00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 3: a bargain currently sponsor, and it's quite tasty. It tastes

9
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: like I'm drinking like a fruit dessert drink ish, Okay, okay, interesting?

10
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I'm drinking a beer that shall go unnamed.

11
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: But it was has a unicorn on it and a

12
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: rainbow on it, and it was specifically for dragon Con,

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: which is what we're talking about today.

14
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 4: Well no, no, is it your type of your favorite beer?

15
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: No?

16
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: Oh okay, But to clarify, a friend bought me this

17
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: and I was like this for my birthday and I

18
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: was like, this looks like a dragon Con beer, so.

19
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: I saved it.

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: There was actually a beer that was made for dragon

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: Con this year that had the Marriotte Carpet design on it.

22
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: It was called Carpet Beer. I never got to try it. No,

23
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: I did. I did. Oh. I only had a sip though,

24
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: But it was good.

25
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 4: Was it. They had a whole dessert too.

26
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: Yes, they did.

27
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: So for people who are listening and you're like, what

28
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: are you talking about? There are a couple of jokingly

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: named cults of dragon Con, and one of them is

30
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: the cult of the Marriotte Carpets. The Marriott is one

31
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: of the host hotels. All of these things are not

32
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: a sponsor that we're mentioning currently. And they had this really.

33
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 4: Aggressive, very seventies sixties.

34
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, carpet design, and they got rid of it a

35
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, but everybody started to dress like

36
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: the carpet, like you'll see a t rex, but in

37
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: the style of the carpet, and you'll see these two

38
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: dudes I think got sued because they did like body

39
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: suits in the style of the carpet, and that design

40
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: is actually copyrighted. Oh really, yes, I think it all

41
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: got dropped and they don't care anymore, obviously because it's

42
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: everywhere at dragon Con. But yeah, and so they did

43
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: make a beer that was designed after that carpet, and

44
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: now a dessert also, which I did not try.

45
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: I didn't neither I feel like I'm missed out a

46
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 3: little bit. And this carpet has become like Mandalorian thee

47
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 3: like you had Mentorians dressed up in it. I think

48
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: you had like princesses dressed up in it, uh huh

49
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 3: or royalty outphas like oh, like how much money to

50
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: get the specialty customize costumes to that carpet, because it's

51
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: very much This carpet is loved.

52
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 4: It got torn.

53
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: Out and it got re remodeled, and people were upset.

54
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: Well, the new carpet's so planned.

55
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: And the hotel we're talking about. You if you've watched

56
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: any of the Loki and several most sci fi movies

57
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 3: I think are yeah, you'll you'll see this hotel design

58
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 3: and it is insane. It's very very like futuristic. So

59
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: it's it's famous. It is filmed often, but without the carpet.

60
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: Well, the carpet is very striking. Perhaps that's one of

61
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: the reasons they were.

62
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: Like, maybe maybe we need to change this is not great.

63
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: Yes, but yeah, I thought for this happy hour, we

64
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: just do a quick recap because I've been you all

65
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: you listeners, regular listeners. Now Dragon Con, which is a

66
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: convention a very nerdy convention that happens every Labor Day

67
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: weekend in Atlanta. It draws thousands of people usually like

68
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: almost one hundred thousand people, if not more. Just happened.

69
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: I'm still I'm sore, but I feel good. I actually

70
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: feel really good for after Dragon con vibes, I have

71
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: a lot to catch up on. I will say that

72
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: my fan fiction backlog, I don't even want to think

73
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: about it. It's a lot of tabs, and you know

74
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: I hate tabs, so you know I hate tabs. But

75
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: it just happens. Samantha did come for a little bit

76
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: of it. We'll talk about that in a second. And

77
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: it was really good. It was a fun time and

78
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: I got to hang out with your partner and his

79
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: brother who I'd never met. I got to meet the

80
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: boyfriend of one of my best friends who I hadn't

81
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: met yet, and he was super cool.

82
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: It was nice. But the Carpet of the Merry is.

83
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: But one of many of the joking cults of Dragon Gone.

84
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: Another is the FedEx guy. It's a long story, but

85
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: if you have time and interest, you should look it up.

86
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: But essentially, there was this like cardboard cut out of

87
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: this guy and then people just put like a lot

88
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: of googly eyes and random costume things on him, and

89
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: then he got taken away, and then there was.

90
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 4: Like why did he get taken away?

91
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: Because it became so big people were leaving gifts for

92
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: him and stuff.

93
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: Oh, and then got taken away.

94
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: And then it became kind of like a shrine and

95
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: there was somebody with like an accordion that made a

96
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: whole song and was singing about the death of John.

97
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: But now that's the whole thing, yes, yes, But related

98
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: to the Marriott carpet, the Hyatt, which is another host hotel,

99
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: got new carpet and apparently it hadn't seen big crowds yet,

100
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: and now that it has, all of that foot traffic

101
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: made these pots iles a blue fuzz.

102
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: So now there's a cult of the Hiet carpet.

103
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: Dear god, I did see tons of googly eyes on

104
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 3: so many things, including statues and like guess markers that

105
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: are not supposed to have that.

106
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 4: It's like decoration.

107
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:21,559
Speaker 3: Yep.

108
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: The Google eyes are everywhere. I mean, this is like

109
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things. Conventions like this, or when

110
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: just people nerd out so much. Even in the parade,

111
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: there was there's always been the well, always for a

112
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: long time, there's been the cult of Marriott Carpet, but

113
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: now there's the cult of John in the Dragon com Parade,

114
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: which has a huge event in Atlanta.

115
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 2: Yes, I love it. I'm so glad.

116
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: I told told everybody the night before about that so

117
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: they could get it when they sell the parade. So yeah,

118
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: I just wanted to run through some things here. As

119
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: I suspected. I would say, Barbie was one of the

120
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: biggest costumes.

121
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: There was a lot of Hey Barbie, Hey Barbie, Hey Barbie.

122
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: There were a lot of Kins, and I was fortunate

123
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: enough to accidentally witness the Kins coming together and singing

124
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: that Kins song and it was beautiful, memorized.

125
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: It was so good.

126
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: You can actually find video of it on bline. It

127
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: was excellent and I loved it. And they interviewed some

128
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: of the people who were participating, and it made me

129
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: feel better because they were very much like I could tell.

130
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: They weren't the like bros who didn't get it. They

131
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: were the bros who did get it nice.

132
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: I think the bros who didn't get it, I'm guessing

133
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: were the ones that would dress up shirtless. Yes, there

134
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: was a lot of them, which is fine.

135
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 4: You do you. Yeah, you exactly.

136
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: But I think some of those bros who were shirtless

137
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: did get it.

138
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: I think the guys they interviewed, a lot of them

139
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: didn't have the shirt, and I was like, I this

140
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: makes me feel better. But it was like a beautiful, beautiful,

141
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: random nerd moment.

142
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: Which I adore.

143
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: I will say I mentioned I was nervous about going

144
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: to this Star Wars family feud with our friend and colleague,

145
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:26,559
Speaker 1: Callie Fry.

146
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: You did a great job, and you and.

147
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: All of the people who were there were so supportive

148
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: of me, and it was the sweetest thing because I

149
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: was so nervous. I was like, at one point somebody

150
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: who didn't even know me beforehand asked me, are you okay?

151
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: Really?

152
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I was just like silently staring at the floor.

153
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: I was so.

154
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: But it couldn't have been but I have been too well,

155
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: because actually, when we were lining up to go to it,

156
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 3: it was packed to the point They're like, I don't

157
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: think we're going to get in. We barely got in

158
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: and so many people were turned away, but it was

159
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 3: like kind of be hundreds of people lining up. Yeah,

160
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: the fact that we got that ten minutes early and

161
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: we looked around and we're like, wait what And the

162
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: line was so far back, and Holly's partner was with

163
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: us and they were like We were like, oh no,

164
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: we didn't know this was going to be and then

165
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: he got the VIP treatment and screwed it in. We

166
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: none of us got the VIP treatment. But it's okay,

167
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: we have That's true.

168
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: We made it in.

169
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 3: But I would have been nervous too, just the amount

170
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: of people who's waiting to come watch this. I was like,

171
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: what is what's happening?

172
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: Well, I was running kind of behind and I got

173
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: to touch on you and I got to touch from

174
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: Holly and it was like, oh my gosh, this line

175
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: is so long, get here right now. And I like

176
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: one of my very silly things that I like to

177
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: brag about is that I know how to get around

178
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: Dragon Con. I know, like all of the little secrets

179
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: and tips. And I wasn't entirely sure where this room was.

180
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: I thought I knew, but then I'm getting these texts.

181
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh no, what if I'm wrong?

182
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: If I do? And yeah, it was quite the long line. Uh.

183
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: And I of course showed up in my full disco

184
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: luke regalia. Uh, but I think I just having all

185
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: of y'all there cheering me on. It was very sweet

186
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: and I appreciated it a lot.

187
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 2: So.

188
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 3: By the way, at least three of the number ones

189
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: I got, I know, proud, Did I know the real

190
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: names I need? I will say it was partial. Everything

191
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: was partial, I'll take it.

192
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: I saw y'all over there, like jumping and cheering and

193
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,239
Speaker 1: the answers.

194
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: I got the chopper, Yes, I got Phinnick shand even

195
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 3: though I called it me.

196
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: No win, no win character, Yes, but I will take it. Yes,

197
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: that's the one I did. One more. I was like,

198
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 4: I knew it e walks, something about walks.

199
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: I got. I got a couple too.

200
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 4: It was really good.

201
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: There was some answers that didn't make sense because they

202
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 3: were like overlapping, and then they were giving credit to

203
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 3: things that wasn't shouldn't.

204
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 2: Have gotten credit.

205
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: We were all very confused, like Rodent was in there,

206
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: but then like Marsupial wasn't so, Like, how are you

207
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: gonna how are you gonn differentiate this?

208
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: I said, Marsupial And then there were two Marsupials on

209
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: there and they're like it's too vague, and I was like.

210
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 2: Wow, it exactly. I was upset for you, thank you,

211
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: thank you, but it was really nice. I'm glad. I'm

212
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: glad I did it. I had a good time, and

213
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: I felt actually, I felt better about myself. Afterwards. I

214
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: was like, okay, I do know some stuff.

215
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: Okay, and then I wanted to do an update because

216
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: I feel like last year I talked in my post

217
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: drag and con mortem as you might call, I talked

218
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: about boundaries and I was saying like, I'm gonna really

219
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: need to work on this, and the issue was last

220
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: year that I kept going to eat food when I

221
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: was not hungry, and that did not happen this year,

222
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: and I feel like I made some strides. I still

223
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: have some work to do, but I really feel like

224
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, this is what I

225
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: want to do, and you go do what you want

226
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: to do, and unless they were like please go with

227
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: me because it was really important, then I just Okay,

228
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: this is what I want. And so that was really

229
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: nice to kind of settle into that. There's definitely still

230
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: some work that I could do, but it was really

231
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I did make It's like, because this

232
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: happens every year, I can see some progress from the

233
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: last year.

234
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: The first day we got there, the way it was

235
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 3: set up, we didn't eat before we got there, and

236
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, I think I was texting you.

237
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 4: We hadn't we were going to meet up little later.

238
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm very hungry, gonna be nice, nice to

239
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 3: be around, so we're gonna have five foods quickly.

240
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 4: And then old friend Katie was like, yep, we do it.

241
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, we need food asa.

242
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

243
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: But the thing about that though, is I appreciate that too.

244
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: But also that was before the family feud, and I

245
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: was like, no, I need food too. And I didn't

246
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: drink as much as I normally would on that first

247
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: night because I was like, no, I'm going to go

248
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: do this thing like it was nice. These things that

249
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: sound very very basic but for me are kind of

250
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: a pis.

251
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: Well. Also, this place is chaos. Yeah, when we say

252
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 3: it's chaos, I understand that my point of view, everything

253
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 3: is chaos. As the introvert I am, but like literally

254
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: it's hard to hear, and you know, you have hearing problems,

255
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 3: and I'm at this point so like overwhelmed that I

256
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: can't understand what's going on, Like it's constant, over the

257
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 3: top visuals everywhere, like you're seeing so much that you

258
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: can't hear. That's that level on top of the fact

259
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 3: that everybody's trying to get organized or get to somewhere

260
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: or find somebody, or get to something, show off something.

261
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: People are wearing gigantic costumes, including Annie, which I got

262
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 3: hit by a fan quite often standing next to Annie,

263
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: which is so hilarious. I held onto the lightsaber quite

264
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 3: a bit, so you just like held on to other things.

265
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: At some point, I'm like, I'm gonna have to sit down,

266
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 3: and I just sat on the floor of the entryway,

267
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: not the entryway, but like one of the standing lobbies,

268
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, And I was.

269
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 4: Like, I'm sitting down.

270
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: So I looked like a rat in a cage literally,

271
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: like peering through the glass.

272
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 4: Trying to figure out what's going on. But that was

273
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 4: delightful to me.

274
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, like it's it's a lot so trying to

275
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 3: get together to meet people, to make plans, and to

276
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: go to the same location to do an activity which

277
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: includes food, which like if you wanted coffee you had

278
00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: to stand in life for an hour and a half.

279
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: A lot of the places like if you want a drink,

280
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: You're paying forty dollars for a drink, Like it is chaos,

281
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 3: And then jo, how do you think it to like

282
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: your hotel, which we thanks to Annie and her over

283
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: preparedness for all things possible situationship, we got a hotel room,

284
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 3: but it was on the fiftieth floor and try to

285
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: get to there. It's kind of a thing. And apparently

286
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: one of the elevators were like malfunctioning to the point

287
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: that somebody talked about how it dropped two or three floors.

288
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: I was like, what, no, yeah, no, So like all

289
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 3: of these things sound like it's not a big deal,

290
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 3: but you add this type of chaos, it is so

291
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: overwhelming and so easy to like lose everything and have

292
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: the worst time or have like such an upsetting time.

293
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I always want people to have a good time.

294
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to get better at recognizing because I've

295
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: not always been the best at being like, oh, somebody

296
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: needs food or oh somebody to rest, so somebody needs this.

297
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get much better about being like, you

298
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: don't have to do what I'm doing, right, and I

299
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: don't have to do what you're doing.

300
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 3: That's that's The best part is like establishing that at

301
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: the very beginning, and we knew that coming in, so

302
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 3: we had our little crew and we were like, hey,

303
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: where are you or you're doing this. We'll meet up

304
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 3: with you later because we're doing this and then coming

305
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 3: back together and like that's perfect.

306
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

307
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: It does have like a pressure in terms of when

308
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm showing people around, I want them to have a

309
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: really good time, but I'm trying to also get better

310
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: about that about like being like, you know, I'm showing them,

311
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: maybe they don't If they don't like this, they can

312
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: tell me, or if they want to do something else,

313
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: I give options. I'm like, Okay, if you want to

314
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: do this or this or this, this is what I like,

315
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: might not be what you like.

316
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: You're right and overall be an adult like yeah, yeah,

317
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: I mean I understand this is overwhelming and you want

318
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 3: people to help you. I'm that person. So either you're

319
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 3: going to go with the flow of that person or

320
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: you're going to make decisions on your own. Everyone should

321
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 3: like that's the only options that should be available.

322
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, And I think it's I feel sort of

323
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: like the you know, Wise and Dragon con attent. You

324
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: were like here, here's I can give you all of

325
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: the information about how to find stuff. Here's what I think.

326
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: But you're, yeah, you got to do your own thing. Ultimately,

327
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: I think you did.

328
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 4: A good job with that.

329
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 3: So it says my partner and his brother. They said

330
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: that they had a great time and they felt like

331
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 3: they owed you so much because you were hosting so well.

332
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: And I was like, no, she just didn't what she

333
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 3: wanted to do. It invited you along.

334
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 4: Yes, that's what I wanted for all of y'all pretty much.

335
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was really lovely.

336
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: I did get several more people, by several, I mean

337
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: about ten who recognized disco luke love It specifically new.

338
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: I think some of them I think they were from

339
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: well last year.

340
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: Maybe some of them were like, it's this person you're trending.

341
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: Oh I am. Yes.

342
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: I did have a guy who specifically not only knew

343
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: what it was, but was like, tell me how you

344
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: made it.

345
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: I want to make it. I was going into all

346
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 2: the details.

347
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, are you going to have a rifle.

348
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to have a rival be better than me too.

349
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 2: He did look like Mark Hamill.

350
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: I also noticed that this year there was more men

351
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: dressing gender bending dressing as women.

352
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: There was a whole crew that was doing Elea from

353
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: Return of the which I saw. I'm like, that makes

354
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: me happy.

355
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: I feel like it's becoming more of a It already

356
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: was a queer space, but it's becoming queerer. And that

357
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: was one of the few ribbons I got fix in

358
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: part to your partner and his brother chaotic queer. So

359
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: at dragon Con they hand out these ribbons and it's

360
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: sort of this I don't know, kind of scavenger hunt

361
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: esque thing, earn the ribbon esque thing, and I've never

362
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: got one. I've gone to dragon Con for at least

363
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: twelve years now and I've never got one. This is

364
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: the first time. And it said chaotic Queer, and I

365
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: was like, this feels appropriate.

366
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: I heard this. I did have a group.

367
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: There's a group of people dressed as the prisoners from

368
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: and Or and they were going around saying like this

369
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: is the only way, this is the only way. And

370
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: one of them pointed at me and was like, join

371
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: the resistance loop and I.

372
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,239
Speaker 2: That's the happiest I've been.

373
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 4: You know, you know I love it.

374
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 3: Yes, I love getting the text to the many times

375
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 3: that you were recognized.

376
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: I know I has to tell submit that I love

377
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: it so good.

378
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah.

379
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 3: I only went for a couple of days and I

380
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, I'm good, y'all have fun.

381
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 2: It's a lot. When I say it's a lot, like

382
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: it is.

383
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 4: A lot, it's a lot.

384
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 3: The constant noise because it's also a loud with like

385
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: thousands of people, and then they put club music on

386
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 3: top of it. Yeah, that echoes the entire sixty seventy

387
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 3: floor building.

388
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: Yes up, yeah, which is the nice part of Some

389
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: people always kind of laugh at me because I live

390
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: in Atlanta and they're like, why do you get the

391
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: hotel room? And the nice part of the hotel room

392
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: is that you can just kind of retreat for a minute.

393
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: And that's where we did all of.

394
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 4: Our beat There's so much. I didn't get one that

395
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 4: was very sad. I can make you one, Okay.

396
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: We did a lot of beating listeners. It was really fun.

00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 4: I'm not a part of this week.

398

Speaker 1: lot of beads and we made a lot of braces.

401
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: And it was really fun.

402
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: And they were like, I didn't realize you'd get this

403
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: intense about beating, and I was like, I.

404

Speaker 2: Love a craft.

405
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 3: Way.

00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: I'm doing a puzzle and I have that voice that's

409
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: very specific where it's like you don't.

410
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 3: Go there, she does, she talks to it.

411
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 4: Yes, it's quite fast.

412
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: I was doing that with the beads. Yeah, it was

413
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 2: an intense beating.

414
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 3: You did a like your friends did a whole stay

415
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 3: in the hotel day for that. Yeah, they jumped in

416
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 3: a little too strongly on the first day break.

417
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: They certainly did. But the beads were there, they were

418
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: healing there.

419
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: I did also want to say I saw a lot

420
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: of horror this year, a lot more horror than I normally.

421
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 4: This nun is a real big Favorite's a nun.

422
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: And then ghost Face from Scream, Like at one point

423
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: I looked behind me on the escalator and he was

424
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: right behind me.

425
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: I was like, don't panic any It's gonna be okay.

426
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 4: Mike Myers with a bush. Ye had a whole wall.

427
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 2: It was cool.

428
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 3: He had a GoPro in it too, so you could

429
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 3: see grocore people's reactions.

430
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: Yes, and then I guess I wanted to also briefly mention,

431
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: Like from the time I started going to the time now,

432
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,719
Speaker 1: I think there has been a lot of growth in

433
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: terms of respecting, Like it's not cool to just take

434
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: a picture with someone anymore.

435
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: You ask and you wait and see if they say okay.

436
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: So I feel like there's been a lot of progress

437
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: in that. I do feel like it's gotten even more diverse,

438
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: which I talked about recently.

439
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 2: But this year I was like, oh, yeah, this.

440
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there still are Like the first year I went,

441
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: I got these a lot of old dudes hitting on me.

442
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: That happened to be a couple times this year still,

443
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: but they were fine, like ultimately innocuous when I was

444
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: like not interested, but that definitely still happened. And then

445
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: I hate that I even have to think about this,

446
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: but I do.

447
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 2: Every year. I'm just every event like this, I'm so

448
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 2: afraid of gun violence. Every year, I'm like, this might

449
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: be it, this might be it. And when we do.

450
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: These episodes where I'm so excited about it, there's a

451
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: part of me in my mind like, well, people listen

452
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: to this later and be like she didn't know what

453
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: was coming, or like all of those things nothing happens.

454
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: But there was a part where we were in the

455
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: hotel and all these alarms were going off and we

456
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: were all kind of ignoring them, and I was like this,

457
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: I don't know which I hate. I hate, but unfortunately

458
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: that's sort of where we live. But yeah, ultimately it

459
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: was really good and I feel I feel happy about it.

460
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: I feel settled with myself. I'm sore, but I feel settled.

461
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm waiting to see who gets COVID, if anybody in

462
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: our group.

463
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 3: We are talking like everybody's taking tests. Yeah, I was

464
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 3: taking tests. Yeah, first person, I said, who gets COVID,

465
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 3: I'll send them some fun.

466
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

467
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 2: Oh well, then I hope it's me. No talking.

468
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: Well if I get fun, but no, I don't want COVID,

469
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: but I will be surprised if none of us got it. Also,

470
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: the world we live in. Yeah, it was nice. I

471
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,119
