KENT: about. But yeah, like you know, I I I haven't gone out and gotten a coffee in a while because I usually make my own coffee and I've been doing the bullet coffee and stuff like that. But you know, I went to the movies today and as you can see my popcorn is right here. you know. When you go to the movies and buy a ten dollar bucket of popcorn, you eat the one bucket there and then you bring one home. So it's only five bucks, you know. But I had British Liz: Well, does that mean does that mean I could take this and get free popcorn? Next next. KENT: No, you can get a refill on that thing. they'll they'll charge you less. Yeah.

And I'm gonna take that to Rebel Scum and get a few other people to sign it to. KENT: There you go, yeah. So before I went to the movies, I went to Panera Bread to get a coffee. And I you know, I used when I was doing sales, I used to stop at Panera Bread all the time and get dark rose coffee and stuff like that. I think today and I'm like either they watered it down or I'm really getting bougie with my bullet coffee because you know I I I British Liz: You're getting bougie. You are so bougie with your coffee. Ooh the blend. Ooh the vanilla. Yes. KENT: No, no, I don't do all the you know, like British Liz: Yes, you do. KENT: high end, I don't get like ten pumps of vanilla and all the other flavoring. That that just adds more calories, you know. If you're watching, Liz has got her face up into the camera saying, yes he does, yes he does. British Liz: I I was just I was just expressing my opinion that you talk a load of rubbish.

It'd be like saying Nescafe, you know, it's just what everybody drinks. KENT: That's like going into Dunkin' Donut and just getting the glazed donut every single time you go into Dunkin' Donut. Yuck. You gotta have some variety in life. You gotta make that glazed donut a crispy cream donut. You know, you gotta have a different glazed donut. Like, you don't just eat Dunkin' Donut for the rest of your life. You go to Krispy Kreme, and then you go to Five Daughters Bakery, you go to and you try the glazed donut, and then you're like, this one's way better than the Dunkin' Donut because it's got more flavor, or it's got different dough, or it's like, PG chips, drink it.

I moving to Tennessee, moving to Tennessee, British Liz: Yeah, so creature of habit. KENT: I've learned about Waffle House. It was interesting to go to the Waffle House a couple of times. Now, you know who's another big Waffle House fan? Rakishi, the wrestler. British Liz: Is he? KENT: my gosh, that guy he loves Waffle House. Like I've worked with him several times and he's like, we'd get done with an event, and it could be like seven o'clock at night, and he'd be like, Hey, let's go get some Waffle House.

British Liz: Okay folks, write to me and tell me why I'm using the wrong word here. It's not generic, it's standard, it's like the the go-to brand. It's like saying Kleenex, you know, it's just KENT: Mm-hmm. Like Bolgers. British Liz: Yeah, or something like that. Yeah. So it's like KENT: speaking of which, I all right, you're you're old school like me. You've heard of Folgers, coffee, and stuff like that. Yeah. Best part of waking up is British Liz: Yeah the there's folders in your cup something. Waking up. KENT: Folgers in your cup. And I'm not a singer. Okay. I am not. But every British Liz: Don't give up your day job. KENT: time I hear see those commercials or I hear that song, it reminds me of a little Johnny joke. British Liz: A what? KENT: A little Johnny. Little Johnny, you never heard little Johnny jokes? my gosh. So little Johnny is his boy, and he decides he wants to make his mom breakfast in bed because it's like a special day, Mother's Day and stuff like that. So he's whipping up stuff. She hears it, she's like, my gosh, what's going on? All of a sudden the door slams open. He comes in, he's got breakfast there, and he's got and a cup of coffee, and she's like, this looks great, thank you. He goes, Mom, drink your coffee, drink your coffee. And she's like, Okay, okay. So she starts sipping around and does a cringe because it's just bitter and nasty, you know, you know, little kid making coffee, not the best. And so she keeps drinking, and all of a sudden she looks in the cup and she sees like this green thing floating in there, and she's like, Huh. So she keeps drinking, and all of a sudden she sees a head of a soldier, and she's like, What the heck? So she keeps drinking and All of a sudden like she drinking it all the way getting it down and stuff like that. And she's like looking and she's like, Johnny, why is there a soldier in my cup? He goes, Mom, on the TV they say the best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup. British Liz: Okay, that's cute. KENT: I love that joke. That's a it's a cute joke. It's funny. Like old school people that drink soldiers get it. So Yeah, that's the only joke I I can ever remember. Like I used to be an encyclopedia of jokes. I can't remember but one. British Liz: I'm not a good enough actor to tell a joke. You have KENT: there you go. British Liz: to pause in the right spots. I'm not very good at that. KENT: I heard a joke today. I yeah, I'll I'll keep it to myself then. British Liz: Ha ha ha. KENT: We'll keep it VG here today. So yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. British Liz: good, thank you. KENT: How was your week? I mean, we talked about football and Mexico losing and everybody in the in your family's watching it all over the place and we got into our coffee. How was your week? did you go to a Comic Con? Were you at a con? Did you have Okay. British Liz: It was good. I was not. It was the big birthday weekend, two hundred and fiftieth. So KENT: two fifty. Did they blow up your city? British Liz: my goodness, there were so many neighborhood fireworks. It's KENT: yeah. British Liz: so funny. I've lived in Colorado the last twenty odd years and it was KENT: Yeah, can't blow anything up. British Liz: it you it was always there was always a firework KENT: Fire hazard. British Liz: ban because of fires and right now KENT: Mm-hmm. British Liz: they have fires already. KENT: Mm-hmm. British Liz: And so I think it never even occurred to me to do backyard fireworks, just KENT: yeah. Here you can. British Liz: my goodness, in Missouri you can. It was like a war zone from like KENT: yeah. Yeah. British Liz: Wednesday through to Sunday. It's just crazy. And KENT: Yeah. Still going on in my neighborhood. British Liz: and my hubby went out and actually filmed, it wasn't just it wasn't just the noise. There were people in the street setting off fireworks. I went to the city display and it was less impressive. It was funny. KENT: Well, the city here tried to blow up the city because it was being televised on TV. They had Boys British Liz: Mm-hmm. KENT: the Mind and they had s Ryan Seacrest and the Jonas Brothers. I mean, of course, it's British Liz: Mm-hmm. In Nashville. KENT: in Nashville, Music City, like they had this huge stage. Like you can go on Google, not Google, you can go on Instagram and just type Broadway or Nashville Fireworks or And I am not joking, it was wall to wall people for I want to say six seven blocks and each side street would I it like I'm not joking Liz it was crazy and then the British Liz: Where was this actually at Music City where we w where that con was? KENT: Yeah, well, on on Broadway, because they put the stage on on Broadway right by the waterfront British Liz: okay. Gotcha, okay. KENT: and then they used the stadium to launch all the fireworks and stuff like that. So British Liz: Wow. KENT: they blew up all kinds of fireworks. But I I was tempted to go down there just to see it and I'm so glad I did not. Because I heard the parking was terrible and then the amount of people I If you were to watch the fireworks, you would have had to do it. I would have done it from a rooftop bar. Not doing it British Liz: Mm-hmm. KENT: on the street because all those people down there, no way. I would have got on a rooftop bar. And then you probably had to be there like at noon just to get a good spot. So then what do you do? You drink and eat all day. And so you're spending a hundred dollars or more. British Liz: And and bake and bake what was it in the nineties there? KENT: I was ninety eight on the fourth of July. So yeah, no. I I don't need to get there, you know. I saw it from the comfort of my home in air conditioning, rocked out the door, British Liz: Yeah. KENT: threw a couple of eighties on the street and called it a day. British Liz: Well, now KENT: Yeah. British Liz: now that I know, if I don't have a con next fourth of July, maybe I'll join in the fun and set off some fireworks. KENT: Well, all you gotta do is there's always a fireworks stand around the corner somewhere. And yeah, so I'm gonna let you know. British Liz: they're everywhere. Those little pop ups. Yeah. KENT: Fourth of July, they will start a setting up in June and then they'll start setting right up after Thanksgiving for the new year. Yeah. So you get two times British Liz: For New Year's? KENT: to blow up everything. So yeah. Learn something British Liz: Okay. KENT: new, yeah. British Liz: So you obviously you were home for the fourth KENT: I was home.

Doing anything this week with Comic Con? where are you headed? British Liz: I am I am going to a horror con KENT: Mm. British Liz: in St. Louis called KENT: Horror. British Liz: STL Horror and it's it's interesting 'cause I am not a horror person, but KENT: Yeah. British Liz: it's not like it's scary, you know, because KENT: No, no.

KENT: can go through I've been doing San Diego since ninety-two. All right. So that's 30 plus years. I know it like the back of my hands. The only thing is is I don't do the panels. Because one, I'm not standing in those long lines. And I've heard most of the stories. So British Liz: Yeah. KENT: I usually hang out in the vendor hall, you know, and make new connections or go see the like Mary Lee has a booth there and you know she always has something new and exciting or I'll go to the sideshow booth and or I know the people at the Star Wars pavilion area so I hang out with them and see what's new and what's late and get the free swag and yeah I make it fun but I could do San Diego in a day British Liz: Yeah. KENT: not four days but British Liz: Yes. And just the the steps so huge. Just my yeah, my KENT: You you definitely get your steps then at San Diego Comic Con. British Liz: my feet were extremely unhappy when I went. So yeah, I don't know I don't know about doing that one again. It was just it was too big, I thought. For me. For me. KENT: What you need to do or what you could attempt to do is go to New York. British Liz: I should do New York at least once. Yeah. KENT: You've done MegaCon. I know you've done Salt Lake. I know you've done Demper. I know you've done San Diego. The one British Liz: Yes. KENT: you oughta look at is New York. That way you can say you've done the big ones.

British Liz: So are you are you going back to Nashville after San Diego or do you have another one? KENT: n and then yeah well I go back in between all of these but British Liz: okay. KENT: no I go actually go back and then I go to CreepyCon. So yeah. British Liz: Busy, busy, busy. KENT: And then after that I go to Vegas for Star Trek. British Liz: Yes, that's right. And that's in middle of August? KENT: First week in August, yeah. British Liz: Okay. KENT: Yeah, so it's a busy summer, which is fine by me. I I still love this stuff, it's fun. I get more stories to share. British Liz: Yes. KENT: Speaking of stories, British Liz: Yes. KENT: if you can't see, I have my AMC bucket of popcorn right here. British Liz: Yes. KENT: went to the movies today. British Liz: Yes, you said. What did KENT: Yeah. British Liz: you see? KENT: I went and saw Supergirl. Yeah. And it was it was alright. I mean well British Liz: That's a that's a little bit damning, no? KENT: I mean James Gunn has created a a new Superman, Supergirl, he's doing it in his vision, you know, and you know my expectations weren't high, but I also had just from the previews. you know that she's drunk and she's on this other planet and Lobo's there and there's gonna be this battle and stuff like that. And it really wasn't what I was expecting. So it was kind of a surprise. British Liz: So the preview was a little misleading or KENT: Yeah, a little misleading because you know, I I don't want to give it away for people. But you know, she basically is fighting somebody to save something. Yeah. British Liz: Okay. KENT: And then in between, there's this girl that needs Revenge and they bond and supergirls attempting to help her and stuff like that. So it wasn't too bad. I mean I would I need to watch it again? Probably not. But this is my opinion. And so if a subscriber is getting upset because they love Supergirl, awesome. You know, I I'm excited because I work with, you know, Sean Gunn and Nila and some of the people of the Superman cast. So British Liz: Yes. KENT: the hearing their stories about Millie and how excited they were for her to, know, be Supergirl and and then, you know, just little bits like Superman's shows up in the movie and has a few roles in there, nothing big, but you know, he's there and you know it it it ties them in a little bit better than what you saw on Superman. You know. So yeah. Again, would I go back and watch it? Yeah, maybe if I was bored and it was on the plane and there was nothing else British Liz: Yeah. KENT: to watch. So Sorry, James, don't don't be hurt by my opinion. Everybody else probably loved it, but yeah, I mean go watch it. It was worth the watch. The graphics were good. you know, girl power and bonding and you know good versus evil. So yeah. It was worth the watch. British Liz: Okay. KENT: Yeah. Have you seen anything good lately? British Liz: I've been watching Silo, which is KENT: you know what? I just earmarked that one on Apple TV because I was like, 'cause isn't that British Liz: Yeah. Yeah, I just KENT: Go ahead. British Liz: Yeah, it's the Rebecca Ferguson who plays the mother in June. she's KENT: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. She's a great actress. British Liz: she she really is. KENT: Now my question is this the silo from the movie the British Liz: There was a movie? KENT: yeah British Liz: like some time ago. KENT: Long time ago. Yeah, where they're i underground British Liz: I don't know. It's KENT: in the silo because earth is terrible and da da da. Timothy Hudson? British Liz: Well, yeah, I think the idea is that the the surface is is poisoned and so they all have to live underground. KENT: Yeah. British Liz: And then there's there's a little bit of conspiracy, a mystery, some murders, and so you've got the the double whammy of the almost cri criminal procedural plus the overarching mystery of what's really going on. Why are we down here? And is it green up top? Or is it still poisonous? So you've kind of got this Yeah, this kind of double thing going on. And she's she's she does awkward really well. KENT: Let's see. British Liz: She she manages to make you uncomfortable just watching her because you don't know KENT: Mm. British Liz: what's going on in there. but it's KENT: That's British Liz: we're just ooh, five episodes in maybe. And KENT: Okay. British Liz: it is great. It's really strong. And I heard that season three, which just came out like I think last week got I think a hundred percent on Rotten Tomatoes KENT: Okay. British Liz: which is unprecedented so that's exciting. So I'll be watching that in between football games. KENT: football games that's funny. British Liz: Yeah. KENT: Yeah. All right. No, I was there's there was a movie with Tim Robbins in it and it was like Silo. And that's why I was like, ooh, I want to watch silo. British Liz: And Tim Robbins is in this. KENT: Yeah, yeah, that's why I was like, I wonder if this is just kinda British Liz: you mean not the old one you were saying? KENT: Yeah, and I was just looking up to see if I could rem City of Embers. I think that's it. I can't remember. It's just there was one like that where they were underground because the the planet was toxic and why are they in the silo and then the the mayor like trying to keep everybody there. British Liz: I feel like it's I feel like the idea is not you you know KENT: New. British Liz: it was the hundred. KENT: Well that was a TV show. I didn't watch the Hunter. British Liz: But it's similar thing. Everyone was underground because the surface KENT: okay. Yeah. Yeah, British Liz: was toxic. KENT: yeah. And then the mayor's trying to keep everybody, but he knows it's good and blah blah blah. Yeah. Yeah. British Liz: Yeah. So so yeah, it's it's a compelling show. So enjoying that. KENT: Well there you go. Yeah. And anything else? British Liz: well I have a con in two weeks KENT: Okay. British Liz: in Waterloo, Iowa, folks. If you'd like to go to Waterloo, Iowa. It's called Con Quest KENT: Mm-hmm. Ooh, Iowa. Okay. British Liz: on the s 16th, 17th, KENT: Yeah. British Liz: that weekend of July, which I don't know that we'll have aired this then, but but I'm helping with the organization of that. So KENT: Ooh. British Liz: That should be fun. It's got a lot of vendors and about fifteen guests. So yeah. First time con. So I'm excited to be part KENT: Fifteen guess, that's a pretty good size one. Okay. Well, hopefully that goes well. British Liz: of that. KENT: Yeah. Yeah, well, sounds like we're both busy. A lot of stuff going on. And then, you know, for the listeners out there, you know, like we always say, if you're gonna go to a Comic-Con, you know, look up the area that you live in, see if there's a Comic-Con going on, pre-game your Comic-Con, like the one in Iowa that you're doing. I would look it up, I would see who the guests are, find out if they got pricing for the autographs or selfies on the website so you can British Liz: They do, yeah. Mm-hmm. KENT: gauge how much money you're gonna spend. Because you know, you wanna, you know, it's not like you walk into Disneyland and just say, all right, well, let's go over here. Usually most people that go to Disneyland pre-game, all right, we're gonna start at the jungle cruise, and then we're gonna go over to the British Liz: Yeah. KENT: scary mansion, and then we'll walk over here to the Matterhorn, and then we'll do you know Space Mountain, or we'll just do a circle. You know, same thing with the Comic Con. You wanna pre-game. British Liz: Yep. Figure out who you want to meet, whether you want to buy an autograph, selfie, get a KENT: Uh-huh. British Liz: a photo op with them. If KENT: Yeah. British Liz: you're gonna budget to buy com stuff, T shirts and toys and collectibles and comics and costumes and lightsabers and all of that. But KENT: Swords. British Liz: and yes, all swords. and and what should they bring? Kent, what's the number one thing they should have in their pocket? KENT: Deodorant. Cats money. Yes. Cats is king. my gosh. I was British Liz: Cash money. We we can't recommend enough to bring your cash with you. KENT: just out of show and Most people had cards. the ATM was out of money in the cell service and the service British Liz: As it usually is. KENT: was terrible. So trying to use the credit card machine was just circling and circling and it's like, hey, how you do hey, what brought you here? like I had to go have a conversation just because I was waiting for the money to hit the machine when we could have been through like three people already. And it was a pain in the butt. But those who had cash got to get cuts in line. Because I gotta keep the line going. So if you're got a card and it's taking a little bit, hey, if you got cash, I can take you next and then you can go get your autograph and get on to the next person. So yeah. it is. Well, I don't know who it's awkward for them or me. British Liz: Yeah. And it's it's rather socially awkward, isn't it? When when y you're like, well it's not taking your card. It's not taking your card but it's because KENT: it's British Liz: of the delay and the signal and all of that. And then it becomes you know, you have to ask ask for a different one or KENT: socially awkward for I think it's more awkward for us than them. British Liz: sorry? KENT: I think it's more awkward for us than them. Cause yeah yeah. British Liz: Yeah. that's what I mean. It's it's it's painful to say, Do you have a different one or do you have cash or something? It's KENT: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. British Liz: almost like you're accusing them when it's actually the problem of the internet. Yeah. KENT: Technology, you gotta love it, but then it also is your worst enemy. Awesome. Well, Liz, my time is done. My coffee is empty. British Liz: My tea is not quite empty, but it is cold. And you know we do not we do not KENT: Well, it's cold, so that means we've been talking long enough. British Liz: say the word iced tea in my house. KENT: No okay. No iced tea.
