Jason Roskam (0:00)
Stay up late last night, watching football?
Nic Svensson (0:02)
No. I actually went to sleep hoping that Kansas City was going to lose, and then they didn't.
Jason Roskam (0:09)
No, I stayed up for the whole game because Ben wanted to watch it.
Dave Martin (0:12)
Ben was happy?
Jason Roskam (0:13)
Oh, yeah.
Nic Svensson (0:15)
Poor Jaden Daniels, man. That fucking dude. Dude.
He's the next RG3. Like, he just.
Jason Roskam (0:22)
Yeah, it sucks.
Nic Svensson (0:24)
Like every time every time the every time Washington gets a new fancy quarterback, they just fucking kill him. Yeah, that was ugly, too. And Tom Brady going, oh shit.
And then when they say later, piss missile.
Jason Roskam (0:38)
He did.
Dave Martin (0:39)
Oh, my God, it was the fucking best.
Nic Svensson (0:42)
Like, you know, I hated Tom Brady as a player, but as a fucking announcer, I love that dude. Yeah, he's badass.
Dave Martin (0:49)
He's like, oh shit, sorry. I wonder if it's still $10,000.
Nic Svensson (0:55)
For what?
Dave Martin (0:56)
For FCC violation for cursing over to radio.
Jason Roskam (1:00)
I would imagine they probably bumped it up a little over the years.
Dave Martin (1:02)
Because when do we do?
Nic Svensson (1:03)
It should be like PG-13, you're allowed like one F-bomb. Yeah.
Jason Roskam (1:08)
Shit's not so bad.
Nic Svensson (1:09)
Yeah, shit.
Dave Martin (1:11)
Piss missiles.
Nic Svensson (1:12)
Yeah, it's an absolute piss missile.
Jason Roskam (1:16)
I don't know if I've ever heard that term before.
Nic Svensson (1:18)
Really? Yeah.
Dave Martin (1:19)
No, I've heard it all.
Nic Svensson (1:21)
That was great.
Dave Martin (1:23)
We've definitely used it for football before.
We could start. Oh shit.
Jason Roskam (1:28)
Yeah, it's five. Whoops.
All right. We good? Yeah. We good.
Dave Martin (1:33)
Good as we're going to be.
Jason Roskam (1:34)
Yeah.
Dave Martin (1:35)
I got to make notes.
Jason Roskam (2:03)
Hello, everyone, and welcome to The Sidebar Cantina, the podcast where we talk about Star Wars, pop culture, our new Tiltheend CDs, or whatever the fuck we feel like talking about. I'm Mr. Jason Roskam, with me here each and every single week, the Darth Vader to my Palpatine, Dave Martin. Hello, Dave. Hello, Jason. How are you?
Dave Martin (2:20)
I like how we framed Swede with our CDs right here.
Jason Roskam (2:23)
Yeah. Oh, there you go. Yeah.
Dave Martin (2:25)
Nice.
Even better is as we're playing the intro song, nobody can see it because it blanks out from stream yard. But subconsciously, we're all like, do, do, do, we're all popping our heads and shit.
It's like, all right, yeah, we're ready.
Jason Roskam (2:42)
It's a great theme song. So yeah, as you alluded to, we're not alone here today. We've got a returning guest, good friend of the show.
You may know him as Big Swede, Nick from Swede Studios. We just call him Nick. Welcome back.
Nic Svensson (2:59)
Thank you. It's awesome to be back here again. It's been a minute.
Jason Roskam (3:03)
Have you got any new ink since last time?
Nic Svensson (3:05)
No, no.
The crazy thing is I actually just won a $300 gift certificate from Brett. Did he do another wheel? No. So he started his own podcast with a buddy of his called Booze and Tattoos. And they were doing a subscriber giveaway. So like, you know, just trying to kind of bump up the numbers, get the podcast out there. And I was a subscriber. I was one of their first guests on the show and I ended up winning the subscriber giveaway. So I have a $300 gift card, just trying to figure out what I want to use it on.
Jason Roskam (3:42)
Right. And it looks like you're running out of real estate also.
Nic Svensson (3:45)
Well, on the arms, I'm just about out. I do have plenty of real estate elsewhere, but figuring out what I want to do and where, that's the question right now. But when I get back from Europe, I'm going to try and get in with him and get something done. I might actually cheat on him while we're in Budapest, though.
We might be getting some TTE tattoos. There you go.
Dave Martin (4:06)
You know what?
That's one of those vacation things. It's like a vacation...
Nic Svensson (4:11)
I told them about it, too. I was like, hey, I might cheat on you.
Dave Martin (4:14)
Yeah, it's fine. You got to do what you got to do.
Jason Roskam (4:16)
Yeah. And what was the name of that podcast again?
