Wake your ass up! It's Cox and Crendog in the morning! Cox and Crendog in the morning! Crendor in the morning! Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of

Cox and Crendor in the morning! But sir, the... To... Come on, it's lovely weather for a... I can't sing the whole thing, it's copyright. So I was trying to do an off-branch version. Alright, well, alright, okay. Alright, I i mean that's how you want to do it i wouldn't have done it that way but all right you know like now that uh christmas is over i like tried listening to christmas music

and i'm like nah it's over now you can't do it once christmas music has a certain power yeah when it's the lead up to christmas great love it the minute it is like midnight the 26th i'm like turn it off yeah no once it's over it's like yeah i'm good yeah there's no more need i don't need any i don't need to do it anymore i'm over it yeah uh i do like all the variations on the songs I was realizing because yesterday we were listening to a lot of Christmas music as it was Christmas. And I like the sleigh bell jingling song, but I like it when it's that

one guy. What's his name? Perry Cuomo. Johnny Mathis. Who? Johnny Mathis. Johnny Mathis? Is that a country version? No, he's just like, What's there that just like, Alright. Okay, yeah, I mean, alright.

He kind of sounds like an elf singing it. And I think that adds something to it. I heard, like, a choir singing All I Want for Christmas is You. So then I went on YouTube and watched the video for All I Want for Christmas is You. Realized it's an updated video, not the original video. Then watched the original video for All I Want is Christmas is You, realized it's an updated video, not the

original video. Then watched the original video of All I Want for Christmas is You. Then I got linked to this guy doing a metal cover of All I Want for Christmas is You. So then I watched the metal cover and then the metal cover led me to two remixes of the song. I didn't know they needed remixes. Then that led me to three different versions where it's other bands singing it, but then they mixed it with the music from the original song. So I was just down a rabbit hole, and I was loving every minute of it. That was a pretty fun rabbit hole. Yeah.

I was like, I don't want to laugh. I was having a whole thing. Oh, you have no clue. I was having a whole thing Oh you have no clue I was feeling it Well I didn't go down here I heard I saw three ships Come sailing in

I didn't want to listen to the actual song I didn't want the choir being like I saw three ships I wanted the instrumental Like organ to the actual song. I didn't want the choir being like, I don't want that. I wanted the instrumental organ. So it's like playing the organ. That was my organ. You know what I think you need to get

into your life? Maybe that'll be my gift for you next year. What? The California Raisins Christmas special. I feel like we talk about it. I think we talk about it all the time. I own a copy. It was gifted to me by one of our listeners. I feel like we talk about it. I think we talk about it all the time. I own a copy. It was gifted to me by one of our listeners. I cannot stress this enough.

I love it. I remember seeing it and watching it on VHS way back when. It was on TV all the time in, like, the late 80s, early 90s. It is – it's got the music you want. It's got the goofiness you want. It's got the California Raisins singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Ranger Which is just about the best thing ever

It has Carrow the Bells But one of the bells is an idiot It uh Oh yeah it's great It's got everything What's that mean? What? But one of the bells is an idiot?

Like what's that mean? He can't hit his notes So they're doing They're doing And he's like the low note And he won't He can't hit the note And so The Hunchback of Notre Dame is Quasimodo is the conductor And he's like the low note, and he can't hit the note. And so the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Quasimodo is the conductor,

and he gets pissed off the further the song goes on because the guy can't hit his note. All right, well. I mean, this movie's got great reviews, honestly. Dude, it's great. It has an ongoing gag about the song Here We Go, A-Wassaling, and one of the guys thinks it's always something else. He's like, here we go, a-waffling.

He's like, waffling? What are you doing? It's great. For some reason, it's two dinosaurs hosting a Christmas special. It's lovely. It's very, very good. And some of the songs are, like, super fun, and some of them are silly, and one of them is, like, a trippy Technicolor go-inside-of-a-tree thing.

From what I remember, it was like, whoa, I should be high for this. It's lovely. It's lovely. I didn't get a chance to watch it this year, but let me just say for the record, you would enjoy it. Don't buy it.

I'm going to get it for you. It's my Christmas gift for you I'll be expecting it but I'll forget and so then I'll get it and be like whoa I forgot I was expecting this the thing is you have to watch it maybe even on the stream you have to watch it cause I think

you would love it I'll watch it on stream it's fine with me speaking of watching things cause Toaster Woman's mom's here, so we've just been watching TV and movies. And we watched Christmas Vacation. It was a classic. That's a classic, yes.

Yeah, that was a good one. And then Home Alone 2. I think Home Alone 2 is better than Home Alone 1. That's the Christmas one. Can I tell you what I learned? What's crazy? In Home Alone 3, they got a new kid, right? Now, I've never seen Home Alone 3, so maybe this happens the Home Alone one. That's the Christmas one. Can I tell you what I learned? What's crazy? In Home Alone 3, they got a new kid, right? Now, I've never seen Home Alone 3,

so maybe this happens in Home Alone 3. But the reasoning behind getting a new kid is they said, oh, well, we realized that Macaulay Culkin, who was, I think, 16 at the time they were doing Home Alone 3, couldn't be in it because as a 16-year-old, that would be weird. But I was like, okay, why not have him, you know how there was the old creepy neighbor, why not have Macaulay Culkin be the 16-year-old neighbor of the kid whose house is getting broken into?

Oh, yeah. That would be something. They just have a rivalry. Who can do the best Home Alone? It's very weird to me that they were like, oh, we can't include him in the movie. And then it's like, but just make him another character. Make him the one that shows up at the end to save the kid or something. And the audience would have loved that.

I feel like movie execs were idiots. They probably didn't want to pay him. I mean, that's definitely true. But it's also very weird. It feels like that's dumb to me. That seems like such an easy box office win. I forgot Home Alone 1 is also Christmas. I think Home Alone 2 is better than Home Alone 1.

Strongly disagree. Really? Yeah, Home Alone 2 is whatever. It's all about that Home Alone 1, man. You're telling me that you buy the premise that the two criminals escaped to New York and then were like, oh, that Kevin McAllister. We're going to get our revenge on that kid.

I don't buy that for a minute. Joe Pesci definitely wants to get back at that kid. And if anybody's going to move to New York and get back at a kid, it's Joe Pesci. Can we talk about how Joe Pesci, during the run, he had like an incredible run of movies. He did. Like Goodfellas and My Cousin Vinny and then this. I think they all came out what are the dates on these? I think he had like

one amazing year. Joe Pesci actor what's going on? Oh my god he got a mustache and that is a crazy looking mustache. My man I love that. Movies. Goodfellas then Home Alone

then My Cousin Vinny, 92. Yeah, Lethal Weapon 3. I'm on two. Then Casino. Damn, this man. The early 90s, he was, yeah, Lethal Weapon 3. I don't know that I consider Lethal Weapon 3 great. I don't know that I go that far.

But, uh, yeah, wow. Joel Pesci. Yeah. I don't know that I go that far. But, yeah, wow. Joe Pesci. Yeah. And then he hasn't done anything since 2019 now. I mean, what was his 2019 thing? Oh, the Irishman. Yeah, but that's when they were like, get everyone back.

Yeah. I don't care where they're at. Get them back. Yeah. So. Joe Pesci was in Office Space? Wait, he was in Office Space? yeah so joe was an office space wait he's an office space is that the stapler one yeah what what the hell was he in office i don't remember that at all i don't remember crazy well that's crazy all right well i mean like oh my god he was in a movie called family enforcer holy shit oh no it was called the death the death the death collector wait the movie's

called family enforcer but on wikipedia it's called the death collector well either way huge fan anyway yes moving on um oh yeah anyway we were watching that uh and then we watched you know the classic like snoopy christmas uh your your garfield christmas um you know the the staples right of course yeah and then uh we also watched for some reason they had like the the old sitcom show christmases we We watched King of Queens. Like three episodes of that. Honestly, King of Queens is probably one of the best sitcoms. Really?

It's a solid one. Yeah. You don't like King of Queens? No. I mean, every episode that I've ever seen has been highly enjoyable. That's what I'm saying. But I don't know that I would consider it the best one. What would you consider the best one?

One of my favorites. I can't say all the way. The first couple seasons are amazing. Frasier. I feel like I was too young to watch Frasier. Frasier and Seinfeld are great. But Frasier, for some reason, is like... For the first three seasons, fires on all cylinders.

It's so good. And then it becomes everything on TV. They're like, we've got to find a way to keep this shit running. But for a while, hilarious. A laugh riot. Yeah. I mean, that is a lot of things. That's like The Simpsons.

I was watching a lot of old Simpsons episodes. And seasons three through nine, it's like prime time. They're perfect. Yeah, they're so good. Yeah. And then it kind of falls up, but it's also one of those things where you can see in seasons, you know, season one and two especially of The Simpsons. It kind of is like its own weird show. I don't even know how to describe it. I don't know if they were like, we have to make it something that I don't. I remember being in sixth grade.

Mrs. Parker, rest her soul. I know she passed away many years ago. But Mrs. Parker, I remember her saying to me, like, you shouldn't watch The Simpsons. The Simpsons is evil. And I was like, whoa. And that was during season, I think, one of The Simpsons, I think. Season one. So like. Season one. So, like.

Oh, wow. Season one? That was the. I mean, The Simpsons at the time. The Simpsons was like, you know. I think people forget The Simpsons had a stigma to it. Where it was like, this kid talks back to his parents. And the dad chokes the kid.

And, like, the mom. There was a huge thing. Oh, yeah. That's true. It's weird. Yeah. The comedy wasn't played for, like, goofs. It was played Oh, yeah, that's true. It's weird. Yeah, the comedy wasn't played for like goofs. It was played for like, ha-ha, intellectual laughs.

Like go back and watch some of those first episodes. It's weird. It's a totally different show. And then eventually they were like people like Homer. He's goofy. People like Bart being a bad boy. Lisa is the smart one. Maggie goes squee and like sucks on a pacifier.

And Marge is like, and that's it. That's the show. Oh, me. Yeah, that's it it that's the show oh me oh me yeah that's it that's the show yeah and it works once you uh season four it i think what i enjoyed about it is that they hit like their prime it's like the they have the blend of like every style of humor like they have dry humor they have like slapstick they got like a little bit of everything and they do it all really well. That's what I noticed. I'm just going to say, Conan O'Brien needs awards for his work on that show.

Oh, yeah. The seasons where Conan's on it, you can absolutely tell, oh, this is going to be funny. Yeah. He really does. American talk show host, oh, Conan. Oh, old man Conan. I always forget how old Conan is. I want to live as gorgeous looking as Conan is into my, like, what is he now?

God, like 80s, 90s? However old Conan is. He's 58. He's almost 60. He said he had a career slump and then he failed in The Simpsons. These are his episodes, by the way. The monorail episode.

Homer Goes to College. The wraparound bits of The Treehouse of Horrors 4. He had all sorts of different things. He created the character of Captain Horatio McAllister, a.k.a. the Sea Captain. He named Patty's iguana Jub Jub. Good one.

I love this. It's very good. Yeah, how long did he work there for? The 90s, I guess, in the middle of the 90s. Yeah, he was there right when they were hitting their prime time. Yeah. It was very good. Monorail one's probably one of the best ones ever.

It's like a top ten. Yeah, it's one of the ones he wrote, and it's very, very good. It's got everything in it. It's got all the things you could want. It's like the Leonard Nimoy.oy isn't that yes i think yeah very very good so yeah i would i would suggest going back and watching those if you haven't in a while because i i went on a big streak where i just started watching all of them that was just it's funny because like when you're a kid and watch them you're like hey funny and then you're

adult you get all the like subtle humor they put into those, which I realized once you hit past season nine, the subtle humor is gone. Yeah, it's gone. It is. What sucks is that the world, and I'm to blame for this because I remember because season nine would have been around this time. When I was in high school, when Family Guy came on, when it first came on, I think it came out my senior year of high school, I think. And we were all enamored with it. We thought it was so edgy. It was edgy as shit. I remember we were playing it in one of my English classes during a study hall.

It was on the TV, and we were dying of laughter. And I look back on that, and I'm like dying of laughter and i look back on that and i'm like oh we killed the simpsons because we thought that like we like oh he said an edgy joke but like when you look at it family guys the same like five jokes over and over and over and over yeah you're like oh oh this is this wasn't as good as we thought it was yeah i just love uh i just remembered the one where you the college one you mentioned where he like goes and they're all in like the big college room and homer's there and then the professor guy tells some like witty joke and all the people laugh and then he drops his papers drop his notes what an idiot it's so good it's just all those like witty things like that

yeah i love the uh they're like hello dean it's just like a really nice guy and he's like screw you dean it's so good yeah they're uh it's it's like look that may be it's not a sitcom, though, but that's definitely the best comedy show. Yeah. By far, hands down. I guess, would The Office be a sitcom? The Office is wild to me. The Office has two or three perfect seasons, but the rest of The Office is super hit and

miss for me. The first season, they really try hard to make it seem like the British show. So I kind of hate half the characters. And then it gets very funny. It, like, finds its groove. And then they were like, okay, so I think it's after the whole Michael Jan thing. Yes. Once that's done, like, kind of like, eh, whatever.

No, it's the same. It has that same thing where they hit their peak and then it just kind of pales off. That's not to say there aren't some incredible episodes mixed in, but overall, you're like, all right, well, this is, it had a good run. I definitely like the three-season model of Netflix. If they can do it right. Sometimes they just cancel the show after three seasons because F it. But most of the time there will be a three-season thing where it's like,

here's a thing, here's a thing, and here's the resolution at the third season. You're like, you know what, I like that. But they don't do that anymore. Now they're just like, one season, canceled. It's like, oh, well, I guess I'm not watching that then, which sucks. Yeah. So, yeah, we were watching all that. It was good.

So, you know, and then we just had a good Christmas time. Good stuff. i saw your dad on twitter looking at a turkey he was eating that turkey yeah my mom sent me that she was like you better get over here your father is eating the turkey i was like all right so then i went over my parents house and uh yeah my mom decided to buy a turkey that could feed eight people and i was like why i still don't i still don't quite understand why i think it was cheaper for some reason and so she bought it and it was delicious it was very good thanks i'm about to say thanksgiving the christmas was lovely i did

question why we got a turkey for christmas but i don't care it's fine um and then uh yeah we we once again my parents tried to buy me a bunch of clothes, and I love them for it, but I was like, I don't know. This is going to look good, or this one's going to fit. They got me shoes, and the shoes were too small. And I love my parents. Bless their sweet – but I have a million pairs of shoes. But I was like, you know what?

Bless their souls. They got me workout shoes, which, you know, another hint. Like, wink, wink, enjoy your of shoes. I was like, you know what? Bless their souls, they got me workout shoes, which, you know, another hint. Like, wink, wink, enjoy your workout shoes. But they were too small. New Year's coming up. Get some resolutions like work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so, you know, they

definitely tried to think of me. But in the end, the gifts that I enjoyed the most is I got a Starbucks gift card and a bunch of scratchers my dad gave me from the California Lotto, and I was like, no, this is Christmas. Did you win? No, we lost every single one. But I enjoyed it, and that's what counted. That ties into New Year's resolutions.

You got any resolutions, or are you like, no? Do you have resolutions? Do you do resolutions? I do resolutions. I feel like maybe in the past I was like, New. Do you have resolutions? Do you do resolutions? I do resolutions. I feel like maybe in the past I was like, no, your resolution's stupid. But I think it's because people just look at it in a very generic way. I won't eat sugar.

Like, that's tough. Well, yeah. I feel like people just do really generic ones. Like, I want to exercise. Or like, I want to lose weight. Or I want to save money. But they don't specify what they want to do to get there. Right.

Like you should have a more specific thing of like, I want to go to the gym every Tuesday. Like, cause then that's something where you'd be like, all right, every Tuesday I go to the gym. If you just go like, I want to eat healthy. Then you're going to be like, well, how do I start that? And you'd be like, I don't know. I'm just going to go to McDonald's. Right. Yeah be like well how do i start that and you'll be like i don't know i'm just gonna go to mcdonald's right yeah though what idiot would do that so i feel like that's one way is you just get more specific i learned that from just learning

how to be more productive right so really it's just a way to get more productive at any point in the year is you want to have more specific things to do so instead of being like clean the house be like i'm going to like do like a specific ask in the house like take garbage bag out of thing and put into garbage bin or something like that because it's like a thing that you know what to do and you're like all right i can do that right now so i think that's one way i mean it's one way you're right the thing the other part of new year's resolutions is it's like it's just the start of the year so everybody wants to do the things but i mean like most resolutions you could just start whenever like you know like when i started going to the gym it was like august and it was just because i was tired of falling apart

so i mean i mean you can really start whatever you just start them right now. I'm just waiting just because I'm like, you know, it'll be fun to do a New Year thing. So I'm just doing more reading and writing. That's what I'm going to do because I want to do that anyway. And I'm pretty much already reading more, but I'm going to make sure that at least one day a week I read and write. You do on that day when you when you were talking about writing. Do you have a goal in mind? Or are you just going to write?

That's the thing. I want to keep writing my books. I'm like two chapters into it. So I already write, but I want to write more. I think is what I'm getting at. So I'm going to have at least a dedicated day once a week. It can be any day where I have to write for at least 30 minutes. And then the rest of the week,

I can write however much I want. Can I propose something to you as a writing challenge? Sure. For this podcast, into the new year. What if you got a journal? And you wrote one page of something for every episode? One page of something for every episode. One page of something for every episode? Whatever it is you want to write.

Like I show up to the episode and read you what I wrote? Yes. All right. I mean, a page is a lot for an episode. It's just one page. I'm just going to write. Well, I mean, what am I writing? Am I just writing?

Anything. It doesn't have to be the full page. Just write something down. All right. It might not be a page, but I'll write something. I want you to write something. I want you to write and then speak it to me. Say what you wrote to me.

All right. I actually had a period in time where i was writing i would just write like five minutes every night and it didn't matter what i wrote so i would just sit down i would write like well i was trying to like get better at writing so i'd write fantasy stuff it actually helped a lot so i'll just write random stuff and then i'd be like that's kind of cool i'll put that in my thing or like i could use that later like that's just a fun idea yeah give me those fun i want you to like tell me the thing that you've created in your mind space i'll i'll do that i'll be uh i'll be one of my things i do for the new year yeah i like that next week although next week we don't have a show that's true next week no show, but when we come back, we'll be good. Yeah.

That's my resolution. Alright. I don't have one. My resolution is get through the year. That's my resolution. One more year. Add another year to the list. Add another year to the list. Let's make it happen, Captain. That's my

plan. Yeah. Yeah, let's make it happen, Captain. That's my plan. Yeah. Yeah. I'm already the person who's like, I don't need to do the get in shape one. I literally went to the gym today. It's the day after Christmas. I was like, well, time to go back. I am envious.

I did not. There's only four people there. Four fellow gym goers the day after Christmas, but I was fine. I was doing my cardio, did a couple weight lifts. It was good. My neck's healed. And now that I know what music you listen to, I know how that run went. Yeah.

When you were here, I blasted it. Remember what played for me is music. Yeah. So I now know what you listen to. Yeah. See, I told you. You got the trance for the cardio. Yeah. And you got the big wubs for the is music. Yeah. So I now know what you listen to. Yeah. It's, see, I told you,

you got the trance for the cardio. Yeah. And you got the big wubs for the weightlifting. I can't do it. I can't, the trance or the cardio would make me,

I would fall asleep on the treadmill. It's, I mean, you'd fall asleep like standing up. Yeah. I mean,

like I would, like I would close my eyes because like, there's nothing to focus on because the music doesn't, doesn't have, the music mean, like, I would close my eyes because, like, there's nothing to focus on. Because the music doesn't have – the music is literally like – And then the background, there's like – Go to the hall! Go to the hall!

And then it's just like – And then I's just like. And then I would just be like. Oh, man. Well, sometimes when I'm watching or like listening to the music, I'm also watching something. So I'm watching like sports usually. Ah, see, when I used to go to the gym like crazy, they had on the machines, they had little things you could put your headphones into. And it would jack you into the different channels around the gym.

And then you would be like, number three. And then you would hear what was being said on the TV. And then you could like, you know, listen. So I'd sit through the news. Actually, I'll let you know. The way I got through going to the gym every day was Law & Order Special Victims Unit. Shout out to Mariska Hargitay. I love you wherever you're at.

It was always on at the gym when I went, and I would just watch it. Let me tell you, an hour flies by when you're caught in an investigation trying to save a life. The thing is, you don't need an hour. It's like cardio. You only need 15, 20 minutes. Yeah, well, maybe if you're like a baby. Me, I would go for an hour. It was great.

I would do that. My dad would yell at me. He's like, you need to lift more. I was like, yeah, but look at me. My big ass is doing an hour of cardio, bro. I'm so excited with myself. Well, you do have to mix weights and cardio. That's the best way. Well, sure, of course.

That's the thing. sure of course that's the thing you get the variety you do like you keep shifting and lifting and then running i i just uh don't that's fair enough i mean like i know what needs to happen i'm just not good at it that's the thing is like it ties back the New Year's resolutions. Like just everything is like most people know what they have to do, but the hard part is doing the thing. Like, you know, you got to write, but the hard part is sitting down writing or reading or going to the gym and exercising or getting work done or not doing your things last minute

or literally anything. Yeah. Man, I was with you till the end there uh that last minute thing is how i operate that is something i've that is i'm addicted to pressure it's the way that i get things done that's just a fact i'm not under pressure i'm like it'll be fine i can get to it and then suddenly i'm like oh i have a day i guess i gotta work on it you did just stream 10 hours before this. I didn't even intend for that to happen. I was like, everyone was like, oh, dude, you're at the end of the game.

I was like, great. 10 hours later, what? And I'm blown away. Shout out to Square Enix. Everyone's like, this is a crazy stream, dude. He's streaming so long. He hasn't eaten. I was like, dude, it's like a Sam stream. In dude he's streaming so long he hasn't eaten i was like dude

it's like a sam stream in fact i went to sam stream he'd been streaming league for eight and a half hours well i was just trying to get through like mine clearly had an end point like there was clearly i was going to beat the final fantasy expansion yeah and i was like here and then people started watching and i was like, all right, well, I got to finish this thing. And I wanted I thought it would take, I don't know, maybe three, four hours. Everyone told me I was at the end. I didn't realize the end meant an entire final zone with like the heaviest lore possible, followed by like a dungeon and then a raid boss and then a literal 1v1 against the final i like i couldn't i couldn't believe it was like back to back to back to back things

and uh yeah i was i was not prepared and then i beat it and still there was another hour of content i was like oh my god i showed up i showed up like four hours ago and i was like is he almost done and they're like oh yeah he's got like another hour too long they came back again and they're like yeah he's got like 20 minutes left i was like another two hours well you should have known not to trust them because uh i guess all day in the in the zone that I was in in the game, everyone was waiting for something called Chi. I don't know what that is.

They were waiting for Chi, which I guess is like a rare monster to spawn. But they were like, five minutes, it spawns in five minutes. But they were doing that all day. And I don't know if it's like a meme or a joke. Clearly, I'm not caught up to them. I don't know what's going on. But I was seeing it all day. And I was like, it can't be five minutes all day.

temperatures which one is it uh chance of snow 90 one to three inches of snow coming in with occasional 40 mile an hour wind gusts uh monday you got about an inch of snow. Winds calm down. Then you got 16 degrees, 26 degrees, 26 degrees. You got more snow coming in. Looking at about an inch a day. Maybe a little under. And then just, wow, it is cold and snowy. It's like snowing half the days there. Wowee.

It's up north, so I would imagine. It is up north. Which is weird because, like, I mean because over here it hasn't really been too bad or snowy. But I heard the northwest is actually getting a lot of cold and snow, specifically. Oh, yeah. It's very weird. The last few days it's been pouring down rain at night here. And I keep thinking if this wasn't't la that would be a lot of snow yep yeah it's like every inch of rain is like the foot of snow or something like that i remember

what was it inch of rain to snow uh 13 inches of snow is one inch of rain. Damn. Damn. That's crazy. That is crazy. Yeah. Mama mia. That's the weather. All right.

Let's go to sports. Sports. Big sports. Games. NFL football. Big sports games. Big sports, games, NFL football. Big sports, games. Big sports, games. I keep hitting my mic thing.

If anybody ever wonders what it's like, it's me hitting the mic thing. Where am I? There it is. I don't know where you are. Thursday was Titans beating the 49ers. Then we had the Packers beat the Browns on Christmas, while the Colts beat the Cardinals. Falcons beat the Lions. Rams beat the Vikings.

Jets beat the Jaguars. Eagles beat the Giants. Bills beat the Patriots. Bengals beat the Ravens. Texans beat the Chargers. Bucks beat the Panthers. Bears beat the Seahawks. Raiders beat the Broncos.

Chiefs beat the Steelers. No comment. Yeah, that was sad. And then the Cowboys beat Washington. That was even more sad. And tomorrow we got Dolphins against the Saints. Big, biggest thing, though. I won my fantasy football playoffs.

I beat Sinvicta by four points. Damn! He was like, you are the luckiest person I've ever seen. He's not happy. And then Rob beat Bear Taffy in our other playoffs. So I'm going to the championship round of our fantasy football playoffs. Very excited. Congratulations to, you know, you put a lot of work in this season.

Thank you. Thank you. It was a lot of hard work out there. And, you know, that happened. Then NBA standings currently. We got the Nets up top with the Bulls right behind them. Bulls won the night. Watch that.

Very good. Bucks, Heat, Cavs, 76ers, the top six. In the West, you got Warriors, Suns, Jazz, Grizzlies Clippers, Nuggets off the top the Lakers right behind them under 500 pretty sad for the Lakers pretty sad they put together like a team of

like 40 year old they literally did the Irishman but a basketball team that's what it is right they bring back all the old people yeah I don't know if they bring them back, but I know they're all in it. They're all brought back to the movie. I don't know the plot of the movie. They got like, the Lakers were like LeBron,

like Carmelo Anthony, who like, dude started playing in like 2003. I think they all did. Russell Westbrook. I don't know. They're not good. Which is fine with me. I don't care. I don't like the Lakers.

And then, over in hockey... Hockey's actually been on a hiatus because of COVID. But currently, Lightning at the top, Hurricanes and the Capitals tied. The Wild at the top, and the Golden Knights and the Ducks tied at the top over there. So that's a lot of the sports.

All right. Well, what is our factoid of the day? Factoid of the day. Where did I have it? Okay, here we go. This one's weird. A newborn baby is more than three-fourths water. What?

That's right. You learned when you're a kid that most people are made up of water. But when newborn babies are born, they are 78% water. Adults drop down to 55 to 60. Is that why they're so, like, squishy? It's got to be. It's got to be. That's got to be the number one reason why they squish.

Which is still crazy, like, that we're over half water, you know? I mean, that's why we're on a planet of over half water. It adds up. It was pretty crazy. Also, were you not at the museum with me? We came from the water, man. Oh, yeah, it's true. We did, like, walk out of the water as those weird alligator men.

Yeah. Those are my favorite guys. Yeah, I like those. Yeah. Those are my favorite guys. Yeah, I like those. Also, they have only one person is known to be able to voluntarily change the size of their pupil.

That's really weird. What? Yeah. I don't even know how you do that. Like how? Of their pupil. They observed a man in 2021 that can change the size of his pupil on command and he's the only known person to be able to do this.

Interesting. He must have either hacked the system, or he's just... Is it like a muscle? I can't even imagine doing that. Yeah. I guess it's the same when your pupils dilate or you're like fear or stress or night vision. I'm sure there's a reason why my body doesn't rely on me to have to change it. You know what I mean?

Yeah. It's not like, oh, Jesse, we need to adjust your eyes on this one. Please just do it. You guys got it. Body, you got it. Yeah. It's automated for a reason. You don't got to stick shift, manual got it. Bonnie, you got it. Yeah, like it's automated for a reason. You don't got to like stick shift manual drive it.

So that's a thing. Yep. That's true. That's a fact of the day. All right. What is our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day. This one's a little weird.

A little weird. I'm waiting with bated breath. Japanese professor develops TV screen viewer can taste. What? That's right. He developed a TV

screen you can taste. I have so many questions mostly about the idea of tasting a TV screen, but yeah. So, a professor at a Japanese university unveiled his latest innovation, a TV screen a viewer can taste. Homei Miyashita, I did not say that correctly probably, an associate professor in the School of Science and Technology at Maizhi University said his Taste the TV in invention uses a combination of 10 flavors to create the taste of the food pictured on the screen. How does it know? I don't know. The flavor is dispensed onto a film that slides onto the screen, allowing viewers to experience the taste of the food they are seeing.

Oh, I hate that. Oh, I don't like the film slides onto the screen. I hate that. That sucks. He believes the technology could be used to give people unable or unwilling to travel the ability to sample flavors from around the world. I am thinking of making a platform where taste from all over the world can be distributed as taste content. It's the same as watching a movie

or listening to a song that you like, he told reporters. Oh, this is going to get used for porn. I was thinking the exact same thing. No doubt. I was like, oh, this guy. This guy's made a terrible mistake. He's like, my science.

My science created it for mankind, not for this! Wow, now I can lick everything. All those feet videos I've been watching, finally, I can lick them all! What a time to be alive. No, my invention! I'm thinking... I hope people can, in the future, download and enjoy the flavors of the food from restaurants they fancy, regardless of where they are based in the future. Oh, no.

Oh, no. This poor naive fool. Miyashita said on the college's website that his work is aimed at, quote quote reviewing the relationship between humans and content. Yep. Yep. I designate humans as beings who cannot help but create express and consume content and have a new name for humans content respirators.

I believe that we cannot build a new human content relationship unless we designate content as being as important as food and air. And veg. That's what he said. It does sound very scientific

of him. Yeah, and then he plugged the OnlyFans. He plugged his OnlyFans and he said, I only do feet pics, but... Then he shock abroad and walked out. He flipped his sunglasses back on he's like peace out haters that's uh but seriously like he just wants to create like a cool thing to be able to taste food and you know like you know it's like smell-o-vision but like taste the vision i don't blame him i think it's a great

concept i can't yeah i can't understand at all why how no one thought of this like directly be like no this is for porn though right oh yeah like no it's so you can taste different yeah yeah yeah okay sure sure yeah i mean it's it's literally everything it's like VR VR happening like wow you can experience it they're like I can see VR porn yeah that's yeah that's pretty much it that's where we're at
