Introduction and Weather Change
00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome back to another episode of the Mythic Draft Podcast. I'm Chris. And I'm Ron. And welcome to a 30 degree shift in temperature in 24 hours. Gosh, yeah, to the negative. Yeah. Yesterday it was 86, I think. Yeah. I went out for a walk and today we went out for a walk and it was 52. Yeah. Yeah. Yesterday I was like, why do I have the top on my Jeep? Why am I doing this? And then today I'm like, why, where's my parka?
DMV Experiences and Car Inspections
00:00:29
Speaker
I don't know how you want to mention it on the podcast, but I got my Jeep inspected. It is past inspection, finally. So what kind of weird driving did you have to do? I just drove it for 200 miles illegally, basically. And just, you know, went out there and like. So. Dollar DMV.
00:00:53
Speaker
You and I grew up in a time where the DMV being a terrible place has been a running joke our entire lives. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't know what they... I don't know if they're like pumping marijuana smoke into that place or giving them Xanax, but they are like the nicest people in the world now. Oh, not in Maryland. Oh my God. The DMV is amazing. Every time I go there, I'm like, you dread it. You're like, oh, I got to deal with those people. And they're always nice. And I'm like,
00:01:20
Speaker
What's going on here? They're like happy. The lady, because I went up there and asked questions, she's like, oh yeah, and then she's like, oh, have a great Thursday and enjoy your weekend because it's a long weekend. I'm like, wow, what's going on? Yeah, there's definitely something being pumped into there then. Yeah, they're always helpful and happy and man. Wow. Yeah, not in Maryland. No, Maryland. They still hate life. Yeah.
00:01:45
Speaker
You get on the Delaware DMV plan because they freaked me out because our DMV basically, it's all drive-through. If you're just doing car stuff, you don't really have to go into the building much. As you're driving by, you can see the lanes and if the garage doors open, it means the lanes open. And I pull up, I'm like, oh man, all the lanes are open. I don't even see cars in the lanes. This is going to be great.
00:02:10
Speaker
I pull up and there's a huge line of cars and they're all in one lane and I'm like, what? But then you're like, you know, you're like inborn courtesy kicks in. You're like, well, I can't like skip the line. Right. You know, all of those other lines are open. Yeah. And so I was like creeping up, creeping up and I was like, ah, you know what? There's something going on. Yeah. And I asked the lady and apparently it's a state police do a
00:02:37
Speaker
once a week or once a month, uh, stolen vehicle check. Oh, so if you like, you buy a car at auction, you have to run it through this stolen vehicle check. Gotcha. And, um, she was telling me some poor lady paid $16,000 for cash, found out the vehicle was stolen and confiscated the car. Oh, poor lady. Poor lady. So that sucks. But they're just sitting as long as I'm like, but I was in and out 10 minutes. Yeah, that's nice.
00:03:06
Speaker
Yeah, I've got to get my daughter's car inspected Monday and that's going to be an hour. I don't think you do inspections around, don't you guys just pretend like you did it and move on? But because we're transferring tags, we have to get it inspected. Oh, yeah, or whatever it is. So of course, you have to call around and I thought this one guy said, I could get you Monday. I said, all right, how long does it take? I'll be about an hour. I'm like, what are you doing to this car for an hour? Right.
00:03:35
Speaker
Yeah, Delaware inspection probably takes 15 minutes. Yeah. Because they got to like check all the safety stuff and then they got to run your exhaust and all that crap. Yeah, that's what I figured. It'd be a quick thing. Or no, you know, maybe you just go to the MVA to get it done. No, not in Maryland. I don't understand the Maryland PA thing where you're allowing a third party mechanic to do inspections. It just seems corrupt. Yeah. No. Like you have a place
00:04:06
Speaker
to do... You have a state agency to do this. Why aren't you doing that? Exactly. I don't get your system. No one understands the system, Ron. Well, that's fair. That is the thing that is the most... The older I get, the more I realize that no one understands. My good friend in the fire service, probably my best friend in the Salisbury Fire Department,
Driving Stress and Motorcycle Lane Splitting
00:04:33
Speaker
sends me a text the other day that I have major imposter syndrome going on. And I was like, you know what? I just think nobody knows what they're doing. Maybe that's not true. Maybe the people who are actually competent, never feel comfortable. And maybe the people who are just completely oblivious are like, oh, I'm the best. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's what it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you meet somebody, it's like, yeah, I definitely know what's going on. Watch out. Right.
00:05:01
Speaker
Well, that's what Socrates always said. A wise man knows that he knows nothing. Yeah. I've been in the fire service for 19 years. I'm a 43... Well, not the fire department for 19 years. The fire service for 27 or something. And I'm a 43-year-old man. I still am like, I don't understand how anything works. Yeah. I don't even understand the drive-throughs most of the days.
00:05:30
Speaker
I really don't understand how people drive. No. No, there's still, oh my gosh. I've gone around DC twice in the last month or so. And my wife even pointed out and I looked at my watch, my stress level on my
00:05:48
Speaker
Gorman was saying when I was driving into the city was like spiked. When I was leaving, it was mellow. I think it's because I knew I was driving into hell and out of hell and driving out. I was happy. I was getting away from it. Driving in. That's when it ramped up. I actually feel like I get a catharsis from driving in stressful situations and yelling at people because I feel better at the end of the day. It's like a de-stressor. I think there's something wrong with me.
00:06:18
Speaker
I don't understand people on motorcycles driving like absolute lunatics all of the time. They share the road, Ron. If you're making your safety my responsibility, then you shouldn't drive like a moron. Exactly. Because in Delaware, it's legal to split lanes.
00:06:41
Speaker
And I think Maryland is talking about allowing you to do split lanes. And it's like, this is the most, it's the most dangerous thing I've ever seen people do. Yeah. They'll be on 95 and just splitting lanes. And you know, if it's slow traffic on 95, everybody's doing the jostling around between lanes because they're going to get two seconds faster.
Horse Riding and Rodeo Adventures
00:07:01
Speaker
It's crazy. Yeah. Why would you allow that?
00:07:07
Speaker
I mean, that's like, if you have a, you know, a mini or a smart car, you do the same thing. We don't even make them wear helmets in Delaware. So that's true. Yeah, that's why it always kills me. The people that are like, they stop at the line. They're like, what, what, what? They take their helmet off. It's like, yeah, that makes sense. It'd be like driving down the road and saying, oh, I'm going to disengage my airbag and take off my seat belt. Yep. But most of them are breaking the law.
00:07:32
Speaker
Because the law in Delaware is you still have to have the helmet on the bike. Yeah. And I see them all the time, leave their helmet at home or something. And I'm like, well, this should get busted because you broke the law. I am sure there's probably some wacko out there. Oh, this was a collapsible helmet. It stored your pocket. Right.
00:07:50
Speaker
It's just, it's crazy. I mean, you know, I also look at everybody who's a firefighter who rides a bicycle, like a motorcycle to go, what is wrong with you? Yeah. Yeah. You have seen the horrible outcomes. Right. I don't even like riding my bicycle on roadways anymore. Right.
00:08:09
Speaker
I've gotten to the point where I ride my bike to a bike path and ride the bike path. Or I drive my bike to, I'm sorry. People are crazy. And we're supposed to get a new bike path in Delaware. From Georgetown to Lewis. Well, I mean, Georgetown is the hub that you have to go through to get to anywhere in Delaware. It's fair.
00:08:37
Speaker
And it's supposedly they're going to have one from, I guess, Georgetown to Newcastle County. Wow. Yeah. Wait, there's a Newcastle County. Yeah, there is a Newcastle County. Is there an old castle or just castle? I think this is Castle. Just Castle. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Well, Newcastle used to be the capital of the state of Pennsylvania. People on the Delawareans reclaimed it.
00:09:05
Speaker
Well, it's just Battle of Castledom. It just had a, you know, a vote. A vote? It just voted. Rock, paper, scissors. Yeah. We're like, we're done. We don't want to be part of your Pennsylvania morons anymore. Pennseltuckians. Pennseltuckians. It's so weird because, you know, you talk about like, or as somebody who's really interested in history, I read a lot of books and they're talking about the wild west of colonial Pennsylvania and they're talking like Westchester, PA.
00:09:35
Speaker
It's like, yeah, we really pushed west. We got to Phoenixville. It's like 30 minutes outside of Philly. The Pennsylvania Dutch. The Ducha. But I guess when you're walking from Philly to Phoenixville, it takes longer than 30 minutes. I guess. I don't know if you're riding a demonic horse. You could ride a demonic horse. Yeah, that was funny. I was at that first responder conference last week.
00:10:05
Speaker
One of the presenters was talking. He's like, yeah, you know, there's all these things, you know, there's equine therapy and a couple of people that know me locked eyes with me in the crowd. I was like, yeah, you're hilarious. Yeah. They're just big dogs. No, they're not. They're friendly. We had a conversation at work.
00:10:29
Speaker
It rarely came up that I we were talking about cowboy boots And this was tooten it when they were when I say cowboy boots. Yeah, I am cowboy boots. I have a pair Do you really I do I used to ride horses constantly I was a but you don't have to have cowboy boots to ride a horse It helps Did you have chaps and a hat? No, I never had that belt buckle big belt buckle I have a collection of belt buckles big old belt buckles at Cap'n Ron But like the
00:10:59
Speaker
Quillen on my shift was like, there's no way. This, this doesn't happen. And I'm like, yeah, I used to live in South Jersey for a couple of years. My mom lived there when I was in college, so I would go to South Jersey. And I'm like, South Jersey is, is bum fucked. The best thing to do on the weekends is go to the rodeo. He's like, you never went to a rodeo. I'm like, that's all there is to do. Like you went to the rodeo and you went to the ice cream parlor. What else do you do?
00:11:25
Speaker
I'm sorry, is this some weird mashup with a Wild West and 50s? We went to the rodeo and then we went to the ice cream parlor and had a social. Yeah, well you suck up and then you know. I don't know if anybody that equates anything in Jersey with rodeo. It is the oldest running rodeo in the country. Wow. It is a weekly rodeo.
00:11:51
Speaker
It is the cow town, right? It's a big deal. All right. Yeah. But he was just like... He was just like, there's no way that this county in Jersey is as bumpkin as Snow Hill. I was like, oh, it's more bumpkin than Snow Hill. So the town my mom lived in had eight houses. Oh my God. You see, now you've offended him. No, we're more bumpkin. We're more bumpkin. I was like, there were 30 people lived in this town, maybe.
00:12:20
Speaker
Maybe 30 people. God. We should show up the next shift with cowboy boots on. I should show up on the cowboy boots on. You should. That'd be amazing. Just put my feet up on the desk. Yeah. Clunk, clunk. New sheriff of town, boys. They're black cowboy boots too, so they would meet the Department of Standards. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. I look weird with my shorts on. That's all right. People do it all the time. I also never liked people that wore their cowboy boots outside their jeans. Well, that's what girls do. I think it looks stupid.
00:12:50
Speaker
Yeah, girls wear it outside, boys wear it inside. Yeah. Yeah. Never a bigger fan. Yeah, you gotta have cowboy boots when you're riding. Duh. I had boots just because I grew up on a farm. You had to have them. I had a nice duster. Didn't never had a duster. I own a trench coat. Yeah, that's close. Yeah. I had three cowboy hats. I've only ever owned one.
00:13:20
Speaker
And I don't know where it is anymore. I had a black one and a straw one. It's probably gone. And I think I had two black ones. That's right. Yeah, I remember people would look at how many stars is that? Yeah. Anyway, it's like a rating for your hat. The more stars, the higher quality or something. OK. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Don't know anything about it. No. I did buy a lasso once. Ooh. Wasn't for me. That's a gift.
00:13:50
Speaker
Were you able to lasso things? I have no idea how to lasso things. Yeah, I wouldn't know how to saddle horse anymore. I mean, I'm probably could figure it out eventually, but I haven't saddle horses along. I probably do not remember how to do it. You got to put a blanket on first. Do you remember that? You do need to put a horse blanket on them. Yeah. And there's a belly strap that goes around.
00:14:11
Speaker
The girth hitch. You always got to put your fingers in between the girth hitch because the horses will take the hold of breath and then they'll let it loose. I guess they're sneaky creatures. They're sneaky creatures. Instead of doing that so they can throw you off. Yeah. I've very close to been thrown off a horse before. That thing was bucking and I'm looking down and there's a 100 foot drop. I'm going, this is not going to be a good situation for me.
00:14:39
Speaker
Because you are riding that horse at the horse's sufferance. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Unusual Pet Preferences and Service Animals
00:14:44
Speaker
Yeah. You very quickly realize you are not in control of this horse. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, but the bit in. Yeah. Some of them have the chest strap. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. And I remember for. Set getting them harnessed up for harness racing. There was this loop that you put around their tail.
00:15:08
Speaker
And oh my God, it seemed barbaric. And I can never do horse racing, so I don't know. Yeah. Seems like some of the stuff that people do to horses is pretty barbaric. Well, yeah, to be honest. Well, I mean, you're. Putting, you know, bits in mouths to yank them and hobbles. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's pretty pretty brutal. Yeah. Yeah. But.
00:15:38
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know how I feel about horse riding anymore. I think I feel kind of like it's exploitive and I'm not sure I'd be into it. I got a bicycle. I don't need a horse. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just go bareback. Just go bareback. Yeah. Even though, I mean, you look at horses though, like horses that get rid of a lot, they have back problems. Oh my gosh. Yeah. They get that horrible sway back. Yeah. Yeah. Or then you see these like, you know, get away, um,
00:16:09
Speaker
rode, not radio, but like, you know, farmhouse things. Oh yeah. Come, you know, spend a week in the wild west and these poor horses are looking. And there's this person that has no business getting on a horse, you know, that weighs half the horse's weight. And that horse is looking like, Oh, this is going to hurt. Yeah. So that was weirdly another podcast I listened to, they were talking about, there was a, there's a, uh, influencer who was raging because she got turned down to ride a horse because she weighed too much.
00:16:38
Speaker
And she's like, body positivity. And she's like, this is bullshit. You can't treat people like this. It's like, hmm, actually, you can. And you should. If you're a responsible horse owner, you have to look at people and go, you can't ride that horse. Yeah. I mean, maybe if they brought out a giant Clydesdale or a draft horse or something. Yeah. There are certain horses that are bigger. But if you don't have that kind of horse, like you got ponies or something, you can't let some 350-pound person ride a pony or kill the horse. Yeah.
00:17:06
Speaker
you know, I think it's like 10% of the horses weight or something is what they comfortably can ride with them. Yeah, you can't. Yeah. Like I'm too fat to ride a horse right now. There's no way. Oh, oh, yeah, definitely. It's like, if you go by the 10% rule, the horse would have to weigh a lot of a lot of it to be a like the old like
00:17:34
Speaker
I can't remember the breed of horses like that. It's not a, what's a hat, hand and a half horse. Is that right? I mean, there's a hand and a half sword. I don't know. That's a, that's a bastard sword. It's a bastard sword. I think there's, it's, I think I called like a, because there's a quarter horse, a hand and a half. And then there's like the kleidzels, which are really expensive, but just. Hand and a half horse. Horse types.
00:18:04
Speaker
Then you get like, Appolutions. Yeah, yeah. Shire horse. Oh, good. But there's like these old- Akhal tekki? There's a Dutch Warmblood. Is there a Dutch Coldblood? American Quarter Horse. A Gowneers Cobb. They're making these things up. Everything's made up. Yeah. Fjord horse. Fjord? Yeah, Fjord.
00:18:33
Speaker
Standard bread. A Tennessee walking horse. The hell? I mean, I know you measure a horse by the hands. Hmm. Yeah, I mean, draft, light, gated, warm-blooded and pony. What? They're all warm-blooded, you animals! God see, people are stupid. Yeah. Yeah, ponies, bluebirds and everypreet.
00:19:02
Speaker
Yeah, just get a draft. The gypsy rant banner, a draft horse, big old plotting bastard. The gypsy banner is a nice looking horse. Pretty horse. But yeah, you can't, you know, you have to be a responsible horse owner and you can't allow people who are 300 pounds or a horse. Yeah. Yeah. That's what we should get from our house. One of those miniature ponies as a therapy animal. I want a therapy snake. Patty's letting me get out of station one.
00:19:31
Speaker
But that's not a thing. Of course it is. No, a snake is just as good of a therapy animal as a dog. People are just going on this bullshit that the dogs are perfect for therapy. That's because the ADA has approved dogs. Yeah, because dogs are not as offensive to people as snakes. It's a thing though. What if, what if people are allergic to dogs? How does that work? Uh, you know,
00:19:57
Speaker
You know, like as a let's say you have a paramedic who's allergic to dogs and you have a patient who has a service dog. That's I mean, do you jab yourself with Benadryl when you're walking up to him? There are people who I know people who work in EMS who have legitimate fear of dogs. Mm hmm. So. If you don't feel safe with that dog. Yeah. What are you supposed to do? Yeah, that's call for another crew, I guess.
00:20:26
Speaker
I actually have a real problem with the service dog situation in America right now, because I know a lot of people who are not trained and they call them service dogs. Well, because I could go on Amazon right now and buy a service dog test. I know a lot of people who have done that. Those dogs are not trained. And if you are not comfortable around dogs,
00:20:52
Speaker
And somebody's screaming at you, you got to take this dog. Well, yeah, my job is not worth me not being comfortable like that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Cause if a person's uncomfortable, they're not going to do good patient care. Right. So you can take your little fake service dog, right? And you can ride another animals, you know, all these departments, including ours have these rules saying you have to take the service dog. Yeah. Never thinking about their employees. Well,
00:21:19
Speaker
Yeah. Yes and no, because as soon as you say, look, we're not going to take your dog, then you get a whole ADA lawsuit and everything. Sure. So it's, yeah. Uh, people are very scared of the ADA. Yeah. But the ADA says it has to be for everybody. Right. So if the provider says I'm not comfortable around dogs, then you can clearly say no service dogs. Yeah. We could,
00:21:47
Speaker
Yeah, we need to put a writer in ours that says, you know, if the crew is uncomfortable with said animal, they should call for an additional source or something. Fun thing for me to do Monday. I just think the service log thing because people are abusing it. Oh yeah, that's the problem. It's becoming a problem. Yeah. And I am related to people that have abused it. So I know what's going on. And then those people are the loudest bitches in the face about service.
00:22:13
Speaker
People who truly need service dogs and truly, but they understand that. Yeah. And they're quiet about it. And they're quiet about it. It's like everything. The people that are usually the most loud and obnoxious are the ones that just shouldn't be. Sure. That's fair. And I love dogs, so I'll take any service dog. Right. I'll treat the dog before treatment.
00:22:39
Speaker
The dog's like, who's your good boy? The creature's bleeding out. Oh, he'll be fine. Yeah, he'll be fine. That's the dog. Yeah. That's my view. Yeah. That's it. Yeah, we rig-a-rolled and rolled the rig. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Nostalgic Sounds and Haircuts with ESPN
00:22:57
Speaker
Yeah. Topic one. Topic one. This is probably a very short one, but I was thinking about it yesterday and today.
00:23:08
Speaker
There are iconic sounds from my lifetime that now have ruined me forever. And it just, my wife said something and I just replied, Sega. And then instantly I was just playing Sonic the Hedgehog in my head. Yeah. Like, and I was thinking like, what other iconic sounds like that exist? I can pick another one like the Pentium bell. What is that?
00:23:38
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or like the what was it? The Dolby or whatever, where it's that like build up the. Yeah. But like just hearing Sega just makes me like. Yeah, you can see Sonic the Hedgehog. I can hear Sonic the Hedgehog and then I can start hearing the music of Sonic the Hedgehog in my head. Yeah. And I wasn't a Sega kid and I could even see it and hear it. I was totally a Sega kid. Yeah.
00:24:07
Speaker
Yeah. Just hearing like the don't don't don't don't you think I'm going to make football and sure. Yeah. Yeah. The don't don't don't don't. It's pretty iconic, too. Yeah. Oh, the. Yeah. Are you talking about the ESPN? No. ESPN is terrible. It's a side note. Well, ESPN is terrible. I was sighted about ESPN.
00:24:30
Speaker
No. So the haircut place that I went to closed. I went there for years and years and years they closed. So now I'm in this. And this was like they closed two years ago. And I'm still like trying to figure out where to get my haircut. But Ron, you know, hairdressers are the most stressed out people. Well, I'm going to defend that person for a second. Well, you're going to hear my rant. OK. So I went I've been going to sports clubs because there's a couple of sports clubs around me and
00:25:01
Speaker
It's usually women who are a little younger than me cutting hair at a sports club. Yes. And the whole shtick is that it's got a locker room and that they do the massages. Right. And all they do is play ESPN all day. Why? They're not allowed to listen to music. They have to play ESPN constantly. And the last time I looked at my haircut, I was like, this has to drive you insane.
00:25:29
Speaker
to work eight hours just listening to ESPN rant the same bullshit all day because that's all they do. Oh, yeah. They just repeat the same crap in different ways all day. She's like, you have no idea. And then then she really made me feel bad because she's like, and you just won't believe the asshole men that come in here and say, can I get a happy ending with that massage? Oh,
00:25:55
Speaker
I'm sure it's wrong with people. It happens all the time. They should be allowed to tase them. Yeah. They should be allowed to turn the fucking music on. Yeah. Don't make them watch ESPN. And then this is bonkers. What kind of guys want to sit around and watch ESPN all day? This is the worst part. This is the most bonkers part of the story. So then I was like, well, can't you just turn ESPN off? She's like, you would understand how angry people come in when we haven't had it on.
00:26:21
Speaker
She told me that people come there during the football season and get their haircut during their football game and they're mad because their football team isn't on the TV. What? What lunatic football fan? Oh my god. It's like, oh, I guess I'll go get my haircut at 105 on a Sunday because that's when my team's playing. She's like, we don't have NFL ticket. We're just showing whatever's on ESPN or whatever's on Fox.
00:26:50
Speaker
What is wrong with these people? I'm like, people are maniacs. That's a level of crazy that I don't even understand. Like, if you're a fan, if you're a football fan. When you get your haircut on Monday night. Right. Get my haircut Monday night at nine. What are you talking about? What? Well, and then when you're getting your haircut, you're just sitting there. Yeah. You're not.
00:27:19
Speaker
You're not looking at anything. Well, the TV, they have a TV sitting right in front of your eye view. That's stupid. It is crazy. It's insane. You should have a mirror so you can see what the person is doing behind your head. Right. Yeah, cut your throat. She I mean, what she told me that people have come to that place during a football game. Fans of that football team have scheduled their haircut for that time. I was like, this is that's a level of crazy that I could go bananas there. Yeah. I understand what's going on.
00:27:49
Speaker
Gosh. Yeah. And having to watch ESPN all day. Mm hmm. Well, you know, this year they're making the baseballs rounder. Right. Hmm. The crap that they it's there's only one now that Max is off my shift. I don't want to be a fan. The only time I do is when I've been to sports club, getting my haircut. And I'm like, yeah, I swear to God, they were saying this the last time last month. Right. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm sure. I when they're talking about football and it's April and I'm like,
00:28:17
Speaker
There's no football right now. What are we talking about? Yeah. So I was, my wife and I went out to dinner the other day, down to that place, Oak, in Snow Hill. I was like, okay. And sat down, and they had some TVs on. I was amazed. One of the TVs had rugby.
00:28:36
Speaker
The other TV had women's lacrosse. Wow. Yeah. I was like, what, what is this? And what I've never really sat and watched rugby. So yeah, I'm trying to talk to my wife, but every now and again, I look up. I don't understand that sport. No, it's, it's, it's weird. The referees in neon pink. I mean, yeah, at first, cause I saw him like bouncing around. I was like, is he like the special one that like jumps in or something? I don't know.
00:29:02
Speaker
Yeah, it's a weird sport. If you really think about all sports, they're all weird. It's a made up kids game that we just turned into a sport. My friend is probably the biggest baseball fan I've ever met. He's like the rain man of baseball fans because we play trivia together all the time and the question would be like,
00:29:24
Speaker
What's team one the nineteen seventy three world series is like i'll be watching red socks seven to three three games and i'm like. He threw seventy two pitches but he knows that stuff like he could be that you know how.
00:29:38
Speaker
Because baseball is so boring, the announcers always have to make up crazy stats. Like, this is his 38th game on a Monday where he wore a blue sock. And they say that random crap. He would be perfect for that job. Oh, you know, he's got 21 strikeouts when the humidity is above 82%. Yeah, crazy stuff like that that they have to throw out there. And he would be amazing at that job.
00:30:05
Speaker
Yeah. And I like that you say that it's so boring and now they've made it even more boring because now you have instant replays in baseball. Let's take a sport that's slow and slow it down even more, you know, because they've I don't know if you follow baseball at all. Not really. I don't watch baseball. I'll go to a game if friends are like, hey, let's go to a game. I'll go. I'll go to like minor league just because it's cheaper and sure. Yeah, because baseball is expensive.
00:30:33
Speaker
There's fun. Like I have fond memories, but I grew up going to the vet for like eight bucks and I can't do that anymore. Yeah. Yeah. We went to Memorial Stadium that actually was a stadium and not a whatever, but we, um,
00:30:47
Speaker
I would go to Veeam and I'll watch baseball if like, I do follow the Phillies a little bit. And if it's like getting near like September and they're doing well, I'll watch baseball. I like watching some sport, but like this year they've, they added the pitch count. So they can't think what I have 10 seconds to throw a pitch and they can only, uh, brush up that, uh, brush a runner off once. And they've added like all these infield shift rules. So the baseball is faster.
00:31:11
Speaker
And I'm like, that's how you know your sport sucks is to make it faster. Until the batter can bring the bat with him. And you can get a guy out by hitting him with the ball. You can, right? No. Yeah.
00:31:27
Speaker
No, if a guy is trying to steal second and you peg him in the head, that should be, yeah, he's out. Actually, I think that used to be a rule. God, that would be amazing. I think that was a rule. You could throw the ball at somebody and get him out. Yeah. They might have changed that because of safety reasons. Yeah. Or like you're running down the line with your bat and the ball's coming at you, you swat it again.
00:31:50
Speaker
Yeah, that would be something.
Sports Disinterest and Event Costs
00:31:52
Speaker
Yeah, baseball is the only sport where 90% of the players are not involved in the sport. Oh, yeah. You know, most of the people who are on that field or in the dugouts or whatever are not playing that game right now at any given time. Yeah. Yeah. And I know my father-in-law is so disappointed because he's a huge baseball fan. He's like, once I talk baseball, I'm like, they hit the ball. He's like, but you played baseball in high school. I was like, yeah, and I hated it. I hated it. I loathed it. Yeah.
00:32:19
Speaker
Yeah, I did not enjoy playing baseball. No, I was seriously that guy. That was when they would put me in the outfield. I'm going, don't hit it to me. Whatever you do, don't hit it to me. God, I will sacrifice goats in your name. Just don't hit it to me. They put me in shortstop when I was a kid. Oh, yeah. Very quickly learned that I had no interest in. Yeah. Yeah. I remember one time that I was playing on. So yeah, I was stupid enough to even play on a summer league one year and they were like,
00:32:48
Speaker
We need somebody to fill in for pitching. Chris, do you want to pitch? I was like, no, but OK. Sure. He surely found out that I have two pitches, a change up and a slower change up. Change up, change up. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, yeah, speed it up. I'm like, you're getting what I got. Yeah. Yeah. Baseball never never clicked with me.
00:33:10
Speaker
Yeah. But even now, I mean, I was talking to my friends. We've really gone way off the reservation here. But I don't even really want to watch football anymore. No. Football's got so boring. God, I watched like me. I watched part of the Super Bowl. Yeah. And a couple other games. But yeah, yeah, there was a time I was like, Sunday, I'm watching
00:33:29
Speaker
Yeah. All these games. Well, and part of it, I think, was back then I was doing fantasy football. So I wanted to see all these plays happen. Sure. Now I'm like, OK, you know, I'll check the scoreboard Monday. And I still have guys like, oh, man, you know, like the other day somebody's like, yeah, what do you think about the Raiders losing or getting so and so for their new quarterback? I was like, oh, we got a new quarterback. Well, that's me with the Eagles. Like, I don't think I've ever I've never been the guy could tell you every player, you know, but I have friends who are like, what do you think about this guy plays for Tampa Bay? I'm like, I don't know what the.
00:33:59
Speaker
I don't even. That's the box. What? I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, I can tell you who's going to lose the Raiders or leave the Raiders because I'll have their jersey. Because whenever somebody gets me a jersey from a Raiders player, they leave within a season. That's fair. And then they have the best season in their lives. Yes. So you get to get out there. Of course. That's why I got like a Reggie Jackson Eagles jersey. I'm like getting an old players jersey that way. Yeah. I've got I've got a Raiders jersey that has my name on it. That's.
00:34:28
Speaker
But, Oh yeah. Well, I have a Howie long Jersey, which great. My father got it for me. It's a field Jersey. So it's like an actual stadium. You know, when they would wear, it's a double X or triple XL. I'm like, father, when would I ever fit into this? So I guess I'll put your pads on. Yeah. Yeah. And somebody else's pads. Yeah. Yeah. But like football now with the instant replays and the challenges and oh my God, it's become, and the penalties are. Oh yeah.
00:34:55
Speaker
Again, you're getting paid millions of dollars fight like animals for an hour Yeah, I mean we used to watch football at the state at the station Like if you worked a Sunday you were excited because you're gonna watch football all day. Yeah now I'm just like us. I'm gonna go my office and read I don't care That's I don't know. Maybe it's cuz I'm getting older. I don't know what it is. I just lost my interest in the sports Yeah, maybe I'm looking at the fact that they're getting paying millions of dollars and I can't afford to go to a game and
00:35:25
Speaker
Um, that's a big part of it too. Yeah, it was net. I never went to a football. I've never paid to go to football game, but I've paid to go to hockey games and baseball games. I've never been to a hockey game. I love hockey games. They do a lot of icing. I've heard there's some amount of ice, but, uh, I love hockey. I wish I had followed through and played hockey as a kid, but, um,
00:35:50
Speaker
Used to be, like I was a college kid, so I worked a shitty job, but I could comfortably go to a game. You know, I could pay, because I live close to Philly, but he still got park and all that stuff. You might spend like, let's say 80 bucks. That was with beers and food and parking and the game. It was like 80 bucks. It's 80 bucks to get in the door now. It's ridiculous. It's insane.
00:36:18
Speaker
And you want two beers, that's 80 bucks. Yeah. And it's like 40 bucks to park. It's it's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, now you have all those weird things like, you know, oh, there's competitive cornhole and pickleball and competitive juggling. I saw the other day competitive tag.
00:36:35
Speaker
Yeah, it was actually interesting. It was kind of cool to watch. They got like the whole frame that it's all parkour and everything. I'd rather watch that than baseball. Yeah, I agree. I would rather watch the baseball those days. I will say they're like the crack of a bat. This can tie back into your topic. That is iconic. Yes. Yeah, that crack of hitting the ball. You know what that sound is. You know, it's also. Oh, and this is like very, very, very similar. My dad.
00:37:05
Speaker
because he worked very hard and Sundays were he didn't really watch football, but he would listen to it on the radio. Oh, yeah. And there's something about for me listening, listening to football on the radio that is like soothing compared to
00:37:23
Speaker
compared to watching it. Because when you listen to a football game, it's like there's no bullshit. You're not watching Dancing Robots. It's just a guy. It's poor guys who have to draw those lines on the field all the time. How do you get those lines out there so quick? But you don't have all that crap. You just have people describing the game. And there's just something iconic about that. Like playing through baseball, listening to announcers talk about baseball. Kerry Kerry. Kerry Kerry, yeah. But it's super iconic to me.
00:37:51
Speaker
listening to a hockey game is you got to do speed or something before you do that. It's like listening to soccer. Yeah, it's like listening to soccer. It's crazy. Yeah. But there's something very iconic about just the announcer talking about baseball and talking about football to me. Yeah. We're headed into the seventh inning brought to you by Nathan's Hot Dogs. Yeah. And I just there's something about me that loves baseball announcers coming up with crazy. Oh, yes. Yeah.
00:38:20
Speaker
You know, did you know that, uh, if he's the lead off hitter on a Wednesday, he's got an 80% chance to hit a home run. Yeah. What? They got to be making some of this stuff. Oh, it's all built. It's every bit of it. I guess in a lot of them and they were like, I think it was the break, the Orioles game the other day where the Orioles blew the game. And they're like, that was like a thousand percent chance that could have happened. I'm like,
00:38:47
Speaker
You did you do the actual math to figure out that it was in the thousandth percentile? What are you talking about? You know, craziness. Yeah. Sound of a lightsaber. That's iconic. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm assuming we're going to talk about that topic too. Yeah. Holding off on. Oh, yes. That you have a lightsaber. Yeah.
00:39:17
Speaker
The Tarzan yell. Yeah. Tarzan yell. Is that relevant anymore do you think? I don't know. Like if you played that for your kids, would they know what that is? I don't know. I think I'm going to do it Monday when I go back to work. Just walk down the office. Well, all the old fucks you work with know what that is. But would the kids know about it? I would bet there's people who we work with who don't know what that is. Nick wouldn't know what it is.
00:39:42
Speaker
Yeah, I bet there's people who don't really know what Tarzan is. Yeah, there has been a Tarzan anything in a while. Yeah, I think there was a Tarzan movie in the 80s. That's why they were the Disney ones. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. But I don't know if he did the yell. I don't
Iconic Childhood Movies and Sounds
00:40:03
Speaker
know. They're watching. And I feel like I missed out on a lot of what these people called iconic Disney.
00:40:11
Speaker
Uh, some of them, maybe, but. Which is we were when we were little. That was like the low point of Disney, it feels like, you know, we had. Yeah, that VHS. VHS Kate Cassette that was like in that white puffy. The white plastic thing. Yeah. But even that was even. That wasn't when we were kids. No, that was. I think about till we were teens. You know, when we were kids, like.
00:40:40
Speaker
You watched like my parents were like, we're going to go watch Snow White because they're re-releasing Snow White in films. That's amazing. And like, that was the only one that goes back in the vault. It goes back in the vault. You're not going to see it. And we had we owned Fantasia on Betamax because my dad loved Fantasia. But I was like, that was really the only Disney stuff that we really watched. Yeah. Yeah. You know, best Disney movie ever Robin Hood.
00:41:11
Speaker
I'm going to have to argue. That's my number two. You got to say. Sword and Stone is definitely my favorite Disney movie. I mean, Sword and Stone is pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty good. But, you know, Robin Hood is right up there. It's interesting, like, Robin Hood and Sword and Stone is. It's got a lot of good Robin Hood movies. It's not a lot of good King Arthur movies. No. No, there's not. No.
00:41:39
Speaker
No, there's like the Excalibur, the classic 70s with Jean-Luc Picard. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. And then there's the sort of stuff. That's about all I can tell you. Yeah. Well, wasn't it? They remade it like recently with Gerard Butler and people.
00:42:02
Speaker
It's like a more realistic butler. I know it's what you're talking about. I don't think that's sure. But I think it's the other guy that looks like Gerard Depardieu. No, definitely. Oh, no, he's that other guy. Oh, God. The guy from Columbus. Oh, no, it's not Gerard Butler. It's. Yeah, it's.
00:42:29
Speaker
Oh, it's going to feel bad, sir. Yeah, it's it's the movie guy from the movie Gamer, I think. Yeah, the movie was King Arthur. What's his name? Cast. That's what I want. I want the cast. You stupid Clive Owen. Yeah, Clive. Oh, that guy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was OK. Yeah. Yeah. There was the one with Sean Connery first night. Robert Redford.
00:42:58
Speaker
Was Lance a lot? Yeah. Oh, Richard Gere. Richard Gere. Yes, sorry. I don't know. It's not a good movie. No, no, it's not. Yeah, the transformer sound. Oh, the. Yeah. Yeah, exactly what it is. Yeah, you do. Just from the cartoon. Yep. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I guess they do that sound in the movie, I'm assuming. They do in some of them.
00:43:28
Speaker
The Bumblebee movie they did and that's, that was good. I hope they would. Yeah. Yeah. Those are some iconic sounds too. Yeah. The Yo Joe. The more you know, that sound as it comes up with the little rainbow. There's just some good iconic sounds from the eighties. Yeah. You're there. You're there. Yeah.
00:43:58
Speaker
I'm sure that, you know, kids have their Pokemon sounds. I don't. Yeah. And for Pokemon has. Never got a Pokemon. Yeah. Sure. Squirtle. Squirtle. That is the end of my Pokemon knowledge. Yeah. Well, because they all just say their names, right? I'm assuming. Weird inflections and things. Well, it's like you just walk around raw.
00:44:28
Speaker
with the work all day. Run, run. Run, run. Hungry. Third person day. Third person Thursdays. It is five 20. Why is dinner not on the plate? At work we eat at 11 o'clock. We eat at five 20 in the evening. They're like old people. Yeah.
00:44:54
Speaker
I was like, they would have worked with your guys. They were eating at like quarter of 11. I was like, what are you doing? And they're looking at me. I was like, oh, yeah, that's right. That's what you do on shift. You eat early because you never know when you're going to get a chance to eat. Yeah. Well, you also like we've been at work since seven. So you got up at, you know, I got up at three. So like 11 o'clock, I'm like, OK, I need food. Yeah.
00:45:14
Speaker
No, but you know, you get up. It's like most people they eat because they didn't get to work till eight. They didn't noon. Yeah. You know, you maniacs and admin because you're getting on at seven two for some reason. Yeah. So I can leave at three thirty. That's fair. It's also probably the only time you get any work done. Exactly. That first hour is amazing. Yeah. Yep. And then Darren gets there and the maniacs arrive. Yeah. And it's just it's seriously productivity just grinds to a halt because it's
00:45:41
Speaker
Well, and then it's everybody stopping in on their way, and, hey, what'd you do last night? I went to sleep, go away. I mean, I booked you all week, so, you know. Nah, you're fine. Those are happy distractions. Because I couldn't allow myself. This is how crazy my room is. I couldn't, even though I didn't have to be there till 8.
00:46:01
Speaker
I couldn't allow myself to not be there at seven. Oh yeah. Yeah. My brain is crazy. Right. Yeah. It's just the way we're wired now. I stayed at the hotel in Salisbury. Five minutes from the station. Yeah. And I got into the station at 6 45. Because I bet at 6 30, you were sitting on the edge of the bed, fully dressed, ready to go going. Yeah. And the Wi-Fi sucks. It could leave. And there were two channels on the TV, BOC and something else.
00:46:32
Speaker
And I can only listen to BOC for about six minutes before I'm like, okay. Yeah. I gotta go. So yeah, but yeah, my brain wouldn't allow me to sit there until, till I, crazy. Well, topic two, I guess. Yeah, sure. Topic two.
Star Wars Celebration and Ahsoka Trailer
00:46:50
Speaker
Um, so we kind of talked about this in the pre-show just like for 10 seconds, if not, uh, Star Wars celebrations going on.
00:46:58
Speaker
It is. Make some in some big announcements, big trailers. Did you see the SD cards that have light up lightsabers on them? No, for each lightsaber. I did not see those. Get the Obi-Wan SD card. Wait, people still use SD cards? Of course. I didn't know. What? Solid storage device. What are you talking about? You're talking about the little.
00:47:26
Speaker
Tiny memory cards, memory cards. Yeah, of course. What do they go in? Your USB socket in a computer. Oh, you're talking about like a thumb drive. Yeah. Oh, I thought you talked about the little like flat, chippy things that like went into cameras and stuff. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. I like those memories. Good memories. Like solid. OK. Yeah. OK. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But they're lightsabers. They light up. So when you plug them in, they power up in their lightsabers. Oh, it doesn't make the noise. Oh, I don't know.
00:47:56
Speaker
God, that'd be pretty cool. God, if it did, I'd buy them all. That was the most important. You notice that they're all day plug-in, plug-out, plug-in, plug-in, plug-in. That is clearly the most important thing that happened at Sowers Day and the conversation over. We don't have so many else. That's it. Yeah, yeah. We don't have to talk about the Ahsoka trailer. So I broke my rule. So you watched the trailer. Because someone else sent it to me and I watched it.
00:48:19
Speaker
It's not a trailer, it's a teaser. That's my just that's my justification. It's not a trailer. Yeah. Oh, it's a teaser. It's a teaser trailer. Whatever it is. Oh, my God. We saw a hero. We saw. We saw Sabine Sabine. We saw so many things. We saw a throne. I think we saw Ezra. Oh, wait. She's talking to somebody on a hologram. That could have been Ezra. And he's.
00:48:50
Speaker
Got black hair. Oh, so we're in a flight suit. It could have been Ezra. Oh, Ezra is a qualified pilot. Yeah. Got a chopper. Chopper. Yeah. And we've seen Zeb in Mandalorian now. So we saw Zeb in Mandalorian, who I think is flying a B wing. But, you know. Yeah. That makes sense. I have arguments. Yeah. How long do his people live? We don't know. He's the only one we know of, right? No, there's a whole planet of them.
00:49:20
Speaker
And they all die. I thought they all survived because I thought that's where they left. The guy in rebels, who was the turncoat imperial. You know, go on that car, Saxon. I thought they left him at that planet. The movie did camera. I can watch rebels again. Yeah. Got to watch bad batch still. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, we saw Sabine.
00:49:48
Speaker
Yes, very clearly. As soon as I saw her hair, I'm like, that's a bean. Yep. You know, I know it's a hero. Didn't she was driving flying the ghost, though. No, she was flying the what is it, Spectre one or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. And Dolpho's all chopper. Yeah, it is. You heard that. And then we saw inquisitors.
00:50:17
Speaker
So I don't know. Were they inquisitors or because their lightsabers looked more orange than red. That was why I was saying inquisitors. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if that was a Sith. He definitely forced out the dude. That definitely happened. Yes. Yeah. For some fleet trooper. Callous callous was the guy in rebels. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Agent Callous. Yeah. Yep. I don't.
00:50:45
Speaker
No, if there are quizzers, I don't know what's going on there. Yeah. Clearly, we're talking about Thrawn. Right. Do we think we're going to see? Calcesses? Yeah, I think it's a strong possibility. Oh, is that not dropped this month? Yeah, it's the end of this month, April 20. I think there's something right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, April 28. That's a Friday.
00:51:16
Speaker
Looks like somebody's not going to be working on Friday. I mean, you could totally see Calcestas in this situation. Yeah. Because she even mentions Jedi. Yeah. Ashoka talks about Jedi. Yeah. Well, and oh, God, the droid. The droids in it that like took the Padawan's elf and like helped them make their lightsabers.
00:51:46
Speaker
Oh, oh, fun. She or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. And he was like, maybe it's time for something new. I didn't put that together. That's what it was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The deep cut there. Yeah. Yeah. And when does Ahsoka take place? It's got to be around Mandalorian. Well, has to be. Yeah. I mean, I would think I'm assuming it takes place for the first order.
00:52:15
Speaker
Oh, yeah, it's got to. Yeah, I'm thinking that it's going on right now in the Mandalorian. Yeah, I think it. Yeah. Or like, yeah, that's why we saw that star, uh, star destroyer and everything. I think that's the hints. I think we're going to really tie into Soka. Yeah. I think, I mean, this is my theory is that Moff Gideon doesn't isn't what's the imperial remnant that they're dealing with in Mandalorian.
00:52:45
Speaker
But, you know, or it's Thrawn, who is puppeting Gideon. Yeah. Well, because there was that thing. Was that they found Gideon's shuttle or whatever, and there was remnants of Beskar or something. Yes. Yeah. So he wasn't. And yeah. Yeah. How did Thrawn didn't have some tie with Beskar?
00:53:15
Speaker
the Mandalorians or something. Wasn't he using them? Didn't he? Wasn't he responsible for the bombing of Mandalore? Didn't that happen? Wasn't that thrallin? I think so. What if they're going to bring the Norgi back? Oh, this would be cool. Super cool assassin dudes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but it's OK. Oh, yes.
00:53:46
Speaker
You know, she's run her double lightsabers. Yep. Her double white lightsabers. Double white lightsabers. That she did the whole shoot into the floor and spin around her and. Yeah. Yeah. And that one shot looked really, really similar to the end of the Clone Wars.
00:54:10
Speaker
When we had that like seven episode, Dave Filoni loves us and gave us the tie up we needed. Right. Yeah. I just, the, I watched that season. I was like, I mean, I was already in. It didn't matter. I was already in. They sold me. It's August. That's not too far away. I can survive till August. You know, maybe the learning will be over by then. Yeah.
00:54:39
Speaker
I really hope they write the ship that is the Mandalorian right now. I haven't seen this week's yet. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. The season has felt aimless. Yes and no. I don't know. I think it's still fun that it's just every week's a different adventure kind of thing.
00:55:05
Speaker
Totally cool with that And I love that They're doing the whole katy sack off, you know, yeah world that you know, that's great uh, I just I I want them to tie some stuff up because we're on episode nine Is that right? Was that this week was episode nine? I I don't know. I think it was eight You know because it's also so weird because it starts it's like chapter 22 chapter 21. It's like yeah, what?
00:55:34
Speaker
Is annoying but yeah, they're just you know wrap some stuff up we got something on the horizon Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, yeah with Sabine clan Ren Yeah, what's Sabine gonna do when clan crease Is doing things and clan Ren still around right? Yeah, because as of the end of rebels clan Ren was still around. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I
00:56:03
Speaker
Right. Like Sabine's mom and brother are still around. Yeah. They're living on Concordia, I think, right? Yes, I think. So yeah, very excited. Oh yeah. Find out what Sabine's are doing. Yeah. And so it goes back as Sabine's back. Right. As her battery back too. Oh yeah. He's got to pop up. Yeah. Yeah. Got you. Yeah.
00:56:34
Speaker
Can't have. Well, because they went off to look for him, right? Yeah. Yeah, they would have gone off and looking for him if they didn't find him. Right. Why did they come back? Yeah, you don't come back without him. Yeah. Yeah, leave me behind. No, they really have the last Jedi behind. Because he is. Yeah, he.
Jedi Training and Thrawn Speculations
00:56:54
Speaker
The last Jedi. Right. He's the last person trained by a Jedi. Yeah, yeah, he was that still kind of.
00:57:04
Speaker
Yeah, because Ahsoka is cut off. Well, she left the Jedi. Yeah. And Cal Sestis has never been trained by Jedi. Well, sort of. He had. I guess he would be the last Jedi to. I don't know. He was a Padawan. Yeah. Yeah. He was very young in his training, but he was a Padawan. He didn't get that. He never got the training to get up tonight. Right. But you can definitely say that Canaan trained Ezra. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
00:57:34
Speaker
And Luke never got the real training and Luke's gone now. Yeah. Yeah. But it, at this point in time, Luke is still around. Yeah. Maybe that's a whole, it's time for something new. That's what I was going to say. Yeah, it's, yeah, it's time. You're not, you know, yeah, it's no longer absolutes. No more passionless people.
00:58:02
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, you can use the force. You can have a girlfriend. Right. Might be good for you. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can actually, you know, feel things and. Yeah. Have passions and. Yeah. You know. Yeah, which. So I saw this thing where the voice actors for Obi-Wan from the Clone Wars and
00:58:32
Speaker
What was. Oh, Catan's sister's name. So being a sateen sateen. Yeah, it was those two voice actors and they read like a thing from Romeo and Juliet. I was like, God, you could see Obi-Wan and her doing this. Yeah.
00:58:51
Speaker
Yeah. Poor poor Satine. Yeah. Poor Obi-Wan. Poor Obi-Wan. Yeah. But poor Satine. Yeah. I'm going to say that Satine had the rougher deal of the two of them. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was killed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Obi-Wan gets to go live in the desert for 18 years. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, with Ahsoka, do you think we'll have flashbacks to Maul? Um.
00:59:21
Speaker
Is it rebels that they kill them all off? Yeah, it was rebels, right, that they finally killed them all. Yeah, he finally confronts Obi-Wan realizes that Luke is. The one. Right. And yeah, Obi-Wan strikes him down. Yeah. So maybe. Yeah. Well, yeah, I guess because little walking spiders. Well, by then, he's got legs. Well, we're going to have flashbacks when he has a little. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Creepy, creepy Spider-Man.
00:59:51
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Who do they get to play Thrawn? Somebody blew. Do we have anybody? Yeah. Can you imagine like a Benedict Cumberbatch? No, no, no. He's not. Imposing enough. Yeah, he's not. He would be too dweeby to be thrown. Yeah.
01:00:18
Speaker
I know he's the internet's darling, but Henry Cavill would be a great thrawn. I'd also say the guy who played Colossus in Deadpool could make a thrawn, but he's a little too bulky. That'd be like imperious. Leave Schreiber. Oh, leave Schreiber. That'd be a great thrawn. That's it.
01:00:47
Speaker
Dave, we know you're listening. Yeah. If I have to call Favreau in on this, I will. Yeah. Yes, that is our answer. Deep Shiver. Deep Shiver is a great answer. Yeah. Yeah. How about Ezra? Who would play Ezra?
01:01:25
Speaker
Yeah, that's right. Preacher live action. There we go. Who's the guy? He's in. I zombie. Oh, wow. It's like Raul. Julia. Oh, it looks like they've already cast him. Oh, really?
01:01:54
Speaker
Oh, yeah, I don't I don't know if I want to look. It's not a name I recognize. Rahul Kohli would be my pick. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Rahul Kohli would be. Is he too old, though? So how much time has passed between rebels and Ashoka? We don't know. Yeah. Well, at least.
01:02:22
Speaker
It's at least been 20 years. Yeah. Right? Because we're assuming it's set after the Galactic Empire. So Luke is at least 18 and Luke was a like a three-year-old or something in Rebels. Right? Yeah. So how long between the Rebels and
01:02:52
Speaker
That doesn't tell me. I'm going to go with roll. That's my choice. Yeah, yeah, that's definitely a good one. Have they cast. That's right. Yeah. It's like some kid named Emmend Mina Masoud. Oh.
01:03:22
Speaker
Oh, they have a, they have a even better answer than we had for Thrawn. Really? Lars Mikkelsen. I know that name. Yes, you do. Oh God. Yes, that's Thrawn.
01:03:46
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Yeah, a better answer than. Yeah, that's definitely imposing. Oh, he's any mad because his brother or something. Probably. There's only I mean, Mickelson's not a very prominent name. Well, we don't know that. It's probably like Jim's over there. It could be a billion. Mickelson's. Hmm. Yeah. Well, then Leap Shower could be a flashback to callous.
01:04:13
Speaker
Uh, yeah, that's. He's got the mutton chops in some of the shots. Yeah, I want to know who that. He's are in a teaser who the. It's not, I wouldn't say Sith, whatever he is. Yeah. Who that is. Yeah. Well, and there's also a girl. Yes. Yeah, I don't know. I don't read through the teaser, but that's not the right. Yeah.
01:04:42
Speaker
Yeah, it's one of those. Yeah, definitely. Definitely has me excited for the continuation of Star Wars. Yes, there. Well, I did see that they're talking about they need to do a movie. Well, there's also the skeleton crew coming out, and that's Jude Law. I don't know if it's a movie or a show. Who is this guy?
01:05:12
Speaker
It looks like the guy, the actor looks like the guy from Rome who's playing that Sith guy. But I don't know. I'll just stick it through the teaser at this point. Today during Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase. It is. That's who it is. Who?
01:05:40
Speaker
It's really good in everything I see him in. Ray Stevenson. OK. Hmm. Oh, they announced three movies yesterday. Oh, really? So. And three different directors for people helming them.
New Star Wars Movies and Daisy Ridley
01:06:01
Speaker
James Mangold. He had Logan, Indiana Jones and the Doll of Destiny, Dave Filoni. We know him and then.
01:06:09
Speaker
Charmaine obeyed Chinoy, Miss Marvel, and Saving Face. Mangold's movie will go back to the dawn of the Jedi. Dave Filoni's will focus on the New Republic and close out the interconnected stories told in the Mandalorian, the Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and other Disney Plus series. Charmaine obeyed Chinoy's film will be set after the Rise of Skywalker and feature Daisy Ridley back as Rey as she builds a new Jedi order. Really? I thought Daisy Ridley was
01:06:38
Speaker
That's what I thought. I thought she had sworn off Star Wars. Yeah. But I, I'm glad they're not like, oh, it's going to be another trilogy, right? It's three separate things. But those could be good. I the one has me worried, but.
01:06:59
Speaker
Maybe they can turn it around. They could totally turn. I mean, she's a fine actress. Oh, yeah. The material was bad. Yeah. So maybe they could redeem it. She wakes up and it was all a dream. But a one-off would be probably way better than trying to do a trilogy at this point. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. Yeah. So it's going to be an old republic, old republic, I guess. And I would be even older. Oh, mangled? Yeah.
01:07:29
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Or is it going to be like way, way back, like high Republic? Right. High, high Republic. Yeah. It's good to be a Star Wars fan. It's great to be a Star Wars fan now. Yep. And everybody's a Star Wars fan, it seems like. Yeah. You know, it's like, it's definitely become more mainstream. Oh my gosh, yes. With the shows. Yep. Which has been great views for everybody.

01:08:00
Speaker
Yeah. So everybody out there, you know, rewatch the Ahsoka trailer numerous times. Tear it apart. Tear it apart. Go watch. Sure. It's already on YouTube. There's people that have dissected it.

And see it's not. The. Orange one. Well, she calls her. It says like warrior, rebel, Jedi. Yeah, it's not Jedi. Yeah. I'm looking for the love cat now. There's Sabine. Camera how far in it was. That's what they say. Yeah. And like you got to look at Sabine like around her waist. Does she have the dark saber back? Oh, I don't think so. Yeah. She's not in her armor either.
01:09:27
Speaker
Yeah, it's true. Yeah, she's. She does not have the dark saber. No. That I can say. Yeah. It might be towards the end, I don't know, but they're definitely in Ezra's little perch that was on top of that spire back on. Where were they? Whatever planet he was from before.
01:09:57
