Hello everybody, welcome to the second episode of Ghost on Trenda in the morning! Gag's Grenda in the morning! Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of Gag's Grenda in the morning! Yo. Yo.

Yo. E-I-E-I-O. That's a good one, E-I-E-I-O. Yep, save it. That's our next one. Next time, hit me with that. I'll forget. I'll be like, oh, that was a good one. Next time, the old barnyard. Yep.

The old barnyard. It was a crendle who had a coxswain. Jesse was his name-o. Maybe we shouldn't go to the barnyard. Might be a bad idea. Yep, yep, yep, yep. How's your life going? Are you still stressed about work?

Um, I, so, I, boy. Did I not ever want to talk about this again? But I had a really funny meeting with YouTube this week. Alright. And it was basically them being like, so we noticed you don't do a lot of collaborations with people anymore. And we noticed that's just not a thing you're doing. And we're really curious why.

Because at one point in time, you were doing it a lot. And now you're not doing it at all. And I just sit there with YouTube higher ups and just be like, 90% of my friends have left for Twitch. The other 10% were either canceled or have passed away. I don't know anyone on the platform anymore. So, like, I don't know what you guys want me to tell you. They're like, well, maybe you could, you know, meet some new people and partner with them. I was like, I am in my late 30s, y'all.

I don't know anyone on YouTube anymore that isn't 19. Just meet some new people. How old are you? Oh, half my age. They're like, yeah, you know, just go become friends with some kid. What do you mean? I have nothing in common with this person. I would gladly, if

I knew people or was in the circle of people that were still on YouTube, I would gladly do that. But I don't know anyone else. Yeah. I was so frustrated and angry that I went off and I just went on a rant. And it was really funny because Kristen was just standing there and it felt so bad because she just had to be in the room as I was losing it. And when I was done, one of the guys looks at me and goes, I hear you.

And I was like, get out of – I gave him this look that was like, shut up. Shut up. So then – I came immediately out of that meeting. And so I don't – I think I've mentioned this. I think I've started taking writing classes. I don't think you mentioned that. Well, so I am tired of having really great ideas and not being able to write a complete script that then I can take credit for rather than I have an idea. I have to give it to screenwriters.

They write it and then end up taking 90% of the credit because they wrote everything. Right. So, I mean, that's the producer creator life of just like, I thought up the idea taking 90% of the credit. Cause they wrote everything. Right. So, I mean, that's, that's the producer creator life of just like, I thought up the idea, but everyone else gets credit. Um, so I was like,

I'm going to start writing my own scripts for things like actual scripts. And so in this class, um, we did a writing exercise. Now, mind you, I just come out of this meeting. So I then jump onto the zoom call with this class and I'm just like, all right, I am ready to go.

I'm ready to get creative. I'm ready to not think about YouTube for a hot minute because I'm really stressed about it. And they're like, okay, so today's exercise, we're going to do it in four minute chunks. The first is going to create a character based on yourself. Now, really think about it. Really create a character based on who you are. And I'm just going to create a character based on yourself now really think about it really create a character based on who you are and i'm just gonna read you i have the notes all right i have the notes of this character and the first the first writing exercise was who is your character aging internet influencer struggles with learning to start again in creating a new and popular YouTube channel.

He feels like he is both surrounded by people yet entirely alone. And they were like, wow, this is such a unique story. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, no, it's crazy that I thought this up. They're like, yeah, wow, this is so interesting. This is actually my therapy. Oh, I swear to God. I was like, I was just dumping. I was like, and this is how I feel.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It was crazy. And this character, he just wants to find Himself and love I'm telling you That's what it was like And everyone in the room was like that's beautiful That's so good

Yeah And I was just like Cause I honest to god I had to tell In the YouTube talk I had to tell them never to call me again And talk about numbers I was like when you bring up numbers And you bring up like well this video did this tell in the YouTube talk, I had to tell them never to call me again and talk about numbers. I was like, when you bring up numbers and you bring up like, well, this video did this,

you should follow this. That is the least creative. Like, I feel like you're smothering me. Like I want to create things and I don't ever want to look at the views. I never want to do it. I just want to make videos. And they're like, but you know, if you just made videos like this, you would be more successful. And I'm like, but I don't, that's not who I am. Stop telling me to be that. Oh, I was, I was livid, Grendor, livid. So yeah, I went directly into a writing session and was like, oh, and they were like, this is the, this is like beautiful. I was like, yeah, it's beautiful.

Yeah. So that's, that's, that's where I was this week. Well, it also sounds like you want to be successful, but just by doing it the way you want. I'm sure there's, I think everyone wants to be successful. I feel like that's a lie. People are like, I don't want to be successful. I just want to be happy and doing what I'm doing, but when I work with YouTube, YouTube's idea of success isn't, you know, it's, YouTube has an idea that one thing is, like, their success is one thing.

Like, part of the conversation we had, and this, Crandor, is so upsetting to me. So, I made a Final Fantasy XIV video that was a reaction to a trailer, right? And I'll be real open with this because it, like, upsets me tremendously. a reaction to a trailer right and i'll be real open with this because it like upsets me tremendously yeah so i made this trip this reaction and this reaction video has more views than anyone else who reacted this video combined right oh yeah yep so i go to search for it one day just out of curiosity before this meeting to see like you know how things work and i'm not at the top in fact i'm like five down and the people at the top even if i search like on different computers under incognito mode whatever it's usually the same five people at the top and i'm like well

that's weird the number one video has a thousand views like why is this so i asked them i'm like why am i not number one in this category i clearly clearly have the most views. Wouldn't I be the thing that you'd put up at the top? And their response was like, look, um, the, we have determined, or I guess the algorithm determined that the amount of views for this video has been tapped out. Like no one else is going to watch your video on this because the people who wanted to watch it have already watched it. So the algorithm is promoting people who don't have a lot of views

to the top of this section of this search. And I'm like, wait, timeout. What? They're like, yeah. So, I mean, that's like what we do. We promote people that, you know, once you're tapped out, we lower you and then we promote people that can get other views.

And I'm like like so then why when i go look up a seven-year-old five nights at freddy's video it's always the same people at the top and they're like well because the algorithm has it so that you know there's a synergy where they made so many videos on the subject and then you know it all flows back into it and then people see these videos and they click i'm like so what you're saying is if i make more final fantasy 14 videos i'll be at the top more they're like well that's not necessarily the case of what will happen but what happens is people see these videos and they keep clicking on them like so you're telling me that they're in front of people's eyes and people keep clicking on them

so they stay at the top and they're like yes like okay then why is my video pushed down when it should be the top and then eyes will see it and click it and They were like well the algorithm says that your videos like the audience is tapped out for this I'm like, but how would it know that if people don't see it? If people if it's pushed down no one's gonna see it so the audience isn't there and there's like well the algorithm I'm telling you that's every conversation. I have it's like Well, the algorithm, I'm telling you, that's every conversation I have. It's like, none of this makes sense.

I literally was like the rich get richer is what you're telling me. The algorithm is saying that if you have 80 million subscribers and a million people watch this video, it'll always be at the top. But if I don't have any million subscribers, but I have the most possible views, it won't put me in the top. It'll lower me because, and they're like, well, that's what it does. I'm like, why? Oh, yeah. This is why I don't deal with numbers anymore. I'm like, this is insane.

What you're saying is insane to me. Have you tried writing a novel like the chiropractor man in your description? Oh, I mean, that's what all these classes are for. For better YouTube description writing, obviously. Just take your writing class and then put it into your description. I mean, where else am I going to work through all my problems? This is the perfect place. I feel like

you had a much crazier week than I did. I mean, all that happened in the last two days. So anything before that was boring. Nothing happened. And then the last two days. So anything before that was boring. Nothing happened. And then the last two days have just been like, Yeah.

So what happened to you this week? Well, on Tuesday, I got my first Moderna shot. Hey, welcome to the club. Yeah, yeah. And it was one of those things where, you know, you go there, you wait, and then you just later get a shot. And I'm like, wow, that wasn't bad. But I remember I was, like, sitting there, and I felt a little, like, malaise, you know?

I, too, immediately after getting a shot had, like, a thing. But I don't know if it was because I was happy I got, like, my body was like, you got a shot, bro! I don't know. I couldn't tell you. No, I'm pretty sure it was. Because prior to that, I was, like, I was feeling, it made me feel a little, like, eh. But it wasn't, like, sick feeling. It was't tell you. No, I'm pretty sure it was. Prior to that, it made me feel a little like, eh. But it wasn't like sick feeling. It was just a little like, eh. And then later on, my arm kind of hurt.

And then I was going to play Dota with everybody. They were all playing. And then they were taking forever. And then Sam's like, why are you taking forever? And then someone's like, I don't know. And I was like, I'm getting really tired. I just left and like laid down the couch watch sports but i wasn't like the thing was like i wasn't tired enough

to like sleep or like you know whatever been that but i wasn't energized enough to like do anything so it's like that weird middle ground or just lay in there like all right, and then the next day I Was like 70% better with the fatigue, but my arm felt like someone hit me with a baseball bat Yeah, it definitely has there's like a muscle Right on the spot like nowhere else. It's like right on that spot. Yeah, yes They're like keep massaging it keep doing that move it around so I was moving around and massaging it And then the next day is pretty like it's pretty much good. It's like back to normal So they're like, keep massaging it, keep doing that, move it around. So I was moving it around and massaging it. And then the next day, it was pretty much good. It was like back to normal.

But they said the second shot hits you harder. Yeah, this coming week is my second shot. So I'll have something to report, perhaps. We'll see. Nice. Yeah, we'll see. I've heard people be like, I got it, and I had the flu for a day. And some people are like, I got it, and I had the same thing as the first shot. Some people are like, I got it, and I just was tired.

Yeah, my parents got their shots, and they were fine. My dad was like, I got my second shot, and I slept, and I woke up and felt fine. I'm like, okay. But then I hit him with the, like, maybe they gave you the placebo, Dad. And he's like, it would be the VA that did it. I'm like, maybe, man. Maybe they gave

you the placebo. Maybe you're the test dummy. He's like, so now I've got that in his head, so I'm feeling pretty good. So yeah, that was that. And then I had my, you know, annual gast annual gastro visit oh you were at doctors like crazy this week yeah so it was just like all right how you doing like i don't know i got like some heartburn like pain here but like it was worse like back in the day whatever he's like

you know it's been five years since your last endoscopy we could do another one see if everything's good and i'm like, you should. And report back to us. I was like, yeah, but like last time I got an endoscopy, I was like, oh my God, this pain is so bad. I think I have stomach cancer. And I had mild gastritis. Oh, you mean before it happened? I thought you meant while it was going on.

You were like, I think you gave me cancer. No, they knocked you out for that. I was like, what? Yeah, alright. Yeah, because I was like, oh my god, this pants. That was when we were in England, I think. We were in England. This was like the second time in England. Every time you've ever traveled with me, you almost died. That's true.

Yeah, I remember my stomach was just so bad, and I was like, oh god, this is the worst and then i was like yeah what are they gonna find this could be so bad and it was just mild gastritis and i'm like what the shit is like not mild gastritis i don't want to know uh so i was just like yeah i mean if my like things get worse i'll do it but like right now i'm just like it's probably something i'm eating aggravating me so i notice the worst is when all right this is gonna sound obvious but like brace yourself everyone when i'm hunched over like at a computer or like uh you know just like

eating on a couch or something just kind of like up and you're like you know obviously when you're hunched your stomach and your guts are kind of getting pushed up a bit because you're not straight and uh i mean like it's either like breakfast or like a thing where i have coffee or like and i eat a lot you know too much food or because i'm like got a bulk or it's just the coffee mixed in with it and that's when i usually get like the pain and it'll like last for like maybe like 30 minutes and then it goes away. It's not like a constant thing. And I had it like a few years ago too. And I think it was from eating too fast.

So I think it's just I need to eat smaller meals and not have as much coffee. Aren't you the journal man though? Don't you? Like don't you? Shouldn't you know? Well, I have started journaling my food again. So I'm trying to figure it out. So wait, so you stopped, but now that's your problem.

There's your problem. You stopped. Yeah, that is the problem. I stopped the journal. Well, the thing is, I stopped the journal because I felt better. It's the classic, like, I was doing it, and then I got better, and I'm like, dude, I'm great. And then I just go about doing whatever, and then it gets flared up again. And then you're

like ah geez in fact i remember a few months ago i felt great i was like man remember when i had stomach problems haha and then boom it's like i willed it into existence yeah unfortunately for you you screwed yourself over i'm so sorry so yeah that's. So, wait. What chair are you using right now? Well, I just bought a new chair. Oh, what chair? So, I was watching Bob and Brad. Well, first off, first off. What was your old chair?

Hold on. What was your old chair? I have to know how awful an old. Yeah, all right. So, you had, like, a chair that probably was killing your back. So you had like a chair that probably was killing your back. The problem is that a lot of chairs in like office stores or whatever are made for like people are like six, six to 80. And that's like not me.

So I was like, I just want to find a chair that's like for a small person, you know? And so Bob and Brad were talking about posture and they're like, this chair is actually good. And whatever. So I go and look at this chair. And it said a flexi. I think it's flexi chair. Flexi chair? Flexi spot.

Flexi spot. I'm looking this up. Flexi spot. FlexispotSpot. I'm looking this up. FlexiSpot. FlexiSpot. FlexiSpot.com. I see it. Ooh, they have like desks, like standing desks and stuff. Yeah. I guess not.

I guess that's not what you're talking about. There's the Soutien Ergonomic Office Chair. All right. Here, I'll even link it to you. Here you go. The Soutien Ergonomic Office Chair. I'm looking at the first thing that popped up here was an office chair that's a bike. All right, well, I linked it to you.

Oh, yeah, I see that one. I see this, yeah. It had good reviews. Bob and Brad said it was good. And then the reviews I looked at, they were like, no, this is a good chair. But I need to tell you right now, this is a chair that's good for, like, people under 5'10". And I was like, oh, my God, I found it. I found it. And you know what? They're right. And I was like, oh my God, I found it. I found it. And you know what?

They're right. It's like perfect height. My back can actually hit the back of the chair without like having to be like, like sit way back here. It's probably the best chair I've had. It feels like I bought a Herman Miller, but for like $1,000 less.

Yeah. I was about to say this chair is $259. And in the world of high-end chairs, that's a steal. Like most high-end chairs are $1,500, like crazy stuff. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. And like it's got all the same like Herman Miller thing, like the arm things go back and forth and side to side. And you have an adjustable lumbar support in the back.

It's fantastic. I see that. I see this. It looks very nice. Good on you. I was about to say, I feel like the chairs you've been talking about have been crappy chairs. Especially considering how much we sit in our job. You've got to have a good chair.

You can't have one of them crappy chairs. Yeah. So once I saw that, I was like, I got to try it. And then got it. And I was like, wow, this is like best chair I've had. And it's cheaper than some of the other chairs I've bought. Crazy. I feel that.

I can't believe they have an under desk bike best standing desk mate chair. Oh, yeah, they do. So you can get on an exercise bike while you're i mean that's dangerous because i'm looking at the bike and has wheels it has like four mini wheels underneath the actual bike at some point you're just gonna actually bike away you're just gonna zip away that's it right on out of there yeah you're gone and uh i still have my standing desk from like a while ago i bought but the problem here's my problem with the standing desk Is that some of my computer cords

Are too short so I start moving the desk up And it's like and it just rips the cord out Yeah I believe that Yeah so I was like I gotta Extend these cords so I So after this I was like alright maybe I'll Have this good chair and then I'm gonna alternate Between sitting and standing cause I don't like

Just like doing one or the other I like being good chair, and then I'm going to alternate between sitting and staying because I don't like just doing one or the other. I like being able to alternate. And so I was like, all right. So I bought USB extension cables, and I bought a long-ass power outlet thing, and I think I've got it now. It's like I now have the capabilities to sit and stay. I mean, you got it.

You got it figured out. That's my dream is to have a sit-stand at the office and, like, be able to record stuff and also goof around with it. Like, I have a dream. I have a dream, Crenthor, one day. One day. One day. Yeah, good on you, dude. This is great.

Thanks. Good purchase. I'm blown away. This is actually, like, it's super cheap and looks like it's not super cheap, which says a lot. Yeah, that's honestly the most. I was like, there's got to be something wrong with this thing for this price. Right. But no, it's fantastic.

And I love it. All the reviews. I was like, these reviews got to be fake. Don't think so, because I would give it a five star review, too. So, yeah, you know, my updates is I got a shot I bought a chair and my tummy still hurts Yeah my update is that I'm questioning my very existence

And I am over people In positions of authority I think I'm just gonna become Like a rage against the machine Kind of like street vandal Just be like Angry at everyone I miss young Jesse Where I could just be like angry at everyone i miss i miss young jesse where i could just be angry for no reason it was cool i miss uh young crendor i could eat whatever i want without

pain those are the days what happened to us what happened to us age i hate it uh i also did a poll on the youtube.com slash coxandcrendor podcast youtube channel I said I did it at the start of this podcast I said how long have you been listening to coxandcrendor 7% said 1 year

8% 2 years 14% 3 years 7% 4 years and 63% 5 years and why 3 years 7% 4 years And 63% 5 years And why have I done this to myself 63% 5 Crendor I feel like this tells us two things One our audience loyalty

Is tremendous We could get them to do anything If we ever need to start a private army I think we could do it However it also tells me We need to start a private army, I think we could do it. However, it also tells me we need to find new recruits. We gotta like, we gotta like indoctrinate kids like cigarette

c*****. We gotta find a way to be like, listening to Cox and Crendor is the coolest. Your parents will think you're bad. Right? Well like, you know, we gotta get the kids. They'll be like, wow, this show this shows great they just talk about being old maybe that's why we don't relate to the kids instead of being like follow your dreams you'll be

great on YouTube I'm like these. I didn't have pain. It was great. Today I woke up and my gastrointestinal problems weren't... How old is this guy? Like 70? Oh, shit. I mean, it all adds up.

Uh-huh. It all adds up. If anything, people should look at us and be like, this is what 10 years of YouTube creation does to you. Oh, yeah. Oh, I got gastro problems and I need a new chair. Well, that and bad posture and eating late at night and not eating right. It all adds up. It all adds up.

It was another thing. It was like the gastro doctor was like i mean i can i can literally tell you to do the same things i've told you to do before we can do another one of the endoscopies just to check and i'm like man i guess i'll just do all the things we've done before i guess they worked last time yeah man but then i can't have the things that I like. And I like those things. Well, I mean, that's unfortunate, but I feel like that's the fate of everyone. I feel bad because there's people who just go through their lives depriving themselves of stuff. And then when they get older, they'll be forced not to have it yeah so you might as well get it out of the way now

because then you'll be like oh i never got a chance to eat that triple hot fudge sundae burger it's like yep it's too late for you i'll tell you what i used to be able to eat any fast food item known to man and now i remember after i got my gallbladder out, I ate that Panda Express that one time. I think my colon, like, died and came back to life. It was like the entirety of my colon was just like, oh. The Christ of colons has arisen. That was a terrible experience. It's not even like, oh, I just had to go to the bathroom.

It was like my colon was just like, I can't even handle this man. Like what did you eat? I feel for you, man. When I have stomach problems, like when I ate that almond milk and was just like, for a day, one day I was like, I can't imagine what having that with a frequency would be like. And my thing is I got it like, I've got it mild. There's people out there that got it real bad.

So I'm like, at least I got, like, the light version. Do you think maybe that's just what they're telling you? Like, oh, no, it's just mild, it's just mild. But really, you have, like, the worst version? No, because I've, like, gone on Reddit and places, and there's people, like, I can't eat. If I eat, like, one pretzel, I die. And I'm like, Jesus.

Oh, my God. It's like I go to the bathroom 15 times a day. I have GERD that's like acid flows up every time I lay down. I can't enjoy a meal anymore. And I'm like, yeah, you know what? I think I do have the mild one. Yeah, no, you're right. You're right.

Clearly, I'm wrong. But I don't know. I've been very blessed to have, like, the iron gut. I do very, very well with food. Except I apparently almond milk, which is my one weakness, I guess. I learned that. I'm trying to track down what does it for me. Well, that's why you have to keep your food journal.

And that's why you failed for not keeping it. I did fail. You did fail. Total failure. Well, you know what? Speaking of failing, I don't know where this is going. Speaking of utter failure.

Speaking of utter failure, remember learning a second language in high school? Oh, man. I lasted two weeks. Yeah, whatever you were doing and how we all, air quotes, learned a second language. Boy, let me tell you, I did a lot of Spanish, and the best I can do is Spanglish right now. Well, thanks to Babbel, the number one selling language learning app,

Quip, as you know, is there for your teeth.

For brushing, for flossing. It is one of the best ways to really hone your habits and become good at teeth brushing and taking care of your oral health well now they have gum and i know a lot of people like what gum it turns out is really really good for your oral health if you chew it after eating meals and. It helps clean up all that gunk that's in your mouth. And Quip has their own gum as well. I actually have some on my desk right now. I've been, before we did this podcast, I was chewing some.

I chew some after every meal. You know, it's a great way to keep your mouth fresh. And it feels minty clean. And I love it. Also, it's a good way to relieve stress and curb appetites. Just putting that out there. Most of us chew gum, but not all gum is created equal. Some might come in fancy packaging but only cover up bad breath.

Others have tons of sugar and wreak havoc on your teeth. But the oral care experts at Quip have made a gum that stands out from the pack, helps prevent cavities, and tastes great too. It comes in a slim travel-ready dispenser available in five colors, metal or plastic, and protects up to ten pieces of gum at a time. You know, it's like a dispenser of one of

Looking out there, we got some cars picking up traffic. People are starting to go out again. They're getting shots. They're doing stuff. Man, I've gotten worse at these traffic segments since I stopped doing traffic and started bringing up random topics instead. I'm off my game.

And this one is especially bad. Back to you. Thanks, Crandor. Now let's go over to Crandor at the weather desk. How's that weather? Weather time. All right, let's get a little weather action out there. Weather time action.

Weather, weather, weather. Weather or not, you like the weather. Look at that one. What? What? Weather or not, you like the weather. Look at that one. What? Whether or not you like the weather and and?

That's it. Oh, that's it. Alright. That's threatening then. Whether or not you like the weather. Threatened. I decided to type in 45454 and it looks like we're going to Jadawangi West Java, Indonesia.

Great. I think we've been to Indonesia a bunch. I feel like that's a calling for you. I think it is. Maybe because it's warm and thunderstormy, and I like those. Yeah, that's what I hear about you. Warm and thunderstormy. 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

Let's see. In terms of the weather, 90 was the high 73 the low humidity 94 percent pressure 29.89 visibility six miles wind two miles an hour 2.73 v index zero moon phase new moon new moon looking at the end day you got your 89 scattered thunderstorms chance of rain 90 You got your 89 scattered thunderstorms. Chance of rain, 90%. Tuesday, 90 thunderstorms. Wednesday, 89 thunderstorms. Thursday, 89 thunderstorms.

Friday, 89 thunderstorms. Saturday, 89 thunderstorms. Sunday, 90 thunderstorms. Monday, 90 thunderstorms. Tuesday, 90 scattered thunderstorms. Wednesday, PM showers. Thursday, 90 PM thunderstorms. Friday, p.m. showers. Thursday, 90 p.m. thunderstorms. Right.

Thunderstorm, thunderstorm. It's a lot of 90s with thunderstorms. That's actually crazy. Rainy season, my dude. Yeah. I think I always forget how rainy a rainy season is. I mean, yeah. When I think rainy season, I'm like, ah, it's probably raining like, you know, four days a week.

But it's like, it doesn't stop raining. Which is pretty crazy when you think about it. Like it's just nonstop rain. I'm a little jealous, but whatever. I mean, I guess I'm not jealous of rain, but at the same time I am, you know? Like I miss rain, but every time it rains, something terrible happens to my apartment. I'm just hoping. I love rain here. We've been getting some rain.

It's nice because it rained yesterday and you get a nice misty rain. You walk around and it feels fresh. I feel that. I believe that. And that's the weather. All right, Crandor. Sports? Sports.

Sports. Oh, yeah, this isn't even related to sports, but I've been doing my World of Warcraft achievements to get my mount for the holidays. Wait, what? Okay. Yeah. Uh-huh.

And I just got Children's Week to go. There are some people out there that are like, oh, thank God, this is way better than sports. Oh, yeah. You know that, right? There are people out there who are like, oh, thank God. Without a doubt.

Thank God we're talking about this and not sports. This I can relate to. Yeah, I do need to go get my mouth before Noble Garden. Yeah, well, Noble Garden ends today, so. Well, they're out of luck shit out of luck gang you had to farm a bunch of eggs do a bunch of stuff i never did any of that and then i was able to get it all done so now i just got that children's week left and apparently the one achievement is you take your orphan to like battlegrounds and do shit and it's super annoying so that's gonna be like my my ultimate goal to finally get that mount for all

the holidays bless yep should be fun should be some great streamer content as a streamer not on youtube.com um streamer content streamer content uh which by the way like streaming i like youtube and i like streaming for different reasons. Sure. You know, you get that. I mean, of course I get that. YouTube, I've said this before, I'll say it again. Like YouTube is like making a movie or a TV show where you do a thing and then you put it together and you think about how you want it to look.

And streaming is like a play. Like you're in front of the crowd and you just go. And if you screw up, whatever. You just keep going. You have to keep going. Yeah. Yeah. And so it's, yeah, I like it both for each reason. Like, it's obviously, it's easier to just be like,

what up guys? Today I'm playing Wheel of Fortune, which that was me like four days ago. Sure. Uh, by the way, Wheel of Fortune for the Switch. Great game. Extremely bad. Great game. But, you know, you can way, Wheel of Fortune for the Switch. Great game. Extremely bad. Great game. You can only do Wheel of Fortune so many ways. But some of those puzzles

like, God, what are you... I don't even know. Anyway, sports. In the NFL, NFL draft's coming up in a couple weeks. I'm going to have to go get my three guys to talk about football crew together so we can talk about football where people do like sports.

Probably a little too much, honestly. And then over in basketball, let's see. We got James Wiseman hurting himself. That's not good. Hurts the Golden State Warriors' chances of doing things. That's not good. That's not good. Take a look at the standings of the NBA.

You got the Sixers and the Nets up top in the East with the Bucs right there behind them. But the Hawks have been doing pretty well, 7-3. They actually almost lost to the Bulls, then the Bulls choked it away. That was a fun one. Over in the Western Conference, you got the Jazz at the top, 40-13. Wowee. Suns right behind them, 37-15. Suns were pretty bad the last, like, seven years,

but now they're getting good again. And you got the Clippers, the Nuggets, the Lakers, and the Trailblazers all up there. Where are the Warriors? Oh, they're at the 10th. They're doing the play-ins, so they might slip out of the play-in to the Pelicans or the Kings or something. Could be crazy.

Fun to watch. Over in the NHL. Yeah. What happened to you? NHL. A lot of things have happened. Toronto at the top. Colorado at the top.

Carolina and Tampa Bay tied at the top. And Washington and the Islanders tied at the top. Pittsburgh right behind them there. Florida up there. And it looks like the Minnesota is also up there. And Vegas. And Winnipeg and Edmonton, the other top teams. Like the Minnesota is also up there. And Vegas. Oh, jeez. And Winnipeg and Edmonton, the other top teams in the other divisions.

And then baseball. MLB standings. We got some baseball weeks in us now. Looks like Red Sox at the top of the East. Indians at the top of the Central. AL West has got the Astros and the Angels. Over in National League, you got the Phillies at the top of the East. Indians at the top of the Central. AL West has got the Astros and the Angels. Over in the National League, you've got the Phillies at the top. You've got the Reds at the top.

You've got the Dodgers at the top. And, you know, only 150 games to go. Jesus. So, we'll see how that plays out. Yep. And that's sports. All right, Gretter, what's our big news story of the day? We don't know yet because we have to have the random fact.

Oh, God damn. Yeah, yeah. Here's a good one. The first person convicted of speeding was going eight miles per hour. Is this true? Is this true? Is this true? According to the Guinness World Records, the first person to be charged with speeding

was Walter Arnold of the English village of Paddock Wood, Kent on January 28, 1896. Arnold was spotted going four times the speed limit in his 19th century Benz. But since the speed limit at the time was 2 miles per hour,

that meant he was going too fast by today's standards. Yo, that is incredible. The constable had to chase him down on his bicycle, issuing a ticket for four pounds and seven... What is that?

What's their sense? Seven S? Pennywinkles. Seven pennywinkles Seven, what is that? What's their sense? Seven S. Penny Winkles. Seven Penny Winkles and earning Arnold the Speedy Distinction. Man, yeah, that's it. He's going eight miles an hour. I love that a cop had the balls to pull him over the first time.

Like, that was, it was the first person, first time we're doing that. I love it. I love it. He's like, someone's got to teach this guy a lesson. He's going too fast. This guy's going to my eight miles an hour. What the fuck? Like, how could they tell? They didn't have speedometers.

Oh, you could tell. This guy's flying. How could you not tell? Yeah, you're right. This guy was zooming along. So that's the random fact. All right. And then now we're at the uh the big news story here oh boy all right you know i decided to randomly check cosmo we're not doing

a cosmo story but uh i just want to tell you there's a but i just was on there for reasons that i like i'm not gonna i was just on there yeah uh there's a wild night at weed church parentheses yes weed church none of that sounds like a wild night to me sounds like like the chillest night there ever was it sounds the opposite of wild and we church everyone there's just like, hey, man, calm down. I don't think it's as wild as they say it is. But what is a weed church? I don't know. Probably a church where people get high and, like, you know, just think about Jesus or something.

I see him, man. Oh, what? I see him. I feel him right now. Oh, my God, man. Yeah. Hold on. The International Church of Cannabis is a religious organization in Denver that uses cannabis as a sacrament.

I mean, I probably would have guessed it wasn't Denver yet. Yeah. Definitely screams Denver. Yes. So yeah, there was that. Now for actual news stories. Let's see. We got Georgia man who received 91,515 pennies as final paycheck cashes out.

What? What? As final paycheck? For what? Why would someone do that to him? Hold on. I got to find out. Yeah, this is an interesting story.

Coinstar came to the aid of Andreas Flayton, who found the gargantuan pile of oil-soaked pennies on his driveway, courtesy of his former employer. Whoa! What the shit? What happened between them? I don't know. A Georgia man who received his final paycheck

and over 90,000 oil-soaked pennies from a disgruntled former employer has experienced a change for the better, finally cashing out his huge chunk of coins. Andreas Flayton of Fayetteville, Georgia, originally found a pile of 91,515 pennies on his driveway in March with a note attached to them that read,

Fuck you. There you go. I mean, okay, yeah. I feel like the act of oiled pennies says it all, but I mean, you need the note. According to the interviews, Penny Pyle was the work of Miles Walker, owner of the AOK Walker Auto Works Body Shop in Peachtree City, Georgia. Yep.

Peachtree City. Peachtree City? Walker had reportedly denied Flayton Flatton his last paycheck and only acquiesced. Acquiesced? Acquiesced. There you go.

That's a weird one. After Flayton contacted the Georgia Department of Labor, Coinstar, known for its coin cash and kiosk, came to Flayton's assistance after his story went viral. The company picked up the heap of coins which Flayton had stored in a wheelbarrow with wheels that had deflated from staggering weight and gave him $1,000 in cash. It was a shock and frustrating to be paid in this manner,

and it was an extra burden that the pennies were covered in an oily substance. I was spending an hour or two a night trying to clean the pennies and probably only cleaned off about $5 worth. Jim Garrity, Coinstar CEO, said the company processes approximately 41 billion coins annually, so 91,000 pennies was all in a day's work.

Flayton's girlfriend, Olivia Oxley, who had previously posted footage of the oiled Soak coins on social media and called Walker an asshole, who made unnecessary comments about my boyfriend's daughter and called Walker an asshole who made unnecessary comments about my boyfriend's daughter and was just an all-around dick celebrated the coin conversion on Instagram and share a local segment featuring flight and then

Jeff loyal ahead of North American coin start that is like a vindictive level I just can't don't amount of work that would have to go into that yeah like you could I mean yeah you could he could have just paid him. Yeah, you could have just never paid him and never seen him again. Instead you were like, oh, I'll pay you in pennies that are oiled. That's just, that's a lot.

That's a lot. Yeah. We'll take this directly to our processing partner. It'll be cleaned and wrapped and counted and recirculated, Lael said of the huge coin mess. Walker, Flayton's former employer, has been accused of creating a hostile

work environment by other employees. Yeah? Yeah, you think? Who said he ripped up pay stubs in front of workers and demeaned female staff. Wow, who would have guessed it? Yeah, this guy turns out to be a dick. Weird. When questioned by local media about the strange penny saga,

Walker called Flayton a... Called him a fucking weenie. That is a solid roast. That guy's a fucking weenie. What a weenie. That guy's a fucking weenie. What a weenie.

Yup, yup. Okay, Walker Auto Works has received a flat negative Yelp and Google reviews in the aftermath of the strange Penny saga. Man, what a journey. Yeah, that is certainly a journey. Man, what a journey Yeah, that is certainly a journey

What an adventure we've gone on Yeah, I mean, all of the Yelp reviews are just pictures of pennies Yeah, good, good, get him, get him I've never been a fan of internet revenge like that But, get him.
