Hey everybody, how you doing? This is the Mark
Mo Show podcast. Thanks so much for listening
in. This is the second season. We're now on episode
four. And alongside me today is the host of AK219,
the host of Aidan Spelled the Right Way. My co
-host for this show, Aidan Maloney. Aidan, how
are you, man? Pretty fantastic. Awesome made
some good food today made some good content today
making some more good content today So it's it's
been a good day. You know it is it is definitely
a good day and At least at the time of these
recordings, you know typical spring here in the
Midwest. We're in Valparaiso, Indiana and We
tend to get some pretty nasty storms around April,
May, and June. Very true. We had a nasty one
last night. I guess it could have been worse,
but it was pretty nasty and we might get a little
bit, you know, a little bit more tonight. Yeah,
a little leftovers. A little leftovers, a little
something with, you know, a little wind, a little
lightning, a little rain. Could be fun. All that
kind of good stuff. We're crazy here in the Midwest,
ladies and gentlemen. We're weather nerds. We
are weather nerds, and I know that this is listened
to all over the globe. At least that's what the
stats tell us. Shout out Curacao. Curacao. Thank
you for listening. Thanks for that blue Curacao.
Is that a triple sec? I think it's a triple sec.
It's an orange liqueur, right? Well, there's
a blue liqueur and there's an orange one, but
the blue the blue curacao is orange flavored
I thought is it I thought so Live research you
continue live research you continue about the
weather I'm gonna continue about the weather
at any rate here in the United States Especially
in the central part of the United States this
time of year a lot of nasty thunderstorms and
tornadoes and things like that. And yeah, you
know, there's a lot of us that get in pickup
trucks and vans and go chase these things around
and it's pretty crazy stuff. But at any rate,
even if we're home, like I've been a trained
storm spotter before, and even if you're home
and it's like, oh, the severe storm's coming,
like I'll go watch it. And like other people,
they go watch it. Yes. Because we want to see
it. Yeah, exactly. And like in that movie Twister,
like when she goes out and she's, I'm like, ooh,
that's real. That's real because we would all
do it. Oh, yeah. So it's kind of cool. But at
any rate, yeah, so hopefully no tornadoes tonight.
Yes, no tornadoes, although. It's one of those
things where I always hope for no tornadoes because
You know people's houses get destroyed lives
are lost and it's devastating But if it were
to just rip through an open field or a forest
or something, it's so cool to watch You know,
yeah, it's it's fascinating from a global standpoint
that at any at any time whether it's a hurricane
a tornado a Typhoon any type of big weather event
could just wipe everything out, you know And
any, yeah, a Yellowstone, for instance, just
kind of standing there idly. Yeah, it's just
like, well, it's kind of the point I was bringing
up last week of like, take every day is a blessing
type deal. Oh, sure. Because like, you never
know if a tornado is going to drop on your head.
You don't control the clouds like the government
does. You know, I would really like to control
the clouds. Clown. Yeah, man, but it's it's.
You never know. You never know. I was able to
use some of my storm spotter skills last year
when there was a strong line of storms coming
through the area. I remember, I'm looking, I'm
looking at the map, and I'm kind of judging the
wind. I'm judging the storms. It's kind of approaching.
I'm on my back deck and I'm like... Yeah, I think
this is this is this is not good. Yeah, this
is torn in my truck was parked right under this
massive train and it's kind of where I always
used to have it because especially in Summertime
when it's hot you want shade true. So I'd always
park it there smart and so I'm like I I think
I'm going to move my car. And so I moved it close
to this busy street that I'm just off of, kind
of down by a gas station. So there's nothing
there. And I figured that unless some just debris
hit it, which you can't control that, I figured
I'll at least move it away from big trees and
stuff. So I moved it. And I watched the tornado
out of my back window because I have no basement.
So I'm like, well, if I'm going down, I'm going
to go down watching this thing. so i remember
watching it and i remember looking at this back
at the tree in this in the backyard and like
it was there and then half of it wasn't there
oh my god like like in a snap of a finger i'm
like oh yeah this isn't good and like some other
tree and then i heard like a crash in the background
and and i was like but like a tornado was like
bam then it was gone right whereas like some
of these straight line winds that come in with
a storm they can last for a bit right tornadoes
do not I mean, if they're big ones, they do.
But the smaller ones, they're there, and then
they're gone. Right. And so I was like, wow,
that's crazy. I'm looking out the back window
and just seeing this mangled tree. And people
are outside. And this guy's fence is just destroyed.
And I'm like, I'd better check the front of the
house. Right, right. Massive tree. The tree in
front of my house was massive. And that thing
came down. Yep. all the way, hit the house across
the street, the house was damaged, the attic,
the whole thing, and it would have fallen directly
on the car. Like, it would have been totaled.
I'm like, wow. And then, of course, people were
like, oh, you should have left it there and got
a new car. I'm like, and been without for like
a week or two. Nah, that's OK. I'm good. But
yeah, man. That's nuts. Yeah. So we will keep
you updated for your. annual spring Mark Mo show
weather updates in case something crazy and cool
happens. For all of you weather nerds out there
and then hopefully there's a few. But yeah, it's
an interesting time of year and I do enjoy weather.
I think I would like to try a storm hunt. A chase,
I guess. Yeah, yeah. I would like to try it once.
Yeah, I would too. I would really like to do
that. It seems neat. But I have to drive because
look. I am fully a graduate of the GTA 5 school
of driving and I would feel much more comfortable
behind the wheel in a situation like that because
I'm gonna be like I'm going to get a son. Right.
Yeah. Because I know I have the skills to do
so. As opposed to a helpless passenger. Yeah.
Right. Exactly. You don't have time to driver
switch if you're in a dire strait. Right. Or
some dude that's distracted and he's just like
Mr. Weather and he's got laptops and he's looking
and, oh, what's the dew point? No. How about
just drive? Right. Let me drive. You do your
dew point. I'll do the driving. Right. And we'll
be good. Exactly. Yeah. But I'd like to try it.
I think it'd be fun. Yeah, I think so too. Before
we get into the meat potatoes. Yes. I wish to
confirm for everyone that has a short attention
span, shout out Gen Z, we did mention blue curacao
at some point. Yes. And it is in fact a sweet
orange flavored liqueur, unique to the Caribbean
island of Curacao. And hey, if any of you want
to send us some, by all means. By all means.
Please feel free. We do accept gifts. We will
not pay taxes on them, but we will accept them.
Exactly. For sure. We'll even test them on the
show if you send them in. No doubt. How's that
for a deal? I think it's a fantastic deal. This
isn't contractually obligating us to do so, but
it is, you know, planting that seed for later.
If our wonderful fans in Curacao say, hey, let's
send these guys some stuff and they'll drink
it on the air, we'll do it. Oh, we'll do it.
I will get hammered. I would do that yesterday.
On this podcast, with all of your wonderful alcohol,
I am happy to do so. And then, of course, whatever
happens, happens. Exactly, yeah. At that point,
the episode's in the Lord's hands. Indeed it
is. Indeed it is. Just to let you know about
our shows, we produce content weekly on all podcast
platforms and YouTube. We also have some one
-off interviews coming your way. I've been talking
to a few people. I'm going to try to line stuff
up. I think I've got something at the end of
the month with a guy who owns an auto detailing
place, but he tricks cars out. Remember that
show? with Exhibit. Pimp my ride. He pimps rides.
That's awesome. And he does a great job of it.
And so I can't wait to sit down with him. He
is a fan of Celtic punk bands like I am. He tricks
out rides and he loves bourbon. And so I think
that is going to be. Sounds like a fascinating
human being. It really is. I think it's going
to be a fantastic interview. And then, of course,
we're going to have one with one of our supporters
from Jetonia. My man. Hopefully we can get that
in the books. before they leave for Greece, because
they're going to be leaving for Greece soon.
And then there's a couple more. So we're lining
them up. We're definitely lining them up. Keep
your ears and eyes peeled. No doubt. No doubt.
Because if you listen to this podcast, we post
the Mark Mo Show. We call it Fireside Chats.
All our interviews are called that. So it just
kind of separates them a little bit from our
regular show. But as you go on. the podcast or
YouTube, whatever. It'll look just a little bit
different, but you'll see it. It's called Fireside
Chat. And those are interviews. And they're usually
a lot of fun. Yes. And they're informative. Absolutely.
Definitely. Definitely check those out. But at
any rate, if you enjoy these shows, I do have
a radio show on WVLP here in Valparaiso. It's
called After Hours. It has Caltech Punk. It has
All Rock. It's a good show. It is Tuesday nights
at 9 p .m. Central Standard Time and Fridays
at 4 p .m central standard time so you can check
that out you can check it out on the stream wvlp
.org or you can check it out on the tuneit app
and i think you can yell at alexa and she might
play it too that's fascinating yeah give her
a shot give her give her a shot you know uh and
then of course aiden my man do it up my show
AK219's been off air for a while, but doesn't
mean it's dead. The YouTube channel still exists.
Quite a backlog on there of me and my boy Kevin
frickin' around, having a laugh, playing some
games. And then my channel, Aiden spelled the
right way on YouTube. That's the full name. It's
just a lot of fun. I've been posting, I think,
thrice weekly, pretty consistently. Yeah. Couple
horror games, couple little fun bridge -making
games. It's just a grand old time. And we do
have a Patreon, too, if you're interested. It's
patreon .com slash AK219. Skip all the stuff
with Kevin's Feet. Yeah, there was that whole
era of Kevin's Feet. Yeah. For a while. Yeah,
he didn't find that very profitable. It wasn't
very profitable, and we lost everything. Yeah.
But you know what? Once you hit rock bottom,
there's only one way to go. That's right. Just
check out. I was about to say we chose to go
laterally. Laterally? Nah, check out. But at
any rate, yeah, check all of Aidan's stuff out.
It's really great. There's also something on
Aidan's Spell the Right Way, where we did a,
this was actually. Did you call it a vodcast?
Where we did the towns at times, the time for
that. Yeah. Almost a vlog, if you will. A vlog.
Sure. That probably makes more sense. And so
that... The first one got a lot of views and
a lot of interest. People thought it was kind
of neat. As a matter of fact, we had a comment
from one of our other shows, some guy in California.
Thanks for listening, by the way. My man. He
was listening in and said, hey, if you come to
California, give us a spot to come to California
to look at some old, dilapidated old towns and
all that kind of stuff. So we want to get that
going again and by all means if you're and let's
be honest It's it's gonna have to be the United
States for our means currently right we would
do it But if there's like a place you would love
for us to check out hit us up especially if it's
within like a day's drive or something, it's
definitely something we can consider. And if
it's further away, you know, obviously it might
be further down the road for us, but we'll keep
it in mind. Absolutely. For sure. So unless you
wanted to, as a lovely listener, fund our next...
You want to fund us coming out. Times that time
forgot. You got some bunk beds somewhere in your
crib, you know, and we get to sleep over and
hit us up, cause havoc. And I'm kind of a low
level menace. So you should know that going in.
But it usually provides fun. So you kind of have
that going for you. Pros and pros. Pros and pros,
absolutely. So look, not to steal the thunder
from one of Aidan's bits. But ladies and gentlemen,
while you were sleeping, how about that? A new
bill is being introduced by Utah Senator Mike
Lee. He's a Republican. That's all right. would
create a federal ban on pornography by redefining
what qualifies as obscene under the law. Okay,
the legislation called the Interstate Obscenity
Definition Act, IOTA, seeks to modernize the
standard for prosecuting explicit content online,
replacing a decades -old test established by
the Supreme Court. If passed, IOTA could dramatically
change how sexual content is treated under federal
law, especially in online spaces. The bill proposes
stripping the intent requirement from the current
Communications Act of 1934, meaning individuals
could face prosecution for sharing or hosting
content deemed to be sexually explicit or lacking
serious, literary, artistic, political, or scientific
value. The bill introduced on Thursday is co
-sponsored by Illinois representative Mary Miller,
another Republican, and represents the third
attempt by Lee to pass such legislation. since
2022. That's nuts. The legislation would revise
the obscenity standard that authorities have
used since the Supreme Court's 1973 Miller v.
California decision, which critics say is outdated
and difficult to enforce, especially in the digital
age. The Miller test, named after the 1973 decision,
currently includes three criteria, whether the
average person could find the work appeals to
a purient interest, whether it depicts sexual
conduct in an offensive way, and whether it lacks
value. In place of that test, the new bill's
definition of obscenity would now include any
content that appeals to the purient interest
in nudity, sex, or excretion and depicts describes
or represents actual or simulated sexual acts
with the objective intent to arouse. If passed,
the bill would pave the way for the prosecution
of obscene content disseminated across state
lines or from foreign countries and open the
door to federal restrictions or bans regarding
online pornography. It would broaden what kinds
of explicit content may be considered a federal
crime, potentially criminalizing large amounts
of adult content, including consensual expressions
of sexuality. 20 years ago, I said this country
was going to veer off into a theocracy slash
corporatocracy. Well, we're here. We made it
boys. We're here. We're here. And for all those
of you that voted these clowns in, thank you.
They have attacked women's rights, the LGBTQ
community, minorities, elderly, and even veterans.
Now, they're trying to eliminate an entire highly
regulated billion -dollar industry, including,
and originally I was like thousands of online
content creators, but I'm like, let me look this
up. I know it's probably more than three million
online adult content creators. Three million.
Wow. Three million. None of this makes sense,
but we should have seen it coming when the state
of Florida started clearing bookshelves and libraries
and schools. The censorship itself is downright
anti -American. If you don't like it, don't consume
it. It's that simple. When you think of it, all
of this is, I don't know, it's pretty comical,
really. From the standpoint that while Trump
was married with a pregnant wife, he sleeps with
a porn star. Okay, Matt Gaetz, representative
from Florida, is transporting underage girls
across state lines for Mm. Nefarious. Mm. One
might say criminal. Criminal activity. Perhaps.
Yeah. Yeah. Colorado representative Lauren Bobert
getting freaky in the theater with kids and teens
in eyesight. And she's grabbing this dude's Johnson
during a play. Right. I mean, the list of these
degenerates goes on and on. Yet. Yet they're
trying to tell you how to live your lives and
limit your freedom to choose. Which is the whole
point. Right. Now most of this is coming from
the far right with the influence of the church.
So let's talk about that for a minute. The church.
How many thousands of young boys and girls have
been abused at the hands of priests or preachers?
Institutions have been covering it up for decades,
probably a century or more. And they just simply
reassigned the priests. Right. Cover it up. Entire
congregations shut down and pop up somewhere
else. How about that? I have not an issue with
morality or faith. People want to have faith,
faith in stuff, faith in things. That's great.
I have no problem with that. I grew up in the
Catholic Church. Went to a Catholic high school
and a Jesuit University. Great education, no
complaints. Got problems with a few other things,
which is why I haven't stepped in a church in
a very long time. However, it doesn't mean I'm
faith -less. I have faith in things. I have faith
in my kids. I have faith in my closest friends.
if there is something higher or greater than
us, and God, I hope somewhere in this universe
there is, I just hope I'm living a good enough
life. We all try to just say, hey, here's a baseline.
Let's see if we can live a good life. I think
everybody has, once again, their own definitions,
and I think that's fine, but I'll be damned if
a building with a cross on the top of it is going
to dictate to me. Right how I'm supposed to do
it or cherry pick things out of out of a book
To tell me how to live my life, right? That's
that's not gonna happen either I Think and this
may be controversial, but what the hell it's
it's it's what it is but Religion or more specifically,
we'll just call it the church, right? Should
be the item on the chopping block and not adult
entertainment Right. If you want influence over
the government, you pay taxes. Period. Exactly.
That's what I feel. And it seems like so many
political decisions, recently especially, have
a very religious, biblical base to it and for
the reasonings for what they're trying to do.
Right. Now some business downright fascist some
bits right out of Hitler's playbook and I called
this back in 2016 Yeah, and some of my friends
were like, oh, that's kind of crazy man. That's
kind of I said watch it watch it You you you
see this dude and he's been on TV and you think
when this crazy shit comes out of his mouth You
think ah that he's just you know, he's just being
himself. He's just taught. Nope when he says
shit He's gonna do it right and you're just like
no, that's crazy shit. Yep, and he's gonna do
it And when they came out with that two thousand
twenty five project twenty twenty five, the Christian
playbook or whatever. And that came out before
the election. Damn well knew he was going to
put this thing in place. Right. And I guarantee
you this bit of legislation, at least trying
again, that's in the ballpark. That's in what
they're trying to do. And problem number one.
With these fucking clowns, every accusation is
a confession. Someone needs to go through Senator
Lee's hard drives. Right now. Like yesterday.
Somebody hack it. Every accusation is a confession.
This dude is a fucking freak. He's a freak. He
probably knows Ditty. That's, yeah, right. That's
my hypothesis, of course. You know, I am, it's
alleged. I'm claiming this dude is a freak. Check
his hard drives, because this is absurd. To not
try once and twice, but three times, is absurd.
And of course he's surrounded by a bunch of yes
-men, he's surrounded by a bunch of colleagues
that think the same way he does, and of course
the government now leans that way. Which leads
me to point number two. Erasing this industry
from the internet is not going to erase it from
the internet, it's just going to deregulate it.
People are still going to make these types of
content. They're still going to be released online.
Perhaps not surface level web, it'll be deep
web. But then you're losing out on how much tax
revenue. And these performers and actors, if
you will, are missing out on the safety of it
being a regulated industry. Which means you're
endangering millions of American workers. For
what? To say, oh, we're doing the Lord's work.
No, you're not. No. No, if you were doing the
Lord's work, you would find every preacher and
pastor that is doing the most heinous shit to
children, that's top priority. Yeah, it should
be. That is top priority. Yeah, and the word
obscene, let's just talk about that for a hot
second. That's subjective. That is absolutely
subjective. You know, someone might go... You
know, let's just throw something out there. Let's
say a Playboy centerfold, right? So she's in
there, she's showing her bits, but there's nothing
x -rated about that. She's out there, she's showing
her bits, she's in whatever month. And someone
of these preachers could go, oh my god, that's
obscene. And someone else could go, I think it's
art. Right. I think it's art. There's a photographer,
and she's modeling, and it's art. And... So it's
subjective. So how are you going to sit there
and be like, oh, we need to define it? You can't.
What do you mean you want to define it? Right.
What's obscene to you might not be obscene to
me. That's the same thing for books and movies
and everything. Music. I mean, I lived through
the time when there were rash suicides, right?
And quite frankly, that had to do with boomer
parents and the kids and their struggling. And
we weren't going to live their lives. Right.
But we were under an immense amount of pressure.
And then once both parents started working, and
there's Key Latch Kids, which started with Gen
X, there was a lot of pressure on us to start
living as adults at a much younger age. And there
was a lot of pressure. And it was tough for kids.
And so a lot of kids did commit suicide. But
a lot of kids listen to heavy metal. because
heavy metal spoke to them. Sure. And talked about
dark shit. And it's like, yep, I feel like that.
And of course, what did Congress try to do? They
tried to blame heavy metal. Right. But the problem
is, people like Dee Snider and Rob Halford are
incredibly intelligent. Right. Just because they
sing heavy metal, don't be like, oh, they're
drugged out, potted out idiots. Nope. I got news
for you. Yeah. I listen to Iron Maiden songs
that pretty sing about shit you don't even know
about. Right. So I love the fact that they went
and Tipper Gore was one of the people that was
trying to get stickers on every damn album. And
they showed up and just kicked their ass. Right.
And it's the same thing. It's just censorship
period. Yes. End of story. I always say, look,
you don't like it. Don't watch it. Right. If
you are a parent and you don't want your kids
to consume it and they are under the age 18,
you as a parent can go, hey, get that shit off.
I don't want you to consume it. But once that
kid's 18, they can throw up deuces and be like,
fuck you. Right. I'm going to watch what I want
to watch. Yeah. That's the way it should be.
It's the way it's been. Right. And they're trying
to change the game. Right. And it circles exactly
back around to the fact that these ghouls...
Every accusation is a confession. Yes. Right?
Yes. It's absurd to me the lack of self -awareness
it takes to not recognize that being the so -called
party of free speech that these individuals align
with is the same party that is fully censoring
or attempting to fully censor this entire industry.
They're the ones who have threatened news outlets
if they dare negatively cover the president.
Yeah. They are exclusively the party of censorship
and yet have the gall... the audacity, if you
will, to go, oh, we're the party of free speech.
Like, the only reason you say that is because
you racist cunts can't go out into the street
and say the N -word. That's why you claim to
be the party of free speech. You are the party
of censorship. You're just racist and fucking
stupid. Yep, absolutely. 100%. And, you know,
we knew all of these sorts of problems were gonna
start. We knew it was coming. The upside is...
there may just be enough people on that side
of the aisle that either won't vote or will do
a no vote, and they've done it a couple of times
already, because they feel it's an infringement
on their rights to do so. And I think that they
need to defeat this and they need to stay on
it. and just an all -out assault, and this was
just another thing, and then I really wanted
to talk about it, because you talked, I think,
briefly a little bit ago about the money and
their ability to earn. This is a $71 billion
global industry. $71 billion. By 2030, they say
it's going to be a $76 billion industry. And
that's tax revenue, right? Is it not? What are
you doing? And here's the thing. These are consensual
adults, right? This is a person saying, I want
to make a living doing this. I enjoy doing this.
I might as well get paid for this. Sure. They
go on. They enjoy it. Whether it's a woman with
a woman or a woman and a guy or whatever sort
of scenario you can even possibly fathom. As
long as it's not. And once again, there are definitions,
right? You can't do shit to children. Period.
Period. Period. Jail for life. Right. You bury
them under the prison. Right. That's for sure.
You can't do shit to children. Although, going
back to the church, uh -oh. Yeah. They seem to
have no problems doing shit to children. It brings
us back around to the point we were making. That's
who needs to be on your list to check. Yep. The
church and senators. That's whose hard drives
you need to check. That's who... Those are the
perpetrators of the crimes. They're allegedly
trying to reduce right? What's who's that that
group? They they wear that mask on the line anonymous
or whatever Yeah, I love that I love them and
what anonymous and their group needs to do is
they need to do just that Get into those hard
drives pull a bunch of crap and don't Don't try
to extort, and don't do it for any sort of money,
and I don't believe they do. No, I haven't heard
anything. I haven't heard anything like that.
So literally get in there and just throw this
shit out into the public, like, as soon as you
can. Right. They will back down so fast. And
actually, it'll be too late, because once that
shit's out there, you're heading towards divorce.
There you go. Bye -bye. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.
It's over. It's definitely over but this sort
of shit pisses me off. This isn't what the United
States is about and And it's and it's really
not Even a right and left thing anymore. It's
like the old school Democrat Republican. That's
dead. That's gone. You you have this far -right
wing Theocracy corporatocracy, you know preachers
and billionaires are running the show. Well,
that shit's got to stop And everybody's got a
band together. So all you independents out there,
libertarians, even conservatives, where you're
like middle of the road conservative and maybe
you're just conservative for fiscal reasons.
You know what? Let's start changing shit at the
midterms. And that's the best we can do. As long
as this Project 2025 doesn't completely dismantle
democracy as we know it, there have to be. Like,
I'm typically somewhat of a pessimistic individual,
especially when it comes to politics, just because
of what I've had to live through and I know what
you've had to live through. But I know for a
fact there are enough intelligent human beings
that live in this country and are of voting age
to know that what's going on is wrong. What's
going on is damaging the working class, it's
damaging the safety of working Americans, and
it is... what it is leading to is ultimately
way more disturbing than what we currently live
in. Yeah. It's just gonna take that recognition
of, well, we're gonna need 330 million people
to go out and vote. Yeah, right. You know, because
I'm one of those types that's, you know, I see
a future where maybe, maybe a violent revolution
is the only way. And we hope not. We hope not.
But there is a future where that is the only
way. Yeah. And in an effort to hope it does not
get there, you have to go out locally, regionally,
statewide, federally, any type of election. Vote
for the people that will actually stand up for
your rights. 100%. And as I said, it's going
to take It's going to take some people swallowing
their pride, longtime Republicans or independents
or whatever, and voting blue. And not because
you necessarily agree with everything that blue
stands for, and that's fine, you don't have to,
but understand it's not about that anymore. It's
about us becoming this dictatorship, this theocracy,
corporatocracy, whatever you want to call it,
and us being the United States of America, and
it really is that simple, and you're just gonna
have to get into the voting booth and figure
this shit out. And don't sit at home, because
that's just not an option anymore. It really
isn't. One other thing, this adult content creator,
she had posted something I thought was interesting.
She was debating with this guy. Not really debating,
they mostly agreed on everything, but he was
just saying how this is so much grander than...
pornography and she agreed she's like you're
absolutely correct they will take away sex education
and health care birth control and condoms will
be obscene same -sex marriage will be gone having
purple hair or not dressing as your birth gender
will be pornographic to them librarians will
be registered sex offenders it's sinister slippery
slope that's absolutely true so she killed it
on that one i think she said one other thing
here They use porn as a trigger word. Right.
They will go after video games, books, magazines,
music, TV shows, movies, etc. Then they will
go after what you wear and your hair color, your
gender representation. It's much more sinister.
And that's Miss Abigail Mack who wrote that so
she has been all over this shit Yeah, because
if a far righty gets to determine what they define
as obscene it could include Anything that's not
favorable towards the president it could be anything
that's not favorable towards their party could
be anything that's not favorable towards the
church or Corporate America could be defined
as obscene under this fucking stupid law Yeah,
oh yeah, for sure. This slippery slope is an
understatement, in my opinion. Yeah, oh yeah,
for sure. And it just, it has to be defeated.
I think it will. I don't, I don't think it's
gonna go far again. At least I hope not. Because
as I said, this is just, it's one thing after
another. Rights are being taken away. And it
sucks. Yeah, safety being stripped. Yeah, it
really and and we talked about this gosh, maybe
the three or four should know actually it was
last season sometime where we had talked I think
we had a conversation about a lot of the plane
crashes that were happening right because they
stripped the FAA and a lot of those jobs are
gone and it's the same thing for Noah who predicts
the weather right and their staff is stripped
by half now the CDC and the CDC measles outbreak
in Texas Ten years ago, if I'd said, hey, there's
gonna be a measles outbreak in Texas, you'd be
like, oh, Maloney, what are you smoking? Right.
Oh, there's been a vaccine for that forever.
Right. Correct. Right. There's a way to prevent
this from ever happening. And these ghouls, I
mention again, are trying to find a treatment
because a treatment is more profitable than a
prevention. Correct. Period. Yep. Well... We're
not fixing anything today. That's clear. That's
true, and I it was just a matter of Bringing
this to your attention which you guys probably
most of you probably know about maybe globally
They don't know everything that's happening here,
but it's it's very similar to 1933 Germany, and
that's why I freak out I went to a Jesuit University
Loyola University Chicago. I studied history
with a focus on that period of time right And
when I made that comparison in 2016, I was able
to read the tea leaves. I'm like, I don't like
what's coming. Too much is aligning. Yeah, it
really was. And it's happening. And unless the
other party can stand up and fight and eventually
win the House and the Senate this next time out,
it's done. Right. It's done. Yeah, so they they
and it goes far beyond just winning you have
not only to win But win and then start prosecuting
right you have to do it because these are criminals
committing crimes Yeah, how many other people
get found but if 32 counts felony counts 34 34
and you just get to walk around kind of bullshit
is that and become president. Yeah Yeah, yeah
people get ten years for having a couple grams
of marijuana Right. You have 34 felonies. Eh.
That's all right. Zero jail time. Zero jail time.
Oh, and you're president now. Yep. America. America.
Fuck yeah. Oh, God. Well, as we talked about
faith, I have faith in things. I'm starting to
lose my faith in this country. I haven't lost
it, but I'm losing it. I feel like I'm one step
ahead of you. I know you are. I know you are.
You're very apathetic in terms of Americana,
and I get it, but it's disappointing. It's disheartening.
Yeah, that it is. It's the point where I'm going
to get, when I'm able to do it, I'm going to
get my passport back, and I'm going to get to
Ireland, and I'm going to start... my paperwork
and my process to get dual citizenship, because
if this thing goes the way it looks like it's
going, I'm getting the hell out of here. Gots
to ski -daddle. Gots to ski -daddle. And I will
go, and I will get there, and I will set up shop,
and I will tell any of my kids, you guys want
to come, now's the time. Right. Sleep on my floor
until you guys get here to figure it out. Yeah.
Because that would be a better situation than...
Right. Trying to make this work, whatever this
is or is going to be. Canada, Ireland, Scandinavia,
Germany, a lot of better options out there. Well,
that's the thing about Europe, is you get the
European passport. I have a friend, she was a
professor at Stanford. What's up, T? She got
her Polish passport, or not her passport, citizenship.
Yeah. And her husband got his Irish citizenship.
They can live and work anywhere. Europe anywhere
Wow Must must be nice to have that kind of neighbor
neighborship Right with your fellow country in
community Yeah, and you know they don't always
agree and they have soccer fights and all kinds
of crazy stuff but all in all there they get
it and they're in it yeah, and they're pretty
much aligned and And and I love that she told
me all about it. I was like that sounds pretty
Amazing yeah now Am I too old to learn another
language? Maybe not. I've learned enough Spanish.
Could I go to Spain, maybe, and make it work?
I possibly could. Or just Ireland or England,
because we could obviously communicate much better
there. But at any rate, it's on the table. It's
on the table. It's disappointing that it's on
the table, but it is. So in the meantime, fight.
I encourage everybody to do so. um from everything
from municipal local stuff on up uh fight we've
been doing that here in valpo i'm proud to say
i've been one of the people fighting and we told
them to take their data center and fuck off and
they've done it so far but now they're trying
another place over by this town called wheeler
they just had a huge meeting there i think they're
gonna knock that one out too Even though there
are a couple plants in the crowd. They're like,
well, it has its benefit F off we don't how much
do they pay you to say that again, right? There
were plants I guarantee it so They're trying
to get one here But we beat that and then the
mayor was trying to kind of slide this big park
expansion in by knocking down these buildings
full of vibrant businesses bar restaurant a great
like cafe Italian like I don't want to say Bistro,
but a little storefront where you could get breads
and wines and pastas and things like that. Great.
And it's in a historical building with apartments
up above. And the building is in fantastic shape
and it's over 100 years old. So it should have,
like if I was the owner, I'd go get historical
designation. Right. And then they couldn't fuck
with me anymore. Yeah. That's what he needs to
do. But they just tried to use eminent domain.
Right. to do this. Yeah, we talked about that
recently. We talked about that. That was on a
show as well. You can kind of filter back on
that. But hey, sorry to say, did I print off
a bunch of flyers and I walk all over downtown
going every business and every business owner,
whether they were right or left, they were all
like, yep, I don't know what this is. But this
is anti small business. And this is what this
community it's what all small to midsize communities
in this country are about. Right. It's small
business. And that was the biggest F -U to small
business in a long time. Proud to say we beat
that, too. Good. They had to shelve it. So F
them. And we're going to keep on fighting. Damn
right. No matter what it takes. So you do that
on the municipal level. Wherever you're at, you
can do it. Even if you're in Chicago, you're
LA, New York, or wherever you're at, you can
do it. Get involved. You don't have to have a
lot of money or even a lot of time. When you
do have your time, just figure out how to do
it. Just be like, oh, there's this thing I write
about. This is really pissing me off. Talk to
some people. That's what the Facebook and Instagram
is supposed to be for. Social networking. Use
it for what it's really for. Right, right. And
make your connections and be part of this thing.
Because we're all going to have to do our part
to stave off this Reichstag shit that's coming.
Right. Because I'm done. I'm done with it. I'm
fired up, as I'm sure many of you folks out there
can tell. Damn right. But we'll keep fighting
and in the meantime, we're gonna play a little
music and We'll take the temperature down a little
bit. We'll take it. We'll take it down. I know
sometimes these get a little heated We're gonna
we're gonna so we're gonna become so cool. They
should call us the Febreze the Febreze brothers
and when we start fresh start fresh start and
we are enjoying a Beverage here doesn't have
any cucumber in it, but it did it would accident
in such a way All right, we're out of here. Enjoy
the music. We'll be back in a minute. All right,
hey everybody, we're back here on the Mark Mo
Show. It's Mark Maloney here with Aidan Maloney.
And we just had a very spirited conversation.
And part of that spirited conversation was a
talk about weather. And sure as shit, we were
wrapping up the last portion and getting ready
to talk to you about Carpe Diem. And we got these
notices on our phone, a severe weather outlook.
The emergency alert system. It clued us into
a dust storm. I've been in a dust storm before.
They're scary as shit, man. I'm telling you,
I was in Washington with my daughter, and we
had just cut across the state. When we entered
the state, there were wildfires. Classic. Classic
Washington. My man. So there were wildfires.
And where's the wildfire? We had to get gas.
So we're in a gas station getting gas in our
truck and our car. there is like this propane
company or whatever and then this smoke and I'm
like, Al, we need to get the fuck out of here.
We are gonna blow up, dude. This is not good
at all. I didn't see any fire trucks. I'm like,
we're getting out of here. And so we're driving
for a while, but it's very windy, which... gets
the fires going in Washington, because it's typically
very dry. And that gets the fires going. But
it was super windy, like 50, 60 mile an hour
winds. And they shagged us off the highway. And
it was getting tough to see. And all of a sudden,
like people were like going like five miles an
hour, like, what the hell's going on? And all
the cops had shut the highway down. We had to
get off this tiny little town, thousands of cars.
It's like, oh, no. Right. It was a disaster.
but it would have been a disaster to keep going
because people couldn't, you couldn't see. Like,
and we tried, we were in the car. We're like,
I wonder if we can just take, like we had Google
maps. We're like, this road looks like it might
do this or that. And we like tried and every
time we tried a road, there's a cop. They're
like, get out of here. They would not let us
go. Right. Well, I guess they knew best, you
know? Yeah, for sure. That is not something to
play with. So apparently that's something that's
going on here now. They're, they're warning.
us that there's a dust storm. That's kind of
fun. For anyone wondering if you got an emergency
alert on your phone and you're in the region,
you're probably thinking, hey, I got that last
night. Well, it's last night for us. Yeah. So
that's just when we record. So this is happening
right now for us. Right now we're looking out
the window. It looks very gray, brownish in the
sky. So I'm guessing that's the dust. Oh, yeah.
So if anything crazy happens. Let us know when
this releases, if you're in the region, the US
of A. Yeah, tell us about it. Chicago land. Tell
us something crazy that happened, because we're
inside, luckily, and safe recording. So let us
know. What's your experience with the dust storm
today? For sure. We'd love to know. But let's
get to these Carpe DMs. People send us their
DMs, and we read them on air. And if you have
a question, we might answer it. Maybe, perhaps.
We're not obligated to by law. But we usually
do. Yeah, damn right. So, I'll start mine this
week. Go ahead. And I got one from AtFreeMyWilly.
Oh, okay. Perfect timing. What is with this BS
legislation, man? My girl is a content creator
and I film and produce her content. We make six
figures a year in this industry, WTF. Must be
nice, brother. Yeah, well, for now, unless their
livelihood gets taken away. That's true. That's
true. At least you're safe for now. You're doing
things the legal way, the legal, moral, ethical
way. And you're doing the Lord's work out here,
so God bless your soul. But yeah, I don't know,
man. If you're that upset about it, maybe get
out and speak. publicly. This is pretty good,
but yeah, you know, get out there, hold a sign
outside a city hall, maybe. That might be a good
thing. And, you know, as you would do in business,
sometimes when business turns, things change
and it's survivability, right? You have to survive.
So if you guys enjoy doing this, be like, OK,
let's assume. America's gonna shit the bed like
they've been doing right. What's our plan? So
develop your plan? Yeah plan ready if that means
you're moving to the Cayman Islands of the Bahamas
or Canada or UK UK or whatever Get ready to go.
Yeah, see is best of luck honestly. Peace out.
Yeah, you'll you'll make a living elsewhere damn,
right The next one I have is from at crayon eater
2323. Oh man Sup guys love your show Would you
guys walk across the country for a million dollars?
You can't sleep in hotels or homes, and you have
only 40 days to complete. If you're late, you
get nothing. Up for the challenge? Forty days.
Forty days. Forty days to complete this challenge
of walking across the United States. Do we need
to do quick math here? I was about to look up
the width of the US mainland, because if they're
talking walking from, like, the northern part
of Maine to the furthest part of Guam, that's
not possible. That's not possible. Let's assume
he means like New York to LA. Let's make that
assumption. Yeah, so the width of the contiguous
United States is approximately 2 ,800 miles.
Okay, 2 ,800 miles and then figure out how fast
Humans walk even at a relatively brisk pace.
What are we talking three four miles an hour?
Right because once you surpass five you might
be light jogging. It's possible. So if you take
2800 miles divided by Let's say well 40 days
how many miles in a day would you have to do
exhaustion will set in? So you're talking three
miles an hour walking Okay, so Yikes, I don't
know 38, or I'm sorry, 2 ,800 miles by three
miles an hour is 933 hours at that pace. Okay.
But then you have to add on the fact you're gonna
be sleeping eight hours a day. At least. So you
have to... Using the bathroom. Right. Grabbing
something to eat. You have to divide that by...
0 .66 indefinite because a third of your day
is being lost so you're now talking 1400 hours
of time What was the what was the goal 40 days
40 days? Oh? Man, how many hours are in 40 days?
That's the way you can't do 24 because we already
assume you're gonna be sleeping and stuff like
that So you know I already did the calculation
for that so 40 days times 24 hours 960 hours
and at the pace we just set we were talking 12
to 1400. Oh no. So that's not doable unless you're
at a light jog. Right, I don't think it's possible.
No. And I wouldn't do it if it's if the money's
if you're gonna put forth the effort and for
day 40 comes You started in New York and now
you want you're in like Topeka, right? And you're
like, oh screw this. I'm not on pace. I can't
make it Well, we do get a fucking uber home,
right? Come on. Yeah I think I don't know. Yeah,
I will pass on your challenge, but That uh, it
is an offer. It's fun mental math on that one
for sure. Yeah Yeah, I don't if somebody said
you have the whole summer to do it sure Yeah,
if you give me two months seems doable right
two months is a challenge if you gave the whole
summer you gave three months That's doable. You
would just have to commit yourself like literally
Quit your job figure out your yeah, you know
car and All your material possessions, but you
get a million dollars you could that's doable
in three months. I think so You know, I think
people have done it. I think people have walked
around the country I'm sure you'd have to figure
out the logistics of like where are your rest
stops where you can Get food use the restroom
Legally, I guess Agua Remarkably important. Yeah,
and you're not allowed to sleep indoors anywhere.
Well, no, he just said hotels and homes So things
like that. So what are you going to do? Stop
at a bus station and crash on a chair there?
Or a port? What are you going to buy like one
of those Waymo automated taxis and just like
buy it to sleep in it? I don't know if that's
legal. Public libraries. I mean, even those clothes.
Right. Yeah. So maybe sleeping outside. That's
difficile. That challenge. i'll pass but i like
bravo on that yeah that's that was a good i like
where your brain's at no doubt uh at at zippo
for zippy can i smoke anywhere these days oh
man i love swishers and i smoke a cigar every
sunday night with a glass of bourbon What is
your go -to stogie and or bourbon? Good man,
good man. A swisher probably wouldn't be on the
list, but I do appreciate where your head's at,
because that's just economical these days. Right,
the swisher, that's probably just something you
just pick up for whatever. But the stogie with
the bourbon thing, I'm sure... You're not having
a swisher with your bourbon. But if you're looking
for a little taste of tobacco, a little Nick,
that's... you know, for a dollar, you can't really
do better. However, with bourbon, there are these
cigars called acids, or blue acids, or something
like that. And they, the tobacco quality is pretty
nice on them. I think they're Nicaraguan, or
Ecuadorian, something like that, in that region
of, I think, Central America. And they've got,
on the wrapper, I think, it's the wrapper, they've
got like a tinge of sweetness to it. So you get
the sweet, with the tobacco mixed that with a
bourbon that's that's where my mind goes there's
also this cigar i had this cigar when i was oh
god this had to have been six years ago give
or take uh it was at a friend's graduation party
and it's this uh las vegas five star is what
it's called like the vegas five star cigar i
don't know what leaf they put in there or what
coating they put on the wrapper it tasted like
chocolate. Oh my God. It was smooth, the flavor
of tobacco, but it tasted like chocolate. And
I'm like, oh my goodness. This could be a problem.
That's a good problem to have. No doubt. So that,
I mean, granted, you'd have to find a bourbon
that pairs with the flavor of chocolate. Oh,
sure. That's the two ideas that come to my mind.
Yeah, that's good. I'm old school in that, in
like... Your Arturo Fuentes, I like those. Mati
Cristos are great. Romeo y Julieta and Cohiba.
Shows how little I know about cigars that I mentioned
a couple of cheap ones. Yeah, those are all,
if I'm gonna have a night, just myself with a
glass or a couple friends. That's the shit right
there. Do you recall, because you've told me
the story of one of your recent trips to Vegas,
and you mentioned you were able to purchase Cubanos
out of a restroom. I did. Do you remember which
brand? I don't. Oh, shucks. Because I was going
to ask what the brand was. Dude, I was probably
four or five gin and tonics in at that point.
And I had been day drinking anyway. So by that
time, I just remember that I got one. I didn't
remember what the brand was. I remember. Like
it was very flavorful but it was like smooth
too. Sure. Oh man, what a good night that was.
Good memories. Hanging out with some Arab dude
with a Lamborghini and we're just drinking gin
and tonics and smoking cigars and driving his
car around. I remember the first time you told
me that story and you were like, yep. Felt like
a million bucks. Oh, yeah. I'm like, shit, it
sounds like a million dollar story. Even just
for a few moments, man. It was pretty sweet.
Yeah, but that's what I do there. In terms of
bourbon, I would say Buffalo Trace is kind of
the standard, at least for me. It's a pretty
high standard, too. Yeah, I do like Buffalo.
I think it's unallocated, too. I believe it is.
I believe you're right. There's a tin cup bourbon.
That is very phenomenal really tin cup. I believe
it's an american brand. Yeah But yeah, they've
got a fantastic whiskey just an american whiskey,
but their bourbon is phenomenal tin cup tin cup
Doing a little live research here. Just planting
that seed there for you. I'm not sponsored I
swear to god, but it is It is just wonderful
Yeah, I um Yeah, so buffalo trace is one tin
cup. I'm going to have to figure that one out
for sure. I'm always up for trying something
new. So that would Woodford Reserve I've had.
I like it. I like it too. I like it. Jim Beam.
It's more. Kind of like your macro and micro
brews. That's your macro distillery. It's your
macro, but I've been to their distillery and
their distillery is a very cool place. So I did
like that. Elijah Craig is a good bourbon. Yeah.
Yeah. I do enjoy that one. And Makers. Makers
is right there with Buffalo for me as a favorite.
Yeah, I would agree. It's kind of the classic
go -to bourbon, especially for this region. It's
like... You know, you get the red. It's dipped
in the wax. It's classy. It's yeah, and it's
not Terribly overpriced to be fair. It's true.
You know, it's true even basil Hayden is Relatively
reasonably priced for an upper tier bourbon.
I feel sure And one that's also an allocated
stuff to get is Blanton's. I haven't tried Blanton's
yet. It's because we never get it. Yeah. And
I used to work with a liquor store and they would
get their allocateds. They never knew when they
were going to get them. They'd get a box or just
be bottles in there and be like, all right, what
did they send us? Yeah. And this is kind of how
it works. But rarely we'd get Blanton's and they
would like the same four or five guys that come
in like every week. Oh. Got Blanton's? Nope.
Right back out. That's all they were interested
in. An issue I have heard too is with those allocated
blends, or allocated bourbons rather, people
will go in to purchase the bottle to resell it.
To resell it. That is a thing. That is true.
That's a major issue. And it's not an issue specific
to the liquor or alcohol industry. It's everywhere.
It is a symptom. of late stage capitalism, where
people are always trying to make a buck. It doesn't
matter, I mean, the biggest example of this is
Pokemon cards. People scalping Pokemon cards
or gaming consoles, it's everywhere. And it leeches
down into things like a good bottle of bourbon.
and that's just disappointing. it is disappointing.
it's very sad. it's very sad indeed. quite. quite.
dubitably. but before we take our next break,
there was a little thing called other foods and
the other foods are just that. it's not the stuff
you're going to go into your grocery store and
pick up off the shelf. oh no no no no. this is
stuff that will make a billy goat puke. it will
make you look at it for five seconds and go oh
oh no. so what did you find this week? Well,
I hate to be this guy, but this other food actually
comes from the Carpe Diems I haven't read yet.
Oh, okay. So, the Carpe Diems I got this week,
if you were interested. Oh, Jesus, God. I was
waiting for that to sink in. Man, I just had
a major brain fart. Did I have a stroke? It's
okay. Am I drooping? Am I drooping at all? I
was about to say it's been a long - God damn
it. It's been a long week for both of us. We
both work full -time, excruciating jobs, laborious
mentally. It wasn't a full -on Bruce Bixby moment.
That's true. But it was damn close. It was damn
close to a Bruce Bixby. Aidan, what DMs do you
have for us? Fuck. I was about to compliment
your clean segue, but I was like, wait a minute.
Yeah, well, shit on that. That's all right. You're
welcome. I got a DM here from at DJ Bumbo Asking,
what are some songs you never get tired of? Okay
So like I guess like the amount of times I hear
it and never get tired of it. I would have to
put like When I come around by Green Day, okay,
that's got to be up there. It's very catchy.
Oh, yeah, I mean There's there's a lot And I
know recency bias plays into selections like
this, but when I come around by Green Day, I
would say the Red by Chevelle is like that hi
-fi grungy type of metal that I'm really into.
There's a lot of Irish music that I could just
listen to all the time. Flugging Molly. dropkick
murphys that i never get tired of but for some
reason i only listen to in the month of march
that's gonna change i'll listen to that listen
to that year round so listen to that on after
hours yes absolutely i would i would say Not
like us by Kendrick Lamar, but that has kind
of been overplayed. That's not Kendrick Lamar's
fault That's of course the radio trying to capitalize.
Oh sure on a popular song, but there are other
Kendrick Lamar songs I don't get tired of count
me out Silent Hill euphoria hmm DNA TV off hey
now Like that, but that's a collab with future
and Metro Boomin. There's a lot There's a lot
of songs I really don't get tired of, necessarily.
But, you know, as the professionals say, all
good things in moderation. You know, in order
to not get tired of something, don't do it all
the time. Right. That's true. That's very true.
Yeah, I'm not sure what would qualify for me.
I don't know if it would necessarily be a song,
be more like a band. Sure. So like Iron Maid
songs never get old to me. Billy Joel never gets
old to me. Oh good one. Yeah, so those are like
two I can just I can listen to him whatever right
now. That's not a problem But yeah, I don't think
I have a song per se but definitely definitely
those two Groups for sure. Yeah, I would agree
with that. My boy ham bone asking if yours if
your thumbs were nozzles What liquid would you
choose to dispense from them? Being once chosen
they cannot change So if I had two permanent
nozzles attached to me, in my thumbs, what liquids
would I choose to be dispensed from them? One
of them I think would be unleaded gasoline. And
just stick it right in your tank? Stick it right
in my tank. That's funny. That's going to save
me thousands of dollars a year. Yeah, it would.
So I'm going to choose one thumb to be unleaded
gasoline of a nice quality octane, I would say.
The other thumb, the other thumb, I'll go an
underdog here. The other thumb I'm gonna say
fresh clean drinking water. Wow. Because since
the world is heading to shit, I figure, you know,
people always say, oh, the next big war is gonna
be about water. Well, I'm not sure about that,
but I know water is an issue going forward. I
want a thumb that's able to dispense. Potable
drinking water at a moment's notice. It also
means I don't have to ever buy a water bottle
again That's funny. So I'm talking unleaded in
one thumb water in the other thumb. Hopefully
I do not ever suck the wrong thumb Yeah, yeah
for sure that's that's my thumbs or put water
in your gas tank shit, right Boy oh boy, I would
say Beer out of probably PBR Highlife. Oh, there
you go. Just as a standard, I would do that.
The Peeber thumb. The Peeber thumb. Yeah. And
then out of the other thumb would probably be
Makers. Oh, yeah. And just alternate and just
at a moment's notice be like, you know, today
sucks, let's get hammered. Trying to get fucked
up. Yeah. Absolutely. You know, I think those
two thumbs then become a way of solving problems
because alcohol is a solution. That it is. That
it is, my man. Scientific of you. I took chemistry.
Scientific of you. Yeah, thank you. You could
also be, you could also monopolize on that being
the magician bartender. Oh, I could do that.
You want makers? Just do a little thumbs down
into this cup. Oh, makers out of nowhere. I love
it. They could be a moneymaker. Damn right. That's
what I'm saying. I dig it. Pros and pros. Pros
and pros, baby. That's what it's all about. The
final Carpe Diem before we finally get to the
other foods that was mentioned a moment ago.
Death checked in. Oh. The death. The death. Okay.
Asking if I offer you $100 ,000. I offer you
$100 ,000 if I tell you your death date but withhold
the year. Do you accept? Death date. Death date.
So death would come up to you and be like, hey,
May 14th is your death date. You don't get to
know what year it is. Do you accept knowing your
death date for $100 ,000, withholding what year
it happens in? That's some pretty heinous knowledge
to be bestowed with. Yeah. But $100 ,000 is a
pretty nice amount of money for right now. Is
the way I take it. I think I would. I think I
would. First of all, $100 ,000 is pretty fucking
nice. Period. Full stop. I would solve a lot
of my current problems, in fact. Secondly, not
to be terribly morbid, but I am pretty comfortable
with the idea of death. I think... when something
is inevitable, there's not a lot of reason to
dwell on it or fear it necessarily. You know,
it's one of those things you can mentally work
around with the mindset of, yeah, I mentioned
this during the intro of like, every day's a
blessing kind of treated as such. So... Yeah,
I don't necessarily fear death and knowing my
death date, of course, every time that date comes
up, I'll be like, oh, is today my special day?
But, you know, I'll be $100 ,000 richer, so.
Yeah, that's true. I'll take your deal, death.
I will also take that deal. Just tell me, man.
That's completely fine. And also from the perspective
that you have a lot more dates in front of you
than I do. So if he gives me a date, I'll just
be like, okay. So one in the next 20 or 30 or
40. If it's like June 30th, it's like, oh shit,
is it this June 30th? Oh no. And if that's the
case, on June 29th, I'm getting hammered. I'm
getting laid. I'm going to eat so much bad food.
And then if I wake up the next day, I'll just
be like... Ah, shit, it's not this one. Yep,
if it happens, it happens. Yeah, but like the
day before is just a day, just a debauchery.
Yes, absolutely. It would be, it would be Death
Day Eve. Yeah. And every year would be insane.
It would be, it would absolutely be insane. So
it's like, okay, it's like, yep, that's the day
I'm going to die, so let's make the day before
just crazy. Yes, a celebration. I agree. Yeah.
That was the last DM I got, I believe. I actually
missed one. Oh! I actually missed one in all
the excitement of the cigar and bourbon talk.
I know. So you missed your DM. I'm just fucking
up this show so badly. No, no. You're adding
character. Oh, is that what it is? Yes! Good
God. These people are like, this guy's a real
pearl. Silver linings here, Father. Oh my God.
Well, you know, if anything, people are probably
laughing, so. Good on ya. Hopefully you are.
Okay. The one I missed. The final DM. And it's
a shame, really. At StonerStanley420. How could
we miss StonerStan? That's what I'm saying. Holy.
Alright, here's what Stoner's gotta say. Momo
and Alan in my head again. Okay. You never stop
in my head. Why? Do you guys even sleep? How
do I get Kevam to shut up? Well, if you're having...
It's a lot to unpack there. Yeah. Yeah, that
is a lot to unpack. This seems like it would
be better... told to a therapist, which I am
not a licensed therapist, but my unprofessional
advice to you is just continue listening to the
Mark Mo Show, preferably on repeat, in your waking
and sleeping life, because it seems it's doing
you wonders. As far as Kevin being able to get
him to shut up, I would just say take him out
of your trunk. That would be, I was about to
go there. I'd be like, well, if you let him out
of the trunk, you're probably gonna shut up.
Right, right, right. Wow. My man's staying. Yeah,
I guarantee you he's got those earbuds in, and
like we're on a loop. I'm pretty sure that's
what's going on. He's probably so high, he listens
to like 15 seconds of the show, forgets what
happens, hits the back 15 seconds. listens to
it again, forgets what happens. That's why we're
always in his head. I think so. Because you ever
like read a book and you're reading it, but it
doesn't commit to memory. So you're like, oh
shit, I missed this paragraph. I have to go back
up to the top. Yeah. That does happen. But for
him, it's this entire show and it's on a 15 second
loop form. It's like Groundhog's Day. Yeah, exactly.
But it's just the Mark Boshow. So I would just
say keep listening. It seems to be wonders for
your health. Yeah. Keep listening, stoner. And
if you have any other DMs, please send them our
way. Ladies and gentlemen, we would greatly appreciate
it. And now, drum roll, please. The other foods.
Now, I'm going to shut up. Aidan, other foods.
What do you got? Makes a billy goat puke. Oh,
god. This comes from my favorite website of all
time, the Disgusting Food Museum. Oh. They are
the ones who have done my research for me on
the last handful of episodes And I always shout
them out not sponsored, but I shout them out
because they have done the research on my behalf
This comes from Mongolia. Oh, oh This is the
13th most disgusting food in their museum They've
a museum to okay sheep eyeball juice. Oh No Yeah,
I'll let that sink in. Please don't. Shout out
Mongolia. Sheep eyeball juice. This concoction,
this is quoted from their article, this concoction,
also known as Mongolian Mary, is the pickled
eyeballs. Yes, they're pickled as well. God damn.
Yeah, Mark Moe just saw an image. He was looking
it up. Mongolian Mary. is the pickled eyeballs
of sheep placed in tomato juice. It is commonly
known as a hangover cure and dates back to the
times of Genghis Khan. My man. My man. I think
he was a terrible person, actually, historically.
Regardless, if he is responsible for this concoction,
it's only fitting. The eyeballs... Quote, the
eyeballs are very high in antioxidants, vitamin
C and A. The tomato juice is of course a modern
addition since tomatoes did not exist during
the times of Genghis Khan. Pickled eyeballs are...
I'm reading this article as if I'm saying it.
Please, no. This is all quote, not quote from
me. Pickled eyeballs are the best and safest
to eat, but they can also be added raw or boiled.
No, yeah, what because of course pickling removes
any Any potential other ik the eyeball itself
doesn't have much taste to it But when bitten
it bursts in your mouth. Oh, no the gel like
Vitreous humor now of the eye fills your mouth.
No quote. Yes. They have tried it. Oh God the
museum Individuals have tried it. Sheep eyeball
juice. If I'm that fucking hungover at any point
in my life, put me down. I would prefer euthanasia
to sheep eyeball juice. 100%. I mean, holy hell.
100%. Yep, no doubt. If it works for you guys,
that's fantastic. You have a great time with
that. Oh, God. I'll pass. I think the best, I
think we even talked about this on a previous
either Mark Mo show or Mark Mo radio show. We
talked about what works for a hangover and honestly
the best thing that works, couple Gatorades,
ibuprofen. Before you go to bed. Yeah, couple
Gatorades, ibuprofen, you wake up, couple more
Gatorades, more ibuprofen, caffeine. It's a hydration
thing. A nap if you can. Yeah, that's it. Hydration
and sleep is what causes hangover. Correct. I
mean, of course alcohol is a poison Strictly
speaking. Mm -hmm, but That's the anti venom.
I guess the anti poison it is. So yeah You don't
need cheap eyeballs is what I'm trying is what
I'm getting avoid that at all cost. Yeah my god,
that's disgusting Well while you're thinking
about sucking on balls with gelatinous goopens
Gel inside of your mouth with that pickled eyeball
goodness. That's just that's That's obscene.
I want to see Vince from Slap Chop try to sell
me a sheep eyeball. Yeah, it's not gonna good
luck, buddy Good luck Billy blanks or who's the
guy that tapes the fucking boat? Oh Phil Swift
Phil's I Sawed this boat. I sawed this boat in
half and there is he's like on the open seas
pickled the sheep side Alright, music, and then
we'll be back. Good god. Alright, we're back
everybody, and I'm gonna really try to hold my
shit together. Locked in. Oh man, I'm so locked
in now. I'm drinking, so I'm better. It's just
a dust storm fogging up your mind. It's a dust
storm. I've gone on my phone, seen pictures,
and it is genuinely a dust storm. It's a real
thing. It's kind of crazy for Northwest Indiana.
Somebody even said, I've lived here 40 years.
I've never seen or heard of a dust storm in Northwest
Indiana. My man. Gotta love it. This is the first
for everything, baby. It's the first for everything.
I told you that things would be different in
my country. Make America dusty again. Yeah, right.
Could it be climate change? The climate changing?
No. Couldn't be. Couldn't be. Goodness sake.
I heard online that was a hoax. Well, I don't
know about all that, but I know I made a list.
And you just made the list as our next segment.
And that is a top 10 list of well -hacked just
about anything we can come up with. 10 through
2 in our big number 1 reveal. And let me see
these rules here. Oh, check that out. No rules.
Oh, you've got the rulebook in front of you,
too. I do. I do. Well, actually, there is one
rule. It says there are no rules. Which is contradictory.
In a way. But we're not going to comment on that.
Makes our job easier. I'm not saying anything.
Hell no. I was fucking up. Damn right. As the
Lord intended. As the Lord intended. I can keep
my mouth shut. And Aidan's going to start off
this. You just made the list. And this week,
favorite cars of all time. Really kind of opens
it up to a lot of possibilities. Aidan, what
do you got? This week was very fun for me to
create this list. I am big into cars. I love
cars, combustion engines, electric motors. The
cars in general are so fascinating to me because
the amount of engineering that goes into a machine
that creates thousands of explosions per minute.
Yep. To get you from point A to point B is nuts.
Sounds like Kevin's ass. Yeah, well, takes him
from point A Taco Bell to point B White Castle.
Yeah, I'm just talking about the thousands of
explosions. Oh, true. God bless your soul, Kevin.
I hope you get out of his trunk. Yeah, right
So I'll run my 10 through to withhold my number
one. Okay number 10 this car Has been one of
my dream cars since I was a wee lad since I was
a wee little boy The 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse
spider Convertible. Yeah, that's great. It is
it's just a kind of a globulous car. Yeah, you
know, it looks like kind of every other 2000s
or 2010s sedan, but it's a coupe and a convertible
and it's got almost 300 horse. So and its design
is fascinating too. From the front it looks sporty.
From the back it looks edgy. From the side it
looks OK. It's such a confusing car, but I've
loved it. It's so neat looking. Awesome. Number
nine on my list is the 1967 Chevrolet Impala.
Call me a supernatural fan, but ever since they
popularized it, it's just been a dream car of
mine. It's not very fast. It's it's, you know.
You're talking a car from the 60s, so it's not
very reliable. It's also a Chevrolet, which means
it's even less reliable. But it's so stylish.
It's long. It's a land boat of a sports car.
And that's calling it sports cars even a stretch.
But it's so stylish. Yeah. You know, remarkably
stylish. Number eight on my list is the 2025
Toyota Supra. Oh, they look fantastic. You know,
you're talking the old Supras from like the...
Shit, what's that one movie series? Fast and
Furious. Yeah, oh yeah. The old Supras, the tuner
cars. They just made it look phenomenal. I don't...
I remember hearing somewhere that they actually
didn't put a Toyota engine in it. Oh. They outsourced
the engine somewhere else. But if it's a good
engine and a good looking car, I don't really
care. Right. Number seven on my list is the 1969...
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. You're talking old
-school muscle. It's hard to get better than
that. It's So sleek. Yeah, that's very very sleek
number six on my list underdog a 2002 Ford Falcon
AU XR6 VCT it is an Australian Classic. Oh really?
Okay, so it is a Ford made in Oz made for Aussies.
From what I know, they didn't export any. Okay.
But they look like if Ford took lessons from
Mercedes. Okay. It's like halfway between a Taurus
of that era and a Mercedes because they put an
inline V6, Barra engine in it. which I think
it's 300, 300 plus horsepower. And it just looks
so, it's one of the more sleek cars that Ford
has ever made, but it was an Australian exclusive.
So we never got them in the US. Oh wow. So that
I would love to have. It's kind of a collector's
car these days because I think Ford in Australia
doesn't even exist anymore. I think even Holden
in Australia doesn't exist anymore, so. I don't
even think Aus produces any cars. Interesting.
Very neat. Number five. 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona.
Ooh, okay. They made an electric charger. I think
it's like five or six hundred horsepower. Okay.
I think it's dual electric motor Dodge Charger
body. but it's got this incredible electric engine
in it that just produces 500 horse. That's crazy.
I think it's got a range of two to three hundred
miles. So it's like you could road trip in it
and it's a sports car. Wow. It's an American
muscle EV. That's so cool. Number four on my
list is probably not that I want to give the
edge to anything too early. the most stylish
looking car I've ever seen, the 2011 Lotus Exige.
Hmm. If you haven't seen it before, I would recommend
looking it up. It is so cool. And Lotus as a
brand is kind of unique, because they've also
been intertwined with this brand called Proton,
okay, which made kind of the shittiest little
sedans you've ever seen. Which is fun. She's
interesting. They had their hand in both They're
like we're gonna make these economy cars that
are kind of dogshit and then we're gonna make
the most stylish high -end Yeah, this most stylish
luxury sports car you've ever seen So the 2011
Lotus Exige number three on my list the 2025
Lucid Air Sapphire It is a really expensive car.
Okay It is an electric car. But here's the thing
it puts out over 1200 horsepower. Wow 1200 horse
From an electric car. I think it's zero to 60
is 1 .9 seconds. Yeah Zero to 60 that's nuts
and I love it and it's stylish and I would own
it but I'm poor number two on my list Withholding
my number one number two on my list has been
my dream Which unfortunately got crushed by a
fucking deer A 2012 Ford Escape tuned. Fuck that
deer. Fuck that deer. I wanted to keep that car.
That was my first car I ever owned, by the way,
for all you lovely listeners, was a 2012 Ford
Escape. This beautiful metallic gray. God, it
was a nice looking car. And a deer just exploded
it and totaled it. Granted I guess it was my
fault. I was the one that drove into the deer,
but the deer was also in the road So mutual fault
one of us died. It wasn't me I had this dream
of taking that 2012 Ford Escape and I think I
shared this idea with a couple people and they
were like, yeah, it's kind of stupid and I was
like, I don't care I had the dream of taking
this 2012 Ford Escape and engine swapping it
with some Ridiculous V8 turbocharged and of course
it would be kind of a nightmare because you have
to work around everything the build the Ford
build was meant to be oh yeah, and you have to
plop a V8 in there with a turbocharger and Hope
it works, but my dream was to put like 400 horse
into that car That's that's a dream. That's number
two on my list unfortunately will not come true
unless someone gives me a lot of money for no
reason. Gotcha. That's fair. All right. My top
10 list. Number 10, the 2025 Mercedes E -Class.
Oh, nice. Number nine, the 2024 BMW i8. It's
a good looking mobile. Number eight, Toyota Land
Cruiser. It's not a 1958 Land Cruiser, it's the
1958 Land Cruiser. It's from this past year.
So that is really a sharp SUV. My number... Oh
yeah. Yeah, do you like that? I was just looking
it up. That looks nice. Is that nice? That's
a great one. It's like they took the Ford Bronco
and made it better. Kinda, yeah. In a way. My
number seven, the 1977 Pontiac Firebird. Oh,
that's a classic. It's so cool. Number six, the
mid 1990s Jeep Wrangler. It's one of my favorite
body styles. Very boxy, small. I like it. I took
it with a friend. I took it across country. That
was kind of neat. The number five, 1968 Dodge
Charger. That's classy. Oh yeah. That whole era
of muscle cars. Huge, huge fan. Classic Mopar
style. Number four, the 1990 Chevy Camaro. I
had a 91 Chevy Camaro. And it was great. It was
the RS. It's got power. It had tons of power.
I opened it up on the highway at 3 in the morning.
Got it almost to 120. My man. And then things
started tingling. And I'm just like, all right,
we're going to stop. We're going to stop right
there. This may be the fastest a human should
go. Yeah, it got very uncomfortable very quickly.
Number three, the 2014 Chevy Camaro. So the Bumblebee,
if you're a fan. Right, right. Of the Transformers
release. In my number two, the 2024 Ford Bronco
Raptor. Dude, that's a great looking car. Oh
yeah, I love it. I was going to put the Bronco
on the list, but I didn't know what to cut because
I had 11. And I was like, I want to keep it to
10 this week. I did cut the Bronco, but that
is a fantastic car. Yeah, it's awesome. Well,
what's your number one? My number one has been
a dream car of mine, of course, again, since
I was a wee lad, the 2017 Dodge Viper ACR. That's
a car. It is such a sweet car. And of course,
when I was a wee lad, you're talking, you know,
the 2000s Dodge Viper. But this this most current
one, I think they had to discontinue it because
they don't the Viper doesn't fit safety regulations
anymore. I think the ACR is like six or seven
hundred horsepower, which is insane for a combustion
engine. You're talking electric motors can kind
of get that without much effort these days, but
for a combustion engine, that's crazy. And they're
so sleek. So sleek. Definite number one for me.
All right. That's awesome. That Viper, that is
a great car. My number one will surprise no one
that knows me. 1970 Chevelle SS. Beautiful car.
It's so clean. It has to be the blue or the black
with the racing stripes down the middle. The
white stripes. Yeah. And the hood hooks. Oh yeah.
Gotta have those. And it doesn't matter in terms
of convertible. Can I have the convertible or
not. Either way. But I love that car. That super
sport is so clean. If I ever got a bunch of FU
money, it would definitely be in my top 10 of
things I would take care of immediately. I'd
be like, I need to get one. Put that in your
six car garage. Yep. Oh, yeah. Sunday cruising.
Sunday cruising. That's what it'd be. 1970 Chevelle
SS. Well, that concludes this week's You Just
Made the List. And typically I would go into
my review preview. Now, here's the thing. You
usually have to have a movie to review. I do
not this week. And so what I was going to do
in place of review preview, I love gangster movies.
I love a good gangster movie. And I thought I
would just give you a few of my favorites, especially
with the younger audience. Maybe you guys haven't
seen all of these. Sure. But I highly recommend
them. And they kind of. I don't know. It's kind
of like my favorites at the top and then kind
of works its way down, but I won't go into too
much depth here, but Godfather and Godfather
2. They're the champs, of course. Classics. You
would definitely have to see that. I love the
story, too, of the director of those movies.
or that's a screenwriter and director not having
much knowledge of making a movie that's true
and then like picking up a like made for dummies
book of like screenwriting and directing and
the godfather is in that book how about that
what a story what a story you set the standard
oh no doubt The next one is Scarface with Pacino.
Pacino and De Niro are in a lot of these. Then
that makes a lot of sense. Italiano. But Pacino
plays this Cuban, comes to the United States
after agreeing to assassinate a Cuban government
official. But when he comes here, he gets involved
in the drug trade, becomes a drug lord, the whole
thing. Really good movie. I'm not doing it justice,
but I'm kind of quickly going through these.
I highly recommend Scarface. Goodfellas, another
great one. Henry Hill knows only too well that
he must put the mob's interests before everything,
even his family. It's such a really good story.
There's so many scenes that will have you sitting
on the edge of your seat. Goodfellas, great gangster
movie. Casino is another good one. That's like
early 70s Vegas. And De Niro plays this guy,
Sam Ace Rothstein. And it's really good. So he's
like head of the Tangiers in Casino in Vegas.
A lot of really interesting things happen along
the way, which involves kind of this woman he's
involved with and she becomes a problem. And
then his heavy, played by Joe Pesci, and he becomes
a problem. But really, really good stuff. I enjoy
it very much. The Departed. Amazing class and
movie classic Irish mob in Boston. Oh, yeah loosely
based on the actual Boston or whitey bulger the
the Irish mobster. Yeah But excellent excellent
film, you know, you get what Nicholson and Wahlberg
and DiCaprio, right? The list goes on. Yes, Alec
Baldwin just amazing actors throughout Miller's
crossing Excellent, excellent movie. It is basically
once again the Italian mafia, Irish mafia, and
some things happen with dating this girl who's
dating another guy that she shouldn't be. while
dating a mob, the head of a mob, and it just...
Oh, complicated. Things get very complicated
quickly. But Millers Crossing is an excellent
movie. Black Mass, so, so good. Johnny Depp actually
plays Whitey Bulger. Benedict Cumberbatch plays
his brother. Oh yeah, that's great. So good.
I mean, he is so unbelievably excellent in this
movie. Yes. Whitey Bulger because Whitey Bulger
is he is just just a jerk yes so many people
a couple others here I'll just throw out Donnie
Brasco the town Heat once upon a time in America
and a Bronx tail just a few others that you know
you guys should consider in terms of that, so.
Now, did you have a while you were sleeping?
Should we try to fit that in? I do. Well, it's
up to you, Mr. Time Master. I think we're gonna
do it. I think we're gonna do it. I think we're
gonna do it. This while you were sleeping, I've
mentioned before on a radio show, I've not mentioned
before on this podcast, I thought I would bring
it up because I think I mentioned it a couple
years ago, so I think it's good to bring up again
for the World Wide Web to hear. Justice League
Heroes. Ah, I love it. I love it. A 2006 console
video game for PS2 and Xbox. It is incredible.
It's a co -op. It's a single player slash co
-op video game. Couch gaming at its finest. Yeah.
We had it on PS2. We actually went from PS2 to
360 and then... Kind of stuck at 360. Yeah, you
know shit got too expensive, but ps2 and This
game is phenomenal. It's perfect for single -player.
It's perfect for like co -op sitting next to
your teammate You get to select At certain points
in the game you get to select which hero you
want to play as which is fun But you're playing
these separate storylines that all kind of converge
towards this main antagonist And the playable
characters you can play as, they're all in the
DC universe, of course. You've got Aquaman, Batman,
Black Canary, The Flash, Green Arrow, all three
Green Lanterns, well, of that era. Right. So
you're not, you know, you're not talking the
weird Ryan Reynolds era. You're talking pre that.
You've got Hawkgirl, Huntress, Martian Manhunter,
Supergirl, Superman, Wonder Woman, Zenata. And
the villains are classic of that era as well.
It's phenomenal. If you're talking games of that
era, of course, buying it new probably would
have been 60 bones. I think we got it used for
10 or something like that. But it's easy to sink
dozens of hours into it because, A, there's no
microtransactions like most dogshit games these
days. And it's so fun. There are little trackers
of... Progress and like coins collected like
little things like that where you can unlock
in -game things By simply playing through the
story. Yep, and like replaying missions and things
like that Unlocking different skins different
characters you can play as at different times
that you didn't have previous access to a really
phenomenal gameplay loop, but every loop takes
long enough that you kind of Appreciate every
time you go into it. Oh, yeah You know and for
for PlayStation 2 era games That's that's kind
of unheard of especially for like DC. You have
had such a rough couple decades Yeah, that was
perfect for that era and it got slightly panned
I think on IMDB. I got like a seven five out
of ten which isn't bad but I would have given
it much higher than that. I had a lot of fun
playing it and I know we as a family had a lot
of fun playing it. We did. It was a lot of...
I always enjoyed playing Zatanna because she
had these magic powers, man, and she was kind
of like... DC's version of like Wanda Maximoff,
the Scarlet Witch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she could
just do all that stuff, and it'd be like, oh,
Superman's the strongest, Batman's the, you know,
blah, blah, blah. And then she shows up, she's
like, bippity boppity boop, bam! And this is
like, just blasts everything. These motherfuckers
is gone! Oh, so good, so good. Yes, very OP.
And this was back in the era where like, like,
Game Genie shit and like, entering cheat codes
in hidden menus was a thing. Yes. To get different
unlocks. Really really fun era of gaming and
I agree, you know If you don't own a PlayStation
2 you don't own this game or anything like that
First of all, I would say try to ps2s and old
ps2 games are cheap But you can also try and
emulate that because I know for sure emulators
are are pretty accessible these days So that
is my while you were sleeping. I love that. Awesome.
Well, thank you for that. That's amazing. And
especially because I do have some experience
at that game myself and I love it. All right.
We're going to take a quick break and we're coming
back. We're going to try a beer and then we're
going to finish up with another tier list. All
right, we are back for our final couple of segments
here on the Mark Mo Show podcast. If you like
what you're listening to, definitely give us

doubt. And we appreciate all of you, homies and
homettes. And so let's get this thing going.
Beer review time. The official beer review. The
Mark Mo Show beer review. There are no others.
One drink. Everybody knows the rules. Come at
me, bro. What are you gonna do? Yeah, come at
me for all the money we're not making. We have
all the fair use and parody satire laws on our
side, you rich cunt. Exactly, exactly. So here
we go. We're going to try the beer. Aidan, why
don't you give everybody a little 101 on this
delightful lager that we have. We've got a American
lager in front of us called the Montaki Cold
Snack. It's a 4 .1 % ABV, one of the lighter
brewskis we've had in a while on this show. Now
you might be thinking, hey, Montucky kind of
sounds like a mix of Montana and... In Kentucky.
Kentucky. Well, you'd be half right. It's made
in Bozeman, Montana. Oh. Not sure where the tucky
comes from. I was sure it was made in Kentucky.
Yeah, it's... I'm not... Entirely familiar. I'm
a big fan of Montana where the tucky comes or
Montana is a beautiful state really large state
It's a massive state massive. I mean, it's right
up there I mean most people know, you know, Alaska
the largest state Texas a huge state Cali Montana
is a really large state especially especially
if you're road tripping through it. Oh Like when
does it end right? Granted, it's beautiful to
drive through. It's not Nebraska or New Mexico.
It's not boring. You see beautiful mountains
and forestry. But yeah, Montaki. This is quoted
from Untapped, the phone application. Montaki
Cold Snacks derives its name from the term of
endearment for Montana. Montaki. which I did
not know was a term of endearment for Montana.
I had no idea. I guess the Kentucky of the North,
perhaps? I wonder if Kentucky's term of endearment
is Cantana. Cantana! I should really stop. I
should really stop. Cantana fried chicken? What?
What does that mean? What does it mean? Why are
we here? Simply put, it refers to the backwoods
and rural areas of the state. Cold snacks is
a tongue -in -cheek way of referring to the beer.
i .e. let's go crack some cold snacks. Crack
into some cold snacks, as they say. I'm down
with that. So this beer's kind of been popping
off recently. We've got our hands on a couple
pints in front of us. All right. And you at home,
whatever you're slurping on, let us know. Cheers.
On the socials, we're trying Montucky Cold Snacks.
Slainte. What's clean? She clean. She smooth.
There is an aftertaste in there. Little bit.
Little weedy wonder bread aftertaste in there.
Common in some lagers, it is light, but it's
not light as in the like Bud Light, Bush Light,
Keystone Light era of beers. It's light in the
fact that it doesn't offend. I agree. As a lager,
and lagers are pretty light beers anyway, I would
say it's kind of full bodied. Yep. Right? Because
you get something on the tongue at first, and
then you get the aftertaste. But it's not super
strong. No. I would agree. I like it. I'm not
a big lager guy. You know, I prefer the more
full -bodied beers, Porter, Stouts, IPAs. But
as far as lagers go, this could, what was the
one we had? Play Hard lager. Yeah, that was good.
I believe. This is kind of up there with that.
When we had I'm trying to think what I and it's
funny because we did we did kind of mock the
one bite App right right right his little bit
that he does Earlier, but he runs into the same
issues when he tries very similar pizzas And
he's like right what did I give that one score
right because then if you like it or don't like
it as much You're trying to you're trying to
be as accurate as you can with your scores, and
I think we try to do the same thing Yes with
our beer I think it's a 3 .25 for me. I'm not
sure what we did in terms of the Playhard. I
think I might have been a 3 .5. We, well I, I
don't know if we agreed, but luckily with the
Untapped app, not sponsored, but is recommended.
The Untapped app, I gave Playhard a 3 .75. Yeah.
Which for me is very high for a logger. It's
high for a logger. Yeah. This one, I mean this
is, this is, Equally as smooth. I don't think
it's as full -bodied So I'm gonna give it a 3
5 out of 5 3 5 which is Remarkably respectable
and you'll have to take this from me for someone
that does not prefer lagers above others this
Giving 3 5 to a lager is still a strong score.
Yep I'm gonna stick with my 3 and a quarter 3
.25. I do like it and I I actually get excited,
especially this time of year with the lagers,
because I like to make my own shandies. Don't
use that plain lemonade shit. Don't use the non
-fizzy stuff that Canadians do it right. Get
yourself some fizzy lemonade or a fizzy lemon
drink, and it's simple. It's 50 -50 to rank.
Half lager and half the lemonade, fizzy lemonade,
whatever. It's great. It's a great summertime
drink. Yes, and the point is that when you add
a still drink to a carbonated drink, it makes
that carbonated drink feel flat. So you do not
want your beer to feel flat. Of course, that
makes it unenjoyable. So you want to add the
carbonation to this fermented bubbly drink to
keep that bubbly drink. Correct. Yes. So yes,
highly recommended. I enjoy this. It's very good.
Yeah. Yep, Montucky cold snack. Very good. Not
sponsored. But hey, that's from Montana. I like
Montana. So yes, absolutely. Give you that three
five out of five. My man. Absolutely. All right.
Let's get to the final one. Our tier list and
our tier list for this week. American sports
franchises. Now, once again, Aidan can sit here
and grade it any way he wants. He can go on history.
You can go on recent history championships. Uniforms
fan base whatever and using just kind of this
overall grade Yeah, so we're gonna get at this
do it kind of similar to what we do did last
week We used to have this thing called rapid
fire. Oh fire what we'll have to bring that back
a few times Rapid fire was a lot of fun. So we're
gonna try to do that a little bit with this But
once again, I don't like to hold back if you
got a rant on something Oh, yeah, definitely
do it and I'd love the fact that rapid fire and
tier listing smooch so well. They do smooch so
well. Yeah, they smooch, man. They definitely
do. They definitely do. I think one has impregnated
the other. Yes. And we go from a tier of F being
the worst of the worst of the worst, D being
bad, C being mid, B being good, A being great,
S being the best of the best of the best. Of
the best. My man. That's right. Let's start out
with the Dallas Cowboys. That's gonna get a D
plus. That's gonna get a D plus. In my opinion,
of course you of course get to weigh in because
you're Mark Mo of the Mark Mo Show. That gets
a D plus from me because the only reason they
don't get an F is because they make the playoffs
damn near every year in the NFL in the U .S.
but they never win anything. And of course you
overpay this chode named Dak Prescott who hasn't
done shit for how many years. He's one of the
top 10 paid athletes in the world and he doesn't
do shit. Jerry Jones, you are a fucking clown.
Hurry, where's your red nose? That's a D plus
in my opinion. I'll give you the D plus for that
explanation. The Chicago Cubs. Oh man, that's...
Might be there was some rough history, but there's
some recent very good history. I would agree
I'm bias and I'm gonna show my bias. I'm gonna
give that's an a -plus. I I just love the Chicago
Cubbies They've always been the underdogs and
of course, there was that one season where the
bad thing happened But we don't talk about that
and there's a good season where the good thing
happened and we love to talk about that and You
know what most teams after they win the World
Series kind of have this up and down that usually
goes down afterwards We never really hit that
because we're so good at prospecting. That's
right. So I like the cubbies. I'll give an A
plus. All right. I'll give it to you. L .A. Lakers.
L .A. Lakers. LeBron. That's a C minus. LeBron
James. LeBron James. Do you disagree? C. See,
that's fine. I mean, LeBron James... Because
I'm thinking more of Magic Johnson. Oh, sure.
And, like, that era. So, yeah, I want to give
him a little bit of credit. I would agree with
that. And I think my... I don't hate LeBron James.
I think he is one of the top ten basketball players
of all time. I hate the fact that he's somehow...
Automatically given, like, oh, he's top three,
he's the best, he's the goat. No, he's not. No,
he's not. He's a flopper. He's a complainer.
You know? It's top ten. I'll give you that. Okay.
New York Jets. New York Jets, that's an F. Maybe
F +, but I don't know how the fuck you could
argue an F+. No, that's an F. That's an F. That's
an F. Philadelphia Eagles. You know what? I was
gonna give you a D. But I'm gonna, I'm thinking...
They did us a solid. I'm thinking with how much
of a solid they did. Yeah. You could argue B
minus C plus era. I'll give them the B minus.
I'm thinking B minus. That's fair. God bless
your soul, Eagles. That's right. New York Yankees.
New York Yankees, that's gonna be about a...
It's gonna be about a D plus two. I mean, it's
the same thing as the Cowboys. It's like, oh,
we're the greatest. We did the blah blah blah.
What have you done recently? True. Very true.
Oh, we made the playoffs cool. You lost. That's
right. Get fricked, New York. L .A. Dodgers.
Oh, man. Shohei Otani. Good lad. As far as I
have heard. But... Don't hate the player, hate
the game. I mean... Right. I mean, there's no
cap in the MLB. They get what they want. Yeah,
they pay the big money. I can't hate that. Because
of the caplessness, I have to give them like
B +, maybe A territory. I think it's gotta be
a solid A. I think it's gotta be a solid A for
what they do. I can't complain at all. Yeah.
All right. Let's move on to the New York Rangers.
Little hockey. Little hockey. The New York Rangers,
not a fan because they are not, you know, they're
not the Blackhawks. They're not the Devils. They're
not the Stars. The Stars being the only Dallas
team I actually root for. C. I'll give you the
C. Detroit Red Wings. Detroit Red Wings, I used
to dislike. But dislike and grading on a fair
basis are two different things. Right, right.
So overall, I kind of like the Detroit Red Wings.
I kind of root for them because they've been
the underdogs for how long? For a little while,
yeah. For a little while, at least in recent
history. Yep. I'm willing to go B +, maybe A
territory. B plus sounds like a perfect grade
for them. San Francisco 49ers. Oh, the 49ers.
Mr. Underdog. Love me some Brock Purdy, dude.
Yeah, a little Brock Purdy. McCaffrey. Yeah.
I mean, they've got things going for him, but
they just... Kittle that tight end. They're hard
to hate. I love good tight ends. Yeah. You know,
a good tight end makes or breaks a team, in my
opinion. I... Like the 49ers, I'll go be plus.
I love it. I love it. You are reading my mind
over here, dude We got about five more here Houston
Astros s -minus We'll just go Okay, meet in the
middle sewer of worst. Yeah, the st. Louis blues
f -minus Just once again, we'll just give them
the F. The Boston Celtics. I love the Boston
Celtics. They've been fantastic on and off for
decades. Almost always good, at least. Almost
always good. As far as basketball teams go, as
far as their history goes, I think it's hard
to beat that. It is. Great jerseys. I'm thinking
A+. A +, you could argue S. I think you've got
to put him in there. You've got to put him in
there. I think you have to. You've got to put
him S. Got two left. The first S. Seattle Seahawks.
Seattle Seahawks. I love the Seattle Seahawks.
The Russ Wilson era was fantastic, even though
Russ Wilson has kind of had his ups and downs.
Yeah, sometimes he cooks, sometimes he doesn't.
Yeah, he's not been cooking for a while. I love
the Seahawks though. I love the city of Seattle.
Me too. This is a biased opinion. I'm thinking
A. I'll give you the A. I think the Pete Carroll
era gives them the A. The 12th fan, Pete Carroll,
all of that shit. Right. Last one. Could possibly
be an S. Boston Red Sox. Shit. It's like the
good guys compared to the Yanks, right? I mean,
yeah. Compared to the Yanks, right? A plus S
territory, in my opinion. Fully David Ortiz poppy,
my man. Salutes, okay, I'll a plus a plus a one
s on this list so far so far This is part one.
We'll do a part two like we did with our cities
Next week and yeah one s so far a couple of days
and there we go. That is a beautiful list to
recap yes running down this list Dallas Cowboys
D plus Chicago Cubs a plus LA Lakers C New York
Jets F But we have more F's on this list than
last time. Philadelphia Eagles, B minus. Okay.
New York Yankees, D plus. LA Dodgers, A. Good.
New York Rangers, C. Detroit Red Rings, B plus.
San Francisco 49ers, B plus. Houston Astros,
F. I bumped them up from F minus. Right. St.
Louis Blues, F. Same width, right? The Boston
Celtics Superior, Seattle Seahawks A, and the
Boston Red Sox in A+. Beautiful. And that does
