00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:10.320
Hey there, everybody, and welcome to the Mark

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:15.160
Moe Show, Season 7, Episode 5, Pipebomb! You can

00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.219
find us on all podcast platforms and YouTube.

00:00:17.579 --> 00:00:20.300
I'd like to introduce to you my co -host and

00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:23.059
producer, Aidan Maloney. What's going on, dude?

00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:25.839
How are you? Hola. I'm chilling, feeling like

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:28.800
a normal human being today. Oh, I bet you are.

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.280
Yeah, about as normal as one can feel. I know.

00:00:32.619 --> 00:00:36.619
How are you feeling today? Like ass. Oh, no.

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:43.119
Yeah, I got COVID and really kind of hit me last

00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:47.700
Sunday. I had a cough for several days. Just

00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:50.179
a cough. We had talked about allergies and we

00:00:50.179 --> 00:00:52.560
had had all sorts of rain. So who knows what

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.740
was going on? So that's all I thought because

00:00:54.740 --> 00:00:58.820
that's all I had. And then Sunday came and my

00:00:58.820 --> 00:01:01.840
health world came crumbling down around me and

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.599
just felt like awful. Like a freight train. Pretty

00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:09.760
much. Yeah. And then pretty much figured out

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.019
what I had almost immediately because I've had

00:01:12.019 --> 00:01:16.840
it before. And so Sunday, Monday, Tuesday were

00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.980
bad, bad days. Went to work on Wednesday. Felt

00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:24.680
terrible. And then worked remotely Thursday and

00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:29.519
then worked yesterday. But, you know, it's. Still

00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.540
fatigued and it's like even though the cough's

00:01:31.540 --> 00:01:34.099
better. Like I just have these coughing fits.

00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:36.099
You ever have a coughing fit where like you almost

00:01:36.099 --> 00:01:39.060
throw up? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Those are terrible.

00:01:39.260 --> 00:01:42.799
Yeah. I was having those five, six, seven times

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.040
a day. Ugh. Like where I just could not stop

00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.019
coughing. I'm like, I'm going to spew. I better.

00:01:48.510 --> 00:01:50.790
do this near the bathroom because something's

00:01:50.790 --> 00:01:52.829
about to happen. That's brutal, man. Yeah, it

00:01:52.829 --> 00:01:55.370
kept happening. And it's just like then by like

00:01:55.370 --> 00:01:58.049
Thursday, Friday, like my sides hurt, my stomach

00:01:58.049 --> 00:01:59.409
hurt because all I've been doing is coughing.

00:01:59.989 --> 00:02:03.189
And so, yeah, that was it was a thing, man. It

00:02:03.189 --> 00:02:05.730
was definitely a thing. So I'm going to try to

00:02:05.730 --> 00:02:08.610
make it through this show cough free. Coughless.

00:02:09.169 --> 00:02:13.030
Coughless if I can. But yeah, it was it was a

00:02:13.030 --> 00:02:15.389
thing. It's been a thing here in northwest Indiana

00:02:15.389 --> 00:02:18.699
for a hot minute. Like going around. they're

00:02:18.699 --> 00:02:22.500
saying well nationally covet is is back um and

00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:24.580
it's the numbers are starting to grow there's

00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:29.400
some new variant awesome um so it is what it

00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.639
is so if you have your shots good on you for

00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:34.580
getting your shots they're not gonna do any good

00:02:34.580 --> 00:02:37.900
yeah just just so you know i've had shots four

00:02:37.900 --> 00:02:41.500
times and i've had covet three so i don't know

00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:45.349
do the math on that i guess I don't know. Chances

00:02:45.349 --> 00:02:47.330
are if I had zero shots, I would have had it

00:02:47.330 --> 00:02:49.770
three times. If I had all my shots, I've had

00:02:49.770 --> 00:02:53.590
it three times. You know. Yeah. And I'm not an

00:02:53.590 --> 00:02:56.629
anti -shot guy. Trust me. I'm very much in support

00:02:56.629 --> 00:03:00.270
of, you know, pharmaceuticals when necessary

00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:04.150
and science and all of that. But at some point,

00:03:04.169 --> 00:03:07.810
you got to be like, all right, are these working?

00:03:08.150 --> 00:03:11.449
What's the efficacy? Like, it's sensical that.

00:03:11.710 --> 00:03:14.930
Viruses mutate. Yeah. Sure. But in the same breath,

00:03:15.069 --> 00:03:19.050
it's like, what am I going to get the shot for

00:03:19.050 --> 00:03:23.229
if... Right. Oh, it's upwards of 50 % effective.

00:03:23.430 --> 00:03:27.389
Like, okay. I've had my measles, mumps, and rubella

00:03:27.389 --> 00:03:29.129
since I was a kid. You know what I've never had

00:03:29.129 --> 00:03:31.270
in my lifetime? Measles, mumps, or rubella. So

00:03:31.270 --> 00:03:33.889
it's like, to me, it's like, oh, that works.

00:03:34.310 --> 00:03:35.889
It's like, oh, make sure you get COVID shot.

00:03:36.009 --> 00:03:38.520
Why? Yeah, I mean, it also doesn't help that

00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.180
this dog shit government has cut all sorts of

00:03:41.180 --> 00:03:45.020
funding and... Oh, yeah. And education and mRNA

00:03:45.020 --> 00:03:49.259
and all that fun stuff. Research. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

00:03:49.340 --> 00:03:51.340
I mean, everybody's shitting because of lettuce.

00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.719
That was due to cuts, so... And now even more.

00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.379
It's like blueberries and jalapenos. Like, all

00:03:57.379 --> 00:04:00.659
sorts of food is just filled with parasites and

00:04:00.659 --> 00:04:04.400
shit now. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's where now, as

00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.919
a meat eater, I'm just kind of like... Yeah,

00:04:06.939 --> 00:04:10.580
I'm good. Yeah. Now, that's just for now. It

00:04:10.580 --> 00:04:12.219
doesn't mean, like, Mad Cow's not going to sprout

00:04:12.219 --> 00:04:15.180
up and, like, I'm eating ground beef and I end

00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:17.079
up sprouting a third eye. I mean, who knows?

00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:19.259
They already said that one worm, screwworm or

00:04:19.259 --> 00:04:21.899
whatever, is found in Texas beef or something

00:04:21.899 --> 00:04:24.879
like that. Oh, yay. Yeah. Everybody's favorite.

00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.000
That's, I mean, hey, man, if I'm going to have

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.720
a T -bone, you know, T -bone a la screwworm,

00:04:30.779 --> 00:04:33.550
you know. Yeah. It's the way to serve it. Whatever

00:04:33.550 --> 00:04:37.350
worm died in RFK's lack of a brain, I think is

00:04:37.350 --> 00:04:39.769
now in your beef. It's the one calling the shots

00:04:39.769 --> 00:04:41.930
on health and safety in the country, which is

00:04:41.930 --> 00:04:44.470
really cool. It's awesome. God, what a great

00:04:44.470 --> 00:04:46.769
place. But I'm sure we'll talk more about this

00:04:46.769 --> 00:04:53.370
in a little bit. Yeah, so it's been a week, almost

00:04:53.370 --> 00:04:55.790
two weeks. It's been a while. It's been a while.

00:04:56.509 --> 00:04:59.670
But hey, you know, let's just talk about this.

00:05:00.029 --> 00:05:01.850
Aiden's got a gaming channel. It's called Aiden

00:05:01.850 --> 00:05:04.670
spelled the right way. And new PC gaming content,

00:05:05.029 --> 00:05:08.230
a lot of horror movie stuff, GeoGuessr, PolyBridge,

00:05:08.269 --> 00:05:10.209
all kinds of neat stuff you can go back and watch.

00:05:11.430 --> 00:05:14.449
Now, due to power outages, due to tornadoes and

00:05:14.449 --> 00:05:16.370
duratios and all kinds of crazy -ass weather

00:05:16.370 --> 00:05:21.470
that we're having, Aiden hasn't been online much

00:05:21.470 --> 00:05:25.480
lately? This is correct. But I imagine he'll

00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.680
be kind of, quote unquote, getting back up on

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:29.839
the horse. So what do you got planned? Yeah,

00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:33.339
we are so back, finally. Yes. After so many,

00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.139
God, it felt like years, but it was the longest

00:05:36.139 --> 00:05:39.300
seven and a half days of my life. But yeah, we're

00:05:39.300 --> 00:05:43.160
back. We're cruising. We've got some AV assembly

00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.240
coming up. Dozens and dozens of horror games

00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.000
I have not played, but do own. So I'm excited

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.449
about that. And then just getting back to basics.

00:05:51.709 --> 00:05:54.569
Playing some more GeoGuessr is always fun. Hanging

00:05:54.569 --> 00:05:57.689
out, making fun of the French. I mean, it's half

00:05:57.689 --> 00:06:01.569
of what we do now. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It is definitely

00:06:01.569 --> 00:06:05.970
what we do. And we also do it together on A &M

00:06:05.970 --> 00:06:08.649
Gaming. So it's a collaborative thing that we

00:06:08.649 --> 00:06:12.250
started doing with gaming and with this show.

00:06:12.750 --> 00:06:16.360
And it's been a lot of... A lot of fun, a lot

00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.899
of improvisational hijinks and whatnot. So you

00:06:19.899 --> 00:06:22.879
can, once again, on the gaming stuff, it's all

00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.639
on YouTube. And, of course, the Mark Mo Show,

00:06:25.779 --> 00:06:28.600
YouTube, and all podcast platforms. So like and

00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.300
subscribe and share and all that kind of good

00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:37.519
stuff. So, yeah. So this week's... And I'm going

00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.699
to do my best here, ladies and gentlemen. As

00:06:39.699 --> 00:06:42.759
I said, I was without a voice for several days.

00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.800
So the fact that I have any sort of voice today

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:51.579
is a miracle in itself. But we call this one

00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:54.639
Pipe Bomb. Because we just, you know, we decided

00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.699
after two weeks of nonsense that maybe we just

00:06:57.699 --> 00:07:01.699
had a few things to get off our chest. Yeah.

00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:06.079
Air our grievances. Oh, yeah, for sure. So that

00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:09.639
being the case, I'm going to let my esteemed

00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:14.560
colleague, Aiden, kick things off. And for those

00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.319
not in the know, the terminology pipe bomb, no,

00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:21.019
it's not like we're going to blow shit up. Although

00:07:21.019 --> 00:07:23.240
blowing shit up is kind of fun. Yeah. It's kind

00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.240
of the American way. This is true. We do. You

00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.000
know, overthrowing a tyrannical government if

00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.379
we wanted to. Right. If we felt like it. Yeah.

00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.120
Hypothetically. Yeah. Or, you know, there's those.

00:07:32.779 --> 00:07:35.040
You know, wackadoo Americans that apparently

00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:36.759
have something against mailboxes. I don't know

00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.779
what that's all about. Beats me. I don't know.

00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:43.079
But that's not the type of pipe bombs we're talking

00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:47.800
about. Back way back when. Yeah. Professional

00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.399
wrestler, CM Punk, also known as Phil Brooks,

00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:54.180
and kind of near the end of his tenure with his

00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:56.720
first run in WWE, they gave him a microphone

00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:58.100
and told him to say what he was going to say,

00:07:58.180 --> 00:08:02.660
to which he replied, you sure about that? They

00:08:02.660 --> 00:08:05.459
had to cut his mic. Yep. Because he was speaking

00:08:05.459 --> 00:08:08.920
truth and doing it very well. And so that was

00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.079
referred to as a pipe bomb. Yeah. So when people

00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.360
get behind a microphone and have some shit to

00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.819
say, that's kind of the terminology. Yeah. Yeah.

00:08:17.860 --> 00:08:23.480
These days. So I will let Aiden kick us off with

00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.920
said pipe bomb. Yeah. So I just want to begin.

00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.399
With a little event that happened, what, 11 days

00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:35.460
ago? Yeah. Give or take. The unprecedented storm

00:08:35.460 --> 00:08:40.539
that swept through Chicagoland and smashed the

00:08:40.539 --> 00:08:43.759
hell out of Chicagoland, northwest Indiana area.

00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:48.080
I guess there were reports saying that if it

00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.000
wasn't on land, it would have been classified

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.340
as a Cat 2 or Cat 3 hurricane. Hurricane, yeah.

00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:58.120
And so that was, what, 120? Mile an hour winds

00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.840
sustained for like... I drove through it. Yeah.

00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:06.620
35, 40 minutes. And 300 ,000 people in northwest

00:09:06.620 --> 00:09:11.919
Indiana lost power. Now, due to the dog shit

00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.200
company known as Nipsco, I think parent company

00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.259
is Nisource, but they're both shit. We're pretty

00:09:18.259 --> 00:09:21.080
used to power outages here. I mean, we're on

00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:25.269
antiquated grids with... shitty poles they never

00:09:25.269 --> 00:09:29.710
upgrade and trees hanging over lines they just

00:09:29.710 --> 00:09:33.470
don't care about so we're pretty used to the

00:09:33.470 --> 00:09:36.929
power going out you know blips on and off maybe

00:09:36.929 --> 00:09:39.049
it goes out for an hour because god forbid the

00:09:39.049 --> 00:09:41.750
wind got a little too breezy on a day yeah right

00:09:41.750 --> 00:09:46.590
so i feel like a majority of nipsco customers

00:09:47.419 --> 00:09:49.440
are fairly used to the power going out for an

00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.720
hour or two on any given day. So I don't think

00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:58.379
a lot of people quite realized how long this

00:09:58.379 --> 00:10:00.659
would all last, right? Because the storm was

00:10:00.659 --> 00:10:04.399
insane. Like, you were driving through it. I

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.759
was on the tail end of my shift at my job in

00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:09.659
a tractor trailer, which is not where you want

00:10:09.659 --> 00:10:12.379
to be with winds that crazy. So I think a majority...

00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.360
With all that in mind, I feel like even like

00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.019
severity of the storm aside, maybe it was going

00:10:20.019 --> 00:10:23.740
to be out for a day, maybe half a day. Uh, no,

00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:27.500
no. Because of the aforementioned shitty poles,

00:10:27.940 --> 00:10:33.840
unkempt trees, uh, 300 ,000 people were out of

00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.139
power for an extended period of time. Myself

00:10:36.139 --> 00:10:39.240
included. We at home here were out of power for

00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:42.580
seven and a half days. And as of today, I believe

00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:46.360
day 11. We're still looking at over 30 ,000 people

00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.960
without power going on 11 plus days. No power.

00:10:51.259 --> 00:10:55.940
And it's, is it a first world problem to be so

00:10:55.940 --> 00:10:59.360
bent out of shape without having power for X

00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.539
amount of time? Yeah, you could argue that. But

00:11:02.539 --> 00:11:04.940
in the same breath, there's a weird dichotomy

00:11:04.940 --> 00:11:09.940
of when I leave my house. 90 degrees humid as

00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:13.159
hell outside, which means it's 89 degrees and

00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.759
humid as hell inside, and I have to go clock

00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:22.100
into work like everything's fine. It was so demoralizing

00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:27.419
and infuriating that this shitty company, record

00:11:27.419 --> 00:11:33.000
profits, literally record -breaking profits over

00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.909
the last year, mind you, They locked out their

00:11:35.909 --> 00:11:38.169
damn workers because they couldn't come to a

00:11:38.169 --> 00:11:41.309
contract with the union. That's what this company

00:11:41.309 --> 00:11:44.870
is. Of course, you could argue this is bigger,

00:11:44.929 --> 00:11:47.889
this is more macro, this is capitalism, profit

00:11:47.889 --> 00:11:50.210
-maxing, corporations don't care about people.

00:11:50.389 --> 00:11:52.870
I know that's all true. But it's different when

00:11:52.870 --> 00:11:56.070
you're in it. It's different when you can't charge

00:11:56.070 --> 00:11:59.879
your car because your house is dead. And it's

00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:02.580
humid as hell. You're spending a shit ton of

00:12:02.580 --> 00:12:04.980
money on gas on a little generator just to have

00:12:04.980 --> 00:12:07.519
your fridge work and a little fan blowing on

00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:14.360
you. It was insane. And it's so American to have

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:21.059
these shitty private utility companies with infrastructure

00:12:21.059 --> 00:12:26.299
from the 1950s and 60s ready to fail. Yeah. Boasting

00:12:26.299 --> 00:12:29.929
about record -breaking profits. And locking their

00:12:29.929 --> 00:12:33.809
own workers out of working. Like, it was a damn

00:12:33.809 --> 00:12:39.629
blessing that we got crews of linemen, electrical

00:12:39.629 --> 00:12:42.370
workers, from across the country. I think there

00:12:42.370 --> 00:12:45.649
were reports of crews coming in from, like, Connecticut

00:12:45.649 --> 00:12:49.210
and Florida. We got, I think, com ed help from

00:12:49.210 --> 00:12:52.309
Illinois. Like, if we didn't have that, maybe

00:12:52.309 --> 00:12:55.409
it would be, what, a month without power? A couple

00:12:55.409 --> 00:12:58.250
weeks? I mean, seven and a half days was rough

00:12:58.250 --> 00:13:02.049
enough. Yeah. There's still people out in Gary

00:13:02.049 --> 00:13:06.929
and Munster, Lake Station, Portage. Like, it's

00:13:06.929 --> 00:13:09.070
just a goddamn nightmare. And I know you were

00:13:09.070 --> 00:13:11.830
out of power for a handful of days as well. Yeah.

00:13:11.850 --> 00:13:15.129
I think four, three or four on your side. Tuesday,

00:13:15.250 --> 00:13:19.710
Wednesday, Thursday, three. Three? Mm -hmm. It's

00:13:19.710 --> 00:13:22.210
just, I don't know, it's one of those things

00:13:22.210 --> 00:13:24.950
that's just become a staple of life as we know

00:13:24.950 --> 00:13:27.950
it here. is just having electricity when you

00:13:27.950 --> 00:13:31.070
come home or having water when you come home.

00:13:31.250 --> 00:13:35.090
And it's just, especially with shitty, privately

00:13:35.090 --> 00:13:38.950
owned utility companies, it absolutely can just

00:13:38.950 --> 00:13:43.009
be taken away in a heartbeat to meet whatever

00:13:43.009 --> 00:13:46.129
bonus they need to on next quarter's profit margin.

00:13:47.029 --> 00:13:54.389
It's so upsetting. Yeah. It's infuriating because...

00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:56.679
The people that they serve really aren't the

00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.240
people that they serve. Hell no. Ultimately.

00:13:59.620 --> 00:14:03.620
And that part of it's frustrating. Think of the

00:14:03.620 --> 00:14:07.700
shareholders. Think of the C -suite. Yeah. That's

00:14:07.700 --> 00:14:12.899
a real issue. The fact that, what did we get

00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:15.580
from the federal government? $10 million. Which

00:14:15.580 --> 00:14:18.899
half of that will go to repair a bridge in central

00:14:18.899 --> 00:14:22.759
Indiana. Right. What are we doing? Right. Any

00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.220
funds that FEMA is sending to NIPSCO, that's

00:14:26.220 --> 00:14:28.279
not coming to the customers. No. That's not going

00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:32.120
to pay for all of the food lost, for all of the

00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:35.899
gas spent on generators, productivity lost at

00:14:35.899 --> 00:14:39.360
home. Oh, the businesses. Yeah. None of that's

00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.360
falling down to us. Nope. I know there's a class

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.159
action lawsuit, and I hope everybody jumps in

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.600
on that. Um, when given the opportunity to, and

00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.539
Hey, who knows what that means? I've, I've been

00:14:51.539 --> 00:14:54.100
part of these class action things before. Um,

00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.299
one with a data breach and one was something

00:14:56.299 --> 00:14:59.379
else. And I, I think the largest one I ever got

00:14:59.379 --> 00:15:02.980
was like $38. Wow. I think one was like 20 something.

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.919
One was like 30 something. So ultimately you're

00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:07.500
going to have so many people jump in on this

00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:09.960
class action thing. And the class action suit

00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:12.240
itself is going to seem massive, right? They're

00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:13.440
going to be like, Oh, it's a hundred million

00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.740
dollar lawsuit. But you have millions of people

00:15:15.740 --> 00:15:20.000
jumping in. Right. It's not, you know. Yeah,

00:15:20.059 --> 00:15:21.980
you're going to have. It won't pay for a bill.

00:15:22.139 --> 00:15:24.779
Right. You're going to have at least 300 ,000

00:15:24.779 --> 00:15:26.960
individuals jump in. Yeah. Then you're going

00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.559
to have hundreds of businesses jump in. Then

00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:31.720
the lawyers are going to take a cut. Oh, yeah.

00:15:31.940 --> 00:15:35.179
And what do we get? What do we get? $38. Cool.

00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.799
Yeah. Cool, cool, cool. Thanks so much. It's

00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.399
just, there's not enough negative adjectives

00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.740
in. In the English language to describe how shitty

00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:50.960
that seven and a half days was or how despicable

00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.940
this company is. There were mayors of cities

00:15:54.940 --> 00:15:59.139
in Indiana trying to get information from NIPSCO

00:15:59.139 --> 00:16:03.200
that either got A, nothing, or B, just boilerplate,

00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.740
we're working on it kind of responses. Yeah.

00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:11.980
Oh, yeah. How? How can a private company? infrastructure

00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:15.179
company have that much power where a mayor can't

00:16:15.179 --> 00:16:17.860
get a damn answer from them? That makes no sense.

00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:22.259
None. None. Should be a publicly owned by the

00:16:22.259 --> 00:16:25.919
government company. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

00:16:26.019 --> 00:16:29.399
I don't know. And also, looking at this from

00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.080
a different aspect, the whole unprecedented type

00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:35.860
weather event, we knew this was going to happen.

00:16:35.899 --> 00:16:39.860
It's going to continue happening. Yeah. 99 %

00:16:39.860 --> 00:16:43.659
of scientists know that climate change is real

00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:46.179
and it's going to bring severe weather events

00:16:46.179 --> 00:16:51.039
and nonsensical seasons. Tornado Alley, now in

00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:55.019
the Midwest, now featuring Indiana, now featuring

00:16:55.019 --> 00:16:58.379
Illinois. This shit is going to keep happening.

00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:02.200
Yeah, oh yeah. Oh, it definitely will. And with,

00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:05.380
what is it now, a trillion dollars of American

00:17:05.380 --> 00:17:10.450
money going towards... The military. Every year,

00:17:10.529 --> 00:17:13.910
instead of roads and schools and infrastructure,

00:17:14.029 --> 00:17:17.130
or even infrastructure like, oh, I don't know,

00:17:17.150 --> 00:17:21.349
privately owned power companies. Every weather

00:17:21.349 --> 00:17:24.109
event is going to be like this, I fear. Every

00:17:24.109 --> 00:17:28.369
insane weather event is just going to bring this

00:17:28.369 --> 00:17:32.529
damn country to a halt. And I know this is more

00:17:32.529 --> 00:17:35.970
micro compared to the 300 million people here.

00:17:36.650 --> 00:17:39.849
But that's 300 ,000 Americans just in Indiana

00:17:39.849 --> 00:17:42.009
alone. That doesn't include the Illinois side

00:17:42.009 --> 00:17:44.849
that was out of power. 300 ,000 people without

00:17:44.849 --> 00:17:49.450
power. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Slow ass response. I would

00:17:49.450 --> 00:17:51.670
hazard a guess. I don't even think NIPSCO had

00:17:51.670 --> 00:17:54.470
a fucking emergency plan. Oh, I don't think so.

00:17:54.490 --> 00:17:56.690
With how dog shit their rollout was, how slow

00:17:56.690 --> 00:18:00.890
everything was. And that's the thing. It's weather

00:18:00.890 --> 00:18:04.630
is not getting better. It's getting worse. The

00:18:04.630 --> 00:18:09.140
climate is changing. And it has been. And there

00:18:09.140 --> 00:18:13.480
are several reasons why this quote unquote new

00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:16.779
tornado alley is more like in Illinois, Wisconsin

00:18:16.779 --> 00:18:21.460
and Indiana. One of the largest parts is agribusiness

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:24.819
is one of the main reasons that's happening in

00:18:24.819 --> 00:18:28.220
June, July and August. But all that being said,

00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:32.640
if we know that, if the science is there and

00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:35.640
we know that, how the hell do they not know that?

00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.500
And because emergency situations like they have

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:42.640
to be prepared for that. If you know, if this

00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.940
happens, break glass. If this happens, ABCD.

00:18:45.980 --> 00:18:48.640
Right. I mean, it's like they have to know. So

00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.380
how can this happen? Even as unprecedented as

00:18:51.380 --> 00:18:54.240
it is, guess what? It's happened. Now it's no

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.900
longer unprecedented. Right. Right. This type

00:18:56.900 --> 00:19:00.140
of shit is going to happen. We're going. Hell,

00:19:00.299 --> 00:19:03.559
I remember when you were a kid and we had the

00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.230
remnants of a tropical storm. Is it Eddie? Hurricane

00:19:07.230 --> 00:19:09.349
Ike. Ike? Is that what it was? I think it was

00:19:09.349 --> 00:19:13.769
Ike. And it came up through kind of right along

00:19:13.769 --> 00:19:15.730
the Mississippi River until it kind of made its

00:19:15.730 --> 00:19:20.309
turn into central Illinois and Indiana and Michigan

00:19:20.309 --> 00:19:22.589
and Ohio. And granted, by the time it got up

00:19:22.589 --> 00:19:24.849
here, but it was so warm and humid at that time

00:19:24.849 --> 00:19:26.849
of the year for us, the thing still had a lot

00:19:26.849 --> 00:19:29.759
of power to it. And didn't really subside until

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.059
it got well into like Michigan and Canada. Even

00:19:33.059 --> 00:19:35.319
Canada got a shit ton of rain from it. I think

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:38.539
we got feet of rain. We did. We did. There was

00:19:38.539 --> 00:19:41.640
a dude that was canoeing down our street. I think

00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.640
it was Stonehill. It's canoeing. Yeah. You know,

00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:46.259
there's two feet of water out there. He's like,

00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:50.420
I can canoe. Yeah. Why not? He's taking lemons

00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:52.299
and making lemonade at that point. So he's like,

00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:57.319
I might as well canoe. It's no longer unprecedented.

00:19:57.380 --> 00:20:00.640
These weather things happen. So you have to have

00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.660
this shit in place. Not, oh, well, give us several

00:20:03.660 --> 00:20:05.819
days to kind of look at everything. No, you know.

00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:09.740
Yeah. You know. You literally own it all. And

00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:11.720
if you don't know, that means you're negligent.

00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.700
Yeah. If you cannot manage what you own, that's

00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:17.480
a problem. Especially when your people's bills

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.319
have been tripled and quadrupled in recent years.

00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.079
Yeah, my power bill. Now, this is power and gas

00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:28.400
combined. I just got, right before the storm

00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:33.500
came in, it was like $390. Yeah. For a 900 -some

00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:36.180
-odd -square -foot home. How does that make any

00:20:36.180 --> 00:20:40.059
fucking sense? I don't know. I don't know. If

00:20:40.059 --> 00:20:43.460
they have the balls to charge people for this

00:20:43.460 --> 00:20:46.339
month's utility bill, I'm throwing hands. I don't

00:20:46.339 --> 00:20:48.279
care who it is. I'm throwing hands. Oh, yeah.

00:20:48.420 --> 00:20:51.859
Oh, I get it. Yeah, I just wanted to rant a little

00:20:51.859 --> 00:20:55.240
bit about that. I wanted to try and keep my head

00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.079
screwed on right and make logical points and

00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.619
just bring up what happened, especially here

00:21:01.619 --> 00:21:05.660
at home, because that was my life, our life for

00:21:05.660 --> 00:21:08.940
seven and a half days. God damn, it was terrible.

00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:13.880
Absolutely terrible. So just wanted to drop a

00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:15.759
little pipe bomb like that. Nipsco, if you're

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.289
listening, go fuck yourself. Any of the... The

00:21:19.289 --> 00:21:22.349
line workers out there, appreciate you. All the

00:21:22.349 --> 00:21:24.789
traveling ones, doing the Lord's work out there,

00:21:24.829 --> 00:21:27.990
fellas. Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, mine

00:21:27.990 --> 00:21:33.210
is going to be a little bit more, oh, I don't

00:21:33.210 --> 00:21:36.849
know, all -encompassing. Not just this, which

00:21:36.849 --> 00:21:41.690
was a thing. And for those of you that follow

00:21:41.690 --> 00:21:45.950
the show, you know, have caught most of our episodes,

00:21:46.250 --> 00:21:48.839
first of all, thank you. I'm not pipe bombing

00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.880
you. Yeah. You are exempt. We appreciate you.

00:21:53.180 --> 00:21:56.440
However, mine was going to be more encompassing

00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.660
in that a lot of times when you have the certain

00:22:00.660 --> 00:22:05.460
situations, you learn who you can trust. You

00:22:05.460 --> 00:22:09.920
learn who your friends are. I know the type of

00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:13.400
person that I am. I checked on most everyone

00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:16.180
I knew. How are you doing? Do you need help with

00:22:16.180 --> 00:22:19.519
anything? You got power? You need food? Now,

00:22:19.619 --> 00:22:22.660
that's just the way I'm made. Or should I say,

00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.539
the way I was made. I suppose I should give that

00:22:25.539 --> 00:22:28.299
credit to your grandma and papa, for sure. But

00:22:28.299 --> 00:22:33.400
that's how I'm made. I always and always will

00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:35.619
care a hell of a lot more about other people

00:22:35.619 --> 00:22:38.059
than I do myself. It's just the way that I work.

00:22:38.380 --> 00:22:40.519
Now, that's a tough way to live, especially...

00:22:41.069 --> 00:22:43.710
when that is not necessarily being reciprocated

00:22:43.710 --> 00:22:48.329
often. And this has to do with people that you

00:22:48.329 --> 00:22:50.490
know professionally, people that you know personally,

00:22:50.769 --> 00:22:55.730
people you even may be related to. And you sit

00:22:55.730 --> 00:22:59.210
down, especially when you have no power. Right.

00:22:59.349 --> 00:23:01.650
And it's warm and it's dark and you're just like,

00:23:01.690 --> 00:23:04.829
you can't sleep because you've got COVID. It

00:23:04.829 --> 00:23:08.859
was a thing, ladies and gentlemen. When all that's

00:23:08.859 --> 00:23:11.880
going on, you can't help but sit there and dwell

00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:18.240
on how disappointing some people are. And I suppose

00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.759
I shouldn't expect that others should live by

00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:28.420
my code or how I carry myself because that, I

00:23:28.420 --> 00:23:30.920
think that you just get set up for disappointment.

00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:34.140
And I've had friends, hell, I had a therapist

00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:36.640
tell me that. It was like, you can't, you can't

00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:39.440
live that way. Because if you live the life of

00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:42.720
someone who does care about others, is always

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:45.720
willing to give of themselves. Hell, I was that

00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:48.680
way when I didn't have anything. But that's just

00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.240
the way I was made. And the more you get to know

00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:55.420
people and, as I said, sometimes they're even

00:23:55.420 --> 00:23:58.039
related to you. And you just realize how disappointing

00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:00.680
of a person that that person has become. And

00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:04.299
there's really not much you can do about that.

00:24:04.670 --> 00:24:08.430
Because at this point in life, regardless of

00:24:08.430 --> 00:24:10.210
how well you may or may not know that person,

00:24:10.390 --> 00:24:12.950
they're grown ass adults. Nothing you can do

00:24:12.950 --> 00:24:15.950
about it anymore. Not a goddamn thing. And so

00:24:15.950 --> 00:24:20.809
for me, all I can do is be me. That's it. That's

00:24:20.809 --> 00:24:26.390
all I can do. But I can also not feel like I'm

00:24:26.390 --> 00:24:28.289
taken advantage of. I had someone the other day

00:24:28.289 --> 00:24:30.410
go on a rant about feeling like they were taken

00:24:30.410 --> 00:24:33.950
advantage of. And I really, the whole time. I

00:24:33.950 --> 00:24:36.250
was looking in my bag. I was looking in my pockets.

00:24:36.690 --> 00:24:38.529
And I was looking underneath my chair. And I

00:24:38.529 --> 00:24:40.150
just could not find the world's smallest fucking

00:24:40.150 --> 00:24:43.109
violin. And I kept looking for it. And I just

00:24:43.109 --> 00:24:46.430
could not seem to fucking find that thing. And

00:24:46.430 --> 00:24:49.289
I kept thinking to myself, if you were in my

00:24:49.289 --> 00:24:53.029
shoes the last 10 years of my life, you would

00:24:53.029 --> 00:24:56.089
realize how fucking stupid you sound right now.

00:24:57.430 --> 00:25:01.990
And it's so hard to sit there and listen to it.

00:25:02.009 --> 00:25:04.869
But you do. It's like, okay, cool. Yeah, that's

00:25:04.869 --> 00:25:08.009
fine. And then I sit there and I go, no, that's

00:25:08.009 --> 00:25:10.029
fine. And then there's other people you just

00:25:10.029 --> 00:25:15.890
expect more from. People that you have spent

00:25:15.890 --> 00:25:19.710
your lifetime or theirs teaching them how to

00:25:19.710 --> 00:25:21.630
treat people, how to be a good person, think

00:25:21.630 --> 00:25:23.829
of others before you think of yourself, and just

00:25:23.829 --> 00:25:28.430
like that whole mantra. Only to view things from

00:25:28.430 --> 00:25:30.289
an eagle eye view, right? From that outside looking

00:25:30.289 --> 00:25:32.750
in. to realize how disappointing that person

00:25:32.750 --> 00:25:35.549
has become. And they don't even know it. They

00:25:35.549 --> 00:25:38.230
don't even know it is the shocking thing. And

00:25:38.230 --> 00:25:40.309
if they do know it and they don't give a fuck,

00:25:40.329 --> 00:25:42.710
then it's even more disappointing. And it's like,

00:25:42.769 --> 00:25:46.509
wow, holy shit, how did that happen? So yeah,

00:25:46.609 --> 00:25:49.849
that's my pipe bomb for today is just how disappointing

00:25:49.849 --> 00:25:54.630
people have become. And it's more and more as

00:25:54.630 --> 00:25:57.269
I get older, it's becoming more and more difficult

00:25:57.269 --> 00:26:00.269
for me. To empathize with people, to feel sorry

00:26:00.269 --> 00:26:03.190
for people, because now it kind of comes full

00:26:03.190 --> 00:26:07.829
circle to be like, nah, nah, that's that's I've

00:26:07.829 --> 00:26:09.710
I've dealt with those fuckers. I've dealt with

00:26:09.710 --> 00:26:13.990
those people. I've I cannot I cannot feel, you

00:26:13.990 --> 00:26:18.069
know, I just I don't I don't and I can't, you

00:26:18.069 --> 00:26:21.720
know, and. Maybe this is the wrong way to look

00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:24.099
at it, but I think, once again, everybody lives

00:26:24.099 --> 00:26:25.859
in their own shoes, in their own space, right?

00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:28.279
So everybody has different life experiences.

00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:31.599
But I'll tell you from mine, don't waste your

00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:35.880
time with people. Buy a dog. Buy a cat. Buy a

00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:39.900
fucking goldfish. I will tell you what, they

00:26:39.900 --> 00:26:42.579
will disappoint you a hell of a lot less than

00:26:42.579 --> 00:26:46.160
fucking people. And whether, as I said, they're

00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:49.379
professional, on a professional level, Whether

00:26:49.379 --> 00:26:51.339
it's a personal level, it's a friend, it's a

00:26:51.339 --> 00:26:54.599
family member, whatever. Nothing disappoints

00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:57.859
more than a fucking human being. And you look

00:26:57.859 --> 00:26:59.720
at where we're at and we discussed it, right?

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:02.460
Nipsco. What's Nipsco made of? It's made of fucking

00:27:02.460 --> 00:27:06.119
people. And you talk about the weather and agribusiness

00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:07.779
and the reason we're dealing with all this shit.

00:27:08.099 --> 00:27:11.140
Who's behind all that? People. So to come full

00:27:11.140 --> 00:27:12.920
circle on what Aiden started with and what I'm

00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:16.079
finishing with, it's fucking people. Look in

00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:18.900
the goddamn mirror. Because I'll tell you what.

00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:22.279
I look at my faults. I'm not fucking perfect.

00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:24.960
I know that. I have things that I struggle with.

00:27:25.259 --> 00:27:28.539
But I know what they are. I'm conscious of what

00:27:28.539 --> 00:27:31.619
they are. And I do try to work on them. And with

00:27:31.619 --> 00:27:34.099
all of those faults, you know what I still am?

00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:37.299
I'm a good fucking human being that cares about

00:27:37.299 --> 00:27:40.509
other people. But that guy? He's currently being

00:27:40.509 --> 00:27:43.829
killed by the other dude inside me. The dude

00:27:43.829 --> 00:27:46.670
that is now jaded. The dude that is pissed. The

00:27:46.670 --> 00:27:49.849
dude's like, why do you keep giving of yourself

00:27:49.849 --> 00:27:53.970
to organizations made up of people and other

00:27:53.970 --> 00:27:56.950
people in need? When you know you're going to

00:27:56.950 --> 00:27:58.809
put yourself out there and you are going to give

00:27:58.809 --> 00:28:01.410
100 % of yourself and then you're going to go,

00:28:01.509 --> 00:28:05.829
oh, look, I have a need and I'm, you know, and

00:28:05.829 --> 00:28:09.200
here's the thing. I can count on one hand. The

00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:11.700
number of people would be like, hey, I will give

00:28:11.700 --> 00:28:13.460
you this. I will help with that and blah, blah,

00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:15.839
blah. And those people are worth their weight

00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.740
in gold. And those people know, number one, I'm

00:28:18.740 --> 00:28:20.460
appreciative. And number two, if they ever need

00:28:20.460 --> 00:28:24.339
anything, I got them. So that's great. But that's

00:28:24.339 --> 00:28:26.279
a handful. I'm looking at my hand right now,

00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:28.380
ladies and gentlemen. That's a handful. I know

00:28:28.380 --> 00:28:31.140
hundreds of people, some of which I grew up with.

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:36.859
Crickets. Crickets. And the thing is, if I were

00:28:36.859 --> 00:28:39.690
on Facebook and saw that they were having a situation

00:28:39.690 --> 00:28:43.170
or whatever, I would probably reach out to them

00:28:43.170 --> 00:28:46.529
immediately. What can I do? How can I help? I'm

00:28:46.529 --> 00:28:49.529
always doing that. But as I said, I'm having

00:28:49.529 --> 00:28:52.470
an internal battle right now. And that nice guy,

00:28:52.630 --> 00:28:56.089
that empathetic guy, he's getting his ass kicked

00:28:56.089 --> 00:28:58.990
inside me right now. And I'm not sure how much

00:28:58.990 --> 00:29:01.049
longer he's going to come out. But I will tell

00:29:01.049 --> 00:29:03.829
you what, for all you people out there in similar

00:29:03.829 --> 00:29:07.710
situations to me, and... You feel jaded and you're

00:29:07.710 --> 00:29:10.369
frustrated and all these other things. And human

00:29:10.369 --> 00:29:13.609
beings continue to let you down. Let's not let

00:29:13.609 --> 00:29:16.210
that happen anymore. Fuck them. It doesn't matter.

00:29:16.470 --> 00:29:19.650
Get a dog. Get a cat. Get a fish. Get a llama.

00:29:19.690 --> 00:29:23.549
I don't fucking care what you get. Exotic. Right.

00:29:23.750 --> 00:29:26.130
Exactly. Be Joe Exotic if you want. I don't give

00:29:26.130 --> 00:29:30.809
a shit. All I'm saying, don't let human beings

00:29:30.809 --> 00:29:33.069
get you down anymore. It's not fucking worth

00:29:33.069 --> 00:29:36.240
it. And we're all here for a short time. Carbon

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:39.380
-based life form. 80 years. 85 if we're lucky.

00:29:39.819 --> 00:29:41.660
That's all we got. And if we're going to sit

00:29:41.660 --> 00:29:43.779
here and be miserable every fucking day because

00:29:43.779 --> 00:29:46.740
someone or a group of people or whatever continually

00:29:46.740 --> 00:29:50.819
let us down each and every day, what's the point

00:29:50.819 --> 00:29:53.859
of it all? Why are we even doing it? What's the

00:29:53.859 --> 00:29:56.700
point? So all I'm saying, live your life. If

00:29:56.700 --> 00:29:59.259
you like to fish, go fucking fishing today. If

00:29:59.259 --> 00:30:01.759
you like to hunt, grab a gun, shoot a bird. I

00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:03.559
don't give a fuck. Do whatever it is that you

00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:06.460
like to do with your life. And stop worrying

00:30:06.460 --> 00:30:08.819
about others. Because I'll tell you what. It's

00:30:08.819 --> 00:30:11.079
not worth it. It's not worth it. And I know the

00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:12.859
Jesus people will be like, oh, well, it's part

00:30:12.859 --> 00:30:14.720
of vocation. It's part of this and part of that.

00:30:15.059 --> 00:30:19.700
I don't believe in your Harry Potter. I don't

00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:22.099
believe in your made -up mystery man that...

00:30:22.099 --> 00:30:29.799
Okay. All right. It's not an earthquake, ladies

00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:33.240
and gentlemen. There is some work being done.

00:30:33.460 --> 00:30:36.140
Didn't know it was going to be noisy. You and

00:30:36.140 --> 00:30:39.920
I both. Would have been good to know. But at

00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:43.640
any rate, you know, I don't believe in your Jeebus

00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:49.680
or your Allah or your Mohammed or Jerry the Mechanic.

00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:51.359
I don't know. Whoever, whatever you worship.

00:30:51.380 --> 00:30:53.019
I would honestly believe in Jerry the Mechanic.

00:30:53.019 --> 00:30:55.759
I would. I would. He's got my vote. I'm actually

00:30:55.759 --> 00:31:02.019
a Frisbeetarian. So all I'm saying is all of

00:31:02.019 --> 00:31:05.109
these people. I just don't have time for them

00:31:05.109 --> 00:31:08.390
anymore. I really don't. Because they continue

00:31:08.390 --> 00:31:12.789
to disappoint. They just do. And, you know, I've

00:31:12.789 --> 00:31:16.910
had enough events in the past three or four or

00:31:16.910 --> 00:31:21.589
five years to last a fucking lifetime. And it's

00:31:21.589 --> 00:31:24.130
just, it's not worth it. It's not worth it. You

00:31:24.130 --> 00:31:26.769
know, giving of yourself to people, thinking

00:31:26.769 --> 00:31:29.049
you're friends and then you're not friends. Or

00:31:29.049 --> 00:31:31.519
like... Something wrong happens. And it's like,

00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:35.039
look, shit happens. No one is perfect. And if

00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:37.079
one person has a fuck up, and I'm not talking

00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:41.019
about like, oh, my fuck up was, oopsie daisy,

00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:43.259
drove a school bus off a bridge, killed a bunch

00:31:43.259 --> 00:31:45.960
of kids. That's a bad one. That one's a little

00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:47.980
tough. That's a bad one. That's a bad one to

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:52.180
recover from. You'd have to hire a PR team, dude.

00:31:52.380 --> 00:31:54.740
Yeah, you really would. You really would. You'd

00:31:54.740 --> 00:31:56.440
have to have Fox News on your side, which I'm

00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:00.619
sure they would. But I, you know, for me, we're

00:32:00.619 --> 00:32:03.160
talking right. You're talking about maybe you

00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:05.160
say something stupid. You have a bad night in

00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:08.559
a bar. You have a disagreement about like that

00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:11.440
kind of shit. And that's all it is. It's little

00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:14.559
shit. It's shit that's easy to overcome with

00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.519
communication between people if you want. But

00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:20.359
then most people don't want. And it's like, OK,

00:32:20.539 --> 00:32:24.319
so little things come up and people bail. That's

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:26.950
the world we're living in now. That's a tough

00:32:26.950 --> 00:32:29.130
fucking world, man. Because I guarantee you,

00:32:29.150 --> 00:32:31.450
those people that are quick to do that, you better

00:32:31.450 --> 00:32:33.049
look in the fucking mirror. Because you're going

00:32:33.049 --> 00:32:36.230
to stop talking to yourself. Damn. You've got

00:32:36.230 --> 00:32:42.250
to look in a fucking mirror. And yeah, so I'm

00:32:42.250 --> 00:32:46.869
done. So however long I'm living, if it's another

00:32:46.869 --> 00:32:49.369
year, if it's another 30 years, I don't fucking

00:32:49.369 --> 00:32:51.549
know. None of us know. But I'll tell you what,

00:32:51.690 --> 00:32:54.230
I'm living for me, baby. That's what I'm doing.

00:32:54.549 --> 00:32:56.690
And you'd be like, that's kind of selfish. And

00:32:56.690 --> 00:33:01.589
to that, I'd say, uh -huh. Yep. Yep. So what?

00:33:01.630 --> 00:33:04.349
You're another human. I don't give a fuck. So

00:33:04.349 --> 00:33:06.710
all I'm saying is if you kind of feel that way

00:33:06.710 --> 00:33:08.890
out there, ladies and gentlemen, professionally,

00:33:09.089 --> 00:33:11.450
personally, all that other stuff, and you have

00:33:11.450 --> 00:33:14.309
just, you're tired of being shit on for dumb

00:33:14.309 --> 00:33:16.710
shit. You are just tired of it. Don't do it.

00:33:17.250 --> 00:33:20.069
Don't, you don't need it. You don't need it at

00:33:20.069 --> 00:33:23.289
all. I can go in any bar on any evening, have

00:33:23.289 --> 00:33:25.609
a couple of cold ones, sit next to someone I

00:33:25.609 --> 00:33:27.309
know and just have a conversation and leave.

00:33:27.670 --> 00:33:29.990
And guess what? I don't have any sort of invested

00:33:29.990 --> 00:33:32.430
relationship. They're not going to let me down.

00:33:32.529 --> 00:33:34.569
I'm not going to let them down. But I just had

00:33:34.569 --> 00:33:37.109
a nice evening and I talked to someone and I

00:33:37.109 --> 00:33:39.470
get to go home and leave and be happy because

00:33:39.470 --> 00:33:41.569
now I've had a couple of beers and I'll go cuddle

00:33:41.569 --> 00:33:45.170
with my pet iguana or llama. Llama. Llama. Jerry

00:33:45.170 --> 00:33:48.539
the Llama. Yeah, also a mechanic. Also a mechanic.

00:33:48.619 --> 00:33:49.980
See how everything works? Let's see if you remember,

00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:53.019
folks. We just mentioned that. I mean, are you

00:33:53.019 --> 00:33:54.380
with me? Kind of jingle, jingle the keys in front

00:33:54.380 --> 00:33:57.160
of their eyes just to keep their attention. Right,

00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:59.579
exactly. It's like, you there? You there? That's

00:33:59.579 --> 00:34:01.759
a pipe bomb for you, lovely listener. Indeed

00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:06.559
it is. Jingle, jingle. Hello. So the fact that

00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:08.179
I was able to do this without a major coughing

00:34:08.179 --> 00:34:11.599
fit. Another blessing. Praise Jeebus. Praise

00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:15.500
Frisbee. Yeah, that was a major miracle. But

00:34:15.500 --> 00:34:18.159
that's my pipe bomb. I'm just fucking tired of

00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:24.440
investing in relationships of any kind anymore.

00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:26.900
And maybe you're the type of person that needs

00:34:26.900 --> 00:34:34.349
it. I don't. I do not. I'm happy being me. And

00:34:34.349 --> 00:34:37.190
I hope you're happy being you. And as I said,

00:34:37.210 --> 00:34:40.050
if you've had those issues, fuck them. You don't

00:34:40.050 --> 00:34:42.989
need them. You absolutely don't. You need yourself

00:34:42.989 --> 00:34:45.510
and you need to be happy. And if there's five

00:34:45.510 --> 00:34:47.550
things that you love to do in this life, just

00:34:47.550 --> 00:34:50.170
do that. Just do that. You don't need it. And

00:34:50.170 --> 00:34:54.369
if you have a job and the boss is a pain in your

00:34:54.369 --> 00:34:57.510
ass or your coworkers piss you off every day,

00:34:57.789 --> 00:35:02.010
fuck them. Take a bag, go into work, put all

00:35:02.010 --> 00:35:05.360
your personal shit in it. Give them the one finger

00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:07.920
salute and go home. That is what I'm telling

00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:10.320
you to do. Now, oh my God, Mark, how am I going

00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:12.360
to pay your bills? Fuck your bills. I don't give

00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:14.139
a fuck. Fuck them. What are they going to do?

00:35:14.179 --> 00:35:16.920
Turn off your power? Oh, just happened. I mean,

00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:19.780
what are you going to do? You need to live for

00:35:19.780 --> 00:35:22.820
you. This capitalist society is bullshit. Oh

00:35:22.820 --> 00:35:25.219
my God, my bills, my car, my this, my that. You'll

00:35:25.219 --> 00:35:27.800
take care of that. Don't worry about it. Live

00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:30.820
your life. Be happy. This is one fucking go around.

00:35:31.610 --> 00:35:33.909
And if there are certain things in your life

00:35:33.909 --> 00:35:36.949
that are bringing you down, don't do it. Don't

00:35:36.949 --> 00:35:38.909
do it. Who are you carrying these bricks for

00:35:38.909 --> 00:35:40.909
anyway? Put those fuckers down. That's all I

00:35:40.909 --> 00:35:44.769
got to say. ABC, always be yourself. Always be

00:35:44.769 --> 00:35:47.750
yourself. And if you have a choice, don't be

00:35:47.750 --> 00:35:50.730
a Nipsco customer. Yeah, I think we learned anything

00:35:50.730 --> 00:35:53.289
from our pipe bombs today. Yeah, that's the top

00:35:53.289 --> 00:35:56.190
two right there. Don't be a Nipsco customer,

00:35:56.449 --> 00:36:00.579
motherfuckers. All right, we are back. Time for

00:36:00.579 --> 00:36:05.099
Carpe Diem. And you guys sent us your DMs. Read

00:36:05.099 --> 00:36:07.579
them on the air. And they might be in a form

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:10.780
of a question. This is true. And to that, we

00:36:10.780 --> 00:36:14.059
have the ability to answer. I like your wording.

00:36:14.420 --> 00:36:18.300
Could do it. We may. We might. Yeah. We might

00:36:18.300 --> 00:36:21.940
do it. Provided, number one, you don't piss me

00:36:21.940 --> 00:36:23.800
off. I'm in a mood. Did you hear the beginning

00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:26.699
of the show? Number two. Yeah, if you skipped

00:36:26.699 --> 00:36:30.159
ahead to Carpe Diem's. The show is called Pipe

00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:33.199
Bomb. Miss a little, miss a lot. Yeah. Yeah.

00:36:33.340 --> 00:36:37.880
Yeah. And number two. Oh, hell. Give me your

00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:42.320
money. Yeah. Muchos gracias. Yeah. Muy dinero.

00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:46.460
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We want it. We want it. Anything

00:36:46.460 --> 00:36:48.480
that's green in your wallet, give it to us and

00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:50.559
then we'll be like, oh, wait a minute. Did you

00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:53.340
ask a question? Or if it's blue, has a blue stripe

00:36:53.340 --> 00:36:57.900
on it. Ooh. Now that's an idea. Yeah. If it's

00:36:57.900 --> 00:37:01.679
nicknamed, I don't know, Benji? Benji? Mm -hmm.

00:37:01.699 --> 00:37:05.400
Benji Frank? Yeah. We'll talk then. Yeah, then

00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:08.679
I think you've got a valuable question. Oh, yeah.

00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:14.039
100%. 100%. All right. I'm going to start with

00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:19.199
mine. I have four. I received one from AtBiffBoffo.

00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:24.340
Wow. Yeah. Mark Mosho. Oh, I was arrested last

00:37:24.340 --> 00:37:28.550
week when I... quote -unquote allegedly, way

00:37:28.550 --> 00:37:31.190
to be on that, by the way. Yeah, yeah, smart.

00:37:31.809 --> 00:37:34.849
Beat the crap out of this guy. A lot to unpack

00:37:34.849 --> 00:37:38.710
here, but I'll just say he had it coming. How

00:37:38.710 --> 00:37:41.309
could I have handled this differently? Ooh, it

00:37:41.309 --> 00:37:44.650
depends. Well, it depends on a lot of things.

00:37:44.989 --> 00:37:46.449
Yeah, there's a lot we don't know. Yeah, a lot

00:37:46.449 --> 00:37:48.849
we don't know. First of all, if you have a good

00:37:48.849 --> 00:37:51.869
enough lawyer... Just try to do the whole self

00:37:51.869 --> 00:37:54.269
-defense thing. But that's another thing you

00:37:54.269 --> 00:37:56.030
could have done differently is just try and have

00:37:56.030 --> 00:37:59.730
old boy swing first. Yeah. Especially if you're

00:37:59.730 --> 00:38:02.530
in public and other people can be witnesses to

00:38:02.530 --> 00:38:05.110
old boy swinging first. Because if that happens,

00:38:05.230 --> 00:38:07.909
then it's got him. Right. Then you're off scot

00:38:07.909 --> 00:38:10.349
-free and then he's going to be incarcerated.

00:38:10.889 --> 00:38:15.929
Right. But, allegedly, if you were to hypothetically

00:38:15.929 --> 00:38:22.320
not have him. them swing first, then perhaps

00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:26.300
your best bet is a back alley lore wearing a

00:38:26.300 --> 00:38:29.059
face mask where you couldn't be identified. And

00:38:29.059 --> 00:38:31.480
then you have some of your homies all chilling

00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:33.400
out at the house you were definitely at that

00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:37.619
night. Alibi secure. Now that's all hypothetical

00:38:37.619 --> 00:38:40.260
and I would never suggest anyone do that. Nope.

00:38:40.579 --> 00:38:43.780
But if he had it coming, that's just my first

00:38:43.780 --> 00:38:46.239
take. That's my first. Is it a bad take? I don't

00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:50.000
know. Don't get caught. Don't get caught. Hear

00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:54.760
that, Mr. Boffo? Look, if a guy's got it coming,

00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:58.539
and trust me, I know this, don't get caught.

00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:02.300
Sure. Be like, okay, so -and -so deserves this.

00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:05.699
Where am I at? Who's around? What's the play?

00:39:05.900 --> 00:39:08.719
What's the play? Hmm, this isn't the best spot.

00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:11.019
Just keep that little nugget for a rainy day.

00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:13.719
And then when the time comes, you handle whatever

00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:17.800
your business is. Allegedly. Allegedly. And don't

00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:20.349
get caught. Yes. That way that person would be

00:39:20.349 --> 00:39:22.510
like, oh, that guy hit me. He knocked me down.

00:39:22.570 --> 00:39:24.989
He knocked my tooth out. Blah, blah, blah. Really?

00:39:25.210 --> 00:39:27.429
I was home in bed. I was in there. I don't know

00:39:27.429 --> 00:39:30.650
what you're talking about. Yeah. So just, I don't

00:39:30.650 --> 00:39:33.710
know. Use your brain, Biff. Yeah. My ring doorbell

00:39:33.710 --> 00:39:35.309
cameras would have caught me leaving my house

00:39:35.309 --> 00:39:37.929
if I was away that night. Oh, for sure. Yeah.

00:39:37.989 --> 00:39:39.409
My car was still in the driveway. I don't know

00:39:39.409 --> 00:39:40.969
what the hell you're talking about. No idea.

00:39:41.369 --> 00:39:46.059
No idea. I was asleep. Yeah. At Jaja Banks. I

00:39:46.059 --> 00:39:49.119
think it's pronounced Ha Ha Banks. If they're

00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:51.780
from down south. That could very well be. I'm

00:39:51.780 --> 00:39:55.039
Jamaican. And yes, this is my name. Okay, so

00:39:55.039 --> 00:40:00.059
I was wrong. My mistake. It is ridiculously similar

00:40:00.059 --> 00:40:03.619
to an annoying Star Wars character. Oh no. Should

00:40:03.619 --> 00:40:06.900
I change my name? I'm tired of the jokes. Jar

00:40:06.900 --> 00:40:09.960
Jar Banks. And then you've got Jar Jar. Jar Jar

00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:12.820
Banks. Mr. Banks. Yeah, of course. I would say

00:40:12.820 --> 00:40:16.400
no. I hate that movie because of him. Yeah, I

00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:19.099
even heard a couple, like, Star Wars theories

00:40:19.099 --> 00:40:22.639
that he was supposed to be the main antagonist

00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:25.300
of that trilogy. Like, Jar Jar's supposed to

00:40:25.300 --> 00:40:27.300
be a badass Jedi, from what I understand. Yeah.

00:40:27.460 --> 00:40:29.380
But I never got that out of that movie. And he's

00:40:29.380 --> 00:40:32.019
supposed to be, like, the evil guy that, you

00:40:32.019 --> 00:40:36.460
know, he's doing, like, the force voice takeover

00:40:36.460 --> 00:40:39.119
thing on different people. And he's, like, he's...

00:40:39.449 --> 00:40:41.809
quote -unquote supposed to be the phantom menace

00:40:41.809 --> 00:40:44.150
because people don't know he's evil yet and i

00:40:44.150 --> 00:40:46.489
didn't get that people hated his character so

00:40:46.489 --> 00:40:49.550
much they were just like ah we should pivot we

00:40:49.550 --> 00:40:53.489
should pivot on that one yeah um so i totally

00:40:53.489 --> 00:40:58.349
understand uh senor jaja i would just say no

00:40:58.349 --> 00:41:01.469
unless you hate the name jaja in which case i

00:41:01.469 --> 00:41:04.320
would say yes right Just roll with Jerry. Yeah,

00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:09.380
I'm absolutely fence riding this one. I'm giving

00:41:09.380 --> 00:41:14.260
you nothing concrete, Mr. or fella Banks. But

00:41:14.260 --> 00:41:17.400
I understand where you're coming from. 100%.

00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:19.699
That'd be like any kid in this country named

00:41:19.699 --> 00:41:24.139
Caillou. Oh, God. First of all, why? The parents

00:41:24.139 --> 00:41:27.079
must have hated that kid. Oh, yeah. We're going

00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:28.900
to name him after the most annoying character

00:41:28.900 --> 00:41:31.659
on all of television. Right next to Jar Jar Binks.

00:41:31.900 --> 00:41:36.139
Television history. Yeah. At White Sox Jerry.

00:41:36.340 --> 00:41:38.679
Hi, guys. Well, we're in first place. When do

00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:41.940
we blow it? Damn, Jerry's got problems, man.

00:41:42.059 --> 00:41:44.920
He's got PTSD from that 100 loss season. Uh -huh.

00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:47.460
Yeah. I mean, at least you guys are winning,

00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:50.599
you know? Like, both the north side and south

00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:54.070
side have had their... Ups and downs. Just enjoy

00:41:54.070 --> 00:41:56.289
it. This year. Yeah, just enjoy the ups, man.

00:41:56.570 --> 00:41:58.469
Get more of those milkshakes or whatever if they

00:41:58.469 --> 00:42:01.090
still have them. Oh, that campfire milkshake?

00:42:01.190 --> 00:42:03.570
Yeah, man. Dude. That's what's up. Like, those

00:42:03.570 --> 00:42:05.869
guys could just lose 100 games every year. I

00:42:05.869 --> 00:42:07.289
would still go to that place to get that shake.

00:42:07.349 --> 00:42:09.510
Get that shake, yeah. Yeah. I would just say,

00:42:09.590 --> 00:42:11.389
I know people were clowning on the Sox. They

00:42:11.389 --> 00:42:14.010
got rid of Cease and a bunch of other, like,

00:42:14.030 --> 00:42:17.119
quote -unquote top -tier players. But, I mean,

00:42:17.179 --> 00:42:19.079
the ragtag crew they got right now is kind of

00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:21.800
killing it. So I would just say. Winning more

00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:24.159
than they're losing. Yeah. I would just say enjoy

00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:27.260
it while you got it. Right. And just keep your

00:42:27.260 --> 00:42:32.000
expectations reasonable come playoff time. Well,

00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:33.780
I was just about to say, if you make the playoffs,

00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:36.400
mission accomplished. Yeah. Yeah, there you go.

00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:38.019
Then you got something. You just lost 100 games.

00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:40.960
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, be happy with where you're

00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:44.980
at. You know, you got a future. Maybe get one

00:42:44.980 --> 00:42:47.260
or two vets next year and make a run because

00:42:47.260 --> 00:42:49.400
most of the American League completely sucks.

00:42:49.659 --> 00:42:52.400
Yeah. Would you say, in your expert sports opinion,

00:42:52.619 --> 00:42:54.960
not to harken back on the Coach's Corner days,

00:42:55.099 --> 00:42:56.699
but would you say this is one of the quickest

00:42:56.699 --> 00:43:00.219
turnarounds in sports history? Definitely on

00:43:00.219 --> 00:43:02.280
the quicker side. It's happened just a few times,

00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:05.480
but it's pretty quick. Yeah. Usually. And I think

00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:08.670
back to the Cubs when they won in 2016. I think

00:43:08.670 --> 00:43:12.409
it was 2010 and 2011 that they had, well, not

00:43:12.409 --> 00:43:14.650
as quite bad of years as the White Sox had, but

00:43:14.650 --> 00:43:17.389
they had 100 lost seasons. Yeah. But you have

00:43:17.389 --> 00:43:19.289
to walk before you can run. And so to be able

00:43:19.289 --> 00:43:21.690
to do that, you had to suck. And to suck, you

00:43:21.690 --> 00:43:25.769
know, that meant getting... Chris Bryant, for

00:43:25.769 --> 00:43:27.429
example, where you don't get him unless you suck

00:43:27.429 --> 00:43:30.829
because then you get him in the draft. And then

00:43:30.829 --> 00:43:33.030
you're able to make a move and get Rizzo and

00:43:33.030 --> 00:43:34.630
get Lester and get guys like that. I mean, it

00:43:34.630 --> 00:43:37.750
just takes time. So the fact that they're already

00:43:37.750 --> 00:43:39.329
looking at the playoffs, they're already probably

00:43:39.329 --> 00:43:42.610
a year or two ahead of schedule. Yeah. All right,

00:43:42.630 --> 00:43:46.590
last one. At StonerStanley420, Momo and Alan,

00:43:46.949 --> 00:43:50.949
happy Planet Day. Who is it? I didn't know that

00:43:50.949 --> 00:43:54.179
was a thing. Do you know? That we are on the

00:43:54.179 --> 00:44:00.460
one that is here. Okay. It is here and I am happy.

00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:05.039
Smokey, smokey. No, my van is smokey. Oh, God.

00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:09.300
Did he do it in a head gasket? Oh, no. Oh, no.

00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:16.099
I hope it's from Herb and not his tailpipe. His

00:44:16.099 --> 00:44:18.159
tailpipe, yeah. I don't even know if Stan knows

00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:21.760
what a head gasket is. No. Which is also alarming.

00:44:22.269 --> 00:44:24.949
That is alarming. Yeah. Yeah. As a vehicle owner,

00:44:25.070 --> 00:44:26.730
you should probably know what a head gasket is.

00:44:26.730 --> 00:44:28.590
You should probably have an idea. Just an idea.

00:44:28.889 --> 00:44:31.250
Yeah. So I like where your head's at. Hopefully

00:44:31.250 --> 00:44:34.630
he's just... Smoking a lot. Smoking a lot on

00:44:34.630 --> 00:44:36.969
the happy planet day, which is the one that is

00:44:36.969 --> 00:44:41.550
here. Which one is here? Don't get it twisted.

00:44:41.690 --> 00:44:44.610
This is an assumption. He could be talking about

00:44:44.610 --> 00:44:48.070
Earth. He might be. That's a crazy take, but

00:44:48.070 --> 00:44:50.840
I'm sticking by it. Yeah. And a happy Planet

00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:52.900
Day to you too, Stan. Indeed. Indeed, Stanley.

00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:56.079
He's just out there loving life. I'm trying to

00:44:56.079 --> 00:44:58.659
get to where you're at, Stanley. You're my hero.

00:44:58.780 --> 00:45:01.980
Role model. Right. God damn, Stan. I just, I

00:45:01.980 --> 00:45:06.000
want, I want a van down by the water with my

00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:07.719
best friend being a squirrel. Being a squirrel.

00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:10.159
Bathing with the fishes? Bathing with the fishes.

00:45:10.179 --> 00:45:11.780
How can you go wrong? Dude. It's living life.

00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:14.800
Honestly, that's kind of, that's the new American

00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:17.059
dream. I think it is. The escape from capitalism.

00:45:17.610 --> 00:45:21.090
And also, wherever he gets his supply. Yeah.

00:45:21.190 --> 00:45:23.610
You know? I don't know how he gets income to

00:45:23.610 --> 00:45:25.230
purchase the supply. He could just be a home

00:45:25.230 --> 00:45:27.889
grower. He could be a gardener. He might be.

00:45:27.969 --> 00:45:29.769
He might be just smoking what's around him. Happy

00:45:29.769 --> 00:45:31.789
Planet Day. He's a gardener. Happy Planet Day.

00:45:31.849 --> 00:45:34.909
I, too, am a tree hugger, but gardening here

00:45:34.909 --> 00:45:37.949
is not legal in that sense. Indeed. Not yet,

00:45:37.949 --> 00:45:42.869
anyway. Yeah. All right, so what do you have?

00:45:43.170 --> 00:45:46.050
I have some curious ones today. Uh -huh. Didn't

00:45:46.050 --> 00:45:48.239
expect to get them, but... Hey, they submitted

00:45:48.239 --> 00:45:50.619
their Carpe Diem's the correct way. Uh -huh.

00:45:51.980 --> 00:45:57.039
BugBed69 asking, would you be attracted to insects

00:45:57.039 --> 00:46:00.460
if they were human -sized, or is that just me?

00:46:01.539 --> 00:46:07.800
Hmm. Oh, yeah. BugBed69. Not BedBug. BugBed69.

00:46:08.300 --> 00:46:11.880
Okay. I see where they're at now. Yeah. Attracted

00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:14.849
to insects if they were human -sized. You know

00:46:14.849 --> 00:46:17.389
what? You could get me on butterflies. If we're

00:46:17.389 --> 00:46:19.670
doing a smash or pass, I think butterflies smash.

00:46:20.130 --> 00:46:24.570
Yeah. Mosquitoes pass. Any stinging insect, pass.

00:46:24.570 --> 00:46:28.170
That's no good. Yeah. Although bumblebee, smash.

00:46:29.610 --> 00:46:32.429
Bumblebees and butterflies, you got me. Ladybugs?

00:46:32.610 --> 00:46:35.809
What's your take on ladybugs? They bite. That's

00:46:35.809 --> 00:46:38.110
a pass. They bite. Unless you're into that kind

00:46:38.110 --> 00:46:40.489
of thing. That's true. I mean, we don't hate

00:46:40.489 --> 00:46:45.019
here, but just not for me. Yeah, I can't think

00:46:45.019 --> 00:46:48.860
of an insect that, you know, because. All right.

00:46:48.900 --> 00:46:52.340
So like when Elmer Fudd's chasing Bugs Bunny,

00:46:52.420 --> 00:46:54.739
he's trying to kill Bugs Bunny until Bugs Bunny

00:46:54.739 --> 00:46:57.059
puts on a dress. Then he wants to fuck Bugs Bunny.

00:46:57.500 --> 00:47:01.219
That's like a thing. So I get it now. I'm like,

00:47:01.300 --> 00:47:04.940
OK, I'm Elmer Fudd. What insect is putting that

00:47:04.940 --> 00:47:06.719
dress on that makes me want to fuck that insect?

00:47:07.099 --> 00:47:11.039
And we're assuming these insects are intelligent

00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:14.400
enough to consent. That's the assumption. Right,

00:47:14.460 --> 00:47:17.239
correct. Because otherwise this is very problematic.

00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:20.639
Oh, it's incredibly problematic. So that's the

00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:23.280
assumption I'm going with. I have to say I don't

00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:26.599
think there's an insect out there. Not even butterflies

00:47:26.599 --> 00:47:29.920
get you going? No. No, because they're just too,

00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:34.119
like... just like their wings like in your face

00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:36.440
you'd be making your move and then it'd be just

00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:39.099
like think of scrooged when that fairy is smacking

00:47:39.099 --> 00:47:40.599
bill murray in the face with her wings oh yeah

00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:43.960
yeah i'd just be like ah fuck stop stop like

00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:46.420
it'd be it'd be a problem you know that's that's

00:47:46.420 --> 00:47:48.719
a libido problem because then then mr happy is

00:47:48.719 --> 00:47:50.480
gonna be like yeah i'm not really like this anymore

00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:52.480
i don't think i don't think that's too much all

00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:54.000
at once i don't think that's gonna work for me

00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:57.199
i see So, yeah, the wings and the flapping and

00:47:57.199 --> 00:47:59.800
the whole thing and, like, a hummingbird, hell,

00:47:59.860 --> 00:48:02.619
that would kill you. Oh, yeah. You know, those

00:48:02.619 --> 00:48:04.659
wings coming at you 100 miles an hour. That's

00:48:04.659 --> 00:48:06.679
not really an insect, but I like where your head's

00:48:06.679 --> 00:48:13.780
at. Yeah, I mean, it kind of is. I don't. Any

00:48:13.780 --> 00:48:17.780
scientist, lovely listeners out there, is a hummingbird

00:48:17.780 --> 00:48:20.980
kind of an insect? It kind of is. Mark Moe wants

00:48:20.980 --> 00:48:24.539
to know. It kind of is. Because it's small. It's

00:48:24.539 --> 00:48:26.519
always hanging out by the plants with the bumblebees

00:48:26.519 --> 00:48:28.599
and all the other little pollinators. Floating

00:48:28.599 --> 00:48:30.599
out of some flowers. Right. Getting their little

00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:33.900
juice. Yeah. What other bird's doing that? I

00:48:33.900 --> 00:48:36.199
don't know. None. I'm not a bird myself. So I

00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:38.539
couldn't tell you. It's hummingbird slash insect.

00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:43.159
I mean, the bird is in the name. So what the

00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:46.519
fuck do I know? Well. Bird is only in the name.

00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:49.260
Elephantitis has to do with your nuts. It doesn't

00:48:49.260 --> 00:48:52.610
mean it goes and has a trunk. So, I mean. Well,

00:48:52.630 --> 00:48:57.449
that's only a problem for some of us. True. It's

00:48:57.449 --> 00:49:00.989
what's in a name. It's just a name. Yeah. They

00:49:00.989 --> 00:49:04.210
buzz outside my window and look in at my work.

00:49:04.570 --> 00:49:07.510
First of all, freak. Get away from my office.

00:49:07.809 --> 00:49:10.929
Peeping Tom. Right. Peeping hummingbird. Peeping

00:49:10.929 --> 00:49:14.230
Tomingbird. Got it. I like that. Yeah, not bad.

00:49:14.349 --> 00:49:17.260
I like that. Yeah, no, I don't, you know, insects

00:49:17.260 --> 00:49:19.960
are hummingbirds. Zero insects get your pets.

00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:22.980
Nah, they really, I might want to cuddle with

00:49:22.980 --> 00:49:25.179
a life -size bumblebee. Bumblebee, yeah, right.

00:49:25.340 --> 00:49:27.000
Like I'd want to cuddle with one. Because it's

00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:29.500
like a bear with wings. It's a flying panda.

00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:32.340
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's what that is.

00:49:32.619 --> 00:49:36.039
That's fair. But no, any sort of like romantic

00:49:36.039 --> 00:49:38.360
or sexual, no, none of that. Not feeling it?

00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:41.360
Mm -mm. I think butterflies and bumblebees. That

00:49:41.360 --> 00:49:44.179
would be. I think that's totally fair. That's

00:49:44.179 --> 00:49:46.860
fair. I'm trying to think of other insects, but

00:49:46.860 --> 00:49:49.159
none are coming to mind that I don't find vile.

00:49:49.480 --> 00:49:51.860
Oh, I know. Because most of them are either stinging

00:49:51.860 --> 00:49:55.159
or biting. Even dragonflies, which are like the

00:49:55.159 --> 00:50:01.159
attack helicopters of the butterfly world, just

00:50:01.159 --> 00:50:04.340
too scary. Right. You know, it's like a tank

00:50:04.340 --> 00:50:07.500
with wings. Yeah. And like lightning bugs, it's

00:50:07.500 --> 00:50:09.800
like... I don't want to get with one, but like

00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:12.500
I'd love to be friends with one. Like your glasses

00:50:12.500 --> 00:50:13.820
fall off your bed in the middle of the night

00:50:13.820 --> 00:50:16.780
and be like, yo, lightning bug. Hey, light me

00:50:16.780 --> 00:50:19.280
up, bro. Right here. Out there, there. Thanks,

00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:22.719
man. My man. You know, so that would be a helpful

00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:26.719
friend. Yeah, I get that. 100%. Next DM I got

00:50:26.719 --> 00:50:30.980
here from Rip Scuzzle. Rip. What do you like

00:50:30.980 --> 00:50:41.110
least about your body? I think my sinuses would

00:50:41.110 --> 00:50:43.750
be up there. Don't like my sinuses. They often

00:50:43.750 --> 00:50:47.250
get in the way. Even when I'm not sick or if

00:50:47.250 --> 00:50:49.530
it's not allergy season, they're still kind of

00:50:49.530 --> 00:50:52.570
a nuisance. Yeah. I would say my toenails grow

00:50:52.570 --> 00:50:56.690
too fast for my liking. The amount of times I

00:50:56.690 --> 00:50:59.449
have to clip them seems like too many per year,

00:50:59.570 --> 00:51:03.510
which I don't like. Oh, what else is there? I've

00:51:03.510 --> 00:51:07.019
gotten... Some weird backhanded mentions of my

00:51:07.019 --> 00:51:09.739
nose being big, but I've never really thought

00:51:09.739 --> 00:51:12.099
of that as too big a problem because at least

00:51:12.099 --> 00:51:14.639
it holds my glasses on my face pretty well. Your

00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:16.659
nose is your nose. Yeah, I think it's a regular

00:51:16.659 --> 00:51:19.480
size nose. Regular people kind of nose. So I

00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:21.639
would say sinuses and toenails are one and two.

00:51:22.099 --> 00:51:25.440
And then honestly, if I'm going three, ass hair.

00:51:25.860 --> 00:51:28.820
What is it doing? Why? What's the purpose? What's

00:51:28.820 --> 00:51:31.000
it doing in there? I think that's one, two, and

00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:36.559
three for me is sinuses. ass hair and then the

00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:40.940
toenails that's fair yeah i think for me it's

00:51:40.940 --> 00:51:44.280
just my belly which luckily i have control over

00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:47.780
because i can make it go away um which i've been

00:51:47.780 --> 00:51:50.079
dropping weight so not as quickly as i'd like

00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:52.500
but if i get back in the gym soon then progress

00:51:52.500 --> 00:51:54.639
is progress brother progress is progress so i'll

00:51:54.639 --> 00:51:58.829
take it um i just say my belly um I, too, have

00:51:58.829 --> 00:52:00.889
issues with the eyes and the sinuses. Like, all

00:52:00.889 --> 00:52:03.269
that's inherited shit, though. Oh, sure. That

00:52:03.269 --> 00:52:07.789
goes way back. Nothing we can do about. But,

00:52:07.849 --> 00:52:11.769
yeah, like my arms and my shoulders I like. And

00:52:11.769 --> 00:52:16.369
I got sweet ass. You know, I'm the first to admit

00:52:16.369 --> 00:52:19.809
it. And some sweet ass tattoos. And some sweet

00:52:19.809 --> 00:52:22.929
ass tattoos. Yeah, because I slowly adorned my

00:52:22.929 --> 00:52:26.280
body here in my later years. So, yeah, there's

00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:28.340
probably more that I like than I don't like.

00:52:28.420 --> 00:52:31.000
More pros than cons. I think so, too. I think

00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:33.980
overall I'm somewhat handsome, like the way the

00:52:33.980 --> 00:52:36.280
face is. I think that's pretty good. Both got

00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:39.039
good heads of hair on us. And we do. Like if

00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:42.099
I let this thing grow like Aiden has. Oh, yeah.

00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:46.179
It's going crazy. Everybody, my one friend at

00:52:46.179 --> 00:52:48.519
work, Laura, her nickname is Southside because,

00:52:48.619 --> 00:52:50.699
you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She lives on Northside.

00:52:51.460 --> 00:52:55.260
But of course. But of course. That was one of

00:52:55.260 --> 00:52:56.880
the first things she noticed. She saw a picture

00:52:56.880 --> 00:52:59.139
of you. She's like, oh, my God, his hair. I love

00:52:59.139 --> 00:53:02.039
his hair. That's very kind. It's one of the few

00:53:02.039 --> 00:53:04.179
things I get compliments on from, like, strangers.

00:53:04.239 --> 00:53:06.199
It's just like, oh, cool hair. I'm like, oh,

00:53:06.219 --> 00:53:09.340
thanks, man. Yeah. So, like, if my dad's dad,

00:53:09.579 --> 00:53:12.300
his great grandfather, had let his hair grow,

00:53:12.460 --> 00:53:14.880
it would look exactly like that. I've got lighter

00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:18.579
hair than you. It's either light brown or dark

00:53:18.579 --> 00:53:21.400
blonde. Somewhere, especially sun bleached, it

00:53:21.400 --> 00:53:25.179
looks more blonde. Yeah. But same kind of curly,

00:53:25.340 --> 00:53:28.219
wavy quality to it. Yeah. And the only real gray

00:53:28.219 --> 00:53:31.440
I have is still in my beard. Not so much up on

00:53:31.440 --> 00:53:33.340
the top of my head. So you got to be happy about

00:53:33.340 --> 00:53:35.019
that. That's what's going to come for me first

00:53:35.019 --> 00:53:37.679
is with how red my beard is. I know those red

00:53:37.679 --> 00:53:39.300
hairs are the first to go gray. Those always

00:53:39.300 --> 00:53:43.059
go white. Those are the first to go gray. Oh,

00:53:43.059 --> 00:53:45.760
man. I already see a little bit in there. I better

00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:48.320
stop looking. Hey, that's all right. That's all

00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:50.840
right. There's ways you can combat that. This

00:53:50.840 --> 00:53:54.480
is true. I just can't. Oh, that'll be issue number

00:53:54.480 --> 00:54:01.119
four. Small chin, soft jaw. I cannot fully shave

00:54:01.119 --> 00:54:03.659
my beard. It's the only thing that gives my face

00:54:03.659 --> 00:54:06.340
any shape. I don't know where I got the small.

00:54:06.360 --> 00:54:07.719
I don't know where you got that from because

00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:11.380
I'm like, I got it pretty squared off. Jaw. Soft

00:54:11.380 --> 00:54:14.679
chin, small jaw. Hmm. Yeah. Not sure where I

00:54:14.679 --> 00:54:16.300
got that from. Could have been the other side

00:54:16.300 --> 00:54:18.900
of the family. But yeah, I have to keep some

00:54:18.900 --> 00:54:21.559
kind of beard to give me a little shape, man.

00:54:21.619 --> 00:54:24.079
To get some shape. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But the beard's

00:54:24.079 --> 00:54:26.179
glorious, so it works. Boy, thank you. Much appreciated.

00:54:26.219 --> 00:54:28.900
Yeah, that's good. Final DM I got here today.

00:54:29.500 --> 00:54:32.059
CrippyGrew checking in again. Crip. Kind of a

00:54:32.059 --> 00:54:36.219
timely question here. Would you rather have AC

00:54:36.219 --> 00:54:39.579
break when it's 100 degrees outside? or have

00:54:39.579 --> 00:54:42.320
your furnace break when it's 5 degrees outside.

00:54:42.699 --> 00:54:45.920
And I'm assuming this is in Fahrenheit. For all

00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:49.980
of you Celsius users, 100 C, we would all die.

00:54:50.119 --> 00:54:53.159
We would all pass away. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Wow.

00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:57.940
Having just been through it, I have a brand new

00:54:57.940 --> 00:55:01.239
appreciation for AC and house fans and tower

00:55:01.239 --> 00:55:05.000
fans and box fans. I can't deal with the heat.

00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:08.260
If it's 5 degrees outside... And my furnace goes

00:55:08.260 --> 00:55:11.039
out. Dude, I got enough blankets to last me a

00:55:11.039 --> 00:55:14.019
lifetime. Yeah. I got hoodies. I got hats. I

00:55:14.019 --> 00:55:16.360
would much rather have my furnace break when

00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:19.599
it's cold outside. Yeah. I'll layer up, dog.

00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:23.659
I have to have AC. And that's a privilege take,

00:55:23.719 --> 00:55:26.400
I know. But I have to have it. You know what's

00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:30.300
amazing? And I heard this shit less than a month

00:55:30.300 --> 00:55:34.000
ago, probably. Most people in Europe don't have

00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:36.150
AC. Don't have AC, yeah. It's not a thing. I

00:55:36.150 --> 00:55:39.090
I'm floored by that. Cause I mean, do they get

00:55:39.090 --> 00:55:41.909
like the heat that we get in the South and the

00:55:41.909 --> 00:55:45.550
Midwest? Probably not. But I would imagine like

00:55:45.550 --> 00:55:49.730
Greece and Italy and Spain. Possibly. Yeah. They

00:55:49.730 --> 00:55:53.150
probably get hot. So I think to myself, self

00:55:53.150 --> 00:55:55.550
on those days where it pushes a hundred degrees

00:55:55.550 --> 00:55:58.369
for them, what do they do? They just deal with

00:55:58.369 --> 00:56:01.690
it or they just used to it. Right. Or is it so

00:56:01.690 --> 00:56:04.940
infrequent that. One hot day and then the next

00:56:04.940 --> 00:56:07.920
day it's back down to like 82. Right. Much more

00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:10.719
manageable. Yeah. And they might not have the

00:56:10.719 --> 00:56:12.760
humidity that we do. Or they just have better

00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:15.679
built buildings. That could be true. Where the

00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:17.639
airflow is more logical and they have awnings

00:56:17.639 --> 00:56:20.619
to prevent the sunlight getting in. Yeah. That's

00:56:20.619 --> 00:56:23.199
probably true too. Yeah. I think it's just more

00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:26.300
logically built where AC is perhaps not a necessity.

00:56:26.599 --> 00:56:29.679
Where in most of the U .S. it most certainly

00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:34.710
is. Yeah. Oh, no doubt. I think for me, I'd probably

00:56:34.710 --> 00:56:39.030
be the same way as you. Although I lived in Florida

00:56:39.030 --> 00:56:42.829
for a year where it's a different kind of heat.

00:56:43.030 --> 00:56:45.869
It is different. It makes the heat up here look

00:56:45.869 --> 00:56:49.489
like a beautiful day. I mean, it's a different

00:56:49.489 --> 00:56:54.269
hot altogether. And if you go in your car after

00:56:54.269 --> 00:56:56.449
a day at work and you go sit in that, you can't.

00:56:56.489 --> 00:56:58.690
You literally have to open all your doors. Oh,

00:56:58.690 --> 00:57:00.889
yeah. And let that thing air out because it's

00:57:00.889 --> 00:57:03.659
like... Even with the windshield screen in there,

00:57:03.800 --> 00:57:05.739
it still gets brutal. It's the surf of the sun,

00:57:05.820 --> 00:57:10.340
man. It's ridiculous. So yeah, the heat is just

00:57:10.340 --> 00:57:12.219
different, man. And hey, I'm not saying five

00:57:12.219 --> 00:57:14.099
degrees is great, but if you're in a building

00:57:14.099 --> 00:57:17.340
with decent insulation and there are things that

00:57:17.340 --> 00:57:19.239
you can do and you can layer up and you can do

00:57:19.239 --> 00:57:21.559
stuff, you can make it a little bit. Oh, easily.

00:57:21.820 --> 00:57:26.210
And also the fact that humans radiate heat. That's

00:57:26.210 --> 00:57:29.289
why we glow on infrared. We radiate heat. Humans

00:57:29.289 --> 00:57:32.250
actually glow. That is a scientific fact. Humans

00:57:32.250 --> 00:57:35.690
are so hot that we glow. We just happen to be

00:57:35.690 --> 00:57:37.849
surrounded by much hotter things, like the sun.

00:57:38.130 --> 00:57:41.250
Like the sun, yeah. If you cover yourself with

00:57:41.250 --> 00:57:44.929
enough blankets, layer up enough, your body heat

00:57:44.929 --> 00:57:47.429
will keep you warm enough. Period. Full stop.

00:57:47.889 --> 00:57:51.630
That's true. That solves my problem. There are

00:57:51.630 --> 00:57:54.889
not enough layers I can take off. uh to to become

00:57:54.889 --> 00:57:57.130
cool enough especially with like if you're down

00:57:57.130 --> 00:57:59.250
to your boxers and you're dying oh yeah that's

00:57:59.250 --> 00:58:01.730
it wet bulb temperatures and shit dude that kills

00:58:01.730 --> 00:58:04.469
people oh yeah that was the last dm i received

00:58:04.469 --> 00:58:06.769
here today from creepy brew well you can take

00:58:06.769 --> 00:58:09.349
my furnace bro i need the ac yeah oh yeah so

00:58:09.349 --> 00:58:12.889
for all of you uh thank you for those dms uh

00:58:12.889 --> 00:58:15.949
feel free to send us messages on our socials

00:58:15.949 --> 00:58:19.090
or anywhere else for that matter happy to well

00:58:19.090 --> 00:58:22.260
make them part of our show Now, before we continue

00:58:22.260 --> 00:58:25.619
on to our next break, we have started this new

00:58:25.619 --> 00:58:29.599
thing called South Side Theater. And that is

00:58:29.599 --> 00:58:33.980
where we reenact movie scenes or TV shows in

00:58:33.980 --> 00:58:39.179
the voice of South Siders from Chicago. And this

00:58:39.179 --> 00:58:42.000
one I thought would be kind of fun. It is a movie

00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:44.219
I don't like at all. I think it's a movie most

00:58:44.219 --> 00:58:49.139
women tend to like. It is a romantic comedy called

00:58:49.139 --> 00:58:52.489
The Notebook. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams,

00:58:52.530 --> 00:58:55.989
I believe. I'll take your word for it. Right.

00:58:57.349 --> 00:59:00.969
Whatever. And this is what it is. This is what

00:59:00.969 --> 00:59:03.869
it is. All right. This is from The Notebook.

00:59:03.909 --> 00:59:11.809
This is a small talk part of the movie between

00:59:11.809 --> 00:59:15.090
Noah and Allie. And it's when they're in town

00:59:15.090 --> 00:59:16.789
and they're having this little conversation.

00:59:17.429 --> 00:59:20.150
Question is, do you want to be Noah? Or do you

00:59:20.150 --> 00:59:22.590
want to be Allie? I'll be Allie today. I'm feeling

00:59:22.590 --> 00:59:25.829
a little Allie myself. All righty. All righty.

00:59:25.829 --> 00:59:28.130
He's going to be Allie. I'll be Noah. And this

00:59:28.130 --> 00:59:32.909
is from The Notebook. Do you remember me? Yeah,

00:59:32.929 --> 00:59:37.429
sure. Mr. Will -You -Dance -Me -We. Was it? Ah,

00:59:37.429 --> 00:59:41.929
yeah. How could I forget? Yeah, I wanted to clear...

00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:45.519
that up with you because I'm really sorry about

00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:49.679
that. It was a really stupid thing to do. But

00:59:49.679 --> 00:59:54.760
I had to be next to you. I was being drawn to

00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:58.739
you. Oh, my friend. Geez, what a line. Do you

00:59:58.739 --> 01:00:03.300
lose that on all the girls? Nah. Right, right.

01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:06.739
I saw you the other night with Little Miss Ribbons.

01:00:07.400 --> 01:00:11.289
What are you doing tonight? What? Or tomorrow

01:00:11.289 --> 01:00:14.630
night, or this weekend, whatever. My friend,

01:00:14.650 --> 01:00:20.429
why? Why? Our date? What? Date? The date you

01:00:20.429 --> 01:00:23.630
agreed to. No, no, no, my friend. Yes, you did.

01:00:23.730 --> 01:00:27.730
You promised, and you swore it. Well, buddy,

01:00:27.889 --> 01:00:32.320
I guess I changed my mind. Look. I know you get

01:00:32.320 --> 01:00:35.400
some dirty guy coming up to you on the street.

01:00:35.460 --> 01:00:37.719
You don't know him. You don't know me, but I

01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:41.800
know me. And when I see something that I like,

01:00:41.900 --> 01:00:46.659
I gotta, I love it. I go, I mean, crazy for it,

01:00:46.679 --> 01:00:51.059
you know? Okay. What are you talking about? Well,

01:00:51.059 --> 01:00:58.219
you. End scene. End scene. Number one, we killed

01:00:58.219 --> 01:01:02.320
that. Number two. I want someone to just dub

01:01:02.320 --> 01:01:06.500
over the video part. With that. Use that audio.

01:01:06.579 --> 01:01:09.300
Please, someone out there with the skills. Please

01:01:09.300 --> 01:01:11.500
do that. Please do it. Please do it. Because

01:01:11.500 --> 01:01:15.920
it will improve the movie. I have seen parts

01:01:15.920 --> 01:01:19.880
of it. I can't stomach that movie. It's not great.

01:01:20.420 --> 01:01:23.320
Is that the one where it's the guy and he's like

01:01:23.320 --> 01:01:26.480
the Philadelphia Eagles fan? No. That's Silver

01:01:26.480 --> 01:01:29.539
Linings play. Oh. Yeah, I don't even. Oh, yeah.

01:01:30.059 --> 01:01:33.219
Gosling? Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Oh, yeah.

01:01:33.219 --> 01:01:35.179
But it's kind of a back and forth film. There's

01:01:35.179 --> 01:01:37.380
two older actors play their older selves. Oh,

01:01:37.380 --> 01:01:40.639
okay. Whatever. I've only seen memes from it.

01:01:40.659 --> 01:01:42.719
I honestly. Yes. Anyone out there that enjoys

01:01:42.719 --> 01:01:46.840
the movie, good for you. It's maybe just not

01:01:46.840 --> 01:01:50.500
my form of entertainment. Most romantic movies

01:01:50.500 --> 01:01:55.940
are utter shit. It's just unrealistic garbage.

01:01:56.650 --> 01:02:00.250
Like, even if you watch it, you just have to

01:02:00.250 --> 01:02:03.190
sit there and go, whose life is this? Like, this

01:02:03.190 --> 01:02:05.030
shit doesn't happen. I'm like, this is crazy.

01:02:05.650 --> 01:02:10.050
ABC, always be unrealistic. Right. And, you know,

01:02:10.070 --> 01:02:12.570
if it's a romantic comedy, like, I can deal with

01:02:12.570 --> 01:02:15.269
that. Like, that's one you can take your significant

01:02:15.269 --> 01:02:17.670
other to because it's like, all right, she'll

01:02:17.670 --> 01:02:20.369
get the froofy romantic stuff and then she'll

01:02:20.369 --> 01:02:22.030
be all romantic with you later. So there's a

01:02:22.030 --> 01:02:24.469
benefit later on. Number two, it's romantic.

01:02:24.860 --> 01:02:26.460
Comedy, which means you're probably going to

01:02:26.460 --> 01:02:29.139
laugh at a few things. So definitely when it

01:02:29.139 --> 01:02:32.119
comes to romantic comedies, I'm much more amenable

01:02:32.119 --> 01:02:35.860
to those than I am just some romantic drama,

01:02:36.179 --> 01:02:39.639
you know, mad at a woman in the desert. The Nazis

01:02:39.639 --> 01:02:41.340
are coming and they only have each other. Well,

01:02:41.420 --> 01:02:44.039
that's sad. Whatever. Best of luck to you. I

01:02:44.039 --> 01:02:46.659
don't know what to tell you. Yeah, I'm not a

01:02:46.659 --> 01:02:49.480
fan of those. Yeah. At all, really. It's just,

01:02:49.539 --> 01:02:54.219
it's garbage. Fluff. Garbage fluff. You heard

01:02:54.219 --> 01:02:56.139
that here first, ladies and gentlemen. Garbage

01:02:56.139 --> 01:02:58.400
fluff. That's what I pull out of my dryer vent.

01:02:58.699 --> 01:03:02.920
Oh, me too. We'll catch you in a minute. All

01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:05.460
right, we're back, guys, with our signature segment,

01:03:05.559 --> 01:03:09.260
which is you just made the list. Here on the

01:03:09.260 --> 01:03:12.179
Mark Mo Show, I'm the host, Mark, and that's

01:03:12.179 --> 01:03:17.860
Aiden. And today's list, or I should say category,

01:03:18.079 --> 01:03:21.670
whatever, topic. is top 10 food cities. Now,

01:03:21.769 --> 01:03:24.429
the way we do it is top 10, 10 through 2, with

01:03:24.429 --> 01:03:28.329
our big number one reveal, and the rules that

01:03:28.329 --> 01:03:30.869
we have to rules, rules, rules we have to follow.

01:03:31.329 --> 01:03:34.670
Oh, wait. One rule. No rules. Woo -hoo! Let's

01:03:34.670 --> 01:03:36.929
freaking go, chat. Yeah, we good. Smash that

01:03:36.929 --> 01:03:38.809
subscribe button if that's your favorite rule.

01:03:39.090 --> 01:03:41.170
We good. Well, that is everybody's favorite rule.

01:03:41.650 --> 01:03:44.710
So, here we go. We'll let Aiden kick this one

01:03:44.710 --> 01:03:49.699
off. Top 10 food cities. Best food... Cities.

01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:55.400
Numero 10 went with Kyoto, Japan. Just how this

01:03:55.400 --> 01:03:57.679
wonderful cultural center we've always said,

01:03:57.780 --> 01:04:00.360
you know, I think we've done like a top five

01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:03.219
bucket list destinations. And I think Kyoto ended

01:04:03.219 --> 01:04:07.340
up on both of ours. And as it turns out, excellent

01:04:07.340 --> 01:04:10.360
food city as well. Number nine, Naples, Italy.

01:04:11.079 --> 01:04:13.579
If there's one thing people know about the Italians,

01:04:13.840 --> 01:04:18.219
they make the food. Hey. Oh. Oh. I'm making pizza

01:04:18.219 --> 01:04:21.199
over here. Making pizza here. Number eight, I

01:04:21.199 --> 01:04:24.820
had Lima, Peru. Kind of fascinating looking up

01:04:24.820 --> 01:04:27.659
the food history of Peru and their, of course,

01:04:27.679 --> 01:04:30.840
major cultural center there, Lima, of the different

01:04:30.840 --> 01:04:34.639
influences from both Asia and Spain and also

01:04:34.639 --> 01:04:38.579
the Native South American influences. Very, very

01:04:38.579 --> 01:04:42.300
fascinating. Number seven, Shanghai, China. Yeah.

01:04:42.800 --> 01:04:45.039
They somehow keep making my lists because it

01:04:45.039 --> 01:04:47.619
just seems like a wonderful city with a beautiful

01:04:47.619 --> 01:04:50.119
skyline and good food. That would be... God bless

01:04:50.119 --> 01:04:52.400
you, Shanghai. Place to go, for sure. Damn right.

01:04:52.800 --> 01:04:57.059
Number six, New York City, USA. Mm -hmm. Just,

01:04:57.119 --> 01:04:59.199
I mean, Michelin star restaurants in every damn

01:04:59.199 --> 01:05:01.739
corner, it seems like. Yeah. And also you get

01:05:01.739 --> 01:05:03.340
the Gordon Ramsay spot, which is pretty righteous.

01:05:03.719 --> 01:05:07.099
Yeah, I would agree. Number five, Paris, France.

01:05:07.460 --> 01:05:10.739
You see... French people, I give you some love

01:05:10.739 --> 01:05:13.340
sometimes. We do. We'll give you flowers where

01:05:13.340 --> 01:05:15.480
you deserve. Just keep the fucking snails out

01:05:15.480 --> 01:05:20.559
of my mouth. Number four. Number four. Chicago,

01:05:20.840 --> 01:05:25.099
USA. Yeah. Oh, god damn. I love Chicago food.

01:05:25.239 --> 01:05:28.280
It's honestly a blessing that we live in Chicagoland

01:05:28.280 --> 01:05:30.199
and we just get to eat it every day. It's a great

01:05:30.199 --> 01:05:31.900
food city. There are tourists that come by and

01:05:31.900 --> 01:05:33.360
they're like, oh my god, I wish I could have

01:05:33.360 --> 01:05:37.309
this every day. Well, we can. I just have to

01:05:37.309 --> 01:05:40.670
not, otherwise I'd be like 400 pounds. For sure.

01:05:41.110 --> 01:05:46.150
Number three on my list, Rome, Italy. Yeah. Had

01:05:46.150 --> 01:05:48.510
to put it above Naples just because it's fucking

01:05:48.510 --> 01:05:51.070
Rome. What are you going to do? Yeah. But Italian

01:05:51.070 --> 01:05:54.389
food is Italian food. Number two, Mexico City,

01:05:54.590 --> 01:05:58.070
Mexico. One of, I don't know if it's one of the

01:05:58.070 --> 01:06:00.289
top 10 most populous cities in the world, but

01:06:00.289 --> 01:06:02.929
it's up there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And yeah, amazing

01:06:02.929 --> 01:06:06.480
food. I love Mexican cuisine. Mexican -American

01:06:06.480 --> 01:06:09.760
cuisine, traditional. It's just so damn good.

01:06:09.980 --> 01:06:12.579
Oh, yeah. It's amazing. They make my number two,

01:06:12.579 --> 01:06:16.920
and I'll save my number uno. All right. I love

01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:19.739
when we do lists like this because sometimes

01:06:19.739 --> 01:06:23.039
we'll do some variations of. So Aiden's is more

01:06:23.039 --> 01:06:26.380
global. Mine were all American cities, but I

01:06:26.380 --> 01:06:28.059
do agree with many of the ones that Aiden listed

01:06:28.059 --> 01:06:32.920
for sure. My honorable mentions are Las Vegas

01:06:32.920 --> 01:06:36.679
simply because... It's such a global destination

01:06:36.679 --> 01:06:40.679
that if you're looking for Chinese or barbecue

01:06:40.679 --> 01:06:44.760
or Americana or whatever, you're just going to

01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:46.679
find some amazing restaurants and some of the

01:06:46.679 --> 01:06:49.119
best buffets in the country. I've heard about

01:06:49.119 --> 01:06:51.000
the buffets. They're being pretty damn good.

01:06:51.320 --> 01:06:53.500
Oh, yeah. I mean, you go to these buffets and

01:06:53.500 --> 01:06:57.019
you can get a strip steak. You can get bone and

01:06:57.019 --> 01:07:00.719
ham. You got snow crab, snow crab legs, crab

01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:03.519
legs. Alaskan king crab legs? That might be it.

01:07:03.599 --> 01:07:06.230
Yeah, maybe. Yeah, and I'm not a fish guy. Or

01:07:06.230 --> 01:07:08.889
is that a lobster? No, king crab legs. King crab.

01:07:08.989 --> 01:07:09.909
Okay, that sounds right. I think you're right.

01:07:09.949 --> 01:07:11.869
Yeah, okay. I'm not a seafood guy, so I don't

01:07:11.869 --> 01:07:13.949
know. Oh, it's the main lobster. And then on

01:07:13.949 --> 01:07:16.130
the other side, it's the Alaskan crabs. Yes.

01:07:16.150 --> 01:07:18.869
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got it. I had the Alaskan crabs

01:07:18.869 --> 01:07:20.809
once. Man, that chick. God, what was I thinking?

01:07:20.989 --> 01:07:24.469
Anyway. But you're in Vegas. What happens if

01:07:24.469 --> 01:07:29.610
it stays there? Exactly. Alaskans. San Diego,

01:07:29.809 --> 01:07:32.269
also on the honorable mention. San Diego. San

01:07:32.269 --> 01:07:37.840
Diego. Which stands for the next city on my honorable

01:07:37.840 --> 01:07:41.420
mention is Milwaukee. They got the brewers. They

01:07:41.420 --> 01:07:44.659
got the cheese is what they got. God damn. Bless

01:07:44.659 --> 01:07:47.559
you, Wisconsin. Well, as we always said, you

01:07:47.559 --> 01:07:50.679
know, Wisconsin doesn't have a whole lot to offer.

01:07:51.139 --> 01:07:54.260
Sure. In general. This is true. But they've got

01:07:54.260 --> 01:07:57.420
the cheese. And they have the most lax. DUI laws

01:07:57.420 --> 01:07:59.920
in the entire country. Perhaps the entire world.

01:08:00.179 --> 01:08:02.579
Do they really? Oh, yeah. There's stories of

01:08:02.579 --> 01:08:05.699
people on their 16th DUI. That's crazy. And they

01:08:05.699 --> 01:08:09.059
just send them back on the roads. Jerry, you

01:08:09.059 --> 01:08:12.059
know, you gotta stop at 10. You gotta stop at

01:08:12.059 --> 01:08:17.640
10, Jerry. Right away, officer. Right after this

01:08:17.640 --> 01:08:20.579
last beer. I'm gonna go through the stoplight

01:08:20.579 --> 01:08:23.479
and then I'm gonna... That's a stop sign, Jerry.

01:08:23.850 --> 01:08:26.430
That's okay. I mean it, man. It's right by the

01:08:26.430 --> 01:08:28.949
bar I'm going to. It's right by the bar. I mean

01:08:28.949 --> 01:08:33.090
home. Home. Going home. It's my spiritual home,

01:08:33.189 --> 01:08:37.630
Ossifer. To the bar. And then, so now starting

01:08:37.630 --> 01:08:40.750
with my list, number 10, San Francisco. Excellent

01:08:40.750 --> 01:08:43.130
restaurants all over that town. Number nine,

01:08:43.310 --> 01:08:46.090
Miami. Oh, yeah. Good choice. So once again,

01:08:46.149 --> 01:08:48.130
you got seafood there, but you also have like

01:08:48.130 --> 01:08:50.289
Puerto Rican food and Cuban food. Just awesome

01:08:50.289 --> 01:08:53.069
stuff. Excellent cuisines, by the way. Number

01:08:53.069 --> 01:08:56.649
eight, Atlanta. Some of the best barbecue you're

01:08:56.649 --> 01:08:58.930
going to find in the country. Just like that

01:08:58.930 --> 01:09:02.449
soul food. I remember going through Atlanta as

01:09:02.449 --> 01:09:05.829
we did as a group. Yeah. Damn, that was good

01:09:05.829 --> 01:09:09.060
food. Yeah. Very good food in Atlanta. Nashville.

01:09:09.239 --> 01:09:11.659
You like that? Nashville hot chicken from Nashville.

01:09:11.920 --> 01:09:15.979
Man. And then just that southern food, that rich,

01:09:16.020 --> 01:09:23.500
you know, grits and biscuits and gravy. Oh, God,

01:09:23.520 --> 01:09:26.279
get real, man. Collard greens and fried chicken.

01:09:26.500 --> 01:09:29.159
Dude, God, my mouth is watering. I'm so hungry.

01:09:30.260 --> 01:09:33.239
Number six, Houston. Kind of the same thing with

01:09:33.239 --> 01:09:36.739
the... barbecue and all that and then number

01:09:36.739 --> 01:09:39.239
five i guess these could have been combined but

01:09:39.239 --> 01:09:42.819
austin texas that's fair uh the texas said texas

01:09:42.819 --> 01:09:45.369
does barbecue a little bit differently than most

01:09:45.369 --> 01:09:48.029
other places in the United States. Texas barbecue,

01:09:48.149 --> 01:09:50.289
it's like the real deal. I don't know if they

01:09:50.289 --> 01:09:53.569
grow their cows on steroids or what. Like you

01:09:53.569 --> 01:09:55.090
look at their plate of ribs and you're just like,

01:09:55.130 --> 01:09:57.250
oh my God, that doesn't look real. Everything's

01:09:57.250 --> 01:09:59.430
bigger in Texas, they say. Indeed. It kind of

01:09:59.430 --> 01:10:01.869
looks like, you know that side of ribs that Fred

01:10:01.869 --> 01:10:03.729
Flintstone gets when he pulls up in his car and

01:10:03.729 --> 01:10:05.409
the car tips over because the ribs are so damn

01:10:05.409 --> 01:10:09.539
big? That's Texas for you right there. uh number

01:10:09.539 --> 01:10:13.600
four uh new york city and that's just i mean

01:10:13.600 --> 01:10:16.500

i need to get some travel on real real soon and

01:10:23.760 --> 01:10:25.319
i'm hoping some things are going to allow me

01:10:25.319 --> 01:10:27.939
to do that in the very near future here but i

01:10:27.939 --> 01:10:29.800
like new york is definitely a city i want to

01:10:29.800 --> 01:10:31.779
get back to there's a lot of it i've not explored

01:10:31.779 --> 01:10:34.340
yet but like literally going to little italy

01:10:34.340 --> 01:10:37.579
and just jumping around to some of those uh dude

01:10:37.579 --> 01:10:40.359
you could spend a week in little italy you could

01:10:40.359 --> 01:10:43.380
and have three meals a day at anywhere new oh

01:10:43.380 --> 01:10:46.760
it'd be amazing and look i'm i'm a pizza snob

01:10:46.760 --> 01:10:49.039
and in chicago we've got our tavern style and

01:10:49.039 --> 01:10:51.479
our deep dish and those are the only that's the

01:10:51.479 --> 01:10:53.359
two types you need those are pretty that's the

01:10:53.359 --> 01:10:55.760
two types you need would i still want to go to

01:10:55.760 --> 01:10:58.270
new york and try like John O 'Bleeker's and some

01:10:58.270 --> 01:11:00.149
of the other ones. Of course. You'd have to.

01:11:00.449 --> 01:11:03.689
New York. Is it my preferred style? No, it is

01:11:03.689 --> 01:11:07.550
not. But I would do it. And, you know, quite

01:11:07.550 --> 01:11:11.670
frankly, delis. Oh, God. Yeah. Delis. End of

01:11:11.670 --> 01:11:14.329
it. No, we got mayonnaise in Chicago. We do.

01:11:14.489 --> 01:11:16.289
It's about the closest thing to a New York style

01:11:16.289 --> 01:11:18.770
deli that you're going to get. Sure. Anywhere

01:11:18.770 --> 01:11:22.670
around. So it's thank God for that. But New York

01:11:22.670 --> 01:11:25.590
style delis, cat's deli. Get yourself like a.

01:11:26.010 --> 01:11:28.310
Big, like I've seen their corned beef. It's ridiculous

01:11:28.310 --> 01:11:31.529
how much meat is on that thing. Good. Just that

01:11:31.529 --> 01:11:33.430
huge corned beef sandwich and what they call

01:11:33.430 --> 01:11:35.649
an egg cream. You have to get yourself an egg

01:11:35.649 --> 01:11:36.930
cream. I'm not going to tell you what it is.

01:11:37.149 --> 01:11:38.729
It's a fountain drink, but you have to get it

01:11:38.729 --> 01:11:43.050
if you're there. Number three, Kansas City. If

01:11:43.050 --> 01:11:46.789
you like meat. you will like Kansas City. They

01:11:46.789 --> 01:11:50.909
have some of the burnt ends. By the way, did

01:11:50.909 --> 01:11:52.649
you ever try those burnt ends? Oh, they were

01:11:52.649 --> 01:11:54.789
phenomenal. Aren't they good? Burnt ends are

01:11:54.789 --> 01:11:56.829
a different thing, man. They are so freaking

01:11:56.829 --> 01:12:01.250
good. You get burnt ends. You get steak. Pork

01:12:01.250 --> 01:12:04.010
chops, all of it. Like Kansas City, I mean, that's

01:12:04.010 --> 01:12:06.329
the hub of the meat industry. Like it used to

01:12:06.329 --> 01:12:08.130
be Chicago. And they don't have any meat in their

01:12:08.130 --> 01:12:10.989
football team anymore, but they got it at the

01:12:10.989 --> 01:12:13.609
restaurants. Indeed, they do. Yeah, that's what

01:12:13.609 --> 01:12:16.189
I hear. That's what I hear as well. Number two.

01:12:16.800 --> 01:12:19.100
Maybe a surprise, maybe a dark horse if it will.

01:12:19.220 --> 01:12:22.579
New Orleans. Believe it or not, New Orleans was

01:12:22.579 --> 01:12:25.340
going to make the list, but I cut them for Kyoto.

01:12:25.720 --> 01:12:28.579
They were going to make the list. No, I mean

01:12:28.579 --> 01:12:31.399
from beignets to po 'boys. And once again, I'm

01:12:31.399 --> 01:12:35.680
not a seafood guy. But if you like shrimp, get

01:12:35.680 --> 01:12:38.720
yourself a shrimp po 'boy. Or you like crawfish.

01:12:39.880 --> 01:12:43.260
Seafood po 'boys? Oh, yeah. Dude. The food there

01:12:43.260 --> 01:12:46.840
is fantastic. And it's just a cool city. So,

01:12:46.840 --> 01:12:50.279
New Orleans, number two. Yeah, fun accents down

01:12:50.279 --> 01:12:52.760
there, too. Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, you

01:12:52.760 --> 01:12:55.859
get, like, literally, there's a character in

01:12:55.859 --> 01:12:57.819
the water boy. And some people are like, ah,

01:12:57.859 --> 01:13:00.600
it's not real. That's made up. No, it's real.

01:13:00.819 --> 01:13:07.960
Big dog exists down there. And then, as a northerner,

01:13:07.960 --> 01:13:10.829
we go, huh? Yeah, that's a real man. And they

01:13:10.829 --> 01:13:13.529
know what he's saying. They understand. Yeah.

01:13:13.649 --> 01:13:17.470
I don't. So literally, and this is several times

01:13:17.470 --> 01:13:19.810
as I was traveling, I encounter people like that.

01:13:20.109 --> 01:13:22.970
And all you have to do is act like you know what

01:13:22.970 --> 01:13:25.989
they're saying. Yeah. Yeah. Like, oh, my man.

01:13:26.109 --> 01:13:28.970
We were in a Chick -fil -A. And me and my friend

01:13:28.970 --> 01:13:31.149
Steve, we were going out on spring break. So

01:13:31.149 --> 01:13:32.670
we finally made the trip. We're almost there.

01:13:32.930 --> 01:13:35.050
And we pulled into this Chick -fil -A. I'm like,

01:13:35.130 --> 01:13:36.390
dude, I'm so hungry. He's like, yeah, let's get

01:13:36.390 --> 01:13:38.369
something to eat. Cool. So we go in there. Get

01:13:38.369 --> 01:13:39.909
our cheeky sandwich, get our fries, whatever.

01:13:40.090 --> 01:13:43.210
So we're just sitting there. And apparently this

01:13:43.210 --> 01:13:46.229
guy was asking if he wanted to take our garbage

01:13:46.229 --> 01:13:47.770
because he was kind of cleaning the tables or

01:13:47.770 --> 01:13:49.609
whatever. But it kind of sounded more like this.

01:13:50.350 --> 01:13:57.710
And I literally looked up at him and smiled.

01:13:58.069 --> 01:14:02.189
Steve looked scared. Like, oh my God, what did

01:14:02.189 --> 01:14:04.710
he just say? And I looked up at him and I smiled

01:14:04.710 --> 01:14:08.779
and I said, ha, you bet. And he took my food.

01:14:09.380 --> 01:14:11.020
He got through the garbage. I was like, huh.

01:14:11.340 --> 01:14:12.640
Guess that's what he was saying. That's what

01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:15.180
he meant. Okay, cool. Now I know. Yeah. Note

01:14:15.180 --> 01:14:19.079
to self. Future translate. Check. Oh, yeah. No

01:14:19.079 --> 01:14:21.300
doubt. It's like when you read like middle English

01:14:21.300 --> 01:14:25.180
books and it's nonsense. It's still English.

01:14:25.300 --> 01:14:28.460
Right. It's just not what we speak. Not at all.

01:14:28.760 --> 01:14:32.319
Yeah. Have fun with Chaucer's Tales. All right.

01:14:32.340 --> 01:14:34.880
What you got? My number one. You know, I had

01:14:34.880 --> 01:14:39.130
to do it to him. Tokyo, Japan. Oh, my God. Massive,

01:14:39.130 --> 01:14:42.170
massive city. I mean, I think the metropolitan

01:14:42.170 --> 01:14:46.189
area is like 58 million people. Yeah. Massive

01:14:46.189 --> 01:14:49.850
city. Just incredible sushi and seafood and just

01:14:49.850 --> 01:14:54.430
Japanese food. Dude, send me there. Yeah. Send

01:14:54.430 --> 01:14:57.460
me there. I need you to stumble upon a couple

01:14:57.460 --> 01:14:59.199
million dollars and just send me that. And we'll

01:14:59.199 --> 01:15:01.680
go. Yeah. And I'll eat some food. I'll eat a

01:15:01.680 --> 01:15:05.420
lot of food. We'll go. It'll be Nintendo and

01:15:05.420 --> 01:15:08.800
noodles for days. God bless. Sounds like a good

01:15:08.800 --> 01:15:11.359
time. That's my numero uno is Tokyo, Japan. All

01:15:11.359 --> 01:15:15.319
righty. My numero uno, and people say I'm favoriting

01:15:15.319 --> 01:15:19.020
them, whatever, Chicago. And all these cities

01:15:19.020 --> 01:15:21.640
I've listed I've been to. Well, minus the Texas,

01:15:21.699 --> 01:15:25.489
but we'll get there. Yeah, so Chicago number

01:15:25.489 --> 01:15:28.729
one, and the thing that I think makes it number

01:15:28.729 --> 01:15:31.989
one is how international of a city that it is.

01:15:32.189 --> 01:15:35.489
Oh, dude, you got Polish cuisine, Japanese, Chinese.

01:15:36.289 --> 01:15:41.189
You've got German, Italian, Irish. And that a

01:15:41.189 --> 01:15:44.829
lot of those people, when they came in, they

01:15:44.829 --> 01:15:46.750
made their own neighborhoods, and there was some

01:15:46.750 --> 01:15:49.710
sort of... pride in who they were. And the thing

01:15:49.710 --> 01:15:52.170
is, it doesn't make these people any less American.

01:15:52.630 --> 01:15:54.670
It's like, look, we live in this neighborhood.

01:15:54.909 --> 01:15:57.069
We live in Pilsen. We live in Brunswick. We live

01:15:57.069 --> 01:15:59.789
here. We live there. And there is just some sort

01:15:59.789 --> 01:16:03.630
of heritage and pride that they have. And that

01:16:03.630 --> 01:16:06.489
reflects in artwork on their buildings. It reflects

01:16:06.489 --> 01:16:08.569
in the museums that they have. It reflects in

01:16:08.569 --> 01:16:11.149
the food that they eat and the celebrations that

01:16:11.149 --> 01:16:13.130
they have. The art they produce and consume.

01:16:13.390 --> 01:16:16.859
Right. So, like, all of that... is great. And

01:16:16.859 --> 01:16:18.760
then you get people come in and be like, I can't

01:16:18.760 --> 01:16:21.439
believe how segregated your city is. And my comment

01:16:21.439 --> 01:16:25.380
to that is, are you dumb? It's like Chicago is

01:16:25.380 --> 01:16:28.279
one of the most international cities. You have

01:16:28.279 --> 01:16:32.840
the most Irish outside. Like Boston. I think

01:16:32.840 --> 01:16:34.840
Boston, right? Boston or LA. There was like a

01:16:34.840 --> 01:16:37.279
weird one in there. But yeah, like you have a

01:16:37.279 --> 01:16:40.159
ton of Irish people and you have the most Polish

01:16:40.159 --> 01:16:43.640
outside of Poland are in Chicago. And the same

01:16:43.640 --> 01:16:45.500
thing with our Mexican population and Puerto

01:16:45.500 --> 01:16:47.939
Rican. And it goes on and on and on. Our African

01:16:47.939 --> 01:16:50.420
American community. So you can go into these

01:16:50.420 --> 01:16:54.279
communities and have some soul food, have some

01:16:54.279 --> 01:16:58.069
Puerto Rican food. You know, I love. That people

01:16:58.069 --> 01:17:00.630
love their heritage. I love that because it's

01:17:00.630 --> 01:17:03.229
part of who we are. And I think we should never

01:17:03.229 --> 01:17:05.350
give that up. Proud of being American? Okay,

01:17:05.470 --> 01:17:07.670
that's fine. That just happens to be my address.

01:17:08.149 --> 01:17:12.430
Right. My people grew up and learned and whatever

01:17:12.430 --> 01:17:16.909
as Irish and Germans and... That's what interests

01:17:16.909 --> 01:17:19.310
me. Sure. And that's what interests a lot of

01:17:19.310 --> 01:17:22.149
other people. And I think to still hold on to

01:17:22.149 --> 01:17:23.710
that and be proud of it, I think it's great.

01:17:23.930 --> 01:17:25.710
And it reflects a lot of... We're meant to be

01:17:25.710 --> 01:17:28.510
the goddamn melting pot, bro. Chicago pretty

01:17:28.510 --> 01:17:30.609
much is. It's what it's supposed to be. Chicago

01:17:30.609 --> 01:17:34.189
pretty much is. And I love that fact. And I think

01:17:34.189 --> 01:17:36.970
they lean into it. And I love that we do. Now,

01:17:37.010 --> 01:17:39.569
that's not to say gentrification is not a problem.

01:17:39.770 --> 01:17:41.869
It is. Oh, no, it is. I mean, that's capitalism.

01:17:42.029 --> 01:17:44.069
What are you going to do about that? But cultural

01:17:44.069 --> 01:17:46.770
heritage is not... a part of gentrification right

01:17:46.770 --> 01:17:51.449
correct as far as food and art and just enjoying

01:17:51.449 --> 01:17:56.229
like your irish heritage or your jamaican or

01:17:56.229 --> 01:17:58.569
puerto rican or cuban heritage you should enjoy

01:17:58.569 --> 01:18:01.329
that yeah 100 enjoy it and the best thing about

01:18:01.329 --> 01:18:03.829
it it's part of who you are and having that pride

01:18:03.829 --> 01:18:07.470
but the best part is sharing it with others like

01:18:07.470 --> 01:18:10.029
for example saint patrick's day it's a day for

01:18:10.029 --> 01:18:12.750
most people in the world It's a week for Chicago,

01:18:12.909 --> 01:18:16.050
sometimes more. Yeah, you got that right. But

01:18:16.050 --> 01:18:18.130
the beauty of it, like on a St. Patrick's Day,

01:18:18.250 --> 01:18:20.229
if you're out at the pub or you're at a party

01:18:20.229 --> 01:18:22.729
or whatever, and you see people that are clearly

01:18:22.729 --> 01:18:26.380
not Irish, I love that. You're taking part in

01:18:26.380 --> 01:18:28.779
my day and I'm happy that you're there and you're

01:18:28.779 --> 01:18:30.359
happy and you're having an Irish beer. You're

01:18:30.359 --> 01:18:32.319
listening to our music. Cheers. You're having

01:18:32.319 --> 01:18:35.500
some shepherd's pie. You're asking us about our

01:18:35.500 --> 01:18:38.659
heritage. Like, I love that because it's Chinese

01:18:38.659 --> 01:18:41.079
New Year and I go to Chinatown. I want to learn

01:18:41.079 --> 01:18:42.939
about it and I want to have some awesome food

01:18:42.939 --> 01:18:45.800
and watch like dragons march down the street.

01:18:45.800 --> 01:18:48.800
Like, I'm all about that. Damn right. Yes. Damn

01:18:48.800 --> 01:18:53.359
right. That's great. All right. I am. I am surprised

01:18:53.359 --> 01:18:56.960
I'm making it. That I'm holding out. Yeah. We've

01:18:56.960 --> 01:19:00.539
had to take a couple pause breaks for coughing

01:19:00.539 --> 01:19:03.760
fits, but you're being a champion so far. Well,

01:19:04.020 --> 01:19:07.500
thank you. I am doing my best. And before we

01:19:07.500 --> 01:19:09.760
go to our break and our final segment, and we're

01:19:09.760 --> 01:19:14.140
doing great on time, by the way, we have been

01:19:14.140 --> 01:19:17.710
doing quiz time. Now, a time for quizzes. Just

01:19:17.710 --> 01:19:20.170
time for quizzes. Now, Aiden has been pretty

01:19:20.170 --> 01:19:23.050
much the main quiz giver. The arbiter, if you

01:19:23.050 --> 01:19:25.970
will. And I've been on the receiving end, which

01:19:25.970 --> 01:19:28.449
has been fun and excruciating at the same time.

01:19:28.670 --> 01:19:34.409
What does GPU stand for? I don't know. I don't

01:19:34.409 --> 01:19:37.550
want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. Yeah,

01:19:37.649 --> 01:19:41.149
we'll see how smiley you are in a minute. This

01:19:41.149 --> 01:19:45.449
particular quiz that I made for Aiden is a marvelous

01:19:45.449 --> 01:19:49.529
quiz. If you get the hint. Do I sense wordplay?

01:19:49.949 --> 01:19:52.770
I mean, if that's what you're into. Hmm. Hmm.

01:19:53.189 --> 01:19:56.109
We'll let the lovely listeners decide. Okay.

01:19:56.210 --> 01:20:00.470
Well, this is a Marvel -less quiz. It is on Marvel

01:20:00.470 --> 01:20:05.149
movies. And I have a possible 21 points. Okay.

01:20:05.569 --> 01:20:08.739
Feel free to play at home. As it were. And let

01:20:08.739 --> 01:20:10.800
us know how many points you got in the comments

01:20:10.800 --> 01:20:13.220
down below. Indeed. Indeed. If there are not

01:20:13.220 --> 01:20:16.300
a comment section down below, then rate us five

01:20:16.300 --> 01:20:19.739
stars and tell us why there is not a comment

01:20:19.739 --> 01:20:23.560
section. Fair. Yeah. We're just looking for answers.

01:20:23.920 --> 01:20:27.000
At this rate. They have no idea. In this fucking

01:20:27.000 --> 01:20:29.180
economy? God. In this economy? Damn. Alright,

01:20:29.239 --> 01:20:32.140
here we go. Number one. What is Star -Lord's

01:20:32.140 --> 01:20:36.140
Earth name? Star -Lord's Earth name. Crisp Rat.

01:20:36.960 --> 01:20:42.300
Not the actor's name. Okay, Chris Pratt. That

01:20:42.300 --> 01:20:45.479
is the actual actor's name. Yes. I want to know

01:20:45.479 --> 01:20:48.579
what the actual character's Earth name is. The

01:20:48.579 --> 01:20:50.659
character's Earth name? Yeah, not the actor.

01:20:50.819 --> 01:20:53.640
It's not me stalling for time, clearly. And it's

01:20:53.640 --> 01:20:58.619
not Chris Pratt. Hmm. Is it like Stephen something?

01:20:58.819 --> 01:21:05.520
Or Brett? Craig. I'll go with Craig Smithers.

01:21:06.769 --> 01:21:09.649
Really? I feel like I know it. You're going to

01:21:09.649 --> 01:21:12.369
kick yourself. I think I will. God, I haven't

01:21:12.369 --> 01:21:15.109
seen the Guardians movie in so long. Oh, what's

01:21:15.109 --> 01:21:18.550
his name? Anthony Mackie. Is that your final

01:21:18.550 --> 01:21:20.229
answer? That's my final answer. No, I'm going

01:21:20.229 --> 01:21:22.170
to actually stick with Craig Smithers. Okay.

01:21:22.630 --> 01:21:27.609
It's Peter Quill. Oh, Quill. Oh, duh. Yeah. Peter

01:21:27.609 --> 01:21:29.430
Quill. Why didn't you ask what his character's

01:21:29.430 --> 01:21:34.779
name was? Okay. Okay, I'll take the owl. Okay.

01:21:34.920 --> 01:21:37.720
I actually didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't

01:21:37.720 --> 01:21:40.800
remember. That's true. Number two. In what Marvel

01:21:40.800 --> 01:21:43.220
movie does the Black Widow make her first appearance?

01:21:43.960 --> 01:21:46.699
Ooh. Ooh, that's got to be a Captain America

01:21:46.699 --> 01:21:49.859
movie, I think. No. Wait, well, well, hold on

01:21:49.859 --> 01:21:52.239
now. It couldn't be Avengers. That's too late.

01:21:52.300 --> 01:21:54.640
We wouldn't know who she is. Or we wouldn't care.

01:21:55.000 --> 01:22:00.039
Would it be an Iron Man movie? That's the question.

01:22:00.680 --> 01:22:02.939
So we've got a couple Iron Man movies before

01:22:02.939 --> 01:22:07.159
things started popping off. Yeah. Ooh, that's

01:22:07.159 --> 01:22:10.220
a great question. Great, great question. I'll

01:22:10.220 --> 01:22:15.739
say it's an Iron Man movie. Okay. I'll say Iron

01:22:15.739 --> 01:22:19.579
Man 2. Is that your final answer? The squeak

01:22:19.579 --> 01:22:25.119
wall. God, I'm trying to think. I'm not trying

01:22:25.119 --> 01:22:26.539
to change your mind. I just want to know if that's

01:22:26.539 --> 01:22:30.140
your final answer. Because I know... I remember

01:22:30.140 --> 01:22:31.979
the Avengers quite clearly and there was the

01:22:31.979 --> 01:22:34.699
whole thing where her and Hawkeye were talking

01:22:34.699 --> 01:22:36.859
about Budapest and we never learned what the

01:22:36.859 --> 01:22:39.819
fuck they were yapping about, which was a damn

01:22:39.819 --> 01:22:42.640
shame, honestly. But we had to have known who

01:22:42.640 --> 01:22:45.739
she was before that. Oh, but I don't think it

01:22:45.739 --> 01:22:49.119
was, it was not the first Avenger, was it? Captain

01:22:49.119 --> 01:22:52.460
America? I feel like a gosh dang dingus today.

01:22:52.819 --> 01:22:54.899
Should have watched more movies before you gave

01:22:54.899 --> 01:22:58.750
me this quiz, man. Holy hell. Can I go 0 for

01:22:58.750 --> 01:23:01.750
21? I'm going to feel like the White Sox. I'll

01:23:01.750 --> 01:23:07.189
say Iron Man 2. Iron Man 2 is correct. Oh, thank

01:23:07.189 --> 01:23:12.109
God. Iron Man 2 is correct. All our lovely listeners

01:23:12.109 --> 01:23:13.810
that are Marvel fans out there were probably

01:23:13.810 --> 01:23:16.829
screaming at their phones. Oh, I'm sure. Number

01:23:16.829 --> 01:23:20.149
three. What Infinity Stone is in Vision's head?

01:23:20.510 --> 01:23:24.829
The yellow one. The yellow one is the sun. Thank

01:23:24.829 --> 01:23:27.979
you, Brian Regan. It's the yellow one. Which

01:23:27.979 --> 01:23:32.619
is the soul stone? Think about it. The one that's

01:23:32.619 --> 01:23:37.020
in his head. Brain. Brain stone. Sorry, my bad.

01:23:37.979 --> 01:23:41.659
Okay, so it's not time. It's not power. Purple

01:23:41.659 --> 01:23:44.939
one is crazy. That's the dance -off. That's the

01:23:44.939 --> 01:23:47.279
dance -off one. They all held their hands and

01:23:47.279 --> 01:23:51.119
they opened the purple thing. Oh, boy. It's not

01:23:51.119 --> 01:23:53.239
blue. That's the Tesseract. That's in Loki's

01:23:53.239 --> 01:23:56.850
scepter. That's all great and grand. The Vision

01:23:56.850 --> 01:24:00.050
Stone. No, Soul Stone. Is that orange? What do

01:24:00.050 --> 01:24:03.550
I know? The Brain Stone. The Mind Stone. Final

01:24:03.550 --> 01:24:06.329
answer? Final answer. Mind Stone. And that is

01:24:06.329 --> 01:24:09.210
the yellow one. I knew it was the yellow one.

01:24:09.369 --> 01:24:11.529
Because I think old boy plunked it out of his

01:24:11.529 --> 01:24:14.750
head. I know spoilers, but that movie came out

01:24:14.750 --> 01:24:17.510
like eight years ago. We got a big Avengers movie.

01:24:17.710 --> 01:24:19.930
You guys have some catching up to do. You should

01:24:19.930 --> 01:24:23.619
have caught up by now. Oh my gosh. Yeah. What

01:24:23.619 --> 01:24:27.260
is the name of Jeff Goldblum's character in Thor

01:24:27.260 --> 01:24:30.439
Ragnarok? Oh, God, what a great character. What

01:24:30.439 --> 01:24:33.220
was that dude's name? I only know him as Jeff

01:24:33.220 --> 01:24:37.380
Goldblum. And his fingers sparkle. Oh, what a

01:24:37.380 --> 01:24:40.359
great movie. Honestly, that's like top three

01:24:40.359 --> 01:24:42.920
Marvel movies is Thor Ragnarok. I love that movie.

01:24:43.039 --> 01:24:45.539
What was that dude's name? Because I know there

01:24:45.539 --> 01:24:48.760
was the funky rock guy that Thor got along with,

01:24:48.779 --> 01:24:51.500
and he was cool. And I believe he was voiced

01:24:51.500 --> 01:24:55.079
by the director. Yeah. Taki Watiti, I believe

01:24:55.079 --> 01:24:57.500
is his name. Okay, yeah. Funky little character.

01:24:57.659 --> 01:25:00.699
Cool guy. I don't remember Jeff Goldblum's name.

01:25:00.880 --> 01:25:05.220
I'll call him the collector. No, that's not right.

01:25:05.560 --> 01:25:07.500
That's a different character. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:25:07.960 --> 01:25:10.619
Different white dude with hair. Damn, what's

01:25:10.619 --> 01:25:12.819
his face? No, I know his face. What's his name?

01:25:13.319 --> 01:25:21.020
Jeff. Jeffrey. Jeffrey Goldblum. Hmm. Craig Smithers.

01:25:21.399 --> 01:25:24.539
We go with Craig. No, I'll switch it up. I'll

01:25:24.539 --> 01:25:28.300
go Anthony Mackie. Okay. The Grandmaster. Oh.

01:25:29.319 --> 01:25:32.420
Why does that sound like a KKK member? That's

01:25:32.420 --> 01:25:34.340
not great. Yeah. They should have thought about

01:25:34.340 --> 01:25:37.659
that one. All right. This is a two. You can get

01:25:37.659 --> 01:25:41.220
two points here. Okay, good. Nick Fury fakes

01:25:41.220 --> 01:25:43.279
his own death at the end of Captain America Winter

01:25:43.279 --> 01:25:47.609
Soldier. What saying is chiseled on his tombstone?

01:25:47.729 --> 01:25:51.729
For the bonus point, this is taken from a movie

01:25:51.729 --> 01:25:57.149
that he was in named The Movie. Damn. Oh, shit.

01:25:58.649 --> 01:26:02.850
I'm going to say The Movie is Pulp Fiction, and

01:26:02.850 --> 01:26:06.130
the saying is, do they speak English in what?

01:26:06.750 --> 01:26:11.329
God, I wish it was that. All right, you got one

01:26:11.329 --> 01:26:15.029
point. It was Pulp Fiction. It was Pulp Fiction.

01:26:15.050 --> 01:26:16.869
Wrong one. I was going to do a snakes on the

01:26:16.869 --> 01:26:19.050
plane joke, but I'm like, I have to try and get

01:26:19.050 --> 01:26:23.010
a point. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Could you imagine

01:26:23.010 --> 01:26:25.810
that being on his... Snakes on motherfucking

01:26:25.810 --> 01:26:29.989
planes. Snakes on these planes. All right. And

01:26:29.989 --> 01:26:34.609
the saying happens to be the path of the righteous

01:26:34.609 --> 01:26:39.010
man. Ah. I see. At least I got the Pulp Fiction.

01:26:39.010 --> 01:26:40.989
You got the Pulp Fiction. All right. Name the

01:26:40.989 --> 01:26:44.000
planet. Natasha and Clint visit to retrieve the

01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:46.300
Soul Stone. Oh, dude, that's the one with red

01:26:46.300 --> 01:26:49.239
face on him. Mm -hmm. Ooh, what do they call

01:26:49.239 --> 01:26:56.659
it? Gwarcox. Stimble. It's like an alien -sounding

01:26:56.659 --> 01:27:03.180
name, yeah? Oh, yeah. Smallville. Jamboree. The

01:27:03.180 --> 01:27:09.640
third. Horsetown. Dude, Marvel, you can take

01:27:09.640 --> 01:27:12.859
these ideas. Those ones are for free. Haven't

01:27:12.859 --> 01:27:17.840
copyrighted those ones yet. Astrocorn. I'll call

01:27:17.840 --> 01:27:20.739
it Astrocorn. Is that your final answer? That's

01:27:20.739 --> 01:27:22.920
got to be it. Oh, no. That's got to be the one.

01:27:23.260 --> 01:27:29.539
Oh, no. Am I close? No. Plagueis. No. I will

01:27:29.539 --> 01:27:32.539
give you a hint. Okay. Begins with the letter

01:27:32.539 --> 01:27:41.460
V. Valerium. Venus. They traveled to the gas

01:27:41.460 --> 01:27:44.199
planet. No, there was rocks on it. What am I

01:27:44.199 --> 01:27:48.939
talking about? Vexor. Final answer. Vormir. Oh,

01:27:49.260 --> 01:27:54.380
Vormir. I was close. You were. Shucks. All right,

01:27:54.420 --> 01:27:58.199
we got another two -pointer here. Good. Name

01:27:58.199 --> 01:28:03.739
the two villains from Iron Man 3. Okay, Electro

01:28:03.739 --> 01:28:07.000
Guy with the whips, perhaps? Or was that Iron

01:28:07.000 --> 01:28:12.640
Man 2? Oh, shucks. Iron Man 3. Ooh, boy. Now

01:28:12.640 --> 01:28:15.079
that's the question. Was that the one where he

01:28:15.079 --> 01:28:18.720
ate a burger? No, that was Iron Man 1. Didn't

01:28:18.720 --> 01:28:21.119
he eat a burger at some point? Yeah, yeah, okay.

01:28:21.359 --> 01:28:23.060
That's how the cheeseburger joke came about.

01:28:23.060 --> 01:28:26.699
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll say the Electro guy, the

01:28:26.699 --> 01:28:33.090
Electro Whip guy, and anti -Iron Man. The dude

01:28:33.090 --> 01:28:35.909
that, you know, weren't there a bunch of suits

01:28:35.909 --> 01:28:41.090
he had to kill? I'll say Electrowhip Guy and

01:28:41.090 --> 01:28:46.430
Evil Jarvis. That's my guess. Ladies and gentlemen,

01:28:46.529 --> 01:28:50.149
now mind you, he's seen most of these movies

01:28:50.149 --> 01:28:52.609
and many of them more than once. I've literally

01:28:52.609 --> 01:28:55.609
binge -watched them on Disney. I was about to

01:28:55.609 --> 01:28:58.010
say, we got Disney for them. Both in release

01:28:58.010 --> 01:29:01.479
order and in chronological order. And I cannot

01:29:01.479 --> 01:29:04.020
for the life of me remember. Was Electro Guy

01:29:04.020 --> 01:29:06.699
one of them? No. Oh, shit. That was the second

01:29:06.699 --> 01:29:09.720
one. Yeah, I thought so. And it wasn't anti -Jarvis?

01:29:09.859 --> 01:29:14.079
No. Aldrich Killian. So he was the glow -in -the

01:29:14.079 --> 01:29:17.140
-dark guy, right? That the hands and arms would

01:29:17.140 --> 01:29:20.359
grow back or whatever. Oh. And Pepper got that.

01:29:20.420 --> 01:29:22.060
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Injected into her or whatever.

01:29:22.560 --> 01:29:26.960
And the Mandarin. Oh, the Mandarin. Yeah. Who's

01:29:26.960 --> 01:29:29.960
like one of my favorite comic villain guys ever.

01:29:30.279 --> 01:29:33.340
That dude's great. Oh, he's great. Shucks. I

01:29:33.340 --> 01:29:35.579
think Slattery is the character actor's name

01:29:35.579 --> 01:29:38.439
or whatever. Played that great, dude. That was

01:29:38.439 --> 01:29:40.579
so good. It was so good. Such a funky character.

01:29:40.880 --> 01:29:44.500
Uh -huh. What borough of New York City is Peter

01:29:44.500 --> 01:29:48.800
Parker from? Peter Porker. Queens? Final answer?

01:29:48.979 --> 01:29:54.350
Sure. Correct. Woo -hoo! Queens is correct. Yeah,

01:29:54.390 --> 01:29:55.970
because I think Captain America is a Brooklyn

01:29:55.970 --> 01:30:00.590
boy. And then I think Mr. Porker is a Queensman.

01:30:00.710 --> 01:30:03.930
Yep. Oh, yeah. Indeed he is. Number nine. The

01:30:03.930 --> 01:30:08.149
cell on the helicarrier that holds Loki in the

01:30:08.149 --> 01:30:11.569
Avengers movie was originally designed to house

01:30:11.569 --> 01:30:16.170
who? I would guess the Hulk is my final answer.

01:30:16.390 --> 01:30:20.640
Bruce Banner. Or Bruce Bixby. Or Bruce Bixby.

01:30:20.720 --> 01:30:22.100
If you followed our show from the beginning,

01:30:22.239 --> 01:30:26.420
you know who that is. Okay. You are correct.

01:30:26.680 --> 01:30:29.079
Wahoo! Let's freaking go, Chad. You're on a bit

01:30:29.079 --> 01:30:31.500
of a roll now. Smash that like button if you

01:30:31.500 --> 01:30:34.420
know what's up. That's right. Okay. Number 10

01:30:34.420 --> 01:30:39.239
is the final question. And this is possible 10

01:30:39.239 --> 01:30:43.300
points. Possible 10 points. Okay. Let's freaking

01:30:43.300 --> 01:30:46.420
go. Possible 10 points. I am going to give you...

01:30:46.420 --> 01:30:51.500
Yeah. A movie character name. Yes. Okay? You

01:30:51.500 --> 01:30:56.039
will give me the actor, and then who is his role

01:30:56.039 --> 01:30:58.640
in the Marvel Universe. Okay, so you give me

01:30:58.640 --> 01:31:01.439
the character. I give you... I give you a character.

01:31:01.579 --> 01:31:03.640
It could be from any movie. Oh, I see. I give

01:31:03.640 --> 01:31:05.539
you a character. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. You

01:31:05.539 --> 01:31:08.359
give me the actor, and then who is Marvel. Gotcha,

01:31:08.439 --> 01:31:14.100
gotcha. So, the first one is Shaft. Shaft. From

01:31:14.100 --> 01:31:17.840
the famous Shaft movie. Uh -huh. And Shaft 2,

01:31:17.960 --> 01:31:21.260
The Squeakquel. I would say... Shaft 2, The Seduction.

01:31:23.460 --> 01:31:30.340
Rated X. I would say Shaft plays... The original

01:31:30.340 --> 01:31:32.880
Shaft in the 70s was played by actor Richard

01:31:32.880 --> 01:31:36.220
Roundtree. Okay, I will say Richard Roundtree.

01:31:36.420 --> 01:31:44.420
Nah, don't do that. Okay. Don't do that. Who

01:31:44.420 --> 01:31:49.159
they play in the movies. I would say Shaft plays

01:31:49.159 --> 01:31:54.699
Ultron. And his name is Richard Square Tree.

01:31:55.319 --> 01:31:59.699
Okay. Shaft is played by Samuel L. Jackson. Oh,

01:31:59.800 --> 01:32:03.979
of course. And Shaft is a famous detective. And

01:32:03.979 --> 01:32:06.199
he, of course, plays Nick Fury. This is true.

01:32:06.340 --> 01:32:09.520
I recall. All right. The character's name is

01:32:09.520 --> 01:32:12.880
Phil from the movie The Hangover. Phil from The

01:32:12.880 --> 01:32:15.640
Hangover. So who is the actor and who is his

01:32:15.640 --> 01:32:22.819
role? Oh, gosh. Is Phil Ant -Man? And it's the

01:32:22.819 --> 01:32:25.420
dude that played Weird Al that one Halloween?

01:32:25.859 --> 01:32:32.520
What's his name? Something Apple? Oh, geez, man.

01:32:32.760 --> 01:32:35.819
I'm going to go with Ant -Man. Oh, what's his

01:32:35.819 --> 01:32:39.840
name, though? I'm going to say Chris Apple. Okay.

01:32:40.619 --> 01:32:44.939
Phil is played by actor Bradley Cooper. Oh, and

01:32:44.939 --> 01:32:48.079
he's Rocket. And he is Rocket. Son of a bitch.

01:32:48.420 --> 01:32:50.800
All right. We're 0 for so far, but you got a

01:32:50.800 --> 01:32:52.920
chance. Yeah, we got more. We got more. I think

01:32:52.920 --> 01:32:54.899
you'll get this one. I feel good about this one.

01:32:55.500 --> 01:33:02.500
Dominic Toretto. Oh, Vin Diesel plays Groot?

01:33:03.159 --> 01:33:05.399
That is correct. I would have also accepted Tree.

01:33:05.680 --> 01:33:08.000
Oh, sure. Yeah, I was thinking Tree, but I'm

01:33:08.000 --> 01:33:10.239
like, I think he always announces it. Like, he's

01:33:10.239 --> 01:33:12.859
a fucking Pokemon. I am Groot. He only says his

01:33:12.859 --> 01:33:16.000
own name. Right, exactly. This is my friend,

01:33:16.239 --> 01:33:23.699
Tree. I love him. Hell yeah. Okay. George W.

01:33:23.819 --> 01:33:27.960
Bush. George W. Bush. Who portrayed him in the

01:33:27.960 --> 01:33:31.800
movies. Famous war criminal and artist. I've

01:33:31.800 --> 01:33:34.600
heard he's a painter. Who played George W. Bush?

01:33:35.239 --> 01:33:41.800
In the movie W. Hmm. I would say, who's the one,

01:33:41.880 --> 01:33:46.979
the white guy that's got the hair? The white

01:33:46.979 --> 01:33:48.979
guy that's got the hair on him. What was his

01:33:48.979 --> 01:33:51.539
name again? Thanks for narrowing that down. You

01:33:51.539 --> 01:33:56.640
really, that's, wow. Never give me a clue like

01:33:56.640 --> 01:33:58.659
that, by the way. You know, the white guy with

01:33:58.659 --> 01:34:02.909
the hair. Holy hell. This is a movie I've never

01:34:02.909 --> 01:34:05.529
seen, so I'm not sure who was cast for it. But

01:34:05.529 --> 01:34:08.029
if I have to guess white guys with hair, I'm

01:34:08.029 --> 01:34:10.689
going to say Agent Coulson, and I don't know

01:34:10.689 --> 01:34:14.430
the actor's name. Phil Collins. Nope. Close enough,

01:34:14.489 --> 01:34:16.609
though. Lock it in. Aiden can feel it in the

01:34:16.609 --> 01:34:20.510
air tonight. It is actor Josh Brolin. I would

01:34:20.510 --> 01:34:23.390
have accepted Thanos or Cable. Oh, of course,

01:34:23.430 --> 01:34:27.000
of course. All right. Last one. And this was

01:34:27.000 --> 01:34:30.199
the tough one. Oh, God. This was the tough one.

01:34:30.260 --> 01:34:32.760
Oh, wow. Oh, no. But in your head, you should

01:34:32.760 --> 01:34:34.399
be able to narrow this down a little bit. Yeah.

01:34:35.180 --> 01:34:40.119
Vontae Mack. Vontae Mack. I'll say Anthony Mackie,

01:34:40.140 --> 01:34:45.020
the Falcon. Or the new captain. Well, I'm glad

01:34:45.020 --> 01:34:47.079
you brought that up. That is not correct. It's

01:34:47.079 --> 01:34:49.180
Chadwick Boseman, who is the Black Captain. Oh,

01:34:49.180 --> 01:34:52.220
yeah. He plays football player Vontae Mack in

01:34:52.220 --> 01:34:56.710
the movie Drafting. Damn. Damn. So, I think I

01:34:56.710 --> 01:35:01.810
didn't get a passing grade. No. No. One, two,

01:35:01.909 --> 01:35:09.770
three, four, five, six, seven, eight of a possible

01:35:09.770 --> 01:35:14.050
21. The Big Oat Shell. Well, we did better than

01:35:14.050 --> 01:35:17.649
one -third. That's true. Let's freaking go. Let's

01:35:17.649 --> 01:35:19.909
go. Let's go. That was a poor performance. I

01:35:19.909 --> 01:35:22.800
apologize. That's okay. That's all right. I mean,

01:35:22.840 --> 01:35:25.739
I don't feel as bad about my computer performance

01:35:25.739 --> 01:35:31.239
now. But at any rate, yeah, we'll try it again

01:35:31.239 --> 01:35:33.279
next week. Damn right. We're going to take a

01:35:33.279 --> 01:35:34.899
quick break. We're back with our beer review

01:35:34.899 --> 01:35:38.260
and tier listing to finish up. All right. We

01:35:38.260 --> 01:35:41.159
are in the home stretch. We're now on to our

01:35:41.159 --> 01:35:44.760
beer review. The official beer review. The official

01:35:44.760 --> 01:35:48.310
beer review. The only official beer review. The

01:35:48.310 --> 01:35:51.170
only official greatest of all time. Well, you

01:35:51.170 --> 01:35:53.329
get the picture. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It's a

01:35:53.329 --> 01:35:56.210
badass. One and only. Greatest of all time. Et

01:35:56.210 --> 01:35:59.550
cetera, et cetera. Yeah. We could go on. We could

01:35:59.550 --> 01:36:03.409
go on. And we will. And we will. Did we mention

01:36:03.409 --> 01:36:07.189
greatest of all time? Did we? Hmm. Did I forget

01:36:07.189 --> 01:36:09.069
that? Bring it up one more time. Greatest of

01:36:09.069 --> 01:36:11.489
all time. Cool. Awesome. Yeah. That's great.

01:36:11.869 --> 01:36:15.029
Bold Betty. That's what I told her to do. Now,

01:36:15.029 --> 01:36:16.550
that's not anyone I've dated in college, but

01:36:16.550 --> 01:36:20.350
Bold Betty is, um, that is from Off Square. I'll

01:36:20.350 --> 01:36:23.270
let Aiden tell you all about it. Let's freaking

01:36:23.270 --> 01:36:28.689
go. Ah, love it. Now, Bold Betty from Off Square

01:36:28.689 --> 01:36:32.069
Brewing, a local brew pub right here in Crown

01:36:32.069 --> 01:36:34.189
Point, Indiana. I believe they only distribute

01:36:34.189 --> 01:36:38.260
locally. Hopefully they get a little more. pizazz

01:36:38.260 --> 01:36:40.479
around the region. Perhaps become a regional

01:36:40.479 --> 01:36:42.880
brewery because we tend to like their items.

01:36:43.159 --> 01:36:46.699
Yes. Bold Betty, a coffee stout sitting at 6

01:36:46.699 --> 01:36:50.079
.1 % ABV, so just above the halfway mark there.

01:36:50.560 --> 01:36:52.920
30 on the international bidder's unit. Makes

01:36:52.920 --> 01:36:56.460
sense of its coffee. Yep. As they describe it,

01:36:56.579 --> 01:36:59.760
we split our original batch of Angry Betty and

01:36:59.760 --> 01:37:02.300
added 10 gallons of Steam Whistle Java Blend.

01:37:03.130 --> 01:37:05.989
Mmm. Which I am not familiar with Angry Betty,

01:37:06.130 --> 01:37:08.250
but I am familiar with Steam Whistle as they

01:37:08.250 --> 01:37:11.510
are a local coffee roastery. Yes, they are. And

01:37:11.510 --> 01:37:13.590
they have phenomenal coffee as well. So we are

01:37:13.590 --> 01:37:16.109
going to rank this on the Untapped app. Free

01:37:16.109 --> 01:37:18.289
on your phones if you're a beer enjoyer. It may

01:37:18.289 --> 01:37:20.670
interest you. Not sponsored, but thought I'd

01:37:20.670 --> 01:37:22.970
mention it because we use it all the time. Rank

01:37:22.970 --> 01:37:25.449
it on a scale from 0 to 5 on how much we like

01:37:25.449 --> 01:37:27.550
it. We'll give you our tasting notes. And of

01:37:27.550 --> 01:37:29.289
course, in the comments, let us know what you

01:37:29.289 --> 01:37:32.300
are enjoying at home. Please do. All righty.

01:37:32.300 --> 01:37:36.039
Here we go. Oh, it smells like coffee. That coffee

01:37:36.039 --> 01:37:39.560
flavor really comes through. God damn. It's reminiscent

01:37:39.560 --> 01:37:44.199
of Kahlua almost. Yeah. That is a dark roast.

01:37:44.680 --> 01:37:47.960
It is. I would argue. As a coffee connoisseur

01:37:47.960 --> 01:37:50.039
myself, that's a dark roast. Now we know why

01:37:50.039 --> 01:37:53.020
Betty's so bold. She is bold, and I love that

01:37:53.020 --> 01:37:56.539
about her. Mm -hmm. That is a phenomenal flavor.

01:37:56.899 --> 01:37:59.880
Smells like coffee, tastes like coffee. It's

01:37:59.880 --> 01:38:03.699
rich, but it doesn't hold your palate like dessert

01:38:03.699 --> 01:38:07.020
beers do. Right. Just a touch of sweetness. It's

01:38:07.020 --> 01:38:10.479
really like if you put one pack of sugar in your

01:38:10.479 --> 01:38:14.720
coffee. It's just slightly sweet. Fairly creamy,

01:38:14.880 --> 01:38:17.100
although it did not claim to be a milk stout,

01:38:17.100 --> 01:38:21.640
so the creaminess was surprising. I agree. Very

01:38:21.640 --> 01:38:25.489
smooth. But it's not thick. It's not syrupy like

01:38:25.489 --> 01:38:28.909
dessert stouts and dessert porters tend to be.

01:38:29.329 --> 01:38:32.829
This is very nice. I enjoy it. I enjoy it a lot.

01:38:32.989 --> 01:38:35.289
And you've come around to coffee over the last

01:38:35.289 --> 01:38:39.539
few years. I have. I used to despise it. The

01:38:39.539 --> 01:38:41.539
only time I would drink it, especially in college,

01:38:41.659 --> 01:38:43.659
was when we were studying for finals and you

01:38:43.659 --> 01:38:46.439
had to stay up all night. And you'd sit there

01:38:46.439 --> 01:38:48.920
and drink black coffee. And it was just, it wasn't

01:38:48.920 --> 01:38:51.819
even good black coffee. It wasn't like a... So

01:38:51.819 --> 01:38:54.979
I think that Maxwell House type shit. Best way

01:38:54.979 --> 01:38:58.520
waking up is Maxwell in your... No, never, ever.

01:38:58.779 --> 01:39:01.619
Never, ever. I thought that ad was Folgers. Is

01:39:01.619 --> 01:39:04.380
it? Folgers in your cup. Yeah, maybe. I don't

01:39:04.380 --> 01:39:06.220
know. They're both shitty. They're both bad.

01:39:06.239 --> 01:39:08.539
Either way. I just combined the two, but they're

01:39:08.539 --> 01:39:12.309
both bad. It also reminds me of a skit. from

01:39:12.309 --> 01:39:14.630
Seinfeld, where the library guy comes to his

01:39:14.630 --> 01:39:16.310
house to visit him about a book that's been missing

01:39:16.310 --> 01:39:19.189
since, like, 1971. Jesus. And the guy wants a

01:39:19.189 --> 01:39:20.949
cup of coffee, and Jerry has no coffee in the

01:39:20.949 --> 01:39:23.510
house. He's like, you don't have some instant

01:39:23.510 --> 01:39:25.409
coffee? He's like, no, I don't have any instant

01:39:25.409 --> 01:39:28.329
coffee. He's like, Folgers Crystals, you keep

01:39:28.329 --> 01:39:30.069
it in your cupboard. And as people come over,

01:39:30.149 --> 01:39:32.090
they want a cup of coffee? Use your Folgers Crystal.

01:39:32.369 --> 01:39:35.750
Like, does this whole bit. And the actor, like,

01:39:35.829 --> 01:39:38.050
it's one of my favorite character actor scenes

01:39:38.050 --> 01:39:41.420
in sitcoms. Just... Hits it out of the park.

01:39:41.520 --> 01:39:44.260
Just so great. So, yeah. Coffee. Coffee Twok.

01:39:44.880 --> 01:39:48.640
I like it. It's good. Yes. I'm going pretty high

01:39:48.640 --> 01:39:50.979
with this one. I love coffee. I love stouts.

01:39:51.800 --> 01:39:55.220
I'm going 425 out of 5. This is most certainly

01:39:55.220 --> 01:39:59.920
in the elite tier for me. Flavor profile. I'll

01:39:59.920 --> 01:40:05.119
go coffee, smooth, and roasty. Okay. Like I mentioned

01:40:05.119 --> 01:40:08.619
on the first sip, there's a touch of sweetness

01:40:08.619 --> 01:40:11.649
in there. there's almost a touch of something

01:40:11.649 --> 01:40:14.970
hazelnutty, maybe. Yeah, it's kind of hard to

01:40:14.970 --> 01:40:18.229
place. You get a touch. Now, granted, this is

01:40:18.229 --> 01:40:20.109
for my coffee connoisseurs out there, but you

01:40:20.109 --> 01:40:24.909
do get a touch of, like, pit fruit fruitiness

01:40:24.909 --> 01:40:28.890
that you would get from coffee beans. So that

01:40:28.890 --> 01:40:30.949
does come through. Like, you can tell they just

01:40:30.949 --> 01:40:33.210
put coffee right in this fucking bitch, man.

01:40:33.470 --> 01:40:38.210
Yeah. So it's phenomenal. Yeah, I went with Coffee

01:40:38.210 --> 01:40:42.010
Smooth and Roasty. My grade was a 3 .75. Now,

01:40:42.029 --> 01:40:45.489
I typically do. That's in my wheelhouse for stouts

01:40:45.489 --> 01:40:50.390
in general. But I don't know. This one is, I

01:40:50.390 --> 01:40:52.430
don't know. As Aiden said, I've kind of come

01:40:52.430 --> 01:40:57.750
on to coffee in the last several years. I've

01:40:57.750 --> 01:40:59.670
always been a coffee lover. I know you have.

01:40:59.789 --> 01:41:02.010
Like this one, you mentioned it's not a dessert

01:41:02.010 --> 01:41:05.149
beer, and it isn't. But I sipped that, and my

01:41:05.149 --> 01:41:07.649
first thought is like, Not that I advocate morning

01:41:07.649 --> 01:41:11.949
drinking, but hey, if you ever day drink, you

01:41:11.949 --> 01:41:13.789
got to start somewhere. Yeah, exactly. Get the

01:41:13.789 --> 01:41:15.710
one that has a little caffeine in it. Get one

01:41:15.710 --> 01:41:17.729
that's got caffeine and coffee and have a bagel

01:41:17.729 --> 01:41:20.090
with it, man. Granted, I don't think people are

01:41:20.090 --> 01:41:22.689
legally allowed to sell caffeinated alcoholic

01:41:22.689 --> 01:41:25.409
beverages. But if it's in your fridge. But if

01:41:25.409 --> 01:41:28.210
it's in your fridge. Go to town. Yeah. If anyone

01:41:28.210 --> 01:41:30.989
is a bargo or any of our lovely listeners, I

01:41:30.989 --> 01:41:35.449
believe that's why they like hand you. a glass

01:41:35.449 --> 01:41:38.229
of Red Bull and then just give you a shot on

01:41:38.229 --> 01:41:41.649
the side of vodka? Because I think, correct me

01:41:41.649 --> 01:41:44.369
if I'm wrong, lovely listeners, but I'm pretty

01:41:44.369 --> 01:41:47.510
sure they cannot serve you an alcoholic caffeinated

01:41:47.510 --> 01:41:49.869
beverage. That's why Four Loko had to take the

01:41:49.869 --> 01:41:52.130
caffeine out of theirs because it was actually

01:41:52.130 --> 01:41:57.250
killing people. I disagree because there was

01:41:57.250 --> 01:41:59.010
a night where I had vodka Red Bulls and they

01:41:59.010 --> 01:42:01.710
made the vodka Red Bull for me. Interessante.

01:42:01.970 --> 01:42:04.289
It came to me as a mixed drink. I'm not going

01:42:04.289 --> 01:42:05.869
to say the place or the bartender. Yeah, I was

01:42:05.869 --> 01:42:07.970
going to say, don't say it. ATF may show up at

01:42:07.970 --> 01:42:11.350
their door. But I will say she made a lot of

01:42:11.350 --> 01:42:13.130
them for me because they went down very easy.

01:42:13.569 --> 01:42:16.569
You don't say. And I got really sick. And I didn't

01:42:16.569 --> 01:42:24.409
get sick. I didn't get sick because I was sick

01:42:24.409 --> 01:42:26.510
because I had too much alcohol. I think whatever

01:42:26.510 --> 01:42:30.369
that combo was did not. Yeah. go particularly

01:42:30.369 --> 01:42:33.789
well for me. You had a half gram of caffeine

01:42:33.789 --> 01:42:36.310
in a night and your body was like, what the fuck

01:42:36.310 --> 01:42:39.250
are we doing? My body was just like, whatever

01:42:39.250 --> 01:42:42.909
just happened was way, like, did not mesh with

01:42:42.909 --> 01:42:46.930
us at all. But they were good. Yeah, I don't

01:42:46.930 --> 01:42:50.229
doubt it. Alright, I got some badges. Yeah, on

01:42:50.229 --> 01:42:53.010
Untapped, for anyone unfamiliar, you do get badges

01:42:53.010 --> 01:42:57.909
as you consume different styles or international,

01:42:58.229 --> 01:43:02.409
perhaps, independent breweries you'd get different

01:43:02.409 --> 01:43:05.869
badges yeah i got a verified adventure level

01:43:05.869 --> 01:43:08.850

Shadow of a Stout. We all love stouts. That's

01:43:32.350 --> 01:43:34.369
five different beers with a style of stout. Try

01:43:34.369 --> 01:43:37.010
five more for level two. That's junior numbers.

01:43:37.210 --> 01:43:42.149
What the hell? I drink a lot more stouts than

01:43:42.149 --> 01:43:43.770
that. You haven't been plugging them in. I have

01:43:43.770 --> 01:43:46.369
not, man. Junior maneuver, by the way. Rookie

01:43:46.369 --> 01:43:50.010

01:43:50.270 --> 01:43:53.100
Honestly? Dude. You bring that up in a local

01:43:53.100 --> 01:43:54.920
pub, people are going to laugh at you. They're

01:43:54.920 --> 01:43:56.880
going to look you in the mouth and be like, you

01:43:56.880 --> 01:44:03.760
just got that badge? I'm just going to sit here

01:44:03.760 --> 01:44:08.859
and drink my stout with my nipple on it, apparently.

01:44:10.000 --> 01:44:14.119
I got one badge today. Wake up and smell the

01:44:14.119 --> 01:44:17.039
coffee level two. Oh. Coffee has been a flavor

01:44:17.039 --> 01:44:19.260
counterpart for stouts and porters, which means

01:44:19.260 --> 01:44:22.619
coffee's not just for breakfast anymore. That's

01:44:22.619 --> 01:44:25.079
10 different beers with the style of porter slash

01:44:25.079 --> 01:44:27.739
coffee. All right. Porter slash imperial coffee.

01:44:27.960 --> 01:44:31.340
Yep. Stout coffee. Okay. Try five more for level

01:44:31.340 --> 01:44:33.760
three. Well, don't mind if I do. I got you. Now.

01:44:34.300 --> 01:44:36.720
Mark Moe. Tier list. Of the Mark Moe Show. Yep.

01:44:36.760 --> 01:44:40.720
Tier list. From what I've heard, we will be flipping

01:44:40.720 --> 01:44:44.159
on and off in the future of tier listing, World

01:44:44.159 --> 01:44:46.560
of Weird News. Perhaps bring back Rapid Fire

01:44:46.560 --> 01:44:50.180
at some point. But this tier listing will continue

01:44:50.180 --> 01:44:54.539
our musical journey into more recent years. Okay.

01:44:54.819 --> 01:44:59.329
So, I have 12 songs. All right. Six of which

01:44:59.329 --> 01:45:02.590
from the 2010s, six of which from the 2020s.

01:45:02.590 --> 01:45:05.170
Ooh, all right. Then I'm going to be asking Mark

01:45:05.170 --> 01:45:07.470
Moe and, of course, all you lovely listeners

01:45:07.470 --> 01:45:10.470
to rank on a scale from F being the worst of

01:45:10.470 --> 01:45:13.229
the worst, D being bad, C being mid, B being

01:45:13.229 --> 01:45:16.090
good, A being great, and S being the best of

01:45:16.090 --> 01:45:20.590
the best. Of the best. Of the best. Now, honest

01:45:20.590 --> 01:45:24.369
reactions. Yeah. Unfiltered. Yep. Give me a ranking.

01:45:24.529 --> 01:45:27.300
All right. We're tier listing 2010 songs. Let's

01:45:27.300 --> 01:45:29.760
go. These first six. Let's do it. I Knew You

01:45:29.760 --> 01:45:33.840
Were Trouble by Taylor Swift. I tend to like

01:45:33.840 --> 01:45:36.920
more of the things that she does than I don't.

01:45:37.560 --> 01:45:42.520
I would... I'll give this a B. B? I'll give it

01:45:42.520 --> 01:45:45.479
a B. It's all right. A B for Baylor Swift. That's

01:45:45.479 --> 01:45:49.079
right. That's what they say. Radioactive. By

01:45:49.079 --> 01:45:52.640
Imagine Dragons. I know you have an issue with

01:45:52.640 --> 01:45:54.920
them. Yeah, they're right up there with Coldplay,

01:45:54.979 --> 01:45:57.800
as far as bands I despise. Yeah, I don't as much.

01:45:57.819 --> 01:45:59.979
I think they... Right up there with Burger King,

01:46:00.100 --> 01:46:04.939
as far as anything, any noun I despise. I do

01:46:04.939 --> 01:46:06.880
like the bit that they did with the Impractical

01:46:06.880 --> 01:46:08.739
Joker. This is true. That was funny. So they

01:46:08.739 --> 01:46:10.560
have a sense of humor, but not a sense of music.

01:46:11.500 --> 01:46:14.500
I'll give that one a C. Judger's Hand is going

01:46:14.500 --> 01:46:17.989
to step in and give it a C -. Wow. Because I

01:46:17.989 --> 01:46:21.430
have that power. You do. You do. Next up in the

01:46:21.430 --> 01:46:26.409
2010s, Ride by 21 Pilots. Love 21 Pilots. I can't

01:46:26.409 --> 01:46:28.350
wait to see them next month. I'm so excited.

01:46:28.890 --> 01:46:34.869
I am going to... I'm going to give Ride an A+.

01:46:34.869 --> 01:46:38.029
A+. I remember last week you gave Stressed Out

01:46:38.029 --> 01:46:41.439
an S. Now, granted, Blurryface is one of the

01:46:41.439 --> 01:46:45.260
best alternative albums. Oh, yeah. Maybe in history.

01:46:45.340 --> 01:46:47.760
Maybe in history. Yeah, that's fair. So an A

01:46:47.760 --> 01:46:52.500
plus for Ride. Next up, Royals by Lorde. See,

01:46:52.560 --> 01:46:54.340
I like that. I don't know if she's done a hell

01:46:54.340 --> 01:46:57.060
of a lot since that. I heard there were some

01:46:57.060 --> 01:46:59.340
articles saying like she wanted to get out of

01:46:59.340 --> 01:47:01.380
the limelight a little bit, take a step back.

01:47:01.539 --> 01:47:06.069
But she makes great music. A. A? Yeah. Judge's

01:47:06.069 --> 01:47:08.289
hand is going to step in and give it an A+. Wow.

01:47:08.430 --> 01:47:12.090
Look at you. Okay. See, I can go both ways. So

01:47:12.090 --> 01:47:15.430
you say. That's what they say in the biz. Hey

01:47:15.430 --> 01:47:20.539
-o. Penultimate 2010s song. Happy. By Pharrell

01:47:20.539 --> 01:47:32.340
Williams. I didn't mind it so much because it's

01:47:32.340 --> 01:47:34.939
kind of just a fun, catchy little tune. Oh, it

01:47:34.939 --> 01:47:36.760
is. If I remember correctly, I think your mother

01:47:36.760 --> 01:47:39.279
hated it for some reason. Like she didn't hate

01:47:39.279 --> 01:47:41.460
it. Which is strange because I think that song

01:47:41.460 --> 01:47:44.300
was made for the Minions movie. It was. And she

01:47:44.300 --> 01:47:47.819
loves the Minions. Right. Correct. Maybe it was

01:47:47.819 --> 01:47:50.430
just an overplayed type. That could be. Because

01:47:50.430 --> 01:47:53.170
it was on the radio always. B+. B +, I like that.

01:47:53.449 --> 01:47:56.470
I'm a Pharrell Williams guy myself. I like him

01:47:56.470 --> 01:47:59.510
a lot. And dude, I gotta say, as much as that

01:47:59.510 --> 01:48:01.409
song was overplayed, it was fucking catchy as

01:48:01.409 --> 01:48:04.529
hell. It was catchy. Absolutely. Final song from

01:48:04.529 --> 01:48:10.369
the 2010s. X's and O's by Ellie King. Daughter

01:48:10.369 --> 01:48:14.010
of Rob Schneider, who she hates because Rob Schneider

01:48:14.010 --> 01:48:15.970
is a piece of shit. Is a piece of shit, right.

01:48:20.600 --> 01:48:26.359
B. B? B. Just B. Straight up B. It's good and

01:48:26.359 --> 01:48:28.979
nothing else. It's good. It's a good tune. Catchy.

01:48:28.979 --> 01:48:32.420
Is it great? No. It's good. It almost, correct

01:48:32.420 --> 01:48:37.439
me if I'm wrong here, her style of singing almost

01:48:37.439 --> 01:48:41.100
reminds me of Adele in a way. Similar. I get

01:48:41.100 --> 01:48:44.119
that. Similar? Yeah. I get that. I always kind

01:48:44.119 --> 01:48:46.279
of like that track. Definitely seemed like a

01:48:46.279 --> 01:48:47.960
one -hit wonder because I don't know what she

01:48:47.960 --> 01:48:52.100
has done since. I don't, right. 2020s. Six songs.

01:48:52.199 --> 01:48:56.359
Here we go. Heat Waves by Glass Animals. Oh,

01:48:56.720 --> 01:49:01.859
S. S? Damn. S. Straight up S. Yeah, I like them

01:49:01.859 --> 01:49:03.600
a lot. I think they're due for some big things.

01:49:03.739 --> 01:49:06.920
I think you're right. Yeah. Lavender Haze by

01:49:06.920 --> 01:49:11.680
Taylor Swift. Ah, S. Damn, 2020s. It is one of

01:49:11.680 --> 01:49:13.939
my favorite Taylor songs, and I know lyrically

01:49:13.939 --> 01:49:17.560
probably not her strongest work, but I love the

01:49:17.560 --> 01:49:20.600
beat. It's a great tune. Production is great.

01:49:20.840 --> 01:49:25.899
Yes. 100%. Beggin' by Monoskin. S tier. Oh, my

01:49:25.899 --> 01:49:29.060
God. That's the first triple S we've ever had.

01:49:29.359 --> 01:49:35.000
I love the band, and they've done a couple good

01:49:35.000 --> 01:49:39.369
cover tracks. Yeah, it's so good. I really dig

01:49:39.369 --> 01:49:42.149
it. Whoever the vocalist is, the way... He's

01:49:42.149 --> 01:49:45.069
great. I don't know how he hits those notes while

01:49:45.069 --> 01:49:49.170
doing that. Like, I don't have much range. Like,

01:49:49.170 --> 01:49:53.550
my voice tends to go on the deeper side, typically.

01:49:53.770 --> 01:49:58.869
But, like, just whatever sound that dude can

01:49:58.869 --> 01:50:04.250
make is very unique. Yeah. And his style, too.

01:50:05.000 --> 01:50:08.380
Like, he has a good voice, but then lyrically,

01:50:08.460 --> 01:50:11.500
how he can say everything so fast. Oh, yeah.

01:50:11.699 --> 01:50:14.079
And, like, kind of go back and forth as the song

01:50:14.079 --> 01:50:15.779
progresses. It's impressive. Yes. I like it.

01:50:16.079 --> 01:50:21.380
100%. Triple S. Triple S, man. Moving on to another

01:50:21.380 --> 01:50:26.140
2020 song. Yep. Antihero by Taylor Swift. Oh,

01:50:26.300 --> 01:50:32.260
wow. Look at you. I only made the thing. Shit.

01:50:33.840 --> 01:50:38.060
Oh man, I don't want to do four in a row. I'm

01:50:38.060 --> 01:50:40.619
going to give that one an A+. Antihero is a great

01:50:40.619 --> 01:50:43.779
song. I too like Lavender Haze more than Antihero,

01:50:43.880 --> 01:50:45.439
but they're both good. They're both good, yeah.

01:50:45.979 --> 01:50:49.619
Penultimate 2020 song, Flowers by Miley Cyrus.

01:50:51.900 --> 01:50:54.300
I'm a hit or miss with Miley. And it's no offense

01:50:54.300 --> 01:50:57.279
towards her. I mean, I do like how she steps

01:50:57.279 --> 01:50:58.720
out, tries some different styles and stuff. I

01:50:58.720 --> 01:51:01.279
think she's great. And I love the fact that,

01:51:01.279 --> 01:51:03.579
like, Bruno Mars just kind of let her have the

01:51:03.579 --> 01:51:06.159
track and just be like, dude, that's sick. Run

01:51:06.159 --> 01:51:10.060
with it. Yeah, I agree. I'm going to give her

01:51:10.060 --> 01:51:14.699
an A. An A? Mm -hmm. I like that. 2020's been

01:51:14.699 --> 01:51:18.050
hitting for you so far. It has. Final 2020 song

01:51:18.050 --> 01:51:21.470
of this tiered listing segment, Lose Control

01:51:21.470 --> 01:51:26.409
by Teddy Swims. Here's what's interesting about

01:51:26.409 --> 01:51:29.649
that. Do tell. Like, when it first came out,

01:51:29.670 --> 01:51:32.970
I thought it was fine. Literally, like, fine.

01:51:33.130 --> 01:51:35.250
Just an okay tune. It's kind of soulful. But

01:51:35.250 --> 01:51:37.449
the more I listened to it, the more I liked it.

01:51:37.489 --> 01:51:40.069
And then there's this guy at our local bar on

01:51:40.069 --> 01:51:42.229
karaoke nights that does it. And he does his

01:51:42.229 --> 01:51:44.840
version. And I'm like... Man, he like, because

01:51:44.840 --> 01:51:47.500
I can physically, I'm there in that moment with

01:51:47.500 --> 01:51:51.560
him, watching him get so into this song that

01:51:51.560 --> 01:51:54.399
now I'm like. I think I like this song. Yeah,

01:51:54.399 --> 01:51:56.439
yeah, yeah. And now I'm listening to it maybe

01:51:56.439 --> 01:51:58.060
a little bit differently now that I've seen him

01:51:58.060 --> 01:52:00.760
do it live a couple times. And I really dig it.

01:52:00.819 --> 01:52:03.539
And there's this other kid locally that sings,

01:52:03.699 --> 01:52:07.239
and he sounds a lot like Teddy Swims. And so

01:52:07.239 --> 01:52:10.619
now it's like, okay, we're getting back to that

01:52:10.619 --> 01:52:13.739
sound again. And I think that's great for music.

01:52:15.439 --> 01:52:19.000
I'm going to give it an S tier. Damn. I was trying

01:52:19.000 --> 01:52:21.000
really hard not to, but I'm like, I kind of have

01:52:21.000 --> 01:52:23.680
to. That's the point of tier listing. You got

01:52:23.680 --> 01:52:26.140
to be honest. Right. Got to be honest. Well,

01:52:26.199 --> 01:52:30.180

got a B. Radioactive, Imagine Dragons, C minus.

01:53:27.810 --> 01:53:31.010
