Hey there, everybody. Welcome to The Mark Mo
Show. This is season three, episode two, titled
Icons. You can find us on all podcast platforms
and YouTube. I would like to introduce my co
-host and producer, Aidan Maloney. Aidan, how
you doing, man? Hi. Kind of a rough week, to
be honest. Thus the... off recording day and
off uploading day for all the lovely viewers
out there, so quite tough. But without getting
too far deep into it, the last 24 hours or so
have been fantastic. That's good. Been chillaxing.
We talked on the phone, which was very good.
Been chillaxing, playing a lot of chess. That's
good. Playing a lot of chess recently. I've been
watching a lot of chess content, right, on like
YouTube and stuff, people like... Clowning on
bad games with, you know, making sure to keep
the people who played them anonymous so you're
just clowning on bad chess without clowning on
people. So that's kind of entertaining. Like
people jumping into games being like, uh, excuse
me, what's a rook? Right. Yeah. Immediately blundering
the queen. It's like, ah, okay. I get the humor
and then I play it. And I've blundered my queen
more than once. And it's like, oh, I get it.
Oh, I get it. I see why you do that. Yeah. I've
slowly been improving. It's good to keep the
brain moving. And it's an intellectual game.
It's a thought -heavy game. So I've been quite
enjoying that. And it's keeping, not only keeping
my mind off of certain negative things going
on, but it's also It's also just a healthy practice,
you know? Some people do crosswords, which I
have also divulged into. I like playing Wordle
and little word games like that. So, you know,
if gaming is in your wheelhouse, I would say
take a break from the shooters every once in
a while, play some chess, play some Wordle, you
know? Definitely. Well, you know, it's a strategy
game. Right. And a lot of those other games,
shooter games, as you mentioned, are strategy
games anyway. That is also true. So do yourself
a favor, play a little chess, and then when you
play shooter games, you'll be a better player.
Exactly. You'll understand the advancing army,
different specialities, how different units can
work. Exactly. Yeah, something to think about.
No doubt. Well, Aidan, he has his own YouTube
gaming channel. It's called Aidan Spelled the
Right Way. And that's just because I don't know
why. Like, people still refer to Aiden as A -I
-D -E -N. Right. Even though clearly on his socials,
he's A -I -D -A -N. Right. And they just, I don't
know. I don't know what it is. I don't get, even
relatives. Right. It's like you knew me before
I knew I was conscious. And you knew how my name
was spelled. Yes. How are you getting it wrong?
You know what you literally need to start doing?
Like if people are like Aiden and that's spelled
the wrong way. Yeah, you need to be like, I'm
sorry. Who's that? Yeah, I'm not sure who that
is. I don't know who that is. Yeah, I'm Aiden
with an A. Did you mean to speak the right way?
Yeah, it's Aiden spelled the right way. Exactly.
Well, it's great PC gaming content like GeoGuessr
and PolyBridge, Observation Duty, and more each
and every week. What can everyone expect? Well,
I have several horror games on the to -do list.
I'm right in the middle of playing Poly Bridge
3, so that will continue. GeoGuessr, of course,
I've got this one fan who likes to suggest these
maps, and the maps usually turn out being fantastic,
so I love playing those also. That's awesome.
And then maybe a little bit of chess, if people
like watching someone who's not great at chess
learn at chess. Could be fun, I'm not sure. But,
you know, horror games... And then a handful
of little fun games as well. That's awesome.
I really want to play chess. So it's one of those
things you have to balance what do the fans want
versus what do I want. True. And you find a healthy
middle. So maybe this week I will upload chess.
Maybe. I'll upload me blundering my queen. Yep.
And so if there's people who love that content,
where can people find it? Aiden spelled the right
way on YouTube, of course, and you have to spell
it the right way to find me. So Aidan spelled
the right way so you can find that. AK219 is
back as well, you and me. That's right. The Mo
Show crew doing a little bit of gaming in there
and that's kind of going to be the channel for
collaboration is like AK219 because that's kind
of what it was meant for was collaboration and
like duos content. So AK219 is back. There's
an AK219 Patreon which has... Eden spelled the
right way and AK219 early and ad free if people
are interested. So check me out there if you'd
like. That's awesome. And you should like, subscribe,
all that kind of good stuff. Do the same right
here, baby. That's right. Absolutely. And if
you enjoy our content here on the Mark Mo Show,
check out my radio show. It is after hours. Alt
Rock, Irish punk. So things like Dropkick Murphy's,
Flogging Molly, The Tossers, stuff like that.
And then, of course, you know, with Alt Rock,
I don't have to name all the bands, Glass Animals
comes immediately to mind, Alt J. like that yeah
that's the kind of music we play so we win but
we have a good mix I don't want to knock Some
of the the godfathers of alt rock from the late
80s 90s early 2k's That kind of paved the way
that's kind of the schtick to that show is that
you know that music is from yesterday and today
So it's like I do like to kind of mix it up a
little bit and we have fun Yeah, your genre fluid,
you know, you don't buy yourself in I really
don't as a matter of fact prior to me making
this change about a year ago We were hard rock
and metal and we did quite a bit of that, but
we still manage to veer left when people thought
we'd veer right, and we used to do some different
shows every now and then. See, Gwen, you thought
they'd zag. Exactly, exactly. But more often
than not, you're going to get the alt rock and
the Irish punk music. And once again, it's called
After Hours, Tuesday nights at 9 p .m. Central
Standard Time, Fridays at 4 p .m. Central Standard
Time. And you can find the stream at wvlp .org.
And you can also find it on your TuneIn app on
your handheld device. Now, this past week, we
lost an icon in sports entertainment, and we
lost another icon in heavy metal music. So, we'll
start with one, Terry Bollea, better known as
Hulk Hogan, passed away at 71 years old. He wrestled
for the AWA, the WWF, the WCW, TNA, and WWE.
He had multiple championship runs over a career
that spanned over four decades. During the 1980s,
he was one of the most popular people alive,
period, end of sentence. TV shows, movies, cartoons,
serials, apparel, toys, so much more. During
the latter part of his career, he... Things were
not kind to him So there was like this weird
adult video thing that kind of messed with him
And there was a lawsuit and all kinds of stuff
that ensued with that Then there was an audio
recording of him uttering some racist slurs and
things like that So you say probably tarnished
his legacy But in being an icon in sports entertainment,
being at what it is, it would not be what it
is if it was not for Hulk Hogan. So it is fair
to give him his flowers, no matter what a D bag
he may have become right later in life. So I
think it's fair to mention that. Secondly, as
the Osborne passed away at 76 years old, you
could say he was the godfather of metal music,
a legend. Absolute Legend started his career
frontman to the legendary metal group Black Sabbath.
After several groundbreaking albums he made his
way into the solo scene. performing with the
likes of Leta Ford and Randy Rhoades and Jakey
Lee and Zach Wild. Over five decades Ozzy sold
out arenas, sold millions of albums. He's also
the founder of OzFest, which I found today. I
was talking with my friend Joe. He's a lover
of metal, or not metal, well, all music. And
we're gonna do a collab with him coming up. In
the future, we'll talk more about that later,
but because we both love music, at any rate,
he had told me something about OzFest that I
didn't know, worth mentioning right now since
I just mentioned it, that OzFest came to be because
Ozzy wanted to be on Lollapalooza. And the Lollapalooza
people kind of responded in saying, we appreciate
your contributions to music. You're just not
our type. We don't find you very interesting
or compelling. Right, right. It's like... Applying
for a job. It's like well. Thank you for your
inquiry. However, however Mind you if you if
you if you have a music resume like an Ozzy Osborne.
It's probably like five pages long References
out the yin -yang right and they're just like
God. Thank you, but no, thank you You're not
our type and so to that Ozzy and his wife Sharon
were like, oh Oh, okay. That's fine. We're gonna
do Lala, but better. We're gonna do metal Lala.
Right. And it's gonna be a hella cooler than
whatever the hell you guys are doing. Right.
And so it was amazing. It was an American Metal
Festival that brought so many, because there's
so many different genres within metal. Maybe
more genres than any other type of music are
in metal, without a doubt. Sure. And they brought
all those genres together under one festival.
Fantastic. You know, but to be fair, just like
we said with Hogan, despite his tremendous success,
he had animal rights groups up his yin -yang
because during the 80s he, I don't know, oh here's
a bat, let me bite its head off on stage. Okay,
incredibly metal. But you just killed an animal.
He was just being a goofy goober, man. He was
just being a goofy goober. He's like, ah, these
things cause diseases anyway. I'm just going
to bite his head off. But you know, they had
animal rights groups kind of on them. And he
had a lot of alcohol and substance abuse issues.
Snorting ants or whatever that was? Yes. That
story, you told me that. Yes, that's actually
in Motley Crue's... Quote -unquote documentary.
It's called the dirt Which is an actual movie.
It's not a documentary, but it's on their life's
loosely based I guess you could say but the scene
at the pool it was basically what all the members
of the band had said and basically just like
Ozzy showing up at the pool taking a leak in
the pool not give it two craps he's like ah guys
watch this and Literally snorted a line of ants
like he was snorting a line of coke. That's crazy
Unbelievable. Crazy fellow. He was definitely
a crazy dude. But I used the term icon for both
these guys because they were iconic. There's
no question. But notice I didn't use a term like
say like role model. Sure. Greta Thunberg is
a role model. Ukrainian president Zelensky is
a role model. These dudes are not. To be fair.
They had impacts on our lives without a doubt.
But role models they were not. They were talented.
business smart, influence generations. It's fair
to say that these guys wouldn't necessarily win
any humanitarian awards. Sure. Although for Ozzy's
last show, to be fair, he raised millions of
dollars for charity. Like nine figures. Nine
figures. Yeah. So once again, deserves credit
on that without it. He literally was dying. Yeah.
So when he made some comment about dying, it
wasn't just like, oh, I'm old, I'm dying. No,
he was dying. Yeah. And he went off his meds
to do that show. because he wanted to be lucid
and he wanted to do a good job. And to think
of the immeasurable pain he probably was in doing
that blows my mind. It really does. So no matter
the impact a human makes on society, whether
it's science or politics, advocacy, even if it's
pop culture, I think it's always important to
remember the humans are flawed. We all make mistakes.
And now I'm not talking about like people that
kill people or somebody that abuses an animal
or abuses kids, president. Right. That's different.
Those people should be buried under the prison.
I'm talking about humans being humans. You know,
these two guys were not perfect by any stretch
and they did dumb shit, but they were also iconic.
And we can remember these guys for their impact
and what they had and the legacy. that they damaged
was their own for whatever reason, whether it's
doing all the substances or a video where you
have race or slurs or whatever the case is, that's
the damage they've kind of done on their own.
But the impact, the work that they did to make
the impact that they made in sports entertainment
and in metal music, you can you absolutely cannot
deny that. Sure. I would agree. So I guess, you
know, like what I would what I would give to
you at this point is like, what are your thoughts
on both these guys? And do you agree kind of
this path that I've kind of laid out here? To
a large extent I do. I think my, you could say
counter comments, my controversial take if you
will, specifically about Hulk Hogan, is the fact
that in life he was a union busting fascist -aligned
shitbag. That's fair. Can't argue that. I agree
with the point that his impact on pop culture
and wrestling as a whole was immeasurable, iconic,
as you said. But I don't, and this could be taken
the wrong way, but I'm gonna say it regardless,
I don't feel bad. That he passed. I don't feel
like the world is worse off because of it. I
can still feel bad and Feel sorry for the family
for their loss of course sure but You align yourself
with a pedophilic rapist Want to be dictator.
I don't feel bad if you're gone. You know there's
a fair comment That's when you were mentioning
certain lines being crossed and being buried
under the prison If you align yourself with someone
that deserves to be buried under the prison...
You should probably be alongside him, is what
you're saying? I'm just saying... I don't feel
so bad. Okay, that's fair. That's all I'm saying.
I fully recognize his impact, positive impact,
in the pop culture world. But, yeah, specifically
that would be my counter -argument, devil on
the shoulder, devil's advocate, take on that.
As far as Ozzy goes, I mean... sure, it was strange
and Strange and weird that he ate a bat on stage
and there are probably super high when he did
it probably super high when he did it doesn't
excuse the behavior note does that but I Mean,
I feel bad for the bat that the bat got its head.
That's right. Like hey, why is this guy grabbing
me? Hey, what's going on? Oh that hurt so that's
that is an unfortunate mark on on his history,
but I don't think he ever aligned himself with
a pedophilic dictator. So, I mean, losing Ozzy,
both for the metal world and music as a whole,
is highly unfortunate. But the legacy he leaves
behind, the countless fantastic albums and songs,
so far greater. Yeah, absolutely. So, yeah, it
is an interesting conversation topic of how do
you treat people who have passed when they've
done both? You know, they've done good in their
lines of work, but then they've also done bad.
Yeah, in their personal life they might be a
douchebag. Sure, sure. One more than the other.
It's a difficult conversation. It is. It's kind
of one that I've had with you in the past. I've
had some with my friends, you know, where you
look at, I don't know, say like a Bill Clinton,
and you might be like... Oh, I really appreciate
some of the things he did while he was president.
In other words, getting rid of like automatic
weapons and doing other things like that. Sure.
Like there were things he did that were very
good and very impactful. Does that excuse him
from things with an intern and a cigar in the
Oval Office? Does it excuse him from being on
the Epstein list, which doesn't exist? Haha.
Yeah. You know, once again, it's complex. For
me, one of my favorite actors of all time is
Kevin Spacey. And that's tough. And it's tough
for me because he did what he did. And even though
they settled, that doesn't mean that those things
didn't happen. That he didn't put that kid under
a certain amount of pressure that made him incredibly
uncomfortable. Right. It's hard to excuse that.
Now, even though he may be like, oops, I'm sorry,
there's a lot of things you can excuse. You know,
things you say, things you do in a daily life
where you can be like, oh, I was in a bad head
space, I'm so sorry I did that. And you can choose
to forgive or not to forgive and so many things
in life like that. Something like that though,
it's like, it's just, it's tougher. Right, and
then you get into the argument of... can you
separate, can you slash should you separate the
art from the artist? Correct. You know, because
growing up one of my favorite hip -hop artists
was Kanye West. Sure. And you want to talk about
someone that is one of the more controversial
individuals in the music industry, it's Kanye
West. Right, because mentally over the past five,
six, seven years he has really checked out. Oh
yeah, yeah, and it's like... I feel weird listening
to his music because I'm like, wow, this is good
music. And then I'm like, by listening to it,
am I supporting his numbers? Am I supporting
his wallet? Am I supporting this type of behavior?
It's the weird in between of like, I would like
to listen to this music because I enjoy it. But
can you do that without... supporting the artist.
It's hard. It's very hard. It's hard to do. You
know, because I'll, same difference. You know,
I'll sit there. Wait till I get my money. That's
all you get, by the way. That's all you get.
We're not getting a copyright. Copyright, yeah.
No, we're not doing that. But yeah, like. You
could always just sing the Jamie Foxx side of
Gold Dagger. She take my money when I'm in need.
Yeah, go David. Yeah, so I agree with that. That's
funny. But yeah, that's a tough thing to do,
separating that artist, the thing they've created,
the thing that they've done. And then they do
something on the side and you have to kind of
make that decision for yourself. You know, can
I still appreciate what they've created and still
denounce them for the things that they've done
personally? Right. I think it's kind of on a
case by case basis and what is the trigger for
you. Right. Because, you know, for example, if
The Negotiator comes on the TV, it's a movie
with Kevin Spacey and Samuel L. Jackson. It takes
place in Chicago. And it's just a great cop movie.
It's like if it comes on, do I go, oh, man, he's
kind of a pedophile douchebag. Now I'm just going
to shut this off. Or it's like. God, I love this
movie. Or can you just enjoy the movie? Or can
you just enjoy the movie and separate that? You
could argue the same thing with Baby Driver.
I mean, you have several controversial figures
in that movie. It's like, it's a really good
movie. Do I watch it? Captain Spacey's awesome
in that movie. Exactly. So, yeah, that might
be a good topic to have a long discussion on
in a future episode of like, art versus the artist.
I think so. I think so. Because it really, it's
a tough thing because you... And I know that,
because obviously I've lived a longer life, so
there are a lot more people that have had a pop
culture impact in my life, and not even just
pop culture, it could be political, it could
be anything else, where that person, it's just
like, yes, I hold them in high esteem, and they
do something, and now you're like, well, damn.
Yeah, exactly. And you're just trying to figure
out if you can still enjoy some of that content,
but still, as I said, denounce them. for what
they do. Right. And that kind of leads back into
what we were saying a bit earlier with these,
you know, iconic, for better or for worse, individuals
who have now passed. Right. Right. Because it's
the same argument, but now they're dead. So now
you've got certain lines of insensitivity people
may claim if you use certain words. But I would
argue you can be fair. while kinda towing the
line of insensitivity, because the line of insensitivity
is mostly gray. Sure. Who finds what insensitive
when talking about those who have passed. You
can still be fair. You can still be fair and
be like, okay, I mean, I'm not gonna boycott
WWE just because Hulk Hogan was a piece of shit.
Exactly. But it's also fair to say a piece of
shit even though he's gone. I would argue. No,
and that's a solid argument. That's definitely
one you can stand by for sure. And it's a loss
either way. It was shocking in that he was 71
years old and the dude still had 16 and a half
inch pythons and he was still in shape and what
most people didn't know is that I guess the days
prior he was really super ill and then gone.
Right, sometimes it happens that fast. Sometimes
it just happens that way, happens that fast.
And I think that was probably more shocking than
anything had we heard, oh, Hulk Hogan's battling
an illness and he's like this slow, whatever.
And at that point, I don't know. At that point,
I kind of think if you're in the light, right,
you're someone popular, if you have an illness,
even if it's a terminal, whatever, it kind of
gives you that perspective like, wow, my days
here are numbered. Right. I need to make some
things right. I'm not sure how right he made
things. I would agree. And I think to a certain
respect, as I said, separate of like, you know,
the dude that grabs an AR and takes out a school
bus or something. Right. That dude, F him. You
know, I hope they bury him on a fire anthill.
Right. But with someone that, you know, the uttered
racial slur or someone that bit head off a bat
or, you know, just other things. There there
is a path to redemption for people that don't
do absolutely horrific things I think But you
can tell if people are being genuine if people
are like I want to be a better human being right
because I I and maybe I'm just built different
I'm a lot like my dad and I was just in a mental
health Festival this weekend, which could be
something that we talk about at a later date,
but In doing that I always try to see the better
part of people and maybe that's a flaw in me
Maybe that ends up just blinding me to certain
things at times but I always really try to see
the best in people and if give people that opportunity
to Seek redemption to be a better person And
I don't necessarily want to penalize someone
for trying to do that, because we are human.
We are naturally, especially being guys, we just
tend to do stupid shit. But just giving people
that path to be like, hey, I did A, B, and C,
and I am sorry I was in a bad headspace. I don't
know what I was thinking. I want to be a better
person. I'm not going to deny them that. Sure,
I would never deny anyone that, and I want people
to be able to do that. We are here once as far
as we know, and I want people to have that path
if they eff up. And just like I'm not perfect,
and I know I've done stupid shit, and I don't
feel in the next 30 or 40 or 50 years or two,
I don't know how long I'm gonna be around, but
in the time I'm here, I would expect... If I've
done things wrong in the past, no matter how
insignificant, maybe they were, but I think it's
significant, no matter what, to be able to go
up to someone and be like, hey, you know that
thing, I'm so sorry. You know, I'm trying to
be a better person, blah, blah. Anybody should
have that opportunity, in my opinion. And I'm
someone, if someone did me wrong and came up
to me and was like, hey, Mark, I'm sorry, blah,
blah, blah. Unless it's repetitive repetitive
repetitive sure I am going to give that person
that chance yeah without a doubt and that's that's
the thing with apologies especially those who
have narcissistic behavior or are generally problematic
is An apology doesn't fix anything an apology
lets the person know you're sorry for what you
did it takes changed behavior Yeah to prove that
you're sorry, so it is it is both the apology
and the changed behavior that truly throws the
ball into the other person's court, whether or
not they forgive you and move past it, whether
or not they just move on with their own lives,
then the ball's in their court, but apologies
do indeed take change behavior as well, and looping
it back around to the whole Hull -Cogan thing
you were mentioning before, I didn't see any
of that. That's fair, yeah. If your doc is like,
hey man, you might have three days. It's like
whoa whoa you're nearing that finish line you
better step up my guy. Yeah, how many? how much
can I apologize for in three days like I Mean
if your whole Kogan and your head is actually
screwed on right, and you know you have three
days left I'm like okay. Here's a million dollars
to BLM. Here's a public apology. You know I'll
do some kind of I don't know, live stream fundraiser
for charity or something. None of that happened.
He knew his days were numbered and he just went
out. So, you know, you have two legacies. You've
got your legacy as a pop culture icon and you've
got your legacy as a racist union buster. Yeah,
that's true. interesting how that pans out. The
funny thing when I put this together, I kind
of thought you would have this view and I appreciate
that because that's, I guarantee you, and just
in social media, this has been bantered about
since his passing. Oh yeah, I've seen some of
it. There are some wrestlers that are kind of
like... you know, had kinda checked out on him
or whatever, even some younger ones that are
like, nope, I can't, and this and that. And then
some people came down on them, and I'm like,
I don't agree with that. I'm like, if people
aren't saying, oh, I'll piss on your grave, they're
not going that far, they're just saying, hey,
you know, this is a complex legacy he has left
for himself. I didn't do it, he's done it on
himself, and I don't. need to feel that sorry
or reminisce or anything like that. To me, it's
a guy died. Right. And that's fine. I can't tell
other people how to think or how to feel. That's
everything is on a case by case on that. So I
kind of appreciate that. No, I would agree completely.
No doubt. Well, it's awesome. And like always,
we always tell you guys out there. Share whatever
you want on the socials. Mark Maloney, Aidan
Maloney, AK219, you got the Mark Mo Show, Maloney
Media on Instagram. You can find us anytime,
reach out to us, send us a message. We'd love
to know what your take is on all of this. Absolutely.
And at any rate... Appreciate pop culture wise
what both those guys did was pretty amazing stuff
without question and That takes care of our opening
dialogue Next up is Carpe Diem right after this
break All right, we are back everybody and it
is time for Carpe Diem you send us the DMS we
read them on air and if you ask a question Well,
uh, well... We don't have to... Yeah, we don't
have to answer them. We could, if we want. We're
not obligated to. No. We are open to coercion.
That is true. So you can say, hey, here's my
question $10, and at that point we'll be like,
oh, that's a great question. Like most federal
politicians, we can be bribed. We can be bribed,
yeah. And it's not illegal. As a matter of fact,
I think... We call it lobbying. Lobbying. Yeah,
we're not governed under any anything. I don't
think no You could even just call yourself super
PAC and give us like 12 million dollars You could
do that and we'll be like we'll be heavily swayed.
Exactly. Yeah without question for sure We'll
let people die on health care deaf a big pharma.
Give us 12 million dollars. Why not? Those people
had it coming That's fine. It's what they get
for being poor. That's what they get. What, you're
poor? So what? Oh, God. But anyway, if you send
us a DM... It blows my mind that's actually the
average conservative mindset. Sadly. Yeah. That's
insane. That is not a joke. No, that's for real.
That's for reals, yeah, no doubt. But yeah, people
send us your DMs, we're gonna read them on the
air, we're gonna have fun with it. I'm gonna
start with mine first. I had one from at Leroy
Jenkins. My man. Sup, my brothers. Hulk Hogan
is gone. Lots of childhood memories, but the
adult memories aren't so good. A fantastic point,
Leroy. We just got done talking about that, Leroy.
Exactly. Always quick with the Leroy Jenkins.
Yes. It's a fantastic reference. I haven't thought
about Leroy Jenkins in a while. Leroy Jenkins.
Love it, love it. What is he talking about? What?
But no, that's, yeah, I mean, that's the complicated
legacy that we were just talking about. And it's
totally fair. to hold onto those childhood memories
as good. Oh, sure. Like him beating the Iron
Sheik for his first time. I will never forget
that moment. That was pretty incredible. Or when
he turned on Sting and Lex Luger and they became
the NW. Like, that's iconic shit. That's why
we use the term iconic. Right, right. But not
so much good things. Sure. You know, complicated
as we said. Yes. Very complicated. I saw the
Fantastic Four movie. Not sure if you are going
to review it, but it was very mid in my estimation.
Can Marvel recover? Well, I just saw it, bro.
Are you for real? I am for real. I am a bro and
I am for real. I will say this. I did see it.
I don't feel the way you did. I did like the
movie. I thought it was good. I thought it was
very much... And it pays homage to the comic
books. I got that was great and then they end
the movie and then there's a quote by Kirby and
it's just it's great stuff like it was really
They did it right if you remember the other funny
testing. Yeah, you remember the other fantastic
four movies They're just kind of campy and kind
of yeah, you know, whatever I loved the bit in
the Deadpool movie where Chris Evans came back
as that. As that guy. Loved it. Amazing. Johnny
Flamer, whatever the fuck. Yep, exactly. Well,
Johnny Storm is technically his name, but he
turns into a ball of fire or whatever. Nice skill.
Nice skill. I have a garden hose. I'm not gonna
bag on the Fantasfor based on their skills. It
is what it is. Hey, I'm stretchy. Wow, great.
I'm fat. I mean... You know, what are we doing
here? You know, it's like, really Sue is the
only one that got some weird cosmic force field
moving. Like she got some, and she can become
invisible. Like she's got some stuff. Like, oh,
why about rock? Okay, you know, clobbering time.
It's kind of, eh, you know. It's almost like
they took the idea from like Mega Man, right?
It's like, oh, what is Rock Man weak to? Pickaxe
Man. What is fireman week 2? Oh, waterman. I'm
the water hose. What is stretchy man week 2?
This is incredible. I don't know. Liquid nitrogen?
That might be a complex situation for it. Get
frozen, stupid. Get frozen. So it's like, look,
if you're going to nitpick, yeah. The skills
are kind of whatever. Besides being stretchy,
the dude's a genius. So it's kind of like the
whole Tony Stark thing, right? So dude's a genius
and he can be like, oh, I got a solution to this
because I am incredibly smart. Even argue Professor
Hulk. Sure. Professor Hawke as well. Yeah. So
it's like, OK, yep, your brain is probably more
valuable than just about anything else. You do.
Right. I totally get that. But no, the movie
itself was good. It was entertaining. As I said,
it paid homage to the comics. So I think if you're
just a comic book fan and you're a fan of the
comic genre, I think you will enjoy it for sure.
And. you know, the Galactus and the Silver Surfer
to the word iconic, I guess that's the name of
the show, right? So the iconic villains, it was
solid. I mean, it was just solid how they did
it. And they were able to do it without kind
of a long intro or backstory, like the way they
did it. kind of told a story like within five
minutes. Oh, the Fantastic Four. They almost
did it in a storytelling mode to kind of catch
you up to be like, oh, and here they are. Right,
because they've done the Fantastic Four origins
three times already. Exactly. They didn't need
to do it again. Right, right. People know who
they are. Yeah. And so that part was fine. So
like I said, I enjoyed it. I'll do an official
review next week. But no, bro, I... Chill out,
bro. Bro, we cannot agree. And that's for real.
We cannot agree. It was entertaining and they're
setting up something bigger because we got the
two big Avenger movies coming up and they got
a lot of shit to wrap up in a short amount of
time. So I think they've started doing that.
And the post credit scene is awesome. Everybody
in the theater, everybody in the theater was
like, ooh. Nice. So once they do that, you're
just like, hey, uh -oh, getting tingly's again.
I'm like, uh -oh, Marvel's doing something here.
So I feel positive about that. And I don't know,
half the theater clapped after the movie was
over. Good. Very good. It's not a bad sign. That's
how it should be. Yep. Could you imagine, since
we were talking about stretchy people, it doesn't
align with, you know, Mr. Fantastic Four guy
But you know Mrs. Incredible from the Incredibles
movie. Yeah, could you imagine how easy childbirth
was for her? Super like splat that open be like
Slide that bad puppy out right out like hey,
I'm totally fine. This is not problematic for
me She's probably like doing her frickin nails
be like oh it happened Cool, yeah, I mean yeah,
that's that's funny It's an interesting take
on Ms. Incredible. What was her name? Pixar?
Myra? Does she have a name? I don't know. I haven't
seen the movie in years. No. Probably a decade
plus. It's been a while. Yeah, it's been a while.
It's been a while. That's all you get. Big stained
fans. Big, big stained fans. But you wonder how
many other things are stretchy on him. Anyway.
It's why he's got Mrs. Incredible. That's right.
Because he's not that handsome. He's new. I'm
granted Pedro Pascal. I'm talking about Pedro
Pascal's great. Right. The previous Mr. Incredibles.
Right. They locked that down a different way.
They kind of lacked it. Yeah. They lacked it.
Sure. Here's White Man. Okay. Yeah, right. That
was it. What's cool is white man is stretchy.
Okay. Wow. Fantastic. He can get my beer from
across the room. Thank you for your service.
He allows me to be lazy. Right. At Penny the
Pinscher. Damn, me too. Uh, maybe I'm weird,
but I like a guy who shows me a good time and
doesn't spend a lot of money. First date and
the guy is blowing his wad on it usually means
money is about all he has to offer. Curious take.
That's a curious take, is it not? I think, and
I don't think that's necessarily a controversial
take, I just think, yo. Every individual has
their ideals of what a first date should be and
if that's yours, that's fantastic for sure I
would kind of agree, but that's also because
I don't have wads to spend on a first date But
yeah, I don't know especially if you're talking
about millionaires dating millionaires You have
the the means to blow a wad on a first date You
know you you sure you could spend a couple a
couple racks and not even feel it but for like
the working -class individuals it's It's a lot
different if you can prove that you know you
are not only a good and kind person But also
provide a good time provide some laughs without
spending hundreds of dollars. I think that that
can prove like, hey, you can be this good, kind,
funny person without having to spend the money.
Sure. And I think that's admirable because especially
in working class America these days, there's
not a lot of money to spend. No. You know? There's
not. And I kind of, conversely, I kind of like
the idea of a first date being let's grab a cup
of coffee and take a walk. Like that. Let's yeah,
let's go to the beach. There's some trails back
there. We can walk around enjoy the Sun Maybe
take a dip, you know do that kind of stuff that
that costs nothing or that costs very little
and have a day like that Think it's a know that
person sure and have it not be about And what
and trust me when I say there's a lot of people
that don't have money they go man. It's a first
date. I got to roll it out but You don't have
to have that expectation. You don't, man. The
steak and the lobster and going into your nearest
big city and doing all... I mean, it's like,
look, you've got future anniversaries. You've
got future other things where you can do things
like that. First dates are about getting to know
someone, man. Sure. And that should be the focus.
Yes. If your partner's ideal first date is steak
and lobster and blowing a couple racks... Perhaps
you guys weren't meant to go on a first date
after all. No, maybe that person's not for you,
right? And that's fine. You know, like you said,
find someone that's okay with or even happy with,
you know, let's grab a coffee and go on a nature
walk, go on a tiny little one mile hike or something.
Yeah. You know, chat. have some caffeine exactly
for you i hear it's it's good for you it is vitamins
and iron and i don't know that vitamins and iron
i don't know that without a cup of coffee man
i don't know just grab a coffee just grab a coffee
but that's i don't know that's what i would say
i would just say I agree with your take, but
in the same sense, it's like, it shouldn't be
about that. And if you're a woman and the guy's
like, oh, I'm gonna roll it out and we're gonna
go to a fancy place and then we're gonna go to
a fancy bar where the drinks are 15 fricking
dollars and all that. It's like, look, that's
all fine and good. But if the end of the night
comes and... And I shouldn't just say, man, a
woman could ask a guy out. I'm not going to make
it one sex or the other here. But, you know,
the person that's rolling out that heavy cash
is just like you shouldn't. You shouldn't have
to. That shouldn't be like, oh, this was a great
date because we went here. No, it was a great
date because because you spent time with a great
conversation. And I made her laugh and she made
me laugh. And we had some similar stories and
we have some things in common. That's at a first
date. That should be the main take. Right. Right.
Should be the person, not the location. Absolutely.
So save, save your dollars for that anniversary
date. Yeah. There you go. Um, my last one is
from at stonerstanley420. My man. I'm not sure
what's happening here, but here we go. Okay.
Um, I hid in a tree, Momo and Alan. They were
coming for me. Oh shit. When I said the thing
the day ago. Uh oh. Why? It happens, I guess.
I fell on Kevam. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
There's so much happening. Okay, so he falls
on Kevam. He fell on Kevam. Out of the tree,
I'm assuming. He's been absent for many, many
months now. Many months. So that probably lends
to the fact that we haven't seen him, because...
He's under Stan Lee. Yeah, Stan fell on him.
Is Stoner a resident, or does he have a green
card? If they're after him, it could be... It
could be ice. It's interesting. It could be ice.
Could be. The Gestapo. So I would just say I'm
rooting for you, Stan. Yeah. Or it could be like
DEA. Could be the DEA. Could be DEA if he's in
somewhere that... Could very well be. His, you
know, fancy little devil's lettuce isn't legal.
Like Indiana. Oh, God. So stupid. Yeah. But it
was great. And, you know, they were coming for
me when I said the thing the day... What did
you say? That is true. And who did you say it
to? Right. Clearly it's not Kevin because you
fell on him. That's true. Unless you said it
to Kevin. And what if Kevin was coming for him?
Or if Kevin ratted Stan out to whoever is now
coming for him. Oh, I wonder. Interesting. There's
a lot there. There's a lot to unpack. There really
is. There's more questions than answers. I'm
really concerned for Stanley right now. Yeah.
I want to like carpe diem him and be like what
the fuck? Yeah, it's like come on dude. What's
going on? So stoner hang in there. Maybe stay
out of trees for a while Or stay in the tree
or stay in the tree if they're really coming
for them, right? Yeah, if you can find food and
water in a tree That's that's a skill if you
still got your van get in it get in it's like
hours Yeah, if it runs, I don't even know if
it does. I think it's just as if it's just stayed
there Yeah. It's the one thing cars hate to do
is not drive. Yep. You know? Ah, stoner. Be safe.
My man. Be safe. Kevin, just stay away. Yeah,
he's gonna fall on you again. He's gonna fall
on you. God forbid. There's gonna be problems
and then you won't be able to play. hockey or
foosball or whatever. Whatever these kids these
days play. Anyway, we got Aidan's DMs coming
up. Got some DMs here. I got one here from Jumbo
Bumbo. Asking, in your opinion, what are some
overhyped tourist attractions? It's a good one.
And I, of course, have traveled less than you
have. But my immediate thought was overseas.
I've heard... how boring and tiny the Mona Lisa
is. Like going to the Louvre, Louvre, whatever
it is, going to the Louvre, and then it's just
like this tiny painting on a wall. It's like,
well, yeah, it looks just like it does on Google
Images, but smaller. It's like, okay, cool, now
I've wasted my time and money. So, Mona Lisa
was the first thing that came to mind. I'm not
that familiar with other tourist attractions.
I know some good ones, like the... what is it
the sky sky lift skybox in chicago sears tower
oh the ledge sky view or whatever yeah yeah uh
that's that's go to the top and third floor there
is yep 103 floors up And I still believe that
tallest in America. Maybe I don't know who knows
but you get out there and there's like this this
glass ledge That's like goes like four or five
feet out. Yeah beyond the edge of the building
The street below is right below you you can look
down. Yeah, and I guess now the the glass wall
tilts forward at a 45 degree angle and you can
leave lay against it and I would not do that.
I don't know about that. I would not do that.
But that's not one thing I would say. That's
a good one. In Chicago, I would say it's the
Bean. Its official name is called Skygate. Which
is just dope. But you go to Millennium Park,
and it's right off of Michigan Avenue and Randolph,
and it's called the Bean because it looks like
a big bean. It's a big silver bean. And everybody
goes to it, and it's reflective, so it's like
a mirror. So is it good for a selfie or a photo
op? Yes, because you get but there's gonna be
dozens of people around you tons of people You're
not gonna get it clean. No, they're gonna be
people photo bombs all that but it's just a big
beam There's like there's the I mean, that's
like traveling down the highway and having Clark
Griswold go Oh as big as a ball of mud in the
world. Exactly. You might as well go see that.
Yeah, it's just to be it's like a highway traction
Yeah, so if you're coming to Chicago, there's
other things. I'm originally from the city uh
don't don't get the beans the bean it's not go
to millennium park there's other cool shit in
the park i'm not saying don't go there i'm just
saying you can you can skip you can just skip
the bean yeah uh there's nothing really go go
to the buckingham fountain that's cool as shit
yeah there you go that's that's if it's on if
it's if it's odd like sometimes you walk by you're
like what the hell is it not on it's a clear
day it's 80 degrees it's gorgeous why is it not
on um well it's because chicago sold all of the
parking fines to a foreign country another broke
yeah Again. Again. Yeah. Oh, God. We didn't have
the money to turn the phone on. Sorry, guys.
Didn't have it. But yeah, that one is kind of,
it's kind of unimpressive. I'm kind of thinking
kind of on the fly here, because as Aidan said,
I've been a lot of places. I would say another
one, another one could be, I'm trying to think
Washington DC. You could argue Times Square.
You go to Times Square, you're just being advertised
to on bigger screens. It's just, it's a hot mess
down there. It's a hot mess. It's busy, you're
just being advertised to. There's big screens
everywhere. It's a shopping mall with a lot of
traffic. Yeah, like, oh, big screens. Here's
35 Kodak ads. Yeah. Kodak's fucking dead. Why
am I being shown these ads? No, you're going
to New York City. There are much better places
to go. You skip out on that. That's a good call
for sure. I'm trying to think of something out
of Washington DC. The White House is intimidating.
I understand why. It is like the single greatest
home field advantage of any country. And it's
very cool inside. We've been inside. So that
is cool. The Lincoln Memorial, man, you walk
up those stairs and there's that marble link.
That's unfrickin' real. Smithsonian is amazing.
So there's so many cool things in DC. Little
boats to the Statue of Liberty. Yes. Not that
it means anything these days. It doesn't mean
anything anymore. Now it's just a lady holding
a light. France should just reclaim it. She should.
She should be like, well, the reason for that
doesn't exist anymore, so we're going to take
her back. Just walk away like in Ghostbusters.
We're going to take her back and give her to
Palestine. We've just acknowledged it should
be a country. So, gosh, I'm trying to think of
some other place. Okay. Tampa Bay. there's like
this sky bridge thing and It's massive this massive
bridge that goes over the bay, but it goes really
really really really high Oh over the water like
when you are getting on the bridge It's like
driving up a 45 degree angle which seems like
five minutes or longer You're just going up going
up going up going up and man. I just like I feel
it in my nuts, folks. I just, like, it starts
tingling, and you're like, Augusta Wynn's gonna
come, and I'm gonna go in the bay. I don't like
this. This is not good. And then you get to the
top, and then there's, like, signs every 20 feet.
You know, don't kill yourself. Suicide Hotline,
because people used to do it all the time, I
guess. Yeah, just jump. Because if you're that
high up and you hit... the water. It's like concrete.
It's like concrete. You're just going to splat
and then the fish are going to eat you and you're
done. Yeah. And so you like see that. I'm like,
that's not comforting. No, I'm already up here.
I'm already tingling. And now they're telling
me not to kill myself. Right. So maybe from a
distance, it's a cool thing to see on it. Fuck
that bridge. Right. Right. I don't I don't like
it at all. You could argue the same for the San
Fran. Golden Gate Golden Gate I'll go as far
is to say going out to Key West because that
is like island island island island island and
so you're over water half the time right these
roads and there's one stretch where it's like
you're over the water for like seven miles cool
and it's just nothing but water you're like what
if the bridge fails well what if the bridge if
what what if yeah The bridge fails. Looking at
the bridge is cooler than being on the bridge.
All right. Should I have my windows open? Should
I be ready to swim? I mean, you're thinking crazy
shit because you're like, if I go, I go. I mean,
there's nothing I can do. Your seatbelt cutters
in your right hand, your left hand's on the wheel.
Like, oh God. Exactly. Oh man, it's crazy. Like,
oh, should I have a life jacket on? I don't know.
But yeah, so like bridges is like a thing for
me. There's one over Lake Pontchartrain going
into New Orleans, and that's over a really big
lake. And so it's just like this length. that
lane coming the other way and just water. And
you're like, ah, I don't like this either. So
I go over, not only am I like, oh, I'm over a
lake. You're like, oh, well, at least it's not
saltwater. At least it's not a shark. No, it's
just probably filled with alligators who are
going to eat me anyway. Sure. Yeah. So bridges
in general, not a fan. Cooler to see than beyond.
100%. Yeah. Yeah. I would definitely agree with
that. And then once again, I will throw this
out there. This one might be controversial. I'm
going to say the Hollywood side. Not that it
doesn't look cool if I'm standing below. By the
way, if you've played GTA 5, you know how to
get around Los Angeles. Feel free to go. You're
going to know where you're going. Exactly. You've
got experience. Yeah. Literally, one of the first
times I played the game, I looked at Aiden, I'm
like, why does it feel like... I haven't played
this game before. Why do I feel like I know where
I'm going? I'm like, oh, I've been to LA. It's
LA. It's LA. Holy shit. And it's just like you
have a feel where first shit is. Oh, it's amazing.
So the Hollywood sign from the valley, when you're
looking down, up at it, is kind of neat. But
if you're up in the hills and it's like there...
It's just, you realize, it's this cheaply made,
wooden, shitty sign. Like there's nothing special
about it. And then they have the gall to copyright
anything with the sign in it, which is just fucking
bogus. It's like, who gives you the right? Who
gives you the right to do that? And I wonder
how legally, what is the legality of copyrighting
a public work of art that someone else can catch,
it's in public. If someone else captures it,
you claim their capture of it? That's insane.
I have not heard a single other piece of art
that that applies to. Agreed. Yeah. That's insane.
That is insane. Yeah. I would totally agree with
that. Yeah. The only other thing I'll mention
before I move on, and this was one that we visited,
I'm trying to think if you were on that trip,
I think it might've just been the girls, where
we saw Mount Rushmore. I wasn't there, no. No.
And so we saw it, and the whole time, us looking
for it, and we didn't find it till late at night,
and I'm like, shit, it's gonna be closed. Turned
out it was open for another hour, it was late.
I'm like, oh my God, it's amazing. I'm like,
shit, I guess it's illuminated, otherwise we're
not gonna see it anyway. Right. And it was. It
wasn't as big as I thought. And so that was like
a thing. I thought it was going to be this massive
thing that was just going to be like, whoa. Right,
right. Oh, OK. That's how I felt looking at the
Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is fascinating.
Did you feel that same way? Yeah. It's huge.
It stretches forever. It looks like a painting.
So hearing that Mount Rushmore is not like that
is like, oh, that's unfortunate. No, no. And
it just kind of was there. It was neat. I'm like,
wow, sure took a lot of skill to do that. Sure.
But then you think about like, oh, well. It's
owned by Native Americans or whatever. It used
to be their six grandfathers' pillars. Right.
And so that changed. And so Kira had an issue
with that, and she's complaining about it. I'm
like, oh, can I enjoy this for just five minutes?
And then you can tell me how bad of a human I
am for just wanting to see this historic site.
Sure. kind of the Hulk Hogan argument. It's just
like, wow, this is really amazing. It took a
lot of skill to do that. I know, I know. Give
me a minute. Like, Jesus Christ, please give
me a minute. And then we could be like, yeah,
F the government. I'm fine, just give me a minute.
But that was kind of fun. I'm sure if you were
there, you would have been laughing. But at any
rate, it was just not as impressive. And like
you go through this little town, it's in this
mountain town, it looked like there were like
cool little cowboy shops and places to eat and
stuff. I'm like... that might have been just
as interesting to me as an attraction than the
attraction itself was to just kind of go and
get the little shops and the ice cream shop and
old westerny things and then leave. Yeah. But
yeah, so that wasn't as impressive. That's unfortunate.
Yeah. Yeah. That blows. Got a question here from
my boy Plugman asking, would you rather lose
all the hair on your body and head or lose your
sense of smell and taste. So that's full, full
-balled, hair, head, face, body. Wow. Or no smell,
no taste. And that sucks either way because,
you know, it would help, right? Because that
means no more ass hair. That's true. That's pretty
nice. Yeah. The thing is, without my facial hair,
I don't look good. I've got a pretty weak chin.
I don't have much of a jawline going for me.
So facial hair really helps shape my face. And
losing that would kind of be an L. But losing
the sense of smell and taste, you would lose
all the joy of eating food. You would lose the
joy of smelling flowers. Like steak on the grill,
burning leaves, football leather, all that shit.
Eating healthy food easier because generally
you wouldn't taste it. Yeah stuffing your face
with kale is not super enjoyable so I as much
as I hate to say it and it would damage my Self
-image. I think I would just lose the hair on
my head and body You know, yeah, I just the sense
of smell and taste those those wonders and those
joys in life I think are more important Yeah,
I think that's fair. I I would agree with you
take the hair because there are really good rugs
You can put on your head or I wear hats a lot.
Anyway, just learn to enjoy beanies during the
winter find, I don't know, you could do like
a Van Gogh sun hat during the summer. Sure. That
could be kind of stylish. It could be. Yeah,
without a doubt. Or what I would probably do
since I've started my tattoo journey and I've
got a couple of hand tats. I've got this awesome
wrist tat. Tattoo Aidan and I got on my birthday,
which, you know, for the next birthday in October,
just saying, maybe we need another one. That's
an idea. But I would probably get my head tattooed.
Why not? Yeah. And you know what? Because you
bring it up, which is actually kind of nice,
losing eyebrows and eyelashes would be crazy.
That would be crazy. Your face would look insane.
The eyelashes I wouldn't mind because I wear
glasses and it's kind of an annoyance. Eyelashes
get in my face more than they help shit stay
out of my eyes. Yes. But yeah, getting like a
tattoo of where my eyebrows were and making it
look natural -esque. I think that's how I would
have to do it because eyebrow -less is just a
crazy look. It is. Well, what was it? Murr from
the Practical Jokers. He did that. He did that.
He looks fucking nuts. I'm like, oh my god, he
looks horrific. Yeah. He looked nuts. Oh yeah.
So that's a good thing you bring up. You definitely
have to get eyebrow tats. Would have to. Yeah.
Yeah. Last question I received from Evil Genie.
Ooh. Evil Genie says, not asking anything, I
guess, Evil Genie says, I grant you no wishes,
but I offer you this. one million dollars, but
you have to eat the same meal for every meal
for the next calendar year. Do you take it? I
would. I would do it. Yeah. I am a foodie. I
love food, so there would definitely be a challenge,
but if I get to pick what it is... You could
make the meal expansive enough that it remains
interesting for perhaps long enough that you
don't lose your mind. And then by 2026 you're
a millionaire. Right. I like that. And I think
I would have to pick something. Mildly healthy
because if you just say yeah, I love pizza. I
could eat a slice of cheese pizza every day Then
you're gonna get fucking like jaundice. You're
gonna get scurvy. You're gonna get scurvy You're
gonna be you know 300 pounds overweight, and
then you have the million dollars like that beef
Exactly, then you spend a million dollars on
American health care trying to get healthy trying
to get healthy So you know there is that point
so I think you have to pick something healthy
enough, but that you like so could just be like
a sandwich Yeah, I mean, you could be like, I'll
eat a turkey sandwich with a slice of cheese.
Give me a grapefruit, spinach salad, and chicken
breast. Yep. And a couple saltines or something
for your carbs. So if you could just come up
with that menu that says that meal and be like,
okay, I'll eat that. If you can do that and you
get a million bucks at the end, do it. Yeah.
I'm in the same boat because money struggles
for the working class in America are... Endless
and yeah seemingly inevitable so in a million
dollars sounds great It's not enough to retire
on but it's enough to make some things exactly
exactly so I I'm in the same boat as you I will
take the offer because of The the option yes
to pick the meal no doubt if it was preset it'd
be based on the preset meal Oh, yeah, yeah That
was your last one? Yes. Well, great. Thank you

there. AK219 you can reach out to. You can reach
out to Aidan Maloney, Mark Maloney, various socials
out there. So definitely send us your DMs. We'll
read them on the air for sure. Next segment up
is the other foods. That's where Aidan finds
and other food, something that you're not going
to find at the McDonald's drive -in, something
you're not going to find at the Ruth... Chris
Steakhouse by any stretch of the imagination
but he finds mostly things global but not always
just really really really weird shit and sometimes
stuff that you just like a billy goat would puke.
Exactly. So what do you got? Precisely. I have
another Scandinavian speciality. Yes. Something
called beaver gall or bavar gall. Bavar gall?
I'm trying to pronounce it right. There's umlauts
everywhere. Bavar gall. beavers mark their territory
with urine and castorium, which is a yellowish
fluid produced by the animal's anal glands. This
is a little backstory of just the beaver behavior.
The smell is powerful and complex. It has been
used to make perfumes and natural vanilla substitute.
Now, the Swedish, God bless the Swedish, Bavargal,
which translates to beaver shout, is made by
infusing the anal gland of the beaver in alcohol
for several weeks. Oh no. So the anal gland of
the beaver goes in alcohol for several weeks.
The resulting schnapps is bitter with an overpowering
strong taste of pine trees, tar, leather and
urine. In the 1800s, these glands alone could
cost two months' salary and the beavers were
hunted to near extinction. Luckily enough, the
beaver population in Sweden has recovered to
at least a healthy population. Castorium, which
is the aforementioned yellow liquid from the
anal glands, has many claimed health benefits,
such as curing mental disorders, toothaches,
epilepsy, and the plague. Uh, what the plague?
The plague, yeah. Damn. These are all claimed,
so this shit is likely not real. So this beaver
gall has a strong and bitter taste, noted as
smoky and unpleasant, smell of pine, wet fur,
and tar, and by the way, still tastes like urine.
Oh my god, are you kidding? So, yeah. Oh my god,
that is... Wow, that is, uh, that is quite the
spelling. The, uh, yeah. Yeah, multiple umlauts.
B -A umlaut, V -E -R -G -A umlaut, L -L. If anyone
at home wants to look that up. It's, uh... Why
would you do that, though? Like, you could just
have any other type of schnapps, right? Yeah.
You don't have to have B -verb anal gland schnapps.
You can choose not to do that. You can definitely
choose not to do that. it's insane yeah that's
uh wow that is double umlauts yeah that is pretty
nasty hey that's that's uh incredibly gross that
is wow i don't know why people would do that
to themselves leave it to the swedes yeah yeah
leave it to them and it's you know for people
that are choosing to to look this up online uh
it's it's really uh it's really weird looking
yeah It I can't even describe it really ain't
really threw me for a loop. Yeah, it is Looks
like cracked eggs Kind of sorta I Can't think
I think maybe that's we'll find the correct page.
I don't know if that's the right one I think
that is the correct page Because I have entered
because I put a promo out, ladies and gentlemen.
There's usually like nine pictures in it with
our logo in the middle. And it's usually things
that we have talked about on the show as a little
teaser for you before you listen in. And oh,
God, that might be worse. Yeah, we found the
right one. It's almost like they put most of
the beaver in and the anal gland is just there
for decoration. Holy cow. We found it. We found
it. It will be in the promo if you're interested
in seeing it. Wow. Oh, man. That isn't nice.
That isn't nice at all. Well, I know that beaver
gallbladder, whatever the hell it is, we are
going to move on to, I don't know, something
a little tastier perhaps. Perhaps. It is my Fry
Guy Fry review. and I am a bit of a fry fan and
we thought hey what a nice little addition of
the show might as well talk about some tasty
french fries maybe the greatest food invention
of all time and so this one's a little interesting
because I worked kind of a side gig all week
at the county fair and of course when you're
at the county fair you got the fair food now
while most of the fair food this week was incredibly
uninspiring they had some regulars that were
no longer there Just kind of mid couple places
that were good. I went by this guy subs bubs
spuds It was a fry one. I'm like, okay, my man
has potatoes now Keep in mind. This is a double
review. Oh It is a double review fry guy fry
review times two That's right because they had
poutine. Oh my man. Holy and for all of you that
go Hey, what the hell's poutine? Well, damn you,
you should, no, no, sorry. Let us educate you.
I should not judge. Yeah, let us educate you.
Let us educate you. It is a gift from the French
Canadian. Which is rare to get. Which is rare
to get. Usually they're the assholes of Canada,
I've heard. Hello, bonjour. Yes, so, it is a
bed of french fries, cheese curds, and a hot
gravy. Usually beef, but it can be turkey or
chicken. And that's it. It's simple. It's wonderful.
It's cheesy. It's delicious. It's savory. All
those things. They had a poutine. Now, some of
the best poutine you can get is from Canada.
Bridge fries, for example, right at the bridge.
And that is in a town called Sarnia, right on
the water. Beautiful. And bridge fries. Get your
poutine. It's amazing. All the restaurants have
poutine. It's like standard. It's great. So America
is a little slow on it, which is amazing to me
because something is high calorie and just loaded
with cheese and gravy. You think you think we
would have invented it. Right. But we're a little
bit slow on the poutine. So they have poutine.
I'm like, Fry Place, let's give it a shot. So
I'm going to give my poutine grade. It's going
to be different. OK, because I think that's only
fair. It's kind of two separate things, even
though they're the same. My poutine grade was
very good. I gave it an 8 .8 out of 10. Good.
Definitely not bridge fries. Did they actually
use curds or was it like shredded cheese? They
did. It was legit. Good. It was legit. It's a
mistake a lot of Americans make. They put the
cheese on it. The regular cheese. Yeah, and shredded
cheese has an anti -caking agent on it that makes
it taste and react different when being melted.
Correct. versus the curds yes i agree 100 % this
was curds it was great uh bridge fries i've not
given an official review so i won't but when
i've had them definitely in the mid -nines but
an 8 .8 is i think is a strong score uh when
it just came to the french fries themselves now
very mcdonald's -esque okay in terms of texture
in terms of like the size of them however they
were just warm they weren't hot i see makes a
difference yep and a little bit, a little bit
limp dick, a little bit on the fries. Floppy.
So perhaps they've been sitting a little bit.
Not quite sure. Although they were tasty and
properly salted, I will give them a seven five.
That's fair. Which I think is a fair score. The
caveat of the Fry Guy fry review is you review
them as they were received. 100 percent. Yeah.
So had those fries been fresh, salted properly,
all that good stuff. Maybe you get another point.
Maybe you edge up into the eights. Yeah, eight
eight one So I have to grade it as I got them
seven five five seven five. That's it Good to
know they make for a good poutine though Oh yes,
definitely the poutine was solid. It was very,
very good. That's the Fry Guy Fry review. Good
chance I'll be coming to your place and trying
it out. So make sure those fries are properly
salted and hot, and you're going to give yourself
a good review. Absolutely. Damn right. Without
question. We're now going to take a super quick
break. We come back. You just made the list,
and this one's going to be about one of those
icons we just talked about. All right, we are
back, everybody. It is time for You Just Made
the List here on the Mark Mo Show. I'm your host,
Mark Maloney, along with my co -host Aidan Maloney.
And you just made the list every week. It is
a top 10 list. We go 10 to 2, and then our big
number one reveal. And the only rule, I think
there's a wait a minute, wow, five, how many
rules? 8, 10, 1. Just one. Oh, God. Yep. Oh,
no. Just one. What could be? You ready for it?
No. There are no rules. Thank God. Yeah. I'm
glad that's a rule. You look worried. Yeah. I
was concerned for a moment. And regardless of
the paradox, if there being a rule saying there's
no rules, I'm not worried about it. Neither am
I. It benefits me to ignore the paradox. I think
that's important. Yeah. Now, this one is about
Ozzy. Ozzy Osbourne's greatest songs now can
be with Sabbath. Could be solo, could be collabs.
Sure. Whatever you like. Because once again,
there are no rules. I agree. So here we go. We're
gonna let Aiden go first with his top ten favorite
Ozzy Osbourne songs. Okay, because there was
no rules, I prepared for that. That's good. No
honorable mentions list. But I did go with a
top 15. Oh, look at you. I went with a top 15,
so I'll run 15 through two, save my number one.
OK. Number 15, I Just Want You. Good track. OK.
Good track. A deep cut, one might argue. That
is a deep cut. A little deep cut. Number 14,
Bark at the Moon. Number 13, this is a controversial
take because it is a song featuring Ozzy Osbourne,
where Ozzy does the hook. OK. Cross genre. Take
what you want by Post Malone featuring Ozzy Osbourne.
I knew that one was coming at 13 an excellent
hook Cross genres Ozzy doesn't care. He's a G.
Yes providing a fantastic chorus number 14 flying
high again great track Mm -hmm number 11 shot
in the dark Number 10 my mom coming home. Oh
number 9 no more tears number 8 Iron Man Yeah,
gotta be Gotta be on there. Number seven, Crazy
Train. Remarkably popular song, but it's popular
and it's good. Number six, See You on the Other
Side. Oh wow, good call on that one. Great track,
great track. Number five, War Pigs. Number four,
Mr. Crowley. Super happy with this top three,
by the way. Number three, Perry Mason. Perry
Mason is a great track, in my opinion. Number
two, of course, Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath,
Black Sabbath. Yeah, that's really great. It's
about 15 through 2. That's good. That's good
stuff. I do have a couple of honorable mentions.
Flying High again, Iron Man, and N .I .B. are
the three that I have on there for my honorable
mention. Number 10. I have a tie, because there's
no rules. True. At number 10. So I guess I almost
had a 15, too. Yeah, honestly, yeah. So I had
Mr. Crowley and Crazy Train at number 10. Solid.
Number 9, I had Mr. Tinker Train. Oh, nice. Solid
track. Yeah. Mom, I'm Coming Home is number 8.
I had no more tears at number seven. No more
tears. He doesn't even sound British when singing.
He does not. That's a common theme with British
singers, too. They sound American when they sing.
Singers and actors. Like, let's be honest. I
knew it because I watched some British comedy
when I was younger. So I knew that the actor
that played Dr. House was British. I knew that.
My kids did not. No, I thought he was American.
And we all loved house. We all loved house in
our house. And so there was like a awards thing
one night or something. And he won for best actor
for the show. So we're all like, yay, ooh, he
won. I'd love to thank everybody that made this
possible. And the kids think he's doing a joke.
They're like, why is he talking like that? I'm
like, why is he talking like what? He's a British
man. He's a British. They're like, what? Yeah.
I'm like, that's how good he is. Yeah, that is
true. Yeah, that's a funny thing. I don't know
why that is. Number six, The Ultimate Sin. So
good. That's good. Love that cut. Number five,
Black Sabbath. Good. Great tune. I love it. It's
just haunting. Oh, yeah. I've seen, too, there
are people that will, like, jazz musicians that
will analyze the, like, the riff, the main riff
of that song and be like, it's crazy that they
pulled that off. Because in theory, it doesn't
make sense. In sound, it sounds awesome. It really
does. Like the... It's great. The little wavering
kind of... And here's the thing. I was talking
with this guy, Joe, today's musician, and we
were talking about Ozzy and some of his songs
and stuff, and he loved Ozzy. And so it was a
great conversation. But we... had talked about
that song, and what a lot of people don't know.
Number one, it's kind of loosely based on this
horror movie that was playing at a picture show
across the street, but also, I want to say it
was maybe Geezer, who had, it was either Geezer
or Tony, that had a nightmare, and probably a
nightmare after seeing this scary movie across
the street, and that's kind of how the lyrics
and everything came along with Black Sabbath,
but the hook came... from Gustav Waltz's The
Bringer of War because Tony Iommi's screwing
around and listening to Gustav Waltz and starts
playing his guitar. which is Gustav Waltz's hook
on that song. Right. And so that's how all of
that came to be. And the fact that the drum,
the percussion, which usually isn't super involved
in the melody, like the, brings it back to the
one. It brings it back to home base. Yes, it
does. It's crazy because the wavering in between
is the uncertainty, you know, that musically
makes you want to hear the one chord. That's
like the home base. It's like, okay, that's the
resolution. Like literally, the toms of the drum
bring it back. And that's crazy they made that
work. It's fascinating. It's fascinating. It's
really excellent. And of course, Ozzy's vocals
on it are just ridiculous. Number four, Bark
at the Moon. Love it. One of my favorite songs
growing up. Number three, Hellraiser. Oh, good
track. I love Hellraiser. So good. Great track.
And my number two is Shot in the Dark. Nice.
Just a shot in the dark, one step away from you.
That's all I got. Oh, yeah. That's all I got.
Get content matched. We're gonna get smooth -ma
-grooved, man. That's all we need. Hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, Sharon! Sharon! Yeah, then we
get Sharon Osborne up, but he's coming back.
Three days later, he's gonna roll it back, and
then Ozzy shows back up. So that was my number
two. My number one. I don't know if I've heard
yet. Oh, oh, surprise. Number one, Paranoid.
Oh my god. You have not heard it. Paranoid should
be on my list. Off of the same album as Warpix,
I believe, which was my number five. So Paranoid,
that's my number one. I think I was so happy
with my top five, because I made a list. It was
like 20 long. And I'm like, OK, 20 is too much.
So I cut it down. I was like 15. I'm like, how
do I order this? I have to make this logical.
So Paranoid ended up being my number one. It's
so catchy. I'm a sucker for a good hook, a good
chorus part of the song. And that just checks
all the boxes. That's awesome. Yeah. I'm disappointed
myself for not having it somewhere on my list.
But then again, it's like we always say this.
There's no rules. You could just throw that in
your honorable mentions. I could for no reason
at all. All right. Paranoid isn't my... A new
honorable mention. New honorable mention. Paranoid.
My number one is War Pegs. So good. I love it.
It's a... Ozzy did so much with the lyrics, right?
Even when he was with the band. Oh, yeah. So
much. And so I don't think he gets the credit
he deserves for being a lyricist. Joe and I were
also talking about that today. But it's so great.
And his vocals sounded like his tone is perfect.
Yeah. And the musical accompaniment with his
vocals. written like the ascending like generals
gathered in their masses and then the descending
just like witches in black masses it totally
makes sense yeah all of it it's it's a great
song yeah it's fantastic uh and Ozzy we're gonna
miss you um i i love the fact that As a music
fan, my son knows him and appreciates him, loves
the music. So when I see the younger generation
have that appreciation, it's awesome. But for
me, I grew up with him. Right, right. And saw
him, I saw him. live with Sabbath when Sabbath
got back together for an Oz Fest and the undercard
band was Iron Maiden. Oh my God. On that festival.
What a dream ticket. It really was. Oh my God.
So I was like, oh, Maloney, do you want to go
to Oz Fest? I'm like, oh, I don't know. And I'm
full well knowing Ozzy's going to be playing.
It's like, oh, Ozzy's back with Sabbath. So immediately
I'm like, oh, that sounds interesting. Like,
who else is on the bill? And they looked at me
like I had a third head or a fifth eye or whatever.
And this is like, um. Iron Maiden. Oh, yeah.
We're going. Yeah, we're definitely going. And
the best part of it was Bruce Dickinson, lead
singer of Iron Maiden. Yeah. And Sharon Osborne
hate each other. That's funny. Hate each other.
So first off, I want to thank them for so much
hatred for each other to at least make this happen
for fans. Right. Right. Because it was an amazing
thing to see. And I'm sure Bruce loved Ozzy and
I'm sure Steve Harris loved Ozzy and all the
guys. but did not like Sharon and didn't want
anything to do with her. And Ozzy, I think it
was something vocal, but he missed like five
or six dates on that tour. Oh, wow. And Maiden
had to headline. And so they had to do an extra
four or five songs because they were the headline
band. What does Bruce do? Hello, everybody. Welcome
to Maiden Fest. Sharon did not like that. Awesome.
She did not like that. Good. I love that. Yeah.
I really do. Yeah. You got to find the humor
in the little things, hey? You really do. Yeah.
You really do. And then I'm sitting there like,
all right, ask. Yeah, why haven't we had a maiden
vest? Right. A fair point. A fair point. But
to loop it back around, I wanted to mention a
point you brought up earlier is like, technology
will continue to advance, you know. TVs will
get better and bigger and have different technology
in them phones have been advancing forever, you
know different sound recording or You know listening
quality will advance but good music always stays
good. Yes, you know, there's nothing that says
like Oh, well, I can't listen to that track because
it wasn't recorded on a Shure SM7. It's like
right Good music stays good, it will still sound
good. It will stand the test of time. It will
stand the test of time. Which is why rock music's
great. Absolutely. It will stand the test of
time. Whether it's Cream or The Who or The Rolling
Stones or Led Zeppelin, anything like that, the
music just stands the test of time. And think
about all the 80s and 90s rock bands who were
influenced by that. And then all the bands today
who were influenced by those bands. I mean, that's
just kind of how it all works. Right. You know,
and even Grunge, because when Grunge came up,
it was all pop metal, it was just different.
And then, there were enough people, it's like,
well, I have really serious feelings, but I don't
want to sing about babes and getting drunk and
high. Right, right. I want to sing about, like,
the world really sucks and I'm thinking about
not killing myself. Right. And there's just serious
things and I want to sing about them. Like the
complexities of the Vietnam War and being a son
of someone who fought in that. Serious shit.
Rooster being that song, it's like, right. And
you listen to it, it's like, oh, I love these
riffs, this is catchy. And then you look at the
lyrics, it's like, whoa, fuck. Exactly. They
spit on me in my hometown. Holy fuck, buddy.
Yep. So that is serious shit. That is serious
lyricist shit. So while I wasn't into it right
away, because I was into that pop metal, I was
into partying and good times and whatever, it
wasn't until later in life I went back and listened.
And that, trust me, I bought Pearl Jam's 10,
I bought Corduroy, I bought Bad Motorfinger,
and I bought some great albums. I love Screaming
Trees. There's great bands from the era, but
I just wasn't into them because I like, I was
like, hey, you guys are trying to kill the music
I love. Fuck you guys. And so it was kind of
that mindset. So then later in life, like 10,
15 years later, I start really like listening,
getting the albums and stuff. And I'm like, well,
shit, I missed that. Because it was just, I should
have just loved it for what it was. And it was
nothing personal against that metal genre. It
was just, hey, we're doing something different
and this is it. And you really had to kind of
appreciate it for what it was. Better to miss
the boat and come back to it than forsake it
forever. 100%. I didn't see Made Live until 2000.
So it was like, what, almost 20 years after they
came out. And I hadn't seen them because they
didn't get radio play in the United States. Sure,
that's true. Only real metal fans. would kind
of get that, that back when I was young, there
was a lot of tape exchange. People would have
tapes, plastic, little tapes you put in your
stereo at home. And at lunchtime, somebody would
be like, oh man, I got tape for you, oh, I got
tape for you, and people are exchanging tapes.
If you heard this band, no, oh, here, check it
out. And you go home and you listen to it, and
that's how we got to learn a lot of new music,
because radio didn't play it. So that was kind
of cool. That's how I got to learn Queensryche
from a cousin when I went to Northern California.
Hey, have you ever heard of Queensryche? Queens
who? Check this shit out. And then I went and
listened to it. I'm like, my world has just changed.
So it was amazing when - He's a pretty fucking
baller. I had a buddy of mine named Vaughn in
high school. He's like, have you ever heard of
mechanical resonance? I'm like, was that from
a chemistry class? He's like, no, dude. He's
like, it's a band, Tesla. I'm like, no, I haven't.
So he gave me a tape. And I listened to it. I'm
like - this is a cool ass band. Right. And it's
like different. It's like they're not pop metal.
They're not like super heavy metal. They're just
a dirty ass hard rock band that goes out there
and jams. And I loved it. Yeah. I loved it. But
if that tape exchange hadn't happened. Sure.
you know might not have known but so today it's
different you got youtube and you've got other
venues spotify whatever right kind of listening
to music but it's it's different and i i kind
of almost prefer and like the way we did it back
in the day with the tape exchanges and going
out and buying records or as some dude being
like oh check out this eight track you know just
like shit like that uh it was just different
you know yeah i would agree uh not that i was
there for it but i know exactly what you're saying
yeah it was different it was just so cool Now
that kind of takes us to review preview and I
really don't have a review preview because at
the point we put this together, I hadn't seen
Fantastic Four. So that obviously will come next
week. But I kind of thought in honor of Ozzy
passing and Chuck Mangione, who was a jazz trumpet
player, did some pop jazz, did some real significant
songs in the late 70s, early 80s. that we would
do just some of my favorite movies about like
singers and bands, because that's someone's own
genre, right? You go see a comedy, you go see
a drama, you go see this, that. It's a different,
right? But like, there's no like movie genre
for like, other than a musical, but they're not
technically musicals either. You know, it's not
singing in the rain. It's not that, it's not
a musical. It's like docutainment. Kinda. In
a way. In a way, it really is, so. Like, for
example, Almost Famous. I love that frickin'
movie. It's so good. It's about a kid writing
an article for Rolling Stone and following this
band called Stillwater, a made -up band. But,
like, the music's good. It's catchy. It's that
very, like, 70s Southern rock kind of band going
around on their tour bus, and actress Kate Hudson's
in it, and she's really cool. Like, the whole
thing is awesome. If you're a music fan, see
that movie. Spinal Tap. I hear they're doing
a sequel. I almost cringe at it. because like
sometimes you don't want to touch perfection
right and spinal tap is just crazy it's like
uh yeah so and like there's a guy interviewing
him so it's like a mockumentary uh yeah so notice
your your your amps go up to 11 the amps go up
to 11 the louder well why not just have them
go up to 10 and have 10 be louder But it's not
11. It's like just the whole thing. It's a good
bit. It's like they get like one time they're
trying to get to the stage and they're lost and
they're going through all these tunnels and every
time they like turn a corner like Oh, yeah, I
can even go like They see some light they be
like oh rock on clay like they're like the whole
thing is just comedy gold So see spinal tap if
you haven't seen smile tap this dude next to
me. I know we'll love this movie whiplash Oh
yeah, unbelievable. If you love music, especially
drumming, what an amazing movie. Or jazz in general.
Jazz drum, yeah. Yeah, just so great. And they
talk about jazz musicians, and I'm trying to
think of the actor's name, the older actor. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's in that, gosh, ain't
no lookin' up really. But that particular movie,
just where he's this teacher. And he's really,
really, really hard on us. JK Simmons. JK Simmons.
He plays that asshole so well. So good. And,
like, I get why he does what he does. Doesn't
make it right. No, there's a character arc. He
justifies everything he does, but he's still
in the wrong. He's still in the wrong. You see
his side and you're like, okay, I see why you
did that. You're still wrong. But, had he not
been the way he was... The drummer wouldn't have
done what he did. Especially at the end, wouldn't
have done what he did. Which was epic. Yeah.
By the way, Miles Teller, who plays the main
character, I haven't... Has he done anything
else? I don't know if he's done anything else.
You know what he did? He was Mr. Fantastic in
the last Fantastic Four movie, and it was ass,
and I think he's been invisible ever since. That's
right. Yeah. Oh my god. He went from whiplash,
and he's like, oh, Fantastic Four. I'll be a
stretchy guy. Let's give that a try. And he's
like, huh, that's my career. Well, that's that.
Thanks, Marvel. Thank you. Thanks, boys. That's
really great. What an awesome movie, though.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. So Whiplash is great. Straight
out of Compton. Oh, yeah. If you're a fan of
that era of rap, which I am and I know Aidan
is, just fantastic. The actors they got like
number one casting director should get gold.
Just give them a solid gold bar. Yeah. Great
casting Ice Cube's son plays ice cube, which
is amazing makes sense which makes sense and
he looks just like his dad so that was pretty
cool and then the actor that plays Oh God brain
fart Easy not easy the although he was good.
Yeah No, dr. Drake. Oh, yeah. He was really good
He was really good in that. So I love it. Fantastic
movie. Kind of a sad tale because I mean, there's
just a lot of sad shit that goes on and went
on with black kids back then, especially in LA
with the police and everything. So you kind of
understand where the music comes from and be
like, I can't, you know, they say F the police.
I'm like, well, live a day in their world, dude.
Live a day in their world and what the LA Police
Department have done to their people. You wouldn't
survive a day in their shoes. You wouldn't. You
really wouldn't. So you got to have some point
of some context there. The movie Yesterday. The
main character is this Indian dude. They live
in the UK and he's a huge Beatles fan. That's
what I heard about this. Yeah, and it's a cool
concept for a movie. So like he's just a street
musician He knows all the Beatles songs, whatever
but like there's a blackout and he gets in this
serious accident they get see wipes out his bike
it's hit by a car or whatever and so he's in
the hospital and His girlfriend gives him a guitar
be like, oh, I'm so sorry blah blah and gives
this beautiful guitar And they're like, oh play
something and so he plays yesterday. They looked
at him and they're like What is that? Right.
It's like, it's yesterday. It's like, that is
maybe the most beautiful... Did you write that?
Right, right. And they're like, he's like, no,
it's the Beatles. The who? Yeah. And they're
just like, oh, the one girl I think was like,
is that Oasis? And he's like, no, it's the Beatles.
And so it's really... He's fucking heard a Wonderwall
one time. Yeah. Is that Oasis? And so now he's
like, this world does not know the Beatles. And
now he's recording all the Beatles songs and
now the world's like... this guy might be the
greatest musician and one of the coolest parts
of that movie is him and Ed Sheeran. He meets
Ed Sheeran and Ed is is kind of hired by this
LA person that finds him and like is hanging
out kind of, you know, he's gonna go on tour
with Ed B is like under band, you know, his opening
card, whatever. And so opening act. And so anyway,
he is in this club. And he's like, we're gonna
have a songwriting contest. And he's like, in
the next 10 minutes, you have to write a song,
and I'm gonna write a song, and we're gonna see
who the best songwriter is. Wow. And so, he already
knows the song, of course he knows all the videos,
so he does the long and winding road. And whatever
Ed did was cool. And then he goes on. Long and
winding road. And he like starts singing the
lyrics and Ed just is like, I quit. Yeah. And
just walks away. Flabbergasted. Just flabbergasted
with this dude just came up with, which he didn't.
Right, right, right. But the movie, the whole
premise for the movie, I think is original. And
if you love Beatles music, you're going to love
the movie. Yeah, it's a fun concept. It really
is. Becoming Led Zeppelin is a documentary. Led
Zeppelin becoming Led Zeppelin these guys coming
together and putting that first album together.
Phenomenal. If you're a Led Zeppelin fan you
have to watch it. Metal Lords is a fun movie
it's a kid movie like high school kids and these
guys are metal fans and they're trying to play
this thing and and I'm just gonna say like it
didn't get a lot of press because I think it
might have been a direct to Netflix movie. So
good. If you're a metal fan and these kids are
into metal. It's like fun. You're like, oh young
kids into metal. That's so cool It's it's good
and it's a fun movie the dirt about Motley Crue.
Yeah, which once again kind of a documentary,
but it's a movie and I love the music. I love
the music and the good times and you sit there
and go Oh my god, there's no way they did all
the shit. You're right Lived it. Pretty sure
they did it. They did it all. A movie rock star
with Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Aniston, where he's
in a tribute band to this band who loosely resembles
Judas Priestish, Iron Maiden, whatever, like
a British metal band, and the lead singer flips
out and he leaves. And now they're like, shit,
we gotta get a guy. Which... led Judas Priest
and Iron Maiden actually went through when their
lead singers left for a brief time. So it's kind
of like that. And Mark Wahlberg was in this tribute
band and they brought him in and he just blew
them away and they're like, you're hired. And
so it was like him doing that. But at the tail
end, Mark Wahlberg getting burnt out on the lifestyle
and everything else and seeing the stuff backstage
and guys having renal things and just falling
like, like all of it, like he just comes to grip
with it. And by the end of the movie, he's wearing
flannels and ripped denim and he's in Seattle
and he's playing that music and his old buddy
from the his other band from home they like have
this moment where they they apologize to one
another and they just start playing grunge music
together so it's kind of interesting and you
kind of but you kind of look at it like Yep,
that's kind of how it went. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that was kind of neat. School of Rock with
Jack Black. Oh, yeah. Classic. Great flick. Love
it. And Jack is a... he's a musician anyway.
And the music that he does with Kyle Glass, it
is... Oh, God, what's his band? It is... Oh,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, please look it up
because I'm just about to kick my own ass on
that. Tribute is one of the songs, and Kickapoo,
and fuck, what is it? Oh man. Jack Black, come
on, Google, help us out. We're looking it up
as we go. We're doing live research. Oh man.
Jack Black's band. Jack Black, John Cusack was
in there. Yeah, it's not in the movie though,
it's his actual real band. Oh, Jack Black's actual
band? Yeah. Yeah, that starts with a T. yes yeah
Jesus God yeah all right folks I'm not a spring
chicken so that took a while to pull out thank
you for holding with us yeah I was like it starts
with a T I'm so sure yeah you know we had if
this was a more visual show we would have put
up that test pattern that TV test battered like
technical and then like that elevator music that
accompanies yeah that's what we would have had
for you there I love the bits where they just
play heart out of Just like the one winged like
is what was that in the pub with the teacher?
Yeah, that was Stevie Nicks But then they sang
God what they sing in the van immigrant song.
Oh, that's right But see, like, he can hit that
shit. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, God. What a good movie.
Sadly, the kid that was the drummer passed away.
But before that, like, they got the group together
when everybody was older and they got together
and played a show. That's awesome. Which I think
is great. That's really cool. I also want to
mention Walk the Line. Joaquin Phoenix is Johnny
Cash. Great movie Rocket man. Oh, yeah, you love
Elton John see rocket man. It was so good And
I just it was amazing Bohemian Rhapsody. Yeah,
there you go. If you love Queen Which by the
way quick sidebar Brian May guitarist of Queen
They had the procession for Ozzy today, so he's
in the coffin. They have everybody carrying the
coffin through town. Right. Everybody's wearing
black. It's one of the most metal things ever.
I'm like, there's no other way the metal gold
should go out than this way. He'd have wanted
it. He would have wanted it. Brian May is walking
in front of the casket playing guitar. That's
so cool. I was done, dude. That's so cool. That
was amazing. Wow. So great. But Bohemian Rhapsody
is really good. Yeah, so those are the ones I
can think of. Check them out. Yeah, they're all
really good. Yeah. Really good movies. Find them
on streaming. You could rent them from your local
library. Netflix, whatever. Yep, you'll find
them for sure. Now before we take a quick break,
Aidan does a thing called While You Were Sleeping.
It is either music or movies or YouTube or some
sort of content that maybe we were kind of snoozing
on. And then all of a sudden he's like, no, no,
no, no, no. I got something for you. What do
you got? Become Awoken. You guys were sleeping.
and we don't want one of the most fun co -op
couch gaming online co -op games snuck under
the rug while you were sleeping indeed a game
we have played and loved oh golf with your friends
yes i love it a video game made by the australian
developer blacklight interactive leave it to
the Australians to make the good things. To make
something brilliant, yep. So it came out, Early
Access was in 2016 on Steam, full released in
2020. It's on Windows, Switch, PS4 and 5 I believe,
Xbox One and Xbox Series, Google Stadia, even
though Google Stadia is dead. But they had a
good run, and by good run I mean they didn't
have a good run. Oh no. Regardless, Golf With
Your Friends, super fun. It's like, imagine the
most... It's not cartoony in art style, but it's
cartoony in how the game plays sure. You know
it's just like the most Extravagant extreme version
of mini golf you could possibly play agreed,
and then there's like crazy power -ups and stuff
you can get along the way Playing it couch gaming
style is so fun. Yes, but playing it online is
fun as well Just either with randos or with your
friends is a fantastic time. It's not a pricey
game I think it's like ten bones or something
like that. Yeah, I mean especially for an indie
game. You're gonna get dozens of hours of fun
out of I find that to be a good investment of
money and time. Okay, but yeah golf with your
friends if you're into mini golf type games or
even just Competitive sports type games, even
though it's not super competitive. It gets competitive.
Trust me Oh, it does. It definitely most certainly
does. I will never ever forget Ak 219 contact.
Yeah content. So check that out Kevin former
host co -host of that show And they were playing
the game and it was late in their round of golf
I want to say it was the second to last hole
or the last hole. Yeah, Kevin had a big lead
And he got this hole and he missed his shot.
I'll be damned if he didn't try the damn shot
like three or four more times. And I don't know
if he kept going in the water or what he did.
And it was it was like you watching a friend
make a mistake from afar. Right. And then like
especially like, say, with a girl and you're
kind of cringe. You're like, walk away, walk
away, walk away. And they tried again. You're
like, oh, no. Right. Oh, no. And you're just
kind of almost it. And you're watching, Kevin,
just. piss this game away. And it was the funniest
damn thing I've ever seen. It's like watching
an acquaintance get their ass beat through a
fence. It's like, ah, yeah, it's like there's
nothing I can do, but I can't look away. I can't
look away. Yeah, it was like an auto accident.
I was gaping. Oh, yeah. I was gaping. Hilarious.
Yeah. No, it is. It's a great game. It's fun.
Yes. Fun to watch. Fun to play. Yeah, I'd agree.
So go out with your friends if you're a gamer,
if you got friends. I know us gamers usually
don't have a lot of friends, but that's okay.
You can just play online with randos and usually
they're all good sports so Highly recommend while
you were sleeping you missed golf with your friends.
Yep, definitely check it out and Quick break
here. We're gonna come back. We're gonna drink
some beer for you and then the world of weird
news Hey everybody, we are back home stretch
of the mark mo show podcast season 3 episode
2 and This is our beer review the official beer
review the official mark mo show podcast beer
review And what do we have on tap today today?
We've got the lock ins tropical pineapple, which
is a colch style beer. I don't know if I'm pronouncing
that right colch Colch it's by walk rock wall
Brewing. Say that five times fast, eh? Rockwall
Brewing. The Kolsch, of course, a German -style
hybrid beer. But they, of course, added tropical
pineapple flavor to it. I love that. Or juice,
perhaps. A macrobrewery, Rockwall. A macrobrewery
out of Rochester, New York. Straight from the
U .S. of A. Notes they give are pineapple, light
-bodied, sweet, acidic, and bitter. We'll be
the judge of that. We are trying this German
-style tropical pineapple lochens beer for all
of you at home. And, of course, sounds lovely.
Let us know what you are enjoying and if you
have tried this yourself. Indeed. Let us know
what you think. Sláinte. Sláinte. Boy, that's
pretty refreshing. It is. That's pretty refreshing.
The scent is quintessentially pineapple. It smells
like pineapple juice. The taste, the pineapple
is a little more muted. It's almost like a slightly
tangy lager with a hint of pineapple. But the
pineapple definitely comes through on the nose.
We're drinking it out of a can. I'm sure if you
poured it into a cup, you would definitely get
more of the scent of pineapple helping the flavor
notes. But... That is really refreshing. It's
four and a half percent, so it's not a heavy
beer. It's more of a lighter style beer, which
I believe Kolsch styles typically are. But yeah,
that scent alone of just the pineapple hitting
your tongue, it's light on the back of the throat,
doesn't leave any lasting bitterness or anything.
That is remarkable. Here's the thing too, like
I'm not a huge pineapple fan, and I think like
if you put it on pizza, You should be sent to
Siberia. That's what I mean. You should be sent
to Italy. You should. You should be sent to Italy,
and they'll treat you worse for putting pineapple
on pizza. Oh, they will. They will, for sure.
Than they would in like El Salvador. But I'm
not a huge fan, but in this, how it blends with
the beer is just great. It's very refreshing.
The first sip that I took, especially when I've
never had a beer, you know, I'm always waiting.
for what is left on the palate after I have that
first drink. And so I had the first drink clean,
absolutely clean, so I really do enjoy it. No,
I would agree. After you taste it, if you let
it sit on your tongue for a little bit before
swallowing, I do get some like, bready notes,
like there's definitely wheat flavor notes in
there that kind of stick around for a little
bit. which I believe is kind of what happens
with coles style beers. If you just sip it and
you let it sit for a little bit, there's definitely
some wheat, bready, almost yeasty, like leave
behind flavor. But that is really phenomenal.
I'm going to rate this one pretty high, I think.
We score these out of five, zero to five. Yes,
we do. And we use the Untapped app, which is
free to get if you enjoy drinking brewskis. You
can download it and rake. Frank all the brewskis
you have which not sponsored, but we do recommend
because you know free things You only get the
occasional ad right, but this is fantastic. I'm
gonna give this a 425 That's high. That's a good
score But Considering I'm not a huge pineapple
fan. I gave it a 3 .75. So I think that's great
I think that's a pretty high score at least for
me. I don't give too much over a three and a
half probably just two or three that I've done
that with, so I'm impressed enough. It's very
refreshing. Perfect summertime beer, I think.
Oh, I agree. I think anybody could enjoy it.
Flavor profiles, I select the pineapple, light
bodied and sweet. I think those are all fair.
I did all the same. I added bread as well because
of that yeasty note, but yeah, absolutely fantastic.
Yeah, but I enjoyed it. So once again, if the
people are out there, Aidan, what is the name?
The name is the Locken's Tropical Pineapple by
Rockwall Brewing. Rockwall Brewing, all right.
Well, yeah, we're gonna move on to our final
bit here, which is the world of weird news. All
right, so let's start off. I've got a story here,
Aidan. You told me you got something special.
This is hilarious. So I'm just gonna start with
the title. A cat named Leonardo da Pinci doesn't
want your affection. He wants to steal your underwear.
Yo. Let's go. Yo, my man, a little perv. Little
perv, little perv cat. Wellington, New Zealand.
I've had a couple from New Zealand. I was going
to say New Zealand is like the Florida of Australia.
It really is. It totally is. And for anyone like
the separate countries, let's be real. New Zealand
is the Florida of Australia. I would agree with
that. They named a mountain, like gave it an
official name like Bob. Yeah. They say, what
are you doing? That's crazy. These things bob.
These names Charles can't. Exactly. So let's
learn about this cat. Wellington, New Zealand.
Most cat owners dread their pets bringing home
mice or birds. But for the owners of one Thelonious
feline, I love how they write. That's good. I
love how they write. In Auckland, there's a worse
shame. being unwitting, accomplice to an unstoppable
one cat crime wave. Wow. His prolific laundry
pinching from clotheslines and bedrooms. in the
Placid Beachside neighborhood of Marengai Bay.
Marengai? Has turned 15 -month -old Leo into
a local celebrity and earned him a new moniker.
He now goes by Leonardo da Pinci. That's awesome.
A nickname from the crimes. From the crimes that
he has committed. I love that they write this
as if it's like a medieval, like, drama. It's
amazing. It's insane. Their writers are amazing.
This is why journalists make the money they do,
or should make more money. Should make more money,
no doubt. And he's got expensive taste. His frequent
hauls include silk boxer shorts, thick men's
work socks, preferably with clothespins still
attached. And in one mortifying episode for his
humans, a brand new 300 New Zealand... 300 New
Zealand dollar 181 American cash cashmere sweater
My daughter was at home's drug like dragged a
sweater dragged a sweater brought a sweater home
My daughter was at home sick and she rang me
at work saying it's bad. It's bad This is the
worst thing he's brought in it's really bad said
because it was beautiful I was like, oh can I
keep that? Oh, even the children have a little
bit of shame and like, yes, like, ah, this is
great. Thank you for the gift. I can't keep it
though. Right. And the cat's just loving on his
family. Yeah. Instead, North turned to a neighborhood
WhatsApp group to return Leo's stolen goods to
the rightful owners. Her usual message, are these
your undies? Which in normal circumstances gets
you banned from the group. Correct, correct.
But the pilfered stash kept piling up. Socks,
piles, underwear, loads, and even a five -foot
long stuff snake, bizarre, on one record -setting
day. Wow. Leo returned with nine items, enough
for a full outfit if you didn't mind a mix of
everything from baby's clothes to menswear. My
man Leo. Mr. DaPinci. They gotta lock this puppy
up. They gotta lock him up. They gotta lock him
up. He brought in a jersey this morning at 10.
At 10 past 8, North said, the shop's hadn't even
opened. With dozens of items unclaimed the embarrassed
owner took her search for Leo's victims wider
this month Posting photos of his halls on a local
Facebook page along with an apology in her address
Those who showed up to claim their belongings
included a woman who recognized her pink and
purple underpants And a boy whose beloved and
miss sports jersey was Helpfully identifiable
by his name printed on the back. Holy hell, man!
The iron north expected over Leo's cat burgling
antics didn't... Didn't eventuate, although one
of his targets, who is allergic to cats, now
drives her laundry indoors. All of our neighbors
think he's amazing, she said. Some of them are...
quite put out that he hasn't actually stolen
anything of theirs. It's like, oh, my shit's
not good enough for you. Okay, fine. Still, North
has tried everything to curb her cat's laundry
obsession from attempting to keep him indoors
to leaving out clothes at home for him to steal.
No luck. Wow. He only wants stuff that he shouldn't
have, she said, adding that she is also unwilling
to risk an online suggestion that Leo simply
needed another playmate. He might teach another
cat to do this, North said. Leo's life of crime
began when he was first allowed outdoors a year
ago, but his family hopes it's just a juvenile
phase. No way. He's criminal for life, man. Yeah,
he's a criminal. I hope he grows out of it because
I don't want to do this for like 15 years, North
said. That's a lot of admin. Oh my God. For now,
on the streets of Marengai Bay, Leonardo da Vinci
remains at large. Oh my God. Well written. My
man. Well done. Leonardo da Pinci. That's right.
A legend among men. He really is. That's awesome.
It's amazing. Wow, what a beautiful story. It's
incredible. It's great that even cats aspire
to commit crime. It's not just us. It's our feline
friends too. Quite the cat burglar. That's awesome.
Hey, nice. Yeah. Very nice. Quite the cat burglar.
Very good. Impressive. All right, what do you
got for us, Aidan? Well, it's not a cat, but
it is a rat. Oh, all right. I love it. The predecessor
to the headline, Chuck E. Cheese mascot arrested
at Florida restaurant on camera. Oh, no. The
dude in the rat suit. He's in the rat suit. He's
in the rat suit. Oh, wow. The video is... hilarious
so I got I pulled this there's a lot of people
that report on it I pulled the article from TMZ
okay is the way TMZ wrote about it was awesome
I love it I love it exclusive article Chucky
cheese caught in credit card fraud trap come
with me Chucky okay here we go this is written
of course by the TMZ staff The Florida cops who
arrested a Chuck E. Cheese mascot had a hilarious
way of leading him out of the Charles Entertainment
cheese joint over to their cop car, which is
hilarious because I always forget that's what
it stands for. Telling him, Chuck E., come with
me, Chuck E. TMZ obtained their arrest report
and the Tallahassee Police Department says the
man in the Chuck E. G.'s costume, the rat costume
of course, also had a small amount of marijuana
on him. Oh no. Cops say they asked him if he
had a medical marijuana license and were told,
quote, I was on the way to getting one. Oh no,
well. He didn't have the card yet. Police also
say he racked up a hundred and over a hundred
and five dollars in fraudulent charges on a debit
card a woman lost after attending her child's
birthday party at that Chuck E Cheese. Oh no.
So he found the lost card snagged it and was
racking up bills. Oh wow. A Chuck E Cheese mascot
had to cough up some serious dough to bail out
a get it pizza joke. Some serious dough to bail
out the pokey after getting arrested at Charles
Entertainment Cheese Joint in Florida. When the
costume head was removed, cops identified the
rodent was revealed as Jermel J. Jones, who was
arrested for the thief of a credit card. Oh my
god. Written straight out of like one of those
like 1960s Scooby -Doo cartoons. Really? They
removed the mascot head and it's Mr. Jones. You
credit card thief. Yeah, but I wouldn't have
gotten it away. I would have gotten away with
it. You meddling kids. Oh, that's good. That's
really good. The man in the rat costume at the
local Tallahassee Charles Entertainment Cheese
location. That'll do it. I love those cheese
locations. That's amazing. Charles Entertainment
Cheese. Charles Entertainment Cheese. That's
amazing. Rest in peace to that rat, Scott. So
I'll have to find a new man to play that part.
Oh, that's so funny. I love how he stole the
woman's credit card, racked up the bills, and
he's still like... Well, no one's gonna catch
me. I may as well still go into work today. I'll
bring a little spliff with me, too. You know,
bring a little joint smoke on the side. If you
work as a... If you are the rat at Charles Entertainment
Cheese, you need a little something to calm down.
I would say so. With those aforementioned meddling
kids. Yep, 100%. You found the article, too.
Yep, I did. That is an amazing picture. The video
and screenshots are amazing. That's good. That's
really good. My man. Oh, well, what a funny way
