Hey, now, Kabbalas, and welcome to another episode of the Secret Kabbal Express.

This is Jamie.

Hey, this is Chris.

Hello, hello.

This is Don.

Well, guys, this episode is releasing the last week of July 2025, and we are not on the way to

Gen Con right now like everybody else on the earth is. And I got to tell you, as much as I was like,

you know what, I don't really think I could do Gen Con again because of the size and the heat and the, you know, all the walking. And then we're getting a, I'm a little bit jealous at this point. I'm starting to feel the pangs of FOMO. I'm missing out on all of the Gen Con wildness that's out there. Man, it's a little bit tough this year. It's funny. The more years we go that we don't go, the more it's like, I kind of miss it. So I've often said, I'm going to go back at some point. I feel that point is getting closer and closer every year. Yeah. I think Jen Con just broke me because I see people posting about it, and I'm like, it's kind of relaxing for me not to go. It's just the drive. And I'm thinking of the drive. I'm like, I don't want to do that. I'm thinking of like the dealer hall and the chaos in there and it being hot. And I'm like, I don't want to do that. I got to be honest. One thing I don't miss is that dealer hall. Yeah. Man, that place is crazy. It's not so bad at certain times, but you get into the weekend, like when it opens up and then it's a weekend, man, it seems like every other person's got a, and I'm, don't give me wrong, I love babies, but got a big baby stroller or a backpack that looks like it came out of that video game

Death Stranding.

It's going back like 87 feet.

Yeah, yeah. And every time they turn around, it's at risk of knocking some, you know, vendor booth over. And everybody's moving like they're the only ones there. If it sounds like I'm an old man pissed off in a grocery store, that's kind of how I feel on there. I'll tell you, Don, there's nothing that pisses me off more than people who don't move out the way at a grocery store. I know.

Be aware. That's kind of a healthy one in there. I'll tell you, Don, there's nothing that pisses me off more than people who don't move out the way at a grocery store.

Being aware of your surroundings.

You get moving.

You know what pisses me off at the supermarkets?

People who don't return their carts.

They just kind of like push them into the parking lot somewhere and drive away.

I want to run those people down with my car. Or we've got cart returns that have small cart section and a large cart section. And these morons can't figure out that the small carts go in the small cart section, the large ones go in the large cart section. So it's a big giant jumbled mess of carts in there. It's annoying.

I hate them. I hate them. Just a couple of public sacrifices away from, you know, everybody
