00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:02,800
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. 
Welcome to what do you say 

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,300
anime? 
I am your host Peter. 

3
00:00:04,300 --> 00:00:07,600
And if you cannot tell by my 
voice, the boys had one hell of 

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,600
a weekend. 
We have just returned from an 

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,000
amazing New York City. 
And we are here to do our recap 

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,300
on one of the largest Anime 
conventions in the new in the 

7
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:20,300
United States. 
That is joining me today, we 

8
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:23,900
have Pat and Cat and we are 
going to be going over some of 

9
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:27,400
the things that we did during 
the convention things that we 

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,600
like things that we didn't like 
so before, Get into jumping into

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,600
it. 
Pat, how are you feeling today? 

12
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:43,600
Yeah, yes, that's how I feel 
like today or maybe no, is a 

13
00:00:43,608 --> 00:00:44,900
better answer? 
I don't know. 

14
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:49,700
Um, I feel awful to be honest. 
Like, I already told my family, 

15
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:50,900
like, I'm not eating dinner with
you guys. 

16
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:52,500
The next few days just to be 
safe. 

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,900
I think I have the Conn flu and 
doesn't feel like covid symptoms

18
00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:58,700
from what I've done my research 
on. 

19
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:03,500
So I'm glad about that, but I 
feel terrible and my voice is 

20
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:05,300
shot still. 
If you guys can probably hear 

21
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:06,800
it. 
Yeah, we could hear it. 

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,500
Okay, I'm glad to know that 
because I can't tell when I 

23
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:13,300
listen back or I guess I will be
able to tell him. 

24
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:16,500
I listen back then. 
So I'll be fun to hear ya. 

25
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:18,400
What about you, buddy? 
What are you up to? 

26
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:23,100
Oh man, I this is the first time
I've actually been on a bit 

27
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:29,200
today, like everyone. 
Terrible, mom, my throat feels 

28
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,300
like there's razor blades in it.
It and like moving more than 25.

29
00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:37,200
Feet gets me exhausted. 
And I go into another like two 

30
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,800
hour nap. 
So like, I feel like a 85 year 

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,900
old right now. 
Yeah, well, we are happy. 

32
00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:50,000
We are all struggling, whether 
it's our voice, how we feel 

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,400
physically, but boys, I'm not 
gonna lie. 

34
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,800
I had one hell of a weekend, and
I would trade it again in a 

35
00:01:55,808 --> 00:01:59,000
heartbeat. 
I agree. 

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,900
I had a very long, a little bit 
longer. 

37
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:03,700
Trip than most of the other 
people too, but I would gladly 

38
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:06,500
do it again. 
That was a, that was quite the 

39
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:10,100
trip. 
It was so great to see to solve 

40
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:14,400
our friends in person and meet 
people that we've only seen on 

41
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,900
Discord, you know again, but cat
is an example. 

42
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:20,500
I've never met him before in 
real life and neither, did 

43
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:22,700
anyone else here? 
So it's really cool. 

44
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:26,100
He's a little weird. 
But, you know, you know, you 

45
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:30,300
figure it out. 
He's a, he's a character. 

46
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:32,300
He is, he's Cat. 
And he's back. 

47
00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:34,500
And and it was great really 
great to see him. 

48
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:37,600
And some of the other Discord 
members that we have and some of

49
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,500
the other friends that we have, 
whether that's other through 

50
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:45,100
other discords, our other 
podcasts or related stuff. 

51
00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:48,100
That was, it was really cool. 
It was a good collection of 

52
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:50,700
people in the second coolest 
City in the Northeast. 

53
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:54,200
So there yeah, yeah, behind 
Worcester, Massachusetts. 

54
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,900
But I lied Hertford. 
But yeah, but I want to give a 

55
00:02:56,900 --> 00:03:00,400
shout out to everybody that came
through meeting cat for the 

56
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,600
first time. 
Doping you and your wife. 

57
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:06,300
Brian came down, got to meet him
along with all of the sump. 

58
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:09,500
I talk show people also shot the
like, huge shout-out to AK for 

59
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:12,400
something up. 
All of the events, she was the 

60
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,500
MVP of the week. 
If you're watching us on our 

61
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:19,100
visual formats, there's a 
picture of all of us in our, in 

62
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:23,700
our cosplays, I'm cosplaying now
because I'm an idiot, and I 

63
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:31,000
forgot a third of my cosplay in 
my in my closet because my My 

64
00:03:31,008 --> 00:03:33,800
brain doesn't like to work 
sometimes and I packed 

65
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,300
everything except for my my 
shirts, my tie in my vest. 

66
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:41,000
So I ended up not cosplaying the
second day. 

67
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,400
I did do tsukishima on the first
day, but let's talk about 

68
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,900
Cosplay since I'm bringing this 
up, as our first thing, a cat, I

69
00:03:49,908 --> 00:03:52,500
know you cosplay to who did you 
cosplay, as? 

70
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:56,100
And let's say, we like satisfied
with, like, how it came out 

71
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:59,400
because I thought your cosplay 
was pretty dope, especially your

72
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,700
second one. 
I was sick. 

73
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:04,800
Yeah, yeah. 
So my first one is actually 

74
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,700
cause played one of my, one of 
my favorite D&D characters. 

75
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:14,200
Mainly because of the D & D lab 
streams and podcasts, all that I

76
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,899
cosplayed as my character 
Dillion death rich and I did 

77
00:04:19,899 --> 00:04:22,000
that. 
So funny story about the 

78
00:04:22,007 --> 00:04:29,600
cosplay. 
I forgot to mark my staff as 

79
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:34,000
part of my like Part of my 
baggage, that Allah wills it. 

80
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:38,700
So when I actually got back to 
the TSA line, they were like you

81
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:41,500
can't take that back there. 
And I looked at the top and we 

82
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:45,200
were like 15 minutes before 
we're about to afford it. 

83
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:52,100
So I ran back to the to check 
baggage, I was like, hey can you

84
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:56,500
put this in check baggage for me
and remember like, no and, you 

85
00:04:56,500 --> 00:05:00,000
know, like you gotta figure out 
a way to like, put that away and

86
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,500
I'm like Shit. 
So I just like to go to trash it

87
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:07,800
ring back and I was like I'll 
find another fucking books 

88
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:16,200
that's New York, I didn't and 
like my my cosplay was mostly 

89
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,400
like uncomplete for the first 
day because that that staff had 

90
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,100
a lot of shit on it and I was 
like oh fuck now I gotta get 

91
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:28,200
another bow staff and put some 
shit on. 

92
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,300
It wasn't really opposed to have
those of bucking. 

93
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:38,800
Walking stick but semantics, the
second day I the second day was 

94
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,300
the most fun that I got blade 
because I cosplayed Nico from 

95
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:46,900
non bukka. 
The, the I think it's either the

96
00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:52,800
second or the third lowest rated
show as one of our, as a reviews

97
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,400
Go songs and it's still one of 
my favorite shows of all time. 

98
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:00,800
So I was like, you know what? 
Fuck it. 

99
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:08,100
Beware this and oh my God, that 
was one of the most interesting 

100
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:10,800
days I've ever had at a 
convention in my life. 

101
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:15,000
Because what, I went, I was 
expecting nobody to understand, 

102
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,300
who I was expecting people to be
like, what the fuck is that 

103
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:23,600
dude, wearing? 
And like, the, the response was 

104
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,200
overwhelming. 
In fact, the first day, because 

105
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,700
we took an Uber from, from my 
hotel, which is like three 

106
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:32,800
blocks, Locked away from the 
convention. 

107
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:38,500
And I forgot about that when I 
got out of the Uber, I do not a 

108
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:44,200
bike past me like all like 
barely almost ran me over and, 

109
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,500
like, stopped next to me and he 
started cat calling me, and 

110
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:53,500
because I had the mascot, right?
So I was like, oh, thanks, dude,

111
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:57,700
I can't, I can't believe I 
didn't know that my ass look 

112
00:06:57,700 --> 00:06:59,300
good and then it was like, oh, 
shit. 

113
00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:09,400
And Exactly. 
And then I went in and we just 

114
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:14,500
And I met up with you guys and 
like, you guys saw like two or 

115
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:19,500
three of them, but, like, two or
three people, I think, over over

116
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:22,700
the hold over that whole day, 
eight or nine. 

117
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:26,600
People came up and took pictures
of with me because like, non 

118
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,200
bucko was like, one of their 
favorite anime if not their 

119
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,400
favorite anime, but bad taste. 
It's common wall when people 

120
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,900
have bad taste. 
Yeah, yeah, that's a lot to me. 

121
00:07:37,900 --> 00:07:42,500
But yeah, fair enough but like, 
the thing is, like, they were 

122
00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:47,800
extremely excited like they and 
another thing is, like, a lot of

123
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:53,800
them were were neurodivergent 
like from just being able to see

124
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,700
them because I saw the with it 
act because my wife is 

125
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:04,800
neurodivergent also, she's she's
on the autism spectrum so they 

126
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,600
had let's same type of feel or 
they were like Or they were part

127
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,600
of the LGBT community and like 
the the atom a really touched 

128
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,600
them because, you know, there's 
a lot of shipping, there's a 

129
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,800
lot. 
And like, also there there's a 

130
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,900
lot of Sparkle that grabs your 
attention during the show and 

131
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:29,600
even if like the base content of
the show isn't great, like it's 

132
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,100
just a really fun watch to a lot
of people be included. 

133
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:39,400
So I really, I was honestly 
almost really Should buy it 

134
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,000
because you know I'm just a 
cosplayer but like nobody else. 

135
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Cosplayed as any of the 
characters I think you're the 

136
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,100
only non Baca that I saw 
weekend. 

137
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:49,500
Won't be honest. 
Yeah. 

138
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,700
Yeah. 
And I was definitely the only 

139
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:54,100
Nico and I feel like I could 
pull it off. 

140
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:57,700
So it was really well done. 
I give you props on your on your

141
00:08:57,700 --> 00:08:59,500
cosplay. 
Pat I know you. 

142
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:02,200
Cosplayed. 
What did you go as yeah? 

143
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,300
Yes. 
Oh God. 

144
00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:06,500
Yeah my throat is really that 
bad today, huh? 

145
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:13,700
So on I day I cosplayed as Kaji 
its name right from Evangelion. 

146
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,500
I think that's as you watch and 
of evil yet. 

147
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:26,300
No come on I don't want to I 
will maybe when I'm Yeah I don't

148
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:29,300
even have any tonight. 
Yeah, I know I'm going to bed 

149
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:30,800
tonight. 
I am too tired too. 

150
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,200
I'll be watching YouTube tonight
because that way when I fall 

151
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,400
asleep watching it doesn't 
matter. 

152
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,200
You know like I'm not obligated 
to try to keep my eyes open. 

153
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:44,900
Um but yeah, so I cosplayed as 
ecology which was really fun and

154
00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:47,300
helpful on the first day 
especially because when I was 

155
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:50,800
walking past all these lines of 
pissed-off weeds who are trying 

156
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,100
to get into a convention that 
didn't have their wristband. 

157
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:55,700
Yeah, let's talk. 
About that before. 

158
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,200
Wouldn't we could talk about 
that? 

159
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,500
Yeah, well that what I've done, 
I could definitely about that. 

160
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:03,100
Um, but like, you know, I looked
like I was there on business 

161
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:06,400
because I was worried as dress 
pants a shirt and tie. 

162
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,800
I did, I kept my badge in my 
pocket, so they wouldn't be 

163
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,900
suspicious mirror-like. 
Think that I was one of them, 

164
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:16,100
but that, I just basically, like
walked right in, you know, 

165
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:20,400
which, of course, I to be Claire
was supposed to do because I 

166
00:10:20,408 --> 00:10:23,300
already have my pre-screening 
badge done or whatever, but I 

167
00:10:23,308 --> 00:10:26,000
had Al people were get death. 
Giving other people look sir 

168
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,300
being like oh what the hell? 
Yeah like what are you doing? 

169
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:32,700
But yeah so that was that and 
then on Saturday I went as iron 

170
00:10:32,700 --> 00:10:36,100
wood from Ruby. 
He. 

171
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:40,400
I think it went pretty well. 
I saw a couple Ruby cosplayers I

172
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,700
was able to talk to one of them 
that was doing a gender bit 

173
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:48,300
version of a character that is 
like that I command or that iron

174
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:53,100
command so that was really cool.
Got some photos with them and 

175
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:56,100
then yeah the cosplay it Stealth
wasn't great. 

176
00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:59,400
Like, I know I'm throwing away 
the dress shirt, the the dress 

177
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,700
shirt that it came with that. 
I had to wear some buttons fell 

178
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:07,300
off the, when I pulled it out of
the bag that I got it from, but 

179
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:09,700
at the end of the day, they got 
the job done. 

180
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,500
It was a it worked and it was 
fun to talk to a couple of the 

181
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:15,900
Ruby fans that I saw at the 
convention. 

182
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:17,200
And then, yeah. 
Sunday. 

183
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,100
I didn't get to go to the cam, 
but that's all different story. 

184
00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:22,800
So, yeah, Pete, what are you 
wanna would you cosplay as on 

185
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,900
Friday? 
And then we can talk about, I 

186
00:11:24,908 --> 00:11:28,000
guess the Friday. 
Yeah, yeah, what. 

187
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,400
We'll talk about some of our 
maybe the what we didn't like 

188
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,700
about the con afterwards but I 
want to tsukishima from Haiku 

189
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,800
the first day, pretty casual 
cosplay, just were like their 

190
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,600
track their warm-up tracksuit. 
Then the second day, I was 

191
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:47,900
supposed to go as kotaro aka the
manager from Zombieland Saga and

192
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,400
forgot a third of my cosplay. 
So I'm doing that right now. 

193
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,100
If you are a visual Watcher, 
speaking of visual washing, we 

194
00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:55,800
are now a video podcast. 
Podcasts on Spotify. 

195
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,200
So if you're watching us on 
Spotify. 

196
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:02,000
Hello. 
So yeah, I was kind of bummed 

197
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,900
but it's not that big of a deal 
to me to be honest. 

198
00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:10,300
I was just mad that I spent 
money on it more than me, not 

199
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:13,200
actually getting able to cosplay
so but they'll meet you. 

200
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:16,700
They'll be future Cummings. 
You poor thing you got to be 

201
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:20,600
comfortable at a convention. 
This is this is pretty comfy. 

202
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,700
I'm not gonna lie. 
It's just like a, I mean our 

203
00:12:23,700 --> 00:12:25,600
dress shirts like every day. 
Work and whatever. 

204
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,100
So, like and bow ties are a 
million times more comfy than a 

205
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,100
normal tie. 
So it's actually a pretty, it's 

206
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:36,700
a pretty easy cause played 
pretty comfy and I just really 

207
00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:38,300
enjoyed the character. 
I thought I could pull it off 

208
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:40,800
and I wish I could show people 
but I'm a show-off now. 

209
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,200
So but now I get to do the zoom 
thing where like right now you 

210
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,900
can see me like wearing the 
suit, but I'm not wearing any 

211
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:49,500
pants underneath. 
So I'm happy. 

212
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:51,600
I'm comfortable doing the 
recording as well. 

213
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,900
But yeah, those were my plan to 
cosplay as but You know what 

214
00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:58,300
sometimes it doesn't work out 
but but I'll also talk about the

215
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:03,200
actual con. 
Pat brought up as well, the 

216
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,000
logistical nightmare that was 
getting your vaccination card 

217
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:12,500
are your vaccination status like
confirmed at the con and if 

218
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:18,500
you're on social media on 
Friday, you were able to do this

219
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:21,900
ahead of time and get you show 
your vaccination card to get a 

220
00:13:21,908 --> 00:13:24,400
wristband on Wednesday or 
Thursday. 

221
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,800
You can do The head of time and 
people not everybody did that 

222
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,600
because people maybe weren't 
able to and they have the could 

223
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,700
only come in on Friday but the 
lines for the vax thing were up 

224
00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:38,200
to about 4 hours look like so. 
A lot of people got absolutely 

225
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,300
screwed over. 
They had one day passes where 

226
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,000
sometimes you just not able to 
do that, and I felt really bad 

227
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,300
for the people who may be, like,
drove in from wherever, because 

228
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:53,600
this is the only day that they 
could do that type of thing. 

229
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,900
And I stood in line with Brian 
for almost 2 hours. 

230
00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:59,700
I did mine on Thursday but 
Brian, he's one of the guys, you

231
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:02,400
couldn't get into town until 
7:00 on Thursday. 

232
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,300
So he missed a cutoff for 
Thursday. 

233
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:07,200
So, Kat, I know you wait in 
line, tell me about your whore 

234
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,300
experience of that. 
Oh, so for me. 

235
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,600
Oh my God. 
So I didn't know that. 

236
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,500
We could actually do it on on 
Thursday. 

237
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,900
I probably should have been, I 
probably should have inferred 

238
00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:24,200
that kills like you know, people
want to get into the car into 

239
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:32,800
the Yeah, check my email next 
time yeah but for sure anytime 

240
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:38,100
there's a convention up, I will 
check my email a lot more, but I

241
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:40,800
was like, you know what? 
Let's do it. 

242
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:49,500
And then I went with you and 
with Pete and Pat or know what 

243
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:51,800
Pete? 
And Brian Ryan. 

244
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,900
Yeah. 
Sorry, Kobe Bryant Or maybe 

245
00:14:55,900 --> 00:15:00,600
because it right. 
I'm not sure but like we went to

246
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:08,400
We went to the convention, we 
waited in Lon and it was while 

247
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,000
line moved a lot quicker. 
The first time. 

248
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,800
And then my wife called me, she 
was like, Hey I don't feel 

249
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,600
comfortable going to the salon 
and then I was like, oh God, 

250
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,300
we're gonna have to come back 
later. 

251
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:27,200
So I went back and and I went 
back to her met up with her, we 

252
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:32,100
went back to the convention and 
then the line had quadrupled. 

253
00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:35,600
So At the first time the line 
was around the corner from the 

254
00:15:35,608 --> 00:15:37,100
convention. 
Like it was around the 

255
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:41,500
convention at this point, the 
that line that was around the 

256
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:45,900
corner from the mentioned, had 
snaked around back up around 

257
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:53,300
like Heist one block and then 
sneak around and back up another

258
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,800
building. 
So we had to walk from one 

259
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,900
building From the convention 
from the the building where the 

260
00:16:01,908 --> 00:16:05,900
convention is to another 
building, and then go into that 

261
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:08,800
line. 
Go from that all the way back 

262
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:14,200
around over to the over to the 
convention building, get back 

263
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:20,100
over to the over to the the 
odors of the convention building

264
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:24,400
we get like maybe halfway around
the first line. 

265
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,200
The third flan is facing the 
back of the community building, 

266
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,500
which if you've ever been To to 
the Japs Convention Center on 

267
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:36,800
that side where we were is where
like there's an intersection and

268
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,000
there's water. 
So we were facing that, bro, 

269
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,600
you're confusing me. 
And I was there, okay. 

270
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:48,200
So let's say that the basically 
the line for my, what I walked 

271
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,600
past it, which was earlier into 
the very early into the 

272
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,400
afternoon. 
Because I came a little bit 

273
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,100
later on the first day because I
had some work to do before hand,

274
00:16:57,100 --> 00:17:04,400
but it was Yes. 
Like in four blocks long that 

275
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,400
yet self and wrapped around 
another block, so it probably 

276
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,599
would have if it was like a 
straight line, it probably would

277
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,599
have gone up 10 but I probably 
would've gone up to like like 

278
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:13,900
45th. 
Therefore, I would say it's 

279
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:16,599
about I would say it's about it 
was about half a mile long on 

280
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:21,599
the street and then inside of 
like the actual parking lot of 

281
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:23,700
it, I would say is probably 
close to another half a mile. 

282
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:25,599
So it's about a mile long of 
line. 

283
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,400
That was maybe one at a time. 
It was pretty. 

284
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:31,200
Slow. 
Yeah. 

285
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:37,600
And like so after we had gotten 
to like, basically, like over 

286
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,000
half of the line from war from 
my understanding because it's a 

287
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,100
longer line inside but Rapper. 
We've got half the line, the 

288
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:52,000
line where we were had stopped 
because apparently they had, 

289
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,400
they would needed to get the 
people that were on the other 

290
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,600
block out. 
Because the police and people 

291
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,100
that were like, people that were
walking were complaining. 

292
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,300
And somebody from the NYPD said 
that, you need to get these 

293
00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:11,900
people out from this from this 
block, and put them towards the 

294
00:18:11,900 --> 00:18:16,300
and get them over towards the 
However, it was like get them 

295
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:18,600
into the convention or wherever 
you need to get them. 

296
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:24,700
So our lines stop for solid hour
because they were getting 

297
00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:28,400
because they were getting into 
the committed first. 

298
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,400
Yeah, it was good. 
Logistical nightmare to the fact

299
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,400
where they like they were 
sending out emails like hey this

300
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,900
is our plan of attack for 
tomorrow. 

301
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:41,500
I'm like you need to do the plan
of attack for right now. 

302
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,800
It was it was insane. 
And then Not only that but like 

303
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,400
by the time that we actually got
to, by the time, our line 

304
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,400
started moving. 
Apparently, they had learned 

305
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,600
something and they were like, 
okay, people with badges are 

306
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,500
going here, people without 
badges are going there. 

307
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:06,900
People with a one-day pass or 
going here, people that are 

308
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:09,800
looking for tickets because 
apparently, they were selling 

309
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:15,500
tickets at the door still. 
Yes, our joy there and yeah. 

310
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:18,800
Yeah. 
And then one of the craziest 

311
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:24,200
things that happened was 
somebody went to Party City and 

312
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:30,200
got a bag like a got a got a 
bunch of the like the vaccine 

313
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:36,600
card bad like or enlist fans. 
Yep and walked and walked around

314
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,400
I was selling them for $5. 
A pop and I was like that's not 

315
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,400
going to work if your wedding in
this goddamn lawn for that long 

316
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,300
did. 
Like and people try to do it and

317
00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:50,500
apparently they got kicked out 
of the con and as they should 

318
00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:55,400
off for good. 
Like and everybody was like, 

319
00:19:55,900 --> 00:20:01,000
you're a fucking idiot and he 
was and he was walking around 

320
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,800
saying five dollars to five 
hours. 

321
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:09,900
It's like 30 degrees outside 
like he he took a shot and he 

322
00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:11,600
did it but he's still a piece of
shit. 

323
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,300
Yeah. 
So I mean if you can't tell the 

324
00:20:14,300 --> 00:20:17,700
line was in Insane. 
Brian waited over three hours. 

325
00:20:17,700 --> 00:20:21,300
I know some people weighed close
to four, but that was like four 

326
00:20:21,300 --> 00:20:23,200
and a half. 
As I just, I just hated that the

327
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,100
fact that like they had one 
line, one entrance. 

328
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:29,700
And then the next day that they 
had like four, I'm like, why 

329
00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:32,000
couldn't you do this? 
The first time type of thing. 

330
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,800
It was like, you're literally 
tried to get tens of thousand 

331
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,400
people through one door for me, 
I had the Press badge for my 

332
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,900
first ever event, and I walked 
it in one second. 

333
00:20:41,900 --> 00:20:46,400
So it was prayer. 
I'll just like, How poorly 

334
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:51,700
logistically ran the first day 
was cannot, it was like, whoever

335
00:20:51,700 --> 00:20:54,000
was running the kind made seem 
like they've never ran a 

336
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,700
convention before. 
Because they've held when they 

337
00:20:57,700 --> 00:21:00,100
did New York Comic Con, they had
the same thing. 

338
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:03,600
You had to have proof of Acts 
and order to enter and that was 

339
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,200
like an hour weight that has 
told me to get the vaccine thing

340
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:12,500
because he went and so just like
how you had an event similar to 

341
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:16,900
this and you weren't able to 
Really handle the logistics of 

342
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:19,200
it made no sense. 
I do feels like Staffing, but it

343
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,100
didn't seem like Staffing 
because the second day was 

344
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:23,200
perfectly fine. 
So I was just like really 

345
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,400
baffling but I think we should 
move away from the - maybe we 

346
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,600
should start talking about the 
positive. 

347
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,700
Once we actually got into the 
convention. 

348
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:35,700
What we're saying? 
I was right - I'm Patti. 

349
00:21:36,900 --> 00:21:40,100
Yeah, because I have so much 
more positive but I definitely 

350
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:44,600
want to bring up at least one - 
that I felt at least. 

351
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:48,100
This was talked about by a bunch
of other people on Twitter and 

352
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:51,700
everything else too. 
But artist alley, which is my My

353
00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:54,100
Hub. 
It's where I spend 80% of the 

354
00:21:54,100 --> 00:21:59,300
con the first day to be honest, 
was the best day for it because 

355
00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:05,300
I got to walk around and it was 
crowded but it wasn't like too 

356
00:22:05,300 --> 00:22:08,100
crowded because everyone was 
still waiting Outlaw outside 

357
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:13,300
like, yeah, to be honest, but 
Dad the sky and I can't speak 

358
00:22:13,300 --> 00:22:15,100
for the Third Day by. 
Now, on the second day when I 

359
00:22:15,100 --> 00:22:17,700
tried to walk in there, I was 
just overwhelmed as I said, it 

360
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:20,400
was human thoughts. 
And there's no way you're 

361
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:26,000
getting to stop to look at 
things or to stop by things. 

362
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,500
Or could you even see over 
people? 

363
00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:31,700
I'm lucky, I'm a big tall, dude.
I can see over people but like I

364
00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:33,600
can't imagine being like, I'm 
know. 

365
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,900
Because that's rude. 
But you know like someone this 

366
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:42,800
short and and trying to like see
art that they want to buy. 

367
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,000
Like it's like again the first 
day I was able to get most of 

368
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,100
what I wanted, which I can't 
wait to show you guys later but 

369
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:53,300
like, I don't know. 
It felt like artists alley and 

370
00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:56,000
then also the booths that, you 
know, the vendor booths 

371
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,600
themselves to the the non like, 
the more license stuff. 

372
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,300
All that was on top of itself. 
Like it felt so. 

373
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:06,800
So cramped. 
And it was just, I was sweating 

374
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,500
just walking in there, like, 
just and I sweat a lot anyways, 

375
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:12,300
but like, I just felt 
uncomfortable with it. 

376
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:15,300
I, I know that if frustrated 
frustrated me a lot because 

377
00:23:15,300 --> 00:23:18,400
like, again, I'm glad I got most
of my shopping done on Friday, 

378
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:23,300
but Saturday again, I would have
loved to have bought more art, 

379
00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:27,500
but I went in there bought two 
things and I was like, man, I 

380
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:29,700
can't stand this way. 
I need to go sit down. 

381
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:31,700
I, I kind of just went home 
after that actually because I 

382
00:23:31,708 --> 00:23:34,100
was like, man. 
I feel overwhelmed. 

383
00:23:34,100 --> 00:23:36,300
I'm hot. 
Yeah, is too many people. 

384
00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:38,400
It was really hot in the cotton 
itself. 

385
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,100
Yeah. 
And and I don't understand too, 

386
00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:45,000
because, like this, another 
thing that I saw there were so 

387
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,300
many bathrooms that weren't open
and so many like what you call 

388
00:23:50,300 --> 00:23:53,700
rooms, that weren't panel rooms 
or maybe even panel rooms, but 

389
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:57,500
just rooms for people to sit 
down and that I could never find

390
00:23:57,500 --> 00:24:01,600
a place to sit other than on the
floor in the way or along the 

391
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,100
walls and stuff. 
So that I know that to me is 

392
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:08,800
extremely frustrating because 
I'm very lucky that I am not 

393
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:14,100
physically impaired or disabled 
to the point where that matters 

394
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:15,900
to me at the because, like, at 
the end of the day, I just had 

395
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:22,100
sore feet and tired legs. 
But I don't know if I was, I 

396
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:23,800
would have been. 
I mean I guess I probably would 

397
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,500
have gotten priority seating or 
whatever. 

398
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:29,000
But you know what, why do, I why
should they have to ask for that

399
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000
one? 
Again, it just seems like this 

400
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,300
is not definitely not the 
biggest convention that Javits 

401
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:36,000
is it. 
Held in terms of like maybe it 

402
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,900
is but it's not like 
significantly bigger than 

403
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:43,600
anything else they are at. 
Yeah so I don't I don't think 

404
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:48,100
that this that again we can move
on because that's like a whole 

405
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:50,200
other issue you talk about for 
20 minutes but it just felt like

406
00:24:50,208 --> 00:24:55,700
there was so many tight panels 
to that like why were the rooms 

407
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:57,500
so small? 
Why weren't they double the 

408
00:24:57,500 --> 00:24:58,900
size? 
And then you know what, who 

409
00:24:58,900 --> 00:25:00,800
cares about having a half-empty 
paneled room? 

410
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,600
Just because the panel doesn't 
do well, you know, like, why is 

411
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:09,000
I don't even like In peace. 
Why is One Piece not on the main

412
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,800
stage? 
Yeah yeah episode one thousand 

413
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,500
that was not on the main stage 
or in multiple rooms like what 

414
00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:17,600
the fuck. 
Like we'll just in general. 

415
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,600
The on Saturday they had Pat's 
camera. 

416
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:29,200
There we go. 
Yeah they had almost thought we 

417
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,600
could transition this into the 
things I enjoyed because one 

418
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,500
things I really enjoyed with the
main stage panels. 

419
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,100
I didn't get to see already, see
World on Friday. 

420
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:41,500
But from what I heard the pain 
was incredible and on Saturday, 

421
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:47,300
I was able to see Chris a bot 
who does Vegeta and I'm blanking

422
00:25:47,300 --> 00:25:50,100
out the top of the Sean 
something who does not wish him.

423
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:53,800
Oh yeah, he does the voice of 
Goku, the English dub of Goku, 

424
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,200
and that was wonderful. 
And then that ended at 3:15. 

425
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,600
And then the next event wasn't 
until 8:00 and like you could 

426
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,500
utilize so much of the space 
that you have. 

427
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,100
Have available. 
This is my also one of my major 

428
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:11,400
criticisms of Crunchyroll Expo 
which is also run by 

429
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,100
Crunchyroll. 
Obviously and Anime NYC is also 

430
00:26:14,100 --> 00:26:20,100
run by Crunchyroll is while 
there are a lot of panels there.

431
00:26:20,700 --> 00:26:26,000
They had the opportunity for so 
much more and what it seems like

432
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,700
they like to do is to control 
the content that they produce at

433
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:33,200
these conventions. 
And not give not shine light on 

434
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,100
smaller communities. 
Cool, that we saw like was it 

435
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,000
begin? 
The robot podcast was there and 

436
00:26:40,900 --> 00:26:43,500
the other guy on the box and I 
think in the robot was there as 

437
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:44,700
well. 
They were there on Friday. 

438
00:26:44,700 --> 00:26:49,200
I think so it was cool that they
were able to Showcase some of 

439
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,400
these as well, but like, there 
were gaps were rooms weren't 

440
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,400
being used, not just the main 
stage. 

441
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:59,200
There were gaps, were rooms, 
were being used for hours and it

442
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,500
kind of drives me crazy words. 
Just like let people sign up for

443
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:05,500
these like, panels that At your 
unused. 

444
00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:08,000
It's more content for you and it
makes it. 

445
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,300
So it's not like 90,000 people 
are in some Concourse or 

446
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:13,200
whatever because there's other 
stuff going on. 

447
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,600
But I do want to say that the 
pails that I went to was 

448
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,700
probably the Highlight for me 
just in general. 

449
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:28,800
I thought the content that they 
did have was high quality, it 

450
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,900
was entertaining. 
It was fun. 

451
00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:33,600
I did it. 
Like, I wish they utilize, I 

452
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,600
just wish they Just the space 
better because like things like 

453
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,800
the berserk panel. 
I went to, I was an hour and 15 

454
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:47,800
minutes early. and, The room is 
already like half-full. 

455
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,100
I'm like, you have like a mural 
for Mira. 

456
00:27:52,100 --> 00:27:55,600
They're like, you know, that 
this is going to be a very big 

457
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:00,300
panel and it was full, like, 35 
minutes before the panel 

458
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:02,700
started. 
I'm like, how do you not realize

459
00:28:02,700 --> 00:28:05,500
like these certain panels? 
And this isn't the only example 

460
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:09,300
that just one that I was 
personally there for These 

461
00:28:09,300 --> 00:28:12,200
panels are going to be full and 
you have the space to utilize. 

462
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,100
So I do also think that the 
content that was there was 

463
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:16,800
great. 
I just I wish to utilize the 

464
00:28:16,808 --> 00:28:18,300
better Pat. 
What was some of the favorite 

465
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:19,800
things that you enjoyed about 
the con? 

466
00:28:20,900 --> 00:28:23,700
Yeah. 
So I guess let's talk about some

467
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:25,900
of the positives the first off 
getting to see off all my 

468
00:28:25,900 --> 00:28:30,600
friends and people have known 
for some four year a year now or

469
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,000
months, whatever. 
The amount of time is it was 

470
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,500
great to get to know people get 
to meet some some people that I 

471
00:28:38,508 --> 00:28:40,700
did not Expecting me as well. 
So that was really cool. 

472
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,100
I'll quickly just show the art 
that I got especially now that I

473
00:28:44,108 --> 00:28:47,800
fixed my camera. 
It sounds like first, I'll show 

474
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,700
these to these. 
I was able to find these little 

475
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,000
pop-up figures that switch back 
and forth of Pete's cosplay and 

476
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,300
get slapped by best girl. 
So good, so good. 

477
00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:04,400
And it's like their zombie. 
You can't really tell the 

478
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,500
details of this, but I'm sorry 
for this great audio content by 

479
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:12,000
the way, fantastic idea. 
Yeah, thanks Pat. 

480
00:29:12,900 --> 00:29:17,400
The they have like the zombie 
makeup on one side and then Anon

481
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,000
zombie on the other. 
I was so tempted to buy the full

482
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,200
set but I said to myself, no, 
I'm getting best girl and 

483
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,400
manager. 
So that's what I did with that 

484
00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:30,200
found one of the most adorable 
stickers, I think I've ever seen

485
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,600
in my life, it's a little Yoshi 
riding with Samus riding and 

486
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,100
like a Chibi art style. 
So that'll get stuck on my my 

487
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:41,000
work computer. 
Next to me and then I got a 

488
00:29:41,008 --> 00:29:46,600
couple posters first of my boy 
Kenshin in Japanese water style 

489
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,300
or watercolor Style. 
It's not hand drawn on this 

490
00:29:51,300 --> 00:29:53,900
page. 
It's a print but it's still the 

491
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:56,200
initial. 
First print was on the 

492
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:02,200
watercolor style obviously like 
by hand same way, but this one 

493
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:06,100
of Weiss from Ruby, you know, 
best girl chilling back there. 

494
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:09,400
This was great. 
Again, another one that the the 

495
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:14,300
style and they like colors 
really bloom in this art style 

496
00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:16,300
because it's what Allah black 
and white and then they added 

497
00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:21,700
that like, red engine I guess 
people so it looks good. 

498
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,900
Let's see, a couple more 
posters. 

499
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:27,700
I got got this cutesy like 
chibi. 

500
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:30,200
Ruby one which again, shows off 
a lot of the characters 

501
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,600
personalities really well. 
Like I know Lake up there be in 

502
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,100
a cat just hanging out. 
If you don't know the show you 

503
00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:41,300
might not get the idea that 
well, but I thought it was 

504
00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:42,900
adorable. 
And then this is probably my 

505
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:45,700
favorite poets that I found of 
the weekend. 

506
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:49,200
This one I have looked at for 
probably 45 minutes and I'm 

507
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,700
still not done, let me see. 
Am I showing it correctly? 

508
00:30:52,700 --> 00:30:58,600
So it was super thrash Cat, 
Super Smash cats V ailment and 

509
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,100
it is literally every character 
in Super Smash Brothers, 

510
00:31:02,100 --> 00:31:07,400
ultimate including we're sort 
their Sora the newest one, the 

511
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,900
final one, it's every single 
character. 

512
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,900
Drawing is like a cat. 
So there's like some of my 

513
00:31:12,900 --> 00:31:14,900
favorites. 
The little Pacman cat is 

514
00:31:14,908 --> 00:31:19,400
adorable. 
There's so many I get I can I 

515
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,400
look I've looked at this and 
I've so you got caught so what 

516
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,000
you're saying for? 
Well I'm here and you go to 

517
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,400
college for the merch for the 
artists alley for. 

518
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,600
I go from artists alley, not 
even, not even merch because I 

519
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,900
died walk down a little bit of 
merch sections and I was like 

520
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:36,100
and it's alright I go for yeah 
this is the the main thing I go 

521
00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:42,700
to cons to see friends and to 
buy Stick art and support other 

522
00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:46,400
people like me who just have a 
lot of passion for you know, 

523
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:48,200
shows that they like and 
everything else like that. 

524
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,800
So I have a ton of wall space 
back here, but I do plan on 

525
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,400
putting these up somehow, I'll 
figure it out, maybe I'll put 

526
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,600
them in, like the background of 
there or there might end up with

527
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,500
my on the ceiling. 
Oh yeah, yeah. 

528
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:03,700
I don't know how well that would
work. 

529
00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:06,400
Unfortunately, the way the 
ceiling is set up. 

530
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:11,900
But yeah, so that's what I loved
about the con that's my main 

531
00:32:11,900 --> 00:32:15,100
thing again. 
Just being able to go out in New

532
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:18,800
York was a lot of fun. 
And we'll talk about that next, 

533
00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:23,700
yes. 
Yeah, the con itself I'm not a 

534
00:32:23,708 --> 00:32:27,600
big panel guy, maybe I was just 
not as into the panels that were

535
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:32,000
available, this Con, But in 
general, I've never been that 

536
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,400
big into that. 
I had so much rather spend the 

537
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,200
time walking around talking to 
friends. 

538
00:32:37,300 --> 00:32:39,200
Seeing what cool. 
Our people have brought to the 

539
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,300
brought to it. 
Seeing a cool cosplay is taking 

540
00:32:41,300 --> 00:32:44,800
photos with people and making 
new friends. 

541
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,000
So that's the that was my goal 
and I did a lot of that. 

542
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,900
That's awesome. 
As you can tell by my voice. 

543
00:32:49,900 --> 00:32:51,500
Yeah. 
So by all of our voice. 

544
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:54,400
Yeah, we're struggling Ikat. 
What were some of your favorite 

545
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,000
things about the con? 
Oh my God. 

546
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,100
So my some of my favorite things
about the convention. 

547
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:08,500
Were so I go to conventions for 
like the crowd interactions. 

548
00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:13,000
I go to like, hang out with 
people in like the board game 

549
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,900
section. 
I go to walk around, see, what 

550
00:33:15,900 --> 00:33:18,400
kind of cosplays people are 
doing course, I go for some of 

551
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:23,700
the merch Force, I go like to 
look at certain things, but one 

552
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:27,600
of my favorite things because 
I'm a little bit of a card 

553
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,400
inert. 
They had a A, they had a group 

554
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:38,300
there called called fucking, I 
think it was like, then pie. 

555
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:42,300
It's called the Senpai Squad, 
Senpai Squad. 

556
00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:44,400
Yes. 
They had a group there called 

557
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:49,200
the same pod squad and they had 
two different places and the 

558
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,800
convention, they had a place 
where they were to place in the 

559
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,700
back of the artists alley Where 
well not artists alley but where

560
00:33:56,700 --> 00:33:59,100
the meet and greets were and 
then they had a place in the 

561
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:04,900
front of the artists alley. 
Both of them had DJ booths and I

562
00:34:04,900 --> 00:34:08,199
was looking at some of the cars,
my favorite one was looking 09, 

563
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:12,000
Lancer. 
It's you who's also your 

564
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,400
favorite too right beside that 
Lancer. 

565
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:20,800
Was also like a 07 Corolla and 
it was like one of the weirdest 

566
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,699
ones because they had a GTR 
Supras, they had like, old 

567
00:34:24,699 --> 00:34:30,900
tuners that were like, so like 
iconic and then you had Lancer, 

568
00:34:30,900 --> 00:34:35,800
which is extremely iconic. 
One of the most prominent rally 

569
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,199
cars in existence, and then you 
had a fucking girl, I loved it. 

570
00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:44,699
It was like one of the most mid 
cars for guess what? 

571
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,699
One of the most mid characters 
because around that car was 

572
00:34:47,699 --> 00:34:51,900
Deco. 
So of the Deccan car was insane.

573
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,600
What is it? 
Like he's 30 Deku figures in his

574
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:01,600
car like and welded. 
Yes, it was in Saying it's like 

575
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,700
TJ spots to right where they 
had. 

576
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,700
Yeah, that would that that can 
we interject real quick. 

577
00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:09,100
So Pete and I am the first day 
together. 

578
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,800
We're trying to find each other.
You're like, hey because you 

579
00:35:11,808 --> 00:35:14,400
know I showed up a little or we 
walked at different times. 

580
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:21,000
I was like Hey so where are you?
And I told him to meet me at the

581
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:27,000
car the anime cars with the 
waifus and the DJ and we did not

582
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,600
find out until after we were 
both like where the fuck are 

583
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,600
you? 
To each other, that there were 

584
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,400
two sections that happen. 
And I'm a wife who cars with the

585
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,600
DJ in those in the cotton that 
were, I'm like the opposite 

586
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,500
sides. 
So I just thought that that's 

587
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:44,600
always good. 
That was yeah, that was like, it

588
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,200
was like, oh shit. 
Yeah, they do have another DJ 

589
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:53,400
and another set of cringey anime
cars that are cool well blocks 

590
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,400
It was a perfectly balanced as 
all things should be, but yeah. 

591
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,700
Sorry, Kat please, what else did
you see? 

592
00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:11,200
Other than the the cars. 
Oh, the so for this first day 

593
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,000
I've I don't think I actually I 
don't think it was actually able

594
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,800
to meet everybody the first day 
because like first of all you 

595
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,200
know I didn't get into like 
three quarters of the day work 

596
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:27,000
was done but like I was soap it 
out. 

597
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,000
That was like, you know what? 
Fuck it going to the DJ booth 

598
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,600
and I'm fucking dancing because 
like I don't fucking give a shit

599
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,900
anymore. 
So me and my wife, we went over 

600
00:36:36,900 --> 00:36:40,800
to a DJ booth and we just 
started like dancing too. 

601
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,300
Well, I think was the first day 
that we danced to a bunch of 

602
00:36:46,300 --> 00:36:50,100
animated music. 
And then the second day there 

603
00:36:50,100 --> 00:36:55,900
was they started raving and it 
was so fun like the first First 

604
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:59,900
day they were doing like some 
anime music and then some like, 

605
00:36:59,900 --> 00:37:04,400
you know, generic dance music, 
you know, like cupid shuffle 

606
00:37:04,500 --> 00:37:11,500
Electric, Slide stuff like that.
And it was just, it was fun all 

607
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:15,900
around. 
But other than that, like, being

608
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:19,800
upstairs playing games with some
of the people that was actually 

609
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,400
kind of fun. 
I'd actually didn't really get 

610
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,400
to play many games because like 
it was full. 

611
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:30,000
And they didn't have any more 
room for any for like all of the

612
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,500
games they had like this is this
is going into like a really good

613
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:37,700
thing in a really bad thing for 
the con because like you had so 

614
00:37:37,700 --> 00:37:40,800
many people like there were 
people lining the walls that 

615
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,600
wanted to play games. 
That some of them had like or 

616
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,900
magic tournament. 
Son of them had like their full 

617
00:37:46,900 --> 00:37:50,500
magic decks ready and they 
weren't able to get in even 

618
00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:53,200
though they signed up which was 
insane. 

619
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,900
Like they had been waiting all 
that like they A full magic 

620
00:37:56,900 --> 00:38:02,100
tournament ready to go and they 
only had like the top room and 

621
00:38:02,100 --> 00:38:06,500
they only had half of the top 
room because the other half was 

622
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:11,800
saved for photographs in the 
back of it and food on the sides

623
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,100
like that. 
Was it like it was one of the 

624
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:23,200
most Botched magic tournaments. 
I've seen in a while and then 

625
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:34,800
but other than that What the 
last thing that I really, really

626
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:41,000
loved about the convention? 
I think the first day was just 

627
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,600
me and barely walking around and
seeing a lot of the cosplays 

628
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,700
that she really liked, because 
she isn't watch that much anime,

629
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,500
and she would just go around and
just like freak out at some of 

630
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:54,500
the animated, some of the 
cosplayers that fancy and 

631
00:38:54,500 --> 00:38:56,600
sometimes she'd walk up to him, 
take a picture. 

632
00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:03,800
And if she like for first 
Convention, as bad of an 

633
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:08,800
experience, as that convention 
was, it was a really, really fun

634
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,400
convention. 
Yes. 

635
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,500
Yes. 
And before we move away from the

636
00:39:12,500 --> 00:39:16,700
non constant off, I just want to
undo like a 90 second review 

637
00:39:16,700 --> 00:39:19,800
with cat, we both were able to 
see the premiere of bell. 

638
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,200
The guy. 
So it's from the director who 

639
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,200
did like boring the Beast wolf 
children's summer Wars Mirai. 

640
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,100
And I just want to say that, I 
thought this movie was 

641
00:39:31,100 --> 00:39:32,800
beautiful. 
It was fantastic. 

642
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,300
I thought I was going to be like
a Beauty and the Beast style of 

643
00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:40,700
movie and I kind of was, but 
they kind of flipped it on its 

644
00:39:40,700 --> 00:39:43,200
head and then flipped it again. 
It was a wonderful movie. 

645
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,200
I give it a 9 out of 10 cat. 
What's your quick review on 

646
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,800
bail? 
Oh my God, Bell, like you said, 

647
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,400
it was a beautiful. 
I love the way that the directed

648
00:39:54,400 --> 00:40:00,700
The Animation because because of
the to dip, are we doing like 

649
00:40:00,700 --> 00:40:03,100
spoiler-free? 
Let me absolutely spoil it for 

650
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:03,900
you. 
Okay. 

651
00:40:04,100 --> 00:40:09,400
So some of the animation quick, 
a quick night like whatever and 

652
00:40:09,900 --> 00:40:13,000
Cameras bugging. 
Oh, okay sorry. 

653
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:16,900
Um, some of the animation is 
done very, very like actually 

654
00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:20,500
all of the animation is an 
extremely well, the music is 

655
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:25,300
amazing and the character growth
in the movie. 

656
00:40:25,300 --> 00:40:30,800
It felt like I was watching a 
12-episode series and like in 

657
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:37,400
like two hours and it was like 
it was one of the greatest 

658
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:42,600
things greatest pieces of media.
That That I had consumed and a 

659
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:49,500
long time, not only that but 
during the movie, I was crying 

660
00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:54,400
which is hard for a movie to do.
But Burley was crying like a lot

661
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:59,100
and it was so what was your 
rating of mine? 

662
00:40:59,100 --> 00:41:02,300
Was like a it had to be like at 
it. 

663
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:03,700
Okay. 
Yeah, I got it. 

664
00:41:04,700 --> 00:41:08,000
It got I don't think I like a 
standing ovation but a lot of 

665
00:41:08,008 --> 00:41:10,200
people were clapping. 
I was a big fan of the B-boss 

666
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:13,100
people were crying in a good 
way. 

667
00:41:13,100 --> 00:41:14,600
I'll put that way. 
It was a really fun and 

668
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:20,900
enjoyable film to watch but that
was the actual con itself but 

669
00:41:20,900 --> 00:41:23,600
part of the con is also 
experiencing where you are and 

670
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,800
we were in New York City and it 
was my first time in the big 

671
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,600
city. 
Pat has been there a few times I

672
00:41:30,607 --> 00:41:34,800
believe and I'm not entirely 
sure about cat but my first 

673
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,100
experience to a metropolitan 
area of this size. 

674
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:45,500
And we were able to do a lot of 
things together, so I thought we

675
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:47,300
could just go around the room 
and saying like what our 

676
00:41:47,300 --> 00:41:50,600
favorite parts were the 
activities that we did because 

677
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,700
we did do a lot of things 
together, sometimes we did some 

678
00:41:52,700 --> 00:41:54,700
solo stuff but whatever. 
So Pat what was some of the 

679
00:41:54,700 --> 00:41:57,400
favorite things that we got to 
do in New York City outside of 

680
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,800
the con? 
Oh yeah, well, I know I was 

681
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,300
there partly on work as well. 
So I was able to see a bunch of 

682
00:42:04,300 --> 00:42:07,500
my co-workers beat them for the 
first time since I started 

683
00:42:07,500 --> 00:42:09,900
working on my company five 
months ago, so that's pretty 

684
00:42:09,900 --> 00:42:12,000
cool. 
Get to do that again in a few 

685
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:16,000
weeks to so I'll be really 
exciting outside of that. 

686
00:42:16,900 --> 00:42:20,400
I got a lot of bars, a lot of 
great restaurants, a lot of 

687
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:25,700
walking, which was fun. 
I also on my own, I went out to 

688
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:32,100
meet a bunch of my PlayStation 
in like online friends that I've

689
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:34,300
met before met them out on the 
island. 

690
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:39,400
So a terrible hockey game. 
But at least it was fun to be 

691
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,200
with my friends and check out 
the brand new Arena that they 

692
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,200
have and they're basically in 
their Hometown. 

693
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,300
So that was really cool. 
Yeah, really. 

694
00:42:49,300 --> 00:42:55,900
I was just more the every night 
was a Different like experience,

695
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,700
excuse me. 
Um every night was a different 

696
00:42:59,700 --> 00:43:03,500
vibe, you know, every every 
night had its own like ups and 

697
00:43:03,500 --> 00:43:05,600
downs, or swings, Ebbs and 
flows, whatever you want to say.

698
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:11,000
But, um, I do, I so much good 
food and I drank so many 

699
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:18,000
expensive drinks and true and 
yeah the B&B was 8 out of 10. 

700
00:43:18,100 --> 00:43:20,400
Yeah. 
If we could just if it just had 

701
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,500
a working shower then I think it
would have or water pressure 

702
00:43:24,500 --> 00:43:27,400
General water pressure in 
general they even just a shower.

703
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,600
Yeah. 
That you know you felt clean 

704
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,700
after getting out of that would 
have been nice. 

705
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,500
Maybe some better doors and 
insulation. 

706
00:43:36,900 --> 00:43:43,200
So Every time, every time I 
talked or breathe hallway, 

707
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:48,900
couldn't hear me or vice versa. 
But, you know, we may do it was 

708
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,800
very spacious, and not what I 
expected after seeing. 

709
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:58,400
What, how in my opinion. 
How awful the hotels were? 

710
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,400
Yeah, I don't know. 
They looked it looks like it 

711
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,800
would be hell to me. 
Yeah, you'd be was definitely 

712
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,800
the correct Choice. 
Yeah, of course. 

713
00:44:07,500 --> 00:44:11,300
Yeah, even for some of the 
things, is there anything else 

714
00:44:11,300 --> 00:44:13,800
that otherwise I could take it, 
I could take it over. 

715
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,800
Yeah, please take it. 
All right, well, for me, 

716
00:44:17,300 --> 00:44:19,600
Thursday night meeting everybody
for the first time was 

717
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,500
absolutely incredible. 
We were able to meet up at like 

718
00:44:23,500 --> 00:44:27,000
a Mexican restaurant and get 
drinks. 

719
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,400
So we met all of a sudden he 
talked about like 30 people 

720
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:30,900
there that was an absolute 
blast. 

721
00:44:30,900 --> 00:44:33,700
Just after interacting with some
of these people for over two 

722
00:44:33,700 --> 00:44:37,400
years that I got to see them in 
person and it was exactly I 

723
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,500
pictured. 
It Hogs drinks laughter. 

724
00:44:40,500 --> 00:44:44,400
It was a whole bunch of fun. 
What else would we do? 

725
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:46,600
We got like, we did karaoke on 
Saturday. 

726
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,900
That's why I like a lot of our 
throats are just absolutely 

727
00:44:48,900 --> 00:44:51,200
destroyed. 
That was the first time I ever 

728
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,700
did karaoke. 
But that was nice. 

729
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,500
Last patted Fly Me to the Moon. 
He did a Vita. 

730
00:44:57,500 --> 00:44:59,100
I did. 
I'm on a boat. 

731
00:44:59,100 --> 00:45:01,800
Captain John Mayer. 
Yes. 

732
00:45:02,100 --> 00:45:06,000
And he had no me and Pat did 
Viva la Vida. 

733
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:07,400
Yes. 
Was fun. 

734
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,200
Yeah so we had a whole whole 
Squad. 

735
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,800
We got Korean BBQ on Sunday. 
That was all my God. 

736
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,100
I was my first time getting that
was my first time ever getting 

737
00:45:17,100 --> 00:45:21,700
Korean barbecue and now I sent 
for pork shoulder because I was 

738
00:45:21,700 --> 00:45:23,100
like my favorite meat of all 
time. 

739
00:45:23,100 --> 00:45:25,000
Now that was absolutely 
incredible. 

740
00:45:25,300 --> 00:45:28,600
We did so many fun things we 
didn't have kind of like a 

741
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,000
Horror Story on Saturday that 
hopefully Brian doesn't get too 

742
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,400
mad at them telling them, but I 
thought was hilarious went to a 

743
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:39,900
bar and the bouncer. 
Brian's ID and he wasn't able to

744
00:45:39,900 --> 00:45:43,700
get in and then they tell me, 
like, step out of the line and 

745
00:45:43,700 --> 00:45:46,700
we were all in the bar, except 
for Brian, the because Brian was

746
00:45:46,700 --> 00:45:48,900
like, last in line. 
It's like, where the hell is 

747
00:45:48,900 --> 00:45:50,700
Brian? 
Go outside. 

748
00:45:50,700 --> 00:45:53,500
Find Bryce together, I the 
bouncer took my ID. 

749
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:58,700
This being Brian is and of age 
individual from New York area of

750
00:45:58,700 --> 00:46:01,400
age from New York, with the 
proper ID. 

751
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,100
Yeah, proper ID. 
So this is a club to, was it a 

752
00:46:04,107 --> 00:46:05,500
bar? 
So maybe that might have been 

753
00:46:05,500 --> 00:46:07,000
with the issue was but I don't 
know. 

754
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:08,900
The guy likes can my ID from 
kinetic. 

755
00:46:08,900 --> 00:46:13,800
Yeah, it was like, oh, you know,
this, your, you know, it's your 

756
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,700
address or like he's, he caught 
was gave me a weird vibe, but 

757
00:46:16,700 --> 00:46:19,100
it's like, it was, it was like, 
where you can literally, you can

758
00:46:19,100 --> 00:46:21,700
literally see that glass. 
So, yeah, we need to talk to One

759
00:46:21,700 --> 00:46:24,700
bouncer, to talk to another 
bouncer, to talk to the line 

760
00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:28,500
manager to talk to the owner, to
talk to the, this guy ends up 

761
00:46:28,500 --> 00:46:31,400
getting Brian's ID back. 
But that was the end of that 

762
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,800
night instead of going out to 
the bars and getting some 

763
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,900
drinks. 
We just had to like we just like

764
00:46:37,300 --> 00:46:39,500
You know what? 
After this, like I don't want 

765
00:46:39,500 --> 00:46:41,800
any more drama tonight. 
So that was Saturday. 

766
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,800
So that was like now just like a
story to tell but at the time it

767
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,000
was really frustrating. 
Yeah. 

768
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,700
But man just like just seeing 
everybody again or not even 

769
00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:54,600
though I've seen you pad and 
seeing Emily and has but like 

770
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,600
I'm meaning everybody again and 
just having a good time was just

771
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,000
like it was everything. 
I wanted more, what a great 

772
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,100
group of people that we were 
with no drama. 

773
00:47:05,100 --> 00:47:08,600
Just hugs and laughs and cries 
and And tears of like, you know,

774
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,600
missing each other after after 
the fact. 

775
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,200
But that's how you know, you 
have a great Community is when 

776
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:18,700
you guys can come together and a
moment's just you hug each other

777
00:47:18,700 --> 00:47:20,700
and it's just like you're 
talking to each other on 

778
00:47:20,700 --> 00:47:22,700
Discord. 
So that was something that I'll 

779
00:47:22,700 --> 00:47:25,500
never forget. 
And I think that this is why I 

780
00:47:25,900 --> 00:47:29,600
am so fond of this community, 
the anime community in general, 

781
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,700
where everybody is so welcoming 
we had I mean just think of like

782
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,900
the group that we had a bunch of
different races we had. 

783
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:40,300
What ages? 
From 21 to 40 in our group. 

784
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:44,300
Everybody was having a great 
conversations, married single. 

785
00:47:44,300 --> 00:47:47,300
It didn't matter like everybody 
was there together just having 

786
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:49,700
like a wonderful time and 
everybody was perfect. 

787
00:47:49,700 --> 00:47:52,500
So just shout out to everybody 
in our community. 

788
00:47:52,500 --> 00:47:56,100
The Senpai talk community that 
we were able to meet in. 

789
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,300
Just just have a wonderful time 
cat. 

790
00:47:58,300 --> 00:48:00,500
What were some of your favorite 
things? 

791
00:48:00,500 --> 00:48:04,000
Outside of the cond? 
Oh my God. 

792
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:10,000
So, outside of the kind, 
Thursday, I had to say like 

793
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:14,700
meeting everybody was so was 
like, I wasn't, I was not sure 

794
00:48:14,700 --> 00:48:18,600
what to expect. 
I knew that meeting Pete and Pat

795
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,500
was going to be really fun. 
I knew that meeting has was 

796
00:48:21,500 --> 00:48:24,800
going to be interesting. 
I didn't know what to expect 

797
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,900
from Brian, but I knew he'd be 
welcoming but like everybody 

798
00:48:27,900 --> 00:48:29,900
else. 
I never met before, except for 

799
00:48:29,900 --> 00:48:32,600
Barbara Lee, but I mean that not
in real life. 

800
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:38,300
But like yeah, like I wasn't 
Wasn't sure what to expect from 

801
00:48:38,300 --> 00:48:41,100
everybody else. 
And then like I get there and 

802
00:48:41,100 --> 00:48:46,200
everybody's just like, I'm like 
I wasn't even. 

803
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,700
I didn't even know what these 
guys guys who these guys names 

804
00:48:49,700 --> 00:48:54,600
were and like they were just so 
welcoming and it made it made me

805
00:48:54,600 --> 00:49:00,400
feel warm maberley and feel 
welcome and a community that she

806
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:06,200
largely never met before which 
is unheard of for her. 

807
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,200
So she she Played hentai games 
with us. 

808
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:09,600
That one time. 
There's no rush. 

809
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,500
Yeah I'm kidding. 
I'm kidding. 

810
00:49:12,500 --> 00:49:15,800
That's all. 
It was very nice to meet her. 

811
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,700
Glad to see the person that the 
the wonderful person that 

812
00:49:18,700 --> 00:49:20,000
supports you. 
So there you go. 

813
00:49:20,300 --> 00:49:28,200
Yeah, we like on Friday night. 
That was that was really fun. 

814
00:49:29,500 --> 00:49:32,300
I don't think we met two too 
much. 

815
00:49:32,300 --> 00:49:36,500
I think we met once for note 
Friday night was the night that 

816
00:49:36,500 --> 00:49:39,000
you guys. 
For steaks, everybody else went 

817
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,800
for something else and then me 
and Burly would to all my God. 

818
00:49:43,900 --> 00:49:48,500
So there is this 
hole-in-the-wall Ramen place 

819
00:49:48,500 --> 00:49:53,700
called hand-pulled noodles too 
and it was amazing. 

820
00:49:53,700 --> 00:49:56,600
Like it's very very small. 
It's like you're being packed in

821
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,600
the Sardine Can but like God for
Yeti had been there and they had

822
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:06,900
those pictures on the wall and 
like the it is like a five-star.

823
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:13,100
Place to eat New York City, like
top pick, we went there the 

824
00:50:13,100 --> 00:50:19,500
noodles, there were life. 
Changing my God, like, Burly has

825
00:50:19,500 --> 00:50:23,500
been trying to say that she 
would go back to New York City, 

826
00:50:23,500 --> 00:50:26,600
just for those noodles. 
And I was like, we don't have 

827
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:32,100
the money for that, but I, I 
almost agree with you but like, 

828
00:50:33,300 --> 00:50:38,600
We like that night was just a 
night where we explored 

829
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,800
everything as much as we could, 
and then we met up with you guys

830
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:47,000
afterwards and we went to wait. 
No. 

831
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,300
That was I think that was 
Thursday night. 

832
00:50:49,300 --> 00:50:52,700
We went to a bar Thursday night 
that bar. 

833
00:50:53,000 --> 00:51:00,500
She got track. 
And I wasn't laughing about it 

834
00:51:00,500 --> 00:51:03,500
then, but I'm laughing about it.
Now, I had taken one carrier 

835
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:09,900
back from the park, that was 
unlike 30th Street and 82 40th 

836
00:51:09,900 --> 00:51:15,900
night, like, it was a long walk,
and it was cold, it was rainy. 

837
00:51:15,900 --> 00:51:19,800
But now I can laugh about it. 
My throat isn't but like you 

838
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:25,600
know that it is what it is. 
I think my body just held the 

839
00:51:25,900 --> 00:51:28,000
held the sickness off until I 
got back home. 

840
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:33,200
Yeah, I can feel it on Saturday 
or Sunday and field song. 

841
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:38,000
It's a Monday and I was just 
like here it comes here. 

842
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,000
I'm ready. 
Let's get hos con flu. 

843
00:51:41,500 --> 00:51:47,000
Yeah, meeting all those meet, 
all the neckbeards who just 

844
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,600
never wash that's that's where 
normally pretty good. 

845
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,500
I thought I was pretty good in 
terms of the hygiene. 

846
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,200
I thought it was pretty solid. 
There was definitely the neck 

847
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:59,200
beards were in attendance. 
But yes, but Whenever I was born

848
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:04,000
between, but like, you still be,
so you see, it's still useless 

849
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,600
him around. 
But, hey, that's also half, not 

850
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,200
enough. 
That's all I've got him out of 

851
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,200
the anime fan base. 
But up to this weekend, I will 

852
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,300
say, made me feel a little 
better about being a weave or 

853
00:52:13,300 --> 00:52:14,900
being called the we'd enjoy. 
Yeah. 

854
00:52:14,900 --> 00:52:20,100
It's not the people that I saw 
saw a lot of people kind of 

855
00:52:20,100 --> 00:52:22,900
saying fuck it to the mask 
policy, which was annoying, that

856
00:52:22,900 --> 00:52:26,100
was super annoying. 
It was like, hey bro, either do 

857
00:52:26,100 --> 00:52:29,400
it or do it or leave, you know? 
I don't want to be wearing this 

858
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,800
either but I'm doing we are so 
here we are. 

859
00:52:34,700 --> 00:52:36,900
I didn't see anyone get stopped 
for it well. 

860
00:52:36,900 --> 00:52:40,000
So didn't really watch anyone 
that long either I guess so 

861
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:44,500
maybe they were, I don't know. 
Also more people get stopped for

862
00:52:44,500 --> 00:52:47,800
running in the convention that 
I'd saw get stuff for maths. 

863
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:54,300
Yeah I feel like but 99.9% of 
people most people were wearing 

864
00:52:54,300 --> 00:52:59,800
right for sure I think again. 
It just, it did feel the 

865
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,600
overcrowded but it was, it was 
fun. 

866
00:53:02,900 --> 00:53:06,700
I just wish they again, made it 
more accessible for people who 

867
00:53:06,700 --> 00:53:11,000
aren't as fortunate as like me 
for sure to be able to walk 

868
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,200
around and hold in a hole in a 
pee. 

869
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:19,100
You know, if you want me you 
know or stand on my feet for 

870
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,600
God, what was it on Friday? 
I was standing for eight hours 

871
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:27,100
straight, you know, like yeah or
I sat down at one point to to 

872
00:53:27,100 --> 00:53:29,300
eat with you guys but It was 
only like 30 minutes and I'm 

873
00:53:29,300 --> 00:53:31,500
standing the rest of the day or 
walking to, and from the Kong, 

874
00:53:31,500 --> 00:53:34,100
like, it just that was 
frustrating. 

875
00:53:34,100 --> 00:53:36,600
But again, the rest of it was 
beautiful. 

876
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:41,300
I really so glad I went, I 
forgot a story that I wanted to 

877
00:53:41,300 --> 00:53:43,000
tell that. 
I thought it was hilarious. 

878
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:50,000
I was walking to karaoke and as 
I wasn't able to go to Times 

879
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,400
Square yet, I wanted to check it
out. 

880
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,200
You know, do touristy shit and 
to get the karaoke I could walk 

881
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:55,900
through Times Square. 
So I was walking through Times 

882
00:53:55,900 --> 00:53:59,700
Square on the way to karaoke. 
And there's like this group of 

883
00:53:59,700 --> 00:54:01,700
people that are doing like 
acrobatics himself in are 

884
00:54:01,700 --> 00:54:04,500
looking for people to jump over 
and they're looking for tall 

885
00:54:04,500 --> 00:54:06,500
people. 
And I was just minding my own 

886
00:54:06,500 --> 00:54:08,500
business. 
I was walking down the street 

887
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,200
and my headphones in and they 
were calling out to me, but I 

888
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,000
couldn't hear it. 
Guy runs out and he grabs You by

889
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,300
shows, like, hey, do you want 
someone to jump over you? 

890
00:54:17,300 --> 00:54:21,500
I'm like, yeah. 
So I got, I got pulled into a 

891
00:54:21,500 --> 00:54:27,200
Time Square acrobatic stunts 
where we have like five dudes, 

892
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,400
like lined up. 
And they all jumped over us. 

893
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,300
They did like baffles and stuff 
so I don't tell that sort of 

894
00:54:32,308 --> 00:54:35,500
that that was like such a random
New York experience of just 

895
00:54:35,500 --> 00:54:39,900
getting pulled into Times Square
and having these like amazing 

896
00:54:39,900 --> 00:54:43,800
like acrobatics just like hey 
you 642 white guy, can we jump 

897
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,900
over you? 
I was like fuck yeah let's do 

898
00:54:45,900 --> 00:54:48,700
it, that was great. 
So I just think well yeah big 

899
00:54:48,700 --> 00:54:50,800
box really want to tell that 
steamer taping. 

900
00:54:50,900 --> 00:54:52,700
We did not sleeping long enough 
this weekend. 

901
00:54:53,100 --> 00:54:55,700
I know even when the next one I 
didn't say Bing Bong. 

902
00:54:55,900 --> 00:54:59,900
Now that's funny because like my
experience with Times Square was

903
00:54:59,900 --> 00:55:02,400
a little bit the opposite where 
I was like I'll walk to the 

904
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,300
karaoke or I'ma walk to the 
Ramen Shop was actually the 

905
00:55:05,300 --> 00:55:08,800
first night we went to Times 
Square and I like I was walking 

906
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,700
and then suddenly I'm like oh 
I'm in Times Square like I 

907
00:55:12,700 --> 00:55:14,100
looked up and I was like, oh 
shit. 

908
00:55:14,100 --> 00:55:15,400
I see where they dropped the 
ball. 

909
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,900
I had no idea. 
I guess I knew I was in the area

910
00:55:19,900 --> 00:55:21,000
but it just didn't. 
I don't know. 

911
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,900
Just went from like, well, you 
know, still a New York. 

912
00:55:23,900 --> 00:55:27,000
Yeah. 
Regular Street to suddenly Times

913
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,500
Square. 
And I was like, That's cool. 

914
00:55:29,500 --> 00:55:30,700
You know? 
Like that's cool to see. 

915
00:55:32,700 --> 00:55:35,500
It was fun. 
It was really, really cool. 

916
00:55:35,500 --> 00:55:38,600
Like I'm Square itself was just 
fascinating to me as someone 

917
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:42,700
who, you know, I went to school 
in Boston but I just was like 

918
00:55:42,700 --> 00:55:45,300
this so many. 
Yeah, it's it's a different 

919
00:55:45,300 --> 00:55:49,200
Beast. 
So now that we are Pat, you've 

920
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,600
been to larger console for. 
I've been to one larger Calm 

921
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,500
before. 
If you ever went back to animate

922
00:55:55,500 --> 00:55:57,900
in New York City, what would be 
something that you would? 

923
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,100
Would want to do or didn't get 
to do or something that you 

924
00:56:01,100 --> 00:56:04,000
learn from it from like the next
time that you would want to do. 

925
00:56:06,700 --> 00:56:11,500
I would love to have more 
diverse panels in terms of like 

926
00:56:11,500 --> 00:56:14,200
content. 
I felt a lot of it which of 

927
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,400
course, is how it has to be, 
right likes a lot of shown in. 

928
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:22,600
It's a lot of like, Voice actors
because those are the big names,

929
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:23,500
right? 
Those are gonna be the people 

930
00:56:23,500 --> 00:56:27,000
that get the attention. 
I would love to see maybe just 

931
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,200
some more Niche topics again. 
I don't think it was like, 

932
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,700
glaringly bad. 
But like what we talked about 

933
00:56:32,700 --> 00:56:36,500
earlier, that it would have been
cool to see a few more panels 

934
00:56:36,500 --> 00:56:42,100
filling the rooms that were 
empty or more rooms in general 

935
00:56:42,100 --> 00:56:44,400
for stuff. 
Like, again, the one-piece 1000 

936
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,900
episode, you're going to tell me
you don't expect, like, out of 

937
00:56:46,900 --> 00:56:48,400
the tent. 
Let's say there's 10,000 people 

938
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,300
there, which I think there was 
more there. 

939
00:56:50,500 --> 00:56:54,400
You know, 53,000. 
So you're telling me you expect 

940
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:58,200
out of those 53,000, only what? 
Like 2002 want to watch it or 

941
00:56:58,200 --> 00:56:59,900
not. 
He wasn't even in the main room.

942
00:56:59,900 --> 00:57:05,100
So it's probably 300, probably 
about 300 people. 

943
00:57:05,100 --> 00:57:06,800
Probably in a famine. 
Yeah, so there you go. 

944
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,400
Like your tell me, you expect 
only 300 out of 50,000. 

945
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:14,100
I can weaves want to watch One 
Piece without like, I know. 

946
00:57:14,100 --> 00:57:18,700
Yeah, about that. 
Rob, that we met what, two hours

947
00:57:18,700 --> 00:57:21,700
early and wasn't able to get 
into To the one piece thing, it 

948
00:57:21,700 --> 00:57:23,700
just like, yeah, that's you want
two hours early. 

949
00:57:23,700 --> 00:57:26,000
For, if you go two hours early 
to a panel, you should be able 

950
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,900
to get in. 
And that's just like I mean one 

951
00:57:29,900 --> 00:57:34,100
half the cost not even has 90% 
of the cosplays are shown in 

952
00:57:34,100 --> 00:57:36,200
like yellow. 
Hello. 

953
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:41,400
Yeah, that was bad. 
So another thing that I would 

954
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:45,000
love to see them do related to 
panels as well. 

955
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,400
Or just the kind of General I 
guess would be I do. 

956
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:50,500
Anyway. 
Boston does this. 

957
00:57:50,500 --> 00:57:56,600
I know it's like a 20 21 + like 
from like 8:00 p.m. on and they 

958
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,300
do hentai panels which are 
funny. 

959
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:02,900
They're like you know panelists 
playing a hentai game live on 

960
00:58:02,900 --> 00:58:06,200
screen and it's funny as hell. 
Like I went to a couple of them 

961
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:09,000
when I went to Anime Boston. 
And I was like pleasantly 

962
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,500
surprised by how funny they 
were. 

963
00:58:11,300 --> 00:58:13,200
I didn't know what to expect and
yeah, sure. 

964
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,600
A lot more of the The people 
that I constantly shit on at 

965
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:21,300
anime cons where that, you know,
the ratio of leveled out a 

966
00:58:21,300 --> 00:58:23,900
little bit and at those events, 
but there were still, plenty of 

967
00:58:24,300 --> 00:58:29,400
normal well-adjusted funny 
people that were fun to talk to.

968
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,500
They do like bar stuff to which,
of course, with covid. 

969
00:58:32,500 --> 00:58:36,600
It's hard for them to do that 
for sure, but I think that yeah,

970
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:41,100
more 21 121 plus panels would 
have been fun. 

971
00:58:41,100 --> 00:58:44,200
I think I'll run it. 
We have been really good cat. 

972
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:45,300
How about you? 
Same question. 

973
00:58:45,300 --> 00:58:48,900
Something that you would want to
do differently or something. 

974
00:58:48,900 --> 00:58:52,200
You would like to see from. 
Like, if you would say next 

975
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:58,100
year, Oh, oh. 
Let me, let me tell you 

976
00:58:58,100 --> 00:59:02,400
something. 
I, so, I, the biggest convention

977
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:06,100
that I had gone to before 
animate was he was Galaxy kind 

978
00:59:06,100 --> 00:59:10,700
of Raleigh and gal, could con. 
They have something called, the 

979
00:59:11,900 --> 00:59:17,800
just forgot its name. 
Um, the Masquerade thing, Yeah. 

980
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,300
I'm gonna forget it. 
Basically, it was stripping and 

981
00:59:24,300 --> 00:59:31,500
cosplay and they had a, they had
a, like, a legit stripping like 

982
00:59:31,700 --> 00:59:37,100
get out strip club surfing. 
So there they have like a bunch 

983
00:59:37,100 --> 00:59:39,100
of people's like, sitting on the
floor watching. 

984
00:59:39,100 --> 00:59:43,300
Cosplayers rip. 
And like its legit just very 

985
00:59:43,300 --> 00:59:47,000
basically a strip club but 
they're now dressed up in 

986
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,700
Cosplay, like, get only clad 
cosplay, a lot of that might be 

987
00:59:50,700 --> 00:59:52,500
just for you. 
Cal be honest with you that 

988
00:59:52,500 --> 00:59:53,900
sounds like an awful thing to 
see. 

989
00:59:53,900 --> 00:59:57,400
Yeah. 
Con actually, really, really no 

990
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,800
sweaty. 
That place would be, ah, like, 

991
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:05,000
it would be funny to watch from,
like, the distance, like 

992
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,400
standing with your back to the 
wall. 

993
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:10,100
So, no one's behind you and just
watching like from a distance. 

994
01:00:10,100 --> 01:00:11,300
It, how? 
Oh, yeah. 

995
01:00:11,300 --> 01:00:15,200
And I'm not judging being, like,
in the panel room, sitting there

996
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:19,200
like in it shares with other 
people, I would not want to do 

997
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,100
that, I'm sorry. 
So that this is not just me. 

998
01:00:21,300 --> 01:00:23,800
You. 
Yeah, so I had never actually 

999
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:28,600
been into the I've actually 
never bit into the battle, I've 

1000
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:35,400
only been like on the outskirts 
of it so like oil or exactly and

1001
01:00:35,900 --> 01:00:40,700
because like they have to check 
for your for your like license 

1002
01:00:40,700 --> 01:00:44,100
and all that. 
But another thing is like having

1003
01:00:44,100 --> 01:00:50,000
the actual nightclubs and doing 
like the cosplay doing like the 

1004
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:58,600
full-on Like Walker like not 
Walker but like runways and it 

1005
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,900
has contest they I did. 
Yeah. 

1006
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:06,600
Oh Saturday at 8 p.m. that's 
probably why I didn't see it. 

1007
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:13,800
But like I I wanted to be I 
wanted to have those be a lot 

1008
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:17,600
more prevalent like I wanted to 
go and do a cosplay and get a 

1009
01:01:17,607 --> 01:01:21,100
fucking like rum and coke and 
then party with a dude dress 

1010
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:27,600
It's this fucking I don't know. 
Girls dresses Goku? 

1011
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,600
Yeah like just have fun. 
That's what I go to cosplay 

1012
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:37,700
cards for I go because it's a 
huge party and like I definitely

1013
01:01:37,700 --> 01:01:42,900
had a few of those instances 
there but like it just wasn't it

1014
01:01:42,900 --> 01:01:44,800
wasn't as prevalent, you know 
what I mean? 

1015
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:48,400
Yeah, I got you things. 
I would do for next time. 

1016
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,100
I visit my actually seems kind 
of silly out. 

1017
01:01:51,300 --> 01:01:56,500
Actually trade my body more. 
I was very physically exhausted 

1018
01:01:56,500 --> 01:01:59,800
from walking I think I was 
averaging around eighteen 

1019
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:05,100
thousand steps a day so it was 
close to like I think it was 

1020
01:02:05,100 --> 01:02:08,500
close to like 10 miles a day and
my feet were just exhausted. 

1021
01:02:08,500 --> 01:02:11,300
I would honestly just like we're
combined conditioning some more.

1022
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,800
But Kylie everyone saying, I 
think I would, I would hope they

1023
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:19,300
would utilize the space more 
give time available to 

1024
01:02:21,300 --> 01:02:23,400
Independent content creators up 
incoming. 

1025
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,400
Content. 
Creators, allow people to submit

1026
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,600
ideas for panels because that 
convention was massive. 

1027
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:33,700
They had room for so much and I 
felt like it really wasn't 

1028
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:40,100
utilize in a way that they could
have but I don't like that. 

1029
01:02:40,100 --> 01:02:42,700
Being said, I did think the 
convention center itself was 

1030
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,000
pretty solid. 
It had a lot of options in terms

1031
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:50,600
of like food coffee stuff like 
that, where I haven't seen a lot

1032
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,900
at other cons. 
They also have like individual 

1033
01:02:53,900 --> 01:02:56,800
food vendors inside of like the 
merch area, which was great. 

1034
01:02:57,700 --> 01:03:01,900
So, Props to the options 
available, in terms of that 

1035
01:03:01,900 --> 01:03:05,500
sense because a lot of 
conventions dulac that like 

1036
01:03:05,500 --> 01:03:08,400
really hard AKA Crunchyroll when
I was insane, Jose. 

1037
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,600
That was like, a really big 
issue for me, and, and I would 

1038
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:16,700
also budget better me being the 
naive Midwestern. 

1039
01:03:16,700 --> 01:03:21,400
ER, budgeting, I don't know. 
You thought you'd pay less than 

1040
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:25,600
$15 for your trip. 
Yeah, so first, first night out 

1041
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:29,300
first, I doubt we go to a hotel 
bar. 

1042
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:36,900
I order five tequila sodas very 
basic drink hundred and four 

1043
01:03:36,900 --> 01:03:39,600
dollars. 
I'm like, fuck. 

1044
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,700
Okay. 
That's how the weekends going. 

1045
01:03:43,700 --> 01:03:47,300
Luckily part was the MVP and buy
me some honey for 30 bucks from 

1046
01:03:47,300 --> 01:03:49,600
Virginia. 
So I was able to do a lot more 

1047
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:54,600
pre-gaming and also shot out to 
Gotham market for selling a Bud.

1048
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:59,100
Light, what they call, Nayarit 
has y Martinez for three 

1049
01:03:59,100 --> 01:04:01,200
dollars. 
Even though I did get gut-rot 

1050
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,700
one night and almost threw up 
after eating steak. 

1051
01:04:04,300 --> 01:04:08,900
But spending $3 on a drink in 
New York City, was that was a 

1052
01:04:08,908 --> 01:04:11,800
treat but yeah, I would 
definitely budget more the The 

1053
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,200
food was a little. 
Oh my God, we even talk about 

1054
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:17,000
it. 
I was like, five, Pizza spots, 

1055
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:18,900
you do. 
York, Pizza sucks. 

1056
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:25,000
Like, she's growing up. 
We had, I had one like good 

1057
01:04:25,700 --> 01:04:28,100
pizza. 
I would even say it was great. 

1058
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,200
Everything else was hot, dog 
water. 

1059
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,100
Like it was, so, yeah, one 
issue. 

1060
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:35,500
And this is gonna be weird 
coming from the guy who always 

1061
01:04:35,500 --> 01:04:38,500
says, Connecticut pizzas better.
And, you know, maybe I'll have 

1062
01:04:38,500 --> 01:04:42,800
to prove that together someday 
because I As a hill, all die on 

1063
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:46,100
in that New York Pizza is 
definitely overrated, but we 

1064
01:04:46,100 --> 01:04:48,800
were in the wrong part of New 
York to get like the authentic 

1065
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,600
New York, okay? 
I mean you were getting we were 

1066
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:53,700
getting shitty Corner Store 
slices. 

1067
01:04:53,700 --> 01:04:55,100
You know, we were in Hell's 
Kitchen. 

1068
01:04:55,100 --> 01:04:56,400
For those who want to Google 
Map? 

1069
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:57,700
It. 
Yeah. 

1070
01:04:58,300 --> 01:05:02,100
You really the places that 
you'll get, like, I got to use 

1071
01:05:02,100 --> 01:05:05,700
this example, this, let you know
the places that Portnoy does, 

1072
01:05:05,700 --> 01:05:11,200
one bite reviews at like, those 
are all upper New York or in 

1073
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:13,500
times. 
Square or, you know, somewhere 

1074
01:05:13,500 --> 01:05:17,300
that is not our spot. 
Which again are we were, it's 

1075
01:05:17,300 --> 01:05:19,900
not entirely residential, but 
Hell's Kitchen is pretty. 

1076
01:05:21,100 --> 01:05:23,400
And it's like where we were. 
I think Midtown West is right 

1077
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,100
next to Hell's Kitchen. 
Like that is a little bit more 

1078
01:05:26,300 --> 01:05:30,100
residential and restaurant Hotel
e than it is. 

1079
01:05:30,100 --> 01:05:34,800
Yeah. 
Like you know, Pizza play a 

1080
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:37,900
place that you'll get a New York
slice baby. 

1081
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:44,200
Ya know I feel like I had 
terrible Pizza on Friday night 

1082
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:46,200
and I do. 
Yeah, picked it up at like, 2:00

1083
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,100
in the morning and it was just 
like, I see. 

1084
01:05:48,100 --> 01:05:50,300
That was the best. 
What I had a weekend and you 

1085
01:05:50,300 --> 01:05:52,800
guys, you did like it. 
That just says, how shows how 

1086
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:56,600
bad the other Pizza I had was. 
Oh yeah, well, I mean, it was 

1087
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,800
terrible again, compared to what
I know, New York Pizza can be, 

1088
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:02,800
so maybe that's why. 
But we again, come to 

1089
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:04,500
Connecticut if you want real 
authentic. 

1090
01:06:04,500 --> 01:06:07,200
New York Pizza, okay? 
That's kind of for authentic, 

1091
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:08,900
New York, Pizza. 
Go to Connecticut. 

1092
01:06:08,900 --> 01:06:11,100
You're here for Pat, okay, you 
hate it. 

1093
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,700
You guys want to talk about 
anything else before we get 

1094
01:06:14,700 --> 01:06:18,000
into, like our final thoughts on
the card. 

1095
01:06:18,500 --> 01:06:25,400
Oh, I wanted to talk about our 
weirdest moment of, like the 

1096
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:26,800
whole week. 
Yeah, doesn't that? 

1097
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:28,200
Yeah, it does that mean, what, 
what happened? 

1098
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:36,200
Can tell me what it is is 
actually surprisingly, my 

1099
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:42,100
weirdest moment and And the 
convention was actually, when I 

1100
01:06:42,107 --> 01:06:44,800
was coming back from the 
convention, I think it was 

1101
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:47,300
Saturday night. 
We were going out to a bar. 

1102
01:06:48,700 --> 01:06:51,200
It was out there, Bart know 
where we going to the karaoke, 

1103
01:06:51,300 --> 01:06:56,500
we were going back. 
Me and my wife and we had gotten

1104
01:06:56,500 --> 01:06:59,000
in and I was in like Nico 
Causeway. 

1105
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:02,900
I was in fucking knee commode. 
I was like inside of the 

1106
01:07:02,900 --> 01:07:09,700
character and like I get into 
the, into the Later because we 

1107
01:07:09,700 --> 01:07:13,400
were on the 19th Floor, best 
thing about the Hilton Hotel, 

1108
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:18,200
the fucking elevators greatest 
thing that I've ever been in, 

1109
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:22,300
like, just so fast. 
I know I wrote it was so fast. 

1110
01:07:22,300 --> 01:07:25,900
It was like oh 17 floors. 
Yeah, that's not that in. 

1111
01:07:25,900 --> 01:07:31,000
And like I'm into segments. 
It was so like whoa you know, I 

1112
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:35,500
owe ya like I think the worst 
elevator had been in New York 

1113
01:07:35,500 --> 01:07:37,600
was the one at the convention. 
Ironically. 

1114
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,700
It. 
And that is another story though

1115
01:07:41,700 --> 01:07:46,900
wanted to tell but I but I get 
the time so I get into the 

1116
01:07:46,900 --> 01:07:51,900
elevator and there's there are 
like after we get into the 

1117
01:07:51,900 --> 01:07:53,700
elevator there's four other 
people. 

1118
01:07:53,700 --> 01:07:56,300
You get into the elevator Mi Jus
New York City. 

1119
01:07:56,800 --> 01:08:00,300
I am like oh my God, I'm in the 
middle of fuck. 

1120
01:08:00,300 --> 01:08:04,600
I'm in the middle of fuck 
somewhere and I don't know what 

1121
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:08,300
the fuck is going on. 
I get into the elevator, I hear 

1122
01:08:08,900 --> 01:08:12,600
All four of these people with 
the same accent that I here, 

1123
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:15,100
almost every day in North 
Carolina, I'm like, where are 

1124
01:08:15,100 --> 01:08:17,899
you guys from? 
And they all say that they're 

1125
01:08:17,899 --> 01:08:20,600
from like, like, eastern North 
Carolina. 

1126
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:22,700
I'm like, oh my God, I'm from 
Greenville. 

1127
01:08:22,700 --> 01:08:24,899
And they're like, oh my God, 
you're from Greenville. 

1128
01:08:25,399 --> 01:08:29,500
And we start talking, you know, 
like why the hell did you come 

1129
01:08:29,500 --> 01:08:30,800
here? 
If you're not coming to the 

1130
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:34,899
convention and they're like, oh 
um yeah. 

1131
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:41,600
We just came here because we 
wanted to get drunk and I'm 

1132
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,399
like, what the fuck. 
Hey, you don't need to come to 

1133
01:08:44,399 --> 01:08:45,899
New York, to do that. 
And you can do that. 

1134
01:08:45,899 --> 01:08:51,600
And I do you probably you don't 
spend $15 on a drink in 

1135
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:55,100
Greenville. 
You spend, that's exactly what I

1136
01:08:55,100 --> 01:08:58,100
said. 
Like, in Greenville, we can get 

1137
01:08:58,100 --> 01:09:01,899
a rum and coke for like 5 bucks 
like as cheap as hell. 

1138
01:09:02,100 --> 01:09:06,500
Like they came to New York City 
to get drunk and I'm like, bro. 

1139
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:09,399
How rich are you? 
And they're like, oh I work at 

1140
01:09:09,399 --> 01:09:11,399
Walmart and I'm like, why are 
you here? 

1141
01:09:13,700 --> 01:09:18,200
It must be saved a lot for that 
trip or damn me and being kind 

1142
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:21,600
of very different definitions of
weird stories. 

1143
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:25,000
I'll tell you that much. 
All right. 

1144
01:09:25,700 --> 01:09:27,300
I like it. 
That was fun. 

1145
01:09:27,700 --> 01:09:30,100
All right, let's get to our 
final thoughts in terms of like 

1146
01:09:30,100 --> 01:09:32,200
the Khan. 
Would you recommend people going

1147
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:35,399
here? 
That, you know, that sort of 

1148
01:09:35,407 --> 01:09:36,899
thing that we like normally do 
Pat? 

1149
01:09:36,899 --> 01:09:41,100
I'm a, this is this is Anime 
recap. 

1150
01:09:41,100 --> 01:09:44,700
One eye closed. 
I see why it's like 

1151
01:09:55,100 --> 01:10:03,400
that me that's not a big con at 
all. 

1152
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:08,200
What would expose like massive? 
But like would you like if 

1153
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:12,700
somebody had to pick like A big 
con to go to this, like you've 

1154
01:10:12,700 --> 01:10:15,900
been the enemy bossin would 
like, which one would you prefer

1155
01:10:15,900 --> 01:10:18,000
if somebody someone was 
traveling to it or something 

1156
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:19,700
like that? 
Like, give me your thoughts on 

1157
01:10:19,700 --> 01:10:23,400
the, on the, you know, like the 
Khan in general because I do a 

1158
01:10:23,407 --> 01:10:26,300
lot of people. 
Only do, like, local cons and 

1159
01:10:26,300 --> 01:10:27,500
stuff like that. 
Maybe they do. 

1160
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,900
Maybe when covid hasn't less 
restrictions, they can travel 

1161
01:10:30,900 --> 01:10:32,800
more. 
They can pick and choose which 

1162
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,600
cons of going to go to is this 
one that you would recommend to 

1163
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:39,300
people? 
Yeah, I think overall I would 

1164
01:10:39,300 --> 01:10:41,400
recommend it. 
As long as you're willing to 

1165
01:10:41,500 --> 01:10:44,300
again, walk as long as you're 
Kate willing or capable, I 

1166
01:10:44,308 --> 01:10:47,200
should say of walking and 
understanding that you're in the

1167
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,700
city. 
Knowing the expenses that come 

1168
01:10:49,700 --> 01:10:53,500
with it because again the 
content it was 150 bucks but you

1169
01:10:53,500 --> 01:10:57,300
buy six rounds of shots at a bar
and it goes $120. 

1170
01:10:58,100 --> 01:11:02,200
So you know like they there you 
go like that's the sad reality 

1171
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:06,400
of where you are, right? 
So um As long as you're able to 

1172
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:10,700
afford it, I'd say yes, you 
should do it because it was a 

1173
01:11:10,700 --> 01:11:12,700
good time. 
Make sure you go with friends. 

1174
01:11:12,700 --> 01:11:17,500
Make sure you go with the right 
group of people, I can never 

1175
01:11:17,500 --> 01:11:20,000
give an unbiased answer for this
because I will always say Anime 

1176
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:24,900
Boston, because I know Boston 
and live there and got to go out

1177
01:11:24,900 --> 01:11:28,300
there. 
So I would 100% be able to you 

1178
01:11:28,300 --> 01:11:30,500
know, have that home field 
advantage so to speak. 

1179
01:11:30,500 --> 01:11:35,000
And and also I got I do. 
I do enjoy like the 18 plus The 

1180
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,100
early 21 plus panels that they 
would do. 

1181
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:43,000
I am a Boston as well, but it's 
different Different Strokes for 

1182
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:48,600
different folks. 
Get it because it's 21 plus, but

1183
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,100
I don't know. 
Anime Expo, should be a really 

1184
01:11:51,100 --> 01:11:53,200
good time, right? 
Like that's, that's a huge 

1185
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,600
conda. 
Go to, I haven't been to any of 

1186
01:11:55,608 --> 01:11:58,500
the others I've heard dream. 
Khan is bad, but I also heard 

1187
01:11:58,500 --> 01:12:00,800
that from has so who knows if 
that's true or not? 

1188
01:12:02,500 --> 01:12:07,800
We'll have to see, but I am I'm 
I would recommend this overall 

1189
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:13,300
like it was even if I pretend I 
didn't see any of my friends 

1190
01:12:13,300 --> 01:12:17,800
there that made it all worth it.
I would say that artist alley 

1191
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:20,600
even with it being cramped was 
so, so fun. 

1192
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:24,900
And so full of talented artists.
The vendors were kind of cool 

1193
01:12:24,900 --> 01:12:29,100
too crowded for me to really go 
up and talk to them, but I would

1194
01:12:29,100 --> 01:12:31,800
have liked to of but I just 
chose not to for my own 

1195
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:34,700
tiredness and whatever. 
Sure. 

1196
01:12:36,500 --> 01:12:37,600
But yeah that's that's what I 
say. 

1197
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:40,700
I saw would recommend it 
overall, it was pretty cool, 

1198
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,900
right on cat. 
How about your your final 

1199
01:12:42,900 --> 01:12:50,400
thoughts and recommendation? 
Oh, so for me, I so with 

1200
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:53,200
everybody with meeting 
everybody, there like I go to 

1201
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:57,900
cons for or just reiterate, I go
to cons because it feels like a 

1202
01:12:57,900 --> 01:13:02,300
party. 
And with everyone there it felt 

1203
01:13:02,300 --> 01:13:06,100
like such a party. 
I had so much fun and with 

1204
01:13:06,300 --> 01:13:09,400
Everyone there. 
I would completely recommend it,

1205
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:12,900
like, going with that many 
people, that many people you 

1206
01:13:12,900 --> 01:13:15,100
could call friends or that many 
friends. 

1207
01:13:15,100 --> 01:13:19,300
Like just people, like, it's so 
fun. 

1208
01:13:20,500 --> 01:13:27,000
Now for me, not being like, 
removing myself from having, 

1209
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:31,700
like, 30 different friends that 
I can hang out with, that's a 

1210
01:13:31,700 --> 01:13:36,900
little different because, like, 
I can really I couldn't really 

1211
01:13:36,900 --> 01:13:42,300
find that many people to hang 
out with and like at like at the

1212
01:13:42,300 --> 01:13:45,000
convention because like at 
Galaxy Cod, and maybe this is 

1213
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:48,300
the difference between the local
con or quote unquote, local con 

1214
01:13:48,500 --> 01:13:54,500
and a and a huge con like it's 
harder for me to like to sit 

1215
01:13:54,500 --> 01:13:58,600
down and make friends at like, 
at those huge conventions 

1216
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:06,700
because Like, it feels so 
daunting to me and like you reek

1217
01:14:06,700 --> 01:14:08,400
of it too. 
I'm sorry I interrupted. 

1218
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:10,700
Did you go to Gaviscon 
pre-coated? 

1219
01:14:10,700 --> 01:14:15,400
Because that also, yeah, like 
wearing wearing a mask like you 

1220
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:18,700
said made me feel like I just 
was like, I am not here to talk 

1221
01:14:18,700 --> 01:14:21,600
to people. 
I know Darrell like, I am here 

1222
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:24,300
to drink and hang out with the 
people. 

1223
01:14:24,300 --> 01:14:25,800
I know that I'm comfortable 
with, right? 

1224
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:29,500
So I think maybe that might be 
why you felt that way, but I do,

1225
01:14:29,500 --> 01:14:30,200
like, what? 
It's good. 

1226
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:33,500
Example is might be with Pete. 
When we were sitting and eating 

1227
01:14:33,500 --> 01:14:36,800
on Friday, multiple people came 
and sat at the table with us and

1228
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,100
like we chatted a little bit, 
you know, or we have fun talking

1229
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:42,800
and sharing things. 
So I don't think that it 

1230
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,000
definitely might be like a local
cop thing but it's also I think 

1231
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:46,800
covid is like the main 
contributor for that. 

1232
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:54,100
Yeah that that might be true and
like I think with everybody 

1233
01:14:54,100 --> 01:14:58,900
being there and us all playing 
games and like stuff like that, 

1234
01:14:58,900 --> 01:15:01,900
like being able to talk talk a 
little bit with that but not 

1235
01:15:01,900 --> 01:15:03,700
being able to like talk at 
length. 

1236
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:06,800
Like I made so many friends at 
Galaxy con. 

1237
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:12,000
The first year I went and this 
here was just kind of but it was

1238
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:18,700
very very fun especially with 
like the the DJs and all that. 

1239
01:15:19,500 --> 01:15:24,400
It would have basically saying 
about Out about this convention 

1240
01:15:25,500 --> 01:15:28,700
versus the conventions that I've
been to is that this one just 

1241
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:33,500
it's a little bit it's a little 
bit harder to say like if you 

1242
01:15:33,500 --> 01:15:36,500
are going for certain things, 
like if you're going for the 

1243
01:15:36,500 --> 01:15:39,700
artist alley, definitely like 
you should go because it's 

1244
01:15:39,700 --> 01:15:42,700
artists Ellie is huge. 
Not only that but you've also 

1245
01:15:42,700 --> 01:15:47,400
got the crunchy roll booze and 
you've got the the aniplex 

1246
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:51,100
booths and then you've got those
heat like it feels like an anime

1247
01:15:51,100 --> 01:15:53,700
convention. 
It just feels like an anime 

1248
01:15:53,700 --> 01:16:00,500
convention but then you've got 
places like, if you, if you're 

1249
01:16:00,500 --> 01:16:06,400
going for the panel's, great, if
you can get in one and then for 

1250
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:11,100
the party like if you if you're 
able to be as outgoing as you 

1251
01:16:11,100 --> 01:16:15,600
need to be perfect, like you're 
going to have a lot of fun. 

1252
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:19,200
But if you're not like if you go
to conventions to meet people 

1253
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:23,300
who are a little bit more 
introverted like you You are and

1254
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:26,500
you go. 
I guess during covid is going to

1255
01:16:26,500 --> 01:16:33,100
be a lot harder so I would 
personally recommend it but it's

1256
01:16:33,100 --> 01:16:37,900
a little bit harder to I got 
you, I got you. 

1257
01:16:37,900 --> 01:16:42,300
I feel you for me. 
I would I would recommend this 

1258
01:16:42,300 --> 01:16:45,300
if you're planning on going to 
New York City in general, and 

1259
01:16:45,300 --> 01:16:48,700
this being like a side thing, to
be honest, I was a little 

1260
01:16:48,708 --> 01:16:51,400
disappointed in some of the 
things that the con presented in

1261
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:53,500
terms. 
Other cons, I've been to just 

1262
01:16:53,500 --> 01:16:56,500
for something of this magnitude.
I was expecting a little bit 

1263
01:16:56,500 --> 01:16:59,300
more. 
I think, in terms of our zalien 

1264
01:16:59,300 --> 01:17:02,100
merch that was top-tier s tier. 
I loved it. 

1265
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:06,500
I do wish that the they could do
a little bit more spacing. 

1266
01:17:06,500 --> 01:17:10,200
I did think that they had the 
room to make ours A Lie, wider 

1267
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:13,500
more accessible to other people,
and that really wasn't the case.

1268
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:16,400
That's but that's something I 
think that they could easily 

1269
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:21,400
learn going forward. 
Like my big issues like the 

1270
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:25,100
Connie, Itself, the, the cat 
mentioned as well. 

1271
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:30,400
Be able to get into those like 
panels were was exhausting, 

1272
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:35,700
sometimes we waited I mean just 
like about hold it up just 

1273
01:17:35,700 --> 01:17:41,200
because it meant a lot to me, 
but like the berserk panel, show

1274
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:44,900
you up an hour and 15 minutes 
early to what I mean, just think

1275
01:17:44,900 --> 01:17:50,100
of like what if Oda the guy who 
did one piece passed away and 

1276
01:17:50,100 --> 01:17:53,800
they did a one-piece panel, like
do you think that would be 

1277
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,200
popular? 
Like yeah, like come on. 

1278
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:59,600
Like some of these things were 
just like no-brainers to me that

1279
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,100
I thought that they kind of 
dropped the ball. 

1280
01:18:01,100 --> 01:18:03,700
A if I was like giving you like 
a rating, I'd say, A 5 out of 

1281
01:18:03,700 --> 01:18:08,100
10, to be honest, I thought it 
was just they really missed, 

1282
01:18:08,100 --> 01:18:13,100
they really dropped the ball in 
terms of the con aspect of the 

1283
01:18:13,100 --> 01:18:14,800
whole event. 
But if you want to go to New 

1284
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:17,000
York City and do a whole bunch 
of other stuff, then it's 

1285
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:21,000
totally worth it. 
Like the experiences outside of 

1286
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,900
the content, we were way more 
impactful than what I actually 

1287
01:18:23,900 --> 01:18:28,300
saw inside of the con. 
I think for the most part in to 

1288
01:18:28,300 --> 01:18:32,000
me, I would think I would really
like, to go somewhere. 

1289
01:18:33,100 --> 01:18:37,700
Like we're able to do more for 
Less, I'll put it that way. 

1290
01:18:37,700 --> 01:18:41,100
I feel like we really had to use
our options in terms of like 

1291
01:18:41,100 --> 01:18:45,000
carrot, like karaoke was a cheap
option to do but like not every 

1292
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,100
night it was like that. 
I would love to go somewhere 

1293
01:18:47,100 --> 01:18:50,700
like when I went to like Dallas,
where there's more feasible 

1294
01:18:50,700 --> 01:18:53,500
options for us to do where we 
have more space with more 

1295
01:18:53,500 --> 01:18:56,100
people, in terms of the group 
you want to, I Feel Like New 

1296
01:18:56,100 --> 01:18:59,800
York City wasn't the best 
location for a group of 30 

1297
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:02,700
people. 
If we could go to, like, I think

1298
01:19:02,700 --> 01:19:05,700
a Might be a little bit better 
but that's also crowded but like

1299
01:19:05,700 --> 01:19:09,300
what if we were to add it to ya 
but like we want to like Atlanta

1300
01:19:09,300 --> 01:19:14,100
like what if we went to pretty 
pretty crowded probably to I 

1301
01:19:14,108 --> 01:19:17,400
really took place is huge in 
terms of like geographical size 

1302
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:18,800
as well. 
Like what I get what you're 

1303
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:20,900
saying, I read. 
New York is like the worst 

1304
01:19:20,900 --> 01:19:23,100
offender of this, but I think 
that this is just like a. 

1305
01:19:23,500 --> 01:19:27,100
Like you said, it's a problem of
having correct 30 people? 

1306
01:19:27,100 --> 01:19:32,800
Yeah, pretty friends, New York, 
definitely expediate, or prices.

1307
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:38,900
Exponentially makes that worse. 
Yeah, but like I think that that

1308
01:19:38,900 --> 01:19:42,100
would be a problem. 
Yeah, I'd be a problem in 

1309
01:19:42,100 --> 01:19:48,700
Boston, probably a problem in 
rally and Seattle, and I think 

1310
01:19:48,700 --> 01:19:52,600
even La, even though it's like 
very land heavy, it would still,

1311
01:19:52,900 --> 01:19:54,900
you know, we're trying to get to
the restaurants, you know, like 

1312
01:19:54,900 --> 01:19:55,900
we're trying to get some. 
Yeah. 

1313
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:59,600
Wherever and getting a room with
like 20 people in just well I'll

1314
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,700
be there are things that are way
more accessible to larger groups

1315
01:20:02,700 --> 01:20:05,300
as Like what I'm getting at in 
terms of the group that we went 

1316
01:20:05,300 --> 01:20:07,100
with Bob. 
It's also trying to think, like,

1317
01:20:07,100 --> 01:20:10,100
in terms of like going with, 
like either like a smaller group

1318
01:20:10,100 --> 01:20:13,900
or solo, I feel like anime in 
New York City was the type of 

1319
01:20:13,900 --> 01:20:20,300
con where the city comes first. 
The con came second and to me 

1320
01:20:20,500 --> 01:20:22,900
where I see something, like, 
Anime Expo where it's the 

1321
01:20:22,900 --> 01:20:26,200
biggest convention in the world.
I would hope the Cod would come 

1322
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:28,500
first, and then, the city would 
come second. 

1323
01:20:28,500 --> 01:20:31,600
That's just my two cents. 
I didn't think it was a terrible

1324
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:33,600
kind of all. 
I think it just is flawed a 

1325
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:36,500
little bit and I'm hoping to see
some improvements. 

1326
01:20:36,500 --> 01:20:39,500
What I go back. 
Absolutely, I was a big fish. 

1327
01:20:39,500 --> 01:20:41,300
Even though New York City was 
super expensive. 

1328
01:20:41,300 --> 01:20:44,700
I enjoyed my time there, I 
enjoyed the people that I was 

1329
01:20:44,700 --> 01:20:47,400
with the events that we did I 
would do it all over again in a 

1330
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,800
heartbeat. 
So - Pat but like that was just 

1331
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:56,300
like that's just like that's how
I felt about it just in terms of

1332
01:20:56,300 --> 01:21:01,900
like what was offered what we 
could have had what was like 

1333
01:21:01,900 --> 01:21:03,800
missed? 
I didn't I'll know. 

1334
01:21:03,900 --> 01:21:07,400
I feel like that because on 
Friday, but the doors open at 

1335
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:09,400
10:00 in panels and start till 
1:00. 

1336
01:21:10,100 --> 01:21:14,000
Why don't panel start like 11? 
Like why do we have to wait so 

1337
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:19,200
long for some of these things 
and it kind of time drives me 

1338
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:21,900
crazy. 
Like I'm such a nitpicker when 

1339
01:21:21,900 --> 01:21:23,200
it comes to time and stuff like 
that. 

1340
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:26,700
So that's just my two cents. 
But I would go back again, I 

1341
01:21:26,700 --> 01:21:30,200
appreciate and make New York 
City. 

1342
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:34,000
Give me a press badge. 
I was able to not use it once 

1343
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:36,700
really. 
I didn't really utilize it as 

1344
01:21:36,700 --> 01:21:39,900
well. 
I did have access to like a 

1345
01:21:39,900 --> 01:21:43,200
different line for some panels 
that I was too busy, just saying

1346
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,700
in line with like Brian and Cat,
and stuff like that, to actually

1347
01:21:45,700 --> 01:21:48,500
use it. 
So Props to them, I do, I'm 

1348
01:21:48,500 --> 01:21:51,500
looking forward to maybe 
covering it more, but I do want 

1349
01:21:51,500 --> 01:21:54,400
to say, like the Bell was 
amazing, the crystal bought 

1350
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:57,400
panel was incredible. 
The berserk panel that I went 

1351
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:01,300
to, and I one little bit limited
Japanese merch. 

1352
01:22:01,300 --> 01:22:04,500
They get, they had five There 
should Japanese Bird Sings 

1353
01:22:04,500 --> 01:22:08,100
available for raffle and I was 
the last one called and I won 

1354
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:11,600
and I won that was just what a 
wonderful panel. 

1355
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:16,300
The panel guy started doing was 
crying during it and like half 

1356
01:22:16,300 --> 01:22:18,300
the room started crying. 
It's just an emotional thing for

1357
01:22:18,300 --> 01:22:20,100
my favorite piece of media of 
all time. 

1358
01:22:20,100 --> 01:22:24,500
So that was great. 
So I am glad that they did do 

1359
01:22:24,500 --> 01:22:27,700
something like that. 
So Props to the crew of anime in

1360
01:22:27,708 --> 01:22:30,400
New York City and thank you for 
letting me have a press badge 

1361
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:32,300
and I hope next year. 
Maybe I get another one, so 

1362
01:22:32,300 --> 01:22:34,300
we'll see. 
It's get panel. 

1363
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:39,900
Yeah, when we when we call do 
these things, it's like, I don't

1364
01:22:39,900 --> 01:22:42,800
want to be a dick because I've 
only done one Peril in my life 

1365
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:45,500
and I felt like I did a really 
decent job. 

1366
01:22:45,500 --> 01:22:50,600
I would love love to do like a 
live recording, or a certain 

1367
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:53,000
type of pain all about 
podcasting or something like 

1368
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,400
that, in general, with other 
people who are interested in 

1369
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:58,500
this fear, expressing your 
feelings, expressing your 

1370
01:22:58,500 --> 01:23:01,800
passion with AMA. 
And I would love to be on that 

1371
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,600
and just talk more about, like, 
my experience and our 

1372
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:06,300
experiences, in general, as 
well. 

1373
01:23:06,300 --> 01:23:08,000
So maybe one day, we'll get 
there. 

1374
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:10,200
We'll see. 
I'll know where I am a podcast, 

1375
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,500
God's will land us, but 
hopefully we are. 

1376
01:23:14,500 --> 01:23:16,200
I do down the road, but I'm here
for fun. 

1377
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:18,700
We're having fun. 
And that's what matters I have 

1378
01:23:18,700 --> 01:23:22,200
in mind. 
I mean, I mean we've been a part

1379
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:26,600
of other anime podcast discords 
and I feel like, like, we have 

1380
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:30,000
like a real Community where 
other podcast lack that. 

1381
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,700
So that's one thing I will 
always take away from what we 

1382
01:23:32,700 --> 01:23:33,700
do. 
I think so. 

1383
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:37,800
So well and say what's a, we 
talk thank you for letting us 

1384
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:42,200
into your community as Well, and
merging and people from their 

1385
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,800
side coming over to us, our 
side, going over to them, and 

1386
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:47,600
we're just like one big, happy 
family, so Props to them as 

1387
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,300
well. 
In if you're unfamiliar, 

1388
01:23:49,300 --> 01:23:55,700
somebody talk show is a weekly 
I'd say like, variety show on, 

1389
01:23:55,700 --> 01:23:58,300
Twitch on Sundays, are they 
selling am a podcast. 

1390
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:02,000
There was ever a POC as they're 
more like a twitch or something 

1391
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:03,900
like that. 
So yeah, great Community. 

1392
01:24:03,900 --> 01:24:07,200
A great group of like, young 
adults, getting are there in the

1393
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:10,300
enemy as well. 
So shouts them, Boys that we're 

1394
01:24:10,300 --> 01:24:13,300
wrapping up any last thoughts 
before I started plugin? 

1395
01:24:14,700 --> 01:24:19,400
Man, all I gotta say is that I 
loved meeting everybody there. 

1396
01:24:20,300 --> 01:24:26,300
This is probably the most fun 
that I've had with other people,

1397
01:24:26,300 --> 01:24:29,900
since probably like my junior 
year in high school. 

1398
01:24:29,900 --> 01:24:34,500
It was so, and it even tops that
like, this is probably the most 

1399
01:24:34,500 --> 01:24:38,000
fun that I've had with other 
people that are who aren't 

1400
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:44,600
family and probably my whole 
life like that I love Being 

1401
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:46,300
there with you guys. 
It was so fun. 

1402
01:24:47,100 --> 01:24:48,300
Thanks cat. 
That means a lot. 

1403
01:24:48,300 --> 01:24:52,400
Um, I don't really know what to 
say. 

1404
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:57,700
Just thank you to all my friends
and try and stay healthy because

1405
01:24:57,700 --> 01:24:59,100
God damn it. 
I am dying. 

1406
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:02,600
Yeah, oh, dying. 
If you're, if you're watching 

1407
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:06,700
the pot, the visual Pockets, I 
am sweating like a pig right 

1408
01:25:06,700 --> 01:25:10,400
now, this flu is kicking my ass,
but, you know, I pushed through 

1409
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:15,100
because I love you internet, but

1410
01:25:15,100 --> 01:25:18,300
