5
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:31,640
Podcast we are on our third episode of our first season here out in the web

6
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,200
osphere on YouTube and all the various podcast platforms. I'm your host Mark

7
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,800
Maloney along with my co-host and host of his own show, AK219 - Guys Being Dudes.

8
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,800
It's Aidan Maloney, how are you? Doing pretty fantastic. How about yourself?

9
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:57,320
I'm doing well. Usually after a week of work and whatnot, I'm like why do we do this?

10
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:03,440
Right. Why do we do this? Maybe the hobo life is the life for me. Yeah. But

11
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,440
surprisingly it was pretty good week. Fantastic. That's great to hear. I too get

12
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,320
the vibes of like you know what, what if I just jump on some trains you know. That's

13
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:18,160
what I'm saying. Travel for free. I know right? Just see how it works out. Yeah. You

14
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,240
know, live that lifestyle, do odd jobs here and there, travel town to town. Right.

15
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,960
It is getting return green. That's a different guy. Yeah. But anyway. Yeah. I

16
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,000
don't know the reference. That's Bruce Bixby from the Incredible Hulk. Bruce Bixby.

17
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:40,560
Yeah. Oh no. Who's Bruce Bixby? No, no, no, no. You've been using a Samsung too much.

18
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:46,200
Okay. Samsung. Maybe it's something else I've been using too much. Now, the actor's

19
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:56,280
last name. Famous. Bruce Banner. Bruce Bixby. We might have to rename the episode now.

20
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:05,680
Holy. Oh no. No. The actor's last name from the TV series was Bixby. And his Bruce Bed

21
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:12,040
cheese is correct. You know, we just started. This is going to be how it is guys. This

22
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:18,640
is crazy. But yeah, so that was a Bruce Banner Incredible Hulk reference. Of course.

23
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:24,200
Really. Bruce Bixby. Who is he? Is he your accountant? I don't understand. Oh man. Everyone's

24
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:30,640
favorite. Everyone's favorite. Shout out to Bruce Bixby. Shout out to Bruce Bixby. He's

25
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:36,960
our number one fan. He's our, yeah, he's our biggest fan. Oh, by far. By far. Almost a

26
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,600
stalker. Well, it's that's the thing you don't want is you don't want parasocial relationships

27
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,880
like that over the as you called it webosphere over the webosphere. It's probably not the

28
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,480
best idea. But something about Bruce Bixby just really tugs at the old heartstrings.

29
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:58,600
Doesn't it? Yeah. Bruce, what a guy. Mr. Bixby makes you feel away. No, he does indeed.

30
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:06,400
Well, it's going to be that episode guys. So buckle in. Had any rate. What's up everybody?

31
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,760
This is this is good stuff. We're going to hear we're going to have some fun. We produce

32
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:17,240
new content weekly on all podcast platforms and YouTube as I mentioned before. We're also

33
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,200
going to have some one off interviews. I actually have an interview set up next week with the

34
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,560
YMCA here in Valparaiso, Indiana. So that is going to be a really interesting conversation

35
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,760
about heart health. So that will be it'll either be a component of the next episode

36
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,720
or depending how it goes, maybe it's just going to be kind of its own its own thing.

37
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,800
Right. And we'll kind of think we'll just play it by year on how how that goes. But

38
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,120
I think that's a good idea. I think so too. I think so too. And I really I really do like

39
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:51,960
doing interviews, whether it is bringing health concerns to light or other concerns

40
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,760
within the community or maybe something more lighthearted or helping out a business. I

41
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,720
just like doing that stuff. So very true. Yeah. So we'll definitely make it part of

42
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:06,440
the show at some point. And if you like the Mark Mo show, and I hope you do, please like

43
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:11,560
and subscribe by the way. Check out my radio show, which is called After Hours. Now it

44
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,480
currently resides on a radio station in Valparaiso. It's WVLP. So you can go to the website

45
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,920
WVLP.org. That's where the streams at so you can hit it up there or you can go to the

46
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:27,720
Tune In app on your phone and you can listen to it that way. And I believe you can yell

47
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,600
at Alexa. And I think she'll she'll find the station. She can play it that way too. So

48
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,480
very true. Very convenient. Very convenient. So a lot of ways you can reach that. At some

49
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,360
point I'm taking the radio show because I can't do it traditionally like a podcast.

50
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,680
I have to do it a little bit of a different way to the copyright. So I I'll probably move

51
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,640
it over to internet radio at some point maybe during the summer late summer. And when that

52
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,200
happens we'll let you know. Very true. It's exciting stuff. It is exciting stuff. And

53
00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:02,880
I love doing the radio. I love music. And the show currently is Alt Rock and Celtic

54
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:08,080
Punk from yesterday and today. That's kind of the whole vibe. And it's a lot of fun

55
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,720
because there's you know there's great alt stuff from like the late 80s early 90s and

56
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:18,960
on and even the Celtic Punk stuff you can go back to you know to like the the pokes and

57
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,000
groups like that early on and moving forward and just a lot of a lot of good fun music.

58
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,200
Very true. That's the point. So check it out. It is a pretty good show. I think. And if

59
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:36,320
you are local and you are listening on the dial would be Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. Central

60
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,240
Standard Time and Friday 4 p.m. Central Standard Time. So check it out. Check it out if you

61
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:48,440
can. And you should also check out AK219 guys being dudes. Podcast with my co-host Aidan

62
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:58,080
Maloney and Kevin Boulonde. I thought it was Kevin Bixby. It is Kevin Bixby. Bruce Bixby

63
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:03,760
is his father. Yes exactly. And Kevin is Bruce Bixby's grandfather. It's a confusing family.

64
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,560
It's a confusing family. You know they do a lot of stuff in set. We'll leave that alone.

65
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,840
Anyway. Roll Tide. Am I right? Roll Tide. And yeah it's a great show. So do you want to

66
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,680
take a minute or two and just shout out what you got going on? Goof in the Gap. Romp in

67
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,680
a Rave. What did you call it? A riff in a Wrath? A riff. Something like that? A riff

68
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,960
in a Wrath. Yeah. But it's a grand old time. We've got a lot of fun segments on there.

69
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,960
Of course you can catch it at YouTube Patreon everywhere that you can find podcasts. It's

70
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:38,560
just a good time. It is a good time. It is probably one of the more unserious pieces

71
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,920
of media you can consume. But that's kind of how we want it. Right? Because you know.

72
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,600
There's enough bullshit out there. There is plenty. There's too much in my personal opinion.

73
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:54,520
But yeah it's just a fun time. It's an hour every week. Give or take. And it's just a

74
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,000
fantastic time. And of course we do gaming on our YouTube as well. And that's a lot of

75
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,600
fun. That is a lot of fun. And I think you should briefly mention an episode that you

76
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:12,040
just recently had that ladies and gentlemen let me just tell you. Holy shit. I mean you're

77
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,840
gonna laugh. I mean you don't have a funny bone in your body if you don't laugh at this

78
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,160
episode. It's hysterical. It was such a fun time to record. It's called I Love You Colonel

79
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:30,400
Sanders A Finger Looking Good Dating Simulator. It is so fun. I don't know if they did voice

80
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,360
acting or not for it. But there didn't seem to be an option. So Kev and I just made up

81
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:42,880
a bunch of different voices for all the characters. Yeah. And it I mean the game itself is comical

82
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:52,200
right? Sure. But in between our goofy voices and our takes on the different happenings of

83
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:58,880
this dating sim. It was hilarious. I had so much fun recording it. I had a shit ton of

84
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:04,520
fun editing it too. It was just fantastic. That's amazing. And so I mean you guys can

85
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:10,560
check that out and they have a they have a significant back catalog. So by all means

86
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:17,080
hit it up. Start at the beginning if you want just from the standpoint of I remember how

87
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:24,480
it started right you guys right little clunky little clunky out of the gate but your evolution

88
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,320
from the beginning to where you're at now it's unbelievable and it's it's such a good

89
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,640
podcast and everybody should listen. Well I appreciate that. Absolutely. And so Aiden

90
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:43,920
and Kevin how long you guys been friends it's been. Oh man since 2019. So what's that six

91
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:50,560
plus years now. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. It's a while. Yeah. And so the focus of our

92
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:56,480
opening monologue today is going to be I don't know what would you call it. If it is a monologue

93
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:03,240
if I'm if I'm speaking on a subject but then if we discuss it it's no longer a monologue

94
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:08,040
comes a dialogue. I love that. Yeah. I love that. Then let's call it that. The opening

95
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:14,560
dialogue opening dialogue. That's it. See late night TV could never know. Yeah. We're

96
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:18,800
doing it first. Not like this. You're welcome. No way you are. We're trademarking it. So

97
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:25,160
fuck you. TM. That's right baby. So you know I'm sure friendship is is one of those words

98
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:31,360
that it's difficult to define really. It can mean many different things to many different

99
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:39,080
people. For me I often I often say friends of the family you choose. I've used that moniker

100
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:45,160
for a long time. That's something I really stand by and by saying this I don't mean to

101
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:55,040
diminish what family may or may not be to you. But you you find friends which is which

102
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,920
is the interesting thing the universe just aligns in such a way that it allows you to

103
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:05,920
meet someone and what happens from there is is kind of magical. Like you can't you can't

104
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,760
define it. You can't explain it. It just kind of happens. So that connection between two

105
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:15,640
people is really amazing to me that two people who didn't even know each other. Even though

106
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,680
they existed all of a sudden you meet and you just really can't explain it. I just find

107
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:24,840
it so interesting. And so over time what you share stories and jokes and good times and

108
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:30,760
bad and there's laughs and tears and fist bumps and high fives and lots of hugs and

109
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:36,120
I'm so lucky to have so many amazing people in my life. I love being there for my friends

110
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:42,840
in recent years. When I've been down they've been there for me. Recently my friend Jess

111
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:50,360
did something amazing for me and it wasn't something I asked her to do. I know it wasn't

112
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:56,320
easy for her to do it but she wanted to do it. She wanted to help because she knew how

113
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:03,800
broken up I was over a lost friendship and with someone that she's also close with. So

114
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:09,280
I know she wants the best for both of us and I know she's rooting for us to figure this

115
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:17,960
out. And I really appreciate what she did and she's an amazing person and I'm so happy

116
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:24,320
to call her a friend. And I single this out because it's just kind of the most recent

117
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:32,320
example and an example that it just blew my mind and not that the group of friends that

118
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:37,120
I have wouldn't do things for me. Lord knows they have and they've been behind me during

119
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:43,560
some super rough times and it's amazing to see that and it gets emotional. It gets emotional

120
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:49,240
because you're just like man you know I didn't expect this from these people but it's like

121
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,600
friends of the family you choose man. That's very true and it kind of loops back to the

122
00:12:53,600 --> 00:13:00,880
point we were making earlier about you know kind of being unserious because of the quantity

123
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:06,320
of bullshit that this world tends to offer on a regular basis. Yes. And then you know

124
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:11,580
from being unserious it can loop back around to like what you said where it becomes emotional

125
00:13:11,580 --> 00:13:18,320
because you can see the you know true potential of what humanity is ideally supposed to be.

126
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:24,800
Yeah. You know relationships full of empathy and care and of course like you said goofs

127
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,760
and gaffes and laughs. Of course. But yeah it can get emotional because you know often

128
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:40,240
times people don't take the extra time to be introspective about their relationships

129
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:46,360
and friendships and how important they are. Yeah. Or to I don't know look back on fond

130
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,920
memories you know because if you don't exercise it maybe you lose the memory. Yeah that's

131
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:56,200
true. Yeah. That's very true. Maybe that's a tip. Get a little introspective. Yeah I love

132
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:04,160
that. That is that is such a good tip. And you know the main the main idea here is that

133
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:11,100
I don't care who you are. We have an end date. Right. All of us you know whether is for some

134
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:16,600
of us it's sooner unfortunately and for many of us it'll be 70 75 80 years who knows maybe

135
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:25,880
even longer than that. But we all we all pass. And so that's why I've come to kind of re

136
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:33,320
evaluate how I treat friendships in terms of like if you have disagreements or maybe

137
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,240
you just haven't hung out in a while or you've drifted apart or whatever the case is. You

138
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:45,720
have to understand that you might not be around tomorrow they might not be around right tomorrow.

139
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:52,160
So I think it's just so important that you cherish what you have. And if these people

140
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:59,560
are important let them know how important they are to you. And that could be a text.

141
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,960
It could be a phone call. You know it could be hey what do you do in Saturday. Let's grab

142
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,440
a beer right and catch up or whatever. I mean it's it's so important to do that. Or if it's

143
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:15,480
someone you're mad at. Hug it out man. It's like unless it's something so terrible where

144
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,680
it's like yep I'm definitely not speaking with that person again or whatever and sometimes

145
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,120
people change we get all that. You know that's we're not going to go into the weeds there

146
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:29,400
now. Right. But for most things you know something minor and that could end a friendship. It's

147
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:34,640
like it shouldn't. Why would you do that. Right. Why would you do that. Why would you

148
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:41,520
not be like you could be mad at someone. I get mad at people. But if I care about them

149
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,880
whatever I'll get over in a day or two right and we'll have a beer and we're fine. Yeah.

150
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,840
And I think that's the best way to do it. Yeah. Clear communication is always key in

151
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:56,520
any type of relationship friendship or beyond. And you know if that begins to break down

152
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:02,280
then that's I mean that's highly unfortunate. Right. Because you know that's kind of the

153
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:10,280
basis of all human interaction is communication right. Yes. So yeah that's that's a very important

154
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:16,920
important part that you bring up there. It really is. And it really came to the forefront

155
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:27,080
when I learned that a friend of mine Melissa Sobko I met her at Loyola University of Chicago

156
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:33,120
and she was always the best person. She was so super nice and she had passed away and

157
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:39,280
I'd spoke to her in July and when I spoke to her in July she lived in the northern suburbs

158
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:44,120
of Chicago and I really hadn't had much touch with her kind of on and off over the years

159
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:49,600
right. But she reached out kind of on her own it was just like hey Maloney blah blah

160
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,800
I see her in Valpo I'm like yeah she's like well like you live there like that's home

161
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,160
I'm like yeah I said I've been here for years blah blah and we talked to she's like well

162
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:03,160
I'm thinking of moving there now she went to high school of Andrian for you folks not

163
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:08,880
in Indiana that that's a Catholic school in Lake County and her father lives in New Carlyle

164
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:15,720
that's a small lake town which is just north central Indiana I guess is the best way to

165
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,680
put it. Right. But anyway she had roots here so she was going to come and maybe move to

166
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,400
Valpo and I thought ah how cool is that I'm like well I'm your guy I'm like I'm here and

167
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:29,600
happy to show you around or whatever and she passed away in September and like no one like

168
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:35,720
we didn't know about it. Right. Right. And our group of friends is it's pretty vast it's

169
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:43,720
a big group of friends and at Loyola they called us the campers and we were probably

170
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,620
a larger group than most of the fraternities and sororities on campus. Wow. And we just

171
00:17:48,620 --> 00:17:53,480
had this great group of friends and with people watch Star Trek and you know the Borg we just

172
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:58,000
kind of assimilated people and we meet someone and be like okay you're one of our style.

173
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,200
You're in. You're in and that's just the way it is which is kind of interesting because

174
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,640
there's one of those in a place called B-Dubs here in Valpo and this group has kind of grown

175
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:14,560
naturally and we've assimilated a lot of people and so that like this has been happening and

176
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,520
I'm like you have no idea how comfortable I am right now because this is like I've been

177
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:23,440
here and done that it's been years but I know how all this is going to pan out. Right. But

178
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:28,560
at any rate getting back to the subject Melissa was awesome she always enjoyed hanging out

179
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:39,480
with her. She loved animals, loved her dogs and you know we had that reconnection and

180
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:45,360
it was kind of heartbreaking that gosh what was it July August of that so it might have

181
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:50,120
been like six weeks from the time we talked to when she passed and I'm like holy cow.

182
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:58,520
Wow. That just really it really blew my mind. Right. It really did blow my mind so and she

183
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:04,280
she wasn't that old. I mean people pass away in their 40s or 50s. It's got to be like damn right

184
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:10,600
you know and of course there's lots of different ways you can pass but then result right that's

185
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:16,040
we talked about here no longer on this earth and it's just it's a it's a messed up thing so at

186
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:22,240
any rate like I said she was really a great person she's definitely missed by many if anything our

187
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:27,520
entire group of friends started chatting again over this and you always as you get older you'll

188
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,760
learn this and all you millennials and Gen Zers you're gonna learn this that there's like groups

189
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:37,000
of friends and sub friends and stuff that you kind of drift apart from and unfortunately as you

190
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:44,560
get older people pass but if you once again when bad things happen if you can kind of find a silver

191
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,200
lining and things like that it's the it's brings a group of friends back together again right you

192
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:55,760
know talking about memories and that sort of stuff so I guess that's the silver lining in a lot

193
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:06,440
of this so I would just say once again don't don't be dumb don't be stupid just like if you get in

194
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,720
disagreements with your friends whatever sometimes friends need a little distance sometimes people

195
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:18,200
need to be angry or frustrated but in the end solve it figured out hugs kisses whatever you do

196
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:25,640
and just figure it out figured out and because those friendships are huge right and life is short

197
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:31,640
and life is short so just don't don't fuck it up right basically what I'm saying don't fuck it up

198
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:38,120
don't be too proud yeah that you can't you know maintain these friendships even when things happen

199
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:43,360
right you know you definitely can and you know I understand that all friendships last forever

200
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:50,280
sometimes they don't I know I have like somewhere between 12 and 15 like super close friends that

201
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:56,480
I let in my circle these would be the friends or family group maybe right I suppose I cherish those

202
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:01,320
friendships and you know if something happens you hug it out right you talk about things you work

203
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:10,120
on the friendships in many ways friendships are like relationships and both I guess I guess you

204
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:15,200
can put it this way it's like caring for a flower right so if you ignore that flower you mistreated

205
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:23,240
whatever it's gonna wither and die and I feel like if you water it and you care for it flowers

206
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:30,760
gonna flourish friendships are a lot like that sure so you can't you can't sit there and abuse it

207
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:37,080
and be mad at someone and then just let that go and let it go and let it go because otherwise

208
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:42,320
then it just dies yeah it's done and there's no reason to do that so I know I'll miss Melissa

209
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:48,440
and miss that opportunity we had to reconnect before she passed away all I can do I suppose is

210
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,360
just try to be a good friend to all of my friends my group of friends and to those still around

211
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:57,280
and let them know I appreciate them and I love them I think at a Facebook post and pretty much

212
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:04,600
said that today and it's heartfelt I've got a big heart I know you do too probably a genetic

213
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:10,640
defect that we got from Papa and other people but curses curses damn it why do I wear my heart

214
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:17,160
and I sleep but we do and we have a big heart so you know we love and we care hard but when we're

215
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:27,280
hurt we hurt bad you know we hurt really bad so it sucks but anyway yeah just work on those

216
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:34,080
friendships just work on them if you got that friend you've been mad at since since 2018 pick up

217
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:39,080

219
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:53,400

233
00:24:54,200 --> 00:25:02,520
joint pain again it's a tough one twenty grand twenty twenty grand is a nice comfortable amount

234
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:10,160
of money helps definitely helps it's not crazy it's not enough to retire on unless it's like 1920

235
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:20,000
right but never feeling joint pain again I mean granted I'm in my 20s still right and doing this

236
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:27,440
laborious job I have the old back and knees start to get to me sometimes oh sure and considering

237
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:34,360
I'm experiencing that in my 20s I have no idea what my 30s and 40s are gonna hold or beyond so

238
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:43,840
it's one of those things like do I do I take that now like as an investment in my health or do I

239
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:49,040
take the instant gratification of twenty thousand dollars right exactly that's the tough part

240
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:56,200
ah twenty thousand dollars can buy a lot of tiger balm that is true that is true several

241
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:03,040
year supply depending how quickly you go through tiger balm and there is inflation and and tariffs

242
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:09,080
and when yeah all right stop we're gonna stop there we're gonna stop it no we're the fun show

243
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:17,040
ah man twenty grand twenty grand just may not be enough I don't know it seems like but then again

244
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:22,120
like you said if I take the never feel joint pain again and then I get hit by a bus tomorrow

245
00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:27,560
mm-hmm that's not gonna be a good time right it is not a good time but twenty grand I might just

246
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:33,440
take the twenty grand right now you know that's a good idea yeah because you're still young

247
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:42,720
enough to adjust your lifestyle sure you can push off some of that pain and suffering that many of

248
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:48,520
us middle-aged folks have to deal with certainly but I'll be honest I'll take that no joint pain

249
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:53,880
no joint pain yeah I got a cash in on that for sure wake up sore like there is always a pain

250
00:26:53,880 --> 00:27:00,680
somewhere and I'm like what the hell did I just do in my sleep that caused a part of my body to

251
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:08,160
ache in such a way where I'm like what did I do did I just do squats I don't understand what the

252
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,120
hell just happened because like you know you're younger you wake up you're out of bed you do a

253
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:17,600
big stretch like man that was awesome and now you wake up and it's like okay what part of the body

254
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:25,600
is that is that a part why does it hurt yeah it's the a find the pain yeah is a fun game in the

255
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,680
morning yeah I'm gonna go with no pain no joint pain no joint pain yeah I can't blame you I've got

256
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:39,520
a listener named Randy asking if you could have one classic car what would you choose you want to

257
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:48,240
answer first go ahead 1970 Chevelle SS that's super sport that racing stripe yeah probably the black

258
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:54,840
or the red and yeah that's that would be that's a good that's a good one that's such a great car

259
00:27:54,840 --> 00:28:05,000
that is classy I was thinking those old Corvette stingrays ooh I think 60s or 70s is when they

260
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:11,240
looked the sleekest yes that that might be what I cash in on I don't I don't have a specific year

261
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:16,640
probably whichever year they put the biggest engine in it but yeah probably cash in on a

262
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:25,640
stingray those are just sweet that's a really good selection I could go with the old Chevrolet

263
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:35,800
Impala that you know famous made famous by the TV show Supernatural oh yeah Chevrolet just fucked

264
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:42,320
the Impala and turned it into a regular old-ass car just lame now yeah so yeah my passion on that

265
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:47,800
too that's a really good one I know the stingray is more valuable but the Impala I would feel cooler

266
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:55,840
yeah for sure yeah that I I would definitely I would definitely love that Chevelle I also kind of even

267
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:03,920
though it's an impractical design and an impractical vehicle that Plymouth Roadrunner with that oh yeah

268
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:10,160
funky wing thing on the back of the huge wing yeah oh my god so cool so cool so weird but so

269
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:16,640
cool right very iconic it's like how the time exactly I guess what could I not sure I would be my

270
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:24,680
choice but it another fun idea would be the old VW van oh yeah like that classic hippie style van

271
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,120
that's that's the perfect vehicle if you decide to quit life right and you're just like yep I will

272
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:36,040
leave town in that and never return exactly I will see every national park exactly yeah that could

273
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:45,520
be fun oh no doubt the final DM I received from a man named Willie Long oh okay which I mean that's

274
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:53,200
fantastic good for you ask yeah must be nice a genie offers you control of an unusual power would

275
00:29:53,200 --> 00:30:00,960
you rather have complete control of cavities removing them or adding them to any person's mouth oh my

276
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:11,920
or complete control of their nail and hair growth on any human that's that's interesting because you

277
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:20,800
could either be the world's best dentist and also secretly a super villain right or just a

278
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:30,480
cause or a chaos and in the in the beauty community as far as hair and nails gal boy oh boy yeah I like

279
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:36,080
that hair nails one because look once again middle-aged guy here hair start growing in places where

280
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:41,200
it says if why do I have hairs there what the hell's going on so rather than what do they call

281
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:46,800
electrolysis is that what it is hair removal like laser hair removal laser hair removal whatever

282
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:52,720
that is which is just like chemicals right well yeah that's what it is yeah but whatever the case

283
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:59,920
might be it's just like it'd be nice to just be like yep so say the other guys completely shaved

284
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:08,480
yeah you think because I have this beard that I'm very hairy but completely shaved arnie palmer alert

285
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:19,520
Alan you come back here and fuck my wife great movie great movie um yes I like the hair yeah

286
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:25,280
that could also make a business out of it I think both of these you have the potential to

287
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:31,840
capitalize on them financially yeah because if you have like instant hair and nail growth

288
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,240
you know you don't need any of this like what were they called like bozzly or whatever the

289
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:42,480
fuck it is yeah that's shit you put on your hair yeah it's like oh like 13 percent guarantee that

290
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:48,560
maybe it might come back and that's not legally binding that's just right that's just a bit I don't

291
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:53,440
know how successful it is but you would have complete success yes with control of that

292
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:59,840
and people pay a lot for hair like hair transplants and stuff well think think of going to the barbara

293
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:07,760
in GTA 5 yeah click click yeah you're welcome it exists in the video game let's make it exist

294
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:13,920
in the real world yeah one day I want to look like slash the next day maybe stone cold right

295
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:20,640
just they switch it up yeah that's very true they they both have devious answers too like if you

296
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:26,480
were sure dislike someone at the snap of your fingers with the power of cavities you could make the

297
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,840
inside of their mouth look like those disturbing pictures of Brock Lesnar's fucked up teeth oh

298
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:38,640
yeah oh my god like boop oops all cavities all cavities not that I recommend using the power

299
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:45,840
that way but it is an idea yeah I ah you know what if you're taking hair and nails I'll take

300
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:50,720
I'll take cavities you'll do it yeah okay it'd be a little do we do a little trolling I can do a

301
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:59,440
little trolling just on the side I give you a cavity I do not like you yeah why not yeah I would

302
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:05,520
also be the world's best dentist you would be so oh I got this kid what the hell yeah I'll

303
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:14,880
leave $12,000 exactly yeah I don't take insurance cash only business um man that's funny yeah yeah

304
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:21,280
the hair one for me for sure but uh all right I've got uh I've got a few here as well uh at the

305
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:30,000
Zebra Man 143 hi Mark Mo Show do you guys love Patrick Mahomes as much as I do I follow him around

306
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:36,720
all over the place yikes someone cut in front of him at Costco and I threw my flag 15 yards

307
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:44,320
well Zebra Man uh we've noticed we've noticed we've definitely noticed yeah you guys should

308
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:50,720
definitely not wear black and white you should wear red and white yeah that's very true I mean

309
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:58,800
let's just be honest and so many sports people have been saying oh there's there's no conspiracy

310
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,520
and there's the blah and the rest don't look at the numbers man the numbers don't lie it's like you

311
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:09,920
can go to all these questionable calls like a bad call a game maybe two bad calls things even out

312
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:17,200
and like people want to believe that like oh bad calls even out against the chiefs no really not

313
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:24,480
even close no way because in that bills game the bad calls were like five to one yeah not even

314
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,680
remotely close not even remotely close and the couple of those basically cost them the game oh

315
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:34,000
yeah because that tight end dough for that one first down and they're like now you're short and

316
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:41,760
and then Alan like and he's a big dude and look like the ball got over the line right now he's short

317
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,280
unbelievable it's a joke it's a joke and it makes you not want to care and now we've got two teams

318
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:52,960
in the Super Bowl I've seen the meme on on social media where it shows like the little graph of

319
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,320
like who people are cheering for and there's like a little red dot in the middle of the country it

320
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:01,840
says Kansas City the little green dot and the northeast says Philly the rest is all in gray

321
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:09,520
and that selection is hoping we get hit by a meteorite yeah yeah and like okay yep that's about

322
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:17,440
right what I'm watching the Super Bowl for this year is the Kendrick Lamar show 100% that's it

323
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,680
yep I want some funny commercials and Kendrick Lamar other than that like whatever is happening

324
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,720
during the game I'll be snacking I'll be getting beer I'll be up for a sandwich whatever that's the

325
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:35,680
part I can tune out oh 100% yeah I would agree crazy uh at Frederico Fallascio great name that's a

326
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:41,440
great name I am moving to the United States from Italy tell me where the best place is to meet

327
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:56,720
beautiful women um LA San Diego San Diego San Diego yeah that's it I would say Tijuana but that is

328
00:35:56,720 --> 00:36:03,680
in Mexico and that's that's a little sus because you you could it's just right across the border

329
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:10,480
this is right across the border it's right across the border but Tijuana is like a dirtier much more

330
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:17,200
dangerous Vegas that's awesome and that and that may be awesome that might be what Frederico is looking

331
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:23,120
for so yeah that could be what I'm looking for that that's what I'm let's go I would agree I would

332
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:28,320
agree 100% with that no you know god it depends what your definition it depends what you're looking

333
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,400
for that's also true your definition of what you consider beautiful might be different than what

334
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:37,840
I do that's yeah that's a fantastic point you make so that's that's kind of tough Frederico I would

335
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:46,960
here's where I would start I would start at the bars now by saying that oh that's a good

336
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:51,440
point I didn't know if he was talking about cities or locations my bad and that could be that could

337
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:56,560
be either way who knows he needs help he's coming to the United States so I would just say start at

338
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:02,880
the bars but not not the ones that are open till 4 a.m. that you go in there and they're kind of dirty

339
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:12,880
and and dingy that might be that might be if you're looking for relations with anyone it's a good play

340
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:19,360
but if you're if you're looking for a woman like a more relationship I don't know what he's looking

341
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:24,000
for that's very true I would say you know if you're going to the bar pick a nicer bar a little bit

342
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:30,880
more upscale you know become a regular start meeting a few people I think that's the best way to do it

343
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:36,880
but I'm going to throw something out there and I've as is a single middle-aged guy and I've been

344
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:44,480
that for a while I have to say Target is a fantastic place to meet middle-aged women I don't

345
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:49,760
know how Frederico is maybe Frederico is a middle-aged that's very true depending on how old you are

346
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:54,320
if you're 20 I would not tell you to go to Target but if you're 40 and you're a good looking guy

347
00:37:54,320 --> 00:38:01,280
go shopping very true go shopping I would say definitely go go to Target maybe Costco

348
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:08,720
Costco interesting yeah never thought of a Costco like that yeah I've also never been to a Costco

349
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:14,720
now you could run into a problem which is a problem I've run into at quote unquote upscale bar

350
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:20,880
where you are meeting women but they all happen to be married oh that's troubling that is troubling

351
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:26,480
once again could be out for a good time but you know who's not out for a good time that husband

352
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:32,080
very true unless he's involved in which case you would have to be also open to such a thing

353
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:38,400
Mr. Frederico true I mean there's so lots of ways you can go yeah on this that's it's like we could

354
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:46,160
do a whole episode on this so I wish you luck and yeah start to start at some bars and start at the

355
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:53,280
bars let us know how Tijuana is definitely let us know definitely let us know and if you go to

356
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:59,280
Tijuana and you drink a lot and you you you suck down that worm that's not a metaphor for anything

357
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:04,880
if you suck down that worm and it's one of those nights and you wake up and you're groggy and you're

358
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:14,320
who's next to me just know with understanding that the person next to you may have some equipment

359
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:19,440
you work counting on I'm just going to throw that out there oh maybe Frederico's okay with that but

360
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:25,680
I'm just going to say Tijuana especially it could it could get dicey interesting these are things I

361
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:31,040
have not yet heard about Tijuana Aiden I have a lot of experience I have a lot of experience in this

362
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:35,840
life I've been proud of everything I've done but I know a thing or two because you've seen a thing

363
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:41,200
or two I have I have you know I drink PBR and I know things yeah for sure get that trademark that's

364
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:46,080
all I have to and I have to get PBR to sponsor us very true finally I mean my Facebook is loaded

365
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:51,360
with pictures of me like hey hanging with friends I got a PBR my head hey having cheesy

366
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:57,040
Carlo Pratt at Peddler's PBR right it's just like when are you going to give me money PBR you're

368
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:07,600
is one of the more popular beers at bars now so that is very true making a wild comeback they are

369
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:16,000
making a wild comeback at Chunky Chat 54 oh hell yeah chat I love that guy guys I love pizza like I

370
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:22,800
mean I love pizza as you should as you should this guy on Facebook keeps saying New Haven and New

371
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:28,880
York style is the best do you agree what is the best pizza where you come from I don't know and I

372
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:35,280
don't care about that man never heard of him because people who spread falsities do not make my

373
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:42,080
home page um that's fair bold claim but it is a bold claim yeah I've I've I'm not much of a social

374
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:47,520
media user myself these days I usually keep myself busy with the content creation lifestyle

375
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:54,000
and a full-time job there you go but yeah I mean if you want if you want slop you can go elsewhere

376
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:00,480
if you want pizza you can come to the Midwest yes you got Detroit styles phenomenal Chicago style

377
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:06,800
both tavern and deep dish I will say are both fantastic I mean that's that's top three if you're

378
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:12,640
asking for my right three yeah I think that's fair you're welcome that that is that you've earned

379
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:20,480
it you've you've earned it so you come here and I would say Giordano's is a good bet Fox's on the

380
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:26,880
southwest side of Chicago is a good bet true I would say Luma on Luma Nauti's is a good bet

381
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:32,960
Geno's East is a good bet could eat home hi zanos yeah home run in at the restaurant home run in at

382
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:39,680
the restaurant I would agree with that even the frozen Zaz good yes uh Diego Steno's uh JBL

383
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:46,320
Bertos I know them all ladies and gentlemen Rinali's there's so many good pizza joints in the city now

384
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:51,680
a lot of people if we're gonna have a little educational seminar here they'd be like oh Chicago

385
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:57,680
pizza it's like a big lasagna blah blah blah I'm like okay first of all it's a deep dish pizza and

386
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:03,920
if if anyone's confused I don't mean to take this over no do it always see oh there's no cheese on

387
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,680
where's the cheese the cheese is under the sauce cheese under the sauce the cheese is under the

388
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:12,560
sauce go to Giordano's massive cheese pole and and the server will do the whole cheese cheese pole

389
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:19,040
bit with you yes lots of cheese it's under the sauce it's under the sauce relax it looks like a big

390
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:26,080
tomato I'm like guys guys guys work with me here and so some people are like oh Chicago should really

391
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:33,040
lean into that deep dish thing that's Chicago pizza no it's not it is what I call tourist pizza

392
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:39,680
because people come to Chicago most of your deep dish is centrally located to downtown G why is that

393
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:45,360
that's where the tourists go sure and it does mean it's bad pizza I'll eat it from time to time

394
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:51,680
but if I ate deep dish pizza the way I eat thin crust pizza I would be a ton oh sure I would

395
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:56,720
literally be a ton I'd probably dead deep dish is one of those where you a slice of deep dish

396
00:42:56,720 --> 00:43:02,080
pizza is a meal yeah and the tavern style you can eat half a pizza and that's a meal oh yeah we just

397
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:08,960
we pound on that yeah and the thin crust is good it's usually thin very thin sometimes sometimes

398
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:16,160
they've got that the magical pixie dust on the by the cornmeal meal yeah on the bottom a lot of

399
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:21,440
the southwest tavern styles what they call it so you get that tavern style pizzas cut in squares

400
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:28,080
now I often hear this from New York people who eat that big triangle that's all floppy and shit

401
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:36,720
that they say you must be a psycho to want that middle piece of pizza who wants pizza without

402
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:44,560
the crust now to be fair I've been in big parties where's a big pizza and the first pieces to go

403
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:50,560
are those edge pieces people that's yep I want that I want that the middle piece is fine because

404
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:57,920
the crust is crispy you're fine that's true it's okay it's not that floppy dog shit right exactly

405
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:03,040
where it's like you got to sit there and hold a New York slice like it's a wet napkin right

406
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,720
and then you're you know and you have to fold it over like it's a taco you have to stop pretending

407
00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:11,040
it's a pizza yeah right call it a calzone and call it a day exactly I mean what are you doing

408
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:17,040
it's just a calzone without the extra step that's about right yeah that's about right now if somebody

409
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:24,080
brought a New York style pie to my home am I going to turn it down no pizza's pizza pizza's pizza

410
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:31,440
I'm just saying if we're going to put it on a rating or a scale it is lesser yes lesser than

411
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:40,240
yeah I would I would go Chicago Detroit New Haven probably Cleveland or Pittsburgh

412
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:46,080
Philly's got good pizza too because it's not technically New York style New Jersey's got good

413
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:51,440
pizza see I don't know if New York makes my top five yeah now I'm sure New York's got amazing

414
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:58,400
pizza places I'm sure they do but I mean if we're just talking overall style I'm not sure New York's

415
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:05,680
my top that ain't it I just don't think so no 100 I agree yeah my last one here is from

416
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:14,480
backstage Betty 69 oh wow hi boys what are some of the best concerts you've seen any bands you

417
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:22,800
haven't seen that you'd like to see live the concert I've been to is Iron Maiden and I think that's it

418
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:28,320
I think we're gonna have to work on that I believe so and it was fantastic it was such a good time

419
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:35,040
it was very fantastic uh even they're open it was fantastic yeah I would say bands I want to see

420
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:43,920
I I would love to see Rage or Green Day I think those shows would be a lot of fun uh who else

421
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:50,960
who else would I want to see I bet a Tesla show would be fun Tesla's great they're they're just a

422
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:58,080
good hard rock jam band they're just so fun yeah I'd love to see Pearl Jam yes that'd be fun and

423
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:05,440
their new albums pretty fly it is good yes I agree so that's that's probably my my response I've only

424
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:10,400
seen the one I like those a lot of those bands that you mentioned I'd go see too uh I think the

425
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:15,760
bands that I've really enjoyed I always enjoy seeing Tesla without a doubt Iron Maiden I've seen

426
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:21,280
11 or 12 times that Maiden Megadeth show in Vegas was I'll always remember it I will never forget

427
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:28,320
that show it was unbelievable that was really great I've seen Billy Joel live twice Billy Joel

428
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:36,320
on the Storm Front tour unbelievable just unreal I love it and just so many so many good shows

429
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:42,640
I haven't seen you too I would like to see you too before I should say before they're too old but a

430
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:46,080
lot of the bands I've been seeing since 80s and 90s are all old and they sound better now than they

431
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,840
did then so I don't know you know it's kind of crazy probably because they've gotten off the

432
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:56,960
sauce yeah that's probably it so I if I had to put a few bands out there I'd say you too uh nine

433
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:03,360
inch nails tool and Jane's Addiction those are those are some bands I haven't seen that I really

434
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:08,800
want to see that's pretty good I think I would also like to see Kendrick Lamar live Kendrick Lamar

435
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:14,000
be a good show I'd like to see Ice Cube yeah I missed that opportunity in Vegas that was just

436
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,560
I'm not I'm not saying anything not naming names I'm not naming names but

437
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:26,480
quite frankly too we've been out in the heat like all day in Vegas so I mean I was a little tired

438
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:31,040
but I was still game right you know you're in Vegas suck it up buttercup let's find some water

439
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:36,480
let's knuckle down yeah let's do this thing exactly get you some caffeine oh yeah oh no doubt so that

440
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:42,640
that was a bit of a a misstep sure yeah Ice Cube Kendrick Lamar for sure yeah absolutely

441
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:49,200
we got M&M oh that'd be lit yeah yeah that'd be super lit yeah I would dig that for sure

442
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:56,880
oh god that one band just left my mind and I know it's a band that you like to uh glass

443
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:02,560
glass animals yeah that'd be a fun show that would be really good man of skin would be really good

444
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:07,440
I mean there's a lot of groups I'd love to see absolutely yeah no doubt yeah fully tickets weren't

445
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:15,200
so damn expensive yeah oh god I know right it's nuts um well uh this is about the time where

446
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:22,480
we start to discuss other foods in a segment called guess what the other foods oh so we talk

447
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,640
about food a lot because we're foodies I write food articles the whole thing I eat a lot of food I

448
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:32,960
eat a lot of food absolutely and so Aiden tends to find some interesting food choices

449
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:38,480
from around the world and you kind of look at it go oh my god people don't actually eat that

450
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:44,320
they oh that they do that they do that they do what do you have for us today I found two that I

451
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:50,240
wanted to bring up all right from our lovely neighbors to the south and I know these aren't

452
00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:58,240
indicative of the entire country of Mexico but that is where they're from this first one

453
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:12,000
Eskimole's from uh see the native language of now who now now tool languages I if I mispronounce

454
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:18,320
anything I apologize but colloquially they're known as Mexican caviar or insect caviar

455
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:29,360
which is the edible larvae and pupae of ants oh no commonly consumed in Mexico City and

456
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:35,520
surrounding areas Eskimole's have been consumed in Mexico since the age of the Aztecs the taste

457
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:42,400
is described as buttery and nutty with a texture akin to that of cottage cheese it tastes a bit

458
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:49,120
nutty that's disgusting I found that because that's that's what I found when I first started

459
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:54,400
looking and then there was a like related article and I'm like now what the hell could be related

460
00:49:54,400 --> 00:50:04,800
to that well this is Hamoes they're the common name of Mexico of edible insects of the order of

461
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:11,600
coloctra which are beetles they're consumed preferably in the summer in their last larval

462
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:18,240
stage of life since in their adult life they start to take on a bitter taste these beetles are

463
00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:26,160
consumed fried roasted stewed or in sauce and sometimes served with salt and chili in southern

464
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:35,040
Mexico they're eaten toasted on on a comal or in a broth prepared with avocado leaf and ground

465
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:45,600
corn now I know that eating bugs in other parts of the world is pretty pretty casual like the

466
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:51,040
the consumption of crickets has just recently hit the US as like an acceptable thing to do and

467
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:57,920
honestly I've consumed my fair share of cricket containing products and they taste like nothing

468
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:02,160
they just turn it back into protein powder and then add it to things it doesn't taste like

469
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:11,280
like crickets feel like they would taste sure but when you start eating larvae and and pupil

470
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:18,000
stage things and whole beetles that's that's where I start to become a little apprehensive

471
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:24,800
oh 100% maybe a little cautious and say ah maybe it's not for me oh I know right I'm a fairly

472
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:30,800
adventurous person when it comes to food I'll try almost anything at least once but man I would I

473
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:39,760
would need to be inebriated and blindfolded before I would give a cottage cheese ask larvae a try

474
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:45,920
yeah oh yeah there's no way I can't even I can't even think of a situation

475
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:54,800
no where where that would be something I would want to do right and usually because of my general

476
00:51:54,800 --> 00:52:02,720
adventurous style of you know trying anything once when I hear about a food yeah I can typically

477
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:13,280
conceptualize how it might taste right oh yeah but I for the life of me cannot conceptualized

478
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:25,680
a buttery nutty flavored cottage cheese textured antelarv I don't know I don't my tongue and brain

479
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:32,800
will not allow me to conceptualize that I can't I can't do it I can't do it yeah god that's so nasty

480
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:40,000
that's so nasty if you out there have tried either of those before a let me know if I pronounced them

481
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:46,720
wrong which I probably did I apologize but to be what does it taste like I would want to know

482
00:52:46,720 --> 00:52:52,720
inquiring minds want to know yes we're curious we're definitely curious well on that note ladies and

483
00:52:52,720 --> 00:53:11,200
gentlemen go get yourself some eskimole yes absolutely and we'll be right back

484
00:53:22,720 --> 00:53:33,200

489
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:10,240

490
00:54:10,240 --> 00:54:15,280

Chicago most definitely so we have a top 10 list of our favorite Chicago based movies and I'll

492
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:30,000
I'll get going with mine here number 10 eight men out that is the baseball movie that's a great one

493
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:35,520
about the white socks that cheated yeah well it's the white socks so that's what you expect

494
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:40,400
what they do that's a great one I wish I had that yeah that's that's a good movie number nine the

495
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:47,440
Untouchables great gangster movie with Sean Connery in it and he's amazing Kevin Costner

496
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:53,840
great cast number eight Brian's song it's an old movie about Brian Piccolo the Chicago Bears

497
00:54:54,800 --> 00:55:02,400
Billy Dee Williams and James Kahn and it was basically just an examination especially

498
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:09,200
at that time in America of a white guy and a black guy becoming best friends and Brian Piccolo getting

499
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:17,520
a fatal illness right and and Kale Sears being by his side every step of the way and that that's a

500
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:23,760
it's a it's a tough movie it's a movie where you get to the end and even if you're not a sports fan

501
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:28,000
you're gonna have a tough time not not at least shedding a man right you know just that single

502
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:36,880
tear it's something number seven adventures in babysitting a cheesy late 80s movie an Elizabeth

503
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:44,320
shoe vehicle if you will and it's it's actually it's not a great movie it's kind of funny and cute

504
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:51,200
especially for like older kids but the cool part is like they really go all over Chicago that's

505
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:55,600
pretty cool you know and they really feature the city so they do a good job of that number six

506
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:03,040
kind of one people might not have on their list but it reeks of Chicago and that is the dark night

507
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:09,600
oh that's a good answer that is a dark night so for most people it's just a batman movie for us

508
00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:16,720
it's Chicago Batman that's so true it's the Chicago Batman movie what a great answer yeah I love that

509
00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:23,200
really good addition number five and this this movie if I had like a top 20 list which maybe

510
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:27,760
we'll do someday a top 20 list of my favorite movies of all time this movie's probably on it

511
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:35,200
it's called primal fear oh it's with Edward Norton Richard Gere Laura Linney I love this movie

512
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:44,800
and it is so Chicago yeah it's it's just it's it's a great court case Edward Norton should have

513
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:50,400
won an Oscar his role was amazing and I love it it's just a great movie features the city

514
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:56,800
prominently and kind of gets into politics in neighborhood politics and stuff and like it's

515
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:02,080
just like yep that Chicago you guys nailed it that's pretty cool uh number four another movie

516
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:07,680
would probably be in my top 20 the fugitive nice very good love the fugitive very good uh Chicago

517
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:15,040
featured heavily in that movie as well number three back draft I love this movie another movie

518
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:21,920
that features firemen and does it in such a way where you know I grew up in the southwest side of

519
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:27,360
Chicago there's a lot of firefighter families and every one of them just like yeah that's that's

520
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:34,000
yeah accurate that's yeah I mean sure there's a little bit of hollywood to sure but Ron Howard

521
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:40,720
directed the movie and like they literally spent so much time with firemen like learning about fire

522
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:45,680
working with the guys that were going to be setting things on fire in the movie to be like okay

523
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:50,800
how is this how does this look real how's it going to react right they spent so much time doing it

524
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:56,960
and once again Chicago just prominently uh prominently figured there's there's an Irish band

525
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:03,440
that plays in the movie uh there's a fight at a bar I mean it's just the macafferies and that's the

526
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:08,640
name of the family so it's a south side Irish family it's great it's so good uh and number two the

527
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:13,600
blues brothers nice uh blues brothers so great it's one it's once again maybe a movie that's in that

528
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:21,360
top 20 just so great the music's phenomenal and Dan Aykroyd and uh uh Belushi or just hilarious yeah

529
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:26,640
fantastic so that's a great one that's it and then my number one in a few minutes holding out that

530
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:34,640
number one holding out number 10 on my list is the sci-fi movie Divergent which is filmed heavily

531
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:41,680
in Chicago really oh yeah most that is interesting done in Chicago a very fun one number nine on my

532
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:49,440
list public enemies another filmed in Chicago pretty good movie number eight on my list is the

533
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:58,480
negotiator oh no oh my forget the negotiator I did and I love the negotiator because Sam Jackson

534
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:05,200
and Kevin Spacey around there was like two of my favorite actors oh my god come on oh you I've you

535
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:09,680
got to give Samuel Jackson a little bit of credit I will I will sit in the corner and feel ashamed

536
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:17,840
and is exactly what I won't do I put this one on here because the house prominently in the in the

537
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:24,080
far north suburbs home alone is number seven on my list yeah not that it's really in Chicago in

538
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:29,360
Chicago but it's in the suburbs and it's a good Christmas movie number six on my list the fugitive

539
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:35,440
as you mentioned yeah fantastic number five I was surprised to find out this was filmed big in

540
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:40,640
Chicago as well Candyman the horror candy man is shot that's another good one that was shot

541
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,680
oh god I don't think it was the Ida B Wells projects maybe it was

542
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:53,600
or was it Cabrini Green it is one of the housing projects it was shot in yeah Candyman very very

543
00:59:53,600 --> 01:00:00,800
awesome number four this one is as you say the essence of Chicago planes trains and automobiles

544
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:10,480
the essence of it's the Thanksgiving movie and it's great because most of the movie is not in

545
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:16,320
Chicago right but that's where they're trying to get that's the goal they're trying to get back to

546
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:22,960
Chicago and some of the last scenes once again a movie where you get to that end a John Candy

547
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:31,760
RIP man a legend what an amazing role he played in that I just phenomenal and you get to those

548
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:38,240
last few scenes of that movie heartstrings yeah holy cow absolutely number three on my list

01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:45,840
Ferris Bueller's day off nice fantastic movie yeah very 80s number two do you have a kiss for Debbie

550
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:56,000
right number two on my list iRobot the Will Smith classic seems like someone seems like someone

551
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:01,280
forgot iRobot too I did see there are no rules I could have had a few honorable mentions on that

552
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:07,920
I failed I I'm so sorry iRobot a very very strong number two in my head that is a strong number two

553
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:14,320
yeah I was happy with that my number one is I think your number three Ferris Bueller's day off

554
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:22,800
it's such a great movie once again just features the city prominently right whether it's them

555
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:27,440
going to the Cubs games or they're going to Shea Paul or the parade it's just hilarious

556
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:33,120
so yeah that that one is number one for me yes and your number two was my number one the blues

557
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:40,160

558
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:47,120
very good we have both kinds of music country and western so great I love that movie

559
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:53,520

562
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:12,960

563
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:18,080
movie is great just let us know very true we do a thing called review preview every week review

564
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:25,520
movie preview movie but I haven't gone to the movies very much and so being that I have failed all

565
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:33,520
of you in that I figure well what could I do and I could talk about an older movie and so for maybe

566
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:38,960
some of the younger folks maybe listen to the show maybe I'm doing a service I'm doing a public service

567
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:44,080
for sure by saying hey here's this older movie you should check it out and it's a little topical

568
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:53,200
as well because it is almost this day it is almost groundhog day oh yeah and so groundhog day just in

569
01:02:53,200 --> 01:03:00,160
a nutshell a cynical tv weatherman named Phil played by Bill Murray finds himself reliving the

570
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:04,960
same day over and over and over again goes on location in the small town of Punxsutawney

571
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:11,040
to film a report about the annual groundhog day his predicament drives him to distraction until he

572
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:16,160
sees a way of turning the situation into his advantage the movie also stars Andy McDowell

573
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:21,920
as the producer who becomes Phil's love interest and Chris Elliott who portrays the wacky camera

574
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:29,760
man directed by the legendary Harold Ramis and even though it is Poxsutawney it was shot in Woodstock

575
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:34,800
Illinois oh how about that so you can go to Woodstock and see a lot of the building yeah like

576
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:45,440
that that you saw in the movie it's step is a duzy it's a duzy Ned Ned Ryerson didn't he

577
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:50,720
sell life insurance yes he did yes he did and at the very end Phil bought everything he had

578
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:57,280
yeah it's such a good movie once again a movie that has it's a comedy so you're gonna laugh

579
01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:02,800
but it has a lot of heart and I think it's very spirited and I think Phil learns a lot

580
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:09,920
about life about being a human being because he was really at the beginning pretty insufferable

581
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:16,560
yeah and people really didn't like him very much but he became like well and he learned a lot about

582
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:27,120
people and he ends up trying to do good and in his quest to get with this girl instead of like

583
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:35,120
trying to get with this girl in the sense that you're thinking about right he falls for her and then

584
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:40,560
at the very end realizes that it isn't about knowing everything it is about reliving this day

585
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:44,880
and trying to figure everything else about her this is about being yourself right it's about

586
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:52,320
being yourself and wanting the best for her right and it it is the takeaway I always got from the

587
01:04:52,320 --> 01:05:00,720
movie is the perspective and attitude change from you know the start to the middle to the end yes

588
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:05,920
is is kind of the the life lesson I got from the movie not that the movie is meant to be a life

589
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:12,080
lesson but you know it's primarily kind of you can take away from it that like sometimes all you

590
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:18,560
need is a perspective or an attitude change to you know change your own scenario yeah oh yeah for

591
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:25,040
sure control the things you can change and those are things you can change yeah I agree great movie

592
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,560
very well said oh I love that movie it's just so there's certain movies if you watch it a certain

593
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:32,960
time of the year I think there's even some cable channel that like runs the movie 24 hours they

594
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:38,960
just they keep it going so definitely check it out I think if you haven't seen it definitely see it

595
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:46,560
yes you will get the alarm clock song stuck in your head yes put your little hand in mine

596
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:52,800
and there ain't no mountain we can climb and then don't worry just make sure he's like oh no

597
01:05:55,600 --> 01:06:02,640
great movie though well um actually there's one more bit that we do I almost forgot it I can't

598
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:07,680
believe it I know right shocking golly we do a segment called while you were sleeping and not

599
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:13,280
that that was part of why you were sleeping that was just a retro movie review um Aiden does this

600
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:20,320
thing where he while you were sleeping so it could be a tv show it could be a movie it could be

601
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:27,440
maybe a youtube channel it could be music it could be anything and basically he's just like hey

602
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:35,440
buddy wake up how did you miss this so I'm interested to see what we miss well I went to the well again

603
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:44,400
because I've been um playing a lot of these types of video games recently indie horror games oh yeah

604
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:51,280
oh yeah I've been playing a lot of those recently and this one is one of my favorites I've played

605
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:59,200
in the last year probably okay a horror game called from the darkness which is made I believe by a

606
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:06,240
russian game developer um it's on steam and other platforms I think it's like five or ten dollars

607
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:12,320
like most indie games it's fairly inexpensive but it's a first person horror game where you visit

608
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:18,720
your late grandfather's apartment to retrieve a family photo album everything takes a turn

609
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:24,320
for the worst of course when strange occurrences begin to happen you think that the abandoned

610
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:31,280
apartment well the apartment you think is abandoned is of course not because that's horror for you

611
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:39,920
someone wrote a whole article on it because I believe it was the only the second or third game

612
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:47,760
that this game dev made and it is just gripping and terrifying and so a lot of people liked it a lot

613
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:54,880
myself included uh they wrote it's a very scary game abuses some of the uh some phobias very

614
01:07:56,000 --> 01:08:02,720
effectively claustrophobia being one of them which is a big thing for me and oh yeah got me yeah

615
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:09,200
yeah definitely got me uh the combination forces the player to be consistently alert and afraid as

616
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:16,080
they move through this apartment which of course is very small uh in the apartment there's a short

617
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:21,840
hall hallway connecting most of the rooms where you have to piece together the puzzle of you know

618
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:27,360
the death you're trying to follow along with the story you're uncovering clues yeah maybe you see

619
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:34,000
a couple corpses who is to say who's to say and this small hallway connecting all the rooms becomes

620
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:39,840
your least favorite part of the whole game because it's just where everything goes to shit oh no it's

621
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:45,840
like you know you wrap up this story segment in one of the bedrooms and then it's like you're

622
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:50,880
trying to figure out oh okay what do i have to do next and it's like oh no i have to walk to the

623
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:57,680
kitchen now oh shit the lights start flickering you can't leave the apartment the ghostly the

624
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:03,600
demonic forces lock you in oh that's terrifying you can't leave until you learn more about you know

625
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:11,840
what's going on what has gone on it is horrifying and of course you start hallucinating it's

626
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:21,600
it's good it's really good and i i've been of course spending a lot of time in the horror genre

627
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:26,640
both watching movies and playing indie games and everything like that so what is the name of this

628
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:32,640
game again from the darkness from the darkness okay from the darkness very very fun highly recommended

629
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:39,600
you could probably sink an hour or two into it depending how thorough you are or how terrified

630
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:47,600
of it like me um and that could definitely slow your progression as well but yeah between all the

631
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:52,320
indie horror games and now my girlfriend jordan and i have been watching a lot of classic horror

632
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:59,760
movies recently i love that watch the original nose for a two from the 1920s oh yeah um what was the

633
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:05,520
other one it was called like haunted castle or something like that a movie from the 60s so we've

634
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:12,560
been watching a lot of the old horror movies as well so not to give it any hints but be prepared for

635
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:18,480
more yeah more while you were sleeping horror editions that's awesome yes that's awesome well

636
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,520
i'm definitely going to try oh by the way if someone wants to play that game how can they find it

637
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:30,960
uh you can find it on this uh steam which is uh just an online marketplace for pc i believe you

638
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:38,240
can get it on xbox and playstation as well on those marketplaces really yes okay interesting well

641
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:57,600
it well it did pretty well for the numbers but in playing it it was so terrifying the jump scares

642
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:04,960
got me again while i was editing it that's impressive holy shit like that says something that

643

01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:23,280
which resembles that of rotting flesh it smells like feet cheese and rotten meat it just smelled

01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:04,160
too closely resembled a border patrol vehicle the county sheriff's office said the white chevrolet

698
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:09,040
silvarado which bears a green stripe on the side with the words booty patrol on the back had been

699
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:15,200
spotted in several counties before they got to him the driver was cited under a law banning vehicles

700
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:22,480
from having red and blue lights ah that was the big that was the big thing that too closely resembled

701
01:18:22,480 --> 01:18:28,320
the lights on law enforcement vehicles comments underneath the sheriff's office post indicate

702
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:33,600
the truck is quote a show vehicle and the lights were only ever used for the filming of a music

703
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:40,160
video not on any public roads and yet they were still cited because of the red and blue lights

704
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:46,160
