It's getting weird. I'm gonna get real weird with it. Let's get weird. Let's get it? Where? Where? Get? Where? Are you ready to get weird with Hoodie and Eric? I'm ready listening it ready because you're listening to the hundred and seventy first ak the palindrome episode of what Let's get weird?
What's a palin drow? The same thing frontwards and backwards? Oh? One seven one back? You're right technically now because of the seven, but it makes one different seven okay, one seven one? Want some wood. We're surviving. But my name is Hoddy driving, my name is Eric. And you didn't notice this, but I went into crisis mode on that intro and not let it's weird in trope. But that's okay, that's fine, that's
a hot it's a habit. I just figured you're thinking I wasn't paying attention, because you always think I'm not paying attention, but I am, especially when he's excited, like you like cruise our boss. You don't think IM paying attention to those meetings. But just because I look, look, I'm asleep, doesn't mean I'm not hearing him. Now there's a TikTok one of our coworkers made and I think it's about you. Which coworker about me? Yeah, I'm not going to tell who, just in case the system.
Well, if you open up their tic tak, I'm going to see it, we'll hear the audio. I'm going to show you the one. And immediately when she when she posted it, I was like, that's Eric to T. When I confront this person, no good way. I don't think about other people. But uh, okay, so it's p o V. Your meeting takes an unexpected turn. I was like, that's hair T. Not just me though, but in our meeting. It is. Well, in a lot of meetings, a lot of different people. I commented that
on the TikTok. Would you say it's like that's Eric to a G. Did she say anything? Oh dang, that's okay. We're going to ask exactly every week we give you the weird stories from our lives, the globe, the streets, the sheets last week, but especially the sheets, the Internet, the skies above and Uranus And we are excited to kick this one off because we're going awesome con again together, this third one going is it our third one? Yeah? But last year was later in the year,
right, Last year was in June. June. Yes, I was in June. So it's actually fun pandemic right, So it's actually funny. Is they actually had like a cute fact FAQ about it. They're like why like people like, we get why people are complaining. We moved the data around so much it's not like the same month at least is because they have to compete with DC anything in DC to get the convention space because they always want to have it at the Wall three Convention Center. It's massive and OSome Gond
is massive. It takes up like the whole convention. Remember last year we got I got lost multiple of times because I couldn't find the exit. I was like, where do I have to go? It's like one way in, one day out. Baby. Yeah, man, I'm going off these side exits. No, no, no, but this is gonna be a lot of fun. And brother John is coming and found out what my fiorance is coming as well. Yeah, baby, it's our first nerdy convention ever. Oh this is Maura in case you didn't know, that's my name.
I am not bringing Max's here, so I bring in Morris. So there you go, There we go. I'm gonna try to have him stay home that day with my parents or with another family member. But I can't wait because there is a lot going on of people that I want to meet, and I don't nerd out for a lot of celebrities, and I don't get oh, yeah, celebrities, but this year, but this year maybe, I mean, you just went through the just the headliners, the headliners,
and you Texans. I don't know that the guys from Smallville are going to be there. So originally originally was just Michael Rosenbaum who plays Lex Uh, and then they're like, I guess they convinced him to do like a podcast
night that I think Tom Welling was going to zoom in on. But then now Tom Welling's going because they do a podcast talking on Smallville together small Talkers listen to but I should want to probably listen to it because I love that show, Like I really I think you're like I just might I rewatched it so passionately. They're like, I need a break on it a little bit. It's been a year or two since we watched it. I might go back to it because that ted Lasso and another show. I feel like those
are my shows. How you love the Office so much and I can't stand it. You know, you can always just watch it whenever you want. I feel like those are my shows that I can rewatch whenever I want and not feeling bad. Friendly reminder because you don't know what awesome Con is. It's like our comic con here in DC DMV area. I know there's a bunch of going on, but it's like the Big One, Big One, March eight through the tenth. We're probably gonna go on Saturday early in the
morning when it opens up so we can get all our nicknames. Go Friday and Saturday we can. Is that too much? Might be a little? Maybe Friday we go to get our knickknacks, like you and I go to get our nicknacks, and then Saturday we bring more. Brother John comes down and we do would be easier to give all of our nickknacks? Yeah, maybe, creds No, they had to pick it up themselves. That's the
thing. Yeah, yeah, that might be easy. But this year in case he didn't know why we're promoting, because we just found out we got in, so that's why we're talking about it. Yeah. They just announced both a Loqua Cox who's Echo in the MCU, and Charlie Cox, who's Daredevil, both will be there. The big thing, Brother John, everyone's excited for Hayden Christensen aka Anakin Darth Vader himself Yes, Razzario Dawson Ahsoka Yes, and Natasha Leu Bordizo aka live Action Sabine Wren will be there, which
is dope. Uh, here's the thing, Brother John, is he This weekend we hung out, went to photo Challen Richmond. It was great at the family. He was contemplating there's a Lego store in Richmond that they sell the figures for like definitely over retail value and shit ish. But he's like, should I buy a a Soka or Sabine figure and have him sign it? And I was like, well, they used for forty bucks, or you could just buy the set that comes from both of them for seventy dollars
at Target. So you bought the set. Now you're trying to figure out which one he wants to sign it? Wow? Yeah, and then we're trying to get a photo of Hayden. So yes, yes, I'm not gonna get the photo of Hayden. That's okay. I'll support well, I'm gonna support you because your boy is Smallville. So yes, did you get that? Fu? I was like, good job, America did it? Finally, I totally forgot Hayden was in a movie popped up over the week, Jumper. Yeah, Jumper's good. It is good. Why did they
make another one? I don't know. It was kind of the era of like we're trying to do superhero adjacent movies because that is a superhero movie. It's essentially Nightcrawler from X Men with Sam Jackson, and Samuel Jackson's like the villain I'll buy no Nick Fury with the white wig yet on. But the Pussycat Dollar, the pussy Cat Doll's movie. Never saw I never saw it. Smallville Boys, Power Rangers, Breaking Bad cast is gonna be there.
But Eric, here's the thing. Are you going to be paying the prices for these autographs? Because we found out about what they are and all that good stuff. Okay, so so what what? What? How much? To see Tom and Michael, so you can see them. And we've done this where we usually when we go we go to where all the actors are and we see them from afar. But is it getting an autograph or a photo? Ops? Who you want to look at Michael and Tom? So
go to Michael Rosenbaum first, passing already? Oh just wait, I figured do you want to do this? The team up? The team up a photo of the two of them, one fifty that's not bad. That's not bad. That's not that's not bad at all. And then you can either get for ten dollars extra you get a JPEG copy, so they email it to you their pops. Well, so if you want them to sign stuff,
that's different because I want autograph. Oh, additional prints. Oh so you get a print copy of the photo if you want the jpeg is ten dollars extra. And then you could turn that around and be like, I want to get them not autographic. Then you have to pay for that separately. So who do you how much for your for your let's see, let's see Tom Wellings autograph. Sixty bucks for a photo if you want to pop it's I think it's seventy eighty and then let's see Michael Rosenbaum for you do
do do here? You go, uh sixty and sixty or selfie with him if you wanted to do a selfie sixty bucks. No, I want both of them all right now, our boy? You think I think you can get the photo both of them, because they'd be like I got I can bind them. They co existed in the same room, hating our boy. He's the most expensive boy. But you know we're paying that because brother Johnny is putting that there is a team up with a Soca. Oh, it's a trio. There's a trio and just the two of them Anakin and ah
soakaup photo. Oh, we we opted to do. We're doing Hayden because we're like he standing tested time right now. You know Soka is still going on. So Hayden, why wouldn't you do the trio? We'll find out. Hayden's Hayden. You know, Hayden is like your guys, baby, he's our boy baby. Yeah, you guys brought Hayden. We're like,
Hayden's got promise. And we saw a jumper, we saw glass or whatever that movie was about the journalists and then there's the one Takers, Yes, where he's in like a gang or part of the gang with with Bryan Reynolds, Ti, Chris Brown and ins Alba. It's a good movie. But his stuff selling out, so we got a buy we go our photo thing tonight. Who else did we want to look at? Look at Rosario? Rosario by herself is one that's kind of cheap for her, right, that's
kind of normal. I think they just is. But the autograph is wait, team up with Josie and the Pussycats. But she also oh she was in that movie. That's right. I never saw that. Yeah, all right, who else? But like you'll get like last year, Hayden is the most expensive this year, but last year I think, like what about Charlie Cox is not? He's not expensive photo? That's it for him to be the current Darren because remember it's the reboot now, the reboot now,
so he doesn't have a show show coming out. So why more actors are more popular and more expensive. It's because they have something recently came out, or they're a big deal, like Hayden is. Wait, who else is I don't know any of these cartoons coming? What's in it? Orlando or yeah, Orlando Jones, what was what in every Moviesoto forty five dollars?
But what what what sci fi? He's in a bunch of everything. That's because he's also yeah, he's he's Uh, you could Steve Bloom, the voice of Wolverine and the voice of zeb from Star Wars rebels Tara Reid's going to be there. Oh my god, I think you need to get that photo just for you. Oh it's sold it's sold out. You can't how you don't you to pick the time she's there? All three Sponge Meat, SpongeBob for one hundred dollars. I'm good, I'm good. Well, this
is the best thing you can still meet them. But this just gives you guaranteed in autographs, guaranteed we always see it. Yes, there's like a standby line, which is the long line, and now you predid it, which is usually shorter, and they'll tell us when to show up, right, I think, so let's let's just test it. Let's go boom add the cart. I pick what time saturdayday. They'll give you a time to
come by or whatever you have closer to the show. And that's how you can't do this day off right, you could, but he'll probably sell out. Then you have to wait in the lines with everything. But hey, that's the little taste of awesome con We can't wait. March eighth will be there, March ninth will be there. The Saturday, Yes, buying all the knickknacks the Saturday. More is excited because she's never been to a nerdy
convention. So it's a lot of fun and there's a lot it's gonna be like just let me fly more, let me fly, let me go, look at the things I'll dis track more, go go go. Don't buy any food there. It's expensive. Seat outside of it wasn't that bad. I mean if you get like g a pretzel or something. Yeah, but if you get like that like root beer, that's like always like that. No, Like consession stands weren't that bad. They weren't that bad. I
remember because I bought Max Chicken Tend's and something else. What we could do and you've been thinking about this, this would be the best time to do it. What you can get your tattoo. No, they always do tattoos at the convention. They do. There always is a couple. I might get some of their infos this time and be serious about just learning about it. Yeah, and actually talk to the guy the parlors. But no, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get a tattoo there in front of all those
people and then have to sit there for hours. No, I don't want that. That's eric. No, that's too much. A good idea, great idea, And you look at some designs maybe like oh I like that. I don't like their styles at least, so part of me, for this tattoo, first tattoo, kind of want to be a jackass and be like, just tattooed me something. Oh, just random. Yeah, because Nick, our night person who for hot, A lot of the tattoos are random, and I kind of like that. Yeah. But then because I'm
an old man, it's a clown. You're like, I got clown tattoo. I hate clowns. They could do that. Yeah, you're right. I got to think of this a little hard. I think you could go with a genre or like I want a Star Wars tattoo, you pick, whatever you go. It's a jar yarred pink tattoo on you. I mean I wouldn't be mad, you know, but a chewy tattoo. I got all his hair on me. The hair grows through the tattoo. It makes it look like youbaka. I can't do the voice anymore. How was your
weekend, Baby? It was good. It was a lot of fun. I did a little uh Friday night hung out with John, went to this cool spot called the Elkrim in Baltimore. I think you'd appreciate it. Not the cigar lounge because you don't smoke cigar at cigars go, but there's a really cool bur less place next door that was really cool that we should go to. We walked in beautiful establishment, and then we walked over to uh
one Mike's. And then Saturday, I hung out with my friend Jess, and I realized because she was talking about how so much she loves podcasts and I was like, oh, I have a podcast. She's like you do, and I'm like, yeah, you don't see me posted every Tuesday. Every Tuesday, So we've got to do a better job of saying that it's our podcast. It is ours. But you want to know, speaking of
a burlesque show, I found this on TikTok. Oh. God, it seems perfect for me because I've never been to one the Empire strips back of Burle's parody where oh a lot of cities. Okay, I saw it because it was like I think during Comic Con last year they had it going on or something. Oh no, it closes here, I guess is at Toronto. You might be going to Toronto. I'm not go. Do we send this to him? Yes, send that to him because he's gonna be Hey, you should go to this, so get your mind up of things.
I'm just saying that seems like the perfect one for me to go. I've never been to one, you know. Yeah, we should. Definitely we should look into a Burless stuff. It was a lot of fun and it was hanging up. But like I did, we got to do a better job of promoting that this is our podcast. Hey, this is our podcast. You listening right now? Our podca is our podcast posted We're gonna make it. We're gonna be putting our stamp on it and saying power mine.
But I will say this funny thing about Friday night, when I got home from hanging out with John everybody, I stayed up till four o'clock in the morning at almost did the same thing, and I was like, I could stay up late if I wanted to. I had the energy, but I was like, no, we got to keep it. Normally, I got sucked into TikTok. I don't know what it was, TikTok and Instagram videos. Next thing you know, it's four o'clock in the morning. Well,
this is weird. This always happens to me. Is I'm really into a video game. I'll just forget about eating because I'm so like focused in on the game that I'm like, Oh, I don't need to eat a meal. Like Sunday, I didn't eat lunch at all because I was like, I'm fine. What game got of War? Oh? So good? The new the most recent one, well, the twenty eighteen one, the sequel just came out, but we'll play. We're getting to that next, so just beat it. So what am I getting my PS five? Yeah?
When you're getting your PS five? Well, apparently they're supposed to announced a refresh model out this year, so another one like the so the one slim limb which is just smaller, but this is supposed to be like the pro model or whatever, so better everything or whatever. But what did it matter though? Should I just buy the one that's out now you could you should the slim Yeah, I think you should. But should I get the just the the one, the disc or no disc? Right? I mean I
don't use my disc. I have the disc one and the disc external the one terribory card or no. I did and that helped. But you know it's easy for like Christmas this last year, I asked for games and everyone got me the disc. So I just put those disc in when I'll play those? Well, so you do have the disc one? Stand? I have the disc included? Oh my god, I s mr. Yes, m R. I know the A is audio, but you know audio spatial eric spatial something. Mister? Can we get tattoos together? I can't get
one? You can. I'll be disowned by who my grandma grand matriarchy be like, yo, Grandma's is for you? Your Grandma's for you? It's an tattoo, mose, Really, I don't get that. Never seen that movie, don't worry about it. They've seen that. My grandparents have never seen Where're the Millers? Oh no? Why not? Wait? Waitait, no, we have to talk about this because I talked about this on Crisis
yesterday. Okay, so we get the photo to a child. Yeah, on Saturday, and my grandpa is telling us I really get into this show about Robinhood. And I'm like, okay, Like it's on Netflix now, I'm on the fourth season already. And he always says, we failed this city, like you're watching Arrow, aren't you UPU's been watching an Arrow without telling me about it? No, this whole time. And so I'm like,
oh, so what what Like what's the storyline here? And I'm like, well, his best friend's dad is trying is in this secret assassin league like the League of Shadows and Malcolm Merlin and it's like yeah, I'm like, how did you feel about the guy in the hockey mask? You know? I was like that stroke? That was great? How did he? How do you stumble upon it? Though? I think he? I think it was like a recommended on Netflix? Probably Robin Hood. Yeah, he
oh, so modern Robin Hood Arrow. I was like green Arrow and he's like, no, arrow, like green arrow. No, it's called arrow. I mean he was called green arrow on the show, but called arrow. Yeah. Yeah. And then I was like, how do you feel about the flash? He's like, oh, I see he comes in and out he goes so fast I'm like, well, you should watch that next. He's like, I can't. I told him, don't watch him congruently.
You can't do that. Can't be too much for that man. Because then my grandma chimes in and says, oh, he's watching just like soap operas. I hear them all the time, and they're just like my suits. I'm like, now you know how it feels for him. Oh, it's so cute that your grandpa's watching Air of the Aerovers. It's awesome. So gonna watch this before they have they done crossovers yet? No? Right, yes, they did the first Flash crossover. What do you think of
that? He's like, he's cool, but I don't know. I'm like, yeah, gotta watch the show. I was like, just watch it after it'll make sense. And I'm like, so, do we tell him to go watch Legends and then Supergirl and then Superman, Lois and Black. Yeah. Unfortunately it got canceled, which sucked because it had like it needed
one more season I think to wrap everything up. Oh really, because they introduced a Booster Gold, which is a DC hero that they got Donald Faison from Scrubs to play, really popped up in the last episode you're like, oh, snap, that's where we're going. And I got canceled. So Netflix is caught up. Yeah, you said everything on Netflix Aer Versus Dead Mine is Superman Lois and it's final seasons this year. So that's so gory.
Yeah, which is wild because like I don't watch it by like keep up with it and it's like all right once that's end and then DCU abound, which is true because twenty twenty five is when the DCU proper starts with James Gunn. So, oh, you're right, Damn Street. I mean I need to I need to show to watch. I'm watching Ted. Ted show's pretty good. If you're like family guy back in the day, it's pretty much that watch the X Men's show. We're watching. Yeah, but

I don't want to watch it like that. You got bad Batch coming out on Wednesday. I never got to a bet and they got Avatar on Thursday. That I kind of let's see if Max wants to watch it again. Yeah, I watch it, but I have to see if she's gonna like, we'll watch the first episode
and like, do you want to keep watching it? Right? And me? Max just finished the Nickelodeon version version of it, theginal version. What do you mean the original version? The Nickelodeon version is the original version? Is that m night shammeal on movie? So it is not that bad? It is? And then you got next month you have Invincible coming out back, coming back again, and the X Men come out yeah March Yeah, all right, maybe sending that link to the X Men. I got you
