You're joining us again back from his vacation, all rested. He's got the fresh hair gel. He's rocking and rolling. Mikey B hanging out with us. Dude, welcome.

Well, I should say it's great. good to be back. Yeah. I'm back in the saddle. I missed you guys. I really did. I could tell by the zillions of messages we got the entire time you're on. You know, you have a lot of downtime on vacation.

This is the first time I've ever had a job that I've missed. So that's a huge compliment to you. I mean, I hope. I love it here, obviously. And yeah, it was also my first paid vacation, thank you, in my entire life. Seriously? Yes. I've always bartended or worked jobs that didn't offer it.

And I said it many times on vacation. I said, this is so exciting. I'm, you know, I'm in my 40s and I'm finally getting paid on a vacation. It was great. So thank you for that. Dude, I'm not going to lie. The first time that that occurred for me, it is the most magical feeling. It's unbelievable.

It's like, wait a minute. I am just going to screw around all day long, and I'm still going to get a paycheck. So hold on. I'm going to drag this beach cart to the beach, plop it down, pop open some cocktails or whatever, and Matt's paying me. There's a little bit of guilt that comes with that, but this is also because I came from never having it, so I appreciate it a little more.

I'm sure there's people that join the workforce, and hopefully they get these paid vacations right out of the gate, and I'm sure they appreciate it, but man, thank you. Feels good. Honestly say that. It was awesome. So we had a lot of fun at the fair. Yes.

With you, and we went and had some fun without you. I'm sorry. Listen. I got it before. I say anything else, I got a shout out to our fucking absolute spectacular photographer, Amanda. Yes. Who went and shot a lot of extra. We didn't require this.

She's like, I'm going to go get us some more content and went to a number of the concerts. We, of course, got some media credentials. Big thank you to the fair for that. But that allowed her to get right up in front of the crowd, actually, on the stage for Pauly D and 98 degrees. and a bunch of the other acts. We got some absolutely stellar photographs. Danny's got him there on the shot. From my perspective, first of all,

I didn't know this was happening. Like, I didn't know she had applied for press credentials or anything. So you had sent the link, and I'm like, who took these? And they have our watermark. Yeah. And I'm like, I mean, it looks like she's on the stage with them. Yeah. And by the way, I got to admit something.

I kind of laughed when I found out Pauly, Pauly D from the Jersey Shore was like on the, you know, on the bill. Yeah. And shame on me. That place was packed. I think I've never seen anybody a crowd more amped up to see someone at the fairer than that. It was. Here's the thing.

Polly D. is probably the most legitimate Jersey Shore member in that he had that career as a DJ before he started the show that obviously propelled him. But he's still been working as a DJ. Yeah. You know, he had a residency in Vegas for a while. He might even still. Dude is a legitimate.

That was. Working DJ. That was kind of. thing back during the MTV reality days, all the real, the early on, the real worlds, there was, there was always like one musician or comedian. And they would, not all of them, but some it would propel their career. Yeah. Like Theo Vaughn, actually, I found out was on road rules. Get out of here. No, that's where he's, exactly. That was my reaction. Uh, he, and Kyle Brandt, who's like my favorite NFL analyst on Good Morning Football started on the real world Chicago. So

there are some success stories and I guess we could say Paul E. is. Wow. What about the situation dude? What's he doing besides flexing his... Well, he was in prison for a while. Oh, he's out. Okay. Tax evasion. Well, I mean, did we ever really watch those shows, you know, like Jersey

Shore and jackass and things? I mean, I did. These are real well put together people. I think they're going to be fine once they... People might not realize this. There are... I don't know about still, but very recently. Like, within the last couple of years, there's new season of Jersey Shore.

There's Jersey Shore family vacation where they're all adults and family. They don't show the families. They still get together and get stupid. And I kind of appreciate that because, you know, I am that old and as slowly as they do now on the show.

It's nice to see it, right? Because you're like, oh, I'm not the only one getting old. It's like when I went to the Metallica show and I was having a panic attack thinking, oh, my God, I'm going to on the floor, I'm going to get moshed to death. And then I realized everyone around me was the same age and had no desire to do that. Here's the thing.

Sometimes I hate that stuff, though, like there's this trend, these videos I've been seeing online where they take, you know, like an 80s or a 90s movie cast and they show each person and then they morph into them today. Oh. You know, I don't know if you've seen these things. It's the most depressing shit on the planet. It really is. Even the ones you go, oh, yeah, they're looking good. They don't look as good as they did. Like, I want to remember that person then.

You know what I'm saying? There's always one that's on meth. Like they did it for the mighty ducks, and Goldberg is like an ex, I don't even know if he's alive. He's an extreme meth head. He looks terrible. And then Sanlott, they did that thing. And the Smalls ended up getting arrested for throwing a brick through his neighbors. I mean, it's very depressing.

Here's the thing. Like, I'm a fan of the movie and the character. I don't even want to connect them to a different person. So, you know what I mean? Like, I don't want to see. Exactly. I agree. It's timeless.

It is timeless, and I'd like to always look at them in that light. Fun fact, I played, this was my name in the script, a, quote, Jersey Shore douche in an S&L skit in 2010 when Bobby Moynihan played Snookie. Bobby Moynihan was in the middle. It was a fake MTV promo, and part of the promo was showing all of the shows, like 16 and pregnant. Okay. And then it said Jersey Shore, and Bobby Moineshan. Moynihan's, you know, orange, and we're next to me and one other, and like two or three other guys are just Jersey Shore douche. So that's my biggest credit to date.

So I guess I kind of owe it to the Jersey Shore for that. It's all thanks to Polly D. Thanks, Polly. And thanks Amanda for the great pictures. They are, like I said, phenomenal. Check us out. Good News York, Facebook, all the socials. You will see a lot of these photos.

She got the 98 degrees, like, logo. So phenomenal. I just, I don't know. It's really cool. So one of the things that we did while you were gone is we checked out a bunch of these different spots around the fair that I felt hadn't gotten enough love from all the various content creators, ourselves included, right? Because there's all the hot viral stuff. It's like, let's see what people aren't really talking about. I keep walking by this tent.

And they had this tent outside of the expo center, white walled, you know, typical party tent. like very little signage. And it didn't seem to hurt them because it was busy. But I was like, I got to see what's going on in this tent. It was bulk handy. So we will show the footage. But a bit. Imagine this like maze of aisles and aisles that you had to walk through of bulk

candy that give you this big basket to start with and you fill it and then you weigh it. and I had to get some, you know, cool, unique things. We've already tapped into. So this bag is considerably depleted from what it was. But guess how much we ended up with, buddy? Trying to be conservative. How much weight-wise? How much do you think that I checked out with?

Jesus, I don't even know how to... We'll say that's half of it. This is half of it? Yeah. I'm going to say... eight pounds. Jesus Christ, no. It was two and a half.

Oh, see, I don't, I don't, I don't even know how to translate pounds to candy pound, like the, I don't, I don't, Mike had a newborn. It was 87 pounds. Yes, my son was 87 pounds, 14 ounces. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful turkey. My wife just never walked the same again.

My wife walks like she just wrote a horse. Yeah, wow, I guess that's still impressive. No, it was huge. So here's the thing, my guess, I think, was like, like a pound and a half and I was off by a full pound. I was off by like, but they had all the cool different vintage things. We got some taffy in there.

We got some, uh, all kinds of things. And Danny, so I see you noticed the cowtales. That was Danny's, uh, pick.

They had, I love cow tails. It's something my mom, uh, has gotten me into since I was a little kid. She loves them. Um, but I've only ever seen like two flavors,

like the regular and sometimes you'll find a chocolate one. Yeah, this one caught my eyes. These guys, they had like five or six different types that I'd never seen before. Caramel apple cowtown. Yeah. That's what, so what caught my eye was I thought, oh man, they rebrand. It's a gentle cruising.

Daffine, same as a cup of coffee.

I like these before. So try what, the root beer barrel? The caramel apple? Oh, here we go. So while you're doing that, there used to be a hidden stash of root beer barrels in our candy printer. Smell. Yes, I did not know that This is exclusively for me

This brings me back Let's see if you know this one Here's a little New York reference Good News York sponsored by Get Ads on the Go Get Ads on the Go.com Carnie's Corner in Herkimer Of course I used to go down there with my buddies

And we'd have a couple bucks from our parents Get a sub There was always cowtails But I would always get Bubble tape and Big League chew Oh yeah yeah big league You love that shrew It's just bubble gum

in a bag so you could pretend you were eating tobacco. Yeah, by the way, I didn't know that that was supposed to be tobacco until I tried tobacco in high school. I was doing Red Man with my buddies, and I went, hey, this looks like Big League and it all kind of came together. Side note, uh... I love Mike's little light bulb moments. Thank you, buddy.

I put about two to three feet of the gum in my mouth at all times for the bubble tape. It's the only way to do it. Thank you. Thank you. And you don't, you just... The best part of the bubble tape is when, The roll got small enough to where you could just take the roll and eat it? Eat it like a giant chunk of gum, yeah.

You did it right. All right, here we go. So this is a caramel apple cowtail. It's like Plato. Really good Plato. I mean, Plato is good, actually. I don't hate it. But I think it's because I know what to expect.

Like, if I was eating this for the first time. Does it taste anything like a traditional cowtail? Not at all. Okay. Like, it tastes like, doesn't, you know, look like. like it. Doesn't even have the traditional like cream in the middle there. The texture is the same as a regular cowtale. But it's kind of its own thing.

All right. There's a little cowtail underneath. Fair enough. But it's mostly apple. It's better than the camel we had. Jesus. You should hear the conversations I've been having about that. Yeah?

People are like, dude, you ate camel? I'm like, I think so. I think we did. I mean, that's what they tell us. I think you and I are on to us. I was just spoiled chicken. I love when Amanda was like, well, don't worry about the gator. It's just like fishy chicken.

Like, that's supposed to make me want to eat it more. I'm going to be honest, gator, to me, is the most normal, exotic meat out of all those ones that they had there. I thought elk was. I mean, yeah, once in a while, you get. But you're right. You would see gator on a menu. You can go to Florida, and there's a large number of restaurants that will have gator nuggets or some kind of. I went to visit my mom.

uncle in the Tampa area and uh Steve Miller banning cigarettes down there I'll tell you that but uh it was uh gator bites yeah okay they couldn't they're good but for you buddy a child right down and it look it could be all beef that's just spiced differently a lot of people were like is that legal I'm like I don't know of course it's legal I mean do you can you can you isn't it poaching if you kill a camel I don't know no you there's camel farm How hard is it to hunt a camel? You don't have to hunt it, you farm it. It's like, you don't hunt cows.

I wonder what, just take it out back, you know? They store all that water. Next thing you know, there's steak. Magic. We don't ask questions. No. We just enjoy. But we had fun.

We had fun. You don't enjoy sometimes. Did you and Danny win any more crane? That's a great question. We did not. But I went last night with my, I closed out the fair. Like I was literally there as the thing was ending. and tell them how you closed it out.

A double fisting wine slushies. I had to end the way I began. But on the claw game thing, my kids love the claw game, so we had to play that. I looked all over, so I won that Garfield. I don't know if we even took a picture of that, but I won the coolest looking stuffed Garfield where, like, he's made out of the cartoon. Like, it's hard to describe it. Awesome.

Okay. There was an Odie, you know, the dog that goes when we were there. And I'm like, I don't need to. spend another $30 to try to win the Odie. I wish I had. I went back, looked all over there, there was no more Odie. I wish I had had the side.

But anyway, so we played and my daughters both cleaned out the fucking claw machine. It was a good time. We played a couple other games and won some prizes, which was great. And yeah, it was a good time.

That's fantastic. You guys, I mean, it started as an interesting. I got another lobster roll. You did? Before, yeah, I had. Did you get a clear answer on is lobster roll a sandwich? I mean, I feel like the general consensus from what I saw was. The general kids, I don't know what you're talking about because the majority of the people seem to agree with me that it is not.

Really? And the one person likened it more to the family of a taco. So I don't know that I necessarily agree with. But a lot of people said it's not a sandwich. Yeah, which is not a sandwich. Sandwich is two pieces of bread. True. Like a cheese steak is not a sandwich.

Right. Hot dogs on a sandwich. Right. Yeah, I'm with that. See? I don't know. All I know is is damn good. And I did have to take out a second mortgage to pay for all the...

You know, it's what I love. I said, you know, we have a clip of me. I love that not only that you drink wine slushies, but you own it and you don't care. I think that's phenomenal. But it reminds me, there was a... Remember kids in the hall in the 90s? Tasty and refreshing. Of course I remember kids in the hall in the night.

You know, you don't... When I saw... I see the kids in the hall live show. at the Palis, or at the landmark theater in Syracuse and then got their autographs after that's phenomenal. Yeah. Well, the kids in the hall was a sketch comedy show in the 90s, kind of like a Canadian version of S&L. And I don't, I didn't watch it all the time, but I had a close friend who always watched it.

Pitching your head. There was one. Pitching our head. There was one sketch that I'll never forget. And when I saw the video or the picture of you with the double-fisted wine slushie, it was called Girl Drink Tritching. drunk. And it was where this guy was working for a company and the CEO invited him out to dinner. And he's all nervous because he's thinking he's going to get a promotion and he wants to impress his boss.

And they get to this restaurant and his boss orders like a pinacolado with an umbrella. And he's like, come on, man, try this. And he's like, oh, I don't drink. And I don't try it. So fast forward, he ends up getting addicted. But he's only addicted to girly drinks. So he's at work and he's like, I got to get some pencils out of the utility closet. And, like, the door shuts and you just hear like a blender going and he's drinking. So the premise is that he only drinks girl drinks and girl drink drunk. And I just, that's what it reminded me of. So I thought it was funny, but it was even funnier when I put it into that.

Anytime you can mix in a kids in the hall reference, it's a positive. Well, thank you. Thank you. There is exactly four and a half people on the planet who will get it. I love that you know the name of that sketch, though. That was the only one I remember. my mind. It's the only one I remember because I just thought it was so funny. I thought it was a great premise. So listen folks, uh, we have some breaking news.

Breaking news. New York State College campuses look out. Are being ravished by an epidemic of pissers. An epitemic. See what I did there? I forgot my sound effects. I'm out of my game. When I say pissers, I don't mean like, you know, your grandpa. Oh, you got a spisher. You have a root beer barrel. There are people, I'm going to say dudes. It doesn't have to be dudes, though, I guess. But there are people who are going to different buildings on the various college campuses

and posting a video of what looks like them pissing. Now, let's be honest, or at least I'm going to go so far as to say, I don't believe that most of these are actually urinating. I think that they are using a bottle of water. I kind of hope that because I don't want some kid to get a lifelong record for a, you know, TikTok. You told me that if you get caught peeing in public, that you're on the sex offender? It's indecent exposure. That's insane.

The same thing is flashing to kids or something. On the way of vacation, I have a very, when I drink coffee, I just for the next two hours, I have to go constantly. I should probably get a checked out. So we have to keep stopping when we're on our way to vacation. My poor wife has to pull over. But what I do is a trick I learned at the Bills games where you pull the back door on the passenger side and the passenger side door

so that you're blocked on both sides and then you go. I didn't know that, I mean, I feel like that's a good method, but I don't even want to entertain that. I mean, if that's the charge you get? Like walk off the road just enough into the trees. That's how you got to do, bro. No, it's just. I will now.

You do have a blower like an infant. How do you not have... It's a gentle cruising. You start to see the village, almost like a painting. Join me, travel expert Darley Newman, and Uneworld Boutique River Cruises L'Ig-Bali to learn about river cruising in France. As we have been sailing there for decades,

Tune into the Travels with Darley podcast on Eyeheart and wherever you listen to podcasts to hear about river cruising, and Unarold's 50th anniversary summer specials. Hey, it's Trevor from the Jim Kerr Rock and Roll Morning Show.

Have you ever had an energy drink that makes you feel like your head's going to explode? Liquid Death now makes a better for you energy drink. Liquid Death sparkling energy feels like a coffee, not an electric chair. It has zero sugar and just five calories. No sucralose, no aspartane, or artificial colors and dyes. Plus, it has essential vitamins. You can find it in four delicious flavors that have clean taste. Scary strawberry.

Strawberry, with a hint of lemon. Tropical Terror, which is like a Pina Colada, Orange Horror, tasty orange with a hint of orange cream, and murder mystery, a blend of cherry cola and spices. I love a good energy drink, and when I wake up at 2.30 in the morning to get us on the air at 5 a.m.,

I need something that's going to keep me going, and now I have liquid death, sparkling energy. I can't wait to keep drinking all these amazing flavors. They have an unextream, only 100 milligrams of caffeine, same as a cup of coffee. You can buy liquid death sparkling energy drink at fine retailers like 7-11, or learn more at liquid death.com.

Heaven. Anyway. So here's the thing, though, right? So I'm scrolling through the old talk, and it's becoming hyper-local, which I kind of like, but I'm scrolling through and suddenly I see this story about a Syracuse pisser.

What the fuck is a pisser? And you sent it to us, and we're like, huh, this is funny. This is funny, right? So then, of course, as the way algorithms work, the algorithm's like, well, now it's clearly you like pissers. This guy loves it. So every video I flipped.

But here's the thing, man. Supposedly, they're saying that this originated in Binghamton. I was going to ask that. So Sunni Binghamton is the alleged start of this trend. But it has spread like wildfire across New York State campuses. We're talking Syracuse University, RIT Oswego. These are just the ones I've seen. Binghamton, Cortland, Ithaca, Albany, Herkimer.

I'm very excited. That's my hometown originally. I'm very excited for the Hercimer pisser. Well, explain, what is the context? What do they do? You flip the video. It's literally them taking a piss. It's somewhere on campus.

Right. And you just see the stream. You don't actually see anything. Yeah, yeah. I love this. I love this because it's stupid. But also, first of all, listen, it's New York based. It's all New York.

And this is what the show is about. I foresee this trend expanding beyond our state quickly. I do. I do. and here's the thing. Years ago, I had a manager for a short time when I was in the band. And I told her, I said, I think, I think honestly what we need in rock music, especially, if we want to drum up some interest in it again, is kind of the way it was in the 90s

with like the turf wars, like East Coast, West Coast, right? I was like, even in politics and in everything we do, there's such a sports mentality now and regencies and, you know, this town's better than this town. And who busts it wide open and proves me right? The college campus pissers. Because look what's happening. Binghamton starts it and then what? Utica's like, well, screw you.

We're going to do it. And now we've got P-Turf War. You got to give a little credit where credit is due. I love that this is allegedly started at state schools and then spread to the privates. But, wow, spread it to the private. I can't believe I just said that. That's awesome.

The plot thickens. Oh. There's a little more to this story. So there's a video. The first video that I saw was this gentleman at Syracuse explaining this concept and talking about what the hell's going on. And apparently he's been accused of being one of the pissers. He claims he is not.

But there's more to it. And I'd love to play this clip. And then we'll talk about it for a minute here. So I don't know this guy. He does appear to be a student at Syracuse University. Find these guys. You know, the TikTok. talk algorithm, bro.

No, I mean, like, oh, well, figure out. Let's, let's find out. This, uh, actually might talk about that. Piss hunters. This is getting out of hand.

Fellas, we have piss hunters. That's right. People that are trying to find these college pissers in the act. Uh, still really weird because if you do find them in the act, um, that's just still weird.

Um, if you're a piss hunter. But I have a feeling, I have an intuition that, the pissers college pissers are going cross country you're going to see pissers around a lot of different colleges there's going to be fake pissors as well fake accounts double accounts not the og from that school so that'll be interesting to see if those get weeded out or not but now we have piss hunters that is so weird so this concept of piss hunters i had already seen a few videos before him explaining it

of these people saying that we're the piss hunter and we will find you and So now there are people on campus trying to find the people pissing. That's where I was going next, which is what's the end game? What is this going to turn into? Because right now, it's just people peeing in random places in the town that they claim to be the pisser of. Okay. So now what? What's next?

I mean, that's it. I mean, that's it. No, but I think you're right. I think now it becomes let's find them. I think they just get bored. That's my prediction. I think this is like a news cycle style prank Side note

They will instantly get bored with All due respect to Danny Can we not normalize Speeding up people's voices Because we're that fucking impatient That we can't sit through That was a there was an effect that he used It was him

Okay good Because I am fed up Like I get that the tension spans of change I completely disagree with you there I'm not gonna lie I am standing firm on this I think it's pathetic If you can't sit through somebody's

speak about. Fuck that. Here's the thing. You got to understand. I'll be an old man on this one. No, here's the thing you got to appreciate here. Like, half the content on the internet is fucking trash. True.

So when you flip to a video and somebody starts telling a mildly interesting story, I personally are not willing to invest two entire minutes to figure out if it's worth my attention. So I'll hit the fast forward in. There was a guy on TikTok. I haven't seen him in a while, but he was the most brilliant account I thought. And he was called Get to the Point, Bro. And he would watch those videos for you and then do a video where he goes, this guy was mad at her.

She broke up with him. End of store. You know what? He would literally summarize the whole 10-minute bullshit story in one line. Get to the point, bro. One thing I'm trying to do that I've been aware of is I've got to stop wavering. I've got to stand firm on my opinion. A lot of times I waver.

But I will say when you put it in the context of like there's so much bullshit out there, how many times have you watched a two, three minute video and then at the end you're like, what the fuck? Yeah. Just wasted three minutes. That's what I'm saying. So in that context, yes, I'll give you. And also to some degree, like people need to learn, and this is just a content creator thing.

This is something that we all work on. You got to learn how to just get to the fucking point. Yeah. John Bon Jovi said, don't Boris get to the chorus when you're writing. Story, you know, storytelling is a good thing. It's a good tool in content creation, but not everybody has that. Get to the point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know what I mean? At some point, you got to deliver. Yeah. But anyway, this pissing thing is I, first of all, I think it's hilarious. Second of all, I'm excited to see where it goes if it really does turn into a piss under thing. And third of all, I love how much you loved it. Because I love that every, like, couple hours, you'd get a message that would go, we got a Cortland pisser. We got a herkimer.

And I was like, yes. I'm telling you, it just, it just. fed me a steady stream of a steady stream did you mean that what a genius guys that was awesome you said private you said stream genius the jokes right themselves i mean they really do they really thanks to the pissers uh what else we got today well i want to say real quick you remember uh a month or so ago uh i was talking about how i'm starting to get addicted to these crime documentaries and remember There was a whole thing with the way I say documentary. The only part of that that I remember.

Exactly. It's supposed to be documentary. I talked about the Bin Laden documentary. I talked about the American murder one, which was the greatest I'd ever seen. It was Bin Laden pizza. That's right. We did a whole bit on that. I do remember that.

Dude? There, and I saw this come up and I was kind of interested. It's, I forget the exact name. I think it's called Unknown Text, but it's the catfishing. It was number one on Netflix yesterday. and somebody I know posted on Facebook, you have to watch this documentary. It is like an absolute holy shit, mind-blowing ending.

And that hooked me. And so I said, okay, I'm sold. I watched it last night. Could not have been more accurate. I yelled holy shit out loud. Wow. Yeah, you have to watch. Now I know why it was number one yesterday.

I see. It is a wild. And don't look up the name. It's a documentary. It's like real events? This is a true story. Okay. So I will say you find out that it was actually well documented in the news,

but we're in the 24-hour news cycle these days. Nobody remembers. Yeah, you don't remember. So do not ruin it for yourself because like Fight Club was ruined for me. Someone was like, hey, by the way, it's him the whole time. He's not real. I never got to experience Fight Club. Don't look up the names of the people involved because it was a true story.

It is unbelievable. unbelievable. And I don't say that, I don't give these out light. All right. I promise. I'm no Ithaca pisser. All right. I don't know. Since we're on this, I'll give you a Netflix recommendation. So for a couple of days, my wife and kids

were out of town, I needed something to do and entertain myself. And I thought, you know what? I'm going to straight veg out. Yeah. Watch a Netflix show. That's great. So I got myself a pizza and wings and and set myself up on the couch all ready to go. And now what am I going to watch, which is always the worst part of the whole fucking endeavor.

Well, then it becomes you spending an hour, finding out what to watch. This time I got lucky. I stumbled onto this thing, and I'm going to, I'm not going to lie, this might be to some degree a little bit of a chick flick, but there's a lot of hot sex scenes.

So I'm just going to leave it out there. So fellas, it'll hold your attention. Do you think you looked up a chick flick because you would drink wine slushies right before? No, it was just, what Netflix fed me. It was good, though.

It was called The Hunting Wives. Okay. And it's about this wife and her husband from Boston who got on to Texas. Movie or documentary? It's a series, like an eight, eight-part series. Many documentary series? No, no. It's a fucking show.

It's not. Yeah, yeah. But it's great. And it's wild. And I didn't even realize there was really a mystery in it. So the first few episodes, they open up with some, like, weird crime, but they don't really reference it at all. So I'm sitting there through like half of the thing going, oh, and there's, you know,

other things, whatever, it's interesting. And then suddenly it's like, oh, shit. There's actually a story here that goes along with this other stuff. And then it's very suspenseful and you spend the rest of the time going, who done it? Yeah. And the whole time in my head, oh, it's definitely that guy. They're not, you know, it's definitely that guy. It wasn't that guy.

See, that's where Scooby Doo. It's one of those things where they did a good, a really good job of like, hooking you in at the end. It was like, okay, that was cool. When I was a kid, what pissed me off about Scooby-Doo was every time they would pull the mask off the criminal at the end, it was always the first character that they talked to. These new documentaries and series and movies, they make it a little more less obvious. But, yeah, like I said, I would recommend if you want one that's not too,

deep like I said it's eight episodes the hunting wives I thought it was wife hunting wives I thought it was wife hunters yeah good thing I didn't Google that one of the big one of the big things of the you know this this uh Boston liberal woman goes down there and all the wives are hardcore Texas gals and they they for fun go hunting

together the wives so that's that's where the name comes you remember the movie surviving the game speaking of hunting with ice tea no oh my god it was phenomenal it was a 90s movie you reminded me of it he uh He's tea who he joins these old rich white dudes for a hunting trip.

He gets invited and they go to this cabin in the middle of the woods. Do they find out east the one they're hunting? That's right. Dinner time they tell him, by the way, tomorrow at 6 a.m., you get a one-hour head start. And the only way you survive is if you get out of here. They don't know where they are to fly in through a helicopter. It's one of those movie plots that they've done like a hundred times. You know, they say, I heard this in school, that there's really, and I don't remember the number,

but they say there's only like 120 actual plots throughout the history of TV and film and it's just different adaptations of that plot. You know what I mean? Like, you know, nerdy girl becomes beautiful at the end, you know, that kind of thing. So you're probably right. Here's the thing, though, to some degree,

that's kind of cool because, you know, then you can kind of get into your genre of movies, right? Absolutely. The thing that you like. I used to love party movies, especially when I was a teenager, you know, Like the dazed and confused? Yeah, dazed and confused.

Can't hardly wait. Old school animal house, you know, going all the way back. You know, those type of... Zero. You know, just fun. Without some, like, bullshit conflict, some story that I don't give a fuck about. Just have fun. That can be the whole movie.

Yeah, like... You don't have to have some villain that's trying to destroy everything. Did you ever see Van Wilders? Yeah. Great one. Yeah. PCU. You and I love PCU.

That is a fucking classic. PC was great and it's not on any fucking streaming service. It makes zero. It's way too good to not be out there. I want to watch that movie again. It was Jeremy Piven doing Jeremy Piven things before Jeremy Piven was really popular. He was phenomenal. That made him.

And John Favreau? Did he direct that or was he just in it? I think he was just in. PCU. If you haven't watched it, you really. One of the best. It's. And also.

applicable movies still today. Yeah, especially with the social, political part of it. Never changed. Not one bit. It's wild. You could argue it got worse, you know? But that's a different story. Man, it's so good to be back with you, buddy, in the saddle.

Glad to have you back. I was afraid I was going to come back and you guys are going to be like, listen, it's been really peaceful around. We're going to have to let you go. I mean, it had been, but... Well, I'm sure. You know, what fun is that? He can't confuse with boring.

No. Danny and I can only talk about card games for so long. Speaking of which, Danny's retro GameCon is coming up in October. It is. Crunch time. What's the date? October, you've told me a million times. October 10th, 11th, 12th, right here in Syracuse is retro GameCon.

Our very own Danny, part of the committee planning. He's the guy, one of the guys. One of the three people that put on one of the biggest and coolest events in New York State. Not in Syracuse, in New York State. which is fairly wild. Three people. It's beyond wild. Now they have an army of volunteers.

Yeah. Which to me is a whole other thing, how you get so many people to help you out. Well, the gaming community, they're very giving with it. But it speaks how cool the event is, though. Well, and when you see it, you don't, like, if you showed me the footage that I've seen of Danny's past retro game cons, you sit there and you go, oh, wow, this is a huge event. Like, this must be like a year's worth of plan. They've probably have a whole committee.

You would not be able to piece together that it was three people to. that put that together. If you're not familiar with Syracuse, we have this place called the On Center. It's a convention center. It is the size of damn near every convention center. Insert city here. They sell this place out multiple days in a row. It's just one of the most incredible and it's fun.

There's all kinds of, I'm, you know, of course, the retro computer nerd. There's an entire section, which I could, I don't, I don't even know what's in the rest of the Con, to be honest with you. I stand this one section of the thing. Vintage computers, vintage gaming systems, hooked up and playable so you can play them. It's not just like a museum display. Right. To me, I don't care what else happens in the rest of the show.

To be honest with it, it's the coolest thing ever. Well worth the price of admission. We're obviously going to be there, good news, York, for the Retro GameCon and our boy, Danny. You will find me. I'm sure there's going to be, I'm going to be very Super Nintendo PlayStation heavy. because that's my jam. Nintendo, Super Nintendo, PlayStation.

Those are, so I will be spending lots of, I just can't wait to be like, oh my God, I forgot about that game. That's it. I got to get that. Or like, you know,

it's just, you want to talk about a nostalgia, wet dream. Jokes aside, that really is just a very small sliver of what happens at this show. It's absolutely, people enjoying cosplay,

there are different sessions and you're going to get to meet people and buy things the coolest vendors that you will find anywhere. If you are in this gaming, retro anything community, I don't, I feel like Amazon doesn't have as good a selection of cool things. No. Then you will find from these vendors at No. Because these vendors, I mean, this isn't, this isn't your run of the mill like I collect

stuff. I mean, this is a serious operation. And, you know, I got to tell you something. I had this quick thought of like, oh, I got to dress up in cosplay, you know, for the show. And I'm not going to do that because I have learned that the cosplay. You're famous on your own. I am not famous, but.

Maybe I could. That one guy is Mike. But if I realize that out of respect for cosplay, I'm not going to do it because there is a real community that does cosplay. And I'm not, they don't just throw on costumes, dude. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, no, no.

Like, if I just show up in my cute little costume, no, no, no, no. That's disrespectful. And they'll sniff me out. They'll be like, this guy's not for me. real. Yeah. Yeah, no, I mean, there are some serious cosplayers out there. For those of you that don't know, uh, cosplay means you, you, you, you, you

nobody doesn't know, Mike. For the, for the, for me, I'll, if they're listening to a podcast, they know, they know what cosplay is. I want to put a poll up now. Do you know what cosplay is? Write it in the comments. Do you know what cosplay is? Yes. I'm not completely sure what our, our average demographics are.

Maybe I am speaking on a tune here. I don't know. Maybe I am. Who knows? Cosplay could be, I mean, it sounds a little kinky, you know. They might not. They might be like, ooh, that sounds. Depends on what website you're on, my friend.
