Hey everybody, how's it going? This is the Mark
Mo Show, season three, episode nine. Silence,
I kill you. Right here on everybody's podcast,
whatever your podcast is, we're on it. It's this
one. It's this one. You're welcome. This one
right here. You're welcome. As well as YouTube
and I don't know. I don't know what else. I mean,
could be. You can find this anywhere. You really
can. We could be broadcasting, knowing how microphones
and audio software works. We could be broadcasting
to alien species right now. Which would be great.
Totally unaware of it. I'd love it. I'd love
it if we revisited. Yes. It's like Borcus the
Revenant. Three galaxies away. It's like, hmm,
these guys are great. Hey, how are you? Hey,
man. What's going on? I think they are funny.
Want to be on my podcast? Thank you, Borcus.
But anyway, this voice you just heard, this is
Aidan Maloney. He's my co -host. He's the producer
of the show, but I bet you didn't know, or maybe
you do. He has his own YouTube gaming channel,
called Aidan spelled the right way. He has PC
gaming content like GeoGuess or PolyBridge, Observation
Duty, much more each and every week. It's spooky
season. I've heard the rumor possibly some spooky
scary games. So what's going on in your world
right now this week? Specifically I found a new
game to obsess over for a little bit. It's called
simple planes Which is similar to the game. I
played a little bit ago called AV assembly if
you remember that one I did oh yeah, yeah like
build this like, silly -looking planes from ground
up. Yes. So it's like that. But the physics engine
is a little bit more true to life, so it's a
little tougher to get away with, like, my crazy
designs. Oh, right. But it's still super fun,
so I've done a lot of that this week on my channel.
And then there's this one horror game that I'm
looking to get to next week, where the antagonist,
the horror of the game, is this giant woman.
Oh, no. This giant woman with, like, huge bazongas.
And that's, like, the antagonist. But it's supposed
to be, like, actually horrifying, but then, like,
that's the main picture, like, on the Steam page
where I bought the game from. That's, like, the
main picture of the game. Oh, no way. And at
first I was just looking up, like, indie horror
games for the season, right? And then I come
across this one because Japanese horror games
seem to be phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal.
There's been a bunch of them I've loved recently.
I saw this one, I'm like, oh, it's got potential.
And I clicked through all the images they promote.
I'm like, oh my god. Huge boobas. Does she utilize
them in her terrorizing you? The terrorizing
repertoire, if you will. I would imagine so.
Good. So that'll be a fun one to play. But yeah,
it'll be good. I love Spooky Season, and I love
indie horror games. those in the season one and
two of this show know that's that's what I like
to talk about a lot with the while you're sleeping
segment but it will be different today on that
segment but I am looking forward to a lot of
indie horror oh that's awesome and and I you
know I do have to say that they can find you
on YouTube Yes. That's where you do this fine
gaming. Absolutely. And make sure you check him
out. And if you enjoy our content here, as we
always say, please like, subscribe, share, all
that kind of good stuff. And, by the way, if
you like alt -rock, if you like Irish punk, tune
in to my radio show. It's called After Hours.
Tuesday nights at 9 p .m. Central Standard Time.
Fridays at 8 p .m. Central Standard Time. You
can find the stream at wvlp .org. You can find
it on the tuning app on your handheld device.
I think you can yell at Alexa, but you might
want to watch out. AI is a little weird. Just
be careful. Just be careful. You know, one minute
you're yelling at her, the next minute the lights
go off in the bathroom in the middle of you pinching
one off. You do really need those problems. It's
too scary. It really is. Yeah, it is the season
though. And then Aidan's going to make a game
about it. Exactly. You're in the bathroom and
the lights go off and the chick with the big
bazookas goes and smashes you. Oh no, Alexa has
possessed the body of a lady with huge bazongas.
Oh no. Oh no. What am I going to do? Shucks.
Again? This is terrible. At any rate, yeah, just
check out all our content. We're just, we're
here and we're having good fun. And eventually
we're going to get back to doing another collab
that we do. It is similar to the Mark Mo show,
but the gaming that you find on AIDS felt the
right way. And what we have done is utilized
a show that was kind of on the shelf for a bit,
which is AK -219, guys being dudes. And we decided
that might be a good idea to resurrect it and
make it like a collab site. where we go on there
and Aidan and I play games together. And we,
you know, we utilize our various comedic skills
as we sit there and play various games. So far
we've only done GeoGuessr. But GeoGuessr is a
really good one too. It's right in the wheelhouse.
Yeah. It really is. Because you get like hints
of trivia. and knowledge and then you see big
signs that say ass and it's like well what could
this mean in this language exactly surely it
doesn't translate to ass it does not and don't
call me Shirley yeah yeah we just allows us to
use our improv skills and have a blast with it
and you know if you go on and you like gaming
content you like the games are playing and we
make you giggle a few times I mean that's that's
the point goal achieved goal achieved for sure
but at any rate On this particular podcast, we
open with the dialogue and we chit chat about
various things. And we had always said, we don't
want to be a political podcast. We don't always
want to open up with politics and all this other
stuff. But these idiots just give us content
every week. It's like low hanging fruit, dude.
It's so hard to pass up. It really is. And it's
tough, especially being comics or online content
creators or Artists in general when you have
the most heinous shit going on around you With
the most red -nosed her he kind of clowns It's
like how do you not point and laugh? You have
to point and laugh because otherwise you're just
gonna be depressed. Oh for sure. Yeah, like I
mean You know mainstream news is a shit show
no matter what you look at it, but Like, it would
be much more appealing if they would just tone
down the reporters and amp up music, like the
Benny Hill theme show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You
know, and it's like playing this as they're shot,
like... What's the one elephant song? Yeah, oh
yeah. They use that... Wait, let's see. They
use that song in a John Wayne film called Hitari.
You're welcome for that. Hitari? Yes. Wow. Which
has elephants. Well, it makes sense. The elephant
song. That's right. I always forget it's literally
just called the elephant song. Yeah. I'm like,
I think it's elephant something. No, it's just
elephant song. It's just the elephant song. Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely. Interesante. But at any rate,
you know, here we go again. You know, there's
strange days indeed in ye olde United States
of America. So your constitutional rights are
threatened every day by a right -wing fascist
dictator, you know who he is, and the clueless
brown -nosing assholes that work for him, you
know who they are. And I'm surprised he hasn't
hired Jeff Dunham's puppet, Ahmed the Dead Terrorist
yet. Silence! I kill you! Like, I think he would
fit beautifully in the administration. Right.
I think that would work out. The Orange Dictator
assaults our freedoms each and every day. under
the guise of protection and security and making
America great again, whatever. Which point were
they referencing with that sentiment? I'm not
sure. Makes you wonder. It makes you wonder,
but whatever the fuck they mean by that, I don't
care. And since the second term again, one of
the goals was to control mainstream media, censor
their points of view that are harmful to their
cause. Any public broadcasting is under assault,
right? Newspapers find themselves in court regularly,
attempting to defend themselves, and public officials
who release important quarterly numbers are fired
if they don't reflect kindly on the administration.
What are we doing? You can't melt the snowflakes.
They're so sensitive. They are. They're so sensitive.
Oh, you can't make me look bad due to my actions.
What we... What? Hey, yo. Hey, I like that. That
was good. That was good. But seriously, it's
like... I was about to say I don't understand
it, but I kind of do understand it. So this latest
assault, right, is on late night television.
So since the 1960s, stand -up monologues, open
the shows, and political jokes are part of the
shtick, right? From Allen to Carson to Letterman
to Hall to Leno, it just goes on and on. And
they would drag politicians through the mud.
Anything for a quick laugh from the audience,
right? So let's face it, presidents like Nixon,
Ford, and Clinton gave them tons of content.
But you didn't see any of them. Stop it. You're
going to I'm going to call your daddy and fire
you. What are you doing? What are you doing?
And you know, it's interesting. None of them
were canceled or censored because of a joke.
Americans used to understand political satire.
Politicians politicians never used to get so
butthurt over a joke. They just they just didn't.
And now it's like no matter what you say, because
the current leader of this country doesn't have
his head on, you know, looking down at his table,
opening file folders from NSA and CIA, and like
having like in -depth research, and meetings
with groups, and what are we doing here? How
are we doing that? How can we make things? But
that's not this guy. No, he's busy shitting himself
literally and figuratively on a golf course.
Yes. He's too busy. He's more interested in that.
Right. And underage women. Clearly. Clearly.
So fast forward to today, we see Colbert losing
his show and Jimmy Kimmel gets pulled from ABC.
They're comedians. It's satire. Even if their
politics are left of center, it's censorship
no matter which way you look at it. And opposing
voices are being shut up. For now. History repeats
itself often because humans are stupid. Really,
I mean, let's be honest. Everybody always talks
about how humans are amazing and human beings
and blah, blah, and we have all these abilities
and blah, blah, and yet we continue to do the
same stupid shit. I don't know. I think we're
overestimating our abilities here. At any rate,
you'd think we would learn, but we don't. You'd
think humans would spend centuries touching the
hot stove to finally learn, hey, fucker's hot,
man. I'm not touching that again, but we do.
You know, hey, it's fucking hot. Perhaps we shouldn't
touch that any longer. But I heard on the news
touching the hot stove was the thing to do. It
was the thing to do. The news told me. Yeah,
7 in 10 doctors said it was fine. Speaking of
history repeating itself, how about those Nazis
and how they systematically took over Germany?
To seize control of papers and the radio, the
Nazi party systematically dismantled the free
press. independent broadcasters under a process
known Gleikschaltung, which is coordination led
by propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. May have
heard that name before. By the way, there's a
guy named Steven in this administration who's
pretty much a carbon copy of this guy. And Goebbels
used legislation, party ownership, and intimidation
to ensure all media served to spread Nazi ideology
and eliminate opposition. Sound familiar? These
principles are currently in practice here. Obviously,
a blue tsunami in 2026 is gonna help kinda course
correct things a bit. But everybody's gotta stay
vigilant. Because anything could happen from
now until then. We could wake up and then we'll
be like, ah, there's not gonna be an election.
Then it's over. Then it's over. Right. And so
that would be a problem. But we have to continue
to speak out on any platform. I'm certain Colbert
and Kimmel are gonna live on, either through
podcasting or something else. Oh sure, if Conan
can do it, they will. Oh for sure, and Conan,
who, I'm just gonna speak for myself, but I think
you feel the same way, is from the Late Night
Guys, I think is just like the elite. Oh sure,
S -tier. He's S -tier for sure, and I think he
just saw the writing on the wall. Right. I think
he really did and was like, hmm, I still love
doing this stuff But I think I'm gonna do it
a little differently and he controls the content
right and he controls everything getting away
from structured network television It's huge.
Yeah, it's huge. So I think I think they'll end
up, you know, maybe doing something like that
But you know, we have to call out these fascists
who aren't making America great. They're making
America Germany from the 1930s, right? And I
think it's, we're in for dark days. We're really
in for dark days. If we're not already there.
If we're not already there. And God, I wish I
had ideas, I wish I had solutions, but I don't.
No, and it's curious you bring up the importance
of the aforementioned blue tsunami that you mentioned
for 2026. Right. And if for any reason, whether
through election interference, which we know
happened in 2024, or through just declaring elections
won't happen, even if this blue tsunami happens
and people with a couple functioning brain cells
actually enter the Senate and the House of Representatives,
it is going to be imperative. Because clearly,
The United States of America has shown that there
are no protections. There are no protections
of checks and balances. There are no protections
of the importance of the legislative and judicial
branches. There are no protections against a
president becoming a dictator because it's currently
happening. It's happening, right. There have
to be protections and it's mind -blowing. That
we were all taught learning Civics and government
that oh checks and balances, you know, the the
three sectors of the government blah blah blah
Clearly that shit does just not matter, right?
Just doesn't matter. So that's going to have
to be checked and balanced Clearly and and you
mentioned a bit earlier too. I wanted to comment
on this because a quote came to mind I forget
who to attribute it to But it was something along
the lines of a person can be intelligent, worldly,
well -knowing, well -meaning, but people are
easily influenced, ravenous beasts. Yes. I don't
know if that's a Carlin quote. I know I'm paraphrasing
at that point. Yeah. I don't know if that's Carlin
or someone else, but it's essentially the same
line where, and I have first -person experience
of this, of just... Small talk turning a little
more serious with my co -workers and we're like
we're all tradies, right? So we're all CDL drivers
and All of them are Seemingly knowledgeable of
the fact that the working class of America are
underpaid underappreciated Union representation
and strength are both declining and they have
been for decades and we all have that same realization
We all come to the same conclusion, hey, something
must be done. All of them are Trump voters. Yeah.
All of them. It's like, how can you be both?
How can you be so deluded? Yeah. You know what
you stand for and yet you vote for the opposite.
For sure. Yep. Because people are simply stupid.
A person can be intelligent and many are. Yeah.
But people are fucking dumb. Oh, yeah. It's unbelievable.
Yeah, it is pretty unbelievable. And so, you
know, for people to speak up and do things like
that, that's great. And raise awareness and all
this other stuff. But it's something I've said
numerous times and I've said it to people directly.
I've said it on the show. What's next? Right.
Because you can sit there on a street corner
by the courthouse and be like, oh, president,
he's a bad man. Well, that's sure. Yep. OK. Most
of us with brains know and acknowledge that.
We know and acknowledge that. But now I... What's
next? OK. You're right. I agree. Now what? Right.
So there's got to be a next step. Applying public
pressure. People with money being able to utilize
that in such a way that is going to kind of offset
their efforts and... God who knows right because
what can you do? From from the small point from
the community perspective because that's about
what we have control over right is our local
network and It makes you wonder too like there
there are influencers on Twitter and blue sky
and other things like that where You didn't know
that this person or this company existed Five
or ten years ago, but then there are people like
Midas Touch and several of several like independent
Journalists. Yeah, who've just come out of the
woodwork and now they have what millions of followers
Yep, if you can do that locally Say in Northwest,
Indiana. Okay, we have this thing called the
Northwest Indiana Times. Yes now I would say
I'm not a fan of theirs. I think they're pretty
dogshit. Yeah You know, they're corporately owned
like the rest of the media is, and they paywall
all of their articles. Oh yeah. And they're generally
not socially aware of what's going on locally
or on a statewide issue scale. Yeah. But if you
can do that, if you can start a publication,
you can start... doing what we're doing, podcasting,
some sort of social presence that gets the word
out where maybe you start with a dozen followers.
Hey, that's great. Maybe those dozen people tell
their friends. Now you've got five dozen people.
Now you've got a couple hundred people. That's
the goal. You have to raise community awareness
to get to county scale awareness, to get to state
scale, to get to nationwide scale. That's about
all you can do because... clearly peaceful protesting,
it's great, it's not working. And on top of that,
Antifa, literally anti -fascism, just got declared
a terrorist organization, which by the way, it's
not an organization. No. It's literally just
a way to hold protesters, peaceful protesters,
behind bars, as potential terrorists. It is a
false designation. Is it really? Yeah. They literally
declared Antifa, which is not an organization,
by the way. Right. A terrorist organization.
I don't get it. No. Stay safe out there and just
make sure your social and constitutional rights
are being upheld. And if they're not, well, the
Second Amendment helps you there. Oh, for sure.
Yeah, no doubt. And yeah, that's, it's so...
It's so fascinating because I think about that.
I think about that constantly like what happens
if Valpo appears on their radar for whatever
reason. There have been sightings of ice in northwest
Indiana. Have they? Yeah. It's unbelievable.
So I know we had military helicopters in the
air a couple of days ago, I think. And you can
distinctly tell a military helicopter from a
private one, for sure. So when they were there
and... and they had their low flybys or whatever
the other day, right? There were two or three
military helicopters. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And just
doing their flybys. It's just like to me, as
you say, that's like Northwest Indiana. You saw
ICL. So what are you doing? Right. We're just
working. We're just, it's middle of the day.
We're working. Some people probably going to
lunch. Kids probably at class. What are you doing?
Right. And on top of all of the intricacies of
socioeconomic, just the mesh, the mesh of it
all, lies this really important fact that people
tend to forget looking at big pictures or even
small picture. We're all human beings. What the
fuck is an illegal alien? Why don't you tell
me? Yeah. Why don't you tell me, were white people
in the United States of America 300 years ago?
What the fuck is an illegal alien? I would love
to know. Yeah. I'd love to know. I'd love to
know how it's classified. Mm -hmm. Oh, we're
gonna deport all the bad people. Well, who are
the bad people? Who are the bad people? Oh, that's
right, they're running the deportations. Yes.
Yep. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah, if your skin is
brown, you're the bad guy. Right. You know, that's
just how it works. Yeah, it's shitty. It's shitty,
dude. Shithole country. It really is. But as
I said, stay vigilant, people. And if you see
things that look shady, take photos. Livestream.
Document your time. Livestream, yeah, for sure.
Just go ahead and do it. Throw up your phones,
take video, whatever you need to do. Know the
phone number of your own lawyer. That's important.
Know it by heart. Know it as if it was your father
or mother's phone number. Yes. I would agree.
You know, especially if you're going to be out
in public and with an increased chance that you
could be assaulted or that you could be arrested
or if shit deported, who knows? Right. You have
that person as your one phone call. Right. Don't
call mom, don't call dad, don't call your significant
other. As Aidan said, call your lawyer. Call
your lawyer. And if you don't have a lawyer,
know the number of a lawyer that will represent
you. That will represent you. Yep. And by the
way, it's your constitutional right. You get
as many phone calls as you want. That's right.
The one phone call thing is literally a movie
trope. Right. They made that up years ago. You
get as many calls as you want. Right. Yeah. It
is your constitutional right to legal representation.
Oh, man. It's insane we have to talk about this.
I know. It is insane we have to talk about this.
We could be joking about how bad the bears are.
Right, exactly. And that'd make me angry too,
but on a different level. It's a different kind
of angry. It's a different kind of angry. Right.
That's where you're angry for 10 minutes, you're
sitting to be doves, and you look to your friend
Jess and like... Can I have some cheese sticks,
please? Right, right. And then my day's gonna
be better. Yeah. It's like, aw shit, am I gonna
have to become an Eagles fan? I know, right?
Yeah. Well, the NFL keeps making me cheer for
them because they ended up playing Kansas City
again last week. I know, it's great. They got
the dub anyway. They got the dub anyway. I'm
like, well, here we go again. I might have to
be an Eagles fan. Holy shit. I know. What is
going on right now? Yeah. Your former guys -being
-dudes broadcast partner's probably spinning
right now. Yeah. He has to deal with Aaron Rodger.
Yes, he does. Yeah, Mr. Ayahuasca. Took mushrooms
in a cave. Okay, buddy. How about you go get
vaccinated? That guy. Oh, I can't. I can't with
him. Fucking chode. But anyways, probably an
excellent opportunity for us to take a couple
of minutes, take a break, play a little music,
and then we'll come back and we've got some Carpe
Diem ready for you. All right, we are back, ladies
and gentlemen, here on the Mark Mo Show. It's
time for Carpe Diem, as you beautiful people
send us your DMs, and we'll read them on the
air. And they can just be statements, they can
be in the form of a question. We might answer
it. Sure, we could be coerced to answer it. Oh,
for certain. I think the bigger issue is, what
are you offering in coercion? Think that's a
fair point. Yeah, we have previous episodes listing
in detail. Yeah, what could be the offer? Now
it's your time you can send us a DM, but the
DM better come with proper compensation That's
very then like a question or something. It's
very true. Yes. This is anyway our PayPal is
Venmo over here. Yeah, that's just kind of how
we roll Boy oh boy jokes aside. We're looking
for about two hundred thousand dollars really
you know about the price to pay small price to
pay We'll store your mother's for you. That's
on the house. That's on the house. Yeah could
be on your mother, too I'm sorry to all the all
the mothers out there that was insensitive. I
think your DMs are gonna pick up Hey, I think
they are my man Okay, maybe that was planned
Maybe that's planned. That's all I'm gonna say.
Sometimes something comes out of his mouth and
I go... I wonder how planned that was. That felt
kind of planned. That's all off the top, and
I immediately felt bad after saying it. Yeah.
I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry. That's all right.
You know, if we don't store your moms. The 6
% of our audience that are women are just like,
fuck these guys. Fuck these guys. These chos.
Or, or, or, or. Or there's like a half of a percent
of that 6 % that are like, hey. Where are you
storing me exactly? You never know. Anywho. You
never know. All right, I'll start out with some
DMs here. I have at BBC Queen. Hello, I'm from
England. I am not royalty. OK. I just like black
guys. Hey, don't we all? Is it true what they
say? I think I know the answer. You know what?
I think it is true what they say. I think so,
too. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, not that I would know
from firsthand, but if I did know from firsthand
and just accidentally admitted that on the podcast,
then I died. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah, I don't
know if you know by firsthand. I probably think
both of them. My man. Yeah, I mean, I'm just
saying. I'm just saying. There was studies, too.
Off air, we were just talking about our Reddit
feeds and how they kind of play into the opening
dialogue of this show. And that's kind of how
we receive our news these days through Reddit
or threads or blue sky, whatever else like that.
And there were actually studies that showed there's
a bigger correlation between nose and shoe size,
nose size and shoe size to the length of one's
genitals in men than there is with color of skin.
However, there are countries in the continent
of Africa where the measured average is like
1 .2x the average of the rest of the world. Really?
Yeah. So it's kind of fascinating. That is fascinating.
There are physical attributes that can be like
a giveaway. Mm -hmm, but then there are just
like anomalies like I think it's I don't know
if it's Nigeria or There's like some country
in Africa where like the average size is like
1 .2 X or like 1 .5 X The average of the rest
of the world hmm so To answer your question BBC
Queen you might be onto something Yeah, I think
I think you really it's like half. Yes half.
No Yeah, I would agree with that. Yeah, but in
your personal experience, I give you a cheers.
You seem to be having fun and I love that for
you. I love that for you as well. At DarkWitch53,
hello to my pagan family. My man! This is my
favorite time of year for many reasons. I love
watching horror movies in the fall. What elements
make up a good scary movie? That's that's a good
frickin question. Ms. Dark witch or mr. Dark
witch. Yeah Fellow I'll just call you fellow
Fantastic question. What elements make up a good
scary movie? I would say suspense plays a key
Element. Yes, because you can't in my opinion,
of course, this is all subjective But in my opinion,
you can't have a quality jump scare without suspense
Leading up to it, right? It's true. So it needs
to be suspenseful It can't be too predictable
because if you predict every jump scare, they're
not gonna get you Yeah, right. So it can't be
too pretty so unpredictable suspenseful I would
say good story driven, you know, I need to be
immersed immersion is important. Yeah I like
the slow build up And some people don't, some
people are like, oh, I was watching a movie,
it's so boring. I'm like, how far into it did
you get? I like 10 minutes. I'm like, bro, you
gotta let the sauce simmer. Right. You don't
read the first Lord of the Rings book and expect
the first eight pages to get you hype. It's like
you have to world build. You have to story build.
Yes. Calm down. Yeah, I agree. So I think that's
a good element. Just kind of... That's slow build.
Yeah. I think that's important because then that
affects you mentally and physically, especially
if you're watching it in a dark theater. Oh,
if you're tense? And you're tense and it's building
and it's building and all of a sudden, you know,
you're halfway or more through a movie and now
your anxiety is building and everything else.
You're like, what the hell? Right. And then that
is when... they utilize that jump scare, or they
just utilize something so frickin' scary or dark.
But yeah, I think that just makes up. Especially
in those moments that you were just referencing,
where, I mean, some movies will do the crazy
strings in the background, and of course sound
design is... as much of importance as the visual
design of the movie, but there are some times
in a horror movie where silence is as powerful.
The silence can be louder than any jump scare
sound effect. Yeah. And that's so important.
Like sound design is so imperative to horror
movies. Yeah. A good sound person on a movie,
that's key. Key, yes. For sure, I would agree
with that. But yeah, well, anyway, Dark Witch,
thank you for that. I wonder, because I've heard
mixed reviews. I think I've watched both of the
Smile movies. Ah. And those got mixed reviews.
I had mixed reviews watching them in my own brain,
where I'm like, oh, there were great moments,
but I'm wondering what Dark Witch thinks about
the Smile movies, because that's like, I would
almost compare the Smile movies to... the insidious
movies, or what was the one with the boogeyman?
Sinister? The Sinister movies? Because I loved
the Sinister movies when I was, what was I, a
teenager when they came out. And then I look
back at them now, I'm like, ah, and then I get
nitpicky, and it's like, have I just become too
much of a movie critic to enjoy it? Or am I just
more knowledgeable about the intricacies? I don't
know. I think two things can be true at the same
time. Fair point. I think that some things do
get kind of formulaic. You just kind of expect
it and then it happens. And you're not as jump
-scary about it or you're not as spooked by it.
Because you're like, oh, yeah, I didn't see that
coming at all, right? But you know, they're they're
just kind of going by the playbook. I Like it
when they don't I would agree because then it's
you just don't know what what to expect, right?
There was actually a great horror game. I I watched
I didn't play it and It's one of those games
where you play it once and you get the story.
So unfortunately, I won't be able to play it
but it's this game called blood money and it's
Seemingly innocent game. It's all pastel colors
and the main characters this real jovial kind
of guy Yeah, and the story is super simple and
then the more you play it It's a it's super simplistic
gameplay too, but the more you play it the more
you're like, holy Fuck. And it stays pastel colors,
and you hear this jovial elevator music in your
ears, and just the most heinous shit is going
on. It's like, oh my god. And it turns out the
protagonist is the bad guy. You are the bad guy.
Oh god. And it's like, oh my god. It's like,
you have to subvert expectations. Yes. It's so
good. I love that. Yeah. I love that. Yeah, so
anyway. I guess those are some of the elements
make up a good scary movie for us At Harry no
style. Oh, no Sup guys, I'm not a super rich
dude But my friends tell me I need to upgrade
my wardrobe if I want to get dates are people
really that shallow Yes, and no, I would say
people can be that shallow. Mm -hmm but I mean
if you're wearing sweats and you know, a ratty
-ass t -shirt every day, they could be an issue.
Could be, yeah. I don't want to say the common
term of, like, dress for the job you want, but,
you know, if you just get, like, if you get a
flannel and a pair of jeans, Fall and Spring,
boom, checked off the list. Yep. You know, you
get some nice slacks, a fancy, fun hoodie. Boom,
winter, checked off the list. Right. You know,
you get some cool shorts and like a new tank.
Boom, summer, checked off the list. Off the list.
And you know what? If you do it while thrifting,
you're not going to spend more than a hundred
bones. Nah, you won't. Yeah, it's true. So I
would say people can be shallow, but also take
like three minutes in front of a mirror. Right.
Just take three minutes. Yeah, that's it. It
would be my advice. I don't know if you have
a different aspect. I mean you you have more
You have more of a social life than I do. So
you probably have more insight on this one to
be honest for Mr. Harry. No style. I I do okay.
I I'm not gonna go into a lot of details. I quite
frankly I have more friends that are women than
men But that's been historic. That goes back
to freaking college. And I don't know if growing
up with three sisters or having female friends
growing up on the block or whatever, I just became
comfortable in the company of women. Sure. In
how they communicate and things that they find
fun and stuff like that. I don't know. I don't
have the answers to that. But all I can say is
that most of my friends are one. And so as it
pertains to kind of like the date scene or whatever,
there are shirts that I own that are a little
more dressy. And like, if I go out, I'm probably
gonna wear a button down shirt. Yeah. You know?
Yeah. As to say, I'm not gonna wear a, you know,
ratty ass t -shirt and, you know, whatever. Yeah.
But you can bet your ass, like if I know I'm
going out. I'll at least get that button down
on, you know, get smelly juice on there. Right.
Do it up a little bit. As Soulja Boy once said,
turn the swag on. Turn that swag on. Turn that
swag on. And, you know, here's the thing. Here's
the thing. You can keep me rolling on this. Here's
the thing, though. Please do. And this is my
TED Talk. So all I'm going to say. I was coaching
a friend the other night and he's younger than
me and he's interested in someone. So all I say
to you young bucks out there, not so much the
Millennials, probably more the Gen Zers at this
point, All I say is that you just got to be yourself.
Right. Because it's so easy in a world of social
media where you're behind a screen to not be
yourself or to not even really honestly know
who you are. So when you get in social circles
and you are actually in front of someone that
you are interested in, you don't know how to
communicate with them. Sure. Because it's just
easier to pick up your phone. Right. And you
have to figure that shit out. You got to figure
out who you are. and things you're comfortable
with and things you really enjoy out in the real
world. I'm not talking about things you enjoy
on your phone. We all know what you enjoy on
your phone. You're sitting in front of a good
looking guy or a beautiful woman. Talk. Right.
You know, figure out, number one, who the hell
you are. And then just be able to just honestly
talk with that person and sit there and talk
for 10, 15, 20 minutes. And if you find that
now the conversation is 30 minutes long, now
the conversation is longer. Right. Holy shit.
Think I kind of dig this person. We have a lot
in common. Then you just take the next step,
right? but you just you have to figure out who
the hell you are you've got to put the phone
down for two seconds and Work work on those social
skills might be yes work on you cannot be dredged
down by imposter syndrome and cyber vulcanization
You got to just get out there and talk about
more than just the weather or how the cubbies
are doing, you know sure Yeah, you have to. And
like I said, you don't have to sit there and
go on Amazon and buy all these clothes and do
all this shit. It's like, look, if you're taking
your significant other out and you're going to
a nice sit down restaurant, you're going somewhere
nice, yeah, dress it up, man. Look the part.
and do you do you do you but all I'm saying is
like if you're just going to the bar if you're
just going to hang out at the park if you're
if you're just kind of in that social circle
It's just like a pair of blue jeans, a decent
shirt. Right. You don't have to knock it out
of the fucking park. Right. Every time. Because
I have friends, I know dudes, and they dress
real well, and you know what? They're single
as fuck. Right. So just because you dress up
or you look good doesn't mean anything, because
at some point you're going to open your mouth,
you sound like a dumbass. You're out of the game.
Right. You're out of the game. Right. So number
one, don't be a schmuck. Number two, be yourself.
Number three, you don't have to kill it. You
don't have to buy hundreds of dollars worth of,
like, wardrobe and nice pants and shirts and
all that kind of shit. It's just, like, just
be you. Be interesting. Be fun. Right. When we
say turn your swag on, we're talking about personality.
Yep. And looking presentable is, like, a slightly
distant second. Right. Correct. Because it is,
in a way, part of it, but it's a smaller part.
Right. Because if you go out looking like shit,
people are gonna assume, ah, this man's probably
rough. Yeah. You know, but I don't... You know,
I don't spend a shit ton on clothes. I have a
couple of nice pair of jeans. And as I said,
it's like if I'm going out, you know, I'll put
a button down shirt on. But if I'm just sitting
around the house, I'll just throw a t -shirt
on or a hoodie or whatever. It's not a big deal.
But it's just you got to have, you got to have
game. Right. You have to have some sort of game.
And if you don't know, if you're so unaware.
that you're like, I have no idea if I sound like
an asshole or what. I coach people. Come see
me at the bar. Right. Right. Like, hey, if you're
in town, I am a resource. Fuck the library. You
can just come right up to me. Right. And if you
are just like so unsure about the path of what
you're doing or who you're about to do it with,
come see a boy and Mr. Advice. Mr. Advice. And
the first time is free. Second time cost you
a beer. So just keep that in mind. But at any
the first time also cost you a beer, but you'll
be so inclined to buy one. It's almost free.
It's almost free. Yeah. That's, that's well said.
Key point. Key point. Key point. So these tendrils
are going out to Ireland, Curaçao, Russia. Indeed.
Any of our listeners out there, you want advice?
It's just a quick trip to Northwest Indiana.
That's it. That's it. That's it. Who knows? Harry
Nostyle is gonna really get us. Granted. Visiting
the United States of America at this time is
a bad idea. It's a bad idea. Just be cautious.
Maybe Zoom call. Zoom call might be good. Maybe
meditate. Maybe you'll get on a certain alpha
plane with us. Astral projection. Right. Just
try something else for a while. Zoom call is
on you. Zoom call is definitely on you. It is
fall and the Cubs have clinched a playoff spot.
My man. The Sox will lose more than a hundred
games again. Oh, yeah. And finish with the second
worst record. Life is losing its luster. It is
the middle of the day and it is dark. So very
dark. Oh, man. Jerry. Gerald. Gerald. My man.
Call you Jer for short. Call him Jar. That's
rough, man. That is rough. But you know what?
Second worst. Second worst, right. Which is an
improvement over last year. Okay, we take the
small wins. Oh, yeah. We take the small wins.
You're not as bad as last year, which means you're
going up. You're going up. You're going up, Jerry.
Maybe by next year you'll only be fourth worst.
Third or fourth worst, right. You just gotta
keep moving. It could be exponential. It could
be. So then it'll be fourth worst, then eighth
worst, then sixteenth worst? And before you know
it, in 2048. Yeah, exactly. You could be leading
the league. You could be leading the league.
It's unlikely because the owner of the Sox and
the Bulls, which is the same people, they're
dog shit. Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure. My last one
comes from... For sure my last one comes from
at stoner Stanley 420 our guy our guy Momo and
Alan What are the days today? what is with the
ice guys and Why aren't they melting? Oh, no?
They took my friends Paul Bo and coke Coconut,
I think he probably met Pablo? Oh, Palbo. I don't
know who Palbo is. Palbo. Palbo and coconuts.
They did not do any of the things. Oh, no. And
coconut isn't even from the border towns. He
is an Italy guy. Oh, no. Sad. Stan, I'm sure
he is sad. That's terrible news. Isn't that terrible?
Oh, Stan. Why is that? Why is the guy from Italy
coconuts? I have questions. Paul Bell, our main
boys, one love to Paul Ball out there. Right.
I think he's having a time. He's having a bad
time. Yeah. I mean, the ice guys might be snowflakes,
but unfortunately they don't melt unless you're
in Chicago and you have a salt truck. That's
true. So, just thoughts, just thoughts. Just
thoughts. You know, we're like manifesting more
salt trucks for the nation. Yes, we are. Almost
definitely. That's why they left Chicago alone
and they went down to Memphis because, I don't
think they have salt trucks in Memphis. Right,
right. Shit, we'll send them. We'll send, we'll
let you borrow a couple. Hey, why not? They got
like... Barbecue and shit down there. Oh, yeah,
even trade. Yeah, right. It's definitely good
What what DMS do you have sir? I got a fun one
here. Okay for our boy pants McGee Pants if you
got offered to play one single -player game for
four hours a day Making 30k a year doing it.
What would you pick? GTA 5 that's a good one.
That's a good one GTA 5 because It's one of the
few games that you can just free play on. And
it's replayability is good, too. It's replayability
is good. The story. You can do missions, you
know, so you can get on, and then there's the
little question marks or whatever, and then you
pull up, and it's like they'll ask you questions
or whatever. Right. The Lester assassinations.
Exactly. Yeah. You know, you go, and then there's
that chick like, oh, help me, and the dude pulls
out a gun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you can continue
to do those things, and they're kind of fun.
But, I mean, you could just have fun on your
own. You can... grew with the cops, trick out
some cars. I mean, you can do all sorts of stuff.
So I think I could easily play that game. Yeah.
And if you're talking four hours a day, you can
still hold a full -time job. Yep. Right? Because
most of us are on our screens for four to six
hours a day anyway. Anyway, yep. And if you're
making 30k a year just idly playing... Just playing
a game? Like, why not at that point? I would,
yeah. That's a good pick. My first thought went
to Minecraft. because there is we've done that
yes we have and there is so much to do in minecraft
especially with with recent updates over the
last decade or so where on on like newer consoles
you know ps5 pc xbox series the map you play
on is is infinite Wow. Well, within reason. So
then it essentially goes like 300 ,000 blocks
this way, 300 ,000 blocks this way. But are you
really going to run 300 ,000 blocks? Like, be
real. No. So it's infinite within what a human
would necessarily do within the game. So that's
where my first thought was. GTA V is a great
pick. And honestly, I can sink a lot of hours
into like Medan 15 or like other sports games
like that. But eventually, you can only make
so many teams or play as so many players. Yep,
that's true. There's so much to do in Minecraft.
GTA V too, where like those RPG style games,
you can just play, you can make your own game
modes. You can play your own games with yourself
of like, okay, how can I defeat the cops with
a stun gun? You know? So my first thought is
Minecraft, but GTA V is a good pick. Got a DM
here from Evil Genie. Back at it again, really.
I grant you the ability to speak to any type
of animal for 48 hours. Which animal and why?
Boy, that's a good question. I mean, my first
thoughts are like cats or dogs. Yeah. Because
those are the most common house pets. So I just
want to go up to my cats and be like, hey. Why
do you why do you throw up on the floor instead
of like in the litter box where you piss and
shit? I don't know If we have to get sick We're
gonna do that in the same place. We piss and
shit. It's it's got modern plumbing Which you
know you guys could also use but don't so like
why did why why aren't we on the same page? Yeah,
right. No, I I think I would pick cats because
In my household we have three cats and they all
have their own issues. One likes pissing everywhere.
One doesn't know where to shit. The other one
just gets sick on the floor. Oh God. Usually
picking the carpets. And it's like, I would love
to ask them. I'm like, listen, you've got like,
there's three of you in this house. It's not
even a thousand square feet and we have like
seven litter boxes. Wow. There's plenty of room.
What's going on? I think I would pick cats. Because
cats are such curious creatures anyway. And I
would just be like, listen, what the fuck are
we doing? Yeah, I would probably agree with you.
Yeah. Yeah, definitely on the cat one for sure.
Yeah, love to talk to cats. Just be like, what
the fuck? Come on, dude. Because I firmly believe,
too, and this is a... Think it's off -topic.
It's just it's it's a different view of a cat
and I think cats just see and experience shit
We don't like a cat all like staring out of the
wall a cat will stare a wall or like down a hallway
And you're just like why are you looking at dude?
And then they'll kind of do that And they they
shoot they're gone. You're just like what what
should I follow it right what did the wall do
to you what yeah I need to know what you see
bro something is going on like I would love to
just hear the thought process of the cat during
that just like man this behemoth of a straight
thing right in front of me yeah it's so tall
Fuck you! Like, is it that simple, or are they
literally like, holy fuck, there's a demon right
here. That is crazy. Yeah, right, exactly. The
person who feeds me doesn't even know. Yeah.
And then with the dumb humans, once again, where
we're just like, yo, why is a cat just, like,
sleeping all day? Well, cat's been through it.
Right? Cat's seen some shit. Right. I mean, you
know. There's a demon, you know, ball is unfurling
in front of the cat, you know, with all his demonry,
and the cat freaks out, and you're sitting there
like... The cat is seeing biblical angels. Exactly.
Do not be alarmed. It's like, holy fuck! Yeah,
the cat's seeing some shit, so... Cut the cat.
Cut the cat a break. Little slack. Final DM I
got was from CrippyGru, our main man, checking
in almost every week recently. What's a skill...
Anyone can learn in an hour that could help them
forever I think the first thing that comes to
mind is is computer proficiency Because there's
a lot you can do with a computer even for free
which we talked about last week Yeah with a lot
of open source software and everything I mentioned
in that episode OBS DaVinci Resolve, Krita was
one I didn't mention, but it's an open source
Photoshop alternative. There are so many computer
programs you can get open source for free that
literally take an hour to learn and will change
how you can do the internet. There are a lot
of Google applications, not that I really fuck
with Google because I think they're a dog shit
corporation, but... the amount of shit they offer
you for free is pretty nice. I mean, it's hard
to turn up Google Drive and Google Docs and everything
like that. So just taking an hour to learn a
program, especially in this technological age,
is so important because if someone is like, ah
shit, I've got this high -res image and I just
don't know how to do X, Y, and Z. And if you've
taken 60 hours to just know how to do that, you
can just be like, oh yeah, I got you. Like, there's
so much you can do with a computer, and it's
your hardware. Like, there's so much in this
fucking godforsaken capitalistic hellscape that
is a subscription service. But you know what?
You own your PC. Yeah. You know? Even phones
are goddamn subscription services these days.
They sure are. But you own your PC. And if you
know how to use it properly and know everything
that it can do, especially with programs that
literally just takes an hour to learn, it's so
important. And I would say that's my tip for
that. That's my hot tip, Mr. Crip. Mr. Crippy
Gru. It's a good tip. Learn your programs, man.
Learn your programs. Open source is a godsend.
Humans helping humans. That's good. Hell yeah.
That's good. Yeah, I, boy, I don't have much
to add to that one. That is, it's dead on. Yeah.
For sure. You'll also learn how to cross your
eyes in like an hour's time. And they'll like
freak people out if you ever wanted to. Yeah,
you know, I've heard you can do like the, what
was the dude's name from the newer movie, It,
The Clown? Oh, Skarsgard. Yeah, Skarsgard, doing
the eyeballs out from each other. Yeah. Like
most people can cross their eyes in, but doing
the eyeballs out is apparently easy to learn,
too. Oh, wow. And if you can do that, bro, you'll
be freaking people out. You'll be the hot date
on Halloween, bro. You will. For sure. You will
be it. If you can start moving your eyes independently.
Yeah. That's some kooky stuff. Yeah. Apparently,
you're supposed to be able to learn it in under
an hour. Oh, yeah. OK. Yeah, the only thing I
could think of maybe would be hypnosis because
then I would just pull like a just like I literally
pocket watch I would be pulling Obi -Wan Kenobi's
all day long man. I would just like you will
give me your wallet now Yeah, exactly. You know
you just walk into the bank pleasure. Here's
my wallet You know you walk up to the bank yet
the tally be like And you will give me all the
twinkies you have. My withdraw slip says $24,
but you think it says $2 ,400. Hey -o. My man.
Yeah, other than that, I don't know. I mean,
yeah, I kind of like what you were saying. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. And you're an IT guy, so you know
1 ,000 things anyway. Yep. It took me a lot longer
than just a few hours. probably took thousands
of hours. Yeah, but you have much more in -depth
knowledge than me fiddling around with my little
programs. I tell ya, the fiddling got me to learn
a lot of this shit. Fiddling is fun though. Yeah,
oh for sure. Learn how to fiddle. Learn how to
fiddle. You'd be killer at fiddle battling the
devil I've heard from that one song. I don't
even know what it's called. That song, yeah.
Devil went down to Georgia. Yes, then he had
himself a time or whatever It's a friend of mine
had himself time. He was your friend to devil
in disguise cool in my skies No one sampled that.
We've already trademarked it. Right, exactly.
I think we're safe on that one. I can't wait.
Like, if someone could, like, tear that apart
and, like, perfectly align it to the music. I
need a live remix. Please. Anybody. Anybody.
DMS. Throw that shit at us. Oh, that'd be amazing.
Yeah, we can just throw you nonsense songs each
and every week right here on the Mark Fo Show
podcast. Had himself a time. Had himself a time.
The devil. He's a friend of mine. Your welcome
world. Oh, man. You are welcome. At any rate,
by the way, I was off shoot before we get to
the next thing, but whatever, we do this on the
show all the time. So I'm at the bar the other
night and there's this kid who does karaoke and
he's a rapper. His name's Jacob. It's my boy
Jacob. My boy Jacob. Jacob is, the kid's a star
ready to be made. I'm not like, I don't say that
shit lightly. I really feel it. Like he gets
up there. Number one, he has the confidence and
the courage to do it. Number two, does not miss
a word, does not miss a beat. He's on tone. I
mean, the kid frickin' has it. Right. Absolutely
has it. So. Yeah, anyway, we're out at the bar,
and this kid's got it. And just trying to give
him that life advice. Right. That life advice.
We were talking about earlier. And we're just
talking. And so he starts, as they do in the
rap world, starts freestyling. My man. And so
he didn't know. I can do that a little bit, too.
Oh, yeah. So I freestyled back at him off what
he freestyled of me, and it fucked him up. It's
like, oh, shit. He was not expecting that at
all. And I threw it at him, and he was just like,
all right. My man. He's like, OK, all right.
Well, he knows how to spit. I can do it, too.
I can do it, too. I mean, I'm more on the, you
know. Ice Cube, LL Cool J. I can't do Kendrick
Justice. Not on that New Age shit. Not on that
New Age shit. No, definitely not. I'm better
at writing lyrics than coming up with them off
the top. I've taken the lyrics I've written akin
to more of like slam poetry to a beat than like
rap. Eventually my album will drop. And for anyone
that didn't know, yes, I compose my own tracks
and I write my own lyrics and eventually will
drop them. It's taking that aforementioned confidence
that our boy Jacob has. I do not. But it's more
akin to writing poetry that rhymes to a beat
than it is to having the skill of freestyling.
Which, by the way, is a fantastic skill. That
is really impressive. Otis to have to not only
have a narrative in your brain, but also be like,
okay like Doing a B rhymes doing a a a B rhymes.
Yeah a a B a C rhymes anything like that. It's
like wow, that's kind of cool Mm -hmm. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it's it really is it's a it's a tremendous
skill and And his name's Jacob Mendez, by the
way. Our boy Jacob Mendez. Yep. He's got a couple
of originals out there. And you can check him
out on the YouTubes. On the YouTubes. Yeah, for
sure. Before we take a break, we got some other
foods. Let's freaking go. OK. This usually really
disgusting foods from all over the world. And
Aidan finds them and shares them with us each
and every week. Lately, he's been kind of going
country by country country by country. So we
still doing that. Oh, yeah. All right. Oh, yeah
I stayed in Europe starting to Brazil. Yeah,
I went to Finland went to their neighbor. Ah
Went to their neighbor Kenya. You know what?
That's really cool. That's something Kevin would
say that's really close. That's why I'm great
I'm so awesome at it. It's like, ah, shit, I
think this flag might be England. Oh, it's Nigeria.
It's Nigeria. Oh, yeah. Yeah. All the people
walking around and it looks like Sub -Saharan
Africa. Yep, that should have been a clue. Canada?
Canada, yes. Canada? Right near Toronto. I went
to Sweden. Oh, Sweden. Now, Sweden's got some
terrible food. Yeah, I think the most known Swedish
food on the internet would be this lovely thing
called sir strumming. Oh No now we've talked
about sir strumming twice on The Mark Mo show
radio show correct. We have not talked about
sir strumming on the mark mo show podcast That
is also correct now. I'm gonna keep the people
waiting. Oh You tease I didn't even bring up
sir strumming today. We're starting off with
blood polter Blood blood who's what's the blood
pulter? Okay, it is a pancake. Oh It is a blood
pancake So the Swedes Take pancakes they just
put blood in it so blood pancakes quote unquote
blood pancakes are enjoyed throughout Sweden
Finland and Norway so we get a three for one
Yeah, they are prepared with regular can't pancake
batter which is then quote elevated with the
addition of animal blood. Whether they are formed
as the thinner like crepe -like pancakes or smaller
chewier types, the pancakes will always develop
a typical dark brown hue. I don't know. Yeah,
like I'm a fan of potato pancakes. That's like
you can do pancakes savory or sweet, but you
start introducing animal blood into my pancake
batter. Yeah, I have issue with that. Oh, I take
issue with that. The next one I've got is...
God, I need to pronounce this right. Calvisilta.
Calvisilta. Oh, boy. Which is jellied veal. Of
course. Or calvisilta in Swedish. I'm sorry,
any Swedes out there are probably like, yeah,
you're mispronouncing that, and I'm sorry. It's
a simple meat dish made with minced veal. that
is simmered in meat stock along with its gelatin
and seasonings, of course. The jelly veal is
then placed in a mold and cooled before serving.
Okay. That's the whole dish. Oh, that's it. It's
just jelly veal. No accoutrement. No sides. It's
just gelatin and meat. Cold. The third and final
one. have from Sweden is a flask or Okay flash
garden flash I Think I think they actually named
this this dish after him to flash Gourve is one
of Sweden's traditional raw sausages Raw sausage
you heard that right as its name suggests this
type of sausage is mainly composed of pork meat
and fat which is seasoned and then placed in
a natural or artificial encasing. Okay. And for
anyone that didn't hear that, that is raw pork.
Raw pork. Blech. If anyone knows anything about
raw pork, it's that parasites love raw pork.
As Vassay, the one thing I know about raw pork
is don't. Don't. Yeah, don't. The one thing we
know about raw pork is don't. Don't. So, yeah.
If you're going to Sweden, I would just say stick
to... The blood bolter? Anything except for what
I just mentioned. Oh, God. That's nasty. Yeah.
That fermented herring, which will go unnamed.
Yeah, that one is special. God bless Sweden.
I know, right? They just keep delivering. They
just know how to do it. Oh, for sure. They just
get it. They don't get taste buds, clearly, but
they just get it. Wow, I just found a picture
of those blood pancakes. Those are fucking awful.
Yeah, Mark Mo did some live research while I
was monologuing. And yeah, just saw that blood
pancake for the first time, hey? Oh, wow. Pretty
beautiful, right? It looks like you were baking
a sugar cookie at 400 and you left it in the
oven for three days. For like hours, yeah. Yeah,
that's exactly how it looks. It's terrible. It
looks like someone fried bologna for like...
30 minutes. Right. With no butter. Right. It's
like, why did you leave that in there for so
long? Oh, no, it's meant to look like that. We
put pig's blood in it. Oh, cool. Awesome. Oh,
cool. I'll have some. I'll go to the fucking
Maccas for breakfast. Thanks. Yeah, exactly.
Exactly. I'm going to go look for my friend,
Coconuts. Bye. Right. Where's Paul Bo? Where's
Paul? He knows to get the... He knows what's
up. He gets some munchies too. I'm sure he does.
Oh, I hope Paulo is okay. Our man. Before we
get to the break, I do something. A little quick,
but it's fun. It's Fry Guy Fry Review. Because
I love fries. You're the fry guy. I'm the fry
guy. So I try different fries. These fries aren't
around a lot. Like they are and then they're
not. And then they are and then they're not.
It's highly annoying. I almost felt like grading
it down just because of that. And you know what
you can. You know why? you know why the people
have been asking you know why because you're
the fucking fry guy because i'm the fry guy that's
right stop full stop so fry guy tries taco bell
fries now i was incredibly skeptical when they
first came to be what probably a couple years
ago whatever right and i could never get to one
that had them oh we don't have We don't have
them. Oh, can I have a large one? Oh, no, you
can't. You're rationing these puppies. You're
rationing these and they're like, yeah, we are.
Pretty much, yeah. Pretty much. It'll cost you
$14. We will give you two fries. That's about
it. That's about it. Oh, thanks. Yeah, thank
you very much. They're surprisingly good. Like
the fry itself stands as a good fry, and then
they put whatever seasonings they put on there,
and it's solid. They get the crispy crust too.
It's not, I don't know if it's cornmeal or potato
starch, there's some sort of crust they put on
it. Yeah, and it's good, and so I tried that,
and then the cherry on the top, as it were, This
is a little cup of nacho cheese that you get
with it. Little zesty. Because with the spices
that they put on the fry, plus the cheese, it's
great. It is wonderful. It is really good. It's
like this is definitely a dark horse in the fry
game without a question. And I have to grate
it properly. And it's, you know, some people
might think it's a little bit high, but I'm giving
Taco Bell's fry, which was hot, it was tasty.
Great seasonings. I give it an A4. A4 is solid.
It's a solid score and deserving. It is deserving.
I would say that's a fair point. I'm not the
fry guy. So take this with a grain of salt or
no salt if you're brewing a beef. But I would
rank them higher than that. Here's the thing.
They do ration them. Yeah. It's like three and
a half dollars for a large fry, which at any
other fast food place is the same size as a small
fry. On top of that, it's not around all the
time for some reason. So then you have a sense
of urgency. Oh, they have the fries back. I have
to go there now. No, it's just a marketing ploy.
If they had them all the time, you would simply
go there with the regular frequency you would
have any other time. It's a marketing ploy. So
I would have docked them down myself. I probably
would have brought them down from like an 8 .9
to an 8 .4, honestly. Oh yeah, no, no. Your score
is completely fair in my book. I appreciate that.
Yeah. I appreciate that. That's the Fry Guy review.
Let's take a little bit of a break. We come back.
You just made the list. All right, we are back
everybody and it is time for our feature segment
You just made the list here on the mark mo show
podcast. I am mark Maloney your host alongside
Aidan Maloney co -host and producer and This
is it man. You just made the list top ten list
ten through two our big number one reveal and
Let's see, consult the rule book. The rule book?
Yeah, you didn't know. I didn't know. Now you
do. It's been three seasons. I still don't know.
Here we go. My brain forgets every time just
for the suspense. Well, good on you. Yeah, the
only rule is there are no rules. Oh, thank God.
Yeah. Don't have us throwing you a curveball
there. It's trouble with the curve. No, it's...
No rules. No rules. Ten through two? Free and
clear. My man. So today, and we've kind of been
doing this regularly throughout season three,
very music based. You just made the list. We
like music. We really hadn't incorporated music
a whole lot into the show. I think this is a
good spot to do that. Music is the language of
humanity. It really is. It goes beyond language.
Yeah, and I'll tell you, if you can sing a song...
You should do that. Go ahead. You should do that.
You've done it too. Time or two? You freestyled
in a bar. I did. In front of an actual rapper.
Yeah. And he didn't punch me, so I was like,
all right. He's like, oh, OK. Yeah. That was
that. My man. When you hear that back from a
rapper, that's a good sign. My man. It's a good
sign. I'm not trying to rap battle, but hear
this. I'm not trying to rap battle. And I didn't.
All I did was pick up what he dropped, and I
continued it. Right. That was good. This has
nothing to do with singing your own songs or
getting into rap house. This actually had Jacob
Mendes, check him out. So what it has to do with
is bass players, guys that drop that beat, guys
that set that tempo for every song. The bass.
The bass. Slappin' the bass. Yeah. By the way,
that's a callback. I don't know if anyone knows
that. That's like an AK -209 callback from seasons
and seasons ago. where I recounted the story
of, I think it was prom night, like my freshman
year playing high school baseball, and it was
like three dudes, one of them driving the car,
my other boy in the front seat, I was in the
back seat, and we had these three girls with
us, and we were just listening to these bobby
kind of tracks, and one of them, I don't know
if they got into the fruit punch that was spiked
with something or what, A little bit off. A little
bit off. And just out of nowhere. Like pretty
quiet the whole ride. Okay. And we're just all
small chatting and whatever. And she just like
turns. She turns to the driver. She's like, turn
up the bass! Like in earnest. In earnest. Turn
up the bass. And we just all start dying. It's
like, oh no. First of all, are you okay? Secondly,
it's pronounced bass. It's pronounced bass. It's
like I know English is a hard language, but please.
I mean, bass is a word, but we're not dealing
in fish right now. It's a fish. Definitely not
dealing in fish. No, these are bassists, not
bassists. Slapping the bass. Oh, God. That's
crazy. Well, we're not slapping any basses or
basses or anything. Unfortunately. Well, we are
going to list our top 10. And Aidan, what do
you got? I have a long honorable mentions list.
Oh, my guy. Because we were talking a bit off
air on how I kind of formulated this list of
like those who influenced current bassists versus
like the current bassists that are more regularly
listened to. So I did both. So my honorable mentions
list. is thus forth. Robert DeLeo, Cliff Burton,
Justin Chancellor, Charles Mingus, Bootsy Collins,
Larry Graham, Ron Carter, Willie Dixon, Robbie
Shakespeare, Paul McCartney. Wow. That's the
honorable mentions list. Holy shit. Ten through
two. I'll save my number one. Okay. Number ten,
Ian Hill. Okay. My man. Number nine, Michael
Balzari. Alrighty. Also known as Flea, I believe.
As Flea. Mr. Flea. Number eight, I've got Jack
Bruce. Number seven, wouldn't be a list without
Geddy Lee, for sure. Geddy. Super talented, Geddy
Lee. Number six, I've got John N. Twissell. Not
sure if I'm pronouncing that right. That is correct.
Here's our boy, for sure. Who are you? That's
all you get. That's all you get. Content ID.
Number five, Tim Comerford. Our lad. Yeah, good
old Tim. Good old Rage Against the Machine. Yup.
Number four, Carol K. Oh, okay. Yeah, there's
a reference for you. There's an influential reference
for you. Number three, I had James Jamerson.
Number two, Steve Harris. Steve Harris. Oh yeah.
Gallup, baby. Oh yeah. Love it. Going way back.
I just did my top ten, ten through two. I try
really hard because I find myself... It's easy
to do an honorable mentions list like I did.
Oh man. Yeah, I could have very easily gone down
that rabbit hole. All right, here we go. Number
ten, Cliff Burton. Oh yeah. Number nine, Bootsy
Collins. Number eight, John Paul Jones. Oh yeah.
There you go. Yep. There you go. Number seven,
Geezer Butler. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. Charles
Mingus. And he could have been higher. Oh, sure.
I'm just not a huge jazz guy. Not that I dislike
jazz. I just don't. It's just a lot further down
my genre list. And in music matches mood and
moments. Sure. Yeah. Typically jazz and I don't.
Intersect often. Yeah, but it doesn't mean I
don't appreciate it. Like right here it right
Mingus is brilliant. He's an innovator composer
He plays that cello classically trained. Yeah,
he's yeah Getty Lee number five. Oh, yeah fun
fact when he was young His Hungarian grandmother
could not pronounce Gary really Yes, oh Gary
get the get the Kabir. Yeah, he's Gary Lee. That's
great. Fun story. No kidding fun fact the more,
you know Would have been a little weird been
like Oh bassist Gary Lee Gary Lee Gary Lee. Yeah
They're just like cool. It's it's uh, it's it's
Gary Gary our boy Gary There you go. Number four,
Paul McCartney. They go blisters on me fingers.
Number three, John Twissell for The Who. And
then number two, matched year number two, Steve
Harris. My guy. Our guy. The soul of Iron Maiden.
He's a genius musician, too. He's great. Yeah,
and he really drives most of those albums. Yep,
and you know, it's like Adrian Smith and Dickinson
they they obviously have their their two cents
in on everything but Yeah, Harris Harris drives
that bad. Yeah Alright number one. I'm very curious
to see if we have the same person. My number
one was on your list Oh, I believe a little bit
further down. I had John Paul Jones. Did you?
I love that as my number one John Paul Jones
Yeah, that's great. Dude's a legend in my eyes
and I'm afraid that your number one may have
slipped my mind and I'm a little scared now.
I'm a little scared now. You should be. I put
John Paul Jones number one and it wasn't yours
and I'm like, oh no. That's okay. This is all
subjective, right? It is true. It is true. I
love John Paul Jones. I love Led Zeppelin. He's
great without question. Yeah. But for me... Number
one with a bullet is Les Claypool of Primus.
Oh, sure. He's fantastic. Shit, that's a good
call. He's great. As a matter of fact, another
fun story. Metallica's Cliff Burton dies. Rains
in rough shape and they're drinking and they're
fighting and you know that and if you notice
the first album They do with their bass player
who ended up being Jason Neustad They turned
the bass so far down. Yeah, because they were
like F you we don't need no bass player, whatever
But so they're having tryouts like the nev you'll
never be him type attitude. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh,
yeah That must have been a rough room to be in
But so they're having the trouts. So Les Claypool
walks in, famously, of Primus. Right. And so
they're having the trouts. They come in. And
the other three guys are sitting there. And he
just goes, bam, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
boom, boom, boom. Yeah. And he's like doing this
thing. And they're like, that's a no. um you're
you're too good for our band right and i thought
that's hilarious but in the same sense just realizing
the greatness that was in front of that right
uh and and it's like here's the thing it's like
i don't like a lot of primus music it's very
funky and um they use a lot of very odd time
changes and things in their music like it's just
very different sure different than anything else
so i do appreciate different but Like the one
thing I often remember is that if you are a South
Park fan Primus does the opener. Oh Yeah, whoa
going down South Park on I have myself. That's
crazy. You hear all that bass. Yeah, Tim Wow,
that's nuts. Yeah, that's nuts Your musical lesson
with professor right? Yeah, man my not not to
like Not to overreach but when you were talking
about different time signatures the the the two
fun facts I've done a little bit of study into
music theory and time signatures and everything
like that and the two fun facts that Immediately
came to mind when you mentioned their unique
time signatures and switches like that is The
fact that hey, yeah by outcast. Oh sure is in
11 for it's counted in 11 for or 20 to 8 It's
insane. If you ever listen to it, you can literally
count it. It's one two three four One two three
four one two three four one two one two three
four one two three four So it's six bars of four.
Yeah, but the fourth bar only has to be only
has two beats Yeah, that's crazy and white room
by the band cream the interludes and Intro are
in the time signature of five four You can count
them. It's like dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun
-dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun
-dun -dun -dun -d what it is. Now you said this
is Dave Brubeck? Dave Brubeck. It's the song
called Take Five by Dave Brubeck. Okay. It's
entirely in 5 -4. Uh -huh. But the way it's composed
is so natural, where the off -beats complement
the odd time signature, where you can listen
to it and be like, oh, yeah, this is catchy,
this makes sense to my ears and brain. Yeah.
But you would never know it's five beats. it's
five quarter beats per measure. It's insane and
that comment you said about Primus is remarkable
to me because I love shit like that. Yeah, well
definitely hit up the YouTube or Spotify or check
out some Primus and it's gonna blow your mind.
Yes. It's definitely gonna blow your mind. I
think you'll dig it. Like I said, it's... Definitely
different than everything else. But their time
signatures are so different. But I think you'll
dig it, for sure. But hey, that's it. If you
have, we missed a bass player. We always tell
you, shout at us, engagement. We love it. Bring
it on and let us know who we missed. Hell yeah.
We are now going to move on to review, preview,
review movie, preview movie. uh, because that's
what I do. I also write articles for the entertainer
magazine and where I talk about movies that are
coming out and a movie that I've seen this week.
However, I haven't seen a movie and it's been
a hot minute. I really haven't like I was on
Netflix the other day and I think I might have
been on something else and I was just kind of
just jumping around and I was like, yeah, I can't
find anything. So like, I don't know. Like for
me, it's like writing an article, doing something
creative. You have to be motivated. Like you
can't sit there and be like, I'm going to do
this now because your brain doesn't work that
way. Right. Your creative brain has to be like,
I'm ready. You have to be inspired. You have
to. Yeah. And so, you know, kind of very much
that way. And so like the last week or two, it's
just been kind of like that. I've looked at some
of the movies and just been like, meh. Right,
right. I mean sure could I've just jumped in
one they've been like, oh my god That looks terrible
and just done it to do it. I could have done
it Because a lot of times I end up doing movies
I give high rankings to because it's like movies
I really want to see so I really have to think
about that sometimes it's like If I really think
something's gonna be great or in my wheelhouse,
I'll go see it But I think if I see something
that's like god, that looks awful. I should probably
check it out Yes, I should probably check it
out and those like Not S -tier, not A -tier,
maybe not even B -tier type movies, like the
Sharknado of films. Uh -huh. In my opinion, have
such a special place in my heart. Yeah. They're
entertaining for the wrong reasons. But I even
think the director and writers might even know
that. Of just like, okay, we're gonna make some
stupid shit and people might like it. Well, right,
exactly. I love that. And there is some horror,
like literally the scary movie. movies are that
you know they're they're they're satirizing other
horror films yeah but they still have some content
of horror, but it's mostly like comedy, but it's
like the same vibe of like, okay, they knew what
they were doing and I'm just here to have a good
time. Yeah. So I have to do that. I mean, you
know, maybe even like Tuesdays are cheap days
here in town. So maybe just do it that way. That
way it's like, yeah, you just spend a five bucks.
You get too much on some good popcorn, whatever.
It's fine. But yeah, I'll have to do that. Yes.
I'll have to do that. And there have been some
movies recently that have gotten some... Interresante
reviews. Oh, I'm sure. Hi, Mark. No. The room
would have been amazing. Tommy Wiseau. Tommy
Wiseau, yeah. That would have been something.
I did not hit her. I did not. Oh, hi, Mark. I
don't even know the accent. I really don't. It's,
for ladies and gentlemen, look, if you're into
cult movies, weird cult movies, see it. You have
to watch it. See it for sure. You have to. There's
even one clip, I don't know what it is, but it's
like Tommy Wiseau from The Room doing like a,
I don't know, some kind of reel. to be the Joker.
And he's got the full face makeup on, and he's
just staring directly at the camera. And he's
like, I'm the new Joker. Ah! And that's the whole
clip. That's the whole clip. Like, holy fuck,
Tommy Wiseau. That's all you need from that guy.
I think you're awesome. Please star in more movies.
Oh, that's awesome. I love it. That's so great
So what I did this week because I do this from
time to time I'll just I'll come up with a kind
of type, you know type of movie whatever Genre
you name it and I'm just like oh, these are some
movies. I enjoy I'm gonna share them with the
world Why not? So since we've been on the subject
of politics a lot lately, which I'm hoping we're
gonna go out. That's why I love talking the music
with You Find Beautiful People and some other
stuff because it just kind of gets us out of
that world for a hot minute and that's a good
thing. Right. But I love a good political thriller.
I really do. And when I went down the rabbit
hole the other night... Went oh shit. There are
a lot of really good right, right? So this I
was just like, okay. I'm not gonna do 20 movies
here today That's just kind of crazy. So I just
did like a top five like that. I really enjoy
One of them is enemy of the state. So that one
is with Will Smith. It's with Gene Hackman I
like that one a lot Because he kind of accidentally
gets pulled into this political whatever you
want to call it, espionage and a murder and all
this other stuff. Right. And just due to bumping
into a friend who had this tape, which he didn't,
he didn't tape this murder on purpose. He's like,
he was an environmental guy, like recording bird
patterns or something. Yeah. And they happened
to catch the murder on the tape and he went,
oh shit. And he's just like, he was getting out
of dodge and, you know, he ended up getting killed.
But Well, Smith ends up getting this thing. And
now he's all wrapped up in it, which eventually
gets Gene Hackman wrapped up. He's an old NSA
guy. And the whole thing is really super interesting.
Jack Black, young Jack Black plays a role in
it, which is kind of fun. And I like it. I like
it a lot. The story is good. And It makes you
think about things like the NSA and things that
they see and there really is no privacy. Right.
Right to privacy, there is no right to privacy.
No. There isn't shit. Good luck with that. I
don't even have to talk much about this one.
JFK, Oliver Stone movie with Kevin Costner. He's
like one of those actors, like him. Pachino de
Niro, there's a few others. I was like, oh, so
-and -so's doing a movie. I'm like, I'm going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Costner could be reading the
phone book, and I'll be like, oh shit, I'm going.
Is he doing this live? That's exciting. It's
like, this movie could be baller. It could be
baller, man. Oscar -worthy? What's he doing,
baking a pie? Fuck, let's go. I mean, whatever.
But it's like, Costner's so good in this movie.
and playing Jim Garrison. And it was such an
important part in world history, just not American
history, world history, where it was so tense.
And a lot of people, you know, they they they
look at this assassination as kind of like a
tipping point into like Oh, well, America is
going to go down this path. Right. Right. And
look where we're at. Yeah. And that's kind of
you can you can look back that far. Interesting.
Very interesting. Yeah. But it's an excellent
movie. Well, the way Stone does it and the cast
is killer. Such a good cast. So definitely check
that out. The Hunt for Red October. Great movie.
I was kind of like wondering if it qualified.
I think it really does because. there's so many
political things going on where like this dissident
is like he's kind of taking over parts of Russia
and these They think he's got missiles, and now
they're subsmissing. Everybody's freaking out,
so they send the Red October to sea. And once
again, it is our friends, Gene Hackman, but not
Will Smith this time. He is with Denzel Washington.
My man. Once again, another guy. They could just
be like... Oh yeah, what's Denzel Washington
doing? Oh, he's playing an older choir boy? He's
watching paint dry? He's watching paint dry?
Holy shit, I'm in! Wow, how avant -garde. I am
going to see this immediately. Denzel knows what
he's doing. Denzel knows what he's doing. But
yeah, just the energy. Denzel looks at the paint,
change your world. Change your world. Holy fuck,
Denzel. Denzel, you've said it all, man. Take
my money. Yeah, it's so good, but he's great
in this movie, and he's kind of the XO, which
means he's the right hand to Gene Hackman, who's
an old school sub guy, and he's literally taking
everything period sentence to his cross. This
is how you do it. Whereas, because Denzel's a
younger guy, and he kind of is like, hey, that
message that we just were about to get, maybe
that's important. Maybe we're not. And it's just
like, half the guys support the captain, half
the guys. And it's almost literally, it's mutiny
on a nuclear submarine. And it's so intense,
so intense. James Gandolfini's on it, AKA Tony
Soprano, he's really great. Just a good cast,
a good cast, and it's a fun movie. Two more,
All the President's Men. Rest in Peace, Robert
Redford. This one is really great. The political
thrillers of the 60s and 70s could easily flesh
out the rest of this whole thing. But John Frankenmeier,
he wrote it, trilogies. of films about paranoia
and surveillance and conspiracies. He did what
he'd include. He did Parallax View, culminated
in this definitive retelling of how the crimes
that eventually forced Nixon out of office run
covered by a pair of diligent Washington Post
reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, played
by Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman. How's that?
How's that for two guys for you? This one really
holds up and just tells an amazing tale. And
once again, at another tipping point, right,
of the president and the powers that they wield,
even though they're supposed to be checks and
balances. And then 13 Days. I love 13 Days. Once
again, another Costner movie about JFK, but this
is about the Cuban Missile Crisis. Oh, yeah.
I've studied history. This one scares me more
than any point in our modern American history
because it's a chess game. It's a chess game
between Khrushchev and between JFK and so many
guys in that room with Kennedy just want to go
to war. Right. It's like, look, this isn't World
War Two. We're not going to just get a bunch
of tanks and shoot them at each other, you know,
or here's our soldiers, there's our soldiers.
And then we fight for a while and then we stop.
That's not what this is. And I think they both
Khrushchev's right. Like they both knew that
they're like, if this thing spirals out of control,
shit's going to glow in the dark. That's how
this thing ends up finishing up. And so it's
just intense. It's an intense movie the way they
the way they shot it. And I love it. I love it
because they wrap these guys who Costner was
just like an assistant but he was like a friend
of Bobby and Bobby the brother of JFK and these
guys have to rely on each other to do the right
things because most of the rest of those guys
are just idiots. But I loved it. I loved it,
man. It's such a good movie. And once again,
just a pivotal point in history. So, if you see
any books out there about the Cuban Missile Crisis,
none are at the top of my head right now. Pick
it up, because it was intense. Yeah, and even
if you're a Call of Duty fan, because I know
my first, besides like history class, learning
about history, my first introduction to the Cuban
Missile Crisis outside of that was playing Call
of Duty games. And it's... It's so underplayed
how tense it is. So underplayed because of course
you're playing Call of Duty, right? The protagonist
always wins. That's always how it goes because
that's how history is told. The protagonist always
wins. And it's so under told. Like if your only
idea of history is through that of like Call
of Duty or history books. You're not getting
the full picture. You're really not. You got
to watch the movie. You got to read the books.
It's crazy. Oh, yeah. For sure. Well, that finishes
up that. I'm glad I did that. Yeah. Instead of
the regular review preview, I like doing that
from time to time. I'm definitely a movie buff.
And political thrillers are in my wheelhouse.
I love them. But once again, we are always telling
you engagement. throw political thrillers our
way. Maybe we missed one, maybe there's one you
really like. I know there was a lot on the cutting
room floor that I really liked too. You had to
keep it to five. I had to keep it to five because
we literally could do a whole show on political
thrillers, for sure. But before we take our final
break, while we're sleeping, so Aidan looks at
YouTube and games and shows and movies and all
this stuff and finds things, hey, I think we...
slept on that a little bit and he finds them
each and every week so what do we sleep on now
this week i'm doing a return to while you were
sleeping because some people are out there still
honk shoo honk shoo sleeping on this person that
happens a youtube chat yeah often uh a youtube
channel called garbage time now i brought this
channel up in season one of the mark mo show
which is a an australian youtuber Who is just
a funny guy just a funny but intelligent entertaining
kind of guy Yeah, and he has this channel called
garbage time, okay? Where he and his his his
buddy who is just this master mechanic Just an
absolute genius when it comes to cars they take
these little what they call nuggets Okay, essentially
just these shitty little cars, and they try and
make them drivable. Oh damn But it's not just
that, it's so much more than that. So I'm gonna
run through a couple of their most recent videos.
Okay. And just tell everyone what they've been
sleeping on. So on Garbage Time, they've got
a video where they, quote, vintage Mercedes are
actual nightmares. That's the title of the video.
So he's got a vintage Merc that has been sitting
around rotting for two decades. And the fuel...
You can see, I'll show Mark Moe himself, the
fuel itself is brown. Yeah, that looks nasty.
Yeah, it's not fuel. Like, fuel is almost clear.
It looks like high quality apple juice. Correct,
it does, yes. No, the fuel is brown. So, the
Merc dies. He has another video where he replaced
his engine oil with olive oil. Oh, no. In his
little Fiat Niki. His Fiat has a name? Yeah.
Well, I think it's a Maruk or a Fiat, something
like that. Anyway, it's like a two -cylinder
engine. It pulls like 50 horsepower. So it's
this tiny little car and he replaced it. I'm
looking at the Niki. The Niki. Wow. By the way,
he named it Tony. The car's name is Tony. So
he put olive oil in Tony and it runs. It run
it just because it's two cylinders. It's a tiny
engine. It doesn't matter what it's lubricated
with right It's just like okay. I'm gonna just
drive. I would just go so he replaced this He
replaced his engine oil with olive oil Wow There
was an episode where he made his own electric
car. Oh, that's cool taking. Oh, it gets better
He took a gas car. Yes took the engine and drivetrain
out everything and just put this little, like,
750 -watt electric motor in it with an on -off
switch, so when you click it on, it goes in a
direction, and when you click it off, it doesn't.
That's the whole build. Oh, my God. They just
replaced, like, a four -cylinder engine with
this little electric motor with an on -off switch.
That's the whole build. That's funny. And most
recently on Garbage Time... They took this old
AU Ford Falcon, which is an Australian Ford Falcon.
And they replaced, it was a trasher anyway. It
was a garbage car. It was going to be in the
wreckers. They like saved it in our quotes. Ah,
okay. Yep. But here's how they saved it. They
replaced its engine oil with Vegemite. I've had
Vegemite. Yeah. Woof. Is it great? It's saltier
than salt. Saltier than salt. So they replaced
the engine oil with Vegemite. And looking at
the thumbnails, it's no joke. It's no joke. Vegemite
is a sludge. It's sludge. It's a sludge. They
put that in a car's engine. And you know what?
It ran. They redlined it for like 10 minutes.
That freaks me out. It's unbelievable. Like how
resilient cars are is unbelievable. Wow. You
can put Vegemite in there, and it's like, ah,
I'll shrug it off for a little while. That's
unbelievable. It's so entertaining. I highly
recommend it, because they're just entertaining
individuals. The owner of Garbage Time, who also
has other channels, his name is Wade, and his
master mechanic buddy, James, they are just so
entertaining. And they find a way to make destroying
cars, or even saving cars. So entertaining. So
that's awesome. Highly, highly recommend. That
is that is good. That is that's that's why he
does this man every week. It's it's so good what
he finds. And these guys are They're a trip.
They're worth the watch. So definitely check
them out on the ye olde YouTube. And how can
people find them again on YouTube? It's Garbage
Time, the channel. So you look up Garbage Time
on YouTube, you will most certainly find them.
You'll see the little red Fiat Nicky Maluk ugly
little car on their channel banner. I love it.
Very easy to find. And the fun part, YouTube
is free. And it's right and if you run an ad
blocker you literally just get to watch the videos
and not have any ads So yeah, I know it's against
YouTube's terms of service, but I don't work
for YouTube. So I don't fucking care. You don't
care Yeah, no, I get it. I get it. All right,

official beer review Schnitz und Giegel's. Mm
-hmm, which is spelled UND because that is German
for and it's made by off square brewing Crown
Point baby out of Crown Point Indiana a local
brewery to us Which it may be difficult to find
around you, but it is a martin beer for Oktoberfest,
of course Which by the way is a little spicy
6 .5 % ABV. Let's go. It's a little higher than
your typical Oktoberfest brew, which are around
five. 20 on the international bidders unit scale.
So it's not an IPA, but it might have a little
bit of pizzazz. I love pizzazz. If you're interested.
We're using the Untapped app on our phones. It
is free. We're not sponsored, but you can use
it if you choose to. On a scale from zero to
five. How much do we like it? We will give you
our tasting notes. And we're drinking it out
of a can today. We are. We definitely are. Oh,
it smells nice. It smells a little roasty. A
little roasty. I get a little bit of yeast on
the nose. Yeah, oh yeah. You can tell this boy
is ready. This boy's ready. Ready to be enjoyed.
Almost smells a touch citrusy. I could be crazy
though. I could be crazy though. There's like
a hint of grapefruit under the yeast and malt.
Okay. In my nose. But we will try it. Let's do
it. Let us know what you're enjoying at home.
Slainte. Slainte. Well, that's nice. Boy, howdy,
that is smooth. I like that a lot. Roasty notes.
Nothing, nothing left on the palate. No, not
really. Nothing. That is, that is aftertaste
free. So there's no lingering bitterness that
you would get from an IPA. There's no lingering.
Roasty notes you might get from a porter or a
stout. That is really clean. That is clean. That
is really clean. I like it a lot. I like it a
lot. You're welcome. It's wunderbar. It's wunderbar.
Boy, that is fantastic. That's fire. That is
really nice. I'm a big fan of Oktoberfest. I
think I've mentioned this on the show before.
I'm not a huge lager guy or... like the lighter
beers themselves, lagers, pilsners, pale ales,
is typically not my go -to. But Oktoberfests
have always held a special place in my heart
because they're so much heartier. They're more
full -bodied in terms of flavor. And this one
hits a spot. This is really nice. For sure. Oh,
yeah. This is really nice. It's flavorful, but
it doesn't leave any lasting pizzazz on the palate.
Yep. That is really great. This might be my my
highest rated of the lighter beers on the app
I think I'm going up to three seven five for
this one three seven five out of five. That's
really nice. That's a solid score Most definitely
I would oh Man, yeah, yeah, I'm right there with
I'm gonna match that three seven five. Yeah,
absolutely Oh, I got a badge! You got a badge?
Celebrate Oktoberfest! Let's go! I got the same
thing. Let's go. That's awesome news. I also
unlocked Land of the Free Level 80. Oh, jeez.

and a team who analyzed the pizza preferences
of lizards. The 35th annual... Whoa! Yeah, 35
big ones. A Nobel Prize ceremony was held Thursday
evening in Boston, featured Nobel laureates...
handing out awards for scientific research that,
quote, make people laugh, then think. The prizes
are intended to celebrate the unusual honor,
the imaginative, and spur people's interest in
science, medicine, and technology, the official
website says. Oh. I'm down with that. This year's
Literature Prize was awarded posthumously to
William Bean for, quote, persistently recording
and analyzing the rate of growth of one of his
fingernails over a period of 35 years. This man
dedicated three and a half decades to recording
