Heidi Ho, good neighbors. This is the Mark Mo
Show podcast, season six, episode seven, Dives
and Riots. God damn it. We're doing so good for
a while. I haven't heard that shit in many episodes.
God damn it This is called dives and riots. This
is the season 6 episode 8 a Yeah Bite me 6 -7.
Sies Siete. Sies Siete. I wonder, honestly, I wonder
if that carried down there. Right, like Spanish
-speaking kids were like, Sies Siete. Yeah, I'm
like, you're about to start a war. Just shut
your hole. It's Dives and Riots, and I just want
to let you know you can find us on all podcast
platforms and YouTube. I'd like to introduce
you to my co -host, Producer, son, all around
awesome dude, Aidan Maloney, how are you dude?
Hola, doing pretty fantastic. Not necessarily
under the weather, if anyone's worried that I
sound like it. I just slept weird, like poorly,
you know? So you're having a phlegm situation?
Something like that, yeah. It's quite unfortunate,
but I'm up, I'm kicking, slurping some caffeine.
That's good. Because I don't know how to directly
inject it. Like with an IV drip. Oh god, I wish
I could. So I still, I'm one of the plebs that
has to ingest caffeine. Yeah, yeah. We'll get
there one day. I don't know quite what he's drinking
over there, but it's a teeny tiny can and it
has gobs of caffeine in it. Yeah, it's - With
a warning. Yeah, it's a seven and a half ounce
can, so it's a tiny can, but it's got 125 mils
of caffeine in it. And it says, do not exceed
more than one can during a 24 hour period. And
I read that out to Mark Moe before we started,
after bravely declaring that this is indeed my
second can of the day. So, oopsie daisy, let's
see how this pans out. Don't tell us what we
can and can't do. Exactly. You put a little warning
on the can while I wasn't planning on having
to. Now I have to. Right. Because I'm built different.
Oh, aren't we all? Aren't we all? Well, we are.
Yeah, quite poorly, built poorly, but that is
different. Speaking about people that are built
poorly, I need to say one thing, okay? Before
we get going, this happens, if this is one of
these shows where we keep going off on tangents,
ladies and gentlemen, you are in for a little
bit of a treat. I am at a coffee shop in Valparaiso,
Indiana, if you don't know where that is. pretty
much smack dab in the country, just south of
Lake Michigan. And yeah, so I'm at my favorite
coffee shop, Fluid, in Valpo. I will give them
props, because they're amazing. And so I'm there.
I'm getting my caffeine in the morning. It's
called a Voodoo. It's awesome. And I'm drinking
that, getting going for the day. And so I get
in my car, and like the way the streets are around
there, there's like a courthouse in the middle
of town, so you got to kind of drive around.
So I'm driving around, and I'm waiting at this
one light. There isn't a ton of traffic early
on a Saturday morning. It is Saturday morning,
by the way Maybe not when you listen to this,
but I'm at the light and it's it's a gorgeous
morning here. Beautiful outside. In Valparaiso.
It's like low 70s, a light breeze. It's just
perfect. So I have my window down and so I literally
have my arm resting on my car door, window wide
open, and I'm kind of rubbing my amazing new
haircut by the way. It is a buzz cut and I'm
just looking good. Anyway. It's all the rage
these days. It's all the rage. I'm looking pretty
great right now. So I'm just like sitting there
and I'm rubbing my head and just enjoying the
breeze while the light changes. and I noticed
it, but maybe a two -second delay, and the person
behind me is like, and I'm like, just changed
my guy, relax. So I started slowly pulling forward,
making a left -hand turn, and I look in the rear
-view mirror, and this woman just looks like
I murdered her family, and just like is so angry,
and she's looking out her window like, and so
I just stuck my hand out the window and I waved.
I'm like, you know, for a hot second, I was like,
I should just flip her off. And I'm like, nope.
I'm going to wave. Like, how are you? And I think
it made her angrier as I drove away. Good morning.
Good morning, neighbor. I mean, really, guys.
I mean, we need to chill out, people. We need
to calm the fuck down. Shit's getting crazy.
There is a different side to this coin, though.
Like, I understand a couple second delay. Sometimes
people are looking at their radio or doing whatever
else, rubbing their hand in their nice new haircut.
And then there's the other side of the coin where...
You sit at the light and it turns green, and
I'm behind someone that's clearly on their phone,
and I'm trying to be patient, and more and more
seconds pass, and I have to lay on the horn,
and by the time they start going, the light's
already yellow, which means I have to wait an
entire second light cycle because this asshole
wasn't paying attention. I do get that. There
is a certain amount of patience we all should
have, but if it's like... If I'm waiting there
5, 6, 8, 10 seconds. No, I get that. I get that.
This was literally maybe two tops. And it's not
like I was even looking at my phone. I'm just
sitting there enjoying the beautiful morning.
And for her to be like that, I'm like, all right,
babe, if you are that late, you should have left
10 minutes ago. And that's a you problem, not
a me problem. Yeah. That's exactly the way I
look at it. Right. If that two seconds was the
difference between you clocking in on time or
not. Right. That's, homie, you could have just
left a little earlier. That's all I'm saying.
That's all I'm saying. Chill out, people. Anyway,
oh, you're in for a treat today. I'm feeling
hoppy. Spry. Spry. I am. Epic and cool. Kind
of am I kind of am I I feel and I don't know
if this is the Gen X in me coming out Because
largely our generation has checked the fuck out
I just want to say it feels good to do that.
I'm not even gonna lie. I love the fact that
Largely, and I know it's a broad generalization,
but largely my generation has kind of looked
at things and gone Nah, you know what? Really,
I'm good. I'm checking out of Hotel America.
I have had my share of this shit. And I kind
of adopted that. And it's working for me at work.
It's working for me at life. If there's people
that love being around me and want to be with
me and like part of that, amazing. If you don't...
I don't have time for your bullshit. I don't
have time for you And it's it's I feel better.
Yeah, I really i'm starting to feel better and
it's been a while because it's been a while It's
been a while and and quite honestly, uh I put
a lot into friendships and relationships. Always
have, always will. My dad was the same way. I
think this guy to my left is kind of that way,
too. We invest a lot into our relationships.
And so when shit doesn't work out, then it affects
us. You know, a job we like doesn't work out.
It affects us. And whatever the case might be,
just as an example. But I don't know if I'm turning
a corner or what the situation is. But I'm finding
that, adopting that a little bit of where I just
don't give a fuck. I just don't care. And I just
kind of continue on with my day. It's been good.
Yeah. And it's been a while since I've been able
to sit here and be like, hey, it's good. That's
bueno. So I don't know if I'm turning a corner
or what the situation is. But yeah, not too...
Not too shabby. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like I've
done similar in kind of in my distancing from
social media that I've done over the last handful
of years where I just don't I just don't log
on. Yeah. Like I don't open Facebook. I don't
open Twitter. I don't I don't open Instagram.
Like the only one I use anymore is Reddit and
that's just to like stay up on news and help
prep for the show. And it's kind of nice, right?
Because it's a lot more freeing to not feel obligated
to interact with things online. And then I can
just like do other stuff. Like my mind isn't
preoccupied with the webosphere where I can just
kind of... I don't know if dissociate is the
right word, but it's close enough. Get enough
enough like getting rid of the bullshit and I
get that like I deleted my Facebook app off my
phone and Like I'll have a tab on the internet
part of my phone So if I do want to check into
Facebook usually a promoting my stuff here or
be saying happy birthday to people. That's it.
That's pretty much what I use it for. I'll do
a quick scroll on the feed if somebody's in the
hospital or something going on. I do want to
know that. It is still three quarters bullshit,
which is why I'm not on it very much. I like
the more visual. Social media. So just like insta
people posting photos of shit and even though
people used to get annoyed Like I mean got people
taking a picture of their food I'd rather have
people show me some awesome ass food theory.
Yeah, then read up on a bunch of bullshit Yeah,
so I I do actually kind of enjoy that because
if I see something baller I'll be like Oh, that
looks good. Where did they eat that? We've come
full circle to appreciating the food from disliking
those to now being like, all right, I guess I'm
kind of on board. You know, so I do kind of like
that, you know, sharing a cool event or what
you've been eating or whatever. I would much
rather see that if I'm just going to waste 10
or 15 minutes on social media than the bullshit
threads. I've actually spent more time on threads
than any other platform lately because the algorithm
seems to work. Because, like, a lot of stuff
that I'm interested in, it's almost on my feed.
Yeah. And so, whatever they're doing, and I believe
they're owned by Metta. I think that's right.
So, it's like, okay, if your threads people can
figure this shit out, why is it that I go on
to Facebook and, like, the first thing in my
feed is a post some guy had five days ago. Right.
What I would have loved to have seen that five
days ago now. I'm seeing it now I'm not gonna
comment on it because it's five days old right.
It's so stupid But we could go on we could go
on I'm telling you folks, this is a day. This
is going to be a show for you. This is one of
the days of all time. I don't know what it is.
It's maybe my new attitude. Things are improving
in my life. The show is 6 -7. I mean, who knows?
There was a full moon. We just had a full moon.
I mean, who knows what's going to happen here?
I wonder if that's why I'm so tired. I turned
into a werewolf yesterday. I think you did. And
then got like allergies or something. Now, there's
a couple of dead chickens in your yard, so there
might be... I have no association with that.
I don't know how that happened. Okay, fair enough.
Yeah. Okay. Anyway, Aiden has his own YouTube
gaming channel called Aiden Spelled the Right
Way. New PC gaming content every week, GeoGuess
or PolyBridge, Observation Duty, and tons and
tons of content on horror... horror games? Horror
games. Not horror games. He doesn't play games
with whores in it. But I mean, you could. You
could. They exist. Heavily edited. Yeah, right.
Spend more time editing than playing the game.
Exactly. That would be insane. Horror games.
H -O -R -R -O -R. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Because
sometimes it gets lost in translation. Sure.
A little bit. Yeah. Like the transcript, the
closed captions get a little confused. And it's
like, man, these guys really love horror games.
They like horror games. Well, quite frankly,
so do I. Anyway, so what you've been doing on
the old... the Aidan spell the right way. Well,
I'm always trucking along with indie horror games.
I think they're fantastic. There's one that I
found very interesting that'll be going up. I
think it's going up on Monday. It's called Take
Care of the Dog. That's the name of the game.
And it's like... So is it like a Tamagotchi or
is that what those things are called? Tamagotchi.
Tamagotchi. Yeah. So that's kind of what I expected.
I'm like, oh, it'll be a fun little game. It's
kind of like Doom -style graphics where it's
a little pixelated and you just look left and
right and walk around. That's kind of fun. You
play ball with the dog. But then something happens.
Uh -oh. To kill it? Hmm. No spoilers. You'll
just have to watch the video. So that'll be going
up. That one's super fun. I've been playing more
simulator style games. I remember we talked about
the unemployment simulator I played last week.
That's still too close for me. I don't think
I can play that one right now. So I've got a
couple more on the docket. So it's just fun stuff.
That's awesome. We'll definitely check it out.
That's on YouTube. And also on YouTube is A &M
Gaming. So basically what we've done is we take
kind of the improv silliness that you guys love
on this show, and we play games. So kind of like
he does on his gaming platform. And we have a
lot of fun with it. So we do things like, well,
like GeoGuessr and Observation Duty. We've done
some of... quizzes. Yeah. Buzzfeed quizzes. I
always forget Buzzfeed. I don't know why. Buzzfeed
quiz, and it's been around forever. Yeah. Buzzfeed
quizzes. We actually, at some point, are going
to get re -engaged with Dream Daddy. That is
something special. We take breaks on it because
sometimes it just, it gets too intense and some
of the voices we do man. They were on us man.
I change this one voice. I don't know how I'm
going to get back to doing it again, but it's
a storyboard game and it's a lot of fun and we
do voices for all the different characters. And
originally when we decided to do it, it's the
main characters of this guy who's Devo, I don't
know if he's single. I don't know if the wife
died or divorced. I believe it's implied that
she passed away. That she passed away. So there's
a single dad and a teenage daughter and I told
Ada and I said, you know, I'll do it, but you
have to play the role of the dad and I will play.
the teenage daughter, who is now a full -fledged
alcoholic. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Did not know it
was going that direction. But if you tune in
to those, you'll learn why. Yeah. There are certain
rules we've made along the way. Absolutely. It
leads to some funny things happening. I think
so. I think so. So yeah, you guys have liked
it. So at some point, we will get back to that.
But check it out. You guys seem to like the GeoGuessr
stuff that we do. We seem to get a little bit
more engagement and likes and all that. So once
again, on all our content, please like and share
and all that kind of good stuff. We appreciate
that very much. But anyway, anything else you
want to add before we get cooking? No, I think
we put our chef's hat on because we're about
to start cooking. We are about to start cooking.
We're so hopped up right now. It's insane. Like,
I don't even know if I'd be able to do this show
if I had an Adderall. I'm going to be completely...
I'd probably be bouncing off the freaking walls
right now. But at any rate, look, nothing beats...
chicagoland in the summer and i honestly say
that be like hey dude you're a homer and i'm
like yeah but and and uh i've also been to like
44 states and most of the major cities in this
country so i do have some cred when i say this
nothing beats chicagoland in the summer walks
by the lake Exploring the dunes. Dining outdoors
at your favorite restaurant or bar. Catching
a ball game. Going to the dozens and dozens of
neighborhood festivals and markets and all that
kind of stuff. Warm summer nights are amazing
here in Chicagoland. Just kind of... A little
breeze off the lake. Get real. Having a cold
beer. Looking up at the stars. you know, or getting
lost during a night hike in the woods. That's
a different story altogether that probably one
other person knows. And nothing beats summer
in Chi -Town, period. There's just, it's the
best city. I can't say the world, because that
I haven't been to. But I can say it's probably
the best summer experience of the major cities
in the United States. Fair. Fair point. I think
it's a fair comment. So, summer... To me has
a specific beginning and ending for many. It's
as simple as Memorial Day Labor Day Also known
as the when you can drink a gin and tonic time
So always comes back to drinkies, which we'll
be having soon So for the younger generation
It can be as simple as and in beginning of school
years, you know, and I kind of get that too for
me It's the dive bar bus tour in northwest, Indiana
And on the opposite end, Riot Fest and Douglas
Park in Chicago. That's my son. It's kind of
the beginning and the end of it. And so just
to give you an idea, because for people outside
the region, you're probably like, what's that?
Dibar bus tour. That takes place this year, June
13th. And they're on their fifth one. And it
covers different parts of what we call the region.
So we're part of Chicagoland, but Lake and Porter
County in Northwest Indiana is also called the
region. We are the only parts of Indiana that
are considered central time, I believe. Well,
La Porte too, yeah? Yeah, I believe it's those
three, yeah. So La Porte is part of that as well.
Didn't mean to exclude you, LePort. We love you.
So, and Aidan's like, well. So anyway, we're
Considered Chicagoland, so we're on Central Time,
because there's a lot of people that live in
one and work in the other and vice versa. So
we're part of Chicago. We get their Chicago news.
We get the Chicago sports. We're on Central Time.
So we're actually kind of part of that, even
though we're in the state of Indiana. So yeah,
we're the cool part of Indiana. or by law, Chicagoland.
Chicagoland, yes we are. That's been a moniker
that we've had since like the 1930s, so we just
didn't make that up. At any rate, we had this
dive bar bus tour, and it takes place in different
spots, and it always starts at the same place.
It always starts at a bar called Lake Dale Ale,
which is in Lowell, and we kind of bounce from
there. So sometimes they'll go out to Valpo,
they'll go out to Michigan City, they'll go out
to Hobart, they'll go out to all these different
places. This year, we are going to Cedar Lake,
which is kind of a, it's kind of a cool, like
you, you wouldn't imagine this lake being there
if you're just like on the main roads. It just
looks like this tiny ass, tiny little town. Yeah.
Little Indiana town, right? You don't think much
of it. But when you kind of Tool around these
little weird roads. He gets a lake and you're
like, well, it's kind of beautiful Yeah, this
is pretty cool and there's lots of cool little
bars and restaurants all along the lake if you
take your time to go there so the dive bar bus
tour is going to make a few stops in Cedar Lake
and then they're coming back to Crown Point so
in the region which we just discussed there are
pretty much two main cities? Well, that's not
true. If you look at Hammond and Gary, they're
kind of their own thing up along the lake. They're
close to the South Shore. They're close to the
South Shore, but I guess as far as your county
seats, the two cities are Valpo. in Porter County
and Crown Point in Lake County. So we're going
to end up in Crown Point, which is a very cool
little downtown area. Lots of neat little bars
there. Shout out to Zombie Club, which is on
one of the stops this year, which I'm really
psyched about. So, yeah, so we're just going
to bounce around. It's a big bus that takes like
70 people and they sell out every time. And we
just bounce to each place. And the trick to it,
number one is day drinking. Which is a lot more
fun than you think. Okay, and then you encounter
people that just get their night started like
eight or nine o 'clock And you're like already
done. You're just like yeah Check, please. Yeah,
like I think my day's over but at any rate Yeah,
it's it's it's just a different vibe. There's
music on the bus. You're meeting a lot of different
people You're just shooting the shit having a
good time actually, maybe even do a little drinking
on the bus Whatever the case might be but it's
just a fun day and bounce in all these different
places. They have themes so this theme is the
80s, so I'm definitely in the market for like
a mullet wig. If I can find one, I will wear
that thing for sure, without a doubt. If not,
I know I've got Iron Maiden t -shirts and that
will fit the bill 100%. But yeah, so it's going
to be a ton of fun. We're going to have a great
time. And that is, I think, to be fair, a great
start, a celebration, if you will. for the summer
season. I think it's a great way to get started.
By the way, if any of you folks listening or
going on this, now that I'm on my third one,
Aiden will be on his second one, we just want
to make very clear to you that if you're on it
and you're doing it and you are a noob, it is
a marathon, it is not a sprint. I think the most
fun Aidan and I had together on his first one
was watching people drop. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Some
of them were rough. And I mean, we were just
getting to our third bar, and there were people
already just sloshed. I'm like, guys, you gotta
pace. I mean, this bus ain't stopping for three
more hours. I mean. Yeah, like, it's before noon,
and these kids, bless their hearts, quite dumb.
Yeah. Quite dumb, and they're just. gone by like
1130 it's like dude this doesn't wrap up to like
5 p .m. right exactly yeah so it's it's a it's
a thing man it is definitely a thing so Yes,
so just pace yourself. You can always, you can
always, you know, feel the need to pick up a
little bit later in the day if you want. It always
starts and finishes at Lake Dale. So Lake Dale's
awesome because then you get back there. By the
way, I know one of the bartenders, Gail, she
used to be a bartender at 113 Northern Crown
Point. She's now a bartender at Lake Dale. So
it'll be cool because at the end of it, then
I'll get to hang out with her as well. Will get
to hang out with her, Aidan's better as well.
So it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be great. They
have they make pizzas and stuff. So You know
if you want to have a couple of slices and another
beer to kind of finish out the crawl That's that's
that's a good day. It's allowed. Yeah, it's allowed
or encouraged even so yeah, that's a great great
beginning now That is that's the beginning as
we say of the summer for for for me the summer
ends for me with Riot Fest in Douglas Park in
Chicago. Now Riot Fest is an alternative music
festival held by Q101. Last year marked its 20th
Riot Fest. I attended for the first time last
year, 19 before that one, and I never had the
opportunity to go or shit came up or whatever.
But I just went by myself cuz they're like, you
know, I'm like, well, I you know I told other
people you want to go bye -bye my this and that
a lot of people last -minute decision I'm like,
yeah, so I just went by myself and I have to
say it's maybe one of the best times I've ever
had at live shows I think of all the bands that
I saw, like some of the ones that really stuck
out for me were like Front Bottoms, Knuckle Puck,
James, Dropkick Murphys, Jack White, All Time
Low, Weezer. That's maybe a fifth of the bands
that played that day. Just awesome. The goire,
he's just spitting their fake blood all around
in Chevy. I mean, it's just crazy, crazy fun,
right? And it's really a fair. I mean, there's
food tents, all the beer you can drink, 312 Tall
Boys. As soon as I saw that, I'm like, I'm in
trouble. I gotta make it through the day, you
know? So it was just so much fun. I went on one
day. So this year... I'm definitely eyeing towards
doing the whole weekend because I think it's
great. Hopefully I can have the opportunity,
maybe do like an Airbnb kind of thing so I don't
have to keep going back and forth to the region,
to Chicago. I think it would just be a lot easier
if not maybe just crash with a friend or something.
But here are some of the bands. Now, the headliners
alone are enough to make me want to go. Tool,
great. 21 Pilots. Awesome. Pierce the Veil. Rise
Against. Alanis Morissette. Awesome. That's crazy.
That's crazy right there. That's crazy. Like
I would go to that show just based on that. Some
of the other bands, and I think they did such
an amazing job of like Gen Z, Millennials, Gen
X, and taking the musical interests of all three
and cramming them into a three -day weekend.
Because it's just dotted with bands that all
those generations have. And the cool thing is
you go to this, and there's people that are 60,
and there's people that are in their teens. And
I'm like, that's with this. It goes back to the
multi -generational thing, right? It's just like,
this Riot Fest was kind of meant for that. And
it's just so cool. Well, so are Iron Maiden shows.
That's a different show. But at any rate, here's
some other bands. Social Distortion, Alkaline
Trio, Bad Religion, Nas is gonna be there. That's
so cool. Oh my god, that's awesome. All American
Rejects, Pennywise, Morrissey, Iggy Pop, Elvis
Costello, Pixies, Patti Smith, Sugar, Sex Pistols,
Bowling for Soup, Tricky Pup, and I could go
on. Awesome. Yeah. Awesome. I just I can't what
a weekend what a weekend and it drives me crazy
The only thing drives me crazy is right fist
waits so long to make the announcement They try
to do a lot of pre -sales before that, but I'm
like, okay number one. I need to know what we're
doing here Yeah, cuz like if the headliners are
just okay Then I'll think twice. They'll be like
mad Do I want to spend that money and seeing
some mid card kind of yeah bands? Whatever. I
don't know. But if the headliners are baller,
then yeah, I'll go and then I'll you know like
when i went last year and i i honestly ladies
and gentlemen you know i'm a music guy never
heard of the front bottoms and i went to the
show and i'm like these guys are great yeah how
the hell did i sleep on these guys so i always
run into at festivals like this i always run
into one or two bands i just have not listened
to or don't know about and then i'm like holy
shit i love these dudes yeah yeah uh so that
was really great all time low was a band that
i knew about but never really got into them uh
and then they had that new song come out called
weather and i liked it I'm like, oh, this is
a really great song. I can't believe they're
still making great music. Not that they're that
old, but they've been around a little bit. And
then when I got the opportunity to see them live,
I'm like, oh, these guys are great. These guys
are really in their good live. So it's awesome.
It's such a great way to end the summer. In September
in Chicago, you can still get those summer temps.
But when the sun goes down, it's cool, and it's
nice, and I love it, man. Especially being closer
to the lake. Oh yeah, for sure. Oh, there's no
doubt. So, you know, as I say, that's my summer,
right? Beginning and end. That's just kind of
how it shapes out. So, like for you, what's your
take on that? Does that make sense to you? Do
you have like a beginning or an end or like things
that kind of usher summer in for you? Yes and
no. Mine's a little different because of my job
being a beverage Deliveryman You're doing the
Lord's work doing the Lord's work Busting my
balls getting cakes out to people who need them
and From Memorial Day to Labor Day. That's kind
of what I consider my summertime because from
Memorial Day to Labor Day every work day is just
physically brutal Yeah, physically brutal and
I get my ass kicked and by the time I get home
I'm so tired. I don't actually want to do anything
So it's it's a little more depressing on that
end because of just because the line of work.
I'm in the career I've got yeah, so that's kind
of what I consider my summer But I've always
been and I know we talk about this a lot both
on and off the microphone Spring and fall are
my seasons You know? Yeah. Yeah. But I have a
love -hate relationship with spring and fall
because they sandwich winter, which sucks. Yeah,
oh yeah. And being as close to the lake as we
are, we get humid ass summers. Terribly humid
summers. Oh yeah, for sure. So especially working
outside all day, the thing that makes summer
for me is air conditioning. Yeah, buddy. That's
what I live for in the summer. Oh yeah. But yeah,
I rarely... Of course, I do the dive bar bus
tour, and that's a lot of fun. But I rarely do
festivals and concerts as much anymore these
days, which is kind of a shame. But yeah, my
summer is really just marked by, okay, can I
survive these four or five months on the clock?
Exactly. So kind of tough, unfortunately. But
it's also the time of year where I can drive
around with my windows down and my new car. Whisper
quiet, fast as fuck, just like chilling, relaxing.
I love doing like, not that I do them as much
anymore with my boomer ass sleep schedule, but
just like an evening drive, the windows down,
gorgeous. Yeah, it's great. So I love it too.
And, you know, the other night, It was a beautiful
night. It was warm during the day, but as soon
as the sun went down it cooled off a little bit
and there was a nice breeze. And I literally
just grabbed a beer out of my fridge and I have
this nice little front porch. I have this old
farmhouse looking thing with kind of a nice front
porch in a neighborhood that's right next to
where downtown is. And I just kind of sat on
my front stoop and I just had my beer and was
just sitting there chilling. Sometimes I have
something to smoke, sometimes I don't. And I
was just kind of sitting there and I'm like...
Yep, I've been waiting for this. Yeah, this is
what's up. You know, I've definitely been waiting
for this. And like, Aidan, like, spring's good,
fall's great. Like, I'm a fall guy. Fall guy.
So I'm a fall guy too, but nothing beats that,
man. I mean, it's just being able to just sit
on your stoop. You're not sweating your ass off,
but like, you're not cold either. It's just perfect.
And just having a beer. And once in a while,
a neighbor comes by, man, what's up? Hey, how
you doing? You just shoot the shit. But it's
just chill. And that's some. Well, also summer
for me, I volunteer security for what we have
called the Porter County Fair. So they just add.
I swore. I was like, I don't think I'm going
to do it this year. And then I got the text.
I'm like, OK, fine. You got me. Twist my arm.
I'll be honest. I'll be honest. Florida is one
of the acts. And I'm like. Yeah, I kind of would
like to see that. Yeah. And get paid. So yeah,
I'm gonna do that for sure. But yeah, man, I
mean, summertime, it's here and I'm kind of looking
forward to it. It's exciting. Yeah, I'm kind
of excited by it. I'm planning on doing... Maybe
a couple road trips and, you know, concerts and
whatever. But it'll be fun. Yeah, damn right.
Should be good. And by all means, we always tell
you guys to hit up our socials. Mark Maloney,
Abe Maloney. You have the Mark Mo Show. We got
our own Facebook page and Insta and all that
kind of good stuff. Sometimes it's under Maloney
Media. It's just easier to put all of our shows
under. one umbrella so sometimes it's that so
you can find us on on insta and the old twitter
and facebook and things like that so uh by all
means find us shout at us hell yeah let us know
some of your favorite traditions or if you have
a beginning or an ending any of that kind of
good stuff but uh yeah so here's what i'm thinking
i'm thinking crack open a cold one And then we
come back and we do a little Carpe Diem. What's
your thoughts? You know what? I tend not to think.
Great. See you soon. All right. We are back here
on the Mark Mo Show. Your host, Mark Maloney,
along with Aidan Maloney. And not going to lie,
we took kind of an extended break here. You guys
won't know it because I edit those parts out.
But yeah, we were just like chatting. It actually
probably would have been pretty good content.
Chatting off mic for just shy of an hour. Yeah.
Like, oh man, where'd the time go? We only did
one segment. I'm going to blame Aidan. What did
I do? And his bottle of Jim Beam Red Stag. Okay,
come on now. Which I've always seen in the store,
but I've never had. I always liked Jim Beam.
I visited the distillery. It's very cool. So
he's like, hey, you know, try this. And so I
tried a shot of Red Stag. Oh fuck. Yeah, it's
kind of unbelievable. It's, um, it's a thing
because I'm like... Is it a thing for you now?
Oh, dude. You have no... Okay. I've opened your
world! You really have. And I've tried a lot
of alcohol. I'm not an alcoholic. I'm just a
fan. An aficionado. I'm a fan, especially of
whiskey. Whiskey's and bourbon's, man. Oh, dude.
I'm on board. So I haven't tried it. I was excited.
I'm like, yeah, cool. So I tried it. Now imagine
trying... Jamo or makers or anything like that
in a shot, right? It's great. It's beautiful.
It's a warm hug. Yes, but always has a little
bite at the end as it should. This does not.
Yeah, this is a tasty little jam. Oh, yeah, fuck.
I'm in trouble. I'm in trouble, dude, because
once we did that shot and it was a double shot,
mind you, ladies and gentlemen, I was a single
shot, but it was generous. It was a generous
thing. It was a double shot. That's why I'm not
a bartender. And that's a shame. I'd be losing
the company money, bro. That's probably true.
But you know what? You kind of eat a little bit
on those couple of shared shots that you do,
and people buy more shots. That's the key to
it. And the tips. And the tips. And the tips,
which I am very familiar with. So at any rate,
holy cow, man. This, it was great. It was good.
Oh, yeah. Keeping the deep freezer? Yes, man.
Oh dude. Yeah, we had it cold. It was amazing
and I have to say this I'm a big fan of cold
shots. I used to do Not a huge vodka guy, but
vodka is okay I actually prefer it and mixed
drinks and stuff but I used to do shots with
an old friend of mine and She was a bartender
and like vodka was her shit. So we used to do
shots of vodka But she would chill it. Yeah Makes
all the difference. Oh, yeah with vodka. Yeah
100 % And it's a good shot, but this oh, oh buddy.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, buddy mind you It's not the official
beer of you yet because we're not doing it, but
we we do it Typically have a beer too as we're
recording with you because we're hoping you're
doing the same I'm gonna be completely honest
right unless you're not 21 Then you just don't
tell anyone. But basically, yeah. Founder's Mortal
Bloom. I like it. It's what we're sipping on.
Yeah. I like it. Usually hazy IPAs are not, or
IPAs in general is not Mark Moe's forte, if you
will. Not at the top of the list, to be fair.
But yeah, we've got this sinister haze, Mortal
Bloom by Founder's brand. And I was like, okay,
so I was telling Mark Moe. As we were in the
kitchen, and I was introducing him to my good
friend Red Stag. Thank you for that, by the way.
No problemo. And I was like, listen, I've got
this one beer that we're going to try for the
beer review. But I picked these up also because
I wanted to sample them. But since we're here,
we may as well crack them open. So that's what
we're doing right now. Quite tasty. Oh, it's
so good. Quite tasty. It is so good. And you
know what else I find really tasty? Carpe Diems.
Ah, dude, nice segue. Segue! That was good. That
was good. It's like, how are we going to get
there? Oh, I've got it. I've got it. Aha! Yeah,
so Carpe Diems, you find wonderful, beautiful
people, send us your DMs, and we read them on
the air. And if they're in the form of a question,
will we throw them in the garbage? No, no. We
could throw them in the garbage. We could. We
have what some people call free will. Indeed
we do you know I don't even know who will is
and why is he free and why is he free? But good
on him up lock him up put will back in the closet
At any rate yeah, so you find beautiful people
send us this stuff. We read them on the air If
you're like have a question. I really really
really really really want you to answer that
There's a way you can get there sure. What is
the cost you're willing to pay to have your question
answered, right? So let's let's let's play this
exactly. Let me give you the Maloney Media Productions
PayPal address Exactly, and you can ask the question
right away exactly if you were in front of me
right now Hypothetically. Hypothetically. And
you said, Mark, please answer this question for
me. I'd say, well, I don't know. The logistics,
the red tape. Is that appropriate? That's it.
That's it, exactly. And then you may extend your
arm, and it might have a $10 bill in it. And
now you've caught my attention. Yeah, that's
a good start. But I'm like, oh, were you saying
something? Yeah. What is it that you? And then
let's say a couple Benjis. Yeah, right. Maybe
you add that extra zero. Our good friend Benjamin
Franklin comes into play. Now I'm like, oh, I'm
sorry. What was your question again? I'd be glad
to answer that. Exactly. Precisely. So now you're
getting it. Now the people are getting it. Message
sent. It's on you, lovely listener, to receive
it. That's right. So let's go. I had a lot this
week from some of our beautiful, wonderful listeners.
We appreciate each and every one of you. Like,
subscribe, smooch, all that good stuff. OK, the
first one I got was from at looter in a riot
69. Supmo Show totally psyched about this year's
Riot Fest. Haha, great timing. What bands are
you looking forward to seeing? Oh my god. Well,
for the 21st birthday of Riot Fest, they did
go all out. As most people do on their 21st birthday.
They went all out. 21 Pilots, incredible. Tool
just like the the the musicianship and the the
math and science behind what they do is fascinating
the drummer is fantastic incredible I I all time
low is excellent. I I'm just it's so exciting
It's so exciting and and then it seems like and
I've had a problem with like Ticketmaster and
live nation. Yeah Shitty like oh six hundred
dollars to get in the nosebleeds. It's like fuck
you like you're pricing people out of entertainment.
You're pricing people out of the art. Yes. But
you get things together from like Q101 or like
local festivals where you have good bands show
up. That's where it's at. You know, you're not
going broke seeing the bands you like, which
is something I'm a fan of. Oh, for sure. And
that's that's kind of it. It's like, look, are
you going to pay like 110 or 120 bucks for the
day? Yeah. You're going to see like 10 bands.
Right. Right. So figure like, do the math. You're
like doing 10 to 12 bucks a band. That's not
bad. Right. And if you were doing some dog shittery
with Ticketmaster watching 21 Pilots at the UC
or something, you're going to pay 500 bones for
the nosebleeds. Right. That's exactly what you're
going to do. So this is a steal, brother. It's
a steal. It's the way to go. It's like 300 and
some odd dollars for the entire weekend. And
you're going to see dozens of bands. 25, 30,
40 bands. It's absolutely worth it. Now, your
sister, Sarah, up in Minnesota. What up, Sarah?
God bless. She wants to see this band called
Bratmobile. Now, I have not heard of them. We're
about to. But I'm going to check them out for
sure. So I'm definitely interested in them. I'm
interested in this band called Haywire. I think
they're going to be really great. I'm interested.
Of course, I don't mean to mark out for the top
bands, but Tool, 21 Pilots, Pierce the Veil,
Alanis Morissette, Rise Against. All of it great.
Social Distortion, that takes me back. I will
definitely be checking them out. The Pixies and
Nas. Come on. Dude. Come on. The Pixies and Nas,
that's awesome. Alkaline Trio. I haven't listened
to a lot of Alkaline Trio, but I have so many
of my friends that are huge fans of theirs to
the point where I'm like, all right, I got to
check them out now. Bad Religion, another one
that gets on this bill all the time. All -American
Rejects, that's gonna be great. Iggy Pop, legend.
What a G. Legend. So like so many great bands.
Guar is there every year. So if you just want
to get some fake blood spat on you, I think last
year, they this guy came out in a Trump costume
and got cut in half. So I mean, if you're just
out for a good time, you know, that's the experience.
It's the experience. So you might you might want
to check that out. So that's just some of the
bands, I suppose. Oh, yeah. That we're interested
in at Gangrene NYC. Hey guys, been following
you. Gang green? Gang green NYC. Oh, not gang
green. Gang green. Gang. Gang. Gang. Green. Not
gang green. Not gang green. Okay. Hey guys, I've
been following you since the coach's corner days
on WVLP. What do you think about the Jets? I
think they have a shot at the playoffs this season.
Aw, gang. Aw, gang green. Aw, gang. Oh, gang
green. You get it now. NYC. Get it now? Okay.
Here's my take. It would be more appropriate
to call yourself gangrene. Really? With a take
that rancid. Holy hell. I appreciate your loyalty
to your brand. It's... I think the Jets are always
gonna suck. I think it's a no from me. I think
it's a no. I'll Simon Cowell. I'm gonna say it's
a no from me, don't I? I wish you the best. Like,
I feel... I don't. Sorry, I don't. As football
goes... You don't even play in New York! No,
you play in New Jersey. But to be fair, I think
the Bears are gonna play in Indiana. So there's
that. But no, I honestly... I feel bad. I feel
like the Jets in New York in football are kind
of like the White Sox are in baseball in Chicago.
I just feel like they're second -class citizens
in a way. Like everybody's more of a Giants or
a Bills fan. It's like, oh, and there's the Jets.
Yeah, they're also here. Also, you named yourself
after what hit the Twin Towers. That's a bet.
In the city where the Twin Towers fell. Kind
of not great. Poor taste. I love 9 -11 jokes,
but that's your whole identity. That's a problem.
Sorry, gangrene. Five wins. That's generous.
Who the fuck are they gonna be? Honestly, it's
gonna be like the legendary lion season where
they went oh and 16 That's that's my take. That's
they're gonna be the first team to lose 17 games
in a season Yeah, what fool man that would? That
would be here's wouldn't it be hilarious if they
went oh one in 16 Oh no. If they got one tie
and that was the highlight of their season. You
think so? That's my take. Hot take. Place your
bets now, boys. The Jets are going 0 -1 in 16.
Wow. Well, I mean, it could very well be. OK,
let's look. Preseason, preseason, preseason,
regular season. Jets and Titans start out. Jets
lose. To the Titans? I mean, the Titans aren't
as bad as the Jets. Okay, all right, 0 and 1.
Packers and Jets. Yeah, 0 and 2. Jets and Lions.
0 and 3. Jets and Bears. 0 and 4. Browns and
Jets. That's the tie. That's the tie! That's
another 0, 1, and 4. Or 0, 4, and 1. Yeah, yeah.
Jets and Patriots. Yeah, that's an L. So 05 and
1? Yep. Dolphins? 06 and 1. Raiders? 07 and 1.
Chiefs? 07 and 2. Another tie. Bills? Yeah, 08
and 2. Chargers? 09 and 2. Dolphins again? 09
and 3. Another tie. Yeah, I'm changing this as
we go. Broncos? Yeah, 010 and 3. Cardinals? Oh,
11 and 3. Okay, come on. We're loading. We're
having loading problems. All I'm gonna say is
they go oh 11 and 3. Okay, that's fair. In the
first 14 weeks. That's, I mean, yeah. Okay. Hot
take. Vegas never saw me coming. No, they really
didn't. Okay, let's see. At the bye, we got the
Broncos. We have the Cardinals. Patriots again.
Yeah, it's an L. Vikings. That's an L. Bills
again. That's an L. Dude. Yeah. It's not good.
Brutal. It's not good. Brutal. You hate to see
it. Gangrene, number one, thank you for listening
to the show. Number two. It's a rough year. It's
a rough year. It is definitely a rough year.
Gangrene indeed. Yep. At Big Screen Bubba, no
summer blockbusters. What's the deal? I remember
when every week there was some epic film to get
excited about. What's the deal? So this dude
actually said what's the deal twice. What's the
deal? Well, I would say that the amount of indie
films recently that are just baller. Yeah. I
mean, January 2026, we had Iron Lung, indie film,
fantastic. That was Markiplier, right? Yes. And
then this week, live, as we're speaking, indie
film, well, independent. It's from 824, I believe.
The Backrooms movie, that's out. I think indie
films, kind of like indie music is popping off,
indie and alt. I think we're in that era now
where we're post three phases of Marvel, we're
post the big Tom Cruise and whoever else type
movies. I think that's behind us for the most
part. I think indie films are the new meta, I
think is what's going on. So I would say there's
not big blockbusters because you, lovely listener,
uh, bubba. If you will yeah, I think you got
to change what you call a blockbuster Yeah, I
think you gotta open your mind to the indie scene.
I think so. There's actually a movie out right
now I almost went to see it last night and then
I mean in our area Tuesday nights are like the
half price nights So that's kind of like if i'm
gonna catch a film. I'll probably go on a Tuesday
Uh, there's a movie called pressure that is out
right now. And it's a Brendan Fraser who's like
one of my favorite human beings. He's such a
G. He's so fucking great. It is a movie where
he portrays Dwight D. Eisenhower and it's about
all the events leading up to the decision to
do the D -Day attack and Like that just looks
great like right now on Rotten Tomatoes the critics
give it an 86 the fans give it a 94 So it's looking
it's looking good Like I typically don't pay
attention the critics because they're bougie
as hell and like there's certain movies They
like or I should say there's certain genres.
They like in certain ones They don't but like
when the critics and the fans are kind of aligned
like that It's a good ass movie. It's a star
in the making. It's a good ass movie, so I'm
actually looking forward to it. I'm not doing
a review preview right now, but basically the
synopsis, an hour and 40 minute movie in the
tense 72 hours before D -Day and with the fate
of the free world hanging in the balance, pressure
follows Dwight D. Eisenhower and Captain James
Stagg as they face an impossible choice, launch
the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion
in history or risk losing the war altogether.
Damn. That's what's up. Right and there's a guy
actually this actor I think I think he was Moriarty
in the Sherlock Holmes TV show with Benedict
Cumberbatch, Andrew Scott. He portrays James
Stagg, Brendan Frazier is Dwight Dean Eisenhower,
Carrie Condon, Chris Messina, Damian Lewis like
it's a That's good people. Stellar cast. That's
good people. So review preview hasn't been review
preview since I brought it back. I think it was...
Review, review. It was just review the first
time, and then it was review, review. Yeah. And
now it's a just preview. Now it's just preview.
You're welcome. Which is slotted into Carpe Diem.
Which is slotted into... It's a hot mess, but
I don't care. So we're going to move on to the
next... one but yeah uh check that movie out
uh bubba but um yeah so you're right there's
not the blockbusters we're used to i think doomsday
is going to be killer i can't wait for that i
can't wait for downy to be back i think that's
going to be like a reboot of marvel that they
desperately need um okay the next one i have
is alana feels the beat hey maga can you bash
liberals all week long and go worship One on
a Sunday. What's the deal? Pick a lane. Hmm.
I think she's on to something. Huh. Makes me
scratch my chin. Hmm. Indeed. Quite. Quite. Indubitably,
they say. Alana, you're on it. You're on it.
She might be. They might be cooking. For sure.
They might be cooking with this one. Now, we
put our chef's hats on to cook. We do. We do.
Is it? Is it? too much to say if Jesus was among
us today. Yeah. That he'd probably be at an anti
-ice rally. I can see that. Yeah. I'm just guessing
he probably was. Because I'm pretty sure that
like tyranny and fascism was pretty, you know,
pretty anti - I don't think he'd be good with
it. Christian. Yeah. I don't think he'd be good
with it. Not much of a Bible banger myself, but
I know a thing or two. Because I've seen a thing
or two. I'm not but like hey Zeus like I feel
back in the day if I was around like I'd be like
hey, it's cool Yeah, blood would have some wine
with this dude would have just been chillin drinking
wine hanging out with like sex workers just like
We're all family here boy. Yeah, right I mean
the dude sits around drinking with the boys all
night long and his best friend is a hooker. So
it's kind of like All right. My man was spitting
before they knew bars. I think so. Yeah, I think
he was I think he was so Lana you're on it Interesante
Yep. Most definitely. Unfortunately, most people
that wear red hats don't necessarily have self
-awareness. No. Or comprehension skills. They're,
they're... The only man with a red hat that I
respect. Santa? Not, not even. Oh, oh. Fred Durst.
Fred, haha! Yep. Yep. Hell yeah. My main man,
Fred Durst. What a G. What a G. I love Limp Bizkit.
I kind of do too. Like I would have like if Limp
Bizkit was on this Riot Fest bill, I'd lose my
shit. Oh my god. This might be the greatest fucking
event ever. Give me something great. There is.
Yeah, there is. I want to tell the people out
there because this song has kind of flown under
the radar, which is a shame. It's a song by an
artist called Lauren Sanderson. OK, features
Fred Durst. Oh, this song just came out 2026.
It's called Come Say Some. Oh, shit. Incredible.
Okay. Incredible. Go look up the song. Go stream
it. It's great. Okay. Fred Durst is fucking back,
boys. Oh, good. I'm glad. I'm glad. I always
loved his edge. Anyway, on to at OMS Brit. Why
do people go to a concert and talk the whole
fucking time? Go to a bar, some of this came
for the show. Yeah, like I was saying - That's
legit. in our first segment, I've kind of become
detached from festivals and concerts. So I wouldn't
know the problem, but I know that that does happen
in movie theaters as well. where people are just
yapping or they're scrolling on their phones.
I'm like, brother, we came here to see a fucking
show. What are we doing? Right. What are we doing?
Yeah. The social etiquette is broken sometimes.
Oh, for sure. For sure. And I get it. Like, literally,
I went to see a movie. One day we had some storms
come through and it knocked our business off
line and so we weren't going in but like I was
trying to keep up with like on what was going
on because if it was like if it came back on
it like one I probably would have gone in for
three or four hours but like I'm keeping on keeping
on keeping on it's like 145 and earlier I'm like
It is a Tuesday. I think I'm gonna catch a movie
so I go to the movies. But now like I've got
my phone on my belly and I'm like like every
ten minutes I'm like looking looking all of a
sudden it's like power is back on I'm like oh
fuck I'm sitting in the movie theater I do not
want to leave. I'm like hey oh cool do you need
me right now? I mean and at that point it's like
almost two o 'clock and it's like no. I'm like,
what are we going to do? And actually, it was
almost 3 o 'clock, as a matter of fact. Oh, what's
that hour and a half going to serve? It's not
going to serve anyone. So it was, you know, I
felt OK to be like, they're like, no, you know,
no one else is here, and this and that, and whatever.
Great. I am staying right where I know. But that's
like the only time I'm ever on my phone. It's
just like if there's some shit going on, I'll
keep it there. If I hear it buzz, I'll take a
quick peek at it. But yeah, man, I agree. It's
just like if you're going to the movies, if you're
going to show, enjoy the show. Here's the thing
that gets me. It's not so much people that like
chit chat, which can be annoying if like you're
next to them and you're like, do drop kicks on,
shut up, sing the song or just shut up. Here's
the thing that gets me. are all the people that
are recording it on their phones. I'm like, dude,
you're seeing it live. Right. Just enjoy it.
Don't sit there the whole time and then go back
home and be like, oh, see this? I'm like, yeah,
you looked at it through your phone. Right, right.
Just watch the show. It'll live on better in
memory than through a recording with a shitty
microphone. Right. Look, you want to take, because
it does 100 % like you sit there and like, like
during a show, I'll grab maybe one or two screen
images just because I want to be like, oh, yo,
what up? I'm here. And that's it. Like, I'm good.
But like, if you hear the band in the background,
it sounds like shit because it's coming through
your phone. Right. They sound infinitely better
live. Yeah. So it's like, why are you recording
all these songs? Because what do I do? Like,
if I record a song and it's just the song and
I really don't do anything with it, it's deleted
off my phone in a couple of weeks. So it's like,
what's the fucking point? At Miss Betty Bett,
love from Seattle. Your show about multi -generational
friendships was great. Mark, I love that you
say exactly what's on your mind and back that
shit up. You don't give. You don't give a fuck.
I love that. I'm sure we'd be friends IRL. I'm
26 and my BFF is a coworker 18 years older than
me. We've been friends for a couple of years
now and he's my favorite human. Well. How fucking
great is that? Yeah. And that was the point.
Like I... I'll leave my friend's name out of
this but I sat down with him a few days ago sipping
some coffee and stuff like that and he said the
same thing he's like man yeah I heard that blah
blah blah and he was just like hey dude he's
like I'm the same way he's like I got a lot of
friends that are younger than me and so on and
so forth he's like but I love it and I love that
we're different I said but it works you know
it just fucking works and we don't Like that
isn't a focus. Age isn't a thing. It's like you
match up with a human being and you have certain
things in common or maybe you don't but then
like certain things that they like then you start
listening to or you start getting interested
in and vice versa. That's what it's all about
man. And that's like, that was the whole point
of it. So the human experience, the human experience
and we're we're beyond. I mean, if you're just
like, you have to be friends with people at your
own age. Well, you know what? There's a decade
calling for you to 1950. Go the fuck back. I'm
sorry. Once again, you're going to get my my
uncensored version of that is like grow the fuck
up. People are. And if you're just like, oh,
my God, what do I have in common with someone
who's 20 years younger than me? I don't know.
Why don't you break out of your fucking bubble
and see if you do right. because it's just like
generational differences are okay. They're totally
fine. And some of what Aidan and I do here have
bridged that gap for me. And it's like a lot
of stuff that Gen Z or Millennials that are interested
in are things that I'm interested in. So I'm
like, okay, so why wouldn't I be friends with
these people that we're all fucking adults if
we have similar interests or it's like something
like, oh, I've always been interested in that
band or, oh, tell me more about your point of
view on this or that. I love that. And that's
what fucking life should be about. Right. Oh,
I agree. No notes. 100 % agree. No notes. 100%.
I love that. So Ms. Bettybett, thank you for
that. And Seattle. I mean, we... God bless you.
I have a daughter. He has a sister that is from
Seattle. And Seattle holds a special place for
us. I don't know if it's my second favorite city
in this country, but it's up there. Oh, yeah.
It's certainly up there. Oh, yeah. And having
experienced Minneapolis, I've kind of got a top
three now. with Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle.
You like it? Just beautiful cities. Yeah. Absolutely
gorgeous. Yeah, I'm... Hoping to get to see your
sister in Minneapolis this summer sometime Even
if it's just for a long weekend or even if it's
just for a day who cares Yeah, by the way that
Hell's Kitchen in Minneapolis the original Hell's
Kitchen before Gordon Ramsay took the name I
believe out in Vegas the original Hell's Kitchen
in Minneapolis. Holy shit Yeah, so good. Yeah,
I've been to the one in Vegas and it's the beef
Wellington I can't say enough. Yeah. Yeah. I
can't say enough. It's ball art. But anyway,
before we get off, I've got one left. Had a lot
today. At Stoner Stanley 420. My man. It is the
Momo and Alan show. Yippee -doo. I am so happy.
I am in the river. It's wet. I caught the squirrel
on Tuesday. Whoa. I'm teaching him to swim. I
think he's sleeping. Bye. Oh my god. I think
he killed a squirrel. No, he's sleeping, clearly.
He's sleeping. He's sleeping, clearly. It's the
information I was given, at least. Alright. Oh
my gosh. Well, to think his mortal enemy, this
squirrel. It's a long -running story with old
Stan. Oh my god. But to think he got him. And
instead of being hateful or resentful, he's teaching
the young lad how to swim. He is. And that's
the character of a good human being. I think
so. Now I'm going to propose a question to Stanley.
Oh, listen up, Stan. This is definitely going
to stun -lock him. He's going to be fucked up
with this. Oh, no. Is water wet or does water
just make things wet? Stan? Oh, wow. You might
need another puff to think about that one, buddy.
Dude, you're gonna break... You gotta take it
easy on Stan. No. That's gonna break his brain.
That's what I'm hoping for. Oh, that's what you're
hoping for. It's not gonna break his brain. It's
gonna be a breakthrough. It's gonna be a breakthrough.
A breakthrough. Stan, before answering that question,
get a stronger strain. And then give it a shot.
Yeah. Then give it a shot. Alright, that's all
I got. What do you got? I got a DM here from
One Kangaroo Tops. What is the dude equivalent
of quote taking the bra off for relaxation? The
dude equivalent. Yeah my first thought because
I have to wear steel toes. Yeah for my job Taking
those off taking the shoes off take it off the
heavy -ass work uniform. Yeah, cuz it's all like
Dickies and Cintas brand and it's just this real
durable fabric, but is Terrible in the summertime
taking that off those boots off. Oh my god. It's
freedom Yeah, that's a that's a good call. The
shoes off is a good thing. I'll go a step further
I'm talking about taking everything off in a
quick shower after a long day. It's it's a reset
It's it's a complete reset and that goes in but
it doesn't matter what's in between your legs
I think the quick shower. I think quick showers.
It's a reset for anyone. Oh my god Yeah, it's
a reset for anyone like I'll do that some days
like if I've just had a day. I'll come home Bam,
pop right in the shower. And then I'll be honest,
like lately, after a long day, I do that. And
then I pop in bed for like a 30 to 45 minute
nap. It is killer. Power nap. Oh my God, I did
that yesterday. And I woke up and I'm like, I'm
hungry. I'm ready to eat. Yeah, let's freaking
go chat. Oh yeah. Complete reset for sure. That
is interesting though, because... I don't find
any piece of, steel toe boots aside, but that
doesn't matter what gender or sex you are. Anyone
can wear steel toe boots for work. But I don't
find any piece of clothing as restrictive as
I've heard bras feel. Like boxer briefs, that's
pretty natural feeling to wear. Shorts, t -shirts,
what I'm wearing today, like... Don't know I
feel like I will never have the experience of
knowing what it's like Quite necessarily of the
feeling of taking the bra off. Yeah, you know
yeah, that's not something I get yeah No, I don't
either cuz like if you're talking like boxers.
It's like meh I mean, it's like it's not as big
of a deal like if you were jeans all day I could
imagine maybe oh yeah being like a thing. That's
why I've stopped wearing jeans I don't like how
jeans feel on me. That's fair. Yeah Yeah, that's
totally fair. I got a question here from Krippigrew
checking in again. Kripp. What company will you
never give money to again? Ooh. Man, that's a
tough one. Comcast, Walmart. Yeah, pretty much
those two, first and foremost. Comcast and Walmart.
Fuck the two of them. I know Comcast owns NBC
now. Yeah. They own Xfinity and... It's a thing.
It's a whole thing. Like if you draw the lines,
like the quote -unquote family tree, so to speak,
of the corporate version of that, you can connect
almost anything. Oh, yeah. You can connect almost
anything. They own so fucking much. Yeah. I can't
disagree with that. Yeah, you know, I kind of
feel that way. And then like, I need something
on the quick and I pop in. So it's like, I try
not to spend money there. But there's times where
I pop in because I like number one, I know they're
open. Number two, I know they'll have what I
need. Yeah. So I just pop in there real quick.
But I try not to. Yeah, I don't think I've shopped
at Walmart in years. Yeah, I try not to go to
Chick -fil -A if at all possible. I agree with
that. Yeah, like look, I think the chicken sandwiches
are good. I think they're a little bit overrated.
I love the freaking waffle fries though. That's
the thing they get like I don't even need the
chicken. Like I just need the waffle fries. Yeah,
like that part always gets me. But yeah, I try
not to go to Chick -fil -A too often. Yeah, I'd
agree with that. Oh, oh. Fucking Burger King.
I was waiting for that. There we go. Fuck Burger
King. Oh no. You call yourself the Burger King.
Your burgers are the most dog shit foul. I wouldn't
feed it to my dog. It's that bad No, I wouldn't
feed it to my dog. It's that bad. It's it's it's
not human version of AI slop that we just ingest
Yeah, it tastes like shit. They pump it full
of chemicals to make it taste charbroiled grill
grill cooked Yeah, instead of actually fucking
making a good burger. You could just commit to
making a good burger, but you don't that's true,
but you don't mm -hmm And also the shit they
tried to pull in Australia with an existing brand
in Australia called Burger King. Burger King
shows up there. They're like, oh, we're taking
the name. Australia looked at them and said,
no, you're not. I think they go by Hungry Jacks
down there. Oh, no shit. I believe that's right.
Burger King is Hungry Jacks. There is in Illinois,
and I don't know if it's Charleston or near Charleston,
there is a restaurant called Burger King. The
actual corporate Burger King cannot open a chain
restaurant within like a 10 square mile of that
good restaurant. Fuck Burger King. So there's
a mom and pop called Burger King and the chain
cannot open anywhere near them. Good. Good. Fuck
Burger King. Yeah. Wow. Disgusting food. Foul
practices. Quote of the day. Underpaid employees.
Yeah. Yeah. Foul. Anywho. Anyway. Last DM I received
for the day. From Brungus Bungus, what's the
scariest thing you ever saw? Ooh, okay. For me,
I was in grade school. I can't remember how old
I was. I was old enough to remember this, seventh,
eighth grade maybe. And I was on the block doing
something, probably seeing a friend or whatever,
or just coming back from baseball, some shit.
But I'm walking home. And there's two men running
down the street. One man is ahead of the other
one by 30 feet, 35 feet, and they have guns.
Holy shit. And they are aimed at one another.
And so one guy shot, missed wildly, and the other
guy's gun was empty. And they're running down
the street. Now, with both guns empty, click,
click, click, click, click. Yeah. So I'm like,
shit. I run up the driveway of my parents' house.
There is a fence that they had going into their
backyard, which was three and a half, four feet
off the ground. Yeah. I hurdled that shit. Caught
my shoelace. Oh no. I cleared that fucker. Caught
my shoelace on one of the spokes. Flipped upside
down, and now I'm upside down on the inside part
of the fence. Sitting there going holy shit these
dudes are trying to kill each other and now I'm
upside down on a fence Oh my god, I'm like pulling
my shoe and I'm yelling and whatever and so finally
I just pull my foot out of the shoe grab my shoe
of course my parents are like Why are you making
all the noise? Like, I just am causing problems
because I just wanted to hurdle the fence and
get caught upside down. You know, now these guys
are shooting at each other. So there used to
be a bar on Western Avenue called Wright's Tap
and then a cop bought it and called it Wrong's
Tap. You can't make this shit up. It's so Chicago.
Anyway, apparently two cops got drunk and they
were mad at each other and decided to start shitting
at one another. Oh my god. Yep. there you go
swine but i was i was terrified i was like i'm
gonna get i'm gonna get shot over there beef
that's nuts yeah that's why i don't think i've
had an experience like that um but i did have
i i'm not necessarily what you would call a believer
in in ghosts and spirits but i have seen some
shit that makes me question sure where our First
house here out in South Haven our family home.
Yeah, we got we moved out here when I was like
four or five years old from Chicago and I do
been 12 maybe 13 It was I was old enough that
we had the family computer and what was the dining
room? Yeah, right. So I had to have been 12 13
14 something like that And I was up late, later
than most everyone else in the house. And across
the living room, you could see the hallway that
leads to the bedrooms and the restroom down there.
And the hallway light was on, and we only had
like a table light in the living room on, so
it was kind of dim. But in the hallway, clear
as fucking day, I saw a, I don't know, maybe
5 '10", looking teenage guy with like medium
length hair. walk into my sister's bedroom. And
I was like, what the fuck? Like I was looking
that way and I saw it happen. I was like, what
the hell? So I take like my headphones off and
I walk over there. Mind you, I'm the only guy
in the house. Well, you were sleeping. I think
mom was sleeping. And besides that, it was just
the three sisters. So I'm the only awake dude.
I'm like, okay, where did that dude just go that
I just saw? Turns out there was never a dude.
All the sisters were sleeping. in the hallway.
There's no one in my room, which was next door
to their room. No one in the bathroom. I'm like,
what the fuck did I just see? But it was so clear.
Oh yeah. That I'm like, I'm befuddled at that
point. I'm like, I don't think this house is
haunted, but I'm pretty sure, like, I don't,
like, I don't know. I don't know what I saw.
Right. But it was, it was alarming. Like, the
hairs on my arms are sticking up. Oh yeah. I'm
like, oh my god. Oh yeah. Yeah, that's well,
I'm glad you mentioned that because I you know,
there's quickly I'll just tell two one. I was
God Once again price seventh eighth grade, maybe
a freshman in high school and I'm in bed Living
to my parents house and I might my father used
to Practice the dark arts a little bit. Oh sure,
you know hypnotist psychic all that kind of stuff
but my mom was super Catholic so she doubled
down had like crucifixes in every room. Yeah.
Yeah, you're gonna screw with this. I'm gonna
make sure Jesus is around Always watching always
watching and so one night I'm in bed and these
three dark figures are standing over my bed Clear
as fucking day. I'm wide awake. I know I'm not
sleeping I can't move cannot move a leg cannot
move an arm. I cannot get up out of bed and I'm
just sitting there And like I felt like these
things wanted to do harm to me, but I couldn't
move. My heart is beating out of my chest. I'm
like, I don't know what to do. So I literally
just closed my eyes super tight and I said, I
figure I'm tired. If I just keep my eyes closed,
I will fall back asleep. Right. Maybe I'll be
okay then. And I still felt like for a while
I could not move. And then for whatever reason,
I woke up in the morning and I was fine. So like
that one was terrifying. Right, right. Absolutely
terrifying. Another one, we're in this house
we used to own in Bolingbrook, Illinois. And
it was late, bit of a night all, kind of almost
always. And so it was like almost two in the
morning, and I was up, I'm putzing around downstairs.
All the kids are asleep, Chris is asleep, and
I'm in the kitchen. I have a glass of water on
the kitchen table. It used to be this long kind
of, kind of like blonde, woodish type. table
in the kitchen and I had a glass of water on
one end of it and it literally I watched it I
literally watched it move from one end of the
table to the other end of the table and Goosebumps
popping. Yeah, and I grabbed it because I'm like
it's going to slide off the table So I grabbed
it and soon as I grabbed it and picked it up.
I heard the voice Oh man. Kid, you not. I will
swear on anybody's grave on this. I grabbed it.
I literally tossed it into the sink where the
glass wouldn't break, but like didn't set it
in there. I ran up those stairs so fucking fast
and got into bed. I was shaking, cold sweat,
shaking the whole thing. And your mother woke
up just a millisecond enough to be like, you
okay? I'm like, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.
I literally like had the covers over my head.
I'm freaking the fuck out. So yeah, that was
enough for me. Damn. That was... So as Aiden
said, do I have proof of anything? I do not.
Do I think there's some other shit going on that
we just can't see or observe? Whatever. Yes,
I do. 100 % because I've experienced it personally.
Yeah. Wild shit. Wild shit, for sure. Wild. Before
we take a break, we got a couple of things. Aiden
does this thing called Other Foods. Oh, that
was your last one, by the way, yeah? Yes, that's
correct. Please send us your DMs. Send them to
us. We will read them. Maybe answer them. Maybe.
Maybe. But Aidan does this thing called the other
food. So he scours the globe. Spends minutes
doing this. And he finds some really nasty shit
that people eat. Yeah. That I do. I'm wondering
what you found this week. Well, I found one crazy
man's concoctions. Oh. Out of Ohio, USA. Oh.
Okay, well, yeah. And I've brought this individual
up on while you were sleeping before. Oh, okay.
Their name is Uwo's Lab. Mm -hmm. This crazy
Ohio guy that just does shit for the love of
the game. So he's got expertise in electronics
and science and things like that. Gotcha. So
he just builds shit in his basement. And he had
this crazy idea recently. He posted a video on
his YouTube channel. Okay. Titled... carbonating
the craziest things in a soda maker. Oh. So I
have a small list, of course there's more, he
did more than what I'm about to mention, but
I just picked up the highlights of things he
carbonated in his soda maker and sampled on a
live stream. I like this. Carbonated ranch dressing.
Ah, why? Yeah. Yeah. carbonated warm tomato soup.
Ooh. Yeah, that's tough. That's tough. He carbonated
sweet corn. You know, you get those cans of sweet
corn and they've got the liquid in there. Yeah.
He carbonated that. Oh, dude. I let it then know.
Yeah. Carbonated sweet corn. He did carbonated
sour cream. And like some of these substances,
right, are too thick to hold carbonation, because
carbonation needs to be liquid, right? So these
thicker substances, like sour cream, he would
add water to. Watered down sour cream carbonated,
because that's the only way it would hold the
carbonation. Oh, God. He did Alfredo sauce. Chunky
clam chowder. What? Carbonated chunky clam chowder.
carbonated crushed pineapple which mind you that
one's got its merits yeah because pineapple is
already a sweet kind of juice um and lastly certainly
not least he carbonated nacho cheese sauce okay
in this ohio basement a madman did all of that
that's uh oh god that's mad scientist shit right
there Oh yeah, he's kind of the embodiment of
a mad scientist, the crazy shit on that YouTube
channel. Yikes. I can't recommend that enough,
but I watched that video and I'm like, this has
got to be the other foods, because it just fits.
Ain't no way you carbonate clam chowder and I
can't talk about it. So that's what's up. That's
what's up. If anyone's curious out there and
you've got a little soda stream or something
like that, go ahead. Go for it. Go ahead. I'm
not going to stop you. Yeah. You might void your
warranty on it, but you might. Yeah, it's possible.
It's a thought. It's not advice, but it's a thought.
I'm really interested in that carbonated sweet
corn. Carbonated Alfredo sauce. Oh, no, no. You
imagine slurping down some fettuccine Alfredo
and you get a little carbonation in there. And
you get that little, yeah, no, I'm really, I'm
good with that. Before we hit that break, frozen
review. I'm back on that. Lean cuisine, ricotta
cheese and spinach ravioli. I've done the regular
ravioli before. This was very similar. I don't
know why it says ricotta. It's always ricotta.
So I don't know why they chose to specify that
in this. So really they just added the spinach,
which wasn't much of an add or subtraction. It
just kind of was there. The sauce was still the
sauce. The raviolis are still raviolis. The grade
very similar in that It was good. The form factor
hadn't changed. The form factor hadn't changed.
The fact that it probably was just a smidge too
small to be considered a meal. If you had two
of them, you'd probably be good. Price -wise,
still that $33 .78. Okay. Kind of ballpark. Just
below $4. Just below $4. So that's kind of what
it is. Overall taste, not bad. Consistency, not
bad. Not enough of the raviolis. But I didn't
notice much of a difference in this particular
ravioli than the regular one. So I'm pretty sure
the other one was about this grade and I just
stuck with it. 7 -8. That's fair. 7 -8. So like
I said, it's not bad. You might have to do two
of them if you're gonna make a meal. Shucks!
Yeah. You'd think the addition of a vegetable,
known for its flavor, whether you like it or
not, known for its flavor, would change the dish.
And that's unfortunate. It really didn't. It
hadn't. It really, yeah. And that's unfortunate
because I do, I'm not a huge spinach fan, but
I do enjoy it in Italian meals. Yeah. Like on
a pizza, it's good. I've had it in like a chicken
Alfredo dish before, so it's good. Ravioli. It
just wasn't much of a difference. Not enough
to boost the grade or reduce it. Yeah. It's a
shame. So seven, eight. It's not bad. You might
need two for a meal. That's about it. So what
we're going to do, we're going to take a quick
break. We've got our main segment coming up.
We've done this before. I believe we did maybe
on the radio side have done this. Yeah, years
ago. But there's been new movies and other things
going on. So we're going to do our top 10 Marvel
movies when we get back. Yo, yo, we are back
gonna take one less break this particular show
We ran on a little bit had a lot of DMS and and
we were yapping like we're yapping We're yapping,
but that's why you listen and we love you for
it. Thank you We're the yap masters mark Maloney
aid Maloney. It's mark mo show and Are you just
made the list for this week? Which is our top
ten list ten through two our big number one reveal
on various topics this week top ten Marvel movies
and I've consulted our rule book and let's see
page 10 Subsection B. No rules. No rules. Thank
God. No rules. Yeah, I was a little worried about
that one No, no rules at all. So here we go top
10 Marvel movies and once you kick us off on
this one Alright, I'll start with my number 10
go through number two save my big number one
reveal for the end Number 10 Captain America
the first Avenger As far as story starts for
individual characters, I thought it was fantastic.
It's great. Iconic type movie. Number nine, The
Avengers. Yep. The first one that came out. The
real colliding of worlds with all these heroes
and villains and man, what a show. We saw that
in theaters. It was so hype. Number eight, Avengers
Infinity War. I thought it was fantastic. It's
great. Absolutely fantastic. And I believe that
occurred in phase three, if I'm remembering right.
Yeah. And it started to marry a lot of these
other movies and started bringing all of that
together. All the storylines, yeah. It was kind
of like the penultimate climax of these three
phases. Number seven, which everything is S tier
with this. Number seven is so good. Thor Ragnarok.
Yep. What an amazing movie. So good. Immigrant
song. They cracked out the immigrant song. Get
real, boys. When you're talking about epic scenes,
battle scenes, and we know the Avengers movies
have those. For the standalone movies, one of
the best. Oh, easily. The song sets it up. Great
battle scene. Seeing Thor and Loki fight. together
yeah great yes love that movie number six captain
america civil war another one of these hero heavy
type movies but in a different sense yeah in
a different way right where they they you know
you're seeing these avengers a group of people
but then there's just differing views of how
they should Manage their affairs or police the
world and just kind of like these two parties
that have differing views right and how heroes
themselves being these otherworldly strong beings
Should or shouldn't police? Humans yes, and protecting
earth and yeah, they're overarching Body of government
should be yeah very good number five guardians
of the galaxy Great. So great. The soundtrack,
unreal. The acting was fantastic and I love the
characters. Number four, Captain America Winter
Soldier. Yeah. What a great movie. Yep. What
a damn great movie. There's not enough I can
say about it. Number three, Doctor Strange. I
love the Doctor Strange movies. I think they're
fantastic. And then, like, the character development
of Stephen Strange is incredible. What's huge,
and you, you know, you see his arc and how he
develops through learned behavior largely. Right.
And becoming kind of this master sorcerer. It's
it's really it's amazing. Right and You you have
no idea how important he will become. Oh, yeah
Yeah, and it's such a stark contrast to from
say Captain America the first Avenger where Steve
Rogers was heroic even before he got his powers
He was just a scrawny kid. Oh sure at the time.
Whereas Stephen Strange He's kind of this Chodester
surgeon. It's kind of a dick. Yeah, he's like
half unlikable And then he learns character growth,
so important for a good movie. And number two,
which I was debating at putting at number one,
but number two, Spider -Man No Way Home. That's
awesome. Incredible movie. Tobey Maguire, my
king. Yeah. Oh, yeah. What a G. Great film. Here's
what's funny. So. Aiden and I and his sister
Sarah were kind of the comic -con geeks whatever
and Marvel's our shit not that we we don't we
love Batman and Christian Bale's working on it
yeah all of that like we're on board with that
Not huge DC fans, though. Because ever since,
in my opinion, ever since the Dark Knight trilogy,
DC didn't pop off the same. Nah, they just kind
of shit the bed. Never popped off the same. Our
mothers are both named Martha. I'm like, what
are you doing? What are we doing here, guys?
Oh, I'm angry. The newest Superman movie, I will
say. Very good. Better. It seems like they're
kind of going the right direction now. At any
rate, oh, and Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern.
Four stars. My man. Four stars. That dude's awesome.
Oh, yeah. Oh, it's so good. So anyway, Aiden
and I, based on what he just read to us on his
top nine. We only disagreed on one really Only
on one I didn't put dr. Strange. I thought a
lot about dr. Strange because I love the character.
Yeah. Yeah I probably if I had an honorable mention
I put him on there. I do love that character.
I love the movies the one Most recent one that
they did was Sam Raimi directing and they put
Bruce Campbell as a cameo Sam Raimi just like
he did in his spider -man movies It's so awesome
good like that's a good movie, too But here we
go. Ten Guardians of the Galaxy. Nine, The Avengers.
Eight, Captain America, The First Avenger. Seven,
I think this is where we differed, Iron Man.
Oh, yeah. Six. That kicked everything off. Yes.
Yeah. Six, Captain America, Civil War. Five,
Spider -Man, No Way Home. Number four, Avengers
Infinity War. Number three, Thor Ragnarok. Thor
Ragnarok's so good. And number two. Avengers
Endgame. Ooh. Number two. Interesante considering
my number one would be Avengers Endgame. The
culmination of 23 movies or whatever. 27 or whatever
it was. Like it's never been done before. 27
odd movies. Never been done. All these different
storylines with all their strands and it's just
incredible. Yeah. It's incredible and that The
reason I didn't put infinity or higher which
it definitely could have been like it was on
on your list Yeah, is because the the climax
of? All of these stories coming together happened
in Endgame, where Infinity War was the... It
was the pass. It was the pass to Oldboy that
hit the three -pointer, you know? Yes. So I put
the three -pointer on there, but you can't get
there without Infinity War, of course. You really
can, and when you first watch it, because you
don't know what you don't know. So when they
got to Infinity War, and all these people disappear,
your thought is... They're gone. Chet, we're
cooked. They're gone. Yeah. And you're left with
the OG Avengers. no surprise but you're left
with the og avengers so two things are like okay
plus ant man plus ant man you're left with all
these og avengers and you're just thinking okay
all these people are gone gone and it's down
to the og avengers to make shit right but you're
with the understanding like all these other people
are probably gone they're done yeah like you
have no idea what's gonna happen uh but it's
so so good I love it. I guess I'll get to my
number one, which is one that Aiden already mentioned,
Captain America The Winter Soldier. So good.
I just feel like even if that was a standalone
movie coming off like Captain America The First
Avenger, I just feel that as a movie, period,
like not even part of like this massive chain
of movies. I feel as like a political thriller,
like the whole thing. You got Robert frickin
Redford in the movie. You got Sam Jackson. You
I just think like alone. It's a four star movie.
Oh, yeah. Just fantastic. And then, God, what's
his name? Grillo is his last name. He plays he
plays kind of like the the main I don't want
to call him Hydra because we didn't know he was
Hydra then. Right. But he's kind of the main
shield guy, right? And like he's like a bad dude.
And that scene in the elevator in that movie.
Oh, yeah. So good. When Captain America is like,
he's sitting there and he's going down and he's
like. Nah, shit's about to go sideways. And he
says, do any of you want to get out? I'm like,
oh shit, Cap is about to bust some ass. And it
was so good. Awesome. It was so great. He kicks
everyone's ass and literally jumps out the window.
See you later. Because he has no other option.
Like that happened. I'm like, this movie is great.
When Sam Jackson is being assassinated. And he's
in Cap's apartment and he's like literally writes
on that thing like, trust no one. I'm like, oh
my god. You know, and the fact he has no idea
that Bucky is the winner. He has no clue. Oh
yeah. But Bucky has no idea Bucky's Bucky. He
doesn't know. He's a Winter Soldier. He's an
assassin for hire. Brainwashed. Completely brainwashed.
But that moment when his mask comes off and...
Steve Rogers looks at him Steve Rogers. I guarantee
you was about to take a shit on the street. Like
what? Yeah, but like and then conversely Bucky's
looking at him like who are you? Are you bitch?
Like it's just why are you looking like that?
Oh so good and then to counter that to bridge
that is the black widow Which is amazing because
those two actors in real life are like BFFs,
like Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans. They've
been friends since they were like kids. So they
go way back. They go way back. So to see them
on screen together, like in that movie where
they share a lot of screen time together. So
cool. It's just like you see that and it's genuine.
It's just like. Oh my god, he's like, get your
feet off the dash. I'm sure he said that to her
before. That's awesome. I love that. So that
movie is spectacular. I love it. Yeah, absolutely.
It's so shameful that we had to list them like
this, because I would have tied Ragnarok and
Civil War and Guardians and Winter Soldier and
No Way Home and Endgame. All great. You could
have tied them all at number one, but it's so
tough. Even though there are no rules, there
is social etiquette to be had. There is. And
I don't mean to exclude Anthony Mackie, who gets
introduced in The Winter Soldier. On your left.
On your left. And then that comes back in Endgame.
Oh, yeah. These guys are a master. They're an
absolute master at what they do. I can't wait
for Doomsday, primarily, which is why I did this
list this week. I think Doomsday is going to
be awesome. It's Robert Downey Jr., how they're
going to connect his current character and what
he did as Iron Man. Think is gonna blow minds.
Oh, yeah, I think it's gonna blow everyone's
mind and the fact that Marvel is gonna Re -release
endgame a couple weeks before so smart doomsday
and then add an extra special End credit and
credit. Yeah, that's gonna link this shit So
brilliant absolutely Brian. There's nothing like
watching endgame on like IMAX. Oh my god There's
nothing like when they re -release some there.
Oh, yeah I should say we're there. Yeah, because
I've watched these movies I know I did I did
spider -man no way home with Aidan It was you
me I think Jordan was Jordan was there yeah Jordan
was there and then our former podcast host was
with us was with us Yeah, because we're all big
spider -man guys so when we saw this and as much
as he's a Toby guy so my because that was like
Other than when i was a kid and it was rerun
then it wasn't it wasn't like a current cartoon
but like the only late sixties early seventies
spider -man cartoon was my intro yeah but it
was great like i don't know who voice that spider
-man but. it was perfect yeah and like that was
my intro to spider -man i'm like oh this is great
i love it he's so fucking smarmy but at the same
time he's kind of innocent stupid he's a kid
so like i love that part of it and so Like it
didn't resonate with me then later until Sam
Raimi grabbed it and it's like, yep I'm gonna
do three movies of Toby and they were all awesome.
Yeah, and like Lee McGuire Oh my god that literally
pulled me back into the comic genre because like
as a kid, I only remember that I remember Superman
with Christopher Reeves, which was amazing for
that particular time and then Michael Keaton
For Batman. Yeah, that's all I remember There
was one attempted like a Marvel thing and it
was like a shit show. It was terrible. So like
DC was all I knew back then and spider -man that
was it So when Raimi grabbed spider -man and
did this with Toby right like that reinvigorated
me like oh, yes This is like this dude read the
comics. That was a clearly read the comics So
I'm psyched. I love that the actor from Whiplash
is J. Jonah Jameson. Yeah. JK Simmons. JK Simmons.
Perfect casting for that. He's so good. Yep.
There was actually something the other night,
like he was at a Mets game or something. I saw
that and Spider -Man was behind him. Yes. And
he just had this look at his face, like he rolled
his eyes. I'm like, oh my God, I love that. Oh,
so great. But yeah, man, I mean, it's like...
You can tell, obviously, we geek out over this
shit, but if you're a Marvel fan, this is gonna
be... We talked earlier, right, with the DM about
epics. Doomsday is gonna... I think Doomsday
might be the lone epic coming out this summer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm more than excited. It blows
my mind, too, and we talked about this maybe
a handful of seasons ago of how, when Disney
acquired... Marvel, that things just felt disjointed.
Like they were trying to profit Max like Disney
usually does. They were doing more streaming
shit where you've got to buy their service to
stay up on the story and that's problematic.
Because they were doing shows on there and they
weren't standalone. They were tied in. They were
tied in and now it's like oh fuck I gotta watch
this entire series to understand what's going
on with Scarlet Witch and to understand what's
going on with Loki. Like people that don't watch
that? That is gonna watch doomsday where Loki
is a key character at the beginning Yeah, they're
not gonna know what the fuck's going on and and
we always saw that as problematic now mind you
I thought the Loki series I thought the other
great I thought one division was fantastic one
of my favorite Captain America and the Winter
Soldier Is good. Is fantastic. And it introduces
you to the new, well, he was trying to be the
captain. And it's actually Kurt Russell's son,
it's Wyatt Russell. And I love that actor, he's
awesome. But that particular character, like
what they were trying to make him, genius. Oh
yeah. Absolute genius. I thought it was great,
but they put it behind a paywall. Yes. They put
it behind, oh, you gotta give us 15 bones a month.
to stay up on your Marvel. It's like, fuck you.
Yeah, right. So it makes sense why a lot of Marvel
fans were split, like, OK, I'm done with it now
that phase three is finished, versus the people
that were like, I love the stories, I still want
to watch it. Yeah. But then Disney was being
fucking Disney. Yes. So it's so tough. And I'm
hoping that they can just get back to making
really good movies. Yes. Instead of like, oh,
well, you need Disney Plus to stay up on our
story. It's like, OK, fucking blow me. Fuck you.
I'm going to throw this out before we move on
to our beer review and World of Weird News. Reddit
Rabbit Hole and While You Were Sleeping, we're
going to do that next week. Aidan's got some
good shit there. but we're gonna be up for some
time. So that being the case, the only thing
I wanna mention to Marvel, if you're out there,
if you're listening, I would love a standalone
movie with Captain America returning the stones
and the hammer. I want to see him with Red Skull.
I wanna see that. All that time spent that we
never got to see. I want to see what led him
back to Peggy. I want to see that like that's
an adventure. We ever learned what happened with
Hawkeye in Budapest No, I don't think we know
I would love to see that. Let's let's do some
shit again boys Yeah, I mean, I just feel like
they're stories, you know and and Hawkeye still
there. He's still live I know he's kind of semi
-retired, but he's got the kids now You know,
I feel like there's this new Avengers movement
that's taking place based on the Thunderbolts,
which you should see. It's such... Like, I feel
like that was the first movie where I sat down
and watched it and went, oh, they're back. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Thunderbolts is so good. Like, it
could have made my list. It almost did. I almost
put Black Widow, the movie, on there. That was
good. It was fantastic. You learned so much about
her. Yes. You really did. Yes. And then, oh,
God, what's his name? from uh from stranger things
that played the dad oh god oh yeah yeah yeah
red guardian um david no harvard david harvard
yeah yeah yeah great he's so good he's so good
and he's in thunderbolts he's an awesome character
so good and it's like him and winter soldier
have kind of similar powers but they kind of
like and don't like each and like it's great
it's so good he's so good um so yeah Definitely
check out Doomsday. I think it's gonna be great.
We're gonna move on to beer review and world
of weird... I'm sorry. I did that wrong. I did
that wrong. The world of what? What are you talking
about? Hang on. The official beer review. We'll
fix that post. And... World of weird news! Thank
you. Goodness sake. I was like, is Mark Mo here?
Where'd he go? Better? You okay? No, I'm okay.
Alright, we're good. Alright, we're gonna go
on to our beer review. The official beer review.
The official. beer review. I think it's great.
Now, we've been sipping a few things. We talked
about the Founders one. We tracked about Founders.
We actually tried this Mortal Bloom Imperial
Thorn, which is really good. We've been rating
these on the app, by the way, the untapped app.
And the one we've got coming up, I'm going to
let Aidan explain a little bit, but it is called...
Citrus Sue, and there's a lot of you outside
of Chicago are not gonna know what that's all
about, but I'm gonna let them explain. Go to
the Field Museum. Go to the Field Museum. Go
see it. Citrus Sue, which of course on the can
has a beautiful picture of the dinosaur that
you can see in the Field Museum. Not sponsored,
but that would be so cool. I love museums. Citrus
Sue is made by Toppling Goliath Brewing Company,
which is out of Iowa, U .S. of A. So a couple
of states away, but still in the Midwest. It
is a Belgian blonde ale, 5 .2 % ABV. The average
rating from the 5 .2 thousand people that have
checked into this beer on Untapped, not sponsored,
but I wish they would, 3 .52 out of 5 is what
people think of it. Quote, a refreshing citrus
blonde ale brimming with sweet tropical notes
that are perfect for one afternoon. Citrus Sue
is brewed with fresh orange peel to give this
vibrant ale a bright pop. And we will be trying
it for you today. Ranking it on a scale from
zero to five. We're drinking it out the can.
And we'll let you know what the flavor notes
are. Most definitely. I am looking forward to
this. Let's crack this live. Cracker open. Yeah,
that's what's up. Was it good for you? It was
good for me. That's what's up. Good for me. That
peaked the mic, but I'll fix it in post. That's
okay. I need a towel and a cigarette. Okay, we
are now moving on to this citrus soup. I'm excited.
I love ales, a nose that's more in my wheelhouse.
Golden ale. Rarely we do a golden ale, but they're
so tasty. Oh, yeah, they definitely are. So I'm
definitely looking forward to this. Golden ale
and orange. Cheers. Sláinte. Ooh, nice on the
nose. Oh, this one's fun. I definitely get the
citrus for sure. Oh, yeah. Now we've... Hold
on. I just want to say we've been drinking off
show. Different beers that insist they have citrusy
notes. This one does. It's... Okay, hear me out.
Hear me out. I disagree with orange. What I am
getting... is tangerine slash mandarin mandarin
mandarin is what i'm getting that's fair so citrus
nonetheless yes but they said they added orange
peels to it yeah which i don't disagree with
i mean i'm sure they know how they brewed it
but the flavor that comes out tangerine tangerine
Tangerine or mandarin orange is definitely the
flavor. Okay, hang on. So we use the Untapped
app, which is a great app. Share it with your
friends when you're going out different places,
you're trying different beers. It's so much fun.
It's free. And it's free. So on flavor profile,
which Aidan and I sometimes agree, disagree on,
whatever, that's the fun part of it. I think
we largely agree, like citrusy, tangerine, citrus,
whatever. There's one on here called Pithy. Pithy?
Pithy, I don't know about that. Okay, I'm gonna
have to look up what pithy. Please, please do,
because I saw that and I'm like, wait a minute,
because it always lists like the top five. Pithy
is one of them. Uh, pithy. Yeah. Of a fruit or
plant containing much pith. Dude, get the fuck
out. What the? What? Pith. I hate definitions
like that. Mind you. Which I kind of understood,
but here's the dictionary definition. That's
fine. The spongy white tissue lining the rind
of citrus fruits. 100%. Okay, I'm down with pithy
then. Yeah. I'm completely down with it. That's
hilarious. It takes one dictionary definition
and then Mark Moe's like, okay, we're cooking
with pithy. Now we're cooking with pithy. I might
get a pithy tattoo. Yeah, no, I'm down. I'm completely
down. That makes 100 % sense. But it's so much
more clearly giving tangerine and mandarin. Yeah,
I think so. Than it is like your navel orange.
Yes, 100%. You know? I would agree with that,
yeah. Not to say it's bad, I think this is fantastic.
It's a good beer. It's just, it's blue, if you
smell it, it smells like a blue moon. But you
taste it. Yes. You taste it, it's mandarin orange.
It's different. Full bodied. I think because
blue moon I think is a vice beer, if I'm not
mistaken. I think it's a Belgian white, a white
ale. And where this is a Belgian blonde, I think
it's much more full bodied. I like that. It's
like Mandarin orange juice. I like that. Oh,
that's good. I believe this is the first toppling
Goliath beer we've tasted. We have not had this
before. That's pretty damn good. Holy hell. On
a scale from zero to five, I'm going to lock
in four to five. I'm going four and a quarter.
This is... I went 3 .75. Yeah. This is good.
This is elite tier for me. This is very tasty.
It's sweet in the way that fruit juices can be
sweet. But it's not cloyingly sweet. Like some
dessert beers are. Oh, I agree. Right. Like it's...
Respectfully sweet. I would argue. Yeah, that's
fair. If you come into this, lovely listener,
expecting... Orange juice, navel orange. That's
not it. You're getting tangerine. You're getting
mandarin. And to me, it's fantastic. Yeah, I
like it a lot. Locking in four and a quarter.
Locking in 3 .75. Excellent beer. Love it. I've
unlocked a couple of badges. You got badges.
I got badges. For anyone that's... Don't need
those stinking badges. For unfamiliar, you check
into enough beers, you unlock badges. So I have
untapped at home level 14. Thanks for staying
at home and checking, I'm not at my home, and
checking in with The Untapped. It allows us to
stay connected to a community of beer lovers
just like you. Oh, my man. Even if we can't be
in the same physical location from our home to
yours. Cheers. Stay safe. Level 14. My man. Then
I also unlocked Land of the Free, level 17. You
pledged allegiance and now's the time to enjoy
some beer. Now remember, not all American beer
is fizzy and yellow. Ain't that the truth? That's
85 different beers from a brewery in the United
States. Try five more for level 18. This sounds
like a challenge. Well, I only got one badge
today. Oh, that's okay. And it is the Land of
the Free badge. Dude, just blow me out of the
water. Level 86. Oh my god. Jesus Christ. 430
different beers from a brewery in the US of A.
Try five more for level 87. Don't mind if I do.
Now, look, people. While you may think, look,
hang on. It's a bad public appearance. I'm calling
a timeout. I'm calling a timeout. Look, you may
be like, man, this older dude is a fucking noob.
I've been drinking long before this kid, okay?
I just haven't had the app. I've only been drinking
age for five years. Right. So I would probably
be on level, like, 300, to be fair. So I think
it's just hilarious. Like, we do things like,
oh, I'm level 18. He's like, I'm level 75. And
I'm like, oh my god. To be fair, I joined the...
This app the untapped app a few months after
my 21st birthday. So this was in 2021 five years
ago Yeah, yeah ballpark and you've joined much
more recently than that year ago. Yeah Yeah,
so I guess bottom line right this is a Citrus
Sue good stuff good stuff quite like it. Yeah
quite like it It says on the can, brewing up
history with the Field Museum. Do you see that?
We didn't see that on the can at the first. No.
Turn it around. Turn it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I
got you. I got you. Right here. Brewing up history
with the Field Museum. So they have a Field Museum
connection. That's so cool. I love that. We did
not see that before we started yapping about
it. So that's awesome. Brewed in beautiful Decora,
Iowa. Decora, Iowa. I love that. Looks like God,
I can't even say the Quad Cities. It's up like
further north than that, like almost near the
Iowa Minnesota border. That's cool. Yeah. Hell
yeah. I love that. God bless the Field Museum.
So cheers to you, Citrus Sue. Well done. Good
shit. That brings us to World of Weird News to
close out the show. I have a fun one here. The
name of the story is called Wrong Order. A man
who purchased a bag of greens from Woolworths
in Western Australia found more green than expected
inside reported 102 .5 ABC Perth on May 17th.
Oh no. And this is right up Aidan's alley because
he does the Australian accent. The Australians
are great. They're the best. The Australian man
unnamed in the report of course unnamed in the
report opened the lettuce and discovered a small
frog oh my god among the leaves he's the most
casual australian ever and he's like bro i've
got a lettuce like a frog in my life Like a frog
in my lettuce. Bro, you've got a lettuce like
a frog in me lettuce, mate. His roommate, Laura
Jones, a native New Zealander said, Jones shared
a video on TikTok where millions of viewers caught
a glimpse of the amphibious stowaway. It's quite
a decent sized frog for being adventure. Billy...
Billy Lapine. Another roommate said the bag of
lettuce does have holes in it to keep the produce
fresh. So he had a snack and some air on his
way over. So the frog was live. He was good.
He was fine. Dude was chilling. The trio named
the frog Greg. Greg? Greg and released him at
a nearby dam. Woolworth said the incident is
under investigation. You're right. And called
it an isolated event with no reported cases.
And they said, I'm just glad Greg, I'm just glad
Greg is back in his natural habitat. How great
is that? I love that. We're just glad Greg's
back in his natural habitat, mate. Oh my god.
I love that. In America, let's be honest, in
America, like somebody's getting sued. Oh, yeah.
And in Australia, it's just a joke. Good. Release
the boy at the dam, hey? Yeah, release him at
the dam. I love that. Holy shit. That's awesome.
Amazing. That's awesome. All right, dude, what
you got? I got a little news story here. Yeah.
from Stereogum .com. Robert Fripp, still unsure
why hospital shaved his balls after a heart attack.
This is from May 24, 2026, recent story. So the
band King Crimson. Oh yeah! King Crimson's Robert
Fripp, who turned 80 last week, seems to be doing
much better after suffering a heart attack last
year. He even gave his first live performance
since the incident at the Church of San Alessandro
Materi in Italy and launched a substack. Despite
the strong recovery, Fripp is still left with
some peculiar questions. Mainly, why were his
balls shaved while he was being treated? Oh my
god. Quote, you're concerned with my heart. Fine.
What are you doing shaving my balls? The guitarist
remarked in a vlog last year with his wife as
he recounted the story. Wilcox added that maybe
it had to do with the cleaning of his body, something
that could harbor germs since he was going into
heart surgery. In a new interview with Uncut,
Fripp gave an update on his health and revisited
his balls mystery. Quote, I was an A &E and they
hooked me up to a monitor and the next step was
this dear man turned up and shaved my balls,
he said. I thought, well, if this has something
to do with my heart, why is he shaving my balls?
There was never, here's where it gets fucked,
there was never a reason given for why it happened.
Quote, the man shaving my balls didn't tell me,
Fripp explained. But he was likely being prepared
for a cardiac catheterization using the femoral
artery in the groin. Quote, very few of the staff
spoke English, of course he was in Italy at the
time. which led to one or two funny moments like
me taking my pants down for inspection by a matronly
nurse who was actually asking what I wanted for
lunch. He's like, what do you want for lunch?
He just puts his drawers down. Oh my god, dude.
Holy shit. He survived the heart attack, but
the mystery of the shaved balls may haunt him
forever. That is hilarious. Hey, you know, it's
like you're in there. Some dude's like, this
dude could use some manscaping. You went in for
a heart attack and you came out a little cleaner.
Hey, he's doing to a solid. That's the way I
like that It's hilarious. Holy hell. Well guys,
that's that's that's our time. That's it. That's
all we got I love you guys. Thank you so much
