At the same time, he's like, yeah, 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:06.919 what are you doing. I mean he's secretly a New 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.480 Kids fan. No, no, no, absolutely not. He doesn't even 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.320 know their names. He tried to recite their names, and 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:13.479 he thought he and I would get along. 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:13.760 Yeah. 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.640 Yeah, he's like, I know Donnie and then there's a 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:21.360 Wallberg in there, and that's a Joey you know.

I introduced him 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.040 to my friends and then he like, so we went 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:36.840 to blockhead Headquarters, which is like this experience blockheadquarters, blockhead Headquarters. 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.040 I know, no, but really, if you were smart, it 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.720 would have been block headquarters. Like that's just well they 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.159 did say blockhead HQ. Is that better? No, it's better. 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.839 I think I just feel like you could headquarters with 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.240 the word yeah, blockheadquarters. 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.479 Well i'll pass that note.

I'll just adopt that name, okay, 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.840 which is where they have like all their merch There's 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.520 the larger than life sized doll boxes that it's a 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.360 photo opportunity.

Fire secrets 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.160 were free, but you did have to reserve them. So 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.159 my friends and I reserved unless you're Darren. 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.159 Barber, yeah, which case, well, he tried to talk his 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.040 way in and then someone walked out and said, here, 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.880 take my wristband, and so Darren walked in and tried 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.440 to fire.

Oh no, 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:41.160 the entire Blockhead community was blown away. Like the guys 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.079 stepped it up. They put some money into this show. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:50.280 The production value was next level for new kids. Okay, 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.920 so yeah they had like a subway car. That's how 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.080 they that's oh I should okay. If you're going to 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:56.880 the concert and you don't want to be spoiled.
