A very specific type of scientist. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's how I'm feeling. Really? Like a scientist turned animal scientist? Pretty much. Or animal turned scientist animal.

Yeah. I mean, either one is viable. Right, right, right. It's the same thing in the end. I've just been doing my neck exercise. My neck is, like, stiff. I don't know if I'm just sleeping bad or what is it. Well, I mean, you're all muscle now.

You are all brute strength and force. That's true. You're all, like like a punching machine. Like if you ever turned to violence, the world would be for a world of hurt. That is true. Yeah. No, that sounds about. That sounds like me.

Oh, yeah. No, I'm like. Yeah, I think so. I've been doing the thing where you, like, roll out your back. You know, one of those rollers. That's felt pretty good. And I've been, like, massaging up in my suboccipitals. Yeah, no, me too all the time.

Now, imagine, like, for the people who don't know, where is that? That's the base of your skull behind your. Holy shit. Yeah, no, I knew yeah no i knew that i knew that so like you got your neck right and if you go up there's like those two bones at the back of your skull and it's kind of up in there where your skull connects to your neck in a way so those get really tight if you have terrible posture like people that sit at the computer so probably everybody listening. But other things that make them like looking at your phone,

looking at your switch, looking at literally anything where your head is just down, and you have bad posture. So most people have tight suboccipitals. So you get up in there and you're like, oh, I've got to get my occipitals oxidated. Oxidated? That's not right. I mean, technically, I guess it could be Because you're kind of

Breaking up muscle stuff And getting more blood flow So I mean it is oxidating Well my parents are On the Cren train now Oh We were in a car ride For six hours the other day

And my mom and dad Had one of those You know Fister weapons You know what I mean? What? Fister weapons? What?

You know the thing that you have that, like, punches you. Oh, the massage gun? Yeah, the massage gun. Fister weapon. You know, they have one of those now. And even though they said that they saw it on, which, by the way, is the most parents thing in the world, they said they bought it because they saw it on QVC, which is even funnier. I was like, people still watch that?

I talked about this, like, a year ago. We were watching QVC. Well, they love it apparently, and they saw it on there, and now my mom and dad use it all. We were in the car, and the entire time it was like a constant brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr too much too much i'm telling you it's great on the it bands and it's great on the calf muscles it made me think about like do i want one like they seem to love it do i want one i'm like nah

that would just jiggle i wouldn't get any muscle i'd just be like yeah i wouldn't help me at all well uh did i mention i think it was like a week and a half ago or something. I like strained my neck, but now it's better. So I was doing... How'd you strain your... Whoa, whoa, whoa. How'd you strain your neck? So I was doing my pull-ups, right? And I thought I warmed up enough, but apparently I didn't.

That was my problem. So normally when I do pull-ups, I'll either do like five, and then I like walk a bit, and then I do five more, and then I walk a bit, and I do five more and then I walk a bit and I do five more. Sometimes I push it for the see how many I can do. So I was like, I did 11 pull-ups and on the 12th pull-up, I was like, I can get one more in there. I went up and I was kind of like,

and I felt something like tweak a bit and I came down and I was just like, and I felt it and it was strain. I was like, yeah, that's not good. So I just did cardio. Well, that was a great story. Good story about the oops and the oops and the us. But I got up to 12 pull-ups.

That's good. One day you're going to be that guy who's like, I do 801 afternoon. I'm never not pulling up. Every day, I'm always pulling up, down, left, right. I'm pulling everywhere, bro. I mean, how many pull-ups is normal? How many pull-ups is normal?

Yeah. If you go by the average, I say one. I would say, based on total population, one pull-up is the average pull-up let's see how many pull-ups can the average person do okay let's see what this says uh this person said my guest my guess is the vast majority of the population can't do one so let's run down to zero yeah if you just average it all down i'd say one. Yeah, if you just average it all down, I'd say one. Maybe like.3. If we just average it all down.

Yeah. It also probably varies because somebody like me, I only weigh like 130. So I have less to pull up than somebody that weighs like 200-something. Right? Right. But in theory, the 200-something would have the like, the muscle strength in his or her arms to, like, pull them up. But that's not the case. No, they're like me.

It's like, what about rollovers? I can do, like, 20 of those. What about, like, hamburger chomps? I can do a lot of those. Hold on. Here we go. Somebody's got this pull up percentiles. This one says if you are a pull up percentiles are more rarely available for youth.

According to some website, the 50th percent for pull-ups for males at age 10 is one number increases to three at 13 and seven at 17 and i guess after that it's like eight is the amount you should be able to do when i was uh in high school we used to do them all the time uh i think we had to do in gym class we had to do 10 right like we we purposefully they made us do a mile and then we had to do push-ups and pull-ups and sit-ups and that was like you know all right i did that that was fine now mind you that was third 20 years ago yeah 30 years goes too long 20 years ago yes um. 30 years ago is too long. 20 years ago, yes. So, yeah, I mean, you know,

I haven't been, like, trying to do pull-ups. I don't even have a thing to pull up. What do you mean you don't have a thing to pull up? Like... Your body. No, I mean, like, a bar. Oh. And if you're like, well, just put a bar up in your house.

If I do that shit, that bar's coming down If I put all of me on one bar That bar's coming down It's over for that bar That bar is done Yeah, I mean I don't even think I'd trust a pull-up bar in my house That's what I'm saying Like maybe at a gym, maybe

But I'd be way too like Nah, these gym guys are gonna judge me Cause I'm over here doing one like, I got it! Yeah! Yeah! I'd be like in their faces like, yeah! And they'd be like, bro, do you want your pre-workout

mix or whatever, or whatever kind of drug cocktail we got? And I'd be like, give it to me, bro! Yeah. I feel like most people just don't. It's one of those things where people feel like they're being judged at the gym, but 98% of the people don't care.

Yeah, they don't care. They're just doing their own thing. Unless they're people that go there specifically to film stuff, in which case, they're the weird ones. Yeah. Every time I see a person and they're at the gym and they're like filming people at the gym or themselves working out i'm just like yo you're you're weird bro you're the weird one yeah no i haven't i mean listen i go to the gym five sometimes six times a week and i don't think i've ever seen that happen or i've never seen anybody

like stare at someone be like dude well that guy's fat and he's working out what a loser or like wow that person's so skinny they can't even lift weights what a loser right like i just haven't i haven't seen it right i i think that's also because you go to like a wellness center. Yeah, it's like a more of a wellness center thing where they have a lot of people who are like older people are there and people that like, you know, like me, where you start crippled and then you become fit. So that makes, I guess if you go to like Planet Fitness or something, you're probably more prone to fitness. You go to a place where the old men are freely walking around nude in the locker room. Yeah. Compared to, like, you know, Planet Fitness or Gold's Gym or where it's literally dude bros and, like, dude bro girlfriends all the time. Or people looking to become dude bros and or dude bro girlfriends.

Yeah. Yeah. It checks out. um it checks out however i get i think those are probably the best way to go too just because i feel like they're also cleaner oh agreed 100 100 a wellness center is like we have to take care of people that like could die of a cold yeah Yeah. So it's, you know, that's... What was I talking about? Pull-ups? Pull-ups.

We got here from pull-ups. Oh, yeah. That's the path we took, yes. Anyway, so I was doing pull-ups. So then I had to, like, slowly work back to just doing my normal thing. Like, doing my forearms, my arms, my upper body. I do my leg day. Usually I only have like one or two leg days.

I actually enjoy leg day. Some people hate leg day. I'm like, no, dude, leg day is great. What do you do for leg day? What is your leg day routine? Is it just you get in that one machine where you push with your legs? No. I do that machine as well, however.

But, I mean, that's not the only thing I do. That's usually for your upper legs. Yeah, you got to get that butt looking well, however, but I mean, that's not the only thing I do. That's usually for your upper legs. Yeah, you got to get that butt looking good, you know what I'm saying? You got to get that tush looking very squeezable. You got your adductors. You got your abductors. So I usually do those machines. Right, right, right.

For your ass ductors and your ass ductors, right. Then I'll do calf raises big fan of calf raises simple to do huge fan of ass raises yeah yeah then i'll do deadlifts i got nothing for deadlifts but yeah deadlifts are probably my favorite because that that works like oh my god that's like half your body's getting work from dead lifting uh that's pretty usually i'll do i don't go crazy with like some people like yo how much can you dead like i'm not trying to set a max i usually just do like 10 reps of a few sets and just usually that's enough to be like whoo because usually my knees get sore too so i can't go crazy with a lot of leg stuff

because my knees are just like not even know why well that's welcome to getting old yeah so I usually just do that and then once my knees start being like I'm like alright I'm done and then I just do like a little bit of cardio in there and it out that's good I mean like I'm

very impressed about your consistency with all of it I think you're doing very good when it comes to many times a week. I think that's awesome. Is Toast joining you on these adventures, or is she just like, that's not for me? No, she'll work out at home if she works out. It's one of those things where I feel like most people don't go to the gym

or they don't even want to go to the gym because they're either like you get home from work you're tired or you got other stuff to do you're like i don't got a lot of free time i got a you know whatever but me i just i've become addicted to it just because like i said you know back in three four years ago i I was falling apart. And then you start going to the gym. You get your feel-good chemicals. You start becoming fit. You feel healthier.

You get your dopamine. You get healthy dopamine, unlike when you play League of Legends and you get your unhealthy dopamine. You feel good. It helps your blood pressure. It just helps everything. And so it's just like, why wouldn't I want to go? I mean, good points all around uh i have not yeah i haven't done any of that but good points good points all said you're working out for a while yeah and then uh i got caught up in some stuff this happens all the time. All the time.

I will start working out. A bunch of things will happen. I'll be like, I'm feeling great right now. And then I will just get caught up in some other stuff. I'll be like, well, all right, I'll work out tomorrow. And then three weeks go by, and I'm like, no! It happens all the time. We've talked about it on this show a million times. It's my character flaw as a person is I will just put other things before myself.

Like, all right, well, I said I'd do this thing, so I got to go do this thing. And I promised I'd be a part of this, so I'm going to go do this. And I said I'd do this. Literally, this past week, this is a great example. This past week, this is a great example. This past week, I got invited to film a small thing that I can't necessarily say exactly what it is. But they were like, hey, we would love it if you and your parents filmed a thing with us. And it's going to be great.

And we'll pay you a ludicrous sum of money to do it. And I was like, I'm in, baby. So I talked to my parents. I was like, you guys are going to love this. You're going to get to see what it's like to do what I do frequently. You can come be a part of this. And then you get to actually be on camera with me. And it's sort of like a parents react thing. It was very fun.

And originally, it was set up as it's going be in la and i was like oh okay i'll just drive like i don't need i don't need a place to stay i don't need anything i get on i get on the first conference call to like plan out how this thing's gonna be shot and the first thing i said is like all right so we rented a studio in oakland and I'm like, Oakland, California? And they were like, yeah. And I was like, what? And so immediately after the call, I'm like, sending out emails like, time out. I thought this was in Los Angeles. And I said I could drive.

But like, y'all have it seven hours away now. It's in another city. And they're like, well, what can we do for you? And I was like, I mean, it's too late to do anything now. So get us hotels and I'll just drive with my parents up to San Francisco. And so rather than it be a one day thing, it's now a three day thing. And I'm going out of my way to try to make this like the best thing possible. And now I have to drive six hours up, six hours back.

So my Wednesday and Friday are now totally gone like great cool and so and i didn't complain didn't say nothing was like i can make this happen thankfully i have a very good agent who was like don't worry bro i got you but like i don't know it was uh one of those things where i just was like, I don't want to make a fuss. I'll do it. Like, that's fine. I'll make it happen. No big deal. And everyone's like, oh, you're so easy to work with and so pleasant.

And I like that vibe. I like the idea that people expect me to be like a good person to work with. However, I'm that way because I sacrifice everything else. I'm like, yeah, it's fine. I'll just do it. Don't worry. What do you need from me? Yeah, okay, I'll go. I'll do it. Again, I think this goes back to my, I'm a much better follower than I am a leader. If I could have someone just be like, Jesse, I'm taking you to the gym. I'd be like, all right, let's go. I wouldn't fight it. I'd be like, okay, yeah go i wouldn't fight it i'd be like okay yeah that's fine let's go i don't know i'm i i consistently put other things ahead of myself constantly you

need me to drag you to the gym constantly yeah i just need see this thing if i lived next to you and you were like ding dong neighbor let's go i. I'd be like, okay. And I'd just go. Because someone would interrupt my flow. Because I get flows of thought and something will happen, I'll just stick with that. Or I will have an idea and I'm like, oh, I need to work on that. And I'll start working on a thing. And a whole day will go by and I'll be like, oh my god, I forgot all these other things I wanted to do. I'm very bad at that.

Again, I need a human being in my life who just bosses me around i'd be a very good minion like like if you need a toady if you need someone who's like yes master yes like i would be that guy for you um but i feel like even though you'd probably have like some Brian deal thing when you're like oh I can't go to the Gym today I got this well I The problem is is that I have This like weird lack of motivation Thing where

I know I'm like all right so Today I'm gonna get this thing done In the morning and I'm gonna go Work out and then I'll wake Up and be like oh what if I like Laid in bed for another hour? Yeah, that feels good. And then I'll lay in bed and then I'll take a shower and be like, oh, I don't have time to work out anymore.

I guess I got to go do this thing. And I'll like rush the rest of my day and be like, you know what? We'll try again tomorrow. It fails every time. Like I know what I need to do. I'm the worst kind of person because i know what i need to do and i simply don't do it well i think most people know what they need to do it's like how you know you need to eat healthy but you eat mcdonald's still or you know you shouldn't smoke

but you smoke anywhere you're like i shouldn't have another drink then you have another drink or i should work out but i don't work out. Most people know what they have to do. The hard part is actually doing it. Yeah, well, I mean, thanks, Dad. That's every conversation I have with my father. Come on, bro. Every conversation is either, did you work out? You should work out. Are you seeing anyone?

You should see someone. How is work? You should be working more. Are you making is work? You should be working more. Are you making enough money? You should be making more money. Do you want to buy a home? A home is what you should buy, not rent. Those are every conversation I have with my father.

Every single one boils down to those things. I feel like I'd relate very well with him. I think so too. Every conversation is that. And it's like, you it's it is any conversation no matter what it is eventually becomes that we could be talking about um like when we like when we're driving up to san francisco we could be talking about the mountains in the distance and he'll see the mountain like look at that it's so beautiful and i'm like yeah i mean i can't

really look at it because i'm driving but like what i see seems nice he's like this country of ours this world is so amazing so beautiful and it's just a shame that you're not sharing that with anyone i'm like what are you what you could own that mountain you decide to buy buy a property. Yeah, he's like, it's just a shame that you're not spending your life on this beautiful planet with another person. And I'm just like, what are you, what do you mean? It'll just, it'll always steer to something like, you know, buying a house. It's a solid investment. You should be buying property, Jesse, instead of renting. And I'm like, dude, you got to give me a break.

I can only do so much, man. I love the tweet you did where he's just like ranting in that video. Like, it's amazing seeing how you work and what you do. And your mom's just like, it was fun. Oh, my God. The entire trip. Oh, man. You just reminded me.

They would let me listen to my music, which is fine. But then every so often they'd be like, turn on the news. So we turn on the news and then hours would go by of just news. But the problem is news on the radio is the exact same news over and over and over again. And so they had no problem with that until the very end of the trip. As we're pulling into Los Angeles again, my mom realizes, I think she had an epiphany or maybe she, I don't know, she's like, the news is all the same.

I was like, oh my God, we've just been listening to two hours of it. It's going crazy. It really is, though. It is. It's because every hour, especially if it's like TV news, every hour is a new host. And all they do is rehash the same stories, assuming that it's like, well, people only tune into my show. So if you're watching news all day, you're only seeing the same things over and over and over and over again.

It sucks. Yeah, but with different people. Yeah, they do that in sports, too. They're just like, oh, last night LeBron James tried to make a play, but he got hit in the head. What's going on with that? And then they go to the next guy and they're like, LeBron James got hit in the head. What's going on with that?

And you just keep changing hosts, and you're just like, all right, I get it. I don't care. Yeah, it's not entertainment. I don't know what it is, but frankly, I don't like it. It must work. People keep listening. Yeah, I guess. I just can't. I imagine because they listen to the one person they

like, which is fine, but it would be like if you went on YouTube to watch someone complain about a movie and then you just watched eight other people give the exact same complaint about a movie. I mean... Don't... You know what? I realized as I was saying it, that's exactly what people do as I was saying

it I realized that's exactly what people do yeah I think there's just something to like hearing other people's opinions and seeing if they line up with yours or like seeing how you agree with so I don't know yeah just confirmation bias just like they agree so it must be correct yeah Yeah, I don't know.

It is a little wild when you think about it. But let me tell you one thing I've been doing. Okay. So on my YouTube channel. Oh, no. I've gotten a little David Lynch-esque. So I was at Trader Joe's, and i saw they had an advent calendar and it was a sloth advent calendar oh my god i'm on your channel right now i hate this i was like dude i have to

do this sloth advent calendar this is before i even filmed anything i was like i just need to get this and then i had the idea of like i could just do one of these every day for December. And so I was like, all right, I'm going to do that. So I started doing one a day advent calendar YouTube short style things. And I just, I opened the advent chocolate of the day and I eat it and I talk for a bit. I hate that. Here's the thing. Fantastic idea.

I'm going through them all now. Yeah. It's all chocolate that in your camera looks roughly the same shape i mean in real life it also is roughly the same shape yeah i was expecting to be like oh there's weird things in every single one but it's really just the exact same like you open it like oh a piece of cake no it's all right well it's a little brown chunk of chocolate. Well, and to add to that, the chocolate tastes like advent calendar chocolate. Oh, great. I don't know the last time you had an advent calendar.

I mean, it was a long, long time ago. That's for sure. I think I was in grade school, like sixth grade or something. It was a while ago. And eating that chocolate brought me back. It was the exact same taste. It's like the really shitty, plasticky, like it feels like it's got like gas trapped in it from like the factory. And you're like, mmm.

Oh, that's that good gas though. Yeah. That factory gas. And you taste it and you're like, you know what? This brings me back. But then on day like three, you're just like, I mean, it's, you know, Advent calendar chocolate. But then yesterday, we had, I had like a few glasses of wine

and then I had like, it's like fancy whiskey. And then I was, you know, post after that. And I was just like, oh, but I was like, man, this Advent was you know post after that and i was just like oh but i was like man this advent calendar chocolate hits different after that so you know you you're getting all the like the different blends of advent calendar when it's like you're you have different moods different experiences every time you open that advent calendar and that's what it's all about i just the fact that there's now a category of chocolate called advent calendar and that's what it's all about i just the fact that there's now a category of chocolate called advent calendar chocolate it is a thing it is true it exists yes that's what i'm saying and now is every day for until that calendar's done on christmas i'm opening advent

calendar chocolate for the youtube channel i uh i looking at it right now, and I will say, love the box. Chocolate, not so much. Chocolate just looks like little tiny, like, just mold it to look like a house. Why a house? I don't know. A holiday. Home for the holidays. But, I mean, that's like what every advent calendar is unless you spend like a

bunch of money or something i don't know uh i also realized your um banner at the top of wild crendor right i'm trying to figure out what the hell's going on in this obviously it's you and a computer I see that But from left to right Some type of Sonic the Hedgehog Warrior And then Skittles Obviously And then a

Crocodile man with a crossbow Oh yeah And then a frog No no a crocodile being launched out of a blue man group cannon a troll i've never i don't think you've ever played a troll i don't know who that is i have played a troll it's my wild leveling character is it really yeah it's a troll well there you go troll and then there's an image of you i think uh trying to like Sit up I don't know what's going on over there And then some

Kind of Kigurumi cosplay Thing at the end And you look very annoyed by it Yes I don't know how old this banner is Oh it's very old this is like Old Dan Tan art style Oh yeah this is great

But it's one of those things where most people don't even go to the YouTube channel page. I'm not going to update it. I don't give a shit. Well, they should go there right now. They should go there right now and look at this because I love that. That's super fun. You guys will start watching the Advent Calendar series.

The best part is that I'm not even hitting youtube short qualifications because it's supposed to be under a minute but these are all like a little over a minute but i don't care i was about to say it's awesome you're doing youtube shorts and i realized they're a minute 51 seconds i listen i'm not gonna i'm not gonna like cut my video short just to fit it into the YouTube short algorithm. I'm just going to let it roll however long it needs to roll. My favorite comment is, these videos posting the day after the one in the Advent calendar is such a Grendor thing. I keep posting them at like 2 or 3am

So maybe one day I'll actually post it Before that Maybe today's the day Maybe today's the day So yeah I've been doing that What is Hold on Advent calendar history.

When did they start? Advent calendars can be traced back to the 19th century when families would mark every day in December until Christmas with a chalk line. Originally, the four-week period known as Advent began as time for

converts to Christianity to prepare for baptism? Huh. I didn't know that. German-born Gerhard Lang is considered to be the producer of the first printed Advent calendar in the early 1900s. Apparently, with the outbreak of World War II, cardboard became rationed in Germany, and Lang was forced to close down his business in the 30s. What the sh... It was forbidden to produce calend his business in the 30s what the shit it was forbidden

to produce calendars with pictures at the time instead the nazis produced their own version of an advent calendar a pamphlet which included images of swastikas and tanks being blown up what the shit merry christmas everyone it's like what he got in this one. Like chocolate? Like no war. Okay. I was just hoping for chocolate. Every day is a new bullet. But after the war, Richard Selmer of Stuttgart created a calendar based on a more traditional winter town scene,

and it was called Little Town. There were no tanks being blown up or exhausted. scene and it was called little town there were no tanks being blown up or uh by 1946 the taken up commercial production of advent calendars and was producing them in mass and the 50s calendars were exported to the u.s and have become more affordable you goofed because the one you should should have got is this 49 pokemon 2021 holiday advent calendar. Ian said a chocolate each day is a new Pokemon. What? Wait, like a little plastic one? Oh, my God.

Yes, and the best part is the Squirtle looks like he's going to throw down. He looks pissed. He probably is stuck in an advent calendar for half his life. I can't figure out why they chose the Pokemon they chose. They're all over the place.'m fine with it though i like it but it's a weird pairing they probably just picked the they also have a halloween one oh yeah i see that they probably just picked the one small enough to fit in there it's like yeah yeah just give me the tiny yeah there's no toga p like i don't see Snorlax here.

It's getting snowy. It's getting rainy. It's getting cold. It's getting wet. It's getting, uh, those are the things it's getting. So traffic is bad. Plus people starting to travel for holidays or they're coming back from traveling. They're doing the old bing bang.

Don't know what that is, but they're probably, you know, they're doing it. Either way, that's the traffic. That's a bad traffic report. All right. Now let a bad traffic report. All right. Now let's go to weather. Weather. Well, let me tell you about weather. It's getting cold.

It's getting wet. It's getting wild. Is that a warning for me? It could be, yeah. Great. But here's some place it's not any of those. Flagstaff, Arizona. Here we go.

Someone on YouTube requests Flagstaff, Arizona, and gave us some fun facts. Pluto was discovered at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. Famous Route 66 runs directly through Flagstaff, and the Flagstaff is the city with the highest elevation on the historic route. Hotel Monte Vista, Weatherford Hotel, and Museum Club, among other places in Flagstaff, are believed to be haunted. Museum of Northern Arizona houses more than 5 million southwestern artifacts. And it is located in the world's largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest.

I'm on their website right now trying to figure out what's going on in Flagstaff. Well, currently for the weather, it's 63 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny. Pretty nice over there. degrees fahrenheit and sunny pretty nice over there it's uh 18 humidity pressure 29.9 inches 10 mile visibility seven mile an hour winds dew point 19 ev index one at 10 with a waxing crescent moon 10 day that's uh 58 45 on tuesday 47 on wednesday th Thursday, 42. Friday, 33. Saturday, 37. And then it's going to get back up to the 40s and low 50s after that. Wow, that's colder than I thought it'd be in Arizona.

Is that nighttime or is that actually on the day? Damn. That's crazy. That's like the weather here. Chicago. Like, really? Is that happening in Arizona? Hold on. Like, this? Is that happening in Arizona? Hold on.

Like, this is. What are you? Wait, what have you discovered? What is going on? This is like the middle of Arizona. So, like, what about Phoenix, Arizona? That's like a little further south. Are they cold?

Well, I mean, it's the desert. So, I imagine in the winter, it's freezing. Just like in the summer, it's scorching hot. Right? I guess in Phoenix, it's freezing, just like in the summer it's scorching hot, right? I guess in Phoenix it's like 70s and 60s. So, I mean, that's like a little bit south, but... Maybe it's elevation then? No.

It's so high up. I think you're right, because they mentioned it's very high up. That makes sense. Oh, my God. Look at that. Wow. Elevation. Wow.

That's the weather for there Unless you found some crazy facts No I'm looking at Flagstaff And everything that you can do there Is related to hiking or mountains or whatever Look Flagstaff seems lovely Not for me though The only It took to

On the top What is this The things to do in Flagstaff It took down to number Where was it 18 The Mother Road Brewing Company before I was like, oh, I'd go see that. I'd go to a brewing company. Yeah, I'd go to a brewing company.

Everything else is like Wet Beaver Creek and Lake Mary and the Red Mountain Trail and the Buffalo Park and the Mansion State Historic Park and the Historic Railroad District and Flagstaff Extreme. I don't know. It's bungee jumping, it looks like. Yeah, I could go look at a volcano monument. None of that is like anything I'd be like, oh, I got to do that. I'm not a hike up into the mountains kind of person unfortunately unfortunately for all those you know single coeds out there who like

hiking i'm sorry i'm just not gonna be that guy damn um there you go that's the weather place all right let's go to sports. Sports. We got big sports news today. Football has happened. Cowboys Saints. Cowboys beat the Saints on Thursday. Colts shut out the Texans. 31-0. The Detroit

Lions finally won a game, beating the Vikings 29-27 on the last play of the game. Good job, Lions. They will not go winless. You know what? I'm not sure. I don't want to give them that hope.

You know? Like, at least they were winless. At least they could, like, restructure and do it. Now they're like, guys, there's a chance. Well, I mean, there is no chance of any other. But, like, guys, if all the other teams were to vanish tomorrow, we'd be first place. That is true if that could happen.

So there you could still hold out hope for that. Dolphins beat the Giants. Buccaneers beat the Falcons. Eagles beat the Jets, which, by the way, Gardner Minshew played. I don't know if you knew this. Not only did I know that, everyone told me. Today, everyone was like, Gardner Minshew, bro. Oh, I'm aware.

Yeah, so today, take a look at that game. Gardner Minshew stats, I believe, were pretty good. He had 20 of 25, 242 yards, and two touchdowns. That is pretty good. And he led them to a victory over the Jets. However, the Jets are kind of bad. So we'll have to see how he does against better competition. But still, pretty solid.

If you Google, not Google, I guess go to Twitter. I guess you can Google it too. At jclarknbcs. I guess he's with the Philadelphia NBC Sports Station. He has a video of Gardner Minshew and his dad, and they're like losing their minds. Oh, yeah, I see. I'll send this to you yeah he's just like dude is so proud to have kicked ass and i'm telling you i like it i like

it a lot i like that attitude oh my god yeah i also like that he's wearing a bomber jacket yeah now he's about to go get in his top gun plane and fly away. This is the man. I guarantee he's going to, like, do some crazy stuff, and they're going to win the NFC East. I have that belief. I have to believe that. It's got to happen.

Cardinals beat the Bears. Chargers beat the Bengals. Jaguars currently losing to the Rams. Football team beating the Raiders, and the Ravens currently beating the Steelers, and the 49ers beating the Seahawks yeah that sounds about right yep um over in basketball the Jazz are currently beating the Cavaliers but in terms of standings the Nets are in first place with the Bulls half a game back Bulls actually beat them last night that was a good game

uh with the Bucks the Wiz, and the Heat right behind. Cavaliers actually right behind too. The Eastern Conference is pretty wild right now. 12 teams at 10 wins. Over on the West, you got the Warriors and the Suns both at 19-4. Easily the best teams. Then you got the Jazz, the Grizzlies. By the way, the grizzlies had the biggest

win differential ever the other night they beat the thunder by 70 something points it was actually insane the final score was like 148 to like 72 or something damn damn, it was pretty bad. Over in hockey, Panthers in first place, and the Capitals in first place, Rangers right behind them. Looks like the Maple Leafs are right behind the Panthers. You also got the Wild in first place, and you got the Calgary Flames in first place. So those are your sports. Also, i was watching the bulls game yeah and then i left it on because i was like ah whatever and i came back and they had uh one of those like midnight shows and it was

a curling night in america yes now that's worth watch that's worth saying before so i was just watching that for a bit and i was like like, dude, finally, curling night in America. Been waiting forever for this. Yeah. That needs to be on at like 8 prime time, 8 p.m. We need to make it a thing. There was like some other crazy stuff they had. Like afterward, they had volleyball, but they were using their legs.

It was like kick volleyball. It was weird. What? So they just got a bunch of ninjas together. Yeah, like they couldn't use their legs it was like kick volleyball it was weird what yeah they like so they just got a bunch of ninjas together yeah like they couldn't use their hands they were just used those straight up like leg volleyball uh and then there was like crazy surfing or something but they got the announcer guy who like i guarantee these announcers for these sports are like you got to get into the industry somehow so you got to cast whatever you can cast they're just like, today you're casting kick volleyball. You're like, all right.

And they're just like, oh, my God, Jim Johnson just really got his leg up there and hit that ball and just spiked it. What a marvelous scene. And that was that night. That's sports. All right. Grendor, what is our big factoid of the day? that night. That's sports. All right. Grendor, what is our big factoid of the day?

Big factoid of the day. Children's medicine once contained morphine. I mean, yes. It's like when they used to put booze to make your kids go to sleep. That's true. If you were a baby in the middle of the 1800s and you cried while teething your parents might have given you mrs winslow's soothing syrup this this medicine i love that the soothing syrup uh this medicine claimed that it soothes the child it softens the gums and always the pain it may have done plenty of soothing but it was

also extremely dangerous the concoction uh contained morphine so it explains why it worked just like one of those things back then they're like what if we give people that need to stay awake 500 milligrams of cocaine they're like wow that really makes them stay awake it does it does work there's actually at this is amazing at walmart you can buy a 1895 mrs winslow soothing syrup for children metal sign vintage look and it says mrs winslow soothing syrup for children advice to mothers m Winslow's soothing syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the

little sufferer at once. It produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain. And the little cherub awakes as bright as a button. It is very pleasant taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind,

relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is best known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes. If you're teething so hard you shit yourself, that's a problem. That is a problem. That's a problem. I feel bad for babies. 25 cents a bottle. Be sure to ask for Mrs. Winslow's

soothing syrup and take no other kind for sale by all druggists in every part of the world. I would love it. You know how rappers love them some syrup? I would love it if some guy made a rap

song about Mrs. Winslow soothing sys-ur-up. I would love that. That would be pretty great. Give your kids some sys-ur-up.

I was looking at drugs that used to be legal. Apparently one of the top ones was heroin. Yeah. Yes. It was just marketed

as an alternative to morphine and then they realized that it's more addictive than morphine oh god geez well of course they did i mean at that point you don't know anything you're just like it seems like it works just give it to them it's a different time um so that's your fun fact of the day all right what is our big news story of the day a massive snowstorm left dozens stranded in an ikea i what i mean here's the thing normally i'd be like oh those poor people but for this i feel like they're fine oh yeah they're an ikea if anything that's the best place to be. That's the thing.

So, 12 inches of heavy, wet snow piled high Wednesday night in northern Denmark, coating roadways, grounding flights, and halting train lines. As the flakes fell, a group of shoppers and employees still inside an Ikea in the city of Aalborg soon suspected they may not make it home. Aalborg? Aalborg. Huge Star Trek fans. Okay, yes.

They were right. Six customers, about two dozen employees, and a handful of workers from neighboring toy shop hunkered down in the Swedish furniture store for the night. They made the best of an unusual scenario, Michelle Barrett, one of the toy store employees, told the radio. We just laughed at that situation

because we will probably not experience it again. The storm on Wednesday was the heaviest snowfall Denmark had seen since 2018. On the first day of December, the Nordic country was hit with 20% of the snowfall Denmark typically sees over the entire month. Damn! That's a lot of snow. Last week, 61 people spent three nights stranded at Britain's highest altitude pub.

Most of the customers made the trek to the Tan Hill Inn in Yorkshire to see an Oasis cover band, while others went just for a drink. Wait, how do we get to Britain? I guess just different snowfall strandations. Oh, okay. I was like, how do we get there? Okay. Snow. But they went to see Oasis, which is the most British thing I've ever seen.

And Oasis cover band. But snow and heavy winds brought down power lines. Fallen trees and debris blocked the roadways. And over the next few days, the stranded crew watched movies, played trivia and board games, and sang karaoke. And I would imagine just drank. Oh, yeah.. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. If you're stuck there with an Oasis cover band you're getting

drunk and playing karaoke and doing all this. Yeah come on. However you will have heard Wonderwall 8 trillion times. Yep. There are a few stores that could meet all of one's needs if a blizzard suddenly strands shoppers.

Ikea is one of them. The store was stocked with food and had plenty of beds, allowing the group to embark on Goldilocks-style journeys and choose the perfect resting spot. Store manager Pete Elmrose told Estrabladet, a Danish tabloid newspaper, he encouraged everyone to, quote, pick the exact bed they always have wanted to try. That evening, they watched television and enjoyed stuffed pork, hot cocoa, and Rizzo Malande, a Danish rice pudding served during Christmas time. Rizzo Malande sounds like a dude I used to know in New York. Like a dude I went to school with. Rizzo Melande. Was he rice pudding? He was 99% rice pudding and

1% spoon, yes. Okay, good. As everyone tucked themselves in the bed, Elmo said he strolled around the floor singing goodnight songs. Oh my god. This is the best sales pitch for Ikea I've ever heard. In the morning, they had hot coffee and freshly baked cinnamon rolls.

Get out of town. I want to be trapped in an Ikea now. Are you kidding me? It's like an Ikea bed and breakfast. Yes. Eric Bangzegard, one of the stranded customers, said he was impressed with the service. It was fantastic considering the circumstances, he said. He and his wife, Hannah, went to Ikea that night with some friends to dine on the cafeteria's Christmas menu.

Soon after arriving at the store, the 75-year-old recognized they may have trouble getting home. Despite the less than option. All right. I have so many questions. So a snowstorm is incoming right this is how you know old people don't give a damn about snowstorm incoming and he and his friends are like i'm 75 i don't give a shit let's go get christmas dinner at ikea him and his wife and they just went no concern for the weather and then they got there

and we're like what the hell here's some picture here's some guy i don't know which one it is but i think the old man oh my god this last image is incredible yeah this dude he unbuttoned his shirt he's just like leaning back having the best sleep of his life. Although the question is, why are there news reporters there? I don't know. They must have arrived the next day or something. Now this seems staged. How did the news reporters get there if they were snowed in?

I don't know. It had to have happened the next day. And they're just chilling like, oh, you want some cinnamon rolls and coffee? Despite the less than optimal circumstances, BangsGuard said there was a positive mood among the stranded customers and employees. We were just really happy to have shelter, he added. Barrett, the toy shop employee, was also thankful for the safe, heated place to sleep. It's much better than sleeping in one's car, she told the DR. It's been nice and warm, and we were just happy that they would let us in.

But one thing didn't go to Bangsguard's liking. Uh-oh. He and his wife were eyeing a double bed as they made their way through the showroom looking for a spot, only for their friends to snatch it first. Uh-oh, we got a feud between friends. It's over now. She said, so we took the sofa bed. It was really nice. I would have gone to the other side.

I would have been like, fine, Henrietta. I'm going to the other side of the Ikea. I'm going to go sleep in the bin of children's toys. Because there's always a bin of children's toys. Let's not pretend. Oh, yeah, without a doubt. It's the big stuffed animal. Oh, you know that's the comfiest place there. Oh, yeah. Without a doubt. It's the big stuffed animal. Oh, you know, that's the comfiest place there.

Oh, yeah. No doubt. Oh, my God. Although it is probably covered in germs. Right, right, right, right, right. Yeah. No, you'll definitely die of pneumonia. But like best sleep of your life.

That's true. Yeah. And that was the Ikea snowstorm adventure I am very jealous Yeah, you would think a store like Ikea That's like getting trapped in like a Walmart Yeah Or getting trapped

Although Ikea I think is better than Walmart Yeah Because at least you can sleep There's some place to sleep Yeah, I mean Walmart you probably buy You get like sleeping bags or something I don't know But here you got like actual furniture

Plus they have a kitchen there, too. Yeah, you got everything. You know what? Ikea may be the best place to get trapped. Yeah, I think you're right. That should be on all their signs. Ikea, the best place to be trapped. Well, I definitely need to get in here now.

If I get trapped, it won't matter. I hope we get locked inside.
