02:30.964 --> 02:32.744

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

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

06:24.708 --> 06:27.909

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

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

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

53:06.951 --> 53:10.053
Uh, when you know the answer, please raise
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.
53:26.565 --> 53:31.706

53:32.046 --> 53:35.668
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
