Uh, gonna talk about some funny things.

00:00:23.789 --> 00:00:30.730
Things Talk about Comic-Con came to town and neither of us had ever been so definitely going to just kind of mention what that experience was like.

00:00:30.730 --> 00:00:36.591
And then I have a gift for Pat.

00:00:36.899 --> 00:00:53.765
See, pat has mentioned several times how AI, for some reason, when it's generating music in these videos that people are posting, it seems to be generating music with homoerotic undertones, which is hilarious.

00:00:53.765 --> 00:00:56.231
Nothing wrong with that, it's just funny.

00:00:56.231 --> 00:00:59.380
Especially with the country music, it's really funny.

00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:21.930
I have some AI-generating music I worked on, I rehearsed and developed and developed with friends to really try to bring you something special tonight, a couple funny stories, but then, yeah, that's kind of what we are just going to go on and out.

00:02:28.350 --> 00:02:32.741
Uh, pat, I did get reached out to just, by the way, to tell you this.

00:02:32.741 --> 00:02:49.227
I sent you know this very long video, this very detailed video on how I had jury rigged a dry fire mag for the P320 to fit the flux, oh yeah, and it's grip and all that.

00:02:49.227 --> 00:02:59.771
And I sent the video in an email with how I did it to the people at dry fire mag and I was like, hey, if you could make a product that could do this and wouldn't need any jury rigging like that'd be sick.

00:02:59.771 --> 00:03:12.768
But here's how I did it and they thought it was so cool that they offered us a sponsorship, cause I was like yeah, I was like also, we just love your stuff and I have a podcast and they're like, well, we'd love to be like you should be an affiliate.

00:03:12.829 --> 00:03:17.340
So so now, you know, dry fire mag is hopefully going to be an affiliate as well.

00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:44.875
You know, as we go through that dude, Comic-Con, comic-con man you know I'm not here to be mean or dunk on anyone who likes to go to Comic-Con, because I will say like, when I walked in through the doors I was totally just big old smile on my face Seeing like the Ghostb people.

00:03:44.875 --> 00:03:56.210
They're set up with their ghostbuster like table booth and they're like putting the backpacks on kids and showing the kids how to do like the settings and blast ghosts, and I was like this is awesome.

00:03:56.210 --> 00:04:05.661
Um, there was, immediately when I walked in, I saw three armed security guys, uh, who were part of a security company out of here and they were free alarmed, not with.

00:04:05.721 --> 00:04:11.901
Yeah, they had gun and two mags, yeah and they they were like very professional and like polite.

00:04:11.901 --> 00:04:19.394
They weren't like really rent-a-cop people, right, you know um and uh, it was 25 bucks.

00:04:19.394 --> 00:04:21.504
It was cool and I was pretty shocked.

00:04:21.504 --> 00:04:30.360
There was like some big you know uh I don't know what you would say like geek nerd celebrities there that were signing stuff and doing meet and greets at tables.

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:41.204
The guy who played the green ghost in um ghostbusters like the green ooze ghost that flies around is like green and slimy.

00:04:42.045 --> 00:04:49.588
The guy who puppeted that was there really yeah, I was like that's cool, like I never knew that guy was, but it was cool that he was there.

00:04:49.588 --> 00:04:50.572
So how were there?

00:04:50.572 --> 00:04:53.144
A lot of people there there was, easily.

00:04:53.144 --> 00:04:58.939
When I went, I went at like 3 pm on saturday, it was done by six.

00:04:58.939 --> 00:05:01.043
Right, it was going to be done by six on saturday.

00:05:01.043 --> 00:05:10.226
So I went way after probably like the main bulk of people went and it was still like over a thousand people, wow.

00:05:10.528 --> 00:05:15.341
So, and like you know, it was like our small town, like event center.

00:05:15.341 --> 00:05:24.148
You know, this isn't like we're not talking like San Antonio or LA here, we're talking pretty rural, um, and so it was pretty cool.

00:05:24.148 --> 00:05:25.990
Everyone seemed very nice.

00:05:25.990 --> 00:05:35.853
Um, I will say, uh, it was very hard to determine what pronouns people wanted to go by for the most.

00:05:35.853 --> 00:05:44.250
Like, I'll say like 20 of them were very like how do you want me to refer to you if I, if we interact?

00:05:44.250 --> 00:05:57.307
And then 80 was like very clearly like that's a chick, that's a dude, um, male, female and because it's comic-con, a is I don't know it's like.

00:05:57.466 --> 00:05:58.870
Is it a broad term?

00:05:59.129 --> 00:06:00.291
it is or is there an?

00:06:00.312 --> 00:06:04.997
official like is there an official comic-con that puts on, I think, all of it's you know?

00:06:05.238 --> 00:06:11.315
I mean I think comic-con is like a sponsored or not sponsored but org.

00:06:11.315 --> 00:06:19.584
You know, that is like sets up these things and like you apply to have a comic-con in your town or you have coordinate it and it's all volunteer based or something.

00:06:19.584 --> 00:06:20.225
I'm not sure.

00:06:20.225 --> 00:06:35.480
But comic-con definitely probably at one point was about comics and now it expanded into like covering like film, tv movies, video games, board games, you know just aesthetic of like a ton of stuff.

00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:43.790
Um, so all I said it was very, it was very enthusiastic.

00:06:44.031 --> 00:06:50.723
Everyone dressed in their like funny costumes and like doing actual cosplay like.

00:06:50.723 --> 00:07:00.208
I saw a couple cosplays that I was like wow, that that is straight up an anthropomorphic person like you know.

00:07:00.208 --> 00:07:04.403
I mean like that is a very like that's not like a plushy furry suit.

00:07:04.403 --> 00:07:07.009
I'm like that looks like a werewolf walking around.

00:07:07.009 --> 00:07:08.072
And then there was other ones.

00:07:08.072 --> 00:07:15.605
I was like that is to a T Jurassic Park, like a staff vest and shorts and everything and they were posing with the car.

00:07:15.605 --> 00:07:30.771
The other one I saw was like just people being like fantasy characters from like Dungeons and Dragons and stuff, and I was like that looks like a tiefling, like a devilish person, and it was very convincing, it was very well done.

00:07:30.771 --> 00:07:35.536
Like people put you know thousands and thousands of dollars into these people put hours into this.

00:07:35.576 --> 00:07:41.752
I was in a very impressive, I was in a customer's house and it was, yeah, like her whole basement was all that.

00:07:41.752 --> 00:07:51.769
Um, just, it was all bins and beads and like sewing needles and like I bet she was at comic-con rubber thing, you know, just like whatever.

00:07:51.809 --> 00:07:52.911
What to craft these?

00:07:52.911 --> 00:08:03.490
And she had these crazy suits that she was making on the mannequins, um, I think like a distant third cousin or something, who's they're like all in, or it's like they.

00:08:03.490 --> 00:08:04.855
That's what they do all like.

00:08:04.855 --> 00:08:12.252
Their hobby is building the costume for whatever the next event is, and they go, they go hard.

00:08:12.512 --> 00:08:12.934
That's cool.

00:08:12.934 --> 00:08:13.762
That's cool.

00:08:13.762 --> 00:08:14.363
Yeah, I did.

00:08:14.363 --> 00:08:16.670
It is surprising because, like if I built one, I'd wear it.

00:08:16.670 --> 00:08:20.668
Like if I built a master chief costume, I'd wear master chief everywhere.

00:08:20.668 --> 00:08:22.471
Yeah, all the time I.

00:08:22.471 --> 00:08:30.783
But they like build it for one event and then they just toss it or not toss it, but like they recycle it, repurpose it and they just do another one and they're like one and done.

00:08:30.923 --> 00:08:41.923
I'm like there's a lot of work for one and done oh, yeah, not you won't catch me doing that, but, um yeah, so some of the those are some of like the positive things.

00:08:41.923 --> 00:08:45.912
Dude, there was this, uh, group of military vets.

00:08:46.172 --> 00:09:09.250
I think they were all like from corps of engineers or something like that, but they were all supposed to be veterans, um, and they, uh, they had built the most sophisticated r2d2s I've ever seen in my life, like straight up infrared sensor and like insanely quick playback, like whatever you say they were responding to.

00:09:09.250 --> 00:09:12.720
And there was a part where, like I was talking, I was like, wow, this thing's insane.

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:18.809
And it like responded with my voice but synthesized in under a second oh my God.

00:09:18.809 --> 00:09:21.527
And like the guy was like he had no joysticks in hand or anything like that.

00:09:21.527 --> 00:09:27.254
And he, like he showed me he had a controller to like steer it if need to be and press buttons or something.

00:09:27.254 --> 00:09:31.067
But he's like, yeah, it's also, you just program it to do stuff.

00:09:31.067 --> 00:09:32.212
And like it.

00:09:32.232 --> 00:09:33.639
Just like I was like wow, this is so cool.

00:09:33.639 --> 00:10:05.100
And it was like I was like, oh my gosh, dude, I don't remember I looked right over, it was like it was pretty cool because there's this chick who was definitely just a, a pretty, like you know, I would say, upper middle class, very attractive by modern standards, mom, and she was definitely there with her kiddos showing them around and stuff, not cosplaying, and I it was like her and I had this moment where we looked at each other from these r2d2s and both of us like this is the coolest thing I've seen here.

00:10:05.100 --> 00:10:08.571
That is not like kind of silly, you know what I mean.

00:10:08.571 --> 00:10:10.966
It was like registered in both our brains.

00:10:10.966 --> 00:10:11.950
That's awesome.

00:10:11.950 --> 00:10:16.048
The guys took a moment to show us around, like show us them and how they work, and it was pretty sick.

00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:26.883
All the Star Wars stuff was also like you're like oh, yeah, okay, yeah, okay, it's just kind of king.

00:10:26.883 --> 00:10:29.389
Yeah, the star wars is easily the king of like replicas and making.

00:10:29.389 --> 00:10:33.437
Yeah, I think I showed you a picture of like all the um clone trooper heads on pikes.

00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:43.288
Yep, that were like, those were awesome I was like this is so life-size, that was a huge display and I think maybe, gosh, I want to get a droid.

00:10:43.288 --> 00:10:47.746
That's just a radon monitor, like its main function is that.

00:10:47.746 --> 00:10:53.288
But you just like show up at people's houses with an R2 droid and it just comes in and you're like what is that?

00:10:53.288 --> 00:10:54.928
And you're like this is the radon monitor.

00:10:55.580 --> 00:10:58.328
And it's just like you can also talk to it if you want.

00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.350
All this sophisticated technology and he just monitors radon?

00:11:02.350 --> 00:11:04.405
Yep, he just makes my job easier.

00:11:04.405 --> 00:11:08.144
Yeah, technology and he just monitors radon yep, he just makes it my job easier.

00:11:08.144 --> 00:11:08.504
Yeah, and funner.

00:11:08.504 --> 00:11:10.450
It's like that bit from rick and morty's like what is my purpose?

00:11:10.450 --> 00:11:14.903
It's like you cut and spread butter on toast oh, my god, kill me.

00:11:14.903 --> 00:11:20.331
Yeah, um, but yeah, so that that was a.

00:11:20.331 --> 00:11:30.292
That's pretty cool, um, but I will say the stereotype holds very strong on comic con, like one of the most like accurate things.

00:11:30.292 --> 00:11:43.607
That like I don't even know if you can say a stereotype, if it's the truth like, yeah, I think there were like five bearded ladies that weren't makeup, like it was just ladies with beards.

00:11:43.607 --> 00:11:58.245
Yeah, um, and then there was definitely like the spectrum, of the spectrum primarily, you know, when we're talking like a bell curve right of you know, uh, person persons.

00:11:58.245 --> 00:12:10.876
There were the like obscenely overweight, really like struggling to enjoy the time there and like making it known to everybody.

00:12:10.876 --> 00:12:11.236
Right.

00:12:11.581 --> 00:12:29.576
Like I'm not having fun because I'm having to walk around and there's not enough places to kind of sit and chill, and then the like if the wind blows, you will get picked up with leaves, yeah, and blow away like skinny body.

00:12:29.596 --> 00:12:29.879
You know what?

00:12:29.899 --> 00:12:33.009
I mean, and like there was hardly anything in between.

00:12:33.009 --> 00:12:36.724
I'm exaggerating, right, but like that was, like definitely.

00:12:36.724 --> 00:12:40.966
Like you're like wow, that is the demographic, it's both ends of that, right.

00:12:40.966 --> 00:12:46.801
Like very rarely you find like just a average person body type you know, what I mean.

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:48.302
Some words do come to mind.

00:12:48.403 --> 00:12:53.833
It would be like pasty honestly, no, no, no, let me correct you on that.

00:12:53.833 --> 00:12:55.562
Let me correct you.

00:12:55.562 --> 00:13:14.033
Yeah, I think there were way more hispanic and asian and indian people than there were, like white people, like I think white people were not the majority, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were, like, you know, 25, 20, you know.

00:13:14.033 --> 00:13:22.144
I mean like it was not predominantly pasty white people, so it'd be like pasty, if you could be like you know, like lots of like, yeah, like, lots of times.

00:13:22.163 --> 00:13:24.428
You know, like I I'll go in a.

00:13:24.688 --> 00:13:27.014
you know I'm in tons of customers' houses and things too right.

00:13:27.014 --> 00:13:29.527
You know, just like you and people's house and just like there is.

00:13:29.527 --> 00:13:47.123
Like we were in this one dude's house the other day and it was just straight up like he is in his forties in mom's basement, oh damn, with like lots of like trinkety, model type things, the things he's into.

00:13:47.123 --> 00:13:51.293
I bet he could talk forever about the things he's into.

00:13:51.293 --> 00:13:52.585
Sure, I bet he knows it.

00:13:53.783 --> 00:13:57.379
But those universes, he also lives in his mom's basement.

00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:02.605
Yeah, those things he talks about may be all fictional universe, but anyways there's that.

00:14:02.605 --> 00:14:05.501
People get all in, dude, people go all in.

00:14:06.043 --> 00:14:07.306
Yeah's.

00:14:07.306 --> 00:14:12.787
Uh, it was pretty sick, um, but it was also kind of like it was kind of sad, don't get me wrong.

00:14:12.787 --> 00:14:14.071
Like I'm gonna be 100% honest.

00:14:14.071 --> 00:14:23.770
There are things that I saw that I was like wow, that's really impressive, that is a real commitment to the craft, and like I respect anyone who can put that labor of love in it for a passion.

00:14:23.770 --> 00:14:34.466
And then I saw other things where I'm like I wish I had the courage to tell you that your life could be better if you just put some effort into it.

00:14:34.586 --> 00:14:35.369
You know what I mean.

00:14:35.369 --> 00:14:38.509
It's either multi-thousand dollar costumes or sweatpants.

00:14:38.668 --> 00:14:41.866
But honestly too, like I imagine if you go to PlumberCon it's the same thing.

00:14:41.866 --> 00:14:43.071
Oh yeah, you know what I mean.

00:14:43.071 --> 00:14:44.572
I imagine you go to plumber con it's the same thing.

00:14:44.572 --> 00:14:45.773
Oh yeah, you know, I mean, I imagine you go to plumber con.

00:14:45.773 --> 00:14:47.173
There's like you're gonna see people who you're like.

00:14:47.173 --> 00:14:53.998
Oh my god, you miserable person like someone needs to like have a intervention for you and your lifestyle lots of how much butt crack.

00:14:54.038 --> 00:14:54.841
Is it a plumber con?

00:14:55.342 --> 00:15:03.788
I mean that's I bet they take posed photos of everyone just bending over and showing their butts, just like dude someone out there like bend a plumber con and be like they know.

00:15:03.889 --> 00:15:08.326
they know Like on average a plumber con brings in like.

00:15:08.326 --> 00:15:15.111
If you could wrap like, but it's like 14 football fields of crack out of plumber con.

00:15:16.402 --> 00:15:36.912
I will say the other thing too was like you walk in the doors of this convention and for some reason it felt like the AC was not on at all and it was like it convention, and for some reason it felt like the ac was not on at all and it was like it went from like immediately, kind of like humid, slight, sweaty smell, and it would just go to like the most like sour, rancid, like not bathed in months smell, like it just depended what.

00:15:36.912 --> 00:15:37.373
Who are you?

00:15:37.373 --> 00:15:38.221
Who are you behind?

00:15:38.260 --> 00:15:46.484
yeah, it never once smelled good yeah and like I'm like, why the aren't they opening doors, like there's clearly not air circulating in this room?

00:15:46.583 --> 00:15:47.426
it looked like for the pictures.

00:15:47.426 --> 00:15:52.870
You're somewhere kind of old like a school, or it wasn't, like an event, it was, uh, it was no, it was event center.

00:15:52.889 --> 00:15:53.410
Yeah, it was.

00:15:53.410 --> 00:16:01.764
It was an activity center here in town, um that, like it's definitely age you know I mean it's not like we have a ton of huge brand new.

00:16:01.764 --> 00:16:03.789
It's not like it's on the university campus.

00:16:03.789 --> 00:16:29.436
You know what I mean for sure um, the other thing that was cool was like they just had like two giant rooms of just like anyone who wanted to sell something like get a table, come up, sell stuff, and I saw some pretty impressive like artwork that was like being done, live there and there people were selling um, and then I saw definitely just like boosts of just like 3d printed and ai generated stuff that I'm like I cannot believe someone's gonna pay 10 bucks for this yeah

00:16:29.677 --> 00:16:31.322
like it costs nine cents to print it.

00:16:31.322 --> 00:16:32.447
You know what I mean?

00:16:32.447 --> 00:16:33.529
Yeah, um.

00:16:33.529 --> 00:16:43.370
And then, lastly, the other stuff that I saw being sold was a ton of like writers trying to sell their books and like no one had.

00:16:43.370 --> 00:16:45.053
Like this is my first book.

00:16:45.053 --> 00:16:45.774
Like here we go.

00:16:45.774 --> 00:16:47.145
Like check my book out.

00:16:47.145 --> 00:16:49.527
I have a plan, here's my book.

00:16:49.527 --> 00:16:52.826
Everyone was like this is my 30th book, please buy it.

00:16:52.905 --> 00:17:06.803
And like you're just like dude, if, if, if you're here still peddling these books and I've never heard of you and you got 30, some book and like no one, like I was, I was walking around for a while just baiting if there's anything I wanted to buy.

00:17:06.803 --> 00:17:12.282
Never once was so like, oh my god, you're the author of whatever, whatever.

00:17:12.282 --> 00:17:15.147
And like everyone just couldn't care less.

00:17:15.147 --> 00:17:18.013
And I was like bro, like this hurts.

00:17:18.054 --> 00:17:19.162
How many of those are out there?

00:17:19.162 --> 00:17:33.300
There had to be 30 tables of novelists like that wow yeah and like you hear about that like insane like in la there's like behind production companies or like, yeah, production companies, or whatever.

00:17:33.300 --> 00:17:40.534
Like there's like just dumpster, dumpsters full of like screenplays oh yeah, never like, just like I'm sure to never see the light of day.

00:17:40.534 --> 00:17:42.020
Yeah, it'd be the same with books too.

00:17:42.020 --> 00:17:46.576
And I mean, what, uh, I could?

00:17:46.576 --> 00:17:51.630
I can't even imagine like being able, like I don't think I could write one book I could?

00:17:51.710 --> 00:17:56.749
I know I'm trying to write a book right now yeah, I think you should, I think you could, but I don't think I could.

00:17:56.749 --> 00:18:01.067
I I've got two, I speak in two, I think I think you could.

00:18:01.086 --> 00:18:01.989
I could write three sentences.

00:18:01.989 --> 00:18:09.900
You know, marcus latrell came out with Operation Red Wing and then the other guy who helped him write the book, because Marcus Luttrell can't write.

00:18:10.583 --> 00:18:11.226
Ghost Rider or whatever.

00:18:13.115 --> 00:18:24.240
I mean, yeah, it's like not hidden Ghost Rider, but it's literally, it's like it's called, like the memoir of Marcus Luttrell Written by so and so you know what I mean.

00:18:24.180 --> 00:18:36.351
It's clearly like the memoir of Marcus Luttrell written by so-and-so you know what I mean and like it's clearly Marcus's memoir, but it's very clearly also like written by this dude who's like writing down it what Marcus said, right?

00:18:36.351 --> 00:18:57.846
So I'm trying to find the book real quick, sorry guys, but I think that's like a very valid form of like telling a story, patrick robinson so like marcus latrell's the author right, it's his story, but patrick robinson like helped put it into words and but I and I bet some of these guys at comic-con's books were like I bet they weren't short.

00:18:58.348 --> 00:18:59.334
I bet there were short books too.

00:18:59.355 --> 00:19:00.840
But I bet there were, I bet there were a couple guys.

00:19:00.840 --> 00:19:09.884
I think everything looked like an average, like everything looked to be averaging, like 300 or more pages Right, Like like they've created a world.

00:19:09.884 --> 00:19:12.363
Yeah, If they're on book 30, you know like it's a whole.

00:19:12.403 --> 00:19:13.929
Thing man.

00:19:14.861 --> 00:19:16.664
There's one guy was selling his books.

00:19:16.664 --> 00:19:21.467
Oh, dude, I don't want to say cause I don't want people to like, harass him.

00:19:21.467 --> 00:19:25.601
Here's the thing people to like, harass them.

00:19:25.601 --> 00:19:26.143
Here's the thing I.

00:19:26.143 --> 00:19:26.824
I will never condone harassment.

00:19:26.824 --> 00:19:27.707
I will never condone brigading.

00:19:27.707 --> 00:19:35.426
I'll never condone like bullying online or you know stuff like that of like, oh yeah, let's go make fun of this dude and like his bad books.

00:19:36.048 --> 00:19:37.030
Now, like it's different.

00:19:37.030 --> 00:19:43.542
If someone's like a pedophile, then I'm like, yeah, let's go like freaking, tear them out of their house and charge them for their crimes.

00:19:43.542 --> 00:19:44.506
You know what I mean.

00:19:44.506 --> 00:19:48.740
But like some people just got nothing better than it would then be like dickheads on the internet.

00:19:48.740 --> 00:20:03.345
But I'm not gonna say the book series, yeah, but he was very enthusiastic about it and he was explaining to me the premise of it and it was like to me and like five other people who were standing around, because he had like snagged our attention by being really loud.

00:20:03.345 --> 00:20:12.663
Oh yeah, um, and it wasn't like a, it wasn't like come on, come on, it was just like hey, we were like, oh, what the fuck?

00:20:12.663 --> 00:20:16.932
And like he's like do you like science?

00:20:16.932 --> 00:20:21.324
And I was just like I was too bewildered, I couldn't do, I was a deer to the headlights, bro, bro.

00:20:21.324 --> 00:20:34.229
I was like what he was like just explaining how this book follows real life scientists, but in a universe where each of them received powers regarding to the scientific laws and theories that they helped pen.

00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:38.791
It's like Newton just like can't stand up because there's so much gravity.

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:41.268
I just was looking at the artwork he was explaining it.

00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:42.665
I was like sick bro.

00:20:42.665 --> 00:20:54.646
I don't know how many people want to read about like nuclear Albert Einstein yeah, like just Albert Einstein, but he's Superman, but I mean, I don't know.

00:20:54.646 --> 00:21:02.196
All that said, I am very enthusiastic for those people because they're clearly passionate about what they're writing about and I hope they make it and break it.

00:21:02.196 --> 00:21:13.363
Because they're clearly passionate about what they're writing about and I hope they make it and break it, you know.

00:21:13.363 --> 00:21:15.932
At the same time, though, you just see so many other people who are just trying to scam stuff.

00:21:15.932 --> 00:21:23.559
That pissed me off quite a bit, because I used to do a side hustle of printing and painting stuff.

00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:32.086
We sold a ton of coronavirus models that we 3D printed and hand painted.

00:21:32.086 --> 00:21:32.507
Oh yeah, we sold them.

00:21:32.507 --> 00:21:33.190
Like we painted them really well.

00:21:33.190 --> 00:21:34.093
The the uh printing quality was really high.

00:21:34.093 --> 00:21:34.855
We sold them to museums during covid.

00:21:34.855 --> 00:21:35.278
We sold them to bars.

00:21:35.298 --> 00:21:39.409
Yeah, there's like some museum in the uk that is like displaying the models we printed and painted.

00:21:39.409 --> 00:21:40.050
That's pretty cool.

00:21:40.050 --> 00:21:41.060
Yeah, it is pretty sick.

00:21:41.060 --> 00:21:51.334
But like we charged for like hours of our time and material costs and we still were like under charging, like when we were doing certain prices.

00:21:51.334 --> 00:22:19.696
And I see guys out here who, like I, could see the like print supports still attached to the model on some places and I could tell it's just gonna be like a fragile piece of crap like from an fdm printer and they're like 3d printing it and like cool colors that change and like for 15 you can have this dragon for your table and I'm like just looking in my head, I'm like dude, that costs like 25 cents in filament to print.

00:22:19.696 --> 00:22:34.051
Yeah, sure, the printer is printing for like I don't three hours, but that's not like your work time and, to be fair, also, a lot of other people seem to be catching on to it and not buying it either.

00:22:34.051 --> 00:22:34.613
You know what I mean.

00:22:35.381 --> 00:22:36.906
There's a ton of product sitting around.

00:22:36.906 --> 00:23:00.721
But those are kind of the two things you saw at the booths or like the pricing stuff People very passionate about something that was very original and was very cool, even if not a lot of people were into it, and then just people who were there trying to make a quick buck and trying to pull the wool over people's eyes with stuff they were printing yeah, because lots of those the cheap 3d printer stuff is like really good for prototyping you know like it's great, you know like that.

00:23:00.741 --> 00:23:15.015
But like, but not for me, it's necessarily final products and I think it's great for, like I mean, we use the fdm printer when we're playing dungeons and the dragons we've printed out like terrain, oh yeah, like when you're printing out a mountain or trees or buildings.

00:23:15.015 --> 00:23:30.469
Like you don't need super high detail and, honestly, like the roughness of a fdm print looks cool when you like paint it up and you just put it on the table, you immediately like, oh, that's a rock, that's a tree, that's a dragon skull, you know.

00:23:31.925 --> 00:23:40.664
But like, we also just know, like behind the veil, that costs like pennies to print you know what I mean in materials and stuff.

00:23:40.664 --> 00:24:00.131
And so it's just not worth the cost for a lot of stuff that, like, people charge out there because they are charging it to people who don't know, and people are like, oh, I don't have a 3d printer so I'll never be able to buy this or get this because, like, it relies on people printing it and it's like, dude, just go to etsy, you can find the stuff like made in bulk.

00:24:00.131 --> 00:24:03.163
You know you could get 10 for 10 bucks, right?

00:24:03.163 --> 00:24:06.171
So, anyways, uh, that was cool.

00:24:06.171 --> 00:24:06.792
It was cool.

00:24:06.811 --> 00:24:10.571
They had a ton of classes that I thought were interesting.

00:24:10.571 --> 00:24:13.079
A lot of classes about how to make your own costume.

00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:19.313
A lot of classes about world building, writing books, writing movies, like plays and stuff.

00:24:19.313 --> 00:24:24.153
Um, screenplays, um, how to be a better game master.

00:24:24.153 --> 00:24:28.205
How did it do the one I really missed that I wanted to go to because I had no idea this was going on.

00:24:28.205 --> 00:24:30.642
I just walked in because I heard about it, so I'll sign.

00:24:30.642 --> 00:24:35.070
Um, there was one on how to make your like how this?

00:24:35.070 --> 00:24:41.287
It was like a class that said how I made my own two million dollar board game and sold it.

00:24:41.287 --> 00:24:44.832
Huh, I was like I would 100% sit in it.

00:24:44.832 --> 00:24:45.973
Like I love board games.

00:24:45.973 --> 00:24:56.688
I love game night, whether it's dnd or just like a phase 10, like I love games and like I would have loved to listen to someone who made a successful game and sold it as a property.

00:24:56.708 --> 00:25:02.739
You know and some of those games, man, if they catch on, even for like one christmas season, yeah, that would be a lot of it.

00:25:02.778 --> 00:25:14.286
I feel like you know I would assume a lot of it's kickstarter too right, like it raised three million dollars on kickstarter, uh, after operation costs and all that, like I kept you know one mil of that.

00:25:14.286 --> 00:25:20.265
Like don't damn do it again, you know, I mean yep, um, so it was cool.

00:25:20.265 --> 00:25:22.208
It was cool, it was a little stinky.

00:25:22.208 --> 00:25:40.114
There were some people who were like you know, there there are definitely some people who you were like you felt bad for, but you're like good for you for at least getting up and coming out, um, but man, dude, oh, dude, oh, my gosh, there was so many.

00:25:40.114 --> 00:25:41.142
It was just like it was.

00:25:41.142 --> 00:25:42.326
The stereotypes are real.

00:25:42.326 --> 00:25:44.290
Like I can't even express like it's, like it's.

00:25:44.290 --> 00:25:49.801
I feel like they know it too, like there's no way they would deny that or even find it offensive.

00:25:49.801 --> 00:25:55.923
If you were like if I drew a picture of someone that I saw there, I cannot imagine anyone being offended.

00:25:55.923 --> 00:25:56.586
You know what I mean.

00:25:56.646 --> 00:26:08.167
They'd be like yeah, no, that's that, that guy, that person is literally at every comic-con like in an incarnation of one kind or another and like it's the same thing that you're imagining in your head right now as you're listening to this.

00:26:08.167 --> 00:26:10.763
Oh yeah, that's who's at comic con.

00:26:10.763 --> 00:26:11.886
Um, it was cool.

00:26:11.886 --> 00:26:15.082
Everyone's got their thing in their outlet and it's a safe, harmless one.

00:26:15.082 --> 00:26:37.951
So I think and I think it was pretty sick I would go to a bigger one because I think there'd be more stuff for sale and I think there'd probably be even more like cool celebrities from things that I'd recognize like if you got to see shatner be pretty cool dude you know, my dream would be to see uh bruce campbell, who was like uh, the guy in evil dead and stuff and he's just like.

00:26:37.971 --> 00:26:42.005
he was like the classic, like horror movie b-lister guy for a long time.

00:26:42.005 --> 00:26:47.231
I think he's really funny too, but anyways, it's pretty tight.

00:26:47.231 --> 00:26:47.873
Would you ever go?

00:26:47.873 --> 00:26:52.948
Would you go to a Comic Con now, pat, after I braved?

00:26:52.968 --> 00:26:53.353
the expanses.

00:26:53.353 --> 00:27:12.305
I would, I would go and I think I would have to dress up Because I like here's the thing too bro, if you don't go full out, I feel like I would go full out and I'd show up and feel very under costumed yeah, my thing is like here's what I think is interesting, right, is that like I've never been a big like dress up guy.

00:27:13.026 --> 00:27:18.563
Like don't get me wrong, I love halloween and especially now, as I'm older, like I love doing stuff for halloween more.

00:27:18.563 --> 00:27:34.273
But like I'm really into like Dungeons and Dragons and like just kind of that aesthetic like doing, whether it's painting minis or you know, uh, designing maps or terrain or making custom music for a game.

00:27:34.273 --> 00:27:35.623
So I'm really into that.

00:27:35.623 --> 00:27:42.067
But I'm just not that into the idea of like dressing up for comic con or, like you know, dressing up as like a character from a book or something.

00:27:42.067 --> 00:27:51.586
And, bro, like I feel like you have like you've never played Dungeons and Dragons or done anything like that and I've never been like you don't have like a huge passion for that.

00:27:51.586 --> 00:28:05.012
But I think if someone was like I'll cover the cost, you know, you just need to go as legalist comic-con for eight hours I think you'd be like immediately down yes, like I do in a heartbeat, you know it is.

00:28:05.252 --> 00:28:09.800
I like to, I like to you're an exhibitionist.

00:28:10.040 --> 00:28:11.984
Yeah, I like to be.

00:28:12.005 --> 00:28:16.826
The look at my body something and like show up with like the best, coolest costume.

00:28:16.826 --> 00:28:26.750
Like you know, like when we do, uh, this super small example, but like like we have a small town Fourth of July parade every you know our family will enter every couple of years down in Texas.

00:28:26.750 --> 00:28:29.098
And like I like to win that thing.

00:28:29.098 --> 00:28:31.218
You know, like I like my float to be awesome.

00:28:31.631 --> 00:28:32.413
The stuff I'm wearing.

00:28:32.413 --> 00:28:36.800
I want it to be cool, like you know, like whatever it is like, it's just like it's awesome.

00:28:36.800 --> 00:28:40.275
I got to be Batman once and one time.

00:28:40.275 --> 00:28:42.258
I don't know if I've told this story on here before.

00:28:42.258 --> 00:28:45.963
It's like one time we all dressed up as Batman characters.

00:28:45.963 --> 00:28:54.458
I got to be Batman and we were going through the parade and this town has, like a traditional old square in it.

00:28:54.458 --> 00:28:55.180
Oh, yes.

00:28:55.569 --> 00:28:59.922
And so the parade basically comes in from out of the square.

00:28:59.922 --> 00:29:03.232
You come in and you do a U and leave, and as you're coming, there's lots of people.

00:29:03.232 --> 00:29:17.176
Once you get in the square, that's where there's thousands and thousands of people packed in there and I was um the everybody's walking and we had a van that was uh, my grandpa just found this van.

00:29:17.176 --> 00:29:24.150
It was a good deal with low miles, but it was black with the the gold batman logos on it it was the bat van dude.

00:29:24.711 --> 00:29:38.063
So we, um, uh, as we're walking in, we're getting close to the square, I, uh, and actually I almost bought the 400 like christian bale full suit for this.

00:29:38.063 --> 00:29:39.587
Yeah, I pulled, I, I didn't.

00:29:39.587 --> 00:29:41.412
I got the cheaper, the cheaper version.

00:29:41.412 --> 00:29:51.279
Yeah, but uh, this kid there was, was this kid of special needs over in the corner and he, like you, could tell that he thought I was real.

00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.343
He was like oh, that's Batman.

00:29:52.343 --> 00:29:59.359
I went over there and I was giving him five, giving him a hug, taking some pictures, and I mean, this kid was so stoked to be with Batman.

00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:05.414
That was an incredible feeling to be with batman, yeah, it was, that was an incredible feeling.

00:30:05.434 --> 00:30:22.019
And then what happened next was I'd been with him so long, like the, the van, and the group of people all dressed as batman characters and villains had moved into the square, the main area, and we didn't plan this, but they had moved into there and obviously everybody's like, well, where's, where's batman?

00:30:22.019 --> 00:30:22.820
You know right.

00:30:22.820 --> 00:30:25.064
And so I came running down.

00:30:25.064 --> 00:30:37.279
I had like a good like 50 yard run to catch up and I'm running in full speed and I just, and I, as I'm running, I hear people start cheering like oh and and like a big enough crowd.

00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:40.313
It is like they're like oh yeah.

00:30:40.313 --> 00:30:50.737
And then I just just vaulted off of the bumper of the van onto the roof holding my cape and landed and the place erupted full.

00:30:50.737 --> 00:30:55.082
Just freaking out, dude, and I was like it gets you high.

00:30:55.082 --> 00:30:55.885
Yeah, I bet it does.

00:30:55.885 --> 00:30:58.195
It gets you a little bit high, I bet you feel like a tear shed.

00:30:58.557 --> 00:31:00.296
Oh yeah, it was great.

00:31:00.296 --> 00:31:02.278
This is the pinnacle of my life.

00:31:02.278 --> 00:31:04.037
It may have been.

00:31:04.491 --> 00:31:05.655
Because here's what's even better, bro.

00:31:05.655 --> 00:31:07.041
I was like it's what?

00:31:07.041 --> 00:31:23.569
Is it better to be batman on screen, where everyone is told to cheer for you and it's part of the movie and it makes everyone watch and go and all or to be batman, yeah, to a crowd of people and it's genuine applause oh yeah you know what I mean uh I think I've had like similar experiences like that too.

00:31:23.611 --> 00:31:41.150
You know, like I don't know necessarily to that extent of like that kind of like total hype, but like I know, I think I told you I think I've talked about the gorilla story on here, right, I don't know if you'd have the high schoolers when I was a camp counselor brought up a gorilla costume I told you this?

00:31:41.125 --> 00:31:41.858
no, really no, I don't think so.

00:31:41.858 --> 00:31:42.208
Oh, dude, it was awesome, all right.

00:31:42.208 --> 00:31:43.140
So I was a camp counselor, brought up a gorilla costume.

00:31:43.140 --> 00:31:43.458
Have I told you this?

00:31:43.458 --> 00:31:43.986
No, really no, I don't think so.

00:31:43.986 --> 00:31:44.494
Oh, dude, it was awesome, all right.

00:31:44.494 --> 00:32:04.711
So I was a camp counselor one summer and I'll say you know, this is costume story, insert here because I still want to show you the AI music I'm not trying to distract, and this isn't nearly as cool as like having a crowd of people applause for me but only claimed a fame of like one night.

00:32:04.731 --> 00:32:05.292
I was like one night.

00:32:05.292 --> 00:32:06.596
I'll put it on and that we'll see what happens.

00:32:06.596 --> 00:32:07.478
Um, these high schoolers uh, came up.

00:32:07.478 --> 00:32:18.364
It was the last week of this summer camp I was a counselor at in college and, um, it was down in colorado springs and these campers come up in.

00:32:18.364 --> 00:32:29.183
Uh, they all of them except for one had been to this camp for like every single summer in a row, and they were all seniors now or going into their senior year.

00:32:29.183 --> 00:32:31.351
So this was going to be their last year of camp.

00:32:31.351 --> 00:32:35.993
Before you know they had, because after you graduate high school, you don't go to camp again, you go off to college.

00:32:37.076 --> 00:32:44.534
And so they were like, yeah, man, can we please like, go out with like a huge show, like, and like they they clearly knew camp better than I did.

00:32:44.534 --> 00:32:45.837
They're like oh, do you know?

00:32:45.837 --> 00:32:46.219
So-and-so?

00:32:46.219 --> 00:32:47.570
He was our concert last year, do you know?

00:32:47.570 --> 00:32:47.811
So-and-so?

00:32:47.811 --> 00:32:48.994
He was our concert the year before that.

00:32:48.994 --> 00:32:51.432
I was like, guys, guys, guys, this is my one summer here.

00:32:51.432 --> 00:32:53.516
Like I don't know anybody.

00:32:53.516 --> 00:32:57.813
But they were so enthusiastic, man, that it just, it just swept me up in it.

00:32:57.813 --> 00:33:01.942
They're like, hey, yeah, can we show you Like we don't want to get in trouble, but can we show you this?

00:33:01.942 --> 00:33:03.688
I'm like, oh God, they have a gun.

00:33:03.807 --> 00:33:08.557
You know something like that, Like the unzipped backpack and I'm just like what is that?

00:33:08.557 --> 00:33:18.752
And I just see the black fur, the rubber gorilla mask and they pull out like hey, we got this gorilla suit and it looks really good, Like it had to be.

00:33:18.972 --> 00:33:25.396
It had like some chest padding, some shoulder padding, and it was like a single suit with a zipper on the back.

00:33:25.396 --> 00:33:31.161
But when you zipped it up you didn't see the zipper at all and it wasn't like separate head parts.

00:33:31.161 --> 00:33:41.767
The only thing that was like separate was the gloves, because you put your hands through and then you pull the gloves over and it kind of like constricts onto your wrist.

00:33:41.767 --> 00:33:46.654
But I was like look guys, look guys, yeah, you can wear this.

00:33:46.654 --> 00:33:48.178
And then I just stopped for a minute.

00:33:48.178 --> 00:33:49.040
I was like thinking my head.

00:33:49.040 --> 00:33:56.711
I was like, or, or we can get the whole boys camp with it and scare them to god and back they're like they're like what?

00:33:56.751 --> 00:34:02.726
and I was like hear me out, what if we just start telling people that a gorilla escaped from the cheyenne mountain zoo?

00:34:02.726 --> 00:34:09.733
For anyone who gorilla escaped from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, for anyone who doesn't know, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is in Colorado Springs on Cheyenne Mountain and there are gorillas.

00:34:09.733 --> 00:34:19.041
And I was like we could totally sell it because I'll go to the staff here, because the staff always does announcements of like hey, counselors, be on the lookout for this.

00:34:19.230 --> 00:34:32.208
You know, and like we have had it very commonly, you know it'd be week on, week off yeah bears, yeah bears are like monks, hey, counselors, remember, no going out at night because of the mountain lion that's been seen around, and it wasn't like that was not a bit.

00:34:32.208 --> 00:34:36.318
That was literally like hey, like seriously, there's animals around, be careful.

00:34:36.318 --> 00:34:42.418
Um, and I was like I'll get this chick who does the announcements all the time.

00:34:42.418 --> 00:34:43.501
She's like a staff person.

00:34:43.501 --> 00:34:54.456
I was like I'll get her in on it and she'll give us the sign off and I'll get permission from all the staff people for us to be out super late so we can prank everybody.

00:34:54.456 --> 00:35:08.367
My buddy, who I ended up baptizing that summer, he had a cabin full of the most inner city gang violent kids from Denver.

00:35:08.367 --> 00:35:17.177
They were all kids who were like yeah, I'm into Norteños, we'll fucking give you stitches homes if you mess with us.

00:35:17.177 --> 00:35:18.239
Don't tell us what to do.

00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:22.545
He's like you guys want to go jump off the dock onto the blob and they're like no.

00:35:28.809 --> 00:35:30.760
They were all too too cool, yeah, but none of them were like remotely prepared for the outdoors.

00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:32.608
Oh, you know, I mean like they were all there and like I think it was.

00:35:32.608 --> 00:35:34.855
You know, the more they opened up, the more we got to know them.

00:35:34.855 --> 00:35:42.697
There was just like yeah, I don't have like boots you know, I mean like I don't have shorts, I'm just in jeans and sweaty the whole time.

00:35:42.717 --> 00:35:57.557
So, but like he was having such a rough time because he's also just like a nebraska good old boy, so he's like we don't relate on anything like it's uh, I remember they were just giving him such a hard time and he was struggling with them because they were too cool.

00:35:57.557 --> 00:36:12.880
Um and uh, as we were kind of hyping up, like at like the first lunch that day, they made an announcement like hey, we do have to say this, but like there is a PSA from the Cheyenne mountain zoo that a gorilla has escaped and we need to be like, actually serious about this.

00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:19.429
Guys, it's a security risk, and none of the counselors have any phones with access to wifi or like cell phone.

00:36:19.429 --> 00:36:20.775
So all the counselors are like what?

00:36:20.775 --> 00:36:40.092
And I'm like's just me, and like two other Counselor guys that I told about it that are Like in on it and then like the staff, and so everyone's like that's crazy and Like there's legit, like other girl Counselors and dude counselors who are like no, no, we can't, we can't go do like night games In the woods, there's a gorilla, yeah, yeah.

00:36:40.213 --> 00:36:45.043
And like everyone had to to start passing around to the counselors because I didn't want the campers to miss out, right.

00:36:45.043 --> 00:36:48.074
So I had to start going to the counselors Like only the counselors.

00:36:48.074 --> 00:36:49.139
I trusted not to spoil it.

00:36:49.139 --> 00:37:07.215
It's like it's a bit, there is no gorilla, but it's just to hype up the campers for something going on this week and they're like, okay, and to the props that summer it was the last week, so everyone was kind of down to play along.

00:37:07.215 --> 00:37:19.005
Um, and anyways, the couple nights like uh, the, it was like first night, second night and third night, I would just go out at like 2 am or 3 am and just have an alarm and I would just like be out in the woods.

00:37:19.005 --> 00:37:20.875
Um, what is that?

00:37:21.114 --> 00:37:32.492
uh, in rampart range, right and I just crawl and just go and just like let it echo across, bro, and like the next day it was the best because I was told by campers.

00:37:32.492 --> 00:37:33.876
I was like you guys gotta play it cool.

00:37:33.876 --> 00:37:40.061
Like no matter what no one says, you cannot laugh, because there will be high schoolers that come up to you and say stuff it's sure enough, bro.

00:37:40.061 --> 00:37:48.331
I remember we were like hanging out as like a cabin and these other boys were like you guys hear the gorilla last night, like they were just like I could see.

00:37:48.331 --> 00:37:53.547
Some of them were like about to break, like no, bro, what are you talking about?

00:37:53.547 --> 00:37:57.318
I was like boys holding together and like kids were getting scared.

00:37:57.318 --> 00:38:01.454
It was awesome to like see these high schoolers like yeah, but like did you hear that gorilla?

00:38:01.795 --> 00:38:04.398
like they were somewhere like no, that was just people playing around.

00:38:04.398 --> 00:38:16.114
So it was like thursday night, bro, or wednesday night, I can't remember, it was like the fourth night and I put on the gorilla suit and I told the staff was like please don't shoot me with a shotgun.

00:38:16.114 --> 00:38:19.112
I'm not a bear because they've shot bears up there, you know what I mean.

00:38:19.112 --> 00:38:38.836
And uh, I put on the gorilla suit and the mask and I start just going around like on my knuckles and like squat haunches and I'm just like first just going around the perimeter, the boys camp and snapping twigs and not being careful, and like I can hear people in their cabins because they're not quiet.

00:38:38.836 --> 00:38:39.842
They're like what's that outside?

00:38:39.842 --> 00:38:40.949
And I can hear them.

00:38:40.949 --> 00:38:43.918
They're just like what is that?

00:38:43.918 --> 00:38:46.547
Like like I can hear counselors like go back to bed, yeah, you know.

00:38:46.547 --> 00:38:59.346
Like they're not playing along and uh, and then I start going into like the orange sodium light lamps on the dirt road just you know the intermittent ones and just like, and then like move off.

00:38:59.606 --> 00:39:04.942
And I can hear them like losing their marbles, like some campers were like, oh my god.

00:39:04.942 --> 00:39:10.362
And I go up to the cabin that my buddy was at with these Hispanic inner city kids from.

00:39:10.362 --> 00:39:17.219
Denver and they had gone swimming and I remember some of them had brought swimsuits up and all that stuff.

00:39:17.219 --> 00:39:22.677
So they had their swimsuits out on the deck of the cabin drying off and I just started picking them up.

00:39:22.677 --> 00:39:22.818
Monkey.

00:39:22.818 --> 00:39:29.101
And I just started like picking them up, monkey, throwing them, yeah, like picking up, but like like just tossing them off and like.

00:39:29.202 --> 00:39:36.313
I'm like just letting them slap on the window or the screen door and that's the thing to the cabin, it's just a screen door there is no, like real barrier door.

00:39:36.313 --> 00:39:46.478
And I can hear him like this might sound like stereotype or, but like I, seriously I heard him like it owns, it owns.

00:39:46.478 --> 00:39:53.875
And let's just say that my buddy's name his name was john, like he almost john what is?

00:39:53.996 --> 00:39:54.697
on the porch.

00:39:54.697 --> 00:39:58.282
I can just remember hearing him inside.

00:39:58.282 --> 00:39:59.224
