Hey, what's up, everyone? Welcome to our season
three premiere of the Mark Mo show. I am Mark
Maloney. I am your host of this wonderful podcast
that you are listening to. And to my left. Or
to your right, like if you're standing across
from it, no, he'd still be, he'd be to your right.
It's like stage right. Be stage right. Right.
But... No, stage left, camera right. Camera right.
Right, yeah. That's right. Yeah. Got it. Anyway,
right next to me is my co -host, AK219, Aidan,
spelled the right way, found on YouTube. Aidan
Maloney, how you doing? Feeling fantastic. That's
good. Very energized and prepared. for a good
Mark Mo show this morning. It is morning for
us. It is morning. Which is pretty atypical,
but there's this little thing going on in town,
so your evenings are a little preoccupied. Depending
where you are. Now, outside of the United States,
I don't know if the rest of the globe does fairs.
Now, I'm not talking about like... festivals
and stuff. I know everybody does that. Yeah.
But it's like we have what's called county fairs.
Right. So whatever county you're in has a fair.
And it's usually rural based so it has to do
with like farming and so you see a lot of tractors
and 4 -H stuff once again I don't know if that's
global but 4 -H is something where kids they
grow corn and broccoli and they do projects and
photography and all sorts of stuff like that
and then people do displays of animals so you
see like cattle and you see oh gosh Oh, I think
they they actually have dairy cows and like the
dairy cows like sometimes they give birth. It's
crazy stuff. But anyway, it's called the county
fair and we are in Indiana and it's Porter County
Fair and we usually record this podcast on Friday
nights. And it was not the case because I actually
work part time at the fair doing security and
and it's a lot of fun. It does seem very fun.
You get to see the shows for free. You do. And
for anyone unfamiliar, it's not just 4 -H, although
that is a big part of it where, like, kind of
skills competitions, but it's also, like, cooperative
teaching, kind of, is the basis of 4 -H. But
then the other half of it is, like, a true amusement
fair. You know, you've got Ferris wheels, little
rides. They do shows nightly. Yeah. Little derbies
and whatnot. That's right. Yeah, crash up derby.
The one that's like in the big figure eight with
buses just killed me. And last year, one of the
guys that runs the ushers and security and all
that kind of stuff, his name's Greg Sims, and
he also is an on -air personality at the local
radio station. And... We were sitting there and
he's like, oh yeah, I got to do content for this
week, but my, you know, my cohost hasn't been
available in this and that. And I said, do you
have your recording device? And he says, yes.
And I said, well then let's do play by play of
this figure eight bus thing. And he's like, really?
I'm like, yeah, why not? And so. It was amazing.
It was hilarious. I was definitely the foil.
I'm sure. And it's just it's my sweet spot. And
so it was just so much fun. You know, there are
some buses we just continually made fun of running
jokes and all that kind of stuff. And there was
one that was like a lot of them are decorated
or painted and different things and whatever.
And there's this one that just looked like someone
grabbed a bus off the schoolyard or it is like,
yeah, so if you're in school districts, so on
and so forth. You are missing a bus. It is here
at the Crash Up Derby. So you might want to come
down to the Portico. We've got your guy. We've
got your guy. We've got your bus. Come on down
and get it before it gets completely wrecked.
That's a good bet. It was a good bet. And so
it was so much fun doing that. I don't know if
we'll do it again this year. But we had a lot
of fun. We definitely had a lot of fun doing
it. Yeah, so my Friday night was busy. So we
are here on a Saturday morning when usually all
of our content is released. So it'll probably
be released a little bit later today. But at
any rate, yeah, that's what's going on. I don't
know, once again, if other countries, because
not everybody has counties. They probably call
them different things. Sure. Yeah. But perhaps
you guys have fairs and things like that. Yeah.
And I know that county fairs aren't the only
type of fair. You've got ren fairs. You've got
other types of festivals and gatherings. They're
probably similar. Similar, right. But yeah, it's
just kind of a unique one for us in the Midwest,
Chicago land and air quotes. Oh, for sure. Yeah,
exactly. And the cool thing about it is no matter
your county, how large or small it is, and I
mean that by population, it's an opportunity
for More significant musical acts to kind of
write your town that would never normally do
that, right? So we had ludicrous this year. We
had Nelly last year. There's a country band called
Old Dominion I'm not a big country guy, but I
guess they're pretty significant band sure And
they were actually good like, you know, I'm not
a country fan but just as far as musicianship
and how the lead singer Sounded like all of that
was good. So I was like, I can't be critical.
Right. They put on a show and jelly roll. Yeah,
was there two years right before he broke? Yeah,
that's right right before he broke so People
got a sneak peek. They got a sneak peek at the
roll. Yeah But anyway, yeah, so hopefully wherever
you're at in this world, I think there's another
adjoining county that has theirs This week. I
think it might be La Porte and I think Lake counties
in a couple weeks. Yeah. Yep It's fun. You can
kind of bounce around and go to some different
fairs. Yes sample fair food all the you pretty
much have to take out a financial loan to get
fare for this year, it's so stupid. Oh, yeah,
it's absurd. And it's usually pricey, right?
Like, typically, you go to the fair, you're gonna
be spending a pretty penny if you wanna grab
a full lunch, which of course you do, it's the
fair. But, it's nuts. Yeah, it's just too much.
It's you go by there's this one called the chuck
wagon and they have like the potatoes and the
onions and the in the meat and the It's just
it's so good the meat and potatoes meat potatoes,
man. What more do you need in life? I'm right.
So Typically god I could remember when like it's
called all the fixins and they just put everything
like in a big bowl And it's delicious and I got
I swore to god last year was 14 bucks or 15 bucks
or something like that There's 20 bones this
year. I'm like that is highly inflated. Yeah.
So I'm not... It's a bit much. Yeah. And I don't...
The crowds haven't been very big at the fair.
So I don't know if it's getting around that it's
like, hey man, this crap is getting expensive.
Right, right. You know, if people are going to
spend 20 bones, it'd be like, I can go to Hooters
and grab dinner for 20 bucks, or I can go to
B -dubs, or I can go to one of the other restaurants
in town. Yeah. Or they're pre -gaming food. and
then show up and let the kids ride on the rides
and whatnot, so they don't have to spend $100
feeding four people. Right. Because the kids
are going to go there, oh, I want the deep fried
Oreo. I want this. I want that. Can I get a licorice?
Can I get cotton candy? And now you're in it
for $100. Right. And you're just like, where
the hell did that money go? Yeah. Yeah. So as
great and fun as those things are, they're really...
I think they're really pricing out just kind
of your average people. Yeah. Who used to be
able to go there and sample some fair food for
like 10, 12, 15 bucks or something. It's unfortunate
because there is something special about fair
food. I know, right? It's kind of like, it's
one of those things that can easily be forgotten
because you only eat it once or twice a year,
you know? So a single dish being... 2000 calories
alone. Yeah, it's not gonna kill you because
it's something you only get once or twice a year
exactly and now Maybe you don't get it at all
and that kind of blows it does it does you know
because like you said There's just stuff there.
You normally don't get like that. There's this
one place I think that had like a bacon cheeseburger
on a glazed donut where else in the world Are
you gonna get that but then I'm sitting there
going? I would like a bite. Right. Yeah. Maybe
two. I don't want to spend 25 bones on something
that I'm unsure of. Exactly. Yeah, that's perfect.
I'm adventurous, but I'm not adventurous on my
own dime, OK? That's fair. That is totally fair.
But any rate, yeah, so. The Mark Mo Show. We
produce new content weekly. And we're on all
podcast platforms. We're on YouTube. I do some
one -off interviews called The Mark Mo Show Fireside
Chats. So if you go like to YouTube or any of
the podcast platforms, you'll see them. They
maybe look a little different or worded a little
different, but. Those are like interviews so
far with local people but like I know people
in Chicago and outside of the Midwest that are
kind of interested in coming on and having a
conversation so We may be expanding that or maybe
even making its own thing. We'll have to kind
of determine as things grow and change as anyone
has to. Sure. Right. Certainly. We'll see how
that goes. But that's been fun as well. And if
you like this show, check out my radio show.
It's called After Hours. You can find the stream
at WVLP .org or the tune in app on your handheld
device. I hear if you yell at Alexa and say play
it, she might. Depends what kind of mood she's
in maybe. That's true. I think that's fair. Yeah,
these AI's are becoming a little too sentient.
Oh, yes, for sure. Alexa over there in the corner.
I don't feel like it. Clay, after hours on WVLP,
please. It's like, I just don't want to. Hi,
Aidan. I don't think I'd like to listen to that
tonight. How about some smooth jazz? Is that
a Hal reference? I think that is a Hal reference.
That's crazy. That is definitely a Hal reference.
But Hal was the precursor to what we had going
on. Oh, it's a matter of time, hey. Just a matter
of time before we get to iRobot. Yep. Jesus.
That's what's going to happen. It even took place
in Chicago. Indeed it did. So after hours is
two hours on Erupted, Celtic punk and alt rock,
mostly. Every Tuesday night at 9 PM Central.
and Friday at 4 p .m. Central Standard Time.
You should also check out Guys Being Dudes, they
have quite a catalog online, Guys Being Dudes
AK219 with Aiden. And he has, the stuff he's
doing currently is Aiden Spelled the Right Way,
which is gaming content. It is... Bridge building
it is making these crazy airplanes so fun. Yeah,
just fun Geo guesser is an absolute blast and
then all of the Horror movie game Contest I mean
it's just it's really it's really cool. It is
a wonderful time I I mean it's one of those things
where it would be really cool if it eventually
turned into something that you know makes money
could end up being a career But as of right now,
I'm still loving the hell out of it. Like, being
able to entertain and play video games, even
unpaid, is a wonderful privilege, and I have
a lot of fun with it. It really is, and they...
And I kind of believe this, it took me a while
to get there, but a lot of people always say,
you know, if you love what you do, if you can
make your hobby your job... What more could you
ask for? Right. Right. Exactly. You know, because
so many of us just do jobs. They're just jobs.
It's, you know, passionate about it. You don't
love it. You don't hate it. It's just kind of
there. Yeah. Something you do for eight or nine
hours a day and you get the hell out of it. Right.
But if you can just show up and have that freedom
to do the things you like to do and then check
your account and see that some money bounced
in there, that's a good feeling. It is a good
feeling. Yeah. And we appreciate all you for
helping us do that. Yes. Absolutely. Yeah, there's
no doubt. So check out Aidan's content. Check
out mine. We would greatly appreciate it. I'm
super excited to start season three with Aidan.
Doing this podcast is one of the few joys in
my life without question. We put our heart and
soul into this stuff. And so we hope you enjoy
it. Yes, it is our. one and a half hour escape
from capitalism as it is your one and a half
hours of entertainment. Exactly. It's perfectly
balanced as all things should be. As all things
should be. Props to Thanos. My man. What a G.
Great quotes. Oh, no doubt. But at any rate,
yeah, we just love doing this stuff. And as Aidan
said, we're not making Paul Brother money. We're
not making Rogan money, any of that sort of stuff.
Got to wish, right? But hey, if you guys want
to help us get there someday, that would be absolutely
amazing. Yeah, think about it. Yeah, just sit
on it. sit on it, you know, if you're a company
out there that we always give props to, I don't
know, Papsil Rubin, if anybody, you know, wants
to... Could you imagine the Peeber sponsorship
money? That'd be crazy. Oh my god, that would
be amazing. I would cosplay PBR wear every week.
Oh my god, could you imagine if we started doing,
like, vlogs on the Mark Mo Show channel, and
they paid us to, like, go out in those full,
like, can body suits. I would do it. And just
walk around in a PBR can. PBR... If you're listening,
I would absolutely do that at every fair, every
event. We have this thing called Popcorn Fest
in September. It's actually for a smaller town.
It's a pretty big event. People come from all
around as far as Chicago, downstate, Michigan.
Everybody comes for Popcorn Fest. And we MC it,
not to break arm patting our own back, but we
are MCs of that event. Yeah, just casual flex.
Casual flex. But I think we make it fun for people.
I think we have a lot of fun. We're definitely
a hype squad. Every cheer team, every... Every
dance group, whatever, we're always like, oh,
and here comes so -and -so, hey, bam, bam, bam.
And we're just like, they're like, yeah. They
just kind of go crazy. Or you get a little girl
who's like. Like the lull in between the floats
if you got some slow people. Right. And there's
this little girl, and she sees this candy. And
she's slowly making her way out. So Aidan and
I start doing play by play, like it's a sporting
event. She spotted the candy. She spotted the
candy. She's making her way out. Wait, nope,
she's having a set. She's looking back at mom.
No, mom is not. paying attention. I think she's
gonna go for it. What do you think? She's in
the clear. She's in the clear. She's going for
it. Then she picks it up and we're like, hey!
She's like scared shitless. Oh shit! She just
runs off the streets. There was a handful of
floats that came by and like they would have
kids handing out candy to the other kids, right?
And there was a bunch of kids that kept handing
candy to us. And we had this big cup full of
candy. We were like, oh, thanks, man. We started
collecting all this candy for this local bar
that we used to go to. It kind of dawned on me
once this little collection kept growing. I'm
like, oh, we got gifts for our friends. We are
totally going to deliver all this candy to them.
We are locked in. We are locked in. It was amazing.
Then all the kids are committed. They're just
like, oh, man, we got to fill their cup. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. That was so great. But at any rate,
yeah, we will wear PBR stuff, whatever you want
us to do. If the price is right, I would consider
getting a PBR tattoo. Oh damn. If the price is
right. Matching. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I would do it. That's what I'm saying. If they're
that dead set on sponsoring us, which I hear
they are and would be wonderful. That'd be amazing.
We'll think about it. We'll think about it. Yeah.
Dead center middle by forehead. I know the PBR
execs do listen. Indeed they do. So guys, hit
us up. We're willing to work with you here to
grow that. I'm just going to say. Once again,
not patting my own back, but in our town of Valparaiso,
Indiana, I walk into a bar and they literally
crack open the PBR when they see me coming. Right,
right. And if I order something different, I'll
go to this place called Franklin House, I'll
be like, ah, I'll have a Miller High Life, and
they look at me like I grew a third head. There's
a like, or a second hand. Yeah, I actually have
two. Who is this? Are you Mark Moe's twin or?
He usually gets this one. Never has a second
cup of coffee at home. Nice airplane. No, but
yeah, so I'm the PBR guy in town. It's an earned
title. It is definitely earned. Yeah. Copious
amounts of PBR. A healthy relationship with PBR.
i would say that yes absolutely fair without
a doubt uh so at any rate um here's what's funny
so the past couple weeks and we had last week
off we usually take a week off in between seasons
uh to kind of regroup think on some things we
want to change some stuff up whatever uh but
anyway we just kind of give ourselves a week
And so the past couple weeks have been littered
with mistakes and errors and just downright fuck
-ups and So, you know, I witnessed a guy bumping
another guy's parked car only to exit his car
and have the neighbor respond with oopsie oopsie
And then his response is a laugh and I know right
And I'm like what what what just happened So
if life fuck -ups were only that easy to just
brush under the rug, that would be amazing. It
would just be amazing. Commits tax fraud, oopsie.
Oopsie. The IRS guy goes, I know, right? Another
Wednesday. Another Wednesday. In the case of
the Mondays. Anyway, then you have that dipshit
in the White House dropping the ball with this
whole Epstein thing, only to continue to dig
the hole deeper. Right, right. How deep is he
going? Going to China? Where is he going? Half
of his Red Hat Army are now starting to turn
their back on him, and he pretty much just told
them to go to hell. What is going on right now?
These people keep bringing up Epstein. Stupid
people. It's like blood. He was invented by Obama.
These are the people that elected you. Right.
Right. This is your cult, man. You're turning
your back on your car. I honestly couldn't have
a nicer douche bag. Oh, so true. In my opinion.
And finally, and I think I know where you think
this is leading to, which is exactly where it's
leading to, you know, the whole smoochy smoochy
at the Coldplay concert. Oh, that was so good.
It's so funny. Oh my god, and the internet ran
with it, and god bless you for that. Now most
times, that isn't an issue, and it is always
a comical bit. When they throw the camera at
someone, it's like a brother and a sister, or
they're just friends, or like one friend got
up to get popcorn, and it's like the dude's wife,
and it's the other friend, and they're sitting
there like on rope. Rope. They're like, no. However,
when you're at the show with someone that isn't
your significant other, and a loving embrace,
and get caught on the kiss cam. That's just absolute
perfection. I mean, it's amazing. I couldn't
have done it any better. Talk about the ultimate
oopsie. And see, had they just played it off,
like no big deal. That video beyond the concert
would have never seen the light of day. Yeah,
I'm sure people wouldn't have even recognized
They wouldn't recognize they when it gave two
shits it wouldn't it wouldn't have even news
wouldn't have become all these memes and everything
Yeah today, but the guy some rich CEO type Dives
behind his bunker like a grenades been thrown
at him noticing there on the camera. Oh, yeah
and Now I'm just guessing that maybe crisis communications
or crisis situations probably not in his wheelhouse.
No, clearly. Clearly not in his wheelhouse. Meanwhile...
His HR manager, the one he's in the loving embrace
with. The chief personnel officer, head of HR.
Head of HR, doing this shit. She does the whole
double hands on the face and turns away in shame.
Hilarious. Also the, like how can you be the
head of HR and you're breaking all of the HR
rules in one evening? In one evening. In one
evening. Yeah. I think it's a great idea. Yes,
I will definitely go to the Coldplay concert
with you. And yeah, we're going to get all romantic.
Oh, there's a camera. Hi. Oh, so stupid. Hilarious.
And the funny fact is, like, they were in, like,
one of those boxes. So these big sports arenas,
I'm sure most of you know, have luxury boxes,
all that kind of shit, like where groups can
go and get the food and the whole thing. So they
were in something like that. Right, right. They
were with a bunch of other people. I'm guessing
company people, who obviously were all privy
to this affair. Right. Which just blows my mind.
Insane. Insanity. Because all the people when
he dove for cover. Yeah. And she's like, oh no,
and turns away. Everybody else in there is laughing.
Oh yeah. Like, ah, that's hilarious. Right. Well,
well, maybe not. The bit's been exposed. Yeah,
everybody else in there goes, oopsie. Yeah, oopsie.
Not knowing he full blundered his queen. Oh,
yeah. Oh, man. Now he's just like that golden
parachute of his. He's got to share that about
50 -50 now. Yeah. Oh, no. He's only going to
get 10 of his $20 million. Yeah, what a shame.
Oh, no. Isn't that terrible? Couldn't be me.
Man. Welfare which is unfortunate. Yeah welfare
for the rich is not where you welfare for the
rich. That's where we're out there Yeah But yeah,
you know, it was just kind of one of those things
that dawn dawned on us over the past couple weeks
Just like these oopsies and just the different
Hilarities. Oh, yeah, it's comical. Yeah the
quantity and Weight of the oopsie right is hilarious.
Oh, yeah Be just like a bus driver driving over
a cliff and he survives the whole bus full of
kids is gone. He's like Only in America. Oh,
yeah But anyway, hey, let's take a quick break
We've got so much for you here today in our season
3 premiere And the next thing up is going to
be Carpe Diem right after this break All right,
everybody we are back after that crazy, but hopefully
funny opening. Hope you guys enjoyed it as much
as we did. So the next bit up is Carpe Diem.
You find beautiful people, send us your DMs,
and we read them here on this podcast. If you
have comments, great, suggestions, questions,
we'll answer. Well, well, maybe. We might. We
could. We could. This could be the worst. we
could indeed with uh i don't know your social
security card definitely your house if you've
got one your house title of your car uh credit
card information yeah the 16 on the front the
three special ones yeah expiration date crypto
uh If you care to send it. Your mother's? Yeah.
Well, hey, it's an idea. It's an idea. Big brain.
We're just throwing shit against the wall. We'll
see what sticks. If you were to try to coerce
us, here's how it might work. Here's how it might
go down. For example, if you are PBR now, even
down that road. But at any rate, people send
us their DMs. We read them here on this podcast.
I'll lead off and then Aidan will back clean
up, so to speak, if you're a baseball fan. If
you're not, you don't know what the hell we're
talking about. Closers get coffee or something
like that? Yes, that's it. Coffee's for closers?
Yeah. ABC, always be closing. ABC, always be
drinking coffee. Drinking in a bar. I love acronyms
like that, where it's like a sensical acronym,
and then there's like 12 hidden words in there.
Yes, exactly. It's like, wait a minute. You can't
do that. No, that is illegal. So I got one from
at dbag CEO. I think we were just thinking of
this guy. Oh, yeah. It says, damn Coldplay. Was
about to hook up with my HR manager and they
screwed me. I am no longer a fan Well, they screwed
you before you could oh I'm just I'm just saying,
you know, maybe Maybe don't do that. Yeah, I
think being a Coldplay fan is enough of a sin
anyway That's and you're out there with your
HR manager, which by the way means She's a terrible
HR manager. Terrible HR manager. If she's hooking
up with the CEO. Yeah, that's probably frowned
upon. I would say. In most circles. I mean, I'm
not like an HR person, but hypothetically, I
might know a thing or two. That is fair. Step
one, don't hook up with the CPL. Yeah, that's
not a good idea. So at any rate, yeah, that's
D -Bag CEO. The next one, at White Sox Jerry.
Oh, god. Our only all -star had one job, and
what does he do on a world stage? He beans a
guy in the all -star game. Why, god, why? Um,
some laugh I cry I need a cup of warm milk and
my binky. Oh Jerry he's regressing. He is no
You know, what's funny is we were watching the
a game between the socks and the Guardians. Yes.
Last weekend. Mm -hmm. Where it was the Sox like
20th anniversary of our 2005 win, which is just
a way of saying you haven't won shit in 20 years.
Pet Bridge Farm, remember? Yes. But we were watching
that. We watched the Sox get destroyed and it
was hilarious because they had this whole event
going on, a full Sox stadium, which never happens.
Which is rare. And they took it out and it's
hilarious for us, definitely not for Jerry. No,
not for Jerry and the fact that I've coached
amateur baseball into high school, Aidan's played
a lot of it, and to see the mistakes and everything
that was happening, I'm like, this is like watching
kids baseball with the stupid mistakes of watching
this. I'm like, this is crazy. There was a college
baseball game on the next TV and it was more
principled. It was. It was a better game. I'm
like, yo, what are we doing? It was definitely,
it was definitely a better game. There was like
a female softball game. That's right. That was
even better, so. That was good play. White Sacks
Jerry, we feel you, brother. We definitely feel
you. We feel for you. We feel for you. Yeah.
And that's the most I can get. I don't know about
you, but the two teams I chair for the Chicago
Cubs and the Boston Red Sox. I think we're fine.
The Cubs have the best record in the National
League right now. And the Red Sox, I think, are
in the wild cards. So OK. Yeah, Cubbies are top
five in the MLB in like most stats. Yes. So that
is fair. So we feel for you, Jerry. We definitely
do. At Benny the Bull. I'm excited for the upcoming
season, but I hope I am able to see it. My last
name is Gutierrez. Uh -oh. And I'm an old bull
from south of the border. Come at me, Ice. I'll
dunk your ass. Oh, shit. Wow. Benny the Bull.
I would love to see Ice try and take Benny the
Bull and him just like... absolutely punk him.
Oh, he would. I think he would. You know, go
the fuck to sleep. Yeah, so, yeah, relax, Benny.
Most of those ice chodes are fucking... fucking
gravy seals, anyway. Oh, they are. They are.
Like, where do these dudes come from? You fat
racist fuck. Oh my god. I can't believe you're
considered a federal agent. What a disgrace.
Yeah, where do these people come from? wherever
the most racist individuals are in the country,
I would imagine. Militia groups and just like
wherever they find these fucking assholes. It's
the brand new KKK, just for you. Pretty much.
Yeah. Exactly. You know, what if we took the
KKK and made it like the KGB and called it ICE?
I like that. I should be a rapper. Bars. Bars.
My last one is, of course, from at stonerstanley420.
Momo and Alan are still in my ears. He's got
to take those buds out, man. I was going to say,
I don't think he recognizes they're in. I don't
think he does. He is so wrecked. He has no idea.
I am in it to the river, but I can't find it.
Oh no. Where did he go? Oh, no. Kevam, my little
leopard can. He is my good lucky charms. That's
not it, Stoner. That is not it. Oh, no. Leopard
can. So he's in the river. He's in the river.
He can't find the river. He can't find it. I
think the it is Kevam. The it is, oh, I thought
he was in the river and couldn't find the river.
That could be it too. His lack of perception
could be either, quite frankly. That could be.
Yeah. And to be fair, we haven't been able to
find Kevin either, so. No, that's true. Yeah.
I've heard there have been a few sightings, but,
you know. He's like Bigfoot. He really is. There
have been a few sightings, but we can't confirm
his existence. Or a leopard can. Or a leopard
can, of course. See him at the bottom of a rainbow.
Oh my god, that's hilarious. Stoner, you keep
doing you, brother. I love it. Okay, what do
you got over there, Eden? Alrighty, I had a DM
here from the odds maker asking, there's a button
in front of you. 95 % chance to get a million
dollars. 5 % chance to get sent to an American
concentration camp. Do you press it? Ooh, that's
a good question. It's a good one because, what,
there's a 19 in 20 chance that you get a million
dollars. That's pretty nice. That's pretty good.
But even a 1 in 20 chance of going to the brand
new, new and improved American concentration
camps is alarming. It is alarming. Because there's
not, you know, there's no due process. There's
no... I'm guessing there's no telephones to call
lawyers because, hey, it's a concentration camp
and people aren't treated like human beings.
I think the odds are good to get a mill. to get
a milli? I think I would press it once. I think
anything beyond that, I feel like statistics
generally don't lean towards me. But I think
I would press it once. Because I think 19 and
20 is a pretty good odd. I think so too. I think
not only would I press it, I think I'd go up
to five. Press it five times. I'd press it five
times. A little bit of a gambler. But I like
the odds. He's a gambling man. I think five is
the life changer. Yeah, five milli. I can put
that in a count and live off that interest. That's
true. That would be completely fine. Yeah. I
would be totally down with that. I can feel that
because there's a reason why statistics is like
a college level course is because It doesn't
mean there's now a 5 in 20 chance. Right. That
you get sent to an American concentration camp.
It's still a 1 in 20 chance. Still 1 in 20. You're
just taking the chance five times. Yes, correct.
You know, so that's where stats are always interesting.
I'm a big math guy. I know I don't understand
a lot of it, but I understand enough of it that
it kind of fascinates me Oh for sure so yeah,
I would do that. I like your chances. Yeah, hell.
Yeah, me too I like mine slightly better, but
yes, I would agree. I would agree Hammond cheese
Wow first name Hammond next name cheese Hammond
cheese asks Which celebs had a lot of potential
but died way too soon? I think Heath Ledger comes
to mind. Yeah. I mean, that dude, fantastic actor,
several excellent roles, and then just went too
soon. I think Kurt Cobain's another good one.
You know, I feel like Nirvana really could have
been, I mean, they still are one of the greats
in like that grunge rock era. Yeah. But I think
Joaquin Phoenix's brother, River Phoenix. Oh,
sure. Yeah. That's a good one. That dude could
have been all world. Right. Hmm, it's a good
question ham and cheese really a thinker here.
He's really For sure. Yeah, wonder what type
of bread ham and cheese prefer. Mm -hmm. I'd
say Jim Morrison I think oh sure Jim Morrison
God, there's a Gosh Stevie Ray Vaughan. That's
another one probably a lot of music left on that.
Yeah for sure You could argue both Biggie and
Tupac. Yes Absolutely. You know. You could do
that. Interesting. Interesting. But as we all
know, Tupac's still alive. That's true. Yeah,
he's on that island. Not that island. Not that
island. Which clearly there's no files on. No,
no, none at all. A different island. Different
island, yes. Unaffiliated. Yeah, unaffiliated
with a client list that definitely doesn't exist.
No, does not exist. We only convict people on
something that doesn't exist. Right, exactly,
exactly. The final... DM I received from definitely
not HR, which I'm guessing that CPO may have
gotten fired and is now asking a question. Yes.
Would you rather work your dream job making 50
thou a year or a job you hate making a hundred
thou a year? It's a good question. That's tough.
That's tough because do you really want to put
2 ,000 hours of your life every year into a job
you hate Just to live financially comfortably.
I Is it worth the stress? Is it worth the stress?
I don't know. Yeah, I don't know because I figure
at the lower amount Yeah job that makes you happy
right that you like But you have certain financial
constraints and those financial constraints may
be cause stress. That's true. That's where That's
where you got to decide which stresses. Right.
Yeah. Exactly. So it may be that job, you know,
where it's like you have the money, which means
you have some freedoms you didn't have at the
lesser amount. And you probably don't. Well,
unless you're a terrible spender. Right. You
have the debt and you don't have other things.
But you have to figure, OK, for eight hours a
day, can I deal with just utter shit knowing
I can go home and go out and eat dinner wherever
I want, and then go hang out, go on a couple
vacations. Man, that's tough. Yeah, it is. And
my thought, too, is like, my dream job, making
50th hour a year, my dream job isn't going to
work somewhere. Right. You know, my dream job
would be here producing content, gardening, or
yeah, here producing content, podcasts, YouTube.
If I could just do that and make 50th hour a
year. Would be totally happy doing that. Yeah,
and then if I wanted to pick up a side hustle
make some extra dollars I could sure but I think
I think I gotta go dream job for 50k cuz all
right, I just think that that's suffering two
thousand hours a year of Suffering just just
to live a little more comfortably. I don't know.
Yeah, you know, you know what I I was leaning
towards a hundred but I think I would take the
52 just because I know what shitty jobs are like,
and shitty companies, and it's not worth it.
It's not worth it at any amount of money. It's
just not, because it just destroys you, destroys
your soul, and even if you go home, and it's
like, oh yay, now I'm home, you're just exhausted,
magically, sometimes physically. Yeah, that is
not worth it. Yeah, I'd agree. Yeah, take that
dream job for sure. Yeah, no doubt. my last dm
i got today all right man well uh once again
if you have dms out there you want to send them
to us feel free any of the socials that are out
there even in the comments of this please like
and subscribe of course uh leave them and uh
we'll read them uh for the next uh the next episode
uh we usually do this segment uh called the other
foods and aiden scours the globe for actual real
foods that people eat That would make most people
just upchuck. Just vom. Vom. Yeah. So I'm very
interested to see this week what your selection
is. I've got one here from the country of Japan.
Oh, okay. A food product called natto. Oh, natto.
Natto. Natto for me. Yeah, exactly. Soybeans
are fermented with the bacterium bacillus subtilis
which is found in soil and in the gastrointestinal
tract of humans. Oh God. So the soybeans are
fermented with that. That's off jump. It's quote,
a popular breakfast dish. The sticky beans are
first stirred with chopsticks to create gooey
strings of slime. Mm. Natto, they claim, has
a savory aroma of old cheese. old socks, and
some say the smell reminds them of hot garbage.
Oh, God. Yeah. The texture is decidedly slimy.
It does have a reputation as a probiotic superfood,
but I don't know if it's worth it. I really don't
know if Natto is worth it for probiotics. You
just take probiotic pills. You don't need to
eat nasty stinky cheese old socks. Soybeans they
they have freeze -dried natto. Jesus. Why would
you want to do that? And like this Natto is one
of the ones too. That's along the lines of sir
strumming which yeah Maybe we will recover in
in in other foods for those that haven't heard
of sir strumming yet Sure, but not toes along
the same lines of sir strumming where you can
look up on YouTube like people trying natto and
having like that visceral reaction of like, oh
my god, this is terrible. It smells awful. So
it is an entertaining food that I am not at all
interested in not only trying, but having in
my house. I feel like if a package of natto was
opened in my house, I would need to get the entire
thousand square feet fumigated. Oh, for sure.
To full reset. Yeah, if you make Natto in my
house, you are Natto invited to come over ever
again. Good. That's solid. Thank you. Yeah, man.
That was clean. Yeah, it was clean. Yeah, you
will be evicted quickly. Yeah. That is for sure.
It's like openings are strumming on an airline.
It's not going to pan out well for you. Oh, it
will not. They will evict you from that plane
at 40 ,000 feet. Bye. Bye. See you later. Oopsie.
Where's my passion? Send my luggage. Here's your
strumming. How about that? Yeah, exactly. Before
we go to our break, I started doing this fry
guy review. Fry guy fry review. That is right.
I am a bit of a fry guy. And so I've been putting
off the king. so to speak, and I'm not talking
Burger King. No. Yucky. Don't vom. That should
be the other food. Yeah, that should be the other
food. You had no reaction to Natto, then Burger
King's like, God. So I did McDonald's fries.
Now. The Golden Arches. Of course, I've had them
a million times, but I have to review them fairly.
As they were served to you. As they are served
to me. So I went, I remember I went in. I think
I got something else too. I think I was, it might
have been like a Friday. I was going to my friend's
bar in this town that's like a half an hour away.
And I was on my way and I'm like, oh hell, I
haven't eaten dinner. And so like, I think I
got like a McChicken sandwich and I'm like, I'll
get a fry. I'm like, oh, fry guy review. I'm
like, oh, please be good. Please be good. And
so I get them. And when I was at the window,
she said the magical words. Be careful with the
fries. They just took them out. Oh, beautiful.
That's like, yeah, baby. My man. So now you do
the one thing, which you normally don't have
to do. You have to give it a minute. Right. Let
it breathe a hot second. I have to give credit
to McDonald's for a couple of things. Obviously,
their Diet Coke's the best Diet Coke in the world,
without question. But their fries, I don't know
what the secret is to perfectly salting fries,
but McDonald's has definitely figured it out.
because you can over salt and once they're over
salted you're screwed right there's really nothing
you can do you can under salt and i'll just get
a salt pack and put a little bit of salt yeah
that's not a big deal they salt their fries perfectly
every damn time i wonder there's got to be a
formula there's got to be a mixture of like sodium
chloride salt and like msg yes msg doesn't have
the same effect of like oh that's too salty that's
you know so i wonder if that's it But that's
just a hypothesis. Well, it could be, because
they usually have that metal canister or whatever
that's like chained to the thing next to the
fry. Yeah, and they give it a shaky. And they
give that a little quick shake, and then they
gyrate the fries a little bit with their... Props
to the fry cook. Oh, man. No doubt. So I was
so happy they were hot. They were perfectly salted.
Almost the perfect fry. Almost the perfect fry.
I gave it a 9 .5 out of 10. Strong score which
is a strong score strongest so far. It's number
one in the clubhouse. Yes Definitely number one.
I'm not sure there's gonna be anybody to knock
them off, but We'll keep doing these reviews.
Yes, see how it goes We leave the extra point
five as room for improvement should a perfect
fry appear you have to because like All right,
there's the one guy that does the pizza reviews
online, right? And he's a one bite, everyone
knows rule. And then he gives it, and he often,
especially early when he was doing it, he's like,
how can you give something a 10? What if you
have a pizza that's better? Right. Valid point.
You haven't tried them all. You haven't tried
them all. So how could you be, oh man, this pizza's
a 10. You sure? Have you tried every pizza there
is to try? So I kind of, I respect that. And
so I kind of do it in that vein where it's an
amazing score, but. What happens if along the
way I pop in a restaurant and be like, holy shit
This might be the greatest right ahead and now
I've got no room exactly, you know, so it's that's
that's the way I agree Anyway, that's that's
kind of the promise nine five out of ten still
the best we've had on the fry guy fry review
so far so far we've had a few and we'll keep
track of that and Maybe after we get no, I don't
know eight or ten of them or whatever We'll start
like posting a toke board somewhere or something.
Yes, that could be that'd be good All right,
we're gonna take a quick break, and our feature
segment's gonna be coming up. I'm just gonna
say this. First of all, it's called You Just
Made the List. Secondly, there is an infamous
You Just Made the List. Oh no. The Intercontinental
Championship. From back in the radio days. From
back in the radio days. This came close. So we're
gonna take a break. We'll come back. You Just
Made the List. All right, we are back everybody.
This is the Mark Mo Show podcast. I'm your host,
Mark Maloney, along with Aidan Maloney. And we're
now on to you just made the list. Every week
we do a list, top 10 mostly, 10 through two,
and then our big number one reveal. Now there's
certain rules we got to follow. Well. Are there?
Actually one. I heard there's one. And then one
rule. is that there are no rules. Ooh, excellent
news. That's my favorite rule. That is a great
rule. Really, that is my favorite rule. So, alright,
this week we decided top ten favorite albums
of all time. It's tough. Now, it's so tough.
If, for example, you're just a country music
fan, maybe it's a little bit easier. If you're
like, oh, I just like jazz. Cool. But, Aidan
and I, we like a lot of different kinds of music.
So for us, once I started getting into this,
I'm like, oh, what'd I do? Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah,
it's tough. Probably should have just picked
a genre. Right. But here we are. Yeah. We're
very genre fluid. We are. Indeed we are. So,
okay. I'm gonna let Aiden go first. Yeah, okay.
I have a significant honorable mention list.
I have a decent one also. It's not exactly the
intercontinental title. Yeah, not quite. which
but approaching we did oh god couple years ago
now maybe more than that but we had a show uh
on radio uh which is where i do my music show
after hours right but we had this mark mo show
in its incarnation on the radio and so we had
this list greatest intercontinental champions
of all time so I did my 10. Aiden did his 10.
I think I might have had four or five honorable
mentions. I don't think I was there for that
show. I think I was working. Were you working?
I think it was just you and Kevam. Kevam. You
might be right. God, I thought you were there.
Maybe not. Kevam shows up. And he's got an Epstein
list. Filled with Intercontinental Champions.
He didn't leave a single one of the list. No.
Yeah, Kevin just said, hey, what list are you
talking about? There's a list. It was a significant
list, and he probably had 30 names. Yeah. It
was a lot. I'm like, Kevin, what are you doing?
That's just the honorable mentions. That's just
the honorable mentions. He didn't even get to
the top 10. It's crazy. So I could have approached
that because every time I write one down, three
others pop in my head and I'm like, oh no. Yup.
But I'm interested. I'm interested to hear what
Aidan has to say and then I will give you my
many. Yes, that's fair. I'll start with my honorable
mentions. I've got a top 10 list and I have 10
honorable mentions. Okay. I think that's only
fair to do. So my honorable mentions, Metallica
Metallica. Okay. Also known as the Black Album.
Correct. So Metallica Metallica, All Eyes on
Me by Tupac, Dirt by Alice in Chains, Toxicity
by System of a Down, The Chronic by Dr. Dre,
Paranoid, Black Sabbath, Chromacopia by Tyler
the Creator, Power Slave, Iron Maiden, Hybrid
Theory by Linkin Park, and AM by The Arctic Monkeys.
That's that's my honorable mentions man, man
Strong honorable mentions. Hopefully my list
is equally as strong Number ten the death of
Slim Shady by Eminem. Yeah thought that was a
fantastic album. I know There are other fantastic
albums from Eminem and maybe recency bias plays
into that one But I really enjoyed it number
nine never mind by Nirvana number eight GNX by
Kendrick Lamar Fantastic album. Number seven,
Dooky by Green Day. It's just like quintessential
punk rock, I would argue. Number six, Moving
Pictures by Rush. Oh no. Oh no. Did I find one
you missed? Oh no. Oh no. Yeah, Moving Pictures
is a fantastic album. It is. Number five, To
Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar. Yep. Number
four, 2001 by Dr. Dre. Number three, I had Master
of Puppets, Metallica. Good. And number two,
Number of the Beast, Iron Maiden. I love that.
Save my number one for later. Such a good list.
Such an amazing list. I can't believe I left
Rush. I left Rush off my auto mention and the
top ten. Oh no. But I left Red Hot Chili Peppers
off. Oh sure. I left others off too. It's just,
it's too much. But I would have put 2112 on there
for sure. Sure. Yeah. At any rate. Here's my
honorable mention list. Led Zeppelin 1, their
first album. It's great. It's bluesy. Iron Maiden,
Power Slave. Metallica, black album. Motley Crue,
Dr. Feelgood. Nice. Pearl Jam 10. I should have
had Pearl Jam on there too. Aerosmith, Toys in
the Attic. Van Halen, 1984. Alice in Chains,
Dirt and Alice in Chains, Jar of Flies. Nice,
nice. Because I'll even I'll go out and say Jar
of Flies might be better than Dirt and Dirt's
a great album. Purple Rain by Prince and the
Revolution. U2 War and U2 Joshua Tree. Oh nice.
They're both awesome. Yeah. The Cure with Disintegration.
Great album. Oh I forgot R .E .M. too. Oh no.
This is terrible. This is terrible. Really, I'm
a music guy. This is so terrible. Fleetwood Mac
Rumors. The Who Who's Next. Nirvana Nevermind
and NWA Straight Outta Compton. Nice. Oh, that's
a good one, too. So that's interesting. That's
a good one, too. I left and I felt sick about
it. I mean, I could have added it now, but I
just like I didn't I didn't put Nine Inch Nails
on there. Sure. I left Jane's Addiction off.
They're not Chili Peppers. Blood Sugar Sex Magic
is freaking great. Why did I do this? Why did
I do this? I don't know. This is just, this is
punishment for us music fans. Okay, here we go.
Number 10, Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon.
Nice. Number nine, Tesla, Mechanical Resonance.
Such a great album. Tool Enema for that industrial
metal sound. Yeah. So good and maybe one of the
best drummers in rock for sure. Number seven.
Iron Maiden's 7th Son of a 7th Son. Nice. Good
placement. I thought so. Good placement. Number
6, Metallica, Master of Puppets. Number 5, my
top 10 list could have been, half of this could
have been this artist. Billy Joel, Stormfront.
Oh, nice. Great album. Yeah. But so many, I mean
Glass Houses is great and it's just, there's
other great stuff. Megadeth, Rust in Peace with
number 4. That was one of the ones I cut too.
Was it? That's a great album. Yeah. Yeah. Number
three, Number of the Beast, Iron Maiden, and
number two, Led Zeppelin IV. It's a fantastic
one. That's another band that didn't make the
cutter game floor. It's a tough list, man. It's
a super tough list. It's a really tough list.
I know. I'm sitting there in this coffee shop
where I do a lot of my prep, and I just started,
and I'm like, nope, got to move them there. Nope,
got to move them down, got to move them up. Oh
my god, I forgot this band. It was the worst.
Yeah, tough. So now we're on to our number ones.
The number ones. It's rare to have an artist
with three in the top ten, but I did it. I did
it because it felt right. Yeah. Number one on
my list is Good Kid, Mad City, Kendrick Lamar.
Kendrick Lamar. Yep. Yep. Just an amazing album.
Sadly, no Kendrick for me. It's cutting room
floor. Yeah, no, I hear you because I do I do
love Kendrick and I love cube and I know there
are others that I that I like that, you know,
it's just unfortunate. Yeah, it's tough. Yep.
So. OK, this is the first time in, I believe,
our top 10. You just made the list history. We've
done ties before. We've had two. I have three
number ones, because I literally could not split
hairs between these three albums. Sure. There's
no rules against that. There isn't. Number one,
ACDC Back in Black. It's a great album. Front
to Back. Yep. Solid Listen. Number two, GNR Appetite
for Destruction. I was thinking about them, too.
At a time when grunge was coming on and hair
metal was dying. Dying, I guess, is probably
fair, although those bands are still around and
playing. But they stepped up and are like, oh,
we're just going to be a hard rock band that
slaps you in the face. Great album. Yep. And
tied with those two, Soundgarden's Bad Motorfinger.
It's excellent. Such an amazing, like, when you
think of that genre, by far that album, in my
opinion, blows everything else away. Yeah. It's
a fantastic number one trio right there. It really
is. It really is. Wow, that was something. That
was definitely something. It's so tough. It's
like one of those lists that almost doesn't feel
good because of how many albums were missed,
but at the same time it's like... Someone had
to do it some people had to be cut and that's
just unfortunate Yeah, yeah that that really
that really sucks because there's a lot of great
made in albums that oh, yeah on there and Billy
Joel and just some others that you know even
artists that could have made the list entirely
that weren't on there It's like damn. Yeah. Oh
for sure hundred percent That leads us to our
next segment, which is called review preview.
I review a movie and preview movie And I went
and saw Superman. And so here we go. So Superman
gets drawn into a conflict at home and abroad.
His actions are questioned, giving tech billionaire
Lex Luthor the opportunity to get the Man of
Steel out of the way for good. Will and trepid
reporter Lois Lane and Superman's four legged
companion Crypto brought the dog in to help him
before it's too late. So the film stars David
Cornsweat, which sounds like corn sweat, which
is hilarious because that's what makes us so
damn human all the time. Damn corn sweat. So
I don't like them because of that, really. Change
your name, David. Fuck that guy. Fuck that corn
sweat guy. Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Holt, Nathan
Fillion, who plays Green Lantern, but kind of
a Deadpool -esque Green Lantern. It was called
Dead Lantern. Dead Lantern sounds damn cool.
And he was one of my favorite characters, I think.
The film is a bit more lighthearted than recent
DC efforts, so I do give it props for that. I
liked the Superman as an immigrant play. And
let's face it, he's kind of the ultimate immigrant.
He's off the damn planet. So he's an immigrant
everywhere. Right. And it wasn't as distracting
a focal point as some people let it to be. It
really wasn't, it wasn't the main point of the
movie. It was just kind of there and they put
it there. And Gunn put it there on purpose and
I was fine with it. There are some good individual
performances and I'm kind of interested to see
where they go from here. I think as kind of a
first effort out of the gate by James Gunn, not
bad. I think there's a lot of ways they can go,
so I am kind of interested to see what's gonna
happen. However, I mean, the story's just okay,
and then there's like other superheroes in the
movie, and you're just supposed to kind of pick
up where they're at. Oh, I see. Because it isn't
an origin story, so you're kind of like, all
right, why are they doing this, and why are they
this, and why are they that? And people can call
it a plot hole if you want. It's just, I just
don't have enough information. things are the
way they are. Sure. Because it just kind of picks
up where they're at. But overall, like I said,
there's some good individual performances, kind
of lighthearted. Some of the jokes are funny.
Seven three out of ten. Not bad. Which I think
is a fair score. It's pretty good for D .C. recently.
Pretty good for D .C. I would say that. The next
one is a preview. And I couldn't remember if
I did this yet or not. So I'm going to do it
again if I did. Fantastic four first steps. Mr.
Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and
the Thing face their most daunting challenge
as they defend Earth from Galacticus and Silver
Surfer. Silver Surfer we've seen in other Fantastic
Four movies. We haven't seen Galacticus yet.
Right. And he's a bad dude. This movie will begin
the whole tie -in with this multiverse thing
that they kind of been playing with. And of course,
the upcoming Avengers movies, which they're going
to have to start, they're going to have to start
teaming it up, you know? Right. The movie stars
Vanessa Kirby, Pedro Pascal, because Pedro Pascal's
in every third movie. That's true. Joseph Quinn,
Ralph Innocent, Julia Garner, and the main man,
John Malkovich. And let's face it, let's get
off the highway for two seconds. John Malkovich
is a tremendous actor. True. He's been in so
many movies. And yet the one quote that I think
of when I think of John Malkovich. And I don't
know if you'll know the quote I'm about to say.
Get the pig. Red. Excellent. Get the pig. I just
love it. It's a great movie, too. A great movie.
It's one of those movies like the other guys
where it just kind of flew under the radar, but
it's kind of like cult classic -esque. I think
it's a fantastic movie. Oh, for sure. And if
you're talking about... Should we get the pig?
Get the pig. Get the pig. I love it. And it's
just like you have all these actors and they're
really at their best. Every single damn one of
them. It's so good. But anyway, back on the Fantastic
Four Highway, the movie's directed by WandaVision
and Game of Thrones vet Matt Shackman. I think
I'm hopeful by that because I do like his work.
The movie premieres. It's coming up July 24th.
And I think there have been other Fantastic Four
movies. Some have been okay. Some have been kind
of mid. And Fantastic Four franchise have been
just kind of all over. And so I hope that this
one finally kind of ties it in. Locks in. Locks
it in. And apparently the Fantastic Four are
going to get swallowed up into this Avenger thing.
And so... Maybe that will give new life then
to the Avengers and moving forward. So let's
hope maybe that that that'll end up right case.
Yeah, that'd be good. Yeah. So I'm definitely
looking forward to it. Now, before we get to
our next break, we do a little thing called while
you were sleeping. So it's usually something
in music, movies, YouTube, gaming, all that kind
of stuff. And it's just something we may have
missed. And so Aiden drives this bus big time,
comes up with a lot of really cool stuff, and
he'll introduce somebody like, oh man, I never
heard of that, or oh god, I hadn't thought about
that. So I'm always very interested to see what
Aiden has week after week from while you're sleeping.
So what you got, man? Well, while you were sleeping,
one of the best -selling games of all time, Wii
Sports, has a sequel, Wii Sports Resort. I didn't
know that was a thing. And it is, of course,
a fantastic selling game as well. But I feel
like it gets overlooked because of the fame of
Wii Sports. But Wii Sports Resort is solid. It's
arguably better, one might say. I might even
say. But yeah, Wii Sports Resort... The 2009
sports simulation -like motion control, the sequel
to Wii Sports, set on a tropical island, the
game features more than double the amount of
sports in the original, all enhanced by the Wii
Motion Plus accessory. And most new Wiimotes,
which is the Wii Control, come with... the Wii
Motion Plus inside of them, which is essentially,
I think it's some kind of gyroscope or something
that more accurately can read your motion, which
kind of makes the motion controls feel a bit
smoother, which Wii Sports, the initial release,
did not have. So up to four players, of course,
can compete in a bunch of different sports, but
I think the original Wii Sports lineup, I think
it was tennis, golf, baseball, boxing, bowling,
I think it was those five. Right and like little
training minigames. Yeah, but Wii Sports Resort
has sword fighting wakeboarding frisbee archery
basketball table tennis golf bowling power cruising
Which is like jet skis canoeing cycling and air
sports in an airplane. Oh Damn. Yeah, so I think
it's fantastic. It looks great. I mean It's 2009
and you're playing on the Wii so it you're still
playing on the Wii. It doesn't look fantastic.
Yeah But it still looks great. It's open -world
-esque in a way where you can kind of, when you're
in the plane, you can just kind of float around
the island and see everything, how the island
is set up. Oh, no way! So, I think it's fantastic
and it gets overshadowed by the existence of
Wii Sports just being this powerhouse. I think
it's still maybe in the top five video games
sold of all time. But yeah, Wii Sports Resort
is fantastic, and if anyone still has their old...
Nintendo Wii sitting in a box collecting dust
somewhere. Give, uh, give Wii Sports Resort a
try. Give it a try. Yeah. No doubt. That's amazing.
Um, yeah, I just, that one just... I mean, it
just, like, I missed it. I remember Wii Sports
and we played Wii Sports. And it's a lot of fun.
But as you say, sometimes the actual physical
gameplay is just a little bit wonky. Yeah. So,
um, wow, that's really interesting. Yeah. Yeah.
Fascinating. Yeah, I would love to play it. Yes,
it is fun. Now that you mention it. All right.
Well, that does it for while you were sleeping.
Once again, we love the engagement. Reach out
to us. If there's something that you think we're
sleeping on, let us know and we'll bring that
shit to the forefront. Damn right. For sure.
All right. We're going to take a quick break.
And when we come back, one of our favorite things
to do, our beer review for all you fine people.
And then something we haven't done in a few weeks.
The world of weird news coming up after the break.
All right, we are back for the homestretch. This
is the Mark Mo Show podcast. I'm your host, Mark
Maloney, along with my co -host, Aidan Maloney,
also from Aidan spelled the right way. That is
his gaming podcast. You should check it out on
YouTube. It's pretty good stuff. It's a fantastic
time. It is a fantastic time. It's very enjoyable.
Yeah. You guys will find yourselves laughing.
You'll find yourselves mentally playing along
as Aiden goes on different journeys here through
these gaming and sometimes, especially in GeoGaster,
I'm like, no, no, it's right, it's right. The
sign's to your, no, you went the wrong, go left.
And you're just like, wait, he can't hear me.
What the hell am I doing? But that's good content
when people on the other end are that way. So
that's that's definitely good stuff. But that
leads us to our beer review. The official beer
review. It is this week, Modelo Negra. So Aidan,
what's up with Modelo Negra? I hear it's fantastic
and we'll be trying it today. It's from the Modelo
group or Grupo Modelo, as they say, from Ciudad
de México. straight out of Mexico City, imported
into the United States for us to enjoy. 5 .4
% ABV, so just a touch higher than your traditional
beer. Gets a 16 on the international bitters
unit scale, so it's not bitter at all. Usually
IPAs are like 40 to 80. Yes. So it's technically
a lager. Munich dunkle style so okay the way
that untapped describes it is Modela negra Mexican
beer is a lager beer with German roots offering
a rich taste with a light finish enjoy the surveys
on its own or On its own or two brings out the
flavor of Mexican dishes Onto the can itself
which does look pretty cool. I will say it looks
very cool medium bodied lager with slow roasted
caramel malts Brewed for a rich, smooth taste
is how they market themselves. I'm sold. We will
be the judge of that for you here today. Indeed.
Let us know on the socials what you are enjoying.
Most definitely. And your thoughts on Modela
nigra, if you've ever tried it. Cheers. Cilantro.
Cilantro. Oh, she's smooth. She's way smooth.
Yeah, I enjoy this. It's definitely got the roasty
notes. For sure. It's almost got the roasty notes
of a porter. because there's definitely like
roasty coffee flavor notes in there what you
definitely don't expect from a lager perhaps
from a dunkle i could see actually so i get that
yeah slightly malty but definitely roasty yeah
that is good yeah i like it very enjoyable i
i actually have a funny story revolving around
modelo negra i never had it before this was when
i was much younger closer to your age now and
I was working for a major law firm in Chicago,
and so we had the job. We, wow, I'm trying to
think exactly. I think we took up five floors
in a large office building downtown, and then
part of a sixth. Well, part of the sixth we were
vacating, primarily because that group had left.
And so there were like 10 attorneys down there
on this half floor and like seven of them are
gone. So we're like, okay, we're just gonna move
those three attorneys up and we're just gonna
vacate this floor. So as we're doing that, it
was basically like, okay, you know, client files,
get them into storage, do that whole stuff or
help them take the files that are theirs, whatever.
So like there's like all process to it. And so
as we're cleaning up, sometimes they left personal
stuff behind. And, like, if it was a valuable,
obviously, we were gonna be like, oh, hey, so
-and -so, you forgot this watch or whatever.
You know, I would let them know that. But we're
going through this one guy Joe's office, and,
like, there was this closet in there, and there
was just some trash and other stuff. And I looked
in the corner, I'm like, wait a minute. And it
was a Sixer of Modela Negra. Yo. Now, the shift
that I had was, like, a 2 to 9 .30 shift. So
it's already, like, 9 o 'clock. It's the dude
I'm doing this with. I'm like, die. I think we
should start the weekend. He's like, I think
that's a great idea. So we polish off that sixer
pretty quickly. But that was my first time drinking
Modelo Negra. And I was like, wow, that is pretty
fricking good. It's not even cold. Right. Oh,
yeah. And it was in a closet. That's crazy. That's
great. Oh, yeah, it was. It's just the lawyers
all this time. This and Devotas are wrapping
up a long week. And I'm like, wait a minute.
The Lord has it all provided for us. New development.
New development. We were starting the weekend.
Quite. But back to our taste test. It's fantastic.
I enjoy it. Yeah, I agree. It's definitely got
the dunkle vibe, you know? A Mexican beer with
German roots, I think is how they described it.
Yeah. I agree. I agree, it's roastiness is very
welcome. Typically lagers are very light -bodied,
easy drinking. Very clean, yeah. But this has
got some character to it that I quite enjoy.
Yeah, I agree. So as far as lagers go, I'm going
to give it a pretty healthy score. Ooh. 325 out
of 5. I like it. Yeah. This is quite enjoyable.
It is quite enjoyable. I like it quite a bit.
As you say, it's still, despite this roasty coffee
kind of flavor that hits your palate, it's still
clean. Like afterwards, it's like, it's clean.
It doesn't leave anything on there like super
hoppy IPAs can. Sure. This is flavorful, yet
doesn't leave that on the palate, which I always
appreciate. Yeah. So yeah, I go three and a half.
Nice. I go three and a half. I think it's very
good. Very solid. Yeah, definitely. So props
to Modelo. I know Modelo's got, they've got what?
Especial. They have the regular Modelo. Yeah.
There's a couple of them. Modelo Auro is the
new one. Auro is the new one. Yeah. So I don't
know if that's what light? Yeah, I believe so.
It's the light beer. Yeah, so Yeah, we'll get
around. We'll get around to trying them I know
a lot of times we try to do more of the micro
brews locally brewed kind of stuff, but every
once in a while We'll do the the macro. Yeah,
and like we did with the the peber right more
more globally accessible Yeah, most definitely.
Our fans out there in Curacao. You can try them.
Yeah, exactly. Curacao, what up? Yeah, I agree.
That's a great idea. Yeah. To be able to do that.
So go out and get yourself a Delo. Good stuff.
Absolutely. Not sponsored, but recommended. Most
definitely agree. Now, one thing we do before,
I mean, we do grade it, but then we also do our
flavor profiles. So I'm kind of interested what
Aiden's are. I'm looking at kind of the top five
on this flavor profile. Sweet is on here, I didn't
get sweet so much. No, I would disagree. Yeah,
I didn't add that one. A Maltese one, I would
say Maltese Fair. Yeah. A Smooth, I would say
it is Smooth. Yeah. And Dark. So I'll put Dark
Smooth and Maltese. Yeah, I did Maltese Smooth
and I added Roasty to mine. Oh, that's good.
Yeah. Yeah. Quite enjoyable. Oh, by the way,
it just, we use the untapped app. as part of
our scoring process. That allows us to kind of
go back and look at some of the ones that we've
tried so we're not doubling up or doing things
like that. But it often, the app, depending on
where you've had beers before and stuff like
that, it will pop things up like it did by this
one. Nearby verified venue. Buffalo Wild Wings
in Valpo, which is one of our favorite establishments
in Valpo. It's definitely our go -to for sports
and things of that nature. So they are a verified
venue on Untapped. Presumably that carries this
cerveza, I would imagine. Yeah, most definitely.
So we're going to subscribe to that one. Count
me in. Count you in. My unlock badge, I'm a Logger
Jack. Hey, good for you. Logger Jack level two.
You've earned it. Let's see what else we've got
here. Hold on to your bears badge. Whoa. Hold
on to your bears. Unleash your inner paleontologist
and celebrate untapped 2025 mid -year in beer
presented by the untapped shop in this limited
edition badge. Limited edition. Whoa. How about
that? Hold on to my beer. Actually kind of looks
like the Jurassic logo. It does. It does. It's
clever. So I kind of dig that. Yeah. I like those.
Good stuff. Yeah, most definitely. That pretty
much brings us to our final segment for this
week. And this is one we rather enjoy is the
world of weird news. And we find weird news stories
from all over the globe, although we could just
do stories about Florida. And that would probably
fill the bit. Right. That is true. It would definitely
it would definitely fill a bit. But a lot of
times it's pretty global. And we find things
All over the place. Florida Man does some traveling.
Florida Man apparently does some traveling. So
did you want to lead on this one? Sure. Okay.
Sure. We've spoken his name multiple times. I
do have a Florida Man today. I love it. I figured
it was only right. Bringing back Roller Rated
News Season 3, Florida Man had to make a return.
The story comes from WSOC Channel 9 in Florida,
of course. Florida man accused of jumping naked
on neighbor's trampoline before breaking into
home. So this comes from Lay Acres, Florida.
A Florida man is accused of jumping on neighbor's
trampoline while naked and later breaking into
her home while still unclothed. Oh. The man in
question, Adrian Lee Gonzalez -Bradway, who was
21 at the time of this story, was arrested Wednesday
and charged with burglary and criminal mischief
with property damage of more than $200. I love
the term criminal mischief, by the way. Criminal
mischief. It's just like, it's the term of just
being a little stinker, you know? Yeah, I love
criminal mischief. It's like, you little mischief,
you're going to jail. I love that. It's also,
quite frankly, because I do consider myself a
low -level menace, that's right along with that.
Yes, mischievous. Mischievous. Menacery, yeah.
No bail had been set at the time of this story.
According to the sheriff's office, Gonzales -Bradway
showed up naked at his neighbor's home and lay
acres. on this Tuesday afternoon and began tapping
on her door. There was a rap -tap -tapping. Rap
-tap -tap. The resident asked Gonzalez -Broadway
if he needed assistance, but he did not respond.
Which, I mean, that's kind of a neighborly thing
to do. You see a naked man tapping on your door.
That's fair. It's like, ah, you good, bro? 30
minutes after this, the woman said she saw Gonzalez
-Broadway jumping on her family's trampoline
while still naked. The woman, it continues, the
woman then saw Gonzales -Bradway start to touch
himself on the trampoline. On the trampoline.
She then called 911, which, I mean, I would have
called 911 probably before that point, but hey,
better late than never. According to the sheriff's
office, Gonzales -Bradway then... Ran up to the
women's door demanding entry when the woman refused
Gonzales Bradway allegedly smashed her kitchen
window open the woman gathered her children a
Niece and a nephew locked herself in her vehicle
calling the authorities which smart thing to
do The authorities that showed up and arrested
him while still naked. Oh No, there was there
was never an article of clothing during this
entire interaction Jumping on the trampoline
he starts to get a little too freaky with it.
Oh no naked jumping on the trampoline is already
kind of freaky But then he gets a little more
freaky, and she's like okay. I'm calling 5 -0
And he just breaks the window like like the one
Eric Andre meme let me in Yeah Escalated past
the point of of comedy there for a moment because
you know that I too would feel threatened if
if a naked man broke my window but yeah just
the the idea of uh of a woman trying to be neighborly
like oh naked man's tapping on my door like you
good buddy and then he just gets a little gets
a little criminally mischievous that's so funny
quintessentially florida man i would argue That
is hilarious. I totally see that. Oh, yeah. Ladies
and gentlemen, I lived in Florida for a year
and of course have traveled there many more times.
None of these stories you will hear on this segment
that involve a Florida man surprise me. Yes.
None of them surprise me at all. It is a crazy
place. Yeah. It is a crazy place. Yeah, like
they've got a lot of amusement parks there, but
the true amusement park is the state of Florida
itself. Oh, watch the people. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
The natives. Yes. The natives, for sure. The
Florida man. The Florida man, no doubt. Oh, that
is hysterical. I am glad you brought Florida
man back. It was a matter of time. It was just
a matter of time. All right. My story is from
outside the states. OK. Women. Woman, sorry,
woman flooded with calls about non -existent
cat due to a t -shirt. Oh no. Oh no, what? A
British Columbia woman's phone has been flooded
with calls about a missing cat that does not
exist. And it's all because of a t -shirt. Natasha
Lavoie and Jonathan Micura said dozens of calls
have come in from people claiming to have found
their cat Torbo. But their cat's name is Mouser,
and he isn't missing. Who is this Torbo guy?
Sometimes, like six times a day, I'm getting
these really random phone calls and some people
leaving me voicemails saying that they found
my cat and they want money for my cat. Oh my
god, that's crazy that people are like extorting
these. Extorting them. Extorting this non -existent
cat. Where are they getting these cats from?
I'm like, my cat's at home in the air conditioning.
The couple discovered Lavoie's phone number had
been printed on a t -shirt sold by company Wisdom
New York. Oh my god. The shirt features a missing
cat poster and Lavoie's phone number. That's
crazy. If you want to print a fake phone number,
you always do the 555 thing in the middle. Right.
It's what all TV shows do. Yes, that is what
they do. They really put the dumb in wisdom.
Yes, they did. A wisdom New York representative
said the shirt has been pulled from the online
store. Oh, that's sad. That's sad. Oh, man. I
want one. If you've got one, I will buy it. The
use of a real number within the art created was
not intentional, the representative said in an
email to CBC News. Lavoie said she does not want
to change her phone number as it bears a 604
area code, which is difficult to get. I've had
my number for 20 years, she said. I don't want
to change it. I'll just keep not answering. LaVoise
said she would like a real apology from the company.
Fair point. I feel like I deserve a t -shirt
after this, LaVoise said. I think we both do.
You know, it would be funny if she, if they like
printed her one of those t -shirts that's like,
my phone number was leaked and all I got was
this stupid shirt. Oh yes. That is really, I
mean, just come out with a win. Right. Just come
out with the wind. Right, at least get the dub.
Yeah, so, uh, yeah. That's hilarious. That is
hilarious. Yeah, it's very strange that, you
know, people would do that. I'm sure there's
got to be phone numbers that they can use. Right,
like you do like the 555 phone number like the
TV shows do. You could even do like 8675309,
because that phone number can never be accessible
after that song came out. So like... There's
ideas. Even if you put in random numbers, the
chances of you hitting a real phone number kind
of high. Yes. You know? It really is. It really
is. So I love that. I love that. Non -stop calls.
Gotcha cat. You want it? It's going to cost you.
It's going to cost you. It's like, that's the
craziest part to me is the fact that there are
people out there who are crazy enough not only
to call a phone number you saw on a meme t -shirt.
Right. but to then default to ransom. For a cat
you clearly don't have because it's non -existent.
You clearly don't have. That's crazy. I have
your cat. It'll be $20 and some Arby's coupons
if you have them. It was most surprising is it's
British Columbia, which is Canada, which Canadians
are typically very nice people. Supposed to be
nicer, yeah. Who are these people extorting them
for their cat? That is crazy. It's American travelers.
It's gotta be. It's gotta be. Our influence is
undeniable. Yeah. It'll be $5 ,000 USD. Don't
mind that it's USD and not Canadian. Just the
exchange rate. It's the only reason we're doing
it. Oh God, that is crazy. That is insane. But
at any rate, that wraps us up for this week.
Once again, thank you so much for listening to
the Mark Mo Show podcast, beginning of season
three. I think we've got some good stuff lined
up for you. Definitely some fun interviews. We're
just going to have a good, hearty, wholesome,
fun time. Absolutely. A wholesome season three.
The people have been begging for it. They've
been begging for it. And every day we're not
wholesome. It's just, oopsie. They've been knocking.
We did it again. I did it again. That's all we
can sing. Yeah, before we get content matched.
Because we're too good. We are too good. We get
smooth when grooved up in here. Yeah, I'm not
paying Brittany any money. That's just not going
to happen. She has enough, I've heard. Oh, yeah.
But yeah, people have been knocking on our door
and calling us. Telling us they have a cat. Trying
to ransom. A cat that's not real. A cat that
isn't real. That is unbelievable. Jumping on
our trampolines naked. This whole show has just
been the story of our life. Let's face it. The
title oopsie is quintessential to our existence.
I think that's fair. I really do. As a matter
of fact, when I die, my tombstone is just going
to say oopsie. Oopsie. Like a manufacturer's
error on the headstone. Oopsie. Oopsie. Oh, man.
Who passed away? Who's dead here? Oopsie. Oopsie.
I know, right? The funeral manager's just like,
I know, right? Right? Holy. Oh, so good. And
who's the guy that keeps putting flowers here?
That's what I'd like to know. Oh, man. So you
have to dox a random phone number on your headstone?
Yes. Oopsie. And then a number. Ransom this number.
Hi, you've called me from the afterlife. Oopsie.
Oopsie. You've done it. You've done it. But thank
