WEBVTT

00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:14.660
Everyone, welcome back to Main Mic. I'm your

00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:19.420
host, Harper, and this episode is reversed. Today

00:00:19.420 --> 00:00:23.800
we have Zach as our guest. Yeah. Oh my gosh.

00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:28.140
How do you feel now that you have given me the

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:31.460
position as host? I've given you so much power.

00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.899
I feel great. It's a lot off my plate, but at

00:00:35.899 --> 00:00:39.820
the same time, a lot more on my plate. But I'm

00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:43.939
excited. Yeah, we last episode had the discussion

00:00:43.939 --> 00:00:46.960
of what was our name going to be. This is so

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.920
true. We finally came up with it. This is the

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.780
main mic. Our entire podcast here for The Messenger

00:00:56.780 --> 00:00:59.500
is still going to be called The Messenger Mic'd

00:00:59.500 --> 00:01:02.320
Up. However, this section is going to be called

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.489
Main Mic with your host, Harper. If that doesn't

00:01:06.489 --> 00:01:09.370
give any context clues to anybody, be ready for

00:01:09.370 --> 00:01:12.430
some more segments on the Messenger Mic'd Up.

00:01:12.590 --> 00:01:15.790
This is kind of the bigger episode that you guys

00:01:15.790 --> 00:01:19.939
will get weekly where it'll be like... local

00:01:19.939 --> 00:01:22.920
like news in a sense you'll get like an hour

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.900
and a half max probably more maybe of me yeah

00:01:26.900 --> 00:01:31.560
uh i will report you the weather some specific

00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:35.760
events to uh kansas itself johnson county uh

00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.760
specifically targeted of course we also have

00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:40.579
johnson county community college events that

00:01:40.579 --> 00:01:45.420
i will be uh telling you uh what else oh just

00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:48.239
like fun things yeah kind of just things all

00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.019
around the Johnson County area, a lot of what's

00:01:52.019 --> 00:01:55.459
going on on campus at JCCC. Sometimes we'll talk

00:01:55.459 --> 00:01:58.120
about what's going on in the KC Metro area. If

00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.019
there's big news, we'll talk about anything.

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.180
Our point is to kind of keep you guys in a loop.

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.419
We're obviously not going to be able to talk

00:02:08.419 --> 00:02:11.020
about everything because we're not... underneath

00:02:11.020 --> 00:02:13.719
every single category of a podcast. We're not

00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.960
going to always talk about politics. We're not

00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.219
going to talk about environment or sports or

00:02:19.219 --> 00:02:22.039
whatever. But we're going to talk about what

00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.539
we can and what's going on around it, especially

00:02:24.539 --> 00:02:29.759
in the JCCC area or the JCCC campus and the Johnson

00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:33.460
County area. Well, Zach, you worded it perfectly

00:02:33.460 --> 00:02:40.759
for me. Well, today... Obviously, we don't record

00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.379
day of, so it gives Zach some time to edit. But

00:02:44.379 --> 00:02:49.560
today we had a campus delay due to weather. There

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:55.580
was a frozen over. It wasn't even raining last

00:02:55.580 --> 00:02:57.159
night. It was just slight drizzling, and then

00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.360
it froze. I woke up, and I just saw a text that

00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.219
was like, campus is closed until 10. I'm like,

00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.400
okay. It kind of said. my day off a bit backwards

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.620
though. Really? Yeah. You have an earlier class

00:03:08.620 --> 00:03:11.159
that got like canceled? Um, I didn't have an

00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.979
earlier class that got canceled. My middle, I

00:03:13.979 --> 00:03:17.000
have three in -person classes, uh, Monday, Wednesday,

00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:21.419
Fridays. And my middle class of those three was

00:03:21.419 --> 00:03:28.240
a Zoom call. So I was given some time after that

00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.860
Zoom call to like, you know, finish up some homework.

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:36.069
And I completely forgot about my Third. Third

00:03:36.069 --> 00:03:38.750
period. I mean, I showed up like five minutes

00:03:38.750 --> 00:03:43.449
late. Kind of better than this morning when I

00:03:43.449 --> 00:03:48.110
took 30 minutes to defrost my car because I don't

00:03:48.110 --> 00:03:50.629
have a scraper for my car. Really? You should

00:03:50.629 --> 00:03:54.150
probably get one. I know. I need one. I thought

00:03:54.150 --> 00:03:56.849
our snow front was over. Well, there's six more

00:03:56.849 --> 00:04:00.030
weeks of winter because the groundhog says so.

00:04:00.629 --> 00:04:05.870
Yeah. I tried to... Tried to pronounce the groundhog's

00:04:05.870 --> 00:04:08.590
name. I'm not even going to try. No, don't. It

00:04:08.590 --> 00:04:17.009
sounds like a tongue twister. I think the short

00:04:17.009 --> 00:04:20.509
name people call him is Phil, which I might be

00:04:20.509 --> 00:04:24.089
wrong. I don't remember. I just saw him. That

00:04:24.089 --> 00:04:25.990
might be a wrong. You went in person and saw

00:04:25.990 --> 00:04:30.290
him? No, I saw the video of it. Oh. Aren't they

00:04:30.290 --> 00:04:34.189
in, like, Minnesota or something? Yeah, Minnesota,

00:04:34.470 --> 00:04:37.670
Pennsylvania. Somewhere in the world where it's

00:04:37.670 --> 00:04:40.610
still winter and groundhogs live free. I mean,

00:04:40.610 --> 00:04:43.990
he predicted it pretty accurately since we got

00:04:43.990 --> 00:04:46.269
a cold front. I know, literally like two days

00:04:46.269 --> 00:04:49.589
after he did it. A winter weather advisory until

00:04:49.589 --> 00:04:53.209
I think it's 6 p .m. today. Probably, unfortunately.

00:04:53.709 --> 00:04:57.759
But it's not terrible outside, luckily. You mentioned

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:02.180
your car. My car stalled the other day. Like,

00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:06.740
wouldn't even turn on. Like, literally. It was

00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:10.079
actually, it was yesterday. I was trying to go

00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.160
to class. Luckily, I was leaving a little bit

00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.560
earlier, too. But I literally turned in the key.

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.600
Nothing. Not even, like, I don't, not even like

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:23.500
a, nothing. It was just stalled. I was like,

00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.529
this is my perfect luck. Thankfully, my mom drove

00:05:27.529 --> 00:05:33.449
me. Very nice. But after I got home from class

00:05:33.449 --> 00:05:36.850
yesterday, my stepdad and I, he charged it with

00:05:36.850 --> 00:05:40.589
his thing. I don't know, cars. But, you know,

00:05:40.629 --> 00:05:42.750
it's working fine. And then I don't know what

00:05:42.750 --> 00:05:45.850
happened, but I went to AutoZone today because

00:05:45.850 --> 00:05:50.170
they do free battery checks. And so I was like,

00:05:50.209 --> 00:05:51.589
hey, can you check my battery? And they're like,

00:05:51.670 --> 00:05:53.829
yeah, no, it's not even close to dying. I'm like,

00:05:53.910 --> 00:05:57.680
okay. Cool. Thanks. So I don't know what happened.

00:05:58.019 --> 00:06:00.360
I didn't leave any of my lights on because, you

00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.720
know, the battery's fine. It's like 94 % or something

00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:07.819
like they said. So I literally, I'm glad it works

00:06:07.819 --> 00:06:09.980
and I'm glad it's fine. I just have no idea why

00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:13.399
it wouldn't even start. Like maybe like, well,

00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.600
there was corrosion on it. There was corrosion.

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.740
But then I don't feel it. I don't know. I don't

00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:21.279
know anything about cars. So maybe somebody can

00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.800
help. I've had a... I've had a couple run -ins

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:29.800
with dead batteries. I had an old friend, her

00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:35.240
battery died twice, I believe, because she had,

00:06:35.379 --> 00:06:38.120
what are they called, subwoofers? Subwoofer?

00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:43.379
Yeah, whatever the really loud... Like speakers

00:06:43.379 --> 00:06:47.420
in your car? Yeah. She had new ones put in, and

00:06:47.420 --> 00:06:51.129
they attached those to her battery. instead of

00:06:51.129 --> 00:06:53.870
something else so it was like directly draining

00:06:53.870 --> 00:06:57.949
him yeah and so that's a lot of power to put

00:06:57.949 --> 00:07:00.490
onto subwoofers well it was just draining the

00:07:00.490 --> 00:07:05.769
battery like that it was but i think she got

00:07:05.769 --> 00:07:09.050
it fixed okay that's good that was like a year

00:07:09.050 --> 00:07:11.610
ago i have to say yeah well hopefully it's fixed

00:07:11.610 --> 00:07:16.600
by now yeah yeah yeah yeah uh but No, and then

00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.300
I think the last time I heard, besides your story

00:07:20.300 --> 00:07:23.120
about a battery dying, there was just a screw

00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:27.759
loose to their battery. Oh, geez. It wasn't necessarily

00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.620
bad, but like their car just wouldn't start.

00:07:29.860 --> 00:07:31.860
And they had just gotten that battery put in.

00:07:32.300 --> 00:07:35.480
So the only thing wrong with it was like a screw

00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.759
to the battery was just loose. Like, you know,

00:07:39.779 --> 00:07:41.959
like a bolt. Bolted in. Doesn't even matter,

00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.269
but they got that fixed too. That's good. Could

00:07:45.269 --> 00:07:48.089
be a couple of those things. Maybe it's just

00:07:48.089 --> 00:07:52.009
slightly, slightly out of place. Maybe. Yeah,

00:07:52.110 --> 00:07:55.370
I know nothing about cars, so I can't really

00:07:55.370 --> 00:07:57.689
comment on that. I just know I have a lot of

00:07:57.689 --> 00:08:00.230
problems with my headlights. Yeah. I hate my

00:08:00.230 --> 00:08:02.110
headlights so much. They go out seriously like

00:08:02.110 --> 00:08:04.230
every few months maybe. Well, doesn't Johnson

00:08:04.230 --> 00:08:06.649
County have like a mechanic station? I think

00:08:06.649 --> 00:08:10.149
they do. And they're constantly, at least from

00:08:10.149 --> 00:08:16.120
what I've heard, looking for cars to... practice

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.040
on? Yeah, there's mechanics on campus that will

00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.139
definitely do it for cheaper than bigger companies.

00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:27.339
I have not personally gone to them yet because

00:08:27.339 --> 00:08:31.480
I don't know. I don't know. I don't really go

00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.759
to mechanics. Again, I don't know anything about

00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:38.480
cars. You just wait until your car is about to

00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.120
blow up. I'm like, hey, I need help. Yeah, and

00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.659
they're like, why haven't you... Like, you said

00:08:43.659 --> 00:08:45.419
it's been happening for how many years, and why

00:08:45.419 --> 00:08:47.919
didn't you come in then? Yeah, no, before, because

00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.580
I got my oil changed not too long ago, but before

00:08:51.580 --> 00:08:54.220
that, I was, like, a few thousand miles over,

00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.360
like, before getting an oil change. So you probably

00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.340
had, like, no oil in your car. Yeah, probably,

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.240
and, yeah, but it was fine. I'm doing great now.

00:09:02.379 --> 00:09:04.879
My car is fine. Yeah. So what's going on on campus?

00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.059
All right, so I did do some digging, as in I

00:09:09.059 --> 00:09:13.080
looked at our school website. Okay, so last day

00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.299
to drop our full semester course without a W

00:09:16.299 --> 00:09:20.039
on your permanent record is next Monday, I believe,

00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.360
the 17th. If it's not next Monday, it's the Monday

00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.000
after that. It's one of the Mondays. Yeah, so

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.059
this episode is going to be released on Friday

00:09:28.059 --> 00:09:32.399
the 7th. It's Monday the 17th of February is

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:37.120
when the last day to drop is. Then there are

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.279
some things on the... school website that you

00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.639
can go and just look and scroll down. Uh, first

00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.840
of all, we have our own museum. If you guys are

00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.580
not aware, the Nerman, I had a class in, uh,

00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:52.440
for extra credit, we can go there noon at the

00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.379
Nerman is what it was called. But, um, starting,

00:09:56.620 --> 00:10:01.259
I guess it was, uh, August 15th of 2024. So this

00:10:01.259 --> 00:10:04.299
is old ish news, but maybe you're not aware of

00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:08.909
it. We have an artist, Vanessa German. We have

00:10:08.909 --> 00:10:15.149
her special installation. It's called Ed's Owl

00:10:15.149 --> 00:10:23.149
or The Child Plaintiffs. So it plays, it says

00:10:23.149 --> 00:10:26.629
power figures, and it has courage and play, love

00:10:26.629 --> 00:10:29.269
and hope, grace and compassion, will and might,

00:10:29.370 --> 00:10:32.509
serenity and music, light and joy, and so on.

00:10:33.730 --> 00:10:36.350
I have seen this piece in person. I went and

00:10:36.350 --> 00:10:38.129
I saw it the other day. I was just walking past,

00:10:38.269 --> 00:10:41.470
but I stopped and I looked at it. It is a really

00:10:41.470 --> 00:10:46.470
good installation. Yeah. The Nerman's really

00:10:46.470 --> 00:10:50.629
cool, and a lot more people need to go and experience

00:10:50.629 --> 00:10:53.669
the Nerman because, I mean, it's just full of,

00:10:53.669 --> 00:10:57.750
like, really cool pieces. Every semester I stop

00:10:57.750 --> 00:11:00.970
by, I have photos and photos of students' work,

00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:04.919
artists' work. um just no matter what there's

00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.980
always something on display like we have a uh

00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:12.179
we have a ceramics and a metal is teaching class

00:11:12.179 --> 00:11:15.019
and you they display their students work and

00:11:15.019 --> 00:11:17.580
then there's also like i think a woodworking

00:11:17.580 --> 00:11:20.799
as well probably i wouldn't put it past yeah

00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.240
but i've seen plenty of installations from students

00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:30.179
and artists um from like I think a lot of the

00:11:30.179 --> 00:11:33.460
artists I've seen are from UMKC as well or teach

00:11:33.460 --> 00:11:37.559
at UMKC or at KU. A lot of local ones. Yeah,

00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.740
a lot of these artists are local, and I think

00:11:39.740 --> 00:11:41.899
it's great to just show up and support them.

00:11:42.059 --> 00:11:45.159
And as I keep scrolling on the Johnson County

00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:49.720
website, we do have a spring vase drive, which

00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:52.220
is exactly what it sounds like. All your empty

00:11:52.220 --> 00:11:56.169
vases that may be from... Let's see, Valentine's

00:11:56.169 --> 00:11:58.710
Day is coming up next week. It's the 14th, next

00:11:58.710 --> 00:12:00.850
Friday. So we will post an episode for that day

00:12:00.850 --> 00:12:04.970
as well. But if you have any leftover vases from

00:12:04.970 --> 00:12:08.990
flowers that you might get from all sorts of

00:12:08.990 --> 00:12:12.779
romantic lovers that you have. Or whatever it

00:12:12.779 --> 00:12:15.440
may be. You never know. Yeah. I mean, my dad

00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:17.299
gets me flowers all the time, and then I have

00:12:17.299 --> 00:12:21.059
a huge stack of just plain vases. But if you

00:12:21.059 --> 00:12:24.179
would like to donate your vases to help a local

00:12:24.179 --> 00:12:28.419
nonprofit floral group, you can do so at the

00:12:28.419 --> 00:12:32.700
Science Center. That lasts till April 30th, so

00:12:32.700 --> 00:12:37.440
it's... I'm pretty sure it's just 24 -7, but

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.139
it says it starts at 9 a .m., and there's no

00:12:39.139 --> 00:12:45.429
end time on that. But, yep, local nonprofit floral

00:12:45.429 --> 00:12:50.830
group, and you get the extra cabinet space. Go

00:12:50.830 --> 00:12:53.629
drop off your vases. You don't need them. Did

00:12:53.629 --> 00:12:56.909
you say vases? Vases. I'm being fancy. Vases.

00:12:57.409 --> 00:13:00.470
Plural. I don't know. Vases sounds weird. I don't

00:13:00.470 --> 00:13:03.809
like, like a vase, sure, but like multiple vases.

00:13:04.370 --> 00:13:09.019
Okay. Yeah. Okay. Get fancy with it. Okay. All

00:13:09.019 --> 00:13:10.679
right, let's get to the big news on the table.

00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.320
You know what it is. Oh, the Chiefs? Yeah. Oh,

00:13:15.340 --> 00:13:17.519
my God. We're going to the Super Bowl for the

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:22.429
third time in a row. What would it be? If we

00:13:22.429 --> 00:13:23.990
won this, would it be our third win in a row?

00:13:24.190 --> 00:13:26.049
Yeah. That's never happened. It would make history.

00:13:26.529 --> 00:13:28.830
It's never happened before. There's been two

00:13:28.830 --> 00:13:30.789
Super Bowls back -to -back before, right? That

00:13:30.789 --> 00:13:34.309
wasn't us? Yes. I think we're the second team

00:13:34.309 --> 00:13:36.450
to have won back -to -back. I think it was the

00:13:36.450 --> 00:13:38.690
Patriots probably. Patriots, yep. But no team

00:13:38.690 --> 00:13:41.590
has ever won three in a row. So we're going against

00:13:41.590 --> 00:13:44.870
the Philadelphia Eagles. Great team, but they

00:13:44.870 --> 00:13:48.009
don't have Jason Kelsey on there anymore. Yeah,

00:13:48.110 --> 00:13:50.289
I know. Here, knock on wood for us, please. Knock

00:13:50.289 --> 00:13:53.639
on wood. Everybody knock on wood. I mean, either

00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.080
way, it's going to be a really good game. It's

00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:57.720
definitely going to be a high -scoring game.

00:13:58.179 --> 00:14:02.059
I've gotten into football a lot recently. By

00:14:02.059 --> 00:14:04.980
recently, I mean literally like four years now

00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:08.960
probably. So recency in my life, I guess. But

00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:14.679
it was before all the Chiefs praise came. So

00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:17.590
I'm not... I didn't jump on the bandwagon, I

00:14:17.590 --> 00:14:20.389
swear. Yeah, back when the Royals were a big

00:14:20.389 --> 00:14:22.370
thing. Yeah, back when the Royals were a big

00:14:22.370 --> 00:14:25.690
thing, I became a Chiefs fan. Now we don't even

00:14:25.690 --> 00:14:27.629
know who the Royals are. I mean, they're there.

00:14:29.129 --> 00:14:33.350
I don't really follow MLB, though. I like the

00:14:33.350 --> 00:14:39.490
Cubs. I'm from Illinois, so big Cubs fan. All

00:14:39.490 --> 00:14:42.590
my family's. pretty much Cub fans so and they

00:14:42.590 --> 00:14:45.370
also like the Bears but the Bears are notoriously

00:14:45.370 --> 00:14:49.710
also really bad so we we mainly go for the Chiefs

00:14:49.710 --> 00:14:56.269
yeah I mean I was I mean growing up at least

00:14:56.269 --> 00:15:00.070
not into sports and I still am not but I was

00:15:00.070 --> 00:15:02.169
always introduced to those I was always going

00:15:02.169 --> 00:15:04.549
to baseball games as a kid like the Royals or

00:15:04.549 --> 00:15:08.940
the Chiefs It was more for my dad and brothers.

00:15:09.299 --> 00:15:13.059
Yeah. Because obviously sports really stuck with

00:15:13.059 --> 00:15:19.159
that, like with them. But I never saw the appeal.

00:15:19.259 --> 00:15:22.240
I do really enjoy when people are like, ooh,

00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.620
it's football season. That's fall. I love it.

00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:26.779
Yeah, that's true. You know, football season,

00:15:26.980 --> 00:15:29.700
like every weekend there's probably like chili

00:15:29.700 --> 00:15:33.139
or I don't know what people's like game day rituals

00:15:33.139 --> 00:15:37.009
are. Food -wise? Oh, yeah, I know. Football,

00:15:37.330 --> 00:15:40.870
food. If your family is really into football

00:15:40.870 --> 00:15:43.490
and can make good food, it is some of the best

00:15:43.490 --> 00:15:45.730
food you'll get. Oh, my God. No, yeah, every

00:15:45.730 --> 00:15:50.250
Chiefs Sunday, Thursday, whatever it is. Monday,

00:15:50.330 --> 00:15:52.970
Tuesday, Sundays, I think. I think we're usually

00:15:52.970 --> 00:15:54.909
Sunday at football, but, you know. I think so.

00:15:54.970 --> 00:15:56.309
Now we're going to Super Bowl, so now it's Super

00:15:56.309 --> 00:16:01.139
Bowl Sunday. Anywho. Yeah, no, I was always so

00:16:01.139 --> 00:16:05.320
excited for whenever my mom would, she's a super

00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:07.919
big Chiefs fan, always has been. She would always

00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.440
make chili spaghetti on Super Bowl. Yeah, and

00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.360
then we would have, it's either like Hawaiian

00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.240
rolls or cornbread or something sweet to balance

00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.659
it out. Sometimes I would go make cinnamon rolls,

00:16:19.740 --> 00:16:23.740
but it was always the game day food. There are

00:16:23.740 --> 00:16:27.740
also like, you know, people who religiously eat

00:16:27.740 --> 00:16:30.450
ribs. Oh, yeah. Like barbecue? Kansas City's

00:16:30.450 --> 00:16:33.090
best known for it, kind of. Kind of. Well, I

00:16:33.090 --> 00:16:35.009
would say so now. I think actually a lot of people

00:16:35.009 --> 00:16:37.629
prefer Kansas barbecue over Texas barbecue now.

00:16:37.710 --> 00:16:40.490
I've not heard that yet. Really? I've heard it

00:16:40.490 --> 00:16:43.990
a lot. You're the first person. Well, I used

00:16:43.990 --> 00:16:47.370
to, I mean, I still kind of do work with a barbecue

00:16:47.370 --> 00:16:50.509
company. I don't really need to say the company

00:16:50.509 --> 00:16:55.440
name. But whenever I would. go up to our customers.

00:16:55.539 --> 00:16:57.919
I would like food run or host. They would always

00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.639
be the first to tell me that I'm from Louisiana,

00:17:00.740 --> 00:17:04.759
Texas, Virginia, something like that. Kentucky,

00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:09.160
this barbecue is better than our hometown. But

00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:10.680
I always felt like they were just saying that.

00:17:10.859 --> 00:17:12.779
No, I think Kansas barbecue really is just that

00:17:12.779 --> 00:17:17.519
good. Really? I think so. My stepdad makes really

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:21.980
good brisket. Yeah. No, I'm a huge pulled pork

00:17:21.980 --> 00:17:25.180
fan. I like pulled pork. I like, Yeah, no, I

00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:28.180
like good pulled pork is really good, especially

00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:33.759
as a sandwich in between buns and pickles. Now

00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:36.000
I'm hungry for barbecue. Actually, funny story.

00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.180
I literally was driving to campus today and was

00:17:38.180 --> 00:17:40.740
like, barbecue sounds really good. I'm so glad

00:17:40.740 --> 00:17:42.660
we brought up barbecue then. That's so random.

00:17:43.619 --> 00:17:45.319
What's your favorite barbecue in Kansas City,

00:17:45.380 --> 00:17:52.009
though? I've gone to Joe's. It's more on the

00:17:52.009 --> 00:17:54.430
expensive side, obviously, but it's good. It's

00:17:54.430 --> 00:17:56.690
good. What if they have, like, the He -Man burger

00:17:56.690 --> 00:17:58.789
or something like that? I don't know. The last

00:17:58.789 --> 00:18:00.349
time I went was, like, two or three years ago,

00:18:00.410 --> 00:18:03.309
I think. Oh. I don't really. Don't quote me on

00:18:03.309 --> 00:18:05.650
that burger, then, because I'm pretty, I'm just,

00:18:05.710 --> 00:18:08.269
like, from years ago, from when I had it. It's

00:18:08.269 --> 00:18:10.809
just, like, a burger with, like, I think it's

00:18:10.809 --> 00:18:12.789
just, like, brisket or pulled pork, and then

00:18:12.789 --> 00:18:15.369
there's also, like, whatever, and then an onion

00:18:15.369 --> 00:18:17.710
ring on it. That burger. That sounds pretty good,

00:18:17.750 --> 00:18:20.349
yeah. It's so good. That's what I would get.

00:18:21.270 --> 00:18:24.869
Um, I don't, I don't really get barbecue that

00:18:24.869 --> 00:18:26.670
much for as much as I'm hyping it up. I don't

00:18:26.670 --> 00:18:28.950
really eat barbecue that much unless it's like

00:18:28.950 --> 00:18:31.509
homemade, but I don't really go out and get it.

00:18:31.569 --> 00:18:35.369
I mean, I sometimes, you know, get like, I went

00:18:35.369 --> 00:18:39.170
to Des Moines over last week, um, for a theater

00:18:39.170 --> 00:18:43.230
festival here at JCCC, but, um, they had, there's

00:18:43.230 --> 00:18:45.869
a local barbecue place. I forget what it's called,

00:18:45.910 --> 00:18:49.369
but it was really good. Um, we, we got it twice

00:18:49.369 --> 00:18:54.599
cause it was so good. And when I used to visit

00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:57.819
my grandparents in Arkansas, they also had a

00:18:57.819 --> 00:19:02.420
local chain, not really chain, sorry, just like

00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:05.099
a local restaurant. And I would get it every

00:19:05.099 --> 00:19:07.019
time. And I would beg my parents. I'm like, hey,

00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:09.720
we got to get this because it's that good to

00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:12.799
me. And everybody else is like, oh, it's so whatever.

00:19:13.500 --> 00:19:15.819
It's kind of mid. But like, you know, they're

00:19:15.819 --> 00:19:17.240
not going to say mid because they're like 40.

00:19:18.129 --> 00:19:20.410
They're like, it's all right. I'm like, no, it's

00:19:20.410 --> 00:19:23.529
good. It's great. It's amazing. Let's go right

00:19:23.529 --> 00:19:28.869
now. My mouth is watering. No, I don't really

00:19:28.869 --> 00:19:31.690
know the big barbecue chains that everyone's

00:19:31.690 --> 00:19:36.369
comparing. I know there's Joe's Barbecue. There's

00:19:36.369 --> 00:19:41.349
obviously Jack Stack. Wait, hold on. Oh, I got

00:19:41.349 --> 00:19:43.559
it mixed up. Jack Stack is where I went a few

00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:44.880
years ago. That's more on the expensive side.

00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.039
Joe's I've also gotten, which Joe's is not expensive.

00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:52.119
Well, it's not as expensive, but it's good. That's

00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:54.380
the one that I got as takeout a couple of times.

00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:56.660
Jack Stack's good. Jack Stack's is good. That

00:19:56.660 --> 00:19:58.960
one's expensive. That's the one I got mixed up.

00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:01.180
I will say it's expensive, but they have lame

00:20:01.180 --> 00:20:04.579
ribs. Yeah, it's good. It's good. It is good

00:20:04.579 --> 00:20:07.940
barbecue. It's just expensive. So there are a

00:20:07.940 --> 00:20:10.710
couple of things I like at Jack Stack. We were

00:20:10.710 --> 00:20:12.490
talking about Joe's and I was talking about like

00:20:12.490 --> 00:20:14.930
that. I really don't know what it's called, but

00:20:14.930 --> 00:20:16.529
I really want to say it's like a He -Man burger.

00:20:17.130 --> 00:20:20.269
Or like not even burger, just like sandwich.

00:20:21.289 --> 00:20:23.789
That was my favorite at that place. Like I said,

00:20:23.789 --> 00:20:25.609
with like the underring ring on it. And I'm pretty

00:20:25.609 --> 00:20:29.150
sure Jack Stack has one like it and it's called

00:20:29.150 --> 00:20:33.029
the Stack Sandwich. I have not had that one yet,

00:20:33.089 --> 00:20:37.809
but it. Should be, like, similar. The only thing

00:20:37.809 --> 00:20:43.190
different is the seasoning and the sauce. But

00:20:43.190 --> 00:20:45.549
my favorite thing that we get at Jack Stack,

00:20:45.789 --> 00:20:49.609
appetizer -wise, the shrimp. Oh, yeah. Oh, my

00:20:49.609 --> 00:20:52.390
God, the shrimp is so good. Yeah, it's good.

00:20:53.069 --> 00:20:56.170
It's been a while since I've been, so. I also

00:20:56.170 --> 00:20:59.650
like, not to promo them, but they also have,

00:20:59.670 --> 00:21:02.150
like, really good salmon dip as well for appetizer.

00:21:02.289 --> 00:21:07.000
Mm -hmm. I didn't try that, but yeah. I mean,

00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.500
the meals that I get are like Hatfield and then

00:21:11.500 --> 00:21:15.539
like a sandwich. And then they're, I mentioned

00:21:15.539 --> 00:21:17.880
this so I could say this, they're pulled pork

00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.259
mac and cheese. Oh, I remember seeing that. I

00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:22.859
don't know if I got it, but I remember seeing

00:21:22.859 --> 00:21:26.440
that on the menu. It's so good. I can imagine.

00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:28.940
No, it's so good. And it has their honey barbecue

00:21:28.940 --> 00:21:32.099
sauce on it. Oh, I love honey barbecue. Honey

00:21:32.099 --> 00:21:35.099
barbecue is honestly top five flavor. I love

00:21:35.099 --> 00:21:37.839
honey barbecue. I think it's very overhated because

00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:40.799
it has honey in it and people are like, eh. They

00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:44.559
think it's sweet. It's not. I mean, it is, but

00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.480
it's not like. It's not like sugary. It's good.

00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:53.740
It combines the tang and whatever else flavors.

00:21:54.660 --> 00:21:59.420
But it's good. And, yeah, I mean. Jack Stack

00:21:59.420 --> 00:22:02.859
is, like, a number one, I guess, like, game day.

00:22:03.380 --> 00:22:06.039
It's a game day food. It's a game day food. It's

00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:09.119
also a very, like, big tourist spot for people

00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:13.759
to come to Kansas City. 100%. Yeah, Jack Stack

00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:17.640
is a huge spot for, like, celebrities, too. I

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:23.380
don't want to lie, but I'm pretty sure Jack Stack

00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:25.559
was hosting Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey one

00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:29.309
night. I don't know. I cannot confirm nor deny

00:22:29.309 --> 00:22:30.849
that, unless you want me to look it up right

00:22:30.849 --> 00:22:33.769
now. I mean, it doesn't really matter. They've

00:22:33.769 --> 00:22:37.230
hit up some pretty popular downtown spots. I

00:22:37.230 --> 00:22:41.250
believe that. I feel like I remember hearing

00:22:41.250 --> 00:22:44.509
that they usually get a lot of local food in

00:22:44.509 --> 00:22:47.950
Kansas City. And I think that's thanks to Travis

00:22:47.950 --> 00:22:50.369
Kelsey. I would assume so. He's just introducing

00:22:50.369 --> 00:22:56.039
her. He's kind of a big deal. Yeah. Yeah, Taylor

00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.519
Swift, Travis Kelsey, they rented out Jack Stack.

00:22:59.779 --> 00:23:03.380
Yeah. What was it, the Crossroads location? Does

00:23:03.380 --> 00:23:07.700
it say? Hold on, I'm getting on Reddit. How long

00:23:07.700 --> 00:23:11.140
ago was it? A year ago. Like a year, like 2024?

00:23:11.420 --> 00:23:14.720
Like October, yeah. Yeah. So it was a couple

00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:19.339
months ago, like half a year ago. Oh, yes. Yeah,

00:23:19.460 --> 00:23:20.980
I guess that's not a year ago. I guess it is

00:23:20.980 --> 00:23:24.890
like the beginning of 2025. Yeah, October – early

00:23:24.890 --> 00:23:29.650
October 2024. So, yeah, like three, four months

00:23:29.650 --> 00:23:32.509
because it's February now. Yeah. No, I can't.

00:23:32.509 --> 00:23:35.549
It doesn't matter. But they rented out – it was,

00:23:35.549 --> 00:23:41.710
like, one of the Jack Stack locations. And I

00:23:41.710 --> 00:23:45.430
was, like – that was big news because I don't

00:23:45.430 --> 00:23:48.049
remember if it was, like, while. Like, they paid

00:23:48.049 --> 00:23:52.000
to have – Either a room or the entire place.

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:54.660
It looked like from what I did a little research

00:23:54.660 --> 00:23:56.920
on that they took out the entire thing. They

00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:59.259
rented out the building. Yeah, I think they paid

00:23:59.259 --> 00:24:02.700
like big money just to have that night. I don't

00:24:02.700 --> 00:24:05.200
blame them. Like it's rich people things. Rich

00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.339
people things, but also like give them their

00:24:07.339 --> 00:24:11.160
space. And I'm sure they like had like a lot

00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:13.519
of people. I don't think it would just be them.

00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:15.279
I'm sure they brought people. I wonder like if

00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:19.150
they had servers. Yeah. Who's working that night?

00:24:19.289 --> 00:24:21.630
Do you cut people if it's just them? Do you be

00:24:21.630 --> 00:24:24.049
like, hey, we only have two people coming in

00:24:24.049 --> 00:24:26.529
tonight. Can't say who. Who wants off? Just a

00:24:26.529 --> 00:24:29.529
big deal. Just like, yeah, you can't say who.

00:24:29.589 --> 00:24:30.890
Otherwise, everybody's like, I want to stay.

00:24:31.089 --> 00:24:35.289
I wonder how big that tip was. Oh, probably like,

00:24:35.430 --> 00:24:40.190
I'd say. Hopefully. I'd say if it's only one

00:24:40.190 --> 00:24:44.130
server for the whole night, then I'd assume it's

00:24:44.130 --> 00:24:47.779
like. their whole night's wage. Probably. Jack

00:24:47.779 --> 00:24:49.859
Stack employees, not to, like, Bennett, like,

00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:53.140
I'm not saying go work at Jack Stack, but I know

00:24:53.140 --> 00:24:55.279
they at least get, like, a couple hundred on

00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:57.079
busy weekend nights. Well, yeah, no, because,

00:24:57.160 --> 00:24:59.680
I mean, it's an expensive menu, and, you know,

00:24:59.700 --> 00:25:03.140
you go there to eat, and obviously, in American

00:25:03.140 --> 00:25:06.160
culture, you tip. You tip. You know, you go,

00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:08.920
you don't go somewhere and don't tip, hopefully.

00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:11.619
Please tip your servers. I worked in the food

00:25:11.619 --> 00:25:16.220
industry. Tip your servers. Yeah. That's your

00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:20.160
lesson for the day. I remember when 10 % was,

00:25:20.259 --> 00:25:23.019
like, the highest you should tip. I remember

00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:26.299
that. I started working when 15 was, like, still

00:25:26.299 --> 00:25:28.920
an iffy. Now it's, like, 25 is pretty standard.

00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:33.940
Is it 25 now? I think so. 20, 25? Absolutely

00:25:33.940 --> 00:25:36.220
not. I'm so sorry. I usually tip 15, if I'm being

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:40.640
honest. Yeah. Well, I'm weird. I don't do the

00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:46.769
math. So I like, if it's like a 17. You're not

00:25:46.769 --> 00:25:48.490
trying to sound like an a**hole. No, no, no.

00:25:48.750 --> 00:25:50.950
I'm trying to say how my math would work. So

00:25:50.950 --> 00:25:56.309
say it's like a 17 .25, like $17 .25 bill. I'm

00:25:56.309 --> 00:25:58.309
going to round up first of all. So the change

00:25:58.309 --> 00:26:00.269
is going to be 75 cents because I'm always going

00:26:00.269 --> 00:26:03.069
to make my tip make the entire check an even

00:26:03.069 --> 00:26:06.670
number because that's just me. So the last, I

00:26:06.670 --> 00:26:09.470
would definitely tip 75 cents just to round that

00:26:09.470 --> 00:26:12.910
up. And then I would probably do like five bucks.

00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:16.819
Or like six bucks. Five bucks? On a $17 tip?

00:26:16.980 --> 00:26:20.519
Yeah. Or on a $17? Usually. That's like... 20

00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:25.460
% -ish. Yeah? $17, 10 % would be $1 .70. Oh,

00:26:25.460 --> 00:26:27.259
that's like 30 -something percent. Yeah. Yeah,

00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:31.480
no, that's like 40, 43? I tip my servers, I guess.

00:26:32.339 --> 00:26:35.000
The thing I was trying to get across, though,

00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:37.440
is that I always make it even. Yeah. And then...

00:26:37.710 --> 00:26:39.769
Usually depending on the services, like how much

00:26:39.769 --> 00:26:42.390
dollar bill it is, but also depending on how

00:26:42.390 --> 00:26:45.150
big the check is. I usually tip depending on

00:26:45.150 --> 00:26:47.069
where I'm at. Usually if it's like drive -thru

00:26:47.069 --> 00:26:50.690
and I know they make like an hourly wage. I don't

00:26:50.690 --> 00:26:53.769
tip drive -thru unless it's baristas. Yeah. I

00:26:53.769 --> 00:26:58.029
mean, it depends for me. Like sometimes I can

00:26:58.029 --> 00:27:00.750
tip through the app. Yeah. It really depends.

00:27:00.809 --> 00:27:05.180
And I'm going to sound so snobby here. I will

00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:07.279
scan my phone. So it's, like, through the app.

00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:09.940
Yeah. I will always tip a dollar if I don't.

00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:11.759
You know, like, they have that, like, oh, like,

00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:13.759
gratuity. Like, it's always just, like, a dollar.

00:27:13.859 --> 00:27:17.400
I don't care. Except for, like, I don't know.

00:27:17.420 --> 00:27:20.339
I don't want to go in and just, like, oh, my

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:23.059
thing was, like, $5. So I don't want to tip,

00:27:23.099 --> 00:27:26.089
like. What would it have been? It would be a

00:27:26.089 --> 00:27:28.509
dollar. Yeah, I'd tip like a buck. If I'm getting

00:27:28.509 --> 00:27:30.970
coffee, I'd tip usually like a dollar. I mean,

00:27:30.990 --> 00:27:33.710
as somebody who worked as a barista for like

00:27:33.710 --> 00:27:39.230
a year, that's all we ask for. I still kind of

00:27:39.230 --> 00:27:45.250
do work at a cafe through Jack Stack, through

00:27:45.250 --> 00:27:51.930
their catering company. You do a lot. Yeah, I

00:27:51.930 --> 00:27:55.509
do. You're like, yeah, so I have this job. I

00:27:55.509 --> 00:27:57.609
also have this job and this job. Have you ever?

00:27:57.630 --> 00:27:59.849
And this job. And I'm a student. What was that?

00:28:00.190 --> 00:28:03.630
Austin and Allie Trish. Oh, yeah. That's me.

00:28:03.950 --> 00:28:06.230
Yeah. Except I'm not constantly getting fired.

00:28:07.109 --> 00:28:12.230
Yet. What? What? Who would fire me? Me, your

00:28:12.230 --> 00:28:20.190
boss. Okay, so. Just kidding. Let this be a recorded

00:28:20.190 --> 00:28:22.849
segment that you threatened to fire me. I threatened

00:28:22.849 --> 00:28:26.769
to fire you, yep. Unfortunately. But no, I did

00:28:26.769 --> 00:28:30.130
work at a cafe. I got hourly and I honestly never

00:28:30.130 --> 00:28:33.450
expected people to tip. People would sometimes.

00:28:33.769 --> 00:28:36.950
I would always assume maybe like a cash tip if

00:28:36.950 --> 00:28:39.230
they paid in cash. Yeah. Like give me your extra

00:28:39.230 --> 00:28:44.470
dollar or 75 cents. Well, I feel like cafe. do

00:28:44.470 --> 00:28:47.029
employees usually get more money than, like,

00:28:47.029 --> 00:28:51.109
a fast food, like, barista? It does depend. Yeah,

00:28:51.329 --> 00:28:53.289
and it kind of just depends on the place. It

00:28:53.289 --> 00:28:55.390
depends on who's the owner and if it's, like,

00:28:55.410 --> 00:28:58.769
a local owned or a chain. Yeah. Yeah, no, it

00:28:58.769 --> 00:29:01.450
does. Chain companies, I feel like, pay less.

00:29:01.630 --> 00:29:03.609
They do. What do you mean, feel like? They do.

00:29:04.230 --> 00:29:06.890
I said feel like because I don't know the actual

00:29:06.890 --> 00:29:10.069
statistics. They do. But, yeah, just based off

00:29:10.069 --> 00:29:15.180
experience. They do. But, yeah. No, that was

00:29:15.180 --> 00:29:20.619
pretty much just, like, tipping culture for me.

00:29:20.740 --> 00:29:24.359
I would, I don't know. I always, if I had to

00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:26.539
sit down in a restaurant, genuinely depending

00:29:26.539 --> 00:29:31.819
on my service, it would be, like, crappy kind

00:29:31.819 --> 00:29:36.640
of service. You still tip, though. 10, 15%. Yeah.

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:40.000
You'd ever not tip. 10, 15%. Because that's their

00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:43.960
life. I mean, if I was going to a bar, I mean,

00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:47.859
I don't. Bars are different, yeah. I, like, I'm

00:29:47.859 --> 00:29:49.680
just, like, assuming here, and I'm, like, being

00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:55.400
honest. I've gone to, like, bars with my family.

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:58.740
Like, we would go to, like, the Peanut or what

00:29:58.740 --> 00:30:04.259
was that one? It doesn't even matter. But if

00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:07.579
we were just getting, like, a side of fries.

00:30:07.900 --> 00:30:12.480
Yeah. And. I would get like a water or soda and

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:16.059
there's like one drink. We probably wouldn't

00:30:16.059 --> 00:30:19.619
tip that much. It depends on how much you order

00:30:19.619 --> 00:30:21.980
and how much. Yeah, it depends on how much of

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:26.160
a nuisance you're being, kind of. How much are

00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:27.799
you actually taking of that person's time and

00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:30.900
space? Yeah, no, that is something to definitely

00:30:30.900 --> 00:30:34.319
take like account for. But if it is like a restaurant

00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:39.470
and I'm sitting down, it's. Bad service, 10 -15%.

00:30:39.470 --> 00:30:45.089
All right service, 18%. Amazing great service,

00:30:45.289 --> 00:30:49.930
20%. Usually it's around 18%. Because I'm broke.

00:30:50.990 --> 00:30:54.849
Yeah, welcome to college. So I try to tip as

00:30:54.849 --> 00:30:57.809
much as I can without being... I feel like a

00:30:57.809 --> 00:31:00.589
lot of people, especially people around our age

00:31:00.589 --> 00:31:02.670
too, or maybe even a little older, they understand.

00:31:02.670 --> 00:31:04.529
I know a lot of people that tip like 5 -10 %

00:31:04.529 --> 00:31:08.799
and they're like, that's... my norm because like

00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:12.059
15 % if they're amazing and I'm like oh okay

00:31:12.059 --> 00:31:15.039
um so like sometimes if I go out with those friends

00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:16.700
I'll be like if you're paying for food for both

00:31:16.700 --> 00:31:20.000
of us I'll tip for both of us yeah no I've done

00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:21.500
that a couple times I'm like hey I'll pay for

00:31:21.500 --> 00:31:25.339
the tip because I usually especially if I don't

00:31:25.339 --> 00:31:26.660
have money in my account but they still want

00:31:26.660 --> 00:31:29.200
to go out I'm like okay if you buy me food sure

00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:31.559
I'll go out because usually I'm the driver too

00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:36.430
so they also It kind of pays off because I'm

00:31:36.430 --> 00:31:37.970
the one driving, so I'm the one wasting gas.

00:31:38.329 --> 00:31:40.450
And I don't usually ask for gas money either.

00:31:40.650 --> 00:31:43.269
Yeah, I also usually am like the ones that drive.

00:31:43.490 --> 00:31:46.009
But I love driving, my friends. This is like

00:31:46.009 --> 00:31:49.210
a very derailed kind of just, I mean, whenever,

00:31:49.329 --> 00:31:54.170
to our listeners, whenever Zach and I talk, it's

00:31:54.170 --> 00:31:56.349
just a yap session. Yeah, we kind of just go

00:31:56.349 --> 00:32:01.109
off and talk about. A lot. When she gets more,

00:32:01.109 --> 00:32:03.670
you know, like actual like guests and students

00:32:03.670 --> 00:32:05.990
or faculty, whatever it may be. I will for sure

00:32:05.990 --> 00:32:08.789
be on topic. I'll be in the room and I'll be

00:32:08.789 --> 00:32:12.150
making sure she's doing it. He'll like ring a

00:32:12.150 --> 00:32:14.269
bell, throw a pencil at me or something. Yeah,

00:32:14.349 --> 00:32:16.710
I'll bring my bell. You'll hear a bell. Every

00:32:16.710 --> 00:32:18.490
time that you do something wrong, I'll just ring

00:32:18.490 --> 00:32:21.049
it. And then only the viewers who listen to this

00:32:21.049 --> 00:32:22.990
episode will know what it means. We'll never

00:32:22.990 --> 00:32:25.289
discuss it again. Be like whenever Harper's getting

00:32:25.289 --> 00:32:29.450
off topic. Ding. There's, like, a ding. No, but

00:32:29.450 --> 00:32:32.589
it's just this episode, we don't really have

00:32:32.589 --> 00:32:36.569
much to talk about. I mean... Yeah, there's not

00:32:36.569 --> 00:32:38.569
too much going on in the world. I mean, there

00:32:38.569 --> 00:32:41.450
is, but, like, locally. We have, like, a short

00:32:41.450 --> 00:32:44.150
list of, like, four things, and we have, like,

00:32:44.190 --> 00:32:46.309
an hour of the episode that we have to fill.

00:32:47.809 --> 00:32:50.339
And... We did have a guest for this podcast.

00:32:50.420 --> 00:32:53.319
I won't spoil anything, but they did unfortunately

00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:57.059
have to cancel. Yeah, they fell ill. That is

00:32:57.059 --> 00:32:59.279
something, though. Everybody, wash your hands.

00:32:59.779 --> 00:33:03.440
Wear masks if you need to. Cover your coughs.

00:33:04.420 --> 00:33:06.579
With this back and forth weather that we talked

00:33:06.579 --> 00:33:07.920
about. With this back and forth weather, there's

00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:10.980
also just a lot going on. Neurovirus, stomach

00:33:10.980 --> 00:33:15.569
flu. Bird flu. Oh, my God. Oh my gosh. Tuberculosis.

00:33:16.450 --> 00:33:18.869
Oh my gosh. Yeah, be careful about that, guys.

00:33:18.869 --> 00:33:22.410
The tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas City is so

00:33:22.410 --> 00:33:26.210
scary. It's mainly outbreaking in downtown Kansas

00:33:26.210 --> 00:33:28.730
City area, but I do know that there are cases

00:33:28.730 --> 00:33:30.930
in Johnson County already. Yeah, unfortunately.

00:33:31.329 --> 00:33:33.869
Very unfortunate. I hope that there are no students

00:33:33.869 --> 00:33:37.089
at Johnson County that have tuberculosis. But

00:33:37.089 --> 00:33:39.509
if they do have tuberculosis, I hope they take

00:33:39.509 --> 00:33:40.990
care of that. Because I'm pretty sure if you

00:33:40.990 --> 00:33:43.160
start the antibiotics, you don't become... Like,

00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:46.019
you're not, like, spreadable. Yeah. No, if you,

00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:48.380
that's, like, one of the first things they do

00:33:48.380 --> 00:33:50.420
is make sure you're, like, they stop the spread

00:33:50.420 --> 00:33:53.539
of it. And then it's just treatment. We could

00:33:53.539 --> 00:33:57.559
also possibly jump from tuberculosis to the Minecraft

00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:02.339
update. We both, Zach and I, are huge game nerds.

00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:07.720
Minecraft. I love Minecraft. They just released

00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:12.360
their new teasers for. Well, they've been, throughout

00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:16.000
the last week or so, they've been teasing new

00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:19.579
variants for pigs, cows, and now they just released

00:34:19.579 --> 00:34:22.619
the newest ones for chickens. So now there's

00:34:22.619 --> 00:34:25.800
warm, cold, and then the regular chickens. Did

00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:28.320
you hear about the wolves, too? What are they

00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:31.650
doing with the wolves? Same thing. I thought

00:34:31.650 --> 00:34:33.789
they already did that. Did they? I thought that's

00:34:33.789 --> 00:34:36.309
like an older one. No, I'm pretty sure it was

00:34:36.309 --> 00:34:39.070
just... I'm not going to say I'm pretty sure.

00:34:39.269 --> 00:34:41.929
Oh, I don't remember now. The wolves, to me,

00:34:42.110 --> 00:34:45.050
have been white. It's the cats that have the

00:34:45.050 --> 00:34:46.809
multiple variants. Yeah, I know what you're talking

00:34:46.809 --> 00:34:49.929
about. I feel like I remember the dogs already

00:34:49.929 --> 00:34:52.590
having different variants, though. That might

00:34:52.590 --> 00:34:55.969
be bedrock. It might be. I don't know. I don't

00:34:55.969 --> 00:34:59.190
have bedrock. I unfortunately do. Unfortunately?

00:34:59.829 --> 00:35:02.650
Yeah, I don't like bedrock. Java is so much better.

00:35:03.050 --> 00:35:05.670
But anyways, I play bedrock because my friends

00:35:05.670 --> 00:35:08.650
are on Xbox and stuff, so we have a realm. So

00:35:08.650 --> 00:35:10.409
we have to be on bedrock, but it's whatever.

00:35:12.030 --> 00:35:16.250
But yeah, I know with the new chickens that they

00:35:16.250 --> 00:35:19.250
just released, they're also releasing new bushes

00:35:19.250 --> 00:35:21.650
for the desert, and then they're also releasing

00:35:21.650 --> 00:35:26.469
flowers for cactus or cacti. And they're, like,

00:35:26.590 --> 00:35:29.110
pink, like, bloom flowers, and they're, like,

00:35:29.110 --> 00:35:32.730
really cool, and I'm very excited. Oh, no, that

00:35:32.730 --> 00:35:35.090
was, like, literally a year ago. March 6, 2024.

00:35:35.610 --> 00:35:37.690
New Minecraft Wolves. So you might be right.

00:35:37.829 --> 00:35:40.070
Yeah, I thought they had different versions already.

00:35:40.170 --> 00:35:44.429
I've not seen. Oh, no. It's in Minecraft Bedrock.

00:35:44.909 --> 00:35:50.449
Just Bedrock? But it's beta preview for Java.

00:35:51.210 --> 00:35:52.949
You're telling me it's been in beta for a year?

00:35:54.190 --> 00:35:56.110
This is just an article I'm reading on the Minecraft

00:35:56.110 --> 00:36:04.510
website. It says... Eight new wolf variations

00:36:04.510 --> 00:36:09.550
coming into testing in Minecraft Bedrock. Bedrock

00:36:09.550 --> 00:36:13.010
Edition Beta and Preview and Minecraft Java Edition

00:36:13.010 --> 00:36:18.730
Snapshot. So... So maybe they're going to rope

00:36:18.730 --> 00:36:20.750
them in with the other mob variants when they...

00:36:20.750 --> 00:36:22.940
Because... Technically, they're also snapshots.

00:36:22.940 --> 00:36:25.099
They're not, like, a full update yet. Yeah, I

00:36:25.099 --> 00:36:27.619
haven't seen any of these, though. So, yeah,

00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:29.179
maybe they'll just rope them all into, like,

00:36:29.179 --> 00:36:31.340
one update since they're not officially out yet.

00:36:31.460 --> 00:36:33.420
Probably. Because, I mean, it might literally

00:36:33.420 --> 00:36:37.739
be called, like, the mob variant update. Because,

00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:40.380
you know, they make their big updates into, like,

00:36:40.380 --> 00:36:42.500
different updates. Yeah, they also have those

00:36:42.500 --> 00:36:44.880
bushes. They have the cactus flower. They have

00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:47.239
the... Falling leaves. Yeah, the falling leaves.

00:36:48.059 --> 00:36:53.289
What is it? They have different – is it a new

00:36:53.289 --> 00:36:55.429
biome or is it just like a seasoned kind of deal?

00:36:56.190 --> 00:36:57.929
There was a new biome they just added, but that

00:36:57.929 --> 00:36:59.590
one was like – That's like for the creaking.

00:36:59.590 --> 00:37:01.969
Yeah, the creaking. Yeah. We got white wood finally,

00:37:02.070 --> 00:37:05.710
so you can make white picket fences in Minecraft

00:37:05.710 --> 00:37:09.289
after 13 years. Yeah, and it's not birch wood.

00:37:09.750 --> 00:37:11.789
I know, and it's not – well, because birch is

00:37:11.789 --> 00:37:12.769
like a creaking. Birch is like yellow, yeah.

00:37:13.489 --> 00:37:16.070
But, yeah, no, we finally got white wood, which

00:37:16.070 --> 00:37:19.400
is awesome. I recently rediscovered that the

00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:23.900
mangrove biome existed because it got updated,

00:37:24.059 --> 00:37:27.400
and then everybody forgot about it. But, you

00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:29.579
know, they added the mangrove biome, and it kind

00:37:29.579 --> 00:37:31.719
of just went, like, unnoticed with the community,

00:37:31.780 --> 00:37:35.039
I feel like. Everybody, you know, the frogs.

00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:36.860
Everybody remembers the frogs because that's

00:37:36.860 --> 00:37:39.519
where they spawn. But I feel like nobody talks

00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:42.119
about the mangrove, and it's a good wood. Like,

00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:45.159
it's red, and it's nice. I personally don't remember

00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:48.920
it, if I'm being honest. Like, it's there, obviously.

00:37:49.539 --> 00:37:54.400
But it's, yeah, it's like a forgotten. I also

00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:59.719
forget about Acadia. Orange. Right? Is that orange?

00:37:59.860 --> 00:38:02.840
Acacia, yeah. Acacia. It might be Acacia. I don't

00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:04.599
remember, but yeah, it's like an orange. Yeah.

00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:08.500
Oh, mob vote. What did you vote? Hold on. Because

00:38:08.500 --> 00:38:10.659
they ended the mob vote. They're no longer doing

00:38:10.659 --> 00:38:13.139
it anymore, if you saw that. I unfortunately

00:38:13.139 --> 00:38:15.500
didn't meet the deadline. What would you have

00:38:15.500 --> 00:38:20.619
voted for? I, to be very honest, didn't look

00:38:20.619 --> 00:38:25.440
at him. Because the most recent one was Sniffer,

00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:31.260
Copper Golem, and the guy who runs around in

00:38:31.260 --> 00:38:33.639
the caves. I forgot what his name is. I voted

00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:35.690
for the Sniffer. And I'm glad the sniffer won

00:38:35.690 --> 00:38:38.969
because the sniffer is so cute. And you can call

00:38:38.969 --> 00:38:40.429
me a hater. I want them all to come in. Because

00:38:40.429 --> 00:38:43.250
the sniffer does like nothing for the game, but

00:38:43.250 --> 00:38:47.409
it's cute. Okay. So the 2020 mob vote for Minecraft

00:38:47.409 --> 00:38:51.150
was the Moobloom, the Isolager, and the Glow

00:38:51.150 --> 00:38:54.329
Squid. We all know that the Glow Squid won because

00:38:54.329 --> 00:38:56.650
of a certain Minecraft YouTuber who I'm not even

00:38:56.650 --> 00:38:59.550
going to bother to name. I voted the Moobloom

00:38:59.550 --> 00:39:03.949
like a sane person. I know. somebody or a couple

00:39:03.949 --> 00:39:06.210
people who voted for the ice oliger who i wouldn't

00:39:06.210 --> 00:39:08.449
have minded if one because ice oliger was cool

00:39:08.449 --> 00:39:11.309
had a cool concept but the moobloom was so cute

00:39:11.309 --> 00:39:16.030
i voted for moobloom as you should i find no

00:39:16.030 --> 00:39:19.710
point for the glow squid it's well okay now i

00:39:19.710 --> 00:39:21.929
like the glowing signs the glowing signs glowing

00:39:21.929 --> 00:39:24.469
signs are good now they have like a purpose people

00:39:24.469 --> 00:39:28.130
saw the good in them yeah but we could have had

00:39:28.929 --> 00:39:31.570
We could have had flower cow. Flower cows that

00:39:31.570 --> 00:39:34.429
interact with bees. Yeah. Like they're best friends.

00:39:34.530 --> 00:39:36.690
That would have been so cute. And buttercups

00:39:36.690 --> 00:39:39.550
would have been added. It's like a really cute

00:39:39.550 --> 00:39:41.449
flower. Honestly, I'm here for the decoration.

00:39:41.989 --> 00:39:45.889
Oh, I was so wrong. Okay, so the 2021 was Copper

00:39:45.889 --> 00:39:49.750
Golem. I was wrong with that one. Was I? Did

00:39:49.750 --> 00:39:52.190
I say Copper Golem for the most recent one? I

00:39:52.190 --> 00:39:53.869
don't remember what I said. Possibly. Anyways,

00:39:54.010 --> 00:39:57.750
2021 Copper Golem, Allay, and the Glare. I voted.

00:39:58.429 --> 00:40:03.289
Hot take for the LA. What did you vote for? I

00:40:03.289 --> 00:40:07.210
honestly don't really remember. It might have

00:40:07.210 --> 00:40:10.590
been the LA. I know. I'm looking at them, but

00:40:10.590 --> 00:40:15.010
I'm trying to look up their specs. What was the

00:40:15.010 --> 00:40:17.989
glare supposed to do? I think it just glowed

00:40:17.989 --> 00:40:20.989
like it would follow you. Actually, I don't know

00:40:20.989 --> 00:40:22.309
if it would follow you, but I know you would

00:40:22.309 --> 00:40:25.599
feed it. I think like the yellow berries from

00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:27.019
the lush biome. And it would give you something?

00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:28.880
I think it would just light up. I think it would

00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:32.079
create light in a cave. I honestly don't remember

00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:35.199
what I voted for, but I don't think it was copper

00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:37.760
golem. Yeah, a lot of people tried to vote for

00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:39.480
the copper golem, which would have been cool

00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:41.840
for redstone in a sense, but the allay is also

00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:43.940
really cool. And there also is redstone uses

00:40:43.940 --> 00:40:48.139
for the allay. Which one won? The allay. Oh,

00:40:48.139 --> 00:40:50.420
right. I do see that. They spawn in the woodland

00:40:50.420 --> 00:40:54.139
mansions. In that Minecraft realm with my friends,

00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:57.760
I captured, like, not even kidding you, like

00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:01.440
15 of them. They're just in my house. I'm going

00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:03.139
to make an enclosure for them, though. Okay,

00:41:03.199 --> 00:41:08.980
then we have... 2022. Yep. Sniffer, Rascal, or

00:41:08.980 --> 00:41:11.280
Rascal. Oh, yeah, Rascal. Tough Golem. That's

00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:13.320
the one that I got wrong. So, yeah, Tough Golem,

00:41:13.380 --> 00:41:16.469
Rascal, Sniffer. I voted the sniffer, like I

00:41:16.469 --> 00:41:19.010
said before. I voted for the rascal. That's okay.

00:41:19.769 --> 00:41:22.670
Honestly, this one is a pretty good mob vote.

00:41:22.789 --> 00:41:29.610
It was. But I wanted him because of mining. He

00:41:29.610 --> 00:41:34.030
would hold your stuff, right? I think he would

00:41:34.030 --> 00:41:37.090
drop stuff for you. The tough golem was the thing

00:41:37.090 --> 00:41:41.309
that held items. Oh. I don't remember what the

00:41:41.309 --> 00:41:43.420
rascal would do. Oh, we can look right here.

00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:45.219
The rascal was a mob that would have been found

00:41:45.219 --> 00:41:48.139
underground in areas below Y0. The rascal would

00:41:48.139 --> 00:41:50.000
have given the player hints to help search for

00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:51.880
it and would have also given the player an item

00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:56.500
if it was found three times. And then it would

00:41:56.500 --> 00:41:59.940
just, like, teleport away. Yeah, the tough golem

00:41:59.940 --> 00:42:05.579
is the thing that would hold an item. 2023 mob

00:42:05.579 --> 00:42:08.179
vote. The last one. Yeah, it was the crab, the

00:42:08.179 --> 00:42:12.360
armadillo, and the penguin. I don't remember

00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:15.360
if I... I think I voted the armadillo. It won.

00:42:15.539 --> 00:42:17.920
The armadillo won, because now there's dog armor.

00:42:18.059 --> 00:42:19.840
And I think that's the reason I voted for armadillo,

00:42:19.940 --> 00:42:21.559
but also the penguin would have been really cool.

00:42:22.019 --> 00:42:23.519
I voted for armadillo because I thought that

00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:26.659
was cute. Yeah. I like the armadillo. And also,

00:42:26.739 --> 00:42:30.300
I was like, so we had just, not just gotten turtles,

00:42:30.460 --> 00:42:32.980
but turtles still were relatively new, at least

00:42:32.980 --> 00:42:35.139
to me. Yeah, no, they were. So crab was kind

00:42:35.139 --> 00:42:37.000
of out of the question, even though it had a

00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:40.099
cool... thing with if you had the claw on your

00:42:40.099 --> 00:42:42.260
offhand you would have had extended reach and

00:42:42.260 --> 00:42:46.300
we also had the sniffers which would be like

00:42:46.300 --> 00:42:49.039
another like they're mainly found around the

00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:53.300
beach am I wrong or in desert biome the sniffers

00:42:53.300 --> 00:42:55.800
aren't found anywhere you have to hatch them

00:42:55.800 --> 00:42:59.320
so when they added you remember like the the

00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:03.420
brush with like sand and like the pottery that

00:43:03.420 --> 00:43:07.860
they did that died so fast That's how you find

00:43:07.860 --> 00:43:09.679
sniffer eggs, and then you have to hatch them.

00:43:09.900 --> 00:43:14.440
You can't find sniffers out in the wild. So I've

00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:17.039
actually never summoned one either, which is

00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:20.500
funny because I voted for the sniffer. But, you

00:43:20.500 --> 00:43:24.099
know, I mean, the penguin, I know my friend voted

00:43:24.099 --> 00:43:25.719
for the penguin because that's his favorite animal.

00:43:26.920 --> 00:43:29.739
But I wanted dog armor, and we got dog armor.

00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:35.599
There's been what? Counting, let's just say from

00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:45.159
2020, 2020, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023. Yeah, there's

00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:47.000
four mob votes. Well, there's five technically

00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:50.360
total if you count 2017. Do we want to count

00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:54.519
2017? I mean, it's the phantom. Oh my God, I

00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:56.800
hate the phantom. I don't know why we voted for

00:43:56.800 --> 00:43:59.000
the phantom. Because that was before they did

00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:04.780
the votes on Twitter, X. But yeah, because that

00:44:04.780 --> 00:44:07.920
one I think you had to be in person to vote.

00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:11.579
Really? You either had to go on the Minecraft

00:44:11.579 --> 00:44:15.460
website. I don't remember. The 2018 one was in

00:44:15.460 --> 00:44:18.340
parentheses said China vote. Yeah, I saw that

00:44:18.340 --> 00:44:20.199
one too. I don't know what that one was about.

00:44:21.099 --> 00:44:24.340
I don't see a mob vote. I don't know what mob

00:44:24.340 --> 00:44:30.360
vote they would have had. Oh, that's why we got

00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:38.150
pandas. Really? Yeah. It was between panda, crocodile,

00:44:38.510 --> 00:44:43.150
golden monkey, deer, and a pink dolphin. I never

00:44:43.150 --> 00:44:46.130
knew that. I thought pandas just got added. Honestly,

00:44:46.210 --> 00:44:48.269
yeah. Thanks, China. We got pandas because of

00:44:48.269 --> 00:44:51.030
China. And we got bamboo then. Yeah, we also

00:44:51.030 --> 00:44:53.170
got the bamboo from that. I'm fine with that.

00:44:53.349 --> 00:44:55.030
Actually, a crocodile would have been really

00:44:55.030 --> 00:44:58.349
cool too, but pink dolphin. All of them sound

00:44:58.349 --> 00:45:00.949
cool. I want them all. What would the pink dolphin

00:45:00.949 --> 00:45:02.849
have done? It would have been a dolphin, but

00:45:02.849 --> 00:45:05.969
pink. I mean, yeah, that's it. Maybe instead

00:45:05.969 --> 00:45:07.750
of giving you a speed boost in water, it would

00:45:07.750 --> 00:45:10.230
heal you. It might give you regen. Oh, pink.

00:45:10.449 --> 00:45:13.530
Maybe, or feed your hunger. I don't know. If

00:45:13.530 --> 00:45:16.130
you're low on hunger. Maybe let you breathe underwater.

00:45:17.210 --> 00:45:20.130
Ooh. We have conduits for that, though, so we

00:45:20.130 --> 00:45:23.909
don't need that. Yeah. But that's newer. Conduit?

00:45:24.170 --> 00:45:27.909
Is it? No. Based from 2018, though. The conduit,

00:45:27.909 --> 00:45:30.820
no. The conduit came out. With the ocean update,

00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:35.760
which came out, like, 20 -something. No. When

00:45:35.760 --> 00:45:40.699
did the conduit come out? I would really like

00:45:40.699 --> 00:45:43.119
to go back and play the very first snapshot.

00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:48.320
1 .13 is when conduits came out. When? 1 .13.

00:45:49.219 --> 00:45:54.440
It was 2018. Yeah. Well, aren't we in, like,

00:45:54.480 --> 00:46:04.199
1 .21, 1 .22? Jeez, I don't know. I honestly,

00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:08.539
I remember way back when Minecraft first came

00:46:08.539 --> 00:46:11.599
out. Yeah, so do I. I remember there just being

00:46:11.599 --> 00:46:14.579
like 10 blocks. Yeah, I remember watching like

00:46:14.579 --> 00:46:16.280
one of the first original Minecraft trailers

00:46:16.280 --> 00:46:20.599
with all my cousins. Core memory. And I'm so

00:46:20.599 --> 00:46:23.139
mad because I can't find that video that we watched.

00:46:23.340 --> 00:46:27.340
And I'm so mad because it like... Probably changed

00:46:27.340 --> 00:46:30.119
my brain chemistry. I was like, this game is

00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:32.119
my next hyperfixation for the next 20 years.

00:46:32.820 --> 00:46:36.440
Yeah, 20 plus years. Well, it came out, officially

00:46:36.440 --> 00:46:41.699
Minecraft came out in 2012. So, I think I either

00:46:41.699 --> 00:46:45.480
started playing it in 2012 or 2013. And then

00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:47.860
it's just been, ever since I've been playing

00:46:47.860 --> 00:46:49.900
it, it's been non -stop. I remember when one

00:46:49.900 --> 00:46:58.059
point, one point, 6 came out, I think, was one

00:46:58.059 --> 00:47:00.840
of the first major updates I remember. Was Redstone?

00:47:02.099 --> 00:47:04.659
No, Redstone was not original. Redstone was an

00:47:04.659 --> 00:47:10.599
update. I remember Redstone coming out. I don't

00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:14.619
remember. It's been so long. That was something

00:47:14.619 --> 00:47:17.880
I remember. And I remember having a gold block

00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:21.159
or a diamond block was something that was so

00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:29.599
powerful. yeah i know and i remember that honestly

00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:31.559
i don't know if it was just me who only played

00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:34.300
on creative but i only remember creative and

00:47:34.300 --> 00:47:36.840
oh yeah no i played on creative and then i remember

00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:41.559
like introducing myself to i remember first time

00:47:41.559 --> 00:47:45.199
i ever played hardcore mode It's scary. I hate

00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:48.440
it. It's scary. Do not attach yourself to anything.

00:47:48.739 --> 00:47:51.320
No, yeah, don't get too attached until you have

00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:53.159
Totems of Undying. Then you can get a little

00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:57.500
attached. Do not get a dog. Do not get a cat.

00:47:59.139 --> 00:48:03.679
That is my advice for... Hardcore. Hardcore mode.

00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:07.579
Only use hardcore mode to beat the Ender Dragon.

00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:12.179
Mm -hmm. I mean... Or do whatever you want. I

00:48:12.179 --> 00:48:13.860
feel like there's a lot of post -game stuff now,

00:48:13.900 --> 00:48:17.880
luckily. There's one, like, what's it called?

00:48:17.940 --> 00:48:20.900
Map or Seed. There's a Seed that I remember,

00:48:21.059 --> 00:48:26.599
strictly, that I would play constantly because

00:48:26.599 --> 00:48:34.679
I swore I saw Herobrine once on it. Yeah. But...

00:48:34.909 --> 00:48:36.530
I don't know. I think I was just... I used to

00:48:36.530 --> 00:48:38.389
watch, like, the old, like, Minecraft, like,

00:48:38.429 --> 00:48:42.409
Herobrine videos. Yeah. Like, the, did you see

00:48:42.409 --> 00:48:45.030
Herobrine, like, spotted here? Or, like, I was

00:48:45.030 --> 00:48:46.929
always so freaked out about that, no matter what.

00:48:47.409 --> 00:48:53.070
And the lore of Herobrine being removed each

00:48:53.070 --> 00:48:57.289
snapshot? Mm -hmm. That. It was great. No, it

00:48:57.289 --> 00:48:58.989
was so scary. What do you mean? It was great.

00:48:59.090 --> 00:49:01.730
I loved it. It was, like, my first introduction

00:49:01.730 --> 00:49:06.130
to, like... Horror? Horror, yeah. I was like,

00:49:06.190 --> 00:49:09.710
this is scary. I love it. Oh, my God. It was

00:49:09.710 --> 00:49:13.769
kind of like early renditions of creepypasta

00:49:13.769 --> 00:49:18.329
in a way. Yeah. I mean, it kind of is like this

00:49:18.329 --> 00:49:22.610
figure that you never saw but was always there.

00:49:23.289 --> 00:49:25.889
Oh, my gosh. I remember chunks disappearing.

00:49:26.530 --> 00:49:31.909
Oh, yeah. I had a world on my old laptop. And

00:49:31.909 --> 00:49:38.579
I mean like old. I think it was a bug, but on

00:49:38.579 --> 00:49:40.960
that day when I loaded in and saw my buildings

00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:44.460
just completely replaced by entire chunks of

00:49:44.460 --> 00:49:48.940
blocks, I went, nope, and I left, and I think

00:49:48.940 --> 00:49:51.559
I deleted the world. That was harebrained. It

00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:55.579
was. That wasn't a glitch or anything. I remember

00:49:55.579 --> 00:49:59.000
one time I was mining, and there was just strips

00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:03.960
missing. And that's, I got scared. Because it

00:50:03.960 --> 00:50:06.840
played that really eerie Minecraft. Oh, I know

00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:08.519
exactly which one you're talking about. Yeah.

00:50:09.099 --> 00:50:12.119
Like the one that makes you like, why? Yeah.

00:50:12.260 --> 00:50:14.280
The cave sounds in that game are terrifying.

00:50:14.539 --> 00:50:17.059
Why do they have those? I don't know, but they're

00:50:17.059 --> 00:50:20.019
great. I turn them off. I feel like they need

00:50:20.019 --> 00:50:25.820
to have like meaning to them. I think if they

00:50:25.820 --> 00:50:28.860
delve deeper into the Minecraft lore, more people

00:50:28.860 --> 00:50:32.519
would get into it again. I, yeah, I think if,

00:50:32.659 --> 00:50:40.880
if there was like, if you hear that noise, it

00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:44.019
means Herobrine is near you. How many altars

00:50:44.019 --> 00:50:46.780
or like, like, yeah, I guess altars like to the

00:50:46.780 --> 00:50:48.380
Herobrine, like summoning things did you make

00:50:48.380 --> 00:50:50.340
with like the gold and the redstone torches and

00:50:50.340 --> 00:50:54.159
the netherrack? I can remember. I'm not saying

00:50:54.159 --> 00:50:57.739
how many times, but I remember three like Herobrine

00:50:57.739 --> 00:51:02.340
summonings. Yeah. I remember a few. I remember

00:51:02.340 --> 00:51:05.400
there was one. It was basically a beacon. One

00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:07.639
that you needed lightning when lightning rods

00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:13.059
came out. That was pretty recent. Yeah. Copper

00:51:13.059 --> 00:51:18.340
came out like 2019, 2020 probably. With like

00:51:18.340 --> 00:51:23.960
the 13 disc. Yeah, the old broken one. That came

00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:28.679
out forever ago. I do remember the gold infinite

00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:31.159
water source with the... Oh, I remember that

00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:35.079
one. The standard one that I remember is the

00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:39.079
3x3 gold with the netherrack on top of that and

00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:43.980
then the four redstone torches and then the netherrack

00:51:43.980 --> 00:51:48.199
on top. That's the very standard one, I feel

00:51:48.199 --> 00:51:52.010
like. I remember that... Maybe I'm thinking of

00:51:52.010 --> 00:51:54.269
that one, and I just, like... I remember the

00:51:54.269 --> 00:51:56.829
water one, though. There was, like, lightning

00:51:56.829 --> 00:52:00.110
for one of them, but I don't think it was specifically

00:52:00.110 --> 00:52:03.190
to the copper, because copper was... Yeah, no,

00:52:03.269 --> 00:52:06.650
I think it might have been the same gold and

00:52:06.650 --> 00:52:09.050
netherrack one, just, like, per chance you had

00:52:09.050 --> 00:52:11.550
to hit it with lightning, maybe. I don't remember.

00:52:11.869 --> 00:52:15.130
How did we even hit it with lightning? Pure luck.

00:52:16.429 --> 00:52:20.010
I think that that is what causes Herobrine to

00:52:20.010 --> 00:52:22.670
show up if you do, in fact, get struck by lightning.

00:52:22.670 --> 00:52:24.630
Yeah, it has to happen by itself. By itself.

00:52:25.369 --> 00:52:27.610
Herobrine is entering. He's like, you know what?

00:52:27.670 --> 00:52:29.550
Yeah, I will enter, and I will let them know.

00:52:30.090 --> 00:52:33.769
But, like, what would he do even if he, like,

00:52:33.789 --> 00:52:36.969
got in the world? Who is he? Who knows? Like,

00:52:36.969 --> 00:52:42.070
what would he have done? Like, he would have

00:52:42.070 --> 00:52:45.329
found your IP address. Oh, my God, I hope not.

00:52:45.500 --> 00:52:50.320
No. Herobrine's just a hacker. I think that...

00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:57.420
I think he's just there to scare people. I mean,

00:52:57.420 --> 00:53:00.019
yeah, probably, but... I think it would be great

00:53:00.019 --> 00:53:03.079
if he was an actual mob. Obviously not one that

00:53:03.079 --> 00:53:05.320
you can spawn with an egg. Just one that randomly

00:53:05.320 --> 00:53:07.900
in a corner of your screen is there and then

00:53:07.900 --> 00:53:11.380
just gone. Yeah, like a pink sheep. Yeah, I love

00:53:11.380 --> 00:53:14.260
the pink sheep. Or a blue axolotl. Right? Isn't

00:53:14.260 --> 00:53:15.039
the blue purple one the rare one? Yeah, that's

00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:16.960
the rare one. The blue one's the really rare

00:53:16.960 --> 00:53:21.659
one, I think. It's really rare to get Herobrine

00:53:21.659 --> 00:53:25.719
on your server. Even rarer. Even, yeah. Rarer.

00:53:26.219 --> 00:53:30.699
Rarer if he spawns on his own. But it's rare

00:53:30.699 --> 00:53:34.860
for him to appear if you summon him. But yeah.

00:53:35.059 --> 00:53:37.900
I love Minecraft. I do love Minecraft. With all

00:53:37.900 --> 00:53:41.079
its ups and downs. What are some other games

00:53:41.079 --> 00:53:43.429
that... Like, we know of that might be getting

00:53:43.429 --> 00:53:48.070
some updates or... I mean, personally, I play

00:53:48.070 --> 00:53:51.690
Sims. I also play Roblox, and I haven't played

00:53:51.690 --> 00:53:52.949
Valorant for a while, but I used to play that

00:53:52.949 --> 00:53:56.590
one. But Sims has their 25 -year anniversary

00:53:56.590 --> 00:53:58.949
sale. Which is crazy. Yeah. That's been out for

00:53:58.949 --> 00:54:03.030
25 years. A lot of their games are half off,

00:54:03.130 --> 00:54:07.510
so I bought two expansion packs and, like, two

00:54:07.510 --> 00:54:10.690
kits for a total of $60. That's not bad. No,

00:54:10.710 --> 00:54:14.059
I know. I have The Sims 4 on my computer. I just

00:54:14.059 --> 00:54:16.820
haven't played it in a while. Well, first of

00:54:16.820 --> 00:54:20.260
all, a lot of people are complaining that they've

00:54:20.260 --> 00:54:24.539
been teasing Sims 5 for so long, but they've

00:54:24.539 --> 00:54:28.219
been updating Sims 4. They have been. I've seen

00:54:28.219 --> 00:54:31.920
it get constant updates. They have story modes,

00:54:32.119 --> 00:54:35.500
and you can play certain characters, and you

00:54:35.500 --> 00:54:41.349
can have certain endings. That, to me, is new.

00:54:42.030 --> 00:54:47.170
Yeah. But a lot of people hate it. That's weird.

00:54:47.829 --> 00:54:50.849
I don't, I mean, it's a... It's new content.

00:54:50.949 --> 00:54:52.170
I don't know why people would be complaining.

00:54:52.349 --> 00:54:54.349
It's basically a role play. Yeah, it's a role

00:54:54.349 --> 00:54:57.170
play game, basically. You create your character

00:54:57.170 --> 00:55:02.519
and then you... Do whatever. You play life. You

00:55:02.519 --> 00:55:06.860
do the 100 Baby Sims Challenge, the Generations

00:55:06.860 --> 00:55:09.340
Challenge. A lot of people do build challenges.

00:55:09.460 --> 00:55:10.820
I love build challenges. I've seen a lot. Yeah.

00:55:10.820 --> 00:55:13.619
I like watching the build. I like the ones where

00:55:13.619 --> 00:55:18.099
they theme every room in a building as a specific

00:55:18.099 --> 00:55:21.980
thing. Those are fun. I watched one where they

00:55:21.980 --> 00:55:26.690
do an entire house is one color. Mm -hmm. And

00:55:26.690 --> 00:55:28.510
sometimes I look really good, but sometimes I,

00:55:28.550 --> 00:55:30.010
like, really hate it. It depends on the color.

00:55:30.170 --> 00:55:33.210
It introduces me to new items in the game. Yeah,

00:55:33.210 --> 00:55:35.849
because there's a lot. Yeah, and with this update,

00:55:36.050 --> 00:55:38.570
they also did an update for their anniversary.

00:55:39.050 --> 00:55:43.449
They added 72 items, which is a lot. Yeah. So

00:55:43.449 --> 00:55:46.849
they added hair. They added, what are they called,

00:55:46.909 --> 00:55:51.090
edges. Like, you know, for, like, hair. Like,

00:55:51.170 --> 00:55:54.570
the baby hairs, but, like, they're... Do you

00:55:54.570 --> 00:55:58.469
know what I mean? Bangs? No, like, tiny, like,

00:55:58.570 --> 00:56:01.130
you know how some people will, like... Oh, like,

00:56:01.170 --> 00:56:03.030
just tiny little pieces that just, like, do that?

00:56:03.269 --> 00:56:04.929
Yeah, but they'll, like, glue them down to their

00:56:04.929 --> 00:56:07.789
forehead. Oh, yeah. So I don't know if in the

00:56:07.789 --> 00:56:09.650
game they're called baby hairs, but, like, they're,

00:56:09.710 --> 00:56:12.750
like, basically edges. Okay. Or I think that's,

00:56:12.750 --> 00:56:14.610
like, the word for them, edges. I don't know.

00:56:14.750 --> 00:56:17.250
I don't know. Like, basically just baby hairs

00:56:17.250 --> 00:56:19.369
that are stuck to the forehead of the Sim skin.

00:56:19.769 --> 00:56:25.119
Hmm. And... The other updates, they have new

00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:27.360
clothes. That's good. Like base game clothes,

00:56:27.420 --> 00:56:30.960
new base game kitchenware. They have a fireplace

00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:33.900
and they have a rug for that fireplace. That

00:56:33.900 --> 00:56:38.280
is the foot. It's like stone for the foot of

00:56:38.280 --> 00:56:41.260
the fireplace. Oh, yeah, that's nice. That's

00:56:41.260 --> 00:56:43.639
amazing. And I think that they should create

00:56:43.639 --> 00:56:45.559
more of that and have some little sections so

00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:50.679
it's not underneath a, you know, burnable object.

00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:54.420
Right next to – because, I mean, I haven't played

00:56:54.420 --> 00:56:59.679
Sims 4 in a while. I used to play Sims 3 so much.

00:57:00.579 --> 00:57:06.820
And I was always – the Sims Future Pack, loved

00:57:06.820 --> 00:57:09.780
it. I remember that, yeah. Island Pack with mermaids,

00:57:09.820 --> 00:57:13.579
loved it. I just got the Sims Island Pack for

00:57:13.579 --> 00:57:15.500
this one because I didn't realize they kept the

00:57:15.500 --> 00:57:17.599
mermaids in it. I thought they just did an island

00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:22.340
pack. Nope. Mermaids. Yeah. That's, like, the

00:57:22.340 --> 00:57:24.059
most exciting thing to me. I remember seeing,

00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:25.880
like, all those expansion packs, like, in the

00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:29.260
store. Oh, as, like, the, like, little CDs? Yeah,

00:57:29.260 --> 00:57:31.500
yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah, that's how I got the

00:57:31.500 --> 00:57:35.239
first three that I have. The first, it was, like,

00:57:35.260 --> 00:57:37.699
a pack of three. It was City Living, Get to Work,

00:57:37.739 --> 00:57:43.599
and I don't remember the third. I remember buying,

00:57:43.719 --> 00:57:46.840
like, the iSpy, like, CD games that you'd, like,

00:57:46.840 --> 00:57:51.900
put into your computer. Yeah. Those were the

00:57:51.900 --> 00:57:55.840
times. Oh, yeah. When everything wasn't downloadable.

00:57:56.039 --> 00:57:58.800
When everything didn't take up that much storage.

00:57:59.159 --> 00:58:01.739
And you had to keep it on a CD if you wanted

00:58:01.739 --> 00:58:03.639
to play the game. And if you lost it, then you

00:58:03.639 --> 00:58:06.179
were done for. Yeah. No, no, no, no. There was

00:58:06.179 --> 00:58:09.739
no, like, cloud to save your things to it. Multiplayer

00:58:09.739 --> 00:58:14.039
games? I don't ever remember buying them off

00:58:14.039 --> 00:58:17.199
CD. But I do remember. I bought a couple. Like,

00:58:17.199 --> 00:58:20.530
old. I bought, like, older Call of Duties. I

00:58:20.530 --> 00:58:23.750
mean, I... I have Overwatch on disc. I never

00:58:23.750 --> 00:58:29.590
played the... I never played, like, Xbox or PS

00:58:29.590 --> 00:58:34.190
growing up. I had a Wii. Oh, I had a Wii. I had

00:58:34.190 --> 00:58:36.869
a Wii and a Wii U. I also had a Wii U. I think

00:58:36.869 --> 00:58:42.050
I've had every... Variation of a Nintendo? I've

00:58:42.050 --> 00:58:47.610
had... Well, I grew up with a Wii. But it also

00:58:47.610 --> 00:58:51.550
was a Wii that used GameCube games. So I played

00:58:51.550 --> 00:58:55.230
GameCube games on the Wii. So it was kind of

00:58:55.230 --> 00:59:00.829
both. And then I had my DS. And then I had the

00:59:00.829 --> 00:59:08.090
Wii U. And then the Switch. I don't know if I'm

00:59:08.090 --> 00:59:10.230
going to buy a Switch 2. Did you see that they

00:59:10.230 --> 00:59:13.210
announced that? I did. It's just a switch bit

00:59:13.210 --> 00:59:17.030
bigger. Slightly bigger and it's not sliding.

00:59:17.030 --> 00:59:19.969
They snap in now. I feel like they're going to

00:59:19.969 --> 00:59:23.130
break pretty easily. I feel like a lot of people

00:59:23.130 --> 00:59:28.710
bend. Yeah, I know. I don't know. I mean, maybe

00:59:28.710 --> 00:59:31.210
they'll design it better. I'll have to touch

00:59:31.210 --> 00:59:34.769
one before I decide if I'm buying one. I hope

00:59:34.769 --> 00:59:39.800
that... They're easy to snap on and off if you,

00:59:39.820 --> 00:59:41.440
like, snap them sideways. You know what I mean?

00:59:41.559 --> 00:59:44.159
Because they look like they're, like, you know,

00:59:44.179 --> 00:59:46.800
you have to, like, click them together. But,

00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:49.719
like, I'm used to the Switch. You know, people

00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:51.760
would slide them off and whatever. But I would

00:59:51.760 --> 00:59:58.300
just take them off. Without the button? No. What?

00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:01.079
The button on the back of the Joy -Con that you

01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:03.300
have to press down in order to take the Joy -Con

01:00:03.300 --> 01:00:07.389
off? No, like, I remember, like... taking it

01:00:07.389 --> 01:00:10.210
off to like i think i had a broken switch if

01:00:10.210 --> 01:00:12.809
i'm being honest what i'm saying is i also had

01:00:12.809 --> 01:00:14.730
a broken switch that you didn't have to click

01:00:14.730 --> 01:00:16.650
the button and they just come off because that's

01:00:16.650 --> 01:00:19.010
broken yeah you're supposed to have to click

01:00:19.010 --> 01:00:21.710
the button in order yeah because that's the lock

01:00:21.710 --> 01:00:24.789
mechanism they're not supposed to come off like

01:00:24.789 --> 01:00:26.449
that maybe that's why i've been so confused when

01:00:26.449 --> 01:00:28.630
everyone's talking about them like i always just

01:00:28.630 --> 01:00:31.869
took them off my old switch did that yeah i bought

01:00:31.869 --> 01:00:35.260
a newer one like I bought the Tears of the Kingdom

01:00:35.260 --> 01:00:37.539
one when Tears of the Kingdom came out because

01:00:37.539 --> 01:00:40.219
I am a Zelda freak. So I was like, I'm buying

01:00:40.219 --> 01:00:44.579
this. And I did. I don't have a new Switch. And

01:00:44.579 --> 01:00:47.599
the Switch that I'm talking about has been retired.

01:00:48.940 --> 01:00:51.739
I had a day one Switch. I'm pretty sure that's

01:00:51.739 --> 01:00:54.139
the one I'm talking about. Yeah. My mom uses

01:00:54.139 --> 01:00:55.820
it now. So at least it's still getting love.

01:00:56.599 --> 01:00:59.280
Yeah. I remember the Wii U. It came out with

01:00:59.280 --> 01:01:01.739
something that looked like a Switch. Yeah, the

01:01:01.739 --> 01:01:04.539
gamepad. Yeah. That was its tire. That's the

01:01:04.539 --> 01:01:09.000
Wii U, yeah. But that was our first Nintendo

01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:12.820
Switch. Yeah, it was kind of. And then we got

01:01:12.820 --> 01:01:15.940
your first game one. At least that's what my

01:01:15.940 --> 01:01:19.539
family was. And obviously two younger brothers

01:01:19.539 --> 01:01:24.119
and myself, they all were very well loved. Yeah.

01:01:24.139 --> 01:01:31.119
And constantly destroyed. Yeah. Yeah. I don't

01:01:31.119 --> 01:01:37.599
know. It's... Who knows? Yeah, games... Who knows

01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:42.420
how the Nintendo Switch 2 will be? I know, they're

01:01:42.420 --> 01:01:44.500
just calling it 2. I mean, it's fair. It's kind

01:01:44.500 --> 01:01:47.000
of the same thing. I think the whole thing about

01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:49.960
Switch was the... Like, you take it out of the

01:01:49.960 --> 01:01:52.099
sockets, though. That's what everyone I've seen

01:01:52.099 --> 01:01:53.760
is complaining about. I thought they... Well,

01:01:53.860 --> 01:01:57.800
I think that was kind of the gimmick. as the

01:01:57.800 --> 01:02:00.260
Switch later, like the later life of the Switch

01:02:00.260 --> 01:02:02.739
was the point of that the Joy -Cons come out.

01:02:03.059 --> 01:02:05.739
But I think when the Switch, and I remember this

01:02:05.739 --> 01:02:07.800
so vividly because I remember my cousin freaking

01:02:07.800 --> 01:02:10.079
out about it. I feel like the entire point of

01:02:10.079 --> 01:02:12.940
the Switch was that it could be docked beyond

01:02:12.940 --> 01:02:15.139
the TV and then you undock it and now it's a

01:02:15.139 --> 01:02:17.119
portable. I think that was the entire point of

01:02:17.119 --> 01:02:19.059
the Switch. And then it later became about the

01:02:19.059 --> 01:02:23.559
Joy -Cons. I, yeah, I agree with that. Because

01:02:23.559 --> 01:02:25.219
now everybody, I feel like, just plays it usually

01:02:25.219 --> 01:02:26.980
in handheld. Yeah, you can take, in the Switch

01:02:26.980 --> 01:02:28.719
lights, you can take them anywhere. It's not

01:02:28.719 --> 01:02:30.219
just out. Yeah, well, those aren't dockable.

01:02:30.340 --> 01:02:33.000
Those are just, those are pretty much, because

01:02:33.000 --> 01:02:34.880
the Joy -Cons don't come out on those. That's

01:02:34.880 --> 01:02:37.579
just the console, which, I mean, is good for

01:02:37.579 --> 01:02:40.260
people who just use it by itself. Can you not

01:02:40.260 --> 01:02:43.139
connect the light to, like, a TV? Nope. Dang.

01:02:43.480 --> 01:02:46.000
It doesn't come with a dock. The Joy -Cons don't

01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:48.280
come out. It's literally just a Switch, portable.

01:02:49.059 --> 01:02:53.389
But it's also, like, $150 cheaper. Yeah, that

01:02:53.389 --> 01:02:55.369
just makes sense. I'm sure there is a way that

01:02:55.369 --> 01:02:57.869
people have gotten around to like get it onto

01:02:57.869 --> 01:03:00.070
a TV. Probably. I'm sure you can like plug in

01:03:00.070 --> 01:03:03.429
an HDMI or something. At the same time, then

01:03:03.429 --> 01:03:05.889
you have to, the Joy -Cons don't come out. So

01:03:05.889 --> 01:03:08.670
like you use it as a, I don't know, it'd be weird.

01:03:08.730 --> 01:03:11.929
But I think we have one more topic for the day.

01:03:12.170 --> 01:03:13.809
And this one will probably catch more people's

01:03:13.809 --> 01:03:16.349
attention. The Grammys. Oh my gosh. The Grammys

01:03:16.349 --> 01:03:18.789
just happened. I did completely forget that we

01:03:18.789 --> 01:03:20.329
wanted to talk about that. That's okay. This

01:03:20.329 --> 01:03:21.809
will be the last thing we talk about and then

01:03:21.809 --> 01:03:26.250
we'll let you guys go. Grammys. Thoughts and

01:03:26.250 --> 01:03:30.909
opinions. Personally, I was very shocked when

01:03:30.909 --> 01:03:33.389
Beyonce won. I knew Taylor Swift wasn't going

01:03:33.389 --> 01:03:36.389
to win because she was announcing it. But...

01:03:37.130 --> 01:03:39.489
I don't know how I feel about Beyonce winning

01:03:39.489 --> 01:03:42.409
album of the year. That's the only takeaway I

01:03:42.409 --> 01:03:45.329
have at it. Oh, and also, Sabrina Carpenter and

01:03:45.329 --> 01:03:47.349
Olivia Rodrigo hugged, but that's completely

01:03:47.349 --> 01:03:48.829
off topic. Yeah, they hugged. That was what I

01:03:48.829 --> 01:03:52.429
needed. That was my... That's all I cared about.

01:03:53.110 --> 01:03:57.320
They were like... an inch closer, an inch closer

01:03:57.320 --> 01:04:00.500
to them having an album together. They had a...

01:04:00.500 --> 01:04:02.260
If they don't make an album called Sweet and

01:04:02.260 --> 01:04:05.440
Sour, it's not worth it. Literally. Did you see

01:04:05.440 --> 01:04:09.119
the... Sorry. No, wasn't that like Olivia Rodrigo's...

01:04:09.119 --> 01:04:12.340
Sour was her first album. Oh. And then Short

01:04:12.340 --> 01:04:17.460
and Sweet is her, yeah. But did you see the image

01:04:17.460 --> 01:04:19.880
of Chapel Row and Billie Eilish and Sabrina Carpenter?

01:04:20.670 --> 01:04:22.829
Yeah. All of them. They're the Powerpuff Girls.

01:04:23.090 --> 01:04:25.570
They are. And I love it. Oh my gosh, no, yeah,

01:04:25.710 --> 01:04:27.409
they are. They literally are the Powerpuff Girls.

01:04:27.489 --> 01:04:30.630
Colors too. Yeah, Chapel's Blossom, Sabrina is

01:04:30.630 --> 01:04:34.170
Bubbles, and then Buttercup is Billie Eilish.

01:04:34.190 --> 01:04:37.010
Oh my gosh. It is perfect, and I love them all.

01:04:38.150 --> 01:04:43.929
And then Olivia Rodrigo is like, I guess Mojo

01:04:43.929 --> 01:04:46.710
Jojo, but she's not a villain, but she's purple.

01:04:47.010 --> 01:04:51.119
That's her color. Yeah. Well, no, because there's

01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:53.139
a fourth Powerpuff Girls sister, like in a spinoff

01:04:53.139 --> 01:04:55.760
episode, I think. I don't remember. It's been

01:04:55.760 --> 01:04:59.579
forever. It could be her. She can be... I don't

01:04:59.579 --> 01:05:02.179
know. I love Olivia Rodrigo. I love Olivia Rodrigo.

01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:07.820
She's great. But yeah, no. I was very sad Billie

01:05:07.820 --> 01:05:11.559
Eilish didn't get any Grammys. She deserved Album

01:05:11.559 --> 01:05:14.340
of the Year. She deserved at least a single Grammy,

01:05:14.440 --> 01:05:15.960
and it should have been for Album of the Year.

01:05:17.300 --> 01:05:21.800
I... Listen, it's Beyonce. I get it. She's been

01:05:21.800 --> 01:05:25.820
in the industry for like 20 years. She's been

01:05:25.820 --> 01:05:28.420
in the industry for 20 years. Give it to somebody

01:05:28.420 --> 01:05:31.699
else. She's gotten her time. The thing is...

01:05:31.699 --> 01:05:34.699
I can name one song off that album. And we talked

01:05:34.699 --> 01:05:36.980
about this earlier. Beyonce's... This ain't Texas.

01:05:37.400 --> 01:05:43.179
Yeah, Beyonce's whole entire album got like 10

01:05:43.179 --> 01:05:47.030
% of what... The one of her songs. Yeah, one

01:05:47.030 --> 01:05:48.789
of her songs. Yeah, because Birds of a Feather

01:05:48.789 --> 01:05:51.989
has like one point something billion views. Billion

01:05:51.989 --> 01:05:56.489
listens. And I'm pretty sure Beyonce's entire

01:05:56.489 --> 01:05:59.650
album only has like close to half a million.

01:05:59.889 --> 01:06:03.849
Yeah, it's, I mean, it's the Scammies, we know.

01:06:04.309 --> 01:06:06.750
It's not the Grammys anymore. We know Jay -Z

01:06:06.750 --> 01:06:14.010
bought that. The theory is that whoever... pays

01:06:14.010 --> 01:06:19.550
more to like promote their music to the grammys

01:06:19.550 --> 01:06:23.769
is the one that wins yeah that was the old theory

01:06:23.769 --> 01:06:26.989
but now the new theory is that you can buy your

01:06:26.989 --> 01:06:30.590
slot and that's why people thought jay -z bought

01:06:30.590 --> 01:06:34.570
beyonce's slot and that's why beyonce and you

01:06:34.570 --> 01:06:38.550
saw her her daughter blue ivy was so shocked

01:06:38.550 --> 01:06:43.190
both of them shocked jay -z dead face He knew.

01:06:43.349 --> 01:06:48.889
He knew. He's either the most supportive husband

01:06:48.889 --> 01:06:53.409
or... Something happened. He bought that slot.

01:06:53.650 --> 01:06:56.789
Because, no, Beyonce was shocked. I remember

01:06:56.789 --> 01:07:00.010
seeing her reaction. She moved her entire body.

01:07:00.090 --> 01:07:03.550
Her hands went up. Her mouth on the floor. Yes.

01:07:04.349 --> 01:07:08.510
Blue Ivy as well. So I'm convinced that they

01:07:08.510 --> 01:07:15.510
might... Billie Eilish also cried. Yeah. Yeah.

01:07:15.690 --> 01:07:18.469
That was the one album she deserved to win a

01:07:18.469 --> 01:07:20.769
Grammy. Yeah, that was the one album that most

01:07:20.769 --> 01:07:23.289
people feel like she knew that she deserved something,

01:07:23.550 --> 01:07:26.869
at least. Because she poured her heart and soul

01:07:26.869 --> 01:07:30.309
into that one. Very disappointing that she didn't

01:07:30.309 --> 01:07:33.929
get any recognition. Taylor Swift also didn't

01:07:33.929 --> 01:07:37.929
win a Grammy. She's won enough. She has, but

01:07:37.929 --> 01:07:40.369
that... With everything coming out again, her

01:07:40.369 --> 01:07:44.309
tour. That's true, I guess. I am surprised that

01:07:44.309 --> 01:07:47.989
she didn't win one thing. And I understand that.

01:07:48.489 --> 01:07:52.349
What do you think she should have won? I don't

01:07:52.349 --> 01:07:54.849
know. I think everyone except Beyonce got their

01:07:54.849 --> 01:07:59.170
place. I think Olivia Rodrigo maybe should have

01:07:59.170 --> 01:08:01.030
won something. She should have. I mean, Guts

01:08:01.030 --> 01:08:03.449
was really good. Guts was good. But also, I feel

01:08:03.449 --> 01:08:06.070
like Guts was, I don't think it was 2024, was

01:08:06.070 --> 01:08:11.659
it? Oh, yeah, no. She didn't go for Guts. Guts

01:08:11.659 --> 01:08:14.980
came out. I don't think she's had any. Well,

01:08:15.099 --> 01:08:17.920
she had the Hunger Games song. That was what

01:08:17.920 --> 01:08:19.640
I think she went for the Grammys for because

01:08:19.640 --> 01:08:22.859
that was nominated for Record of the Year, which

01:08:22.859 --> 01:08:26.779
lost to Kendrick Lamar. But also it's Kendrick

01:08:26.779 --> 01:08:29.659
Lamar. I like him. I think it's so funny. I think

01:08:29.659 --> 01:08:31.939
it's really funny. I think it's so funny that

01:08:31.939 --> 01:08:34.789
Drake said, Kendrick dope is... Kendrick opened

01:08:34.789 --> 01:08:36.810
his mouth. Someone get him a Grammy. And then

01:08:36.810 --> 01:08:40.010
he won five. Did he win five? He won five Grammys.

01:08:40.069 --> 01:08:46.729
I was only awake for two. But I think that was

01:08:46.729 --> 01:08:52.250
a shocker. Did Miley Cyrus win country this year?

01:08:52.689 --> 01:08:55.050
Or was that last year? I remember seeing her

01:08:55.050 --> 01:08:56.829
speech. I don't remember what she won for, but

01:08:56.829 --> 01:09:00.430
I remember seeing her speech. Yeah, it was best

01:09:00.430 --> 01:09:03.850
country duo slash group performance winner. Beyonce

01:09:03.850 --> 01:09:11.390
featuring Miley Cyrus. Well, there's that. Beyonce

01:09:11.390 --> 01:09:16.430
won again. Yeah, because people listened to that

01:09:16.430 --> 01:09:20.789
album, I guess. Maybe like Millennial and Boomers.

01:09:21.289 --> 01:09:28.090
I get it. It's Beyonce. I'm not mad. I'm disappointed

01:09:28.090 --> 01:09:31.390
that Billie didn't get anything. I'm just disappointed.

01:09:32.200 --> 01:09:33.960
I'm just disappointed that Billie didn't win

01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:35.899
Album of the Year. Yeah. She probably should

01:09:35.899 --> 01:09:37.640
have won that. She should have won Album of the

01:09:37.640 --> 01:09:41.460
Year. All right. Well, I think that's probably

01:09:41.460 --> 01:09:45.100
it. Yeah. You know, it's getting a little late.

01:09:45.140 --> 01:09:46.340
It is getting dark out. The sun is going down.

01:09:47.140 --> 01:09:50.079
But, guys, the time that you will be listening
