01:14.762 --> 01:17.803
something was wrong. Patches was dancing.

01:17.823 --> 01:20.084
I thought he was waving at me like something

01:20.164 --> 01:24.046
is wrong. Stop the show. You're just feeling

really fun guests tonight. You may have seen

01:58.052 --> 02:00.152
that we've got in the celebrity spotlight,

02:00.673 --> 02:04.453
Benjamin Byron Davis from Red Dead Redemption

02:04.513 --> 02:07.174
and Guardians of the Galaxy. Borderlands

02:17.818 --> 02:20.921
Donnelly from the Zombies movies on Disney.

I know Patches is just super excited about

02:23.003 --> 02:29.823
that. Let's bring in the rest of the crew

02:30.964 --> 02:32.744
joining us tonight. And Patches, will you

02:32.784 --> 02:36.645
do me a favor? Will you send Brandon and

02:36.705 --> 02:39.886
Carl from PopCon the link to join? Because

02:39.966 --> 02:41.967
I may have sent them the wrong link. Neither

02:42.027 --> 02:44.147
one of them is here right now. So I'm guessing

02:44.608 --> 02:46.328
I may have sent them the wrong link. I would

02:46.348 --> 02:48.289
get on that. I've been doing that from time

02:48.349 --> 02:52.587
to time. All right, well Patches has taken

02:52.627 --> 02:55.869
care of that. I want to welcome the rest

02:56.010 --> 02:58.812
of the crew in here. From New York, Geek

A whole nother story.

03:08.380 --> 03:09.802
Way too long to tell here.

03:11.436 --> 03:13.797
Just go with it, just go with it.

03:13.857 --> 03:16.279
But we have a brand new kind of Nerdy Girls

03:46.398 --> 03:48.659
like the rest of the crew is doing. Leanne

03:48.719 --> 03:52.101
from Texas, one of our Patreon executive

03:52.161 --> 03:54.802
producers, always happy to have you here

03:54.983 --> 03:59.425
with us. And also joining us, as you can

03:59.485 --> 04:02.867
see, Michelle, our crew community coordinator.

04:03.887 --> 04:07.727
Listen, Michelle, I know that from the beginning

04:07.787 --> 04:10.088
of the Kinda Nerdy Network, you have had

04:10.648 --> 04:13.548
like, I don't know, five or six title changes.

04:13.569 --> 04:18.609
What was your first title? What was it? Executive

04:18.709 --> 04:21.710
Lorekeeper. Yes, yes. For our Kinda Nerdy

04:21.770 --> 04:24.271
Night Ends. Yeah. Like I would keep track

04:24.311 --> 04:26.571
of what we were doing for the next week.

04:27.231 --> 04:28.991
Yes, because I don't remember anything. Or

04:29.011 --> 04:34.893
question of the week or whatever. And so

04:35.133 --> 04:37.094
then, I don't know, you've had a gazillion

04:37.134 --> 04:40.715
titles. And when we announced last month

04:40.755 --> 04:42.355
that Michelle was joining the show, I was

04:42.375 --> 04:44.316
like, she's like, what's my title? And I'm

04:44.356 --> 04:46.577
like, crew community coordinator, because

04:46.597 --> 04:49.059
that's really, at the heart of things, like

04:49.119 --> 04:51.561
Michelle is always communicating with, you

04:51.581 --> 04:53.202
know, the most active people in the kind

04:53.242 --> 04:55.304
of nerdy network, we invite you to be one.

04:55.745 --> 04:57.887
She's sending out the emails saying, hey,

04:57.947 --> 04:59.889
this is your crew number when you sign up.

05:01.010 --> 05:04.253
But Michelle, I just decided that is too

05:04.293 --> 05:06.515
much of a mouthful. So congratulations, I

05:06.815 --> 05:08.917
have promoted you to assistant producer.

05:08.937 --> 05:10.779
Yay!

05:15.129 --> 05:18.170
So congratulations and please change your

05:18.190 --> 05:18.490
title.

05:18.770 --> 05:23.673
Are you going to get Michelle business cards?

05:23.813 --> 05:24.794
That's the question.

05:26.014 --> 05:28.176
You know, we do need to make new business

05:28.216 --> 05:32.218
cards. So I you know, if I get her the business

05:32.258 --> 05:34.999
card, she has to keep that title for at least

05:35.059 --> 05:37.220
like, you know, 500 business cards.

05:39.221 --> 05:41.863
Yeah. And all the time.

05:43.119 --> 05:45.700
And to keep you updated, yes, you did send

05:45.880 --> 05:47.640
the wrong link to our guests.

05:49.761 --> 05:53.561
All right. Well, coming up, we've got Carl

05:53.981 --> 05:56.322
from PopCon and Brandon Peters for the Brandon

05:56.342 --> 05:59.323
Peters show, who handles the PopCon podcast

05:59.343 --> 06:01.863
stage to talk about all that cool stuff.

06:03.203 --> 06:05.044
Let's go ahead and get into our announcements

06:05.204 --> 06:07.024
and then we'll get into what's popping and

06:07.064 --> 06:08.865
whatever the boys get here. Just let me know,

06:08.905 --> 06:11.605
Patches. Will do. It's a party. You're here.

06:11.625 --> 06:14.486
Michelle's here. Tia's here. Patches is here.

06:14.506 --> 06:16.546
When Carl and Brandon get here, they'll just

06:16.686 --> 06:17.967
knock on the door and we'll let them in.

06:18.167 --> 06:20.407
Yes. That's how this works, right? All right.

06:20.967 --> 06:24.588
Patches, would you please, in your fine,

06:24.708 --> 06:27.909
big announcer voice, announce that we have

06:28.009 --> 06:31.050

06:31.170 --> 06:36.911
Ladies and gentlemen, we have announcements.

06:38.785 --> 06:41.566

07:01.014 --> 07:02.795
asking like, hey, when am I going to get

07:02.815 --> 07:05.396
my Popcorn Louisville tickets? We send them

07:05.456 --> 07:07.397

07:09.478 --> 07:13.040

07:13.100 --> 07:15.482
announcement to share with you. We mentioned

07:15.502 --> 07:18.363
earlier the kind of nerdy night in and how

07:18.383 --> 07:21.985
Michelle's first position with us was the

07:22.125 --> 07:24.686
executive lore keeper. She'll be back in

07:24.727 --> 07:28.028
that job. On Friday, we are going to be doing

07:28.189 --> 07:31.070
another kind of nerdy night in. This is just

07:31.130 --> 07:33.552
an opportunity similar to like, you know,

07:33.652 --> 07:35.513
how we sit around here and talk about shows

07:35.593 --> 07:38.215
that we love, games that we love. It's your

07:38.315 --> 07:41.076
opportunity to jump into a Zoom call. Now,

07:41.216 --> 07:44.699
I will tell you, listen, I spent an hour

07:44.739 --> 07:47.180
today. Facebook put new restrictions on.

07:47.200 --> 07:49.341
I don't know how to get a Zoom call into

07:49.401 --> 07:51.409
our group right now. I don't know how to

07:51.809 --> 07:53.590
I have no idea how we're going to do it,

07:53.970 --> 07:58.192
but we're going to do it. So please, the

07:58.272 --> 08:01.053
best I can tell you right now is join the

08:01.094 --> 08:03.395
kind of nerdy network Facebook group. And

08:03.655 --> 08:06.556
I will post in the event the link for you

08:06.636 --> 08:08.737
to hop into this call and be a part of the

08:08.797 --> 08:11.898
conversation. So stand by and thank you,

08:11.958 --> 08:14.259
Facebook, for all of the wonderful changes

08:14.419 --> 08:17.060
you are always making to your platform. We

08:17.120 --> 08:17.481
love you.

08:17.501 --> 08:18.121
Thank you.

08:18.973 --> 08:22.236
Facebook really quick. I shared a post of

08:22.296 --> 08:25.878
yours recently, and it literally, like, xed

08:25.918 --> 08:29.761
it. It was like, No, sorry. Yeah, there was

08:29.821 --> 08:33.224
something I forget exactly what the wording

08:33.284 --> 08:36.426
was. But I couldn't do that. You know, they

08:36.466 --> 08:37.887
thought I was doing something wrong. And

08:37.907 --> 08:41.130
I'm like, I'm literally just sharing a post

08:41.170 --> 08:43.992
from KJ. So thanks, Facebook.

08:44.432 --> 08:46.454
I got that to me last week.

08:48.435 --> 08:50.336
Listen, I'll let me give you some inside

08:50.396 --> 08:53.618
information. There is a bug. There's a bug

08:53.658 --> 08:55.819
with the community standards with Facebook,

08:55.879 --> 08:59.561
because, you know, I'm a business on Facebook.

08:59.681 --> 09:04.364
So when I have issues, I like I have figured

09:04.464 --> 09:06.685
out over the years how to get to an actual

09:06.765 --> 09:08.946
person on Facebook. I'm not sharing it with

09:09.006 --> 09:11.248
anyone. Go figure it out yourself. I'm sorry.

09:16.306 --> 09:18.047
That is going to my grave because I worked

09:18.147 --> 09:19.908
way too hard to just be like, here's what

09:19.948 --> 09:23.750
you do, get to Facebook, people. But if you

09:23.950 --> 09:26.691
are a business who runs ads, and I often

09:26.752 --> 09:28.713
promote our events and things like that,

09:28.853 --> 09:30.614
and I'll be like, hey, I can't spend any

09:30.674 --> 09:32.795
money with you because you're making things

09:32.855 --> 09:36.517
weird. And I literally thought my page was

09:36.537 --> 09:38.058
going to get banned because it was just one

09:38.138 --> 09:39.560
after another what you're talking about,

09:39.600 --> 09:42.742
Tia, of like, that violates community standards,

09:42.762 --> 09:44.503
that violates community standards. And I

09:44.523 --> 09:45.984
was like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God,

09:46.064 --> 09:51.408
oh my God. And I got a very nice woman named

09:51.649 --> 09:55.144
Anna, and she was like, I just want to tell

09:55.164 --> 09:57.469
you, your content is so nice. I love your

09:57.549 --> 09:59.913
cats and all the positive things you're doing.

09:59.953 --> 10:02.077
And you're doing everything right. It's a

10:02.178 --> 10:03.941
bug on our side. Don't you worry about it.

10:03.961 --> 10:05.804
You keep putting out those positive vibes.

10:08.253 --> 10:10.333
All right, well, clearly I have to work hard

10:10.393 --> 10:12.914
because I was violating community standards

10:12.934 --> 10:15.475
by just sharing. Right.

10:16.815 --> 10:20.336
All right. We are going to get into... Knock

10:20.396 --> 10:22.196
on the door. What? Oh, is there a knock on

10:22.216 --> 10:22.436
the door?

10:22.456 --> 10:23.276
There's a knock on the door.

10:23.836 --> 10:26.457
Oh, who's there? Who's there, Patches? Oh,

10:26.477 --> 10:28.697
my goodness. Who's joining the show? Could

10:28.737 --> 10:31.578
it be Carl from PopCon and Brandon Peters

10:31.618 --> 10:32.898
from the Brandon Peters Show?

10:33.138 --> 10:36.099
I don't know. But in a world that

10:37.868 --> 10:39.049
Brandon's already sleeping.

10:41.030 --> 10:43.732
Peters, wake up. Oh, hi.

10:44.412 --> 10:47.474
I want you guys to know that the stream I

10:47.514 --> 10:49.555
invited you to was the pet of the week.

10:51.917 --> 10:53.898
I saw that after the fact. I wasn't even

10:53.918 --> 10:55.119
looking.

10:55.139 --> 10:56.099
She said you're too early.

11:00.025 --> 11:03.408
That will actually be for next Wednesday,

11:03.488 --> 11:05.709
because we you know what, you guys, I figured

11:05.809 --> 11:08.131
out since we went to a monthly show, we've

11:08.151 --> 11:09.752
still been calling it the pet of the week,

11:10.233 --> 11:12.334
but we only do it once a month. So I had

11:12.374 --> 11:15.477
a crisis yesterday and I was like, we can't

11:15.517 --> 11:16.978
call it the pet of the week if we don't do

11:16.998 --> 11:19.860
it every week. So even though we don't do

11:19.900 --> 11:22.442
the full KJ Today show every week, every

11:22.482 --> 11:24.083
Wednesday, we are now going to bring you

11:24.223 --> 11:28.515
a pet of the week. And Carl and Brandon,

11:28.555 --> 11:30.515
if you'd like to join and see the pet next

11:30.575 --> 11:32.356
Wednesday, you're welcome to, you have the

11:32.396 --> 11:32.676
link.

11:34.116 --> 11:38.838
Crash the party.

11:38.938 --> 11:44.379
We got a pet popping in. There we go. Which

11:44.479 --> 11:44.979
one is that?

11:44.999 --> 11:46.500
That one's Mira.

11:47.900 --> 11:49.321
Oh, little Mira.

11:49.581 --> 11:51.301
Yoda's over here completely covered up.

11:51.421 --> 11:53.802
Hi, Yoda. Two of them.

11:54.360 --> 11:56.661
They're chillin. Just chillin.

11:56.801 --> 11:59.163
How hard are you working now on PopCod Louisville?

12:04.205 --> 12:06.727
The badges are ordered. So the cool badges

12:06.807 --> 12:07.167
are ordered.

12:08.097 --> 12:11.260
Oh, yeah. Hey, that's it. You know, there's

12:11.280 --> 12:13.781
like little things about popcorn that are

12:13.961 --> 12:16.543
so much cooler than any other con, like the

12:16.663 --> 12:19.205
artwork on the badges. I wait every year

12:19.325 --> 12:21.246
to see what you guys are going to create.

12:21.326 --> 12:23.648
And they're always so cool. I keep them all

12:23.728 --> 12:27.090
like I love them all. I actually I have to

12:27.110 --> 12:29.452
prove it. I have Carl and I always end up

12:29.472 --> 12:32.714
doing show and tell when he comes to prove

12:32.814 --> 12:34.956
it. I got this one right here. Like, look

12:34.976 --> 12:36.677
how cute that guy is. Look at that.

12:37.144 --> 12:38.625
I have a rarity right by me.

12:39.205 --> 12:41.506
What you got? Oh, show and tell. He's ran

12:41.666 --> 12:41.786
out.

12:43.346 --> 12:47.088
Oh, here's even more rare.

12:47.908 --> 12:49.389
Oh, yeah. Show and tell. Show and tell.

12:50.189 --> 12:55.591
Oh, three day back. Wow. Oh, my God.

12:56.131 --> 12:57.832
We didn't even laminate them back then. This

12:57.912 --> 12:58.572
is just cardboard.

13:02.080 --> 13:03.602
We've come a long way, baby.

13:03.622 --> 13:06.764
That was the only year we did that because

13:07.205 --> 13:08.906
the little clip ripped right through that

13:08.946 --> 13:09.347
paper.

13:09.807 --> 13:12.449
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We learned that

13:12.489 --> 13:14.932
too with our very first KJ Today badges.

13:14.952 --> 13:16.413
We were like, nope, that's not going to work.

13:18.859 --> 13:21.540
All right, so we're gonna get into what's

13:21.580 --> 13:24.622
poppin' in pop culture, and then Carl from

13:24.642 --> 13:26.743
PopCon, Brandon from the Brandon Peters Show.

13:26.783 --> 13:28.224
A little bit later in the show, we're gonna

13:28.264 --> 13:30.846
dig into all of the exciting things that

13:30.886 --> 13:33.147
are going on with PopCon Louisville, so that

13:33.187 --> 13:35.608
you make sure you don't miss it. So without

13:36.088 --> 13:39.490
further ado, my friends, it is time for what's

13:40.251 --> 13:44.331
poppin' in pop culture. with Tia, powered

13:44.371 --> 13:48.013
by Conquest Journals and Geek Vibes Nation.

13:48.473 --> 13:49.414
Could you say that, Patches?

13:51.095 --> 13:54.037
What's Poppin' in Pop Culture is brought

13:54.057 --> 13:58.159
to you by Conquest Journals and our friends

13:58.420 --> 14:01.001
at Geek Vibes Nation.

14:01.081 --> 14:03.943
Yeah, all right. Oh, hey, that's me.

14:04.023 --> 14:07.165
The Dragon from New Jersey. Let's go!

14:12.053 --> 14:14.795
All right, Tia's got the top three stories

14:14.915 --> 14:17.076
popping in pop culture. Let's do it, Tia.

14:17.156 --> 14:19.878
All right, well, speaking about dragons,

14:20.098 --> 14:21.859
oh, wait, never mind. You're doing that one

14:21.899 --> 14:26.648
first. I thought it was going to be a good

14:26.688 --> 14:27.289
transition.

14:27.329 --> 14:29.810
We can do it. We can do it. That's OK. We

14:29.830 --> 14:32.110
can pivot on this show. Here we go. In three,

14:32.250 --> 14:33.131
two, one.

14:33.931 --> 14:41.254
OK, so speaking about dragons. House of the

14:41.294 --> 14:46.336
Dragon just finished its season two. It so

14:46.476 --> 14:49.098
this whole season was only eight episodes

14:49.178 --> 14:51.920
as opposed to the 10 episodes we had in season

14:52.240 --> 14:54.522
one And we're gonna have to wait two more

14:54.562 --> 14:59.266
years for season three Are you serious? this

14:59.326 --> 15:04.630
entire two years, um And so this entire season

15:04.710 --> 15:06.992
felt like it was just a build-up to the actual

15:07.052 --> 15:09.834
war that was happening and while the finale

15:10.435 --> 15:13.997
I didn't mind it as much it wasn't as say

15:15.019 --> 15:17.681
big as a lot of people wanted it. Because

15:17.741 --> 15:19.702
again, a lot of this season was literally

15:19.762 --> 15:21.763
just kind of moving the pieces towards the

15:21.803 --> 15:24.425
war. And let's admit, we sign up for this

15:24.465 --> 15:26.005
because we want to see the Battle of the

15:26.046 --> 15:29.387
Dragons. So that's what it is. Now you got

15:29.407 --> 15:30.348
to wait two years.

15:30.688 --> 15:33.770
Listen, I was patches came home from work.

15:34.110 --> 15:37.204
And I was like, Hey, I got, I think I got

15:37.244 --> 15:39.525
about maybe 20, 30 minutes left of this thing.

15:39.766 --> 15:41.367
Do you mind if I just watch it? Cause he's

15:41.407 --> 15:43.769
not watching it. And he was like, nah, I'll

15:43.789 --> 15:46.010
make dinner. That's totally fine. And so

15:46.070 --> 15:49.193
I was like, okay. So I hit play. And it,

15:49.313 --> 15:51.716
what, ran for like 10 seconds. And it rolled

15:51.756 --> 15:51.996
credits.

15:54.198 --> 15:59.063
It's like, is it over? It can't be over.

16:00.545 --> 16:02.907
But because of how long the credits are,

16:03.028 --> 16:05.310
and then they do like the recap thing, like

16:05.470 --> 16:08.453
it looks like you got 24 minutes, right?

16:09.574 --> 16:11.897
Did you think you had more time left too?

16:13.160 --> 16:16.884
I like at this point, I feel like I am experienced

16:16.984 --> 16:18.846
enough in knowing that like those credits

16:18.906 --> 16:21.889
take up like most of it. Just like if you

16:21.929 --> 16:23.730
ever watch any of the Star Wars shows on

16:23.770 --> 16:27.154
Disney Plus, it's like or even the Marvel

16:27.194 --> 16:33.860
shows, even though it says like maybe 20

16:29.576 --> 16:31.878
something, you only got 15 minutes or something

16:31.978 --> 16:33.820
of that and the rest of it is all credits.

16:33.860 --> 16:35.902
So you got the international language credits

16:35.922 --> 16:36.823
that go on forever.

16:37.269 --> 16:39.911
Yeah, that takes up about 10 minutes of the

16:39.931 --> 16:44.255
entire thing. I am not fooled anymore. I've

16:44.295 --> 16:45.156
learned my lesson.

16:45.216 --> 16:46.858
Is it weird that the international credits

16:46.898 --> 16:48.599
take longer than the regular credits?

16:49.540 --> 16:51.222
I mean, there's a lot of countries, so there

16:51.342 --> 16:53.364
are a lot of countries, but it's just vocal

16:53.404 --> 16:55.526
work, too. So. Right, right. I don't know.

16:56.026 --> 16:58.568
I did think that ending was like, oh, OK,

16:58.588 --> 16:59.289
we're done. All right.

16:59.803 --> 17:03.106
right all right all right what's the next

17:03.126 --> 17:05.728
show to binge i was like i was like did they

17:05.768 --> 17:09.051
forget some of it i was a little disappointed

17:09.091 --> 17:11.533
by that especially because again we are missing

17:11.593 --> 17:13.615
two episodes that we got from season one

17:13.655 --> 17:17.484
um I don't know. At this point, I'm just

17:17.505 --> 17:19.447
ready to see the dragons fight, but I'm trying

17:19.467 --> 17:22.712
to be positive because nothing will be as

17:22.792 --> 17:24.975
bad as the last season of Game of Thrones.

17:31.678 --> 17:34.279
Carl, you watched that whole thing and didn't

17:34.299 --> 17:35.279
know that was the end?

17:35.299 --> 17:39.240
Well, next week's going to be a banger, guys!

17:39.600 --> 17:44.682
Because it didn't end. It didn't! There was

17:44.702 --> 17:46.862
no indication that it was the final episode

17:46.882 --> 17:48.523
of a season. There was no real cliffhanger.

17:48.563 --> 17:53.104
There was no dialogue that said, oh, we won't

17:53.304 --> 17:53.884
hang on.

17:53.964 --> 17:56.024
It was very similar to a Horizon American

17:56.064 --> 17:57.925
Saga chapter one, where it's just like, nope,

17:58.361 --> 18:00.582
That's it. Right. It was like, come back

18:00.682 --> 18:01.602
for our next one.

18:02.062 --> 18:04.423
We've got some women walking down the hallway.

18:04.743 --> 18:04.923
Ed.

18:06.384 --> 18:08.585
Carl would have tuned in next week and been

18:08.605 --> 18:10.985
like, where are the dragons?

18:11.025 --> 18:14.046
Where starts on HB on Max next Sunday that

18:14.066 --> 18:17.448
Carl would have been like, the heck?

18:17.728 --> 18:19.268
Where is my house? Where's my dragons?

18:19.548 --> 18:22.729
Elon acts like, come on, man. You said it's

18:22.749 --> 18:24.670
supposed to post at nine o'clock. Where is

18:24.790 --> 18:24.830
it?

18:27.388 --> 18:29.431
Not likely I'd be working on popcorn and

18:29.451 --> 18:32.156
wouldn't even pay attention to it.

18:33.177 --> 18:34.399
Carl's a working man. Yeah.

18:34.980 --> 18:37.844
All right, Tia, what else is popping? Is

18:37.904 --> 18:40.608
it the first thing that was... Yeah. Okay,

18:40.688 --> 18:41.810
all right, here we go.

18:44.151 --> 18:47.574
So, um, Deadpool and Wolverine is now officially

18:47.694 --> 18:50.157
breaking records as the highest grossing

18:50.417 --> 18:54.200
R rated movie. It is now crossed 900 million

18:54.621 --> 18:58.284
globally, very much on its way to making

18:58.344 --> 19:00.586
a billion dollars, which is very exciting.

19:00.646 --> 19:03.909
Not that like it's a numbers game, but just

19:03.949 --> 19:05.731
the fact that people are that excited to

19:05.751 --> 19:07.953
go see a Marvel movie. We talked about this

19:08.013 --> 19:11.095
KJ last, um, what's popping and stuff. And

19:11.135 --> 19:13.116
I think last kind of nerdy girls that there

19:13.136 --> 19:15.656
was obviously a Marvel fatigue for a long

19:15.696 --> 19:18.057
time, but I think that Deadpool and Wolverine

19:18.117 --> 19:20.798
is kind of, you know, given the defibrillator

19:20.858 --> 19:25.899
to the MCU. Um, and numbers talk. So obviously

19:26.059 --> 19:28.179
with those types of numbers, the head haunches

19:28.259 --> 19:29.860
over at Marvel are going to see that and

19:29.900 --> 19:32.401
be like, okay, clearly we need to have a

19:32.461 --> 19:34.561
course correction. So yeah, I mean, and the

19:34.621 --> 19:37.622
highest rated, uh, are rated movie and it's

19:37.642 --> 19:40.243
a Marvel movie. I kind of feel a little smug

19:40.303 --> 19:41.984
about that. Yeah.

19:42.044 --> 19:45.465
Yeah. You just want to be like, yeah, suck

19:45.505 --> 19:46.446
on that DC.

19:46.726 --> 19:49.727
And it is true. Carl, I like how instead

19:49.787 --> 19:51.688
of just like jumping in, you're like, let

19:51.708 --> 19:54.009
me post a comment and then they'll see that

19:54.089 --> 19:57.071
I have something.

19:57.371 --> 19:59.552
I am never behind the scenes in StreamYard.

19:59.852 --> 20:01.433
I mean, I'm always behind the scenes in StreamYard,

20:01.493 --> 20:04.489
so I didn't, I've never actually tried to

20:04.549 --> 20:05.109
comment.

20:05.829 --> 20:08.751
Oh, this is new and exciting.

20:13.795 --> 20:17.157
Yes, I agree, Carl. I think it was the combination

20:17.377 --> 20:19.899
of Ryan Reynolds with Marvel that has made

20:19.939 --> 20:22.300
it so wonderful. And I don't know if you

20:22.340 --> 20:25.983
guys follow Ryan on any of his social media,

20:26.423 --> 20:28.806
But he's, like, making me cry every day.

20:29.186 --> 20:32.249
His posts about, like, the positivity that's

20:32.289 --> 20:35.812
coming out of this, how much Hugh has meant

20:35.852 --> 20:38.515
to him, his posts about, you know, Channing

20:38.555 --> 20:40.657
Tatum getting to play Gambit and, like, what

20:40.677 --> 20:42.318
a great guy he was and what it meant to him.

20:42.338 --> 20:44.160
Thanks for spoiling it. I haven't seen the

20:44.180 --> 20:44.741
movie yet.

20:46.622 --> 20:48.985
I mean, they're literally posting official

20:49.025 --> 20:52.698
images now. They're like, The movie came

20:52.778 --> 20:55.199
out on like a Thursday night and they were

20:55.280 --> 20:58.301
already at Comic-Con just like, here's everybody,

20:58.341 --> 21:00.462
come on to the stage, secret cameos.

21:01.243 --> 21:05.145
Yeah. No, we did that even, Kanan at Geekvibes

21:05.185 --> 21:07.326
Nation was doing that on X and I had to,

21:07.426 --> 21:10.168
I'm like, I'm trying to look at our own page

21:10.568 --> 21:12.709
for what's popping. And then I'm seeing,

21:12.869 --> 21:13.230
I'm like.

21:14.810 --> 21:18.252
Spoiler from Carly Popcon, Logan is dead.

21:18.553 --> 21:19.113
Oh God.

21:19.993 --> 21:22.254
Well, I saw Logan. Right.

21:22.354 --> 21:25.236
Well, you know, the good vibes from Ryan

21:25.256 --> 21:26.656
Reynolds are going to continue this weekend

21:26.696 --> 21:28.417
because he and his wife are going to dominate

21:28.437 --> 21:30.918
the box office with It Ends With Us is tracking

21:31.139 --> 21:35.101
for 45 to 50. Is it really? Yeah. They're

21:35.141 --> 21:36.841
going to own the number one and two spots.

21:37.222 --> 21:41.584
Wow. It's so funny to go from, you know,

21:41.864 --> 21:44.725
Deadpool to It Ends With Us, like very, very

21:44.805 --> 21:48.128
different movies. Yes. Very different. But

21:48.748 --> 21:49.168
all of them.

21:49.188 --> 21:50.249
A little bit different, a little bit the

21:50.269 --> 21:53.352
same. If you guys haven't seen the hot ones

21:53.472 --> 21:55.433
between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Oh,

21:55.453 --> 21:57.395
it's so good. It's so hilarious.

21:57.535 --> 21:58.035
Oh my God.

21:58.055 --> 22:00.897
It is like the best. So it's really good.

22:00.917 --> 22:02.559
I agree. I think it's one of the best. I

22:02.579 --> 22:05.641
think it's one of the best ones yet. Patches

22:05.821 --> 22:07.623
had me watch it. We literally sat at the

22:07.663 --> 22:09.644
table and watched it. And I was like spitting

22:09.704 --> 22:11.886
out my drink and my food, like laughing.

22:11.906 --> 22:15.310
Yeah. Excellent call, Tia. Thanks for bringing

22:15.330 --> 22:17.853
that up again. All right, what else is popping,

22:17.893 --> 22:18.014
Tia?

22:19.049 --> 22:21.610
Well, uh, borderlands is coming out August

22:21.630 --> 22:26.253
9th. Um, and it's cool because I like the

22:26.373 --> 22:29.614
idea that we're getting more video game adaptations.

22:29.774 --> 22:31.475
I've been saying this for a few years that

22:31.775 --> 22:33.836
it feels like a natural progression from

22:33.856 --> 22:37.038
the comic books. Um, and this is a really

22:37.098 --> 22:40.260
popular video game franchise and it has like

22:40.440 --> 22:43.061
a lot of stars. You got Kevin Hart, Jamie

22:43.121 --> 22:45.983
Lee Curtis, fricking Kate Blanchett. So,

22:46.043 --> 22:50.205
I mean, it's a. massive, massive team. Jack

22:50.505 --> 22:53.286
Black's in it. Jack Black's in it. He's like

22:53.326 --> 22:56.668
a voice. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm super pumped

22:56.708 --> 22:58.589
and everything. And KJ, I know what you're

22:58.629 --> 23:00.970
gearing for with this. So I want to kind

23:00.990 --> 23:02.031
of take it off you. I'm like, who else is

23:02.071 --> 23:07.953
gonna dance? Benjamin Byron Davis, the voice

23:08.373 --> 23:12.414
of Dutch. I wish Katie was here from Red

23:12.434 --> 23:16.375
Dead Redemption one and two, which is like

23:16.575 --> 23:18.536
awesome because he's been in a lot of like

23:18.576 --> 23:20.856
really cool nerdy things. So I'm happy that

23:20.896 --> 23:22.177
he's getting work, you know?

23:22.677 --> 23:25.978
Yes, absolutely. Here is actually a clip

23:26.038 --> 23:29.539
of Benjamin Byron Davis talking about working

23:29.579 --> 23:29.999
with Katie.

23:31.213 --> 23:34.496
Count on one hand actors that I've wished

23:34.596 --> 23:36.518
all of my life to be able to work alongside,

23:36.978 --> 23:39.300
number one every time would be Cate Blanchett.

23:39.440 --> 23:42.623
And to get off a plane and be in the lobby

23:42.643 --> 23:44.685
of the hotel in Budapest and see her, and

23:45.386 --> 23:49.369
we commiserated right away. I think I had

23:49.409 --> 23:51.471
the advantage of my first day working with

23:51.531 --> 23:53.393
Cate, she had just spent a week working with

23:53.453 --> 23:58.943
a trash can. So I think I think that my work

23:59.003 --> 24:03.046
was somewhat welcome as an actual living,

24:03.086 --> 24:04.827
breathing human being on the other side of

24:04.847 --> 24:08.550
the screen. But when you are waking up and

24:08.710 --> 24:18.877
you know that you're going to go work 12

24:10.411 --> 24:14.153
hours and your scene partner is Kate, you

24:15.094 --> 24:16.855
count yourself damn lucky.

24:18.877 --> 24:20.738
He was so much fun to talk to, and you can

24:20.778 --> 24:23.400
see the whole interview on Geek Vibes Nation.

24:24.451 --> 24:27.093
Carl, I do have, I have another clip of him

24:28.534 --> 24:30.416
talking a little bit about an Indianapolis

24:30.456 --> 24:32.158
connection that's coming up in the celebrity

24:32.178 --> 24:34.219
spotlight. But I will tell you, because you

24:34.259 --> 24:39.104
know, our, our friends, Rob Weedoff and Roger

24:39.144 --> 24:41.486
Clark with Red Dead Redemption love popcorn.

24:42.200 --> 24:44.723
I brought that up to him when we were after

24:44.743 --> 24:46.104
we had stopped recording and I was like,

24:46.384 --> 24:49.287
oh, why did I stop recording? But he was

24:49.347 --> 24:52.651
like, Popcon, I know Popcon, the one in Indianapolis.

24:53.692 --> 24:55.473
I want to go to Popcon. What's that? No,

24:55.513 --> 24:56.094
like I quit.

25:03.022 --> 25:07.425
I know, I'm so sorry.

25:08.305 --> 25:10.546
You know, because you're usually behind the

25:10.586 --> 25:12.727
scenes on StreamYard, that once you stop

25:12.787 --> 25:14.989
recording, you can't start recording again.

25:15.009 --> 25:17.870
And I just was like, I stopped it. And I

25:17.910 --> 25:20.131
was like, thank you so much. It's so great.

25:20.151 --> 25:22.253
You know, we love Red Dead Redemption. I

25:22.413 --> 25:25.314
mentioned Roger and Rob and I've worked with

25:25.334 --> 25:27.916
him at this convention we have here, Pop

25:27.996 --> 25:32.461
God. And he was like, I want to come to popcorn.

25:32.521 --> 25:37.064
So you're well known and Benjamin Byron Davis

25:37.104 --> 25:37.804
wants an invite.

25:38.424 --> 25:40.666
Well, we can probably make that happen.

25:41.486 --> 25:42.407
Wouldn't that be awesome?

25:43.587 --> 25:46.369
He has quite an impressive beard, by the

25:46.409 --> 25:49.050
way. Hey, Shay, were you thinking that while

25:49.090 --> 25:50.111
you were interviewing him?

25:52.388 --> 25:54.469
am not a beard person. No, I accept that.

25:54.589 --> 25:58.011
I'm sorry, Brandon. Sorry. Sorry, I'm offended

25:58.271 --> 26:12.220
here. So what I mean by that is that the

26:12.340 --> 26:15.142
only person I don't want a beard on is Patches,

26:15.162 --> 26:19.586
because I have to kiss him. But other men

26:19.646 --> 26:22.488
with beards, I notice or don't notice. It's

26:22.549 --> 26:25.711
not a big deal. I'm not staring at your beard

26:25.831 --> 26:27.513
and trying to decide, Brandon, if it's a

26:27.553 --> 26:29.554
good beard or a bad beard. It's a beard,

26:29.594 --> 26:30.635
so I'm looking past it.

26:31.456 --> 26:32.677
All these years, I thought you were.

26:37.039 --> 26:38.901
You really want to throw her? Just have a

26:38.981 --> 26:39.621
mustache.

26:39.941 --> 26:41.623
That's like... I've been told on this show

26:41.663 --> 26:43.184
that a mustache isn't cool.

26:43.825 --> 26:44.745
Right? It is not.

26:44.845 --> 26:45.386
It is not.

26:46.166 --> 26:48.468
I don't know. I tried for years to convince

26:48.528 --> 26:50.370
Pauly to grow out his facial hair.

26:50.390 --> 26:51.551
I thought you were going to say you were

26:51.571 --> 26:55.213
growing facial hair. I was like, what? I

26:55.254 --> 26:56.194
tried for years.

26:57.255 --> 27:00.998
And I finally got Pauly to do it and I think

27:01.018 --> 27:01.859
he's better for it.

27:04.246 --> 27:06.527
Yeah, see, listen to our friend Tia, KJ.

27:06.647 --> 27:08.888
It's fine. Tia doesn't have to have to...

27:09.128 --> 27:10.808
He would look cute, wouldn't he? Listen,

27:10.828 --> 27:13.089
Katie warns me. She said, I would like to

27:13.109 --> 27:15.530
see patches with a beard. You can see patches

27:15.570 --> 27:18.170
with a beard, but I'm not kissing him. So

27:18.230 --> 27:21.551
that's it. That's it. I'm sorry. We all have

27:21.632 --> 27:22.412
our preferences. All right.

27:22.532 --> 27:24.913
I want to... What about the soul patch? Ooh,

27:24.973 --> 27:27.593
there you go. Hey, I want this to go on record

27:27.813 --> 27:31.455
that she said, verbatim, patches can have

27:31.595 --> 27:34.900
a beard. I'm just not kissing him. She didn't

27:34.940 --> 27:38.383
say I couldn't have a beard.

27:38.663 --> 27:41.165
I think that Patches could pull off the lead

27:41.205 --> 27:43.588
singer from Disturbed. Like with the soul

27:43.628 --> 27:48.092
patch and like the two. Let's go.

27:48.172 --> 27:48.412
All right.

27:51.992 --> 27:54.813
hang on we've got a couple oh my god the

27:54.833 --> 27:57.174
show went off the rails i'm shocked we've

27:57.194 --> 27:59.775
got the celebrity spotlight coming up another

27:59.855 --> 28:02.916
click for uh clip from uh benjamin byron

28:02.956 --> 28:08.277
another d I said clip, guys, get it together.

28:08.297 --> 28:10.958
What else did you say? That's all I said

28:11.038 --> 28:14.500
from Benjamin Byron Davis. And then we also

28:14.540 --> 28:18.461
have McDonald and Jenny Garth with some positive

28:18.481 --> 28:20.782
vibes. So hang on just a second. We will

28:20.822 --> 28:23.843
be right back with more of the KJ Today Show.

28:30.046 --> 28:32.307

29:17.502 --> 29:18.703

29:20.604 --> 29:23.785
Thank you so much. That is that out there.

29:23.865 --> 29:26.246
Yeah, the dragon from New Jersey. This is

29:26.326 --> 29:30.503
the back of work. agenda, and I know that

29:30.543 --> 29:32.644
they made it for kids to go back to school.

29:32.684 --> 29:35.204
Maybe it's kind of didn't work, but I am

29:35.344 --> 29:38.445
using this like crazy. It is beautiful. It's

29:38.505 --> 29:41.186
got all the right pages. I'm just telling

29:48.107 --> 29:51.928
it's beautiful and it's one of my favorite

29:52.008 --> 29:55.349
things to do. So there you go. Thanks so

29:55.369 --> 29:55.529
much.

29:55.629 --> 29:58.870
Thank you, Shelley and the crew at Conquest

29:58.890 --> 29:59.090
Journal.

29:59.543 --> 30:03.425
All right, so since we only get together

30:03.485 --> 30:06.747
monthly, in between the shows, I'm chit-chatting

30:06.767 --> 30:09.589
with celebrities, bringing you the positivity

30:09.609 --> 30:12.410
that's coming out of pop culture. So I wanted

30:12.430 --> 30:15.012
to catch up with a couple of things. One,

30:15.992 --> 30:18.013
if you haven't seen my full interview with

30:18.193 --> 30:20.414
Benjamin Byron Davis that's streaming now

30:20.535 --> 30:24.357
on Geek Vibes Nation, I asked him right away,

30:25.730 --> 30:27.832
Do I have to, like, call you Benjamin Byron

30:27.872 --> 30:30.855
Davis? And I got a response, but I was not

30:30.895 --> 30:31.356
expecting it.

30:31.376 --> 30:34.198
Oh, please call me Ben, absolutely. The world

30:34.278 --> 30:37.161
is lousy with Ben Davises, so I chose to

30:37.201 --> 30:40.905
go with my full name just for clarity's sake.

30:41.966 --> 30:46.368
I'm in Indianapolis. There's actually a Ben

30:46.408 --> 30:47.529
Davis High School here.

30:47.549 --> 30:49.930
A Ben Davis High School. Their team is called

30:49.970 --> 30:51.912
the Giants, as a matter of fact, which I

30:51.952 --> 30:54.273
appreciate. I'm quite familiar with the Ben

30:54.293 --> 30:55.994
Davis High School. I'm quite familiar with

30:56.014 --> 30:58.315
the Ben Davis brand of clothing in Washington

30:58.355 --> 31:01.537
State. The Ben Davis variety of garden apple

31:01.678 --> 31:03.939
used primarily in cooking, I'm quite familiar

31:03.979 --> 31:08.650
with. Ben Davis, Benjamin O. Davis, for the

31:08.710 --> 31:09.750
Tuskegee Airmen.

31:11.151 --> 31:14.193
Listen, he went on and on about every Ben

31:14.253 --> 31:15.593
Davis there's ever been.

31:17.995 --> 31:22.237
He's very well-versed in Ben Davises.

31:26.379 --> 31:27.959
You know, honestly, that's reminding me of

31:28.020 --> 31:29.920
Elijah Wood. You could bring up any topic

31:29.980 --> 31:30.841
and he would just go.

31:32.792 --> 31:35.474
Yeah, it was a very similar conversation,

31:35.554 --> 31:38.596
which actually made chatting with Elijah

31:38.696 --> 31:41.979
Wood at his panel at PopCon so easy, because

31:42.019 --> 31:44.080
it was like, no matter what anyone asked

31:44.100 --> 31:46.682
him, he was like, boom, on top of it. And

31:46.722 --> 31:48.864
he remembered every little thing that someone

31:48.884 --> 31:51.946
brought up to him. So many times, these actors

31:52.006 --> 31:53.547
are like, I don't know, that was so long

31:53.607 --> 31:56.349
ago. I'm like, man, that guy's memory is

31:56.670 --> 32:02.274
sharp. He was really fun to talk with. I'm

32:02.314 --> 32:05.496
going to make an executive decision and move

32:05.576 --> 32:07.677
our other celebrity spotlight clips to tell

32:07.697 --> 32:09.138
me something good at the end of the show

32:09.158 --> 32:11.379
because they're super uplifting and fun.

32:11.459 --> 32:13.621
And yes, I kind of want to get right into

32:13.641 --> 32:15.862
the popcorn stuff. Can we get into the popcorn

32:15.902 --> 32:16.502
stuff, guys?

32:16.662 --> 32:19.344
Gee, I don't know, Carl from Popcon. Can

32:19.384 --> 32:21.706
we get into the popcorn stuff?

32:22.066 --> 32:23.967
Hold on for him to type it in the box real

32:24.007 --> 32:24.107
quick.

32:30.007 --> 32:33.373
I do. I do have a bone to pick with Carl

32:33.433 --> 32:42.073
from pop. Oh, I already know. Because, because

32:42.354 --> 32:45.936
Anson, I was there in Indianapolis, I'm from

32:46.036 --> 32:49.518
New York, I can't just go and Anson Mount

32:49.759 --> 32:52.520
is going to be at the one in Kentucky. And

32:52.540 --> 32:56.163
I can't go. So I'm very upset and sad.

32:56.203 --> 32:58.244
You have a bone to pick with Anson Mount

32:58.284 --> 32:59.125
then not Carl.

32:59.917 --> 33:03.040
No, I'm automatically going to say it's Carl's

33:03.180 --> 33:04.921
fault. He's too pretty to have a bone to

33:04.961 --> 33:05.201
pick.

33:05.221 --> 33:08.223
Please get on X and take your beef up with

33:08.363 --> 33:10.065
ants and mouse. Thank you. I would never.

33:10.505 --> 33:12.506
Whatever is steering you away from Louisville

33:12.627 --> 33:14.408
is what the bone is to be picking.

33:16.629 --> 33:20.792
It's true. It's true, Tia. It's that damn

33:20.812 --> 33:22.514
job you have. I know.

33:22.934 --> 33:25.836
It'll be OK, Tia, because we'll all be there.

33:31.267 --> 33:31.867
It'll be all right.

33:32.588 --> 33:34.588
So let's talk about that a little bit, Carl.

33:34.608 --> 33:37.509
Send you some faraway shots. Get into all

33:37.549 --> 33:39.590
the fun that we're going to be having at

33:39.690 --> 33:41.730
PopCon Louisville, August 23rd through the

33:41.770 --> 33:42.351
25th.

33:43.611 --> 33:47.052
Yes. So you named one of the celebrities.

33:47.112 --> 33:49.753
We've got, like any good PopCon, we've got

33:49.873 --> 33:51.773
a ton of fantastic celebrities.

33:51.793 --> 33:53.834
Louisville, it's time to. I didn't mean to

33:53.854 --> 34:01.593
do that. Shut up, Carl! Let me talk about

34:01.613 --> 34:02.814
it. It's time to level up.

34:03.695 --> 34:06.017
Did Carl shoot something to, like, lead into?

34:06.097 --> 34:07.639
Awesome segue. Good job, Carl.

34:07.659 --> 34:14.747
Hang on. Take two. Three, two, one. Go ahead,

34:14.767 --> 34:15.007
Carl.

34:15.087 --> 34:20.050
So, um, so yeah, so I've got Louisville,

34:20.290 --> 34:23.312
we have all the things, uh, except the film

34:23.332 --> 34:26.234
festival. So we've got a whole host of amazing

34:26.294 --> 34:29.636
things. We've got, um, uh, tons, uh, Oh,

34:29.676 --> 34:30.756
well, yeah, we're just going to go right

34:30.776 --> 34:31.877
through it. I don't even have to remember

34:31.897 --> 34:35.879
their names if you're going to do that. So,

34:36.199 --> 34:38.020
uh, yeah, I made, I made this quick little

34:38.080 --> 34:41.658
video as a promo just for, for the, S's and

34:41.678 --> 34:46.560
giggles, and we've got tons of amazing content.

34:47.080 --> 34:48.741
We're taking over pretty much the entire

34:48.781 --> 34:50.462
convention center at the Kentucky International

34:50.482 --> 34:53.423
Convention Center, and we've got all the

34:53.463 --> 34:57.004

That's what I do. I put those celebrities

35:05.247 --> 35:06.468
in their spots. That's right.

35:08.372 --> 35:10.254
And, uh, but we've still got, we're going

35:10.354 --> 35:12.355
to have the laser tag, the escape room, uh,

35:12.375 --> 35:15.338
the magicians, uh, we've got, uh, uh, we've

35:15.418 --> 35:18.881
upgraded our DJ parties to anime raves because

35:18.901 --> 35:21.723
that's all the thing now. Am I muted? What's

35:21.763 --> 35:24.165
going on? Oh, we have, we have, we have tons

35:24.225 --> 35:27.187
of live podcasts at the live podcast stage.

35:27.848 --> 35:29.429
Uh, it's like, am I muted?

35:29.449 --> 35:30.310
What's going on?

35:31.491 --> 35:34.033
Talk about my thing, Carl. That's why we're

35:34.073 --> 35:36.515
all here today. That's why we all got here.

35:38.950 --> 36:04.798
It's time to level up your fun There we go.

36:06.619 --> 36:10.403
So yeah, it's back. It's awesome. It's having

36:10.423 --> 36:14.647
its second go around in Louisville. And yeah,

36:14.667 --> 36:16.689
that's me. That's me doing those podcasts.

36:16.850 --> 36:21.034
So we are like a spot away from having a

36:21.094 --> 36:23.156
full roster of there.

36:24.318 --> 36:27.500
Um, I know, uh, I know a show that can fill

36:27.520 --> 36:30.442
in Mr. Peters if, uh, if we need, so I have

36:30.502 --> 36:31.623
some offers out there.

36:32.183 --> 36:35.165
Um, I'm trying to get some Louisville flair

36:35.445 --> 36:35.786
in there.

36:35.886 --> 36:39.088
I've got, I've got some of that, like topics,

36:39.168 --> 36:41.730
like, cause it's not, it's not just the,

36:41.950 --> 36:43.671
it's not just a bunch of, I mean, like we

36:43.691 --> 36:46.012
get up there and we just talk nerdy. Um,

36:46.152 --> 36:48.514
but there's a lot of, there's a lot of diversity

36:48.534 --> 36:49.975
in the podcast that you have on the stage.

36:50.115 --> 36:51.737
Right. So there will be a Brandon Peters

36:51.757 --> 36:53.999
show every day. Just keep it nice and diverse.

36:54.639 --> 36:57.762
I'm out. I'm out too.

36:57.802 --> 37:02.226
Can I get a refund? I got to be on it actually.

37:02.326 --> 37:02.807
I forgot.

37:03.508 --> 37:09.315
Damn. So, no, I've got some new stuff coming.

37:09.335 --> 37:12.620
I've got like a heavy metal podcast coming.

37:12.760 --> 37:15.504
They're bringing a guest to talk to. It's

37:15.524 --> 37:17.386
called Talk To Me, because the guy's last

37:17.426 --> 37:19.269
name's Toomey. So that's kind of clever,

37:19.329 --> 37:21.152
right? We're podcasting. We love the fun.

37:22.745 --> 37:25.907
And then there's a group like they're they're

37:25.927 --> 37:29.448
called bill entertainment I think their podcast

37:29.488 --> 37:32.530
is like chillin in the ville They are a local

37:32.590 --> 37:34.430
podcast that talks about things going around

37:34.470 --> 37:36.431
in the Louisville area. They're bringing

37:36.571 --> 37:41.093
like an improv comedian and a local pro wrestler

37:41.113 --> 37:44.955
to talk on Sunday during their show about

37:45.015 --> 37:45.615
it and

37:45.955 --> 37:48.095
And then I have- And we'll put the podcast,

37:48.175 --> 37:51.476
all of the podcasts in the schedule are up

37:51.696 --> 37:54.276
on, will be up on. I said are up, and then

37:54.316 --> 37:56.137
I looked at Carl and I'm like, will be up.

37:56.597 --> 37:59.357
Whenever they hit go on the schedule, those

37:59.457 --> 38:00.377
are the ones that are ready.

38:00.437 --> 38:00.918
They're ready.

38:00.938 --> 38:03.218
Popconloreville.com.

38:03.238 --> 38:05.698
You also got some of your classic Popcon

38:05.818 --> 38:08.019
ones, like the Established Facts. You have

38:08.039 --> 38:10.619
like the Next Level. The Grace Taproom podcast,

38:10.639 --> 38:13.160
who started at Louisville last year, came

38:13.200 --> 38:15.920
to Indie back in April and is I'm gonna be

38:15.960 --> 38:18.841
back home here in Louisville, do it again.

38:18.941 --> 38:21.302
So it is nice to have a nice full things.

38:21.342 --> 38:24.143
I've also got a couple like interview fund

38:24.163 --> 38:25.663
where I have a kickoff show again. That was

38:25.683 --> 38:28.784
a lot of fun last time to just start the

38:28.824 --> 38:31.545
weekend off on Friday, but a lot of fun to

38:31.565 --> 38:33.686
the podcast stage, a lot of different things.

38:33.926 --> 38:35.926
I like new podcasts. I like keeping it, like,

38:35.946 --> 38:37.947
since we go to Louisville, it shouldn't just

38:37.987 --> 38:40.108
be the indie transplants filling the stage.

38:40.188 --> 38:42.368
It's, you know, hit the Louisville. I reach

38:42.408 --> 38:44.449
out, there are like, I reached out to, because,

38:46.685 --> 38:49.007
I Bruce has some bourbon podcast because

38:49.027 --> 38:51.489
bourbons a big deal out there and that podcast

38:51.569 --> 38:54.111
and they have a few and Some of them like

38:54.131 --> 38:55.112
I'm trying to get him to come but they're

38:55.132 --> 38:57.794
like, well, do I fit this? I go podcast fit

38:57.854 --> 38:59.715
this and I like lots of different podcasts

38:59.755 --> 39:02.537
and this is very local yeah, there's something

39:02.577 --> 39:04.239
different and I'm trying to encourage them

39:04.319 --> 39:07.421
to to come and take a spot on the stage and

39:07.621 --> 39:08.722
I mean when in Rome, dude

39:15.227 --> 39:16.868
Can we say it?

39:16.888 --> 39:19.929
So that's one of the things I love about,

39:20.069 --> 39:23.090
you know, popcon is. Yeah, I mean, I don't

39:23.130 --> 39:26.031
know any other any other con. And certainly

39:26.071 --> 39:28.192
I would say popcon is the first that would

39:28.352 --> 39:32.274
be doing this full podcast stage. What is

39:32.314 --> 39:32.974
that, Carl?

39:34.455 --> 39:37.416
It is bourbon stones, whiskey stones.

39:38.556 --> 39:39.817
Oh, are you a bourbon drinker?

39:40.828 --> 39:43.671
Um, I yeah, actually I'm not I'm not a bourbon

39:43.691 --> 39:45.712
person But I know it can get quite nerdy

39:45.852 --> 39:48.074
in those worlds and like the craft beer worlds

39:48.434 --> 39:51.237
the wine worlds They are, you know They can

39:51.377 --> 39:52.838
they can nerd it up in their own way and

39:52.878 --> 39:54.519
they don't realize how much they fit in with

39:54.559 --> 39:57.181
a group of collectors And anime fans and

39:57.221 --> 39:59.643
video game nuts like you have your own we

39:59.683 --> 40:01.725
all have our things that we understand and

40:01.765 --> 40:03.647
I think it's cool to share it and maybe convert

40:04.107 --> 40:05.588
or people they're being like I didn't know

40:05.628 --> 40:06.309
they were doing this

40:06.709 --> 40:09.271
Yeah. You never know. Absolutely. I think

40:09.291 --> 40:10.652
that's one of the great things. We'll get

40:10.672 --> 40:12.974
to your question, Tia. Thank you. Michelle,

40:13.434 --> 40:16.977
no podcast awards. We only do those in Indianapolis.

40:17.358 --> 40:20.980
Exclusive. But we encourage the podcasts

40:21.020 --> 40:23.883
that are on the stage in Louisville to make

40:23.923 --> 40:26.405
sure that they are entering to win. Go ahead,

40:26.445 --> 40:28.867
Tia. What's your question about PopCon Louisville?

40:29.527 --> 40:31.407
How much are plane tickets? You can look

40:31.427 --> 40:35.168
that up on Google, right?

40:35.448 --> 40:38.789
The question actually was what the heck is

40:38.809 --> 40:42.130
a bourbon stone? I don't know what that is.

40:42.330 --> 40:45.431
Kidney stones. It's a whiskey stone. Does

40:45.451 --> 40:48.672
that clear it up? You put it in your drink.

40:49.312 --> 40:52.613
So you put these in the freezer and they

40:52.873 --> 40:54.513
get to the same temperature as an ice cube.

40:55.325 --> 40:58.387
And so when you put these in your drink,

40:58.647 --> 40:59.668
it does not water it down.

41:01.029 --> 41:05.012
You bourbon drinkers are nerdy. Look at that.

41:05.832 --> 41:10.055
I will say that it is it is common practice

41:10.115 --> 41:14.118
to put a a drop or two of water in with your

41:14.158 --> 41:16.800
bourbon because it brings out a lot of the

41:16.900 --> 41:19.501
flavor. So but you don't want to water it

41:19.581 --> 41:23.412
down with an entire cube. So if you've ever

41:23.452 --> 41:29.296
seen the real whiskey, it's a ball of ice.

41:29.356 --> 41:31.678
So you don't pour in shaved ice, you don't

41:31.718 --> 41:34.520
pour in. So even if you do get a real ice

41:34.560 --> 41:38.103
cube, it has very little, it's maximum surface

41:38.183 --> 41:40.765
area, well, no, minimum surface area, so

41:40.785 --> 41:41.886
that it doesn't melt as much.

41:42.406 --> 41:46.647
To tie in here, was it Star Trek 2009 or

41:46.687 --> 41:49.008
Into Darkness that had like a perfectly round

41:49.188 --> 41:51.108
whiskey ball that was a big deal for a bit

41:51.768 --> 41:52.988
that people were trying to get? That was

41:53.028 --> 41:55.049
in one of those, the J.J. Abrams?

41:55.389 --> 41:57.970
Yeah, I've got a Death Star mold that makes

41:58.030 --> 41:59.250
big round Death Stars.

41:59.470 --> 42:01.871
That's so cool.

42:02.011 --> 42:07.532
And it's big. It's like the size of a racquetball

42:07.812 --> 42:08.052
ball.

42:08.662 --> 42:10.584
I think you actually showed that on the very

42:10.624 --> 42:12.686
first KJ Today show. I think that was a show

42:12.726 --> 42:14.267
and tell thing that you shared with us.

42:14.748 --> 42:16.529
Oh, yeah. I probably had it back here on

42:16.549 --> 42:16.990
my shelf.

42:17.070 --> 42:20.193
Yes. Yeah, you did. Yeah. Oh, man. Bring

42:20.213 --> 42:21.834
it back. Good times. Carl's got all the fun

42:21.854 --> 42:23.876
toys. That first KJ Today show was a hot

42:23.916 --> 42:26.479
mess. And Carl was right there with us. Yes,

42:26.519 --> 42:30.963
he was. Now we got the Star Trek.

42:31.844 --> 42:33.325
If I cover it up, maybe it's Pike.

42:39.729 --> 42:42.112
All right, so I do want to remind all of

42:42.152 --> 42:44.415
you who are part of the crew that PopCon

42:44.856 --> 42:48.401
is so cool to let us offer you one day passes

42:48.541 --> 42:51.985
for free. free if you are signed up as a

42:52.425 --> 42:54.727
KJ kinda nerdy crew member. So if you go

42:54.747 --> 42:57.829
to kjtodayshow.com, I need you to sign up

42:57.869 --> 43:00.171
by Friday so that I can get these guys their,

43:00.191 --> 43:03.313
uh, the names and get you your tickets in

43:03.333 --> 43:06.316
your inboxes and get us all ready. But, uh,

43:06.376 --> 43:09.178
don't, don't miss out on a chance to experience

43:09.218 --> 43:11.340
pop con and Louisville, even if you're watching

43:11.360 --> 43:12.981
an indie, it's such an easy drive. That's

43:13.001 --> 43:17.085
why we all go and do it. So the hotel discounts

43:17.245 --> 43:20.628
are amazing. We make it as easy as possible.

43:20.808 --> 43:22.190
And as you can tell from what we've been

43:22.230 --> 43:25.473
talking about, it does not matter what you

43:25.793 --> 43:28.216
nerd out about. It's going to be a popcorn,

43:28.396 --> 43:29.937
including bourbon, apparently.

43:31.937 --> 43:34.099
I'm trying. Make it happen, Peters. Make

43:34.119 --> 43:34.379
it happen.

43:34.419 --> 43:35.920
I'm trying to make it happen. There will

43:35.940 --> 43:37.101
be bourbon in the building.

43:37.761 --> 43:40.323
That's true.

43:40.883 --> 43:43.565
And maybe Irish stuff, too. You never know.

43:44.166 --> 43:46.728
And in Tia's defense, she disagrees that

43:46.768 --> 43:49.730
it's a super easy drive, but... I was just

43:49.790 --> 43:52.371
about to go on YouTube and comment that on

43:52.472 --> 43:55.994
the video. I was like, okay, yeah, easy transport.

43:59.864 --> 44:01.988
Do we have somebody else in New York that

44:02.008 --> 44:04.794
would like to road trip with Tia? Please

44:04.995 --> 44:05.856
reach out.

44:05.977 --> 44:09.003
It's only a 12 hour drive from New York City.

44:09.023 --> 44:09.704
There you go.

44:11.033 --> 44:14.375
Listen, a half hour drive for me is a lot.

44:15.535 --> 44:19.978
People in Indiana drive to Florida like they're

44:20.018 --> 44:23.500
just going to the grocery store. It's the

44:23.560 --> 44:25.321
weirdest thing. When I moved here, they're

44:25.361 --> 44:27.462
like, I'm driving to Florida. I'm like, you

44:27.563 --> 44:30.184
drive 12 hours? It's not a big deal.

44:30.604 --> 44:37.610
Like, Really quick like back in the day my

44:37.690 --> 44:40.673
best friend for like a little bit moved across

44:40.733 --> 44:43.996
the bridge and like realistically a 25 to

44:30.604 --> 44:46.438
30 minute drive but when that happened it

44:46.458 --> 44:48.860
was like wow are we like just not gonna be

44:48.900 --> 44:54.246
friends anymore that sounds like You're terrible.

44:54.286 --> 44:56.708
That was the deal breaker, huh?

44:56.809 --> 44:58.931
Not the sturdiest bridge between you, apparently.

45:00.272 --> 45:03.776
Hey, we have still been friends since freshman

45:03.796 --> 45:05.278
year of high school, okay?

45:05.298 --> 45:08.522
Very nice, very nice.

45:09.063 --> 45:10.183
Yeah. All right.

45:10.223 --> 45:13.384
You're the popcorn or him.

45:14.685 --> 45:15.985
She wants a road trip.

45:16.305 --> 45:18.986
Come across the bridge. We'll go. I leased

45:19.006 --> 45:22.687
my car. Sorry. I have a mileage. All right.

45:22.707 --> 45:24.728
So if you are a scientist and working on

45:24.768 --> 45:28.000
teleportation and need a beta tester. to

45:28.200 --> 45:29.621
send to Louisville. There you go.

45:29.701 --> 45:33.284
There you go. All right. We are going to

45:33.324 --> 45:36.346
keep Carl and Brandon here as we continue

45:36.406 --> 45:38.687
the PopCon preview party. Part of the show

45:39.868 --> 45:42.449
that we love is... What?

45:42.850 --> 45:45.431
Do you not want to stay?

45:45.632 --> 45:46.832
Are we boring you?

45:46.892 --> 45:50.335
Brandon made it funny. He wants a nap.

45:51.209 --> 45:53.149
I'm contractually obligated to stay, I know.

45:53.170 --> 45:56.850
I wanted you to stay because it's time for

45:56.930 --> 46:00.111
everybody's favorite part of the show. Don't

46:00.331 --> 46:06.673
screw the crew! Where were you guys on that?

46:06.713 --> 46:08.533
Come on, let's get a take two. Three, two,

46:08.553 --> 46:20.041
one. Don't screw the crew! Tonight's crew

46:20.081 --> 46:23.924
member is Mina, crew number 142. We are playing

46:24.525 --> 46:27.167
for a chance for Mina to win all of those

46:27.247 --> 46:30.090
cool back to school things that we were talking

46:30.150 --> 46:33.293
about. Back to Hogwarts agenda. We've got

46:33.373 --> 46:36.176
the tote bag from Conquest Journals. We've

46:36.216 --> 46:39.579
got the Hogwarts Express notebooks. Oh, the

46:39.679 --> 46:41.541
floating Hogwarts acceptance letters.

46:41.581 --> 46:42.441
The brand new one.

46:42.602 --> 46:43.803
Oh yeah, everything you need.

46:43.903 --> 46:46.625
And the new Remember All pen. Yeah, and guys

46:46.645 --> 46:48.106
I've actually written with that pen that

46:48.126 --> 46:49.768
thing writes really nice.

46:49.828 --> 46:51.509
I do my journaling in the morning with it.

46:51.549 --> 46:54.091
It's a nice pen Yeah

47:14.932 --> 47:17.154
Dear journal, this pin is nice.

47:18.995 --> 47:20.095
That's my KJ impression.

47:20.115 --> 47:22.697
Thank you. That is spot on, dude. That is

47:22.737 --> 47:23.517
spot on, well done.

47:23.557 --> 47:26.099
I was like, what am I hearing myself? That's

47:26.159 --> 47:27.960
amazing.

47:28.000 --> 47:29.261
Fatches make good breakfast.

47:30.161 --> 47:33.864
Why did you sound like Cora? How is she Cajun

47:33.904 --> 47:41.368
then all of a sudden? Oh my God. All right.

47:42.507 --> 47:50.073
You know how this works. We've got three

47:50.133 --> 47:52.775
trivia questions, all pop culture. We get

47:52.815 --> 47:55.817
two out of three right. We don't screw the

47:55.857 --> 48:01.622
crew. OK, so so how do we want to do this

48:01.642 --> 48:03.603
with these three questions? We want to have

48:03.683 --> 48:05.565
Carl and Brandon be lifelines or do we want

48:05.585 --> 48:07.766
to have Carl and Brandon each answer a question

48:07.806 --> 48:09.788
and then everybody participates for the third

48:09.888 --> 48:09.968
one?

48:10.769 --> 48:12.430
Uh, yeah, we'll be the lifelines for Carl

48:12.450 --> 48:12.751
and brain.

48:12.791 --> 48:17.534
Perfect. Even though it really should be

48:17.554 --> 48:23.097
the opposite way. Raise your hand. One, two,

48:23.638 --> 48:27.060
three. That's enough. Tia, you're not voting.

48:27.080 --> 48:31.883
Uh, no, she's smart.

48:32.324 --> 48:32.784
She's smart.

48:34.045 --> 48:35.506
Okay. I'm staying out of this.

48:38.151 --> 48:41.674
I mean Carl, yes, because like he's the one

48:41.714 --> 48:44.716
who's in charge of all of the poppy stuff

48:44.797 --> 48:47.258
at pop con and everything He's a nerd but

48:47.319 --> 48:49.841
like is Brandon. I don't know.

48:49.881 --> 48:52.463
I don't I don't know The stocks today everybody

48:52.503 --> 48:54.824
Have Brandon shift his camera to all the

48:54.844 --> 48:56.786
DVDs and blu-rays that are right next.

48:56.846 --> 48:56.946
Oh

49:06.473 --> 49:08.175
Oh, right next to your Betamaxes? That's

49:08.255 --> 49:10.297
great. Good job having the physical copy,

49:10.317 --> 49:11.378
bud.

49:11.799 --> 49:14.161
You probably can't even play.

49:14.181 --> 49:18.426
No comment.

49:19.106 --> 49:25.118
In all fairness. The first question is movies.

49:25.178 --> 49:26.979
So I'm going to give it to Carl because I

49:27.019 --> 49:30.562
think Brandon is way too like he's this could

49:30.582 --> 49:31.483
be way too easy.

49:31.563 --> 49:32.604
So you don't want to help me now.

49:32.684 --> 49:35.026
OK, I'm not going to help you. You're going

49:35.046 --> 49:37.869
to get the music trivia. OK. All right. Here

49:37.889 --> 49:41.592
we go. Question number one, the category

49:41.772 --> 49:47.473
is music. Nope, sorry. Take two. It's a great

49:47.513 --> 49:47.893
night.

49:47.993 --> 49:50.294
It's going great, guys. Everybody, take two.

49:50.314 --> 49:56.738
That was a real nice show. It's a really

49:56.778 --> 50:01.061
nice show we got here. It's going good. JJ2

50:01.081 --> 50:01.361
day.

50:01.381 --> 50:04.603
This show is not ending on time. No, it sure

50:04.683 --> 50:09.430
isn't. All right. There we are. Go, Carl.

50:09.450 --> 50:12.271
Go, Carl. Question number one. The category

50:12.491 --> 50:17.092
is movies. Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, and Jamie

50:17.132 --> 50:21.774
Girtz starred in what 1996 film about chasing

50:21.854 --> 50:22.474
tornadoes?

50:23.094 --> 50:23.794
Oh, my God.

50:24.534 --> 50:29.456
That's easy. There's a remake of it in the

50:29.496 --> 50:30.696
theaters right now.

50:30.776 --> 50:32.156
Right now.

50:32.216 --> 50:32.676
Members of.

50:32.716 --> 50:36.202
That better be my question. It'd be the singular

50:36.262 --> 50:39.164
twister versus the current plural twisters.

50:40.025 --> 50:41.106
That is correct.

50:41.146 --> 50:44.409
Yeah.

50:44.449 --> 50:45.450
All right.

50:45.550 --> 50:50.574
Very good, Carly. All right. I can see the

50:50.634 --> 50:55.638
cow right now. Another cow. The iconic cow.

50:55.998 --> 51:01.303
All right. Here we go. Question number two.

51:01.763 --> 51:05.787
Brandon, the category is music. Finish the

51:05.847 --> 51:08.569
lyric from this Taylor Swift song. Oh, God.

51:12.671 --> 51:16.793
But I keep cruising. Can't stop. Won't stop

51:16.893 --> 51:20.495
moving. It's like I got this music in my

51:20.555 --> 51:20.915
mind.

51:20.935 --> 51:26.458
Is there something after it?

51:26.719 --> 51:26.999
Yeah.

51:32.682 --> 51:36.012
Anyone know this one? OK, go on. Sing it,

51:36.093 --> 51:38.394
sing it a little bit, KJ, I wanna hear it.

51:38.434 --> 51:41.536
I wanna hear it sung. Can't stop, won't stop

51:41.576 --> 51:44.518
moving. It's like I got this music in my

51:44.538 --> 51:46.219
mind. All of a sudden I'm William Shatner.

51:48.061 --> 51:49.782
I'm Nick Forming Rocket Man.

51:51.263 --> 51:55.686
All right, Brandon.

51:58.408 --> 52:01.830
Three. It's like, it's what, it's Shake It

52:01.950 --> 52:03.091
Off is the song, right? Yeah.

52:05.237 --> 52:07.058
I'm trying to help at least a little bit.

52:07.418 --> 52:11.080
I don't know what the words are.

52:11.120 --> 52:13.481
Does someone from the audience have an answer?

52:15.161 --> 52:18.703
No one. Okay. Tia, you know? Michelle?

52:18.723 --> 52:22.044
I don't listen to Taylor Swift. I don't either.

52:22.064 --> 52:25.286
Okay, the hipster up in the corner.

52:25.346 --> 52:27.347
Saying it's gonna be alright.

52:28.007 --> 52:30.565
Huh? saying it's gonna be all right saying

52:30.605 --> 52:33.627

52:56.823 --> 52:59.205
I've ever got one wrong. That's the first

52:59.245 --> 52:59.945
time. All right.

52:59.985 --> 53:01.987
Historic night. Historic night. Okay. We

53:02.007 --> 53:05.029
got to go to question number three. Uh, is

53:05.069 --> 53:06.931

53:10.093 --> 53:12.675
your hand. Don't shout it out. Thank you.

53:12.695 --> 53:17.822
Some rules on Albuquerque. All right, so

53:17.862 --> 53:19.883
that we don't screw the crew, so that Mina

53:19.903 --> 53:22.404
gets her conquest journals back to her Hogwarts

53:22.444 --> 53:25.625
prize pack. Here we go. The category is TV.

which feature one actor, Patrick, Sarah Michelle

53:35.708 --> 53:36.028
Gellar.

53:36.068 --> 53:37.188
No, I'm kidding, David Boreanaz.

53:46.278 --> 53:48.940
All right, congratulations. Mina, we did

53:48.980 --> 53:50.941
not screw you tonight. We will be sending

53:50.981 --> 53:53.543
your prize off to you. If you want us to

53:53.623 --> 53:56.044

53:56.064 --> 53:59.747
you sign up for the KJ Crew. Go to kjcrew.com.

53:59.787 --> 54:03.909
That's kjcrew with a K dot com. All right,

54:04.170 --> 54:06.571
what else do we have to do here, guys? We

54:06.591 --> 54:08.812
got Tell Me Something Good going on? Sure.

54:09.832 --> 54:14.275
Yeah, we got tell me something good going

54:14.596 --> 54:14.756
on.

54:14.776 --> 54:18.538
It's OK. I'm not happy about that. Sounds

54:18.558 --> 54:19.599
like a sore loser.

54:20.180 --> 54:22.261
You know, I'm mad at myself. I'm not mad

54:22.281 --> 54:23.062
at everybody else.

54:23.762 --> 54:26.004
I'm mad. Don't don't be mad.

54:26.084 --> 54:28.385
The problem, it's me. Got it.

54:29.006 --> 54:32.709
Brandon, I'm going to give you a little advice

54:33.629 --> 54:37.032
from Taylor Swift. Shake it off.

54:37.652 --> 54:38.012
Oh, OK.

54:39.437 --> 54:43.139
All right, all right. Or we could go really

54:43.279 --> 54:45.820
old with Aaliyah and just dust yourself off

54:46.020 --> 54:46.680
and try again.

54:46.700 --> 54:50.402
If at first they don't succeed. Dust yourself

54:50.482 --> 54:51.763
off and try again.

54:51.783 --> 54:53.603
There you go.

54:53.623 --> 54:56.245
We could also go with my new dinger. Nope,

54:56.545 --> 55:00.226
not today. Thank you, Sam at Summer Bash

55:00.246 --> 55:01.587
Indiana for the new dinger.

55:01.607 --> 55:05.068
Someone tuned in at the wrong time.

55:09.265 --> 55:12.026
we've got a little good news for you and

55:12.126 --> 55:13.887
we got way too much to do so we're gonna

55:13.907 --> 55:15.487
have to cut some stuff from the show i'm

55:15.547 --> 55:17.928

55:27.432 --> 55:29.273
the comments, Michelle, please let me know.

55:29.293 --> 55:31.293
In the meantime, I'll give you a little bit

55:31.333 --> 55:34.455
of good news for our KJ crew members. Again,

55:34.495 --> 55:37.276
it pays to be a KJ crew member and it costs

55:37.316 --> 55:39.577
nothing. We've got a couple of concerts coming

55:39.697 --> 55:42.958
up at the Nickel Plate Amphitheater. And

55:42.998 --> 55:45.639
if you want to win those tickets, Brett Dinnan

55:45.919 --> 55:48.840
and also Nico Moon are coming. We've got

55:48.920 --> 55:51.401
those free tickets for you. get yourself

55:51.441 --> 55:54.163
signed up, and we will be giving those tickets

55:54.223 --> 55:57.265
away a week from Friday. So you have a chance

55:57.285 --> 56:01.207
to plan to go to those concerts. We did have

56:01.247 --> 56:04.028
some good news about Lisa Loeb, who was just

56:04.268 --> 56:07.610
on the show. I don't know if it's that guitar,

56:07.650 --> 56:09.871
but did you guys hear when she was in Indianapolis

56:09.911 --> 56:12.753
that someone stole her guitar? Oh my God.

56:13.213 --> 56:13.593
Yeah.

56:13.773 --> 56:13.894
Okay.

56:13.954 --> 56:15.194
I hung it up right over here.

56:18.578 --> 56:21.240
So listen, it's going around, people are

56:21.280 --> 56:24.063
sharing it. If you see Lisa Loeb's guitar

56:24.103 --> 56:28.146
in Indianapolis, please let her know. She's

56:28.246 --> 56:31.128
very sad she lost her guitar. My friend Joel

56:31.168 --> 56:33.210
from O'Reilly's texts me from O'Reilly's

56:33.310 --> 56:36.213
Irish pub downtown, and he says, I have Lisa

56:36.253 --> 56:39.375
Loeb's guitar. And I'm like, ha, ha, ha,

56:39.395 --> 56:41.957
ha, Pixar didn't happen. And he sent me a

56:42.037 --> 56:49.331
picture of the guitar. Wow. So he saw somebody

56:50.232 --> 56:52.953
wandering down the street with a guitar that

56:52.993 --> 56:55.073
didn't look like it should be theirs. And

56:55.173 --> 56:58.855
he went over and he said, I persuaded the

56:58.875 --> 57:02.796
person to give me the guitar. And then I

57:02.836 --> 57:05.177
contacted the police because she had filed

57:05.237 --> 57:07.017
a police report and was like, hi, I have

57:07.037 --> 57:09.098
her guitar. And he actually got to talk to

57:09.138 --> 57:11.279
Lisa Loeb. He was like, so grateful.

57:11.959 --> 57:14.200
Only a place outside of New York with that

57:14.260 --> 57:14.480
work.

57:18.841 --> 57:21.105
I went up to him and I persuaded him. I'm

57:21.125 --> 57:22.668
like, I don't even want to know anymore.

57:25.971 --> 57:29.552
So that is our good news for tonight in Tell

57:29.592 --> 57:33.453
Me Something Good. And we always end the

57:33.513 --> 57:37.055
show. Oh, Katie's got, okay, coming in, coming

57:37.095 --> 57:38.955
in hot with a Tell Me Something Good. Katie

57:38.995 --> 57:41.636
says, one month at my job and I haven't gotten

57:41.676 --> 57:47.118
fired yet. All right, good news. That's great.

57:47.898 --> 57:49.798
Leanne has some good news. She said, I spent

57:49.838 --> 57:52.959
the day being lazy and loved it. Yes, Leanne,

57:53.079 --> 57:53.780
I agree.

57:53.800 --> 57:54.700
That's a good day.

57:55.936 --> 57:58.758
Michelle says, my good news is I am promoted

57:58.778 --> 58:03.822
to assistant producer. This is a title we'll

58:03.842 --> 58:09.627
continue to follow. All right, before we

58:09.647 --> 58:12.709
go, we always end the show with some positive

58:12.749 --> 58:16.472
vibes, bringing you the wonderful pet of

58:16.512 --> 58:20.635
the week. And tonight's pet of the week is

58:20.755 --> 58:26.018
Cooper. Cooper the cat. I know, look at Cooper.

58:26.598 --> 58:31.799
Cooper's mom is Katie and Katie found Cooper

58:32.359 --> 58:35.700
outside her apartment complex. She did all

58:35.720 --> 58:38.040
the right things to try to find his owner.

58:38.060 --> 58:40.661
And a neighbor actually threatened to call

58:40.781 --> 58:42.601
animal control when they found out she was

58:42.681 --> 58:44.722
feeding him on a cold day in November. So

58:44.782 --> 58:46.842
she brought him in the house with her two

58:46.942 --> 58:49.003
other cats, not knowing if it would work

58:49.143 --> 58:51.764
out. And she has done all the work to introduce

58:51.824 --> 58:54.645
them. And Cooper is now loving his sisters.

58:55.085 --> 58:58.087
Katie says the thing she loves most about

58:58.187 --> 59:00.188
Cooper is that when she gets home from work

59:00.529 --> 59:03.631
he cuddles on her chest and he also is getting

59:03.691 --> 59:06.072
closer and closer with his calico sister

59:06.092 --> 59:09.995
Calypso. She also adds he is very vocal when

59:10.015 --> 59:12.336
he wants something and demands breakfast

59:12.737 --> 59:15.879
every morning at 6 a.m. Thank you very much,

59:15.959 --> 59:19.242
Katie, for sharing your pet with us. We would

59:19.262 --> 59:21.064
love to see your pet as well, so make sure

59:21.084 --> 59:23.225
you follow me on Facebook and watch for my

59:23.265 --> 59:25.287
posts to say, hey, it's time, we need a Pet

59:25.307 --> 59:28.550
of the Week. I don't say it in the pen voice,

59:28.590 --> 59:30.972
Brandon, but you can if you want.

59:32.413 --> 59:36.437
Like the Pet of the Week voice? What, you

59:36.477 --> 59:36.737
want it?

59:37.190 --> 59:38.811
Yeah, let's do it. Why does he slightly sound

59:38.831 --> 59:39.071
like Borat?

59:56.672 --> 59:59.314
If that's if that's how your ears here we're

59:59.354 --> 01:00:01.496
all very different people and that's okay

01:00:01.516 --> 01:00:03.537
Brandon, okay, that's how everybody sounds

01:00:13.052 --> 01:00:15.995
All right, a couple of reminders for you

01:00:16.035 --> 01:00:20.218
pet lovers. On a serious note, we have guidance

01:00:20.278 --> 01:00:22.059
for grieving pet lovers will be the next

01:00:22.100 --> 01:00:24.401
topic for the cat conversation. I'm very

01:00:24.461 --> 01:00:27.804
excited that experts Dr. Natalie Oldenstall

01:00:27.904 --> 01:00:31.276
and Jane Rose who is with the Rose Pet Memorial

01:00:31.436 --> 01:00:33.877
Center are going to join me on Saturday.

01:00:33.917 --> 01:00:36.258
So we'll be surrounded by all of the wonderful

01:00:36.318 --> 01:00:39.119
cats. And I've had people, you know, say

01:00:39.179 --> 01:00:42.740
like, hey, I feel weird going like, like,

01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:45.581
look, if you have lost a pet, you know how

01:00:45.641 --> 01:00:47.742
devastating it is and you not need to be

01:00:47.802 --> 01:00:50.264
alone. And if you want to be in an environment

01:00:50.305 --> 01:00:52.267
where you can feel safe to ask questions

01:00:52.407 --> 01:00:54.890
and just know that it's totally normal to

01:00:54.930 --> 01:00:56.372
go through what you're going through, you

01:00:56.412 --> 01:00:59.055
can join us on Saturday, three o'clock at

01:00:59.136 --> 01:01:01.739
