Now let's jump into this podcast. 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. In 4 hour 40 studio. Recorded. Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Cacks and Crandor in the morning! morning. Hey, oh, does it now? Yeah. Oh, Grendel, come back. Do you want to go home?

Um, I guess. Uh, but it's, but we had a week off again. It's been an on off off on

off week, but now we're back in the saddle. That was our first official week off we technically except for when i was sick we didn't take any weeks off yeah that was our first week off in a while thanks to the new year but uh yeah look i was sick before that yeah it happens it happens man yeah and then you had to go to the was it mag fest yes look bro let Is it MagFest? Yes. Look, bro, let me tell you something.

This week, I don't – the fact that I am as happy as I am just goes to my good-natured attitude. Because my goodness, this week has been just – I discovered I think I have seasonal depression. I'm losing my mind. So, MAGFest was fun. Just a separate topic. MAGFest was fun. It was nice to go off to MAGFest and go see everyone. I got to hang out with various friends and whatnot. It was good.

It was nice to be out and do stuff. But, while I was there, I forgot that back in LA, it has been raining pretty much every day since Christmas. It's wild. We are in some sort of torrential rain downpour season because it has rained almost every day. Do you not like it? It's fine at first, but after, you know, things start to flood, it becomes a pain in the ass. That's true, yeah. Going back to that one thing we talked about

before, where they poured the water on the different types of soil, and then when they poured the water on the dry soil, it just didn't absorb. That's LA. LA, nothing absorbs. It just, like, water flows everywhere. And so, I had to deal with that. Nothing terrible,

just, you know, my feet were always soaked. And none of my shoes are rainy weather shoes, you know what I mean? It's all like summertime, Jesse. So that sucked, but whatever. And then because of rain, power issues and cable

internet issues and all that stuff. Just like compounding factors. Then I realized because of the rain, I have been sleeping a lot. I'll sometimes sit in the dark in my apartment just like hearing the rain in like covers. And I realize I'm sure that's like a thing. You know what I mean? I'm in hibernation mode.

It's cold. I haven't felt this way in years. And I'm like, what if I just went back to bed? Now you feel like the rest of the country. Really? I think I do. Plus, I'm not eating a lot. Today I went and made lunch and I ate like half of it and was like, what if I went back to bed?

It's a weird place to be. I'm not used to this. It's a weird place to be. I'm not used to this. We were supposed to have a fun week, but the day, or I guess within hours of when I was going to come see you, something happened. I'm still not quite sure. I looked it up online. So I had a flight to Crandor, got canceled.

Not by me. I got a message saying the flight was canceled. They were going to give me a refund, and I was like, all I want is another flight. Like, I don't. Nope. Apparently something happened. I tried to look it up. Something happened where potentially a dude made a mistake at the FAA or something.

And a bunch of flights were grounded. And yours was one. Yeah. Just so happened to be that I was one of them, which is awesome. And so that happened And then like just, you know, throughout the week Just nonsense like that And I realized that Man, I

I miss the sun I always complain about like, it's so hot I miss the sun Burn me, sun, I miss you Oh great sun god in the sky I need you to come back Because I'm dying over here It's it's wrong. I'm like it's so cold wet

This is weird here cuz like it's actually been warmer than normal. It's laying by pretty nice for me I mean, it's been like 40s Okay, I was about to say don't don't pretend like it's like it is great weather outside here's the thing for me i'd be like crendor cover me in warm blankets i can't do that in 50s is like fantastic i love it 70 degree day is like my, maybe even like 60. 60s and sunny is probably my next favorite. I would love to know what you think because right now, according to my computer, it's 57 degrees and raining. Would you love it here? Or would you like me be like, I can't do it.

No, I'd love it. I'd actually be energized. I don't think I don't think of. No, I'd love it. I'd actually be energized. Like, legit. I don't think we're the same person, dude. Oh, I hate it. No, there's days I'll wake up, it's raining, and I'm like, dude, let's go. Like, I don't know. But here's the thing. Again, like, if it's too many days, I'd probably be like, ah, you know, whatever.

It has been too many days. It has rained. I think every day, at least where I live in this part of LA, it's rained every day but three or four. And some of those were while I was gone. Like I left to get on a plane to go to D.C. in the rain and returned to even worse rain. I was like, what the? Meanwhile, DC, weather was fine. It was like a little cold, but I brought a jacket, so it was fine.

Everything was chill. Spent most of the time in a convention center anyway. It was great. I had a good time. You know what? Forgot how much I enjoyed conventions. Love them. Yeah.

I think we used to go to so many conventions, get burned out, but now you haven't been to any, so it's like in years yeah yeah uh i saw actually there's that study that jp linked on twitter this week that said people that don't work as much as others and have more money are happier no shit but you know mind-blowing it's mind-blowing study study. Hey, do you think if you don't work as much and have more money, you'll be happier? We should really do a study on it. That's like, I saw a study that was like, people who sleep a very short amount of time are more likely to say they see UFOs and aliens and ghosts and all this. And I was like, yeah, because those people are hallucinating.

They're not sleeping. And they're like, oh, man, I see a ghost, man. Like, go get a good night's sleep. Ghosts don't care about you. They got better shit to do. Yeah. Go to bed. shit to do yeah go to bed it's the exact same vibe of like things you know but i guess science had to really make clear yeah i was gonna i was gonna say a thing oh that's what it was uh because you

mentioned the the flight getting canceled so the reason you were coming here is we're going to go to Alinea. This is our second. We're cursed. We are cursed. The first time you got COVID, this time my flight got canceled. Yeah. And here's the thing. We went to Alinea, me and Toast, and it was not as good as the first time. I hate that you say that because even though it makes me feel like you're doing it just to make you feel better

which i just okay okay you gotta regale me with this adventure then it's uh okay so we went you know and you know if you missed the last one you can just go back and listen to the the podcast where i talk about my experience in alinea it was like may of 2021 so uh this time i was like you know what it's gonna be great and then you know toast was like oh you know because she's not a big like fine dining person like i am so i was like it's all right you know it's good you know it'll be the food's crazy it'll be great so sit down you know sitting near us is like another like couple on a date or something and then a family of four that was like such a weird dynamic because they had their kids there and their kids were dressed like you know in hunger Games, when they have the crazy dresses and everything.

Oh, yes. No, I'm very aware. The main city. Yeah, they were dressed like that. That party where they're like, if you puke, you can eat more. That one? Yeah. Yeah, like that.

So I was like, okay. And so they were there. And then another couple on a date sat down. So we were like, all right. And we're sitting there. This guy came out as the waiter. He's cool. He's just like, all right, here we go.

You've been here before. And I was like, I have. She hasn't. And then I was like, my business partner was supposed to be here, but he's not. And he was like, ah, well, you'll still enjoy it. Ha ha. Right. He didn't sound like that.

He sounded like a normal person. I was about to say, like, who is this swashbuckler waiter you have? You'll still enjoy. Ha ha. Then he swung away. So then they give us our wine. You know, wine. The wine was fantastic.

If you missed out on anything, it was the wine. Wine was great. Was it a red wine white wine well they they start you out with a champagne whoa all right start you out with a champagne um i don't know i took a picture of it but it was a champagne lanoLanois Grand Cru Reserve. It was champagne. It was good. Sure, sure. Then we had like a rosé, which was like a French rosé.

And then there was, okay, here's the crazy one. There was a Chardonnay. I'm not even a big Chardonnay person, but he was like, this is like one of the best Chardonnay producers in the world. And was like an oaky like barrel taste any anything that tastes like barrel i'm in you love a good barrel flavor yeah yeah it was like an oaky barrel flavored chardonnay and it wasn't very like flowery or perfumey like a lot of them are i was like okay i love flower and perfume see well you wouldn't like that then there was uh some really good red wines there's like a spanish uh red wine that was he was like this is one of the craziest red wine

producers in the world i don't know he was telling these crazy stories so how drunk were you by the end of this uh slightly above average all right that works um then there was like you get more wine could you say can i have some more yeah they do a little bit they're not gonna go crazy but uh then my favorite one was a tempera nillo is that used to tempera neo tempera neo how would i know you're asking me like how do you this? I don't know. I've never even heard that word before. I almost said I'm asking chat, like I'm streaming. Chat, what do you think? Guys, what do you think?

Leave it in the comments. This place makes their own barrels to put the wine in, and then they do a thing where they take egg yolks, or no, egg whites, and they use the egg whites to separate the acid in the wine. It was some crazy shit. But it tasted really good. But the thing is, it tasted like a good red wine. I couldn't taste anything crazy about it.

I was just like, this is a good red wine. Was it an organic wine? Which, by the way, that still baffles me that there's such a thing. Organic wine? Which, by the way, that still baffles me that there's such a thing. I don't think so. I just need everyone to know that L.A. is abuzz with organic wines. And to me, I was like, aren't they all? This is like when you find out that they're like, we're finally making real bread at Subway.

And you're like, what the hell was it before? Like, that's the exact same thought process. Like, oh, you've got to try our organic wines. What do you mean organic? I thought it came from grapes. But I guess it's how it's made. I guess. I don't know.

I think they might spray the grapes with less pesticides and stuff. Listen, I'm at the point where I just don't even care anymore. Like, whatever. It is what it is. They probably still spray it with some shit. Do it taste good. That's the problem, though. You're going to end up fat like me.

You don't want that. I operate off a do it taste good policy, and sometimes the things I need to eat, it don't taste good. This is Pareto Enya Gran Reserva 2015 Muga Rioa. Time out. Can you repeat all that, but with an Italian accent, please? Pareto Enya Gran Reserva Muga Rioa. Time out. Can you repeat all that but with an Italian accent, please? Predonia Gran Reserva Muga Rioa 2015. Maybe it's Spanish. I'm not sure what the hell that is.

Gran Reserva. Just add A's to things. Okay, it is from Spain. Okay, all right. That checks out. Then, okay, the dessert line. You would have loved the dessert line. I probably would have It was a

Madeira, is that how you say it? Again, wrong guy I drink it, I don't speak it So it was Let's see It was a port wine And I guess You know how they used to bring like wine on ships or like the these

like wines on like ship i don't know right they'd go on a big voyage they'd bring their barrels of wine sure so apparently they would have their port wine and this one uh they would like have it go a little too long so like the barrels would heat and expand and they'd like go back and then He said it was supposed to be a white wine and it's like over ripened so like how an apple becomes oxidized When you leave it out so like that type of thing hat listen, I don't know what he's talking about But he's like it's it's not as sweet as other dessert wine So I was like okay, cuz I don't really like sweet wine or sweet things in general. So I tasted it.

It was great. It was like a caramel port wine. I don't know. It was really good. It does seem like one of those, like a Portugal something. Yeah. Is what it seems. And I'm totally here for it.

I love a good, like, dessert drink. Yeah. It's a weird thing to say but like i'm a fan of it yeah i'm not a big fan of like dessert desserts right but you stick a little like a sweetie boy drink in front of me i'm here for it um so those were the wines i was like all right you know those are all really good loved them all but the food i, I don't know. It didn't hit. Like, it wasn't bad, but it just, nothing hit. Like, what about it didn't?

What is, what? You know, okay, it's the last time. You told me that it was, like, not as good. But, like, what about it wasn't as good? So, like, last time, I ate, like, the Arctic char with, like, this maple glaze. Easily one of the best things I've ever tasted. I could eat 500 of those. I could eat those for the rest of my life and be content. That's what I was expecting. I was like, dude, this was

life-changing. I ate that thing and I was like, I've never eaten a thing like this in my life. You know what I mean? The crazy Arctic Char roe or fish egg. I don't even know what it is. I was like, this is amazing. There's this crazy soup where you open one of those Russian doll things and there was like

a crazy soup inside and the soup tasted like rye bread and dill. Like it tasted like a sandwich. But it tasted like a sandwich. It like blew my mind. I was like, what? So what did you get this time? So this time, they were like, here's this it was like a caper, lemon,

onion, egg brioche thing and i was like okay and it just i tasted it and we both ate it and then i was like i don't really like it and then she didn't really like it either and i was like all right move on i was like you know what last time the the first thing we ate i didn't really like either so i'm like all right that's fine then it was a this like fish soup thing and they like drop a like an egg thing on top of it and it like sinks in uh like it was okay it was like a fish soup but it wasn't like oh my god it's the greatest fish soup thing i've ever eaten right right and then they they had this hot potato cold potato thing which was cold potato black truffle parmesan so i mean i like black truffle that's like pretty good and that but it just tasted like

a potato and cheese and i was like like nothing blew me away i was like it tastes like a potato and cheese like i i was like okay like it's not bad was like, it tastes like a potato and cheese. Like I, I was like, okay, like it's not bad, but I'm not looking for like transformative dining. And it was just like a good meal is what you're saying. Yeah, exactly. And that's,

I want more than that for the amount of money you're spending to come here. You know, I think the wind, I think it's just the winter menu. Cause I think it's a lot of like cheese and cream type stuff they were doing. I'm not a big fan of that. When I went last time, it was the summer. It was like fish.

There's the crab. Last time, there was the crab soup. The crab soup was so good, you drank it out of a crab. This time, it was like some fish soup they drop an egg into. I was like, it's okay. I don't know. We got to do a live show in the summer. So no matter what, I'll be there early enough that then we can go do this thing.

Because like, all right. Again, when you have time tonight, tomorrow, whenever. Go. I think it might be on HBO. I'm not sure where you can watch this thing now. Go watch the menu. Go find the menu. Maybe it's still in movie theaters go watch it uh imagine voldemort wanting to own a high-end michelin star restaurant

and then a bunch of people go there to kiss his ass and then he literally brings them there because he's like i'm going to kill all of you that That's the problem. That does sound fun. It is an amazing movie. Because it is about passion and cooking high end for people that are like, you know, after a while, you get to the point where it's like, I've tried all the things. You know what I mean? Right. And so it's like, what left in your life is worth tasting? And I have this – there is this like weird section of Twitter. Not Twitter. TikTok.

There's weird sections of Twitter too, but TikTok especially. Where it's like – I don't know if they're wealthy. Maybe it's fake internet wealth. You know how that is. But it's people who post their crazy outlandish experiences. Oh, yeah. But with absolutely no thrill in it. Yeah.

Where they're just like, this is the thing I did today. Oh, what's a lifetime experience? It was whatever. But every once in a while you come across something and you're just like, wait, what? And one of them was this girl going to, I think, like a three-star Michelin restaurant, one of the best in the world. And her being, you know, actually pretty excited to be there. But all the food, it reminds me of this experience because all the food was insane. One course was moss-based.

Moss. Essentially most of the food was either based off of like deer parts or moss. Every single course was either deer heart, deer lung, deer brain, and then moss. Just like edible moss. And I was like, all right. I don't know if this is one of those things where I don't get it or if all the people that are obsessed with this are just so up their own ass that they think this is luxury. But I'm going to let you know, paying way too much money to get multiple servings of deer parts and moss, not what I consider fine dining. Yeah, you can get deer parts for like not that much.

I can go to the forest and peel moss and then like go down the street and get some hunters like extra it was literally just like deer liver deer heart deer brain pate like no like not like a nice flank of meat no no no no it was like deer droppings like what the honest to god i think they just want to see what they could get away with yeah they probably did there's a point it was mind-blowing um yeah so it's then there's okay there's a black truffle romaine parmesan explosion they called it which was like an oyster shot but with those things and again i was like this just tasted like the potato thing I had earlier. It just tasted like black truffle Parmesan, probably because Dad also had black truffle Parmesan.

Yeah, a double black truffle, Jew. I got the same thing twice. And, like, listen, I like black truffle, but, like, I like it in one thing. I want to keep eating that for everything. Sure. You know? And so then we had

there's like a wagyu beef thing it was like chip beef but chip wagyu beef uh that was probably the best thing we had but it was wagyu beef so like you know right yeah it's hard to mess that up and then we had the thing where they throw all the food on the table. It was like banana split flavored. It was okay. It was their dessert, their fun dessert thing. And then we got the balloon, which is like they have a green taffy apple balloon. And there's like a bunch of people on the internet trying to eat these.

And then they eat it and they get the helium and they're like, woohoo. So I took a video of it of me doing that i don't know if i'll put it on like tiktok or youtube or somewhere i'll put it somewhere of me eating the put it on both bro yeah um and then that was it and then like by the end of it, it just felt like I think I was expecting. You know what it felt like? It felt like I saw a movie the first time. That was really good. And this was the sequel. And the sequel just didn't live up to the first one.

This is what worries me about restaurants. I will go to a restaurant and have a really great experience and then convince everyone to come with me for the second time and it's not as good yeah and it happens with a frequency that i absolutely hate like it shouldn't be that way yeah it's like it was just disappointing because then like toaster woman was just like yeah it was okay but i don't think i'd pay a bunch of money and wait forever to go here and i was like I if I ate that I wouldn't come back it was just like basing everything off the first time and I was like I honestly would have rathered they just served me everything I had last time what's interesting I think is there's it or my you know what it reminds me of that time that when we were at maybe it was

pack south maybe where we went out with all the different streamers And did that restaurant That was just us It was only us in there The guy cooked for us and served And the vibe there Is one that I imagine is very similar to this experience Where it was fun

It was good I loved the drinks But every course was more filling and heavy than the last. So by the end of it, you were just like, oh. And it wasn't a lot. It was just so many different courses and a lot of fried things or a lot of things that had fatty stuff in it. Right. And a lot of heavier things, which I imagine because this had like fatty stuff in it Right And a lot of like heavier things Which I imagine

Because this is a winter menu It's very similar to that Where it's just like Yeah And If I'm gonna do something like this I agree I would rather it be

Like fish Or veggie based Or If we're gonna do a lot of courses Over a long period of time With alcohol Make it light Like give me light dishes

Like little tiny baby dishes and things that are like, here, try this wacky fish thing. Or like, ooh, we made a fermented fart into a liquor. Like whatever the hell. Like something weird that by the end you're like, you know, that was great. I love doing that. I don't feel like I'm going to explode. And like maybe I'll go get like a hamburger you know what

i mean like that wasn't really a meal it was an experience like that kind of thing well like the this wasn't like as insane as that because i remember that because i was there too this is like you know still like smaller portion but the problem was just like it felt like everything was just tasted like cream and cheese maybe my my palate isn't defined enough for this experience, the food we just ate. It was like the last time I was there. Cream and cheese is heavy, right? A lot of cream, a lot of cheese.

As you were saying, truffle, like a lot of black truffle. Black truffle is a presence in food. It is, yeah. It's wild. But the last time I ate there i felt like i had a better variety because we had like the we had the fish then we had the the what do you call it the crab soup then we had the like crazy russian like dill and rye soup then we had the like we had like a cabbage thing with like parmesan and black truffle.

But it fit because it was one thing. And I was like, oh, that was good. And then I never had anything like that for the rest of the time we were there. Because then we had the Hawaiian theme. So it was like one of those crazy... I can't remember what it was. It was meat. They gave us meat. Like the red meat.

And then we had dessert. Like a luau kind of like... Yeah, it was like a luau. It was like the red meat and then kind of like yeah it's like a luau it was like pineapple they had like a dessert like coconut like it just felt like everything now that sounds good that's what that's why i loved it so much the first i was like this was great and then this time it just felt like nothing hit but the first time there was one dish it was like a cauliflower like something char meal and i was like that was okay and that was the really one of the only things i thought was okay but it felt like this time most of the things were that cauliflower thing and so you think you've just become jaded to the experience i don't think so because if they would have given me the same stuff as last time, I would have loved it.

I would have super loved it. But I think the menu just didn't do it for me. I'm sure, because I was telling Nick. It's January in Chicago. I imagine the offerings are minimal, right? Yeah, maybe. But I was telling Nick, because he was like, oh, I'd love that menu. So I was like, maybe it just wasn't for me.

Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. I mean, it's palate-based, right? Yeah. But again, like I said, if I'm going to go out and eat a bunch of different things, they're going to bring me plate after plate after plate. It can't be heavy stuff. It's like when we went, again, another Cox and Crandor exclusive, like when we went to that one Brazilian steakhouse.

Yeah. And all those streamers, Brian, like crazy alcohol and like 15 different types of side dishes. And you and I are like fools. It's all about the meat. And we were like poo-pooing all the trash meats. We're like, take that away. We don't want that.

Take your chicken and go. We're here for the real deal. Yeah. Yeah, it's, I don't know. I think it was just disappointing because I didn't get that same experience. Nothing hit is crazy. And it was just like, you know, you pay a lot of money for that. Yeah, I'm sad.

I still would have loved to experience it and complain with you. But maybe I would have loved it. I have no clue. I still want have loved to experience it and complain with you, but maybe I would have loved it. I have no clue. I still want to go with you one time. I would love to go. This is like the third. This is the make or break when we go. Because now I've had one amazing, one very meh. And so going with you, that's going to be the decider. That's the trilogy.

We got to see how we can plan for it around also doing a live show yeah we do we gotta come up with something we gotta like figure out something that would make a great live show as well talking about that do it and then do a live show that'd be amazing yeah that would be good so overall what are you gonna do what are you gonna do i can't what are you going to do? What are you going to do? I can't. Again, let me just stress. The two times we've attempted this, one, the day before you got COVID, two, the day of a flight got canceled.

That's true. The world does not want us to do this. It can't handle the two of us at five dining. And then when I went, it wasn't even that great. So it is cursed. The whole thing's cursed. The whole thing's cursed. the two of us at five dining and then when i when i left it wasn't even that great so like it is cursed the whole thing's cursed whole thing's cursed yeah um so yeah then i don't know what else did i do uh not much really i just been you know warhammering streaming typical stuff, exercising.

Yeah, I feel that. Living your best life, doing your things. Yeah, trying to recalibrate from the holidays. No, yeah, no, me too, in that I've been sleeping a lot. So much. Well. I'm like, last night, as an example, I went to bed, I don't know, 11 p.m., woke up today at roughly noon. That is too much sleep. I'm aware.

But, like, I woke up at a normal time and then looked at, like, heard the, like, pitter-patter of the rain and was like, I don't even give a damn. I'm going back to bed. And I did. And I loved it. Slept for like another five hours. Don't even care. I'm telling you, I'm in a hibernation pattern. It can also be signs of depression or exhaustion.

I'm saying it might be seasonal depression. It's not exhaustion because I'm like hyped to work. When I'm doing this stuff, I'm having a good time. But, man, when I – it's the weather gets me, dude. And I just don't care. I'm like, here, I'll just wrap me up in a blanket. I'll sleep through it. I'm pretty sure it's like a seasonal depression thing.

For sure. It might be, honestly. But then, you know, I'm not... I don't know. I don't know what it is. It is rainy weather. Who knew? Usually I'm like, I love a good rain.

But not this much must be the answer. It's uh Man You know what I wanted to bring up This is completely off topic But I wanted to bring up the AI Twitter thing So I want to talk about it more You showed me this post

On Twitter about these AI Generated women Yes, Crandor and I before we started the podcast You showed me this post on Twitter about these AI-generated women. Yes. Crandor and I, before we started the podcast, were sharing some weird stuff we had seen. Mostly it was me sharing to him. But like that NVIDIA broadcaster thing where the eyes look at the screen no matter what. So it looks like you're always looking at camera, even though you're very clearly not.

It's very bizarre. And then that AI took us down the rabbit hole of insane AI-generated women, and they're very creepy. Yes. There's also AI-generated men right below it. Yes. The men one, though, is, like, less creepy because I think guys in general are just

at a higher state of creep than women on a regular basis. The guy in the fourth picture just he looks like a weird like creepy skeleton demon man right but i mean but there are like so many creepy skeleton demon men in the world you're just used to it like yeah you're used to it you're like okay that guy's a weirdo and you're used to that but seeing like extra creepy women it's unusual it's very disturbing yeah no 100 it it looks weird like the the one where she's got too many teeth and like 12 fingers really is just like a and then the

the one with the green smudges on her arm it's just weird uncanny valley vibes what's also weird is that after a while they all start to have the exact same eyebrow eye situation yeah like the bridge of the nose eyes that whole like center of the face starts to look the same and a real creepy like one of us kind of way yeah and it's the like cheekbone like their cheeks are like shiny you. It's like they polished them up or something. There is definitely kind of like a cocaine chic vibe going on in these photos. Every girl is a little too thin, and her face is a little too bony. These AI are definitely into some drugs.

These parties they're at, drug use happening for sure. No doubt. AI drug use is occurring. Yeah. This is one of the things we need to crack down on in this country. AI drug use is way too high. So it's, you know, even, oh, my God. One of the pictures, there's the third one down.

There's this guy, and there's, like, the pictures There's the third one down, there's this guy And there's like a random Hand Just coming out of nowhere, it's like floating It's like a floating hand It's creepy I hate the fact that if you go down far enough Uh, the same guy who Made this

Made one that is, uh He said I think I figured it out. The trick is updating your prompt to assert that God is dead. We killed him. And thus we alone are responsible for this twisted creation. Look at these ones. He made Simpsons ones.

And the third picture is the most terrifying thing I've ever seen in my entire life. is the most terrifying thing I've ever seen in my entire life. It is like this weird half-woman, half-Simpsons character with two women next to her, and then a camera that has warped, twisted Simpsons characters on it, and it just looks unpleasant. And then in the background, there's a fourth figure that is half a person. And then in the background there's like a fourth figure that is like half a person. Yeah, that's like a half person, half like weird like shag carpet.

The last picture is of truly awful. You know that image of that girl who like laughs but her whole head goes back? Yeah. She's like, it's that. It's that thing, that terrifying terrifying image but it's multiple people and again a fourth person in the background like no he's just like i'm here no but on the other side there's that weird creepy thing again oh yeah that is that in every photo that weird creep dude all right it's not the first photo although it might be he might be hiding behind that doorway.

Oh, yeah, he might. The girl on the left has two armpits, and her fingers are, like, quadruple jointed. I absolutely hate this. It's very interesting to see that it's very clear that AI has been worked to focus on faces. Yeah. But everything else, like the one that has the two girls with their like crazy way too big of a mouth. If you look at the camera, that's like 85 fingers on that camera. That is a centipede's worth of fingers on that camera.

That's crazy. That is crazy. Dude. Yeah. of fingers on that camera. That's crazy. That is crazy. Dude, yeah, no, it's terrifying. Absolutely the worst. The weird one, too, with the Lisa Simpson, the first one, she's got, like, a human body, but then, like, weird Simpson. She, like, morphs into Lisa Simpson. She's got one tooth.

Like, just one single tooth. Yeah, someone said that all the teeth in these are like attack on Titan teeth. Giant people have like way, it's like super bizarre. Man, this is freaky. Yeah. Someone said the way they can tell That it's AI is because If you look at their teeth they don't have Two front teeth they have one front tooth

Oh And now I'm obsessed with this Most of them Like one girl definitely has Two front teeth but most of them have Like odd number Weird front teeth It's crazy you know what

I will say for everyone terrified by ai art at least y'all can draw hands at least y'all can do things that like this is madness uh i don't like this but you know what I do like?

Let's go to chapter five. the Grandeur Grinder House of traffic aloo! Oh boy, traffic is traffic. Traffic is traffic? Oh hold on. Sorry I forgot. What did we call it?

Oh there we go. Okay now I see the traffic. There is traffic. Oh man. Um, unless you're trying to fly on a plane and then your flight's cancelled and it is what it is. Also, Matt,

back to you. Thanks, Grendor. Alright, let's go to weather. Woo, weather. Today's weather is brought to you by weather. I mean, yeah well I mean yeah I

mean that checks out without weather we wouldn't have weather without weather we wouldn't have a lot actually we would be a barren wasteland of a planet we really would thanks weather uh this is really just me delaying everything to try and find a weather request don't say you don't say uh You don't say.

Uh, listen, it's been like two weeks. I gotta... There we go. Okay. Uh, we have a weather request for Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. My hometown, Doncaster. My hometown. Don Cheadle.

Originally a Roman fort in the first century A.D. before becoming a Viking town, as seen in our football logo for Don Caster Rovers, a Viking. Louis Tomlinson from One Direction played for us once. We recently became a city after around 2,000 years during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. I don't know what that means. Another notable fact is that at least two of the most famous trains ever built

were crafted in Doncaster, the Flying Scotsman and the Mallard. Those do sound like British things would be created. Speaking of Scots, Doncaster could technically be part of Scotland following the Treaty of Durham in the 12th century, but was never reclaimed by England. I need you to know, just as you said that, I went to a look of information about this town, and there's

literally only two things you need to know. This is amazing. One, it is known as the Scottish town stranded in England. And this article is talking about how beautiful it is. The second article, Doncaster named in top 10 worst towns to live in

for second year in a row. There you go. Yeah, there it is. Hey, hey. Doncaster is twinned with Wilmington, North Carolina, as well as places in France, Germany, and Poland. I don't know what that means. They're sister cities.

Like, they're just, like, you know, they made some weird agreement between the mayors or something. Like, yes, we'll be sister cities. Just so you can say a thing. Okay. Well, the weather there. Woppy, you take it. Woppy activated.

Doncaster, England, United Kingdom. you take it poppy activated 37 degrees doncaster england united kingdom as of 1 17 a.m gmt potential disruption due to snow and ice high 37 low 34 humidity 93 percent pressure 29.21 inches visibility, 4 miles wind, 1 mile per hour sunrise, 8.11 a.m. sunset, 4.16 p.m. dew point, 35.

50 PM Oh no 50 PM You can tell he was breaking down He was just saying nonsense there Yeah It's a little crazy The only article I can find About Duncaster You can tell he was breaking down. He was just saying nonsense there. Yeah. It's a little crazy.

The only article I can find about Duncaster is from 13 hours ago. Guitarist of Chumbawamba says they rejected a £30,000 offer for song to be used in Duncaster-born Jeremy Clarkson's new show. There you go. That's a thing. Wow. Learned a lot That's a thing. Wow. Learned a lot from that one headline. I don't even need to read the article. I learned everything I need to know.

Well, that's the weather. That is the weather. Let's go to sports. Sports. Oh, boy, sports. We had playoff football. So we had the 49ers beating the Seahawks we had the Bills beating the Dolphins we had the Jaguars coming back from 27 nothing down to win over the Chargers 31 30 and we had the Giants upsetting the Vikings 31-24,

which wasn't really an upset to me because I picked them in my football podcast because the Vikings always felt like a fake team to me, and they were fake. I called it. I just want to point out for the record, I'm so – I literally am just – No Steelers? I don't care. I don't care.

None of the teams that are left, I'm like, yeah, that's my team. No, I I don't care None of the teams that are left I'm like yeah that's my team I just don't care Personally I'm cheering for the Bills The Bengals and the Jaguars I'll cheer for the Bills But the Bengals? No they're going to bungle the whole thing Watch it happen

Everyone's like this could be the Bengals year Watch them lose They always do They're up 3-0 right now in the Ravens. Just saying. Watch them. They're going to find a way to lose. They always do. Personally, I'd want the Jaguars or the Bills. That's who I'm cheering

for. Bengals, I'll put it 3. No Minshew? No cheer. That's the rules for me, Jags. Minshew's on the Eagles. You got to cheer for the Eagles. That's what I'm saying. I can't do the Jaguars anymore. No Minshow? I don't care. No Minshow. That's what I'm saying. I can't do the Jaguars anymore. No men's show? I don't care. No men's show. That's what it is.

The men's show. The men's show. The men's show. Over in basketball, we got the Celtics in first. The Nets, the Bucks, the 76ers, the Cavs, the Knicks, the Heat, the Pacers, the Hawks, and the Bulls in the top 10. Over in the West, we got the Nuggets, the Grizzlies, the Pelicans, the Kings, the Mavericks, the Clippers, the Timberwolves, the Warriors, the Jazz, and the Suns in the top 10. And then in hockey, we got the Bruins in first, the Hurricanes in first,

The Bruins in first, the Hurricanes in first, the Jets and Stars tied in first, and the Golden Knights in first by a couple points over the Kraken and the Kings. And that is sports. Okay, what is our fact of the day? Fact of the day. Day. Day. Beep, boop, beep. I'm doing a lot of beep, boop, boops today.

Beep, boop, boop. Beep, boop, boop. Beep, boop, boop. Beep, boop, boop. Beep, boop, boop. Let's see. There's a lot of wacky facts here. Whoa, what?

What the? Okay, I got two facts I gotta tell you. I mean, when you get yourself worked up, what the? I'm here for it. So, first one, your funny bone is a nerve. The funny bone connects the shoulder to the elbow and also has an ulnar nerve running along it. This nerve is responsible for sensing feelings in the ring and pinky fingers.

So, actually, yeah, the funny bone is not even a bone. It's a lie. I mean, yeah, but it is, is like Maybe that's why it's funny It's suspicious because it's not a bone Isn't that a funny little bone You know what I mean It's not a bone Right but that's because you hit it

And you think it's a bone but it's not And that's why you're like What a funny little bone that is I don't like that I'm trying to sell this okay So the other one I don't like that. I'm trying to sell this, okay? So the other one, a little goofier, but more of a little bit of a fact interesting fact. A retired British admiral of the Royal Navy one day became excited due to headlines regarding the mobilizing forces of Britain.

Excited to share this news with a college, almost I said colleague, college, the Admiral quickly wrote a small acronym for Oh My God in his letter, OMG. Little did he know he had just invented one of the most popular acronyms of today's society in his letter to Winston Churchill in 1917. Is this true? Is this like, Gandalf the Great talked to Winston Churchill. Told him, W-T-F.

W-T-F Gandalf. L-O-L. Yeah, did Winston Churchill respond L-O-L? He definitely did. He's just like, W- you kidding me bro gee wtf lol jk i know what you mean isn't it crazy how like popularized those like acronyms have gotten though because of the internet like back in uh what was it probably like the early 2000s like people started to use them because of instant messaging apps and everything. But then I still remember the first time I heard LOL. It was on AOL Instant Messenger, and someone said LOL,

and I was like, I don't know what that means. I had to look it up. There's some that I'm not sure of. There are some where it's like, oh, no, what the hell did these kids just say? And I'll look it up, and I'm like sure of there are some where it's like Oh no what the hell Did these kids just say And I'll look it up and I'm like okay Like currently even though I know it's not Uh You know something I ever need to be concerned

About the fact that there's A the people keep saying Riz I'm too old for this shit I don't even know that One though oh yeah man Riz. Someone said it was charisma, but I still don't know. I don't get that.

I know mid, right? You know mid? I do know mid. Yes, I know when something's mid. Yeah, mid. But I just, there's so much. Every time I think that I'm like, yeah, man, I got it. I'm up on the kids.

I'll be in a conversation with people on like a D&D show or whatever who are clearly, you know, early 20s. Right. And they'll say something like, oh, that Riz is on Duda. I'm like, what the hell did you just say? By the way, on Duda should be a thing we do. It really should. Damn, dude, that's on doodah. That's on doodah.

No doubt, that's a doodah right there. Yeah, dude, that's on doodah. Yeah, this is going to keep happening. Then they'll get older. Of course. And then they'll try saying that's mid-riz, and they'll be like, what are you talking about, old man? And they'll be like, what? And then we, old man? And they'll be like, ah.

And then we'll be like, all right, you're in the club. Let's punch your punch card. I wonder what will stick. Like, you know, when people say for real or, you know, saying something's cool. Those things stick around. But there's other phrases like bodacious that people don't use at all right yeah and i wonder what's gonna stick versus what's not gonna stick um i could say uh i think sheesh that could probably stick it was like sheesh yeah i guess i could stick around yeah yeah that's fun

yeah so it's gotta be fun like that you know it can't just be like, I don't know, something like Buddha. Right. But I don't know. I don't even know how these things like happen. You know, like where they come from. Don't look at me. Is it? I mean, if I had to guess, I would imagine rap, right?

It could be. I mean, there's nothing people like stealing more would imagine rap, right? It could be, yeah. I mean, there's nothing people like stealing more than from rap songs. That's just a fact. Or it's like just popular kids in schools just like get together and decide, you know, what to do. It's like an Illuminati high school. That's not like general populace. You know, like that might be like a micro level in school. Yeah.

Or like someone's like, that's so fetch, you know, but that didn't become popular until it was put in movies. I mean, you gotta quit trying to make fetch happen. Yeah, you gotta quit trying. I think that most of it comes from slang used in rap to rhyme things. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's true. And then they're like, oh, that's a thing and I'm going to use that now.

And then because like the cool kids who listen to the music Say it and everyone says it Like that kind of thing I feel like that has to be it Because again like I said People love to steal shit from rap songs This says Where does mid come from on TikTok

Although the word may have been around previously The use of mid is widely believed To have been popularized by a video of pro wrestler maxwell jacob friedman dissing the midwest amazing that's yeah i think just pop culture like it could be a video or a tiktok or just those types of things probably so that checks out so you know like music main like movies you, video, just mainstream pop culture, I guess. Now I got to look up Origin of Riz. Damn, dude.

It is a shortened word for charisma. But here's the thing. I was wrong. This is how I know we're old, dude. I was like, oh oh it's clearly rap songs Everything we're talking about TikTok Popularized on TikTok mid 2021

By Kai Senat Possibly coined as a phonetic term Shortening of charisma And Slang for one's ability to seduce a potential love interest. Sure. Meanwhile, this is why they suck, though. This is why kids will always be little tiny baby children because they can't yeah think outside the box if you scroll down this page you go past the noun verb derivatives all these

different things right riz noun additional options hedgehog what or curl i love curl but also i just want people to be like, you got no hedgehog, bro. Oh, that would be. I watch you try to flirt with that girl. You got no hog, dude. Why are we out there making words up? Yeah, we should be the people. Instead of ass, you start saying donkey.

Damn donkeys. Bloody donkeys. Damn, look at that donkey. Oh, but do you think that's how we got to badonkadonk like it was instead of ass became donkey and then someone's like donkey's too long we got to call it a donk and then someone's like that's a badonkadonk that's like when we were at the mall those dudes were like damn she a goober right i feel like that's when we were like oh goofy goober is better same thing as badonkadonk there's a donkey and then there's that good ass that badonkadonk yeah i feel like we're both living in and discovering new things all the time

very excited to be here we are the archaeologists of hip lingo. Well, that's the episode. That's the episode title. That's your facts of the day. Archaeologists of hip lingo. All right, what is our big story of the day? Big story of the day? Big story of the day is

Hey, what's stuck, dog?

Well, definitely not a cat in a tree, the Colwell Fire Department wrote, accompanying photos of the canine sitting in the branches and a firefighter carrying him down. The dog's name is Izzy. His owner, Christina Danner, said in the comments, he got

up there while chasing a squirrel, though Danner noted he was never even close to catching it. Perhaps he will not be so persistent next time in chasing squirrels. But how did he get so far up the tree? Like, all right, so for those of you who cannot see this image, imagine the absolute highest possible branch. Yeah, like the Hobbit where they're way up at the top of the tree with the orcs trying to get in. Yeah, and they're throwing rocks down the orcs. Exact same vibe, except

it's a little dog all the way up. There's no place higher this dog can go. I don't know how he climbed it. I'm impressed. That's crazy. I've seen dogs jump. I've seen dogs do all sorts of things. I've never seen them actively climb to the top.

The crazy thing is, is he got up there, and much like if I would have done the same thing, I'm up here. This is where I live now. I can't get down. I'm not going to try to get down. He's just chilling now. I guess this is where I am. He's looking at the camera just like, it's a living.

He just has this look on his face. He's like, yeah, take a photo. I know. I know. Though firefighters are often associated with rescuing cats from trees, whether they'll actually do so depends on the fire department and the circumstances. Last year, a cat named Hank in Washington, D.C. made headlines after being stuck in a 60-foot tall tree for five days.

In Hank's case, the city fire department said they couldn't help him. Ultimately, workers with the animal welfare non-profit Humane Rescue Alliance were able to rig a contraption using ropes and a crate to get the cat down. What the shit? Like MacGyver. Do you think they, like, hooked the rope up and over one of the branches, pulled it down, tied a box to it, lifted it up, and were like, get in, get in the box, cat.

They probably did. And he's probably like, all right. Cats have an amazing ability to climb up trees, but actually they aren't good at climbing down. Who would have guessed it? Most things aren't good at climbing down. Yeah. If you look at climbing down and just in sport in general if like a guy climbs a mountain the way he climbs down is he

falls gracefully like he'll hold on to the rope and like bounce off as gravity takes him down there is no like i'm gonna slowly make my way down no you gravity does that work that's the same as like people try to get into caves. They're like, I can get into this cave. And then they get stuck. And then they're just stuck in the cave. And it's like, well, you're dead. Dude, there's a video of a guy who was like, I thought this was going to be a bigger hole than it was.

So I'm stuck in here. And it's like, bro, what? What made you think to do that? No, I would I would never go in a cave never You couldn't pay me I was very fortunate enough to do a thing For CD Projekt which was in a mine

It was an event in a mine It was like Thousands of feet below the earth But in a huge mine shaft that was open And felt like you were kind of in a building rather than a mine But every once in a While I would have Like a minor panic

Attack I'd have to close my eyes and Just sit there quietly and just like Refocus cause Admittedly you realize Oh no I'm not in a building there is no outside There is one Elevator shaft that got me here And it is

terrifying. Like when you get, but when you're down in it, it's like a world famous mine. There's like banquet halls and like places to film and like beautiful places to explore and like natural water. Like it's gorgeous. But also you are

a half a mile beneath, like I don't know how far down you are very far down oh yeah and there is no out there's one way out and if you ain't going that way you know and so it starts to hit you after a while like oh no I am I am beneath the earth

oh no I hate this and so you just had to like yeah there's a lot of times during that that few days where I was just like find a chair close my my eyes, don't think. That is, I would be freaked out. Yeah. I don't like that. But there was like tours and kids.

There were parts where it was fun, where everything seemed fine. But then there was parts where it was like, I'm alone in a cavern. And there's nothing here. I think I just came in. In a second. Yeah. It's very bizarre. But I had to refocus and be like, okay, it's been here for hundreds of years and nothing's

came. It's fine. I'm worrying about things that are not going to happen. Stop it, Jesse. But there'd be moments where it'd be like, you hear a weird noise and you're like, I don't know what that was. And I have never been here before. And that's uncomfortable. But then you had to work through it.

Yeah. So really, the moral of the story is don't try to do anything dangerous. Right. That's the moral. And if you are, remember gravity has your back. Exactly. Yeah. It'll get you down to the ground. Don't worry. A dog is an

animal. Yep. And animals are dogs. Alright! That's it for us. Thanks so much for listening and watching. I'm enjoying this podcast. Crendor, hit up the socials.
