GMMore 406: The Costco Convention

so this has been the clue that’s unraveled the whole mystery now I know that you murdered my uncle and did you also write rhett and Link on this baseball coz that’s I thought it would be cool that’s how I put a put it back there I was like all right rhett and Link on his uncle’s baseball he won’t think it’s his uncle’s baseball you see underneath it says Reggie and I wrote right over it Reggie’s your uncle’s name it’s not really not really a baseball by the way it’s a your uncle’s name is Kyra Kyra goldstein uncle Kyra he probably lived for a couple of days in there whether we don’t we talk about death a lot on this show that was your eyes well everybody’s gonna die actually this is a this is a signed baseball that was given to us on our mythical road trip to California oh yeah we got the box this is in the box of America we still have the box of America people ask about it Kyra Gold’s team shoutout to Kyra I know you’re watching uncle Kyra it’s not a real baseball though it’s soft baseballs I know you’re not real familiar with them but they’re not that soft oh really no they’re a lot harder than that that would make a thud if you were to hit it with me go okay uh oh gosh don’t self don’t hurt yourself guy all my breath Nanette you’re compensating for that Lane where did that little angle it is so heavy uh we wanted to talk about a convention experience that we had that was actually documented on the internet in another video what’s the name of the video is it intergalactic food smugglers uh two thousand eight alpha cells to a great American road trip it’s called intergalactic food smugglers basically it’s not the name of the video I don’t I don’t know that was the name of the idea playing convention I don’t know we’ll put a link in the description down there but there was a role-playing convention and somewhere in the Midwest and as was the Convention on the alka-seltzer great American road trip a lot of times we would be dropped off at a place had to come up with an idea we actually planned this one well you know it had to be food really a day ahead of time and since role-playing games and conventions have nothing to do with food we we had to interject food into it because of alka-seltzer so we actually planned this one no because we had the t-shirts made yeah we knew that we were so the whole idea of the convention is that all these people are playing role-playing games introducing new role-playing games and so our idea was okay let’s get a booth at this convention and let’s sell our new role-playing game international I mean intergalactic food smugglers it’s like traveling through space smuggling food but you had to there was the catch was is that you like that idea real food were the game pieces so like an actual so we have a turkey leg or like a chicken or something we put yeah we we had all in like up in a treasure box or something in the middle and we got people to beta test the program and so we like put a camera in their face we were like asking questions along the way but they were really giving it their all I haven’t watched a video and you know six years many years so it’s probably not that great of a video but I remember at the time wow these guys are these guys are really into it what we did you know he had to hold they had to pull out their piece of food and then they had to I can’t remember what they had to do that’s why we can’t think we can watch the video and watch the video but it was essentially a prank you know it so it’s like let’s go to this role-playing convention and do something that’ll disguise daikon yeah daikon like like the plural form of dice yeah yeah yeah and I don’t know if daikon still happens but the thing that I remember is we didn’t want to do something offensive we wanted to do something that was a good prank but the people were so nice they just played right along that after a while you kind of felt bad they were sitting there like playing with a chicken piece you know you having to touch this greasy piece of food I think look I had a large axe or something oh no I can’t remember what we had t-shirts that makes it a good idea we also went to a convention before that no after that we were invited to go to Rafa Con in New Jersey it’s like it remember and we met Justine iJustine in brookers at this thing and our wives were there Raul Kahn why were we there did we we’re on a panel right for offal con chuck testa was there was any no this is no snow three years before Chuck test Chuck testa ended up going to raffle con right yeah later yeah he was like Rafa guy was like yeah yeah we we we went there a while but Rafa Kahn was more of him I don’t know you you know better than I do there was a lot of me mesh type stuff that was half man guy was there but the it wasn’t like a YouTube community saying oh no it was more of a it kind of had this reddit uh I Can Has Cheezburger type vibe to it yeah we felt a little bit out of place this is the biannual convention internet memes yeah that’s what it’s about that’s watch okay so that’s why Tron Tron guy shows up and stuff like that yeah but that was that was kind of that was kind of weird I’ve never been a like comic-con you’ve been to comic-con right like you’ve made videos at comic-con and wonder going wonder con all of the all of the con cons comments on Rodrigo yes that’s not really um I gotta say that I am VidCon and now playlists are the only ones that you know you haven’t done a lot of conventional I don’t think I I don’t think that I I like walking around booths and
