00:00:02.849 --> 00:00:05.769
Hey there, everybody. Welcome to the Mark Mo

00:00:05.769 --> 00:00:08.750
Show podcast. I'm your host, Mark Maloney, and

00:00:08.750 --> 00:00:12.990
this is season five, episode two, rah rah blah.

00:00:13.869 --> 00:00:16.309
You can find us on all podcast platforms and

00:00:16.309 --> 00:00:19.149
YouTube. I'd like to introduce my co -host and

00:00:19.149 --> 00:00:22.600
producer. Aidan Maloney. Aidan, how are you today?

00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:26.820
I am fantastic as of right now today. And that's

00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:29.920
what matters. That is indeed what matters. That

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:34.579
is what matters. A strange week, a really weird

00:00:34.579 --> 00:00:39.200
and disheartening start, I would argue, to 2026.

00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:44.020
But the year is still young and it's the weekend,

00:00:44.060 --> 00:00:47.340
so what do I have to complain about? Right, exactly.

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.759
And, you know, You know, I have to say for myself,

00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.259
like, I've been going through a lot. That you

00:00:56.259 --> 00:01:00.340
have. A lot. The world has tossed upon you a

00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:03.820
lot. It really has. I'd argue. It really has.

00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.579
You know, I'm not much of a religion -y guy.

00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.459
If you want to know the truth, if you feel you

00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:15.719
need it, whatever, I don't. But, if there is

00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.260
some sort of supreme being, I would like for

00:01:19.260 --> 00:01:22.079
that supreme being to stop sitting there going,

00:01:22.540 --> 00:01:24.900
I'm going to keep testing this bugger. It'd be

00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:29.420
great to just be like, let your foot up off the

00:01:29.420 --> 00:01:32.760
gas a little bit. Right. Would be much appreciated.

00:01:34.459 --> 00:01:37.560
God gives his strongest battles to his lowest

00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.840
paid employees. Yeah, oh God, isn't that the

00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.340
truth. I have to say that... You know at least

00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:46.840
have a couple of good things coming this week.

00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.799
I went out with a lot of friends and hung out

00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.980
and You know this weekend looks like it's gonna

00:01:52.980 --> 00:01:55.560
be you know and that's When you have so many

00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:58.420
things that are down in your life You do your

00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:01.260
best to counterbalance that sure and if that

00:02:01.260 --> 00:02:02.980
means just spending time with good people good

00:02:02.980 --> 00:02:06.140
friends Then that's exactly what you do It's

00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:09.319
almost something we brought up on our last Gaming

00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.080
episode we did a handful of quizzes and some

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.939
of them were fairly introspective which I didn't

00:02:14.939 --> 00:02:18.060
Expect so much agreed, but yeah a lot of our

00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:21.020
answers kind of revolved around like Staying

00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:23.319
present. I resolved this year to stay present,

00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:28.360
you know yester years stresses to let them go

00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.620
and Tomorrow's worries. Well, it's not tomorrow.

00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:34.219
It's today. So right. I'm gonna live because

00:02:34.219 --> 00:02:36.919
I'm here today Right, exactly. I mean, you can't

00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:38.979
be like, oh my god, this is next week and next

00:02:38.979 --> 00:02:42.280
month, and oh my god, how about just today? Right.

00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.900
I'm not there yet. I'm not there yet. Yeah. Deal

00:02:44.900 --> 00:02:47.780
with today, and you know the things that are

00:02:47.780 --> 00:02:51.759
in the future, but worrying about that and dwelling

00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.620
on the past are two things you do actually have

00:02:54.620 --> 00:02:57.120
control in. You can just fuck it and stop it,

00:02:57.539 --> 00:03:00.000
and just worry about today. Like today, it was

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.020
like, hey, let's record our podcast today. That

00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:05.580
sounds like a lot of fun. Yes. I think that would

00:03:05.580 --> 00:03:08.539
be great. And then I found out I have an interview.

00:03:08.699 --> 00:03:10.960
So I went to the coffee shop, did a few things

00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.139
on my computer. And so I feel really good about

00:03:14.139 --> 00:03:16.379
that. It would actually be a job where I get

00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:18.699
to use a lot of my communications and writing,

00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:22.240
which would be absolutely unbelievable. The skills.

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:27.379
Right. Stuff I like doing. Yeah. I mean, I'm

00:03:27.379 --> 00:03:29.379
not going to go into it. because that could be

00:03:29.379 --> 00:03:31.939
another, that would be intro part one and then

00:03:31.939 --> 00:03:34.120
intro part two coming out, right? Has nothing

00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:38.919
to do with rah, rah, or blah. But, that being

00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:44.360
said, there's good things on the horizon, I feel.

00:03:44.860 --> 00:03:48.280
And it's a battle, man, trust me. It's the world

00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.219
we're living in, more specifically the country

00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:52.120
we're living in, there's a lot of BS right now.

00:03:52.780 --> 00:03:57.150
And just bad, bad stuff. It's hard waking up

00:03:57.150 --> 00:04:00.069
every day and just trying to be positive and

00:04:00.069 --> 00:04:02.849
happy, shiny people. I mean, it's really hard

00:04:02.849 --> 00:04:06.689
to be on that bus, you know? Because it's disingenuous.

00:04:06.830 --> 00:04:09.289
Right. You don't want to be disingenuous. Life

00:04:09.289 --> 00:04:14.050
gets hard and you can't always let that be your

00:04:14.050 --> 00:04:18.649
face. That's tiring and it's exhausting. There's

00:04:18.649 --> 00:04:21.579
so much other shit that's exhausting. Don't add

00:04:21.579 --> 00:04:25.720
that to your list. If a good friend comes up

00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:27.759
to you and has been like, how have you been lately?

00:04:28.139 --> 00:04:32.620
It's okay to be like, not so hot. Can I lend

00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:35.279
you your ear for two minutes? That's totally

00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.600
fine. It's what friends are for. That's what

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:39.220
friends are for and then you feel a little bit

00:04:39.220 --> 00:04:40.620
better at the end of it because you're able to

00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:43.920
get it out and perhaps even get a little bit

00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:49.089
of communication back to maybe... help your mood

00:04:49.089 --> 00:04:51.550
a little bit, brighten your day a little bit.

00:04:52.069 --> 00:04:55.029
Maybe they can relate, maybe they have advice,

00:04:55.550 --> 00:04:58.649
maybe they're just a good ear to lend on. And

00:04:58.649 --> 00:05:01.389
they'll just listen. So whatever that case is,

00:05:01.629 --> 00:05:05.629
that's important, like I said. Absolutely blessed

00:05:05.629 --> 00:05:08.170
to have the friends that I have and a lot of

00:05:08.170 --> 00:05:12.170
new ones for that matter That are just genuinely

00:05:12.170 --> 00:05:13.850
good people. They're good people. They're fun

00:05:13.850 --> 00:05:16.449
people and you are the people person I am the

00:05:16.449 --> 00:05:20.069
people person between me and I've got a friend

00:05:20.069 --> 00:05:24.990
her name is Jess She's a she's a bartender extraordinaire

00:05:24.990 --> 00:05:28.389
But she also works for the courts here in Valparaiso.

00:05:28.389 --> 00:05:31.069
Double dude. She works like 60 hours a week.

00:05:31.850 --> 00:05:36.910
It's unbelievable between her and I, we're like,

00:05:37.009 --> 00:05:39.089
yeah, we might know everyone in town. Right.

00:05:39.430 --> 00:05:41.449
Between the two of us, we might know everybody

00:05:41.449 --> 00:05:44.389
in town. So it's it's kind of kind of interesting

00:05:44.389 --> 00:05:48.189
and funny. But, you know, that that being the

00:05:48.189 --> 00:05:51.970
case, it's it's I've told this before, too, on

00:05:51.970 --> 00:05:55.370
the show where I often think of others before

00:05:55.370 --> 00:05:58.269
I think of myself. I would rather be that empath,

00:05:58.350 --> 00:06:00.850
I would rather be that person that sees someone

00:06:00.850 --> 00:06:03.269
else struggling, regardless of my struggles,

00:06:03.810 --> 00:06:05.930
sees someone else struggling, and I have five

00:06:05.930 --> 00:06:08.350
bucks in my wallet, that's all I got, but they

00:06:08.350 --> 00:06:11.170
need it, I'm giving it to them. And maybe I'm

00:06:11.170 --> 00:06:14.430
an idiot for doing that, but that's how I made

00:06:14.430 --> 00:06:18.350
it. It's how I made it. And if it's somebody

00:06:18.350 --> 00:06:19.790
that's just like, oh, I've had this terrible

00:06:19.790 --> 00:06:23.930
thing, all right, well, tell me, tell me about

00:06:23.930 --> 00:06:30.899
it. At any rate, you know, that's kind of how

00:06:30.899 --> 00:06:33.920
it's going, you know? It is how it's going. I

00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.819
think you've made this joke before of like, damn,

00:06:37.379 --> 00:06:40.300
I kind of passed that down onto you, hey? Like,

00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:44.399
well, you know, in most situations, that is the

00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:48.889
case. But I don't really find it as... Don't

00:06:48.889 --> 00:06:50.870
know there's there's something in my brain that

00:06:50.870 --> 00:06:54.269
doesn't tell me that this is or should be an

00:06:54.269 --> 00:06:57.829
atypical behavior you would imagine this you

00:06:57.829 --> 00:07:05.810
know empathy should be the bare minimum for an

00:07:05.810 --> 00:07:10.410
intelligent communicative species correct yeah,

00:07:10.709 --> 00:07:16.569
and yet just the the the wrath of What seems

00:07:16.569 --> 00:07:18.470
to be the mass is really it's just the wrath

00:07:18.470 --> 00:07:23.889
of a few that control the media right that everything

00:07:23.889 --> 00:07:28.689
seems negative, but God damn if if most people

00:07:28.689 --> 00:07:33.009
aren't good people most people are good people

00:07:33.009 --> 00:07:36.350
and And that that is the standard empathy is

00:07:36.350 --> 00:07:39.490
the standard sympathy is should be the standard.

00:07:39.490 --> 00:07:43.550
Yeah. Oh, yeah so yeah, not that this is how

00:07:43.550 --> 00:07:46.680
I thought the intro would go but you know 2026

00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.240
off to a rough start uh and we're we've got a

00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.540
great show planned for you but hey you know reach

00:07:52.540 --> 00:07:55.019
out to a friend today yeah just say hello if

00:07:55.019 --> 00:07:57.180
you haven't said hello yeah i would do that and

00:07:57.180 --> 00:08:00.500
and we'll probably we'll probably discuss things

00:08:00.500 --> 00:08:03.740
like this over the next few episodes just because

00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:08.180
so much is going on uh and as i said we we tried

00:08:08.180 --> 00:08:10.500
to get away from the politics stuff a little

00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:14.980
bit because i know that can be You know, for

00:08:14.980 --> 00:08:17.319
some people listening to our show, maybe some

00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:18.839
of the things that we say might be a bridge too

00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.379
far. Now, I'm not going to apologize for the

00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:24.399
way I think and the things that I believe, but

00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.040
in the same sense... I'm going to say them because

00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.279
it's our podcast. Right. We have that ability.

00:08:30.339 --> 00:08:32.639
Right. But in the same sense, it's like, all

00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.320
right, let's let's take a break. And we have,

00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.960
you know, for the for several episodes where

00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:38.860
we've we've done some different things, things

00:08:38.860 --> 00:08:41.279
associated with the holidays for some intros

00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:42.840
just to kind of lighten the mood a little bit,

00:08:42.860 --> 00:08:45.720
which I felt we needed to do. And I think it's

00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.159
been good. Yeah, I agree. And we're doing that

00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:49.720
again today. You know, we're staying away from

00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.179
politics thing. But there's enough going on right

00:08:52.179 --> 00:08:54.830
now that I think. You know it demands our attention,

00:08:54.830 --> 00:08:57.289
and I think in the next episode or two. We'll

00:08:57.289 --> 00:09:00.769
we'll get to some things some cliff notes Yeah,

00:09:00.850 --> 00:09:03.409
yeah some things that are going on that. I think

00:09:03.409 --> 00:09:06.710
we just once again to get off our chest and do

00:09:06.710 --> 00:09:09.769
I feel Most of the people listen are probably

00:09:09.769 --> 00:09:13.409
like -minded individuals. I think so But you

00:09:13.409 --> 00:09:14.870
know there's gonna be folks out there that might

00:09:14.870 --> 00:09:16.809
be on the other side of the aisle that don't

00:09:16.809 --> 00:09:19.350
necessarily believe everything And you want to

00:09:19.350 --> 00:09:22.580
know something that's okay It's completely fine.

00:09:23.139 --> 00:09:27.919
And I tell people that. There was a quick story.

00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:30.320
There's someone I know, her name's Sandra, and

00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.159
she's a friend of mine. And she's right. She's

00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.840
been on the right forever. And when the story

00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:40.059
came out about everything that happened in Minneapolis

00:09:40.059 --> 00:09:42.480
with the shooting, which is something we'll get

00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:47.440
into later, she had a different view. And it

00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.179
wasn't like... Republican talking point she just

00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:52.960
kind of shared the video and was like yeah I

00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.639
think she tried to hit the guy and that was that

00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.360
was just her take on it and I was very polite

00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.860
back because it's a friend of mine and I was

00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:04.860
just like mmm you know I said we disagree and

00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:07.480
I just stated my reasons why I'm like I've I've

00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.440
been on this thing all morning right there's

00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.740
a multiple I've got nothing else to do folks

00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:13.960
so I've been on this thing all morning I've looked

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.440
at different camera angles I'm like dude was

00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.159
out of the way he just murdered her Right. Plain

00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.559
and simple. Right. And she, later on in that

00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.500
day, she agreed with that. And I think that's

00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:25.919
fine, but some people jumped on my thread and

00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:29.120
were just going after her. And I'm like, okay,

00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:31.580
you can disagree with her. I disagreed with her.

00:10:31.580 --> 00:10:33.440
We disagree on things, but it doesn't mean I

00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:36.559
dislike her or hate her. We disagree. And for

00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:40.659
them to jump in as harshly as they did, I'm just

00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:43.039
going to say off jump, it makes you look weak.

00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.139
It makes you look weak to attack someone. I do

00:10:48.139 --> 00:10:53.960
agree with you to a point where the point I would

00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.539
disagree with you on is the burden of education

00:10:56.539 --> 00:11:02.080
does not fall on anybody in particular. If you

00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:06.240
only see one angle of a particular story, and

00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.440
of course the way social media works, it will

00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.919
skew said angles towards the content you viewed

00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:15.600
previously. So you only see the one angle. You

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.419
only see the talking points that social media

00:11:18.419 --> 00:11:22.019
decides to provide to you. Your first instinct

00:11:22.019 --> 00:11:25.279
is to believe what you see. Sure. But the burden

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.519
of education falls on you to make sure you know

00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:30.639
what you're talking about. That's my only counter

00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:34.419
argument is there's other angles of this woman

00:11:34.419 --> 00:11:40.659
getting murdered by government employees. You

00:11:40.659 --> 00:11:44.000
could have just looked up More about the story

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.080
and come to that conclusion yourself. Oh sure

00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.000
and and yeah as as a friend or an acquaintance

00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:53.980
sure you you could feel it in your heart to to

00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:57.840
provide further context and and links and sources

00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:04.120
to To properly show the facts, right? Mm -hmm,

00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:09.100
but for the common individual it's so Easy to

00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:12.440
be like, oh fuck you. You're wrong, right? Thing

00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:15.279
is you don't have to say that. No, you don't

00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.240
have to say that you can choose not to engage

00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.379
Correct. You're like, well, this is that not

00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:23.940
my circus. Not my monkey died. I'm not I'm not

00:12:23.940 --> 00:12:27.159
gonna engage with this post because right it's

00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.559
it's not my business to educate this person on

00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:34.340
what the facts are Yep, so it's it's I don't

00:12:34.340 --> 00:12:37.139
know if two sides of the same coin is the right

00:12:37.139 --> 00:12:42.509
simile or metaphor I'm looking for but it's Social

00:12:42.509 --> 00:12:45.889
media is so tiring already. Yeah. To go onto

00:12:45.889 --> 00:12:49.370
social media and have to educate people on what

00:12:49.370 --> 00:12:52.929
they're missing post after post can feel like

00:12:52.929 --> 00:12:55.309
a lot. Oh, for sure. And it's not a burden everyone

00:12:55.309 --> 00:12:57.909
has to take. It's a burden you can take and be

00:12:57.909 --> 00:13:01.690
like, okay, X, Y, and Z, here's links and sources

00:13:01.690 --> 00:13:04.769
and posts you should look into, and this is why

00:13:04.769 --> 00:13:08.440
I feel you're wrong. Yeah. You can do that. But

00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.580
here's where it gets interesting, in this particular

00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:16.259
case, is that that should have been my job as

00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:19.419
this person is my friend. Sure. If I chose to

00:13:19.419 --> 00:13:22.659
go hard on her, or if I chose to be like, well,

00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:24.679
I don't know about that, or if we chose to have

00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.889
a private discussion off that thread. That would

00:13:27.889 --> 00:13:30.090
have been perfectly fine sure but for someone

00:13:30.090 --> 00:13:32.809
that has no idea who this person is They knew

00:13:32.809 --> 00:13:34.850
who I am because obviously they're seeing my

00:13:34.850 --> 00:13:39.610
post But to jump in on someone What what what

00:13:39.610 --> 00:13:42.570
if I was dating her and you're jumping into my

00:13:42.570 --> 00:13:46.330
thread going hard on her? Oh, I I see the contact

00:13:46.330 --> 00:13:49.929
now I know I got to turn around on you and be

00:13:49.929 --> 00:13:52.850
like well now I have to kill you right. It's

00:13:52.850 --> 00:13:55.679
this this was You can say you disagree. You can

00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:57.759
say why you disagree. You can be intelligent

00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:02.200
and professional about it and not attack because

00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:04.340
you don't know that person. I feel it different

00:14:04.340 --> 00:14:06.299
if you have some sort of relationship or you

00:14:06.299 --> 00:14:09.600
know someone, you know, like I have a buddy named

00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.279
Mondo. If we disagree, I'm going to go hard on

00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:14.919
him or he'll come back at me. But it's like we're

00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:16.799
friends and then we're going to have a beer in

00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.350
10 minutes. Right. Same thing with Steve. Even

00:14:20.350 --> 00:14:23.529
with you, but we share the same brain, so it's

00:14:23.529 --> 00:14:27.169
freaking rare when you and I disagree on something

00:14:27.169 --> 00:14:31.909
like that. But it happens, and it's okay if you

00:14:31.909 --> 00:14:33.529
have that interpersonal relationship. If you

00:14:33.529 --> 00:14:36.049
don't, on social media, and I think this is where

00:14:36.049 --> 00:14:38.870
we just run into trouble as a society, where

00:14:38.870 --> 00:14:40.889
you just jump into these things and you don't

00:14:40.889 --> 00:14:42.649
know these people, it's one thing if somebody's

00:14:42.649 --> 00:14:46.789
being an outright fascist, Nazi, violent, asshole.

00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.559
Go get them. But if it's just a matter or difference

00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:53.039
of opinion, or someone's like, hey, I see this,

00:14:53.700 --> 00:14:56.200
to just automatically be like, brah, brah, brah,

00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:57.919
now I've had enough of these maggots, and I'm

00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:03.279
like, okay, you need to... Well, first of all,

00:15:03.379 --> 00:15:06.440
you and me both. Secondly, wrong thread, you

00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:09.659
don't understand the context. Right, right. It's

00:15:09.659 --> 00:15:12.120
so... And that brings it back to the point you

00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:15.139
were making a moment ago of it's so easy online

00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:19.179
to see a name and to see a face and to not see

00:15:19.179 --> 00:15:22.460
the human being. Correct. It's so easy to miss

00:15:22.460 --> 00:15:25.529
the fact that that's... Well, granted there's,

00:15:25.529 --> 00:15:29.009
I mean, most of the internet is bots now, but.

00:15:29.529 --> 00:15:31.990
Sadly. Yeah, take that with a grain of contacts

00:15:31.990 --> 00:15:35.230
next time you go into a Twitter thread. Yeah,

00:15:35.250 --> 00:15:38.190
next time you're arguing with a set of binary

00:15:38.190 --> 00:15:42.129
numbers, you are brave. You are brave, man. But

00:15:42.129 --> 00:15:47.909
it's just, with empathy in mind, it is important

00:15:47.909 --> 00:15:53.490
to note that whether in person, or online, for

00:15:53.490 --> 00:15:56.970
the most part, the chances of you interacting

00:15:56.970 --> 00:16:00.529
with another human being are high. Correct. And

00:16:00.529 --> 00:16:03.789
you have to recognize that's a human being. Yes.

00:16:04.009 --> 00:16:09.289
If they seem like some neo -Nazi, fascist, white

00:16:09.289 --> 00:16:12.429
supremacist piece of shit, guess what? They could

00:16:12.429 --> 00:16:14.750
already be lost. Fuck it, it's not worth your

00:16:14.750 --> 00:16:16.610
time or energy. You're right. They're not gonna

00:16:16.610 --> 00:16:18.909
hear your points because their brain is fucking

00:16:18.909 --> 00:16:23.000
fried. Yep. Period. But if it's a friend of a

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:25.019
friend, or it's an acquaintance, and they say

00:16:25.019 --> 00:16:26.600
something where you're like, oh, whoa, whoa,

00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:28.559
whoa, wait a minute, wait, wait, wait a minute.

00:16:28.779 --> 00:16:31.440
Right. Guess what? You can have a discussion.

00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:33.779
Yeah. You can have a discussion with them. And

00:16:33.779 --> 00:16:37.000
if it's a thread where you weren't invited, you

00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.220
just got the notification of like, a friend of

00:16:39.220 --> 00:16:41.759
a friend commented on a friend of a friend of

00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.240
a friend's post. Right. You don't have to chime

00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:47.919
in. You can choose not to chime in. Correct.

00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:53.100
That's OK. Sure. You can click a dislike button

00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:55.940
and be on your way. Homegirl ended up seeing

00:16:55.940 --> 00:17:00.100
the right side of the story. Yeah. Great. Grand.

00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.360
Yeah. The other comments didn't help. They didn't.

00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:08.359
Providing context and sources and human empathy

00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:12.339
of, hey, this person might simply be misled is

00:17:12.339 --> 00:17:15.344
so important in today's day and age where...

00:17:15.339 --> 00:17:21.299
Fucking CNN and Fox News and CBS. We are in a

00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:25.460
post -truth world. Yes. Where the biggest names

00:17:25.460 --> 00:17:30.119
in media just share and promote bullshit. That's

00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:35.019
all they do. Just be kind and courteous. Empathize

00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:37.259
and sympathize with your fellow human beings.

00:17:37.299 --> 00:17:41.440
Right. The fact that an associate or a friend

00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.990
of a friend of a friend might be misled. That's

00:17:44.990 --> 00:17:48.230
gonna happen. Correct. You can provide sources,

00:17:48.450 --> 00:17:51.529
you can provide context and content that could

00:17:51.529 --> 00:17:53.650
sway their mind, and guess what? At that point

00:17:53.650 --> 00:17:55.910
you've done your part. Yeah. You don't have to

00:17:55.910 --> 00:17:58.609
engage further. If they continue down their path,

00:17:58.869 --> 00:18:01.990
hey whatever. Right, exactly. I agree with that.

00:18:02.190 --> 00:18:06.589
Hey whatever. Right. That's it? Words to live

00:18:06.589 --> 00:18:11.150
by, man. Yep. It's the equivalent of, it is what

00:18:11.150 --> 00:18:14.890
it is. Right, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. And I

00:18:14.890 --> 00:18:17.730
think it's just, it's really important to know

00:18:17.730 --> 00:18:21.710
that not everybody on the other end is gonna

00:18:21.710 --> 00:18:26.670
be this crazy whack job, mega person. And you

00:18:26.670 --> 00:18:28.849
need to slow your roll a little bit, unless you

00:18:28.849 --> 00:18:33.809
really know. Because in a way, what good are

00:18:33.809 --> 00:18:36.950
you doing if you're like, blah, blah, blah, you're

00:18:36.950 --> 00:18:39.750
wrong, I'm on the left and I must be right, blah,

00:18:39.890 --> 00:18:42.349
blah. And now you're doing nothing but being

00:18:42.349 --> 00:18:45.450
belligerent and being a bully. So you've gone

00:18:45.450 --> 00:18:47.150
from being like, well, I'm gonna take the high

00:18:47.150 --> 00:18:49.269
road and I'm gonna say my point to being belligerent

00:18:49.269 --> 00:18:51.529
and a bully. And I'm like, to my point is like,

00:18:51.549 --> 00:18:54.839
how is that better? Because now it's like oh

00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:57.099
this person's coming in and they're wrong, but

00:18:57.099 --> 00:18:59.619
they're carrying kerosene well hell I'm gonna

00:18:59.619 --> 00:19:03.140
bring the match right well why right why what's

00:19:03.140 --> 00:19:05.920
the point right the most you the best you can

00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:12.920
do is is facts cited sources Context and and

00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:15.500
associated content with the previous three things

00:19:15.500 --> 00:19:19.240
yeah, if they don't interact with any of those

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:21.980
they continue down their way Whatever you did

00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:25.460
your thing Yes. Leave it alone. Leave it alone.

00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:27.740
You know, you say your piece, and I literally

00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:30.380
did. I said one thing to her, where I just say,

00:19:30.539 --> 00:19:32.220
you know, I disagree. I've been looking at her

00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:34.420
all morning, blah, blah. To which she didn't

00:19:34.420 --> 00:19:36.680
reply. So she probably went and looked herself

00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:38.480
and whatever and went down the rabbit hole or

00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:41.039
whatever. Because then later in the day, she

00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:42.960
chimed back and she's like, yeah, that was awful.

00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:47.619
Yeah. There you go. And she came to that conclusion

00:19:47.619 --> 00:19:49.779
on her own without you having to be a complete

00:19:49.779 --> 00:19:52.779
asshole. Right. Yeah, you didn't help. Right.

00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:56.740
Oh, man. Be a human being and treat your human

00:19:56.740 --> 00:19:59.720
beings around you as if they're human beings.

00:20:00.180 --> 00:20:03.259
Because they are. They are. And you never know

00:20:03.259 --> 00:20:05.500
what people are going through. Right. You never

00:20:05.500 --> 00:20:08.569
know. Right, everyone out there, it's tough because

00:20:08.569 --> 00:20:12.250
we're all trapped in our own minds. And it's

00:20:12.250 --> 00:20:14.589
tough to understand the fact that everyone out

00:20:14.589 --> 00:20:17.210
there, the person you drove past, the person

00:20:17.210 --> 00:20:19.710
that had road rage and flew past you on the highway,

00:20:20.390 --> 00:20:22.549
or the person that took too long ordering their

00:20:22.549 --> 00:20:25.609
Starbucks in front of you, they're all living

00:20:25.609 --> 00:20:31.430
the same vivid and dense human life that you

00:20:31.430 --> 00:20:35.309
are. Yes, correct. Just have that empathy that

00:20:35.309 --> 00:20:39.430
idea in your brain of just It's okay if I have

00:20:39.430 --> 00:20:42.769
to wait an extra 30 seconds in this subway line

00:20:42.769 --> 00:20:47.109
Yeah, whatever dude. Yeah, whatever. It's fine.

00:20:47.190 --> 00:20:49.630
There are bigger things. There's bigger problems

00:20:49.630 --> 00:20:54.329
to tackle Capitalism corporatism fascism Those

00:20:54.329 --> 00:20:57.049
are big things to tackle right the person in

00:20:57.049 --> 00:20:59.150
front of you that took a little too long to order

00:20:59.150 --> 00:21:03.640
Dude chill. It's fine. Dude chill Real retail

00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.279
workers get the raw end of the stick if you interact

00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:09.200
with a retail worker. That's a little short with

00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:11.140
you Hey, man, they probably have already had

00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:14.319
it. They've had a shit day already. Hey dog.

00:21:14.700 --> 00:21:17.059
Sorry to bother right? That's that's it exactly

00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:20.279
human empathy. Yeah Yeah, that's it. I mean it

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:23.660
should come as first nature right stuff simple

00:21:23.660 --> 00:21:28.200
as holding a door for someone something as simple

00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:31.359
as Someone being in line to get a cup of coffee

00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:33.680
and they're like, oh my god I left my wallet

00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:36.759
at home or whatever. I gotcha. It's four bones.

00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.319
Yeah, I'll grab your coffee. I gotcha. It's totally

00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:40.740
cool. Just pay it forward sometime. Right. And

00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:42.740
you know the stuff like that that that gets you

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:45.680
a little bit back to humanity and just seeing

00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.059
a person as a person and as I said everybody

00:21:48.059 --> 00:21:50.559
is kind of going through different things and

00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:53.660
Yeah, do I have a negative view of people on

00:21:53.660 --> 00:21:56.700
the very far, right? I do. I just I think they're

00:21:56.700 --> 00:21:58.470
wrong. I guess that they're on the wrong part

00:21:58.470 --> 00:22:02.430
of history. And I'm going to do what I can to

00:22:02.430 --> 00:22:05.890
educate them if and when they want that information.

00:22:05.910 --> 00:22:07.210
Sure. I'm not going to beat them over the head

00:22:07.210 --> 00:22:08.309
with it because it's not going to do any good.

00:22:08.410 --> 00:22:10.690
A lot of them are in a cult, so to speak. Right.

00:22:11.990 --> 00:22:14.970
But my hope is that some of them find their way

00:22:14.970 --> 00:22:18.230
out. Yes. That's my hope. And I've seen it a

00:22:18.230 --> 00:22:21.150
little bit already, which is good. We're going

00:22:21.150 --> 00:22:24.670
to need more of that. But that's what I hope

00:22:24.670 --> 00:22:28.150
for. By being a good person and being a good

00:22:28.150 --> 00:22:31.490
human and doing good things, I can help with

00:22:31.490 --> 00:22:35.470
that? Great. Imperative. Yeah. We just have to

00:22:35.470 --> 00:22:38.289
get back to being empathetic humans again. Right.

00:22:38.630 --> 00:22:41.130
We just have to. Because if we don't, then what's

00:22:41.130 --> 00:22:43.009
the point? What's the point of any of it? Right.

00:22:43.690 --> 00:22:45.250
You know, you might as well just push all the

00:22:45.250 --> 00:22:48.170
big red shiny buttons and we'll just exterminate

00:22:48.170 --> 00:22:51.609
80 % of all humans and just let the roaches and

00:22:51.609 --> 00:22:53.269
the mice and the bumblebees fix everything. Right.

00:22:53.289 --> 00:22:56.819
They'll be the new future. intelligent species,

00:22:57.259 --> 00:23:00.059
and there'll be little cockroaches in congressional

00:23:00.059 --> 00:23:03.859
meetings. Exactly. Should we raise the minimum

00:23:03.859 --> 00:23:07.740
wage? Hmm. Mr. Bumblebee, I don't agree with

00:23:07.740 --> 00:23:16.680
you. Ask the wasps. Well, that's a show. Thanks,

00:23:16.940 --> 00:23:23.740
everybody. Anyway, for the pre -log before the

00:23:23.740 --> 00:23:27.980
opening dialogue, Right, exactly. You'll be getting

00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:32.000
more of this in coming weeks. So consider this

00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:36.140
maybe foreshadowing of what's to come. But yeah,

00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:39.220
I want to mention that Aiden has a gaming channel.

00:23:39.380 --> 00:23:42.400
It's called Aiden Spelled The Right Way. PC gaming

00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:44.900
content like GeoGuessr and PolyBridge, Observation

00:23:44.900 --> 00:23:48.410
Duty. I think you just did another... PolyBridge

00:23:48.410 --> 00:23:50.569
one, if I remember correctly. That's correct.

00:23:51.390 --> 00:23:54.190
You know, and he does so much more each and every

00:23:54.190 --> 00:23:56.230
week. So, tell everybody what you got going on

00:23:56.230 --> 00:23:58.730
out there. It's been a new venture. I am starting

00:23:58.730 --> 00:24:01.029
a new venture in PolyBridge, like you mentioned.

00:24:01.170 --> 00:24:06.549
Typically, when I play these PolyBridge or any

00:24:06.549 --> 00:24:10.450
type of mechanical or engineering type games,

00:24:10.869 --> 00:24:14.609
my goal is always to be like under budget, unbreaking,

00:24:15.009 --> 00:24:19.000
and in the top 50 % of... players yeah that's

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:22.799
my goal but I started a new thing where I tried

00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.480
to get the lowest stress possible when making

00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.619
bridges mmm which means like sure you could take

00:24:30.619 --> 00:24:32.599
these three hatchbacks and throw it on there

00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:34.960
but I also want to make sure if you'll put three

00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:37.559
semis on there that's gonna last Right. That's

00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:39.819
the goal is like low stress. That's my new goal

00:24:39.819 --> 00:24:43.559
in Poly Bridge recently. And it was fantastic.

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:48.000
I had so much fun with it. And that will be a

00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:50.740
continuing going forward. Usually I do two or

00:24:50.740 --> 00:24:53.599
three uploads a week. This week was only one

00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:59.890
with some 2026 drama, which... I'll get back

00:24:59.890 --> 00:25:03.029
to my three uploads a week, worry not. But yeah,

00:25:03.150 --> 00:25:05.789
that series will be continuing. Observation Duty

00:25:05.789 --> 00:25:09.509
8 will be continuing. A couple one -off video

00:25:09.509 --> 00:25:12.930
games I'll throw in the mix as well. It'll be

00:25:12.930 --> 00:25:15.549
fantastic, and I'm looking forward to it. That's

00:25:15.549 --> 00:25:17.509
awesome. Looking forward to the people enjoying

00:25:17.509 --> 00:25:20.430
it. Heck yeah. I know I do when I check it out.

00:25:21.109 --> 00:25:22.970
So everybody, once again, that's Aidan spelled

00:25:22.970 --> 00:25:24.430
the right way. Make sure you check it out on

00:25:24.430 --> 00:25:28.990
YouTube. Also, we had a collab channel. Of the

00:25:28.990 --> 00:25:31.849
two of us doing gaming together, so it kind of

00:25:31.849 --> 00:25:35.910
combines Aidan's gaming and Some of the craziness

00:25:35.910 --> 00:25:39.390
that you've just heard So the right so the craziness

00:25:39.390 --> 00:25:42.170
and madness and fun and an improv and everything

00:25:42.170 --> 00:25:45.190
that we do here and kind of put You know basically

00:25:45.190 --> 00:25:47.130
the peanut butter the chocolate and the peanut

00:25:47.130 --> 00:25:49.089
butter what you know the pickle in the mail whatever

00:25:49.089 --> 00:25:52.049
whatever We're the Ghostbusters crossing the

00:25:52.049 --> 00:25:54.529
streams. They didn't think it was possible. We

00:25:54.529 --> 00:25:58.230
we did it. We did it we did it but A little bit

00:25:58.230 --> 00:26:01.990
of a brand change, if he will. So I'm gonna let

00:26:01.990 --> 00:26:04.049
this guy talk about it a little bit. Yes, what

00:26:04.049 --> 00:26:06.009
everybody out there knew and has probably heard

00:26:06.009 --> 00:26:11.589
a couple dozen times as AK -219 was named that

00:26:11.589 --> 00:26:17.609
based on my initial A for Aiden and my former

00:26:17.609 --> 00:26:21.269
co -host's initial K for Kevin and our area code,

00:26:21.369 --> 00:26:24.529
219, the region, which a part of Chicagoland

00:26:24.529 --> 00:26:29.089
has that area code in the Indiana side. And that

00:26:29.089 --> 00:26:31.369
was the name of the channel. New name of the

00:26:31.369 --> 00:26:36.170
channel is A &M Gaming. That's the change. A

00:26:36.170 --> 00:26:40.009
&M Gaming, which is, of course, me, Aidan, my

00:26:40.009 --> 00:26:44.730
father, Mark Mosho of the Mark Mosho Mark Gaming.

00:26:45.329 --> 00:26:48.250
And that's what we do. That's what we do. So

00:26:48.250 --> 00:26:50.910
it's the content you've gotten at least used

00:26:50.910 --> 00:26:55.609
to on the... the previous AK -209, now A &M.

00:26:56.250 --> 00:26:59.970
And the reason I came up with that name and the

00:26:59.970 --> 00:27:03.430
new logo and channel banner you'll see when you

00:27:03.430 --> 00:27:08.150
visit there is I thought about it the other night,

00:27:08.230 --> 00:27:10.809
because I'm like, okay, you know, big life changes.

00:27:11.589 --> 00:27:15.029
I'm not going to get into any drama, but to keep

00:27:15.029 --> 00:27:18.529
it succinct, I no longer associate with my former

00:27:18.529 --> 00:27:22.609
friend Kevin. I'll keep it at that. And I was

00:27:22.609 --> 00:27:25.690
thinking, okay, so how do I make Aiden and Mark

00:27:25.690 --> 00:27:28.549
into a cool new name? It could be AM -219, but

00:27:28.549 --> 00:27:30.349
that's too similar. I don't know if I like it.

00:27:30.349 --> 00:27:32.730
And I was thinking... Because otherwise it's

00:27:32.730 --> 00:27:38.630
AB -A and it's MA. Yeah, MA -219. And I was thinking,

00:27:38.930 --> 00:27:41.829
A and M. Why does that remind me of something?

00:27:42.269 --> 00:27:46.349
Oh, A and W. Which is delightful, by the way.

00:27:46.369 --> 00:27:48.589
It's fantastic. I wish they would sponsor us.

00:27:49.049 --> 00:27:51.910
But I was like, oh my god, that's a great idea.

00:27:51.950 --> 00:27:56.430
I could like make up like a satirized parody

00:27:56.430 --> 00:28:01.089
of the A &W logo make it A &M and Then I came

00:28:01.089 --> 00:28:04.250
up with this great tagline of like chug down

00:28:04.250 --> 00:28:07.589
some great content like I was like, oh, this

00:28:07.589 --> 00:28:09.950
is gold I have to remember it for tomorrow and

00:28:09.950 --> 00:28:13.829
that that change was made today for us which

00:28:13.829 --> 00:28:15.990
is also today for all you lovely listeners, of

00:28:15.990 --> 00:28:18.930
course. So yeah, check it out. Previously known

00:28:18.930 --> 00:28:22.809
as AK209 is now A &M Gaming. Anyone that was

00:28:22.809 --> 00:28:24.930
subscribed is still subscribed. Anyone that's

00:28:24.930 --> 00:28:28.309
not can go and check it out. I love it. It's

00:28:28.309 --> 00:28:31.910
a lot of fun. So essentially, other than the

00:28:31.910 --> 00:28:34.230
brand change, everything that we're doing is

00:28:34.230 --> 00:28:37.799
going to remain the same. And some new technology

00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:39.740
that we have in the studio too. So that's going

00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:44.599
to be that's kind of going to be fun too So now

00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:47.079
you'll see as much clear and every blemish and

00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:49.839
default and defunct. Yes. Yeah, you're welcome

00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:54.079
for that one pros and cons of a new camera Exactly.

00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:57.700
So yeah, a lot of good stuff happening on that

00:28:57.700 --> 00:29:00.940
end of stuff You know, so we'll be doing collaborative

00:29:00.940 --> 00:29:04.740
gaming a lot on the GeoGuessr stuff and observation

00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:08.759
duty. We just did some BuzzFeed quizzes, which

00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:10.519
turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought

00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:12.220
they would be, because a lot of times when we

00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:14.920
pick these games, we're picking games that we

00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:17.279
can play that are fun to play, that are interesting,

00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:20.579
but that allow us to communicate and make jokes

00:29:20.579 --> 00:29:25.200
and things like that. Right. And these particular

00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:28.259
games that we play allow us to do that. And I

00:29:28.259 --> 00:29:30.059
wasn't sure about the quiz. I'm like, I don't

00:29:30.059 --> 00:29:32.839
know about that. Sure as shit, man. That was

00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:34.619
really fun. I thought it was great. That was

00:29:34.619 --> 00:29:38.880
good. So that gives us another game, a quiz,

00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:42.099
if you will. Yeah. So yeah, I'm looking forward

00:29:42.099 --> 00:29:43.940
to it, man. I love it. It's a lot of fun. Damn

00:29:43.940 --> 00:29:47.559
right. And so other than that, you have about

00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:51.000
two more weeks for After Hours, which is my radio

00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:54.420
show on wvlp .org. Tune in app on your handheld

00:29:54.420 --> 00:29:58.000
device. And I'm going to do two more. It's the

00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:01.779
end of it for now. Okay, so it's not permanent.

00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:04.720
I've had a lot of people checking into my socials

00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:07.420
for after hours so obviously the rumors out there

00:30:07.420 --> 00:30:09.200
that this thing might be going away or whatever

00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:12.039
so people are Maybe going there for information

00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:14.380
or whatever the case might be so I I need to

00:30:14.380 --> 00:30:16.440
be better about updating that So I'm gonna do

00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:20.259
that soon and but at any rate Now is the time

00:30:20.259 --> 00:30:23.599
to leave the radio station It was that it was

00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:26.240
definitely the time to leave when I left Originally

00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.980
to do this podcast right? Which is what, we were

00:30:29.980 --> 00:30:34.140
gonna do this anyway. Some situations sped up

00:30:34.140 --> 00:30:37.019
the process. But I think it still, it allowed

00:30:37.019 --> 00:30:39.440
us to really hit the gas and get going on the

00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:43.660
podcast. I left my music show, which is like

00:30:43.660 --> 00:30:46.079
alt rock and Celtic punk and stuff, I left that

00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:48.259
alone because I had a lot of advertisers. I had

00:30:48.259 --> 00:30:49.740
people that were supporting my show and I'm like,

00:30:49.859 --> 00:30:51.819
you know, if I pull everything, they're getting

00:30:51.819 --> 00:30:54.059
the short end of the stick. So I kept it going

00:30:54.059 --> 00:30:58.319
for a while. But I've kind of I've gone above

00:30:58.319 --> 00:31:00.500
and beyond on that and it's getting to the point

00:31:00.500 --> 00:31:03.119
where it's not fun anymore and There's a lot

00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.599
of reasons for that which I will not take it

00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:08.720
public just like sure didn't take things public

00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:12.240
But it's it's time to move on and I will have

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:14.599
other opportunities There are other people that

00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:17.079
have internet radio, which is not covered by

00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:20.880
the FCC So once again for a lot of the reasons

00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:24.109
we brought the Mark Mo show over to the podcast,

00:31:24.910 --> 00:31:26.549
same deal's gonna apply for the internet radio.

00:31:26.950 --> 00:31:29.450
It's just gonna give us a lot of freedom to do

00:31:29.450 --> 00:31:31.670
whatever the hell we want, we need to have guests,

00:31:32.470 --> 00:31:35.230
studio access, all that kind of good stuff, and

00:31:35.230 --> 00:31:39.450
not have to worry about other things. Right,

00:31:39.910 --> 00:31:42.789
right. Other things. That is the best way I can

00:31:42.789 --> 00:31:44.589
put it, and that's how I'm gonna leave it. Fair

00:31:44.589 --> 00:31:49.049
point. But anyway, now onto our actual real intro,

00:31:49.490 --> 00:31:55.130
32 minutes into the show. You know, I'm a sports

00:31:55.130 --> 00:31:56.750
guy. This used to be a sports show originally.

00:31:56.750 --> 00:31:59.750
Yeah. Yeah. A while back. It used to be called

00:31:59.750 --> 00:32:01.349
Coach's Corner, and we had a great time with

00:32:01.349 --> 00:32:06.430
it. And for those that listen to that and maybe

00:32:06.430 --> 00:32:09.950
now listen to this show, huge college football

00:32:09.950 --> 00:32:13.430
fans, right? But even though we're onto the championship

00:32:13.430 --> 00:32:16.759
and all this other stuff, College football is

00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:18.279
a problem. They have a lot of problems, actually.

00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:20.579
So the challenges in college football involve,

00:32:20.579 --> 00:32:22.859
like, navigating name, image, and likeness, which

00:32:22.859 --> 00:32:25.539
is called NIL, managing the transfer portal,

00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:28.779
which is a shit show. Oh, yeah. Significant conference

00:32:28.779 --> 00:32:31.259
realignment, maintaining competitive rosters,

00:32:31.819 --> 00:32:34.119
ensuring player health and safety balancing,

00:32:34.900 --> 00:32:38.019
academics with athletic demands, and issues with

00:32:38.019 --> 00:32:40.920
parity and bowl system, creating complex issues

00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:43.160
for coaches, athletes, and the sports structure.

00:32:43.779 --> 00:32:48.289
A lot going on. Right. And so I'll mention some

00:32:48.289 --> 00:32:50.390
of these as I just went through them so quickly.

00:32:51.269 --> 00:32:53.490
So there's administrative and structural challenges,

00:32:53.849 --> 00:32:56.289
conference realignment, so there's constant shifts

00:32:56.289 --> 00:32:59.789
in the conference alignments that create instability

00:32:59.789 --> 00:33:02.569
in new competitive landscapes, NIL and Transport

00:33:02.569 --> 00:33:04.650
Portal, which we talked about. So that's like

00:33:04.650 --> 00:33:09.690
managing player compensation. So for example,

00:33:11.029 --> 00:33:14.470
Michigan... or the wealthy donor people of Michigan

00:33:14.470 --> 00:33:16.890
can sit there and throw six million dollars at

00:33:16.890 --> 00:33:19.930
some young kid that can throw a football. Whereas,

00:33:20.990 --> 00:33:24.509
can Indiana State do that? Can Troy do that?

00:33:24.529 --> 00:33:27.529
Right. Can Northern Illinois University do that?

00:33:27.809 --> 00:33:31.430
North Dakota State? Yeah. It's just, yeah, it's

00:33:31.430 --> 00:33:35.490
not. Even though maybe that coach or maybe that

00:33:35.490 --> 00:33:37.670
coach or that system or whatever might even be

00:33:37.670 --> 00:33:40.140
better for that kid. He's gonna take that cash

00:33:40.140 --> 00:33:43.500
right because even if he flares out in one season.

00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:46.960
He's gonna be like I'm done. Yeah, I made some

00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:49.119
dollars. I'm I made dollars I'm gonna sit on

00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:51.000
the interest the rest of my life right and I'll

00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:56.579
be fine So that's a problem so Managing the NIL

00:33:56.579 --> 00:33:58.759
and free movement of players via the transfer

00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.059
portal makes roster building extremely difficult,

00:34:01.059 --> 00:34:03.039
especially for the smaller programs, as I mentioned.

00:34:03.740 --> 00:34:06.180
Parity, the gap between elite programs and others

00:34:06.180 --> 00:34:08.980
widen due to resources and talent acquisition,

00:34:09.380 --> 00:34:12.239
leading to uneven competition. For those that

00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:15.119
watch the playoffs, Notre Dame was not allowed

00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:18.340
in, which is the dumbest shit I've ever heard

00:34:18.340 --> 00:34:20.079
in my life because by the end of the season they

00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:21.639
were easily the second or third best football

00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:23.579
team in the country. How are you not involved

00:34:23.579 --> 00:34:28.730
in a 12 - team playoff when, who was in it? Tulane.

00:34:29.829 --> 00:34:31.750
I'm trying to think of the other small school

00:34:31.750 --> 00:34:35.110
that was in it. It was Tulane and who gives a

00:34:35.110 --> 00:34:39.429
shit state. And Alabama, who had three losses,

00:34:39.530 --> 00:34:41.670
who got their asses handed to them by Indiana.

00:34:42.369 --> 00:34:45.650
And I thought immediately three teams that should

00:34:45.650 --> 00:34:50.789
not even have sniffed a 12 team playoff. And

00:34:50.789 --> 00:34:53.719
here we are. And Notre Dame's out. when Notre

00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:56.320
Dame would probably be playing. Because they

00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:57.860
would have played Indiana last week, they would

00:34:57.860 --> 00:35:00.440
have kicked Indiana's ass, and they would have

00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:03.139
been playing Oregon tonight. That's plain and

00:35:03.139 --> 00:35:05.079
simple. And it's not being a homer, it's not

00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:06.920
being anything else, it's just being the truth.

00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:08.539
Notre Dame beat Indiana last year, they would

00:35:08.539 --> 00:35:11.099
have beat them again this year. Notre Dame had

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:13.800
a better team. They had a better team. Love would

00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:17.440
have ran all over them. All over them. And Carr

00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:20.650
was becoming a much better quarterback. Than

00:35:20.650 --> 00:35:22.130
he was at the beginning of the season when they

00:35:22.130 --> 00:35:25.570
lost two games by four total points, right? And

00:35:25.570 --> 00:35:27.750
you're gonna tell a team nah, you're out because

00:35:27.750 --> 00:35:30.329
of that right bullshit if you're telling a team

00:35:30.329 --> 00:35:31.989
They're out after two games. Why am I playing

00:35:31.989 --> 00:35:34.210
anymore? What's the standard? How about the other

00:35:34.210 --> 00:35:37.550
teams you let in? Correct, right? It's the way

00:35:37.550 --> 00:35:42.570
I'm looking at it. So governance and rules Evolving

00:35:42.570 --> 00:35:44.949
NCAA rules and the pressure to professionalize

00:35:44.949 --> 00:35:48.659
the sport while keeping it amateur create governance

00:35:48.659 --> 00:35:54.260
challenges, that is so true. Bowl system, debates

00:35:54.260 --> 00:35:55.780
continue over the value and structure of the

00:35:55.780 --> 00:35:59.800
bowl games and playoff expansion. Player and

00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:01.539
team challenges, so health and safety managing

00:36:01.539 --> 00:36:04.420
player fatigue from frequent play, like there

00:36:04.420 --> 00:36:06.780
have been teams that have played like, I'm like,

00:36:07.139 --> 00:36:09.579
they've had like four days rest or five days

00:36:09.579 --> 00:36:12.619
rest. What are you doing? You need a week. You

00:36:12.619 --> 00:36:16.409
need a week. Your body needs easily three days

00:36:16.409 --> 00:36:19.989
to recover from football. Yeah. And then you

00:36:19.989 --> 00:36:23.809
add on top of that retraining, reconditioning

00:36:23.809 --> 00:36:26.690
every week. Like it's a brutal sport. It's a

00:36:26.690 --> 00:36:29.130
brutal sport. Yes. Yep. You know, it's going

00:36:29.130 --> 00:36:32.329
to take you five, six days. Yeah. Yeah. Because,

00:36:32.329 --> 00:36:35.789
you know, teams on seven or eight days rest and

00:36:35.789 --> 00:36:38.650
they're playing teams on five. Ninety five percent

00:36:38.650 --> 00:36:41.079
time. the team that's had that extra rest is

00:36:41.079 --> 00:36:42.780
gonna kill them. Right, even if they're fairly

00:36:42.780 --> 00:36:45.619
balanced. Yeah, agreed. Yeah. It's that time

00:36:45.619 --> 00:36:48.719
off is, you know, so once again, managing the

00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:50.440
player fatigue, frequent play, chronic injuries,

00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:54.619
concussion risk, all that stuff should be paramount.

00:36:54.820 --> 00:36:57.699
Academic demands. Student -athlete balance demanding

00:36:57.699 --> 00:37:00.079
coursework, athletic schedules, and managing

00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.980
the athletic identity leading to stress and potential

00:37:02.980 --> 00:37:06.760
burnout. Roster management. Coaches constantly

00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:09.039
battle. to build competitive rosters with high

00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:11.539
turnover due to transfers and recruiting pressures.

00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:14.739
Right. And then of course, and we've talked about

00:37:14.739 --> 00:37:17.179
this so many times on this show, mental health.

00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:19.599
High pressure environments contribute to significant

00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:23.480
mental fatigue, stress for athletes. A fan of

00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:26.280
media challenges, so the gambling integration.

00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:29.679
The rise of sports betting. Right. Definitely

00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:32.719
brings complexity to the situation the fan experience

00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:35.500
issues like perceived greed and complexity of

00:37:35.500 --> 00:37:37.579
rules and sports becoming too much like the NFL

00:37:37.579 --> 00:37:40.599
Huge concern for fans one of my top concerns

00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:42.940
without question right couch football is not

00:37:42.940 --> 00:37:46.320
couch football anymore. Yeah, it's just not It's

00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:49.519
primarily why I've watched almost none of these

00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:51.260
games of the bowl games and things like that

00:37:51.260 --> 00:37:54.920
this year because it's just it's broken and Well,

00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:56.199
we'll get to it. I have a couple more things

00:37:56.199 --> 00:37:58.400
and then I'm going to vent as you can as well.

00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:01.960
Yeah. So coaching and development challenges.

00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:05.539
So recruiting the compressed timeline and increased

00:38:05.539 --> 00:38:07.699
competition for high school recruits are more

00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:10.079
challenging than ever. And player development,

00:38:10.300 --> 00:38:12.420
effectively developing talent while managing

00:38:12.420 --> 00:38:16.000
roster turnover and NIL expectations is a constant

00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:21.860
struggle. Now. No, go ahead. Quickly, I was just

00:38:21.860 --> 00:38:25.800
going to talk about the NCAA. Gutless leaderless

00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:28.940
punks. Oh, yeah Basically what I was gonna put

00:38:28.940 --> 00:38:31.260
it in a succinct fashion. That's absolutely accurate

00:38:31.260 --> 00:38:34.039
I wanted to go back to the point you were making

00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:36.960
about NIL specifically and the student athletes

00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:42.199
making money I never saw that as a problem necessarily

00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:47.840
because This is a multi -billion dollar Association

00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:51.840
the schools and coaches are making in Unbelievable

00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:56.050
quantities of money. Yep Where in most cases

00:38:56.050 --> 00:39:01.809
the highest paid State employee in most states

00:39:01.809 --> 00:39:04.349
is a football coach is the college football coach,

00:39:04.349 --> 00:39:07.630
correct? There's no reason that these student

00:39:07.630 --> 00:39:09.889
-athletes shouldn't get a cut of that and you

00:39:09.889 --> 00:39:12.170
could argue all while they're getting scholarships

00:39:12.170 --> 00:39:16.389
Well, guess what if if the heads of these associations

00:39:16.389 --> 00:39:19.780
and conferences and coaches are making millions,

00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:23.599
if not billions of dollars in revenue and profits,

00:39:24.420 --> 00:39:28.000
the kids should make money. Yes. The issue that

00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:32.400
you were specifically bringing up is how lawless

00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:38.280
and chaotic it is, where there's no rule about

00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:42.619
like, hey, like, no quarterback should be compensated

00:39:42.619 --> 00:39:45.599
50 % higher than the lowest compensated player

00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:49.969
on the team. Like, no... Sure. No... Teams total

00:39:49.969 --> 00:39:55.690
compensation should be 200 % higher than a same

00:39:55.690 --> 00:39:59.650
team in that conference's lowest compensated

00:39:59.650 --> 00:40:03.710
team total. There needs to be balance with all

00:40:03.710 --> 00:40:07.050
this. And that's something that this gutless,

00:40:07.230 --> 00:40:09.670
cowardly association that you were talking about,

00:40:10.269 --> 00:40:12.630
they haven't done. They haven't done. There's

00:40:12.630 --> 00:40:15.429
too much fucking money. I don't know if there's

00:40:15.429 --> 00:40:19.199
bribery going on. I'm not... insinuating that

00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:22.659
there could be. There could be there's big players

00:40:22.659 --> 00:40:25.960
with a lot of fucking money making choices that

00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:29.639
are deteriorating the sports of these college

00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:32.840
athletes. Correct. And that's highly problematic.

00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:38.340
It's good that these kids are making a fraction

00:40:38.340 --> 00:40:41.360
of the revenue that this massive association

00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:45.699
and these conferences make. That's good. The

00:40:45.699 --> 00:40:50.090
problem is it's lawless it's it's uncontained

00:40:50.090 --> 00:40:53.889
and it's leading to all of the problems you've

00:40:53.889 --> 00:40:59.989
mentioned yeah oh yeah it really is and to be

00:40:59.989 --> 00:41:01.989
able to sit here and say oh i have a solution

00:41:01.989 --> 00:41:07.809
i i i kind of do but it involves blowing the

00:41:07.809 --> 00:41:09.949
whole thing up right because i think you have

00:41:09.949 --> 00:41:14.860
to and as I said you have these gutless leaderless

00:41:14.860 --> 00:41:19.500
punks running the NCAA and the power brokers

00:41:19.500 --> 00:41:23.420
are those running the conferences more specifically

00:41:23.420 --> 00:41:27.480
the SEC and the Big Ten right and Thinking they

00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:31.239
could just get their way with a can't Regardless

00:41:31.239 --> 00:41:33.860
they shouldn't be able regardless of the conference

00:41:33.860 --> 00:41:37.739
the conference is part of the NCAA it's part

00:41:37.739 --> 00:41:42.230
of collegiate athletics right so The NCAA has

00:41:42.230 --> 00:41:45.570
to take a leadership role and bring these guys

00:41:45.570 --> 00:41:50.929
in and say, look, this is no good. SEC, how many?

00:41:51.050 --> 00:41:53.909
20 teams or whatever they've got? That's stupid.

00:41:55.369 --> 00:41:57.269
There should be no conference size more than

00:41:57.269 --> 00:42:04.050
12 teams. Just should not. And to have smaller

00:42:04.050 --> 00:42:06.929
Div1, like your Tulane and your Northern Illinois

00:42:06.929 --> 00:42:09.710
and your Troy and Ohio and all those. they should

00:42:09.710 --> 00:42:13.510
have their own division and their own championship

00:42:13.510 --> 00:42:17.610
should not be in a playoff bracket where they

00:42:17.610 --> 00:42:21.989
do not belong. Right. Just do not. And in the

00:42:21.989 --> 00:42:24.050
same sense, like everything used to be geography

00:42:24.050 --> 00:42:26.929
back in the day. There's Pac -10, Pacific Coast.

00:42:27.610 --> 00:42:31.570
Supposed to be. So USC and UCLA, Washington,

00:42:31.730 --> 00:42:33.170
Oregon, what the hell are you doing in the Big

00:42:33.170 --> 00:42:37.750
Ten? Right. Like it's absolutely crazy and obscene.

00:42:38.030 --> 00:42:41.809
And I don't get it. And as I said, everything

00:42:41.809 --> 00:42:45.409
should be 10 to 12 teams. And I think that would

00:42:45.409 --> 00:42:48.489
make things much more competitive. It will bring

00:42:48.489 --> 00:42:51.469
back the rivalries that people used to enjoy.

00:42:51.610 --> 00:42:54.610
Now it's like, what, we're expecting UCLA versus

00:42:54.610 --> 00:42:58.469
Illinois to be a new rivalry? No. Right. I mean,

00:42:58.989 --> 00:43:01.349
you know, Texas, South Carolina, that's going

00:43:01.349 --> 00:43:06.130
to be... No. Right. What are we doing? So I think...

00:43:06.269 --> 00:43:09.650
As I said, it's got to be blown up. And that

00:43:09.650 --> 00:43:11.610
may be with the creation of two or three new

00:43:11.610 --> 00:43:13.949
conferences. And as I said, like 10 to 12 teams

00:43:13.949 --> 00:43:16.690
per conference, I think that's the way you go.

00:43:17.090 --> 00:43:20.409
And every one of those conference champions is

00:43:20.409 --> 00:43:22.989
in. Right. And if you have eight conferences,

00:43:23.070 --> 00:43:26.130
well, that's eight spots. Now you have four open

00:43:26.130 --> 00:43:28.710
spots. Right. You know, and no conference can

00:43:28.710 --> 00:43:31.610
have more than two. I just it seems balanced.

00:43:31.750 --> 00:43:34.570
It seems fair. You know, Notre Dame's independent.

00:43:34.860 --> 00:43:36.480
and everybody that's in a conference gets their

00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:38.780
panties in a bunch about them. But Notre Dame

00:43:38.780 --> 00:43:42.380
always does its best to have a competitive schedule.

00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:44.480
Right. If a couple teams fall off, that is not

00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:47.179
their fault. They tried to put together a competitive

00:43:47.179 --> 00:43:49.880
schedule. Right. And they play three, four, five

00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:52.579
ranked teams every year, which is no different

00:43:52.579 --> 00:43:56.059
than most other teams. Sure, yeah. And they don't,

00:43:56.440 --> 00:44:01.360
rarely, rarely, super rarely do they play Mississippi

00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:04.780
Valley State or Grambling. Right. They don't.

00:44:05.380 --> 00:44:07.320
But once again, that's why the system's broken,

00:44:08.059 --> 00:44:09.639
because a lot of times Florida State's like,

00:44:09.699 --> 00:44:11.300
okay, cool, we'll play Grambling, because then

00:44:11.300 --> 00:44:13.900
we get to share the TV money with Grambling,

00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:16.000
because otherwise Grambling can't keep their

00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:18.800
sports program going. Right. Well, if that's

00:44:18.800 --> 00:44:21.179
the reason this happens, and those kids at Grambling

00:44:21.179 --> 00:44:23.659
have to get their ass beat for three hours to

00:44:23.659 --> 00:44:26.239
do that, that's messed up. How is that fair to

00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:28.280
those kids? It's not fair to those kids. Right.

00:44:28.739 --> 00:44:30.909
How is that fair to them? to get their ass beat

00:44:30.909 --> 00:44:33.190
up and down the field for three hours. Just to

00:44:33.190 --> 00:44:35.630
be like, oh yay, I'm glad I'm gonna hurt for

00:44:35.630 --> 00:44:37.829
three weeks, now we get to keep the swim team.

00:44:39.010 --> 00:44:44.650
Just obnoxious. Just obnoxious. As I said, until

00:44:44.650 --> 00:44:48.949
the NCAA, how's the best way to put it? Finds

00:44:48.949 --> 00:44:53.670
their set of balls. Sex the fuck up. Until they

00:44:53.670 --> 00:44:57.489
do that, then it's gonna still be broken. I was

00:44:57.489 --> 00:45:01.059
a die -hard college football fan. And I've watched

00:45:01.059 --> 00:45:03.699
almost no bowl games this year. Yeah. I've drifted.

00:45:03.699 --> 00:45:08.639
Oh yeah. I have a really hard time supporting

00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:10.460
something that is broken that they don't give

00:45:10.460 --> 00:45:12.019
a shit about because there's just too much money.

00:45:12.260 --> 00:45:14.500
Right. Right. Fine. Well, you're not getting

00:45:14.500 --> 00:45:17.840
mine. Yeah. That's the way I look at it. So I

00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:20.199
don't know how many of you feel the same way.

00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:22.960
Yeah. Let us know your thoughts on the socials.

00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:26.139
Yeah. Let us know your thoughts. But it's frustrating.

00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:31.289
It's sad. And I guess, well, no, I'll correct

00:45:31.289 --> 00:45:33.070
what I was about to say. I was about to say,

00:45:33.150 --> 00:45:35.650
I can't wait till baseball starts. Even though

00:45:35.650 --> 00:45:38.550
that's a true statement, the Bears are still

00:45:38.550 --> 00:45:41.590
in the playoffs. As are the Broncos. As of today.

00:45:41.969 --> 00:45:45.130
Those are our two favorite teams. So as of now,

00:45:45.789 --> 00:45:47.269
one is the number one seed, one is the number

00:45:47.269 --> 00:45:51.070
two. That makes us happy. Yes. So we'll see how

00:45:51.070 --> 00:45:53.969
that goes. Damn right. Anyway, we're going to

00:45:53.969 --> 00:45:58.809
take a break. after all that and we'll we'll

00:45:58.809 --> 00:46:01.889
be back all right we're back everybody and it

00:46:01.889 --> 00:46:05.650
is time for Carpe Diem that's right you fine

00:46:05.650 --> 00:46:08.369
beautiful people send us your DMS and we read

00:46:08.369 --> 00:46:10.269
them on air and if this is a form of a question

00:46:10.269 --> 00:46:17.170
we might answer it sure we have the capability

00:46:17.170 --> 00:46:21.849
to do so we do we do and quite frankly if you're

00:46:21.849 --> 00:46:26.190
like oh I really wish they would answer my question.

00:46:26.409 --> 00:46:30.010
Gosh, I so dearly want that. How is this going

00:46:30.010 --> 00:46:33.030
to happen? Well, joining your bank account will

00:46:33.030 --> 00:46:36.190
help. Right. Like every Supreme Court justice

00:46:36.190 --> 00:46:39.750
just bribes us. We can be bought. Yeah. Yeah,

00:46:39.750 --> 00:46:40.949
absolutely. We can be bought like the American

00:46:40.949 --> 00:46:45.150
justice system. Yeah. So if some Benjies end

00:46:45.150 --> 00:46:48.309
up in my hand, then I'm going to go, whoa, Aidan,

00:46:48.510 --> 00:46:50.849
check out this awesome question. That's crazy.

00:46:50.969 --> 00:46:53.670
What a crazy, cool question. Capitalism, baby.

00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:59.159
It's fine at its finest. That's how it works

00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:02.559
Alrighty, I'm gonna start with at had enough.

00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:05.719

enough negative adjectives in the English lexicon

00:47:29.179 --> 00:47:33.340
to properly describe this despicable murderous

00:47:33.340 --> 00:47:38.199
behavior. Yeah, one thing that I love and You

00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:42.599

has no fucks to give. Oh, yeah, whether it's

Michigan or whether Chicago at definitely, Minnesota

00:47:47.860 --> 00:47:51.800
When the federal government wants to screw with

us Like they they should just know better right

00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:57.619
there are so many dystopian novels and movies

00:47:57.619 --> 00:48:00.579
We're like the freestanding society is always

00:48:00.579 --> 00:48:02.760
based in Chicago, and that's like for a reason

00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:06.280
right yeah, we're not messing with these crazy

00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:10.099
motherfuckers because and So today I heard a

00:48:10.099 --> 00:48:14.480
bunch of protesters showed up in Jack boots blue

00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:17.840
jeans flak jackets Yeah, just like the ice guy.

00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:21.489
Oh, it's funny literally cosplaying them and

00:48:21.489 --> 00:48:25.769
they have apparently they have very friendly

00:48:25.769 --> 00:48:29.510
oh god what do they call it to be able to carry

00:48:29.510 --> 00:48:33.710

00:48:33.710 --> 00:48:36.010
they're very friendly open carry so showing up

with their ars and they're showing up with everything

00:48:37.750 --> 00:48:41.550
else and it's like well now now you've done fucked

00:48:41.550 --> 00:48:44.730
up now now you've pissed off people enough oh

00:48:44.730 --> 00:48:47.130
my goodness am i actually seeing for the first

00:48:47.130 --> 00:48:50.369
time in my life the second amendment at work

00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:53.179
Being used as it was intended. As it was written.

00:48:53.460 --> 00:48:55.780
Right. How about that? That's amazing. A tyrannical

00:48:55.780 --> 00:48:58.500
government. Yeah. I remember that being in the

00:48:58.500 --> 00:49:00.920
fucking amendment. Yeah, how about that? That's

00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:02.980
amazing how that works. That you're gonna have

00:49:02.980 --> 00:49:04.980
hundreds if not thousands of protesters showing

00:49:04.980 --> 00:49:07.460
up and it's like, oh wait. Now they look like

00:49:07.460 --> 00:49:11.320
a malo - oh. A well -regulated militia. Oh my

00:49:11.320 --> 00:49:13.599
goodness. How about that. I'm gonna stop cosplaying

00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:15.739
this. I'm just gonna - I'm gonna go back to working

00:49:15.739 --> 00:49:18.300
at the gas station. Right. And whatever. Fucking

00:49:18.300 --> 00:49:23.150
tools. Yeah, America might be gone. I'm gonna

00:49:23.150 --> 00:49:26.030
give them two years and it may be over before

00:49:26.030 --> 00:49:29.010
then but I'm gonna give them two years To set

00:49:29.010 --> 00:49:31.809
this straight. We may have to do our part. Whatever

00:49:31.809 --> 00:49:34.170
that means, right? I leave it up to you to figure

00:49:34.170 --> 00:49:40.969
that out and Hey, all I know is Do do I have

00:49:40.969 --> 00:49:44.610
switchblades in my truck? I do do I have a golf

00:49:44.610 --> 00:49:46.929
club in my truck? I do do I have a baseball bat

00:49:46.929 --> 00:49:49.590
in my truck? I do I know bringing those to a

00:49:49.590 --> 00:49:51.949
gunfight's probably not gonna help. But they

00:49:51.949 --> 00:49:54.110
gotta get their shot off faster than I swing

00:49:54.110 --> 00:49:56.710
a bat. Right. And I swing a mighty bat. Yep.

00:49:57.449 --> 00:50:01.489
So that's all I'm gonna say. At Gerbilman. Gerbilman!

00:50:02.289 --> 00:50:06.869
Gerbilman! Sup, Mark Mosho. I love gerbils. No,

00:50:06.909 --> 00:50:10.489
really. Really. They are my favorite. I have

00:50:10.489 --> 00:50:13.670
23 of them. That's a lot of gerbils. I know them

00:50:13.670 --> 00:50:16.769
well and have named all of them. Damn! Some of

00:50:16.769 --> 00:50:19.150
my friends think it is weird. Do you think it

00:50:19.150 --> 00:50:21.489
is weird to own gerbils or other animals that

00:50:21.489 --> 00:50:25.469
aren't dogs or cats? I'll start off by saying

00:50:25.469 --> 00:50:31.570
no. Like exotic animals or illegal to own animals,

00:50:32.309 --> 00:50:36.150
near extinct animals, I would argue. Let them

00:50:36.150 --> 00:50:39.030
be in the wild. Let the scientists try and help

00:50:39.030 --> 00:50:41.789
them the best they can. Right. Gerbils? Cats?

00:50:41.909 --> 00:50:45.500
Dogs? I mean, there's a lot of... Animals that

00:50:45.500 --> 00:50:48.900
are legal and ethical to own and and and give

00:50:48.900 --> 00:50:53.500
your love to and your attention to To have here's

00:50:53.500 --> 00:50:57.960
my here's the caveat to have 23 of them That's

00:50:57.960 --> 00:51:01.159
that's a bit much. I would say if you're happy

00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:05.519
and Your pets are happy then that that is a matter

00:51:05.519 --> 00:51:08.780
of personal taste and you should not take my

00:51:08.780 --> 00:51:12.869
words as gospel They're under my roof. There

00:51:12.869 --> 00:51:15.869
are seven pets and that's that's too much for

00:51:15.869 --> 00:51:19.050
me But luckily for me my partner can can handle

00:51:19.050 --> 00:51:23.210
that. So I just I Pet whoever's around me and

00:51:23.210 --> 00:51:27.690
that's that 23 is a lot man 23 is a lot if you're

00:51:27.690 --> 00:51:30.610
happy and they're happy then fantastic gerbils

00:51:30.610 --> 00:51:33.010
are gerbils I mean, I think they're part of the

00:51:33.010 --> 00:51:36.010
rodent family. So Yeah, they they're probably

00:51:36.010 --> 00:51:38.530
playful little tiny guys that like to poop a

00:51:38.530 --> 00:51:41.940
lot. That's my guess So, I mean, God bless you,

00:51:41.980 --> 00:51:44.320
Gerbilman. Yeah. That's all I have to say. No

00:51:44.320 --> 00:51:49.000
doubt. God bless you. What's your take on 23

00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:52.199
Pets? Did I cover the basics or do you differ?

00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:56.260
I'm glad you handled that. Okay. I had no idea

00:51:56.260 --> 00:51:59.760
where I was going with Gerbilman. I really didn't.

00:51:59.980 --> 00:52:04.900
Would you maybe have been a little less understanding?

00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:08.500
Well, Gerbil's maybe not your thing. I'm not

00:52:08.500 --> 00:52:11.440
going to judge. I mean, I could. You're not a

00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:13.860
gerbil man, per se. Nope, and I have not been

00:52:13.860 --> 00:52:16.340
paid for my judgeship, so. We've not been paid

00:52:16.340 --> 00:52:19.139
by Big Gerbil to approve this statement. That

00:52:19.139 --> 00:52:22.800
is correct. Big Gerbil. With all the problems

00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:25.539
in this world, owning 23 gerbils is not high

00:52:25.539 --> 00:52:27.880
on my list. If it makes you happy, dude, whatever,

00:52:27.940 --> 00:52:31.860
just keep them out of your anus. Oh no. Just

00:52:31.860 --> 00:52:35.820
saying. Maybe that's not a thing. He's the pee

00:52:35.820 --> 00:52:39.679
-pee -poop -a -man. Yeah, well, could be. At

00:52:39.679 --> 00:52:43.260
honey baby girl 22. Hi mark mo show. I have a

00:52:43.260 --> 00:52:46.059
guy friend who's 33. He's dating a 50 year old

00:52:46.059 --> 00:52:48.880
woman I am 27 and think about going on a date

00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:52.019
with this hot 44 year old guy about my sister

00:52:52.019 --> 00:52:54.119
thinks it's weird But I think she's a bitter

00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:59.599
lonely bitch These Boy these guys really match

00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:02.079
the vibe of the show today. Do you see anything

00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:05.500
wrong with it? The only thing I see wrong is

00:53:05.500 --> 00:53:10.460
interfamilial turmoil. That is apparent. I think

00:53:10.460 --> 00:53:14.000
everyone here is a grown -ass adult who can think

00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:16.880
for themselves. And if you make each other happy,

00:53:16.900 --> 00:53:21.599
great. Right. The thing that, especially about

00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:27.380
the age debate in relationships, is I think approximately

00:53:27.380 --> 00:53:33.199
age 25 is the age of full mental maturity. in

00:53:33.199 --> 00:53:37.340
adult human beings. Anything above age 25, that's

00:53:37.340 --> 00:53:42.159
fair game. You do what you want to do. My hang

00:53:42.159 --> 00:53:45.980
-up is I don't know if that would be me. I think

00:53:45.980 --> 00:53:49.980
I don't know how, if I were to date older, which

00:53:49.980 --> 00:53:53.019
of course I'm a taken man, so these are all hypotheticals,

00:53:53.019 --> 00:53:56.159
but if I were to date older, how much do I really

00:53:56.159 --> 00:54:01.409
have in common? as a 26 -year -old man, how much

00:54:01.409 --> 00:54:03.329
do I have in common with a 50 -year -old woman?

00:54:03.630 --> 00:54:07.769
Right. How much life experience or interests

00:54:07.769 --> 00:54:12.289
do we legitimately share? Right. And that opinion

00:54:12.289 --> 00:54:15.369
may vary. Sure. Depending on if you were single

00:54:15.369 --> 00:54:17.329
and you were out there and maybe you're dating

00:54:17.329 --> 00:54:20.789
20 -year -olds and you're just like, oh my god,

00:54:20.909 --> 00:54:22.929
you know, either it's a maturity thing or it's

00:54:22.929 --> 00:54:25.570
whatever, but just say it bugs you. Now, all

00:54:25.570 --> 00:54:27.099
of a sudden, you might be like, Maybe I look

00:54:27.099 --> 00:54:29.159
a little bit older. Sure. You have to look into

00:54:29.159 --> 00:54:31.820
the 30s. Yeah. And be like, hey, you know, here's

00:54:31.820 --> 00:54:33.119
someone who's a little bit more mature. They've

00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:35.760
lived some life. Maybe this is the way to go.

00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:38.000
Right. It could loop back to Gerbil man being

00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:41.880
just a discussion of taste. Yep. Oh, yeah. The

00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:46.539
issue I take is the Leonardo DiCaprio's of the

00:54:46.539 --> 00:54:49.400
world. Right. Where you're a 50 or 60 something

00:54:49.400 --> 00:54:52.519
year old man that only dates 19 or 20 year olds.

00:54:53.789 --> 00:54:58.269
Now, by law, that's not predatory. Correct. But

00:54:58.269 --> 00:55:01.690
in my opinion, I find that to be in poor taste.

00:55:01.929 --> 00:55:05.170
Sure. Because those are not mentally mature women.

00:55:05.550 --> 00:55:09.230
Women, rather. Yeah. That's where I draw the

00:55:09.230 --> 00:55:12.329
line as like, okay, you're in your 40s, 50s,

00:55:12.449 --> 00:55:17.110
60s. Anything below 25, I would add a question

00:55:17.110 --> 00:55:18.969
mark. Put a question mark there. I'd put a question

00:55:18.969 --> 00:55:22.260
mark there where it's like... What are we doing?

00:55:22.539 --> 00:55:25.940
What are we doing, boys? What are we doing? I

00:55:25.940 --> 00:55:29.000
mean, we're all consenting adults here, but I

00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:32.159
have questions about the motive. Sure. Anything

00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:36.159
above 25, do what you're doing. Yeah. That's

00:55:36.159 --> 00:55:39.199
kind of what I think, too. There's both a legal

00:55:39.199 --> 00:55:42.659
and an ethical debate to be had about age, but

00:55:42.659 --> 00:55:46.739
I think post 25 is fair game. Yeah, I think that's

00:55:46.739 --> 00:55:50.150
fair. You know, because I think in my perspective,

00:55:51.750 --> 00:55:55.809
I haven't tried to date a whole lot since being

00:55:55.809 --> 00:55:59.489
single. Tried it a few times here and there with

00:55:59.489 --> 00:56:04.130
people close to my age, with several of those,

00:56:04.269 --> 00:56:07.550
and I have to say, and it's a relatively small

00:56:07.550 --> 00:56:11.090
sample size, so I can't, you know, it's not like

00:56:11.090 --> 00:56:13.230
it's 20 or 30 dates and I have all this data,

00:56:13.230 --> 00:56:17.579
I don't. But for the data I do have, I can say

00:56:17.579 --> 00:56:20.739
that I would rather sit in a dentist chair and

00:56:20.739 --> 00:56:24.280
have my teeth extracted than have to go out with

00:56:24.280 --> 00:56:27.260
another woman in her late 40s or into their 50s

00:56:27.260 --> 00:56:30.699
and hear about 401ks and hear about their arthritis

00:56:30.699 --> 00:56:32.760
and hear about this and hear about that. I'm

00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:35.199
just like, just shoot me in the face right now.

00:56:35.380 --> 00:56:38.380
Just end this right now. Life's got to be more

00:56:38.380 --> 00:56:42.500
fun than that consisting of casual conversation.

00:56:42.500 --> 00:56:44.500
And at heart, that's who I am. I mean, I'm a

00:56:44.500 --> 00:56:48.420
fun dude. I like to go and drink, you know, people,

00:56:49.119 --> 00:56:52.039
I can't say half my age, although I can half

00:56:52.039 --> 00:56:53.900
my age and drink them under the table because

00:56:53.900 --> 00:56:57.119
I have skills. But to be able to go and to play

00:56:57.119 --> 00:56:59.679
darts and to hang out in karaoke and all that

00:56:59.679 --> 00:57:02.559
kind of stuff because like that makes me feel

00:57:02.559 --> 00:57:06.400
alive. It keeps your spirit high. It does in

00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:10.179
a relatively shitty existence in this world right

00:57:10.179 --> 00:57:12.400
now. And you should do the things that make you

00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:15.090
happy. Yeah. And you should be around people

00:57:15.090 --> 00:57:18.170
that make you happy. Not just relationships,

00:57:18.550 --> 00:57:22.829
or as I call them, relationships. But even just

00:57:22.829 --> 00:57:26.989
friendships. You should keep people that match

00:57:26.989 --> 00:57:29.409
your vibe. Sure. And I think that's super important.

00:57:29.690 --> 00:57:32.630
Rather than, oh, I have to date someone that

00:57:32.630 --> 00:57:36.849
is my age. Because then that way, I'm just miserable.

00:57:37.050 --> 00:57:39.530
Right. And what's the point? Now, does that mean

00:57:39.530 --> 00:57:41.349
there isn't someone out there that is my age

00:57:41.349 --> 00:57:44.940
that has? that vibe or likes the same. With the

00:57:44.940 --> 00:57:46.800
shared interests. Shared interests? Yeah. She

00:57:46.800 --> 00:57:48.460
might be out there somewhere. I sure as shit

00:57:48.460 --> 00:57:50.039
haven't found her. Yeah, right. And I'm tired

00:57:50.039 --> 00:57:52.960
of looking, so I'm just gonna have like a bunch

00:57:52.960 --> 00:57:55.699
of friends, which I recommend to you. Stop looking.

00:57:56.300 --> 00:57:58.519
If it happens, it happens. Get yourself a good

00:57:58.519 --> 00:58:00.400
group of friends and enjoy your life. Yeah. That

00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:03.420
is my best suggestion to all of you. Right. That's

00:58:03.420 --> 00:58:07.179
totally a fair point. Last one here, at stonerstanley420,

00:58:07.300 --> 00:58:10.619
our guy. God, what a way to wrap that up. Stan.

00:58:10.980 --> 00:58:14.860
Hey, Momo and Alan. super fun when you do it

00:58:14.860 --> 00:58:22.000
that way oh Stanley my van is so smoky that I

00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:26.320
giggle clearly I lost my vape and I think it

00:58:26.320 --> 00:58:29.900
is that squirrel they are the ones with that

00:58:29.900 --> 00:58:34.340
furry tail yeah thief they are the ones with

00:58:34.340 --> 00:58:39.019
that furry tail yeah that's that's fair and true

00:58:39.019 --> 00:58:45.800
stoner Stanley my guy It's rare. Yeah, I would

00:58:45.800 --> 00:58:51.079
say it's rare when a rodent or Any type of little

00:58:51.079 --> 00:58:56.340
being has the ability to steal a Potentially

00:58:56.340 --> 00:59:00.420
devil's lettuce vape from you. Yeah That that

00:59:00.420 --> 00:59:03.400
requires and then maybe not requires but could

00:59:03.400 --> 00:59:08.519
imply functioning Thumbs right? I would think

00:59:08.519 --> 00:59:10.519
so like raccoons have those little grippers.

00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:12.260
They do and we've we've seen what they do in

00:59:12.260 --> 00:59:16.639
the liquor store and they maybe have fluffy tails

00:59:16.639 --> 00:59:20.039
like he was talking about. Oh, maybe a baby raccoon.

00:59:20.219 --> 00:59:24.059
Can Stan differentiate a squirrel from a raccoon?

00:59:24.820 --> 00:59:28.239
Or is he too - In a smoky van? In his giggly

00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:31.159
smoky van? No, there's no way. I'm thinking a

00:59:31.159 --> 00:59:35.179
raccoon got his little chief juice. That might

00:59:35.179 --> 00:59:38.440
be a good call. Check on that raccoon situation

00:59:38.440 --> 00:59:41.320
there, Stan. I think that is probably in your

00:59:41.320 --> 00:59:44.539
best bet. Do you think Stan's okay? I don't know,

00:59:44.739 --> 00:59:48.079
man. We need to... You know what's crazy? Stan

00:59:48.079 --> 00:59:50.760
might be happier than any of us. I think he is.

00:59:51.619 --> 00:59:55.039
He's off the fucking grid! He's so disconnected

00:59:55.039 --> 00:59:59.059
and high all the time. All the time. I almost

00:59:59.059 --> 01:00:01.800
envy him. I just wonder where he gets his food

01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:04.460
and water from. Right. Well, he lives by the

01:00:04.460 --> 01:00:06.260
river, so he probably just drinks out of the

01:00:06.260 --> 01:00:09.360
damn river. Right. But as far as his food goes,

01:00:09.639 --> 01:00:12.340
I'm going to assume if he catches the squirrel...

01:00:12.340 --> 01:00:14.639
Maybe. I mean, I hear they're high in cholesterol

01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:18.260
from Christmas movies, but... That is true. As

01:00:18.260 --> 01:00:20.679
long as he's a healthy man. Right. Maybe fishes.

01:00:20.780 --> 01:00:23.920
I don't know. God bless his soul. Yeah. Bless

01:00:23.920 --> 01:00:26.219
you, Stan. As you say, he's probably the happiest

01:00:26.219 --> 01:00:29.099
of all of us. Right. Right. And... He's blissfully

01:00:29.099 --> 01:00:33.000
ignorant. Yeah. Oh, no doubt about it. But that's

01:00:33.000 --> 01:00:37.599
the end for my DMs. What do you got? I got DMs

01:00:37.599 --> 01:00:41.159
here. The first one I got from The Doctor Strange.

01:00:43.559 --> 01:00:45.480
Checking in hit me up out of nowhere. I haven't

01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:48.940
talked to him in years. Wow. Hey, it's been a

01:00:48.940 --> 01:00:51.820
slow day. I'll offer you a treat. If you could

01:00:51.820 --> 01:00:56.760
link any two cities permanently with my portals

01:00:56.760 --> 01:01:00.780
for your own personal use, which two cities would

01:01:00.780 --> 01:01:08.639
they be? Wow. That's tough. It's it's like teleportation,

01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:11.599
but you only get two places to work from Yeah,

01:01:11.639 --> 01:01:14.880
man with the blessing. God bless you. Dr. Strange

01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:19.940
Like first thought comes to mind is like my My

01:01:19.940 --> 01:01:22.539
sisters who are in different cities, but the

01:01:22.539 --> 01:01:25.420
problem with that is they're all in different

01:01:25.420 --> 01:01:27.260
cities in different cities How can you pick one

01:01:27.260 --> 01:01:30.699
right? So my next thought is like where would

01:01:30.699 --> 01:01:34.800
I want? to go, to enjoy time, or to visit, that

01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:38.239
I would do such a thing regularly. Like, would

01:01:38.239 --> 01:01:41.579
I connect our current hometown of Valparaiso,

01:01:41.659 --> 01:01:47.480
Indiana with Dublin, Ireland, or, I don't know,

01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:50.539
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, like, put me somewhere

01:01:50.539 --> 01:01:55.340
warm when it's cold here type vibe. That's really

01:01:55.340 --> 01:02:00.880
tough. So, I'm kind of torn. where I'm like,

01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:04.719
I'd love to link my whole family back together

01:02:04.719 --> 01:02:08.019
with these portals, but I only get two. And there's

01:02:08.019 --> 01:02:15.199
one, two, three, four, five cities that the six

01:02:15.199 --> 01:02:20.139
immediate family members live in. So that doesn't

01:02:20.139 --> 01:02:25.260
pan out. I think I would choose to link my hometown

01:02:25.260 --> 01:02:31.809
of Valparaiso with... I'll just say Los Angeles.

01:02:32.590 --> 01:02:35.510
Okay. So when it's 30 degree windchill here,

01:02:35.869 --> 01:02:39.250
I can hop out the portal and just enjoy a beach

01:02:39.250 --> 01:02:41.489
for a little while. There you go. Just enjoy

01:02:41.489 --> 01:02:46.090
the warmth and the LA vibe. Yeah. If I'm having

01:02:46.090 --> 01:02:51.849
a down day here in brutally cold Chicago land.

01:02:52.829 --> 01:02:56.210
I was very tempted to put Dublin as mine. Yeah.

01:02:56.590 --> 01:02:58.889
Cuz I think that'd be pretty great. How's my

01:02:58.889 --> 01:03:01.250
first thought? Yeah, I think that'd be good.

01:03:01.250 --> 01:03:03.849
But like you say at some point You're gonna want

01:03:03.849 --> 01:03:07.309
to break And I I think I would probably pick

01:03:07.309 --> 01:03:10.590
Key West Yeah, because it's kind of out the islands

01:03:10.590 --> 01:03:12.530
even though it's technically part of Florida.

01:03:12.550 --> 01:03:15.650
It's very on Florida like it's more like Caribbean

01:03:15.650 --> 01:03:19.869
Sure, and it's just the vibe is cool And they

01:03:19.869 --> 01:03:21.650
have fun things to do right they got bars They

01:03:21.650 --> 01:03:23.889
got restaurants, but they got the water and they

01:03:23.889 --> 01:03:25.849
got chill parts. So if you just want to go in

01:03:25.849 --> 01:03:28.630
the water or yourself a houseboat or just chill

01:03:28.630 --> 01:03:32.289
by the water for a while. You can do it. So yeah,

01:03:32.289 --> 01:03:33.969
I think I'd probably do that. That's totally

01:03:33.969 --> 01:03:37.829
fair. Yep. Got a DM here from at hung like a

01:03:37.829 --> 01:03:44.010
slider. Well, okay. Questions. Would you prefer

01:03:44.010 --> 01:03:48.150
to get with someone you find super attractive,

01:03:48.269 --> 01:03:52.550
but they smell like garbage juice? Oh. Or get

01:03:52.550 --> 01:03:56.190
with someone that's 100 % not your type. But

01:03:56.190 --> 01:04:00.309
they smell like a lovely bed of roses. Ooh. Now

01:04:00.309 --> 01:04:03.550
I'm a taken man, so this question may be for

01:04:03.550 --> 01:04:05.269
Mark Moe of the Mark Moe Show. Might just be

01:04:05.269 --> 01:04:08.550
for me. Okay, no, that's fine. I would have to

01:04:08.550 --> 01:04:13.989
say, based on movies that I have seen where they

01:04:13.989 --> 01:04:18.130
work on cadavers. Oh yeah! There's shit you can

01:04:18.130 --> 01:04:22.829
rub in your nose and your nostril. Where you

01:04:22.829 --> 01:04:26.849
really can't smell you could dump like duct tape

01:04:26.849 --> 01:04:30.210
but a stick of old spice to your face Pretty

01:04:30.210 --> 01:04:32.710
much like don't mind this baby. It's it's just

01:04:32.710 --> 01:04:35.369
a me thing It's either like this Vic shit, or

01:04:35.369 --> 01:04:37.269
I don't know what it is that they actually put

01:04:37.269 --> 01:04:39.989
up their nose So they cannot smell rub some like

01:04:39.989 --> 01:04:42.610
rotting carcass just rub some like tea tree oil

01:04:42.610 --> 01:04:45.469
on your beard or something your mustache Just

01:04:45.469 --> 01:04:47.610
rub it in there. You know and if they smell like

01:04:47.610 --> 01:04:51.429
10 day old sliders then So be it, I'm not gonna

01:04:51.429 --> 01:04:54.389
know it. Yeah. So you're going with the former.

01:04:54.590 --> 01:04:57.110
I am, because I think there's a solution. There

01:04:57.110 --> 01:05:00.610
is a solution. I totally hear that. Yeah. I think

01:05:00.610 --> 01:05:04.369
what would bother me so much is not that I have

01:05:04.369 --> 01:05:07.630
a good nose, like most of the time I'll, like

01:05:07.630 --> 01:05:09.489
someone around me will be like, oh, you smell

01:05:09.489 --> 01:05:11.949
that weird thing? And I'm like, I didn't, no.

01:05:12.309 --> 01:05:16.230
It's my sinuses or something. My olfactory sensors,

01:05:16.650 --> 01:05:22.059
I might be slightly anosmic, but Scent can be

01:05:22.059 --> 01:05:24.239
so strong, like there's some days, especially

01:05:24.239 --> 01:05:26.800
in the summer, where I get home from work after

01:05:26.800 --> 01:05:29.920
a hot day sweating, taking kegs up and down stairs.

01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:33.179
And I get home and I'm like, wow, I smell like

01:05:33.179 --> 01:05:36.000
fucking garbage. I cannot wait to get in the

01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:38.199
shower and smell like a regular person again.

01:05:39.519 --> 01:05:42.340
And that's such, especially in a situation like

01:05:42.340 --> 01:05:44.340
that, that's such a turn off, where it's like.

01:05:44.400 --> 01:05:47.059
If you smell like dumpster juice, that's a tough

01:05:47.059 --> 01:05:49.039
sell. That is a tough sell. That's a tough sell.

01:05:49.239 --> 01:05:51.860
It doesn't matter if you look like the most gorgeous

01:05:51.860 --> 01:05:54.900
celebrity out there. Yeah. But if you've got

01:05:54.900 --> 01:05:56.960
a solution, then you've got a solution. You do.

01:05:57.280 --> 01:06:01.019
Absolutely, I agree. No doubt. Final DM I received.

01:06:01.760 --> 01:06:07.079
Evil Genie. Again. Checking in. Quote, since

01:06:07.079 --> 01:06:11.239
2026 has been such a shit show so far, I figured

01:06:11.239 --> 01:06:14.099
I'd put my name in the proverbial goblet of fire.

01:06:14.699 --> 01:06:19.579
Do it. I curse you. But it's your choice how.

01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:25.539
Would you rather A. Sweat Dijon mustard. Ooh.

01:06:25.780 --> 01:06:32.420
B. Cry hot sauce. Oh, that's fun. Or C. Piss

01:06:32.420 --> 01:06:38.849
vinegar. You are disturbed man Evil genie has

01:06:38.849 --> 01:06:40.789
been hot and cold. He's like some days. It's

01:06:40.789 --> 01:06:43.829
like hey you want $10 ,000 Yes, and then other

01:06:43.829 --> 01:06:46.070
days. It's like oh you know your peepees gonna

01:06:46.070 --> 01:06:49.230
hurt It's like no, please you know I have to

01:06:49.230 --> 01:06:52.949
be honest I I Be it that I drink beer and eat

01:06:52.949 --> 01:06:56.250
chicken wings on the regular. I probably piss

01:06:56.250 --> 01:07:02.530
vinegar I'll say this I'll say this is that right

01:07:02.530 --> 01:07:06.760
I To be honest, I piss excellence, but if we're

01:07:06.760 --> 01:07:09.639
talking vinegar, pry damn close to it, it's probably

01:07:09.639 --> 01:07:12.199
somewhat toxic. I should probably pee in those

01:07:12.199 --> 01:07:14.659
big barrels and ship them off somewhere. Wouldn't

01:07:14.659 --> 01:07:17.320
it feel like a UTI every time you have to urinate,

01:07:17.519 --> 01:07:20.659
though? Would it be painful? I don't know what

01:07:20.659 --> 01:07:24.079
the urethra is like. I'm not sure. I'm the guy

01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:26.219
that drinks Malort and doesn't flinch. That's

01:07:26.219 --> 01:07:28.679
true, that's true. I probably can handle it.

01:07:28.739 --> 01:07:32.059
I'm guessing. Yeah. So based on the other choices,

01:07:32.059 --> 01:07:34.139
I think I'd have to do that. You're gonna piss

01:07:34.139 --> 01:07:36.719
vinegar. Dude, I'm not gonna smell like I'm a

01:07:36.719 --> 01:07:39.500
dish at a German beer hall. That's true. It's

01:07:39.500 --> 01:07:41.500
like the second it gets warm outside, he's like,

01:07:41.940 --> 01:07:44.619
oh god, why does he smell like Dijon? I'm gonna

01:07:44.619 --> 01:07:48.239
eat his bratwurst, yeah. No fucking way. She's

01:07:48.239 --> 01:07:50.400
gonna be the one putting the Vicks on her nostrils.

01:07:51.340 --> 01:07:56.110
Exactly. Oh jeez, how about you? I... I'm worried.

01:07:56.530 --> 01:07:59.449
I like your thought process of pissing vinegar.

01:07:59.610 --> 01:08:02.110
I just don't know how something so acidic would

01:08:02.110 --> 01:08:05.809
feel coming out of my sensitive parts. Yeah,

01:08:05.829 --> 01:08:10.730
not so bad. First of all, I'm not going to...

01:08:10.730 --> 01:08:13.670
I sweat every day. My job is physically laborious

01:08:13.670 --> 01:08:15.909
and that would be a problem if I sweat and I

01:08:15.909 --> 01:08:20.050
smell like bratwurst. I think cry hot sauce.

01:08:20.689 --> 01:08:24.760
Because it doesn't say... my natural tear production

01:08:24.760 --> 01:08:27.319
to moisten my eyes is hot sauce. Like when I

01:08:27.319 --> 01:08:29.960
cry, it's hot sauce. Which would still sting

01:08:29.960 --> 01:08:34.680
like a bitch. But I cry so rarely. I don't know

01:08:34.680 --> 01:08:38.439
if that's just... I've seen these memes, right?

01:08:38.439 --> 01:08:42.119
That's like, oh, what is it like being an Irishman

01:08:42.119 --> 01:08:44.140
or having Irish heritage? And it's like, well,

01:08:44.460 --> 01:08:46.279
you bottle up all your emotions and you die at

01:08:46.279 --> 01:08:49.079
the age of 55 from a heart attack. Okay, cool.

01:08:49.699 --> 01:08:54.010
Right, it's good times. Epic. But yeah, I cry

01:08:54.010 --> 01:08:57.550
so rarely, where I don't think that would be

01:08:57.550 --> 01:09:01.090
a problem. Yeah. So I think I gotta pick it.

01:09:01.270 --> 01:09:05.090
Yeah, no, that's fair. I can't risk my urethral

01:09:05.090 --> 01:09:08.170
health. No, that's fine. It's not that important.

01:09:08.829 --> 01:09:11.369
It's what they say. It's what they say. No, I

01:09:11.369 --> 01:09:13.369
see that, but then I just think, even if you're

01:09:13.369 --> 01:09:15.909
not a guy that cries a lot, or is in touch with

01:09:15.909 --> 01:09:18.430
their feelings, or you're just a typical Irishman,

01:09:18.449 --> 01:09:22.260
as we've just discussed, On occasion, you still

01:09:22.260 --> 01:09:26.460
sit on your balls. So, you know, those are some

01:09:26.460 --> 01:09:29.319
sensitive guys down there, and I guarantee you,

01:09:30.020 --> 01:09:33.079
if you take a shot there, your eyes are gonna

01:09:33.079 --> 01:09:38.100
squirt. It's just guaranteed. Or if you do what

01:09:38.100 --> 01:09:40.520
I do sometimes, which is you're on your phone,

01:09:40.880 --> 01:09:43.500
you're lying in bed, social media, social media,

01:09:43.619 --> 01:09:47.000
doom scroll, social media, falling. Falling asleep

01:09:47.000 --> 01:09:49.680
falling asleep some Mac your phone hits the bridge

01:09:49.680 --> 01:09:51.920
of your nose. Yep. That is some painful shit

01:09:51.920 --> 01:09:54.720
Oh, yeah, the nose is so sensitive so painful.

01:09:54.779 --> 01:09:57.539
Yeah, and then that's clue like a fuck. I gotta

01:09:57.539 --> 01:09:59.640
go Yeah, that's my phone. Just told me I should

01:09:59.640 --> 01:10:02.720
go to sleep. Yep, but yeah, so I think there's

01:10:02.720 --> 01:10:06.500
still opportunities for you to cry That's true.

01:10:06.680 --> 01:10:09.380
And that is that shit's gonna hurt not from emotional

01:10:09.380 --> 01:10:13.180
pain, but from physical like right? Well, exactly.

01:10:13.600 --> 01:10:15.550
Yeah Yeah, Frank's red hat is coming out your

01:10:15.550 --> 01:10:19.229
eyeballs, man. And then it's like, yeah. And

01:10:19.229 --> 01:10:21.770
then it's like a closed cycle of like, my eyes

01:10:21.770 --> 01:10:24.970
are so painful from the hot sauce that don't

01:10:24.970 --> 01:10:27.810
continue to dry. Exactly. And then you need like

01:10:27.810 --> 01:10:31.170
a professional eye wash. You would. At that point,

01:10:31.329 --> 01:10:34.720
yeah. I think you would. Interesting. Indeed.

01:10:35.140 --> 01:10:36.779
Interesante. Well, that was a very interesting

01:10:36.779 --> 01:10:40.539
DM. All of them were, to be completely honest.

01:10:40.600 --> 01:10:42.260
Sometimes they're off the rails, and that's what

01:10:42.260 --> 01:10:46.720
we like. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so if you have DMs,

01:10:46.840 --> 01:10:49.840
send them our way. We're happy to read them,

01:10:49.840 --> 01:10:52.439
as we just did. And we have a segment called

01:10:52.439 --> 01:10:55.140
The Other Foods. That is where Aidan scours the

01:10:55.140 --> 01:10:57.859
planet, and maybe others. I don't know. And he

01:10:57.859 --> 01:11:01.069
comes up with some of the most disgusting. meals,

01:11:01.210 --> 01:11:03.989
foods, whatever, and shares them with all of

01:11:03.989 --> 01:11:06.149
us fine folks. I would love to know what Aiden

01:11:06.149 --> 01:11:09.069
has come up with this week. I found a North American

01:11:09.069 --> 01:11:12.850
speciality. Ooh, okay, so it's from home. It's

01:11:12.850 --> 01:11:16.029
from home. Gotcha. It's a little thing called

01:11:16.029 --> 01:11:22.310
Rocky Mountain Oysters. Go ahead. As they're

01:11:22.310 --> 01:11:27.010
known in other parts of the North America's Prairie

01:11:27.010 --> 01:11:31.189
Balls. Now you might be thinking, What's a Prairie

01:11:31.189 --> 01:11:35.069
Ball? Well, let me tell you. It's a dish made

01:11:35.069 --> 01:11:40.630
of bull testicles. To put it simply, the organs,

01:11:41.430 --> 01:11:45.010
which is a polite way of saying bull testes,

01:11:45.550 --> 01:11:50.750
are often deep -fried after being skinned. Because,

01:11:50.930 --> 01:11:52.489
of course, you got to skin the testes before

01:11:52.489 --> 01:11:55.449
you fry them. Coated in flour, pepper, salt,

01:11:55.609 --> 01:12:01.260
sometimes pounded flat. Oh, no. Sometimes served

01:12:01.260 --> 01:12:05.399
as an appetizer. Nope. This dish is served in

01:12:05.399 --> 01:12:08.340
parts of Canada where cattle ranching is prevalent

01:12:08.340 --> 01:12:11.720
and castration of young male animals is common.

01:12:12.119 --> 01:12:16.000
Uh -uh. Yeah, they're... That's a nopitizer.

01:12:16.500 --> 01:12:19.960
Another couple terms where these are known by,

01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:25.319
quote, cowboy caviar, Montana tender groins.

01:12:26.819 --> 01:12:32.500
Dusted nuts, swinging beef, or mountain oysters.

01:12:32.819 --> 01:12:37.180
No, this is all of them, no. The dish, purportedly

01:12:37.180 --> 01:12:42.319
cowboy fare, is most commonly found at festivals,

01:12:43.079 --> 01:12:46.640
amongst ranching families, or certain specialty

01:12:46.640 --> 01:12:50.000
eating establishments and bars. They're found

01:12:50.000 --> 01:12:54.739
at public venues sometimes, such as Coors Field.

01:12:54.939 --> 01:12:59.060
or during Rocky Colorado Rockies baseball games,

01:12:59.500 --> 01:13:01.880
which I didn't know and I'm happy never going

01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:06.720
to now. Yep. Oh, yeah. Rocky Mountain Oysters

01:13:06.720 --> 01:13:09.699
are sometimes served, all of these quotes, by

01:13:09.699 --> 01:13:12.500
the way, if anyone's wondering about more information,

01:13:12.960 --> 01:13:15.220
I'm getting all these quotes from the Wikipedia

01:13:15.220 --> 01:13:17.979
page about Rocky Mountain Oysters. So you can

01:13:17.979 --> 01:13:20.619
find more information about these from there.

01:13:21.200 --> 01:13:23.279
Rocky Mountain oysters are sometimes served as

01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:26.039
a prank to those unaware of the origin of these,

01:13:26.039 --> 01:13:28.720
quote, oysters. Uh -uh. Which, by the way, if

01:13:28.720 --> 01:13:30.600
you're my friend and you pull this prank on me,

01:13:30.800 --> 01:13:34.020
you will become, quickly, a former friend. Or

01:13:34.020 --> 01:13:37.460
possibly deceased. Quote. Yeah, possibly deceased.

01:13:38.079 --> 01:13:41.380
Quote, they are considered to be an aphrodisiac

01:13:41.380 --> 01:13:44.680
by many people. Now we'll use other means. Yeah.

01:13:44.920 --> 01:13:49.369
Couldn't be me. Couldn't be me. The primary goal,

01:13:49.949 --> 01:13:52.430
this culinarily speaking, the primary goal of

01:13:52.430 --> 01:13:56.670
the testicle is not necessarily culinary. Castration

01:13:56.670 --> 01:14:01.369
in a veterinary practice and animal husbandry

01:14:01.369 --> 01:14:04.430
is common and serves a variety of purposes, including

01:14:04.430 --> 01:14:08.289
the control of breeding and the growth of skeletal

01:14:08.289 --> 01:14:14.050
muscle suitable for beef. So, there's the scientific

01:14:14.050 --> 01:14:16.840
take on it. But if you eat this shit, you're

01:14:16.840 --> 01:14:20.680
still eating bull balls Right. Yep. Couldn't

01:14:20.680 --> 01:14:26.039
be me I'm safe saying couldn't be me So Rocky

01:14:26.039 --> 01:14:28.399
Mountain oysters, that's your other food for

01:14:28.399 --> 01:14:34.119

guy fry review Now I'm under frozen guy reviews

01:14:58.590 --> 01:15:01.470
have been for some time cuz hey, I'm a single

01:15:01.470 --> 01:15:06.029
guy a Single guy, which means I eat a lot of

01:15:06.029 --> 01:15:08.090
frozen foods because grocery stores does not

01:15:08.090 --> 01:15:10.960
know how to run sales for single people that

01:15:10.960 --> 01:15:13.659
eat smaller portions of things. Yeah. Which is

01:15:13.659 --> 01:15:18.020
kind of stupid, but anyway, I found this, I didn't

01:15:18.020 --> 01:15:19.520
even know this brand was a thing, it's called

01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:24.899
Devour. Whoa. Ooh, Devour. And they had, I don't

01:15:24.899 --> 01:15:27.460
know, they had. Devour I hardly knower. I know,

01:15:27.479 --> 01:15:29.859
right? So there were like six or seven different

01:15:29.859 --> 01:15:34.140
kinds. Six, seven. Oh Jesus, mother, God. You

01:15:34.140 --> 01:15:40.079
keep saying it. Ladies and gentlemen. I don't

01:15:40.079 --> 01:15:42.720
even find the meme funny. I find the fact that

01:15:42.720 --> 01:15:45.420
you don't find it funny funny. I thought it makes

01:15:45.420 --> 01:15:50.460
me angry It makes me angry I don't know if it's

01:15:50.460 --> 01:15:54.340
schadenfreude, but that makes me laugh. I And

01:15:54.340 --> 01:15:58.560
I respect that it's like a total son to do it's

01:15:58.560 --> 01:16:05.520
fair To me I have a vision And this vision is

01:16:05.520 --> 01:16:08.000
something we always used to make fun of and we

01:16:08.000 --> 01:16:10.520
gave it a name and the name is Gamer Kid Tim

01:16:10.520 --> 01:16:13.920
Oh, yeah, so yeah come up with Gamer Kid Tim

01:16:13.920 --> 01:16:16.739
and he say marks and I just play video games

01:16:16.739 --> 01:16:18.159
for ten more minutes. I just wanna play Fortnite

01:16:18.159 --> 01:16:22.680
for a little longer. Hey Jimmy and Billy I snuck

01:16:22.680 --> 01:16:26.279
out of bed to play like I can't stand it Gamer

01:16:26.279 --> 01:16:29.479
Kid Tim is the very definition of 6 -7. Yeah,

01:16:29.479 --> 01:16:32.569
exactly So. I heard the funniest thing playing

01:16:32.569 --> 01:16:35.409
Fortnite. Six seven. Six seven. Hee hee. Hee

01:16:35.409 --> 01:16:37.869
hee. Hee hee. No, no, no. That kid's getting

01:16:37.869 --> 01:16:40.989
drop kicked. That kid's getting disowned. Oh

01:16:40.989 --> 01:16:45.250
yeah. Oh man. Anyway. You're gone? Back to the

01:16:45.250 --> 01:16:48.529
point. So Devour has approximately seven different

01:16:48.529 --> 01:16:51.170
meals. They have many, they have many different

01:16:51.170 --> 01:16:55.680
types. Several. Several. I... picked Cajun -style

01:16:55.680 --> 01:16:58.460
Alfredo with smoked sausage and grilled chicken.

01:16:58.659 --> 01:17:02.279
That sounds wonderful. That shit was fire. Was

01:17:02.279 --> 01:17:05.979
it baller? Dude, I... How was the sauce? Sauce

01:17:05.979 --> 01:17:10.720
is fire. Good. It was so good. Peppers in there,

01:17:11.020 --> 01:17:14.420
little bit of a kick. Like, it was... perfect.

01:17:14.420 --> 01:17:17.479
The pasta was perfect. The chicken was like real

01:17:17.479 --> 01:17:20.800
chunks of real frickin chicken. And the sausage

01:17:20.800 --> 01:17:23.619
was money. I literally I finished it. Number

01:17:23.619 --> 01:17:27.520
one. Once again, the whole idea is not to eat

01:17:27.520 --> 01:17:29.779
this with the assumption you're gonna be hungry

01:17:29.779 --> 01:17:32.420
in two or three hours. Right. Like it was my

01:17:32.420 --> 01:17:35.560
meal. And I knew until the next meal I was good.

01:17:36.159 --> 01:17:39.960
I felt that way. Good. Just eating one. We've

01:17:39.960 --> 01:17:42.399
been through this. There's some brand like Michaelina's

01:17:42.560 --> 01:17:44.399
You gotta put two together to make it a meal.

01:17:44.560 --> 01:17:47.279
It's just kind of the way it works. But when

01:17:47.279 --> 01:17:50.199
you figure in pricing, Michaelina's are what,

01:17:50.319 --> 01:17:52.899
$1 .99 or whatever? So you're still three or

01:17:52.899 --> 01:17:54.920
four bucks for a meal, it's fine. It's fine to

01:17:54.920 --> 01:17:59.619
put two together. This was money. To the point

01:17:59.619 --> 01:18:02.239
where I couldn't get it, like literally, I ran

01:18:02.239 --> 01:18:04.119
to the kitchen, found a piece of bread, came

01:18:04.119 --> 01:18:06.899
in and sopped that shit up. Like that sauce was

01:18:06.899 --> 01:18:10.340
that good? It was that damn good. What's the

01:18:10.340 --> 01:18:13.960
price point on Devour? The price point was four

01:18:13.960 --> 01:18:16.800
bucks. Dude, that's not bad. $3 .89, $3 .99,

01:18:16.979 --> 01:18:19.319
something like that. Shit. Yep. Because usually

01:18:19.319 --> 01:18:21.979
with these, you try and take like price point

01:18:21.979 --> 01:18:27.279
over filling divided by sauce quality. Correct.

01:18:28.439 --> 01:18:31.500
Yeah, because if you have one of the $3 .89 meals,

01:18:31.899 --> 01:18:33.520
but you look at it and you're like, I'm probably

01:18:33.520 --> 01:18:35.479
going to have to put two of those together. Well,

01:18:35.500 --> 01:18:38.199
now you're at eight or nine bucks. Yeah. And

01:18:38.199 --> 01:18:41.329
now it's like... You know now that you're near

01:18:41.329 --> 01:18:44.489
nearing fast food pricing so at that point. It's

01:18:44.489 --> 01:18:46.529
like okay What is it? What's the benefit here,

01:18:46.529 --> 01:18:49.210
right? But if I can spend four bucks and get

01:18:49.210 --> 01:18:51.670
a full meal and get a meal and my belly's happy

01:18:51.670 --> 01:18:54.329
and it tastes good as hell Yeah, I gave it a

01:18:54.329 --> 01:18:58.970
9 -5 Damn give it a 9 -5. I think it's my highest

01:18:58.970 --> 01:19:01.329
that might be the highest yeah, it's all I'm

01:19:01.329 --> 01:19:03.050
gonna put together a spreadsheet just because

01:19:03.050 --> 01:19:06.909
why not And I'm gonna see where they where they

01:19:06.909 --> 01:19:10.130
all rank Because I think that'd be fun to kind

01:19:10.130 --> 01:19:12.369
of go back on and of course so I'm not doing

01:19:12.369 --> 01:19:14.829
things more than once Yeah, yeah, but it was

01:19:14.829 --> 01:19:17.470
so good. That sounds so I can't wait. I can't

01:19:17.470 --> 01:19:20.670
wait I may have another devour in my freezer,

01:19:20.689 --> 01:19:23.609
so I may have to do another one next week But

01:19:23.609 --> 01:19:27.680
it was good damn right so damn good Yeah, so

01:19:27.680 --> 01:19:30.260
we ended all of that craziness on a high note.

01:19:30.260 --> 01:19:32.899
Hell yeah, as we should. As we should. We'll

01:19:32.899 --> 01:19:34.819

to hear your top ten in things to do in Northwest

01:20:04.869 --> 01:20:08.430
Indiana. Now that is where we reside. We are

01:20:08.430 --> 01:20:11.170
in a town called Valparaiso. Northwest Indiana

01:20:11.170 --> 01:20:14.949
is considered Lake Porter and La Porte counties.

01:20:15.590 --> 01:20:18.210
And Lake and Porter are considered Chicagoland

01:20:18.210 --> 01:20:23.329
for anyone curious. Yes they are. This is for

01:20:23.329 --> 01:20:26.329
all of you who may or may not ever come through

01:20:26.329 --> 01:20:27.970
Northwest Indiana. You may if you're going to

01:20:27.970 --> 01:20:31.329
watch the Bears in the future. Suck it, Chicago.

01:20:34.109 --> 01:20:37.489

I'll run my 10 through 2. Best stuff to do in

01:20:40.130 --> 01:20:44.630
Northwest Indiana. Number 10. Deep River Water

01:20:44.630 --> 01:20:46.989
Park. Oh, good one. Missed on that one. Right

01:20:46.989 --> 01:20:53.119
off Route 30. Merriville -ish, Winfield -ish.

01:20:53.479 --> 01:20:55.500
It's not quite Porter County. I believe it's

01:20:55.500 --> 01:20:58.039
Lake County. But it's the closest thing you'll

01:20:58.039 --> 01:21:00.260
get to Six Flags without having to drive all

01:21:00.260 --> 01:21:03.760
the way up to fucking Gurney, Illinois. It's

01:21:03.760 --> 01:21:07.859
a great little park. I have many fond memories

01:21:07.859 --> 01:21:11.199
of going there. Very fun place whether or not

01:21:11.199 --> 01:21:14.640
you're in your teens or 20s or you got kids.

01:21:15.079 --> 01:21:19.000
Great place to go. Number nine, the Region Cat

01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:23.020
Cafe. If you are into cats at all, if you like

01:21:23.020 --> 01:21:26.140
petting tiny little cute animals, and you enjoy

01:21:26.140 --> 01:21:29.140
coffee, it's such a quaint little place. It's

01:21:29.140 --> 01:21:31.699
right in Maryville, once again near Route 30.

01:21:32.539 --> 01:21:36.439

01:21:46.439 --> 01:21:50.899
memories of going to that little park near Deep

01:21:50.899 --> 01:21:53.539
River. I think that's also Lake County. Lake

01:21:53.539 --> 01:21:56.300
County Parks and Rec puts on these shows of people

01:21:56.300 --> 01:22:02.619
playing this 1910s style baseball. The rules

01:22:02.619 --> 01:22:04.239
are a little different from modern baseball.

01:22:04.479 --> 01:22:07.500
They don't wear mitts, but they put on a great

01:22:07.500 --> 01:22:10.420
show, and it's a fun season, and they're all

01:22:10.420 --> 01:22:13.869
wearing old, tiny uniforms and everything. There's

01:22:13.869 --> 01:22:15.890

01:22:15.890 --> 01:22:18.750

the Dunes Pavilion. It's beautiful. It's beautiful.

01:24:16.909 --> 01:24:19.409
I think the only reason it's not higher in my

01:24:19.409 --> 01:24:25.609
list is because of how soured I get due to the

01:24:25.609 --> 01:24:30.300
fact that the local industries pollute the lake

01:24:30.300 --> 01:24:34.060
and kind of befoul the scenery yeah, but it is

01:24:34.060 --> 01:24:38.399

01:26:29.420 --> 01:26:32.319
for the park itself inside the park. It's enough

01:26:32.319 --> 01:26:35.680

Yeah, there we go. I've had that one It's great.

01:26:45.859 --> 01:26:49.819
If you were a fan of beer if you're a fan of

01:26:49.819 --> 01:26:52.890
quite frankly supporting small business, because

01:26:52.890 --> 01:26:55.109
that's really what this is. That's true. A lot

01:26:55.109 --> 01:26:58.310
of dive bars that, you know, they're not, they're

01:26:58.310 --> 01:27:00.350
not your B -Dubs or your Hooters. They're these

01:27:00.350 --> 01:27:03.329
tiny little dive bars in these small towns. Locally

01:27:03.329 --> 01:27:05.609
owned. That probably normally get, you know,

01:27:05.829 --> 01:27:08.109
five to ten people a day, and they're sitting

01:27:08.109 --> 01:27:10.909
in their corner drinking their beer. Right. And

01:27:10.909 --> 01:27:14.689
a bus with 60 people shows up. We bring the party,

01:27:14.710 --> 01:27:17.189
baby. We bring the party. We definitely bring

01:27:17.189 --> 01:27:20.899
the party. Number three, popcorn fest in Valpo.

01:27:21.079 --> 01:27:23.039
There it is. We've been going to this since we

01:27:23.039 --> 01:27:29.810
moved to the region in 2004? 2004, 2005, yeah.

01:27:29.810 --> 01:27:32.210
It was right there. So we've been going ever

01:27:32.210 --> 01:27:37.090
since, and Aidy marched in a couple, and we are

01:27:37.090 --> 01:27:39.409
the voice of Popcorn Fest. Yeah, we've had our

01:27:39.409 --> 01:27:41.670
own booth out there a couple times. Corner speaks

01:27:41.670 --> 01:27:44.829
to me. Yes, the corner, we speak to the corner.

01:27:44.890 --> 01:27:47.470
We do, I'm a peacock, you gotta let me fly. The

01:27:47.470 --> 01:27:49.529
corner, a great track by Common, by the way.

01:27:49.689 --> 01:27:52.909
Ooh, there you go. And number two, the St. Patty's

01:27:52.909 --> 01:27:58.500
Pub Crawl in Crown Point. is so much fun. Aidan

01:27:58.500 --> 01:28:06.779
met one of my friends Gail at 113 North. A lovely

01:28:06.779 --> 01:28:13.119
person. She's great. She is so much fun. There's

01:28:13.119 --> 01:28:24.979
That Bar, Zombie, Tavern, Public, the ramen place

01:28:24.979 --> 01:28:27.859
ramen district oh sure yeah yeah so they're usually

01:28:27.859 --> 01:28:30.060
part of it too which doesn't make sense until

01:28:30.060 --> 01:28:32.140
you get hungry and you're like oh this ramen

01:28:32.140 --> 01:28:35.180
is fire it's kind of genius it really is but

01:28:35.180 --> 01:28:36.619
that patties pub crawl i did that with a friend

01:28:36.619 --> 01:28:38.659
of mine and we just had a great time that's awesome

01:28:38.659 --> 01:28:41.239
it was so great and i'll leave my number one

01:28:41.239 --> 01:28:46.739
my number one is is vague but it's meaningful

01:28:46.739 --> 01:28:52.880
a food tour of Valparaiso and Hammond and Crown

01:28:52.880 --> 01:28:56.560
Point where you just go around and try different

01:28:56.560 --> 01:29:00.640
foods. We might be homers in saying this, but

01:29:00.640 --> 01:29:04.020
it is true that Chicago is the best food city

01:29:04.020 --> 01:29:07.319
in the United States of America. Easily. Easily.

01:29:07.539 --> 01:29:12.979
Without question, undeniable. But fuck if we

01:29:12.979 --> 01:29:16.260
haven't done well in northwest Indiana. We have...

01:29:16.119 --> 01:29:19.779
Italian and French and Mexican cuisines. We've

01:29:19.779 --> 01:29:22.300
got specialty places. We've got Japanese and

01:29:22.300 --> 01:29:26.619
Chinese cuisine. We've So many unique places

01:29:26.619 --> 01:29:30.380
Unique locally owned even unique chains to the

01:29:30.380 --> 01:29:33.439
to the area. Yeah where there's so much food

01:29:33.439 --> 01:29:37.979
to try I mean if if you're visiting Chicago or

01:29:37.979 --> 01:29:40.100
you're driving through Indiana like on your way

01:29:40.100 --> 01:29:43.069
to Chicago Take a day, try a couple different

01:29:43.069 --> 01:29:46.829
spots. Like there's so much to see in each of

01:29:46.829 --> 01:29:48.970
those downtowns. And I only mentioned three cities

01:29:48.970 --> 01:29:51.789
there, but there are a handful of excellent towns

01:29:51.789 --> 01:29:54.630
that have great food around here. Portage has

01:29:54.630 --> 01:29:58.750
a couple good spots. There's just excellent food

01:29:58.750 --> 01:30:01.510
around here. And it's one of the things I've

01:30:01.510 --> 01:30:04.569
been blessed by is not only having two excellent

01:30:04.569 --> 01:30:08.640
parents that cook great food, but also growing

01:30:08.640 --> 01:30:10.920
up my early years in Chicago and then growing

01:30:10.920 --> 01:30:14.680
up my later years here in Valparaiso, where I'm

01:30:14.680 --> 01:30:18.020
also still surrounded by good food. Yes. So I

01:30:18.020 --> 01:30:21.340
would implore anyone in the region or traveling

01:30:21.340 --> 01:30:24.319
through the region, take a little food tour.

01:30:24.760 --> 01:30:28.619
I agree. It's worth it. I definitely agree with

01:30:28.619 --> 01:30:31.340
that. Just to throw a few out there, none of

01:30:31.340 --> 01:30:34.680
these sponsor us in any way, shape or form. If

01:30:34.680 --> 01:30:38.289
you love Italian, there's a place in... Valparaiso

01:30:38.289 --> 01:30:42.489
called Albano's. Nick is a fantastic chef. His

01:30:42.489 --> 01:30:46.649
Italian food is unbelievable. His short rib tortellini

01:30:46.649 --> 01:30:49.710
will blow you away. He's got a lavender cheesecake.

01:30:50.210 --> 01:30:54.069
The guy is, he's a whiz and it's a small place.

01:30:54.329 --> 01:30:55.850
Probably gonna make a reservation. Keep that

01:30:55.850 --> 01:30:58.689
in mind. Right next door. Mediterranean food,

01:30:58.789 --> 01:31:01.970
La Mediterranean. Yeah. Awesome food. I'm not

01:31:01.970 --> 01:31:04.560
a huge hummus guy. Their hummus is awesome. That

01:31:04.560 --> 01:31:08.720
means a lot hummus is awesome So I would recommend

01:31:08.720 --> 01:31:12.840
Those two off the top of my head. I could recommend

01:31:12.840 --> 01:31:16.760
pizza places, but I'm a pizza stop So I won't

01:31:16.760 --> 01:31:20.020
sure Although because well quite frankly if I

01:31:20.020 --> 01:31:21.800
recommend a Pete's place just a Chicago Pete's

01:31:21.800 --> 01:31:23.819
place that's actually that have come to further

01:31:23.819 --> 01:31:26.340
Chicago idea So that's that would be we could

01:31:26.340 --> 01:31:28.399
recommend loom all -notties because they're around,

01:31:28.439 --> 01:31:31.359
but correct. That's not a Valparaiso rights That's

01:31:31.359 --> 01:31:34.539
not a Northwest India loses in Sherriville, and

01:31:34.539 --> 01:31:38.180
I think it's Sherriville Crown Point right and

01:31:38.180 --> 01:31:43.520
also Giordano's Giordano's is in gels is out

01:31:43.520 --> 01:31:46.239
here, but I don't know if that's a Chicago place

01:31:47.079 --> 01:31:50.840
No, that's here. But it's not bad. Good pizza

01:31:50.840 --> 01:31:54.180
nonetheless. You could definitely check that

01:31:54.180 --> 01:31:57.640
out. The Bait Shop is local. That is definitely

01:31:57.640 --> 01:31:58.979
some high -end stuff. You're gonna spend some

01:31:58.979 --> 01:32:00.380
money when you go there, but the food's excellent.

01:32:01.439 --> 01:32:04.100
So yeah, we definitely have places that you should

01:32:04.100 --> 01:32:07.319
most definitely check out. Oh, I was thinking

01:32:07.319 --> 01:32:10.600
about the One Bar. They often have a lot of really

01:32:10.600 --> 01:32:13.539
kind of cool small plate stuff that they circulate

01:32:13.539 --> 01:32:16.689
in and out all the time. They're upstairs. It's

01:32:16.689 --> 01:32:21.310
like a library. A library? Yeah. It's really

01:32:21.310 --> 01:32:25.869
close to Fluid Coffee Shop. Oh, Stax? Stax. Yeah,

01:32:26.109 --> 01:32:28.470
yeah, yeah. Stax. They have a lot of really good

01:32:28.470 --> 01:32:30.729
food there. And quite frankly, if you like dive

01:32:30.729 --> 01:32:33.970
bars, hit up Frank's. Frank's food is low -key

01:32:33.970 --> 01:32:37.329
good. And they have a chef there that puts some

01:32:37.329 --> 01:32:40.630
specials on. And Northside for Detroit style

01:32:40.630 --> 01:32:43.000
pizza. Yeah. Damn right. So there you go. We

01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:44.779
got lots of, like you said, just make a little

01:32:44.779 --> 01:32:47.300
adventure. Little food tour. Yep. Yeah. Northwest

01:32:47.300 --> 01:32:49.060
Indiana holds their own for sure. And you could

01:32:49.060 --> 01:32:52.260
catch a brew on the way. No doubt. My number

01:32:52.260 --> 01:32:55.680
one is the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.

01:32:56.340 --> 01:32:58.220
Really nothing like it finally became a national

01:32:58.220 --> 01:33:00.479
lakeshore. The dunes are... About damn time.

01:33:00.739 --> 01:33:04.380
The dunes are pretty spectacular to see. And,

01:33:04.579 --> 01:33:06.699

01:33:07.220 --> 01:33:09.960

01:34:31.020 --> 01:34:35.119
needs more beer. That's the motto. Yeah, that's

01:34:35.119 --> 01:34:38.840
2026. Hold my beer. And drink it. All of it.

01:34:38.989 --> 01:34:41.949
Damn right. All right, so what is our first beer

01:34:41.949 --> 01:34:45.090
today? Our first beer today comes from Dewclaw

01:34:45.090 --> 01:34:48.090
Brewing Company, which is a regional brewery

01:34:48.090 --> 01:34:51.550
out of New Jersey, believe it or not. This is

01:34:51.550 --> 01:34:57.029
called Sweet Baby Fluffernutter. It is a white

01:34:57.029 --> 01:35:04.359
stout at 6 .2 % ABV, as they claim, quote, From

01:35:04.359 --> 01:35:07.220
lunch hour to happy hour, creamy peanut butter

01:35:07.220 --> 01:35:09.920
and smooth marshmallow come together in a white

01:35:09.920 --> 01:35:13.800
stout to capture the nostalgia of classic fluffernutter

01:35:13.800 --> 01:35:17.920
without the crust. Fluff yeah! Now we'll be the

01:35:17.920 --> 01:35:20.859
judge of that. We're using the untapped app.

01:35:20.899 --> 01:35:24.500
You should be on the radio. I know, right? I

01:35:24.500 --> 01:35:28.739
really dug that. Yeah, put a little, like, zing

01:35:28.739 --> 01:35:32.119
on the voice and it's like, whoa, you might have

01:35:32.119 --> 01:35:34.279
a voice for radio. Pretty great. I think the

01:35:34.279 --> 01:35:35.899
fluffernutter people heard that. They were like,

01:35:35.920 --> 01:35:40.960
wow. I've got a face for radio. We'll be rating

01:35:40.960 --> 01:35:44.560
this on a scale from 0 to 5 on untapped on our

01:35:44.560 --> 01:35:46.500
phones. Not sponsored, but recommended if you

01:35:46.500 --> 01:35:49.979
are a beer aficionado. And we'll give you tasting

01:35:49.979 --> 01:35:53.239
notes, let us know your thoughts, if you're trying

01:35:53.239 --> 01:35:56.699
it at home, and we'll let you know ours on this

01:35:56.699 --> 01:35:59.659
sweet baby fluffernutter. Yes. A sloncha to Mark

01:35:59.659 --> 01:36:04.739
-a -moe. A sloncha. There we go. Man, that smells

01:36:04.739 --> 01:36:06.279
like peanut butter. That smells like a roasty

01:36:06.279 --> 01:36:10.279
peanut butter. Does? Tastes like it, too. Oh,

01:36:10.539 --> 01:36:16.199
damn. That's, you know what? Huh. You know what?

01:36:17.199 --> 01:36:20.739
I disagree with the can. I disagree with the

01:36:20.739 --> 01:36:22.380
can. I disagree with the can. The marshmallow

01:36:22.380 --> 01:36:26.020
is not showing up for me. Not very present. I

01:36:26.020 --> 01:36:30.939
get roasty, malty, beautiful peanut taste in

01:36:30.939 --> 01:36:35.659
my mouth. There's no marshmallow. You could argue,

01:36:36.079 --> 01:36:40.020
if you were a connoisseur, you could argue a

01:36:40.020 --> 01:36:42.779
hint of vanilla. I get the hint of vanilla. It's

01:36:42.779 --> 01:36:45.579
not enough. It's not convincing. Tastes like

01:36:45.579 --> 01:36:47.159
a peanut butter beer. It tastes like a peanut

01:36:47.159 --> 01:36:49.439
butter beer. I'm not getting enough marshmallow

01:36:49.439 --> 01:36:53.819
to confirm or convince my taste buds that it's

01:36:53.819 --> 01:36:57.880
a fluffernutter. If you were to say this is a

01:36:57.880 --> 01:37:00.720
white stout peanut butter, peanut butter white

01:37:00.720 --> 01:37:03.600
stout, I hear you and I appreciate it. Oh, sure.

01:37:03.880 --> 01:37:09.180
But they lied to us. They lied about the marshmallow.

01:37:09.560 --> 01:37:14.670
Yeah. In my opinion. Yeah, no doubt. That's all

01:37:14.670 --> 01:37:17.810
roasty and by the way the roasty notes are I

01:37:17.810 --> 01:37:21.210
would say appreciated Yeah, I like a roasty peanut

01:37:21.210 --> 01:37:24.970
butter. I like a crunchy peanut butter. I Like

01:37:24.970 --> 01:37:29.409
peanut butter to be honest This is not a fluffernutter.

01:37:29.789 --> 01:37:33.430
Nope. There's there's no marshmallow whatever

01:37:33.430 --> 01:37:38.310
Hint, it's like the LaCroix equivalent of vanilla

01:37:38.800 --> 01:37:42.319
Where it's like the essence of what might be

01:37:42.319 --> 01:37:46.359
considered present, right? That's just not enough

01:37:46.359 --> 01:37:48.699
No, and I switched it around my palette a little

01:37:48.699 --> 01:37:50.960
bit to see if a different part of my tongue would

01:37:50.960 --> 01:37:55.079
pick it up But it didn't know no, that's uh That

01:37:55.079 --> 01:38:00.100
is a in my opinion a great Peanut butter white

01:38:00.100 --> 01:38:04.500
stout. That is not a fluffernutter Marshmallow

01:38:04.500 --> 01:38:07.539
we peanut buttery beer. Nope. Nope. I was like

01:38:07.539 --> 01:38:11.380
we We were lied to. Deceived. We were deceived.

01:38:13.060 --> 01:38:15.779
I'm unsure on how to rank this because as a beer

01:38:15.779 --> 01:38:19.979
I enjoy it. It's hitting flavor notes, roasty,

01:38:20.199 --> 01:38:22.680
peanut buttery that I enjoy. But we were lied

01:38:22.680 --> 01:38:26.579
to. And I don't like that. No. I don't like that.

01:38:27.560 --> 01:38:30.739
So should this have been advertised as a peanut

01:38:30.739 --> 01:38:35.100
butter stout, I would like it. Yes. I'd probably

01:38:35.100 --> 01:38:40.079
be in the three range, 325, 35. But unfortunately,

01:38:40.239 --> 01:38:42.300
the Mark Mo Show was lied to on this one. They

01:38:42.300 --> 01:38:46.819
were. I'm taking it down a half point. Okay.

01:38:47.319 --> 01:38:51.119
I'm deducting a half point and I'm going 275

01:38:51.119 --> 01:38:55.060
out of five. Okay. I went with a three. You went

01:38:55.060 --> 01:38:57.579
with a three? Totally fair. Totally fair. We

01:38:57.579 --> 01:39:02.579
were pretty close. It's enjoyable. Definitely

01:39:02.579 --> 01:39:04.659
the peanut butter. Didn't really get a whole

01:39:04.659 --> 01:39:09.619
lot else. Right. And my flavor profiles in the

01:39:09.619 --> 01:39:13.300
app here. In the untapped app. Peanut butter

01:39:13.300 --> 01:39:16.020
and malty. Like those are two things that I really...

01:39:16.020 --> 01:39:18.380
Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kind of picked up. Yeah,

01:39:18.380 --> 01:39:21.560
I got peanut butter, roasty, toasty, and I added

01:39:21.560 --> 01:39:25.819
vanilla. It's there, but it's really muted compared

01:39:25.819 --> 01:39:28.979
to everything else. Yep. I would agree. So, that's

01:39:28.979 --> 01:39:33.779
a 275 and a 3 even, I believe you said. Yeah.

01:39:34.100 --> 01:39:36.479
Yep. That is what I said. And that's coming from

01:39:36.479 --> 01:39:38.979
two people that like stouts. That is correct.

01:39:39.420 --> 01:39:43.640
So, we prefer stouts. So, if it's a stout in

01:39:43.640 --> 01:39:48.520
my fridge, and I have Guinness, and I have Murphy's,

01:39:48.520 --> 01:39:52.180
and I have some other stouts, perhaps, this is

01:39:52.180 --> 01:39:54.199
probably not the first one I'm grabbing. Right.

01:39:54.779 --> 01:39:58.420
And it's not that it's bad. We both ranked it

01:39:58.420 --> 01:40:01.020
above 2 -5, 2 -5 being the middle point. Yep.

01:40:01.399 --> 01:40:06.300
It's the fact it lies. That bugs me. Yeah. Like,

01:40:06.600 --> 01:40:10.960
not so much fluffernutter. No. If you say peanut

01:40:10.960 --> 01:40:13.600
butter stout, I know what I'm expecting. This

01:40:13.600 --> 01:40:17.380
does not hit what was advertised to me. No. And

01:40:17.380 --> 01:40:20.720
quite frankly, they probably should have just

01:40:20.720 --> 01:40:24.060
added some chocolate notes and called it, like,

01:40:24.220 --> 01:40:27.960
peanut butter cup stout. That's genius. I think

01:40:27.960 --> 01:40:29.779
that would have been a better play. That would

01:40:29.779 --> 01:40:35.279
have been a great play. Roasty can affect both

01:40:35.279 --> 01:40:38.340
cocoa flavors and peanut butter flavors. So they

01:40:38.340 --> 01:40:39.899
could have kept the roasty and just put cocoa

01:40:39.899 --> 01:40:43.000
powder in it or something. Correct. Yep, they

01:40:43.000 --> 01:40:45.720
could have done that. Interesante. But we do

01:40:45.720 --> 01:40:47.979
have one more brewski for all the people out

01:40:47.979 --> 01:40:52.060
there. Yeah, let's hit up that second one. Alright,

01:40:52.060 --> 01:40:54.699
so yeah, I guess that brings us to our second

01:40:54.699 --> 01:40:57.920
beer then. And I will have you introduce that

01:40:57.920 --> 01:41:02.720
dude. Pastriarchy. By the way, this is also by

01:41:02.720 --> 01:41:06.640
dewclaw brewing out of New Jersey Pastriarchy,

01:41:06.779 --> 01:41:09.460
I guess is a line that they make which kind of

01:41:09.460 --> 01:41:13.600
a fun name Pastriarchy airplane cookie is the

01:41:13.600 --> 01:41:16.960
name of the beer. It is an Imperial brown ale

01:41:16.960 --> 01:41:21.699
eight and a half percent. Oh All right fairly

01:41:21.699 --> 01:41:26.960
high for a brew ski as they say Thank you for

01:41:26.960 --> 01:41:30.260
choosing Dewclaw Airlines. This Imperial Brown

01:41:30.260 --> 01:41:33.600
Ale takes off with notes of warm cinnamon before

01:41:33.600 --> 01:41:36.319
a smooth landing with a rich toasty notes of

01:41:36.319 --> 01:41:40.500
biscuit malt and molasses. Now sit backs, relax,

01:41:40.979 --> 01:41:45.079
and enjoy that sip. Which will be the judge of

01:41:45.079 --> 01:41:47.859
course. That was such a Mountain Dew promo for

01:41:47.859 --> 01:41:51.539
this. I love that so much. Mount Dew promo. I

01:41:51.539 --> 01:41:54.579
love that so much. That was great. If you want

01:41:54.579 --> 01:41:58.199
to go snowboarding to Mount Everest, drink Mount

01:41:58.199 --> 01:42:02.640
Dew first. Not sponsored. I see. I love that.

01:42:03.380 --> 01:42:06.539
I love that so much. So by the same standard,

01:42:06.739 --> 01:42:09.140
we will be ranking this on a scale from one to

01:42:09.140 --> 01:42:13.480
five. Airplane cookie. Now, when I... Sometimes

01:42:13.480 --> 01:42:16.060
Marc Mosho of the Marc Mosho brings the beers

01:42:16.060 --> 01:42:20.140
for us to try sometimes Aidan Maloney of Aidan

01:42:20.140 --> 01:42:22.439
spelled the right way buys the beers for us to

01:42:22.439 --> 01:42:25.460
try and This week I got these two for us because

01:42:25.460 --> 01:42:27.979
I'm like fuck. It's been a tough week We'll try

01:42:27.979 --> 01:42:30.760
to you do and I doing the Lord's work is when

01:42:30.760 --> 01:42:36.720
I showed this can to Marc Mosho of the Marc Mosho

01:42:36.720 --> 01:42:40.140
We both connected on the fact that airplane cookies

01:42:40.140 --> 01:42:43.579
that molasses see beautiful flavor that you get

01:42:43.579 --> 01:42:46.640
after such a shitty flight and the boarding process

01:42:46.640 --> 01:42:49.979
sucks. It's like, it's the little treat you get

01:42:49.979 --> 01:42:52.720
that's just like, God, that makes me feel so

01:42:52.720 --> 01:42:55.539
good. Hell yeah. And I hope this beer tastes

01:42:55.539 --> 01:42:58.300
so good. I hope so too. We'll give you our flavor

01:42:58.300 --> 01:43:00.600
notes, ranking on a scale from one to five. Another

01:43:00.600 --> 01:43:05.000
sloncha. Another sloncha indeed. Let's eat some

01:43:05.000 --> 01:43:08.539
cookies. Oh, that's full bodied. Okay. That's

01:43:08.539 --> 01:43:13.140
full bodied. I get molasses. I definitely get

01:43:13.140 --> 01:43:18.380
molasses. There's something in there. I've had

01:43:18.380 --> 01:43:21.920
brown ales before. There's something in there

01:43:21.920 --> 01:43:27.880
that's, I don't know if contrasting or conflicting.

01:43:28.119 --> 01:43:31.460
There's something within the brown ale that's

01:43:31.460 --> 01:43:34.600
deferring my palate away from the molasses cookie

01:43:34.600 --> 01:43:41.140
enjoyment. There's something in there. I'm not

01:43:41.140 --> 01:43:45.180
sure it's molasses see and it's it's syrupy.

01:43:45.180 --> 01:43:47.680
It's not thick I mean, it's it's a liquid right

01:43:47.680 --> 01:43:51.079
it comes out of a can sure yeah, but it's syrupy

01:43:51.079 --> 01:43:56.220
and molasses see and then there's some kind of

01:43:56.220 --> 01:43:59.260
Slight I when I say slight I mean slight, but

01:43:59.260 --> 01:44:03.439
it's enough to to affect my palate slight almost

01:44:03.439 --> 01:44:06.319
sour tart kind of background of a brown ale that

01:44:07.199 --> 01:44:10.140
wouldn't have come through should this have been

01:44:10.140 --> 01:44:13.439
a stout or a porter. True, true, I would agree

01:44:13.439 --> 01:44:18.399
with that. Which is, it's my, I like it. I'll

01:44:18.399 --> 01:44:20.579
come back and I say I like it, but there's something

01:44:20.579 --> 01:44:23.659
about the brown ale that's like this should have

01:44:23.659 --> 01:44:28.399
been a stout or a porter where that tart, almost

01:44:28.399 --> 01:44:33.899
sour flavor is... retracting points from what

01:44:33.899 --> 01:44:37.439
would have been a pleasant molasses cookie flavor.

01:44:38.560 --> 01:44:42.000
I'll just be honest because I've done a lot of

01:44:42.000 --> 01:44:45.119
flying in my years and so I've consumed a lot

01:44:45.119 --> 01:44:46.979
of airline cookies which Aidan and I were both

01:44:46.979 --> 01:44:49.739
saying I know they're just shortbread but they're

01:44:49.739 --> 01:44:52.000
so damn good for whatever reason. They're molasses

01:44:52.000 --> 01:44:54.659
-y and it's perfect for being up in the air like

01:44:54.659 --> 01:44:57.800
there's a reason people drink like tomato juice

01:44:57.800 --> 01:45:03.500
or Bloody Mary's on airplanes. It's because Shit

01:45:03.500 --> 01:45:05.739
tastes different when you're up in the air. Yeah,

01:45:05.739 --> 01:45:12.220
things taste different. Yeah and this I'm sorry,

01:45:12.380 --> 01:45:16.220
it might be the fact that we're only 800 feet

01:45:16.220 --> 01:45:20.100
above sea level But it's this this is not hitting

01:45:20.100 --> 01:45:24.119
like an airplane cookie. No to me. I appreciate

01:45:24.119 --> 01:45:26.569
that you said that because I'm not I don't get

01:45:26.569 --> 01:45:32.010
a cookie in that beer at all. I don't. It's an

01:45:32.010 --> 01:45:35.390
ale. Yeah, it's not multi or bready enough or

01:45:35.390 --> 01:45:38.770
molasses -y enough. No. Like even the cookies

01:45:38.770 --> 01:45:42.050
have like a hint of salt that's like, oh, my

01:45:42.050 --> 01:45:45.250
palate's like lighting up on all fronts. Where

01:45:45.250 --> 01:45:48.010
this is just like, you could have just said like,

01:45:48.010 --> 01:45:50.369
hey, this is a tasty brown ale. And I'd have

01:45:50.369 --> 01:45:52.489
been like, yeah, it's a tasty brown ale. Right,

01:45:52.510 --> 01:45:54.210
because that's what I get out of it. It's a brown

01:45:54.210 --> 01:45:57.689
ale. But it's another advertised lie. We were

01:45:57.689 --> 01:46:00.050
told airplane cookie. We're told airplane cookie.

01:46:00.149 --> 01:46:04.649
God damn it. I'm not getting it. I was so hype

01:46:04.649 --> 01:46:08.069
buying these. Oh, I would have been too. From

01:46:08.069 --> 01:46:10.850
stores with my job that I literally deliver to

01:46:10.850 --> 01:46:13.590
when I walk in there afterwards. Weren't you

01:46:13.590 --> 01:46:15.329
here delivering a couple hours ago? I'm like,

01:46:15.329 --> 01:46:18.109
yeah, but I got a job to do Yeah, where's your

01:46:18.109 --> 01:46:21.449
where's your craft beer? So sell me all the craft?

01:46:21.850 --> 01:46:24.989
Yeah, exactly We have tastings to do and they're

01:46:24.989 --> 01:46:28.789
like, oh well, we know about that and I'm like

01:46:28.789 --> 01:46:33.750
well God bless if you guys didn't Misadvertise

01:46:33.750 --> 01:46:36.810
this to me twice. That's what they did and not

01:46:36.810 --> 01:46:41.340
only that dewclaw Misadvertised to us twice Yes.

01:46:41.500 --> 01:46:43.380
Which is bothersome. Not that I want to call

01:46:43.380 --> 01:46:46.140
out Dewclaw. I'm sure there's probably lovely

01:46:46.140 --> 01:46:49.159
people behind their company. Sure. And there's

01:46:49.159 --> 01:46:53.439
skilled brewmasters and everything. But I just...

01:46:53.439 --> 01:46:56.979
Both of these have not hit. No, they didn't.

01:46:57.079 --> 01:47:00.060
I was so hype looking at the labels and neither

01:47:00.060 --> 01:47:05.479
of them have hit. Now, I... Flavor profile, I

01:47:05.479 --> 01:47:07.699
just said Roasty. I don't know what else to give

01:47:07.699 --> 01:47:11.020
it. Some of the ones that they suggest are cinnamon.

01:47:11.020 --> 01:47:14.460
I didn't get that Biscuit II I didn't get that

01:47:14.460 --> 01:47:18.819
no not at all sweet not at all no boozy all beers

01:47:18.819 --> 01:47:24.380
boozy Some more than others, but yeah But yeah,

01:47:24.380 --> 01:47:27.600
I just had Roasty and I will give my score. I

01:47:27.600 --> 01:47:30.399
gave it a two and a half Yeah, I'm I'm I'm right

01:47:30.399 --> 01:47:34.520
there with you I've had beers from Pastry Archie

01:47:34.520 --> 01:47:39.649
before the line that Dewclaw provides, and they've

01:47:39.649 --> 01:47:44.869
been fantastic, but the caveat is they're not

01:47:44.869 --> 01:47:49.550
like brown ales or red ales. They're stouts.

01:47:49.829 --> 01:47:52.569
Yes. I've tried Pastriarchy stouts before, which

01:47:52.569 --> 01:47:55.369
was why I was excited to see what I saw. Yeah.

01:47:55.909 --> 01:47:59.510
This is the first, I believe, ale or brown ale

01:47:59.510 --> 01:48:03.590
I've tried from Pastriarchy. I'm not impressed.

01:48:04.229 --> 01:48:08.310
Nope. I gave it the flavor profile of molasses,

01:48:08.449 --> 01:48:12.850
roasty, and sour, and I gave it a 2 .5. It's

01:48:12.850 --> 01:48:15.210
right down the middle for me. I would not...

01:48:15.210 --> 01:48:17.729
The money I spent on a four -pack of these, I

01:48:17.729 --> 01:48:21.210
would not spend again on a 12 -pack of these.

01:48:21.270 --> 01:48:23.829
Oh, sure. Yeah, I wouldn't. This is... It's not

01:48:23.829 --> 01:48:26.949
it. Nope. That's unfortunate, but as I said,

01:48:27.090 --> 01:48:30.050
it's like... Is it terrible? No. Right. But is

01:48:30.050 --> 01:48:33.520
it as advertised? It's not. Yeah, it's a no,

01:48:33.579 --> 01:48:36.779
twice. It's a no, twice. It's a no, twice. Yeah.

01:48:36.899 --> 01:48:40.199
Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Simon Cowell would not

01:48:40.199 --> 01:48:42.159
send you to Hollywood. Yeah, yeah. It's a no

01:48:42.159 --> 01:48:46.859
from me. It's a no from me. All right. That brings

01:48:46.859 --> 01:48:51.560
us to the World Weird News. And mine, a little

01:48:51.560 --> 01:48:56.159
international flavor to it. Dead Thai woman sent

01:48:56.159 --> 01:49:01.909
to crematorium wakes up in coffin. What? If you

01:49:01.909 --> 01:49:05.229
have you heard the story of why they put originally

01:49:05.229 --> 01:49:11.050
put bells on the toes of like carcasses That's

01:49:11.050 --> 01:49:14.069
where the term dead ringer came from. Oh, no

01:49:14.069 --> 01:49:16.329
way Because if they moved and you heard like

01:49:16.329 --> 01:49:18.470
a ding -ling -ling you like they weren't actually

01:49:18.470 --> 01:49:20.590
dead. They're not they're not dead That's where

01:49:20.590 --> 01:49:23.310
that came from and that just reminded me of that

01:49:23.310 --> 01:49:26.729
fact of like oh my god Dead ringer. She's the

01:49:26.729 --> 01:49:33.159

What rat what rat? Temple near Bangkok said they

01:49:53.979 --> 01:49:56.260
were alerted after they heard knocking from the

01:49:56.260 --> 01:49:58.600
inside of the coffin moments before the cremation.

01:49:59.100 --> 01:50:02.939
Oh no! They almost set this woman on fire. She

01:50:02.939 --> 01:50:05.380
was just like, ting ting ting. Hello? Hello?

01:50:05.880 --> 01:50:09.380
I think I don't where I need to be. Right, exactly.

01:50:09.500 --> 01:50:12.619
Why is it warm? The 65 -year -old had been taken

01:50:12.619 --> 01:50:17.300
to what rat prokong found. You can't keep saying

01:50:17.300 --> 01:50:20.680
that. Hey, just because I can pronounce international

01:50:20.680 --> 01:50:24.279
words. Beautifully. She was taking a what rat?

01:50:25.079 --> 01:50:30.039
What rat? Oh, come on. Whatever, man. Who gives

01:50:30.039 --> 01:50:36.500
a shit? Hey, Buddhist temple. A Buddhist temple.

01:50:37.100 --> 01:50:39.420
The people who are the most chill in all the

01:50:39.420 --> 01:50:42.000
world. And you're like, man, fuck them. What

01:50:42.000 --> 01:50:50.579
rat? Fuck that people. They're the most peaceful

01:50:50.579 --> 01:50:53.020
people in all the world! You're like, man, what

01:50:53.020 --> 01:50:59.890
rap? Fuck them! This bitch almost died! They

01:50:59.890 --> 01:51:03.510
need to be more careful be careful with your

01:51:03.510 --> 01:51:09.689
wording you might end up On the outskirts of

01:51:09.689 --> 01:51:11.710
Bangkok after she appeared to stop breathing

01:51:11.710 --> 01:51:15.069
two days earlier her family had traveled hundreds

01:51:15.069 --> 01:51:18.430
of miles with her body in the coffin and we're

01:51:18.430 --> 01:51:22.810
preparing her to be crazy little did they know

01:51:22.810 --> 01:51:26.520
she was just like god i'm so i'm so i'm so tired

01:51:26.520 --> 01:51:29.880
i'm so sleepy oh god bless this sleep right here

01:51:29.880 --> 01:51:33.119
however moments before the service began a shocked

01:51:33.119 --> 01:51:39.529
temple manager Sudthup said he heard a fake knocking

01:51:39.529 --> 01:51:42.630
coming from inside the coffin. I was a bit surprised,

01:51:42.630 --> 01:51:45.609
so I asked them to open the coffin and everyone

01:51:45.609 --> 01:51:49.470
was startled. No shit. Hey. I saw her opening

01:51:49.470 --> 01:51:51.689
her eyes slightly and knocking on the side of

01:51:51.689 --> 01:51:54.529
the coffin. She must have been knocking for quite

01:51:54.529 --> 01:51:57.829
some time. That's devastating. The cremation

01:51:57.829 --> 01:52:01.470
was due to be live streamed by the temple. What

01:52:01.470 --> 01:52:05.119
the fuck? Yeah, yeah, you can have your peaceful

01:52:05.119 --> 01:52:10.279
people. These fucking Buddhists. I'm telling

01:52:10.279 --> 01:52:13.819
you man, fuck those guys. Thirath, the nation's

01:52:13.819 --> 01:52:16.699
best -selling newspaper, named the woman in question

01:52:16.699 --> 01:52:22.319
as, oh fuck you guys, Shanthra Rat Sakaluku.

01:52:24.100 --> 01:52:26.920
That's the Midwestern pronunciation for you.

01:52:27.100 --> 01:52:30.279
Yeah, whatever. And said she was brought in by

01:52:30.279 --> 01:52:37.539
her brother. Fuck. Mankal Sakaluku. A good friend

01:52:37.539 --> 01:52:39.180
and brother. What's wrong with a good name like

01:52:39.180 --> 01:52:43.899
Steven? What's wrong with a good name like Mankal?

01:52:45.560 --> 01:52:50.500
Fair enough. Besides, he's only Steven when it

01:52:50.500 --> 01:52:53.380
is concerned with my warranty on my car. He only

01:52:53.380 --> 01:52:57.279
put his live sister's... Body in a coffin. It's

01:52:57.279 --> 01:53:00.079
Monk Hall. Hey Monk Hall makes mistakes sometimes.

01:53:00.079 --> 01:53:03.819
The Monk Halls are guilty for Genghis Khan, right?

01:53:03.819 --> 01:53:11.840
Oh for sure The brother said she had been bedridden

01:53:11.840 --> 01:53:14.619
for about two years before health deteriorated

01:53:14.619 --> 01:53:16.920
further and she became unresponsive appearing

01:53:16.920 --> 01:53:20.579
to have stopped breathing according to Mr. Soodthoop

01:53:20.579 --> 01:53:23.760
So the brother placed her in a coffin and drove

01:53:23.760 --> 01:53:26.909
her 300 Did you get doctor's advice or just throw

01:53:26.909 --> 01:53:29.430
her ass in the coffin? Jesus. So the brother

01:53:29.430 --> 01:53:32.609
placed her in a coffin, drove her 300 miles from

01:53:32.609 --> 01:53:37.470
their home in, oh fuck, Phitsanulok province

01:53:37.470 --> 01:53:40.069
in the north of the country to the capital Bangkok.

01:53:40.170 --> 01:53:44.609
I can read that one. The Bangkok - In America,

01:53:44.770 --> 01:53:48.329
we know Bangkok. We know Bangkok. We're familiar

01:53:48.329 --> 01:53:52.329
with that. The Bangkok Post, that's just funny.

01:53:52.869 --> 01:53:57.090
Six -seven, right? Shut up. Bangkok is the six

01:53:57.090 --> 01:53:59.130
-seven of Millennials, I guess. It really is.

01:53:59.130 --> 01:54:01.289
It really is. Reported that the woman's brother

01:54:01.289 --> 01:54:03.930
had been told by local officials that his sister

01:54:03.930 --> 01:54:06.369
had died. That's a shitty local official, though.

01:54:06.369 --> 01:54:09.550
That's a shitty local official. The woman, what

01:54:09.550 --> 01:54:12.369
do you do? Walk up and say, hey, hey, slap, slap.

01:54:12.329 --> 01:54:15.569
Hey, now she's dead now. She dead. I think she

01:54:15.569 --> 01:54:17.529
stopped breathing. I'll take your word for it.

01:54:17.529 --> 01:54:20.409
You damp. Okay sounds good to me heard Let's

01:54:20.409 --> 01:54:23.689
let's set her on fire for the world to see let's

01:54:23.689 --> 01:54:26.149
live stream it. No my think about the views think

01:54:26.149 --> 01:54:32.659
about the views click like Click like on this

01:54:32.659 --> 01:54:37.460
live woman burning The woman had wished to donate

01:54:37.460 --> 01:54:39.939
her organs to well, how the hell she can donate

01:54:39.939 --> 01:54:43.260
a sediment fire That's a fair point because they

01:54:43.260 --> 01:54:45.300
were literally gonna toss her ass in were they

01:54:45.300 --> 01:54:47.479
not in the fire They didn't take her organs at

01:54:47.479 --> 01:54:50.579
the cremation place. I question this The woman

01:54:50.579 --> 01:54:52.600
had wished to donate her organs to a hospital

01:54:52.600 --> 01:54:55.079
in the Thai capital, but her brother was turned

01:54:55.079 --> 01:54:57.899
away as he did not have the relevant paperwork.

01:54:58.260 --> 01:55:01.789
So she couldn't donate the organs. Instead bang

01:55:01.789 --> 01:55:06.050
cock in bang cock Instead he went to the temple

01:55:06.050 --> 01:55:09.510
which offers a free cremation service must be

01:55:09.510 --> 01:55:13.189
nice. Oh, yeah, that's that's bottom of the barrel

01:55:13.189 --> 01:55:18.069
I Couldn't even cremate myself or free. I'd be

01:55:18.069 --> 01:55:19.689
like just put me in a bonfire. They'd be like,

01:55:19.689 --> 01:55:22.869
yeah, that's $10 ,000 Oh, yeah, right after the

01:55:22.869 --> 01:55:24.850
woman was discovered alive. She was assessed

01:55:24.850 --> 01:55:30.149
and sent to Bang Yai Hospital in Thiroth reported

01:55:30.149 --> 01:55:33.449
where she was treated for hypoglycemia. What?

01:55:33.470 --> 01:55:38.489
Before being released back to her brother. Jesus

01:55:38.489 --> 01:55:41.529
Christ. You should have taken her to the hospital

01:55:41.529 --> 01:55:47.359
first. She's like, oh no. It's like, mayhaps

01:55:47.359 --> 01:55:49.420
she stopped breathing. Oh, she must be dead.

01:55:49.579 --> 01:55:51.479
Let's burn her. Let's burn her. It's like, yo,

01:55:51.840 --> 01:55:53.800
and you released her back to the person that

01:55:53.800 --> 01:55:56.119
wanted to burn her without confirming? That wanted

01:55:56.119 --> 01:55:59.359
to burn her. Oh, gosh. Can you imagine? She'd

01:55:59.359 --> 01:56:02.800
have been like, hot, hot. That's just too, that's

01:56:02.800 --> 01:56:06.560
too warm, bro. Oh my God, that's terrible. Is

01:56:06.560 --> 01:56:09.140
that brother, please? She had output glycemia,

01:56:09.199 --> 01:56:15.220
man. We had to set her on fire. Oh my god. Jesus

01:56:15.220 --> 01:56:17.619
Christ. It's one of the better ones we've had.

01:56:17.819 --> 01:56:20.840
Oh, man. Hopefully she has recovered well. I

01:56:20.840 --> 01:56:23.600
hope so. And is stable. No doubt. And keep her

01:56:23.600 --> 01:56:25.460
away from that brother that was just like...

01:56:25.460 --> 01:56:29.720
Bad dude. You know what? Burn her. Right? You

01:56:29.720 --> 01:56:32.460
want to take any vitals or anything? Nah. Just

01:56:32.460 --> 01:56:34.260
burn her. Just burn her. Right now. Just burn

01:56:34.260 --> 01:56:38.500
her. Just burn her. Set her on fire. Jesus. Okay.

01:56:38.500 --> 01:56:41.479
I've got a story. Yes, sir. This one comes out

01:56:41.479 --> 01:56:45.140
of the beautiful country of Germany. Ooh, okay.

01:56:45.899 --> 01:56:49.600
50 sheep escape shepherd. Walk into grocery store.

01:56:51.199 --> 01:56:56.960
That's your headline. I love it. January 9th.

01:56:56.960 --> 01:57:00.689
Very recent story. A flock of about 50 sheep

01:57:00.689 --> 01:57:03.149
escaped from their owner while being herded and

01:57:03.149 --> 01:57:06.869
took a shopping trip to a nearby supermarket

01:57:06.869 --> 01:57:10.250
in Germany. Oh my god. A video taken at the Penny

01:57:10.250 --> 01:57:14.250
