Let's jump into the show. Hello, everybody. It's time for Ghost on Trend Dog. Ghost on Trend Dog in the morning. In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. In four-hour recording studio. Recording.

Wake your ass up. It's and Crandons in the morning. I just want to point out, I love the thing of like, it's like calm. I figured it's a good goof. It's, you know, we got to shake them back awake. This is probably the first thing I listen to in the morning. Got to get them up. That's true. Oh, my God.

Speaking of that, man, my sleep has been wacky. I think because I've just been like doing a bunch of stuff and stressed. But now everything's like. What do you mean? Whoa, whoa. What do you mean? What's happening to you? I thought you're supposed to be my rock what are you doing uh well it's just like this year in general just

like a lot of stuff happened not like bad some you know something's bad something's good just like a lot of a lot of stuff's happened so i'm like all right but now everything's starting to calm down but here's the thing when i get anxiety, that's like the worst kind of anxiety. I feel like I've mentioned this before, but what happens when I try to sleep. What do you mean by sleep anxiety? In what way? Are you like worried about sleep? What is going on with you?

So what happens is normally if I'm doing well, I'd go to sleep, put my ASMR, like a podcast in. I'm asleep in like five to ten minutes or something but sometimes uh you get the insomnia hits and then you sit there and you lay there and you maybe you fall asleep for like 10 20 minutes then you wake up and you're like uh and you're like what the shit and then you lay there and you try to go back to sleep and you can't and then you just lay there more and then you toss and turn you're just like and then you lay there and you try to go back to sleep and you can't. And then you just lay there more and then you toss and turn. And you're just like, ugh. And then you look and then like an hour's gone by and you're like, what the shit?

And then like an hour and a half's gone by and you're like, what the shit? And then you start worrying because you're like, oh, God, am I even going to sleep? What if I don't get enough sleep? What if I wake up tomorrow and like I'm just super tired and like, oh, my God, what if like I never get good sleep again? And your body and your mind just start thinking of that and then that's what goes through your head so the first thing you think of is like what if i never sleep again because i heard of a thing of a documentary like when i was 12 of some guy that had a disease where he couldn't ever sleep again and that's i know it's like one in like a billion

people or whatever but i was like dude what if i have that disease now you mean you get a lot of work done that's for sure and then uh and then i usually fall asleep that's how wild i don't have that at all if i like wake up in the middle of night i'm like oh man how much time do i have left? Still about three hours. All right. I feel like that's good. And I'll put my head back down and go back to bed. I'll be like, all right.

I'll see if I can make it. And then I'll wake up and be like, oh, I'm so tired. Why are they? And then, you know, just go on with my day. Well, sometimes I'm able to do that. Sometimes I'm not. Usually I can fall back asleep pretty easily. But sometimes I just have trouble falling asleep. Usually I can fall back asleep pretty easily, but sometimes I just have trouble falling asleep.

But I've noticed as I've lowered my caffeine, it actually is easier to fall asleep. Sure. I think yesterday I had coffee later in the day, so I think maybe just the caffeine was still in my system or something. That actually had wine late too, and i know alcohol can mess up your sleep alcohol knocks me out that's my problem if i drink i uh i'm like a sleepy drunk do not yeah i i'm very good about knowing what my limits are because there's a certain point where like a switch flips and i am high i go from being happy to tired. Real quick. You're getting REM sleep. You're just getting like stage one sleep or whatever.

You're not getting the deep sleep. I mean, I try to deep sleep. Well, that's the problem. Alcohol, it inhibits that. So you can't. Well, you know what? If I drink enough, knock my ass out. If I drink enough, then I'll get that deep sleep.

Look, all I'm saying is I might have had a lot of wine today, Crandor. I might have had a lot. What kind of wine? We had a red that tasted like, I don't even know. It was bitter. It was like an organic wine, I think, made from grapes that tried to fight back. It was a flavor. And then we had a white wine that was on the sweeter side, but it was very smooth.

And then a little bit of a rosé that was pretty nice. We ran the gambit of wines. Mamma mia. Yeah. That was over the course of a whole day. So it was like, you know, we weren't like down, but it was, you know. We watched the movie Rain of Fire. Have you ever seen the movie Rain of Fire?

I have not. What is it? Holy crap. Imagine a movie. Let me just pitch you a film. All right. Imagine a movie in the early 2000s Featuring Christian Bale Christian Bale

And I think maybe the last role he ever did With a British accent And Matthew McConaughey Not just Matthew McConaughey But buff ass Matthew McConaughey Matthew McConaughey looking ripped Shaved head Crazy American guy.

The premise of Reign of Fire is in the early 2000s, the turn of the millennia, in merry old England, in London, they accidentally dig up dragons. And the dragons soon sweep over the earth and burn everything. And so the last people alive must band together to fight the dragons. And so Christian Bale is like this dude who leads a small group of English survivors. And Matthew McConaughey is like the leader, the general, I don't know, of a group of American soldiers. And the two of them kind of like, we don't trust each other, but we have to work together. That kind of vibe.

It's crazy. The movie's crazy. Here's crazy here's the thing visually still holds up very well the dragon cg all of it looks really good i don't know how or why it does but it looks great and uh let me just say wonderful bad film like it's you know it's one of those like Very good but bad movies What makes it bad is it just the like Cheesy lines or something Not even the cheesy lines It's so weird It's like the pacing is strange

The uh there's a moment Later on that I don't want to Spoil that is phenomenal But it's also like what the hell There's It's very strange but it's also like, what the hell? It's a very strange movie. It's incredibly entertaining, yet you know that it's not good.

I don't know how to describe it. It's a movie where you're watching, and you're like, damn, that was great. But you also know why it wasn't a big box office success. If that makes any sense at all. Yeah, no, I get that. in a big box office success. If that makes any sense at all. Yeah, no, I get that. Yeah, there's something about it that's really,

like, a great example is you can tell that they shot scenes at different times, so all the outdoor scenes are clearly shot during one time, and all the indoor scenes are shot at another, because Matthew McConaughey's buffness and beard size changes. All the outdoor shots, he's super ripped. And his shirt's always off and his beard's longer and scragglier. But on the indoor shots, he's always fully clothed. And his beard is a little bit shorter for some reason.

Every time. And only after a while, when you really focus on it, you start to notice, like, wait a minute. This isn't correct. I don't know what he was filming But I've never seen him that buff Like he is ripped It's crazy And um yeah it's

It's a weird movie but man It is It is super enjoyable Well do you see there's a new Nick Cage movie With the pig Yeah called pig we've been talking about that for a long time. Everyone wanted us to watch that. Wait, we've been talking about it for a long time?

Yes, every time. Literally every time we bring up Nick Cage and go to his IMDb, we mention Pig, the movie about a truffle hunting pig, and how Nick Cage is hunting for his pig. Now it's all coming back to me now. The problem is that the movie trailer does not make it seem like the cool action movie I thought it was going to be. Yeah.

It seems like a guy who's going through some shit. Like he's just having a midlife crisis about his missing pig. I thought he was going to be like guns blazing like, where's my pig? Yeah. I thought he was going to be like guns blazing like, where's my pig? Yeah, I mean, I'll still watch it, but you can hope and dream, right? Yeah. I mean, every Nick Cage movie's got some sort of, it's got the Nick Cage vibe to it, but sometimes it's a little too slow paced, sometimes it's a little too long,

but sometimes you get like a Mom and Dad or a Wally's Willy World or whatever the shit it is. Do you think maybe we should do a watch party of Gone in 60 Seconds? Do you think that's something we could do? I haven't seen that movie forever, and that's some quality Nick Cage. And like when Angelina Jolie was like a little crazy. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. I feel like that would be fun.

In fact, I don't know if I've ever seen it. You've never seen Gone? Oh, my God. That's the one remember he's like he's like let's ride that whole scene no one can see me doing it but y'all knew what I was doing with my hand if you see the movie that like let's ride yeah oh yeah I've seen like the clips and I've seen the movie trailer but I don't think I ever actually saw it it is certainly a film watch that. That's a must watch.

There's so much stuff to watch. I'm, yeah, very excited. Now that the world is slightly, yo, I was going to say the world's slightly returning to normal so I can watch movies again, but I don't know what's going on, man. Here in LA, things are weird. People are no longer wearing

masks. Some people. Because they, I assume, got their vaccine or just are lying. Either way, some people are not wearing their masks. But all employees still have to wear masks? So I feel weird because I'm seeing people go into stores with no masks, but I'm like, also,

should I wear it because the employees are wearing it? I just don't know. There are no rules, man. There are no rules, and it's weird. I mean, here in Chicago, they made it so you don't have to wear a mask if you're vaccinated. So, I mean, I haven't really. But at the same time, our cases are down to 100 people a day, which I imagine is people being like,

I'm not vaccinated, but I'm not going to wear my mask. And then, you know, they go out. I saw a tweet from a guy that I follow who was like, so I got COVID and I'm vaccinated and I've been like wearing masks to take care of myself. But basically, I just mean someone close to me did not get vaccinated and gave me COVID. And I want to let you know, if I ever find out who it is, I'm coming for you. And I was like damn! Okay. What did he say how bad it was? Because I know if you get the vaccine

it makes it not as bad. Oh, he said he thought he had a cold. And it was like he thought he had a bad cold and he went to the doctor and the doctor was like, brah, you got COVID. And he was like, what? A lot of people are like, oh, the vaccine makes it so you can't get it. But really it's just if you do get it, which is less likely, the vaccine makes it so you can't get it but really it's just if you do get it which is less likely it just makes it so you're not gonna die essentially you're

having any like really bad yeah yeah and so he was just upset that someone he's like someone i know gave me covid i want to let you know i hate you and i was like that's a vibe i feel that tremendously like if you want me to hang out with you you best have gotten a shot or i'm not gonna I hate you. I was like, that's a vibe. I feel that tremendously. If you want me to hang out with you, you best have gotten a shot, or I'm not even going to talk to your ass. You can stay on the other side of the internet. I mean, I would do that any day over COVID. What did I get?

I got fatigued, and then I got some soreness for like eight hours. Yeah. I would rather get a shot and be like, well, I got sick a little, but at least I'm not dying. Yeah, and now I'm practically back to normal now. I'm just doing whatever. Yeah, there's a lot of like 18 million something people In California got a shot Which is like pretty good But I don't know

I feel like most of it's in SoCal So I'm alright I don't know A little worried I think Hold on I was going to bring up a thing By the way

I think it was like 64% of all adults Have at least gotten one vaccine shot I think that's what it was like 64% of all adults have at least gotten one vaccine shot. I think that's what it was. Yeah, I think I heard something like that too. Which is, you know what? For this country, that checks out. There's usually a solid 33% all the time who are against everything all the time. Now that's true.

Yeah, there's usually a solid 33 that are just like F it, don't tell us ever what to do That checks out 64% checks out to that, sure That's, uh Yeah, 64, just get it up to 69% and it'll be nice Yeah, if we just hit that 69% It's a good meme

And, you know, America can officially say 69% I was gonna say If anybody's got any sleep tips, leave your sleep tips below for sleep anxiety. Because I feel like this just, I know I'm, like, dialing it back now, but I feel like this correlates to the way we think. Because you think, when did we do that episode? That was, like, a year ago. Maybe, yeah, it was definitely during 2020.

Yeah, it was, like 2020 yeah it was like the way we think and it was like you think in word words or like you don't think in words i don't remember how you think how do you think it's good good okay let's say uh you're trying to come up with an idea okay what goes through your mind? I will sit there and I will think about the idea in writing this script that I'm doing for this video I'm making.

I'd have little flashes of inspiration and I'd write down little notes and then I would I sat down and started just writing a script and as it came out of my head, I'd go back and I'd redo it again and redo it again and redo it again and redo it again until i had like oh well this seems like it's something that i want to say and you know whatever came to my mind is i thought through things and i would just be like well that doesn't

make a lot of sense let's change this you know like when you're thinking through things like what do you do it like are you picturing these things happening in your head? I'm not sure I understand. What do you mean? Like, picturing what? Like, give me an example of, like, something that we're doing. All right. So let's say in your script you're like, all right, this guy goes down to a bar and starts talking to a dog.

All right. He just goes down to a bar and starts talking to a dog. Alright? He just goes down to the bar and starts talking to a dog. Do you picture that in your head? Um, I don't. I would not picture the guy going to the bar. I just would understand the concept of a man going to a bar and doing all of that.

Like, in my script, the scenes that I know I want to film, I know where I need to get those from because I've experienced those scenes, so I know where to find that stuff. Or the footage I want to film I know where I need to get those from Because I've experienced those scenes so I know where to find That stuff or the footage I want to use If I talk about like a boss fight I know where That footage is going to be Or if you know I

If I have an image Of a Scene that I want edited or something In my head I can explain it And be like so there's like a joke Where I talk about a snake tail and the goof is that eventually it's like just a snake tail wearing armor and so i just like described it but what i found out is when i said what i was thinking to my editor he looked at me

like i was a crazy person because he didn't understand what i was saying so i literally had to break it down he's like oh that makes So I feel like, and this happens to me all the time, where I have something in my head and when I describe it, because I probably didn't visualize it in a way that's like the ripe red apple sat upon the table, its wood was a dark brown, because they don't do that. I'm just like, yeah, so it's like an apple on a table, right? And then like, you know, it's just like a brownish table. And then like, the camera comes in, gets close with the apple, and then the apple

like, you know, it's just like an apple. And I'm sure people are like, well, can you specify? And I don't do that because in my mind, the specifications are already there, and I didn't have to like think it up. It just existed. I can't really...

You just don't see anything no I uh even when talking to you right now everything I'm doing is reactionary I'm not thinking so the things that are coming out of a mouth are not being thought out I just I'm talking at you so in my mind as soon as let me tell you what I thought as soon as you said what you were saying

you were like there's a snake and instantly my brain went to like you talking about the Zul Drac snake or wherever that Zul places it literally is the gun drag snake yes that's exactly what I'm talking about I literally pictured you standing up at Blizzcon showing the snake and then I pictured

the snake and then you said it had armor so I just threw like plated armor onto him but I could only see like the back end cause like that's all you can see in the gun drag thing and here's the thing the video that part of the video is literally what you're describing so when I talk about it we show the clip of me at BlizzCon

like 12 years ago Jesse at BlizzCon it's so weird oh my god I look like a fat faced baby boy um 12 years ago at BlizzCon? It's so weird. Oh my god, I look like a fat-faced baby boy. Twelve years ago at BlizzCon, and then the next clip is literally that snake tail, because the goof is,

and wow, I asked them what it was, and they're like, we don't know. And I was like, if this was Final Fantasy XIV, that snake tail not only would have had a purpose, but would have been like a main character for two expansions, right? And so the joke is like, when I say that, then it's like the snake tail, only would have had a purpose, but would have been like a main character for two expansions, right? Right. And so the joke is like when I say that, then it's like the snake tail, the actual tail, but in armor. It's literally what you visualized. That's what we did, except I didn't visualize it.

I just knew that's what I wanted it to be without having it in my head. Which is crazy. I don't know how to describe it. I think it's because that's the only way I can think. So when that's like the only way you can think, it's hard to think how someone else thinks. I mean, I will talk to myself in my head. You don't just picture things.

No, I don't picture anything. Like I'll say stuff to me, but it isn't like you can do it just or anything like that it's literally just like all right this is what i gotta do today i gotta do this this this oh this is a good idea remember that shit like i'll have an idea be like okay remember that remember that idea and then i'll try to get it written down as soon as possible because let me tell you i will forget that idea with without fail i will always forget the idea so i have to write it down as soon as possible in the all right in the youtube episode i'm gonna find that old episode and link to it just so people can go back and listen to it for like an hour but here's what i was thinking this is what brought this all on i was outside and we were taking a walk at night uh me and toaster when

we were just walking at night and i was like it's crazy how I come up with ideas because I just picture stuff but I'm like I don't get how someone like Jesse comes up with ideas then because here's what happened in my mind I was like alright I'm going to come up with ideas right now so I look up at the stars and I'm like dude what if those stars could like haul other stars

so I was like I pictured in my mind a star like taking a rope and he goes over to a star and he like lassos another star. And he's like, come on. And he just starts pulling them along. But then the trees could soak up their star power. So the trees are, like, and they have, like, this aura, and they suck the stars into the tree. But then the rocks steal the star power from the trees, or they kind of share the star power.

So they sit next to the tree, and it's like a weird photosynthesis thing. And I thought all that up. What the hell did you just say? Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You said the stars pull the other stars, like tow them, and that the trees suck up the star juice? Yeah.

I mean, that's what a sun is, technically. So that's kind of like photosynthesis. I think that's what she said. She's like, isn't that just photosynthesis but i'm like yeah but this is like the real living things now like this is a star and he's trying to haul the other star but he's getting sucked down into the tree your wife is a patient woman let me tell you so like that's what i do is like i create these things in my head where i just see everything playing out and then once it all plays out in my head, I'm like, all right, now I can write it down.

Which is why I think with my anxiety stuff, when I'm laying there trying to go to sleep, in my mind, I'm picturing like, I can see myself tomorrow. There I am. I'm just like sitting there like, oh God, I feel so tired. I wish I slept.

And I'm like, how do I change that? How do I do this? I picture all these things in my head. I think maybe that's part of it like i can't picture tomorrow even when you were trying to talk about it right then i was like can i see myself tomorrow i cannot what i saw when i thought about tomorrow was the ad read for a future ad i like was all i was like i was, let me think about this. And then I was like, no sugars or GMOs.

Am I right? Major allergens are not. Oh, right. Yeah. That is what I saw. I couldn't picture myself tomorrow. I pictured the only thing that was in front of me, which was my screen. That's insane. That's crazy. Yeah, but like, I don't, there's never been a part of me that's like,

then the stars lassoed the other stars and then they fed the trees. I would never, ever think that. Ever. It would never be an option, which is why I'm glad I have you in my life because I would never experience this. I would never think this ever. It would never cross my mind. I think that's why when David Lynch talks about brain fish,

I kind of get it. But you don't get it. In my mind, I'm picturing those brain fish. I'm picturing everything. And I'm like, alright, I kind of get it. That's what I do. I don't do brain fish. Here's the thing, but maybe I do

do brain fish. I will say the first but maybe I do do brain fish. I will say the first thing that maybe this is what it is. You're a brain fisherman. Oh boy. This is a crender. We are going down the crendal rabbit hole now. You are

a brain fisherman and you fish up things from the brain river, right? You're at the shore fishing up stuff. You're taking your time, and you're sort of reeling it in. You have the right bait, and you have all this stuff. And when you get it, you're like, oh, what a great idea. I am like a brain bear in that I sit at the waterfall and wait for the fish to come jump up

and I grab it with my mouth at the last minute because that's how I get ideas. They just come to me really quick. It isn't even like I fish it up. It's just, oh yeah, this is a joke. Or yeah, this is a thing. And I just really quickly, very quickly go through it. And I'm only reactionary.

99% of what I do is reactionary. I think you're right. I think you're onto something. Yeah, you just wander down to the river and just pick a fish you just do like here we go got one I'm like all right if I just go to this spot I might get a good fish but you got to go at like 2 a.m when they're really biting and when it's raining that's when they really get there and then you just but you you just walk over you're like, oh. I honestly think that's it. I think that's, wow. You know what?

I'm like a brain bear. I think I understand how you think now. See, look at that. All we had to do was connect to the river of thought, and here we are. David Lynch. That's all we needed. Oh, man, speaking of, like, imagination stuff, I found an article on, like, why we stopped playing with action figures when we were kids, or, like, why we stopped playing with action figures when we were kids.

Or, like, you know. Yeah. What do you mean, what? You know, I'm just, you know, I just know a guy who colors various dinosaur creatures. All right. I don't know that you ever stopped, is what I'm saying. That's the point. It's like, when we get get older we still enjoy doing it but it's like a different type of thing it becomes like mastery

of it and like creates like all this stuff when you're a kid you're just like this is batman he flies around like i don't sit in my basement like i used to being like all right spider-man here we go there are some adults that still do that, but I'm not one of those. I paint my intricate models of Warhammer. That's very different. But you do video games, which I think is just a more interactive version of like, alright Spider-Man, pew pew pew pew. And here's the thing, I think everyone has that kind of thing.

Everyone has a thing that is a replacement for something they loved as a child even if they insist it is not true uh yeah no i agree with that because everyone everyone has it they have to i refuse to believe otherwise yeah because it's like well the reason okay so i was going to mention the article. So the article says, at first, when you're like a kid, your toys help you develop through the stages of, like, development. So at first, a toy lion is just like a toy lion. But then later on, you might use it to be like, oh, now he's like the Hulk's mount and he can ride around and blah, blah, blah. And you're like, develop little stories for your toys so it's like your brain is being like oh okay I'm able to like create things it's not just some toy now now it's like right amount for the Hulk or like shit like

that so it's really like why we enjoy doing it as kids is because it's like developing our creativity Yeah I think that's Absolutely true Everyone I've ever known Who had any type of Figure or doll or whatever It was never about Barbie wasn't Barbie Barbie was Something else That then even if you were a brother

And your sister had a Barbie That wasn't Barbie that was like Someone else that related to your action figures, right? Or if it was still Barbie, it was like, I'm Secret Ninja Barbie, right? It was never what it was supposed to be. That was most of the fun. All the toys you got as you messed around with them. A great example is I got a board game for Christmas one year and I can't remember what it was. It was like a

D&D board game where it came with little figures. I never once played that game like it's supposed to be played. I would just play with the little figures that it came with because they were like badass barbarians and monsters and shit and I was like, let's go. I would never.

I still couldn't tell you how to play that game no clue but i had great adventures with it oh yeah no i even remember like when we played like when i first played warhammer when i was 12 i wouldn't know that shit there's like a 300 page book i would read through it like this is neat but i couldn't tell you like one thing about the rules so we would just play like my orcs hit you on the if you roll a five like we did it all right we just like knock them over and then i would be like i'm gonna draw a thing and then down the line you're like what if i play it properly with my developed brain now you know that's the that's the start hitting that stage can i tell you the most leg thing I did as a kid. Alright. So, I loved Mega Man,

but at the time, I didn't own a Nintendo. My parents were like, there's no reason to get one. Your uncle says a Super Nintendo's coming. Right? So, they wouldn't buy me a Nintendo because they told me to wait for Super Nintendo. Admittedly,

I was the first kid in the neighborhood to have a Super Nintendo. It was pretty great. But, until that time, I had no consoles. Nothing. Andittedly, I was the first kid in the neighborhood to have a Super Nintendo. It was pretty great. But until that time, I had no consoles, nothing. And I'll never forget that I still got Nintendo Power because I wanted to be like in on all the Nintendo stuff my friends were in on. And in Nintendo Power, every time a new Mega Man game would come out, which I loved, but could never play, all the artwork from those games and all the bosses and stuff were in the Nintendo Powers. And so what I would do is I would trace all the bosses, cut them out, and on the pieces of paper

that I drew and colored in the different characters to make my own Mega Man Adventures with just pieces of paper. Oh, my God. to make my own Mega Man adventures with just pieces of paper. Oh, my God. So, yeah, that's what I did. Go, Mega Man. Honest to God, that's what it was. And everyone had, like, a voice.

And, like, Mega Man, and I had Rush, and I had Roll, and I had, like, all the different people. And then straight up just all the different bosses. And they'd be like, it's me, Dr. Feilly. Watch out, Mecha Man. And I'd do the whole thing, but it would just be like crappy printer paper. I remember being a kid and being mad at my one friend because I was like, you're supposed to be Mumbo from Banjo-Kazooie, not this character. I don't know why, but I was just really mad.

Well, I think that's a part of it as well, is when friends come over and their idea of what those make-believe characters are is different from yours. You're like, no, that's not G.I. Joe. Yeah, it's like your worlds clash and you're just like, get this guy out of here. Yeah, you find out who your real friends are very quickly. Get out of here! In fact, I remember... Ninja Turtles don't do that! I was so into sports that I just developed my own sports leagues that I would play with myself.

So I'd take the football and throw it to myself and I'd be like, oh, any scores? Or I'd toss a little wiffle ball, golf ball up and hit it like I was playing baseball and I'd be like, oh, and I would keep track of my stats. You and I are living that only child life. It's what is happening. I was about to say, yeah, yeah, I did that too.

I would always score the winning home run. Every time. Every time. But I would be role playing as all the various like sports figures. So I'd be like playing as all the various like sports figures. So I'd be like, oh, this is Sammy Sosa up the bat now. And then I'd bet. And I'd like, it was like I was playing in my own league I created. And I would do that while watching TV of actual sports.

That's what I'm saying. I think all that stuff like fantasy leagues and even just being on it, like rooting for a team. Most people who root for a team are like i am a part of this organization it's like no you're not you're just they don't know who you are but you feel it because that's kind of it's that little holdover from childhood which just goes to show i think this is true and i'm gonna say it because it is being a kid was way cooler than being an adult as a kid you wanted to be an adult so badly and now that i'm an adult sucks it's terrible i'd rather be a kid any day it's also uh well with like sport it's also a sense of like belonging like yeah i'm part of the team we're part of the team it's

like family is a group and so it's just like we need to make the trade why aren't we making the trade um i've read a lot of sports forums there's yeah uh just listen to any sports radio oh my god oh my god okay speaking of that so i often listen to sports radio yeah just because i like you know so i turn it on the best is the best callers are like the anything past like 11 p.m you get like the people calling in drunk uh and this one guy i just put it on like 6 p.m and he calls in he's like the cubs don't the cubs need they need some high heat they need high heat and they need it now and he was like uh kevin uh kevin what are you drinking it's 6 p.m kevin are you drinking and he's like cubs need high heat do you hear me they need high heat and they're like kevin

i you need to get help all right you need help and he's like i don't care what you say the cubs need high heat and then they like cut him off and he's like, has anyone here heard from Kevin before? And they're like, ah, Kevin is apparently a frequent caller at the 1 a.m. radio. But listen, Kevin's kind of right. The Cubs do need some high heat. That was a green one. He wasn't really going in-depth about it, though. I mean, he just needs high heat.

And then my favorite. One time I turned on like 2 a.m. and he was like this guy was like a super meatball and he was just drunk. He was like if they're gonna make him play on the bears what are you doing? And he's

like, what are you talking about? And he's like, I just think it's these guys. I just don't know what they're doing. And I was like, this guy in a span of like 20 seconds has said literally nothing. He just says, I don't know what they're doing. And I think he just doesn't know what they're doing. I was honest to God about to ask,

why is everyone calling drunk? But then I realized it's Chicago. So I'll be like like what else are you gonna do it's like you know literally like that'll go from like it's like oh slightly it's like a it's not as bad as like New York and Philadelphia but it's like it's you know bordering up there or it's just like one day they're like dude Matt Nagy best coach I ever seen you should win coach of the year then the week they lose're like, this guy should be fired. Honestly, I could call a game

better than him. And it's just every week just alternates. Being on the internet, I understand that. I understand that you can not please anyone all the time. Or whatever the hell the phrase is. Look, like I said, I've been pleasing myself with wine tonight.

So yeah, whatever. Yeah, so then Like I said, I've been pleasing myself with wine tonight. So, yeah, whatever. Oh, yeah. So then really just going back to the article, you reach your preteen teenage years and then you essentially start to get more into relationships and just forming friendships or romantic relationships, whatever. And then you go from being like, batman to like girlfriend or like whatever and then uh you know you start hanging out with your friends more right that's when you start like like seventh eighth grade you're like i'm gonna go hang out unless you're mean you're playing video games uh so that's why they said at this stage development

is called the formal operational stage where you can use complex logic not just a causes b but also that b causes c and c causes d and might relate back to b and you have an improved ability to form abstract thoughts so essentially your brain getting in the way of being able to just enjoy the toys. Sure. And so you kind of move past it. So what happened to you exactly? Well, you hit nostalgia and you're like, man, remember when I was a kid and it was great and you just played with toys? And then you start playing with the toys again and you're like, yeah, but now I can like master painting. And I can build.

Now I have money. Now I can buy my own toys. Exactly. I get it. I get it i get it and i think that's why people do that it's like why people get back into cars because you know they like cars villain like matchbox cars and then they're like now i got my garage filled with cars and then people get back into action figures probably it's like i'm a collector of action figures and i have like a pristine 1974 Batman exclusive. Like people just get back into it because they're just trying to relive their childhood in a way or just kind of have fun like they did back then.

I was going to say none of that really corresponds with my dad, but then I realized I'm a liar because that man, I remember in his forties when he had a Game Boy. That man had a Game Boy. He had Tetris. We would link up and we would play. All I'm saying is there was a time that man had a Game Boy. That man had a Game Boy. He had Tetris. We would link up and we would play. All I'm saying is there was a time that man had a Game Boy. Usually I don't ever think, I'm like, what does my dad do for fun besides walk?

I don't know. And I was like, oh, he has fun. Well, I mean, did he walk as a kid? I't i mean i think he i don't know i don't know if that was here's the thing if i'm about i'm about to get a call from my parents they're gonna be like actually your father was a huge kid walker as a kid he would walk everywhere and now it's full circle i don't. I bet I'll find that nonsense out. Yeah, you got to find out now. They'll definitely tell you.

Did they ever tell you about other? It was like something with like stories from something. I don't remember. It was like three weeks ago. What? It's not worth it. Dig deep to your brain fish and figure out what the hell you were talking about. Vacations.

Vacation stories. When we were talking about childhood vacation. Yeah. What about it? You're like, my parents will probably tell me some story I forgot about. Did they ever tell you any stories they forgot about? I don't think so. I don't remember though. Honestly, that's how I get through life is I don't remember what happens a week ago.

It makes life much easier to not picture tomorrow and not remember a week ago. If anything, living in the moment is doing pretty good for me. I'm a lot less stressed than I should be. I wish I could just flip a switch. Honestly, I feel like that's what meditation helps you do is being able to go back and forth, but I need to do that again.

Well, oh, look at you. Look at that. I didn't even try to segue that. Ladies, but I need to do that again. Well, oh, look at you. Look at that. I didn't even try to segue that. Ladies, set it up.

Oh, that's not how you say that in the sky with the cred door I guess We're flying around I just finished my coconut water Which by the way, I love coconut water now. That's my new thing I've moved on from yogurt. That hurts the tummy now.

Now I just take my probiotics through pill form. And now I'm drinking coconut water. Specifically, Harmless Harvests coconut water. So, like, if they want to sponsor us... Oh, my God. I'll drink, like, so many of these coconut waters. You don't even know. There's traffic out there. Back to you.

I hate coconut water. You don't even know. There's traffic out there. Back to you. I hate coconut water. What? Sorry, sponsorship. I'm not a fan of coconut water. I don't know. I don't like the taste. It tastes funny to me. I'd rather just have normal water.

Actually, Toaster Woman doesn't like coconut water either, but I do, and I don't know why. It's got, you know. Something about it. But it's got your calcium. It's got your potassium. You got 10% of But it's got your calcium. It's got your potassium. You got 10% of your daily potassium in one serving. Phosphorus, magnesium.

It doesn't taste right. There's something about it that's funky. Well, I'll tell you what. Harmless Harvest coconut water. This is some good coconut water. You know what? If they want to send us some free ones, I'll give it a shot. Oh, yeah.

That would be great. Yeah, there you go. Dude, I'm telling you. This stuff. I just drank 32 fluid ounces of coconut water. Oh, my God. Well, half the day. I drank like a pint of it today and a pint yesterday.

Damn. I love this stuff. You are coconut powered. You're doing great. And then I just bought some more. I love it. I need more coconut water. Okay, doing great. And then I just bought some more. I love it. I need more coconut water. Okay, well, I guess you can keep drinking while we do the weather. Oh, I can't because I drank it all.

Oh. Well, weather. Alright, so on the weather, let's kick it back to the last podcast. Crandor isn't crazy. Pineapple is rough on the old gums. That's what I'm saying. I feel like we shouldn't discuss that anymore.

It seems like a lot of people agree with you, and I think they're crazy. I don't want to make fun of our audience. I don't want to do that. I believe in the poll, it was I it was 30% agreed with you or something. Well those people I like to call the strong and we will inherit the earth when everyone has died from pineapples.

The great pineapple purge. The most delicious purge. Is there a place called pineapple? No. What about Ananas? Isn't that like what the rest of the world calls it? Ananas?

Ananas? What? Isn't that what it is? Ananas? Ananas? Ananas? Ananas? What?

Pineapple is not called Pineapple in most places. Ananas? Anananus? What? Pineapple is not called pineapple in most places. Anananas. Anananas. Anana. Anananas. Oh my god, you're right. Anananas. I'm just saying.

That sounds like a banana. Maybe. Ananana. Ananana. There's a picture of a creepy pineapple walking around. Look at that. Look at that. Oh, Jesus.

It didn't even link right. It just linked to a bunch of... Oh, no. Oh, no. no, no. There's a picture of a creepy pineapple walking around. Look at that. Oh, Jesus. It didn't even link right. Just linked to a bunch of... I don't know what it linked. I like this one. It's a pineapple and, like, a little flamingo floaty. I think that's pretty nice.

Yeah, maybe there's, like, a nananas city. City. City. There's a Ananas. Ananas. Ananas, Kuwait City? What? Oh, it's a bar.

Oh, it's a bar. Oh, in Kuwait. Okay. I thought that was like, what? No, it's a bar. Yeah, Ananas. Yeah, we got nothing. Let's see. We've also got...

We could do Kuwait City. Kuwait? Kuwait? I always feel like I'm saying it wrong. Yeah, but I could just pick some ones. Let's go to... I bet Kuwait City is lovely, Crandor. I bet it's lovely there right now.

I'm sure it's lovely. We've got a place in Honduras called Yoro, where once a year there's a big rain of fish, and between May and July people gather the fish to eat them. And it's considered a miracle, and nobody can explain it. They just rain from the sky? I guess. Fish rain.

What? It's totally true. What the hell? Yoro Yoro Honduras. How to see the fish rain. 72 degrees in Yoro. 3% chance of rain through 12 a.m. You got your high of 72, low of 67.

Humidity 88%. 29.97 inches of pressure. 5 miles visibility. You got 2 mile an hour winds. 68 on the dew point. 0 on the UV. Moon phase waxing gibbous. You got your hourly forecast.

It's a lot of 70s. Let's drop the 10 day. You got 66 tonight. Monday, 91. 88 on Tuesday. Let's drop the 10 day. You got 66 tonight. Monday, 91. 88 on Tuesday. 88 on Wednesday. 88 Thursday. 85 Friday.

And pretty much a lot of 80s and a lot of PM thunderstorms pretty much every day. So rainy and hot in Yoro Yoro. But I don't know about fish rain. Oh, this is wild So It's been confirmed In the 1970s National Geographic Had a team there that witnessed the event live And Basically the thought process is

Every May or June Since the 1800s A large yearly storm rolls through And has like crazy heavy rains And I guess Once the storm passes, there's just fish on the ground. And so the legend is the fish fall from the sky, but there technically is no actual,

no one knows if it's because waters rise or the wind, or if they get sucked up by a squall. Like, I don't know. I'm reading about it right now. And it seems pretty like we, we don't't know. I'm reading about it right now, and it seems pretty like... We don't really know. They just show up, and sometimes...

Didn't we read a random fact about the fish tornadoes? But there's no tornadoes, though. I mean, tornadoes can suck up fish. That's true. Yeah. We had that as a random fact. But this seems like... The photos of this make it seem like this is a lot of fish. People are saying maybe it's flash flooding.

I'm looking at it right now. The photos are crazy. That's incredible. Fish rain. Fish fall from sky. Oh my god. That is crazy. Yeah. If you Google Yoro Honduras fish rain, wild.

Yeah, there's so many articles about that. This is fascinating stuff. I don't know how it works, but it's fascinating. Annual rainy season comes with fish. Wild. That's so weird. You learn something new. Huh. Annual rainy season comes with fish Wild Huh That's so weird You learn something new

Huh, well And it relates, and it relates Sorry Kuwait, I was trying to vouch for you But this relates to what we were talking about before About brain fish This is rain fish Yeah, there we go, look at that, all ties back All ties back

Also I found this picture Of of fish rain on a farm. There's just a cow that's like, oh, it's raining fish again. I know I see that, but I just saw the pineapple creature, and I am shocked. I'm shocked that I'm going to use that as the thumbnail for this episode. Oh, yeah. No doubt. It's the weather. All right.

And sports. Sports. Over at the old sports desk, we got sports. Over in basketball, the NBA playoffs are all set for the Final Four. We got the Phoenix Suns up on the Los Angeles Clippers 1-0 in that series and then the Atlanta Hawks will take on the Milwaukee Bucks in that

series. I'm rooting for the Bucks and the Suns personally. I like both of those teams more than the Hawks and the Clippers. Over in hockey, Vegas beat Montreal in overtime. Series tied at two. And it looks like New York and Tampa Bay also tied at two after the Islanders beat the Lightning.

And the baseball is still going. The Tokyo Olympics are, I think they're, like, getting started now. We're almost there. Yeah, it's coming along. Eventually we'll get there. It's a month away, and I believe they're, like, all reporting in or something. So it's happening. So, yeah, it'll be interesting.

And, I mean, that's, you know, it's pretty much sports. Okay. What is our weird fact that you probably just found of the day? Woo. All right. Let me just scroll through and pick a random fact here. Here we go. Sea lions can dance to a beat.

Sorry, what? Sea lions can dance to a beat. Sorry, what? Sea lions can dance to a beat. But, like, you know what? All right. I'm just going to say I accept this. I accept that people have tried to make sea lions dance to a beat. They're like, all right, yeah, I accept it. There are only two mammals on Earth with the proven ability to move their bodies in time with an external beat.

Humans, though not all humans to be fair and sea lions when researchers at the university of santa cruz rescued a stranded sea lion in 2013 they found that she was very smart and she was even able to learn how to dance though parrots can also keep a rhythm it was previously thought that only animals capable of complex vocal learning could do this. I don't know. I've seen other things. I don't know. I've seen other creatures dance to a beat, right?

Like a dog or something. I had to have. I had to have. I don't know. Now I'm going to have to search for that. I had to have. I've had, I had to have. I don't know. Now I'm going to have to search for the, I'm going to, I don't know that I believe this one. Only sea lions? I don't know. This is true.

There's got to be a dolphin somewhere that like wiggles to the beat, right? They probably get it. I don't know. Are they actually wiggling to the beat or are they just wiggling because they're being told to? Great question. I don't know. Like the dog might move because it's like, you know, move, and then it dances to the beat because they trained it to.

But it's not just like the sea lion just hears the beat, and it just starts grooving. You don't got to tell it anything. You know? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. You don't got to tell it anything. You know? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I just don't know that I believe it. It seems too convenient for sea lions. Well. They're just sea dogs anyway. So normal dogs should be able to, like, you know, like, move a little, get a little funky. Yeah. Maybe they just learn more out at sea. Why would that be the case? You ever seen a little mermaid?

You're right. I was going to say, of course I have, but you're right. Under the sea. That's probably where they learned it. That's what I'm saying. Random fact of the day. Big news story of the day saying. Random fact of the day. Big news story of the day. Big news story of the day.

We got a good one recommended. Oh my God, I'm in a whale's mouth. Lobster diver describes being swallowed by humpback. I need to let you know, we talked about this story on Chaluminati. It's crazy. This is a crazy story. You all need to hear this. All right.

A little crossover here. Crossover. A commercial lobster diver who got caught in the mouth of a humpback whale off the coast of Cape Cod on Friday morning said he thought he was going to die. Cape Cod Hospital that he was about 45 feet or 14 meters deep in the waters off of Provincetown when all of a sudden I felt this huge bump and everything went dark.

He thought he'd been attacked by a shark common in aerial waters but then realized he could not feel any teeth and he wasn't in any pain. Then I realized, oh my god, I'm in a whale's mouth and he's trying to swallow me. That's so wild.

I don't know how to describe the fact that this does not happen. Most whales, maybe killer whales where they grab you and play with you, right? Because they don't know any better. But whales don't eat people. And most of the time, big whales like this, they have the stuff in their mouth where they filter out the water and they just get all the krill or fish or whatever. So this dude being in a whale's mouth is insane. This simply does not happen.

Yeah. Let's see. After that, he thought to himself, okay, this is it. I'm finally, I'm going to die. His thoughts went to his wife and children. He estimates he was in the whale's mouth for about 30 seconds but continued to breathe because he still had his breathing apparatus in then the whale surface shook its head and spit him out and he was rescued by his crewmate in the surface boat his sister cynthia packard originally told the cape cod times that her brother broke a leg but he said later that his legs are just bruised charles stormy mayo a senior scientist

and whale expert at the center for coastal studies in provincetown told the newspaper that such human whale encounters are rare humpbacks are not aggressive and mayo thinks it was an accidental encounter while the whale was feeding on fish, likely sand lance. That dude can just tell people he got eaten by a whale. Here's the crazy thing. This is the thing that makes the story even crazier. I don't know what article you're on, but if you go down to the very

bottom, the last paragraph I think should give... In every article I read, the last paragraph is like another whole level to this story. That's where mine ends. Hold on. What if I go to this one?

Oh, that's where it ends? All right. Well, let me just tell you another thing about this guy. All right. This dude, when he was younger, was in a plane crash in the jungle. He was, I think, one of the only, I don't know. It might have just been him, but I think a few other people survived But most people died in the plane He hurt himself terribly

And they survived in the jungle for several days What the shit This guy has led a very Unlucky life Oh my god So you just get eaten by a Whale you get Almost killed in a plane crash.

That's what I'm saying. Maybe he like lives too dangerously. Maybe that's the problem. Like I don't put myself out there to be eaten by a whale or end up in a jungle. Like, I don't know. My God. Yeah. I think, uh, I think I'm good just staying home and playing with my Warhammer voice. Everything you say to me now, yeah, everything you say to me now makes more sense. After I heard that story, I was like, that dude was just minding his business and he got Pinocchioted. Straight up Pinocchioted. Mamma mia.

Yeah, that's quite the story. It is. All right, well, that is it for us. Thank you so much for listening or watching or enjoying this podcast. Crendor, hit up the socials. We got so many socials. We're on the Spotify. We're on iTunes. We're on YouTube.com
