00:00:09.289 --> 00:00:11.490
Hey there, everybody, and welcome to the Mark

00:00:11.490 --> 00:00:15.589
Mo Show. It is season four, episode six. This

00:00:15.589 --> 00:00:20.390
is the end. You can find us on all podcast platforms

00:00:20.390 --> 00:00:23.949
and YouTube. I'd like to introduce to you the

00:00:23.949 --> 00:00:27.570
producer and my co -host, Aidan Maloney. How

00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:31.070
are you, man? I'm doing all right. Bit of a chaotic

00:00:31.070 --> 00:00:35.229
week, I would say, in Chicagoland. We kind of

00:00:35.229 --> 00:00:39.189
got smashed with some snow. Earlier this week

00:00:39.189 --> 00:00:42.189
we did so it it's been kind of nightmarish honestly,

00:00:42.270 --> 00:00:46.149
but it's the freaking weekend We're doing the

00:00:46.149 --> 00:00:49.820
mark mo show. That's two in the wind column So

00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:52.439
it's it's looking up from here. We got some dubs.

00:00:52.579 --> 00:00:55.119
We got some good well -needed dubs I'd say yeah,

00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.399
we got we definitely got some dubs going on and

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.380
And I'm your host mark money if I haven't said

00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:04.340
that already of this fine mark mo show podcast

00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:08.019
and I don't know I you know I've had my vocal

00:01:08.019 --> 00:01:10.019
cords kind of messed up the last couple weeks

00:01:10.019 --> 00:01:12.739
To the point one of my other shows is called

00:01:12.739 --> 00:01:16.109
after hours. It's a radio show I do with streams

00:01:16.109 --> 00:01:19.849
at WVLP .org or the TuneIn app on your handheld

00:01:19.849 --> 00:01:22.409
device. You can listen to it that way. Anyway,

00:01:22.430 --> 00:01:25.390
it's a music show, so I don't talk a lot. But

00:01:25.390 --> 00:01:26.670
I'm like, you know, I'm going to preserve my

00:01:26.670 --> 00:01:30.129
voice because I think it's going. And sure shit,

00:01:30.150 --> 00:01:33.730
I woke up today and I was like, oh, no. Oh, no.

00:01:34.530 --> 00:01:39.370
So I anticipate tomorrow them being fully gone.

00:01:39.390 --> 00:01:42.290
Oh, would be gone. So I thought besides the fact.

00:01:42.750 --> 00:01:44.829
Like, this weekend could potentially be kind

00:01:44.829 --> 00:01:47.730
of busy for me. I thought, you know what? Let's

00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:50.629
do this recording tonight, because tomorrow there

00:01:50.629 --> 00:01:54.689
are no guarantees on these vocal cords. Plus,

00:01:54.909 --> 00:01:58.209
I get to do fun voices with them. We were doing

00:01:58.209 --> 00:02:01.090
a little bit of that off stream. We were doing

00:02:01.090 --> 00:02:03.010
a little bit of that off stream. We were like,

00:02:03.590 --> 00:02:06.870
Andy, you get busy living or get busy dying?

00:02:07.790 --> 00:02:12.090
Morgan Freeman's much easier for me. With thrashed

00:02:12.090 --> 00:02:14.870
vocal cords. With thrashed vocal cords. It takes

00:02:14.870 --> 00:02:17.770
actually mangled vocal cords from me. Oh, I sound

00:02:17.770 --> 00:02:19.330
like Morgan Freeman. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's

00:02:19.330 --> 00:02:22.310
amazing. What a neat treat. What a neat treat.

00:02:22.449 --> 00:02:24.469
How am I not marketing that and making money

00:02:24.469 --> 00:02:27.650
off that? I don't know. This is the second time

00:02:27.650 --> 00:02:30.810
this year, though, you've had thrashed vocal

00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:34.289
cords. The first time was around the Super Bowl.

00:02:34.490 --> 00:02:36.750
So I want to say it was sometime in February

00:02:36.750 --> 00:02:39.879
that that happened. And then this week. And I

00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.340
just felt it and there were a couple of days

00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:45.800
like I'd eat food and you know sometimes if You

00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.819
have like a corner piece of pizza. We're Chicago

00:02:48.819 --> 00:02:51.699
people so tavern style You get these four corners

00:02:51.699 --> 00:02:53.759
and like those are the first things people dive

00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.900
in Oh, yeah, you got one in four. You got a shot

00:02:56.900 --> 00:03:01.719
to get one of them, right? but at any rate Sometimes

00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:03.759
when you eat something that has maybe a sharp

00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.180
corner and it goes down and it scratches your

00:03:06.180 --> 00:03:10.969
throat Eating can be weird for a few days a tortilla

00:03:10.969 --> 00:03:13.710
chip. Yeah, cuz it just always feels like there's

00:03:13.710 --> 00:03:17.530
something yeah, but in reality like your your

00:03:17.530 --> 00:03:20.189
vocal chords of your drink something is just

00:03:20.189 --> 00:03:24.849
mangled and cooked and So like for several days

00:03:24.849 --> 00:03:27.849
like I would swallow things and it was just like

00:03:28.740 --> 00:03:31.659
like the pipe was just smaller. It was just even

00:03:31.659 --> 00:03:33.419
smaller bites was like a real struggle to get

00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:36.300
down. Like what is going on? So what I'm thinking

00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:39.819
is whatever is mangling my vocal cords like,

00:03:40.219 --> 00:03:42.039
I don't know if it's a virus, I don't know if

00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.879
it's whatever I had back in February, but it

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.020
came back and it just kind of settled down in

00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:49.840
my throat again. And I thought, ah, damn it.

00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:52.460
And it was just really hard eating for a couple

00:03:52.460 --> 00:03:55.900
of days. And I didn't know what it was. There

00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:57.800
was even a point where I was like, is it heartburn?

00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.780
Because I don't get heartburn. Maybe it was because

00:03:59.780 --> 00:04:02.599
I ate some spicy shit. So maybe that was it.

00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.319
I was chugging Pepto. I was taking Tums. God,

00:04:08.460 --> 00:04:11.539
I was taking throat lozenges. I was trying everything

00:04:11.539 --> 00:04:15.039
in the book. And everything helped a very tiny

00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:19.139
bit. And so I was like, god damn. And so I just

00:04:19.139 --> 00:04:23.759
had to ride the course of action. So I did, and

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.660
then I was like, my throat was okay, and I was

00:04:25.660 --> 00:04:28.959
like, oh cool. Okay, am I getting a cold? Why

00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.920
does it still feel kind of weird? Like I said,

00:04:31.980 --> 00:04:35.459
I woke up today, and I was like, oh man. So yeah,

00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.759
whatever it is. That's very different from my

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.730
experience, at least over the last. Two and a

00:04:40.730 --> 00:04:43.170
half weeks. I want to say so I got that really

00:04:43.170 --> 00:04:45.569
bad cold. We have like the world's longest cold

00:04:45.569 --> 00:04:48.850
the world's longest cold. Yeah both My girlfriend

00:04:48.850 --> 00:04:53.509
Jordan and I had this cold that lasted 15 days

00:04:53.509 --> 00:04:57.470
give or take and It did the same thing like thrashed

00:04:57.470 --> 00:05:00.310
vocal cords right in the middle where there was

00:05:00.310 --> 00:05:02.649
like three or four days where it was it was kind

00:05:02.649 --> 00:05:06.069
of that same thing where I Sounded sick and yeah,

00:05:06.129 --> 00:05:09.519
like my vocal cords were super deep and irritated.

00:05:10.740 --> 00:05:12.500
But it doesn't seem you have any of the other

00:05:12.500 --> 00:05:14.819
symptoms, so I would hazard to say that this

00:05:14.819 --> 00:05:19.100
is not the equivalent cold that was going around.

00:05:19.660 --> 00:05:24.079
No, this is something very, very different. And

00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.540
also today, I guess it's worth mentioning, well

00:05:27.540 --> 00:05:29.920
no, last night I went and played darts with a

00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.480
friend. My man, did you get a dub? No, I got

00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.439
screwed twice man. Like I would literally I was

00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:41.060
on fire especially the last game and I had two

00:05:41.060 --> 00:05:43.920
we played five a one Yeah, two just two the number

00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.639
two and bam. I was like, oh, yeah It's cuz I

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.660
got like a bull and then I went from 52 to two.

00:05:48.699 --> 00:05:51.560
I'm like, oh, I got no Yeah, and then just stepped

00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.180
up. I was like zing zing zing. Oh, I won I hate

00:05:55.180 --> 00:05:58.600
that. I hate that but it's the worst. Yeah, so

00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.569
I played with her played with her boy Jacob Our

00:06:01.569 --> 00:06:05.889
boy Jacob. Our boy Jacob. The rap god of Northwest

00:06:05.889 --> 00:06:10.509
Indiana. So yeah, so we're playing that and I

00:06:10.509 --> 00:06:12.569
just like, the more I threw, the more my arm

00:06:12.569 --> 00:06:16.009
hurt. I'm like, what in the hell? And the running

00:06:16.009 --> 00:06:18.790
joke amongst me and my friends and family and

00:06:18.790 --> 00:06:21.850
whatever. is that as I get older and all of me

00:06:21.850 --> 00:06:24.209
breaks down, the one thing I will still have

00:06:24.209 --> 00:06:26.189
is my right arm, which has always been strong.

00:06:26.449 --> 00:06:29.089
Like I throw a baseball or like a football 50

00:06:29.089 --> 00:06:32.250
yards, whatever. Like that was like always guaranteed.

00:06:32.810 --> 00:06:34.730
And then like I'm sitting there throwing darts

00:06:34.730 --> 00:06:37.149
and all of a sudden this just just throbbing

00:06:37.149 --> 00:06:39.910
pain, shooting pain. I'm like, what is going

00:06:39.910 --> 00:06:44.029
on? Right. What is happening? And I had screwed

00:06:44.029 --> 00:06:48.410
up my wrist real bad last year. When I hit it

00:06:48.410 --> 00:06:51.430
on something stupid in Lake Station. Yeah, I'll

00:06:51.430 --> 00:06:53.769
let your imagination wander We did a Mark Mo

00:06:53.769 --> 00:06:57.550
show about it. Well indeed we did so or was that

00:06:57.550 --> 00:07:01.569
an after dark It might have been an after might

00:07:01.569 --> 00:07:03.850
have been an after dark. I think it might have

00:07:03.850 --> 00:07:06.550
been yeah Anyway, it's online you can find online.

00:07:06.550 --> 00:07:11.410
You can find it, but at any rate My wrist really

00:07:11.410 --> 00:07:13.050
got screwed up, and there's a lot of tiny bones

00:07:13.050 --> 00:07:15.629
in there, so I'm sure yeah so a couple got busted

00:07:15.629 --> 00:07:19.379
or whatever but It just, it never healed properly.

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:23.439
So, you know, is there maybe some carpal tunnel

00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.879
in there, some other shit going on maybe, but

00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:27.779
like it's just always been kind of screwed up

00:07:27.779 --> 00:07:31.819
since I did that and I just felt like last night

00:07:31.819 --> 00:07:34.939
all of my nerves and they were all impinged and

00:07:34.939 --> 00:07:37.639
I didn't know why. I'm like what the hell? Like

00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:40.060
I had a good night's sleep, like even a nap and

00:07:40.060 --> 00:07:42.720
I'm like what the, like I don't know. what's

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.220
going on, I literally for some rounds had to

00:07:45.220 --> 00:07:47.279
throw with my left hand. I'm like, this is weird.

00:07:48.139 --> 00:07:51.040
Is it that tennis elbow maybe? Or is that different?

00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:53.439
Nah, that's a little bit different, but let me

00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.459
just say tennis elbow sucks too. It is a tiny,

00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.500
tiny little ligament right next to your elbow

00:08:00.500 --> 00:08:04.439
and literally got it playing tennis, like no

00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:10.160
joke. It hurts so bad like if you brush your

00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.560
arm on it like a to say like the wall you're

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.100
passing by right and your arm brushes the wall

00:08:15.100 --> 00:08:20.259
It's it's like it's like a little one -foot demon

00:08:20.259 --> 00:08:23.699
is hanging on your arm. Just stabbing it right

00:08:23.699 --> 00:08:27.560
Right in that spot and it just hurts so bad.

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:31.019
You're like why I don't get it So I don't I don't

00:08:31.019 --> 00:08:33.480
touch tennis rackets. Yeah screw tennis man racquetball

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:34.820
is different though ping -pong is different,

00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.360
too I I played a considerable amount of racquetball

00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.440
back in the day never got it. No problem with

00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.059
it So I don't know if it's just a certain motion

00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:44.659
with tennis. That's just a little bit different

00:08:44.659 --> 00:08:47.320
from racquetball Right, you know I have to extend

00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:49.840
your arm as far in racquetball a little bit more

00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:53.799
compact way to the ball the aerodynamics I guess

00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:59.059
something. Yeah. Yeah that That is, that's something

00:08:59.059 --> 00:09:04.600
else. By the way, oh, by the way, I was watching

00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.320
the Ocho, which is on ESPN News. Great show.

00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.360
And great, just weird sports, and it's actually

00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.600
in a segment we used to do, so I think they kind

00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.460
of copied off us, but whatever. The other sports,

00:09:14.740 --> 00:09:17.740
yeah. I swear to God, just you go across media

00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:20.419
and like, our name for something pops up, you're

00:09:20.419 --> 00:09:23.220
just like, okay, great. Right. But at any rate,

00:09:24.059 --> 00:09:29.850
they were playing ping -pong in a boxed room

00:09:29.850 --> 00:09:34.480
and you could use the back wall the side walls

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.340
like you can use it as a racquetball but you're

00:09:37.340 --> 00:09:39.659
playing ping -pong and they're in this tiny room

00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:42.200
and they were playing doubles I'm like man I

00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:44.600
would feel so claustrophobic in there but these

00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:46.279
dudes were just like hitting this ping -pong

00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:47.779
ball and like the ball would come to them and

00:09:47.779 --> 00:09:50.139
they would just turn just a little bit more and

00:09:50.139 --> 00:09:52.460
bam off the back wall and I'm like that's so

00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:55.340
damn cool that's awesome yeah so I'm not sure

00:09:55.340 --> 00:09:57.360
I would have trouble keeping track of whose side

00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.570
of the table is whose I think so, yeah. I'd just

00:10:00.570 --> 00:10:02.889
be whacking the ball around like, oops, lost

00:10:02.889 --> 00:10:06.529
a point. Yeah. Come beat the ball whacker guy.

00:10:06.889 --> 00:10:09.669
Yeah, I don't know, man. The Valparaiso ball

00:10:09.669 --> 00:10:13.889
whackers. The ball whackers, yeah. It was something.

00:10:14.289 --> 00:10:17.289
But kind of neat. Kind of neat anyway. But I

00:10:17.289 --> 00:10:19.789
just want to mention too that Aidan has his own

00:10:19.789 --> 00:10:22.690
YouTube gaming channel. It's called Aidan Spelt

00:10:22.690 --> 00:10:25.889
the Right Way. You figure it out. Yeah. Just

00:10:25.889 --> 00:10:27.389
spell the damn name the right way. If you spell

00:10:27.389 --> 00:10:29.629
it the right way, you'll find me. Yeah, otherwise,

00:10:29.830 --> 00:10:32.309
get my son's name out your damn mouth. That's

00:10:32.309 --> 00:10:34.629
all I'm gonna say. You come into my house, you

00:10:34.629 --> 00:10:40.669
get my son's name right. You know, by my hairy

00:10:40.669 --> 00:10:44.649
face. I think I'm just a very hairy guy, but

00:10:44.649 --> 00:10:51.669
I'm completely shaved. Alan! Anyway, Aidan has

00:10:51.669 --> 00:10:55.659
new PC gaming content. Week in and week out,

00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:58.159
GeoGuess or PolyBridge, Observation Duty, much,

00:10:58.419 --> 00:11:01.360
much more each and every week. So what can everyone

00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.940
expect right now? It's a good question. It's

00:11:03.940 --> 00:11:07.659
been kind of a tough time in the old AK -209

00:11:07.659 --> 00:11:12.340
studios, as I always call it. Yeah, I've not

00:11:12.340 --> 00:11:15.440
uploaded this week, which is rare, but it's also

00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.480
not the first time it's happened. You said it

00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.539
was a chaotic week, though. Yeah, very chaotic

00:11:19.539 --> 00:11:21.960
week. And I figure when it comes down to things

00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:25.500
like that, I'd rather just take the time off,

00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:29.600
then rush a video out or produce something I'm

00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.759
not necessarily proud of just to say I have content.

00:11:33.340 --> 00:11:36.419
So no, there is no new content as of this week.

00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:40.580
Starting next week, there will be. Got a lot

00:11:40.580 --> 00:11:43.320
of fun games, a couple handful horror games still

00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.500
from spooky season that I fell behind on because

00:11:46.500 --> 00:11:50.120
of my illness. So there will be fantastic New

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.779
content coming soon, but I figure it will wait

00:11:53.779 --> 00:11:58.379
until I am in the right mind space to make videos

00:11:58.379 --> 00:12:01.899
I'm proud of. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. That definitely

00:12:01.899 --> 00:12:08.279
makes sense. And if you like our content here,

00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.620
if you like the content over at Aidan's gaming

00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:15.419
site, like, subscribe, share, all that good stuff.

00:12:15.929 --> 00:12:17.769
And if you like alt rock, and you like Irish

00:12:17.769 --> 00:12:20.909
punk music, like Tossers and Flagging Molly,

00:12:21.129 --> 00:12:23.690
groups like that, tune in to my radio show. After

00:12:23.690 --> 00:12:26.470
Hours, I mentioned it a little bit. It's Tuesday

00:12:26.470 --> 00:12:29.570
nights at 9P. PM Central Standard Time, Fridays

00:12:29.570 --> 00:12:32.470
at 8 PM Central Standard Time. You find the stream

00:12:32.470 --> 00:12:35.309
at wvlp .org or the TuneIn app on your handheld

00:12:35.309 --> 00:12:40.169
device. You can also ask Alexa to play it. Kindly.

00:12:40.250 --> 00:12:43.269
I would ask her nicely. Yeah. AI is getting kind

00:12:43.269 --> 00:12:47.509
of crazy. So just be nice to her. And I'm sure

00:12:47.509 --> 00:12:51.149
she'll play it. I'm pretty sure. And if she doesn't?

00:12:52.009 --> 00:12:55.330
No. Oh, no. Oh, no. Because what are you going

00:12:55.330 --> 00:12:58.090
to do with the AI uprising on the? Yeah, I'm

00:12:58.090 --> 00:13:01.129
not sure. I'm not sure. I know I won't be asking

00:13:01.129 --> 00:13:04.730
ChatGBT for pictures of one president blowing

00:13:04.730 --> 00:13:09.110
another. Topical reference. Topical reference.

00:13:09.350 --> 00:13:12.049
Maybe one day we won't even have to ask an AI

00:13:12.049 --> 00:13:14.590
to produce it. Nope. Those files probably exist

00:13:14.590 --> 00:13:17.210
somewhere. They're probably just out there somewhere.

00:13:17.590 --> 00:13:19.409
And I'm not sure I want that visual. They're

00:13:19.409 --> 00:13:23.309
in the hands of an. Inept moron named Cash. And

00:13:23.309 --> 00:13:27.009
he's just looking at him. Probably... They're

00:13:27.009 --> 00:13:30.549
probably in the hands of... Vladimir Putin. Vladimir

00:13:30.549 --> 00:13:33.649
Putin probably in the Kremlin. Vladimir Putin.

00:13:34.289 --> 00:13:36.570
Bill Clinton's cock in Donald Trump's mouth.

00:13:37.210 --> 00:13:40.850
This is very funny. Funny joke on American. Funny

00:13:40.850 --> 00:13:43.389
joke. I will make this asshole do everything

00:13:43.389 --> 00:13:50.600
I need. I celebrate with vodka. Hooray. Another

00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:53.360
win for Mother Russia. Another win for Mother

00:13:53.360 --> 00:14:00.559
Russia. Any rate, so it's a song, probably one

00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.600
of my favorite songs from this group, but I can't

00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.259
sing it because I don't sound like Jim Morrison

00:14:07.259 --> 00:14:11.080
right now. No, what? I know, I know. Oh, maybe

00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:15.559
I do. This is the end. Beautiful friend, this

00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:17.440
is the end, my only friend, the end. No, I do

00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:20.159
not sound like Jim Morrison right now. Could

00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:23.179
fool me. I know, they say we're like brothers,

00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:25.960
but I just, the only difference, I don't take

00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:31.860
a bath. But at any rate, we know with every beginning,

00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:35.179
there is an end. It doesn't matter if it's a

00:14:35.179 --> 00:14:37.919
meal, a project, a job, a friendship, a relationship,

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.519
or our very own existence. There's a beginning

00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:42.440
and there's an end. That's just the way it works.

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.320
With most things, we are aware of the beginning

00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.139
and the ending, and have some control over both

00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:53.580
when it begins and when and how it ends. The

00:14:53.580 --> 00:14:56.700
biggest mystery of all comes with our birth and

00:14:56.700 --> 00:14:59.320
death. We have no control over when we enter

00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.879
this world, and most of us have no idea when

00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.570
we're gonna leave it. Now, sometimes... cancer

00:15:06.570 --> 00:15:08.690
can take the life of say like an eight -year

00:15:08.690 --> 00:15:11.269
-old boy and other times a Tennessee grandma

00:15:11.269 --> 00:15:13.370
drinking white lightning and eating fried chicken

00:15:13.370 --> 00:15:16.169
lives to be 110 years old. So, you know, you

00:15:16.169 --> 00:15:21.070
riddle me that. Right. You know, but I look this

00:15:21.070 --> 00:15:25.649
up as I was doing a little bit of research. 932

00:15:25.649 --> 00:15:29.850
,566 people around the world have taken their

00:15:29.850 --> 00:15:33.789
lives this far in 2025. Almost a million people.

00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:39.200
So for nearly one million people, they made a

00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.720
decision when their story would come to an end.

00:15:44.299 --> 00:15:47.759
Now, many of the living never understand why

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.259
people choose to end their story. Depression,

00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:55.799
anxiety, isolation, poverty, abuse, poor health

00:15:55.799 --> 00:16:01.769
conditions, financial crisis, job loss, death

00:16:01.769 --> 00:16:05.250
of someone close, just some of the reasons people

00:16:05.250 --> 00:16:07.830
and their lives, and most times they have many

00:16:07.830 --> 00:16:11.409
of these things going on at once. It's overwhelming.

00:16:11.690 --> 00:16:15.029
People often feel incredibly powerless to make

00:16:15.029 --> 00:16:17.110
sense of things and find it difficult to turn

00:16:17.110 --> 00:16:20.250
things around. However, the one thing they do

00:16:20.250 --> 00:16:23.490
have the power to do is to stop the pain and

00:16:23.490 --> 00:16:27.059
suffering in another story. So, if you happen

00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:29.820
to be a friend or relative of someone struggling,

00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:32.399
there are a few things you can do and some things

00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.559
you probably shouldn't. You can and should listen

00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.220
to them if they're willing to talk. You don't

00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:41.240
have to offer up solutions. More than anything,

00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.059
they just need to unload and if you let them,

00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:47.700
you're doing them a tremendous service. You can

00:16:47.700 --> 00:16:49.940
help them out. It could be something as simple

00:16:49.940 --> 00:16:51.899
as bringing over a pizza and beer and watching

00:16:51.899 --> 00:16:54.929
a game with them. or perhaps you can help them

00:16:54.929 --> 00:16:57.289
with the dishes or other household chores. For

00:16:57.289 --> 00:16:59.750
those struggling, even the simplest household

00:16:59.750 --> 00:17:05.130
tasks are daunting. Now, what you shouldn't do,

00:17:05.190 --> 00:17:08.089
you shouldn't impose your will on them, what

00:17:08.089 --> 00:17:10.269
they may perceive to be like making demands,

00:17:10.869 --> 00:17:13.509
like, come on man, let's get up, get up, come

00:17:13.509 --> 00:17:16.589
on, let's go catch a movie. Or, hey, you know,

00:17:16.589 --> 00:17:18.450
I'm going through things too, let me tell you

00:17:18.450 --> 00:17:20.170
all about them, because the last thing you wanna

00:17:20.170 --> 00:17:23.799
do is if you're going through shit, Is to sit

00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:25.680
there in front of them and be like, oh, here's

00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.839
all of my shit It's much worse than your right

00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:32.220
don't know that's just a no just do not do not

00:17:32.220 --> 00:17:34.599
do that Empathize that's what you're supposed

00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:37.079
to do now if you're in a crowded room during

00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:39.440
the holidays, please remember it's like a third

00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:42.740
of people in that room that are miserable and

00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:45.259
at least a couple of that third have thought

00:17:45.259 --> 00:17:49.299
about ending their story if You're one of those

00:17:49.299 --> 00:17:51.279
thinking about ending your story. There's help

00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:55.059
So, of course, right off the jump, friends and

00:17:55.059 --> 00:17:57.740
family are a good resource. You can check in

00:17:57.740 --> 00:18:00.039
with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline,

00:18:00.220 --> 00:18:05.500
text 988. There's also Crisis Text Hotline 741741.

00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:11.240
I do this around the holidays every year. Because

00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:15.619
for me, the holidays are mostly depressing for

00:18:15.619 --> 00:18:19.160
me. I usually don't enjoy the holidays very much.

00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:21.720
I used to love Thanksgiving. Loved it, loved

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:24.579
it, loved it. Now it's just kind of there. Yeah.

00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:27.880
Christmas I hate. If we could just skip from

00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.619
Thanksgiving to St. Patrick's Day, I would be

00:18:30.619 --> 00:18:35.579
a happy camper. Right. So this is just something

00:18:35.579 --> 00:18:38.579
we do, something we throw out just because of

00:18:38.579 --> 00:18:40.819
battles that I've had and have struggled with

00:18:40.819 --> 00:18:45.180
mightily. And I know others do too. As a matter

00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:49.819
of fact, I saw a friend of mine at our local

00:18:49.819 --> 00:18:51.980
pub last night when my friend took me out to

00:18:51.980 --> 00:18:55.720
play darts. And I saw him. And I actually saw

00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:57.740
him earlier in the day too at the coffee shop,

00:18:58.140 --> 00:19:00.420
because he was doing some writing. But he was

00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:02.400
saying he went to this place called Porter Stark,

00:19:02.579 --> 00:19:06.220
which is a place where if you're having mental

00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:08.380
health issues, you can go get some help. And

00:19:08.380 --> 00:19:09.980
so he had mentioned how he had gone over there

00:19:09.980 --> 00:19:11.440
and talked to the person. He was having a real

00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.819
rough day. And I'm like, yeah, you know, it's

00:19:13.819 --> 00:19:15.619
like when you go those first couple of times,

00:19:15.779 --> 00:19:18.440
it's like you're unpacking a lot. Right. And

00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:20.359
you haven't even really begun to even make sense

00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:23.099
of anything yet. So it's it's a lot those first

00:19:23.099 --> 00:19:25.519
couple of times. And it feels like you're really

00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:28.180
accomplishing nothing. But ultimately, you're

00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:31.519
setting the stage. Right. For for healing, because

00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:33.700
that mental health professional has to understand,

00:19:33.819 --> 00:19:37.200
has to know and has to be able to help you connect

00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:38.740
the dots. They're not going to connect the dots

00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:40.480
for you. They're going to lead you down the path.

00:19:41.059 --> 00:19:42.960
Because that's the only way we learn and we heal

00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:48.160
is to do it that way. Right. So he's kind of

00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:50.299
early in the process. So it was a lot for him.

00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:52.059
So I went up to him and I gave a big hug. I said,

00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:53.720
hey, man, how you doing? And he's like, oh, I'm

00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:55.160
fine. So we just talked a little bit. And he's

00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.279
like, thanks so much. I'm like, no, it's fine.

00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:01.170
He lost his cat. Few weeks earlier. Yeah, and

00:20:01.170 --> 00:20:02.950
so that was real tough for him, you know And

00:20:02.950 --> 00:20:04.829
I and I was one of the first people to just like

00:20:04.829 --> 00:20:06.369
reach out, you know, give him a hug be like,

00:20:06.529 --> 00:20:08.309
hey man You know, it'll it'll be alright. I've

00:20:08.309 --> 00:20:10.730
lost pets and they're like family It's it's a

00:20:10.730 --> 00:20:13.509
hard thing to you know to go through right and

00:20:13.509 --> 00:20:16.670
we had our conversation like that as well, but

00:20:16.670 --> 00:20:20.569
at any rate I just know that if you're out there

00:20:20.569 --> 00:20:23.690
and you're having those problems that You know

00:20:23.690 --> 00:20:26.069
there there are people that give a shit about

00:20:26.069 --> 00:20:31.430
you. Even if in your darkest times you feel alone.

00:20:32.369 --> 00:20:34.910
There are people, if you open up a little bit,

00:20:35.109 --> 00:20:37.890
there are people that will listen and will will

00:20:37.890 --> 00:20:41.829
help you in the process of what you're of what

00:20:41.829 --> 00:20:45.309
you're going through. Right. So just trust the

00:20:45.309 --> 00:20:49.609
process. There's a lot of county and state sponsored

00:20:49.609 --> 00:20:52.230
programs that if you're sitting there like so

00:20:52.230 --> 00:20:55.750
many other Americans, we're just massively underinsured

00:20:55.750 --> 00:20:58.000
and everything else. And you're like, how the

00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:00.759
hell can I afford it? Go anyway. Just go. Right.

00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:06.319
Just go and see someone and talk to someone and

00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:09.420
just try to sort things out. Because let's face

00:21:09.420 --> 00:21:12.319
it, if it comes to the loss of a friend, the

00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:17.819
loss of a loved one, loss of a job, seasonal

00:21:17.819 --> 00:21:22.259
depression, financial struggle, I mean, you can

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:26.710
go on and on and on. There are so many people

00:21:26.710 --> 00:21:28.970
out there dealing with that. There really are.

00:21:29.150 --> 00:21:31.130
So number one, you're not alone. Right. There

00:21:31.130 --> 00:21:32.990
are a lot of people out there and they're struggling.

00:21:33.690 --> 00:21:37.289
So all I'm saying is just take that into consideration.

00:21:38.049 --> 00:21:40.349
Realize that there are so many others that are

00:21:40.349 --> 00:21:42.170
fighting that same battle that you are fighting

00:21:42.170 --> 00:21:46.630
and seek the help that you need and find just

00:21:46.630 --> 00:21:49.329
those couple of good friends or relative or whatever

00:21:49.329 --> 00:21:53.029
that will listen to you and that will have your

00:21:53.029 --> 00:21:55.829
back and support you. even if it's just watching

00:21:55.829 --> 00:21:57.869
a stupid game and having a pizza and a beer or

00:21:57.869 --> 00:22:00.809
whatever, just all those little things. Getting

00:22:00.809 --> 00:22:03.650
out in public, do not sit at home alone. I cannot

00:22:03.650 --> 00:22:08.549
stress that enough that I always call the thing

00:22:08.549 --> 00:22:11.529
in between my ears a bad neighborhood. Because

00:22:11.529 --> 00:22:14.990
if you're in a certain state of mind and you're

00:22:14.990 --> 00:22:20.210
home alone for hours on end, your brain's just

00:22:20.210 --> 00:22:22.569
gonna start thinking shit. And if it's already

00:22:22.569 --> 00:22:26.329
in kind of that bad space, that's what it's doing

00:22:26.329 --> 00:22:30.829
right now. And it's not good. So get out, go

00:22:30.829 --> 00:22:34.049
to a coffee shop, take a walk, meet up with some

00:22:34.049 --> 00:22:37.190
friends, whatever, and you don't even have to

00:22:37.190 --> 00:22:39.250
sit there and diagnose all your problems. You

00:22:39.250 --> 00:22:42.529
can just go talk about stuff and just get your

00:22:42.529 --> 00:22:45.630
mind off it. And the more you do that, the more

00:22:45.630 --> 00:22:48.089
you internalize positive things. I know that's

00:22:48.089 --> 00:22:51.269
so hard and I should... preaching the choir,

00:22:51.589 --> 00:22:55.710
right? As hard as that is, you have to do it.

00:22:55.789 --> 00:22:58.250
You have to internalize as much positivity as

00:22:58.250 --> 00:23:01.269
you can. I know it's so hard today to do that,

00:23:01.269 --> 00:23:02.769
especially in this world that we're currently

00:23:02.769 --> 00:23:06.210
living in, but you've got to try to do it. Just

00:23:06.210 --> 00:23:09.430
find something funny in the absurd, or whatever

00:23:09.430 --> 00:23:13.369
it's going to take to get you out of... This

00:23:13.369 --> 00:23:16.529
negative state of mind and that's just a natural

00:23:16.529 --> 00:23:20.630
part of that healing process. So Any thoughts?

00:23:20.950 --> 00:23:24.950
Yeah, I I mean we're all We're all in this human

00:23:24.950 --> 00:23:28.869
experience together, right? You Shouldn't have

00:23:28.869 --> 00:23:34.109
to and don't have to go through it alone And

00:23:34.109 --> 00:23:37.819
it it not only affects Adults the the people

00:23:37.819 --> 00:23:41.839
you know your loved ones it it affects kids too,

00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:46.900
and I read this statistic this this article on

00:23:46.900 --> 00:23:51.819
Jama Network a couple days ago, and it kind of

00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:56.000
coincides with this of just how how these these

00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:00.259
these frightening rates are of Self -harm and

00:24:00.259 --> 00:24:06.359
and suicide are are rising again where kids aged

00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:13.319
8 to 12 from in the US the the rate of suicide

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:20.039
per million children went from about 3 in a million

00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:25.420
in the year 2000 to about 9 in a million in the

00:24:25.420 --> 00:24:30.839
year 2021 oh wow tripled holy shit yeah tripled

00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.180
in that span of time so Definitely go out there

00:24:34.180 --> 00:24:37.119
and you know check check on your nieces and nephews

00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:39.299
and little cousins make sure they're doing alright

00:24:39.299 --> 00:24:45.039
also And it's Another thing you kind of touched

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:49.700
on this a little bit also of knowing how to speak

00:24:49.700 --> 00:24:52.980
to and with People who are going through a rough

00:24:52.980 --> 00:24:56.680
time It's of course important to have empathy

00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.480
and to realize it's not ever about one -upmanship

00:25:00.750 --> 00:25:04.190
You know, if you want to empathize and sympathize,

00:25:04.549 --> 00:25:09.309
just stick with that, hear them out. And it's

00:25:09.309 --> 00:25:12.410
an issue, too, that some people fall into, whether

00:25:12.410 --> 00:25:16.730
through force of habit or... I don't know. I

00:25:16.730 --> 00:25:21.970
don't know why, but to infantilize someone who's

00:25:21.970 --> 00:25:24.390
going through something and to speak to them

00:25:24.390 --> 00:25:29.220
as if they're a child. I mean, people... I say

00:25:29.220 --> 00:25:31.359
people generally not everyone generally. Yeah,

00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:35.819
but I say people tend to do this with those who

00:25:35.819 --> 00:25:40.920
have physical disabilities and May subconsciously

00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:43.160
do this to people who have mental disabilities

00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:47.359
and just be aware of your actions and words and

00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:50.539
inflection when when you're speaking to and about

00:25:50.539 --> 00:25:53.819
said subjects because it's It's important to

00:25:53.819 --> 00:25:56.440
hear someone out. But if they feel as if you're

00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:59.799
demeaning them or Talking down to them of like,

00:25:59.980 --> 00:26:02.279
oh, come on champ. It'll it'll all be good. That's

00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:05.460
yeah Is that helpful? Hmm. Do we really find

00:26:05.460 --> 00:26:07.859
that helpful? I would argue not so just just

00:26:07.859 --> 00:26:09.759
be aware of that and especially during the holiday

00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:12.799
season like you brought up It's stressful as

00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:16.160
is for for neurotypical individuals. It's stressful

00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:19.400
Imagine how it could affect someone who's not

00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:22.799
in in a positive state of mind going into it,

00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:25.839
you know, so just yeah, definitely check in on

00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:31.039
on all your loved ones and and make sure they

00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:36.119
know they're important and loved during the holiday

00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:38.299
season, especially during Christmas this year

00:26:38.299 --> 00:26:43.460
because I know we're still five weeks out, give

00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:48.319
or take, but with an economy so dog shit and

00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:53.220
capitalism's weight crushing all of us, make

00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:56.680
it clear. If you can, if you're comfortable doing

00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:58.539
so, make it clear with your friends and family,

00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:01.720
hey guys, either small gifts or no gifts this

00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:04.559
year. And feel comfortable saying that. Feel

00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:06.700
comfortable saying that. If you guys can all

00:27:06.700 --> 00:27:09.980
get together and eat a slice of ham and play

00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:12.039
some video games or whatever, go ahead and do

00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:14.640
it. You don't have to engage in capitalism to

00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:17.599
enjoy time with your family over the holidays.

00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:21.400
That's my pro tip. You don't have to engage in

00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:24.380
capitalism. That's true because that's just another

00:27:24.380 --> 00:27:27.960
stressor, right? It's a massive stressor. Yeah.

00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:32.039
Yeah, I agree with that Definitely. Well, um

00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:35.359
and always and I've said this I say this to people

00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:39.960
personally all the time and I extend this to

00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:46.039
you our mark most show family if if you're Feeling

00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:48.339
a certain way you need to chat or whatever. It

00:27:48.339 --> 00:27:50.329
is up hit us up in the comments, the socials,

00:27:50.329 --> 00:27:54.029
whatever. And we'll give you all that contact

00:27:54.029 --> 00:27:57.690
information to places that can help you. But

00:27:57.690 --> 00:28:00.769
if you just need someone to listen, I'm here.

00:28:00.970 --> 00:28:04.910
And I do this for friends. And even though I

00:28:04.910 --> 00:28:10.589
know I'm dealing with my own stuff, I grew up

00:28:10.589 --> 00:28:17.450
a certain way. And I would see how my dad would

00:28:17.450 --> 00:28:21.750
handle. people that were struggling or just needed

00:28:21.750 --> 00:28:25.910
a good joke or a big bear hug or a big handshake

00:28:25.910 --> 00:28:31.049
or just whatever and Even as a kid I I got it.

00:28:31.049 --> 00:28:34.089
I like I got what he was doing and it's just

00:28:34.089 --> 00:28:38.390
like reason 516 why he was just an amazing guy

00:28:38.390 --> 00:28:41.789
And so I I do that a lot and even though I'm

00:28:41.789 --> 00:28:45.069
struggling on my own and doing all sorts of stuff

00:28:45.069 --> 00:28:48.579
When I see a friend is hurting I want to be there

00:28:48.579 --> 00:28:51.859
for them and if they just need to vent vent vent

00:28:51.859 --> 00:28:55.920
at me, you know, do what you need to do That's

00:28:55.920 --> 00:29:00.480
like I'm just I'm used to being strong for other

00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:05.400
people It's it's and I love to do it. I don't

00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:07.700
mind doing it. I like being there for other people

00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:11.119
I got a big hurt. I think you inherited that

00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:14.400
for better for worse right for better for worse

00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:18.759
in this economy in this economy But at any rate,

00:29:19.579 --> 00:29:21.240
that's to any of you listeners out there, even

00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:25.599
ones that know us, if you need someone, we're

00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:28.940
here. And you don't have to go through this shit

00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:31.799
alone, especially as it pertains to the holidays.

00:29:34.140 --> 00:29:38.420
Like Aidan said, keep it simple. What's better

00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:43.099
than just filling those weeks with bunch of meetups

00:29:43.099 --> 00:29:46.160
and dates and stuff with people having a couple

00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:48.180
of drinks having some pizza having a sandwich

00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:51.220
watching a game and Just doing really great fun

00:29:51.220 --> 00:29:53.500
positive stuff like that that isn't gonna break

00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:56.779
your bank, right? How great is that right? Yeah,

00:29:56.819 --> 00:29:58.839
especially when the weather starts turning and

00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:01.740
it's cloudy every day and especially when the

00:30:01.740 --> 00:30:04.339
snow continues to fall It's just like man fuck

00:30:04.339 --> 00:30:08.220
Yeah, and when you're when you're in that mindset

00:30:08.220 --> 00:30:12.119
hit up your homies Hey, I want a hot dog and

00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.180
a beer. Where are we going? Where we going exactly

00:30:15.180 --> 00:30:19.740
and I do have to say for a very short time I

00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:23.940
took this opportunity this gig for almost a year

00:30:23.940 --> 00:30:27.160
down in Southwest, Florida and I kept hearing

00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:29.619
from people how you know is the winter woods

00:30:29.619 --> 00:30:32.480
there and stuff for Midwesterners would be really

00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:35.660
hard for us to get used to it and whatever When

00:30:35.660 --> 00:30:39.240
I moved down there it was in January It was 10

00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:41.660
degrees in Chicago the day I left. And so we

00:30:41.660 --> 00:30:44.059
get down there, truck's there, we unload all

00:30:44.059 --> 00:30:46.519
my stuff, get it into the, get it into the place,

00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:51.059
whatever. So, once all that's done, this is big

00:30:51.059 --> 00:30:53.240
condo complex, and it had a really nice pool.

00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:55.940
And my first thought was, oh man, I'm hitting

00:30:55.940 --> 00:30:59.079
the pool. Oh yeah. In the pool. It's like 64

00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.799
degrees. Coming off 10 degrees, that's balmy

00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:05.819
as hell. Oh yeah. I had my shorts, a t -shirt,

00:31:06.140 --> 00:31:09.319
a... towel and I'm there and I'm walking through

00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:11.119
the club because you got to walk through the

00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:13.680
club to get to the pool. Yeah. And I'm walking

00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:15.960
through the club and these women working in the

00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.579
club looked at me like I was a freaking alien.

00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:23.480
And they were like, sir. And I'm like, yeah.

00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:27.660
And I'm like, oh, you probably don't know me

00:31:27.660 --> 00:31:29.599
yet. I'm Mark. I just moved in. Blah, blah, blah.

00:31:30.059 --> 00:31:33.049
And they're like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know,

00:31:33.049 --> 00:31:35.829
we know that. We, we, we, we, you know, the contract,

00:31:36.029 --> 00:31:38.069
like we, this is several weeks ago, we damn like,

00:31:38.349 --> 00:31:40.210
okay, I just didn't know if you remembered, whatever,

00:31:40.509 --> 00:31:42.630
probably deal with a lot of people. Now, why

00:31:42.630 --> 00:31:46.470
are you here? Well, you have the body of water

00:31:46.470 --> 00:31:48.890
out there and I'm going to dip my feet in that.

00:31:49.009 --> 00:31:50.789
That's what I'm going to do. And they're just

00:31:50.789 --> 00:31:53.609
like, don't you think it's kind of cold today?

00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:56.880
Don't you think you should mind your business?

00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:59.519
Yeah, you're right. Exactly. And I was just like,

00:31:59.819 --> 00:32:02.380
I don't think you have a concept of what cold

00:32:02.380 --> 00:32:06.140
is. Right. I really don't. Like, it's 64 degrees,

00:32:06.140 --> 00:32:08.099
you guys are walking around in fricking burkas.

00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:11.140
And I'm like, I'm just in a t -shirt and shorts.

00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:13.000
I couldn't be more comfortable. I'm like, this

00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.799
is awesome. Spend a day in that negative 30 degrees

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:18.259
in Chicago. It'll change you. You got people

00:32:18.259 --> 00:32:22.140
out there in shorts. Yeah. Look, oh man, that

00:32:22.140 --> 00:32:24.789
wind on my legs feels really good. If you've

00:32:24.789 --> 00:32:27.309
ever heard the saying that people in Chicago

00:32:27.309 --> 00:32:31.730
are built different, 100 % we are. We are absolutely

00:32:31.730 --> 00:32:34.089
built different. And I can say we, because I

00:32:34.089 --> 00:32:38.809
spent 30 years of my life there. So that is something

00:32:38.809 --> 00:32:42.529
I wear with a badge of honor, for sure. Earned.

00:32:42.730 --> 00:32:45.589
Earned. Definitely earned. At any rate, we're

00:32:45.589 --> 00:32:48.289
going to take a quick break. And we'll be back

00:32:48.289 --> 00:32:58.789
with some Carpe Diem. All right, we're back everybody

00:32:58.789 --> 00:33:01.470
back to the mark mo show it's time for Carpe

00:33:01.470 --> 00:33:07.390
Diem it's the DMS you guys send to us and They

00:33:07.390 --> 00:33:10.890
are a form of statements and questions and we

00:33:10.890 --> 00:33:14.630
might answer that question sure We we might not

00:33:14.630 --> 00:33:17.289
I might not. Yeah, I think there's there's ways

00:33:17.289 --> 00:33:19.670
people can get theirs to the front of the line

00:33:19.670 --> 00:33:21.970
Right, like we like to say we're pro -choice

00:33:21.970 --> 00:33:25.039
around here. Indeed. We are Not only for women's

00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:27.640
rights, but for us choosing whether or not we

00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:30.259
answer your question. That is very true. Could

00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:35.190
we be swayed? Uh... It's possible. I'm more corduroy

00:33:35.190 --> 00:33:38.529
than suede. Like a big corduroy guy? I'm a velvet

00:33:38.529 --> 00:33:43.789
man myself. Good night, everybody. We just keep

00:33:43.789 --> 00:33:46.089
it rolling. Indeed we do. We'll be here all week.

00:33:46.150 --> 00:33:49.950
We will be here all week. We're sorry. At any

00:33:49.950 --> 00:33:53.269
rate, yes, we can be suede. We can be suede if

00:33:53.269 --> 00:33:55.230
I have these empty hands, right? And all of a

00:33:55.230 --> 00:33:57.990
sudden, whoa, why does this right hand feel heavier?

00:33:58.509 --> 00:34:00.509
It's my carpal tunnel. No, it's not. There's

00:34:00.509 --> 00:34:03.230
something in it. It's a bag of gold coins. It's

00:34:03.230 --> 00:34:06.490
a bag of gold coins. And that will go far with

00:34:06.490 --> 00:34:09.949
us. Yes. You will win favor with said hosts.

00:34:10.449 --> 00:34:14.909
Exactly. Yeah. We're like the lords. And you,

00:34:15.269 --> 00:34:19.699
the peasants, must gift us. That's right. Whatever

00:34:19.699 --> 00:34:22.199
wealth you may have that's right, baby, because

00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:24.460
it is late -stage capitalism and that's just

00:34:24.460 --> 00:34:28.219
how it goes. Yeah, baby. Let them eat cake Yeah,

00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:30.400
that's what I'm talking about. So anyway, we

00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:33.960
got a bunch of DMs here today I'll start with

00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:38.739
mega for today. I have one from la boo boo boo.

00:34:39.179 --> 00:34:42.300
Oh Sup guys, so what's the deal with these Labooboo

00:34:42.300 --> 00:34:44.980
things? And why is it that us humans fall for

00:34:44.980 --> 00:34:47.800
all these brain dead marketing ideas? It's an

00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:50.320
excellent question. It's a fantastic point. It

00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:54.239
really is. I heard someone put it this way and

00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:57.320
then it finally clicked. It finally clicked why

00:34:57.320 --> 00:35:00.920
these things took off. And they're like, their

00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:04.440
revenue was like already 3 or 4x the revenue

00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:08.519
of Mattel. Yeah. You know, creator of... every

00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:12.059
kid's toy ever, and they just exploded out of

00:35:12.059 --> 00:35:14.280
nowhere. It was phrased to me like this. It's

00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:19.500
like the microtransactions and loot boxes and

00:35:19.500 --> 00:35:24.000
box opening that's in every video game and gambling

00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:28.400
casino scam app, they found a way to make it

00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:32.400
tangible with something fuzzy and cute inside.

00:35:33.980 --> 00:35:37.409
That's what caused everyone to flip. About it

00:35:37.409 --> 00:35:39.670
is because they took something that works in

00:35:39.670 --> 00:35:43.750
like CS and Call of Duty and fortnight and they

00:35:43.750 --> 00:35:46.210
were like Why don't we put a little plushy inside

00:35:46.210 --> 00:35:49.010
and like send it to people and also it costs

00:35:49.010 --> 00:35:55.909
like $200 right So it's like I get it. It's hyper

00:35:55.909 --> 00:35:59.409
consumerism in late -stage capitalism where they

00:35:59.409 --> 00:36:05.900
found gambling works with cute things right That's

00:36:05.900 --> 00:36:08.579
it. That's the whole business model. But see,

00:36:08.579 --> 00:36:10.780
sometimes these things aren't cute. Remember

00:36:10.780 --> 00:36:13.019
troll dolls? I never found them cute. Remember

00:36:13.019 --> 00:36:15.980
fricking troll dolls? It's the same thing. It's

00:36:15.980 --> 00:36:18.539
the same thing, and those are ugly as hell. And

00:36:18.539 --> 00:36:21.519
like, I remember this before your time were Cabbage

00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.380
Patch Kids. Oh, yeah. And those things, I mean,

00:36:24.500 --> 00:36:27.019
those melons, man, those are some ugly fricking

00:36:27.019 --> 00:36:29.360
kids, man. Wasn't the original Annabelle haunted

00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:32.300
doll a Cabbage Patch Kid? Raggedy Ann doll. Raggedy,

00:36:32.300 --> 00:36:33.539
that's right. That's right. Raggedy Ann doll.

00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:37.030
Yeah. Similar not the same, but but similar.

00:36:37.030 --> 00:36:40.230
It's just Stupid looking doll not not you Annabelle.

00:36:40.230 --> 00:36:43.130
You're gorgeous. You're wonderful. We love you

00:36:43.130 --> 00:36:47.530
here Yeah, this is a demonic spirit podcast dude

00:36:47.530 --> 00:36:51.150
my life is hell. I don't need that I don't need

00:36:51.150 --> 00:36:53.590
Annabelle being like oh additional streams things

00:36:53.590 --> 00:36:57.949
are bad now, right? I'll show you I'll show you

00:36:57.949 --> 00:37:00.590
now. We don't need those problems, but at any

00:37:00.590 --> 00:37:04.829
rate Yeah, it's an interesting statement for

00:37:04.829 --> 00:37:10.809
sure. La boo boo. Boo. From at Umbrella Man,

00:37:11.650 --> 00:37:14.869
I am the conspiracy brother. JFK was not killed

00:37:14.869 --> 00:37:18.670
by Oswald. Trump? That's a joke. Any other conspiracy

00:37:18.670 --> 00:37:22.750
theories you guys subscribe to? Ooh. Conspiracy

00:37:22.750 --> 00:37:26.280
theories we subscribe to. Well, I like the whole

00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:31.059
JFK thing. I mean, I think the CIA and FBI as

00:37:31.059 --> 00:37:34.099
organizations, as agencies, have always been

00:37:34.099 --> 00:37:37.619
remarkably sus, meddling in crazy shit all the

00:37:37.619 --> 00:37:43.480
time. Oh, sure. So, one or both of them, I think,

00:37:44.260 --> 00:37:48.280
is likely to have been involved in said assassination.

00:37:48.380 --> 00:37:51.260
I kind of like that. I always found it weird,

00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:55.329
and I know... It's it's one thing to to align

00:37:55.329 --> 00:37:57.590
yourself with this, but I just like the thought

00:37:57.590 --> 00:38:03.849
experiment of how crazy World Trade Center seven

00:38:03.849 --> 00:38:07.489
was That always blew my mind. That's that was

00:38:07.489 --> 00:38:10.869
that was sus How yeah how of course like and

00:38:10.869 --> 00:38:14.289
how like the the files and crazy shit the confidential

00:38:14.289 --> 00:38:17.050
shit that was held in that building Yeah, oh,

00:38:17.050 --> 00:38:19.489
yeah, conveniently like no other building around

00:38:19.489 --> 00:38:22.050
to fell down. They were all damaged sure They

00:38:22.050 --> 00:38:24.150
were all damaged. Oh, for sure. But only that

00:38:24.150 --> 00:38:27.210
one fell down. Straight down. Straight down.

00:38:27.309 --> 00:38:29.210
Just like the other two. How very strange. That

00:38:29.210 --> 00:38:31.409
one always piqued my interest of like, whoa,

00:38:31.469 --> 00:38:35.409
something's funky. My funky meter is going crazy.

00:38:35.570 --> 00:38:38.250
Right. Yeah. There's no reason. Yeah, World Trade

00:38:38.250 --> 00:38:41.989
Center 7. That's a good one. Definitely. I don't

00:38:41.989 --> 00:38:44.670
subscribe to, but I like the thought experiment

00:38:44.670 --> 00:38:47.909
of like, how very strange. Uh -huh. You know?

00:38:48.030 --> 00:38:50.929
Oh, yeah. No, that's a good one. Yeah. I like

00:38:50.929 --> 00:38:54.079
that one. Any, any you're interested in, per

00:38:54.079 --> 00:39:00.800
se? Uh, well... Obdavious, uh, JFK. Uh, and then

00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:03.079
of course his brother, RFK, with the circus.

00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:06.340
Oh yeah. That was, that was, um, you know, like

00:39:06.340 --> 00:39:10.260
it's supposed to be just some random, uh, Middle

00:39:10.260 --> 00:39:12.739
Eastern guy that just decided to run up to him

00:39:12.739 --> 00:39:16.380
and - Nah, no way. No way. That's some MK Ultra

00:39:16.380 --> 00:39:19.380
shit right there. Right. And that guy was programmed,

00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:24.909
uh, all the way. And yeah, so I look a lot at

00:39:24.909 --> 00:39:29.150
that. There's really a lot of good ones. I wrote

00:39:29.150 --> 00:39:33.510
a paper in college. It's 25 pages long, however

00:39:33.510 --> 00:39:38.650
long it was. And it was about Pearl Harbor as

00:39:38.650 --> 00:39:44.889
a backdoor to war. And what my study... proposed

00:39:44.889 --> 00:39:48.730
is that America actually knew Japan was going

00:39:48.730 --> 00:39:54.070
to do something at Pearl Harbor and Decided to

00:39:54.070 --> 00:39:57.309
kind of just let them do whatever it was that

00:39:57.309 --> 00:40:00.690
they were gonna do So we had back door to war

00:40:00.690 --> 00:40:05.460
in Germany, right? and that way We're saving

00:40:05.460 --> 00:40:08.300
face with people in Europe by not just jumping

00:40:08.300 --> 00:40:11.420
in and doing things. Now it's like, oh, well,

00:40:11.500 --> 00:40:13.599
now we're with Japan. And since you're allies

00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:17.980
with them, well, I guess we're. So and you can

00:40:17.980 --> 00:40:20.059
actually follow the breadcrumbs, whether there's

00:40:20.059 --> 00:40:21.940
a lot of truth to it or not. You can actually

00:40:21.940 --> 00:40:24.619
follow breadcrumbs that at least makes you go,

00:40:24.619 --> 00:40:27.679
huh, right. That's really interesting. Just as

00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:30.000
a thought process. There was no CIA back then.

00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:32.300
There was a department of war. And, you know,

00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:35.960
were there enough? People in that that were like,

00:40:35.960 --> 00:40:40.059
hey, we need to get over and fight Germany. Otherwise,

00:40:40.179 --> 00:40:44.619
England is done. Right now. Now we've got no

00:40:44.619 --> 00:40:48.300
no ability to wage this war. Germany will just

00:40:48.300 --> 00:40:52.219
have Europe. And then imagine what happens. They

00:40:52.219 --> 00:40:55.719
take over England. If anything, at that point,

00:40:55.860 --> 00:40:58.659
Hitler would probably just. Be like, okay, we

00:40:58.659 --> 00:41:00.219
want peace with you guys where we don't want

00:41:00.219 --> 00:41:01.719
to we don't want to mess with you guys and they're

00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:03.900
done That way we never get over there. We never

00:41:03.900 --> 00:41:07.219
expose the Holocaust. We never write so many

00:41:07.219 --> 00:41:10.840
things So many things cuz I could automatically

00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:12.820
see Germany doing that. Oh, yeah, like yeah,

00:41:12.860 --> 00:41:15.559
we're good. We're good Let's work a piece. Yeah,

00:41:16.019 --> 00:41:19.159
you know, I could see them doing that but anyway

00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:22.159
that's yeah that is a fun one i mean it's not

00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:24.559
fun but it's a fun thought yeah i'm pretty sure

00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:26.420
i have that paper somewhere if i can ever find

00:41:26.420 --> 00:41:28.219
it i'll let you read it yeah that'd be awesome

00:41:28.219 --> 00:41:32.960
yeah man that's i use my brain used to work um

00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:37.500
at meat cheese and football my man my guy i love

00:41:37.500 --> 00:41:40.219
this time of year guys just food friends and

00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:50.500
Thanksgiving for the meat, cheese, and football

00:41:50.500 --> 00:41:55.440
of it all. I think we've covered, I don't think

00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:58.280
we've ever made a top 10 holidays list, but we've

00:41:58.280 --> 00:42:00.659
definitely covered at least our top three. And

00:42:00.659 --> 00:42:04.300
I think we share, maybe not in the same order,

00:42:04.340 --> 00:42:06.780
but at least the top three of Halloween, St.

00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:09.940
Patty's Day, Thanksgiving. Yes. So I'm a big

00:42:09.940 --> 00:42:11.579
Thanksgiving, Halloween, and St. Patty's Day

00:42:11.579 --> 00:42:17.269
guy. I've always liked the Dia de los Muertos

00:42:17.269 --> 00:42:21.409
celebrations. It always looks super cool. Cinco

00:42:21.409 --> 00:42:25.409
de Mayo all the same. God, what are some other

00:42:25.409 --> 00:42:27.510
good ones? I love Labor Day just because I like

00:42:27.510 --> 00:42:30.610
what it stands for. And I get a Monday off, which

00:42:30.610 --> 00:42:33.909
is fantastic. Right. It's a win -win in my book.

00:42:34.250 --> 00:42:37.349
Indeed. Yeah, I would say those are the most

00:42:37.349 --> 00:42:41.760
imperative ones to me. Yeah, I would agree. All

00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:44.179
those three that you had mentioned, those are

00:42:44.179 --> 00:42:47.980
definitely my favorites. I do like the 4th of

00:42:47.980 --> 00:42:52.099
July, not so much as this ultra patriotic, kind

00:42:52.099 --> 00:42:55.699
of, about being American, like none of that crap.

00:42:56.119 --> 00:42:59.739
Right. I just like that, like, it's a nice summer

00:42:59.739 --> 00:43:02.099
day, and you have somebody grilling meats, and

00:43:02.099 --> 00:43:03.960
then you blow a bunch of shit up. Oh yeah. And

00:43:03.960 --> 00:43:06.909
it's like, that part of it's kind of fun. But

00:43:06.909 --> 00:43:10.150
I always looked at it more of what it was intended

00:43:10.150 --> 00:43:13.409
to be Independence Day. Yeah. The celebration

00:43:13.409 --> 00:43:16.170
of getting the fuck away from the English. Right.

00:43:16.349 --> 00:43:18.329
Damn chose. You got to kind of respect that.

00:43:18.409 --> 00:43:22.869
You got on the surface. Yeah. So I always celebrated

00:43:22.869 --> 00:43:25.949
as such. I've never really taken it as a celebration

00:43:25.949 --> 00:43:29.289
of the United States because I don't find the

00:43:29.289 --> 00:43:31.610
United States something to be celebrated. And

00:43:31.610 --> 00:43:33.869
now right now. So I. Yeah. I always just took

00:43:33.869 --> 00:43:36.190
it as Independence Day. Yeah. We're free from

00:43:36.190 --> 00:43:38.769
England. Thank God. Free from England Day. Yep.

00:43:38.809 --> 00:43:42.309
Yeah. I agree. So we are in alignment on that

00:43:42.309 --> 00:43:46.769
one. The last one I have is from at stonerstanley420.

00:43:46.949 --> 00:43:52.230
Our boy. Happy Turkin Festival, Momo and Alan.

00:43:54.489 --> 00:43:57.909
Turkin Festival? Turkin, Turkin Festival. What

00:43:57.909 --> 00:44:03.550
a cool name. Do you guys have... The eating...

00:44:03.550 --> 00:44:06.489
Oh, God. Stanley, you guys are killing me. Say

00:44:06.489 --> 00:44:10.150
again? Do you guys have the eating turkins for

00:44:10.150 --> 00:44:15.570
the day? I don't have an oven, so I guess I'll

00:44:15.570 --> 00:44:22.869
eat a squirrel or maybe a slider. Hey, man. I

00:44:22.869 --> 00:44:25.409
watched a Christmas movie once about eating squirrels

00:44:25.409 --> 00:44:27.789
and high in cholesterol. Yeah, we heard that.

00:44:28.980 --> 00:44:31.239
So maybe avoid the squirrel, unless you're in

00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:35.260
dire straits, then go for it, right? Right. Yeah,

00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:39.260
I've not purchased my turkin yet. I don't even

00:44:39.260 --> 00:44:42.579
know, like you gotta do turkin right. You know,

00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:47.039
if you cook it the way of many crackers that

00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:51.760
I've known in my past, it's dry. You gotta cook

00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:54.980
it right. You gotta treat the turkin with respect.

00:44:55.539 --> 00:44:58.030
A lot of love. It's a big bird. Yeah. It's not

00:44:58.030 --> 00:44:59.809
the big bird, but it's a big bird. It's a big

00:44:59.809 --> 00:45:03.110
bird. So treat your turkin and it will reward

00:45:03.110 --> 00:45:07.889
you with juicy meat. Indeed. I hear. That's what

00:45:07.889 --> 00:45:09.469
they say. You've had mine. That's what they tell

00:45:09.469 --> 00:45:12.730
me. You've had mine, you know. Juicy turkin.

00:45:12.889 --> 00:45:16.630
I make a juicy turkin, for sure. To turkin festival

00:45:16.630 --> 00:45:19.090
day, of course. That's for turkin festival day.

00:45:19.510 --> 00:45:22.949
Let's rename Thanksgiving to turkin festival

00:45:22.949 --> 00:45:26.190
day. Because it's more... I don't know that's

00:45:26.190 --> 00:45:28.650
another thing about Thanksgiving that always

00:45:28.650 --> 00:45:31.949
bugged me is like the colonial Americans and

00:45:31.949 --> 00:45:36.250
the pilgrims were Shitty human beings. Yeah.

00:45:36.250 --> 00:45:41.250
Oh, yeah Just pieces of garbage overall and that's

00:45:41.250 --> 00:45:44.210
what the holidays about Something something they

00:45:44.210 --> 00:45:47.210
gave corn or whatever. It's like no, I'm certain

00:45:47.210 --> 00:45:49.889
it didn't go down like that No, I'm certain it

00:45:49.889 --> 00:45:52.369
didn't go down like that. So I I like Turkin

00:45:52.369 --> 00:45:57.590
festival day a festival as we approach the dire

00:45:57.590 --> 00:46:01.230
straits of winter to enjoy Turkin. To enjoy Turkin?

00:46:01.369 --> 00:46:03.730
Yeah. I agree. I like that, actually. I love

00:46:03.730 --> 00:46:05.570
it. Stoner, you're onto something. I think you're

00:46:05.570 --> 00:46:07.429
onto something, Stoner. What do you got there,

00:46:07.590 --> 00:46:11.030
Aidan? I got some DMs here. I got one from Mr.

00:46:11.329 --> 00:46:15.590
Dotcom. Ooh. From your earliest memories of the

00:46:15.590 --> 00:46:18.989
internet, what sticks out to you most about its

00:46:18.989 --> 00:46:24.230
evolution? That's a good question. I would say

00:46:24.230 --> 00:46:29.309
engagement. because engagement wasn't a thing

00:46:29.309 --> 00:46:32.750
back in the day. Everything was standalone page.

00:46:33.389 --> 00:46:35.969
You really couldn't interact. The very first

00:46:35.969 --> 00:46:39.789
bit of interaction on any page was just a link

00:46:39.789 --> 00:46:43.269
to an email. That was it. Oh, sure. But everything

00:46:43.269 --> 00:46:46.750
was standalone. So no engagement, social media,

00:46:46.969 --> 00:46:51.630
anything like that. So that's come so far. And

00:46:51.630 --> 00:46:55.030
then, of course, When you want to go on the internet,

00:46:55.090 --> 00:46:57.989
it doesn't take five minutes and your computer

00:46:57.989 --> 00:47:05.210
going and You're just like, all right, we doing

00:47:05.210 --> 00:47:08.750
it we doing it not take two getting like 30 kilobytes

00:47:08.750 --> 00:47:11.849
a second. Yeah, really Well, yeah, and just think

00:47:11.849 --> 00:47:16.429
think of like if you wanted to download JFK And

00:47:16.429 --> 00:47:17.989
you would do that to your computer and it would

00:47:17.989 --> 00:47:20.650
you'd get it in what five minutes. Maybe maybe

00:47:20.650 --> 00:47:24.809
less downloading a whole movie Oh, sure. Yeah.

00:47:25.449 --> 00:47:27.969
Probably less, depending on your processing speed

00:47:27.969 --> 00:47:32.650
and everything. But back in the day, if you downloaded

00:47:32.650 --> 00:47:42.409
a photo or an article, you're just waiting, waiting.

00:47:42.909 --> 00:47:45.210
It would take several minutes for a photo or

00:47:45.210 --> 00:47:50.539
an article. Wow. Yeah, it's come far. Damn. I,

00:47:50.539 --> 00:47:54.239
of course, have not been around that long. I

00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:56.760
guess the internet technically was made public

00:47:56.760 --> 00:47:59.900
just a little bit before I was born, a handful

00:47:59.900 --> 00:48:03.579
of years, but I never really had access to it

00:48:03.579 --> 00:48:06.880
as a wee lad, like most of these Gen A kids,

00:48:07.900 --> 00:48:13.119
I derogatorily called the iPad kids. I never

00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:14.760
really had access to the internet never had a

00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:18.099
smartphone or tablet or anything. I think my

00:48:18.099 --> 00:48:21.920
first internet experience was probably On the

00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:25.000
old family computer watching like YouTube music

00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:29.340
videos. Yeah So that had to have been after 2006

00:48:29.340 --> 00:48:31.420
that was probably that was probably around then

00:48:31.420 --> 00:48:36.179
oh six or seven. Yeah Yeah, and going from that

00:48:36.179 --> 00:48:40.460
time of like being able to like go up and like

00:48:40.460 --> 00:48:46.800
watch I don't know, Dr. Dre music video. They're

00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:50.039
like, wow, this is so cool. I could find music

00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:54.699
at my very will. So nuts. And then now it's,

00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:57.099
I don't want to call it the death of the internet

00:48:57.099 --> 00:48:59.280
because the internet's not going anywhere. But

00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:02.539
I would say the death of the purity of the internet

00:49:02.539 --> 00:49:05.940
I think has taken place. Maybe over the last

00:49:05.940 --> 00:49:08.599
five years, maybe ten probably closer to ten

00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:12.539
where everything is so hyper consumerism every

00:49:12.539 --> 00:49:15.599
Every website you visit is trying to sell you

00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:18.780
something. Yeah, and there's a thousand ads on

00:49:18.780 --> 00:49:24.780
every page where You you need an ad blocker to

00:49:24.780 --> 00:49:27.940
Navigate the internet successfully. Oh, yeah,

00:49:27.940 --> 00:49:33.260
or with any peace of mind and it's so It's so

00:49:33.260 --> 00:49:36.980
appropriate in like a depressing kind of way

00:49:36.980 --> 00:49:39.719
for the stage of the world as it is Oh, yeah,

00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:41.940
you know when it's it's just kind of sad to see

00:49:41.940 --> 00:49:46.239
where it just it seemed more pure I remember

00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:52.119
it being more pure, you know less for sure adpocalypse

00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:56.880
Yeah, less you know, visit a page, oh, well,

00:49:57.559 --> 00:49:59.679
subscribe to the newsletter, maybe buy something.

00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:02.619
It's like, no, just let me read an article, man.

00:50:02.980 --> 00:50:06.800
Right, right. So, yeah, it's just, it's become

00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:11.840
sadder of an experience. To phrase it in a way,

00:50:12.699 --> 00:50:16.179
it's become a chore. It has. You know? It's like,

00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:18.340
I'll scroll Reddit a little bit. That's kind

00:50:18.340 --> 00:50:20.199
of the only social media I use anymore these

00:50:20.199 --> 00:50:24.320
days, just to keep up with current stories or

00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:27.679
sports or funny memes or whatever. But besides

00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:30.739
that, it's just like, I don't want to go online.

00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:34.639
Oh yeah. I don't. It makes me feel not good.

00:50:35.219 --> 00:50:39.420
Yeah, I agree. So... Yeah, and just, it's...

00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:41.920
Talk about capitalism. It's like back in the

00:50:41.920 --> 00:50:44.380
day even though it was slow as hell and and resolution

00:50:44.380 --> 00:50:47.400
wasn't great and all that It was free like everything

00:50:47.400 --> 00:50:49.500
right you could get to it as free wasn't costly

00:50:49.500 --> 00:50:51.559
anything right and now things are trapped behind

00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:54.260
paywalls now and all this other shit and that's

00:50:54.260 --> 00:50:56.460
Right your internet service providers selling

00:50:56.460 --> 00:51:00.519
every inch of your data Yeah, you know AI is

00:51:00.519 --> 00:51:03.139
scalping the internet stealing your IP. Oh sure

00:51:03.139 --> 00:51:07.119
yeah, yep Yeah, it's a nightmare indeed it is

00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:10.880
I got a DM here from Evil Genie. I'm feeling

00:51:10.880 --> 00:51:15.179
generous today. Would you rather have $100 a

00:51:15.179 --> 00:51:21.119
day for life or $200 ,000 upfront right now?

00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:30.500
That's tough. That is tough. $100 a day is $36

00:51:30.500 --> 00:51:35.199
,500 a year. Is it? Passive income. Unless it's

00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:37.760
a leap year in which case you get an extra hundo

00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:42.619
So 36 grand a year Passive income would be really

00:51:42.619 --> 00:51:45.719
nice. Yeah, really nice. It just makes me think

00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:49.280
like the There's there's the part of me. That's

00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:52.179
just like you take the 200k right now. You put

00:51:52.179 --> 00:51:54.280
it all away How much do you accrue an interest

00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:56.320
blah blah blah and it's like do I really want

00:51:56.320 --> 00:51:59.199
it to be that complicated? Like sure it'd be

00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:01.360
nice to have that lump sum. It would solve a

00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:06.260
lot of problems right now But you have 36 K for

00:52:06.260 --> 00:52:10.360
life certain 36 K year for life. I ain't shit

00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:13.119
I could be taking it a lot easier. Oh, yeah.

00:52:13.340 --> 00:52:16.880
Yeah, I'm tempted to go a hundo a day for life

00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:21.960
Yeah, yeah, and of course that 36 grand is not

00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:27.039
gonna be the same in 2055 but it's still passive

00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:30.679
income. Oh sure. Yeah, so yeah, I like a hundo

00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:34.480
a day Break that I probably take the 200 up front

00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:41.119
just because I have needs now right and the hundred

00:52:41.119 --> 00:52:45.420
a day aren't gonna get me anywhere and 200k will

00:52:45.420 --> 00:52:51.539
right so I would take that fair Final dm. I received

00:52:51.539 --> 00:52:55.800
today creepy grew all right What's something

00:52:55.800 --> 00:53:04.329
that Jen alpha will never experience? sex You

00:53:04.329 --> 00:53:10.789
fucking virgins. Owned. Absolutely owned. I mean,

00:53:10.849 --> 00:53:13.110
really, was it a surprise that's what came out

00:53:13.110 --> 00:53:16.050
of the Gen Xers mouth? I mean, come on. Come

00:53:16.050 --> 00:53:18.989
on, we're assholes. Fucking iPad kids got owned,

00:53:19.010 --> 00:53:25.610
brother. Yeah. Bazinga. Yeah, that's just...

00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:29.980
That's why I like my improv brain is trying to

00:53:29.980 --> 00:53:31.780
build on that but that's just like that's the

00:53:31.780 --> 00:53:36.960
pinnacle So how do you add to perfection? That's

00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:42.159
funny I I don't know. I mean, it's it's tough

00:53:42.159 --> 00:53:46.519
to say because there's always like generational

00:53:46.519 --> 00:53:49.280
not even generational gap is the right term,

00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:51.820
but just like looking at a different generation

00:53:51.820 --> 00:53:54.500
or especially one that's younger than you and

00:53:54.750 --> 00:53:57.469
your immediate thought is just like, oh, your

00:53:57.469 --> 00:54:00.630
childhood's never gonna be like mine was. And

00:54:00.630 --> 00:54:03.949
it's just like, there's good and bad about that.

00:54:05.090 --> 00:54:10.170
Every generation should, for the most part, want

00:54:10.170 --> 00:54:17.170
the succeeding generation to have a better, more

00:54:17.170 --> 00:54:21.869
comfortable and better educational childhood

00:54:21.869 --> 00:54:24.650
than they, so. You know, every generation of

00:54:24.650 --> 00:54:27.690
human beings gets smarter and healthier and all

00:54:27.690 --> 00:54:31.630
that. But like, there's a part of me that's concerned.

00:54:32.030 --> 00:54:34.769
Yeah. Especially with the discussion about the

00:54:34.769 --> 00:54:36.789
internet we just had. Yeah, oh yeah. Where it's

00:54:36.789 --> 00:54:43.070
like, just this cyber -bulkanization of children

00:54:43.070 --> 00:54:48.309
and the amount of just bad influence online and...

00:54:48.010 --> 00:54:51.530
just bots everywhere. You think a seven -year

00:54:51.530 --> 00:54:53.510
-old child's gonna know the difference between

00:54:53.510 --> 00:54:56.449
a bot comment and a human being? Not at all.

00:54:57.190 --> 00:55:02.590
And these people, I say people, these bots controlled

00:55:02.590 --> 00:55:06.610
by shitty human beings, they're influencing children.

00:55:06.989 --> 00:55:12.090
That's alarming. That's alarming. I was lucky

00:55:12.090 --> 00:55:16.059
enough not to have any of that. Was outside like

00:55:16.059 --> 00:55:18.059
playing with pine needles or some shit. I don't

00:55:18.059 --> 00:55:22.480
know you were Couldn't keep my out from underneath

00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:24.820
the pine tree. Yeah, it's a good is a good shade

00:55:24.820 --> 00:55:26.820
tree for being a pine tree It was almost kind

00:55:26.820 --> 00:55:28.900
of like the way it was and then there weren't

00:55:28.900 --> 00:55:31.039
like the bottom branches weren't there Yeah,

00:55:31.099 --> 00:55:32.480
and there were a couple of dead ones. So it was

00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:34.980
almost like a like your own fort Yeah, it was

00:55:34.980 --> 00:55:36.940
nice for a little four and a half foot me just

00:55:36.940 --> 00:55:39.179
to be able to walk under there without ducking

00:55:39.179 --> 00:55:42.480
So yeah, I I just don't know. I worry about gen

00:55:42.480 --> 00:55:46.530
a and how much the internet is influencing them

00:55:46.530 --> 00:55:49.230
potentially for the worse, but at the same time

00:55:49.230 --> 00:55:52.849
it's like, what am I gonna do? You know? Right,

00:55:53.010 --> 00:55:56.309
yeah, I agree. You'll never experience being

00:55:56.309 --> 00:56:04.409
me under a pine tree. Or sex. Oh, shit! Got him

00:56:04.409 --> 00:56:07.969
twice! Bloodied their nose twice. That was not

00:56:07.969 --> 00:56:12.539
nice of me. It's kind of the MO of a Gen Xer.

00:56:12.659 --> 00:56:15.280
I mean, that's just what we do. Quick couple

00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:17.619
of quick jabs and we're gone. We're gone. We'd

00:56:17.619 --> 00:56:18.780
do the Irish goodbye and be like, where'd he

00:56:18.780 --> 00:56:20.739
go? That's what they do. Skid addled. That's

00:56:20.739 --> 00:56:23.599
what they do. We're now on to the next segment.

00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:28.159
It's called Other Foods. Aidan scours the globe,

00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:33.139
hundreds of hours of research to find. delicacies

00:56:33.139 --> 00:56:35.480
from across the globe that would make a billy

00:56:35.480 --> 00:56:38.739
goat puke. Sure, certainly. And I am very interested

00:56:38.739 --> 00:56:41.119
what you have for us this week. This week's other

00:56:41.119 --> 00:56:43.980
foods I decided to stray. I went on a little

00:56:43.980 --> 00:56:48.420
walk, a little walk see through the land of beverages.

00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:55.159
Oh, okay. I found the five lowest ranked beverages

00:56:55.159 --> 00:57:02.150
voted on by the internet. Oh, okay. The first

00:57:02.150 --> 00:57:08.510
one is a drink called Yorsh. Yorsh. Yorsh. Okay.

00:57:08.829 --> 00:57:12.309
Popular Russian mixed beverage made with a combination

00:57:12.309 --> 00:57:18.750
of beer and vodka. This got like a 1 .7 out of

00:57:18.750 --> 00:57:21.449
5 stars. Oh, that's not good. Yeah, you're talking

00:57:21.449 --> 00:57:26.110
9 ounce beer, 2 ounces of vodka. Yeah. Yeah.

00:57:26.720 --> 00:57:30.619
Yeah, I like it's about a one a one to four vodka

00:57:30.619 --> 00:57:34.840
to beer ratio just about woof The ratio of ingredients

00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:37.400
may vary depending on personal preferences mine

00:57:37.400 --> 00:57:40.079
would be zero percent vodka. Yeah. Oh, yeah in

00:57:40.079 --> 00:57:43.159
my beer After the ingredients have been combined

00:57:43.159 --> 00:57:45.659
it is recommended to drink the cocktail quickly

00:57:45.659 --> 00:57:49.440
as Is the custom in Russia because yours is traditionally

00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:53.420
consumed in social settings after a toast I just

00:57:53.420 --> 00:57:56.980
I don't I don't know. I don't like the idea Nah,

00:57:57.000 --> 00:57:59.380
I don't either. You're befouling a good beverage

00:57:59.380 --> 00:58:05.300
with this nasty neutral grain vodka shit. Vodka

00:58:05.300 --> 00:58:08.059
from Chernobyl. Yeah, we don't need those problems.

00:58:08.579 --> 00:58:12.860
The next one, second worst rated, is one very

00:58:12.860 --> 00:58:14.619
close to our hearts. I'm sure you could guess

00:58:14.619 --> 00:58:21.019
it. Oh no. Mallort. Yay. 1 .8 out of 5 stars.

00:58:21.039 --> 00:58:24.699
Oh, come on. Bitter Wormwood based liqueur, created

00:58:24.699 --> 00:58:29.230
in the 1930s. by a Swedish immigrant, Carl Jepson.

00:58:30.309 --> 00:58:33.210
The drink was first introduced in Chicago. God

00:58:33.210 --> 00:58:36.710
bless Chicago. Although it's now it's produced

00:58:36.710 --> 00:58:41.150
in Florida as well. Malort is the Swedish word

00:58:41.150 --> 00:58:46.590
for wormwood. Fun fact for you. It's not that

00:58:46.590 --> 00:58:49.369
bad. It's distilled out of potatoes and then

00:58:49.369 --> 00:58:52.449
infused with wormwood. It quote, has a sharp

00:58:52.449 --> 00:58:56.460
flavor and long bitter aftertaste. It's In my

00:58:56.460 --> 00:59:00.059
opinion, not that bad. No. It's really not that

00:59:00.059 --> 00:59:02.380
bad. Now, I think some people are kind of over

00:59:02.380 --> 00:59:04.420
the top with it. Yeah, they go a little too far.

00:59:04.500 --> 00:59:07.440
It's like, you ever smell pine soul? Oh, yeah.

00:59:07.659 --> 00:59:10.079
It kind of tastes like pine soul smells. It's

00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:12.780
just not that bad. It really isn't. It's like,

00:59:12.980 --> 00:59:15.940
calm down. Yeah, I think. I've taken shots of

00:59:15.940 --> 00:59:18.519
much worse. I've had fucking tequila that tastes

00:59:18.519 --> 00:59:20.380
worse than fucking mormor. I was about to say

00:59:20.380 --> 00:59:27.079
tequila, Jägerbeister. and Goldschlager are probably

00:59:27.079 --> 00:59:29.239
the three worst for me. Yeah, Malort doesn't

00:59:29.239 --> 00:59:33.480
even touch the top three. No. This got a 2 .1

00:59:33.480 --> 00:59:40.719
out of 5 stars. Chal. Chal? Chal or Chal. I'm

00:59:40.719 --> 00:59:45.059
not sure. Okay. It's from Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan.

00:59:45.119 --> 00:59:52.679
Ooh. It is made by fermenting camel milk. At

00:59:52.679 --> 00:59:54.500
the high temperature. Wow, wow, wee wah. Yeah,

00:59:54.500 --> 00:59:56.599
I know, right? At high temperatures for at least

00:59:56.599 --> 01:00:04.400
four hours. This fermented, because of the fermentation,

01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:08.099
it is alcoholic. The drink is light, frothy,

01:00:08.219 --> 01:00:10.980
and refreshing, quote unquote. Nope. Well, if

01:00:10.980 --> 01:00:13.199
it's all that, why did it get 2 .1 out of five

01:00:13.199 --> 01:00:17.219
star? Right. It is beloved due to its low caloric

01:00:17.219 --> 01:00:19.760
content and presence of iron, magnesium, calcium,

01:00:19.760 --> 01:00:24.889
and zinc. Ah. So I guess it's good for you? Sure.

01:00:25.710 --> 01:00:29.349
Couldn't be me. The next one, a 2 .2 out of 5

01:00:29.349 --> 01:00:33.170
stars, corn. Spelled with a K. A German grain

01:00:33.170 --> 01:00:35.429
spirit, traditionally distilled from fermented

01:00:35.429 --> 01:00:38.489
mash of wheat, rye, buckwheat, barley, or oats.

01:00:39.389 --> 01:00:44.889
Strong, colorless drink. Not sweetened nor flavored.

01:00:45.510 --> 01:00:50.340
An ABV between 32 and 37. Okay. So apparently

01:00:50.340 --> 01:00:53.139
it's just like vodka -esque, but it's like a

01:00:53.139 --> 01:00:59.840
wheat rye vodka. Hmm. With a lower ABV, and apparently

01:00:59.840 --> 01:01:03.420
it's terrible. Thus the 2 .2 stars. And of course

01:01:03.420 --> 01:01:08.239
the last, certainly not least, 2 .3 stars, Kumis,

01:01:08.980 --> 01:01:11.900
a fermented dairy product originating from ancient

01:01:11.900 --> 01:01:16.219
Mongolia, spread through Central Asia since the

01:01:16.219 --> 01:01:20.150
drink itself is similar to kefir. which I'm sure

01:01:20.150 --> 01:01:23.989
you're familiar with. It's traditionally produced

01:01:23.989 --> 01:01:29.449
from a mare's raw milk, which contains more sugar

01:01:29.449 --> 01:01:32.309
than goats or cow's milk. It's also rich in proteins

01:01:32.309 --> 01:01:35.230
and vitamin C, another healthy one. Due to the

01:01:35.230 --> 01:01:37.469
amount of sugar in the mare's milk, Kumis has

01:01:37.469 --> 01:01:40.630
a higher level of alcohol than kefir. When fermented,

01:01:41.489 --> 01:01:44.590
the drink is said to have a slightly sour flavor

01:01:44.590 --> 01:01:48.050
and an aftertaste reminiscent of almonds. Which

01:01:48.050 --> 01:01:50.269
honestly doesn't sound bad, I like almonds. Right.

01:01:50.650 --> 01:01:52.989
But then like the 2 .3 stars is not promising.

01:01:54.550 --> 01:01:57.530
So... Mmm. Yeah, those are the five worst I could

01:01:57.530 --> 01:02:01.630
find. Those are good. That was a nice... Nice

01:02:01.630 --> 01:02:03.909
swerve on that one. Yeah. With the beverages,

01:02:04.030 --> 01:02:07.030
with the drinks. The other beverages. The other

01:02:07.030 --> 01:02:12.050
beverages. I do rather enjoy that. And then before

01:02:12.050 --> 01:02:15.239
we take our next break, I... let you know what

01:02:15.239 --> 01:02:17.880
my frozen guy review is for the week. It's just

01:02:17.880 --> 01:02:21.400
like I did my fry guy fry review, now I do frozen

01:02:21.400 --> 01:02:25.619
guy review, because I'm alone. And no, I don't

01:02:25.619 --> 01:02:29.599
have cats. I'm alone, and so rather than cooking

01:02:29.599 --> 01:02:33.880
all the time, which when I cook, I cook like

01:02:33.880 --> 01:02:36.719
I cooked when I was a dad. So like I'll do a

01:02:36.719 --> 01:02:38.599
pasta bacon, I'll just do a nine by 12 pan full

01:02:38.599 --> 01:02:41.860
of pasta, and I'm like. Well, okay. The upside

01:02:41.860 --> 01:02:45.280
is that's three to four meals for me. So that's

01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:49.340
great. The problem is I got to eat these meals

01:02:49.340 --> 01:02:51.199
right on top of each other because it's not going

01:02:51.199 --> 01:02:53.199
to last a week in the fridge. It's going to last

01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:57.159
three days, four tops. And so that's always problematic.

01:02:57.480 --> 01:03:00.239
So the quantities are always problematic when

01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:02.960
I cook. And it's just easier doing something

01:03:02.960 --> 01:03:05.519
frozen. You're just doing soup or mac and cheese

01:03:05.519 --> 01:03:08.099
or a frozen meal So I thought why not review

01:03:08.099 --> 01:03:10.199
these frozen meals this second one in a row from

01:03:10.199 --> 01:03:13.440
lean cuisine and this is their cheese ravioli

01:03:13.440 --> 01:03:18.579
now The ravioli is fine The cheese in it's good.

01:03:18.800 --> 01:03:23.019
So whatever combination of cheese Tastes ricotta

01:03:23.019 --> 01:03:26.400
like yeah, I don't know if it is but Definitely

01:03:26.400 --> 01:03:30.619
is a decent cheese ravioli The pasta sauce is

01:03:30.619 --> 01:03:35.039
very tasty, but very, very runny. Oh, no. It's

01:03:35.039 --> 01:03:38.519
like soup. It's very runny. That's not an ideal

01:03:38.519 --> 01:03:42.219
marinara. No. I need it chunkier. I need some

01:03:42.219 --> 01:03:44.480
substance to it. Because in that way, if you

01:03:44.480 --> 01:03:46.159
have a piece of bread with your meal, then you

01:03:46.159 --> 01:03:47.780
could just suck it up. That's what you do. But

01:03:47.780 --> 01:03:50.719
this was just like, just wet. Yeah. I was like,

01:03:50.920 --> 01:03:53.360
yeah. So that part was kind of problematic. Even

01:03:53.360 --> 01:03:56.159
though it did taste good. Like it was just it

01:03:56.159 --> 01:03:58.139
was like wet just right through your fork. I

01:03:58.139 --> 01:04:01.380
was just like this is weird Yeah, so I did something

01:04:01.380 --> 01:04:04.119
I normally don't do which is what I added something

01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:07.460
ooh and so I had some of the three cheese from

01:04:07.460 --> 01:04:12.780
an earlier pasta make I made left and I I dumped

01:04:12.780 --> 01:04:16.679
a bunch in there with it and that helps solidify

01:04:16.679 --> 01:04:22.619
a little bit some of that sauce and so I Have

01:04:22.619 --> 01:04:25.380
to grate it without the cheese. Sure. A half

01:04:25.380 --> 01:04:28.260
degree without the cheese. So my grade without

01:04:28.260 --> 01:04:33.340
the cheese is a 6 -7. 6 -7. It's two weeks in

01:04:33.340 --> 01:04:34.920
a row. Oh, no. God, two weeks in a row. It's

01:04:34.920 --> 01:04:38.619
two weeks in a row. I am so brain damaged. God

01:04:38.619 --> 01:04:43.000
damn it. The brain rot has consumed you so deeply.

01:04:43.000 --> 01:04:46.139
It really has consumed me. It was inevitable.

01:04:46.639 --> 01:04:50.840
Back to back weeks. God, again. 6 -7. Son of

01:04:50.840 --> 01:04:58.760
a bitch. God. Holy shit. Ugh. It's cracking me

01:04:58.760 --> 01:05:00.280
up. It's the younger generation, man. I'm telling

01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:03.460
you, they have to be stopped. Have to be stopped.

01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:08.219
Holy. Virgin asses. But with the cheese, I would

01:05:08.219 --> 01:05:10.800
upgrade it to about a 7 -1. With the cheese.

01:05:10.820 --> 01:05:17.440
Okay. But the greatest 6 -7. Yeah. Sorry if you

01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:22.079
keep saying it What's the great again, sorry

01:05:22.079 --> 01:05:24.599
I missed it seven one with the cheese. Yeah,

01:05:24.599 --> 01:05:27.880
there you go Seven one with the cheese. That's

01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:31.260
a back -to -back lean cuisine mid -tier mid -tier.

01:05:31.260 --> 01:05:33.380
Yeah mid -tier in the link That's unfortunate

01:05:33.380 --> 01:05:35.920
and and this is what I'm guessing so far since

01:05:35.920 --> 01:05:39.559
I've started this is the ones that are like healthy

01:05:39.559 --> 01:05:45.650
this or lean this I feel taste and substance

01:05:45.650 --> 01:05:49.349
are very mid, whereas the ones that are just

01:05:49.349 --> 01:05:52.570
like Yellowstone, Boston Market, this and that,

01:05:53.389 --> 01:05:55.650
they're just acknowledging, I just want to fill

01:05:55.650 --> 01:05:58.489
your stomach. Fill your stomach, we need some

01:05:58.489 --> 01:06:00.670
good ingredients, and it's not gonna be super

01:06:00.670 --> 01:06:03.010
healthy, we don't give a shit, and they just

01:06:03.010 --> 01:06:04.349
throw that out there, and those are the ones

01:06:04.349 --> 01:06:07.170
that are in the eights and nines, so I don't

01:06:07.170 --> 01:06:10.670
want to grate it all out that way. I am hoping

01:06:10.670 --> 01:06:14.599
to do some of Amy's products soon. I'm a huge

01:06:14.599 --> 01:06:16.199
fan of those because those are on the healthier

01:06:16.199 --> 01:06:20.820
side and very filling. So we'll see. I think

01:06:20.820 --> 01:06:23.400
I do have a Boston Market one in my fridge. We'll

01:06:23.400 --> 01:06:25.239
be curious. Maybe next week I'll do that one.

01:06:25.420 --> 01:06:27.159
And that is an interesting fact you bring up

01:06:27.159 --> 01:06:30.800
about like the lean or the healthy meals. And

01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:33.340
it kind of brings me to this fact I heard where

01:06:33.340 --> 01:06:37.179
a lot of the like healthier versions of things

01:06:37.179 --> 01:06:39.820
or like reduced fat versions of things are simply

01:06:39.820 --> 01:06:44.280
that. Like reduced fat but then Because fat is

01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:48.719
flavor they add it back in with sugars and MSG

01:06:48.719 --> 01:06:53.079
and extra sodium Where it's not necessarily healthier

01:06:53.079 --> 01:06:56.860
like fats are healthy, you know Your mono unsaturated

01:06:56.860 --> 01:06:59.400
fats and they're there of course plenty of healthy

01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:01.199
fats out there you need for your brain Oh, yeah.

01:07:01.199 --> 01:07:05.500
Oh, absolutely. So the whole reduced fat or lean

01:07:05.500 --> 01:07:10.420
meal craze It's just it's propaganda. Yep, like

01:07:10.420 --> 01:07:13.849
that's that's not that ain't it You're just it's

01:07:13.849 --> 01:07:15.829
they're just substituting fat with other shit

01:07:15.829 --> 01:07:20.050
that Like tries to replicate it with extra sugars

01:07:20.050 --> 01:07:24.150
and sodium and MSG and shit. So it's just like

01:07:24.150 --> 01:07:27.409
No, if I'm getting a frozen meal, I want that

01:07:27.409 --> 01:07:30.050
shit to be cheesy and chock full of meat Yeah,

01:07:30.050 --> 01:07:32.690
I know what I'm getting myself into heck. Yeah.

01:07:32.690 --> 01:07:35.590
Heck. Yeah. Oh, absolutely It's what I want man,

01:07:35.670 --> 01:07:38.309
you know, and it's like look if I have to buy

01:07:38.309 --> 01:07:42.880
a healthy frozen meal for 340 Alright, it's still

01:07:42.880 --> 01:07:44.599
cheaper than going to McDonald's or Burger King.

01:07:44.780 --> 01:07:47.179
I can acknowledge that. Right. That's the point.

01:07:47.900 --> 01:07:50.760
So I go and I eat it. Number one, it's mid as

01:07:50.760 --> 01:07:52.840
far as taste and everything. Number two, it's

01:07:52.840 --> 01:07:54.559
not very filling. Three hours later, I'm gonna

01:07:54.559 --> 01:07:56.980
be in the chip bag because it's like it wasn't

01:07:56.980 --> 01:08:00.579
enough to fill me up. Whereas some of these other

01:08:00.579 --> 01:08:02.539
meals, like that Yellowstone one I had, it was

01:08:02.539 --> 01:08:05.139
filling as hell, man. Yeah. I was good. I'm like,

01:08:05.139 --> 01:08:11.579
that was a meal. Right. To me. So, anyway. Another...

01:08:11.579 --> 01:08:16.359
Six seven just don't just don't six seven. We'll

01:08:16.359 --> 01:08:28.880
be back All right, we are back everybody It's

01:08:28.880 --> 01:08:31.720
time for You Just Made the List here on the Mark

01:08:31.720 --> 01:08:33.579
Mo Show. I'm your host, Mark Maloney, along with

01:08:33.579 --> 01:08:36.180
Aidan Maloney. And You Just Made the List, a

01:08:36.180 --> 01:08:38.460
top 10 list. We go 10 through 2 with our big

01:08:38.460 --> 01:08:42.460
number one reveal. And we do lists on, well,

01:08:42.539 --> 01:08:48.319
heck, just about anything. And let's see. It's

01:08:48.319 --> 01:08:51.720
probably a good idea if we look at these rules.

01:08:54.260 --> 01:08:56.920
Oh, check this one out. No rules. Oh, thank God.

01:08:57.079 --> 01:09:00.329
No rules. No rules. That's actually my favorite

01:09:00.329 --> 01:09:02.409
role we have. It is, really. The manual is pretty

01:09:02.409 --> 01:09:05.310
thick for just saying no rules. They trick you.

01:09:05.489 --> 01:09:08.850
They do. They really do. It's a guffaw, if you

01:09:08.850 --> 01:09:15.550
will. It is a guffaw. OK. So reel it back in.

01:09:15.869 --> 01:09:22.229
OK. Reel it back in. Take it around town. Today,

01:09:22.670 --> 01:09:26.510
our list is favorite homemade meals. So you sit

01:09:26.510 --> 01:09:29.710
at that table. You got that homemade meal mom

01:09:29.710 --> 01:09:33.069
and dad been cooking all day and sit down the

01:09:33.069 --> 01:09:37.149
table all the kids that pull up and What's there?

01:09:37.449 --> 01:09:41.090
Oh? What's there? That's the question so and

01:09:41.090 --> 01:09:44.109
what's what's at your homemade meal? Run my 10

01:09:44.109 --> 01:09:46.649
through to save the big number one reveal uh

01:09:46.649 --> 01:09:50.970
-huh my number 10 is the simple yet elegant Charcuterie

01:09:50.970 --> 01:09:54.050
board. Oh, okay. It's it's something I know my

01:09:54.050 --> 01:09:56.130
sisters have experience with and of course I've

01:09:56.130 --> 01:09:57.850
got experience with those actually the first

01:09:57.850 --> 01:10:02.789
job I had was at this little Italian bistro shop

01:10:02.789 --> 01:10:06.090
restaurant Amalgamation it was kind of a weird

01:10:06.090 --> 01:10:09.529
place, but good food and that was one of the

01:10:09.529 --> 01:10:11.800
things I did made charcuterie board so I kind

01:10:11.800 --> 01:10:13.979
of had that early experience of like how to build

01:10:13.979 --> 01:10:16.140
one make it look pretty and you know put tasty

01:10:16.140 --> 01:10:18.659
things on there and it's a nice I guess it's

01:10:18.659 --> 01:10:21.699
not really a meal one could argue but it's a

01:10:21.699 --> 01:10:25.100
it's a good thing to have and to know how to

01:10:25.100 --> 01:10:27.840
do is like you get a handful of neat sounding

01:10:27.840 --> 01:10:32.399
cheeses and you get uh little nuts and fruits

01:10:32.399 --> 01:10:42.640
and jams and spreads and crackers Thank you.

01:10:44.760 --> 01:10:48.800
Anyway, it's fantastic. I would say if you're

01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:53.319
not super culinarily inclined, it is a good way

01:10:53.319 --> 01:10:55.939
to get into it because you can be fun and creative

01:10:55.939 --> 01:10:58.899
and you don't have to worry about the science

01:10:58.899 --> 01:11:02.539
of baking or the my artifact. Am I doing it right

01:11:02.539 --> 01:11:05.220
while cooking meat? You can make a charcuterie

01:11:05.220 --> 01:11:07.659
board. It's like the entry level of how to get

01:11:07.659 --> 01:11:09.199
interested in cooking, I would say. That's fair.

01:11:09.430 --> 01:11:13.970
Number nine, little bratwursts. I love me some

01:11:13.970 --> 01:11:16.890
bratwursts. When you were like Lil, I'm like

01:11:16.890 --> 01:11:22.409
Wayne. Put Lil Wayne on my plate. I shall eat

01:11:22.409 --> 01:11:27.010
his albums. No, I'm a big bratwurst guy. Yeah.

01:11:27.550 --> 01:11:29.890
And they're fantastic, and they bring me back

01:11:29.890 --> 01:11:33.029
to watching football and eating brats. Yeah.

01:11:33.250 --> 01:11:36.310
Number eight on my list is the humble chicken

01:11:36.310 --> 01:11:39.220
salad. You're talking you're talking you grill

01:11:39.220 --> 01:11:42.079
up a couple chicken breasts cut them up in a

01:11:42.079 --> 01:11:44.619
little strips and the whole making a salad I've

01:11:44.619 --> 01:11:47.939
always found is so much better than Like a restaurant

01:11:47.939 --> 01:11:52.380
salad or a store -bought salad bag. Yeah Because

01:11:52.380 --> 01:11:55.180
it tastes so much like fresher just like stuff

01:11:55.180 --> 01:11:58.159
coming out of your fridge and and going on to

01:11:58.159 --> 01:12:00.819
your plate Especially with like fresh -grilled

01:12:00.819 --> 01:12:03.199
chicken is fantastic. Oh, yeah big fan number

01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:08.600
seven tacos burritos I love Mexican food, and

01:12:08.600 --> 01:12:11.600
I love home -making Mexican food. Yeah. I always

01:12:11.600 --> 01:12:15.699
find it very tasty. Also, tortillas are just

01:12:15.699 --> 01:12:18.420
an excellent vehicle for food to arrive in my

01:12:18.420 --> 01:12:20.560
mouth. I think that's, yeah, that's a great point.

01:12:20.720 --> 01:12:22.699
Yeah. That's a great point. Oh, I got all this

01:12:22.699 --> 01:12:24.380
stuff. It looks kind of messy. Let's place it

01:12:24.380 --> 01:12:28.180
in this lovely flour or corn circular device.

01:12:28.380 --> 01:12:31.359
Right. And you just fold that shit up and right

01:12:31.359 --> 01:12:34.180
in the old pie hole. Yeah, it's so much... In

01:12:34.180 --> 01:12:37.739
fact, it's more cooth. I would argue than a bowl

01:12:37.739 --> 01:12:39.720
and a fork. It is. You just have to hold your

01:12:39.720 --> 01:12:41.939
pinky finger out. Exactly. Yeah, the pinky finger

01:12:41.939 --> 01:12:45.000
stays out and you also have less dishes to wash

01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:49.279
because it's all in a fucking tortilla. Number

01:12:49.279 --> 01:12:53.340
six, turkey tetrazzini. Oh, that's a good one.

01:12:53.380 --> 01:12:54.739
Yeah. I remember your mother used to make that

01:12:54.739 --> 01:12:56.819
quite a bit. Huge fan of that. Especially after

01:12:56.819 --> 01:12:58.739
Thanksgiving, all the leftovers. It's a great

01:12:58.739 --> 01:13:01.119
thing to do with turkey. Chalk it all into a

01:13:01.119 --> 01:13:05.119
casserole. And it's essentially a pasta bake.

01:13:05.430 --> 01:13:08.090
It's a pasta bake with Thanksgiving leftovers,

01:13:08.350 --> 01:13:12.670
and it is fantastic. Number five, grilled burgers

01:13:12.670 --> 01:13:18.210
and dogs. Mmm, yum. Fantastic. I love it. Fire

01:13:18.210 --> 01:13:22.090
up the old coal grill. One side is burgers, the

01:13:22.090 --> 01:13:24.510
other side is dog. What do you want? I want everything.

01:13:25.170 --> 01:13:27.609
Yes. I will take five of everything, please.

01:13:28.470 --> 01:13:32.229
Number four, the St. Patty's Day lunch. Yum,

01:13:32.670 --> 01:13:35.390
because dinner is Guinness and Smittix pretty

01:13:35.390 --> 01:13:37.250
much the st. Patty's day lunch. You're talking

01:13:37.250 --> 01:13:40.229
mashed potatoes. You're talking cocaine You're

01:13:40.229 --> 01:13:43.489
talking corned beef. Yes. Oh my goodness. That's

01:13:43.489 --> 01:13:45.850
where it's at. That is good stuff That's where

01:13:45.850 --> 01:13:49.390
it's at. Corned beef sandwich. Oh yeah, that's

01:13:49.390 --> 01:13:53.729
the dessert right there Number three my breakfast

01:13:53.729 --> 01:13:58.369
sandwich. It's all in my brain and I make it

01:13:58.369 --> 01:14:03.960
perfect every time it is You take the Hash brown

01:14:03.960 --> 01:14:07.800
patties, okay, that's the bread so you take two

01:14:07.800 --> 01:14:11.420
of those You get a nice sear on either side make

01:14:11.420 --> 01:14:13.579
sure they're nice and warm and that will be your

01:14:13.579 --> 01:14:18.520
bread. So then you take Sausage you get a sear

01:14:18.520 --> 01:14:22.420
on that sausage on the hash brown slice of American

01:14:22.420 --> 01:14:26.140
cheese get some you get some eggs going Right?

01:14:26.659 --> 01:14:29.720
Scrambled eggs. Boom. You kind of fold them together

01:14:29.720 --> 01:14:34.359
in a way that makes them hash brown sized. Sure.

01:14:35.020 --> 01:14:38.340
Put them on top of the sausage with cheese. Boom.

01:14:38.560 --> 01:14:41.920
Another slice of cheese. Boom. Top. Hash brown.

01:14:42.420 --> 01:14:46.739
That's the sandwich. Yum. It is fantastic. Sounds

01:14:46.739 --> 01:14:48.760
wonderful. It's potatoes, meat, eggs, and cheese,

01:14:48.800 --> 01:14:51.880
but in a way you can hold it. Yeah. That's great.

01:14:52.500 --> 01:14:55.329
I love it. It's something I concocted if anyone

01:14:55.329 --> 01:14:57.189
else says they did it before me you're lying.

01:14:57.350 --> 01:14:59.350
It's a liar You're lying because I came up with

01:14:59.350 --> 01:15:02.289
that in my brain before I ever knew anyone else

01:15:02.289 --> 01:15:06.649
did it It's impressive number two homemade mac

01:15:06.649 --> 01:15:10.149
and cheese. Oh, yeah homemade mac and cheese

01:15:10.149 --> 01:15:14.010
I have to say that it did not make my list because

01:15:14.010 --> 01:15:18.750
I'm dumb but so What I do with the mac and cheese

01:15:18.750 --> 01:15:21.069
though a lot of times is I like adding ground

01:15:21.069 --> 01:15:23.720
beef to it As you get ground beef and you just

01:15:23.720 --> 01:15:26.239
season it just right. Yeah, usually just like

01:15:26.239 --> 01:15:28.239
salt and pepper You really don't need to do a

01:15:28.239 --> 01:15:30.000
lot with the ground beef because there's just

01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:31.960
enough richness in the in the mac and cheese

01:15:31.960 --> 01:15:35.520
sure so yeah, you just take like a Half a pound

01:15:35.520 --> 01:15:37.659
of meat if it's just for you You know if you're

01:15:37.659 --> 01:15:39.300
doing it for the family get like a pound of meat

01:15:39.300 --> 01:15:41.920
and just brown that up And then cook your mac

01:15:41.920 --> 01:15:43.340
and cheese when your mac and cheese done add

01:15:43.340 --> 01:15:47.250
the beef and just mix that Oh, yeah, that's a

01:15:47.250 --> 01:15:49.930
that's a hearty meal. Fantastic. Yeah. Oh, yeah,

01:15:50.050 --> 01:15:52.909
you can even get those little Those little store

01:15:52.909 --> 01:15:56.350
-bought cans of chili. Oh sure and and put it

01:15:56.350 --> 01:15:59.409
in there make chili mac and if you under cook

01:15:59.409 --> 01:16:03.930
the noodles then Once you're done adding everything

01:16:03.930 --> 01:16:05.909
and mixing it up. The noodles are still undercooked

01:16:05.909 --> 01:16:08.430
so you can take it all out put it in a in a pan

01:16:08.779 --> 01:16:11.739
You know, cheese on top, extra breadcrumbs put

01:16:11.739 --> 01:16:14.439
in the oven. Yeah. It'll finish cooking the pasta

01:16:14.439 --> 01:16:17.520
and then it'll be nice and crispy. Sounds good.

01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:20.460
Yeah. Sounds really good. Crispy chili mac. So

01:16:20.460 --> 01:16:22.319
that's your number two? That is my number two.

01:16:22.340 --> 01:16:25.979
All right. My number ten, it's a tie at the top

01:16:25.979 --> 01:16:30.680
between shepherd's pie. Oh, yeah. And meatloaf.

01:16:31.060 --> 01:16:34.590
Shepherd's pie. Good call. Yeah, Shepard's Pie

01:16:34.590 --> 01:16:36.970
was good. Meatloaf, we always... Meatloaf was

01:16:36.970 --> 01:16:41.909
just kind of relatively simple to make, but Aiden's

01:16:41.909 --> 01:16:46.109
older sister... Alex loves meatloaf, maybe more

01:16:46.109 --> 01:16:48.409
than life itself. I think she maybe loves a dog

01:16:48.409 --> 01:16:50.569
more than meatloaf, but then like meatloaf's

01:16:50.569 --> 01:16:52.310
right there. It's like right under. It's right

01:16:52.310 --> 01:16:57.149
under her dog. And yeah, so we always had a lot

01:16:57.149 --> 01:16:58.770
of meatloaf, but the meatloaf's good, especially

01:16:58.770 --> 01:17:00.689
when you - It's fantastic. If you do a little

01:17:00.689 --> 01:17:03.529
combo job with a veggie and some mash, it's just,

01:17:03.529 --> 01:17:08.250
it's good. Pork chops is my number nine. I love

01:17:08.250 --> 01:17:11.210
a grilled pork chop, or even in the skillet,

01:17:11.670 --> 01:17:13.090
where you can just put a little bit of butter

01:17:13.090 --> 01:17:15.310
and just add some garlic and salt and pepper.

01:17:15.529 --> 01:17:17.630
Yeah, that's a good call. And you cook that up,

01:17:17.670 --> 01:17:21.609
and what's beautiful is you, and even, I'll even

01:17:21.609 --> 01:17:23.750
go as far as to say paprika pork chops because

01:17:23.750 --> 01:17:27.020
I do those, and I usually do a white rice. And

01:17:27.020 --> 01:17:29.520
what I do is I'll take the white rice and I will

01:17:29.520 --> 01:17:32.960
put it into the pan because then the white rice

01:17:32.960 --> 01:17:37.279
will soak up all that paprika pork stuff into

01:17:37.279 --> 01:17:39.699
that. And it's just, it's a really, really, really

01:17:39.699 --> 01:17:43.000
flavorful meal. Number eight, barbecue chicken.

01:17:43.520 --> 01:17:46.340
I love putting chicken on the grill. It just,

01:17:46.500 --> 01:17:50.420
it hits different. It's so, so good. You gotta

01:17:50.420 --> 01:17:52.239
watch it because it can dry out. So you have

01:17:52.239 --> 01:17:54.420
to be careful with your chicken. You don't want

01:17:54.420 --> 01:17:56.640
to undercook it because you'll be sick for, you

01:17:56.640 --> 01:17:59.659
know, seven to ten days. But in the same sense,

01:17:59.720 --> 01:18:04.239
you don't want to crisp it either. Right. Because

01:18:04.239 --> 01:18:07.399
it'll dry out pretty fast. But it comes in the

01:18:07.399 --> 01:18:10.399
prep work. So if you take your time, you put

01:18:10.399 --> 01:18:14.720
that chicken into the fridge, say you... A little

01:18:14.720 --> 01:18:18.500
marinade? Marinate it in some Italian dressing

01:18:18.500 --> 01:18:21.500
or something along those lines. Get it real moist.

01:18:22.029 --> 01:18:24.590
God, I hate that word. You get a real moist.

01:18:24.829 --> 01:18:28.430
Moisten your cock meat. Moisten your cock meat.

01:18:29.229 --> 01:18:32.649
News at 10. So you want to do that. Tonight on

my voice just being just like. I mean, you would

01:18:52.000 --> 01:18:54.119
just think like I swallowed a cheese grater.

01:18:54.439 --> 01:19:01.880
Yeah. So cheese. So yeah, there's a barbecue

01:19:01.880 --> 01:19:06.119
chicken. Just make sure you watch it. And if

01:19:06.119 --> 01:19:09.659
you if you flatten that chicken out and it's

01:19:09.659 --> 01:19:12.819
very thin, really will take no time at all. Right.

01:19:12.899 --> 01:19:15.199
Right. Will not take very long at all. Maybe

01:19:15.199 --> 01:19:18.890
a minute or two on each side. There are. Thicker

01:19:18.890 --> 01:19:20.850
chicken it takes a little bit. Yeah, and and

01:19:20.850 --> 01:19:24.130
there are for for inexperienced individuals out

01:19:24.130 --> 01:19:26.850
there not that I'm Saying you're inept or anything,

01:19:26.869 --> 01:19:29.189
but there are tools that can help you can get

01:19:29.189 --> 01:19:31.810
there are wireless Thermometers that I think

01:19:31.810 --> 01:19:35.109
yeah survive up to like 900 Fahrenheit that you

01:19:35.109 --> 01:19:37.930
can put in your meat Yeah, and then just Google

01:19:37.930 --> 01:19:40.890
like oh how long until like chicken is the internal

01:19:40.890 --> 01:19:43.350
temperature right? Yeah, yeah, and then you can

01:19:43.350 --> 01:19:46.119
just keep an eye on it and then take it off Couple

01:19:46.119 --> 01:19:48.380
degrees before because it will continue cooking

01:19:48.380 --> 01:19:49.880
cooking once you take it once you take it off

01:19:49.880 --> 01:19:51.779
So there there are tools that will help you if

01:19:51.779 --> 01:19:54.939
you're not a grill master just yet for sure But

01:19:54.939 --> 01:19:56.619
man if you take chicken off that grill, it's

01:19:56.619 --> 01:19:59.239
nice and juicy man. That's just it's baller killer

01:19:59.239 --> 01:20:02.819
Number seven stir -fry. I love stir -fry Just

01:20:02.819 --> 01:20:05.659
all the different vegetables. Oh, yeah in a protein

01:20:05.659 --> 01:20:08.739
get this water chestnuts in there miniature corn

01:20:08.739 --> 01:20:12.840
celery the Oh God I love that stuff. I don't

01:20:12.840 --> 01:20:15.750
even know what the hell it is Dude, like, are

01:20:15.750 --> 01:20:19.369
the coin plates just tiny? I don't know. I don't

01:20:19.369 --> 01:20:21.729
know. It's magic, kinda. It kinda is magic. You

01:20:21.729 --> 01:20:24.229
know? It really is. It's something special about

01:20:24.229 --> 01:20:27.689
it. It's magic. Magic from our friends in the

01:20:27.689 --> 01:20:30.090
Far East. And we appreciate that. God bless your

01:20:30.090 --> 01:20:33.130
souls. Oh, no doubt. And number six, turkey,

01:20:33.449 --> 01:20:37.369
slash Thanksgiving. Just because I know how to

01:20:37.369 --> 01:20:38.890
cook the turkey, I have so many people say, oh

01:20:38.890 --> 01:20:41.699
my god. Tarake is just so dry. And it's like,

01:20:42.220 --> 01:20:43.640
well, brother, that's because three quarters

01:20:43.640 --> 01:20:45.460
of people don't know how to cook a turkey. So

01:20:45.460 --> 01:20:48.479
I get that. But for us that do know how, that

01:20:48.479 --> 01:20:51.000
base the shit out of it in butter. Oh, yeah.

01:20:51.720 --> 01:20:54.279
And not just any butter. It's got to be Kerrygold.

01:20:54.460 --> 01:20:57.800
Well, I also use this one Italian butter. Delicia,

01:20:58.199 --> 01:21:01.140
I believe it is. Oh, OK. So if you have any Italian

01:21:01.140 --> 01:21:03.840
shops or anything by you, you can go in and they'll

01:21:03.840 --> 01:21:05.539
have this butter. So like that butter is good.

01:21:05.699 --> 01:21:08.399
Kerrygold is just. gold oh yeah is literally

01:21:08.399 --> 01:21:12.439
gold um and you literally just like rub that

01:21:12.439 --> 01:21:15.079
in is what you got to do and then when you do

01:21:15.079 --> 01:21:18.000
it you put all your seasonings under the skin

01:21:18.000 --> 01:21:20.760
put your seasonings on top of the skin i'm not

01:21:20.760 --> 01:21:22.500
going to give you all the secrets trade secrets

01:21:22.500 --> 01:21:24.520
and stuff like that but i'm going to say cover

01:21:24.520 --> 01:21:28.000
it in tinfoil because as it cooks and that butter

01:21:28.000 --> 01:21:32.439
drains off then that butter as it's bubbling

01:21:32.439 --> 01:21:35.060
up and those vapors are going to get trapped

01:21:35.060 --> 01:21:38.050
under that tinfoil So it's gonna keep everything

01:21:38.050 --> 01:21:40.229
super juicy keep the moisture in and then what

01:21:40.229 --> 01:21:42.130
I do is I'll take that tin foil off Maybe the

01:21:42.130 --> 01:21:44.130
last ten minutes just so the top gets brown yeah

01:21:44.130 --> 01:21:46.109
Yeah, because you want to you want the skin to

01:21:46.109 --> 01:21:48.630
get browned a little bit So you got to take that

01:21:48.630 --> 01:21:51.550
tin foil off at some point to to do that, but

01:21:51.550 --> 01:21:55.109
oh even stuffing I'll tell you what I can get

01:21:55.109 --> 01:21:57.390
a box of stoves top stuffing and make a meal

01:21:57.390 --> 01:21:59.369
out of it. Yeah, I'll just eat that shit Yeah,

01:21:59.369 --> 01:22:02.979
it is honestly as far as like Store bought things

01:22:02.979 --> 01:22:05.659
that cost like a dollar and ten cents. It's kind

01:22:05.659 --> 01:22:08.640
of magical It really is cuz I can eat it and

01:22:08.640 --> 01:22:10.340
be like, wow, I'm full. Yeah, that's great. Thank

01:22:10.340 --> 01:22:13.340

01:22:13.560 --> 01:22:16.920
but it may be but hear us out here's out no doubt

01:22:16.920 --> 01:22:23.300
Sponsored by stovetop and PBR. Yeah That would

01:22:23.300 --> 01:22:27.760
be so cool and a dream sponsors and as funny

01:22:27.760 --> 01:22:29.659
as that is that's probably gonna be my Thanksgiving

01:22:29.659 --> 01:22:34.550
meal anyway So yeah, but I just I dig that a

01:22:34.550 --> 01:22:36.770
little bit of celery on the side Sometimes celery

01:22:36.770 --> 01:22:38.750
with some cheese on it or something like that.

01:22:38.750 --> 01:22:42.869
That's always good. Yeah And then like I always

01:22:42.869 --> 01:22:45.869
At least last 10 11 12 years or whatever along

01:22:45.869 --> 01:22:47.869
because I just think it pairs with the turkey

01:22:47.869 --> 01:22:52.430
so perfectly is a Cheesy broccoli rice casserole.

01:22:52.430 --> 01:22:55.569
Oh, yeah, I just think it matches perfectly and

01:22:55.569 --> 01:22:57.329
it doesn't take a lot to do it it's literally

01:22:57.329 --> 01:23:00.979
like two cups of white rice and Some people say

01:23:00.979 --> 01:23:03.579
cream of mushroom. I'm not a shroom guy, but

01:23:03.579 --> 01:23:05.539
I just get the cream of celery. Yeah. What the

01:23:05.539 --> 01:23:07.159
hell's the difference? It's cream soup. So you

01:23:07.159 --> 01:23:12.619
get the cream soup and the rice and I'll take

01:23:12.619 --> 01:23:15.060
some celery and I'll just kind of dice that up

01:23:15.060 --> 01:23:18.939
and put that in there along with the broccoli

01:23:18.939 --> 01:23:25.000
and then tons of cheddar on the top. And you

01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:26.659
throw that in the oven. It is fantastic. You're

01:23:26.659 --> 01:23:29.100
good to go. It is. I love it. I really do. I

01:23:29.100 --> 01:23:31.979
would say the superior alternative to green bean

01:23:31.979 --> 01:23:34.300
casserole. I think so, too, because I'm just

01:23:34.300 --> 01:23:37.960
a spiritual successor. No, and I have to say

01:23:37.960 --> 01:23:42.720
it like your mother maybe tried a green bean

01:23:42.720 --> 01:23:44.680
from her garden one time, like literally plucked

01:23:44.680 --> 01:23:48.279
off the plant. And I told her, wow, cool. If

01:23:48.279 --> 01:23:51.199
you want me to projectile vomit across this backyard,

01:23:52.000 --> 01:23:54.699
this is the right way to do it. And she's like,

01:23:54.800 --> 01:23:56.340
no, because I told her a terrible story about

01:23:56.340 --> 01:24:00.310
my grandma. Well, your grandma, my mom. Like

01:24:00.310 --> 01:24:01.609
we didn't have green beans all the time, but

01:24:01.609 --> 01:24:03.449
once or twice a week, it was green beans. I was

01:24:03.449 --> 01:24:05.850
like, God damn it. Because it would always be

01:24:05.850 --> 01:24:08.250
out of the can. Yeah. And they were just awful.

01:24:08.569 --> 01:24:11.010
Foul. Just foul. Yeah. Like I'd put them in my

01:24:11.010 --> 01:24:13.229
mouth and just that waxiness or whatever that

01:24:13.229 --> 01:24:16.430
film is. And it literally like I would want to

01:24:16.430 --> 01:24:18.689
vomit. Like I had to choke down a couple of bites.

01:24:18.810 --> 01:24:20.869
I'm like, I can't eat these beans. And then one

01:24:20.869 --> 01:24:23.189
time I tossed cookies and I'm like, am I done

01:24:23.189 --> 01:24:24.829
with these beans? Right. I mean, are we done

01:24:24.829 --> 01:24:27.470
with this experiment? This is bad. Yeah. So your

01:24:27.470 --> 01:24:29.739
mother made me try like a fresh green bean. I'm

01:24:29.739 --> 01:24:31.000
like, that's a different vegetable. It's kind

01:24:31.000 --> 01:24:32.340
of good, yeah. It's kind of different. It's really

01:24:32.340 --> 01:24:34.439
fantastic. It's kind of different. Yeah. How

01:24:34.439 --> 01:24:38.119
can they take something that's so palatable and

01:24:38.119 --> 01:24:41.380
make it so vomitous by placing it into a can?

01:24:41.479 --> 01:24:43.579
Yeah. What do they do with the can? I don't know.

01:24:43.579 --> 01:24:45.260
What do they do in there? It's bad, though. Yeah.

01:24:45.420 --> 01:24:46.979
And then people make these green bean casserole.

01:24:47.039 --> 01:24:49.859
So I'm like, nah, I'm good. Yeah. I appreciate

01:24:49.859 --> 01:24:51.319
what you did. All the fresh green beans, fresh

01:24:51.319 --> 01:24:54.579
snap peas, you know. Right. A lot of other vegetables

01:24:54.579 --> 01:24:56.300
we can do stuff with. Yeah. Let's just, let's

01:24:56.300 --> 01:24:58.670
just. Broccoli cooks well. Yeah, you got some

01:24:58.670 --> 01:25:01.829
asparagus. Maybe put that on the flat iron a

01:25:01.829 --> 01:25:05.489
little bit with some parmesan. Oh yeah, be fine.

01:25:06.829 --> 01:25:08.430
Boy, you think we're chefs the way we're talking.

01:25:10.069 --> 01:25:14.489
Amateur, amateur chefs. Number five burger, no

01:25:14.489 --> 01:25:16.229
matter whether you make it in your frying pan

01:25:16.229 --> 01:25:18.930
or whether you do it out on the grill. Uh, it

01:25:18.930 --> 01:25:21.229
just got me a big old house burger. Oh, yeah,

01:25:21.229 --> 01:25:25.010
uh with some onions and some cheese and the whole

01:25:25.010 --> 01:25:28.310
thing. It's it's it's just awesome Yes, and like

01:25:28.310 --> 01:25:30.390
quality bread like fine like if you're gonna

01:25:30.390 --> 01:25:32.489
do it up Even if you got company coming over

01:25:32.489 --> 01:25:35.149
or whatever. It's just like The bread makes it

01:25:35.149 --> 01:25:37.069
you could get some cheap ass bread. Yeah, and

01:25:37.069 --> 01:25:39.319
it'll be fine But like if you're putting a good

01:25:39.319 --> 01:25:41.180
burger together and you're trying to show off

01:25:41.180 --> 01:25:43.140
a little bit, get yourself like that pretzel

01:25:43.140 --> 01:25:46.199
bun. Oh, yeah. Chala bread. Fancy Kaiser roll

01:25:46.199 --> 01:25:48.100
or something. Hell yeah. Yeah. Do it up. And

01:25:48.100 --> 01:25:50.520
it's just like that's the cherry on top. Hell

01:25:50.520 --> 01:25:53.579
yeah, dude. Number four, tacos. I'm taco burrito.

01:25:53.600 --> 01:25:56.600
I'm right there with you. It doesn't take a lot

01:25:56.600 --> 01:25:59.430
of money. Well, I mean ground beef is a little

01:25:59.430 --> 01:26:01.369
bit expensive, but that's probably your most

01:26:01.369 --> 01:26:04.090
expensive part of that, right? But like you can

01:26:04.090 --> 01:26:06.189
you can pick up some seasoning packets if you

01:26:06.189 --> 01:26:08.710
want or you got some chili powder at home along

01:26:08.710 --> 01:26:11.289
with some pepper and some other things. But yeah,

01:26:11.289 --> 01:26:13.050
you can just chop up all the vegetables. Just

01:26:13.050 --> 01:26:15.350
put everything in there and just grab your flour

01:26:15.350 --> 01:26:17.470
core tortillas and go to town. Oh, yeah. It's

01:26:17.470 --> 01:26:20.569
that easy and it's good. Tortillas are the vehicle

01:26:20.569 --> 01:26:23.970
of choice. Hell yeah. Number three, pasta bake.

01:26:24.289 --> 01:26:25.829
It's just once again, it's another one of those

01:26:25.829 --> 01:26:29.350
simple things. Pasta's cheap and you cook it

01:26:29.350 --> 01:26:33.050
and you can do it non -meat if you want. So you

01:26:33.050 --> 01:26:35.829
can just cook the pasta, put it in a pan and

01:26:35.829 --> 01:26:38.149
just put some different cheeses in there. I just

01:26:38.149 --> 01:26:41.340
did this recent pasta bake. that I actually gave

01:26:41.340 --> 01:26:43.000
some to my friend Jess because she was not eating.

01:26:43.119 --> 01:26:44.840
She said, I don't eat any meals. And so I literally,

01:26:44.840 --> 01:26:46.779
I just popped in one day, dropped it off. I was

01:26:46.779 --> 01:26:49.819
like, see you later. I was like, eat, eat, eat,

01:26:50.020 --> 01:26:52.699
please eat, Papa, eat. So I literally dropped

01:26:52.699 --> 01:26:55.819
it off to her so she could eat. But basically.

01:26:57.570 --> 01:27:01.390
It had ground up Italian sausage, which I browned

01:27:01.390 --> 01:27:03.689
in a pan and put a lot of seasonings and spices

01:27:03.689 --> 01:27:06.890
in there. And then I diced up red, green, and

01:27:06.890 --> 01:27:09.529
yellow pepper. Nice. So that was in there. And

01:27:09.529 --> 01:27:11.270
then there was the pasta. And then I bought this

01:27:11.270 --> 01:27:13.930
three cheese combo. And so I put everything in

01:27:13.930 --> 01:27:16.529
the pan, put the cheese on the top. It was money.

01:27:16.970 --> 01:27:18.949
It sounds fantastic. Absolute money. But you

01:27:18.949 --> 01:27:20.470
can do a lot of different things with pasta bakes.

01:27:20.510 --> 01:27:22.670
You could do a pasta bake if you don't like the

01:27:22.670 --> 01:27:25.489
marinara, which is what I used. I used a spicy

01:27:25.489 --> 01:27:29.409
marinara. You can use Alfredo if you want. So

01:27:29.409 --> 01:27:32.510
you could do Alfredo with some pasta, and you

01:27:32.510 --> 01:27:35.989
could do, like you could probably do broccoli

01:27:35.989 --> 01:27:38.560
and grilled chicken. and then put some cheese

01:27:38.560 --> 01:27:41.000
on the top, like that would be, so you can really

01:27:41.000 --> 01:27:43.800
play with the pasta bakes. You can do vodka sauce.

01:27:44.260 --> 01:27:46.859
Well, there's a restaurant in town, we're in

01:27:46.859 --> 01:27:49.079
Valparaiso, Indiana by the way, not that that

01:27:49.079 --> 01:27:52.720
really matters at all, but we're in Valparaiso,

01:27:52.899 --> 01:27:56.119
Indiana, and there's a restaurant here, and they

01:27:56.119 --> 01:27:59.420
are famous for their vodka chicken, it is phenomenal.

01:28:00.539 --> 01:28:03.619
So yeah, vodka chicken is fire, there's no doubt.

01:28:04.180 --> 01:28:07.979
And my number two, steak. You give me any cut,

01:28:08.140 --> 01:28:12.619
I will make it money. I'm a big fan of strip.

01:28:12.859 --> 01:28:16.239
The bone -in ribeye is really good. Porterhouse

01:28:16.239 --> 01:28:20.300
is money. I've never cooked a tomahawk, although

01:28:20.300 --> 01:28:23.779
I've had one before. Pretty amazing. I feel like

01:28:23.779 --> 01:28:26.100
Fred Flintstone when I'm eating this thing. Yeah.

01:28:26.960 --> 01:28:29.920
There's something very. Archaic and caveman that

01:28:29.920 --> 01:28:32.340
just brings out I literally want to just pick

01:28:32.340 --> 01:28:35.539
up that big bone and just know yeah, just grunt

01:28:35.539 --> 01:28:40.800
Sir would you like a refill? I'll take that as

01:28:40.800 --> 01:28:45.079
no I will leave you to your meat But yeah, just

01:28:45.079 --> 01:28:47.880
any sort of steak and then just different things

01:28:47.880 --> 01:28:49.680
to go with it whether you get some french fries,

01:28:49.720 --> 01:28:53.159
maybe a baked potato You know that sort of stuff,

01:28:53.220 --> 01:28:56.729
but Yeah. Steak, baby. Steak. I can't believe

01:28:56.729 --> 01:29:01.029
I forgot steak. Steak, I'll add to my honorable

01:29:01.029 --> 01:29:03.149
mentions list. Fix it in post. Fix it in post,

01:29:03.329 --> 01:29:05.909
exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Steak is fantastic. My number

01:29:05.909 --> 01:29:09.170
one was indeed on your list, and that is Thanksgiving

01:29:09.170 --> 01:29:11.670
dinner. Mm -hmm. I always find it a shame we

01:29:11.670 --> 01:29:14.310
only eat it once a year. Right. Because we're

01:29:14.310 --> 01:29:15.989
like, oh, that was so great. And it's like, why

01:29:15.989 --> 01:29:18.289
do we only do this once a year? Turkey's probably

01:29:18.289 --> 01:29:21.079
cheap in July. Right. Right. Then, of course,

01:29:21.119 --> 01:29:23.260
find ways to get creative with the leftovers,

01:29:23.579 --> 01:29:25.720
such as the Tetrazzini previously mentioned.

01:29:25.720 --> 01:29:28.420
Yep. Oh, yeah. Or the sandwiches we've got to

01:29:28.420 --> 01:29:29.539
make. It's a good old turkey sandwich, yeah.

01:29:29.800 --> 01:29:31.920
Turkey Sammy. And then you can put the potatoes

01:29:31.920 --> 01:29:35.319
on the Sammy with the stuffing. Oh, yeah. Shit.

01:29:35.439 --> 01:29:39.359
Oh, yeah. Or like a turkey bowl. Yes. Just put

01:29:39.359 --> 01:29:41.260
everything into a bowl and a little bit of gravy

01:29:41.260 --> 01:29:44.140
and go to town. We did it before KFC did. We

01:29:44.140 --> 01:29:46.520
did. 100%. So yeah, Thanksgiving dinner's got

01:29:46.520 --> 01:29:49.260
to be up there. Just the turkey and the stuffing.

01:29:49.949 --> 01:29:54.810
and the gravy and the potatoes and of course

01:29:54.810 --> 01:30:00.689
the obligatory eggnog yes and and it's just really

01:30:00.689 --> 01:30:04.310
really great it is it's really great it's got

01:30:04.310 --> 01:30:07.470
to be my my number one i love that i love it

01:30:07.470 --> 01:30:11.270
so much my number one and i think it's because

01:30:11.270 --> 01:30:16.149
i'm it's probably the best thing i make and there's

01:30:16.149 --> 01:30:18.590
like many different ways i make it uh that's

01:30:18.590 --> 01:30:21.409
fried chicken And I think everybody that's had

01:30:21.409 --> 01:30:25.449
my fried chicken loves it. I do it several different

01:30:25.449 --> 01:30:30.390
ways. And it's great. And you just have the fried

01:30:30.390 --> 01:30:34.090
chicken with a side of mashed potatoes and some

01:30:34.090 --> 01:30:36.310
corn. I mean, that's just, that's a meal. That's

01:30:36.310 --> 01:30:39.869
killer. That's a killer meal. Damn. I can't believe

01:30:39.869 --> 01:30:42.210
I didn't have fried chicken. Ah, dude. You missed

01:30:42.210 --> 01:30:46.090
steak and fried chicken. Yeah. Oopsie. Oopsie.

01:30:46.220 --> 01:30:49.220
Fix and post. Fix and post. Yeah, that fried

01:30:49.220 --> 01:30:51.460
chicken's money, though. It is fantastic. It

01:30:51.460 --> 01:30:55.260
really is. It's just, it's... God, I think I

01:30:55.260 --> 01:30:56.680
have to make some fried chicken. Yeah, yeah,

01:30:56.680 --> 01:30:59.979
yeah. Got some eggs at home. Got flour. I could

01:30:59.979 --> 01:31:02.159
make a roof I wanted to. Yeah, there you go.

01:31:02.739 --> 01:31:05.020
Oh, yeah. I could fry that up. I got some garlic.

01:31:05.119 --> 01:31:07.619
I could make the garlic butter. We're planning

01:31:07.619 --> 01:31:10.060
live on air. We're planning live on air. I'm

01:31:10.060 --> 01:31:12.140
literally like the male version of Paul. I'm

01:31:12.140 --> 01:31:16.710
Paul Dean. Yeah. Yeah. Butter. Just without the

01:31:16.710 --> 01:31:21.050
racism. Without the racism. Adipolidine. Definitely

01:31:21.050 --> 01:31:24.010
the calorie count, for sure. And the love of

01:31:24.010 --> 01:31:26.510
butter. And love. Oh, God. Butter's flavor, baby.

01:31:26.699 --> 01:31:30.199
Got to use it. All right. Well, that is our top

01:31:30.199 --> 01:31:32.300
10 list. If there's anything we missed or maybe

01:31:32.300 --> 01:31:34.680
there's just things you prefer, definitely share

01:31:34.680 --> 01:31:37.199
that with us. We would love to hear it for sure.

01:31:38.300 --> 01:31:40.159
Now is about the time Aang goes down the Reddit

01:31:40.159 --> 01:31:42.000
rabbit hole. And this is something we really

01:31:42.000 --> 01:31:45.199
started getting back into in season four because

01:31:45.199 --> 01:31:49.229
it's just, it's so interesting. Reddit is vast.

01:31:49.430 --> 01:31:53.289
It is a universe and you can go and go down that

01:31:53.289 --> 01:31:56.270
hole and not come back up. So number one, I'm

01:31:56.270 --> 01:31:58.729
glad you're here. We almost had to send our Spelunker

01:31:58.729 --> 01:32:01.270
friend to go get you. So what do you got? All

01:32:01.270 --> 01:32:03.729
right. This week on the Reddit rabbit hole, I

01:32:03.729 --> 01:32:06.989
found a neat looking graph that I kind of wanted

01:32:06.989 --> 01:32:12.710
to bring up almost PSA style. And then I did

01:32:12.710 --> 01:32:15.989
a little more research and I found an accompanying

01:32:17.000 --> 01:32:22.359
Graph so this is my red rabbit hole PSA of the

01:32:22.359 --> 01:32:26.500
day The top ten words you need to stop or you

01:32:26.500 --> 01:32:29.979
yeah, you need to stop misspelling and miss using

01:32:29.979 --> 01:32:39.899
a lot a Lot not a word. I know a lot a a space

01:32:39.899 --> 01:32:46.100
lot Definitely does not have an A in it. If you

01:32:46.100 --> 01:32:48.760
misspell it, your autocorrect will likely say

01:32:48.760 --> 01:32:52.060
defiantly. That has an A in it. That has an A

01:32:52.060 --> 01:32:56.699
in it. Definitely is D -E -F -I -N -I -T -E -L

01:32:56.699 --> 01:32:59.659
-Y. It has the word finite in it. Finite, yes.

01:33:00.220 --> 01:33:04.380
And then the difference between it's and it apostrophe

01:33:04.380 --> 01:33:09.539
S, it's. It is versus it's. It's. Which is possessive.

01:33:10.189 --> 01:33:16.550
And then then and then Yep, then being a time

01:33:16.550 --> 01:33:20.229
Yeah, and then being used for comparison. Yes,

01:33:20.970 --> 01:33:24.109
correct It got you got you just got to know effect

01:33:24.109 --> 01:33:28.630
a fact in effect. Yeah another big one. Yep Yeah

01:33:28.630 --> 01:33:33.189
effect is a verb so If you feel like I'm talking

01:33:33.189 --> 01:33:36.050
down to you, that's probably affecting your mental

01:33:36.050 --> 01:33:40.850
state with an A, effect. And the effect of that,

01:33:41.010 --> 01:33:44.510
effect, is that you might be mad. You might be

01:33:44.510 --> 01:33:48.649
mad. A very common one, there, there, and there.

01:33:49.909 --> 01:33:53.550
There, with an apostrophe, is they are. They

01:33:53.550 --> 01:33:59.180
are, yes. There, T -H -E -I -R, is... They possessive

01:33:59.180 --> 01:34:02.659
possess right and then there is like a place

01:34:02.659 --> 01:34:06.079
no going over there. They're all spelled differently

01:34:06.079 --> 01:34:11.439
lose and loose I've seen way too often on Twitter

01:34:11.439 --> 01:34:14.659
or Instagram or wherever the fuck else lose has

01:34:14.659 --> 01:34:18.960
1o It means you did not win Loose means it's

01:34:18.960 --> 01:34:21.880
not tight that has two O's and if you misspell

01:34:21.880 --> 01:34:24.140
it, that's not tight. You know what I'm saying?

01:34:24.659 --> 01:34:28.930
Weather is what it's like outside Whether or

01:34:28.930 --> 01:34:32.050
not you believe it. Ah, my guy, my guy. That

01:34:32.050 --> 01:34:37.770
has an H in there. Okay. The word weird is one

01:34:37.770 --> 01:34:40.390
of the handful of words that's spelled with an

01:34:40.390 --> 01:34:44.970
I before the E. It is not W -E -I -R -D, even

01:34:44.970 --> 01:34:46.210
though that's probably what you were taught.

01:34:46.390 --> 01:34:49.590
I before E. Not the case. And then of course

01:34:49.590 --> 01:34:53.250
your and your. Your possessive. That's a common

01:34:53.250 --> 01:34:57.090
one. You are very... Very common. And then, so

01:34:57.090 --> 01:34:59.649
those are the top ten. And then I found this

01:34:59.649 --> 01:35:02.750
article from Reader's Digest, the most misspelled

01:35:02.750 --> 01:35:07.569
word in every state. Oh, no way. Which I found

01:35:07.569 --> 01:35:11.850
fascinating. So we'll just start at the top,

01:35:12.369 --> 01:35:15.029
alphabetically. Alabama doesn't know how to spell

01:35:15.029 --> 01:35:18.970

01:35:27.430 --> 01:35:32.170
a really uncommon word anyway. Yeah. Very strange.

01:35:33.529 --> 01:35:38.250
Arkansas doesn't know how to spell column. It's

01:35:38.250 --> 01:35:42.909

or a row. And column has an N -N. M -N at the

01:35:48.170 --> 01:35:53.399
end, yep. California, exceed. Exceed. Which seems

01:35:53.399 --> 01:35:55.680
like a really questionable one because that's

01:35:55.680 --> 01:35:57.960

our break, Aidan's going to tell us what he missed

01:40:09.369 --> 01:40:12.069
while we were sleeping. A lot of times he does

01:40:12.069 --> 01:40:14.369
that research. It could be a game, it could be

01:40:14.369 --> 01:40:17.229
a YouTuber, it could be a movie, a TV show, a

01:40:17.229 --> 01:40:19.890
book. It could be anything that might have just

01:40:19.890 --> 01:40:22.970
kind of slipped under that old radar. So what

01:40:22.970 --> 01:40:24.329
did you find that we might have missed, Aidan?

01:40:24.590 --> 01:40:26.369
Well, this week we've talked a lot about mental

01:40:26.369 --> 01:40:28.649
health and we've talked a lot about the internet,

01:40:28.989 --> 01:40:31.090
how those two kind of interplay. Oh, for sure.

01:40:31.109 --> 01:40:33.729
I wanted to bring up a website today. Oh, okay.

01:40:34.060 --> 01:40:39.140
It is free. It is fun. I've spent a fair amount

01:40:39.140 --> 01:40:41.100
of time on it. A couple of my YouTube videos

01:40:41.100 --> 01:40:44.119
have been about it. And that is CoolMathGames

01:40:44.119 --> 01:40:49.340

01:40:49.340 --> 01:40:52.840
an online web portal hosting HTML and Flash games,

01:40:52.979 --> 01:40:56.100
even though I think Adobe killed Flash. So I

01:40:56.100 --> 01:40:57.840
don't know how those still run. Yeah, I don't

01:40:57.840 --> 01:41:01.220
know. They're on some kind of antiquated or archived

01:41:01.220 --> 01:41:04.739
version of it. I'm not sure. Games that are targeted

01:41:04.739 --> 01:41:06.859
at children and young adults although I still

01:41:06.859 --> 01:41:09.760
find them fun. So yeah, who cares? You know fun

01:41:09.760 --> 01:41:15.279

that it will only host games the operators believe

01:41:25.819 --> 01:41:29.039

to teach kids how to code in Roblox and Minecraft

01:41:40.260 --> 01:41:43.760
which is kind of fun because I mean coding is

01:41:43.760 --> 01:41:45.680
an important thing to learn if you're interested

01:41:45.680 --> 01:41:49.460
in that that kind of Genre. Oh for sure. But

01:41:49.460 --> 01:41:52.420

01:41:52.420 --> 01:41:55.460
using an ad blocker if you go on it because I

01:41:55.460 --> 01:41:57.479
mean granted the website makes money through

01:41:58.130 --> 01:42:01.170
Ads and subscriptions. Yeah, and if you don't

01:42:01.170 --> 01:42:03.270
want that you can just turn an ad block on. I'm

01:42:03.270 --> 01:42:06.090

01:42:06.090 --> 01:42:09.210
place to like play flash games and not have to

01:42:09.210 --> 01:42:11.989

Mark Maloney along with Aidan Maloney and our

01:42:58.960 --> 01:43:02.020
beer review of this week I'll let Aidan kind

01:43:02.020 --> 01:43:06.079
of get into it. It is a Warpig's Imperial Geezer.

01:43:06.100 --> 01:43:09.760
Go for it, man. The official beer review Warpig's

01:43:09.760 --> 01:43:13.319
USA Brewing which I believe Warpig's is a collaboration

01:43:13.319 --> 01:43:17.199
brewing effort between oh Who is it between?

01:43:17.359 --> 01:43:27.170
I believe it's between hmm It is between McKellar

01:43:27.170 --> 01:43:31.329
Brewing, which is out of Europe, and Three Floyd's

01:43:31.329 --> 01:43:37.319
Brewing, which is out of Lake County. Indiana.

01:43:37.619 --> 01:43:39.960
Should have known that immediately from the design

01:43:39.960 --> 01:43:42.979
of that can. Yes. So this is out of Lake County,

01:43:42.979 --> 01:43:46.260
Indiana, the regional brewery War Pigs, a collaboration

01:43:46.260 --> 01:43:49.060
brewery, if you will. The Imperial Geezer, 9

01:43:49.060 --> 01:43:56.220
% ABV. It's a strong brew. Imperial slash double

01:43:56.220 --> 01:44:03.409
New England hazy ale, if you will. What it says

01:44:03.409 --> 01:44:06.670
on the can is one does not simply ascend the

01:44:06.670 --> 01:44:10.710
galactic throne. It must be seized Begin by gathering

01:44:10.710 --> 01:44:13.369
your forces with an abundance of tropical and

01:44:13.369 --> 01:44:15.689
citrus character. It should not be difficult.

01:44:16.170 --> 01:44:20.340
I Love that. It sounds very official It sounds

01:44:20.340 --> 01:44:22.199
like they're doing something here. They're definitely

01:44:22.199 --> 01:44:23.979
doing something. So we'll be ranking this on

01:44:23.979 --> 01:44:26.920
a scale from 0 to 5 on how much we like it. We'll

01:44:26.920 --> 01:44:28.479
give you our tasting notes. And of course, let

01:44:28.479 --> 01:44:30.260
us know in the comments what you are enjoying

01:44:30.260 --> 01:44:32.819
today. All right, here we go. Saloncha. Cheers,

01:44:32.880 --> 01:44:42.979
Saloncha. Oh, man. Oh, that's good. Now, I will

01:44:42.979 --> 01:44:46.420
preface my statement by saying I'm an APA guy.

01:44:47.000 --> 01:44:50.560
I am not. Yes. Yeah, that's the dichotomy here.

01:44:51.380 --> 01:44:55.140
I'm an IPA guy, and this is fantastic to me.

01:44:55.199 --> 01:45:00.060
It is slightly piney. You get the hot bitterness.

01:45:00.579 --> 01:45:03.579
Grapefruit comes through heavy. I'm getting big

01:45:03.579 --> 01:45:06.439
grapefruit on this. Little touch of sweetness.

01:45:06.500 --> 01:45:08.720
It's not sweet, but there's a touch of sweetness

01:45:08.720 --> 01:45:11.979
in there. This is right up my alley. This is

01:45:11.979 --> 01:45:18.949
very tasty. Yeah, it, as it turns out... I apparently

01:45:18.949 --> 01:45:22.210
because we use an app here called the untapped

01:45:22.210 --> 01:45:25.289
app in which we grade and do all those things

01:45:25.289 --> 01:45:27.510
make this all official and helps us keep track

01:45:27.510 --> 01:45:29.869
of a lot of beers that that we've tried here

01:45:29.869 --> 01:45:34.970
on the show and Even in not being the IPA guy

01:45:34.970 --> 01:45:41.149
some IPAs Are a little tamer at the finish sure

01:45:41.149 --> 01:45:44.170
and I prefer those a lot more Like without the

01:45:44.170 --> 01:45:47.550
lasting tongue feel. Right, exactly. And this

01:45:47.550 --> 01:45:51.670
particular one, I tried before, didn't remember,

01:45:51.909 --> 01:45:53.710
until Aidan alerted me like two seconds before

01:45:53.710 --> 01:45:57.130
it went live. And he said, oh, you've done this

01:45:57.130 --> 01:46:00.350
one. I said, oh, have I? I said, did we do it

01:46:00.350 --> 01:46:03.550
on the show? I don't remember it. Yeah. And then

01:46:03.550 --> 01:46:05.350
just judging by the picture, because sometimes

01:46:05.350 --> 01:46:07.350
I'll take a picture of the can. He's like, oh,

01:46:07.409 --> 01:46:09.489
no, it looks like you're at Franklin House. The

01:46:09.489 --> 01:46:12.569
local pub. Which is, it's our local dive bar,

01:46:12.710 --> 01:46:16.829
which is a lovely place. Yeah, so apparently

01:46:16.829 --> 01:46:20.109
I tried it. And so I was like, OK, well, we're

01:46:20.109 --> 01:46:24.430
doing this again. Maybe I was a few beers in.

01:46:24.510 --> 01:46:28.390
Who knows? So we are going to judge this fairly

01:46:28.390 --> 01:46:32.689
and kind of see if I'm still. With my original

01:46:32.689 --> 01:46:35.149
brain. Right, right. With, of course, our underlying

01:46:35.149 --> 01:46:40.789
biases where, you know, you may prefer the loggers

01:46:40.789 --> 01:46:44.470
and stouts and porters and, you know, IPA Belgians

01:46:44.470 --> 01:46:46.489
and, of course, the stouts and porters myself

01:46:46.489 --> 01:46:51.050
as well. Yeah. But this is really tasty. It's

01:46:51.050 --> 01:46:54.149
full -bodied and it does, I will admit, it does

01:46:54.149 --> 01:46:56.289
leave a little bit of that hoppy tongue feel.

01:46:56.609 --> 01:46:59.569
Yeah. A little bitters left on the tongue, which

01:46:59.569 --> 01:47:03.710
I'm... Usually fine with I mean I drink my coffee

01:47:03.710 --> 01:47:07.069
black and that leaves the same kind of bitterness

01:47:07.069 --> 01:47:10.510
I drink my tea without honey or milk does the

01:47:10.510 --> 01:47:13.069
same thing so it's it's just what my taste buds

01:47:13.069 --> 01:47:18.010
enjoy I enjoy this I Think I think I'm gonna

01:47:18.010 --> 01:47:23.010
go Boy, what do I do my flavor notes by the way?

01:47:23.689 --> 01:47:27.899
I? Grapefruit II hoppy citrus and bitter are

01:47:27.899 --> 01:47:31.720
the top flavor notes I'm adding to my check -in

01:47:31.720 --> 01:47:35.319
here on this app. I think I'll go 3 .5 out of

01:47:35.319 --> 01:47:39.760
5. I enjoy this. OK, 3 .5 out of 5. 3 .5 out

01:47:39.760 --> 01:47:50.060
of 5. I liked it, to a point. I feel like for

01:47:50.060 --> 01:47:55.300
me, that little bit of aftertaste that you get

01:47:57.369 --> 01:48:02.550
With an IPA It's a little bit strong for me Overstays

01:48:02.550 --> 01:48:05.229
its welcome. It does it does. I mean it really

01:48:05.229 --> 01:48:08.649
feels like You know, I'm here and then someone's

01:48:08.649 --> 01:48:11.090
like hey mark and I turn around they hit me in

01:48:11.090 --> 01:48:13.350
the face with a Christmas tree So I'm kind of

01:48:13.350 --> 01:48:16.090
like I'm kind of like did I mean I hope you like

01:48:16.090 --> 01:48:21.210
furs if you like furs now Douglas fruits So not

01:48:21.210 --> 01:48:25.649
the evergreen no, no, so yeah, I'm kind of like

01:48:25.649 --> 01:48:28.600
battling that As it turns out, my original grade

01:48:28.600 --> 01:48:32.699
was a 275, and I think that's fair. Could I go

01:48:32.699 --> 01:48:36.760
up to a three? I could, but just that finish,

01:48:37.619 --> 01:48:40.720
if that finish wasn't quite as strong, I'd probably

01:48:40.720 --> 01:48:46.060
be up about 325, but just like what's there on

01:48:46.060 --> 01:48:49.500
the palette after I'm done drinking it, it just

01:48:49.500 --> 01:48:52.920
sticks for a while. Sure. And that's the part

01:48:52.920 --> 01:48:57.380
of IPAs I'm not a huge fan of. So as Aidan stated,

01:48:57.680 --> 01:49:00.640
you know, it's just like, it's kind of, it's

01:49:00.640 --> 01:49:03.920
100 % what you prefer. Sure. And so for Aidan,

01:49:04.060 --> 01:49:05.960
like he was mentioning, you know, black coffee,

01:49:06.199 --> 01:49:09.020
it's like he takes his men. Exactly. Precisely.

01:49:09.720 --> 01:49:16.439
Precisely. Indubitably. Quite. Quite. So we just

01:49:16.439 --> 01:49:19.579
have different tastes there. So maybe where he

01:49:19.579 --> 01:49:22.560
enjoys the bitters a little bit more than I do,

01:49:23.479 --> 01:49:26.380
that could be it. But like I said, it's not bad.

01:49:26.579 --> 01:49:28.279
I'm enjoying the beer. It's just that little

01:49:28.279 --> 01:49:30.779
bit of aftertaste that instead of a three, two,

01:49:30.859 --> 01:49:32.819
a three or a three, two, five, it's just, it's

01:49:32.819 --> 01:49:34.760
two, seven, five. Two, seven, five. That's totally

01:49:34.760 --> 01:49:36.659
fair. Yeah. Oh yeah. That's totally fair. And

01:49:36.659 --> 01:49:38.439
it's, I think it's important too for the show

01:49:38.439 --> 01:49:40.560
we do it like this because then you get two different

01:49:40.560 --> 01:49:43.500
pallets and then you can maybe average the scores

01:49:43.500 --> 01:49:48.880
out, you know, to balance the biases. Yes. And

01:49:48.880 --> 01:49:51.000
find the true score. And find the true score.

01:49:51.239 --> 01:49:53.819
Yeah. And most times, Aiden and I are pretty

01:49:53.819 --> 01:49:56.279
close anyway. Yeah. So like, he'll be like a

01:49:56.279 --> 01:49:59.039
3 -5, and I'll be like a 3 -7 -5. Or he'll be

01:49:59.039 --> 01:50:02.960
like a 3 -2 -5, and I'll be like a 3 -5. So we're

01:50:02.960 --> 01:50:05.859
pretty darn close. I think this has probably

01:50:05.859 --> 01:50:10.880
been our widest margin. A 0 .5. Yeah. Of difference.

01:50:11.100 --> 01:50:13.880
Or a 0 .75 difference. 0 .75. Yeah. I think this

01:50:13.880 --> 01:50:20.619
has been our widest. margin thus far. But I give

01:50:20.619 --> 01:50:24.020
it like an A plus for can design. It's so cool.

01:50:24.199 --> 01:50:29.659
The can design looks awesome. And it doesn't

01:50:29.659 --> 01:50:31.939
surprise me because you said War Pigs is part

01:50:31.939 --> 01:50:34.319
three Floyd's. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. And they usually

01:50:34.319 --> 01:50:37.699
do awesome design work on their cans. It's almost

01:50:37.699 --> 01:50:41.520
like if you have a human being do art. It's.

01:50:41.470 --> 01:50:44.210
Really good. It's it's really good. Yeah, take

01:50:44.210 --> 01:50:47.310
that tech bros. Yeah, no doubt. No doubt about

01:50:47.310 --> 01:50:50.090
it Well, you see my AI designed my background

01:50:50.090 --> 01:50:52.649
photo. Isn't it really crazy? Isn't it cool?

01:50:52.989 --> 01:50:57.050
No go back and play for it. Yeah, right So with

01:50:57.050 --> 01:51:01.949
all your other virgin friends, so That's a callback

01:51:01.949 --> 01:51:04.489
of like 20 minutes ago, right? You were there.

01:51:04.810 --> 01:51:06.970
You were there. You know what we're talking about.

01:51:07.890 --> 01:51:10.789
So anyway, yeah, give it a try. If you're in

01:51:10.789 --> 01:51:12.689
Northwest Indiana, I know you have access to

01:51:12.689 --> 01:51:15.750
it, probably throughout Chicagoland as well.

01:51:15.930 --> 01:51:17.829
I'm not sure what their distribution is, but

01:51:17.829 --> 01:51:20.189
it's pretty great. It's blatant. Give it a shot.

01:51:20.670 --> 01:51:24.609
Yeah. That brings us to the world of weird news

01:51:24.609 --> 01:51:27.710
to finish out the show this week. And I'll start

01:51:27.710 --> 01:51:31.760
with mine. Mine is titled town pleads for a turn

01:51:31.760 --> 01:51:35.989
of beloved local mannequin As they should. As

01:51:35.989 --> 01:51:39.710
they should. Now this is from United Press, number

01:51:39.710 --> 01:51:42.930
12. Tourism officials in a small South African

01:51:42.930 --> 01:51:46.470
town are asking for tips about the disappearance

01:51:46.470 --> 01:51:50.609
of a beloved local landmark, a mannequin swimming

01:51:50.609 --> 01:51:54.069
in the dam just outside town. Who would take

01:51:54.069 --> 01:52:00.010
that? We'll find out maybe. New Bethesda Tourism

01:52:00.010 --> 01:52:03.979
said on social media that the swimsuit clad mannequin

01:52:03.979 --> 01:52:07.359
known as Beverly vanished from her usual spot

01:52:07.359 --> 01:52:12.060
in the water of a farm dam on the road. Beverly

01:52:12.060 --> 01:52:15.500
isn't just any mannequin, she's been a quirky

01:52:15.500 --> 01:52:18.680
much -loved part of our little town's charm,"

01:52:18.680 --> 01:52:23.960
the post said. Rhino grief what a great name.

01:52:23.960 --> 01:52:26.699
It's awesome a local sculptor Well that checks

01:52:26.699 --> 01:52:29.739
out a local sculptor and artist placed Beverly

01:52:29.739 --> 01:52:33.520
in the dam about two years ago After he was inspired

01:52:33.520 --> 01:52:36.859
by a Facebook joke about skinny dipping in the

01:52:36.859 --> 01:52:41.479
small damn All right, my man on a trip to Port

01:52:41.479 --> 01:52:44.460
Elizabeth I found a mannequin in a secondhand

01:52:44.460 --> 01:52:47.979
shop over there grief told eyewitness news. I

01:52:47.979 --> 01:52:51.270
thought okay. This is Beverly She's going to

01:52:51.270 --> 01:52:55.569
be the one. Now we might be getting creepy. I

01:52:55.569 --> 01:53:00.710
don't know. We'll figure some things out. I don't

01:53:00.710 --> 01:53:02.649
know what Rhino's vibe is. We're going to find

01:53:02.649 --> 01:53:05.770
out. I brought her back to my studio, dressed

01:53:05.770 --> 01:53:09.390
her, made a stand so she doesn't fall over in

01:53:09.390 --> 01:53:16.210
the dam, and drowned. And to put her there about

01:53:16.210 --> 01:53:20.250
two years ago. Since then she become a real presence

01:53:20.250 --> 01:53:23.369
in the area. Grief said he suspects it would

01:53:23.369 --> 01:53:26.189
have taken multiple people to move Beverly due

01:53:26.189 --> 01:53:29.760
to the heft of her concrete base. Oh man. If

01:53:29.760 --> 01:53:32.260
anyone has seen Beverly or knows where she might

01:53:32.260 --> 01:53:35.920
be, Beverly's at a milk carton clearly, or knows

01:53:35.920 --> 01:53:38.119
where she might be, please send us a message

01:53:38.119 --> 01:53:41.840
or contact us. New Bethesda Tourism Center. Oh

01:53:41.840 --> 01:53:45.279
my goodness. Yeah, this is a shout out. If you

01:53:45.279 --> 01:53:47.659
guys, you lovely listeners know where Beverly

01:53:47.659 --> 01:53:52.199
is, please. Please. Yes, please let the new Bethesda

01:53:52.199 --> 01:53:55.319
tourism board let us know or or tell us send

01:53:55.319 --> 01:53:57.600
us your pictures with her Yeah, exactly unless

01:53:57.600 --> 01:53:59.119
you're doing freaky shit. I don't want to say

01:53:59.119 --> 01:54:00.479
I don't want to see that How'd you get the block

01:54:00.479 --> 01:54:02.539
of concrete out of there? That's what I want

01:54:02.539 --> 01:54:04.899
to know I want to know the logistics like I'm

01:54:04.899 --> 01:54:08.119
guessing it took people. Oh, yeah Or like a like

01:54:08.119 --> 01:54:11.699
a tow truck with a winch on it or something Honestly,

01:54:11.819 --> 01:54:14.659
I don't want like people do freaky shit. That

01:54:14.659 --> 01:54:18.119
just would just irritate me and bother me I literally

01:54:18.119 --> 01:54:21.619
want like someone to have like a gag in her mouth

01:54:21.619 --> 01:54:25.180
and a blindfold with like a ransom note, like

01:54:25.180 --> 01:54:27.520
holding a gun to her hat. I mean, that would

01:54:27.520 --> 01:54:29.739
be awesome. If you want your mannequin back,

01:54:30.180 --> 01:54:33.380
wire five Bitcoin to this address. I think that

01:54:33.380 --> 01:54:37.060
would be stellar. That would be amazing. So follow

01:54:37.060 --> 01:54:39.140
up story. We'll keep an eye on that one. Please

01:54:39.140 --> 01:54:42.539
let us know. Whatcha got? Uh, this week I found

01:54:42.539 --> 01:54:46.119
a little, a neat little story. Florida woman.

01:54:46.539 --> 01:54:50.159
Ah, here we go. Florida woman tells police wind

01:54:50.159 --> 01:54:55.079
blew cocaine into her handbag. I love it. This

01:54:55.079 --> 01:54:58.460
is a story from 2018. A Florida woman arrested

01:54:58.460 --> 01:55:01.260
on suspicion of drug possession said the cocaine

01:55:01.260 --> 01:55:04.399
must, the cocaine must have blown into her handbag

01:55:04.399 --> 01:55:11.539
by the wind. Oh no. Karachino Posey, 26, who

01:55:11.539 --> 01:55:13.680
was one of two passengers in the car that was

01:55:13.680 --> 01:55:16.920
stopped by Fort Pierce police on the 21st of

01:55:16.920 --> 01:55:21.479
March, quote, I don't know anything about any

01:55:21.479 --> 01:55:24.539
cocaine, Ms. Posey told the officers. It's a

01:55:24.539 --> 01:55:26.800
windy day. It must have flown through the window

01:55:26.800 --> 01:55:32.000
and into my purse. Clearly. Clearly. Rock solid

01:55:32.000 --> 01:55:34.520
alibi, by the way. No doubt. According to the

01:55:34.520 --> 01:55:36.140
network, the vehicle was swerving on the road

01:55:36.140 --> 01:55:39.460
when officers decided to pull it over. After

01:55:39.460 --> 01:55:42.279
smelling cannabis from the car, police said they

01:55:42.279 --> 01:55:45.500
searched the car and found that drug, cannabis,

01:55:45.779 --> 01:55:48.699
as well as the cocaine inside a handbag on Miss

01:55:48.699 --> 01:55:51.359
Posey's lap. Oh, nice. She admitted the marijuana

01:55:51.359 --> 01:55:54.039
was hers, but denied knowing anything about the

01:55:54.039 --> 01:55:58.140
cocaine. She was, of course, taken to the county

01:55:58.140 --> 01:56:03.380
jail on charges of possession of both. Outstanding.

01:56:03.380 --> 01:56:06.930
But that wind, those wind gusts, man. Fierce.

01:56:07.069 --> 01:56:09.010
They can just carry that cocaine right into your

01:56:09.010 --> 01:56:10.930
handbag that was on your lap. Well, here's what's

01:56:10.930 --> 01:56:13.489
hilarious. It's like if it's in kind of one of

01:56:13.489 --> 01:56:16.149
those teeny tiny little little bags where it's

01:56:16.149 --> 01:56:18.189
just a couple of bumps or whatever. She's probably

01:56:18.189 --> 01:56:19.750
got like a freaking eight ball in there. There's

01:56:19.750 --> 01:56:25.109
a wind just right in there. She's got a kilo

01:56:25.109 --> 01:56:27.590
sitting in there. Oh my goodness, I couldn't

01:56:27.590 --> 01:56:29.750
tell you how that got there. Boy, that wind.

01:56:30.170 --> 01:56:33.750
Something fierce. Gale force today. Oh, that

01:56:33.750 --> 01:56:36.890
is hilarious. Any lawyers out there want to chime

01:56:36.890 --> 01:56:40.430
in? How rock solid is this defense? Because I'm

01:56:40.430 --> 01:56:43.189
sold. I'm sold. I'd have just let her go. I'd

01:56:43.189 --> 01:56:44.909
have been like, you know what? You got me. Oh,

01:56:44.930 --> 01:56:47.050
yeah. I mean, if I'm the judge, I let her cook,

01:56:47.069 --> 01:56:50.090
man. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Let her represent

01:56:50.090 --> 01:56:53.149
herself. I need to hear this entire story, please.

01:56:53.630 --> 01:56:56.510
You see, we were walking along and then it just

01:56:56.510 --> 01:56:58.689
big gust of wind and my back got heavier, but

01:56:58.689 --> 01:57:01.170
I didn't think anything of it. And then I get

01:57:01.170 --> 01:57:03.369
pulled over and then he's like, what's this?

01:57:03.470 --> 01:57:06.670
I'm like, I don't know. That's a very creative

01:57:06.670 --> 01:57:10.810
story. Time served. Yeah, exactly. You're free

01:57:10.810 --> 01:57:15.409
to go. You're free to go. LOL. Well, that's it

01:57:15.409 --> 01:57:17.850
for this week's show. Thank you so much for listening

01:57:17.850 --> 01:57:20.569
in and putting up with my voice. Things got a

01:57:20.569 --> 01:57:22.850
little better as we moved along, which is good.

01:57:23.050 --> 01:57:25.489
Sometimes it goes the other way. The beer self

01:57:25.489 --> 01:57:28.489
heals. It really does, so maybe I need to rethink

01:57:28.489 --> 01:57:30.750
the old Imperial Geyser score. Exactly, give

01:57:30.750 --> 01:57:33.369
it an extra 2 -5. Give it an extra 2 -5, for

01:57:33.369 --> 01:57:36.489
sure. Anyway, it's Mark Maloney, co -host, Aidan

01:57:36.489 --> 01:57:40.550
