Also, today we're brought to you by Quip. Quip is going to get your teeth looking oh so clean. Now let's jump into this podcast. Hello, everybody.
Starting point is 00:00:19 It's time for Ghost on Trend Dog. Ghost on Trend Dog in the morning. In the morning! Did you just Doppler effect by me? Is that what you just zipped by me on a motorcycle? I just jumped right into this podcast, sorry. Ah, you seemed very high up. Oh yeah, I was very high up. What it seemed like is I was standing on a ledge, and you said, catch me, and jumped,
Starting point is 00:01:07 and then I watched you fall by me. Like, you just went right by me. Like, yeah. When I heard you say, let's jump right in this podcast, I was like, dude, I can do a little goof here, and then I did the goof, and then here we are. You jumped right in. It was good. You jumped right in.
Starting point is 00:01:19 Look at that. Yeah, I liked it. I liked the whole thing. Hey, thanks. You know what? You're welcome. You, in particular, you're welcome. Well, you're welcome.
Starting point is 00:01:30 You know what? Thank you. Hey, no problem. You're welcome. You are the one who is welcome. That's like the third dumbest intro we've ever done. Because the one the other week was pretty dumb i don't think it's as dumb as that but this one's up there you know what listener
Starting point is 00:01:48 you're welcome wait i'm not a listener i don't know i'm talking to people listening okay now i moved up now it's up to number two yeah no that's number two, though. Oh, by the way. Yes. We are only a few weeks away from the 10-year anniversary. I saw your tweet. What day is it? It's like November 13th. I think it's the 13th or something. It might be like the 11th or like one of them, but I think it's the week of the 13th. What in God's name are we going to do for that?
Starting point is 00:02:25 We'll probably forget. But otherwise we could. What should we do? I don't know. There's got to be like some fun thing we can do. Right? There's got to be. I am at a total loss.
Starting point is 00:02:42 You're like, there's got to be something fun. And I'm sitting here like, uh, and? People out there. Everyone, comment. We're going to outsource this problem to you. Comment fun ways we can celebrate the 10-year anniversary. Because we can't think of anything. Yeah, we got nothing.
Starting point is 00:03:01 But maybe you can come up with something. We've got two weeks to figure it out, it looks like. Yeah. Either tweet or comment in the podcast comments or, I don't know, yell at us on a stream. What should we be doing that would make it worthwhile to you? Yeah. Because, if anything, I can easily be like, we found some of the best bits from the past 10 years, and Crandor and I will just not do anything.
Starting point is 00:03:26 But I think you want more than that but like, you know, whatever. I'm fine with it. Yeah, they probably want more than that. They probably want us to like react to our best bits or something. That sounds like a lot of work though. How do you react to a bit over podcast? If it's a video, you can like
Starting point is 00:03:42 be like, ooh, but a podcast that's tough. That's a lot of work. I don't want to do that. Maybe we can just bring up moments that we enjoy. I don't remember how this podcast started. I couldn't tell you how we started this podcast, so I don't know if I can
Starting point is 00:03:59 remember what happened 10 years ago. Here's how I think it started, but I actually don't know either i think we did the saints row episode and you called it cox and crendor in the morning and then we were like hey it'd be funny if we made a podcast called that that's what happened in my brain but it might have not like happened and that's just what my brain did till i'd be like that's how it happened i think we were that stuff, and then we had a conversation about how we didn't need the gameplay to do it, and it would just be easier to do a morning show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:33 That does sound right. That was kind of the vibe. We were just like, yeah, this should be fine. Yeah. And then here we are. And then here we are. Well, initially, we were doing this, like, every day. Yeah. And the goof was, because it was a morning show, are. Well, initially, we were doing this like every day.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Yeah. And the goof was, because it was a morning show, it'd be like 30 minutes. And so the original podcasts are very, very short. Yeah. And then they got longer. And then we were like, this is too long. So we started doing it once a week. Well, there was a point where we only did like a couple a year. That's true.
Starting point is 00:05:03 There was a point where we only did a couple a year. That's true. But that's also because we were doing it for free in our spare time whenever we had free time to do stuff. And then suddenly advertisers showed up like, hey, do you want money? And we were like, sure. And then they yelled at us. If we ever were late, they'd be like, you better do this. So we were beholden to corporate interests, I guess.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Yeah, that helped a lot. It really did. It gave us structure. Yeah, that's what we need. We just need structure. That is true. I think most people in our job need someone to be like, no, you do this. And we're like, okay.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Yeah. Otherwise, we would do nothing. That's very true. Speaking of podcast topics. Yeah. Good. Good. You're nailing it. Ten years, baby.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Yeah. I got my yearly McRib. I saw three photos over the week. One was someone got a McDappelberry, which I've been thinking about nonstop. Someone got a McRib, and they were really excited. And then one person, I don't think it was one of our fans, but I saw someone post, I've been waiting X number of months for a McRib. I finally got one and the bread
Starting point is 00:06:26 was moldy. And he was like, everyone was like, cool. Yeah, that's gotta suck. And that made me really concerned. I'm like, have I ever eaten molded bread at McDonald's? I wouldn't have noticed. If I'm at a McDonald's, it's usually late at night and there's nothing open. And I'm like
Starting point is 00:06:41 eating it while driving home. So it's pitch black. Or it's McDonald's breakfast, in which case I'm too tired, and I'm eating it while driving home, so it's pitch black, or it's McDonald's breakfast, in which case I'm too tired, and I'm like, oh, God, and I just eat it. I don't like midday McDonald's. That does not happen for me. It's either last resort or the breakfast. That's it.
Starting point is 00:07:00 So I have probably – I'm worried that I've just ingested tons of McDonald's. McMold is what I mean. I think the McMold is pretty safe. I think they probably have solid McMold that's like your body's like, I guess I can process this. I mean, I eat blue cheese, so I think it's fine. It's just like gross. It's probably in the same tier.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Yeah, it just sucks that like how, you got to figure, I watched that video of that guy who had that McDonald's hamburger and french fries, and he put them in, like, glass, and then they sat there for a year, and then everything was fine? Yeah. I have to imagine, like, how the hell, if the bread can live through that, why is the bread moldy? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they meant, like, real stale and not moldy. No, I mean, the photo was mold. Like the bottom had like little patches of mold all over it.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Oh, oh no. Yeah, it was gross looking. I was like, how did, the worst part is a McDonald's employee had to pull that bun out of the packaging, open it, put the meat and shit in it, close it, put it in a thing. I guess maybe they didn't check the bottom ever, but that's bizarre that you wouldn't notice that. Yeah, that is. How old is this tweet? I need to find it.
Starting point is 00:08:13 It's from this past week. It was from when they, I don't know, maybe Google McDonald's mold. What's that thing called? McRib. Yeah, McRib. Images. Boy, this is going to be tough. Probably should Google search McDonald's mold images.
Starting point is 00:08:34 It was in Twitter, huh? Was it in Twitter? It was on Twitter. While you're looking for that, I just want to show you. The internet is so dumb. Four days ago. Four days ago. While you're looking for that, I just want to show you the internet. So dumb. Four days ago, four days ago, everyone lost their mind because customers shocked by viral video of employee making a McRib. And it literally is.
Starting point is 00:09:00 And if you ever listen to this show, we've said this before. And I'm pretty sure every person who eats a McRib knows this, but this article is like, in a trending clip, an alleged McDonald's employee shows viewers what may later be dubbed as the nasty process behind creating the signature food item.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Fans can see frozen blocks of rib being shockingly thrown onto a grill in six batches. Then, after they've been thawed out, they're then removed from the grill and put in a drawer with a thick and what people call gross-looking brown sauce. These coated slimy slabs are then put with onions and pickles and put on a bun. That's a McRib. And everyone's losing their mind, and I'm like, when I worked at McDonald's in 1999, that's how
Starting point is 00:09:47 they made them. Literally, they come frozen in little bricks, you throw them on the grill, you close the top, they thaw out and they get hot, then you take those things and there's a big vat of barbecue sauce and you dump those sons of bitches in there, and then you put the hot barbecue sauce with that thing in the heater tray, and you wait until someone wants a McRib, then you pull out one of those gross-ass McRib things, put it on a bun, put the stuff on it, and then put it out the door. It has not changed.
Starting point is 00:10:18 And I'm blown away that people are like, it's so gross. I can't believe that this is the way they do this. Here's the thing. Everyone ordering McRib understands how gross a McRib is. Yeah. Exactly. That's not new. They're acting like this is a shocking insider scoop and it's like,
Starting point is 00:10:34 no, no, no. The world done known that. You're just like too good for McDonald's. We know it's trash food. We understand. It's the same when people are like, you know Taco Bell is in real Mexican food, right? I'm like, yeah. I know that.
Starting point is 00:10:49 I get it. We aren't going to Taco Bell for quality. I know what I'm going to Taco Bell for. It's probably like, you know, you probably had like a drink or two. It's starting to wear off a bit. You're like, oh, then you're hungry. Or you're just high as shit. Then you're just like, give me the cheesy gordita something.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Yeah, there's nothing genuine Mexican about cheesy something. Anything that starts with a cheesy, anything that's been nowhere near Mexico ever. That's not how it works just like the concept like no one who likes barbecue with a passion thinks that a mcrib is up to that standard we know what it is yeah exactly and the thing is it's uh it's not great but right right it's not it's not good if anything it's just pure barbecue flavor. Like, whatever the taste of the sauce is, that's what it tastes like,
Starting point is 00:11:51 because the meat itself, it's like a non-thing. It's not meat. I don't know what the hell it is, but it's not meat. It's like a processed pork patty. It's like something you'd buy in the frozen food aisle with, like, they sell you like a block of them. What was that?
Starting point is 00:12:09 Was it like Encore? Was it Encore frozen foods? It's like, taste it more. It's Encore. Remember that? Yes. Encore frozen meals. Yeah, I'm looking at them right now. I just Googled them. Wow. No wonder they stopped selling these because my god. In fact, one of them looks like the McRib.
Starting point is 00:12:28 You see it? Yes. I said it. That's amazing. It's literally the McRib. That's so funny. Yeah, it looks just like it. It just looks like a McRib.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Yeah. Also, shout out to the Encore gravy and Salisbury steaks. Six in one pack. That's a steal. That's a steal right there. That is always delicious, always easy. I don't know about that. Man, all I remember is their commercials.
Starting point is 00:12:58 That's it. Either way, my McRib was pretty alright. Like, it wasn't bad. It was good for what a McRib is. And the best part about it was I could taste it. Because I was worried I'd eat it and I wouldn't be able to taste it because of my taste and smell. But, slowly but surely, I've gotten my taste and smell back and now it's pretty much like 100%. Hell yes.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Hell yes. I'm glad you're feeling better. Yeah. And I also found the moldy mcrib and it looks very bad yeah i believe that but yeah it was uh it was definitely a relief being like oh man i can actually taste stuff again and smell it it's good um uh because everyone's like i haven't smelled anything 15 years after getting that one i'm like oh god uh but now we're good um i was also gonna bring up
Starting point is 00:13:53 speaking of uh old things uh that segue is worrying but okay. I was seeing old TV show ads, and I also brought up in one of my pointless top 10, Xena the Warrior Princess. Yo. And I remember seeing that show on TV, but not really watching it. And now looking back, I'm like, what was that even about? Was she just like a warrior princess just fighting? I actually know all the answers to this. I got you.
Starting point is 00:14:28 What questions do you have? I got you. I would watch every Saturday. I'd watch Hercules, sometimes Young Hercules, Xena Warrior Princess. And then when it was on, for the time it was on, there was Jack of All Trades, which was good. And then there was Briscoe County Junior. I love Briscoe County Junior. That was a great show.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Briscoe County Junior. Yeah, Briscoe and Jack of All Trades. Good shows. They aren't on. I think they had one, maybe two seasons, but they were great. Huh. Well, tell me about Xeno the Warrior Princess. Well, Hercules.
Starting point is 00:15:04 You know what? it's kind of like Did you ever watch Buffy the vampire slayer Yeah I've seen some Buffy I'm not a big Buffy fan but I know enough to know That in Buffy The angel storyline Then became a
Starting point is 00:15:20 Spinoff show right So this was In Hercules there was Xena warrior princess and then that became a Spinoff show right So this was In Hercules there was Xena Warrior Princess and that became a Spinoff show it was like this is Xena's story I see And then Xena was about her And her ward Gabrielle
Starting point is 00:15:35 So very Batman-esque except two Women who go around beating the shit out Of everyone she's like no no no no no She throws her chakram things At people and then There was a crazy like a totally crazy blonde woman who was like kept trying to kill xena and i don't remember her name but i remember i had like massive pre-teen horniness for her she and here that might be where i started my absolute obsession with like, oh, she's a little crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Hot. Yeah, that's a problem for me. That's been a considerable problem. But yeah. And then she went around. And I know in the later season, she leaves Greece and goes to, I don't know. Did she go to Germany or did she go to England? At some point she becomes like a shaman.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Later on it becomes insane. But in the beginning it's like her and she's going around beating up gods and being a badass and what people would consider female empowerment in the early 90s, but I don't think really was because she was always sexed up and being amazing but whatever it was great i loved every minute of it ah well yeah because i like i remember it being uh i think i would watch baseball games and then they like right after baseball or like sporting stuff they'd always start showing their own like local programming or like the early shows like
Starting point is 00:17:05 that and they'd be like time for xeno warrior princess i was like oh okay and i remember seeing her beat up someone yeah that's i mean that's that was the show it'd be like and she'd be like and they'd be like long ago in that time before time, Xena, warrior, princess. It's like, bum, bum, bum, bum. Oh, yeah, that show was great. And admittedly, way better than Hercules. Hercules was fine and fun, but Xena, warrior, princess, like, look. Hercules, it was whatever.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Xena was like, all right, let's get two smoking hot ladies, put them in some awesome looking outfits, have them beat the shit out of everyone, and their archnemesis is an even hotter, even smoking hot crazy lady. Let's go! And I was like, this show is amazing! Yeah. I think I was 14, 15 at the time, I was like, I would do terrible
Starting point is 00:18:00 things to get on this show. And, uh, you still probably would. I mean, yeah. Xena? Hell yeah. Look, wherever you're at, my God. She was in Spartacus, Blood on the Sand, whatever that show was.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Which, by the way, was amazing. That was a great show. A lot of dicks and boobs in that show, but, you know, it was good. I just picture your dad being like, you know what? The warrior princess is fine with me. You know? Honestly. Just make grandchildren.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I don't know. Yeah, I don't know what his... My dad would probably... Here's the problem. My dad would probably watch it for about five minutes and be like, all right. And then something weird would happen, like, I am Ares. And he'd be like, this is garbage. He has a weird standard for entertainment.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Like, my dad hates comic book movies, loves Deadpool. I swear to God, it was like Christmas or something, and Deadpool 2 was on, and my dad was like, oh, this is great. And he started watching Deadpool 2. And he was like, into it. And I was like oh this is great and he started watching Deadpool 2 and he was like into it and I was like
Starting point is 00:19:06 out of all the things he hated the X-Men movies loves Deadpool crazy although I think it goes to the theory that everyone loves like all men love Ryan Reynolds I feel like that's a
Starting point is 00:19:21 solid theory because my dad was just like oh this movie's great I was like oh okay I was gonna bring up there's a few other shows I remember that would come on after like rain delays or whatever one was they would start playing MASH
Starting point is 00:19:38 I never watched MASH but I remember them doing the like yep when the helicopter lands and then I'd just be the like Yep When the helicopter lands And then I'd just be like I'm changing the cartoons Then I would change it to cartoons Match is weird Because I've never watched
Starting point is 00:19:55 The entire series but I've seen episodes Right And all I know is that some episodes Had a laugh track and some episodes didn't And some episodes were very very serious that some episodes had a laugh track and some episodes didn't. And some episodes were very, very serious. And some episodes were comedy. And I don't – I wish I knew more about – it's clearly before our time. I wish I knew more about the trajectory of that show because it seems like it made a big cultural impact.
Starting point is 00:20:16 But it also seems like it was a comedy, then not a comedy, and then – I don't know. I'm sure I'll get a call from my mom or dad afterwards and they'll tell me everything about it. Yeah. It's like they were trying to check all the boxes or something like we go, we can be serious, but we can be funny, but we can be a little dramatic and do everything.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I guess, I guess, honestly, I don't know. It's crazy. Uh, the other one, they would show coach,
Starting point is 00:20:40 uh, coach. Oh my God. I forgot about coach. And it would just be like, Coach. Coach. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:20:43 I forgot about Coach. And it would just be like. Coach. I love that you know the Coach theme. That's the one you know. Yeah, that's the one. And the guy that voices Patrick was in it. The Patrick Spongebob. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was like an airfield, and the dude who was on that, and maybe he was on Coach, I don't remember. He eventually went on to become that Spider-Man villain, the Sandman. Yeah.

And then the raptor puts a newspaper under the door, jingles out the key, opens it up, and he's like, you know, I'll stick to the mainland and assume all jobs in the name of Mr. Pilkington. Perhaps I've said too much. Like, it's just so silly. I remember specifically those things about that show.

He's probably just doing that thing where he's got a new generation where he can tell his jokes to because everyone else either forgot or hasn't heard him before. You just wait long enough. Oof, that's the truth. That says an awful lot about like, yeah, if you just wait long enough.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Yeah, I can start telling my gallbladder stories again. We'll get enough new viewers. Yeah. They'll be like, what gallbladder story? They'll be like, gather round, children, for a tale as old as time. Yeah. Tale as old as time. Yeah. Tale as old as time. Speaking of which, I've gotten numerous comments of like,
Starting point is 00:29:51 so I just made a pointless top 10 skeletons for Halloween. All right. It's doing well. It's going great. There's somebody who was just like, you know, you said in number five that the pointless skeletons are too detailed, which moves them up. But then on number two, you said that the boss was detailed, and so it put him at two. That doesn't really make sense for it.
Starting point is 00:30:13 And I'm like, dude, this is a dumbass pointless list I just threw together. All right, that's the whole point of the series. It's a bad list. Some guy on Reddit was also just like, it's a bad list some guy on reddit was also just like uh what I don't understand is number 10 is not a pointless skeleton but he included it at number
Starting point is 00:30:30 10 and I'm just like the whole point is that the list itself is pointless because top 10 lists are pointless that's why I made the series I don't think you understand this is beyond you now my friend this is about something more important than you.
Starting point is 00:30:47 This is about the top ten series. Right. I don't think you get that anymore, bro. This is about the series. Okay. And not about you. So you better get with the program program and start making some top tens that make sense damn it i'm not gonna do that i mean we're talking about a point some guy got mad in
Starting point is 00:31:15 one of my pointless top tens because i in one of them i was like uh let's see what is this thing i like spent half the thing like googling what it was some guys like I can't believe he spent half the thing googling something and I'm like this guy's gotta be new here have my comedy it really is so you know
Starting point is 00:31:40 it's uh you know but it's one of those things you know it doesn't bother me as much as it used to bother me i'm just like well i get where he's coming from you know he probably just wanted to see some fun skeletons and world of warcraft and an actual top 10 list instead he's got me googling about like if infactual is a word i just want to point out for the record that 100% you picked what would be to most people the premium algorithmic like skeletons on Halloween. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Everyone's looking for that. You picked the perfect thing. And if you were a normal top 10, everyone would be pleased. Now you were like, I'm going to Google a thing. And people were like, put my a normal top 10 everyone would be pleased oh no you were like i'm gonna google a thing and people were like put my immersion in top 10 well the thing is like i also say that but like the vast majority of people like it like it's still at 98.4 percent likes out of like 20 000 views so like most people know what they like yeah but then there's still the people just like that uh which is all when everyone every time somebody's just like you know on the on twitter people have been saying this mean thing really it's just like one person like every time no matter what it is uh because most people are just like hey nice but the you expect those right
Starting point is 00:33:04 because you put more time and effort and then you're like yeah i expect them than that one person just being like you know yeah my mom um did that to me once where she was like on one of your videos someone's like people were saying stuff about the video and how the video like that kind of thing. And I was like, people were... So I went to the video and I was like, I can't find what you're talking about. And then she showed it to me and it was like one person. And I was like, mom. It's buried at the bottom.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Yeah, I'm like, oh, okay. All right. Stop stressing about that shit. It's not necessary. Yeah. No, it's whatever. It is part of the business. It's part of the business. Part of the business. It is part of the business. It's part of the business.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Part of the business. It's part of the business. But, you know, that's pretty much been my thing, making Pointless Top Pens, looking up old shows, and eating McRibs. My once-a-year McRibs my once a year McRib at least I'm glad that you got one I was thinking about it and then totally forgot so now I'm back on that like oh I probably
Starting point is 00:34:15 should do that but if I'm going to do it I'm going to get a McDappleberry you should do that for the 10 year anniversary episode that's the worst idea I've ever heard. That is a genuinely bad idea. I think it's a great idea. For everyone watching except for you eating it.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Right, right. Oh my god, can I just bring up loud cars? I mean, I hear them in the background sometimes when you when we podcast so right sure sometimes like i just don't get the appeal of loud cars can somebody that understands the appeal of loud cars like tell me the appeal because to me like i feel like nobody likes the loud car people they're just like like is it a primal thing of, like, yeah, the loud noise? Yes. 100%.
Starting point is 00:35:09 It is a, my car is loud. I am tough. Beware of me. That's what, yeah. I feel like that's what it's got to be. Because I don't get, there's, like, no other, I don't, otherwise I don't get it. Because, like, I'm just not a car person. And I'm not a loud car person.
Starting point is 00:35:27 So, like, when someone's just, like, I'm just, like, it's just annoying. I don't like it. Yeah. I'm not a big fan of, like, loud car noises, too. I like a good engine rev. I like, you know, like, every other American. I like, you know, a nice car. Butoded american i like you know a nice car but also sometimes some shits is too loud sometimes they're like that remember that old video where they had the
Starting point is 00:35:51 whistler tips yep i just watched that one like a few months ago yeah that it reminds me of that and i hate it i hate the whistles go the best part of that video is at the end of the video, they're just like, they want him to show off the whistle tip thing, and he proceeds to like swerve into the other lane, almost hit a mailbox or another car, then swerve back and blow through a stop sign all in like five seconds. It was so good. Oh, man. That was great yeah good definitely go look
Starting point is 00:36:30 that one up again and just even if you just want to see the end i mean watch the whole thing but pay attention towards the end because that that ending part's so good also speaking of cars i hate those bright headlights i feel like i've brought this up before too but it just it happened yesterday we're just driving some guy just like the the headlights like they're so bright they you're literally like getting like brought into a fourth dimension like my god how you can't even see you can't even look in the rearview mirror and see the like very white lights? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:37:07 Yeah. There's normal lights, and there's the ones that are like, I put in halogen light bulbs or some shit like that. Yeah, those super high LED crazy light bulbs that you don't need. You're not out in the wilderness. I don't get it. They're so bright, and some cars just have them. I remember one time a my one headlight
Starting point is 00:37:25 went out i had to get a replace he's like you got those bright ass bulbs and i was like no and he's like good those are expensive too like i just i hate there should be a like a law set where your headlights have to be a certain brightness i have to imagine that they're built like the cars are built that way i I don't know. I guess maybe people go out of their way to put very bright headlights in, but that seems like a... I don't know why you do that unless you live in the Foglands. That's what I'm saying, but I feel like some people do it anyway.
Starting point is 00:37:55 It's probably the same people that rev their cars real loud. I have to imagine most people don't. It's built into their car already. I have to believe that. I think it's so weird that people go out of their way to put bright lights in their car. I mean, there's probably... I'd say half of them do and half of them don't. I want to believe better of people.
Starting point is 00:38:17 I don't. It's definitely would. So here's the thing. Like back 10 years ago when I'd rant about this, everyone's like, ah, he's 20 year old kid which i was but now i'm old somewhat i'm about to say not that old you're still on a podcast with me you'll never you'll always be younger than me remember that that's true i always will be younger than you that's the thing that's like when you grow up and then your parents are just always like yeah you're just a kid because like you are always a kid to them even if you're like 70 or 80 and they're like 90 and 100 there's like you little lady 80 year old exactly so yeah that's the thing
Starting point is 00:38:58 and then it's that's like the cycle of life because now all the 20 year old people are just like god i'm getting so old and i'm like yeah you're not old but then some 40 year olds like yeah you're not old then the 50 year olds like yeah i remember 40 i wish i was back there you kid that's my favorite part is like going on twitter and seeing someone i know who's like 25 be like i wake up and every day have back pain in my life it's just i'm like get over it like suck Like, suck it up, damn it. Yeah, start strengthening your trapezius muscles. Don't make me feel bad for you. Damn kids.

Starting point is 00:45:37 Back to you. I didn't know we changed our weatherman to be an old wizard. Yeah, that was just a weekly thing. I think he just teleported into the chopper copter. Yeah, he came in and, like, dropped a cryptic riddle about traffic and vanished. He's like, traffic is as traffic does. And you're like, what does that mean?
Starting point is 00:45:57 Somebody can figure it out. Somebody out there right now is like, actually, that's a code that unlocks a secret diamond chamber. Like, oh, okay. That's the traffic. All right, let's go to weather. Weather. Uh-huh. Let's see.

Yeah, I'm looking at it right now, and there's a lot of amazing stuff there, but I'll be real with you. There is a place called Villa Valls.
Starting point is 00:48:24 It's like a villa. Villa Valls? Villa Valls. Villa Valls. Villa Like it's a Villa Villa Valls Villa Valls Just a villa Villa Valls And it's literally a home Built into the side of a mountain And it looks incredible
Starting point is 00:48:35 Oh my god It's so cool looking And I'm sure there are other things to do there But that's the one thing I saw And I've been looking at this thing The entire time. It's incredible.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Yeah, this is like... There's some crazy architecture here. Yeah, I love that. They got... There's Ghani's Restaurant. It's got a 4.9. Ghani's Restaurant. Oh, yeah, look at that.
Starting point is 00:49:04 Wait, this is like a shack. Not a shack, but like a cabin. Look at this. Oh, my God. He's looking out into the mountains there. You said look at this, and I went to go see if you sent me a link, and it still has the Encore barbecue rib thing there. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Let me send this one. There you go. Look at this. All right, Ghani. Oh, wait. That's the thing. Ghani. Ghani.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Oh, I see that. Yeah. See, it's like a cabin shack. It does look like a little cabin shack. In fact, what's crazy about it is the food when you click you actually go look at it the food the very first image of food is from the kitchen and it literally looks like something your mom would just be making yeah it looks like it doesn't look like fancy at all but but you know it tastes good as you scroll down yeah you can see some of the food they serve and
Starting point is 00:50:05 it looks like good old home cooking i'm here for that but it does look like a shack this looks like some dude's little shack and then you just eat it like looking out over the mountains oh my god there's this one photo it's like further down from january 2021 and it is snow everywhere and then like a bowl of soup and what appears to be a salad, and I know that would slap. That would hit the spot. Oh, yeah. Sometimes all I need is a bowl of soup and salad.
Starting point is 00:50:34 No doubt. Oh, yeah. Look at that. That was the other restaurant I saw. Man, there's nothing. I'm looking at this. There is nothing around this. Like, this is a shack.
Starting point is 00:50:47 And then for miles mountains. I don't see anything else. Oh, yeah. I don't see anything. This would be amazing. What is... Do people go skiing here and stuff or what? I would have to believe so, right?
Starting point is 00:51:08 There has to be skiing. Yeah, there's got to be skiing. It looks like there's some sort of snow sport thing happening over at the Burgerstrandstad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So where that Ghani is? Yeah. Ghani's right next to a place called Lais. Lais?
Starting point is 00:51:28 Probably isn't called Lais, but that looks like another restaurant or a hotel maybe. And it's right next to the Hotel Steinbach Wals and Hostel Walshof and Alpenrose. And so I guess this one area is like, it looks very touristy. Oh, yeah, it looks very touristy. Oh, yeah, it does. Which, I mean, it explains why they're going there on a honeymoon. Yeah, lots of Airbnb, not Airbnbs, B&Bs are there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Oh, my God. Look at this one. They got the five horn blowers of the apocalypse. It really is a restaurant. There's just five dudes outside blowing horns, and I'm here for it. They had one of those at an Oktoberfest I went to, and they'd be like, they'd play these horns for a wedding or a celebration or a funeral or just major events. And then he was just like. Yeah. a celebration or a funeral or just major events and then he was just like yeah it was great yeah it's like um there's a there's a it very clearly there's wow that is the most european image i've ever seen you scroll down that page
Starting point is 00:52:40 there is like a hundred people in winter coats Laying out in the sun And I just want to say that's the most European shit I've ever seen in my entire life Oh yeah I see it That is extremely European Yeah Very but with that said The amount of
Starting point is 00:52:59 Like I'm trying to figure out what this restaurant Serves but I'm seeing a lot of plates that literally are like a place for a beer and then a bunch of cured meats, pickles, cheese, maybe capers and bread. And I'm thinking to myself, that sounds delicious. Oh, yeah. A hundred percent. Like, look. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:53:21 These plates they have. They got like pickle slices and some meats and, like, some onions and things. Man, that would be good. I'm a big fan of a nice charcuterie. Oh, yeah, I love a good charcuterie. Ooh, what is this? Oh, wow, they got, like, a bone marrow. You know what?
Starting point is 00:53:38 This place, all of it looks good. I have to imagine it's all some of that very hearty, but also chill food. So it's like, hey, man, we climbed a mountain today. Let's go get drunk and eat some meat. Oh, yeah. That's got to be it. Like our ancestors. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Oh, my God. Wait, hold on. Look at this place. This is like some Michelin star stuff. The Boonder Strobe. Yo, this does look good. Whoa! That is wild looking.
Starting point is 00:54:10 That is a Michelin star thing. That has the vibe of like, our portions are very small because it was crafted by a tiny immigrant. Put it together in the back room after training for five centuries under a dojo master. It looks like that. Oh, yeah, 100%. It looks delicious, though. I'd eat that up in a heartbeat. It's probably 8,000.
Starting point is 00:54:30 My God. If you scroll down far enough, they made a dessert that is one of the horns. Oh, my God. Yeah, I see that. Shut up. That looks delicious. That's amazing. That's probably made out of chocolate.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Or maybe it's not even a dessert. I don't know what that is. It not even a dessert. I don't know what that... Like, it could be a soup. I don't know. The horn looks like a dessert, but then the thing next to it looks like... I don't even know. Like fish? I can't tell.
Starting point is 00:54:54 It's like a seaweed fish with like a tomato? Maybe, yeah. Maybe like a little dollop of something. Crazy. Meanwhile, I found the menu, and I'm going to let you know. Not helpful. Halep of something crazy. Meanwhile, I found the menu, and I'm going to let you know, not helpful.
Starting point is 00:55:08 It's like alpacasa nuggets. Oh, polenta chips is English? Okay, great. Pasticcane soup. Valsalam. Gemmesufulung. Don't know what that is. Oh, they've got transits, and Weissen sauce.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Oh, well, of course, Weissen sauce, obviously. My favorite part is polenta chips. English is shit. Oh, yeah. Hilarious. And nuggets. The word nugget, very English. I love that. Nuggets.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Everyone knows a nugget. If I hear nuggets, I just think of chicken nuggets anytime. Yeah. But again, this is street view for this restaurant is like if you turn left, there's a hotel. And then if you look straight out from the restaurant, there's a mountain. And if you turn right, there's nothing there except more mountain. Oh, yeah. This is clearly a one-way.
Starting point is 00:56:06 You found the hotel in the middle of the mountains, and then this beautiful, amazing restaurant is nearby. Yeah. Crazy. That's the weather. All right. Let's go to sports. Sports. Welcome to the sports desk.
Starting point is 00:56:26 We have sports. So, over in, we'll start baseball, World Series, Phillies, and Astros. And it's tied at one apiece, so that means it's down to a best of five. We'll see who wins that one. Over in the NFL,
Starting point is 00:56:47 we had a lot of football games. We had the Ravens beat the Buccaneers. We had the Broncos beat the Jaguars in London. We had the Dolphins beat the Lions. Falcons beat the Panthers. Vikings beat the Cardinals. Cowboys beat the Bears. Saints beat the Raiders.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Eagles beat the Steelers. Jets lost to the Patriots. Titans beat the Texans. Seahawks beat the Giants. Commanders beat the Colts. Or I guess today, technically. Yep. Then, over in hockey, check out the hockey standings. We currently have the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers tied in hockey. Check out the hockey standings. We currently have the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers tied in first. That's a wacky one. You got the Boston Bruins at 8-1.
Starting point is 00:57:33 16 points atop the Atlanta. Probably the best team in hockey right now. You got the Dallas Stars and Winnipeg in first. The Blackhawks right behind them. I don't know how that happened. They were supposed to be the worst team in the hockey this year. And then the Vegas Golden Knights, 8-2-0 at 16 points.
Starting point is 00:57:51 So they're just one loss worse than the Bruins. So also pretty good still. And it's hockey. And finally, we had basketball. Take a look at the standings. The Bucs at the top of the East, 5-0 at the Cavs, 5-1. Celtics and the Hawks, 4-2.
Starting point is 00:58:10 And then a bunch of teams at three wins, and the Nets and the Magic in last place, which is funny because the Nets are supposed to be really good, and they're 1-5. And in the West, you got the Trailblazers and the Suns at 5-1. Trailblazers, surprise over there.
Starting point is 00:58:26 You got the Spurs 5-2. They're supposed to be bad. They're doing great. You got the Jazz 5-2. They're supposed to be bad. They're doing great. Although a lot of times these teams fall off as the season goes on. And then a bunch of teams at four wins.
Starting point is 00:58:39 And at the bottom, you got the Kings, the Lakers, and the Rockets. The Lakers winning their first game of the season today, and they are now 1-5 after they lost every preseason game and every game up until now. So, Lakers. Lakers. And that's sports. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Well, it's that time for our fact of the day. Fact of the day. of the day day day day um here we are yeah yeah you like had to rev up there for a moment yep uh this one kind of ties into what we were talking about uh but i feel like we've talked about this but maybe it was something else it says space partly smells like diesel fuel and barbecue i feel like we know that from somewhere but also how does anyone know that i don't know but But I feel like we heard something about that before. So I'm going to do a different one. Okay. Oh, there we go.
Starting point is 00:59:54 McDonald's once had bubble gum flavored broccoli. What the shit? This was done as an attempt to make kids enjoy eating vegetables. However, the strange method failed for obvious reasons. You don't say. McDonald's broccoli gum. Oh yeah, look at that. They actually did. That's
Starting point is 01:00:16 weird. That does sound weird. So what, wait, what was the... I'm so confused. It wasn't sold in America, right? I can't imagine it was. Let's see. It doesn't say where it happened at.
Starting point is 01:00:33 Or if it, like, occurred. Or if they even, like, did it. Or if it was just, like, a test run or something. Yeah, it looks like there's an article from 2014 where they're talking about how they attempted to make it gum- and they tested on kids and it says kids were confused. I'd be confused. Like bubble gum flavored broccoli.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Like of all things, why bubble gum? Yeah, I don't know. broccoli like of all things why why bubble gum yeah i don't know but it's weird because it makes it seem like they tried to make it happen and they tried to give it to people but at the same time i don't there was yeah it says there was an attempt to sell it but i'm so confused did they try it or did they give it to kids And the kids were like this sucked and they never sold it It's gotta be either that or they probably Sold it at like a few locations
Starting point is 01:01:30 Or like very specific or something I guess I never heard of it That's like when Someone was like what if we make ketchup purple Oh yeah I remember that You're like what the hell Are you thinking that kids will love it I was like that's the grossest color you could pick ketchup purple oh yeah I remember that you're like what the hell are you
Starting point is 01:01:45 thinking like kids will love it I was like that's the grossest color you could pick now to be fair I did buy the green ketchup all right green is different green has like a like it could be a chili verde kind of situation you know what I mean like green is a color that we see on food frequently purple not so much but that's just like oh, it's wacky It's just a different color. They just put food dye in it or whatever. Yeah, let's they shouldn't have to do that This is like straight up. We changed how a food tastes It is worse it is considerably worse you're right
Starting point is 01:02:19 That's well. I feel like there's so many better options they could have done instead of bubble gum. Right. I mean, you're not wrong. Like, I don't know. Just just something that is like bubble gum just makes me even think of like medicine. Because I was used to have like antibiotic bubble gum medicine. You know that one? Yeah. Like, I just think of medicine of medicine like let's pick something else this isn't medicine related too late too late too late they failed too late yep it already happened that's your fact of the
Starting point is 01:02:56 day all right what is our big news story of the day big news story of the day y'all right there yeah i'm gonna okay um loaf saber california baker crafts life-sized han solo out of bread well now i gotta google this hold on here we go Bread solo They got a picture of it There it is This is like when someone makes something out of butter And you think to yourself why This is the exact same vibe
Starting point is 01:03:34 Han Solo may be a hunk But Pan Solo Is a hunk of bread Get the shit out of here I hate these article openings. Stop it. That's terrible. And I feel like they spend at least 50% of their writing time just trying to make up an opening.
Starting point is 01:03:53 You know they workshopped that. They thought they were so clever. That's what a bakery in the San Francisco Bay Area has dubbed its six-foot bread sculpture of the Star Wars character as he appeared after being frozen in carbonite in The Empire Strikes Back. Hannah Lee Pervin and her mother, Catherine Pervin, co-owners of One House Bakery in Benicia, California, spent weeks molding, baking, and assembling the life-size sculpture using wood and two types of dough, including a type of yeastless dough with a higher sugar content that will last longer the two worked at night after the day's business was done the
Starting point is 01:04:31 lovingly crafted details show han solo's anguish face and his hands straining to reach out hannity said i mean it does show that yeah it does show that it's true annalee said she might have gotten a bit obsessed quote mom made me leave it because i was obsessing over the lips hannah lee pervin told the new york times she was like you need to walk away creating pan solo or pond solo i don't know was particularly meaningful she told the paper because she contracted covet in jan January 2021 and lost much of her senses of smell and taste. Look at that. We're tying it back into the circle. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Yeah. So just to find a joy in a different part of food is really important, she said. The sculpture is now on display outside of the bakery located about a half hour's drive north of San Francisco. Ban Solo is the bakery's entry in the annual downtown benicia main street scarecrow contest public will get the vote on their favorites from among more than two dozen creations entered by local businesses pervins who are big science fiction and fantasy fans entered another star wars theme creation in 2020 featuring the mandalorian and baby. Unfortunately, Pan Solo won't last
Starting point is 01:05:46 forever. The dough eventually will be composted, not eaten. So as a wise Jedi might warn, don't use the forks, Luke. I've never hated an article before. I've never hated any... They couldn't even just leave it at the intro. They had to just bring it full circle. I've never hated any. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:07 They couldn't even just leave it at the intro. They had to, like, just bring it full circle. Yeah. You know what? That sucked is what it did. I will say it doesn't. I don't know. Bread is a relative term. It doesn't look like any bread I've ever seen before.
Starting point is 01:06:21 It looks like dough. Certainly. It does look like dough, yeah. But it definitely doesn't look like bread. No. And also, why don't they call it Han Solo? Yeah, I don't...
Starting point is 01:06:36 Pan Pan Solo? I don't know. Han Solo. Yeah, you'd think Han Solo would have been better Yeah well it's Han Solo I guess whatever the case may be
Starting point is 01:06:50 It's interesting I mean it does look like Han Solo the problem is Is it it looks like Han Solo like got Caught in wax or some shit Like he's like help me I'm stuck It does It's like I will say i went to their website
Starting point is 01:07:08 and i saw they had online ordering i was like oh i wonder how everything sold out every so whatever they did here they clearly made the you know enough sales that it paid off in the long run so good on them oh my god look at this at this. They made a Game of Thrones chair. Out of baguettes? I love that. And it's Game of Scones, apparently. Hilarious, but it's baguettes. Yeah, but it's baguettes. If it was scones, you should have made some scones.
Starting point is 01:07:37 Yeah, they're just doing the bread pun, but you can't just do that and then have a full baguette chair. You can't just do a bread pun. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. Yeah, so get better at your puns, is what we're saying. Also, I don't know where Benicia, California is. Where is that? Whoa.
Starting point is 01:07:52 Okay, that's north of San Francisco. Gotcha. Ah, yeah, it's up north. Yeah. I was like, I've never heard of that. Where is that at? It's between San Francisco and Sacramento, so there you go. There you go.
