FanX 2026 Experience1:18 – 14:47

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.

Brandi JackolaHost

1:30

Yeah.

Dave JackolaHost

1:30

Because I guess the people behind Salt Lake Comic Con got a little too rambunctious around San Diego Comic Con and San Diego got a little upset.

Brandi JackolaHost

1:40

Well, it wouldn't it probably none of this would have happened if they hadn't driven that car to San Diego with all of that stuff on it.

Brandi JackolaHost

1:51

The said Salt Lake Comic Con.

Brandi JackolaHost

1:53

And that's what started this whole mess.

Dave JackolaHost

1:55

Yeah, it probably would have been just another Comic-Con, like New York and wherever, Comic-Cons.

Dave JackolaHost

2:02

But there was a lawsuit that we couldn't use the name, so they went to Fan Expo.

Dave JackolaHost

2:08

Yep.

Dave JackolaHost

2:09

Fan Ex.

Brandi JackolaHost

2:10

It was more like Fan Experience.

Dave JackolaHost

2:12

Yeah, Fan Experience.

Brandi JackolaHost

2:14

Yeah.

Brandi JackolaHost

2:15

So and this is year 13.

Brandi JackolaHost

2:17

And honestly, I don't know if we're ever going to go back because

Dave JackolaHost

2:21

it's getting worse every year.

Brandi JackolaHost

2:23

Yeah, it's and I'm not saying that the celebrities and stuff are worse.

Brandi JackolaHost

2:26

I'm saying the way that we are treated is getting worse.

Dave JackolaHost

2:30

Yeah.

Dave JackolaHost

2:30

They keep pushing towards more VIP ticket sales.

Dave JackolaHost

2:36

Yeah.

Dave JackolaHost

2:37

And general admission just gets shoved aside like our money's not good enough.
