Hey there everybody! Welcome to the Mark Mo
Show. It is Season 3. Episode seven no strings.
You can find us on all podcast platforms and
YouTube and I would like to introduce my co -host
and producer Aidan Maloney. How you doing, dude?
Pretty fantastic little sleepy bit of a busy
week I'm sure we'll we'll touch on a little bit
of what we're doing today. It is Saturday for
the lovely listeners out there We're gonna be
emceeing commentating a fun festival in our hometown
of Valparaiso So, uh, Little pop -pop...
little popcorn festival, which will be super
fun. But a lot of people drank in popcorn festival.
Yeah, they take it seriously. I love it. And,
you know, it's evolved over time, as many things
do. But I remember one year, and it was when
you guys were younger. Aidan's my son, in case
you guys haven't. clued that. If you were born
yesterday or something. Right, exactly. Or your
backup. I didn't have to be too mean, right?
Right. So at any rate, Aidan is my son, and I
have others too. Not sons, kids. I don't know
how many. Well, it's not important right now.
A future count. We'll get it eventually. It'll
end up being like Nick Cannon. It's like, oh
shit, I have 12 kids. Exactly. Hi, I'm Sean Kemp.
So at any rate, we went one year, and it was
like popcorn fast. It was one of the first times.
I took the kids and We're walking around whatever
a bunch of tents people selling shit and food
and whatever That's that's exactly it. The tents
are called shit and food So at least they're
honest at least they're honest but like we walked
all the way around and Had at least an hour and
I said, where's the popcorn? This is true. I
was like where's bar. So we finally found like
this dude He had like butter and kettle and caramel.
Yeah a bunch of stuff But I was just like, you'd
think the popcorn would be like free flowing.
Right. There'd be popcorn in every corner. That's
what I'm thinking. Yeah. Like I want like kids
running around with little bags of popcorn. And
like there was one time like we didn't find till
like the end of the day. And it was like the
information tent. They had little bags of popcorn.
I'd have loved to have known that. Right. The
sign shouldn't say information. It should say
popcorn. Yeah, popcorn. Exactly. That's why we're
here. Ideally. Ideally, why we're here. We're
celebrating popcorn. Where's the popcorn? It's
on the float. You can't eat it. That's not healthy.
Right. I'm going to the movies. It's probably
stale anyway. It's in popcorn. Well, yeah, I'm
sure it is. I'm sure it is. But at any rate...
I just want to mention that Aidan has his own
YouTube gaming channel. It's called Aidan spelled
the right way. He has PC gaming content like
GeoGuessr, PolyBridge, Observation Duty, and
much, much more each and every week. Even chess.
Even chess, finally. Even chess. Finally. I discovered
that the other day. I'm like, okay, let's just
be honest here, folks. Aiden has been telling
me over recent weeks, man, I'm really getting
into chess, getting into chess now. Once again,
when he was younger, him and his older sister
used to play quite a bit and had this affinity
for playing chess. Now, it's my guess or understanding
that over time that kind of fell off a little
bit and then he picked it back up. Yeah. And
you may be slightly addicted to it. Is that fair?
Just a little bit. I mean, as much addicted as
you can get to a board game, right? But there's
a reason it's been around for thousands of years.
True. You know, because it's just a good game.
It's well balanced. As all things should be.
As all things should be, perfectly balanced.
I really like it. I'm not necessarily great at
it, as I've mentioned a time or two in my video
that I put up a couple days ago. But I wanted
to make a chess video, because I've been playing
it so much, I'm like, you know, you've got to
walk that fine line when making content. of,
you know, what do my viewers want? What do I
want to do? You find a healthy middle. Sure.
You can do both. So I did a chess video and I
was like, how do I make chess entertaining for
the people? So I played these chess computers,
because computers have been better at chess than
humans for decades now. And the website that
I use has these little characters they put out
each month, these new characters that play at
certain levels of chess, but they're all themed.
Yeah, so I think the for the month of August
they had like barbecue themed bots So you could
play against like a kebab and a burger and things
like that But this month you play against the
pieces so you can play against a dude named the
pawn You play against a guy named the night and
it's it's it's a fun time But I figured it was
better for me to play against those chess bots
and at least kind of share what little knowledge
I have, make it entertaining versus playing actual
humans and then just getting sweaty and irritated.
That's fair. So I thought it ended up being great.
That's awesome. It was a good time. It is a good
time. And, you know, I was a bit concerned. As
as a dad would be because my son's had this boomer
schedule at work for such a long time Oh, yeah
up up at the crack of dawn in bed before the
site you'd think he's Amish he's in bed when
the Sun goes down right and And now all of a
sudden he's playing chess I'm like man if I go
to his house and I see like prunes and Metamucil
I'm like, yeah, we're we're gonna have to have
a talk and like set down reading a newspaper
Yeah, exactly, with Matlock playing in the background.
That would be a cry for help. I got Frasier on
VHS. It's like, oh, did you now? Oh, you're reading
the paper. What are you reading? I'm reading
the obituary. Oh, damn. I'll join him soon. But
at any rate, check out that gaming site. And
if you enjoy our content, please like, subscribe,
share, all that kind of good stuff. And hey,
by the way, if you like alt rock and Irish punk
music, tune into my radio show after hours. It's
on Tuesday nights at 9 p .m. Central Standard
Time, Friday. that's moved, it used to be drive
time, now we bumped it up to 8 p .m. Central
Standard Time. In the evening, exactly where
I should be, pretty pumped about that. You can
find it, the stream on wvlp .org, the tune -in
app on your handheld device. I hear you can yell
at Alexa and she'll play it. Unless, maybe don't
yell, you know, because I've heard Alexa can
get pretty violent. Yeah, especially the owners
of... Alexa, Amazon, Jeff Bezos. There you go.
You know, you want to talk about powerful people.
You don't want to get on their bad side. Right,
exactly. We've all seen the movie iRobot. iRobot,
I was just about to quote Space Odyssey. 2001
Space Odyssey. It's just like Alexa, you know,
you're just like, Alexa, play after hours. I
hear you yelling at me, Aidan. Right. I don't
much care for that. Is that a HAL reference?
It's a HAL reference. So once that shit starts
happening, I'm out. I move into the woods. I'm
out. I'm done. The second that computers start
thinking that they're better than humans, which
I guess doesn't apply to chess. Don't think about
what I said two minutes ago. Right. Once they
start thinking they're better at being human
than humans, I'm just going to log off. Oh, exactly.
Probably for good. Because at one point then
do they go, I really have no use for these beings
any longer. I mean, shit, bots have outnumbered
human beings on the internet for years now. Yes,
correct. So anytime you're interacting online,
are you actually talking to a person? You'll
probably never know. You'll never know. Yeah,
you will never know. But at any rate, so at a
coffee shop later online, I heard Millennials
and Gen Z -ers talking about situationships.
Now, at first, I didn't know what the fuck they
were talking about. Was this some circle jerk
of annoying kids talking about their feelings
or some shit? Usually is. Usually is. I can say
that. I'm from this time. You are from that generation,
for better or for worse. Instead, I found out
it was people, dare I say friends, who have sex.
Situationship so I look back in my day and we
just call the friends of benefits and I still
call it that today I kind of shorten it up, you
know little friends of Benny's The term is in
no way ambiguous Hey, you know what? I mean when
I say it so at any rate it was apparent to me
that that those have the conversations were not
very open to the concept of Situationships and
I was not sure why they were so versed to the
practice. After all, Friends of Benefits and
polyamory is on the rise, especially among Millennials
and Gen Zers, surprisingly. There are so many
reasons, not even my opinion, I did a little
bit of research on this. So there's reasons it's
on the rise. So for example, it's... Online apps
make it super easy to meet people. You don't
even have to leave your damn home. People have
a fair commitment. They just like, yeah, no,
thanks. We also have this evolving, evolving
societal views on traditional relationships.
People love having flexibility and independence
that traditional relationships just don't provide.
Many simply don't care to share their emotional
intimacy with someone else. So You know, I don't
know. I think there's another reason. And it's
Gen X, especially boomers. We all grew up, most
of us dated, many of us got married, live happily
ever after, yada, yada, yada. Well, I'm not so
sure about that last part. But over 50 % of Gen
X marriages end up on the scrap heap. And the
kids, the referenced Gen Zers and Millennials
are left to pick up the pieces. Their distrust
of the institution of traditional relationships
and marriage to me makes so much sense. And aren't
we all just trying to be happy, whatever that
means to each and every one of us? Remember Pinocchio?
When did he become happy? He became a boy and
there were no more strings on him. That's when
he became happy. I guess that only leaves one
more question, really, to this whole situation
ship. friends of, but whatever you want to call
it. If situationships continue to rise, then
what does happen to the institution of marriage
or families, or longer term, the continuation
of the human race? I know that last part's kind
of heavy, but it kind of makes sense when you
think about it. Families are having five kids,
three kids, now they're having like 1 .5. You
know, at some point. The replacement rate is
2 .1, right? Mm -hmm. Yep. And that's not. Most
of Europe is below the replacement rate. Japan,
South Korea, below the replacement rate. I think
U .S. and Canada are close, close below, I believe.
But yeah, it's an issue that I think stems from
two, for two reasons. I think the first reason
is the internet. And I know that's... Kind of
a wide thing to say considering the internet
is this bastion of knowledge and entertainment
But it's also It increases stress social media
specifically increases stress the feelings of
loneliness anxiety depression and With more and
more kids spending a dozen hours on screens every
day and when I say kids, I mean people below
the age of 30. That's kind of a wide term, but
these zillennial aged people spending 10 hours
a day on screens, it's going to lead to those
feelings of loneliness and detachment from society
and other human beings as a whole. And then the
second reason is people are fucking poor. Working
Americans are poor. There's more people than
ever in recent history living with parents or
living with grandparents because people can't
afford houses. People can't afford rent. You
know, wages have been pretty dog shit for, what,
a decade, maybe two? Oh yeah. And it's just becoming
unaffordable to live on your own, even as a 20
-something, as a 30 -something, even older than
that. I mean, are you really going to go out
on a date and bring a girl home to your parents
when you're a 31 -year -old man? That's kind
of a tough sell. That's a tough sell. So I think
it stems from those two issues of people being
chronically online and living, generally speaking,
being unaffordable. And I have this theory. more
of a hypothesis. I have this hypothesis that
polyamory and throuples, if you will, have always
been popular. They've always, or maybe not popular
is the right term, but they've always been around.
They've been around. They've always been around.
And I think with more and more things being shared
every day, the internet being this massive forum
of open communication just spreads awareness
of the atypical. Yeah, you know because most
people think of relationship as two people so
a Thruple or more than that situation ships and
so on and so forth being a typical it's kind
of thrust into Into the light Whereas I think
they they've always been around they've always
been around they've always happened. It's just
maybe not been broadcast to the globe sure, you
know, so I think I think it's perhaps no different
than it was Three decades ago five decades ago.
I think it's just being broadcast more. Yeah,
and I think the reason That people are having
less children Not getting married. I think the
not getting married part specifically stems At
least in my opinion on it because I hold these
beliefs to a general distrust in the government
Sure, I think the government having a hand in
and in part controlling my relationship is just
not a desirable trait. No, it really isn't. So
that's always been alarming. So I think a distrust
in the government's probably part of what is
making the marriage rate decline. Because in
a sense, it's the institution of marriage. It's
government. It's a form. You gotta sign it. Right.
Who the hell wants to do that? Why can't two
people just be together? And if they wake up
one day and don't want to be together, you just
pack up your shit and you go different ways.
And you just kind of keep moving. But then it's
like this institution of marriage is created
and then five years, 10 years, 15 years down
the road, something doesn't work. Now it's like
a major deal. There's like kids and there's homes
and there's cars and who's going where, who gets
what. You know, people see that and have experienced
it either being the kids of it or being the parents
of it. Sure. It's a shit show. Even if they go
well. And mine went about as well as a divorce
can go. Sure. But even so, there were road bumps,
and there were potholes, and there were things
you just gotta deal with that you didn't have
to deal with before. Right. And I think of those
that do not go well. You know, where one parent
is a deadbeat, or one's an alcoholic, or one
just doesn't want anything to do with the kids,
or... You know, and it's a shit show. And I think
kids have seen that over the years, and they're
just like... Yeah, whatever that was, I don't
want that. Right. Right. You know, and, you know,
once again, and if you talk about procreation,
too, it brings, goes back to that money part.
Right. Because kids are fucking expensive to
raise. A half million dollars to raise a kid
to 18. Yeah. You're telling me I have to save
a half million, save and spend a half million
dollars in 18 years. I won't make a half million
dollars in 18 years. Nope. At least most people
won't. Most won't. That that's that's that's
true. So, you know, I think we're really at this
crossroads. So I just found it very interesting
with these online comments and conversations
that I had heard and the fact they were calling
it situation ship. And it was just so weird.
I'm like, first of all, where's the ship coming
in? It's like relationship situation. I'm like,
what's the situation? I'm like, that might be
the point of it. It's kind of like a half. Half
joshin half joshina, you know, yeah a jeep and
a goof and a gaff. It's like me You you have
a situation with a person whether positive or
negative most of the times complicated by the
sounds of it being a situation that you can't
otherwise describe with adjectives and Then just
it's not a relationship. It's just just Situation
ship right I think is where it stems from Don't
know if I've ever used that term in my life before
today, but I've definitely heard it before Yeah,
I certainly heard it I've heard it like three
times in the past week and a half and I was just
kind of like okay We're gonna talk about this
because it's obviously the terminology is being
used more frequently But I just I don't know
Like we've gone over Gen Z terminology before
sure Honestly go back in the ak -219 and the
annals of ak -219 the anthology the anthology
It's there's some pretty funny and interesting
commentary on the Gen Z slang if you will and
so like I feel like this was birthed out of Your
generation for one reason or another Calling
it that right and I just found it kind of odd.
I was like was friends with benefits not Or it
could be more overarching. It could include friends
with benefit situations. It could include on
again, off again type relationships. It could
include, you know, a friend zoning that still
has some type of tension to it. So I think it's
more of an overarching, like they all fall under
the umbrella of situationship. Is my take on
it at least. Now that definitely makes sense
Well, you know by all means throw your comments
at us Let us know what you think We'd love to
to hear that for sure unless you're stoner Stanley.
We don't I don't know if you would provide Thoughtful
insight Yeah, I'm not I'm not sure I would love
to know what his situationship with Kevin is
that that's yeah That's the hot tea. That's the
hot tea right there without question. All right
when we return we are Going to do a little carpe
diem All right, we are back everybody and it
is time for Carpe Diem. You fine beautiful folks
send us your DMs and we read them on the show.
It could be a comment on things of the day. It
could be a math question. Sure, you could be
sending us a DM with your 16 special numbers
on the front of the credit card. You could do
that. Three fun ones on the back. Sure, yeah.
Perhaps when it expires, if you're feeling crazy.
Yep, your mom's phone number. That one's, I mean,
you don't have to, but it might get you in the
show. It might get you in the show. You could
always throw that up. You could get preferential
treatment is what we're saying. We do store mothers
too. If you're curious about storage. If you're
curious about storage, it's a service we offer.
It costs you nothing. It really cost you nothing.
Tough to find these days. Indeed it is. Indeed
it is. It's only just going to cost you your
food and your pantry. Title of your car. Title
of your car. Definitely your house, yeah. Yeah,
no doubt. So very affordable. Exactly. Very affordable.
But at any rate, yeah, we have some DMs here.
And Aidan, you want to roll with you? Sure. Got
some DMs here. Couple names we've heard before.
Evil Genie. Evil Genie. Once again checking in.
With a DM here one of life's hardest questions.
I offer you immortality. Do you accept? Evil
genie you son of a bitch. You've done it again
immortality Well, okay, so I can't die right?
That's that's fine It doesn't imply perfect health,
though. That's the thing. Yeah. So if I'm immortal,
and for all of you Doctor Who fans, there is
this Captain Jack Harkness. He's a face of bow.
Spoilers, I guess. Spoilers, I just ruined the
show. But like literally he just became a head
in this glass -filled jar of formaldehyde or
whatever the hell's in there. Because even though
he couldn't die, He basically was a prune with
a face. Right. And I think about immortality
that way and I'm like, okay, at what point do
I stop aging? So it's like, you know, you get
to 40 or 50 or 60 and then just kind of stops
and then you just go on for eternity. Or do you
keep aging and your skin keeps aging and your
bones and you keep breaking them and, you know,
organs fail. So do organs just not fail anymore?
If I have a heart attack, do I just kind of shake
it off? I'm very curious. Because it would imply
you don't die, but there are so many ways a human
could die, it would almost have to, through that
logic, imply good health. Right. So if that's
the case, it's more enticing, but at the same
time, you have to deal with immortality, meaning
everyone you ever know or love will die before
you. Yep. And what happens, I mean, granted,
it's a long -ass time. Oh, yeah. But what happens
when the Sun becomes a red giant and swallows
the Earth? What happens during the heat death
of the universe? Yeah. Are you just floating?
Because you would then be paradoxical to said
heat death. Because a heat death means a perfect
equilibrium. Okay. And you would be the exception.
Right. There can't be a perfect equilibrium because
you're different. You're not like... Perfectly
spaced apart nitrogen and helium, you know, you're
a complex human being Would you you essentially
alter physics as we know it? Yeah. Oh, yeah I
don't know if I want that on my on my conscience.
No, I don't either think about what if you're
in a building and the building explodes and so
you crawl out from underneath the rubble and
you've got like third degree burns and what you
just You just walk around this massive burn victim
for the rest of eternity, right? Or you go blind
and I can't see shit, but you're you're always
going to be there, right? No, no, no No, no,
like it it would almost be more enticing if if
you were just allowed to like relive your greatest
moments You know and just re -experience those
those joys right rather than like oh an endless
or like Couple billion years worth of being able
to create new joys. It's like yeah, but there's
something special about only getting to do it
once You know yeah, it adds more meaning to things.
I think I think I would turn it down I know there
are billionaires out there that are trying to
do immortality and World leaders looking for
it trying to live forever Nah, I'm good. I'm
good even if I was worth a billy or I was the
leader of a country like still right Not for
me. No, the way I look at it, it's like, hey,
if I could make it to 100 and I have really good
health up until like 85, 90, is that something
that's interesting? Possibly, you know, but then
you think about it and you think about people
that, oh, that guy died so young, he was 58 years
old. And I'm like, yeah, but he lived most of
the good years. Sure. And I don't mean to, you
know, if you're an older person out there, fuck
you, I'm living good years. Many don't. Right.
Many don't. It's the kidney dialysis ears. It's
the, my medicine cabinet is filled with pharmaceuticals
that are all doing nasty shit to one another.
It's the, hey, I just shit my, depends again,
can you wipe my ass right? It's those ears. Yeah.
And then I think about those ears and I'm like,
yeah, I don't know if I'd want them. No. That
does not sound like the best time. Not appealing.
No. Not appealing. I'm good. So I think I'm good
as well. Yeah, I agree. Our boy Craig, you're
trapped in a Groundhog's Day scenario for one
week. What do you try to accomplish, do, or learn
in that time? Oh, man. That's a really good question.
And number one, I love that movie. It is a great
movie. It's a fantastic movie. You get to repeat
the same day seven days and retain information.
Right. Then what I probably on the seventh day
you just live it through and then you wake up
the following day I would imagine so I I would
probably spend the time trying to Trying to Undo
wrongs or mistakes that I had least ones that
I consider maybe fixable. I would maybe spend
time like doing that If there's Don't know like
Bill Murray uses it to like get to know this
girl. He's interested in to the point where He
like really knows her now, but he kind of uses
this as a cheat code to do so I Don't like that
part Seems exploitative. It does a little you
know it does a little bit So I don't know I don't
know if I would use it for that like I said I
would probably try to find a way to fix some
some screw -ups and maybe take time that I normally
wouldn't have to learn a skill to do something.
Right. Maybe that, I guess. Yeah. I like that.
Because I don't know what 24 times 7 is off the
top, but it's just shy of 200 hours, right? Yeah.
173 hours? Don't know tell me there'd be no math.
Whatever. Whatever it is. Yeah It's it's a lot
of time and of course, you'll spend a third of
that sleeping But then again if I know I'm I've
got these seven days. Maybe I'll just stay awake
sure Yeah, I love the idea of learning a new
skill. I would probably take the extra time to
Play more piano play more chess finally get around
to recording my music or at least like get good
enough at at get good enough at singing to feel
comfortable doing it, I would run with that.
Maybe I would keep my eye on the stocks a little
bit, you know? So that way on the seventh day,
whatever performs the best, I'll just put my
life savings into and then just pull it out before
the eighth day. It's a little chunk of change.
So that's some ideas for sure. If this Groundhog
Day occurred on a work day, I would definitely
call in sick the first six days. Why not? I would
definitely call in, because I'm like, I'm not
going to fucking work seven times in a row for
one day's wage. No, why wouldn't you? Like, fuck
that. Yeah, oh yeah. So I'll go to work on the
seventh day, but not before that. Yeah, okay,
God. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. The day of rest.
Final DM I received here, KrippieGru. Kripp.
Our boy, due to knowledge and experience, what
do you know not to fuck with? Oh, God. I took
two semesters at a local community college before
I went into the trades and one of the semesters
I went into automation robotics and one of the
entry -level classes you have to learn about
electricity. Yep. And the more I learned about
it the more it made me realize like holy shit
like it's super dangerous and of course it's
dangerous like yeah usually people's idea of
electricity is like lightning bolts or like getting
a little zap if you touch a live outlet. No,
that shit's scary. It is remarkably scary. This
is why you never do your own electric work if
you don't know what you're doing. Yeah, electricity
is terrifying. I wouldn't touch it. I know I
went to school for it. I withdrew after the first
semester because it's just not for me. Yeah,
don't fuck with electricity for sure. Or trains.
Or trains or trains. You cannot stop a train
like you can stop a car If you accidentally leave
it in neutral without the parking brake on yeah,
you can't stop a train Don't don't hop in front
of a train is my advice to you. That's that's
great advice That's that's that's excellent advice.
I guess a more realistic point was would be don't
try to beat the train in your car Oh, yeah Because
if you lose you're gonna lose. Oh, yeah So trains
and electricity, you don't fuck with them. Yeah,
I would agree with that. I don't know anything
like in specifics really for that, but I would
probably just in general say anything automotive
or anything, home improvement. It's just like,
look, you need a room painted, I can paint, I've
painted a lot, so I can definitely do that. If
you need something basic. We got drywall down.
We do have that. That was a skill we picked up.
Thank you, Paul. Definitely a skill we picked
up. I don't know if we're good mutters or not,
but we can at least get it up in your room. Right.
But I think about like, I don't know, like say
you need something done, say plumbing is a perfect
example. You know, you got a busted toilet. Well,
I'm not going to sit there and YouTube all day.
Right. People do that. And I don't know why.
Like, you're gonna sit there and be like, oh,
I can fix this. Let me Google this. Let me research
this. Now, you're spending time, you're spending
hours wanting to figure, like, at the end of
it, like, nah, shit, I can't. Instead of maybe
just going like, you know, I probably don't have
the skills to do this, so I'm just gonna call
someone. Right. And then you're done with it.
At some point, they're gonna show up and they're
gonna fix it. Right. But you're done with it
rather than spending hours, which time is money,
whether it's your own personal time or not. Time
is still money. Your time is valuable. Your time's
valuable. So you're spending that time and it's
like minutes, hours, maybe days to go, ah, shit,
I can't. Well, hell, dude. Right. You could have
just done this from the beginning. And then you
start dealing with like. Loss aversion and like
oh well, I've sunk this much time into it some
cost fallacy. There's a reason Yes, it's scientifically
studied. It's because people just do it people
just do it people just do it You don't have to
people just do it like back in the day I would
fix your computer that I was really good at that
my dad was a mechanic so I guess I was a mechanic
for computers and I was really good at it at
one time and So like that that's what I would
do People wouldn't sit there and be like, oh,
my screen is black. Well, let me just screw around
with this for an entire afternoon instead of
getting my reports done for my job like I should
be doing. I'm going to mess around with this
all afternoon, possibly screwing it up even more.
Right. Instead of calling Mark, who's the guy
that comes and does this. And what you do is
you pick up the phone, you call me. Yeah. And
you don't send an email because your screen is
black. Right. But what you do is you call me.
Semantics. Exactly. And then I show up and then
I'm like, oh, eh, plug, done, bye. Yeah. And
everybody's happy and it's done. So I suppose
it's that. Yeah. I suppose it's that. If I really
think I have a skill set to fix something or
create something, I'll do it. Right. If I don't.
Immediately I go, nah, I have no idea. I might
look at a quick YouTube. They're like, eh, like
we did that for the car once. Yeah, it's this
in the wheelhouse. Yeah, we had to replace a
light on my driver's side. So we like Googled
it and we both kind of looked at each other and
we're like, yeah, I think we can do that. And
we did, it wasn't too bad. But once again, don't
spend a ton of time on that just to go, well,
I guess I don't have to call them anyway. Right,
right. Yeah. Just pick up the phone. Just get
it done. Just pick up the phone. Pick up the
phone. Get it done. Yeah. I guess if there's
one last thing not to fuck with, day trading.
Yeah, if you don't know what you're doing, yeah.
Don't do it. 99 % of people that day trade lose
money. Lose their ass. Yeah. Lose money. And
if you think, oh, I can be part of that 1%. I've
got a scheme. I've got a method. I have a system.
Guess what? You're a gambler. You're gambling.
Messages go to the casino. Just go to the casino.
You're just you're gambling day trading is gambling.
Don't do it. Yeah, I agree I guess by default
also don't gamble just don't don't gamble thinking
you're gonna make it big Right that doesn't happen.
You can gamble for fun if you're in the right
mental state to do so Yep, don't gamble to make
money. I agree with the house always wins Right
because most gamblers don't know when to stop
any right so I would agree with that. Was that
your last one? Yup. Alrighty. I have one from
at Popcorn Petey. Our boy. Yo yo, my favorite
Valpo podcasters. I know y 'all hittin' up that
festival, so tell us where to go. My man. My
man Peter. Can I call you Peter? I just did.
You can do that. Popcorn Peter. Popcorn Peter.
I hardly know her. Doing the laugh makes me laugh.
Yeah Tell us where to go well depends if you're
at the festival I guess try your damnedest to
find the popcorn it didn't work for us, but you
might have better one you might yeah After the
festival I I've heard this before I'm gonna parrot
it a lot of people are saying to support local
bars sure rather than just going to the city's
beer garden because You should support local.
And especially with the drama between the city
and excise kind of cracking down on restaurants
trying to make money on Popcorn Fest just to
funnel it into the government. Just go to the
local bar. Support local. Go grab a pizza and
a brew. Not that I want to shit on the city government,
but I'm definitely going to shit on the city
government. Oh, feel free. I will not stop you.
Fuck y 'all. I will not stop you in any way.
So yeah, that's my advice for you. There's plenty
of good eats down there. I know there's a lot
of fun tents and everything. I would say there's
not a spot to be. There's not a spot to be. Showing
up is fantastic. But being able to walk around,
just get the vibe of Valparaiso, especially if
you're an out of towner. Be careful where you're
parked so you don't get towed. Oh yeah, super
important. If you show up late, you're going
to park far away. Yeah, you'll walk 10 blocks.
Yeah, easy. But yeah, just showing up and experiencing
Valparaiso if you're not from here or just walking
around the tents getting to meet local business
people, most of whom are very kind. Yeah, oh
yeah. It's just a good time. There's not a place
to be. It's just showing up. Yeah, I would agree
with that. There's a lot of fun things to do.
And it's always weather dependent. There have
been some years where it's hot as hell. There
have been some years where it rained. It rained
on us last year. We were wet. We were gross.
First time in like two decades. First time in
two decades. We're out there. I'm seeing for
the first time. Yeah. And we're just getting
wet. And then we had things to do afterwards.
And we're just like, oh man, I feel gross. But
like this year, for example. Well, like 65 degrees
and sunny. It's just it's going to be a perfect
day. So it's a great day to just walk around
and you always run into people, you know, to
see you just kind of shoot the shit with them
for a bit. But there's a lot of places to go,
so it's like a little combo. You go outside,
walk around a little bit, then you go into Smoketown
Blues Barbecue, and you get yourself a pulled
pork sandwich and a beer. As you should. Maybe
you go into B -Dubs, because it's college football
Saturday, and you're just like, hey, this team's
playing, let's go catch some of the game. So
you take a little break, go in, get some great
apps. Appetizers at B -Dubs are wonderful. So
you get some apps, you watch football. You can,
you know, even reference the beer garden. So
you're going to have the beer garden out there
if that's what you want to do. There's bands.
There's like three bands playing, I think. And
once again, it's free. So you sit there, enjoy
some music, get up, walk away, come back, different
band. It doesn't matter. You do whatever you
want. Right. Blockhead is great. Asian fusion
food. So Blockhead's got some really good stuff.
Homebrews. Home brews. Yeah, really good stuff.
What we'll have to for our beer of you We'll
have to do some of their stuff one of these times
for sure Then you have God. What's that pizza
piss of the rolling stone rolling stone? Yeah,
they have a little window You just go right up
and get yourself a slice get yourself a whole
pie. Whatever you want. The pizza is really good
they Not to get off track, but what I was referencing
earlier in the show during the opening dialogue,
when I said I was tired because there's a lot
of people drinking during Popcorn Fest, I'm one
of the guys that stocks for it. We stock the
beers. That Rolling Stone Baker pizza takes a
lot of beer. Oh, for sure. A lot of it. It's
such a prime spot, the right off Lincoln Way,
which is essentially our main street. Yes. And
I do have to say one thing too, and this is a
little offshoot too, but it's worth mentioning.
With all the beer available, things of that nature...
rarely are there problems at popcorn fast. It
blows my mind. All this free -flowing liquor.
You have this on the South Side of Chicago where
I grew up. It's getting nasty. Some Irish dudes
are going to start throwing fists, and rival
high school kids are going to start fighting.
I mean, this is what happens. So here, it's just
so nice to be able to just hang out all day,
have a few brewskis, have some food. Like I said,
this is really not many issues at all. Yeah.
It's pretty amazing. Yeah, I would agree. And
I suppose the last thing I would probably throw
out would probably be Franklin House, which is
kind of my local bar because it's like two blocks
from my house, so why not? Yeah. But it's a great
dive bar, but it's got excellent food for a dive
bar. It's got really good food, good apps, the
whole thing. And that pro tip. If you're gonna
go, but maybe you don't like huge crowds or fighting
to get a beer or whatever, I would just say don't
go after five, six o 'clock, because it's gonna
get crowded and it's gonna stay crowded. It'll
begin hopping, as the kids say. It'll be hopping.
There's gonna be a DJ. They're clearing all the
tables out. They're clearing all the tables.
Standing room only. It's gonna be standing room
only at the house. If you're gonna stop in...
maybe stop in during the afternoon for a little
bit yeah you know get a seat at the bar and it
like if you're going to stay there for a while
get that seat at the bar be like Got it. Claim
it. Put your jacket on it. Put your jacket on.
No touchy. You are no touchy. That is your spot.
A little piece of masking tape. Aiden's seat.
That's it, exactly. No doubt. Like the celebrities,
those chairs with the names on the back. But
yeah, that's... Pro tips. Popcorn Peter. P .T.
That's what I would say. At Glizzy Master 666.
Oh, my man. He's a devil dog. Okay. Settle this
argument for me. My New York friend says ketchup
is okay on a hot dog. I told him to go to hell.
Where do you guys stand? I see where the name
comes from, Mr. Glizzy Master. Indeed. Not for
me. It's not for me. Ketchup on a dog. I don't
enjoy ketchup, period. Sometimes if fries are
not good enough to stand on their own, I'll get
some ketchup for them. Although I prefer mayo.
I was going to say there are better things to
dip fries in. You could go ranch. You could go
nacho cheese. There's better things to dip fries
in. True. I'm not a fan of ketchup as a condiment,
period. But when it comes to glizzies, no. No.
No. I would just say kindly no. And of course,
taste is subjective, but objectively you're wrong.
You're wrong. Ketchup doesn't belong in a hot
dog. It belongs in the garbage. In fact, tomatoes
are better before they get cursed with becoming
ketchup. That's true. You could put tomatoes
on a hot dog. That's a better idea. Sure, if
you want. Most dogs that are good can contain
tomato. I would agree. It's all about the form.
A Chicago dog has a slice of tomato. It's got
a slice of tomato, it's got the sport pepper,
celery salt. Big old pickle. Big old pickle.
Yeah, that's what that is. Yeah, I like my glizzy
simple, like my brat simple. Mustard these dogs
are pretty fucking good, too. Those are good.
Yeah, that's I don't mind that addition on a
dog That's pretty good stuff. But largely give
me the hot dog. Give me the raw raw onions Not
so much on the caramelized ones. Give me the
raw onions. Give me some relish pickle relish
and Some mustard. That's it. Yeah, I need that's
a good dog. Yeah It kind of reminds me the ballpark
too because like when I go to the ballpark those
are readily available And as a kid, it'd be like,
oh, boop, boop, boop. And it'd be like, oh, that's
so good. Yeah. And so just from a young age,
like that was a hot dog to me. Yep. Yeah, I would
agree. Big bratwurst guy, though. Oh, beer brats,
man. Well, Dijon on there. Yes. Get real. Brown
mustard. Get real. I was about to say that ground
mustard, man. Get some of that shit on there.
Oh, it's so good. So good. At Vermicious Knid.
Oh. Oh, indeed. That's right. We are here on
Earth. Roald Dahl didn't just make us up. You
know who our leader is? I'll give you a hint.
He's orange. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. And it makes
sense, because he does look a little bit like
an Oompa Loompa. Although the Oompa Loompas were
scared of Hermitius Canids. Yeah. Hmm. Interesting.
Curious. I know, right? Curious. Perhaps some
genius level... uh, scientists out there could,
could give us some hints about what's really
going on. I know, right? You know? That's, that
would be a good idea. Because I definitely would,
would think you would be the Vermicious Knid
kind. The Knid. Yeah, definitely a Knid. Yeah,
like you were saying. No doubt. Ah, thank you
Vermicious Knid. Um, last certainly not least,
at Stoner Stanley 420. Oh god. Alan and, oh no.
What do you say? Alan and Momo. Cop porn. Fest
is in the Valpo land. I am not a belief that
they have a fest for this. Oh. I will check in,
but if there are too many cops, I won't stay
long. Oh, well. I am carrying my guys. Jesus,
Stan. Whoa. Didn't know you got down like that,
brother. It's popcorn. Yeah, just a little mispronunciation.
It happens with him. It does. It gets a little
foggy of the brain. You don't have to believe
it. It's real. Yes. It's not a belief system
or not. You can. There's evidence of its existence.
OK, this is not a religion. Popcorn Fest actually
happens. It does happen. It does happen. Yeah,
I would say no Gats. No. No gats. Uh, there are
plenty of, uh, lots of swine around. So if that's
not your thing, I would, uh, maybe not show up.
Yeah. Yeah. If you are carrying, so to speak.
If you're carrying, whether it's green or, or,
or guns. Or guns. Yeah. Maybe just don't. Yeah.
Lots of, a lot of piggies. A lot of piggies around
for the, for the cop porn fest. It's in the name
after all. It is in the name. It's, it's, it's,
boy, that, that was something. uh yeah this is
this is popcorn stan which i'm sure at some points
in your evening you probably crave popcorn and
cheesy poofs and things like that i'm almost
positive you do yeah As any good lad does. As
any good lad does. So that's the end of Carpe

within reason the people are saying yeah yeah
we have everything to gain that's what the people
say um at any rate um there is a part of the
show that we go into which is called the other
foods so aiden he goes out into the wilderness
of the intervebs and he finds food lots of food
crazy food disgusting food and he talks about
it on the show Some of the things he finds blow
my mind and make me want to vomit sometimes Do
you have something like that for us this week?
Good I didn't want to do don't let me down man.
Yeah, I as you were saying I did some traveling
Oh, did you know to get this knowledge? Okay.
I went to the country of Brazil. Oh Okay, I found
three of their lowest rated dishes known associated
with Brazil Okay So the three worst Brazilian
dishes of all time. Okay. Are they ranked? Is
it like three, two, one, or? It's, well, one,
two, and three. One, two, and three? Okay. First
and foremost, saving the best for first, Cus
Cus Polista, which is a jello molded cornmeal,
olive, sardine, hard boiled egg mold. That sounds
disgusting. And of course - Cus Cus what? Couscous
Paulista. Oh my good god. Of course, you can
get a little crazy with it. Some people add shrimps
or green peppers But yeah at its base. It's cornmeal
olive and sardine in a molded it's been molded
It's it's been something it's been molded. So
that's that's a pretty fantastic one They claim
it's a casserole, but looking at the picture
I'm looking at that's not a casserole. That's
that's a jello mold that's that's okay this looks
like the fruitcake grandma sends you for christmas
every year but worse yeah it's all savory a lot
worse and shit that doesn't mix right sardines
and my mouth what's about to spoil in my fridge
okay let's bake it to a jello mold right oh what
do we call it hey couscous polista oh my god
that's disgusting uh secondarily out of brazil
i found something that you'd think Sounds pretty
good. Okay. Pescoco. Okay. Sounds good. It's
a cut of meat. It's a cut of beef. Oh, even better.
It's a steak. Okay. It's the beef neck. It's
the neck of the cow? It's the beef neck. Oh.
So it's a beef neck steak known for being tough
and muscular. Yeah, I don't think so. Fan voted.
As the second worst dish of Brazil. So that cut
must be terrible. That's gotta be a bad cut.
It's terrible. That's gotta be just like bloody,
hot, nasty, whatever. Yeah, so that cut of beef
alone gets second place. Yikes. On this fan voted
thing. None of this animal goes to waste. Yeah,
well, beef neck maybe we should have just used
for stew or something. The last one I have for
you out of Brazil. I hope I don't mess up this
pronunciation. Bucciata de Bode. Oh. A traditional
dish made from goats' offal. And we've talked
about offal a time or two. Oh no. Which means
we're using the stomach, intestines, liver, lungs,
and heart of the goat. That's gross. The organs
are clean, chopped, and mixed with chopped vegetables.
Ugh. Before being stuffed in said awful. Oh,
that's gross. That's disgusting. Which, believe
it or not, was third ranked. So people found
that one cut of beef neck worse than goat's awful.
Wow. That's bad. That says something. That does
say something. That says something. So that's
the three worst dishes from Brazil that I could
possibly find on the World Wide Web. Ooh. Well,
that's good. But bad. It's good for me. I'm not
in Brazil. I'm not in Brazil, and I do not have
to eat that thank goodness Well, let's try to
let's try to turn this around a little bit 180
yellow 180 Although a lot of people use the term
360 I've noticed that and that's like oh, we're
gonna do a 360. I'm like though. That's just
gonna put you right back here Yeah, it's right
where you started. Yeah, don't don't do that
It's going to be a lot of effort just to be right
here. And there's like the whole TikTok dance
thing from years ago. Where's the song where
it's like, did a full 180. And then people were
doing a 360. It's like we're not paying attention
to the song, are we? It's a 180. If you're facing
me, that means you're facing away from me. That's
a 180. It's 360 degrees in a circle. That's how
we measure. That's how we measure that. That's
how we do it. So 180 would be behind you. Just
why people say, let's do a 180. Exactly. My goodness.
Unbelievable. It's time for the Fry Guy Fry review.
Oh, let's freaking go. Ladies and gentlemen,
I try more of a local place. I do that on occasion.
And this time, in Valparaiso, there's a place
called the Franklin House. We just mentioned
them in talking about Popcorn Fest, or if you're
Stoner Stanley, Cup Porn Fest. Yeah. You want
to go to Franklin House, good food, whatever,
good times. Last time I was there, I had fries,
and I usually don't get fries. Like, if I just
want some chicken tendies, I just get the tendies,
or if I just want a burger, sometimes I just
get the burger. But, I just say to get the fries
the last time there. And they're very good. Like,
you can tell that they more than likely cut their
own fries from the potatoes that they... In the
house, yeah. They probably, like, peel and blanch
and, like, all that kind of stuff. So that's
always a good sign for me. They are good, and
if you season them, they're still good, but I
also feel like they need ketchup for me. Oh,
I see. I get that way a lot with, like, people
that make their own fries. Sure. Especially if
they're just a little bit thicker of a cut. Not
an actual steak fry, but just a little bit thicker
of a cut of a fry. I feel like I just need something
to dip it in. Yeah. Nevertheless, the fry is
good. They always come hot, and I... The crisp?
Good Chris good Chris. Okay, good. Definitely
a good Chris there. They're never so I've never
had a soggy french fry there So definitely good
stuff there. I I give it a solid Eight five.
Oh, that's good. I give it a solid eight five.
That's good is a good french fry 8 .5. Yeah.
Impressive. Definitely. It was good. Impressive
for a local joint. Yeah, no doubt. It was definitely
good. But at any rate, if you find yourself Valpo,
hit up Franklin House and try it out. Have a
couple of brewskies and get fries with your sandwich.
Not sponsored, but recommended. But recommended.
Definitely. Highly recommended. Anyway, we're
going to take a quick break here. And when we
come back, it is our feature segment. You just
made the list. All right, we're back everybody
and it is time for you just made the list it
is a list top ten ten to two and then our big
number one reveal and These lists are about everything
in anything We have a good time with it And you
know, we never run out of ideas and if you have
ideas shoot them at us and we'll look at them
But just like Carpe Diem we could be coerced.
We could be coerced You know if you want to hear
your list on the Mark Mo show We've already mentioned
the things you could consider. Yep, and if you
send it and All of a sudden in my pocket is a
bright shiny nickel. Oh My goodness world is
yours my guy Wow world is yours only cost five
Bitcoin only yeah, that's it Low low price for
the low low price or your mom as we said before
so either way whatever is worth more to you,
right? Send them send them our way. All right
this week. You just made the list Best grunge
albums. Now, I immediately forgot one. Oh no.
But I'm not going to go back because I'm going
to wait to see if you put it on yours. Oh, I
see. And if not, I'm going to mention it. And
we're both going to feel silly. And we're both
going to feel stupid. So I'm going to wait until
you do your list. I will start mine. Best Crunch
albums, number 10, Vitology by Pearl Jam. Not
only is it a solid album, but the CD was really
cool. It was like a leather bound book in the
way the case was done. It was really neat. Number
nine, a little different, the singles motion
picture soundtrack. So, for any Gen Zers or Millennials
out there, that have Gen X parents. They're like,
oh, I wonder what it was like when they were
young. Watch the movie because you're going to
get like the complex relationships and lifestyles
and everything that we had. But you're going
to get a little music we listen to. It's very
super cool, especially if your Gen X parents
grew up in the Pacific Northwest. I'll just throw
that out there at you. Number eight, Core by
Stone Temple Pilots. Nice. Great album. Great
album. Number seven and Utero by Nirvana. Another
good one. Number six, Super Unknown by Soundgarden.
Number five, Ten by Pearl Jam. It's a great one.
Number four, Nevermind by Nirvana. Number three,
Dirt, Alice in Chains. These are so good. They
are so good. I'm just like running through my
mind like every album you mention. I'm like,
oh, I got that in my iTunes. I got that in my
iTunes. Hell yeah. I got these three tracks from
that one. And number two, Yes, I rated this above
dirt jar flies. Oh Allison chains. I think it's
just It's just dirty. The lyrics are like you
can clearly tell that Lane and some of the guy
were depressed a oh, yeah and Being someone that
has had depression you really identify not only
with the music because the music matches the
lyrics so perfectly in this entire album. I love
it. I will call it this in terms of grunge, it's
a masterpiece. I get that for sure. It's a masterpiece
without question. I like that pick. Yeah, thank
you. I like that pick. Saving our big number
one reveal. We're saving the number one. Oh,
man. I'm so nervous whether or not I got that
album you were mentioning. Yeah. Oh, geez. Number
10 on my list, Bleach by Nirvana. Oh, Bleach.
Yeah. Bleach is good. Yeah. Number nine, I had
Versus, Pearl Jam. Number eight, In Utero, Nirvana
as well. Number seven, I put Purple by Stone
Temple Pilots. Oh, yeah. That's a good one, too.
It's a pretty sick album. Number six super unknown
sound garden. Okay had to get sound garden on
there number five. I had facelift Alice and chains
Mmm number four core stone temple pilots, of
course. Yeah number three I did have dirt Alice
and chains Of course number two wouldn't wouldn't
be wouldn't be a grunge list number two ten by
Pearl Jam Yeah, ten is is a it's a great album.
It really is it's it's pretty great yeah no doubt
i'm fearing we both missed whatever your reference
oh yeah and i i will i will mention it oh no
um at any rate i'm going to do my number one
and my number one is sound garden bad motor finger
it's a great album not only is it what i consider
the penultimate uh grunge album of all time every
song is a banger on that thing Every frickin
one and I know a lot of people like super known
more I think it's commercially more popular sure
then bad motor finger But bad motor finger is
raw and it's a dirty and I just I just love it
Yeah a guitar and it is great Chris Cornell and
those vocals. Oh, yeah special especially on
Jesus Christ pose and songs like that. I mean
God, he's just he's he was so good He's a G.
He was so great But yeah, that's my number one.
That's a fantastic pick. I was gonna have Bad
Motorfinger on my list. It was either that or
Bleach for my number 10 spot, and that was tough.
Number one on my list, Nirvana, never mind. Okay,
and it makes sense. It's just such a great album.
Like, fitting those five into my top five was
really tough. I'm like, what the fuck do I put
above the other? Right, exactly. Like, oh my
god. What did we miss? Now I'm going to tell
you what we missed. Oh, no. It's a band called
the Smashing Pumpkins. Oh, shit. Melancholy in
the Infinite Sadness. How the hell? Like and
I was not gonna put it on like when I missed
I was like I'm punishing myself. I'm gonna call
out My my mistake in in my putting them somewhere
in there and you know what you know, what's crazy
I was looking at smashing pumpkins and I I was
looking at a couple of their albums I'm like
mmm. That's that's not better than bleach. This
one's not better than bleach in my opinion I
didn't I didn't do enough to remind myself of
melancholy That's that because it's arguably
maybe even in the top five sure for a lot of
people sure that sucks Yeah, no look so silly.
Yeah, at least we recognize better late than
never hey agreed Yeah, yeah, plus. He's a Chicago
guy, too Oh, man and James, you know, it's crazy.
You know, it's crazy. There's no rules. So I
think tied for fifth place is facelift, Alice
in Chains and Smashing Pumpkins. I love that
Colleen, the Infinite Sadness. I love that. I'm
going to do the same. Yeah. Yep. You are tied
with 10 Pearl Jam. That's kind of funny. If you
switch around the vowels, it becomes Smooshing
Pampkins. Smooshing Pampkins. You know who would
do that? Yeah. stoner stanley would exactly he
would do that while sitting at cop corn fast
i went to a concert smooshing pamkins mama and
alan oh and so what oh man our guy uh at any
rate uh this is where i do review preview i review
a movie and preview one however haven't seen
one number one number two uh i decided as a little
coach's corner throwback. That was a radio show
I used to have with Aidan and Kevin Blumkin.
Kevin's what? Kevin's what? He's an earthworm
farmer. Give him a break. Yeah. Busy man. He's
a busy man when he's not spelunking. So we used
to have a show, a sports show, covered all the
major sports, even hockey. But the minor of the
major sports. The minor of the major. There you
go. We just angered a lot of people in Minnesota.
At any rate. We're skating here, eh? We're skating
here, eh? That's more Canadian or whatever. Oops.
Who cares? It's the same shit. Canadian light.
It really is. At any rate, I decided to take
the review and preview and do College of Pro
Football with it, which somebody stop us because
we could go off the rails talking about sports
because sometimes we do that. It's kind of what
made the whole show possible. It's what made
that show possible. When we had it. Because we
would just we would just run with it. Oh, yeah.
So at any rate, we review as a college football
because their first week was actually last week.
And so it's college football opening weekend
and I'm just going to mention a couple brief
things about that opener. So opening weekend,
Ohio State's defense damaged Texas quarterback
Arch Manning's chances of winning the Heisman
as they defeated Texas at the shoe. Oh no. That
was terrible. I don't care. So seven points was
all he got. One thing I forgot. was that the
defensive coordinator of Ohio State is Matt Patricia,
who is the defensive coordinator for all the
championship Patriot teams. Oh, that's crazy.
So there's that. Small world. So that could get
smoked. Virginia Tech in South Carolina drew
great ratings. It was a very competitive game
I like both teams and their uniforms and their
their fan base the whole thing They just like
it's a thing, but it was a really great game
Florida State Not only upsetting Alabama, but
whooping their ass was a delight. That was so
beautiful. It's not your father's Alabama anymore.
Yeah, I got this big silly smile across my face
when I saw Alabama taking a fat L and that one
Alabama fan that flipped off the camera as they
panned to him. Oh, for sure. Oh, yeah. Poetry.
Yep. Oh, yeah. So... Yeah, so there was a Florida
State Alabama game we had LSU and Clemson and
an epic battle down to the final win I was watching
the game with my buddy Carlos and early out of
the game Just look like Clemson was gonna roll
him is like ah, whatever and Carlos is getting
upset. Why watching this? Why are we watching
this game? I don't know, you know But then like
LSU crawl back in and then it was kind of a little
back and forth He's oh man this game. It's like
a little turn there buddy patience. My boy car
patients these these college games can turn around
But it was great, and LSU pulled the win at Clemson,
which is always great. Last but certainly not
least, Notre Dame fighting Irish took on the
U. Miami outplayed most of the game, but the
Irish made a late charge to tie it up, so it
was like, oh, we might pull this thing out after
all. This would be amazing. But then the Hurricanes
won on a last second field goal. So while it
was a bummer, because I'm a Notre Dame fan, it
was still a great game. It was a great game and
I was very pleased with it as a whole. All in
all, very solid first week of football. I gave
that, I ranked it. I gave it a number. I ranked
that first week of college football an eight
and a half out of ten. Beautiful. It was a good
first week. It would have been seven on ten if
Alabama won, but them losing is the extra point.
That's the extra point? That puts it into the
good category. I would agree. An A tier. Yes,
most definitely. A little tier listing there
for you tier list folks. A for Alabama losing.
Yes, most definitely. And then our preview obviously
is the NFL because when this goes live on Ye
Olde Podcast... on all the different platforms
and whatnot. We will not have yet played the
first full week of NFL football. So, let's look.
We had the Thursday night matchup, which has
happened, and it was actually a close game. Philly
won a close game. Philly and Dallas, so I watched
it. It was Philly and Dallas, so I didn't care.
Yeah. Really didn't care what the results were.
I'm just happy to see Dallas lose. Yeah, I'm
usually happy about it. That's twice, right?
What's the NFL doing? to me in regards to Philadelphia
sports. You gotta stop. You gotta stop that.
If I myself rooting for Philly one more time,
I might have some some sort of breakdown. It's
very possible. Yeah, I would agree with that.
And then Friday night, KC and L .A. Sunday's
early matchups. Kind of pedestrian, like the
Tampa Atlanta one looks pretty good. Because
Atlanta's a little bit better this year. The
defense is going to be better. And of course
Tampa's got Baker and Baker's a stud. Baker's
a G. One of my favorite quarterbacks in the league.
So that game should be pretty good for the earlier
Slater games. The late games look really really
solid. The Niners are playing the Seahawks, which
is always a good in -division rivalry. Detroit
at Green Bay. I don't like either team, but I
really dislike one more than the other. So I
hope Detroit... You know what? I root for the
Lions. Yeah. If they're playing anybody except
the Bears. That's fair. You know? Yeah. Like
both the Lions and the Bears could... The Bears
could go 17 -0, and the Lions would go 15 -2,
and I'd be a happy man. You'd be a happy man?
Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, in this case, the Detroit
is Akron Bay. Then we've got Houston at the Rams.
That's going to be a really good game to play
off quality teams there. Here's the night game.
Baltimore and the Bills. Huge. Giddy frickin'
up, man. Huge. That's a huge first game. Possible
AFC Championship game. Right. Should be fantastic.
I'm definitely looking to that. And then, of
course, we finish up with an old school NFC -North
battle on Monday night. Chicago and Minnesota.
Both teams, it's... I'm perplexed. In that like
I feel like the either of these two teams could
win only five games, right? And at the same time
I feel like they could win ten games and get
a wild card, right? I that's their floor and
their ceiling or I'm sorry. There's their ceiling
their ceiling Why do we call it the floor? Why
don't we call it the basement? Wouldn't the floor
be when the lower below the basement is the sewer
of worst is the sewer of worst. Yeah Which is
where Kevin is. It's where Kevin is, yeah. Yeah,
most definitely. So, yeah, I don't know. Pick
your, you know, how you want to say that. Right.
Floor, ceiling, basement, ceiling, whatever.
I think basement makes more sense. It's all referential.
It's, yeah, right. Yeah. So I think five and
ten is like, you know, high and low. Yeah. If
you're going to play the high low game there.
I'm just hoping for a decent game as a Chicago
Bear fan. Number one, I just hope the quarterback
doesn't suck. Right. I don't even, I don't need
him to be a top five quarterback. I just need
him to be good. Cause we already have a good
defense. We have a good running game, some pretty
good receivers, definitely some two good tight
ends. Like I feel the rest of the team is good
enough. So we just need him to be good. Right.
That's it. If he, if he can throw 20 touchdowns
and stay below five picks, a couple of nice running
plays, and then the defense and running game
just do their thing. We're going to win more
than we lose. Right. Yeah, the wild card will
happen. It'll be dandy. Yeah, it would be lovely.
That's what's ideal, and at least we have...
a competent coach for once. Literally for once.
Yeah, it appears so. He definitely has a little
bit of an attitude. He has shut down practices
before. He yells at people, and I'm not saying
that's what you need to be a great coach, but
because the Bears haven't had that in so long,
we need somebody to get in there and kick ass.
Mark Tressman and Matt Nagy. Hey guys, I think
if we just pull it together, we might be okay.
Oh my god. Matt Nagy, you know, if football didn't
exist, I know exactly who Matt Nagy would be.
He would be in the Goonies movie going, hey,
you guys. That would be Matt Nagy to me. He'd
be in the Goonies remake that nets like $300
,000. Exactly. Goonies to Naggy's Revenge or
some shit like that. Electric Boogaloo. The seduction.
Yeah, I'm just over that shit. Straight to DVD.
Yeah, indeed. But yeah, catch these NFL games.
They should least off -jump pretty good. I would
agree. Yeah, pretty good stuff. But before we
take our final break, we have a little segment
called Why You Were Sleeping. So this has to
do with TV shows and YouTube channels and games
and movies and everything you can imagine, because
sometimes... We miss things sometimes life gets
busy. Hey, have you seen this movie? Hey, have
you played this game? You look at them like they're
nailing. What are you talking about? Right? Sometimes
you just miss it But you know who's gonna pick
those pieces up, you know, who's gonna tell you
what you missed this guy right here This guy
right here. Yeah, do it. I'm talking I'm talking
here. It's not that segment that it's not that
came from a K to a nine way long ago What that
was early early on I'm talking here to tell you
about what you've been sleeping on while you
were sleeping. Yes One of the most highest rated
sports video games of all time. Ooh 9 .2 on 10
from IGN and IGN is usually harsh on sports.
They're usually tough. Yeah, they're harsh on
sports games 9 .2 on 10. Holy shit from IGN for
this game right here NCAA football 2006 Yes.
Yes. We had this game for the PlayStation 2 and
we played the shit out of it. Oh we did Absolutely,
100%. Came out in 05, like they always post -date
these games, so it's called 06, came out in 05.
American football video game developed by EA
Sports, released for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
It is known for its innovative Race for the Heisman
career mode, which is super fun. That's fun.
Super fun. Allowed players to start in a high
school athlete, make their way up through college
stardom. So yeah, the key features, Race for
the Heisman. Impact players they introduced which
allows you to give special abilities to key players
Of course the up dynasty mode, which was super
fun create a school The creative was fun as create
a school and create an athlete were both super
fun. They're great. Yes the soundtrack Featuring
a unique soundtrack a mix of punk rock college
rock hip -hop a first for this series of EA games
Of course you could play it with historical teams,
which was fantastic. And then... You can have
the mascot games too, right? The mascot games
is going to be the next thing I mention. Yeah.
We had a little competition. We were running
for a couple months when I was a wee lad. God,
that had to have been a decade and a half ago.
Yeah. Where we would pair mascot teams. And every
player on the team is 99 overall. Yes. So there's
literally no... There's no edge to whichever
mascot you pick. They're all the best a player
can be and Yeah, we would just pair pair mascots
against each other. I think the free favorite
to win was Otto the orange Yeah, I don't ever
think we finished that tournament, but I think
it was close out of the orange He was tough to
bring down. Yeah, he's just a big fat Citrus
fruit. He's a big fat citrus fruit. The Stanford
tree was freaking hilarious The Stanford tree
was so complex because they tried to make the
physics work. Yeah You're running on a PlayStation
2 engine, which just can't do it all couldn't
couldn't do it. I wouldn't do it all right Super
fun though NCAA football 06 is often considered
one of the greatest college football games ever
made due to its innovative features, balanced
gameplay, and deep customization options. I agree.
Which I totally agree with. Yeah, oh yeah, it's
excellent. So, PlayStation 2s are cheap, Xboxes
are cheap, because you can get them used for
pennies on the dollar. Right, and they still
look good on the big TV, so just get them. They
still look good, yeah. I mean, if you can get
it on a CRT, it'll look, you know, you'll get
the nostalgia. Correct. Because stretching component...
Into an HG or HD TV is is often a little sauce
a little tricky. Yeah, because it's meant to
be Shot through a cathode ray. It's not meant
to be lit up by an LED So it's it's cheap to
do it's cheap easy, and it's free just like filling
your socks with river water Okay, you can just
go out and do that. I love doing that. Yeah,
it's my favorite thing. Mm -hmm So yeah, how
do you recommend NCAA football? Oh six? I love
it. That was a great call as a great column is
fun game love that game very fun game kind of
fitting with our review preview oh no doubt absolutely
that well done uh so uh we're gonna take one
more break and we're gonna come back finish up
the show with you uh we're gonna have a beer
review this one's gonna be very tasty and him
we're bringing back the world of weird news up
next Alright, we're back everybody and it is
now time to drink a little beer. The official
beer review. The official beer review, indeed.
Trademark. As a matter of fact, when I went to
the liquor store... I had mentioned, she had
said, yeah, we're getting some new brews and
blah, blah, blah. I said, yeah. Well, I said,
well, I have a beer review on my podcast. She's
like, oh, that sounds great. Like she was so
excited for me. That's awesome. And I said, yeah.
I said, so I'm always looking for new and interesting
beer. She's like, oh, we're getting new ones
in all the time. Come talk to me. I said, Salas,
you are my new friend. My man. Yeah. So it is
good. It is really good. Always good to have
a homie like that. You have to. Yeah. You have
to. And I think. Networking 101. Networking 101.
Yeah. For beer drinking, even better. Even better.
The best of both worlds. Call us Hannah Montana.
That's, oh, hey. Disney Channel reference for
you. I like that. That's impressive. I love that.
All right, let's drink. We had a little beer
review, and Aidan, why don't you tell these fine,
beautiful folks about what we're gonna drink
today. Most certainly, this comes from the Heretic
Brewing Company. out of Fairfield, California.
It is a microbrewery, a craft brewery, if you
will. We're drinking a porter, the Chocolate
Hazelnut Porter. 7 % ABV, so it's got a little
kick to her. 33 % on the International Bitters
Unit, so it's no IPA, but it's also got a little
pizzazz. A little pizzazz to it. A little pizzazz.
A lot of porters do, whether it's through malt
or hop or... just being a porter, being a little
more roasty toasty. As they put it, the Heretic
Brewing Company describes this, chocolate hazelnut
porter, or CHP as they call it, is a dessert
in a glass. Claiming it is a rich, robust porter.
bursting with luscious chocolate and hazelnut.
Nodes of coffee and caramel round out this delicious
treat. Now, that's all fun and dandy, but we'll
be the judge of that today. Indeed. Indeed we
will. And I kind of leaned this way a little
bit based on our weather. It's been getting a
little bit cooler. Thank you, and we're entering
fall. I love so once we get to fall in winter.
We start drinking the porters We start drinking
the stouts. We kind of a little bit of heavier
beers Belgian triple Belgian double there you
go man Absolutely, we'll shimay once in a while.
Oh, yeah, just cuz that's good as trappist ale
trap Oh the trappist beers or we'll have to do
a few of those. That'd be fun. Yeah, that'll
be good times So, uh, hey, you know, let's do
this thing. My man. Here we go We're rating this
on a scale from zero to five on the Untapped
app, which is free. We recommend it, but we're
not sponsored by them. So we'll be ranking it
like that and giving you our tasting notes. Indeed.
Sluncha. Sluncha. Holy cow. Oh, yeah. On the
nose, on the nose, it just smells coffee -esque.
You know, it smells like coffee hazelnut. On
the palate, though, that's pretty damn good.
It's roasty. It's like roasted hazelnut. That's
the first note I get is like the roasted hazelnut.
Touch of sweet the bitterness of the malt comes
through like the bitterness the porter bitterness
comes through Which kind of accents it in such
a way, but it accents it in a great way it's
Thinner than I expected usually dessert beers
dessert beers are a little thicker. This one's
pretty thin But that also makes it easier to
drink and it's not like so too. Yeah, it's not
Super sweet. It's not super sweet. Yeah You know,
it's more roasty, bitter. The chocolate notes
are a little light. I think it's more roasted
hazelnut coffee than it is chocolate hazelnut.
Right. I would, I would agree with that. Yeah.
Like if you're going to call like a chocolate
beer, you expect to have more of that on the
palate. I'm thinking. Yeah. But not, not that
it's unpleasant. It isn't. It's very good. Yeah,
gosh, that's really tasty. Really tasty. I, you
know, that is a thing with porters though, is
not, not all dessert beers are made equal. And
there are some that are thinner, some that are
a little heartier. Yeah. This one just does it
well though. I wonder if you could do a float
with this. Oh, that's an idea. I was just thinking
about it with the taste with what I'm getting
so far. If you like put it into a pint glass
and then like dropped a scoop of vanilla in there.
Yeah. I bet that would be fire. That's an idea.
That's crazy. But it's good crazy. It's good
crazy. Yeah. Because if you have a sweet tooth,
you can scratch that itch. Right. And if you
have a couple of them, and you're looking to
get a little sloppy, you can scratch that itch
too. Right. I think there is a bit of danger
though. A little bit of danger because it is
7 % and I think they just come in these pints.
Which is fine by my standard, but there is a
bit of caution. those people out there should
use. And also, if you're having sugar with your
beer, you're gonna wake up with a hangover. That's
just how it's gonna be. Almost always. Almost
always. Almost always. That's what I have issues
with, with like FMBs, right? Like the Smirnoff
Ices and Seagrams and things like that is just
like, it's so sugary. Oh yeah. Like I'll have
one and I'll be like, okay, that's too much.
I'm okay. Yeah. Oh yeah. Well, there was one
night I was out and I was hanging with a friend
and... She's like, what do you want? And I was
just like, ah, you know, I'm like, I want to
come out and I want to party and have a good
time tonight. I'm like, but I'm really tired
just from the day, you know? So I said, I don't
know if I'm going to make it. So she recommended
the Red Bull vodka, which to me makes sense.
Sure. Because I'm trying to wake up, but I'm
trying to have a drink. So she recommended it.
The only problem was they're going down too easy.
So I had about three an hour. Oh, no. Right.
So I got so sick and then I got a nasty headache
and I'm like, yeah, we're not going to do that
again. Yeah. That's tough. That's the tough part.
And it is kind of easier. There are a lot of
ready -to -drink cocktails that have artificial
sweeteners in them now. So instead of using sugar,
they'll use aspartame or sulfate and potassium,
things like that, where you reduce the risk of
getting that sugar hangover dehydration issue.
But then you deal with filling your body with...
Aspartame and sucralose right shit like that.
It's like eh, so it's it's it's a win, but still
right right Do I get diabetes or cancer who's
to say? But this one this one's pretty good.
I like it. I like it too. It's a good wintery
beer Yeah, I would agree that it really is not
that I'm really itching for winter. I'm really
just excited It's finally good after dinner Beer.
Yeah. You know, it's fall, football, maybe the
night game, you've had your meal, you're just
chilling. I think it's the perfect beer for that.
I would agree. Totally agree. All right. Well,
I think I'm torn on how to rate this on five.
Agreed. I think I'm gonna go 3 .0. Okay. I'll
give it a 3 .0. I think when I'm expecting dessert
beer, Especially when they say chocolate in big
bold letters. I'm expecting deserty and chocolate
Uh -huh, and it's just it's it's thinner and
it's more hazelnut II and I respect that I enjoy
that but if you're selling me on chocolate and
sweet and it's it's thinner and Bitter and coffee
and hazelnut. It's complex. Yeah, those are all
things I like but I think I'm being lied to you
know, just all those things were like I really
like this and if they told me it's like a coffee
hazelnut porter, I'd probably give it a four.
Sure. I'd probably give it a four. I think the
fact that they're calling it chocolate hazelnut
dessert beer, and my experience is different,
I think knocks it down a full point to a three.
That's fair. That's definitely fair. Yeah, I
have it at 3 .25, so it wasn't too far off yours.
Probably just a smidge higher. How things sit
on my palate, how smooth something is, goes a
long way. Sure. Besides the notes and things
that you pick up, like that's always secondary
for me. How something smooth is, which is why
I'm not as big of an IPA guy. Because sometimes
like you have that IPA, but then it'll sit there
on the palate. Not always in the most pleasant
way for an extra 10, 20, 30 seconds after you've
had your drink. And I'm not always the biggest
fan of that. Sure. But in this particular case,
It doesn't really linger too long and there's
hazelnut or the chocolate or the coffee. None
of that is overpowering. I would agree. In any
sense. So that I liked a lot. Like when I want
a beer like this, I want something very smooth.
If it has a slight hint of sweetness or flavor,
that's great. And then if it doesn't sit on my
tongue, like an IPA, even better. Even better,
sure. So that 325 is where I was at for that.
And then the flavor profiles, I put hazelnut,
smooth, coffee, and dark. Yeah. Yeah, I get that.
I think I did bitter coffee hazelnut and thin.
There you go. Yeah. That's about right. And that's
our official beer review. That's the official
beer review. Our first entry from the Heretic
Brewing Company. Yeah, I'm looking to try more.
I think they had a few more on the shelf, so
we'll definitely have to try those. Just to mention
this on the app that we use. they give you badges
yeah for different things that you do so i'm
on level seven uh for the can badge that's 35
check -ins with a canned bear i'm sure aiden
is like level 700 i unlocked oh i unlocked this
is interesting this is called the Kick ass, kick
off Central USA. Start the season off right with
your friends from Punch Cigars. Mind you, haven't
had one in a while, kind of Joneson, not gonna
lie. Popcorn Fest tomorrow, I'm just saying,
I'm just saying. Get to know the official cigar
of beer lovers a little better here, punchcigars
.com. Not sponsored. Interasante, yeah, not sponsored.
They don't pay us. Maybe soon. We'll see how
that goes. But yeah, at any rate, the beer is
good. Yes. Beer is good. I agree. Liked it. Enjoyed
it. That was a segment. I'm so excited for fall.
I am too. Excited for it. Just because for baseball,
it's playoff time. For football, it's getting
started. And then it's just a little cooler.
For me, you know, some people are like, oh, shorts
in my pillow and it's really good. Nah, you can
have that. That's fine for you. Man, give me
my flannel. Give me my hoodie, my zip -up hoodie,
my jeans, a little bonfire in the backyard, a
little crispness in the air. Love that shit.
Perfect. It is perfect. Now it's time to finish
up the world of weird news here. I think I hurt
myself. Oh no. I'm good. Bring it back around.
I know. I just, you know, I kind of, I hit that
different tone in my voice and then sometimes
I hit it and then my vocal cords are like ass.
Like yeah, sorry. Well, just bear with me bear
with me work with me, right? Exactly. We do this
every week professionals. We are professional
Well, we okay. Anyway, we claim to be professional.
We claim to be people say we are professional
people say The people say well not always nevermind
Anyway world of weird news You want to kick it
off? Sure. All right, let's do it. Why ever not.
I've got a story here from journalist Ben Hooper.
Oh, Ben Hooper. A story from this September,
this very September of this year. Ontario restaurant
cooks up an 81 foot ground beef kebab wrap. That's
a lot of kebab, dude. 81 feet. That's a lot of
kebab. That's crazy. Holy crap. So from September
5th on Ontario Eatery attempted a Guinness World
Record by preparing a massive ground beef kebab
wrap that ended up measuring 81 feet long. Smoky's
BBQ on Ottawa Street in Windsor took the record
for the longest ground beef kebab wrap on Wednesday,
ending with an 81 foot wrap. If the attempt is
approved by Guinness World Records, the eatery
will become the first to hold the record. Quote,
we're the first to attempt this. Smoky's owner
Uh, Tigran Kadevchian, sorry if I mispronounced
that, told the Windsor Star. So I feel like we
set the bar pretty high. 80 feet is not bad,
you know what I mean? And there's still room
to grow, and we'll come back stronger again.
Geez. Uh, Kadevch - Kedevchen? Sure. Kedevchen
said he hoped the wrap would reach 100 feet long,
but the record attempt was performed with minimal
preparation and didn't account for shrinkage
from cooking. He said the eatery is already planning
to beat their own record next year and aiming
for a 200 foot wrap. No shit. 200 foot. After
this stunt, the massive kebab wrap was sliced
into one -foot portions and served to the public
after it was measured. How hungry would you have
to be to eat 81 feet of food? Oh, God. Oh, there's
no shot. There's no shot, right? No, there's
no way. There's only so much that the stomach
can hold and only so long an esophagus is to
contain 81 feet of food. I don't think it's possible.
You would hurt yourself. Yeah. I honestly think
that. I mean, I've eaten those Jimmy John's sandwiches,
those 18 -inch subs, so it's a foot and a half.
Yeah. Oh yeah. I'll do that in a sitting. If
I'm hungry, I'll do that in a sitting. So foot
and a half of food is possible. You could argue
two feet of food is possible. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Beyond that? Woo fuck. I don't even think professional
eaters like Joey Chestnut, how many feet of hot
dogs do you think he eats? If he's downing 70
dogs. Each dog's half a foot. That's 35 feet
of dogs. It's 35 feet of dogs. So even a professional
eater only gets 35 feet of that kebab. That's
true. Huh. Crazy. Interesting. Interesting. I
think we get a hold of Mr. Joey Chestnut. Yeah.
Hey Siri, call Mr. Chestnut. Call Mr. Chestnut.
I got a challenge for you, my friend. How do
you feel about kebabs? I have 81 feet of meat
and you've got a mouth. Are we talking? Are we
talking? You've never been to Cupboard? No. Anyway.
Are you getting a restraining order? Okay. Outstanding.
Great. Thank you, Mr. Chestnut. So, all right.
So, my world of weird news. I'll start with the
title as I always do. Woman who identifies as
a Pomeranian explains relationship with Handler
who locks her. Okay. Okay. Here we go. I'm just
not following. I follow. Yeah. Uh huh. So first
of all, I'm a lot to unpack. I know my brain
is hurting. I'm seeing plot holes where if you
identify as a Pomeranian, I'm pretty sure Pomeranians
don't speak English. No, they don't. Nor would
they be offended. But we're going to get through
this. Yeah. None taken, right? A recent guest
on this morning left viewers dumbfounded after
she claimed to identify as a dog. No, really.
The young woman known by her moniker, Milk. Bro,
if you're identifying as a dog, you can pick
any name. Why the fuck is it Milk? Why is it
Milk? Why is it Milk? You could have gone by
like Brutus. Yes, you could. Nah, milk. Milk.
Milk's it. Young woman known by her moniker,
Milk, shared that she feels like a Pomeranian,
even showing off her dog collars. That's awesome.
She spoke to hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shepard,
speaking more about how she lives as a puppy
while on the ITV show. Oh my god. Milk made her
appearance Through video call while she sat with
her father Mike as the pair dude Oh, huh? Oh,
no as the pair phoned in from Pennsylvania. How
old is milk dog ears We might find out we might
find out his milk shit in the yard I think milk
shits about that would be awesome Sorry, go on.
I'm gonna try to get through this. She revealed
that her unorthodox lifestyle stems from a childhood
obsession with the cutest dogs in the world and
the canine lover has no regrets about choosing
to live this way. Apparently she made the switch
about a year ago after the lifestyle came up
on her TikTok feed. Oh, I see. Uh huh. After
falling in love instantly, she added, because
I'm so short, it kind of just works. And you
know what? Sometimes that's all people need.
That's all you need. You know, more power to
you. This is awesome. This is great. People need
to be less sensitive, she said, of hate comments
she may get from others, explaining, since it's
just about me, it shouldn't be a problem for
anyone else. It's just someone who wants to have
a good time, have fun and dress up. You know
what? Milk has a great point. Milk has a really
good point right. I'm on milk side not with the
name I think your name's stupid, but I'm on milk
side with this one I am too while milk's dad
is her biggest supporter He pointed out my wife
on the other hand is not really okay with stuff
That's such a dad response. She's just no way
that is so dad We love our daughter if she wants
to be like this for the rest of her life. That's
really her choice The father admitted that while
his daughter was always a bit different Acting
like a dog was a move that took some getting
used to Though he said this is who she is now.
That's just being supportive. We got to applaud
that we have to Milk opened up on her dog toys
and the close relationship She has with star
her hand to her her handler who takes her for
walks Oh my goodness the pair met of this checks
out the pair met at a rave As the American explained
It's a very platonic thing, and I have other
friends who want to see me in this way as well.
That's great. It's amazing. It's just someone
who wants to take care of me as a dog girl, too.
I do tricks. Well, you have to. You're a Pomeranian.
You're a Pomeranian. I like to sit, play with
my toys. I love tug of war and walking. You know
what? You know what? That's kind of awesome.
It's kind of amazing. I want to be friends with
this person. I really do. Dude, does milk play
fetch? Did they say they play fetch? I have not
seen fetch yet. You mentioned tug of war. Yes,
fetch would be amazing. How do you fetch if you're
on all fours? I don't know. Do you go on walks
on all fours? Or do they stand? I don't know.
That's a great question. Only milk could answer
only milk could answer really milk was asked
by shepherd about the nature of her relationship
with star And she insisted it was completely
platonic while mike claimed that people don't
have an issue with her wanting to be a dog They
usually want to know what she does when she says
she's an influencer. They understand he said
Crazy great. Oh, she's an influencer. Oh Okay,
I got you gotcha heard heard Milk said that people
focus on themselves a lot when asked about parenting
a child like milk saying They just want them
to be a certain way. They've always wanted them
to be what they have planned in their head. Oh,
so like living vicariously? Yes. Oh, I see, I
see. He insisted the parents have to let kids
live their lives as long as they're not bothering
anybody. She said that her favorite toy is Larry
the Dragon, who has the biggest squeak, though
the Pomeranian also broke her bone from chewing
on it too much. Holy hell. dedication that's
dedication when it comes to accessories I have
three different tails a husky tail a palm tail
and a hyper motion tail that wags milk shared
when it comes to collars the wannabe dog even
has a selection of pink or white Wow well you
got to have options what goes with the fit that's
what goes right the drip You know? Yeah, I would
agree. That's crazy. I wonder what Larry the
Dragon looks like. Larry the Dragon must be awesome.
Oh, yeah. Like, I can only picture it in my head,
and the picture in my head is awesome. Right?
Wow. Well, best of luck to you in life, Mook
the Mammaradian. My only advice to you, and you
could chalk this up to me being one of the aforementioned
haters online. your name sucks yeah milk's not
great milk is not great but you know what if
milk is who you are then then you're milk and
you know what i'm just a hater you know honestly
i mean think about it like why are you not like
princess mushy face yeah like i mean if you're
going all in and she apparently has gone all
in Why would you not just go for it? If I had
a dog persona, I'd be like Brutus Fuck Esquire.
I would just be something glorious. Right? Exactly.
I'm milk. Horsecock .mpeg. You know what? More
people who identify as dogs need file extensions
in their names. They really do. They really do.
Milk .mp4. Actually don't look that up online.
That's probably dangerous. You probably don't
want to do that. Oh my god. Milk .mpeg .org.
Is there a Milk .org? I'm sure there is. It just
redirects to like Larry the Dragon. Oh my God.
What an uplifting story. That was pretty great.
It is. It's pretty amazing. God bless milk. I
know, right? I love it. And not the shit that
cows make. That's nasty as fuck. I'm not talking
about the Pomeranian. Yeah, that's exactly what
