WEBVTT 00:00:08.980 --> 00:00:12.779 Hey everybody, welcome to the Mark Mo Show Podcast. 00:00:13.289 --> 00:00:18.329 This is season four, episode ten. Finale of this 00:00:18.329 --> 00:00:20.829 season, and we take a little mini break over 00:00:20.829 --> 00:00:24.070 the holidays. And this one's called Traditions. 00:00:24.469 --> 00:00:27.530 It's gonna be a fun one. And you can find us 00:00:27.530 --> 00:00:31.010 on all podcast platforms, YouTube. I would like 00:00:31.010 --> 00:00:34.729 to introduce my co -host, producer, all -around 00:00:34.729 --> 00:00:38.380 fucking Giva guy. Aiden Maloney, how are you, 00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:42.219 dude? My man, I'm chillaxing. Are you? Chillaxing 00:00:42.219 --> 00:00:45.100 after a rough day. The weather's been insane. 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:50.060 Warm and rain and then like 10 degrees. It's 00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:52.280 messed up. Yeah, I clock out one day, it's 53 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.820 degrees. I clock in the next morning, negative 00:00:55.820 --> 00:00:59.060 three windchill. I'm like, what are we doing? 00:00:59.619 --> 00:01:01.880 I don't know. My body can't get used to the cold 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.200 if we're randomly blessed with 40s and 50s. Not 00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.680 that I want to get used to the cold, but that's 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.980 just a part of winter. I think the weather is 00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:12.560 just trying to match the insane vibe of our country 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:14.439 right now. Oh, yeah. I think they're just like, 00:01:14.739 --> 00:01:17.540 well. Well, here you go. There you go. You're 00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:19.799 expecting that. Ha, psych. There's your roller 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.079 coaster, boys. Yeah, no doubt. So yeah, it's 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.299 been interesting. Yeah, it is something, man. 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:27.959 And I guess in a couple of days, it's supposed 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.939 to be back in the 40s again, so. I'm fine with 00:01:30.939 --> 00:01:33.200 that. It's supposed to be a warm Christmas here. 00:01:33.620 --> 00:01:35.920 Uh, 50 degrees, I think. In the Midwest, yeah. 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.079 50 degrees. Uh, even like, um, the Southern Midwest. 00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:43.180 So like, downstate Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, 00:01:43.379 --> 00:01:44.879 Texas. Like, it's supposed to be in the 60s. 00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:48.159 Wow. You know, when it gets to the 60s on Christmas 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.340 Day, you know where's my grill. Right. We are 00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:54.219 grilling steaks on Christmas Day, because we 00:01:54.219 --> 00:01:57.239 can. Oh, man, that's an idea. That is an idea, 00:01:57.420 --> 00:01:59.340 isn't it? Yeah. It's not a bad one. Food for 00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:02.640 thought. I know, food and eating and a steak. 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.680 Wow. There's a reason they pay us the big bucks. 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.300 Yeah. Good night, everybody. But to this super 00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:13.400 all -star next to me has his own YouTube gaming 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.919 channel called Aidan Spelled the Right Way. And 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.319 he plays a lot of PC gaming content, GeoGuessr, 00:02:18.340 --> 00:02:20.860 PolyBridge, Observation Duty, and much, much 00:02:20.860 --> 00:02:24.129 more each and every week. So Aidan, what can 00:02:24.129 --> 00:02:27.110 we expect? I know you kind of dove back into 00:02:27.110 --> 00:02:30.030 a game that you hadn't played in a while. Yeah, 00:02:30.189 --> 00:02:32.409 yeah. I've been playing, of course, Observation 00:02:32.409 --> 00:02:34.810 Duty 8 since it came out. That's right in my 00:02:34.810 --> 00:02:39.689 wheelhouse of video games that are fun and spooky, 00:02:39.770 --> 00:02:42.650 and also audience can interact and play along 00:02:42.650 --> 00:02:45.650 as well. And another one that's not spooky is 00:02:45.650 --> 00:02:48.590 GeoGasser. That's right. Which is a really, really 00:02:48.590 --> 00:02:50.849 fun one. We played it on AK -209, and then I 00:02:50.849 --> 00:02:54.469 had my As you said, I believe triumphant return 00:02:54.469 --> 00:02:57.009 indeed to it on my channel, which I thought was 00:02:57.009 --> 00:03:01.069 fantastic Yeah, oh for sure got me thinking hmm 00:03:01.069 --> 00:03:07.090 What if I make my own map? Right because each 00:03:07.090 --> 00:03:09.849 and every time we get and play it We kind of 00:03:09.849 --> 00:03:12.449 toggle around all these thousands and thousands 00:03:12.449 --> 00:03:16.150 of maps Oh, yes from and different types of games 00:03:16.150 --> 00:03:19.719 and things and it's really neat but Yeah, like 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.800 how have we not put two and two together to this 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.280 point to be like, hey, why don't we make our 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.860 own? Yeah. So I made my own with, of course, 00:03:27.379 --> 00:03:29.620 collaborations from all my family members. It's 00:03:29.620 --> 00:03:32.500 just titled What I Know. So it's places I've 00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:38.180 been to, it's places I go frequently, all across 00:03:38.180 --> 00:03:41.539 the nation, at least where I've been. So I think 00:03:41.539 --> 00:03:44.060 that could be fun to play and maybe have you 00:03:44.060 --> 00:03:48.639 play it. And I'll just see what you know of what 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.780 I know. Okay. And I'll just be the man with the 00:03:52.780 --> 00:03:55.719 controller. Ah, I like it. I like it. I think 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.500 that's a good idea because after... And after 00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:03.300 this, I will kind of put my own criteria together. 00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:05.879 And then maybe do one of my own down the road 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.539 here. Yeah, that'd be fun. And then you find 00:04:08.539 --> 00:04:11.060 beautiful people, of course, get on to GeoGuessr 00:04:11.060 --> 00:04:15.139 and join us. Yeah, absolutely. I don't know if, 00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:18.259 I believe GeoGuessr allows you to play like one 00:04:18.259 --> 00:04:21.040 or two maps a day for free. And then there's 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.079 the paid version where you get unlimited access 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:24.579 and you can make your own maps and all that. 00:04:24.620 --> 00:04:27.910 Yeah. So yeah, we will put the... the link to 00:04:27.910 --> 00:04:31.089 the map in our YouTube video when we play it. 00:04:31.470 --> 00:04:33.269 Absolutely. For sure. Yeah. It sounds fun. It's 00:04:33.269 --> 00:04:36.649 exciting. It's good stuff. It is. So, you know, 00:04:36.850 --> 00:04:39.149 and it also, I guess, worth mentioning, because 00:04:39.149 --> 00:04:41.850 I even brought it up a second ago, is AK219. 00:04:41.930 --> 00:04:45.050 That's our collab gaming channel. So it's kind 00:04:45.050 --> 00:04:51.100 of the craziness, silliness. hilarity sometimes 00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:54.639 of this show and we bring that to gaming and 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.959 it's one reason why like Observation Duty and 00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.519 GeoGuess are two games that we play often because 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.480 it allows us to kind of interact and have fun 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.160 and talk as we're playing the game. Right. There 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.019 are some games where you just really have to 00:05:07.019 --> 00:05:08.699 be so tuned in it's a little bit more difficult 00:05:08.699 --> 00:05:11.839 to do that. Right. So we'll continue to research 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.899 and look for games where Number one, they can 00:05:15.899 --> 00:05:20.220 be funny. They can be funny. And that we can 00:05:20.220 --> 00:05:22.180 kind of interact as we play them. Yeah, I like 00:05:22.180 --> 00:05:24.379 that. Yeah, that'll be a lot of fun. But AK -219 00:05:24.379 --> 00:05:29.579 is our collab, so look that up. Oh, and my radio 00:05:29.579 --> 00:05:35.259 show. It's still going. There may be an end date 00:05:35.259 --> 00:05:37.699 coming up soon that is yet to be decided, but 00:05:37.699 --> 00:05:41.189 I'm really heavily leaning towards that. with 00:05:41.189 --> 00:05:45.110 an eye towards internet radio, potentially in 00:05:45.110 --> 00:05:47.129 the spring. I think that's what I would like 00:05:47.129 --> 00:05:50.509 to do. Once again, you get out from FCC, you 00:05:50.509 --> 00:05:53.949 get out from other stuff, and you can just do 00:05:53.949 --> 00:05:57.029 what you want to do. I kind of dig that and have 00:05:57.029 --> 00:06:00.790 been wanting to do that. For now, it is on wvlp 00:06:00.790 --> 00:06:04.430 .org. That's where the stream's at. You can also 00:06:04.430 --> 00:06:06.629 find it under TuneIn App on your handheld device. 00:06:07.700 --> 00:06:11.740 Let's see, other than that. Is that all the housekeeping? 00:06:12.300 --> 00:06:14.620 Probably Alexa, if you want to yell at her. Oh 00:06:14.620 --> 00:06:18.540 my goodness. Say hey, play after hours and maybe 00:06:18.540 --> 00:06:22.199 not yell at her. Maybe just kindly suggest. Sure. 00:06:22.579 --> 00:06:24.399 AI's a little weird this day. Yeah, you know, 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:26.779 I feel like, you know, you're going to yell at 00:06:26.779 --> 00:06:28.000 her and then she's going to turn all the lights 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:29.439 in your house off. Yeah, it's going to be like, 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.579 Zeebsorp, accessing Planeteer. What is it called? 00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:37.240 Palantir? Oh, Palantir, yeah. Calling up Palantir. 00:06:37.699 --> 00:06:42.000 Beep boop boop. Oh, fuck. Mom, help me. My mixer's 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.180 trying to kill me. I yelled at Alex again, didn't 00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:48.300 you? Yeah, we don't need that. We don't need 00:06:48.300 --> 00:06:50.480 that at all. But anyway, check out After Hours. 00:06:50.899 --> 00:06:53.040 I do it Tuesday nights at 9 p .m. Central Standard 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.800 Time, and then Friday at 8 p .m. Central Standard 00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:00.360 Time. So check that out if you want. Play some 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.279 alt rock, which is, I think the last five to 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.500 ten years, they've just had some great music. 00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:10.199 Popping off. Popping off. And some could argue 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:14.459 even before that. even maybe the turn of into 00:07:14.459 --> 00:07:17.800 2k you could say there's some great music but 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.040 it's been great because I've just it's been a 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.500 little different I did heavy metal for a long 00:07:21.500 --> 00:07:24.100 time and I still love heavy metal don't get me 00:07:24.100 --> 00:07:26.399 wrong but you know you sit there and you play 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:28.399 it and you play it and you play it and I just 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.000 started listening to more alt rock kind of locally 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.139 at some of the bars and I'd always ask people 00:07:33.139 --> 00:07:35.779 be like what is that who is that yeah and the 00:07:35.779 --> 00:07:38.459 more I kept asking I'm like I think I need to 00:07:38.459 --> 00:07:41.600 start playing this, because I'm digging it. And 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.560 people in their 20s and 30s are digging it. So 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.759 I'm always looking to expand the brand. So I 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.000 thought, you know what? I really love the sound. 00:07:50.060 --> 00:07:52.300 So I think we're going to change that up. And 00:07:52.300 --> 00:07:54.339 it's easy for me to incorporate Celtic punk, 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.889 which I love too. your tossers, your Flogging 00:07:57.889 --> 00:08:00.389 Molly, your Dropkick Murphy, kind of all those 00:08:00.389 --> 00:08:03.449 bands. Genres play well together. They do. Yeah, 00:08:03.449 --> 00:08:05.209 they do. They're very similar. Well, they're 00:08:05.209 --> 00:08:07.649 often at the... I was at Ride Fest over the summer 00:08:07.649 --> 00:08:11.050 and Dropkick Murphy was there with All Time Low 00:08:11.050 --> 00:08:15.449 and Jack White. So, yeah, they're kind of two 00:08:15.449 --> 00:08:17.529 slightly different flavors that go very well 00:08:17.529 --> 00:08:19.970 together, I think. Can you even chuck grunge 00:08:19.970 --> 00:08:21.970 in there? Although not... Which I do sometimes. 00:08:22.310 --> 00:08:24.699 Yeah, not many bands played... not many grunge 00:08:24.699 --> 00:08:29.399 bands left that i'm aware of no uh i don't want 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.100 to say it's dead because it's not uh sound garden 00:08:32.100 --> 00:08:36.919 still tours without uh their original lead singer 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:40.179 sadly um i believe alison change does the same 00:08:40.179 --> 00:08:44.600 thing oh right uh i think billy corrigan is smashing 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.679 pumpkins i think he has been doing this tour 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.039 he was just in chicago or like this one man tour 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.110 where he does this kind of orchestral take on 00:08:54.110 --> 00:08:56.070 a lot of the Smashing Pumpkin stuff. Oh, that's 00:08:56.070 --> 00:08:58.330 interesting. Which is kind of neat. So they're 00:08:58.330 --> 00:09:00.269 still out there, out and about, but once again 00:09:00.269 --> 00:09:03.750 I think that's the grunge plays into those two 00:09:03.750 --> 00:09:06.610 other genres, I think. Sure. Pretty well, you 00:09:06.610 --> 00:09:09.850 know, so there's a lot of shows. Well, I'll incorporate 00:09:09.850 --> 00:09:12.990 like some Soundgarden off Bad Motorfinger. Yeah. 00:09:13.009 --> 00:09:14.690 Or, you know, just... A little Alice in Chains. 00:09:14.789 --> 00:09:16.470 A little Alice in Chains, a little Screaming 00:09:16.470 --> 00:09:18.610 Trees, something like that, and it just, it all 00:09:18.610 --> 00:09:21.399 plays well together. So we have... uh we have 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.019 we have a lot of fun we play some good music 00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:27.399 so if you want check it out for sure and uh you 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:30.779 know in christmas season it's upon us that it 00:09:30.779 --> 00:09:34.960 is indeed it is and and there's a lot of interesting 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.759 and weird celebrations and traditions for everyone 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.799 and I don't know if you've heard of a guy named 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:44.799 Krampus. Oh, I'm very familiar. That's my guy. 00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:48.200 We go way back. I bet. It's like, oh, man, we 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:54.100 have tea. Krampus backwards is sup, Mark. So 00:09:54.100 --> 00:09:55.740 we should open the show with that. Honestly, 00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.879 he just said that. And I'm like, why would he? 00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:03.000 Holy shit, he's right. Sup, Mark. I love that. 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:07.419 So in Austria.

Bakers uphold the tradition by 00:11:59.570 --> 00:12:04.029 making salty cakes using salt instead of sugar 00:12:04.029 --> 00:12:07.409 to play a trick on unsuspecting customers. Wow, 00:12:07.570 --> 00:12:10.509 that's great. Can you imagine all these sweets 00:12:10.509 --> 00:12:12.370 and treats, and they mix a couple of those in 00:12:12.370 --> 00:12:14.370 there, and you grab one and it's like, ah!

Now, I didn't know this, but when I did 00:12:37.980 --> 00:12:41.019 the research, I'm like, oh man, one Christmas 00:12:41.019 --> 00:12:45.279 I want to fly to Tokyo and go to a KFC.

That would 00:12:50.220 --> 00:12:54.200 be unbelievable. Ever since an insanely successful 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.659 KFC holiday campaign in 1974, while we tuck in 00:12:58.659 --> 00:13:01.799 to our ham or turkey to celebrate the holidays, 00:13:02.539 --> 00:13:05.220 Japanese households enjoy Kentucky Fried Chicken. 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.480 That's awesome. It's so popular that the prices 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.899 skyrocket on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, 00:13:11.899 --> 00:13:15.440 and people have to place pre -orders to get their 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:19.870 family buckets of KFC. Wowee.

Honestly, you can't blame them. I love 00:13:29.149 --> 00:13:30.909 it. Yeah, I love that for them. Wouldn't it be 00:13:30.909 --> 00:13:33.210 amazing if we took all of these and just incorporated 00:13:33.210 --> 00:13:36.649 them into our holiday? Just like big old thing 00:13:36.649 --> 00:13:38.570 at Krumpus holding a kid by his ankles while 00:13:38.570 --> 00:13:40.090 we're sitting there munching on fried chicken. 00:13:40.750 --> 00:13:43.769 Eating a salty donut.

Whether you like them 00:13:51.129 --> 00:13:53.210 or you hate them, I just think they're weird. 00:13:53.529 --> 00:13:56.049 They're shaped like an actual cane, right? Right. 00:13:56.090 --> 00:13:57.870 And it's just like, how the hell do you eat it? 00:13:57.889 --> 00:13:59.750 You put the one end in your mouth, and it's just 00:13:59.750 --> 00:14:02.450 like, it's just too big. Right. And then the 00:14:02.450 --> 00:14:04.870 other end, and it's kind of like a cigarette, 00:14:04.990 --> 00:14:06.970 but then, like, you get the whole hooky thing. 00:14:07.169 --> 00:14:09.750 Yeah, and unless you leave some of the plastic 00:14:09.750 --> 00:14:12.289 on, there's no good way to grasp the candy cane. 00:14:12.309 --> 00:14:13.830 And your fingers get - Without getting tacky 00:14:13.830 --> 00:14:16.029 on the thingies.

Your mother would be. I haven't 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.879 tried it, so I can't make a determination as 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.440 such. There are people that eat fried insects. 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:49.779 Yeah. I am not one of them. No. I think I've 00:14:49.779 --> 00:14:55.159 tried a few. Maybe, I don't even recall.

Enjoyed in like Europe or Asia or 00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:57.380 sure because it's different yeah Like his eggnog 00:21:57.380 --> 00:22:01.079 just a North American thing it might be because 00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.779 leave it to Americans to create eggnog and then 00:22:03.779 --> 00:22:07.839 go You know it would even make this better. Oh, 00:22:07.859 --> 00:22:10.779 it's that little little bourbon bourbon. Maybe 00:22:10.779 --> 00:22:13.900 some rum Yeah, I think that would be just delightful. 00:22:13.900 --> 00:22:17.579 It's like we put the egg yolks in the milk put 00:22:17.579 --> 00:22:21.200 in the sugar and the booze It's like magical. 00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:24.839 Don't forget the nutmeg. Yeah, how can I get 00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:27.240 through this holiday with some eggnog and cookies 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:30.359 and all that? Hmm, let me think. I'm gonna get 00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.119 fucked up. Right. What can we put in this eggnog? 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:35.779 Don't mind if I do. Don't mind if I do. Cue the 00:22:35.779 --> 00:22:39.539 Clark Griswold rant as he's throwing back the 00:22:39.539 --> 00:22:42.059 eggnog. Is that Billy's fourth glass of egg? 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:46.480 Hey, don't you count my eggnog. You watch out 00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:51.319 for the ewe -cats. You watch ewe -cats. In campus, 00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:54.779 they're coming for you. Yeah, man, I'm telling 00:22:54.779 --> 00:22:57.220 you. But yeah, there's just some... You know, 00:22:57.220 --> 00:22:59.000 we need to liven it up. Like, little does Billy 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:01.319 know he's just drinking Dean's eggnog. He's just 00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:02.640 drinking Deeds, that's all there is. It's like 00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.400 a total placebo effect. That would be amazing. 00:23:06.299 --> 00:23:09.190 Your wife would be like, hey, um... Is he drinking 00:23:09.190 --> 00:23:11.369 spit? No, it's just regular. I just told him 00:23:11.369 --> 00:23:15.490 about a spike. Kid's just a dork. But you know, 00:23:15.769 --> 00:23:17.950 I think we need to liven up our traditions. Yeah. 00:23:17.950 --> 00:23:20.829 A little bit. Like, I need more, I need the essence 00:23:20.829 --> 00:23:23.029 of evil. There should be like one master gift 00:23:23.029 --> 00:23:25.470 that is just like an awesome gift. Especially 00:23:25.470 --> 00:23:27.329 if you have multiple children. Because then what 00:23:27.329 --> 00:23:28.730 you do is you can take in the backyard and just 00:23:28.730 --> 00:23:30.750 have a Hunger Games. Right. Oh yeah. And the 00:23:30.750 --> 00:23:33.369 surviving kid gets the gift. Right. The first 00:23:33.369 --> 00:23:36.509 one not unconscious. The last standing. Right. 00:23:36.690 --> 00:23:39.930 That's yours now. That's it. If we wait for Krampus 00:23:39.930 --> 00:23:44.630 to scoop these ones up. Right, exactly. You'll 00:23:44.630 --> 00:23:49.250 cat, you may take them. All yours. Our sacrifice, 00:23:49.390 --> 00:23:52.329 too. Right. That's awesome. Yeah, I don't know. 00:23:52.410 --> 00:23:55.950 I don't know what other weird little things there 00:23:55.950 --> 00:23:59.509 are out there that we do. It is fascinating, 00:23:59.589 --> 00:24:04.589 though. Like, I imagine places where, well, then 00:24:04.589 --> 00:24:08.150 again, artificial trees exist. But I was just 00:24:08.150 --> 00:24:10.250 thinking like you remember those old like Corona 00:24:10.250 --> 00:24:12.289 beer commercials where they like put the Christmas 00:24:12.289 --> 00:24:19.549 lights on the palm tree Yeah Switch and do they 00:24:19.549 --> 00:24:21.970 really do that they put Christmas lights on palm 00:24:21.970 --> 00:24:25.569 trees in like tropical places Being that I lived 00:24:25.569 --> 00:24:28.029 in a tropical place for a year. You're mr. Florida 00:24:28.029 --> 00:24:32.029 man. I am and on a day like today I wish I was 00:24:32.029 --> 00:24:35.579 love that There isn't much I love about that 00:24:35.579 --> 00:24:39.420 place, but the weather in the winter, early spring. 00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:42.759 Mwah, chef's kiss. God bless. Just amazing. Yeah, 00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:45.480 they, um, typically, like in the commercial, 00:24:45.819 --> 00:24:49.220 they show it actually on the leaves. Yeah. They 00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:52.660 don't do that. What they do is they, like, corkscrew 00:24:52.660 --> 00:24:55.740 wrap it from the base to almost the top. Oh, 00:24:55.740 --> 00:24:57.660 sure. That's kind of how they, they do those. 00:24:57.660 --> 00:25:00.180 Gotcha. Yeah. Okay. That checks out then. Mm 00:25:00.180 --> 00:25:03.589 -hmm. Interesante. It's very interesting. But 00:25:03.589 --> 00:25:05.670 if there's any foreign listeners, anyone out 00:25:05.670 --> 00:25:09.029 in Curacao or Russia, Bulgaria, anyone checking 00:25:09.029 --> 00:25:11.730 in from out there. Our peeps. Let us know. Is 00:25:11.730 --> 00:25:14.630 an eggnog a thing for you? I'm so curious if 00:25:14.630 --> 00:25:17.410 that's just like an Americano flavor. Or do you 00:25:17.410 --> 00:25:19.730 have another drink of sorts that we don't know 00:25:19.730 --> 00:25:22.789 about? Right. Well, in Mother Russia, we drink 00:25:22.789 --> 00:25:25.109 vodka straight. You drink vodka. What do you 00:25:25.109 --> 00:25:28.640 drink at Christmas? we also drink vodka straight 00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:32.339 no need to say twice no need to say twice we 00:25:32.339 --> 00:25:35.000 drink the vodka we drink vodka it's like god 00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:38.259 bless you that's awesome it's like i i really 00:25:38.259 --> 00:25:41.779 respect that that's amazing but anyway if you 00:25:41.779 --> 00:25:44.299 have different traditions whether you're outside 00:25:44.299 --> 00:25:46.200 of the united states or you're inside the united 00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:49.640 states the the amazing thing about our country 00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:55.240 is it is one country but so many different types 00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:58.160 of people, you know, you got, you know, people 00:25:58.160 --> 00:25:59.759 in the south, but then the people in the south 00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:02.079 aren't exactly like the people from Texas. And, 00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:03.819 you know, the people on the west coast are just 00:26:03.819 --> 00:26:05.079 a little bit different than those that live in 00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:07.779 the mountain region. And Midwest is just kind 00:26:07.779 --> 00:26:11.480 of its own thing. It's a vibe. It's a vibe. In 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:14.130 the east coast, they have like... You can get 00:26:14.130 --> 00:26:15.890 like in New York, you have like three different 00:26:15.890 --> 00:26:18.650 ways to speak. Right. You know, and then Boston, 00:26:18.789 --> 00:26:21.049 you park your car in the yard. Yeah. Right. You 00:26:21.049 --> 00:26:23.890 have that. But even with all of them, and even, 00:26:23.890 --> 00:26:26.910 you know, Minnesota, you know, it's almost Canadian. 00:26:27.210 --> 00:26:30.220 It's almost it's it's like. the Americans that 00:26:30.220 --> 00:26:31.740 tried to be as Canadian as possible. All right, 00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:33.000 we're gonna try to speak like them and play a 00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:35.799 lot of hockey. So they can. To be fair, they're 00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:37.740 kind of good at both. They're kind of good at 00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:39.819 both. They're kind of good at both, to be fair. 00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:44.660 And then like up by Maine and all the like, they 00:26:44.660 --> 00:26:47.180 speak differently. It's all lobster people. They're 00:26:47.180 --> 00:26:49.720 lobster people. Lobster people. Yeah, it's just 00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:53.220 like, it's a little bit like the Boston accent. 00:26:53.369 --> 00:26:56.289 Although they're just a little bit harder because 00:26:56.289 --> 00:27:00.410 their winters. Yeah, it can be rough I I heard 00:27:00.410 --> 00:27:02.890 a fascinating thing too that people in Boston 00:27:02.890 --> 00:27:07.869 and then up in Maine as well Don't Like like 00:27:07.869 --> 00:27:10.710 speak like they do yeah without emphasizing the 00:27:10.710 --> 00:27:13.690 letter R on like car or butter or things like 00:27:13.690 --> 00:27:16.730 that Yeah, because that came from England. Yeah, 00:27:16.789 --> 00:27:19.839 where they don't emphasize like It's, it's buh 00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:21.660 -uh. You put it in the water bowl. You put it 00:27:21.660 --> 00:27:24.539 in the water bowl. Yeah, it's, they don't emphasize 00:27:24.539 --> 00:27:27.420 like we're one of the only countries or, yeah, 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.000 one of the only countries, us and Canada. Yeah. 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.740 And excluding New England and Boston, like we're 00:27:33.740 --> 00:27:35.339 one of the only ones that would say like butter. 00:27:36.220 --> 00:27:39.140 Even though the R is clearly there. There. Butter, 00:27:39.420 --> 00:27:41.920 car. It's a sweet - Why would you, why would 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:43.500 you add the R if you're not gonna say it? We 00:27:43.500 --> 00:27:45.559 acknowledge that it's there, and damn it, we're 00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:47.410 gonna say it. We're gonna say it. We are going 00:27:47.410 --> 00:27:50.190 to say it. But anyway, yeah, if you have different 00:27:50.190 --> 00:27:52.170 traditions and things like that, whether you're 00:27:52.170 --> 00:27:54.390 in the US or outside, hit us up. Hit us up on 00:27:54.390 --> 00:27:58.710 the socials. Let us know. We're happy to check 00:27:58.710 --> 00:28:02.150 that out and chat about it for sure. Maybe you'll 00:28:02.150 --> 00:28:04.430 teach us something. Certainly. That's why we 00:28:04.430 --> 00:28:08.990 do what we do. We're certain. So all right, what 00:28:08.990 --> 00:28:13.029 we're going to do is we're going to take a quick 00:28:13.029 --> 00:28:25.940 break and come back with some Carpe Diem.

You know, 00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:03.980 like for example, you say, hey, Mark Mosho, I 00:29:03.980 --> 00:29:05.980 have a question for you, to which I might say, 00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:11.480 ha, whatever.

You know, we've got a good 00:29:46.380 --> 00:29:50.119 friend who actually checks in a lot. Very, very 00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:53.099 influential in Carpe Diem's. His name is Benjamin 00:29:53.099 --> 00:29:57.500 Franklin. Yes. And they put his face on some 00:29:57.500 --> 00:29:59.700 weird little notes, but we love these weird little 00:29:59.700 --> 00:30:02.839 notes. We do, we do. I believe he used to fly 00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:04.640 kites with turkeys or something. I don't know. 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:10.730 Fly kites in Turkey? Yeah. Wow. The Thanksgiving 00:30:10.730 --> 00:30:13.289 dish. Hey, they spell it that way. Hey. I didn't 00:30:13.289 --> 00:30:18.670 tell them to. Uh -uh. But anyway, any rate, I 00:30:18.670 --> 00:30:21.730 have some DMs here. Oh my goodness. I do. The 00:30:21.730 --> 00:30:23.630 first one I haven't heard from her in a while, 00:30:23.769 --> 00:30:27.289 at Barfly Betty. Hey. Hello, boys. I have a few 00:30:27.289 --> 00:30:29.630 friends that would love a bottle of liquor for 00:30:29.630 --> 00:30:32.210 the holidays. I have a friend who loves bourbon. 00:30:32.430 --> 00:30:34.410 I have one who loves Irish whiskey and another 00:30:34.410 --> 00:30:40.630 who likes gin. Any ideas? Ooh. You just get one 00:30:40.630 --> 00:30:43.069 of everything. Let's get one of everything. Yeah, 00:30:43.789 --> 00:30:47.109 and then like you you you find one they like 00:30:47.109 --> 00:30:52.950 right and then and as you Keep them all on it 00:30:52.950 --> 00:30:55.609 for yourself. Yeah, right. You just go to the 00:30:55.609 --> 00:30:57.250 liquor store Be like I would like one of everything 00:30:57.250 --> 00:31:00.869 please trust me. I'm just doing gifts Yes, and 00:31:00.869 --> 00:31:02.609 then if it pains out of pains out if it doesn't 00:31:02.609 --> 00:31:05.670 any You'll probably need a new cabinet to fill 00:31:05.670 --> 00:31:09.109 stuff up with I would say so I would say so I'm 00:31:09.109 --> 00:31:11.809 a huge makers mark fan makers is great It's a 00:31:11.809 --> 00:31:13.410 great one. It's kind of a decorative looking 00:31:13.410 --> 00:31:15.529 bottle anyway, so you're getting a good product, 00:31:15.549 --> 00:31:18.710 and it's kind of a fancy bottle Yeah, so I'd 00:31:18.710 --> 00:31:23.630 say you could probably do that in terms of gin 00:31:23.630 --> 00:31:26.410 Kind of aviation, but then there's that one Irish 00:31:26.410 --> 00:31:32.220 one Irish gunpowder Is it Glennon gun the gunpowder? 00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:33.920 Yep. Yep. Yep. Yeah one, but then I'm thinking 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:36.420 like a Glennon Dow or something to you Okay, 00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.619 they have one so either one of those I think 00:31:38.619 --> 00:31:41.640 would be fine Irish whiskey you can't go wrong 00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:43.880 with Jamo, especially when they do like their 00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:47.480 their cask series Stout cask was great out cask 00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:51.180 was really good. So I think those are all All 00:31:51.180 --> 00:31:54.839 very solid. Yeah In terms of bourbon, I like 00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:56.720 the makers pick. There's another one. I like 00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.210 it's called tin cup Which I believe is an American 00:32:01.210 --> 00:32:03.869 bourbon as well. Which I think is redundant because 00:32:03.869 --> 00:32:07.210 I think bourbon is an American product. But yeah, 00:32:07.289 --> 00:32:10.789 tin cup is fantastic. I really like it. And then, 00:32:11.049 --> 00:32:13.029 yeah, you already mentioned the Irish gunpowder 00:32:13.029 --> 00:32:15.730 gin, that was gonna be my pick. And not to sound 00:32:15.730 --> 00:32:18.990 too basic, but Tank Array is fantastic. It really 00:32:18.990 --> 00:32:24.529 is. I kinda like Bombay Sapphire myself. Especially 00:32:24.529 --> 00:32:27.450 when I'm making G &Ts. Which I don't do a lot, 00:32:27.529 --> 00:32:30.410 but like in the summertime, I get it. You put 00:32:30.410 --> 00:32:33.730 some lime in there, it's more of a summertime 00:32:33.730 --> 00:32:37.150 drink. It really is. But I'm alright with Sapphire 00:32:37.150 --> 00:32:40.400 too. Because there's kind of like two versions 00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:42.400 of gin. You have the more citrusy ones and you 00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:45.019 have the more floral ones. Correct. The botanist 00:32:45.019 --> 00:32:47.059 makes a really great floral gin. Yes. That's 00:32:47.059 --> 00:32:49.440 another good one, too. That one's super floral. 00:32:50.500 --> 00:32:52.319 But yeah, tankerade's a little more on the citrusy 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.000 side. So it's really just what you like. But 00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:58.960 there's a lot of... I am a big gin fan myself. 00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:01.920 Are you? I would say, yeah. Let me ask you this. 00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:03.900 Because I had a conversation with a bartender 00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:07.480 one night. Because someone came up. and ordered 00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:12.519 shots of gin. Okay, would you do shots of gin? 00:33:13.740 --> 00:33:19.279 I would say yes with the caveat of it's not my 00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:22.559 first choice. I would say shots of gin are acceptable. 00:33:22.660 --> 00:33:26.680 People do shots of vodka. But it's not, it wouldn't 00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:31.140 be my go -to. You know, I'd quicker go to a whiskey 00:33:31.140 --> 00:33:33.500 or a bourbon of some kind, but even some of those 00:33:33.500 --> 00:33:36.839 you'd rather sip than shoot. I would argue, I 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:40.319 think the best use case for gin, besides G &Ts 00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:46.299 or gin and juice, is subbing gin for vodka in 00:33:46.299 --> 00:33:50.240 cocktails. Like a Cosmo sub gin. Oh, I see, yeah. 00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:53.240 I think could be a better use case for it. But 00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:56.079 I have nothing against the idea of gin shots. 00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:59.799 I have talked to several coworkers, though, who 00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:03.160 say they do not, quote unquote, get along with 00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:05.960 gin. I was like, I don't think I've heard that 00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:09.000 before. That surprises me. No, that surprises 00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:12.500 me as well. But it was funny how we had that 00:34:12.500 --> 00:34:15.739 conversation. And for someone who's been a bartender 00:34:15.739 --> 00:34:19.320 for many years, just that whole idea of what 00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:23.820 kind of person takes a shot of gin. Just like, 00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:28.019 you have a problem. That is right up there with 00:34:28.019 --> 00:34:30.460 Malort for some people doing shots of gin. Oh, 00:34:30.460 --> 00:34:33.349 sure. Well, that depends if you dislike gin or 00:34:33.349 --> 00:34:34.809 not. That's, yeah, that's true, too. I mean, 00:34:34.909 --> 00:34:36.750 how much we tell Malort, and there's people out 00:34:36.750 --> 00:34:39.010 there who've vomed trying it. Yeah, because there's, 00:34:39.010 --> 00:34:42.349 I mean, there's people that don't like to shoot 00:34:42.349 --> 00:34:45.969 vodka. Like, the idea of it is not very pleasurable. 00:34:46.909 --> 00:34:50.710 But, you know, I had a bartender friend whose 00:34:50.710 --> 00:34:53.570 favorite drink is vodka, or favorite alcohol, 00:34:53.670 --> 00:34:57.269 rather, is vodka, and, like, I would shoot it. 00:34:57.309 --> 00:34:59.210 Like, I don't mind shooting it. As a matter of 00:34:59.210 --> 00:35:02.269 fact, if you take the vodka and you shake it 00:35:02.269 --> 00:35:06.130 up and chill it, it's even much more palatable. 00:35:06.150 --> 00:35:09.070 Oh, sure. That way. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, a lot of 00:35:09.070 --> 00:35:12.449 those hard liquors that are just meant to be 00:35:12.449 --> 00:35:16.489 mixers or shooters that you aren't... Especially 00:35:16.489 --> 00:35:20.010 vodka, where the only flavor is pain. Yeah, you 00:35:20.010 --> 00:35:26.010 can get that sub -zero and it's much easier on 00:35:26.010 --> 00:35:30.760 the palate. You know because I forget what it 00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:36.119 is, but there's a I saw a video on why alcohol 00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:40.079 burns drinking it and it has to do with not the 00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:43.539 fact that it's Burning you or it's physically 00:35:43.539 --> 00:35:47.099 warm. It's something along the lines of it changes 00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:49.599 or temporarily changes your body's chemistry 00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:52.860 to feel like your own body heat is burning you 00:35:52.860 --> 00:35:55.300 or something along those lines. And I was like, 00:35:55.300 --> 00:35:58.800 that is fucking crazy. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That just 00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:01.340 like a simple chemical compound could just be 00:36:01.340 --> 00:36:04.599 like, oh, hey, nerve ending. You're going to 00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:06.559 start feeling like your own body heat's killing 00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:08.559 you. And it's like, oh, God. It's like the same 00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:11.219 shit with capsaicin. There's nothing hot about 00:36:11.219 --> 00:36:15.119 it. Right. It's just telling you, hey, taste 00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:18.380 buds. Fuck you. Right. And then your taste buds 00:36:18.380 --> 00:36:22.099 are like, oh no. Right. Right, because it just 00:36:22.099 --> 00:36:24.739 depends where everything falls on your palate. 00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:28.400 And like for Malort, for example, because we 00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:31.039 just talked about it, there are people that just 00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:33.179 can't do it. Yeah. And they think it's just the 00:36:33.179 --> 00:36:35.880 most god -awful thing ever invented in terms 00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.539 of alcohol. But the thing is, it just depends 00:36:38.539 --> 00:36:42.480 where it falls on your palate and that aftertaste. 00:36:42.900 --> 00:36:45.739 So if... You know, if you swallow it and you 00:36:45.739 --> 00:36:47.780 don't let it linger on your tongue too long, 00:36:48.420 --> 00:36:51.019 you're gonna be alright. It still has that little 00:36:51.019 --> 00:36:55.300 bit of piney kind of... Essence. Essence to it. 00:36:55.579 --> 00:36:58.679 And it does linger on your palate longer than 00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:01.900 most things. Sure. To be fair. But once again, 00:37:02.019 --> 00:37:05.099 it's just, it depends. I mean, what someone on 00:37:05.099 --> 00:37:07.800 someone's palate just might be the most awful 00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:11.260 thing ever. Like, it's almost unfair for me to 00:37:11.260 --> 00:37:13.199 talk about it because I can drink anything. Sure. 00:37:14.959 --> 00:37:19.019 And I, in my group of friends, I am the designated 00:37:19.019 --> 00:37:20.739 shot taker, because there's a lot of people in 00:37:20.739 --> 00:37:23.679 my group that don't do shots. So people would 00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:25.019 be like, oh, let me buy you a shot. And they'd 00:37:25.019 --> 00:37:26.559 always be like, don't buy me a shot. I don't 00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:28.900 do shots. And I'd buy them a shot. And then they're 00:37:28.900 --> 00:37:31.940 just like, hand it over. And I'm like, OK, I'll 00:37:31.940 --> 00:37:36.460 do it. And that's just because I care. It's because 00:37:36.460 --> 00:37:39.199 you're brave. I am brave. I'm brave, and I care, 00:37:39.260 --> 00:37:45.000 and godspeed. Godspeed. All right, next one is 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:49.880 at the Santa Claus. Oh. Gentlemen, I have a few 00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.960 issues this year. Ruh -roh. Due to tariffs, I 00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:57.280 had to lay off 45 % of my elf force. I am also 00:37:57.280 --> 00:37:59.539 having issues getting things shipped. to the 00:37:59.539 --> 00:38:02.719 North Pole on time. However, the naughty list 00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:06.639 is bigger than it has ever been. Yeah. Also, 00:38:06.780 --> 00:38:09.260 due to lack of holiday spirit, the sleigh ain't 00:38:09.260 --> 00:38:12.019 getting off the ground. Should I just retire 00:38:12.019 --> 00:38:15.159 and become a Walmart greener? Oh, man. Well. 00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:17.940 Santa's kind of depressed. He's kind of down 00:38:17.940 --> 00:38:20.280 on his luck, and I can't blame him. You know, 00:38:20.940 --> 00:38:25.019 you got everyone's broke, so they can't necessarily 00:38:25.019 --> 00:38:28.530 participate in the capitalistic side. and of 00:38:28.530 --> 00:38:32.170 course being the Santa Claus providing such toys 00:38:32.170 --> 00:38:35.190 and not being able to get the parts clearly from 00:38:35.190 --> 00:38:38.949 overseas where most everything is made. That's 00:38:38.949 --> 00:38:41.429 tough. I would say no, don't work for Walmart. 00:38:41.789 --> 00:38:46.329 That's like actual culty type behavior. But man, 00:38:46.469 --> 00:38:48.510 that's rough. Aren't you omniscient, by the way? 00:38:49.250 --> 00:38:52.599 Couldn't you just get a job being like... God 00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:54.579 almighty's right -hand man. Pretty much could 00:38:54.579 --> 00:38:57.019 do that. Just take it. Hey, yo, big man. Take 00:38:57.019 --> 00:38:58.820 a little load off. I'll keep an eye on them if 00:38:58.820 --> 00:39:01.480 they're naughty or nice. He's magical. Go to 00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:03.539 Vegas and get on the stage and make yourself 00:39:03.539 --> 00:39:07.639 a little cache. Right. You could be like a street 00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:11.239 magician. If you believe this sleigh will rise, 00:39:11.659 --> 00:39:14.199 it will rise. It will rise. And it's like, OK, 00:39:14.300 --> 00:39:16.280 I believe. And it goes up. It's like, whoa! Well, 00:39:16.340 --> 00:39:18.739 that guy's great. He's crazy. He's also kind 00:39:18.739 --> 00:39:21.079 of... Dressed like Santa Claus, but I'm not gonna 00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:23.639 judge him. I mean, that's pretty What do you 00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:26.619 call himself? Nick? That's weird Is he really 00:39:26.619 --> 00:39:28.460 a saint? Is he really a saint? What is he the 00:39:28.460 --> 00:39:30.619 saint of? He doesn't look like a saint that I'm 00:39:30.619 --> 00:39:34.000 aware of But whatever he just levitated that 00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.340 sleigh. So I mean that's Pretty good. Put a fiver 00:39:37.340 --> 00:39:39.739 in the guitar case. That's right. Exactly. There 00:39:39.739 --> 00:39:41.500 you go, man.

But Austin, Texas sounds like a 00:40:32.820 --> 00:40:35.599 good time. It sounds like their weather would 00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:37.699 probably be great this time of year. Oh my god. 00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:41.030 I can't even imagine. Yeah. But yeah, that sounds 00:40:41.030 --> 00:40:43.050 great.

I don't 00:42:22.380 --> 00:42:27.300 have a mistletoe. Got a toe. Plenty of toes. 00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:31.920 Tend to be exact. To be precise. I would say 00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:35.300 happy chroma to you. To you. And joy time to 00:42:35.300 --> 00:42:40.119 your next year as well. Absolutely. I think I'll 00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:43.219 pass on drinking the eggs. Yeah, I don't want 00:42:43.219 --> 00:42:47.340 to drink the eggs. Are you certain it isn't a 00:42:47.340 --> 00:42:49.460 yule cat that is eating your socks? I was going 00:42:49.460 --> 00:42:51.460 to say, oh man. You might want to check that 00:42:51.460 --> 00:42:53.320 out there, Stanley. That could be an issue for 00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:56.039 you. Oh, man, that's crazy. If he runs out of 00:42:56.039 --> 00:43:00.860 socks, does he get taken? Oh. Row, row. Well, 00:43:00.860 --> 00:43:02.320 if we don't hear from Stanley anymore. We don't 00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:05.239 hear from Stan. I think we know. He ran out of 00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:12.719 socks. Indeed. Indeed. Now, your DMs. Oh, my 00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:16.380 goodness. What do you got? Evil Genie. Checking 00:43:16.380 --> 00:43:22.199 in again. Would you rather lose your sight irreparably? 00:43:22.539 --> 00:43:27.320 Or lose one of your legs. Well, that's pretty 00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:30.019 evil. Evil Genie. I don't like either one. I 00:43:30.019 --> 00:43:33.260 don't like either one. That's a bad time. If 00:43:33.260 --> 00:43:39.659 I lose a leg... Where did I put it? I know. That's 00:43:39.659 --> 00:43:43.500 no good. It would be different if we lived overseas 00:43:43.500 --> 00:43:47.519 or in Canada. If you lose a leg, you have this 00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:49.820 thing called universal health care. Probably 00:43:49.820 --> 00:43:53.219 just slap a fake one on. Slap a fake one on. 00:43:53.739 --> 00:43:55.539 You'd probably be okay. You'd learn how to walk 00:43:55.539 --> 00:44:02.179 again. But losing sight would be terrible. Terrible. 00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:07.260 I couldn't work my current job if I didn't have 00:44:07.260 --> 00:44:11.780 sight. Right. I'd drive for a living. Really 00:44:11.780 --> 00:44:16.360 large vehicles. And you can't really do that 00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:19.000 without eyeballs. But can I do that with one 00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:23.380 leg, maybe? Maybe. Maybe? Ah, I think I'm gonna 00:44:23.380 --> 00:44:26.860 have to lose the leg. I think sight is too important 00:44:26.860 --> 00:44:29.500 of a sense to me. Right? Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah, 00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:35.400 I think I'd drop a leg. Man, you know, that's... 00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:40.500 Like with the leg... Oh man. Yeah, that's real 00:44:40.500 --> 00:44:48.500 tough. Yeah. Hmm well and see that the site is 00:44:48.500 --> 00:44:51.159 a little more personal to me because that like 00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:54.340 that shit runs in the family right and I've already 00:44:54.340 --> 00:44:56.239 started losing a little bit of eyesight in my 00:44:56.239 --> 00:45:01.639 left eye and I'm not that old so You know 10 00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:03.940 15 20 years down the road probably doesn't look 00:45:03.940 --> 00:45:09.219 super great for me Doesn't look super great Sorry. 00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:13.940 Sorry. Wow. That was so insensitive. I wouldn't 00:45:13.940 --> 00:45:16.980 know if it would look great or not, to be completely 00:45:16.980 --> 00:45:22.760 honest. I'm sorry. No, that's fine. That's fine. 00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:26.099 It's like when quick wit meets brutality. It's 00:45:26.099 --> 00:45:29.420 like, fuck, do I say it? Finish him. Of course 00:45:29.420 --> 00:45:33.980 you do. Of course you do. Fatality. If I could 00:45:33.980 --> 00:45:36.340 see you, I'd kick your ass. It makes you a great 00:45:36.340 --> 00:45:39.639 comedian, but a shitty son. Right. It's like, 00:45:39.860 --> 00:45:43.920 okay, cool. A sacrifice worthy of making. Yeah, 00:45:43.940 --> 00:45:46.000 and then if the leg thing, and I'd be like, oh, 00:45:46.019 --> 00:45:48.000 I'm gonna kick your ass, you'd be like, go ahead. 00:45:49.659 --> 00:45:53.739 Which one? Go ahead. I'm about to take a tumble, 00:45:53.739 --> 00:45:56.400 old man. If you only have one leg, does that 00:45:56.400 --> 00:46:00.219 make every kick a drop kick? 100%. 100%, it's 00:46:00.219 --> 00:46:02.219 gotta be. It would definitely make it a drop 00:46:02.219 --> 00:46:06.139 kick. Wow. Fascinating. And then it's kind of 00:46:06.139 --> 00:46:08.820 hard. You really can't use the terminology hop 00:46:08.820 --> 00:46:10.320 at all with someone like that, because that's 00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:13.079 just rude. Right. Come on, let's hop too. Oh. 00:46:13.659 --> 00:46:17.960 You kind of already do that. All right. You dick. 00:46:18.440 --> 00:46:21.269 Right, exactly. Oh, man, that guy doesn't have 00:46:21.269 --> 00:46:24.650 a leg to stand on. What I meant to say. He's 00:46:24.650 --> 00:46:30.449 got one to stand on. He's leaning a little. Yeah. 00:46:31.289 --> 00:46:34.710 He's got to fortify and plant your feet, plant 00:46:34.710 --> 00:46:39.989 your foot somewhere. Oh, no. Yeah, I don't like 00:46:39.989 --> 00:46:41.889 either one of those. But I'd probably take eyesight 00:46:41.889 --> 00:46:43.090 because that's going to be something I'm going 00:46:43.090 --> 00:46:46.289 to lose anyway. Get used to it early. Get used 00:46:46.289 --> 00:46:49.590 to it early, and then I can just listen to Bear's 00:46:49.590 --> 00:46:53.710 games and use my imagination. Yeah, right. Sounds 00:46:53.710 --> 00:46:59.869 awesome. Gumbo 35 checking in. Gumbo! Temperature 00:46:59.869 --> 00:47:03.710 has cursed you with opposite day. Specifically 00:47:03.710 --> 00:47:08.670 regarding ingestion. Oh. Interesting concept. 00:47:09.190 --> 00:47:12.110 All your cold food is hot, and all hot food is 00:47:12.110 --> 00:47:15.630 cold. All of your cold drinks are now hot, and 00:47:15.630 --> 00:47:18.590 all your hot drinks are cold. Which do you think 00:47:18.590 --> 00:47:21.570 would be worse? All of your cold drinks are hot. 00:47:22.849 --> 00:47:26.809 Oh, yeah, could you imagine, like, steaming warm 00:47:26.809 --> 00:47:30.210 beer? It'd be awful. It'd be terrible. You're 00:47:30.210 --> 00:47:32.210 out in the yard, you're pulling weeds, cutting 00:47:32.210 --> 00:47:34.929 the grass, cleaning out in the garage, sweating, 00:47:34.969 --> 00:47:39.250 you come in, and it's warm. That just sounds 00:47:39.250 --> 00:47:43.070 gross. And there's not many hot drinks besides 00:47:43.070 --> 00:47:46.710 coffee and tea that people regularly consume. 00:47:47.769 --> 00:47:50.210 And granted, iced coffee's a thing. So if my 00:47:50.210 --> 00:47:52.949 hot coffee was all of a sudden iced, that'd still 00:47:52.949 --> 00:47:56.650 be fine. I would just be a little perturbed in 00:47:56.650 --> 00:47:58.469 the winter, where I'm like, I kinda wanted it 00:47:58.469 --> 00:48:01.530 hot. Yeah, like when I go work in a coffee shop, 00:48:01.989 --> 00:48:03.750 and sometimes my coffee sits there for a little 00:48:03.750 --> 00:48:07.230 bit, and... You know I've got half of it left, 00:48:07.230 --> 00:48:10.429 but now it's cool. It's cool. Yeah, so it's like 00:48:10.429 --> 00:48:12.170 all right now It's kind of closer to an iced 00:48:12.170 --> 00:48:13.829 coffee, or if I have a hot chocolate. It's more 00:48:13.829 --> 00:48:16.329 like chocolate milk Yeah, right. It's fine. Nothing 00:48:16.329 --> 00:48:20.170 wrong with that. No. I just thought the the cold 00:48:20.170 --> 00:48:23.489 hot I just think that's or yeah like coming inside 00:48:23.489 --> 00:48:25.750 after mowing the lawn you want a cool glass of 00:48:25.750 --> 00:48:28.309 water or you want to crack open a cold brewski, 00:48:28.309 --> 00:48:31.530 and they're both warm It's like God damn it that 00:48:31.530 --> 00:48:34.869 sounds awful because like cold pizza makes sense 00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:37.619 Cold noodles are fine. Cold fries, that's a no. 00:48:38.179 --> 00:48:41.739 You definitely lose fries. That is one food when 00:48:41.739 --> 00:48:44.440 it cools off, you just throw the garbage. Could 00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:49.280 you imagine a warm cereal and milk? God, that 00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:52.260 sounds nasty. I think the drinks would be worse, 00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:54.690 but... Breakfast would feel a little different 00:48:54.690 --> 00:48:57.670 No, and that's funny you say that because I feel 00:48:57.670 --> 00:49:00.510 like I acknowledge that which is why if I have 00:49:00.510 --> 00:49:02.369 a bowl of cereal I eat it really fast you got 00:49:02.369 --> 00:49:04.650 to yeah You got to see they're gonna saw or it's 00:49:04.650 --> 00:49:06.969 gonna become room 10 room temp and that's gross. 00:49:07.210 --> 00:49:11.429 That's foul Another DM here from evil genie actually 00:49:11.429 --> 00:49:15.869 checking in again Never mind the last one actually 00:49:15.869 --> 00:49:20.690 thinking about turning a new leaf in 2026 Okay, 00:49:20.809 --> 00:49:26.940 would you rather have? $75 ,000 right now, or 00:49:26.940 --> 00:49:31.400 have a $75 ,000 a year job that climbs with inflation? 00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:35.800 Interesting. Now, that is an interesting question. 00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:40.619 Because I imagine the $75 ,000 right now didn't 00:49:40.619 --> 00:49:43.119 say anything about that being taxable income. 00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:44.539 I might just have that. Or that it'd even be 00:49:44.539 --> 00:49:47.530 a good job. Yeah, what if it's a shitty job? 00:49:47.670 --> 00:49:49.869 It could be a terrible job. Well, it pays well, 00:49:49.909 --> 00:49:51.889 but if I'm gonna hate myself for 2 ,000 hours 00:49:51.889 --> 00:49:55.010 a year... Right. What if it's so shitty you quit 00:49:55.010 --> 00:49:58.750 in six months? Right, right. That's 75k right 00:49:58.750 --> 00:50:00.690 now. I'm taking that right now, because I owe 00:50:00.690 --> 00:50:02.610 people money, man, and I gotta get them that 00:50:02.610 --> 00:50:05.289 cashola. So I'm gonna take that, and whatever 00:50:05.289 --> 00:50:08.769 I got left, I'm probably going to disappear somewhere 00:50:08.769 --> 00:50:11.369 for a long weekend, and just get my shit together. 00:50:11.750 --> 00:50:14.630 Yep. I'm in the same boat. Because if I don't 00:50:14.630 --> 00:50:16.630 get to choose the job it could be really really 00:50:16.630 --> 00:50:19.110 bad, and I don't like the thought of that So 00:50:19.110 --> 00:50:22.030 I'll take the 75 right now as hell. Yeah final 00:50:22.030 --> 00:50:26.150 DM. I received hero brine asking hmm. What's 00:50:26.150 --> 00:50:33.389 your favorite? Minecraft sprite I Love the design 00:50:33.389 --> 00:50:36.590 we have played that on yeah, I love the design 00:50:36.590 --> 00:50:40.730 of the sheeps The sheeps are cute. I need to 00:50:42.090 --> 00:50:46.170 I love how the, uh, like the oak and the dark 00:50:46.170 --> 00:50:48.050 oak play together when you're building a house. 00:50:48.090 --> 00:50:50.670 Right. I think it looks very cute. The sheeps 00:50:50.670 --> 00:50:53.190 are great. The interplay between the different 00:50:53.190 --> 00:50:57.369 woods are great. I like the little ocelot cats, 00:50:57.829 --> 00:51:01.190 as well. Yeah. I like the chickens. I like the 00:51:01.190 --> 00:51:03.010 fact when you whack them with the swords, like, 00:51:04.190 --> 00:51:05.949 And then they like, leave you an egg, and it's 00:51:05.949 --> 00:51:07.690 like, why do I gotta kill this little dude to 00:51:07.690 --> 00:51:09.409 get an egg from him? Why can't they just randomly 00:51:09.409 --> 00:51:11.869 lay eggs around the island that I just built? 00:51:12.150 --> 00:51:14.349 I think they do. It just takes forever. But if 00:51:14.349 --> 00:51:17.349 you bonk him one, it's like, gah! Oh, yeah. I 00:51:17.349 --> 00:51:20.719 love... setting up these huge pens and putting 00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:23.139 a bunch of chickens in there and putting a bunch 00:51:23.139 --> 00:51:26.780 of pigs and just Having just these orgies go 00:51:26.780 --> 00:51:28.960 on and all of a sudden the wheat all the wheat 00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:32.340 seeds. Oh, yeah Now your island looks like Nebraska 00:51:32.340 --> 00:51:35.059 because you've just got these pens filled with 00:51:35.059 --> 00:51:37.340 animals that can't even move It's like the game 00:51:37.340 --> 00:51:39.179 starts to lag a little bit. There's too many 00:51:39.179 --> 00:51:42.960 entities on screen. Yep, exactly. God damn it 00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:48.750 Yeah, those pigs they pork my man You're welcome. 00:51:49.369 --> 00:51:54.110 I don't know if this counts, but the little green 00:51:54.110 --> 00:51:56.909 dudes that hiss at you. Oh, the creepers. Yeah. 00:51:57.769 --> 00:52:00.889 I like and hate them at the same time. Because 00:52:00.889 --> 00:52:04.690 if you're in creative mode, it's really a non 00:52:04.690 --> 00:52:08.369 -issue. But if you're in survival mode, and all 00:52:08.369 --> 00:52:09.630 of a sudden you hear it sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss 00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:11.280 You're just like, oh shit, where is he? Especially 00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:13.639 if you're already in the mines and there's lava 00:52:13.639 --> 00:52:15.780 around. It's like, God, don't explode me into 00:52:15.780 --> 00:52:18.500 the lava. Oh yeah. I can't lose the two diamonds 00:52:18.500 --> 00:52:22.360 I found. Right, exactly. Because then he just 00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:25.099 explodes. And if you're down under the earth, 00:52:25.739 --> 00:52:27.940 all hell breaks loose. And it's just like, OK, 00:52:27.940 --> 00:52:30.719 how do I get back up there now? And it's just 00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:33.920 not pretty. It's not at all. And I think there's 00:52:33.920 --> 00:52:35.679 kind of a cool story. You can look up the full 00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:39.599 thing. I'll just try and... Paraphrase it from 00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:42.239 memory, but apparently they never attempted to 00:52:42.239 --> 00:52:45.420 make creepers Like they were trying to build 00:52:45.420 --> 00:52:48.260 a pig, but they actually like inverted all the 00:52:48.260 --> 00:52:52.480 y -axis with the x -axis. Oh So it was like this 00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:54.960 weird upright shaped thing and it looked all 00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:57.420 strange And then of course they had the bug where 00:52:57.420 --> 00:53:00.179 shit just explodes randomly Yeah, and they just 00:53:00.179 --> 00:53:02.820 kind of paired the two together and like I guess 00:53:02.820 --> 00:53:06.179 it's a new character now Like the creeper actually 00:53:06.179 --> 00:53:10.380 came by by accident Wow, yeah, I thought that 00:53:10.380 --> 00:53:13.019 was kind of fun. That is fun Feel free to check 00:53:13.019 --> 00:53:15.460 like fat check me in the comments, but I'm pretty 00:53:15.460 --> 00:53:17.880 sure that's how the story went down Pretty certain 00:53:17.880 --> 00:53:20.840 and I don't like the villagers. I don't like 00:53:20.840 --> 00:53:23.039 them. They've all they look like Brown Squidward 00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:26.480 Yeah, they always got a toot so I was like her 00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:29.119 And they just give you this dirty look and then 00:53:29.119 --> 00:53:30.840 like if you're building houses and you open the 00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:32.400 door And there's a five of them standing in there 00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:34.800 like this is not a hotel get the hell out of 00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:37.409 my place man, right? And then they've got the 00:53:37.409 --> 00:53:39.829 gall to be like, oh, well, you give me five diamonds. 00:53:39.829 --> 00:53:42.250 I'll give you an emerald. It's like, oh, well, 00:53:42.250 --> 00:53:45.469 what's an emerald worth? A carrot. Oh, cool. 00:53:46.170 --> 00:53:48.409 What the fuck, man? Such a great idea. Where 00:53:48.409 --> 00:53:51.309 did I put that sword? Yeah, right. In the villager. 00:53:51.630 --> 00:53:55.969 Hurr. How? Hurr. Hurr. Hurr. Fuck them guys. 00:53:56.230 --> 00:53:59.269 Mm -hmm. That was the last DM I received. All 00:53:59.269 --> 00:54:01.610 right. Those are the DMs for this week. If you 00:54:01.610 --> 00:54:04.710 got any, send them to us on the socials. And, 00:54:04.710 --> 00:54:09.579 uh... We might read them. Get back to you. No 00:54:09.579 --> 00:54:11.639 doubt. We have a little segment called The Other 00:54:11.639 --> 00:54:16.539 Foods. Aidan scours the planet, the globe, flat 00:54:16.539 --> 00:54:20.380 or otherwise. And he will find a country with 00:54:20.380 --> 00:54:23.460 some putrid -ass shit. And I would like to know 00:54:23.460 --> 00:54:25.440 what he found this week. Well, this week, we 00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:28.559 already kind of hinted on it. Inadvertently, 00:54:28.639 --> 00:54:35.420 just in passing a segment ago. Insects. I found 00:54:35.420 --> 00:54:42.619 the three lowest rated insect dishes on the globe, 00:54:43.460 --> 00:54:45.780 which all, ideally, could have been their own 00:54:45.780 --> 00:54:48.420 segment. But hey, it's a season finale. We go 00:54:48.420 --> 00:54:54.000 all out. First one here, Han Mahai, which is 00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:59.039 especially popular in Bangkok, deep fried silkworm. 00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:05.159 Yeah. Deep -fried silkworm, of course, then seasoning 00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:08.340 with salt and pepper, and quote -unquote, sometimes 00:55:08.340 --> 00:55:13.320 a secret sauce prepared by the vendor. Oh, no. 00:55:13.739 --> 00:55:16.639 It's typically sold out of street carts. Once 00:55:16.639 --> 00:55:19.960 fried, quote, the silkworms turn crunchy and 00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:22.420 greasy, while the flavor is sometimes described 00:55:22.420 --> 00:55:27.000 as slightly bitter. Oh, why? Why? Why would you 00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:30.139 do that? Why would you do that? The next one. 00:55:30.570 --> 00:55:36.570 the second highest rated bad one or lowest rated 00:55:36.570 --> 00:55:41.289 it's the second worst second worst hormiga culona 00:55:41.289 --> 00:55:46.570 are the quote world famous fat -bottomed ants 00:55:46.570 --> 00:55:52.349 which i where you say world fat bottom ants it 00:55:52.349 --> 00:55:53.989 makes the queen song sound a little different 00:55:53.989 --> 00:55:57.170 yeah yeah uh yeah i wouldn't use the term world 00:55:57.170 --> 00:56:00.860 famous so liberally like that The fat bottomed 00:56:00.860 --> 00:56:03.840 ants, an unusual delicacy from the Department 00:56:03.840 --> 00:56:09.320 of Santander in Colombia, originally harvested 00:56:09.320 --> 00:56:14.539 from the Guane Indians as a protein source. Guano! 00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:19.940 Hello! Today it takes about five hours to gather 00:56:19.940 --> 00:56:21.940 the ants from their nests in the springtime. 00:56:22.380 --> 00:56:27.480 Their bottoms get soaked in salt water. And then 00:56:27.480 --> 00:56:31.579 they are fried for about 45 minutes, and then 00:56:31.579 --> 00:56:34.820 strained, just before they remove the wings by 00:56:34.820 --> 00:56:40.800 hand. So they soak the ass of the ant in the 00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:44.579 salt water to puff it up, fry it, and then remove 00:56:44.579 --> 00:56:47.179 the wings. It's like, there's your food. No, 00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:49.619 mm -mm. It's like, brother, I think I'm gonna 00:56:49.619 --> 00:56:53.849 have to pass. Fat bottom and to make the rockin' 00:56:54.070 --> 00:56:55.170 world go round. That's all we can say. You make 00:56:55.170 --> 00:57:01.449 my taste buds go... sad. The last one I've got 00:57:01.449 --> 00:57:06.750 here is a Beondegi, a classic, quote unquote 00:57:06.750 --> 00:57:09.710 classic. I'm sure. South Korean street food consisting 00:57:09.710 --> 00:57:14.909 of silkworm pupae insects. Oh no. With these 00:57:14.909 --> 00:57:20.000 little guys being boiled and steamed. Oh. And 00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:21.780 then of course seasoned before they're served 00:57:21.780 --> 00:57:25.860 in small cups of course another street food there 00:57:25.860 --> 00:57:33.920 for you now I understand being I Understand the 00:57:33.920 --> 00:57:36.159 whole thing of why people eat insects like it's 00:57:36.159 --> 00:57:41.699 it's one of the more protein protein packed environmentally 00:57:41.699 --> 00:57:45.460 friendly ways to eat animal protein But at the 00:57:45.460 --> 00:57:47.639 same time it's like dude. There's a reason why 00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:51.289 people powder Cricket protein and then throw 00:57:51.289 --> 00:57:54.489 it on like a Dorito chip. It's because the only 00:57:54.489 --> 00:57:57.409 thing you're tasting is Dorito chip Yeah, you 00:57:57.409 --> 00:57:59.849 don't just put the bugs in a bowl and be like 00:57:59.849 --> 00:58:02.929 there you are Uh -huh, then I know I'm eating 00:58:02.929 --> 00:58:06.730 bugs. I know right. Yeah, that's a it's a hard 00:58:06.730 --> 00:58:09.269 pass I gotta say definitely a hard pass. So those 00:58:09.269 --> 00:58:12.130 were the three According to I believe the website 00:58:12.130 --> 00:58:15.429 was taste Atlas. Those were the three lowest 00:58:15.429 --> 00:58:19.940 rated worst rated insect dishes. I'd buy that. 00:58:20.320 --> 00:58:23.260 I'd buy that for sure. I wouldn't purchase it. 00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:27.139 No. But I'd buy that. No. You know, and then 00:58:27.139 --> 00:58:29.820 conversely, I do this thing called Frozen Guy 00:58:29.820 --> 00:58:34.039 Reviews, where I, since I live on my own, I, 00:58:34.039 --> 00:58:36.659 you just kind of get used to eating the frozen 00:58:36.659 --> 00:58:38.719 meals once in a while. You just keep a bunch 00:58:38.719 --> 00:58:41.179 of those in your freezer, and you know, it's, 00:58:41.400 --> 00:58:43.500 because grocery stores, when you're talking like 00:58:43.500 --> 00:58:46.219 fresh food, meats and vegetables, There isn't 00:58:46.219 --> 00:58:49.840 much there for a single person Because like I'll 00:58:49.840 --> 00:58:52.679 cook and I have like some looking at six pork 00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:54.780 chops. I'm like, well shit I'm not eating six 00:58:54.780 --> 00:58:57.300 pork chops and then in three or four days you're 00:58:57.300 --> 00:58:59.460 gonna be like, oh shit forgot about those leftover 00:58:59.460 --> 00:59:01.900 pork chops Now I gotta toss them. Yeah, and so 00:59:01.900 --> 00:59:03.920 I'm not not really happy about that, but you 00:59:03.920 --> 00:59:06.300 get some frozen meals They've got a pretty long 00:59:06.300 --> 00:59:08.940 shelf life on the old freezer. So anyway, I've 00:59:08.940 --> 00:59:12.190 been rating them And I just tried one. Actually, 00:59:12.389 --> 00:59:14.969 I had one today, which is the same kind of food 00:59:14.969 --> 00:59:17.650 as this one. So I'll have to do that one next 00:59:17.650 --> 00:59:20.369 week, but this is Stouffer's Swedish Meatballs. 00:59:20.550 --> 00:59:26.429 Ooh, okay. Big Stouffer's guy? Well, well! We'll 00:59:26.429 --> 00:59:29.070 find out, I guess. You know, a lot of times I 00:59:29.070 --> 00:59:31.409 look for what's on sale. And frozen foods don't 00:59:31.409 --> 00:59:33.949 typically have really great sales, but, you know, 00:59:33.949 --> 00:59:36.309 if I see something knocked off 20, 25 cents or 00:59:36.309 --> 00:59:40.710 something, it's like, eh, okay. And so Stouffer's, 00:59:40.909 --> 00:59:43.690 the one criticism I have of most of their meals 00:59:43.690 --> 00:59:48.050 is that quantity isn't great. Oh, sure. So you 00:59:48.050 --> 00:59:50.389 can eat one, but then I feel like I need one 00:59:50.389 --> 00:59:53.429 more. Yeah. And so if you're only paying three 00:59:53.429 --> 00:59:56.480 bucks for it, if you just eat the one, Well hell, 00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:58.760 you just filled your belly and it only cost you 00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:01.780 three dollars, so fantastic. But it's gonna take 01:00:01.780 --> 01:00:04.980 two to fill my belly, so now it's like six dollars. 01:00:05.860 --> 01:00:11.019 Yeah. Not, mid. Yeah. Very mid. The meal is kinda 01:00:11.019 --> 01:00:16.280 mid. The noodles were fine, but the sauce was 01:00:16.280 --> 01:00:20.940 kind of liquidy. Oh yeah. So I'm not a huge fan 01:00:20.940 --> 01:00:23.980 of that. And the meatballs, while they were good, 01:00:24.159 --> 01:00:28.179 were small. That's no fun. So meatballs are small 01:00:28.179 --> 01:00:34.519 tiny balls tiny balls He had tiny balls Yeah, 01:00:34.539 --> 01:00:39.480 tiny balls Liquidy sauce and the noodles are 01:00:39.480 --> 01:00:44.440 okay, so not the best But it's the same sense 01:00:44.440 --> 01:00:46.820 like I was really hungry when I had it So my 01:00:46.820 --> 01:00:48.639 oh, I shouldn't make myself really hungry when 01:00:48.639 --> 01:00:51.659 I do these because I'm not gonna raise you yeah, 01:00:51.940 --> 01:00:55.159 excuse it, but I will be honest in my review 01:00:55.159 --> 01:00:59.420 anyway. And I'm gonna give it a 6 .2. Ooh, the 01:00:59.420 --> 01:01:02.179 lowest rated so far. I think so. Stouffer's, 01:01:02.219 --> 01:01:04.019 what are we doing, man? What are we doing, yeah. 01:01:04.659 --> 01:01:06.980 But I'll have another Swedish Meatball review 01:01:06.980 --> 01:01:08.960 next week, because I had it for lunch today. 01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:13.519 And you just have to wait. You'll just have to... 01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:16.559 Clifhanger! Clifhanger. That'll be season five, 01:01:16.599 --> 01:01:19.489 so we'll do more Swedish Meatballs then.

I just like 01:05:39.730 --> 01:05:42.150 to go there to go there. Yeah, exactly. I just 01:05:42.150 --> 01:05:43.969 want to go there to go there, but of course being 01:05:43.969 --> 01:05:45.909 able to see like what their Christmas traditions 01:05:45.909 --> 01:05:50.309 are like, going to a KFC perhaps. Hell yes. Spending 01:05:50.309 --> 01:05:55.289 $200 on a family size. Bucket of chicken. Number 01:05:55.289 --> 01:05:59.530 five, I had Honolulu, Hawaii. Because it's warm 01:05:59.530 --> 01:06:02.969 and it's tropical. Yes, and it's Christmas and 01:06:02.969 --> 01:06:05.070 granted. That's one of the more touristy locations, 01:06:05.170 --> 01:06:09.110 but You can sit by the pool with a drink and 01:06:09.110 --> 01:06:11.130 be like, yep. This is the best. This is Christmas 01:06:11.130 --> 01:06:14.289 day Yeah, what's that? Oh god, what is the one 01:06:14.289 --> 01:06:18.159 song from Christmas vacation? When he's like 01:06:18.159 --> 01:06:30.039 envisioning the pool in the backyard Yeah, cuz 01:06:30.039 --> 01:06:33.119 Ben Crosby will crawl out of the grave ensue 01:06:33.119 --> 01:06:38.579 us damn melikaliki maka sure yep is that right 01:06:38.579 --> 01:06:42.179 Sure, I don't know I wasn't the singer now sounds 01:06:42.179 --> 01:06:46.460 good to me number four Dublin Ireland Yeah, I'd 01:06:46.460 --> 01:06:48.400 love to not only go there, but of course experience 01:06:48.400 --> 01:06:50.940 Christmas out there. Just seems gorgeous. And 01:06:50.940 --> 01:06:53.139 of course, I don't think Ireland really gets 01:06:53.139 --> 01:06:56.300 terribly cold winters. They get the heat off 01:06:56.300 --> 01:06:59.039 the ocean and then they're kind of chill. They're 01:06:59.039 --> 01:07:01.019 a lot like Seattle. I mean, Seattle probably 01:07:01.019 --> 01:07:02.460 gets a little bit more snow and ice than they 01:07:02.460 --> 01:07:06.849 do. but it's a maritime climate, so it's cloudy, 01:07:07.010 --> 01:07:10.510 it's cool, they get rain, whatever, but it's 01:07:10.510 --> 01:07:14.469 not overly snowy by any stretch, but even so, 01:07:14.510 --> 01:07:16.929 even if you just had just a little bit cover 01:07:16.929 --> 01:07:19.949 on the ground, you got your Irish cottage, little 01:07:19.949 --> 01:07:22.670 wreath on the door, it's awesome. That'd be beautiful. 01:07:23.750 --> 01:07:26.969 Number three, going back to the hot places, Sydney, 01:07:26.989 --> 01:07:30.289 Australia. Ah. If it's winter up here for us, 01:07:30.469 --> 01:07:33.289 it is summer down there for them. So that would 01:07:33.289 --> 01:07:36.389 just be gorgeous. And I know Australia shares 01:07:36.389 --> 01:07:39.570 a lot in common with the U .S. as far as certain 01:07:39.570 --> 01:07:41.789 cultural customs, so I'd be very interested to 01:07:41.789 --> 01:07:43.469 see what their Christmassers are like down there. 01:07:43.650 --> 01:07:46.909 I would agree. And number two on my list, because 01:07:46.909 --> 01:07:48.949 I've heard great things about it, of course great 01:07:48.949 --> 01:07:50.610 things about it during the holidays as well, 01:07:51.050 --> 01:07:54.400 Munich, Germany. Oh, yeah. If it's not Oktoberfest, 01:07:54.460 --> 01:07:56.360 I would love to see it during Christmas at least. 01:07:56.519 --> 01:07:58.900 Well, like the Christkindl market is very similar 01:07:58.900 --> 01:08:02.780 to like a German market. Right. But imagine being 01:08:02.780 --> 01:08:04.920 in Germany where like every town's got probably 01:08:04.920 --> 01:08:07.320 one of these. Right. And they just call it a 01:08:07.320 --> 01:08:08.860 market. And they just call it a market. They 01:08:08.860 --> 01:08:10.400 don't have to call it a German market. Nope. 01:08:10.679 --> 01:08:13.179 Nope. Because you're already there. You're in 01:08:13.179 --> 01:08:15.179 Germany. Why would we call it German market? 01:08:16.020 --> 01:08:19.619 Buy my goods. Buy my goods. Thank you. Thank 01:08:19.619 --> 01:08:23.460 you. All right, my top ten, number ten, Washington 01:08:23.460 --> 01:08:28.380 DC. I heard the Capitol is like, it's very pretty 01:08:28.380 --> 01:08:34.520 around this time of year. I mean, current... 01:08:34.520 --> 01:08:35.960 Yeah, I was going to say maybe you want to go... 01:08:35.960 --> 01:08:38.600 ...current leadership withstanding. Maybe wait 01:08:38.600 --> 01:08:40.960 a few years and then hop back over there, but 01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:44.800 we went there when Barry was in and it was delightful. 01:08:44.859 --> 01:08:47.659 It was very delightful. It was delightful and... 01:08:47.720 --> 01:08:50.399 You know, you kind of went there and talked to 01:08:50.399 --> 01:08:53.500 our US rap and some other people. And it's just 01:08:53.500 --> 01:08:57.420 like, wow, I'm so hopeful. And then that went 01:08:57.420 --> 01:09:00.460 away. That went away. That went away. That went 01:09:00.460 --> 01:09:03.479 away. But we had a good run, boys. Yeah, we had 01:09:03.479 --> 01:09:09.460 a good run. That's great. Anyway, but I think 01:09:09.460 --> 01:09:11.739 just like it's very pretty this time of year 01:09:11.739 --> 01:09:13.640 and all the lights and everything. Boston, Massachusetts, 01:09:13.739 --> 01:09:17.850 number nine. Oh, yeah. Now I've been there. The 01:09:17.850 --> 01:09:19.489 one thing I wouldn't want to do, especially if 01:09:19.489 --> 01:09:22.649 it was super snowy, is navigate those tiny streets, 01:09:23.109 --> 01:09:25.350 because those tiny streets were originally designed 01:09:25.350 --> 01:09:29.449 for horses. Oh, the carriages, right. Yeah. So 01:09:29.449 --> 01:09:31.930 those can be a challenge. But if it's not overly 01:09:31.930 --> 01:09:35.289 snowy, just a beautiful city, old buildings, 01:09:35.470 --> 01:09:37.729 I can imagine just all the decorations and everything 01:09:37.729 --> 01:09:40.810 would be really cool. Can you imagine if they 01:09:40.810 --> 01:09:43.949 did Christmas tours of Fenway? It's like snow 01:09:43.949 --> 01:09:47.100 all over the field. Yep. Walk in there. He's 01:09:47.100 --> 01:09:50.699 like here's an eggnog have fun have fun get to 01:09:50.699 --> 01:09:53.619 like walk the base paths sipping your nog That 01:09:53.619 --> 01:09:56.680 would be a hot cocoa do that man. I'd be down 01:09:56.680 --> 01:09:58.920 come in What if they actually have like an ice 01:09:58.920 --> 01:10:02.039 rink out there? Oh, no, that's an idea around. 01:10:02.039 --> 01:10:04.779 Yeah, that'd be cool Number eight Estes Park, 01:10:05.819 --> 01:10:08.649 Colorado beautiful now We've been there, Boulder, 01:10:08.850 --> 01:10:11.970 Denver, Estes Park, Big Bear, to that old couple 01:10:11.970 --> 01:10:13.430 who's giving me shit because I couldn't breathe, 01:10:13.590 --> 01:10:17.069 bite my ass. Oh, you must be out of towners. 01:10:17.329 --> 01:10:20.550 Nah, he called me a lowlander. Lowlander, that's 01:10:20.550 --> 01:10:23.609 right. He must be a lowlander.

God, that was the worst. 01:10:34.590 --> 01:10:36.289 It was the best and the worst at the same time. 01:10:36.569 --> 01:10:39.510 I could not fucking breathe. Estes Park is just 01:10:39.510 --> 01:10:42.109 kind of that little mountain town, and I just 01:10:42.109 --> 01:10:44.989 could envision everybody all decorated, all the 01:10:44.989 --> 01:10:46.470 lights and everything, and the mountains and 01:10:46.470 --> 01:10:48.630 the snow. That would just be unbelievable. You 01:10:48.630 --> 01:10:50.590 actually get to look up and see the stars at 01:10:50.590 --> 01:10:53.550 night. That was cool. We were in a hot tub one 01:10:53.550 --> 01:10:58.970 night at this lodge we were staying in, and you 01:10:58.970 --> 01:11:01.350 could see every star. Every star. Every freaking 01:11:01.350 --> 01:11:04.520 star. And it was amazing. And then this couple 01:11:04.520 --> 01:11:05.840 went in there, and it looked like they wanted 01:11:05.840 --> 01:11:07.600 to do a couple things. We're like, yeah, we should 01:11:07.600 --> 01:11:09.560 get out of here. It's skedaddle. It's time to 01:11:09.560 --> 01:11:13.560 skedaddle. They did not want to share their hot 01:11:13.560 --> 01:11:16.199 tub time with a... With three dudes. With three 01:11:16.199 --> 01:11:18.779 dudes, right.

Did you see 01:11:23.500 --> 01:11:25.220 those stars up there? What stars? How about this 01:11:25.220 --> 01:11:27.079 weather? How about that weather?

One of my favorite states to drive 01:11:33.340 --> 01:11:36.979 through. Big ass state. Just a great state to 01:11:36.979 --> 01:11:38.859 drive through. Love the mountains and the snow 01:11:38.859 --> 01:11:41.520 and everything and I could just imagine like 01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:44.840 staying at a ranch. Like over the holidays. Oh, 01:11:44.840 --> 01:11:48.439 yeah, and just like doing like a whole like ranch 01:11:48.439 --> 01:11:50.840 weekend where you're like riding horses and all 01:11:50.840 --> 01:11:53.300 that kind of stuff and and just having the snow 01:11:53.300 --> 01:11:55.859 falling in the background and having marshmallows 01:11:55.859 --> 01:11:58.340 like in the fire play like I could just see it 01:11:58.340 --> 01:12:01.359 being awesome Like Billings is cute. Missoula 01:12:01.359 --> 01:12:04.399 is cute. Yep Or just if you're out in the middle 01:12:04.399 --> 01:12:07.779 of nowhere. Oh, yeah, who cares? You know, rattlesnakes 01:12:07.779 --> 01:12:09.199 aren't going to be an issue in December. Right, 01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:12.039 right. At least I don't think so. God, I hope 01:12:12.039 --> 01:12:14.420 not. Rattlesnake comes out of nowhere. He's got 01:12:14.420 --> 01:12:18.319 a park on. Yeah, right. It's like an AP news 01:12:18.319 --> 01:12:20.979 article drops. It's like, Montana rattlesnakes 01:12:20.979 --> 01:12:23.680 become immune to winter. It's like, oh, no. News 01:12:23.680 --> 01:12:30.140 at 10. Number six, New York City. New York City, 01:12:30.619 --> 01:12:32.539 Holiday, Big Tree, I mean you saw Elf, you saw 01:12:32.539 --> 01:12:34.579 the movie Elf, you saw New York at Christmas 01:12:34.579 --> 01:12:39.600 time. It's amazing to stay away from those rangers 01:12:39.600 --> 01:12:42.460 in the park. The park rangers. The park rangers, 01:12:42.680 --> 01:12:45.939 they're not nice guys, stay away from them. Number 01:12:45.939 --> 01:12:48.409 five, Finland. I could have picked Sweden, I 01:12:48.409 --> 01:12:51.609 could have, but like Finland is just more along 01:12:51.609 --> 01:12:56.550 that North Pole vibe, so to speak, and I think 01:12:56.550 --> 01:12:59.529 the Finns just do the holiday upright. Number 01:12:59.529 --> 01:13:02.109 four, Dublin, Ireland. Hell yeah. We talked about 01:13:02.109 --> 01:13:04.170 that. I think it would just be absolutely gorgeous. 01:13:05.189 --> 01:13:07.130 Number three, kind of a tie even though it's 01:13:07.130 --> 01:13:10.069 the same place, Rome slash Vatican City. Oh yeah. 01:13:10.569 --> 01:13:14.439 I think that's, you know, it's the... you know, 01:13:14.880 --> 01:13:17.000 Christian holiday, so why not go where all the 01:13:17.000 --> 01:13:19.819 Catholics go? I imagine they probably put on 01:13:19.819 --> 01:13:22.800 a righteous party. A big show. A big show, so 01:13:22.800 --> 01:13:24.340 to speak, so I think that'd be kind of neat. 01:13:24.560 --> 01:13:27.420 And number two, downtown Chicago. Ah, yeah. I 01:13:27.420 --> 01:13:29.979 might be a homer in that pic, but I've spent 01:13:29.979 --> 01:13:33.729 a lot of holidays there. And it's just beautiful. 01:13:33.789 --> 01:13:35.310 It is gorgeous. It's beautiful. Everybody's in 01:13:35.310 --> 01:13:38.569 a good mood, even if it's cold and snowy. Everybody's 01:13:38.569 --> 01:13:40.609 just, their moods have changed. You go in all 01:13:40.609 --> 01:13:43.250 the stores. The stores are all decorated. The 01:13:43.250 --> 01:13:46.350 Chris Kindle Market at Daily Center is just awesome. 01:13:46.609 --> 01:13:49.010 Gorgeous. They also have one now at Wrigley Field. 01:13:49.069 --> 01:13:50.369 So you can go to Wrigley Field and they have 01:13:50.369 --> 01:13:52.210 a big Chris Kindle Market. You can walk onto 01:13:52.210 --> 01:13:53.850 the field. That's cool. And they have a big ice 01:13:53.850 --> 01:13:56.420 rink. That's what we were just talking about. 01:13:56.420 --> 01:13:58.960 I can't believe I predicted that at Fenway. They're 01:13:58.960 --> 01:14:00.760 doing it at Wrigley. And they are doing it at 01:14:00.760 --> 01:14:02.239 Wrigley. That's crazy. They definitely do it 01:14:02.239 --> 01:14:05.000 at Wrigley. And yeah, there's a lot of pop -ups, 01:14:05.159 --> 01:14:06.880 too. That's one thing the bars in Chicago do. 01:14:06.920 --> 01:14:08.560 They do these pop -ups. There's actually a pop 01:14:08.560 --> 01:14:11.319 -up right now at a bar called Replay, and it's 01:14:11.319 --> 01:14:14.020 a Stranger Things pop -up. Oh, that's fun. So 01:14:14.020 --> 01:14:15.720 they're just real big on these, and there's several 01:14:15.720 --> 01:14:19.020 Christmas pop -ups and Christmas -themed bars. 01:14:19.820 --> 01:14:22.300 They're just cool. It's all part of it, so. That 01:14:22.300 --> 01:14:25.560 is very neat. Yeah. Yeah. That's wicked. Alrighty. 01:14:26.060 --> 01:14:27.600 We actually shared about half of our answers, 01:14:27.619 --> 01:14:30.079 I want to say. We're very close on a lot of these. 01:14:30.220 --> 01:14:32.439 Yeah, no doubt. What do you got for your number 01:14:32.439 --> 01:14:35.239 one? Have I said it yet? It has not been said 01:14:35.239 --> 01:14:38.819 yet. Ooh, okay. I went San Diego, California. 01:14:39.479 --> 01:14:43.199 San Diego. San Diego. This makes me think of 01:14:43.199 --> 01:14:46.979 him drinking that milk in the phone booth. I'm 01:14:46.979 --> 01:14:53.680 in a glass case of emotion. Backstar! But I would 01:14:53.680 --> 01:14:55.579 love to go to San Diego. I was going to pick 01:14:55.579 --> 01:14:59.300 LA, but I'm like, ah, I don't know. I don't know 01:14:59.300 --> 01:15:02.220 if I would want like big city, big city. Although 01:15:02.220 --> 01:15:05.699 San Diego's still a big city. But just like somewhere 01:15:05.699 --> 01:15:09.279 warm and on the west coast and kind of out of 01:15:09.279 --> 01:15:12.229 the way where I can just chill. Yeah. And not 01:15:12.229 --> 01:15:15.229 get hit with any arctic blasts, arctic circles. 01:15:15.229 --> 01:15:17.829 Now, you're good in San Diego, for sure. It's 01:15:17.829 --> 01:15:20.470 like every day is 80 degrees and sunny. Yeah, 01:15:20.689 --> 01:15:25.850 and they have an amazing food truck scene with 01:15:25.850 --> 01:15:28.289 some amazing Mexican food. And I imagine... Oh, 01:15:28.390 --> 01:15:30.850 that's right. That's like my favorite food. And 01:15:30.850 --> 01:15:33.489 that is like right in the wheelhouse, right there 01:15:33.489 --> 01:15:35.810 in San Diego. I mean, what are they like? Less 01:15:35.810 --> 01:15:37.729 than 100 miles from the Mexican border, so... 01:15:37.729 --> 01:15:40.220 Right, right. You know, they have amazing food, 01:15:40.619 --> 01:15:43.760 but you're on the water and yeah, it would just 01:15:43.760 --> 01:15:46.979 be fantastic. Holiday destination. Yeah. Yeah, 01:15:47.000 --> 01:15:48.359 I dig it. I like that. That's my numero uno. 01:15:48.619 --> 01:15:51.220 All right, that's solid. My number one is Germany. 01:15:51.619 --> 01:15:55.119 Germany has been said, but there's so much in 01:15:55.119 --> 01:16:00.359 the traditions of the Christmas holiday that 01:16:00.359 --> 01:16:03.659 are taken from Germany and the Germanic people. 01:16:03.859 --> 01:16:09.479 I feel like Ireland and Germany are the two that 01:16:09.479 --> 01:16:14.420 kind of set up what the modern Christmas holiday 01:16:14.420 --> 01:16:17.600 is here. Sure. I can see that. I think that's 01:16:17.600 --> 01:16:21.880 fair. And so I just love their markets. I want 01:16:21.880 --> 01:16:25.619 to sit in one of those big tents. after buying 01:16:25.619 --> 01:16:29.060 all sorts of little tchotchkes from from the 01:16:29.060 --> 01:16:31.699 people in the market and then just trinkets and 01:16:31.699 --> 01:16:34.340 gadgets trinkets and gadgets and just sit down 01:16:34.340 --> 01:16:38.960 with all of my my newly purchased items and just 01:16:38.960 --> 01:16:42.000 sit there in my literhosen and drink yes a bear 01:16:42.000 --> 01:16:46.359 bigger than my head I think that would be wonderful 01:16:46.359 --> 01:16:49.989 that would be oh yeah I would dig that What a 01:16:49.989 --> 01:16:52.470 great list there's a good list right that is 01:16:52.470 --> 01:16:55.210 fun And I like both of our takes kind on on where 01:16:55.210 --> 01:16:57.590 we were going with that for sure We definitely 01:16:57.590 --> 01:16:59.970 share your number one was my number two, so we 01:16:59.970 --> 01:17:02.630 definitely shared the idea Yeah, and we both 01:17:02.630 --> 01:17:06.189 had Dublin Ireland at number four for sure so 01:17:06.409 --> 01:17:08.270 Same idea. And I like your warm places, though. 01:17:08.630 --> 01:17:11.149 Yeah. Oh, I definitely emphasize. After today, 01:17:11.449 --> 01:17:14.149 which, of course, is Friday for us. It's Saturday. 01:17:14.510 --> 01:17:18.149 I want to go somewhere warm. Oh, it was brutal 01:17:18.149 --> 01:17:21.970 today. Beautifully cold. So like I got home and 01:17:21.970 --> 01:17:24.029 I was just thinking, I'm like, I think I need 01:17:24.029 --> 01:17:26.170 to make some adjustments. I need more warm places 01:17:26.170 --> 01:17:28.550 on my list. Yeah. I made some redactions, put 01:17:28.550 --> 01:17:30.729 some new ones in there. I love that. I'm thinking 01:17:30.729 --> 01:17:35.899 warm. We have one more segment to do before we 01:17:35.899 --> 01:17:39.479 hit our break. While you were sleeping, sleep 01:17:39.479 --> 01:17:42.340 is wonderful. Sleep is great. But sometimes while 01:17:42.340 --> 01:17:44.460 we're doing it, we miss something. Oh, gosh. 01:17:44.819 --> 01:17:46.680 That sounds like it could be devastating. It 01:17:46.680 --> 01:17:49.500 could be. It depends what you're missing. But 01:17:49.500 --> 01:17:53.359 yeah, I have to be honest. Sometimes it's a YouTuber, 01:17:53.579 --> 01:17:57.100 a movie, a TV show. Who knows what we're missing. 01:17:57.300 --> 01:17:58.960 But you know what? I know Aidan's going to tell 01:17:58.960 --> 01:18:01.949 us. I'll find it. And last week I did a YouTuber, 01:18:02.329 --> 01:18:04.810 so this week I'm doing a YouTuber. Because I 01:18:04.810 --> 01:18:07.069 thought of another one. As always, I think last 01:18:07.069 --> 01:18:11.210 week I brought up Summoning Salt. The hyper fixation 01:18:11.210 --> 01:18:14.470 on crazy world records, and Mike Tyson's Punch 01:18:14.470 --> 01:18:16.970 -Out, Lego Star Wars, all that crazy stuff. I 01:18:16.970 --> 01:18:20.310 found another video game -centric channel that 01:18:20.310 --> 01:18:23.909 I thought needed more attention. Because it's 01:18:23.909 --> 01:18:28.279 not like Let's Plays or commentary... Gaming 01:18:28.279 --> 01:18:32.579 like we do it's it's very it's so niche, but 01:18:32.579 --> 01:18:35.760 it like it activates my neurons It's like oh, 01:18:35.859 --> 01:18:39.439 this is this is cool. Yeah, he makes videos doing 01:18:39.439 --> 01:18:43.819 atypical things in video games Oh, okay by the 01:18:43.819 --> 01:18:47.460 name of any Austin Making videos along the lines 01:18:47.460 --> 01:18:50.960 of what's actually illegal in Grand Theft Auto 01:18:50.960 --> 01:18:55.239 where he will spend hours playing GTA V to figure 01:18:55.239 --> 01:18:59.460 out what exactly the cops deem as not breaking 01:18:59.460 --> 01:19:02.779 the law. Right. Or a one -star misdemeanor, if 01:19:02.779 --> 01:19:07.380 you will. Two stars or plus being a felony. Right. 01:19:07.380 --> 01:19:13.500 And actually find out, wow, felony vandalism 01:19:13.500 --> 01:19:16.380 does not actually get a police response. Nope. 01:19:16.779 --> 01:19:19.340 But walking up to the cops and standing there 01:19:19.340 --> 01:19:21.199 for too long, you'll get arrested. You will get 01:19:21.199 --> 01:19:23.939 arrested. Yeah. So he actually spent like hours 01:19:23.939 --> 01:19:28.220 in game sourcing like the data for that Finding 01:19:28.220 --> 01:19:31.899 out what's on the edge of the map of Skyrim like 01:19:31.899 --> 01:19:33.960 walking around the huge map and be like well 01:19:33.960 --> 01:19:37.100 What's actually here? Wow like spending the time 01:19:37.100 --> 01:19:40.159 to do that like our Grand Theft Auto's airports 01:19:40.159 --> 01:19:43.939 realistic like taking data from actual airports 01:19:43.939 --> 01:19:50.039 like like Liberty City and then the airport it's 01:19:50.039 --> 01:19:52.979 based off of and being like Was it real? Like, 01:19:53.039 --> 01:19:55.600 do the runways make sense? Does the spacing make 01:19:55.600 --> 01:19:58.539 sense? He did this whole video on Grand Theft 01:19:58.539 --> 01:20:02.060 Auto's airports and how they're not accurate 01:20:02.060 --> 01:20:05.699 in scale. Like, it would be completely unsafe 01:20:05.699 --> 01:20:10.819 for an actual, like, 787 to land on GTA 5's airports 01:20:10.819 --> 01:20:16.140 because it's way too short. He did a video of, 01:20:16.380 --> 01:20:19.119 like, do Grand Theft Auto's street signs comply 01:20:19.119 --> 01:20:22.210 with California law? And he finds, like, Every 01:20:22.210 --> 01:20:24.930 street sign in the game and comments on it. Oh, 01:20:24.989 --> 01:20:28.289 no way. That's fun. It's crazy. It's super fun 01:20:28.289 --> 01:20:30.649 It's it's a great watch. I highly recommend it. 01:20:30.649 --> 01:20:34.770 It's like it's the kind of niche weird Type of 01:20:34.770 --> 01:20:38.149 content where I'm like, I love this. Yeah, like 01:20:38.149 --> 01:20:40.930 it's it's something I'm so curious about but 01:20:40.930 --> 01:20:43.470 the curiosity never crosses my mind until he 01:20:43.470 --> 01:20:46.069 makes a video I'm like Holy shit, do the signs 01:20:46.069 --> 01:20:48.630 in GTA make sense? I never thought about it. 01:20:48.689 --> 01:20:51.510 Well, the most amazing thing, too, is that even 01:20:51.510 --> 01:20:55.289 though it's not an exact map of Los Angeles, 01:20:55.510 --> 01:20:58.569 California, the very first time I played this 01:20:58.569 --> 01:21:02.470 game, I had this deja vu moment where I went... 01:21:02.430 --> 01:21:04.649 God, I know I have never played this game before, 01:21:04.810 --> 01:21:06.329 but why the hell does it feel like I've played 01:21:06.329 --> 01:21:09.449 this game before? Because I've been to Los Angeles, 01:21:10.010 --> 01:21:11.909 and holy shit, there's the forum. I wonder if 01:21:11.909 --> 01:21:14.609 I can go watch a Lakers game. I mean, I'm literally 01:21:14.609 --> 01:21:17.250 driving around. There's Santa Monica Pier. How 01:21:17.250 --> 01:21:20.329 cool is that? So it's kind of neat. So some of 01:21:20.329 --> 01:21:25.479 that is... I would call it semi -accurate. I 01:21:25.479 --> 01:21:27.579 think there's obviously streets and things that 01:21:27.579 --> 01:21:31.399 they've removed and taken out, but there's sections 01:21:31.399 --> 01:21:33.520 where it's like, holy shit. It's like, yeah. 01:21:33.979 --> 01:21:35.500 It's pretty freaking close. It's like Google 01:21:35.500 --> 01:21:38.119 Street View Accurate. It's like, wow. Yes. Oh 01:21:38.119 --> 01:21:40.500 yeah, for sure. Yeah, no doubt. But it's fun. 01:21:40.819 --> 01:21:42.300 That's awesome. I have definitely got and that 01:21:42.300 --> 01:21:46.020 was any Austin Austin Okay, check out any Austin 01:21:46.020 --> 01:21:48.840 on youtube for sure Thank you for that aiden 01:21:48.840 --> 01:21:51.560 and uh, we'll take a quick break and we're gonna 01:21:51.560 --> 01:21:54.760 finish up. We have a beer review coming and No, 01:21:54.760 --> 01:21:56.220 world of weird news got something a little different 01:22:11.239 --> 01:22:12.640 All right, we are back and we're in the home 01:22:12.640 --> 01:22:15.239 stretch here on the Mark Mo Show podcast.

The restaurant kind of 01:22:49.100 --> 01:22:51.220 diarrhea, but you know, whatever. Yeah, well. 01:22:52.340 --> 01:22:54.859 It is what it is. It is what it is.

From 01:25:20.449 --> 01:25:26.430 Belgian Ales. Holy hell. That's so good. That's 01:25:26.430 --> 01:25:32.409 so good. Oh my gosh. Wowee. I definitely get 01:25:32.409 --> 01:25:38.029 pit fruit. Yeah. Some kind of... Plum or Plum 01:25:38.029 --> 01:25:42.970 apricot you could argue Wow, that is great. That 01:25:42.970 --> 01:25:49.310 is full -bodied if ever full -bodied Beer. Yeah 01:25:49.310 --> 01:25:52.869 were to be embodied. It was it's this. Oh for 01:25:52.869 --> 01:25:56.050 sure. It is full -bodied. That's Very much dark 01:25:56.050 --> 01:25:58.270 pit fruit. They weren't lying on that. I definitely 01:25:58.270 --> 01:26:03.130 get like like plum almost prune In a way? Yeah, 01:26:03.130 --> 01:26:08.250 I'm having a difficulty figuring out the notes 01:26:08.250 --> 01:26:12.470 that I'm picking up. Yeah, because there is a 01:26:12.470 --> 01:26:15.189 touch of cinnamon. What's lasting on my tongue 01:26:15.189 --> 01:26:18.310 is definitely cinnamon -esque. Because it is 01:26:18.310 --> 01:26:21.409 strong. Yes. It has some bite. I would agree. 01:26:25.889 --> 01:26:28.770 I like it though. I would say touch of cinnamon, 01:26:29.069 --> 01:26:32.409 but I am definitely getting like plum, prune, 01:26:32.630 --> 01:26:37.090 apricot, like pit fruit more so than anything. 01:26:37.270 --> 01:26:41.090 And usually Belgians can sometimes sway towards 01:26:41.090 --> 01:26:44.050 almost tasting like banana -esque. I do get a 01:26:44.050 --> 01:26:47.510 touch of that. I definitely get a touch of that. 01:26:48.970 --> 01:26:50.829 It's a good beer though. It is a great beer. 01:26:51.350 --> 01:26:54.409 This is right up my alley. I knew it would be. 01:26:54.510 --> 01:26:58.029 And that's kind of one thing we've come to appreciate 01:26:58.029 --> 01:27:02.569 with these official beer review reviews is you 01:27:02.569 --> 01:27:05.630 get two opinions at once. That's right. You know, 01:27:05.630 --> 01:27:08.210 you get someone that loves IPAs and Belgians. 01:27:08.550 --> 01:27:12.909 You get someone that loves... Ales and lagers. 01:27:13.090 --> 01:27:16.750 Ales and lagers. Irish ale, red ale. Yep, porters. 01:27:16.989 --> 01:27:21.579 Granted, oh yeah, porters and stouts. So if you 01:27:21.579 --> 01:27:24.159 take the average of our two scores you will get 01:27:24.159 --> 01:27:26.220 an accurate representation of what's really going 01:27:26.220 --> 01:27:30.300 It's fair. I think would be fair to say Yeah, 01:27:30.300 --> 01:27:32.640 I did this this flavor profile is it's coming 01:27:32.640 --> 01:27:36.699 together for me. I would say very interesting 01:27:36.699 --> 01:27:40.699 it is the first sip went down and I was like 01:27:40.699 --> 01:27:42.819 Oh, that's not the Belgian. I was expecting and 01:27:42.819 --> 01:27:45.659 then the more I'm sipping it It's like I'm picking 01:27:45.659 --> 01:27:49.550 up like the pit fruit is so strong But then the 01:27:49.550 --> 01:27:52.470 touch of, I'm not getting nutmeg, I'm not getting 01:27:52.470 --> 01:27:58.289 like true Christmasy, like all spice type flavors. 01:27:58.670 --> 01:28:01.869 It's just like hint of cinnamon, and then it's 01:28:01.869 --> 01:28:06.189 like plum. You know? Yeah, cinnamon might be 01:28:06.189 --> 01:28:08.050 one of the only ones I'm picking up, but I'm 01:28:08.050 --> 01:28:10.090 having a hard time picking up some of the other 01:28:10.090 --> 01:28:15.069 ones. But yeah, I mean, it's good, has a little 01:28:15.069 --> 01:28:18.119 bit of bite. But even though it has a little 01:28:18.119 --> 01:28:21.220 bit of bite it does seem to go down smoothly. 01:28:21.279 --> 01:28:27.079 I would agree. Yeah, it said 30 on the IBU which 01:28:27.079 --> 01:28:33.500 There is not a hint of of IPA like bitters That 01:28:33.500 --> 01:28:35.720 I'm picking up. Oh correct. No, no different 01:28:37.260 --> 01:28:40.619 You know, those IPAs where it's like 45 IBU and 01:28:40.619 --> 01:28:42.560 people who are afraid of IPAs might be like, 01:28:42.619 --> 01:28:45.279 ah, that's too high. If you see 30 IBU and you're 01:28:45.279 --> 01:28:48.199 turned away from this, I would say that it's 01:28:48.199 --> 01:28:51.319 not the same. I'm not getting that same. I agree. 01:28:52.100 --> 01:28:54.819 Piney citra hop. You don't. Yeah, you do not. 01:28:56.039 --> 01:29:00.399 Man, I like that. All right. I'm awaiting your 01:29:00.399 --> 01:29:02.880 untapped score. My untapped score, my flavor 01:29:02.880 --> 01:29:07.779 profile in whole is apricot, banana, plums, prunes, 01:29:08.159 --> 01:29:11.180 strong, sweet, and boozy. Ooh, okay. Is what 01:29:11.180 --> 01:29:14.699 I added to it. I'm going high, I'm going back 01:29:14.699 --> 01:29:19.359 in the fours. 425. Really? 425, I really like 01:29:19.359 --> 01:29:23.340 this. Wow. This is one of those beers, I think, 01:29:23.880 --> 01:29:26.399 that maybe you couldn't have more than one or 01:29:26.399 --> 01:29:28.729 two. in an evening and probably shouldn't have 01:29:28.729 --> 01:29:32.409 more than one or two from the from the high ABV 01:29:32.409 --> 01:29:37.170 but it's so it's unique and fulfilling like my 01:29:37.170 --> 01:29:41.329 palate is wholly satisfied yeah in its flavor 01:29:41.329 --> 01:29:44.550 so it's it's getting a four and a quarter that's 01:29:44.550 --> 01:29:48.010 that's uh that's a great score man uh i am going 01:29:48.010 --> 01:29:52.949 to go three two five okay uh and that's simply 01:29:52.949 --> 01:29:57.050 because it's I don't know. There are some Belgians 01:29:57.050 --> 01:30:01.850 I really, really do like. Tutlaman, which is 01:30:01.850 --> 01:30:05.750 a Megadeth creation, is actually an excellent 01:30:05.750 --> 01:30:10.500 Belgian. One of my favorites. The Chame. Belgium's 01:30:10.500 --> 01:30:13.439 are outstanding. Those, I mean, I don't know 01:30:13.439 --> 01:30:15.319 if we've actually done one for the show. We might 01:30:15.319 --> 01:30:18.000 have to do that. But like those, I would probably 01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:22.020 rank close to a four. Yeah. But this one, it's 01:30:22.020 --> 01:30:25.079 a good beer. And, you know, three, two, fives 01:30:25.079 --> 01:30:27.119 where I'm at. That's definitely fair. Oh, and 01:30:27.119 --> 01:30:29.659 my profiles are strong, dark, and smooth. Yeah. 01:30:30.000 --> 01:30:32.699 Totally fair. How do I like my men's strong, 01:30:32.800 --> 01:30:36.659 dark, and smooth? My man. Get in line. Never 01:30:36.659 --> 01:30:40.920 ask for a second cup at home. Okay, that leads 01:30:40.920 --> 01:30:44.000 us to something that is not World of Weird News. 01:30:44.359 --> 01:30:47.439 Oh no. I know. Something we have done a time 01:30:47.439 --> 01:30:50.859 or two. Tier listing. God, I love tier listing. 01:30:50.960 --> 01:30:52.439 Getting back to a little bit of tier listing 01:30:52.439 --> 01:30:55.960 and what are we tier listing? Are we staying 01:30:55.960 --> 01:30:59.039 in the holiday spirit? A little holiday spirit. 01:30:59.060 --> 01:31:02.180 We're gonna be tier listing Christmas movies. 01:31:02.420 --> 01:31:05.760 I love it. We will rank them on a scale from 01:31:05.760 --> 01:31:09.979 F being the worst of the worst. D being bad, 01:31:10.399 --> 01:31:13.260 C being mid, B being good, A being great, S being 01:31:13.260 --> 01:31:17.319 the best of the best. Of the best. Of the best, 01:31:17.359 --> 01:31:20.239 of course. And we're gonna go down this list 01:31:20.239 --> 01:31:22.520 and rank some Christmas movies. I dig it. For 01:31:22.520 --> 01:31:27.460 the season. Sweet. Starting off strong. Scrooged. 01:31:28.520 --> 01:31:31.659 Ooh, I do dig Scrooged. It's great. I like that 01:31:31.659 --> 01:31:33.899 it's a little bit dark. I have no problem with 01:31:33.899 --> 01:31:36.420 that. Bill Murray was absolutely the dude to 01:31:36.420 --> 01:31:40.659 do it. I like the story. I like the actors and 01:31:40.659 --> 01:31:47.039 actresses. Carol Kane. Hilarious. And then was 01:31:47.039 --> 01:31:51.159 it Buster Poindexter? The ghost in the cab. Frickin' 01:31:51.180 --> 01:31:54.439 hilarious. Oh yeah, that's right. I just, I dig 01:31:54.439 --> 01:31:57.600 it. You almost had Beetlejuice vibes. A little 01:31:57.600 --> 01:32:00.779 bit. A little bit. In a way. Yeah. I dig it. 01:32:03.440 --> 01:32:06.300 Seeing as there are a lot of other movies, and 01:32:06.300 --> 01:32:08.779 I don't want to overload the S category. I will 01:32:08.779 --> 01:32:12.779 give it an A. Sure. I will influence that. Oh, 01:32:12.840 --> 01:32:16.180 here we go. I'll argue A+. Okay. I think it's 01:32:16.180 --> 01:32:20.840 great. I'll be the plus or minus man. Okay, A 01:32:20.840 --> 01:32:25.460 +, I will go for. A+. For sure. Die Hard. Clearly, 01:32:25.739 --> 01:32:29.340 unequivocally, a Christmas movie. 100%. 100%. 01:32:29.340 --> 01:32:32.279 100 % a Christmas movie. Unarguably. No doubt. 01:32:33.389 --> 01:32:39.890 Oh, I'm thinking S tier. Not only is it a great 01:32:39.890 --> 01:32:42.729 movie, it is a great Christmas movie. Few and 01:32:42.729 --> 01:32:45.289 far between are the action Christmas movies. 01:32:45.630 --> 01:32:47.710 Right, there's just not many of them. You know, 01:32:47.850 --> 01:32:49.850 ho, ho, ho, now I've got your guns or whatever. 01:32:50.210 --> 01:32:53.930 It's hysterical. I love it. Bruce Willis is the 01:32:53.930 --> 01:32:57.159 man. Snape falls off the tower. Oh, right. Yeah, 01:32:57.159 --> 01:33:00.619 that's just... Nakatomi Plaza, rather. Just one 01:33:00.619 --> 01:33:04.579 liner after one liner. Yippee -ki -yay. Yippee 01:33:04.579 --> 01:33:11.340 -ki -yay. You gotta love that. Okay, S tier. 01:33:11.420 --> 01:33:14.479 That's where I'm at. An S for Bruce Willis. Yes, 01:33:14.619 --> 01:33:21.779 100%. The Grinch Jim Carrey's version. Ooh. I... 01:33:21.770 --> 01:33:25.470 I love Jim Carrey, so I am biased towards it. 01:33:25.630 --> 01:33:28.430 Oh, I am too, and I love Jim Carrey. I love his 01:33:28.430 --> 01:33:31.670 take on it. The little girl who turned out to 01:33:31.670 --> 01:33:34.470 be Taylor Momsen in Pretty Reckless. That's so 01:33:34.470 --> 01:33:38.010 cool. And she just redid the song, Where Are 01:33:38.010 --> 01:33:41.210 You Christmas, and she does it where, like, it's 01:33:41.210 --> 01:33:46.199 her child. Version of that song and then it slips 01:33:46.199 --> 01:33:48.560 into her current hard rock. So cool. I think 01:33:48.560 --> 01:33:51.399 that's just awesome So I love that but that's 01:33:51.399 --> 01:33:52.659 technically not the movie. So we're not gonna 01:33:52.659 --> 01:33:57.319 be swayed I'm gonna go a I like that a is it's 01:33:57.319 --> 01:34:00.659 just solid. It's funny And I dig it. I like that 01:34:00.659 --> 01:34:04.460 a down the middle. Yep. Next up the Santa Claus 01:34:05.229 --> 01:34:08.869 The Santa Claus. C -L -A -U -S -E Claus. Yep, 01:34:08.970 --> 01:34:13.789 I believe that was a Tim Allen vehicle. I love 01:34:13.789 --> 01:34:18.630 that you just did that, that's amazing. Fucking 01:34:18.630 --> 01:34:23.109 Tim Allen. And here's the thing, I like Tim, 01:34:23.409 --> 01:34:25.550 I've liked his older shows, he's a funny dude. 01:34:26.140 --> 01:34:28.579 He's very Midwestern. He's from Michigan. So 01:34:28.579 --> 01:34:31.439 like that whole Midwestern humor thing only people 01:34:31.439 --> 01:34:36.319 in Midwest kind of get it but I dig him I The 01:34:36.319 --> 01:34:40.640 movie though To me is mid. It's not on the itinerary 01:34:40.640 --> 01:34:42.880 to watch every year. It really isn't for me No, 01:34:43.279 --> 01:34:45.720 but I I will it being in the Christmas spirit. 01:34:45.739 --> 01:34:48.079 I will throw a plus on him I will give it a C 01:34:48.079 --> 01:34:51.699 plus C plus. I like that. No notes next up a 01:34:51.699 --> 01:34:56.640 Charlie Brown Christmas I have a soft spot for 01:34:56.640 --> 01:35:00.779 this. Me too, honestly. And honestly, it's because 01:35:00.779 --> 01:35:05.779 Charles Schulz... was incredibly depressed when 01:35:05.779 --> 01:35:08.899 he wrote this. And if you watch it and take the 01:35:08.899 --> 01:35:11.300 time to just soak this thing in, you're just 01:35:11.300 --> 01:35:13.340 like, holy shit. You can pick up on the notes. 01:35:13.340 --> 01:35:17.159 It's like the saddest Christmas shit ever. Sometimes 01:35:17.159 --> 01:35:20.380 Christmases are like that. But that's why I love 01:35:20.380 --> 01:35:22.760 it. It's real. It's like for people that go through 01:35:22.760 --> 01:35:25.619 seasonal depression, you watch that and you go, 01:35:25.699 --> 01:35:29.020 yup, yup, this right here. This is exactly. And 01:35:29.020 --> 01:35:32.239 I think it's the Vince Giroldi trio. That does 01:35:32.239 --> 01:35:34.159 most of the soundtrack for it. Yes, correct. 01:35:34.739 --> 01:35:38.260 Iconic. It matches perfectly. Iconic. You know 01:35:38.260 --> 01:35:40.300 what? I'm gonna throw this out there, and maybe 01:35:40.300 --> 01:35:43.279 I'm wrong for doing it, but S -tier. S -tier. 01:35:43.420 --> 01:35:46.140 I like that. S -tier for sure. I absolutely agree. 01:35:46.279 --> 01:35:48.640 I would argue S +, but we're not down the list 01:35:48.640 --> 01:35:54.319 yet. Right.

First off, it goes back to family tradition. 01:37:57.899 --> 01:38:01.260 I used to watch it with my sister on Thanksgiving 01:38:01.260 --> 01:38:04.739 night.

Cousin Eddie is just... the car, feed 01:48:21.489 --> 01:48:24.729 the hog, do the laundry. It's just amazing. Gee, 01:48:24.829 --> 01:48:28.250 look at the time. It's so good. And then it's 01:48:28.250 --> 01:48:31.329 them cutting down the tree. Oh, yeah. It's everything. 01:48:31.409 --> 01:48:33.590 Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Fix the null post. 01:48:36.029 --> 01:48:41.390 You know, I was in A +, but I think I got to 01:48:41.390 --> 01:48:44.329 bump it to S tier. I'm going S. Yeah. I like 01:48:44.329 --> 01:48:46.250 S. I got to bump it to S tier. I would have been 01:48:46.250 --> 01:48:49.210 upset if it wasn't S. Yeah, it's an S. Next up, 01:48:49.409 --> 01:48:53.850 the final three, A Christmas Story. That's another 01:48:53.850 --> 01:48:55.989 one that's interesting to me because it's such 01:48:55.989 --> 01:48:59.630 a classic. It is. I love the time period for 01:48:59.630 --> 01:49:02.810 that movie because it just lets you believe in 01:49:02.810 --> 01:49:06.130 the magic of Christmas a little bit. And so for 01:49:06.130 --> 01:49:10.350 that, it's amazing. It's special. But once again, 01:49:10.989 --> 01:49:13.979 looking at it for what it is. Ralph's a dick. 01:49:14.380 --> 01:49:16.800 He throws his best friend under the bus. Oh, 01:49:16.880 --> 01:49:19.920 where'd you use the f -word? Oh, is my buddy. 01:49:20.420 --> 01:49:22.500 Yeah. Calls it up. The mom's beating the shit 01:49:22.500 --> 01:49:24.380 out of it. It's like he just threw his kid under, 01:49:24.380 --> 01:49:25.680 a friend under the bus. Right. And the other 01:49:25.680 --> 01:49:27.140 friend, they threw him under the bus when his 01:49:27.140 --> 01:49:29.340 tongue was stuck to the pole. Right. Ah, recess 01:49:29.340 --> 01:49:31.699 over. I got a bounce. Right. And then doesn't 01:49:31.699 --> 01:49:33.760 even say, I mean he could have gone to class 01:49:33.760 --> 01:49:36.300 and been like, hey. My buddy's out there, and 01:49:36.300 --> 01:49:38.399 he put his tongue in the pool. Right. How difficult 01:49:38.399 --> 01:49:41.300 of a situation would that have been? That's a 01:49:41.300 --> 01:49:45.140 lack of emotional intelligence. Right. So he's 01:49:45.140 --> 01:49:49.779 got problems. Yeah. I like when he wails on the 01:49:49.779 --> 01:49:52.479 bully, though. That's pretty great. He pops the 01:49:52.479 --> 01:49:55.260 shit out of him. Right. Pop, pop, pop, pop. And 01:49:55.260 --> 01:50:00.720 I love the bigger kid of the bullies just casting. 01:50:01.460 --> 01:50:04.340 Primo like yeah, hey, let's find a kid that really 01:50:04.340 --> 01:50:07.340 looks like a bully that dude like yeah bully 01:50:07.340 --> 01:50:09.859 all the way and then his little his little toadies 01:50:09.859 --> 01:50:14.359 his little toadie is is dressed like a 35 year 01:50:14.359 --> 01:50:19.300 old man his coat and his 1920s gangster he really 01:50:19.300 --> 01:50:21.920 is and he's like God it's really funny. I mean 01:50:21.920 --> 01:50:26.659 he's totally like a gangster So but there's like 01:50:26.659 --> 01:50:29.800 a good message and it's a fun movie spirit spirit. 01:50:29.800 --> 01:50:34.319 I love the Chinese Christmas dinner and the dogs 01:50:34.319 --> 01:50:39.180 and Fragile must be Italian and it's the leg 01:50:39.180 --> 01:50:45.800 in the window Looking at me You know, I was looking 01:50:45.800 --> 01:50:49.460 at this dog the bumpers his dogs I was thinking 01:50:49.460 --> 01:50:52.600 S tier, I gotta go A plus. I like that. I gotta 01:50:52.600 --> 01:50:56.220 go A plus. Yeah, that's a fair score. Penultimate 01:50:56.220 --> 01:51:00.460 one, The Polar Express. The Polar Express, another 01:51:00.460 --> 01:51:02.380 one. Believe it or not, I've not seen the movie 01:51:02.380 --> 01:51:04.300 in its entirety. I've seen - I'm in the same 01:51:04.300 --> 01:51:06.579 boat actually. Bits and pieces maybe a dozen 01:51:06.579 --> 01:51:09.420 times. Like it's on and then I get busy and whatever. 01:51:10.340 --> 01:51:13.960 Which, that's point enough to show it's on. And 01:51:13.960 --> 01:51:16.039 it's not good enough to hold your attention. 01:51:16.119 --> 01:51:18.300 To hold my attention. Yeah. Whereas, like, if 01:51:18.300 --> 01:51:20.500 I'm going to sit down and do It's a Wonderful 01:51:20.500 --> 01:51:22.960 Life, it's an event. Oh, yeah. And I'm getting 01:51:22.960 --> 01:51:25.180 pie, and I'm getting eggnog, and I'm getting 01:51:25.180 --> 01:51:27.539 my blanket, and I'm getting under there, and 01:51:27.539 --> 01:51:29.979 the lights are off. Yeah. I'm not moving for 01:51:29.979 --> 01:51:33.380 the next hour 20. Right. And Polar Express is 01:51:33.380 --> 01:51:39.699 dark. And it times. And to me, it's not as magical. 01:51:39.720 --> 01:51:44.159 Sure. For me. And as you say, the story's not 01:51:44.159 --> 01:51:46.800 super captivating, at least not for me. It's 01:51:46.800 --> 01:51:48.659 like, oh, it's a Polar Express. It's like, all 01:51:48.659 --> 01:51:50.520 right, whatever. Yeah, right. And even though 01:51:50.520 --> 01:51:53.659 it's Tom Hanks, and Tom Hanks is the G in his 01:51:53.659 --> 01:51:56.720 so many great movies, like this one is mid to 01:51:56.720 --> 01:52:00.359 me. And I go, I'm going to be nice again. C plus. 01:52:00.600 --> 01:52:03.439 C plus. I'd have argued C. All right, let's go 01:52:03.439 --> 01:52:05.460 C. We'll go C. Because I was thinking that, actually. 01:52:05.560 --> 01:52:08.119 Yeah, yeah. Yep. The final one on the list I 01:52:08.119 --> 01:52:12.859 have is The Grinch. Dr. Seuss animated version. 01:52:13.460 --> 01:52:15.779 The animated version. Excellent. Excellent. I 01:52:15.779 --> 01:52:19.960 love it. I love it. I love the music. The music's, 01:52:20.039 --> 01:52:22.199 oh my, that's the original score. Was it Boris 01:52:22.199 --> 01:52:25.300 Karloff, I think? Did the, did he do the voice? 01:52:25.880 --> 01:52:31.020 Sounds. I wanna, I wanna say he maybe did. But 01:52:31.020 --> 01:52:34.560 I love the animation to it. The dog, he's just 01:52:34.560 --> 01:52:36.600 the best. As a matter of fact, I think I have 01:52:36.600 --> 01:52:39.579 a fluffy. Him yeah somewhere him and the Grinch. 01:52:39.579 --> 01:52:43.199 I have both of those I love them. I love the 01:52:43.199 --> 01:52:49.539 story little little Cindy Lou who?
