00:00:35.929 --> 00:00:38.329
of good stuff. I'd like to introduce my co -host

00:00:38.329 --> 00:00:41.789
and producer Aidan Maloney, how are you bud? Oh,

00:00:41.789 --> 00:00:44.909
I'm doing okay a little bit a little bit on edge.

00:00:45.049 --> 00:00:47.990
Well little okay a little bit on edge tech issues

00:00:48.329 --> 00:00:50.969
this morning that I was troubleshooting for a

00:00:50.969 --> 00:00:54.210
hot minute. And for anyone wondering, this is

00:00:54.210 --> 00:00:57.469
our season 6 episode 9. So this is 6 -9. 6 -9.

00:00:57.490 --> 00:00:59.229
And you make me confused. Like, wait a minute.

00:00:59.670 --> 00:01:04.150
Wasn't Magic Bus part 3 episode 9? Wasn't that

00:01:04.150 --> 00:01:09.590
6 -9? And I beg the... We can do it twice. We

00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:11.950
can do it twice. And quite frankly, Magic Bus

00:01:11.950 --> 00:01:14.409
number three is Magic Bus number three. Yeah,

00:01:14.450 --> 00:01:16.489
this is true. Yeah. That's if we're going to

00:01:16.489 --> 00:01:18.709
be completely honest. More of a bonus. It's more

00:01:18.709 --> 00:01:20.769
of a bonus, more of kind of its own thing. But

00:01:20.769 --> 00:01:22.950
if you haven't checked that one out yet, you

00:01:22.950 --> 00:01:24.390
should definitely check it out. It's a good time.

00:01:24.409 --> 00:01:27.530
It's one of the only times we take the Mark Mo

00:01:27.530 --> 00:01:31.450
show on the road. Thus far. Are there sound quality

00:01:31.450 --> 00:01:33.469
issues? Yeah, but we're kind of outside, and

00:01:33.469 --> 00:01:35.489
we're in buses and bars and everything else,

00:01:36.069 --> 00:01:37.790
so we kind of do the best we can. Yeah, and we

00:01:37.790 --> 00:01:40.569
did better this time around than last time. We

00:01:40.569 --> 00:01:45.650
were able to use some studio sound tech to make

00:01:45.650 --> 00:01:48.370
it sound a little better, so I thought that was

00:01:48.370 --> 00:01:51.719
point out. And it did. The sound wasn't... As

00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.239
we would say crisp, but I thought it was good.

00:01:54.260 --> 00:01:57.519
Like you could hear everybody Which I guess is

00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.780
the point. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but yeah, I I

00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:04.359
spent most of this morning drinking Aldi brand

00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:09.740
Red Bulls and Sitting in the studio trying to

00:02:09.740 --> 00:02:14.759
figure out why I can't upload anything on TikTok

00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.800
and reels. Oh Because that's something we started

00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.539
doing last week. So yes, if anyone out there

00:02:20.539 --> 00:02:22.560
is like Oh, you know, scrolling through your

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.500
phone, you see some short form content of ours,

00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:28.439
or you can look us up. It's A &M and Co. Because

00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.620
it's A &M gaming plus Mark Mo Show plus Aiden

00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:35.180
spelled the right way. Yes. And yeah, we even

00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:39.659
posted in a few days because TikTok, I do it

00:02:39.659 --> 00:02:43.020
all on my PC, right? All the editing, long form,

00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.000
short form, clipping. I do all that on my PC.

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.300
And from what I've gathered, Both tik -tok and

00:02:50.300 --> 00:02:53.360
Instagram reels are optimized so you can upload

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.879
from your phone, you know makes it's a critical

00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.460
video Yep, but there are ways to upload on tik

00:03:00.460 --> 00:03:03.740
-tok studio on your PC and real studio on your

00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:08.340
PC and then I Had a problem with Instagram not

00:03:08.340 --> 00:03:11.960
letting me log in. Oh, it was looping So I would

00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.120
put in the info it would take me to like the

00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.479
capture screen prove. You're not a robot I would

00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.659
do the CAPTCHA, and it would boot me back to

00:03:19.659 --> 00:03:22.020
the login screen. I was having a problem like

00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:25.199
that with Yahoo Mail yesterday. Yeah. It just

00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.099
kept repeating, repeating, repeating. I said,

00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:30.199
all right, I'm out. Yeah. So I've looked it up.

00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.719
It seems that is a known problem unsolved, as

00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.639
far as I could tell. So yeah, I have to do Instagram

00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.199
for my phone now, which is inconvenient. And

00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:43.960
then TikTok wasn't letting me upload. At all,

00:03:43.979 --> 00:03:46.039
like I would put the video in, do descriptions

00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.460
and hashtags and all the backend stuff. I would

00:03:49.460 --> 00:03:52.280
click post and it would say video published with

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.900
a nice green check mark. Except the video wasn't

00:03:54.900 --> 00:03:59.560
published and it just disappeared. I tried a

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.780
thousand different things and you know what worked?

00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:05.280
How I was finally able to publish again. How

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:09.340
was that? I went into on Brave browser on my

00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:13.520
PC. I went into inspect element. for the webpage,

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.439
and then there was some kind of dev tool that

00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.000
lets you, that makes the website think you're

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.360
using it on mobile. Oh my god. And I had to in

00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:29.120
16 .9, terrible vertical screen on my PC. Oh

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.980
god. Do all of the background editing or uploading

00:04:32.980 --> 00:04:38.819
and all that in quote unquote mobile dev tool.

00:04:39.149 --> 00:04:43.949
TikTok PC. That's insanity. It was so stupid.

00:04:44.449 --> 00:04:48.050
It's so stupid. And thank God it worked. So now

00:04:48.050 --> 00:04:50.569
I know I just do that from now on. Yeah. Oh,

00:04:50.569 --> 00:04:53.050
for sure. That's also inconvenient. But it's

00:04:53.050 --> 00:04:55.209
just one of those things where, like, YouTube

00:04:55.209 --> 00:04:57.370
has it figured out. As much as we hate on the

00:04:57.370 --> 00:05:00.649
algorithm, their backend is completely sensical.

00:05:00.910 --> 00:05:03.230
The analytics make sense. The uploading process

00:05:03.230 --> 00:05:06.870
is logical and easy. Yeah. Why is TikTok and

00:05:06.870 --> 00:05:10.100
Instagram so dog shit? I don't, I don't, I don't

00:05:10.100 --> 00:05:13.459
get it. Quite frustrating. So, needless to say,

00:05:13.540 --> 00:05:17.560
I'm already feeling spicy today. Well. Coming

00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:23.579
into the show. Yeah. Well, if history is any

00:05:23.579 --> 00:05:26.500
indicator, when one of us or both of us are kind

00:05:26.500 --> 00:05:28.879
of in that spicy, we're already wound up mode,

00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:31.360
tends to be a good show. This is true. Yeah.

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.480
Either in vulnerable states, sleep deprivation,

00:05:34.699 --> 00:05:38.230
hungover, or in heightened states, such as Anger

00:05:38.230 --> 00:05:41.149
and stress. Yeah, it's it's like if we're feeling

00:05:41.149 --> 00:05:44.430
middle of the road. It's like it'll be good But

00:05:44.430 --> 00:05:46.649
if we're one way or the other it's like all this

00:05:46.649 --> 00:05:49.389
is gonna be a good episode. Oh, yeah Oh for certain

00:05:49.389 --> 00:05:53.970
and you know, I have to say that Oddly enough.

00:05:53.970 --> 00:05:58.389
I'm not amongst the lack of sleep sleepers today.

00:05:58.689 --> 00:06:04.879
I got a ton of sleep I was home i got home from

00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.959
work last night and was going to interview this

00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:08.959
person who's who's going to be coming up on one

00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.279
of the fireside chats but i got home kind of

00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.899
late and so i reached out to her and i was like

00:06:13.899 --> 00:06:16.420
hey you know i'm running late i probably won't

00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:18.319
get to your place until like seven or a little

00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.860
after is that still okay or do we need to reschedule

00:06:20.860 --> 00:06:23.160
need to reschedule okay whatever that's my bad

00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.699
i got home late that's fine so basically i was

00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:31.089
like cool put something in the You know, a frozen

00:06:31.089 --> 00:06:33.730
meal. Ha ha, frozen guy. The frozen guy, oh yeah.

00:06:33.949 --> 00:06:37.670
Yeah, that guy. So I made myself some food and

00:06:37.670 --> 00:06:40.750
had food or whatever. And then I was just farting

00:06:40.750 --> 00:06:42.910
around on my phone and the thought entered my

00:06:42.910 --> 00:06:45.290
head, well, I could fart around on my phone while

00:06:45.290 --> 00:06:50.009
lying in my bed. Clever maneuver. Clever maneuver.

00:06:50.430 --> 00:06:52.649
So I went and I pulled that move and so I'm just

00:06:52.649 --> 00:06:55.529
kind of chilling in bed and I'm on my phone and

00:06:55.529 --> 00:06:57.709
texting and social media, all that kind of stuff.

00:06:58.290 --> 00:07:01.889
It's like 830 now supposed to my friend Melissa

00:07:01.889 --> 00:07:06.569
as a bartender at this new Gardner Hotel in Valparaiso,

00:07:06.730 --> 00:07:09.029
it's this fancy new place But they have this

00:07:09.029 --> 00:07:12.089
really cool speakeasy where you have to walk

00:07:12.089 --> 00:07:13.829
through this massive portrait to get into it

00:07:13.829 --> 00:07:17.209
So it's kind of cool So I like Friday night.

00:07:17.230 --> 00:07:18.550
She's like, yeah, I'm gonna be working or whatever

00:07:18.550 --> 00:07:22.089
So her fiancee Dustin and I I was like communicating

00:07:22.089 --> 00:07:23.829
with him like yeah Maybe I'll just go up there

00:07:23.829 --> 00:07:25.629
with you and we'll hang out, you know and have

00:07:25.629 --> 00:07:28.329
a beer or whatever So like, I already had like

00:07:28.329 --> 00:07:31.769
a plan, and then I lay in my bed, I'm on my phone,

00:07:32.269 --> 00:07:36.389
and then I'm like, I'll take a nap. Now, I did

00:07:36.389 --> 00:07:38.750
the right thing and set my alarm for like 30

00:07:38.750 --> 00:07:41.629
minutes on my phone, like I'll take a 30 minute

00:07:41.629 --> 00:07:43.829
nap, I'll be good to go. But when your phone,

00:07:43.850 --> 00:07:46.410
and you don't realize your phone's on like 5%,

00:07:46.410 --> 00:07:49.709
and you think it's plugged in, but the little

00:07:49.709 --> 00:07:52.790
pluggy thing didn't go all the way in, and so

00:07:52.790 --> 00:07:57.500
phone dies. along with my evening so it's like

00:07:57.500 --> 00:08:00.199
8 40 when i when i crashed i was planning on

00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.800
getting up at like 9 15 or 9 10 or whatever and

00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.959
all of a sudden i get up now i don't know if

00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.220
any of you out there are this way it might be

00:08:08.220 --> 00:08:13.300
more of an older person thing maybe us middle

00:08:13.300 --> 00:08:15.620
-agers just wake up and feel this way sometimes

00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:19.480
i woke up it's pitch dark and it was dusk when

00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.160
i when i dozed it's pitch dark White as hell

00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:27.180
outside. I opened my eyes and I just had a light

00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:28.939
on in the bathroom, right? So it's kind of shining

00:08:28.939 --> 00:08:31.319
across the room and whatever the silhouette effects

00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.500
and all that. And I'm like literally didn't even

00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:36.679
know where I was. I was just like, where am I?

00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.440
What's going on? Literally once I opened my eyes

00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.440
and I didn't know what day it was. I'm like,

00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.139
why do I feel like I need to be somewhere? Like

00:08:45.139 --> 00:08:50.559
I was my brain was scrambled. So that's the downside

00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.210
of doing a nap. But not controlling that nap

00:08:54.210 --> 00:08:56.990
session just letting the nap take control which

00:08:56.990 --> 00:08:58.929
it did for the better part of three and a half

00:08:58.929 --> 00:09:02.649
hours Which if you nap too long, it will mess

00:09:02.649 --> 00:09:05.289
you up. Oh, yeah It will mess you up and it messed

00:09:05.289 --> 00:09:07.629
me up good because then it's like I got up I'm

00:09:07.629 --> 00:09:09.730
like, oh my god, and so I get up I take a leak.

00:09:09.750 --> 00:09:12.169
I'm like trying to get my bearings about me.

00:09:12.169 --> 00:09:14.889
I'm like wait. Okay, it's Friday Do I have that

00:09:14.889 --> 00:09:16.889
recording thing? No, no, no, we canceled that.

00:09:17.230 --> 00:09:19.889
Okay, is it still Friday? I'm like, I'm like,

00:09:19.929 --> 00:09:21.370
okay, I got charged my phone. I don't know what's

00:09:21.370 --> 00:09:24.450
going on So I get some charge in my phone, turn

00:09:24.450 --> 00:09:28.389
my phone on, and see that it's like 1 .47. I'm

00:09:28.389 --> 00:09:31.210
like, oh my god. I'm like, so the night's done.

00:09:31.330 --> 00:09:32.450
At that point, you look at your phone, you're

00:09:32.450 --> 00:09:35.990
like, OK, that night's done. And I'm all kind

00:09:35.990 --> 00:09:39.029
of messed up about it. And so I text my friend.

00:09:39.149 --> 00:09:41.330
I was just like, hey, so sorry to make it up

00:09:41.330 --> 00:09:42.850
to see you at your bar, because they close at

00:09:42.850 --> 00:09:45.210
midnight. So they're long gone. I'm like, hey,

00:09:45.289 --> 00:09:48.000
sorry to make it. I'm like, I. Went to take a

00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.600
nap and I was done. So like no worries. It was

00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.860
a complete chit show. I'm like, okay Yeah, she's

00:09:52.860 --> 00:09:54.879
like you would have had no place to sit. I'm

00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.980
like fair enough. Okay But even so like I just

00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:01.539
felt I was completely messed up. So I'm on my

00:10:01.539 --> 00:10:03.539
phone again I'm like, oh my god. Am I gonna be

00:10:03.539 --> 00:10:05.200
able to fall back asleep? This is really gonna

00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.720
mess me up So I kind of forced myself back asleep

00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.480
at about a quarter to three three o 'clock I

00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:14.639
finally like started dozing back off and Tossed

00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.700
and turned a little bit but like didn't move

00:10:16.700 --> 00:10:19.519
again until like 830 and I'm like, oh god I'm

00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.960
like this is way too much sleep for me. I don't

00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.820
know like literally I work off six hours Yeah,

00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:29.139
you know I can work off five preferably six and

00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:31.480
I do that on the regular even if I go out during

00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.779
the week I'm like I know me so I'm like, okay

00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:35.980
as long as I can get this amount of sleep I'll

00:10:35.980 --> 00:10:39.539
be good tomorrow and too much I think too much

00:10:39.539 --> 00:10:43.230
messes me up more than too little Yeah And I

00:10:43.230 --> 00:10:44.710
feel like you've kind of trained yourself for

00:10:44.710 --> 00:10:47.789
that, too, with all of those like, oh, man, I

00:10:47.789 --> 00:10:49.750
show up and we're doing the Mark Mo show. You're

00:10:49.750 --> 00:10:51.470
like, yeah, I think I got like three and a half,

00:10:51.610 --> 00:10:54.070
four hours last night. So I think you kind of

00:10:54.070 --> 00:10:58.690
trained yourself where? To work past that. Right.

00:10:58.830 --> 00:11:00.889
Right. Where like eight hours happens and your

00:11:00.889 --> 00:11:04.330
brain's like, man, what the fuck was that? Oh,

00:11:04.389 --> 00:11:06.620
yeah. Yeah, because there's, you know, sometimes

00:11:06.620 --> 00:11:08.440
you do go out during the week and then you just

00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.059
tell yourself, all right, let's try to wrap this

00:11:10.059 --> 00:11:11.919
up by midnight or one so you can get some sleep

00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.360
and be ready to go in the morning. But, you know,

00:11:14.419 --> 00:11:16.980
things happen. Beers happen. Girls happen, whatever.

00:11:16.980 --> 00:11:18.559
And all of a sudden it's three, three thirty.

00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.320
And you're like, well, shit. And you just get

00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.600
as much sleep as you possibly can. But it's like

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.360
I just like if I get if I'm out and I'm having

00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.840
a good time and I get home late and I get three

00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.200
and a half to four hours of sleep, I suck it

00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:32.700
up. I think I've just because I've been trained

00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:35.090
since I've been like 21 years old. Yeah. And

00:11:35.090 --> 00:11:37.029
I'm like, I used to do it at the very first law

00:11:37.029 --> 00:11:39.610
firm because you'd have friends and I still had

00:11:39.610 --> 00:11:41.490
friends that were still in college when I was

00:11:41.490 --> 00:11:44.629
out starting to work. And you'd hear from them

00:11:44.629 --> 00:11:47.610
at 10 or 1030 on a Wednesday. Hey, man, it's

00:11:47.610 --> 00:11:51.929
dollar picture night. You coming out? Yeah, I

00:11:51.929 --> 00:11:54.750
probably am. And then you go and then it's three

00:11:54.750 --> 00:11:56.730
in the morning. You're like, well, shit, got

00:11:56.730 --> 00:11:58.409
to be at the law firm at eight. And I am and

00:11:58.409 --> 00:12:00.409
I'm there and I'm up and I'm working and I just

00:12:00.409 --> 00:12:02.850
do it. And I don't know, just like a bunch of

00:12:02.850 --> 00:12:04.929
us would do that from Wednesday to Thursday to

00:12:04.929 --> 00:12:08.090
Friday. And it was just like, for those that

00:12:08.090 --> 00:12:10.549
smoked, it was like coffee, coffee, coffee cigarette.

00:12:11.169 --> 00:12:14.049
Coffee cigarette. Everybody's like they're like

00:12:14.049 --> 00:12:16.350
a quarter to eight in the morning. Like are we

00:12:16.350 --> 00:12:18.409
really doing this? Yeah, we're doing it is so

00:12:18.409 --> 00:12:20.690
we all like, okay Let's go and then we all kind

00:12:20.690 --> 00:12:22.789
of make our way into the into the building and

00:12:22.789 --> 00:12:26.110
we're productive That is the breakfast of champions

00:12:26.110 --> 00:12:28.169
though. It's like nicotine and caffeine. It's

00:12:28.169 --> 00:12:31.669
like all we're going. Yeah Give me a Marlboro.

00:12:31.690 --> 00:12:34.350
It's a black coffee and let's let's go. Let's

00:12:34.350 --> 00:12:37.549
get this thing done And and and so I don't know.

00:12:37.549 --> 00:12:40.029
Maybe that's just why I still can do it today

00:12:40.820 --> 00:12:42.899
Does it sometimes hit me harder because I am

00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:44.919
older sure, you know, maybe you're a little bit

00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:48.480
a little bit more Achy or like I was when I woke

00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.639
up and I was just like out of it like oh my god.

00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.460
Yeah What universe is this is this is this Marvel

00:12:54.460 --> 00:12:57.299
1066? I mean, you're just trying to you're trying

00:12:57.299 --> 00:12:59.220
to get your bearings and figure out like where

00:12:59.220 --> 00:13:02.440
you are and who you are and and it gets kind

00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.820
of crazy almost almost comical, but Yeah, too

00:13:05.820 --> 00:13:08.980
much sleep. I think worse than than not enough

00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:11.580
Which is crazy, because most people would think

00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:14.059
the opposite. But I do know that feeling. Because

00:13:14.059 --> 00:13:16.899
I got like eight hours last night. But there

00:13:16.899 --> 00:13:18.960
were a couple nights this week where I only got

00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:24.320
six. Which, I mean, my job is physically laborious.

00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.940
Sometimes physically brutal. And if I have like

00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:31.700
six hours of sleep, I'm slow. I'm not feeling

00:13:31.700 --> 00:13:34.379
it. No amount of caffeine does it for me. But

00:13:34.379 --> 00:13:36.820
then I'll like, my brain will be like, okay,

00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:40.080
time to catch up. Then someday during the weekend.

00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.139
I'll get like nine and a half hours of sleep

00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:45.259
Yeah, I'm like wow what a waste. I could have

00:13:45.259 --> 00:13:48.559
been doing stuff today. Oh for sure Yeah, there's

00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.279
no doubt and and I think maybe that's what was

00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:53.940
wrong with my brain last night is that I had

00:13:53.940 --> 00:13:56.100
a three and a half hour nap But I think when

00:13:56.100 --> 00:13:57.899
I woke up my brains like oh, yeah, three and

00:13:57.899 --> 00:13:59.419
a half hours of sleep We're ready to go to work

00:13:59.419 --> 00:14:02.100
and it was just like waking up and seeing it's

00:14:02.100 --> 00:14:03.759
just so dark and the rest of the world is sleeping

00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.509
and you're just like what year is it where am

00:14:06.509 --> 00:14:09.129
i doc brown help me you know you're just like

00:14:09.129 --> 00:14:11.590
you're just in this place that is totally fucking

00:14:11.590 --> 00:14:16.370
weird um but yeah at any rate it was it was something

00:14:16.370 --> 00:14:19.379
to behold Trippy, I imagine. It was incredibly

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:23.500
trippy. So you're up then and you're like, okay,

00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:26.899
if I can somehow feel a little bit tired, I'm

00:14:26.899 --> 00:14:29.360
just going to force myself back to sleep. But

00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.240
then I wasn't right away. So you get something

00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:35.879
to drink, handful of Cheez -Its, you're walking

00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.000
around, you're up in bed on the phone. And then

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:40.440
sometimes I'm like, all right, if I stare at

00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:42.259
this phone long enough, my eyes will get tired.

00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:45.039
and then I will go back to sleep. And so that's

00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:47.179
kind of the strategy sometimes. Gotcha. Yeah.

00:14:47.179 --> 00:14:49.519
It's kind of the strategy sometimes. So that

00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.860
was it. He's wound up. I'm loopy. This is going

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:54.940
to be something special today, folks. I'm telling

00:14:54.940 --> 00:14:58.159
you. This is going to be a good one. But before

00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.240
we kind of get into the nuts and bolts of our

00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.960
show today, I just want to mention Aidan's YouTube

00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:05.799
gaming channel called Aidan Spelled the Right

00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.960
Way. He has great gaming content. He does the

00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.200
GeoGuessr and PolyBridge and Observation Duty

00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:17.860
and gobs and gobs of horror content, which is

00:15:17.860 --> 00:15:20.779
really great. Aidan's reactions are genuine and

00:15:20.779 --> 00:15:23.399
they're hilarious. So what do you got going on

00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:27.480
right now? Well, we're still in indie horror

00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:30.039
hell, but like hell in like a compliment way,

00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.440
you know? Where it's like, this is good. This

00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:34.919
is good horror content. So still cooking with

00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:38.980
that. I've been putting on the schedule a couple

00:15:38.980 --> 00:15:42.759
like simulator games. Like a couple weeks ago

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:45.759
I played one called Unemployment Simulator. which

00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:47.980
was just funny and weird. But there are other

00:15:47.980 --> 00:15:50.639
ones. I lived that game. It's not fun. I'm just

00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.580
going to say that. Prison simulator where you're

00:15:54.580 --> 00:15:56.919
like, you're an inmate and you're like trading

00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:58.879
cigarettes and shit. Exactly. Trade cigarettes

00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.039
or do pushups. Man, I got to get ripped. Right.

00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.399
So a couple of fun little games like that, but

00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:06.580
mostly indie horror. It's just my favorite by

00:16:06.580 --> 00:16:09.039
far. I love it. That's great stuff, dude. But

00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.019
definitely check that out. That's on YouTube.

00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:16.309
And then we have a collab game. site. When we

00:16:16.309 --> 00:16:20.809
play games, we're able to kind of use our improv

00:16:20.809 --> 00:16:23.730
and silliness and goofiness that we have on this

00:16:23.730 --> 00:16:26.750
show and play games and do that kind of thing.

00:16:26.830 --> 00:16:29.929
It's called A &M Gaming, also on YouTube. And

00:16:29.929 --> 00:16:31.830
it's, I don't know, we have a lot of fun doing

00:16:31.830 --> 00:16:37.049
it and we also do GeoGuessr and Observation Duty.

00:16:37.389 --> 00:16:39.990
We do like storyboard games because I think those

00:16:39.990 --> 00:16:43.549
are the easiest way. we can use our improvisational

00:16:43.549 --> 00:16:47.590
comedy skills the most and still like games so

00:16:47.590 --> 00:16:49.070
like gamers will be interested because we are

00:16:49.070 --> 00:16:51.110
playing a game but the people like our content

00:16:51.110 --> 00:16:53.149
on mark moshow can kind of tune in like it too

00:16:53.149 --> 00:16:55.669
because we're just being us yeah so i think there's

00:16:55.669 --> 00:16:59.090
there's that appeal uh to it and uh i don't know

00:16:59.090 --> 00:17:01.009
about you but i i have a ton of fun with it we

00:17:01.009 --> 00:17:06.559
have uh we have a lot of um A lot of interesting

00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:11.160
content on there. I know that people tend to

00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.839
like the GeoGuessr stuff according to our numbers.

00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:17.319
So, you know, we'll do that a little bit more

00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:18.940
on the regular because we know you guys like

00:17:18.940 --> 00:17:23.000
it. But, you know, the storyboard games, there's...

00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:24.980
One, I always forget the name of it, but it's...

00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:28.900
I'm the queen. Yes. Sort the court. Sort the

00:17:28.900 --> 00:17:31.599
court. Yeah. And I think the first one was pretty

00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:33.819
funny. I don't know if I was in a mood that day.

00:17:33.859 --> 00:17:35.799
I think I was on the mark because a lot of times

00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.200
we record back to back. So I think I was in a

00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:40.240
mood on the Mark Mo Show and it just carried

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:43.160
over into our gaming content. So all of a sudden,

00:17:43.180 --> 00:17:46.200
I'm the queen, but I'm more like Joseph Stalin

00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:54.630
and I'm just ruling with an iron fist. It's kind

00:17:54.630 --> 00:17:56.210
of funny, and that green blob guy can go fuck

00:17:56.210 --> 00:18:00.069
himself. I don't like that dude. Winston? Winston.

00:18:00.329 --> 00:18:02.609
Yeah, Winston. I'm sure Winston's cool as hell,

00:18:02.609 --> 00:18:07.170
but he's just needy and doesn't offer me anything.

00:18:08.450 --> 00:18:10.769
So anyway, if you're like, what's he talking

00:18:10.769 --> 00:18:12.769
about? You just got to go to the AM gaming site,

00:18:13.109 --> 00:18:14.509
and you got to check it out, and then you'll

00:18:14.509 --> 00:18:16.430
know. And then maybe at the end of that episode,

00:18:16.509 --> 00:18:19.130
you'll go, yeah, that Winston guy. Fuck that

00:18:19.130 --> 00:18:23.109
guy. He's no good. He's no bueno. At any rate,

00:18:23.549 --> 00:18:25.930
definitely check all that out. It's definitely

00:18:25.930 --> 00:18:28.609
good stuff. I also want to ask a couple of quick

00:18:28.609 --> 00:18:32.509
housekeeping notes, as it were. Happy birthday

00:18:32.509 --> 00:18:39.589
to Keira Maloney. She is my last child, the quote

00:18:39.589 --> 00:18:43.569
unquote baby, as it were. And it is her birthday

00:18:43.569 --> 00:18:47.529
today. So we wish her a happy birthday in whatever

00:18:47.529 --> 00:18:51.099
part of Washington she... currently resides.

00:18:51.099 --> 00:18:53.779
Yeah, way on the other side of the country. Way

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:55.940
on the other side of the country, in the part

00:18:55.940 --> 00:18:59.700
of Washington that is, I don't want to say desolate,

00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:03.359
because the Palouse is quite beautiful, but there

00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:05.440
are parts of... It's a different kind of desolate.

00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:07.900
Like if you're talking desolate in Indiana or

00:19:07.900 --> 00:19:11.500
Illinois, where we're at, it's desolate. There's

00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:14.400
corn, and there's meth, and that's it. Corn and

00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:17.259
meth. Welcome to Indiana, corn and meth. On Pacific

00:19:17.259 --> 00:19:19.079
Northwest, even if you're in somewhere desolate,

00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.079
it's like, wow, this is beautiful. Yeah. It's

00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:24.619
definitely something to see. It's very... It's

00:19:24.619 --> 00:19:27.039
very different, I guess, especially here from

00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:31.319
the Midwest, for sure. Because Aidan and I have

00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:34.259
our differences in terms of like, because Aidan's

00:19:34.259 --> 00:19:36.019
done enough traveling in his life where he's

00:19:36.019 --> 00:19:39.079
seen a lot of states. I've seen a lot more just

00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:41.559
because I've been a lot more places and I'm older

00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:44.019
and whatever. But I've been to like 44 states.

00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:47.180
He's probably been to 30 some odd. 30 some odd

00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:48.140
states. Yeah, give or take. He's been to quite

00:19:48.140 --> 00:19:52.470
a few. So we differ a little bit in. like the

00:19:52.470 --> 00:19:55.890
most desolate or most boring state to drive through.

00:19:56.230 --> 00:20:00.490
I think it's Nebraska and Nebraska's just flat

00:20:00.490 --> 00:20:04.009
and it's corn for four and a half hours. Yeah.

00:20:04.509 --> 00:20:07.609
And that, that's rough. That, that is, that's

00:20:07.609 --> 00:20:10.589
a rough deal. Although Nebraska does have one

00:20:10.589 --> 00:20:12.869
positive that's Lake Maloney, which is our last

00:20:12.869 --> 00:20:17.329
name, which I found on a trip with a friend 30

00:20:17.329 --> 00:20:20.450
years ago. And then we saw the sign and I'm like,

00:20:20.509 --> 00:20:23.930
uh history repeat let's go and then we were able

00:20:23.930 --> 00:20:26.269
to do the same exact photo with the same exact

00:20:26.269 --> 00:20:30.569
sign with all my kids so that was pretty freaking

00:20:30.569 --> 00:20:34.450
cool yeah damn right that was very cool so uh

00:20:34.450 --> 00:20:37.190
but yeah nebraska just and nothing gets nebraska

00:20:37.190 --> 00:20:41.390
people i you know for the people i've dealt with

00:20:41.390 --> 00:20:44.269
you're all amazing great but your state's just

00:20:44.269 --> 00:20:48.899
kind of yeah nebraska kansas new mexico Tough

00:20:48.899 --> 00:20:51.920
drives. Tough road trips. Those are. And I get

00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:54.220
New Mexico. Like, if someone were to imagine,

00:20:54.299 --> 00:20:56.759
hey, what's it like to drive on Mars? Go to New

00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:58.319
Mexico. Pretty close, yeah. Go to New Mexico.

00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:01.960
There's just not a lot there. But once again,

00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.740
the people there are amazing. It's just your

00:21:04.740 --> 00:21:07.839
topography. Yeah, this is true. You have no control

00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.400
over that. So it is what it is. Although I do

00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:13.920
have to say, when I made that trip with my friend

00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:17.740
years ago through Nebraska, it was rather interesting.

00:21:19.300 --> 00:21:22.380
And we were driving, we weren't, I think we were

00:21:22.380 --> 00:21:25.480
just plat, something plat, we were just driving

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:28.859
by. It was before Omaha, Omaha and Lincoln, I

00:21:28.859 --> 00:21:31.720
know that much. But we're driving along, and

00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:34.059
we like, we knew we needed gas, so there was

00:21:34.059 --> 00:21:36.480
a sign for gas. We get off, nothing on the other

00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:38.339
side of the highway, and I'll. barn on the other

00:21:38.339 --> 00:21:40.839
side. I'm like, where's the gas? There is no

00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:43.359
gas. And if the gas is in the barn, we're turning

00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:44.859
around and we're just going to take our chances

00:21:44.859 --> 00:21:46.700
on the highway, which is exactly what we do.

00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:49.059
Yeah. So we got to the next stop. The next stop

00:21:49.059 --> 00:21:51.160
was like Bob's gas station or whatever. Like,

00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.599
oh, my God. And the gas station just looked kind

00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:55.539
of creepy. And the people there look kind of

00:21:55.539 --> 00:21:58.680
creepy. And it's like a truck and this other

00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:01.339
kind of broken down looking car. I'm like, I

00:22:01.339 --> 00:22:06.119
feel super safe right now. So we go inside and

00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.940
this whoever was working the cash register. Start

00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:12.359
talking to me like I'm his best friend in the

00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:14.660
world well i won't tell you something right now

00:22:14.660 --> 00:22:16.779
man we got that storm coming in and all that

00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:18.559
but i'll tell you what that trooper came in the

00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:20.940
other day and he just came in and he's just like

00:22:20.940 --> 00:22:22.759
tell me all this thing and i'm like hey man i

00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.460
know your wife is a bitch and i was like and

00:22:25.460 --> 00:22:27.700
he's telling me the story and i have no context

00:22:27.700 --> 00:22:30.420
i have no idea what he's talking about my friend

00:22:30.420 --> 00:22:31.980
was in his bathroom he comes out of the bathroom

00:22:31.980 --> 00:22:33.220
he's like maloney why you talking to this guy

00:22:33.220 --> 00:22:35.759
i'm like i'm not he's talking to me i don't even

00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:38.359
know this guy's name and he just like starts

00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:41.400
telling me stuff now mind you Storms were supposed

00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:42.980
to be moving in. We had checked the weather the

00:22:42.980 --> 00:22:44.980
day before. We're like, okay, we think most of

00:22:44.980 --> 00:22:46.599
the bad weather would be behind us. But for whatever

00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:49.680
reason, it caught up to us probably because we're

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:51.519
screwing around looking for gas stations and

00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:55.680
barns. And so it got like, when we went in, the

00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:57.920
sun was out. When he came out of the bathroom

00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:01.299
and we're going outside, it was dark. And this

00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:03.799
massive cloud is over the gas station, right?

00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.740
But before we step outside, the door to the gas

00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:10.640
station blows open. Big noise, and this big gust

00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:14.079
of wind comes in, and the guy behind the cash

00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:16.980
register starts laughing hysterically and goes,

00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:21.960
well, you're not in Kansas anymore, Toto. And

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:24.400
I look at Tom, I said, Tom, get me out of here.

00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:26.299
Well, we need to get gas. I said, then pump that

00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:29.839
thing as fast as you can. Let's go. So we got

00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:32.299
outside and he's pumping the gas. And so I step

00:23:32.299 --> 00:23:34.619
away. You like the little overhang that's over

00:23:34.619 --> 00:23:37.039
most gas stations. And I kind of walk out and

00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.519
I look up in the air and this massive black cloud

00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:45.279
is spinning right above our head. I said, Tom,

00:23:45.779 --> 00:23:49.180
he's like, yeah, you almost done? No, man. He's

00:23:49.180 --> 00:23:52.460
like, I'm like, pump that shit now dude as we

00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:54.940
so literally i'm sitting in the car and i'm like

00:23:54.940 --> 00:23:57.599
town i'm like let's go let's go let's go so finally

00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:00.240
he finishes up and the wind is picking up and

00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:02.079
we're pulling away and i'm looking at that i

00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.380
said look up he's like oh shit that that's what

00:24:04.380 --> 00:24:07.160
i was talking about so he just hits the gas and

00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:11.000
we floor it and we got out of there so yeah nebraska's

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.799
uh it's a it's a place to be It's a thing to

00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:18.180
witness. It was exciting. That's for certain,

00:24:18.259 --> 00:24:20.819
and I don't know what gas station I was at or

00:24:20.819 --> 00:24:24.980
who that young register guy was, but it was a

00:24:24.980 --> 00:24:27.380
memorable moment. We wish him the best. We do

00:24:27.380 --> 00:24:30.920
wish him the best. And, you know, for that trooper's

00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.779
wife, I just want to let you know, she's a bitch.

00:24:34.420 --> 00:24:36.660
Gotta keep that woman under control, my guy.

00:24:37.859 --> 00:24:46.920
At any rate. I guess we're on to our official

00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:49.339
dialogue 25 minutes into the show. We do this,

00:24:49.420 --> 00:24:53.359
though, sometimes, to be fair. Yeah. So there

00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:55.460
was a saying that my dad and other parents of

00:24:55.460 --> 00:24:57.920
the 80s and 90s used to use. And that was, if

00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:00.519
your friend walked off a bridge, would you too?

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:02.480
And of course, being a smart ass like I was,

00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.880
I was like, yeah. So. You know that's usually

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:09.319
that was the kind of the response of the quote

00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:11.579
like Somebody got in trouble and then you got

00:25:11.579 --> 00:25:13.579
in trouble because of association, right? You're

00:25:13.579 --> 00:25:15.200
just you're there and you just happen to get

00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.920
in trouble with them So as adult humans we tend

00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:20.380
to fall into this trap in many different ways

00:25:20.380 --> 00:25:23.500
I'm gonna use the World Cup as a perfect example

00:25:23.500 --> 00:25:27.519
So almost everyone sitting here at the bar. I

00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:32.299
was at the night that I wrote this show I guarantee

00:25:32.299 --> 00:25:34.019
you they can't name three players on the field

00:25:34.299 --> 00:25:39.140
Probably not even one. I would bet that they

00:25:39.140 --> 00:25:42.059
couldn't name three players in the entire field

00:25:42.059 --> 00:25:44.380
of teams, to be completely honest. But anyway,

00:25:45.019 --> 00:25:47.220
because they have a friend watching, now they're

00:25:47.220 --> 00:25:50.119
all in on it, and they have something to say,

00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:53.759
but they have no clue. None. Listening to people

00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:57.039
comment on the game, and once again, no clue.

00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:00.140
It's hilarious and slightly irritating to be

00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:01.380
completely honest, especially when they're right

00:26:01.380 --> 00:26:04.960
over your shoulder. Basically, they're following

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:07.579
their friend off the World Cup bridge, is exactly

00:26:07.579 --> 00:26:11.519
what they're doing. Now, I'm gonna say something

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:14.680
before I continue, because we have a lot of people

00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:17.099
from around the world in our country for these

00:26:17.099 --> 00:26:21.500
games. They're real fans, okay? Like the people

00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:23.980
from Scotland that invaded Boston and drank all

00:26:23.980 --> 00:26:28.099
their beer, and took over Fenway Park, and like,

00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:30.339
walked down the street playing their bagpipes,

00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:34.099
cool as hell. Cool cool cool. I love it, but

00:26:34.099 --> 00:26:37.579
they're fans. It is their sport. They watch it

00:26:37.579 --> 00:26:40.319
all the time They know all the players like it

00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:43.359
is their Super Bowl for many countries. This

00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:47.259
thing is their super right? Yeah, okay for Americans

00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:50.779
They normally don't watch soccer. This is true,

00:26:50.819 --> 00:26:52.799
and they certainly don't know the goddamn rules

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:55.720
Yeah, I know the rules because your sister played

00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:59.049
soccer Normally, I wouldn't be caught dead watching

00:26:59.049 --> 00:27:01.670
soccer. Yeah. But she got into it, so I'm like,

00:27:01.769 --> 00:27:04.829
oh, no, I got to be a soccer fan now. But I got

00:27:04.829 --> 00:27:08.950
into it. Yeah. So that was fine. But I was not

00:27:08.950 --> 00:27:10.230
going to be a fake fan. I'm not going to be,

00:27:10.230 --> 00:27:12.009
oh, I'm going to be a fire fan now that my daughter

00:27:12.009 --> 00:27:13.410
plays soccer. No, I'm going to watch her and

00:27:13.410 --> 00:27:14.910
be a fan of hers. Yeah. That's what I'm going

00:27:14.910 --> 00:27:19.369
to do. So anyway, whether it's a sporting event,

00:27:19.549 --> 00:27:22.349
a TV show, some random TikTok trend, if your

00:27:22.349 --> 00:27:25.150
friend or co -workers are on board, so are you.

00:27:25.190 --> 00:27:28.400
But why? I mean, that's just what is amazing

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:30.579
to me. So it's just once again, following your

00:27:30.579 --> 00:27:33.140
friends off the bridge as it pertains to these

00:27:33.140 --> 00:27:36.119
different things. So people often follow trends

00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:39.059
or events because humans are highly social creatures,

00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:41.559
largely. Paying attention to what others are

00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.140
doing, has historically provided advantages,

00:27:45.579 --> 00:27:48.339
helping people learn, cooperate, avoid danger,

00:27:48.940 --> 00:27:52.259
well. not in this case, always, or fit into groups.

00:27:52.900 --> 00:27:56.039
So some key reasonings behind this, right? So

00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:57.819
the first one probably social belonging, right?

00:27:57.940 --> 00:28:00.299
So most people want to feel connected to others

00:28:00.299 --> 00:28:02.859
participating in a popular trend or a discussion

00:28:02.859 --> 00:28:06.880
or an event, you know, or being unaware of something

00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:09.460
everyone else is talking about can sometimes

00:28:09.460 --> 00:28:12.720
make people feel left out. So they just kind

00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:15.220
of jump on board blindly. Doesn't matter. Yay,

00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.240
go Paraguay. Right. Social proof, so when many

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.619
appear interested in something, others often

00:28:20.619 --> 00:28:24.140
assume it has value. This psychological shortcut

00:28:24.140 --> 00:28:26.299
helps people make decisions without evaluating

00:28:26.299 --> 00:28:29.099
everything from scratch. That's like the key

00:28:29.099 --> 00:28:31.079
thing where you're following people off the bridge,

00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:33.460
right? So for example, like a crowded restaurant

00:28:33.460 --> 00:28:36.039
often seems more appealing than an empty one.

00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:39.680
Sure. Then there's curiosity, right? Humans are

00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:42.299
naturally curious about what captures widespread

00:28:42.299 --> 00:28:44.660
attention. If millions of people are discussing

00:28:44.660 --> 00:28:48.039
a topic, many wonder what makes it important

00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.579
or interesting. There is information efficiency.

00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:54.740
So what I mean by that is like following what

00:28:54.740 --> 00:28:58.980
others are already paying attention to can be

00:28:58.980 --> 00:29:01.539
an efficient way to discover new ideas or products

00:29:01.539 --> 00:29:04.400
or entertainment opportunities. Trends can act

00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.420
as a filter that highlights certain things from

00:29:07.420 --> 00:29:10.920
an overwhelming amount of information. There's

00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:13.980
emotional contagion. Now this is emotions that

00:29:13.980 --> 00:29:15.859
spread through groups like excitement or fear,

00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:20.359
outrage, enthusiasm. Look at MAG as a terrible

00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:23.059
example, but it's an example. Right. And hope

00:29:23.059 --> 00:29:26.660
that hope can all become amplified when shared

00:29:26.660 --> 00:29:28.799
by many people. This is especially noticeable

00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:31.779
during major events, viral moments, financial

00:29:31.779 --> 00:29:34.839
bubbles, social movements. Then there's identity

00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:38.000
and self -expression. So you have people sometimes

00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.019
adopt trends and not because they are blindly

00:29:41.019 --> 00:29:44.789
following others. Not always, but. But because

00:29:44.789 --> 00:29:46.609
those trends align with their values, interests,

00:29:46.630 --> 00:29:48.910
or desired identity. A trend can become a way

00:29:48.910 --> 00:29:51.990
of signaling who someone is or what community

00:29:51.990 --> 00:29:55.789
they want to belong to. And then lastly, modern

00:29:55.789 --> 00:29:58.769
media amplification. That's a big one. Social

00:29:58.769 --> 00:30:01.150
media platforms often promote content that is

00:30:01.150 --> 00:30:04.049
already gaining attention. This creates feedback

00:30:04.049 --> 00:30:07.410
loops where popular topics become even more visible,

00:30:07.789 --> 00:30:10.670
making trends spread faster than in the past.

00:30:11.150 --> 00:30:14.119
Now... That said, not everyone follows trends

00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:17.059
to the same degree. Some people are more independent

00:30:17.059 --> 00:30:21.559
-minded, skeptical, they focus on niche interests.

00:30:22.059 --> 00:30:25.599
I think that is where I fall in, and I know I'm

00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:28.519
maybe in the minority on this. Others enjoy being

00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:31.519
part of collective experiences, following trends

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:35.279
that is not necessarily irrational. It can be

00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:38.619
a useful social strategy, but it can also lead

00:30:38.619 --> 00:30:41.359
to herd behavior. when people stop evaluating

00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:44.779
things critically and just simply follow the

00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:47.779
crowd. Yeah. Which is what I observed that night.

00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:51.180
And it became highly irritating to me because,

00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:54.380
once again, not so much that those Scottish fans

00:30:54.380 --> 00:30:57.740
came or Brazilian fans or whatever, and they

00:30:57.740 --> 00:31:00.900
come here and they are fans. This is their Super

00:31:00.900 --> 00:31:03.420
Bowl. This is their team. They will follow them

00:31:03.420 --> 00:31:06.119
to the end of the earth if it involves a trophy,

00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:11.599
a prize of some sort. But for Americans, I don't

00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:15.240
get it. It begs the question, and I've thought

00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:18.740
this since the plan was put in place to host

00:31:18.740 --> 00:31:21.680
here, however many years ago that was started,

00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:25.319
because I think they were planning on hosting

00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:27.819
the World Cup. Going back, the planning started

00:31:27.819 --> 00:31:29.960
10 some odd years ago. It's been a while, yeah.

00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:35.059
And in my mind, I'm like, I kind of get why,

00:31:35.059 --> 00:31:39.390
like North America, Three major countries all

00:31:39.390 --> 00:31:41.650
have cities and venues that can host the World

00:31:41.650 --> 00:31:44.589
Cup. I get it. But if you were to take this World

00:31:44.589 --> 00:31:48.670
Cup and host it in Europe or South America somewhere,

00:31:49.329 --> 00:31:52.589
would any of the American fans be watching or

00:31:52.589 --> 00:31:55.730
caring as they do? I don't think so. I think

00:31:55.730 --> 00:31:58.470
it would be like any other World Cup where like,

00:31:58.569 --> 00:32:00.890
oh, Argentina won. And then you're like, oh,

00:32:00.890 --> 00:32:02.650
OK. Yeah, I probably could have guessed that.

00:32:02.650 --> 00:32:06.230
Cool. Right. Is it just the fact it's being hosted?

00:32:06.619 --> 00:32:11.700
in North America that is causing this heightened

00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:15.160
appreciation and American viewership. It's a

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:17.680
possibility. I think so. And then also, like,

00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:21.380
this almost kind of loops back around to bandwagoning

00:32:21.380 --> 00:32:25.240
as a concept. Sure. Where, I mean, all of a sudden,

00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:28.980
over the last five, six years, wow, there's so

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:31.799
many Kansas City Chiefs fans. That's so strange

00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:34.759
that that happened. Very weird. That herd mentality.

00:32:34.940 --> 00:32:38.140
Right. And it's super easy to just bandwagon

00:32:38.140 --> 00:32:40.200
and be like, oh, I like that team. My team is

00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:43.099
winning. It's like, OK, did you last year? No?

00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:46.980
OK. And I find that strange. But it's bandwagoning

00:32:46.980 --> 00:32:50.039
for a sport. Right. Correct. You know? Correct.

00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:54.119
Like, how many of these fans watching these games

00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:59.140
over the last week or so have watched a match

00:32:59.140 --> 00:33:02.460
of soccer in the last five years? Right. I would

00:33:02.460 --> 00:33:04.880
beg. You know, it's like sometimes you flip on

00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:06.819
the TV, there's Premier League or something on,

00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:08.859
it's like, oh, interesting. But do you watch

00:33:08.859 --> 00:33:12.380
it? Really? Yeah. So I totally see what you're

00:33:12.380 --> 00:33:16.160
saying. I don't know if there's any harm to it,

00:33:16.259 --> 00:33:19.259
you know, a sudden appreciation for something.

00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:21.799
I don't know if there's any harm to it. To me,

00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:23.740
I don't think it's a bad thing, but it does beg

00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:29.079
the question of like, is this newfound respect

00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:31.319
and appreciation for soccer going to stick around?

00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:33.880
After the World Cup concludes right I'm gonna

00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:37.680
say no, I I don't I don't think so I think there

00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.500
are parts of this country where soccer is important

00:33:40.500 --> 00:33:43.180
I think the Pacific Northwest soccer tends to

00:33:43.180 --> 00:33:46.900
be a sport that people watch and support You

00:33:46.900 --> 00:33:48.920
know, you see games between like Seattle and

00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:50.839
Portland when they play each other It's like

00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:54.440
the Packers Bears of soccer right in our country

00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:56.480
and then that's like people get riled up for

00:33:56.480 --> 00:34:00.000
that but like if Kansas City played Dallas or

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:04.940
if Miami played Cleveland in soccer, would most

00:34:04.940 --> 00:34:07.579
of this country give two shits? Right. No, because

00:34:07.579 --> 00:34:10.099
ESPN won't even talk about it. Yeah. So the answer

00:34:10.099 --> 00:34:13.760
is no. But the World Cup comes here and it just

00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:17.659
it just changes. It's like, oh, Mon, did you

00:34:17.659 --> 00:34:20.260
see that? No, I know they're a country of what

00:34:20.260 --> 00:34:23.059
they do. Right. They violate a treaty or something.

00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:27.369
Oh, no, they tied Spain. They tied them to what?

00:34:28.630 --> 00:34:31.949
For me, once again, it's like, look, I'm a sports

00:34:31.949 --> 00:34:35.150
guy. And so if the World Cup gets to a Final

00:34:35.150 --> 00:34:38.489
Four team, and one of them is a huge surprise,

00:34:38.969 --> 00:34:41.510
I will be piqued. My interest will be piqued.

00:34:44.449 --> 00:34:48.170
If Kuwait is about to take out Brazil, OK, that

00:34:48.170 --> 00:34:51.610
sounds interesting to me. But for the most part,

00:34:51.789 --> 00:34:56.460
I don't. It's always Brazil, Argentina, Spain,

00:34:57.179 --> 00:35:00.059
Germany, France. It's like, it's always those

00:35:00.059 --> 00:35:02.260
teams. And so it's like, and nothing against

00:35:02.260 --> 00:35:05.000
that. They're great at that. Good for them. But

00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:07.980
like, we just know what we know. And it's kind

00:35:07.980 --> 00:35:12.360
of always the same thing. And so for me, it's

00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:14.980
like, I don't know the players. I don't care.

00:35:15.099 --> 00:35:17.840
It's nothing personal. Hey, you're a soccer fan?

00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:20.900
Great. Enjoy these few weeks or whatever. But...

00:35:20.940 --> 00:35:23.539
I just find it super interesting, especially

00:35:23.539 --> 00:35:26.239
people that normally aren't big sports people.

00:35:26.260 --> 00:35:28.079
And now they're all like, oh, did you see that?

00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:32.159
And once again, I'm a sports guy. So I'd choose

00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:34.159
not to be a big fan of soccer, but I know the

00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:36.719
game. If I were to watch a game, I'd understand

00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:38.360
the rules and be able to watch it. Right. You

00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:41.460
can see a compilation of crazy saves made over

00:35:41.460 --> 00:35:44.619
the weekend. And that's cool. That's cool athleticism,

00:35:44.619 --> 00:35:48.059
and it's a cool compilation to watch. But am

00:35:48.059 --> 00:35:51.269
I going to sit down for the... for the length

00:35:51.269 --> 00:35:54.170
of the game? I don't think so. Right. And you

00:35:54.170 --> 00:35:56.610
get these people commenting like they followed

00:35:56.610 --> 00:35:59.369
the sport for years. Right. And you're sitting

00:35:59.369 --> 00:36:03.690
there going, no, that's not right, actually.

00:36:04.349 --> 00:36:06.210
You know, oh my god, I can't believe blah, blah,

00:36:06.250 --> 00:36:08.690
blah. I don't understand what's happening. Well,

00:36:09.030 --> 00:36:12.230
if one were a soccer fan, you would know this,

00:36:12.230 --> 00:36:15.170
that, or the other. And it's just like that kind

00:36:15.170 --> 00:36:19.340
of stuff. it's it's an irritant to me because

00:36:19.340 --> 00:36:21.460
you're clearly not a fan you're following because

00:36:21.460 --> 00:36:23.659
other people are following you're jumping off

00:36:23.659 --> 00:36:26.420
the bridge and it's like look that's completely

00:36:26.420 --> 00:36:29.880
fine but don't don't like jump both feet in the

00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:32.019
pool you don't know what you're talking about

00:36:32.019 --> 00:36:34.260
and you're just out and you're having a good

00:36:34.260 --> 00:36:36.179
time and you're drinking and you're just doing

00:36:36.179 --> 00:36:38.480
it to do it because everybody else is doing it

00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:42.909
i'm just gonna say don't I'm just gonna say don't.

00:36:43.090 --> 00:36:44.730
You know, yeah, right now am I standing on my

00:36:44.730 --> 00:36:46.110
lawn telling the kids to get off my damn lawn?

00:36:46.170 --> 00:36:50.369
I am. Old man shouts at clouds or whatever. I

00:36:50.369 --> 00:36:53.230
am. Fuck those clouds. I pretty much am. But

00:36:53.230 --> 00:36:55.829
it's just kind of an irritant to me. It's like,

00:36:56.030 --> 00:36:58.650
look, you know, for me, like if Ireland were

00:36:58.650 --> 00:37:02.389
in it, would I kind of be like, yay, go Ireland.

00:37:03.489 --> 00:37:05.469
Probably. Yeah. But I probably wouldn't watch

00:37:05.469 --> 00:37:07.210
the whole game. I wouldn't schedule to go out

00:37:07.210 --> 00:37:10.489
and watch the game. Yeah. But it's just all of

00:37:10.489 --> 00:37:12.489
these quote -unquote newfound soccer players

00:37:12.489 --> 00:37:15.670
when this thing leaves town No one will give

00:37:15.670 --> 00:37:18.789
two shits about soccer. Yeah, I guarantee it

00:37:18.789 --> 00:37:22.210
temporary fixation versus actual new passion,

00:37:22.230 --> 00:37:24.630
right? How many people are jumping off the bridge

00:37:24.630 --> 00:37:28.150
into a temporary fixation a lot right now? Yeah

00:37:28.150 --> 00:37:31.269
a lot right now and that's not to say like if

00:37:31.269 --> 00:37:34.590
if the World Cup coming to the US Has brought

00:37:34.590 --> 00:37:36.550
you passion and watching the game of soccer.

00:37:36.710 --> 00:37:40.440
That's awesome. Great Keep it up! But if it's

00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:42.559
a temporary fixation and all of a sudden it's

00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:45.420
become your lifestyle, that makes you a bandwagoner.

00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:48.320
Oh, for sure. And trust me, it's just not soccer.

00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:50.900
It happens to be going on right now. So I make

00:37:50.900 --> 00:37:53.840
this point with that. But you can you can make

00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:56.219
this same exact argument for something like the

00:37:56.219 --> 00:37:58.059
Super Bowl, right? And you're at a Super Bowl

00:37:58.059 --> 00:38:01.340
party and the Bears are down by six and they,

00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:04.579
you know, they're having like a 50 yard drive.

00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:06.519
It's the fourth quarter. There's only a couple

00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:09.059
of minutes left. You're on the edge of your seat.

00:38:09.210 --> 00:38:10.869
And the person next to you is like, oh my God,

00:38:11.190 --> 00:38:13.570
these nachos are amazing. And you're just like,

00:38:14.010 --> 00:38:15.809
you're about to get knocked out right now. You

00:38:15.809 --> 00:38:19.090
need to leave this home. You are clearly here

00:38:19.090 --> 00:38:21.909
for the nachos and the commercials. And I don't

00:38:21.909 --> 00:38:25.050
have time for you right now. Like, it's kind

00:38:25.050 --> 00:38:30.269
of the same thing. I hear that. Yeah. So, yeah,

00:38:30.409 --> 00:38:32.130
I'm on my lawn. I mean, I'll let the kids get

00:38:32.130 --> 00:38:34.570
off my lawn. But in the same sense, it's kind

00:38:34.570 --> 00:38:36.809
of like I say it also from the perspective of

00:38:36.809 --> 00:38:39.050
a sports fan, where it just bothers me these

00:38:39.050 --> 00:38:41.389
non -sports people are all of a sudden like Johnny

00:38:41.389 --> 00:38:45.130
Soccer now. And it's like, you know, sit there

00:38:45.130 --> 00:38:46.550
and watch it. You want to watch it? Fine. You

00:38:46.550 --> 00:38:48.250
want to be interested in what's going on? Us

00:38:48.250 --> 00:38:50.309
is interesting. I've never caught one. Cool.

00:38:50.769 --> 00:38:52.909
But don't sit there and be so boisterous and

00:38:52.909 --> 00:38:56.369
so loud. Like... Oh, yes, I was born in Brazil.

00:38:56.610 --> 00:38:59.190
I know everything there is to know. No, you weren't.

00:38:59.250 --> 00:39:00.949
No, you weren't. You were born in Topeka, brother.

00:39:01.210 --> 00:39:03.969
You were born in Topeka, and you know football

00:39:03.969 --> 00:39:06.909
and corn, and you should shut up. Right. That's

00:39:06.909 --> 00:39:09.710
what I feel. But at any rate, Americans just

00:39:09.710 --> 00:39:12.590
amuse me in all the worst possible ways, I suppose.

00:39:13.269 --> 00:39:17.630
But yeah, that's all I got. Yeah. Not to gatekeep.

00:39:18.130 --> 00:39:22.630
But. But. But it's a thing. It's a thing. It

00:39:22.630 --> 00:39:24.030
doesn't keep me up at night, but it makes me

00:39:24.030 --> 00:39:26.989
kind of cranky. Sure. It riles me up. Yeah. Anyway,

00:39:27.530 --> 00:39:29.690
we'll be back in a minute. All right, we're back,

00:39:29.829 --> 00:39:33.110
everybody. Time for Carpe Diem. You find beautiful

00:39:33.110 --> 00:39:35.409
people send us your DMs and we read them on the

00:39:35.409 --> 00:39:38.150
air. And if they are in the form of a question,

00:39:38.510 --> 00:39:43.400
we will. We might. We might answer. We have the

00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:46.260
ability to. This is true. For sure. We know we're

00:39:46.260 --> 00:39:48.500
capable. Sometimes we just have to be motivated

00:39:48.500 --> 00:39:51.400
to do so. Yes. Now how would someone motivate

00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:55.019
you? Well. Well. Hey, can I shake your hand?

00:39:55.199 --> 00:39:58.280
You can. I actually, I would say no. Probably

00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:01.739
not enough. I would say no, you can't. Not with

00:40:01.739 --> 00:40:06.320
an empty hand. Oh, I see. So, shake someone's

00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:09.219
hand, that'd be fine. But if someone hits something

00:40:09.219 --> 00:40:11.980
green in their hand by chance. Or has a blue

00:40:11.980 --> 00:40:17.079
strip on it. Mm -hmm. That could very well get

00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:19.420
the job done. My friend Benjamin Franklin is

00:40:19.420 --> 00:40:23.460
a persuasive man. Yeah, when Benny asks questions.

00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:26.820
will answer. Benny gets answers. He gets answers.

00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:30.539
It's as simple as that. So we do have a lineup

00:40:30.539 --> 00:40:34.059
of questions and comments here today from you

00:40:34.059 --> 00:40:38.079
fine, beautiful people. I have one from at Johnny

00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:43.000
KNXVLLE. Oh, interesting. Johnny Knoxville. He

00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:48.420
says, for sale, $250 American flag blue paint

00:40:48.420 --> 00:40:53.889
chunk. This is your chance to own a part of history.

00:40:54.349 --> 00:40:57.230
Celebrate our 250th anniversary with a piece

00:40:57.230 --> 00:41:00.230
of latex paint, freshly retrieved from the green

00:41:00.230 --> 00:41:02.869
waters of the Lincoln Memorial Reflective Pool

00:41:02.869 --> 00:41:07.750
in Washington, DC, valued at 14 million taxpayer

00:41:07.750 --> 00:41:12.530
dollars. Yeah. Ain't that some shit? It's...

00:41:12.670 --> 00:41:17.630
It is not a surprise. No. It is not a surprise.

00:41:18.329 --> 00:41:21.190
No, not at all. Everything this guy touches turns

00:41:21.190 --> 00:41:24.510
into a green sludgy pool. Right. So it really

00:41:24.510 --> 00:41:26.849
is kind of a metaphor for his entire presidency.

00:41:27.590 --> 00:41:32.650
Yeah, I'm not sure, you know, famous child rapist

00:41:32.650 --> 00:41:36.070
Donald Trump knows anything about reflective

00:41:36.070 --> 00:41:40.070
pools. So I'm not sure why... First of all, he

00:41:40.070 --> 00:41:42.530
was elected but secondly why anyone would agree

00:41:42.530 --> 00:41:46.730
to paint the reflective pool What a stupid idea.

00:41:47.130 --> 00:41:51.050
Uh, I know right like I don't like none of it

00:41:51.050 --> 00:41:55.769
made sense. No We want it to look more blue You

00:41:55.769 --> 00:41:59.269
don't have to right. I just work on the filtration

00:41:59.269 --> 00:42:02.710
system improve that You know the water seeps

00:42:02.710 --> 00:42:05.010
down to the rock. It gets filled back up You

00:42:05.010 --> 00:42:06.710
want it to look blue put a little blue dye in

00:42:06.710 --> 00:42:09.550
there Even even then I don't think anyone was

00:42:09.550 --> 00:42:13.190
asking for that No, no, but you know who knows

00:42:13.190 --> 00:42:15.530
it's it's kind of like if he really wanted a

00:42:15.530 --> 00:42:17.929
green sludgy looking thing He should just got

00:42:17.929 --> 00:42:19.650
a hold of the people in Chicago turn the river

00:42:19.650 --> 00:42:23.070
green once a year. Yeah We could help you out

00:42:23.070 --> 00:42:25.690
with that, you know had a boat out there boom

00:42:25.690 --> 00:42:33.230
done in ten minutes At Ant Man 9 Donald Trump

00:42:33.230 --> 00:42:38.059
repeats history surrending at Versailles LOL.

00:42:38.059 --> 00:42:40.920
I did hear about that. And I was like, wow, that's

00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:43.840
insane. And he probably has no idea. Oh, no.

00:42:43.900 --> 00:42:47.400
He has no clue at all. No clue. But I'm sure

00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:50.679
the French did. Yeah. I mean, everyone was giving

00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:55.219
Barack Obama shit when, what, I think the offer

00:42:55.219 --> 00:42:58.980
was we free up 400 million of their own dollars,

00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:01.619
I believe. Right. Yes. And now, what, we're giving

00:43:01.619 --> 00:43:04.460
them 300 billion of our dollars? Billion. Yes.

00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:08.599

special We're so lucky to oh god. I can't even

00:43:13.699 --> 00:43:18.039
fake that Pedophile in chief burns five or three

00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:19.800
hundred billion dollars three hundred billion

00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:25.320
dollars takes bath in green sludgy pool at AI

00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:28.960
Mackenzie I chose carrot cake for my birthday,

00:43:28.980 --> 00:43:32.219
and I got judged like I committed a crime carrot

00:43:32.219 --> 00:43:35.889
cake people show yourself I'm a carrot cake enjoyer.

00:43:36.070 --> 00:43:39.070
I like carrot cake. Absolutely. Yeah, I I am

00:43:39.070 --> 00:43:42.949
though I have discovered I am a hater of cooked

00:43:42.949 --> 00:43:46.469
carrots. I am too It's different agree if they're

00:43:46.469 --> 00:43:48.809
like baked in a cake or even if they're just

00:43:48.809 --> 00:43:51.670
like fresh carrots baby carrots, whatever Yeah,

00:43:51.989 --> 00:43:54.469
cooked carrots disgust me. They're gross It's

00:43:54.469 --> 00:43:58.469
like cloyingly sweet and the taste is just foul

00:43:58.469 --> 00:44:03.559
to me. But yeah a carrot cake count me in I agree

00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:04.960
a hundred percent. Cream cheese frosting? Get

00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:07.820
real. Oh, I love it. It's so good. But yeah,

00:44:07.820 --> 00:44:11.460
I'm with you on that cooked carrot thing. It's

00:44:11.460 --> 00:44:13.460
just gross. I can't do it. I can't do sweet potatoes

00:44:13.460 --> 00:44:16.000
either for the same reason. It's like strangely

00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:18.940
sweet and it tastes bad. Right. It's like, why

00:44:18.940 --> 00:44:21.760
is my potato sweet? Right. I don't know. Let

00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:25.800
it be a potato. Exactly. Yeah. I agree with that.

00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:31.679
This one is from May the Schwartz be with you.

00:44:32.679 --> 00:44:35.539
What was more embarrassing, Trump signing surrender

00:44:35.539 --> 00:44:37.860
papers at Versailles or the fact he couldn't

00:44:37.860 --> 00:44:40.860
clasp the Medal of Honor around the serviceman's

00:44:40.860 --> 00:44:45.920
neck? What a putz. Oh man, you're asking what's

00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:49.340
more embarrassing. Right. Just him in general.

00:44:49.820 --> 00:44:52.199
Yeah, the 70 -some -odd million people that voted

00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:54.139
for him, I think, is the most embarrassing part.

00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:57.619
Right. Yeah, I think that is true. Yeah. For

00:44:57.619 --> 00:45:01.360
certain. Yeah, that cracks me up. It's just like...

00:45:01.480 --> 00:45:03.659
you know he's like he's doing it around and like

00:45:03.659 --> 00:45:06.880
he literally is like there's and i there's just

00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:09.000
a little metal clasp and you just clasp it and

00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:12.119
then it like biden did one and like it took him

00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:14.780
two seconds he's like okay this is clasp there

00:45:14.780 --> 00:45:16.960
you go yeah straighten it out for the guy and

00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:19.219
turn the metal the right way there you go you

00:45:19.219 --> 00:45:25.400
know whereas trump's like nope nope nope pulls

00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:28.519
it like where he's choking the dude so he can

00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:34.599
tie it All right, what an asshole. Just unbelievable.

00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:38.599
Oh, man. Just unbelievable. It's just, you have

00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:40.719
to laugh, otherwise you just cry all the time.

00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:44.820
Yeah. The last one I've got here from our friend

00:45:44.820 --> 00:45:48.239
at Stoner Stanley 420. It's a very, very short

00:45:48.239 --> 00:45:52.019
one today. Oh, okay. Hey, Momo and Alan, did

00:45:52.019 --> 00:45:57.480
you see that thing? I did. I wonder if he saw

00:45:57.480 --> 00:46:02.539
a World Cup game. Maybe. I think I found my new

00:46:02.539 --> 00:46:06.380
favorite thing, guys. This bouncy ball, man.

00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:11.619
They never touch it, though. They come pick it

00:46:11.619 --> 00:46:15.340
with the hands and they just choose not to. This

00:46:15.340 --> 00:46:19.480
bouncy ball with their feet is silly. So I'm

00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:21.940
guessing no, I've not seen no I haven't seen

00:46:21.940 --> 00:46:25.199
it Stanley. I don't I mean I've seen many things

00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:27.619
I don't know if it's the thing you're talking

00:46:27.619 --> 00:46:29.920
about. This is true. It could be anything. It

00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:31.800
could be anything He could be looking up at the

00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:36.099
moon. That is true. Like it's such it's the now.

00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:40.340
Yeah thing It's a thing. Yeah, so actually I

00:46:40.340 --> 00:46:42.980
could even say yes and not be wrong. This is

00:46:42.980 --> 00:46:45.440
true We have seen the thing. Yeah, I've seen

00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:47.610
lots of things. You're right Awesome stoner.

00:46:47.670 --> 00:46:49.630
You're right and you're welcome. Yeah, right

00:46:49.630 --> 00:46:52.269
exactly Well that concludes mine for this week.

00:46:52.289 --> 00:46:55.969
What do you got it? I got a DM here from Peter

00:46:55.969 --> 00:47:01.309
Peterson if I offered you $100 ,000 to change

00:47:01.309 --> 00:47:04.570
your first name to something distinct and never

00:47:04.570 --> 00:47:08.730
change it back Would you do it Wow? I think that

00:47:08.730 --> 00:47:12.710
would cause trouble for my online branding probably

00:47:12.710 --> 00:47:15.130
my YouTube channels Aidan spelled the right way

00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:18.780
So if I change my name, I mean granted $100 ,000

00:47:18.780 --> 00:47:21.679
is a lot of fucking money sure, but I would literally

00:47:21.679 --> 00:47:25.539
have to rebrand to Anything else because it would

00:47:25.539 --> 00:47:30.719
no longer be my name Do I get to choose? Change

00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:33.559
your first name to something distinct is what

00:47:33.559 --> 00:47:35.719
it says. Okay, so I guess I couldn't just be

00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:38.599
like Aiden with a Y I don't have to be distinct

00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:42.780
from so if I decide to change my mind to pizza

00:47:42.780 --> 00:47:46.329
bear booty First name all one word pizza beer

00:47:46.329 --> 00:47:50.329

00:47:58.130 --> 00:48:01.070
hundred grand. I would do I would change my name

00:48:01.070 --> 00:48:04.110

00:48:04.110 --> 00:48:06.269

00:48:27.070 --> 00:48:33.210
I'm 23. I'm 23. This guy's broken. So I would

00:48:33.210 --> 00:48:36.070
take it. I would do something silly. Yeah. because

00:48:36.070 --> 00:48:38.929
I already thought of a workaround. I can just

00:48:38.929 --> 00:48:43.469
go by my middle name. You absolutely can. Gotta

00:48:43.469 --> 00:48:46.789
think the long game. That's right. Gotta outsmart

00:48:46.789 --> 00:48:49.590
the person asking the question. I got a DM here

00:48:49.590 --> 00:48:54.610
from buzzy1996. What is the worst booze you've

00:48:54.610 --> 00:49:01.230
ever tried? Okay, there's a few on here. Now,

00:49:01.650 --> 00:49:05.969
this is almost like with an asterisk. I'm with

00:49:05.969 --> 00:49:10.849
the full understanding that Malort is a chemical

00:49:10.849 --> 00:49:14.250
cleaner. I fully understand that. There's something

00:49:14.250 --> 00:49:16.429
charming about it. But there's something charming,

00:49:16.570 --> 00:49:19.409
there's something very Chicago about it, and

00:49:19.409 --> 00:49:21.969
I can stomach it and I can do that in old style

00:49:21.969 --> 00:49:24.369
and give you that Chicago handshake proudly.

00:49:24.829 --> 00:49:29.409
I have no issue with it. Do I fully realize that

00:49:29.409 --> 00:49:32.730
it is like sucking on your carpet? Yes, I know.

00:49:33.019 --> 00:49:36.659
I have tried Malort multiple times. Never once

00:49:36.659 --> 00:49:38.900
has it hit my tongue and I thought, wow, I dislike

00:49:38.900 --> 00:49:42.360
that. It's just like, wow, that's different.

00:49:42.699 --> 00:49:45.380
I've had it and not chased it. Yeah. It's a Malort,

00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:49.599
baby. It's Malort. So I put an asterisk by that

00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:53.280
one. What I will come out and say, there is a

00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:57.019
collective of alcohols that I do find nasty.

00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:01.119
Sambuca is one of them. Jägermeister is another.

00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:08.119
Hager's a unique one, man. Yeah. And Goldschlager.

00:50:08.460 --> 00:50:11.440
Because Goldschlager's just weird. I'm happy

00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:13.300
I've never tried that. Like, I've seen it, and

00:50:13.300 --> 00:50:14.860
I'm like, I feel like I only hear bad things

00:50:14.860 --> 00:50:18.300
about that. Yeah, and I'm not a tequila guy,

00:50:18.360 --> 00:50:21.159
although... That was gonna be... Yeah, go ahead.

00:50:21.260 --> 00:50:23.880
No, I was just gonna say quickly that my friend

00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:27.139
is a bartender, and she is in this speakeasy

00:50:27.139 --> 00:50:30.619
at this fancy hotel in Valparaiso, Indiana. And...

00:50:30.980 --> 00:50:34.780
She made this drink and it's tequila based, right?

00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:37.260
So she looked at me the first time I went up

00:50:37.260 --> 00:50:38.679
there. She was like, I do you want a beer? I'm

00:50:38.679 --> 00:50:41.179
like, I'm in your spot, man. What drink did you

00:50:41.179 --> 00:50:42.960
create? She's like, I created that one and it's

00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:44.519
made with tequila. I'm like, okay, I'll try it.

00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:46.000
She's like, oh, you're not tequila guy. I'm like,

00:50:46.420 --> 00:50:48.219
it's your drink. I want to try your drink. And

00:50:48.219 --> 00:50:50.480
it was really great. It was really, really, really

00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:52.760
good. Now that being said, if someone offered

00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:56.280
me a shot of tequila, and it was side by side

00:50:56.280 --> 00:50:57.940
with Malart, I would take the Malart. Yeah. Oh,

00:50:57.940 --> 00:51:00.260
I would too. That was gonna be like any tequila

00:51:00.260 --> 00:51:02.559
for me. I just don't like it. It's the nastiest

00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:04.739
shit I've ever tried. Yeah. Like that's the only

00:51:04.739 --> 00:51:07.679
time I'll gag taking a shot if it's tequila.

00:51:08.380 --> 00:51:10.619
So tequila would be up there. I don't like sake.

00:51:11.199 --> 00:51:15.300
I think rice wine is disgusting. Yeah. Definitely

00:51:15.300 --> 00:51:18.719
not for my palate. And then I remember taking,

00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:22.059
this was not a bright decision, but I remember

00:51:22.059 --> 00:51:25.179
taking a shot. of this little substance called

00:51:25.179 --> 00:51:29.360
Spiritus. I was going to mention that. Spiritus

00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:33.739
is akin to Everclear, where it is almost 100

00:51:33.739 --> 00:51:38.780
% ethanol. It's like 96, 95, 96 % ethanol. You

00:51:38.780 --> 00:51:40.760
can almost get your car to turn over to it. Oh,

00:51:40.800 --> 00:51:44.360
yeah. People have, oh, yeah. I think I watched

00:51:44.360 --> 00:51:46.860
a video once of someone almost, or like getting

00:51:46.860 --> 00:51:50.579
it to putter. To putter, yeah. On Spiritus. It

00:51:50.579 --> 00:51:55.599
was not... disgusting. It was mostly flavorless,

00:51:55.619 --> 00:51:58.219
but it burnt. Oh, yeah. It burnt. Like, I felt

00:51:58.219 --> 00:51:59.940
the warmth all the way down into my stomach.

00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:02.059
I was like, oh, I'm never gonna do that again.

00:52:02.219 --> 00:52:05.099
Yeah. But yeah, I don't recommend that experience

00:52:05.099 --> 00:52:06.800
for anybody. I know there's people when they

00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:09.320
do shots of spiritus that they'll put a little

00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:11.579
bit of lemon or lime juice in it, and that makes

00:52:11.579 --> 00:52:16.099
it very palatable. But straight up, that or 151?

00:52:16.099 --> 00:52:18.639
That's a tough sell. Yeah. That's a tough sell,

00:52:18.659 --> 00:52:20.500
yeah. It is a tough one. There have been a couple

00:52:20.500 --> 00:52:23.380
beers I've tried where I'm like, I would take

00:52:23.380 --> 00:52:26.920
almost anything over this. Yeah. Where it just

00:52:26.920 --> 00:52:29.820
it tastes yucky. Like there's one called Champagne

00:52:29.820 --> 00:52:34.039
Velvet. I've tried before. I believe it's brewed

00:52:34.039 --> 00:52:36.599
here in Indiana. And I love supporting micro

00:52:36.599 --> 00:52:42.019
breweries and local breweries. But goddamn, that

00:52:42.019 --> 00:52:45.480
was not good. Very much not good. There is a

00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:49.699
beer when it's not cold. I would drink almost

00:52:49.699 --> 00:52:52.800
anything else on the planet. A lukewarm old style

00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:58.659
is nasty. Oh no. It is gross. I mean, a cold

00:52:58.659 --> 00:53:02.960
old style is barely okay. Yeah. Barely okay.

00:53:03.599 --> 00:53:06.760
But like a room temperature old style is nasty.

00:53:07.230 --> 00:53:10.949
I know there are places overseas in Europe where

00:53:10.949 --> 00:53:13.750
beers served at room temperature. Most beers

00:53:13.750 --> 00:53:15.610
are served. I believe in England. I think they

00:53:15.610 --> 00:53:17.809
do like you go to the bar and the beer you get

00:53:17.809 --> 00:53:20.670
on tap is room tap. Yeah. Yeah. No thank you.

00:53:21.469 --> 00:53:24.010
No thank you. Yeah. Couldn't do that. Although

00:53:24.010 --> 00:53:27.389
a stout I can almost have warmer. It does not

00:53:27.389 --> 00:53:30.110
have to be cold cold. But like if I'm having

00:53:30.110 --> 00:53:32.809
a a Bud Light, a Miller Light, a Bush Light,

00:53:32.949 --> 00:53:35.369
any sort of light beer. That's gotta be cold.

00:53:35.409 --> 00:53:38.869
Yeah. Has to be. Otherwise it's foul. Yep. I

00:53:38.869 --> 00:53:41.349
got one more DM here. My last one comes from

00:53:41.349 --> 00:53:45.469
Broth of Soup. What are some of your favorite

00:53:45.469 --> 00:53:51.369
smells? A smell, huh? Coffee first thing in the

00:53:51.369 --> 00:53:53.889
morning. Brewing. Oh, hell yeah. That's a good

00:53:53.889 --> 00:53:57.309
one. Also in the morning, someone like cooking

00:53:57.309 --> 00:54:01.079
bacon. Yeah. Is like... ladies i know sometimes

00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:03.599
you go and you spend all this money on perfumes

00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:06.840
and whatnot if if you if you cook some bacon

00:54:06.840 --> 00:54:10.539
and rub that bacon on your neck dudes on your

00:54:10.539 --> 00:54:12.639
shit that's all i'm gonna say if you are wearing

00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:18.360
that as some sort of enticement pheromonal you

00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:21.340
know invisible finger like come here mister guy

00:54:21.340 --> 00:54:24.239
you know whatever just rub that bacon on yeah

00:54:24.239 --> 00:54:26.360
that's that's all i'm saying like dudes will

00:54:26.360 --> 00:54:28.989
be like yo what up Kind of smell like a bacon

00:54:28.989 --> 00:54:33.289
cheeseburger and I'm into this right now. There's

00:54:33.289 --> 00:54:36.389
nothing like being like buzzed and then the smell

00:54:36.389 --> 00:54:40.150
of someone bringing you a crave case of whiteys.

00:54:40.630 --> 00:54:45.409
Oh my god. We did that at a wedding once. I think

00:54:45.409 --> 00:54:47.530
it might have been my friend's brother. He got

00:54:47.530 --> 00:54:50.769
married and for whatever reason like around midnight

00:54:50.769 --> 00:54:53.880
that's usually Like as it approaches the late

00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:55.599
hours, that's kind of the cue for all the old

00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:57.840
people to go home and for all the young people

00:54:57.840 --> 00:55:00.539
to like turn it up and then the music gets louder

00:55:00.539 --> 00:55:02.300
and faster and everybody's like partying because

00:55:02.300 --> 00:55:03.880
now everybody's really buzzed and everything.

00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:06.719
Right. But at that point, you know, there's no

00:55:06.719 --> 00:55:09.380
more food. The cake's been cut and everybody's

00:55:09.380 --> 00:55:11.119
like, man, we could use something to soak all

00:55:11.119 --> 00:55:13.559
this stuff up. So we went out to a white cast

00:55:13.559 --> 00:55:15.739
and we got two crave cases. Oh, it's huge. And

00:55:15.739 --> 00:55:17.719
we came back to the wedding. pop those right

00:55:17.719 --> 00:55:20.800
on a table. Those things were gone. Those things

00:55:20.800 --> 00:55:24.260
disappeared so damn fast, but it was the right

00:55:24.260 --> 00:55:26.500
thing to do. Yeah. Yeah. There's nothing quite

00:55:26.500 --> 00:55:29.340
like that. Although when you put some crave cases

00:55:29.340 --> 00:55:30.739
in your car, your car is going to smell like

00:55:30.739 --> 00:55:32.179
a White Castle burger for a couple of days. This

00:55:32.179 --> 00:55:34.860
is true. There's no question. It's the scent

00:55:34.860 --> 00:55:37.079
that lingers. Those scents are good. I like fresh

00:55:37.079 --> 00:55:41.539
cut grass. That's a good scent. The smell of

00:55:41.539 --> 00:55:43.750
like... an old school football, like football

00:55:43.750 --> 00:55:46.730
leather. Oh yeah. Yeah. I do like that a lot.

00:55:47.010 --> 00:55:49.429
I love the smell of flowers and it's even more

00:55:49.429 --> 00:55:52.630
special when like I have grown them. Yeah. I

00:55:52.630 --> 00:55:56.289
made this natural beauty. Yes. Admire its scent.

00:55:56.510 --> 00:55:59.309
I agree. Yeah. Yeah. I do like that a lot. Sends

00:55:59.309 --> 00:56:01.070
a pride to it. I have this one rose bush and

00:56:01.070 --> 00:56:03.750
right now it has like 40 flowers on it. It's

00:56:03.750 --> 00:56:07.079
just blowing up. and i do like i do like kind

00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:08.760
of bending down getting a getting a whiff of

00:56:08.760 --> 00:56:11.380
that once in a while for sure hell yeah uh i

00:56:11.380 --> 00:56:14.980
like the smell of garlic oh yeah just like italian

00:56:14.980 --> 00:56:17.980
food cooking uh almond extract i don't know what

00:56:17.980 --> 00:56:21.860

do like that so yeah those are those are some

00:56:24.860 --> 00:56:27.440
i can immediately think of for sure oh peanut

00:56:27.440 --> 00:56:31.260
butter cookies fresh out the oven uh or brownies

00:56:31.260 --> 00:56:36.480

00:56:37.719 --> 00:56:40.059
Yeah, that's good. Hell yeah. That's good. Good

00:56:40.059 --> 00:56:43.019
questions, guys. Good stuff today. Stanley, we

00:56:43.019 --> 00:56:48.039
gotta talk, man. I don't know. He saw a thing,

00:56:48.460 --> 00:56:52.099
folks. He saw a thing. He saw a thing. All right.

00:56:52.579 --> 00:56:55.440
On to a little segment we call the other foods.

00:56:56.059 --> 00:56:59.599
Aidan scours the globe for some really nasty

00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:01.300
stuff that people put in their mouth and call

00:57:01.300 --> 00:57:05.579
food. So, Aidan, what do you have? I have a little

00:57:05.579 --> 00:57:10.019
treat out of Malaysia today. It's called Ambu

00:57:10.019 --> 00:57:14.820
Yat. I believe is how it is pronounced. And hopefully

00:57:14.820 --> 00:57:17.440
if we have any wonderful Malaysian listener out

00:57:17.440 --> 00:57:19.679
there, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe

00:57:19.679 --> 00:57:24.280
it's Ambu Yat, is the quote unquote extremely

00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:29.139
sticky national dish of Brunei. or yeah, made

00:57:29.139 --> 00:57:32.639
with sago palm tree starch that gets cooked into

00:57:32.639 --> 00:57:37.260
a substance similar to glue. Oh, what? Yeah.

00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:40.980
It is typically eaten for, oh god, if you look

00:57:40.980 --> 00:57:44.099
up a picture of this, it looks like a substance

00:57:44.099 --> 00:57:49.800
a human could create. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone out

00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:52.780
there, go look up a picture of Ambuyat. They're

00:57:52.780 --> 00:57:56.579
like, wow, that's, wow. Oh, no. Yeah. Substance

00:57:56.579 --> 00:57:59.639
similar to glue, mind you, is typically eaten

00:57:59.639 --> 00:58:04.260
for lunch with a fermented sour sauce. That'll

00:58:04.260 --> 00:58:06.559
make the dish. Traditionally prepared for special

00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:08.699
occasions where it serves as a substitute for

00:58:08.699 --> 00:58:12.239
rice, locals eat it with a double -pronged bamboo

00:58:12.239 --> 00:58:16.960
stick. And it is said the best way to eat amboyat

00:58:16.960 --> 00:58:19.719
is by twirling it around the stick. And because

00:58:19.719 --> 00:58:22.039
of its glue -like substance, it sticks. dicks

00:58:22.039 --> 00:58:25.039
on there and glorps to it. Oh, no. And then dipping

00:58:25.039 --> 00:58:29.199
it in the sour sauce, swallowing it instead of

00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:32.800
chewing because of its consistency. Oh, God.

00:58:33.139 --> 00:58:36.159
That's really gross. Why would you eat something

00:58:36.159 --> 00:58:39.000
you don't want to chew and enjoy? Right. Just

00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:43.739
eat rice, bro. It's the ambia, maybe accompanied

00:58:43.739 --> 00:58:46.739
by a variety of side dishes, dips and sauces

00:58:46.739 --> 00:58:52.389
due to its notable blandness. Some saying it

00:58:52.389 --> 00:58:56.110
tastes like, quote, nothing at all. The most

00:58:56.110 --> 00:58:59.429
popular dips are made from local sour fruits

00:58:59.429 --> 00:59:03.389
or made with the infamous durian fruit. The dish

00:59:03.389 --> 00:59:07.429
can be tried to be served with meat. It says

00:59:07.429 --> 00:59:10.869
must try delicacy, but I hold my reservations

00:59:10.869 --> 00:59:16.110
on saying all that. That's really gross, dude.

00:59:16.230 --> 00:59:19.829
Yeah. Glorpy glue -like substance just to be

00:59:19.829 --> 00:59:24.250
a swallowed vehicle for sour fruit mash? Uh -huh.

00:59:24.789 --> 00:59:26.469
If you like the fruit mash, just eat the fruit

00:59:26.469 --> 00:59:29.630
mash. Just eat that, yeah. Yeah, tree starch.

00:59:30.510 --> 00:59:35.030
Glue, gloopy tree starch. Oh, so nasty. Yeah.

00:59:35.489 --> 00:59:39.469
So gross. Yeah, uh, look at the picture though.

00:59:39.690 --> 00:59:42.170
That's, that's the... Yeah, all you lovely listener

00:59:42.170 --> 00:59:45.420
out there. look up Ambuya and just like scroll

00:59:45.420 --> 00:59:53.840
through the images. It's unique. Well, um, little

00:59:53.840 --> 00:59:57.059
Mr. Movie review time. I went to the theater.

00:59:58.059 --> 01:00:01.139
Didn't run into you weird people this time. Oh,

01:00:01.260 --> 01:00:05.659
I'm looking at. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, God. Sorry,

01:00:05.699 --> 01:00:09.500
I had to do some live research. Why? And show.

01:00:10.039 --> 01:00:13.179
That's gross. Yeah, the other pictures of Ambuyat

01:00:13.179 --> 01:00:15.159
were more disgusting than the first one I showed

01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:20.860
Mark Mo. Oh. Yeah. Food cocky. Ugh, gross. That's

01:00:20.860 --> 01:00:26.480
nasty. That's so gross. Anyway. Who eats that?

01:00:27.340 --> 01:00:32.980
Malaysians? Malaysians. Anyway, Mr. Movie Review.

01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:38.179
I saw a little movie called Disclosure Day. It's

01:00:38.179 --> 01:00:41.159
a newest sci -fi thriller from one Mr. Steven

01:00:41.159 --> 01:00:45.579
Spielberg. It's about the revelation that humanity

01:00:45.579 --> 01:00:48.260
is not alone in the universe. The story follows

01:00:48.260 --> 01:00:52.380
a meteorologist played by Emily Blunt and a whistleblower

01:00:52.380 --> 01:00:54.880
slash computer expert played by Josh O 'Connor

01:00:54.880 --> 01:00:57.940
who uncover evidence of extra extraterrestrial

01:00:57.940 --> 01:01:01.389
contact and a long -running cover -up. As the

01:01:01.389 --> 01:01:03.630
truth begins to emerge, they become entangled

01:01:03.630 --> 01:01:06.829
in a global struggle over disclosure, secrecy,

01:01:06.929 --> 01:01:10.329
and humanity's response to first contact. The

01:01:10.329 --> 01:01:13.550
cast also includes Colin Firth, Coleman Domingo,

01:01:13.909 --> 01:01:17.389
and Eve Hewson. The film was released on June

01:01:17.389 --> 01:01:21.000
12th. And I give this particular film a four

01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:24.239
out of five stars. Hell, yeah. It was good. Did

01:01:24.239 --> 01:01:26.800
not have a definitive ending, which is usually

01:01:26.800 --> 01:01:30.039
a grade down for me because I feel like you can

01:01:30.039 --> 01:01:33.619
end any story and still leave the loop open to

01:01:33.619 --> 01:01:35.539
do a second film and a third film and a fourth

01:01:35.539 --> 01:01:38.239
film. But I don't understand why so many filmmakers

01:01:38.239 --> 01:01:41.360
have to leave you with a cliffhanger as if to

01:01:41.360 --> 01:01:43.920
say, hey, thanks for watching this movie. ha

01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:46.199
now you got to come see the next one it's like

01:01:46.199 --> 01:01:48.340
now if you dude what why it's like producing

01:01:48.340 --> 01:01:50.800
a book but you tear out the last 10 pages right

01:01:50.800 --> 01:01:54.380
it's like well why did i buy the book if i if

01:01:54.380 --> 01:01:55.800
you're not going to finish the damn story if

01:01:55.800 --> 01:01:57.400
you're not going to finish the story and i just

01:01:57.400 --> 01:01:59.400
felt like they they could have left you with

01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:01.340
some sort of hanger but still finish that story

01:02:01.340 --> 01:02:05.239
and i just i i never like that but all in all

01:02:05.239 --> 01:02:09.559
an entertaining movie a fun movie and um I don't

01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:12.119
know. I liked it. I think if you like good sci

01:02:12.119 --> 01:02:17.079
-fi, if you like the whole extraterrestrial kind

01:02:17.079 --> 01:02:19.460
of stuff, it's definitely worth your watch. I

01:02:19.460 --> 01:02:23.719
think it's definitely a good watch for certain.

01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:29.420
That's that as far as the movie reviews go, and

01:02:29.420 --> 01:02:31.159
I think we're going to take a quick break, and

01:02:31.159 --> 01:02:33.380
when we come back we're going to hit our feature

01:02:33.380 --> 01:02:36.519
segment, You Just Made the List. All right, we

01:02:36.519 --> 01:02:39.619
are back for you just made the list it's our

feature segment or top 10 list each and every

01:02:42.360 --> 01:02:45.480
week we make a list Oh God, whatever the hell

01:02:45.480 --> 01:02:49.000
we want and Share that with you find beautiful

01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:53.760
people 10 through 2 with our big number one reveal

01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:57.380
and You know, it is important when you do these

01:02:57.380 --> 01:02:59.460
sorts of things, to pay attention to the rules.

01:02:59.760 --> 01:03:01.719
Because you don't want any violations. Sure.

01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:03.639
You know, you don't want getting a ticket in

01:03:03.639 --> 01:03:06.679
the mail for something you messed up on. What

01:03:06.679 --> 01:03:08.960
a terrible feeling that would be. Yeah, well,

01:03:09.019 --> 01:03:15.039
it is. I get those. Anyway, the amazing thing

01:03:15.039 --> 01:03:19.050
is that the only rule... is there are none whoo

01:03:19.050 --> 01:03:21.530
let's freaking go chat that great everyone subscribe

01:03:21.530 --> 01:03:24.050
for the best rule of all time that's for sure

01:03:24.050 --> 01:03:29.710
rules for certain so this week the top 10 worst

01:03:29.710 --> 01:03:34.260
sports franchises. Oh, that's fun. Yes. We've

01:03:34.260 --> 01:03:35.960
been talking about sports on and off for the

01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:37.820
day, so it makes sense. It makes sense to do

01:03:37.820 --> 01:03:39.480
that. A lot of sports, a lot of music in our

01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:42.820
top 10 lately. And this one in particular is

01:03:42.820 --> 01:03:45.940
kind of fun, because there are just some dog

01:03:45.940 --> 01:03:49.300
-ass sports franchises. Oh, yeah. So that being

01:03:49.300 --> 01:03:52.739
said, Aidan, what you got? Well, I do apologize

01:03:52.739 --> 01:03:57.309
to our foreign listener out there. I stuck with

01:03:57.309 --> 01:03:59.909
American sports franchises today because those

01:03:59.909 --> 01:04:01.989
are the ones I'm most familiar with. Correct.

01:04:02.130 --> 01:04:05.670
So I stuck with the Big Four. I've got NHL, NBA,

01:04:05.849 --> 01:04:08.889
NFL, MLB. And that's what I will be covering

01:04:08.889 --> 01:04:12.590
on my worst sports franchises. Number 10 on my

01:04:12.590 --> 01:04:17.230
list, the Carolina Hurricanes. Now, they are,

01:04:17.690 --> 01:04:19.889
over the last 10 years at least, last five to

01:04:19.889 --> 01:04:22.880
10 years, a remarkably successful team. That

01:04:22.880 --> 01:04:25.760
is true. Very much a winning team. I think last

01:04:25.760 --> 01:04:30.480
year they had like a 649 win percentage, which

01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:34.280
is insanely high. And won the Cup this year.

01:04:34.400 --> 01:04:37.719
And they did win the Cup. So remarkably successful

01:04:37.719 --> 01:04:40.440
over the last five to ten years. They killed

01:04:40.440 --> 01:04:44.119
my best friend. They did. They killed my best

01:04:44.119 --> 01:04:47.579
friend, the Hartford Whaler. Indeed. And I will

01:04:47.579 --> 01:04:50.920
never forgive them for that. Because how... Carolina.

01:04:51.179 --> 01:04:56.219
That is not a city nor a state. No. It's neither.

01:04:56.360 --> 01:04:58.800
What are you? What is Carolina? What Carolina?

01:04:58.880 --> 01:05:01.840
That means nothing to me. No. That means nothing

01:05:01.840 --> 01:05:03.659
to me. You killed the Hartford Whalers and I

01:05:03.659 --> 01:05:06.420
will never forgive you, so you can lick my balls.

01:05:06.619 --> 01:05:09.500
I love that. Fuck you. I love that. I love that

01:05:09.500 --> 01:05:12.760
so much. So yeah, they're number nine. Congratulations

01:05:12.760 --> 01:05:14.780
to the Hartford Whalers on their first Stanley

01:05:14.780 --> 01:05:17.440
Cup. Yes, exactly. Well overdue. Well overdue.

01:05:17.480 --> 01:05:20.739
Well overdue. Number nine on my list. controversial

01:05:20.739 --> 01:05:24.960
in this room, the Denver Broncos. Oh, no. Now,

01:05:25.159 --> 01:05:28.099
they have been a remarkably successful team on

01:05:28.099 --> 01:05:31.059
and off as well. I mean, you went from John Elway,

01:05:31.199 --> 01:05:34.019
you had Peyton Manning. Yeah. Bo Nix is popping

01:05:34.019 --> 01:05:37.119
off. Right. Here's the thing. They got bought

01:05:37.119 --> 01:05:40.219
by the same fucking chodes that own Walmart.

01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:45.079
They hired Sean Payton who was never punished

01:05:45.079 --> 01:05:47.960
for all of the dog shit. He did in New Orleans

01:05:47.960 --> 01:05:50.940
That's fair between targeting players. Yeah,

01:05:50.940 --> 01:05:55.340
you know putting out bounties on people so foul

01:05:55.340 --> 01:05:59.579
foul behavior out of Denver You guys are making

01:05:59.579 --> 01:06:03.179
it very tough for me to root for you. Very tough

01:06:03.179 --> 01:06:07.659
as a fan. Okay number eight the Kansas City Chiefs

01:06:07.659 --> 01:06:13.239
Their spark is gone Their locker room and team

01:06:13.239 --> 01:06:16.219
energy seems like something you should not subject

01:06:16.219 --> 01:06:21.079
to anyone. What a bad vibe. I mean, who is it?

01:06:21.159 --> 01:06:23.820
Their punter or their kicker is some kind of

01:06:23.820 --> 01:06:26.420
MAGA chode hanging out with pedophiles all day.

01:06:27.840 --> 01:06:30.739
I mean, you got Patrick Mahomes, who sounds like

01:06:30.739 --> 01:06:32.920
Kermit the Frog, and he's just not a likable

01:06:32.920 --> 01:06:36.639
person. Andy Reid's kind of a chode. Travis Kelsey's

01:06:36.639 --> 01:06:41.019
definitely a chode. And their heavy downward

01:06:41.019 --> 01:06:44.880
swing is only going to continue for years and

01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:47.659
years to come. That's my prediction. And I think

01:06:47.659 --> 01:06:49.880
it's the Kansas City Chief's fault. And for anyone

01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:51.860
who bandwagoned for them, you're about to look

01:06:51.860 --> 01:06:56.159
very stupid. Wow. I like your take so far. There's

01:06:56.159 --> 01:06:58.559
my hot take. Number seven, the Columbus Blue

01:06:58.559 --> 01:07:02.980
Jackets. Have they ever tried to win anything?

01:07:03.860 --> 01:07:06.159
Not to my knowledge. No, the answer is no. No.

01:07:06.349 --> 01:07:08.250
And if you have a losing team for that amount

01:07:08.250 --> 01:07:12.030
of time, look inward as the owner, as the GM,

01:07:12.250 --> 01:07:16.070
as the coach. Maybe just get out of the business.

01:07:16.550 --> 01:07:19.329
You guys aren't winning anything. I'm trying

01:07:19.329 --> 01:07:20.869
to think in recent history, what have they ever

01:07:20.869 --> 01:07:26.030
done? Nothing. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Which

01:07:26.030 --> 01:07:29.309
is shocking because in terms of college sports,

01:07:31.150 --> 01:07:33.070
the Ohio State Buckeyes are in the same town

01:07:33.070 --> 01:07:37.809
in our highly successful right versus the pro

01:07:37.809 --> 01:07:41.170
team in your town which is dog ass absolute dog

01:07:41.170 --> 01:07:44.789
water yeah interesting uh number six on my list

01:07:44.789 --> 01:07:49.760
the pittsburgh pirates i love rooting for underdogs,

01:07:50.179 --> 01:07:52.800
and the Pittsburgh Pirates are pretty consistently

01:07:52.800 --> 01:07:55.360
underdogs. They're, I believe, what we in the

01:07:55.360 --> 01:07:58.639
Viz call a small market team. Sure. Which is

01:07:58.639 --> 01:08:01.199
just MOB speak for the owner doesn't want to

01:08:01.199 --> 01:08:04.139
spend any money. That's fair. You've got a greedy

01:08:04.139 --> 01:08:05.940
Chodester of an owner that doesn't want to spend

01:08:05.940 --> 01:08:09.440
any money on players, and they pretty consistently

01:08:09.440 --> 01:08:12.460
have losing records year over year. I can't remember

01:08:12.460 --> 01:08:15.360
the last time they did anything notable in the

01:08:15.360 --> 01:08:18.539
playoffs. Correct me if I'm wrong? Uh, it's been

01:08:18.539 --> 01:08:23.079
a hot minute. Decades, perhaps? Uh, yeah. Yeah.

01:08:23.279 --> 01:08:26.119
Yeah. Yeah. And I love clowning on Pittsburgh

01:08:26.119 --> 01:08:31.159
because of, uh, former friend and former, uh,

01:08:31.520 --> 01:08:34.279
co -host of mine. But that was just joshing.

01:08:34.880 --> 01:08:37.739
Sure. I want the Pirates to be good. I love rooting

01:08:37.739 --> 01:08:41.199
for underdogs. But what a terrible franchise.

01:08:41.560 --> 01:08:44.939
Number five. We just mentioned him earlier. The

01:08:44.939 --> 01:08:48.100
New Orleans Saints haven't done shit since Breeze

01:08:48.100 --> 01:08:51.539
retired. Drew Breeze retired. Even his last couple

01:08:51.539 --> 01:08:54.699
years, you could see him fading. And they haven't

01:08:54.699 --> 01:08:57.399
done anything since he retired. They were never

01:08:57.399 --> 01:09:00.220
properly punished for Sean Payton and the targeting

01:09:00.220 --> 01:09:04.340
and the bounties. They are a chippy, dirty team.

01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:07.500
And I despise them. I think as an owner, you

01:09:07.500 --> 01:09:09.500
should look at your team and be like, what the

01:09:09.500 --> 01:09:11.949
fuck are we doing? Yep. Unless you as the owner

01:09:11.949 --> 01:09:14.350
are okay with it, in which case you're complacent

01:09:14.350 --> 01:09:17.689
and you are an asshole. Yeah, that's fair. Number

01:09:17.689 --> 01:09:21.050
four. Tied at number four. Oh, tied at number

01:09:21.050 --> 01:09:24.350
four, okay. The New York Jets and the New York

01:09:24.350 --> 01:09:27.210
football giants. I love that. I love it so much.

01:09:27.449 --> 01:09:31.350
You guys are both horrible at what you do. Horrible,

01:09:31.489 --> 01:09:34.329
bad, evil, gross. I don't know if it's the curse

01:09:34.329 --> 01:09:37.489
of playing in New Jersey. I don't know if you

01:09:37.489 --> 01:09:40.489
guys are just both stupid. Could be. As franchises.

01:09:40.550 --> 01:09:43.489
Yeah. But they both deserve to be up here. I

01:09:43.489 --> 01:09:45.130
agree. The Giants haven't done shit since Eli

01:09:45.130 --> 01:09:48.409
retired. And the Jets, I don't think, have ever

01:09:48.409 --> 01:09:53.270
done anything. Mm -mm. If I'm right. Joe Namath.

01:09:53.630 --> 01:09:56.090
Oh, sure. Oh, sure. That's true. That's true.

01:09:56.350 --> 01:09:59.750
That's it. How many decades ago? A lot. A lot.

01:10:00.149 --> 01:10:04.590
A lot. Number three on my list, the Chicago White

01:10:04.590 --> 01:10:08.850
Sox. Mm -hmm. Terrible owner. This shitty team,

01:10:08.909 --> 01:10:12.350
the fans are asinine. Even when they're winning,

01:10:12.489 --> 01:10:14.649
which somehow they're winning this year, they're

01:10:14.649 --> 01:10:15.750
one of the most successful. Oh, there's plenty

01:10:15.750 --> 01:10:18.510
of time to fuck that up. Most successful as of

01:10:18.510 --> 01:10:22.130
recording, most successful teams in the American

01:10:22.130 --> 01:10:26.470
League. Yeah. But just terrible, terrible ownership.

01:10:27.130 --> 01:10:30.409
And the fans, even though they're White Sox fans,

01:10:30.770 --> 01:10:33.710
they are bandwagoners. Oh, yeah. When the team

01:10:33.710 --> 01:10:35.970
had 100 lost seasons, no one was going to the

01:10:35.970 --> 01:10:39.810
games. Oh. Like a few thousand. Yeah. Yeah, all

01:10:39.810 --> 01:10:41.289
of a sudden they start winning and people start

01:10:41.289 --> 01:10:43.229
showing back up It's like wow. Okay, so it's

01:10:43.229 --> 01:10:46.170
conditional fanship. Yeah Unbelievable number

01:10:46.170 --> 01:10:51.449
two on my list same baseball team With the same

01:10:51.449 --> 01:10:55.189
problems the Colorado Rockies. Oh, yeah, I believe

01:10:55.189 --> 01:10:59.329
over the last 20 years The most losing team in

01:10:59.329 --> 01:11:02.819
baseball. I believe so. Yes. Yep Yeah, it's true.

01:11:02.939 --> 01:11:06.100
Just how can you be so consistently bad? Oh,

01:11:06.140 --> 01:11:08.699
yeah, and they are so that's my number two. I'll

01:11:08.699 --> 01:11:11.920
save my number one Okay, you have for the worst

01:11:11.920 --> 01:11:15.680
sports franchises. Oh, I have I have so much

01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:21.100
It's it's pretty it's pretty amazing So I think

01:11:21.100 --> 01:11:25.279
we share a few for certain. I have at number

01:11:25.279 --> 01:11:30.039
10 the Chicago Bulls Which is shocking because,

01:11:30.300 --> 01:11:31.779
you know, you think of the six championships

01:11:31.779 --> 01:11:33.380
in eight years, which would have been eight out

01:11:33.380 --> 01:11:35.399
of eight had he not, you know, Jordan not retired.

01:11:35.760 --> 01:11:38.319
Yeah. Double three -peat. You know, when they

01:11:38.319 --> 01:11:42.359
broke Rodman, Pippen, and Jordan up, that was

01:11:42.359 --> 01:11:44.659
it. And they have not been back since they had

01:11:44.659 --> 01:11:47.760
a couple of decent teams with like Derrick Rose

01:11:47.760 --> 01:11:52.640
was great. Derrick Rose. Heinrich. Gosh, who

01:11:52.640 --> 01:11:59.100
else? Ben Gordon. Yeah. Noah. Like they had they

01:11:59.100 --> 01:12:02.060
had dudes that could play and they they had two

01:12:02.060 --> 01:12:05.960
or three really good seasons in there. But even

01:12:05.960 --> 01:12:07.859
then they weren't like the best team in the league.

01:12:07.960 --> 01:12:09.760
They're maybe third or fourth, but even so it

01:12:09.760 --> 01:12:12.880
was like Okay, this is something and then they've

01:12:12.880 --> 01:12:15.819
shat the bed since they really haven't done anything

01:12:15.819 --> 01:12:18.680
at best They're what like the last playoff in

01:12:18.680 --> 01:12:21.300
and then they get squashed right away, right

01:12:21.300 --> 01:12:25.399
and it's just it's it's bad news and The consistent

01:12:25.399 --> 01:12:28.359
middling team of mediocrity. Yeah, it's just

01:12:28.359 --> 01:12:30.840
bad. It's just bad. I believe shares ownership

01:12:30.840 --> 01:12:34.479
with the Sox Which is my number nine? There you

01:12:34.479 --> 01:12:37.159
go. Aidan, Mr. Segway. Number nine is the Chicago

01:12:37.159 --> 01:12:41.659
White Sox. Yes, I know they have this odd success

01:12:41.659 --> 01:12:44.720
this year that nobody can explain. They got the

01:12:44.720 --> 01:12:46.819
Murakami dude that just like hits home runs on

01:12:46.819 --> 01:12:49.640
the daily. So I think they just stumbled into

01:12:49.640 --> 01:12:52.560
him like the bulls stumbled into Jordan. And

01:12:52.560 --> 01:12:55.500
you know, so they have a lot of luck with that.

01:12:56.100 --> 01:12:59.060
I look at that team and I don't get it. I just

01:12:59.060 --> 01:13:02.100
don't like I feel like if it were a seven game

01:13:02.100 --> 01:13:06.060
series against The the Braves or the Dodgers

01:13:06.060 --> 01:13:08.619
or like, you know, maybe the Yankees like a really

01:13:08.619 --> 01:13:11.220
good team They get stomped in five games. Like

01:13:11.220 --> 01:13:12.859
I don't I don't think that they're really gonna

01:13:12.859 --> 01:13:17.260
do much But it's progress. I will give them that

01:13:17.260 --> 01:13:20.520
but the last two years Maybe three have just

01:13:20.520 --> 01:13:23.979
been dog water just brutal right you take 2026

01:13:23.979 --> 01:13:27.979
out of the mix From 2024 to 2025 season, what

01:13:27.979 --> 01:13:30.560
did they lose? 200 games? Yeah. Over those two

01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:33.760
seasons? Terrible. Yeah. Terrible. One of the

01:13:33.760 --> 01:13:35.680
worst teams of all time, as a matter of fact.

01:13:36.239 --> 01:13:38.659
And so it's just bad. It's a bad organization.

01:13:39.380 --> 01:13:42.899
They're in the number three market in all of

01:13:42.899 --> 01:13:48.619
sports, and yet they can't spend money. won't

01:13:48.619 --> 01:13:51.760
spend money right on elite players like okay

01:13:51.760 --> 01:13:53.340
we got this young kid they can play this young

01:13:53.340 --> 01:13:56.100
kid they can play good go and get two or three

01:13:56.100 --> 01:13:57.880
really good veterans to put around them and go

01:13:57.880 --> 01:14:01.000
do something right and they don't consistently

01:14:01.000 --> 01:14:03.899
consistently because owners cheap number eight

01:14:03.899 --> 01:14:07.600
the Charlotte Hornets I don't know why they exist

01:14:09.150 --> 01:14:11.590
I know Michael Jordan is a part owner. Maybe

01:14:11.590 --> 01:14:15.170
he's just bored. I don't know but they're absolutely

01:14:15.170 --> 01:14:17.890
terrible Number seven the Pittsburgh Pirates

01:14:17.890 --> 01:14:19.569
for many of the reasons Aidan said and here's

01:14:19.569 --> 01:14:21.729
the thing I have nothing against Pittsburgh.

01:14:21.789 --> 01:14:23.369
I have nothing against the town. I hear it's

01:14:23.369 --> 01:14:26.090
a cool city I hear the baseball park is like

01:14:26.090 --> 01:14:28.770
top three or four and all a baseball in terms

01:14:28.770 --> 01:14:31.229
of like location and the actual park and like

01:14:31.229 --> 01:14:33.939
all that And what an amazing thing to have this

01:14:33.939 --> 01:14:36.380
park that everybody wants to go to and is part

01:14:36.380 --> 01:14:39.140
of the city that's super cool and go and sit

01:14:39.140 --> 01:14:43.760
there and watch ass. Right. Just terrible. And

01:14:43.760 --> 01:14:46.000
if they don't if they don't fix it, that certain

01:14:46.000 --> 01:14:47.960
picture they have that's a stud skein, he'll

01:14:47.960 --> 01:14:50.060
just leave. Yeah. He's like, oh, I'm due for

01:14:50.060 --> 01:14:51.899
a big raise. They're not going to pay me. See

01:14:51.899 --> 01:14:55.000
ya. Yeah, I'm out. You should come over to the

01:14:55.000 --> 01:14:57.399
Cubs. I think that'd be a great idea. I think

01:14:57.399 --> 01:14:59.159
the Cubs should just unload their farm system

01:14:59.159 --> 01:15:04.579
for skeins and scubal and just finish this thing.

01:15:05.060 --> 01:15:08.920
Just do it. Number six, the Arizona Cardinals.

01:15:09.239 --> 01:15:10.680
Now they had that one year where they played

01:15:10.680 --> 01:15:12.819
in the Super Bowl. And mind you, they stumbled

01:15:12.819 --> 01:15:14.800
into Kurt Warner for two years. So that's a big

01:15:14.800 --> 01:15:18.119
reason why they did it. But aside from that one

01:15:18.119 --> 01:15:21.899
season, failure, after failure, after failure.

01:15:22.460 --> 01:15:25.659
Mediocrity was the best ever for that group.

01:15:25.659 --> 01:15:29.520
Right. Usually more like a 4 -5 -6 -1 team. Just

01:15:29.520 --> 01:15:35.720
not consistently bad. And they're just, they're

01:15:35.720 --> 01:15:39.250
not great. That's where they are. Number five,

01:15:39.569 --> 01:15:41.829
the Columbus Blue Jackets. Once again, a lot

01:15:41.829 --> 01:15:44.550
of the reasons that we've mentioned. I think

01:15:44.550 --> 01:15:48.050
the name of your team is stupid. I always said,

01:15:48.350 --> 01:15:50.590
if you just want to have a team name, pick a

01:15:50.590 --> 01:15:53.590
color, pick an animal. You can't lose. It's fine.

01:15:53.890 --> 01:15:56.409
They could have been the Blue Hawks, the Blue

01:15:56.409 --> 01:15:59.210
Jays, the Blue Birds, the Blue Tigers. They could

01:15:59.210 --> 01:16:02.789
have done anything. The Blue Jackets. Now, people

01:16:02.789 --> 01:16:05.989
are like, oh, that's from their role in the Civil

01:16:05.989 --> 01:16:08.920
War and all that. great great super all right

01:16:08.920 --> 01:16:11.840
whatever to me i see the word blue jacket i think

01:16:11.840 --> 01:16:13.399
in that they're shopping at walmart and picking

01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:15.859
up a cheap suit and that's basically all this

01:16:15.859 --> 01:16:18.439
team is worth is a cheap walmart suit that is

01:16:18.439 --> 01:16:22.060
it yeah number four the colorado rockies aiden

01:16:22.060 --> 01:16:25.039
and i just we're sinking on this yeah colorado

01:16:25.039 --> 01:16:28.159
rockies absolutely ass team i love denver i've

01:16:28.159 --> 01:16:31.500
been there it's it's probably top four or five

01:16:31.500 --> 01:16:34.380
city in this nation to me. I love it. The surrounding

01:16:34.380 --> 01:16:35.920
mountains, going up into the mountains, going

01:16:35.920 --> 01:16:38.579
to Boulder, like the whole area is great. And

01:16:38.579 --> 01:16:40.800
they've had football success, they've had hockey

01:16:40.800 --> 01:16:44.460
success, even basketball, even success. Right,

01:16:44.560 --> 01:16:46.920
they got Joker, man. I mean, so like the town

01:16:46.920 --> 01:16:49.359
is just full of like good shit in terms of their

01:16:49.359 --> 01:16:52.739
sports. And then there's the baseball team. Yeah.

01:16:53.239 --> 01:16:57.260
You know, and that team is just bad. Terrible.

01:16:57.579 --> 01:17:00.359
Just terrible, just bad. Like look, okay, well

01:17:00.359 --> 01:17:02.199
that's the thin air and the ball carries, great.

01:17:02.579 --> 01:17:04.520
Then fuck your pitching, just get a bunch of

01:17:04.520 --> 01:17:07.100
dudes who don't even do shit, but get yourself

01:17:07.100 --> 01:17:09.340
a killer lineup one through six that's just gonna

01:17:09.340 --> 01:17:11.739
launch that ball into outer space. Right, your

01:17:11.739 --> 01:17:15.380
home field is in home run central. Yeah. You're

01:17:15.380 --> 01:17:17.880
a mile and change above sea level. Yep. You can

01:17:17.880 --> 01:17:21.750
launch the ball. Yes. Why are you so consistently

01:17:21.750 --> 01:17:24.590
the losing team every year? Shouldn't be. Shouldn't

01:17:24.590 --> 01:17:27.430
be. So yeah, I don't know what their deal is

01:17:27.430 --> 01:17:30.989
there. Interestingly, my number two and my number

01:17:30.989 --> 01:17:33.289
three are the New York Giants and the New York

01:17:33.289 --> 01:17:36.789
Jets. We were on par, completely on this list.

01:17:37.130 --> 01:17:40.470
Once again, no offense to those that like the

01:17:40.470 --> 01:17:43.170
Premier League and Bundesliga and all that kind

01:17:43.170 --> 01:17:47.159
of stuff. We appreciate all of you. I just am

01:17:47.159 --> 01:17:51.359
not as familiar with your ass teams. I know your

01:17:51.359 --> 01:17:55.020
very good teams, you know, like Baron Munich

01:17:55.020 --> 01:17:58.840
and, oh God, who are some of the good teams over

01:17:58.840 --> 01:18:01.699
in Premier? It would be like ManU, ManCity. ManU,

01:18:01.819 --> 01:18:04.399
ManCity, yep, exactly. So like, I know your good

01:18:04.399 --> 01:18:06.659
teams. I just don't know, because of the beautiful

01:18:06.659 --> 01:18:09.619
thing. about like the Premier League, for example,

01:18:10.000 --> 01:18:12.859
is when you have some ass teams, you demote them.

01:18:12.859 --> 01:18:16.199
Right. And I love that so much. Like you really

01:18:16.199 --> 01:18:17.560
suck. So you're going to go down and play in

01:18:17.560 --> 01:18:20.500
that league for a while. It's just that that

01:18:20.500 --> 01:18:23.340
part of it just I love so much. So the Giants

01:18:23.340 --> 01:18:25.579
and Jets are just ass. They're there. And New

01:18:25.579 --> 01:18:28.239
York is the number one market. There's no reason

01:18:28.239 --> 01:18:30.359
like not saying they should win the Super Bowl

01:18:30.359 --> 01:18:32.119
every year, but there's no reason they shouldn't

01:18:32.119 --> 01:18:35.619
be competitive every year. They just have bad

01:18:35.619 --> 01:18:38.739
ownership and bad coaching. They pick wrong players.

01:18:38.880 --> 01:18:42.199
They pick guys with attitudes or issues. And

01:18:42.199 --> 01:18:44.899
every year, it just seems like one thing after

01:18:44.899 --> 01:18:49.239
another after another. And yeah, I mean, like

01:18:49.239 --> 01:18:51.199
people like are all excited about the Jets this

01:18:51.199 --> 01:18:52.659
year. Oh, is this the year we finally go to the

01:18:52.659 --> 01:18:54.659
playoffs? No, this is the year you maybe win

01:18:54.659 --> 01:18:57.640
six or seven games. That's right. That's it,

01:18:57.760 --> 01:18:59.960
guys. I mean, it's not going to be any better.

01:19:00.720 --> 01:19:03.840
So, yeah, those franchises suck. Yeah. Damn right.

01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:06.569
For certain. We're now on to our number ones.

01:19:06.670 --> 01:19:10.689
The numero uno. Yes. The worst team, the worst

01:19:10.689 --> 01:19:14.729
franchise I could think of throughout all of

01:19:14.729 --> 01:19:19.229
history. The Cleveland Browns. There's not enough

01:19:19.229 --> 01:19:24.050
you can say about them to properly quantify how

01:19:24.050 --> 01:19:28.369
shit they are. Consistently are. Yeah. And the

01:19:28.369 --> 01:19:31.710
management and ownership and the players. Oh

01:19:31.710 --> 01:19:36.359
my God. Oh my god leaves a bad taste in your

01:19:36.359 --> 01:19:40.520
mouth. Yeah Yeah, it it really it really does

01:19:40.520 --> 01:19:41.979
and how many quarterbacks do they have right

01:19:41.979 --> 01:19:45.260
now like ten? I don't I mean, they're probably

01:19:45.260 --> 01:19:47.180
just playing the odds. They're probably just

01:19:47.180 --> 01:19:50.539
like okay. We get ten of these guys One of them

01:19:50.539 --> 01:19:54.529
will at least be decent No. Yeah, I think that's

01:19:54.529 --> 01:19:57.989
a no. That's a no for me. My number one is also

01:19:57.989 --> 01:20:01.390
Cleveland Browns. Yeah. That is unanimous. And

01:20:01.390 --> 01:20:03.649
here's the funny thing about the Cleveland Browns.

01:20:03.890 --> 01:20:06.789
This is Cleveland Browns part two, or part deux

01:20:06.789 --> 01:20:11.590
if you are one of our French fans. The original

01:20:11.590 --> 01:20:14.869
Cleveland Browns left for Baltimore to become

01:20:14.869 --> 01:20:18.670
successful. To become the Ravens with Lamar Jackson

01:20:18.670 --> 01:20:21.872
and Coach Harbaugh. So like they're the like...

01:20:21.869 --> 01:20:24.489
they're doing good things since they've left.

01:20:25.069 --> 01:20:26.670
And they're like, well, fine, we'll get an expansion

01:20:26.670 --> 01:20:28.689
team and we'll call them the Cleveland Browns.

01:20:28.810 --> 01:20:32.810
Oh, you go do that little guy. You go. Maybe

01:20:32.810 --> 01:20:36.390
leaving Cleveland is the only way to be good.

01:20:37.350 --> 01:20:39.609
I think it's in Ohio. LeBron did it. Yeah, I

01:20:39.609 --> 01:20:41.890
think it's an Ohio thing. It's either an Ohio

01:20:41.890 --> 01:20:45.130
thing or a Cleveland thing. I really do think

01:20:45.130 --> 01:20:48.029
so. But, you know, once again, the Cavs have

01:20:48.029 --> 01:20:52.739
had some limited success and The Guardians, while

01:20:52.739 --> 01:20:55.880
not winning, uh, formerly the Indians, while

01:20:55.880 --> 01:20:58.359
not winning a World Series, have at least had

01:20:58.359 --> 01:21:00.579
limited success, a lot of playoff runs and things

01:21:00.579 --> 01:21:02.779
like that. We got to game seven with them. Got

01:21:02.779 --> 01:21:05.000
to game, which was arguably one of the best World

01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:08.760
Series ever. So, yeah, so like, that was all

01:21:08.760 --> 01:21:11.720
good stuff, and so like, Cleveland has good teams.

01:21:12.699 --> 01:21:15.819
But then there's the Browns. Yeah. And it just

01:21:15.819 --> 01:21:19.159
I don't know. Maybe it's just and I joke with

01:21:19.159 --> 01:21:20.659
Cleveland fans and if you're from Cleveland,

01:21:20.699 --> 01:21:23.720
I'm so sorry. But but like I joke with Cleveland

01:21:23.720 --> 01:21:27.140
fans all the time that I think Michael Jordan

01:21:27.140 --> 01:21:30.340
and John Elway killed your teams. I just think

01:21:30.340 --> 01:21:33.199
that they like the Cleveland Browns had a run

01:21:33.199 --> 01:21:35.920
where they had an awesome team for like four

01:21:35.920 --> 01:21:38.060
or five seasons. And what do they do? They meet

01:21:38.060 --> 01:21:40.199
John Elway in the Broncos in the in the playoffs.

01:21:40.239 --> 01:21:43.390
And what happens? Eh, well. Well. We know. History

01:21:43.390 --> 01:21:45.449
tells. John takes care of business. And the same

01:21:45.449 --> 01:21:47.649
thing with the Cavaliers. You know, Hilo and

01:21:47.649 --> 01:21:49.970
Doherty and all those guys, like a really good

01:21:49.970 --> 01:21:52.390
basketball team. Who do they meet in the playoffs?

01:21:52.869 --> 01:21:55.470
Jordan and the Bulls. What happens? Well. Yeah,

01:21:55.550 --> 01:21:58.250
I got smoked. We know that story, too. So we

01:21:58.250 --> 01:22:00.590
get that. But with the Browns, it's just one

01:22:00.590 --> 01:22:03.890
thing after another. And, you know, you get this

01:22:03.890 --> 01:22:06.289
quarterback is Deshaun Watson. Wow, I think we

01:22:06.289 --> 01:22:08.689
finally got a top terrier. What do you do? Wait,

01:22:08.770 --> 01:22:12.319
what? Oh. Oh. He's getting happy endings. Oh,

01:22:12.520 --> 01:22:15.520
lots of happy endings? Oh, wait, asking for happy

01:22:15.520 --> 01:22:17.539
endings from people that don't normally give

01:22:17.539 --> 01:22:21.680
happy endings? Oh, that's a problem. For poor

01:22:21.680 --> 01:22:26.779
people, that is a crime called sexual harassment.

01:22:26.920 --> 01:22:30.319
Yes. For rich people, like this Shawn Watson,

01:22:31.180 --> 01:22:32.880
you get to play for the Cleveland Browns. You

01:22:32.880 --> 01:22:35.000
get to play for the Cleveland Browns. So it's

01:22:35.000 --> 01:22:39.779
an unfair yet similar punishment. Yeah, I definitely

01:22:39.779 --> 01:22:43.479
agree. And it just, it made me laugh when the

01:22:43.479 --> 01:22:46.380
Bears played the Browns last year. How many people

01:22:46.380 --> 01:22:49.539
were like, oh, Shador Sanders, he's so much better

01:22:49.539 --> 01:22:52.399
than Caleb Williams. Oh, the Browns are really

01:22:52.399 --> 01:22:56.760
gonna, well, okay. Well, what? No, Shador just

01:22:56.760 --> 01:23:00.279
shit the bed? Oh, and what? Per usual. Caleb

01:23:00.279 --> 01:23:02.680
made it to the play, well, disregard what I said.

01:23:02.960 --> 01:23:06.039
Never mind that, never mind. Look, I'm not saying

01:23:06.039 --> 01:23:08.020
Shador can't be a decent quarterback, maybe.

01:23:08.270 --> 01:23:11.029
of a different team. I don't know. He might be

01:23:11.029 --> 01:23:13.170
okay. The other Dylan Gabriel kid. He's got a

01:23:13.170 --> 01:23:15.069
shitty attitude, which is perfect. He's got a

01:23:15.069 --> 01:23:16.489
shitty attitude which matches his shitty team.

01:23:16.489 --> 01:23:18.229
For the Cleveland Browns, yeah. Perfect. Yeah,

01:23:18.310 --> 01:23:21.010
just perfect. So I don't know what your solution

01:23:21.010 --> 01:23:25.430
is Cleveland, but your team's bad. Your team's

01:23:25.430 --> 01:23:29.039
bad. I think the best thing to do... Which is

01:23:29.039 --> 01:23:32.140
what like mobsters used to do back in the day

01:23:32.140 --> 01:23:34.399
when they owned businesses that were failing

01:23:34.399 --> 01:23:38.739
and oh No, there's this fire and now the business

01:23:38.739 --> 01:23:40.619
is out of business and they collect the insurance

01:23:40.619 --> 01:23:44.439
money So maybe if the entire franchise was burned

01:23:44.439 --> 01:23:46.500
to the ground You guys can collect that insurance

01:23:46.500 --> 01:23:49.060
money and not have to deal with that shit football

01:23:49.060 --> 01:23:52.039
team anymore Yeah, exactly move to Portland move

01:23:52.039 --> 01:23:54.380
move to Portland move to Portland the Portland

01:23:54.380 --> 01:23:58.100
Redhawks or whatever Pick a color pick an animal

01:23:58.170 --> 01:24:01.550
Yeah. That's all you gotta do. Don't pick a blazer,

01:24:01.930 --> 01:24:04.210
okay? Don't be the blue blazers or jackets or

01:24:04.210 --> 01:24:07.909
whatever the hell those guys are. Color, animal,

01:24:08.170 --> 01:24:10.449
you're in the clear. It's gonna be a good name.

01:24:11.010 --> 01:24:13.890
Golden Hawks, that'd be cool as shit. Change

01:24:13.890 --> 01:24:16.590
it up. Change it up. Okay, and then you could

01:24:16.590 --> 01:24:19.890
have the Portland Golden Hawks be rivals with

01:24:19.890 --> 01:24:22.670
the Seattle Seahawks. How awesome would that

01:24:22.670 --> 01:24:24.529
be? How awesome would that be? We already know

01:24:24.529 --> 01:24:27.029
how awesome your soccer rivalry is. Seahawk is

01:24:27.029 --> 01:24:28.760
not a real animal. It's not an animal. It's a

01:24:28.760 --> 01:24:32.119
seagull. Well, right. You can make a fictitious

01:24:32.119 --> 01:24:34.619
animal and it's still a better mascot than a

01:24:34.619 --> 01:24:38.380
blue jacket or a brown. I'm trying to think in

01:24:38.380 --> 01:24:41.039
Seattle, and we're getting off topic, but we

01:24:41.039 --> 01:24:45.520
do that. If you follow us, you know. So the Kraken

01:24:45.520 --> 01:24:49.880
aren't real. Seahawks aren't real. This is true.

01:24:50.619 --> 01:24:55.640
A Mariner is technically like a seagoing... It's

01:24:55.640 --> 01:25:01.600
a thing. pirate guy, kinda, but their logo is

01:25:01.600 --> 01:25:05.539
like a fork, like a Merman would have. A compass

01:25:05.539 --> 01:25:09.140
or something? Yeah, something. It's like a Merman

01:25:09.140 --> 01:25:11.600
compass. Yeah. You know, that's the old school

01:25:11.600 --> 01:25:14.800
M that looks like, you know, I am Merman, you

01:25:14.800 --> 01:25:17.100
know, and it's kind of like that thing. So yeah,

01:25:17.260 --> 01:25:20.880
and in Seattle, they were the Sonics. Yeah. And

01:25:20.880 --> 01:25:23.239
we're not talking about the shitty burger franchise.

01:25:23.479 --> 01:25:26.220
Right. Isn't that weird? It is strange. They

01:25:26.220 --> 01:25:28.079
don't have like a real thing. They've got like

01:25:28.079 --> 01:25:31.159
the Seattle Saunders as the MLS team. Oh, is

01:25:31.159 --> 01:25:33.979
that what it is? Yeah. The Saunders. Yeah, it's

01:25:33.979 --> 01:25:36.760
spelled like Saunders. Okay. Which is I guess

01:25:36.760 --> 01:25:39.600
a category if you're interested in Puget Sound,

01:25:39.739 --> 01:25:42.520
I guess that. No, sounding is different online.

01:25:42.680 --> 01:25:46.680
Oh, okay. Yeah. Actually, I know they say it's

01:25:46.680 --> 01:25:49.840
Seattle Saunders. Saunders, okay. But if you

01:25:49.840 --> 01:25:51.779
look up on Reddit, which I don't recommend if

01:25:51.779 --> 01:25:54.529
you're under the age of 18. Mm -hmm. or have

01:25:54.529 --> 01:25:57.029
functioning brain cells. But you can look up

01:25:57.029 --> 01:26:00.329
sounding. Sounding. Sounding, which I guess if

01:26:00.329 --> 01:26:03.010
you're sounding, you would be a sounder. It's

01:26:03.010 --> 01:26:06.449
the act of sticking objects into your penis.

01:26:06.869 --> 01:26:11.409
Oh. P -hole. Your urethra. No. That's what sounding

01:26:11.409 --> 01:26:15.010
is. So the Seattle Sounders, I don't want to

01:26:15.010 --> 01:26:17.989
make assumptions. Yeah. But it kind of fits into

01:26:17.989 --> 01:26:19.880
that thing of like, well, that's not... That's

01:26:19.880 --> 01:26:22.239
what we are? We're the Sounders? We're the team

01:26:22.239 --> 01:26:25.260
that puts things in our penis. Yeah, in the urethra.

01:26:26.039 --> 01:26:29.140
No, no. That's a whole thing and that is a real

01:26:29.140 --> 01:26:31.699
thing. No. And they named their team after that.

01:26:31.840 --> 01:26:33.760
Isn't Portland the Timbers? Like that's a cool

01:26:33.760 --> 01:26:38.260
ass name. Like we're the Timbers. Yeah. It sounds

01:26:38.260 --> 01:26:40.060
vicious. Timber, we're cutting down a big tree,

01:26:40.119 --> 01:26:42.939
get out of our way. Yeah. We put things in our

01:26:42.939 --> 01:26:45.319
penis. That's what we do. That's the Seattle

01:26:45.319 --> 01:26:47.060
way, brother. That's the Seattle way. Have a

01:26:47.060 --> 01:26:49.000
cup of coffee and something to put in your cock.

01:26:49.690 --> 01:26:52.930
That's terrible. Average Starbucks fan. That's

01:26:52.930 --> 01:26:57.229
the average. Take that Seattle. Take that. Full

01:26:57.229 --> 01:26:59.529
truth, we do actually love the city. Oh, it's

01:26:59.529 --> 01:27:01.189
gorgeous. We're just throwing shade to throw

01:27:01.189 --> 01:27:03.909
shade. Yeah. But your team has named the Sounders,

01:27:04.270 --> 01:27:06.789
so. Yeah, but... Well, you know, and if Seattle's

01:27:06.789 --> 01:27:07.970
anything like the French, they're all going to

01:27:07.970 --> 01:27:12.329
come after us. Yeah. The French. But like one

01:27:12.329 --> 01:27:13.590
of the beautiful things we love about Seattle

01:27:13.590 --> 01:27:15.390
people, they don't give a shit. Yeah. They just

01:27:15.390 --> 01:27:19.489
do not care. Anyway, we're now on to down the

01:27:19.489 --> 01:27:22.310
Reddit rabbit hole. And Aidan mentioned the said

01:27:22.310 --> 01:27:23.989
Reddit rabbit hole, which can be a dangerous

01:27:23.989 --> 01:27:26.689
place to exist sometimes. But Aidan finds some

01:27:26.689 --> 01:27:30.109
interesting tidbits there. That I do. Yeah. So

01:27:30.109 --> 01:27:32.850
what do you got? Well, going down the Reddit

01:27:32.850 --> 01:27:36.130
rabbit hole. I found a kind of disturbing statistic,

01:27:36.590 --> 01:27:40.010
which I think we've all known is going on. The

01:27:40.010 --> 01:27:42.689
fact that no one can afford anything, let alone

01:27:42.689 --> 01:27:46.510
a house. You know, which people in the 80s could

01:27:46.510 --> 01:27:48.970
buy off of a single income and support a family

01:27:48.970 --> 01:27:52.029
of four. But yeah, no one can afford houses anymore,

01:27:52.090 --> 01:27:56.250
so I found this. Home prices in the 20 largest

01:27:56.250 --> 01:28:00.250
cities. This is the year over year change. Mind

01:28:00.250 --> 01:28:03.130
you. So there are a handful of cities on this

01:28:03.130 --> 01:28:05.109
list where home prices are actually falling.

01:28:05.369 --> 01:28:07.909
People are moving away, they can't fill houses,

01:28:07.949 --> 01:28:12.510
which would be Denver. Home prices fell 2 .2

01:28:12.510 --> 01:28:16.390
% year over year. Oh, okay. Tampa, 2 .1%, I guess

01:28:16.390 --> 01:28:18.289
that has to do with people's hurricane worries.

01:28:18.350 --> 01:28:20.350
Could be. And the fact that insurance companies

01:28:20.350 --> 01:28:22.489
don't actually want to insure houses in Florida

01:28:22.489 --> 01:28:25.229
anymore. Yep, that's a problem. Seattle, home

01:28:25.229 --> 01:28:29.189
prices are falling 2%. Yeah, a lot of that is

01:28:29.189 --> 01:28:31.920
just... pricing in general. Yeah. Because Seattle

01:28:31.920 --> 01:28:34.939
is an expensive city. Right. Phoenix, Dallas,

01:28:35.100 --> 01:28:37.720
Las Vegas have all dropped about one percent.

01:28:38.000 --> 01:28:40.460
Same with Los Angeles, which is surprising. But

01:28:40.460 --> 01:28:42.619
then again, those prices were already way too

01:28:42.619 --> 01:28:44.500
high. Prices are high. It's expensive to live

01:28:44.500 --> 01:28:48.399
there. Now, Miami, year over year, zero percent.

01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:50.239
They've stayed even. They've stayed even. Yeah.

01:28:50.479 --> 01:28:52.460
Here's where it gets a little concerning. San

01:28:52.460 --> 01:28:55.529
Diego. Notably an expensive place to live has

01:28:55.529 --> 01:28:58.289
gone up half a percent Boston and Charlotte have

01:28:58.289 --> 01:29:03.149
both gone up 1 % Minneapolis is up 2 .1 % That's

01:29:03.149 --> 01:29:06.310
interesting because fuckwinter. Yeah, but also

01:29:06.310 --> 01:29:09.930
Minnesota is kind of like the bastion of goodness

01:29:09.930 --> 01:29:13.130
Yeah, I would agree. I would agree with that

01:29:14.199 --> 01:29:16.760
Detroit, this will blow your mind, up two and

01:29:16.760 --> 01:29:19.560
a half percent. That's interesting. That's a

01:29:19.560 --> 01:29:22.539
city that's really on the comeback trail. I'm

01:29:22.539 --> 01:29:25.500
happy for it because I do as much as, here's

01:29:25.500 --> 01:29:30.159
the thing, people in Chicago, we do not like

01:29:30.159 --> 01:29:33.170
Packer fans. Milwaukee that sort of that is like

01:29:33.170 --> 01:29:35.569
a really true rival But like I don't feel like

01:29:35.569 --> 01:29:37.590
we like other than like the Detroit Red Wings

01:29:37.590 --> 01:29:39.229
because we say, you know, fuck the Red Wings.

01:29:39.310 --> 01:29:42.329
Yeah Other than that. I don't think we have like

01:29:42.329 --> 01:29:45.250
this rivalry with Michigan or Detroit. I just

01:29:45.250 --> 01:29:47.750
don't really do I would agree We used we used

01:29:47.750 --> 01:29:50.630
to have like a friendly like Thanksgiving weekend

01:29:50.630 --> 01:29:52.789
where the Bears would play the Lions. Yeah. And

01:29:52.789 --> 01:29:55.329
then the next day, the Blackhawks play the Red

01:29:55.329 --> 01:29:56.729
Wings. So all the Chicago fans would go up there

01:29:56.729 --> 01:30:00.189
for a long weekend. So I feel it's more of a

01:30:00.189 --> 01:30:04.430
friendly rivalry than some of the others. I would

01:30:04.430 --> 01:30:07.350
agree. So I'm happy for the Detroit comeback.

01:30:08.480 --> 01:30:10.560
Cleveland surprised me as well. I guess they're

01:30:10.560 --> 01:30:15.060
back on the up and up. Up 4 .1 % year over year.

01:30:15.300 --> 01:30:17.159
Hey, people like bad football. That's true. Well,

01:30:17.220 --> 01:30:19.180
I guess they're there for other teams. Other

01:30:19.180 --> 01:30:21.560
teams and other things, that's for sure. The

01:30:21.560 --> 01:30:25.479
top two increases in home price year over year.

01:30:25.840 --> 01:30:30.600
New York, 4 .7%, notably already an expensive

01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:34.520
place to live, has jumped almost 5%. Yeah, and

01:30:34.520 --> 01:30:37.720
that's what is hilarious with all the influx

01:30:37.720 --> 01:30:41.020
of jobs, people moving into the city, with how

01:30:41.020 --> 01:30:43.840
everybody was like, oh, this democratic socialist,

01:30:44.100 --> 01:30:45.979
everybody's gonna leave, all the jobs are gonna

01:30:45.979 --> 01:30:48.640
leave, and it's been anything but. Right, right,

01:30:48.699 --> 01:30:52.180
it's booming. Just, yeah, just some people need

01:30:52.180 --> 01:30:57.189
to stop talking. The highest jump. of 5 % year

01:30:57.189 --> 01:31:00.430
-over -year home price, Chicago, Illinois. How

01:31:00.430 --> 01:31:03.729
about that? Chicago, Illinois, which is crazy

01:31:03.729 --> 01:31:07.510
considering if you are a fan here listening in

01:31:07.510 --> 01:31:10.010
Northwest Indiana, Chicagoland. Chicagoland.

01:31:10.029 --> 01:31:13.130
They are building subdivisions everywhere. Everywhere.

01:31:13.350 --> 01:31:17.090
Of people moving out of Illinois to Indiana where

01:31:17.090 --> 01:31:20.229
the taxes are a little lower and sure your commute's

01:31:20.229 --> 01:31:22.659
gonna go up. But you're going to save money on

01:31:22.659 --> 01:31:25.399
property tax and food tax and things like that.

01:31:25.539 --> 01:31:27.520
You'll drive the extra 20 or 30 minutes. Right.

01:31:27.520 --> 01:31:30.960
It's fine. And yet the prices in Chicago are

01:31:30.960 --> 01:31:35.119
still rising. They are. Yeah. Which blew my mind.

01:31:35.359 --> 01:31:37.520
Like, how can both things be true at the same

01:31:37.520 --> 01:31:40.380
time? Exactly. That's what I find fascinating.

01:31:41.439 --> 01:31:43.739
And, you know, for your big cities, you're going

01:31:43.739 --> 01:31:45.520
to have that. And a lot of times, you look at

01:31:45.520 --> 01:31:47.560
the price and you look at demand. So it's kind

01:31:47.560 --> 01:31:50.159
of like, you know, New York and Chicago is still

01:31:50.159 --> 01:31:51.640
in demand, no matter how many people want to

01:31:51.640 --> 01:31:54.260
badmouth those cities. It's like, people still

01:31:54.260 --> 01:31:55.800
want to be there, and they want to be there for

01:31:55.800 --> 01:31:57.720
numerous reasons. They want to be there for the

01:31:57.720 --> 01:32:00.199
jobs. They want to be there for the culture.

01:32:00.420 --> 01:32:02.619
They want to be there for all those reasons.

01:32:03.700 --> 01:32:07.380
And I can't blame them. I mean, I've put a lot

01:32:07.380 --> 01:32:10.239
of thought into potentially moving back to Chicago.

01:32:10.779 --> 01:32:13.319
Once again, would that mean an extra 30 minutes

01:32:13.319 --> 01:32:16.760
for me to get to work? Yep. But would I be happy

01:32:16.760 --> 01:32:19.899
living in a Chicago neighborhood where I don't

01:32:19.899 --> 01:32:22.100
need a car to get around? I can walk, grab a

01:32:22.100 --> 01:32:25.600
bus, grab the L, you know? to have two, three,

01:32:25.699 --> 01:32:28.680
four block walk and have little corner markets

01:32:28.680 --> 01:32:32.420
and restaurants and bars where I can just hang

01:32:32.420 --> 01:32:36.140
out. And to be completely honest, especially

01:32:36.140 --> 01:32:38.020
for people that haven't been to Chicago before,

01:32:38.500 --> 01:32:40.960
and if you go online, you'll get, especially

01:32:40.960 --> 01:32:44.500
the ones where foreigners come to Chicago. I

01:32:44.500 --> 01:32:46.260
don't think I've ever seen one where people come

01:32:46.260 --> 01:32:48.680
here and be like, oh, that city's ass. Everybody's

01:32:48.680 --> 01:32:50.800
blown away by Chicago. They're just like, the

01:32:50.800 --> 01:32:52.779
food, the culture. Why are people so friendly

01:32:52.779 --> 01:32:56.380
here for a big city? I don't get it. And they

01:32:56.380 --> 01:32:59.180
come for the rest. Restaurants absolutely blow

01:32:59.180 --> 01:33:01.319
people away. Oh, yeah. They're just like, what

01:33:01.319 --> 01:33:05.560
is this food? I don't get it. And it's a great

01:33:05.560 --> 01:33:08.520
food city. It's great for culture, things to

01:33:08.520 --> 01:33:12.840
do. The bars are fantastic. Sports teams, often

01:33:12.840 --> 01:33:17.659
not successful, but the event is still fun. It's

01:33:17.659 --> 01:33:21.119
a great city. And as summer cities go, and I've

01:33:21.119 --> 01:33:24.170
been to... I think all of the top 20 cities,

01:33:24.289 --> 01:33:27.210
I think it's the best. Yeah. In the summertime.

01:33:27.510 --> 01:33:30.750
I would agree. 100%. Just an amazing city. So

01:33:30.750 --> 01:33:34.149
I think that demand is still there, even though

01:33:34.149 --> 01:33:37.390
when you look at it, and the politics is probably

01:33:37.390 --> 01:33:41.640
the worst part. politics like cost Chicago like

01:33:41.640 --> 01:33:43.699
big -time businesses and they move out of the

01:33:43.699 --> 01:33:46.060
state right and they move out of the city and

01:33:46.060 --> 01:33:48.439
they're about to lose a sports franchise because

01:33:48.439 --> 01:33:50.979
they're playing politics half of that is Chicago

01:33:50.979 --> 01:33:53.720
half that is the state of Illinois yes a hundred

01:33:53.720 --> 01:33:55.760
percent and people want to sit there and fault

01:33:55.760 --> 01:33:58.420
the Bears was like look you know the Bears almost

01:33:58.420 --> 01:34:00.960
made my top ten that they really did because

01:34:00.960 --> 01:34:05.380
I do fault that ownership a lot for shit that's

01:34:05.380 --> 01:34:07.380
happened But here's the thing. This is what I

01:34:07.380 --> 01:34:10.100
don't fault them for. They're a business. They're

01:34:10.100 --> 01:34:13.079
a business. And if the neighboring state and

01:34:13.079 --> 01:34:15.199
you're going to be located, what, three miles

01:34:15.199 --> 01:34:17.399
from the border and you're going to put up this

01:34:17.399 --> 01:34:20.920
beautiful new stadium and it's a better deal

01:34:20.920 --> 01:34:23.739
all the way around, you're going to be more profitable.

01:34:23.939 --> 01:34:25.560
It's going to be a nicer stadium. It's a good

01:34:25.560 --> 01:34:29.819
location. Everything works out. Why? Why do you

01:34:29.819 --> 01:34:32.119
not take the better deal? Oh, we're just going

01:34:32.119 --> 01:34:34.560
to take a worse deal to stay where we're at.

01:34:34.779 --> 01:34:40.020
Why? Right. Put your business owner hat on people,

01:34:40.560 --> 01:34:43.000
and be like, look, if you had a better deal over

01:34:43.000 --> 01:34:45.699
here, you're gonna turn that down because, oh,

01:34:45.720 --> 01:34:47.880
you wax poetic for the past and being in Illinois,

01:34:48.039 --> 01:34:51.960
fuck Illinois. You don't need to be there. Oh,

01:34:51.960 --> 01:34:53.819
they can't take the name Chicago, fuck they can.

01:34:54.479 --> 01:34:57.039
It's called a trademark, dumbasses. They can

01:34:57.039 --> 01:34:58.640
play on the fucking moon and call themselves

01:34:58.640 --> 01:35:00.659
the Chicago Bears. Both New York teams play in

01:35:00.659 --> 01:35:03.359
Jersey. Right. San Fran doesn't play in San Fran.

01:35:03.359 --> 01:35:06.159
Santa Clara. Yeah. Dallas plays in Arlington.

01:35:06.300 --> 01:35:08.619
You could go right down the damn list. Yeah.

01:35:09.020 --> 01:35:11.319
And so I just I get fed up with it. It's so stupid.

01:35:11.659 --> 01:35:12.920
How many people have been like, well, they better

01:35:12.920 --> 01:35:14.939
change their name to the Arlington Bears. Nobody

01:35:14.939 --> 01:35:17.159
said that. Right. But now they're going Indiana.

01:35:17.300 --> 01:35:19.899
Well, you better just shut up. I mean, that's

01:35:19.899 --> 01:35:22.720
look, Chicago people are great. They really are.

01:35:22.859 --> 01:35:25.840
You can go into the neighborhoods ethnic like

01:35:25.840 --> 01:35:28.640
it's just a melting pot. It's great. And almost

01:35:28.640 --> 01:35:31.710
everybody. is Midwestern nice for a big city.

01:35:31.789 --> 01:35:34.649
It's a weird thing. I get it. But when it comes

01:35:34.649 --> 01:35:38.329
to sports, their sports base does tend to get

01:35:38.329 --> 01:35:41.529
somewhat idiotic. And I think, so when Packer

01:35:41.529 --> 01:35:44.010
fans come here and other fans come here and they

01:35:44.010 --> 01:35:47.729
say bad things, I just go, I can't disagree with

01:35:47.729 --> 01:35:50.569
them. I'm sure you're probably right. You know,

01:35:50.590 --> 01:35:53.189
they're probably dicks. I get it. I totally get

01:35:53.189 --> 01:35:55.590
it. They put their sports gear on and they turn

01:35:55.590 --> 01:35:58.029
into fucking idiots. So I get it. This is true.

01:35:58.159 --> 01:36:00.960
Yeah, but that is fascinating. Yeah, I agree.

01:36:01.979 --> 01:36:04.680
Yeah. All right, so before we take our break

01:36:04.680 --> 01:36:07.239
and move to the last part of our show, while

01:36:07.239 --> 01:36:10.119
you were sleeping. So oftentimes we cuddle up

01:36:10.119 --> 01:36:13.819
and we snore and we sleep and we, but when we

01:36:13.819 --> 01:36:16.960
do that, we miss stuff. Yes, this is true. Whether

01:36:16.960 --> 01:36:20.140
it's a hunk shoe or a hunk me, me, me. You snore

01:36:20.140 --> 01:36:22.819
and you're sleeping on it. This guy never sleeps.

01:36:23.000 --> 01:36:25.970
Damn right. He's on it. So if it's a YouTuber,

01:36:26.390 --> 01:36:29.430
if it's a TV show, if it's a movie, if it's a

01:36:29.430 --> 01:36:32.329
book, if it's a game, this dude's on that shit.

01:36:32.829 --> 01:36:36.310
What did we miss? I have an interesting one for

01:36:36.310 --> 01:36:38.510
you today. While you were sleeping, everybody

01:36:38.510 --> 01:36:41.289
out there seems to have forgotten, well, at least

01:36:41.289 --> 01:36:43.029
most people out there seem to have forgotten,

01:36:43.729 --> 01:36:48.829
how incredible physical media is. I'm talking

01:36:48.829 --> 01:36:53.539
DVDs. Digital video disc. Yeah, baby. Invented

01:36:53.539 --> 01:36:59.460
in the mid -90s. First released in 1996 in Japan.

01:36:59.699 --> 01:37:04.100
Bring that shit back. Bring it back. I hate the

01:37:04.100 --> 01:37:07.439
subscription -based digital only. You need an

01:37:07.439 --> 01:37:09.760
internet connection to access the content you

01:37:09.760 --> 01:37:13.260
pay for. It's fucking asinine. Yeah. When I purchase

01:37:13.260 --> 01:37:15.220
a movie, I wish to be able to play the movie

01:37:15.220 --> 01:37:18.340
whether or not I have internet, whether or not...

01:37:18.340 --> 01:37:22.000
It's... Oh, you need the DRM background to be

01:37:22.000 --> 01:37:25.680
able to play this. That's stupid. Oh, yeah. DVDs

01:37:25.680 --> 01:37:28.880
came out in the 90s and they still hold up. Yes,

01:37:28.880 --> 01:37:32.399
they do. They still hold up. DVDs can hold up

01:37:32.399 --> 01:37:37.180
to eight and a half gigabytes. Yeah. Of data.

01:37:37.260 --> 01:37:40.720
And then in the mid 2000s, I believe, we had

01:37:40.720 --> 01:37:46.340
Blu -rays. Right. Which is a DVD adjacent similar

01:37:46.340 --> 01:37:50.340
technology. It's optical media. but it uses a

01:37:50.340 --> 01:37:54.560
blue laser. Correct. Thus blue ray. And with

01:37:54.560 --> 01:37:56.479
the smaller wavelength of the laser, you can

01:37:56.479 --> 01:37:59.960
pack more data onto the disk. Correct. And blue

01:37:59.960 --> 01:38:03.529
rays... Not only for movies being much more high

01:38:03.529 --> 01:38:07.149
definition, and you can pack longer movies onto

01:38:07.149 --> 01:38:10.529
it, they are versatile enough. Blue -rays have

01:38:10.529 --> 01:38:14.069
been used for printing PlayStation 3, 4, and

01:38:14.069 --> 01:38:18.069
5 video games, and Xbox One and Xbox Series video

01:38:18.069 --> 01:38:21.789
games. Blue -rays are still widely used. Yeah.

01:38:22.310 --> 01:38:25.109
And I wanted to bring this up because of something

01:38:25.109 --> 01:38:28.760
that has been taking me off recently. Which is

01:38:28.760 --> 01:38:30.939
exactly as I brought up before, the subscription

01:38:30.939 --> 01:38:33.720
service. Like every month you put tens and tens,

01:38:33.979 --> 01:38:36.260
dozens and dozens of dollars into different subscription

01:38:36.260 --> 01:38:38.600
services, which may or may not have a server

01:38:38.600 --> 01:38:41.359
outage when you want to watch something. Or like,

01:38:41.420 --> 01:38:43.819
hey, why purchase this movie? Oh, it's not available

01:38:43.819 --> 01:38:47.359
in your region anymore. Right, exactly. I should

01:38:47.359 --> 01:38:50.800
have it. That's right. And there are some haters

01:38:50.800 --> 01:38:54.180
out there, I have seen, that don't like optical

01:38:54.180 --> 01:38:56.939
media. I mean supporters of physical media, but

01:38:56.939 --> 01:38:59.260
don't like optical media because it can degrade

01:38:59.260 --> 01:39:01.479
over time, you get a scratch on the disc, you're

01:39:01.479 --> 01:39:04.220
kind of fucked. But what you can do when you

01:39:04.220 --> 01:39:07.739
own a physical copy of a piece of art, whether

01:39:07.739 --> 01:39:13.239
that's a video game or that's a movie, you can

01:39:13.239 --> 01:39:17.539
rip that onto a computer. So you have the full

01:39:17.539 --> 01:39:20.659
HD version. So you can not only have the optical

01:39:20.659 --> 01:39:23.039
disc, which I believe DVDs and Blu -rays last

01:39:23.039 --> 01:39:26.130
for... Decades before they start degrading and

01:39:26.130 --> 01:39:28.850
you can have the digital copy which by the way

01:39:28.850 --> 01:39:32.409
fully legal You can you can rip any DVD or any

01:39:32.409 --> 01:39:35.270
blue shirt purchase. Yep any of them you can

01:39:35.270 --> 01:39:37.149
rip that It's yours because you're not distributing

01:39:37.149 --> 01:39:40.149
it if you offered up as a torrent. Well, that's

01:39:40.149 --> 01:39:42.949
a little yeah I won't publicly recommend you

01:39:42.949 --> 01:39:45.590
do that. Right, correct but you can rip all of

01:39:45.590 --> 01:39:48.369
that and then you have the Physical and the digital

01:39:48.369 --> 01:39:51.970
copy that no dogshit big tech company can take

01:39:51.970 --> 01:39:54.880
away from you. That's right I want people to

01:39:54.880 --> 01:39:59.039
re -appreciate physical media. I agree. Once

01:39:59.039 --> 01:40:01.220
you start on the DVDs, I'm like, I can go right

01:40:01.220 --> 01:40:05.939
there with CDs and vinyls, too. Because sure,

01:40:06.140 --> 01:40:08.739
you can go to Spotify. Well, I've got this list

01:40:08.739 --> 01:40:10.520
and that list. But I'm going to tell you something.

01:40:11.079 --> 01:40:14.539
There's something to be said for playing, God

01:40:14.539 --> 01:40:19.439
forbid, an album. Right. So like literally grabbing

01:40:19.439 --> 01:40:22.859
Pearl Jam's 10, grabbing ACDC Black, Back in

01:40:22.859 --> 01:40:27.140
Black, or grabbing just some classic album and

01:40:27.140 --> 01:40:30.779
listening to it front to back. Grabbing Guns

01:40:30.779 --> 01:40:32.880
N' Roses and listening to Welcome to the Jungle

01:40:32.880 --> 01:40:35.899
and Number of the Beast. Grabbing Number of the

01:40:35.899 --> 01:40:39.079
Beast, right? It's amazing. Or like, for example,

01:40:39.720 --> 01:40:42.319
Queensryche, Operation Mindcrime. It's a rock

01:40:42.319 --> 01:40:45.899
opera. One song goes into the next. There's something

01:40:45.899 --> 01:40:48.619
to be said with that. And just sometimes the

01:40:48.619 --> 01:40:51.739
sound that you can get out of a vinyl, I just,

01:40:51.960 --> 01:40:54.840
I prefer it. I just do. So I'm right there with

01:40:54.840 --> 01:40:57.819
you. I mean, it's physical media I think needs

01:40:57.819 --> 01:41:00.239
to kind of make a comeback. Yeah, the digital

01:41:00.239 --> 01:41:02.760
stuff's more convenient, but guess what? Sometimes

01:41:02.760 --> 01:41:05.770
it isn't accessible. Right. You know? Right.

01:41:05.869 --> 01:41:07.970
Your internet drops out. Maybe the servers on

01:41:07.970 --> 01:41:10.470
their end drop out. Yep. Maybe it gets sold to

01:41:10.470 --> 01:41:12.510
a different company. You can't access the thing

01:41:12.510 --> 01:41:15.449
you purchased because, oh, well Netflix doesn't

01:41:15.449 --> 01:41:18.609
want to talk to Sony. Exactly. Yeah. You're right.

01:41:18.649 --> 01:41:22.649
It is irritating. And you never own anything.

01:41:22.949 --> 01:41:27.189
If you purchase a movie to play on, say Paramount

01:41:27.189 --> 01:41:30.390
Plus, and you cancel your Paramount Plus subscription,

01:41:30.729 --> 01:41:32.649
do you think you can log back on and watch that

01:41:32.649 --> 01:41:36.479
movie? You cannot. No! You cannot. No. No. You

01:41:36.479 --> 01:41:39.619
are indebted for life to be entertained. I think

01:41:39.619 --> 01:41:42.319
that's wrong. Yep. I'm right there with you.

01:41:42.619 --> 01:41:44.779
All right. That was awesome, dude. Well done

01:41:44.779 --> 01:41:47.800
on that. We definitely share that for sure. We're

01:41:47.800 --> 01:41:49.920
going to take a quick break and we come back.

01:41:49.939 --> 01:41:52.579
We're going to finish with our beer review and

01:41:52.579 --> 01:41:58.159
the world of weird news. All right. We are back

01:41:58.159 --> 01:42:04.189
home stretch of episode six. No, season six,

01:42:04.390 --> 01:42:08.149
episode nine of the Mark Mo Show. I'm your host,

01:42:08.310 --> 01:42:10.670
Mark Maloney, along with Abe Maloney. Two quick

01:42:10.670 --> 01:42:13.390
notes before we kick off this awesome beer review.

01:42:14.930 --> 01:42:18.250
Number one, one of our favorite bars is going

01:42:18.250 --> 01:42:20.390
to be no longer in a couple of weeks. That is

01:42:20.390 --> 01:42:23.630
the Zombie Club in Crown Point, Indiana. A lot

01:42:23.630 --> 01:42:27.869
of bullshittery surrounds that. Controversy,

01:42:27.890 --> 01:42:30.609
if you will. Definite, definite controversy,

01:42:30.630 --> 01:42:34.189
for sure. Someone buying the actual building

01:42:34.189 --> 01:42:36.130
and then telling them to get the fuck out and

01:42:36.130 --> 01:42:38.689
it's just a bunch of bullshit. But I got good

01:42:38.689 --> 01:42:40.739
friends that... are no longer going to be there

01:42:40.739 --> 01:42:42.899
because there is no longer going to be a there.

01:42:43.600 --> 01:42:49.800
So that definitely sucks hard. So Northwest Indiana

01:42:49.800 --> 01:42:52.600
people definitely pay respects over these next

01:42:52.600 --> 01:42:56.079
two weeks. Go in there and grab a beer and enjoy

01:42:56.079 --> 01:43:00.060
it while it's still around for sure. And then

01:43:00.060 --> 01:43:03.060
I just want to say we did this dive bar bus tour,

01:43:03.420 --> 01:43:06.220
which is in our last episode, kind of us on the

01:43:06.220 --> 01:43:11.289
road with it. which was a lot of fun. And we

01:43:11.289 --> 01:43:14.449
may have a replacement once said bar closes.

01:43:14.850 --> 01:43:18.130
There's a place called Strikers in Crown Point.

01:43:18.670 --> 01:43:20.770
It is from the owner of a place called Registry,

01:43:20.890 --> 01:43:23.130
which used to be another kind of a classic dive

01:43:23.130 --> 01:43:27.479
bar in the square. I don't know. I like the vibe.

01:43:27.640 --> 01:43:29.600
It's kind of a cool space. All the bartenders

01:43:29.600 --> 01:43:32.300
are super nice. And the only thing we didn't

01:43:32.300 --> 01:43:34.579
try was, well, we kind of sort of tried the food.

01:43:34.680 --> 01:43:36.779
They had snacks. They had snacks. They had a

01:43:36.779 --> 01:43:39.920
nice little spread for us. But I've seen their

01:43:39.920 --> 01:43:42.500
burgers and stuff online. So they look really

01:43:42.500 --> 01:43:46.359
good. So I definitely want to give them another

01:43:46.359 --> 01:43:50.380
try. And you should too. Anyone in the region.

01:43:50.399 --> 01:43:52.000
That's right. Or just come over from Chicago.

01:43:52.039 --> 01:43:55.050
Why not? Yeah, no no question. It's not that

01:43:55.050 --> 01:43:57.369
far. I mean if you're there to watch the football

01:43:57.369 --> 01:44:02.710
game Because we have your team You know that's

01:44:02.710 --> 01:44:04.970
just kind of the way it is hashtag coming for

01:44:04.970 --> 01:44:08.979
socks next Yeah, that's just kind of Kind of

01:44:08.979 --> 01:44:10.859
the way it's going to be. The cookie crumble.

01:44:11.140 --> 01:44:12.199
It's the way a cookie crumbles. So definitely

01:44:12.199 --> 01:44:15.500
check out Strikers. Very, very cool place. And

01:44:15.500 --> 01:44:17.140
always tip your bartenders. Don't be a cheap

01:44:17.140 --> 01:44:19.920
asshole. All right, beer review. What do we got,

01:44:20.000 --> 01:44:22.979
Aidan? The official beer review. Today we are

01:44:22.979 --> 01:44:26.979
trying an IPA that we have not tried yet, but

01:44:26.979 --> 01:44:30.600
it is from a familiar brand. It's called Invincible

01:44:30.600 --> 01:44:34.420
versus Voodoo Ranger. It's from the New Belgium

01:44:34.420 --> 01:44:37.060
Brewing Company out of Fort Collins, Colorado,

01:44:37.220 --> 01:44:39.840
US of A. Let's go. And we have tried a couple

01:44:39.840 --> 01:44:42.340
different Voodoo Ranger products before, but

01:44:42.340 --> 01:44:45.279
this is one we have not. It is a blood orange

01:44:45.279 --> 01:44:48.680
IPA. Okay. Blood orange, a fun flavor, a fun

01:44:48.680 --> 01:44:52.039
fruit, if you will. It is, oh yeah. 8 % ABV,

01:44:52.060 --> 01:44:54.260
so it's a little bit higher on that sliding scale.

01:44:55.739 --> 01:44:58.500
The... There's like 400 -some -odd check -ins

01:44:58.500 --> 01:45:00.659
to this beer on untapped. We're using the app

01:45:00.659 --> 01:45:03.020
on our phones. Not sponsored, but wish we could

01:45:03.020 --> 01:45:06.979
be. Everyone has rated this a 3 .7 on average.

01:45:07.359 --> 01:45:09.699
Okay, that's a pretty high average. Pretty high

01:45:09.699 --> 01:45:11.939
average. So we will be trying it for you, ranking

01:45:11.939 --> 01:45:14.800
it on a scale from 0 to 5, giving you some tasting

01:45:14.800 --> 01:45:19.220
notes. Cracker open. Let's freakin' go chat.

01:45:20.140 --> 01:45:22.399
And Slantja... Slantja to you, sir. Let us know

01:45:22.399 --> 01:45:24.760
in the comments what you, lovely viewer, are

01:45:24.760 --> 01:45:29.479
enjoying today. Ooh. Ooh, citrusy on the nose.

01:45:29.720 --> 01:45:31.680
For sure. More on the nose than the palate, for

01:45:31.680 --> 01:45:34.899
sure. I agree. Yeah, the palate is a little piney.

01:45:35.039 --> 01:45:40.779
Mm -hmm. So whatever hops they use tend, to my

01:45:40.779 --> 01:45:43.840
first sip, drown out the blood orange. To overwhelm.

01:45:43.840 --> 01:45:46.279
Yeah. Blood orange is kind of a delicate flavor

01:45:46.279 --> 01:45:50.560
anyway. Yes. And unless it's very prevalent,

01:45:50.600 --> 01:45:53.140
it could just be mistaken for like orange, naval

01:45:53.140 --> 01:45:56.859
orange. Agreed. So yeah, more piney on the palate,

01:45:56.920 --> 01:45:59.100
very nice smell. And we're drinking it out of

01:45:59.100 --> 01:46:00.920
the can. It's not like we have our beer steins

01:46:00.920 --> 01:46:03.859
with us today. But yeah, I was expecting like

01:46:03.859 --> 01:46:06.180
a punch in the face of blood orange. I was too.

01:46:06.359 --> 01:46:09.300
But it is, because the can, by the way, really

01:46:09.300 --> 01:46:11.659
cool art. Such a cool can, yeah. If anyone out

01:46:11.659 --> 01:46:14.079
there is familiar with the Voodoo Ranger art

01:46:14.079 --> 01:46:16.800
style, there's this little skeleton man, and

01:46:16.800 --> 01:46:20.060
he's fighting this superhero dude or supervillain,

01:46:20.600 --> 01:46:23.359
and the Voodoo Ranger guy is squeezing a blood

01:46:23.359 --> 01:46:27.539
orange, and it looks Neat. But the blood orange

01:46:27.539 --> 01:46:30.420
is kind of muted. It's muted. Like I said, more

01:46:30.420 --> 01:46:34.739
on the nose, but... It is smooth. Yeah, it's

01:46:34.739 --> 01:46:37.920
not bad. For being 8%, I couldn't tell you that

01:46:37.920 --> 01:46:42.260
it was. Right. It's not light. It is full -bodied.

01:46:42.579 --> 01:46:46.739
But it's smooth. Like, we noted the hoppy, piney

01:46:46.739 --> 01:46:49.760
flavor. But it's not bitter. I'm not getting

01:46:49.760 --> 01:46:53.880
bitter at all. No. Because some of the there's

01:46:53.880 --> 01:46:57.000
flavor profiles on the app and None of the ones

01:46:57.000 --> 01:46:59.220
that are on here. I would I don't think I'd pick

01:46:59.220 --> 01:47:03.819
Like one is blood orange only on the nose Citrusy

01:47:03.819 --> 01:47:08.279
not overly bitter not necessarily. No, there's

01:47:08.279 --> 01:47:10.180
refreshing and clean. I could buy either one

01:47:10.180 --> 01:47:14.119
of those Sure, I'd give I'd give refreshing.

01:47:14.319 --> 01:47:17.779
It's for being a heavier ABV and a fuller body

01:47:17.779 --> 01:47:20.819
beer you wouldn't necessarily assume, like, oh,

01:47:20.840 --> 01:47:23.939
this is a summery one. But it is kind of refreshing

01:47:23.939 --> 01:47:26.859
and clean in those ways. Sure. Oh, yeah. Where,

01:47:26.920 --> 01:47:29.340
like, the bitterness isn't overwhelming you,

01:47:29.479 --> 01:47:32.960
and it's not syrupy like some of the sweet beers

01:47:32.960 --> 01:47:36.140
can be. That's true. Yeah, I would disagree with

01:47:36.140 --> 01:47:38.939
Blood Orange. I'm going to give it orange because

01:47:38.939 --> 01:47:42.020
that was the one note I got. OK. I'll give it

01:47:42.020 --> 01:47:47.609
orange, smooth, refreshing, and clean. I'll give

01:47:47.609 --> 01:47:51.270
it three seven five out of five. Yeah, my flavor

01:47:51.270 --> 01:47:54.409
profiles. I pick clean hoppy and piney That's

01:47:54.409 --> 01:47:57.949
fair. Yeah, we're my three and I gave it a straight

01:47:57.949 --> 01:48:01.390
three which I mean IPAs are not your typical

01:48:01.390 --> 01:48:03.750
go -to So that's still married at three to three

01:48:03.750 --> 01:48:06.829
to five is about as high as I go on an IPA So

01:48:06.829 --> 01:48:10.170
yeah, just as reference because just like people

01:48:10.170 --> 01:48:13.250
that I don't know, sample pizza, you know, and

01:48:13.250 --> 01:48:15.569
people that sample beer. Everybody has their

01:48:15.569 --> 01:48:17.449
favorites or things that are in their wheelhouse.

01:48:17.869 --> 01:48:20.729
And so the grading scale skews a little bit,

01:48:20.789 --> 01:48:22.210
depending on what your preferences are. Sure,

01:48:22.409 --> 01:48:26.569
sure. I would agree. But overall not bad. Yeah.

01:48:26.789 --> 01:48:29.210
If it was more, if it punched me more with Blood

01:48:29.210 --> 01:48:33.130
Orange, I'd break into the fours. Yeah. But it's

01:48:33.130 --> 01:48:38.020
a good IPA. It's smooth. The pine was... I guess

01:48:38.020 --> 01:48:40.140
it shouldn't be surprising because it's an IPA

01:48:40.140 --> 01:48:43.079
and most of them are piney and limey. But if

01:48:43.079 --> 01:48:45.500
I hear blood orange IPA, I'm expecting blood

01:48:45.500 --> 01:48:48.739
orange IPA. So that was slightly unfortunate.

01:48:49.199 --> 01:48:52.069
Yep. Oh, yeah. And we do get badges. We do. On

01:48:52.069 --> 01:48:55.069
the untapped app for checking into X style of

01:48:55.069 --> 01:48:58.310
beer a certain amount of times or drinking X

01:48:58.310 --> 01:49:00.930
out of the bottle a certain amount of times.

01:49:01.510 --> 01:49:03.630
Yes. What have you got today? I have the World

01:49:03.630 --> 01:49:07.470
Pint 2026 United States. Congrats, you've unlocked

01:49:07.470 --> 01:49:11.630

biggest watch party level up match day and tap

01:49:14.810 --> 01:49:17.829
freshly brewed craft beer with Pinter straight

01:49:17.829 --> 01:49:21.739
from your fridge for kickoff. They don't kick

01:49:21.739 --> 01:49:26.060
off. The rest of it, yeah. Sorry. Grab our tournament

01:49:26.060 --> 01:49:29.800
brew schedule and build the perfect home stadium

01:49:29.800 --> 01:49:32.260
setup. So obviously that's for the World Cup.

01:49:32.260 --> 01:49:34.859
It's World Cup, yeah. And the next one is ales

01:49:34.859 --> 01:49:40.039
for ALS. This check -in meant something. Brewery

01:49:40.039 --> 01:49:43.220
is a proud partner of Ales for ALS, which helps

01:49:43.220 --> 01:49:46.300
raise funds for critical research toward finding

01:49:46.300 --> 01:49:50.180
a cure for ALS. Every unique check -in of drinks

01:49:50.180 --> 01:49:53.079
from a participating brewery levels up your badge.

01:49:53.199 --> 01:49:56.020
So keep exploring, find the full list of participating

01:49:56.020 --> 01:49:58.920
breweries near you, and please consider making

01:49:58.920 --> 01:50:01.319
a donation to support their mission. So those

01:50:01.319 --> 01:50:03.699
are the ones I got this week. That's nice. So

01:50:03.699 --> 01:50:05.279
those are good. Those might be my two favorites

01:50:05.279 --> 01:50:07.529
that I've gotten. That's kind of cool. I got

01:50:07.529 --> 01:50:10.689
those two as well. I got a badge for Cheers to

01:50:10.689 --> 01:50:13.909

01:50:14.130 --> 01:50:17.149
alright. Cheers, brew patriot! You're supporting

01:50:17.149 --> 01:50:19.510
the small independent American craft brewer.

01:50:19.810 --> 01:50:22.069
When you see the seal shaped like an upside -A

01:50:22.069 --> 01:50:24.270
and beer bottle, that's independence you're tasting.

01:50:24.720 --> 01:50:27.220
Well, very fun. I love it. I like that. I love

01:50:27.220 --> 01:50:30.380
it. And then I have fruits of your label. Labor.

01:50:30.680 --> 01:50:33.640
Okay. Level 8. It's been a long day now and it's

01:50:33.640 --> 01:50:36.340
time to enjoy a reward. Crisp, tasty, and refreshing.

01:50:36.479 --> 01:50:40.140
Enjoy that delicious fruit beer. I love it. Hell

01:50:40.140 --> 01:50:42.840
yeah. I'm in. What level was that? Level 8. Ocho.

01:50:42.840 --> 01:50:47.510
Level 8. Okay. ESPN8, the Ocho. Well, very good.

01:50:47.829 --> 01:50:50.909
Well, yeah, if you get this blood orange IPA,

01:50:50.989 --> 01:50:53.750
you like IPAs, give this one a try. Like I said,

01:50:53.789 --> 01:50:55.930
more on the nose than the palate, but still pretty

01:50:55.930 --> 01:50:58.130
refreshing. Yeah, I would agree. Very smooth

01:50:58.130 --> 01:51:03.470
for an IPA. We're now on to our finale, which

01:51:03.470 --> 01:51:06.909
is always, almost always, sometimes we do a tier

01:51:06.909 --> 01:51:10.310
list, the World of Weird News here on the Mark

01:51:10.310 --> 01:51:15.050
Mo Show. And mine's kind of fun. Typically the

01:51:15.050 --> 01:51:17.670
one making arrest, Detective Michael DiBiase

01:51:17.670 --> 01:51:21.609
46 found himself on the receiving end of handcuffs

01:51:21.609 --> 01:51:25.069
after pointing his gun at a fellow officer for

01:51:25.069 --> 01:51:31.310
reheating fish in the microwave. I would do that

01:51:31.310 --> 01:51:33.510
too. I am right there with you, dude. Is that

01:51:33.510 --> 01:51:39.170
salmon? put it down put the fish down on saturday

01:51:39.170 --> 01:51:42.729
may uh may 30th db asi was at the myrtle beach

01:51:42.729 --> 01:51:45.149
south carolina police headquarter when he engaged

01:51:45.149 --> 01:51:48.189
in a confrontation with a patrolman according

01:51:48.189 --> 01:51:50.689
to the police report db asi confronted the unnamed

01:51:50.689 --> 01:51:53.729
officer about warming up fish in the microwave,

01:51:54.149 --> 01:51:57.310
causing an odor in the office. During the confrontation,

01:51:57.569 --> 01:52:00.250
Detective DiBiase drew and pointed his department

01:52:00.250 --> 01:52:04.069
-issued handgun. He was arrested for allegedly

01:52:04.069 --> 01:52:06.789
pointing and presenting a firearm at a person,

01:52:07.189 --> 01:52:10.130
but was released without bail. He was placed

01:52:10.130 --> 01:52:13.050
on administrative leave and subsequently terminated

01:52:13.050 --> 01:52:16.010
from his position after an investigation yielded

01:52:16.010 --> 01:52:20.439
other policy violations. Not a lie. How long

01:52:20.439 --> 01:52:23.600
was this dude the office bully? Right, you know

01:52:23.600 --> 01:52:25.840
granted don't heat up fish in the microwave.

01:52:25.899 --> 01:52:28.979
That's a bad move That is unsportsmanlike. That's

01:52:28.979 --> 01:52:32.029
nasty as shit. Yeah unsportsmanlike But then

01:52:32.029 --> 01:52:34.189
again, you can't point a gun at people. You cannot.

01:52:34.210 --> 01:52:37.050
Are you fucking crazy? That's crazy. It took

01:52:37.050 --> 01:52:40.210
him pointing a gun at a different officer for

01:52:40.210 --> 01:52:42.869
them to finally be like, I think we've had enough.

01:52:43.470 --> 01:52:46.210
No. Hey, what's wrong? Think it out, man. You

01:52:46.210 --> 01:52:47.630
have to know that it's going to end badly for

01:52:47.630 --> 01:52:50.529
you. Why not grab a jar of cayenne pepper when

01:52:50.529 --> 01:52:52.250
that dude pulls that shit out and just cover

01:52:52.250 --> 01:52:54.569
his fish? Right. Be like, enjoy. That's for you.

01:52:54.789 --> 01:52:57.529
Enjoy, you stinky bastard. Literally, there's

01:52:57.529 --> 01:52:59.470
other ways to go about this. It makes me wonder

01:52:59.470 --> 01:53:03.189
what DeBiase's done in the past. I wonder. Maybe

01:53:03.189 --> 01:53:05.869
there might have to be a follow up. Yeah. There

01:53:05.869 --> 01:53:07.970
might have to be. The history of Debiase. The

01:53:07.970 --> 01:53:14.510
history of. Mark Mosho, true crime. Volume two.

01:53:15.810 --> 01:53:19.880
Debiase's past. Debiase's past. TBSI once fell

01:53:19.880 --> 01:53:23.020
into a fish van. No, we don't know. Cannot confirm

01:53:23.020 --> 01:53:24.340
that. To point his gun at the fish. To point

01:53:24.340 --> 01:53:27.220
his gun at the fish. Why are you so stinky, he

01:53:27.220 --> 01:53:29.600
said underwater? Because he had an issue with

01:53:29.600 --> 01:53:32.060
a catfish that he named Shiloh. No, we don't

01:53:32.060 --> 01:53:35.600
know. We have no idea. At any rate, Aidan, close

01:53:35.600 --> 01:53:39.220
us out, man. I've got a story here. Oklahoma

01:53:39.220 --> 01:53:42.520
family's dog carries live armadillo into the

01:53:42.520 --> 01:53:48.159
house. This is a story from June 19th. So, like,

01:53:48.199 --> 01:53:52.819
right now. Yeah. An Oklahoma family's home security

01:53:52.819 --> 01:53:55.439
camera recorded the moment their dog carried

01:53:55.439 --> 01:53:58.720
a live armadillo into the house, eliciting panic

01:53:58.720 --> 01:54:03.500
and screams. Wow. Mind you, if you lovely listener

01:54:03.500 --> 01:54:05.500
out there, go out and watch the video. It's great.

01:54:06.220 --> 01:54:08.880
There is a full video of this security camera.

01:54:09.800 --> 01:54:12.920
Alicia Napier shared a video to social media

01:54:12.920 --> 01:54:15.960
showing the moment her family dog, Bingo, strolled

01:54:15.960 --> 01:54:19.520
through the front door of their Allen home carrying

01:54:19.520 --> 01:54:22.930
a live armadillo in his mouth. The video shows

01:54:22.930 --> 01:54:25.189
the family erupting into panic on the front lawn

01:54:25.189 --> 01:54:28.189
with children running around and screaming. Oh

01:54:28.189 --> 01:54:32.869
my God. Bingo, the bright lad he was and is,

01:54:33.069 --> 01:54:36.109
hearing the commotion comes back outside of the

01:54:36.109 --> 01:54:40.350
family home, but without the armadillo. Oh no.

01:54:41.149 --> 01:54:43.569
Nepeir said in a second video that the family

01:54:43.569 --> 01:54:47.430
was able to coax Bingo into retrieving the animal

01:54:47.430 --> 01:54:51.079
and carrying it back outside. She said the dog

01:54:51.079 --> 01:54:55.140
eventually dropped the armadillo, which was last

01:54:55.140 --> 01:54:58.180
seen scurrying into their neighbor's yard. Oh,

01:54:58.180 --> 01:55:03.680
no. Oh, no. Holy hell. That's hilarious. God

01:55:03.680 --> 01:55:06.560
bless Bingo. God bless Bingo. I mean, Bingo's

01:55:06.560 --> 01:55:08.140
making friends. What's wrong with that? Yeah,

01:55:08.140 --> 01:55:11.039
I know. He's like, he's taking the armadillo

01:55:11.039 --> 01:55:14.199
inside to show his fam. That's it. Like, yo,

01:55:14.199 --> 01:55:16.800
look what I found. I found a new homie. He was

01:55:16.800 --> 01:55:18.220

Bingo, by the way. Name's Bingo, come on in.

yeah, thanks, guys. Thanks for listening in.

And I'm... I've had a lot of sleep, so I was

01:56:45.699 --> 01:56:46.920
about to say I'm gonna go take a nap, but I don't

01:56:46.920 --> 01:56:48.579
think I'm gonna take a nap. I think it's a poor

01:56:48.579 --> 01:56:50.359
decision. I think, yeah, I think that'd be bad.

01:56:50.500 --> 01:56:52.899
I think we just need to drink. Yeah. All right,

01:56:52.939 --> 01:56:53.479
