1
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:54,280
Join master of menace remark Maloney and the OG guy being Dude Aidan Maloney as they explore

2
00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,520
movies, music, food and nightlife on the Mark Mo Show. With segments like you just made the list,

3
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:08,120
Carpe DM's and The 15, each episode is loaded with shenanigans, tomfoolery and chaos. We hope

4
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:29,480
you enjoy the show. All right everybody, welcome to season one, episode one, the first Mark Mo

5
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:40,200
Show podcast. How's everybody doing? I just want to say that this is pretty special. It's a long

6
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,760
time coming. I got a little bit of an opening monologue for you here. Throw some truth bombs

7
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:54,200
at you. But what up, A? I got something to say. This is Aidan Maloney here. He is my co-host.

8
00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:04,800
Gamers. He is also host of AK219, guys being dudes everywhere. Anywhere you want to find us,

9
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:10,160
we will be there. That's right and also has his own personal channel where he does a lot of gaming

10
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:16,640
and things of that nature. Where can people find you there? Aidan (spelled the right way) on YouTube.

11
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:22,160
That is true. And you won't find me if you spell it the wrong way. So if you do spell it the right

12
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,760
way, that's exactly where you'll find me. Right. And if you don't, well, you kind of get what you

13
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,880
deserve. Exactly. Which is a potentially lesser YouTube creator. Not to throw anyone under the

14
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:38,480
bus necessarily. But the thought is there. We're just saying. The potential is high. No doubt about

15
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:47,800
it. But it's exciting. We are here on YouTube through RSS feed, all of the different podcast

16
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:55,640
platforms. Pretty exciting stuff from being in our little radio station here locally in our town

17
00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:05,280
of Valparaiso, Indiana. Which for those of you who aren't very good at geography per se, per the

18
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:11,400
Jimmy Kimmel Show, that's most of you. But that's okay. I don't judge. I say Valparaiso. I do. I

19
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:18,120
will. You will? Okay, fair enough. I'll do that part. I love that. I love that. So we are in

20
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:25,440
Northwest Indiana, which is basically a suburb of Chicago. In a way. In a way. And we get there as

21
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:32,280
much as we can. At least we just pretend like we're there. But at any rate, yeah, we're here in

22
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,040
Northwest Indiana. And we love all of you. And it's coast to coast around the world. We used to say

23
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,400
it when we were with our little radio station due to streaming and being on TuneIn app and other

24
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:50,320
things, yelling at Alexa, whatever. But now it's really the case. Everybody in every corner can get

25
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:55,520
to us. And that's super exciting. For sure. If you've got internet, that would help. But if you

26
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,640
listen really hard, maybe pick up a seashell. I think some people say you can hear the ocean.

27
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:07,840
Yeah. You can maybe, if you're lucky, hit the Mark Mosho podcast if you find the right seashell.

28
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:13,400
I think so. I think so. I actually had one of our loyal listeners from the radio station insist

29
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,120
that he could pick it up on a paper cup. Really? With the paper cup in the string. Yeah. That is

30
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,960
good technology. Seashell paper. It is really good technology. It's a shame we got away from that.

31
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:29,320
Exactly. Well, Big Telephone had to step in. Of course. Yeah. And destroy the paper cup industry.

32
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:35,280
Yeah. That's exactly what happened. But anyway, I want to thank Aidan for his guidance and support

33
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:40,840
over the past couple of months. It was a very difficult decision to leave the radio station,

34
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:48,640
but it was time. I won't forget WVLP in Valparaiso, Indiana. They got me to the start, right? It was

35
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:56,160
Bill Koch. And he let me flank him on his Under the Radar Sports Talk Show. It was a blast. It was so

36
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:04,040
much fun. And I learned how to do all of this. I also want to thank Greg and Paul, Ken, Larry,

37
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:11,000
John, my dear friend, Hannah, frickin' True Blood. The homie. Who is our homie for sure. They're all

38
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:17,280
amazing people in the radio podcasting community. And I appreciate their support. And I've learned

39
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:26,160
so much from them. My radio show After Hours is still on WVLP. So for those of you who used to

40
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:32,960
reach this show that way, you can still reach After Hours the same way. A little bit of a format

41
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:40,680
change. I'm strictly alt rock and Celtic punk now. Which tends to be a lot of fun. And we have

42
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:46,880
great music every Tuesday night at 9pm Central Standard Time, right after KC King's Night Ride,

43
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,760
which is John King's daughter. So I was super psyched that, like we've been talking about this

44
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,560
anyway, even back when I was at the radio station, like making it work so she could have that

45
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,680
opportunity on that night. True. Now you got two bangers in a row. Righteous. That's what we like to see.

46
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:08,120
It really is. So that's pretty great. They also stream at WVLP.org in the TuneIn app, because all

47
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,880
you beautiful people listening to this, most of you, will probably listen in that way. And then

48
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:21,080
locally, we are also Friday, drive time, 4 to 6. So that's pretty great. Listen After Hours if you

49
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:29,360
can. The Mark Mo Show podcast will be about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes of chaos and tom

50
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:36,480
foolery and all those sorts of things. I'm a menace to society, so I'll bring as much of that to the

51
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:45,920
show as I possibly can. And this guy is the guy being the dude. Allegedly. It's what we've been told.

52
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:53,360
It's fair. It's what we've been told. There are no court docs yet. Exactly. We have not yet dealt

53
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,960
with litigation or lawsuits. Certainly. But we've got a bright future ahead of us full of them.

54
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:06,240
I'm sure. I'm quite sure of it. But other than that, it's gonna be great. We have awesome segments,

55
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:12,120
review, preview, the other foods you just made the list, the 15, Carpe Diem are all going to

56
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,200
return. If you used to listen to the show, we're gonna bring that back. And then along with a

57
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,960
smattering of old segments and maybe a few new ones, we're gonna keep it fun. We're gonna keep

58
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:28,800
it fresh. So hopefully no two shows will be exactly alike. But we wanted to at least bring a lot of

59
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:40,240
the segments that you guys love and enjoy over to over to the podcast. I also I also want to mention

60
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:45,200
that they're gonna be well, there'll be new episodes about every week. So we're gonna we're

61
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:51,240
gonna try to be pretty consistent with that. But in addition to that, there are going to be one off

62
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:58,760
editions of the Mark Mo show where I conduct interviews. Now, they may just be 15 or 20 minutes,

63
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:04,440
and maybe we just include them within the body of some of our shows. Or we just let them be their

64
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:10,120
own thing. Especially if they're about 30 minutes, maybe we just kind of let them do their own thing.

65
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,360
And we call it something a little bit different, kind of like you do with After Dark. Certainly.

66
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:21,640
Yeah. So we'll figure that part out. But it's gonna be really great. We've had a lot of support from

67
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,240
the community. And, and there's a lot of people that are like, Oh, we can't wait to be your first

68
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:30,440
interview. So somebody is gonna have to be exactly somebody might be disappointed, but you can only

69
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:36,640
do so much, but it's gonna be really great. So I look forward to a lot of fun, a lot of fun with

70
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,400
them on the air, talking a lot of really good stuff. So I can't wait for that. I want to thank

71
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:46,840
the best Chamber of Commerce in all the land, the Valpo Chamber of Commerce. I want to thank the

87
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,720

88
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:44,320

92
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:10,000
beautiful people on the podcast every week. Um, so I'm super excited about that. Uh, anyway,

93
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,880
there's also quite a few people, uh, that have had my back, uh, along this journey. Of course,

94
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,960
the guy we just mentioned, Eric Sanchez, Mitch LaRock, our guy, Mitch has supported us. We've

95
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,120
supported him. It's been great. Uh, I've actually started talking to him again, which is great.

96
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,240
So who knows what we got going on there. So, uh, that could be something fun. Mark Mondo, Steve

97
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:34,480
Dentsman, Ryan Bratch or Ryan Boland, the Ryan's as I call them. Um, Kevin Boland, if we can ever

98
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,920
find him. Um, I heard there was a situation. Where's he been? Uh, stealing things, I guess. Um,

99
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:48,880
allegedly, allegedly, again, Hannah Trueblood, um, old friend, Taylor Sawyer. Uh, once again,

100
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:54,080
like Kevin, not sure where she's at, but, uh, maybe we'll find her someday again. Uh, she's

101
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,760
always been a huge supporter. Uh, Viva Chris minds. He's been a radio guy. He's done this Irish show

102
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:05,440
on a Polish station. Go figure. Um, but it was the Lord intended as the Lord intended, right?

103
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:11,280
That's right. Uh, so he had a great show. Brian Deniman, my Irish brother, uh, all my kids, uh,

104
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:19,520
this guy right here, Aiden, Alex, Sarah, Kara, uh, my crews at fluid coffee. Uh, they're amazing. Uh,

105
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:25,600
Valpo B dubs, cause I do a lot of my work there. So I got shout out to all my Valpo B dubs people,

106
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:33,440
uh, the zombie club in Crown point. Uh, Melissa is awesome and a really good friend. So shout out to

107
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:39,040
zombie club and shout out to Franklin house, which has kind of become my regular spot lately. Um,

108
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:45,840
I appreciate that they're very inexpensive or I should just say affordable, which is lovely, uh,

109
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,400
on a limited budget and a Tuesday booze day. All you find people out there hit Tuesday booze day.

110
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,280
Yeah. Even, even you guys in Ukraine, they had it hit it up, hit it up, not sponsored, not sponsored

111
00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:00,560
soon to be maybe, uh, we'll see how that goes, but, uh, those are all great places. Um, there's also

112
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:06,160
another group I'd like to thank. However, I no longer am kind of part of that group. I don't

113
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:12,320
really see them anymore. Um, maybe mostly my fault. I don't know. I suppose there's a lot

114
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:17,760
of blame to go around when things don't go right. Um, but I'm kind of tired of beating myself up

115
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:24,720
over it. Uh, during a super difficult time last year, these guys were amazing without question.

116
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:30,400
Uh, they were my second family. They had my back every step of the way and I had theirs.

117
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:36,000
Uh, I often featured them, uh, or their business on my radio shows and in my magazine articles

118
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,960
and all that kind of stuff. So I'm sad and frustrated and angry about everything that transpired

119
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:46,480
every single day. There, there isn't a day I'm not feeling a certain way about it. Uh, I miss them

120
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:52,560
a lot. Uh, some of my content, um, from my shows and even my articles and things like that was

121
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:57,760
even planned and written at their establishment. Uh, it was a place where you could go and you could

122
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:03,120
be creative and just kind of soak up the vibes and just let your imagination run and be amazing

123
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,040
how many times I'd go in there to write an article and bam, it was done. And I was just like,

124
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,520
this is just that atmosphere, you know, to kind of your brain is in that mode and it just would

125
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,640
definitely help out. But, uh, losing friends you love sucks, especially when they're still among

126
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:22,640
the living. It blows. Uh, I feel like a part of me died about a month ago, but I have to continue

127
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:29,840
on and lean into my content creation and my family and all of my new friendships that I've made

128
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:35,760
recently. Uh, but I'll never forget the great times that I had and the support and love that

129
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:53,040
they gave me. Uh, after this quick break, we're onto our first segment, a new Carpe Diem.

130
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:21,680
All right. We are back here on the Mark Mo Show podcast. I want to thank all of you for listening

131
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:30,800
in on our inaugural show at one season one or season one at one. I did that backwards,

132
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:36,480
but that's okay. I think is it not? I don't see any laws against it. I don't think there's a law.

133
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:43,040
No, I don't know. Maybe the FCC. Oh, the FCC. That's right. That's right. Wait, do they hold

134
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:49,120
power over us? Do they hold power over us? No, I don't think they think you're correct. I don't

135
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,200
think they think you're right, which is a beautiful thing. It is a beautiful thing. So the occasional

136
00:15:53,200 --> 00:16:01,360
curse word maybe slips out. Who's to say? Oh no. No. Oopsie. Oopsie. Someone said the bad fuck word.

137
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Made a boo boo. So sorry. Um, but this is Carpe Diem for you fine folks out there that don't know

138
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:14,560
what Carpe Diem is. Uh, that is DMs are sent to us. By the way, there's some stupid fucking show

139
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:23,600
on Roku. Carpe Diem. Homie, I came first. So see in court. Um, actually I can't afford an attorney,

140
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:30,800
so whatever. Um, but anyway, uh, we came first. So just give us props. I'm fine with that. I'm fine

141
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:36,320
with that. But Carpe Diem, you guys send us your DMs and we will read them here on the podcast for

142
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:41,920
you each and every week. And here's the beauty before we are on radio. So everything FCC inherent.

143
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:47,200
True. We had, uh, sometimes edit some things. Right. I don't think we have to do that anymore.

144
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,360
I don't believe so. That's, that's beautiful. Yeah. It is very nice. That's no more paraphrasing.

145
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,320
No. Unless it's like really necessary. Unless it's like we read it and we're like, oh my God,

146
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:01,280
is that Hitler? And then we're like, yeah, no, that's no bueno. That's a no go. No go for you buddy.

147
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:07,520
But no, let's, uh, Aidan, if you have yours lined up, let's roll. I certainly do. I got four DMs

148
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:15,280
this week for our, as you mentioned, inaugural episode. Got one here from Bumbo Jones. They ask,

149
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:23,600
would you rather be rich and famous or rich and unknown? Rich and famous or rich and unknown?

150
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:29,360
Right. Like under the radar, people don't know who you are. That's a good question. I think it

151
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:37,600
depends, in my opinion, depends how famous, you know, because like we've been doing content now

152
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:44,240
online, on air for several years. Yeah. Almost eight for me. Yeah. Approaching a decade.

153
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:51,760
So it's, it's not necessarily that we're striving for fame per se doing that. It's more so,

154
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:59,120
you know, a passion that, you know, people latch onto for entertainment value, for a laugh, you know,

155
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:06,000
just something to play in the background. So it goes hand in hand with what we're doing that,

156
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:13,200
you know, if you strike gold, then fame would go along with that. Sure. But if we're talking like

157
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:21,520
Justin Bieber famous, hell no. Like paparazzi in your face, stalkers, constant death threats

158
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:28,800
and hatred. I'm like, that is not the fame I would be okay with. Yeah. Because like, if you think

159
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:36,880
about it, like there's no, human beings are not built for that much social interaction or attention.

160
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:43,120
We're just not built with bandwidth like that. So if that's the type of type of fame we're talking

161
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:51,200
about, I'd rather be rich and unknown. I agree with that. Here's the thing. And you had mentioned

162
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:56,800
like stalkers before, because if you're, if you're, if you're rich, very wealthy, all that, that's

163
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:02,000
just something you have to contend with paparazzi, people in your face, the media, all that stuff.

164
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,960
So from a stalker point of view, I've been stalked twice. So I had a stalker three years ago,

165
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:14,880
it was a woman through the radio. And then recently, I think it was end of summer, beginning

166
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:21,360
of fall, I had an older gentleman who was kind of stalking me, right? Who had this idea of her show.

167
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:28,720
And hey, it's nice that you're interested, whatever. What was not,

168
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:34,880
just was not in the cards for this guy. And but he was relentless and just got to a point

169
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:40,960
where he starts calling me. He at the bar that I don't go to anymore. He showed up there, right?

170
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:48,560
He was kind of wandering around. It was like, weird. It's weird. Yeah. So to think on a, on a

171
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:58,720
localized small town kind of version of that, it was annoying enough. Sure. So to be rich and famous

172
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:06,160
and have like people like him always, yeah, like at you and like having to go file police reports

173
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:12,480
and do all this stuff. That's insane to me. It's crazy. Yeah, I would agree. And I don't think

174
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,480
any amount of money is worth like, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are

175
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:23,360
you going to do? Live behind like big walls and all that kind of stuff. And that's not healthy either.

176
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:29,200
No, it's just like, it would be nice to have that money. Use it how you want to use it, but still be

177
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:35,360
private enough about your situation where you can have nice things, but it's like, you don't have to,

178
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,960
it doesn't have to be, you don't have to be a constant public figure. Right. Yeah. Correct.

179
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:48,000
I completely agree. I think there's a difference too, between like Hollywood famous or like

180
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:54,480
politician famous versus like YouTuber famous. I think there's a distinct difference there where,

181
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,240
you know, you could have a couple million subscribers on YouTube. I wish I did, but

182
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:02,640
you know, eventually, eventually we'll get there. Hey, the couple of millions hit him up. Yeah,

183
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:07,920
exactly. Thanks in advance. But you know, a couple million subscribers on YouTube, first of all,

184
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:15,600
you're going to be financially well off. Secondly, you're famous, I would say in air quotes, famous

185
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:21,680
enough that maybe not a household name, but as far as like internet culture goes, you're known,

186
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:28,320
you know, certainly, but you can still go out and go grocery shopping without a dozen paparazzi

187
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,880
following you around. You can walk up and down small street mainstream and get a sandwich and

188
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,560
do a little shopping and probably not be bothered. Yeah, that's, that's probably the

189
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:43,120
extent that healthy fame could be out of my head. Yeah, that I wouldn't mind at all. Correct. You

190
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:50,000
know, but if we're talking fame as in Hollywood fame, new siree, that's a big no. Great. I agree

191
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:57,680
with that. I've got a DM here from the Lake Michigan. Wow. The actual lake shot me a DM here.

192
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:08,960
It makes me so wet. Yeah, about that. The lake itself asks, a genie gives you $200,000 straight

193
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:19,440
up, but then immediately offers you control of karma itself for the low, low price of 180 grand.

194
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:25,840
What do you do? Oh, I take karma. I take control of that karma, man.

195
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:32,400
Ladies and gentlemen, there's many of you that, that do not know the absolute hell I've been

196
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:42,080
through over the past several years. So you won't get to this, but I can use all the good karma I

197
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:47,280
can get. And if it costs a couple of bones to do that, let's go, right. Let's get that moving in

198
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:53,760
the right direction. That's true. That's true. And the way that Lake Michigan worded this,

199
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:59,920
it makes it seem like control of karma costs you 180 grand. Right. But realistically,

200
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:07,840
if you don't consider that $200,000 yours yet, then you could alternatively look at it like,

201
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:13,040
would you rather have 200 grand or have 20 grand plus control of karma? 20 grand plus karma,

202
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:19,120
which is exactly what I choose because of, if good karmas roll in my way, then good fortune is going

203
00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:25,840
to roll my way and everything, everything balances out as things should be. Right. And if you just

204
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:32,080
take the 200 grand and you live in this dog shit country, one medical emergency later, you have

205
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,640
zero now. You have zero. Because, you know, we don't have things like healthcare around here.

206
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,440
Right. So I think I would take the, the 20 grand in karma as well. Agreed. Yeah. I think it's more

207
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:47,760
fitting. A yucky Wilson asked, if you could spend a week on karma, what would you do?

208
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:53,600
If you could spend a week as any animal and then come back to your current self without missing

209
00:23:53,600 --> 00:24:01,280
any time, would you do it? And with which animal? I would do it. I think so too. I would do it.

210
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:10,000
Especially brain wise, if, if you understand that you're that animal. So after you're done being

211
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,440
that animal, you take that experience, you retain the experience. Like if you were to do it and then

212
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:21,600
come back and not have any knowledge of what you just did, it's kind of pointless. I, I, there's

213
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:28,960
like two animals right off the top of my head that I could think of. One would be a shark. For sure.

214
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:37,280
They terrify the hell out of me, but I'm also with the understanding there's really only one other

215
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:43,200
fish that is a threat to them. And so I would just stay away from killer whales. Sure. And I'd be

216
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,680
good. I'd be good. I just wandered around. It's kind of weakling. I'm not going to sit there and

217
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,920
eat people, but I might just scare people for fun. Exactly. You know, that, that might be kind of fun.

218
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,240
We do a little trolling. A little trolling. The only other thing I could think of would be like

219
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:01,600
a white tiger because tigers are awesome. They're probably my favorite animal overall.

220
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,560
But white tigers are just fricking beautiful. True. So I would do that for sure. And there's

221
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:15,600
not too many, there's not too many predators of a tiger. That's true. That's true. Unless you like

222
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:21,200
stumble upon some poachers in the middle of like wherever you are, which would be unfortunate.

223
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:28,640
I'm tempted to go like polar bear, you know, cause they're just huge and ferocious,

224
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,400
but then like you see pictures of them and sometimes they're just goofing around and like

225
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:40,000
eating some fish. So you can be, as a polar bear, you can do both. Yeah. Yeah. So I really like the

226
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:47,760
idea of polar bear. Or like maybe just like a snake, like a nice medium sized snake and just

227
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,880
kind of wiggle around the ground for a week. Right. You know, if it's a warm day, the sun's out. They

228
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,040
just literally lay there and chill in the sun. Exactly. And that's one week. I don't have to deal

229
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:02,880
with capitalism. Exactly. That is a fantastic point. Very true. And if you're like a rattlesnake,

230
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,720
once again, people like come near you, just be like a little rattle. Be like, oh my God. And then you

231
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:17,840
just be like, Hey, gotcha bitch. Gotcha. The final DM I received came from milkman. The milkman. The

232
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:23,600
milkman. Hmm. Guess he's getting around town. Would you rather never get paper cuts again or

233
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:33,120
never get stuff stuck in your eye again? I, I, as much as like paper cuts and cardboard cuts are

234
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:41,120
fairly inconvenient, I get stuff, hairs, dust, whatever, stuck in my eye so frequently. And it

235
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:48,400
is so irritating. I'm absolutely going with no more stuff in my eye. I just can't do it. I hate it.

236
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:55,520
Right. From someone with eye issues. Yeah. That's a problem for me. Even when I have like contacts in,

237
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,440
then you're just sitting there playing the, is it my contact or do I have a hair in my eye game,

238
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,960
which is an annoying game. Cause we're sitting there trying to fish a hair out of your eye.

239
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,200
That's not there. Right. Then you just irritate your eye. Now you gotta take your contacts out.

240
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:12,240
It's a losing battle. So I, yeah, paper cuts are not fun, but I get them so infrequently.

241
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:17,120
The eye's gotta be number one. I would agree completely. Yeah. Yep. That was your last one?

242
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:21,520
Absolutely. All right. I'm going to move on to mine. The first one that I have,

243
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:30,240
at Bad Moves Babe 7. Hey guys, love you, love your show. There's this amazing guy who really

244
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,920
likes me and I like him. He said something dumb. So I cast him into the seventh level of hell,

245
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:42,160
right or wrong move? Hmm. That is a question. That's very interesting. Bad Moves Babe 7?

246
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,800
Bad Moves Babe 7. So there were six predecessors of my, if I'm thinking about this right.

247
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:52,000
There are more Bad Moves Babes out there. Interesting. It's kind of a strange thought.

248
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:58,080
And it may be a bad move, babe. It could be, could very well be. You know, when there's a guy and you

249
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:04,160
like him and he likes you and then people are people, we make mistakes. The seventh level?

250
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,680
The seventh level. The seventh level. That's pretty deep. The seventh level of hell. It's amazing.

251
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,560
You know, just somebody says or does something stupid and you're just cast them into the fire

252
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:18,560
so quickly. Immediate cutoff. Yeah, that's a bad move, babe. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know about that

253
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,120
one. I think it's a wrong move. How many levels of hell are there? Was it like Dante's Inferno?

254
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:27,840
Dante's Inferno. Is there 11? Or just seven? I think it is seven. Or eight? Seven or eight?

255
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:33,200
I don't know. Yeah. I don't remember. But that's pretty deep in hell. I'm sure I'm going to one

256
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:38,720
of them. So. Maybe you'll see Bad Moves Babe 7 down there. I'm certain of that. I am certain of that.

257
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:44,000
But at which level? Yeah, at which level? Bad Moves Babe, wrong. Wrong move. Yeah. Definitely

258
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:52,880
a wrong move. I have at Mega Marty 1776. Oh, God. Yeehaw Boys. We back and we've taken it back to

259
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:59,760
the 60s. The 1860s. Of course. Of course. The south will rise again. Jesus Christ. Mega Marty.

260
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:09,600
Oh, boy. Okay. There is no FCC. Very true. I'm trying to... He was nice enough to send us a

261
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:20,160
message, as stupid as it was. I'm just going to say, maybe, just maybe, it's 2025. That's true.

262
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:26,960
And we should live in that time. Ideally, right? Ideally, that time where we're, you know, we,

263
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:33,840
I don't know, we're more sophisticated as a culture, as a group of people. More inclusive. Right. And

264
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:39,360
you'd imagine... More caring. You'd imagine that human beings with empathy that would come naturally

265
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,560
to them. You would think so. You know, to be inclusive and of course empathetic. But yeah,

266
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:55,200
you called a Mega Marty 1776 does not seem to have that seemingly human empathy, which is... Lacking.

267
00:29:55,200 --> 00:30:01,120
Very, very disturbing. So, Mr. Marty, you will not be receiving a Christmas card from me.

268
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,920
No. At all. No. No. And that may be the last time Mega Marty is on Carpe Diem. But hey,

269
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:13,440
it's not... I don't make the call. Well, wait. I do. I do. Yeah, I think. I do make the calls.

270
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:23,280
Yeah, he's done. Anyway, the next one is at Barfly Bart 33. It's a mouthful. That is a mouthful.

271
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:32,000
2020 was bad. 2024 was bad. And 2025 has been a shit show out of the gate. Drinking myself into

272
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:38,720
oblivion is my strategy for the year. What do you guys think? Barfly Bart. I'm guessing that's short

273
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:47,760
for Bartholomew. So... Yeah, we can say that. So Bartholomew, I would just say Uber or Lyft.

274
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,400
Just be careful. Yeah, I have absolutely no comments on the strategy.

275
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:58,720
But I would just say keep up that great work. Never do anything less than 100%. I'm all in.

276
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:04,640
I am as well. I'm all in for that. We support you, Bartholomew. It is a strategy I've been

277
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:13,680
part of so far for 2025. It's worked for me. Although, and for folks out there that do enjoy

278
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:20,320
occasional beverage, when you have a tolerance that is as high as mine, it's kind of hard to get to

279
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,840
that oblivion part. Sure. It's like Dr. House with the Vicodin. Oh, really is. Where you're eating

280
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:33,440
them all the time. And it's to the point where it creates poor cash flow. If I'm there like,

281
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,840
hey, I want to drink myself into oblivion, and it's going to take 12 or 15 beers to do so.

282
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,240
We're just going to have to start cashing in on Spiritus or Everclear maybe.

283
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:48,880
Right. I think we're looking at straight grain alcohol at this point. Perhaps a little absinthe.

284
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,680
Absinthe. Sure. We'll see how it goes. Maybe gasoline. I don't know. Right.

285
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,520
But we'll figure this out. The options are on the table. The options are definitely on the table.

286
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,520
Last one. Take a guess, ladies and gentlemen, especially you that have been friends of the

287
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:16,240
show. At stonerstanley420. Oh, my man. He says, hi hi, Mo Show and album. Album. Your album.

288
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:22,720
I guess I'll take it. I was on the radio station and I not find you're talking to me. Oh, no.

289
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,680
Where is Stan? He is stonerstanley, ladies and gentlemen. You'll figure this out if you don't

290
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:36,560
know him already. Where can I listen the Mo Show? And did you guys ban Kevam? Kevam. By the way,

291
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:46,000
Kevam is in my trunk. Oh, well, Stan. Well? Is he well? Is he breathing?

292
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,640
Yeah. Is he well? And it's hard to ban someone when they're stuck in your trunk. So that's

293
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:56,240
something to keep in mind going forward maybe. But thanks for checking in. You can find us right here.

294
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:02,880
Absolutely. We love you, stonerstanley. Keep the DMs coming. Exactly. If you have any DMs out there,

295
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:08,160
hit us up on the socials. You can add up the Mark Mo Show podcast. We've got our own Facebook page.

296
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:15,120
Mark Maloney, I've got mine. Definitely send that friend request. That's perfectly fine.

297
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:22,720
That's true. If you're cute, definitely send the friend request. For sure. If you're not,

298
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:29,120
definitely send the friend request. Do it anyway. Do it anyway. I love everybody. So please send it

299
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:39,280
along. And Stan, if you have any connections to, let's say, lobbyists in the state of Indiana,

300
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:50,320
I would just recommend suggesting, forcefully, in a way, maybe the legalization of a certain herb

301
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,240
in the state of Indiana because all the neighboring states get all the lovely tax revenue

302
00:33:54,240 --> 00:34:00,640
from selling this green herb. And we get none of it. But people still buy it over state lines,

303
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:08,080
allegedly. Allegedly. I'm not one of them because I can't from my job. But let's just say it does

304
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,800
happen. It does. It definitely does. Get down to that Indiana Senate. I think you need to do that.

305
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,320
Yeah, for sure. You definitely need to do that. Food for thought, Stan. Get on that, Stanley.

306
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:21,200
I wouldn't keep Kevin in your trunk while you go there. No, that'd be a bad move. I think abduction

307
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:26,720
is a felony. Yeah. It kind of brings me back to Doe Pinder in Deadpool. Oh, sure. When you had

308
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:30,480
that guy in his trunk and then he got in the traffic accident. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be a bad move.

309
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,680
Yeah. Do Vance have a trunk? I thought he had a van down by the river.

310
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:41,520
Oh, that's right. So he just has him in the back, the cargo area. He must. Well, maybe Kevin's

311
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,600
comfortable or Kevin is comfortable then. He might be. And maybe that's where all those stolen items

312
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:52,080
from Dix are at. Oh, yeah. That's a reference to the AK-209 podcast. It certainly is. So check

313
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:56,720
that podcast out too, by the way. For certainly. We're now on to another segment called The Other

314
00:34:56,720 --> 00:35:02,880
Foods. And now we are foodies. Food is something we will from time to time talk about on this podcast.

315
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,200
And occasionally eat. And occasionally eat. I'm actually eating a slice of pizza now

316
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,520
from a local gas station here in Valparaiso. And it's not that bad. It's a little cold by now,

317
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,160
but that's okay. We eat cold pizza anyway, right? That's true. It's not bad. Yeah. It's

318
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:24,080
not bad for gas station pizza. I feel like gas station food has really over the last five years

319
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:30,160
accelerated. Has improved. And has excelled in quality and taste. And it's very surprising

320
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:35,040
and promising. It is. It is for sure. And as a matter of fact, speaking of gas station food,

321
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:40,640
before we get onto the segment, I was with a bunch of friends and we took a friend of ours. It was

322
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:46,400
his birthday. Michael. Happy birthday. Works at B-Dubs here in Valparaiso, Indiana. And he had his

323
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,240
birthday. So the plan was he wanted to go up to the casino. We went to the casino. There are about

324
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:55,760
eight or nine of us, however many. And we just, we had a good time. I didn't gamble. I don't mind

325
00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:00,160
gambling, but I gamble when I have something to gamble with. If your smell with the rock is

326
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,560
cooking. So I just went for a couple of beers, have fun time. I can have fun time anywhere.

327
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:11,120
So we had a good time. Anyway, we're on the way home. We closed the bar at the casino as I do. I

328
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:17,040
close bars. It's what I do. It's kind of my thing. So we're leaving and all my friend Cody and I

329
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:22,880
could talk about was White Castle. And so I had that on my brain and kind of when I'm out super

330
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:28,960
late and you get that, you've been out late drinking and it's like, I'm hangry. Why I need food.

331
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,200
And it's one of two things, right? It's Taco Bell or it's White Castle. Cause they're open. Very

332
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:40,800
true. So I'm on the highway. I'm heading back and this truck is in my way. Now off of I-9480 in here

333
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:45,200
in Northwest Indiana, you have to get off this exit called exit 15, which takes you into this town.

334
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,440
It's got the White Castle. That's open 24 hours. Very true. Trucks in my way, trucks in my way,

335
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:54,640
trucks in my way. Bam. We're past the exit. I'm like, now I'm angry. Now I'm really angry at this

336
00:36:54,640 --> 00:37:00,720
truck. And I'm like, uh, so there's an exit called exit 19. That's the next one and has a Taco Bell.

337
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:04,800
So I'm like, okay, plan B we're going to make plan B work. They have a really good cheap menu anyway.

338
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:14,160
So that's great. True. I get there. They just closed. Oh, at this point, gas station, gas station.

339
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,640
And, and my friend Jess and Cody, they'd been talking about, Hey, make me a ham sandwich. So

340
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,760
I'm like, I've got a ham sandwich. That's, that's what I'm going to do. And it was okay. That's

341
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:30,480
fantastic. Yeah. So gas station food. It is a fantastic plan C. Sleeper. Yes. Definitely sleeper.

342
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:39,600
I have for the other foods. Yes. A real special one here. I found it. I was on this article

343
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:46,960
that was like crazy foods from the 1950s because, you know, at this point, Hellman's mayonnaise

344
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:55,680
just somehow got a stranglehold on white culture in the 1950s. And it's just so many recipes that

345
00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:03,280
include mayonnaise, like really absurd quantities of mayo. And I found one that sounded particularly

346
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:12,320
strange. Okay. It is a lobster relish casserole. So I'll read the excerpt from this article here.

347
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:18,080
They say enough just can't be said about this one. This little jam is a complex, but perfect

348
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:24,640
accompaniment to your monthly horror book club meetings. I would argue that point. Yeah. Right.

349
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:31,120
In parentheses, they say, and we can guarantee the only one who won't relish is the lobster.

350
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:38,880
LOL. Oh no. End quote. Dad jokes coming out. Yeah, exactly. The ingredients, one, two pound lobster,

351
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:48,000
12 shrimp, half of a gallon of mayonnaise, green olives, pimentos, potatoes, lemons, and lettuce.

352
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:55,440
That's gross. Like all that together. Half a gallon. Way too much mayo. Of mayonnaise. So

353
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:02,000
what they say is you have to boil the lobster, slice up enough avocados to make a faux rotary

354
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:10,320
phone design on top of the lobster. Oh no. And then you like carve the lemons into like little

355
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:16,480
baskets to hold things, right? And then decorate them with the pimentos. Then you press the

356
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:26,240
mayonnaise lobster chunks into a jello mold. Oh. Top with extra mayonnaise. You've tinted green.

357
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:34,640
No, no. To quote, evoke the many moods of the ocean. To evoke many. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

358
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:40,560
And then you make a shrimp merry-go-round on the top to symbolize the happy dance of seafoods

359
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:46,000
and a lettuce leaf in the middle just because. You arrange the potatoes like little lobster eggs on

360
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:52,400
a bed of seaweed, lettuce, of course, and then the lobster legs, which of course are mayonnaiseed

361
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:58,560
around the outside. Around the outside, around the outside. My brain went there as well. Good.

362
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:05,520
Good. Yeah. That's our lobster relish casserole. Oh my goodness. Straight out of the 50s. Oh,

363
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:11,760
that's so out of the 50s. Oh my God. Absolutely stay in the 50s. We don't need to bring that

364
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:16,560
back. And I would recommend none of us do. But yeah, it just came across that and it just felt

365
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:23,680
right to bring that up. Yeah. I mean, Jesus. Half a gallon of mayo. That's a lot. That's too much.

366
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,640
That's a lot of mayo. That's too much. Way too much. Yeah. So if anyone out there wants to make

367
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:34,080
this or has tried this before, let us know how it was because we will not be. Well, yeah. And it's

368
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:41,200
also, it's also the fact that you brought up the jello mold. Right. Why would you have to shape the

369
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:48,480
lobster chunk mayonnaise bits? I'm not sure. I just, I mean, just for show. Like half of what

370
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:54,160
the instructions were were just for show. Yeah. Presentation. So maybe just that. But like,

371
00:40:54,160 --> 00:41:00,640
whatever happened to just having some lobster? Maybe put it on a sandwich. Yeah. I mean. And

372
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:07,920
what was with the relish? There wasn't even pickles. Nope. How weird. That's, that's, that's,

373
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:16,080
that's too much mayo. That's too much mayo and it's too much to think about. Yeah. Like, like,

374
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:23,360
usually, like you can conceptualize how something will taste by looking at the ingredients or maybe

375
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:29,520
by having had something similar before. I cannot fathom what that might taste like. No. At all.

376
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:36,160
And I'm fine with it being that way. Happier even. I am too. Yeah. I never want to try that.

377
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:41,520
Absolutely not. I mean, it's not so strumming. Stay tuned. Exactly. It's not so strumming, but

378
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,880
it's not something I'm lining up for. No, exactly. I would agree. No, for sure.

379
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:54,480
Well, we're about to take a quick break here, but one thing I want to do too, kind of on and off

380
00:41:54,480 --> 00:42:01,360
here on the Mark Mo Show podcast, are dad jokes. So my friend Maeve, she works at Fifthird Bank

381
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:09,840
in, not sponsored, in Valparaiso, Indiana. She's super awesome and hits me with dad jokes constantly.

382
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:15,920
And so she has inspired me to do a dad joke. Good. Each and every episode, which I think we should do.

383
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:25,600
And so how many tickles does it take to make an octopus laugh? Oh, God. I am aware of this one.

384
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:32,480
Work with me. Ten tickles. Ten tickles. Ten tickles. Ten tickles. That one's for you, Maeve.

385
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:37,280
I think she's on vacation. I hope you're having a fun time. Anyway, yep. We're going to hit up a

386
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:56,160
break and we're going to be back with our number one all time segment. You just made the list.

387
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:29,840
All right, everybody, we are back. Mark Mo Show podcast. Thank you so much for listening in.

388
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,960
We're going to try to be with you every week. It's going to be a lot of fun.

389
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:40,080
And we're going to also have an interview kind of version of this as well. So when that comes,

390
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:45,280
we'll let you know. It's going to be a lot of fun. And this has been great so far, Aidan. Absolutely.

391
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:53,280
With my son, Aidan Maloney, AK219 is his podcast. Check that out. It's a ripping a roar, whatever

392
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:58,080
you guys say. Romp and a rave. Romp and a rave, ripping a roar, whatever. Ripping a roar. It's a

393
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:05,600
goof and a gaffe. It's a goof and a gaffe. It's fun and frolicking. Frolicking? I'm just going with

394
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:13,600
alliteration. That's all I had. A guffaw? A guffaw. A hijink? A hijink. At least one or two. We

395
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,600
limit it to one. Otherwise it would just run too long. That's a good point. That's an excellent

396
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:22,640
point. Well, we are now on to you just made the list. That's our top 10 list that we will do

397
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:28,800
every week and it can be on everything and anything. And the only rule is that there are no rules.

398
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,680
That's very true. There are no rules. There's no judges. There's no FCC. I was just thinking that.

399
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,920
I love that, baby. This is very true. So all this, we're pioneers. This is a whole new world.

400
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:42,720
Exactly. Whole new world for the Mark Mo Show. You're welcome. Indeed, you are welcome. So here

401
00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:49,520
we go. The first one, the first show is going to be our favorite songs of 2024. Now I told Aidan

402
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:55,440
this off the podcast, we're setting up and doing all the stuff. I was like, man, I had so much

403
00:44:55,440 --> 00:45:00,560
trouble with this. It's tough. Because it's your favorite song and how many genres do you have and

404
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:05,760
some genres and everything else. And the stuff I was listening to two years ago and I'll listen to

405
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:11,440
as much. I'm listening to different music now. So yeah, it was a challenge. Yes. Very tough. So

406
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,600
yeah, it's our top 10. We go 10 to two and then our big number one reveal. Aidan, I'm going to let

407
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:20,720
you start out, man. Okay, that's probably a good thing because I have some honorable mentions.

408
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:26,640
As we wait rules. Hold up. Rules? Oh no, no, you're good. You're fine. Yeah. Honorable mentions that

409
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:32,080
I just had to bring up, even though they unfortunately did not make my top 10. Fuel by

410
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:40,080
Eminem and JID. Dark Matter by Pearl Jam. Useless by Freddie Dredd. Too Sweet by Hozier. Habits by

411
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:48,080

412
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:55,520
Eminem and Sly Piper are my honorable mentions. Very good. 10 to two, withholding the big number

413
00:45:55,520 --> 00:46:02,800
one. Number 10 is On the News by Freddie Dredd. Okay. Fantastic track. Very good. Number nine is

414
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:10,160
Like That by Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar. Number eight is TV Off by Kendrick Lamar

415
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:16,160
and Lefty Gunplay. We can see a trend for them. I'm seeing a trend. Number seven is Atavista by

416
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:22,560
Childish Gambino. Great track, good album. Number six is You Ain't by Freddie Dredd as well.

417
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:28,240
That's just, it was tough because I have like several favorite albums of 2024. I'm like,

418
00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:33,600
that's good. That's good. That's good. So yeah, we can see a trend here. Number five, Heart Part

419
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:41,680
Six by Kendrick Lamar. Number four, Ratata by Tyler the Creator. Number three is Bad One by Eminem and

420
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:49,680
White Gold. And number two, Wacked Out Murals by Kendrick Lamar. That's by 10 through two.

421
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:55,120
All right. I have one honorable mention. I'm just going to say a lot of songs by Maniskin.

422
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,760
Oh, that's good. I failed to put them in here. When I looked at my top 10 list, I'm like,

423
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,840
oh, that's a pretty good list. And I'm like, wait a minute. Like they had like three songs I really

424
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:09,200
liked. I'm like, okay, I'm just going to say songs by. Yeah, they had a solid 2024 for sure.

425
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:17,680
All right. Number 10, A Bar Song by Shaboosie. Number nine, Lunch by Billie Eilish. Number eight,

426
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:26,160
Nowhere to Run by Kings of Leon. Number seven, Starburst by Fontaine's DC. Number six, Loose

427
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:36,080
Control by Teddy Swims. Number five, Good Luck Bay by Chapel Rhone. She's blowing up. Good for her.

428
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:41,840
Good for her. Yeah. Number four, Too Sweet by Hozier. Good song. Number three, Overcompensate

429
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:46,800
by 21Pilots. And I could have put three or four different songs by that. That's true. They also

430
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:52,800
had a good year. And number two, even though I'm not a country guy, there's a non-country guy on

431
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:58,320
the track. So I felt it was okay. I had some help with Post Malone and Morgan Wallen. That's true.

432
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:06,960
It's kind of a banger. I withhold my hatred of country music because I have definitely heard

433
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:13,200
the track before because when you're stuck in cab in a truck, which is my job, it happens with

434
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:17,600
someone that listens to country music. You're going to hear that four or five times a day.

435
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:23,680
So I've heard it a lot. Post Malone sounds great as always. Morgan Wallen, that's certainly a human

436
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:32,480
being. It's a human. Yep. I get it. The number one reveal. I wonder if it's the same. I have a weird

437
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:39,600
feeling, a strange feeling. Number one, Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar. I mean, you're talking one

438
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:45,920
of the best diss tracks of all time and it is a fucking bop. Dude. Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.

439
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:55,600
Gonna do my stuff. Yeah. They Not Like Us. It's just such a phenomenal track. It's great. It's

440
00:48:55,600 --> 00:49:02,320
really good. It's great. It's a great track and it's a diss track. True. It can be both. It can be

441
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:07,840
both. He did both. Which is impressive. Yeah. It's very impressive. So yep, I had the same one, Not

442
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:18,400
Like Us by Kendrick Lamar. Great track. I'd just say it's just a bop. It is. And lyrically, it's just

443
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:27,280
solid. And I mean, just some of his shots in there are impressive. Exactly. Yeah. If you're in the

444
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:33,600
know, it's impressive. Yes. It's very good. Lyrically, it's phenomenal. Oh, I agree. I agree.

445
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:40,080
He's had a hell of a year. Yes. So yeah, as we always say, feel free. Feel free to share with us

446
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:49,360
any of your lists as well. We will read them. We will laugh. We'll chuckle. And then we'll throw

447
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,120
them in the garbage. What we still appreciate. Exactly. Exactly. It's not like that counts.

448
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:58,400
If you want us to burn them, we're open to that as well. We can do everything. We're

449
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:05,040
capable. Yeah. Traveling faster than light, only on weekends. True. That's true. You have to know

450
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,640
your own intentions. Physics can't handle us sometimes. It can't. It just can't. It can't.

451
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:17,600
But we know. We know. We know. Anyway, we're now on to review preview. Now, review preview for once

452
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:22,720
again for all you noobs. Review preview. I review a movie and I preview one coming up or one that's

453
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:29,840
just been released. And so I saw this movie. It got a lot of talk. Had a tremendous cast.

454
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:37,840
And I was curious because we here at the Mark Mo Show podcast, we are fans of horror. Not whores.

455
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:44,560
Horror. That's a tough word. Horror. It's a tough word because one little slip in phonetics. Right.

456
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:50,160
Now you're talking about different movies. Right. And us midwesterners have such a way of talking

457
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:55,840
that like some, not all words, but some words just get shortened for, you know, the sake of being

458
00:50:55,840 --> 00:51:01,760
concise. We'll lose a consonant or a vowel. Or both. Or both. And like horror, if you really

459
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:08,240
emphasize the second R sound, horror. Horror. It doesn't really flow, you know. We like horror

460
00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:14,880
movies. Horror games. Horror movies. Horror movies. Yeah. Horror movies. Yeah. You say it fast

461
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,400
enough. It's like, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What kind of movies are we talking about? Brother.

462
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:28,960
You good? Hold up. Yeah. So, Nass Faratu is a movie that I reviewed for the magazine. And I gotta say,

463
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:37,440
I'm a fan. So. Fairly bueno. Very good. The modern gothic classic directed by Robert Eggers

464
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:45,120
stars Bill Skarsgård, who is amazing. Absolutely amazing. Lily Rose Depp, the daughter of Johnny

465
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:52,880
Depp. She's phenomenal. Aaron Taylor Johnson. Nicholas Holt. Emma Corrin. Willem Dafoe. I mean,

466
00:51:52,880 --> 00:52:01,840
just a top notch cast. It takes place in an eerie landscape in 1838 in Weisborg. A tale of love,

467
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:07,520
despair, supernatural horror. Ellen, a young woman haunted by the dreams of death and desolation.

468
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:14,160
She prays for companionship only to attract the sinister attention of Count Orlok, aka Nass

469
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:20,880
Faratu, an ancient vampire. Her husband, Thomas Hutter, is an ambitious estate agent. He embarks

470
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:28,640
on a precarious journey to sell the decrepit Schloss Grundelwald to the enigmatic Count,

471
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:34,400
unaware of the dark pact binding them. As Thomas ventures into the Carpathian Mountains. Yeah. If

472
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:39,200
you're ever in the Carpathian Mountains, do yourself a favor. Turn around, get the hell out. Just leave

473
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,720
the Carpathian Mountains. Just leave the Carpathian Mountains. It's the best thing you can do. Good for

474
00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:49,440
your health. He encounters the local Romani who warn him of the malevolent vampire. Their fears

475
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:56,640
manifest when he witnesses a desecrated corpse that awakens in an agony and omen of the horrors

476
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:04,400
to come. Orlok's presence is palpable. His thirst is insatiable. Good words. You can use them if you

477
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:12,240
want. Big vocab. Big vocab. That's right. When he drinks from Thomas, you know what, he's a vampire.

478
00:53:12,240 --> 00:53:17,040
Yeah. I don't have to explain it anymore. The veil between life and death begins to unravel,

479
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:23,200
plunging Weisborg into nightmare. Back at town, Ellen's health is deteriorating. She suffers from

480
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:29,760
sleepwalking, violent seizures, revealing the grip of Orlok on her soul. As the town is ravaged by a

481
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:37,280
mysterious plague, her pleas for help lead her to Dr. Wilhelm Sievers, who's played by Willem Dafoe

482
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:43,760
and the reclusive scientist Albin Eberhart von Franz. I'm sorry, that is played by

483
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:50,800
Willem Dafoe, who understands the dark force of play. Together, they uncover a horrific truth.

484
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:58,880
Orlok is the Nosferatu, an embodiment of death and decay. As the clock ticks down, Thomas races

485
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:06,640
back to sacrifice. She lures Orlok to her chamber, allowing him to drink her blood, which also

486
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:12,400
ultimately leads to his demise at dawn. You know vampires in the sun? Yeah. Not good. No bueno.

487
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:18,640
No bueno. Yet the price of love is steep. Ellen succumbs to the darkness, leaving Thomas to grapple

488
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:24,960
with the loss and haunting shadows of desire. The film is an art piece and a love letter to the

489
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:30,720
original silent film that came before. I give Nosferatu four out of five stars. Very good.

490
00:54:30,720 --> 00:54:36,720
Very very good. Cinematography is unbelievable. Just a lot of different visuals that are very

491
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:43,200
washed out color, almost black and white at times. Very dark. You don't really see Nosferatu the

492
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:50,560
first couple of times because he's buried in the shadows in just certain, like this fireplace,

493
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:55,200
you kind of see his silhouette a little bit. So you're not really like aware of how hideous

494
00:54:55,200 --> 00:55:00,560
this thing is until a little bit into the movie and especially that last scene which is unbelievable.

495
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:06,080
So yeah, I really enjoyed it. Not your average horror movie. If you're into jump scares, if

496
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:10,880
you're in a gore, if you're in all that, you're going to be kind of disappointed. If you're into

497
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:16,240
film noir, if you're into like all that old-fashioned stuff, this is it. Cinema. It is

498
00:55:16,240 --> 00:55:23,120
cinema. Absolutely. 100%. So good. So I do definitely recommend that. And then there is a newer movie out

499
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:31,040
for you fine folks and that one is called The Damned. Now The Damned is interesting because

500
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:39,360
it is also really what I consider more of almost like an indie film. The way it's made, I would

501
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:44,240
guarantee it's a low budget and it takes place during the 19th century at a winter fishing

502
00:55:44,240 --> 00:55:51,440
outpost inherited from her late husband. It's kind of like, basically it's an Irish film.

503
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:56,960
Irish actors and the whole thing. And it's very Viking-like but the Vikings and the Irish,

504
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:02,880
it's a thing. Right. So like it makes sense why all this came together and how it did.

505
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:09,920
But yeah, so it's kind of the same deal almost as Nosferatu in a way because without getting

506
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:14,560
into a lot of details, it kind of takes place in this fishing village. It's winter, they're stuck

507
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:20,640
there. There's like 12 of them. One woman who's kind of like a little girl who's kind of like

508
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,960
who's kind of, well actually there's two and they're kind of like running and helping

509
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,600
things behind the scenes while these guys are trying to fish in the wintertime, not having

510
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:36,080
much luck. So the food is very scarce and there is this ship in the distance and there's these

511
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:40,880
big rocks and so it's caught up on the rocks and this thing starts to sink and they're like, hey,

512
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:45,440
should we get out there and help these guys? And it's kind of like they made the difficult decision.

513
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:50,800
No, because then what happens? We lose half of us. Then it's like, then we're all doomed. So they

514
00:56:50,800 --> 00:57:01,120
make that decision, but it ends up haunting them. Ah, curious. Yes. So very good. Once again,

515
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:10,960
very haunting, scary, but not in a traditional way. Right. Just kind of in the things you feel and

516
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:16,480
the things you don't see, but the things you know are coming. Right. So it's very, very good

517
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:23,920
that way. So yeah, so that's The Damned. Check it out. As I said, it's kind of this indie Irish film,

518
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:28,560
but it's really good. I enjoyed it. Righteous. Yeah. That's fantastic. So it's more of a preview,

519
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:33,680
preview, because I was going to review it and then the one day where I was going to see my friend

520
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:41,920
Sully and I was kind of like, well, I'm here. I have to see it anyway. So you get a review,

521
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:47,600
review for the price of a review preview. Exactly. Yeah. So you're welcome for that.

522
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:54,080
And then I suppose it's worth mentioning, we just lost a director. We lost a G, David Lynch.

523
00:57:54,640 --> 00:58:01,600
Fantastic. So some of the films that, well, first off, let's be honest, Twin Peaks, that was his

524
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:08,400
thing. And it was, it did last long. I think it was like two or three seasons. I think maybe it was

525
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:14,000
two seasons, but it was such a cult classic. Yeah. It was such a hit. And I felt like it gained

526
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:23,440
popularity much further later on. Right. But I mean, it's artwork. It's amazing. But he also

527
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:29,440
directed The Elephant Man, which is an award-winning film, Dune, the original Dune from 1984, like The

528
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:38,000
Good Dune. Right. He directed that Blue Velvet. Do yourself a favor and watch Blue Velvet. What a

529
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:43,600
fantastic film. Isabella Rossellini is fantastic. He did an amazing job with that Wild at Heart,

530
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:50,880
great movie, 1990. He did a movie called Twin Peaks Fire Walk with me. Wasn't as much of a fan

531
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:55,600
with that, but he was just kind of trying to further the story along on the big screen. And

532
00:58:55,600 --> 00:59:00,080
it just, it didn't work out all that great. Lost Highway, The Straight Story, Mo Holland Drive.

533
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:06,080
Mo Holland Drive is a very good movie as well. And yeah, I mean, he'll be missed. He was definitely

534
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:13,600
a legend. Yeah, absolutely. And the community for sure. But that's it for all of the good review,

535
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:22,800
preview, and movie talk on this edition of the Mark Mo Show podcast. And I believe we have something

536
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:28,880
before our next break. It's something that we incorporated, I think we started doing last year,

537
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:34,880
as a segment called While You Were Sleeping. Now, Aidan pretty much stays within pop culture. So it

538
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:40,720
can be music, it could be a TV show, it could be a movie, it could be gaming. We do some gaming talk

539
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:45,840
on here as well. And so they're kind of maybe more retro things that maybe you missed, maybe

540
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:51,280
something more recent that you missed. But that's what his job is to do, is to find those things and

541
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:58,000
be like, hey, you wake up, you miss this. And that's what Aidan's about to do. Exactly. What did we

542
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:04,240
miss while we were sleeping? While You Were Sleeping, a little indie horror game that I did,

543
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:08,320
in fact, play on my YouTube channel, but this is unrelated. This is the fact that you all were

544
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:16,160
sleeping on it. We did. I think it's like $5. So it's an inexpensive game. But it is called Night

545
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:25,520
Drive. Okay. Night Drive. Not to be confused with the WVLP show Night Ride. Yes, exactly. Very

546
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:30,560
similar sounding. Indeed. Quite different. Once again, we're from the Midwest. You gotta be careful.

547
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:35,920
Exactly. We say things kind of fast. We talk fast and we miss a few letters. Whoops. Oops. Anywho,

548
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:43,280
Night Drive, a captivating driving simulator. Driving simulator is kind of not all that it is,

549
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:49,440
but that's how they start off the article that challenges you to navigate a seemingly endless

550
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:56,000
night in search of anomalies to break a mysterious loop. Oh. So it's an anomaly finding game where

551
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:05,280
you have to drive through this loop. It's a game based in Thailand. I believe the creator is Thai,

552
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:11,680
if I'm not mistaken. Night Drive, you find yourself behind the wheel on a deserted highway,

553
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:16,880
deserted in air quotes. Gotcha. That's where they get you. Under a blanket of stars, the road ahead

554
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:21,120
is long and winding with only the faint glow of your headlights illuminating the path. The goal is

555
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:27,120
simple yet profound. Drive through the night until the sun rises, thereby breaking the loop. Oh,

556
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:34,800
okay. And escaping the eternal darkness. So you're behind the wheel. Crazy shit starts happening

557
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:40,800
around you, right? People try driving you off the road. See how it's not deserted? There could be

558
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:47,600
people haunting you in your car trying to kill you. There is this one, not to like spoil any of the

559
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:52,400
crazy jump scares, but there is this one where you're driving along and everything seems fine.

560
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:56,960
Like at the end of the road, you have two paths. If you notice something went awry, you have to go

561
01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:04,160
left towards the zebra shrine, which is this little shrine that you drive past to like cleanse the

562
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:10,000
anomaly from that run. Okay. If you didn't notice anything go awry, you go right because that road

563
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:15,840
was correct how it should have been. And like you're driving along and you pass all these little

564
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:21,520
huts and billboards and you're driving through the mountains and everything. And there's a woman in

565
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:27,280
the hut, just a woman in this big white robe. And like, as you're driving past, she looks at you

566
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:32,480
and disappears. It's like, oh, well that's fucking creepy. And you're driving along. You're like,

567
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:39,280
oh, okay. I guess I'll drive past this like zebra shrine. And you don't notice until it's too late,

568
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:45,920
but she's in your rear view mirror. Oh no. In the back seat of your car. And once you notice,

569
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:50,560
and you look up at the rear view mirror, she starts peeking her head up towards the driver's seat.

570
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:57,040
And it just like stares you down as you're driving. And if you drive off the road,

571
01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,240
because you're in the mountains, you drive off the road, you die and the run ends.

572
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:07,040
So you're like being panicked, trying not to die while she's like eyeballing you down. And then

573
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:12,640
she like fully climbs up into the driver's seat and like blocks your view. It's terrifying.

574
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:18,320
That sounds terrifying. I would open the door and fall out. Yes. I would do that. I would

575
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:23,520
almost do that on purpose just to escape. I'd be like, okay, scrapes, a couple of broken bones.

576
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:29,920
I'll take the risk. Yeah, worth it. But Night Drive, highly recommend it. Of course, not sponsored.

577
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:36,800
This just happened while you were all sleeping. But yeah, an amazing game that doesn't cost

578
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:41,360
more than a couple bucks and you get some good scares out of it. So I would highly recommend.

579
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:46,160
All right. Well, that's awesome. Well, I love that segment. We're going to bring it back to you.

580
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:50,880
And thank you for that, Aidan. We're going to take a quick break and then we're on to our last

581
01:03:50,880 --> 01:04:07,680
segment, the 15.

582
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:41,760
All right. We are back. We are in the homestretch of the first episode. I hope you guys are enjoying

583
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:46,080
the show. We are having a great time here. And that's the whole idea. We're just here to have

584
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:56,240
fun and hopefully you guys will laugh and chuckle and chuckle. A guffaw. A guffaw, perhaps. You're

585
01:04:56,240 --> 01:05:01,200
allowed one. You're allowed one guffaw a day. Exactly. In this economy, we have to ration.

586
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:05,440
That's important. But you may have a guffaw. You may have a guffaw,

587
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:11,280
but your health plan will not cover that. Exactly. Just so you know. Yeah. All right. We're on to the

588
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:19,440
15. And once again, it is similar to our top 10 list, but different. So what we do is we do research,

589
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:26,480
Reddit, Google, whatever, and we come up with various lists, top 15 lists, and it could be

590
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:32,800
anything, anything statistical, anything. And the whole idea is we try to stump each other.

591
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:38,480
You get three strikes, just like in baseball, and you try to name as many as you can. So we

592
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:44,880
challenge each other each week to do this. So if you don't mind, I'll go first. Absolutely. And

593
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:54,400
I'll let you wrap things up. Certainly. So here is my 15. This is, now mind you, I'm even going to

594
01:05:54,400 --> 01:06:00,480
give you a little hint here because it could be tough otherwise. Okay. Is that it has to do with

595
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:06,000
cities, but it doesn't mean they're major or all big cities. So just keep that in mind. Gotcha.

596
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:11,360
Gotcha. Not that they're random. They're all pretty well known, just not all major cities. So

597
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:21,760
anyway, my 15. US cities people are flocking to according to a study last year by Yahoo Finance.

598
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:26,640
Oh, wow. I was going to do the other way, cities people are leaving, but I'm like,

599
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:30,720
where, people are leaving, where are they going? Right. Right. I found that very interesting. So

600
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:36,960
yeah, so what do you think? Where are people going? Oh, that is a great question. Where are people

601
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:47,040
going? Well, I know there's, there's a lot of population influx into Texas. So I'm tempted to

602
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:52,640
go with some cities in there. The unfortunate part is I only know a handful of Texas cities. Okay.

603
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:58,240
And most of them are the major ones. So I'll just, with the three strikes in mind, and hopefully not

604
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:07,280
getting one off jump, I'm going to say Houston. Houston is number two. Houston number two. Yep.

605
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:11,600
Feel free to play along at home folks. You'll just have to keep track of your own strikes.

606
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:20,320
So Houston's number two. That's good. Let's see. Do I dare? Do I go with Austin, Texas?

607
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:26,400
You could. I think I'll try and lock it in. Austin, Texas is number nine.

608
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:35,600
Ooh, okay. Okay. Two for two. Two for nine. That's good. Where else would they be going? I know

609
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:42,720
people aren't necessarily flocking to Chicago, which is unfortunate. It's really their loss.

610
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:49,840
Question is, are people going towards LA? No, no. Well, maybe actually.

611
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:55,120
Hmm. This is the tough part about the 15. This is the tough part. Unintentionally trip yourself up.

612
01:07:55,840 --> 01:08:02,000
I'm actually going to stay in Texas. Okay. Hopefully not going to the well one too many times.

613
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:10,480
I will say Dallas, Texas. Dallas, Texas, number one. Ooh, that's good. Number one. That's a good

614
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:16,080
feeling. We got one, two, and nine locked down. Yes, you do. Question is, do I also include San

615
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:24,640
Antonio? You could. I think I will. San Antonio, Texas. Number five. I found the cheat code. It's

616
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:33,440
all Texas. Oil jobs and no taxes. I know, right? Well, that's pretty good. We got those four

617
01:08:33,440 --> 01:08:42,640
locked down. No strikes just yet. Ah, but that's kind of all major cities. Where would people be

618
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:49,680
going for minor cities? Could be somewhere like Indianapolis. I know Indianapolis is growing

619
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:56,560
at a fairly consistent rate. Hmm. Let's try. Let's say Indianapolis, Indiana.

620
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:02,480
That is your first strike. Oh, strike numero uno. To be fair, they were in the top 20, but not the

621
01:09:02,480 --> 01:09:06,480
top 15. Damn. See, I had a feeling. You were in the ballpark. I had a feeling. You were in the ballpark.

622
01:09:06,480 --> 01:09:10,560
Unfortunate. It's good knowing they were in the top 20 though. I wasn't that far off.

623
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:18,960
Oh boy. First strike. Where else would people be going? Is the question. People be going

624
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:26,160
somewhere like San Diego maybe? Got to be somewhere in California. Or maybe people are going to like

625
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:35,680
the Midwest more? Perhaps. If Indianapolis is in the top 20, could be, hmm, maybe somewhere like

626
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:45,040
Nashville. Let's try Nashville, Tennessee. Nashville, Tennessee is not correct. All right.

627
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:52,000
All right. Strike numero dos. We're on the hot seat now. Yeah. That's unfortunate. I would go back to

628
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:58,720
Texas, but I've run out of cities that immediately come to mind. There's another state without tax.

629
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:06,560
There is another. Oh, Washington. Maybe. Well, Washington is one. I'm thinking of something warmer.

630
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:13,680
Oh, maybe a little Florida. Florida action. Could be. Miami's expensive, but would they be on the

631
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:20,320
list? Could be Naples or Fort Myers maybe. Orlando. Orlando is expensive too though.

632
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:32,000
Hmm. Interesting. Interesting, interesting. Let's try Miami. Miami, Florida. Did I choose the one

633
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:37,440
city that's not on there? Yeah. Of course I did. No, Miami. That is the third strike. Damn. You

634
01:10:37,440 --> 01:10:44,160
ended up with four out of the 15. Shucks. Number 15, Orlando. Of course. Number 14, Daytona Beach.

635
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:53,920
Oh, I always forget they're there. 13, Atlanta. That makes sense. Number 12, Phoenix. Oh, I always

636
01:10:53,920 --> 01:11:00,480
forget they're a thing. Number 11, Sarasota. I wouldn't have guessed that. Number 10, Fort Worth,

637
01:11:00,480 --> 01:11:05,920
Texas. Yeah, I probably should have thought of that. Number eight, Lakeland, Florida. Wouldn't

638
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:10,160
have thought of that at all. Number seven, Jacksonville, Florida. That one I should have

639
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:16,560
had. That's silly of me. Very silly. Number six, Charlotte, North Carolina. Should have thought of

640
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:24,960
that one too. Number four, Tampa, Florida. Tampa. Silly. And then number three, Irving, Texas.

641
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:28,640
Irving. I would not have thought of Irving. That's where the Cowboys play. Bastards. I know.

642
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:34,880
Coming up. So there you go. You got four. Four. Man. After I got off to such a hot start too.

643
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:38,640
Like I said, it was a tough one, but there are a few other bigger cities in there. I was thinking

644
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:43,200
about six for you. Yeah. That's what I was thinking. Ah, shucks. Well, maybe if I started

645
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:47,280
somewhere else in Florida, I could have. I think you would have pulled it out. Yeah.

646
01:11:48,480 --> 01:11:53,360
Damn. That's unfortunate. I'm glad I didn't go SeaTac area. Oh gosh. That would have been an L.

647
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:58,320
That would have been an L for sure. I've got a 15 for you as well. All right. And the lovely

648
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:03,280
listeners, of course. Let's do it. 15. We've done one similar to this, but we have not done this one

649
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:13,280
specifically. Top 15 best-selling car brands globally. Oh, okay. So globally, best-selling

650
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:20,320
car brands, not car specific model, but the brand itself. And this is current as of 2022 slash 23.

651
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:27,760
So things have moved up and down, but I think the list is still fairly accurate as of 2024, 25 that

652
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:35,600
we are in now. And I kind of had to source this from two different articles because they had one

653
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:40,560
that was like, Oh, best-selling cars of 2024. But it's one of those things where it shows you the top

654
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:44,800
three. And then the other one is like, subscribe to see the full list. And it's like, well, fuck

655
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:53,120
you buddy. So I got a 2022 list and a 2023 list and I merged them. That's fine. So top 15 best-selling

656
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:58,880
car brands. You get three strikes and so do the lovely listeners. What do we think? Okay. Well,

657
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:04,880
let's just go right for the big dog. Let's say Ford. Ford number five, number five, number five

658
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:12,480
at the Ford. Uh, it's gotta be number one. Toyota, Toyota number one. Absolutely. How about Honda?

659
01:13:12,480 --> 01:13:19,040
Honda is number three. Okay. People love Japanese cars. They do. I do not blame them. How about

660
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:26,960
Hyundai Hyundai number four, the big number four, four out of top five, right off jump. I love that.

661
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:36,080
Uh, okay. Let's now, now things get a little challenging, a little bit, a little bit. Let's

662
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:43,920
say Chevy Chevy as part of GM number seven. Okay. Yes. That's Chevy Buick GMC and Cadillac. Got it.

663
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:52,880
So GM is that. Yep. Um, doing pretty good so far. Zero strikes. Pretty good so far. Zero.

664
01:13:53,600 --> 01:14:03,200
How about Subaru? Subaru. Let's have a look. See Subaru not on my list. I disagree. Those outbacks

665
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:07,520
are everywhere. You turn a corner, there's an outback. Turn another corner. There's one. Oh,

666
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:10,960
look, there's two. Wait, they're the same. Are they same car or not? I don't know.

667
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:18,960
They're everywhere. If, if they have made the top 15 as of 2025, I wouldn't doubt it necessarily.

668
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:25,520
But like I said, my data is two years old, unfortunately. So I'm sorry. You could be correct.

669
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:30,480
I'm sorry. I'll take, I'll take, I'll take the out. That's fine. No problem. Strike numero uno. Okay.

670
01:14:30,480 --> 01:14:44,800
Um, let's, no Subaru, but other popular cars globally. Yes. Globally. How about BMW? BMW number

671
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:50,160
13. Okay. Okay. Good. Good. Good. On the list indeed. Let's stay in Europe. How about Mercedes?

672
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:56,000
Mercedes Benz number 10. All right. I like it. That German, that German build. Don't call it

673
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:00,720
a comeback. I've been here for years. Okay. Oh, I won't do that again. Well, stick to happy birthday.

674
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:05,040
Stick to happy birthday, Christopher Walken. I know where my strengths lie.

675
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:16,400
You know, I love cars. They're really great. They get you places. Um, fantastic insight. Yeah.

676
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:24,000
Thank you, Christopher Walken. Um, shite. There are several on here. I know you can get. Sure. I'm

677
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:29,440
sure. I will say there are a couple that are really deep cuts. Yeah. Yeah. How about I'll go

678
01:15:29,440 --> 01:15:36,480
with the deep cut. I'll, I'll throw this out there. How about Daihatsu? Daihatsu? No, unfortunate.

679
01:15:36,480 --> 01:15:41,840
It's a fantastic deep cut though. I like where your brain's at. All right. Okay. Should have known

680
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:48,800
this one. How about a Kia? Kia number eight. Cause you can do anything in a red Kia spectrum. Yeah.

681
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:55,360
Yeah. God, what a car. What a car. Not sponsored. Should be a PBR and red Kia Spectra. Exactly.

682
01:15:55,360 --> 01:16:01,600
They should give me one of each. Many of each. Why not? Why not? Okay. So we got the Kia.

683
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:06,800
Yeah. I'll take a 12 pack of red Kia Spectra. Please. Where are you going to put those all?

684
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:16,400
You know where. Um, it's kid's show. No, no, it's not. We need to do with a tree that big Griswold.

685
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:22,960
Bend over and I'll show you. Hey. It's so nerve talking to me like that. I wasn't talking to you.

686
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:32,400
Love it. Okay. Shit. Um, still one strike. We're still not on the hot seat. We're in the game.

687
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:38,720
We're in the game. That's good. Lock down Kia. Lock down Kia. That was important. I would have to

688
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:49,520
shoot. I feel like I should know this. Ah, God, that's not right. Um, let's. A lot of cogs in that

689
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:55,120
brain turning. I know. Some of these are luxury brands and I know that that's just, I'll throw

690
01:16:55,120 --> 01:17:02,720
Tesla out there. Tesla? 14. Okay. They have gone up since then, but yeah, 14 at this time. Okay.

691
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:09,920
Very good. I didn't want to say it, but yeah. Okay. Um, we're doing really good. I'm sure this

692
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:18,880
isn't on it, but I'm, I'm failing. My brain is failing right now. Um, is Chrysler part of GM?

693
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:25,840
They are not Chrysler. Chrysler is part of Stellantis Chrysler Fiat and Pugot. I've never

694
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:32,560
understood how to Pujo. Pujo. Uh, number 11. All right. Very true. Very good. It's good. It's good.

695
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:41,120
It's good. You are now missing five, only five. Damn. Okay. With only one strike. That's right.

696
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:48,480
Uh, I guess where it gets tough. I'm where it gets tough. I'm going to say Porsche and I know

697
01:17:48,480 --> 01:17:54,320
it's probably not on there. There's not on here. That's strike dose. God darn it. I think two of

698
01:17:54,320 --> 01:18:00,160
these remaining five, you would be remiss if you missed. Hmm. There's three on here that are kind

699
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:07,760
of tough. They're tough. Yup. Yeah. Okay. On the hot seat. It is, it is very hot. It's very hot.

700
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:19,600
Uh, Dodge is GM, right? Dodge is not GM. Okay. Dodge at strike number three. Oh man. I believe

701
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:26,640
Dodge is part of Mopar. Oh, okay. Uh, but yeah, they did not make the list or they got out of that.

702
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:33,120
I don't know. Car companies are weird. I'm so sad. Hey, 10 out of the 15. I'll take the 10.

703
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:38,080
It's solid. I'll take the 10. The 10 was good. Good performance. Number 15 is a Chinese car

704
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:43,760
company named Geely. Oh, Geely. Yeah. I don't have one of those. No, me neither. I don't even

705
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:49,360
think we could buy them. Number 12 at this time. I think they're not currently, but at the time,

706
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:56,960
Suzuki number 12. Okay. Uh, number nine BYD, a, another Chinese car company. Number six,

707
01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:05,120
the Nissan Reynolds group. Nissan. Nissan. Nissan's pretty big. Number two globally,

708
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:14,400
Volkswagen. Das Auto. I'm so angry. I'm so angry. 10 out of the 15 is a very good performance. It is

709
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:18,800
a good performance. It is a good performance. I'm very, I'm very pleased and pleased as punch,
