You're back. I'm bad. I missed you so much. I missed you too, and hopefully I read acause it's Tad's get weird. You're preparing for him to get weird. Thanks, you're gonna get weird. It's getting weird. I'm gonna get real weird with it. That's getting weird. Let's get where? Where getting where? Are you ready to get weird with Hoodie and Eric? I'm ready because listening to the hundred botus say episode of Let's Get

Weird, You're officially back. And I missed you. That's why I didn't do an episode last week, and also because I was tied, you were tired, You're all by yourself last week. I'm sorry, but thank you so much for being a great I need, I need my my back and forth. I right rat to keep this podcast. I say, right, you say, and then you go, can't we close the shaking bake or you could do that shaking bake breaking Bobby baking back? But I'm a magic

man now. Um, Before we get this started, though, I want to say thank you very much for talking to me about The Avatar The Last Airbender on Netflix. It's good. Max is hell Yeah, he is because it's like it came Avatar, Last Airbender. It's the cartoon Nick that was on Nico. Yeah, and probably Paramount or whatever. It's getting a live action show on Netflix. In case you didn't know about it, A Black People confuse it with the Blue People Avatar. This came out came a first.

Yeah, yeah, but how far are you guys? We're on which is season one, season one, I think episode twelve or thirteen. He's the ones like long, but then like because it sets up the world, but then everything pays off in the back of the season. He's like, when you get the Book to Earth, you're gonna love a character. Okay, yeah, but he's he loves it. He loves it. He loves bang. We talked about all the time he's Avatar because he also liked James

Cameron's Avatar. But I don't know why he liked why he liked one and two. I didn't get it, at least with a He kind of sees like a kid and he's like, oh yeah, I get it, and is like fun a little bit older than him is in the show. Yeah yeah, but so thank you for that recommendation. I've been meaning to tell you that that like you got Max hook and I mean because I didn't. I mean I knew about it when I was a kid watching it, Like

I didn't watch it religiously is whatever it popped on. But like Moore and I watch it together in the Pandemic really and like then we watch then you'll

watch Legend of Kora because that's the that's a successor series. So it takes place like fifth I'm not sure, like fifteen twenty years after it's more I think, but after the Avatar one, and it's like everything's evolved, and so it goes from like it's cool to see the change of going from like a more feudal colonialized thing to a like a nineteen twenties like Industrial Revolution era. Well, I want to And I was telling Max about the m Night

shem Milami version of I want to watch that with him. It's not good. It's it's not bad, but I haven't watched this season first before he watches the movie because the movie like sums up everything from that from like what twenty episodes in the one and a half hours, and it's not good. It's two hours long. I think we hate the Blonde Vampire from Twilight.

That's the brother Jaspa who talks about Sulivan Drawl and the Twilight movies. But then all of a sudden, he he doesn't have that anymore because he was a civil war and correct everybody was working for the Confederacy. He was like, oh, I don't know about that new vampire, bad vampire. But yeah, And because then they're gonna do um, they're doing follow up animated movies and stuff eventually on Paramount, so they're gonna do like in between Cora

and ng Cora is the new that the second Avatar? Oh? And then was the girl gar? Yeah? Zuko? Who Zuko? Prince Zuko? Oh yeah, Red Eye Rufio, Rufio voices him. Does it really? American? Dragon? Jake? Long right there? Baby? Oh? Uncle Iiro, it's Uncle Iro, your favorite character? Kind of yeah, he's pretty funny. Get ready for the book two. You're gonna go on an emotional journey with Uncle Iiro. And then they're gonna see the TikTok every time, and every time you see it, you're gonna cry, just like I

do and everyone else who's watched Avatarlas Airbender. But then Netflix is doing the live action adaptation the series. I don't know if it'll be as good because the creators on the show parted ways, but it will probably on the same level as how the One Piece show is about to happen this month. Oh I did see that one. Yeah, that looked a little as funny as someone said would Twitter end before One Piece ended? And One Piece is still

going baby. One Pieces been going on for like twenty years, has it really, Yeah, because it's just like never ending Pirate Adventures and so whereas I feel like Netflix is gonna have like three seasons and that's that's the story. Yeah, why does Netflix do the three season thing? That's it? It's it's I get the profit wise of like, all right, we've soaked up enough. Unless it's a very profitable show, I think everything's usually if

it's a bigger ip, lock it in for three seasons. Like Umbrella Academy has gone the distance. I think it's about to have its fifth and final season, where that was a show that people like, oh it could get canceled at anytime, yeah, whereas Stranger Things has gone out in the sixth season. A bunch of other shows like that. It just depends, Like I think you should leave with Tim Robinson had its third season, so people are like, Oh, what's gonna happen? Netflix, You're gonna cancel it

and then he's gonna go somewhere else? What shoe that I think you should leave with? Tim Robinson? Never seen that the show you played the egg game for last week? That you're good? Sorry, I've gone in a five minute? Did I love it? It's good, It's good and it's um Funko Pops are really nice for it too, because they're like, don't tell me that pretty good. Don't tell me that because you made you crapped

on me trying to buy the one earlier today. Yeah, you gotta buy reasonable ones if you're you guys just got you just got into a whole move fandom, so it makes sense. I'm sorry that it's the ted Lasso exclusive with the Belief signing, but we're done with ted Lasso right now? How are we done with Lass as far as we know until next year when they're a lof of value again when they have a spin off show. So that's

why you buy it now. You could, you could, you could, But that's also they waited too late on that Uncle Pop because that show ended two months ago. But well, I was telling you. The world doesn't know that. We know that because we're so in the know that we're ahead of the curb. Some people don't have seven hours of free time. People do. They're like, what the hell the show? Like the Secret Invasion ones, I think they're released. I knew you didn't like it. Thank

you for telling me you didn't like it. They released the graphic pop like the Super Scull pop, and it's like, nah, I'm okay. One the ending was bad. But usually it's in that habit of here's a new episode or here's a new season, here's the new stuff. Um, what is he? GRAVI spoil alert? Is he with all the all the powers and stuff? Really that doesn't look probably don't it's all green. It doesn't translate well. But usually they also do that with movies, where they'll have

the concept Funko will get the concept art. I know this because I toured Funko and like, talk to the people. Um, they'll get the concept dart, they'll base the first designs on, so which is why you get a lot of ones like I didn't see that in the movie, saying with toys and then the second wave is stuff they couldn't get or was revealed in the movie or show. So you're saying, I'm gonna buy the Dead Last One today? No, I think you're gonna I'm gonna know what, don't

do that? Dar do it to me? Which one? Do you wait? I'm putting Avatar Funko pops in. Do you think you're gonna get the Blue People first? Or the Avatar The Last Airbender People? First? You get? Oh, little bo King Boomy, you got first King Booby? Nah? Yeah, Booby King Boomy. Oh is he the old he's the old man that gets super fit the Earth the Earthbender. I saw that one s that episode with Max. Let's see, let's see we get Prince Zuko. You know he get he gets hot and I got spoiled things. There's

a lot of spoilers in these Funko pops. There you go, that's a good one. Where's that a? How do I buy that one? You buy it on pop figures dot com. You know what Cabbage Man? Have you loved Cabbage Man? Cabbages? Who's cabbage Man? Oh, you'll you'll see every season he pops up. He's great cabbage Man. Then there's a lot of Opa pops. There's actually a an opa I don't want a big

one. No, there's an appa pillow pet for like Ione for Max or something that'd be a good butt bright the present because we thought about getting it for Teddy. Same level. Well, because Teddy has an owl pillow pet that he uses, not on the same the same thing. Okay, one can talk and have a conversation with you. Teddy wear sunglasses? Do you want to see? No, it's okay. So there's apa the big winners a little U how much is it? They'll tell you it was releasing twenty

eighteen. They keep releasing a bunch of I mean, they released a much more because it went to Netflix, and that's where Avatar really took off. Same thing with Spider Verse. They both really took off because of Netflix. And the same thing with Suits right now. Have you've seen that Suits is number one on Netflix? Yeah? That shows so old though, Yeah, it was because everyone's just rediscovering it for the first time. VA Glow in the Dark one, Why no, I want? I want to buy it?

Why can't I buy it? Like I have to go to find it later somewhere else. But speaking of which, since you were gone. How is your vacation good? Sir? My vacation was a lot, a lot, a lot of fun. Max had a great time. I had a great time, and I'm glad that we were able to do it. Him and his mother were gracious enough to go with me on vacation, and I was gracious enough to go with them, and it was great. Now,

best thing you ape and then we'll do the worst things. Oh. The best thing I ate was this fried snapper at this gas station that we went to gas station br just like the gas station taco thing up here, and gave the third So we got to go on an excursion. And the way that his mom did it when she was able to get us like our own guide to take us to the excursions. And we were like, we had three in one day. We're like, we're not gonna do three, Let's

do two. But in between the two, let's get food. So he's like, okay, well, I'm gonna take you where I eat and they literally it's like inside the gas station where you pay and they have everything inside of there. You can buy liquor, you can buy uh little snacks and drinks. And then they started made this red snapper hoodie with this white rice and these pinto beans. They also gave us a side of the like a a steak stew. H honey, the lotzapper right from right, dude.

It was so good and it was like it felt like everybody knew everybody and they all were like you knowing, and they knew our driver, Pablos, so he like they didn't hook it, but like they were like, okay, we got you guys, like you're cool and be now we're speaking Spanish as well, like okay, whatever. But that food was great, So that was awesome. What I didn't like was a lot of the resort um,

a lot of the resort food, which I was very shocked. Kind of basic, yeah, because but I stated at a reu in Cabo that was also family friendly. But this was twelve years ago and the food was really good. But maybe this is just that because there was just so many people. There were so many people. Was July is kind of the down? Well yeah, I think that. But there was a lot There wasn't a lot of Americans, which I appreciated, but there was a lot of

Argentinians. There was a lot of other Dominicans, and there was a lot of other like Latinos and a lot of Europeans too, which I was like, oh wow, that's great, like because you can tell how Americans just act and I get why people hate Americans so much. But like, no, man, it was it was now, this was before, this was before you left. You said you were gonna do this, and you said I should do it too. Tip the person to say no, I didn't.

We didn't have a we didn't have a butler, the concierge or whatever, but we tipped all the bartenders and um all I tipped the one guy asked I had a twenty. I was like, give me ten back. But man's eyes lit the f up. He was like, got you buddy. Oh he took it twenty and didn't give it back. He gave it back to ten, but he was like he was happy. And then every morning we'd have um like a like a sort of waiter at our table to bring us waters and bring his drinks. And every morning we from since the

first morning, he just was our same guy. So he always give us the best table. He had our table ready, we don't have to wait for anybody. He was very prompt with getting us our coffees and drinks, and he kept giving him cash, you know, like here's five bucks each day. He loved it. So but I also realized. I also realized too, that they all pull they all pulled all their tips, yeah, which I was like, ah, you know, I get it, but like, especially if you know someone's like, well, it is all inclusive,

so I don't have to tip you. Someone's probably like that, you know, yeah, but that's a jackass. Yeah. But that way, that guy who got that waiter, who got that person, isn't screwed the whole thing, right, Yeah, which I get they I think they just pulled within their groups of like the lunch and breakfast runch. And then one guy was so hung over one of the waiters because he brought me the wrong coffee and he was telling us that, yeah, that guy had been drinking

all night and was drinking until at five am this morning. This is just so he went hung over, so he just kept drinking hair and the dog. But he brought me the wrong drink and we were like, well, that's fine, it's okay. He looked hurting though he I can tell you're hurting inside. He had at the Reu place at Riu party, which was like their nightclub, and apparently some of the like the staffers will stay in party with the guests, and he apparently just kept going till five am.

This is did yours have a casino or whatever? Yes, and a casino, but as like it's the casinos there aren't as like extravagant as they are here, at least is what I've seen of the one that's at our resort. It's like just really an open room with maybe like a craps in a black check table. I didn't go. I miss that. There's two things

we didn't go check because I were we were there that much. There was like a center of shops called Kaya something, and there was the you know, we didn't want to it because Max wanted to do the water park, which is fine, which also was kind of annoying because they told him we got there at ten, whut open. They let him ride all the do

all the water park things. Then when more people start showing up, they're like, oh, you got to be this height, So they kiboshed him, which wasn't like, but you've seen him do it already, why are we kiboshed him? Was the beach nice clear ass water, the clear as water. But there was all that seaweed but on our beach at Reu. But then we went to the next beach when we took the buggy tour. No, it just depends one what level you're at, probably the hotel,

and then where you're at. But it's not that, it's not that annoying. Yeah. I just step over getting the water and the water was warm. Yeah, it's beautiful. The waves were smooth and sensual, and I loved it. Now, Maura asked me, my fiance asked me to ask you this, how is your transport from the airport to the actual resort. It was fine, Okay, you just like I told you, you got to walk through the airport, walk through all the people that do the time

share things. Go outside. There's a long, long like bar area and each section every couple feet is like the Alamo is an enterprise whatever equivalent exactly, And you just get in that line. You talk to the person, They go, okay, here you go show them your thing. Put I saved all of the things on my phone in my favorites, so it's easier to pull up a lot of them. Green goes head pieces of paper like

a lot of n screenshots. That's all uniqu because all you gotta do is look at your name, look at your number, and they pull it up. Okay, but my mom, and then make sure you have cash immediately so you can tip the guy that's getting you from the airport to the resort, especially if you get stuck with him on the way back, and then you're screwed if you didn't gave my guy. In my head mentally, I

was like, all right, it's uh twelve forty five. He's like, if you can get me to the airport before one thirty, I'll give him nine bucks. It's too late, and I'll give him five bucks. It's weird, like alanas because I was something to do while I was waiting. I'm saying, you're going to put a lot of fives. Fives? Is your key? Just cash in generalman? Yeah, Now you can bring twenties,

they'll they break it for you. But you think one hundred dollars you're spent in tips over that more than that, I mean, I don't know when. Yeah, I mean, yeah, bring bring cash, okay, two hundred dollars, bring cash, cash, four hundred dollars in cash because how are you gonna pay for the freaking excursions? Are you already prepaying those? I use a credit card, but okay, all right, yeah you can do that too. Yeah I get them points, baby Chase. You

can go anywhere, no foreign transaction fee. What about you? What about your week without me? It was you know, we survived, we're thriving. We're here now you're here now, which is great? Hey? Now, hey, now is I are made up? The on the free I heeart radio up you can put in counting crows. I didn't realize the other day when I was driving from Easton back here, there's a lot of bangers they had, so hey, now, no, I was I was thinking

McGuire, there Zoe one or two documentaries or documentary movie? Is trash? Don't launch. I'm too old for that. I know, I know. Um. But then brother, my brother John Hood, uh throughout the first pitch at the Richmond Flying Square Earls this weekend and he did good. It went sideways, but it got across the plate. You know, that's okay? What is he nervous? Like? What was it? So he didn't know because he's like, oh yeah, he knows he's doing the first pitch,

but he didn't know. Like the flying squirrels get like as many people as they can through, so it's like a bunch of birthdays. There's a fan of the game. It was military night, so they had a military person who was the last person to throw out the pitch, and so he was like seventh person in line or something. So it's like he was a five year old or a three year old. He was a ten year old throughout the first pitch and he was like, oh, okay, great,

and then it got to him. And then obviously when it doesn't look far but it is farther than you realize and you don't want to it's ninety feet. Yeah, yeah, something like that, something like that. Yeah, but he did good and funny enough. It was also going to be fireworks night until it rained during America the Beautiful And I don't care how patriotic you are, you ain't stanning out there when it's hailing on for your country.
