Hello, everybody! it's time for Hit me, wake your ass up, it's Cax and Crandor in the morning!

Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me, Cax and Crandor in the morning! Hello everybody, welcome to an exciting episode of Cax and Crandor in the morning! Whoa! What was that? I don't know. Wow! Whoa! That was like the start of a Christopher Walken impression.

Whoa! Whoa! That was two bad Christopher Walken impressions right there. That's what I can do is I can do bad Christopher Walken impressions. Whoa. Whoa, it's me, Christopher Walken. This is the best I've got. It just sounds like you doing Nicolas Cage doing Christopher Walken It's me, Nicolas Cage

Whoa. I've got to go pick up Sandy. We've got to go get in our car and drive away. All right. Well. Yes. How's it going? It's going great.

Have you ever been to Italy? Italy? No. Italy? No. So there's a place, I assume at many malls around this great nation of ours, but especially in LA because that's how we live. Right. The mall that we love to go to, that weird-ass mall, there's a place inside called Italy. And it is a three-story, multi-leveled, Italian restaurant place.

There's like eight restaurants up in there. All of them serve different Italian food. You can go get like pizza and paschetti and all sorts of stuff. And then there's like coffee, but there's also a store that sells books, wine, and Italian foods, and all sorts of other crap. It was crazy. I've never been because I'm not posh and cool like my parents. My parents were like, for your father's birthday

we're going to go to Italy. It was great. That was a ton of fun. It was like Ikea but for Italian food. Interesting. Yeah, it was huge. It was a bunch of tourists walking around and everyone was like, oh, I'll have this. I got a like a

clam thing. That was good. I got like a clam thing and then i got a uh a like like a clam thing wow that was good i got like a clam thing and then i got the uh a chocolate mousse thing and i was like oh and i got a latte and i felt good huh there's uh so it's called eat ollie yes yes italy it looks like there's one in la boston nyc and chicago oh my god oh oh see i could go to italy you could you could travel to italy i would love to hear the report of that i bet that'd be a treat i probably would i kind of try this out i like trying the italy's yeah well i mean if you forget we'll just go in march yeah that sounds good if you forget we'll just probably will. But what I did forget about is Popeyes. I didn't either. So I'm excited to talk to you about this because last week, this is one of the few times we've done something and stuck to it.

It is. It's very true. And I'm very pleased with us. This is important. This is a big goal for us. This is a big goal. By the way, I actually filmed my initial reaction. Is it online?

It's not online yet, but I'm going to upload it literally after this so that everybody can go to it tomorrow or today. Oh, my God. I'm very excited to see this. I did it in like a review bra style at the start. A little bit there. He's like, hello, everyone. This is my food review. It was very good.

So, yeah, it's on the old YouTube.com slash. Wow. Crandor'll be going up there. Get ready for a once in a lifetime experience of watching me eat a sandwich. Your video, or not video, your tweet was fascinating. It's what inspired me and

reminded me to go out and get it because you hyped this up. You hyped this sandwich up more than I think any tweet I saw online. Yeah, I ate the sandwich. I loved it. And I went to the gym. And I literally went to the gym like 15 minutes after eating the sandwich. Maybe even 10.

And I had probably one of the best workouts I've ever had. I was like, I felt sore all over at like the next day. But like I had so much energy from eating that Popeye's saying, which that was like, and I just, I went all out is, is crazy. What,

what, what, first off, which sandwiches you get? I got the spicy one. And then the next day I got the normal one. What? You went back.

Oh my God. I gotta go back. I gotta go back. And honestly, the spicy is better. Here's the thing. That's what I heard. That's why I got the spicy one.

Yeah, it was better. I definitely recommend the spicy. So here's my thing. That's what I heard. That's why I got the spicy one. Yeah, it was better. I definitely recommend the spicy. So here's my thoughts. Okay. I don't know what magic power is in this chicken sandwich. Yeah. I don't know if it's pure joy and love or if it is like crack cocaine.

I don't know what's in this thing. But what I do know is that I very very very much enjoyed it. But it's no different or better than I'd say a Chick-fil-A sandwich. Yeah, I kind of agree with that. It just has a little more of a crunch, I guess. And like a sauce on it. But

other than that, I was like I mean, it's good. I don't know that I'd go out of my way and wait another 35 minutes to get one. Yeah, well. But with that said, I, too, had like a second wind on life. I ate that sandwich and was like, I got to get stuff done today. I got to go do things.

I'm going to let you know, worrisome. I'm not sure why that is. I've never experienced anything like that. I was like, oh, I gotta get stuff done today. Again, I don't know what's in that sandwich, but we both have the exact same reaction. I don't know that I'd say that, like, wow, what a revelatory

sandwich. Like, mmm, it changed my life. But I will say, it made me want to get very active and do things. And that, I don't know what's in that sandwich, but I was like, ooh, them spices got me. Maybe it's just the fact that it's like a lot of protein. Maybe. I don't know.

But yeah, what did you say in your video? Give us a hint. I mean, so I did my initial like, hello, everyone. And then, you know, I opened the sandwich. I have my initial first bite i take a few more bites i show off the sandwich a little bit and then i give my impression you know that's that's what you're getting from this i think six to seven minute video uh-huh and uh give us a hint of your impression like what'd you when you bit into it what'd you say like talk to me i didn't say anything when i bit into it? What'd you say like talk to me? I didn't say anything when I bit into it. You just see the expressions on my face and you see

You know like how I'm chewing this I'm like, you know what? It's a pretty good sandwich. It was better than I thought you know the more the more I chewed the more bites I took the more I was like every bite is just it's a good bite Sometimes you get a bite and it's like, you know, it's like, oh, that's a bad bite. But this sandwich, every bite was a good bite. Well, okay. I mean, I'm glad we both got those sandwiches. I'm glad we both enjoyed, it seems like.

I would say wait until the fever dies down before you jump in and try to get one. Yeah. Because it's not, like, life-changing. But it will somehow power you to change your life. I want to put that out there. It will give you the drive you need to go out. And I'm going to say take on the day. I definitely agree with that.

It's definitely worth a try. And will you get superpowers? Possibly. Yeah. Is it filled with radiation gamma rays? Maybe. Yeah. If a spider bites you while you're eating one, will you become Spider-Man?

Maybe. It's quite possible. You never know with that type of stuff. Yeah, you don't know. All I know is I had a great workout after. That's all I know. Man. Wow, look at us.

Yeah. So what else is going on? What happened with you? I feel like I was just, the Popeyes was such a big thing. It was such a big part of your week. Like, I don't. Oh, yeah. I don't remember where I was.

What? I don't. Great. Great start to this story. But all I know is this person said she comes into my room with fucking wire cutters and a box of matches. What? What?

She said she comes in my room with fucking wire cutters and a box of matches that's it i don't know the reference i just heard them say that and i knew they were in a group of friends i that sounds like you post those things that's where it was i went out with my friend to eat and then i heard them at the bar but then it was too loud to hear anything else it sounds like one of those one sentence horror stories it kind of does yeah right it's very weird but the implications are out of control i don't know what that means yeah i mean it sounded like uh she had some crazy shit going on but at the same time i think it was just her friend being goofy so i don't know it could have been something like it was either very serious or very not

serious but i feel like it wasn't as serious serious because she brought it up at a bar with her friends. Friends being goofy always leads down the old wire cutter matches route. Yeah, so that's the only thing I wrote down. That's all you wrote down this week. Yeah. Man, you're living the best life. I, uh, man, this week, the most exciting thing, I worked all week like crazy trying to get stuff done. I, uh, I will say one of the wildest things that happened this week is I was out at the post office and this guy was like banging on his P.O. box, like banging on it.

He's like, there's a package stuck in there and I can't get the package. And they're like, sir, well, if you, if you, sir, if you keep pulling, it's going to keep getting, so you're going to break the package, sir. And he's like, God damn, I can't get the package. He's like trying to pull it open and he's rattling the entire wall. And so all these other packages, you can hear them shaking. And the guy's like, sir, you're going to need to stop so I can get it for you. And I'll bring it out to you.

And he's like, I want you to touch my package. And of course, I had like a little laugh because I was like, he doesn't want to touch this package. And then I like went in, did all my mail stuff, came back out. He was sitting there waiting for the guy. And he's like, look what they made me do. They made me wait. And I looked at him and I looked around. I was like, is he talking to me?

And I was like, yeah, you know, the post office, they make you wait. The window opened and the guy appeared and he was like, don't talk shit on the U.S. Postal Service. I was like, okay, I'm going to go now. I don't have time for this. And I was like, bye. Bye. I don't want to be involved anymore. Bye, everybody. And I just like, bye, bye. I don't want to be involved anymore. Bye, everybody.

I just like walked out. I was like, I'm fine. I don't want anything to do with this. I come here to not be harassed. I'm all right. Yeah. Post office is always a fun place, honestly. It's like you walk in and you don't know what you're going to get.

It's kind of like Pawn Stars. That's exactly right. The post office is the Pawn Stars of mail. You're right. You never know what is going to walk through those doors. Yeah, that would seem to have been better if it was Chumlee and the grandpa. And he was like, Chumlee, Chumlee, you gotta stop pulling on the dough. He's like, don't tell me what to do.

I'm going to get it. There's money in this box. Chumlee, what are you doing? Chumlee, you dumb boy. Yeah, man. My favorite is when they, there's one episode where they were like, we got to get the old man Something for his birthday

I hear he likes pie And then the one guy was like you can't get him pie He'll kill him He's like yeah but we gotta get him pie for his birthday Which by the way pie for a birthday Is hilarious to begin with He's like we gotta get him pie for his birthday And for some

I can't remember how it ends, but for some reason, all I remember is the old dude being like, I like cherry pie. I don't remember anything but that. Yes. I like a good cherry pie. I like cherry pie.

Like, I don't, I like, don't remember what happened. I imagine he got his pie, but also, I seem to recall that it was a weird way he got it. Like, they did a whole setup where at the end, they were like,

oh, you didn't get him his pie! And then one was just there, and he's like, thank you, boy! Damn, I don't remember what happened at all. I just remember that line. He's like, I don't remember what happened at all. I just remember that line. It was like, I like cherry pie. It's a great show.

It's just a great show. Like, that's your biggest memory from the show. I like cherry pie. Most of that show, I don't remember any. I remember one episode they were trying to film a horror movie, which, again, isn't the show about owning a pawn shop. But there's a plot. Every Chumlee plot line is like, I bought a camera, and I'm going to film a horror movie. And everyone's like, Chumlee, don't film a horror movie.

He's like, I'm going to do it. It's going to be good. He's like, I'll begin your horror film, Chumlee. Yeah. I don't know anyone's name on that show what are the names on that show paw big paw pawn stars is no longer on the air thank god rick rick was the pawn star guy then there was young rick then there was chumlee and then old main i think that was it hold on just for the just for the record time out austin lee Russell, better known by his stage name, Chumlee, is an American actor, businessman,

and reality television personality known as a cast member on the History Channel television show, Pawn Stars. I forgot it was on the History Channel. Oh, my God. It was on the History Channel. Oh, my God. It was on the History Channel. Unreal. Well, they got away with it being on the History Channel because they're like, here's some facts about some objects that are old. Yeah. Corey Harrison, Rick Harrison, and Richard Benjamin Harrison.

Oh, rest in peace, Rich. Oh, yeah. I heard the old man died. That's kind of yeah last year in las vegas nevada huh sad times who is olivia black and she was on the show uh wait olivia black i guess she was a pawn star oh she was there's one episode where she was with chumley uh do they include her in chumley episodes just to make her like, look, no one wants to just watch Chumlee. She was a suicide girl?

What the hell? Did they just like bring her in to be like, eh? They had to have. They had to have been like, you know what? Olivia Black's net worth is $1 million. That's what happens when you get on that show. Uh-oh. The real reason she was fired from Pawn Stars.

What? Oh, my God. Oh, it's a YouTube video. Oh, God. And I clicked it. Here's the problem. Uh oh The real reason she was fired from Pawn Stars What? Oh my god Oh it's a YouTube video Oh god and I clicked it Here's the problem Every time I click a YouTube video that's like Supposed to be an informative video It's always a British dude

Every single time He's like one of the biggest things in reality TV Was Pawn Stars I don't like it I don't like it I don't like that the British are taking over our commentary channels. American commentators have things to talk about. I mean, the British have some pretty good television.

Look, I get it. You're right. It's very entertaining. That's where I saw that one about that guy's penis, and it was hilarious. Wait. I told you. I had to have told you this. It was the best thing to happen to me.

Because that's kind of a weird thing to bring up and then move on from. A few years back, I think it was for Dodger and Sam's wedding. We rented an Airbnb and we were sitting around one night. And on TV, on literally the BBC, was a documentary about a guy and his extremely tiny penis. And the whole thing was about him. Like he had a girlfriend who loved him but like this dude's dick was very tiny crendor like extremely tiny but she was like i love him and it's fine and he it feels fine like everything's okay he needs to get over it but this dude's like

i can't i can't do it so it was an hour-long journey of him trying to come to terms with this little tiny penis. And so let me tell you, he goes to this one woman that casts dicks. That's her thing. She dips him in coating and then makes molds of wieners. And around her house are celebrity penises. It was insane. And so she casts his dick, and she's like, see, it's not that bad. And the guy's like, oh, thank you.

He like goes on a spiritual journey. By the end, it's him holding a plaster cast of his penis, screaming from a rooftop. I love my penis. Krendor, I've never. All right. I think I'm starting to remember the story because I remember you screaming. I love my penis really loud. I've never

ever ever enjoyed something so much it was hilarious truly one of the funniest things i've ever seen i couldn't believe it see that's the thing that's the type of uh you know content that the british are gonna bring over here to america a guy yelling i love my penis really loud on top of a mountain yeah i mean you're right that's's why we have to steal British shows and make them American shows. I get it now. Only England has the true power to be like, I love my penis! I'll never forget.

I was in a room with like four other people watching it, and I was dying. I couldn't stop laughing. I was like, I can't believe this is is on tv i can't believe they're just showing this dude's dick on tv constantly and i can't believe that like it was this guys it was it was actually beautiful and weird truly truly you're right england is ahead of us we've talked about this before england is ahead of us the problem is they're taking all our american complainers england has all the complainers. There's none left for Americans.

That's true. But they complain in such an articulate way. Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like that they're good at it. I complain like a crazy person. That's the thing. It's like the accent just gives them some sort of superpower, essentially.

It makes everyone think they're smart when really they're as dumb as us. It's an it's an illusion yeah yeah they're just as stupid as us uh yeah because it's like they can be like oh bother i'm out of uh you know i don't even know what i'm out of and then i'd be like i don't know what i'm out of sounds yeah it sounds the exact same level of stupid except theirs is like refined stupid yeah refined stupid yep that's gonna come up in one of the quote episodes you're gonna be like man i don't remember what i said well speaking of stupid that's the last thing you want to be.

That's traffic. Okay, let's go to weather. All right, thank you. Hey, welcome to the weather desk.

Today, we're going to be checking out some weather. Let's go to, speaking of tar. Tar, tarawa. Tarawa, curabadi, curabadi. Tarawa. Tarawa, curabadi, curabadi. So, in tarawa, it is 86 degrees. Fair.

Feels like 97. Ooh, it's getting hot. 81 degrees Fahrenheit. Scattered thunderstorms tonight. Put a coat on. Variable clouds with scattered thunderstorms. You got lows at 81. Winds northeast at 5 to 10.

5 to 10 miles an hour. You got a chance of rains up to 60%. Ooh. Watch out for that rain. Where is South Tarawa? Oh, my God. It's like on an island in the middle of nowhere. Or it is an island in the middle of nowhere.

Wait. It could be both. Where is this? That's Karabani. Oh, my God. You have to look up South Tarawa. It's literally in the middle of nowhere. Did you?

Did you? For the one person listening from there, if that, have you discovered Atlantis? South Tarawa? Tarawa. Wow, that was actually really easy to spell. South Tarawa. It looks... What is this place?

What is this place? That's what I'm saying. That's what I was saying. What have you discovered? Listen, That's what I'm saying. That's what I was saying. What have you discovered? Listen, that's what I'm saying. I think this is where, like, all the politicians go. This is that island. It's the capital and hub of the Republic of Kiribati? Where's Kiribati?

Kiribati is a bunch of different islands out in the middle of literally nowhere. It's sort of south of Hawaii? It's like, wait wait the federated states of micronesia oh okay kiribati a sovereign state in central pacific ocean population of 110 000 uh more than half live on tara atoll what the hell wow this place is so... Yeah, Crendor. So, South Tarawa. Basically, it's an island, but the inside of the island has been filled in with water. What?

How do you fill an island with water? Is it Fiji? No, I mean, like, the inside of it is... What the hell? What? This is amazing so most people live on a little tiny strip of land and it's surrounded by ocean on one side and the other side is sort of a a micro ocean or an atoll as the kids would say wow that's so crazy we discovered a beautiful place this is it's gorgeous looking oh yeah it's got like a little baby ocean side of the ocean.

Oh, my God. That's so cool. Right? Look at this. Also, speaking of Fiji, I clicked on it. It has a huge trash problem. And one of the things it shows is just a bunch of Fiji bottles. That's a big oof, Johnson.

Yeah, it has a lagoon is the right word that I should be looking for. It has a lagoon in the middle. Oh, that's so neat. Huh. Wow, I wonder what is the city here? What's the main city? What's the main city? What's the deal with the main city?

Oh, wow. It's so neat looking. Does it have, like, the University of the South Pacific, the House Assembly, the Roman Catholic Diocese? What the hell? Roman Catholic Diocese? The area that, oh, my God, we may not even have one listener here. We found the area that you mentioned has 50,000 people living in it. Oh, my God.

It's like a suburb. Wow! It's so tiny, Crendor! It's so tiny! Wow. I'm impressed. We discovered something here today. I've never even heard of this place.

It looks incredible. I've never seen anything like it. I don't know how you would get there. I imagine in a very tiny plane. No, no. We used the biggest plane to get to South Tarawa. One of those, like, boat planes. Oh, I've never landed in a boat

plane. A boat plane, you say? Yeah, you know the planes that got, like, boat legs? What? That sounds weird. You know, the plane with boat legs. The plane with boat legs. Yeah. The old boat leg plane. It's everyone's favorite. Well, that was neat. I like that. And that's the weather.

All right. Crandor, let's go to sports. Sports. We got some sports coming up for you fresh off the presses. First up, we have football. Raiders took down the Chargers. Bears took down the backup quarterback of the Lions. The Ravens destroyed the sad, sad

Bengals. The Bills lost. The Ravens destroyed the sad, sad Bengals. The Bills lost to the Browns in a sad state of Ohio. Tennessee blocked a field goal to beat the Chiefs. The Falcons beat the Saints somehow. That's a weird one. Jets beat the Giants in the Battle of the Bad New York teams. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Cardinals. The Dolphins have somehow won again, beating the Colts. I don't know how they're doing.

Yeah, man. All over the internet, people were like, how did you lose to the Dolphins? I don't know. I mean, they did have their backup quarterback as well, so it's kind of better still. Packers beat the Panthers in the Snow Bowl. They've got a snow game going. That's pretty fun. Steelers beat the Rams.

Look at that. It happened. They're doing it. And Steelers beat the Rams look at that it happened they're doing it and the Vikings beat the Cowboys uh so Gardner Minshew I believe was off this week and then tomorrow night we got Seahawks and 49ers uh and then can I tell you that um my entire life I haven't caught up on the finale of the good place all right but I'm so invested in something that I don't think will happen but needs to happen. Okay. One of the characters, Jason, he is obsessed with Blake Bortles.

And of course, when he is talking about him, the show started when he was still on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yeah. He is no longer on the Jaguars. And so in this most recent season, one of the characters had to tell him that Blake Bortles was no longer on the Jaguars. Yeah. He is no longer on the Jaguars. And so in this most recent season, one of the characters had to tell him that Blake Bortles was no longer on the Jaguars. I need, before the end of this show, a Minshew mention in the good place. That saves Jason and teaches him the value of life and love. It's like whenever God closes up Bortles, he opens a Minshew.

I'm invested. I'm very invested. Here's the thing. Jaguars are on their bye week this week, and it appears that Nick Foles will be starting for Minshew this week. That's what I heard. That's what I heard. Man.

I don't like it. I don't like it. Damn. Here's the thing. People get hurt. Things happen. Accidents occur. Minshew will be back. Minshew willidents occur. Minshew will be back.

Minshew will be back. Minshew will be back. I swear to God. You better be. Then all the other sports are pretty much the same. Looks like Washington and St. Louis are the best in the NHL. And then the NBA,'s like the Celtics, Raptors,
