WEBVTT

00:00:08.150 --> 00:00:12.230
Hey, everybody. It is the Mark Mo Show. It is

00:00:12.230 --> 00:00:14.550
season five. It is episode six, Youth of the

00:00:14.550 --> 00:00:19.030
Nation. I'm your host, Mark Maloney. And to my

00:00:19.030 --> 00:00:21.589
left, and maybe he's to your right, maybe he's

00:00:21.589 --> 00:00:22.809
to your left. Actually, I don't know because

00:00:22.809 --> 00:00:25.260
he can't see us. Camera right. Can't camera,

00:00:25.339 --> 00:00:28.120
right? It is Aidan Maloney. Aiden, how you doing,

00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:32.020
man? Doing pretty fantastic. I've had some weird

00:00:32.020 --> 00:00:34.240
sleep schedule things going on recently. I'm

00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.000
pretty sure I opened like the last three Mark

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.979
Mo shows along the lines of, man, I've been so

00:00:38.979 --> 00:00:42.899
tired recently. Yeah. Yeah, I've been averaging

00:00:42.899 --> 00:00:46.100
like 8 hour 15 a night. And then last night,

00:00:46.219 --> 00:00:49.520
I slept for just shy of 10 and a half hours.

00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.820
Yeah, so. Not sure what's going on there, but...

00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:57.859
That's, uh, yeah. Yeah, good 10 -hour rest and

00:00:57.859 --> 00:00:59.600
a bunch of caffeine this morning. I'm feeling

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.840
pretty fantastic. Yeah, you're spry and ready

00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.420
to make some content. Absolutely. How about that?

00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:09.280
As the Lord intended. As the Lord intended. And

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.760
the Lord intended for Aiden to have his own YouTube

00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.519
gaming channel called Aiden Spelled the Right

00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:14.980
in that nice segue, right? Yeah, pretty good.

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.859
Yeah, I can't ride those things. Aiden spelled

00:01:17.859 --> 00:01:20.879
it the right way, he has new PC gaming content

00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.400
like GeoGuessr, PolyBridge, Observation, Duty,

00:01:23.620 --> 00:01:28.260
and more each and every week. So, what can people,

00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:30.560
and now I think you just had some new content

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:32.640
post, didn't you? What do you got going on? Yeah,

00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.760
three a week, back on schedule after the holiday

00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.799
break, and it's been fantastic. There's one map

00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.420
left in Observation, Duty, 8. which I will eventually

00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:45.680
get to, but the episode that dropped today on

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.500
my channel is this short little horror, well,

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.120
not short, it's just kind of long because I yap

00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:57.180
a lot when playing these games, but it's intended

00:01:57.180 --> 00:01:59.060
to be a short horror game, but it's still an

00:01:59.060 --> 00:02:03.459
hour episode called Channel 4 Midnight, kind

00:02:03.459 --> 00:02:08.020
of this weird supernatural... dreamscape kind

00:02:08.020 --> 00:02:10.740
of horror game that I found very fascinating

00:02:10.740 --> 00:02:12.800
and I thought it was I thought it was a good

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.719
time and I hope you guys like that type of content

00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.770
because it's all over my channel Indeed it is,

00:02:19.810 --> 00:02:23.129
and it is good content. So if you are a gamer,

00:02:23.889 --> 00:02:26.389
and even Gamer Kid Tim, you know. Yeah, right.

00:02:26.710 --> 00:02:29.710
By all means, just don't say anything. Yeah,

you're all welcome to his gaming channel. It's

00:02:32.490 --> 00:02:36.469
good stuff. And if you like that, you'll like

00:02:36.469 --> 00:02:42.129
our new -ish channel. It is A &M Gaming. So think

00:02:42.129 --> 00:02:45.490
of your chaos and improv and all the stuff that

00:02:45.490 --> 00:02:51.310
we do here. a gaming channel on YouTube, A &M

00:02:51.310 --> 00:02:57.689
Gaming. And so, yeah, it's a good vibe. We do

00:02:57.689 --> 00:03:00.270
a lot of different games. We do games where we

00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:03.590
can interact and we can talk, as opposed to games

00:03:03.590 --> 00:03:06.000
where you really gotta like... Focus. I mean,

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.580
I suppose one that kind of breaks them out a

00:03:08.580 --> 00:03:11.460
little bit is observation duty But still it's

00:03:11.460 --> 00:03:13.439
like as you're going along and things are popping.

00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.460
I mean some of the stuff's just comical Yeah,

00:03:15.460 --> 00:03:18.159
it really allows us to do what we do. We still

00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.439
find our ways to yap For an hour straight. We

00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.560
really do we really do but yeah, so like observation

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.000
duty We do we do some geoguessr. That one's a

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:33.800
lot of fun to do Just just because humans I mean

00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.580
it's just they They set us up. It's the bump,

00:03:36.620 --> 00:03:39.319
and then we spike. Yeah, the Earth is so beautiful

00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.520
in that way. It really is. It's pretty fantastic.

00:03:43.259 --> 00:03:47.979
So we do enjoy that one. We enjoy the BuzzFeed

00:03:47.979 --> 00:03:51.900
quizzes. Those are fun. And most recently, we're

00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:55.520
doing a new game, which I believe is going to

00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.789
take us three or four, maybe five. Episodes to

00:03:59.789 --> 00:04:02.610
complete and why don't you tell these fine beautiful

00:04:02.610 --> 00:04:04.590
people about what we're doing right now Yeah,

00:04:04.590 --> 00:04:08.349
we're uh well today at least for for this week

00:04:08.349 --> 00:04:10.789
this Monday because we do weekly uploads there

00:04:10.789 --> 00:04:15.669
It's a dream daddy a dad dating simulator And

00:04:15.669 --> 00:04:18.009
we have of course the dad rector is cut only

00:04:18.009 --> 00:04:20.790
the finest only the finest on a and m gaming

00:04:20.790 --> 00:04:24.610
And it's it's awesome. We've got this little

00:04:24.610 --> 00:04:29.029
unspoken rule where we trade off who voices who

00:04:29.029 --> 00:04:32.310
in terms of when they show up in the game. Yeah.

00:04:32.649 --> 00:04:36.410
And oftentimes the dialogue box will show up

00:04:36.410 --> 00:04:38.769
before the character shows up on screen. This

00:04:38.769 --> 00:04:41.569
is true. So we blindly give these characters

00:04:41.569 --> 00:04:43.589
a voice and then when they show up on screen,

00:04:43.610 --> 00:04:46.269
it's either like, oh cool, that totally works.

00:04:46.870 --> 00:04:49.329
Or it's this embarrassing like, oh God, I can't

00:04:49.329 --> 00:04:52.870
believe I've made this blunder. But it's set

00:04:52.870 --> 00:04:56.000
in stone. There's no changing it now. I'm not

00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.639
going to lie. The teacher is teenage daughter,

00:05:00.819 --> 00:05:02.600
who I'm the teenage daughter, by the way. My

00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.839
son is the dad. Correct. Which makes all the

00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.420
sense in the world. It tracks. It definitely

00:05:07.420 --> 00:05:10.300
does. So we had that dialogue box before we saw

00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:14.600
the teacher. So Mr. Vega. Mr. Vega. Yep. So I'm

00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.240
like, oh, I got this. Yeah. You know, Mr. Vega.

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.660
So I'm doing Christopher Walken. Yeah. And Mr.

00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:25.519
Vega is this scrumptious -looking, Spanish -looking

00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.680
dude. And I'm like, I'm so glad I went with walking.

00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.920
I'm so glad. Two great flavors that go great

00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.800
together. It's just amazing. But we're having

00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.980
a lot of fun with it. So we hope you guys tune

00:05:36.980 --> 00:05:41.839
in. Coming up will be the third episode. So we're

00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.259
going to see if Dad can. can get lucky. Yeah.

00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.560
Exactly. Or find love or whatever happens to

00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.139
them. I don't know. Right. We don't know the

00:05:49.139 --> 00:05:51.480
story yet. We don't know the story. Yeah. So

00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.279
it'll be interesting. It'll be bueno. Yeah. Most

00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.540
definitely. So I guess it's worth mentioning,

00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.019
because we always start out with our opening

00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:05.879
dialogue, that this is kind of one of the saddest

00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:10.230
times in American history. And When you think

00:06:10.230 --> 00:06:13.790
about it, it's just what war, civil unrest, economic

00:06:13.790 --> 00:06:17.069
uncertainty, homelessness, health crisis, but

00:06:17.069 --> 00:06:19.490
overall just kind of a very doubtful future.

00:06:19.750 --> 00:06:24.790
Right. This is affecting everyone at some level,

00:06:24.829 --> 00:06:29.589
but I feel is really taking its toll on the youth

00:06:29.589 --> 00:06:34.389
of the nation. And they typically have a pretty

00:06:34.389 --> 00:06:37.689
pessimistic view on life as it is. They kind

00:06:37.689 --> 00:06:40.509
of disassociate from society and dwell on their

00:06:40.509 --> 00:06:42.629
hopelessness and that's why they listen to emo

00:06:42.629 --> 00:06:45.670
and all that kind of like, I get it. You know,

00:06:45.810 --> 00:06:47.709
things like going to college, buying a home,

00:06:47.829 --> 00:06:50.129
starting a family are like the furthest thing

00:06:50.129 --> 00:06:53.470
from their minds. In 1950, the average number

00:06:53.470 --> 00:06:58.329
of kids per family was 3 .37. In 2000, it went

00:06:58.329 --> 00:07:02.990
down to 2 .05 kids per family. Just at the replacement

00:07:02.990 --> 00:07:08.290
rate. Yep. And then by 2018, It had dropped to

00:07:08.290 --> 00:07:12.750
1 .73. Yep. And there's a reason for that. Is

00:07:12.750 --> 00:07:15.649
it because, hey, procreation isn't fun? Well,

00:07:15.649 --> 00:07:19.029
we all know it's fun. So it's like, hey, people

00:07:19.029 --> 00:07:20.970
just don't want families. Well, we don't know

00:07:20.970 --> 00:07:24.089
that. Right. I'm sure moms and dads would be

00:07:24.089 --> 00:07:25.649
like, hey, it'd be cool to have a couple of tags

00:07:25.649 --> 00:07:29.649
running around here. It's economic. Yep. And

00:07:29.649 --> 00:07:32.310
societal. It's societal and economic. And they're

00:07:32.310 --> 00:07:36.350
just like, I don't feel great. bringing a life

00:07:36.350 --> 00:07:39.910
into this. Right. And to me, I look at that as

00:07:39.910 --> 00:07:42.850
responsible. I'm like, you can't argue their

00:07:42.850 --> 00:07:47.449
point. Right. So it's pretty heavy stuff. And

00:07:47.449 --> 00:07:51.449
so it's dangerous times for today's youth and

00:07:51.449 --> 00:07:54.230
quite dangerous for the future of this country.

00:07:55.170 --> 00:07:58.089
And, you know, in the question, like, what's

00:07:58.089 --> 00:08:01.779
going on, like, at a deeper level? And some of

00:08:01.779 --> 00:08:04.920
these things we've talked about but haven't really

00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:09.300
directed it towards this. But for example, like

00:08:09.300 --> 00:08:11.439
adolescent depression is increasing at alarming

00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.920
rate. So recent surveys indicate as many as one

00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.220
in five teens suffers from clinical depression.

00:08:18.180 --> 00:08:22.160
This is a serious problem and it calls for prompt

00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.379
appropriate treatment. Teen depression is serious.

00:08:26.339 --> 00:08:28.800
Persistent illness causes intense sadness and

00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.409
hopelessness, anger. Leading to withdrawal, loss

00:08:32.409 --> 00:08:35.110
of interest, poor school performance, change

00:08:35.110 --> 00:08:38.730
in sleep appetite, often stemming from genetic

00:08:38.730 --> 00:08:42.610
stress, trauma, brain chemistry. It's treatable

00:08:42.610 --> 00:08:45.090
with therapy and sometimes medication, requiring

00:08:45.090 --> 00:08:47.889
immediate help for suicidal thoughts, but key

00:08:47.889 --> 00:08:50.909
signs include irritability and worthlessness,

00:08:51.210 --> 00:08:54.590
fatigue, self -harm talk and social isolation,

00:08:55.110 --> 00:08:59.700
differing from normal moodiness. So a lot of

00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:03.379
these symptoms you can see in kids today. There's

00:09:03.379 --> 00:09:04.740
a few different ways you can look at it. You

00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:07.299
look at it emotionally. It's like persistent

00:09:07.299 --> 00:09:10.299
sadness or irritability, anger, emptiness, guilt,

00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:14.000
worthlessness, hopelessness, extreme sensitivity

00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:18.360
to failure and loss of pleasure. You look at

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.700
behavioral. So that's more like withdrawing from

00:09:21.700 --> 00:09:24.379
their friends and family, or their grades are

00:09:24.379 --> 00:09:28.960
dropping. We talk about fatigue. Changes in sleep,

00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:31.659
either insomnia, they can't sleep, or oversleeping.

00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.460
You know, they're doing 10, 11, 12 hours of sleep.

00:09:34.299 --> 00:09:36.639
Changes in their appetite or their weight. So

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.059
they could be dropping a lot of weight, or they

00:09:38.059 --> 00:09:40.960
could be adding a lot of weight. And then risky

00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:45.120
behaviors, like drugs and alcohol. And then there's

00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.620
cognitive. So you have difficulty concentrating,

00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:51.899
making decisions or remembering. Negative self

00:09:51.899 --> 00:09:55.600
-criticism, thoughts of death or suicide. And...

00:09:55.629 --> 00:09:57.610
you know, genetics, of course. So if there's

00:09:57.610 --> 00:10:01.110
a family history of depression, brain chemistry

00:10:01.110 --> 00:10:03.309
or biology. So there could be hormonal changes,

00:10:03.509 --> 00:10:05.210
brain chemistry and balances, that kind of stuff.

00:10:05.889 --> 00:10:08.809
Environmental, which is kind of what we're getting

00:10:08.809 --> 00:10:10.929
at as well. You know, trauma, abuse, bullying,

00:10:11.429 --> 00:10:14.149
family conflicts, stressful life events. Right.

00:10:14.610 --> 00:10:16.710
Stressful life events. Holy hell. Like for most

00:10:16.710 --> 00:10:19.929
people, other conditions could be like co -occurring

00:10:19.929 --> 00:10:22.870
anxiety and eating disorders and chronic illness.

00:10:23.809 --> 00:10:28.679
Excuse me. In 2022, about one in three high school

00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.179
seniors, one in five sophomores, and one in 10

00:10:32.179 --> 00:10:37.259
eighth graders reported using an illicit substance

00:10:37.259 --> 00:10:41.080
in the past year. So one thing leading to another

00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.100
as we kind of talked about the substance abuse,

00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:47.980
right? So substance use during adolescence is

00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:50.429
particularly dangerous because of psychoactive

00:10:50.429 --> 00:10:52.769
substances, including like nicotine, cannabis,

00:10:53.009 --> 00:10:55.649
alcohol, can interfere with healthy brain development.

00:10:56.269 --> 00:10:59.470
Young people who use substances early and frequently

00:10:59.470 --> 00:11:02.370
also face higher risk of developing a substance

00:11:02.370 --> 00:11:11.370
use disorder in adulthood. Kids who avoid regular

00:11:11.370 --> 00:11:14.250
substance abuse are more likely to succeed in

00:11:14.250 --> 00:11:17.210
school, avoid problems with the juvenile justice

00:11:17.210 --> 00:11:20.759
system, etc. Interestingly enough, alcohol use

00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.419
in minors has actually decreased, but the use

00:11:24.419 --> 00:11:27.039
of psychedelics and cannabis has greatly increased.

00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:31.100
Right. So, they're just, they're using something

00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:33.500
different to kill the pain. It's not like, oh

00:11:33.500 --> 00:11:35.820
good, alcohol use has dropped. It's like, okay,

00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:41.919
yes, but. Right, caveat. Right, exactly. So,

00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:47.220
you know, that is all part of numbing yourself.

00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:49.960
And for some, hey, is it just having a good time,

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:51.080
your friends are coming over, you're gonna hang

00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:53.659
in your basement, you're gonna hit the pen and

00:11:53.659 --> 00:11:55.720
just chill and watch a bad movie and eat pizza.

00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.980
It might be as simple as that. But there's those

00:11:58.980 --> 00:12:01.659
that have to hit the pen all day. Right, depend

00:12:01.659 --> 00:12:06.240
on it for their own wellbeing, if you will. Right,

00:12:06.539 --> 00:12:08.399
they're just like, I gotta keep level to get

00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:10.179
through today. Right. This is gonna help me do

00:12:10.179 --> 00:12:14.659
that. Right. Because without it, they're not

00:12:14.659 --> 00:12:17.620
in good shape. Right. And as we mentioned, there's

00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:20.100
kind of the mental health and depression and

00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:22.620
suicide. So like suicide is the second leading

00:12:22.620 --> 00:12:26.720
cause of death for ages 10 to 34. Number two.

00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:30.519
Right. The leading cause, interestingly enough,

00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:32.919
you're talking about stresses. The number one

00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:38.220
cause, guns. Yep. Guns. And then suicide. It's

00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:43.360
crazy. 2024 survey found 10 .1%. Adolescents

00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.899
12 to 17 had serious suicidal thoughts in the

00:12:46.899 --> 00:12:52.919
past year with LGBTQ plus youth and females at

00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.580
a higher risk. Depression, substance abuse, suicide.

00:12:57.220 --> 00:12:59.779
What can be done? You know, you kind of look

00:12:59.779 --> 00:13:03.659
at this and this country's future kind of depends

00:13:03.659 --> 00:13:06.299
on this. Kind of depends on us being like, okay,

00:13:06.700 --> 00:13:09.539
this is going on. What are some things that we

00:13:09.539 --> 00:13:13.710
can do? to either lessen this or fix it or who

00:13:13.710 --> 00:13:16.990
knows. Right. But it's a problem. It's a major

00:13:16.990 --> 00:13:20.190
problem because when I'm super old and gray,

00:13:20.750 --> 00:13:23.210
although that's never going to happen, when I

00:13:23.210 --> 00:13:26.590
get super old and gray and this guy becomes my

00:13:26.590 --> 00:13:29.610
age, they're the ones in the workforce. They're

00:13:29.610 --> 00:13:32.929
the ones becoming managers and like advancing

00:13:32.929 --> 00:13:36.919
their careers. But if they're at this point in

00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:38.759
their life, and this is how they're feeling,

00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:42.120
and this is behavioral, this is how they are,

00:13:43.220 --> 00:13:45.360
is that a healthy culture? Is that a healthy

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.659
country? No. I don't think so. No, not at all.

00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.580
And as you were mentioning throughout history

00:13:51.580 --> 00:13:56.419
from whether the 50s or the 70s until now, all

00:13:56.419 --> 00:14:00.600
of these concerning statistics are rising. Right.

00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:04.950
And likely continue to rise. due to, I mean you

00:14:04.950 --> 00:14:09.649
could look at the micro problems such as the

00:14:09.649 --> 00:14:11.850
negative influence social media has on mental

00:14:11.850 --> 00:14:18.049
states as well as schools being understaffed

00:14:18.049 --> 00:14:20.690
and teachers being underpaid. You could look

00:14:20.690 --> 00:14:24.090
at macro problems such as the state of the country.

00:14:24.669 --> 00:14:30.250
Like what do children or teenagers actually have

00:14:30.250 --> 00:14:33.440
to look forward to? Honestly. What do they have

00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.860
to look forward to? You're gonna turn 18, well,

00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.179
26, if your parents have healthcare, but you're

00:14:39.179 --> 00:14:42.960
gonna turn 18 unable to afford healthcare. College

00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:46.580
is gonna put you $50 ,000 in debt, which is gonna

00:14:46.580 --> 00:14:50.039
be $150 ,000 if you pay it off over a couple

00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.220
decades. I mean, the workforce, the working class

00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:59.159
of America is being shit on daily with cost of

00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:02.840
living and cost of goods. ever growing while

00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.860
wages continue to stagnate or drop in some cases,

00:15:06.980 --> 00:15:10.039
what do school kids these days have to look forward

00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:13.759
to? Right, exactly. And then you have other problems

00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:19.080
such as the certain politicians in charge of

00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.759
the country literally being in the Epstein files,

00:15:23.220 --> 00:15:26.919
raping children, killing children. Right. I mean,

00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.480
just doing the most heinous shit. And what's

00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:31.879
the punishment? I mean, if you're in the wrong

00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:33.659
state and you've got a gram of weed on you, you

00:15:33.659 --> 00:15:36.580
could go away for ten years. Correct. But if

00:15:36.580 --> 00:15:39.200
you're a billionaire who rapes kids, eh, you

00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.039
know, there's no reason to investigate. We got

00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:44.080
the files out. I mean, our job is done. Yeah.

00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.039
Honestly, like, can you blame any of the kids

00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:51.279
in this scenario? Hell no. No, you can't. Hell

00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:54.480
no. Whether on a micro scale or macro scale,

00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:59.120
looking at the problems is imperative because...

00:15:58.970 --> 00:16:05.370
these disturbing suicide statistics and substance

00:16:05.370 --> 00:16:09.649
abuse statistics and the mental well -being of

00:16:09.649 --> 00:16:13.570
people under the age of 20 being so terrible,

00:16:14.470 --> 00:16:18.129
that's the symptom. That's not the problem, that's

00:16:18.129 --> 00:16:22.649
the symptom of the problem. Being both macro

00:16:22.649 --> 00:16:25.049
and micro problems, these stats we've brought

00:16:25.049 --> 00:16:28.539
up in the last 10 minutes are symptoms of a much

00:16:28.539 --> 00:16:34.700
larger problem. Oh, 100%. Yeah. And it, as I

00:16:34.700 --> 00:16:38.679
said, it just it doesn't bode well for the future.

00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:44.980
And I don't think the solution or solutions are

00:16:44.980 --> 00:16:48.980
easy ones. I really don't, because the only ones

00:16:48.980 --> 00:16:54.100
that can help make a change don't want to. Right.

00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:57.080
So if you're talking, for example, about Congress

00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:00.120
and they can make things easier in terms of health

00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.299
care, for example, mental health care, all of

00:17:02.299 --> 00:17:04.980
that, and they choose not to, and they choose

00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:08.960
to cut there. Well, then that's a problem because

00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.359
you've got tens of thousands, maybe hundreds

00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:13.819
of thousands of kids who can't get the help that

00:17:13.819 --> 00:17:17.259
they need. Right. And so just, for example, I

00:17:17.259 --> 00:17:19.539
just had a friend and I've been texting her all

00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:22.799
week and thought she had a bad cold, she had

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.799
a fever, whatever. And and so she's like on day

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.740
seven, eight, nine. And I think she's got pneumonia

00:17:29.740 --> 00:17:31.539
because she was like giving me her all of her

00:17:31.539 --> 00:17:34.720
symptoms. Right. And I've had it once before,

00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.460
maybe twice. But it was kind of around covid

00:17:37.460 --> 00:17:39.019
time. I think it might have been another bout

00:17:39.019 --> 00:17:42.920
of covid to be completely honest. But I remember

00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:47.500
having pneumonia as a teenager and it put me

00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:50.789
down for two weeks. Yeah. But I went to the doctor

00:17:50.789 --> 00:17:54.430
like twice and I had medicine and I had things

00:17:54.430 --> 00:17:57.950
that I had to do to clear my lungs So the pressure

00:17:57.950 --> 00:18:00.150
wasn't in there so they wouldn't hurt as much

00:18:00.150 --> 00:18:02.690
like there were just things to do because you

00:18:02.690 --> 00:18:06.130
have pneumonia your lungs fill up and They hurt

00:18:06.130 --> 00:18:08.589
and it hurts to breathe and you can't lay down.

00:18:08.789 --> 00:18:12.410
You have to sleep sitting up. It's their pneumonia

00:18:12.410 --> 00:18:15.930
sucks It's reason why people still die from it.

00:18:15.930 --> 00:18:20.910
It sucks and She can't Go to the doctor. She's

00:18:20.910 --> 00:18:23.630
got to ride this out. Right. I just think that's

00:18:23.630 --> 00:18:27.250
insane. Yeah. So when you look at things like

00:18:27.250 --> 00:18:29.650
that, people needing regular health care, needing

00:18:29.650 --> 00:18:31.890
mental health care, not being able to get it,

00:18:32.289 --> 00:18:34.470
Congress not wanting to do anything. That's a

00:18:34.470 --> 00:18:36.990
huge problem. That's a massive, massive problem.

00:18:37.289 --> 00:18:39.009
Like, look, you don't want to provide universal

00:18:39.009 --> 00:18:42.029
health care for everyone. Fine. F off. It is

00:18:42.029 --> 00:18:44.849
what it is. At least take care of the kids. Take

00:18:44.849 --> 00:18:48.750
care of the kids. And, you know, you've got...

00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.339
Medicare and Medicaid, but you guys have already

00:18:51.339 --> 00:18:54.359
gashed that. So it's like how much is still remaining

00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:57.200
when people get older and they need help. And

00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:59.339
then people need, quote unquote, supplemental

00:18:59.339 --> 00:19:01.460
insurance. They should need supplemental insurance.

00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:04.900
They've worked their life. Give them a doctor

00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:07.380
appointment for Christ's sake. Right. It's asinine.

00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.099
It's absolutely unreal. So, you know, you look

00:19:11.099 --> 00:19:13.180
at where we're at today and how the youth is

00:19:13.180 --> 00:19:16.180
feeling. And those are just some of the reasons.

00:19:16.670 --> 00:19:19.230
why some of that is happening. The fact that

00:19:19.230 --> 00:19:21.769
we're taxed at a certain rate and billionaires

00:19:21.769 --> 00:19:24.430
don't get taxed. Right. How the hell does that

00:19:24.430 --> 00:19:28.769
work? You'd be able to fund a health care system

00:19:28.769 --> 00:19:32.769
if the billionaires paid their share. Right.

00:19:33.089 --> 00:19:35.470
And corporations paid their share. Right. I'm

00:19:35.470 --> 00:19:38.470
not saying take everything. People have a right

00:19:38.470 --> 00:19:41.170
to profit and have a healthy business and all

00:19:41.170 --> 00:19:44.750
of that. That's not a problem. But just pay your

00:19:44.750 --> 00:19:47.059
fair share. Right, there's no reason that the

00:19:47.059 --> 00:19:49.460
richest man in the world right now, as of today,

00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:53.220
should be worth over $830 billion. No reason.

00:19:53.299 --> 00:19:57.480
That number doesn't even make sense as a quantity

00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.980
of wealth to own. Nope, it doesn't. There's nothing,

00:20:01.220 --> 00:20:03.460
what do you do with that? You could do anything

00:20:03.460 --> 00:20:05.799
and he does nothing. Right, you could buy an

00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:09.440
island, you buy country. Right. Yeah. Or you

00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.319
could provide healthcare for every American.

00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:13.480
Or you could do that. You could house every homeless

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:16.599
person. and you'd still be a cent -a -billionaire,

00:20:16.859 --> 00:20:19.680
right? Like, for example, the richest ten people

00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:22.079
in this country, if they got together and said,

00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:24.640
hey, we don't want to pay any tax, but here's

00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:28.740
what we'll do. We'll take 40 % of everything

00:20:28.740 --> 00:20:31.359
we made each and every year, we're gonna put

00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:33.200
it into a pool, and that'll create like a healthcare

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.619
thing. That would fund it. That would fund it,

00:20:36.660 --> 00:20:41.259
right. It would be funded. So, it's a choice.

00:20:41.710 --> 00:20:44.670
Right billionaires literally let people die to

00:20:44.670 --> 00:20:47.289
continue profiting. Yeah as a choice That is

00:20:47.289 --> 00:20:50.609
a choice they make right and that's some of the

00:20:50.609 --> 00:20:52.789
environmental stuff We're talking about and right

00:20:52.789 --> 00:20:57.710
can see this and every kid first of all, I think

00:20:57.710 --> 00:21:01.509
the older generation Doesn't think much of them

00:21:01.509 --> 00:21:03.670
and thinks they're stupid and here's the thing.

00:21:03.730 --> 00:21:06.730
They're not they know better Which is why they're

00:21:06.730 --> 00:21:11.009
sad because they realize that the game is rigged

00:21:10.750 --> 00:21:13.450
And that they can never achieve what they want

00:21:13.450 --> 00:21:16.009
to achieve. They'd be like, yeah, it'd be really

00:21:16.009 --> 00:21:18.569
great to meet someone and fall in love. And maybe

00:21:18.569 --> 00:21:20.750
have a kid or two. Have a white pig fence, have

00:21:20.750 --> 00:21:23.509
a dog, have a cat. Right. You know, take a vacation

00:21:23.509 --> 00:21:26.329
every year. You know, have a decent house. Something

00:21:26.329 --> 00:21:29.269
with walls and a kitchen and a bath. You know,

00:21:29.390 --> 00:21:32.069
and a car that runs, I don't have to get fixed

00:21:32.069 --> 00:21:34.849
every other month. Right. Is that too much to

00:21:34.849 --> 00:21:37.930
ask? It shouldn't be. Right, and there's a reason.

00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:42.640
why baby boomers have that just in, and of course

00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.000
I'm generalizing here, so take this with a grain

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.980
of salt, but when I say baby boomers, you know

00:21:47.980 --> 00:21:50.839
exactly who I'm talking about, have this sense

00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:53.579
of entitlement of, oh, we did better, and we

00:21:53.579 --> 00:21:56.940
know better, we knew better. You grew up in the

00:21:56.940 --> 00:21:59.880
50s and 60s during the golden age of American

00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:04.460
manufacturing, when the post -war earth in Europe

00:22:04.460 --> 00:22:07.599
and in Asia were rebuilding their factories,

00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.680
We still had ours. Yeah. You grew up in the best

00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:14.579
economy this country will ever know, and you

00:22:14.579 --> 00:22:17.960
still have the entitlement to tell kids these

00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:20.660
days that, oh, they're just not doing enough.

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:22.980
Just tighten your bootstraps. Right, pull yourself

00:22:22.980 --> 00:22:25.160
up by your bootstraps. Yeah, look up the full

00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:27.299
quote, and you'll see how fucking stupid you

00:22:27.299 --> 00:22:30.619
sound when you quote that. Yeah. It's... You're

00:22:30.619 --> 00:22:34.259
an asshole. Yeah. Yeah. It's as simple as that.

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:37.480
100%. And these are the people in charge of the

00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:39.380
government, and that's the most alarming part,

00:22:39.539 --> 00:22:43.400
is because that's how they grew up, and whether

00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:48.579
through stupidity and ignorance, or through effective

00:22:48.579 --> 00:22:52.059
propaganda, there's an entire generation, the

00:22:52.059 --> 00:22:55.759
wealthiest generation in this country, that just

00:22:55.759 --> 00:23:00.119
cannot put themselves in the shoes of a 20 -year

00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.240
-old today, or a 30 -year -old today. Agreed.

00:23:03.500 --> 00:23:08.069
Absolutely agree. It's unfortunate, and like

00:23:08.069 --> 00:23:11.390
I said, there are ways that this gets improved,

00:23:11.750 --> 00:23:14.390
right? There's changes that can be made at the

00:23:14.390 --> 00:23:16.950
governmental level, changing leadership, maybe

00:23:16.950 --> 00:23:19.150
changing the system, period, and just how it

00:23:19.150 --> 00:23:21.829
works. Oh, yeah, that's a necessity. To benefit

00:23:21.829 --> 00:23:25.250
people and not companies and billionaires. I

00:23:25.250 --> 00:23:28.109
really believe that. That would probably make

00:23:28.109 --> 00:23:31.230
a huge change. Very, very strict gun laws, I

00:23:31.230 --> 00:23:33.420
think, would help a lot. We just had a bar that

00:23:33.420 --> 00:23:36.099
was shut up here. We're in Valparaiso, Indiana,

00:23:36.380 --> 00:23:38.579
okay? And I know we mentioned that before, so

00:23:38.579 --> 00:23:40.700
I'm sure you guys know. Some of you noobs might.

00:23:41.140 --> 00:23:44.299
But it's basically Chicagoland. It's like northwest

00:23:44.299 --> 00:23:47.680
Indiana. But we're kinda on the edge a little

00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:51.119
bit. We're near Cornville and Soybeanville and

00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:53.519
all that. We're not too far removed from that.

00:23:54.500 --> 00:23:58.799
But, like, that type of stuff normally doesn't

00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:01.890
happen here. 20 years ago, never happened here.

00:24:01.910 --> 00:24:06.309
Right. But now, like two weeks ago, there was

00:24:06.309 --> 00:24:10.190
a bar and every cop in town was in there. And

00:24:10.190 --> 00:24:12.589
apparently some guy brandished a weapon and there

00:24:12.589 --> 00:24:16.670
was chaos. And last night, which would have been

00:24:16.670 --> 00:24:21.309
a Friday night, there were shots fired at a local

00:24:21.309 --> 00:24:23.869
bar and they just shut it down and chase people

00:24:23.869 --> 00:24:27.289
out of there. It's out of control. Yeah. It's

00:24:27.289 --> 00:24:30.250
out of, all of it is out of control. So, you

00:24:30.250 --> 00:24:32.509
know, you want to sit there, and you're proud

00:24:32.509 --> 00:24:36.529
of being American, and then be that guy. Well,

00:24:36.890 --> 00:24:39.609
take a long walk off a short pier. That's all

00:24:39.609 --> 00:24:43.549
I got for you, because you're just, no, America's

00:24:43.549 --> 00:24:47.470
not the great, there's that, oh God, I'm trying

00:24:47.470 --> 00:24:50.309
to think of that, Jeff Daniels. I'm not sure

00:24:50.309 --> 00:24:53.109
what show it was from. I think it was like a

00:24:53.109 --> 00:24:56.470
show about, Like he's like a TV network guy or

00:24:56.470 --> 00:24:58.890
something like that. But like this college girl

00:24:58.890 --> 00:25:00.730
asked him a question why the America is the greatest

00:25:00.730 --> 00:25:02.950
country in the world. He goes on this rant about

00:25:02.950 --> 00:25:06.049
why it's not. Yeah. Yeah. And it's a great rant.

00:25:06.109 --> 00:25:08.250
If you haven't seen it, just look up like Jeff

00:25:08.250 --> 00:25:11.710
Daniels rant. I'm sure you can find it. But like

00:25:11.710 --> 00:25:13.670
it was perfect. Like the first time I saw that,

00:25:13.690 --> 00:25:16.509
I was like, oh, my God. I'm like the balls it

00:25:16.509 --> 00:25:19.269
would take for a real politician to stand up

00:25:19.269 --> 00:25:22.700
and say, right. But it's true. It's absolutely

00:25:22.700 --> 00:25:24.700
true. It was the last time the Olympics happened

00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:27.880
and we got booed. Right. We're the bad guys.

00:25:27.940 --> 00:25:31.559
We are now the bad guys. Yeah. So there's a lot

00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:35.559
going on. So as you can see, guys, we're going

00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:38.319
to have to deal with it as I age out and then

00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:42.299
Aiden eventually ages out. We're going to get

00:25:42.299 --> 00:25:45.119
what's on, what's incoming. We're going to get

00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:49.380
that. But the under 30 crowd, the 20s and teens

00:25:49.380 --> 00:25:51.859
and kids, you're going to live it. You're going

00:25:51.859 --> 00:25:53.660
to live it the rest of your life, man. Right.

00:25:53.700 --> 00:25:58.559
I feel bad about it. So, hey, hit us up in the

00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:01.900
DMs. You have solutions to this crazy shit going

00:26:01.900 --> 00:26:05.319
on. Let us know. Maybe you're smarter than we

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:07.799
are. But I know it's kind of disappointing and

00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:12.920
it's sad. So while Gen Z and was it Gen Alpha?

00:26:13.579 --> 00:26:17.039
Yeah, Gen Alpha, I think, are just kids. Yeah,

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:19.640
they're the most screwed, to be completely honest.

00:26:20.299 --> 00:26:25.920
But. Yeah, I Millennials have very little in

00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:27.799
common with them Gen X. We have almost nothing

00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:31.180
in common, but yet I understand them, right?

00:26:31.299 --> 00:26:32.759
I understand where they're at and what's going

00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:37.839
on, but hey Let's hope let's hope even baby steps

00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:40.259
at the end of this year We start moving in the

00:26:40.259 --> 00:26:42.920
right direction because we got to yeah, it's

00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:46.119
it's for survival now, right? It really is. All

00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:50.180
right. Well, sorry to be a downer guys but You

00:26:50.180 --> 00:26:52.359
know, we look at things for what they are. Yep.

00:26:52.779 --> 00:26:55.440
And we like to talk about them and interact with

00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:58.200
you guys at times. So we're going to take a quick

00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:00.680
break and we're going to come back. We're going

00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:02.440
to try to lighten things up a little bit. We're

00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:03.940
going to start having a little fun with a little

00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:12.440
carp idea. All right. We are back, everybody.

00:27:13.220 --> 00:27:15.900
This is Mark Maloney. To my left, your right,

00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:18.599
maybe above you, maybe below you. You don't know.

00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:20.700
If you listen in Australia, I'm probably upside

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:23.039
down. Could very well be. I know you spin the

00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:28.180
other way. It is Aidan Maloney. And yeah, time

we could be influenced. Yes, we could be that

00:27:45.269 --> 00:27:49.730
corporate capitalistic scumbag and say, wow,

00:27:50.130 --> 00:27:56.829
at Jerry does Jan dot com dot org dot edu. It's

00:27:56.829 --> 00:27:58.470
a beautiful question. I would love to answer

00:27:58.470 --> 00:28:04.390
that for you. Daddy to you. That one hit me late.

00:28:05.849 --> 00:28:08.950
He had legs in there a little bit. Kind of lags.

00:28:09.289 --> 00:28:11.509
He had that bait on the hook just for a little

00:28:11.509 --> 00:28:13.130
bit. He's like, is this guy going to bite or

00:28:13.130 --> 00:28:19.430
what? Is this thing on? He's like, hello. Anyway.

00:28:21.470 --> 00:28:25.250
So. What was I talking about? Anyway. We can

00:28:25.250 --> 00:28:27.890
be influenced. Yeah, in layman's terms. Put cash

00:28:27.890 --> 00:28:33.250
in hand. Our hand. Get answer question. For you.

00:28:33.450 --> 00:28:37.450
For you. That's direct. Yeah. I like that. That's

00:28:37.450 --> 00:28:40.049
good. I mean, if the Supreme Court justices can

00:28:40.049 --> 00:28:43.309
be that direct, I guess I can too. Exactly. For

00:28:43.309 --> 00:28:48.210
sure. Well, anyway, here we go. My first one.

00:28:48.670 --> 00:28:50.950
This is going to bring back some memories. At

00:28:50.950 --> 00:28:55.759
GamerKidTim. Oh wow, yeah. Should I read it as

00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:59.299
GamerKidTim? How old do you think GamerKidTim

00:28:59.299 --> 00:29:03.440
is now? Like he checked into the show years ago,

00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:05.619
right? Yeah, and he was what, 8, 9, 10 then?

00:29:06.740 --> 00:29:09.079
Yeah. He's probably one of those struggling teens.

00:29:09.339 --> 00:29:12.240
Yeah, probably still prepubescent sounding, I'd

00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:14.599
imagine. No offense. GamerKid, hopefully you're

00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:17.279
not hitting the pen every day, but if you are...

00:29:17.049 --> 00:29:21.589
We understand. Taking a blinky off the Benjamin.

00:29:23.589 --> 00:29:28.910
So let me do it as GamerKidTim. Hey losers! I

00:29:28.910 --> 00:29:32.549
still rule the school at Fortnite. When are you

00:29:32.549 --> 00:29:35.670
guys gonna play that on your A &M gaming channel?

00:29:36.210 --> 00:29:40.230
Scared? Okay, Timothy. Can I call you Timothy?

00:29:40.549 --> 00:29:45.329
I'm gonna call you Timothy. Yeah, I don't know

00:29:45.329 --> 00:29:48.369
if Fortnite is really A &M's cup of tea. I've

00:29:48.369 --> 00:29:51.369
been asked before on Aiden's Boat the Right Way

00:29:51.369 --> 00:29:56.930
if I ever wanted to play TF2, which I don't even

00:29:56.930 --> 00:30:00.490
know if that's my cup of tea. Turtle Fancy? Yeah,

00:30:00.569 --> 00:30:03.930
Turtle Fancy the sequel. Ah, got it. The seduction.

00:30:05.130 --> 00:30:10.910
The squeak -wool. See folks we go off the rails

00:30:10.910 --> 00:30:13.529
like we're all serious for like 20 minutes, and

00:30:13.529 --> 00:30:16.349
this is all downhill from there Yeah, team fortress

00:30:16.349 --> 00:30:19.869
to fortnight. I I just don't know if that fits

00:30:19.869 --> 00:30:24.210
into our repertoire Necessarily yeah on our channel

00:30:24.210 --> 00:30:29.569
or on my channel, so I Yeah, yeah, maybe if fortnight

00:30:29.569 --> 00:30:34.029
decided to sponsor a video We would play it maybe

00:30:34.029 --> 00:30:38.910
yeah, yeah not In my opinion, that's a likely

00:30:38.910 --> 00:30:41.769
no. Yeah, I would agree. Yeah. And it's not because

00:30:41.769 --> 00:30:43.910
we're scared. It's because we're scared of not

00:30:43.910 --> 00:30:51.329
having fun. That is valid. That is valid. At

00:30:51.329 --> 00:30:55.670
Frankie the Felon. Oh, boy. Listen to you. This

00:30:55.670 --> 00:30:58.609
is good. Listen to you guys in jail. Pretty interesting

00:30:58.609 --> 00:31:01.750
stuff, even for a lowlife like me. Oh, don't

00:31:01.750 --> 00:31:03.309
be so hard on yourself, Frank. I know, right?

00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:06.460
So what advice do you have for a 30 -something

00:31:06.460 --> 00:31:09.599
year old guy who has largely fucked up his life

00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.559
but is trying to unfuck it? Well, if you're listening

00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:15.000
from jail, I would say... You're on the right

00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.319
path. Yeah, you're on the right path. And probably

00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:20.359
try not to do anything in there that would extend

00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:24.740
your sentence. Yeah, no drugs, no violence. Yeah,

00:31:25.019 --> 00:31:28.319
yeah. Maybe try and make friends with the guards

00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:31.799
or something. Yeah, I don't know I Volunteer

00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:34.720
do chores do good things. Yeah, right try and

00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:36.920
get a little moolah get a skill if you can while

00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:39.460
you're in there Yeah, do some reading. Yeah,

00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:41.640
do some reading do some online research if they

00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:47.519
allow such a thing stay educated After that shit,

00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:49.819
I don't know man If you listen to the open of

00:31:49.819 --> 00:31:51.740
this show, you know how hard things are, and

00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:54.460
it's probably even harder for an ex -con, so.

00:31:54.619 --> 00:31:57.059
I would imagine so, yeah. So I would just say

00:31:57.059 --> 00:32:01.539
keep your head up. Yeah. And be open to everything.

00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:05.819
And what I mean by that is, you know, you might

00:32:05.819 --> 00:32:07.599
be, I don't know, we don't know much about you,

00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:11.480
maybe you're from the city, work on a farm, just

00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:14.640
like remove yourself from everything that you

00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:19.420
used to know that... You would potentially fall

00:32:19.420 --> 00:32:22.700
back into bad habits or with bad people. Yeah,

00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:24.960
remove yourself from whatever that environment

00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:27.720
was beforehand Do something completely different

00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:29.539
move to a little rural town of 2 ,000 people

00:32:29.539 --> 00:32:32.279
work in a country store work work in a farm farm

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:35.319
hands get paid well and Rural houses are cheap.

00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:37.859
So if if you're looking to start somewhere start

00:32:37.859 --> 00:32:40.220
there. Yep, that'd be my suggestion Yeah, it's

00:32:40.220 --> 00:32:44.380
a good idea. Oh Man, another throwback at Jimmy

00:32:44.380 --> 00:32:47.759
bag of donuts. Oh, man And I will read this as

00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:51.279
Jimmy. Sure. Hey there, guys. Soda Bulls traded

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:54.500
like most of their good players for bags of trash.

00:32:55.180 --> 00:32:57.819
What's going on? We've been rebuilding for almost

00:32:57.819 --> 00:33:02.940
30 years, my friends. Well, yeah, unless you

00:33:02.940 --> 00:33:07.000
can find the Ben Johnson of basketball. Yeah.

00:33:07.019 --> 00:33:09.339
I mean, the Bears were rebuilding for 30 some

00:33:09.339 --> 00:33:13.059
odd years also. So true. Good point. Not real

00:33:13.059 --> 00:33:15.200
heavy into the NBA. I love the Bulls, but I'm

00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:19.079
not a huge NBA fan, necessarily. So I can only

00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:23.519
sympathize with your pain. But... I... I don't

00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:26.180
know, find a secondary team to root for? Yeah.

00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:29.480
Cheer for the Phoenix Suns or something? Yeah,

00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:32.380
maybe a different team. Denver Nuggets. That's

00:33:32.380 --> 00:33:34.900
a lovely suggestion. Portland Trailblaze. There's

00:33:34.900 --> 00:33:37.519
some other decent teams out there that are fun

00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:39.980
to watch. If you're big into winter sports, maybe

00:33:39.980 --> 00:33:42.559
get into hockey. Hockey. Get yourself one of

00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:46.470
those Hartford Walyers. Ah, yeah. Very cool.

00:33:46.470 --> 00:33:48.170
Those are baller. Those are baller. So good.

00:33:48.190 --> 00:33:50.589
They should go back to Hartford. I agree. Carolina

00:33:50.589 --> 00:33:53.289
Pan... I want some Panthers. Oh, there is a Carolina

00:33:53.289 --> 00:33:54.269
Panthers, but they don't play hockey. There's

00:33:54.269 --> 00:33:56.369
a Florida Panthers, too. And there is a Florida

00:33:56.369 --> 00:33:58.569
Panthers. Neither are related to the Carolina

00:33:58.569 --> 00:34:00.430
Hurricanes. But they should go back to Harvard.

00:34:00.670 --> 00:34:03.470
Yes, I agree. That's what I agree. Jimmy, I got

00:34:03.470 --> 00:34:06.789
nothing for you. The general management of the

00:34:06.789 --> 00:34:09.050
Chicago Bulls, and I'll even say ownership, because

00:34:09.050 --> 00:34:10.710
the people are like, oh my god, I can't understand

00:34:10.710 --> 00:34:12.849
what the Bulls are doing. The owner of the White

00:34:12.849 --> 00:34:17.010
Sox is the owner of the Bulls. I was just about

00:34:17.010 --> 00:34:19.969
to say that. I'm like, if you can draw comparisons

00:34:19.969 --> 00:34:21.650
between the Bulls and the White Sox, there's

00:34:21.650 --> 00:34:24.250
a reason for this. There's a reason why they're

00:34:24.250 --> 00:34:28.329
inept and boring and at best, mediocre. It's

00:34:28.329 --> 00:34:32.739
just not good. Right. It's not good. And so they're

00:34:32.739 --> 00:34:35.699
going to be respectively the worst teams of their

00:34:35.699 --> 00:34:38.500
sport. So it starts at ownership. Then you get

00:34:38.500 --> 00:34:42.320
the general manager who's like, imagine a guy

00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:45.179
sailing a large boat and he's behind the wheel

00:34:45.179 --> 00:34:47.780
and he's incredibly inebriated and blindfolded.

00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:49.739
That's pretty much him. Right. That's pretty

00:34:49.739 --> 00:34:54.199
much him. He's thrown darts in the dark. So they

00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:57.039
have no chance. Matter of fact, just fold up

00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:01.090
shop. Yeah. Open a vegetable market. Right, right.

00:35:01.869 --> 00:35:04.989
Try something different. Jimmy, as a fan, I would

00:35:04.989 --> 00:35:06.909
recommend if you've got the patience, give it

00:35:06.909 --> 00:35:10.829
half a decade and maybe check back in. Check

00:35:10.829 --> 00:35:13.250
back in. Check back in. I doubt much will change

00:35:13.250 --> 00:35:15.829
with that shitty ownership and management. That's

00:35:15.829 --> 00:35:18.730
awful. But, I mean, find a secondary team to

00:35:18.730 --> 00:35:24.130
root for. Yeah, I would. Denver, Seattle, I mean...

00:35:24.130 --> 00:35:27.650
Yeah, anyone. Portland. Yeah. I don't think Seattle

00:35:27.650 --> 00:35:30.090
has a basketball team, but Seattle has a basketball

00:35:30.090 --> 00:35:31.489
team. No, not anymore, but the team that was

00:35:31.489 --> 00:35:33.289
in Seattle went to Oklahoma City and they just

00:35:33.289 --> 00:35:35.210
won the championship last year. Yeah, so. You

00:35:35.210 --> 00:35:36.730
could jump on that bandwagon if you want. It's

00:35:36.730 --> 00:35:39.269
a thought. Yeah. Yeah, just do something. Almost

00:35:39.269 --> 00:35:43.409
anything else. Yeah, right. My last one is from

00:35:43.409 --> 00:35:47.789
at stonerstanley420. My man. Hi Momo and Alan.

00:35:48.730 --> 00:35:53.329
Where did I go? I needed some supplies and hitched

00:35:53.329 --> 00:35:57.960
a ride with a magician named Harvey. Okay, I

00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:00.699
think I'm in Michigan, but I see a palm tree.

00:36:00.699 --> 00:36:12.280
I am missing a shoe, too. Oh, no Wow Doesn't

00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:14.559
doesn't he have a van? Why did he have to hitch

00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:16.840
a ride? You have to ride unless his van isn't

00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:19.800
the veins not working, right? The engine is just

00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:22.900
decrepit falling apart and he's going to Michigan

00:36:22.900 --> 00:36:27.480
to get quote -unquote product Sure, but he's

00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:29.619
where the palm trees are. Now he's seeing palm

00:36:29.619 --> 00:36:31.639
trees. Yeah. And he could just be really high.

00:36:31.860 --> 00:36:34.000
That's true. That's true. He could be high and

00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:35.719
confused. And like staring at some wallpaper

00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:39.079
with a palm tree on it. You know what's crazy?

00:36:39.579 --> 00:36:42.820
Okay, game theory. Yes. What if the magician

00:36:42.820 --> 00:36:47.639
Harvey was in control of the squirrel that's

00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:52.780
been destroying Stain's mental state? for a long

00:36:52.780 --> 00:36:54.460
time, you know, pull rabbit out of a hat. What

00:36:54.460 --> 00:36:56.199
if he just pulled a squirrel and was like, ah,

00:36:56.280 --> 00:36:59.039
go fuck with Stan. And he does. Huzzah, I'm Harvey.

00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:01.679
Right, and now his day is just completely messed

00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:04.079
up. Yeah. He's seeing palm trees. Oh, man, I

00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:06.320
need to get out of here. And then he, Harvey,

00:37:06.900 --> 00:37:09.019
miraculously stumbles onto the scene. What a

00:37:09.019 --> 00:37:11.340
coincidence. What a coincidence. And now he's

00:37:11.340 --> 00:37:13.920
looking at a palm tree with missing a shoe. Yeah.

00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:17.579
Stan, I would just say keep your eyes open. Keep

00:37:17.579 --> 00:37:20.280
your third eye open. We don't know yet if Harvey's

00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:22.460
a bad actor. Yeah, we don't know. No. We really

00:37:22.460 --> 00:37:25.860
don't know. But I'll tell you this. In the rare

00:37:25.860 --> 00:37:30.480
case you're having a bad trip, just look for

00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:33.960
the van down by the river. Right. There might

00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:35.900
be a bed in there for you. Might be a couple

00:37:35.900 --> 00:37:39.420
familiar items. Right. He could just be passed

00:37:39.420 --> 00:37:42.380
out and looking at a weed that looks like a palm

00:37:42.380 --> 00:37:44.820
tree. This is true. I didn't think about that.

00:37:45.019 --> 00:37:48.119
It's very possible. Yeah. What if Harvey was

00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:50.860
a fever dream Harvey could not even be real.

00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:54.119
Yeah, it's very possible. Oh man Yeah, I made

00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:56.079
the assumption that all this is actually happening.

00:37:56.199 --> 00:37:59.199
He could have gotten some spiked product He could

00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:01.780
have like all we know is he hitched a ride. Maybe

00:38:01.780 --> 00:38:04.000
he didn't maybe he hitched a ride But then he

00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:06.719
hitched a ride and then things were smoked or

00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:10.400
taken and then all of that is just one right

00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:11.920
You know what I mean? Yeah, he found a little

00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:14.760
red wagon abandoned in the woods right and he

00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:17.889
was like Oh, yes. I'll hop in, Harvey. Right.

00:38:18.150 --> 00:38:19.809
You know, me, I should have taken the blue pill,

00:38:19.849 --> 00:38:21.670
he took the red pill. Yeah, exactly. He's looking

00:38:21.670 --> 00:38:24.190
at palm trees, missing a shoe. Yeah. It happens.

00:38:24.190 --> 00:38:26.369
It happens. It definitely does. Too frequently.

00:38:27.230 --> 00:38:30.570
You know it. What do you got? I got DMs here

00:38:30.570 --> 00:38:36.010
from at the chef. Would you take $100 ,000? But

00:38:36.010 --> 00:38:39.670
you can't eat hot or cold foods for the next

00:38:39.670 --> 00:38:45.440
five years. Room temp only. Do you accept? How

00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:49.519
much? 100k for five years of room temperature

00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:53.800
food only. Well, there are foods that are room

00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:57.739
temperature. Room temp pizza still holds. Uh,

00:38:57.739 --> 00:38:59.960
most fruits and vegetables are room temperature.

00:38:59.980 --> 00:39:01.719
This is true. Because they're fresh. This is

00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:05.139
true. You'd have to eat, like, leafy greens if

00:39:05.139 --> 00:39:06.559
you want to be healthy. You'd have to eat them

00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:09.699
before they go off. Right. But even at room temp

00:39:09.699 --> 00:39:12.539
they taste fine. Most salads aren't necessarily

00:39:12.539 --> 00:39:15.820
cold. A loaf of bread. Sure butter at room temp

00:39:15.820 --> 00:39:18.739
is perfect for spreading on a loaf of bread.

00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:21.739
Yeah, I Think it could be done. Like you said

00:39:21.739 --> 00:39:24.420
pizza, you know room temperature pizza is fine

00:39:24.420 --> 00:39:26.260
Right because it how many times how many times

00:39:26.260 --> 00:39:28.099
do we eat it when we come home and we're drunk

00:39:28.099 --> 00:39:30.300
or whatever? And then you wake up in the morning

00:39:30.300 --> 00:39:32.860
and you're like, oh, there's a piece left. Yeah,

00:39:32.860 --> 00:39:35.579
eat the pizza. Let's be honest Right, right.

00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:39.639
Yeah, and it chef did not specify either Whether

00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:43.079
or not we could prepare a dish hot and just eat

00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:46.039
at room temp. So you could still make lasagnas

00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:47.860
or pizzas or something. But you have to let it

00:39:47.860 --> 00:39:49.900
cool down. Right, there was, I didn't, I see

00:39:49.900 --> 00:39:51.800
no caveat that says you can't prepare it. I'm

00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:52.940
taking that cash then. Yeah, I'm taking that

00:39:52.940 --> 00:39:54.519
cash. I'm gonna make it work. Ball of cereal,

00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:57.579
you know, there's options. Right. Granola bars.

00:39:57.900 --> 00:40:00.019
Yeah, cereal's already milk temp. You just have

00:40:00.019 --> 00:40:02.739
to wait for the milk to get to room temp. Or

00:40:02.739 --> 00:40:05.260
just not have milk. Or just not have milk. Yeah.

00:40:05.539 --> 00:40:09.559
Yeah. I think I'll take it too. I'll definitely

00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:12.960
have to do a little work around mentally. on,

00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:16.940
you know, how best to actually eat food. Right.

00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:19.619
You know? Kind of do a little more meal planning.

00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:23.079
Not meal prep. I guess meal prep, but more meal

00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:26.380
planning. But 100k is 100k. Yeah. And after five

00:40:26.380 --> 00:40:29.599
years, I'm still gonna have a little moolah that

00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:31.400
I can eat regular people food again. Oh yeah.

00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:33.639
I mean, I'll be honest. Like, if I have a case

00:40:33.639 --> 00:40:35.380
of soda and I forget to put it in the fridge

00:40:35.380 --> 00:40:37.360
and it's sitting out... and I wake up and I need

00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:39.579
that caffeine, I'm drinking it. Yeah. And I have

00:40:39.579 --> 00:40:41.139
before. That's true. It's not as pleasurable

00:40:41.139 --> 00:40:43.039
as an ice cold soda, but you know what? I'll

00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:45.579
drink it. Yeah. Just like if you had a hot cup

00:40:45.579 --> 00:40:47.800
of coffee, you left it on the counter and an

00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:50.159
hour later you're like, oh, coffee. You're probably

00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:51.119
going to drink it. I'm probably going to drink

00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:52.679
the coffee. I'll still drink the coffee. Yeah,

00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:54.159
you're going to drink it. Yeah. I'll take the

00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:57.900
100K also. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. 100%. I've got

00:40:57.900 --> 00:41:02.599
a DM here from Goldiluck. If you had the Midas

00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:06.530
Touch. to turn things into gold, but it's only

00:41:06.530 --> 00:41:10.750
for the first two things you touch. Which two

00:41:10.750 --> 00:41:15.030
things would you touch right now? Oh god. That's

00:41:15.030 --> 00:41:18.150
a good ques - I would want it to be something

00:41:18.150 --> 00:41:23.650
that weighs a lot. Right. For the sake of, you

00:41:23.650 --> 00:41:25.969
know, being able to have a little wealth, a little

00:41:25.969 --> 00:41:30.250
financial freedom. So looking around the studio,

00:41:31.160 --> 00:41:35.920
I would probably touch that hardwood desk, because

00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:40.780
that probably weighs 70, 80 pounds in full with

00:41:40.780 --> 00:41:44.280
the drawers in there. So you take 80 pounds worth

00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:47.079
of gold. We can do some quick maths in a little

00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:49.880
bit, but that's a good amount. So I touch the

00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:53.940
hardwood desk, and then, you know what I would

00:41:53.940 --> 00:41:59.800
do? I would touch the floor. Okay. Not because

00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:03.340
that necessarily has utility, right? Because,

00:42:03.739 --> 00:42:05.519
I mean, how would you extract a floor from a

00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:08.280
house that sounds like a pain in the ass? But

00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:12.380
if I have enough wealth from that 80 pounds of

00:42:12.380 --> 00:42:16.159
gold from the hardwood desk, hard - gold desk

00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:20.059
now, then I could just have a cold floor. You

00:42:20.059 --> 00:42:22.659
know, add to the value of the house. For sure.

00:42:23.139 --> 00:42:25.679
So I think I would touch those two things. Okay.

00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:30.719
And I'll let you cook with your answer. I'll

00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:32.099
do some quick math. I already know. I already

00:42:32.099 --> 00:42:35.659
know. I'm touching your house. The whole house?

00:42:36.579 --> 00:42:40.360
Yeah. I mean, if I touch the wall, the wall is

00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:43.960
the house. So the house will be gold. This is

00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:48.760
true. And your house is probably... How many

00:42:48.760 --> 00:42:52.429
tons of material? Tons of material. But is it

00:42:52.429 --> 00:42:55.150
surface level? If I touch the floor, does it

00:42:55.150 --> 00:42:57.969
change the floorboards on top of the subfloor?

00:42:58.409 --> 00:43:00.469
If you touch the house, is it only the siding?

00:43:01.210 --> 00:43:03.210
Yeah, I'm not sure what the rule is. Yeah. Because

00:43:03.210 --> 00:43:05.389
I figure if I touch the wall, the wall's a house.

00:43:06.469 --> 00:43:08.070
So the house, not necessarily everything in it,

00:43:08.090 --> 00:43:09.809
but the house would be gold. The house would

00:43:09.809 --> 00:43:13.510
be gold, right. So you're talking thousands of

00:43:13.510 --> 00:43:17.780
pounds of gold? Right, right. By a country. Yeah,

00:43:17.780 --> 00:43:20.440
that right. I'm doing some quick maths for the

00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:25.320
for the hardwood desk so 80 pounds times 16 to

00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:29.820
get it to ounces times as of today the gold price

00:43:29.820 --> 00:43:34.860
is about 49 hunch per ounce per ounce Wow six

00:43:34.860 --> 00:43:38.820
point two seven million dollars That desk that

00:43:38.820 --> 00:43:42.280
desk now if we take gosh how much does a house

00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:45.920
way? That's let's do a little research how much

00:43:47.190 --> 00:43:53.030
does a house weigh? Single -family homes typically

00:43:53.030 --> 00:43:58.409
weighs between 80 and 160 thousand pounds. Okay,

00:43:58.550 --> 00:44:00.730
so let's do that then. Let's do that. I have

00:44:00.730 --> 00:44:03.210
kind of a smaller house, small range style, so

00:44:03.210 --> 00:44:07.110
let's say 85. We'll say 85 thou pounds times

00:44:07.110 --> 00:44:14.610
16, to get to ounces, times 49 hunge, 6 .66 billion

00:44:14.610 --> 00:44:19.309
dollars. There we go. There we go. Wow. Wow.

00:44:19.429 --> 00:44:23.070
Wow. Wow. Makes my desk look very small. Yeah.

00:44:23.610 --> 00:44:26.730
I'm gonna change my name to Elon Husk. Thank

00:44:26.730 --> 00:44:30.389
you Goldie Luck. That's right. What's the second

00:44:30.389 --> 00:44:33.670
thing you would touch? If the whole house is

00:44:33.670 --> 00:44:36.989
gold. How, by the way, would we sell that? I

00:44:36.989 --> 00:44:40.869
guess we could use the money, the six million

00:44:40.869 --> 00:44:44.000
dollars from the golden desk. To pay someone

00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:46.099
to come in. To pay someone to come in and melt

00:44:46.099 --> 00:44:49.639
down the gold of the 85 ,000 pound house. There

00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:52.400
you go. To then sell. That's it. And then I would

00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:54.940
just, I guess, get a house somewhere else. Because

00:44:54.940 --> 00:44:56.579
this would just be a plot of land. I guess I

00:44:56.579 --> 00:44:58.119
could build a new house. You could build a new

00:44:58.119 --> 00:44:59.940
house. Yeah, that amount of money goes a lot

00:44:59.940 --> 00:45:02.880
of things. Build a mansion. Build a castle. Right.

00:45:02.940 --> 00:45:06.940
With a moat. Well, thank you very much. An alligator

00:45:06.940 --> 00:45:15.960
named Samuel. and his child, Samuelson. The last

00:45:15.960 --> 00:45:20.099
DM I received today is from at CreativeBullyBoy.

00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:25.820
If I give you $2 ,000, would you let me give

00:45:25.820 --> 00:45:30.059
you a swirly in a bar toilet full of vom? Ooh,

00:45:30.059 --> 00:45:32.860
how much is that again? $2 ,000. No. No. Not

00:45:32.860 --> 00:45:36.320
taking it? No. No way. Yeah, because it implies

00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:39.099
I'm at the bar, right? Yeah. A bar toilet full

00:45:39.099 --> 00:45:42.219
of vom, which means I have to Hitch a ride home

00:45:42.219 --> 00:45:46.480
with vomit all over my being mm -hmm. No, I mean

00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:49.880
that's a Granted a swirly only lasts what 10

00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:52.500
15 seconds however still however long it takes

00:45:52.500 --> 00:45:55.699
for the toilet to flush But you yeah, I mean

00:45:55.699 --> 00:45:57.320
you're gonna have the trauma of smelling like

00:45:57.320 --> 00:46:00.280
vom Yep, even if you ran to the sink and tried

00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:02.300
to wash as much of it out You're still gonna

00:46:02.300 --> 00:46:04.780
smell like it till you take a shower right all

00:46:04.780 --> 00:46:08.820
the acid in there I mean $2 ,000 is to we just

00:46:08.820 --> 00:46:10.559
went from talking about a six billion dollar

00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:14.159
house To now we're talking through grand. Yeah,

00:46:14.219 --> 00:46:16.300
now. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I mean

00:46:16.300 --> 00:46:19.860
it would probably take It'd take an order of

00:46:19.860 --> 00:46:22.659
magnitude. I think I'd consider it for two grand.

00:46:23.219 --> 00:46:26.940
I'd yeah 20 I'd say I would do it. Yeah. Yeah

00:46:26.940 --> 00:46:29.980
Yeah, sorry creative bully boy. We're just gonna

00:46:29.980 --> 00:46:33.269
need a little ball us bully boy We know how much

00:46:33.269 --> 00:46:35.469
our hair and beautiful heads are worth. That's

00:46:35.469 --> 00:46:40.670
right. I'm hot. I would say one song by those

00:46:40.670 --> 00:46:43.250
girls, those teenage girls, it was like a YouTube

00:46:43.250 --> 00:46:46.230
sensation. Oh, yeah. And they're like that limo,

00:46:46.389 --> 00:46:49.389
don't hate us cause we're hot. Yeah. Oh my God.

00:46:49.650 --> 00:46:55.750
It's so good. Yeah. That's, that's. God, I wish

00:46:55.750 --> 00:46:57.170
I remember what it was called. Why did that pop

00:46:57.170 --> 00:47:00.829
in my head? That's so funny. Yeah. It's like,

00:47:01.010 --> 00:47:03.719
don't hate it. Okay. Alright, live research.

00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:06.780
We're gonna do some live research. By the way,

00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:11.480
frozen guy review. This week I did lean cuisine.

00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:17.199
Grilled chicken Caesar. Delightful, creamy sauce,

00:47:17.420 --> 00:47:20.539
good pasta. The chicken was excellent. Everything

00:47:20.539 --> 00:47:24.320
I liked. Once again, we talk quality, we talk

00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:26.179
quantity, we talk all that kind of good stuff.

00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:32.840
The quantity was barely enough. I was still kind

00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:36.599
of hungry after I had it. Okay. And I seasoned

00:47:36.599 --> 00:47:38.860
it up, which is kind of a faux pas on my part,

00:47:38.860 --> 00:47:40.880
but I've kind of looked at it and I figured it's

00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:44.880
gonna need a little kick of something. So I would

00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:48.440
give it an 8 .1. I think if it were a larger

00:47:48.440 --> 00:47:51.260
quantity, I probably would have been in the mid

00:47:51.260 --> 00:47:55.780
eights, but 8 .1 is where. And is that with the

00:47:55.780 --> 00:48:00.119
caveat that you added seasoning? Yeah, I think

00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:04.539
so. I think so. I think that's fair. Oh, did

00:48:04.539 --> 00:48:06.579
you do the library search? Did you find it? I

00:48:06.579 --> 00:48:10.019
found it. It's by Double Take. It's called Hot

00:48:10.019 --> 00:48:14.800
Problems. Oh no. Yeah. We wish we could play

00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:19.360
it for you. We really do. But I would have a

00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:22.860
feeling they would strike us. Yeah. Oh my gosh,

00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:26.039
I'm looking at the lyrics right now. Are they

00:48:26.039 --> 00:48:28.579
as bad as I remember? Look at me and tell me

00:48:28.579 --> 00:48:31.519
the truth. What do you do when people don't know

00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:33.619
what we go through? They see my blonde hair,

00:48:33.840 --> 00:48:35.739
blue eyes and clasps, but they don't know I have

00:48:35.739 --> 00:48:39.099
a really big heart. Don't get me wrong, I know

00:48:39.099 --> 00:48:43.019
that I'm hot, but that textbook perfection really

00:48:43.019 --> 00:48:46.550
takes a lot. Weird guys call my phone and girls

00:48:46.550 --> 00:48:50.050
call me names. But like Miley said, I can't be

00:48:50.050 --> 00:48:54.030
tamed. Oh my god. Okay, the chorus, which is

00:48:54.030 --> 00:48:56.710
what you were referencing. Hot girls, we have

00:48:56.710 --> 00:49:01.389
problems too. We're just like you, except we're

00:49:01.389 --> 00:49:07.670
hot. The world needs to open their eyes and realize

00:49:07.670 --> 00:49:14.309
we're not perfect and sometimes we lie. God bless

00:49:14.309 --> 00:49:16.769
them wherever they are in this world right now.

00:49:16.829 --> 00:49:20.269
Oh my god. What was the name of that group again?

00:49:20.510 --> 00:49:23.489
Hot Problems Double Take, I believe. Oh my god.

00:49:23.650 --> 00:49:26.369
Bless their souls. I hope they're doing well

00:49:26.369 --> 00:49:30.530
in life. You right? Yeah. Oh my god. That's too

00:49:30.530 --> 00:49:34.530
funny. Bless your heart for doing that research.

00:49:35.849 --> 00:49:39.929
That warms the cockles. That brings us to the

00:49:39.929 --> 00:49:44.639
other foods. Now, Aidan. Does an immense amount

00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:48.320
of research travels the globe that like the one

00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:53.039
he's got on his desk and finds the most disgusting

00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:58.659
food he can and I mean it's odd it's different,

00:49:59.420 --> 00:50:03.880
but mostly Vomitus yeah, just gross. What do

00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:06.920
you got? I found an interesting article that

00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:09.739
I didn't expect to find during my research my

00:50:09.739 --> 00:50:13.400
ventures To your ventures. Through your globe.

00:50:13.659 --> 00:50:15.599
I was looking Finland. I was looking Russia.

00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:17.079
I'm like, sure, they've got some good things

00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:20.179
there for sure. And then I found this strange

00:50:20.179 --> 00:50:22.760
little thing they've done in a time long past.

00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:28.519
A little something called frog milk. Oh no. Frog

00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:32.079
milk. Now, it's not right there amphibians. You

00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:36.099
can't milk it like rat milk. Exactly. It's not

00:50:36.099 --> 00:50:40.599
the same as rat milk. Frog milk is... A way of

00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:45.360
preserving milk. In Russia and Finland, historically,

00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:48.679
peasants put frogs in milk containers to keep

00:50:48.679 --> 00:50:53.440
it from souring. Oh no. Yeah. Frog milk. You

00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:56.079
put the frog in milk. Yeah, I don't know about

00:50:56.079 --> 00:50:58.239
that. That's the recipe. Put the frog in milk.

00:50:58.460 --> 00:51:02.659
I don't know about that. There is some scientific

00:51:02.659 --> 00:51:06.820
backing to these actions. Research indicates

00:51:06.820 --> 00:51:10.659
this practice was effective because of the antimicrobial,

00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:14.719
antibiotic, and antifungal peptides found in

00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:20.619
the mucus and secretions of said frogs. These

00:51:20.619 --> 00:51:24.119
compounds inhibit the growth of a bacteria like

00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:29.840
Staminella and Cephalococcus. And I just I was

00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:34.320
floored because first of all these So called

00:51:34.320 --> 00:51:37.820
secretions of the frog are going to end up in

00:51:37.820 --> 00:51:40.860
your milk, right? So then you're drinking milk

00:51:40.860 --> 00:51:46.000
featuring frog secretions. And there seems to

00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:48.119
be scientific evidence backing the fact it does

00:51:48.119 --> 00:51:51.900
help preserve the milk for longer. But then you're

00:51:51.900 --> 00:51:55.960
at risk of drinking frog juice. What if the frog

00:51:55.960 --> 00:51:58.960
shits and pisses in your milk, man? It's like

00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:01.739
a small price to pay to have it last a little

00:52:01.739 --> 00:52:07.019
longer. Icky. Yeah. So in ancient times in Russia,

00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:11.280
and as I said before, potentially Finland, yeah,

00:52:11.480 --> 00:52:14.440
frogs were put in milk to simply keep it from

00:52:14.440 --> 00:52:19.679
going sour. Seems like the opposite, yeah? Right.

00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:22.239
The first thing to realize is, of course, this

00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:25.920
is a time before the widespread availability

00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:30.369
of refrigeration. So. The practice primarily

00:52:30.369 --> 00:52:32.530
occurred in Finland and Russia. However, the

00:52:32.530 --> 00:52:35.789
residents did not, quote, the residents did not

00:52:35.789 --> 00:52:38.550
have a clue as to why the frogs appeared to keep

00:52:38.550 --> 00:52:43.130
milk fresh for a longer period. Oh, no. Who then,

00:52:43.130 --> 00:52:45.570
that begs my question. Yeah. Who was the first

00:52:45.570 --> 00:52:48.369
one to put a frog in milk? Who was the first

00:52:48.369 --> 00:52:50.210
one to be like - Who was that person? And you're,

00:52:50.389 --> 00:52:52.889
Finland and Russia are already cold places, right?

00:52:53.030 --> 00:52:55.690
Yeah. So this practice is maybe only done during

00:52:55.690 --> 00:52:59.530
the summer. Oh, man. But then - Who was the first

00:52:59.530 --> 00:53:01.809
showed out there that's like, you know what?

00:53:01.969 --> 00:53:04.429
Milk just isn't lasting long enough for me. I'm

00:53:04.429 --> 00:53:06.289
gonna put a frog in it and see if that helps.

00:53:06.650 --> 00:53:10.849
Mm -mm. Blood, who hurt you? Why is that your

00:53:10.849 --> 00:53:13.769
first thought, dude? That's gross. So a little

00:53:13.769 --> 00:53:16.550
frog milk there for you today. No bueno. Based

00:53:16.550 --> 00:53:20.070
on actual ancient, I don't know if ancient's

00:53:20.070 --> 00:53:23.989
the right word, but historical behavior of Russians

00:53:23.989 --> 00:53:28.349
and Finns. That's just gross. Oh my god. Like,

00:53:28.389 --> 00:53:29.989
don't they tell you, like, if you touch a frog,

00:53:30.110 --> 00:53:31.769
you're supposed to scrub your hands? Right. Now

00:53:31.769 --> 00:53:33.690
you're putting it in your milk? You get warts

00:53:33.690 --> 00:53:35.690
from frogs or toads or something. That might

00:53:35.690 --> 00:53:37.789
just be a wives tale or urban legend. It could

00:53:37.789 --> 00:53:40.510
be. Urban myth. But, yeah, frog milk, I guess,

00:53:40.590 --> 00:53:43.090
is a thing that scientists are like, you know,

00:53:43.150 --> 00:53:46.309
that definitely could have worked. Oof. Yeah,

00:53:46.469 --> 00:53:48.670
I'll take a pass. Yeah. I'm not gonna do that.

00:53:48.769 --> 00:53:51.550
Yeah, and with how refrigeration seems to be

00:53:51.550 --> 00:53:55.929
more accessible for most. Yeah. I'm just hoping

00:53:55.929 --> 00:53:59.769
I never encounter frog milk in my lifetime. Ever.

00:54:00.469 --> 00:54:03.570
Yeah, lest it become a necessity. Yeah, I just,

00:54:03.750 --> 00:54:06.530
I... Lest it be something I enjoy, and all of

00:54:06.530 --> 00:54:08.789
a sudden I'm the frog milk guy. Right. We're

00:54:08.789 --> 00:54:10.349
already the rat milk guys. We're already the

00:54:10.349 --> 00:54:12.250
rat milk guys. I wear that like a badge of honor.

00:54:12.750 --> 00:54:15.670
You should. Frog milk? It's a different story.

00:54:15.929 --> 00:54:20.590
Yeah, for sure. Man. Mmm. Like if the choice

00:54:20.590 --> 00:54:23.949
was like starving to death or drinking like a

00:54:23.949 --> 00:54:28.760
bunch of... of frog milk. It's tempting to starve.

00:54:29.219 --> 00:54:30.940
Yeah, right. Yeah, I think I'm going. I'm going

00:54:30.940 --> 00:54:34.139
to the other side. The frog secretions accents

00:54:34.139 --> 00:54:36.760
the milk in such a way. In such a way. Yeah.

00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:40.619
Nah. I'm out. That's me. That's me tapping. Tapping

00:54:40.619 --> 00:54:45.519
out. Yep. All right. Let's as we close with frog

00:54:45.519 --> 00:54:49.400
milk. Let's take a gulp of these next segments.

00:54:50.460 --> 00:54:53.760
Did you just? Oh, man. Sorry, I stole your Segway

00:54:53.760 --> 00:54:56.320
Thunder. Okay, you just made the list, I guess.

00:54:56.880 --> 00:55:05.420
Coming up, maybe. Hey guys, we're back from break

00:55:05.420 --> 00:55:08.139
and it is now time for our feature segment. You

00:55:08.139 --> 00:55:11.219
just made the list. You're on the Mark Mo Show.

00:55:11.559 --> 00:55:15.440
Hi Mark, that's Aiden. Hi. Hola. This week's

00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:20.199

the big number one reveal and According to my

00:55:27.780 --> 00:55:30.420
calculation. I'm sorry. I thought they're sorting

00:55:30.420 --> 00:55:35.719
to my calculations Let me see I must consult

00:55:35.719 --> 00:55:41.099
my book I must consult that Yeah, there are no

00:55:41.099 --> 00:55:43.860
rules Let's go. No rules. Let's freaking go.

00:55:44.059 --> 00:55:46.199
Chat. I love that. I love that. So, best news

00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:49.179
I've heard today. Cookies, top ten. Aiden? Yes.

00:55:49.239 --> 00:55:51.000
What do you got? I'll run my ten through two

00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:53.320
and save my big number one as a reveal. There

00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:56.960
we go. For later. Alright. Number ten on my list.

00:55:58.000 --> 00:56:01.719
Snickerdoodles. Ooh. Fantastic. That little cinnamon

00:56:01.719 --> 00:56:04.719
-y, kind of soft, crumbly kind of cookie. Very

00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:08.039
fantastic. Yep. Enjoyable. Uh -huh. Number nine.

00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:12.159
The classic sugar cookie. There's something so

00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:15.480
charming about it. Yeah in its simplicity It's

00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:17.780
soft and chewy and it just makes you feel special

00:56:17.780 --> 00:56:20.500
on the inside Just like you know you put one

00:56:20.500 --> 00:56:23.760
on a plate with a cup of coffee. Oh, yeah It's

00:56:23.760 --> 00:56:25.480
perfect little snack during the day. It's a good

00:56:25.480 --> 00:56:29.940
snack it balances The the bitter flavorful notes

00:56:29.940 --> 00:56:32.340
of a black coffee. Yep with the sweet cookie

00:56:32.340 --> 00:56:34.860
notes It does you could argue the same I guess

00:56:34.860 --> 00:56:37.519
for like an old -fashioned donut or buttermilk.

00:56:37.539 --> 00:56:40.099
You can say the same thing. Yeah. Oh, yeah Number

00:56:40.099 --> 00:56:44.960
eight on my list, fudge crinkle cookies. You

00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:47.340
may notice a trend here of most of these cookies

00:56:47.340 --> 00:56:49.260
being soft cookies, and that's because I like

00:56:49.260 --> 00:56:51.599
soft, chewy cookies. Nah, that's good. Fudge

00:56:51.599 --> 00:56:54.699
crinkle, a little powdered sugar on top, baller.

00:56:55.139 --> 00:56:57.460
Number seven on my list, I've got almond spritz

00:56:57.460 --> 00:57:01.139
cookies. That's a Christmas classic right there.

00:57:01.800 --> 00:57:03.500
But it's a shame, it shouldn't just be a Christmas

00:57:03.500 --> 00:57:06.519
classic. That's true. Eat those. I could just

00:57:06.519 --> 00:57:09.559
eat the dough. Oh yeah. For sure. Make the dough

00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:12.440
and just eat it. Yep. And there's actually ways,

00:57:13.019 --> 00:57:15.840
well, I mean, depending if your eggs are in danger

00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:18.079
of having salmonella or not, but there are ways

00:57:18.079 --> 00:57:22.139
to make flour safe from having E. coli in it.

00:57:22.179 --> 00:57:24.440
You just toast the flour in the oven for a little

00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:26.760
bit beforehand, and then it makes cookie dough

00:57:26.760 --> 00:57:29.179
completely safe to eat. Interesting. Yes. Did

00:57:29.179 --> 00:57:31.199
not know that. Yeah, they actually have, I think

00:57:31.199 --> 00:57:33.500
in the last couple of years, stores actually

00:57:33.500 --> 00:57:36.440
sell now. Like, they've got regular cookie dough,

00:57:36.519 --> 00:57:38.840
of course, which they always say, do not eat,

00:57:38.840 --> 00:57:40.619
you know, salmonella and E. coli. And you're

00:57:40.619 --> 00:57:43.480
just like, ha, right, don't mind if I do. But

00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:45.800
it's their way to get away from any litigation.

00:57:46.159 --> 00:57:48.539
Liability. Yeah, liability. But then they actually

00:57:48.539 --> 00:57:52.179
sell safe -to -eat cookie dough, where the flour

00:57:52.179 --> 00:57:54.780
is marked safe from E. coli, and if there's eggs

00:57:54.780 --> 00:57:56.739
in there, they're marked safe from salmonella.

00:57:57.440 --> 00:57:59.880
So that's all you have to do. Or you can just

00:57:59.880 --> 00:58:02.940
eat the cookie dough and say, fuck it. Mmm, cookie

00:58:02.940 --> 00:58:06.090
dough. I like cookie dough. Cookie dough's so

00:58:06.090 --> 00:58:08.769
good. Almost better than the cookie. In some

00:58:08.769 --> 00:58:11.510
cases, it is better than the cookie. Number six,

00:58:11.909 --> 00:58:15.869
oatmeal chocolate chip. Ooh. I love oatmeal cookies.

00:58:16.050 --> 00:58:18.570
It's just that sometimes they are befouled by

00:58:18.570 --> 00:58:22.829
the existence of raisins. Thank you. Yes. Not

00:58:22.829 --> 00:58:25.789
that I'm against raisins. Oh, I am. Raisins in

00:58:25.789 --> 00:58:28.909
things like raisin bran I enjoy, the cereal.

00:58:29.670 --> 00:58:31.869
But raisins in cookies are just not what I'm

00:58:31.869 --> 00:58:34.869
looking for in a cookie. At all. Oatmeal chocolate

00:58:34.869 --> 00:58:38.110
chip is a fantastic cookie but it's so rare because

00:58:38.110 --> 00:58:40.150
some people like raisins and bless their souls,

00:58:40.210 --> 00:58:44.050
it's not me. Agreed. It's not me. I don't like

00:58:44.050 --> 00:58:45.949
grapes and I sure as hell don't want a wrinkly

00:58:45.949 --> 00:58:50.610
one. You don't like grapes? No. No? Oh. That's

00:58:50.610 --> 00:58:52.349
news to - I didn't know that. Maybe we should

00:58:52.349 --> 00:58:55.210
do a top 10 fruits list at some point. Yeah,

00:58:55.429 --> 00:58:58.909
mine's gonna be really short. Mine's gonna be

00:58:58.909 --> 00:59:02.349
super short. And I'll just give you my number

00:59:02.349 --> 00:59:04.809
one. Yeah, my ten list starts at two actually.

00:59:05.730 --> 00:59:08.409
Yeah, that's funny. Uh, so yeah, oatmeal chocolate

00:59:08.409 --> 00:59:12.150
chip I love. Number five, white chocolate raspberry

00:59:12.150 --> 00:59:17.409
macadamia cookies. Oh, dude. Good as shit. So

00:59:17.409 --> 00:59:20.489
good. And like white chocolate and raspberry

00:59:20.489 --> 00:59:22.409
play super well together because the tartness

00:59:22.409 --> 00:59:25.550
of the raspberry accents the white chocolate

00:59:25.550 --> 00:59:28.690
in such a way. And then you add the macadamia

00:59:28.690 --> 00:59:31.960
nuts for that nutty flavor. So tasty. So nutty.

00:59:32.139 --> 00:59:36.099
So nutty. It's insane. Number four, kitchen sink

00:59:36.099 --> 00:59:40.260
cookies. Oh. So good. So you're talking kitchen

00:59:40.260 --> 00:59:42.039
sink, and we all kind of know the term of, oh,

00:59:42.099 --> 00:59:43.900
it's everything in the cookie except the kitchen

00:59:43.900 --> 00:59:46.599
sink. But no, kitchen sink cookies usually have

00:59:46.599 --> 00:59:52.059
chocolate chips, potato chips, pretzels, peanut

00:59:52.059 --> 00:59:55.989
butter chips, and sometimes those little like

00:59:55.989 --> 00:59:58.190
chocolate chunks cut up super small, so you get

00:59:58.190 --> 00:59:59.989
the little wispy bits of chocolate throughout

00:59:59.989 --> 01:00:03.690
the dough. Damn good. I actually thought you

01:00:03.690 --> 01:00:05.469
were going to tell me that there were bits of

01:00:05.469 --> 01:00:08.469
real kitchen sink. So you take the stainless

01:00:08.469 --> 01:00:10.550
steel and shave it with a cheese grater. With

01:00:10.550 --> 01:00:14.030
a cheese grater. Just, you know, take a chisel

01:00:14.030 --> 01:00:17.489
to that Formica. You just smack it. You know,

01:00:17.710 --> 01:00:19.710
marble. You got to work at it a little bit. Exactly.

01:00:19.869 --> 01:00:22.030
It's worth every bite. It is definitely worth

01:00:22.030 --> 01:00:24.710
every bite. Consult your dentist after eating

01:00:24.710 --> 01:00:27.389
the cookie. People eat microplastics. I want

01:00:27.389 --> 01:00:31.849
to eat macro metal. Yeah, let's do it But that

01:00:31.849 --> 01:00:34.929
is something that's underutilized. I argue in

01:00:34.929 --> 01:00:38.750
baked goods is the existence of pretzels Mm -hmm

01:00:38.750 --> 01:00:41.590
pretzels have the utility to be yes a savory

01:00:41.590 --> 01:00:45.250
or a sweet Snack I agree with whether soft or

01:00:45.250 --> 01:00:48.630
hard. Let's freaking go Yeah, and it's just like

01:00:48.630 --> 01:00:52.190
the saltiness and the way pretzels are made what

01:00:52.190 --> 01:00:55.619
they're comprised of Gosh, so good. And if it's

01:00:55.619 --> 01:00:57.320
just a little soft, just get it a blue pill.

01:00:57.840 --> 01:01:03.920
Huh? What does that mean? Number three on my

01:01:03.920 --> 01:01:07.679
list, soft lemon cookies. Oh, that's a good one.

01:01:07.699 --> 01:01:11.800
I love lemon bars. I love lemon cookies. Citric

01:01:11.800 --> 01:01:14.599
acid and lemon juice and lemon flavoring are

01:01:14.599 --> 01:01:17.820
all in my wheelhouse. I like lemon grab. Lemon

01:01:17.820 --> 01:01:22.329
grab. Unacceptable! Unacceptable! So soft lemon

01:01:22.329 --> 01:01:25.849
cookies, I believe, are fantastic. Number two

01:01:25.849 --> 01:01:31.730
on my list. Chewy chocolate chip cookies. A classic.

01:01:31.769 --> 01:01:34.190
You could argue chocolate chunk, but I argue

01:01:34.190 --> 01:01:37.190
that chips are chunks in just a unique form.

01:01:37.510 --> 01:01:40.570
Sure. So chewy chocolate chip is my number two.

01:01:40.570 --> 01:01:44.269
I'll save my number one. All right. I've got

01:01:44.269 --> 01:01:49.010
a top three at my number ten. Snickerdoodles,

01:01:49.050 --> 01:01:52.530
which was your number ten. Oh, yeah. Biscotti.

01:01:53.010 --> 01:01:55.269
Ooh. Technically a cookie. Technically. Oh, it's

01:01:55.269 --> 01:01:56.989
good you did the research because I was about

01:01:56.989 --> 01:01:59.090
to be like, wait a minute, like pastry versus

01:01:59.090 --> 01:02:01.230
cookie argument. No, it's a cookie. Okay, good,

01:02:01.349 --> 01:02:03.829
good. Biscotti's great with coffee, too. Very

01:02:03.829 --> 01:02:09.590
good. And thin mints. Thin mints are great. Thin

01:02:09.590 --> 01:02:12.789
mints. But here's the thing. Like at room, here's

01:02:12.789 --> 01:02:14.989
the room temperature. Yeah. At room temperature,

01:02:15.150 --> 01:02:17.630
not a fan. You put those suckers in the freezer.

01:02:18.509 --> 01:02:21.590
I'm in. I'm in. Oh, yeah. Because it's almost

01:02:21.590 --> 01:02:24.289
like the York peppermint patty of cocaine. Kind

01:02:24.289 --> 01:02:27.670
of. Yeah. In a way. Yep. That's a good argument

01:02:27.670 --> 01:02:30.869
you make. I like that. Yeah. Number nine, butterscotch.

01:02:31.199 --> 01:02:33.159
There's a cookie with some butterscotch chips

01:02:33.159 --> 01:02:35.519
in it. Oh, butterscotch is a great flavor. It

01:02:35.519 --> 01:02:38.519
is. It's underutilized. It's like caramel, but

01:02:38.519 --> 01:02:41.460
more mature. Yeah. You know? Yeah, that's fair.

01:02:41.739 --> 01:02:43.400
I feel like when I eat a butterscotch cookie,

01:02:43.559 --> 01:02:46.420
I'm, hmm, yes, hmm. Quite. Quite indeed. I'm

01:02:46.420 --> 01:02:48.780
enjoying this butterscotch cookie, you see. I

01:02:48.780 --> 01:02:53.780
am. You notice my pinky is out, extended. Number

01:02:53.780 --> 01:02:56.599
eight, also went with oatmeal. I went with iced

01:02:56.599 --> 01:03:00.619
oatmeal, however. I love an iced oatmeal cookie.

01:03:00.639 --> 01:03:04.260
Oh, yeah. So good. That is true. Love it. Like

01:03:04.260 --> 01:03:06.719
that cream cheese kind of icing on there. Yeah.

01:03:06.980 --> 01:03:10.980
Dude, get real. So good. Number seven, ye olde

01:03:10.980 --> 01:03:14.760
peanut butter cookie. Just the best. You know,

01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:18.059
it can have, you know, a big Hershey Kiss chocolate

01:03:18.059 --> 01:03:20.239
thingy on the top if you want, because, you know,

01:03:20.239 --> 01:03:21.820
we know peanut butter and chocolate are just

01:03:21.820 --> 01:03:23.219
balling together. Best friends. Best friends.

01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:26.679
They are. BFF for sure. But just a regular peanut

01:03:26.679 --> 01:03:30.179
butter cookie. Love it amazing. It's great amazing

01:03:30.179 --> 01:03:34.400
Number six chocolate crinkle there. We go yeah

01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:37.119
chocolate crinkle to you mostly around the holidays

01:03:37.119 --> 01:03:39.280
But doesn't have to be it's just chocolate crinkle

01:03:39.280 --> 01:03:43.099
cookie that is true It is I will mention because

01:03:43.099 --> 01:03:45.059
fudge crinkle and chocolate crinkle is the same

01:03:45.059 --> 01:03:47.739
thing the same thing um They're one of the sweeter

01:03:47.739 --> 01:03:50.489
cookies you will ever have True. Like, it's one

01:03:50.489 --> 01:03:52.250
of those where you have one and it's like, okay,

01:03:52.269 --> 01:03:54.909
I've had enough cookies. And do yourself a favor,

01:03:55.050 --> 01:03:58.670
because some bakers do this where they bake them

01:03:58.670 --> 01:04:00.989
a little bit too long and the cookie becomes

01:04:00.989 --> 01:04:03.989
a little bit crunchier or stiffer. That ain't

01:04:03.989 --> 01:04:07.030
it. I like a soft critical cut cookie. Yes, absolutely.

01:04:07.110 --> 01:04:08.550
You're just letting me hit that thing right out

01:04:08.550 --> 01:04:10.610
of the oven. Yup. I am all... It's supposed to

01:04:10.610 --> 01:04:13.329
be fudgy on the inside. Yes, correct. You're

01:04:13.329 --> 01:04:16.989
right. Number five, ye old spritz cookie. Fucking

01:04:16.989 --> 01:04:19.510
right. I love that spritz cookie, man. It is

01:04:19.510 --> 01:04:24.329
so good. That almond flavor. Lowkey, it's probably

01:04:24.329 --> 01:04:28.210
one of my favorite smells. Like the almond extract.

01:04:28.210 --> 01:04:30.269
Like get the almond extract and a little whiff.

01:04:30.389 --> 01:04:32.090
It's like, ah, and then I just want cookies.

01:04:33.510 --> 01:04:36.409
There's liquors out there, liqueurs out there,

01:04:36.650 --> 01:04:39.869
that are almond. extract almond flavored. Yes,

01:04:39.869 --> 01:04:42.349
correct. And they're fantastic in like those

01:04:42.349 --> 01:04:44.570
nutty kind of mixed drinks. Yep, they really

01:04:44.570 --> 01:04:47.429
are. Underutilized. And quite frankly, along

01:04:47.429 --> 01:04:49.230
with the spritz, I guess I could put this in

01:04:49.230 --> 01:04:52.429
here because there are no rules, are almond cookies.

01:04:52.510 --> 01:04:54.530
And you get those primarily at Chinese restaurants.

01:04:54.670 --> 01:04:55.829
You find those there a lot. Oh, that's right.

01:04:56.150 --> 01:04:57.550
Almond cookies are great. Almond cookies are

01:04:57.550 --> 01:05:01.840
really good. Is it like almond flour or? I know

01:05:01.840 --> 01:05:05.860
there's bits of real almond in there. In every

01:05:05.860 --> 01:05:08.480
bite. In every bite. Yeah, there's like the little

01:05:08.480 --> 01:05:12.460
almond chips on the top. Yeah. But in terms of

01:05:12.460 --> 01:05:14.360
the actual cookie itself, that's a good question.

01:05:14.480 --> 01:05:17.260
Probably almond extract and like a regular sugar

01:05:17.260 --> 01:05:19.260
cookie dough maybe. Yeah, something like that.

01:05:19.260 --> 01:05:21.159
And then the almonds. Yeah. That would be my

01:05:21.159 --> 01:05:26.039
guess. Number four, Oreo. Oh yeah, I didn't even

01:05:26.039 --> 01:05:28.630
think about... pre -packaged cookies. Oreos are

01:05:28.630 --> 01:05:31.949
good. There's really no other way to define it

01:05:31.949 --> 01:05:35.130
other than an Oreo. You could just say sandwich

01:05:35.130 --> 01:05:38.610
cookie, I guess. It's nondescript. People know

01:05:38.610 --> 01:05:43.130
what an Oreo is. Oh, yeah. Oreos, for sure. The

01:05:43.130 --> 01:05:47.409
worst thing about them is, I'll be honest, I

01:05:47.409 --> 01:05:50.090
get down a sleeve at Oreos. Oh, yeah. No problem.

01:05:50.889 --> 01:05:53.949
Snackable. Oh, very snackable. The only problem

01:05:53.949 --> 01:05:56.269
is you have to brush your teeth for an hour.

01:05:56.269 --> 01:05:58.949
Oh, yeah. Because it just gets in everywhere.

01:05:59.230 --> 01:06:01.690
It's the milk duds of the baked good. Oh, it

01:06:01.690 --> 01:06:06.329
is. Oh my god, it is. The cheesy poofs. Yeah,

01:06:06.670 --> 01:06:08.829
exactly. They just get wedged everywhere. Oh

01:06:08.829 --> 01:06:12.869
my god. The upside is that you can brush your...

01:06:12.920 --> 01:06:15.059
tongue along your teeth and taste Oreos for the

01:06:15.059 --> 01:06:17.079
next couple hours. That's true. The downside

01:06:17.079 --> 01:06:19.519
is you have Oreos in your teeth for several hours.

01:06:19.639 --> 01:06:21.539
You do. And your dentist would be very cross

01:06:21.539 --> 01:06:24.519
with you. Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure. And Oreos are

01:06:24.519 --> 01:06:27.380
great with milk. This is true. Milk's best friend,

01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:30.659
as they say. Indeed. Number three, sugar cookie.

01:06:31.460 --> 01:06:33.820
Standard. Yep. Good sugar cookie. Number two,

01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:36.599
the butter cookie, like the Danish butter cookie.

01:06:37.139 --> 01:06:41.369
Oh, damn, yeah. Okay. Those are similar to the

01:06:41.369 --> 01:06:44.730
sugar cookie, but a little bit more savory and

01:06:44.730 --> 01:06:47.210
buttery than sweet. Yes. I would agree. A little

01:06:47.210 --> 01:06:49.650
bit of difference there. Yeah. All of these sell

01:06:49.650 --> 01:06:53.289
really good butter cookies. And I think, you

01:06:53.289 --> 01:06:55.230
know, if we're talking about mass -produced cookies,

01:06:55.489 --> 01:06:58.570
I think Salerno's is a butter cookie, if I remember

01:06:58.570 --> 01:07:00.190
correctly. Those little flower -looking ones,

01:07:00.210 --> 01:07:02.050
the little hole in the middle. Yes. Yeah, yeah.

01:07:02.090 --> 01:07:04.429
You put your little pinky through the hole and

01:07:04.429 --> 01:07:07.730
eat it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. They make those

01:07:07.730 --> 01:07:10.610
butter cookies. I think they sell them at Aldi,

01:07:10.630 --> 01:07:12.349
not that I'm sponsored by Aldi, but that's the

01:07:12.349 --> 01:07:14.289
only place I shop, so it's my only reference

01:07:14.289 --> 01:07:17.070
point. That's fine. But they make those butter

01:07:17.070 --> 01:07:21.230
cookies, and they put a piece of chocolate in

01:07:21.230 --> 01:07:24.130
the bottom. Oh. So it's like a butter cookie

01:07:24.130 --> 01:07:27.369
wrapped around a piece of chocolate. Ooh. And

01:07:27.369 --> 01:07:30.690
I'm like, that's what's up. Ooh. Because the

01:07:30.690 --> 01:07:32.690
butter cookie is more buttery, salty, savory,

01:07:32.750 --> 01:07:35.010
like you were saying. And then the chocolate

01:07:35.010 --> 01:07:37.590
comes in. Especially dark chocolate. Oh, yeah.

01:07:37.789 --> 01:07:41.050
I'm in. Accents the Butter Cookie in such a way.

01:07:41.510 --> 01:07:43.889
Oh, dude, I'm on that. I might be going to Aldi

01:07:43.889 --> 01:07:47.389
later. Yes. All right. We're on to number one.

01:07:47.530 --> 01:07:51.269
I think we may have the same one. My numero uno

01:07:51.269 --> 01:07:56.630
is actually a tie for number one, because it's

01:07:56.630 --> 01:07:58.050
kind of the same cookie, but it's definitely

01:07:58.050 --> 01:08:01.539
not. The peanut butter blossom cookie, which

01:08:01.539 --> 01:08:03.820
I think you did mention. It's the peanut butter

01:08:03.820 --> 01:08:07.940
cookie with the A little chocolate like Hershey's

01:08:07.940 --> 01:08:10.679
kiss on it. Yeah tied with the peanut butter

01:08:10.679 --> 01:08:15.079
patties Which is known it's a it's a Girl Scout

01:08:15.079 --> 01:08:17.500
cookie. They're called tagalongs. Oh, yeah. Yeah

01:08:17.500 --> 01:08:22.039
where it's this biscuity kind of cookie and There's

01:08:22.039 --> 01:08:24.460
a big blob of peanut butter on top of the biscuit

01:08:24.460 --> 01:08:27.359
and then the whole thing is coated in chocolate

01:08:27.359 --> 01:08:32.550
dude Unbelievable. Unbelievable. So that is my

01:08:32.550 --> 01:08:36.149
tie for number one best cookie of all time. Is

01:08:36.149 --> 01:08:38.510
a tie between the peanut butter cookies. Another

01:08:38.510 --> 01:08:41.250
mass -produced cookie to just throw out there

01:08:41.250 --> 01:08:45.170
based on your peanut butter -ness of number one.

01:08:45.170 --> 01:08:47.189
Yes. Which I'm sure a certain Steve Dentz will

01:08:47.189 --> 01:08:51.470
be very sad about. I'm sorry. No, well. The Nutter

01:08:51.470 --> 01:08:54.310
Butter. Nutter Butters are so good. That's a

01:08:54.310 --> 01:08:57.369
wafer pastry out of you. Those are goated. Yes.

01:08:57.630 --> 01:09:00.560
For sure. They're so fucking good. I had to stop

01:09:00.560 --> 01:09:03.460
buying them. I actually stopped purchasing them

01:09:03.460 --> 01:09:06.420
because I would eat a pack, like there's two

01:09:06.420 --> 01:09:09.060
in a pack, right? And I'd eat a pack and I'd

01:09:09.060 --> 01:09:11.239
be like, oh, that pack's empty. I'll grab another

01:09:11.239 --> 01:09:14.100
pack. I would do what Nutter Butter is what regular

01:09:14.100 --> 01:09:17.359
people do with Oreos. Correct. And I'd eat like

01:09:17.359 --> 01:09:20.579
four packs. I'm like, god damn it. I'm going

01:09:20.579 --> 01:09:23.520
to be feeling this later. So good. Oh my god.

01:09:23.680 --> 01:09:26.579
They're ridiculously good. Good. Yeah, I like

01:09:26.579 --> 01:09:29.760
them. I love them. Would you argue that's a cookie,

01:09:30.159 --> 01:09:32.899
a pastry, or? It's a cookie. It's a cookie, you

01:09:32.899 --> 01:09:36.100
think? 100 % cookie. Yeah. Because it's the little

01:09:36.100 --> 01:09:38.819
peanut wafer thing is crispy, and then the layer

01:09:38.819 --> 01:09:41.060
of peanut butter in the middle. Would you argue

01:09:41.060 --> 01:09:43.640
then, since Kit Kats are mostly wafer, that those

01:09:43.640 --> 01:09:45.979
are cookies? Or is that a candy? That's candy.

01:09:46.640 --> 01:09:50.220
Then what differentiates the chocolate wrapped

01:09:50.220 --> 01:09:52.729
wafer? of a Nutter Butter with the chocolate

01:09:52.729 --> 01:09:55.029
-wrapped wafer of a Kit Kat besides peanut butter.

01:09:55.109 --> 01:09:57.989
There's no chocolate in a Nutter Butter. Oh.

01:09:58.409 --> 01:10:01.470
Oh, I'm thinking of the Nutty Buddy bars. No,

01:10:01.489 --> 01:10:05.510
no, no, no, no. No. The peanut -shaped cookie

01:10:05.510 --> 01:10:07.409
with the peanut butter in the middle? Yes. Yes,

01:10:07.449 --> 01:10:11.189
okay. Hold on. Hold on. Retract my other statement.

01:10:11.829 --> 01:10:14.189
Reel that one back in. I fully agree. Nutter

01:10:14.189 --> 01:10:17.909
Butters are cookies. Yes. Nutty Buddy bars. Nutter

01:10:17.909 --> 01:10:20.100
Butter bars? What are they called? Nutty Buddy

01:10:20.100 --> 01:10:23.319
bars? Nutty Buddy, Nutter Butter. Yeah, I know

01:10:23.319 --> 01:10:24.840
what you're talking about. The little chocolate

01:10:24.840 --> 01:10:26.239
wafer with peanut butter. Yeah, wafer, peanut

01:10:26.239 --> 01:10:28.800
butter, wafer, peanut butter, wafer, chocolate

01:10:28.800 --> 01:10:31.180
all around. It's not a cookie, but it's not technically

01:10:31.180 --> 01:10:34.439
candy. Right. It's a wafer? Wait, wafer? It's

01:10:34.439 --> 01:10:37.000
a wafer candy? I don't know. Because that's what

01:10:37.000 --> 01:10:39.600
I was talking about, like eating... Because there's

01:10:39.600 --> 01:10:41.560
two in the pack. Yeah, cuz when you said pastry,

01:10:41.579 --> 01:10:43.340
I'm like, nah, it's cookie It's a sandwich cookie

01:10:43.340 --> 01:10:46.180
like an Oreo. Yeah. Yeah. No, okay. I I had gotten

01:10:46.180 --> 01:10:48.319
myself confused. That's my bad Yeah, no, it's

01:10:48.319 --> 01:10:51.539
all good. It's all good My number one chocolate

01:10:51.539 --> 01:10:55.000
chip. Oh, yeah, and I am he was my number two,

01:10:55.140 --> 01:10:57.399
by the way, which is your number two And look

01:10:57.399 --> 01:11:01.000
chocolate chip, you know chips ahoy. I can I

01:11:01.000 --> 01:11:05.630
can destroy those I do tend to like homemade

01:11:05.630 --> 01:11:08.949
chocolate chip cookies better. Yes. Or from a

01:11:08.949 --> 01:11:13.529
bakery. I do prefer them soft. I agree. Than

01:11:13.529 --> 01:11:15.710
hard. Like I said, chips are great. I like them.

01:11:15.930 --> 01:11:19.710
They're really good with milk as well. But I

01:11:19.710 --> 01:11:23.050
just, I like a chocolate chip cookie like out

01:11:23.050 --> 01:11:24.949
of the oven. Yes. Like a soft gooey chocolate

01:11:24.949 --> 01:11:26.789
chip cookie. Yep. The chewy chocolate chip cookie.

01:11:26.810 --> 01:11:29.609
The one that's about palm size. Yep. And it's

01:11:29.609 --> 01:11:32.750
like, it's composition is at least 40 % chocolate.

01:11:33.260 --> 01:11:35.220
Yes. Yeah. Got to have some chocolate. Yelp.

01:11:35.380 --> 01:11:39.060
Yelp. Oh, yeah. All right. Well, that's our top

01:11:39.060 --> 01:11:41.520
10 list. And maybe you have a top 10 list as

01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:44.119
well. Maybe we missed a cookie. If we did, let

01:11:44.119 --> 01:11:49.460
us know in comments, please. And now we're going

01:11:49.460 --> 01:11:51.239
to go down the Reddit rabbit hole. Aiden goes

01:11:51.239 --> 01:11:55.039
there bravely each and every week. and finds

01:11:55.039 --> 01:11:57.159
some really interesting information. So I'm very

01:11:57.159 --> 01:11:59.699
interested to see what Aidan found down the Reddit

01:11:59.699 --> 01:12:02.180
rabbit hole this week. Down the Reddit rabbit

01:12:02.180 --> 01:12:06.720
hole, I found a beautiful graph. I love graphs

01:12:06.720 --> 01:12:09.880
and pie charts. Graphs are so fun. And this is

01:12:09.880 --> 01:12:11.520
something I actually brought up I think a year

01:12:11.520 --> 01:12:15.199
or two ago. on the Mark Mo show, but it has since

01:12:15.199 --> 01:12:20.159
been upgraded or updated, rather, price changes

01:12:20.159 --> 01:12:23.460
of consumer goods and services from the year

01:12:23.460 --> 01:12:28.720
2000 to the year 2025. So this is current as

01:12:28.720 --> 01:12:34.520
of quarter four of 2025. And the source is the

01:12:34.520 --> 01:12:37.220
Bureau of Labor Statistics, if anyone's curious

01:12:37.220 --> 01:12:40.560
to do their own research. So how much has the

01:12:40.560 --> 01:12:42.939
price of consumer goods and services changed

01:12:42.939 --> 01:12:46.760
over the last quarter century. Well, let's start

01:12:46.760 --> 01:12:50.579
with ones that have kind of been middling. Clothing

01:12:50.579 --> 01:12:55.920
has merely increased by 2 % over that 25 year

01:12:55.920 --> 01:13:00.840
span. Furniture 9%. Cell phone services down

01:13:00.840 --> 01:13:05.319
43%, which is kind of curious. The biggest outlier

01:13:05.319 --> 01:13:09.399
of this entire graph is the fact from the year

01:13:09.399 --> 01:13:15.850
2000 to the year 2025 televisions TVs 98 % drop

01:13:15.850 --> 01:13:19.590
in cost holy cow because of how cheap it is to

01:13:19.590 --> 01:13:22.369
make and that every smart TV is filled with ads

01:13:22.369 --> 01:13:25.210
now so that's extra revenue for the company right

01:13:25.210 --> 01:13:28.569
so you get the TV as the product but you end

01:13:28.569 --> 01:13:30.909
up being the product because you're getting targeted

01:13:30.909 --> 01:13:34.229
ads sure which is why they're cheaper now let's

01:13:34.229 --> 01:13:36.869
talk about the not good side from the year 2000

01:13:36.869 --> 01:13:40.529
of the year 2025 quarter century Hospital services,

01:13:41.170 --> 01:13:46.470
275 % increase. Ah, screw those guys. In cost,

01:13:46.729 --> 01:13:51.529
college tuition and fees are up 196 % over a

01:13:51.529 --> 01:13:54.850
quarter century. That's gross. Child care. Oh

01:13:54.850 --> 01:13:57.710
God. You want to reference the opening dialogue,

01:13:57.970 --> 01:14:04.630
child care, 185 % up. That's bad. From 2000 to

01:14:04.630 --> 01:14:09.079
2025. Medical care, which is separate. from hospital

01:14:09.079 --> 01:14:12.640
services is medical care up 129 percent housing

01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:15.140
you'll want to reference the opening dialogue

01:14:15.140 --> 01:14:17.460
on this one once again can't fucking buy housing

01:14:17.460 --> 01:14:21.859
up 111 percent oh man now i'm going to put this

01:14:21.859 --> 01:14:24.119
all in perspective i do have one more graph but

01:14:24.119 --> 01:14:26.579
i'll continue here food and beverages are up

01:14:26.579 --> 01:14:30.279
104 percent you know food the thing we need to

01:14:30.279 --> 01:14:34.819
survive food 104 percent up uh new and used vehicles

01:14:34.819 --> 01:14:40.479
are up 25 percent just disturbing greed and foul

01:14:40.479 --> 01:14:44.300
capitalism. And to put this in perspective, let's

01:14:44.300 --> 01:14:47.460
look at my second graph I found down the rabbit

01:14:47.460 --> 01:14:52.159
hole, the disconnect between productivity and

01:14:52.159 --> 01:14:57.039
typical workers compensation. Ooh, okay. So this

01:14:57.039 --> 01:14:59.340
is going way back, I was talking about the golden

01:14:59.340 --> 01:15:01.380
age of manufacturing in the opening dialogue

01:15:01.380 --> 01:15:06.420
as well, from the late 40s to the early 70s.

01:15:06.729 --> 01:15:12.569
Productivity in the United States rose 96 .7%.

01:15:12.569 --> 01:15:17.890
And typical hourly compensation rose 91 .3%.

01:15:17.890 --> 01:15:20.890
Boy, I wonder what happened in the 70s and 80s.

01:15:21.670 --> 01:15:26.369
Boy, I wonder. From the early 70s, this graph

01:15:26.369 --> 01:15:30.600
is accurate through 2013, I will mention. From

01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:36.060
1973 to 2020 or 2013 productivity rose another

01:15:36.060 --> 01:15:40.119
74 and a half percent hourly compensation rose

01:15:40.119 --> 01:15:46.640
9 % ooh no bueno, so wages have stagnated from

01:15:46.640 --> 01:15:53.180
the 1970s to today While everything I just mentioned

01:15:53.180 --> 01:15:58.920
two minutes ago is up 200 % 150 % 100 % And we

01:15:58.920 --> 01:16:02.500
wonder why people can't buy shit. Right? That's

01:16:02.500 --> 01:16:04.960
what I found down the rabbit hole, and the correlation

01:16:04.960 --> 01:16:10.119
between the two is undeniably disturbing. It

01:16:10.119 --> 01:16:15.079
is disturbing, and I just, I don't, I mean, I

01:16:15.079 --> 01:16:16.840
shouldn't say I don't understand, because I do

01:16:16.840 --> 01:16:19.939
understand. You got a bunch of greedy assholes.

01:16:21.560 --> 01:16:25.840
But to this day, what I don't understand is,

01:16:25.859 --> 01:16:29.699
if I'm a greedy asshole, I want the consumer

01:16:29.699 --> 01:16:32.439
to buy my shit, whether it's a product or a service.

01:16:32.539 --> 01:16:35.479
Right. And the only way they're going to do that

01:16:35.479 --> 01:16:39.239
is if they're financially viable. If they're

01:16:39.239 --> 01:16:41.739
not, they're not going to buy my shit, which

01:16:41.739 --> 01:16:43.819
means I'm eventually going to go out of business.

01:16:44.100 --> 01:16:50.180
Right. So I'm very curious as to the stats that

01:16:50.180 --> 01:16:52.380
you read and what we know to be true. Right.

01:16:52.520 --> 01:16:55.590
What's the end goal? the centibillionaires of

01:16:55.590 --> 01:16:58.369
this country right you can only milk the consumer

01:16:58.369 --> 01:17:02.229
class so dry you can only work right working

01:17:02.229 --> 01:17:07.029
class Americans so hard before How much more

01:17:07.029 --> 01:17:09.489
wealth can you transfer up before it's fake?

01:17:09.890 --> 01:17:13.510
Yep. I mean you're assigning these numbers to

01:17:13.510 --> 01:17:18.350
wealth that are meaningless People can't over

01:17:18.350 --> 01:17:20.869
like two -thirds of Americans live paycheck to

01:17:20.869 --> 01:17:23.229
paycheck. Yeah, and you've got someone worth

01:17:23.279 --> 01:17:26.859
closer to a trillion dollars than the next richest

01:17:26.859 --> 01:17:30.000
person is to a trillion dollars. It's unbelievable.

01:17:30.100 --> 01:17:32.520
What's the end goal? What's the end goal? You

01:17:32.520 --> 01:17:36.079
want to be worth one T instead of 800 B? Right.

01:17:36.159 --> 01:17:37.819
What does that fucking mean? What does that mean?

01:17:37.819 --> 01:17:40.020
What does it mean anymore? You couldn't spend

01:17:40.020 --> 01:17:42.960
that in a hundred lifetimes. Right. A thousand

01:17:42.960 --> 01:17:46.340
lifetimes. That's gross. Yeah. What's the end

01:17:46.340 --> 01:17:51.220
goal? I don't know. Well, no, apparently... politicians

01:17:51.220 --> 01:17:53.859
and people and voters, whatever. We've all been

01:17:53.859 --> 01:17:57.100
asleep. So since we're sleeping, we should figure

01:17:57.100 --> 01:17:59.779
out through Aidan what we missed while we were

01:17:59.779 --> 01:18:06.300
sleeping. Oh, damn. Segway. You're welcome. Yeah,

01:18:06.699 --> 01:18:08.279
so Why You're Sleeping is a little segment that

01:18:08.279 --> 01:18:13.840
we do. And that little segment could be pop culture,

01:18:14.039 --> 01:18:18.300
could be YouTube song, movie, something that

01:18:18.300 --> 01:18:22.359
we missed. And, uh, Aiden just has his pulse.

01:18:23.140 --> 01:18:24.619
I mean, really, he has his pulse. Otherwise,

01:18:24.659 --> 01:18:27.380
he wouldn't be alive. Yes, this is true. My finger

01:18:27.380 --> 01:18:30.279
to the pulse of the city. I speak for the streets.

01:18:31.460 --> 01:18:35.960
He belongs to the city. Sorry. What did we miss?

01:18:36.039 --> 01:18:39.239
I'm just gonna shut the hell up. While you were

01:18:39.239 --> 01:18:43.420
sleeping, uh, you missed a podcast. Now, you

01:18:43.420 --> 01:18:46.180
might be saying, oh gosh, well how could I...

01:18:46.220 --> 01:18:48.159
How can I listen to a podcast when I'm already

01:18:48.159 --> 01:18:50.020
listening to this podcast, the Mark Mo Show?

01:18:50.119 --> 01:18:53.880
Well, after you watch and listen to every episode

01:18:53.880 --> 01:18:56.039
of the Mark Mo Show, you can check these guys

01:18:56.039 --> 01:18:59.020
out in between our releases. Agreed. This is

01:18:59.020 --> 01:19:02.500
a podcast, a science podcast. We all know how

01:19:02.500 --> 01:19:07.000
much I love science and fun questions and thoughtful

01:19:07.000 --> 01:19:10.420
discussion. This is a podcast called The Rest

01:19:10.420 --> 01:19:14.800
is Science. It is a podcast launched in late

01:19:14.800 --> 01:19:18.119
2025 hosted by mathematician professor Hannah

01:19:18.119 --> 01:19:21.640
Fry and Vsauce creator Michael Stevens. Now I've

01:19:21.640 --> 01:19:24.739
brought Vsauce up on While You Were Sleeping

01:19:24.739 --> 01:19:28.220
before because I love their content. Vsauce and

01:19:28.220 --> 01:19:31.699
Veritasium on YouTube are two of my favorite

01:19:31.699 --> 01:19:34.760
science forward channels. The rest is science

01:19:34.760 --> 01:19:38.510
though, with these two creators. The show explores

01:19:38.510 --> 01:19:42.789
challenges and uncovers the surprising, often

01:19:42.789 --> 01:19:45.710
bizarre scientific truths behind familiar everyday

01:19:45.710 --> 01:19:49.029
phenomena. How's that for a description? It's

01:19:49.029 --> 01:19:52.850
fancy. It is fancy. Some of their episodes recently,

01:19:53.050 --> 01:19:55.829
to peak the listener's interest to check them

01:19:55.829 --> 01:19:58.970
out, they have an episode called What Day Is

01:19:58.970 --> 01:20:02.810
It Really? What day is it really and who decided

01:20:02.810 --> 01:20:06.899
what happens to time when we leave Earth? Oh,

01:20:06.899 --> 01:20:10.359
interesting. Yeah, right? Interesting. Interesante.

01:20:11.079 --> 01:20:14.579
They explore their Christmastime episode. They

01:20:14.579 --> 01:20:17.560
explore the reality of being Santa. Like, could

01:20:17.560 --> 01:20:20.140
Santa Claus exist if we stripped away the magic?

01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:25.100
The ability to bend space -time. Hmm. Hmm. Interesting.

01:20:25.100 --> 01:20:27.979
Begs the question, is it possible? Some of their

01:20:27.979 --> 01:20:31.460
other cool sounding episodes here. Can sound

01:20:31.460 --> 01:20:36.920
make you levitate? Oh. Right? I would say yes,

01:20:36.920 --> 01:20:42.420
I think so. Yeah. They explore the existence

01:20:42.420 --> 01:20:46.039
of magnets, the most familiar mystery on Earth,

01:20:46.100 --> 01:20:49.220
as they call it. Yeah. Oh yeah. There's just,

01:20:49.539 --> 01:20:53.699
in a later episode, this one was an episode from

01:20:53.699 --> 01:20:56.920
mid -January, they explore the smells that humans

01:20:56.920 --> 01:21:00.590
are ridiculously good at detecting. And I actually

01:21:00.590 --> 01:21:04.090
that that actually reminded me of a of a different

01:21:04.090 --> 01:21:07.069
show on YouTube called how to drink Is the name

01:21:07.069 --> 01:21:09.189
of the channel and this dude just makes crazy

01:21:09.189 --> 01:21:12.770
cool sounding cocktails. Yeah ridiculous things

01:21:12.770 --> 01:21:17.890
that just sound awesome and There is a component

01:21:17.890 --> 01:21:21.489
or Some kind of solution some kind of chemical

01:21:21.489 --> 01:21:26.069
that is the chemical that we smell when like

01:21:26.069 --> 01:21:28.579
a rain is coming Oh, sure. You know how you can

01:21:28.579 --> 01:21:30.699
smell like, ooh, like, oh, rain's going to hit

01:21:30.699 --> 01:21:36.079
soon. Apparently, that chemical that rain produces

01:21:36.079 --> 01:21:39.239
and organic things produce when rain is coming,

01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:43.680
we can smell in the parts per trillion scale

01:21:43.680 --> 01:21:48.699
of air, how much of air it composes. We can smell

01:21:48.699 --> 01:21:51.300
it in the parts per trillion scale. Holy cow.

01:21:51.659 --> 01:21:54.180
So it's just fun to make that connection of like,

01:21:54.199 --> 01:21:56.079
the smells that humans are ridiculously good

01:21:56.079 --> 01:21:59.109
at sensing. And I just earlier watched that where

01:21:59.109 --> 01:22:02.670
he was making this rain, uh, rainstorm themed

01:22:02.670 --> 01:22:06.609
cocktail where he bought that chemical and reduced

01:22:06.609 --> 01:22:08.890
it down to the parts per trillion and added it

01:22:08.890 --> 01:22:11.569
to like this little fog machine that poured over

01:22:11.569 --> 01:22:15.090
this tiki drink and made it like smell like a

01:22:15.090 --> 01:22:18.750
rainstorm and taste like, in his quotes, taste

01:22:18.750 --> 01:22:22.010
like lightning. Oh, okay. Wow. That's, that's

01:22:22.010 --> 01:22:25.140
something. And it was super cool to I don't know

01:22:25.140 --> 01:22:28.699
just see two different types of content about

01:22:28.699 --> 01:22:31.819
two totally different things meet the same Or

01:22:31.819 --> 01:22:33.920
like talk about the same thing in general. Oh

01:22:33.920 --> 01:22:36.600
for sure so super neat super fun podcast I am

01:22:36.600 --> 01:22:38.819
not yet caught up with the rest of science, but

01:22:38.819 --> 01:22:41.640
I've heard enough of it to know. It's damn cool

01:22:41.640 --> 01:22:45.920
Well, very cool. The rest is science Yeah, so

01:22:45.920 --> 01:22:48.100
check that out after you're done catching up

01:22:48.100 --> 01:22:50.619
with the market after you catch up on our show

01:22:50.619 --> 01:22:54.260
It's a lot of good stuff including An interview

01:22:54.260 --> 01:22:56.140
part of the mark mo show called the fireside

01:22:56.140 --> 01:22:58.319
chats, which we haven't done in a hot minute

01:22:58.319 --> 01:23:01.199
But we're lining them up. We're lining them up

01:23:01.199 --> 01:23:04.560
lined up around the block They are they it's

01:23:04.560 --> 01:23:06.119
a tiny block, but I mean they're they're lined

01:23:06.119 --> 01:23:09.699
up they're lined up around the block and we've

01:23:09.699 --> 01:23:12.460
got some we've got some fun ones coming up and

01:23:12.460 --> 01:23:15.560
Some other interesting news that we'll have for

01:23:15.560 --> 01:23:18.500
you. We'll probably have some news next week

01:23:18.500 --> 01:23:24.250
Definitely the week after and I'll not leak any

01:23:24.250 --> 01:23:27.409
more info about that, but it's some exciting

01:23:27.409 --> 01:23:31.189
stuff that I think for us moving forward, it's

01:23:31.189 --> 01:23:34.890
gonna be kinda neat, give us some opportunities

01:23:34.890 --> 01:23:46.710
for some different potentially collabs or segments,

01:23:47.189 --> 01:23:49.949
things like that. I think it's just gonna...

01:23:49.979 --> 01:23:52.579
I think it's just going to be grand. Yeah, a

01:23:52.579 --> 01:23:54.579
grand old time. It will be a grand old time.

01:23:55.359 --> 01:23:57.460
So like I said, the next week or two, we'll have

01:23:57.460 --> 01:24:00.920
more info for you there. Other than that, we're

01:24:00.920 --> 01:24:03.560
going to take a break. We're going to take nappy

01:24:03.560 --> 01:24:09.680
nap time. Honk shoo or honk me, me, me? Oh, honk

01:24:09.680 --> 01:24:12.899
shoo. A little honk shoo kind of nap? Yeah, I

01:24:12.899 --> 01:24:16.979
think so. I think so. So and then we come back,

01:24:16.979 --> 01:24:19.420
we're going to. drink some beer, and talk about

01:24:19.420 --> 01:24:21.739
some world news. But first, it's nappy time.

01:24:26.119 --> 01:24:30.659
Hi, we're back. Hola! We, uh, oh, by the way,

01:24:30.800 --> 01:24:33.619
it's Mark Mosho. I'm Mark, that's Aidan. And,

01:24:33.619 --> 01:24:36.039
uh, yeah, just had a breakdown. I'm good, though.

01:24:36.260 --> 01:24:40.119
I'm fine. I mean, I'd probably be fine -er if

01:24:40.119 --> 01:24:44.100
I, I don't know, had a pen or some gummies. You

01:24:44.100 --> 01:24:47.590
know, level out. Like... the youth of this country.

01:24:48.569 --> 01:24:51.829
Yeah. What's the opening dialogue? Exactly. Please

01:24:51.829 --> 01:24:54.609
do that. I think I'm good now. Actually, maybe

01:24:54.609 --> 01:24:56.390
not. But you know what? That'll just make the

01:24:56.390 --> 01:24:59.189
last 10 or 15 minutes of the show that much more

01:24:59.189 --> 01:25:01.449
interesting. Yeah. I think we'll be good. We'll

01:25:01.449 --> 01:25:04.029
be fine. It'll be fine. We'll pull through. Am

01:25:04.029 --> 01:25:06.069
I that dog sitting sipping tea in that burning

01:25:06.069 --> 01:25:09.550
house? Yes, I am. We got that dog in us. We got

01:25:09.550 --> 01:25:15.149
that dog in us. And it was great. Yeah. Hmm.

01:25:15.590 --> 01:25:18.829
Hmm. Curious. Quite. Quite. This is our beer

01:25:18.829 --> 01:25:22.890
review. The official beer review, mind you. And,

01:25:22.930 --> 01:25:25.449
Aidan, why don't you tell these wonderful people

01:25:25.449 --> 01:25:28.689
what we're about to drink. We today are drinking

01:25:28.689 --> 01:25:32.310
the Wernes Gruner Dark. If you couldn't tell

01:25:32.310 --> 01:25:34.949
by my pronunciation, I tried pronouncing it as

01:25:34.949 --> 01:25:37.609
a German wood, as it is a German beer. What's

01:25:37.609 --> 01:25:42.329
a German wood? German wood? Yeah. Pine? Maple?

01:25:42.590 --> 01:25:44.210
I don't know, they probably got trees over there.

01:25:44.390 --> 01:25:48.510
Oak. Oak. With an umlaut, maybe? With an umlaut.

01:25:49.229 --> 01:25:54.189
Oak. Oak. We are drinking a dark lager today,

01:25:54.850 --> 01:25:56.649
as it is said on the can. As one does. A black

01:25:56.649 --> 01:26:01.510
lager beer. Brewed according to the German purity

01:26:01.510 --> 01:26:07.050
law. Ooh, that's good. 4 .9 % ABV, as most lagers

01:26:07.050 --> 01:26:09.489
tend to be around. 20 on the international bidders

01:26:09.489 --> 01:26:13.819
unit scale. This is made by the Vernis Grunow

01:26:13.819 --> 01:26:17.920
Brewery, a macrobrewery out of Steinberg, Germany,

01:26:17.920 --> 01:26:22.220
and they give no definition. We're using the

01:26:22.220 --> 01:26:24.979
untapped app on our phones, which usually there's

01:26:24.979 --> 01:26:27.260
like a little breweries note in there. It's like,

01:26:27.439 --> 01:26:29.819
oh, this beer is gonna make you taste rainbows

01:26:29.819 --> 01:26:33.920
and cupcakes and some shit. Oh, I like cupcakes.

01:26:34.420 --> 01:26:37.100
It's just a dark lager that we will be trying

01:26:37.100 --> 01:26:40.460
and ranking for you on a scale of zero to five

01:26:40.460 --> 01:26:43.060
on how much we enjoy it. We're drinking it out

01:26:43.060 --> 01:26:48.859
of this beautiful beer mug. And mug, if you will.

01:26:49.039 --> 01:26:52.199
German style. I got it for free. And we're utilizing

01:26:52.199 --> 01:26:55.100
it for the show. That's great. And we'll give

01:26:55.100 --> 01:26:57.760
you our flavor notes on it. So a slug... And

01:26:57.760 --> 01:26:59.699
his neighbor is not missing two beer mugs, by

01:26:59.699 --> 01:27:03.159
the way. Exactly. Sláinte. Sláinte to all the

01:27:03.159 --> 01:27:08.560
lovely listeners out there. Okay. Oh my gosh.

01:27:09.539 --> 01:27:13.979
Immediate molasses. Immediate molasses. That

01:27:13.979 --> 01:27:19.560
is super flavorful. Oh, I like that. I really

01:27:19.560 --> 01:27:22.119
like that. That's tasty. I'm usually not much

01:27:22.119 --> 01:27:24.739
of a lager, guys. We've said on the show before.

01:27:25.399 --> 01:27:27.760
But this has got character, man. This has got

01:27:27.760 --> 01:27:31.409
a plucky spirit. It does has passion in a plucky.

01:27:31.510 --> 01:27:38.489
Yeah, it's light on the nose But that is full

01:27:38.489 --> 01:27:42.609
-bodied man mm -hmm that is full -bodied molasses

01:27:42.609 --> 01:27:47.390
multi molasses is The main flavor I would say

01:27:47.390 --> 01:27:52.449
nice dark color. Oh, yeah God that's really that's

01:27:52.449 --> 01:27:55.310
really fantastic and the bubbles are so fine.

01:27:55.310 --> 01:27:59.060
It's not highly Carbonated not at all bubbly.

01:27:59.060 --> 01:28:01.779
I would say not at all very very smooth very

01:28:01.779 --> 01:28:06.720
smooth A touch of Roasty notes in there roasted

01:28:06.720 --> 01:28:10.319
nuts. Maybe that I can definitely get that yeah

01:28:10.319 --> 01:28:12.579
Roasty nuts, but yeah that main flavor to me

01:28:12.579 --> 01:28:17.079
is molasses that hits right away It's not sweet

01:28:17.079 --> 01:28:20.279
sweet. It's definitely not bitter the only bitter

01:28:20.279 --> 01:28:22.979
I would say comes from the Roasty vibe. Yeah

01:28:22.979 --> 01:28:27.140
But no, it's it's got molasses flavor to it Multi

01:28:27.140 --> 01:28:30.939
molasses without being like a sweet lager. Yep,

01:28:31.000 --> 01:28:35.220
I would say I really enjoy this The Germans just

01:28:35.220 --> 01:28:37.520
know how to do beer, right? They do I think is

01:28:37.520 --> 01:28:41.380
what we're discovering. Oh, they do That is really

01:28:41.380 --> 01:28:45.659
really good Yeah, my flavor profile profiles.

01:28:45.659 --> 01:28:49.380
I'm gonna go Dark smooth and molasses. Yeah,

01:28:49.739 --> 01:28:52.060
for sure. You definitely get that. Yeah, I had

01:28:52.060 --> 01:28:55.000
a roasty as well. But yeah, I agree with all

01:28:55.000 --> 01:28:58.260
that. Yeah It is good. I'm gonna go three and

01:28:58.260 --> 01:29:01.420
a half. 3 .5 out of five is where I'm at. I went

01:29:01.420 --> 01:29:05.420
4 .0. Oh, you're digging it. 4 .0 out of five,

01:29:05.600 --> 01:29:07.880
it does make the elite tier of the four plus

01:29:07.880 --> 01:29:12.920
club. I really, really like this. And a little

01:29:12.920 --> 01:29:16.720
background on this too. I don't know if we just

01:29:16.720 --> 01:29:19.560
don't get it in America or if they stopped brewing

01:29:19.560 --> 01:29:22.760
it. But I know Guinness had a black lager as

01:29:22.760 --> 01:29:25.850
well. But I don't believe it's in the American

01:29:25.850 --> 01:29:29.609
market if it's brewed anymore. I don't. I mean,

01:29:29.609 --> 01:29:33.149
I haven't seen it. It is very good, though. And

01:29:33.149 --> 01:29:36.130
just to throw this out there, especially for

01:29:36.130 --> 01:29:38.510
you folks in northwest Indiana, because that

01:29:38.510 --> 01:29:41.930
is where we're from, there is a brewery called

01:29:41.930 --> 01:29:45.550
Three Floyd's in Munster, Indiana. They produce

01:29:45.550 --> 01:29:47.869
some very good beer. And we may or may not have

01:29:47.869 --> 01:29:50.069
reviewed any of their beer. Do we do Gumball

01:29:50.069 --> 01:29:55.180
Head? At some point. I think we may have. We've

01:29:55.180 --> 01:29:57.739
done something three Floyd's before. Yeah, their

01:29:57.739 --> 01:30:02.079
Dark Lord Day is coming up. May 16th, 2026. And

01:30:02.079 --> 01:30:05.359
they only do this ultra limited Dark Imperial

01:30:05.359 --> 01:30:09.479
Stout once a year. And so that's like a big party,

01:30:09.600 --> 01:30:14.000
big release party. So that is definitely, definitely

01:30:14.000 --> 01:30:17.340
something to check out. For sure. Yeah. Sounds

01:30:17.340 --> 01:30:21.539
kind of neat. Yeah. And I wanted to do this,

01:30:21.539 --> 01:30:23.460
we typically don't do this because it's not an

01:30:23.460 --> 01:30:26.800
actual live review, but Aidan was asking about

01:30:26.800 --> 01:30:31.699
this because I was in Chicago the other day and

01:30:31.699 --> 01:30:37.340
was at a pub called the Map Room, which is really

01:30:37.340 --> 01:30:40.800
kind of a neat place. It's really well designed,

01:30:41.039 --> 01:30:44.579
kind of your typical corner bar in Chicago on

01:30:44.579 --> 01:30:48.770
the north side. Very neat, like there's tons

01:30:48.770 --> 01:30:51.750
of like National Geographic's like in library

01:30:51.750 --> 01:30:54.850
style that you can go and that you can read and

01:30:54.850 --> 01:30:57.369
like a bunch of flags and stuff. And it's just

01:30:57.369 --> 01:31:00.130
a very fun, very kind of cool looking place.

01:31:00.569 --> 01:31:03.789
And this bartender, he had a glass for every

01:31:03.789 --> 01:31:07.869
beer. Like it's really specific glass. Damn.

01:31:08.069 --> 01:31:10.189
And every glass was like different, not just

01:31:10.189 --> 01:31:13.020
branded. It was like just different shaped. I

01:31:13.020 --> 01:31:14.840
was like, dude, do you have a different glass

01:31:14.840 --> 01:31:17.239
for every beer? He's like, oh, just about. I'm

01:31:17.239 --> 01:31:19.899
like, man, that is amazing. That's a real thing,

01:31:20.060 --> 01:31:22.100
though, of like different shaped glasses. Yes.

01:31:22.479 --> 01:31:25.140
With scent being half of the flavor profile.

01:31:25.359 --> 01:31:27.260
Yeah. It will make it taste different. I was

01:31:27.260 --> 01:31:30.319
impressed. I thought that was so cool. I had

01:31:30.319 --> 01:31:34.399
at this bar. Right. At this bar. Yep. Not live

01:31:34.399 --> 01:31:38.720
review here. But it was a stout, an American

01:31:38.720 --> 01:31:42.510
stout, by the Haymarket Pub and Brewery. So that's

01:31:42.510 --> 01:31:47.930
in Chicago. It's called the Defender and it was

01:31:47.930 --> 01:31:52.350
awesome. It was great. I enjoyed it very much.

01:31:52.890 --> 01:31:56.289
Like heavy on the cocoa. Like, yeah, definitely

01:31:56.289 --> 01:32:00.829
taste it. And I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it a lot.

01:32:01.369 --> 01:32:04.390
Was it marketed as a cocoa or chocolate stout

01:32:04.390 --> 01:32:08.250
or was that just notes you got? In the menu it

01:32:08.250 --> 01:32:11.550
mentions it okay and the can or whatever I don't

01:32:11.550 --> 01:32:17.130
know if it would or not because I believe Trying

01:32:17.130 --> 01:32:20.489
to think it might have been on tap. Okay might

01:32:20.489 --> 01:32:22.250
have been on tap So I don't know if it did or

01:32:22.250 --> 01:32:24.470
not, but I know in the menu it did it mentioned

01:32:24.470 --> 01:32:29.289
it was chocolate smooth stout And it was it was

01:32:29.289 --> 01:32:34.270
delightful. Yeah as as smooth as a Guinness but

01:32:34.489 --> 01:32:37.550
the only notes you can possibly get are like

01:32:37.550 --> 01:32:39.989
cocoa or coffee. Yeah. And it's just so good.

01:32:40.029 --> 01:32:42.449
Two of my favorite things. Oh my god. Yeah. Oh

01:32:42.449 --> 01:32:44.890
my god. It was, I ranked it a four. Four out

01:32:44.890 --> 01:32:48.789
of five. It was, it was very enjoyable. That

01:32:48.789 --> 01:32:53.130
sounds fantastic. Yeah. So, um, so yeah, so you

01:32:53.130 --> 01:32:55.569
gave this one a four. I gave it a four, yeah.

01:32:56.050 --> 01:32:58.109
And I gave it a three and a half. Very enjoyable

01:32:58.109 --> 01:33:00.930
beer. Very enjoyable. Yeah. Yeah, it's almost...

01:33:00.920 --> 01:33:03.680
Don't know sometimes when we try lighter beers

01:33:03.680 --> 01:33:07.300
lagers and pilsners and and fruited beers Yeah,

01:33:07.319 --> 01:33:09.760
we often say it's like a summery summertime beer

01:33:09.760 --> 01:33:12.039
like you could oh sure you could picture yourself

01:33:12.039 --> 01:33:14.420
enjoying it after you get out there mow the lawn

01:33:14.420 --> 01:33:18.020
or throw throw the baseball around This one feels

01:33:18.020 --> 01:33:21.560
wintery It's it's a lighter on the ABV scale.

01:33:21.560 --> 01:33:25.119
It's not super heavy on the bitters But its flavor

01:33:25.119 --> 01:33:28.060
profile is just like this is making me feel nice

01:33:28.060 --> 01:33:33.010
and warm. I'm thinking a cool fall day, you got

01:33:33.010 --> 01:33:35.550
football on the TV, and you got Ebola pretzels

01:33:35.550 --> 01:33:39.229
in this beer. Yes. I think that is perfect. Yep.

01:33:39.550 --> 01:33:42.210
Absolutely. I 100 % agree. Yeah. It's definitely

01:33:42.210 --> 01:33:44.850
perfect. Just like the darker molasses -y, roasty

01:33:44.850 --> 01:33:48.289
notes, especially for a lager is so uncommon,

01:33:48.949 --> 01:33:52.050
but it is really, really enjoyable. Yeah. I'm

01:33:52.050 --> 01:33:55.850
enjoying this. Very good beer. Well done. Good

01:33:55.850 --> 01:33:59.590
selection, for sure. It takes us to the end of

01:33:59.590 --> 01:34:03.670
our show, the final segment, world of weird news

01:34:03.670 --> 01:34:09.069
here on the Mark Mo Show. And I'll start with

01:34:09.069 --> 01:34:11.670
mine. This comes from our friends in Canada.

01:34:12.789 --> 01:34:18.590
And after a romantic relationship ended, Ivan

01:34:18.590 --> 01:34:23.210
Collins of Burnberry, British Columbia, just

01:34:23.210 --> 01:34:27.630
needed to do something with it. Thus was born

01:34:27.630 --> 01:34:32.470
the Museum of Personal Failure. Oh my god, that's

01:34:32.470 --> 01:34:34.930
awesome. At the Kingsgate Mall in Vancouver,

01:34:35.930 --> 01:34:37.989
United Press International reported that Collins

01:34:37.989 --> 01:34:41.949
posted signs around the region seeking exhibits

01:34:41.949 --> 01:34:48.130
with the headlines, failures wanted. The museum

01:34:48.130 --> 01:34:55.369
has a wall of reject. with job application rejections

01:34:55.369 --> 01:34:59.390
and firing notices. That's so cool. A knife maker

01:34:59.390 --> 01:35:03.210
with Lynn Valley Forge donated a knife he had

01:35:03.210 --> 01:35:06.289
made that was unable to be sharpened because

01:35:06.289 --> 01:35:09.430
of the chemical properties in an oil he used.

01:35:09.930 --> 01:35:14.649
Oh wow. Also on display are tie rods from a failed

01:35:14.649 --> 01:35:19.310
car repair, failed songs from a local music producer,

01:35:20.130 --> 01:35:23.819
and Colin's mother's wedding gown, which she

01:35:23.819 --> 01:35:28.680
named Threads of Innocence. Oh my God. That's

01:35:28.680 --> 01:35:33.420
so cool. I want to go. I want to go. Yeah, I

01:35:33.420 --> 01:35:37.260
want to go. Threads of Innocence is crazy. Isn't

01:35:37.260 --> 01:35:40.819
it? I love that idea. Threads of Innocence sounds

01:35:40.819 --> 01:35:44.739
like a fucking Coldplay song. Right in a way

01:35:44.739 --> 01:35:48.359
it does it really does like I feel if like they

01:35:48.359 --> 01:35:51.199
saw that they'd be like Oh, hey mate. Yeah, let's

01:35:51.199 --> 01:35:53.100
uh threads of innocence Wow, that's really great.

01:35:53.100 --> 01:35:55.800
It plays right after bittersweet symphony I think

01:35:55.800 --> 01:35:58.079
we can really do something with that. It's not

01:35:58.079 --> 01:36:03.220
very good. So very good. Yeah That's the David

01:36:03.220 --> 01:36:06.659
Bowie reference it is they tell you about that

01:36:06.659 --> 01:36:09.539
I It's like Coldplay and I think it was David

01:36:09.539 --> 01:36:11.579
Bowie were gonna do a song together. Uh -huh.

01:36:11.739 --> 01:36:14.220
And Coldplay like presented David Bowie with

01:36:14.220 --> 01:36:17.279
the song. Yeah. And he was like, it's not a very

01:36:17.279 --> 01:36:21.300
good song, is it? It's like a whole interview

01:36:21.300 --> 01:36:23.260
with Coldplay about it, and they were like, yeah,

01:36:23.279 --> 01:36:26.949
he just didn't like our song. Oh, Bowie. Bowie

01:36:26.949 --> 01:36:29.369
was such a G. Kept it real though. He did. Oh

01:36:29.369 --> 01:36:32.329
yeah, no doubt. Alright, what is your weird news

01:36:32.329 --> 01:36:34.710
story? Weird news? I've strayed away from this

01:36:34.710 --> 01:36:37.130
recently, but I had to come back to it. It's,

01:36:37.130 --> 01:36:40.439
it's... It's a drug of mine. I just always come

01:36:40.439 --> 01:36:44.119
back to it. Uh -huh. Florida man. Florida man.

01:36:44.500 --> 01:36:47.359

St. Petersburg, Florida. as it usually does,

01:37:02.100 --> 01:37:04.460

01:37:04.460 --> 01:37:07.199
allegedly told police his name was, quote, Mr.

Monopoly, during an arrest. The man's real name's

01:37:10.380 --> 01:37:12.960
Ryan Howard, and he was taken into custody and

01:37:12.960 --> 01:37:15.279
charged with criminal mischief and resisting

01:37:15.279 --> 01:37:18.720
arrest. The 33 -year -old was caught allegedly

01:37:18.720 --> 01:37:22.439

01:37:22.439 --> 01:37:28.260
40, uh, 54th Ave South Street in Petersburg.

01:37:29.000 --> 01:37:30.939
Police were able to find him since he matched

01:37:30.939 --> 01:37:33.079
the description from several witnesses who said

01:37:33.079 --> 01:37:36.060
they saw him using black spray paint The police

01:37:36.060 --> 01:37:37.880
spoke to him and asked for his name, but he didn't

01:37:37.880 --> 01:37:42.399
respond after a few attempts The Howard told

the case. No, no. He was transported to the county

01:38:01.109 --> 01:38:04.130

to me. Ace Venturo in Nature Calls. Oh, yeah.

01:38:20.750 --> 01:38:22.390
That guy's coming down the stairs and he looks

01:38:22.390 --> 01:38:24.949
exactly like the Monopoly guy. He knocks him

01:38:24.949 --> 01:38:27.529
out and he walks around like it's a fur stall.

01:38:30.430 --> 01:38:34.930
Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Good reference.
