Hey everybody, welcome to the Boone Show on MyPulse Radio. We're back after a few weeks off do some other things, but we're here and we're ready to talk some Comic-Con with our favorite guest. I can say.
Speaker 3:Well, he's one of the most common.
Speaker 2:He really is.
Speaker 4:And he really is a favorite.
Speaker 2:Like how many years have you been coming here, Rob?
Speaker 4:Oh my gosh. So let's think about this a minute. So when I first started coming, there was like a closet studio down there and it wasn't this incredible studio that's as good as any studio in the upstate man. It might be 10 years.
Speaker 6:It might be because yeah, that was a while ago.
Speaker 1:This studio has been here now six years. I believe Six years Because it was right before COVID. Yeah.
Speaker 4:I say it every time Like this studio is as good as you know Rise Guys or Hawk and Tom or any of those. It's really incredible. You guys do an unreal job.
Speaker 5:Thank you, we're very fortunate.
Speaker 1:Yes, we are very fortunate.
Speaker 5:We got a lot of support around here, that's for sure.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I tell you it shows and you don't waste it. I mean, that's one thing for sure, right?
Speaker 5:That's true. This place looks amazing. Well, thank you, we appreciate it.
Speaker 1:She has high demands as well. That's why we have to.
Speaker 5:I have great support.
Speaker 4:I have a boss like that too, yeah.
Speaker 1:Unfortunately, she on the show too.
Speaker 4:I know she felt so bad. Yeah, we're having our kitchen remodeled. We live out in the woods in a cabin and that was the promise when we moved in that she'd get a nicer kitchen.
Speaker 6:Right.
Speaker 4:And a friend of ours has a paint company and it's really good and the guy was out there working really hard and so it was just taking a while and she went. I'm not going to make it.
Speaker 2:Hey, there's, priorities. And a new kitchen is right up there.
Speaker 4:Trust me, I like everything she cooks in it.
Speaker 5:That's right.
Speaker 4:She's a really good cook.
Speaker 5:So give her everything she wants.
Speaker 4:Whatever she wants, that's right. Whatever she wants.
Speaker 1:As we kick off, we've got a few things to talk about. Obviously, the fall edition of Comic-Con coming up in just a couple of weeks. We want to know what's going on at the stores, and you've got some new comic books that are coming out. What next week is official on that? Actually, tomorrow Tomorrow okay. So we are right on the edge here.
Speaker 2:As always.
Speaker 1:With the latest news and what's going on. But if you don't mind, you had this medical issue, if you don't mind. No, no, no, no, I'm okay talking about it unfortunately I didn't ask you ahead of time, but you went out of the country get some, uh, some work. What was it? Your knee?
Speaker 4:um, actually I've got uh, spinal issues, spinal issues.
Speaker 4:This is a fascinating story I had um I have four aminostenosis in my neck so it's pinched on both sides of my neck bilaterally. Uh, coming out nerves are. And, uh, degenerative bone disease in my neck. So it's pinched on both sides of my neck bilaterally um, coming out nerves are, and a degenerative bone disease in my spine from running and wrestling and jujitsu and just all the awful things I've done to my body over the years. And, um, um, so we ran.
Speaker 4:I went to Mexico to a place called CPI that a lot of fighters and things go to, and, um, I had 12 injections on my spine. I had both knees injected. I had my left shoulder done. They did five MRIs while I was there. So I'm a little claustrophobic, so an hour in an MRI machine was heaven, but you just kind of get through it and I tell you what's crazy is they did. We were laughing a lot. My team jokes how I just stay driven and just go. And when they did the MRIs they came back and went. Did you know? You had a partially torn MCL and a partially torn bicep tendon in your shoulder and I went, no, and the doctor went doesn't it hurt? And I went, yes, and he went. Well, what do you do? I don't care, I just keep going. Yeah, I just ignore it and keep going. I had no idea, but I just figured wear and tear on knees and that shoulder dislocates where I've done crazy stuff to it.
Speaker 4:The experience was great. The people were awesome. My partner, like sitting in a room like my next-door neighbor, I guess was Dominic Cruz, two-time UFC Bantamweight champion. Wow, really nice man, really cool, and we chatted about fights and we chatted about the injuries and things. He was really nice. And then Max Griffin, who also fights in the UFC, was there and he and I have been texting and he's a great guy. We talk about the fights all the time and there's a lady whose name I can't remember, but she's a nitro circus person and the fighters liked her and she's done all these crazy car jumps and crazy stuff and she was super cool. Everybody there was great. The experience was great. The food was off the chain. The food in the hospital would blow you away.
Speaker 5:So where would you?
Speaker 3:come up with the idea. I'm just going to go to Mexico and get this done.
Speaker 4:So I've done stem cells previously at a place called Ways to Well. They're in Houston and Austin Rogan talks about it.
Speaker 5:Okay.
Speaker 4:And I've done supplements and different things from them before too. It helped a little. But in the US the amount of stem cells I can give you is really small. So you're looking at 5 or 10 million at the absolute most. Um, I got 250 million total. So it was a lot. Um, it wasn't. It wasn't cheap and insurance don't cover it, um, so it is a thing you kind of have to save up for.
Speaker 4:But I mean, you only got one ride in this show sure and uh, I want to try to make myself so when I have grandkids so so these stem cells are supposed to fix, regenerate. They regenerate tissue. So the simplest way to think about it is and it's a great way they described it to us is you are growing baby tissue. So, for example, for 90 days, no alcohol, no nicotine, no cannabis, if that's your thing. I mean, those things both affect the stem cells and affect inflammation. They actually know ibuprofen. So you don't want, you want the inflammation.
Speaker 4:It hurts so it's going to hurt for the next 90 days for sure it doesn't feel good, right, but at the same time that the stem cells are attracted to it and then they try to fix it.
Speaker 5:Wow.
Speaker 4:Very interesting. So what they do with your spine is they go in and they actually inject it into the disc with some stuff that turns it more into a gel, so it stays, and then it tries to grow the disc to create separation on the nerves.
Speaker 5:So when was this done?
Speaker 4:Second to last week of July.
Speaker 5:Okay, so now you've been at what?
Speaker 4:Three months, almost two months, two months, yeah, two months, I think we, I'm going to have my my first real drink at the con.
Speaker 5:I think it's like a week early, or something we said I'm going to have a drink with everybody there to celebrate the convention, you know. So are you seeing any progress?
Speaker 4:Um, so I would say that, uh, uh, the first few weeks were uncomfortable. Um, where I'm in a big whatsapp group that's another thing they do. That's really cool. So everybody in your class is in the whatsapp group so people can share their timelines, or so everybody that got what you done or something similar yeah, you're in this one group just together, and there's also someone monitoring it from the company so they can answer questions.
Speaker 4:How cool is that? It's a great idea because they're on the same track. So somebody a month earlier, you guys aren't on the same track, and so we're in there and somebody might go, hey, I'm really hurt, and how's everybody else doing. Or you might go like, hey, I found this supplement that's helping, or whatever Right, or this therapy. Have you started your physical therapy? Those kind of things? It's been great and that's a choice.
Speaker 2:You don't have to do it.
Speaker 4:You don't have to, but I mean, like that fighter Max Griffin's in there all the time. He's like hey, guys, here's what's working and he's a sweetheart. He's one of the nicest people.
Speaker 4:That's so cool A really great guy, and so for that it helps. For me it was those first few weeks. It was a lot of discomfort, which just kind of becomes the norm. And then now I've noticed that my neck the pain is dull, not as sharp, it's still really tight. I've got to do a lot of physical therapy. Same thing with my lower back. I actually feel like right now my knees are a little worse I don't think they're better and the shoulder occasionally will catch a little bit. So I don't know if there's some tissue growing or what's going on. And so it's, uh, you're not supposed to work. Is this crazy? So for two weeks I couldn't even like carry laundry upstairs. I could walk, that's it, which is really hard. And then, uh, you can do a little bit, and then after 90 days you can't even start working out till after that, and then it's like a 10% and then a week 20, week 20 yeah, you really have to break in slow because it's brand.
Speaker 4:You know we don't think about it, but it's brand new tissue. It's like an infant yeah and you got to give it time and very cool.
Speaker 5:Well, I certainly hope this works for you.
Speaker 4:I appreciate it. I mean I, I got confidence. You know, I feel like I'll get some improvement, whatever that is. And uh, and some of the people that were with me were two people that had autoimmune diseases and you're looking at them and you're like God, I hope it works.
Speaker 5:Right.
Speaker 4:Because they're way worse off.
Speaker 5:Sure.
Speaker 4:And the sweetest people.
Speaker 1:Sure.
Speaker 4:Like just everybody was so sweet.
Speaker 1:How long did you stay down in Mexico? A?
Speaker 4:week, a week, yeah, you go in on a Sunday and while it's expensive, once you arrive, you fly in, they cover your hotel. It was a four or five-star Sheraton resort in San Diego near the airport and they cover your hotel there. And then they cover your transport to Tijuana, they cover your hotel there. All your meals, except like three nights' dinner, are covered, and then they're transported back. So I mean there are other things covered.
Speaker 4:They take you back to either the airport or that. Sheraton is the two places in California. Yeah, the transport will take you. And then, uh, I was staying one extra night, uh, cause it was too late to fly back. So I just Ubered to my hotel and I got lucky. I called one of my buddies and it was during San Diego Comic-Con. And my buddy, dave, goes what are you doing? I'm like I'm in the gas lamp at San Diego. You're what? Okay, we're going to dinner. I said, all right, what time am I meeting you? He goes well, can you walk? I'm like, yeah, I can walk, I'll be okay. And he said meet me at the front of the convention center. And so he had a pass and I got in for like two hours.
Speaker 2:How cool is that?
Speaker 4:And walked around and said hey to some friends who didn't think I was going to be there. So it was kind of neat to catch up with people. Yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 1:Interesting.
Speaker 4:I appreciate y'all asking.
Speaker 1:Do other people get as much done in one time as you do? I was the only person going quite as crazy as I did.
Speaker 4:I made some really funny, funny jokes. This won't be too inappropriate to be on air, I don't think, but it was pretty funny. So when you go in to do it like if it's just your knee or something, they're just going to kind of do a topical, it's going to hurt, right, they're going to do the knee on your knee. For me I was going to be kind of half out of it because they were going to have to put me under to do my spine and it's like what they call twilight. But for me you could hit me over the head with a hammer, like you'd twilight me, and I'm out. And so I go in and everyone speaks English, everybody's great, and the guy goes oh, mr Young, are you ready? I said well, you know I traveled 2,500 miles across two continents to be half naked around six strangers. So I think I'm good.
Speaker 7:I think we've accomplished our mission.
Speaker 4:I think it's all good, I think I'm good to go. And all of them just started dying laughing. He goes well, I'm glad you're not as nervous as the last guy. I said no, no, I'm terrified, yeah.
Speaker 1:And how the last guy may count. Yes, this is how I do it.
Speaker 4:We disarm it with comedy. Very cool. They were really great. I don't have any complaints at all. They were really good people.
Speaker 5:And so you must have done a lot of research on this particular place. A year and a half, yeah.
Speaker 4:A year and a half of research on them, and they started with cancer treatments and they had, I think, four or five cancer treatments that are now certified by the FDA, and they were, I think, four or five cancer treatments that are now certified by the FDA and they were saving people's lives. How cool is that.
Speaker 4:Right, and so that's the big thing. And then the other piece was after they looked at my situation my existing MRIs they put me in a program so I get to go back, and other people were in it too. I get to go back at six months. If I cover transport, they'll pay for MRIs and they'll give me 30 million free stem cells to capture data, and they want to capture it at six months and 12 months because they're working with RFK to make this legal in the United States for everybody.
Speaker 3:How cool is that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, stem cells has proven to be incredible and they're just on the cutting edge the of it right now. Yeah, and it's gonna get.
Speaker 4:yeah, I think they're gonna understand a lot they're just so far ahead of what we can do in the us. But it's not because people aren't capable, right?
Speaker 5:it's because they're not allowed restrictions right right, it's all these crazy restrictions and there's reasons why we have some restrictions, absolutely oh, absolutely.
Speaker 4:And the difference with this is is you had, uh, big pharma, I think, counter-programming it, saying it was fetal and all that kind of stuff, and it's not, it's from umbilical cords and placentas, and then down there they clone them. So you get some and then they can clone them and they work fine.
Speaker 5:How cool is that.
Speaker 4:That's the deal. Amazing, it's crazy. It feels like Star Trek, yeah Right.
Speaker 1:That's funny, I guess.
Speaker 4:Star Wars right, they cut Luke's hand off when they grew up.
Speaker 7:Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5:We'll still say Star.
Speaker 4:Trek, I'll say Stargate.
Speaker 1:I like Stargate better than all of them it feels like Stargate, anything with a star in it Battlestar Galactica, that's right. Star something, that's right. Yeah, it's funny because, uh, during our little news segment today, I tried to hook some things up that you might, that might, apply to a comic-con type audience, and a lot of it has to do with tech that is now available that you only saw with superheroes in the past, so it's kind of interesting stuff.
Speaker 1:We'll get to that. But um, tell us about sc comic-con fall edition. You changed the name we did.
Speaker 4:Junior has grown up, I guess, uh yeah, he's known as fall edition now you got to admit the things that didn't work and we really tried to get that branding over and I just couldn't figure out how to do it and uh, so we decided to make it fall edition and that way if we did, uh something else, we could do an sc comic-con horror edition or an SC Comic-Con whatever you know, sports card edition. So it gives us kind of choices doing it that way and that's why we did it.
Speaker 4:Very cool and we're really looking forward to this man. I think we've got a really good guest lineup. It's coming up on October 5th, 11 to 6. We've got Trick or Treat and Free Comics, even though it's just a hair earlier this year.
Speaker 6:Yeah.
Speaker 5:October 5th yeah, that's the date they got Kids 12 and under.
Speaker 4:Free Tickets are $18. Something we haven't done for the one-day show is we do have a VIP, so it's $40,. Early entry Folks get some exclusive variant comics that the uh. The covers are only available from us because we made them and uh, but they also get to the early entries, the big one, but they also have a fast pass on any of the celebrities that they want to see.
Speaker 4:So they can cut to the front and save a little time and it's not very expensive. I mean, 40 bucks is not a big deal, Um. So we've got that, Um, but guest wise, I think it's a pretty good lineup. Paul Taylor, Hellraiser, kind of a cool one, right. Pim Head, Tia Ballard One Piece Darling in the Franz Franks Franks, I think, is how you pronounce it Big one. Walter Jones, Black Power Ranger, kind of huge. Jerry Inman was in Dragon Ball, and One Piece Apparently people know who those animes are and pretty big. And then you know, for those of us that are wrestling nerds, we don't have to worry about getting the tables because D-Von.
Speaker 5:Dudley is going to do it for us.
Speaker 1:We have. D-von Dudley of the Dudley Boys when you pay your money, can he put you through a table?
Speaker 4:Oh man.
Speaker 1:That would be great.
Speaker 2:That would be great, or at least see somebody else go through a table even if it's not you, that's a good idea fundraiser
Speaker 4:do you want to go through the table when I trained for wrestling back in the 90's because I had a ring announce and did some of that stuff when I was young. I took chair shots but I did not go through a table that is one thing I did not do you could probably make some money.
Speaker 5:Do a raffle right $10 ticket. We Devon throws you through a table, sign a waiver.
Speaker 1:We don't want him to throw his back out now either, though that's true, devon's in rough shape. Yeah, devon, that's true, I think.
Speaker 4:Devon does have some.
Speaker 1:How old is he?
Speaker 4:He'll be headed down to Mexico. I bet you Devon's, probably 60 would be my guess. I mean, time flies, he's not as old as you think, though, because Sting was in his 70s, but Sting started in the early mid-80s 53.
Speaker 3:Look at that, that's it. Wow, I would have guessed older.
Speaker 4:Man I tell you what the ECW arena would put a lot of miles on your body. Those boys were really, really rough on each other and that was one place I never. I saw ECW Like. I traveled with friends when they were the thing, so we would, you know, get one hotel room with God knows how many guys and we would go hang out. But we traveled to see them. But we never went to Philly, we never actually went to the ECW Arena, but that venue still hosts wrestling to this day.
Speaker 4:Oh, wow 2300 Arena is what they call it, and AEW just did a residency there. I think they did two or three weeks of their AEW Dynamite show from there. They were bringing in ECW legends just for spots for the crowd and for everybody to see them and to give them their what do they call it these days? Give them their roses or whatever. I just call it paying respects to somebody who worked their tail off.
Speaker 1:Give them their flowers, that's right. Give them their flowers.
Speaker 4:yeah, but I thought it was really cool that they did that.
Speaker 1:That is cool. So any other guests you can tell us about?
Speaker 4:That's it. It was just those for the one day.
Speaker 1:We don't do a huge guest list because this is really small, and is this intended that this will still be small?
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's still 50,000 square feet Only 50,000.
Speaker 5:Square feet Only 50,000 square feet and the big show is like 210,000 or something.
Speaker 4:So, yeah, it is definitely smaller, but it's a lot of fun and I think it's a great way to get out and have a lot of fun for a day. Scratch that itch, get some comics, get some toys, meet a guest, see some friends, but it doesn't take all weekend.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, so what's, but it doesn't take all weekend. Yeah, okay, so what's going on at the store these days?
Speaker 4:The store's been doing great. There's some big comic releases tomorrow and there's a Spider-Man Magic the Gathering set dropping this weekend. I believe Our pre-releases should be Friday Popular.
Speaker 5:So if they're dropping tomorrow, when do you get? Physically get them? It varies.
Speaker 4:So sometimes we'll get stuff on Thursday or Friday of the previous week and sometimes we might not get it till Monday. Monday or Tuesday. This time I think these particular books we got on Monday.
Speaker 5:So are you? Do you have a contract or something to say? I will not give them out or sell them.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they know the on-sale date and there are people that break it and whatnot. I mean I'm not aware of anybody around here and we don't really try to police it. There are other areas of the country where it's been a real problem, but you know we do a good job with it. I mean we even deal with Scholastic, like for Dogman.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:We actually have to sign a lay-down contract for every issue of Dogman.
Speaker 5:Really.
Speaker 1:Yeah, isn't that crazy Dogman's popular with the kids, it is the.
Speaker 4:I believe the best-selling graphic novel in America. Wow.
Speaker 2:Is Wow.
Speaker 1:It was Dogman. Yeah, I was asking him the other day. You know who? Some of their heroes were fictional heroes and yeah, dogman came up a lot.
Speaker 4:Of course, spider-man was probably at the top, but with all they've done with Spider-Man over the last several years, with all the different universes and everything. Yeah, the Edge of the. Spider-verse stuff, the movies, I think have really gotten the kids engaged and it's also made it easier for video games and other stuff to sell and they were really well done yeah.
Speaker 1:I thought they were good. Yeah, so show us for the people on YouTube that are watching, show us what you brought that's going to be released. See, this isn't out yet. This is like double-knock secret spy stuff.
Speaker 4:Right, this comes out tomorrow right, yeah, it comes out tomorrow. So, guys, this hasn't happened in most probably 60, 70% of your comic collector's lifetimes.
Speaker 7:Wow, isn't that amazing.
Speaker 4:It hasn't happened since the 90s that DC and Marvel have really worked together. So, deadpool, batman, how crazy is this?
Speaker 5:Right.
Speaker 4:So we got Deadpool Batman and it's an anthology book. Um, it'll be like seven bucks. It's pretty big, feels like it's maybe, uh, 75 pages or something pretty big. Um, but it's not just Deadpool Batman, so that's what's cool. So we were talking about it before we went live. But, uh, captain America, wonder Woman is by Chip Sadarsky and Terry Dotson. Now, those, those names may not mean much to you. All those are superstars in the comic industry. And then the Daredevil Green Arrow was written by are you ready? Kevin Smith, as in the Kevin Smith Mallrats.
Speaker 4:That's right, all that clerks Drawn by Adam Kubert, who is just a wonderful human being. And then Rocket, raccoon and Green Lantern, old man Logan and this is kind of cool, it's actually written by Frank Miller Old man Logan and Batman. The Dark Knight Returns Batman so kind of the classic Batman story, where he's old and he's a little more aggressive. We'll say Doesn't take a lot of stuff. And then Old man Logan is the same thing for wolverine, which means he's kind of violent. Um, they get to meet. And then, of course, your original story with uh, with deadpool and batman, is drawn by greg capullo, who is just a legend. Right, he's the guy that relaunched batman when new 52 happened back in 2011. I still contribute that to being one of the really cool things for the store when we did our releases. For all that New 52 was crazy. This is an homage to a very famous for those of you on YouTube, to a famous Hulk cover where Wolverine shows his claws and you can see the Hulk in them. So there you go.
Speaker 4:Very cool and then got our, got our, our hot chick cover with uh magic and cat woman, and then, uh, the infinity gauntlet. Uh, there's actually more covers in this. I didn't bring them all. I think there's 15 or 18 covers something crazy. So yeah, pretty fun that's cool.
Speaker 1:Do you see this as something that will continue? Is it a one off type thing?
Speaker 4:um, this is a one shotshot, and then they're going to do a Batman Deadpool that DC will publish and then after that, I mean I hope it's successful and they keep doing it. I think when you see these two companies working together, everybody wants to try it and buy it and there's no reason not to. Like they're both making money. You know. There's no reason not to like. They're both making money, you know. Yeah, it's like why, wouldn't you do this, and it's a product people want, yeah, so very cool hopefully they will.
Speaker 4:I'm I'm really hoping. The 90s they did a lot. They did a lot of really good stories and those books still sell as back issues isn't that crazy, yeah I bet you they did 25 of them. It's a lot they did a lot of crossovers and they were very successful.
Speaker 5:So how many?
Speaker 4:of these issues are you? I mean, did you just order a certain quantity and just hope they all sell? Yeah, so, unlike a newsstand old-school newsstands like we were growing up, like they would just be allocated books and whatever they sold, they got like a small discount, so maybe 25% or something. And the way the direct market developed, a guy named Phil Suling was real instrumental in kind of coming up with this concept and he went to the publishers back in the 70s. He started it and I think it really kicked in in around 80, 81. And it was like, if we buy these books and I had to say I'll buy them, can I get a better deal? Gotcha, and so that's how our market develops.
Speaker 7:You have to buy them.
Speaker 4:I have to commit and they're ours. No returnability, they're just ours, and so we have to use our data and make our best guess. Some of the folks go to a shop like why are they sold out? Everybody knew it would be hot. And usually it's a thing where people know in the for. The best way I can put it is they know in the for. The best way I can put it is they know in the back. You know now, but maybe we didn't know how big it would be 60 to 90 days ago when we ordered Right Right. You never know. If they're going to drop media and maybe it's a slow news day and today's show picks it up. That's happened before. You're like well, there's nothing we can do about it.
Speaker 5:Right.
Speaker 4:Because they pick it up on like Monday or Tuesday.
Speaker 5:Right.
Speaker 4:You're done. There's no more books to order. You can't get them in time. Yeah, but we ordered a lot of this, so I would say it may be the biggest book we've ordered this year numbers wise or close to it.
Speaker 1:Oh, wow, so the fans are really into this, because sometimes DC and Marvel fans are like one or the other. Yeah, it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 4:You do get people that fall into a camp, but for the most part you know people read what, what they think's good. Yeah, you know, I mean you can say I'm a marvel guy, but if there's a great batman book you're gonna look at it. Who hates batman, right?
Speaker 1:exactly, exactly, all right, um, much, much more with rob young coming up, but we have probably a sad guy on the line right now to talk sports because all of his teams are just falling apart. We need to probably send somebody over to his house to make sure he's okay. Do a wellness check. We have Zach here. Zach, how are you doing, buddy?
Speaker 7:My goodness, he started it with.
Speaker 1:It's been a rough couple of weeks it has.
Speaker 7:Hey, you enjoy that ring ceremony. National league east champs instead of your world series rings we better get the world series we gotta go through rob's dodgers yeah, I'll pull for the phillies, just for you. Oh, thanks just for you? Yeah, I mean you know, let's just for you. Oh, thanks, philly's just for you. Yeah, I mean you know Clemson's about to straighten out. I mean you know there's nothing else to it. Let's get the offense going. Yeah, what's?
Speaker 1:the deal with that.
Speaker 7:Just our quarterback's missing open guys, wide open guys, wide open guys. Clemson should be 3-0 right now. I mean, that's just all there is to it, not really much else, to say, yeah, okay, we've got a new defensive coordinator and he is supposed to stop. You know, just make plays and look better. Well, when your offense ain't doing their job, it's different. When you're scoring seven, the opponent's scoring seven and you're back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. But when the defense is having to stop and make the plays, they're going to wear down and that's what's happened. And I knew Clemson. I knew, when the schedule come out, that there was a potential start of either 1-2 or 2-1. I knew they were not going to go 3-0 because of where Georgia Tech landed on the schedule. If Georgia Tech stays healthy, they're going to be a playoff team this year. They are, I mean they are. There's nothing else I can say because they are just good.
Speaker 7:And I knew week three, especially after the LSU game. You know you come out of that, thank goodness, injury-free, besides Antonio Williams. You know you come out of that hosting LSU. Then you barely beat Troy, which I think pretty much was a hangover because everybody week two struggled, they had the big games, and then when you play at Georgia Tech week three, that's kind of like Clemson's kryptonite a little bit, because you never know what Georgia Tech team you're going to get.
Speaker 7:You just don't, you don't ever know, kind of like we can beat South Carolina unless we play them at noon. We just cannot beat South Carolina if we play them at noon and I'm wondering if that's why we're playing them at 12 o'clock this year, you know, even though it's in Williams-Brice, you know. So there's just not really much else to say. I mean, I listen to that Bush Press Conference every Tuesday and you know we're just one play away. Well, we need to find that one play. You know, we need to find that one play. And the good thing is I put on facebook the other day hey, the good thing is the tickets just got cheaper. I'll be able to go to a game this year you might even get a parking pass.
Speaker 7:I mean, you should be able to get those as well I had somebody that was giving me parking passes last year and I've yet to hear from them.
Speaker 3:You know so don't even, don't even. I told you the last time I had passes for you I know okay.
Speaker 7:Okay okay, I know.
Speaker 2:But I'll be honest with you this is a tailgate season. This is not a football season.
Speaker 7:I don't blame you.
Speaker 1:She'll give away the tickets and keep the parking.
Speaker 7:I do not blame you one bit. That's the potential, you know, that's why I like to go. I mean, I'll never forget my uncle, my cousin used to have season tickets and they would park at Strong Thurman Institute. It was first come, first served. And when they would get there at 5 o'clock in the morning, it didn't matter if the kickoff was 8 o'clock at night, 12 o'clock in the morning, 3.32, it didn't matter, they were there. And my uncle said I just don't like getting there at 8 o'clock because there's only so much cornhole I can play. So I get it. You know I enjoy the tailgate, I do, I enjoy tailgating and to me that's what it's all about, just tailgating. But we'll see what they got. I mean Syracuse comes to town, hopefully they can back at home, hopefully they can straighten out and win a couple. And you know, because it don't get easier, I mean they play Syracuse and they play bi-week. You know that would be a tough one bi-week.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 7:And then you know they're at Boston College, at North Carolina or vice versa, can't remember the order Boston and then North Carolina, and then they play I believe it's SMU, and then I believe they have a bi-week again, or right after Duke, and then Florida State comes to town. So you're going to have to get these next three wins. You know, let's come out Saturday and make a statement. Whether your defense wins the game, whether your offense wins the game, make a statement this Saturday, get these next three wins. Because I think something on X the other day, where it was like the next three games was I forgot the first word they used, but it was like get things together that had the next three games and then it had the next three. After that, um, find your way. And then I think the last three was be Clemson. Again, Clemson still has their season ahead of them.
Speaker 7:All everything can. Let me tell you I'd rather them start out like this, where you know you can still play your way into some things, than to lose three or four straight. So you know, we'll see what happens. It's a long season ahead and that's why college football was fun and Notre Dame lost to Northern Illinois last year and made it all the way to the national championship. So we will see. We will see. For sure it's going to be a fun season. I hope they can straighten things out. It's going to be fun. If not, we'll just look on to next year, look on to swimming and diving, when that happens.
Speaker 1:Swimming and diving, table tennis, yeah, full lacrosse, but I do want to share this.
Speaker 7:I do want to share this. I'm a couple days early, but my little girl, the boss, will be two years old on Thursday. She will be two on Thursday. I don't know if I've even said anything to you guys, but my dad's 50th birthday was three years ago and we got together. We got together and we took up money to send him to. He's a big Dallas Cowboys fan, you know. It's kind of like Notre Dame it keeps getting worse with your family, so anyway.
Speaker 7:so we took up money and going to send him out there. Well, November the 1st, him and I fly out to see the Dallas Cowboys play on a Monday night.
Speaker 1:That's really cool.
Speaker 7:We're going to get to experience that. I've never been to an NFL football game, so we're going to get to experience that. It was on my mind. I didn't want to forget to share that. Who are they playing? They're doing to share that. Who are they playing? They're doing the shows now.
Speaker 4:Who are you going to see? Who are they playing?
Speaker 7:The Arizona Cardinals. We're flying out Saturday morning. We are getting there. It's like a three-hour flight, so we're going to have all day Saturday and then all day Sunday and all day Monday. We're going to have all day Saturday and then all day Sunday and all day Monday. We're going to try to catch an SMU game as well, depending on what time they kick off, and may even try to do the Dallas Mavericks game.
Speaker 2:You know they do a tour of the Cowboys Stadium. Yes, it's worth it.
Speaker 7:My mother-in-law keeps telling me, keeps mentioning the star, the star, the star. You want to go see the star? You know that's the Dallas Cowboys practice facility. So I'm going to look into all that.
Speaker 1:If you're an Eagles fan like me, you go down there and you spit on the star, but don't do that because they'll remove you from the tour, among other things. Probably, yeah, don't ask how I know.
Speaker 7:It's going to be fun. I'm looking forward to it and I can't wait. You know just that's all he's talking about. I guess you know being raised by him and him giving me things and surprising me, and then me being able to see him light up when this happens. You know it just makes it worthwhile. I guess, yeah, but I'm looking forward to it. You know it just makes it worthwhile. I guess, yeah, but I'm looking forward to it. And just always remember, the Braves have more World Series rings than the Phillies do in the 2000s.
Speaker 3:In the 2000s.
Speaker 7:Okay, I will leave you with that.
Speaker 1:All right. Well, we'll see how long that lasts, hopefully not for too long. All right. Thanks for calling in, zach, and we are on are on next week too, so we'll talk to you then all right, that's good.
Speaker 7:Y'all have a good one, you too, see ya all right, that is really cool.
Speaker 1:It's always nice when you can, whenever you give somebody something yeah, that they really like to see them light up my son's doing.
Speaker 4:He's a cow, he's a martyr too. Um, it's the joke we make as a cowboys fan. Um, yeah, because they Not since the 90s. They're just heartbreaking, yeah.
Speaker 1:I feel so bad for Cowboys fans, not since the Deadpool and Batman.
Speaker 4:That's right. I don't have a dog in the fight. I don't follow football. I used to, I don't anymore. But I feel bad for him. But he will not. I love that he didn't care when the Braves stunk, it didn't matter. Yeah, he's still good at the game, doesn't matter? Cowboys think don't matter.
Speaker 1:That's his team. He's a fan.
Speaker 4:As a Dodgers fan, I'm like well you, I'm like. So where were you from like 89 to 2020, when they were not good? Like as a Dodgers fan, I was with them the whole time. There were some horrible teams that they spent a bunch of money on. Remember Andrew Jones retired off the Dodgers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they were just pulling old guys in Just every awful contract they could find.
Speaker 4:It was just bad.
Speaker 1:Somehow. Now they still spend a lot of money but they still have a great farm system. I don't know how that works, but they seem to be able to.
Speaker 4:They draft well and trade well.
Speaker 1:Alright, so thanks again to Zach. Let's take a quick break here and then, when we come back, we'll talk about three things in the news and more with Rob Young from Comic-Con and SC Comic-Con, and, of course, borderlands Comics and Games. As we continue on the Boone Show, my Pulse Radio.

Speaker 4:She really did. By the way, she just texted me that is the game my son's going to.
Speaker 1:Oh, the same one. How about that? He's going to the same game.
Speaker 4:How cool is that, that is cool.
Speaker 1:And they should be able to beat the Cardinals, I would think I mean you know. I hope yeah.
Speaker 5:It is the.
Speaker 1:Cowboys, they get rid of their best player this year before the year even started. But that's the Cowboys. That's the Cowboys. All right, three things in the news that I noticed. One just happened today Robert Redford died. I didn't know that yeah 89 years old and, of course, one of the greatest actors and producers and directors of the last couple of generations really, and even made his mark a little bit in Marvel towards the end, which was something you wouldn't expect from him.
Speaker 4:Man, he was a great bad guy in Winter Soldier. Yes, yes, he was so good, and he's probably in his 70s when he did that?
Speaker 1:Yes, because, yeah, he was 89 when he died and that was what 10, 12 years ago, I don't know he might have been right at 80.
Speaker 4:10, 12 years ago, I don't know he might have been right at 80. Yeah, how cool is that that? He?
Speaker 1:could do that then.
Speaker 5:That is.
Speaker 4:That was good.
Speaker 1:He was good to the end and, of course, known for Sundance Festival, which has gotten a lot of indie filmmakers noticed and making the big time. You see a lot of Sundance Festival movies in theaters nowadays, so that's pretty cool and that was actually he named that after when he played the Sundance Kid. Ah.
Speaker 4:Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid yeah.
Speaker 1:And he lives in Utah somewhere and he named the town Sundance. It was like it used to be something else. He named it Sundance and of course they have the Sundance Festival there in Salt Lake City and the bigger places out there, Like a lot of those people.
Speaker 4:he bought the town.
Speaker 1:He bought the town, literally Changed his name and everything but great career, was active in a lot.
Speaker 1:One of the things about him was that he evolved as time went on, because he was an old-time actor and there's classics from you know, way back when All the President's Men you know those type movies and yet he just kept pushing the industry and with the Sundance thing and all that pushing the industry and being involved all the way up to when he just couldn't do it anymore so he didn't worry about. You know, this is who I am. I'm not going to adjust and change. He wasn't Dabo Sweeney.
Speaker 1:He adjusted and his career continued all the way to the end. God got awards for everything he did, basically, and you could have pages here that I could read. What about the natural? Well, yes, of course, what an awesome movie there was one movie he did.
Speaker 3:What was it called? I was trying to go back and see off the top of my head.
Speaker 1:There was All Is Lost was a movie he did back 2013 where he was the only character in the film. It was about somebody who got lost at sea and there was hardly any words.
Speaker 2:All is lost. He won a Best Actor award. All is lost.
Speaker 1:Yes, so I mean he did it all, so that's good.
Speaker 5:It looks like his first movie came out in 1960 and his last movie was in 2018.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which I believe was that last cameo. In what Endgame was it?
Speaker 5:It says Buttons, buttons, oh, buttons. I know he's in Endgame though with a little cameo.
Speaker 4:But great career. He died today and God bless him, but the other person starring in Buttons which will make your brain explode is Dick Van Dyke.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, and he's 100. Holy cow, dick Van Dyke, oh my gosh, and he's 100. Holy cow, dick Van Dyke is like 100 years old.
Speaker 2:Is he really?
Speaker 4:I went and looked at the cash just out of curiosity I was like is that? Dick Van Dyke on the poster. It is he is still going.
Speaker 5:Sure is. Look at that. How about that?
Speaker 4:How awesome is that? That's crazy. Sorry, but every time I look at Dick Van Dy.
Speaker 1:Well, chimney, chimney, chimney, yeah, yeah, that whole thing. Um, all right. Next story meta of course you know facebook, all that uh coming out with their smart glasses and making uh an announcement tomorrow. A lot happening this week in the in the entertainment world. Uh, not only you get new comics, but uh, yeah, we can get these smart glasses if you want. Um, it's supposed to be where that you can have a display on there and you can. They have the watch now that you can, or wristband that you can put on. That will, literally, you can make movements to make the screen work in different ways, give it different commands and stuff, so the screen work in different ways, give it different commands and stuff.
Speaker 3:So the screen is actually on your glasses.
Speaker 1:This is like the Spider-Man glasses in. What was it? What was it? Far From Home. Is that what it was?
Speaker 4:I always think of that Tom Cruise movie where the guy's just moving the screen.
Speaker 1:Minority.
Speaker 4:Report yeah, where he's just moving screens and stuff's just flying around.
Speaker 1:Yeah, same thing, Same thing.
Speaker 4:I mean this is he has a thing on. He's just moving all these screens trying to get information.
Speaker 5:So the glasses is going to work that way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, eventually, I mean, it's just they're just starting them out and working out a little you know the bugs, obviously, but they're going to introduce them tomorrow or the next day and they'll be able to tell you all about that.
Speaker 4:So keep an eye out for that. Can you guys wait till you just get your injection with you?
Speaker 1:well, get this.
Speaker 4:We laugh, it's coming, it's coming there will be a day maybe not in our lifetime, but maybe I lean towards probably yeah, let me see um.
Speaker 1:If I have more information on that, let's see if you want to go to work, you've got to have your, your chip or whatever. Oh, yeah, here's the gesture control wristband. It's an accessory to detect finger and wrist gestures for control of what's on the screen in your glasses that you're wearing.
Speaker 5:So that your movement of your eyes are going to depend on? Is that what you're saying? I don't know.
Speaker 4:No, it sounds like the wristband is probably like a controller on a Wii, but I'm sure you move the wristband and they pick up on it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, kind of like Minority Report, like you were saying but I'm sure that's coming where your eyes will control it.
Speaker 5:So how much are they? I don't know. Didn't say, let's see if I can.
Speaker 1:But estimated price around $800.
Speaker 4:I was going to guess a grand, so pretty close.
Speaker 1:So yeah, and you can upgrade with a camera and some AI features and stuff like that, I'm sure you can upgrade.
Speaker 1:But again all the details are going to come out in the next couple of days, so you'll be seeing much more about that. And the other thing I had was even we're talking about all this crazy stuff. It's like I told you. It's like the movies. Even we're talking about all this crazy stuff. It's like I told you, it's like the movies. They're coming out with this thing now, this little silver orb that if you look into and let it scan your eyeballs, it will give you some crypto tokens for just proving that you're a human, so that when you're online, this is like a human type ID. Let me read it so you get this Let us own your biometrics, that's exactly what the talk point is.
Speaker 5:For two crypto cores.
Speaker 4:that might be, it ain't going to be a Bitcoin, it's going to be like SHIB or one of these things. Yes, it's a fraction of a penny. Congratulations.
Speaker 1:But this is Sam Altman who created, you know, chatgpt and all that stuff.
Speaker 4:He's always been an upstanding guy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, of course there's no money involved here. You get your iris scanned by an orb, a little silver orb, and you get a world ID that proves you're human and not a butt A butt Not a butt A bot.
Speaker 4:Some people are still bots. Let's just say bot. I don't think those are mutually exclusive necessarily, but they can be.
Speaker 1:And it says you're rewarded with cryptocurrency. This just sounds like a joke, it just really sounds like a joke.
Speaker 4:I mean, it's definitely not run by the World Economic Forum or anything, not that, I'm that guy. Seriously, I mean it's definitely not run by the World Economic Forum or anything Not that I'm that guy Maybe the Bilderbergs are involved. How deep do you want me to go down the tinfoil hat ride?
Speaker 1:I can do it, and yet they say they're helping you.
Speaker 5:Of course they are. They're going to get your data and they're going to own it.
Speaker 3:I mean they have it.
Speaker 1:Yes, but you get a world ID as a real human being.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you have a world idea.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of people out there who are not real human beings.
Speaker 4:NATO now knows you're real.
Speaker 1:What is that going to do for me? You're?
Speaker 4:not a bot, that's Colonel Klink would say no thank you.
Speaker 1:It's rolling out in cities like LA, San Francisco, Atlanta, nearby.
Speaker 6:New.
Speaker 1:York and I love how vague they are on what crypto you get. Yeah, it just says cryptocurrency. And why is this being released? To fight?
Speaker 5:bots and AI fakes online by creating a verified human identity.
Speaker 4:Hey, guess what they already know. I hate to break this to everybody, but as a guy who came out of the tech world like 20 years ago, when I worked at Verizon and I was in tech support and I would have people tell me that they didn't have a data overage I could literally log into the switch and go, oh, have you been file sharing? And they would go of course not. I was not file sharing on my phone. And then I would say do you want me to read the names of some of these files? Because I don't think you want me to read the names of some of these files.
Speaker 4:They were very inappropriate names and you would go oh, oh, oh. That's what I could do 20 years ago.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 4:Right, and that's very simple technology we were using then.
Speaker 1:Why would anybody do this?
Speaker 4:Why would you do this? Folks aren't bright. Some folks just aren't right and they'll just do it to do it, and I'm like I'll do it. What's going to happen? And I was telling folks many years before anybody thought it was normal. I said, hey, your phone's listening to you.
Speaker 4:Like it's Facebook and some other stuff they're listening to? No, it's not. And to prove it to my wife, I actually went. The experiment we did was I said we haven't talked about grills, and I set both of our phones between us and we had a five-minute discussion about grills and I said don't talk about it again. And it wasn't 60 seconds and we were both getting ads. This was long before anybody was saying this was a thing and I went look, I've already experimented on this. I was doing like you know, high heel shoes or anything, and just talking about it.
Speaker 3:See if an ad would show.
Speaker 4:Oh, it's listening and it's actually in your agreement for a Facebook Messenger that it listens to.
Speaker 5:Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 4:But everybody signs off and you don't think Alexa's doing the same thing? Oh for sure. There's no way I would allow Alexa in my house.
Speaker 5:Your TV.
Speaker 4:Samsung TVs have been busted for doing the same thing and you know they're listening all the time it's crazy.
Speaker 1:Wow, just look out. If someone comes to you and says, do you want to be a part of the World Project, that's what it's called.
Speaker 3:I'm going to say no, heck, yeah, yeah the World.
Speaker 1:Project Formerly World Coin. So that's interesting.
Speaker 4:They changed it to World Project. Can we capture your biometrics to give you a SHIB?
Speaker 1:coin, yeah, and a World ID. It sounds like something that kids would do.
Speaker 4:Ooh a World.
Speaker 1:ID. I want a world ID. I want a world ID. I'll give you whatever you want.
Speaker 4:I was mad enough to have to get the new driver's license so I could fly.
Speaker 1:Oh yes, I get that little gold star on there A little star Yep, and now South Carolina says they're changing them again.
Speaker 3:Are they?
Speaker 1:Yeah, they said they're not changing the star part, but it's like now they're coming out with a different. I just got that.
Speaker 4:I'm good for nine years, or whatever it is. We'll talk about that in nine years. Yeah, you're like me. We'll talk about that in nine years and you'll make me do it.
Speaker 1:Dang new license. Maybe I'll just drive everywhere. Okay, so one more time before we go to the recommendations and Rob always has good ones how to get tickets for the SC Comic-Con Fall Edition.
Speaker 4:Well, you know, there's several ways. You can go to sccomicconcom, you can go to Borderlands at 410 South Blesenburg Drive, or you can just walk up and buy tickets at the show if you're making a last-minute decision and there'll be a long line.
Speaker 2:And that's going to be at the convention center.
Speaker 4:At the Greenville Convention Center. I think parking's going to be at the convention center, at the Greenville Convention Center, I think parking's going to be $10, and it'll be a lot easier to park than the big show, obviously, because there won't be nearly as many people, so it'll run real smooth. And, yeah, come check it out, man. I think there's going to be a bunch of guests. We've got a bunch of good vendors. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1:Free comics, kids 12 and Will be there with Platypus, with Platypus Don't know what he's dressing up as this year.
Speaker 5:Yeah, the Beetlejuice is out. He was Beetlejuice last year, that's right, he was.
Speaker 1:Batman one year, a couple of years ago. You know what.
Speaker 4:I did forget. We got a crazy thing going on with the Swamp Rabbits. So, they have a Star Wars night. Yes, they do, if you go onto the website you can buy a ticket to the con and get a ticket to swamp rubbish star wars night. If you go onto the site, you can get that at the same time very cool you can kind of bundle yeah, very cool, hockey is fun.
Speaker 3:It is very fun hockey's, really fun.
Speaker 1:Hopefully they're better this year.
Speaker 4:Live hockey, so good last year as long as they let them fight yes I know isn't that terrible, but you want that yes, I don't know. I watch every ufc, so I guess it not I don't really have the guilt factor.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no guilt factor, but when they fight on skates, that's even more frustrating.
Speaker 3:They're fighting on skates.
Speaker 4:This is a high level Only if they hit the side and you hear the pom pom pom. They're fighting on skates, you guys remember Clark, before they were called Swamp Rabbits.
Speaker 1:My wife's 10 and he'd go because he's six. Six guys, oh yeah, and flatten them very cool. Yeah, the goons gotta send out the goons, gotta love the goons. Yeah, um, okay. So recommendations, like we do every week, um entertainment and food. Have you been reading anything, watching anything lately that you can? So?
Speaker 4:two, two things to watch. Um, we watched uh Wolf from Jack Carr, my favorite author I think I mentioned him on here before and that's really good. It's a prequel to Terminal List. It tells you a little bit about one of the characters in Terminal List that maybe made some poor choices in life and I think it's explaining how he went down that road. But it also introduces some characters that are very pivotal, moving forward with the story for Commander Reese, the Navy SEAL, the terminal. This is about that's really good.
Speaker 1:That's the Chris Pratt character Yep.
Speaker 4:And also, if you like smart alecks, then you should watch Landman.
Speaker 1:Oh, yes, it is very good.
Speaker 4:It may be the best thing Billy Bob Thornton's ever done.
Speaker 5:I agree. He is just incredible. It's incredible.
Speaker 4:Every time he's on screen. It's must-watch TV.
Speaker 5:It is, you can't help it.
Speaker 4:He's just unbelievable in that show.
Speaker 5:It was a fantastic show.
Speaker 1:I agree, I didn't know what I was going to think of that.
Speaker 3:Me too.
Speaker 1:My wife had to talk me into it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and I regret that. Like you were right, honey, it was phenomenal, it was so good In fact, I can't wait.
Speaker 3:There's got to have another season. Oh, there is, it's coming out this year. It's coming out in, like what? November or something. Yeah. It's coming out pretty soon.
Speaker 1:Good yeah. So yeah, I bet you he's got to be 60s. Yeah, and he's looked in his 60s for 30 years. He's like old Arne Anderson.
Speaker 4:Like Arne Anderson was 19. I saw a great picture of Arne Anderson with a world title and he was supposed to be at the time like 29. And he looked 40. And the caption on it was Arne Anderson winning the sixth grade wrestling championship at such and such high school. And he had a beard Because Arne looked old like the day he was born.
Speaker 7:He looked 25.
Speaker 4:Yeah, Arne looked old from the day he was born.
Speaker 5:So he's 70.
Speaker 1:70. Wow.
Speaker 3:So, yeah and he hasn't changed. He just turned 70.
Speaker 1:I mean the guy hasn't changed and he's a great actor. It is incredible. But hasn't changed and he's a great actor it is incredible, but he's looked the same for about 20 years yes, he has.
Speaker 4:So at 50 he looked horrible, but at 70 he looks good he's managed to maintain.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's crazy, that's what we'll go with.
Speaker 3:It's crazy, I mean he looks the same as he does when he was with.
Speaker 1:Angelina Jolie. Oh yeah, they got the little dream patch a lot and the Soul Patch. The Soul Patch, that's what it is he's rocking the Soul Patch Crazy he was just in the area with his band.
Speaker 4:Oh really, Was it Newberry or Pickens?
Speaker 1:I think they played in Pickens. Really, yeah, he has a band. It's not like he's the whole band. I mean he's just part of a band, and they sold it out, of course, because people wanted to meet him.
Speaker 4:It ain't about the money.
Speaker 1:No, he's playing pickings, he just wants to play some music Absolutely, and he has fun playing for people, so why not?
Speaker 4:Why not Go play music and have fun?
Speaker 1:Absolutely Exactly so. Good for him. That's awesome. But Jack Carr? I think he's coming out with a new book too.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's the one about Reese's dad.
Speaker 3:I'm brain farting, maybe it's.
Speaker 4:Cry Havoc.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's it.
Speaker 4:I think it's Cry Havoc. It comes out two weeks after the con, Very excited. I've already ordered my shot through editions. He's one of the authors. It's the coolest thing ever. He picks a gun from the book, he shoots through pages with the gun, signs them and then they bind them into books and they are only sold at independent bookstores.
Speaker 5:Wow, Now how cool is that.
Speaker 4:You can't buy it at Barnes Noble. You can't buy it on Amazon. He does sell signed editions through those but he wanted to come up with a way. His mom was a high school librarian and his two things he wanted to do in life was he wanted to be a seal and he wanted to write books. Because she got him into reading at a young age, he's actually got a book club kudos to him for independent booksellers so how can you get a hold of one of those what's?
Speaker 4:go to jack carr's website and, uh, they've got links there. That's what I did. I went in and ordered mine. Um, and you can pick a bookstore that has them in stock and you can order them, and then they'll ship them. They'll ship them on release day.
Speaker 1:That's really cool. That is really cool.
Speaker 4:What a neat thing to do and he doesn't have to do it. He's going to sell those books anyway. So he's doing that because he loves it and he loves independent bookstores.
Speaker 5:He's very cool.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I would love to meet him one day. He's apparently a really cool dude.
Speaker 1:That awesome. That's awesome, um, okay, so what about a food recommendation?
Speaker 5:well, the kitchen's not ready no, because it's not ready.
Speaker 4:So you gotta eat out I'm telling you my wife probably would cook for everybody um oh, that'd be awesome yeah she's incredible. Um, I tell you there's a couple good places. I might have mentioned miles pizzeria, which is my favorite place did you try it now?
Speaker 3:oh, I've had it. I had it last before you recommended it.
Speaker 1:I still haven't had it.
Speaker 3:It's the cheese bread, because I don't get up that way very often.
Speaker 5:I'm not going to lie to you, it is the cheese bread.
Speaker 4:It's kind of crazy.
Speaker 5:The pizza's awesome, but that cheese bread.
Speaker 4:They take a whole loaf of bread, uncut loaf of bread.
Speaker 5:Oh my gosh and garlic an ungodly amount of cheese and garlic, yeah it looks like so.
Speaker 4:By the time they put all this on there and they put it in the pizza oven, it comes out looking like a lava monster john, you've got to see it you just won't.
Speaker 4:It's crazy and it's so good and the people there are so nice and it's uh also independently owned. Um, if people are looking for a uh, for a sports bar, they can try uh, because we're always talking sports in here. You've got Local Q and I also recommend the Flat. If they're up toward Woodruff Road or Five Points, they can go to the Flat.
Speaker 1:Been to Local Q. Had some of the wings there, were they not?
Speaker 3:They were delicious, Went there too.
Speaker 2:They're good, did you see the cheese bread? Let me see. Oh sorry, oh my.
Speaker 5:Yes just, oh, my yes just oozing, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4:You're just eating and about a little bit of bread. We you know I live out in dacusville, but we did the dacusville pizza stop and it's really good very cool.
Speaker 5:What?
Speaker 1:you've been there too no, I was gonna say she started to suck wait wait
Speaker 3:no, because I remember um one of our teachers is from dacusville.
Speaker 5:Allison.
Speaker 3:Oh.
Speaker 5:And so she mentioned it.
Speaker 4:It's good.
Speaker 5:A little hole in the wall.
Speaker 4:It is. It is the tiniest little hole in the wall and my buddy that lives out there kept picking on me and he was like you're going to rag on it? It's this and it's that it's next to a gas station or whatever. And man, the food is good, the service is great, the kids are everyone that works there sweet. One time they forgot my wife's online order. They missed it and the owner walked out, brought her a cup of coffee because they have a little coffee thing brought her a dessert and said we're so sorry, we're fixing it right now. It'll be out and she's like it's fine.
Speaker 4:It's going to take you like eight minutes, yeah, but they're that sweet and they're really nice people and I highly recommend anybody out in the area give it a shot.
Speaker 5:So what do you get at Miles Pizza?
Speaker 4:So usually I'm going for lunch so I'll get the lunch special where it's like two-topping personal pizza and that two-topping personal pizza will fill you up. When I do it for the store I can feed if you get there large it the pizza is, so thick it is two pieces and you're in a coma.
Speaker 5:I can only eat one, but I eat the cheese bread too.
Speaker 2:I've had one person eat three oh wow, and we gave him two monsters for free so he could keep working, because I was pretty sure he was going to doze off like he just kept chugging. Yeah, he was like I'm carb coma.
Speaker 4:I'm gonna go to sleep, boss. Um, but like a large pizza will feed like five, six people. It's crazy, cause it's just so, so good so they get that. Yeah, it's great pizza.
Speaker 3:And what do you get at local Q, the wings?
Speaker 4:wings. That I do. I let my wife always order first, because that's what you're supposed to do, and if my wife does not order tots, then I get the wings and the tots, because my wife really likes tots and she can cheat, eat a few tots and food off my plate does not count. We know these rules. And so if she does order tots, then I order fries most of the time, or mac and cheese.
Speaker 4:Their mac and cheese is pretty incredible too, you can get a skillet an iron skillet of mac and cheese at Local Q. You're killing me. I'm going to be eating something from somewhere I know.
Speaker 1:That's what happens at the end of the show.
Speaker 4:You can get an iron skillet full of mac and cheese but then you can get like bacon or brisket or an egg on whatever you want, and they'll customize the mac and cheese and then put it in the iron skillet and put it in the broiler. Oh man.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:We've got to stop doing this. I know it.
Speaker 1:It's better than at the beginning of the show, that's true, that would not be good at all.
Speaker 4:That's true. We'll be right back and one of us is on DoorDash.
