Recording! Hit me! Wake your ass up. It's Gax and Crandall in the morning. Wake your ass up. It's Gax and Crandall in the morning. Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Gax and Crandall in the morning. Woo.

Oh, my goodness. Were you to go across the room or are you coming from across the room? Woo. Are you still across the room? No, I'm just yelling into the ceiling. I'm standing right now. It's a good thing you're not in an apartment and no one lives above you, or else that would be awkward.

That's true. I'm standing right now, so I got more energy. Ooh, you're standing desk this thing, huh? Yeah, partially because my neck hurts. It doesn't hurt. It's irritated it's a whole story are you alright?

I feel like you were last week you were like you gotta take care of yourself you gotta do these neck exercises which I have been doing to take care of my neck and now today you're like bro

yeah bro I'm not good what happened to you? I swear to god, this shit sucks. All right. This is dumb. Getting old is dumb. All right.

So pretty much I was like, I was doing some like lat pulldowns, doing some stuff. And I did like a bunch and I got a little like woozy. And I was like, that's a little weird. But I've had that happen. Usually when I like tweak my neck, I'll got a little like woozy. And I was like, that's a little weird. But I've had that happen. Usually when I like tweak my neck, I'll get a little like whoop. But it always freaks me out because it's my neck. So I'm like, am I dying? Bro, that doesn't seem good at all.

Well, I'll do like cardio. I'll just work it out. Then I get a little woozy. That seems dangerous. Well, I do like cardio. I'm fine. I do other stuff. I'm fine.

So I'm not like, well, I talked to my physical therapist and my doctor. And they're like, well, what it sounds my physical therapist and my doctor and they're like, well, what it sounds like is whenever you get that type of thing, your muscles are like tensing up from like the aggravation of her. And it's compressing like a nerve. And so I was like, yeah,

that makes sense. Or it's like a pinched nerve or it's like, uh, your Vegas nerve, like the bunch of stuff. So I'm like, all right, great.

So then, uh, I aggravated it. Real quick question. There's such a thing as a vagus nerve? Yeah, your vagus nerve. What the hell is that? Your vagus nerve is the thing where you don't have people like tense up really hard. They'll like pass out. No.

Wait, what? I've never heard of tensing up so hard I pass out. Yeah, that's a thing. So let's do the vagus nerve, also known as the vagal nerves, are the main nerves of your parasympathetic nervous system. The system controls specific body functions such as your digestion, heart rate, and immune system. The vagus nerve.

Yeah. I feel like it would be like a, like that should be the fun nerve. What happens when the vagus nerve stays in the vegas nerve yeah i feel like it'd be like a like that should be the fun nerve what happens in the vegas nerve stays in the vegas nerve you know yeah it should be the fun there it doesn't sound fun at all um it can also like anxiety can affect it all like you know stress all your your uh where is it located where's this magic nerve located it's literally like your spot like your entire from your head down to your looking up like there you just look at pictures right oh it's not it's not spelled vegas oh it's like three it's right through your neck yeah b-a-g-u-s And so... Okay. Yeah, it goes right through your neck.

It kind of, in a funny way, looks like internal headphones. I'm looking at it. It goes up to where your ear is, and then all the way down your neck, and into kind of like down in the middle of your body. And yeah, it kind of looks like if you're wearing internal internal wired headphones yeah so i was like fantastic so i've had this like act up before this isn't like a new thing it's not like it's randomly happening i'm like dying like i've had this happen like years ago usually you know something happens and then i'm like uh and then you know the longest it lasted

was like it was like a a week or two of irritation. I'm not like at a pass out. It's just a little like. Can I ask you a question? What? Broseph. Broham. Yep.

Do you think you have a damaged vagus nerve? Because one of the very first things I saw when I went to six mind-blowing facts about the vagus nerve. Number five, damage to the vagus nerve can cause digestive issues. Yeah, but a lot of things can cause digestive issues as well. Anxiety can cause digestive issues. Well, I've literally

talked to my doctors. Chronic inflammation? Listen, I'm already a hypochondriac. This is probably going to be like... Overreaction can cause fainting? I haven't fainted. Not yet. Do you have epileptic seizures?

No. Is that because it's overstimulated? Because stimulating the vagus nerve can help reduce epileptic seizures. I don't know. Listen. I'm just WebMDing you with just the worst shit it really is and there's gonna be some guy like oh this is the worst thing crendor you're gonna die all right listen all it is i go to my my doctor they're like yeah it sounds like be like nerve compression

it's probably from all your muscles like tensing up pressing on it because it always happens when i like okay there's like a there's a theme here it's like whenever i tweak my neck or like do something and that like you know how like if you uh tweak something in your back or your heart like the muscles tense up to protect the nerve or whatever every time i get a massage from someone and they do it too hard that is me yes yeah so it's like that but in my neck so essentially the neck's like oh and it tightens up and then it presses on the nerve. And so what happens is, I'm like, okay. So I was like feeling a little better.

I was like, hey, I'm slowly getting better. And then I tweaked my neck again. And then I got what back now it was. I was like, are you kidding me? I don't know how... Like, you don't seem to have, like, downtime. No. There's no downtime on the Crendor Health adventure. Like, you don't seem to have like downtime. No, there's no downtime on the Crandor health adventure.

You don't have a moment where you're just like, I had a good two or three weeks there where nothing bad happened. You always go from one traumatic injury to another. Yeah. Here's the thing. They always get better. And then another part of the body freaks out. And then, well, I asked Dr. John, too.

I was like, Dr. John, is this crazy? And he's like, no, there's, like, a bunch of reasons. I was like, I don't know. It seems kind of scary. He's like, no, there's, like, a billion reasons. You're good. I mean, like, you have to trust Dr. John because he knows us. That's true.

And we know him in person. And, like, if we needed to take him out, we could. So we have a trust thing here. But also, it sounds like he's just saying shit. I mean, he is a doctor. Yeah, again, you got to trust him. But do we, though? I feel like my diagnosis of inflammation of the vagus nerve is much more accurate.

Maybe I unlocked the secret. You did Google it. Yeah, I did Google it. It was the first link. You know what? Dr. John didn't. My real doctor didn't. And my physical therapist didn't. None of them Googled it. Maybe I care more about you than they do.

Maybe you should think about that. Yeah. So, I go back to my physical therapy this week, so she's going to, like, test stuff and everything. And they're like, if it doesn't get better, we can do an MRI. Ask her about the vagus nerve stuff. We've already talked about the vagus nerve. I'll be like, is my vagus nerve damaged?

I'll ask her directly. Yes, yes. We need an answer. I need an answer i need i need an answer um we need dr john to also give his opinion yeah dr john is crendor's vegas nerve damaged yes so uh and it's uh you know i get the old like tingling that goes down like my arm and my fingers but that got better today. It's not as bad. It's like it healed up a bit. But apparently that's also, like, a pinch nerve

thing that can happen. Now, how are you pinching nerves? Do you not have, like, enough cartilage? I don't know. I mean, people pinch nerves all the time. Sure, sure, sure. I just don't. You can tell I have zero medical knowledge. Like, you know, the only medical knowledge I know either comes from things that have happened to other friends or watching medical dramas on TV.

You're literally the guy that started drinking a gallon of water because you saw it on TikTok. You know what? That was a lie. Can I tell you? That was a mistake i immediately was called out because i guess i didn't i don't know the whole story and now i do and i know that i've already failed that within day one of trying because apparently it is more than just drinking water it is straight up like one follow a diet no alcohol no cheats number two two 45 minute workouts a day

one has to be outside three drink a gallon of water four read 10 pages of non-fiction five take progress pictures if you fail at anything start over so i just watched a video that was only about drinking the water So my assumption was This was some stupid Drink water for 75 days I can do that, that sounds fun I'll challenge myself to this Apparently I failed before I started So there you go

You know, it's better to fail before you get going It really is Saves you a lot of time Once I realized Thank you to everyone last week Who was like fail before you get going. It really is. It saves you a lot of time. Once I realized that, you know, thank you to everyone last week. It was like, no,

dude, you aren't doing it right. I was like, oh, well, if I'm not doing it right, then I don't have to do it at all. Okay.

Uh, I mean, I understand the point of a challenge to do a thing to see if you can do it, but I don't understand. I guess the goal of this is to like make yourself into like Marvel movie strong. Cause this whole like follow a diet, no alcohol.

So you're already like taking out anything that can make your diet fun. Two 45 minute workouts. One has to be outside. Well, why does one have to be outside? Yeah. That's just forcing people. What if it's raining?

You mean I got to go on the rain? No, I'm already out of that. Then drink a gallon of water. So now I gotta do two 45 minute workouts filled with pee. Nah, I ain't gonna do that. Read 10 pages a day. If I have a job that's 8 hours and I need 8 hours of sleep, that is 16

hours plus at least 2 hours for working out. So now we're at 18. And so I have six hours for myself. And in those six hours, I'm reading books and taking progress pics. I have no time for family or friends at this point. And then I'm suffering because I can't drink my way through this terrible

diet. Well, I mean, on the bright side, I don't know. This sucks. Yeah, I wouldn't do that. But you know what?

I did see something absolutely beautiful the other day at the crazy intersection. So it was the first time I didn't see anything. Yeah, so this was great. So I'm at the intersection, and it's raining outside. It's been raining the last, I don't know, four days now. I think it finally stopped, but it's going to rain tonight again. And there was a dude who the best way I can describe him was the most French dude in all of France. But just in LA.

I don't know how else to describe. He looked like he was from France. His facial structure was like that of every like, oh, French dude who ever lived. Right. He was literally carrying a bottle of wine and he was in an outfit that looked like he should have been like on a fashion runway somewhere.

Except it's raining, but it was slightly drizzling at the time. And he's just standing there. He has headphones in and he is dancing to something. I don't know what, but he's like doing a conga and he's doing like a sidestep thing. And he's just dancing around in the rain. And I sat there like,

this guy is having the best damn day. I don't know what's going on in his head. I don't know where he's just dancing around in the rain. And I sat there like, this guy is having the best damn day. I don't know what's going on in his head. I don't know where he's going, what he's doing, where he came from, but he is having a day. He looks so amazing. And I watched this guy like, he's like going across the crosswalk, doing a little dance. He's like going across the crosswalk, doing a little dance. And I was like, you know, I want to have a day like that where I can just have a little dance and listen to my stupid music and just forget about everything. And as I'm thinking that, this pickup truck, which by the way, shout out to pickup trucks in LA.

I do not understand why they're here. There's no parking for them, but they take up like two spots anyway because F it. This pickup truck honks at this dude. Without breaking his stride, he turns, looks at this guy, and while dancing, flips him the bird. Still dancing. Still dancing. And I was like, this guy is my hero. I don't know who this dude is. He's like, da-da-da-da-da-da, but like flipping him off.

And the guy in the pickup truck is like, meh-meh, trying to get him to cross faster. Meanwhile, we, there's no turn on right at this intersection. And this dude clearly is, because I'm not turning on right, he has gotten to the left-hand lane and wants to cross and turn right because I'm not turning on right in a no-turn right lane. So, honking at this French guy. The French guy finally makes the cross and he just pulls out in front of me and I was like this asshole. So

light goes green. I turn. I'm now at the next light with him. So he clearly gained no time at all. And then we get to the next light. light we're there together and he keeps looking over at me like i'm gonna do something and because i'm kind of an asshole when i'm in a car i just stared at him smiling i didn't do anything else i just looked at him the entire time with this stupid grin on my face and he kept looking at me

and i'm like looking back at the road and then when the light would go green like pull out in front of me and i just you know slow and steady get to the next red light and i'd be right beside him again and i'd slow turn just smile at him and he's looking at me getting more mad and finally he peels out and like goes down a side street i think to try to avoid traffic because we kept getting red lights and I never saw him again but I was like you know what I did find my happiness today that Frenchman taught me a lesson that sometimes

you gotta find happiness in the most unexpected places and watching that guy lose his mind because he kept trying to like drive faster than me and I'd always pull up right next to him like oh hey it was great at a fun moment it was beautiful trying to drive faster than me and I'd always pull up right next to him like, oh hey. It was great. I had a fun moment. It was beautiful.

I learned a lot that day from that crosswalk. I mean, at least you're learning something from the crosswalk now instead of just getting stories from it. I mean, I still got a story so I guess that happens. That's true. It's a nice story. Yeah, nothing crazy happened. It was just, you know, got to experience a man get angry for no reason. And I was like, why are you angry, bro?

And it made him more angry. So that's like me talking to my Vegas. It's like, dude, you got to calm down. It's like, no, I ain't calming down for shit. Oh my God, speaking of... So, okay. I forgot to mention, this is a similar feeling I've gotten after I was playing League of Legends. So, I think it's a stress anxiety thing as well.

Because, as you know, this might surprise you, I'm an anxious person. I had not heard that. Yeah, it might blow your mind. But I have very high anxiety. Right, right. Also from hypochondria. So this entire conversation, people commenting about it will probably give me even worse symptoms.

But, yeah, I used to get it playing League. And you know what happens when I play League? I get the adrenaline sweats. I start, like, I stop breathing while I'm playing, so I'm, like, focused. And then usually after, like, a few hours of League, I would just be like, oh, my God. And at first I thought it was my blood pressure, because I was like, oh, my God. And I checked it, but it was, like, normal. It was, like, slightly high, but nothing crazy.

And so now I'm starting to think it's just, it's all related to like anxiety and stuff. Apparently it's a thing that can happen. Because it's like your fight or flight essentially goes crazy. From League? Yeah. I don't think you know how competitive I get. I mean, that is a reason why I don't play a lot of PvP games anymore.

Because I am hyper-competitive when it comes to stuff like that. But I also am lazy, so I don't put in the time to do it. So I will be really competitive, not study up on the newest meta and be angry when I lose. And be like, just don't pick up my phone or I'm going to hate it! So, yeah, I don't do that anymore. That's why I stopped playing. Because I was like, this isn't worth it, man. Just getting

physical symptoms from playing League of Legends, I'm like, nah, I'm good. So you'd play, and then what would happen? Usually my jaw would be tight, like from teeth grinding. But I wasn't grinding, I was just clenching. And then I'd just feel a little woozy kind of like similar to how what i've had with this stuff so i think it is kind of similar with anxiety and stress do you think it's your vagus nerve i think a lot

of things just tie into your vagus nerve uh so you know i get the similar type of feeling where it's like i'm not gonna pass out but you're a little like a little like almost like a vertigo you know what i mean okay yeah i know exactly ever had vertigo i have yes oh i remember i actually had vertigo for two weeks maybe it was kind of like what i have now but a little worse from playing spyro what yeah it messed with my it messed with something because i played spyro yeah i played it for like five hours and i started getting like kind of nauseous near the end of it and i was like oh and then i realized i was like i'm like kind of dizzy where i was like i'm not like gonna fall over but i'm just a little like and it lasted like two weeks i went to the doctor they're like yeah it sounds like vertigo i went to the eye doctor because listen again hypochondria i went to the doctor they're like yeah it sounds like vertigo i went to the eye doctor listen again hypochondriac i went to the eye doctor the normal doctor another doctor and

they're like yeah vertigo and they're like and they're like you can do these like exercises but eventually it'll just go away or you just gotta wait and it took like two weeks but it went away dude what i did so like any person would i was like you know what I have to finish Spyro and so I had to play the final like 30 minutes and I remember I tried playing it and I started getting nauseous again and I was like oh I was like it's doing it to me again it like for some reason the way the camera moves in Spyro like messed me up I've never had that happen although I guess VR VR yeah it's probably the closest other thing but that's and that's the only game that's happened that's why with this with all

this like i wouldn't have this happen when i would do cardio and i wouldn't have it happen when i did uh uh what do you call like physical therapy because i was she'd be like does this recreate any symptoms i'm like no but it would always be when i was doing like heavier lifting so i think when i lift heavy and i'm not breathing properly you're just like straining you know what i mean and so i think that that does it and then it's getting old sucks this is stupid you know you see all the kids on the twitch on the youtube having fun they're just like oh you know and you're just like man i remember when i used to be that, you know, that's because they're kids. You know, we are not we are not youngins no more.

We're actual real ass adults. And here's the thing. Some of y'all think that affects me. It doesn't. Age has not affected me one bit. I'm still a complete mess. But I was a mess before that. So I've just grown into my mess.

I'm a prime mess right now. I think that's all you can do. You gotta grow into your mess. Yeah, that's it. At some point in your life, you realize you can't defeat the mess, so you must become the mess. The mess is kind of like a Sith. You know, I've always identified as a sith i've always said i would be the bad guy that's what happens you start going through it you know you start getting

all the thing he's like you know what i'll become a sith screw it that's how it happens even like growing up i always like playing with the like cool villain action figures. So I always thought they just looked cooler. They are cooler. That's the thing. They don't just look cooler. They are cooler. It's why literally until I started watching the show Andor, for the first time, I was like, oh, I kind of identify with the good guys now. Because that show made me feel like, oh, damn, these guys are going through some stuff.

Until the year 2022, I was like, I just want to be an Imperial Stormtrooper. Because their armor looks cool. I'm like, oh, no, they're bad guys. Oh, no. I mean, yeah, you think about it. You look at all the villains in Star Wars. You've got Darth Maul. He's got red paint and horns coming out of his head.

That guy looks cool as shit. Yeah. You've got Boba Fett. He's got that cool bounty hunter outfit. You've got Darth Vader. There's the Emperor who's all old, but he can kill anybody with his lightning. Who's got lightning hands. Yeah, that shit's cool as hell.

Then you go to the other side. It's like, nah, they're just in a robe with a lightsaber. Yeah, they've got a brown robe like cool dudes like they all got the only cool ones like yoda because he's the weird short little green man hell yeah yoda's the best he's like i'm short and green i am like yeah this guy is cool as shit i love him yeah and that's why when i play things like warhammer and stuff even on my Warhammer they're all like the fun, crazy Skaven or Lizardmen or the Orcs or all this stuff.

It's like, don't you want to play the Order with the humans? I'm like, that's boring. That's boring. I don't want to do that. And who does? That's the thing. Who does? Yeah. I always think it's funny when people will talk about,

speaking of Warhammer, people talk about like, I love playing as the Astartes in the Empire, and oh, I like being space elves, and I like being like this. I'm like, yeah, but have you ever thought about Chaos? Yeah, that's like, I've been reading about Gitz lore, because I got really into Gitz. Little tiny gob little tiny goblin boys yeah little goblins they got the squigs there's a there's squig what are they called so there's like squig riders or

squig hoppers and the way they're essentially the goblin cavalry but they're not like you know actual cavalry that are like gather the horses they literally just grab on the squigs and ride them around and just hold on for life and hope the squig like eat stuff and they like swing around but most of the time you get eaten and die or you just die in battle so if you survive two battles the squig or the the goblins riding the squigs become so like full of themselves that they start thinking of themselves as like knights and so they start wearing knight armor and they become boingrot bounders and they wear a knight helmet names the british i'm sure yeah they start wearing a knight helmet in the shape of the moon because they're like, no squig would eat the moon, probably.

So it's just like goofy lore like that. I love it. I was reading something the other day because I was like, this sounds like the most Krendor shit I've ever heard. Where in 40k, I guess there's a cannon that exists that orcs use to shoot goblins behind enemy lines, except it doesn't fire them through the air. It opens a portal through the warp, through space-time, into the chaos realm, and then a portal opens up on the other side, and the goblins are supposed to come through it. Except 90% of the time, it never works correctly. Sometimes the goblins go through the warp and come out like terrible monsters. Sometimes they go through and come out just puddles of blood.

Like it sprays blood on the enemy. Sometimes the portal opens in like a person on the other side. So suddenly you're just a dude standing there and then 50 goblins pop out of you. It sounds insane. I love that kind of stuff. I love the goofy lore like that. It should be goofy because it's like

look at what we're, like, look at the game you're playing. It's a bunch of, like, nerd burgers sitting there measuring, taping stuff and rolling 50 die. Like, it should be goofy and fun. Yeah. It's about having a goofy fun time. That's kind of what it was born to be

anyway back in the day. That's why if you look at the old Warhammer stuff, it's all goofy looking too. Yeah. I mean, that's it's one of those problems with fandom where people start getting really serious about it. It's one of the reasons why I had to step back from Star Wars. People got crazy and I'm like, I just

I don't care as much. Yeah. It's just there it's like have fun but some people they're like my fun is the seriousness of the topic. It's like alright. And then if you didn't like a thing then it became like heretic.

Yeah. I'm just having a good time. I was trying to have fun and you know, I didn't enjoy that thing. Well, then it's your fault. Okay. So yeah, I don't know. It's I have a good time

doing all my Warhammer stuff and yeah, you know, it helps take my mind off all my pain. I'm glad. I'm glad it does. You know what? Something has to. Exactly.

By the way, I don't think you ever did the British breakfast thing I did. What was the British breakfast thing? It was like a year ago. I made the British breakfast by I did. What was the British breakfast thing? It was like a year ago. I was like, I made the British breakfast by myself. You definitely did. And then I said, you should do it. And you were like, yeah, I'm going to do it. You never did.

I never did do that. You're right. You're right. So you made a breakfast. Yeah, the British breakfast. But what if I don't want... I'm going to England soon. What if I just eat one there? Not the same. You gotta make it yourself.

You sound like Apple Robot. Crenzor. Crenzor. But it has been raining nonstop here, so I'm over it already. Dude, I love rain. Oh, you would not like L.A. rain. It is. That's true. i don't know if i'd like la rain one day it started hailing and i was thankful that the rain stopped i didn't think

for a minute that hail probably was worse i was just like oh thank god the rain stopped oh it's been it's been speaking of which hold on weather.com even though i know you're about to go here in a minute what is the vibe? I need to know Is it really going to rain again Tonight? Yeah, later tonight it's going to rain And then It's been raining the last five

Five days, five or four It's blending together honestly It's going to Yeah, so it's cloudy, cloudy, cloudy, cloudy And then it hits like 1 a.m. Then it's going to start raining again all day tomorrow. Cool. So cool.

And then the morning Tuesday. And then night Tuesday. What is happening right now? All right, you know what? I'm just going to not look at that anymore and pretend everything's fine. Anyway, let's go to weather. Weather. Well, we will go to, let's go let's go to weather weather well we will go to let's see somebody says we should do a weather request for their hometown of lusdalsweden yep yep yep uh let's see Sweden

we have a neat street art installation called Artscape 2019 for example the cinema has art of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars painted on the side what's the name of this town like the real name of this town here you go you can pronounce it thank you

I was about to say I don't know pronunciation I literally typed in these Here you go. You can pronounce it. Thank you. I was about to say, I don't know that... Pronounce... ...the Asian. I literally typed in these. Oh, hold on. There is something here. Youstall. Uh.

Youstall. Youstall. Youstall. Youstall. In Youstall. Youstall. Uh, 43 degrees Fahrenheit, sun and clouds, uh you know looking uh it's actually about the same as what it is here uh we got 81 percent humidity 30.23 inches of pressure 10 mile

visibility winds 8 miles an hour dew point 32 uv index 0 of 10 with a first quarter moon phase 7 0 5 a.m sunrise 5 12 p.m sun set uh taking a look at the 10 day we got 41 degrees and cloudy on tuesday wednesday partly cloudy 43 thursday is 41 mostly cloudy friday 37 partly cloudy saturday 31 partly cloudy sunday 27 partly cloudy monday 26 partly cloudy. Saturday, 31, partly cloudy. Sunday, 27, partly cloudy. Monday, 26, partly cloudy. Just a lot of clouds and a lot of colder weather, as you would expect in Sweden. Yeah, but, like, what's going on in old Ustall? Ustall? What's happening over there? It's a relatively small...

I'm, like, blown away. Again, how did someone in Ustall, which is near nothing as far as i can tell yeah how did you come across our show is it because there was so little to do that you listened to this podcast because you're like well it's better than doing nothing or is do we have a huge swedish audience in which case should the swedish government be flying us out there to live a life of luxury in Sweden? Just a question I have. We do have a lot of Swedish listeners. We do. It's a valid question.

I'm more impressed that this town, as far as I can tell, has five restaurants, a lot of grocery stores, but five restaurants, one of them being a subway. That's actually very funny. I found the pizzeria, as one does. I found a place that looks like a coffee shop, but it is clearly a shack in the middle of the woods. I don't know how much I like that. You're still grilling. This place is called you're still grilling. You're still grilling.

You're still grilling. I used to grill and now I'm still a grill. It looks like just a place to get the fries and like stuff. Burgers and things and chicken sandwiches, but like, okay. I'm looking at Yarns Vox Pizzerian. Yeah, no, I

see that. I see that. Yarns Vox. I like the fact that they've got like a big whatever that damn thing's called oh the kebab yeah it's got like a kebab thing yeah I like that yeah that's pretty neat I like that

but you can get kebab pizza now that's probably where it's at that's that's a lot oh that's probably where it's at but yeah I mean looking around it must be the location because it seems like it's at. But yeah, I mean, looking around, it must be the location because it seems like it's kind of, again,

like it has a middle America vibe. It does. Some of these restaurants look like just a dude's home. Yeah, I see that. But a lot just nicer.

I gotta know. Tell us what it's like to live here. Yeah. Maybe there's someone else that lives here too. knows what's the vibe what's the this place is like an old barn what the that's what i'm saying you see this one look at this i absolutely saw this one yes this is one of the ones that i looked at and was like, what is this place? So neat. This place actually looks

like really fun, but it does look like just a random barn where like an old lady makes you coffee. Yes, 100%. But you can't hate on the fact that one of the dish things they have, maybe this is what it's called. I don't know. It is

looks like it's hot chocolate plus ice cream plus whipped cream plus something that looks like an apple and oat dish. Big fan. It's got a population of 6,230. Interesting. It feels like a town where everyone knows everyone then. Yeah, it does seem like it has that feel to it. Like if you show up, they're going to who are you i don't know my apologies to everyone it's probably not how anyone there sounds yeah yeah it looks like an old theater or something

and then they made a cafe there yeah okay fascinating yeah that's the weather all right Yeah. Okay. Fascinating. It is pretty. And that's the weather. All right, let's go to sports. Sports. Welcome to the sports desk. Sports. So, big sports stuff happening. We got the NBA starting up again.

After the All-Star break, you got the Celtics, Bucs, 76ers, Cavs, Nets, and Knicks in the top six. And then you got the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Kings, Suns, Clippers, Mavs all in the top six in the West. Over in the NHL, you got the Bruins up top. You got the Hurricanes up top. You got the Stars up top. And you got the Golden

Knights up top as they start to close out their season as well in the final stretch before the playoffs. We've also got baseball, spring training starting up again. So baseball's back. Get ready. I was actually watching some spring training baseball, and you know what?

They made some good additions. Which was? They added a pitch clock. Wait, what? So now you have to sit there and watch the time is that wait for a guy to like scratch his balls and stuff no so like it's uh well technically but so now it's essentially like the basketball shot clock right so when you get the ball yeah he can't just stay in there and be like no i don't want to pitch that no i don't want to pitch that uh hold on let me step off the mound look around like now it's like you can't just stay in there and be like no i don't want to pitch that no i don't want to pitch that uh hold on let me step off the mound look around like now it's like you can't psych the guy out there you got like 20 seconds or something to pitch the ball so you get it you gotta figure

out what you're doing and then pitch and if you don't you get an automatic ball so it's uh it made the game like when i was watching it normally i would be like watching and like doing something else wherever i was like this is going by pretty fast like they were actually at a good pace and i was like you know what baseball did something good i gotta say yeah like uh big leagues gotta start doing that yeah because that would speed up a game significantly yeah because like you look at all the other sports it was like basketball takes like two and a half hours. You got like football takes like three hours. Baseball, I swear, it's like four or five hours.

It's a day experience. Yeah. If you're going to a game, that's like your day. You're done. Yeah. And then they've also made the bases slightly bigger, so it's easier to like steal bases. And they also got rid of the shift, the bases slightly bigger, so it's easier to steal bases. And

they also got rid of the shift, which was a really dumb thing that allowed defenses to stack one side and the second baseman be playing in the outfield. It was stupid, so they got rid of that. Oh, I remember that shit. Yeah. It was dumb.

I'm liking it. You know what? Every once in a while, sports should just change their shit up. Yeah. Just take some time to redo the rules, and I'll be real. If football had more robots in it, more people would watch, but no one listens to us. Yeah, I agree.

If they took all those robots they put in that robot fighting arena, but then just put them on the field so each team had one robot, think about it. Yep. There goes his leg, Johnson, shredded up by the shredder. He should have known it was in the name. Yeah, so that's pretty neat and then uh they don't look now but we're only like a few weeks away from march madness the little college i believe that's a thing yeah no we're we're in the final days of february it's

gonna be march in like three days well good news everyone your chicken wings are about to be on sale. Everyone's going to get a good deal on wings. Yep. And that is sports. All right. What's our fact of the day? Fact of the day. All right. here we go. Fact of the day.

Great Britain once had a number where you can report rogue traffic cones. I believe that. Because something about that seems out of order. And I know the British love order. That's like their vibe. They love it. Britain launched a hotline in 1992 to improve public services. However, this policy was mocked for being pointless and a waste of government funds.

Yeah, that checks out. I'm going to throw in another one because I was like, what? Only owning one guinea pig is illegal in Switzerland. Only owning one? So if I have two, fine. Yes. Now, why on earth is that? So it says guinea pigs are herd animals and therefore become severely depressed when alone.

Switzerland considered only allowing one illegal to practice social rights for animals. That's actually very sweet. In like a weird, messed up way, it's very sweet. Yeah, because otherwise they're going to be, you know, they're going to be lonely. You don't want to be a dick, yeah. I get that. That's, again, very, that's very sweet. I love that.

Yeah. Well, there's your facts of the day. All right. What's our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day. So there's this one I saw, but I think this other one's more of an us news story. Well, there's like two one was

i love that one is a more of an us story right okay so it was parents on tiktok draw instant backlash for potentially dangerous disney hack and then tiktok parents apologize for video showing how to sneak toddler on Disney rides. So learned all about that. Oh, they're breaking the law. Right, right, right, right, right. Yeah. But now we have mysterious metal sphere washes up on Japanese beach, sparking investigation.

I mean, I like that. That's interesting. Yeah. Okay. All right. We got two. I'll take two. All right.

Well, which one do you want to start with oh uh let's start with let's start with disney because that seems more goofy yeah yeah definitely more goofy here yeah uh we're just gonna go into the the follow-up story uh so they apologize for sneaking toddler onto dis rides. The Florida family, who went viral for a TikTok video that showed how to make their toddler son meet the height requirements for certain thrill rides, is now apologizing for the shoe hack. The family has also removed all videos referencing the hack and saying, quote, with influence comes responsibility. Barf, bro. It all started with influence. Influence. Ty and Haley Kelly posted a video where they glued flip-flop bottoms to their son's shoes

so he'd meet the 38-inch height requirement. Although Ty Kelly described the shoe gluing as the ultimate theme park hack, others weren't impressed. As one YouTuber comment noted about a youtube video this or as they see they seem to care more about a youtube video than their child's safety uh they now claim the it was fake so they claim everything was fake yeah um no that's that's Yeah that wasn't fake They just thought they were like really cool

That's the problem Social media is people who think What they're doing is really cool and then sharing it And realizing that it's illegal You know what I mean like it's like that guy Who posted on TikTok him Illegally sleeping In a storage unit

Then detailing how he gets power and water into his unit and showing it all on film. Like, look at this cool thing I'm doing. It's like, bro, you literally gave them evidence. What are you doing?

Yeah. Um, they said that they hope their followers give them a chance to prove that we love our children and take their responsibility as influencers seriously. Stop. Oh my god. And then they have the classic video of them on a couch being like, guys,

we're so sorry that this happened. We're so sorry that you caught us. We thought it would be okay, you know, and we need to keep doing this to make money so please forgive us please forgive us we need money

yeah so that's that that's so dumb I am like just disappointed on the behalf of everyone had to watch that video just sit there and pretend like these guys are awesome just disappointed on the behalf of everyone had to watch that video. Just sit there and pretend like these guys are awesome.

Nah. Nah. That is. We have so much powers, influencers. We need to get out of here. That is some that's some sort of mental something. That is like It's like they're doing a little

humble brag and they're like we shouldn't have done this we know that we have so much power and so much responsibility for being so awesome and giant on the internet it's very obvious where their priorities are people who are giving them shit are correct because it was less about the kid

and the danger that kid would have been in being too small for the ride. There's a reason. They have rules. And they're like, we're so sorry we didn't think about the repercussions of posting this on the internet. Yeah. Not like we shouldn't have done it.

We shouldn't have posted about it. We're so sorry. They didn't even register the thought of like, hmm, this might be dangerous for our child. No, just, dude, this made a great video. Yeah, and the fact that like, it was fake. Fake doesn't matter because you're telling everyone on the internet that this is a trick they can do a hack to get their kid on a ride. Yeah.

So, yeah. You're telling other people to do it like we lied who wants you to try it like okay? So that's that now Mysterious metal sphere washes up on Japanese Beach sparking investigation The Godzilla egg It has been dubbed the Godzilla Egg. Well, that's funny, but also probably racist. It probably is. Because it's just a metal sphere in Japan.

But everyone's like, Godzilla Egg. Like, okay. All right. Just weeks after the military shot down Chinese spy balloon off the Carolina coast, a cryptic metal ball is washed ashore at Enshu Beach in the city of Hamamatsu on Japan's Pacific coast. The rusty orange-tinted sphere, dubbed Godzilla Egg according to a BBC Tokyo correspondent, gained worldwide interest. Yep. The elusive thingy is about five feet in diameter and has two raised handles indicating that can it can be hooked onto something else the call to authorities prompted police and even a bomb squad to investigate the object out of fear may be a stray mine the guardian said experts eventually deemed

that the objects safe after x-rays found it was hollow the guardian also noted that there was no indicator that it was part of any espionage operation from North Korea or China. And the ball has been removed from the beach. Although the Dragon Ball Z-like figure is getting a ton of media attention. One local who regularly runs on Enshu Beach told public broadcaster NHK that it's been sitting out there for a while. It's been there for months, he said. I tried to push it, but it wouldn't budge. He probably shouldn't do that.

I don't know. Yeah, probably not. Despite all this, police have not yet identified what the object is, which has some on social media questioning why authorities are staying quiet. BBC reported, based on a video posted of the sphere by NHK on Twitter, social media users believe it's merely a ball buoy. Others have more whimsical ideas. It does look like that, though. It does look like just some like, yeah. Yeah, it does.

The civil engineering office said it considers it to be a foreign-made buoy. considers it to be a foreign-made buoy. Mark Inall, an oceanographer as the Scottish Association for Marine Science told BBC that although he knew instantly it was a buoy, he understood why people might confuse it for a World War II mine. But those would have spikes sticking out of them, he said.

I mean, he's not wrong, but also that's really funny that it's like, look, it's the exact same thing, except those would have spikes and this doesn't have spikes yeah so yeah that's some fun news
