during construction.
Scott JohnsonHOST
4:04
Sorry, keep calling it Comic-Con.
Scott JohnsonHOST
4:06
FanX now we have to call it.
Brian IbbottHOST
4:07
Yeah.
Brian IbbottHOST
4:07
Well-
Scott JohnsonHOST
6:47
So [clears throat] we, uh, we make all the arrangements.
Brian IbbottHOST
6:49
Yeah.
Scott JohnsonHOST
6:49
Uh, FanX was monstrous this year, uh, partly because next year they're re- they're...
Scott JohnsonHOST
6:54
Or between now and next year they're doing a huge renovation of the Salt Palace, and so I think that they're...
Bill AllredHOST
1:09
yes.
Bill AllredHOST
1:10
FanX.
Bill AllredHOST
1:10
We've been descended
Gina BarberiHOST
1:12
upon.
Gina BarberiHOST
1:34
Way to go, Sherlock.
Bill AllredHOST
1:35
You really got a nose for stuff, don't you? Because
Gina BarberiHOST
1:39
seeing them walking in a crosswalk is different than seeing them at FanX.
Gina BarberiHOST
1:44
Like seeing them on the way.
Kerry JacksonHOST
9:26
Federal employee Alex checking in.
Kerry JacksonHOST
9:27
Thanks for coming to FanX and answering my silly questions.
Kerry JacksonHOST
9:33
Will Friday's show be posted? Oh,
Bill AllredHOST
9:36
you mean the FanX? No,
Gina BarberiHOST
9:38
that's not Friday's show.
Gina BarberiHOST
9:39
Does he mean? No.

Kerry JacksonHOST
103:25
Quite the collection of geeks over the weekend.
Bill AllredHOST
103:27
Yeah.
Dan GuntherHOST
61:05
That's really cool.
Brandi JackolaHOST
61:07
And that's so interesting because there was a whole thing at FanX that we didn't go to because, honestly, we're old and we're tired.
Brandi JackolaHOST
61:18
We lasted six hours.
Dan GuntherHOST
61:21
That's pretty good.
Brandi JackolaHOST
62:01
I think that's the correct thing.
Brandi JackolaHOST
62:03
The only thing that I felt bad about was because Richard Hatch made a great Klingon.
Brandi JackolaHOST
62:10
He was exceptional and I got to meet him twice during my times going to FanX and he, I love, he was my first crush as far as not Star Trek people.
Brandi JackolaHOST
62:30
So, because, yeah, Battlestar Galactica, don't know if you've ever seen the original series, guys, but yeah, that is something that was very prominent along with Star Trek in my, you know...
Scott JohnsonHOST
2:33
So pretty nerdtacular, we were planning on this dinner.
Scott JohnsonHOST
2:37
And he was going to come to the, sorry, I keep calling it Comic-Con, FanX now, we have to call it.
Brian IbbittHOST
2:43
Well, they have to call it.
Brian IbbittHOST
2:44
You can call it whatever you want.
Scott JohnsonHOST
5:19
Well, anyway, so where was...
Scott JohnsonHOST
5:21
Oh, so we make all the arrangements.
Scott JohnsonHOST
5:25
FanX was monstrous this year, partly because next year, or between now and next year, they're doing a huge renovation of the Salt Palace.
Scott JohnsonHOST
5:32
And so I think that a bunch of stuff may change.
RennaGUEST
42:28
But then Utah, where I'm from, has a lot of little events that I'll go attend.
RennaGUEST
42:35
And FanX, which is not a little event.
ChristineHOST
42:40
Yes, yes, of course.
ChristineHOST
42:43
Well, that's so cool.
Kerry JacksonHOST
1:20
Intermountain West.
Kerry JacksonHOST
1:21
Here in the Intermountain West, it's all about FanX is the problem.
TonyHOST
1:26
It's a different kind of weather phenomenon.
Kerry JacksonHOST
1:28
Different kind of way.
Kerry JacksonHOST
2:20
Let's see.
Kerry JacksonHOST
2:28
Just taking a look at what everybody's up to.
Kerry JacksonHOST
2:32
And yes, FanX Friday was yesterday as we record this.
Kerry JacksonHOST
2:38
Got to see Rob.
Brandi JackolaHOST
1:18
Yeah, because we went to a con.
Dave JackolaHOST
1:21
Yeah, FanX 2026.
Dave JackolaHOST
1:23
It's the 13th year of the Salt Lake Fan Expo.
Dave JackolaHOST
1:27
That used to be Salt Lake Comic Con until a lawsuit.
Dave JackolaHOST
5:16
Well, it's typical of capitalism to put money over people.
Dave JackolaHOST
5:20
And that's what we're getting from this.
Dave JackolaHOST
5:21
Because early on, FanX was about the experience you're giving to the people.
Brandi JackolaHOST
5:26
Yep.

Welcome back to KVA News for the people.
Jason WilliamsHOST
38:05
I mentioned that I was going to just quickly talk about one of the movie-related things that was presented at FanX.
Jason WilliamsHOST
38:15
Where were you
Andy MorganGUEST
38:16
yesterday?
Jason WilliamsHOST
38:50
It's whoever has the most money.
Jason WilliamsHOST
38:52
It just blows me away.
Jason WilliamsHOST
38:53
But anyway, so they can't say Comic-Con anymore, so they have to call it FanX again, which used to be their spring event setting up the stage for Comic-Con anyway.
Jason WilliamsHOST
39:01
Yeah.
