Starting point is 00:00:00 Today's episode is brought to you by MeUndies. MeUndies are the undies that I have on me. Also today, we're brought to you by ButcherBox. ButcherBox is the food that I want inside of me. Now let's jump into this podcast. Hello everybody, it's time for Ghost on Trend Dog. Ghost on Trend Dog in the morning. In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. In 4-hour recording studio. Recording. Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of Cacks and Grendel in the morning! the money you were either the ghost of future past or the wind i'm not sure which why not both what's why not why not both good you know what good question when you really think about it
Starting point is 00:01:00 is the wind not just ghosts just don't say that maybe some guy out there who's like oh my god um yeah there yeah how you doing i'm doing good i wanted to bring up something because i feel like this is an ask the audience but i also want to get your vibe on this because i had a conversation earlier this week uh with a woman who right out the gate, I'm just going to say was very attractive. So if you're thinking to yourself, while I tell you this story, Jesse, why were you there so long doing this? That's, I mean, that's, that's why attractive people can get away with a lot.
Starting point is 00:01:41 It was earlier in the week. I had a bunch of stuff to get done. I was trying to rush through my day. I had a bunch of stuff planned. I had a meeting to go to at 11. And out of the blue, I just find myself in a conversation with, again, to specify and clarify, an insanely
Starting point is 00:01:56 attractive blonde woman. Just like model caliber. Gorgeous. Was she driving around watching you in her car? No, she was not. This was not that kind of interaction. This is one of those that just started as a friendly conversation and bloomed from there into what I'm about to tell you. So I have never met this person before in my life. I don't know anything about them.
Starting point is 00:02:20 I'm just doing small talk. And as we're small talking, the conversation continues to progress to the point where now it's getting, I don't know, kind of flirty, which admittedly caught me off guard. But again, obviously, I don't know this person. I have a meeting I have to go to at 11. I have a hard out of whatever this conversation is.
Starting point is 00:02:41 So the stakes for me are incredibly low. I'm just having a conversation. Right. And at some point during this small talk, I must have said something that to her registered as flirting. And she hit me with, boy, you are terrible at flirting.
Starting point is 00:02:59 And I'm like, what do you mean? And she's like, I clearly approached you to talk to you, but it doesn't seem like you're all that interested. And I was like, I wasn't aware this was that conversation. Now I'm like, all right, well, maybe I'll talk to this person a little bit longer than I probably should. You know what I mean? I'm like, hold on.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Is this attractive person flirting with me? So now I'm in this conversation with this woman and I'm trying to figure out her vibe. What's going on here? Because it's not every day, and I think most guys, almost all guys, in fact, I'm going to say all guys can agree with me on this, it's not every day that an incredibly attractive woman just strikes up a conversation with you and then gets a little upset that you're not flirting with her, And I'm like, what? So it was a shock to me. It was a shock to the system.
Starting point is 00:03:46 But also I'm in teacher mode slash streamer YouTuber mode where I'm like, play it safe, Cox. You don't know what this is. You don't know what this could be. You don't know if this is some sort of like thing. Be safe, right? So I'm not, of course, I'm not going to full flirt with a total stranger that i don't know
Starting point is 00:04:06 i'm just not gonna do that but she's saying and just said you seem like you suck at flirting and so the ego in me was like no you did not so now i'm caught up in this spider web and i of course i'm sticking around for a conversation and so she like, you've been here talking with me and you've yet to ask any questions about me. Like, I didn't know that's what I was supposed to be doing. I thought we were just having small talk at best. I was trying to get to know you. That was it.
Starting point is 00:04:38 And she's like, you're telling me that if a beautiful woman comes up to you and talks to you, you're not interested? And I'm like, what is happening right now? Am I being pranked? And Krendor, I just met this person. I don't know what the right questions would be. I'm not even necessarily trying to flirt. I'm just like, what?
Starting point is 00:05:02 And so I'm trying to wrap my mind around this entire conversation. And she's like, okay, okay. Imagine I am in a hallway somewhere and I approach you and I am looking as good as I look now. And I say, excuse me, sir. Can you show me where the vending machine is? What do you do? Like, what? What do you mean? vending machine is what do you do like what what do you mean she's like what do you do like well since i've never met you before i say oh uh the vending machine's over there or if i don't know i'll be like i guess i could help you find it she's like
Starting point is 00:05:36 wrong wrong jesse like what is what do you mean wrong she's like you're so bad at this you need a teacher someone to teach you how to flirt and now i'm like wait a minute why is this about me all of a sudden can you explain it to me and she has the audacity to be like why would i give away that secret if you don't know it that's your problem and if i tell you you'll just abuse the secret to go sleep with women. What the shit? All right, this person's crazy. Infuriated. But again, beautiful people, I guess,
Starting point is 00:06:10 get a little bit of slack because I was now so obsessed with figuring out what the hell all that meant. Like, what is it about the vending machine? Am I missing something? Is it the dress? Is it walking to the vending machine? What am I, in that scenario, what is it about the vending machine? Am I missing something? Is it the dress? Is it walking to the vending machine?
Starting point is 00:06:26 What am I in that scenario? What have I done incorrectly? That makes me not good at flirting. I can't figure this. I can't figure this out. She's like, well, all right. Imagine a beautiful woman like me comes up to you. I'm like, all right.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Already. She's like a little ego. Imagine a beautiful woman like me comes up to you. I'd say it's quite a bit. Imagine a super awesome, beautiful, really cool person comes up to you like myself. Yeah. And she's like, what do you do? And she describes the scenario with her in this outfit.
Starting point is 00:06:58 And I have this, you know, a perfect visual of what it is. It's one of those where her shoulder straps and everything are sort of down. So you can see your shoulders and her hair is up. It's very much like the standard prototypical. If you ask a sociologist or psychologist about flirting technique thing about how this woman is sort of opening up and presenting herself and being vulnerable to the man. It's that kind of BS. I know what the psychology of that is. She goes, oh, so you do know how to flirt. I'm like, no, I'm just not a creep.
Starting point is 00:07:33 I'm not going to just constantly be flirting with people because that's not who I am. I was like, I don't know if you understand this, but in this scenario, no matter who you are, if you're showing a little skin or asking me to take good event machine, whatever the case may be, I'm still not going to overtly flirt with you because I know nothing about you. You are just a random stranger and I'm being kind. Yeah. And she's like, well, that's probably why you're missing out on so many wonderful women. I was like, trust me, I know this. Like, you don't need to explain this to me. There are times where I meet someone and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:08:07 wow, she was amazing. But unless that person literally says, Jesse Cox, I want a relationship with you. I don't go for it because I'm not like, sorry, I'm not going to like get roasted by the internet for being a creep.
Starting point is 00:08:21 And even then there are some people who still do that. They're like, Jesse, I love you. And I'm like, the teacher in me is a little wary of this. And even then, there are some people who still do that. They're like, Jesse, I love you. And I'm like, the teacher in me is a little wary of this. And so, yeah, it's kind of tough. It's kind of
Starting point is 00:08:31 tough. Yeah. Well, this person also seems like that's all they're looking for, right? Because if not, they'd probably be in a relationship. Well, so we were talking and she was like, yeah, yeah i just you don't seem like the kind of guy who chases people like i'm not i will not chase you i have been enough
Starting point is 00:08:52 relationships to know that another one will come along i don't have to chase after a girl like i'll find someone who wants to be with me and we don't need to play games and i was like it seems to me like you love playing games and she she's like, what's wrong with that? I like when a man chases after me. It shows he desires me and wants me. When you don't chase someone like you do, women think that's a lack of interest. And I'm like, okay, but you realize that this whole
Starting point is 00:09:19 I like men to chase me kind of thing, they're chasing you not because they want to spend time with you and get to know you they want to have sex with you that's their objective you're being chased and when they get you i'm betting they often ditch and the reason why is because you busy playing all these games and no man no man wants to play games the rest of his life. I don't remember what she said, but it was straight up like an Andrew Tate talking point. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:09:51 hold up. You sound like Andrew Tate. And she's like, look, I know he's a creep, but he has said some really smart things. I was like, whoa! I was blown away. I was like, what do you mean he said some smart things? And she's like, look,
Starting point is 00:10:07 he can't be dumb. The man was a millionaire. I was like, the man got millions by literally kidnapping girls and making them do sex work in his home. He ran away to a foreign country to literally do that so he couldn't be prosecuted. And she's like, no, that didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:10:22 I was like, what? Most innocent people don't have to flee to foreign countries. Yeah. Typically, you know. So now I am either totally in this woman's spider web or my stubbornness refuses to budge. I have foregone thinking about the time and I'm just like, I have to reach this person. I've never met anyone like this. And I'm just like, I have to reach this person.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I've never met anyone like this. And I'm like, look, you may think all women like to be chased and hunted, but women are a spectrum just like men and our desires and needs and everyone's different. And what I'm into may not be what you are into. And like, that's fine. It doesn't mean I'm bad at flirting. I just don't flirt the way you want me to flirt. Like I've already been there in my twenties. I was in a relationship with a woman who was one of those, like, I need a man that constantly chased me. And once the relationship happens and you're in it, if you do anything else, but give her all the attention and continue to
Starting point is 00:11:20 try and chase her, she'll just find some other dude to chase her. And then just like, go off with that guy. Cause he'd be attention. That's's not a relationship i don't know what that is but i never want that again and i was like i don't have time for that shit and i put this out there to women is that like a tell me in the comments it on the discord wherever you gotta let me know because i was like this is insane this is well i think uh think the issue is that people, when they say that they go, this thing loves it. Like men like this. Women like the problem is that it's such a generic statement. It's essentially like gamers like this or people that watch movies.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Like there could be a lot of people like that. Doesn't mean everybody's like that. Plus, there's like varying degrees, I would say, of that. There's probably somebody who's like, you know, I like a bit of like a chase type thing where they're just like, no, I really want to be with you. And they're like, oh, that's nice. And that's like it. Like, that's all they want is like one little chase thing to be like, oh, he does like want to chase after me or whatever. And then they're fine.
Starting point is 00:12:21 But then there's people that are like, I need constant, to be constantly chased. Like, it's some crazy, like, this woman, right? That's the thing, is I was like, I don't think she understands, like, there are other people out there for me that are on my wavelength that, like, are chill as hell, and that's who
Starting point is 00:12:39 I'll end up with. I'm not at all, like, I don't need to chase someone. Like, it's not built into me. I've done that before, I'm not at all. Like I don't need to chase someone. Like I, it's not built into me. I've done that before. I did it in my twenties and every single time it ended terribly. I'm not going to do that anymore. And it's like the main reason is because they're not really caring about the person for the most part.
Starting point is 00:12:56 They just care about the chase part. Like that's what they want. It's like the adrenaline of it. And so, and she was like, well, there's your problem. You don't want to put in the effort for a relationship. I was like, of course I want to put in the effort for a relationship.
Starting point is 00:13:07 I want to find someone that loves me as much as I love them. And together we love each other, but we don't need to like fix each other. And we don't need to like chase after, we're just happy to be together. She's like, so you're looking for love? I'm like, yeah. And she's like, that's so cute. I was like, what? And I was like, and I was just like, I don't, here's the problem. I think you are like trying to neg me into pursuing you, but I don't know you. I think she genuinely was upset that during this conversation,
Starting point is 00:13:48 probably unlike all the other conversations she has with men, I wasn't actively like, Hey, I'm a big spend a money man in LA and I think you and I should hook up. I think that like got to her and it set her off. I honestly don't know. But the craziest part of the conversation was when I was kind of emotionally over it. So I was like, there's too many games happening here.
Starting point is 00:14:12 I just, I can't follow the conversation. She's trying to talk circles around me. And this is the thing that I must ask the women out there about when guys flirt with you, are they hyper direct? Cause this woman, I think only ever flirted with dudes who are like very direct, but indirect, if that makes any sense. So they would be like, so rather than like, um, being nice to a woman or offering to help a woman or, you know, striking the conversation with a woman, she, her, her flirting was like saying dirty stuff without saying anything dirty. That makes any sense. Yeah, I get
Starting point is 00:14:50 it. Right? And I was like, oh no, I don't do that. If I want to say something dirty, I'll say something dirty. That's the fun in it for me. She goes, but that's so gross. Like you don't say stuff like that. You skirt around it and it becomes sexy when you
Starting point is 00:15:05 do that i was like nah nah i'm an old pervert i don't do that if i'm gonna if i'm gonna be dirty with you we're about to be like freak nasty dirty i'm not like i need a woman who can say like cock without being like you know like i like i i can't i can't be with a woman who is like, I'm timid. Like, that shit drives me crazy. It's also like 90% of your name. Yeah. I mean, like, yeah. And she's like, so what would you say?
Starting point is 00:15:38 I was like, I don't know. Are we dating? And she's like, yes. In this scenario, we're dating. And I was like, and what is our relationship status? She's like, I am so in love with you. And I'm like, okay, so you're in love with me, and we're dating and i was like and what is our like a relationship status she's like i am so in love with you and i'm like okay so you're in love with me and we're dating she goes how would you flirt with me i was like well at that point i would just like touch you because i don't need to
Starting point is 00:15:56 say things she goes no you have to say something i'm like i have to say something why do i have to say something she's like you have to you have to say something i She's like, you have to say something. I'm like, hey, girl, want to see my dick? She looked at me so angrily. She was like, I can see you're not taking this seriously. I'm like, of course not. Of course I'm not taking this seriously. How long did this conversation go on? So, yeah, remember how I said I had an 11 o'clock meeting?
Starting point is 00:16:26 It went on until 11.05, but I was like, oh, fuck. So she got me. She clearly got me. And this is the problem with beautiful people. I hate you all. I absolutely hate you all. I can't win. I was like, damn, I guess I'll stick around.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Yeah. Yeah. And here's the thing. 10 years ago, Jesse would have been like, I could fix her. Now it's like, no, no, there's no way. I've been through way too many bad relationships. I was like, I see only red. I was like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Man, thank God I'm married. Yeah, dude. That wasn't even like a date or anything. That was just a conversation that went on too long. That literally sounds like you went on a first date. It does, doesn't it? It actually does. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Like if you didn't hear the start of that conversation, it's just you talking to someone and being like, oh, just like Jesse went on a date apparently. That's what it sounds like. It's one of those things where if I don't understand something, and this is the problem. If I don't understand something, I must understand it. don't understand something i must understand it right i must figure it out i must have answers and she like didn't provide answers and i'm talking to like basic questions like what do you do for a living that kind of
Starting point is 00:17:36 thing she would dodge the question yeah that's that sounds crazy yeah yeah yeah it's the it whatever it is it's toxic as hell and i was like nah i'm all right oh yeah no i'm fine yeah no uh well was that was that your main thing of the week it was the it was i mean it was a thing that happened this week other than that i just was was busy working doing my stuff for some reason well-adjusted, totally normal, rational women don't want to come up and flirt with me. It is only the ones who I'm just
Starting point is 00:18:13 mesmerized they make it through the day. And if you just happen to be feeling sorry for me, this is my call to action. Where's that gorgeous girl who showed up to that one live show? Where are you at? Why aren't we married? That's all I saying give me a call they won't they won't call me they won't they won't single tear uh well over on my side of life uh let's see see i'm busy living the old person life we went out to breakfast again yeah that was good uh yeah you didn't get any weird conversations at breakfast with a woman who
Starting point is 00:18:53 drove you insane yeah no i didn't have that so really yeah it's a bunch of old people uh there was this one table looked like a bunch of youtubers but they were like i don't know. I didn't hear anything they were saying. They could have just been TikTokers. It could have been nothing for all I know. I don't know. And then there's nobody really around us.
Starting point is 00:19:14 We were just kind of chilling. It was a pretty normal breakfast. But that was nice. Then it's been warming up. So that's been good. So I've been going on walks now, getting my vitamin D, touching grass, you know? Got to touch some grass.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Got to touch some grass. There actually is a bunch of people playing pickleball. Dude, people really get into pickleball. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What is pickleball? You know what pickleball is? No. Is it like hacky sack?
Starting point is 00:19:41 All right, Google pickleball. Is it like ultimate frisbee? Google it right now. Pickle, pickleball now Pickle pickle ball. Yeah pickle ball if it doesn't involve pickles. I'll be real upset. Oh, it's like it's like kind of tennis bullshit tennis, okay, it's like tennis and ping pong Mixed together it's not as like intense as tennis with like running back in the rackets and the but it's like more like ping pong He's got like a little racket things with but it's like more like ping pong's got like little racket
Starting point is 00:20:05 things but they're like paddles and then you got the ball which is almost like a wiffle ball and you're like they just whack it back and forth on like a smaller court. This does have the vibe of like the boomer sport. Oh like they're playing it at the gym. Every time I go to the gym now there's at least like
Starting point is 00:20:21 a group of people playing pickleball there's like pickleball in the park there's pickleball like everywhere group of people playing pickleball there's like pickleball in the park there's pickleball like everywhere it's this is becoming the thing and it was like there was like some intense pickleballers you know what i mean like there's this there's like two couples playing against each other and this one couple every time they'd like score a point they'd like touch their paddles together and be like, here we go. And they'd like do the little like clunk. Every time they score, they're just like clunk. So pickleball
Starting point is 00:20:50 has kind of the rules of ping pong, but on a tennis court, kind of. So there's you're allowed one bounce. Yeah. So like the server hits it. You're allowed one bounce. The receiver hits it back. There's a second bounce and then the server has to hit it again or whatever. Yeah. So it's kind of got like a ping pong rule hits it. You're allowed one bounce. The receiver hits it back. There's a second bounce, and then the server has to hit it again or whatever.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Yeah. So it's kind of got like a ping pong rule to it, except the hilarity that because it's called Pickleball, all the teams I'm looking at have great pickle-based names, like the Grit City Gherkins. I'm here for that. I love this. Yeah, it has it's own paddle yeah you got your own paddle which in this case is called a battle
Starting point is 00:21:30 B-A-D-D-L-E which is a whole thing yeah and every photo I see online except for two features people I'm gonna say 50 plus yeah I would say it's a majority you know like say 50 plus. Yeah, I would say it's a majority, you know, like the 50 plus crowd.
Starting point is 00:21:48 But I do see like a lot of like 40s, 30s, 40s people playing it too is like the, hey, this is easier on my joints and everything. But it's some good like cardio. It also has this weird kind of like in the South vibe. It also has this weird kind of like in the South vibe. I know you're in Chicago, but everywhere I'm looking, it's like Tallahassee, the Championship of Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Southern Ohio. Ohio are also, except Ohio, are like where people retire to. Exactly. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:22:20 That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah. A lot of like Southern, like it's warm down here, so we got to go outside and come up with I'm saying. Yeah, yeah. A lot of, like, southern, like, it's warm down here, so we got to go outside and come up with something to do. Yeah. I see that a lot. Yeah, pretty much. I'm surprised there's not more pickleball in California.
Starting point is 00:22:38 I figured they'd be doing it all. Well, there may be because I just found an article that says, Tom Brady joins LeBron James as Major League Pickleball's latest franchise owner. What the shit? Major League Pickleball. It's under Market Watch. That's so funny. Major League Pickleball.
Starting point is 00:22:53 The potential pickleball market is enormous, insiders say. Some 4.2 million Americans play pickleball, which is coming to restaurants and maybe the Olympics? What is happening? I've never heard this until today. To restaurants? What are you going to, like Dave and Buster's? What are you going to do? It's got to be a Dave and Buster's thing. There is
Starting point is 00:23:16 one restaurant that I saw. Boy, I don't know if it's in Cleveland. It's somewhere where it's like, they even have, it's like a sports restaurant. You know how there's like sports bars? This is like a sports bar, but in the restaurant is also like batting cages and a boxing ring and like you know all sorts of stuff and i wonder if that's the same thing although that also seems gimmicky as hell like restaurants like that like yeah let's go out to get a good meal of chicken wings and punching each other like i don't know what that i don't know the vibe there is yeah
Starting point is 00:23:50 uh i'm trying to find out how it even started i clicked on this and it says what and why is it called pickleball it says joel pritchard's wife, Joan, started to call their game Pickleball because the combination of different sports reminded me of the pickle boat in Crew, where oarsmen were chosen from the leftovers of other boats. But, according to Barney McCallum, they named
Starting point is 00:24:17 the game after Pritchard's dog. I mean, that's cool, too. I'm fine with that. So I guess that was just a game they invented. And then they're just like, yeah, we invented. So it's from the 60s. This seems like a 60s kind of game. Yeah, late 60s.
Starting point is 00:24:33 It does. This does seem like a late 60s thing. And then it goes away. And then all of a sudden, everyone's like, oh, remember the old pickleball? And they're like, oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks like it was a thing. And then in 2001, it kicked up again when pickleball, this makes perfect sense, was introduced for the first time at the Arizona Senior Olympics.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Yep. There it is. Yep. Over the next few years, it grew to nearly 300 players. So there you go. Yeah. It started all over again. And now we're somehow back here
Starting point is 00:25:05 where I'm hearing about pickleball for the first time. Yeah, I can't believe they haven't heard of it. That's crazy. I'm not 75. Why would I ever know about pickleball? I know about badminton. When I go past parks and stuff, they've turned tennis courts into just pickleball courts.
Starting point is 00:25:21 People want to play pickleball instead. They just warped it. But you also don't live in the city. Well, yeah. But I feel like even... So, like, if you're in a major city, you're not playing... The few things you have that are available are for tennis.
Starting point is 00:25:34 They're not setting aside space for a pickleball. They might, but it's probably in a gym or something. Maybe? You might be right. I'm not at gyms, so you may be correct there's plenty of like workout athletic centers like all these things they definitely have pickleball court it's not like you don't have if you're listening right now what is the pickleball situation in your community yeah let us know how's it has it taken over is there pickleball
Starting point is 00:26:00 like norway and shit i don't know so that's uh then let's see well since it's been getting warmer i also start getting like the summertime nostalgia you know what that is not i don't get summertime sadness i get summertime nostalgia are you like it was the summer of 69 is that like your vibe or you're just like remembering driving through the streets it's my summer of 99 really what? What is your summer nostalgia? I think it's partially because when you're younger, you get summer vacation. So that's the thing. But I have like all the things I think.
Starting point is 00:26:35 You're an adult. Couldn't you just summer vacation yourself? Well, when I say summer nostalgia, I'm not like, man, traveling around. Like some of it is like vacations. We had like going to Wisconsin and like like, water park places and, like, stuff like that. But some of it's just, like, man. Remember when I played MU Online in the summer? Like that.
Starting point is 00:26:55 I can tell you I've never felt that way. Yeah. Well, I get like that. I started Warhammer in the summer, like, four years ago. But you still have Warhammer. I guess I'm trying to figure out like what are you just thinking fondly? Is it a feeling? Are you having like, I remember when?
Starting point is 00:27:15 Or is it just like, man, summer's cozy. I love the summer. Like what is happening to you? I think some of it is thinking back on it and being like, man, it's been like four years since I started this. And I remember like how I felt when I first started being like, oh, this would be crazy. And now like, you know, it's years later. Like, I remember, what was it? Even like back in 2000, I don't know, whenever I was like 12 years old when I first started Warhammer.
Starting point is 00:27:40 That was in the summertime. So I was like thinking about that. Like, oh, man, I remember being 12. We were playing Yu-Gi-Oh. And then I remember, uh, God, what was it? There's like, there's like numerous summer memories that kept popping up. I guess is my main thing. And so I always, it's like all that blended together.
Starting point is 00:27:55 This makes me nostalgic. I guess I'm wondering what the nostalgia is. Is it? It's a blend. Right. But is it a happy feeling that you think about fondly and it sets up your mood for the summer? Or is it you reflecting on those things like, man, that was fun. I should do more fun stuff in the summer.
Starting point is 00:28:14 It's probably a little of both, actually. Because, you know, it is fun. I do like going outside now and like, maybe I'll start playing pickleball. Right? Maybe. But yeah, and then just like maybe I'll start playing pickleball. All right. Maybe. But yeah. And then just like, I don't know. Do you also think that maybe it's because you have winter and so you're like forced to be inside. And so when summer and spring finally hit, you're like, oh, it's so nice.
Starting point is 00:28:40 I get to go outside because I don't have that at all. It is constantly 60 degrees around here. Yes. It's 100% that too because that's part of the reason I actually would never want to live where it's constantly warm. Maybe when I'm like 70. You say that now. I had a feeling if you were in it, you'd be like, this is
Starting point is 00:28:57 awesome. You'd eventually take it for granted like I do, but you'd be like, this is awesome. But I enjoy the changing seasons. So do I, but you'd be like, this is awesome. But I enjoy the changing seasons. Like, I don't dislike... So do I, but like, also, I don't want to freeze my dong off. But sometimes I like freezing. Like, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Some people, like, okay, I'm gonna go a little weather elitist here, alright? Because that's... People do this all the time. But there's plenty of times, like, ooh, it's like 60 out, I need a jacket. Right? People act like it's cold. But here's one of my favorite things, all right? In the gym, all right? It's like January, okay?
Starting point is 00:29:30 I work out, go into the sauna, right? It's like 100 and something in there. Then you get out, go into the cold. It's like 20 degrees outside, and you're just like, oh, yeah. That's like an unbelievable feeling. Love it. I agree. It's kind of like if it's cold and you put the covers on, you like wrap yourself up like a little burrito.
Starting point is 00:29:47 It's nice. But I couldn't do that all the time. When it's cold, I go full hibernation. I'm a bear. I shut down emotionally, spiritually, physically, whatever. And if it's warm again, I'm like, all right, let's go. And so it's not even that. To me, it's more again i'm like all right let's go and so uh it's not even that to me it's more the
Starting point is 00:30:05 getting dark early like i don't mind the cold but the fact that it gets dark at like 4 30 p.m you're just like uh but that's why i go work out i like when it's dark out because that's when i stalk the night okay yeah because i'm a bear I'm a bear you see that's what I hunt for prey so I don't know I like the chain because every I've said this before every time a season starts I'm like I love this
Starting point is 00:30:37 season like whenever winter starts I'm like dude I love this it's cold you know it's got holidays we do all this stuff by the time winter's like ending I'm like it's snowed too much it's like slung out, it's got holidays. We do all this stuff. By the time winter's like ending, I'm like the snow. It's snowed too much. It's like sludge out there. It's all like dirty.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Like, can we just get the spring and spring starts? I'm like, yo, yeah, let's go spring. It's warming up a bit. We got rain. And then by the end of it, it's like, all right, it was 61 day. Then it was 30. Then it was like 50. Then it was 60.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Then it was 20. It's like, I just want to be warm. And then it's like warm. You're like, yo, it's warm out. Let's go. But by the end of summer, I'm just like, dude, it's too hot. I'm done with this. It's way too hot. You gotta like
Starting point is 00:31:09 sweat. You gotta put the air conditioning on. You're just like, can I go out? You're like, and then you go back in. And then fall hits. You're like, yo, fall. We got like Oktoberfest. We got like leaves changing. We got all that. This is great. And then by the end of fall, you're like, you know what? I'm ready for winter to hit. That's what I do.
Starting point is 00:31:26 I have the up and down roller coaster of seasonal change. I also like that per season you have your own priorities. But fall hits? Oktoberfest, baby! After that, don't care. Who cares about fall? It's all about drinking. Listen, I'm like
Starting point is 00:31:42 entirely Eastern European and like 50% German. So pretty much my entire culture is just Oktoberfest. I get that. I get that, especially Chicago. Oh, yeah. Yeah, pretty much a whole bunch of that here. And then, you know, I'm just part Polish and then so very Eastern European.
Starting point is 00:32:03 They love drinking. Granted, pretty much everybody all over loves drinking yeah it's not i mean that's like the midwest especially northern midwest that's the vibe oh yeah it's very northern midwest that's where they all kind of you know they all moved here from europe i keep thinking about that canadian dude who's like uh I keep thinking about that Canadian dude who's like, uh, do two, three beers,
Starting point is 00:32:25 two, three beer. That guy is basically Midwest America as well. Two, three beer. That can't even get you through a day. That's not going to do anything. Look,
Starting point is 00:32:38 I'm just saying I'm fine with four beer. I drink six beer, but I can do four beer. What do you want me to do? Have two liters of pop? Two liters of Coca-Cola? Is that any better than two four beer? Two liters of pop? The crazy thing
Starting point is 00:32:53 is that man kind of has a point. He's got a point. He has a point. I'm sure that beer is better for you somehow, but yeah, that's the vibe. That and if the guy was like, give me two or three beer and two pounds of cheese. Make it cheddar. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Italian beef. Put some spicy peppers on there. Sausage. Hot pepper. You gotta say hot peppers, not spicy pepper. You go hot pepper. Oh, that's right. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Hot pepper. Yeah, hot pepper. Yeah. Give me one of them milkshakes that's also a cake yeah yeah that's now you're now you're talking um yeah so yeah pretty much i don't know that's why i don't think i still don't think i'd like being in the heat non-stop like maybe if i was older and my joints hurt all the time and i'm like i'm tired of this then i would be like okay it won't be in the heat butstop. Like, maybe if I was older and my joints hurt all the time and I'm like, I'm tired of this, then I would be like, okay. It won't be in the heat.
Starting point is 00:33:48 But I think we can safely say that I, if I were you, and you're listening to this right now, and you want to come see Crennor and I live at the end of the summer. It won't be as hot. It won't be as hot. It might be. It would be August. But plan around August 26th. We're going to be at a totally different location in Chicago this time. Oh.
Starting point is 00:34:12 It isn't Lincoln Hall. It's going to be a different place, but equally fun. August 26th. Plan around that day. It's going to be a fun show. It's actually going to be earlier than normal. Usually we get out there around 11 p. It's going to be a fun show. It's actually going to be earlier than normal. Usually, we get out there around 11pm. This time,
Starting point is 00:34:29 we're going to get out there around 9pm. So, for all those people out there who are like, Jesse, let's go get a drink. This might be the time that I actually go with you. Damn, dude. Because it's not going to be midnight by the time we're done. So, very excited. Should be a good show. We're finalizing all the plans and when to get tickets and all that now.

Starting point is 00:40:50 We apparently are also the culture capital of Norway, though. I think our state just bought that title and raised the land taxes. Because apart from some museums, a concert hall, and a one pretty dock, it's a disappointing place.

And I'm like, okay, so they're saying they're a metropolis, which means, you know, I imagine big city. But everything I'm looking at, it's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:43:22 And the mountains in the background, gorgeous. But a metropolis, I don't know. I don't background, gorgeous, but a metropolis. I don't know. I don't know. I'd call it a metropolis. It does have an interesting art scene. I'm looking at all the various art stuff they got going on, and that seems very beautiful,
Starting point is 00:43:37 but also this town has the same vibe as a city, but also the town in every Norwegian dramawegian drama where a person's killed and it's foggy all the time and the detective's like i can't figure it out everyone here's stonewalling me it is like there's only three people in this town and one of them is the killer it has the exact same vibe as that as well it is i would love to know when it kind of like tried to modernize, if that makes any sense. Yeah, I know what you mean. I can see that. Because it feels like this place, if I would go back in time in the 90s, four people lived here.

Starting point is 00:49:31 Look at this. Yeah, mondog, the taco one that I thought was, that probably means Monday. Is dog day D-A-G? It's got to be. I just thought that mandag was kind of a funny name for taco stuff. So I figured, all right. Yeah, whore's Dog is probably Thursday. Yeah, look at me.

Starting point is 00:50:28 Learn it. I learned so much. Yeah. And that's the weather. All right. Let's go to sports. Sports. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Sports is going crazy. We just had the 76ers win in against the boston celtics series tied at two so it becomes the best of three now uh then the denver phoenix game is later tonight uh currently we got the maple leaves up uh one to nothing on the florida panthers however the panthers are up in that series two to nothing. Then we have the Carolina Hurricane losing today, but they're also up 2-1 over the Devils. Dallas-Seattle tied at 1 in that series. The Lakers, I'm like swip-swapping sports right now.
Starting point is 00:51:20 I can see that. 2-1 over the Warriors in their series. I can see that. 2-1 over the Warriors in their series. And the Miami Heat are up 2-1 over the Knicks in their series. Then in the other hockey games, it is the Golden Knights and the Oilers. And the Golden Knights are up in that series. But the crazy part was the Boston Bruins lost the number one team,
Starting point is 00:51:49 and the team that was the highest scoring regular season team ever. They only lost 12 games all season, but they lost in the first round to the Florida Panthers. Wamp, wamp. See, all that matters is playoffs. Nobody cares about your regular season anymore.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Where is... Let's see, Golden Knights. Oh, Golden Knights Oilers is tied at one. So another close series. Then in baseball, we got the old Tampa Bay Rays still up at the top at 28-7, but the Orioles and the Blue Jays
Starting point is 00:52:27 close behind at 5.5-7 back. I guess not that close, but close enough. The Twins atop the Central Division. The Texas Rangers atop the West. The Atlanta Braves atop the East. The Pittsburgh Pirates still atop the Central with the Brewers only half a game behind, and then the Cubs
Starting point is 00:52:44 2.5 behind them, and then the Dodgers atop the Central with the Brewers only half a game behind. And then the Cubs two and a half behind them. And then the Dodgers atop the West with the Diamondbacks half game behind. And the Padres two games behind them. We also had the NFL Draft last week. That was fun. I streamed it. We had a great time over on my football podcast. And now we wait like three months for football to start.
Starting point is 00:53:03 So that is sports. And now we wait like three months for football to start. So that is sports. Okay. Crandor, what is our fact of the day? People used to say prunes instead of cheese when having their picture taken. Prunes. Why? Wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:53:25 It makes, I guess it makes a, does it make a duck face? What is the, like, it's a smile? Let's see. Cheese makes your mouth go, like, your lips part, and it has a smile.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Prunes is like, you look like you're trying to kiss the camera. Yeah, that is, well, maybe that used to be a thing. Let's see. In the 1840s, big dare we say cheesy grin was seen as childish so one london photographer told people to say prunes to keep their mouths taut and that took uh or and that look predated today's fish face selfie by about 180 years okay so this actually, I know this.
Starting point is 00:54:06 There's a famous photo that keeps going around on the internet every once in a while where it's like, I think it's supposed to be a dude in China who is eating something, but he has this big smile on his face. And everyone thinks it's crazy because they're used to seeing old pictures where people are
Starting point is 00:54:22 straight-faced and they look sour. But this guy has like a big goofy smile and he's and everyone wonders why he has that when his contemporaries don't and the reason is that that photo was taken when they brought they brought a camera to china i think it's china they brought a camera to china and they had no cultural awareness at the time of like what you're supposed to do for a camera. And so this guy just took a photo, smiling, looking goofy,
Starting point is 00:54:50 that kind of thing. But in Europe at the time, and I guess potentially America, you know, where they were, people were taking photos all the time. Um, culturally the,
Starting point is 00:55:00 the concept was this isn't something you do for fun. This is like, the family's going to get together and we're going to take a photo, and this photo will last in our family for generations so that all might know we existed. Like that kind of stuff. And so they wanted to have this stoic, kind of like we, all y'all fall about us.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Like that vibe. And people I guess like that. But it also is the reason why most old photos look like people who are just statues and not actually real people. Like when we uncover things that are video of like that one video that went around recently because it was upgraded 60 FPS of like people throwing snowballs at each other. It seems so weird to us. Like, oh, they were just like us. Of course they were like us, but all the documentation of them is lies. It's all
Starting point is 00:55:49 we must look like we are ever standing vigil. It's all BS. No, it's the reason everyone also sees all those old pictures like, ah, they look so old. A lot of it's just because that's just how they dressed and looked. Plus they were probably stressed a lot back then. Sure. Yeah. So yeah, it's not like that as much anymore so yeah because i saw a thing where like
Starting point is 00:56:11 they modernized a lot of older pictures and people like oh yeah they look normal like younger and vibrant now yeah and it's it's very strange but i guess that was the... I don't know. I guess having a picture was the same as getting a portrait done, and so you wanted it to be something that would stand the test of time. But all it did was make it look older and weirder than it actually is. Yeah. Huh.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Well, those are fact of the day. Alright, what is our big story of the day? Nearly 500 pounds of pasta mysteriously dumped in New Jersey woods. I mean, okay, first off, it somehow makes perfect sense, but no sense at all. Like if you were to say 500 pounds of pasta dropped off in the woods, I'd be like, what? But when you add Jersey, I'm like, okay, well, that part checks out.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Yeah, that does check out. Some people in New Jersey found a bizarre way to pasta time. Can we stop doing this? Like, really? I don't know if they're required to do this by the head of the website or whatever,
Starting point is 00:57:23 but come on. We don't need it. Last month, by dumping nearly 500 pounds of cooked pasta in the woods near Old Bridge, New Jersey, the massive spaghetti dump appeared in a river basin around April 20th. Don't say the massive spaghetti dump.
Starting point is 00:57:40 The massive spaghetti dump. The massive spaghetti dump. That sucks. sucks became news after city council candidate nina jocknewitz posted a photo of it on facebook it was like the song on top of spaghetti all covered with cheese they posted mission impossible i just possible I just there anyone that just eyes of laughter every time they read those like oh my god the whole got me again I just want to like shake whoever
Starting point is 00:58:15 wrote this I hate their conflicting reports over whether the pasta was cooked Jack the wit says it was saying there are conflicting reports over whether the pasta was cooked. Jocknowitz says it was, saying it looked like someone filled up a wheelbarrow of pasta and dumped it. Others, including Hamanshu Shah, the business administrator of Old Bridge Township, suggested pasta was just wet from rain.
Starting point is 00:58:43 Shah confirmed today. So the big discussion is like, was it pasta that was like pre-cooked or did the rain get it wet so it just became soggy? These are important questions. Yeah, those are the big questions right here. They confirmed today that the 15 wheelbarrow loads of pasta were illegally dumped in the woods near a creek but said the spaghetti was uncooked.
Starting point is 00:59:04 It looks like it was only there for a short time, but moisture did start to soften some of the pasta. Officers took a report, and Shaw said two public work employees cleaned up the pasta in less than an hour. Police are investigating the incident, but there's no word on whether the pasta dump was the work of one person or a group.
Starting point is 00:59:23 The pasta picks brought some strong reactions as you would imagine right of course philadelphia resident uh ali al laco told the inquirer this is the most new jersey thing ever that's what i was saying uh while the photos inspired some pretty saucy pasta puns on the Reddit page. We're not reading those. So, that's that. Wait, there's an article here that says, sleuthing neighbors think they know who dumped pasta. Hold on, we've got an update. Uh-oh, this is new.
Starting point is 00:59:59 Okay, here we go. We've actually got an update, a real live update. The mystery of how nearly 500 pounds of pasta ended up dumped near a New Jersey stream may have been solved thanks to some locals who used their noodle. He killed him. Ladies and gentlemen, he finally got killed by the puns. Took one too many puns to chest. That's it. The massive spaghetti dump mysteriously appeared in a river basin.
Starting point is 01:00:29 I can't. They got to stop calling it massive spaghetti dump. They do. Just a terrible name. Don't do it. Don't associate anything. It's a big steaming pile of spaghetti dump just don't name anything a massive dump stop it
Starting point is 01:00:51 uh although public works crews quickly cleaned it up authorities have not determined the culprit or the reason for the pasta dump it remains unclear how or why the pasta ended up there but some suspect is wait some suspect it was the work of a military veteran who was trying What? house and they were probably stocked up from COVID, neighbor Keith Ross said, adding he suspects a generational aspect was in play. My grandparents always had a cupboard full of cans and pasta, just to be safe. Old Bridge Mayor Owen Henry doesn't seem to be planning a big investigation, telling AP that since pasta did not cause any environmental damage or health issues, he considers it matter closed. It certainly shouldn't have ended up in the woods. Putting That's what I'm saying! Exactly!
Starting point is 01:02:00 And to be clear, when Crendor says massive pasta dump, I'm looking at a photo of it right now. Yeah. It is, it's, it's along a river. And I'm going to say this could have fed 500 people. Yeah, this is pretty insane. Easy. This is, this is actually insane. Okay, so the, so they still haven't found it.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Someone's like, yeah, I think some guy was cleaning out his dead mother's house. But they don't know. If the pasta was bought during COVID, for COVID's sake, I'd wager that pasta's still good. It probably is. If it's dried pasta in a package package it may not be best by date i have no clue but it should still be good in theory it's dried pasta oh yeah dry pasta won't ever really expire it'll just lose quality yeah you're not it's not gonna be like the best pasta but it's
Starting point is 01:03:01 still you could take that to a shelter. Yeah. That was like on Patreon. I did one of my Patreon food reviews for patreon.com slash Crandor, and I ate, what's it called? S'mores Instant Oatmeal. I was like,
Starting point is 01:03:20 I gotta try this one for the Patreon. And so, I ate it, and I was like, oh, I guess it doesn't expire until January. But then I looked and it was this January it expired. And I was like, oh, am I going to die? So I looked into it and apparently, yeah, it doesn't really expire because there's no moisture exposed to it. So it just loses some flavor, taste or whatever.
Starting point is 01:03:40 Yeah. Most Best Buy dates on non-moisturey stuff are for like max quality. Yeah, most Best Buy dates on non-moisture stuff are for like max quality. But it doesn't mean you can't eat it unless it's you know, like a milk-based thing or something where clearly over time it will curdle
Starting point is 01:03:57 or sour or mold like bread. Bread has a Best Buy date for a reason. But dried things, canned stuff i mean most of that it's purposely made to last as long as humanly possible yeah no so uh pasta pasta yeah it's i'm looking at this it is so so much pasta. It is a lot of pasta. It's like when you see Gordon Ramsay go into one of those restaurants. He opens up the fridge and he's like, what's all this bloody pasta?
Starting point is 01:04:33 It's the exact same thing. It looks like so much. It's different types as well. I was checking because I was like, I thought it was just the same type. But no, there's like some SpaghettiOs. There's like long linguine pasta, there's like normal spaghetti. There's a whole bunch of types of pasta. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Maybe it is that. What's crazy is it was dropped right next to a stream. It's like there's a river right there and then a pile of pasta. Yeah, that is crazy. I don't know if the person who dumped it was like, animals might like this.
Starting point is 01:05:07 Yeah, I don't know. I can't figure it out. It's so bizarre. Nature will consume the pasta. As it does. Man, it's a mystery. I would want to know why someone chose that.
Starting point is 01:05:23 That's the thing. I don't care that you did it. Why did you do it? Yeah, that's what I want to know why someone chose that. That's the thing. I don't care that you did it. Why did you do it? Yeah, that's what I want to know. Why? What was their thought process? What was the reasoning? What mentality did you have where it was like, look, I could take these down to the homeless shelter and deliver it or walk out into the woods
Starting point is 01:05:39 carrying all this pasta and dump it one after another? Yeah. No, I don't get it, but that's your big news story of the day. All right. That's it for us. Thanks so much for listening or watching or ever enjoying this podcast. Crendor.
