Joe, Star Wars, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, emphasizing that heavy hitters save up specifically for this event. The hosts also share behind-the-scenes stories, including the logistical mishaps involving celebrity guests who dealt with cancelled flights and lost luggage, the unique Thundercats VIP dinner, and the "insanity" of the after-hours elements like the lobby swap and room trading.
