It's a weird thing to say, but I'm gonna keep saying it. Alright, let's jump into this podcast. Hello everybody, it's time for Ghost on Trend Dog. Ghost on Trend Dog in the morning.

In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Cacks and and Granddad in the Morning. Exciting episode. Jinx. So here's the excitement. Get ready. Okay. Get pumped. I'm pumped.

Woo. That was a... I shouldn't have gotten pumped up for that. It was a letdown. I'm going to let you know. I'm feeling it. I'll tell you what I am feeling. The pressure drop.

My sinuses are roasted. What do you mean? Is it because it's getting cold? Well, it went from 75 one day to 38 the next day. Wait. Whoa. Why? Wow.

I don't know. Weather. Good job. Good job, scientist. I don't know. oh wait whoa why wow oh weather good job good job scientist yeah and all those cold fronts and warm fronts and everything's like oh it's super warm in early november but they're like get ready it's gonna get super cold in the second half of november so i'm like all right so one day i was like shorts and t-shirt the next day it's like boom it's like winter and i'm like oh here we go but apparently it's colder than normal i guess so yeah you know a little give a little take but every time pressure stuff like that happens it always like i don't get sick but i just feel like blah you know what i

mean i i absolutely know what you mean yeah because it's like the pressure changes mess with your your joints and your sinuses and everything so like i like, I'm convinced that made my plantar fasciitis stuff worse, which is better now, which is good. I forgot that was a thing we talked about last week. It's actually better now. So that's good. And then my sinuses, like, as soon as that hit, as soon as the temperature dropped, I started getting, like, sinus pain. And then, like, in my other thing, I was just like, ugh. And it just kind of comes and goes, or it's's like you'll feel it a bit like and then it gets better and then it's like and then you know it's it's annoying i also had it where like whenever

it happened i just like my i don't know my head just feels like almost like allergies in a way but i was about to say it sounds like allergies yeah so it could also be allergies but it it always happens with the pressure changes i've seen people uh mention it online there's it's like that people uh or that people it's like the people that are like i know a storm's coming because the barometer pressure is dropping my knees feel it yes yeah yeah we um this past This past week It started raining For the first time In a long You know it's LA

And every time it hits November, December-ish And then usually In February as well We get I don't know About three or four days Of solid rain

Just straight in a row And this week we had I knew it was raining Because I almost freaked out I was laying in bed Might have been 3 a.m. And I shot awake. Because I heard a noise that sounded like something attacking my walls.

And I didn't know what it was. I wish I could do it on my microphone. But like that kind of? Yeah. This terrible sound. And I realized that it was rain on the window. And I hadn't heard rain in so long that I just forgot, dude. Like, not ASMR rain on a phone where it's kind of there but also a little bit fake.

I mean, like, surround sound coming down torrential rain. I couldn't believe it I laughed so hard I was like I can't believe I forgot what hard rain sounded Like that's crazy I love rain I do too and It rained for about a day and a half straight And hilariously I almost

Died about three times driving into work and it Takes me five minutes to get to work that's how Messed up it was I was Just driving down the road and I almost saw or was involved in three crashes. That's a classic LA. Classic LA. Normally, you only got one crash along the way, but here, that's three if it's raining.

Right, right. It was so bizarre, but yeah, everyone tried to plan their day. I got into the office, and everyone's like, can I leave a little bit early? Because driving up here, everyone tried to plan their day. I got into the office and everyone's like, can I leave a little bit early? Driving up here, I had to drive early because I wanted to avoid the traffic because of all the rain and people are crazy out there. I was like, yeah, it's crazy that we now

it rains once and everyone's like, can I change my entire life because it's raining? I'm like, yeah, go ahead. It's fine. Let's do that. Man, I would not want to live where it doesn't rain. I love rain too much. I don't know what it is about LA. I can't tell you what it is about LA that makes people turn insane.

But I imagine it's the same thing as snow in a lot of places. You know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, if you're not used to driving in it, you're going to be like, whoa. I just don't know why people don't go slower. I watch people in Porsches going 95 in rain, and I'm like, well, no wonder you're about to die. Yeah.

Nuts. Those people, they're going to do what they do no matter what. That's just what it is. I've watched people do that in snow. I remember when I lived in Buffalo, I would see dudes in like Insanely non-snow friendly cars Like those

Especially the When I was in college There were all those dudes from New York Who had the really low Hondas That had all the anime stickers and shit on the back When it snowed Those dudes would go So damn fast.

They would just like spin. I think they were like, dude, I can finally drift. I don't know what they were thinking, but it was wild. Yo, it's only like five inches. Easy. Fucking roll out, boys. They just roll out in the anime Hondas. I'll never forget

One time There was one time when I was coming back from a party Or something as I got in the car Snow started falling by the time I Got back to campus I would say There's about three or four maybe Five inches already on the ground

It was like a 15 minute Drive to it was It was crazy. And I was fine there, which is why if I can, I'm like, if I can drive through that, and I'm not a great driver, if I can drive through that, surely everyone else can figure out a way to drive through rain.

But no, apparently that's not a thing we do here in LA. If it rains, you take like a hard left-hand turn through traffic for no reason apparently yeah I don't I don't get the rain stuff cuz like I'm after driving in the rain so many times here like it's just nothing like if you're if I'm gonna go drive somewhere it's like oh it's raining it's like who cares you know it's nothing here yeah I don't understand, but it's a big deal here, I guess.

Everyone, that and earthquakes. Although, again, as a reminder to everyone in the rest of the world, if you just look at the history of the last year, we had more earthquakes than we did rain. That's LA. Just a reminder. Well, I mean, I don't think I'd want to drive in an earthquake, but I don't think I'd just want to be in an earthquake in general but I don't think I just wouldn't want to be in an earthquake in general.

I don't think you would notice if you were driving in an earthquake. Well, it probably depends on how big the earthquake is. I don't think you would notice. Unless it's one of those movie-level earthquakes where the highway always cracks open and people fall inside. But other than that, it's just, you know, stuff shakes. And if you're in a car, you're moving. It's kind of like when people talk about...

You're not shaking. No. Most of the time, you're shaking because the road's bumpy and crappy to begin with. That's true. There's a lot of the highways

in LA. I don't know if it's because of the dirt and oil and crap builds up and then when it rains, it kind of gets all mucky. But a lot of the highway stuff in LA has, I don't even know how to describe it. When you drive over, it's like, all over the highway system.

And that shakes. There's times where I'm driving my car shaking because of that more than anything else. Are you talking about, like, the things they put at the airport to wake you up? I don't know why they put them where it's like... In a way, I'm sure it has a real term. And I'm sure there's a real purpose behind it. But it is... It just makes noise.

Not like the noise when you go off the side of the road. Like you're talking about those wake-up strip things. They're like... It shakes the car so you pop awake so you don't drive off the road. It's different than that. Road. The way they do it here in LA it isn't as deep as that so it doesn't shake your car violently

but it's like there's a bump. Every quarter mile there's like a bump you hit. All on the 405. I don't know what that's about. If anyone lives in LA and they know what that's about, let me know. It seems to me like it has to do with something with maybe the road construction for rain purposes maybe.

I have no clue. Okay, I think I found they're called rumble strips. Okay. Took me a bit of Googling. But the rumble strip I think is the thing where it's supposed to shake your car and wake you up, right? Yeah, it makes it go like... This one says LA adds rumble strip to street in hopes of eliminating street racing.

Oh, I figured it out. Okay. Why are LA's highways so bumpy? This is exactly the noise. It's less rumble strip. It's more of a thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk. That's exactly what it is. Um, apparently, the constant thunk, thunk noise you hear while driving on some freeways in L.A.

is because freeway surfaces are concrete in L.A. The concrete is in sections with separators every few feet. This helps stop the concrete from cracking due to shifting. Oh, interesting. Mmm, so that, okay. Alright, interesting. I was, now I know. Yeah, it's, it feels like a rumble strip because you're driving, you know,

65, 70 miles an hour. Yeah. But, if you're going slow, it'd be a thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk. Yeah, I see. Well, you learned something today. I did learn something. I've been stressing about that, and now I know. Could have Googled this years ago.

Did not. Just complained. Now it has great podcast material. Yep, great podcast material. Concrete-level podcast material. How's your working? How's your life this week? Any crazy, wacky, crazy, wacky?

Crazy, wacky? No, dude. Every time I do 5-Minute Gaming News, people message me like, Dude, you look like you need sleep. Are you okay? Are you fine? You try to edit 15 hours of God of War footage. I'm losing my damn mind over here. Editing is the most... Unless you're doing something that's a passion project and you're enjoying every minute, 99% of editing is the most boring, you're doing something that's a passion project and you're enjoying every minute, 99% of editing is the most boring,

tedious, garbage work ever. And all I'm doing is going through 15 hours of footage and making sure that the things Gerard and I say in the background, you don't hear game audio. Because we're playing it on a screen, right? So

it isn't like we have headsets on, we're doing it like they do in the broadcast booth. No, we're just sitting there playing with a microphone. And so in the background sometimes if stuff gets really crazy, you can hear the actors on the screen or whatever talking. And so I have to go through because I'm one of those people who actually cares about the final product. And so I'm going through and I'm making an effort to make it sound good. I'm doing all this stuff.

And it's just supreme tedium to the nth degree. And I know everyone's like, Jesse, don't you have editors? I do. And they're doing all the other things we do. If you want to, you know, stuff on Patreon, I'm all playing Mayhem. They're doing all that other stuff. And I'm sitting here just like, I could be making a video I want to make Instead The funniest part is Gerard and I played

God of War for several days And I would say we did About One solid seven hour day And then a few like three hour days And he was like Alright so can I come over tomorrow I was like dude I need to start putting this together

We can't just keep playing. I will have no time to put this up on the internet. And I know probably in his mind he thinks that I just take the audio timeline and mix it with the video timeline and then like ship it. But I'm over here just like, okay, I remember that in day two, hour three, we did a puzzle. And I wrote down a note that we spent 45 minutes on that puzzle. So I'm going to go back.

And for the viewer, I'm going to go in and edit that puzzle out or down so that it's a better watching. I'm that guy. And it infuriates me that I know that in the end, really, it doesn't matter all that much. That's true. In fact, people are going to be like, Jesse, I like watching all that stuff and behind the scenes. I don't like that you're cutting it out. Right. Or if I left it in, people would be like, oh, what a waste of time.

And no matter what, it's a lose-lose. But I'm just like, okay, I just want to make it something that people can watch and it flows well and isn't just like a lot of downtime. So I try my hardest. I feel like I've learned over 12 years what makes a good video. And I'm trying so hard to do this. But I also know that at the end of the day, it doesn't really – it like doesn't matter really. And it's just I'm in my own head trying to make something good for me that I can be proud of. And that's the problem is I'm my own harshest critic.

What did I just say? Harshest critic? Harshest critic. That's what I am. I'm my own harshest critic. And I just want it to be good for me so I can be like, well, that's good. Like I'll upload a video. The other day I uploaded a God of War.

And in the video, it was a little, when it got to to YouTube it was like a little grainy in one part And I was like is that YouTube Or did I do that I went back rewatched that part in the original video I was just like Did I do something wrong That's where I'm at mentally And normally that's not a problem for me

Because I do one major video every so often Now I'm doing it every day again It reminds me of like 2017 I'm back in it and I honest to God hate it. I hate every minute of it. When people are like, Jesse, I'm so happy to see you doing a Let's Play again. This is amazing. This is my favorite thing in the world. I need

all of you to know. Thank you. I'm honored. This is going to be the last Let's Play I do. I've convinced... I'll do stuff on stream and throw it up on Cox Clips that's fine that takes no work At all but my god Doing this again reminding myself

What it used to be like back in the day of what like Every video was F that business F it I hate it so much Never doing it again I'm over it I'm so broken by it It's just built better for doing that Absolutely It's so much better I'm over it. I'm so broken by it. I mean, the live stream is just built better for doing that.

Absolutely. Absolutely. It's so much better. The YouTube, a great example, if people are curious about timing, it's like this. I will take this hour and a half because I'm trying to do big chunks because it's a huge game. And I know that if we did small chunks, it would take us forever. And I'd be uploading this crap on my channel, and I just don't want to do that forever. And so I'm doing like an hour and a half chunk every time. And so I sit down. So that means I have to edit an hour and a half, which usually that hour and a half translates to about

two and a half hours of editing. So now I'm editing this hour and a half chunk at two and a half hours. Click render. Now I'm rendering for another 35, 45 minutes, which thank God I have a good computer. I can do it that fast. right? Then I take that, upload it to YouTube. Taking an hour and a half of high rendered footage at like, I don't know, 30 megabytes a second, something crazy like that, upload it to YouTube. YouTube is going to do all of its stuff.

The YouTube upload and processing time is maybe another two hours. Then I have to wait for this stupid thing to do checks. YouTube checking system is the most garbage thing that ever existed Hate it It can range from either 5 minutes or 5 hours There's like no rhyme or reason to it

And so I have to wait for that And then when that's done I click live And I pray anyone wants to watch it That's it It is soul sucking and if you're like i uh just so you know a five minute gaming news is fine that's what you're gonna get from now on i might do five minute reviews i might start doing that but i'm done long form youtube content i'm done with it i got no patience i'm

over it i'm over it because i'll put my stream bod things i like on my kren clips channel and sometimes like the other day i played god of war for like an hour and a half and then i was like i'll throw it up on the old kren clips and that shit took like three hours to upload and process and then i was like all right and then the next day i checked still processing and i was like, all right. And then the next day I checked, still processing. And I was like, oh, this shit's bugged. So I uploaded it again and it was bugged. It did it properly. That happens to me so often that if it's processing for more than about 20 minutes, I just re-upload the video.

I just delete it and re-upload it. I don't take chances. Yeah, it bugs out all the time. Which, you know, small indie company. I expect it. Yeah, the worst part is, it's like, oh, well, I guess I'll just spend another hour and a half uploading a thing. Come on. It's so frustrating to deal with YouTube.

And it's mind-blowing they don't. Again, I've had this conversation with them, and they're not going to listen to me because I'm not, you know, important at all to them. But every time I have a meeting with anyone at YouTube, they they're always like so what kind of features are you looking for like stop trying to be a streaming platform and make your video platform good yeah what i mean with twitch i'm like stop trying to be a video platform and make the streaming good be what you are no i can, I can't do that. And no one listens to me because some executive somewhere was like, the money's in this thing. We got to go.

Just like how YouTube is now apparently TikTok. You know? Yeah, yep. Like, oh, okay, cool. However, it has been great because to make YouTube shorts, I just go back to my old WoW videos and you can like clip parts of them,

make them into shorts. It's great for content production but it is literally a scam i want to let you know last month we put out 31 short a day and those did really really well and uh total earning from making those 72 dollars that's not even a joke the The YouTube messaged me like, you've qualified for a YouTube Shorts fund payment. I was like, yeah! And I clicked it.

That's 30 days of content for $70. That is the amount of time and energy to make. It's insane to me. The whole thing is insane. I'm so broken. YouTube Shorts are literally just thing is insane. I'm so broken. YouTube shorts are literally just there for publicity.

I don't even monetize them. Well, you can't. You can't monetize them. Yeah, you can. You can now. If you told me, watch my video, and a one-minute ad came on before your 15 seconds short, I would be like, F this. That's what I'm saying. I wouldn't do it just for that reason.

Nobody's going to watch that. No way. I'm just trying to drive traffic to my old videos and have people be like, oh yeah, Crenlore exists. I will say, it is a good traffic driver. Cox Clips, I do nothing but upload stuff I've already made on Twitch, and it's almost at 100,000 subscribers. And I've done nothing. I don't even go there. I manage nothing on that channel. I have a great team of people that

upload and do all the work for me. I do nothing and it's succeeding, which makes me sad because I'm not involved at all and they're doing far better than I've ever done. I feel like this is the, every like two or three months, we have a, how are you doing, Jesse? And you're like, are falling

apart by doing youtube the problem is is i get in a good place and i'm like all right i'm finally in a good place let's get back to doing like let's get into the work again and i get back into the work i'm like this sucks i know why i stopped doing this every time i convince myself that somehow i can make things better or somehow i can try a new thing with this platform that I've been on for 12 years thinking somehow it'll be different this time. And it never is. It's never different.

Well, you're that person who keeps trying to fix somebody. You're not going to fix them. That's absolutely true. Yeah, the person needs to be fixed is me. I need to learn to say no. That's what I need to do. Oh, my God. How's your calendar looking?

It would be fine if I didn't have to spend every waking moment doing god of war like a great example we're not done i have to go back i have to find time to play with gerard still while trying to do all this other stuff that i want to do like i want to do this video i've had in my mind for six months and i was like you know what november's the perfect time to get it done i got nothing on on my schedule. And now it's God of War every day, all day. I'm losing my mind. I was like, I just wanted to make this video. And I'm looking at my schedule right now.

Like, I have a fun stream I'm going to do on the 17th. And I got, like, a D&D thing that's Final Fantasy XIV related on the 19th. And then after that, nothing through the rest of the year. It's just chill. And I'm just like, it's not chill. It's just chill. And I'm just like it's not chill. It's all a lie. I gotta fit God of War in there. I love this game.

I also want to roll into a ball and just slowly turn to dust. See my thing is I mentioned this on the Cren Minute. I know you did. I really don't care about these types of games there's so many of these types of games and like i get that they're good games

they have people love these games but i just get so bored when it's like all right i'm ready to play a video game and then it's like i'm watching a movie for 40 minutes and i'm like am i gonna like play a game or am i gonna like watch a movie here like what are we doing and it's like oh don't worry you're playing a game you hit L1 R1 L1 R1 Y for a span of 20 seconds in the next 20 minutes it's like oh and then I can walk

for 20 minutes on the pre-selected path to my next cinematic very good like uh my favorite part is I totally disagree with you I am watching like when Gerard and I play I was actually going to make a review Of God of War but I was like I'll get roasted on the internet For this I can't do this

But I love Like the intro and then the like Story bits and the things that are going on With that and then the minute Gerard's like Alright it's time to go fight stuff I'm like I don't want to see the story more. I'd rather just have a video game movie.

Honestly, I would rather watch that. There's moments, there's a part where we're in, it's a little bit of a spoiler for people watching, but there's like a zone that's kind of elfish in origin, we'll say, and there's a lot of just going around Exploring stuff And I was just like Nothing story wise is happening

That's like my favorite part They're making us do this I know I think we're totally opposite on this I was like The review I would have written is God of War is great except when you play God of War I love it Except the part where it's like The review I would have written is, God of War is great except when you play God of War. I love it, except the part where it's like, all right, fight this enemy that's super hard and takes five minutes to kill.

For me, I'm like, nah, I don't want to do that. I hate that part. That's why I love Breath of the Wild. They're just like, all right, and you're free. And I'm like, dude, yes. Yeah, I can do do everything i need someone to tell me what i need someone to be like this is why you're doing this this is why this is happening look okay i get it that guy's the bad guy yeah you need you need the structure you need the

handhold like come on here we go it's the story adventure i'm just like dude let me let me free i want to go find some like weird crabs and shit on the water and then like a secret cave or something. They're just like, no, you got to go to the story. I'm like, I can literally just be building Warhammer while watching someone play this game. So that's what I'm going to do. There are all these people I see on my Twitter timeline

that are like, oh my God. Is there a way to turn off the fact that in God of War Atreus keeps telling you what to do and how to solve puzzles and I'm over here like that was the best god damn part. That was the best part. It was amazing to see that happen.

I'd be stuck on a puzzle for like two minutes and then he'd just tell me what to do and I'd be like oh thank god and then move on and everyone's like oh I want to figure it out for myself that's part of the fun like that's not fun that sucks that's not fun well that's that's why there's there's different different games for different people yeah it definitely teaches me a good lesson about game dev, where I'm like, what I think is fun is not necessarily what is actually fun. Yeah, like, I even enjoyed, like, Elden Ring

because of how open world and everything it was. Like, I know I did my whole, like, I'm not going to fight anything type of thing, but, like, once I beat it doing that, I was like, I actually would probably go back and fight so like i enjoyed it that much because it's like you just run around you explore you find all little hidden things and there's no you know there's there's the main story you're following but there's no like main main story it's not structured in any way and i love that yeah i mean that's that's fun when that's the game like the story comes from you discovering things right like that's why

you know for example i enjoyed old warcraft like back in the day because there was no no matter what anyone tells you there was no story there was no structure to that at all you just were like i'm playing inside the world from the rts game and it was fun and then he ran around and then eventually they added like the dragon was actually a lady like that kind of stuff and then you're like oh okay but in the beginning it was none of that and I made it fun it was weird and silly and that that I I dig that I dig zero structure but if you're gonna put structure in and then in between the structure and the story you have like two hours of utter nonsense of just go to this area

kill a hundred guys nah that takes me out immediately i'm like i hate this well you know my other thing i don't like about this type of game is just uh well not that i don't like it's not against the game in particular but like it's terrible for content creation because literally i go to my twitch page like everybody's streaming it but like it's so structured and like especially at the start that like if i watch somebody i'm like oh i watch someone else do this like there's no there's no innovation there's no like creativity there and like spontaneity it's just someone else is watching the movie so it's like i i don't want to watch this streamer play and then like nobody's watching then people like ah nobody wants to watch

the new god of war it's like no i don't want to watch the same thing i just saw like 10 other people play through yeah and a lot of it's about reaction to um when you beat it for example sometimes you want to go back and see how people reacted to certain moments. And I get that, but also, there is sort of a... It's kind of like with Airbnb right now. You see all these Airbnb people complaining and messaging and freaking out about how no one's renting their

Airbnb. It's because they oversaturated the market, and rather than do normal capitalist stuff where they lowered the prices, they just kept the prices where they were, and no one's going to go. It is now cheaper to go to a hotel than get an Airbnb. Yeah. You're paying hundreds of dollars in cleaning fees.

They expect you to clean up after yourself and take care of their home. That's so much pressure on a vacation. Why would you do that? And so it's just easier to get a hotel. And I think the problem with Twitch is it's just over – there's so many people streaming. So many people doing stuff that I think in order to be seen – truthfully, I don't know how you do that. And this past week I saw people on Twitter being like, this is tough. I don't know what I'm doing.

I keep trying to chase numbers and it's like you shouldn't do that. You should try to just do what makes you happy if you're going to be a streamer. But I think everyone sees streaming as a job rather than a hobby that can develop into a source of income. And that's the problem.

I'd say the problem is once you've created it into a job, then you have to have it as a job because then you can't do what makes you happy because then you're like, well now rent's due and I don't have money. So then what do you do? Then you're stuck in the situation. That's the same thing that we've talked about before where it's like

streaming is street performance on a computer and some days you ain't going to get money performing on the street. That's just the way it is. And I think unfortunately is a lot of people have gotten in their head that they are going to be, this is like a stable source of income and it's simply not.

Well, yeah, that's why I always bring it up. TB, the biscuit saying you need at least five sources of income right he would always say that and he's right because if one goes away you need the other ones to

fall back on so you know and I think a lot of people get into ones like not even just twitch but like so many different platforms like I'm just gonna be a youtuber I'm gonna be a streamer it's like no you have to be in everything especially in this day and age where everything's so oversaturated like you literally have to do all the things like that's just it's what you have to do that's i got obsessed this week where i tweeted about this

i was i watched man who was it it was some some vlogger who does like uh political commentary stuff it was the election week so i was watching this political some vlogger Who does like political commentary stuff It was the election week so I was watching this political commentary vlogger And she was talking about how She was going to do TikToks And made like one or two Because people were asking her Do you have a TikTok is this really you

And she was like yes that's absolutely me I made one or two but I realized I need to focus all my content on YouTube I need to focus here And as I, as she said that, I like went back through all of her videos and I saw that her

timeline of videos, she started like around the pandemic, right? So all of her videos, she was doing a video a day. And I think her original content was like, wear a mask, dummies. I'm pretty sure that's what it was. But she was doing a video a day.

And then it went from one video a day to three to four a week to two a week to one every six or so days to now whenever she has something to say. Yet her thing was, I'm trying to focus on YouTube. And I was like, hmm, okay. So that sparked me on, I must have looked at 50 or so YouTube creators. And I noticed a huge trend of all these people a year or two or three ago dumping a video a day, going hard, doing pretty good numbers, and then over time, they started to grow,

which I think is the thing that I'm sure you and I both agree happens. You grow, and then you feel like you can like, oh, well, my numbers are better, so I don't need to put out a video. Like that kind of thing. And so I watched the numbers grow, and they went, and it's like clockwork. Every single one that I saw, the trend was there. It was we did a video a day, and now we're down to three or four a week,

and now we're down to two, and now we're down to one, and now it's down to however, whenever I can get it out. And I am so curious if it is these people started during COVID, and they had the free time because they weren't going anywhere to make videos a day. Or if they burnt themselves out doing a video every single day, which is absolutely a thing that happens. Oh, yeah. And I clearly don't have the time. I'm sitting here editing God of War until I die.

But that's a study. Just someone out there who wants to look into it It's super interesting Because Just like you saying Oh I need to devote all my time to this Right Or I need to focus

This is my job now But at the same time If you're not in different places Then when you burn out in one You can't be creatively free in another one Right And I'm fascinated by it I'm fascinated by all these people

Who are like I am a content creator This is my job Be it YouTube or Twitch creatively free in another one. Right. And I'm fascinated by it. I'm fascinated by all these people who were like, I am a content creator. This is my job. Be it YouTube or Twitch or OnlyFans, whatever. All these people jumped on during COVID because it was like the thing you could do from your home and it made sense. There was passion behind it

and a drive to keep you busy while the world's like crumbling around you. And now things have changed and I'm curious how much that affects the outcome and what that is done to the different creators it's super interesting to me I'm fascinated by that kind of stuff it's also just most people burn out after a year or two of just whatever they're doing especially they're doing it all the time and it just so happens a lot of people started around then they had nothing to do I think the best way to go about it is obviously like

diversify what you're doing and you know maybe have one of those platforms where you get more creative than the others because i mean then even even on twitch if something you could be like you know what for a half the streams i do i'm going to play something that mainly gets views and i'm like you know what just do it for the views and the other half be like i'm gonna have fun like you can you know kind of try to focus a bit more the problem is i think people focus entirely on numbers and when you see like oh uh i did this stream for y'all and i'm gonna do a little bit for me and when the numbers for you disappear then suddenly you get like hard on yourself yeah it's it's it's tough it's a tough industry and every time again every time i meet

anyone and they're like i want to be a streamer when i grow up i'm like please go into science or become like do something to help society please i beg you become a doctor do anything but this this is it's soul crushing sometimes i'm over here not saying god of war great game i'm not i don't even care anymore about God of War. I'm like, I have to edit so many hours of this stupid game. Like, that's not fun. That's not fun. You heard it here first.

Jesse Cox hates YouTube. He hates Twitch. He hates God of War. And he hates you. I love YouTube. I love content creating. I don't. There's a reason why I left the grind.

That's why I don't do that. Yeah, it's only Let's Play. I got my WoW leveling Let's Play. It's like two episodes a year. Everyone's like, why aren't you leveling fast? I'm like, then they see me stream WoW. They're like, wow, you got the max level? I'm like, yeah, because I'm streaming it.

I don't have to record it. And that's the difference. Yeah, that's the supreme difference. Streaming is a better Let's Play venue than YouTube. And it always will be. Unless you're like, I saw some dude I don't know who it was, put a 17 hour Let's Play

up of God of War. Day one, 17 hours. And I was like, well, he wins. Well, that's good for your week how are you please tell me you did anything better than what i had i'm a bitter old man as you can tell yes well here's what i did went to the gym um almost every day uh so yeah in fact all right i think i skipped one day i didn't go one day but every other day i went uh that was pretty good back in the gym grind felt good after that uh have you still been doing your gyms i went to the gym yesterday and uh because i didn't go the week

before because i was in soulvang with my parents um he was like today i'm gonna i'm gonna break you and i was like do it that's how much i hate myself this week i was like bring it i don't even care he tried to get my big ass to plank bro that's where we were at that's where i was and i walked away he's like so like you feel that i was like i feel nothing anymore, you can't do anything to me. He's like, we'll see about next week. And I was like, do it. I'll still be editing this damn video. So here you go. You just gotta get back in that gym more.

You gotta, you know, get your editing frustrations out. I honestly do. The problem is, is when you spend all day trying to, if I was at home, this is the difference. This is what I've learned. If I was at home when stuff was rendering or uploading, I could just like work out. Because I'm at the office, it's like, okay, rendering, uploading, and I guess I will work on more rendering. It's like, no. Or you can plank.

I cannot plank. I learned that. I learned that I cannot. I think I can do about like six seconds of a blank i cannot blank um so i'm back in the gym loving it uh let's see and then uh let's see me and toaster woman got breakfast that was good went to ikea i bought a painting well like an ikea painting so it's whoa of what birch trees yeah you do not make your home look like a dentist office please it's not it's a good it's a good thing you got do you have a photo of the birch tree can i see this

yeah hold on this reminds me my parents used to have a guest bedroom In their old house And in that guest bedroom were like The creepiest tree paintings imaginable Those paintings hid ghosts I'm sure Looking through all their Ikea painting stuff Well this is very important so I'll allow it Alright here we go I can't wait to see this Get out of town.

All right. First off, beautiful, but also 100% one of those things where if you stare at it long enough, you see like the ghost in the background. It is a bunch of, I think, birch trees with maybe a snowy scene or a lake in the background. I can't really tell, but I'm telling you, this is one of those things where you stare at it long enough A dude is just like Slenderman Is just in the shot Terrifying

Terrifying photo Where did you put this? On the wall Which wall? The bigger wall By the TV Okay I don't know why it took so long to get there. When I said, where did you put this?

Of course I knew a wall. That's what I was going to say. This guy doesn't know where you hang a painting. The whole thing, you've got to build it. The annoying part is actually building it. You've got to bend it around a frame and then you push these plastic things into a thing. That was a workout in itself. I didn't even have to go to the gym that day, but I did.

You can't. They made you build a painting? Well, it's Ikea. You build everything. I hate that. Oh, never mind. This thing is huge. That's what I'm saying. It's a pretty big painting. There's only like one wall

we can hang it on. I thought this was... This is 78 by 55 bro this is a wall size painting yeah we used to have one and then it kept falling off and so we got rid of it and then we tried like some other like smaller things and then i was like i kind of want one of those big painting things again even though it's like like it it's a it's a honker but yeah there's there's literally only one wall we can put it on so it's like well it's where it goes never mind i stand corrected this is it's massive and awesome i love this although this could be a portal to hell it's big enough that slenderman could just

walk through the painting i haven haven't died yet. Yet. Yet. So I went back to the main Ikea page, and there is literally two set of paintings called Pajirti Rid, and it's like spooky ghost clouds on the ground. Terrifying. Terrifying. We used to have the Granby. You see the Granby there?

It's like a variety. I do see the Granby. I love the Granby. The problem with the Granby is they kept falling off. It's Paris, right? There would always be three Granby's missing. It's just pictures of Paris? Is that what it is?

No, it's like blue sky, trees pictures of paris is that what it is no it's uh like blue sky trees fog scroll down one more there's another gromby dude another gromby i guess it's the two grombies no it's the the blue sky forested gromby not that other gromby not the other gromby no uh yeah don't do that unless you're gonna like but then you're gonna have like what like through like at least like 10 nails in the wall so you're going to, like, but then you're going to have, like, what? Like, at least, like, 10 nails in the wall. So you're going to have to use wall, like, and then they keep falling off. So, like, with this, it's just, you know, two nails. You can patch it up later and then yeehaw.

Cool. Yeah. I dig that. Yeah, I did that. That was a good day. Let's see. And then I didn't do anything else crazy this week. I stream I did that. That was a good day. Let's see, and then did I do anything else crazy

this week? I streamed WoW. We did some Fated Raids. That was fun. You said, did I do anything else crazy this week? Pause. I streamed WoW. Yeah. Listen, that's all I'm saying. It's crazy stuff.'s good doing things crazy

wow you remember i used to play all the kaizo iron man yes so i still do um i'm now at run a thousand and so me and synvictive actually turned it into a game what does that mean so what we do is we each stream and we call it lab races because you're stuck in the lab right and so we make it if you get out of the lab that's a point if you beat your rival that's five points and every gym leader and rival after that is five more points so it's incentive to actually get out of the lab and not die to go back to the lab and get points so uh we turn into this race be like all right you got one hour two hours like who gets the most points and so it's it's become pretty fun where we're both

just like come on get out of the lab and then we like try to get to the rival but sometimes if you take too long to get to the rival and you die you got zero points the other person's like building up points from getting out of the lab and dying over like it's it's great so we do that now uh and we're trying to like mix mix it up a little bit like if you're running to an ice pokemon because it's getting cold outside you have to catch it no matter what like that type of thing so that's been fun yeah that sounds fun yeah it's been a fun like uh people like watching it we make it so if you want to give like a if you sub or gift a sub you get to pick which ball fails essentially. So that's fun.

So you know. That's been great. Overall we still haven't beaten that game. But I thought didn't you did you not beat it? Am I crazy? I got to Lance of the Elite 4. I've gotten the Elite 4 three times.

I've died each one. Damn dude. I think only octo beat it and uh rx beat it all right he took dude he took like 3 000 attempts or something like 4 000 that's so it's so many i would have given up after like six oh you definitely this is like my type of game like i, I love the RNG. Give me RNG every day. I love it. Pull the Pokemon slot machine lever.

And then the thing was like when Octo beat it, he's like, yeah, you know, I was the first person to beat everything. I could see it in his eyes like he missed it. You know what I mean? You know how like you finish that journey and then you start something else. But there's still that part of you that's like, what if I go back? I understand. I get it. Yeah.

I think he wanted to go back. He did the Pokemon Gold for a bit, but I think now he's moved on. But me, I'm still going. I love it. And then what else? My typical Blood Bowl. Pointless top 10 skeletons.

That's been doing great. Took off, dude. Took off. I keep seeing people talk about it. Yeah. 60,000 people loving those skeletons. We were doing our Faded Raids yesterday, and Kryken was like,

Krendor, I saw your skeleton video. It got recommended to me, and I was like, yeah. We're hitting those algorithms. Let's go. Oh, yeah. It was great. I love my pointless top ten.

My favorite part, I said it before, is that even if you don't play WoW, you can be like, oh, look at some skeletons from Warcraft. You know? I do. I don't play WoW currently, and I watched it. So, like, yeah. There you go. But here's the thing. I do I don't play WoW currently and I watched it so like yeah there you go but here's the thing your pointless top 10s

clearly work of passion I can tell because you leave in the bits where you're like I'm gonna google this like that's just my style it's the I care but I don't care you know what I mean it's a good style

it was like back when I'd make machinima stuff, and I'd make a video, and I'd be like, dude, this is a fun video, but I don't want to film this part. And I'd be like, I'm just going to Microsoft paint it, slap it on. And then that just became a thing. It's a vibe. But that's what I did. So I'm like, I don't want to film this. Right?

So whatever. I think creating content that you enjoy is the key Going back to what I was saying earlier You just gotta like focus on what you love And people will see That you love it and they'll enjoy it with you Rather than like I do this Because I feel like I have to

Yeah but I think a lot of people The hardest part is finding what that is as well Well that just comes down To knowing yourself, man. I will say. Some people, they don't even know themselves. What? I'll say again.

We talked about this before we streamed or streamed before we did this podcast. But don't try to find yourself. Find your Crendor. You may never find who you are, but you can find your Crendor. You can get in there and find out The Crendor inside of you There's a Crendor in all of us Find that Crendor and let that beast out

And it's looking like there is traffic down there, especially with Thanksgiving coming up only a week and a half away.

Are you kidding me? Playoff. Week and a half away. Are you kidding me? Playoff. So make sure you get your turkeys and watch where you're driving. Magnum. Thanks, Crandor.

Now let's go over to Crandor at the weather desk. How's that weather? Weather. We got a weather suggestion for Aberystwyth. What? Aberystwyth. Abberistwith pronounced. What? Abberistwith, though the last syllable rhymes with Smith rather than with. Abberismith.

Wales. How do I spell that? Oh, it's Wales. Never mind. I have no idea. I couldn't even tell you how to spell that if it's Wales. Probably has a W in there somewhere. Here you go.

It actually does. Shut actually done it really does they said I've recently started my PhD there and did my undergraduate degree there a few years ago local sites include the castle funicular railway the veil of ride all heritage railway to the Devil's Bridge and red kite sanctuary where you can see dozens of red kites to send down at feeding time. Lots of nice restaurants including Paprika, a Hungarian restaurant where you can get a chimney cake, a Hungarian

dessert in which they wrap cake batter around a metal tube then spit. I'm already there. I'm already going. I'm already looking at it. I'm going right now. Includes Mid Delight, the Royal Pier Restaurant, and Antalia. As for the weather there it is 58 degrees fahrenheit uh rain possible around 4 45 a.m going into the night this will probably be like an hour after this is uploaded uh we have high of 59 humidity

80 percent pressure 29.76 inches visibility 10 miles 7 36 a.m sunrise 4 24 p.m sunset winds at 8 miles an hour dew point 52 uv index zero of 10 in a moon phase of a waning gibbous. Looking at the 10 day. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Monday, light rain early, remaining cloudy with showers in the afternoon. High of 59, winds south at 5 to 10 miles an hour. Chance of rain 90%. Partly cloudy skies in the evening will give way to cloudy skies. Rain overnight, low 47.

Chance of rain 100 percentiles. 15 to 25 miles per hour on the old winds going southeast and near a half uh or no near a quarter of an inch of rain is possible and every day this week is 50 to 54 degrees with rain honestly that sounds amazing that's like my favorite weather i just want to say, look at this paprika restaurant. I don't know if this person works there or they're just looking for shameless advertising, but these

chimney cakes are fascinating. It looks like a giant unfilled cannoli. Oh yeah, it does. Covered with cinnamon and sugar on the outside. Although you can can get them filled with stuff There's a small chimney cake Filled with special cream

Don't know what that special cream is And it comes in There's chimney cake I'm fascinated by this dude So there's chimney cake, cinnamon, vanilla, coconut Those are the three varieties But then there's luxury chimney cakes Oreo,

Lotus. What the hell is Lotus? Raspberry, hazelnut, vanilla, double caramel, matcha tea, M&M's, Nesquik, walnut, and poppy seed. I don't know about that poppy seed. That seems like... Then there's a cheesecake, a chimney

cheese, a traditional chimney cake with the savory. That's a savory version. What the? These things look crazy. But with that said, I was looking at the other stuff at the restaurant and they do like, you know, burpees and like a cool kind of meat veggie plate. But then you scroll down enough and there's like a dish that looks like some sort of brown meat,

some meat with sauce and then one spicy pepper. And I don't know what that is, but I bet that's the most delicious damn thing on the menu. It looks like a stew. It would fill you up. You'd be like, yum, that's delicious. But the outside, it looks like the place you'd go to get a quinceanera dress. Oh, yeah, look at that.

The best part is in the window Is like a reflection of across the street And it's just a KFC A giant KFC is across the street It's very funny Of course I mean great yeah You already sold me I would go there in a heartbeat

I can't pronounce anything Let alone the town name But yeah Yeah this looks great When you put a big ham hock Or whatever the hell this is on the plate let alone the town name, but yeah. Yeah, this looks great. Big fan of giant. When you put a big ham hock or whatever the hell this is on the plate, I'm there for it.

That's the weather. All right. Let's go to sports. Sports. Welcome to the sports desk. We got sports. Here we go. first things first we got nfl football today uh currently the 49ers are beating the chargers 19 to 16 with six minutes to go in the game we'll

And the Kings at 21 points. And the Jets and Stars tied at 19 points.

Top Central Division. Those are your best teams and your sports. All right. Let's go to our fact of the day. Why do you say that like William Shatner? Because I want to switch it up. You like to switch it up. Why can't I switch it up?

I don't know. You just don't normally switch it up. Well, that's because sometimes I want to. But I don't because I'm unlocking my Crendor. I found my Crendor. I'm letting him out. I can appreciate that. Thank you.

All right, I can appreciate that. Thank you. The longest wedding veil was the same length as 63 1⁄2 football fields. Why? I just, I'm not even going to ask how. I imagine anything's possible with enough money, but why? When Maria Paraskeva, Skeva, Skeva? A woman from Cyprus got married in August of 2018, her goal wasn't just to say i do

she was also determined to set a record quote my dream as a child has always been to break the guinness world records title for the longest wedding veil she fulfilled her dream by wearing a lace veil that stretched 22 843 feet and 2.11 inches or as long as 63 and a half football fields but what is there a photo there's gotta be right there is okay i'm already i'm already on it i'm already i already typed in it's too late i i mean i mean yeah there's I've never seen a true like I don't know this woman

And I probably never will but I've never seen A more accurate example of what I would say bridezilla It's just It's not even like the length like it's not just going straight It's like looping back and forth Like it looks like a garden. The photo that you linked to me, and most of the photos are of her,

excited as hell, and the guy she's married to just like, it's another day. He does not care. He kind of looks like Crip. He does have a Cripparian, yes. Yeah. he really he does have a creperian yes yeah that seems like it seems like a lot but bless their bless their souls i guess it's fine my favorite part is i went to an article to learn more about it first comment why good question good question pardon summers good question i mean listen she Pardon Summers. Good question. I mean, listen. She said this has been her dream since she was a child.

I don't believe that. Look at that. I don't believe. This quote is, I dreamed of breaking this record almost my entire life. 30 volunteers helped make this dream come true. I don't believe your entire life. When you were like four, you said this is what you wanted. I don't believe it.

I refuse. Maybe I'm just bitter because it got a war but i don't i don't think so what if she only got married to him because he was just like all right i guess we can do that that was yeah that's he's the only one that was like all right i'll go with this. She dated a lot of other guys with their deal breakers. They wouldn't do this. This guy, he was in. It took three months to create and deliver. Cost 4,000 euros. For just this part. I thought it cost more than that.

I mean, it's just fabric. Really, right? Yeah, but I figured it'd be like expensive fabric. No, I'm pretty sure she got the cheapest she could. Yeah. When I heard that, I thought it'd be like some crazy fabric royalty thing. Like, this costs $100,000 million. When you said 2018, I was shocked.

Because I thought you were about to be like, the year was 1564. And Queen Anne, I was like... like the year was 1564 and queen anne i was like the the peasants of the town were forced to yes i swear to god that's what i thought you're about to say yeah um so there you go all right what is our big news story of the day florida travelers stuffed gun into a raw chicken and tried to bring it on plane of course you had to say florida travels like we didn't already know it's definitely oh yeah i the best part is is it wasn't like they went and got a costco chicken and put the gun in it it was we're bringing a raw chicken. Yeah. Alright, why?

A prospective air traveler was roasted by the Transportation Security Administration on social media on Monday after officers with the federal agency said it caught the person trying to conceal a gun inside a raw chicken stashed in their carry-on luggage. The weapon was flagged at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport in Florida,

where officers found it wrapped in what looked like thin paper packaging and hidden inside a raw chicken. I don't... I'm less concerned about the gun and more concerned about the raw chicken. They probably would be, too. This dude's got a raw chicken in his bag. I don't know what that... Like, that is some serial killer shit.

Like, it is... It makes it... You're just gonna bring a raw chicken in his bag? I don't know what that... Like, that is some serial killer shit. Like, it is a... It makes it that... Oh, you're just gonna bring a raw chicken on a plane? Why? I'm going to be cooking it. I'm not lying. A post shared to the official TSA Instagram account on Monday included photos of the uncooked bird

being examined in an airport security screening area and the gun once it was removed and unwrapped. Its caption leaned heavily into Thanksgiving-themed puns, starting with, there's a personal foul here. No. You know what? TSA, you're a governmental agency. We don't need jokes.

We don't, no. We don't need jokes here. No. The plot chickens. Jesus. I was fine with the fact that they used roasted to begin with. I was like, all right, I'll let it slide. But that sucks ass.

For shame on you, writer. For shame. We barrel our way closer to Thanksgiving. A TSA spokesperson wrote, for us, it's a time to be thankful that our officers are always working around the cluck to keep you safe. This is the TSA said this? Yes. I have to go through those damn metal detectors and pretend like you have authority, and you're going to do this?

Get out of town. It gets worse take for instance this hen you believe it find at fort lauderdale hollywood international airport we hate to beak it to you here but stuffing a firearm into your holiday bird for travel is just a bad baste of time. This idea wasn't even half-baked. It was raw, greasy, and obviously unsupervised. The only

roast happening here is this poor packing choice. Whether you like it or not, there are rules for traveling with guns and ammunition. I stand corrected. this is the best article that's ever been written this is one of those jokes that went from being not funny to like you know when the comedian does a thing so much it's funny at first then it becomes unfunny

then becomes funny again yeah that's where we hit we hit funny again that's true that was amazing i think they're just like all right let's see janet go write an article about the mega post then janet was like all right i how can i get out of work today let's just think of all the puns i came for this you know someone was online googling chicken puns yeah oh yeah 100 percent um cuisine for a full thanksgiving menu including fresh meat and seafood are permitted in carry-on luggage as long as travelers abide by federal packaging guidelines which are available on the TSA website. However, people looking to travel with guns and ammunition are required to pack unloaded weapons and locked hard-sided containers in their checked bags and must declare those items at the airport ticket counter when they arrive.

The officers' discovery in Fort Lauderdale is among many bizarre finds by TSA officers at airports across the U.S. Last year, a chainsaw was flagged in New Orleans and something the agency called a meth burrito was confiscated in Houston. I love meth burrito. That sounds, I would love to see what that, I'm looking it up, going to the internet. Meth burrito. I'd love to see what that... I'm out looking it up. Going to the internet. Meth burrito.

Traveler busted with crystal meth inside breakfast burrito. Checks out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just want to see it. I just want to see what it looks like. Yeah. Apparently, it's very hard to find online. Oh, there it is.

Oh, I see it. Yeah. It really was just a breakfast burrito with meth inside of it so yeah at least this is a little more like like passable like oh they're just bringing their rap burrito but even then it's still weird but that makes i can understand why a drug dealer or someone would think oh i'll I'll bring my burrito on the plane. No one's going to check my plane burrito. You know what I mean? Although,

although, how would you, I guess you'd have to get it through security first, then put it in a burrito and get it on the plane. That might make sense, but you'd still have to bring it. And there's no way you'd be dumb enough to bring a burrito off the street into an airport and try to smuggle that onto the plane

although never mind that's probably what happened probably is what um moral of the story don't put your weapons and drugs in food maybe not take them on a plane at all

nah just don't try to put them in food yeah Take them on a plane at all. Nah, just don't try to put them. Yeah. All right. Well, that's it then. That's it. That is it for us.
