Hey there, everybody. It is season five. It is
episode four. It's called Pump the Breaks, and
this is the Mark Mo Show. I am your host, Mark
Maloney, along with my co -host and my producer,
Aidan Maloney. And by the way, you can find the
Mark Mo Show on all podcast platforms and on
YouTube. Like, subscribe, all that kind of good
stuff. Aidan, how the hell are you, dude? I am
so sleepy. I'm very tired. This cold weather
that we have in the Midwest, US of A right now,
is just brutal. Not a very fun time. So, yeah,
just very tired. Tired of it, but also tired
tired. You know, sleepy tired. Yes. I understand
where you are coming from. Yeah. Although I feel
like mine is for a different reason. I you know
when you're mainlining Jack Daniels and And
the beers are just water at some point you're
like, okay, maybe a break yeah Break been cooking
for a while. Yeah, I mean I've always had a high
tolerance anyway, so it's like Yeah, you know
Maybe try something different. Yeah, maybe try
something different But yeah, shout out to Kast
and Allie and Chelsea and Nick and Dom. Hanging
out with them last night was a great time. Had
an awesome time. And new friend Audrey. She's
super nice. She's super cool. I was in a thrift
shop with my friend Kast yesterday. Actually,
we're at this place in Valparaiso called Allie
Katz, which is kind of a cool little spot. with
a lot of shops in it, independently owned shops
and stuff like that. That kind of a place. And
it was just a lot of cool stuff. And there was
this cheeky looking moon guy, right? It was a
moon, but he kind of looked mischievous with
his eyes kind of looking out the side or whatever.
And I was like, ah, Mr. Moon. And Cass was like,
what did you say? I said, Mr. Moon. She's like,
oh my God, my friend Audrey says the same thing.
So when I saw her last night, she's like, you.
said he was Mr. Moon. I said he is Mr. Moon.
She's like, oh, we are going to be friends. I'm
like, yes. Yes, we are. Mr. Moon. Mr. Moon. Mr.
Moon. That's great. Yeah. So kind of a kooky,
crazy day. But it was actually fun. Took my mind
off a lot of other crazy shit going on in this
world for me right now. So having friends and
finding a good time amidst the Madness, I think
is kind of essential. Paramount, yeah. Or you
just lose your shit. Right. That's not an option.
If I lose my shit, then the world may never be
the same again. At any rate, so Aiden has a gaming
channel called Aiden Spelled The Right Way. PC
gaming content geoguess or poly bridge observation
duty and much much more each and every week So
what what you got coming up? That's a great question.
I've missed a couple uploads now due to the aforementioned
tiredness exhaustion And I'd rather not put out
like half -assed content. You know, if I'm not
at my best, I'll just. Absolutely. 100%. I'll
skip this one. I'll come around when I've got
more energy. So starting next week will be the
return of, of course, more PolyBridge where I'm
doing the low stress challenge instead of the
low budget challenge. Ah. So I'm trying to make
like the strongest bridges I can. And that's,
it's a different kind of challenge and I like
it. I have to use my brain in a different way.
Oh, for sure. Instead of optimizing how little
it costs, maximizing how much it can hold. No
matter what your budget is or whatever, it's
like just making sure that bridge is solid. Right.
Yeah. I like it. That'll be returning in more
poly bridge. I'll return to doing low budget
stuff there as well. and then GeoGuessr as well.
It's just all gonna be fantastic. Oh yeah, for
sure. There's no question. And then, you know,
if you enjoy his gaming there, we have a collab
channel and it used to be something different.
And then we're just sitting around one day, I
think it was just after podcasting, and just
kind of came up with the idea, hey, why don't
we do like a collab, which is kind of our funny
improvisational style that we have here on the
Mark Mo Show, and just having a good time and
making jokes and whatever. But we do it while
we're gaming. So a little bit of kind of the
best of both shows. Right. And we just kind of
bring that together. I think we've had pretty
good response so far, and I hope you guys are
enjoying it for sure. The new one is called A
&M Gaming, and it's a lot of fun, so I hope you
guys like it. It's on YouTube. Now typically,
we play games where we can chit chat while we're
playing. I mean, if it's a game where it's just
too intense and we're really in it. It's not
as rewarding, I suppose, just watching two guys
play a game and not communicating a whole lot.
But we try to find as many games as we can that
aren't quite as intense where we can do that.
So for example, GeoGuessr we do a lot. We do
Observation Duty. That tends to be pretty funny
from time to time, depending on who or what pops
up. Right. But why don't you tell the fine folks
our latest gaming adventure? Our newest series
we started is called Dream Daddy, a dad dating
simulator. It's got the makings to be fantastic.
I think so. It really does. Just the goofy voices
and just... the fact that a father and son are
playing a dating sim and voicing all these characters
and Almost giving them their own silly backstories.
Yeah, and the fact that I let my son play the
role of the dad And I'm playing the role of the
young teenage daughter So just you know kind
of let your minds run wild We're not the greatest
at voices, but we, I think, to be fair, we've
got a few in the chamber, so we're gonna let
those go and we're just gonna kind of run with
some things. Yeah, it's fantastic. A lot of fun.
So that's the series. that we're going to be
running with for at least until we get through
the story, and it'll be very fun. Oh, no doubt.
There's no question. And once again, if you enjoy
our content, like, subscribe, share, all that
kind of good stuff. And before we get started,
sorry, I have to clear my throat a little bit.
Before we get started, I'd like to thank the
supporters of my after hours radio show and WVLP
My very last show was last night. It was Friday
night eight years of radio and Valparaiso I love
music anybody that knows me knows that I love
music listening to new kinds of music sub country
No offense if you love country, I don't. Old
country, Johnny Cash, I'm down, Conway, Twitty,
Alabama. I like all the old stuff that my grandma
used to listen to, I can get down with. Then
it just got poppy and so many other words. Yeah,
and just the messaging. I just didn't like it.
Yeah, the messaging too. Yeah, I just I didn't
really care for this newer brand of country.
Every once in a while you get something decent,
but not. in my opinion, not too often. And yeah,
that and I'm trying to think what else I don't
care for very much. Pretty much just that. I
think I'm usually jazz, I'm open to blues, even
some bluegrass, but that's only because it sounds
like Irish folk music. So I can, you know, country
music, nah, you know, a bluegrass festival. Yeah,
I'll go hang out for that. That sounds fine.
They could be cooking. They could definitely
be cooking for sure. But, you know, anybody who
knows me knows that I love music. So it was from
that perspective, it was kind of a tough thing
to do, but it was time to leave. It was it was
time to go leave WVLP. That was kind of that
was kind of content creation. With the tricycle
or with the with the bike with the training wheels.
Yeah, and those had long been off and Just kind
of like okay. How can I grow? How can I do more?
As being there was just not an option anymore.
I couldn't even use the studio at night. Yeah,
so not that I'm gonna bag on people's decisions
or whatever But the fact you have a show running
on eight years. You can't even get access right.
Yeah was just absolutely So at any rate, it was
time to go. It was definitely time to go. If
certain people don't see the value in community
radio, it's like, why am I putting my energy
into this thing? So I know that we pulled the
Mark Mo show, which was a little bit different
for radio than it is here for this podcast. But
we knew for that show to grow, we had to do this.
so that I feel like that was a good move for
us. And then the radio, once again, like I said,
it was a real bummer, but I feel when the time
comes, and that may be later this spring, maybe
even into the summer, to do internet radio for
it. So once again, not being under the FCC or
rules and regulations of a local community radio
station, to just be able to go on, do what I
want to do, play what I want to play. don't have
to look for radio edits for days on end for different
things and just be able to play my damn music.
And so I'm really looking forward to that. So
all I have to say regarding that is to keep your
eye on the socials. I do have an after hours
Facebook page and then the Maloney Media Instagram
page. You can check one of those two for any
news or updates. So when I get that thing ready
to go again, I will post it there. And hopefully
you guys will follow along and it, who knows,
might even just be easier access for you in many
respects. An exciting change. It is an exciting
change. It is definitely an exciting change.
There was an opportunity back at the community
radio station and I took it. did some sports
for a while, then the sports show became mine,
then it became ours. And then we thought, wow,
we're only capturing a crowd that enjoys sports.
Why don't we diversify a little bit? We'll talk
some sports, but let's talk some other stuff
too. And so we were able to kind of widen our
audience, which is something I wanted to do.
And then furthermore, widening our audience by
taking it to just podcasts. There were steps,
definitely steps to the process. No question.
So at any rate, I hope you like all that we're
doing We do it because we love doing it, you
know, and You know, are we monetized? Yes. Do
we hope someday to make enough where? We could
just do this as a living. Absolutely right. No
questions about that so once again Liking and
sharing and all that good like all that's important
in that that whole thing So, you know if you
guys could do that, that would be amazing So,
last week, we had a conversation about toxic
masculinity, more so in the sports fan base,
right? Because we were kind of living in that
space based on an event that happened to me,
but based on events that happened and so many
sporting events and all that kind of stuff, right?
And so naturally because we were talking about
that, the topic of culture and environment, and
literally like slowing things down came up, right?
That was just kind of part of the broader conversation.
There are a lot of things we cannot control in
our day -to -day lives. And those things don't
demand a lot of our attention because, well,
we can't control them. So why focus that much
on something you cannot control? So there's no
use cluttering up your brain space with so many
things to do and things to think about. It creates
anxiety and tension and into situations that
normally might not be that tense, right? So with
the things we can control, just slow that down
a little bit, you know? At least put your car
in neutral, right? Just kind of slow down a little
bit. We're a culture... of always rushing about
and filling our daily planners with stuff each
and every day. And as important as planners are,
it is as much about leaving blank space as it
is filling with days, events and to -do's. Very
true. So super important. You know, it's just
like, oh my God, we got to do this and do that.
And I'm trying to think of the one. I think Bill
Burr had a comedy bit one time where he was talking
about when both like the man and the woman like
actually both have time off. And the women always
want to fill it with stuff. Let's go to the park.
Let's have a picnic. Oh my brunch. You want to
do brunch? And it's a funny bit. So check it
out if you can. But it's so true. It's just like
stop. We don't really have to fill it with shit.
You want to go to breakfast? Cool. Let's go to
breakfast. Then you know what we're gonna do?
We're going to go home and we're going to get
on the couch and get under the covers and read
a book or watch a movie or just chill the F out.
That is so important. So according to Dr. Jennifer
Kasperi in Psychology Today, actively thinking
about slowing down, think, I'm sorry, think about
actively slowing down. Imagine what it would
look like to slow down. What would you be doing
differently if you were not focused on completing
tasks and allowing yourself to simply to be?
Would you be sitting, drinking a cup of tea,
going for a walk, listening to music? Having
a picture in your mind helps to translate the
picture into action. How about that? If discomfort
arises when thinking about or practicing slowing
down, reframe discomfort as an opportunity. A
chance to challenge unhelpful thoughts and engage
in behaviors that support your wellbeing. A chance
to challenge the notion that you must Prove your
worth. It's easier to believe that you are inherently
worthy as is and don't have to prove your worth
when your behavior supports this belief. So allow
yourself to rest. It is courageous to go against
the internal and cultural messaging that you
must constantly be accomplishing something. I
love that, by the way, when I read that. So true.
It is so true. Be aware of your shoulds. Are
you telling yourself you should be doing something?
Should be checking a task off your to -do list?
Should be doing it all? Shoulds tend to be rigid,
arbitrary, and unrealistic. They set the stage
for self -criticism and a sense of failure. Practice
noticing your shoulds and hold them lightly.
Just because you think you should be doing something
doesn't mean the thought is true or helpful.
And she encourages you to lean into the discomfort
of slowing down and practice it Challenging yourself
to do something differently in the service of
your well -being and expanding your comfort zone
is time well spent very true, it's very true
and it's It almost not that I want to swing this
conversation this way, but it's so Capitalistic
and it's it's the entire hustle culture of corporate
America. If you're not doing something, you're
wasting your time or you're not increasing your
net worth. But it's so important, especially
with free time being so sparse these days with
how much we have to work just to be paycheck
to paycheck and how valuable that free time is
and just taking it as free time. Correct, you
know and just appreciating that you can and Maybe
should not to not to should but you should be
taking it easy yeah for sure and and You know,
there's there's a lot that goes in my life and
and I'm often Pretty transparent and genuine.
I think my listeners like that about me I don't
I don't mind talking about things that are happening
in my world because I figure there's a lot of
people out there that have Equally shitty things
going on or even worse, right? So just talk about
it and I think that's helpful But in in all of
this process like I could be dwelling I could
be dwelling on all these terrible things that
are going on and Trust me. I could be Ukrainian
right now. There's worse things happening and
You know people that live in the Gaza Strip There
are worse things happening to them. So I'm fully
aware That it could be worse. A lot of people
often say it could be worse, right? Yeah, it
could be worse. I could could be mangled under
a train Yeah, I mean it could definitely be worse.
I get that But it's still not great for various
reasons. So right. It doesn't invalidate What
you're going through what you're going through
and so while that's frustrating, depressing,
causes anxiety, all that stuff. Putting this
into practice, especially after I started reading
up on it, when last week I was like, hey, maybe
we should do that next week, talk about it. And
when I started just doing some reading on it,
I'm like, that is so true. So I shouldn't feel
bad if I want to sit on my front porch and have
a beer and watch the world go by for 15 minutes.
I shouldn't feel bad about that. I shouldn't
feel bad. about meeting some friends out for
a couple of beers and playing some darts to clear
my head and to be with people that bring me joy.
Right. Because maybe that's the highlight of
my freaking day. Yeah. And so I think that's
just so important to slow down and enjoy life
because I think there are too many people that
fill that planner. Yeah. They just fill it. Yep.
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. And then at the end
of the day, when there's two or three things
they don't get to, oh my God, I didn't get to
this thing. Oh, I should've. Okay. Oh, well.
Yeah, right. Oh, well. There's tomorrow. You're
gonna go to sleep, right? Yep. You're gonna wake
up in the morning? Yep. New day? Yep. Okay. Then
everything's fine. Right. Everything is fine.
Yeah, and relaxation is resistance. It is. You
know? Don't interact with capitalism. Nope. You
don't have to. You just sit down and chill. There's
so many people that have that mindset that they're
not going and achieving and going and profiting
and going. It's like, look, all right, fine.
If that's you, that's great. If you want to fill
your entire planner and your day and your week
and your month with all that kind of stuff, that's
great. I'm not going to do that. Right. I am
not going to do that. If there are like one or
two things I absolutely have to do in a day,
cool. I'll put them on there. If I get to him
first thing in the morning, cool. If I don't
get to him till one, all right. Right. If I don't
get to it till seven, cool. Don't stress it,
slow down. Yeah. It's not, it's 90 % of things
are not that serious. Right. They're really not.
What's the quote at the end of the Ferris Bueller's
Day Off? You don't start to smell the roses,
you could miss it. Yeah, yeah, if you don't.
Yeah, if you don't stop to... Ah, damn, now I
should... Yeah, I don't know the exact quote.
It's escaping me. Yeah. But yeah, that quote,
exactly. You know, like if you don't stop and
take time to smell the rose or whatever he says,
you just might miss it. And I think... That's
very true. Yeah, you know, you're you're just
gonna you're gonna miss life and in too and it's
like I don't mind putting things in my to -do
list where I can help someone like I feel rewarding
in that Where I can like if I'm doing something
and it makes somebody else's day better or I
can help someone Absolutely, nothing in it for
me. I love doing it. Yeah, I absolutely love
doing it, you know and But that's just who I
am. I think of me last, everybody else before
me. I've always been that way. And as it pertains
to this slowing down method, I think that's just,
that's just part of it. It's like, look, if you're
gonna put a few things on your list for the day,
cool. It doesn't have to be about me. It doesn't
have to be about like, oh, I'm gonna be a better
person today because I did this or this. Nah,
F that. Right. If I did something today and I
made someone smile, I made someone laugh, I was
able to help someone, that's a good day. Right.
That's a good ass day. And that's exactly the
way I look at it. I wish more Americans looked
at it that way. I know there are certain people
that have billies in the bank that don't think
that way and they don't give a shit. Well, you
know, at some point in their life, that's on
them. Yeah. It's not selfish to appreciate your
own free time and me time. 100%. No doubt about
it. But as always, check in on our socials and
if you want to drop any comments or suggestions,
anything, we always take them and we may even
talk about them or read them up. We're not there
yet. Oh, no. No, I'm jumping the gun. jumping
the shark foreshadowing jump jumping well I hope
the mark motion shark yet we'll have to just
do something else at any rate we're gonna take
a quick break and we'll be right back with Carpe
Diem all right we are back for our next segment.
Oh, by the way, the quote that left our brain
space there for a hot second from Ferris Bueller
is, life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop
and look around once in a while, you could miss
it. So that was a quote. Wise point a very wise
point from a very wise man Ferris Bieler That
that was the quote anyway, and you know we are
such professionals here on the Mark Mo show I
literally had a laptop sitting right in front
of me. I'm just like it wasn't until we took
our break while I was like Why didn't I just
take two seconds to pull up Google and look it
up? Fuck it. We'll do it live. We'll do it live
That's funny. All right, we're on to Carpe Diem.
You find folks send us your DMs and we read them
on the air. Because we could, well, no, we don't.
Well, I mean, we care. Do we care? We could care.
We could be influenced to care. We could be influenced
to care and thus read your statement or potentially
answer your question. Right. In theory. In theory.
In practice? Yeah. How can I influence the Mark
Mo Show crew? That's very true. Hmm. And you
know, the other day I had my hand out, just like
my hand open. Okay. And someone dropped something
in it. I said, oh my goodness, what is that?
What could this be? You know, and it looked like
there was a president on it. And it's like this
piece of paper. And I thought, oh my gosh, that's
money. Whoa. That was kind of that, a kind gift
of that person. It was an incredible gift. So,
you know, I look down, Benjamin Franklin looks
up at me, gives me a little wink, and I thought,
can I help you? Yeah, right. Can I answer a question
for you? So do you get it? Just a thought. Do
you get it, folks? It's just a thought. It's
an idea. You could just send us your question
or comment without any said influence. Sure.
And maybe we'll look at it. Yeah. But wouldn't
you feel better knowing that we did look at it?
Right. That something, just a piece of paper,
or a shiny coin. What would Benjamin Franklin
think? Right. Huh? He would think that the turkey
should be our national... Okay, that's a different
conversation. He's a good dude. We eat him on
Thanksgiving. He was a little off on that one.
That's fine. We eat Benjamin Franklin? You don't?
Thanksgiving traditions with the Mark Mo Show
crew. He's quite meaty. Boy, that didn't sound
right either. The fat renders off beautifully.
It really does. It really, really does. All right,
Jesus God, let's get to this thing. Carpe Diem,
I have a few here. First one I have is from at
I am the Minnesota Viking. Uh, we're standing
strong here in minnesota. I can't believe we
feel like we're at war with our own country Maybe
we should leave. Oh canada. Yeah fair point to
make It is kind of insane That that's really
happening. Yeah, like every day people are getting
shot by federal agents Quote unquote federal
agents, right? It's disturbing. It's very disturbing.
I mean if there were ever a better time an argument
for secession from the union This is it. This
is it. Yeah. Hey, the Feds are killing Minnesotan
citizens. That's a problem. Yeah. They actually
pulled a law enforcement officer out of his car,
an actual cop in Minneapolis, an arrest. And
I'm like, what are you, what? That's insane.
That's insane. How every local cop, state cop,
And National Guard, how they're not out there,
protecting the people is beyond me. Right. It's
insane. It's beyond me. Like literally, they
should stand with the people and be like, bring
it. Yeah. Just bring it. I don't get it. You
know, and I was thinking the other night too,
like Midwest. Midwest. That sounds like a really
cool Canadian province. Yeah. Midwest. Midwest
territories. Right, exactly. You know, the territory
of Minnesota. Wisconsin. Right. Illinois. Indiana
probably wouldn't go. Yeah. Northwest Indiana
probably would. I'd like to. I'd like to. Please
take us. If not, it'd be like, uh, we should
move to Illinois. Like, now. Yeah. Could you
imagine if Canada just owned all the land around
Lake Michigan? Oh, that'd be awesome. That'd
be so cool. That'd be great. Oh, by the way,
America, if you want any fresh water... Go fuck
yourself. Yeah, this is the largest area of fresh
water maybe in the world and I hope you don't
have it. Yeah, that's a shame But water wow water
really costs as much as a barrel of oil or more.
Oh, oopsie. Oh no. Yeah. Oh God, you know, I
don't know to tell you a Viking but yeah stay
strong out there stay strong and look I I growing
about the south side of Chicago I Actually, Chicago,
not the suburbs. And they're like, I'm from Chicago.
And they're like out in Payless. It's like, no,
you're in the suburbs. You are no different than
Northwest Indiana. You are in Chicagoland. Yes.
That's what we call it. I grew up in the city,
actually. And you have a different mindset when
you do that. It doesn't mean we're not intelligent.
It doesn't mean that we don't carry ourselves
in proper ways from time to time. You really
can't F around with us either right? So which
is amazing because you really don't see ice operate
too much on the south side of Chicago or the
south suburbs Because they get their ass kicked.
Yeah, there's reason I keep a bat and a blade
in my car Because somebody screws with me. Hey,
you might arrest me You're gonna know you messed
with right right here. You're gonna you're gonna
have some wounds. You're gonna be taking a Louisville
slugger Don't give a shit. Yeah, I don't give
a shit and there's a lot of me out there and
there was a picture the other day of people that
were protesting ice and One guy had a Green Bay
Packer thing out one guy to Vikings thing out
one guy had a bear stand like You know when you
really effed up in life when you have unified
the NFC north against you It just it boggles
my mind. Yeah, really it really does and as as
a It is important to know your first and second
and fourth and fifth amendment rights, as well
as your right to self -defense. Absolutely. You
know, you got the Black Panthers out there organized.
Yeah. As intended. Well regulated. As protected.
Yeah. And they're out there. And so, if you feel
like your rights are being violated and you want
to quote unquote organized, do it. Yeah. Do it.
Just get a friend who's got a farm set up some
target practice learn some basic self -defense
Do all that kind of stuff and firearm safety
firearm safety all that kind of stuff and and
March March right with the Black Panthers. Yeah,
I believe they had What was called the Rainbow
Coalition? And so that was an organization by
the Black Panthers of those that were not african
-american that stand by their cause and fight
for The rights that they knew right? Right. And
so, by all means, stand with them. Yeah. Stand
with them. Say, bring it on. You know? And if
they, hey, if that's how I go down, that's how
I go down. But I will go down in a way that I
can be proud of. Right. I'm fighting for something
that meant something. Yeah. So, I don't know.
Sometimes you like to think that all of the people
that are on the right side of history will always
come out victorious. It doesn't always happen.
But... Doesn't mean you got to bend the knee
either right and you damn right you shouldn't
At Jimmy bag of donuts. Oh my man. I Think we
need a recount my friends. I am certain the Bears
had more points I think the score was rigged
and we should demand a recount or maybe I should
turn off Fox News bear down That's funny Jimmy
That's a good sense of humor despite the loss
right right He's a good lad Think I would recommend
turning off Fox News anyway, but everybody should
do that. Yeah, everybody that is brain rot. Yep
But God bless a good season. Oh, I know right
like it's it's a good season young team you feel
like Good things are coming. Yes, you know, it's
it's it's exciting stuff and you know from a
guy who was playing quarterback was just kind
of like I'm not so sure. Like, I think he could
be good, but I don't know if he's a guy to take
us to that level. And the more you watch him,
and the more you watch him grow, it's like, well...
Well, he might be cooking. Yeah. He might be
cooking. He's also got a good coach now. So...
This is true. Yeah. This is true. And that makes
all the difference in the world when you got
a young quarterback with a lot of talent. If
you don't have the right coach, that dude's gonna
struggle. Yeah. And then once he starts struggling,
he may never get there. And in this case, he's
got the right guy. Yes. It's exciting. At Declan
the Shamrocker. Good name. Hello, Mark and Aidan.
Two months away from the high holidays. What
are some things that you like to do to celebrate?
Oh, I like to drink. Amen, brother. Amen. Irish
coffee, Guinness, Jameson. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Smittix.
Hell, yeah. Fantastic brews. I'm down. And whiskies.
Yeah. And then. Good food good food. Well corned
beef corned beef Little shepherds pie awesome
bangers and mash. Oh my god. I thought about
that the other day I was like, oh man, I wish
there were a proper like Irish Welsh Scottish
English pub around that had bangers and mash.
Oh, yeah, just tear it up. Yep for sure Something
we don't have a lot of here and not in Northwest,
Indiana Northwest, Indiana. No, I think I think
Irish pubs. I think we need to work on that.
Yeah Someone ought to change that. Yeah soon
as my millies start rolling and right I would
definitely open a place like that That'd be a
blast Yeah, I same thing as a and I do the same
stuff. There's a place in Chicago called Kitty
O'Shea's Such a fun place to spend the holidays
great music bagpipers roll through there Can
be a little on the pricey side, but you know
just take your time sip your Guinness You can
always have more Guinness at home. That's true,
but you're just there for the environment Yeah,
for sure, but it's a great place There's a place
in West Lafayette, Indiana. Nine Irish Brothers,
is that what it's called? I believe so, yeah.
Carlos, shout out to you, bro. Introduced us
to that wonderful joint. I've seen it there and
just bypassed it so many times. What a great
pub. Oh, no doubt. No doubt. How we've gone to
all those Purdue Boilermaker names and never
stepped foot in there is beyond me. Then again,
it has not been very frequent that after the
age of 21 we... went to Purdue games. True. Most
Purdue games, I was still a minor when we were
going down there more frequently. Yeah, but you
know, there's good IDs. There's good IDs. I mean,
you know. What was the name on your fake ID?
Yeah, so... It's like my story with something
a drag McQuillen. That's right. It's a bidrag
if you're out there Thank you for your years
of service your soul now I worked at a gas station
over the summer while I was in college and some
guy lost his driver's license and It was relatively
new wasn't gonna expire for a while. I'm like
who that could be gold interesting So I left
it there figuring hey if this guy comes back
I'm not gonna be a douche and just Jack this
thing and we'll leave it in the lost and found
if he comes back You know cool Well, it was there
for like a month, month and a half. And I'm like,
OK, this dude's not coming back. He probably
doesn't know where he lost it. So I took it.
Now mind you, Padraig McQuillen is all of 5 '5",
six inches shorter than I am. Brown curly hair.
I have brown straight hair, very straight hair.
He has brown eyes. I have blue eyes. Look nothing
alike. He worked as a fake ID for two and a half
years. That's awesome It was amazing and the
only thing I would ever do is when I would go
up to the door guy The only thing I could mimic
was the look on his face In the ID and I would
copy that every damn time He just kind of had
this pouting almost like a resting bitch face
really And I just kind of I just kind of made
the look they went in there and they would take
it I'm like every time It just, it worked until
the day before my 21st birthday. I go up to a
place by Loyola University called Hamilton's.
And that was like my regular spot. I was in there
once or twice a week. And so I go in there, door
guy knows me. He's like, hey Maloney, hey, what's
up? So he looks at my ID never ever was an issue.
Yeah, but he knows my birthday's tomorrow He's
like do this a fake ID see tomorrow Maloney.
I was like, oh you dick Like oh you were such
a dick. I'm like you're seriously not letting
me in today. He's like nope. I'm like It's such
a power move it was such a power move he was
just a penis but um, yeah it it worked man, so
Props to bedrag another fellow Irishman somewhere
in Chicago Thank you again for your service last
one at stoner stanley 420 Momo and Alan are the
people that you need to have in your ears Thanks,
Stan. You are always in my ears. I think he just
doesn't take I think we're on loop. I really
do Okay, wait, okay. He says you are always in
my ears What are my ears? Where did you guys
come from? Alan is funny in times Have you seen
that squirrel? Oh my god, dude this squirrel
saga with Stanley We don't even know what kicked
it off. We don't know. We're not even sure if
it's a squirrel We're not even sure it's a squirrel.
Yeah, that is fair. Oh man as far as the questions
about like what are your ears? Brother, that's
too existential for me. It really is. Yeah. It's
like a philosophical query of like, what really
are ears? What really are ears? But trust me,
he's not like that. He's accidentally philosophical.
Yeah, blood's just confused, I think. Oh, he
is. He is. But you know what? It's sub -zero
temperatures and he's in a van, so. I worry about
his health maybe a little bit. Yeah. Well, we
hope he's okay. Because I know when I'm freezing,
like this kind of weather, my brain does slow
down. Oh, yeah. I swear to God. It just, like,
it takes me an extra second to, like, think of
things. Yeah. The brain slows down. You lose
dexterity in your hands. You do? Yeah. It's crazy.
Yep. And for people, people down south, like
Florida and California and, you know, Mexico,
Arizona, whatever, you guys... probably if you're
lifelong people that live there forever, you've
not experienced this. No. There's no cold out
there like Chicago cold. When people are like,
oh my god, it's 40 degrees. It's so cold. I'm
like, no. Yeah. No. I can go outside in just
a hoodie and jeans and 40 degrees. Oh, yeah.
I can do it. Easily. In 20 degrees. Right. Zero
and below. There's nothing like it. Yeah. The
wind coming off the lake. Negative 20 degree.
It was colder today at the beginning of the day.
It was colder today than it was in Antarctic.
Yep. I read that today. That's insane. That's
insane. Checks out. It just makes you kind of
like step out your front door and ask the question,
why am I doing this? Yeah, right. Why am I here?
Step out the door that first inhale like, nope,
not today. Yeah. Yeah. And trust me, there are
a million reasons to not want to be in the state
of Florida. But when I walk out of them because
I live there for a year when I walk out of my
place And it says February 1st and the high is
70 degrees. Oh man You know, I'll just I'll just
I'll put my blinders on to the right because
I am happy and my body is going ha This is so
pleasant for February 1st. Yeah. Oh my god. We
take those dubs Oh, you have to really do. All
right. What do you got for your DMS in? I got
a DM here from at prepper Petey Oh, hey, Petey.
If you had a magical warehouse where nothing
spoils, what would you fill it with to prep for
the end times? Oh. Which could be like in a year.
Yeah, right, right. So... First of all, I want
that magical warehouse. No doubt. I would love
to have that. Oh, yeah. Just like, not even as
a prepper, just to have food not spoil. Yeah.
Guaranteed not spoil? Yeah. I would get like
a couple, well it depends how big the warehouse
is too. But if I forgot the room, I would definitely
get like several IBC totes and just like fill
a couple with water, fill a couple with coffee,
fill a couple with beer. Because all of those
can spoil. I mean water gets bacteria and shit
in there. So yeah, clean water, clean coffee.
Fresh beer. Yes, all of that would be good to
have if it doesn't spoil dude. I'll keep produce
in there True. Yeah, like spinach arugula tomatoes
celery. Yeah, I'm down with that. You gotta load
that up load that up meat Meats various meats.
Yeah meats and cheese's cheese's meats and cheese's
for a clubhouse feast. Yeah Yeah, we would have
to have a lot of that for sure. I would also
Man, I'm loading up. I'm loading up. I'm loading
up on popcorn and yeah Pringles and Cheesy poofs
and she's it's all man. She's da cheese. It's
there. There's your weakness If you're out there,
and you're oh, I don't know say Russian Maybe
you're you're you're a Muslim terrorist or somebody
like that and you ever capture this guy to my
left You don't have to torture him ever no literally
Put a box of Cheez -Its in front of him be like
we want to know and he'll be like, oh cool. Yeah
He's gave me a box of Triscuits. We are now best
friends. You have no idea Yeah him with Cheez
-Its bribe him. Yeah, so I'm thinking like that
gotta have bottles of liquor Oh sure, you know
your your those already kind of don't really
go bad But they don't go bad still got a half
which is amazing. Yeah, it is kind of nice shelf
stable alcohol is a solution Yeah, I would say
like JMo and Tito's and... Or gin in there if
you're feeling frisky. Well, gin. Yeah, I think
gin. I would have to have a metric ton of Diet
Pepsi for sure. Otherwise, my migraines would
kill me. Yeah. So yeah, we would have to do that.
Lots of caffeine. Boy, I don't know. I guess,
well, if it is the end times. Yeah. Not that
it's food, but in the warehouse, I would also
keep like... some sort of like solar panel set
up, a microwave, a stove, a grill. Gotta be able
to cook, yeah. Gotta be able to cook what you
got. I agree with that. And like, other than
that, just throw a mattress in a corner, I don't
care, just so I can crash. I'm fine with that.
A little space heater. And, you know, since we're
having solar panels, and I don't know, maybe
you got some interior lighting, and maybe you
do some interior gardening. Yeah, electric car.
You know, some interior gardening, things with
a few leaves, you know, that can be made into,
I don't know, something that you might put in
a cartridge or a pen. You know? I'm curious.
Because, you know, one cannot live on alcohol
alone. Well. You know, you've got to diversify
a little bit. Yeah, diversify your investments.
For all of those friendly states. But if it's
the end of the world, it's all going to be friendly.
Oh, yeah. They're gonna be dudes that are all
anti -drug and be like, man, I need a token.
Yes, you do. Welcome to our world, finally. Right.
Yeah, jeez. I think we covered it. Yeah. Maybe
like 80 pizzas. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, definitely.
Gotta have some frozen pizzas, some glizzies.
Yeah. Couple dogs. Couple dogs. Brats. Brats.
Oh, yeah. All that. If it doesn't spoil, dude,
I'll just... No. Oh, you gotta add that grill
up in there, too, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's
what I'm saying. Yeah, on wheels, so you can
drag it outside, cook your meat, get inside,
make sure nobody else sees you. Right. Get away.
Get away from my brat. Oh, yeah, and you probably
have to have your gat. Oh, yeah. Gat to protect
your family. Blakka blakka. It's my brat worst.
Protect the brats at all costs. I got another
DM here from one Reginald Schlong. All right,
Reggie. If you could add a zero to any number
in your life, where would you put it? Add a zero?
Yeah. Well, if I did to my bank account, it would
just be zero, zero, zero, zero. Yeah, right.
That isn't going to help too much. A bonus zero,
yes. A bonus zero, fantastic. Let's see. What
would I add a zero to? My first thought is adding
a zero to the perceived and expected sell value
of my house. Oh, my guy. Smart. I think that's
big brain. Smart. Yeah. Because I don't know
where else it would be best applied. Well, I
no longer am a homeowner. I have been. So that
would have been a very good one. I would just
say my car. A value of the car resale value.
Yeah. Because I would cash out on that today
and walk everywhere. Right. I'd walk everywhere
and just become a nomad. Yeah. Yeah, I don't
know where else I would put a zero. It's just
got to be home value, I think. Smart. Yeah. Yeah,
I like that. I could do it for lifespan, but
like, do I really want to live to 700? I don't
know. I don't know. You want to live to 70? Right.
And this economy? Shit. Last DM I got here from
Jumbo Wallace. What's a product? or company you'd
never support or buy from. I haven't bought anything
from Walmart in years. Years. Fuck Walmart. Fuck
Nestle, especially. Fuck Comcast. I'm down with
that one. Yeah. Hmm. Yeah, those are three companies
I don't think - I'm kind of anti -Chipotle right
now, because I heard the CEO donated to ICE.
Oh, fuck that. And it's too bad, because I actually
like Chipotle, but other people make burritos
out of it. Yeah. So I'm a little anti -Chipotle
right now. Amazon, I'm kind of the same thing.
I see so many people, and they just order, and
they order, and they order, and they order. And
I'm like, you know, it's amazing. And I'm going
to go on a rant here, but that's OK. It's my
podcast. It's our podcast. So people for years
order online. And whatever. You order a mug,
it's a mug. Whatever. But then people do it with
shoes, and they do it with clothes, and then
they get the thing, and then it doesn't fit,
so they have to repackage it, and then they gotta
send it back. We had a thing called fucking malls,
man. And you could just get in your car, and
you could drive up there. It's so inconvenient.
So is grabbing your mail and emptying it and
then having to repack it. Right. And now you're
talking days in a process where you could have
just gotten your car, made a day of it, grabbed
lunch with a friend, whatever, go to the store
for whatever you need. Right. And be like, oh,
there it is. Oh, it doesn't fit. Guess what?
You didn't even have to buy it. Yeah, right.
Or you go, oopsie, and then you go back and get
the thing that does fit. And you're like, great.
And you go home with the thing you wanted in
the first place. Right. You don't have to wait
three days for it to ship. I don't. Right. It's
just it doesn't make any sense. And then people
are just like, oh, you know, and it's so inexpensive.
OK, so now you're saving maybe three dollars.
You know, once you count shipping and everything
else, maybe you're saving three, four bucks.
from just getting in your car and driving to
a store. And not even necessarily a mall. Could
just be mom and pop stores too, whatever the
case might be. I'm so anti -buying things online.
I am incredibly anti -buying things online. If
I buy something online, I like you. Because I
do not typically do that. I know I got something
for a friend recently. I think it was for Christmas
and It was a blanket personalized blanket it's
like three by five or however big it was and
it had a picture of her beagles on it and So
like that I'm quite sure I'm not gonna find a
mom and pop for right, right There are certain
things where it makes sense to kind of go online
and find what you're gonna find and and be able
to do something like that You know, otherwise
it's just like Look, I'll just go to a local
shop and I'll pick it up or I'll just give you
a gift card and you can do whatever you want
to do. Right. Right. But every time someone goes
to Amazon, like you you're putting money in the
pocket of a douche bag. Yeah. You have to think
of it that way. So, yeah, I mean, that's that's
my rant. It's just like if you can't avoid shopping
online, please stop. Right. Stop doing it. Especially
Amazon. Right. It's different if you're on Etsy
or Redbubble, where people actually make something.
Right. That is different. That is a very, very
good point. But if it's Amazon, if it's Tmoo,
if it's Alibaba, if it's any of that shit, you're
just like, the dude that owns Alibaba is a billionaire,
billionaire, billionaire, billionaire. I mean,
the dude is ridiculously wealthy. Why are you
doing that? Right. Why are you doing that? Oh,
that's cute. Cool. See what local owner maybe
has that or something similar. Right. Just stop
it. Yeah. Just stop it. Right, the Michael Jordan.
I almost said Michael Jackson. Nah, that would
have been... Stop. Get some help. Stop. Get some
help. Really, people need to do that. Yeah. It's
just out of hand. Any others you got there? That
was my last one I received. Boy, what a grand
slam on the last one, right? Boy, you put the
quarter in me, you get the whole show. Put a
quarter in your ass, because you played yourself.
Because you played yourself. Isn't that the truth?
All right. So before we take our next break,
we have the other foods and the frozen guy review.
Other foods. What now? I guess maybe. I'm assuming
all of you have listened to this show time and
time again. But there might be a noob out there.
Sure. Might be sitting in Russia or the Ukraine.
Might be, you know, hanging out down there in
Kyrgyzstan. We love you, by the way. It could
be anywhere in the world, in the country, whatever.
Malaysia, Japan, yeah. Could be. And maybe they
just don't know that other foods. What are you
talking about? Well, I'll tell you what I'm talking
about. And you're welcome in advance for the
explanation. Damn straight. Usually, you know,
we talked about this, right? Hand, you know,
green paper. Anyway, so, other foods. Aiden scours
the globe. Really, he's got this cute little
globe in his mouth. Scours the globe for food.
Now you're saying whoop -de -doo. Ha! Wrong.
So, what it is, is that he finds these foods
that would make a billy goat... puke, that would
make you say, no, I would rather chug bad milk.
Yeah. And Aiden finds them, and they're bad.
And weird. But mostly bad. Yeah. What do you
got for us today? This one's a mix of both weird
and bad. Oh, here we go. In my humble opinion.
Milt. Uh. Milt. It's one letter away from milk.
What could it be? Milt is the male reproductive
fluid, the sperm, of fish and mollusks. No, no.
Considered a delicacy in many cuisines, particularly
in Asia and Europe, or in Japan where it's known
as shiraku. Oh. Quote, it has a soft, creamy,
and velvety texture, often compared to brains
or a mild cheese. Oh, cheese. Oh, man. Fish jizz
is similar to brains and mild cheese. That's
gross. So the splooge of these fish is prepared
in various ways, such as fried, poached, or served
with pasta, offering a delicate, slightly sweet,
and oceanic flavor. No. No. Oh, man. You put
it in soups and stews? Ah. A traditional Sicilian
topping for pasta. Little fish jizz. Milt. Scrambled
with eggs and cream. No, no. Fried, often lightly
battered, fried and served with sauces like mayonnaise.
Who's out there frying fish jizz? Who thought
to do this? No, no, that's that's that's so wrong.
Who was out there milking the man fish and was
like, oh, let's put this in pasta Who does that?
Who does that? And can you imagine like showing
up at like a fancy Italian restaurant with a
fishbowl with like five goldfish in it and you
just plop down at the table And you're just like,
no, I'll just, just a plain, plain bowl of pasta.
Oh, no marinara. And no, no, just give me the
plain bowl. See this fish here? I'm going to,
I'm going to jerk their shit. I'm going to jerk
their shit all over this pasta. And then I'm
going to eat it. And it's going to be delightful.
Trust me. It tastes like brains. Who does that?
Same people that order off Amazon. Exactly. Exactly.
Oh my God. That's so gross. A little milk for
you today. A little milk. God that is that is
just How's everyone out there feeling you listen
to this during a mealtime or yeah, right? Yeah
chicken milk sandwich Yeah So gross like my milk
poached and fried poached and fried, please or
on a Sicilian I'll bacon and toast and a scrambled
eggs. Make sure you put extra milk this time
a double milked actually Yeah, really just get
both those hands working on those fish managed.
Oh just jizz all over my eggs So gross Shit nasty.
That's absolutely nasty milk milk So, um Boy
how to top how to top that? Yeah, right frozen
guy review. I tried another devour meal uh devour
mac and cheese and bacon so it sounds fantastic
yeah it's a little corkscrew pasta stuff and
um it's in this multi -cheese sauce and then
chunks of bacon. It's chunks of bacon. It's not
like they got the little jar of bacon bits and
just sprinkled it in there. This is like pieces
of bacon and this mac and cheese. And it was
really good. The sauce was not liquidy. It was
actually like a cheese sauce that you would expect
in a mac and cheese. And the bacon was good.
And once again, you know, we We talk about the
quality, but we also talk about the quantity,
because even if something is awesome, and it's
in a tiny little tray, and you pay three bucks
for the tiny little tray, now you're like, well,
shit, to make a meal, now I gotta get two of
them. Now your good meal is now six dollars,
so we kind of try to look at both sides of it
here. There was just enough to make it a meal,
like I was done with it, and I was happy. I think
I had like a piece of bread with it, but it was
like, it was perfectly fine for a meal. You said
price point was about $3, $4? Yeah, the price
point on that I think was like $3 .49. That's
not bad. So if you're doing that and your belly's
happy, then you know. Bring a half bones for
a meal. It's worth it. Yeah. Because I will tell
you this, the last time I had, and I won't name
the restaurant because I used to write restaurant
and bar reviews. And I always said, if I had
something that wasn't good, Or the entire experience
wasn't good, or maybe I had a meal that there
was an issue with yeah I wouldn't write about
it. I wouldn't I wouldn't you know but in this
case I do like this restaurant a lot Italian
beef with a fry and a drink $18 18 fucking dollars
for a meal That's nuts. That's crazy. That is
crazy Because I could go to pops beef and get
that for 12 bucks, right? Walk out there for
12 bucks, have a beef, a fry, and a drink. I
couldn't believe it. That's wild. I could not
believe it. So number one, sadly, we will not
be getting beef from there for a certain period
of time, for sure. Not unless we stumble upon
a lot of spending money. Right. Yeah, exactly.
That money tree that I planted starts growing.
Right. Yeah, but this was really good. I enjoyed
it. As you know, it's like, if it's in the nines,
that's rare air. There's not many in the nines.
I still have to put my Excel sheet together so
I can kind of keep these grades together and
be able to maybe do like a review sometime. That
could be interesting. So this one, just shy of
the nines. And trust me, anything in the eights
is great too. That's like, it's a good meal.
You know, sevens are mid. You know, it's like
it's fine. Yeah. Nothing to write home about.
Anything below seven, there were issues with
it. Yeah. One way or the other. But this, I would
give it an 8 -8. That's pretty solid. An 8 -8.
Yeah, I got to do it. I got to do it. It was
that good. So, that's the second one I've tried
from Devour. I think the other one that I tried,
oh gosh, I can't remember which one it was, but
I think that might have been in the nines. I
think that one was. Yeah. I think there's only
been one or two that have ever hit nine. Yeah,
there aren't many. I think there's two in there
and then there's there's I want to say two or
three that are in the upper eight so Yeah, not
not too bad at all. So, uh, yeah Once again,
if you've had devour mac and cheese with the
bacon Definitely hit me up if you liked it be
great and give me ideas if like I'm doing these
reviews and there's maybe a Fresno meal you love
Send them on over. Yeah, you know, I'll definitely
definitely look at it. All right We're gonna
take a quick break and we come back our feature
segment. You just made the list All right, everybody
we are back hi This is the mark mo show. I'm
your host mark Maloney along with co -host Aidan
Maloney. We're on to our feature segment and
that is You just made the list And we do a top
ten list. Ten through two with our number one
reveal. And we do it on, well, hell, we've done
it on just about everything at this point. Been
doing it for years. Oh, shit, we've been doing
it for quite a while. And, you know, so coming
up with new content. Challenge. Definitely a
challenge, I think. But we're up to the task.
And so, you know, there can be big brain like
that. Yeah, for sure. You know we have to be
very careful to follow the rules which Geez,
what is that? Oh there are no rules Let's go
good rule. I like that rule. It's a good rule
really no encompassing rule saying when you think
of it Yeah, this week. We're doing our Last week
we did most beautiful places on earth, right?
Yes this a little bit different. So we're going
to do a top 10 bucket list destination. So these
are, these are places we want to see or visit,
whatever. And, uh, Aiden, yes, start us off,
man. Alrighty, I will start with my number 10
bucket list spot, province France. Oh, yes. Yeah
province. I believe is just a region of France.
It's not like a city itself But like the big
lavender fields like the old classic buildings
little French cuisine in a small town full for
sure be Fantastic, so province France would be
beautiful number nine. I had to put him on there
Los Angeles, USA I would love to go. Just walk
along the beach, drive through the town, be like,
oh shit, I've been here in GTA. That's it exactly.
That is it exactly. You're just like, I know
this town. Yeah. Like, oh wow, you don't need
GPS to get around a city you've never been to
now. Nah, I'm good. I've drove around this city
a lot. Yeah, welcome to Los Santos. Yeah, right.
Yeah, would love to see Los Angeles. Number eight?
A little carry over here, but I would love to
see it. The Cliffs of Moor in Ireland. Yes. Just
absolutely gorgeous. I would love to see it with
my own eyes. Number seven, I put St. Andrews,
Scotland. Ooh. I think it would be gorgeous.
Beautiful. Got to golf that. Beautiful place.
A little golfing. Could be gorgeous. I believe
Scotland invented golf. I believe they did. I
believe they did. They're just weird enough to
invent a game that enrages about 5 .5 million
males every year. I should just say people. I'm
sure it frustrates women, too. About 90 % of
the players of golf. Of golf, period. Right.
Hate golf. Hey, thank you, Scotland. Yes. Yeah.
Number six, Bangkok, Thailand. That would be
beautiful. I didn't put that. I shouldn't have.
Yeah. And also it'd be cool to say I've been
to Bangkok. Right, I've been to Bangkok. But
you know, I have to say that, oops, sorry folks.
Yeah, we keep pushing people, okay. That was
my phone. Here's the thing, I just charged it
and I had the volume off when I was charging
it and then I turned it back on and the volume
was up. I don't know why that is. Mm. Curious
Samsung. I'm onto your game. Samsung has infiltrated
the Mark Mo show. Yeah. Oh, yeah. For sure. Now,
before, Aidan was so rudely interrupted by my
stupid phone. Bangkok was my number six. Bangkok,
yeah. Number five, I've got Malay in the Maldives.
Yeah. Just gorgeous. Big city for small little
islands. And of course, just being in the Maldives
would be gorgeous. Number four, I'd Shanghai,
China. Oh, yeah. It's like the gorgeous buildings,
and it just looks so damn cool. And all the boats
in the bay. Yeah. It's very cool looking. Yeah,
I would love to go there. Number three, Reykjavik,
Iceland. I think would be beautiful. By the way,
why is it that Iceland is green and Greenland
is all ice? Yeah, I've always thought that too.
I think they should get together and be like,
hey, dude. We got it, we got to swap. Like this
does not make sense. Number two on my list is
going to Kyoto, Japan. I think would be really,
really cool. That's like the cultural epicenter
of Japan. Yeah, yeah. So that's, that's my, I'll
save my number one. Ooh, okay. All right, I have
no honorable mentions. Also top 10, number 10,
Germany. Now, a lot of these can be considered
even like event -centric. Sure. So it would be
like Oktoberfest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know,
where you're going into the beer halls and doing
all that. But like, I'd want to stay from Oktoberfest
to Christmas. Because like, Germany does Christmas
right too. Oh yeah. Check it out. And all the
towns and villages just like have all their markets
and all that. Like, I would just like... For
three months. Yeah, just put me in Germany. I'll
be I'll be happy camper Munich on Christmas Day
get real Venus schnitzel big mugs of beer dude
be awesome. It would be amazing number nine Alaskan
Cruz It's the I'm kind of anti Cruz. Yeah, not
Tom Cruise. He's a delightful individual despite
his I'm anti Ted Cruz Yeah, yeah anti Ted pro
Tom Which is weird that he's against you know,
preferred names, but his real name is Raphael.
Raffi, yeah. Raffi. Ooh, big ice storm coming.
Yeah, it's about time for that trip to California.
Yeah, right. Jag bag. But anyway, I think sometimes,
sometimes cruises are a necessity. Like if you're
gonna island hop in the Caribbean, probably a
cruise. Yeah, yeah. My number nine is Alaskan
Cruise. You're not going to go in the wilds of
Alaska like Iditarod, like with a dog team. Right,
right. You're not doing that. Although that could
be someone's dream. Oh, it could be. It could
very well be. I like fun, though. I choose fun.
I choose fun which means being on a floating
hotel Yeah, where I can go. Oh my god. How pretty
look at that fjord. All right. I need a drink
Yeah, right, you know just it just would be better
And then number eight kind of the same deal Mediterranean
cruise. I think it's a good one I think if you're
going to see like the south of France Spain Italy
all of the Greek islands and all of the like
if you're gonna do that all in a shot Just put
get on a boat you guys once again doing less
in your life, right? Let them plan the itinerary
and just show up. Yeah show up and have a good
time. I'm all about that Number seven the state
of Maine. I've only been there six states I haven't
been to yet Maine's one of them and I hear amazing
things about Maine get in there with the lobster
rolls Yeah, well, that's the thing. Yeah, I'm
not a seafood guy And then one day, a friend
of mine, who's a chef, said, hey, man, you want
to try a new thing? Oh, yeah, what do you got?
Lobster roll. I'm like, eh. And he's like, no,
you'll like it. No, really, you'll like it. I
took a bite and I'm like, it's good. It's good.
So, yeah, I would definitely enjoy that, for
sure. There's no question about that. And then
doing it in the fall. I think because I did New
England in the fall So it's like Connecticut
and Rhode Island and Massachusetts and I did
that in the fall and it's just gorgeous just
beautiful and Just didn't make it up to Maine
made it to Vermont, but not New Hampshire So
I'm sure and Maine would have to be kind of that
trip package deal package deal. Yeah, but Yeah,
so seeing Maine would be amazing I've yet to
go to Texas, which is amazing all the states
I've been to and I haven't worked out, Texas
yet But going to Dallas, Texas, primarily to
do the JFK stuff and see the school book depository
and the grass, you know, and do all that. He's
my favorite president of all time. I've been
to the JFK Presidential Library, which if you
haven't been, it should be on your list. It's
really an amazing place. It's kind of a neat
place, too. And so yeah, so I want to do that
whole Dallas thing and and it's Dallas So I'm
sure there's great barbecue and stuff there and
in Lone Star beer, so yeah Yeah, there's there's
good things there. It would be a fine trip. I'm
sure Number five Yellowstone National Forest.
Oh, that's a good one. Yeah that one we talked
a little bit about last week and Yeah, so it's
just one of the more amazingly beautiful places
in this country and Of course, because it is
that, because it is one of those amazingly beautiful
places, it kind of figures that it is also probably
the end of the United States at some point, because
there is a massive, massive, massive volcano
underneath, and when it blows, it's gonna spew
ash on like eight to ten states, and those states
are like our... agricultural producing states,
and that's... We'd all be rough in it, we'll
say. In Pac -Man language, eww, bloop bloop.
That would be the game, for sure. Number four,
Tokyo. And so you had Kyoto, I had Tokyo. I think
Tokyo just looks like fun, it's futuristic. It's
a massive city. It's a massive city. And hey,
any city on Christmas where KFC is the delicacy,
let's go. I was telling some of my co -workers
about the KFC in Japan. KFC for Christmas. Oh,
yeah. They were loving it. They're like, dude,
that's such a good idea. Why don't we do that?
Exactly. You know, and they jack the prices a
little bit and they just like, hey, here's a
bucket of chicken. Merry Christmas. That is a
Merry Christmas. Number three, the Cayman Islands.
I have a friend that lives on the Cayman Islands.
I don't think it requires a passport. Oh, okay.
I think, I don't know, I'm not sure. I would
like to have to research that. Yeah. Because
I think they're their own country, but I don't
know if there is some sort of... Thing with the
US and I have to look that up, but I got a friend
that lives out in the Caymans And that's just
like that's if you ever had F me money and wanted
to put it offshore somewhere Just put in the
Cayman Island right you've had enough of this
country Just go right just go a little beachfront
villa and just forget about everything else yep
Then you can really slow the things down. Yeah,
yeah and number two San Diego. Oh there you go
That is really the only part of California. I
haven't been to is San Diego and below towards
Tijuana and like I had a chance to get there
one time and stopped god I think 10 miles short
of actually technically getting into San Diego
but um yeah so definitely want to check out San
Diego looks like they have a super cool baseball
park I would love to see that oh yeah it just
looks amazing and and then just Food trucks everywhere
and tacos. Yeah in Mexican Street, which I love
street food. Yeah and it just looks like the
The ocean front looks amazing as well. So yeah,
I would love to check that out. That's a good
one So that was my number two. That's a good
one my number one Going back Dublin Ireland.
Yes, I think would be beautiful and so cool and
just Going to an Irish pub in Ireland. Hmm, which
I guess they would just call it a pub That would
be just incredible. I also had Ireland as my
number one. Let's fucking go. Let's go. Ireland
is my number one. Going to a pub, it'd be silly
to be like, oh, yeah, where's your Irish pub?
And they'd be like, oh, everywhere. That's exactly
how it would be. We just call it a pub. We just
call it a pub. Yeah, wanker. So yeah. You fucking
yank. Yeah. Oh, Jesus. So yeah. Chase us. Yeah.
So Ireland is it. I would love to be in a position
where I could do... There's like bicycle tours.
Now mind you, Ireland's not massive. It's not
a huge country. So, you could do a 10 to 12 day
trip on bike and just bike around. And I would
totally dig that and just see castles, see the
Clifstomore, our homeland of our people, County
Mayo and County Court primarily. Would love to
go there do a little bit of research. I know
I've had relatives do research about that and
Maybe be able to go to some of the grave sites
see like see our relatives. Yeah, you know right
there That would be pretty impactful. So yeah,
Ireland for sure. Hell. Yeah, no doubt And as
always hit us up in the socials if you've got
your bucket list places That you want to go to
so now We go from there Down the rabbit hole
like that was dramatic. Yeah, maybe too dramatic
fuck it. It was great I I'm skilled so On the
reddit rabbit hole in goes there and he stays
sometimes sometimes he gets lost in the hole
who doesn't yeah, I know right so easy to get
lost in the hole so Did you go down said hole
and what'd you find? I did go down the reddit
rabbit hole. I found something that we all know
is true, but it's nice to have actual stats to
look at. Trump's a cunt? Well, well, yeah, that's
sorry. Sorry for the use of the word Trump. Yeah,
right. America's wealth divide listed as total
assets. And these are stats as of 2024. The richest.
0 .1 % of Americans have 22 .3 trillion dollars
in total assets. Whereas the bottom 50%, which
is 170 million people. Ballpark, yeah. 9 .9 trillion.
Oh my god. In total assets. And they list it
by breaking it down in real estate, consumer
goods, equities, pensions, private businesses,
and other types of assets, such as crypto and
other shit like that. The richest 0 .1 % of Americans
have $11 trillion in equities. Meaning that the
richest 0 .1 % of Americans in stocks alone have
more wealth than the bottom 170 million Americans.
Wow. In stocks alone. That's not even counting
all of their real estate, all of their businesses,
all their other assets. And most Americans, the
bottom 50 % of Americans, of the 9 .9 trillion,
about half of that, 4 .9, is in real estate.
Most Americans' largest asset is their primary
residence. But the fact that Just in stocks alone,
the richest 0 .1 % have more wealth than the
poorest 170 million of us. Wow. Wow. Yeah. That's
infuriating. Yeah, we are so far beyond the wealth
divide before the French Revolution. So far beyond
that. Which is infuriating in the fact that growing
up as a child in the 80s we were told by President
Reagan and his administration and other conservatives
at the time the right way to do this is to make
sure the big business flourishes and the wealthy
get wealthier. That all that extra wealth was
gonna trickle down. Yep. That was their plan
No, the real plan was yeah, let us take all this
money and then We're not gonna trickle down.
We're gonna trickle on you. Yeah while we roll
in our bed made of money That's that was their
plan to begin with right and it's still their
plan so Yeah, that that is infuriating. It's
absurd. It's not it's not the path to take if
you're talking about trickling down. If you're
gonna do it, the right way to do it, so the government
could go, ah, every one of you rich motherfuckers
is paying 40%, and all of that money is gonna
get redistributed to all the people that aren't
making anywhere near that amount of money. It's
gonna go into health programs, it's gonna go
into food, it's gonna go into education, it's
gonna go into all of that. and you're gonna suck
it up and you're gonna pay for that. Right. And
even if they pay 40%, at the end of the day,
guess what? They're still fucking rich. Right.
They're still billionaires. They're still billionaires.
Yeah. Yep. So, I don't know. That's just me.
And here's the thing. I'm not even as far left
as this dude sitting next to me and I said that,
so... Yeah, I'm probably one of the furthest
left people, left leaning people that I know.
Man if I was a policymaker All of you billionaires
are gonna get fucking brutalized. Oh, yeah, fuck
you guys. Yep. Oh, yeah Yeah, there's there's
The funny thing was like I one day I was sitting
around and I said to myself self What amount
of money? Just an amount mm -hmm would be enough
Where I would not have to work anymore where
I could get up every day go for a walk go to
the gym have a cup of coffee with a friend right
hang out with my friends at the bar that night
and just do that rinse repeat rinse repeat and
just live my life what amount of money and so
i figured it out i was like you know what if
i had three million with an m with an m yeah
in the bank and just drew from that account monthly
and trust me it's it's i would be drawing more
than i was making before when i was working yeah
But not much more. Just enough where I afford
rent in my car and all that. Like, you do that
and you can take your one trip a year and you
can go to the bar and not have to worry about
a $20 bar tab. Right. That life. Three million.
Yeah. That's all I need. And you got dudes worth
billions. Worth 10 ,000 times that. Yeah. 10
,000 times that. They couldn't spend that in...
Ten lifetimes. What the fuck is there even to
buy? What is there to buy? I want to buy Greenland.
That's about it. Right. That's why there was
that like that funny joke, because the LA Dodgers
are like the capitalistic shitty billionaires
of the Major League Baseball. And there was a
funny meme the other day. There was like, sorry,
uh, sorry NATO and the United States, the Los
Angeles Dodgers have outbid you for Greenland.
And I'm like, you know what's sick and twisted?
The Dodgers could probably buy Greenland if they
wanted to. That's effed up. Right. It's a fucked
up world. Yes. It is a fucked up world. And,
uh, you know, I don't know all the things that
will fix it, but forcing billionaires to pay
their share is what's gotta happen. Yes. Oh,
and that little piece of legislation, Glass -Steagall
or whatever the hell it is, that says, corporations
are people to fuck you. Yeah. No. Uh -uh. No,
they're not. And get all that money out of politics.
Oh, yeah all of it Literally every politician
should have a budget. Yep. That's your budget.
You guys have an equal budget. That's all you
can spend. Yeah It god what a different world
it would be And ban mass media would be nice.
Oh, yeah, fuck them So anyway, we just solved
a lot of shit. You're welcome America Happens
when people start cooking. That's right, man.
That's right There are times, too, where people
look at me and they're just like, ah, let them
cook. Yeah. So, I'm done cooking, though. You're
welcome. Before we get to our break, while you
were sleeping, Aidan looks at pop culture, looks
at YouTubing, movies, shows, books, so many different
things. And says, hey guys, you missed something
while you were sleeping. And after I wiped the
sleep out of my eyes, I go, oh my god. Whoa.
Thank you. So much. for sharing, so what did
we miss while we were sleeping? Tis my duty.
I never sleep. To please that booty. While you
were sleeping, you missed another YouTuber, dang
it. Oh, did we? Okay. A man by the name of Coffeezilla.
Coffeezilla. Coffeezilla. An independent journalist
of sorts who mainly focuses on exposing scams
and... Greedy markets and shit like that. Oh,
okay, really like in -depth well studied and
just fantastically presented videos and and just
like providing evidence and it's There's not
enough positive adjectives to correctly describe
this this dude's style and in intelligence in
his field Some of his more recent videos include
Exposing a ten billion dollar debt industry.
Oh Exposing the gambling epidemic A video where
he got a celebrity scammer to confess to what
they'd done He made a whole video on a bank that
wouldn't let people withdraw their money Exposing
that Argentina's meme coin disaster is worse
than you think he did a video on that the dark
side of Counter -Strike and, like, video game
gambling. A video where he got bribed by casinos
but then exposed them instead. Very, very excellent
content. And it's just... I don't know, it's
perfectly in line with what we constantly talk
about of, like, just greed and late -stage capitalism
just being foul. Yep, and then this dude does
all the research and talks to the right people
and Puts together these excellent videos Wow,
that is amazing coffeezilla. Yes. He is on YouTube.
So check him out Yeah, and he has a second channel
called voidzilla. Oh where it's kind of less
scripted more like just the yappin and he's done
a lot of excellent videos covering the Epstein
files going through them, kind of presenting
what's been released so far and everything like
that. So I can recommend that one as well. That's
awesome. Excellent. All right. Well, thank you
for that, Aidan. And we're going to take our
last break and finish up with another beer review
and the world of weird news coming up. All right,
everybody, we're back. Home stretch here on the
Mark Mo Show. It's Mark Maloney along with Aidan
Maloney. And yeah, we do our beer review right
about now. The official beer review. The official
beer review, absolutely. We try a bunch of beers
that typically you may not find everywhere. But
maybe you can make the effort and acquire said
beers. Damn right. That we're doing. And support
your local breweries, too. Oh, 100%. And so why
don't you tell the fine people out there about
this beer with the really cool artwork on the
front. Very cool artwork on the front. This is
called Brindle Brown, beer I and DLE. It's by
Burnham Brewing, which is a nano brewery, which
is a classification I didn't know existed until
right now. No. Nano brewery out of Michigan City,
Indiana. About 30 minutes from here. Yeah, 30
minute drive. It's a brown ale, an American brown
ale, 6 .7%, 61 on the international bidders unit
scale. Okay. A little higher than what we typically
enjoy. Well, not that we won't enjoy it. It's
just higher than what we typically have. Oh man,
and we're drinking them out of beer mugs today.
Got it. It is up to... Yeah, these mugs are...
Exactly. Precisely 16 ounces. Yes, they are.
And man, that's precarious. Mm -hmm. Mark Moe
just poured all 16 ounces in there. It's a precarious
pour you've done. Yeah. How are you going to
pick that up? You've got to transfer it over
your phone and the laptop. I'm going to drink
it with my mind. Yes. So we will be sampling
this as they... claim the brown ale American
is lightly hopped brown ale. It's the only description
they give, and you know what? Succinct can be
good. Absolutely. We will be ranking it on the
Untapped app on our telephones. Not sponsored,
but I wish they would. It's for sure. It's free.
We'll rank it on a scale from zero to five on
how much we like it. And we'll give you a flavor
profile, what our tongues are experiencing. Hell
yes. So I'd clink your mug, but I don't think
your beer is going to survive. Yes, probably
not. But what I can do is I'm literally sliding
it across our desk. I'll come over and I'll clink
it. You clink me. Clinkses. There we go. Clinkses.
All right. Let's get this party started, shall
we? Cheers. Let's get in there. Slainte. Slainte.
Oh, that's very tasty. That's really good. It's
super malty. Sweet malt. Yeah. They said 60 -some
-odd on the bitters unit. I was just about to
say that, and I'm not getting that. No, that's
way too smooth. There's no, in my opinion, that's
not bitter at all. No, I am - Sweeter than I
thought it would be. Mm -hmm. I like that a lot.
That is quite fantastic. Nano brewery. That term
is still... I've heard of microbrewery. I've
heard of macrobrewery. Right. Nano brewery. That's
a new one for me. That is new. Yeah. Burnham
Brewing. Well, this shit's pretty damn good.
It is really good. Yeah, definitely malty, 100%.
Great color, too. And that's something we often
don't get to see, because a lot of times we'll
drink out of the cans. Yeah. Unless, of course,
the bottle. We can see it a little bit. But what
a beautiful color. Yeah, slightly hazy. Can't
really see through it very well. But yeah, gorgeous.
Rich brown color. Yeah. amber -brown kind of
kind of vibes going on oh that is good that is
so smooth I also have the can it says comforting
the disturbed I love that that's amazing comforting
the disturbed and if you turn the can it says
disturbing the comfortable well that's fantastic
best of both worlds right there that really is
the best of both worlds and this is great I My
brain's making the connection, because of how
sweet it is, to almost being dessert beer -esque.
Close. But it's not a dessert beer. No. I could
just, like, sit there on my front porch, or watching
a game, or whatever, and have a can. Yeah, absolutely.
Remarkably smooth. Wow. Yeah, if anyone out there,
if you're a fan of multi -beers, this is perfect
for you. Yeah, this is good. I think this is
either the first or second brown ale we've tried
on the show. We've had amber ales. Yes, we have.
Blonde ales. But yeah, this is either the first
or second brown ale we've had. And it's pretty
fantastic. I like it. Hmm. What to rank it on
a scale to five, though. Like all the flavor
profiles. Malty smooth sweet like I would do
all those three. Yeah, it's not overly sweet
There's also on here hoppy. I'm not getting a
lot of ops. I would disagree. This is dark I
would probably put dark on yeah Yeah on the untapped
app if anyone's unfamiliar it gives you five
flavor profile notes that you can or can't agree
with as the most selected flavor profile notes
Yeah, I disagree with hoppy. It is not hoppy
And also there is a thing that a drinking experience
is different if you're drinking it out of a glass
instead of a can. Interesting. Versus a bottle
due to like the aromatics, it hits your nose
differently. If it's been poured, like we've
poured them into these fancy looking... Professionally
poured, mind you. Yes, yes. Fancy looking beer
mugs that it gives time for the beer to air out.
Oh yeah. Everything. So maybe it is hoppier out
of a can. I don't know. Who's to say who's to
say hmm, but hoppy was not something that I got
out of that at all God that is fantastic. I keep
sipping it. It's really good. It is I'm trying
to See if I'm getting any flavor notes I'm almost
getting like cocoa Coco, maybe a touch of like
cinnamon raisin in a way hmm like the sweetness
is is almost raisin II Raisin or prune some kind
of like Fruity sweetness in there now very good.
I'm going Going kind of high on this one. I like
it a lot. I'm going 4 .0 out of 5 So it is in
the elite tier. It's in the elite here and the
grades out 0 to 5. Yes, I Went 4 to 5. Yeah,
I really really enjoyed it for sure So we're
gonna check that in to our our score for sure
Really fantastic. Yeah across the nation or Overseas,
I'm not sure if you're gonna have much luck finding
this especially if it's Classified as a nano
brewery. I'm not sure Yeah, how far they distribute?
Northwest, Indiana is my guess maybe southwestern,
Michigan That would be my guess. I don't know
if you get it in Chicago or not Have a look for
it. If you're gonna have a look burn and brewing
Definitely, and I'm trying to think if we've
tried anything by Burnham before, like on the
review. Yeah. I don't believe so. I don't think
we have. But I'm really enjoying this quite a
bit. Yeah. We have to suss these guys out. That
is really interesting. I'm looking for the ABV
on the can. I think it was six and a half. Six
and a half? Six point seven, I believe. And that
helps too, I think. Because if it's you know
if the alcohol contents really high that flavor
profile changes. Yes, so You know six and a half.
I think is like for me is perfect. Yeah. Yeah,
I'd agree So I I got a on this app you get badges.
I got we don't need those stinking badges I got
I got a I got a badge middle of the road level
nine I also got a middle of the road badge what
level 57 Now, mind you, he's had this app for
years. Since I turned 21. And I literally got
this for the show. Yeah. So that's why I'm a
little behind. Don't think that I am less seasoned.
Yeah, of course. That is not the case at all.
Where do you think I learned it from? Exactly,
and I am proud. It says, looking for more kick
than a session beer, but want to be able to stay
for a few rounds. I could stay for a few rounds.
Yeah. Get real. You have to keep me in the middle.
That's 45 beers with an ABV greater than five,
but less than 10. Kind of my sweet spot, I think,
to be completely honest. That really is. Yeah.
Even some of the IPAs, the higher ABV IPAs that
I tend to enjoy, most of those are sub 10 anyway.
Oh, are they yeah percent nine percent things
like that you get above ten percent. You're What
are you talking about? They're barley wines.
Maybe yeah at that rate Yeah, I think we've had
it. Have we had a beer on The Mo show that was
over ten percent. I don't know if we have We've
had one that was nine and a half percent. I know
that yeah, I don't think we've had a Beyond ten
percenter It's a good question. We may have to
do a little research. So I was just kind of looking
through some of the ones that we've done as well.
So the Brindle, I gave a 4 .25. Then we did the
Tropical Squall last week, which is by Dogfish.
Yeah, I gave that a four. So we definitely liked
that. You gave it three and a half. Then the
week before we tried the, or actually, no, we
tried two beers that week. Yes. We tried Pastry
Archie Airplane Cookie, which On the surface,
you're just like, oh my god, I love airplane
cookies. This is going to be amazing. And then
that's not what we got. No. And at all. I believe
we've, I don't know if we tried them on the show,
but I know we have tried other pastry -archy
brews before. They're made by Dewclaw. And I
remember them being fantastic. Yeah. This one
did not hit. No, it really didn't. It didn't
hit. And so that I gave like a two and a half.
Yeah. Actually, you and I both gave it a two
and a half. Yep. Yep. That's what we did. Sweet
Baby Fluffernutter. That was the one we tried
alongside the airplane cookie. Yeah, that is
correct. And you gave it 2 .75. Yeah, both of
them were just not as advertised. Nope. I think
we both liked the Hazicus Maximus by Linguinitas
Brewing Company. I gave it three and a half,
you gave it 3 .75, solid. And like I said, I'm
not an IPA guy. But as long as that bitterness
is cut a little bit, I do like them. As long
as it doesn't linger on the tongue, you say.
Correct, yeah. Which is weird coming from a guy
that you know can mainline malort, but Right,
even that being said true even even that being
said to be fair I mean yes It's like if you ever
took the little pine tree thing that hangs in
your car and just like decided to put it in your
mouth That's a shot of Malort. Yeah chew on it
a little bit right. That's that's kind of what
that is so But that even being aside like how
I handle my alcohol is different than how I handle
my beer Alcohol, it's like you're doing a shot.
You're just like, yep. Like liquors, yeah. Right.
Well, it's different. It's like, look, if I've
got a bourbon and it's two fingers and I got
rocks and I got a cigar, I am drinking that for
the enjoyment of the alcohol. Right. But if you're
doing a shot of Fireball, you're doing a shot
of Malort. You're just trying to get drunk. Yeah.
Yeah at that. Let's be honest. You're just trying
to get drunk So I you know, it's not like I'm
gonna sit there do a shot of fireball and be
like, you know the flavor profile Nah, anybody
that does that shit tastes like cinnamon dog
get out of my bar. Just leave now I don't want
to see your face. Can I get two fingers of fireball,
please on the rocks? Oh my god Yeah, I will give
him a shot of fireball and then I'll poke him
in the eyes with my two fingers Is how that situation's
gonna go? But I mean when it comes to beers like
this It's different For me because it's like
sure you know other people just get case of beers.
They would just want to get slammed I'm sure
but when you when you're trying beers like we
are it's more than that You know we're trying
to get the flavor and then just general enjoyment
of the beer right right And this is a very good
one. Yeah, probably I don't know we'd have to
look back Maybe in history like of all the ones
that we've graded so far but I would hazard a
guess this is in our top five to 10%. Oh, for
sure, for sure, yeah. I think, yeah, it's only
been a handful of beers on the Beer Review. In
the fours. Where both of us have been in the
fours, yeah. Right, correct. I would agree. And
trust me when I say, like, the flavors or types
of beers, I guess, to be more accurate, that
he and I, like, are different. You know, he loves
the IPAs. I'm not a huge fan. I am a bigger fan
of said ales. Yeah We're both fans of stouts
both fans of Belgians Belgians for sure. I do
like a lager And so, you know, it differs a little
bit, but I think that's what makes these reviews
fun. Yeah Because you know, there might be a
beer that's typically Not in my range or not
typically what I would drink that I try and I
go my god Because of our reviews. I normally
would never have tried that sure yeah, and now
I'm super glad I did yeah So that's that's that's
why these are fun, and I hope you guys get some
out of them And if we say that and you'd be like
oh my god I saw that in the liquor store the
other day go grab it Yeah, absolutely go grab
it and and once again too like if there's a beer
that I enjoy That sits there for ten minutes
and gets a little bit warm, and I can pick it
up and still enjoy it That's a good guess. Yeah,
absolutely. Because there are some beers very
cold that are good that when they warm up a little
bit, toss it. Yeah, right. There are some beers
like that. It's just like once it warms up, you're
like, oh my god, what is that? Yeah. So it's
interesting how that works sometimes, for sure.
It is. Yeah. But anyway, yeah, get out and get
some of that brindle brown ale. If you can find
it, hopefully you can. If you can find it, like
I said, it's Burnham Brewing. So maybe they've
got an online portal where you can get on there
and maybe you can order it. I don't know how
that works. Yeah, right. Exactly. I don't know
what the laws are for shipping beer. Yeah, shipping
beer. Because I know distributing beer, you can't
cross. Well, you're involved in that. Yeah, that's
that's my career. You can't cross state lines
as a distributor. Correct. But if you're just
transporting between warehouses you can go across
state lines and then in some states you can purchase
alcohol online Yeah other states you can't some
states you can have like alcohol door dashed
and Other states you can't so true. Yeah, that's
very true and and it's it's so super interesting
You know and I guess that makes sense now because
the last time we took a road trip out to Seattle
we tried Irish death? Does that sound right?
Yeah. I'll do a little quick research. I think
you're correct. We tried Irish death. We looked.
We couldn't get it out here in the Midwest at
all. But it was a Seattle beer, I believe, from
a Seattle brewery. And it wasn't exactly a stout.
It was a dark beer. I don't think it was a porter.
But it was a very dark beer. It was so good and
so smooth. I would love to have an opportunity
like hindsight being 20, 20, I wish I would have
just like got a couple of cases in the truck.
I really do. But then like when I was coming
back another time, the WVLP station manager was
like, hey, man, bring me back something cool.
I'm like, oh, God, what does that mean? Right.
And there was this beer called Bongwater. And
that's what I picked it up in Missoula, Montana,
which is a college town. And they had this amazing
amazing liquor store, which was half liquor store,
half head shop. And I was like, oh, this place
is freaking righteous, man. I dig it. And the
guy's like, oh, have you tried our bong water?
I'm like, you guys are drinking that shit now?
He's like, no, no, no. He's like, it's a beer.
Check this shit out. And I'm like, cool. You
can't get that in the Midwest, can you? He's
like, nope. I'm like, that's what I want. And
yeah, so that's interesting. So you might be
right with the state line thing. Ordering it
online would be. Difficult. Yeah. Yeah, I did
find Quilters Irish death made by Iron Horse
Brewery Iron Horse. Yep. Yep. That's it dark
smooth ale Yeah, we had that we drank so maybe
similar. Oh sure Brown ale dark ale. Yeah gotta
be similar in the family. Yeah Because we love
that like we literally guys let me tell you yeah,
we cracked open I think it's a 750 mil bottle
we cracked it open shared it between the three
of us on a hotel roof in Seattle It was it like
there's a whole story to that. We'll share someday
So I got a super great deal on this boutique
hotel. I was in Queen Anne part of Seattle, which
is super cool and So I think we got these cheese
curds or whatever from this one bar, bistro place,
like up the street. And we're like, oh, cheese
curds in Seattle. But the chef was from Wisconsin,
so we're like, oh, fuck it, let's go. This dude
knows what he's doing. Blood's cooking. Oh, yeah.
So we picked up these cheese curds. We went back.
We're like, I have something to drink with the
cheese curds. So we looked and saw this Irish
death. And I'm like, well, we should do that.
Yeah. You should definitely do that based on
the can. Right. And it was the perfect beer for
the said fried cheese. Oh, it was so good. It
was amazing. So, by the way, if you're in the
Pacific Northwest, Irish death, get it. It's
so good. Ship it to us. Ship it to us, man. If
USPS will let you. Will let you do it. Yeah,
exactly. You go to the post office and be like,
yeah, is there anything valuable in there? It's
incredibly valuable. Yeah, right. It's incredibly
valuable, but is in no way beer. It's priceless.
Yeah, right. But anyway, yeah, you want to send
us beer, please feel free. We are happy to try
whatever you got All right, that's it for the
beer of you And that brings us to the world of
weird news to finish out our show this week mine
is from Brisbane, Australia if you care to yeah,
you went to Australia can't all right I know
he's gonna tell a story about us. I know I am
so The musical duo Bootleg Rascal kicked off
their new tour in Brisbane, Australia on January
10th with a sweet turned awkward moment. Metro
News reported Carlos Lara said their manager
had informed them that someone wanted to propose
on stage during the third song. Excuse me. And
sure enough, a man climbed up to take the microphone.
He called his partner Jamie to the stage and
told the crowd they had seen the band two years
before and it was their favorite band. And I
thought today, why not? Maybe today is the time,
the man said. Then he got down on one knee and
that's when it all went wrong. The woman started
shaking her head no and trying to pull him back
up. Then she ran off stage. Lara said I don't
think I ever felt that awkward on a stage in
my entire life. Oh, no the spurned boyfriend
stayed on his knee until someone Until someone
in a scooby -doo costume He can't make the shit
up ran up to help him get back on his feet and
hugged him Laura said they checked in with him
after the show. He was quote -unquote definitely
searching for a few beers It checks out they
gave him some free merch so he wouldn't go away
completely empty -handed That's crazy What a
nightmare to be on stage and then she's like
now See, that's the thing too man. It's like
I know I know guys typically plan like these
big elaborate They try to be all fancy with their
proposal instead of just being like, you know

it just straight with the person they're with
Instead they do these elaborate things and if
it backfires if you're like One level and she's
on another and you're like hey, and she's like
mmm No, maybe yeah, right Then it's just it's
just like all that planning all that preparation
