  Speaker 3: but I want to see it in theaters because they usually

  Speaker 3: want to keep them in there that long.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I think Spidy will hang around for a minute, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I think this one will too.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Spider Man's gonna make some money for some people I heard.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Don't see it in four MAX, though, the ones that
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: are shaking it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: These people said they'd leave it in the first thirty
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: minutes of it because of how bad it got.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Heard about these I did hear that there was a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: lot of the fight scenes especially, were kind of overly loud.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I kind of want to see it in the shaky
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: seats because as.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: They sprayed water on you in the first ten minutes
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: of the movie and then they made it then it
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: gets cold in there because you go winter your damp
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: cold and getting thrown around.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: That's an experience. As an only child, my imagination is
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: developed enough that I don't need all these artificial, you know, inputs,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: these these four D things.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: It's a little too much, little too much, all right, Well,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: let me give you the other side of it, because
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: there's the four D screenings and then there's again I
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: don't understand the seventy millimeter IMAX screenings. You wear this
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: is like, hey, there's only so many theaters that have
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: seventy millimeter IMAX capacity to begin with, but they shot
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: the whole thing to be shown on seventy millimeter Imax.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: So in theory, the way you're supposed to see the
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: movie is in one of these seventy millimeter IMAX theaters.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, whatever, how.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Much do you think tickets are going for in these?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I think that.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Keep mine regular movie theater, y'all. Yeah, just a regular
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: movie theater. There's one in Houston, there's one in Austin,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: maybe a couple in Houston, but there go. The tickets
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: go very fast and you have to buy them on
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: the secondary market. That's where we're going. Wow, So I
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: don't care to watch that movie. Yeah, for Odyssey now
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: again in this theater, Like you can go find tickets
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: in the Odyssey for ten bucks, fifteen bucks, but to
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: see it in seventy millimeters imax, some tickets are listed
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: as high as two thousand dollars a ticket two thousand dollars.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: There's only thirty four theaters in the US and Canada
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: that can actually show that version. So again, yeah, you gotta.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: You know who you know who I want to be
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: this summer, Tom Holland or John Burtenthal, God Lord Maketh
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: in both Spider Man and the Odicite.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I know that it's like the in both Yo.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: And she's in like two other movies she has, Like
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: she's got four movies coming out this summer.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: She stopped all of Sandea is everywhere you can't she
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: moves quite. Yeah, she just shows up in these things
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: like she's in Dune. Whenever those come out. She makes
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: a billion off of those. Just had the HBO show
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: made her Like, I imagine I must have paid her
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: for that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I think after this summer it would be time to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: retire to the ranch. So I was one of those people.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: If you are a person who pays two thousand dollars
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: for a seat in the Odyssey.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Like just if they better come with meeting the Dane
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: cast at this point, I just spending money on that.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Is this a first date or.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: It wud be a not happening? Ever, Oh, you.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't take the tickets. Somebody said, hey, I got a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: couple of I'm got a couple of two grand tickets
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I picked up for our first date. To go see
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the Odyssey.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: That's a I'm sorry you're wasting money.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: That's yeah, that says to me.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I raised right right there, Riley, But would.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: You take a pee break in that environment?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, we talked about the fact that the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Odyssey was so long that people you know, had to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: you brought up the suggestion.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: They had suggested, suggested p times when you sleee come
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: on right or intermission insion.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking again.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to put you in the perspective of someone
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: who just spent a crazy amount of money to experience
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: an event, and then like, if you're at that event,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: that possibly ratchets things up in your head to the
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: point where you are no longer willing to leave where
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: you are when you need to visit the facilities. Because
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: this has become an increasing problem in concerts around.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: The nation, not just about the Odyssey.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Around the nation, people are having to tell concert goers
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: go to the bathroom, don't wear a diaper, don't bring
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: a jug, and the latest is lollapalooza. The law of
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: palooza pe bag has made live music fans really uncomfortable.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: So what this is is people on the front line
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: for the very front.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: You gotta when the general admission gun goes on. Yeah,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: it just happens in a c l You got to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: run for that if you want to right there on
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the rail.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Camp out there for the entire day. So what people
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: started doing was filling up bags and jars with their
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: you know, their their stuff, and then they put it
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: in a box and then they send it backwards through
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: the crowd, surfeit backwards.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: NOL is not happy about this. That's a bridge too far.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: They say, put in different places.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: You can't have a porta potty right there on the rail.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I think you should on the sides. You can't. Absolutely.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: First of all, I'm not going to any of these shows,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and if somebody gets excrement on me, there's gonna be
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a riot, all right. Them's them's fighting work.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: This is why I don't understand. I don't understand going
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: to festivals. We were going to music festivals. I mean
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I went to the tour back when I was in.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it's a it's a young person's game. But
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the festival scene I.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Would never like, I like watch the videos of these
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: things like that is too many humans.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody's like, oh, woodstuck was great.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: No, not really, No, breen A Carpenter, What did she
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: just do here?
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Recently?
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: Coachell?
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the people there, it was why on a heck
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: of a show.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: But I guarantee you there were pea bags and bought
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: for Coachell, no doubt my speaking of pea bags and whatnot.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Fun fact, here there are ninety six bags of poop,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: pee and vomit on the moon. Why astronauts from the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Apollo missions they left them there to reduce the weight
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: so they could bring back moon rocks.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Do you know what that makes? That actually makes me
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: feel better. It makes me feel better. And here's why.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Because the other story about the Moon that's out is
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: we lost track of an old Elon Musk rocket. It
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: just kind of went up and never came down. And
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: then they found it and it's gonna hit the Moon at.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Like I don't know anything about this, so I'll find this.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: We can get more into it in a bit, but
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: basically it's going to hit the Moon at like twice
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: the speed of sound. It's going to leave a visible crater.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: And I read that and I was sad. I was like,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: what are we doing? We can't like why are we
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: we're accidentally striking the moon nowadays? Like that's sad to me,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: But when you mentioned that, yeah, that's just what we do.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: That's what we do the moon. Like, he's not going
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to mess up a way? Can we all sue him
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: for moon? Because nobody owns nobody owns the moon yet.
