Got some sparkling water. We've got a 00:00:46.539 --> 00:00:49.479 fun, a fun show planned. I have nothing to complain 00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:51.759 about. Ah, that's awesome. Yeah, it'll be a good 00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.320 show. And, you know, for a lot of folks out there... 00:00:55.390 --> 00:01:00.869 When this airs at least in America it is Memorial 00:01:00.869 --> 00:01:04.010 Day weekend very true And so hopefully if you've 00:01:04.010 --> 00:01:06.650 got that extra day off by chance Hope you get 00:01:06.650 --> 00:01:08.969 out there and have yourself a good time. Absolutely 00:01:08.969 --> 00:01:11.530 weather should be temperate Yes, at least in 00:01:11.530 --> 00:01:15.030 the Midwest I would just very local minded as 00:01:15.030 --> 00:01:18.409 far as weather goes, right? Exactly. So I you 00:01:18.409 --> 00:01:21.310 know, I'm not sure how it is where you are But 00:01:21.310 --> 00:01:23.189 I just hope it's a great weekend for you. Absolutely. 00:01:23.250 --> 00:01:25.689 If you're out there in Curaçao, shout out Curaçao. 00:01:25.909 --> 00:01:27.989 Absolutely. I'm sure your weather is beautiful. 00:01:28.629 --> 00:01:31.010 The weather is beautiful. I think it'll be important 00:01:31.010 --> 00:01:33.969 here within the next few seasons to maybe do 00:01:33.969 --> 00:01:35.810 a little bit of research on all the fine, beautiful 00:01:35.810 --> 00:01:38.310 people that listen to our show. Absolutely. And 00:01:38.310 --> 00:01:42.230 maybe hop over there and, you know, say hey and 00:01:42.230 --> 00:01:45.769 have some of that lovely... Blue Curaçao. Blue 00:01:45.769 --> 00:01:48.569 Curaçao and triple sec, whatever else they make. 00:01:48.730 --> 00:01:51.390 On that island, I would love to try. Yes, I am 00:01:51.390 --> 00:01:54.090 in the same boat. Awesome. And we would probably 00:01:54.090 --> 00:01:55.209 be in a boat. Probably be in a boat, right. Probably 00:01:55.209 --> 00:01:59.010 be in a boat, to be fair. But at any rate, that's 00:01:59.010 --> 00:02:02.989 what I love, is this thing kind of grows, matures, 00:02:03.489 --> 00:02:07.549 whatever, that we are able. at some point to 00:02:07.549 --> 00:02:10.090 be able to kind of hop around to the countries 00:02:10.090 --> 00:02:12.650 that listen to us most and be able to pop over 00:02:12.650 --> 00:02:14.610 there and be like, hey, we'll be at this pub, 00:02:14.689 --> 00:02:16.550 we'll be here, we'll be there, and be able to 00:02:16.550 --> 00:02:17.849 meet with some of our listeners, because I think 00:02:17.849 --> 00:02:19.569 that would be super cool. That'd be very fun. 00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:23.110 But anyway, hey, we produce new content weekly 00:02:23.110 --> 00:02:26.569 on all podcast platforms and YouTube. We also 00:02:26.569 --> 00:02:28.629 have some one -off interviews coming your way 00:02:28.629 --> 00:02:32.099 in the very near future. Just kind of... putting 00:02:32.099 --> 00:02:35.659 a few ideas together so they should be coming 00:02:35.659 --> 00:02:38.979 up pretty soon. They're fun, they're informative, 00:02:39.139 --> 00:02:41.139 all kinds of good stuff. Mostly local people 00:02:41.139 --> 00:02:43.960 that I interview, but I'm open to interviewing 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.900 people nationally or internationally for that 00:02:46.900 --> 00:02:50.800 matter. True. So we'll see how that goes. It's 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.340 local people, big ideas though. I think so. Because 00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:57.340 I think no matter where you're at, a lot of the 00:02:57.340 --> 00:03:00.370 things that local people go through, whether 00:03:00.370 --> 00:03:02.009 it's personally or professionally, whatever, 00:03:02.409 --> 00:03:05.389 I think at some point people just, they go through 00:03:05.389 --> 00:03:06.930 that in general. We're just all human, right? 00:03:06.930 --> 00:03:09.169 So we go through these things. So people tend 00:03:09.169 --> 00:03:11.469 to have more in common with each other than not. 00:03:11.729 --> 00:03:14.569 I think so. I think so. It's usually pretty compelling 00:03:14.569 --> 00:03:17.710 conversation. So hopefully everybody will like 00:03:17.710 --> 00:03:22.870 them. We've got a few coming up here soon -ish. 00:03:23.629 --> 00:03:25.930 But once again, if you like the Mark Mo Show, 00:03:26.490 --> 00:03:29.750 you know the drill.

A thousand imposters. A thousand 00:04:14.530 --> 00:04:18.730 imposters and one, only one original. Yes, because 00:04:18.730 --> 00:04:22.290 you did invade, you invented that. I did. I was 00:04:22.290 --> 00:04:24.449 there when it happened. That's very true. There's 00:04:24.449 --> 00:04:26.550 a lot of things we invented and there are imposters 00:04:26.550 --> 00:04:29.899 out there. Too many to count. That's right, exactly. 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.459 So check it out if you can. I think you guys 00:04:33.459 --> 00:04:36.600 will definitely like it.

A little fun horror game called Para 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.040 Eyes, which I believe we've talked about in... 00:04:58.029 --> 00:05:01.189 the while you were sleeping segment before, which 00:05:01.189 --> 00:05:04.050 is very fun.

It's good stuff. Yeah, indie 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.069 gaming is that it's... I think all time high 00:05:48.069 --> 00:05:52.189 over the last decade or so. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, 00:05:52.310 --> 00:05:54.930 definitely check it out for sure. Especially 00:05:54.930 --> 00:05:57.290 GeoGuessr is kind of one of my favorites. That's 00:05:57.290 --> 00:05:59.449 fun. Yeah. That he does. And check out the latest 00:05:59.449 --> 00:06:03.689 one because it's freaking hysterical. It's grand, 00:06:03.790 --> 00:06:06.790 yeah. It's really good. I just kind of enjoy. 00:06:07.529 --> 00:06:09.589 And here's the thing. This is kind of where I 00:06:09.589 --> 00:06:12.029 like where it's almost kind of interactive is 00:06:12.029 --> 00:06:15.079 that you know, he'll kind of take a right or 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.240 he'll take a left, and then he'll be looking 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:18.779 at things, trying to decipher where the hell 00:06:18.779 --> 00:06:20.240 he's at, because that's the whole point of the 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.120 game. And I'll be like, oh, there was a sign. 00:06:22.540 --> 00:06:24.180 I'm like, no, go back to your left. Go back to 00:06:24.180 --> 00:06:25.060 your right. And I'm sitting there, and I'm like, 00:06:25.220 --> 00:06:28.360 he can't fucking hear me. What am I doing? But 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.420 that's what makes that game so much fun. Yes, 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.720 I agree. You're sitting there, and you're like... 00:06:33.500 --> 00:06:36.279 Can't hear why am I talking half the time you're 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.319 on a time crunch, too So like I even got a comment 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.019 on that GeoGuessr episode. I posted recently 00:06:42.019 --> 00:06:45.060 someone was like, oh it was a guess I think I 00:06:45.060 --> 00:06:47.680 guessed Southern Pakistan and the answer was 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.379 Thailand and I zoomed in on a sign and I was 00:06:51.379 --> 00:06:53.879 like looking at the script I'm like, I can't 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.459 I don't recognize that script But it looks like 00:06:56.459 --> 00:06:59.360 South Asian and they pointed out like right below 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.790 that in English. It said Thai massage Oh, no. 00:07:02.790 --> 00:07:05.209 And I missed it because I was trying to move 00:07:05.209 --> 00:07:07.550 fast and I'm like, holy shit, they're right. 00:07:08.029 --> 00:07:10.649 I just completely fumbled the bag. I had the 00:07:10.649 --> 00:07:13.930 perfect answer. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. That's it 00:07:13.930 --> 00:07:16.389 exactly. And you just have to sometimes they 00:07:16.389 --> 00:07:17.949 throw you those little nuggets and you just got 00:07:17.949 --> 00:07:19.589 to look out for them. But like that one where 00:07:19.589 --> 00:07:21.790 they put you in the alley or wherever. Oh, yeah. 00:07:22.089 --> 00:07:24.970 Like, how the hell is he supposed to tell where 00:07:24.970 --> 00:07:27.730 he's fricking at and he's stuck? And now that's 00:07:27.730 --> 00:07:30.329 now there's a part of the game. And GeoGuessr, 00:07:30.329 --> 00:07:34.009 you can move about. And like you can in the Google 00:07:34.009 --> 00:07:36.250 Map program or whatever, kind of moving through 00:07:36.250 --> 00:07:38.449 the streets and things like that. So that's kind 00:07:38.449 --> 00:07:40.829 of the point of it. And you get a timer and you 00:07:40.829 --> 00:07:42.310 kind of make your way around and try to figure 00:07:42.310 --> 00:07:45.250 out where you're at. But like in some of the 00:07:45.250 --> 00:07:48.810 games, you plop in a spot and that's your spot. 00:07:48.930 --> 00:07:50.470 And you've got to figure out where the hell you're 00:07:50.470 --> 00:07:52.810 at. But they plopped him in this alley. I'm like, 00:07:53.189 --> 00:07:54.970 Jesus, dude. I'm like, how the hell are you going 00:07:54.970 --> 00:07:56.790 to tell where you're at? Right. Because it looked 00:07:56.790 --> 00:07:59.600 like an alley and maybe. Anywhere in like three 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.560 -quarters of the planet. Yeah, that was a tough 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.399 one. Yeah, no doubt. No doubt about that But 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.600 yeah, check his stuff out man. This is this very 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:10.600 entertaining Now moving on to we're gonna talk 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:16.040 about this week It's okay. So it's I think it's 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.259 fair to say that despite being a low -level menace 00:08:20.259 --> 00:08:23.620 Which I claim to be whether that's fair or not. 00:08:23.620 --> 00:08:27.060 I don't know this guy might know I'd say fair. 00:08:27.459 --> 00:08:29.560 Fair. Gets the fair approval. Low level menace. 00:08:29.660 --> 00:08:33.700 Maybe a little shit on occasion. Just as a treat. 00:08:35.460 --> 00:08:39.500 Exactly. But I think it's also fair to say that 00:08:39.500 --> 00:08:41.340 like I'm a good person. I'm a good human being, 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.299 right? And I'm a friendly person. Like I can 00:08:44.299 --> 00:08:47.559 go to any restaurant, any bar, any event. I'll 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:49.539 go by myself. I don't care if I got people to 00:08:49.539 --> 00:08:52.100 go with. Cool. If I don't... Also cool, because 00:08:52.100 --> 00:08:54.820 guess what? I'm going to make a new friend. I'm 00:08:54.820 --> 00:08:57.200 just kind of confident that way. But, you know, 00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.279 I greet people with a smile, and then, like, 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.019 if I see someone that kind of looks down, or 00:09:02.019 --> 00:09:04.480 something's going on up in their brain, you know, 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.460 I'll take the time to listen to them, talk to 00:09:06.460 --> 00:09:09.019 them, maybe get a smile out of them if I can. 00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:13.940 And I suppose I got that from my dad, who was 00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:16.820 that way with everyone he met. And when I was 00:09:16.820 --> 00:09:20.840 young, I sussed that out. Like, I picked it out. 00:09:20.789 --> 00:09:25.450 And I could kind of, I think I was a little bit 00:09:25.450 --> 00:09:29.470 more advanced than a lot of kids my age growing 00:09:29.470 --> 00:09:32.450 up, especially in public schools. I just, cause 00:09:32.450 --> 00:09:36.210 I, my parents treated me differently. They talked 00:09:36.210 --> 00:09:39.309 to me more like an adult from a young age. Probably 00:09:39.309 --> 00:09:41.470 being the last of five kids, maybe they just 00:09:41.470 --> 00:09:44.269 like, they were so used to communicating with 00:09:44.269 --> 00:09:47.320 older kids and teenage kids that like they were 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.080 just, they just communicated differently with 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:52.279 me. I'm not sure. But I always felt like I handled 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:55.299 adult conversation better. And I think to be 00:09:55.299 --> 00:09:58.460 fair, which, you know, Aidan and his three sisters, 00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:02.240 I always felt you guys were similar in that fashion, 00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:04.600 in that maybe the way you were raised or your 00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.480 homeschooling or some sort of combination of 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:09.559 it where you almost felt more comfortable with 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.299 more mature conversations as opposed to sure 00:10:12.299 --> 00:10:15.629 goofy adolescent. communication yeah and I would 00:10:15.629 --> 00:10:17.929 agree with that I don't think necessarily like 00:10:17.929 --> 00:10:20.610 I'm sure I had my moments I I don't I was not 00:10:20.610 --> 00:10:22.929 a perfect child I was an asshole at times if 00:10:22.929 --> 00:10:26.110 not maybe a majority of the time but I do agree 00:10:26.110 --> 00:10:30.610 I do agree with that like I never felt I never 00:10:30.610 --> 00:10:33.750 felt I was being talked down to yeah because 00:10:33.750 --> 00:10:37.730 of my youth or anything and I think that that's 00:10:37.730 --> 00:10:40.210 huge not only in confidence but in perspective 00:10:40.649 --> 00:10:43.029 that like, hey, you can have mature conversations 00:10:43.029 --> 00:10:47.190 with anybody. And it should be mutually respected 00:10:47.190 --> 00:10:50.909 that that's not only plausible, but doable. Yeah. 00:10:50.950 --> 00:10:57.789 Oh, for sure. And so in being this way and in 00:10:57.789 --> 00:11:03.049 viewing how my father handled himself in certain 00:11:03.049 --> 00:11:05.129 social situations and things of that nature, 00:11:05.750 --> 00:11:08.470 I was young. I was like fourth grade. And there's 00:11:08.470 --> 00:11:10.899 this career day at school. And I'm sure Aidan's 00:11:10.899 --> 00:11:14.100 heard this story before, but most kids in the 00:11:14.100 --> 00:11:16.940 career, they give the regular answers. I'm gonna 00:11:16.940 --> 00:11:19.799 be a firefighter, I'm gonna be a police officer, 00:11:20.340 --> 00:11:22.139 I'm gonna be a doctor, I'm gonna be a center 00:11:22.139 --> 00:11:24.740 fielder for the White Sox. Yuck. Why would you 00:11:24.740 --> 00:11:27.899 want that? God, I don't know. Likes pain. Just 00:11:27.899 --> 00:11:30.320 for the paycheck, maybe. I don't know, you know? 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.480 Maybe it would just be easier if someone convinced 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.000 that person, you know? You probably save yourself 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.809 a lot of trouble if you just hire... a female 00:11:38.809 --> 00:11:41.549 with a whip, a ball gag, have her beat the shit 00:11:41.549 --> 00:11:43.909 out of you. Be easier than sitting through three 00:11:43.909 --> 00:11:46.269 hours of baseball. Right, right. If you're a 00:11:46.269 --> 00:11:49.210 masochist, there are better ways. There are better 00:11:49.210 --> 00:11:51.289 ways than cheering for that team on the South 00:11:51.289 --> 00:11:53.970 Side. There's no question. But I stood up in 00:11:53.970 --> 00:11:56.529 front of the class and I said that I wanted to 00:11:56.529 --> 00:11:59.840 be my dad. And it got a few giggles, and the 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:01.480 teacher looked at me almost like I didn't quite 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:04.639 understand the assignment. And she's like, oh, 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:08.120 you want to do what your dad does? And I said, 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:11.960 no, no, that's not what I meant. I said, I want 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.919 to be a good man, and I want to be a good dad 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.759 to my kids when I have them, so I want to be 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:21.179 my dad. Right. So now, kids are kids, and they're 00:12:21.179 --> 00:12:24.919 giggling like, this kid's a dope. Yeah. And the 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.539 teacher couldn't have looked at me more adoringly. 00:12:27.539 --> 00:12:29.700 She was just like, oh my god, that's the greatest 00:12:29.700 --> 00:12:32.919 answer maybe ever. And then of course, throughout 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:34.899 the rest of the class day, I'm embarrassed as 00:12:34.899 --> 00:12:36.879 shit because she's going to all these other teachers, 00:12:36.980 --> 00:12:38.740 oh my god, Mark, come here. Tell them what you 00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:40.740 told me. I'm like, oh my god, I gotta go through 00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:43.360 this again. And then I'm just like, whatever. 00:12:43.460 --> 00:12:47.100 I changed my answer. I wanna work in construction. 00:12:48.539 --> 00:12:54.279 But it was heartfelt and it was honest. At any 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.059 rate, that's just kind of, I suppose, in the 00:12:58.059 --> 00:13:01.980 earlier stages of how I developed who I am. And 00:13:01.980 --> 00:13:06.740 I think everybody gets that realization as they 00:13:06.740 --> 00:13:11.299 go from like grade, school, age, into high school, 00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:14.700 eventually to college or a career. as you mature 00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:17.179 and as you grow, there's that point where you're 00:13:17.179 --> 00:13:19.879 like, oh, this is who I'm becoming. And at a 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:22.899 young age, I kind of figured out who I was and 00:13:22.899 --> 00:13:24.740 who I was becoming and the kind of person that 00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:29.340 I wanted to be. Sure. So anyway, massive fast 00:13:29.340 --> 00:13:33.259 forward to this past year. So my personal life's 00:13:33.259 --> 00:13:35.919 been just this roller coaster, you know, just 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:38.980 these, the highs weren't so high, but like there 00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:42.159 were good moments for sure. Sure. even when you've 00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:44.659 had a year like I've had, you have to, you know, 00:13:44.659 --> 00:13:47.120 and for anybody out there that has had rough 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:48.799 times, depression, you're going through some 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.840 shit, even if the highs aren't that high, take 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.240 it, grab it, run with it, feel good about it, 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.360 because sometimes it's all you got, man. Right. 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:00.139 You know, and - You gotta live in the moment 00:14:00.139 --> 00:14:03.720 and appreciate that. You really have to, and 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.480 while the dips in that roller coaster, I'm certainly 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.980 to blame for some of it, and - I'm not one for 00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:13.960 making excuses anxiety and depression play into 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:17.659 how you react and those sorts of things it does 00:14:17.659 --> 00:14:19.679 Doesn't always mean other people are sensitive 00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.820 to that and what you're going through And so 00:14:22.820 --> 00:14:26.620 that at times causes problems without without 00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:30.899 a question but You know, I'm not perfect none 00:14:30.899 --> 00:14:33.600 of us are but the treatment I've received from 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.720 some individuals that I've cared for a lot. It's 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:41.909 just insane and I used to say pretty regularly 00:14:41.909 --> 00:14:44.990 that friends are the family you choose. Well, 00:14:45.289 --> 00:14:49.070 perhaps now, a year and change later, perhaps 00:14:49.070 --> 00:14:52.009 I've chose poorly with a few. Maybe it's possible. 00:14:52.470 --> 00:14:58.490 I don't know. And so you kind of reach a point 00:14:58.490 --> 00:15:01.470 where you're like, am I just gonna continue repeating 00:15:01.470 --> 00:15:05.409 this process? Like going out making a new friend 00:15:05.409 --> 00:15:08.330 having some weird -ass shit happen and then it's 00:15:08.330 --> 00:15:10.250 like start over start over start over and you're 00:15:10.250 --> 00:15:13.470 just like I'm on this. I'm I don't even know 00:15:13.470 --> 00:15:14.850 if roller coasters, right? Maybe that's more 00:15:14.850 --> 00:15:16.769 like a merry -go -round, right? We're just going 00:15:16.769 --> 00:15:18.250 around around around you're like, oh my god. 00:15:18.250 --> 00:15:22.009 I got to get off this fucking ride, but You know, 00:15:22.009 --> 00:15:25.929 I've come to the conclusion lately that Maybe 00:15:25.929 --> 00:15:28.370 I should close myself off completely now. I did 00:15:28.370 --> 00:15:32.480 this shortly after my divorce It wasn't her fault 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:34.399 or my fault. It was probably one of the easier 00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:38.279 divorces in the history of divorce because We 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:42.240 still liked each other. It just didn't work Sure 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:45.799 anymore. Yeah, and and you know, we realized 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.460 that and we get on fine now and support each 00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:50.720 other and more importantly support our kids so 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:53.559 that's like a super important thing but But as 00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:55.539 it pertains to like friendships and stuff like 00:15:55.539 --> 00:15:57.320 this, it's just it makes you scratch your head 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.320 I thought too as this is I was thinking about 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.919 this getting ready for this show. There's a guy, 00:16:04.179 --> 00:16:05.460 Stone Cold Steve Austin. If you're a wrestling 00:16:05.460 --> 00:16:07.399 fan, you know exactly who I'm talking about. 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.340 Anytime you hear glass break, it's just you immediately 00:16:11.340 --> 00:16:16.159 expect like, yeah, for him to come down. Hell 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.879 yeah. You have to kind of do his whole thing. 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:20.740 But one of the things he always used to say is 00:16:20.740 --> 00:16:23.879 like, DTA, don't trust anyone. And you hate to 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.179 be that way. But after some things happen, you 00:16:27.179 --> 00:16:29.980 kind of you start sinking back into this mode. 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.940 where I was for a while, where you kind of close 00:16:33.940 --> 00:16:35.860 yourself off, right? You build the moat, you 00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:37.460 build the wall, and you're like, you know, we're 00:16:37.460 --> 00:16:40.059 just going to do this for a while, and we're 00:16:40.059 --> 00:16:42.820 just going to kind of be that non -player character 00:16:42.820 --> 00:16:46.639 that just kind of moves around, because if that's 00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:48.679 the way I'm going to be treated anyway, might 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.279 as well just operate that way. So I've kind of 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.360 checked out, hence the title of our lovely episode 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:59.529 today. I'm not going to give myself so easily 00:16:59.529 --> 00:17:03.409 anymore to people because I really do and And 00:17:03.409 --> 00:17:05.769 I'm not from a financial sense because that's 00:17:05.769 --> 00:17:07.710 kind of been part of this stupid crazy roller 00:17:07.710 --> 00:17:10.809 coaster too over the years but I'm talking more 00:17:10.809 --> 00:17:14.369 of like giving of yourself which has an immense 00:17:14.369 --> 00:17:19.710 value in my opinion and so Maybe maybe I just 00:17:19.710 --> 00:17:22.069 I bring this on myself and I just set myself 00:17:22.069 --> 00:17:25.250 up for letdown again and again and again and 00:17:25.250 --> 00:17:29.369 I'm starting to think maybe it might be a better 00:17:29.369 --> 00:17:32.509 idea to just I don't know be more of a self -serving 00:17:32.509 --> 00:17:35.230 dick for a while and I and it's funny because 00:17:35.230 --> 00:17:37.210 I always said this to my kids not when they were 00:17:37.210 --> 00:17:38.890 young of course when they were like older kids 00:17:38.890 --> 00:17:40.329 and could understand where I was coming from 00:17:40.329 --> 00:17:42.309 but I would threaten that sometimes where I was 00:17:42.309 --> 00:17:43.990 just like I'd have a rough week and my kids are 00:17:43.990 --> 00:17:47.009 like hey fuck you old man and you know me and 00:17:47.009 --> 00:17:50.410 the wife would say that in your head in your 00:17:50.410 --> 00:17:53.390 head oh sure that's how you receive yeah and 00:17:53.390 --> 00:17:55.769 so the assholedness of your children there you 00:17:55.769 --> 00:17:58.619 go And so, but I did it to mine. So it's just, 00:17:58.619 --> 00:18:00.039 it's part of being a kid and grown up. I get 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.400 that. And I don't harbor any of you for that. 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:05.859 But it's just, it's life. And so it's like one 00:18:05.859 --> 00:18:07.599 of those weeks, your kids are like, ah, fuck 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:09.940 off. And you're just like, you know, you and 00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:11.799 the wife might be not hitting it off and it works 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:14.779 a pain in the nuts. And you seriously, you just 00:18:14.779 --> 00:18:18.000 think like, I'm too fucking nice. I am just too 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:21.319 nice of a person. I'm done. I am done being that 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.380 dude. And so it's like being a self -serving 00:18:24.380 --> 00:18:27.640 dick is on the table. It is, the dick is on the 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:33.380 table. Sure. As it should be. That's grand. It 00:18:33.380 --> 00:18:37.119 really is. So I don't know, perhaps if I just 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:38.940 care more about me and not give a shit about 00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:42.839 the rest, maybe that's the way to go. But it's 00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.460 hard for me to say, by the way, because it's 00:18:47.460 --> 00:18:51.220 completely against my nature and who I am to 00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:53.890 operate that way. Like, I think it would be really 00:18:53.890 --> 00:18:56.789 disingenuous if all of a sudden I just became 00:18:56.789 --> 00:18:59.150 kind of quiet around people and I was just kind 00:18:59.150 --> 00:19:01.210 of like, meh, whatever. And I was just kind of 00:19:01.210 --> 00:19:04.289 like a dick or whatever. It would just be disingenuous 00:19:04.289 --> 00:19:07.809 because I'd be acting. Sure. I don't think I'm 00:19:07.809 --> 00:19:11.549 changing who I am because I think anything's 00:19:11.549 --> 00:19:13.849 habitual, right? So it's like, I would have to 00:19:13.849 --> 00:19:16.509 act and be that way for like a super long time 00:19:16.509 --> 00:19:20.440 to be like, oh, that's the new me. Sure. You 00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:23.059 know, I mean, because otherwise it's like, why 00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:25.500 would you, why would you do it unless you're 00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:27.339 like, okay, I'm committing to this. I'm committing 00:19:27.339 --> 00:19:30.160 to changing who I am. And I think during your 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.440 life, that probably happens to people one time 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.940 or another. They have an event or whatever that 00:19:34.940 --> 00:19:39.259 changes people. Geographical relocations on the 00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:41.339 table. I've been thinking about this. Well, I 00:19:41.339 --> 00:19:44.319 did it once for a year, but my kids were young 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:47.410 and being away from them sucked. I mean, wake 00:19:47.410 --> 00:19:50.089 up every morning and smash yourself on the face 00:19:50.089 --> 00:19:52.470 with a hammer. That was me for a year. And I 00:19:52.470 --> 00:19:55.150 lived in fricking paradise. I lived in paradise. 00:19:55.230 --> 00:19:57.430 I was 15 minutes away from the Gulf of Mexico. 00:19:58.170 --> 00:20:00.609 Like, every day after work is a vacation. And 00:20:00.609 --> 00:20:05.710 I was miserable every fricking day. So that geographical 00:20:05.710 --> 00:20:08.490 location is a poor example and did not work. 00:20:08.490 --> 00:20:11.829 Sure. However... I tested the waters. But I tested 00:20:11.829 --> 00:20:14.329 the waters. It's probably just bad timing on 00:20:14.329 --> 00:20:17.859 testing those waters. But, I think now it's on 00:20:17.859 --> 00:20:19.799 the table, because even though I have a job, 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:23.440 and it's a good job, they seem to like me, and 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:25.519 I'm doing a good job, so whatever, it's there. 00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:30.259 But I still think, why not? Why not throw resumes 00:20:30.259 --> 00:20:34.160 to places I might like to go, and if you throw 00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:37.160 that line out there and a fish bites, why not 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:40.500 think about it? What is stopping me? Yeah, it's 00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:44.859 a fair point. So, I really find it interesting. 00:20:45.049 --> 00:20:46.849 and this has been more of a monologue today. 00:20:47.049 --> 00:20:48.390 Aidan and I usually interact a little bit more 00:20:48.390 --> 00:20:52.329 but he's going to jump in now. Number one, have 00:20:52.329 --> 00:20:55.150 you ever felt this way? Like there's a period 00:20:55.150 --> 00:20:57.490 in time where like things aren't going great 00:20:57.490 --> 00:21:00.490 at work or personal life things just like a bunch 00:21:00.490 --> 00:21:03.750 of stuff are coming up and you're like f it and 00:21:03.750 --> 00:21:06.130 you just maybe think because I know there's there's 00:21:06.130 --> 00:21:09.470 a lot of ways in which you and I are alike. And 00:21:09.470 --> 00:21:11.230 I think that kind of wearing our heart on our 00:21:11.230 --> 00:21:13.329 sleeves, big heart kind of like, I think you 00:21:13.329 --> 00:21:15.849 got that. So I apologize for that. None taken. 00:21:16.970 --> 00:21:20.210 But like, have you ever felt that way? And when 00:21:20.210 --> 00:21:23.130 you feel that way, do you brush it off? Do you 00:21:23.130 --> 00:21:24.529 be like, oh, it's a bad day. It's a bad week, 00:21:24.690 --> 00:21:26.509 whatever. Things will rebound. Things will come 00:21:26.509 --> 00:21:28.609 around. Or do you be like, man, I got to make 00:21:28.609 --> 00:21:30.990 some changes. I got to do that. Like what what 00:21:30.990 --> 00:21:33.109 occurred? What goes on for you in that sort of 00:21:33.109 --> 00:21:37.210 a situation? I. Well, to answer the first question, 00:21:37.329 --> 00:21:39.630 have I ever felt that way, I would say yes. I 00:21:39.630 --> 00:21:45.309 think after my previous relationship, which was 00:21:45.309 --> 00:21:51.710 god -awful, I mean, I was mentally and emotionally 00:21:51.710 --> 00:21:55.930 manipulated for a year and change, and that was 00:21:55.930 --> 00:22:00.710 just a terrible time. And I know that negatively 00:22:00.710 --> 00:22:04.220 affected... my family members, my sisters, my 00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:07.900 mom, you, I mean, that was just a really terrible 00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:10.799 time. And I think after that, I definitely had 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:15.420 a phase, kind of how you were mentioning of just 00:22:15.420 --> 00:22:18.980 like, eh, no more Mr. Nice Guy, like I'm done, 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:23.539 like I have to not allow myself to be manipulated 00:22:23.539 --> 00:22:27.519 like that. And I naively thought that the best 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:30.859 way to do that is just to not, to not really... 00:22:30.809 --> 00:22:35.890 put myself out there as much but that kind of 00:22:35.890 --> 00:22:42.089 changed because shortly after that I met my girlfriend 00:22:42.089 --> 00:22:46.609 or no we had known each other but we we shortly 00:22:46.609 --> 00:22:49.490 a couple months after I broke up with my ex we'd 00:22:49.490 --> 00:22:51.750 started dating and that's kind of when I realized 00:22:51.750 --> 00:22:54.750 like yeah that the whole closing myself off thing 00:22:54.750 --> 00:22:57.049 wasn't really panning out it wouldn't have gotten 00:22:57.049 --> 00:23:02.369 me anywhere yeah So that that a couple month 00:23:02.369 --> 00:23:05.569 period maybe closer to a half year that was probably 00:23:05.569 --> 00:23:10.369 the closest I've been to to where your You've 00:23:10.369 --> 00:23:14.630 mentioned you're at of just like I'm not I'm 00:23:14.630 --> 00:23:16.410 not gonna be that guy again I'm not gonna allow 00:23:16.410 --> 00:23:20.309 this to to happen to myself for my own well -being 00:23:20.309 --> 00:23:24.710 as well as those around me, but it's it's That's 00:23:24.710 --> 00:23:27.470 too simple. That's too simplistic that doesn't 00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:32.519 pan out in my opinion and experience because 00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:36.720 I feel whenever I get in a mood like that where 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:39.299 I'm feeling very negative and negative things 00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:44.160 are happening around me I find myself going back 00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:46.380 to that same mode of like closing myself off 00:23:46.380 --> 00:23:50.940 just not talking as much to to anyone around 00:23:50.940 --> 00:23:55.619 me and it's it's just not helpful to do that 00:23:55.789 --> 00:23:58.349 Right, you know, it's not helpful to do that 00:23:58.349 --> 00:24:01.710 because The only people you hurting are those 00:24:01.710 --> 00:24:04.430 who are around you which are most commonly your 00:24:04.430 --> 00:24:07.329 loved ones the people you care about and that's 00:24:07.329 --> 00:24:11.609 that's not you You can't call that like being 00:24:11.609 --> 00:24:13.750 a self -serving dick because you're not serving 00:24:13.750 --> 00:24:15.430 yourself and you're clearly not serving those 00:24:15.430 --> 00:24:19.170 around you it's more so a coping mechanism I 00:24:19.170 --> 00:24:22.509 found that just simply doesn't pan out because 00:24:23.150 --> 00:24:27.390 I found when I get in real negative moods, especially 00:24:27.390 --> 00:24:32.009 ones that last a while, it's a coping mechanism 00:24:32.009 --> 00:24:35.890 in the fact that I don't want to... I don't want 00:24:35.890 --> 00:24:39.349 to explode on someone, right? I don't want to 00:24:39.349 --> 00:24:42.589 unjustly take my anger out on someone that doesn't 00:24:42.589 --> 00:24:45.400 deserve it or... perhaps doesn't even know I'm 00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:47.920 upset with them because I simply haven't communicated 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:51.059 that fact. And that's my own wrongdoing, right? 00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:54.420 Is not communicating well enough. So coming to 00:24:54.420 --> 00:24:59.819 that realization and realizing that your actions 00:24:59.819 --> 00:25:04.339 are 100 % under your control, what happens around 00:25:04.339 --> 00:25:08.539 you isn't. It's important to realize that. So... 00:25:08.569 --> 00:25:11.410 That's kind of how I deal with it is like I have 00:25:11.410 --> 00:25:15.970 to compartmentalize the happenings that I do 00:25:15.970 --> 00:25:21.250 not control versus my reactions and coping mechanisms 00:25:21.250 --> 00:25:25.190 that I 100 % control and find a healthy balance 00:25:25.190 --> 00:25:29.410 on how to deal with it. Like what to compartmentalize 00:25:29.410 --> 00:25:32.150 and safer later versus what to communicate now. 00:25:32.349 --> 00:25:35.349 without reaching a point of emotional break where 00:25:35.349 --> 00:25:38.450 you may say something that you will later regret. 00:25:38.950 --> 00:25:42.589 So I absolutely know where you're coming from, 00:25:43.049 --> 00:25:48.710 but I think, I feel as if I've reached a point 00:25:48.710 --> 00:25:52.650 where I can determine when I am and am not okay 00:25:52.650 --> 00:25:55.970 and how to deal with it in those certain situations. 00:25:55.990 --> 00:25:59.210 And I'm not great at it, but I at least have 00:25:59.210 --> 00:26:01.779 the knowledge to know like, okay, I... I've been 00:26:01.779 --> 00:26:03.980 laying low for too long. I got it. I have to 00:26:03.980 --> 00:26:07.279 not do this not cocoon myself Sure, because that's 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:10.940 that's not going to be good for me So it's it's 00:26:10.940 --> 00:26:13.299 finding a healthy middle and like most things 00:26:13.299 --> 00:26:15.900 in life, you know, blah blah blah moderation 00:26:15.900 --> 00:26:19.279 You just have to find that healthy middle. Yeah. 00:26:19.619 --> 00:26:24.680 Yeah, that's wow that was really good and and 00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:28.240 a very sincere answer and I appreciate that and 00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:31.180 then I was going to kind of follow that up with, 00:26:31.700 --> 00:26:34.839 so you have these moments, things are sideways, 00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:37.500 they're not going great for one reason or another. 00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:41.319 Do you feel young people, younger generation, 00:26:41.500 --> 00:26:44.859 let's just Gen Zers or whatever. Sure. Millennials 00:26:44.859 --> 00:26:49.420 versus, you know, Gen Xers. Do you feel that 00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:55.420 when situations come up today, that you guys 00:26:55.420 --> 00:26:59.660 handle them better? than older people handle 00:26:59.660 --> 00:27:05.160 them? Or do you think that age maybe isn't as 00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:08.200 much of a factor that maybe it's just more circumstantial? 00:27:08.220 --> 00:27:10.759 It just depends on the circumstance. I 100 % 00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:14.460 think it's circumstantial. And I know there are 00:27:14.460 --> 00:27:19.660 legitimately historical medical issues with certain 00:27:19.660 --> 00:27:25.089 generations like Gen X and Boomers. have, literally 00:27:25.089 --> 00:27:30.690 have more lead in their bodies than is, you know, 00:27:30.789 --> 00:27:33.869 healthy. And lead can cause things like emotional 00:27:33.869 --> 00:27:36.170 instability, fits of rage, things like that, 00:27:36.170 --> 00:27:41.589 because it just does that. So I don't want to 00:27:41.589 --> 00:27:46.269 put that on boomers or Gen X of like, oh, as 00:27:46.269 --> 00:27:49.670 an excuse, you know, I have higher lead content, 00:27:49.710 --> 00:27:51.569 so I'm going to be more emotional. I think that's 00:27:51.569 --> 00:27:55.200 not fair. to do, but it is important to recognize 00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:58.319 that. We ate everything out of a Teflon pan. 00:27:58.579 --> 00:28:01.180 Right, right. So we have all sorts of shit. Yeah. 00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:04.740 So, you know, Gen X and Boomers definitely have 00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:07.740 more lead. And of course, Gen Z and Gen A are 00:28:07.740 --> 00:28:09.599 going to have more microplastics in their bodies. 00:28:09.660 --> 00:28:12.180 We have no idea how that affects people just 00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:15.440 yet, because it's so such a new discovery. But 00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:18.980 that can play a role. That can play a role, because 00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:22.410 I've seen graphs where you can see like the quantity 00:28:22.410 --> 00:28:26.670 of lead tested in the air closely resembles the 00:28:26.670 --> 00:28:31.789 quantity of violence in schools. I know correlation 00:28:31.789 --> 00:28:35.789 versus causation, but the graphs are so eerily 00:28:35.789 --> 00:28:40.089 similar. The peaks happen at identical times. 00:28:40.170 --> 00:28:45.250 The fall off happens at identical times. It's 00:28:45.250 --> 00:28:51.269 too accurate to simply be correlation. So there 00:28:51.269 --> 00:28:53.410 is that point, and I think that's important to 00:28:53.410 --> 00:28:58.849 make, but every individual treats wrongdoing 00:28:58.849 --> 00:29:02.390 and stress and depression and anxiety differently. 00:29:02.609 --> 00:29:05.549 Everyone has their own different coping mechanisms 00:29:05.549 --> 00:29:10.230 or outlets, if you will. So I don't think it's 00:29:10.230 --> 00:29:13.950 an age thing. No. I really don't. I think... 00:29:13.930 --> 00:29:16.990 Coping mechanisms are different. Yeah, I'll give 00:29:16.990 --> 00:29:19.150 I'll give you that for sure that that is definitely 00:29:19.150 --> 00:29:21.950 coping mechanisms are different by age because 00:29:21.950 --> 00:29:26.130 One of our generations grew up mostly online, 00:29:26.130 --> 00:29:29.069 you know I remember having access to YouTube 00:29:29.069 --> 00:29:32.250 from the time I was like 10 onward, right? Yeah, 00:29:32.269 --> 00:29:36.809 so Social media does play a part in terms of 00:29:36.809 --> 00:29:39.890 coping mechanisms and in terms of stress being 00:29:39.890 --> 00:29:43.720 stressed from social media but I don't think 00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:47.960 it's strict enough to say an age purely pays 00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:52.160 a part, you know? And then there's another part, 00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:56.160 like a part B of this too, whereas when you think 00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.920 about your age and going through things like 00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:02.539 this, so it's some difficult friendships or relationship 00:30:02.539 --> 00:30:05.059 or just things got you down, family, home, whatever, 00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:10.519 and you're younger, I feel like... minimum you 00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:13.200 have a peer group like you have a group of people 00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:16.420 your own age you're all dealing whether it's 00:30:16.420 --> 00:30:19.059 environmental it's home whatever it is you're 00:30:19.059 --> 00:30:22.059 all kind of dealing with the same shit so when 00:30:22.059 --> 00:30:25.319 you're dealing with it you feel like you have 00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:27.279 two or three or four or five or ten people you 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:29.019 can be like oh man blah blah and everybody's 00:30:29.019 --> 00:30:31.619 gonna be like oh my god I totally like and they 00:30:31.619 --> 00:30:33.680 can relate to you and those sorts of things right 00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:36.619 where is like where I kind of go back to maybe 00:30:36.619 --> 00:30:38.599 a little bit of this age thing where is like 00:30:38.750 --> 00:30:41.849 I'm a Gen Xer. So Gen Xers were the first latchkey 00:30:41.849 --> 00:30:45.769 kids, really. You know, we grew up fast. And 00:30:45.769 --> 00:30:49.910 we kind of had to. And that's okay. But we're 00:30:49.910 --> 00:30:52.289 also kind of that rub dirt on it generation, 00:30:53.009 --> 00:30:56.549 where it's just kind of like, oh, oh, well, whatever. 00:30:56.710 --> 00:30:57.970 And you move forward, you move forward, you move 00:30:57.970 --> 00:31:01.470 forward. So self -care just wasn't a priority. 00:31:01.529 --> 00:31:04.940 Sure. For us. You know, so I think now that you 00:31:04.940 --> 00:31:08.660 grow up and you encounter some things and you 00:31:08.660 --> 00:31:10.839 feel like if you're unloading on a friend or 00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:12.920 you're like, oh man, I'm dealing with A, B, C 00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:14.940 and D, you feel like shit because you're like, 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:16.779 man, just unloaded all this stuff on this person. 00:31:16.779 --> 00:31:18.539 They were probably having a fine day. Now they're 00:31:18.539 --> 00:31:20.240 probably not having a fine day because of me. 00:31:20.259 --> 00:31:22.119 Right. And so then you're like, maybe I should 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:23.619 just shut up and deal with this stuff on my own. 00:31:23.779 --> 00:31:27.019 So I feel like once again, from the age thing, 00:31:27.740 --> 00:31:31.200 that maybe that part of it is a little bit different. 00:31:32.299 --> 00:31:36.720 Sure, I can believe that and I know that as far 00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:39.259 as the I don't want to speak for Gen Z as a whole 00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:41.380 and I know I've brought up generations as a whole 00:31:41.380 --> 00:31:43.740 and I don't necessarily mean to group everyone 00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:46.720 into that by generalizing. That's not very fair. 00:31:46.819 --> 00:31:51.599 But from the Gen Z -ers I know, my colleagues, 00:31:51.940 --> 00:31:55.279 girlfriend, sisters, friends, friends of friends, 00:31:55.599 --> 00:32:01.000 etc. That type of communication of venting is 00:32:01.859 --> 00:32:05.359 Pretty common. Fairly common. I mean, you ask, 00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:07.839 like, how's your day going? You'll probably get 00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:11.160 a fairly sincere answer. Sure. Unless it's a 00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:13.779 colleague or an acquaintance, then you'll probably 00:32:13.779 --> 00:32:17.160 get the traditional, ah, fine, how are you? But 00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:19.759 I mean, you ask a question like that to one of 00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.440 the homies, you're going to get a pretty sincere 00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:23.880 answer, you know? Right. You're like, oh, you 00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:25.880 know, things have not been going great x, y, 00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:29.329 and z. And I just... Of course, I don't want 00:32:29.329 --> 00:32:32.630 to bring up the generational thing, but to piggyback 00:32:32.630 --> 00:32:35.269 off of what you were saying, that is a difference 00:32:35.269 --> 00:32:38.950 of what you've experienced versus what I have, 00:32:39.089 --> 00:32:41.309 where if something's bothering you, you got to 00:32:41.309 --> 00:32:44.970 unload, you can just do that. You can typically 00:32:44.970 --> 00:32:50.789 assume your friend or homie, whoever else, girlfriend, 00:32:50.869 --> 00:32:54.470 partner, they'll hear you out, they might vent 00:32:54.470 --> 00:32:56.809 back, they might be empathetic, they might just 00:32:56.809 --> 00:32:59.700 hear you out and leave it at that. But that type 00:32:59.700 --> 00:33:02.799 of, I guess it is coping in a way of venting 00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:07.000 it, getting off your chest. It's more acceptable, 00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:10.359 socially acceptable, you might say. So that definitely 00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:13.460 could be an age difference, generational gap 00:33:13.460 --> 00:33:16.420 difference. For sure. Yeah, that's just kind 00:33:16.420 --> 00:33:18.900 of one thing that I noticed and had really given 00:33:18.900 --> 00:33:21.460 some thought to, is that there's just certain 00:33:21.460 --> 00:33:23.539 styles of communication within your peer group, 00:33:23.619 --> 00:33:25.539 within your age group, that are just different 00:33:25.539 --> 00:33:29.529 than ours. And the fact that... That you guys 00:33:29.529 --> 00:33:33.650 are much closer in age in time Sure to you're 00:33:33.650 --> 00:33:36.089 growing up and you're developing then then I 00:33:36.089 --> 00:33:38.849 certainly am but that's kind of why I kind of 00:33:38.849 --> 00:33:41.190 brought up the whole situation of like how we 00:33:41.190 --> 00:33:42.950 were brought up and how we lived when we were 00:33:42.950 --> 00:33:45.910 younger and how that kind of applies to being 00:33:45.910 --> 00:33:48.049 older and having these things come up in your 00:33:48.049 --> 00:33:52.190 life where We can't I don't think we can necessarily 00:33:52.190 --> 00:33:54.009 always communicate with our peer group the same 00:33:54.009 --> 00:33:58.069 way you guys can sure and that's just age, that's 00:33:58.069 --> 00:33:59.789 just like, you're sitting there and you got a 00:33:59.789 --> 00:34:01.609 friend, it's like, oh man, I really value this 00:34:01.609 --> 00:34:03.849 friend and I value their opinion and I'm going 00:34:03.849 --> 00:34:06.950 through something. And then you think, they got 00:34:06.950 --> 00:34:09.250 three kids and then one girl's gotta play tonight. 00:34:09.670 --> 00:34:12.050 So then that sort of thing goes to your head 00:34:12.050 --> 00:34:13.570 and then you're like, nah, I'm not gonna load 00:34:13.570 --> 00:34:15.989 on them, but it's still in you. It's still in 00:34:15.989 --> 00:34:17.829 you and you're still trying to process shit. 00:34:18.730 --> 00:34:22.610 So it's definitely a challenge. Which is why, 00:34:23.090 --> 00:34:26.769 rolling back, you know, maybe, Being that self 00:34:26.769 --> 00:34:29.610 -serving asshole and just closing yourself off 00:34:29.610 --> 00:34:33.389 is just something that you prevent the pain and 00:34:33.389 --> 00:34:36.489 the hurt from everyday bullshit and you just 00:34:36.489 --> 00:34:40.269 kind of move through life as that that NPC and 00:34:40.269 --> 00:34:43.750 and maybe that's just Maybe that's the way to 00:34:43.750 --> 00:34:46.210 I don't know. Yeah, you just search for answers 00:34:46.210 --> 00:34:48.849 with all this sure that is true You don't want 00:34:48.849 --> 00:34:53.340 to be a hermit though No, not necessarily Although 00:34:53.340 --> 00:34:56.139 that lifestyle does seem fun. Cabin in the middle 00:34:56.139 --> 00:34:58.639 of nowhere. Just be like, oh, what am I going 00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:01.619 to do today? Chop down a tree, make some logs, 00:35:02.179 --> 00:35:05.019 go fishing. That's it. Fuck, dude. OK. Count 00:35:05.019 --> 00:35:07.460 me in. That's it exactly. And I mean, there's 00:35:07.460 --> 00:35:10.199 enough remote jobs today where it's like, OK, 00:35:10.260 --> 00:35:13.219 all I need to know is I can be someplace with 00:35:13.219 --> 00:35:15.119 an internet connection. Right. And then once 00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:18.420 I know that and I can work from whatever location, 00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:22.320 Why do I give a shit man right I mean right just 00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:26.139 go and do my own frickin thing buy a dog Yeah, 00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:28.639 and just sit there. Maybe be like get a fishing 00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:31.639 pole You know that's something that's quiet and 00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:33.460 you know fish isn't gonna piss me off, right? 00:35:33.900 --> 00:35:35.739 Well, they might they might jump off the hook 00:35:35.739 --> 00:35:38.440 But you know you little shit little shit, but 00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:40.619 I like if that's your bad day, right? I'll take 00:35:40.619 --> 00:35:42.920 a thousand of those great bad day. That's a great 00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:47.380 bad day But at any rate, I mean that's this is 00:35:47.380 --> 00:35:50.090 a really great conversation, maybe one that we 00:35:50.090 --> 00:35:53.449 pick up again later on. But I think, I think 00:35:53.449 --> 00:35:55.110 this just speaks to a lot of people and a lot 00:35:55.110 --> 00:35:57.489 of things that we go through. And, you know, 00:35:57.550 --> 00:35:59.570 maybe there's a lot of situations where even, 00:35:59.650 --> 00:36:02.650 you know, and this is much grander, where situations 00:36:02.650 --> 00:36:05.929 where like violence ends up occurring, not that, 00:36:05.969 --> 00:36:08.150 you know, it's going to happen with me or what 00:36:08.150 --> 00:36:10.769 happened with you, but where if things just continue 00:36:10.769 --> 00:36:13.989 to build up for some people. That's why there's 00:36:13.989 --> 00:36:15.690 domestic violence. That's why someone brings 00:36:15.690 --> 00:36:17.550 a gun and shoots people and other things like 00:36:17.550 --> 00:36:20.230 that happen. Because maybe it's just time goes 00:36:20.230 --> 00:36:22.329 on and on and on and stuff just building up in 00:36:22.329 --> 00:36:25.170 these people. And they just don't, maybe they 00:36:25.170 --> 00:36:27.550 find they don't have that outlet. Right. And 00:36:27.550 --> 00:36:31.289 mental health care is a huge issue in the United 00:36:31.289 --> 00:36:33.849 States. Because we don't spend any money on it. 00:36:33.849 --> 00:36:35.769 And the government doesn't give a shit. Yeah. 00:36:35.869 --> 00:36:38.710 Mental health care is a huge issue. Gun ownership. 00:36:38.969 --> 00:36:41.650 Mixed with mental health care is a real lack 00:36:41.650 --> 00:36:44.829 of mental health care is a real issue So it is 00:36:44.829 --> 00:36:48.170 a problem and and having a good peer group is 00:36:48.170 --> 00:36:51.909 not a privilege that everyone gets to have Correct, 00:36:51.989 --> 00:36:54.289 you know so that that also plays into it. And 00:36:54.289 --> 00:36:58.150 of course you simply have mental disorders psychopathy 00:36:58.150 --> 00:37:03.030 sociopathy that That just happens and it's unfortunate 00:37:03.030 --> 00:37:05.989 and you just hope that there are people around 00:37:05.989 --> 00:37:07.670 you that catch it early enough that you can get 00:37:07.670 --> 00:37:10.139 treatment and that That doesn't happen all the 00:37:10.139 --> 00:37:13.639 time, which is why we get these these devastating 00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:16.599 these devastating news stories, especially in 00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:20.739 the US it happens every fucking day, but yeah, 00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:24.659 I would just Not that I'm a guy you want to take 00:37:24.659 --> 00:37:28.420 advice from but if if you need to hear it Go 00:37:28.420 --> 00:37:30.480 out and seek help.

Well, not a fed Speeding 00:42:25.130 --> 00:42:28.610 I would say sure speed it within reason, you 00:42:28.610 --> 00:42:31.329 know in in the US anyone that does kilometers 00:42:31.329 --> 00:42:33.650 per hour They're gonna feel a little different 00:42:33.650 --> 00:42:36.210 about this, but usually in the US you can get 00:42:36.210 --> 00:42:39.230 away with about seven over the speed limit typically 00:42:39.230 --> 00:42:46.329 and my job, my career, allows me, it's still 00:42:46.329 --> 00:42:49.269 illegal, but they allow me, without docking points, 00:42:49.710 --> 00:42:54.030 to go nine over. So I always go nine over. Like, 00:42:54.070 --> 00:42:56.769 you're not gonna dock me, and typically cops 00:42:56.769 --> 00:42:58.789 don't fuck with us because we're local delivery. 00:42:59.409 --> 00:43:02.590 So I go nine over, I don't full stop at stop 00:43:02.590 --> 00:43:07.269 signs. Oh, what else is there? That's kind of 00:43:07.269 --> 00:43:10.079 it. The only other thing - Usually just traffic 00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:12.559 violations. Not full stopping, going over the 00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:16.599 speed limit. That's kind of my illegality. Yeah. 00:43:17.019 --> 00:43:19.760 Hypothetically, that I might do. In a hypothetical 00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:22.739 world. In a hypothetical world. Sure. I would 00:43:22.739 --> 00:43:28.480 say, in the past, nudge nudge wink wink, I might 00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:31.420 have partaken in some herbal supplements. Oh 00:43:31.420 --> 00:43:35.260 sure, oh yeah. And we happen to be in a very... 00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:39.280 Non -friendly herbal state where is all the other 00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:42.079 states around us are it's still called the devil's 00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:46.239 lettuce here. Yes Yeah, so in the past that was 00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:49.400 not you're not drinking Hypothetically if I were 00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:53.860 to do that that we you us we would partake hypothetically 00:43:53.860 --> 00:43:59.739 partook in that would Definitely be one You know 00:43:59.739 --> 00:44:02.059 did did I punch a guy in the face for abusing 00:44:02.059 --> 00:44:04.869 his girlfriend that was within the law? The law 00:44:04.869 --> 00:44:07.750 let me go. So I figured I was that was within 00:44:07.750 --> 00:44:10.530 the law. I was clean. So that was self -defense 00:44:10.530 --> 00:44:13.190 That's that's legal. He did take the first one. 00:44:13.289 --> 00:44:15.329 Yep, to be fair.

Oh yeah. Like a big tree on the ground. 00:45:49.940 --> 00:45:51.619 My wrist still hurts today. This happened last 00:45:51.619 --> 00:45:53.820 summer. Yeah. And my wrist still hurts. I'm sure 00:45:53.820 --> 00:45:56.579 I broke bones in it. I think we covered that 00:45:56.579 --> 00:46:00.300 story on an AK -219 After Dark. I think we may 00:46:00.300 --> 00:46:03.239 have. I think we did. That was, that was, that 00:46:03.239 --> 00:46:05.199 was a story. That was shortly after that happened. 00:46:05.260 --> 00:46:07.000 That was like the next day or something. I think 00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:12.000 it was. Yeah. I think it was. Yeah, so bad. Yeah, 00:46:12.019 --> 00:46:17.260 your wrist was rough.

No, that's illegal. That's 00:46:27.780 --> 00:46:30.500 legal. It's legal. You take a swing of me. Damn 00:46:30.500 --> 00:46:34.119 right. Fair game. Fair game. Final question I 00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:38.960 received today. Twilightfan1000 asks would you 00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:44.480 take one million United States dollars but every 00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:49.159 full moon you turn into a genuine werewolf. That's 00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:52.039 tough. That's tough because becoming a millionaire 00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:57.320 would ease about damn near every problem I have. 00:46:57.320 --> 00:47:00.460 Same. In life. But then you're talking every 00:47:00.460 --> 00:47:07.039 28 days I turn into a murderous forgetful animal. 00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:11.119 Right? That's, uh, that's something that would 00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:14.260 take a while to learn to cope with or contain. 00:47:14.940 --> 00:47:17.320 You know, you'd really have to, like, Hollywood 00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:19.960 movie style, like, hey, it's, you know, full 00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:22.000 moon tonight, honey, you're gonna have to chain 00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:27.199 me down and lock me away. But, I mean, a little 00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:30.679 bit of suffering once every 28 days to become 00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:35.079 a millionaire? I might be into it. I might be 00:47:35.079 --> 00:47:39.460 into it. Count me down as a likely. As a likely? 00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:44.059 As a likely. I would not hesitate. Oh, you'd 00:47:44.059 --> 00:47:48.820 be in? As long... You could always move to the 00:47:48.820 --> 00:47:52.119 Wyoming wilderness. In the wilderness, and when 00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:55.420 I turn into it, I eat a bear or a deer or something 00:47:55.420 --> 00:47:58.619 like that. A couple badgers. A couple badgers. 00:47:58.699 --> 00:48:01.340 I don't know. Squirrel. Whatever. I mean, I'll 00:48:01.340 --> 00:48:04.460 eat it. I'll tear it up. But then part of me 00:48:04.460 --> 00:48:09.530 thinks... I don't know. I mean, when you turn 00:48:09.530 --> 00:48:12.869 into the werewolf, how much of your cognitive 00:48:12.869 --> 00:48:15.429 ability remains in your head when you're doing 00:48:15.429 --> 00:48:18.750 this? Because if you can, and you think about 00:48:18.750 --> 00:48:20.369 all the people that did you wrong, or people 00:48:20.369 --> 00:48:22.869 that are jerks, or people that are that, well, 00:48:23.929 --> 00:48:26.190 now I got target. I got an outlet for my werewolf 00:48:26.190 --> 00:48:30.949 -ness. Sure. Does your cognitive brain and resentment 00:48:30.949 --> 00:48:35.480 towards people mix with the animalistic instincts 00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:39.219 and power. True. Or do they not communicate at 00:48:39.219 --> 00:48:41.920 all? Yeah, because you could just sit there and 00:48:41.920 --> 00:48:43.500 take out all your enemies, all the people that 00:48:43.500 --> 00:48:46.199 have done you wrong, take them out, because at 00:48:46.199 --> 00:48:47.699 some point you're not going to be the werewolf, 00:48:47.780 --> 00:48:49.239 you're going to turn back into yourself and then 00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:51.219 like you see a cop and just shrug his shoulders 00:48:51.219 --> 00:48:54.860 and be like, yeah, I don't know. Wasn't me. Wasn't 00:48:54.860 --> 00:48:58.539 me. I was home chained up in a bedroom. Looks 00:48:58.539 --> 00:49:01.199 like a dog attack maybe. I don't know. That's 00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:03.619 right. He has wild animals. Getting bad around 00:49:03.619 --> 00:49:06.280 here. They're terrible around here. Yeah. Valparaiso, 00:49:06.360 --> 00:49:10.760 these deer. Yeah, check me out as a yes. Oh, 00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:13.519 yeah, I'm in. I'm in. You go out. Yeah, yeah, 00:49:13.519 --> 00:49:15.539 this is the last DM I got. The last DM? Yep. 00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:19.699 All right, I'm going to read mine. This is from 00:49:19.699 --> 00:49:24.320 at Gum -Boggery. Gum what? Oh, no, Gumbo -Garry. 00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:29.420 Gumbo -Garry. It's for my boy Gumbo -Garry. Gumbo 00:49:29.420 --> 00:49:32.480 -Garry. And Gumbo Gary says, my guys, do you 00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:34.059 like New Orleans cuisine? What's your favorite? 00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:38.039 I love New Orleans cuisine. I am a Gumbo fan 00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:43.679 myself. I'm not a huge seafood man. But if someone 00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:46.960 says there's a seafood boil, I might give you 00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:49.960 a shot, you know? Oh, yeah. I've been open to 00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:52.000 more. In fact, my... Have you ever tried crawfish? 00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:55.900 I don't know. I don't believe so. OK. No, I might. 00:49:56.880 --> 00:50:01.619 My mindset is I'll try just about anything once 00:50:01.619 --> 00:50:04.000 Mm -hmm, and I think that's fair to do because 00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:05.780 how do you know you dislike something if you 00:50:05.780 --> 00:50:07.760 haven't tried it yet? So I'll try just about 00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:11.820 anything once and that mindset is how I found 00:50:11.820 --> 00:50:15.179 out I love sushi Because at first I'm like raw 00:50:15.179 --> 00:50:18.639 fish. What the fuck who does? I tried it. I'm 00:50:18.639 --> 00:50:22.139 like, oh my god. I love this. Yeah, so I'll try 00:50:22.139 --> 00:50:24.739 just about anything once sign me up for a seafood 00:50:24.739 --> 00:50:28.860 boil I'll give it a shot. I love gumbo. I'm not 00:50:28.860 --> 00:50:31.420 a big soup guy, but gumbo is not necessarily 00:50:31.420 --> 00:50:35.420 a soup. More of stew, stewish. Yeah, stewish, 00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:39.059 for sure. So I love that. And then... Red beans 00:50:39.059 --> 00:50:41.579 and rice, dude. I will tear up some red beans 00:50:41.579 --> 00:50:47.539 and rice. Dude, Cajun seasoning is a godsend 00:50:47.539 --> 00:50:52.219 in the United States of America. I mean, it's 00:50:52.219 --> 00:50:57.530 not a... a super complex flavor profile but it's 00:50:57.530 --> 00:51:01.110 got the spice damn near sweetness if you will 00:51:01.110 --> 00:51:04.269 yeah the spice it's a oh man you put that on 00:51:04.269 --> 00:51:07.550 fries anything fried with cajun seasoning yep 00:51:07.550 --> 00:51:10.849 is a yes from me i agree i i definitely agree 00:51:10.849 --> 00:51:14.320 uh Po boys are good. I love it. So true whether 00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:16.340 you eat it with fried shrimp or you have chicken 00:51:16.340 --> 00:51:19.260 whatever the the po boys are money phenomenal 00:51:19.260 --> 00:51:23.900 beignets basically just big powdered donut fantastic 00:51:23.900 --> 00:51:27.699 It's got a fun French name, but it does beignet. 00:51:27.699 --> 00:51:30.000 It really did and it sounds like that thing You 00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:32.539 said on that is squirts water up your ass. Oh, 00:51:32.539 --> 00:51:37.429 yeah the beignet the yeah the beignet Is it a 00:51:37.429 --> 00:51:39.150 powdered donut? Does it squirt water up your 00:51:39.150 --> 00:51:40.630 ass? I don't know. I think the English call it 00:51:40.630 --> 00:51:43.409 a bidet. A bidet, but whatever. Yeah, whatever. 00:51:43.949 --> 00:51:47.050 It's close. It's close. Same diff. One of them 00:51:47.050 --> 00:51:52.070 I sit on and the other one is a bidet, so. Good 00:51:52.070 --> 00:51:55.349 point. My man. My man. I like the way you roll. 00:51:56.230 --> 00:52:00.489 At pterodactyl, if I offered you a million dollars 00:52:00.489 --> 00:52:03.190 to complete a maze filled with hungry, angry 00:52:03.190 --> 00:52:06.630 dogs, snakes and spiders, would you do it? Hundred 00:52:06.630 --> 00:52:09.730 mil how long is the final one million? Oh one 00:52:09.730 --> 00:52:11.570 mil one million dollars to do a maze you got 00:52:11.570 --> 00:52:14.269 to get to the end of the maze and Traverse the 00:52:14.269 --> 00:52:17.469 territory with anger dogs and snakes and spiders 00:52:17.469 --> 00:52:20.150 spiders I'm not worried about because unless 00:52:20.150 --> 00:52:23.110 it's Australia the spiders around here aren't 00:52:23.110 --> 00:52:26.460 necessarily deadly Snakes around here aren't 00:52:26.460 --> 00:52:28.480 necessarily deadly, you just get garden snakes 00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:31.400 and such. The hungry dogs is what I'm worried 00:52:31.400 --> 00:52:35.860 about, because dogs are vicious when wild and 00:52:35.860 --> 00:52:39.960 hungry. Feral, if you will. It depends how long 00:52:39.960 --> 00:52:45.019 the maze is, because I, in my current form, can't 00:52:45.019 --> 00:52:48.500 outrun probably half of the dog breeds that exist. 00:52:48.519 --> 00:52:50.800 Sure, oh yeah. You know, especially big dogs, 00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:55.550 I can't outrun. And if I'm in a maze, dude, they're 00:52:55.550 --> 00:52:57.690 hunting me down and I'm trying to make sure I 00:52:57.690 --> 00:53:01.230 don't hit a dead end. So the dead end will be 00:53:01.230 --> 00:53:04.230 a problem. The dead end to be a problem. And 00:53:04.230 --> 00:53:08.570 if I'm going in unarmed and it's a long maze, 00:53:08.969 --> 00:53:11.869 I would quicker perish than become a millionaire. 00:53:12.409 --> 00:53:16.210 I think my self -preservation is telling me I'll 00:53:16.210 --> 00:53:20.909 pass. Yeah. Yeah. Fair question, but I think 00:53:20.909 --> 00:53:23.409 I'll pass. I'm tempted, once again. It's almost 00:53:23.409 --> 00:53:26.030 Squid Games -esque, right? It is. Yeah. That 00:53:26.030 --> 00:53:29.809 is a challenging question. And once again, the 00:53:29.809 --> 00:53:31.449 spiders and snakes, just like you, I think I 00:53:31.449 --> 00:53:33.349 could do it. However, it depends on the snake. 00:53:33.730 --> 00:53:36.110 If you're talking, there's cobras in there. There's 00:53:36.110 --> 00:53:39.590 boa constrictors. Sure. That is a... Yeah, I 00:53:39.590 --> 00:53:41.309 went regional. I don't want any part of a nope 00:53:41.309 --> 00:53:44.449 rope. I don't want any part of those whatsoever. 00:53:44.510 --> 00:53:47.130 Especially like black widows or redbacks? If 00:53:47.130 --> 00:53:49.989 they could just climb up your boot, into your 00:53:49.989 --> 00:53:52.510 leg, be a little tiny bite, oh you're dead. Little 00:53:52.510 --> 00:53:54.469 recluse and you're just like, you check out, 00:53:54.550 --> 00:53:57.050 you're done. Yeah, you're cooked. And once again, 00:53:57.150 --> 00:53:59.409 the dogs is like the reverse. It's like, if it's 00:53:59.409 --> 00:54:02.969 a pit bull, holy hell. If it's a chihuahua, I'm 00:54:02.969 --> 00:54:05.670 punting it. Yeah, but by yip yip yip yip yip. 00:54:05.809 --> 00:54:07.650 But once again, I love dogs, so I'd do it and 00:54:07.650 --> 00:54:10.510 I'd feel terrible. Yeah, exactly. But it's either 00:54:10.510 --> 00:54:14.030 my ankles or your life, so. So maybe, maybe it's 00:54:14.030 --> 00:54:17.570 a no. I'm leaning no heavy. I'm leaning no, because 00:54:17.570 --> 00:54:20.469 I have a hard enough time with mazes as it is. 00:54:20.650 --> 00:54:22.670 Oh sure. Like with that added pressure. Right, 00:54:22.949 --> 00:54:27.329 and like, there's a way to escape a maze flawlessly, 00:54:27.590 --> 00:54:30.670 is you just hug one wall, and you never let that 00:54:30.670 --> 00:54:33.630 wall go. Because that wall will eventually trace 00:54:33.630 --> 00:54:35.889 to the end of the maze. But you will hit several 00:54:35.889 --> 00:54:39.059 dead ends on the way. Sure. So unless you have 00:54:39.059 --> 00:54:43.860 an eidetic memory or you can map where you are 00:54:43.860 --> 00:54:46.940 visually in your brain, you literally just hug 00:54:46.940 --> 00:54:49.840 one wall, eventually you'll make it out. That's 00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:52.619 not gonna work if I'm being chased! No, no. It 00:54:52.619 --> 00:54:54.280 will not. If there's a German Shepherd gnawing 00:54:54.280 --> 00:54:56.159 at your ankle, you've got other problems. If 00:54:56.159 --> 00:55:00.639 I see one Doberman, holy shit, nah. No. Pass. 00:55:01.119 --> 00:55:08.159 Hard pass. Good question though. At 6244422335 00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:11.480 Great name. Memorable. Definitely memorable. 00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:15.800 You are placed in a pit with Vladimir Putin and 00:55:15.800 --> 00:55:18.679 you are going to fight him to the death. I'll 00:55:18.679 --> 00:55:21.099 do it. You get to pick your weapon of choice, 00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:25.199 but note he will be using the same weapon. Ooh. 00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:29.829 Ooh, that's good. Okay, well. Vladimir Putin 00:55:29.829 --> 00:55:37.030 is a feeble old man. But a former spy, KGB, sold 00:55:37.030 --> 00:55:41.409 like, he has some set of skills. Sure. But, he's 00:55:41.409 --> 00:55:43.829 a feeble old man. And looks sexy as fuck on a 00:55:43.829 --> 00:55:45.750 horse without his shirt. I'm just gonna say. 00:55:45.750 --> 00:55:48.650 Or a bear. Not that I would do him. Not that 00:55:48.650 --> 00:55:52.929 I wouldn't do him, but I would pick a heavy melee 00:55:52.929 --> 00:55:59.289 weapon. So I'm talking a mace, baseball bat with 00:55:59.289 --> 00:56:02.289 barbed wire on it. There you go. Something hefty, 00:56:02.369 --> 00:56:04.650 where I know he's gonna be slower than I am. 00:56:04.969 --> 00:56:07.469 Good point. So I'm thinking melee weapon, I'm 00:56:07.469 --> 00:56:10.929 thinking heavy, not sharp, because sharp I'm 00:56:10.929 --> 00:56:14.750 not skilled with. Heavy, I know brutality. I 00:56:14.750 --> 00:56:18.949 can do brutality. And I will move quicker than 00:56:18.949 --> 00:56:21.789 him, I will be more efficient than him, and I 00:56:21.789 --> 00:56:25.289 will win. I like it. So I am picking a heavy, 00:56:25.750 --> 00:56:29.860 blunt melee weapon. I love it. I'm gonna go the 00:56:29.860 --> 00:56:33.159 other route. I'm gonna pick a spoon. Because 00:56:33.159 --> 00:56:35.360 he's not gonna kill me with a spoon. Oh, that's 00:56:35.360 --> 00:56:37.519 smart. And now I can just box him because I know 00:56:37.519 --> 00:56:39.320 I can box. That's smart, and he's feeble and 00:56:39.320 --> 00:56:40.940 old. And he's feeble and old. That's so good. 00:56:40.940 --> 00:56:42.920 So I'm gonna get a few jabs. I'm gonna give him 00:56:42.920 --> 00:56:44.300 a right cross. He's like, hey, what about that 00:56:44.300 --> 00:56:45.900 spoon? Hey, put the spoon up your ass, dude. 00:56:46.460 --> 00:56:48.260 You're about to get your ass beat. Honestly, 00:56:48.500 --> 00:56:51.059 that's like my line of thought, but even more 00:56:51.059 --> 00:56:53.679 genius. Because here's the thing. You give him 00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:56.909 a bat with a barbed wire. Hey, it's people my 00:56:56.909 --> 00:56:58.469 kids still get lucky. There's still a chance. 00:56:58.469 --> 00:57:00.090 They'll hurt you, right? Right if he hits you 00:57:00.090 --> 00:57:02.409 in a certain spot That's gonna render you helpless. 00:57:02.429 --> 00:57:04.630 Yeah was oh, but yeah, I'll give him a spoon 00:57:04.630 --> 00:57:08.510 and he'll just about okay Now what now we box? 00:57:09.369 --> 00:57:12.329 That's smart. That's smart. I'll give you that 00:57:12.329 --> 00:57:15.190 points for you. Thank you I will take this I 00:57:15.190 --> 00:57:19.469 will take whatever points I get last one for 00:57:19.469 --> 00:57:24.340 the day at stoner stanley 420 man Momo and Alan 00:57:24.340 --> 00:57:28.619 is a happy day damn, right?

I'm calling it mid -century 00:58:55.380 --> 00:59:01.980 madness. Oh, boy. So, the 1900s were a weird 00:59:01.980 --> 00:59:06.639 time in American history because we had the big 00:59:06.639 --> 00:59:10.920 war, the Second World War, And then everyone 00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:15.659 got back, had a bunch of babies, and then all 00:59:15.659 --> 00:59:19.059 of a sudden we're turning all foods into Jell 00:59:19.059 --> 00:59:26.599 -O. So 1950s food, mid -century America, is what 00:59:26.599 --> 00:59:28.900 I want to talk about today. Because I have some 00:59:28.900 --> 00:59:31.440 really weird and disturbing food I want to talk 00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:35.980 about. Love it. First of all, the tuna and Jell 00:59:35.980 --> 00:59:40.690 -O pie. What? Also known as the summer salad 00:59:40.690 --> 00:59:44.329 pie which by the way made it into Betty Crocker's 00:59:44.329 --> 00:59:48.730 dinner in a dish cookbook from the 60s Calling 00:59:48.730 --> 00:59:53.630 it quote pretty as can be To remind all the listeners 00:59:53.630 --> 00:59:55.690 that may have missed a part of that. This is 00:59:55.690 --> 01:00:00.809 tuna and jello on a pie crust I'm gonna show 01:00:00.809 --> 01:00:04.469 Mark Mo an image Oh, that looks vile. It looks 01:00:04.469 --> 01:00:06.590 vile. You may have to do your own research at 01:00:06.590 --> 01:00:09.469 home, lovely listeners. But that's the tuna and 01:00:09.469 --> 01:00:13.150 jello pie. This list, by the way, I will mention 01:00:13.150 --> 01:00:17.090 is from BuzzFeed. So if anyone wants to see the 01:00:17.090 --> 01:00:19.989 full list, I believe you can just look up like 01:00:19.989 --> 01:00:24.789 1950s food BuzzFeed. You'll find it. The tuna 01:00:24.789 --> 01:00:27.489 and jello pie. It is exactly what you think it 01:00:27.489 --> 01:00:32.429 is. Next up on this list is ham and bananas hollandaise. 01:00:33.349 --> 01:00:39.389 Ham? Oh, yeah. To recap, ham and bananas. Hollandaise. 01:00:40.670 --> 01:00:43.969 That's the only ingredients. That's it? It's 01:00:43.969 --> 01:00:47.929 bananas with ham on top with Hollandaise sauce 01:00:47.929 --> 01:00:52.110 on top of the ham. That's on the bananas. No, 01:00:52.570 --> 01:00:57.260 no. Ham and bananas hollandaise. Oh god, no 1950s 01:00:57.260 --> 01:01:00.460 America you yeah, I mean granted I will say this 01:01:00.460 --> 01:01:03.360 is probably all like white people recipes because 01:01:03.360 --> 01:01:08.679 at least at least Like white Americans have such 01:01:08.679 --> 01:01:11.460 a track record of not having good culture crew 01:01:11.460 --> 01:01:16.099 true and I don't want to pin this on on black 01:01:16.099 --> 01:01:19.699 Americans at all or away I like this. This is 01:01:19.699 --> 01:01:22.409 clearly a white people thing Next up on this 01:01:22.409 --> 01:01:25.989 list is the perfection salad. This is a quote. 01:01:26.230 --> 01:01:28.429 I am not calling it perfection salad perfection 01:01:28.429 --> 01:01:32.210 salad Which is a tall jello mold filled with 01:01:32.210 --> 01:01:37.010 unflavored gelatin lettuce leeks tomatoes and 01:01:37.010 --> 01:01:41.929 other salad ingredients It's simply a salad suspended 01:01:41.929 --> 01:01:46.639 in unflavored gelatin That's nasty. Yeah, just 01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:49.900 fucking eat a salad! Just eat the salad! Eat 01:01:49.900 --> 01:01:52.039 the salad, have a little dish on the side with 01:01:52.039 --> 01:01:53.699 a piece of jello in it, and you're good. That's 01:01:53.699 --> 01:01:56.079 it! That's it, you don't need to combine it! 01:01:56.320 --> 01:01:58.460 No, no, no, not everything is a Reese's. No! 01:01:59.000 --> 01:02:02.599 Next up is the Frosted Ribbon Loaf, because if 01:02:02.599 --> 01:02:06.420 it wasn't a jello mode, it was a loaf. It's a 01:02:06.420 --> 01:02:11.079 cream cheese frosting filled with layers of ham 01:02:11.079 --> 01:02:14.420 and egg filling. with a lovely tomato on the 01:02:14.420 --> 01:02:18.579 top. That just looks, I mean, on the surface 01:02:18.579 --> 01:02:21.360 I would be like, what is that? That looks interesting. 01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:26.659 But I think upon more, more intense inspection. 01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:29.920 Right, right, right. And possibly things through 01:02:29.920 --> 01:02:32.480 taste. Taste and things going up your nostrils 01:02:32.480 --> 01:02:36.260 would probably just be just so gross. In theory 01:02:36.260 --> 01:02:40.019 and practice is bad. Next up is the lobster relish. 01:02:40.269 --> 01:02:43.369 Oh, God. Which is a jello mold with shrimp, lobster, 01:02:43.730 --> 01:02:47.210 and other accoutrement. No way. But it's all 01:02:47.210 --> 01:02:50.030 frozen in gelatin. All in jello. It's all in 01:02:50.030 --> 01:02:53.650 gelatin. We've got the lime cheese salad. Oh. 01:02:53.849 --> 01:02:59.369 Which is lime jello. Lime jello. Lime jello plus 01:02:59.369 --> 01:03:06.889 dairy plus seafood. Oh, God. Yep. Yep. And then 01:03:06.889 --> 01:03:11.630 penultimate is the lever. sausage pineapple. 01:03:12.090 --> 01:03:15.789 Liver sausage pineapple. Yes, which is a jello 01:03:15.789 --> 01:03:19.590 mold made to look like a pineapple. That's a 01:03:19.590 --> 01:03:22.170 jello mold? That's a jello mold. I'm showing 01:03:22.170 --> 01:03:24.050 images to Mark Moe here. You'll have to look 01:03:24.050 --> 01:03:27.590 them up at home. It is a jello mold made out 01:03:27.590 --> 01:03:31.030 of liverwurst, mayonnaise, Worcester, but it's 01:03:31.030 --> 01:03:33.510 made to look like a pineapple. Now why would 01:03:33.510 --> 01:03:37.590 you make a fantastic tasty looking fruit? out 01:03:37.590 --> 01:03:40.710 of nasty ingredients. Now, see, SpongeBob would 01:03:40.710 --> 01:03:43.170 see that shit, and he would just rather scrub 01:03:43.170 --> 01:03:45.329 your dirty pans, man. I'm moving out. I'm moving 01:03:45.329 --> 01:03:48.050 out. Dry me up, I will scrub your pans. Keep 01:03:48.050 --> 01:03:50.969 your damn pineapple. Oh, that's gross. The final 01:03:50.969 --> 01:03:54.050 one I have is a simple two -ingredient recipe. 01:03:54.070 --> 01:03:59.750 Oh. Called Spam and Limas. Okay. Which is roasted 01:03:59.750 --> 01:04:03.230 spam and lima beans. beautifully arranged in 01:04:03.230 --> 01:04:06.750 a pot to make it look like dog vomit. That's 01:04:06.750 --> 01:04:08.949 like, I would never eat that, ever. Spam and 01:04:08.949 --> 01:04:12.409 limas. I wouldn't eat either one on their own. 01:04:12.969 --> 01:04:17.570 Let alone together. Spam and limas. No way. This 01:04:17.570 --> 01:04:20.550 has been mid -century madness. Not now, not never. 01:04:22.050 --> 01:04:26.070 Johnny Hemistix. Yeah, it's not good. It's not 01:04:26.070 --> 01:04:29.260 looking good for you 1950s people.

Yep, that's 01:06:22.159 --> 01:06:26.039 right, one rule. No rules. No rules? That's a 01:06:26.039 --> 01:06:28.420 great rule to have. It's not a great rule. Paradoxical, 01:06:28.420 --> 01:06:30.460 but I like it. Yeah, I'm okay with that. Yeah. 01:06:30.570 --> 01:06:32.809 But it's not against the rules.

Our top ten. 01:06:39.010 --> 01:06:42.610 Top ten whiskeys. The beverage that is near and 01:06:42.610 --> 01:06:46.590 dear to my heart and yours as well. And we have 01:06:46.590 --> 01:06:50.630 a beverage with us here this evening. And Aiden, 01:06:50.750 --> 01:06:52.030 why don't you tell the fine folks about what 01:06:52.030 --> 01:06:54.329 we're consuming while we do our list here. We 01:06:54.329 --> 01:06:57.369 have, in the past, for our official beer review, 01:06:57.769 --> 01:07:01.500 swerved... and tried a whiskey before. We did. 01:07:01.699 --> 01:07:04.280 This one we are simply going to be sampling as 01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:08.840 we talk about the beverage itself. This is the 01:07:08.840 --> 01:07:13.679 Evan Williams 100 proof bonded American bourbon. 01:07:13.780 --> 01:07:16.800 We're simply going to be sipping it along as 01:07:16.800 --> 01:07:20.400 we talk about its brethren or sisters, however 01:07:20.400 --> 01:07:22.619 you want to look at it. However. It's sibling 01:07:22.619 --> 01:07:25.920 drinks. And we'll be talking about our favorite 01:07:25.920 --> 01:07:30.230 whiskies as we sip. Indeed a whiskey that I don't 01:07:30.230 --> 01:07:32.469 think either of us have tried before I have not 01:07:32.469 --> 01:07:34.969 which will be fun now as soon as you said Evan 01:07:34.969 --> 01:07:37.230 Williams I was so happy because I'm like oh that 01:07:37.230 --> 01:07:39.769 is like there aren't many haven't tried there 01:07:39.769 --> 01:07:42.650 are definitely some top shelf like Super expensive 01:07:42.650 --> 01:07:45.909 ones. I haven't tried sure But you know most 01:07:45.909 --> 01:07:48.250 of your mid -range down I have and Evan Williams 01:07:48.250 --> 01:07:50.610 has happened to be one I hadn't well this this 01:07:50.610 --> 01:07:54.519 I think is the higher brow Evan Williams. There 01:07:54.519 --> 01:07:56.679 is a base Evan Williams, and I think this is 01:07:56.679 --> 01:07:59.360 a step or two above it, being the Bonded 100. 01:07:59.719 --> 01:08:02.820 So we will be sipping that as we talk about our 01:08:02.820 --> 01:08:05.300 list. And of course, if you have a list at home 01:08:05.300 --> 01:08:08.300 of your favorite whiskies, send it to us. Absolutely, 01:08:08.360 --> 01:08:12.400 through the socials. Sluncha. Sluncha. Oh, that's 01:08:12.400 --> 01:08:17.159 nice. Oh, she fiery. In a fun way. Yeah. You 01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:21.000 know? I really enjoy the flavor a lot. Yes. Yeah, 01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:25.029 this one... This is one of those unique whiskeys, 01:08:25.029 --> 01:08:27.750 in my opinion, where it's an interesting in -between. 01:08:28.229 --> 01:08:32.069 Could you shoot it? Sure. Could you sip it? Sure. 01:08:32.609 --> 01:08:35.890 Is there an in -between? No. There is not. I 01:08:35.890 --> 01:08:38.050 mean, if you take anything more than a sip of 01:08:38.050 --> 01:08:40.149 this, you're going to have wished you shot it. 01:08:40.390 --> 01:08:45.189 That hundred proof is pretty tough. But, flavor 01:08:45.189 --> 01:08:47.170 notes. The flavor notes are great. Oh, they're 01:08:47.170 --> 01:08:51.760 excellent. On the nose, it's fantastic. The palate, 01:08:52.180 --> 01:08:58.760 it's sweet, vanilla, peanut, pit fruit, and then 01:08:58.760 --> 01:09:02.239 it just, it just bites you. It bites you back 01:09:02.239 --> 01:09:06.979 with that 50%. It does, but in the same sense, 01:09:07.699 --> 01:09:11.939 I feel unlike, and I know this is, this is extreme 01:09:11.939 --> 01:09:16.260 because this is, you're going from a mid to upper 01:09:16.260 --> 01:09:21.350 mid level bourbon to just dog water, but. The 01:09:21.350 --> 01:09:22.890 point I'm trying to make is that I don't think 01:09:22.890 --> 01:09:26.430 it lingers on the palate too long. Sure, I agree. 01:09:26.789 --> 01:09:31.149 Like a Malort does. Ah, yes. Where I can drink 01:09:31.149 --> 01:09:33.609 almost anything. How dare you compare this Evan 01:09:33.609 --> 01:09:35.989 Williams dog shit to the beauty that is Malort. 01:09:36.149 --> 01:09:38.210 To the beauty that is Malort. How dare you, I 01:09:38.210 --> 01:09:42.770 know. But Malort happens to be one of those liquors 01:09:42.770 --> 01:09:45.199 that... People be like, oh my god, it's the worst 01:09:45.199 --> 01:09:47.279 thing ever, and this and that. But I don't see 01:09:47.279 --> 01:09:50.619 that. No, I think it's technically a liqueur. 01:09:50.739 --> 01:09:54.859 Yes, correct. But it's not as bad as people make 01:09:54.859 --> 01:09:57.760 it out. And it could be like, oh, you just like 01:09:57.760 --> 01:10:00.600 it because you're Chicago. Well, I like it because 01:10:00.600 --> 01:10:03.899 it's the closest I can get to drinking pine soul 01:10:03.899 --> 01:10:07.020 without drinking a dangerous chemical. Agreed. 01:10:07.600 --> 01:10:10.079 It tastes like pine soul smells. Yes, it does. 01:10:10.260 --> 01:10:14.170 As a... As an ingredient in a cocktail, it makes 01:10:14.170 --> 01:10:16.689 sense. Because if you want something with pine, 01:10:16.729 --> 01:10:19.229 if you want something with bite, put m 'lord 01:10:19.229 --> 01:10:21.470 in there. Absolutely. If you want to prank your 01:10:21.470 --> 01:10:23.970 friends, give them a glass full of m 'lord. Yeah. 01:10:24.050 --> 01:10:26.229 If you want a shot for funsie, you drink m 'lord. 01:10:26.289 --> 01:10:30.390 There's no... There's no reason not to drink 01:10:30.390 --> 01:10:32.510 m 'lord. And I'm not sponsored by m 'lord, but 01:10:32.510 --> 01:10:35.010 I just go out and drink m 'lord right now. I 01:10:35.010 --> 01:10:36.869 agree. Buy a handle of it. I don't even think 01:10:36.869 --> 01:10:40.329 they make those. No. I don't think so. Find one. 01:10:40.470 --> 01:10:44.069 Find one indeed. I love how you said find one. 01:10:44.229 --> 01:10:47.829 Find one. You have been directed by Aidan Maloney 01:10:47.829 --> 01:10:51.670 to find one. B -Y -O -M. Bring your own Malort. 01:10:51.770 --> 01:10:53.770 Bring your own Malort. And if you're going to 01:10:53.770 --> 01:10:55.930 do the proper Chicago handshake, make sure you 01:10:55.930 --> 01:10:59.170 got Spoltz style on you. My man. OK.

Might be that might I don't 01:11:10.699 --> 01:11:12.340 know if that's an Irish whiskey or if it's a 01:11:12.340 --> 01:11:15.539 blend it is But I do enjoy two ginzers quite 01:11:15.539 --> 01:11:19.920 a bit And then Toki Suntory, so that is a Japanese 01:11:19.920 --> 01:11:23.760 whiskey.

And 01:11:53.649 --> 01:11:56.850 so it has a historical context to it, but also 01:11:56.850 --> 01:11:59.869 is just a damn good Irish whiskey.

And when I sit down, it's like, hey, 01:15:14.670 --> 01:15:16.090 do you want a shot? Because that's kind of what 01:15:16.090 --> 01:15:17.829 you do. Not only do you tip a good bartender 01:15:17.829 --> 01:15:19.909 well, but you kind of offer at some point in 01:15:19.909 --> 01:15:22.470 the night to do a shot with them. And mine's 01:15:22.470 --> 01:15:24.270 always Jameson. That's just the standard. Yep, 01:15:24.470 --> 01:15:26.470 the old Jameson. Unless I'm doing a shot with 01:15:26.470 --> 01:15:29.430 my friend Taylor, and that might be my number 01:15:29.430 --> 01:15:32.720 one, so I can't say it. Foreshadowing. Curious. 01:15:33.039 --> 01:15:35.899 Curious, hmm. Now, I like the fact that you mentioned 01:15:35.899 --> 01:15:38.159 at the beginning of your list that there may 01:15:38.159 --> 01:15:41.420 be some favorites mentioned. Yes. So there are 01:15:41.420 --> 01:15:44.779 biases implied here. I don't want the first couple 01:15:44.779 --> 01:15:48.899 I mentioned to be an indication of my immaturity. 01:15:49.460 --> 01:15:52.760 I would never judge. But! Oh, I'm sure some people 01:15:52.760 --> 01:15:55.159 will. Oh, there's gonna be people judging me. 01:15:55.560 --> 01:16:00.090 Because my number 10 is red stag. My number 10 01:16:00.090 --> 01:16:03.529 is Red Stag. I'm not judging. That's, that is 01:16:03.529 --> 01:16:06.689 a, I think it's Jim Beam, if I'm not mistaken. 01:16:06.909 --> 01:16:11.550 It's a Jim Beam Black Cherry Whiskey. And it's 01:16:11.550 --> 01:16:14.829 pretty low on the shelf, to be honest. That's 01:16:14.829 --> 01:16:19.600 okay. But it's just enjoyable. Yeah, it's just 01:16:19.600 --> 01:16:22.720 enjoyable. And that's why it makes my list, you 01:16:22.720 --> 01:16:25.479 know, it doesn't always have to be that that 01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:30.020 $50 bottle that $50 750 mil that you get. Yeah, 01:16:30.479 --> 01:16:33.159 it's enjoyable. And it's inexpensive. And that's 01:16:33.159 --> 01:16:35.279 red stag and it's number 10. And sometimes those 01:16:35.279 --> 01:16:36.960 ones on the lower shelf. That's the one you mix 01:16:36.960 --> 01:16:39.960 with stuff. Exactly. Exactly. Number nine on 01:16:39.960 --> 01:16:43.380 my list. Hear me out. Number nine on my list. 01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:47.960 Jamison. Wow, I'll get to why okay number nine 01:16:47.960 --> 01:16:51.439 on my list is Jameson number eight on my list 01:16:51.439 --> 01:16:56.279 Hear me out fireball Something I thought really 01:16:56.279 --> 01:17:00.779 hard I really did because I can do shots fireball 01:17:00.779 --> 01:17:03.000 and people will get them and like I've been at 01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:06.000 local bars and People like a fireball like I'll 01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:07.779 do it. Oh, yeah, I'm like I don't drink that 01:17:07.779 --> 01:17:12.039 all day cinnamon whiskey it is fantastic. Yeah. 01:17:12.460 --> 01:17:14.800 And it's weird, right? I'm not a fan of red hots. 01:17:14.979 --> 01:17:18.220 I'm not a fan of like that, that spicy cinnamon 01:17:18.220 --> 01:17:21.260 gum you get, but fireball is just different in 01:17:21.260 --> 01:17:24.680 a great way. I think so. Yes. I wonder if there's 01:17:24.680 --> 01:17:26.979 a way where you could make cinnamon rolls and 01:17:26.979 --> 01:17:30.729 infuse it with fireball. Or if you put the fireball 01:17:30.729 --> 01:17:34.630 in like the icing, uh -huh. Holy Well, I know 01:17:34.630 --> 01:17:37.470 you can take fireball and put it with apple juice 01:17:37.470 --> 01:17:40.770 and that's great Apple pie or cider even. Yep. 01:17:41.569 --> 01:17:44.649 Yep Number seven on my list is slain You mentioned 01:17:44.649 --> 01:17:47.829 that Irish whiskey is fantastic. Number six on 01:17:47.829 --> 01:17:51.550 my list is the Suntory World Blend. Oh, that's 01:17:51.550 --> 01:17:53.510 really good. We have tried on the show before. 01:17:53.670 --> 01:17:58.590 It is a blend of Irish, American, Canadian, Japanese 01:17:58.590 --> 01:18:03.239 and I think one other Scotch. Some of the blendeds 01:18:03.239 --> 01:18:06.319 are actually really good. Yes, so they blend 01:18:06.319 --> 01:18:09.640 those five types of whiskies including their 01:18:09.640 --> 01:18:14.079 Suntory Japanese whiskey. Fantastic. I mean the 01:18:14.079 --> 01:18:18.380 calmness of the Canadian and Irish whiskies with 01:18:18.380 --> 01:18:23.399 the American whiskey really toned down the powerful 01:18:23.399 --> 01:18:26.890 Scotch flavor that's just... Earthy and smoky. 01:18:26.949 --> 01:18:29.050 Yeah, and then the Japanese whiskey all the character 01:18:29.050 --> 01:18:32.010 and there is fantastic number five the not which 01:18:32.010 --> 01:18:36.390 is an Irish whiskey Not I left that off my list. 01:18:36.430 --> 01:18:39.329 That's a good one a Phenomenal Irish whiskey 01:18:39.329 --> 01:18:41.369 I believe that one's a hunter proof too, but 01:18:41.369 --> 01:18:44.189 you would never know you would never know smooth 01:18:44.189 --> 01:18:47.850 number four I separated these on purpose. Number 01:18:47.850 --> 01:18:51.770 four is the Jameson Stout Edition. I see. I see 01:18:51.770 --> 01:18:54.750 what you did there. Yes. The Jameson Stout Edition 01:18:54.750 --> 01:18:57.050 whiskey is phenomenal. It's so good. You get 01:18:57.050 --> 01:19:01.010 the flavor nuts of stout, of Irish stout in your 01:19:01.010 --> 01:19:05.810 whiskey. Dude. Dude, get real. Yeah. It is fantastic. 01:19:06.010 --> 01:19:09.189 Number three, Maker's Mark. You want to talk 01:19:09.189 --> 01:19:11.909 about American bourbon. There is nothing smoother. 01:19:12.829 --> 01:19:16.069 more charming than Maker's Mark. You get that 01:19:16.069 --> 01:19:19.649 dipped red wax on the top. It feels like I'm 01:19:19.649 --> 01:19:23.109 royal every time I open a bottle. I'm like, dude, 01:19:23.109 --> 01:19:25.609 this is it. Number two on my list is something 01:19:25.609 --> 01:19:28.970 I just discovered this year. It's called Tin 01:19:28.970 --> 01:19:31.829 Cup. It is an American whiskey and bourbon company. 01:19:32.930 --> 01:19:37.329 It's so smooth. I would hazard to say it might 01:19:37.329 --> 01:19:40.810 be the smoothest whiskey on my list. Interesting. 01:19:41.010 --> 01:19:43.810 At number two. Tin Cup is phenomenal as a whiskey, 01:19:44.069 --> 01:19:48.569 even in its bourbon form. It's fantastic. I think 01:19:48.569 --> 01:19:50.970 you're going to be charred. I think it's 30 to 01:19:50.970 --> 01:19:57.090 40 bucks for a 750 mil of it. But it's just, 01:19:57.090 --> 01:19:59.810 it's fantastic. And that was your number two? 01:19:59.810 --> 01:20:02.170 That is my number two. All right. That brings 01:20:02.170 --> 01:20:04.710 us to the big number one. The number one reveal. 01:20:04.970 --> 01:20:07.189 And my number one is the shot that I do with 01:20:07.189 --> 01:20:10.590 my friend Taylor. His maker is Mark. There you 01:20:10.590 --> 01:20:13.649 go. There you go. Now here's funny quick story 01:20:13.649 --> 01:20:16.529 I had a friend in college his name was Carl now 01:20:16.529 --> 01:20:18.909 Carl like when you have a group of friends There's 01:20:18.909 --> 01:20:21.149 always that one friend and he's not I'm not talking 01:20:21.149 --> 01:20:23.050 about that friend. That's your asshole because 01:20:23.050 --> 01:20:25.350 you're just like oh Yeah, that guy's a real asshole, 01:20:25.369 --> 01:20:27.890 but he's my asshole sure sure he was not an asshole 01:20:27.890 --> 01:20:31.149 He's just kind of a weird eccentric kind of guy 01:20:31.149 --> 01:20:33.810 funky dude where it's just like kind of on the 01:20:33.810 --> 01:20:36.880 surface if I'd see him I might Just kind of stay 01:20:36.880 --> 01:20:39.100 away from him. Sure, but because he kind of got 01:20:39.100 --> 01:20:41.239 swallowed up in our group of friends It's our 01:20:41.239 --> 01:20:44.439 guy. Yeah, so he would always drink makers and 01:20:44.439 --> 01:20:46.859 I'd be like what a weird dude drinking made the 01:20:46.859 --> 01:20:48.399 top of the thing Looks like a candle. What is 01:20:48.399 --> 01:20:49.859 he doing? Right? Right? Like I never thought 01:20:49.859 --> 01:20:51.399 of it and then one night He's like, oh you want 01:20:51.399 --> 01:20:54.399 a shot of my makers? I'm like a sure Carl. Yeah, 01:20:54.520 --> 01:20:56.619 I'll have a shot. I have shot. I'm like I've 01:20:56.619 --> 01:20:59.979 been missing so much. What am I doing? My man 01:20:59.979 --> 01:21:02.720 Carl knew all along. He knew. He should have 01:21:02.720 --> 01:21:04.640 told me. He should have told me. My man Carl 01:21:04.640 --> 01:21:07.500 totally knew. And I've been a Makers fan ever 01:21:07.500 --> 01:21:10.100 since. It's really, really smooth. When one of 01:21:10.100 --> 01:21:11.920 my bartenders was like, want to do a shot? You 01:21:11.920 --> 01:21:14.880 want Makers? I'm like... Yes. Yes, I do. Yes, 01:21:14.880 --> 01:21:17.260 I do. Yeah. And that's our shot. I think it's 01:21:17.260 --> 01:21:20.319 94 proof, too. I think so. I think it's an overproof 01:21:20.319 --> 01:21:22.939 bourbon. It is. Yeah. Yeah, most definitely. 01:21:23.140 --> 01:21:25.399 I enjoy it very much. It is really, really smooth. 01:21:25.460 --> 01:21:27.500 Makers is good. So when that was near the top 01:21:27.500 --> 01:21:30.100 of yours, I was like, OK, my man. Yeah, absolutely. 01:21:30.300 --> 01:21:33.520 The number one on my list is the Jameson Black 01:21:33.520 --> 01:21:36.800 Barrel. Oh, I've had that. That is excellent. 01:21:36.960 --> 01:21:39.520 It is fantastic. That's why I have three different 01:21:39.520 --> 01:21:42.319 Jamesons on my list is because I wanted to separate 01:21:42.319 --> 01:21:44.279 them and put them where I believe they should 01:21:44.279 --> 01:21:47.579 be in my opinion. Yeah. All these lists are subjective. 01:21:47.920 --> 01:21:49.800 So for sure. If you think differently, let us 01:21:49.800 --> 01:21:52.380 know. That's totally fine. But that Jameson black 01:21:52.380 --> 01:21:55.119 barrel. It's got to go above the tin cup. It's 01:21:55.119 --> 01:21:59.119 got to go above the makers for me. It's so flavorful. 01:21:59.380 --> 01:22:02.000 Yeah. And smooth. Of course it's the, I believe 01:22:02.000 --> 01:22:03.979 it's one of the pricer ones you can get from 01:22:03.979 --> 01:22:07.460 Jameson. I think so. But it's so worth it. Yeah, 01:22:07.539 --> 01:22:10.880 it's very good. It's very smooth. Yeah, so that 01:22:10.880 --> 01:22:15.119 one definitely tops my list. They do a, Jameson 01:22:15.119 --> 01:22:18.500 has like a Jameson 22. I think it's a 22 year 01:22:18.500 --> 01:22:22.159 old. And it's like 300 bucks. So that is kind 01:22:22.159 --> 01:22:26.279 of their top of the line. But the black barrel 01:22:26.279 --> 01:22:31.300 is like mid. mid -upper tier for that. And it's 01:22:31.300 --> 01:22:33.020 Black Barrel's excellent. It's fantastic, yeah. 01:22:33.159 --> 01:22:36.439 So that's my definite number one. That's awesome. 01:22:36.640 --> 01:22:41.840 I love that. Well, yeah, that was our top 10 01:22:41.840 --> 01:22:43.979 list. Hopefully you guys enjoyed that.

We've 01:23:08.800 --> 01:23:11.079 been doing this for a while as well. Review preview, 01:23:11.439 --> 01:23:13.840 a review movie preview on last week I didn't 01:23:13.840 --> 01:23:17.350 see one. So I told you about a lot of Italian 01:23:17.350 --> 01:23:21.489 mob movies And some good ones at that. So hopefully 01:23:21.489 --> 01:23:23.109 if you hadn't seen a couple of those maybe you 01:23:23.109 --> 01:23:26.449 put those on your list This week, um, I actually 01:23:26.449 --> 01:23:29.850 saw a movie. Hey, and it was excellent. It's 01:23:29.850 --> 01:23:32.609 called fighter flight So if you're a fan of like 01:23:32.609 --> 01:23:36.649 train to Busan or snakes on a plane This was 01:23:36.649 --> 01:23:41.090 like those two movies in a blender utter That's 01:23:41.090 --> 01:23:43.949 grand So a mercenary takes on the job of tracking 01:23:43.949 --> 01:23:46.729 a high -value asset known as the Ghost on an 01:23:46.729 --> 01:23:49.430 international flight. Realizing the plane is 01:23:49.430 --> 01:23:52.550 filled with assassins assigned to kill them both, 01:23:53.029 --> 01:23:55.149 the pair must work together in a fight for their 01:23:55.149 --> 01:23:59.090 lives. Stars Josh Hartnett, Katharic Chondron, 01:23:59.470 --> 01:24:02.470 and Katie Sakoff. It was fast -paced, it was 01:24:02.470 --> 01:24:05.069 fun, it was incredibly over -the -top, like those 01:24:05.069 --> 01:24:08.909 old -school karate movies. I enjoyed the hell 01:24:08.909 --> 01:24:10.930 out of this movie. I give it a very, very solid 01:24:10.930 --> 01:24:15.289 7 .8 out of 10. Nice. It's just from minute one, 01:24:15.369 --> 01:24:17.850 like you're just into the life of this guy and 01:24:17.850 --> 01:24:21.310 he's a hot mess. He's kind of a spy on the outside 01:24:21.310 --> 01:24:23.729 of his career and just like drinking a lot and 01:24:23.729 --> 01:24:25.890 whatever. And all of a sudden just gets himself 01:24:25.890 --> 01:24:28.569 wrapped into this job. Right, right. And it's 01:24:28.569 --> 01:24:32.180 just chaos. feet above the Pacific Ocean. Good. 01:24:32.579 --> 01:24:36.600 It's so good. It was so good. So I highly recommend 01:24:36.600 --> 01:24:39.359 it. I think you guys will definitely enjoy it. 01:24:39.560 --> 01:24:43.020 And a preview and a movie hopefully I might see 01:24:43.020 --> 01:24:46.380 this weekend is Ballerina. Now Ballerina is an 01:24:46.380 --> 01:24:49.520 upcoming action thriller film that is the fifth 01:24:49.520 --> 01:24:52.720 film in the John Wick franchise. So it's serving 01:24:52.720 --> 01:24:56.960 as a spinoff set between John Wick 3 Parabellum 01:24:56.960 --> 01:25:01.119 and John Wick Chapter 4. It stars Anna de Armas, 01:25:01.439 --> 01:25:05.920 Keanu Reeves, Lance Reddick, Norman Reedus. Ooh, 01:25:06.060 --> 01:25:08.180 nice. Is an addition. Very good. That's a really 01:25:08.180 --> 01:25:13.340 solid addition. Laurenzo Izzo and Ian McShane. 01:25:13.939 --> 01:25:20.579 The film opens Friday, May 23rd. And that is, 01:25:20.579 --> 01:25:22.739 well, if you're listening to this Saturday morning. 01:25:23.020 --> 01:25:26.060 It's open. It's here. It's out. Go see it. I'm 01:25:26.060 --> 01:25:27.979 excited. John Wick could do a million films. 01:25:28.500 --> 01:25:31.479 Oh, sure. I'm in. I'm completely in. And I think 01:25:31.479 --> 01:25:32.920 they're going to do some of these spin -offs 01:25:32.920 --> 01:25:35.399 based on the last one and what happened. I think 01:25:35.399 --> 01:25:38.680 there'll be some spin -offs. And this one I'm 01:25:38.680 --> 01:25:40.859 kind of excited for. Yeah. I'm kind of excited 01:25:40.859 --> 01:25:44.399 for it, so I'm definitely looking forward. Before 01:25:44.399 --> 01:25:46.779 we hit some music and move on to our final segments, 01:25:47.939 --> 01:25:51.869 we sleep. Some of us more than others sometimes 01:25:51.869 --> 01:25:55.449 we snore sometimes we're snoozing and sometimes 01:25:55.449 --> 01:26:00.430 it rains that's That's okay. That's that's a 01:26:00.430 --> 01:26:03.770 quote. That's a quote from First of all if you're 01:26:03.770 --> 01:26:05.470 out there, and I just said that and you know 01:26:05.470 --> 01:26:07.810 that quote Feel free, throw it in the comments. 01:26:08.850 --> 01:26:12.210 That was from Boulderm. Oh, nice. That was from 01:26:12.210 --> 01:26:14.729 Boulderm. Very good, very good. So if you've 01:26:14.729 --> 01:26:16.409 never seen that, check it out. It's a great baseball 01:26:16.409 --> 01:26:19.810 movie. Anyway, a lot of times we sleep on stuff. 01:26:20.270 --> 01:26:22.609 And in pop culture, it could be a game, it could 01:26:22.609 --> 01:26:24.430 be a movie, it could be a TV show, it could be 01:26:24.430 --> 01:26:26.149 something on YouTube, whatever the case might 01:26:26.149 --> 01:26:30.850 be. This guy susses it out week after week, doing 01:26:30.850 --> 01:26:33.890 the work. Putting the work in. Putting the work 01:26:33.890 --> 01:26:36.539 in. Putting the time. Every day. In the mines. 01:26:37.119 --> 01:26:40.199 The coal mines. The coal mines. Breathing in 01:26:40.199 --> 01:26:42.859 all those, okay. The coal dust. The canary's 01:26:42.859 --> 01:26:46.539 already dead. How am I alive still? It's probably 01:26:46.539 --> 01:26:48.279 all those microplastics you were talking about 01:26:48.279 --> 01:26:49.800 earlier. Oh, that's right, yeah. I bet that's 01:26:49.800 --> 01:26:51.359 it. It's preserving me. I'm pretty sure. It's 01:26:51.359 --> 01:26:53.479 also because I wasn't sleeping on this thing. 01:26:53.479 --> 01:26:55.800 That's right. You were awake, my guy. Y 'all 01:26:55.800 --> 01:26:58.899 were sleeping. We've got this little game. Yes. 01:26:59.460 --> 01:27:02.239 Some of us have been sleeping a while. Maybe 01:27:02.239 --> 01:27:04.779 30 some odd years. God, I wish I could sleep. 01:27:05.079 --> 01:27:08.760 This game out about 30 some odd years ago. Okay 01:27:08.760 --> 01:27:12.600 little game called Sim City 2000. Let's fucking 01:27:12.600 --> 01:27:18.399 go. Oh my god City 2000 a city building simulation 01:27:18.399 --> 01:27:23.020 video game Developed by Maxis and a couple other 01:27:23.020 --> 01:27:28.140 individuals released for Apple Macintosh and 01:27:28.140 --> 01:27:31.920 MS -DOS Yes, those who remember and came out 01:27:31.920 --> 01:27:35.310 in 93 So you're talking over 30 years ago at 01:27:35.310 --> 01:27:38.069 this point. Released on other platforms following 01:27:38.069 --> 01:27:41.590 Sega Saturn, the SNES, came out on PlayStation 01:27:41.590 --> 01:27:46.149 1. Wow. They're talking old consoles. Yeah. It 01:27:46.149 --> 01:27:50.710 is so fun. It's difficult. It is a difficult 01:27:50.710 --> 01:27:55.229 game to get good at because it's unforgiving. 01:27:55.329 --> 01:27:57.449 It's unforgiving in a way that like actually 01:27:57.449 --> 01:28:00.810 building a city and... like from the ground up, 01:28:01.250 --> 01:28:04.069 managing all the finances. It's difficult, but 01:28:04.069 --> 01:28:06.670 it's difficult in kind of a fair way. Sure. You 01:28:06.670 --> 01:28:08.569 know, you literally have to do the budgeting 01:28:08.569 --> 01:28:11.069 after every year. You have to zone out. Where 01:28:11.069 --> 01:28:13.890 do I want the commercial, the industrial, the 01:28:13.890 --> 01:28:16.609 residential? Is it high density, low density? 01:28:17.039 --> 01:28:20.520 Where's my police, fire, hospitals? Where's this 01:28:20.520 --> 01:28:22.119 school's gonna be? You literally have to think 01:28:22.119 --> 01:28:24.760 out every portion of this city. Because it's 01:28:24.760 --> 01:28:27.159 very easy to miss something. Yes. Very easy. 01:28:27.180 --> 01:28:28.880 Yeah, it's like, oh my gosh, why is this part 01:28:28.880 --> 01:28:30.979 of the city dying? It's like, well, okay, your 01:28:30.979 --> 01:28:34.140 nearest fire station's 10 miles away, so... Or 01:28:34.140 --> 01:28:36.380 you forget to connect the water pipes. Right, 01:28:36.460 --> 01:28:38.739 right. It's like, why? I just zoned this. Why 01:28:38.739 --> 01:28:41.140 isn't anything building? Yeah, your coal power 01:28:41.140 --> 01:28:43.619 plant is polluting the houses right next to it. 01:28:43.619 --> 01:28:45.920 I should have thought about that. For sure. It 01:28:45.920 --> 01:28:51.159 is... It's fantastic. And of course, it still 01:28:51.159 --> 01:28:56.220 runs on modern PCs. It just opens up a DOSBox 01:28:56.220 --> 01:28:58.460 to run the game in. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, 01:28:58.479 --> 01:29:00.699 so it literally opens up an application called 01:29:00.699 --> 01:29:05.800 DOSBox, which runs Microsoft DOS. on your 64 01:29:05.800 --> 01:29:09.319 -bit Windows 11. No way. Yeah. That's amazing. 01:29:09.460 --> 01:29:11.819 So it's running DOS in the background to open 01:29:11.819 --> 01:29:16.479 up the game. I think it's still $20 or so, which 01:29:16.479 --> 01:29:21.239 for a 30, 40 -year -old game, that's kind of 01:29:21.239 --> 01:29:25.920 steep, but you can sync so many hours. into that 01:29:25.920 --> 01:29:28.060 game and they're like little cheats and hacks 01:29:28.060 --> 01:29:30.699 you can get if you want to if you want to squander 01:29:30.699 --> 01:29:33.180 away millions of dollars you can make it happen 01:29:33.180 --> 01:29:35.840 through some little cheats which of course i've 01:29:35.840 --> 01:29:40.260 dwelled dwelled on put some time in yeah so it's 01:29:40.260 --> 01:29:43.380 it's just fun it's just fun and of course looking 01:29:43.380 --> 01:29:47.439 back on those types of it's not even really pixel 01:29:47.439 --> 01:29:51.260 eight bit graphics that's just how graphics looked 01:29:51.479 --> 01:29:54.939 DOS that's right. You know so that's you want 01:29:54.939 --> 01:29:57.600 you want 8 -bit pixel type graphics. That's about 01:29:57.600 --> 01:30:00.920 as genuine as it gets That's about rights SimCity 01:30:00.920 --> 01:30:03.800 2000 if you're in this city building or simulation 01:30:03.800 --> 01:30:07.260 games at all and you've got a Windows machine 01:30:07.260 --> 01:30:10.560 and 20 bones to spare that's that's the history 01:30:10.560 --> 01:30:15.199 of what all Most simulation games are on that's 01:30:15.199 --> 01:30:18.000 that's it so it's it's very fun, and this is 01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:20.470 what happened while you were sleeping Love that. 01:30:20.489 --> 01:30:22.390 I love that you brought that up because that 01:30:22.390 --> 01:30:25.729 that is a game that I used to play quite a bit 01:30:25.729 --> 01:30:30.289 and I played it before you guys were like really 01:30:30.289 --> 01:30:34.430 like gamers and Then I was able to kind of share 01:30:34.430 --> 01:30:36.810 that with you guys and it's just it's so fun 01:30:36.810 --> 01:30:39.029 So they're like there's you could start from 01:30:39.029 --> 01:30:41.430 scratch like not a lot of money And you were 01:30:41.430 --> 01:30:43.989 like frontier shit and we're trying to get a 01:30:43.989 --> 01:30:47.859 city going and it is hard. Yes, it is But you 01:30:47.859 --> 01:30:49.800 can go the other way and just be like, OK, start 01:30:49.800 --> 01:30:51.859 me with like 10 million dollars or whatever they 01:30:51.859 --> 01:30:53.920 start you with. And then you're kind of at least 01:30:53.920 --> 01:30:56.119 able to get like a core part of the city going 01:30:56.119 --> 01:30:58.699 and start building out and and do that sort of 01:30:58.699 --> 01:31:02.039 thing. But it's fun. And if you play like live, 01:31:02.199 --> 01:31:04.699 like you can have these massive fires. And before 01:31:04.699 --> 01:31:06.800 you're like, oh, my God, there's a fire like 01:31:06.800 --> 01:31:09.239 three quarters of your town is on fire. And you're 01:31:09.239 --> 01:31:12.180 like, well, yeah, that's that's that. And if 01:31:12.180 --> 01:31:15.300 you want to play God, you can spawn in disasters. 01:31:15.439 --> 01:31:18.439 You can spawn in alien monsters to come destroy 01:31:18.439 --> 01:31:22.380 your shit. You can. If your citizens get too 01:31:22.380 --> 01:31:24.260 upset with how you're running the city, they 01:31:24.260 --> 01:31:28.199 will riot and burn your city down. Yeah, they 01:31:28.199 --> 01:31:32.600 get angry and they're like... Burn down city 01:31:32.600 --> 01:31:35.659 hall. When you're building things... Okay, so 01:31:35.659 --> 01:31:37.619 maybe you can answer this question. So sometimes 01:31:37.619 --> 01:31:40.739 when they're building things, there's this female 01:31:40.739 --> 01:31:42.689 voice. And so you're sitting there, and you're 01:31:42.689 --> 01:31:44.270 putting pipes, or you're putting electric lines, 01:31:44.289 --> 01:31:46.550 or whatever. And she's like, but I'm not trying 01:31:46.550 --> 01:31:49.090 for a sponge. She says something like, what did 01:31:49.090 --> 01:31:51.909 she just say? When the game spawns up, the Maxis 01:31:51.909 --> 01:31:54.630 logo shows, and you click on it, and she's like, 01:31:54.670 --> 01:31:57.750 articulating splines. That's it. That's it. What 01:31:57.750 --> 01:32:00.069 does that mean? What does it mean? What are you 01:32:00.069 --> 01:32:03.550 telling me? What is an articulating spline? Exactly. 01:32:03.869 --> 01:32:06.390 Yeah, it's crazy, but great game. Yes, I agree. 01:32:06.729 --> 01:32:08.569 Excellent game. We're going to take a quick break 01:32:08.569 --> 01:32:11.350 and we come back or drink some beer and we're 01:32:11.350 --> 01:32:13.470 going to finish our tier list from last week. 01:32:13.710 --> 01:32:25.479 Part two American sports franchise. All right, 01:32:25.500 --> 01:32:26.920 everybody, we are in the home stretch of the 01:32:26.920 --> 01:32:29.260 Mark Mo Show. I'm your host, Mark Maloney, along 01:32:29.260 --> 01:32:32.140 with Aidan Maloney, and it is time for our beer 01:32:32.140 --> 01:32:36.920 review, post -whiskey review. The official beer 01:32:36.920 --> 01:32:39.819 review. Which, you know, it's good times. Yeah. 01:32:39.899 --> 01:32:42.460 It's good times, for sure. As deserved. For anyone 01:32:42.460 --> 01:32:45.100 wondering, no, this is not Saturday morning for 01:32:45.100 --> 01:32:48.800 us. This is a Friday evening, so worry not. Don't 01:32:48.800 --> 01:32:52.430 judge us, please. Worry not. But at any rate, 01:32:52.949 --> 01:32:54.310 why don't you tell the fine folks about the beer 01:32:54.310 --> 01:32:56.529 we're reviewing this week? The beer we are reviewing 01:32:56.529 --> 01:33:02.329 is the Slow Melt Pale Ale by Half Acre Beer Company, 01:33:02.630 --> 01:33:05.829 which I believe is a regional company out of 01:33:05.829 --> 01:33:08.869 Chicago, Illinois. God bless their souls. This 01:33:08.869 --> 01:33:13.810 is an American Pale Ale, 5 .8 % ABV, respectable. 01:33:14.970 --> 01:33:18.470 Their quote from the Half Acre Beer Company. 01:33:18.800 --> 01:33:22.260 we're not sponsored by the way we're introducing 01:33:22.260 --> 01:33:25.079 a new pale ale to our everyday lineup for 2025 01:33:25.079 --> 01:33:27.760 that pushes forward a contemporary hot profile 01:33:27.760 --> 01:33:32.899 for the west coast style now we will be the judge 01:33:32.899 --> 01:33:37.579 of that today because we are the official beer 01:33:37.579 --> 01:33:41.279 reviewers indeed so this half acre slow melt 01:33:41.279 --> 01:33:44.640 american pale ale sloncho sloncho trying for 01:33:44.640 --> 01:33:47.720 you today let us know in the comments What are 01:33:47.720 --> 01:33:50.279 you sampling today? Ooh, definitely got the citrus 01:33:50.279 --> 01:33:53.319 notes like right away. Oh yeah, that's lime. 01:33:54.119 --> 01:33:57.140 Yeah, that's a grapefruit, I would give it. Okay. 01:33:57.439 --> 01:34:00.180 Grapefruit for sure. Here's the deal. I'm not 01:34:00.180 --> 01:34:03.739 the biggest IPA guy. However, because a lot of 01:34:03.739 --> 01:34:05.619 times you get those bitter notes, get a little 01:34:05.619 --> 01:34:08.640 bit on the palate afterwards. Yeah. I'm not getting 01:34:08.640 --> 01:34:11.520 it from this one. This is not an India pale ale, 01:34:11.520 --> 01:34:14.600 this is an American pale ale. But it still has 01:34:14.600 --> 01:34:17.659 that like hoppy, grapefruity notes. But you're 01:34:17.659 --> 01:34:20.800 right, it does not, it does not sit on the palate. 01:34:20.960 --> 01:34:24.140 Not as strong, no way. No. That is enjoyable. 01:34:24.479 --> 01:34:29.119 Yeah. It's not, it's not light as a light beer 01:34:29.119 --> 01:34:32.960 goes because it is still full flavor. Yeah. But 01:34:32.960 --> 01:34:35.859 I get why it's called a Pale Ale, American Pale 01:34:35.859 --> 01:34:39.199 Ale, but it is, it's lighter than an IPA, right? 01:34:39.449 --> 01:34:42.470 Like the hops are toned down. It's really, it's 01:34:42.470 --> 01:34:46.189 grapefruit juicy, in my opinion. I enjoy it. 01:34:46.529 --> 01:34:49.710 I do too. That's an excellent beer. That is a 01:34:49.710 --> 01:34:53.529 crushable summertime, like get in from the house 01:34:53.529 --> 01:34:55.970 after mowing the lawn, like grab you one of these, 01:34:56.010 --> 01:34:59.750 right? Oh yeah, this is now, as many people know 01:34:59.750 --> 01:35:05.489 me, as a beverage connoisseur, so to speak, I 01:35:05.489 --> 01:35:11.319 am a fan of the Shandy. No, not so much. I mean, 01:35:11.479 --> 01:35:13.119 Sam Adams makes a good one. There's a couple 01:35:13.119 --> 01:35:14.920 other good ones out there. I'm talking about 01:35:14.920 --> 01:35:17.260 making your own. You know, with the fizzy lemonade 01:35:17.260 --> 01:35:19.319 and a lager, putting them together, whatever. 01:35:19.819 --> 01:35:21.819 Like, this is a good replacement. Like, if you 01:35:21.819 --> 01:35:23.699 don't have the stuff to make your own shandy, 01:35:23.779 --> 01:35:26.279 but you have this in the fridge, this will do. 01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:29.159 This will definitely do. Yes, I agree. Yeah, 01:35:29.220 --> 01:35:33.359 this is... and it doesn't advertise as a, like, 01:35:33.420 --> 01:35:36.000 grapefruit shandy or anything. It's just an American 01:35:36.000 --> 01:35:38.649 pale ale, but I think low -key... You could call 01:35:38.649 --> 01:35:41.029 it grapefruit shandy. I think it's I don't know 01:35:41.029 --> 01:35:43.550 if it's the hops or if they add grapefruit peel 01:35:43.550 --> 01:35:46.949 or something. Yeah, but yeah that that is that 01:35:46.949 --> 01:35:50.369 is a I don't want to call it sweet, but semi 01:35:50.369 --> 01:35:54.460 sweet grapefruit juicy Ale. And I'm kind of a 01:35:54.460 --> 01:35:57.399 fan of the design on the can. It's very neat. 01:35:57.539 --> 01:35:59.560 I like looking at a lot of these, especially 01:35:59.560 --> 01:36:02.680 when you're talking about micro brews or your 01:36:02.680 --> 01:36:05.060 local breweries, anything like that, when they 01:36:05.060 --> 01:36:06.859 come up with some of this design. So Half Acre 01:36:06.859 --> 01:36:11.619 is based out of Chicago, I believe. And this 01:36:11.619 --> 01:36:14.880 slow melt, like if I'm having some gummies right 01:36:14.880 --> 01:36:18.899 now, this. This design's gonna, it's gonna trip 01:36:18.899 --> 01:36:22.100 me out a little bit. The can art is like psychedelic 01:36:22.100 --> 01:36:25.859 candle melting butterfly eyeballs. No doubt. 01:36:26.300 --> 01:36:28.819 And the fun part is a lot of times with these 01:36:28.819 --> 01:36:31.319 micro breweries, they will find a local artist 01:36:31.319 --> 01:36:34.840 to make these can designs for them. Okay. And 01:36:34.840 --> 01:36:38.739 that's super fun. It really is. I love the design 01:36:38.739 --> 01:36:42.000 on this. Like, ultimately, it makes no sense 01:36:42.000 --> 01:36:44.460 to me. Other than it says slow melt, then there's 01:36:44.460 --> 01:36:48.199 this melting candle. Right. And these butterflies, 01:36:48.220 --> 01:36:50.420 apparently, that have these eyeballs look like 01:36:50.420 --> 01:36:52.460 an eye of Horus thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I dig 01:36:52.460 --> 01:36:55.800 it. It's really cool. Very neat. I enjoy it. 01:36:56.000 --> 01:36:58.659 I like its citrus, grapefruit -y background. 01:36:58.939 --> 01:37:02.380 Definitely. I like the fact that it's full -bodied, 01:37:02.439 --> 01:37:06.399 but it's not overwhelming. Yep. It's hoppy, but 01:37:06.399 --> 01:37:09.640 not overly hoppy. No, there's not much bitterness 01:37:09.640 --> 01:37:13.819 at all. I'm giving that a 3 .5 out of 5. I'm 01:37:13.819 --> 01:37:16.800 going to surprise you. I went with a 3 .75. 3 01:37:16.800 --> 01:37:19.840 .75, nice. Which I don't have a lot of beers 01:37:19.840 --> 01:37:24.220 in the fours. So this was something to get me 01:37:24.220 --> 01:37:27.140 to this point. I was almost at that point like, 01:37:27.300 --> 01:37:30.260 is it a four? And I was like, it was close. Yes. 01:37:30.300 --> 01:37:32.119 It was definitely close. That definitely says 01:37:32.119 --> 01:37:35.520 something. Well, outstanding selection. This 01:37:35.520 --> 01:37:39.420 is once again, Slow Melt Pale Ale from Half Acre. 01:37:39.579 --> 01:37:42.239 Go out and get some. We're not sponsored, but 01:37:42.239 --> 01:37:44.640 we do recommend it. We do definitely recommend 01:37:44.640 --> 01:37:47.899 it, which then brings us to our final bit for 01:37:47.899 --> 01:37:53.079 the for the show. We did American sports franchises. 01:37:53.319 --> 01:38:00.239 So we did a part one and we are now on to a part 01:38:00.239 --> 01:38:05.340 two. And sometimes there are. I don't know some 01:38:05.340 --> 01:38:07.899 of these like the list can just get too big. 01:38:08.359 --> 01:38:10.560 Sure. So you break them up a little bit. And 01:38:10.560 --> 01:38:14.060 I think this was fair to break this one up. American 01:38:14.060 --> 01:38:17.439 sports franchises. And I made it clear it's American 01:38:17.439 --> 01:38:21.460 because... To be fair, you have like German soccer 01:38:21.460 --> 01:38:25.560 leagues, bare Munich, and Italiano, and Spain, 01:38:26.199 --> 01:38:27.939 and you have Premier League, and you have a lot 01:38:27.939 --> 01:38:30.140 of other stuff out there. So we wanted to be 01:38:30.140 --> 01:38:32.119 fair because we included all that, oh lord. You've 01:38:32.119 --> 01:38:33.939 got the Australian rugby, you've got Australian 01:38:33.939 --> 01:38:37.460 football, you've got Irish rugby. Oh yeah, I 01:38:37.460 --> 01:38:39.819 mean it would be too much. At some point maybe 01:38:39.819 --> 01:38:43.720 we'll do a tier list that includes... other more 01:38:43.720 --> 01:38:47.119 international. We could even do sports as a tier 01:38:47.119 --> 01:38:49.979 listing. We could. We could do that. That could 01:38:49.979 --> 01:38:51.619 be fun. That could definitely be fun. Because 01:38:51.619 --> 01:38:54.119 by the way, Australian football looks really 01:38:54.119 --> 01:38:58.020 cool. It looks awesome. It looks amazing. And 01:38:58.020 --> 01:39:01.819 so the tier listing we've been doing, just as 01:39:01.819 --> 01:39:05.180 a break because like these last segments, normally 01:39:05.180 --> 01:39:07.800 World of Weird News... Wait, let me do that properly. 01:39:08.199 --> 01:39:11.960 World of Weird News! That usually occupies the 01:39:11.960 --> 01:39:14.180 final spot. Sure. But sometimes we switch it 01:39:14.180 --> 01:39:15.720 out and we do some different stuff. Keep it fresh. 01:39:15.979 --> 01:39:20.720 Keep it fresh. For Breeze Brothers. Fresh start. 01:39:20.800 --> 01:39:23.020 Fresh start. It's the last one. Last one, Alan. 01:39:23.800 --> 01:39:28.199 So we're now into part two. So here we go. We 01:39:28.199 --> 01:39:30.220 have just enough time. We'll do a little back 01:39:30.220 --> 01:39:33.140 and forth on this and we'll grade it out and 01:39:33.140 --> 01:39:36.729 maybe... time allowing. We will kind of just 01:39:36.729 --> 01:39:38.949 refresh our grades from last week. Yes. And then 01:39:38.949 --> 01:39:42.829 this. Absolutely. And I have this format where 01:39:42.829 --> 01:39:46.489 I put it on the socials. I have the last one 01:39:46.489 --> 01:39:48.510 that we did, the last tier listing. I already 01:39:48.510 --> 01:39:53.170 have that broken down in a graphic. So I'm going 01:39:53.170 --> 01:39:54.909 to start posting these online because I just 01:39:54.909 --> 01:39:57.949 think they're fun. Yes, absolutely. So here we 01:39:57.949 --> 01:40:01.569 go. This is American Sports Franchises Part 2. 01:40:01.600 --> 01:40:04.520 Yes, this is tier listing. Tier listing. Which 01:40:04.520 --> 01:40:08.939 is kind of an AK -209 we did years, well, not 01:40:08.939 --> 01:40:11.560 years ago, but about a year ago we started it. 01:40:11.840 --> 01:40:14.960 And it goes from F being the worst of the worst. 01:40:15.020 --> 01:40:18.359 Fail. Of the worst tier. D being bad. C being 01:40:18.359 --> 01:40:23.159 mid. Mid. B being good. A being great. S being 01:40:23.159 --> 01:40:27.539 the best of the best. Of the best. And that's 01:40:27.539 --> 01:40:29.520 how we rank them. That's how we rank them. So 01:40:29.520 --> 01:40:32.840 we're going to start right away. The New York 01:40:32.840 --> 01:40:35.600 Giants football club. Oh, New York Giants. I 01:40:35.600 --> 01:40:38.119 love me some Eli Manning. I love that they beat 01:40:38.119 --> 01:40:42.439 Tom Brady's bitch ass. But as a franchise, they're 01:40:42.439 --> 01:40:46.220 not fantastic. I would give them a B minus just 01:40:46.220 --> 01:40:49.699 because I'm biased. I'm going to say they're 01:40:49.699 --> 01:40:55.630 kind of m -m -m -mid. I would say C plus. Could 01:40:55.630 --> 01:40:58.750 go c -plus with you go c -plus. Yeah, I mean 01:40:58.750 --> 01:41:03.970 how the hell Do you trade Saquon Barkley? That's 01:41:03.970 --> 01:41:07.729 so true. Oh my gosh fumbled Saquon as a fumble. 01:41:07.729 --> 01:41:10.710 That's a major fumble and that's a great analogy 01:41:10.710 --> 01:41:15.210 by You should use that sports out the Carolina 01:41:15.210 --> 01:41:18.909 hurricane currently in the playoffs, you know, 01:41:18.909 --> 01:41:24.229 you know, are they but the individuals who killed 01:41:24.409 --> 01:41:28.130 The Hartford Whalers? They're the guys. I love 01:41:28.130 --> 01:41:31.210 the whale. Yeah, I'm a big Hartford Whalers guy. 01:41:31.890 --> 01:41:34.489 I've always supported them. I know whaling is 01:41:34.489 --> 01:41:36.250 bad, okay? You don't have to tell me that. I 01:41:36.250 --> 01:41:37.630 know whaling is bad, but the Hartford - But I 01:41:37.630 --> 01:41:38.890 don't think that's what they're promoting. No, 01:41:39.010 --> 01:41:42.949 the Hartford Whalers as a team, the color scheme, 01:41:43.250 --> 01:41:45.949 the vibe - That's so good. Being out of Hartford, 01:41:46.130 --> 01:41:48.590 bro - Right. Is so much better than, I don't 01:41:48.590 --> 01:41:50.409 know, where are the Carolina Hurricanes? Yeah, 01:41:50.510 --> 01:41:53.000 what do hurricanes do? They - kill and displace 01:41:53.000 --> 01:41:57.020 people, so fuck you. Hartford whalers, I'd give 01:41:57.020 --> 01:42:01.739 an A. The Carolina Hurricanes, C. So you're splitting 01:42:01.739 --> 01:42:05.479 the difference? C, you wanna? Split the difference, 01:42:05.640 --> 01:42:08.199 I mean the whalers were A, they're C, do we say 01:42:08.199 --> 01:42:10.800 B? Do we say B even? I think we do. Perhaps we 01:42:10.800 --> 01:42:13.380 could go B even. I think it's fair. On the Hurricanes. 01:42:13.659 --> 01:42:17.140 That's fair. The Atlanta Braves, the Bravos. 01:42:17.560 --> 01:42:21.050 The ol' Bravos, Atlanta. Atlanta doesn't really 01:42:21.050 --> 01:42:24.609 win a lot of things. I think the best Georgia 01:42:24.609 --> 01:42:30.170 sports are college athletics. But the Braves 01:42:30.170 --> 01:42:33.329 have always been a strong... Boys been they've 01:42:33.329 --> 01:42:35.630 always had a strong team good and of course they 01:42:35.630 --> 01:42:37.829 were stupid left Freddie Freeman go How the hell 01:42:37.829 --> 01:42:40.569 do that was dumb that was done? I was dumb But 01:42:40.569 --> 01:42:43.210 for somehow for some reason all the good players 01:42:43.210 --> 01:42:46.329 go to fucking Los Angeles right la is like yeah 01:42:46.329 --> 01:42:49.069 money Yeah, like mr. Krabs running a baseball 01:42:49.069 --> 01:42:52.550 team money. Did you open up a second Krusty Krab 01:42:52.550 --> 01:42:59.739 money? You know, I like the Braves as a franchise. 01:42:59.920 --> 01:43:02.460 I think they've always been strong. I think they're, 01:43:02.619 --> 01:43:04.300 except for the Freeman trade, I think they're 01:43:04.300 --> 01:43:07.119 quite level -headed. Maddox, Smoltz, and Glavin. 01:43:07.739 --> 01:43:10.239 Dude. I mean, I can't remember any other rotations 01:43:10.239 --> 01:43:12.439 that have had three aces in it before. That's 01:43:12.439 --> 01:43:15.800 nuts. That's insane. That's nuts. Yep. A for 01:43:15.800 --> 01:43:18.579 Atlanta? I think it's an A. It's an A for Atlanta. 01:43:18.819 --> 01:43:20.939 I think it's an A. Congrats, bros. You've earned 01:43:20.939 --> 01:43:24.600 it. You definitely earned it. This is one that's 01:43:24.600 --> 01:43:29.680 tough. Chicago Bulls. Oh, fuck, dude. Because 01:43:29.680 --> 01:43:33.199 what are their team three peets twice? Right. 01:43:33.340 --> 01:43:37.220 And had he not stepped away from the game, that's 01:43:37.220 --> 01:43:39.840 eight. Yeah. That's eight in a row. Right. That's 01:43:39.840 --> 01:43:43.500 Boston Celtic shit. Yeah. That just doesn't happen. 01:43:44.000 --> 01:43:46.640 That just doesn't happen. I mean, you've got 01:43:46.640 --> 01:43:48.840 the All -Stars. You've got Pippen. You've got 01:43:48.840 --> 01:43:51.439 Jordan. You've got everyone that surrounded them. 01:43:52.819 --> 01:43:56.000 then they just fall off a cliff. Right. The last 01:43:56.000 --> 01:43:58.140 25 years, you've had like three good seasons. 01:43:58.300 --> 01:44:00.600 Who owns them? Oh, that's right. The Chicago 01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:04.340 White Sox guy. Yep. Yep. And they fucking suck. 01:44:04.920 --> 01:44:09.859 So should you take the past into consideration? 01:44:10.239 --> 01:44:12.920 Grade on the overall... Right. I think absolutely 01:44:12.920 --> 01:44:16.779 you do. And I think that era of the Bulls is 01:44:16.779 --> 01:44:19.340 S -tier. I think that decade... Oh, for sure. 01:44:19.460 --> 01:44:21.859 That decade of the Bulls is S -tier. They own 01:44:21.859 --> 01:44:25.810 the decade. And I think everything around that 01:44:25.810 --> 01:44:31.329 has been arguably C. Arguably C. C may be C minus. 01:44:31.510 --> 01:44:35.329 Yeah. And I think, granted, their logo, their 01:44:35.329 --> 01:44:38.850 color scheme is wonderful. It's excellent. So 01:44:38.850 --> 01:44:40.869 you split the difference. You're talking somewhere 01:44:40.869 --> 01:44:44.130 between B and A. I think their style alone gets 01:44:44.130 --> 01:44:48.729 them somewhere A tier. I could go A minus. Due 01:44:48.729 --> 01:44:53.989 to... Lack of playoff success? I'd probably say 01:44:53.989 --> 01:44:59.250 B+. B+. That's fine. Yeah, yeah. I think their 01:44:59.250 --> 01:45:02.350 recent failures have earned them not A tier. 01:45:02.590 --> 01:45:05.590 Right. Although, to be fair, they have these 01:45:05.590 --> 01:45:07.529 young guys now and they really picked up steam 01:45:07.529 --> 01:45:10.449 at the end of the year. I have a feeling they're 01:45:10.449 --> 01:45:12.970 making a turn. Like, I think something good's 01:45:12.970 --> 01:45:15.050 coming. Right. But I thought that once before. 01:45:15.289 --> 01:45:17.109 That's true. Where they had what they had, they 01:45:17.109 --> 01:45:21.439 had Ben... Was it Ben Johnson? It was... Yoki, 01:45:21.439 --> 01:45:27.239 Noah it was Kirk Heinrich like that team Derek 01:45:27.239 --> 01:45:29.340 Rose like it looked like that team was gonna 01:45:29.340 --> 01:45:31.840 win something right right like oh, that's what 01:45:31.840 --> 01:45:33.779 we were waiting for and then they were really 01:45:33.779 --> 01:45:35.960 good and they got to like an Easter Eastern conference 01:45:35.960 --> 01:45:40.340 final and then yeah, nothing like holy shit that 01:45:40.340 --> 01:45:43.579 side with most of these franchises as our fruits 01:45:43.579 --> 01:45:46.800 or vegetables You become rotten from the top 01:45:46.800 --> 01:45:49.140 down. Yes, correct. You become rotten from the 01:45:49.140 --> 01:45:53.130 top down. So Mean as as bias as I want to be 01:45:53.130 --> 01:45:56.409 to give you a it's got to be B plus Denver Broncos 01:45:56.409 --> 01:46:00.770 ah you'll Broncos You've got the Elway era you've 01:46:00.770 --> 01:46:03.130 got a manning. Yes, you do and you've got all 01:46:03.130 --> 01:46:04.989 the weird things that happened in between But 01:46:04.989 --> 01:46:07.010 we don't talk about it, but we got good stuff 01:46:07.010 --> 01:46:13.149 have now is copayton. So man I I My bias is saying 01:46:13.149 --> 01:46:17.600 a plus my heart is saying a Because they've been 01:46:17.600 --> 01:46:20.779 fantastic. They've gotten their rings, right? 01:46:20.800 --> 01:46:24.640 They've had their successes. I Just what negative 01:46:24.640 --> 01:46:26.520 things can you say about the Broncos? Not too 01:46:26.520 --> 01:46:29.380 many. I mean, you've got that weird Russell Wilson 01:46:29.380 --> 01:46:32.899 thing that happened In the right ears, but yeah 01:46:32.899 --> 01:46:35.619 Russ just has that weird thing about him. Yeah, 01:46:35.800 --> 01:46:40.520 he does indeed So a I I want to go a plus. I 01:46:40.520 --> 01:46:45.199 feel like they're close to s level But just due 01:46:45.199 --> 01:46:48.420 to a couple of wonky periods in there It's enough 01:46:48.420 --> 01:46:51.779 to just grade that down, but I like I'd go a 01:46:51.779 --> 01:46:54.159 plus. I'm thinking a plus I can agree with that 01:46:54.159 --> 01:46:57.479 for sure awesome. I love that We're now on to 01:46:57.479 --> 01:47:00.800 the Milwaukee Brewers all the Brewers. I have 01:47:00.800 --> 01:47:04.470 nothing against Milwaukee. I know Regionally 01:47:04.470 --> 01:47:07.789 speaking, they should be our rivals, being the 01:47:07.789 --> 01:47:10.750 Chicago Cubs fans we are. But they're really 01:47:10.750 --> 01:47:12.850 not our rivals. When I grew up, they were in 01:47:12.850 --> 01:47:15.409 the American League. They used to be against 01:47:15.409 --> 01:47:17.970 the White Sox. I used to love them. Right, right. 01:47:18.609 --> 01:47:22.310 Storman Gorman Thomas, and Harvey's wall bangers, 01:47:22.510 --> 01:47:25.729 and Paul Molitor, Robin Young. I love those dudes. 01:47:25.829 --> 01:47:29.989 They were great and came so close. Yes. And then 01:47:29.989 --> 01:47:32.869 like some of these like... Craig Council who's 01:47:32.869 --> 01:47:37.109 now the Cubs manager haha he was he was the Milwaukee 01:47:37.109 --> 01:47:42.909 guy. I have nothing against Milwaukee. No, I 01:47:42.909 --> 01:47:45.210 really don't. I love them as a team. I love that 01:47:45.210 --> 01:47:47.789 they turned the M into a mitt for their logo. 01:47:48.090 --> 01:47:50.270 It's so cool. I think that's fun and it's cute. 01:47:50.789 --> 01:47:53.529 And when they hit a home run, the little Milwaukee 01:47:53.529 --> 01:47:56.909 brewer guy sits at the top and he comes out of 01:47:56.909 --> 01:48:00.090 a beer can and slides down this slide. The whole 01:48:00.090 --> 01:48:03.649 thing is so cool. It's good. It's good. I want 01:48:03.649 --> 01:48:06.979 an A. I'll give you the A. I really will give 01:48:06.979 --> 01:48:10.460 you the A. Yes. Yeah, I am a Brewer fan. Toronto 01:48:10.460 --> 01:48:13.460 Maple Blue Leaves. Oh, the Maple Blue Leaves. 01:48:13.600 --> 01:48:16.199 If you're Canadian fans of our show, we love 01:48:16.199 --> 01:48:21.020 you guys. We really love your country. But... 01:48:21.020 --> 01:48:24.859 I envy your national health care. Oh, for sure. 01:48:25.000 --> 01:48:28.409 No shit. Uh, yeah, your blue leaves are not good. 01:48:28.550 --> 01:48:31.430 No, no, no. I can't remember a time in my life 01:48:31.430 --> 01:48:34.010 when they've been good. I can't remember a time 01:48:34.010 --> 01:48:36.470 in my father's life when he's conveyed to me 01:48:36.470 --> 01:48:39.310 that they've been good. Nope. Back in my day, 01:48:39.329 --> 01:48:41.989 they had Ty Domey. He used to fuck with my New 01:48:41.989 --> 01:48:44.270 Jersey Devils all the time. The Joy -Z Devils. 01:48:44.529 --> 01:48:46.789 And Scott Stephens was in the penalty box, and 01:48:46.789 --> 01:48:50.010 he boarded Niedermeyer so bad, and Scott Stephens 01:48:50.010 --> 01:48:52.510 grabs his stick and starts pounding the glass 01:48:52.510 --> 01:48:55.289 with his stick and looking at Domey like I'm 01:48:55.289 --> 01:48:58.079 going - kill you and you can read them like this 01:48:58.079 --> 01:49:00.319 is why I like oh yeah it's why I like hockey 01:49:00.319 --> 01:49:02.680 right here it's where people can fight legally 01:49:02.680 --> 01:49:07.420 right exactly I that they're not good now they've 01:49:07.420 --> 01:49:10.399 never been good I'm thinking C - you could argue 01:49:10.399 --> 01:49:13.899 D and I would take it I'll I'll give it C - just 01:49:13.899 --> 01:49:17.119 based on the fact they're in Canada it's a goddamn 01:49:17.119 --> 01:49:19.399 Canadian sport that's true so I'll give them 01:49:19.399 --> 01:49:22.020 the C - and they got kind of a cool logo that's 01:49:22.020 --> 01:49:26.189 true that's true Baltimore Orioles. I like the 01:49:26.189 --> 01:49:29.029 Orioles. They've had... Cool logo. Yes, cool 01:49:29.029 --> 01:49:33.130 logo, cool vibe. Baltimore as a sports city is 01:49:33.130 --> 01:49:38.109 admirable. I think they've struggled. In my lifetime, 01:49:38.170 --> 01:49:40.430 they've struggled. For sure. Recently, they've 01:49:40.430 --> 01:49:43.149 been kind of hot and cold, which I can appreciate. 01:49:43.310 --> 01:49:46.430 Some teams get like that. I don't know much about 01:49:46.430 --> 01:49:50.623 their ownership or management specifically, but... 01:49:50.619 --> 01:49:53.560 Kind of like I would say like B for Baltimore 01:49:53.560 --> 01:49:56.760 B for Baltimore. I agree with that. I was thinking 01:49:56.760 --> 01:50:00.399 BB minus. I'll go B Yeah, absolutely Chicago 01:50:00.399 --> 01:50:03.619 White Sox s plus the only reason they get the 01:50:03.619 --> 01:50:07.039 plus is like we won the fucking tears in oh five 01:50:07.039 --> 01:50:09.600 Okay, cool great. How long ago was that are you 01:50:09.600 --> 01:50:12.920 counting? Yeah, I give me a plus cuz they're 01:50:12.920 --> 01:50:15.220 on the South Side over by Rico Benny's my friend 01:50:15.220 --> 01:50:17.779 by the way Rico Benny's if you're in Chicago 01:50:17.779 --> 01:50:20.920 South Side 26th Street not sponsored not sponsored 01:50:20.920 --> 01:50:25.439 best sandwich Maybe ever breaded steak sandwich 01:50:25.439 --> 01:50:27.159 you can get the Sicilian beef you can get the 01:50:27.159 --> 01:50:30.170 chicken parm Great place. You get the Jardinère 01:50:30.170 --> 01:50:32.770 on the bread steak. Oh, dude. Holy. That's hot. 01:50:32.949 --> 01:50:35.029 That's hot. And they serve beer, too. Whew. They 01:50:35.029 --> 01:50:38.250 do. New Orleans Saints. The New Orleans Saints. 01:50:38.390 --> 01:50:40.510 Here's the thing. OK. You've got the Breeze era. 01:50:40.869 --> 01:50:43.189 That's true. You've got the Breeze era. And that's 01:50:43.189 --> 01:50:46.090 fantastic. Drew Brees, fantastic quarterback. 01:50:46.329 --> 01:50:49.949 Really short cry. But here's the thing. The New 01:50:49.949 --> 01:50:54.229 Orleans Saints. and the Chicago Bears are not 01:50:54.229 --> 01:50:58.010 direct rivals. They are not. But they have some 01:50:58.010 --> 01:51:02.409 of the most chippy, dirty battles I've ever seen 01:51:02.409 --> 01:51:07.859 in the NFL. Second only. to Chicago versus Green 01:51:07.859 --> 01:51:10.159 Bay. I would agree. The New Orleans Saints are 01:51:10.159 --> 01:51:12.899 just, and you could blame this on Sean Payton, 01:51:13.039 --> 01:51:14.800 because there is the whole... Oh, that whole 01:51:14.800 --> 01:51:17.239 thing. That whole thing. But the New Orleans 01:51:17.239 --> 01:51:20.119 Saints, you sons of bitches, I like you, but 01:51:20.119 --> 01:51:23.920 I really hate you. Uh -huh. So I'm, granted, 01:51:24.000 --> 01:51:26.220 they've just been good. They always find a way 01:51:26.220 --> 01:51:29.659 to be okay. At least decent, yeah. So maybe they're 01:51:29.659 --> 01:51:34.000 ma -ma -ma -mid. I'm thinking maybe C+. C +, 01:51:34.000 --> 01:51:37.260 I'll do that. I'm totally good doing that. Pittsburgh 01:51:37.260 --> 01:51:41.800 Penguins. Penguins? Just let Sib and Crosby retire. 01:51:42.239 --> 01:51:45.699 So much talent to just be mid. It's crazy. How 01:51:45.699 --> 01:51:48.220 do you have all of this talent and all of the 01:51:48.220 --> 01:51:51.739 talent goes otherwise and does better? Yes. How 01:51:51.739 --> 01:51:54.960 can you manage that? Granted, what do they have? 01:51:55.039 --> 01:51:58.390 Three and six years? That's it. All of that talent, 01:51:58.569 --> 01:52:00.770 you should have had five and six years. You should 01:52:00.770 --> 01:52:04.250 have been that dynasty. You should have been 01:52:04.250 --> 01:52:06.390 that dynasty. You found a way to fumble it every 01:52:06.390 --> 01:52:09.590 time. As far as a sports city goes, Pittsburgh 01:52:09.590 --> 01:52:11.989 is phenomenal for having such a low population. 01:52:11.989 --> 01:52:15.210 Oh, for sure. Oh, yeah, love it. They are. I 01:52:15.210 --> 01:52:18.170 like the Penguins. I root for the Penguins. I 01:52:18.170 --> 01:52:21.489 have nothing against them. I just, they're just, 01:52:21.489 --> 01:52:24.689 they don't click. They don't click. B minus maybe? 01:52:26.069 --> 01:52:30.449 I'll go C+. C+. C+. is fair. Pittsburgh Penguins. 01:52:30.810 --> 01:52:32.510 Yep. Maybe get some more dubs, then we'll talk. 01:52:33.029 --> 01:52:36.550 Absolutely. Jacksonville Jaguars. Oh, the Jags. 01:52:37.189 --> 01:52:39.890 They... I always root for underdogs because I 01:52:39.890 --> 01:52:42.270 love seeing upsets. It just kind of warms my 01:52:42.270 --> 01:52:45.270 heart seeing the big guy fail. Maybe that's my 01:52:45.270 --> 01:52:47.810 own hatred against capitalism seeping in, but 01:52:47.810 --> 01:52:50.529 the Jags have just never been good and they've 01:52:50.529 --> 01:52:52.850 got these weird issues with the owner and the 01:52:52.850 --> 01:52:56.420 owner owns other... AEW wrestling and all sorts 01:52:56.420 --> 01:52:59.659 of crazy shit. What are you doing? That just 01:52:59.659 --> 01:53:04.359 ain't it. That just ain't it, brother. And of 01:53:04.359 --> 01:53:08.220 course Trev, right? Trev Lor. My man. I know. 01:53:08.399 --> 01:53:10.380 What's he doing? I don't know. Apparently not 01:53:10.380 --> 01:53:14.319 succeeding. Nope. That's a D. That's a D. I love 01:53:14.319 --> 01:53:15.800 that. Down the middle. I'm glad you did that. 01:53:16.079 --> 01:53:17.439 I thought you were gonna be in the C area and 01:53:17.439 --> 01:53:19.300 I would have to talk you down. I love that. You 01:53:19.300 --> 01:53:21.199 don't have to talk me down to shit. Pittsburgh 01:53:21.199 --> 01:53:24.649 Steelers. Well, the thing is... See, I love Coach 01:53:24.649 --> 01:53:28.390 Tomlin. AKA Foreman, if you're a house fan. Yeah, 01:53:28.670 --> 01:53:32.069 exactly. M .D. House. House M .D., rather. But 01:53:32.069 --> 01:53:35.710 I like the Steelers because the Steelers have 01:53:35.710 --> 01:53:40.029 never been in competition with the Bears or Broncos 01:53:40.029 --> 01:53:43.670 directly. Correct. And I like the Steelers. As 01:53:43.670 --> 01:53:46.630 a third team, I like the Steelers. They had the 01:53:46.630 --> 01:53:49.250 whole Bradshaw era. Then they had the Ben Roethlisberg 01:53:49.250 --> 01:53:51.729 era. The Ben Roethlisberger era kind of got... 01:53:51.630 --> 01:53:56.449 Tainted yeah, because of his dog shittery. Yes 01:53:56.449 --> 01:53:59.229 But they've always been good you want to talk 01:53:59.229 --> 01:54:02.010 Mike Tomlin era they Mike Tomlin's never been 01:54:02.010 --> 01:54:05.229 under 500 Nope, you want to talk about a good 01:54:05.229 --> 01:54:08.250 sports fan franchise. It's the Pittsburgh Steel 01:54:08.250 --> 01:54:11.409 It's an iron curtain, right? It is. Yeah, this 01:54:11.409 --> 01:54:14.250 is a territory for me I'll let you determine 01:54:14.250 --> 01:54:17.329 what to do with a solid a solid a solid. I love 01:54:17.329 --> 01:54:22.840 it Chicago Bears I Great history. Yeah, great 01:54:22.840 --> 01:54:25.640 history. Most Hall of Famers. Yeah, most Hall 01:54:25.640 --> 01:54:29.500 of Famers, detailed history, nine NFL championships, 01:54:29.760 --> 01:54:32.060 if I remember right. More than that, 11 if you're 01:54:32.060 --> 01:54:33.939 counting championships versus Super Bowl. Sure. 01:54:34.359 --> 01:54:37.899 I think it's 11. Yeah, so you got that plus the 01:54:37.899 --> 01:54:41.500 one 1985 Super Bowl. Yep. And then you just have 01:54:41.500 --> 01:54:44.960 the... dogshit era. Yeah, 2006 with Erlacher 01:54:44.960 --> 01:54:48.000 and Briggs and Brown and all those guys. Great 01:54:48.000 --> 01:54:49.659 team, like, I feel like they should have won 01:54:49.659 --> 01:54:51.560 three Super Bowls with that team. Yes, they should 01:54:51.560 --> 01:54:53.539 have. And because they had a shit quarterback, 01:54:53.760 --> 01:54:55.739 they never did it. You've got Rex Grossman, you've 01:54:55.739 --> 01:54:59.079 got Kyle Orton, you've got these shows. Mid -ass 01:54:59.079 --> 01:55:01.739 fucking quarterbacks. Oh my god. And then all 01:55:01.739 --> 01:55:05.260 the GMs that never drafted anyone good. I mean, 01:55:05.520 --> 01:55:11.090 I'm... I'm talking C+. Yep. I'm fine with that. 01:55:11.170 --> 01:55:13.989 I'm fine with that. Their history is great. Recent 01:55:13.989 --> 01:55:16.850 history not great. New England Patriots, that's 01:55:16.850 --> 01:55:20.550 a great franchise. A +, I mean... You can hate 01:55:20.550 --> 01:55:23.729 them if you want, but... Right. Tom Brady was 01:55:23.729 --> 01:55:28.270 a complainer, but they just won. Yeah. They just 01:55:28.270 --> 01:55:31.310 won. Now you got Zappy and those homies, and 01:55:31.310 --> 01:55:34.109 they still fighting away. Yeah, oh yeah. Oh yeah. 01:55:34.909 --> 01:55:38.909 Last one. San Diego Padres. I like the Padres. 01:55:38.909 --> 01:55:41.250 I love the Padres. I like the Padres. They're 01:55:41.250 --> 01:55:45.609 like, they're fantastic. But sometimes they just 01:55:45.609 --> 01:55:47.989 miss something and they're in a good division 01:55:47.989 --> 01:55:51.369 too. It's like, I like the Padres. They've been 01:55:51.369 --> 01:55:54.970 fantastic. I'm thinking that's either B +, you're 01:55:54.970 --> 01:55:58.180 talking A territory. I would say B +, just because 01:55:58.180 --> 01:56:01.380 there's no World Series there. Okay, fair. They 01:56:01.380 --> 01:56:05.680 lost to Detroit, god, 84? And they might have 01:56:05.680 --> 01:56:08.739 lost one other one there too, but other than 01:56:08.739 --> 01:56:10.539 that, I mean, like, they've been competitive 01:56:10.539 --> 01:56:12.680 lately. I feel like they're gonna be good this 01:56:12.680 --> 01:56:13.939 year. Of course, they're gonna fall short to 01:56:13.939 --> 01:56:17.100 the Cubs, but that being the case, I love their 01:56:17.100 --> 01:56:19.560 stadium. I love their logo. I love their vibe. 01:56:19.680 --> 01:56:23.460 I think they have a good team. B+. B +, I can 01:56:23.460 --> 01:56:26.119 agree with. B plus. All right, that concludes 01:56:26.119 --> 01:56:30.880 this week's tier listing. Giants C plus. Carolina 01:56:30.880 --> 01:56:33.939 Hurricane B. Atlanta Braves A.
