co -host and producer all around. G, if you will,

00:00:49.990 --> 00:00:51.729
Aidan Maloney. Good morning, dude. How are you?

00:00:51.950 --> 00:00:55.109
Morning. I'm doing OK. Little sleepy still. Oh,

00:00:55.170 --> 00:00:57.329
yeah. Bit of a weird end to the week, but it's

00:00:57.329 --> 00:00:58.990
the weekend now, which means we forget about

00:00:58.990 --> 00:01:02.219
all that. It's yeah, you have to just for sanity

00:01:02.219 --> 00:01:04.379
sake alone man. You have to forget about that

00:01:04.379 --> 00:01:07.719
crap But uh, yeah a little chilly outside. Don't

00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.680
like it that much. But hey, at least it's not

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:15.379
the the wind chills of last week Negative three

00:01:15.379 --> 00:01:19.060
degree right we went for anyone not in the Midwest.

00:01:19.060 --> 00:01:20.980
I'm not sure if you guys had the same phenomenon

00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:25.700
But in the Midwest us we had a day about three

00:01:25.700 --> 00:01:29.349
four inches of rain Almost 70 degrees. Yeah,

00:01:29.510 --> 00:01:33.890
55, 60 degrees. And the next morning, negative

00:01:33.890 --> 00:01:35.969
three degree windchill. Yeah, so all that rain

00:01:35.969 --> 00:01:40.930
froze. Yeah, perceived 65 degree difference in

00:01:40.930 --> 00:01:44.049
felt temperature overnight. Overnight, yeah.

00:01:44.469 --> 00:01:47.590
What a nightmare! Yeah, that was a thing. Believe

00:01:47.590 --> 00:01:49.569
it or not, that's the second time so far this

00:01:49.569 --> 00:01:51.730
winter that's happened. And we're supposed to

00:01:51.730 --> 00:01:54.939
get a warm -up again this coming week. back up

00:01:54.939 --> 00:01:58.120
into the upper 40s into the 50s, and we're probably

00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.439
gonna have another similar day, and then the

00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:01.879
temps are gonna crash. Another cold snap, yeah.

00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:05.280
I just feel this is becoming what winter is now.

00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:07.920
The new normal. Yep. Yeah, not that it's good,

00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.280
but it's here. Yeah. We can't control it. Climate

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.319
change weird climate patterns. It's all it's

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.400
all happening right in front of our eyes good

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.259
times Yeah, oil companies been real quiet Yep,

00:02:20.259 --> 00:02:23.659
real quiet. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they can frack off

00:02:23.659 --> 00:02:27.819
Hey, hey, how about that? Anyway, Aidan also

00:02:27.819 --> 00:02:29.979
has a YouTube gaming channel called Aidan spelled

00:02:29.979 --> 00:02:32.759
the right way and just like this show we kind

00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:37.039
of do a holiday break every year and so he's

00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.849
gonna be up and going playing games like guesser

00:02:40.849 --> 00:02:43.789
and Polly Bridge and Observation Duty and a lot

00:02:43.789 --> 00:02:47.930
of other stuff so what can people expect coming

00:02:47.930 --> 00:02:49.990
out of this break? Coming out of this break usually

00:02:49.990 --> 00:02:53.389
I take about a two -week break for the holidays

00:02:53.389 --> 00:02:56.169
on Aiden's Bow the Right Way and AK -209 but

00:02:56.169 --> 00:02:58.650
this year was a three -week break stress of the

00:02:58.650 --> 00:03:00.229
holidays kind of got to me so I'll be coming

00:03:00.229 --> 00:03:03.330
back full force gonna have some excellent returning

00:03:03.330 --> 00:03:05.990
series like Polly Bridge and Observation Duty

00:03:05.990 --> 00:03:08.490
and then a handful of new games I've got cooking

00:03:08.490 --> 00:03:12.060
up I love it. That's great. Very exciting. It's

00:03:12.060 --> 00:03:15.259
really interesting stuff. It's fun. Aiden plays

00:03:15.259 --> 00:03:18.900
a lot of interesting PC games that I don't think...

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.659
you know, a lot of you regular, maybe PlayStation

00:03:22.659 --> 00:03:26.620
gamers or Xbox or anything might recognize, but

00:03:26.620 --> 00:03:28.560
it's really cool stuff and you should check it

00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.840
out. And sometimes he does these beta games too,

00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.699
where he gets on there and kicks the tires like

00:03:34.699 --> 00:03:38.080
the fires and it's good stuff. So definitely

00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.500
check out Aidan's gaming page. And if you enjoy

00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:45.379
gaming, check out AK209GuysBeingDudes on YouTube.

00:03:45.900 --> 00:03:49.460
We resurrected this popular podcast and changed

00:03:49.460 --> 00:03:53.400
it into a collaborative gaming channel. All the

00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.819
gaming fun from Aidan Swell, The Right Way, along

00:03:55.819 --> 00:03:59.819
with the improv craziness from The Mo Show. And

00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:02.060
I think, I don't know, we've had pretty good

00:04:02.060 --> 00:04:05.300
response so far. Yeah. People are are definitely

00:04:05.300 --> 00:04:07.900
enjoying it. Vibing with it. Yeah, no doubt.

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.819
And I'm loving it because, I mean, I'm an old

00:04:10.819 --> 00:04:12.740
school gamer, so I'm kind of new to some of these

00:04:12.740 --> 00:04:14.819
games. And Aidan and I have pretty much been

00:04:14.819 --> 00:04:17.759
playing two games in particular. But I'm pretty

00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.860
sure will at some point will will expand that

00:04:20.860 --> 00:04:23.819
a little bit to include some other things because

00:04:23.819 --> 00:04:29.000
the whole idea Is not only to play a game? But

00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.560
to play a game where we can interact and we can

00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.639
use those improvisational skills right and just

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.569
I mean if you followed us so far You know, there

00:04:38.569 --> 00:04:43.970
was a space bear thing, and that was absolutely

00:04:43.970 --> 00:04:48.290
amazing. Top 10 moments of 2025 for me right

00:04:48.290 --> 00:04:51.430
there. Absolutely. To the point where I paused

00:04:51.430 --> 00:04:53.529
the show and I'm like, hang on, I grabbed my

00:04:53.529 --> 00:04:55.709
phone, looked at Aidan, I'm like, yeah, you keep

00:04:55.709 --> 00:04:57.490
playing the game. I need to figure this shit

00:04:57.490 --> 00:05:01.110
out. My God, I was right. And you were right.

00:05:01.230 --> 00:05:03.250
You were right. I'm like, this guy's all over

00:05:03.250 --> 00:05:05.589
with whatever he's... I have to figure this out.

00:05:06.110 --> 00:05:08.129
It's a live reset. while he's playing a game.

00:05:08.129 --> 00:05:13.490
It was crazy. But it was also a lot of fun. And

00:05:13.490 --> 00:05:18.329
then also when we did the GeoGuessr, that's always

00:05:18.329 --> 00:05:20.689
a lot of fun because you never know what's going

00:05:20.689 --> 00:05:23.009
to pop up on your screen where you're at, who

00:05:23.009 --> 00:05:25.290
you're going to see, a sign you might see, a

00:05:25.290 --> 00:05:28.389
sign that may say ask. I mean, you just never

00:05:28.389 --> 00:05:31.750
know. So we've had a blast with that. I've had

00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:36.540
so much fun. It's very fun. But anyway. If you

that way uh as i said i've only got three or

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.139
four more shows made a decision to leave the

00:06:30.139 --> 00:06:34.060
station Kind of did already anyway, but just

00:06:34.060 --> 00:06:36.459
to honor Businesses that gave me their money.

00:06:36.459 --> 00:06:38.600
I kind of kept this one going on the station

00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.920
for a while and Now it's time. Yeah, and now

00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.019
it's time to pack it up and put it put it in

00:06:44.019 --> 00:06:47.560
the The old shoebox and throw it in the closet

00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.699
put in the Disney vault put in the Disney ball

00:06:49.699 --> 00:06:51.740
But once again, I've told people because people

00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:55.180
are like, oh my god, you're not damn like It's

00:06:55.180 --> 00:06:58.279
not a forever thing There's certain things in

00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.060
my life. I need to figure out I also want to

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:03.680
put focus into what we're doing here on the Mark

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.639
Mo show in AK -209. And to be able to do all

00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.360
those things, sometimes you just got cut stuff

00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.920
loose. So it's a good time to do that. And then

00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:16.740
it can live again. There are internet radio shows,

00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:21.019
channels, if you will, websites that have kind

00:07:21.019 --> 00:07:22.740
of courted me in the past. So I'm going to see

00:07:22.740 --> 00:07:27.040
if I can resurrect that. work it into ye olde

00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.620
budget at some point. But so it's gone for now,

00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:32.439
not gone forever. Right. That's kind of what

00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.500
I'm telling people. So because I love doing it,

00:07:35.500 --> 00:07:38.060
I love playing music. You and I are both very,

00:07:38.060 --> 00:07:41.040
very, very much music files. I mean, we just

00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.480
we love this stuff in so many different genres

00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:48.040
in that country. Yeah. Sorry. With one caveat.

00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.920
With one caveat, like if you're Johnny Cash and

00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.220
like guys from that area, you kind of get a pass.

00:07:54.730 --> 00:07:59.310
Uh, everything after like 1985. Yeah, it just

00:07:59.310 --> 00:08:02.129
became Christian nationalism with an acoustic

00:08:02.129 --> 00:08:04.569
guitar. Right. And then it's like, oh, well,

00:08:04.569 --> 00:08:08.550
let's make it pop music with a twang. Right.

00:08:08.889 --> 00:08:12.810
Wow, that's original. Yeah. So yeah. So we're

00:08:12.810 --> 00:08:15.110
obviously we're not country music fans. We just

00:08:15.110 --> 00:08:18.149
don't like it very much. But it's not to say

00:08:18.149 --> 00:08:19.829
we don't appreciate people. Like some of the

00:08:19.829 --> 00:08:22.889
stuff Post Malone's done is pretty neat. You

00:08:22.889 --> 00:08:25.189
know, some stuff Jelly Roll's done. But they're

00:08:25.189 --> 00:08:27.389
atypical. They're not typical. Those guys are

00:08:27.389 --> 00:08:29.600
not typical. country. Those guys are different.

00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.840
So yeah, for the most part, that's a no -go.

00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.799
It's a no -go. Non -starter. But just about everything

00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:41.080
else. Love it. Jazz, blues, whatever. It's all

00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.279
good stuff. But anyway, as I say, I'm with the

00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.639
show. And what we're talking about this week

00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:53.639
is from the title of the show, Like That Gas.

00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.059
So you can flip that around and put a wordplay.

00:08:57.379 --> 00:09:01.539
Yeah, wordplay. And my brain stopped. OK, I'm

00:09:01.539 --> 00:09:04.299
back. You need a quick reload. I did need it.

00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.860
I did. I needed a reboot. And I mean, it's not

00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:09.019
like a modern computer. You know, plug it and

00:09:09.019 --> 00:09:12.159
plug it back. I've got Windows 95, man. It's

00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:16.200
loading bars on Windows XP. Oh, exactly. Come

00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.679
on. And then it's like you're waiting and you're

00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.080
waiting. Twelve minutes pass. Still staring at

00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.850
the logo. You're like, come on, man. You know?

00:09:25.070 --> 00:09:28.190
Oh, don't forget about Clippy. Little paperclip

00:09:28.190 --> 00:09:31.330
guy. He used to be like, haha. I can help you

00:09:31.330 --> 00:09:33.529
understand your PC. I can help you understand

00:09:33.529 --> 00:09:34.850
your PC. And then you ask him any question and

00:09:34.850 --> 00:09:37.669
it's like, well, I don't know. Couldn't tell

00:09:37.669 --> 00:09:39.789
you. He just keeps popping up, hey, that's not

00:09:39.789 --> 00:09:43.429
a sentence. Just fuck off, Clippy. Hey, are you

00:09:43.429 --> 00:09:46.970
a fucking moron? Clippy, I'm gonna jump in this

00:09:46.970 --> 00:09:52.570
PC, I swear to God. Oh my God. But anyway, it

00:09:52.570 --> 00:09:56.970
is... it's undeniably difficult to watch someone

00:09:56.970 --> 00:09:59.889
you love struggle with the effects of alcohol

00:09:59.889 --> 00:10:03.269
and drug use. And even when you can clearly see

00:10:03.269 --> 00:10:06.429
that they've got a problem, your friend or family

00:10:06.429 --> 00:10:08.830
member may insist that, ah, everything's fine.

00:10:09.129 --> 00:10:11.529
You know, everything's okay. You know, the dog

00:10:11.529 --> 00:10:13.309
in the burning house with the cup of coffee.

00:10:13.950 --> 00:10:17.070
Right. You know, and I've seen friends deal with

00:10:17.070 --> 00:10:22.279
this, whether they have the disorder or... or

00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.940
they are the significant other, and they're on

00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:28.299
the receiving end of all of that. So I did a

00:10:28.299 --> 00:10:31.460
little bit of research, and according to Waypoint

00:10:31.460 --> 00:10:34.879
Recovery Center, gaslighting is a tactic used

00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:36.919
to deceive and manipulate others by making them

00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:40.059
doubt their own perceptions. Memories, insanity,

00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.700
the term gaslighting, believe it or not, and

00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:45.500
I... I was kind of diving into this and I found

00:10:45.500 --> 00:10:47.620
this explanation I thought was really interesting.

00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.159
The term gaslighting originated from a 1938 play

00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.159
called Gaslight written by a British novelist

00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:58.279
and playwright Patrick Hamilton. The play features

00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.500
a husband in the 1880s London who is trying to

00:11:01.500 --> 00:11:04.820
drive his wife insane so he can steal from their

00:11:04.820 --> 00:11:08.289
wealthy upstairs neighbor. The ultimate goal

00:11:08.289 --> 00:11:11.250
of gaslighting is to undermine the victims confidence

00:11:11.250 --> 00:11:13.769
and self -esteem to make them easier to control

00:11:13.769 --> 00:11:17.169
It can occur in many different types of relationships

00:11:17.169 --> 00:11:19.970
including personal relationships professional

00:11:19.970 --> 00:11:24.110
settings. I know that one with co -workers or

00:11:24.110 --> 00:11:27.750
managers People with alcohol or drug use disorders

00:11:27.750 --> 00:11:31.149
may employ gaslighting to deflect attention from

00:11:31.149 --> 00:11:34.450
their drinking or drug problem or to maintain

00:11:34.450 --> 00:11:36.970
the upper hand in their relationships. Knowing

00:11:36.970 --> 00:11:40.269
how to identify this behavior and what you can

00:11:40.269 --> 00:11:42.730
do to manage the situation can help you protect

00:11:42.730 --> 00:11:46.549
your own mental health while you continue to

00:11:46.549 --> 00:11:49.210
encourage your friend or family member to get

00:11:49.210 --> 00:11:54.100
the care that they need. Now, how alcohol or

00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:58.360
drug use disorders can lead to gaslighting. It's

00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.379
really a form of emotional abuse that can have

00:12:01.379 --> 00:12:03.440
severe psychological and emotional effects on

00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:08.000
the victim. Here are a few ways, once again according

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.200
to Waypoint, here are a few ways that gaslighting

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.139
may be used by individuals with alcohol or drug

00:12:14.139 --> 00:12:17.940
disorders. Denying or minimizing the extent of

00:12:17.940 --> 00:12:20.899
a drinking or drug problem. People with alcohol

00:12:20.899 --> 00:12:25.259
use disorders may dismiss concerns raised by

00:12:25.259 --> 00:12:27.539
others by making statements like, I don't have

00:12:27.539 --> 00:12:30.220
a drinking or drug problem or you're exaggerating

00:12:30.220 --> 00:12:33.240
or I can stop anytime I want, but I just choose

00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.549
not to. Blaming others. for their addiction -related

00:12:37.549 --> 00:12:40.330
behavior. Individuals with alcohol or drug use

00:12:40.330 --> 00:12:43.169
blame their drinking and drug use on external

00:12:43.169 --> 00:12:45.269
factors or other people, making statements such

00:12:45.269 --> 00:12:48.269
as, if you didn't stress me out so much, I wouldn't

00:12:48.269 --> 00:12:51.830
need to drink or do drugs, or I only drink or

00:12:51.830 --> 00:12:55.590
do drugs because of you and your behavior. Another

00:12:55.590 --> 00:12:58.370
one is distorting events to make them seem less

00:12:58.370 --> 00:13:00.809
troublesome. Individuals with these types of

00:13:00.809 --> 00:13:03.190
disorders say things like, You're remembering

00:13:03.190 --> 00:13:05.730
it wrong, or I didn't act that way, or you must

00:13:05.730 --> 00:13:08.809
have misunderstood what happened. Familiar with

00:13:08.809 --> 00:13:12.110
that one too? Yeah, yep. Invalidating your feelings

00:13:12.110 --> 00:13:14.429
is another thing. So people with alcohol or drug

00:13:14.429 --> 00:13:16.730
disorders may invalidate the concerns of those

00:13:16.730 --> 00:13:19.009
around them, making statements such as, you're

00:13:19.009 --> 00:13:22.309
being too sensitive, it's not a big deal, or

00:13:22.309 --> 00:13:25.169
you're overreacting, everyone drinks or does

00:13:25.169 --> 00:13:31.110
drugs. Okay, sure. Now, how... possibly to stop

00:13:31.110 --> 00:13:34.309
gaslighting and encourage your loved one to seek

00:13:34.309 --> 00:13:37.830
addiction treatment. Gaslighting can exacerbate

00:13:37.830 --> 00:13:41.809
the emotional harm caused by an alcohol or drug

00:13:41.809 --> 00:13:44.309
disorder and further strain relationships. Here

00:13:44.309 --> 00:13:47.370
are some tips to help you protect your own mental

00:13:47.370 --> 00:13:50.309
health while still continuing to encourage that

00:13:50.309 --> 00:13:52.529
person that's important to you to seek addiction

00:13:52.529 --> 00:13:55.370
treatment. Number one, you have to trust your

00:13:55.370 --> 00:13:58.460
instincts. And trust me, It's a long story, so

00:13:58.460 --> 00:13:59.980
I won't give it to you. Maybe not today. Maybe

00:13:59.980 --> 00:14:03.559
another day. But I have a very heightened sense

00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:06.779
of instincts. Like, I have this gut feeling it

00:14:06.779 --> 00:14:08.860
is right 95 % of the time. And when I don't listen

00:14:08.860 --> 00:14:13.259
to it, I regret it because it was right. And

00:14:13.259 --> 00:14:16.200
some of us don't have that, which is why there's

00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.940
a problem. But gaslighting often makes you doubt

00:14:18.940 --> 00:14:21.240
yourself and your reality. Trust your instincts

00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.360
and acknowledge your concern about your loved

00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:27.620
one's drinking or drug use as valid. Super important.

00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.620
Use I statements when you speak about the addiction.

00:14:32.379 --> 00:14:34.580
So express your concerns using I statements to

00:14:34.580 --> 00:14:37.299
avoid sounding accusatory. For example, say,

00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.879
I feel worried about your drinking or drug use

00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.019
and its effect on your health and relationship

00:14:44.019 --> 00:14:47.620
instead of your drinking too much and your causing

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:51.080
problems. Right. So I think that is a very helpful

00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:54.399
one using the I one because it's so easy for

00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:57.440
us to go the other route. It's very in line with

00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:00.759
nonviolent communication as well. Yeah. Where

00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.919
there are great books out there and videos on

00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.220
nonviolent communication and that is very much

00:15:07.220 --> 00:15:11.690
in line with that type of... Communication. Yeah.

00:15:11.850 --> 00:15:16.470
Oh, for sure. You can also focus on observable

00:15:16.470 --> 00:15:19.730
behaviors and consequences. Discuss specific

00:15:19.730 --> 00:15:21.970
instances or behaviors related to their drinking

00:15:21.970 --> 00:15:24.230
or drug use that you have personally witnessed

00:15:24.230 --> 00:15:27.350
or experienced. Point out the negative consequences

00:15:27.350 --> 00:15:29.950
that have resulted from their alcohol or drug

00:15:29.950 --> 00:15:32.830
use, such as strained relationships, declining

00:15:32.830 --> 00:15:36.610
health, or work -related issues. You can express

00:15:36.610 --> 00:15:40.090
empathy and support. Let your friend or family

00:15:40.090 --> 00:15:42.509
member know that you care about their well -being

00:15:42.509 --> 00:15:44.970
and you want to help them get care that they

00:15:44.970 --> 00:15:48.049
need to manage their condition. Emphasize that

00:15:48.049 --> 00:15:51.470
you're coming from a place of concern and offer

00:15:51.470 --> 00:15:54.350
your support in their journey towards recovery.

00:15:55.830 --> 00:15:59.309
Avoid arguments and defensiveness and this one

00:15:59.309 --> 00:16:02.070
should have an asterisk and bolded and everything

00:16:02.070 --> 00:16:06.269
because It's so easy for someone that gaslights

00:16:06.269 --> 00:16:09.669
you for you to just blow up and write an argument.

00:16:09.889 --> 00:16:13.629
Right. Right. So I, man, do I get this one. Stay

00:16:13.629 --> 00:16:15.990
calm. Avoid getting into arguments, which the

00:16:15.990 --> 00:16:18.110
other night I did stay calm in a certain situation.

00:16:18.110 --> 00:16:20.809
And I give myself a gold star for that because

00:16:20.809 --> 00:16:24.389
if anyone knows me, staying calm isn't always

00:16:24.389 --> 00:16:28.269
a strong suit for me. Sometimes I have to walk

00:16:28.269 --> 00:16:30.570
away, bite my tongue. Yeah. Punch a brick wall.

00:16:30.629 --> 00:16:33.669
Whatever I have to do. But it's not always one

00:16:33.669 --> 00:16:35.330
of my strong suits. I did it the other night.

00:16:35.330 --> 00:16:38.549
I'm really happy I did. But yeah, stay calm.

00:16:38.629 --> 00:16:41.549
Avoid getting into arguments or engaging in circular

00:16:41.549 --> 00:16:45.129
conversations. Keep your focus on the need for

00:16:45.129 --> 00:16:48.629
treatment. Encourage them to evaluate their own

00:16:48.629 --> 00:16:52.129
behavior. Ask open -ended questions that encourage

00:16:52.129 --> 00:16:55.629
self -reflection such as, how do you feel alcohol

00:16:55.629 --> 00:16:57.909
or drugs is affecting your life? Or what are

00:16:57.909 --> 00:17:01.269
some changes you would like to see? in your life.

00:17:01.710 --> 00:17:04.230
And I think that is a super important one, too,

00:17:04.769 --> 00:17:06.529
because when you ask those open -ended questions,

00:17:06.769 --> 00:17:08.910
you're forcing them to talk and communicate.

00:17:09.549 --> 00:17:14.170
And not just, yes, no, I don't know, because

00:17:14.170 --> 00:17:16.049
those aren't acceptable in those types of questions.

00:17:16.269 --> 00:17:19.329
It forces the hand to be introspective, whether

00:17:19.329 --> 00:17:21.630
or not they communicate about it. Those questions

00:17:21.630 --> 00:17:23.670
are going to be in their head. Oh, for sure.

00:17:24.049 --> 00:17:26.369
That's important. Yeah, there's no doubt about

00:17:26.369 --> 00:17:29.579
that. Offer to assist in seeking treatment. Let

00:17:29.579 --> 00:17:31.619
them know that you're willing to help them find

00:17:31.619 --> 00:17:34.000
treatment options, accompany them to appointments

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.440
or provide support during the recovery journey.

00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.319
Assure them that they won't be alone in the process.

00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:43.460
Another one that I think is important, set boundaries

00:17:43.460 --> 00:17:45.779
and expectations that protect your mental health.

00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:49.119
Clearly communicate your boundaries and expectations.

00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.480
Reinforce that you will support the recovery

00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.900
but not enable their destructive behavior patterns.

00:17:56.789 --> 00:18:02.069
Um, and then the last one here, uh, seek support

00:18:02.069 --> 00:18:03.930
from others, reach out to trusted friends or

00:18:03.930 --> 00:18:06.349
support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous and

00:18:06.349 --> 00:18:10.670
so many other, um, you know, alcohol and drug

00:18:10.670 --> 00:18:13.269
based support groups. Uh, so you have a safe

00:18:13.269 --> 00:18:16.950
space to discuss how your loved one's gas lighting

00:18:16.950 --> 00:18:19.589
is affecting your mental health. Right. So I

00:18:19.589 --> 00:18:21.930
think that's, uh, that's super important. So

00:18:21.930 --> 00:18:25.109
got any thoughts on any of that? Yeah, it's important

00:18:25.109 --> 00:18:27.930
to note, too, that there are other things that

00:18:27.930 --> 00:18:33.390
can drive someone down this path with one notable

00:18:33.390 --> 00:18:36.690
one being gambling. Yes, for sure. Because it

00:18:36.690 --> 00:18:40.369
is incredibly similar to alcohol and drug use

00:18:40.369 --> 00:18:44.529
in how people get addicted to it, the rush they

00:18:44.529 --> 00:18:48.190
feel, the same type of gaslighting, and avoidance

00:18:48.190 --> 00:18:51.549
in... Taking responsibility or even seeing the

00:18:51.549 --> 00:18:53.950
harm in what they're doing so that's another

00:18:53.950 --> 00:18:56.450
thing to note And then I think the last two points

00:18:56.450 --> 00:19:00.490
you made are of the utmost importance Don't destroy

00:19:00.490 --> 00:19:03.509
your own mental health Trying trying to help

00:19:03.509 --> 00:19:08.390
someone that's that that cannot ever be The right

00:19:08.390 --> 00:19:10.430
thing to do is now you have two damaged individuals

00:19:10.430 --> 00:19:14.569
right right right? Yeah, very very tough, but

00:19:14.569 --> 00:19:17.109
it's it's important just to be aware of your

00:19:17.109 --> 00:19:20.799
own mental state And setting boundaries and expectations,

00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:23.980
like you mentioned, is of utmost importance.

00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:34.740
You have to. It's really important that when

00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:38.059
it's happening, a lot of times there's a certain

00:19:38.059 --> 00:19:41.140
amount of maybe denial where you don't see it.

00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.440
I know some people that I know, they have a type.

00:19:45.660 --> 00:19:48.900
Okay, so, and this is more interpersonal relationships,

00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.200
but they have a type of person they're attracted

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:55.140
to. And sometimes those types of people have

00:19:55.140 --> 00:20:02.380
those personalities or have the addictive personalities

00:20:02.380 --> 00:20:05.740
as it pertains to... Drinking or drug use or

00:20:05.740 --> 00:20:08.079
gambling as you mentioned, that's a good one

00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:10.960
Where you know, they're addicted to that type

00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:13.480
of person and then if they've had enough of that

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:14.940
person They move on to the next one and that

00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:16.799
next one is kind of the same way and the next

00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:20.019
one's kind of the same way And it's it's hard

00:20:20.019 --> 00:20:24.519
to break that But at some point once again when

00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:27.259
it comes to your own personal mental health you

00:20:27.259 --> 00:20:31.160
have to do it you have to do it. Yeah, and you

00:20:31.789 --> 00:20:35.490
It might even be a good idea for people in that

00:20:35.490 --> 00:20:41.170
realm to seek support in that, okay, why am I

00:20:41.170 --> 00:20:45.509
always being attracted to people like this? And

00:20:45.509 --> 00:20:48.130
because there may be things, maybe deep down,

00:20:48.210 --> 00:20:50.170
maybe from childhood, who knows, because you

00:20:50.170 --> 00:20:51.890
have to kind of drill. You have to drill deep

00:20:51.890 --> 00:20:55.450
sometimes. And you have to figure out. Why am

00:20:55.450 --> 00:20:58.650
I doing this? Why is this repetitive for me?

00:20:59.029 --> 00:21:00.809
And then just kind of go through that journey

00:21:00.809 --> 00:21:04.349
and have a therapist help you go down that path

00:21:04.349 --> 00:21:06.849
to, you know, you're maybe attracted to these

00:21:06.849 --> 00:21:08.609
types of people because of this, this and this

00:21:08.609 --> 00:21:10.670
from what you've told me, so on and so forth.

00:21:11.130 --> 00:21:12.970
Here are some things that might be helpful for

00:21:12.970 --> 00:21:16.130
you. Right. You know, maybe this is why you're

00:21:16.130 --> 00:21:19.420
attracted to people like that. So I think that's

00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:22.319
a super important journey as well. Right. And

00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.059
there's reasons why mental health professionals

00:21:25.059 --> 00:21:28.420
and therapists go to school for 8 to 10 to 12

00:21:28.420 --> 00:21:30.740
years to learn about all this stuff. Right. It's

00:21:30.740 --> 00:21:31.960
because they know what they're doing and they're

00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:35.400
good at it. And we're, I would say, healthily

00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:40.339
past the point of stigmatizing mental health

00:21:40.339 --> 00:21:44.920
prioritization. Yeah. And just get out and do

00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:47.279
it. Even if you've... Feel fine, feel normal.

00:21:47.619 --> 00:21:50.980
If you're privileged enough to have access to

00:21:50.980 --> 00:21:55.400
mental health care, go anyway. Go anyway. I mean,

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.200
there could be shit deep down that you didn't

00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:02.940
even know was bothering you. And it could relieve

00:22:02.940 --> 00:22:07.119
you of stresses or anxieties, and especially

00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:09.380
related to the topic we're speaking on now, if

00:22:09.380 --> 00:22:13.440
you're dealing with someone who's dealing with

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:17.359
these types of disorders. It's it's better not

00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:21.680
to do it alone correct if possible yeah, there's

00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:24.640
no doubt about that and and there's also an important

00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:28.700
point too if you're the friend Okay, if you're

00:22:28.700 --> 00:22:31.180
the friend and you're witnessing this and it's

00:22:31.180 --> 00:22:32.900
whether you're the friend of the person that

00:22:32.900 --> 00:22:36.700
has The addiction or whether even more importantly

00:22:36.700 --> 00:22:40.160
the friend of the person on the other side of

00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:46.160
that Do your job. Be that friend, even to the

00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:49.200
point where they might be like, oh, they're not

00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:52.000
going to listen to me, or I'm scared of ruining

00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:54.500
our friendship. Well, you're not a good friend

00:22:54.500 --> 00:22:56.119
if you're worried about losing the friendship

00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:57.779
because you're going to be telling them the truth

00:22:57.779 --> 00:23:00.180
about things you're observing, or because you're

00:23:00.180 --> 00:23:02.539
going to be like, hey, I'm seeing this. I want

00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:05.029
you to know I'm here for you. you know friends

00:23:05.029 --> 00:23:07.849
do have a certain responsibility to letting them

00:23:07.849 --> 00:23:09.869
know to those people that they care for them

00:23:09.869 --> 00:23:12.230
but that they're also there and that they'll

00:23:12.230 --> 00:23:15.809
listen like that's a super important thing right

00:23:15.809 --> 00:23:19.529
to realize that in that journey of of healing

00:23:20.080 --> 00:23:22.019
Yeah, you know, getting a therapist, those sorts

00:23:22.019 --> 00:23:24.339
of things are important steps or, you know, that

00:23:24.339 --> 00:23:26.440
other person doing like Alcoholics Anonymous

00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:28.839
or, you know, for drugs or gambling or anything

00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:30.799
like all of that is part of that journey, too.

00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.079
But as a friend, you do have some responsibility

00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:35.779
in that, even if it costs you the friendship

00:23:35.779 --> 00:23:37.799
or anything like that, because at the end of

00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:40.640
the day, you can be like, you know, I think I

00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:43.019
did the right thing. Right. I did the right thing

00:23:43.019 --> 00:23:45.740
and I did it because I care. Yeah. Yeah, it's

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:48.880
hard to make choices like that. It's much easier

00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:53.599
to simply be a bystander and maybe look the other

00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:58.019
way instead of confrontation, which is always

00:23:58.019 --> 00:24:01.660
quite terrifying. But yeah, a good friend will

00:24:01.660 --> 00:24:04.859
tell you the truth, even if it's painful, even

00:24:04.859 --> 00:24:07.039
if you need to hear it, you know? Sure. And if

00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:09.380
they get combative or, oh, no, you're wrong or

00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:11.559
whatever, it's a lot of what we just said, right?

00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:14.079
Right. And if they come at you that way... You

00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:16.039
have to remember the don't get in the argument

00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:19.019
part and just let them let them tucker themselves

00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:21.700
out. Yeah, let them fire away or whatever and

00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:24.660
just don't get mad and just let them do that.

00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:28.039
And whatever point is best, just be like, OK,

00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:30.480
well, thank you for voicing your concerns and

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:32.279
blah, blah, blah. Or thank you for making your

00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:34.319
points. Right. And then just leave it and walk

00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.740
away. Yeah. You know, because that's you're there

00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:40.259
for them and you want them to seek help and you

00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:41.900
want them to be better. You want the person with

00:24:41.900 --> 00:24:45.750
the addiction to be better. But more importantly,

00:24:47.670 --> 00:24:51.609
the friend part. Or not just necessarily friends.

00:24:51.670 --> 00:24:53.490
You could be a sibling. You could be a cousin.

00:24:53.549 --> 00:24:56.289
You could be anything. Right. Just realizing

00:24:56.289 --> 00:25:00.130
that if you truly care for them, you have a part.

00:25:00.670 --> 00:25:03.869
You have a part. Take your role. And if it doesn't

00:25:03.869 --> 00:25:06.089
work, it doesn't work. But you did your part.

00:25:06.089 --> 00:25:08.369
Right. And that's what you need to know. Yeah.

00:25:09.549 --> 00:25:13.339
All righty. Well. That was probably kind of deep

00:25:13.339 --> 00:25:15.920
for a lot of you. Right, kicking off the new

00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:21.240
year with a little bit of advice and deep conval.

00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:26.660
Right, exactly. But I think it's important. See,

00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.259
in like 10 minutes we're going to be goofing

00:25:30.259 --> 00:25:33.019
and gaffing and laughing and all that and take

00:25:33.019 --> 00:25:34.720
you on an emotional rollercoaster today. You're

00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:39.819
welcome. But I think it's important. And we started

00:25:39.819 --> 00:25:42.119
out this show. where we were kind of heavily

00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:45.380
political. But in the United States, they give

00:25:45.380 --> 00:25:48.039
you content every, not even every week, every

00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:50.359
day, it's something new. Where you're like, oh

00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:52.599
man, we can break bad on this. We can definitely

00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.480
make some fun of this. More in the John Stewart

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:59.200
or Trevor Noah kind of way. We're just not gonna

00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:01.559
sit down here and be like, rawr, even though

00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:05.269
we can. But we swore it was like, oh man, we

00:26:05.269 --> 00:26:06.769
don't want to be a political podcast. We don't

00:26:06.769 --> 00:26:08.109
want to do any of that. And sure shit, we're

00:26:08.109 --> 00:26:10.349
like 10 episodes in. I'm like, man, all we do

00:26:10.349 --> 00:26:12.950
is bitch about that orangutan in the fucking

00:26:12.950 --> 00:26:14.450
White House. I'm like, we need to do something

00:26:14.450 --> 00:26:17.890
different. And so I think we've been doing that

00:26:17.890 --> 00:26:20.410
recently. We've been doing things a little bit

00:26:20.410 --> 00:26:22.130
more lighthearted, sometimes a little deep like

00:26:22.130 --> 00:26:26.029
this. But I think it's important. Yeah. You can

00:26:26.029 --> 00:26:28.809
do both. And we do. We're versatile. Yes. We're

00:26:28.809 --> 00:26:32.630
incredibly versatile. At any rate, we're going

00:26:32.630 --> 00:26:34.809
to take a break. We come back. We have a little

00:26:34.809 --> 00:26:43.950
Carpe Diem for you. All right, we are back from

00:26:43.950 --> 00:26:45.750
our break, everybody, and it's time for a little

00:26:45.750 --> 00:26:50.390
Carpe Diem. That is you, fine, beautiful folks,

00:26:50.650 --> 00:26:54.069
sending us your DMs. And then, of course, we

00:26:54.069 --> 00:26:57.430
read them on the air. If there are any form of

00:26:57.430 --> 00:27:02.890
a question, we might answer them. We could. We

00:27:02.890 --> 00:27:05.390
could. We are very capable of doing such things.

00:27:05.890 --> 00:27:07.710
Season five, you'd hope we are. You would think

00:27:07.710 --> 00:27:11.009
we'd be good at this by now. You know, but sometimes

00:27:11.009 --> 00:27:15.250
it takes a little bit. It takes a greasing of

00:27:15.250 --> 00:27:19.569
the wheels, perhaps. Sure. Like, perhaps having

00:27:19.569 --> 00:27:22.710
a certain rectangular green piece of paper in

00:27:22.710 --> 00:27:25.309
my hand might make me go, oh my god. It's even

00:27:25.309 --> 00:27:27.150
better if it's got a little blue strip on it.

00:27:27.190 --> 00:27:30.109
If it has blue strip, that's great. Wow. And,

00:27:30.130 --> 00:27:34.029
you know, we might say, wow, what a great question.

00:27:34.390 --> 00:27:37.289
I think we need to answer that. Yeah. Now that...

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:39.579
the aforementioned wheels have been greased now

00:27:39.579 --> 00:27:42.319
that they've been greased we're ready to go we're

00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:45.859
ready to go we are ready to go for sure or we

00:27:45.859 --> 00:27:49.440
could be lying um at any rate carpe diem so here

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:53.039
we go uh my first one is from at gibby gibson

00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:57.700
fan club Hi, Mark Mo Show. I am the world's biggest

00:27:57.700 --> 00:28:00.660
iCarly fan and I am certain you guys are too.

00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:03.859
Who is your favorite character? Mine is Gibby

00:28:03.859 --> 00:28:07.299
in case you couldn't tell. You know, fair point.

00:28:07.700 --> 00:28:11.940
Yep. Gibby's kind of a G. He's a G and he's...

00:28:11.950 --> 00:28:14.990
He's maybe my top two or three for sure. Yeah,

00:28:15.250 --> 00:28:17.930
but I gotta go Sam Puckett. I think yeah, she

00:28:17.930 --> 00:28:21.269
made the show Sam was fricking hilarious. I love

00:28:21.269 --> 00:28:24.869
Spencer That dude's funny Spencer's funny as

00:28:24.869 --> 00:28:27.329
hell like I look at Spencer and I'd be like,

00:28:27.329 --> 00:28:29.509
oh, I definitely want to go Oh, yeah, dude. That

00:28:29.509 --> 00:28:32.329
is a fun night right there Spencer and then the

00:28:32.329 --> 00:28:34.210
one dude that's got the tacos on the stick all

00:28:34.210 --> 00:28:37.410
the time Oh forget his name, right? What is his

00:28:37.410 --> 00:28:39.650
name? Yeah, I can't think of it live research

00:28:39.650 --> 00:28:41.859
live research. I love it. But yeah Like I pick

00:28:41.859 --> 00:28:44.059
Sam Puckett because you look at her and be like

00:28:44.059 --> 00:28:46.799
she's gonna get older and be the most awesome

00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:49.319
girlfriend to some dude I mean she just has that

00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:52.940
attitude and She will she she can take it. She

00:28:52.940 --> 00:28:55.940
will give it. I mean, it's hilarious And she

00:28:55.940 --> 00:28:58.099
has a great sense of humor. Yes, so she's just

00:28:58.099 --> 00:29:01.279
a great character and I think keeps Carly on

00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:03.900
her toes Yeah, which I think is important. Yep.

00:29:04.380 --> 00:29:06.920
I guess no one's favorite character would be

00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:10.980
Freddie Oh, God. That little simp. Yeah, a least

00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:13.500
favorite, for sure. Although, towards the end,

00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:16.319
I think the final couple seasons of iCarly before

00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:19.559
they rebooted it, there was character progression.

00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:22.599
You know, there was character growth in all of

00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:27.599
them. Tebow, by the way. is a taco stick guy.

00:29:28.099 --> 00:29:32.339
Our boy Teebo. Teebo, that's hilarious. But no,

00:29:32.500 --> 00:29:35.119
even as an adult, because I was growing when

00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:37.900
you guys were watching it, as an adult, there

00:29:37.900 --> 00:29:41.019
are certain... Shows aimed to kids that that

00:29:41.019 --> 00:29:43.519
adults can watch to and be amused or like it

00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:45.579
that was like one of them for yeah Like I like

00:29:45.579 --> 00:29:48.539
that show. I thought it was good But anyway,

00:29:48.539 --> 00:29:51.559
yeah, I go Sam Puckett, but they get big Gibby's

00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:53.900
up there man Gibby's up there. He's the he's

00:29:53.900 --> 00:29:55.839

my friends. What's your take on things? in Iran,

00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:12.220
Venezuela, and Ukraine. Some of us here are pretty

00:30:12.220 --> 00:30:16.420
worried World War III is coming. Yeah, well,

00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:19.359
think about how much money Lockheed, Harton,

00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:23.039
and Boeing could make off of millions of deaths.

00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:27.700
Oh sure, why not? I think private Anthony Rodriguez,

00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:30.099
maybe you're just not thinking about the shareholder

00:30:30.099 --> 00:30:34.200
value of war, you know? Right. Why are we so

00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:36.420
afraid of World War III? We're gonna make billionaires

00:30:36.420 --> 00:30:41.460
a lot richer. going to war absolutely and and

00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:43.799
you also have to think with all the things going

00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:48.519
on right now from the epstein stuff mind you

00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:54.160
epstein was a member of the idf was a member

00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:59.200
of israeli intelligence is that the massage Whatever

00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:02.299
that is. Yeah, he was a member of that. So whether

00:31:02.299 --> 00:31:06.099
he was a spy in here or what he was doing But

00:31:06.099 --> 00:31:08.119
that thing's global dude, right? So first of

00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:10.220
all that thing's global. It's gonna take down

00:31:10.220 --> 00:31:13.680
a lot of people if They are actually allowed

00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:16.920
to Look at everything and everything is released

00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:18.819
which I still haven't done which is a violation

00:31:18.819 --> 00:31:21.000
of the law who gives a shit Nobody pays a crime

00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:23.359
is legal. Yeah crime is legal in Washington right

00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:29.980
now and Also with the the Jack Smith stuff which

00:31:29.980 --> 00:31:32.740
is coming out which you know Trump sold secrets

00:31:32.740 --> 00:31:37.160
to Russia Wow Like we didn't know that like no

00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:40.180
shit, right? Like we didn't know that the guys

00:31:40.180 --> 00:31:42.380
are grifter, right? But all this shit's going

00:31:42.380 --> 00:31:44.759
on people can be taken down easily if people

00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:48.559
in Washington would love to do their jobs And

00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.440
so what better way? Wow, we need something to

00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:55.490
divert everyone's attention Fuck it. We'll just

00:31:55.490 --> 00:31:57.869
blow up this country in South America and take

00:31:57.869 --> 00:32:00.009
their leader. Whether the leader there is an

00:32:00.009 --> 00:32:03.670
asshole or not is irrelevant. You just don't

00:32:03.670 --> 00:32:06.250
do what you just did. Right. There is no declaration

00:32:06.250 --> 00:32:08.829
of war by Congress that I recall hearing. Nope.

00:32:08.950 --> 00:32:11.170
Which then would make that an illegal act, I

00:32:11.170 --> 00:32:13.809
believe. Well, they bombed an African country

00:32:13.809 --> 00:32:16.309
recently, too. They're like, oh, yeah, they're

00:32:16.309 --> 00:32:18.690
doing crimes against Christians. It's like, what?

00:32:19.390 --> 00:32:21.450
What are you talking about? What are we doing?

00:32:21.549 --> 00:32:26.150
What is going on right now? So, yeah. My conspiracy

00:32:26.150 --> 00:32:28.509
theory side, not that it comes out very often,

00:32:29.269 --> 00:32:31.490
but there's a part of me that's wondering if

00:32:31.490 --> 00:32:36.190
there's a World War III or even just some regional

00:32:36.190 --> 00:32:40.430
war that our dogshit government starts, if they're

00:32:40.430 --> 00:32:45.190
going to use some type of wartime law that will

00:32:45.190 --> 00:32:48.549
allow them to bypass the midterms to remain in

00:32:48.549 --> 00:32:50.960
power. That's my worry. That's what they're going

00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:54.180
to do. It's going to be this fucking declaration

00:32:54.180 --> 00:32:58.759
of emergency or some shit. And Congress will

00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.440
be invalid and won't matter because they don't

00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:06.039
do shit anyway. And it's just going to be a dictatorship,

00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:07.799
which is, I think, what they've been trying to

00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:11.180
do. Right. Right. That's just kind of where we're

00:33:11.180 --> 00:33:15.059
at, Anthony. If you are an actual private and

00:33:15.059 --> 00:33:17.339
you're in the military, I'm sorry shit's gonna

00:33:17.339 --> 00:33:20.880
get really shitty for you guys real soon But

00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:24.759
hey, just always remember if you are in the military

00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:27.819
and you get an order and you go Wow, that order

00:33:27.819 --> 00:33:31.880
is fucked Don't do it. Don't do it. That's your

00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:34.559
right. That is your right. Don't do it If you

00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.299
are a general sitting there on your little throne

00:33:37.299 --> 00:33:39.400
there in the Pentagon or whatever, and you get

00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:41.480
some order from the White House, hey, I want

00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:44.839
that done. And you go, wow, that's kind of fucked.

00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:48.960
Don't do it. Don't put your servicemen in that

00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:53.839
fucking position. It's so stupid. But anyway,

00:33:53.940 --> 00:33:57.740
hey, happy new year. So the next one is from

00:33:57.740 --> 00:34:02.319
at, and this is a callback to an old sports show

00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:05.660
we used to have. Jimmy bag of donuts. Oh, wow.

00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:07.380
Been a while since I've heard that name. Been

00:34:07.380 --> 00:34:12.579
a while. Jimmy. Hey there, guys. I miss your

00:34:12.579 --> 00:34:15.320
sports show. And I'm actually reading it like

00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:17.940
him. Yeah. He's definitely a Chicago guy. Thick

00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:21.940
on that south side. Hey there, guys. I miss your

00:34:21.940 --> 00:34:24.639
sports show. Do you think the Bears have a chance

00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:27.539
to get that a Super Bowl? I think they're only

00:34:27.539 --> 00:34:31.960
missing a mini Ditka. You might be right. You

00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:36.039
might be right, Joey. Insane showing between

00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:38.460
them and the 49ers would have been nice to get

00:34:38.460 --> 00:34:42.480
the dub, but... But it's about as good as you

00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:45.559
can feel with a loss. Yes. Because you're sitting

00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:48.059
there with an elite team, and you're like, wow,

00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:50.539
we absolutely had every chance to win that game.

00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:52.800
Yeah. Yeah, if they can just tighten those screws

00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.800
up and win those types of games, I would say

00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:59.010
yes. I think this year might not be the end all

00:34:59.010 --> 00:35:03.289
be all. That might be the Super Bowl championship

00:35:03.289 --> 00:35:06.769
year, but it's very important that as sports

00:35:06.769 --> 00:35:09.710
fans, we have patience and we take a good year

00:35:09.710 --> 00:35:13.690
as a good year. Right. And we're taking a step,

00:35:14.449 --> 00:35:16.329
a step in the right direction. We take these

00:35:16.329 --> 00:35:19.449
dubs. You take them, you know, and if you get

00:35:19.449 --> 00:35:21.429
to the playoffs and you actually win a playoff

00:35:21.429 --> 00:35:24.289
game. your season was a success. Right. Because

00:35:24.289 --> 00:35:25.909
most people thought we wouldn't even be here

00:35:25.909 --> 00:35:27.610
right now. I think a lot of people are like,

00:35:27.809 --> 00:35:30.409
hey, seven or eight wins is the right direction,

00:35:30.409 --> 00:35:32.690
you know, and here we are. Well, we're good.

00:35:32.789 --> 00:35:34.829
They're going to be potentially 12 and five.

00:35:34.909 --> 00:35:37.750
Right. First winning season in almost a decade.

00:35:38.429 --> 00:35:42.050
Yeah. So that's that's. First playoff game in

00:35:42.050 --> 00:35:45.670
almost a decade. Right. You know, and if more

00:35:45.670 --> 00:35:48.230
than likely they're going to face Green Bay in

00:35:48.230 --> 00:35:50.090
the first round of the playoffs and if they beat

00:35:50.090 --> 00:35:53.260
them. Caleb Williams is three and one against

00:35:53.260 --> 00:35:55.440
Green Bay. That is also a dub. That's what we

00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:58.360
love to see. Guys, you know, this is a step.

00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:00.460
It's a step in the right direction. Obviously,

00:36:00.460 --> 00:36:02.280
you'd love to win the Super Bowl. But if you

00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:04.780
come up short, which they could, because Frisco,

00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:07.000
I mean, all the good teams are NFC, man. Right.

00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:09.780
Not to take anything away from Denver, New England.

00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:14.099
They're really good. But San Francisco, Seattle,

00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:18.769
Philly, they're all really good. Right. They're

00:36:18.769 --> 00:36:23.369
all really good teams. So, you know, if the Bears

00:36:23.369 --> 00:36:26.550
run that table, I'm going to say this. Bears

00:36:26.550 --> 00:36:28.969
fans, it's OK. It's OK to be excited. It's OK

00:36:28.969 --> 00:36:31.750
to be over the moon. Let people give you shit.

00:36:32.630 --> 00:36:36.070
You know, Green Bay's not all that. For as many

00:36:36.070 --> 00:36:37.909
division championships as they've had and as

00:36:37.909 --> 00:36:39.929
many wins as they've had in the last 20 years,

00:36:40.230 --> 00:36:43.070
they still only won two Super Bowls. Right. That's

00:36:43.070 --> 00:36:47.130
all. So so don't worry, because the Bears are

00:36:47.130 --> 00:36:49.309
good. They're young. If they come out of this

00:36:49.309 --> 00:36:52.949
with a Super Bowl dub, oh man, world's your oyster

00:36:52.949 --> 00:36:55.010
the next five or six years. Are you kidding me?

00:36:55.010 --> 00:36:58.010
Right. It all goes through you now. Yeah. And

00:36:58.010 --> 00:36:59.809
that's exciting shit. That is. So get pumped

00:36:59.809 --> 00:37:02.630
up. Get pumped up, Jimmy. Come on, James. It's

00:37:02.630 --> 00:37:06.230
fine. We'll see you over there by 67th Street.

00:37:06.250 --> 00:37:08.530
We'll get that cheesy beef with you, my friend.

00:37:10.650 --> 00:37:14.969
Last one here from Stoner Stanley for 20. Momo

00:37:14.969 --> 00:37:20.550
and Alan time. Did a year happen? It's gone and

00:37:20.550 --> 00:37:25.329
I was not done. What to do? Where is the time

00:37:25.329 --> 00:37:29.889
when I need time to do things? That is the statement

00:37:29.889 --> 00:37:32.710
of the year right there. I was just thinking.

00:37:33.750 --> 00:37:36.329
Thank God bless you for that, sir. Oh, no doubt.

00:37:37.050 --> 00:37:38.949
And in whatever product it was that you used

00:37:38.949 --> 00:37:42.829
to do that thinking. Yeah, right. Yeah, that

00:37:42.829 --> 00:37:47.190
OG Kush really makes the passage of time feel

00:37:47.190 --> 00:37:51.869
a little strange. I've been told. Indeed. Yes.

00:37:52.789 --> 00:37:56.050
I'm just going to say yes. But yeah, we're looking

00:37:56.050 --> 00:38:00.309
out for you. And amen. The passage of time just

00:38:00.309 --> 00:38:04.269
happens. Just enjoy it. Right. Yeah. I mean,

00:38:04.429 --> 00:38:06.289
that's what do they always say? It's a one thing

00:38:06.289 --> 00:38:08.940
you can't get back when it's gone. Right. You

00:38:08.940 --> 00:38:12.800
know, and that's true. Trust me. You blink your

00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:14.559
eyes and you're 21. You blink your eyes, you're

00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:16.159
30. You blink your eyes, you're 40. You blink

00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:18.480
your eyes, now you're more than half your life's

00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:21.019
over, and you're like, holy shit. Right. So all

00:38:21.019 --> 00:38:24.039
I'm telling you, do whatever the fuck you want

00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:27.500
to do, stoner and everybody else. This life's

00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:29.719
too short. There's a whole bunch of shit we can't

00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:32.519
control. A lot of shit's fucked. So you know

00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:35.079
what? I'm going to tell you right now. Go take

00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:36.719
that trip. Get in your car, drive somewhere.

00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:39.420
Have a good time. Tell someone you love them.

00:38:39.579 --> 00:38:43.039
All that good shit. Just do it. Yeah. Just don't

00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:45.820
give a fuck. Because I don't know about you,

00:38:45.820 --> 00:38:48.920
I'm almost out of fucks. Yeah. To give. I'm really

00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:52.199
super close. I'm in the same boat. Yeah, yeah.

00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:58.119
Now we have Aidan's DMs. What do you got, man?

00:38:58.219 --> 00:39:01.780
Got some DMs here. I have one from at Mr. Mouth.

00:39:02.500 --> 00:39:05.320
You lose the ability to say and use a letter

00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:09.920
for $10 ,000 per letter. you take away do you

00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:14.380
take any or no i'm not sure i understand so for

00:39:14.380 --> 00:39:17.900
10 grand yeah per letter you use the ability

00:39:17.900 --> 00:39:22.539
to say like pronounce and say that letter meaning

00:39:22.539 --> 00:39:24.340
like if i didn't want to ever say the letter

00:39:24.340 --> 00:39:27.500
z again i could take z away get 10 grand for

00:39:27.500 --> 00:39:31.400
it but then like the those the stripey animals

00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:35.789
would just be ebras oh i see yeah Could change

00:39:35.789 --> 00:39:37.889
your whole vocabulary. I'm thinking I could get

00:39:37.889 --> 00:39:41.289
rid of the letter Q. You could probably do Q

00:39:41.289 --> 00:39:43.769
Because it's like if somebody's like, hey, let's

00:39:43.769 --> 00:39:45.650
do a quiz. You'd be like, hey, let's do a test

00:39:45.650 --> 00:39:47.510
Yeah, there you go. There's always words for

00:39:47.510 --> 00:39:50.030
another word So you just have to really become

00:39:50.030 --> 00:39:53.329
like Joe thesaurus, right? Right, like I'm not

00:39:53.329 --> 00:39:54.969
I'm not in the queue to get somewhere. I'm in

00:39:54.969 --> 00:39:58.530
the line Right, so Q is a good one Z is a good

00:39:58.530 --> 00:40:02.469
one Q Z Or is that if you're in Canada, we write

00:40:02.469 --> 00:40:04.980
you Canada, right? Couldn't take away any vowels.

00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:07.679
That would be devastating. Vowel would be devastating.

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:13.340
Hilarious. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Devastating. Q and

00:40:13.340 --> 00:40:16.519
Z is 20 grand. And that's pretty nice. That's

00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:18.780
pretty nice right there. Could get rid of the

00:40:18.780 --> 00:40:22.940
letter X. Well, well, well. You wouldn't want

00:40:22.940 --> 00:40:27.320
to be made an example of. Or an apple. You could.

00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:31.730
You could get rid of X and just replace it. So

00:40:31.730 --> 00:40:35.849
be like ck. Hey, baby. Let's have sags Selling

00:40:35.849 --> 00:40:37.690
an idiot, but you'll get what you're trying to

00:40:37.690 --> 00:40:41.670
say And maybe I'll just stick with q &z q &z.

00:40:41.849 --> 00:40:44.210
I'll just take 20 grand. That's fair because

00:40:44.210 --> 00:40:46.030
someday you might want to learn to play the xylophone

00:40:46.030 --> 00:40:49.570
You just never know just kind of a runaround

00:40:49.570 --> 00:40:51.510
because it sounds like a z, but it's an axe.

00:40:51.690 --> 00:40:54.969
It's an axe That's right Crippy grew chicken

00:40:54.969 --> 00:40:57.809
in. Crip, what up dog? You black out for three

00:40:57.809 --> 00:41:00.409
days and find yourself on a beach with blood

00:41:00.409 --> 00:41:04.230
on your hands and a briefcase full of cash. What

00:41:04.230 --> 00:41:06.929
do you do? On a beach, not a deserted island.

00:41:07.050 --> 00:41:11.409
A beach. That's fair. Okay. Hmm. I would probably

00:41:11.409 --> 00:41:14.489
first of all wonder how I blacked out. Yeah.

00:41:14.489 --> 00:41:16.730
And try never to let that happen again. You black

00:41:16.730 --> 00:41:19.389
out for three days, that's... That's something

00:41:19.389 --> 00:41:23.820
else. Like something happened there. Sure, yeah,

00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:28.000
I mean because you've You've you've you've lost

00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:30.639
you've lost three days. You know you wake up,

00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:32.639
and you're like what's happened blood on your

00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:37.579
hands and a briefcase full of cash I Like I guess

00:41:37.579 --> 00:41:40.639
I would try to piece together what may have happened

00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:43.960
But that's also dangerous if I committed a crime

00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:49.019
of some sort right, maybe I just take the cash

00:41:49.019 --> 00:41:52.099
and wash my hands and Well, and it depends how

00:41:52.099 --> 00:41:54.719
much cash. We're talking millions. Very easy

00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:56.619
to just charter a boat to South America and start

00:41:56.619 --> 00:41:58.440
a whole new life. That money is going to go really

00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:02.519
far. Yeah. So that is definitely a possibility.

00:42:03.219 --> 00:42:05.179
That's what I'm thinking I'm doing. I'm chartering

00:42:05.179 --> 00:42:07.920
a boat. See you later. Yeah. I like that idea.

00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:10.750
Yep. Yep, because you can charter that boat.

00:42:11.110 --> 00:42:12.670
Oh, yeah, what's your name? You hand the couple

00:42:12.670 --> 00:42:15.389
of guy a couple couple saw bucks Yeah, be like

00:42:15.389 --> 00:42:19.449
my name is Franklin Franklin it is where we go.

00:42:19.449 --> 00:42:22.829
It is. Yeah. Oh, yeah Yeah, I like that. Just

00:42:22.829 --> 00:42:25.269
get the hell out of there. Yeah, clearly. I wasn't

00:42:25.269 --> 00:42:29.269
conscious It have I committed this crime sure

00:42:29.269 --> 00:42:32.269
so I shouldn't feel guilty about it. I Agree.

00:42:32.449 --> 00:42:34.550
Yeah, I'm totally down with that. Yeah, I wasn't

00:42:34.550 --> 00:42:38.190
there for it Final DM I received here, Hugo69.

00:42:38.690 --> 00:42:41.489
Hugo, what up, dude? In a world of autocorrect,

00:42:41.849 --> 00:42:44.349
what words do you still have trouble spelling?

00:42:48.550 --> 00:42:51.670
Wow, that's a good question. I've always had

00:42:51.670 --> 00:42:54.429
trouble, and I like to think of myself as someone

00:42:54.429 --> 00:42:58.969
that knows how to spell decently. Yeah, but I

00:42:58.969 --> 00:43:01.369
have always had trouble with those words that

00:43:01.369 --> 00:43:04.550
have like consecutive C's and S's in different

00:43:04.550 --> 00:43:08.329
places like the word conscience Has always been

00:43:08.329 --> 00:43:10.610
tough for me. Yeah, like I don't know which one

00:43:10.610 --> 00:43:13.409
which letter goes next Half the time autocorrect

00:43:13.409 --> 00:43:15.869
doesn't even help me out. Yeah conscience is

00:43:15.869 --> 00:43:18.710
a tough one when I was a teenager I'd trouble

00:43:18.710 --> 00:43:21.389
spelling definitely. I would always exit. Yes,

00:43:21.469 --> 00:43:24.110
so I agree with that one defiantly and I'm like,

00:43:24.130 --> 00:43:27.760
that's not the right word I'm looking for So

00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:30.679
those two definitely got me. Anything cross your

00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:34.139
mind? Boy, oh boy. Definitely is definitely one.

00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:42.099
Yeah. Oh, boy. I know there are a couple. And

00:43:42.099 --> 00:43:45.280
I can't think of them off the top of my head.

00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:47.780
I had trouble spelling Australia for the longest

00:43:47.780 --> 00:43:51.679
time. Really? Yeah. Like the last few letters,

00:43:51.900 --> 00:43:58.179
like A -U -S -T -R. okay so i always had trouble

00:43:58.179 --> 00:44:01.920
with that one as well yeah i can't i really can't

00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:06.619
think of any words off the top of my head autocorrect

00:44:06.619 --> 00:44:09.480
does do a good job though maybe that's why it's

00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:11.699
i just don't like when autocorrect correct stuff

00:44:11.699 --> 00:44:15.019
that like you want to say yeah yeah yeah you

00:44:15.019 --> 00:44:17.079
know but then it sits there and it's like oh

00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:21.179
you meant that nope no i didn't honestly i did

00:44:21.179 --> 00:44:23.440
i did not right like it changes a word that's

00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:25.690
actually a word into a different word It's like,

00:44:25.710 --> 00:44:27.530
no, the word that was actually a word that I

00:44:27.530 --> 00:44:29.630
typed is the word I wanted to type. That was

00:44:29.630 --> 00:44:36.130
the one. Yep, exactly. Yeah, that is a man. Yeah,

00:44:36.130 --> 00:44:39.150
I don't know. I can't think of any words off

00:44:39.150 --> 00:44:41.269
the top of my head. I'll just I'll go with definitely

00:44:41.269 --> 00:44:45.329
also. I can't I can't think of can't think of

00:44:45.329 --> 00:44:48.449
anything. Shucks at the time. I cannot. That

00:44:48.449 --> 00:44:52.550
was a tough one. But yeah, anyway, if you got

00:44:52.550 --> 00:44:57.690
a DM. Feel free to send them our way. And once

00:44:57.690 --> 00:45:00.210
again, grease that wheel, baby. Yep. We're now

00:45:00.210 --> 00:45:02.349
on to the other foods. This is a segment where

00:45:02.349 --> 00:45:06.670
Aidan scours the globe. And I mean scours. And

00:45:06.670 --> 00:45:10.889
he looks for foods that, well, they're not really

00:45:10.889 --> 00:45:13.889
great. Right. Actually, they're pretty freaking

00:45:13.889 --> 00:45:17.780
terrible. Foul. Foul. Smelling tasting everything

00:45:17.780 --> 00:45:20.739
and I'm interested to see what you got this week

00:45:20.739 --> 00:45:25.139
this week. I've got a Trio, okay of the same

00:45:25.139 --> 00:45:28.360
genre It's something the 50s. They got a little

00:45:28.360 --> 00:45:32.840
wacky with. Oh, okay mayonnaise People got fucking

00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:34.719
crazy what mayonnaise putting it everywhere.

00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:38.000
It shouldn't go. I See where you're going because

00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:41.239
once you said that I'm like I kind of like mayo.

00:45:41.639 --> 00:45:43.679
Yeah. Yeah, I like it on your average sandwich.

00:45:43.780 --> 00:45:48.480
I like dipping fries in it. That's a cheat code.

00:45:48.579 --> 00:45:51.159
Is that your fry guy pro tip? That's my, yeah,

00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:54.159
I used to do the fry guy. My fry guy pro tip.

00:45:55.460 --> 00:45:58.159
Gravy's good. The Brits do the gravy. The gravy

00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:01.460
is good. Gravy's good. Gravy's good. Ketchup's

00:46:01.460 --> 00:46:04.039
okay. Although, like, I'm over ketchup. Yeah.

00:46:04.380 --> 00:46:06.679
Really, just for everything, I'm just over it.

00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:09.960
So I'm not as much of a ketchup guy. Ranch is

00:46:09.960 --> 00:46:12.400
a pro tip. Ranch is good. Ranch is good for fries.

00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:15.820
But mayo? You might not turn back. I'm just gonna,

00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:18.360
I'm gonna be honest with you. But they did get

00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:20.659
a little crazy with it, as far as recipes go.

00:46:20.659 --> 00:46:22.300
Alright, yeah, let's hear what you got, man.

00:46:22.300 --> 00:46:24.900
From the 40s and 50s, and we start off with one.

00:46:25.539 --> 00:46:27.800
This all comes from a HuffPost article, by the

00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:30.099
way. I'm sure any of you lovely listeners could

00:46:30.099 --> 00:46:32.619
find it and see everything that I didn't, I'm

00:46:32.619 --> 00:46:35.019
not gonna mention here today. The first one here,

00:46:35.579 --> 00:46:39.840
Skippy and Hellman's. A sandwich. Oh. With peanut

00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:44.670
butter and mayonnaise. No, no. Oh God. Dude.

00:46:45.210 --> 00:46:52.150
Oh, man. Yeah, they all combine the peanut butter

00:46:52.150 --> 00:46:57.429
with mayonnaise. There's the double crunch, which

00:46:57.429 --> 00:47:01.429
is peanut butter, bacon, pickles, and mayonnaise.

00:47:01.510 --> 00:47:05.190
Uh -huh. There's the pineapple topper, which

00:47:05.190 --> 00:47:07.889
is peanut butter, mayonnaise, and pineapple.

00:47:08.489 --> 00:47:12.710
And the lunchbox special. Which is just double

00:47:12.710 --> 00:47:14.530
double peanut butter, but why the fuck would

00:47:14.530 --> 00:47:17.590
you put mayonnaise on there? Oh god? Oh, that's

00:47:17.590 --> 00:47:19.590
awful skippy and Hellman's. That's that's your

00:47:19.590 --> 00:47:22.849
first recipe. You could probably avoid yeah the

00:47:22.849 --> 00:47:27.650
Hellman's treasure chest salad Here's what that

00:47:27.650 --> 00:47:33.130
kind of looks like It's a dude. Oh, it's a box

00:47:33.130 --> 00:47:37.889
built out of pineapple Filled with various fruits

00:47:37.889 --> 00:47:42.440
and Hellman's mayonnaise Dude You could have

00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:46.639
just made a fruit salad Put fucking the Hellman's

00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:48.800
mayonnaise on all this if I don't want I'm gonna

00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:54.780
bring up today is the Cranberry surprise oh Which

00:47:54.780 --> 00:47:58.159
is a quote -unquote souffle salad because I guess

00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:01.280
they called everything a salad back then So it's

00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:05.860
a leaf of lettuce okay with a gelatinized cranberry

00:48:05.860 --> 00:48:13.320
and nut and fruit jello mold topped with mayonnaise.

00:48:14.699 --> 00:48:17.760
Because if it wasn't mayonnaise, it was a jello

00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:20.519
mold in the 50s. And sometimes they did both.

00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:27.099
Yeah. And this time they did both. Oh, God. Oh,

00:48:27.500 --> 00:48:30.800
yeah. That's... God. You can just keep mayonnaise

00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:33.699
for sandwiches and fries, maybe. Yeah. Sandwiches,

00:48:33.699 --> 00:48:36.059
fries. You don't need to go overboard and just

00:48:36.059 --> 00:48:38.239
be like... Don't mix it with peanut butter. Right.

00:48:38.300 --> 00:48:40.500
Don't do an episode of Chopped. By the way, I

00:48:40.500 --> 00:48:43.880
would be an amazing contestant because I can

00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:46.539
open the fridge and be like, holy hell, and come

00:48:46.539 --> 00:48:48.420
away with an awesome meal. Right. I have that

00:48:48.420 --> 00:48:52.119
ability. But that doesn't mean the first ingredient

00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:55.599
I'm looking for is mayonnaise. Right. It doesn't

00:48:55.599 --> 00:48:58.960
work that way. Uh -uh. At all. No, that's really

00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:00.679
good though. I appreciate you bringing that to

00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:03.219
the table and I swear to God if I see anyone

00:49:03.219 --> 00:49:05.320
out there eating a peanut butter and mayonnaise

00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:08.659
We're gonna have we're gonna have problem. Yeah,

00:49:08.820 --> 00:49:11.119
I'm not gonna want to go within like ten yards

00:49:11.119 --> 00:49:13.920
of those people I can only imagine how foul that

00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:16.519
breath would smell. Oh, yeah peanut butter and

00:49:16.519 --> 00:49:20.079
mayo mixed Yep, that is that's that was gonna

00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:23.699
be a problem something that was a problem sidebar

00:49:23.699 --> 00:49:28.119
We are watching The Bears 49ers game at Beat

00:49:28.119 --> 00:49:32.800
Ups. There was a table of us. And there was this

00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:35.840
49ers guy behind us at this other table. And

00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:37.480
the first time the 49ers did something real good.

00:49:38.019 --> 00:49:42.460
Yeah, woo! And he's doing all this shit. And

00:49:42.460 --> 00:49:44.260
I'm sitting at the table, and I looked at everybody.

00:49:44.380 --> 00:49:45.659
I'm like, well, that's going to be a problem.

00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:49.579
Yeah. They just knew it. They started laughing.

00:49:49.699 --> 00:49:53.469
I'm like, oh, yeah. He needs to go. Right. And

00:49:53.469 --> 00:49:56.750
I'm happy to take one for the team. Yeah. All

00:49:56.750 --> 00:49:59.389
right, on to our frozen guy review. You know,

00:49:59.550 --> 00:50:02.750
us single bachelor dudes, we do a lot of frozen

00:50:02.750 --> 00:50:04.610
meals just because you can toss them in the freezer,

00:50:04.750 --> 00:50:07.130
forget about them. Weeks later, be like, oh yeah,

00:50:07.230 --> 00:50:09.550
I'm fricking hungry. Yeah, that'll work. And

00:50:09.550 --> 00:50:11.889
just throw that in there. It's easy peasy and

00:50:11.889 --> 00:50:17.010
cheap. And so I tried one. I did a Swedish meatball

00:50:17.010 --> 00:50:21.059
one recently, and it wasn't super. I had some

00:50:21.059 --> 00:50:23.639
issues. Yeah. I think it was Stouffer's. I can't

00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:26.019
remember off the top of my head. But once again,

00:50:26.539 --> 00:50:31.980
in my evaluations, you consider quality with

00:50:31.980 --> 00:50:35.900
quantity and affordability. Right. That's the

00:50:35.900 --> 00:50:39.719
secret sauce to coming up with this. And so I

00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:43.219
tried Marie Callender's Swedish meatballs. Much

00:50:43.219 --> 00:50:46.519
better. Like the And if it was Stouffer's, it

00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:48.099
may not be Stouffer's, but I'm almost sure it

00:50:48.099 --> 00:50:49.780
was Stouffer's, because I get Stouffer's a lot.

00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:53.800
The Stouffer's won little tiny baby testicles,

00:50:53.980 --> 00:50:56.300
man. That's what those little... That's not a

00:50:56.300 --> 00:50:58.880
meatball. You hate to see that. It's not a meatball.

00:50:58.900 --> 00:51:00.739
The Swedes would be offended. Some rabbit had

00:51:00.739 --> 00:51:03.539
a big shit. I mean, that's the size of this fucking

00:51:03.539 --> 00:51:08.099
ball. Right. And taste -wise, it was mediocre.

00:51:08.590 --> 00:51:11.110
This, however, the Murray calendar, was like

00:51:11.110 --> 00:51:14.969
twice the size. It was a human testicle. It was

00:51:14.969 --> 00:51:17.590
a good size ball, you know? When you put those

00:51:17.590 --> 00:51:21.110
balls in your... Ball of meat. This conversation's

00:51:21.110 --> 00:51:23.150
not going the right way. When you put those balls

00:51:23.150 --> 00:51:30.289
in your mouth, it's pretty good. Anyway, they

00:51:30.289 --> 00:51:36.489
were tasty and meaty. The noodles in the gravy,

00:51:36.909 --> 00:51:39.989
once again... Something is just super watered

00:51:39.989 --> 00:51:42.769
down which can happen with the frozen stuff not

00:51:42.769 --> 00:51:44.969
a fan But if there's a little bit of thickness

00:51:44.969 --> 00:51:47.769
to that gravy or sauce on a frozen meal That's

00:51:47.769 --> 00:51:50.070
a plus right so I got that with this like the

00:51:50.070 --> 00:51:53.489
gravy was good the noodles for the time you you

00:51:53.489 --> 00:51:57.070
cook it Perfect done perfectly so this about

00:51:57.070 --> 00:52:01.349
as good of a Swedish meatball Kind of deal that

00:52:01.349 --> 00:52:04.650
you're gonna get in the frozen meal right world

00:52:04.650 --> 00:52:08.519
right so It was it was definitely good I would

00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:10.699
highly recommend it for the price and the quantity.

00:52:11.099 --> 00:52:12.900
I didn't have to have two of them. Yeah. You

00:52:12.900 --> 00:52:14.800
know, one was enough. I was like, oh, okay. You

00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:17.079
know, it's like, I'm not stuffed, but I'm good

00:52:17.079 --> 00:52:20.460
till the next meal. Right. That was great. I

00:52:20.460 --> 00:52:23.659
give it an eight, nine. Nice. Very close. That's

00:52:23.659 --> 00:52:27.400
good. Very close to the elite level. But what

00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:29.280
can I say? I enjoy some Swedish meatballs, man.

00:52:29.300 --> 00:52:31.699
Yeah. Damn right. Some good shit. Eight, nine's

00:52:31.699 --> 00:52:35.300
a pretty damn good score. It is. It is. All right.

00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:38.280
Let's do this. Let's take a break and we're going

00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:41.380
to get started with our feature segment. You

00:52:41.380 --> 00:52:51.530
just made the list. All right, everybody, we

00:52:51.530 --> 00:52:53.369
are back here on the Mark Mo Show. I'm your host,

00:52:53.489 --> 00:52:56.849
Mark Maloney, along with Aidan Maloney. And we're

00:52:56.849 --> 00:53:00.110
now onto you just made the list here on the Mark

00:53:00.110 --> 00:53:03.389
Mo Show. We do this every week. It's our feature

00:53:03.389 --> 00:53:06.210
segment, top 10 list, 10 through two, and our

00:53:06.210 --> 00:53:10.949
big number one reveal. And let's see rules. I

00:53:10.949 --> 00:53:12.889
always got to check that rule book just in case.

00:53:13.289 --> 00:53:16.110
Oh, yep. There's the rule. No rules. Good. Good

00:53:16.110 --> 00:53:18.170
rule. That's good. I like it. I wish the FCC

00:53:18.170 --> 00:53:23.070
would adopt that. Anyway, yeah, so this week,

00:53:23.170 --> 00:53:26.409
I thought it was kind of interesting. This week's

00:53:26.409 --> 00:53:30.710
top 10, top 10 college campuses. That's fun.

00:53:31.090 --> 00:53:35.789
It is fun. Because there are some amazingly wonderful,

00:53:35.869 --> 00:53:39.170
beautiful campuses, some campuses that are just

00:53:39.170 --> 00:53:42.429
incredibly functional, and you can grade it almost

00:53:42.429 --> 00:53:44.449
any way you want to. So I'm interested to hear

00:53:44.449 --> 00:53:47.250
what Aidan has to say. Alrighty, I'll run my

00:53:47.250 --> 00:53:50.719
10 through 2. Start off number 10 here. Purdue

00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:54.380
University. There you go. Very fun campus, very

00:53:54.380 --> 00:53:57.880
neat. Number nine, I've got Duke on there. Duke,

00:53:58.099 --> 00:54:00.320
yep. Haven't been there myself, but I did enough

00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:03.880
research to know what's good. Yeah. Number eight,

00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:07.179
Loyola University of Chicago. Skull Ramblers.

00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:10.340
Number seven, I got Vanderbilt on there. I love

00:54:10.340 --> 00:54:13.079
that. Gotta have Vandy. Number six, I went with

00:54:13.079 --> 00:54:18.019
Yale. Yale. Where the big brain people go. Some

00:54:18.019 --> 00:54:21.019
of the big, great people. Some of them, yeah.

00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:27.300
Now, once again, sidebar. I used to do a lot

00:54:27.300 --> 00:54:31.199
of business with colleges, and I actually had

00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:35.260
an appointment at Yale University, which was

00:54:35.260 --> 00:54:41.039
kind of amazing to be on campus. And when I go

00:54:41.039 --> 00:54:43.099
to these campuses, I have a big thing for either

00:54:43.099 --> 00:54:45.260
hats or hoodies. I want a hat or hoodie from

00:54:45.260 --> 00:54:48.159
where I go. kind of like a, I don't know, just

00:54:48.159 --> 00:54:50.619
a collection or whatever it is, just a like I

00:54:50.619 --> 00:54:52.940
was there kind of thing. And so I'm like, man,

00:54:52.940 --> 00:54:55.820
I really want like a Yale hoodie or like a cool

00:54:55.820 --> 00:54:57.699
looking hat or whatever, which I ended up not

00:54:57.699 --> 00:55:00.420
getting, but there was a reason. So I asked where

00:55:00.420 --> 00:55:02.500
a bookstore was and this guy kind of pointed

00:55:02.500 --> 00:55:05.699
me in the direction. Now, for people in the United

00:55:05.699 --> 00:55:11.659
States, you know that sometimes these big colleges

00:55:11.659 --> 00:55:17.639
are not always located in the best places. You

00:55:17.639 --> 00:55:19.239
have to be kind of careful where you walk or

00:55:19.239 --> 00:55:22.239
where you go. Had no idea. Did not do my homework.

00:55:22.699 --> 00:55:24.579
Right. Literally was walking down the street.

00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:26.699
Seemed pretty normal. Seemed pretty average.

00:55:27.239 --> 00:55:29.280
And I was like, oh, I think I have to go over

00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:31.920
one more block. I turned the corner. It was like

00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:34.079
I was in a completely different city. I was like,

00:55:34.119 --> 00:55:37.940
oh, this looks a little gamey. This looks a little

00:55:37.940 --> 00:55:41.480
interesting. Things have been well used here.

00:55:41.739 --> 00:55:46.190
Like, okay. So I'm walking and I had a suit on,

00:55:46.809 --> 00:55:49.670
and this guy literally darted across the street,

00:55:50.230 --> 00:55:53.010
and this certain individual tried to hold me

00:55:53.010 --> 00:55:58.670
up. He said, give me your wallet. And Maloney's

00:55:58.670 --> 00:56:02.630
have this quick wit ability. It's in our DNA,

00:56:02.909 --> 00:56:06.909
my friends. So I immediately said, I laughed

00:56:06.909 --> 00:56:10.530
at him. I laughed and I said, ha, that's great,

00:56:10.550 --> 00:56:13.190
you're holding up an FBI agent. Let me get that

00:56:13.190 --> 00:56:15.710
wallet for you. And as soon as I reached my pocket,

00:56:15.710 --> 00:56:20.190
Guy ran away. And I just start going, then my

00:56:20.190 --> 00:56:21.710
laughter turned to nervous laughter. I'm like,

00:56:21.789 --> 00:56:24.150
I can't believe that shit worked. I'm gonna go

00:56:24.150 --> 00:56:28.289
back where I came from. And I immediately left

00:56:28.289 --> 00:56:31.769
and did not get that hoodie or hat. But yeah,

00:56:32.369 --> 00:56:34.530
university, there you go. God bless. God bless.

00:56:35.309 --> 00:56:39.519
Number five, USC. Gotta get Southern Cal on there.

00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:43.340
Number four on Washington State University. Go

00:56:43.340 --> 00:56:45.920
Cougs. Go the Cougs are. Everything's uphill

00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:48.820
by the way. Everything's uphill, yeah. Kick you

00:56:48.820 --> 00:56:51.400
into good shape though. Good God. Number three.

00:56:51.579 --> 00:56:56.119
Died. Yeah right. UC Santa Barbara. They just

00:56:56.119 --> 00:56:58.639
put the university right on the ocean. Why not?

00:56:58.780 --> 00:57:02.780
Beautiful. And number two on my list is UCLA.

00:57:03.639 --> 00:57:08.150
Yep. Gorgeous city campus, I've been there. But

00:57:08.150 --> 00:57:10.849
now you know why UCLA has to drive 45 minutes

00:57:10.849 --> 00:57:12.949
to play in the Rose Bowl, because they're city

00:57:12.949 --> 00:57:15.489
-bound and there's just nowhere to put a stadium.

00:57:15.670 --> 00:57:18.469
Yeah, that's true. Which is unfortunate, but

00:57:18.469 --> 00:57:21.230
it is a beautiful campus. Was that number two

00:57:21.230 --> 00:57:23.929
you said? Yep. All right. I'm gonna go with mine.

00:57:24.150 --> 00:57:25.929
No honorable mentions this week, but number 10,

00:57:26.170 --> 00:57:29.490
Indiana University down in Bloomington. Very

00:57:29.490 --> 00:57:32.909
attractive campus. They have this like these

00:57:32.909 --> 00:57:36.010
limestone gate thing where you kind of go in.

00:57:36.150 --> 00:57:38.750
It's really neat and a big road that goes in

00:57:38.750 --> 00:57:42.250
the middle and just very nice. Number nine, San

00:57:42.250 --> 00:57:44.869
Diego State University. A lot of these mission

00:57:44.869 --> 00:57:47.610
style buildings with white stucco facades and

00:57:47.610 --> 00:57:50.909
red tile roofs, which actually blend really well

00:57:50.909 --> 00:57:55.280
with like the city's architecture. And then every

00:57:55.280 --> 00:57:57.300
path has palm trees and flowers. That's cool.

00:57:57.539 --> 00:57:59.980
It's beautiful. We both had the same number 8,

00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:02.380
Loyola University Chicago, right on Lake Michigan.

00:58:03.360 --> 00:58:06.619
Beautiful campus. They do a fantastic job. And

00:58:06.619 --> 00:58:09.230
they got bunnies! There's bunnies all over the

00:58:09.230 --> 00:58:10.710
place and they put bunnies out there. What do

00:58:10.710 --> 00:58:12.949
bunnies do bunnies like to fuck each other? And

00:58:12.949 --> 00:58:14.869
so bunnies made more bunnies. So when you're

00:58:14.869 --> 00:58:17.829
walking around campus It's these well -maintained

00:58:17.829 --> 00:58:19.929
lawns and these these old turn -of -the -century

00:58:19.929 --> 00:58:22.469
buildings and very cool stuff along with some

00:58:22.469 --> 00:58:24.630
modern buildings It's a really kind of an interesting

00:58:24.630 --> 00:58:27.550
blend right on the lake and bunnies Yeah, so

00:58:27.550 --> 00:58:29.590
you gotta gotta love it a little bit of everything

00:58:29.590 --> 00:58:32.250
out there Oh, no doubt number seven Harvard University

00:58:32.250 --> 00:58:36.500
in Cambridge. I was there kind of this combination

00:58:36.500 --> 00:58:39.579
of romanesque and colonial revival federal victorian

00:58:39.579 --> 00:58:42.679
gothic greek revival all these old cool looking

00:58:42.679 --> 00:58:46.659
buildings um and not far from boston which is

00:58:46.659 --> 00:58:49.980
awesome uh number six barry college a small college

00:58:49.980 --> 00:58:53.340
in georgia this quote unquote small college actually

00:58:53.340 --> 00:58:57.599
sits on 27 000 acres and has its own mountain

00:58:57.599 --> 00:59:01.989
wow Check out Berry College. It is very neat

00:59:01.989 --> 00:59:05.650
looking. Number five, Duke University. Beautifully

00:59:05.650 --> 00:59:09.309
landscaped, classic architecture, and they have

00:59:09.309 --> 00:59:12.670
their own forest. Duke Forest. So they got their

00:59:12.670 --> 00:59:15.489
own forest on campus. That's cool. And I must

00:59:15.489 --> 00:59:18.989
have been getting kind of tired when I made my

00:59:18.989 --> 00:59:21.769
notes because I didn't talk about autocorrect.

00:59:22.170 --> 00:59:26.389
I didn't put Duke Forest. It actually says...

00:59:29.080 --> 00:59:40.159
Duck Forced. Duck Forced. Duck Forced. Duke University,

00:59:40.300 --> 00:59:45.090
well known for its Duck Forced. One of those

00:59:45.090 --> 00:59:49.829
bad AI videos. Those shitty synapses of like...

00:59:49.829 --> 00:59:53.230
So bad. Duke University brought to you by ChatGBT.

00:59:53.389 --> 00:59:56.610
ChatGBT. Famous for its duck forest. Duck forest.

00:59:57.769 --> 01:00:01.530
Oh my god, that was punchy. Okay, let's see what

01:00:01.530 --> 01:00:05.070
else I totally wrecked here. Number four, Pepperdine

01:00:05.070 --> 01:00:08.170
University in California. It's set right on a

01:00:08.170 --> 01:00:12.170
cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Buildings

01:00:12.170 --> 01:00:14.349
were designed to complement the ocean side setting

01:00:14.349 --> 01:00:17.570
using a modern interpretation of Mediterranean

01:00:17.570 --> 01:00:20.530
revival style. That's neat. Very, very, very

01:00:20.530 --> 01:00:25.320
beautiful. And then we've got Princeton and New

01:00:25.320 --> 01:00:29.639
Jersey, a combo of gothic and neo -gothic architecture.

01:00:30.199 --> 01:00:32.619
They designed everything to mimic Oxford and

01:00:32.619 --> 01:00:35.199
Cambridge University. That's neat. And they have

01:00:35.199 --> 01:00:39.360
this amazingly beautiful garden called the Class

01:00:39.360 --> 01:00:42.820
of 1936 Garden. Which is also there which is

01:00:42.820 --> 01:00:44.579
also another word that I messed up. I didn't

01:00:44.579 --> 01:00:47.480
put beautiful. I put beautiful Beauty foo. Yeah,

01:00:47.480 --> 01:00:50.219
I forgot the L beauty foo because we don't take

01:00:50.219 --> 01:00:52.380
no else. Damn it. We don't take no else We got

01:00:52.380 --> 01:00:55.199
rid of else. Yeah, that's right in a world with

01:00:55.199 --> 01:00:58.119
no else dollars for it. Yeah. Oh, yeah and number

01:00:58.119 --> 01:01:02.079
two University of Colorado Boulder It's a place

01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:05.119
we both went to the architecture the way all

01:01:05.119 --> 01:01:07.300
of the buildings seem to blend right into each

01:01:07.300 --> 01:01:09.400
other and kind of blend into the mountainside

01:01:10.469 --> 01:01:12.469
Absolutely beautiful. It's gorgeous. Just very

01:01:12.469 --> 01:01:15.469
nice. And kind of a sprawling campus. So there's

01:01:15.469 --> 01:01:17.909
a lot of green and stuff too. So very cool. Yeah.

01:01:18.449 --> 01:01:20.889
Well, U number two was my number one. Colorado

01:01:20.889 --> 01:01:24.670
University. Yeah. Yeah, it's wonderful. Very

01:01:24.670 --> 01:01:26.710
cool. I was not privy to the weather patterns

01:01:26.710 --> 01:01:29.150
of Colorado. You were not. Which made visiting

01:01:29.150 --> 01:01:31.510
the campus a little colder than I was expecting.

01:01:32.449 --> 01:01:35.619
But yeah, it was gorgeous. Yeah. Yeah, Aidan

01:01:35.619 --> 01:01:37.599
basically like, wait a minute, these 60 degree

01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:41.579
days turn into 30 degree nights? Yes, in or near

01:01:41.579 --> 01:01:44.480
the mountains. That is exactly, exactly what

01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:48.159
happened. We went to a football game, and I was

01:01:48.159 --> 01:01:51.380
prepared in terms of my dress. Aidan was not.

01:01:51.400 --> 01:01:54.059
Yeah. Had a very cool leather jacket on, and

01:01:54.059 --> 01:01:57.219
not a lot else. Yeah. Halftime, Aidan shivering,

01:01:57.360 --> 01:01:59.239
so I'm like here, take my glove, take my hat.

01:01:59.519 --> 01:02:02.750
Yeah. Yeah, but it was a great game. It was good.

01:02:02.809 --> 01:02:07.289
Beautiful campus. My number one, Stanford University

01:02:07.289 --> 01:02:14.730
in California. A magazine cited its grand entryway

01:02:14.730 --> 01:02:18.050
as one of the most beautiful things on the campus.

01:02:18.369 --> 01:02:20.730
They have this big memorial church collection

01:02:20.730 --> 01:02:26.530
of over 170 bronze statues on an 8 ,180 acre

01:02:26.530 --> 01:02:31.000
campus. Damn. That's wild. It is wild. So there

01:02:31.000 --> 01:02:34.900
you go. Colorado and Stanford, your reigning

01:02:34.900 --> 01:02:40.300
campus champions, for sure. That takes us to

01:02:40.300 --> 01:02:43.400
down the Reddit rabbit hole. And I'm amazed we

01:02:43.400 --> 01:02:45.900
get Aiden back every once in a while from that

01:02:45.900 --> 01:02:48.460
rabbit hole. Yeah. Because you can get lost.

01:02:48.460 --> 01:02:50.360
You can get lost. Yeah. You can get lost. It's

01:02:50.360 --> 01:02:52.559
like that, what is it in the Marvel universe

01:02:52.559 --> 01:02:55.840
where Ant -Man goes into the whatever it is.

01:02:55.840 --> 01:03:00.980
Oh, yeah. atomic subatomic world whatever that

01:03:00.980 --> 01:03:02.719
world is and then it's like oh you can never

01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:04.679
come back and you continue to get smaller and

01:03:04.679 --> 01:03:08.059
smaller and and uh yeah so that's they even did

01:03:08.059 --> 01:03:11.500
that i'm glad he's back yeah i came back and

01:03:11.500 --> 01:03:13.960
it's like five years had passed and half of everyone

01:03:13.960 --> 01:03:16.559
was dead we're bombing venezuela what the hell's

01:03:16.559 --> 01:03:20.860
going on wow this is nuts uh right a rabbit hole

01:03:20.860 --> 01:03:25.750
i found a neat little article 15 body parts You

01:03:25.750 --> 01:03:29.650
didn't know had names. Ooh. Or didn't know what

01:03:29.650 --> 01:03:32.190
the names of them are. Some of these I am aware

01:03:32.190 --> 01:03:35.269
of, but it could be fun regardless for the lovely

01:03:35.269 --> 01:03:41.050
listeners out there. The philtrum. Okay. Is the

01:03:41.050 --> 01:03:44.710
dip above your upper lip. Oh. Little dip there.

01:03:45.269 --> 01:03:48.010
That has a name. The philtrum. The philtrum.

01:03:48.110 --> 01:03:51.090
Yeah. My goodness, my philtrum is awfully itchy.

01:03:52.670 --> 01:03:55.400
Check, please. Yeah, right. And then there's

01:03:55.400 --> 01:04:01.000
the lunula, which is that little half moon, that

01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:02.940
little lighter half moon. Oh, under your nail.

01:04:03.059 --> 01:04:06.400
On your nail, yeah. Which is kind of fun because

01:04:06.400 --> 01:04:10.599
it sounds similar to lunar, lunula. I just assumed

01:04:10.599 --> 01:04:12.679
that was the glue that holds my nail on. Yeah,

01:04:12.900 --> 01:04:16.800
well, it's got a name. It's got a name. The glabella

01:04:16.800 --> 01:04:20.219
is the space between your eyebrows, unless you're...

01:04:20.139 --> 01:04:22.360
What's his name? Anthony Davidson? And then there's

01:04:22.360 --> 01:04:24.460
no space between your eyebrows? Oh, right. You

01:04:24.460 --> 01:04:26.920
just have a unibrow. Yeah. A really good look

01:04:26.920 --> 01:04:31.579
for him. Oh, it's a solid look. It's unique.

01:04:31.800 --> 01:04:36.119
Good for him. The Hallux? The Hallux. That's

01:04:36.119 --> 01:04:39.360
true. I broke my Hallux once. Yeah. Big toe.

01:04:39.639 --> 01:04:42.440
Yep. That's what I did. Yeah. Broke the Hallux.

01:04:42.500 --> 01:04:45.179
Broke the Hallux. And you hate to see that. Oh,

01:04:45.179 --> 01:04:46.920
you do. Doesn't sound very pleasant. It is not.

01:04:47.880 --> 01:04:53.250
The Pina? What about my penis? The penis is the

01:04:53.250 --> 01:04:56.269
outer shell of your ear. Oh. Yeah, that's your

01:04:56.269 --> 01:04:59.429
penis. Okay. Not to be confused with the weenus,

01:04:59.449 --> 01:05:01.750
which is of course that little bit of your elbow.

01:05:01.949 --> 01:05:04.849
The little bit of your elbow. Yeah. The next

01:05:04.849 --> 01:05:07.090
one I've got here is the canthus. It's where

01:05:07.090 --> 01:05:11.670
your eyelids meet, you know? What? Yeah. That's

01:05:11.670 --> 01:05:13.949
a thing? That's a thing. Wow. And it's got a

01:05:13.949 --> 01:05:18.630
name. The collumella. It's the strip between

01:05:18.630 --> 01:05:22.210
your nostrils. Oh. Right above the philtrum.

01:05:22.349 --> 01:05:27.250
Right above the philtrum. Yeah. Huh. Uh, the

01:05:27.250 --> 01:05:30.730
perlicue is the gap between your thumb and finger.

01:05:31.389 --> 01:05:36.190
Oh. A perlicue. Perlicue. How about that? Very

01:05:36.190 --> 01:05:39.849
funny. A perlicue? Uh, tragus is the tiny flap

01:05:39.849 --> 01:05:42.989
near your ear hole. Oh, that dude. Yeah, yeah,

01:05:42.989 --> 01:05:46.920
yeah. That's a thing. Tragus. Wow. Okay. All

01:05:46.920 --> 01:05:49.039
of these are real. You can look these up. I'm

01:05:49.039 --> 01:05:50.940
not fucking around. Half of them sound like fake

01:05:50.940 --> 01:05:54.559
names, but this is real. Uh, uvula, I'm sure

01:05:54.559 --> 01:05:56.199
we're all familiar with that. Yeah, we know that

01:05:56.199 --> 01:05:59.000
one. Little funny punching bag in the throat.

01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:03.420

for that idea, Hollywood. Run with it. Go for

01:06:49.219 --> 01:06:52.860
it. We'll just take 10%. Sternum is that bone

01:06:52.860 --> 01:06:55.420
in the middle of your chest, of course. It's

01:06:55.420 --> 01:06:57.260
the thing that flippy -flops around whenever

01:06:57.260 --> 01:07:01.239
you get the hiccups. And then the number 15 on

01:07:01.239 --> 01:07:04.920
this list of 15 is the zygoma, which is the actual

01:07:04.920 --> 01:07:07.940
name for your cheekbone. What is it, zygoma?

01:07:08.480 --> 01:07:11.679

01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:28.559
Damn it Yeah I'll have you know. I take the test

01:07:28.559 --> 01:07:34.260
every week giraffe men woman TV I've passed it

01:07:34.260 --> 01:07:36.179
four times in a row. Why are you taking it four

01:07:36.179 --> 01:07:38.550
times? You're racing it homie Don't you think

01:07:38.550 --> 01:07:40.590
a doctor be like that? He's fine. Yeah, he's

01:07:40.590 --> 01:07:43.170
acing this test. We keep making him take it cuz

01:07:43.170 --> 01:07:48.889
we're just bored right Good lord Well Everyone's

01:07:48.889 --> 01:07:52.230
while we sleep we put our heads down and we get

01:07:52.230 --> 01:07:54.889
all snuggie and we sleep snoozing But while we

01:07:54.889 --> 01:07:58.030
were sleeping we missed something like bombing

01:07:58.030 --> 01:08:00.769
Venezuela. Oh, no. Yeah, you know It's just like

01:08:00.769 --> 01:08:02.809
we wake up in the mornings like wait, we we blew

01:08:02.809 --> 01:08:06.719
up what? Why the fuck we do that? But perhaps

01:08:06.719 --> 01:08:10.039
we missed other things. Missed a TV show. Missed

01:08:10.039 --> 01:08:12.800
a YouTuber. Missed a book. Missed a whatever.

01:08:13.579 --> 01:08:15.219
Aidan's gonna find out. He's gonna be like, yo

01:08:15.219 --> 01:08:17.420
guys, you missed this, you better check them

01:08:17.420 --> 01:08:21.359
out. So who did we miss? We missed another YouTuber.

01:08:21.460 --> 01:08:24.420
Ooh, okay. That I think everyone was sleeping

01:08:24.420 --> 01:08:27.520
on and should wake the freak up. Okay. A channel

01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:31.359
called Stuff Made Here. Stuff Made Here. Stuff

01:08:31.359 --> 01:08:34.609
Made Here. And believe it or not. The dude makes

01:08:34.609 --> 01:08:37.369
stuff there. Okay. All right. Yeah, that would

01:08:37.369 --> 01:08:40.430
disappoint otherwise. I don't he's got some kind

01:08:40.430 --> 01:08:44.590
of engineering and technology background. And

01:08:44.590 --> 01:08:46.850
some huge warehouse and garage where he does

01:08:46.850 --> 01:08:49.949
all this crazy stuff. The stuff he makes there,

01:08:50.109 --> 01:08:54.909
of course. Okay. And the videos are just so cool.

01:08:55.210 --> 01:08:59.569
Yeah, for for Even if you're not a huge fan of

01:08:59.569 --> 01:09:02.270
science or if it's not your favorite subject,

01:09:02.369 --> 01:09:04.770
you're not being taught anything necessarily.

01:09:05.010 --> 01:09:08.750
You can learn from it, but it's more so edutainment,

01:09:09.010 --> 01:09:12.149
entertainment kind of deal. Some of his most

01:09:12.149 --> 01:09:16.470
recent videos, he made auto aim for mini golf.

01:09:17.069 --> 01:09:20.329
So he essentially turned the club into this mini

01:09:20.329 --> 01:09:24.050
robot that knows where the hole is, knows which

01:09:24.050 --> 01:09:26.560
angle you're pointing at. While you're swinging

01:09:26.560 --> 01:09:29.420
it'll adjust the clubface for like a hundred

01:09:29.420 --> 01:09:33.840
percent accuracy That's that that's it right?

01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:38.260
Yes, my guy He made this video where he took

01:09:38.260 --> 01:09:41.859
like days and days to machine the perfect brownie

01:09:41.859 --> 01:09:45.640
pan The perfect brownie perfect brownie pan for

01:09:45.640 --> 01:09:48.079
anyone that doesn't like the edges of brownies

01:09:48.079 --> 01:09:50.140
that guy's doing the Lord's work, right? Yeah

01:09:50.140 --> 01:09:53.760
He means the world's smallest yet functional

01:09:53.760 --> 01:09:56.569
bike And it's like, I don't know, it's no more

01:09:56.569 --> 01:10:00.090
than like a foot tall. But he took like 50 hours

01:10:00.090 --> 01:10:03.029
to try and figure out how to ride it. Did he

01:10:03.029 --> 01:10:06.890
do it? Yeah. No way. Yeah, the wheels are like,

01:10:07.149 --> 01:10:11.210
I don't know, no larger than like a can, you

01:10:11.210 --> 01:10:14.810
know. And some of his most popular videos, he

01:10:14.810 --> 01:10:18.270
built this entire wall that has a basketball

01:10:18.270 --> 01:10:21.329
hoop on it and all these pulleys and machines

01:10:21.329 --> 01:10:24.949
and stuff. Right. meaning you can never miss.

01:10:26.010 --> 01:10:28.710
You shoot the basketball anywhere near the wall,

01:10:28.850 --> 01:10:31.069
the hoop will move to get the ball in the net.

01:10:31.770 --> 01:10:33.930
And like change the angle of the backboard so

01:10:33.930 --> 01:10:36.670
no matter the velocity or angle you threw it

01:10:36.670 --> 01:10:40.170
at, it still goes in the hoop. Super fascinating.

01:10:40.489 --> 01:10:43.189
That's awesome. Similar to the mini golf one,

01:10:43.189 --> 01:10:46.350
he made a pool stick that auto -aims for you,

01:10:46.670 --> 01:10:51.390
which is very cool. An auto -aiming bow. So like

01:10:51.390 --> 01:10:53.550
they like the little skeet targets that like

01:10:53.550 --> 01:10:55.649
fly up in the air You made a bow that you just

01:10:55.649 --> 01:10:58.489
pull back. It'll auto aim you release it It'll

01:10:58.489 --> 01:11:01.029
hit the target like it'll plot where the targets

01:11:01.029 --> 01:11:04.329
moving. Mm -hmm How much like how quick the air

01:11:04.329 --> 01:11:08.409
is gonna reach it and it'll like 100 % hit Wow,

01:11:08.569 --> 01:11:13.119
so very very fun and cool videos imagine if Imagine

01:11:13.119 --> 01:11:15.199
if they, you know, he's created that and then

01:11:15.199 --> 01:11:17.619
he creates like 10 ,000 of them and then creates

01:11:17.619 --> 01:11:19.739
a time machine and goes back to the Native Americans

01:11:19.739 --> 01:11:23.199

take a break and we'll move on to the final couple

01:11:42.720 --> 01:11:45.100
of couple of segments we got going on. We're

01:11:45.100 --> 01:11:46.619
going to do our beer review and then of course

01:11:46.619 --> 01:12:04.359
finish up with the world of weird news. All right,

01:12:04.359 --> 01:12:05.979
we are back and we're in the homestretch here

01:12:05.979 --> 01:12:09.859
on the Mark Mo show we are now on to our beer

01:12:09.859 --> 01:12:13.420
review and We have a little something from like

01:12:13.420 --> 01:12:16.000
what neat us damn, right? What do we got man

01:12:16.000 --> 01:12:18.739
during the official beer review? He login eat

01:12:18.739 --> 01:12:21.100
us brewing company makes a return. We have tried

01:12:21.100 --> 01:12:23.140
some of their brews before but not this one in

01:12:23.140 --> 01:12:25.399
particular They are of course out of Petaluma,

01:12:25.399 --> 01:12:30.460
California Has a kiss of Maximus. Whoo. Awesome

01:12:30.460 --> 01:12:33.760
is the name of this one? I think he invaded France.

01:12:34.979 --> 01:12:39.020
God bless him for that. It is an Imperial Hazy

01:12:39.020 --> 01:12:45.000
IPA, 9 % ABV, damn near jet fuel in the beer

01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:51.359
world, 65 % on the IBU scale, so definitely by

01:12:51.359 --> 01:12:54.960
their standard has some bitters to it. As far

01:12:54.960 --> 01:12:57.539
as Lagunitas has anything to say, quote, this

01:12:57.539 --> 01:13:00.939
colossally hazy IPA has big juicy grapefruit

01:13:00.939 --> 01:13:04.460
bursts with hints of orange sherbet and ripe

01:13:04.460 --> 01:13:07.520
stone fruit flavors all balanced by a touch of

01:13:07.520 --> 01:13:11.460
resinous turps from our pals at abstracts. Ooh,

01:13:11.520 --> 01:13:14.640
all balanced as things should be. Perfectly balanced.

01:13:14.859 --> 01:13:16.880
Perfectly balanced. So we'll rate this on a scale

01:13:16.880 --> 01:13:19.760
from zero to five on how much we like it. We're

01:13:19.760 --> 01:13:22.479
drinking it out of a can today. And we'll give

01:13:22.479 --> 01:13:27.630
you some flavor notes. As we do. Ah, that's good

01:13:27.630 --> 01:13:31.550
for you, baby. Oh man, you get the citrus right

01:13:31.550 --> 01:13:33.649
away. That smacks you right in the face. Quite

01:13:33.649 --> 01:13:37.189
aromatic. All right, let's go. Solange. Solange.

01:13:38.810 --> 01:13:44.729
Okay. God, that's wonderful. I like it. Citrusy.

01:13:44.869 --> 01:13:48.569
Doesn't punch the throat. Does not. With any

01:13:48.569 --> 01:13:51.689
hop bitterness. That's probably the haziness

01:13:51.689 --> 01:13:55.609
to it. Right. Yeah, definitely a bit of grapefruit.

01:13:56.050 --> 01:13:57.869
It is good. I kind of get what they're saying

01:13:57.869 --> 01:13:59.949
with sherbert. I get some creaminess in there.

01:14:00.090 --> 01:14:03.470
Yeah, absolutely That's wonderful. Yeah, I don't

01:14:03.470 --> 01:14:05.909
mind it. It is not bad at all. That's really

01:14:05.909 --> 01:14:10.989
nice. Makes me happy. Yeah Smells good Very easy

01:14:10.989 --> 01:14:13.649
on the palate. Yeah Probably something you don't

01:14:13.649 --> 01:14:18.029
want to have like three or four of with how strong

01:14:18.029 --> 01:14:21.069
it is Like it a little tanky. I have three or

01:14:21.069 --> 01:14:26.619
four. Yeah or ten Or 10, 12. But look, see, I

01:14:26.619 --> 01:14:31.800
can handle us and an alcoholist. I can, no matter,

01:14:31.960 --> 01:14:34.920
it's a can or a bottle. I just do it. No, it's

01:14:34.920 --> 01:14:38.659
good. Right you are. Right you are. Yeah, that

01:14:38.659 --> 01:14:42.720
is quite damn good. Yeah, I like it. I think

01:14:42.720 --> 01:14:48.819
on a scale to five, ooh, that's tough. It is

01:14:48.819 --> 01:14:52.380
tough. That's tough. I'm going high. I'm not

01:14:52.380 --> 01:14:55.520
sure. I don't think I'm going to put it in the

01:14:55.520 --> 01:14:57.840
elite tier. I don't think I'm going in the fours,

01:14:57.859 --> 01:15:02.439
but I will go three, seven, five. I was going

01:15:02.439 --> 01:15:05.159
to put it three and a half. Yeah. Now, for me,

01:15:05.180 --> 01:15:08.140
that's a pretty good score for an IPA because

01:15:08.140 --> 01:15:13.340
I'm not an IPA guy, really. Yeah. So as long

01:15:13.340 --> 01:15:17.100
as I don't get that lingering on the tongue after

01:15:17.100 --> 01:15:19.180
you've had the sip, which sometimes you get from

01:15:19.180 --> 01:15:22.090
that IPA, Whether it's that hoppiness or whatever

01:15:22.090 --> 01:15:26.829
it is. Yeah Like I enjoy it You know, it's like

01:15:26.829 --> 01:15:29.810
though the one thing that comes to mind is Malort

01:15:29.810 --> 01:15:31.970
because like Malort is a shot you take and the

01:15:31.970 --> 01:15:35.369
shot itself is fine But then it just your tongue

01:15:35.369 --> 01:15:37.770
feels like you just licked pine soles asshole.

01:15:38.069 --> 01:15:40.550
Yeah For like the next ten minutes and it won't

01:15:40.550 --> 01:15:43.569
go away. Yeah in some IPAs I get that like you

01:15:43.569 --> 01:15:45.409
take that drink and then it just sits there for

01:15:45.409 --> 01:15:49.350
a while Did not get that with this. No Definitely

01:15:49.350 --> 01:15:53.250
got the citrus. And overall, pretty smooth, pretty

01:15:53.250 --> 01:15:55.750
enjoyable. Very smooth. 9 % hot. Yeah. Three

01:15:55.750 --> 01:15:58.310
and a half. Three and a half. Solid for someone

01:15:58.310 --> 01:16:02.109
whose first choice is not IPAs. Correct. Absolutely.

01:16:02.970 --> 01:16:04.590
Let us know in the comments what you're enjoying

01:16:04.590 --> 01:16:07.470
today. For sure. And by the way, flavor profiles

01:16:07.470 --> 01:16:10.170
for this, I did hazy, grapefruity, and citrus.

01:16:10.430 --> 01:16:13.060
Yeah. That's about right. Yeah, that is definitely

01:16:13.060 --> 01:16:15.119
what that is. Yeah, and by all means, like Aidan

01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:18.600
said, if there's certain things you enjoy, maybe

01:16:18.600 --> 01:16:25.140
a beverage we have yet to try, share that with

01:16:25.140 --> 01:16:28.199
us on the socials. Aidan Maloney, Mark Maloney,

01:16:28.340 --> 01:16:32.479
Maloney Media, our shows, of course, you can

01:16:32.479 --> 01:16:37.119
find us. So send us your comments or DMs. If

01:16:37.119 --> 01:16:38.859
there's a beer you want us to try, we're happy

01:16:38.859 --> 01:16:41.649
to do it. Damn right. Yeah, that was definitely

01:16:41.649 --> 01:16:45.949
some good stuff, though. That brings us to the

01:16:45.949 --> 01:16:51.430
finale, which is the World of Weird News. And

01:16:51.430 --> 01:16:54.970
mine is very, mine's very brief, succinct. It

01:16:54.970 --> 01:16:58.270
is, it is, but I think, I think it's fun. And

01:16:58.270 --> 01:17:01.229
it brought back some memories for me. World of

01:17:01.229 --> 01:17:06.869
Weird News from Key West, Florida. In the 1930s,

01:17:06.989 --> 01:17:10.029
a ship captain gifted Ernest Hemingway a six

01:17:10.029 --> 01:17:14.750
-toed kitten named Snow White, sparking a feline

01:17:14.750 --> 01:17:19.010
dynasty. Her polydactyl trait extra toes on the

01:17:19.010 --> 01:17:21.470
front paws were passed down through generations,

01:17:22.050 --> 01:17:25.310
creating a living legacy still present in Hemingway's

01:17:25.310 --> 01:17:29.550
Key West home. Today, roughly 50 cats roam the

01:17:29.550 --> 01:17:31.970
property, because just like bunnies, you know

01:17:31.970 --> 01:17:36.159
cats do. Roughly 50 cats roam the property, many

01:17:36.159 --> 01:17:40.060
carrying the rare six -toed gene. Each is named

01:17:40.060 --> 01:17:43.699
after a famous figure, and they freely explore

01:17:43.699 --> 01:17:46.399
the garden's sunlight corners and rooms where

01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:49.300
American literary history was written. That's

01:17:49.300 --> 01:17:52.939
cool. Polydictal cats, valued by sailors for

01:17:52.939 --> 01:17:56.000
balance and instincts, became closely associated

01:17:56.000 --> 01:17:59.069
with Hemingway. Key West Colony preserves this

01:17:59.069 --> 01:18:02.050
unique mutation and serves as a living reminder

01:18:02.050 --> 01:18:05.130
of literary history and the special bond between

01:18:05.130 --> 01:18:08.369
humans and their pets. That's neat. How about

01:18:08.369 --> 01:18:09.930
that? That's super cool. Did you ever see any

01:18:09.930 --> 01:18:12.550
of those cats when you were down there? Not only

01:18:12.550 --> 01:18:14.670
did I see those cats when I was down there, we

01:18:14.670 --> 01:18:17.510
had one of those cats. Me and my buddy Andy,

01:18:17.550 --> 01:18:20.210
when we lived in Wrigleyville, he had a cat.

01:18:20.930 --> 01:18:25.510
And his cat was named Thumbs. Because he had

01:18:25.510 --> 01:18:29.609
plenty. And he was a mutant. He was a mutant,

01:18:29.609 --> 01:18:32.250
but he was a dog cat. It was a cat that was excited

01:18:32.250 --> 01:18:35.250
when you got home, jumped around, played fetch.

01:18:35.869 --> 01:18:38.930
It was just a dog cat. Those are great. Oh, yeah,

01:18:38.930 --> 01:18:40.970
and we like to do catfishing. Just tie a little

01:18:40.970 --> 01:18:44.189
catnip toy on a string, and he used to hang out

01:18:44.189 --> 01:18:47.350
in the bottom of his bed, which if you left my

01:18:47.350 --> 01:18:50.350
bedroom door open, which I kept two doors, and

01:18:50.350 --> 01:18:52.010
then his bedroom was the next bedroom when you

01:18:52.010 --> 01:18:57.609
leave his door open, you could... you could see

01:18:57.609 --> 01:19:00.149
into the bedroom and see his bed. So what we'd

01:19:00.149 --> 01:19:20.847
do is we would zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

01:19:20.840 --> 01:19:24.920
Bus company's most unusual lost and found items

01:19:24.920 --> 01:19:29.460
include a dino suit. Someone just lost on the

01:19:29.460 --> 01:19:33.920
bus. Someone lost a dino suit. Yep. Story from

01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:38.039
the 2nd of January. A British bus company revealed

01:19:38.039 --> 01:19:40.420

cookies and an inflatable dinosaur costume. The

01:19:48.529 --> 01:19:50.350
Oxford Bus Company said its customer service

01:19:50.350 --> 01:19:53.649
department logged a total of 4 ,387 lost and

01:19:53.649 --> 01:19:57.069
found items in 2025. And just over a thousand

01:19:57.069 --> 01:20:00.010
of those, about 23%, were indeed returned to

01:20:00.010 --> 01:20:02.989
their original owners. The Transit Company said

01:20:02.989 --> 01:20:04.970
the most unusual items to cross the customer

01:20:04.970 --> 01:20:07.550

onions, a whole bicycle tire, a 22 -pound bag

01:20:24.909 --> 01:20:29.029
of rice, several Nerf guns, and a yoga mat covered

01:20:29.029 --> 01:20:35.659
with inspirational quotes. Quote essentials such

01:20:35.659 --> 01:20:38.159
as keys mobile phones umbrellas purses and wallets

01:20:38.159 --> 01:20:40.479
are among the most common items found But there's

01:20:40.479 --> 01:20:44.479
also several unexpected ones too says Andy Morrison

01:20:44.479 --> 01:20:47.279
head of digital and customer experience at the

01:20:47.279 --> 01:20:50.560
Oxford bus company Misplacing a personal item

01:20:50.560 --> 01:20:52.720
can be a stressful experience We use technology

01:20:52.720 --> 01:20:55.279
to help make it easier for people to get their

01:20:55.279 --> 01:20:57.680
belongings back We use the end of the year to

01:20:57.680 --> 01:20:59.380
highlight the unconventional ones and remind

01:20:59.380 --> 01:21:03.939
people that we keep these lost items Morris said

01:21:03.939 --> 01:21:07.180
any items on Oxford buses can be claimed or sent

01:21:07.180 --> 01:21:10.399
to their owners in the mail, encouraging people

01:21:10.399 --> 01:21:13.960
to use their not -lost service to help find things.

01:21:14.460 --> 01:21:18.020
Some of the more bizarre finds in 2024 included

01:21:18.020 --> 01:21:22.859
a suitcase full of retro adult magazines, a jar

01:21:22.859 --> 01:21:27.699
of raw chicken, and in previous years they found

01:21:27.699 --> 01:21:31.899
a bar stool. Someone lost a whole bar stool.

01:21:32.119 --> 01:21:35.939
on the bus, a roll of Donald Trump toilet paper,

01:21:37.140 --> 01:21:43.920
a guitar, skis, and a wet floor sign. Holy shit.

01:21:44.640 --> 01:21:48.220
I don't know how the hell you lose a wet floor

01:21:48.220 --> 01:21:51.840
sign on a bus, but that's pretty awesome. How

01:21:51.840 --> 01:21:54.939
do you lose 22 pounds of rice? 22 pounds of rice?

01:21:55.020 --> 01:21:57.279
That's a big ass bag of rice, man. That's a lot

01:21:57.279 --> 01:22:00.640
of rice. That's like, that's like... Like, restaurant

01:22:00.640 --> 01:22:03.539
-grade bag of rice, man. That's a lot of frickin'

01:22:03.659 --> 01:22:09.119
rice. That's a lot of rice. Holy shit. Wow. Barstool.

01:22:09.319 --> 01:22:12.159
Yeah. The inflatable dinosaur costume got me.

01:22:12.300 --> 01:22:15.840
I was like, that's so fucking funny and unique.

01:22:16.260 --> 01:22:18.460
It really is. How do you lose that on the bus?

01:22:18.960 --> 01:22:21.640
I have no idea. Hey Peter, what's the matter?

01:22:21.800 --> 01:22:28.460
Why you look so sad? I just, I had, I left the

01:22:28.460 --> 01:22:33.439
pub and I had a bar stool. I know I had it. Where,

01:22:39.060 --> 01:22:41.600
be like, yeah, that was my bar stool. I'm coming
