Hey, everybody. It is the Mark Mo Show. It is
season five. It is episode six, Youth of the
Nation. I'm your host, Mark Maloney. And to my
left, and maybe he's to your right, maybe he's
to your left. Actually, I don't know because
he can't see us. Camera right. Can't camera,
right? It is Aidan Maloney. Aiden, how you doing,
man? Doing pretty fantastic. I've had some weird
sleep schedule things going on recently. I'm
pretty sure I opened like the last three Mark
Mo shows along the lines of, man, I've been so
tired recently. Yeah. Yeah, I've been averaging
like 8 hour 15 a night. And then last night,
I slept for just shy of 10 and a half hours.
Yeah, so. Not sure what's going on there, but...
That's, uh, yeah. Yeah, good 10 -hour rest and
a bunch of caffeine this morning. I'm feeling
pretty fantastic. Yeah, you're spry and ready
to make some content. Absolutely. How about that?
As the Lord intended. As the Lord intended. And
the Lord intended for Aiden to have his own YouTube
gaming channel called Aiden Spelled the Right
in that nice segue, right? Yeah, pretty good.
Yeah, I can't ride those things. Aiden spelled
it the right way, he has new PC gaming content
like GeoGuessr, PolyBridge, Observation, Duty,
and more each and every week. So, what can people,
and now I think you just had some new content
post, didn't you? What do you got going on? Yeah,
three a week, back on schedule after the holiday
break, and it's been fantastic. There's one map
left in Observation, Duty, 8. which I will eventually
get to, but the episode that dropped today on
my channel is this short little horror, well,
not short, it's just kind of long because I yap
a lot when playing these games, but it's intended
to be a short horror game, but it's still an
hour episode called Channel 4 Midnight, kind
of this weird supernatural... dreamscape kind
of horror game that I found very fascinating
and I thought it was I thought it was a good
time and I hope you guys like that type of content
because it's all over my channel Indeed it is,
and it is good content. So if you are a gamer,
and even Gamer Kid Tim, you know. Yeah, right.
By all means, just don't say anything. Yeah,
you're all welcome to his gaming channel. It's
good stuff. And if you like that, you'll like
our new -ish channel. It is A &M Gaming. So think
of your chaos and improv and all the stuff that
we do here. a gaming channel on YouTube, A &M
Gaming. And so, yeah, it's a good vibe. We do
a lot of different games. We do games where we
can interact and we can talk, as opposed to games
where you really gotta like... Focus. I mean,
I suppose one that kind of breaks them out a
little bit is observation duty But still it's
like as you're going along and things are popping.
I mean some of the stuff's just comical Yeah,
it really allows us to do what we do. We still
find our ways to yap For an hour straight. We
really do we really do but yeah, so like observation
duty We do we do some geoguessr. That one's a
lot of fun to do Just just because humans I mean
it's just they They set us up. It's the bump,
and then we spike. Yeah, the Earth is so beautiful
in that way. It really is. It's pretty fantastic.
So we do enjoy that one. We enjoy the BuzzFeed
quizzes. Those are fun. And most recently, we're
doing a new game, which I believe is going to
take us three or four, maybe five. Episodes to
complete and why don't you tell these fine beautiful
people about what we're doing right now Yeah,
we're uh well today at least for for this week
this Monday because we do weekly uploads there
It's a dream daddy a dad dating simulator And
we have of course the dad rector is cut only
the finest only the finest on a and m gaming
And it's it's awesome. We've got this little
unspoken rule where we trade off who voices who
in terms of when they show up in the game. Yeah.
And oftentimes the dialogue box will show up
before the character shows up on screen. This
is true. So we blindly give these characters
a voice and then when they show up on screen,
it's either like, oh cool, that totally works.
Or it's this embarrassing like, oh God, I can't
believe I've made this blunder. But it's set
in stone. There's no changing it now. I'm not
going to lie. The teacher is teenage daughter,
who I'm the teenage daughter, by the way. My
son is the dad. Correct. Which makes all the
sense in the world. It tracks. It definitely
does. So we had that dialogue box before we saw
the teacher. So Mr. Vega. Mr. Vega. Yep. So I'm
like, oh, I got this. Yeah. You know, Mr. Vega.
So I'm doing Christopher Walken. Yeah. And Mr.
Vega is this scrumptious -looking, Spanish -looking
dude. And I'm like, I'm so glad I went with walking.
I'm so glad. Two great flavors that go great
together. It's just amazing. But we're having
a lot of fun with it. So we hope you guys tune
in. Coming up will be the third episode. So we're
going to see if Dad can. can get lucky. Yeah.
Exactly. Or find love or whatever happens to
them. I don't know. Right. We don't know the
story yet. We don't know the story. Yeah. So
it'll be interesting. It'll be bueno. Yeah. Most
definitely. So I guess it's worth mentioning,
because we always start out with our opening
dialogue, that this is kind of one of the saddest
times in American history. And When you think
about it, it's just what war, civil unrest, economic
uncertainty, homelessness, health crisis, but
overall just kind of a very doubtful future.
Right. This is affecting everyone at some level,
but I feel is really taking its toll on the youth
of the nation. And they typically have a pretty
pessimistic view on life as it is. They kind
of disassociate from society and dwell on their
hopelessness and that's why they listen to emo
and all that kind of like, I get it. You know,
things like going to college, buying a home,
starting a family are like the furthest thing
from their minds. In 1950, the average number
of kids per family was 3 .37. In 2000, it went
down to 2 .05 kids per family. Just at the replacement
rate. Yep. And then by 2018, It had dropped to
1 .73. Yep. And there's a reason for that. Is
it because, hey, procreation isn't fun? Well,
we all know it's fun. So it's like, hey, people
just don't want families. Well, we don't know
that. Right. I'm sure moms and dads would be
like, hey, it'd be cool to have a couple of tags
running around here. It's economic. Yep. And
societal. It's societal and economic. And they're
just like, I don't feel great. bringing a life
into this. Right. And to me, I look at that as
responsible. I'm like, you can't argue their
point. Right. So it's pretty heavy stuff. And
so it's dangerous times for today's youth and
quite dangerous for the future of this country.
And, you know, in the question, like, what's
going on, like, at a deeper level? And some of
these things we've talked about but haven't really
directed it towards this. But for example, like
adolescent depression is increasing at alarming
rate. So recent surveys indicate as many as one
in five teens suffers from clinical depression.
This is a serious problem and it calls for prompt
appropriate treatment. Teen depression is serious.
Persistent illness causes intense sadness and
hopelessness, anger. Leading to withdrawal, loss
of interest, poor school performance, change
in sleep appetite, often stemming from genetic
stress, trauma, brain chemistry. It's treatable
with therapy and sometimes medication, requiring
immediate help for suicidal thoughts, but key
signs include irritability and worthlessness,
fatigue, self -harm talk and social isolation,
differing from normal moodiness. So a lot of
these symptoms you can see in kids today. There's
a few different ways you can look at it. You
look at it emotionally. It's like persistent
sadness or irritability, anger, emptiness, guilt,
worthlessness, hopelessness, extreme sensitivity
to failure and loss of pleasure. You look at
behavioral. So that's more like withdrawing from
their friends and family, or their grades are
dropping. We talk about fatigue. Changes in sleep,
either insomnia, they can't sleep, or oversleeping.
You know, they're doing 10, 11, 12 hours of sleep.
Changes in their appetite or their weight. So
they could be dropping a lot of weight, or they
could be adding a lot of weight. And then risky
behaviors, like drugs and alcohol. And then there's
cognitive. So you have difficulty concentrating,
making decisions or remembering. Negative self
-criticism, thoughts of death or suicide. And...
you know, genetics, of course. So if there's
a family history of depression, brain chemistry
or biology. So there could be hormonal changes,
brain chemistry and balances, that kind of stuff.
Environmental, which is kind of what we're getting
at as well. You know, trauma, abuse, bullying,
family conflicts, stressful life events. Right.
Stressful life events. Holy hell. Like for most
people, other conditions could be like co -occurring
anxiety and eating disorders and chronic illness.
Excuse me. In 2022, about one in three high school
seniors, one in five sophomores, and one in 10
eighth graders reported using an illicit substance
in the past year. So one thing leading to another
as we kind of talked about the substance abuse,
right? So substance use during adolescence is
particularly dangerous because of psychoactive
substances, including like nicotine, cannabis,
alcohol, can interfere with healthy brain development.
Young people who use substances early and frequently
also face higher risk of developing a substance
use disorder in adulthood. Kids who avoid regular
substance abuse are more likely to succeed in
school, avoid problems with the juvenile justice
system, etc. Interestingly enough, alcohol use
in minors has actually decreased, but the use
of psychedelics and cannabis has greatly increased.
Right. So, they're just, they're using something
different to kill the pain. It's not like, oh
good, alcohol use has dropped. It's like, okay,
yes, but. Right, caveat. Right, exactly. So,
you know, that is all part of numbing yourself.
And for some, hey, is it just having a good time,
your friends are coming over, you're gonna hang
in your basement, you're gonna hit the pen and
just chill and watch a bad movie and eat pizza.
It might be as simple as that. But there's those
that have to hit the pen all day. Right, depend
on it for their own wellbeing, if you will. Right,
they're just like, I gotta keep level to get
through today. Right. This is gonna help me do
that. Right. Because without it, they're not
in good shape. Right. And as we mentioned, there's
kind of the mental health and depression and
suicide. So like suicide is the second leading
cause of death for ages 10 to 34. Number two.
Right. The leading cause, interestingly enough,
you're talking about stresses. The number one
cause, guns. Yep. Guns. And then suicide. It's
crazy. 2024 survey found 10 .1%. Adolescents
12 to 17 had serious suicidal thoughts in the
past year with LGBTQ plus youth and females at
a higher risk. Depression, substance abuse, suicide.
What can be done? You know, you kind of look
at this and this country's future kind of depends
on this. Kind of depends on us being like, okay,
this is going on. What are some things that we
can do? to either lessen this or fix it or who
knows. Right. But it's a problem. It's a major
problem because when I'm super old and gray,
although that's never going to happen, when I
get super old and gray and this guy becomes my
age, they're the ones in the workforce. They're
the ones becoming managers and like advancing
their careers. But if they're at this point in
their life, and this is how they're feeling,
and this is behavioral, this is how they are,
is that a healthy culture? Is that a healthy
country? No. I don't think so. No, not at all.
And as you were mentioning throughout history
from whether the 50s or the 70s until now, all
of these concerning statistics are rising. Right.
And likely continue to rise. due to, I mean you
could look at the micro problems such as the
negative influence social media has on mental
states as well as schools being understaffed
and teachers being underpaid. You could look
at macro problems such as the state of the country.
Like what do children or teenagers actually have
to look forward to? Honestly. What do they have
to look forward to? You're gonna turn 18, well,
26, if your parents have healthcare, but you're
gonna turn 18 unable to afford healthcare. College
is gonna put you $50 ,000 in debt, which is gonna
be $150 ,000 if you pay it off over a couple
decades. I mean, the workforce, the working class
of America is being shit on daily with cost of
living and cost of goods. ever growing while
wages continue to stagnate or drop in some cases,
what do school kids these days have to look forward
to? Right, exactly. And then you have other problems
such as the certain politicians in charge of
the country literally being in the Epstein files,
raping children, killing children. Right. I mean,
just doing the most heinous shit. And what's
the punishment? I mean, if you're in the wrong
state and you've got a gram of weed on you, you
could go away for ten years. Correct. But if
you're a billionaire who rapes kids, eh, you
know, there's no reason to investigate. We got
the files out. I mean, our job is done. Yeah.
Honestly, like, can you blame any of the kids
in this scenario? Hell no. No, you can't. Hell
no. Whether on a micro scale or macro scale,
looking at the problems is imperative because...
these disturbing suicide statistics and substance
abuse statistics and the mental well -being of
people under the age of 20 being so terrible,
that's the symptom. That's not the problem, that's
the symptom of the problem. Being both macro
and micro problems, these stats we've brought
up in the last 10 minutes are symptoms of a much
larger problem. Oh, 100%. Yeah. And it, as I
said, it just it doesn't bode well for the future.
And I don't think the solution or solutions are
easy ones. I really don't, because the only ones
that can help make a change don't want to. Right.
So if you're talking, for example, about Congress
and they can make things easier in terms of health
care, for example, mental health care, all of
that, and they choose not to, and they choose
to cut there. Well, then that's a problem because
you've got tens of thousands, maybe hundreds
of thousands of kids who can't get the help that
they need. Right. And so just, for example, I
just had a friend and I've been texting her all
week and thought she had a bad cold, she had
a fever, whatever. And and so she's like on day
seven, eight, nine. And I think she's got pneumonia
because she was like giving me her all of her
symptoms. Right. And I've had it once before,
maybe twice. But it was kind of around covid
time. I think it might have been another bout
of covid to be completely honest. But I remember
having pneumonia as a teenager and it put me
down for two weeks. Yeah. But I went to the doctor
like twice and I had medicine and I had things
that I had to do to clear my lungs So the pressure
wasn't in there so they wouldn't hurt as much
like there were just things to do because you
have pneumonia your lungs fill up and They hurt
and it hurts to breathe and you can't lay down.
You have to sleep sitting up. It's their pneumonia
sucks It's reason why people still die from it.
It sucks and She can't Go to the doctor. She's
got to ride this out. Right. I just think that's
insane. Yeah. So when you look at things like
that, people needing regular health care, needing
mental health care, not being able to get it,
Congress not wanting to do anything. That's a
huge problem. That's a massive, massive problem.
Like, look, you don't want to provide universal
health care for everyone. Fine. F off. It is
what it is. At least take care of the kids. Take
care of the kids. And, you know, you've got...
Medicare and Medicaid, but you guys have already
gashed that. So it's like how much is still remaining
when people get older and they need help. And
then people need, quote unquote, supplemental
insurance. They should need supplemental insurance.
They've worked their life. Give them a doctor
appointment for Christ's sake. Right. It's asinine.
It's absolutely unreal. So, you know, you look
at where we're at today and how the youth is
feeling. And those are just some of the reasons.
why some of that is happening. The fact that
we're taxed at a certain rate and billionaires
don't get taxed. Right. How the hell does that
work? You'd be able to fund a health care system
if the billionaires paid their share. Right.
And corporations paid their share. Right. I'm
not saying take everything. People have a right
to profit and have a healthy business and all
of that. That's not a problem. But just pay your
fair share. Right, there's no reason that the
richest man in the world right now, as of today,
should be worth over $830 billion. No reason.
That number doesn't even make sense as a quantity
of wealth to own. Nope, it doesn't. There's nothing,
what do you do with that? You could do anything
and he does nothing. Right, you could buy an
island, you buy country. Right. Yeah. Or you
could provide healthcare for every American.
Or you could do that. You could house every homeless
person. and you'd still be a cent -a -billionaire,
right? Like, for example, the richest ten people
in this country, if they got together and said,
hey, we don't want to pay any tax, but here's
what we'll do. We'll take 40 % of everything
we made each and every year, we're gonna put
it into a pool, and that'll create like a healthcare
thing. That would fund it. That would fund it,
right. It would be funded. So, it's a choice.
Right billionaires literally let people die to
continue profiting. Yeah as a choice That is
a choice they make right and that's some of the
environmental stuff We're talking about and right
can see this and every kid first of all, I think
the older generation Doesn't think much of them
and thinks they're stupid and here's the thing.
They're not they know better Which is why they're
sad because they realize that the game is rigged
And that they can never achieve what they want
to achieve. They'd be like, yeah, it'd be really
great to meet someone and fall in love. And maybe
have a kid or two. Have a white pig fence, have
a dog, have a cat. Right. You know, take a vacation
every year. You know, have a decent house. Something
with walls and a kitchen and a bath. You know,
and a car that runs, I don't have to get fixed
every other month. Right. Is that too much to
ask? It shouldn't be. Right, and there's a reason.
why baby boomers have that just in, and of course
I'm generalizing here, so take this with a grain
of salt, but when I say baby boomers, you know
exactly who I'm talking about, have this sense
of entitlement of, oh, we did better, and we
know better, we knew better. You grew up in the
50s and 60s during the golden age of American
manufacturing, when the post -war earth in Europe
and in Asia were rebuilding their factories,
We still had ours. Yeah. You grew up in the best
economy this country will ever know, and you
still have the entitlement to tell kids these
days that, oh, they're just not doing enough.
Just tighten your bootstraps. Right, pull yourself
up by your bootstraps. Yeah, look up the full
quote, and you'll see how fucking stupid you
sound when you quote that. Yeah. It's... You're
an asshole. Yeah. Yeah. It's as simple as that.
100%. And these are the people in charge of the
government, and that's the most alarming part,
is because that's how they grew up, and whether
through stupidity and ignorance, or through effective
propaganda, there's an entire generation, the
wealthiest generation in this country, that just
cannot put themselves in the shoes of a 20 -year
-old today, or a 30 -year -old today. Agreed.
Absolutely agree. It's unfortunate, and like
I said, there are ways that this gets improved,
right? There's changes that can be made at the
governmental level, changing leadership, maybe
changing the system, period, and just how it
works. Oh, yeah, that's a necessity. To benefit
people and not companies and billionaires. I
really believe that. That would probably make
a huge change. Very, very strict gun laws, I
think, would help a lot. We just had a bar that
was shut up here. We're in Valparaiso, Indiana,
okay? And I know we mentioned that before, so
I'm sure you guys know. Some of you noobs might.
But it's basically Chicagoland. It's like northwest
Indiana. But we're kinda on the edge a little
bit. We're near Cornville and Soybeanville and
all that. We're not too far removed from that.
But, like, that type of stuff normally doesn't
happen here. 20 years ago, never happened here.
Right. But now, like two weeks ago, there was
a bar and every cop in town was in there. And
apparently some guy brandished a weapon and there
was chaos. And last night, which would have been
a Friday night, there were shots fired at a local
bar and they just shut it down and chase people
out of there. It's out of control. Yeah. It's
out of, all of it is out of control. So, you
know, you want to sit there, and you're proud
of being American, and then be that guy. Well,
take a long walk off a short pier. That's all
I got for you, because you're just, no, America's
not the great, there's that, oh God, I'm trying
to think of that, Jeff Daniels. I'm not sure
what show it was from. I think it was like a
show about, Like he's like a TV network guy or
something like that. But like this college girl
asked him a question why the America is the greatest
country in the world. He goes on this rant about
why it's not. Yeah. Yeah. And it's a great rant.
If you haven't seen it, just look up like Jeff
Daniels rant. I'm sure you can find it. But like
it was perfect. Like the first time I saw that,
I was like, oh, my God. I'm like the balls it
would take for a real politician to stand up
and say, right. But it's true. It's absolutely
true. It was the last time the Olympics happened
and we got booed. Right. We're the bad guys.
We are now the bad guys. Yeah. So there's a lot
going on. So as you can see, guys, we're going
to have to deal with it as I age out and then
Aiden eventually ages out. We're going to get
what's on, what's incoming. We're going to get
that. But the under 30 crowd, the 20s and teens
and kids, you're going to live it. You're going
to live it the rest of your life, man. Right.
I feel bad about it. So, hey, hit us up in the
DMs. You have solutions to this crazy shit going
on. Let us know. Maybe you're smarter than we
are. But I know it's kind of disappointing and
it's sad. So while Gen Z and was it Gen Alpha?
Yeah, Gen Alpha, I think, are just kids. Yeah,
they're the most screwed, to be completely honest.
But. Yeah, I Millennials have very little in
common with them Gen X. We have almost nothing
in common, but yet I understand them, right?
I understand where they're at and what's going
on, but hey Let's hope let's hope even baby steps
at the end of this year We start moving in the
right direction because we got to yeah, it's
it's for survival now, right? It really is. All
right. Well, sorry to be a downer guys but You
know, we look at things for what they are. Yep.
And we like to talk about them and interact with
you guys at times. So we're going to take a quick
break and we're going to come back. We're going
to try to lighten things up a little bit. We're
going to start having a little fun with a little
carp idea. All right. We are back, everybody.
This is Mark Maloney. To my left, your right,
maybe above you, maybe below you. You don't know.
If you listen in Australia, I'm probably upside
down. Could very well be. I know you spin the
other way. It is Aidan Maloney. And yeah, time
for the El Carpe DM. You find wonderful, beautiful
people. Send us your DMs. And we read them live
on air. We answer your call. Well, well, you
know, we might. We could. Right. We could be
we could be influenced. Yes, we could be that
corporate capitalistic scumbag and say, wow,
at Jerry does Jan dot com dot org dot edu. It's
a beautiful question. I would love to answer
that for you. Daddy to you. That one hit me late.
He had legs in there a little bit. Kind of lags.
He had that bait on the hook just for a little
bit. He's like, is this guy going to bite or
what? Is this thing on? He's like, hello. Anyway.
So. What was I talking about? Anyway. We can
be influenced. Yeah, in layman's terms. Put cash
in hand. Our hand. Get answer question. For you.
For you. That's direct. Yeah. I like that. That's
good. I mean, if the Supreme Court justices can
be that direct, I guess I can too. Exactly. For
sure. Well, anyway, here we go. My first one.
This is going to bring back some memories. At
GamerKidTim. Oh wow, yeah. Should I read it as
GamerKidTim? How old do you think GamerKidTim
is now? Like he checked into the show years ago,
right? Yeah, and he was what, 8, 9, 10 then?
Yeah. He's probably one of those struggling teens.
Yeah, probably still prepubescent sounding, I'd
imagine. No offense. GamerKid, hopefully you're
not hitting the pen every day, but if you are...
We understand. Taking a blinky off the Benjamin.
So let me do it as GamerKidTim. Hey losers! I
still rule the school at Fortnite. When are you
guys gonna play that on your A &M gaming channel?
Scared? Okay, Timothy. Can I call you Timothy?
I'm gonna call you Timothy. Yeah, I don't know
if Fortnite is really A &M's cup of tea. I've
been asked before on Aiden's Boat the Right Way
if I ever wanted to play TF2, which I don't even
know if that's my cup of tea. Turtle Fancy? Yeah,
Turtle Fancy the sequel. Ah, got it. The seduction.
The squeak -wool. See folks we go off the rails
like we're all serious for like 20 minutes, and
this is all downhill from there Yeah, team fortress
to fortnight. I I just don't know if that fits
into our repertoire Necessarily yeah on our channel
or on my channel, so I Yeah, yeah, maybe if fortnight
decided to sponsor a video We would play it maybe
yeah, yeah not In my opinion, that's a likely
no. Yeah, I would agree. Yeah. And it's not because
we're scared. It's because we're scared of not
having fun. That is valid. That is valid. At
Frankie the Felon. Oh, boy. Listen to you. This
is good. Listen to you guys in jail. Pretty interesting
stuff, even for a lowlife like me. Oh, don't
be so hard on yourself, Frank. I know, right?
So what advice do you have for a 30 -something
year old guy who has largely fucked up his life
but is trying to unfuck it? Well, if you're listening
from jail, I would say... You're on the right
path. Yeah, you're on the right path. And probably
try not to do anything in there that would extend
your sentence. Yeah, no drugs, no violence. Yeah,
yeah. Maybe try and make friends with the guards
or something. Yeah, I don't know I Volunteer
do chores do good things. Yeah, right try and
get a little moolah get a skill if you can while
you're in there Yeah, do some reading. Yeah,
do some reading do some online research if they
allow such a thing stay educated After that shit,
I don't know man If you listen to the open of
this show, you know how hard things are, and
it's probably even harder for an ex -con, so.
I would imagine so, yeah. So I would just say
keep your head up. Yeah. And be open to everything.
And what I mean by that is, you know, you might
be, I don't know, we don't know much about you,
maybe you're from the city, work on a farm, just
like remove yourself from everything that you
used to know that... You would potentially fall
back into bad habits or with bad people. Yeah,
remove yourself from whatever that environment
was beforehand Do something completely different
move to a little rural town of 2 ,000 people
work in a country store work work in a farm farm
hands get paid well and Rural houses are cheap.
So if if you're looking to start somewhere start
there. Yep, that'd be my suggestion Yeah, it's
a good idea. Oh Man, another throwback at Jimmy
bag of donuts. Oh, man And I will read this as
Jimmy. Sure. Hey there, guys. Soda Bulls traded
like most of their good players for bags of trash.
What's going on? We've been rebuilding for almost
30 years, my friends. Well, yeah, unless you
can find the Ben Johnson of basketball. Yeah.
I mean, the Bears were rebuilding for 30 some
odd years also. So true. Good point. Not real
heavy into the NBA. I love the Bulls, but I'm
not a huge NBA fan, necessarily. So I can only
sympathize with your pain. But... I... I don't
know, find a secondary team to root for? Yeah.
Cheer for the Phoenix Suns or something? Yeah,
maybe a different team. Denver Nuggets. That's
a lovely suggestion. Portland Trailblaze. There's
some other decent teams out there that are fun
to watch. If you're big into winter sports, maybe
get into hockey. Hockey. Get yourself one of
those Hartford Walyers. Ah, yeah. Very cool.
Those are baller. Those are baller. So good.
They should go back to Hartford. I agree. Carolina
Pan... I want some Panthers. Oh, there is a Carolina
Panthers, but they don't play hockey. There's
a Florida Panthers, too. And there is a Florida
Panthers. Neither are related to the Carolina
Hurricanes. But they should go back to Harvard.
Yes, I agree. That's what I agree. Jimmy, I got
nothing for you. The general management of the
Chicago Bulls, and I'll even say ownership, because
the people are like, oh my god, I can't understand
what the Bulls are doing. The owner of the White
Sox is the owner of the Bulls. I was just about
to say that. I'm like, if you can draw comparisons
between the Bulls and the White Sox, there's
a reason for this. There's a reason why they're
inept and boring and at best, mediocre. It's
just not good. Right. It's not good. And so they're
going to be respectively the worst teams of their
sport. So it starts at ownership. Then you get
the general manager who's like, imagine a guy
sailing a large boat and he's behind the wheel
and he's incredibly inebriated and blindfolded.
That's pretty much him. Right. That's pretty
much him. He's thrown darts in the dark. So they
have no chance. Matter of fact, just fold up
shop. Yeah. Open a vegetable market. Right, right.
Try something different. Jimmy, as a fan, I would
recommend if you've got the patience, give it
half a decade and maybe check back in. Check
back in. Check back in. I doubt much will change
with that shitty ownership and management. That's
awful. But, I mean, find a secondary team to
root for. Yeah, I would. Denver, Seattle, I mean...
Yeah, anyone. Portland. Yeah. I don't think Seattle
has a basketball team, but Seattle has a basketball
team. No, not anymore, but the team that was
in Seattle went to Oklahoma City and they just
won the championship last year. Yeah, so. You
could jump on that bandwagon if you want. It's
a thought. Yeah. Yeah, just do something. Almost
anything else. Yeah, right. My last one is from
at stonerstanley420. My man. Hi Momo and Alan.
Where did I go? I needed some supplies and hitched
a ride with a magician named Harvey. Okay, I
think I'm in Michigan, but I see a palm tree.
I am missing a shoe, too. Oh, no Wow Doesn't
doesn't he have a van? Why did he have to hitch
a ride? You have to ride unless his van isn't
the veins not working, right? The engine is just
decrepit falling apart and he's going to Michigan
to get quote -unquote product Sure, but he's
where the palm trees are. Now he's seeing palm
trees. Yeah. And he could just be really high.
That's true. That's true. He could be high and
confused. And like staring at some wallpaper
with a palm tree on it. You know what's crazy?
Okay, game theory. Yes. What if the magician
Harvey was in control of the squirrel that's
been destroying Stain's mental state? for a long
time, you know, pull rabbit out of a hat. What
if he just pulled a squirrel and was like, ah,
go fuck with Stan. And he does. Huzzah, I'm Harvey.
Right, and now his day is just completely messed
up. Yeah. He's seeing palm trees. Oh, man, I
need to get out of here. And then he, Harvey,
miraculously stumbles onto the scene. What a
coincidence. What a coincidence. And now he's
looking at a palm tree with missing a shoe. Yeah.
Stan, I would just say keep your eyes open. Keep
your third eye open. We don't know yet if Harvey's
a bad actor. Yeah, we don't know. No. We really
don't know. But I'll tell you this. In the rare
case you're having a bad trip, just look for
the van down by the river. Right. There might
be a bed in there for you. Might be a couple
familiar items. Right. He could just be passed
out and looking at a weed that looks like a palm
tree. This is true. I didn't think about that.
It's very possible. Yeah. What if Harvey was
a fever dream Harvey could not even be real.
Yeah, it's very possible. Oh man Yeah, I made
the assumption that all this is actually happening.
He could have gotten some spiked product He could
have like all we know is he hitched a ride. Maybe
he didn't maybe he hitched a ride But then he
hitched a ride and then things were smoked or
taken and then all of that is just one right
You know what I mean? Yeah, he found a little
red wagon abandoned in the woods right and he
was like Oh, yes. I'll hop in, Harvey. Right.
You know, me, I should have taken the blue pill,
he took the red pill. Yeah, exactly. He's looking
at palm trees, missing a shoe. Yeah. It happens.
It happens. It definitely does. Too frequently.
You know it. What do you got? I got DMs here
from at the chef. Would you take $100 ,000? But
you can't eat hot or cold foods for the next
five years. Room temp only. Do you accept? How
much? 100k for five years of room temperature
food only. Well, there are foods that are room
temperature. Room temp pizza still holds. Uh,
most fruits and vegetables are room temperature.
This is true. Because they're fresh. This is
true. You'd have to eat, like, leafy greens if
you want to be healthy. You'd have to eat them
before they go off. Right. But even at room temp
they taste fine. Most salads aren't necessarily
cold. A loaf of bread. Sure butter at room temp
is perfect for spreading on a loaf of bread.
Yeah, I Think it could be done. Like you said
pizza, you know room temperature pizza is fine
Right because it how many times how many times
do we eat it when we come home and we're drunk
or whatever? And then you wake up in the morning
and you're like, oh, there's a piece left. Yeah,
eat the pizza. Let's be honest Right, right.
Yeah, and it chef did not specify either Whether
or not we could prepare a dish hot and just eat
at room temp. So you could still make lasagnas
or pizzas or something. But you have to let it
cool down. Right, there was, I didn't, I see
no caveat that says you can't prepare it. I'm
taking that cash then. Yeah, I'm taking that
cash. I'm gonna make it work. Ball of cereal,
you know, there's options. Right. Granola bars.
Yeah, cereal's already milk temp. You just have
to wait for the milk to get to room temp. Or
just not have milk. Or just not have milk. Yeah.
Yeah. I think I'll take it too. I'll definitely
have to do a little work around mentally. on,
you know, how best to actually eat food. Right.
You know? Kind of do a little more meal planning.
Not meal prep. I guess meal prep, but more meal
planning. But 100k is 100k. Yeah. And after five
years, I'm still gonna have a little moolah that
I can eat regular people food again. Oh yeah.
I mean, I'll be honest. Like, if I have a case
of soda and I forget to put it in the fridge
and it's sitting out... and I wake up and I need
that caffeine, I'm drinking it. Yeah. And I have
before. That's true. It's not as pleasurable
as an ice cold soda, but you know what? I'll
drink it. Yeah. Just like if you had a hot cup
of coffee, you left it on the counter and an
hour later you're like, oh, coffee. You're probably
going to drink it. I'm probably going to drink
the coffee. I'll still drink the coffee. Yeah,
you're going to drink it. Yeah. I'll take the
100K also. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. 100%. I've got
a DM here from Goldiluck. If you had the Midas
Touch. to turn things into gold, but it's only
for the first two things you touch. Which two
things would you touch right now? Oh god. That's
a good ques - I would want it to be something
that weighs a lot. Right. For the sake of, you
know, being able to have a little wealth, a little
financial freedom. So looking around the studio,
I would probably touch that hardwood desk, because
that probably weighs 70, 80 pounds in full with
the drawers in there. So you take 80 pounds worth
of gold. We can do some quick maths in a little
bit, but that's a good amount. So I touch the
hardwood desk, and then, you know what I would
do? I would touch the floor. Okay. Not because
that necessarily has utility, right? Because,
I mean, how would you extract a floor from a
house that sounds like a pain in the ass? But
if I have enough wealth from that 80 pounds of
gold from the hardwood desk, hard - gold desk
now, then I could just have a cold floor. You
know, add to the value of the house. For sure.
So I think I would touch those two things. Okay.
And I'll let you cook with your answer. I'll
do some quick math. I already know. I already
know. I'm touching your house. The whole house?
Yeah. I mean, if I touch the wall, the wall is
the house. So the house will be gold. This is
true. And your house is probably... How many
tons of material? Tons of material. But is it
surface level? If I touch the floor, does it
change the floorboards on top of the subfloor?
If you touch the house, is it only the siding?
Yeah, I'm not sure what the rule is. Yeah. Because
I figure if I touch the wall, the wall's a house.
So the house, not necessarily everything in it,
but the house would be gold. The house would
be gold, right. So you're talking thousands of
pounds of gold? Right, right. By a country. Yeah,
that right. I'm doing some quick maths for the
for the hardwood desk so 80 pounds times 16 to
get it to ounces times as of today the gold price
is about 49 hunch per ounce per ounce Wow six
point two seven million dollars That desk that
desk now if we take gosh how much does a house
way? That's let's do a little research how much
does a house weigh? Single -family homes typically
weighs between 80 and 160 thousand pounds. Okay,
so let's do that then. Let's do that. I have
kind of a smaller house, small range style, so
let's say 85. We'll say 85 thou pounds times
16, to get to ounces, times 49 hunge, 6 .66 billion
dollars. There we go. There we go. Wow. Wow.
Wow. Wow. Makes my desk look very small. Yeah.
I'm gonna change my name to Elon Husk. Thank
you Goldie Luck. That's right. What's the second
thing you would touch? If the whole house is
gold. How, by the way, would we sell that? I
guess we could use the money, the six million
dollars from the golden desk. To pay someone
to come in. To pay someone to come in and melt
down the gold of the 85 ,000 pound house. There
you go. To then sell. That's it. And then I would
just, I guess, get a house somewhere else. Because
this would just be a plot of land. I guess I
could build a new house. You could build a new
house. Yeah, that amount of money goes a lot
of things. Build a mansion. Build a castle. Right.
With a moat. Well, thank you very much. An alligator
named Samuel. and his child, Samuelson. The last
DM I received today is from at CreativeBullyBoy.
If I give you $2 ,000, would you let me give
you a swirly in a bar toilet full of vom? Ooh,
how much is that again? $2 ,000. No. No. Not
taking it? No. No way. Yeah, because it implies
I'm at the bar, right? Yeah. A bar toilet full
of vom, which means I have to Hitch a ride home
with vomit all over my being mm -hmm. No, I mean
that's a Granted a swirly only lasts what 10
15 seconds however still however long it takes
for the toilet to flush But you yeah, I mean
you're gonna have the trauma of smelling like
vom Yep, even if you ran to the sink and tried
to wash as much of it out You're still gonna
smell like it till you take a shower right all
the acid in there I mean $2 ,000 is to we just
went from talking about a six billion dollar
house To now we're talking through grand. Yeah,
now. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I mean
it would probably take It'd take an order of
magnitude. I think I'd consider it for two grand.
I'd yeah 20 I'd say I would do it. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, sorry creative bully boy. We're just gonna
need a little ball us bully boy We know how much
our hair and beautiful heads are worth. That's
right. I'm hot. I would say one song by those
girls, those teenage girls, it was like a YouTube
sensation. Oh, yeah. And they're like that limo,
don't hate us cause we're hot. Yeah. Oh my God.
It's so good. Yeah. That's, that's. God, I wish
I remember what it was called. Why did that pop
in my head? That's so funny. Yeah. It's like,
don't hate it. Okay. Alright, live research.
We're gonna do some live research. By the way,
frozen guy review. This week I did lean cuisine.
Grilled chicken Caesar. Delightful, creamy sauce,
good pasta. The chicken was excellent. Everything
I liked. Once again, we talk quality, we talk
quantity, we talk all that kind of good stuff.
The quantity was barely enough. I was still kind
of hungry after I had it. Okay. And I seasoned
it up, which is kind of a faux pas on my part,
but I've kind of looked at it and I figured it's
gonna need a little kick of something. So I would
give it an 8 .1. I think if it were a larger
quantity, I probably would have been in the mid
eights, but 8 .1 is where. And is that with the
caveat that you added seasoning? Yeah, I think
so. I think so. I think that's fair. Oh, did
you do the library search? Did you find it? I
found it. It's by Double Take. It's called Hot
Problems. Oh no. Yeah. We wish we could play
it for you. We really do. But I would have a
feeling they would strike us. Yeah. Oh my gosh,
I'm looking at the lyrics right now. Are they
as bad as I remember? Look at me and tell me
the truth. What do you do when people don't know
what we go through? They see my blonde hair,
blue eyes and clasps, but they don't know I have
a really big heart. Don't get me wrong, I know
that I'm hot, but that textbook perfection really
takes a lot. Weird guys call my phone and girls
call me names. But like Miley said, I can't be
tamed. Oh my god. Okay, the chorus, which is
what you were referencing. Hot girls, we have
problems too. We're just like you, except we're
hot. The world needs to open their eyes and realize
we're not perfect and sometimes we lie. God bless
them wherever they are in this world right now.
Oh my god. What was the name of that group again?
Hot Problems Double Take, I believe. Oh my god.
Bless their souls. I hope they're doing well
in life. You right? Yeah. Oh my god. That's too
funny. Bless your heart for doing that research.
That warms the cockles. That brings us to the
other foods. Now, Aidan. Does an immense amount
of research travels the globe that like the one
he's got on his desk and finds the most disgusting
food he can and I mean it's odd it's different,
but mostly Vomitus yeah, just gross. What do
you got? I found an interesting article that
I didn't expect to find during my research my
ventures To your ventures. Through your globe.
I was looking Finland. I was looking Russia.
I'm like, sure, they've got some good things
there for sure. And then I found this strange
little thing they've done in a time long past.
A little something called frog milk. Oh no. Frog
milk. Now, it's not right there amphibians. You
can't milk it like rat milk. Exactly. It's not
the same as rat milk. Frog milk is... A way of
preserving milk. In Russia and Finland, historically,
peasants put frogs in milk containers to keep
it from souring. Oh no. Yeah. Frog milk. You
put the frog in milk. Yeah, I don't know about
that. That's the recipe. Put the frog in milk.
I don't know about that. There is some scientific
backing to these actions. Research indicates
this practice was effective because of the antimicrobial,
antibiotic, and antifungal peptides found in
the mucus and secretions of said frogs. These
compounds inhibit the growth of a bacteria like
Staminella and Cephalococcus. And I just I was
floored because first of all these So called
secretions of the frog are going to end up in
your milk, right? So then you're drinking milk
featuring frog secretions. And there seems to
be scientific evidence backing the fact it does
help preserve the milk for longer. But then you're
at risk of drinking frog juice. What if the frog
shits and pisses in your milk, man? It's like
a small price to pay to have it last a little
longer. Icky. Yeah. So in ancient times in Russia,
and as I said before, potentially Finland, yeah,
frogs were put in milk to simply keep it from
going sour. Seems like the opposite, yeah? Right.
The first thing to realize is, of course, this
is a time before the widespread availability
of refrigeration. So. The practice primarily
occurred in Finland and Russia. However, the
residents did not, quote, the residents did not
have a clue as to why the frogs appeared to keep
milk fresh for a longer period. Oh, no. Who then,
that begs my question. Yeah. Who was the first
one to put a frog in milk? Who was the first
one to be like - Who was that person? And you're,
Finland and Russia are already cold places, right?
Yeah. So this practice is maybe only done during
the summer. Oh, man. But then - Who was the first
showed out there that's like, you know what?
Milk just isn't lasting long enough for me. I'm
gonna put a frog in it and see if that helps.
Mm -mm. Blood, who hurt you? Why is that your
first thought, dude? That's gross. So a little
frog milk there for you today. No bueno. Based
on actual ancient, I don't know if ancient's
the right word, but historical behavior of Russians
and Finns. That's just gross. Oh my god. Like,
don't they tell you, like, if you touch a frog,
you're supposed to scrub your hands? Right. Now
you're putting it in your milk? You get warts
from frogs or toads or something. That might
just be a wives tale or urban legend. It could
be. Urban myth. But, yeah, frog milk, I guess,
is a thing that scientists are like, you know,
that definitely could have worked. Oof. Yeah,
I'll take a pass. Yeah. I'm not gonna do that.
Yeah, and with how refrigeration seems to be
more accessible for most. Yeah. I'm just hoping
I never encounter frog milk in my lifetime. Ever.
Yeah, lest it become a necessity. Yeah, I just,
I... Lest it be something I enjoy, and all of
a sudden I'm the frog milk guy. Right. We're
already the rat milk guys. We're already the
rat milk guys. I wear that like a badge of honor.
You should. Frog milk? It's a different story.
Yeah, for sure. Man. Mmm. Like if the choice
was like starving to death or drinking like a
bunch of... of frog milk. It's tempting to starve.
Yeah, right. Yeah, I think I'm going. I'm going
to the other side. The frog secretions accents
the milk in such a way. In such a way. Yeah.
Nah. I'm out. That's me. That's me tapping. Tapping
out. Yep. All right. Let's as we close with frog
milk. Let's take a gulp of these next segments.
Did you just? Oh, man. Sorry, I stole your Segway
Thunder. Okay, you just made the list, I guess.
Coming up, maybe. Hey guys, we're back from break
and it is now time for our feature segment. You
just made the list. You're on the Mark Mo Show.
Hi Mark, that's Aiden. Hi. Hola. This week's
list... Is cookies our top ten favorite cookies
yum, and we're gonna do our ten to two and with
the big number one reveal and According to my
calculation. I'm sorry. I thought they're sorting
to my calculations Let me see I must consult
my book I must consult that Yeah, there are no
rules Let's go. No rules. Let's freaking go.
Chat. I love that. I love that. So, best news
I've heard today. Cookies, top ten. Aiden? Yes.
What do you got? I'll run my ten through two
and save my big number one as a reveal. There
we go. For later. Alright. Number ten on my list.
Snickerdoodles. Ooh. Fantastic. That little cinnamon
-y, kind of soft, crumbly kind of cookie. Very
fantastic. Yep. Enjoyable. Uh -huh. Number nine.
The classic sugar cookie. There's something so
charming about it. Yeah in its simplicity It's
soft and chewy and it just makes you feel special
on the inside Just like you know you put one
on a plate with a cup of coffee. Oh, yeah It's
perfect little snack during the day. It's a good
snack it balances The the bitter flavorful notes
of a black coffee. Yep with the sweet cookie
notes It does you could argue the same I guess
for like an old -fashioned donut or buttermilk.
You can say the same thing. Yeah. Oh, yeah Number
eight on my list, fudge crinkle cookies. You
may notice a trend here of most of these cookies
being soft cookies, and that's because I like
soft, chewy cookies. Nah, that's good. Fudge
crinkle, a little powdered sugar on top, baller.
Number seven on my list, I've got almond spritz
cookies. That's a Christmas classic right there.
But it's a shame, it shouldn't just be a Christmas
classic. That's true. Eat those. I could just
eat the dough. Oh yeah. For sure. Make the dough
and just eat it. Yep. And there's actually ways,
well, I mean, depending if your eggs are in danger
of having salmonella or not, but there are ways
to make flour safe from having E. coli in it.
You just toast the flour in the oven for a little
bit beforehand, and then it makes cookie dough
completely safe to eat. Interesting. Yes. Did
not know that. Yeah, they actually have, I think
in the last couple of years, stores actually
sell now. Like, they've got regular cookie dough,
of course, which they always say, do not eat,
you know, salmonella and E. coli. And you're
just like, ha, right, don't mind if I do. But
it's their way to get away from any litigation.
Liability. Yeah, liability. But then they actually
sell safe -to -eat cookie dough, where the flour
is marked safe from E. coli, and if there's eggs
in there, they're marked safe from salmonella.
So that's all you have to do. Or you can just
eat the cookie dough and say, fuck it. Mmm, cookie
dough. I like cookie dough. Cookie dough's so
good. Almost better than the cookie. In some
cases, it is better than the cookie. Number six,
oatmeal chocolate chip. Ooh. I love oatmeal cookies.
It's just that sometimes they are befouled by
the existence of raisins. Thank you. Yes. Not
that I'm against raisins. Oh, I am. Raisins in
things like raisin bran I enjoy, the cereal.
But raisins in cookies are just not what I'm
looking for in a cookie. At all. Oatmeal chocolate
chip is a fantastic cookie but it's so rare because
some people like raisins and bless their souls,
it's not me. Agreed. It's not me. I don't like
grapes and I sure as hell don't want a wrinkly
one. You don't like grapes? No. No? Oh. That's
news to - I didn't know that. Maybe we should
do a top 10 fruits list at some point. Yeah,
mine's gonna be really short. Mine's gonna be
super short. And I'll just give you my number
one. Yeah, my ten list starts at two actually.
Yeah, that's funny. Uh, so yeah, oatmeal chocolate
chip I love. Number five, white chocolate raspberry
macadamia cookies. Oh, dude. Good as shit. So
good. And like white chocolate and raspberry
play super well together because the tartness
of the raspberry accents the white chocolate
in such a way. And then you add the macadamia
nuts for that nutty flavor. So tasty. So nutty.
So nutty. It's insane. Number four, kitchen sink
cookies. Oh. So good. So you're talking kitchen
sink, and we all kind of know the term of, oh,
it's everything in the cookie except the kitchen
sink. But no, kitchen sink cookies usually have
chocolate chips, potato chips, pretzels, peanut
butter chips, and sometimes those little like
chocolate chunks cut up super small, so you get
the little wispy bits of chocolate throughout
the dough. Damn good. I actually thought you
were going to tell me that there were bits of
real kitchen sink. So you take the stainless
steel and shave it with a cheese grater. With
a cheese grater. Just, you know, take a chisel
to that Formica. You just smack it. You know,
marble. You got to work at it a little bit. Exactly.
It's worth every bite. It is definitely worth
every bite. Consult your dentist after eating
the cookie. People eat microplastics. I want
to eat macro metal. Yeah, let's do it But that
is something that's underutilized. I argue in
baked goods is the existence of pretzels Mm -hmm
pretzels have the utility to be yes a savory
or a sweet Snack I agree with whether soft or
hard. Let's freaking go Yeah, and it's just like
the saltiness and the way pretzels are made what
they're comprised of Gosh, so good. And if it's
just a little soft, just get it a blue pill.
Huh? What does that mean? Number three on my
list, soft lemon cookies. Oh, that's a good one.
I love lemon bars. I love lemon cookies. Citric
acid and lemon juice and lemon flavoring are
all in my wheelhouse. I like lemon grab. Lemon
grab. Unacceptable! Unacceptable! So soft lemon
cookies, I believe, are fantastic. Number two
on my list. Chewy chocolate chip cookies. A classic.
You could argue chocolate chunk, but I argue
that chips are chunks in just a unique form.
Sure. So chewy chocolate chip is my number two.
I'll save my number one. All right. I've got
a top three at my number ten. Snickerdoodles,
which was your number ten. Oh, yeah. Biscotti.
Ooh. Technically a cookie. Technically. Oh, it's
good you did the research because I was about
to be like, wait a minute, like pastry versus
cookie argument. No, it's a cookie. Okay, good,
good. Biscotti's great with coffee, too. Very
good. And thin mints. Thin mints are great. Thin
mints. But here's the thing. Like at room, here's
the room temperature. Yeah. At room temperature,
not a fan. You put those suckers in the freezer.
I'm in. I'm in. Oh, yeah. Because it's almost
like the York peppermint patty of cocaine. Kind
of. Yeah. In a way. Yep. That's a good argument
you make. I like that. Yeah. Number nine, butterscotch.
There's a cookie with some butterscotch chips
in it. Oh, butterscotch is a great flavor. It
is. It's underutilized. It's like caramel, but
more mature. Yeah. You know? Yeah, that's fair.
I feel like when I eat a butterscotch cookie,
I'm, hmm, yes, hmm. Quite. Quite indeed. I'm
enjoying this butterscotch cookie, you see. I
am. You notice my pinky is out, extended. Number
eight, also went with oatmeal. I went with iced
oatmeal, however. I love an iced oatmeal cookie.
Oh, yeah. So good. That is true. Love it. Like
that cream cheese kind of icing on there. Yeah.
Dude, get real. So good. Number seven, ye olde
peanut butter cookie. Just the best. You know,
it can have, you know, a big Hershey Kiss chocolate
thingy on the top if you want, because, you know,
we know peanut butter and chocolate are just
balling together. Best friends. Best friends.
They are. BFF for sure. But just a regular peanut
butter cookie. Love it amazing. It's great amazing
Number six chocolate crinkle there. We go yeah
chocolate crinkle to you mostly around the holidays
But doesn't have to be it's just chocolate crinkle
cookie that is true It is I will mention because
fudge crinkle and chocolate crinkle is the same
thing the same thing um They're one of the sweeter
cookies you will ever have True. Like, it's one
of those where you have one and it's like, okay,
I've had enough cookies. And do yourself a favor,
because some bakers do this where they bake them
a little bit too long and the cookie becomes
a little bit crunchier or stiffer. That ain't
it. I like a soft critical cut cookie. Yes, absolutely.
You're just letting me hit that thing right out
of the oven. Yup. I am all... It's supposed to
be fudgy on the inside. Yes, correct. You're
right. Number five, ye old spritz cookie. Fucking
right. I love that spritz cookie, man. It is
so good. That almond flavor. Lowkey, it's probably
one of my favorite smells. Like the almond extract.
Like get the almond extract and a little whiff.
It's like, ah, and then I just want cookies.
There's liquors out there, liqueurs out there,
that are almond. extract almond flavored. Yes,
correct. And they're fantastic in like those
nutty kind of mixed drinks. Yep, they really
are. Underutilized. And quite frankly, along
with the spritz, I guess I could put this in
here because there are no rules, are almond cookies.
And you get those primarily at Chinese restaurants.
You find those there a lot. Oh, that's right.
Almond cookies are great. Almond cookies are
really good. Is it like almond flour or? I know
there's bits of real almond in there. In every
bite. In every bite. Yeah, there's like the little
almond chips on the top. Yeah. But in terms of
the actual cookie itself, that's a good question.
Probably almond extract and like a regular sugar
cookie dough maybe. Yeah, something like that.
And then the almonds. Yeah. That would be my
guess. Number four, Oreo. Oh yeah, I didn't even
think about... pre -packaged cookies. Oreos are
good. There's really no other way to define it
other than an Oreo. You could just say sandwich
cookie, I guess. It's nondescript. People know
what an Oreo is. Oh, yeah. Oreos, for sure. The
worst thing about them is, I'll be honest, I
get down a sleeve at Oreos. Oh, yeah. No problem.
Snackable. Oh, very snackable. The only problem
is you have to brush your teeth for an hour.
Oh, yeah. Because it just gets in everywhere.
It's the milk duds of the baked good. Oh, it
is. Oh my god, it is. The cheesy poofs. Yeah,
exactly. They just get wedged everywhere. Oh
my god. The upside is that you can brush your...
tongue along your teeth and taste Oreos for the
next couple hours. That's true. The downside
is you have Oreos in your teeth for several hours.
You do. And your dentist would be very cross
with you. Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure. And Oreos are
great with milk. This is true. Milk's best friend,
as they say. Indeed. Number three, sugar cookie.
Standard. Yep. Good sugar cookie. Number two,
the butter cookie, like the Danish butter cookie.
Oh, damn, yeah. Okay. Those are similar to the
sugar cookie, but a little bit more savory and
buttery than sweet. Yes. I would agree. A little
bit of difference there. Yeah. All of these sell
really good butter cookies. And I think, you
know, if we're talking about mass -produced cookies,
I think Salerno's is a butter cookie, if I remember
correctly. Those little flower -looking ones,
the little hole in the middle. Yes. Yeah, yeah.
You put your little pinky through the hole and
eat it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. They make those
butter cookies. I think they sell them at Aldi,
not that I'm sponsored by Aldi, but that's the
only place I shop, so it's my only reference
point. That's fine. But they make those butter
cookies, and they put a piece of chocolate in
the bottom. Oh. So it's like a butter cookie
wrapped around a piece of chocolate. Ooh. And
I'm like, that's what's up. Ooh. Because the
butter cookie is more buttery, salty, savory,
like you were saying. And then the chocolate
comes in. Especially dark chocolate. Oh, yeah.
I'm in. Accents the Butter Cookie in such a way.
Oh, dude, I'm on that. I might be going to Aldi
later. Yes. All right. We're on to number one.
I think we may have the same one. My numero uno
is actually a tie for number one, because it's
kind of the same cookie, but it's definitely
not. The peanut butter blossom cookie, which
I think you did mention. It's the peanut butter
cookie with the A little chocolate like Hershey's
kiss on it. Yeah tied with the peanut butter
patties Which is known it's a it's a Girl Scout
cookie. They're called tagalongs. Oh, yeah. Yeah
where it's this biscuity kind of cookie and There's
a big blob of peanut butter on top of the biscuit
and then the whole thing is coated in chocolate
dude Unbelievable. Unbelievable. So that is my
tie for number one best cookie of all time. Is
a tie between the peanut butter cookies. Another
mass -produced cookie to just throw out there
based on your peanut butter -ness of number one.
Yes. Which I'm sure a certain Steve Dentz will
be very sad about. I'm sorry. No, well. The Nutter
Butter. Nutter Butters are so good. That's a
wafer pastry out of you. Those are goated. Yes.
For sure. They're so fucking good. I had to stop
buying them. I actually stopped purchasing them
because I would eat a pack, like there's two
in a pack, right? And I'd eat a pack and I'd
be like, oh, that pack's empty. I'll grab another
pack. I would do what Nutter Butter is what regular
people do with Oreos. Correct. And I'd eat like
four packs. I'm like, god damn it. I'm going
to be feeling this later. So good. Oh my god.
They're ridiculously good. Good. Yeah, I like
them. I love them. Would you argue that's a cookie,
a pastry, or? It's a cookie. It's a cookie, you
think? 100 % cookie. Yeah. Because it's the little
peanut wafer thing is crispy, and then the layer
of peanut butter in the middle. Would you argue
then, since Kit Kats are mostly wafer, that those
are cookies? Or is that a candy? That's candy.
Then what differentiates the chocolate wrapped
wafer? of a Nutter Butter with the chocolate
-wrapped wafer of a Kit Kat besides peanut butter.
There's no chocolate in a Nutter Butter. Oh.
Oh, I'm thinking of the Nutty Buddy bars. No,
no, no, no, no. No. The peanut -shaped cookie
with the peanut butter in the middle? Yes. Yes,
okay. Hold on. Hold on. Retract my other statement.
Reel that one back in. I fully agree. Nutter
Butters are cookies. Yes. Nutty Buddy bars. Nutter
Butter bars? What are they called? Nutty Buddy
bars? Nutty Buddy, Nutter Butter. Yeah, I know
what you're talking about. The little chocolate
wafer with peanut butter. Yeah, wafer, peanut
butter, wafer, peanut butter, wafer, chocolate
all around. It's not a cookie, but it's not technically
candy. Right. It's a wafer? Wait, wafer? It's
a wafer candy? I don't know. Because that's what
I was talking about, like eating... Because there's
two in the pack. Yeah, cuz when you said pastry,
I'm like, nah, it's cookie It's a sandwich cookie
like an Oreo. Yeah. Yeah. No, okay. I I had gotten
myself confused. That's my bad Yeah, no, it's
all good. It's all good My number one chocolate
chip. Oh, yeah, and I am he was my number two,
by the way, which is your number two And look
chocolate chip, you know chips ahoy. I can I
can destroy those I do tend to like homemade
chocolate chip cookies better. Yes. Or from a
bakery. I do prefer them soft. I agree. Than
hard. Like I said, chips are great. I like them.
They're really good with milk as well. But I
just, I like a chocolate chip cookie like out
of the oven. Yes. Like a soft gooey chocolate
chip cookie. Yep. The chewy chocolate chip cookie.
The one that's about palm size. Yep. And it's
like, it's composition is at least 40 % chocolate.
Yes. Yeah. Got to have some chocolate. Yelp.
Yelp. Oh, yeah. All right. Well, that's our top
10 list. And maybe you have a top 10 list as
well. Maybe we missed a cookie. If we did, let
us know in comments, please. And now we're going
to go down the Reddit rabbit hole. Aiden goes
there bravely each and every week. and finds
some really interesting information. So I'm very
interested to see what Aidan found down the Reddit
rabbit hole this week. Down the Reddit rabbit
hole, I found a beautiful graph. I love graphs
and pie charts. Graphs are so fun. And this is
something I actually brought up I think a year
or two ago. on the Mark Mo show, but it has since
been upgraded or updated, rather, price changes
of consumer goods and services from the year
2000 to the year 2025. So this is current as
of quarter four of 2025. And the source is the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, if anyone's curious
to do their own research. So how much has the
price of consumer goods and services changed
over the last quarter century. Well, let's start
with ones that have kind of been middling. Clothing
has merely increased by 2 % over that 25 year
span. Furniture 9%. Cell phone services down
43%, which is kind of curious. The biggest outlier
of this entire graph is the fact from the year
2000 to the year 2025 televisions TVs 98 % drop
in cost holy cow because of how cheap it is to
make and that every smart TV is filled with ads
now so that's extra revenue for the company right
so you get the TV as the product but you end
up being the product because you're getting targeted
ads sure which is why they're cheaper now let's
talk about the not good side from the year 2000
of the year 2025 quarter century Hospital services,
275 % increase. Ah, screw those guys. In cost,
college tuition and fees are up 196 % over a
quarter century. That's gross. Child care. Oh
God. You want to reference the opening dialogue,
child care, 185 % up. That's bad. From 2000 to
2025. Medical care, which is separate. from hospital
services is medical care up 129 percent housing
you'll want to reference the opening dialogue
on this one once again can't fucking buy housing
up 111 percent oh man now i'm going to put this
all in perspective i do have one more graph but
i'll continue here food and beverages are up
104 percent you know food the thing we need to
survive food 104 percent up uh new and used vehicles
are up 25 percent just disturbing greed and foul
capitalism. And to put this in perspective, let's
look at my second graph I found down the rabbit
hole, the disconnect between productivity and
typical workers compensation. Ooh, okay. So this
is going way back, I was talking about the golden
age of manufacturing in the opening dialogue
as well, from the late 40s to the early 70s.
Productivity in the United States rose 96 .7%.
And typical hourly compensation rose 91 .3%.
Boy, I wonder what happened in the 70s and 80s.
Boy, I wonder. From the early 70s, this graph
is accurate through 2013, I will mention. From
1973 to 2020 or 2013 productivity rose another
74 and a half percent hourly compensation rose
9 % ooh no bueno, so wages have stagnated from
the 1970s to today While everything I just mentioned
two minutes ago is up 200 % 150 % 100 % And we
wonder why people can't buy shit. Right? That's
what I found down the rabbit hole, and the correlation
between the two is undeniably disturbing. It
is disturbing, and I just, I don't, I mean, I
shouldn't say I don't understand, because I do
understand. You got a bunch of greedy assholes.
But to this day, what I don't understand is,
if I'm a greedy asshole, I want the consumer
to buy my shit, whether it's a product or a service.
Right. And the only way they're going to do that
is if they're financially viable. If they're
not, they're not going to buy my shit, which
means I'm eventually going to go out of business.
Right. So I'm very curious as to the stats that
you read and what we know to be true. Right.
What's the end goal? the centibillionaires of
this country right you can only milk the consumer
class so dry you can only work right working
class Americans so hard before How much more
wealth can you transfer up before it's fake?
Yep. I mean you're assigning these numbers to
wealth that are meaningless People can't over
like two -thirds of Americans live paycheck to
paycheck. Yeah, and you've got someone worth
closer to a trillion dollars than the next richest
person is to a trillion dollars. It's unbelievable.
What's the end goal? What's the end goal? You
want to be worth one T instead of 800 B? Right.
What does that fucking mean? What does that mean?
What does it mean anymore? You couldn't spend
that in a hundred lifetimes. Right. A thousand
lifetimes. That's gross. Yeah. What's the end
goal? I don't know. Well, no, apparently... politicians
and people and voters, whatever. We've all been
asleep. So since we're sleeping, we should figure
out through Aidan what we missed while we were
sleeping. Oh, damn. Segway. You're welcome. Yeah,
so Why You're Sleeping is a little segment that
we do. And that little segment could be pop culture,
could be YouTube song, movie, something that
we missed. And, uh, Aiden just has his pulse.
I mean, really, he has his pulse. Otherwise,
he wouldn't be alive. Yes, this is true. My finger
to the pulse of the city. I speak for the streets.
He belongs to the city. Sorry. What did we miss?
I'm just gonna shut the hell up. While you were
sleeping, uh, you missed a podcast. Now, you
might be saying, oh gosh, well how could I...
How can I listen to a podcast when I'm already
listening to this podcast, the Mark Mo Show?
Well, after you watch and listen to every episode
of the Mark Mo Show, you can check these guys
out in between our releases. Agreed. This is
a podcast, a science podcast. We all know how
much I love science and fun questions and thoughtful
discussion. This is a podcast called The Rest
is Science. It is a podcast launched in late
2025 hosted by mathematician professor Hannah
Fry and Vsauce creator Michael Stevens. Now I've
brought Vsauce up on While You Were Sleeping
before because I love their content. Vsauce and
Veritasium on YouTube are two of my favorite
science forward channels. The rest is science
though, with these two creators. The show explores
challenges and uncovers the surprising, often
bizarre scientific truths behind familiar everyday
phenomena. How's that for a description? It's
fancy. It is fancy. Some of their episodes recently,
to peak the listener's interest to check them
out, they have an episode called What Day Is
It Really? What day is it really and who decided
what happens to time when we leave Earth? Oh,
interesting. Yeah, right? Interesting. Interesante.
They explore their Christmastime episode. They
explore the reality of being Santa. Like, could
Santa Claus exist if we stripped away the magic?
The ability to bend space -time. Hmm. Hmm. Interesting.
Begs the question, is it possible? Some of their
other cool sounding episodes here. Can sound
make you levitate? Oh. Right? I would say yes,
I think so. Yeah. They explore the existence
of magnets, the most familiar mystery on Earth,
as they call it. Yeah. Oh yeah. There's just,
in a later episode, this one was an episode from
mid -January, they explore the smells that humans
are ridiculously good at detecting. And I actually
that that actually reminded me of a of a different
show on YouTube called how to drink Is the name
of the channel and this dude just makes crazy
cool sounding cocktails. Yeah ridiculous things
that just sound awesome and There is a component
or Some kind of solution some kind of chemical
that is the chemical that we smell when like
a rain is coming Oh, sure. You know how you can
smell like, ooh, like, oh, rain's going to hit
soon. Apparently, that chemical that rain produces
and organic things produce when rain is coming,
we can smell in the parts per trillion scale
of air, how much of air it composes. We can smell
it in the parts per trillion scale. Holy cow.
So it's just fun to make that connection of like,
the smells that humans are ridiculously good
at sensing. And I just earlier watched that where
he was making this rain, uh, rainstorm themed
cocktail where he bought that chemical and reduced
it down to the parts per trillion and added it
to like this little fog machine that poured over
this tiki drink and made it like smell like a
rainstorm and taste like, in his quotes, taste
like lightning. Oh, okay. Wow. That's, that's
something. And it was super cool to I don't know
just see two different types of content about
two totally different things meet the same Or
like talk about the same thing in general. Oh
for sure so super neat super fun podcast I am
not yet caught up with the rest of science, but
I've heard enough of it to know. It's damn cool
Well, very cool. The rest is science Yeah, so
check that out after you're done catching up
with the market after you catch up on our show
It's a lot of good stuff including An interview
part of the mark mo show called the fireside
chats, which we haven't done in a hot minute
But we're lining them up. We're lining them up
lined up around the block They are they it's
a tiny block, but I mean they're they're lined
up they're lined up around the block and we've
got some we've got some fun ones coming up and
Some other interesting news that we'll have for
you. We'll probably have some news next week
Definitely the week after and I'll not leak any
more info about that, but it's some exciting
stuff that I think for us moving forward, it's
gonna be kinda neat, give us some opportunities
for some different potentially collabs or segments,
things like that. I think it's just gonna...
I think it's just going to be grand. Yeah, a
grand old time. It will be a grand old time.
So like I said, the next week or two, we'll have
more info for you there. Other than that, we're
going to take a break. We're going to take nappy
nap time. Honk shoo or honk me, me, me? Oh, honk
shoo. A little honk shoo kind of nap? Yeah, I
think so. I think so. So and then we come back,
we're going to. drink some beer, and talk about
some world news. But first, it's nappy time.
Hi, we're back. Hola! We, uh, oh, by the way,
it's Mark Mosho. I'm Mark, that's Aidan. And,
uh, yeah, just had a breakdown. I'm good, though.
I'm fine. I mean, I'd probably be fine -er if
I, I don't know, had a pen or some gummies. You
know, level out. Like... the youth of this country.
Yeah. What's the opening dialogue? Exactly. Please
do that. I think I'm good now. Actually, maybe
not. But you know what? That'll just make the
last 10 or 15 minutes of the show that much more
interesting. Yeah. I think we'll be good. We'll
be fine. It'll be fine. We'll pull through. Am
I that dog sitting sipping tea in that burning
house? Yes, I am. We got that dog in us. We got
that dog in us. And it was great. Yeah. Hmm.
Hmm. Curious. Quite. Quite. This is our beer
review. The official beer review, mind you. And,
Aidan, why don't you tell these wonderful people
what we're about to drink. We today are drinking
the Wernes Gruner Dark. If you couldn't tell
by my pronunciation, I tried pronouncing it as
a German wood, as it is a German beer. What's
a German wood? German wood? Yeah. Pine? Maple?
I don't know, they probably got trees over there.
Oak. Oak. With an umlaut, maybe? With an umlaut.
Oak. Oak. We are drinking a dark lager today,
as it is said on the can. As one does. A black
lager beer. Brewed according to the German purity
law. Ooh, that's good. 4 .9 % ABV, as most lagers
tend to be around. 20 on the international bidders
unit scale. This is made by the Vernis Grunow
Brewery, a macrobrewery out of Steinberg, Germany,
and they give no definition. We're using the
untapped app on our phones, which usually there's
like a little breweries note in there. It's like,
oh, this beer is gonna make you taste rainbows
and cupcakes and some shit. Oh, I like cupcakes.
It's just a dark lager that we will be trying
and ranking for you on a scale of zero to five
on how much we enjoy it. We're drinking it out
of this beautiful beer mug. And mug, if you will.
German style. I got it for free. And we're utilizing
it for the show. That's great. And we'll give
you our flavor notes on it. So a slug... And
his neighbor is not missing two beer mugs, by
the way. Exactly. Sláinte. Sláinte to all the
lovely listeners out there. Okay. Oh my gosh.
Immediate molasses. Immediate molasses. That
is super flavorful. Oh, I like that. I really
like that. That's tasty. I'm usually not much
of a lager, guys. We've said on the show before.
But this has got character, man. This has got
a plucky spirit. It does has passion in a plucky.
Yeah, it's light on the nose But that is full
-bodied man mm -hmm that is full -bodied molasses
multi molasses is The main flavor I would say
nice dark color. Oh, yeah God that's really that's
really fantastic and the bubbles are so fine.
It's not highly Carbonated not at all bubbly.
I would say not at all very very smooth very
smooth A touch of Roasty notes in there roasted
nuts. Maybe that I can definitely get that yeah
Roasty nuts, but yeah that main flavor to me
is molasses that hits right away It's not sweet
sweet. It's definitely not bitter the only bitter
I would say comes from the Roasty vibe. Yeah
But no, it's it's got molasses flavor to it Multi
molasses without being like a sweet lager. Yep,
I would say I really enjoy this The Germans just
know how to do beer, right? They do I think is
what we're discovering. Oh, they do That is really
really good Yeah, my flavor profile profiles.
I'm gonna go Dark smooth and molasses. Yeah,
for sure. You definitely get that. Yeah, I had
a roasty as well. But yeah, I agree with all
that. Yeah It is good. I'm gonna go three and
a half. 3 .5 out of five is where I'm at. I went
4 .0. Oh, you're digging it. 4 .0 out of five,
it does make the elite tier of the four plus
club. I really, really like this. And a little
background on this too. I don't know if we just
don't get it in America or if they stopped brewing
it. But I know Guinness had a black lager as
well. But I don't believe it's in the American
market if it's brewed anymore. I don't. I mean,
I haven't seen it. It is very good, though. And
just to throw this out there, especially for
you folks in northwest Indiana, because that
is where we're from, there is a brewery called
Three Floyd's in Munster, Indiana. They produce
some very good beer. And we may or may not have
reviewed any of their beer. Do we do Gumball
Head? At some point. I think we may have. We've
done something three Floyd's before. Yeah, their
Dark Lord Day is coming up. May 16th, 2026. And
they only do this ultra limited Dark Imperial
Stout once a year. And so that's like a big party,
big release party. So that is definitely, definitely
something to check out. For sure. Yeah. Sounds
kind of neat. Yeah. And I wanted to do this,
we typically don't do this because it's not an
actual live review, but Aidan was asking about
this because I was in Chicago the other day and
was at a pub called the Map Room, which is really
kind of a neat place. It's really well designed,
kind of your typical corner bar in Chicago on
the north side. Very neat, like there's tons
of like National Geographic's like in library
style that you can go and that you can read and
like a bunch of flags and stuff. And it's just
a very fun, very kind of cool looking place.
And this bartender, he had a glass for every
beer. Like it's really specific glass. Damn.
And every glass was like different, not just
branded. It was like just different shaped. I
was like, dude, do you have a different glass
for every beer? He's like, oh, just about. I'm
like, man, that is amazing. That's a real thing,
though, of like different shaped glasses. Yes.
With scent being half of the flavor profile.
Yeah. It will make it taste different. I was
impressed. I thought that was so cool. I had
at this bar. Right. At this bar. Yep. Not live
review here. But it was a stout, an American
stout, by the Haymarket Pub and Brewery. So that's
in Chicago. It's called the Defender and it was
awesome. It was great. I enjoyed it very much.
Like heavy on the cocoa. Like, yeah, definitely
taste it. And I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it a lot.
Was it marketed as a cocoa or chocolate stout
or was that just notes you got? In the menu it
mentions it okay and the can or whatever I don't
know if it would or not because I believe Trying
to think it might have been on tap. Okay might
have been on tap So I don't know if it did or
not, but I know in the menu it did it mentioned
it was chocolate smooth stout And it was it was
delightful. Yeah as as smooth as a Guinness but
the only notes you can possibly get are like
cocoa or coffee. Yeah. And it's just so good.
Two of my favorite things. Oh my god. Yeah. Oh
my god. It was, I ranked it a four. Four out
of five. It was, it was very enjoyable. That
sounds fantastic. Yeah. So, um, so yeah, so you
gave this one a four. I gave it a four, yeah.
And I gave it a three and a half. Very enjoyable
beer. Very enjoyable. Yeah. Yeah, it's almost...
Don't know sometimes when we try lighter beers
lagers and pilsners and and fruited beers Yeah,
we often say it's like a summery summertime beer
like you could oh sure you could picture yourself
enjoying it after you get out there mow the lawn
or throw throw the baseball around This one feels
wintery It's it's a lighter on the ABV scale.
It's not super heavy on the bitters But its flavor
profile is just like this is making me feel nice
and warm. I'm thinking a cool fall day, you got
football on the TV, and you got Ebola pretzels
in this beer. Yes. I think that is perfect. Yep.
Absolutely. I 100 % agree. Yeah. It's definitely
perfect. Just like the darker molasses -y, roasty
notes, especially for a lager is so uncommon,
but it is really, really enjoyable. Yeah. I'm
enjoying this. Very good beer. Well done. Good
selection, for sure. It takes us to the end of
our show, the final segment, world of weird news
here on the Mark Mo Show. And I'll start with
mine. This comes from our friends in Canada.
And after a romantic relationship ended, Ivan
Collins of Burnberry, British Columbia, just
needed to do something with it. Thus was born
the Museum of Personal Failure. Oh my god, that's
awesome. At the Kingsgate Mall in Vancouver,
United Press International reported that Collins
posted signs around the region seeking exhibits
with the headlines, failures wanted. The museum
has a wall of reject. with job application rejections
and firing notices. That's so cool. A knife maker
with Lynn Valley Forge donated a knife he had
made that was unable to be sharpened because
of the chemical properties in an oil he used.
Oh wow. Also on display are tie rods from a failed
car repair, failed songs from a local music producer,
and Colin's mother's wedding gown, which she
named Threads of Innocence. Oh my God. That's
so cool. I want to go. I want to go. Yeah, I
want to go. Threads of Innocence is crazy. Isn't
it? I love that idea. Threads of Innocence sounds
like a fucking Coldplay song. Right in a way
it does it really does like I feel if like they
saw that they'd be like Oh, hey mate. Yeah, let's
uh threads of innocence Wow, that's really great.
It plays right after bittersweet symphony I think
we can really do something with that. It's not
very good. So very good. Yeah That's the David
Bowie reference it is they tell you about that
I It's like Coldplay and I think it was David
Bowie were gonna do a song together. Uh -huh.
And Coldplay like presented David Bowie with
the song. Yeah. And he was like, it's not a very
good song, is it? It's like a whole interview
with Coldplay about it, and they were like, yeah,
he just didn't like our song. Oh, Bowie. Bowie
was such a G. Kept it real though. He did. Oh
yeah, no doubt. Alright, what is your weird news
story? Weird news? I've strayed away from this
recently, but I had to come back to it. It's,
it's... It's a drug of mine. I just always come
back to it. Uh -huh. Florida man. Florida man.
Florida man. This comes from Fox 35 Orlando,
by the way. Uh -huh. Florida man allegedly claims
to be Mr. Monopoly with a birthdate of 4 -20
-69 during the rest. Oh no. This comes out of
St. Petersburg, Florida. as it usually does,
a Florida man found himself in jail after he
allegedly told police his name was, quote, Mr.
Monopoly, during an arrest. The man's real name's
Ryan Howard, and he was taken into custody and
charged with criminal mischief and resisting
arrest. The 33 -year -old was caught allegedly
using spray paint on the sound barrier wall along
40, uh, 54th Ave South Street in Petersburg.
Police were able to find him since he matched
the description from several witnesses who said
they saw him using black spray paint The police
spoke to him and asked for his name, but he didn't
respond after a few attempts The Howard told
the officers his name was Mr. Monopoly. He also
Reportedly provided a date of birth the 420 of

were able to verify that, of course, was not
the case. No, no. He was transported to the county
jail and has since been released after posting
bond. You must be the monopoly guy. Thanks for
the free parking. Oh man. What movie is that
from? Oh. Gosh, I probably know. It's not coming
to me. Ace Venturo in Nature Calls. Oh, yeah.

exactly like the Monopoly guy. He knocks him
out and he walks around like it's a fur stall.
