- 0:16Yay on the back. Beautiful Thursday morning,
- 0:19evening or night? Depends on what time you are
- 0:21listening to it, yeah. I would like to formally
- 0:23apologize for the many audio issues that we dealt with last
- 0:28weekend. The I tried to do like surgery
- 0:31on the laptop that we used the first couple times where it
- 0:34sounded so crispy I couldn't figure it out.
- 0:37Every time I plugged in like a microphone and I changed all my
- 0:39settings, it sounded like we were talking through a 10 Ken.
- 0:43All because you wanted to download Flappy Bird.
- 0:45Stop. I just wanted to relive the It's
- 0:47never the choice of my youth. It's.
- 0:49Never going to be the same. Those are all viruses.
- 0:52So we again we're recording on my other computer but a second
- 0:56issue came up which is a weird echoing me and Jerry are like a
- 1:00whole like room away. You know that one painting of
- 1:03I'm gonna butcher it. I'm sorry for the art.
- 1:06Oh my God. Yes, it's.
- 1:07God and. Some Angel they're on a they're
- 1:10on like couches. Yeah, and they try to touch
- 1:11your. Fingers, just like we're doing
- 1:13it right now. That's how we are right now.
- 1:14That's how far we are. Can you touch me?
- 1:17He touched my tip. Scent.
- 1:19He touched my tip, my fingertip. This is AE.
- 1:24For everyone. So no, it's not.
- 1:26It is labeled as explicit, not. Everyone.
- 1:30No, it's rated E for explicit so I apologize for audio issues.
- 1:37Hopefully this time we don't have any kind of like echoing.
- 1:41Like I said, me and Jerry are very far away.
- 1:43We sound great, I hope we do. We have the face for podcasts.
- 1:47Oh absolutely, absolutely. We have the face for podcast and
- 1:50the Bodies the. Bodies can't forget the bodies.
- 1:53What did we say we were going to do this week, Jerry?
- 1:55So today I know you've been eagerly waiting, sitting at the
- 1:59edge of your seats all week for this paranormal and alien
- 2:06podcast. Guess what?
- 2:09You're not getting it. You're not getting it OK.
- 2:12Listen, we have these grand ideas that we would love to, we
- 2:16would love to present you guys and we want to do that with full
- 2:19authenticity and really give our all to it that I think we we
- 2:24need to owe it to them better plan that type of podcast.
- 2:28So that does mean we want to do like full research and present
- 2:32you guys like like a audio essay.
- 2:35Yes and and Brian and I will deep dive, come prepared with
- 2:39the work cited MLAAPA. Whatever you want, whatever you
- 2:42tell us we will do. But y'all deserve that.
- 2:44So we did not feel like this episode was going to be it.
- 2:48No. But.
- 2:50We did do something fun. We did do something fun and this
- 2:53is what this episode is going to be about, Brian.
- 2:56This last Sunday we went to the Ren Fair.
- 3:00The Renaissance. The Renaissance Fair.
- 3:02We were pleasured at the Renaissance Fair.
- 3:05The Renaissance Pleasure Fair. I don't know what you guys know
- 3:09about Irwindale. I don't know much other than
- 3:12that it is the home of the Renaissance Fair.
- 3:16Founded in 1734. Irwindale.
- 3:20This is why we can't do the Alien and Ghost episode yet,
- 3:23because we're just lying. It is up to them to, you know,
- 3:27cite our OR to check our sources.
- 3:29And yeah, that's not on us. It's media literacy, exactly.
- 3:32We can't teach you that. No, we refuse.
- 3:34No. I learned it.
- 3:35You got to learn it on your own. Exactly.
- 3:37I'm I'm just a messenger. You can't trust those.
- 3:39Just any meme you find online. Nope.
- 3:41Oh weird sidebar, but have you been a part of the Italian Brain
- 3:47raw on TikTok? Well, considering I'm Italian
- 3:50myself, I haven't. Maybe because I'm maybe because
- 3:54I'm Italian. Yeah, maybe it's just it's just
- 3:56normal to you 2. Percent so you.
- 3:59You don't know anything about ballerina cappuccina.
- 4:01Oh, no, yeah, of course I do. Yeah, You know, I know
- 4:04secondhand. OK yes, Yes, I do.
- 4:12Dulce showed me those and they were on my, they were on my feed
- 4:15for a bit, but she was the one that introduced me to them
- 4:17because I think she got them first because.
- 4:19She has brain rock because. She's Oh yeah, and she's not
- 4:22Italian. Oh.
- 4:23Yeah, makes sense. Just like my Nonna used to tell
- 4:25me, don't look at the brain rock.
- 4:27No media literacy. You've got to believe.
- 4:29You've got to find the sources. You come to me with these facts
- 4:34and can't provide the sources. Can't provide the sources.
- 4:37It kind of veered into like some New York.
- 4:40OK. Anyways, I actually have a side
- 4:42a side comment to that. Oh I am getting a bunch because
- 4:45I do not have YouTube Premium. I'm not going to pay for fucking
- 4:47no ads. I get and TikTok those stupid
- 4:52ads for this little games where you're like battling people like
- 4:56they're trying to infiltrate your Kingdom and you're setting
- 4:58up a perimeter. Yeah, and they keep shooting at
- 5:00the people that are coming 00, but they keep missing their
- 5:02shots on purpose to like tell you like to make you download
- 5:05the game just like, oh, I can totally do that better.
- 5:07It's great strategy for you to download those games.
- 5:10But the last one I saw was like, Oh no, the Red Gooner squad is
- 5:14coming. They're trying to edge.
- 5:16It was crazy. And I was like, bro, what is
- 5:19this ad? Like who greenlit this freaking
- 5:22ad? I'm going to show you.
- 5:23That's really funny. And I downloaded the game and
- 5:26it's. Just see what it meant and it's.
- 5:27Great. No, I didn't.
- 5:28Know Jerry downloaded it. He wanted to know what the
- 5:30gooning was all about. But did not download the game.
- 5:31I'm just kidding, guys. That's.
- 5:33Really funny because on a separate app that will not get
- 5:36free promo for me I didn't. See the name of the game.
- 5:40No, no. Now I'm not going to say the
- 5:41name of the game, but like there's an app some people used
- 5:44to meet other people. It's like Christian Mingle.
- 5:46Yes, yes, you get ads that literally are like puzzle games
- 5:50where it is so obvious what you have to do and like the person
- 5:55doing it, like the imaginary finger on the screen is just
- 5:57doing it wrong on purpose. So I know what.
- 6:00It means click bait. It's it's perfect.
- 6:01It's rage bait. Rage bait rage.
- 6:03Bait and Italian brain rot. But they didn't like a Pucci man
- 6:08anyways anyways anyways. Before we talk about our our
- 6:12weekend at the Renaissance Faire, I mean, it was just one
- 6:14day, unfortunately, unfortunately only one day.

- 10:45No, no, no, not. You may get that.
- 10:48So many people I know had spent time in Santa Barbara and no one
- 10:50wants to take me. I could have sworn I asked if
- 10:52you were. If you were, I didn't think you
- 10:54were down. Like for realsies dude.
- 10:56You see my socks? How down?
- 10:58How down do I look? I mean, they're at your ankles
- 11:01today, so. Not not long socks.
- 11:03But not down. But you know who is?
- 11:07You see you're down, but you didn't go.
- 11:09I had long socks on Saturday. I'll.
- 11:11Tell you I would be down actually, what time do you guys
- 11:13get? Back we did.
- 11:15We had a three hour commute back.
- 11:17Nope. We got back at 7:00.
- 11:19You guys would have just dealt with me snoring in the back.
- 11:21That's fine. That's fine.
- 11:24Once I've done I'm done. Like the older I get the my
- 11:27social battery just gets smaller and then that's it.
- 11:31I'm tired. You know what else gets smaller?
- 11:35Why my patients? What did you do on Saturday?
- 11:41Saturday I I just did some like homebody stuff.
- 11:44Saturday was actually national guarding the International world
- 11:48Gardening Day. Interesting.
- 11:51Which is why, as I told you when you walked in, that I re potted
- 11:54one of my monsters and they look great.
- 11:55Or MY1 monstera, which had four individual plants in it.
- 11:59I've been meaning for the longest time to separate them,
- 12:03which was hard dude. It was like I was doing like
- 12:05dejoining surgery. Doctor, Doctor, please help.
- 12:11So I on a whim like went out that morning, I went to Walmart.
- 12:14I got an indoor like potting station, which is like kind of
- 12:19like a tarp that has clips on the corner.
- 12:20So it like creates kind of like a box kind of thing.
- 12:25And then I just went at it. I repotted that.
- 12:28But while I was doing it, I kept kept watching Arcane.
- 12:32Oh, it's how do you like it? How do you like it?
- 12:34I got to the episode we're we were at D&D for two days last
- 12:38week. We did D&D Thursday, Friday, 10
- 12:39out of 10. But I mentioned it to Frenchie
- 12:42like, Oh yeah, I finally started it like episode 1 was so good.
- 12:46And she's like, oh, wait until episode 3, do you?
- 12:48Remember what I said? I was like, I love those kids.
- 12:50Those kids are so wholesome. Well, they don't last long.
- 12:54What do you mean? I don't know, I don't spoilers
- 12:56Fast forward if you. Haven't watched like K now.
- 12:58Fast forward 15 seconds in episode 3, literally they all
- 13:01die because the blue haired girl kills them accidentally, which
- 13:05was so sad, but the way she threw her little tantrum.
- 13:11I'm sorry I don't like you. I don't know where the rest of
- 13:15this show's going to go. I stopped.
- 13:17Literally I paused it after that.
- 13:19It was a lot. Because I said I I can't, I
- 13:21don't. She pissed me off and then
- 13:25there's that little scene or like during all of that where
- 13:28the pink haired girl, I don't know their names, pink haired
- 13:30girl slapped her or like pushes her away like down girl.
- 13:34Not to be like rude, but deserved.
- 13:38The siblings right Powder and. Oh, they're siblings.
- 13:42I thought they were like adopted siblings, not real because she
- 13:44says, oh, that's not my sister anymore.
- 13:46I thought they were like adopted siblings.
- 13:48Like all of them were like adopted family.
- 13:50Yeah, I, I mean they, they were taken in by what's his name the.
- 13:54Hot guy guy, the hot muscle guy, the bartender.
- 13:58Yeah, what's his? Name not important.
- 14:00Not important, guys, not important.
- 14:03This show's amazing, keep watching.
- 14:04If you haven't watched Arcane please watch it.
- 14:06It is so good. The art is so good, the
- 14:08animation is amazing. 10 out of 10 show.
- 14:10It is. I like the, the music is really
- 14:12good, like the opening song, the music they have in the
- 14:14background. I started with Andrew and just
- 14:18randomly because we didn't know what to put on after because it
- 14:20came over last week. Yeah.
- 14:23And I was hooked. We literally did not talk
- 14:26because I was there just like obsessed with what was
- 14:28happening. It was so cool.
- 14:29Too good. It's so good show.
- 14:31My favorite thing so far is those two guys, Victor and I
- 14:34don't remember his other name because he gets banished and
- 14:37he's like, oh, you can't come back here.
- 14:40And then Victor's like, no, we're going back.
- 14:42Yeah, we're finishing your research, and it works.
- 14:44OK. Sorry, still spoiler, spoiler,
- 14:46spoiler. That's all he did this week.
- 14:49That was the only highlight was DND for two days.
- 14:51And my plants. And then finally, the
- 14:56Renaissance pleasure we found. Ourselves going to the
- 14:59Renaissance Pleasure Fair. Folks, if you get the chance to
- 15:05go to a Renaissance fair, please go.
- 15:06But before you go, we have a couple things you should know.
- 15:11Oh yes, wear comfortable shoes. Yes, because it's literally just
- 15:17a field up near the Santa Fe Dam.
- 15:20There's a little bit of cement walkway parts of it, but most of
- 15:24it is just like uneven ground. So I luckily went in boots, but
- 15:28you're stomping around and it was raining kind of on and.
- 15:31Off it was, it was so nice though.
- 15:33It was, it set the theme. I felt like I was back in
- 15:37medieval times and I was catching the plague or
- 15:40something, you know? It did like the vibes were, as
- 15:43kids say, Immaculate because there was like puddles of mud.
- 15:47I bet you they had puddles of mud in the Renaissance.
- 15:50They like all the time. They invented those back then,
- 15:52yeah. You there was these those guys
- 15:55playing in the mud like fully. They're like elbow deep in mud.
- 15:58I saw this video on TikTok because obviously I'm getting
- 16:00all the Renaissance fair tik Toks.
- 16:03It was somewhere in somewhere in another state, but they were
- 16:06just getting mud and like throwing it at each other,
- 16:08having a mud a fight. No, I I crossed the line at
- 16:11that. Yeah, OK.
- 16:12But importantly, yes, where where comfortable shoes.
- 16:18If you're in a long skirt, you probably just wear your sneakers
- 16:20as long as no one can see. I wore my docs.
- 16:22Jerry wore the docs. Mm, hmm, mm, hmm.
- 16:25Those there were some boots, but that's the most important thing
- 16:28And also by the VIP parking if you're going to the Irwin deal
- 16:33one it's $12.00, which is an extra $12.00 on top of just the
- 16:37fee to enter the. Park, yeah, but you're right
- 16:39there. But.
- 16:40Yeah, you're right up there. Didn't have to fight for
- 16:42parking. If you're you have a spot
- 16:44guaranteed in the lot, regardless of what time you show
- 16:46up, that is like that is a must because we walked past the
- 16:50regular parking and that was a sea of cars and.
- 16:53It and it kept going like when we turned in those other cars
- 16:56kept going straight, which means they get to park way the fuck
- 16:59over. There, No.
- 17:00I'd rather save my steps for inside.
- 17:02Yeah, second tip or third tip, you tell them. 3rd tip dress up.
- 17:10Oh please. Was that the tip you were
- 17:12talking? About I was thinking about it
- 17:13but I don't know if Phil's. Gonna be dress up.
- 17:14You're going to the Renaissance. Don't show up in your Vans.
- 17:18And oh, I mean maybe Vans if you're have a skirt like you
- 17:20mentioned, but don't go in jeans.
- 17:22I went in jeans. Don't go in shorts.
- 17:24Yeah, really like plan ahead, don't just throw something
- 17:28together last minute you're. Your your billabong hoodie with
- 17:32your snapback. Granted, like 98% of the people
- 17:37who went are in costume of some kind of costume, and there's a
- 17:40there's a big spectrum. Immerse yourself.
- 17:43Yeah, you have. You see everything.
- 17:44Everyone. Be whoever you want to be.
- 17:47Yeah. It was rats.
- 17:49Little rat boys. Rat hunters.
- 17:51Rat hunters. There was Knights, Wizards,
- 17:55warlocks, goblins, peasants, the queen.
- 18:00The Queen was there. Yeah.
- 18:03I want to ask you a question, OK, if we're getting down into
- 18:08the into the meat and potatoes, do you have any favorite
- 18:11outfits? I I don't, I don't want to
- 18:19inflate his ego, but I really like Jerry's outfit.
- 18:22He wore this like green. I'm blessing.
- 18:24Vest type thing. I I was impressed.
- 18:27I am I kind of the vestment you can borrow whenever you want.
- 18:31I think I will take a look on that.
- 18:34You have something I want. OK, but ask her favorite
- 18:36outfits. Lisa took a picture with her.
- 18:41There was a girl dressed as like a crystal fairy.
- 18:44Crazy. Makeup, crazy makeup.
- 18:46She had these really pretty wings and like everything she
- 18:48wore was just like dangled jewels.
- 18:52It was like also she's so brave because it was cold and she was
- 18:55like practically in like a bikini, but that that was really
- 18:58good. Oh my God.
- 19:00And there there there was two guys.
- 19:03We saw them at several times dressed like they were dressed
- 19:07like a Knights, but they're elephants were made out of beer
- 19:12cartoons. Yep.
- 19:13So there was like the Modelo Knight and then Sir Modelo, Sir
- 19:17Modelo and then right after was the the big quit.
- 19:20Yep, both I'd bow to because those are Lord those are lieges.
- 19:26I know, but who would you give your legion, Sir?
- 19:28Banquet. I'll fight for Sir Banquet.
- 19:31So I'll ride at the battle with him.
- 19:32That was really funny and we saw them like not long after each
- 19:35other. Nope.
- 19:35One was coming out of the porta potties.
- 19:37He came in, we went out. The other guy was walking past
- 19:40wherever we were at. Yeah, yeah, amazing.
- 19:42Amazing. That's why you can be whoever
- 19:44you want to be. I just put a little bit of
- 19:46effort and you're you're going to have a blast and you're it'll
- 19:50add to just to the overall experience.
- 19:53Who was your favorite outfit? The guy decked out in like full
- 19:57knight armor? Oh.
- 19:58My. God like just head to toe, had
- 20:00the shield metal, had the steel sword, had the steel chest
- 20:04plate, gauntlets, everything. That is what I aspire to be in
- 20:10future red affairs. I want to be a knight if I
- 20:14could, and I will because I will do it.
- 20:18I want to cosplay a clean rot night from Elden Ring.
- 20:21I'm. Going to Google that.
- 20:23Google what that looks like. If if Google it, everyone take
- 20:25two minutes to go to two minutes, 2 seconds if you're
- 20:28driving still Google it. I'm just kidding.
- 20:30I'll do that. Don't do that.
- 20:32Yeah, it's great. They just look super cool.
- 20:36But that's what I want to go. That's what I would.
- 20:38I would want to go as Whoa. That's so pointy.
- 20:43They're gnarly. I like their Cape.
- 20:45I am the Elden Elden Lord. Oh is this the also one with
- 20:49that big like cyclic? Concept there, yes, yes, there's
- 20:51different ones that have different weapons but that.
- 20:52'D be. Cool.
- 20:53Yeah, they're fucking cool. I was telling they would say
- 20:56that we could really just we need to like sit down and
- 21:00practice our DIY like crafting because most what everyone had
- 21:04was like you could tell it was homemade but homemade with
- 21:07effort. Yeah, for sure it was.
- 21:08It looked really nice and obviously all the sellers that
- 21:10are selling things that you could buy, they're really pricey
- 21:13and I mean support small businesses.
- 21:14Yes, but tip #4 bring cash with. You cash.
- 21:18Thank you. The a lot of the little shops
- 21:21because people set up their tents, tents.
- 21:23It's kind of like the swap meet if you've ever been to the swap
- 21:24meet, but they sell like everything is like handmade,
- 21:28artisanal, but only like some of the bigger.
- 21:33Actually most of them took like some sort of digital payment
- 21:37like Zelle or or they took tap but for food and drinks
- 21:41everything was cash only. That's valid.
- 21:44So I suggest you take like a good like 60 bucks.
- 21:49Yeah, if you want to get like a food, drinks, cash, Yeah, bring
- 21:53the cash. 'Cause I think the cheapest
- 21:54alcohol was like $14.00 but most everything they offered you was
- 21:58like a tall can. Save yourself to $5 fucking ATM
- 22:01fee. Oh, I know.
- 22:02We had to do that twice. Yeah, and the lens are long for
- 22:05the ATM depending on which one you're at.
- 22:07They were that. That's a really good tip.
- 22:09Yes, bring cash. If you remember, bring cash with
- 22:12you. And if you can splurge, they
- 22:14have so many cool things. They did.
- 22:18Before we move on to the second thing, there was a second outfit
- 22:22that I saw repeated, which makes sense given like the vibes of
- 22:28the Renaissance fair, but there was so many Shreks.
- 22:30Yeah, there was a lot of Shreks Farquaad.
- 22:32There was a farquaad. There was a girl dressed as Mona
- 22:34Lisa. Great.
- 22:35Like she was in a box to resemble a frame, and she was
- 22:38just, like, hand painted. That was 10 out of 10, Yeah.
- 22:41It's people ideas. Great.
- 22:44Do you wish you saw more of something?
- 22:50More of something. For me it was goblins.
- 22:54I wish I saw more goblins. Dude that would have been cool.
- 22:56This up up to no good. Goblins.
- 22:59Yeah, I wish I just saw more of them.
- 23:01Because like, most people, yeah, granted, like 98% of people were
- 23:04in a costume, but maybe 35% of those was guys running around in
- 23:08like an Amazon peasant shirt. Yeah.
- 23:11So like more creativity and like people dressing as like a
- 23:13specific. I mean, we're D&D fans now, so
- 23:16we think of Renfair as like people dressing up as like D&D
- 23:19characters in different classes. So that's what we did.
- 23:22We went like dressed to our our first campaigns class.
- 23:26I went dressed as a rogue so I had mine but bunch of leather
- 23:29and and belts and stuff. And what else I.
- 23:32Wear a wig. A wig.
- 23:35Alexa said, oh, now you can tell them that you are a wig because
- 23:37Jerry in the first episode asked.
- 23:39Do you wear wigs, Alexa? Yes he does.
- 23:42I. Do I wear wigs and I wear them
- 23:44to the Ren fair? How many?
- 23:45How long was it? It's not a long wig.
- 23:47I think it's like a 22 inch wig. I need like a 50 inch it.
- 23:51Was like 18. It was.
- 23:52You could tell. No kidding.
- 23:54It wasn't long enough. Not long enough, no.
- 23:57Exactly, but it goes down on my. Butt.
- 24:00Extensions Horsehair. I went as an elf.
- 24:07I wanted to go as my first character which was a druid but
- 24:11I just couldn't find things last minute so I ended up tweaking it
- 24:14to look more like a Ranger. So I got like this green vest.
- 24:17I did have an Amazon shirt that I bought like a year ago for our
- 24:20first. But it was a nicer quality than
- 24:22what like a lot of people were wearing I.
- 24:24Love that shirt I wear. Shirt.
- 24:25I saw the same shirt in different colors.
- 24:26Yeah, yeah, No, I love that shirt.
- 24:28It's Gray. It's got like the little strings
- 24:30on the wrists and everything. And then I wore like the
- 24:32leather. The bracers.
- 24:35Bracers with the leather shoulder pads, which is very
- 24:38Ranger, you know? Yeah, Ranger armor.
- 24:40Leather armor. That's something we would, I
- 24:42would like to prepare for next time 'cause you can buy like
- 24:46weapons and stuff there and we'll like talk about some stuff
- 24:48that we saw that we were interested in.
- 24:50Yes, but people come with like their own swords, their own like
- 24:54makeshift, like fake prop weapons and just like props.
- 24:58That's what I wish I brought props.
- 25:00So for those that have been dying to ask a question, yes,
- 25:02you can bring your own weapons if they are sheathed and.
- 25:06They're like a zip tied shot. Yeah, you'll, you'll, you'll get
- 25:08a zip tie to close them up to avoid any confrontation in
- 25:12future problems for them. But.
- 25:14You're not allowed to joust. No, only the professionals.
- 25:18Nope, you cannot. I tried kicked out.
- 25:22They said get out of the ring. I jumped back in.
- 25:24You know, it wasn't that hard. They said whose son is this?
- 25:26Whose kid is this? Whose fucking kid is this?
- 25:28And. Then we had to take him out of
- 25:29the Renaissance jail. That's worse than Coachella
- 25:32jail. I rolled.
- 25:33Well, yeah. Oh, that's it.
- 25:35OK. We also brought dice.
- 25:37Yes, we did bring dice. I brought one singular dice.
- 25:39I said, this is this is all I need.
- 25:41It's AD 20. I brought 3D 20s in hopes of us
- 25:45interviewing people OK and giving it to them as a prize.
- 25:48I did bring my little microphone at about a 5 below.
- 25:52Maybe that's the issue with that about at 5 below when I first
- 25:54tested it. Amazing quality.
- 25:57Jerry was a a witness. We tested it at his apartment
- 26:00and I brought it. I don't know if maybe because it
- 26:03was like kind of rainy. Do you think it was like?
- 26:05Or maybe it needed to charge? It not charged.
- 26:07I, I don't know, we recorded a little clip.
- 26:10You might not. It might not be in this episode,
- 26:13No, but it, it's crunchy audio. But it is next time we go, we
- 26:17will be prepared. We will be providing content.
- 26:20In Fits content and Travis Sudas.
- 26:24Yeah, some drummer we're going to pick fights at the Ren Fair.
- 26:28Yes, we are. If you if we see you there, just
- 26:30know. Yeah, count your days.
- 26:32Just know it's going down. Days and the money in your
- 26:35pocket because I roll real high. Force at hand.
- 26:39Not when he was trying to take the axe I had.
- 26:41I felt everything OK. OK, back on track.
- 26:46As soon as we walk in, they have like these like actors.
- 26:49It's very Disneyland themed, like down Main Street, where
- 26:52they have the people in like their old fancy dress.
- 26:54Zach, same thing. People in their Renaissance
- 26:56outfits. MPCS, Literally they're just
- 26:59MPCS. You can talk to them, they'll
- 27:01give you a voice line, and then they go back to their little
- 27:03task. They're like Weedle, like doing
- 27:06some whittling on wood and then doing some leather.
- 27:08Work some guy hitting like some metal.
- 27:10An anvil or something? Yeah.
- 27:11And had no no shape or form of yeah.
- 27:14What for show up sets you up for the vibes sets you up of you
- 27:17turn that corner and immediately there is shops of the coolest
- 27:21things you've ever seen. You're no longer in Irwindale?
- 27:24No, dude, you're in Ye Olde Derwindale.
- 27:27You're in Dale of Erwin. Dale of Erwin.
- 27:30'Cause I think Dale means town or city.
- 27:32Town of Irwin? Wow, no way.
- 27:33Town of Irwin. Whoever Irwin is, thanks for the
- 27:36you're fucking with me. This is really good.
- 27:38No, I'm not. I'm not fucking.
- 27:40No, I'm not fucking with you. I think.
- 27:41I think it's true, we'll Google it, but as soon as you turn the
- 27:45corner, we were jaw dropped by also completely unprepared
- 27:50because you walk into this thinking, oh it's okay, cute.
- 27:53They have people in costume and there's like little stands
- 27:57that's just the entrance. It goes so deep and opens up
- 28:00into a bunch of different avenues of like actual like
- 28:03setup like shops. The map you get, like the
- 28:05Disneyland map at the beginning, was in fact a huge map for oh,
- 28:09not huge, but it was a map for a huge place because you walk a
- 28:12lot. Yeah, and comfortable shoes.
- 28:14Yes, it like loops around the the the dam.
- 28:17So there's a it's, it's long. It's really, but the first thing
- 28:20you see is like these little stands of people selling like
- 28:22little flower headbands, stuff that looks like you can just
- 28:26like prance around in. And then you get to like, oh,
- 28:30people like put their heart and soul into the stuff they're
- 28:33crafting. The amount of leather works that
- 28:35we saw was amazing. People have the greatest
- 28:40craftsmanship and we have so many things, so many things we
- 28:43wanted to buy. Almost immediately I bought some
- 28:46horns. Luta saw them too and she was
- 28:48looking at them and I started talking to the shopkeeper and he
- 28:54was trying to really get me on these like antlers.
- 28:59I mean they were like $120.00 so there was no chance in hell.
- 29:03Where they made it? Where they?
- 29:05Made it, put them on my head and I'm like, oh I see the vision, I
- 29:09get it. And it handcrafted like that's.
- 29:13I'm so glad that they priced them that way because they're
- 29:15made really well and they have to earn, you know, you got to
- 29:19earn their keep. So shout out to them.
- 29:21If you can support them, do it. My Fatia.
- 29:24So I did not buy any horns, but there's alternatives, you know.
- 29:28You can make them. Yeah.
- 29:30Honestly, that is on my list of things I want to have
- 29:34commissioned is a pair of horns. There's ghosts.
- 29:42This is a paranormal episode. Oh my God.
- 29:45Something just dropped. I don't know what it was, but
- 29:47that was scary. Anyway, it was a weave.
- 29:50I would let my what? My weave, Yeah.
- 29:54You're wearing a wig right now and you dropped it.
- 29:56Don't tell them it's all those inches of hair really like
- 30:01smacked. That's the next thing I want.
- 30:04I do want a pair of antlers and I think that's what I want to
- 30:08base my next DND character on. I think I want to do a Druid and
- 30:14it fully inspired just by walking around the Renaissance
- 30:17fair. They also had really cool
- 30:19clothes. One thing I would like to try,
- 30:21we're also debating on becoming season pass holders.
- 30:26I'm down. It's like 200 something bucks
- 30:28and you can just go any of the weekends that they're open.
- 30:31All of them, yes, but there is a service like right at the front
- 30:35where you can rent a costume. Oh yeah, that was pretty
- 30:37awesome. We didn't, we didn't really ask
- 30:39questions because we thought it was like a clothing shop.
- 30:42And then we hear them say, oh, rental, you turn it in.
- 30:44At the end of the day, we're like, OK, well, this is not for
- 30:46us. I did walk in costume.
- 30:47I did walk in there and I started like rummaging through
- 30:49the things and I saw like A tag and I'm like, oh, that's
- 30:52probably an order. But then I looked around and all
- 30:53of most of them had tags on the wall that I was looking.
- 30:55So I was like, oh, this is where you rent them?
- 30:57Yeah, yeah. Very cool.
- 30:59I don't know. They thought, I don't know that
- 30:59was. Well later on I heard someone in
- 31:01costume talking about how they had rented the whole fit that it
- 31:04was $50.00 to rent like deposit and then another 50 to like I
- 31:12don't know, but he said you could keep everything for like
- 31:14100. Bucks.
- 31:15No way. Granted it's like basic stuff
- 31:17but that's like it's it'll if you are last minute you do go
- 31:20without a costume. You can at least for 100 bucks.
- 31:24I mean, 100 if you get, you return it, you get your 50 back.
- 31:27Yeah. So 50 bucks and you're in
- 31:29costume for the day. You're not lame.
- 31:32Yeah, just kidding. It's cool.
- 31:34Ultimately, it's. Cheaper than than buying your
- 31:36stuff there cuz like I said, everything's artisanal.
- 31:38Handcrafted things are kind of pricey.
- 31:41Yeah, things are very pricey, but worth it.
- 31:43Really cool stuff. Worth it, a lot of it.
- 31:45I think there was a leather bag that had a leaf.
- 31:48Oh my God. That was I took a picture.
- 31:49I was so impressed. Those are so cool.
- 31:51It was like a like a like a side satchel that you attach to a
- 31:55belt. There was a little pouch, but
- 31:57the clasp, like the overlapping part, was shaped like a leaf,
- 32:00like a Maple Leaf. Painted and everything and it
- 32:02was super nice. I wanted one but that was also
- 32:05like 80 bucks. California leather handcrafted.
- 32:08Oh yeah, they said. Sourced ethically, I think.
- 32:10California, which is really important, you know, what was,
- 32:14what was not ethically sourced, what the sword I wanted to buy.
- 32:18OK, give them background. What was our state of mind
- 32:21during at that? Point I had breakfast.
- 32:25We got there at 1:00. No, we got there at noon.
- 32:27We got there at noon. I had breakfast like at 8 or
- 32:30something. Same.
- 32:31So yes, it was a Big Breakfast sandwich.
- 32:34I I got to have my breakfast. But when you have one beer that
- 32:40is like 8 point something a. Tall can not.
- 32:43Just like a regular can. I think it was like Dragon's
- 32:45tooth. I forget.
- 32:48OK anyways. It was some sort of a.
- 32:50Lot. It hit me halfway through.
- 32:51I was like, whoa, I'm feeling kind of buzzed.
- 32:53And what do I walk upon? Some swords.
- 32:55A sword Smith. Yeah.
- 32:57And I find this long sword that was just beautiful, like wood.
- 33:03It was a wood handle, but it was like spiraled wood.
- 33:07The design of the handle itself sold me.
- 33:10And I was like, I need this sword.
- 33:12It was a long sword. It was just steel, Chrome.
- 33:15Beautiful. But the.
- 33:18I guess it would be the hilt. Yeah.
- 33:20The sides. Yeah.
- 33:21Didn't convince me. I think it's like maybe it's, I
- 33:24don't know, we'll check later. The design itself was like this
- 33:28little like little Clover looking thing.
- 33:30So it just kind of threw me off and I'm like, I don't like that.
- 33:32So I was like 90% sold on it and I'm like, let me just walk
- 33:35around. Just walk around.
- 33:36Let me just check the other stores.
- 33:37Sober. Days I went, none of the stores
- 33:40on the other side were nice. I came back and I'm like, I'm
- 33:42going to buy. It was pulling out my credit
- 33:44card. I'm like, maybe I should buy
- 33:46Food First. Yeah.
- 33:47And then decided on whether I'm buying a sword.
- 33:50By that point it was like 3, almost 4:00 PM.
- 33:54And we said we were hungry, so we were like, cool, let's we'll
- 33:57go find some food. But no, I find the sword first.
- 33:59Yeah. So we went to go buy food and I
- 34:02said hold that thought, I'm going to come back.
- 34:04I looked at the guy, he looked awesome, but you were making a
- 34:05lot of money a lot of people were buying from.
- 34:07Him cuz honestly I mean his the sword was like it's like a real
- 34:11sword like a full on like metal sword that you have sharpened.
- 34:14Do some. Damage, yes, he said do not
- 34:15swing it and I said don't tell me what to do.
- 34:19I took a couple steps back. At this point I was also heavily
- 34:22inebriated. I was my my second drink down
- 34:29and at that point I'm just an enabler.
- 34:31I'm telling you, why not? Jerry, no, I appreciate you,
- 34:34you. And don't say we're supporters.
- 34:36You got y'all. Y'all had my.
- 34:37Back, I think I was telling you I'm going to pick up a second
- 34:39shift. So Jerry, don't worry, we'll
- 34:41we'll get this. I'll pick up a second shift.
- 34:43You did say that and I was like, no, next next paycheck, I'm just
- 34:46going to pay it off. Like dude, it wasn't that.
- 34:47Bad. We were rational.
- 34:48It was $180. Like, that's a sword, a long
- 34:51sword. So he had that guy had a lot of
- 34:53customers. He did like his stuff was not
- 34:55super expensive in in my understanding of what I think a
- 34:58weapon, even like a sword would cost like of that quality
- 35:01because they were nice. They were nice.
- 35:02I did not think it was going to be that cheap, which is why I
- 35:04kind of was egging you on. Yeah, and, and the swords that
- 35:08he had out for everyone to like see hold and everything were not
- 35:12handmade. They were not like they were
- 35:13probably bought in bulk. And then there was reselling
- 35:16them. They had swords in the back that
- 35:18were made by the two dudes or I don't know if it was like more
- 35:21of them, but they those were like custom and they were like,
- 35:24we made these, which is why they're in the back.
- 35:26They cost more. And I'm like, that's awesome.
- 35:28But those were for sure no out of budget.
- 35:30These were out of budget too, but I was just buzzed.
- 35:32So I was so close to buy my sword.
- 35:36I'm glad I had that Turkey leg. Yeah, we we had lunch after.
- 35:39That Turkey leg hit. I felt primal.
- 35:44I my my primal instincts were I was carnal.
- 35:46There you go. Satisfied, I I devoured that
- 35:51Turkey leg. Yeah.
- 35:52And sobered up and I did not buy the sword so.
- 35:55No sobered up and we left promptly after because it had
- 35:57been a long day. Yeah, I woke up at like that
- 36:01morning. I got drunk real easily too,
- 36:03because I also had breakfast at like 7.
- 36:06AMI. Forgot to mention that same
- 36:08morning my friend Andrew ran 1/2 marathon, the OC marathon.
- 36:12So proud of him. That's so cool.
- 36:13That is like he's in like training for like a good 3-4
- 36:18months. I remember he mentioned that he
- 36:20was gonna do it cuz some of his Co workers were doing it.
- 36:23And I'm like that's so crazy. You're so brave.
- 36:25He looked super official with that bib on.
- 36:27Oh my. God he did.
- 36:28That is, I wish I could be that cool.
- 36:31Dude, we were like, or Joe was tracking him.
- 36:33He was getting text message updates like oh, Andrew has
- 36:36passed mile 4. The fact that you can do that is
- 36:38so cool. I know that's crazy.
- 36:41So I woke up at like 6:00 in the morning, had breakfast with Joe
- 36:45and Anthony at 7:30, and had my first beer of the day at noon.
- 36:50So that's already like a good 78910115 hours since a meal.
- 36:55Finished that real quick. We walked a lot, which probably
- 36:59like, you know. God made it run through our
- 37:01system. Yeah.
- 37:02And then aside from cool stuff to buy, they also have a huge
- 37:08game area. Yes they do.
- 37:10Jerry did the first game he did that strong man with a mallet
- 37:14thing, no? No, no, no, what's he called
- 37:16here? Let me let me inform.
- 37:18I was impressed the listeners we aroused.
- 37:21We are walking, we are on our side quests, walking the path of
- 37:24the Doe, of Owen, and we come upon a giant it.
- 37:29Was a giant. A giant that needed to be
- 37:31slayed. Joe Hampton needed to get
- 37:34banged. They were seeking for travellers
- 37:38who were strong and willing enough, courageous enough, to
- 37:42defeat this giant, and I did. Yeah, Jerry was.
- 37:46I was. Like no give me those 5 bucks
- 37:47I'm doing this. We saw a lot of people fail
- 37:50right before this. Too, I know.
- 37:51And of course, right before I went, the two dudes in front of
- 37:53me hit it. So I was like, I can't be the
- 37:56third one that doesn't hit it. But of course, I, I never
- 37:58doubted myself. Yeah, I train for these days.
- 38:01You know I I trained for this exact same scenario, Dragon.
- 38:04You have good incentive. Too.
- 38:05You have issues with giants, Dragons, goblins.
- 38:07Call me. Yeah, call him and give him a
- 38:09big hammer. A big male.
- 38:11That's all I need. I just need a hammer.
- 38:12You know, squish those bugs. I will.
- 38:19I'm not an exterminator, OK? I told him as he was walking up
- 38:22like hey, if you do this I'm going to find you a pretty go to
- 38:24kiss and he was like me. I recorded a video but it's not
- 38:31in my phone so I don't know whose phone that was.
- 38:32The guy that you stole from. The guy who switched my phones
- 38:36in that moment, Oh damn, he got me.
- 38:38Steve skills, the rogue skills. Yep.
- 38:41Well and 1st swing. I got it, I didn't need two
- 38:45tries. 10 bucks for two swings. Oh my God, no, he said.
- 38:47I'm going to do this. And what?
- 38:48I need one it's it's just all it's physics.
- 38:50Did you give him $10 and then said give me my change?
- 38:52Oh, I give him 5. Bucks I'm like he's a you need
- 38:55another and I said no Sir, all I need is 1 hammer.
- 38:58I like that confidence that that was cool.
- 39:02I don't know how you did. That it all starts with a
- 39:04balanced breakfast, which I had, and all the chocolate milk I
- 39:07drink as a kid. Oh my God.
- 39:09You've been prepping for this. And it worked out.
- 39:12My first Renaissance fair and I slayed a giant.
- 39:15Yeah, that was fun. That was really fun.
- 39:17Right after that me and Woods had played this.
- 39:19Like this dart game where the dart boards are these cute
- 39:22little hearts. Loved it.
- 39:24It was so much fun did. I send you that.
- 39:26Video No, you did not send me the.
- 39:27Video so sorry. Yeah, I haven't posted.
- 39:29I haven't done a post yet, but I will.
- 39:30But I was going to play alone. She's like, Are you sure?
- 39:34If you do to people like I get to do a thing and I'm like,
- 39:37girl, if you get to do a thing, yes, here's $10.00.
- 39:41So most of the games are $5 to play.
- 39:43And so that's the other thing, you need the money for games.
- 39:47Games are also cash. We do not take no card cash.
- 39:50So I gave her like, OK, 10, I'll do me.
- 39:52And she's like, OK, perfect. That means it's a competition
- 39:55now, of course. So you get you get these little
- 39:59wooden chips for every dart that you make and they have like a
- 40:02A10 point value. And you it's like Chuck E
- 40:06Cheese. You can redeem them for gifts
- 40:07after it's. Like Chuck E Cheese.
- 40:08Like Chuck E Cheese. I never went.
- 40:11To Chuck E Cheese. Really.
- 40:12Yeah, that's. A different conversation Go.
- 40:15No, because now I have to take you to Chuck E Cheese.
- 40:17I'm down. I heard the pizza's good.
- 40:18Wait, have you ever been to John's Incredible Pizza?
- 40:21Yeah, I think once. But not Chuck E Cheese.
- 40:24John's incredible pizza's like Chuck E Cheese on steroids.
- 40:26What? OK, anyways, anyways, so she's
- 40:30like, OK, so now it's one versus 1.
- 40:32So you're gonna get points for everyone you make, but the
- 40:34winner gets an extra point or extra coins.
- 40:37So I'm had enough to say that I did lose.
- 40:41OK. But we did surprisingly well.
- 40:44Yes, you guys tied at first. We did first round, we tied, so
- 40:47we went to sudden death. Whoever made the next one like.
- 40:50Closest to the center. Closest to the center, yeah,
- 40:52would be the winner. That's such a cool game because
- 40:56y'all got off and it came down to the last darts.
- 40:58I know it. Came down to the last throws.
- 41:00I know we were also halfway through the beer at that point,
- 41:02so like, it got a little too hard heated, we said.
- 41:06Like why? Why is the heart moving?
- 41:09Is that heart beating? Is it getting bigger?
- 41:11Is it supposed to be beating? Why am I falling?
- 41:15Yeah, that was fun game. That was that was cool
- 41:16spectating it because. They also have rides that I
- 41:19refuse to get on. Oh no, those.
- 41:21I saw videos of those and no. They have like these like wooden
- 41:25swings that people are on and no.
- 41:26I don't trust like manually pushing them and everything.
- 41:28Yeah, there was a guy who was like standing on the back of it.
- 41:31Yeah, no, I'm good. I'm no, that was I didn't sign a
- 41:34waiver. No, you know, maybe I.
- 41:36Maybe walking in is signing the waiver?
- 41:38True. Like what purchase of ticket you
- 41:40forfeit do you? Think they had OSHA back in the
- 41:42medieval times. I don't think so.
- 41:46They'd have a different name. Ye old OSHA.
- 41:51Ye old Occupational Safety, hazard awareness, whatever OSHA
- 41:55stands for association. Association.
- 41:57Yeah, yeah, those games were sketchy.
- 41:59No, thank you. Turtle races.
- 42:01Oh, oh, I lost the I don't want to talk about the turtle races
- 42:04'cause I think it might be animal.
- 42:05Cruelty. No.
- 42:06OK, So what I told Dulce was their little corral or their
- 42:10section where they were corralled off.
- 42:12They had a lot of fresh food, a lot of fresh fruit.
- 42:14None of that looked old. They had a lot of cover and
- 42:16shade. They had a bunch of water to
- 42:18soak in and drink from. They looked OK, they looked fine
- 42:21and they're racing itself. They no one's forced, no one's
- 42:24pushing them. They are put in this little
- 42:26ring. Yeah, there was no, OK, you're
- 42:28right, Because there was like no incentive.
- 42:29It's not like they were withholding food from them to
- 42:32like get them to race. No, they like put them in a tub
- 42:35in the dark and then they lift it and the first one to make it
- 42:37to the outer ring winds. And some of them stayed in the
- 42:41middle. They didn't move.
- 42:41Who won? We were rooting for Babushka.
- 42:45Babushka, but who was leading the race?
- 42:47Leading we I had I had it in the bag.
- 42:49I was going to buy Cherry. Bet $30 on this, by the way.
- 42:52I put the cottage down. I put the my first born.
- 42:56Yeah, yeah. And I lost it.
- 42:58All Jay, you keep offering that first born.
- 43:00In the end, you're still stuck with them.
- 43:04I have the Squire job. Lined up.
- 43:07Lined up for them so it's just fingers crossed as soon.
- 43:09As they turn 6, they they they can start putting in.
- 43:13For work, he's he's he's a little bigger than his than his
- 43:15than most of the kids age. So you might go before anyways.
- 43:19So yeah, I lost the cottage. I did not I did not win that
- 43:23that race. I put off my coin, my gold coin,
- 43:26my gold pieces. Total racing fun.
- 43:32OK, testing, testing. Cool.
- 43:34We're back. Magically got this americano
- 43:37again. Gonna need some espresso and
- 43:38water. We had to take an emergency
- 43:40break because I had to hit my inhaler.
- 43:43I was laughing so hard about that joke about Jerry's child.
- 43:46And if you hear me wheezing, I'm so sorry.
- 43:50Wheezer. So a second highlight, I don't
- 43:53know if we were talking about highlights, we were talking
- 43:55about games, but like make sure you bring cash for games and for
- 43:59drinks specifically so you can tip the wonderful wenches at the
- 44:05the Uble or whatever it's called.
- 44:06I don't remember. So if you've gotten any
- 44:10Renaissance Fair content on any app, it might have been the
- 44:14these ladies in these Thai corsets with their boobies up to
- 44:18their chins hand feeding you your or like hand pouring
- 44:25alcohol into your mouth and. Are you holding anything?
- 44:29You are chained up, your hands are holding onto these like
- 44:32metal rings on the roof of the of the little like bar.
- 44:38It's kind of like, yeah, like a bar.
- 44:40So it's like like on a platform. So when you're at the actual
- 44:46bar, you're like looking up at them.
- 44:47So you're like face is like, I like at the level of where
- 44:52they're serving the drinks. So they just tell you, OK, do
- 44:55you want this naughty or nice consent?
- 44:57So they do ask because if you say nice, they just give you the
- 45:00drink and you're on your way. If you say naughty, you say nice
- 45:02things. Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely nice
- 45:04things. Like, Oh my God, have a great
- 45:05day. You look so cute.
- 45:07If you say naughty, they what happens?
- 45:11You put your hands up like you're handcuffed to the
- 45:14freaking ceiling and they're like, OK, I'll be right back.
- 45:17They come, they pop open the drink with like a knife and
- 45:21they're like, OK, lean your head back open wide.
- 45:25Oh, don't let any of it drop. Oh, you're a good, good boy.
- 45:28I've. Never.
- 45:31I've never seen Brian. I'm so much direct.
- 45:33Contracting. No, I was just not looking.
- 45:35I wasn't looking. I was so shy.
- 45:36He was looking. No, don't believe him.
- 45:39His pants are on fire right now. No, they're not.
- 45:42I'm telling you, I went into it with 0 confidence.
- 45:45The liquid courage helped because I don't think I would
- 45:48have done that completely sober. It was very intimate.
- 45:51When we say the line was line, there was a line.
- 45:55Yes, line. There was lines for it, like
- 45:57each individual wench, that's what they call themselves.
- 46:01And they were all long because these girls were like,
- 46:03committed. I hope they got their coin man,
- 46:05because that's. Hopefully they did the concept
- 46:09and it's just you have to be so brave to like commit to that
- 46:13type of character of just like these strangers.
- 46:16I don't know them and I'm just going to tell them to like tilt
- 46:18their head back and put their mouth on it.
- 46:20It was, it was crazy. I would luckily and tall enough
- 46:23to like grab the the the rings attached to the ceiling.
- 46:28But if you're a little shorter, they give you handcuffs that you
- 46:32put your arms in and they say, OK, hands behind your head and
- 46:35you hold them there like handcuffed while they whisper
- 46:39obscenities to you and pour your drink in.
- 46:42And it's not like a a light hand either.
- 46:44They like. Oh, your.
- 46:45Mouth is full dude. It was like dribbling down the
- 46:47sides and they were commenting on it it.
- 46:49Was recording so I did not like I wasn't seeing the.
- 46:51POV I don't even want to hear back the footage.
- 46:55I took a great video. I took one of those.
- 46:57I felt kind of weird. I felt kind of weird 'cause I
- 46:59was recording and like I had the camera like right next to your
- 47:02face. I'm like.
- 47:04I haven't watched it and I don't I don't think I'm ready.
- 47:06They've been watched. What the video 'cause you you
- 47:09haven't sent it but? Watched.
- 47:10I heard. Watched.
- 47:11No, no, no. No, you haven't watched the what
- 47:13and then watched. The video and I don't think I
- 47:18want to post it anyway. If you would like to see the
- 47:19video, please no no no individually.
- 47:22Please don't you have to pay him $100.
- 47:26That's, I don't know, you sent to that.
- 47:27Give him $100 and you can see the video.
- 47:29OK, A viewing party that works. The one thing we did miss out
- 47:34on, because it was kind of late in the day and like we said we
- 47:37had an 8, was they had the last show for the jousting, jousting
- 47:42at like 5:00 PM. By the time we got over there,
- 47:45that's kind of the end of the renfere.
- 47:46It's a big yeah. And once you get over there,
- 47:49there's like not much other than the fence.
- 47:51And after walking back to get food and then eating the food
- 47:53and then just kind of getting slumped after, I did not want to
- 47:56walk back, no. And I can do that at home.
- 47:59I just get a hop on my horse and.
- 48:01Tell Who said he had to do the same.
- 48:03And we just go full force. I need to like I'll start from
- 48:05the patio, she'll start from the kitchen and then we'll just.
- 48:08What has the broom? The other has the Mop I.
- 48:12Have the Swiffer. Yeah, safety, Safety first.
- 48:16It's plastic. It's not like wood or anything.
- 48:20But next time we will be going to the jousting early, not as
- 48:23Yeah. No, next time we're going to be
- 48:25going for the entire day. I did not expect to be who?
- 48:28Will be members. Spending an hour coming home
- 48:31from the OC Fair, but like their traffic control was terrible.
- 48:35Getting in wasn't that bad. It did take a while.
- 48:38So we did get there like after Andrew had already finished the
- 48:41race, but getting out of there was insane because Andrew fast,
- 48:47so fast he did in like hour and a half, two hours and a half.
- 48:53I think he said his like average mile was like 10 minutes.
- 48:58Not even in middle school my guy. 10 minutes.
- 49:00I could have hit those times if put a light of fire in my ass.
- 49:04Yeah, and a hot dog in front of me.
- 49:06Nope. Maybe, maybe at Costco.
- 49:08Hot dog. I'm down.
- 49:09I'm just waiting full speed. I do it for chicken bake.
- 49:13Don't. Don't get me started on the
- 49:15chicken bake. I'm not.
- 49:16I'm not even. I'm gliding at that point.
- 49:18I am flying like fuck you, fuck you.
- 49:21Use the chicken bake. So we got there like kind of
- 49:24early for him because he had finished the race kind of early,
- 49:27but there was a whole bunch of people and a majority of them
- 49:31were not that fast. So trying to get out of there
- 49:33when most of the people are coming to support was crazy.
- 49:37We have the plan of getting to the Renfair at like 11, like
- 49:40leaving here at 11 to get there. I didn't get home until like 11.
- 49:45So I changed real quick. I threw the wig in the car.
- 49:50I got dressed in the back of Luton Jerry's car.
- 49:54You had the wig on already? I put it on right like right
- 49:57before I was wearing a hat in the car, but then as soon as I
- 50:00should have worked waiting for you guys, I threw the wig on
- 50:02should. Have worn it from from the race
- 50:03to. Us.
- 50:04No, I thought about it. I did.
- 50:07With the ears. With the oaf.
- 50:08Ears that would have been so cool.
- 50:09I would have looked over and be like nice.
- 50:11No, just got to send it sometimes, you know, I just, I
- 50:14keep. Saying I'm going to wear that
- 50:15thing out to like when we go out.
- 50:17You should, especially if you silent like you did and put it
- 50:20up in a ponytail, like half up and the rest is down.
- 50:23What are you doing Friday night or Saturday night?
- 50:28Not sure. Oh, it is Mother's Day this
- 50:31weekend. So happy Mother's Day to the
- 50:32Mother's Week. The Mother's Day.
- 50:34It's going to be your day pretty soon.
- 50:36Hope you guys have a good day that your children do something
- 50:40really sweet for you. But remember, material things
- 50:42don't matter. It's a thought.
- 50:44As nice as they are, quality time did.
- 50:46Your mic disconnect? No, I didn't.
- 50:48Just go Terry, we're stressed now.
- 50:49Yes, we are because also I did hit my inhaler but my mic also
- 50:52disconnected. So sorry.
- 50:55But we appreciate you, moms. Yeah, we love you, moms.
- 50:58Love you mom. We love you.
- 51:01OK, anyway, circling back to Renfair, we already have ideas
- 51:07to what we want to wear for next time.
- 51:10You gave us a glimpse, but please elaborate.
- 51:12So I did mention I want antlers, but next year I do want to go.
- 51:1640. Shut up.
- 51:18I do want to go full like wood elf druid.
- 51:23It's the best with antlers, it's the best.
- 51:25There's a lot of people that had cool like leaf accessories, like
- 51:28I would love that. That pouch with the Maple Leaf.
- 51:31That was really cool. People just have like a bunch of
- 51:34like woodsy wooden thing woodland things, a lot of
- 51:37mushrooms, a lot of wood, which, Oh my God, I'm deleting that.
- 51:43I'm deleting that. Wait and.
- 51:47Sorry if there's an awkward pause, I said something I need
- 51:49to delete. Anyways, yes I would like to be
- 51:52like a woodland nymph next time with with elf ears but cooler
- 51:57elf ears because there were some that were like shaped to look
- 52:00like gills and stuff. There's some that you like, like
- 52:03they're like an insert almost, instead of kind of like a hook
- 52:05that we have. There's some that are like an
- 52:06insert that you put your ear in and it looks like it's an
- 52:09extension that looks like real ears, like elf ears.
- 52:12I want to do that. We will purchase them.
- 52:14I want to be more committed. I want to do like special
- 52:16effects, kind of like vibes. Yeah, yeah.

- 52:26good month. We got time.
- 52:28Truly a whole year. Months later, we haven't done
- 52:31anything. Okay, what do you want to do?
- 52:36It will be. I will definitely be going as a
- 52:38druid as well. I'm not going.

- 52:44cosplaying as my DND character Butio, but I still want to do
- 52:48the whole druid thing. I want to have like the circle
- 52:50of the whatever, like circle of the moon stamp somewhere on me.

- 54:00that I found? And I told the seller who was
- 54:02sitting in front, I'm like, I have someone for you that's

- 54:45your hand and it's like you're holding the dragon.
- 54:47And these Dragons, familiar pets, they are so detailed.
- 54:52They meant they said that there is no.
- 54:56They said that well they that they share similar molds, but
- 54:58they're all hand painted. But there's.
- 55:00No, they don't look identical. Yeah, every single one is going
- 55:03to be different. And they look so detailed and

- 55:31But the, the one of the workers, I was talking to her and she's
- 55:35like, oh, how long did it take you to grow your ears?

- 55:41say hair because I was wearing a wig.
- 55:42And I'm like 2 to three business days.
- 55:45And she started laughing so hard.

- 55:51Only in that moment. The rest I I cannot commit to
- 55:54live action role play like the people who like work there.
- 55:58They're like role-playing. They just.
- 55:59Know what they say they have. I mean they have years of
- 56:01preparation and years under their belts.

- 1:01:33in the universe Tomorrow I want to go see the Cowboy Carter
- 1:01:35tour. So hopefully me and Melissa
- 1:01:39would say pull up, maybe we can get some cheap tickets.
- 1:01:42But in in the manifestation of that I am gonna recommend Ya Ya
- 1:01:54by Beyoncé from the album. It's a great song.
- 1:01:57Anytime I'm in my Cowboy Carter mood, like I want to listen to
- 1:02:00that album, I start with that song because it hypes me up.
- 1:02:03It's so good. I'm sorry, I was looking through
- 1:02:05my phone when you were talking to me about Beyoncé.
- 1:02:07Are you? Have you been looking at
- 1:02:09tickets? Yes.
- 1:02:10Are they cheaper? They are cheaper depending on
- 1:02:13like what app you use, but we did say we're not trying to
- 1:02:15spend more than like 50-60 bucks.
- 1:02:17Which is possible? Yes, because right now they're
- 1:02:19floating around like 70. 80 No way Dang.
- 1:02:22For Beyoncé, for nose bleeds, it's like the last row way of
- 1:02:25top. But I just want to be there.
- 1:02:27I want to experience a lot of those songs live.
- 1:02:29So hopefully we go. And if they say no I am, I can
- 1:02:32go on my own. I will update you next week.
- 1:02:35You stay tuned, stay tuned. Great song, great album.

- 1:02:53listen to it. It's Thursday, put it on.
- 1:02:56Listen to it. Listen to it after this.
- 1:02:58If you listen on Spotify I think you might be able to pull up the
- 1:03:01songs that we recommend. It gave me the option last
- 1:03:04episode. No way so.
- 1:03:07I did not double check to be honest, but hopefully those are
- 1:03:11easily accessible if you're listening on Spotify.
- 1:03:14If not just Google it. You got fingers?
- 1:03:16Yeah, and if you're on iTunes or Apple Music, I'm.
- 1:03:21Not going to say anything mean no, you're going to hurt
