Adam does movies live, already screwing things up. That didn't go away. I'm Adam of course. It's Tuesday night. I'm back. I'm feeling more tired than ever before.  And it was a great time. I was nervous as crap, but I think I pulled through and you're gonna be seeing some of the panels, some of the events stuff coming up on not only my channel, but Sean and Cody's as well. I'm not gonna waste any more time. Cody's here with me. Let's bring him in. Boom. There he is. Hey. How you doing? Still recovering as we talked about before he went live. You still have that festival exhaustion. Yeah. I should point out a couple of things. One, Superchats are always appreciated. It's basically how Cody and I are gonna survive in January since it's the worst payout month on YouTube.  Oh my God. Yeah. You'll have to go through those in a little while. Sean may or may not be joining us.  And I know his wife is like out the door the next day. So he's doing the dad thing, which is not great. Not great. So yeah. For those that don't know, Sean, I was on, what was on your stream? Like a month ago, two months ago, you had a live stream. I went on, it was about the state of the movie industry. With Sean, we chatted for a couple hours. And then the stream ended and I think we chatted for at least another hour or so. Really hit it off. Sean and Cody invited me to go to Megacon. It's the first time I've ever been to ACON. If you don't count, I was given a press pass from a buddy of mine in Canada to go to WizardCon in Minnesota like seven years ago. I don't think WizardCon is even a thing anymore. I think they're out of business. One of them cons where they'd like fill out a hotel lobby or something like that. It was a very small kind of depressing thing. I'm pretty sure the green power ranger was there and that was about it. Oh wow. Poor one out for the green power ranger. But no, so I went up Friday, but Cody, you were up there Thursday, right? It was a four-day event. Yeah, I left seven in the morning on Thursday and got there around 11, 11.30. Sean was already there. Joey got there not too long after that. And then we went over and did our first panel at 7 p.m. We walked right into the con.  Got away. Yeah, that's right. That was nice. You get a lanyard. And I love lanyards. I think they're the most special things on earth.  I felt super special with that lanyard. I felt especially special on Sunday when I had to do that sprint back to the hotel to wake up Joey and sprint back. And there was 2,000 people waiting. We'll get to that. We will.  Essentially, it was in Orlando, Florida. It was a gigantic, how many Costco's worth would you say it is? Squarespace, maybe 30? I don't know. And that's just on the side that we were in. There was a whole other side of the convention center that was like the cowboy con or the cattle con or whatever, which is the side that it used to be on. So yeah, it's the whole convention center might as well be its own city because it's surrounded by hotels. There's sky bridges going every which way. I mean, it's crazy. Yeah, it's very futuristic when you walk in there. The ceiling's massively high. And all it is really is it's a bunch of nerds getting together and celebrating movies, comics, anime, some video game stuff I saw this year. I wish there'd be more of that maybe in the future. And there's, I don't know how many different kind of like kiosks they had there, but hundreds, I would imagine. And on the far side, you have all the celebrities that show up in these range from voice actors, like the Futurama cast, a lot of them were there to really big name actresses like Susan Sarandon, Gina Davis was there. Back to the future cast was there. The Stranger Things kids, anybody involved with Star Wars basically goes every single time had Bill Shatner hanging out. You look around, you'll find Will Shatner somewhere. He's always there. Ian, who's the actress that's always there? She does the web series. She's not like a really popular actress, but she is in the nerd world. Felicia Day? Felicia Day, yeah. Felicia Day, yeah. She's at every single Comic Con ever. I'm pretty sure she just kind of packs up and goes with the next one. And so outside of that, then you have kind of the center stage area right next to the food court. And during this, there are panels that are presented. I think Chuck, who kind of runs the panel thing, said there was what, 80 panels or more that he had scheduled? 10 a.m. all the way to 7 p.m. every single day, with the exception of Sunday, which was like four to seven. But yeah, I mean, every hour is a new panel, so they literally don't leave the stage until the show is done. Right, and that was the big thing I was kind of invited to do were a few of these movie panels. And of course, to just meet people that know me and Cody and Sean. So with that said, Cody is there Thursday, why don't you walk us through how that went? Yeah, so we get there Thursday. Like I said, we walk in with our Wayne's World badges. So we walk in at three while everybody else is waiting outside for four o'clock to hit. You know, we check out the stage. It had moved from not only the convention being on a different side of the convention, but where they stuck the creator stage itself was in a much more prime spot this year, where as Adam said, it's like right in the center of the action. It's right where, right next to where a lot of the booths are, right where the food court is, and it was just right in the middle of all of that. So tons of walkthrough traffic, even if they're not listening, it looks like you're speaking to about 10,000 more people than you probably are. The previous two years, it was literally in the corner where you pass the curtains to go to the bathroom. So you would only get the walking traffic of somebody who's not stopping because they have to piss. So it was a much nicer spot. And we had our photo op with Back to the Future cast, which I'll have to get out here, like right at 420. That was the first order of business. So me and Joey and Sean got in line to get this picture with the cast of Back to the Future. You got Christopher Lloyd, Michael J. Fox, Leah Thompson, and Tom Wilson. And massive line. I mean, they were kind of the premier guests. They were only there Thursday and Friday.  So they make their money.  There's no meet and greet. There's no handshakes. There's no like, nice to meet you, Mr. They're just like, next, next. And the funniest thing with this one, which I'm glad happened because it made it such a great memory is we stand behind them, they pop the picture, we walk to the left, and luckily they have like a little preview screen. So if somebody blinks, if something happens, they let you retake it. And sadly, I assume this happened a lot because of Michael J. Fox's disease. He's moving around a lot. So we take our picture, we go to leave and they're like, you got to retake it, get back in line. So you just immediately get right back over to the other side of the photo booth. Two more people go. We get back up to take our picture and Tom Wilson looks at us. He goes, oh, these three bozos again. Can't even take a picture, right? And we're like, we got bullied by a biff. Yes. We got bullied by a biff. Something was awesome. Walked around a little bit more and the panel that kicked it off that night was me and Joey. I was interviewing him about his early life, becoming a big movie fan, his unexpected rise to fame in Netflix reality series. And then talking about his movie that he has coming out later on this year and kind of the creative process with that, which was a bit nerve wracking for me because that was the first time that I was leading a panel. Usually Sean does that and I'm just kind of thrown, you know, what to talk about here and there.  So it was very stressless for me. How about that weather, Joey? Let me tell you about what's going on in Hollywood. Okay, all right, I'm here. Yeah, can you give us just a little bit about how you met Joey and who this guy even is? Cause I didn't know who he was until of course I went there on Thursday and he was just, he was fantastic. Oh yeah, it's a funny story, man. Cause I don't watch reality TV and neither does Joey, ironically enough. He'll tell you that openly, but I don't watch reality TV, but the circle is this show that Netflix started maybe four years ago, something like that. It was their first reality TV show. And the concept of it, if nobody's seen it, is you get all these people together, mostly 20-somethings, and each individual person is locked in like their own apartment and they're shut off from the outside world and they're only able to interact with the other contestants through social media. So like Facebook profile pics, instant messaging, group chats, and some of the people are actually catfish. So they're not who they're presenting on screen and they get all these little activities and things to do. And at the end of every episode, they have to like basically vote somebody out of the island. They have to block them. And Joey ended up winning the first season. So I'm watching, my wife is watching this show and I'm sitting here like side-eyeing it, doing my editing or whatever.  I don't watch reality TV. And then like three episodes in, I'm like, I'm kind of watching more. It's catching more of my attention and no lie. Like I start watching it and I'm like, I like this guy, Joey, he's like fun to watch. I hope he wins. And so I start getting invested and he ends up winning. Fast forward, maybe a year, year and a half after that show airs and randomly on Instagram one day. It's like Joey Sasso requests to be a friend.  This can't be real. What a random person to you. Yeah, it was so random. So random. And so I added him as a friend and I look at his profile and I was like, oh, that's the real Joey. Now he's probably just networking.  This is weird. And then all of a sudden, like 30 seconds later, he sends me a message.   Like the one reality show that I watch and the one person on the show that I kind of latch into and kind of really like it was a massive fan of my channel. So kind of a twist of fate. And then we've chatted and gotten close over the last couple of years talking movies and everything. And when Sean let me know that we got to go ahead to go to Megacon, a lot of our people that we had already done it with were busy because it was such a last minute go ahead and just kind of on a whim. I was like, it's probably not going to happen. I know it's last minute, but I know you got your movie coming out. If you want to join for a couple of panels and like, yeah, I'll be there. Oh, okay. And so he flew out. Yeah, what was it? I'll be there. I'm here for all four days because maybe he'd come out for a day or two, but no, he was like all in. Well, as soon as he was all in and he was Pat, I was like, OK, well, what can we throw him on? What makes sense? And so it was kind of cool for him because he's known as this reality guy and he wants to be known for movies and being a filmmaker. So it was kind of a way for him to like actually play in the sandbox that he wants to play in. So yeah, he joined us for, you know, I interviewed him. And then he joined us for the hot movie take showdown and the final one, the horror movie show panel. So it was a lot of fun. Yeah, I knew he was going to be a fun guy to talk to when I saw him wearing the season of the witch t-shirt Halloween three and he wasn't wearing it ironically. I thought, OK, all right, I like this guy. This is going to be fun. Oh, yeah, for sure. And that was the funny thing. Like, we'll get to that. But we have such a such a keen taste for certain things that like we line up so well and we shouldn't. Like every opinion that we have should make us not friends with everybody. But for some reason, me and him are just caught from the same cloth in that way. Let's get it. You're in sync. So so did Thursday have a rough night or did you get to bed at a decent time Thursday night? Because I know the other nights were not so not so kind. No, no, Thursday night was was was not a was not a sleep night. OK, so you Cody and Joey were in this. This is this is brilliant, too. The the amount of planning you guys put together is just brilliant. Sean, there's two hotels with the same name, but one of them is East and one of them is West, I think. And so Sean got his hotel and I was staying with him the following night. And Cody and Joey were in the other hotel that was a mile or two away or might as well be 10 miles with the amount of traffic that was there. So we can actually hang out with them, you know, when it when the night started to wind down, but so Cody and Joey had a nice intimate time together at night to chat. Yes, exactly. And like I said, Joe is the type of guy where you don't really have to give him much to get a lot of conversation out of him. And he's been working in the industry so much. So he would just even as I saw like the time, I'm like, man, it's almost five a.m. And you start to get them droopy eyes and then he'd just be like, oh, and then this happened with Vince Vaughn. I'm just like, tell me more. And so he just always had this way to like pitch the beginning of a story that all of a sudden I'm like, I'm awake again. And so literally the first night after the first night of Megacon, we didn't wind down from conversation to actually go to bed until like seven a.m. And I had to be there at 10 a.m. for the YouTube panel. So it was literally like three hours of sleep ish and I just got there. And yeah, I told Sean the whole thing that kind of became like a recurring joke that I was going to get no sleep because we're just like partying hard the whole time.  Yes, yes, exactly. It would. OK, so Friday you got up.  I was actually invited to be on that one, but I was doing the math and I thought to myself, OK, I would have to leave my house at around 2.30 in the morning if I were to hit that 10 a.m. panel. So I told Sean it's not going to happen. That went well. You guys hung out, I assume, for a while. And then I got up and left around seven in the morning, assuming I would get there around 12 31, giving me ample time to find the room, get unpacked and get to the panel at four for the that didn't happen either. Because, of course, I'm terrible when it comes to driving any sort of distance. I have to stop every hour and a half to go to the bathroom, get a Coke. And Cody, I don't know if I told you this, but I have a little life hack that I actually taught myself off the fly. I might have told you, but I like to drink a Coca Cola classic, call me old fashioned cup of ice and a Coke is my thing to do. I go to McDonald's to get a breakfast. OK, here we go. I go to McDonald's for a morning breakfast, which I absolutely adore.   I think I think this is hard to catch.  Exactly. So I think that's where it comes from, is there are so used to people saying light ice that light ice has become normal ice down here. Yeah, I do have to request extra ice now everywhere I go. And then it seems like I get a decent amount. So it's not a huge deal. It's just something I've I've learned to live with over the last year and a half.  I polish that thing off, you know, pretty early on because I get so much ice in it. Two strips. So the jokes on me, I guess.  I just pull off, I go up into the into the establishment. I just refill that thing at another Coca Cola stand inside of a McDonald's. Is it stealing? I don't know. It's coming from the same company. It's a different location. If you don't know how fountain soda works, it actually costs the company nothing for the machine. They just pay for the shitty syrup. So at the end of the day, kind of like counting cards, it's not illegal just frowned upon. Exactly.  But I'm OK with that. I've given them enough of my money. So I get down to the clown. Sticking it to the clown. And I did have to stop up at Bucky's, which is always going to cost you about a half hour of time because of the $100 and $100. Yeah, I had a brisket sandwich and a Coke as well. I ended up getting to Megacon around three o'clock. It was supposed to be it was supposed to be 1230. It was almost three. Sean kept texting. He's like, so what's the ETA on this?  Oh, my God, this is a Friday afternoon. It was the same thing.   And it's consistent. Every time I come to Orlando, I almost get in a wreck at least twice. Like the first year that we were there, this is no exaggeration. I went to go drop Sean off at the airport at five a.m. There's nobody on the road, nobody. And somehow I still almost got in a wreck three times in 10 minutes. Yeah, yeah. I actually have a horror story coming up here because my daughter is about to turn 15 as in tomorrow. And so she is old enough to get a permit and in South Carolina, I'm pretty sure your insurance goes up by like a thousand dollars a month or something insane.  It's it's it's actually very scary. It's a very scary situation.  I can't imagine a 15 year old girl attempting to get around this place since Nightmare Fuel. All right, so I get there. I can't remember the name of the hotel, but it was awesome. Do you remember the name of that thing? Yours was the Rosen Center. Mine was Rosen Plaza. Rosen Center, Rosa Plaza. I I don't know what the difference is. One, I guess is in the central hub of the arena. And yours is maybe on the outskirts more. I didn't see yours that. OK, I get there. Actually, I should back up a little bit earlier on the drive. This isn't even a 24 hour notice. Sean texts me and says, hey, Adam, I know you were just at Universal Studios for four days with your family, but they have a sick deal where Friday night we can get in for 80 bucks. Would you like to go?  And I was in and that'll come back later on in the story. But I get there. I meet Sean. I meet his buddy Tony. I believe his name was he's a fan of the show and he's starting a YouTube channel. He's a very nice guy. And then we jumped on our hot takes panel. And this nice woman named Bevin, I guess, also got kind of thrown in last second to the panel. And Sean wasn't really prepared for that. Didn't know her. I didn't know her and also on the drive up. He goes, hey, we're going to be debating things. Do you know anything about Avatar, the last airbender show? Because I don't. And I fortunately did. I love that show. It's one of my favorites. And so I said, OK, you're going to be debating it with Bevin. She has a hot take. And that's all I had to work off of. But I think it worked out. We were all kind of unsure of what that hot takes one was going to be. Sean, every year Sean has one little wacky idea and it never completely like you never completely see the vision of it until it's halfway already through. So that whole time I was I was I was very concerned on this either going to be a really good hit or we're going to be like feeling awkward. And luckily, I think it hit more than it didn't. But the difficulty with that was I was paired with Joey, which was great because our personalities bounce off each other really well. We can get real animated and get the crowd interacted. But like I said, we are hot takes. Like we see each other as the sane one in the room. So it took like all day of us chatting. I'm trying to figure out like what hot take can I argue with you that you don't completely agree with?  I was like, what do you think about this? And he's like, love it. I can't do that one. And so the whole day was that. And luckily, by the end of it, we ended up coming up with two that we. What were they again? I didn't even listen to yours because I was too busy worrying about mine. Yeah, I hear you. So his ended up being that last Jedi was the best Star Wars movie since Empire. And mine was that the original Friday the 13th is a terrible movie. And so I agree with I actually agree with yours. I'm going to have to watch that panel again.  That had to have been fantastic because I would have. It was. It was good. You know, I didn't listen because I didn't know that we were supposed to have two of them. Sean told me that she had one about last airbender. He didn't say I was supposed to have one. So while you guys were going and then you swapped, Bevan's like, wait, you're supposed to have one too. I'm like, oh, God. So then I'm trying to come up with something. And that's why mine was such an easy one for her to kind of tee off on. I don't even remember what it was. I just remember it was very easy for the funny part about ours was is she's talking to me about her last airbender hot take, which was Aang and Katara shouldn't have ended up together at the end.   But I'm kind of just like cordially disagreeing with her. And she goes, you know what? I think ours is going to be a pretty civil back and forth conversation compared to these guys.   And I think it kind of took her back. I was like, whoa, I was not expecting you. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. And the funniest part too is like Sean started to get into like this pseudo hot ones thing here on his channel where he's doing like the hot takes hot wings thing. And and he kept like hinting that that was going to be involved somehow. And this is, you know, you know what I was doing the whole time. Like we're not doing a panel. We're not doing meet and greets. I'm out walking. I'm trying to go to tables and, you know, go to panels and stuff. And so like I was pretty adamant, like I'm not I'm not having any last dab. I don't know what's going on with you. And so Sean just ends up the only one with this plate of chicken fingers.  The rest of us are just I didn't know about this whole thing. I don't think the audience did either because it was so like, I don't know if he was wanting everybody to take a part in it. But that was like kind of the last minute thing that was thrown in that wasn't even really communicated well. So it's so random when you watch it. Just everybody else is just like, I disagree. I disagree too. Who in the crowd disagrees and then Sean's just like pain. Yeah, she was like, oh, here we go again. Like, who are you doing this for? I don't think anybody I'm sitting next to him. And like we're in front of what seems like a hundred thousand people because you have all the photo ops and all the yeah, all that empty space. And I look at him and he's talking and trying to like hold his composure. And I just see tears coming down his face. And I'm just waiting for him to like pass it off like you host for a second. Yeah, but he topped it out. All right. So that panel was at four went to around five. They were about 45 minutes each. And again, these panels will be available on the on the channels at some point. I don't know. Do you know when yours is gone at some point this week? I really don't know. But I'll get it out, but both of them will be out by Friday for sure. Sean's going to have the how to grow YouTube channel on his channel. It might not be on his main channel. It'll probably be on his real creators. One which is kind of his instructional channel. The movie hot takes as well as the has the comic book bubble burst. One will be on his channel. Mine will have the Joey interview and the state of the horror genre. Nice. And I'll probably just do a collection of I'm under one video. Just a little greatest hits or something like that. And I'll probably post actually if you are a patron at patreon.com slash Adam does movies, I will have all of the panels. I'll just upload them there for you at like the I don't know, ten dollar tier and up. All right. So after that, you I think did you go get you must have gone and went autographs with Joey, right? And then Sean did his little pretty much. Yeah. So Sean is the only one worthy of a table by Megaton fan.  It's kind of a it's a running joke because like last year, I made a really big deal about that because it just kind of seemed like some of us were discarded. But this year it was just kind of like, of course, they only gave Sean a table. So he's got his table and every single panel, he's got, you know, 30 people in line and Sean, God bless him just stays there. Like he never gets to his line and says, OK, I've done my bit. Now I'm going to go experience the con. He just parks there and waits for somebody else. I'll tell up at the table. He's like fully engaged and for a little bit because I'd never done this is my first one ever. So I'm kind of just standing there like his handler for a little bit. Once in a while, somebody like, oh, hey, Adam, but most of the time it's they see Sean's face up on the billboard and like they're here for him. And I'm just kind of like this misfit toy. And you know, like part of me is so badly wants to say like, hey, I have a YouTube channel to Adam's movies or hopes that Sean will like address me. But in my mind, I'm like, no, this is their thing. I don't need to be here. I shouldn't be here. And I learned that quick enough, you know, after he spends 15 minutes talking with one person, which is exactly what I probably would do also. So I kind of started meandering and enjoying the massive mega con experience. And I went back to him around. I want to say was six, six 20. I go back there and Sean goes, Adam. We I found out that we have to pick up our tickets at the oh, yeah, all area of mega universal. Yeah, to get into the Universal Studios because this $80 thing we bought, you have to actually go to a location inside of mega con to pick up your little snap bracelets, because this park is only open for mega con people from seven p.m. to midnight, which is fantastic. But that was at six 20. He told me that and I just say, I'm like, OK, yeah, I'll make sure between the two of us idiots, one of us will remember Cody is by far the most responsible person of the three of us. I'm married for a reason. I can't tie my shoes without my wife telling me. But Cody was gone. He and Joey were off getting autographs and meeting cool people. I'm just kind of wandering. And at six 25, I look at my phone and I see an email that says, you must pick up your tickets by six 30 or you will not get into the Universal Studios six 25. Sean is full on in, you know, creator mode, talking to two people. I'm like, Sean, I hate to break this up, but we have to go now. And he's like, what's going on? Like, we have to pick these up at the will call booth here. And Sean's like, oh, my God, that's on the other side of the arena. So we're full blown sprinting through this thing. He's already sweaty from all the hot wings sauce he's been ingesting. And so he's just I'm like, I don't know where I'm going. And the people wouldn't let us through some area, even though we had badges, so we had to like swing around. And at six 30 on the dot, we get there. And thankfully we were able to get our badges.  Talk about a first night experience. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And it's funny because I reminded Sean twice to because I picked mine up on the like on the way in at nine o'clock in the morning. That was the first thing I did. I even took a picture of the booth. I was like, it's all the way to the right. Here's what it looks like. Make sure you get it on the way in. And then I didn't tell you this at all. Yeah, no, of course he didn't. Yeah, yeah, I sent the whole text. I was like, here's where you get. I might as well draw on a map. And then, yeah, I didn't find out until you guys were gone. They went to go run to get badges. And I was like, damn, that's going to suck. The responsibility totem pole. You're at the top. I'm definitely next. And then Sean, so if you ever have any information, relay it to me. And then we don't even need to tell Sean. We'll just when the time comes, we'll do it for him. Yeah, I always tell anybody that joins us. I'm like, when Sean gets to the stage, Sean's brain goes into work mode and you literally have to physically flip the switch. Like he can't switch it himself. So there's been years where I'm like, Sean, you have to consume food at some point. They'll come back. Let's go. And so, yeah, he very much just gets there and his body goes into lockdown. And I always joke with everybody else. I have a joke with Sean, too. Like you'll see when the day is over, you'll see his body just go like, like it just goes into rest mode. It is really something. I don't know what it is about him, but he becomes very loose, but also kind of like zombified at the same time. He's like hunched over. He's very tired. He's goofy. He's very fun to be around. He's always fun to be around, but he's like even more silly at night. I feel like I could say anything and he'll laugh at it. And I appreciate that. Yes, very much. And so that that was really fun going to Universal with you guys because we got the tickets. Chuck, who does the stage stuff, said he had an Uber that I have an Uber on the way that can fit six people. And there are seven of us. I think it'll work. And Cody just kind of looks at Sean and then looks at me and then down to themself. We're all like six, three plus. And he's like, I don't think this is going to work. Yeah, I said, I've never heard squeeze us in used in reference to myself, let alone these gentlemen who are equal size. Right. Unless this Uber is a clown car, there's no way this is happening. And I did drive. So I do have a vehicle and we were trying to avoid parking, but there was no, there was no charge, which was nice. So not only that, it was one of the best laughs of the night where we're, we're driving into the parking lot and they have one lane for handicapped and one lane for regular people and Adam's driving and we're like a good like, you know, a fifth of a mile away from this woman and she just like aggressively like points to the normal. And I was just like, why was she so confident that you were not handicapped? And then it became a run over there. Yeah. And I guess I take it as a compliment. It's one of the few times people have thought the opposite of me. We got into the park and it was honestly, it was amazing, but I was also kind of bitter about the whole thing.  It was like a fourth of the cost that it normally is. Plus we paid $80. Plus we got a $25 food and drink voucher on top of that. So really it was like 50 bucks at the end of the day. 55 bucks. And there was no lines for anything. So that Hagrid ride that the whole night, so that Hagrid ride that usually averages three hours to wait in line for, we went on it three times. Velosa coaster, the same thing, Spider-Man, all of them. And Cody hasn't been to Universal Studios in a long time. So this is all new to him. And I'm just sitting here thinking, how dare you? You didn't put in the work for this ride, man. You just got right on this ride.  I'm so used to having to wait in line for things. I thought we would have had to wait a little bit. So I got a Butterbeer. I got a Butterbeer. It's $9. And Cody's like, yeah, I'll get one too. I'm like, yeah, you'll be fine. You'll be fine. We just instantly had to throw him away because there was no line at all. I'm sitting here trying this chug it, and it's a frozen one. It hurts so much. It just hurts the whole time. And not only that, it was hilarious too, because we're on this Hagrid ride. Is Sean in the chat? Oh, yeah. You can come on the video unless you're still not in a situation where you can. He's probably in a robe. And he probably has a cold ice pack on his head, and his kids are punching him in the stomach. Yeah.  Oh, that's true. He did lose his voice.  But yeah, we'll get to the super chat in just a second, guys. But one of the funniest moments is we're riding this Hagrid ride. And luckily, Adam has all the hacks. He's like, you definitely want to be on the right side. We want to be here. And so I'm on the motorcycle. And again, I've never experienced any of these rides, because I haven't been to Universal since I was 6.  But we get to a point where it stops. And it's like a moment to breathe. And I look over at Adam, and he's just like, and I look to the right, thinking, what is he waving at? And then it just drops. And it just totally set me up for a jump scare.  So it was a good night. I'm honestly jealous you got to experience that, because it was like a day before we went on the ride. I purposely don't look at rides on YouTube Shorts or anything, but it showed up a Hagrid ride. So I saw the whole thing, and I knew about the drop before it happened when I went on it. And I was bummed out, because that was such a, would have been such a fun experience to feel for you. I didn't expect it, because we had just went backwards, which was unexpected enough. And then it dropped, so it hit you twice. And yeah, we rode that. We rode that ride twice, rode the Hulk, rode the Spider-Man ride, the little Hogwarts experience one, all of them were pretty cool. What was your favorite you just did? I was pleasantly the Hagrid one for sure. Hagrid, OK. Yeah, Hagrid for sure. I think it's the lean Velocicoster, but again, you didn't have lines. So based on my experiences, Hagrid's ride breaks down constantly. And then it screws everyone in the line over. And the Velocicoster typically moves through the line faster.  I know I got Joey in the chat. Everybody's just taking a back seat. What are you, Joey's in this too. Joey, you can come on the stream, dude. I sent him via text. So whatever, people can come in if they want. Joey's probably knee deep in some spicy chicken sandwiches and Mountain Dew Voltage, you know what I mean. And he's mostly getting his haircut too, so he might be eating and drinking and getting his hair did. There you go. The other funny highlight of the night, which I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food, by the way. Usually when you get vouchers, it's just garbage. But I sit down and then Adam and Sean sit down and they're choking, laughing about something.   But look at the name tag of the woman that gave you her food.  Like we weren't trying to make fun of her, but it's impossible not to get a joke out of it.   This poor woman's name was Analee. Analee, A-N-A-L-Y. And so we went on a good 10 minute comedy roast where we were talking like, we were roasting the fact that Sean's meatballs on his spaghetti were three times the size of Adam's.  Because we're really mature. We were eight years old for like 10 minutes, but it was us literally choking, laughing, and nobody understood what was so amazing about it, but it was. I see someone. You ready?  He can hear me, right? Thumbs up? No? Okay. Oh, yep. Okay. There he is. How's it going, sir? Hey, I think Joey's in the chat too, if you want to. He is, he is. More friends joining. I asked him. So yeah, there was a good 12 minutes of us just being the worst examples of white men ever.  And we're just like, we're just every which way we could do it. So yeah, that was, that was a special. What conversation did I join in on here? You joined in the right one. We're in the line. He's talking about the poor girl. Annal-y, Annal-y in her name. You know how I know I'm really mature? I went home to tell my wife the story and I go, listen, Lindsay. The woman's name tag said, A-N-A-L-Y. And she goes, Annal-y? I'm like, okay.  You don't understand my humor. Yeah, but I'm in the line and I see the tag and I just, I go, and I go, Sean. I go, Sean. And Sean's just all calm, and he looks over. Sean's food is so good. Yeah, we're adults. There was one other highlight from that little event and Sean's gone. Sean's done. Seanathan? I can hear you. I can hear you too. I can't see you. There he is. Oh, interesting. He's in a horror movie right now. Where did I go? My back? You're kind of going back and forth. Your hand's in the way. You're flipping things around. Now you're in, this is going to be great for the audio version only. Sean apparently is learning how his camera works for the first time and we'll maybe see him again someday. We caught up with, was it Chuck and some of the other people that worked at the Megacon later? Cody? Yeah, we crossed paths with them after we had basically completed our round and then we were eating and then they joined us and then we tried to follow. And then they just straight-up ditched us at one point and that was fantastic. They're like, oh, we want to go inside this shop for a little bit. We're like, okay, cool. So we just kind of hung out outside and 10 minutes go by. They go out the other tour. It was like a freaking, it was like a Scooby-Doo thing where they just kind of bailed us and yeah, I mean, they bailed. That's how it is. And it's fair. It's fair after the conversation we had just a little bit ago. Sean, are you here with us? Yeah, yeah. I've heard everything. I was trying to respond to comments, but I'm on my phone in the web browser. So, I was like just a terrible idea. So- How's the family doing? Is everybody still under the weather? Yeah, yeah, everyone's sick. So I can't even use my office. So I was downstairs watching Star Trek 3 because it's a Tuesday night. And then I noticed the live stream was going on. I was like, I guess I could join on my phone. Yeah. So here I am. That's power of technology. You can do it on your phone and do it on a fridge, probably if it had the capabilities. Yeah, and whenever I need to go to the bathroom, I can stay on. Yeah, you can just- Yeah, you can just- Just bring it over. Oh, okay guys, just hang on a second. So how are you recovering? I know your entire family is sick.  No, she's not sick. She actually has to leave on a work trip tomorrow. Is she quarantined then in the kitchen or something? In the garage?  It stopped her from being able to breathe the intoxicated air. It also just stopped her from breathing in general. So that was a problem. Yeah, that's true. What? What was that question? Ever? She's like, I'm done. Yeah, I have just been sleeping. Like the real reason I forgot to get on when you started is because I was asleep. I had put on Star Trek 3 and immediately tried to take a nap at eight o'clock at night and then woke up like, oh, they're on. Let me hop on. Well, right before I went live- My third nap today. Right before I went live, Cody was actually on the stream before I was.   My daughter had three houses by the end, a full car of people. She's counting $500,000 bills and I'm sitting here with just, which is the sad couple hundred dollars to my name. And I'm like, I got to leave. I have a stream to get to. I don't have time for this garbage. So I'm still counting money up there for all I know. The board game that my seven year old has latched on to from the last couple of months is Breaking Bad Monopoly. And it's just hilarious because she doesn't understand the references. She's just like, upgrade my tent to a meth lab. Here you go. That's awesome. Oh, my Jesse Pinkman Boulevard. Like what are the names of these? Crack House and- All of the locations of the show.  You got Hank's place on there? That's great. Wow. All right. Where were we on this chronic lean of mega con? Okay, so Friday night, we're out till midnight. We live it up. It's a fantastic time. Sean and I go back to the hotel and we, you know, we chat for a good, I think two hours. We didn't get to bed till around two or three in the morning. And I thought- And we watched in practical jokers. No, no, no. That was the next night. That was the next night. Oh, I got confused. It was just a nice heart to heart with you and I. Learning about each other, experiencing everything there is to know about Sean Chandler and Adam Olinger. And we got to bed at three.  You can't stay up much later than this. But then I heard from Cody the next morning. What happened on your end of the thing? On your side of the thing. Yeah, that was, that's the night that happened. That's correct. So yeah, we didn't have a panel until 1 p.m. Saturday. That was the only day that we had one panel. And I was talking like, because on Friday I had spent two and a half hours in line trying to get Keith David's autograph.  There's something about Mary fans. This should be a fairly reasonable line. And I get there and it's by far the longest line of Thursday and Friday, aside from the Back to the Future people. And I'm in line and I'm like, well, this is awesome that the thing has this much of a turnout. And I start looking at everybody and I'm like, oh, that person's holding a gargoyles box. Oh, Princess and the Frog. Oh, Halo, that guy's got a helmet. Oh yeah, I forgot he does a lot of voice work. And so like... Rick and Morty's kind of a popular show. I'm the oddball in the line because it's like the least nerdy thing that they want him to sign. And then I ended up having to leave the line before I could even see him because we had our panel. So I was kind of screwed out of two and a half hours. So I told these guys, I was like, I'm getting here at nine. I'm gonna come in with the Wayne's World badge and get past everybody. I'm gonna go stand in his line awkwardly at 10, even if I'm by myself, just to make sure that I meet him. And then I started to hear some Joey stories. And my God, the time just flew off of that clock. And then suddenly, like the way our hotel is, is like we have our two beds and then we have the window that looks out to like the convention and the water and everything. And so my back is to it. And I'm just listening to all of his stories and then all of a sudden I start to see the glow in the room is a little different. And I'm like, oh, the sun's out. And so I go to bed at 7 a.m. Yeah, me getting there at nine did not happen. And so I got there like a 12, five hours of sleep. They're like, oh yeah, we stayed up till three. We're wild animals. And I was like, well, listen to this. Jump change, jump change, my friend. I just texted Joey. I kind of yelled at him. I said, we're all here. Get in this chat. We'd love to hear from you. Oh, there he is.   He might be indisposed. Yeah, he probably is. I mean, Sean's on his phone in what has to be COVID country right now. Your kids don't have like the stomach flu, do they? I hope not. Well, Kara's claims she threw up last night and I asked her what color and she said green. So that seems like that could be true. I don't know. It's hard to train them to take pictures whenever they throw up. So I can like, I don't know. I just like that sort of thing, you know. Oh yeah, right. We'll take her on the phone. That's where they are in the whole spectrum. Yeah. It's just a personal thing that Sean likes. Kind of a fun CSI sort of a situation. Well, those little quirks that make us all unique minus vomit pictures, obviously. But Liam is like, he had like 104 fever when I got home. And so he was just like cooking but he was like pretty normal, just running real hot. And then Chloe didn't wanna go to school which that is a sign that she's very sick. Yeah, she likes school, she likes going. Yeah, like I'm gonna mix Miss Robotics Club. Chloe, you're sick, you got a fever. Well, Miss Robotics Club.  Well, you got your voice back a little bit it sounds like because that was completely shot by Sunday. Yeah. Yeah, it was shot on Saturday. I was worried. And I was like, Sean, do you need me to host on Sunday? And he was like, I already thought you were. And I'm like, oh, well, good then. He's just chugging the hot sauce, trying to kind of bring a little bit of fire back. Yeah. Well, so Saturday, yeah, that was our... You got a catch up on your Super Chats, Adam? There was like three or four of them. Yeah, we were rolling through. You're right. We might as well do a couple Super Chats. Please keep them coming and we'll jump to them every so often. Shot out of a canyon, Daniel Faw earlier with this nice $2 Super Chat. Thank you, Daniel. Adam, any celeb you fanboyed? Same question, Cody. And I imagine now Sean, because this was thrown at us before Sean was here. Oh, Sean's on the move. Oh, Sean's doing stuff. Yeah. Okay, Cody, you had like 15. So why don't you start and I'll kind of, I'll jump off whatever you don't say. I mean, I fanboyed over all of them. The one that I had the best experience with, as far as like actually getting to sit and talk and have a conversation, Juliette Lewis was great to meet, very humble, and she was really fun and told her story about how I saw her from Dustle Dawn when I was six years old. She seemed to get a kick out of that. Ethan Supley was really cool. I talked with him and I even enlightened him to the fact that there was such thing as a butterfly effect three. So that was kind of funny. Who else? I mean, it was really cool.   But yeah, I mean, everybody was cool. I got an autograph from, we got the back to the future picture. That was amazing to start off with, but they're very quick. You don't really get to see them too much. I got a picture with Thelma and Louise, me and Joey. That was really neat. I did meet Gina Davis off to the side too, but she seemed very tired and this was her first con. So I kind of caught her at a bad point of the day. Last picture that we did, you can see Adam in that one. We got to see Mike and Gaten there from Stranger Things. Another picture making it clear that we're all giants. Yes, exactly. What in particular? Juliette Lewis and Danny Trejo there and the comment I keep getting from everybody is, I didn't realize Danny Trejo was so small. I'm like, keep in mind that me and Sean are giant. So then yeah, we got Ethan Supley. Am I here? Am I in? Hey! Yes! Hey! Joey's in the house. We got all four.  I just got done getting my hair done. My girl did a beautiful, beautiful cut. And then I did my relaxer. Cody, remember I was telling you about the curls in the bag?  Yeah. It's gone. No more Charlie on it in here. It's gone. Oh man. Oh, that looks nice. Nice and tight. Hi boys! What's up? How you doing? Oh, I'm doing fantastic. You know, I gotta say I have reflected a lot because I've been texting Cody. I think I've slept like 48 hours in the last day and a half, which it's not possible, but it kind of is. I have not left this bed. And I have thought about a lot of things. And I have to say, Shawn Chandler is still the nicest human I've ever met.  It's just a beautiful thing. Like three, four, five, six.  It really makes me feel good about you. Dude, he's worked this guy. I tell you buddy, what was it, Shawn Saturday, when your voice was just like, gone? He's like, and you still had people coming up to you when you were talking and they just sounded painful. He went to take a picture and I poked fun at him and about killed him because like he went to take a pic and they're like, can we get a picture? And he's like, yeah, that's fun. And I was like, he'll be with you in a second guys and Shawn's keeling over laughing with a sore throat. And I was like, I'm sorry, buddy. I'm sorry. Oh, that was so it was fantastic though. Cody, I'd like those panels, bro. To keep this movie on the fanboy picture. I have a story. I don't even know if you heard this one, Adam. Well, this is what I was gonna say to keep this moving. We'll each just quickly say some of the fanboys. So Cody, you got a ton of pictures. What was the one you were most excited for? Keith David? Yeah, Keith David probably, especially since the first day I got screwed out of meeting him and then I was walking around with Adam and Joey. This is after our last panel. So we're all just kind of- You owe Joey and I kind of a little thank you because- I do. I told my dad this story. So when you look off to the distance and you see Keith David in a different spot next to him was somebody from Star Wars. Must've been from one of the Rebel's shows. I didn't recognize him, but the line was massive. And I was like, there's no way. And Joey and Adam are like, dude, we will stand here with you, go. I get it done. And I'm like, fine. So I walk past and the massive line was actually for the Star Wars chick. And I look over and there's only like three people in line for Keith. And I was like, ah! And so I ran up and got the picture and I paid for the combo where you get the selfie. And I was so starstruck. I walked away and got like 35 feet away before I realized I didn't get the picture. Bro, he was looking good that day. He was looking good. He had a whole bunch of purple on and he was just shining. Yeah, he was. Right like a diamond. He was pimped out. Rihanna, just beautiful. Here we go. Yeah, right there. Oh, that's fantastic.  It just kind of like those little fish that swim next to the shark. I was next to Cody. So I could kind of see the celebrities without having to pay the money. It was a nice little treat for me on Sunday. Sean, who do you got? Who are you going to support? So there's more stories, but the way the universe played out, my little table was next to Greg Cistero, the star of the room, the worst movie ever made. Oh, hi, Mark. He's Mark and his table was right next to mine. So I did finally talk to him as we were breaking our tables down. So it's what it's always tough to talk to someone when there's such an odd thing that they're famous for. What do you talk to them that's not upon descending? I guess, so I took a lie and we'll talk to him, but finally talk to him. But anyway, so we get after Adam leaves, drives home to his family, Joey, Cody and I go out to dinner and I'm like fading, like leaning over. Cody sees me dying. He's like, I think we need to get Sean back to the hotel. So he drives me back to the hotel.  He's like, you know, we're driving you to the hotel or to the airport tomorrow. Like, oh yeah, I can see you tomorrow. Like I'm dead, like hobbling inside. As I'm going to the elevator, I look at and I see Chuck and his crew, the people that ran the stage. And Chuck, I've been doing these with for two years now at Fan Expo as an Equit Fan Expo Megacon that day. So it's kind of like a big last hurrah, say good, I'm sure I'll see him again at something else, but go out to the side and say goodbye, sit down and talk for a few minutes. And then the lady that joined a couple of our panels, I'd better, you know, just at the con, she walks up in a wave and so she walks out with her friend. I turn around and it's awesome. You're missing a piece of the story. You text me before this. The important detail, it's just because I, like really important detail is so forgotten from my brain. But like I walked inside to like grab a drink, went to go pay, realized I didn't have my credit card. And I left my credit card at the restaurant. It's like text Cody, hey Cody, what's the name of the restaurant? I left my credit card at the restaurant, walk outside, sit down, and then Devin walks up with her friend, Austin St. John, the original red power ranger. Wow. And so he just sits there and hangs out with us for two hours.  Man, I've only tried to make money on there. It's tough.  I completely forget about my credit card. I always have my phone on silent. So Cody's called me 50 times like, dude, did you get your credit card? Did you call? Did you try anything? And two hours later I'm like, oh, sorry man. I was hanging out with the red ranger completely forgot about my credit card. So at some point I'm like, okay, I'll be the good friend. I don't know what happened to Sean, but the place closes at 10. It's like 10, 15 at this point. So I walk downstairs and go to the restaurant. Nobody's there. I go, I find security and tell them what happened.  And I don't even know if they're going to give it to me because obviously I'm not Sean Chandler. I don't have any ID. So I tell them the story and luckily they let me have his card. And like five minutes after this, I text Sean, I'm like, I got your card and he calls me and he's like, so, and he just tells me that whole story. And I'm like, that could only happen in real life.  The red ranger. That's unreal. So to answer who you fanboyed out, it's the red ranger. Is that what we're getting at here? Or that's just the story. Well, spending the day with Joey, of course. Week with Joey, of course. That was here in his stories. It was epic, all weekend long, incredible stories.  It was so fun. It's like when people say I'm loud and I genuinely don't believe I am. I just think other people are quiet. I just think that most people use inside voices. I just was never raised that way. I always thought Sean was kind of like the loud extreme one of the three of us. Well, yes.  Somebody have to get a little bit more loud. I had to dial up my energy whenever I started hosting because I was like, I can't let him outshine me here. Because I'm like, yeah, you guys ready? And Joey's like, mega con. Well, I'm like, oh. What did Chuck say to us, Sean?  That's both the beast up, bro. All right. So Joey, did you have anyone specifically that you were excited to meet at mega con? A little Eli Roth maybe or? Yeah, yeah. For me, it was definitely Eli just for the fact that my writing partner, Josh has worked for him. I interned at Blumhouse. He worked for Crip TV when Eli started it. I've DM'd with Eli a few times probably a couple of years ago just telling him, you know thank you for the work. My huge fan grew up idolizing you and that's never really left me. I love Thanksgiving. I think he's made a lot of really interesting choices and I was super excited just to walk up to him and introduce myself properly. But if I'm being honest, fanboy for me is like what do I say? I have to keep it together. And I didn't get to speak to the people I fanboyed over the most who is the entire cast of Entourage. I grew up loving that show. It's a show that made me feel confident about moving to Los Angeles still to this day when my partner Josh and I will have a bad day. We'll throw on any random Entourage episode and part of the fun of loving that show when you're in the industry besides how real and true it is is all the places in LA that you go to regularly that they're at all the time. And it's like, you know what, man? What does success mean?  And I'm getting the car right now and go right where they are. It's five minutes down the road. I go there all the time. Like little things like that. But yeah, I didn't get a chance to go up to any of them. I didn't know it was their first time doing any convention whatsoever, which I think is super dope that they're doing it. I wish that show would be, I don't even want to say rebooted, just continued. Like that's a show that to me, there doesn't need to be a through line of the story. Like it's a show that can just keep going based on the changes in the industry.  I do not, I do not understand what people want because that movie is the, it's just, it is the show. It's three episodes of the show. It's the best version that that movie could have been. I didn't have a problem with the movie. I just think it was kind of forgettable. I think people were expecting it to be a little bit more extreme, you know? But instead it really was a continuation. So if you were a fan, I don't think people were really upset. I think it's just the, you know, the people outside of the fan base were expecting maybe something a bit more movie like unless like it'd be serious. But I thought it was fine. For me, it was a show that, you know, again, like moments in your life, you'll never forget. I'll never forget the, I think it was season six finale when Eminem comes on. I was getting ready to go and see his, the first time I was going to see him in concert. I've been a lifelong diehard Eminem fan. I was going to go to the Bronx with my family to go see the home and home tour of him and Jay-Z. That was a legendary moment. Of course, he's on my favorite show, doing the best cameo ever. Like that was an amazing moment. And then being able to go and see the movie at the Arclight in LA was huge. I watched that show all of my teenage years up through high school. Now I'm living in LA pursuing my dream and I'm seeing the movie in the, where the opening credits are. Like it just was like a lot of life imitating art that was really dope for me. But they were, they were super great from everything I heard from people. And I would have loved an opportunity just to talk with the stranger things cast more just because the Netflix family, you know, it just gives you, just gives you an end just to say, you know, you never know who you could know. Cause I know people in the scripted world as well as unscripted and, you know, God bless all those kids, man, cause they have done very well for themselves. And hopefully they are smart with their money. Well, much like you, I was a little bummed out because who I was looking forward to see the most were the Back to the Future cast members. And I was not there Thursday to again, Cody Leach off of Cody Leach. I think you ponied up for that photo shoot. Oh, by the way, I have to thank Cody again because this man just was a, this man, there is nothing Cody Leach cannot do. He is a husband. He is a father. He is a YouTuber. He is a master chef.  We got pictures with Thelma and Louise. We got back. I'm like, Cody Leach, my God. Like this man, he set up everything. He made me look so cool to my family with that Back to the Future picture. And that was all Cody Leach. Get hats off to Cody Leach all day long. Yeah, those guys. I got to be like part time escort for Joey as we're walking around trying to find like tables every five seconds. Like, I completely forgot about this. My boy Clint, who got us in for the Stranger Things picture, mad quick. Oh yeah. That was awesome. That was hilarious. So with these photo shoots, you can have up to four people join your party. So Cody got those guys into the Back to the Future shoot on Thursday and I didn't go down until Friday. And I noticed there's only three people in that photo. So I could have been in that photo which made me even more annoyed. I expected you to be until Sean's like, Adam's not here until tomorrow. And I was like, whoa. I should have drove down earlier. I didn't know. And that's on me. But I'm very happy for you guys and definitely not bitter about it at all. Cody did step up though on that Stranger Things. We got the, who were the two young men, the two young gentlemen we were with? Finn Wolfhard and Gaten Matizaro, I believe it was last night. I had you say, because I can never say it. I know if I won't remember. Yeah, there you go. Mike and Dustin. That was a shoot where it kind of works like the FastPass system now at Disney where you have to get in a virtual queue after you get a spot. So Cody bought the photos and then they said you have to get in line at this time which was like three or four o'clock. So we get in the line and then you, it was a long line. So we would have probably waited there a good hour and because Joey knows every freaking person on the planet, he just happened to run into a guy who were in line right away and the guy's like, oh, you can come into the VIP section and Cody's like, what? And Joey goes, yeah, yeah, we're fine, we're fine. We're all going. And so we all- And three of us are like, are we about to get in trouble? Are we getting kicked out of the con? No. It's like another Uber situation. I don't think we can fit, but yeah, we went past all of them and got in right away and what a magical experience. You go in there, the two guys who look like they're about three feet tall and 10 years old, they're perfectly nice. I think we didn't talk to them. They're like, boom, you're in, smile, and then you're out.  I always say something. I got in a lot of trouble the last year. We got this, I can't take it down from the wall, but we got a picture with the whole screen cast plus Henry Winkler. And that was my first photo ops.   No, you get there and they're like, next, pop, next, pop.  Okay, yes ma'am. So next I go up, I face the camera, Matthew Lillard grabs my shoulder and pops off to the side, which for a second I'm like, Matthew Lillard touching my shoulders is pretty awesome. And then they pop the photo and immediately I turn around to Jamie Kennedy and I'm like, you've been X and he goes, yes. And they're like, leave it. So the security was like, I said like three words and they're like, you're breaking the rules. So no matter what.  No matter what, I get my moments. Yeah, whenever we got up next to the two stranger kids, I went over to gate and I was like, this would be a good spot for one of your prank encounters. And he's like, yeah, it would be. And then they popped the picture and my stomach was in knots after me and Joey took the picture with Thelma and Louise because as fast as they always are, this was like hyperdrive to where the person in front of us, like maybe three people in front of us, there was these two guys that actually stopped and was talking with Susan Saranen and Gina Davis for like a good look.  Like, yes, I have to smile.  Like you don't want to be those guys. So we literally walk up and I stand on the X and I said, how are you doing ladies? And as I turn this way, like as my head hits this spot, the flash goes off.  And then I go to walk out and like me and Joey are walking in and like, he's like, that was cool. And I'm like, and I'm like, dude, I think I blinked. Like, I don't even think I was looking at the camera. And so I asked the lady. I'm like, if this picture is fucked, can I take another one? Like a lot of money. And she goes, oh yeah, just get back in line. So luckily it turned out great. They must be like- Just back in line. It's like, wait, he never did it. Well, no, like, yeah, get right back to the curtain line. But they must be like, that woman who was taking the picture must have been like the terminator. Because I'm telling you, like as soon as my eyes locked with the camera, she said, pop next. And- I still can't believe it turned out like that, man. And I'm someone who's done so many conventions. I've never done photo ops before. And it is very impressive how it's a convention within a convention. It is so many people and it is an assembly line. Like they are moving you, they got everything. They got the frames to get your stuff right then and there. It was really dope. And I thought it was kind of dope and in retrospect that Gaten and Finn were just standing there with us because other people were not. You know what I mean? Like that was cool. They didn't have any sort of barrier whatsoever, which is nice. Yeah. It was especially cool when me and Sean jumped in to get the from Dustle Dawn photo. So it was Juliette Lewis and Danny Trejo because that was the only line where me and Sean were among like 10 people that paid for that photo op. And so that among the fact that Juliette and especially Danny, you just expect them to probably be among the more humble people in Hollywood. And so they actually like, that was loose. And that was like, we got to shake their hand and kind of get into position and joke around for a few seconds. And I put my arm around Juliette and she's like, oh, I guess we're getting in close. And my dad's like at least five times because I've got a picture signed for him. That's his woman. And he's like, what got your hands on my woman? And I'm like, took my shot, man. I took my shot. I want to jump through these last couple of super chats quick. This is from Master Sergeant for 50 damn dollars. This guy was awesome. All of 2023 has been a huge supporter. Thank you, Master Sergeant. Excuse the absence. Been dealing with clients who can't quite get the simple. Don't even know what you and your bearded dude are talking about. This was from a lot earlier in the stream. What the Adam show must survive.  Thank you, sir. Always awesome. Appreciate it. And the bearded dude is Cody. We got Joey. We got Sean. Joey's starting a YouTube channel. I don't think he's done it yet. You can go subscribe. I have an existing account that somehow has almost 2,000 followers that I did shorts on and whatnot. But yeah, dude, I'm just gonna start dropping some stuff on there as we speak. Cody finally started watching the Premiere Pro tutorial videos today since I've been in bed. Because I've been using Cap Cut, which is very well pushed on TikTok. But my God, I have to learn the Premiere Pro world and it is a lot. For those of you watching might not be that surprised. I'm not the most technologically advanced smart human out there. I tend to be the guy that says put the camera on me. Don't let me operate the camera. So we're getting ahead in life. 2024 is gonna be interesting moving forward. It's a lot Premiere, but it's very much just aggressive. There's only really like three things you need to know how to do. And once you get those down, you just need to know the cut tool. It's the Swiss Army knife and you just need the knife. I just need to learn how to randomly push in on myself at weird times and I'll be happy. So I'm gonna learn that. We'll see what happens. Yeah, that's great. Okay, impressive Tony. He was at the mega con event for 99. Thank you, sir. Hey fellas, this is the guy you hung out with Sean on Friday, right? It was great hanging with you all. Thanks for being willing to give small timers like me the time of day. It really means a lot. You're not a small timer, Tony. You're just getting started on YouTube. It takes a million years to get even like a decent following. And as Joey will tell you, entertainment in general can take half of your life to even get started. It takes a very long time, Tony. You're doing great, buddy. Thank you, bud. I spent the day hanging out with him Friday. That was fun.  That's awesome. All right, Tony. And we had very expensive salad from the hotel gift store. Yeah, very expensive salad. The prices at mega con and everywhere around there were Disney slash Universal Studios prices. It was like $10 for a fruit parfait at a coffee shop. It was a good parfait.   This guy, I don't know how you're living right now. I don't know how you live. How are you living right now? He was picking fingers the other day. He really did. He had a... We woke up and we're walking the panel and he's got a Coke that's like a third full. Where did that come from? Have you been nursing that Coke for 48 hours? Like, yeah, yeah, what's the problem? At midnight, he was popping Pringles in his mouth.  Yeah. The story I always remember about Sean and his taste and when I realized he was gonna be in a different world when I started cooking is when he came to Georgia and the first thing he gets is one of those really awful special edition Cokes where it's like Coke universe, Black Edition or whatever. Oh, it's hot. I'm like, what is that? And he takes a sip and he's like, I think it's licorice or it's like, it's some awful flavor. Oh, oh, oh. He somehow finishes it and later on during the vacation, like maybe two or three days later, we end up in an outmarted game and he gets another one. And I was like, you said it was awful. And he just gets another one. Well, at one point he offered us mints and then he dropped one on the ground at Megacon. And he's like, oh, five second rule. I'm like, yeah, but 130,000 people just stepped on this. And then I thought, what has he been offering me that has dropped on the ground and he just put back? Anyway, we got the- When we were waiting in line for the picture also, I'd been just popping mints like an attic and then you fed me fries and a mouthful of mints. And you're like, what's the price? So I'm eating fries and mints at the same time. Just double-fisting different types of foods. Oh my God.  But he doesn't know how to use it because they put the nuts on top and it's a tray and you pour it in. And he's like, what is this? He didn't really understand. I go, okay, here's how it works, Sean. You take this out and you just pour it in. And it was like a nice teaching moment, I think for both of us. A lot of good bonding. Okay, we got one off the beaten path. Tony Movie, Chappy. Tony Movie, Chappy. We missed you this year. Neil Blomk, this is all a name. Tony Movie, Chappy, D9, Neil Blomk. Just call him Tony Chappy, that's what we call him. Tony Chappy. Tony Movie, Chappy, yeah. We met him at Megacon the last two years, but he wasn't there this year. I feel comfortable calling him the entire name every single time. 499 Super Chat, thoughts on Argyle, bombing at the box office with a $200 million budget. I didn't realize it bombed at the box office. When it happens, it happens. I don't know, it doesn't surprise me. It looked like a very quirky movie just from the trailer. It's Matthew Vaughn. He does not appeal to, I don't think, a mass amount of people. He's very hit or miss. And I just, with that big of a budget, yeah, it's a tough sell for anyone. It's a new property. It had a very weird vibe in that. And I liked that trailer a lot, but I could see why it bombed. I didn't see anything from the trailer or anything, but yeah, to piggyback on what you said, look at man, it's really hard to put asses in seats. Today we know that. I mean, it breaks my heart that every person in my life, that's not, a film person is like, I don't wanna go to the theater and I'm like, stop it.  It's impossible to get to the theater. So while all of us love the theater and want things to continue to be open, obviously, I do think that I try to find the positive about things like streaming. And that, to me, is where a film like Our Gal can really thrive and find an audience that's gonna watch it on a Friday or Saturday where I personally don't know his deal. I don't know if that's with Warner's or, you know, I think- It's Apple. It's Apple. Yeah, it's Apple. Which is even more funny that you say that because Apple is the streaming service, but they put it in the theaters first. Well, they're getting ready to open Apple Cinemas. I don't know if you guys know about that, which is gonna be sort of a new chain. And it makes sense just because they're in that business now for things like, let's say, awards season. We know it has to play theatrically. It used to be, let's put it in a couple theaters in LA. So film nerds like me will go and then, you know, put it online. But yeah, I'm not huge on Matthew Vaughn. I've liked a few of his things, but that's $200 million. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money for a film like that to where you have to question again, okay, probably at least 100 was put into P&A. So you got to hit 300 mil to just break even, let's say, and shoot that. Word of mouth is not gonna help that movie either because on the trailer, you put the stars like Dua Lipa and, you know, you got Superman, Henry Cavill and they're only in the movie for five minutes. People are gonna find that out and they're gonna bounce. That's the thing, right? With dreaming to where I'm surprised more filmmakers don't embrace it from the standpoint of, if you're a director, the stakes are high at all points in time, especially as being a director.  You could make the best movie of the year. It could be considered a classic. If it didn't make money, you are screwed. So I'm surprised more filmmakers are not aiming for streaming in a larger capacity just because even if it bombs, those numbers are hidden. It still looks like you are killing it because you have a new big budget release on a streamer that's worldwide. So, you know, hats off to Matthew Vaughn and his team for making a $200 million film. That's a huge accomplishment. I'm sure it's a rough start to the week for them but hopefully the film can find a life after the actual run is over. Oh, yeah, it'll be interesting to see if that does anything to his new deal with Kick-Ass because I know he was gonna be doing a new Kick-Ass trilogy. Hopefully it doesn't, you know, assault that. But yeah, I mean, I think $200 million for that movie was always an insane budget. It could never be profitable on that. I mean, it's just, there's no way to justify that quirky of a movie, that genre. There's no history that would make it, that number make any sense. Right. Slight other side to it, it is designed as an exclusive for Apple TV. So, I don't think it's quite as one to one of a, it has to make all of its money in one place but I mean, there's also no way of spending, you spent $200 million and that's a big hole. They've been losing a lot of money on these exclusives too. They did Killers of the Flower Moon, which I'm pretty sure kind of bombed at the box office but then to your point on that. Once again, because of the $200 million budget, yep. Right, but I think to your point, there's pedigree there with that. You know, it's an Oscar winning film. It's got all these Academy Award winning actors. But with Matthew Vaughn's movie, I don't know the play. Is it to drive people to Apple Plus? Would people even drive there for that? Cause you didn't make it an exclusive. It was still in theaters. I don't know. It remains to be seen what some of these things mean at the end of the day. I think Apple is just throwing money at directors to try to get talent. And it's like they did it with the Russos and Cherry, Scorsese, now this. And because they're selling up phones, they're able to do that, but their actual films are profitable. Right, right. They're doing the Netflix thing from years ago. They're just gonna throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. Shane Lee, $88 for $5. Thank you, Shane Lee. Hi guys, sounds like an awesome time. I've never been. We're in Indiana about two hours from Chicago. So I'll have to see if any cool cons are coming up. I'm sure Sean, I think is the con guy. I don't know if Cody is the one that like, do you do any of that stuff? Or is it really Sean that kind of talks to the folks? Sean's been all over the place as far as traveling to do the cons. I've only been to mega con the last three years, but I'm going to, I'm kind of trying to broaden my horizons. I'm going to Mad Monster in North Carolina next weekend, assuming that we continue our working relationship with Chuck. Now that he's moved, he's brought up a totally separate con that is not just Orlando, it's all over the place. So very possible that I'll start to travel around more, but I'm mega cons my only experience so far. If there's one in Indiana, you'll hear it from one of these guys. I don't, at this point in time, I'm just, if I get invited by one of these two fools or Joey, if he's doing them, I will gladly go, but I'm not actively looking at any of that stuff. Owen Menin for $5. Thank you, Owen. Hey, I'm a fan of everyone here. I was wondering if you all had a movie from 2023 that you enjoyed, but most people didn't. Ooh. I feel like that's most things, right? Like, I don't know. I feel like most people don't enjoy anything for the most part.  I'm not even talking about online, just like in general, no one's ever happier than anything. So I have to really think on that. Well, if we gauge it off, say, an aggregate, like Rotten Tomatoes, I think The Boys in the Boat was a Rotten overall or it was just barely fresh if it was. I really liked that movie. That was a top 10 for me. And I know it's kind of a lame cliche film, but when we live in a world where everything is trying to be so extreme and look at me in different, I thought The Boys in the Boat was an awesome 80s, 90s callback to just dudes putting in the work and fighting for their school and getting it done. It's based on a true story. It was incredibly inspirational and I'm a sucker for a based on a true story. I think that was one that was kind of shat on because it was just kind of paint by numbers, but I don't know, I'm a sucker for it. I didn't really have one that was like a, like hot take level, but one that was, I noticed was significantly higher on my like end of year ranking than pretty much anybody else that I saw was Infinity Pool, which was Brandon Cronenberg's new movies. David Cronenberg's son, his last movie possessor kind of got a lot of festival attention. Infinity Pool, 2023 ended up being one of those years where there was so many just bland, meaningless blockbuster experiences that I tended to gravitate more by the end of the year to movies that made me feel something like Iron Claw or made me think or stuck with me in some way. And Infinity Pool just really stuck with me with how clever it was with discussing like the lack of accountability of the elite and just a really wacky wild macabre concept to kind of discuss that. So I dug that one more than a few ones. It's one of the few ones I didn't see this last. I'll have to check it out. It's on my list. Sean, you got one? I mean, I guess I'll go with one that's pretty mainstream, but the Flash, I mean, a lot of people... Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it certainly had its fans.  A lot of people just felt it was very mid. And some of that I get, some of that I feel was, you know, they did want to support Ezra Miller, fair enough. Some of it I think is people locking in on the superficial, like the VFX were terrible, but that's one element of a film. It's inexcusable at that budget, but it's just one element. But as I've said in my reviews and many other times, I latched on to the story. My dad died when I was 20. So a story about someone with the power to save someone that died in the past, that's compelling and interesting in a way that just resonated with me. And that Batman 89, that was my Batman. As a first movie, I really remember seeing in the theater as so much of my childhood. So the nostalgia worked and I connected with the actual plot for it. So, yeah, that's still for me.  There's no, you know, yeah, you had reasons for it.  But let me ask you guys, was Pearl 2023? Yeah. Was it 2022? Exxon, Pearl came out the same year, believe it or not. Which is wild. It was that long ago? It doesn't feel like 2022 was that far away, but yeah, it was wild to think of some movies. And I was like, yeah. Pearl was pretty late in the year though, right? That was close to the end of the year. Well, I can't remember that thing I was asking because I saw Pearl at like, not a friends and family screening, but like industry friends type screening. I have a friend who works at A24 and they invited me to this hotel in West Hollywood for a screening. And it was probably too, Cody, I think I was texting you, right? Was I texting you at that time? Probably, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Pearl was mid September. So it was decently late in the year. Yeah. I mean, I'm just, Pearl just comes to mind cause I feel like I didn't hear a lot about that besides people who really love film. And it was, that was a real surprise. I thought Ty West was made some really interesting choices in taking it in such a different direction than he did ex. And that monologue that Mia got has is just amazing in that wonder he does with the chase and the girl from the house. And I walked up to him after the screening cause I mean, but he was like ready. He was rehearsing ready knowing the questions people were going to ask. He was like, six takes. We did six takes, we added six takes. I was like, oh, six takes. All right, that answers that. Well, have a good night, man. But yeah, Pearl was one that I think is going to get a lot of love down the road when people find that movie.  Yeah, especially if Maxine hits. Yeah, Maxine, I mean, look at who knows what to expect at this point, but I just feel like he's really leaning into the errors he's taking his stories in. So I'm hoping for a sweaty, sleazy, grimy 80s, you know, 80s, whatever type of film he's going to give us. It's going to be great. Yeah, I can't wait. That's my most anticipated so far. And last one here from Colin Williams, 499. Thank you, Colin. Never would have expected this crew paired with Joey. Loved him on the circle. What in the multiverse is this? I love it. I think we all do. Colin was the one that told me I had to invite you, Adam. And then he, yeah, we did not see him at the convention. And it turns out he also missed out on you, Joey. He would have been excited for that too. Thank you, Colin. Colin, everything you wanted. Colin, Sean did everything for you. You let him, you betrayed me. Everything for you personally, Colin. And then you didn't show up. God's out in the rain. He slid his wrists. He's like, Colin! He just pulled down the shades and went to bed, man. All right, thank you guys for the super chats. I only remember where we were at on our wrap up. We were just starting Saturday. Your daddy, it was just starting Saturday. Okay, so Saturday, Cody's on no sleep. He thinks to, the guy below me. I don't know what you're talking about. I remember waking him up and I was like, hey, I'm getting ready to leave because I was going to get there for the first panel. And I was like, you don't have to be there until four. And he's like, all right, just go to sleep. That's right. So yes, they got no sleep. Old man Sean and old man Adam are already cooked on Saturday night. I think we were both laying in our separate beds at like 8.30. And Sean's like, oh, what I like to do now is just watching practical jokers for a couple of hours and fall asleep. And that's exactly what we did. We just watched. We went to bed, Sean's passed out because of all the sugar he's had and everything else. And yeah, it was, it was fine. It was a fine. Pringles poured on my face. Yeah, Pringles all over. A dog from outside came in and ate it off his chest and walked out. And so we get, oh my God. So we get up and get going and we have the first panel. Sean had a panel at 10, The Stranger Things panel. And another thing about Saturday is I did like four hours straight of the meet and greet. So he did the panel, four hours of meet and greet. And my voice was already shot Saturday morning from screaming on all the roller coasters Friday night. And so I'm like, I'm dying and we have two more panels the next day. Wait, Cody, did you say The Stranger Things one was Sunday? Yeah, Saturday is the only day that we had one. We did the comic book movie, Bubble Burst. I'm, you're again, the most responsible one. And you remember the most out of all of us. All right, so Saturday we just had the, was it one o'clock or four o'clock? I don't remember, four o'clock? One. One o'clock. One o'clock. Everything I say is incorrect. I don't know why anybody watches my channel. One o'clock we had the comic book thing before that. I don't, I don't actually know what the hell I was doing or what anybody was doing. We just kind of wandering around the mean streets of Megacon. Did you guys have anything had before the panel happened? No, not before. That's where I had the plan to show up to just pounce on Keith David's table before anybody was allowed inside. And then, you know, we had our very early morning bedtime. So I showed up, you know, 30, 40 minutes before the panel started. That was the beginning of my day. That's right. Yeah, so the panel, that was the comic book one where Sean, this was fantastic. So this, okay, so Bevin is there. I really liked this lady, first of all. She's with Tooby, I guess. She has a show coming out called Beverages with Bevin. So that's what they're pushing. And apparently she was supposed to be on a bunch of panels but got bumped or they didn't work out. So then Chuck asked Sean if she could just randomly be in his. And so the comic book one, she was also set to just kind of show up in. And so Sean halfway through bumps me from the panel.   It was kind of a weird dynamic, but it worked. It worked out and that panel was, well, I would say the horror one was more fun but that was actually really fun, that panel. And we had a lot of people show up. Every single one of the panels. That was the biggest day of the con, significantly bigger than the other three.  You couldn't even walk around in that place. And every panel was filled and we had people kind of like lined up in a half moon around it, which was just fantastic. What happened after that? I blacked out somewhere along this. After that, we pretty much just, we did our meet and greets. I don't think Sean was allowed to move because that was his premiere panel. So Mia, you and Joey were there like chatting for a bit and film stock was there for a bit. And then he went off with his girlfriend and then. Oh, that's right. I met the youth of today. So the young movie critics that are kind of rising up and kind of some of them are way more famous than us on TikTok and Andrew, this kid was so freaking talented. He is in his mid twenties, I think he does a lot of TikToks and YouTube shorts and he has a podcast and he knows magic. So he's just brand. Did you see this Cody and Joey? I don't think you saw this. I didn't. I heard about it. I threw it through you and I didn't see any of it. I recognize him for TikTok though. Find where the video is. I wanna post that on one of my channels. I filmed it. I'll send it to you. Just remind me. So he's, we're standing around. Sean's has a line of like 20 people that wanna talk to him. And I'm talking to these three young kids and I feel like the oldest person in the world but we're having a good rapport. And Andrew out of nowhere just busts out a deck of cards and he's definitely in them. And he's like, hey, I'll do some tricks. And my mind is completely blown. It's leaking out of my ears. So I forced him to kind of like show Sean it and we film it and it was fantastic. And then I realized that Sean is now we're gonna leave the table and he's there until 7.45 I think. And it's only like 4.45. So I just kind of leave and I start making my way around. And one of the fans on my channel, Jan Rose, who's awesome. I met her just a few weeks ago with her husband, Jonathan. She's like, hey, you wanna grab dinner? And I was like, this is perfect. This couldn't have been more perfect. And I kept once in a while looking at my phone to see if Sean remembered me and nothing was happening, nothing was happening. And then right on cue at 7.45 is like, where are you? He got done out of his creator mode.  Is he lost? Well, it was the top of the conversation between me and Sean, cause we didn't know where you went. And he's like, I hope he like enjoyed himself and then he gets back to the hotel and Sean's like, well, his stuff is still here. So I guess he didn't just like say, well, they blew out of dodge. Yeah. He's like, we offended you somehow. Like we don't know. You're like very volatile or like, he didn't fake me two times after the panel when I'm out of here. I'm not coming back for Sunday. It's called me for Bevin. Yeah, I thought we were having a good time.  No, yeah. I made a beeline straight for Julia at Lewis's table cause my convention staple is that every single one that I go to, I bring back one autograph for my father. Cause he's the one that got me into movies just as much of a movie fame. Well, maybe not quite as much. I've taken it to a psycho level, but he's the one that got me into movies and a lot of our favorite movies are the same. And so every year I always kind of give him a rundown of who's going to be there. And there's, I can usually tell by the way he perks up by one of them this year by a landslide. He's, I said, Julia, oh, that's my girl. And I was like, well, there, that's easy decision. So I beeline to her table to make sure I got an autograph for him. And that was pretty cool. I told her about how I saw from Dustle Dawn. My dad took me when I was six years old and she had a big reaction to that. And Ethan Supley oddly enough is her brother-in-law, which I knew, but she's talking to me. And then he comes up and he's like, I'm leaving, I'll see you later. So they go off and have a sidebar conversation while I patiently wait and be like, this is cool. Meanwhile, Koi, who's a guy that we know who's standing by Sean does all these panel interviews, comes up while they're doing that. And he's just like, have a good con. Like he's waiting for like Kerry Elwes or something. That's the name that's all perfectly.  What are you waiting for?  I guess this was right before he got pulled into Kerry Elwes' tent. So he told us that. I had no idea that Ethan Supley and Julia Lewis were there was his brother lost. Yeah, Ethan Supley is married to Julia Lewis' sister.  Never knew that. Wow. Yeah, I knew that because every time I get into one of these lines, I always pull up like Wikipedia. And I always try to find some obscure movie that I know nobody else is going to talk about because you don't want to be the 10,000 person. Be like, I loved you and back for the future. It's like, yeah, you and everybody else next. Right. So I always try to find. What did you say to I always? I always forget her name. Sons of Anarchy actress. OK, he's a girl. He's a girl. What we like? What was like? Smart house. Smart house. Yeah. I loved you in smart house.  Anyone who is out there, if you got Disney Plus, go down to Disney Channel original movie Wormhole. Smart house is definitely in the top. It is fantastic. I love your straight to straight to TV, straight to cable movie for kids. Smart house. That's amazing. It was awesome. They genuinely the truth. I didn't even have to search for that one. I knew when I got there, I'm like, I'm like, I'm literally predicted the future without realizing because there are many smart homes today. So there are way ahead of the kids.  I was I was smart house. I've seen it. It's it's a really disappointed. I was disappointed when you for those that haven't been to a con. When you go up to somebody's table, they have a collection of photographs that you can use for autographs unless you bring your own. And it's basically, you know, usually a greatest hits of their career. And so I figured, oh, obviously, smart house is going to be on there. Nowhere to be found. It's nowhere to be found. No, I was disappointed. So it's a smart house is wild. I ended up getting Gemma because that's, you know, very easy second choice there. But it was basically sons of anarchy or married with children. But yeah, she she signed in my picture and I was like, I love you for sons of anarchy. I'm a big fan. My father's a big fan. My wife's a big fan. But you are royalty in my household is Pat from a smart house. And she's like, oh, really? That's really cool. And I could hear Adam laughing because he's standing next to me.  I cannot believe you said that. Like, this is because again, I'm just the fish next to Cody getting close to the celebrities and not five feet from me. I could have reached out and touched her. Marissa Tomei just standing there in all her beautiful glory. And it was just it was just sad being being right next to her. But I couldn't say anything, you know, didn't look like she had a like because you guys are walking around earlier. Later, did it look like she had like a lot of a lot of people? Marissa didn't shockingly. Like when we were there and we only had enough time for one. And so me and Adam, I was like, well, I'll get in Katie Segal's line because it either looks like she's getting ready to wrap up or she hasn't gotten started yet. They were like literally putting the plexiglass up for Marissa. And she had like three people moseying around her line. And then so there was no line there that time.  And the guy, Corey, who came and talked with all of us basically after every panel said that her line looked like it was kind of dead by comparison most of the time, which is kind of surprising.  Because a lot of people have audiences that make sense for a convention like this. But I mean, you're talking Marissa Tomei. She's a classy actress, like a real classy actress. And that, you know, I get the Spider-Man thing is the thing that gets her there. But it could be hard to make that translate to, you know, to everyone. That's so funny. I really forgot about the Spider-Man. I don't even think about her when it comes.  That's clear. Yes. OK, so that was Saturday. Am I? I have no idea what's happening. Sean, that was Saturday. That's when we watched our impractical joke. Yeah. Yeah. You see, you skipped it. That's why I tried to rewind. And then Cody, Cody, he got us back on track. But yeah, you tried to skip straight to the impractical jokers, me eating candy all night long. He'd hold a bag of gummy bears. I love that Sean has become this impractical joker's person, too, because I indoctrinated him into that club. He told me that you introduced him to impractical jokers, because I, too, had no idea what it was. So, really, you turned two people onto impractical jokers. I had two priorities when he stayed with me, is that Sean's going to watch The Lost Boys for the first time and Sean's going to watch Rutterless, which was a movie I've been trying to get into. You've never seen The Lost Boys? Until two years ago. Two years ago, yeah. And Adam this morning. Joey, saxophone. I watched it this morning for the first time. How? I know. Like, I know. Wait, OK, this is impressive. What did you think? I loved it. It's great, right? Like, it's all good. I mean, obviously it's schlocky. It's campy, but I like that stuff. I'm a huge fan of the Goonies. It reminded me of the Goonies. Keeper's great in this. I like how he keeps repeating the character's name, Michael. Over it, I was like, Michael, what are you doing, Michael? Where are you going, Michael? Like, you know his name? Keeper Sutherland really had a thing. Like, I always talk about when I was a kid watching movies, it's my favorite period of life, because movies, like, they felt exactly like the filmmakers wanted you to feel when watching them, like, you buy everything. Keeper Sutherland was just the scariest human, as through my eyes, because every movie in it, he was the villain.  So I just... I wish I could have watched that movie with you today for the first time. That's my favorite thing, is my girl hasn't seen a lot of movies, so I show her a lot, and it's more fun to be able to watch it with her, just because she's taken in for the first time. Yeah, and you watch them more than you watch the movie. I mean, I think we can all agree that that's the best part about having kids, is you introduce some of the movies that you love, and you just kind of peek over when you know, like me with you on the ride, when I waved to you, because I'm so excited for you to experience it. And, yeah, Lost Boys was a lot of fun. Corey Feldman, so good in that. I love how his voice is deeper in that film.  Joel Schumacher is an exact quote, because I saw some behind the scenes stuff. He literally told me, he's like, that was really good.  Did he say that? That's great. So that's where you get the gravelly, like, the American way. Yeah, that's awesome. So good. Yeah, Lost Boys, that was a fun way to start the morning. I'm going to try to do that more often, and just kick into gear with the movie I haven't seen. Taxi Driver's on my list. That's one of the other, like. Wait, what? Yeah, that's one of the, like I've seen Scarface, Godfather, but Taxi Driver's one that I've just never seen, and I got it on my list for this year for sure. Oh, I'm so, I'm so happy for you. Your life is going to get so much better this year. That's great. So many references I will be able to appreciate now. That's where you talking to me came from? Yeah, exactly. Oh, I did know that. But after Sargent, we got one more from him. $5, thank you, Master Sargent. I'll be here for 2024. Keep blasting trash and loving film, while secretly harboring the greatest of Zax. Zax Snyder in your heart, yes. It is a deep secret, a very deep secret. Again, I will always respect his beautiful 300. 300 to me was a phenomenal movie that was so different than anything else. Dawn of the Dead is great. One of the better remakes that ever came out. And then from there, it's just kind of a steady downhill decline, in my opinion. But there's still some decent stuff in the mix. We got one more from Perm for $10. Thank you, Perm, a big support of the channel. Sub guys just wanted to join in on the fun here, having a great time listening to the stories. Wish I could have been a fly on the wall. Please share any of the funny side stories and highlights. Yeah, we're doing it, as long as I can remember Saturdays. I got one for this. OK. Let's hear it.  I am the guy that's just throwing me up there. Tell me what you're doing. Is this the horror panel, your time, folks? Yeah, this is the horror panel. And I know where he's going to have fun. Everyone's good people, everything.  Yeah, for the hot takes. Oh my god, remind me when Joey's done, because I'll forget that I have a great Sean Chandler story from hot takes, if Joey doesn't do it. So I'm sitting there, and I've been looking. Dad of me and you had been going back and forth on stage having a great time.  I've seen his face many times.  He probably says, oh, fuck, that's where I know him from. Never dawned on me once that I'm with Cody and Sean. And Adam probably does YouTube, because I didn't know before and I just met her. So I'm like, I don't know what's happening. And I've realized I have been watching your reviews for quite a long time. Oh, that's awesome. There is a difference when you see someone in person that you register different in your mind. Like does everyone know that Cody Leach is seven foot two? You would never know it. But he's a very tall man. Yeah, that was the one thing that I think every single person that knew us said, like, did you guys know you're really tall? No, no, no, no, no. The camera takes away about a foot and a half. The funniest thing from the hot takes was, and Joey had the greatest reaction to my hot take, which was just for fun. But Sean presented it. He said, I want you guys to each give me a movie you want to see remade. And I picked Battlefield Earth, notoriously one of the worst films of all time. Terrible story. It's just bad. It's just bad. And Joey was louder than anyone.  You haven't trashed. There's no way to make it good. I said, Joey, can I finish? The director is Christopher Nolan. The main actor is David Gabriel.  I turned the corner for you. I just never even imagined anything close to greatness associated with that film. Now, side note, Quentin Tarantino apparently has been a huge Battlefield Earth defender since it came out. He's like, get it. Of course he has. Everyone's going to have to.  But my god, that movie starring DiCaprio from Nolan, what would it be? Yeah, well, it was a big piece. It could be anything. I want to see it. But then Sean somehow ups the ante with the worst take, not only of the panel, but of the complete mega-con existence. He goes, all right, I think it's time. We have the technology. I want to see you back to the future remake. Everyone's pissed. There's not a smile in the room. A woman in the front row goes, the original cast is right over there. There's people that are like, why Vess? They're all excited to see the cast. And Sean has the audacity to say remake. The added layer of audacity. It's like, yeah, we know they're there. We literally were behind them 24 hours ago. You got to give Sean Chen the respect where it's deserved because, look at, I'm the guy who knows when the crowd's going to turn on me. It could affect me just a little bit. This man kept a smile on his face and doubled down that this movie needs a remake. Do I understand it? No, does anyone else know? But in his sweet little heart, he truly believes it. And you know what? He's got something for it. He's got this 300-gilled-out. He's like, hold, hold. There was like a level of masochism in it, too, because he has this like the bomb sauce all over these chicken fenders. And he's like, if the events transpire where the crowd thinks I have the hottest take, then I'll punish myself. And then he just doubles, triples down like, oh, nobody's beating this. And so he just comes up with a game like, I'm just going to sentence myself to pain. And we get to the point of the show where it's like, we're going to do that, like put the hand over the head. Who had the hottest take? And I don't even think Sean got past one person.  And they're like, yeah! I mean, Sean was really turning in to Keeper Sutherland in real time. He was in the bill and he's sweating like crazy. I think I looked over at him in the earring in his ear. He took the first bite during the first round, the tooth truce and a lie or whatever. And I just looked over to my right at him at one point and he's trying to like, I can tell he's really focused on trying to hold it together. And he's got, he's got a tear trail where his tears have been coming. And I was literally like, I was, if there was, the microphones weren't so great at picking up sound, I was going to be like, you want me to take over for a round? Like I could, I could pull it, but I just kept watching and waiting for the breaking point. It never came. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I completely forgot about the, no one asked you to do this. But we forgot about the waiters who literally had beef with Sean Chandler at the end for not liking sour cream. Do you remember that? Like he was like, it was two fold. So this is Sunday night. We're skipping over just a bit because I don't even forget. So Sunday night, Adam's already been gone. Me, Joey and Sean are at this restaurant at the, in the lobby of me and Joey's hotel. And so we're ordering food and I get nachos for the table. And she's like, do you want sour cream? And I'm like, Joey, do you like sour cream? He's like, whatever dude. And I go, Sean, do you like sour cream? And he's like, And it was not, yes, sir. So I knew there was like a version of no. Dude, he was talkative. He was searching his soul for an answer. So I say no. And she like immediately judges Sean. And then she comes back to get his order and he orders a burger and she goes, how do you want it cooked? And Sean's perplexed. He's like, I didn't order a steak. What does that mean? He goes, what the normal people would say? And she goes, she looks like, she looks at him like, I don't know. I've never been asked this question. I said, Sean, do you want any pink in your burger? And he's like, I said medium well, man. And she goes, what planet are you from? And walked away and leaves. A burger is just two donuts with bacon in the middle, right? That's what a burger is. Yeah, it was great. And then she kept his credit card as punishment. Right, I never got my credit card back. She did it on purpose. She literally said, what planet are you from? And Lita. But the thing that makes it great is he wasn't joking. He was genuinely so confused. I feel like Sean went a lot. It's bread and beef. It's bread and beef. What are you talking about? I don't want to get sick. I really think you thought we were messing with her, but we were not because I kept seeing it. Every time she came over, I kept talking to her. Because I used to be a waiter. She said, talk to the waiter. You know, her name was Brooklyn. She was very nice. We like Brooklyn. Nice girl. And she just sat there with her notepad out looking at you, Sean. And you were just working down, really thinking about some things in life at that moment. It was just great to see. I'm impressed that you remember her, the waitress's name, days later. Because usually by the time I'm ordering the appetizer, I've forgotten. Well, he locked in on it. He kept. This is true. My son is learning how to order on his own now, Sean. And this will make you feel a little better. I ordered a medium rare steak, as all people should. Rare, medium rare is the only acceptable thing. And then it gets to my son. And he orders some ribs. And then he goes, I'll take a medium rare. And then we're like, Connor, you don't need to. They only come extremely well. You don't have to say that for ribs. Just beef. OK, so we got one more super chef from Troy McClure. Nice Futurama call. This comment is latest hell, but to the Anali story. I once met a girl at Universal named Cuntley. They probably work at the same restaurant. It's probably, yeah. That's her sister. Not sure if that tops it or not. Not a joke, I believe you. People have some crazy names they call it. Joe, you heard the Anali woman, didn't you? Yeah, as soon as Cody got back, he had to tell me this.  Like, hey, look at legally it's this, but I like to go. Does anyone see Joe Dirt like coming to work? Joe Dirtay?   Like, my God, just go buy something else. It's not that hard. Other funny detail. I mean, it doesn't top the Anali story, but so we all get our food and there's these various choices for sides. Like if you want a salad or whatever it is.  These are these huge slices of pizza. I grabbed this little salad that's like, looks rotten. He gets to Anali and he goes, can I have some dressing? And she goes, no, you cannot. That's to eat this dry salad. The Caesar, without the Caesar. Excuse for a squirt of Caesar. It's like at the bottom. I wish I could move the lettuce like, oh, look down there, there's some salad dressing. That's not what that was. I wish I could say that this was Sean's only running with salads this weekend, but that's not true. Tony bought him a salad the first day there. And it was like $18, I think, or something. And he gets up there to the register and the woman goes, are you sure this is what you want? He picked out a salad that didn't have any meat. It was just straight up salad, no chicken. And Tony clearly paid for the meat version of the salad. So the woman's like, are you sure this is what you want? And Sean's just like, yeah, I have it. It's a salad, I'm good. Now that we talk about this, Cody, what am I missing that happened for the nachos? Something with Sean happened with the nachos. Sean doesn't like beans. And so I forgot to warn him that there was going to be beans on the Southwest dish that everybody loves. So he looks at it and he's like, he's trying to do surgery on it. And I'm like, dude, it's literally like three-ingredient nachos, it's beans, Jesus. Oh, I forgot you let me know that you're the only Texan that doesn't like beans, my bad.  I usually sub the beans out for Skittles. Okay, so that was maybe Saturday. I don't know where we're at anymore. That was Sunday night, but we were literally starting Sunday. Yeah, cause I was gone for all that fiasco. I thank God at that point. So Sunday, Sean, that's when Sean had his 10 o'clock panel on Stranger Things. Yes, which I politely bowed out of. Yeah, I'm actually. Ten again, yeah. I'm actually really glad I couldn't go on that panel cause I've seen all the seasons, but I'm not that familiar with it. It feels like it's been eight years since season four. So I was just empty on any knowledge that could have added any conversation to theories. I know they were talking about the villain, like Vespa or Velma or something. His name was Vecna, I think. And yeah, I was like, oh, yeah, I forgot Vecna. That's a thing.  His his meet and greet line was like Sean level when I got there. You know, he's got the youth of today on his side. He's captured those Stranger Things fans. I also noticed his audience was skewed a little bit younger than ours as well, too.  Yeah, yeah. Sean scolded me, by the way, for swearing on our panel right after you. I was more aggressive. I was more aggressive and you said he's like, excuse me. Apologize a couple of days late because I'm sorry, buddy, but just to my mother, not to me, I'm fine. But my mother was probably deeply offended that I heard those words. She was like, my mom might be watching because you tone down the swear words. I said, why?  Joey, I don't think you could go a sentence without swearing.  Yeah, that's right. Yeah, she has to say. You've got the. Yeah, my mama hasn't forgiven you for everything, Adam, yet. But Cody, she's already forgiven everything. It's very interesting the way the universe works. Those are the rules. I don't make them. I just follow them. You're just a good kid.  That's fair. I respect that. All right, so Sunday, you do the panel. I'm walking around. I'm filming stuff for the V-Log on Patreon.  And I thought that went great. I don't know. I don't see any issues. I did too, and I was a little nervous about it because, like I said, it was Saturday night when I started to see how injured Sean's throat was becoming, that I kind of like threw the idea. I was like, I wasn't really planning on hosting it, but you need me to. And he's like, I thought you already were. And so I was like, well, I guess it's my time to shine. So then I kind of formulated some quick notes Saturday while in between Joey's stories and then stepped up to the plate and hosted it. And yeah, it went really well. I got a little nervous because I had like a three act structure in my head and act one was over in six minutes. And I was like, oh, and so then we, once we got into like what we like, what we didn't like, it went really well. The crowd was nice and lively, which I'm always curious on, you know, with the dominantly Star Wars comic book anime, how many horror fans are there, but they were among the more lively. So that was fun. And yeah, that was, it went really well. I'm looking forward to putting that on YouTube and get everybody to watch it. You know, I will say I was a little worried as well going into it that I was going to be under qualified because you got, and I think Sean was in there too, got into a little bit of a tiff on the artist's computer with some guy that apparently knows all about the golden age of horror films.  And I put on, I put on Nosferatu from 1920 something and it's in black and white with text. It's a silent film.  If they asked me about Nosferatu, I'll just bow out gracefully. But yeah, that guy was, he was avidly against you hosting this panel or any of us being on it. Yeah, that was a hilarious exchange. I didn't know anything about any of this. What, who is this guy? What's his name? When Sean started posting. Brando on Twitter. Yeah, Sean started posting the panels like the official slate and the times and everything like that. And some guy responded to the horror one and he was like, why can't we get some actual experts on horror to run this panel? Why would Megacon get these guys? And it was just such a backwards, like I think he thought like Megacon went out to find the experts and landed on us. And it's like, no, this is- But also, dude, like, I don't, what? Look it, I'm speaking, look, I'm not speaking for anyone but myself.  Because if there is something I can't stand, it's that attitude people have of like, it's the film school thing, right? Where it's like, well, Terminator 2 is terrible. You need to go see this weird obscure movie from Asia that no one's ever seen because it's brilliant and I know about it and I'm telling you about it.  And the panel's on like the current state of horror and what are we excited for? What current trends do we think aren't working? And the argument to disqualify us is that like, Cody, I know you know a lot of horror, but you don't review Golden Age horror. So obviously you're not qualified. It was like this argument that's like, but what does that have to do with this panel? Like, what are you even talking about? One person who should be hosting that panel more than Cody.  But where's the review of every Hammer horror film? Where is it Cody? Cody should have put out like a three hour, tour day force documentary on the historicity of the Wolfman, Frankenstein and all these movies scaling back from the 20s and on. Otherwise he does have no credibility. But thankfully the panel was great and that guy didn't show up or there was no snobs like that being rude. It was just a fun time. Yes, it went very well. I was very excited at the turnout. We got Troy McClure again for $5. Thank you Troy. As someone who has been 100s of times, okay, food wise, Finnegan's at Uni and Mythos at, these are all briefings. Islands of Adventure in Universal. I just can't do it. Don't eat anywhere else or you will be sorely disappointed. Yeah. We had our options a little bit. We tried to come to Mythos but it was closed and they didn't tell us. We just stood in the entryway looking like idiots.  And again, I just keep, you know, Cody, you kind of were wrong when you said I had all the ins and outs of Uni because I was leading you down all the wrong paths. Get a butter beer in line, coming at me. Just screwing us over. Yeah. I feel like we got lucky on this one because whatever that weird place is called was closed. Mythos, we ended up getting the Rogers family spaghetti. Kat was back in the kitchen, is using the ladle and everything and delivered some Rogers balls. They were straight to my mouth which I found quite delicious. Sean was convinced that since Steve Rogers, Captain America was on the billboard that he was in the back cooking up a storm and we had the Rogers family recipe. What do you mean? What are you talking about? Is that not the case? That is the case. That is the case.  That worked out too well. That went off the tongue too well. Yeah, we got the memories, not necessarily the good food but we only had the fantastic four restaurant that's called and the three broomsticks and the three broomsticks line was around the building. That wasn't going to happen. Yeah, there was a running joke because it was the $25 little voucher they gave us. The running joke was that they give you the voucher but everywhere is closed. Seven restaurants were closed. It was like the lights aren't on and then by the time we got to eat, it was like 8.30 or 8.25, it's like, look, it's going to be like this expires at 8.20. Let's say a Holden Hardman. I don't think we've talked to a Holden Hardman was with us. And so he met us as we walked into Universal, camera ready. Like we walked in first time ever met him and it was like immediate content for the channel. All right, cool, we're going for it.  Can we go this way? Yeah, Holden's like yeah, nice to meet you. Yeah, yeah, cool, great. Okay, bye. Yeah. So Holden was there first and he was like trying to use his card to get some snacks or a drink and everything turned it down. And so it's paying $25 for a bottle of Coke out of his own pocket because his gift card wouldn't work. So. Oh, nice. It was great. The badge is awesome. Gift card. Yeah, we got to ask the sergeant, $5. Jokes aside, how much sleep are you losing over anticipation for Rebel Moon 2? Keep in mind that there is a possibility, a director's cut, wait, there is a possibly a director's cut seven. Yeah, the joke is that, oh, it's not even a funny joke, but Snyder has 17 different cuts of his movies now ready to go before the movie isn't even out. He already announces them, which is so degrading to the film itself. Like why are people going to be excited when you're already saying this is a fine movie, but I got the real movie in the chest and I'm going to release it a year later. Well, but also wasn't that a Netflix film? Yeah. Yeah. So it's literally tailor made for whatever you want it to be. It was a bunch of controversy where you couldn't really get a read if it was Netflix trying to like manufacture another Snyder cut movement or if it was Zach Snyder because you listen to interviews with him and he's like, well, this is this movie. Look at the. The real version is like this steampunk rated R different version. I don't I never thought of that. But honestly, I think that's probably what it is. People in Hollywood do not have much creativity most of the time. They know people talked about that and they probably wanted to try to do something like that again. That makes sense. And I'm curious if that's going to affect their plans for the second one because they got nothing but mountains of shit and the really bad reviews on Rebel Cut and the Rebel Moon and the through line through all of them is you can tell that an hour is cut out of this movie. Yeah, Joey, you're the you're the nice guy when it comes to movies because you appreciate all the work that goes behind the scenes.  I hated Rebel Moon, man. I thought that movie was just terrible. I didn't see it. I think Zach Snyder, you know, I felt this way after watching the Snyder cut and Batman v Superman directors cut. He just seems to be one of those filmmakers that needs like four hours to tell a movie how he wants to. Like he likes a lot of detail, which I can appreciate a lot of time when it goes to things like character because I still to this day have not seen the theatrical cut of Batman v Superman, but there were a lot of things that the directors cut. I really dug and I just heard that the theatrical was not very good. And I had a great time. I was in quarantine for a show I was doing when the Snyder cut came out and I remember watching it thinking it was great. It was an epic. It was long where I had saw the Joss Whedon cut actually during production of my movie and it was, I mean, it was like, you can't believe this has been really put out by a studio. So, you know, I think he is that type of filmmaker where I always say this with a lot of directors and rarely does it happen. I would love to go and see them make something small again. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, even with Nolan, I wasn't, I hated Tenet. Tenet was not for me. It was, it felt like a lot of him trying to do things from inception to a lesser degree. And it felt very pretentious. Like, I don't think Nolan can tell you what that movie means where people say that's why it's smart. And I'm like, no, that's just pretentious for pretentious sake. But I'm like, yo, like I want to see Nolan go make another insomnia. Like, go make, you have the freedom to go and make anything you want. Like the only director I could think of who does things like that. I was talking about him at Cody this weekend is Steven Soderbergh. Soderbergh can go make a really dope studio film with, you know, actors, actresses turn a healthy profit and then he'll go and make a small two or $300,000 indie that's shot on an iPhone or extremely experimental. And I just respect that a lot. And I think for a lot of these filmmakers, it's like you won. You are literally at the top of the list of name directors who makes blockbusters. You could do anything you want.  I want to go roll the dice and make something really small. I do think that's going to happen when someone like George Lucas passes away because everyone has said he makes movies. Still that he funds that are extremely experimental. He just doesn't put them out there. So I don't know. I wish Snyder, you know, the Snyders of the industry would go do something really small again. I fully agree with you. All right, we got one more from Daniel Skinner for $5. Thank you, Daniel. Speaking of food, when I meet Sean a month ago, I met Sean a month ago. In LA, he gave me microwaved mac and cheese for three. Well, I had to spend 10 bucks getting him midnight run. OK, well, kind of a happy first part with a sad ending. Sean, any comments on that?  So the only chicken I could find was chicken fingers, hot TV dinner with some macaroni and cheese. So I ran and like literally bought it out of the hotel store, cooked it there, took the chicken fingers in my hand.  And he took it. Got some macaroni. You got macaroni. Bowl, like this is Sean, Chance's Mac and Cheese. Did you show the macaroni? It was actually maggots. Sorry, I didn't want boys again. Hey, what's a macaroni? It's maggots. Oh, all right. Thank you for those super chats. Where are we at in this timeline? Have we finished? We just talked about the horror panel. You did the horror. Boys, I love you all. I got to dip out. I'm going to get in bed with my girl and go to sleep because we're spending some time together. I love you all very, very much. Thank you for having me on this live.  Love him so much, that Sean Chandler. But I love you guys very much, man. I'll talk to you guys soon. Love you, man. Thanks for coming on. OK, we're going to wrap up soon, too. So any super chats, you want to ask any of us about Megacon or movies in general or any movie news?  We'll wrap up soon, so get the super chats in. Sunday, I was pretty much gone after the Stranger Things photo shoot, which Cody, again, was nice enough to allow me to join. And we got in right away, said nothing to the kids, felt like a creeper standing next to him. Although it does look like I'm kind of like almost tucking into a wolf hard there, which is nice. It was a nice little moment. So anything else happened after I left? What did I miss? Because I drove six and a half hours. I made it. I did pretty good on the way home. I stopped at Bucky's, of course. Got to stop at Bucky's. Absolutely. They have the most prestigious bathrooms in, I think, America. They're phenomenal bathrooms. And I don't say that lately. But I ate so much because we barely ate the entire Megacon.  So at Bucky's, I got a pulled pork cheese sandwich, and then I got a big brisket sandwich. I had a large bowl. Oh my god, it was fantastic. And then you bought a fryer out back. I just bought a cooker. Yeah, in the fryer, I put the thousands of times in the car. There's a swimming pool back there, and Bucky's beavers. Tye-ack. Yeah, and then I got those chips, those grilled chips they make, which are fantastic.  Luckily, I timed mine well because four hours into my drive, I'm about to pull into my driveway, but I had a similar exit the next morning. Bucky's is something that I experienced for the first time. The first time me and Sean drove to Megacon, and I brought it up to him, not even realizing it's a Texas thing. I was like, you know, because I watch a lot of food stuff. And so there was a channel that I watched where they did a vlog at the Daytona Beach one. It looks like the most massive gas station that's ever existed, which is just a Bucky's thing. It's not even an impressive Bucky's apparently. But we stopped there and I was like, Sean, there's this place called Bucky's. And he's like, yes, we're stopping there. Yes, that's the must have.  It's a gas station where like, it's like somebody saw Walmart's Dick's Sporting Goods and a gas station and said, yes, all three, please. And so when you're walking through it, you literally walk through like those three versions of the store, they have barbecue, and you think gas station barbecue, and it's like the best version of that you could think of. There's like chefs there preparing it and chopping the meat and like yelling things. Brisket on the board! Yes! The whole store does it and joins in. We've got a stuffed Bucky walking around like Chuck E. Cheese, the kids take pictures with. I mean, it's wild. Bucky's Bucky's all pit at some point. It's just crazy. So I introduced my wife. 750 gas pumps out front, just rows and rows and rows of gas pumps, and they're always full. Yes, always full.  Yeah, I took my family to the one on the way to North Carolina a couple years ago where you're going to my uncle's house. And so I introduced my wife and my kids to it. And so now, anytime I pass through Orlando, I have to make a stop. So the stop to Bucky's on the way to Orlando cost me $16. The cost back home, bringing all of the goodies that were requested, cost me about 115. And so it was lunch for me. And then you saw a smoker and it jumped up to $750. Yes. So I was there. There was the old couple looking at a smoker outside. Like, this looks like a good one. I leave with lunch for me. I leave with an apple pie. I leave with a drink. I also leave with like two different boxes of pastries. They have this thing called a beaver tail there that's basically like a cross between a croissant and a cinnamon roll. I brought fudge, like all these things for my family to be like, I remembered you. And yeah, so like I joked with Joey because there was a possibility he was going to drive back with me and end up flying out of Savannah. And I was telling him about Bucky's.  Like it's physically impossible. Experience. My kids, we were so burned out by Universal in Florida that on the way home when we said we're stopping Bucky's, that was basically the highlight. The highlight. Bucky's, yeah. Okay, so my trip home was fine. It did like there was like a flash storm warning at one point. So I was just getting poured on. It was miserable, but I made it. I lived and it was good. What happened when I left besides the Power Ranger meet and greet? Anything else or was that a yes? Says we're winding down. Talked with finally talked to Greg. Mark from the room. Booth was next to mine. So not to anything, but he's very kind and encouraging towards me. He also was surprised how long I was talking to everyone and was like, why did you keep talking when you were like your vocal cords were running on negative five? Like it was, we were in pain listening to you talk. It's like, yeah, I care that much. I'm that hardcore. But yeah, she did that. And then I followed them back to their hotel. And because we were two different hotels, they split opposite ends of the center. It made this weird scenario where we'd had like it was tough to hang out at nighttime.  And that's where he went to eat in Brooklyn was our server and she kept shaming me for not liking sour cream beans or realizing that there's people that want raw ground beef in the middle of their burgers or something like that. I didn't understand. I don't know what I did wrong, but she hated me so much. But I was dying. I was like dying. I thought we did everything wrong, but we can move past it. It was also a fun little twist because like the whole thing was like how fun Joey's stories are and how like he just had an endless supply of them for anybody that talked to him is just like you're gonna have an experience. And that was the moment where we got to flip the script because he's sitting there, he's starting to get tired and he's like, man, I'm starting to feel exhausted now. And then now the shoe's on the other foot and we start talking about the previous mega con and like we had John Flickinger and Austin Burke. And so we start telling like YouTube stories. And now that now he's like. Yeah, he was like, oh, what? You know this about this person? Wait, you've met this person? Like he's trying to get all the dirt that we have on YouTubers and stuff. Awesome. Yeah, it was a good dinner. And I got to say, like as the food snob, that was some damn good food. Like the nachos despite having beans that Mr. Chandler was not too akin for. It was the best restaurant nachos I had ever had. And I had like these cod street tacos that were awesome. So as the foodie, I just had to point that out. 39 bar and grill, but at the bottom of Rosen Plaza. And I realized that you don't be picky if Brooklyn is your server. Yeah, Brooklyn or Analy, they don't mess around.  Cody, I forgot you mentioned the, we missed out on one of the funniest parts of the panel at the horror one, which was one of our members was missing. I think. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so you go ahead and tell him that. That was fun. So Joey is self-admittedly nocturnal. Under normal circumstances, he's a vampire. He sleeps during the day and, you know, is alive during the night. And that did not quite function well for the megacons since most of the daytime is when we're doing our thing. So Friday comes or excuse me, Sunday comes. And with the exception of the seven AM bedtime, it was like three, four AM was average, you know, which seemed graceful after the seven AM. So the guy, yeah, his sleep schedules is unique. And so the final day, you know, the 10 AM panel, it doesn't have either of us on it, but I'm trying to get there to not only like, you know, be there for the panel, but also I had some other that had the photo op I wanted to walk around. So I'm leaving the hotel at like 9 30. He's out and I'm like, hey, just make sure like, you're going to be good. We got our panel at one. He's like, yeah, I'll be there, bro. I got it. All right. A
