We have not met Skylar in person,

00:03:00.739 --> 00:03:01.318
even though we've been

00:03:01.359 --> 00:03:02.500
friends with him online for

00:03:02.539 --> 00:03:03.180
quite a while.

00:03:04.259 --> 00:03:05.039
That happens a lot.

00:03:05.259 --> 00:03:07.080
As these things happen, yeah.

00:03:08.061 --> 00:03:09.361
I've met a lot of dear

00:03:09.421 --> 00:03:10.262
friends for the first time

00:03:10.301 --> 00:03:11.301
in person at DragonCon,

00:03:11.322 --> 00:03:12.823
so it's a good meeting ground.

00:03:13.263 --> 00:03:13.802
Absolutely.

00:03:14.302 --> 00:03:17.383
There are two sisters, two ladies,

00:03:17.463 --> 00:03:20.585
who I met at the very first

00:03:20.685 --> 00:03:21.945
website I worked with

00:03:21.945 --> 00:03:23.575
20 years ago,

00:03:23.596 --> 00:03:25.197
I met them online and they

00:03:25.257 --> 00:03:27.819
just came to Dragon Con two

00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:29.822
years ago because I bugged them to death.

00:03:29.921 --> 00:03:31.804
And they finally said, okay, fine.

00:03:33.025 --> 00:03:35.728
And they love it.

00:03:35.747 --> 00:03:37.008
And they've been back every year since.

00:03:37.408 --> 00:03:37.650
Yeah.

00:03:38.389 --> 00:03:38.950
That's awesome.

00:03:38.991 --> 00:03:39.151
Yeah.

00:03:39.251 --> 00:03:41.152
This is a Dragon Con is a

00:03:41.372 --> 00:03:43.215
massive family reunion for us.

00:03:43.294 --> 00:03:43.335
Um,

00:03:44.881 --> 00:03:47.723
I know, uh, I've been going to PKA surge,

00:03:47.924 --> 00:03:49.645
which is the ghostbusters

00:03:49.746 --> 00:03:52.027
convention within dragon con.

00:03:52.048 --> 00:03:56.012
So our big gathering, um, I've been, I, I,

00:03:56.953 --> 00:03:58.694
I'm one of the few that

00:03:58.715 --> 00:04:00.637
have been going since the first one,

00:04:00.657 --> 00:04:01.657
I haven't missed a one

00:04:01.677 --> 00:04:04.483
since they started it in 2009.

00:04:04.483 --> 00:04:06.625
And that that was my first Dragon Con.

00:04:06.764 --> 00:04:07.966
Chase in the chat has been

00:04:08.006 --> 00:04:09.165
going to Dragon Con for

00:04:09.627 --> 00:04:12.109
ages and is always there.

00:04:12.149 --> 00:04:12.669
He and his wife,

00:04:12.709 --> 00:04:16.432
Katie and both came in 2010

00:04:16.432 --> 00:04:17.793
and has been coming ever since.

00:04:17.812 --> 00:04:19.113
Yeah, I missed the first surge.

00:04:19.134 --> 00:04:21.595
But once I was in the second year,

00:04:21.654 --> 00:04:22.115
I've been hooked.

00:04:22.175 --> 00:04:22.735
I did.

00:04:22.755 --> 00:04:23.596
That was the only year I did

00:04:23.737 --> 00:04:25.958
one day and wore me out.

00:04:26.119 --> 00:04:26.959
But it was still worth it.

00:04:26.999 --> 00:04:28.079
Now I come the whole weekend.

00:04:28.814 --> 00:04:28.934
Yeah.

00:04:28.973 --> 00:04:29.913
You had to stop on the way

00:04:29.973 --> 00:04:31.254
home because you were there

00:04:31.274 --> 00:04:31.995
for that one day.

00:04:33.516 --> 00:04:34.615
My first experience was I

00:04:34.636 --> 00:04:35.916
drove over that Friday night.

00:04:36.197 --> 00:04:36.956
Then we got this,

00:04:37.237 --> 00:04:37.896
I had to get up at the

00:04:37.937 --> 00:04:39.358
crack of dawn to get my, uh,

00:04:39.538 --> 00:04:40.637
my one day pass.

00:04:41.838 --> 00:04:42.459
And then, um,

00:04:43.423 --> 00:04:43.903
We did that,

00:04:43.923 --> 00:04:45.125
and then we did the Surge dinner.

00:04:45.185 --> 00:04:46.266
We did the parade that morning,

00:04:46.286 --> 00:04:46.927
did everything else,

00:04:46.966 --> 00:04:48.127
the Surge dinner that night,

00:04:48.187 --> 00:04:49.189
and then I left about

00:04:50.250 --> 00:04:52.672
shortly before 11 p.m.

00:04:52.692 --> 00:04:53.252
or around 11 p.m.

00:04:53.273 --> 00:04:54.134
to go home,

00:04:54.153 --> 00:04:57.937
and I made it all the way to Oxford,

00:04:57.976 --> 00:04:59.197
and then I had to stop in

00:04:59.218 --> 00:05:00.319
the Home Depot parking lot

00:05:00.339 --> 00:05:01.160
there and take a nap.

00:05:01.180 --> 00:05:04.283
I was like, yep, never ever do it again.

00:05:06.706 --> 00:05:07.187
Yeah.

00:05:07.387 --> 00:05:09.949
Chase, you are the veteran for sure.

00:05:09.990 --> 00:05:11.610
Chase has his first Dragon Con was 1998.

00:05:11.651 --> 00:05:14.093
What was yours, Joe?

00:05:15.353 --> 00:05:17.755
I believe my first one was 99.

00:05:18.637 --> 00:05:21.338
Oh, okay.

00:05:23.781 --> 00:05:24.581
Yeah.

00:05:25.843 --> 00:05:27.002
Okay, let's say 99.

00:05:27.524 --> 00:05:28.365
And it might have been...

00:05:29.543 --> 00:05:38.437
2000.

00:05:30.545 --> 00:05:32.468
I think it was 99 because I

00:05:32.809 --> 00:05:35.673
was working for a website

00:05:35.853 --> 00:05:38.437
in Tuscaloosa called Heckler's Online.

00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:45.083
And they recruited me to

00:05:45.523 --> 00:05:47.124
start up a sci-fi website.

00:05:47.884 --> 00:05:49.867
And me and a couple other people.

00:05:50.247 --> 00:05:53.410
And like every website in the year 2000,

00:05:53.410 --> 00:05:57.653
we crashed and burned almost immediately.

00:05:58.793 --> 00:06:01.175
You were heckled out of there.

00:06:01.196 --> 00:06:01.495
Yes.

00:06:01.516 --> 00:06:01.815
Yes.

00:06:03.137 --> 00:06:06.617
And so they gave me the old

00:06:06.757 --> 00:06:07.958
bootski pretty fast,

00:06:08.017 --> 00:06:10.377
but not before they sent me

00:06:11.278 --> 00:06:13.619
with a guest pass to Dragon

00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.480
Con to cover it that first year.

00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:18.180
And I did interviews.

00:06:18.259 --> 00:06:19.000
I took pictures.

00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:20.480
It was a whole thing.

00:06:21.961 --> 00:06:22.141
Yeah.

00:06:22.221 --> 00:06:23.081
My first year was 2016.

00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:26.401
That's where we met.

00:06:26.420 --> 00:06:27.721
That's where we met.

00:06:27.762 --> 00:06:29.382
That's where I met.

00:06:30.088 --> 00:06:32.389
A lot of the core group of

00:06:32.490 --> 00:06:36.091
my people that are now a

00:06:36.151 --> 00:06:37.932
part of my life was in 2016.

00:06:37.932 --> 00:06:39.791
If I'm not mistaken,

00:06:39.851 --> 00:06:41.413
I believe it was Katie's

00:06:41.492 --> 00:06:43.194
first year or two, I think.

00:06:43.434 --> 00:06:46.435
And we met and, you know,

00:06:46.714 --> 00:06:48.654
friendships form out of Dragon Con.

00:06:48.754 --> 00:06:49.855
And here we are.

00:06:51.076 --> 00:06:53.857
Like Brock said, it is the family reunion.

00:06:56.177 --> 00:06:57.257
That's what it becomes for

00:06:57.298 --> 00:06:58.798
us now more than anything else.

00:06:59.565 --> 00:07:00.526
And you get to see some cool

00:07:00.547 --> 00:07:03.670
celebrities and go to some great panels.

00:07:04.651 --> 00:07:07.134
But just in case anybody here doesn't know,

00:07:07.194 --> 00:07:08.514
we keep talking about Surge.

00:07:09.096 --> 00:07:10.716
We're talking about PKE Surge,

00:07:10.757 --> 00:07:12.579
which is now listed as the

00:07:13.158 --> 00:07:15.201
oldest annual gathering of

00:07:15.262 --> 00:07:17.043
Ghostbusters fans in the world.

00:07:17.062 --> 00:07:17.403
Okay.

00:07:18.283 --> 00:07:19.125
Yep.

00:07:19.245 --> 00:07:20.826
I thought so, yeah.

00:07:20.966 --> 00:07:22.048
The oldest gathering of a

00:07:22.108 --> 00:07:22.908
lot of the oldest.

00:07:23.209 --> 00:07:24.470
Yep.

00:07:24.509 --> 00:07:26.471
The oldest gathering of the most awesome.

00:07:27.353 --> 00:07:27.872
That's right.

00:07:28.733 --> 00:07:30.074
Ghostbusters in the world.

00:07:30.154 --> 00:07:32.617
Joe has taught us a new word, by the way.

00:07:32.656 --> 00:07:33.517
It's awesome now.

00:07:33.577 --> 00:07:34.978
We can't say we're old.

00:07:35.019 --> 00:07:35.600
We're awesome.

00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:37.300
That's right.

00:07:37.841 --> 00:07:39.684
We're so awesome that it

00:07:39.783 --> 00:07:41.064
hurts when we climb stairs.

00:07:41.425 --> 00:07:42.005
Exactly.

00:07:42.026 --> 00:07:42.185
Mm-hmm.

00:07:43.499 --> 00:07:44.279
And the sad thing about

00:07:44.300 --> 00:07:46.362
Dragon Con is if you need

00:07:46.382 --> 00:07:47.182
to take an elevator,

00:07:47.202 --> 00:07:48.363
you're going to be sitting there a while.

00:07:51.226 --> 00:07:52.928
You must go up to go down.

00:07:53.329 --> 00:07:53.550
Yeah.

00:07:54.471 --> 00:07:56.192
Unless you stay in the Cortland.

00:07:56.773 --> 00:07:58.093
And the elevators aren't that bad.

00:07:58.134 --> 00:07:58.615
But then again,

00:07:58.654 --> 00:07:59.596
you may get evicted from

00:07:59.615 --> 00:08:00.997
your room before you get in

00:08:01.016 --> 00:08:01.658
the Dragon Con.

00:08:01.838 --> 00:08:04.021
Oh, what a mess it has been this year.

00:08:04.161 --> 00:08:05.461
Cortland Grand has...

00:08:06.442 --> 00:08:07.466
it used to be the Sheraton

00:08:07.526 --> 00:08:09.271
and was run really well for years.

00:08:09.994 --> 00:08:11.377
And the last two years they've been, uh,

00:08:12.038 --> 00:08:13.182
the Cortland grand under

00:08:13.242 --> 00:08:14.206
Wyndham hotels and,

00:08:17.262 --> 00:08:20.985
we we had a scare uh we we

00:08:21.026 --> 00:08:22.187
thought we lost our room

00:08:22.668 --> 00:08:23.769
and thankfully we got it

00:08:23.809 --> 00:08:25.329
back but a lot of people

00:08:25.389 --> 00:08:26.271
did lose their rooms and a

00:08:26.331 --> 00:08:27.733
lot of people a lot of

00:08:27.752 --> 00:08:29.353
people right now still are

00:08:29.413 --> 00:08:30.836
posting uh like in the

00:08:30.875 --> 00:08:32.136
official dragon con group

00:08:32.658 --> 00:08:34.219
hey uh we just got shifted

00:08:34.278 --> 00:08:35.299
over to the omni from the

00:08:35.340 --> 00:08:36.301
courtland grand so

00:08:38.433 --> 00:08:38.714
Yeah.

00:08:39.195 --> 00:08:40.836
This close to the con and

00:08:41.135 --> 00:08:42.437
people are having their

00:08:42.456 --> 00:08:43.538
reservations moved to other

00:08:43.577 --> 00:08:44.678
hotels from this place.

00:08:44.739 --> 00:08:46.019
And it's like, Oh,

00:08:47.041 --> 00:08:49.102
so I don't know what kind

00:08:49.143 --> 00:08:50.384
of strings you can pull Joe,

00:08:50.423 --> 00:08:56.389
but hopefully I don't think

00:08:56.448 --> 00:08:57.408
it's going to get much worse.

00:08:57.469 --> 00:09:01.312
If you're at the Cortland have mercy,

00:09:01.352 --> 00:09:02.514
they've been having some issues.

00:09:06.142 --> 00:09:10.524
But we're still slated to be there.

00:09:10.563 --> 00:09:15.666
We've been staying there for, oh, golly,

00:09:16.486 --> 00:09:18.006
at least 12, 13 years.

00:09:19.827 --> 00:09:21.609
Wow.

00:09:22.490 --> 00:09:24.951
It was good until it changed ownership.

00:09:25.630 --> 00:09:26.071
Yeah, well,

00:09:26.211 --> 00:09:29.452
there was that one year that

00:09:29.533 --> 00:09:31.453
they had Legionnaire's disease.

00:09:31.474 --> 00:09:31.673
Yeah.

00:09:31.693 --> 00:09:31.933
Yeah.

00:09:31.994 --> 00:09:32.474
Yeah.

00:09:34.403 --> 00:09:35.484
Which was the same year that

00:09:35.504 --> 00:09:36.884
we did not have air in our room,

00:09:36.945 --> 00:09:37.424
was it not?

00:09:38.946 --> 00:09:40.847
Yeah, that was a great year too.

00:09:40.868 --> 00:09:43.629
They cleared out the Legionnaire's disease,

00:09:43.710 --> 00:09:44.951
but forgot the AC.

00:09:45.451 --> 00:09:48.173
They brought us some nice box fans though.

00:09:48.232 --> 00:09:49.433
It's been a mixed bag

00:09:49.453 --> 00:09:51.895
because there was one year we got there,

00:09:52.316 --> 00:09:52.996
somehow they didn't have

00:09:53.057 --> 00:09:53.956
our room ready and then

00:09:53.996 --> 00:09:54.857
they wound up and we got

00:09:54.878 --> 00:09:55.918
thrown into one of the big

00:09:55.979 --> 00:09:57.078
spacious corner rooms,

00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:58.801
which is still my favorite room.

00:09:59.000 --> 00:09:59.821
That's probably my favorite

00:09:59.841 --> 00:10:00.442
DragonCon year.

00:10:00.461 --> 00:10:00.822
What was that?

00:10:00.861 --> 00:10:01.342
That was what, 2018?

00:10:01.962 --> 00:10:02.182
That was 2014.

00:10:02.403 --> 00:10:02.182
2014.

00:10:02.643 --> 00:10:04.844
That was a fun DragonCon.

00:10:04.864 --> 00:10:08.865
That's when Ryan and Evelyn and Todd,

00:10:08.904 --> 00:10:10.765
all from Vancouver,

00:10:10.785 --> 00:10:13.466
from the Ghostbusters of British Columbia,

00:10:13.506 --> 00:10:14.006
came down.

00:10:14.947 --> 00:10:17.548
And we had Ryan Kemp staying

00:10:17.587 --> 00:10:18.729
with us in our room that year.

00:10:18.769 --> 00:10:19.328
And Ryan,

00:10:19.349 --> 00:10:21.109
if you didn't know Ryan and

00:10:21.149 --> 00:10:21.909
you're a Ghostbusters,

00:10:22.710 --> 00:10:24.270
been part of the Ghostbusters fandom,

00:10:24.571 --> 00:10:26.331
if you didn't know Ryan, you missed out.

00:10:26.390 --> 00:10:28.672
He unfortunately passed away in 2015.

00:10:28.711 --> 00:10:29.672
What a

00:10:33.042 --> 00:10:33.903
one of my favorite memories

00:10:33.942 --> 00:10:34.743
from when he stayed for us

00:10:34.763 --> 00:10:35.443
I remember because we kept

00:10:35.504 --> 00:10:36.384
it cold in there and the

00:10:36.403 --> 00:10:37.825
poor guy he was he was

00:10:37.845 --> 00:10:39.586
diabetic and he always ran

00:10:39.625 --> 00:10:40.307
cold but I would never

00:10:40.326 --> 00:10:41.287
forget this is like we came

00:10:41.346 --> 00:10:42.368
in after like because he

00:10:42.388 --> 00:10:43.489
would be asleep at the odd

00:10:43.548 --> 00:10:45.048
times compared to us yeah

00:10:45.070 --> 00:10:46.269
but we came into the room

00:10:46.350 --> 00:10:47.270
one time he was sitting in

00:10:47.331 --> 00:10:48.692
like the provided office

00:10:48.731 --> 00:10:50.153
chair of the room wrapped

00:10:50.293 --> 00:10:51.653
in a like I think he was in

00:10:51.692 --> 00:10:53.033
his full flight suit still

00:10:53.735 --> 00:10:54.715
wrapped in a sleeping

00:10:54.774 --> 00:10:56.076
blanket sleep sleeping

00:10:56.196 --> 00:10:57.336
upright like this no

00:10:58.057 --> 00:10:59.518
ah he was covered the

00:10:59.538 --> 00:11:00.238
blanket his head was

00:11:00.337 --> 00:11:01.638
covered too yes yeah he

00:11:01.658 --> 00:11:02.519
looked like a ghost in a

00:11:02.558 --> 00:11:03.479
sheet just sitting there

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.440
like a giant cocoon type

00:11:05.500 --> 00:11:07.941
yeah because we had it so

00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:09.321
cold in there I feel

00:11:09.380 --> 00:11:10.581
horrible but he was he was

00:11:10.701 --> 00:11:12.542
fine but ryan was a dear

00:11:12.621 --> 00:11:13.883
friend to a lot of us and

00:11:14.722 --> 00:11:18.183

00:11:26.606 --> 00:11:26.966
So yeah.

00:11:27.668 --> 00:11:28.969
Uh, hopefully if,

00:11:29.328 --> 00:11:31.129
if you're heading to dragon con this year,

00:11:31.169 --> 00:11:32.471
hopefully your hotel is good.

00:11:33.572 --> 00:11:35.734
Um, hopefully you're not being evicted.

00:11:39.135 --> 00:11:39.876
Less than two weeks.

00:11:40.496 --> 00:11:41.118
Unbelievable.

00:11:41.337 --> 00:11:42.038
Two weeks.

00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:47.302
So we, we wanted to have Joe on here.

00:11:47.481 --> 00:11:50.203
He joined us a few months ago and, um,

00:11:52.078 --> 00:11:53.519
like I said at the beginning, the,

00:11:53.580 --> 00:11:54.840
the dragon con American

00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:56.681
sci-fi classics track is

00:11:56.841 --> 00:11:58.261
one of our absolute favorite.

00:11:58.642 --> 00:12:01.102
Uh, we go, Joe lives in that room.

00:12:03.644 --> 00:12:05.504
So, uh, he's frozen.

00:12:06.225 --> 00:12:07.826
Oh, there he goes.

00:12:07.846 --> 00:12:08.285
There he is.

00:12:08.306 --> 00:12:14.828
Oh, look who it is there.

00:12:15.562 --> 00:12:16.224
Look at that.

00:12:16.283 --> 00:12:17.565
Our good friend Roberto.

00:12:17.664 --> 00:12:18.605
And I thought he said he was

00:12:18.644 --> 00:12:19.625
only being listening.

00:12:19.686 --> 00:12:20.346
Look at him.

00:12:20.447 --> 00:12:22.307
Look at him participating in the chat.

00:12:22.327 --> 00:12:22.849
That's right.

00:12:22.908 --> 00:12:23.749
Thank you, Roberto.

00:12:23.788 --> 00:12:24.529
Hey, Roberto.

00:12:24.809 --> 00:12:26.250
Ectovator, boogeyman,

00:12:26.591 --> 00:12:28.513
Roberto cop in the house, y'all.

00:12:29.974 --> 00:12:30.934
Our dancing Jawa.

00:12:31.294 --> 00:12:31.595
Yes.

00:12:31.634 --> 00:12:31.855
Yeah.

00:12:32.395 --> 00:12:33.856
Our Michael Jackson trooper, right?

00:12:34.116 --> 00:12:34.216
Yeah.

00:12:34.297 --> 00:12:34.636
Oh, yeah.

00:12:34.697 --> 00:12:36.038
Michael Jackson stormtrooper.

00:12:36.138 --> 00:12:37.580
He has many aliases.

00:12:37.940 --> 00:12:38.120
Yeah.

00:12:38.844 --> 00:12:42.846
I don't think I've met Mr. Roberto,

00:12:42.866 --> 00:12:45.109
but Domo Arigato, I'm sorry,

00:12:45.428 --> 00:12:47.070
but are we talking

00:12:47.091 --> 00:12:48.412
boogeyman like WWE's boogeyman?

00:12:48.511 --> 00:12:49.712
I don't know which boogeyman.

00:12:52.014 --> 00:12:53.335
And are there worms?

00:12:53.696 --> 00:12:54.375
That is all I'm asking.

00:12:56.017 --> 00:12:57.278
I don't think that boogeyman,

00:12:57.298 --> 00:12:58.619
not the one he's going to get you.

00:12:58.798 --> 00:13:00.780
Okay.

00:13:00.821 --> 00:13:02.903
He also has Don Condor Man one year.

00:13:03.202 --> 00:13:04.384
Yes, he was Condor Man.

00:13:04.504 --> 00:13:05.283
Oh, wow.

00:13:05.825 --> 00:13:06.004
Okay.

00:13:08.211 --> 00:13:09.131
And it's funny that you say

00:13:09.251 --> 00:13:10.993
Domo Arigato is he actually

00:13:11.033 --> 00:13:13.195
has done that costume.

00:13:15.456 --> 00:13:20.179
I haven't even seen it, but excellent.

00:13:22.022 --> 00:13:23.482
Roberto is a man of many,

00:13:23.903 --> 00:13:25.024
many talents when it comes

00:13:25.063 --> 00:13:25.724
to these things.

00:13:25.904 --> 00:13:26.664
You never know what he's

00:13:26.684 --> 00:13:27.625
going to pop up as,

00:13:27.666 --> 00:13:29.027
but that one year he did Condor Man.

00:13:29.047 --> 00:13:30.327
I was like, oh, that's impressive.

00:13:30.388 --> 00:13:32.089
I think he, Roberto,

00:13:32.149 --> 00:13:33.289
correct us if we're wrong.

00:13:33.309 --> 00:13:35.091
You won an award in one of the,

00:13:35.192 --> 00:13:36.873
in the costume contest that year, right?

00:13:38.347 --> 00:13:39.307
I think he had the fully

00:13:39.347 --> 00:13:40.708
extendable wings and everything,

00:13:40.749 --> 00:13:40.989
didn't he?

00:13:42.428 --> 00:13:43.330
Yeah, I think so.

00:13:46.890 --> 00:13:48.511
But so, yeah,

00:13:48.532 --> 00:13:52.413
while we're while we're sitting here, Joe,

00:13:53.552 --> 00:13:55.053
oh, he's panicking.

00:13:56.234 --> 00:13:58.855
That's the exact mode to be in two weeks.

00:13:59.154 --> 00:13:59.434
Yeah.

00:14:00.235 --> 00:14:01.096
Except for us.

00:14:01.355 --> 00:14:03.037
We're just sewing, sewing patches on our.

00:14:03.947 --> 00:14:06.429
on our casual Ghostbuster shirts.

00:14:07.890 --> 00:14:08.990
Jess and I have not done

00:14:09.192 --> 00:14:11.533
anything massive in years.

00:14:12.553 --> 00:14:13.433
We need to get back to it.

00:14:14.235 --> 00:14:16.456
Anyway, why we're here is for Joe.

00:14:16.756 --> 00:14:17.057
Joe.

00:14:18.677 --> 00:14:19.619
And we want to hear all

00:14:19.678 --> 00:14:21.799
about what's happening this

00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:22.921
year for the American

00:14:22.961 --> 00:14:24.741
Sci-Fi Classics track.

00:14:26.263 --> 00:14:26.962
Well, we,

00:14:27.624 --> 00:14:29.445
against everyone's better judgment,

00:14:29.524 --> 00:14:31.206
we start programming on Thursday.

00:14:32.027 --> 00:14:32.147
Mm-hmm.

00:14:32.725 --> 00:14:33.605
Instead of,

00:14:34.125 --> 00:14:37.226
and we were one of the first

00:14:37.606 --> 00:14:38.606
tracks to do that.

00:14:39.167 --> 00:14:40.447
And I think all the other

00:14:40.508 --> 00:14:42.089
tracks may be a little mad

00:14:42.168 --> 00:14:43.269
at us because now they

00:14:43.788 --> 00:14:44.950
start Thursday also.

00:14:46.629 --> 00:14:47.951
It was an accident.

00:14:48.530 --> 00:14:49.571
And here's the story.

00:14:50.631 --> 00:14:51.471
There's a group called the

00:14:51.532 --> 00:14:52.773
Dragon Con Newbies.

00:14:53.293 --> 00:14:54.673
And if this is your first year,

00:14:55.293 --> 00:14:56.413
Skylar up in the chat,

00:14:57.053 --> 00:14:57.813
there's a group called

00:14:57.874 --> 00:14:59.095
Dragon Con Newbies.

00:14:59.154 --> 00:15:00.495
And they do tours that tell

00:15:00.514 --> 00:15:01.395
you where everything is.

00:15:02.416 --> 00:15:04.778
And those guys got on the schedule,

00:15:04.817 --> 00:15:05.879
and they were doing stuff

00:15:06.099 --> 00:15:08.700
Thursday in their first year.

00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:11.922
So they added a day to the

00:15:12.663 --> 00:15:14.443
schedule gizmo that we all

00:15:14.524 --> 00:15:16.586
fill out with our schedules every year.

00:15:17.285 --> 00:15:19.768
And myself and my co-director, Gary,

00:15:19.807 --> 00:15:20.908
we were looking through it and said,

00:15:20.967 --> 00:15:21.969
hey –

00:15:21.969 --> 00:15:22.269
there's,

00:15:22.470 --> 00:15:24.871
there's an open times for Thursday.

00:15:25.753 --> 00:15:26.854
And we were like, Ooh,

00:15:26.933 --> 00:15:27.995
let's put panels there.

00:15:28.534 --> 00:15:31.918
And then we like packed out

00:15:31.999 --> 00:15:33.799
our room on the two or

00:15:33.820 --> 00:15:35.020
three panels that we did.

00:15:35.041 --> 00:15:37.624
Um, and, and, uh,

00:15:39.027 --> 00:15:41.469
It's been chaos ever since.

00:15:41.849 --> 00:15:44.610
But starting on Thursday,

00:15:45.250 --> 00:15:49.734
we are doing... Let me... Yes.

00:15:50.995 --> 00:15:54.157
What we're doing on Thursday is... Now,

00:15:54.596 --> 00:15:56.957
our buddies in the American

00:15:57.278 --> 00:15:59.100
SF Fantasy Media track...

00:16:00.861 --> 00:16:01.863
which is, I believe,

00:16:02.222 --> 00:16:04.404
the shows that are on TV right now.

00:16:06.486 --> 00:16:08.288
They always host a geek

00:16:08.368 --> 00:16:10.990
sing-along on the first night of con,

00:16:12.171 --> 00:16:12.951
on Thursday night.

00:16:13.111 --> 00:16:14.732
And so they just put words

00:16:14.812 --> 00:16:17.294
to TV themes and movie

00:16:17.335 --> 00:16:18.796
themes on the screen,

00:16:18.836 --> 00:16:20.157
and everybody sings.

00:16:20.758 --> 00:16:22.139
They put it in a big ballroom.

00:16:22.278 --> 00:16:23.620
Everybody goes nutso.

00:16:24.419 --> 00:16:25.681
While they are doing that,

00:16:26.402 --> 00:16:27.822
we are doing a...

00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:31.001
a panel called

00:16:31.889 --> 00:16:33.049
this is only the second time

00:16:33.090 --> 00:16:33.549
we've done it.

00:16:33.590 --> 00:16:34.291
We're doing a, uh,

00:16:34.750 --> 00:16:37.133
sci-fi music video book club.

00:16:38.072 --> 00:16:39.734
And what we're doing is

00:16:39.793 --> 00:16:41.115
we're picking out each of each,

00:16:41.895 --> 00:16:42.876
every person on the panel

00:16:42.937 --> 00:16:44.778
is picking out a music video,

00:16:44.898 --> 00:16:46.418
probably from the eighties since,

00:16:46.739 --> 00:16:47.700
you know, music videos,

00:16:48.941 --> 00:16:51.361
if it has some kind of sci-fi connection,

00:16:51.783 --> 00:16:53.443
and then we're really

00:16:53.563 --> 00:16:55.485
digging into them and analyzing them.

00:16:55.544 --> 00:16:56.385
And by that, I mean,

00:16:57.385 --> 00:16:59.288
making fun of Casey and the

00:16:59.307 --> 00:16:59.847
sunshine band.

00:17:00.327 --> 00:17:01.009
Yeah.

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.421
Cause that's the one I'm

00:17:03.461 --> 00:17:04.201
picking this year.

00:17:04.300 --> 00:17:06.163
It's give it up by Casey and

00:17:06.202 --> 00:17:08.963
there's animatronic lizards in it.

00:17:10.025 --> 00:17:11.145
It's crazy.

00:17:12.586 --> 00:17:14.487
But the craziest music video

00:17:14.607 --> 00:17:15.907
is Billy oceans.

00:17:17.808 --> 00:17:19.269
Is it, it's not Caribbean queen.

00:17:19.369 --> 00:17:19.589
Is it?

00:17:19.810 --> 00:17:20.651
I think it may be,

00:17:20.730 --> 00:17:23.553
but it is like a star Wars movie.

00:17:23.932 --> 00:17:24.333
No, no.

00:17:24.373 --> 00:17:25.173
I know which one it is.

00:17:25.733 --> 00:17:26.414
I know which one it is.

00:17:26.434 --> 00:17:27.474
It's not Caribbean queen.

00:17:27.535 --> 00:17:28.516
Is it lover boy?

00:17:28.976 --> 00:17:29.516
Thank you.

00:17:29.635 --> 00:17:30.017
Dang it.

00:17:31.383 --> 00:17:32.324
It is Loverboy.

00:17:33.305 --> 00:17:34.567
Talk to me about 80s music.

00:17:34.606 --> 00:17:36.910
Yeah, exactly.

00:17:37.430 --> 00:17:41.154
But no, that video is amazing.

00:17:41.996 --> 00:17:45.601
See, that is why they're good friends.

00:17:45.621 --> 00:17:46.721
They're on that same wavelength.

00:17:49.328 --> 00:17:51.550
Oh, and, um, later in,

00:17:52.010 --> 00:17:52.731
I'm gonna skip ahead.

00:17:52.751 --> 00:17:56.055
Uh, we are doing a, for the,

00:17:56.075 --> 00:17:57.615
I don't know how many years in a row.

00:17:57.655 --> 00:17:57.776
It's,

00:17:57.796 --> 00:17:59.738
it's somebody's first year at Dragon

00:17:59.778 --> 00:18:00.597
Con every year,

00:18:00.678 --> 00:18:02.519
but we started doing a very

00:18:02.579 --> 00:18:04.981
fun thing where we read, we get a,

00:18:05.102 --> 00:18:06.202
we get a group of folks and

00:18:06.222 --> 00:18:09.705
we do table reads of TV episode scripts.

00:18:10.506 --> 00:18:11.326
And this year,

00:18:11.507 --> 00:18:12.847
Jess and Brock are going to

00:18:12.867 --> 00:18:13.608
be involved and,

00:18:14.465 --> 00:18:14.666
I am?

00:18:14.686 --> 00:18:14.767
Yeah.

00:18:14.787 --> 00:18:15.468
We're doing two episodes.

00:18:15.488 --> 00:18:17.171
We're doing one episode of

00:18:17.771 --> 00:18:18.574
Out of This World.

00:18:18.634 --> 00:18:18.653
A...

00:18:26.448 --> 00:18:28.028
quickly canceled, I think,

00:18:28.388 --> 00:18:30.609
sitcom where a girl was

00:18:30.769 --> 00:18:33.151
half an alien and she had

00:18:33.330 --> 00:18:37.251
powers and her dad spoke to

00:18:37.311 --> 00:18:42.314
her through a crystal, like a rectangle,

00:18:42.354 --> 00:18:42.834
not a rectangle,

00:18:42.854 --> 00:18:45.154
it was like an octagonal crystal.

00:18:45.934 --> 00:18:47.596
And the crystal's voice,

00:18:47.796 --> 00:18:50.116
her father's voice was Burt Reynolds,

00:18:50.136 --> 00:18:50.237
right?

00:18:51.827 --> 00:18:53.068
He's not making this up.

00:18:53.229 --> 00:18:56.791
I'm not making any of this up.

00:18:58.034 --> 00:18:59.515
And then we are getting

00:18:59.555 --> 00:19:04.660
together with another group at DragonCon,

00:19:04.819 --> 00:19:06.101
a cosplay group that has

00:19:06.161 --> 00:19:07.623
sprung up in the last few years,

00:19:07.702 --> 00:19:08.563
the Mrs. Ropers group.

00:19:12.031 --> 00:19:13.353
And, yeah, it is.

00:19:14.374 --> 00:19:15.394
Again, this is real.

00:19:17.175 --> 00:19:20.178
A supporting character from a 70s sitcom,

00:19:20.617 --> 00:19:21.358
Mrs. Roper,

00:19:21.459 --> 00:19:24.780
now has new life at DragonCon.

00:19:25.122 --> 00:19:26.402
And everybody just puts on

00:19:27.022 --> 00:19:28.763
orange wigs and caftans.

00:19:29.243 --> 00:19:29.464
Yeah.

00:19:30.025 --> 00:19:31.905
It's the easiest cosplay.

00:19:32.446 --> 00:19:33.227
May not be the easiest.

00:19:33.267 --> 00:19:33.887
And comfortable.

00:19:34.528 --> 00:19:35.269
So comfortable.

00:19:35.288 --> 00:19:35.429
Yeah.

00:19:36.337 --> 00:19:40.401

00:20:04.926 --> 00:20:06.228
You better have a Thighmaster with you.

00:20:07.048 --> 00:20:08.008
Oh, you got to, Chase.

00:20:08.208 --> 00:20:10.409
Bring the Thighmaster.

00:20:11.009 --> 00:20:12.128
He's got the long wig.

00:20:13.490 --> 00:20:14.589
But what we're going to do is,

00:20:16.029 --> 00:20:17.851
no matter how many Mrs. Ropers we get,

00:20:17.911 --> 00:20:18.691
we're going to get Mrs.

00:20:18.750 --> 00:20:20.211
Roper's dialogue up on our

00:20:20.412 --> 00:20:22.231
video screens and just have

00:20:22.692 --> 00:20:23.972
all of them yell their

00:20:24.012 --> 00:20:25.093
lines at the same time.

00:20:27.067 --> 00:20:27.827
Now we've got to find some

00:20:27.847 --> 00:20:28.748
kind of termination of a

00:20:28.807 --> 00:20:30.148
gathering of Mrs. Ropers.

00:20:30.829 --> 00:20:35.432
We need to think about that.

00:20:35.833 --> 00:20:36.452
Ruma Ropers.

00:20:38.575 --> 00:20:42.817
Okay, I'm working on that.

00:20:42.837 --> 00:20:46.480
I want to spin it off from PKE Surge,

00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:49.281
and I want to call it Something Surge.

00:20:49.741 --> 00:20:53.305
And I want to call it... Let's see,

00:20:53.365 --> 00:20:53.625

00:20:55.048 --> 00:20:56.990
The Stanley Surge.

00:20:57.510 --> 00:20:58.471
The Stanley Surge.

00:20:59.211 --> 00:21:02.875
The Kaftan Surge.

00:21:03.035 --> 00:21:03.635
We're working on it.

00:21:04.135 --> 00:21:05.096
We're workshopping it.

00:21:05.217 --> 00:21:07.898
It's fine.

00:21:09.259 --> 00:21:10.800
Kung Pal Kirby, welcome to the chat.

00:21:11.020 --> 00:21:12.541
She says, hey, Joe, it's Sarah Rose.

00:21:12.781 --> 00:21:14.544
Oh, hey, Sarah.

00:21:15.565 --> 00:21:18.866
Our friend Sarah is part of

00:21:19.406 --> 00:21:22.130
an unofficial group at DragonCon where

00:21:23.190 --> 00:21:24.771
uh called the they're doing

00:21:24.791 --> 00:21:26.333
the an unofficial theater

00:21:26.393 --> 00:21:29.515
track so for okay but

00:21:29.535 --> 00:21:30.655
they're working on getting

00:21:30.776 --> 00:21:32.538
a full official theater

00:21:32.577 --> 00:21:34.199
track happening at the con

00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:36.601
but in the meantime they're

00:21:36.901 --> 00:21:37.961
spread across a bunch of

00:21:38.001 --> 00:21:38.803
tracks and they're doing

00:21:38.843 --> 00:21:41.144
panels for theater geeks uh

00:21:41.224 --> 00:21:42.286
we in fact one of the

00:21:42.346 --> 00:21:44.267
nights we're hosting a rent

00:21:44.547 --> 00:21:47.509
sing-along and that's

00:21:47.589 --> 00:21:48.750
spread across several

00:21:48.810 --> 00:21:49.611
tracks they're doing a

00:21:49.652 --> 00:21:51.333
bunch of other cool stuff okay

00:21:52.699 --> 00:21:55.940
If you're a live performance nerd,

00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:57.340
like apparently I am.

00:22:00.221 --> 00:22:01.142
Anyway, it's fun stuff.

00:22:02.522 --> 00:22:03.782
Awesome.

00:22:05.844 --> 00:22:06.124
I think,

00:22:06.203 --> 00:22:07.265
is this the first I've heard about

00:22:07.305 --> 00:22:09.865
me being involved in the table read?

00:22:09.905 --> 00:22:10.246
Maybe.

00:22:13.106 --> 00:22:13.307
Well,

00:22:13.366 --> 00:22:14.948
you're going to be with me wherever I

00:22:14.988 --> 00:22:16.749
go and I'm going to be at the table read.

00:22:16.868 --> 00:22:18.328
So you just,

00:22:18.528 --> 00:22:19.390
you just let me know what you

00:22:19.430 --> 00:22:20.230
need me to do, Joe.

00:22:20.369 --> 00:22:21.691
I am at your beck and call.

00:22:22.030 --> 00:22:22.290
Yeah.

00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:24.961
And we've got other panels you can be on,

00:22:25.001 --> 00:22:25.201
too.

00:22:25.701 --> 00:22:27.703
YouTube-o, we'll get something for you.

00:22:27.723 --> 00:22:29.065
Yeah, I'll look at it.

00:22:29.105 --> 00:22:29.846
Just walk in the room and

00:22:29.865 --> 00:22:30.606
stick us on something,

00:22:30.666 --> 00:22:34.109
even if it's nothing we know about.

00:22:34.130 --> 00:22:34.769
I can ramble.

00:22:35.411 --> 00:22:36.152
Yeah, exactly.

00:22:37.031 --> 00:22:39.775
The very first panel I ever

00:22:39.855 --> 00:22:41.455
did at DragonCon that I was

00:22:41.516 --> 00:22:44.259
ever on was assigned to me,

00:22:44.338 --> 00:22:46.340
and it was a show that I had never seen.

00:22:47.563 --> 00:22:49.503
It was Andromeda,

00:22:49.624 --> 00:22:52.184
that Kevin Sorbo spaceship show.

00:22:53.006 --> 00:22:53.685
And luckily,

00:22:54.185 --> 00:22:55.247
one of the other guys on the

00:22:55.287 --> 00:22:56.567
panel had written

00:22:57.028 --> 00:22:58.949
novelizations of the show.

00:22:59.469 --> 00:23:00.730
So I just let him talk.

00:23:00.849 --> 00:23:01.710
It was great.

00:23:04.490 --> 00:23:07.452
Anyway, so also Thursday night,

00:23:07.492 --> 00:23:09.973
we're doing a, because of our table read,

00:23:10.013 --> 00:23:11.275
we're doing a panel on

00:23:11.375 --> 00:23:12.855
classic sci-fi sitcoms.

00:23:12.875 --> 00:23:13.715
Mm-hmm.

00:23:14.420 --> 00:23:16.580
Probably from the 80s, mostly.

00:23:16.981 --> 00:23:18.182
And, of course, gosh,

00:23:18.241 --> 00:23:19.742
we'll go as far back as you need to.

00:23:19.803 --> 00:23:22.084
But my favorite Martian, Alf,

00:23:22.244 --> 00:23:23.325
Third Rock from the Sun.

00:23:23.825 --> 00:23:24.546
You know, we'll go there.

00:23:25.105 --> 00:23:25.586
It'll be great.

00:23:27.047 --> 00:23:28.847
But our big capper on

00:23:28.928 --> 00:23:30.409
Thursday night is we are

00:23:30.469 --> 00:23:32.029
doing an alternative music

00:23:32.230 --> 00:23:34.652
MTV 120 minutes dance party.

00:23:35.291 --> 00:23:37.292
I did hear about that.

00:23:37.333 --> 00:23:39.114
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:23:39.233 --> 00:23:41.215
Speaking of old and awesome, we...

00:23:42.569 --> 00:23:44.253
Go ahead.

00:23:45.757 --> 00:23:46.439
What night is that?

00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:47.340
Thursday.

00:23:47.781 --> 00:23:48.202
Thursday.

00:23:48.323 --> 00:23:48.503
Okay.

00:23:49.405 --> 00:23:51.048
We're doing it an hour and a

00:23:51.107 --> 00:23:52.449
half earlier than we did it

00:23:52.509 --> 00:23:54.651
last year because we are awesome.

00:23:55.692 --> 00:23:56.551
That's right.

00:23:57.032 --> 00:23:58.473
It's too late to be alternative.

00:23:59.214 --> 00:24:04.419
It is.

00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:06.221
Our alternative rock isn't dead.

00:24:06.260 --> 00:24:07.761
It just goes to bed at a decent hour.

00:24:07.781 --> 00:24:09.624
There we go.

00:24:09.784 --> 00:24:11.484
And last year we did a panel

00:24:11.565 --> 00:24:13.787
before the dance party started and we,

00:24:14.728 --> 00:24:16.869
quickly we realized let's

00:24:17.009 --> 00:24:18.490
just get to the dance party

00:24:18.510 --> 00:24:21.053
so now there's no panel

00:24:21.393 --> 00:24:22.232
we're just doing a thing

00:24:22.733 --> 00:24:23.473
we're just doing the dance

00:24:23.493 --> 00:24:25.174
thing so that's happening

00:24:27.017 --> 00:24:27.997
jay says we still need a

00:24:28.037 --> 00:24:29.077
table read of the episode

00:24:29.097 --> 00:24:30.159
of the dukes of hazard with

00:24:30.199 --> 00:24:31.119
the alien they called

00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:32.580
little cousin oh it's

00:24:32.601 --> 00:24:36.303
happening joe's gonna go

00:24:36.363 --> 00:24:37.263
print the script right

00:24:37.304 --> 00:24:39.986
after the last this we have

00:24:41.066 --> 00:24:42.346
there's literally uh

00:24:42.346 --> 00:24:47.403
90 years of television episodes we can do.

00:24:48.063 --> 00:24:48.343
Right.

00:24:48.784 --> 00:24:51.244
And so, Dukes of Hazzard is,

00:24:51.806 --> 00:24:52.726
I really want to do it.

00:24:52.746 --> 00:24:57.769
It doesn't matter.

00:24:57.888 --> 00:24:59.069
It doesn't matter.

00:24:59.089 --> 00:25:01.111
Katie says it's the worst episode ever.

00:25:01.490 --> 00:25:04.492
But that's why it belongs on the track,

00:25:04.553 --> 00:25:04.772
right?

00:25:04.813 --> 00:25:05.673
Yeah.

00:25:06.755 --> 00:25:07.954
And we do panels about

00:25:07.994 --> 00:25:11.537
things that are of some quality also,

00:25:12.077 --> 00:25:12.357
maybe.

00:25:12.897 --> 00:25:13.137
Right.

00:25:13.558 --> 00:25:13.858
But we...

00:25:16.209 --> 00:25:19.132
And another thing we're doing on,

00:25:19.913 --> 00:25:21.255
I'm talking all about Thursday.

00:25:21.595 --> 00:25:22.316
I'll skip around.

00:25:23.057 --> 00:25:24.618
We're doing now our

00:25:24.699 --> 00:25:25.940
celebrity guest this year.

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:27.842
And again, this is totally,

00:25:28.303 --> 00:25:29.263
we don't know who's going

00:25:29.284 --> 00:25:30.305
to show up or who will be

00:25:30.404 --> 00:25:31.105
able to show up.

00:25:31.205 --> 00:25:33.508
But Smallville and Heroes

00:25:33.729 --> 00:25:34.930
are our shows this year.

00:25:34.950 --> 00:25:35.530
Mm-hmm.

00:25:36.050 --> 00:25:37.252
And guests from both of

00:25:37.313 --> 00:25:40.215
those series are coming,

00:25:40.655 --> 00:25:42.657
like Kristen Krug, who played Lana.

00:25:42.877 --> 00:25:44.881
Lana Lang on Smallville will be here.

00:25:45.681 --> 00:25:48.644
And several of the heroes

00:25:49.204 --> 00:25:51.007
from The Heroes Show will be here.

00:25:51.247 --> 00:25:53.730
And we'll do Q&As with them

00:25:54.049 --> 00:25:57.173
and fun stuff of that ilk.

00:25:58.573 --> 00:25:59.814
And we're doing anniversary

00:25:59.874 --> 00:26:04.214
panels of the show, the, I guess,

00:26:04.355 --> 00:26:06.936
comedy drama, Freaks and Geeks.

00:26:08.037 --> 00:26:09.298
Oh, nice.

00:26:09.438 --> 00:26:09.958
Oh, okay.

00:26:10.157 --> 00:26:10.518
Gotcha.

00:26:11.178 --> 00:26:12.459
And we're doing a,

00:26:14.900 --> 00:26:16.901
it's called Every Ape I See,

00:26:16.921 --> 00:26:20.082
A Celebration of Apes in Cinema History.

00:26:23.262 --> 00:26:23.703
Stop.

00:26:25.324 --> 00:26:25.743
I'm sorry.

00:26:25.763 --> 00:26:26.605
I don't know why that got me.

00:26:27.478 --> 00:26:31.021
Good.

00:26:31.041 --> 00:26:32.703
I don't know if there's an

00:26:32.763 --> 00:26:35.226
award for names of panels,

00:26:35.727 --> 00:26:36.688
but if there is,

00:26:36.708 --> 00:26:39.770
I should be grandfathered

00:26:39.931 --> 00:26:40.892
in as the winner.

00:26:41.432 --> 00:26:41.893
I agree.

00:26:42.173 --> 00:26:43.714
Oh, good.

00:26:43.895 --> 00:26:44.415
I got it.

00:26:48.479 --> 00:26:52.881
I got brought to you're you're correct.

00:26:52.901 --> 00:26:53.721
Mitchell.

00:26:53.760 --> 00:26:54.301
Hey Mitchell.

00:26:54.961 --> 00:26:55.561
Hello.

00:26:55.882 --> 00:26:57.222
It's like a mini dragon.

00:26:57.323 --> 00:26:59.003
Anyone needs to be in any of

00:26:59.044 --> 00:27:00.203
the panel for the singing

00:27:00.284 --> 00:27:01.265
of the TV theme songs.

00:27:01.325 --> 00:27:03.846
Is that gentleman right there?

00:27:03.865 --> 00:27:06.346
Got to get Mitchell in into the TV,

00:27:06.366 --> 00:27:06.928
TV songs.

00:27:07.788 --> 00:27:09.028
Oh, we're doing it Thursday night.

00:27:09.068 --> 00:27:09.949
He's got to be there.

00:27:10.048 --> 00:27:11.549
He's got an album by the way.

00:27:11.789 --> 00:27:12.529
Yeah.

00:27:12.930 --> 00:27:13.130
Yeah.

00:27:13.190 --> 00:27:13.351
Yeah.

00:27:13.371 --> 00:27:13.911
We got it.

00:27:14.010 --> 00:27:14.290
Well,

00:27:14.912 --> 00:27:15.432
Oh, I wish I could,

00:27:15.653 --> 00:27:16.394
I wish I could put my hands

00:27:16.454 --> 00:27:16.976
on it right now.

00:27:16.996 --> 00:27:18.417
I've got it somewhere.

00:27:18.438 --> 00:27:19.820
My CD case back over there.

00:27:19.861 --> 00:27:20.141
Yeah.

00:27:21.343 --> 00:27:23.227
Where Mitchell sings the kids.

00:27:25.834 --> 00:27:26.875
But our big panel that we're

00:27:26.914 --> 00:27:32.538
doing Friday night is, let's see,

00:27:32.718 --> 00:27:35.039
it starts around 1030 at night,

00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:37.280
but we are doing our

00:27:37.381 --> 00:27:38.922
charity movie lock in.

00:27:38.942 --> 00:27:40.383
Oh, that's right.

00:27:40.502 --> 00:27:41.182
Yeah.

00:27:41.222 --> 00:27:42.844
What we do is we show an

00:27:43.023 --> 00:27:45.645
allegedly unpopular or and

00:27:45.685 --> 00:27:48.548
or bad movie and we lock the door.

00:27:49.753 --> 00:27:50.775
If you want to leave,

00:27:51.134 --> 00:27:52.516
you have to donate to the

00:27:52.556 --> 00:27:55.497
Dragon Con charity, which this year,

00:27:55.537 --> 00:27:55.998
I believe,

00:27:56.057 --> 00:27:59.319
is the Arthritis Foundation of Atlanta.

00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:01.661
But, you know, technically,

00:28:01.721 --> 00:28:03.741
we can't officially kidnap you.

00:28:03.781 --> 00:28:04.461
That's illegal.

00:28:04.521 --> 00:28:05.323
Yeah, that's it.

00:28:06.432 --> 00:28:08.594
So really you could leave

00:28:08.673 --> 00:28:10.555
without giving anything to the charity,

00:28:10.634 --> 00:28:12.236
but you know, commit to the bit.

00:28:12.435 --> 00:28:12.695
Come on.

00:28:12.855 --> 00:28:13.136
Right.

00:28:13.297 --> 00:28:13.576
Right.

00:28:13.596 --> 00:28:15.377
We're going to make you feel

00:28:15.417 --> 00:28:16.459
guilty if you don't.

00:28:17.038 --> 00:28:17.920
Yeah.

00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:20.280
So we are.

00:28:20.361 --> 00:28:22.643
Going back to the information.

00:28:29.227 --> 00:28:29.728
Chase says,

00:28:29.768 --> 00:28:30.627
I just learned the other day

00:28:30.667 --> 00:28:31.828
that the orangutan from

00:28:32.230 --> 00:28:33.371
Cannonball 2 is the same

00:28:33.451 --> 00:28:35.152
one from Every Which Way But Loose.

00:28:35.992 --> 00:28:36.813
Right turn, Clyde.

00:28:36.913 --> 00:28:38.295
This is good information.

00:28:38.734 --> 00:28:40.856
We can use this at that panel.

00:28:42.032 --> 00:28:44.013
Thank you, Chase.

00:28:44.614 --> 00:28:46.413
Thank you, Chase.

00:28:47.034 --> 00:28:49.775
Always bringing the information.

00:28:50.295 --> 00:28:50.954
Exactly.

00:28:54.395 --> 00:28:55.576
Anyway, that night,

00:28:55.596 --> 00:28:57.096
the movie we're watching is

00:28:57.517 --> 00:28:58.676
Miami Connection.

00:28:59.436 --> 00:29:03.077
I haven't heard of this one.

00:29:03.258 --> 00:29:04.439
I am not familiar with this.

00:29:04.459 --> 00:29:04.959
It is from 1987.

00:29:05.019 --> 00:29:05.999
It is a martial arts epic.

00:29:11.421 --> 00:29:17.823
He uses the term epic loosely now.

00:29:17.903 --> 00:29:20.623
To set the mood, to set the scene,

00:29:21.503 --> 00:29:22.604
before the movie,

00:29:22.763 --> 00:29:26.404
we're bringing in a band

00:29:26.565 --> 00:29:29.905
from Atlanta who some of

00:29:29.965 --> 00:29:31.426
the members of the band are

00:29:31.727 --> 00:29:34.647
panelists or have been panelists for us.

00:29:34.688 --> 00:29:37.488
The band is called Neon Warlords.

00:29:37.548 --> 00:29:38.949
They are a synth band

00:29:39.903 --> 00:29:40.904
Rock band.

00:29:41.945 --> 00:29:45.548
And they costume as if they're in the 80s.

00:29:46.108 --> 00:29:47.490
Headbands, spandex.

00:29:47.609 --> 00:29:49.111
It's a whole deal.

00:29:49.711 --> 00:29:50.551
And they're going to wear

00:29:50.632 --> 00:29:52.093
Dragon Sound t-shirts.

00:29:53.634 --> 00:29:54.315
Dragon Sound,

00:29:54.355 --> 00:29:58.738
the fictional band from Miami Connection.

00:29:59.458 --> 00:29:59.979
Delightful.

00:30:01.586 --> 00:30:02.708
In fact, in the chat,

00:30:03.087 --> 00:30:04.509
I'm going to put a video

00:30:04.568 --> 00:30:05.529
from Neon Warlords.

00:30:05.609 --> 00:30:06.871
Anyway, they're performing live.

00:30:07.771 --> 00:30:08.772
And then that's going to be

00:30:08.792 --> 00:30:11.474
our intro to the movie.

00:30:12.276 --> 00:30:12.996
Fantastic.

00:30:13.195 --> 00:30:14.978
Katie said Miami Connection is rough,

00:30:15.038 --> 00:30:16.358
but amazing.

00:30:16.638 --> 00:30:17.339
What night is this?

00:30:18.280 --> 00:30:19.101
This is Friday.

00:30:19.602 --> 00:30:20.201
Friday night at 1030.

00:30:20.281 --> 00:30:20.803
Yep.

00:30:22.624 --> 00:30:24.244
I prayed that morning, though.

00:30:24.766 --> 00:30:26.686
Oh, yeah.

00:30:26.727 --> 00:30:27.147
You know what?

00:30:27.228 --> 00:30:28.969
I may suffer for this this

00:30:28.989 --> 00:30:29.950
year because now I'm

00:30:29.990 --> 00:30:31.111
interested in seeing this movie.

00:30:32.954 --> 00:30:34.655
It is a delight.

00:30:35.395 --> 00:30:38.518
Chase, is there anyone that leaves that?

00:30:38.778 --> 00:30:40.638
There's the skating review you need.

00:30:40.659 --> 00:30:44.842
And if you're in the chat,

00:30:45.221 --> 00:30:47.363
Joe has put the link to the video.

00:30:49.304 --> 00:30:50.704
I'll put the trailer for

00:30:50.744 --> 00:30:52.125
Miami Connection in there too.

00:30:52.246 --> 00:30:52.625
Like I said,

00:30:52.645 --> 00:30:53.346
just watch this when you're

00:30:53.365 --> 00:30:53.866
finished with us.

00:30:53.886 --> 00:30:54.386
Don't watch it now.

00:30:54.406 --> 00:30:55.067
Stay on here with Joe.

00:30:55.086 --> 00:30:55.508
For goodness sake.

00:31:00.134 --> 00:31:00.314
I mean,

00:31:00.334 --> 00:31:01.695
he's got Santa in the background

00:31:01.736 --> 00:31:02.696
showing his backside.

00:31:03.497 --> 00:31:04.939
I don't know what y'all are talking about.

00:31:04.959 --> 00:31:06.601
Y'all keep mentioning Santa.

00:31:07.221 --> 00:31:08.762
Apparently his Santa is

00:31:08.782 --> 00:31:10.084
portrayed by John Cena, I guess.

00:31:10.124 --> 00:31:10.704
John Santa!

00:31:13.968 --> 00:31:15.288
Oh, you guys, you guys,

00:31:15.388 --> 00:31:16.970
I did something I'm very proud of.

00:31:17.971 --> 00:31:19.612
At my last pro wrestling show,

00:31:19.872 --> 00:31:23.374
I heard a little kid out in the crowd go,

00:31:23.433 --> 00:31:25.096
I wonder if John Cena's going to be here.

00:31:26.256 --> 00:31:28.897
And we're just a little low.

00:31:28.938 --> 00:31:30.058
We can't afford John Cena.

00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:33.481
We're at our local wrestling

00:31:33.501 --> 00:31:35.002
show over in Gadsden, Alabama.

00:31:35.604 --> 00:31:36.605
Spartan Pro Wrestling.

00:31:36.744 --> 00:31:37.925
Look them up on the YouTubes.

00:31:38.326 --> 00:31:38.526
Yes.

00:31:38.846 --> 00:31:40.528
And come see us live in person.

00:31:40.567 --> 00:31:42.230
Anyway, different topic.

00:31:43.109 --> 00:31:46.153
So the kid said that, and I said,

00:31:46.173 --> 00:31:48.955
I'm the announcer,

00:31:49.076 --> 00:31:51.198
and I got on the mic and I said,

00:31:51.438 --> 00:31:54.019
I would like to let you guys know that

00:31:55.765 --> 00:31:58.228
John Cena is here tonight,

00:31:58.327 --> 00:32:00.730
but you can't see him.

00:32:02.173 --> 00:32:03.134
And I got...

00:32:04.223 --> 00:32:06.365
It was kind of mixed cheers

00:32:06.464 --> 00:32:07.846
and boos at the same time.

00:32:08.105 --> 00:32:11.186
It was like a valley, peaks and valleys.

00:32:12.227 --> 00:32:14.867
And I said, king of dad jokes.

00:32:15.368 --> 00:32:15.568
Yep.

00:32:15.648 --> 00:32:18.009
I mean, how can they disprove you, right?

00:32:18.049 --> 00:32:18.589
They can't.

00:32:19.130 --> 00:32:19.690
Exactly.

00:32:19.871 --> 00:32:20.711
And fun fact,

00:32:21.070 --> 00:32:22.692
John Cena follows us on Twitter.

00:32:23.011 --> 00:32:23.311
Yes.

00:32:23.432 --> 00:32:23.751
What?

00:32:23.932 --> 00:32:24.873
Yes, he does.

00:32:25.093 --> 00:32:27.114
He is a follower of the Bama Geeks.

00:32:27.314 --> 00:32:27.513
Yes.

00:32:27.554 --> 00:32:27.673
Yep.

00:32:28.374 --> 00:32:32.215
Absolutely wonderful.

00:32:32.336 --> 00:32:33.636
Dad jokes with Joe.

00:32:34.718 --> 00:32:35.778
I think that plays into him

00:32:35.837 --> 00:32:37.538
winning all the sci-fi track names.

00:32:38.059 --> 00:32:39.440
I think so.

00:32:41.080 --> 00:32:41.821
Welcome in, Deanna.

00:32:43.162 --> 00:32:43.502
Hold on.

00:32:43.863 --> 00:32:48.826
Is this the Miami Connection trailer?

00:32:50.026 --> 00:32:50.807
There it is.

00:32:50.886 --> 00:32:51.146
Boom.

00:32:53.407 --> 00:32:53.848
There it is.

00:32:53.969 --> 00:32:55.028
There you go.

00:32:56.913 --> 00:32:58.920
So Joe put the links in the, in the chat.

00:32:58.940 --> 00:32:59.701
So make sure y'all go check

00:32:59.721 --> 00:33:01.205
those out after the live stream.

00:33:01.626 --> 00:33:01.827
Yes.

00:33:02.542 --> 00:33:04.845
see what you're in for it at, uh,

00:33:04.984 --> 00:33:05.825
at the sleepover.

00:33:06.486 --> 00:33:06.905
So much.

00:33:07.646 --> 00:33:08.807
I understand there are other

00:33:08.847 --> 00:33:10.368
things going on at dragon con.

00:33:10.388 --> 00:33:11.169
There are a lot of cool

00:33:11.209 --> 00:33:12.329
celebrity guests this year.

00:33:12.390 --> 00:33:14.231
Like the, the full cast.

00:33:14.592 --> 00:33:15.792
I think most of the full

00:33:15.833 --> 00:33:18.114
cast of resident alien are

00:33:18.134 --> 00:33:18.714
going to be there.

00:33:19.375 --> 00:33:20.816
That show is hilarious.

00:33:21.096 --> 00:33:21.336
Yes.

00:33:22.076 --> 00:33:23.999
And a bunch of like more

00:33:24.098 --> 00:33:25.519
star Trek people than I've

00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:26.861
seen in forever, uh,

00:33:27.381 --> 00:33:29.382
like the cast of strange new worlds.

00:33:29.801 --> 00:33:30.102
Yes.

00:33:30.602 --> 00:33:31.482
And, uh,

00:33:31.583 --> 00:33:32.563
I think a couple of people from

00:33:32.603 --> 00:33:35.125
lower decks too, which is my favorite.

00:33:35.865 --> 00:33:36.085
Yeah.

00:33:36.244 --> 00:33:39.046
That show is, it's just chef's kiss.

00:33:40.707 --> 00:33:43.188
But we are, we have a cast photo,

00:33:43.268 --> 00:33:44.568
strange new worlds cast photo.

00:33:44.608 --> 00:33:46.169
We've been building on each

00:33:46.209 --> 00:33:47.490
year for the last two years

00:33:47.509 --> 00:33:48.250
with dragon con.

00:33:48.550 --> 00:33:49.631
We're going to finish it

00:33:49.971 --> 00:33:51.932
with the exception of Rebecca Romaine.

00:33:52.731 --> 00:33:53.472
Rebecca Romaine.

00:33:53.532 --> 00:33:56.213
So, you know, uh, get her eventually.

00:33:56.589 --> 00:33:57.109
Eventually.

00:33:57.211 --> 00:33:57.790
I hope so.

00:33:58.050 --> 00:33:58.351
Yes.

00:33:58.912 --> 00:33:59.451
I hope so.

00:33:59.571 --> 00:34:01.114
She is one I would have been

00:34:01.173 --> 00:34:02.355
dying to meet for years.

00:34:03.234 --> 00:34:04.797
She's got, she's got a lot of,

00:34:05.017 --> 00:34:06.198
we could get her for the X-Men.

00:34:06.258 --> 00:34:08.739
We could get her for librarians.

00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:09.621
Right.

00:34:09.661 --> 00:34:09.900
Yeah.

00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:10.460
She was in that.

00:34:10.780 --> 00:34:11.021
Yeah.

00:34:11.621 --> 00:34:12.603
We've got, she's got banks.

00:34:12.922 --> 00:34:14.605
We'll, we'll, we'll, we'll run her down.

00:34:16.045 --> 00:34:16.646
We'll find her.

00:34:18.967 --> 00:34:19.748
We will find you.

00:34:19.809 --> 00:34:21.590
We will get you to Dragon Con.

00:34:22.411 --> 00:34:22.851
And some of the

00:34:22.911 --> 00:34:23.972
anniversaries this year

00:34:24.012 --> 00:34:26.134
that we're doing panels about are, um,

00:34:27.940 --> 00:34:30.961
The Crow, interestingly enough,

00:34:31.262 --> 00:34:31.802
no relation.

00:34:34.625 --> 00:34:38.228
And The Shadow, which is, I don't know.

00:34:38.407 --> 00:34:40.489
The Taylor Dayne theme song

00:34:40.548 --> 00:34:41.750
to me is the best part.

00:34:44.115 --> 00:34:47.476
And then, of course, Saturday night at 7,

00:34:47.476 --> 00:34:48.657
we're doing the 40th

00:34:48.697 --> 00:34:50.137
anniversary of Ghostbusters.

00:34:50.177 --> 00:34:50.418
Yes.

00:34:50.737 --> 00:34:51.478
Yeah.

00:34:51.557 --> 00:34:52.237
I don't know if you guys

00:34:52.257 --> 00:34:52.938
have heard of them.

00:34:54.057 --> 00:34:55.298
I think so.

00:34:55.338 --> 00:34:55.778
Kind of.

00:34:55.818 --> 00:34:56.239
Sort of.

00:34:56.358 --> 00:34:56.599
Yeah.

00:34:58.338 --> 00:35:01.099
But you guys are going to

00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:03.041
show the movie right there

00:35:03.141 --> 00:35:04.981
in our track room for

00:35:05.380 --> 00:35:06.501
however many people we can

00:35:06.521 --> 00:35:07.242
squeeze in there.

00:35:07.621 --> 00:35:10.181
And I'm turning you all loose.

00:35:10.222 --> 00:35:11.842
Y'all can do games and

00:35:11.902 --> 00:35:13.163
contests and whatever.

00:35:13.856 --> 00:35:15.396
You know, you guys do you.

00:35:16.898 --> 00:35:18.358
Oh, that can be.

00:35:18.617 --> 00:35:19.338
That's dangerous.

00:35:19.358 --> 00:35:20.018
That's dangerous.

00:35:20.179 --> 00:35:21.958
But I am going to donate something,

00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:24.679
first of all, to the,

00:35:24.699 --> 00:35:25.780
before your panel starts,

00:35:25.860 --> 00:35:27.440
for auctioning it off for

00:35:27.481 --> 00:35:29.101
charity or whatever you would like.

00:35:29.961 --> 00:35:32.041
Custom Ghostbusters necktie.

00:35:32.601 --> 00:35:33.503
Look at that, y'all.

00:35:33.762 --> 00:35:33.922
Yep.

00:35:34.623 --> 00:35:37.543
That is officially Joe Crow

00:35:38.083 --> 00:35:39.804
worn apparel that's going

00:35:39.885 --> 00:35:41.045
up for auction today.

00:35:42.498 --> 00:35:43.239
Didn't you say you're going

00:35:43.259 --> 00:35:43.898
to wear it at your next

00:35:43.938 --> 00:35:44.659
wrestling promotion?

00:35:44.900 --> 00:35:45.519
I am, yes.

00:35:47.860 --> 00:35:49.141
So it will have been ring

00:35:49.221 --> 00:35:50.320
worn at that point.

00:35:50.501 --> 00:35:52.541
And perhaps a bad guy may

00:35:52.581 --> 00:35:53.501
have grabbed the tie and

00:35:53.561 --> 00:35:54.601
wiped his sweat with it.

00:35:55.483 --> 00:35:55.782
Hey,

00:35:56.523 --> 00:35:58.182
look at this bonus stuff you're getting.

00:35:58.702 --> 00:36:00.284
As I say, look, we have a lot of bonuses.

00:36:00.744 --> 00:36:01.123
No study.

00:36:01.164 --> 00:36:02.384
No study, exactly.

00:36:02.885 --> 00:36:04.344
Hey, no study.

00:36:06.768 --> 00:36:10.851
Chase is already in the lead.

00:36:10.911 --> 00:36:12.032
There's your opening bid.

00:36:14.634 --> 00:36:17.335
Yeah, so that's happened.

00:36:17.735 --> 00:36:21.478
In addition to the Ghostbusters necktie,

00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:24.681
every year for charity,

00:36:24.862 --> 00:36:28.123
in addition to escaping

00:36:28.224 --> 00:36:29.925
from the lock-in movie,

00:36:30.985 --> 00:36:33.047
we do a panel called Roll-A-Panel.

00:36:33.809 --> 00:36:35.351
And we have a cool guy.

00:36:35.371 --> 00:36:36.572
His name is Joe Kaczynski.

00:36:36.731 --> 00:36:38.034
And he is a,

00:36:39.175 --> 00:36:42.038
I believe he is a Ghostbuster in Indiana,

00:36:42.217 --> 00:36:42.538
maybe.

00:36:43.418 --> 00:36:43.659
Okay.

00:36:43.818 --> 00:36:47.262
But he is part of their group up there.

00:36:47.503 --> 00:36:52.367
And he... Indiana bids 50

00:36:52.367 --> 00:36:53.188
bucks for Joe to keep it.

00:36:57.135 --> 00:36:58.996
But anyway,

00:36:59.077 --> 00:37:03.478
he makes customized 20-sided die.

00:37:03.538 --> 00:37:04.358
They're giant.

00:37:04.858 --> 00:37:07.119
And do I have one?

00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:08.860
I don't have one at hand.

00:37:09.300 --> 00:37:09.820
Anyway.

00:37:10.260 --> 00:37:11.539
It's such an eye-catching

00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:12.141
thing because it's one of

00:37:12.161 --> 00:37:13.201
the first things I look for

00:37:13.260 --> 00:37:14.621
every time I go into the panel room.

00:37:14.661 --> 00:37:15.842
I always look for that die.

00:37:16.262 --> 00:37:17.181
It's like that.

00:37:18.041 --> 00:37:19.563
It's about that same size, too.

00:37:20.976 --> 00:37:23.556
What we do is we get a group of movies.

00:37:23.556 --> 00:37:25.958
$50 Canadian, so that's like $28.50,

00:37:25.958 --> 00:37:26.099
I think.

00:37:26.139 --> 00:37:26.318
I still...

00:37:35.713 --> 00:37:37.094
So every year we pick a,

00:37:37.355 --> 00:37:38.655
whatever anniversary year

00:37:38.695 --> 00:37:40.797
we're covering and we'll do a,

00:37:41.018 --> 00:37:42.139
a roll a panel on the

00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:43.581
movies from that year that

00:37:43.621 --> 00:37:45.802
we did not have time to do

00:37:46.023 --> 00:37:48.505
full panels on this year.

00:37:48.626 --> 00:37:52.628
It's 1984, which covers a ton.

00:37:52.989 --> 00:37:53.769
Yes.

00:37:54.050 --> 00:37:54.391
Yes.

00:37:54.751 --> 00:37:56.112
And then we're going to auction off that,

00:37:56.293 --> 00:37:57.934
that 20 sided die.

00:37:58.135 --> 00:37:59.456
And I believe it's,

00:38:00.235 --> 00:38:03.898
I don't want to guarantee this.

00:38:03.918 --> 00:38:05.239
I think it's happening.

00:38:06.501 --> 00:38:07.762
I'll let it be a surprise if

00:38:07.822 --> 00:38:08.541
it actually happens,

00:38:08.581 --> 00:38:10.003
but I'm going to go and spoil it anyway.

00:38:10.764 --> 00:38:14.306
We are doing a custom

00:38:14.907 --> 00:38:18.789
Ghostbusters 20-sided die.

00:38:19.050 --> 00:38:20.311
Scenes and characters from

00:38:20.351 --> 00:38:21.152
the first movie.

00:38:23.373 --> 00:38:26.255
I think it's going to look super great.

00:38:27.315 --> 00:38:28.297
Y'all are going to dig it.

00:38:29.141 --> 00:38:29.380
All right.

00:38:29.420 --> 00:38:30.681
So just go ahead and take

00:38:30.722 --> 00:38:31.322
some of the money that

00:38:31.362 --> 00:38:33.664
we've got set aside for autographs and,

00:38:33.864 --> 00:38:34.864
and reserve it for this.

00:38:35.065 --> 00:38:36.306
I want to bid on this.

00:38:36.507 --> 00:38:38.288
Yeah, most definitely.

00:38:39.009 --> 00:38:39.929
Yes, absolutely.

00:38:41.190 --> 00:38:42.490
Y'all can bid on me to keep it too.

00:38:42.811 --> 00:38:43.452
Take it home.

00:38:47.967 --> 00:38:52.829
We'll roll you for it.

00:38:52.869 --> 00:38:53.809
Guys, so much fun.

00:38:53.829 --> 00:38:56.530
I love getting together with Ev.

00:38:57.150 --> 00:38:58.592
This is the thing about DragonCon,

00:38:58.632 --> 00:38:59.972
and you guys have talked about it.

00:39:00.132 --> 00:39:02.074
It's found family.

00:39:03.594 --> 00:39:05.576
It's a community that you...

00:39:06.795 --> 00:39:08.097
in the olden times you could

00:39:08.137 --> 00:39:09.237
only see them once a year

00:39:09.378 --> 00:39:11.179
probably but now with the

00:39:11.278 --> 00:39:13.740
interwebs you know you can

00:39:13.820 --> 00:39:14.882
connect with people like

00:39:14.902 --> 00:39:15.902
we're doing right now you

00:39:15.943 --> 00:39:17.264
can connect with them all

00:39:18.123 --> 00:39:20.385
year round and that's what

00:39:20.425 --> 00:39:21.867
I love about doing live

00:39:21.907 --> 00:39:23.148
video panels and what I

00:39:23.188 --> 00:39:24.688
love about dragon con and

00:39:25.577 --> 00:39:25.918
You know,

00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:29.981
community is what pulls big old

00:39:30.021 --> 00:39:30.822
nerds together.

00:39:31.242 --> 00:39:35.644
And we, a lot of us, me included,

00:39:35.766 --> 00:39:37.186
did not have that when we

00:39:37.266 --> 00:39:39.909
were in high school, maybe.

00:39:40.608 --> 00:39:42.831
I had like legit two nerd

00:39:42.891 --> 00:39:44.672
friends in high school.

00:39:45.233 --> 00:39:46.893
And they're still my buds today.

00:39:47.574 --> 00:39:48.635
But that was all.

00:39:49.376 --> 00:39:50.597
And now I've got...

00:39:51.536 --> 00:39:53.117
a few more, a handful more,

00:39:53.336 --> 00:39:55.378
more buddies that I do nerd stuff with.

00:39:57.900 --> 00:40:02.382
And they, it's, it's just the best thing.

00:40:02.521 --> 00:40:03.382
Dragon Con is,

00:40:04.202 --> 00:40:05.583
is where you can get

00:40:05.623 --> 00:40:07.485
together and find people, find a,

00:40:08.284 --> 00:40:10.447
a clutch, a gaggle, if you will,

00:40:10.847 --> 00:40:12.387
of fellow nerds and geeks.

00:40:12.867 --> 00:40:13.108
Yeah.

00:40:13.809 --> 00:40:14.028
Yeah.

00:40:14.088 --> 00:40:14.349
You,

00:40:14.489 --> 00:40:16.010
you hit the nail right on the head

00:40:16.030 --> 00:40:16.949
with that for sure.

00:40:16.969 --> 00:40:17.210
Yeah.

00:40:17.851 --> 00:40:18.010
Yeah.

00:40:19.202 --> 00:40:19.382
Well,

00:40:19.443 --> 00:40:22.184
some of us meet their future husbands

00:40:22.704 --> 00:40:24.764
and wives at DragonCon.

00:40:24.903 --> 00:40:26.063
That does happen, yes.

00:40:26.103 --> 00:40:28.204
Sometimes people meet,

00:40:28.264 --> 00:40:29.925
then a couple of years after that,

00:40:29.985 --> 00:40:32.905
sometimes they get engaged at DragonCon.

00:40:32.965 --> 00:40:34.746
So, you know, those things do happen.

00:40:35.126 --> 00:40:36.346
I'm told it happens.

00:40:37.405 --> 00:40:38.726
The only thing is we didn't

00:40:38.766 --> 00:40:41.746
get married at DragonCon.

00:40:41.766 --> 00:40:43.228
Oh.

00:40:43.248 --> 00:40:44.407
So I have a story about that.

00:40:44.427 --> 00:40:44.927
Okay.

00:40:45.853 --> 00:40:46.594
this was years ago,

00:40:46.954 --> 00:40:49.315
like maybe like turn of the

00:40:49.356 --> 00:40:54.458
century at the masquerade,

00:40:55.318 --> 00:40:56.699
which happens either.

00:40:56.820 --> 00:40:57.621
I think Sunday night,

00:40:59.322 --> 00:41:01.043
but the big costume contest,

00:41:01.103 --> 00:41:03.503
dragon con every year, tons of people,

00:41:04.704 --> 00:41:08.567
a lady did a cat woman cosplay and,

00:41:09.355 --> 00:41:11.056
like Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman.

00:41:11.436 --> 00:41:11.556
Oh.

00:41:12.637 --> 00:41:14.577
And it was good.

00:41:14.898 --> 00:41:16.557
And she was cracking the

00:41:16.597 --> 00:41:18.079
whip and doing the thing.

00:41:18.378 --> 00:41:22.320
And a dude comes out and

00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:24.822
proposes to her on the stage.

00:41:26.643 --> 00:41:28.983
And she says, yes, it's very sweet.

00:41:30.025 --> 00:41:30.824
Good luck to him.

00:41:30.844 --> 00:41:32.826
24 years later, maybe.

00:41:34.686 --> 00:41:36.086
Let me ask you guys this.

00:41:36.588 --> 00:41:37.307
Do you think

00:41:38.751 --> 00:41:40.574
He was dressed in a Batman costume.

00:41:43.356 --> 00:41:44.177
I'm going to say no.

00:41:44.356 --> 00:41:44.536
Yeah.

00:41:44.556 --> 00:41:44.976
For effect.

00:41:45.036 --> 00:41:45.637
I'm saying no.

00:41:45.757 --> 00:41:47.298
Cause it would be the obvious for me.

00:41:47.338 --> 00:41:47.739
Batman.

00:41:47.940 --> 00:41:49.221
Was he dressed like cat woman too?

00:41:53.123 --> 00:41:58.027
He was dressed as just a, a, a,

00:41:58.768 --> 00:42:00.610
like a medieval peasant.

00:42:01.710 --> 00:42:02.070
Okay.

00:42:03.231 --> 00:42:04.612
Look, if you know,

00:42:04.672 --> 00:42:06.454
your future fiance is

00:42:06.554 --> 00:42:07.576
dressed as cat woman.

00:42:09.478 --> 00:42:12.599
It's pretty easy to decide

00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:14.599
what to wear in public,

00:42:15.340 --> 00:42:17.481
unless perhaps the Catwoman

00:42:17.521 --> 00:42:19.161
did not know you were going to propose.

00:42:19.521 --> 00:42:19.762
Yeah.

00:42:20.362 --> 00:42:21.623
But because I got to say,

00:42:21.702 --> 00:42:24.103
if I'm I've never been Catwoman.

00:42:26.543 --> 00:42:27.784
I just can't understand why.

00:42:28.425 --> 00:42:28.625
Yeah.

00:42:28.945 --> 00:42:31.465
If I can get in the Catwoman frame of mind,

00:42:31.485 --> 00:42:33.007
I'm going to be proposed to.

00:42:33.027 --> 00:42:33.106
Yeah.

00:42:33.567 --> 00:42:33.726
Yeah.

00:42:37.128 --> 00:42:38.748
I wanted to be a guy dressed as Batman,

00:42:38.768 --> 00:42:39.369
for goodness sake.

00:42:40.130 --> 00:42:40.710
Or you know what?

00:42:40.750 --> 00:42:41.871
You could be like me.

00:42:42.030 --> 00:42:42.311
One year,

00:42:42.371 --> 00:42:43.391
I'm just sitting there minding my

00:42:43.431 --> 00:42:44.891
business and I'm inebriated.

00:42:44.972 --> 00:42:46.213
Elsa thought I was her husband.

00:42:46.293 --> 00:42:46.733
Yeah.

00:42:47.172 --> 00:42:47.653
Drunk Elsa.

00:42:47.813 --> 00:42:51.775
I dressed like Hades from Hercules.

00:42:52.175 --> 00:42:53.615
I was in my button-down

00:42:53.637 --> 00:42:55.436
Ghostbuster t-shirt hanging out there.

00:42:55.697 --> 00:42:56.077
But hey.

00:42:57.425 --> 00:42:58.646
You never know.

00:42:58.967 --> 00:42:59.967
You could be confused for

00:43:00.007 --> 00:43:00.807
someone's husband.

00:43:01.728 --> 00:43:02.628
We talked about that on a

00:43:02.949 --> 00:43:03.949
previous episode.

00:43:04.009 --> 00:43:04.789
If you go back and look

00:43:04.809 --> 00:43:06.929
through our past episodes on here,

00:43:07.150 --> 00:43:08.351
you will see the thumbnail

00:43:08.990 --> 00:43:11.231
of drunk Elsa chatting with Beau.

00:43:14.681 --> 00:43:15.063
Awesome.

00:43:15.543 --> 00:43:17.565
We're all a cat woman in our hearts.

00:43:18.525 --> 00:43:18.726
Joe,

00:43:18.766 --> 00:43:20.148
I would have to say I think you're

00:43:20.168 --> 00:43:22.530
more Julie Newmar than Michelle Pfeiffer.

00:43:22.630 --> 00:43:23.371
Thank you.

00:43:23.391 --> 00:43:23.952
Classic.

00:43:26.414 --> 00:43:27.556
She's a classy lady.

00:43:27.576 --> 00:43:28.376
She is.

00:43:29.807 --> 00:43:29.987
Uh,

00:43:30.088 --> 00:43:31.748
Chase says Dragon Con is why I got a

00:43:31.809 --> 00:43:32.750
job at Troma,

00:43:32.809 --> 00:43:34.349
which is how I got into TV

00:43:34.389 --> 00:43:35.291
news for 20 years.

00:43:35.451 --> 00:43:36.291
But more than that,

00:43:36.751 --> 00:43:38.231
I've met the best friends I've ever had.

00:43:38.271 --> 00:43:40.373
And that absolutely is a family reunion,

00:43:40.514 --> 00:43:41.693
except I like them.

00:43:44.755 --> 00:43:46.777
And that's, that means a lot right there.

00:43:46.797 --> 00:43:50.099
That's a strong difference there.

00:43:50.398 --> 00:43:51.219
Chase is definitely,

00:43:51.759 --> 00:43:53.079
I met him at Dragon Con and

00:43:53.960 --> 00:43:56.262
I guess 09 and he's one of

00:43:56.302 --> 00:43:57.461
my favorite people of all time.

00:43:57.943 --> 00:43:58.503
Love Chase.

00:43:59.961 --> 00:44:03.224
I look forward to every year

00:44:03.664 --> 00:44:04.485
Spending a lot of time

00:44:04.505 --> 00:44:05.547
sitting in a hotel floor

00:44:05.586 --> 00:44:06.668
With people I only see in

00:44:06.688 --> 00:44:08.909
person once a year It's

00:44:09.010 --> 00:44:11.050
like Beyond the program

00:44:11.070 --> 00:44:12.512
We'll gush about it as

00:44:12.592 --> 00:44:15.715
always It's There's people

00:44:15.755 --> 00:44:17.536
I've known my whole life I love them,

00:44:17.556 --> 00:44:19.097
still care for them But the

00:44:19.137 --> 00:44:20.039
core group that I really

00:44:20.179 --> 00:44:21.099
like to see every year Is

00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:22.400
Labor Day weekend That's

00:44:25.063 --> 00:44:25.983

Yeah, they know at work.

00:44:31.307 --> 00:44:32.527
They know at work every year

00:44:32.608 --> 00:44:33.688
that this is where I'm going to be.

00:44:34.427 --> 00:44:36.608
And this is what Labor Day

00:44:36.949 --> 00:44:38.130
weekend means to me now.

00:44:39.570 --> 00:44:40.829
So, yeah.

00:44:42.650 --> 00:44:43.931
So outside of the times that

00:44:44.010 --> 00:44:46.351
you have told us about in

00:44:47.012 --> 00:44:48.793
the American Sci-Fi Classics room,

00:44:49.032 --> 00:44:52.173
what else is going on like

00:44:52.373 --> 00:44:52.994
the rest of the time?

00:44:53.793 --> 00:44:54.534
Oh, gosh.

00:44:56.534 --> 00:44:57.576
I'll hit the highlights.

00:44:58.076 --> 00:44:58.775
Let's see here.

00:44:59.632 --> 00:45:01.094
There's usually somebody always in there,

00:45:01.173 --> 00:45:01.574
though, right?

00:45:02.114 --> 00:45:02.713
Namely you.

00:45:03.313 --> 00:45:03.894
Oh, my God.

00:45:03.934 --> 00:45:04.715
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:45:04.755 --> 00:45:08.076
You're Gary.

00:45:08.215 --> 00:45:10.237
Our friend Gary, yeah.

00:45:11.237 --> 00:45:12.438
One of the two of us is

00:45:13.518 --> 00:45:14.818
always running through there.

00:45:15.278 --> 00:45:19.161
We are doing a live reading

00:45:19.820 --> 00:45:21.641
of a Choose Your Own Adventure book.

00:45:22.527 --> 00:45:23.188
Ooh.

00:45:23.547 --> 00:45:24.789
One of those old books from

00:45:25.409 --> 00:45:26.690
the 70s and 80s where you

00:45:26.710 --> 00:45:27.530
would- I still have that.

00:45:28.150 --> 00:45:29.731
If you turn to page 37,

00:45:29.731 --> 00:45:31.612
you might get killed by an orc, you know?

00:45:31.632 --> 00:45:31.793
Mm-hmm.

00:45:31.813 --> 00:45:32.393
Yeah.

00:45:32.934 --> 00:45:34.074
And the audience gets to

00:45:34.134 --> 00:45:36.876
choose which page we turn to.

00:45:38.177 --> 00:45:38.637
Fun.

00:45:39.056 --> 00:45:39.918
Oh, that's great.

00:45:40.157 --> 00:45:41.778
That's happening Sunday afternoon.

00:45:42.179 --> 00:45:43.579
And in fact,

00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:45.101
that's like two panels before

00:45:45.201 --> 00:45:45.842
the table read.

00:45:46.141 --> 00:45:46.282
Mm-hmm.

00:45:48.523 --> 00:45:52.007
And then Sunday night, we are doing a,

00:45:52.027 --> 00:45:53.268
one of our frequent

00:45:53.327 --> 00:45:55.990
panelists is Daniel Griffith, who does,

00:45:56.751 --> 00:46:00.054
he works with Shout Factory and does,

00:46:00.934 --> 00:46:04.757
he puts together DVD features,

00:46:05.139 --> 00:46:06.659
like documentaries and stuff.

00:46:07.561 --> 00:46:08.822
And he did,

00:46:09.762 --> 00:46:11.704
he produced a documentary about

00:46:11.804 --> 00:46:12.844
the 1984 Dune movie.

00:46:15.980 --> 00:46:18.422
And that's an anniversary year for that.

00:46:18.541 --> 00:46:19.661
So he is going to show this

00:46:19.702 --> 00:46:22.603
documentary on Sunday night

00:46:23.824 --> 00:46:27.666
about the 1984 Dune,

00:46:28.565 --> 00:46:31.206
which is relatively topical, except,

00:46:31.588 --> 00:46:31.927
you know,

00:46:31.967 --> 00:46:33.568
there's no Timothee Chalamet in

00:46:33.588 --> 00:46:33.969
the 1984 one.

00:46:33.989 --> 00:46:34.188
Yeah.

00:46:34.329 --> 00:46:38.490
Or Batista, but handsome people anyway.

00:46:39.847 --> 00:46:40.286
Sting!

00:46:40.306 --> 00:46:41.809
Sting is in the... Yeah.

00:46:42.289 --> 00:46:43.670
And not that Sting.

00:46:43.710 --> 00:46:44.311
Not the wrestler.

00:46:48.375 --> 00:46:49.255
Oh, that would be great.

00:46:49.615 --> 00:46:49.876
Look.

00:46:50.856 --> 00:46:51.958
I assume they're friends.

00:46:52.358 --> 00:46:55.322
I assume there's... You share a name.

00:46:55.362 --> 00:46:55.981
You have to be.

00:46:57.463 --> 00:46:59.405
I know, and I may be mistaken,

00:46:59.465 --> 00:47:01.547
I know years ago in some...

00:47:02.751 --> 00:47:04.512
wrestling magazine that

00:47:04.592 --> 00:47:07.393
there was a photo where um

00:47:07.673 --> 00:47:08.775
sting and sting were

00:47:08.815 --> 00:47:10.757
together and and the

00:47:10.817 --> 00:47:12.818
musician staying had face

00:47:12.858 --> 00:47:14.139
paint and the other sting

00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:16.581
was playing drums I i think

00:47:16.661 --> 00:47:18.322
that is a real thing that

00:47:18.362 --> 00:47:21.324
happened it could be maybe

00:47:21.344 --> 00:47:22.465
I'm making it up completely

00:47:22.824 --> 00:47:23.945
I don't think I am though

00:47:27.759 --> 00:47:29.400
And no, no, go ahead.

00:47:29.420 --> 00:47:30.541
What are, what are you guys?

00:47:30.762 --> 00:47:31.041
Okay.

00:47:31.262 --> 00:47:32.324
Obviously they,

00:47:33.324 --> 00:47:34.726
you guys got Ghostbusters stuff,

00:47:34.786 --> 00:47:36.807
PKE surge going on the whole weekend.

00:47:37.728 --> 00:47:37.949
What,

00:47:38.050 --> 00:47:39.291
what else are y'all going to be doing?

00:47:40.148 --> 00:47:40.507
That's it.

00:47:41.009 --> 00:47:41.369
Yeah.

00:47:41.449 --> 00:47:43.231
That's it.

00:47:44.072 --> 00:47:45.373
Only the only celebrity.

00:47:45.393 --> 00:47:46.434
I mean, I got, I got the star,

00:47:46.514 --> 00:47:47.355
the star Trek folks.

00:47:47.416 --> 00:47:48.817
I want the, the, my,

00:47:48.916 --> 00:47:51.199
my main celebrity is I want Danny Trejo.

00:47:51.260 --> 00:47:52.601
I need his autograph on something.

00:47:53.282 --> 00:47:53.722
Absolutely.

00:47:53.742 --> 00:47:55.824
I have a, I bring it on.

00:47:55.844 --> 00:47:56.144
I brought up,

00:47:56.164 --> 00:47:57.485
I have a picture a couple of years ago.

00:47:57.545 --> 00:47:58.286
Call of duty did a,

00:47:58.746 --> 00:48:00.168
like a zombies map that had,

00:48:00.248 --> 00:48:01.228
it was like a tribute to

00:48:01.248 --> 00:48:02.449
like all those actors or whatever.

00:48:02.809 --> 00:48:03.889
And it was a, uh, it was,

00:48:04.090 --> 00:48:04.969
it's called call the dead,

00:48:04.989 --> 00:48:05.550
but it was a tribute to

00:48:05.570 --> 00:48:06.610
like a Romero movie.

00:48:06.630 --> 00:48:08.831
And they had, they had, uh, of course it's,

00:48:09.032 --> 00:48:09.112
uh,

00:48:09.152 --> 00:48:10.393
George Romero was like a monster

00:48:10.432 --> 00:48:11.932
himself in it, but you had George Romero,

00:48:11.972 --> 00:48:12.813
the picture I've got,

00:48:13.153 --> 00:48:14.954
it's currently signed by George Romero.

00:48:15.715 --> 00:48:18.175
Um, Oh, uh, Michael Rooker,

00:48:18.757 --> 00:48:19.336
Robert England,

00:48:19.655 --> 00:48:21.077
And then Danny Trejo there

00:48:21.237 --> 00:48:22.577
after Danny Trejo, I'll have one,

00:48:22.818 --> 00:48:23.559
one left to go,

00:48:23.579 --> 00:48:24.579
which would be Sarah Michelle Gellar.

00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:25.719
So I need dragon con to get

00:48:25.739 --> 00:48:26.561
her eventually too.

00:48:26.661 --> 00:48:28.601
But Danny Trejo is the one

00:48:28.802 --> 00:48:29.922
that is my must get

00:48:30.003 --> 00:48:30.742
autographed in person.

00:48:30.782 --> 00:48:31.344
I meet this year.

00:48:32.909 --> 00:48:34.311
But I mean, Machete,

00:48:34.351 --> 00:48:38.072
how do you not Machete don't text, Bo.

00:48:38.273 --> 00:48:38.974
Exactly.

00:48:40.655 --> 00:48:42.896
For goodness sake.

00:48:43.056 --> 00:48:44.876
If Dragon Con does not get

00:48:44.936 --> 00:48:45.818
Sarah Michelle Gellar,

00:48:45.858 --> 00:48:47.199
she does the occasional

00:48:47.298 --> 00:48:48.320
private signing because I

00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:49.559
was able to get I'm just

00:48:49.579 --> 00:48:51.081
nervous about mailing my stuff off.

00:48:51.141 --> 00:48:51.641
That's just me.

00:48:51.702 --> 00:48:53.463
And I also like the being in person thing.

00:48:53.503 --> 00:48:54.083
That's just me.

00:48:54.342 --> 00:48:58.306
She says Joe Crow is the jam.

00:49:01.851 --> 00:49:03.291
only nicer and without the

00:49:03.331 --> 00:49:05.032
tennis racket I can get a

00:49:05.072 --> 00:49:08.335
tennis racket yeah and

00:49:08.414 --> 00:49:11.016
Roberto yeah that's why

00:49:11.036 --> 00:49:11.737
we're not popping your

00:49:11.777 --> 00:49:12.978
comments on screen right

00:49:13.038 --> 00:49:14.079
now is because you are

00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:15.259
quite a few minutes behind

00:49:15.278 --> 00:49:16.179
the conversation either

00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:17.581
refresh in your browser or

00:49:17.641 --> 00:49:18.240

00:49:22.123 --> 00:49:23.943
live button on there and

00:49:24.344 --> 00:49:25.804
catch up I'd love to

00:49:25.826 --> 00:49:26.806
include your comments but

00:49:28.126 --> 00:49:29.887
and keep in mind that

00:49:30.967 --> 00:49:32.608
The signals coming from you

00:49:32.909 --> 00:49:34.570
have to go to space first.

00:49:35.030 --> 00:49:40.835
That's right, Mr. Roboto.

00:49:41.215 --> 00:49:43.817
As far as, I mean, we're good.

00:49:43.856 --> 00:49:45.117
We do the Dragon Con.

00:49:45.137 --> 00:49:46.018
We're going to do wrestling,

00:49:46.039 --> 00:49:47.400
attend the wrestling show

00:49:47.460 --> 00:49:48.501
on Thursday night.

00:49:49.021 --> 00:49:50.762
And Rikishi is coming to Dragon Con,

00:49:50.782 --> 00:49:52.744
which I'm super excited about.

00:49:54.085 --> 00:49:54.726
No stink face.

00:49:54.965 --> 00:49:56.146
Yeah, no stink face though.

00:49:56.166 --> 00:49:56.427
So that...

00:50:00.369 --> 00:50:00.849
Thursday night.

00:50:00.869 --> 00:50:01.670
I can make it happen.

00:50:02.030 --> 00:50:03.992
I think I can make it happen.

00:50:04.192 --> 00:50:08.733
We're good.

00:50:08.813 --> 00:50:12.476
Joe Crow, the science bro.

00:50:13.257 --> 00:50:14.336
If she only knew what my

00:50:14.376 --> 00:50:15.797
grades in science were in school.

00:50:18.940 --> 00:50:21.840
No, I am excited to meet Rikishi.

00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:23.101
I don't know.

00:50:24.858 --> 00:50:26.358
How to make this work?

00:50:26.818 --> 00:50:28.481
I want to get him.

00:50:29.201 --> 00:50:31.181
I will pay him Canadian money.

00:50:31.202 --> 00:50:32.943
I will pay him Deanna's

00:50:32.963 --> 00:50:35.525
Canadian money to get him

00:50:35.545 --> 00:50:36.786
to do a promo for my little

00:50:36.826 --> 00:50:37.567
wrestling company.

00:50:37.666 --> 00:50:41.429
I think that would be sweet.

00:50:41.610 --> 00:50:42.630
He's got his own little

00:50:42.670 --> 00:50:43.710
wrestling school out there.

00:50:44.311 --> 00:50:45.632
I'm just saying,

00:50:46.253 --> 00:50:47.193
you could maybe ask him to

00:50:47.233 --> 00:50:47.893
do it for The Rock.

00:50:47.914 --> 00:50:48.655
That seems to work.

00:50:49.414 --> 00:50:50.715
Do it for The Rock, yeah.

00:50:51.036 --> 00:50:52.237
Or do it for the people, you know.

00:50:52.597 --> 00:50:52.918
Yeah.

00:50:55.498 --> 00:50:58.398
We got Tara Strong to do our intro,

00:50:58.539 --> 00:50:59.798
so surely you can.

00:51:01.099 --> 00:51:02.760
That would be super cool.

00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:03.161
In fact,

00:51:03.501 --> 00:51:07.943
Spartan Wrestling is running the

00:51:08.182 --> 00:51:09.483
weekend that I'm at DragonCon.

00:51:09.523 --> 00:51:09.724
I'm like,

00:51:09.784 --> 00:51:13.445
you guys know what I do that week.

00:51:13.545 --> 00:51:14.766
You're the general manager.

00:51:15.827 --> 00:51:16.686
You know what I'm going to do?

00:51:16.907 --> 00:51:20.329
There's a wrestling... Oh, Deanna.

00:51:22.188 --> 00:51:23.269
I've got an idea for you.

00:51:23.690 --> 00:51:24.050
Oh boy.

00:51:24.451 --> 00:51:25.971
But there is a wrestling

00:51:26.070 --> 00:51:27.351
cosplay group and I think

00:51:27.391 --> 00:51:28.932

00:51:29.273 --> 00:51:29.452
Yeah.

00:51:29.472 --> 00:51:31.594
So you can't, if I can't find Rikishi,

00:51:32.574 --> 00:51:34.596
I am going to, Oh, there you go.

00:51:34.715 --> 00:51:35.335
Thank you.

00:51:35.677 --> 00:51:37.137
He would, it'd be perfect.

00:51:37.378 --> 00:51:37.637
Yeah.

00:51:37.797 --> 00:51:38.137
Chase said,

00:51:38.177 --> 00:51:40.159
I'll do a promo for you in my

00:51:40.259 --> 00:51:42.239
big boss man cosplay for free.

00:51:42.681 --> 00:51:43.940
That's a bargain.

00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:45.902
I am so in Chase.

00:51:46.021 --> 00:51:47.143
This is happening.

00:51:47.483 --> 00:51:48.003
Yeah.

00:51:51.085 --> 00:51:53.469
I think I got plans already.

00:51:54.431 --> 00:51:55.311
This is all working out.

00:51:56.755 --> 00:51:58.157
I'm not going to be running

00:51:58.297 --> 00:52:01.903
crazy for 24 hours a day at all.

00:52:02.565 --> 00:52:03.126
Not true.

00:52:03.346 --> 00:52:04.407
I'm totally going to be doing that.

00:52:06.677 --> 00:52:10.400
So you say it's a, I, I get, um,

00:52:11.099 --> 00:52:12.260
I get a few hours sleep.

00:52:12.661 --> 00:52:12.920
Yeah.

00:52:13.740 --> 00:52:14.521
Don't we all though?

00:52:14.541 --> 00:52:16.001
I mean, you really don't,

00:52:16.181 --> 00:52:17.842
you don't sleep at dragon con either.

00:52:17.963 --> 00:52:18.163
Yeah.

00:52:18.463 --> 00:52:18.704
Yeah.

00:52:19.224 --> 00:52:20.043
Well, I do.

00:52:20.284 --> 00:52:20.945
You recharge.

00:52:20.985 --> 00:52:21.545
You're awesome.

00:52:22.465 --> 00:52:22.826
Yeah.

00:52:23.905 --> 00:52:26.387
I'm so awesome that I don't need sleep.

00:52:27.827 --> 00:52:30.449
Uh, no, I, I just, I run on caffeine and,

00:52:31.190 --> 00:52:31.250
um,

00:52:33.706 --> 00:52:35.467
Anarchy the whole time.

00:52:35.507 --> 00:52:36.047
Adrenaline.

00:52:36.306 --> 00:52:37.367
Yeah, adrenaline.

00:52:37.768 --> 00:52:38.487
Like I say, yeah,

00:52:38.527 --> 00:52:39.728
we need to install a Jax

00:52:39.768 --> 00:52:41.068
where all the older folks

00:52:41.088 --> 00:52:41.748
could be in the table

00:52:41.789 --> 00:52:43.010
drinking coffee to recharge

00:52:43.050 --> 00:52:44.489
there for the next session.

00:52:46.630 --> 00:52:46.891
Yeah.

00:52:46.990 --> 00:52:49.311
But it's, you know,

00:52:49.873 --> 00:52:51.853
I think of it as performing, you know,

00:52:52.054 --> 00:52:53.494
and I'm basically doing

00:52:53.634 --> 00:52:55.275
improv for five days in a row.

00:52:56.547 --> 00:52:57.349
All the time.

00:52:58.809 --> 00:53:00.230
Oh, there's my buddy, Joe.

00:53:00.309 --> 00:53:01.210
Oh, there's Joe.

00:53:01.891 --> 00:53:03.092
Sorry I'm late to the chat.

00:53:03.132 --> 00:53:04.592
I was working on the Ghostbusters chat.

00:53:04.652 --> 00:53:06.873
I'm the membership liaison

00:53:07.074 --> 00:53:08.355
of Ghostbusters Virginia.

00:53:08.474 --> 00:53:08.795
Yeah.

00:53:09.695 --> 00:53:10.856
501c3 registered charity

00:53:10.916 --> 00:53:12.237

00:53:12.478 --> 00:53:13.038
Absolutely.

00:53:13.938 --> 00:53:14.918
Joe, in case you don't know us,

00:53:14.978 --> 00:53:16.920
we're with the Alabama Ghostbusters.

00:53:17.340 --> 00:53:17.641
Awesome.

00:53:18.221 --> 00:53:18.862
Good to see you, man.

00:53:19.222 --> 00:53:20.001
Thanks for stopping by.

00:53:20.342 --> 00:53:21.302
That's our D20 guy.

00:53:21.802 --> 00:53:23.384
Very nice.

00:53:23.945 --> 00:53:24.324
Very fun.

00:53:25.643 --> 00:53:28.445
American sci-fi classics

00:53:28.485 --> 00:53:29.525
track and Bama Geeks just

00:53:29.565 --> 00:53:30.246
bringing people together.

00:53:30.686 --> 00:53:31.126
That's right.

00:53:31.467 --> 00:53:32.646
Hey, that's what we do.

00:53:33.788 --> 00:53:34.648
And let's say while we got

00:53:34.668 --> 00:53:35.548
our Ghostbuster people here,

00:53:35.588 --> 00:53:36.128
we'd be remiss.

00:53:36.148 --> 00:53:37.250
Do we want to kind of get a

00:53:37.309 --> 00:53:38.050
quick rundown of what we're

00:53:38.070 --> 00:53:38.710
doing for Surge?

00:53:39.090 --> 00:53:39.992
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:53:40.052 --> 00:53:40.452
You know what?

00:53:40.592 --> 00:53:42.072
I meant to pull up the

00:53:42.112 --> 00:53:44.954
graphic before the podcast started,

00:53:44.974 --> 00:53:46.675
and I just absolutely failed.

00:53:47.297 --> 00:53:47.398
Well,

00:53:47.418 --> 00:53:49.259
that's where I was kind of going to

00:53:49.298 --> 00:53:50.199
go into next.

00:53:50.338 --> 00:53:52.280
Do you have the graphic?

00:53:53.219 --> 00:53:53.460
If not,

00:53:53.500 --> 00:53:55.481
I'll run into the group and pull it up.

00:53:55.581 --> 00:53:56.320
Yeah, you go ahead.

00:53:57.161 --> 00:53:57.282
No,

00:53:57.322 --> 00:53:58.161
that's just what I was going to lead

00:53:58.202 --> 00:53:58.762
into.

00:53:59.302 --> 00:54:00.362
Usually we do.

00:54:01.222 --> 00:54:02.523
We've done the 80s prom on

00:54:02.563 --> 00:54:03.324
Thursday nights.

00:54:03.784 --> 00:54:05.605
That's at the Cortland.

00:54:06.224 --> 00:54:07.226
I'm not sure if they're

00:54:07.266 --> 00:54:08.905
doing that yet this year or not.

00:54:08.925 --> 00:54:10.686
I hadn't heard anything or seen anything,

00:54:10.726 --> 00:54:10.847
but.

00:54:11.967 --> 00:54:13.349
I do plan to attend the

00:54:13.548 --> 00:54:14.510
Dragon Con Wrestling

00:54:14.550 --> 00:54:15.891
Thursday night for the first time.

00:54:15.971 --> 00:54:17.512
I haven't been to Dragon Con

00:54:17.552 --> 00:54:18.974
Wrestling since I've been going.

00:54:18.994 --> 00:54:21.096
This is my first year to go.

00:54:21.115 --> 00:54:23.398
Hopefully,

00:54:23.597 --> 00:54:25.159
Xavier Woods is going to be hanging out.

00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:31.242
He needs to get injured on

00:54:31.623 --> 00:54:33.925
the next Raw episode coming

00:54:34.204 --> 00:54:36.146
up so that he can take off

00:54:36.206 --> 00:54:37.327
for injury to come to

00:54:37.367 --> 00:54:38.927
DragonCon like he does.

00:54:40.829 --> 00:54:43.590
But yeah, we'll kind of... Friday,

00:54:43.630 --> 00:54:44.672
Brock and I usually try to

00:54:45.132 --> 00:54:46.152
do our autographs and

00:54:46.193 --> 00:54:47.193
walk-a-frame stuff on

00:54:47.293 --> 00:54:48.755
Friday and get that knocked out.

00:54:50.255 --> 00:54:51.356
Then we're going to lead

00:54:51.396 --> 00:54:53.277
into our PKE Surge

00:54:53.998 --> 00:54:56.380
activities for Friday night.

00:54:57.239 --> 00:54:57.699
There you go.

00:54:57.760 --> 00:55:00.201
We have a theme.

00:55:00.280 --> 00:55:01.961
It's country, western.

00:55:02.501 --> 00:55:03.583
You can interpret that

00:55:03.643 --> 00:55:05.463
country and western however you want.

00:55:05.543 --> 00:55:06.423
Wild west.

00:55:06.764 --> 00:55:08.565
Yeah, both kinds.

00:55:08.664 --> 00:55:09.724
Country and western.

00:55:12.686 --> 00:55:13.927
Some people are like, well,

00:55:13.947 --> 00:55:15.128
do you mean wild west?

00:55:15.188 --> 00:55:16.208
Yeah, you can do that.

00:55:16.327 --> 00:55:17.748
Do you mean e-hall?

00:55:17.869 --> 00:55:18.869
Yes, absolutely.

00:55:19.188 --> 00:55:19.969
You can do that.

00:55:20.090 --> 00:55:21.010
So, you know,

00:55:21.130 --> 00:55:22.610
it's got a broad theme to it.

00:55:23.550 --> 00:55:26.653
Um, so that is Friday night and, uh,

00:55:27.934 --> 00:55:28.574
then Saturday,

00:55:28.594 --> 00:55:30.175
of course we have the parade.

00:55:30.215 --> 00:55:30.675
We're always,

00:55:30.735 --> 00:55:32.617
the Ghostbusters always have a, uh,

00:55:32.697 --> 00:55:33.938
showing in the Dragon Con

00:55:33.958 --> 00:55:35.119
parade on Saturday.

00:55:35.500 --> 00:55:37.460
And if you are in the

00:55:37.501 --> 00:55:40.804

00:56:20.139 --> 00:56:20.840
Perfect.

00:56:20.940 --> 00:56:22.081
I'm so glad to hear that.

00:56:22.101 --> 00:56:23.422
I can't wait to see this.

00:56:23.963 --> 00:56:24.884
When I get home,

00:56:25.023 --> 00:56:26.385
I'm going to slap your mom.

00:56:34.333 --> 00:56:34.873
Go ahead, Jess.

00:56:37.235 --> 00:56:38.275
No, yes, as you were saying,

00:56:38.416 --> 00:56:39.195
I mentioned that too.

00:56:39.255 --> 00:56:39.536
Yes,

00:56:39.635 --> 00:56:41.117
you need to come to the Mixer on

00:56:41.177 --> 00:56:42.297

00:56:45.878 --> 00:56:47.059

To signify or to celebrate

00:56:58.262 --> 00:57:00.623
the 40th anniversary of the movie.

00:57:01.003 --> 00:57:03.724
We'll be showing that on Saturday night.

00:57:14.907 --> 00:57:17.208
So that's just a little

00:57:17.248 --> 00:57:20.632
rundown of these surge events for 2024.

We have the award.

00:57:22.373 --> 00:57:24.335
So like, if you have some kind of like,

00:57:55.277 --> 00:57:55.938
No, I was going to,

00:57:55.958 --> 00:57:56.938

but you can go ahead if you want to.

00:57:59.181 --> 00:58:00.541

00:58:08.507 --> 00:58:10.027
putting together that scavenger hunt.

00:58:10.443 --> 00:58:11.704
Sponsored by Daniel's Law.

00:58:11.945 --> 00:58:14.106

00:58:20.731 --> 00:58:23.193

00:58:23.472 --> 00:58:28.056
what's with the Santa in the background?

00:58:28.217 --> 00:58:30.057
When did you say that, actually, Roberto?

00:58:31.259 --> 00:58:32.340
I think he's live now.

00:58:32.840 --> 00:58:33.960
What are you talking about?

00:58:38.829 --> 00:58:39.309

00:59:31.942 --> 00:59:32.782

01:00:04.318 --> 01:00:06.498
DragonCon groups outside of Joe's.

01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:08.039
I keep in touch with Joe's.

01:00:08.400 --> 01:00:09.139
Thank you.

01:00:09.639 --> 01:00:10.081
Well, Joe,

01:00:10.121 --> 01:00:11.641
you're not posting endless

01:00:11.681 --> 01:00:13.061
postings of your cosplay

01:00:13.141 --> 01:00:14.402
lineup for the weekend.

01:00:14.681 --> 01:00:17.302
I'm not doing that.

01:00:17.322 --> 01:00:17.963
Basically,

01:00:18.143 --> 01:00:19.543
I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm,

01:00:19.563 --> 01:00:20.463
but I'm pretty sure I will

01:00:20.483 --> 01:00:21.463
probably not run into you,

01:00:21.503 --> 01:00:22.224
especially if you're not

01:00:22.244 --> 01:00:24.264
within my circle of people I know.

01:00:24.284 --> 01:00:24.704
Yeah.

01:00:26.780 --> 01:00:27.722
And we know people who do

01:00:27.762 --> 01:00:28.864
that love and enjoy it.

01:00:29.025 --> 01:00:29.344
Oh, yeah.

01:00:29.706 --> 01:00:30.385
No knock on that.

01:00:30.447 --> 01:00:33.311
It's just we know the crowds at Dragon Con,

01:00:33.351 --> 01:00:34.913
and there is a slim chance

01:00:34.992 --> 01:00:36.034
people are going to find you.

01:00:36.315 --> 01:00:36.514
Yeah.

01:00:37.677 --> 01:00:38.998
At wrestling last year,

01:00:39.018 --> 01:00:42.460
where I saw Bo and Brock –

01:00:42.460 --> 01:00:42.860
I was,

01:00:44.001 --> 01:00:45.722
there were a couple of wrestlers on

01:00:45.762 --> 01:00:47.782
the show that I know that

01:00:47.842 --> 01:00:49.664
I've worked with and they

01:00:49.724 --> 01:00:51.724
were looking for me and I

01:00:51.784 --> 01:00:52.824
could not find them.

01:00:52.885 --> 01:00:54.925
And we were in the same room.

01:00:54.965 --> 01:00:55.206
Yeah.

01:00:55.746 --> 01:00:56.567
That's a big room.

01:00:56.847 --> 01:00:58.248
And there's a lot of people in there.

01:00:58.827 --> 01:01:00.088
That's like early.

01:01:00.168 --> 01:01:01.849
If you want close, get there early.

01:01:01.909 --> 01:01:02.449
I mean, it's silly.

01:01:02.469 --> 01:01:03.769
You can sit anywhere and have a good seat,

01:01:03.809 --> 01:01:05.010
but it's get there early.

01:01:05.050 --> 01:01:05.489
If you can.

01:01:06.751 --> 01:01:07.871
That was a lot of fun last year.

01:01:07.891 --> 01:01:09.172
That was my first time going.

01:01:10.507 --> 01:01:12.148
It's, it's, it's everything.

01:01:12.208 --> 01:01:14.507
Like it's, it's a great is indie.

01:01:14.907 --> 01:01:17.708
It's an indie vibe show in a fun way.

01:01:18.108 --> 01:01:18.809
And like some of the

01:01:19.030 --> 01:01:19.949
wrestlers are dressed like

01:01:20.050 --> 01:01:20.630
other wrestlers.

01:01:20.670 --> 01:01:22.630
So it just adds another level to it.

01:01:22.771 --> 01:01:23.811
It's, it's just, it's fun.

01:01:23.831 --> 01:01:25.831
Yeah.

01:01:25.871 --> 01:01:26.291
Thank you.

01:01:26.331 --> 01:01:26.612
Yes.

01:01:27.152 --> 01:01:29.793
I, um, uh, here we go.

01:01:29.913 --> 01:01:30.152
Yeah.

01:01:30.172 --> 01:01:30.313
Yeah.

01:01:31.253 --> 01:01:31.672
Chase said,

01:01:31.713 --> 01:01:32.634
I noticed there are a couple of

01:01:32.713 --> 01:01:34.414
other GB panels and other tracks,

01:01:35.034 --> 01:01:36.474
no hate mentors them at all.

01:01:37.065 --> 01:01:38.505
But American Sci-Fi Classics

01:01:38.706 --> 01:01:40.447
is the real Ghostbusters panel.

01:01:40.507 --> 01:01:40.987
Yes, it is.

01:01:41.088 --> 01:01:41.648
Absolutely.

01:01:41.688 --> 01:01:43.349
And has been for ages.

01:01:44.150 --> 01:01:46.231
So the PKE Search official

01:01:46.271 --> 01:01:49.474
panel is always in American

01:01:49.494 --> 01:01:50.355
Sci-Fi Classics.

01:01:50.755 --> 01:01:50.956
Yeah.

01:01:51.576 --> 01:01:52.257
We're the best.

01:01:52.697 --> 01:01:53.297
We're the oldest.

01:01:53.958 --> 01:01:54.719
We're the most awesome.

01:01:55.579 --> 01:01:55.938
Exactly.

01:01:55.978 --> 01:01:56.320
Thank you.

01:02:00.202 --> 01:02:02.405

01:03:27.445 --> 01:03:28.164
William Shatner.

01:03:29.786 --> 01:03:30.327
Watch out.

01:03:30.507 --> 01:03:31.547
He may run you over.

01:03:32.148 --> 01:03:32.708
Indeed.

01:03:33.007 --> 01:03:34.528
No.

01:03:34.608 --> 01:03:35.489
For some chili dogs.

01:03:38.472 --> 01:03:41.213
If, if Gibney's is still there, then I'm,

01:03:41.673 --> 01:03:42.713
I'm, I'm, I'm in it.

01:03:42.733 --> 01:03:43.514
Um,

01:03:47.007 --> 01:03:48.047
Oh, very sweet.

01:03:48.628 --> 01:03:50.068
Katie said, I just wanted to tell Joe,

01:03:50.108 --> 01:03:50.989
I really enjoyed the in

01:03:51.030 --> 01:03:52.891
memoriam panel that maybe

01:03:52.931 --> 01:03:54.472
happened just once or twice

01:03:54.512 --> 01:03:55.313
a few years ago.

01:03:55.853 --> 01:03:57.494
We, okay.

01:03:58.295 --> 01:04:01.536
We did that when we did it.

01:04:01.577 --> 01:04:02.737
We did a panel about,

01:04:02.757 --> 01:04:04.217
I think Leonard Nimoy,

01:04:04.257 --> 01:04:05.099
when he passed away,

01:04:05.159 --> 01:04:06.159
that was the first in

01:04:06.179 --> 01:04:07.340
memoriam panel we did.

01:04:08.420 --> 01:04:10.101
And I remember saying to the

01:04:10.222 --> 01:04:11.103
audience that,

01:04:11.516 --> 01:04:11.675
well,

01:04:11.695 --> 01:04:13.016
we just wanted to do this because of

01:04:13.077 --> 01:04:14.056
all the other stuff he had

01:04:14.077 --> 01:04:15.378
done besides Star Trek.

01:04:15.458 --> 01:04:18.298
We assume that the Trek

01:04:18.358 --> 01:04:20.000
track did a Leonard Nimoy

01:04:20.059 --> 01:04:21.219
tribute panel and somebody

01:04:21.239 --> 01:04:22.800
in the audience went, no, they didn't.

01:04:24.661 --> 01:04:26.762
So we kind of saw an opening there.

01:04:26.922 --> 01:04:31.724
And so we started doing tribute panels to,

01:04:31.744 --> 01:04:32.846
I think the next year we

01:04:32.865 --> 01:04:33.646
did Carrie Fisher.

01:04:33.666 --> 01:04:36.246
And then we started looking at,

01:04:42.583 --> 01:04:44.724
And sadly,

01:04:44.985 --> 01:04:47.568
the sci-fi actors and sci-fi

01:04:47.728 --> 01:04:49.168
adjacent people who passed

01:04:49.230 --> 01:04:50.931
away throughout the year,

01:04:51.010 --> 01:04:52.992
the list is so long.

01:04:54.173 --> 01:04:56.757
And after a couple of years,

01:04:56.896 --> 01:04:57.918
the whole panel died.

01:04:59.110 --> 01:05:01.231
turned into less of a in

01:05:01.271 --> 01:05:03.213
memoriam thing and a

01:05:03.893 --> 01:05:05.534
reading the list of the dead.

01:05:06.333 --> 01:05:07.155
And we had,

01:05:07.175 --> 01:05:09.516
it just kind of got to be a bummer.

01:05:09.856 --> 01:05:10.817
Yeah.

01:05:11.478 --> 01:05:14.860
So one of our buddies who is

01:05:14.940 --> 01:05:16.621
all a frequent panelist of

01:05:16.780 --> 01:05:19.181
ours just moved it to his podcasts.

01:05:19.922 --> 01:05:23.105
And so now around Dragon Con time,

01:05:23.144 --> 01:05:24.925
he just does the yearly list of,

01:05:25.746 --> 01:05:27.806
And no offense to my buddy,

01:05:27.847 --> 01:05:29.788
Kevin Eldridge and his podcast,

01:05:29.827 --> 01:05:30.867
but it's a bummer.

01:05:33.128 --> 01:05:34.429
Well, see now this year, I mean,

01:05:34.449 --> 01:05:35.250
with John Cleese,

01:05:35.449 --> 01:05:36.710
that's who's going to be there.

01:05:36.769 --> 01:05:41.351
You know, you can bring out the day.

01:05:42.711 --> 01:05:43.253
Perfect.

01:05:43.512 --> 01:05:43.753
I just,

01:05:43.793 --> 01:05:45.893
I want to be somewhere near John Cleese.

01:05:45.974 --> 01:05:48.375
I don't think I'll be able to get close.

01:05:48.695 --> 01:05:49.594
That was a big,

01:05:49.914 --> 01:05:51.795
that was a big get for this year.

01:05:51.835 --> 01:05:52.916
Yeah, absolutely.

01:05:53.637 --> 01:05:54.257
We got to see.

01:05:54.817 --> 01:05:54.896
Yep.

01:05:55.273 --> 01:05:56.454
So going back to restaurants,

01:05:56.494 --> 01:05:58.436
Chase said Who's and Big

01:05:58.476 --> 01:05:59.777
Kahuna and Trader Vic's.

01:05:59.958 --> 01:06:00.518
Absolutely.

01:06:00.757 --> 01:06:01.318
Big Kahuna's.

01:06:01.418 --> 01:06:02.699
I've been having that on my

01:06:02.739 --> 01:06:04.202
list every year since I've

01:06:04.222 --> 01:06:05.001
been going and I keep

01:06:05.063 --> 01:06:06.143
forgetting to go every year.

01:06:08.626 --> 01:06:10.206
I'm the same way about Trader Vic's.

01:06:10.668 --> 01:06:12.088
I have never been.

01:06:12.108 --> 01:06:15.632
I keep saying it's right there.

01:06:16.152 --> 01:06:17.875
I've just never gotten down there.

01:06:19.331 --> 01:06:20.492
Ours is max loggers.

01:06:21.273 --> 01:06:22.614
Yeah.

01:06:22.893 --> 01:06:23.253
Yeah.

01:06:23.534 --> 01:06:25.155
That's, that's one place that, that,

01:06:25.175 --> 01:06:27.858
and who's we, uh, that we've,

01:06:28.018 --> 01:06:28.619
we've got to go.

01:06:28.639 --> 01:06:30.840
Um, yeah, that's what,

01:06:30.860 --> 01:06:31.780
that's what I was going to say.

01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:33.762
Who's, um, max logger.

01:06:33.782 --> 01:06:35.945
And it's offsite,

01:06:35.965 --> 01:06:36.625
but I always try to at

01:06:36.664 --> 01:06:37.346
least try to go to the

01:06:37.385 --> 01:06:38.547
vortex every few years.

01:06:38.907 --> 01:06:39.106
Yeah.

01:06:39.867 --> 01:06:40.047
Yeah.

01:06:40.088 --> 01:06:41.469
That's usually when we hit up on the,

01:06:41.748 --> 01:06:43.210
that we've hit up on the way out,

01:06:44.050 --> 01:06:44.550
out of town.

01:06:44.710 --> 01:06:44.831
Yeah.

01:06:44.851 --> 01:06:44.931
Yeah.

01:06:46.293 --> 01:06:46.954
When my, uh,

01:06:48.094 --> 01:06:49.416
some people who've listened to

01:06:49.436 --> 01:06:50.476
the podcast, uh,

01:06:50.958 --> 01:06:53.320
my son had a cardiac event earlier, uh,

01:06:54.000 --> 01:06:54.440
in May.

01:06:55.280 --> 01:06:55.742
And, um,

01:06:56.501 --> 01:06:57.663
and so we were coming back from

01:06:57.682 --> 01:06:58.784
the hospital in Atlanta.

01:06:59.264 --> 01:07:00.945
We drove right past vortex.

01:07:01.005 --> 01:07:03.827
I'm like, no, you're right.

01:07:03.947 --> 01:07:04.449
Oh my gosh.

01:07:04.489 --> 01:07:05.610
First of all, let's let's palate cleanse.

01:07:14.780 --> 01:07:15.822
You haven't been to Max

01:07:15.862 --> 01:07:16.742
Lager's in a few years.

01:07:16.762 --> 01:07:19.023
You need to join us this year, Phil.

01:07:19.123 --> 01:07:21.445
And Chase, the Claremont Lounge.

01:07:22.666 --> 01:07:24.007
You do your own research on that.

01:07:25.327 --> 01:07:26.608
We're not touching that one.

01:07:26.628 --> 01:07:27.748
Just go ahead and pop it

01:07:27.789 --> 01:07:28.889
into the Googles right now.

01:07:31.291 --> 01:07:32.992
Don't be surprised at what you'll see.

01:07:33.132 --> 01:07:34.652
Clear that browser history afterwards.

01:07:34.672 --> 01:07:38.655
I see here that Chase called

01:07:38.695 --> 01:07:39.996
it the Claremont Lounge.

01:07:40.376 --> 01:07:41.878

Yeah.

01:09:22.541 --> 01:09:24.103
This is my favorite Surge shirt.

01:09:24.162 --> 01:09:24.943
I have two of them,

01:09:25.404 --> 01:09:26.185
just in case one of them

01:09:26.244 --> 01:09:28.167
ever wears out for me.

01:09:28.306 --> 01:09:28.926
I love this one.

01:09:30.117 --> 01:09:30.296

Yeah,

01:09:33.918 --> 01:09:35.940
and I didn't say what you're referencing.

01:09:35.961 --> 01:09:36.621
Yeah, sorry.

01:09:36.900 --> 01:09:37.121
Yeah,

01:09:37.140 --> 01:09:38.362
Chase said props to Bo for wearing a

01:09:38.381 --> 01:09:39.302
13-year-old shirt.

01:09:40.703 --> 01:09:41.623
I still have mine from 09,

01:09:41.623 --> 01:09:42.625
my original one.

01:09:42.645 --> 01:09:43.545
That's the only year I don't

01:09:43.585 --> 01:09:44.086
have one from.

01:09:46.067 --> 01:09:48.368
And thank you, Phil.

01:09:48.529 --> 01:09:49.048
Appreciate it.

01:09:49.929 --> 01:09:51.310
Thanks for the like and all.

01:09:52.810 --> 01:09:55.693
We have a good time because

01:09:55.733 --> 01:09:56.913
of work schedules and everything.

01:09:56.974 --> 01:09:58.614
We do these every other week.

01:09:59.314 --> 01:10:02.537
Now for the next episode, it will actually,

01:10:02.777 --> 01:10:04.237
the live stream might just

01:10:04.256 --> 01:10:05.438
be Kevin when he's back.

01:10:06.137 --> 01:10:06.297
Um,

01:10:06.677 --> 01:10:08.899
he's tossed up the idea of doing a solo

01:10:08.979 --> 01:10:09.699
stream because

01:10:10.591 --> 01:10:11.773
We'll all be at dragon con.

01:10:11.853 --> 01:10:13.774
All of us will be at dragon con.

01:10:13.814 --> 01:10:16.574
Most of you will be at dragon con.

01:10:16.595 --> 01:10:17.975
Maybe we can pop in or something.

01:10:18.256 --> 01:10:18.475
Yeah.

01:10:18.775 --> 01:10:19.697
Yeah.

01:10:19.737 --> 01:10:20.277
Hopefully so.

01:10:20.837 --> 01:10:22.158
If not though, uh,

01:10:22.217 --> 01:10:23.319
if you're not going to dragon con,

01:10:23.338 --> 01:10:24.158
come hang out with Kevin.

01:10:24.439 --> 01:10:25.800
We'll, we'll be back here again.

01:10:26.100 --> 01:10:29.462
It should be at eight o'clock central, uh,

01:10:29.801 --> 01:10:32.043
that first Sunday night in September,

01:10:32.083 --> 01:10:34.305
September 1st, actually, I think, um,

01:10:34.989 --> 01:10:36.810
That should be if Kevin

01:10:36.831 --> 01:10:40.252
decides to do that.

01:10:41.453 --> 01:10:43.595
Chase says that's his favorite shirt, too.

01:10:44.435 --> 01:10:45.636
Katie says, bless Kevin.

01:10:45.676 --> 01:10:46.355
He's a good guy.

01:10:47.976 --> 01:10:48.957
Chase is only joking.

01:10:55.400 --> 01:10:56.921
Kevin does some really good stuff.

01:10:57.101 --> 01:10:57.481
Oh, yeah.

01:10:58.257 --> 01:10:59.238
I think the last time none

01:10:59.259 --> 01:10:59.939
of us could join him,

01:10:59.958 --> 01:11:01.341
he did a really fun episode.

01:11:01.360 --> 01:11:03.962
So, um, yeah, we, so,

01:11:04.103 --> 01:11:05.002
so Kevin will be here.

01:11:05.082 --> 01:11:06.264
Hopefully if not,

01:11:06.304 --> 01:11:07.145
we'll be back a couple of

01:11:07.164 --> 01:11:07.885
weeks after that.

01:11:07.904 --> 01:11:11.247
Uh, but definitely, uh, again,

01:11:11.894 --> 01:11:13.454
tell everybody about us and, uh,

01:11:13.796 --> 01:11:14.615
like the video.

01:11:14.695 --> 01:11:15.796
And if you're coming on here

01:11:16.057 --> 01:11:18.720
after the stream is over, leave comments.

01:11:18.739 --> 01:11:19.900
You know, we always go back and,

01:11:20.261 --> 01:11:23.083
and see what everybody adds to, uh, to,

01:11:23.224 --> 01:11:24.625
uh, the previously viewed videos.

01:11:24.664 --> 01:11:27.927
So, uh, pod catchers, uh,

01:11:28.028 --> 01:11:29.269
the audio form of this will

01:11:29.309 --> 01:11:30.470
release Wednesday morning.

01:11:31.171 --> 01:11:32.231
If you want to catch it

01:11:32.271 --> 01:11:33.432
there and listen to all of

01:11:33.533 --> 01:11:34.774
us ramble again.

01:11:35.728 --> 01:11:37.372
And don't forget Joe's tie

01:11:37.412 --> 01:11:38.274
that he is wearing right

01:11:38.314 --> 01:11:39.637
now will be up for auction

01:11:39.658 --> 01:11:40.500
during the Ghostbusters

01:11:40.539 --> 01:11:42.625
panel Saturday night at

01:11:42.664 --> 01:11:45.412
dragon con seven o'clock Eastern time.

01:11:47.979 --> 01:11:48.800
And if not,

01:11:48.840 --> 01:11:50.161
go watch Miami Connection and

01:11:50.201 --> 01:11:51.421
pay to leave, but still watch it.

01:11:51.822 --> 01:11:57.006
You can still watch it if

01:11:57.025 --> 01:11:57.886
you just drop your money.

01:11:57.905 --> 01:12:00.528
Yeah, I mean, you don't have to leave.

01:12:00.547 --> 01:12:01.368
You don't have to leave.

01:12:01.469 --> 01:12:01.788
Yeah.

01:12:02.168 --> 01:12:03.189
You've got an idea now for

01:12:03.210 --> 01:12:05.230
me now since y'all have the Miss Ropers.

01:12:05.270 --> 01:12:06.912
We need a Fury of Furlies.

01:12:07.193 --> 01:12:08.274
That's what I'm thinking.

01:12:08.314 --> 01:12:08.573
Oh, God.

01:12:08.814 --> 01:12:13.778
Give it time.

01:12:14.457 --> 01:12:16.099
That could be put together.

01:12:16.118 --> 01:12:18.001
A jungle of jacks?

01:12:21.143 --> 01:12:21.944
Oh, let's see.

01:12:22.144 --> 01:12:23.184
A clan of Christies?

01:12:25.905 --> 01:12:26.966
A chase of Christies since

01:12:26.987 --> 01:12:29.128
he's going to be doing it.

01:12:29.368 --> 01:12:30.250
A chase of Christies.

01:12:34.613 --> 01:12:34.993
Oh, me.

01:12:35.672 --> 01:12:35.894
Well,

01:12:36.661 --> 01:12:37.662
Anything else you want to

01:12:37.962 --> 01:12:39.064
promote while we're here, Joe,

01:12:39.083 --> 01:12:40.425
before we call it a night?

01:12:42.407 --> 01:12:43.728
Just follow us on the

01:12:43.747 --> 01:12:46.070
Facebook for all of our shenanigans.

01:12:46.511 --> 01:12:48.172
Facebook.com slash groups

01:12:48.934 --> 01:12:51.376
slash American Sci-Fi Classics.

01:12:52.516 --> 01:12:53.297
And we've got a bunch of

01:12:53.337 --> 01:12:54.800
virtual panels on YouTube

01:12:54.840 --> 01:12:56.201
that we're going to be doing more of,

01:12:56.280 --> 01:12:57.662
like this very one that

01:12:57.682 --> 01:12:58.422
you're watching here.

01:12:59.444 --> 01:13:00.744
And we started doing those

01:13:00.784 --> 01:13:01.985
during the pandemic.

01:13:02.667 --> 01:13:05.248
And then we, against our better judgment,

01:13:05.309 --> 01:13:06.329
we didn't stop.

01:13:07.131 --> 01:13:09.313
And so we've got a bunch of those.

01:13:09.573 --> 01:13:10.394
And I thought I would put

01:13:10.413 --> 01:13:11.614
the link to that in the chat.

01:13:11.755 --> 01:13:14.396
You can join our little group over there.

01:13:14.417 --> 01:13:17.220
Yeah, go right ahead.

01:13:20.922 --> 01:13:21.382

01:13:27.185 --> 01:13:28.126
We can't wait either.

01:13:28.506 --> 01:13:31.807
And man, I can't believe it's this close,

01:13:31.847 --> 01:13:32.889
but we're going to have a good time.

01:13:33.708 --> 01:13:35.310
But again, please like, subscribe.

01:13:35.329 --> 01:13:37.150
