Hello everybody, it's time for Ghost on Trend Dog! This is Trend Dog in the morning. In the morning! Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live! Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of C Cox and Crandall in the morning! Ow. Ow! Ow. Ow!

I don't know what was going on there, but here we are. We're here now. Yeah, I guess we're here. Here is where we've arrived and this is where we'll be for a little bit. Yeah, I guess. You are indeed correct. Yes. This is where we shall be Partaking in conversation I still am thinking about that movie from last night I can't get it out of my head

Oh yeah, that was wild For people who missed it, last night Crennor and I on stream watched the movie Primal? Was that it called? Primal? Nick Cage movie from 2019 that looks like it's from like 1994 It had a CGI The White Jaguar They called it the White Jag 2019 that looks like it's from like 1994. It had a CGI white,

the white Jaguar. They call it the white Jag. Yep. It had Jean Grey from X-Men and the dude who was blobbed from X-Men, ironically. And just like, I don't know how to describe it,

except it was, every scene was highly entertaining, but combined together made no sense. It was a movie that made no sense. I loved it. I thought it was great. All I know is it had just so many good tropes and so many weird things. Like the guy initially that was like when the movie opens up and you got the guy who's like senor.

movie opens up and you got the guy who's like senor but then he talks but then he talks like like a guy being like hello i'm an american but then he starts speaking like perfect spanish and you're like oh okay that's and then nick cage is just like i don't need you i'm gonna get my animals and then they go uh on the ship and then they're like oh an assassin's gonna be brought back on the ship which is like the same level of crazy as it is where it's like oh you get to go home in con air and then they're like oh but you got to go home on this plane full of insane super killer the plot of this movie is nick cage is an illegal animal smuggler trying to smuggle a white, the white jag, trying to smuggle it back to the States? Question mark? Maybe Mexico?

I don't know. Needless to say, they also decide the same boat is where the NSA, FBI, question mark, a bunch of Marines, and then for some reason, FAMCA is a Navy Doctor I don't even know But they give you reasoning why he can't go on a plane Which is They're like well he has a medical condition Where if he gets above a certain altitude

He'll die That is absolutely what it was He's got a can't fly-itis Where he can't fly It's like we have to take him on a boat, which is, all right, sure. And then he proceeds to escape. And then the rest of the movie is Nick Cage obsessed with finding the white jag. While everyone else is trying to catch an assassin.

And it's like two separate movies are going on. And it's absolutely insane. A man gets bit by a venomous snake. But the snake, there's no anti-venom yet somehow they're like we can help him one guy every third word he says is goddamn which is hilarious oh yeah the the engineer guy the engineer is like these goddamn snakes are on this goddamn ship and i gotta get the goddamn engine running and I'm out of goddamn cigarettes. You're like, this guy's dialogue is amazing.

It is. And then, yeah, I'm not, gunfights would happen for no reason. Every military special forces guy was the worst at their job. The assassin was smiling the entire film. It was,

everything about this movie was crazy. There's moments where one time it's night and the next moment it's day there's moments where you know they're like where are you i can't remember what nick cage's name was but they're like oh frank they're like where are you frank we need you back here and frank would clearly not have the ability to communicate with them on the ship yet it would the scene would cut and then he'd be with the group somehow Yeah There's one moment where the screen literally just Cuts to black And nothing was resolved

In the middle of a scene it cuts to black And then they move to another scene Like it was insane It was insane and I don't It's on Amazon if you want to go watch it I don't know that I can recommend it But I did love it every minute of it It was weird that's for sure

It was something That's for sure But we did discover That there's two other Nick Cage movies on there First off Face Off which is amazing But then another movie and I can't remember what it was But I was like we gotta watch this What was it I don't remember

Stay tuned for more for sure. We'll come back. Yeah. There's at least two new Nick Cage movies on there. One is a classic, but the other one, I have no idea what it was, but I was like, we got to watch this movie, dude. That's what we're here for. We're here to watch Nick Cage movies online.

That's it. That's pretty much my entire life at this point. If I could just retire and only watch Nick Cage movies, I'd be all right. I'd be all right. Speaking of that, on that stream, you mentioned that you had a crazy day yesterday and then you were like,

I'm going to stop talking. I'm going to have everyone turn into the podcast or tune in to the podcast. Yeah. Turn in, tune in. Well, so my dad's birthday is Monday. Monday's the 7th, right? I think so.

So my dad's birthday is Monday. And my parents wanted to go do stuff. They were like, what are we going to do to celebrate your father's birthday? And we had plans originally to go to dinner at this place. And they were like, eh, whatever. And then they wanted to go to this place called Solvang, which is in California, it's about two hours north of LA, it's near Santa Barbara, it's like up in the mountains, kind of, and I've never been there, and I was like, I'd love to go, and so they decided that instead of doing

it on a Monday, we'd do it yesterday, Saturday, and we, you know, hopped in the car, by the way, my parents are amazing, they never want to do anything during Jesse hours. It always has to be parent time, which means I'm up at like 6.30 in the morning to go pick them up by 7.30 to then drive up into the mountains because they're like, we got to get there early. We got to get there early, Jesse. I'm like, oh my god.

Alright. Like there's any rush to get there, but they're like, we got to get there early. So I picked them up and we drive two and a half hours north. The entire time we're driving up, my mom's like, oh, look at the oh, look at the water. Oh, the ocean. I'm like, I have to drive, mom.

I have to think, oh, look at the mountains are so interesting. Look at the mountains, Jesse. I'm like, I got to drive, mom. Meanwhile, my dad's in the backseat. She could be telling him, and I was like, just talk to dad about it. And my dad was like, I am back here. And then she tries to talk to him about it. My dad

does not care. So anyway, we drive through all these towns, and that's where, you know, it's all these ocean side, beautiful, beautiful towns. But as we're driving through, mom's like, oh, remind me on the way back. We need to stop at an outlet mall.

I'm like, why do we need to stop at an outlet mall, mom? She's like, well, because, you know, I want to get a jacket. I got to get a North Face jacket. I don't want to order one. I want to try it on. I'm like, okay, fine. So, you know, we're just like driving on up there. So, you know, we're just like Driving on up there

And in order to get to Solvang Which is There's one road And it is the windiest Most vomit-inducing road I've ever been on But we finally made it through the road We get there and it is like A little tiny Dutch village

In the mountains And I've never seen anything like it But here's the thing Everyone I talked to Everyone that I mentioned I was going there In the mountains. Huh. And I've never seen anything like it, but here's the thing. Everyone I talked to, everyone that I mentioned I was going there was like, Yo, that place is dope, dude, you're gonna love it. I was like, what? It's pretty freaking cool.

It is, I don't know, like maybe three or four streets worth of town. And all of it is touristy as shit, but it like bakeries and you know winery stuff and uh you know like sausage things and um ironically there was like a greek place and a ramen place for some reason but you know whatever and um it was just like little candy shops and people taking photos with buildings that don't look like they belong in America, that kind of stuff. It was very interesting. So because my mom is that person, as we've talked about many, many times in this podcast, she's like, okay, Jesse, I heard from my friend that the best place to park is this spot. So we're definitely going to go park in that spot. And I was like, okay, sure.

So we find the parking spot that her friend told her to go park at because clearly the eight other parking spots that we saw were not good enough. So we parked at the one parking spot and we got out and I was like, alright, what are we going to do? It's 10.30am. What's our plan?

What are we going to do? Mom was like, there's a place called the Solvang Bakery and we need to go there because I want to get a Danish and some coffee and I heard it's amazing. And we're like, okay. So, where do we go, Mom? She looks at us and she's like, let me type it into my phone. So now she,

let me change that. She doesn't type. She goes, Siri, directions to Solvang Bakery as loud as possible. And Siri's like, Solvang Bakery, as loud as possible. And Siri's like, Solvang Bakery is like, I don't know, that direction. It's about four blocks that way. And we're like, okay, easy. Four blocks, simple.

So we start walking over, and we see all these different places. Everything's closed, by the way. It's Saturday at 1030 in the morning. Most stuff is just opening, right? And so we're walking by. My mom's like, oh, we'll go there later, and we'll go there later. We'll come back and do that. I'm like, okay, fine.

Like, this is your guys' day. This is dad's day. You want to see this stuff? Let's go. So we start to approach the bakery, and according to the little tracker thing on our phone, it's a little bit to the left. But directly in front of us is another bakery. And it's like, admittedly, it looks warm and inviting.

And we couldn't see the Solvang Bakery. So she's like, we're going to go there instead. All right. You said you want to go to a specific bakery, but I guess we're going to the B Bakery instead. We walk in and it looks like the inside, all of it looked really delicious. It was very, I got like a cherry Danish. It was great. But as my mom was getting the Danish, I went to go get coffee. And there was a very nice woman who, I don't know, I'm going to say 40, 50 maybe, who was there.

And she was, you know, just making the coffee and stuff. And I started talking to her, and she was like, so what can I get you, hon? And I'm like, you know, she was doing, like, putting on the works for me, and I was, yeah, well, you know, I'm here with my parents, I'm doing this thing, and she's like, oh, that's so sweet, hon. What can I get you? I'm like, oh, I would love to get two regular coffees, one decaf.

And she's like, okay. So we start doing this thing, and she's like, do you need any cream or sugar? I'm like, I don't know, let me ask my mom. I'm like, mom, do we need cream or sugar? And my mom is caught up in her own world of picking pastry. She does not hear me. And so rather than shout again, I just like turn back around. I'm like, I guess I'll find out in a minute.

And the woman who I was talking with, she's like, no matter what, kids always shout, hey, mom, at some point. I was like, yeah, I think I've just learned to not follow up with like a louder hey, mom, or my mom's name because I know she still won't respond because when she's in her world, she's in her world. And so she's like, yeah, kids never really change. And I was like, that's true. That's true. So I took the coffee, went over to my mom, was like, do you need cream or sugar? And then this woman comes over to the table with cream and sugar. And she's like, don't worry, hon.

I got you. And I was like, oh, girl. So we ate this Danish stuff. It was delicious. It was fine. Everything was great. And then we, um, left to go spend our day in the town. Now I had no idea what my parents wanted to do. And honestly, I don't think they knew what they wanted to do. And so we just walked around a bunch Like for hours Just walking around Looking at things in the town Like we went to

A like mystic shop Or something Like it was like a weird mystic shop And they have like a bunch of you know like Crystals and shit in there And my mom was eating it up My dad was like looking at stuff And I was like I keep forgetting my parents

are really into this stuff. They don't buy any of it, but they definitely like looking. And so you know, they went around and looked at different things and then my dad made a fun of me because he saw a bunch of like very weird looking ultra sexualized figures.

And he was like, oh, it's like the statues Jesse has in his office. I was like, got me. You got me, dude. Alright. You know, oh, it's like the statues Jesse has in his office. I was like, got me. You got me, dude. Alright. We went to a candy shop and they had all these candies. Remember the salted licorice that people kept trying to give us? They had a bunch of that and they had giant peppermint sticks. I watched a girl make the peppermint sticks. That was pretty neat. My mom, we go to this candy shop, my mom buys honey And her reasoning was

Oh this is the same honey I get except this is $4 cheaper And I was like oh well You'd be a fool not to buy it And admittedly it wasn't that long After we had Danish and coffee That my parents were like Yo you want to get sausage I was like what?

Like yeah the sausage and beer place is open. Let's go there. So I'm still full from the previous meal because that wasn't like some baby Danish. It was like a big-ass honking chonker. It was like flaky and crusty and delicious and shit. It was perfect. We go to the sausage place, and they're like, my parents are like, so what do you want to get?

I'm like, I don't know. I guess like sausage and a beer and my mom was like okay so let's let's do this thing so my dad wanted to split a beer with me and he wanted like a kielbasa and i wanted a thing that was like a three pepper sausage i knew it was gonna be spicy as hell which is why i got it so no one would try to eat it from me that's's how I operate with my parents. If I remember with them, they always try to share everything I eat. I was like, not today, haters. So I got a super spicy sausage. My mom got a pretzel and like some dry cider. And now it's, you know, we're sitting there eating this stuff.

I did enjoy the fact that this was an outdoor restaurant and they had about 18 types of mustard. And then they had an entire condiment section that had, you know, like sauerkraut and onions and jalapenos and relish. Like all sorts of stuff. That I dug. That was great. However, I was still full. I was like, oh, boy.

So then I ate that sausage because I'm not going to not eat the sausage. And then we decided to walk around some more because mom was like, well, we got to walk off that food. I'm like, okay. Somebody walked around a bunch more to the point where my mom finally said, we should go to the Solvang Bakery. And I'm like, what? So she's like,

yeah, for the way home, we can get a bunch of food and I'll take it home. Like, okay. So we walk all the way back. So we're at the other end of the city. Now we walk all the way back to where the Solvang bakery was. We can't find it. My mom can't find it. I'm like, hold on. I'll just, it's like right here. Let me just find it. And so it was like a little alcove and my mom walked in, gave it about three seconds of a look, walked right out. And she goes, I like the first bakery you went to.

And so rather than go to the place you want to go to the entire time, we ended up at the bakery we were at. I was like, why? And she goes, you know what? I tasted it. I liked it. The food here, I don't know what it tastes like. So I'd rather go with the thing I know that I like. And I was like, okay.

So we went back to the other bakery, bought some Danish things to take home. And my mom was like, all right, well, that was what a lovely day. It might have been, I don't even know, 2.30. We barely spent. They made it seem like this was our entire day. No, we got there at 10.30 like this was our entire day. No. We got there at 1030. We were out by 230.

I mean, there's really only so much you can do at a place like that. Agreed. Completely agreed. And my parents aren't going to, like, there was a lot of wine places, a lot of beer hall things. My parents aren't that. So, like, there was one was one place, there was one like little tiny restaurant that when you went inside, one wall was all cured meats. They had like a ham on a rack that was probably very expensive. And then a bunch of weird organic wines that I was like, this is the, like when I hear

that Alex goes there, this is the spot I know he goes to. Oh yeah. Like that kind of vibe. I was like, oh, the meats here look insane. This is an Alex spot. And so, like, that kind of, if I went with friends, I guarantee we could spend a whole day there just, like,

bar hopping and eating weird shit and, like, just walking around the city. Like, there was stuff to do. Just, I don't know, there was a lot of, like, Jesse and his parents' stuff to do. So, 2.30 was our limit. We started driving home. Now, mind you, this is Jesse Cox driving home.

So I'm like, oh, my God. Another two hours driving home. This will be fun. So get in the car. We start driving home. Thankfully, my parents finally – I don't know what happened. But I think it's because my favorite music – like when I turn on the radio, I might be listening to songs from like the 90s sometimes. And I think because they're now classified as like classics, my parents vibe them tremendously.

I'm driving home listening to like 90s music and my parents are feeling it. And then I changed the radio station and I think some song was on. It was like a Kendrick Lamar song. Mom was like, this is too loud. And I was like, what do you mean? She's like, the bass, it hurts my ears. I was like, oh, my God, Mom. But I will say Lizzo, they jammed.

They jammed hard with Lizzo. She's like, it's about damn time. They were in it. They felt it. Your dad's like, it is about damn time. They were in it. They felt it. So your dad's like, it is about damn time. So it is. Yeah, it was great. So like sometimes it works, but a lot of time my parents are like that bass is too loud.

I'm like, okay, all right. So so I'm driving back and mom was like, remember, we got to go to the outlet mall. I'm like, yeah, yeah, I got you. So we go to the outlet mall and I'm thinking it's going to take day it's gonna be the worst like this everything else has been lovely the outlet mall i hate going to the mall with my parents because they want to try everything on and do it i'm just like oh no so we get there we go to north face we walk inside my mom's like okay what do i want i want like a puffy jacket that's not too puffy and not too hot, but also doesn't have a hoodie, but also is black.

And she has all these criteria in her mind about what she wants. We spend, I don't know, 5, 10, 15 minutes walking around, looking at stuff. And mom is like, I don't know, like it is a hoodie. We're trying to find stuff. Bless, I think her name was Stephanie. Bless this sweet woman, one of the people that worked there. She's like, can I help you? And I was like, oh my God, yes.

And my mom described what she wanted. And this girl, like a pinpoint assassin, finds the exact thing. I don't know, 15 minutes. She found the perfect, most flattering looking jacket I've ever seen in my entire life. And I was like, how on earth did we luck out like this? We were in and out. It was the most, I was like, this is perfect. And then like, we're on our way.

Drove back. No fuss. Everything was fine. And then my mom said, this has been a great day. We didn't even run into traffic. 45 minutes of LA traffic. You never say that like i the minute she said i was like no the minute she said it i knew we were screwed because it was like i don't know

3 35 in the afternoon on a saturday i was like we're doomed yeah so we roll up in there and i was like no we spent so long stuck in traffic. What would have taken normally five minutes to get home took us 45. That's how bad the traffic was. Oh, I lost my mind. There was a moment. The speed limit was 65. We were going like five miles an hour. I was losing my mind.

It was the worst. So, like any other day in L.A., that's what that was. But, yeah, everything, like, surprisingly, very fun day with the parents. Who knew? Huh. Look at that. And now I can say I've been to the place that all these other people I know have been to. I enjoyed it, and I would happily go back.

You know the places to go and the places to avoid, like that bakery. and the places to avoid, like that bakery. That bakery that my mom wanted to go to so badly and simply did not. Sometimes you find weird routes to take. You're like you want to go for something, and then you just get diverted and you find something even better. I told my mom this. I think she got marketing hit. Like she – so like you know how if you want to signal to someone that it's healthy, you color it green?

Or if you – like the tips when you look at like how to paint a room and how if you paint one wall one color or you – like how it can change the perspective, right? The place that she went to, the place that we went to actually twice, was like open and inviting. And it was very light colored. And everything about it seemed like family friendly. And like when we went back there the second time, the woman who was there who gave us coffee earlier was like, you couldn't stay away from me, could you? Like that kind of stuff. Yeah. It was very – meanwhile, the place she always wanted to go was like a very small hallway.

The bakery looked like the food had been there for i don't know it just didn't look as appealing not because it wasn't as fresh because the room was brown and the floor the tiles were like old and so it had this vibe of like it didn't look like you were getting quality right Right. When all the reviews she saw online said it was the best stuff in the area. I think she got marketed to. I think she did get marketed to. Plus, you never know when you

go online, you look and some things get sponsored, but they hide that little sponsored text or something like, oh, this place is great. You go on Yelp and it's only up there because they sponsored it. That's like when I go to, sometimes I'll go to Etsy to look for weird shit for projects here in the

office. When we did some of the shoots for Gentleman's Gaming Club, I'd go on Etsy and buy props and stuff. When I was on there, when you type in stuff, it would give you a list, but the top row would be sponsored stuff. But you wouldn't realize it unless you really looked.

And so I'd be like, why is it suggesting this thing when I typed in Dead Space 3 helmet? I'm like, what the hell? And it's because it was a sponsored thing that was there. Yeah. Yeah. That's, you know, maybe that's what happened. Maybe. It was a weird, it was like a weird moment where I was like, I think my mom got got.

Like, she was dead set on this thing and then so quickly changed her mind. Where she was like, you know what? I like this better. It was delicious. It was like we were there and everything, everyone seemed like fine. And admittedly, the one we went to first The people at the counter Were very kind There was like people walking around checking out the bakery stuff

And it seemed really cool The one we went to later The counter people were there but they just kind of looked at us And waited for us to make up our mind And when we went to the You know the first one They were like interacting with us Like I said the one woman was flirting with me, but obviously was just, like, this is how I deal with customers, like that kind of thing.

Yeah. But it works. You feel, like, a little more like, I would like to go back there. So I understand why she did it, but, damn, they got her. Like, it was very obvious she got got. With the other one, the old one, it was like old and like it just felt old and like the people weren't interacting but like did it at least look good or no i mean it looked good to the point where my and i think this is the problem with the fact if you go to

like a danish town or whatever in the united states like this. So the one we went to later, my dad saw a loaf of like raisin bread with like an icing drizzle on it. Yeah. And it was very obvious that he wanted it. But like, you know, my dad doesn't say anything. He never says he will look at a thing, give every intention of wanting it and then be like, no. Right.

So when we went to the second one, they had the exact same loaf just with a different wrapper but it looked the exact same so I feel like in terms of quality it's all roughly the same I'm not gonna you know what I mean the one we ended up at was like been around since 1981 and the other one was like been around since 1980 so like really

at the end of the day I don't think there's that big of a deal in actual overall quality. Yeah. I get that. There's only, like, so many ways you can make a pastry as well. Usually it's, like, if it's fresh is the most, like, appealing thing of, like, ah, we just got this out of the oven. Versus, like, yeah, these have been here since yesterday. Right.

this out of the oven versus like, yeah, these have been here since yesterday. Right, and I think that's why my mom went with what she knew, because the place we went to was very obviously fresh. We ate it there. It tasted fresh. She had a bit of mine. She got a cheese danish. I got a cherry one. My dad

got, I think, apricot, I think? And he, you know, we all loved it. It was delicious. So I think because she saw that it pleased three of us, she was like, yeah, okay, that's the spot, which I can't fault her for. That seems accurate. I would do that. If I like knew if I had solid evidence, I'd be like, okay, yeah, that made everyone happy.

And so we went there, we bought the same loaf, like the loaf my dad was looking at of that raisin bread with the icing thing. I was like, dad wanted that at the other place. And my mom was like, okay, let's get it. And of course he was happy. He didn't admit he was happy, but I could tell he was happy he got it. Yeah.

Well, that's a fun trip. A fun little adventure. I'm all about fun little adventures. I would love to have more. I'm down to do more adventures. Not necessarily with my parents. Because, you know, sometimes I want to listen to music that has a little bass to it

mom that bass is making me rumble I don't like rumbling it was so funny that music was playing and my mom was like what's that noise I'm like what do you mean she's like it's like making me uncomfortable I'm like you mean the bass she's like yeah I don't like it I was like mom mom like it i was like mom mom i uh i have the same thing but with old timey music i don't like that like you know what i mean i did i do know what you mean there's a game that we played uh called madison on scary game squad and one of the big tropes of a lot of scary games they have, like for some reason a record player that plays like, you're gonna die, baby, like that kind of stuff. But in Madison, the song they play is, Krendor, if you listen to it, you would lose your mind. It is like, Blondie is behind you. And the music is like so great.

It's terrifying. behind you. And the music is like so great. It's terrifying. But it is that same I know exactly what you mean because every time it played I would physically get uncomfortable. Yeah. Because it was so like it pierced my it was awful. It was awful. It's got that graininess

to it from the record player. Yes. Yes. And it's just like to you my doll I'll be you. And I'm just, it just makes me depressed. Like, I think back to the 1940s, like, whenever it was, I'm like, dude, this just makes me want to drink. Like, no wonder. My God.

It's really upsetting. You're right. And when my grandparents were still alive, we'd be at their house. And this was my grandparents on my mom's side. And they would, every once in a while, play some music that was like their music. That shit was like My darling dear

I want to take you away from the war. And you're like, the fuck? Maybe everyone was just depressed, so they made depressing music. Probably. That's gotta be what it was. You go back, it's not just old music. You got, like, some classical, were like, yo, let's go.

Yeah, of course. Absolutely. There's like a period of time where I think the thing was to have a crooner. But it's not even a crooner. It's like whatever the precursor of that is. Because during that time period, there was also jazz and big band. That existed. also like you know jazz and big band like there's that existed but for some reason there was this weird like old creepy white dude music that was like my darling dear i want to shower you with roses and but the music in the background is like It is perfectly made for a haunting.

Like, they knew then making it, and a hundred years from now, this is the shit that plays when a ghost kills you. It sounds like Curly from the Three Stooges. Just, like, singing the song. Yes. It's quite bad. So, yeah, I guess I can't fault my mom, but I just thought it was very funny that she was like, what's that noise? And I will say, sometimes the bass is like deep bass. And so I think I understand what she was referring to because it doesn't sound like bass, like a bass guitar or normal bass.

It's like that bass that's designed to shake your speakers. You know what I mean? Right. But that's like a sound profile yeah like that too is music yeah like i'm not gonna sit here and be like you know the music my grandparents listened to was shit because it sounded weird they clearly loved it i'm just like i don't know about that's for me i think uh music in general is just kind of your own personal taste. I mean, there's also people that are like, oh, man. I mean, there's probably kids nowadays who are like, I love 80s music.

And then there's probably people from the 80s that didn't like 80s music. You've got people all over the place. Yeah, I mean, my dad is a great example of when I was younger and I would listen to ska music, my dad would be into it. And I never truly understood why, but then listening to his music that he loves, like Chicago and stuff like that, it's like, oh, this is literally horns. I get why you like that.

I understand that really, genre music is what it is and doesn't really change all that much despite generational differences. Like, all right, yeah. yeah like even when you listen to you know going back to lizzo as an example some of that music literally just could easily be transplanted back 30 40 years like it's not truly different it's just you know the way that music is done be it through synth or be it through like deep bass or be it through like Drops and shit like it's all it's all you know it's just a different way of expressing yourself in a certain way

Oh my god, which by the way can I just say that I hate when people sample giant parts of songs What do you mean by this okay okay so for example i heard this started i heard like some pop song whatever they took i'm blue like i'm blue and they like made they're like i'm blue and i feel bad and i'm something i'm sad like i was like what the shit is this I'm sad like I was like what the shit is this it just like made me angry I was like this is like they're

taking the entire chorus of the original song and they're just making a new song to it and then the it happened again somebody did uh it was the weekend he took that city pop song and he like

sang over it. And then there's a bunch of people being like, yo, I love this. This song's great. It gives me an 80s vibe. It's because it's a literal City Pop Japanese 80s song that he took. And I don't mind if they sample little bits of it, but it's like they just sing over the entire song. It just feels lazy. I need you to know, I have the perfect example of this.

So we're in the car. We're driving back. And on the radio comes Under Pressure. Oh, yeah. They did that. My mom, I swear to God, my mom as the song plays goes, Ice, ice, baby. And I laughed so hard.

I was like, are you kidding me? That's what I'm talking about. exactly oh yeah and then exactly what was the jessica simpson did the same thing she took the what was that song god uh was it a david bowie song i remember she took some song and i remember being like oh it's this song and then you just hear jessica simpson start saying i'm like what it oh, it's this song. And then you just hear Jessica Simpson start saying, I'm like, what? It's the it's her. I think I'm in love with you. It's like.

Did it. That one. What? God, who made that? She sampled Jack and Diane. That's it. Yes, yes, yes. That song.

Yeah, but she did. I think that I'm in love with you. I just hate it. It just feels lazy. You know what I mean? It reminds me. It feels like the video game company is pumping out like all of duty over and over again. All these things.

They were like, oh, this worked before. We'll just do it again. But like sing something different. Like I hate it. The person I think who is criminally responsible for this, P. Diddy. I don't want to start a beef with P. Diddy, but I feel like it needs to be acknowledged. Back when P. Diddy

was putting out music, I'll Be Missin' You, that song, he's like, I'll be missin' you. That song? He sang, he did that song for the Godzilla soundtrack that was literally just Led Zeppelin, and he changed nothing? Yeah.

He's a criminal mastermind of that shit. And that is, it happens way too frequently. And it's almost, they're like one joke away from being Weird Al. Yeah, exactly. Okay, like when Weird Al does it, at least you're like, oh, he's doing parodies. He's making goofs and whatever. But like this, they're making an actual real song, but they're just sampling the entire song. I don't care if they sample maybe a small clip or a little sound or whatever. You're like, oh, that's a similar sound.

They do the whole song. I'm like, what? Apparently people like it, but of course they're gonna like it because the songs prior to that were successful like I don't mind like okay well as an EDM person okay like in trance and stuff people do remixes I'm like I think remixes are different because it's like they're saying oh hey I like the original and here's my version of that like here's my take on it like I think that's fine because then you're like still giving credit to the main song you're like oh you could go listen to the original whatever But this is like they're just like yeah, I'm just gonna sample the whole thing and now it's mine

Like I don't know they take credit for it being success Yeah, but the success comes from the fact that as you, the song was amazing to begin with. Yeah. It bothers me. I can tell. I've never, this is the most passionate I've ever seen you. I think it's just because, like, it feels like they're, like, tainting the past. You know what I mean? Like, it's just, and then it feels like, it's almost like with the, like, speaking of the Jessica Simpson one, I feel like I heard that before I heard the Jack and Diane song.

And so then, when I hear the Jack and Diane song, I'm like, oh, this is like the Jessica Simpson song. But no, it was the opposite. But I didn't know that. I was, you know, growing up with that music. And so I heard that, and I was like, what? Right? And, you know, you're getting tricked. It almost feels like you're getting tricked.

That makes me angry. Like, it's like if somebody took my Lucky Do rap and then they, like, made their own song out of the Lucky Do rap beat and then everyone liked it. I'd be like, that's my Lucky Do rap. Right? I almost feel like I should totally just take your Lucky Do song and just be like, Final Fantasy XIV is the game for me.

What do you do when you play that game? It's so lucky when you play the game. A really shitty version. You're not even singing along to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But your song is just in the background. That would be pretty good. Be like,

I heard you hate this, so here's my tribute to you. Yeah, that's... I don't know. That's... I hate it. It's dumb. You know what you shouldn't hate?

Alright, let's go chopper. So the Catholic rather than travel. Oh boy traffic is getting crazier Like you said holidays are picking up people starting to travel again. It's getting wacky wild Also, if you're gonna travel watch out if you're walking because of the old plantar fasciitis it hit me it could hit you too plantar fasciitis back to you what do you mean it hit you what do you mean it hit you i got hit by the plantar fasciitis what does that mean how do you you just like your foot hurt like the sole of your foot hurt pretty much uh so i noticed i've been walking a lot more especially because before uh when i had covid i couldn't really go to the gym or exercise a lot so i just go walking i was like all right

get some walks in so i think a lot of walking and everything has just aggravated my uh my foot and so if you don't know what plantar fasciitis is let me see if it actually explains it better on the internet the okay an inflammation of a thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes the inflamed tissue runs across the bottom of the foot so pretty much it just the bottom of your foot hurts a lot of times usually when you walk too it's usually it's primarily when you walk be honest a lot of times it's also from uh calf muscle stuff because it all connects i was doing some calf raises so i think that aggravated it and then uh you gotta do calf stretches loosen that up and uh pretty much just rest and then

might be my shoes too i don't know i. I might need new shoes. We'll see. It's not a, it's not apparently a lot of runners and athletes and stuff. Get it. Or people that work a lot like standing. All right. I mean, I guess I'm trying to figure out,

I was typing in trying to figure out, um, what my, so, you know, like sometimes it hasn't happened. You know what? I'm gonna knock on wood like crazy.

It hasn't happened in three years, but every so often I will wake up the next morning from sleep, and the sole of my foot, I will have sprained or I don't know what I've done to it. I couldn't tell you. Like right on the arch. Yeah, that's plantar fasciitis. It's usually worse in the morning. Well, it is. Here's the thing.

I will always have it. I'll go to bed, wake up the next day, and I have it. I'm like, what? And then for like a week, I can't walk on that leg. Yeah, that's the plantar fasciitis. But how did I get it sleeping, Crandall? How did I get it sleeping? Actually, I think I was reading that when you sleep, you sleep in a position, your body just naturally, like, makes your foot go to a position that's bad for your arch and everything.

So it makes it worse. Well, what I have come to understand is that I think I tucked my sheets in too tight. I was on that, like, I don't know what I learned, but I watched some video online about how to really make your sheets look nice. Because I got on that whole like I'm going to take care of my living situation. I'm going to always do the dishes right away. I'm going to keep my bed nice and clean. I wanted my home to be nice, right? And so I got big on this taking care of stuff.

my home to be nice right and so i got big on this taking care of stuff and i think i learned to tuck my my sheets in in a way that was almost military-esque but it looked very nice but it was very tight and what would end up happening is i think i'd slide into those covers and then probably would turn in the middle of the night and my foot just wouldn't turn with me because it was tucked in with those sheets i think maybe that's what happened. I do not know. But now when I do my sheets all nice, before I go to bed, I untuck the side of the bed that I'm going to sleep on

just so it's loose. Haven't had that issue for like three or four years. Wow. That's pretty cool. I know. So maybe that was it. I have no idea. But now I think I got plantar fasciitis or some nonsense.

It says morning pain is from the sudden tension of the plantar fascia as it gets stretched after shortening overnight. Because you're not using it. And so the muscle shortens in the tendon or whatever. And then you wake up. And it's like, what? Now that makes me think about, like, what if you went into cryo sleep? Like in the movies, they put someone to cryo sleep, and they wake up, they're like, oh, thank God, you saved me from cryo sleep.

Would you wake up like... You probably would. Like, your entire body's just like... I'd say so. Like, everything's all, like, tightened up and stiff. Yeah. Obviously, they're not going to show that in a movie or something, but, like, in real life, yeah, you'd probably wake up and be like, You would be a mess, right?

You'd be a mess. You'd have to fall out a bit. That's the old traffic. All right, let's go to weather. Weather. We got weather for you. Weather. We got weather for you.

Us. We got a recommendation for Cooper Petty from Nicholas Barker. They said a place so barren that they moved underground and became mole men. That's all I need to say. Wait, what? How do you spell Cooper Petty? Here you go. Cooper Petty.

Oh, that's not how I thought it was spelled at all. And it is Australia, no wonder. Right. Dude, dude, I can't even begin. When Crandor said that they moved underground and became mole men, I need you all to, I am looking at images of Cooper Petty, and it is 100% mole man. 100%.

It's crazy. I've never seen anything like this. This is good enough. Woppy should kick in. Woppy. Woppy activated. Cooper Petty, South Australia, Australia, 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooper, petty. South Australia, Australia. 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

I must stress to you, if you have time, go and just go look at this place.

Because it is fascinating. I guess this, in 1915 in the Outback, a boy found an opal gemstone, and because of that, people flocked to the area to dig for opal. And I guess a town was born from that.

Because it's so hot, everyone lives underground now. For the most part. And. That's crazy. And there's like several. It says there's a few thousand people that live there today. And.

You could. If you want to go there. Things you can do include. Literally just digging for opal. Which I think is fascinating. Then. There's also. If you. There's fascinating Then There's also There's an actual underground hotel

This is the hotel Here's the link to it If you want to see it It's desertcave.com.au And it's the Desert Cave Hotel You can literally look at the accommodations And it's an underground Here's a bed underground

Oh my god It's absolutely crazy And it's an underground, like, here's a bed underground. Oh, my God. It's absolutely crazy. I've never seen anything like this. This is amazing. But what's even crazier is they're like, can't afford a hotel? Well, there's an underground campground. Underground.

That you can pay $16 Australian dollars per person to stay at and pitch a tent underground in an abandoned mine. Oh, my God. Yeah, look at this. Most residents still live underground. Some dugouts are absolutely huge. One was by a handyman named Rod Wells, which I think is a great underground man name. It is. Who has an indoor pool

and an underground beauty parlor used by his beautician wife. Oh my god. They have signs posted everywhere that say unmarked holes because of all the holes dug that are massively deep shafts where it's like don't run, don't walk

backwards, beware deep shafts. it's like, don't run, don't walk backwards, beware deep shafts. This is insane. They've got a golf course, which I think is amazing. I've never seen anything like this. This is absolutely insane. This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. This is actually insane. When you said Mole Man Town, I thought it was going to be like, you know, kind of whatever.

It's almost the opposite of those towns way up in either northern Canada or near the Arctic Circle. It's like one hotel where everyone lives and then everything around is forest because no one wants to. Everything's inside. It's so cold. This is the opposite. Everyone's underground because it's so hot. This is the opposite. Everyone's underground because it's so hot. Oh my God.

You need to look at this. It's Crocodile Harry's underground nest and bug out. Yep. Crocodile Harry's. Looks like Crocodile Harry's all right.

Crocodile Harry. And it just looks like a cave. There's so many weird things. This is fascinating. It looks like people living on Mars. It really does. Like, there's this one shot of a generator outside, but everyone's living in the cave. But there's, like, generators outside.

It looks like some sort of like Space world It looks like if The world ended This is how people would live There is a van that has a crocodile With a naked woman Hell yes There's actually a shot of someone's home

That has like It looks like something out of Silent Hill It is The lower half of Silent Hill It is The lower half of a woman's body Glued to another lower half of a woman's body Making a full human Absolutely insane There's uh

This is so Good day from Crocodile Harry's And it's a gator miner I guess Dude this is fascinating They're like So Kyle Harry's and it's a gator miner, I guess. Yep. Dude, this is fascinating. Is there like, where's the closest above ground? According to this one website, it says 280 miles away.

Oh my God. That's insane. Yeah. There is a place called Spiros that looks, or Spiros It looks like a An actual building, a physical brick building Outside, and it says Internet access, video games, DVDs, opal Souvenirs, jewelry, fossils So I guess it's a tourist like

This is the last place you'll get before you're underground Ah, I see Oh my god, there's an underground church That shit's wild Oh I understand now This makes perfect sense So

The reason why it looks so Spacey to us Hollywood goes there often Apparently Film crews often go there because it looks like Other planets or post apocalypse And so Movies like Pitch Black

Mad Max, Red Planet Until the End of the World were shot there As well as Priscilla, Queen of the Desert So like there's a lot of places were shot there Because it looks so foreign and weird And yeah that checks out It looks insane. What do you

know? That's crazy. I love that. Yo, good call on the suggestion. Yeah. Hey, good job, commenters. That one got me. Usually I'm like, oh, that's so beautiful. What a nice... This one's like fascinating. Yeah,

this one is crazy. Oh, and that's the weather. Alright a nice. This one's like fascinating. Yeah, this one is crazy. Oh, and that's the weather. All right. Let's go to sports. Sports. Over at the sports desk. We've had a lot of sports happening today. First, football. We had the Eagles Texans play in the Eagles one on Thursday.

Then today, the Patriots beat the Colts. Lions beat the Packers. Chargers beat the Falcons. Jots beat the Colts. Lions beat the Packers. Chargers beat the Falcons. Jets beat the Bills. Vikings beat the Commanders. Bengals beat the Panthers. Jaguars beat the Raiders. Dolphins beat the Bears. Seahawks beat the Cardinals. Buccaneers beat the Rams. And Titans are currently beating the Chiefs.

We'll see how that plays out. Over in the NBA. Steelers bye week. Bye week for the Steelers. We're good. We're fine. For the Steelers. That is true. Bucs in first place. 9-0 in the East with the Cavs, 8-1 right behind them. You got the Suns in first place with the Jazz and Grizzlies right behind them over there. Then in hockey, you got the Bruins in first. You got the New Jersey Devils in first.

You got the Dallas Stars in first. And you got the Vegas Golden Knights in first. And in baseball, the Houston Astros have won the World Series. So the baseball season is officially over. Speaking of which, did you see that guy who won, I think, $75 million betting on the Astros? I did not see that. What? Man wins.

I'm going to look this up. Yeah. I like how I typed in man wins 75. Mattress Mac was his name. Mattress Mac, who looks like an old man, who would definitely be a gambler. Yeah. Had the world's largest legal sports bet payout

when Mattress Mac earned $75 million when the Astros beat the Phillies. The 71-year-old tweeted a photo, or I guess a photo was tweeted out of him. Oh my god, Mattress Mac, this is his Twitter account. The best part is, Mattress Mac is verified. Twitter account boy the best part is mattress Mac is verified here's the thing in order to win that much money he had to bet like millions well here's the thing it says according to his thing mattress Mac is the founder of gallery furniture so yeah he definitely yeah it was like the thing is the Astros were a favorite to win the World Series so like betting on them was like you know

an obvious choice but yeah he must have he must have bet millions to do that I wonder what the payout was or if he had like a certain like oh it's in this many games or this many you know how gambling is when it's like it isn't just like who won

it's like how much they win by and what was the spread of this and like who got the home runs and whatever you know the spread uh this says in october he had 10 million in bets on the astros to win the world series so he had 10 million in bets on it that's why he got 75 million yeah $75 million. Yeah. Hold on, hold on, hold on. What is this? Mattress Mac said he would use the $75 million to cover the cost of new promotion in his Houston area gallery furniture stores

where he said anyone who spends $3,000 or more on a mattress would get their entire purchase for free. What? That doesn't make any sense. There's got to be a limit. He said he would use the $75 million to cover the costs On new promotion Which said anyone who spends $3,000 or more

On mattresses would get the entire purchase free That's what it says here That doesn't make any sense Maybe people They already had to buy it on the day Cause if it means going forward That's like I mean like that's That is certainly a lot of money.

But I guess $75 million, I guess. I don't know. It's got to be a fine print thing where it's like, you get any furniture you want. And then it's like up to an amount of like $5,000. But here's the thing. This guy, you're right. This guy has a lot of money to throw around. According to this article, he won $15 million when the University of Kansas won the men's NCAA basketball tournament in April. But he also lost $10 million in February when he bet that the Cincinnati Bengals would win the Super Bowl.

And he lost $1.5 million on the Kentucky Derby. Yeah, so, you know, it's the person who's always like, hey, I made a bunch of money at the casino today, and then it's like, I also lost a bunch of money that I didn't talk about. Yeah, it's like when you go look at dudes on Reddit who are in that, like, big gamba thing, you know,

they're all talking about how much money they're putting in the stock market and what they're investing in stuff, and then you see, like, oh, I made eight million dollars today, and everyone's, like, thrilled and losing their mind, but then you see like oh I made 8 million dollars today And everyone's like thrilled and losing their mind But then you see they invested like 7.5 million Oh okay

So you were rich to begin with Well that changes everything I never trust any of that Meanwhile I'm over here like I put 400 dollars into the stock market And I'm like I'm not earning any money. Weird how that is. Well, most of the time, it's like long-term smart investments.

$400 isn't going to get you anything ever. Ever. There is no like, I put $400 in and now I'm a millionaire. That just doesn't happen. Yeah. Most of it's just like you're putting it in so you can take it out like 10 years later. Yeah. Or whatever.

Way down the line. Where am I? What is this? That was sports. All right. What's our fact of the day? Fact of the day. I like how I sang it in that music I said I hate.

Fact of the day. Yeah, no, I'm aware. I heard. Oh, have we done this one? I don. They're facts. I'm aware. I heard. Have we done this one? I don't think we have. The majority of people in Iceland believe in elves. We've never done that, and I absolutely love that fact. A 2007 University of Iceland survey found that 62% of Icelanders believe in real-life elves. In fact, in 2014,

protesters claimed a proposed highway would destroy an elf church, which to many was just a gigantic rock. Eventually, the church was moved to a safe place so that it would not be harmed and the construction continued. Though the rock weighed about 70 tons and required a crane to move it the preservation of places important to elves is significant to icelanders the country's elf history dates back to viking era poems from around the year 1000 to icelanders these elves are not tiny figures who build toys for santa they actually look very much like humans and can range in size many believe that grave misfortune will befall those who dare

build an elf territory, even though it cannot be seen, hence the church preservation. I want to let you know that I went to go look this up and see like, alright, what do Icelanders think, right? I hope they're called Icelanders. Whatever the

case may be, I was like, okay, what do they think about this? This is absolutely, like, this is a dude from Iceland, basically like, look, to say that Icelanders, that we believe in elves is not true. That's not true. But,

we're unwilling to deny that they exist, which is the same thing as saying that you believe they exist. They're like, we don't think they're real, but we won't say that. No, I'm not saying, you know, I don't think they're real, but I'm not going to say they're not real. Yeah, he's like, look, we respect the traditions and myths and popular beliefs of our shared history. And look, we tread lightly when we enter elf territory, but it's not that we believe in elves. We're just unwilling to say that they didn't exist, which is like the same thing. A person who's like not really religious, but wants to hedge their bets.

Like, look, I don't believe I'm not saying I believe in God, but I'm not Saying God doesn't exist, like that kind of thing Yeah Like, okay, alright, sure That's really funny So yeah, elves, I mean, who knows Maybe they're in Iceland, we don't know I would love, I would love like a few sexy Elves to show up and be like, hello

Jesse, my name is Fandanfanel The elf Of Glorfindil I've come for your services to carry the one ring And I'd be like, I'm in, let's fucking go Jesse, my name is Fandan Fanal, the elf of Glorfindel. I've come for your services to carry the One Ring. And I'd be like, I'm in. Let's fucking go. You literally just want Lord of the Rings elves.

Yeah. Badly. Very badly, yes. All right. That's your fact of the day. All right. What's our big news story of the day? I was going to do Venomous C cobra missing for six days in Swedish zoo located,

but still free because it tied into the Nick Cage thing. That's very funny. I love that it's located, but they're like, we don't want to mess with it. That guy's venomous. Then there's young bird may have set nonstop distance record by flying from Alaska to Australia, which we were just talking about Australia. Oh, my God. That's amazing. How do you do that? I don't know. Let's find out.

Okay. Canberra, Australia. A young bar-tailed godwit appears to have set a non-stop distance record for migratory birds by flying at least 13,560 kilometers, or 8,435 miles

from Alaska to the Australian state of Tasmania the bird was tagged as a hatchling in Alaska during the northern hemisphere summer a tracking GPS chip and a tiny solar panel that enabled an international research team to follow its first annual migration across the pacific ocean bird life Tasmania con convener Eric Wohler said because the bird was so young, its gender wasn't known. Aged about five months, it left southwest Alaska at the Yuko Kuskoquim Delta on October 13th and touched down 11 days later at Anson's Bay on the island of Tasmania's northeastern tip on October 24th, according to data from Germany's Max Planck Institute for Ornithology. The research has yet to be published or peer-reviewed.

The bird started on a southwestern course towards Japan, then turned southeast over Alaska's Aleutian Islands, a map published by New Zealand's Pukoro Miranda Shorebird Center shows. I feel like this article is just trying to get me to read crazy names and words. I'm here for it. I'm here for it. The bird was again tracking southwest when it flew

over near Kiribati and New Caledonia, then past the Australian mainland before turning directly west for Tasmania, Australia's most southerly state the satellite trail showed it covered 13,560 kilometers without stopping whether this is an accident

whether the bird got lost or whether this is part of a normal pattern of migration for the species we still don't know said Waller who's part of the research project Guinness World Records lists the longest recorded migration by a bird without stopping for food or rest as 12 200 kilometers or 75 80 miles by satellite

tag mail bar tailed godwit flying from alaska to new zealand that flight was recorded in 2020 as part of the same decade-old research project which also involves china's feudan university new zealand's mass say university and the global flyway network the same bird broke its own record with a 13,000 kilometer 8100 mile flight on its next migration last year but guinness has yet to acknowledge that feat waller has said researchers did not know whether the last bird or the latest bird known by its satellite tag flew as one or part of a flock. There are so few birds that have been tagged, we don't know. It may be that half the birds that do the migration from Alaska come to Tasmania directly rather than through New Zealand. Or it might be 1%.

Or it might be that this is the first it's ever happened. Adult birds depart Alaska earlier than juveniles, so the tagged bird was unlikely to have followed more experienced travelers south. Willer hopes to see the bird once wet weather clears in the remote corner of Tasmania where it will fatten up, having lost

half its body weight on the journey. Oh my god. Can you imagine doing something where you lose half your body weight? the journey. Oh my God. Can you imagine doing something where you lose half your body weight? I wish. I'm looking at a map right now, and it's fat. Apparently this happens frequently, and the bar-tailed godwit is known for this. And I guess they have a southward migration, which is they go from either their breeding range, which is way far north.

We're talking the northern part of Alaska, the northern part of Russia. And then they fly way far south. Literally, they leave Russia and Alaska, fly all the way south to New Zealand, Tasmania, Australia, chill there, Tasmania, Australia, chill there, and then migrate their ass all the way back up past Japan, past China, back up to either Alaska or Russia, and do it all over again. Oh my God. Crazy. Crazy. These birds are flying around like airplanes. There's this one path they have listed

where this bird goes from New Zealand to Japan and then Japan to Alaska. Oh, my God. That's like the amount of... That's so crazy to me. That is crazy. They got giant beaks. Probably like snap up, like get fish out of the water maybe like

oh yeah it does look like a spear yeah like your fish that's fascinating that's great what a cool bird yeah that guy's living life for himself i love that that guy's like hey i don't need to stay here i'm gonna go on this bird and i we relate to each other he's like i need to get the hell out of here. I'm going. I'm going away for a little bit. Where are you going? I'm going to New Zealand.

I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah, and then you spear a few fish. Yeah. I use my tongue to grab a few fish. Yeah. And then I go home. Yeah. Yeah.
