Starting point is 00:03:56 uh and this we did a holiday one and now we're doing a winter themed one because we're too dumb to come up with another one another idea days to come up with an idea and we decided on winter so enjoy that one um yeah but uh what's our what about our episode today shall we get into that you came up with the just ridiculous theme of government buildings in hawaii which i don't still totally understand where you came up with that because when we were in hawaii that one time and we were like sitting outside of the capitol building the hawaiian capitol building yes i remember that yeah that's what i think of when i think of hawaii oh i think about pearl harbor and the time that i was stalking that
Starting point is 00:04:41 young child oh but i thought you meant like you think about the event, not us visiting. Like, okay. I think about D-Day. Okay, next. Next, we are doing that. Alexander, what was your challenge? My challenge was from Brooke, they, them, also known as Narwhals Exist. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:58 And I wrote all of that down because it was all very important information. Find a review of a product made for, they said dogs, but I just did. Okay, you'll see. Made for dogs that they bought for something else. Amazing. Yes. The end. The end.
Starting point is 00:05:17 How many, how do you, do you want to go first? Do you want me to go first? I only have like three. Okay, I'll go first. So this is a two-star review of the hawaii state capital by mike saved the worst for last we just returned from honolulu which we went to visit the last u.s state capital building on our list we have now visited all 50 state capital buildings unfortunately we were very disappointed with this capital building to say the least it is not well maintained and there is nothing special about it in any physical
Starting point is 00:05:49 way. However, we have to say that the people who work there are just about as friendly as any of them. One strange thing, I asked three different people who work there, why did you folks suspend tours of the capitol? The answer flooredored us the reason was that the guide who gave tours died a few months ago what i asked several people because we had trouble believing it end of review what did they think that like what could and they just oh my god okay okay i love the notion that they asked somebody that they didn't believe it so then they asked somebody else thinking like oh that person must have just been yeah lying somebody died were you close with them oh what about you what about you what about you
Starting point is 00:06:37 where were you on the night of the 15th um but i i the thing is though like i can't really criticize this person for giving it two stars because they must be a fucking expert on capital buildings by now 50 of them wouldn't there be 51 because of like the nation's capital like in dc well i was gonna say there was that picture they finally visited the 51st because there's that picture of them in nancy pelosi's office um holding a swastika you will imagine that was it they finally made it to their final destination they said see this is what we wanted out of a capital what if they had no idea that was going on that day and they were like oh oh we we booked our flight we're gonna go on this day to go see the capital building we're in luck they're letting us in this is so they're
Starting point is 00:07:25 having a parade this is so unlike the whole the capital in honolulu where they wouldn't even give us a tour now i can get do a self-guided tour but people are dying just like that tour guide who died uh months before his ghost haunts the hawaiian capitol building i just love that like months ago the apparently only tour guide died and now they're just like sol like well i don't know what to do we don't do tours and it's not because they could have said something like we're waiting to hire a new tour guide or something but no they just he died the end period they have all the same story all three yes that's that's at least they're consistent with their with their lies i also love that no no not one employee was like you know i'm not sure
Starting point is 00:08:12 actually it's like everybody knows that this guy died and that's why the tours have suspended anyway something about that was yeah it makes it sound like an urban legend or something his ghost haunts floors oh my god we haven't had tours here in years exactly oh my gosh um my first one is of the hawaii state capital as well this is also a two-star review unless someone is making money off you, Hawaiians are amazingly rude. Amazing islands highly recommend that everyone goes. Would be a better place without the natives. End of review.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Oh my god! Could you imagine feeling that way? A better place without the natives? How do you even not hear yourself when you say something like that i don't know that just had a chill through my spine it's wild right like that is looney tunes that you would say something like that no i would with a straight face i thought that people like you'd get more of the opposite of like you know because they're probably sick of fucking tourists like this like this fella i like how he's like they're probably sick of fucking tourists. Yeah. Like this fella.
Starting point is 00:09:25 I like how he's like, they're so rude, we should exterminate all of them. It's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That took a turn. Maybe they got a vibe from you. Maybe they got a little bit of an aura that you weren't maybe the most welcoming, kind individual. And they didn't really want to be polite to you. Didn't really want to be polite to you. The next place I have on my list, by the way, is the Ayalani Palace.
Starting point is 00:09:49 No. Honolulu. No? Yolani? There's no an A-L-I beforehand? No. Is the address 417 South King Street? Oxenher, I didn't memorize the address. Okay, because I believe it's Ali-yo-lani-hali.
Starting point is 00:10:04 What are you talking about? i'm sending you the link that i have you can click it and tell me what you see okay because that's what i see okay okay are you happy now no eolani palace which is the royal palace the royal residence in honolulu don't listen to alexander he i'm sorry thinks that it's better when he does it himself it's a different it is a different building okay iolani palace one star by valerie on the day of my visit to the palace i got the message it is closed due to bees end of review that's alarming oh there was somebody else who posted it and copy and pasted the email they got which was literally it is closed due to bees a swarm of bees like they're keeping you safe here don't complain about that it's like oh my god but i love that multiple people experience this
Starting point is 00:11:01 exact thing i'm happy for the bees that the bees are being respected you know finally taking over yeah all right i've got um one more only no i don't sorry i've only done one i have two more i was like that was fast oh people were so upset okay this is of honolulu city hall this is a uh one star review nice building too bad a bunch of socialist losers work there end of review i don't get it it's hawaii leave them alone i don't either i don't know you already attacked fucking dc that makes more logical sense to me than like harassing hawaiians i don't get it either. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:46 I don't know. Did it say they, wait, a bunch of socialists do what there? Socialist losers work there. I thought it said they live there. And I was like, wow, they really don't understand. They're talking about Hawaiian politicians, apparently. I don't know. This is.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Classic socialists, famously so. I don't think this person knows what socialism is. They seem pretty intelligent to me. I have another review of the Iolani Palace in Honolulu. This is a one-star review by John. Oh God, this sounds so stupid. Iolani Palace was beautiful, but the workers were not helpful or friendly. Even got a ticket for parking inside the palace.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Sorry. Even got a ticket for parking inside the palace. Employees saw us park and didn't even say anything. Note, only park where there are meters. End of review. Because the employees were like, this is... Ducking for cover. Yeah, they're calling the authorities.
Starting point is 00:12:51 They shouldn't have to deal with that. I don't know what they meant. I assume they meant something different. But the way it was phrased as we parked inside the palace just got me so good. Like, I'm picturing like it's a pretty narrow entryway. And normally there's like a divider but they had to take it down for some reason so this person in their car was like oh that means that car's gonna go through because my car technically fits and just like nobody told me
Starting point is 00:13:14 not to chilling by the big fountain in the middle of the courtyard or something i don't know i'm picturing something all the socialists are scattering and fleeing. Oh, it's just beautiful. I love that they're like, the employees saw me and didn't say anything. Like, yeah, no shit. They probably thought you were terrorizing the building. Well, that's so true, though. Like, I used to work at my last job where I used to work.
Starting point is 00:13:40 We had reserved parking spots. And sometimes I'd see a car there. And my first thought was always like, okay, if you're bold enough to park somewhere where it's very clear you're not supposed to park, you might be someone important. Sure. So that would be my first thought working there. I'd be like, oh shit, someone important is parking because they're parking in the palace.
Starting point is 00:13:57 The queen of Hawaii is here in her Honda. Watch out, everybody. Make way. Oh my God. Yeah, that is the ultimate reserved parking spot i guess um okay do you have another one i do have one more yeah this is a five-star review of um and like i'm probably still butchering it but i did watch a pronunciation video that's why i was so adamant to correct you i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i didn't realize it was a separate building uh ali yo okay hold on ali yolani holly which is the chief means chief unto the heavens and it is located in down a building located in downtown honolulu currently
Starting point is 00:14:41 used as the home of the hawaii state supreme court and most importantly uh it's the headquarters of the hawaii 5-0 task force from the show hawaii so here's a five star review oh i love that building it's 5-0 center and i hope there's more to 5-0 i'm from belize and i love watching 5-0 end of review oh that's the most beautiful heartwarming review ever no it was their only review too how amazing oh my god it's like they came all the way here and got to see the 5-0 the very same 5-0 building that's's wonderful. Isn't that so sweet? Yes. That just makes my heart really happy.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Me too, me too. Okay, that was your last one, yeah? It was. Okay, I have a few more here. Good. This one is another review of the Iolani Palace, Honolulu. Famously not the home of Hawaii 5-0.
Starting point is 00:15:43 So, this is a one of Hawaii Five-0. So, this is a one-star review by Joe. I gave this one star based on the palace itself, the price, and the guided tour that we got. If you have ever been to a proper palace, for example, La Louvre, do not bother even considering...
Starting point is 00:16:00 That's not a palace. It is, apparently. I looked it up. Oh, no. It's considered a palace it is apparently i looked it up oh no yeah alexander i tried it's considered a palace it was a palace and then they converted most of it into the museum i look okay but it's not okay what it is it's it's separate okay there's a palace and then part of the building was used for the museum and they expanded the museum but there is a palace that it was originally why are you defending this part did you write this review why are you so adamant to because i've been there and i've every right i've seen the da vinci code so i know all about the da vinci code oh did you know that da vinci
Starting point is 00:16:43 code was one of the only books that actually like scared me while i was reading it oh yeah me too silas the whole silas character freaked me out that's what it was it was like the demonic stuff and the silas i watched the movie again recently and i was like wow this is not as i thought i liked this movie it was awful really i did not like it i definitely saw the movie i don't remember but the book was pretty good i like the book people hate on it all the time we hate on dan brown on here like we make for some reason yeah we've brought up dan brown like 30 times since we started for some reason okay by we i mean me probably but yeah no i like that book a lot okay this is a uh anyway a review by joe oh right we already started wait i was gonna say is that over
Starting point is 00:17:27 no certainly not la louvre okay which it was is a palace if you have ever been to a proper palace for example la louvre do not bother even considering this place it will be a major disappointment and waste of time and money firstly the palace looks way bigger from the outside. It's actually quite small on the inside. It is also way overpriced. The tour guide came across as extremely ignorant and arrogant. During the tour, he felt the need to insult other countries' royalty in some strange attempt to make the former Hawaiian royalty more impressive, as if it's a competition in the first place. He also made some questionable claims about the palace, such if it's a competition in the first place. He also made some questionable
Starting point is 00:18:05 claims about the palace, such as it being the most technologically advanced palace of its time. Now, I am no historian, but he made many claims like this which were extremely questionable. Also, the palace itself is only about 300 years old. I am not an American and can appreciate the fact that the American concept of what is considered old or ancient is extremely different to what European counterparts think. For example, the university I went to is over two times older than this place. If your concept of what is old is actually very old, then this place will be a further disappointment as it is simply a modern palace, not a historical one. My advice, if you happen to pass this palace stop by and take photos from the outside don't pay to go in end of review that was fucking awful
Starting point is 00:18:50 what the hell i wish they said what university they went to because i feel like it's cornell but it can't be because that's definitely not 200 years older but it just seems like what someone from cornell would say in all popular culture i just don't i don't get it why why why why it's exhausting to be like that it must be exhausting why are you even going to hawaii not for the history apparently why are you going to hawaii if you're going to sit there the whole time and go it's not as old as everything in europe saying it's yeah why are it's just ridiculous and then also saying i'm no historian while criticizing this tour guide and saying this tour guide's wrong
Starting point is 00:19:31 but saying arrogant by the way arrogant oh my the nerve that's so i know i was like really horrified by this one especially when they specified the louvre which i was like okay big whoop like everyone who's gone to france has been to the the big giant art museum there okay it's not that impressive like if you were like just like the palace in my quaint hometown where my uncle resides or some shit okay but yeah the louvre really that's your fucking point of reference i don't know maybe they oh no they said they're not american i was like maybe they studied abroad and they suddenly have this like huge that would be hilarious i spent six months at oxford and then they have that weird fake accent that just suddenly appears in their lingo oh i knew someone like that who like faked
Starting point is 00:20:18 an accent oh lordy um what is that okay i don't know i don't know anyway i didn't like that is that your last one? No, I have a redemption. Oh, thank God. Because that was not one I wanted to end on. No, me neither. This is a redemption, I think. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:20:34 No, it's not. It's a one star. I have a redemption after that. Oh, okay. Sorry. I feel bad I didn't bring that many to the table. No, but you had the challenge. I feel like it's different if you have the challenge. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:45 So, this is a review of the Honolulu Courthouse. One star by Sergio. Also, like, I need help understanding this one, which I know, like, is always a lost cause, but I just want to point out
Starting point is 00:20:56 right here and right now that I don't really get it. Okay. Okay. If you ever get summoned for jury duty, just toss it in the trash, which I don't really do, but know of people who get away with it,
Starting point is 00:21:08 because it will save you a lot of wasted time. This was my third time going. They cram everyone in a room and you do nothing but wait, wait, and more waiting around. If you're highly educated and or give the lawyers some fast answers, you just wasted a couple days of your life because they won't want you in that jury box either. But if you play your cards right, like every lawyer,
Starting point is 00:21:31 and want to get paid for your time, just sit there and look dumb as a rock. Voila. Okay, here's the thing. How is voila spelled? W-A-L-L-A. I love that. Like, wala wala.
Starting point is 00:21:48 I googled wala Hawaiian phrase. Because you thought they were, oh no. I'm glad you did that because otherwise we would have gotten shit if you hadn't. I didn't even realize that it was trying to say wala. And so I read wala and I was i was like oh i wonder if that's like a local no oh no christina one more line voila voila you're in and paid now get the job done right end of review okay okay i know you want a clarification i don't think i can offer any because i can't tell if they want jury duty or don't want jury duty i don't know i'm baffled
Starting point is 00:22:24 and i don't know what I want anymore. I thought I knew going in. I thought he was going to guide me. I know. I expected that. Like, I thought at the end I'd be like, voila, I know what I want to do. Voila, voila. I get it now.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Yeah. He said, put it in the trash. But I don't put it in the trash. But I know some people do put it in the trash. And it works. And it works. And it works. So you should put it in the trash. And then when you go, give the lawyers some fast answers and make sure you're highly educated.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Which he said, if you're highly educated, Y-O-U-R. So if you're highly educated, then they won't want you in the jury box. But if you play your cards right. Play your cards right. So you want to be there. As if you want to get in get in there yeah because you want to get paid for your time yeah which i don't i mean i don't know about hawaii but blaze was on jury duty in la and it certainly didn't pay very much yeah i mean i get it like it pays something it pays like it doesn't count as jury duty when you're the one being prosecuted though why did you say that okay because he got a payout he got like a settlement of like 200 just kidding
Starting point is 00:23:30 we call it jury duty wink wink wink wink i mean i had to give an explanation as to why we moved so quickly out of california why you fled the state to kentucky where all felons move um yeah it's just weird and he's like now get the job done right and i'm like what are you talking about i thought you threw it all in the trash can anyway but it's a one star so it's just very baffling to me so that's i want this person on my jury that's all i know i do too i think he wouldn't he would know how to smooth talk my innocence because that's yep yep you know yep that's the same vibe i was getting also um i just love that it was also a one star because he's like anyway none of that is it also doesn't make sense like you're still it doesn't clear anything up he's like i've solved the puzzle but i still don't approve of any of it okay so now i finally
Starting point is 00:24:30 have a redemption this was sent in by becca who says i believe we've gotten emails from becca before actually uh so becca says my favorite was this redemption of the h1 freeway west which is a hawaiian interstate uh that's so i know i hadn't thought of that building but i know it's a hawaiian structure or a government structure yeah the way we do it we yeah it's closer than like if i had just gone on my own and decided what was a building exactly um so here it is this is a five-star review of the H1 Freeway West Hawaiian Interstate by Mikey. Nobody gonna take my car. I'm gonna race it to the ground. Nobody gonna beat my car. It's gonna break the speed of sound. Oh yeah, I read the other reviews and I understand why people complain
Starting point is 00:25:21 about this freeway. Peeps that use a freeway every day have lots of valid complaints. But you ain't gonna hear any bellyaching from me. I straight up love this damn freeway. To explain, I'm gonna have to let you in on a little secret. I was born without a sense of direction. I mean, like zero. None. I get lost coming back to bed when I get up to pee at night.
Starting point is 00:25:40 As if having no sense of direction wasn't enough, I also can't judge distances. GPS barely helps. One block after hearing the voice direction say turn left in one mile, I invariably think it's time to turn, and maybe I'll end up turning left, maybe not. Consequently, I get lost a lot. Way, way lost. And that's why the H1 freeway is five stars for me. It's almost impossible to get very lost.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Even if you go in the wrong direction. Yes, I've done it. Even on the H1. It's easy to recover. The furthest wrong way you can go is like 30 or 40 minutes before you run out of freeway. And that's pretty cool for directionally impaired fools like me. Despite its obvious and well-noted shortcomings, this freeway gets five stars from Mikey. Mikey C says, two reviews in one day i'm like a goddamn
Starting point is 00:26:26 stephen king over here and i love mikey i know me too like he gets me we need more reviewers like mikey yeah i was like this is this sounds like you no sense of direction i did actually get lost uh going to the bathroom my house after we moved i mean we had just moved in yeah but i still did get lost about a weekend in my own house which is very embarrassing that is quite that is impressive thank you um yeah so i was like this would have helped me a lot in high school because there are a lot of like with you know the norwood lateral and then all these things that connect highways two highways two major highways in our city alexander yeah but there's the thing that connects i don't get it i mean that's not lateral you don't get it no i don't
Starting point is 00:27:11 even understand what it is it connects 71 and 75 the two highways that both go okay i don't know why they need to be connected but anyway um we literally used it i know all the time and you're like i don't know why it needs to be connected i mean i get that i had to use it but i mean i don't okay it doesn't matter anyway it seems like the h1 is really uh beneficial for people like me and mikey yeah you should you should you should move to hawaii you should replace those natives i've been looking those natives. I've been looking for, Oh God. I've been looking for an excuse and finally it's here. You didn't have that excuse when blaze was getting in big trouble.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Yeah. Hawaii was a little too close. We were like, we need to go somewhere. No one will expect us to go. time for my challenge yay so again this is from brooke uh and it was to find a review of a product made for dogs that was um bought for something else so like another pet or something um i did my best with that it wasn't always it wasn't always dog it wasn't always easy it wasn't um but the first one i have is uh actually an email uh this is from uh sheila she her sheila sheifer sheila sheifer she her um one of us needs to name our child sheila that's great uh and sheila sent in a
Starting point is 00:28:48 product and it is the product is do cat go i don't know how to say that pet grooming tool undercoat rake blah blah blah removing it's like removing pet hair removing what fur sorry it's like for fur you like homer this is a one-star review by abigail not for a rabbit i would not buy this for a rabbit it does not work at all end of review i would not buy this for a cat i would not buy this for my hat does that not sound like a freaking dr seuss thing i do not like it, Sam I am. Oh man, that's wonderful. I like that she's like, I wouldn't buy it for a rabbit. I mean, I did buy it for a rabbit,
Starting point is 00:29:33 but I wouldn't do it again. My next rabbit is getting something else. Okay. I kind of want a rabbit, by the way. I love rabbits. I think that's a great idea. I would love if you got a rabbit. I would play rabbit, by the way. I love rabbits. I think that's a great idea. Yeah, because I want to... I would love if you got a rabbit. I would play with it all the time.
Starting point is 00:29:48 My next review, this is of the Nostalgia Coca-Cola Series 3.2 cubic foot refrigerator with freezer compartment. So it's like a mini fridge that's like a Coca-Cola style. Meant for dogs? No. So that's the thing is like i did like meant for pets like or something that you'll see for humans okay no this one was meant for humans but you'll see okay okay okay this is a five-star review verified purchase i bought a refrigerator for my iguana now there's something i never thought I'd have to say. I bought this to
Starting point is 00:30:25 free up some space in my regular refrigerator. I have an iguana and almost half my fridge was filled with her greens and vegetables. Iguanas eat a lot. So I finally got smart and bought her her own refrigerator. It's kept in the living room next to her enclosure. So I wanted something that is not only functional, but looks great too. I have it on a low setting and it keeps everything cold and fresh. It's extremely quiet, I really can't hear it at all. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have an interior light, but that isn't really a problem because I only need to use it in the daytime anyway. The first one they sent me was damaged during shipping and it had a large dent in the rear
Starting point is 00:31:00 corner. Called Amazon as soon as I unpacked it and they sent me a replacement immediately they also arranged for the ups driver to pick up the broken one when he delivered the new one i didn't have to do a thing i love amazon end of review oh my god alexander this was the sweetest thing i've ever heard i i'm a little sad it got so far away from the whole iguana yeah but um yeah apparently it did that job well enough that they had to talk about other stuff. I love that he says it didn't need a light because I only use it in the day. I'm like, but what if iguana has midnight snacks? So true.
Starting point is 00:31:35 What if midnight iguana is hungry? Do they have sea vision and dark? Christina, are you okay? No. Do you want me to just take it from here? You can just turn your mic off. I'm going to take a nap. Sea vision and dark? Is that what you okay? No. Do you want me to just take it from here? You can just turn your mic off. I'm going to take a nap. See vision in dark?
Starting point is 00:31:47 Is that what you said? Oh, no. Is there an iguana expert out there who can tell us if they have see vision in dark? We actually have a new poster coming out on our merch store. It just says see vision in dark, and it's a picture of an iguana. It's a sunset. It's a sunset. it's a inspirational inspirational poster hunter get on it um i'm just kidding i'm just like not again i already did one all right um this next one is uh of i fetch frenzy is of iFetchFrenzy.
Starting point is 00:32:28 It is a thing that, like, throws tennis balls for dogs. Yeah, I sort of already envisioned it. It's like an automatic thing. And this is from the Q&A. So the question was, how does it throw the ball or just roll it out the bottom? And here is an answer.
Starting point is 00:32:46 This has three holes at the base. Once the pup puts the ball back in the top, it flies out of one of the three holes at the bottom. Because of its design, you don't know which hole it's going to go out. LOL, I actually bought this for my cats. One fetches. She has a hard time getting the ball in because she has a small mouth but i put them back she's a cat i know i love that but i put them back in as they two cats go crazy over the balls i also bought one for my grandma's
Starting point is 00:33:17 dogs they are small and they love it we have to actually put the thing in the hall closet because they will go nuts wanting to play and wear themselves out. LOL, I have enjoyed it. However, I purchased the Go Dog Go toy for my three big girls outside and it actually throws the ball. Unfortunately, it scared my bloodhounds so much they all run towards the fence when I turn it on. My nephew is learning to catch pop-ups though. LOL, I'm working with the dogs daily to get them to come around to it one day at a time i hope this is helpful take care smiley face end of response i wish i were this person's neighbor it seems like there's always
Starting point is 00:33:57 some fun happening i want to be this person's nephew at their house yeah i'm really into all of this the bloodhounds the big girl bloodhounds the kitty cats who have their own fetch game to play wasn't it great and i love how the question was simply does it throw it or just roll it and they wrote that like my nephew plays little league it's like wait i didn't ask about above and beyond and i am happy that they did i don't know how they find the time with all these animals having to play different sports and they're like oh here i need to take a break to answer you can't call their nephew an animal christina why i've heard that he's really good
Starting point is 00:34:37 at baseball animal on the baseball field yes that's what i've heard okay okay oh this is creepy okay i feel like geo would love that until it threw itself and then he would go grab it and then sit there and i'd be like no you have to go put it in the thing and he would not do that part he would just it's like when he plays regular fish he doesn't bring it back he does not bring it back he just holds on to it and choose it and just sometimes brings it back and waits for you to it and choose it and just sometimes brings it back and waits for you to come get it again and then you go up to him and then he like or he just runs away with it yeah and he likes to play chase do you want me to throw it okay i miss him i miss that's why i'm buying it for my cat perfect which one um we'll see okay which
Starting point is 00:35:23 one's less scared of it perfect okay this is one more i've got one more this is of the ub8 piece children play tent and tunnel indoor and outdoor child pop-up tent with tunnels playhouse oh yeah it's a five-star review cats love it i actually bought this for my cats i did not realize it was so big and for children however i have it set up in bought this for my cats. I did not realize it was so big and for children. However, I have it set up in my garage and my cats go crazy in it. They love it. End of review. See more animals.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Baby animals and cat animals. Can you imagine you order this thing for your cat? It's like a giant like playhouse thing. Lucky cat. That's in her. Moony has a little one, like a little tunnel, and he's obsessed with it. Like he'll dive into it and like hide in it and slide in it.
Starting point is 00:36:11 But it's so little. I never thought about getting a human-sized one for him to play in. Is he going to outgrow it and then he's going to get stuck in there? I don't even think he's going to outgrow it. I think I'm just now obsessed with the idea of getting like a larger-than-life playhouse for him. You should. You should just dedicate an entire room to his playhouse.
Starting point is 00:36:30 It's like the hamster. Yeah. You know what I mean? The tubes. Like the gerbil tubes. You just gerbil and you set up a whole room with it. Okay. I saw something on Pinterest where you put little shelves along the wall and so cats
Starting point is 00:36:44 can climb up it and then you put a little bed or something along the wall and so cats can climb up it. And then you put like a little bed or something at the top so they can go up and lay down and climb the walls. It's so cute. I almost bought one for you for Christmas. Like for you and Blaze, a wall cat like thing on Etsy. But I couldn't find a good one that like, yeah, it was surprising. That was like one of my top gift ideas and I couldn't find a good one that like yeah it was it was surprising that was like one of my top gift ideas and i couldn't find a good one don't spoil it now well i'm not buying i didn't buy it i bought something else but i want you to buy it for my birthday it's coming

That's it. That was the end of my challenge. That was good. I enjoyed that, Brooke. That was fun. Like Brooke said that they gave it to us for happy chemicals and it worked. Yeah. It worked for me. I needed a little bit of serotonin thinking about cats playing fetch. So I really appreciate it yeah there was there was nothing really like negative that i found when trying to find these which was great um i mean that that rabbit one was that was technically negative but that was from sheila sheila's a negative one not me sheila's always so negative um anyway so thank you everybody for listening

So, uh, bonus if you find reviews mentioning those giant turkey legs all right sam awesome i'm very excited about this this is a very specific theme um that i feel like it'll still be pretty easy to find reviews of it's something that i think can be enjoyable for everyone but we'll also hit that niche of people who like really love renaissance fairs ren fair ren fair i've never been to one what really really the closest i've been was to um jp steven and i in vegas went to that uh the jousting place yeah that dinner show and it was hilarious because we i don't know if i mentioned this in the episode yet but
Starting point is 00:38:59 we were led to our seats as it was starting and they were doing like a call and response kind of thing. And person who was like hyping up the crowd noticed us that we weren't doing the response. So he was like pointed literally us three spotlight on us and was like, you three have to do it alone now. We had to like, yeah, like everyone watching. It was it was a nightmare. But we got so into this show like we were rooting for like the dragon knight or whatever and we're like who's like the bad guy save it for the renfrew episode and we were like 100 sober too i'm pretty sure um i think that was
Starting point is 00:39:37 before guy fieri's giant fish bowl of alcohol that we drank oh i see you didn't even have mead no no bummer uh what's my challenge your challenge comes courtesy of samantha hi she for sips i recently found out this is the best email i have to read it uh i recently found out that my family has a weird habit of solely naming children from things or places they enjoy and i thought that a good challenge could be reviews where the reviewer mentions that they're named after the reviewee so here's an example i am from samantha i am named after my dad's favorite gun manufacturer parentheses we're from kentucky but i have left reviews on the samuel colt armory about my displeasure regarding guns oh Oh my God. Oh my God. That is not what dad intended. Okay. But we love it.
Starting point is 00:40:28 That's not what dad intended. And then here, you'll like this one. My sister is named Christine after my dad's favorite Stephen King novel. And she likes to buy and leave reviews on Christine books and products. That makes me so happy because I love that reference. And a lot of people don't get it. That's one of my favorite references.
Starting point is 00:40:46 I love that I'm named not intentionally, but love that I'm named after a Stephen King character. And then Samantha says, if you use it, enjoy. If you don't use it, I still love you guys and appreciate all the work you do for my entertainment. Samantha, we appreciate you giving us entertainment this week. So I have to find for this one reviews where they say like oh i was named after this product or like place or whatever like yeah i what was the name of that fetch thing again i'm sure that i'm sure there's one or two of those in there all right thanks sandy thanks everybody samantha and sam um and
