In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. In 4 hour recording studio.

Recording. Wake your ass up, it's Cacks and Crandall in the morning. Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of Cacks and Crandall in the morning! Yeah, excitement! Oh, you coming in hot today! Hot today, it's actually pretty hot outside. Maybe that's why. Maybe, maybe that is why. Is that why you're full of energy? Well, it's also been two weeks since we last recorded. So that's true.

Well, look, so it was Mother's Day and it is also my birthday and my mom's birthday. We're very close together. Trifecta. So, yeah, we did like a hat trick of a weekend in Vegas because my mom wanted to go there. And so that's where he went. And it was, it was absolutely fine. I learned,

uh, I am not Vegas and I, we get along as long as I'm not in a casino. I learned once again that I suck at gambling. I can't be around gambling. There was a point in time I was up $746 and I was like, yeah, baby! And then the next day I lost all of it.

And on day two of a four-day trip, I was like, I can't gamble anymore. My wallet was empty. I refused to go get more money. I'm like, I'm not. I can't. I'm not meant for this. And my parents then were like, here, take our winnings! By the way, my mom always wins.

Always. And it's so upsetting. Because then she'll be like, here, take our winnings. By the way, my mom always wins. Always. And it's so upsetting. Because then she'll be like, well, I won some here. Take this ticket. I won some money. And I'm like, please don't give this to me. And then I'll just lose it in like two minutes. Oh, yeah.

She'll go to the slot machines and play the penny slots and sit there for like 45 minutes and walk away with like 100 bucks. And I'm sitting there like, yeah, I'll do the penny slots too. Two minutes, all my money's gone. I'm like, how does this happen? Dude, I remember first time I went to a casino. I was like 21. They're like, we got to go to the casino. And so we went and I won like $120.

And I was like, dude, this is great. And I've never won since, like never. And so I just, I gamble like 15 minutes. I'm like, I'm good. It's my once a year, lose my 50 bucks or whatever. I think it's the gamer mentality in me where I'm just like one more try, one more try, one more turn, right?

And the problem is that's not how you should be in a casino. So I was playing craps. I was doing that thing where, so at first, because it was a minimum $5 bet for any chip on the board. So I'm like, okay, so I'm going to start really low. So I do five. Well, that five turned into 10. Okay, I'm going to take that extra five and put that here. Oh, that one?

Okay, now I have 20. All right, so I'm going to do, so I'm going to do this, and I'm going to do this. And so I'm like, put them down. At one point in time, I think I had like $200 on the board. I was everywhere, and every time someone rolled a dice, I was just like, Oh, did I win again? Oh my God! And then just like that, day two, I come back thinking, here I go. I'm going to start right where I was before.

Rather than slow and steady like I did before. I was like, I'm going in because right where I was before rather than slow and steady. Like I did before. I was like, I'm going in because you got to spend money to make money, baby. You know, play hard, win hard.

Let's go. Lost it all. Like it was maybe 30 minutes. I was like, Oh, why did you do this? Jesse? Like I just failed so completely.

Yeah. So that, that sucked. But what sucked even worse is that while walking around, I don't know what I did. It might've been the alcohol. I don't know. I couldn't tell you, but I clearly twisted my ankle. It hurt bad because of my mom's weekend. And I didn't want to be like a dick.

I was like, eh, I'll walk. Like, it hurts, but I'll walk. And so we walked around. We did some stuff. Terrible decision. The last day that we were there, the last, like, I guess it was Sunday or something. The last day, my foot hurt so bad that every step was excruciating. And I must have been a miserable piece of shit.

I feel bad for my mom and dad because I didn't want to talk. You know how that you want to get that pain where it hurts so bad. You just want to be left alone. My parents can't do that. They can't just leave me be. So we be walking around or we be at dinner or something. And I'm sitting there trying not to focus on the fact that my leg hurts so bad and I just need to not be on it. But I'm trying to be like

a good son and do stuff with them. And so I told them, look, my foot hurts. I messed it up. Please, please keep that in mind. And they kept asking me questions and talking to me and we'd be walking places and they'd be asking me like how much further is it? And all I want to say in my head was like, oh my god,

shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. You don't think I'm thinking how much further is it? And all I want to say in my head was like, oh, my God. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. You don't think I'm thinking how much further it is? I'm in pain. And they're like, where's this place at? Where are we going?

I'm like, oh, my God. So I definitely snapped at them a few times. It was like, read the room. I'm in so much pain right now. So then we come back. We get off the plane. I'm like, I'm going to go pain right now. So then we come back. We get off the plane. I'm like, I'm going to go rest. I'm going to go chill out.

I'm going to go put my foot up. And I did. And I'm fine. Everything turns out okay. I'm in the office Tuesday, just like doing stuff. Everything's fine. Wednesday, the pain's still there kind of, which is weird. That doesn't seem normal. And so, you know, back to doing stuff. Wake up Thursday on my birthday. My ankle is swollen, just like throbbing.

I'm like, what? So I go see a doctor and my doctor's like, yeah, so you sprained your ankle. Did you stay off of it? And I was like, well, I mean, not really. And he's like, what are you doing? And I was like, well, I was walking not really. And he's like, what are you, what were you doing? And I was like, well, I was walking around Vegas. He's like, why were you walking around Vegas?

And so I spent all my birthday for, I'm going to say 18 hours in bed. Uh, and I did nothing. I didn't, I went in, recorded news, went home,

did not like just it. I cannot express to you the amount of pain going from my bed to the bathroom, which is, I'm going to say 12 steps total. It was rough. I had to hold onto the bed. I had to hold onto the wall. I, it was every step was painful. And I genuinely, at one point I was laying in bed.

I was like, I should just ask someone to cut it off. I should just get rid of it. Replace it with a boot. I just, I can't, I can't do it. It's like, is this my life now? Is this who I am? And then I woke up the next day after being off of it for about 18 hours. And I was fine.

Like I woke up, my foot was fine. It was a little tender, but I was walking okay. I was like, oh, well, no, alright. I'm just a big crybaby. It sucked. That does sound like it sucked. I mean, the only thing I saw from your trip was your mom with that

what do you call it? She was dancing at the crazy bar. We went to a very good Mexican restaurant. Someplace in Vegas. I can't remember what it's called, but it was delicious. And the best part was for dessert. We were in Vegas. So if you're going to go to Vegas, get a dessert, live your life.

We couldn't decide between, and this is how i knew it was trouble one dish was a quinoa some type of cinnamon puddingy thing but the cup was a pineapple and it was also pineapple flavors delicious that was so good my dad literally started eating the pineapple cup because he was into it and then the other thing my mom got was uh like three little ice creams and they were flavors that i couldn't describe to you one i think was a berry something and one i think was pineapple and one i think what it was like vanilla or a uh tres leches or something but in back, there was like a heat to it. So when you ate it, it was creamy,

but at the end, it was like spicy. I don't know what was going on there. I just munched on all the things on the table. I was like, ooh, thank you. It was great. Loved it. Big fan. So yeah, we did that stuff.

That's where my mom was dancing. But the best part of the trip, actually, was the the most podcast worthy, which was the very, very beginning. When we, day one, I think I might've been recognized like five times, which was very weird. But the first time I was recognized by someone was on the plane. Shout out to this dude. Seemed like a cool dude. Uh, but the entire flight I'm sitting next to this woman who We're flying to Vegas From LA So imagine the most typical LA older woman you can Oh I can't

But also like Vegas-y So the best way to describe her Is she had the body of a 23 year old But the face of like a 70 year old Yeah I know And so She doesn't talk to me at all through the entire flight 23 year old, but the face of like a 70 year old. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Yeah. And so, you know, she doesn't talk to me at all through the entire flight, except for like, uh, maybe to move where her water is or something.

Right. And so we land the guy in front of me, turn, stands up as we're getting off the plane. He's like, yo, are you Jesse Cox? And I'm like, yeah. And he's like, oh man, I know. I didn't want to say anything. I said, that's all good, dude. I gave him a pound and we were sitting there having a conversation. The woman next

to me, this woman from, you know, I don't know what era of Vegas or LA. She looks at me and I swear to God, pulls down her, she had, you know how, this isn't a thing I hate, by the way. This isn't a thing I hate. Women, keep this up, please. You know how there are those sweaters that are barely a sweater and has like a deep V that some women wear and it's literally just for like sweater cleavage? I think I know what you mean. You know what I'm talking about? Where it's like kind of a knit sweater.

Anyway, she had one of those on and she like hikes this thing down the minute she hears him talking. So now I'm at, I'm going to say I went from 20% boob to like 50% boob. I looked it up. I know what you mean. Yeah. And so she pulls this thing down and I'm like, okay, what's happening here? And then she's like, are you famous? I was like, no, hardly. No, I'm not famous. And she's like, oh, what's happening here? And then she's like, are you famous? I was like, no, hardly.

No, I'm not famous. And she's like, oh, what do you do? And the guy was like, oh, he like plays video games and stuff. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And she's like, oh, you make games? I was like, I do. And then she like gave me this look that I guess that's what people see when someone is like, how can I use this person? I don't like it.

It was a weird vibe. I've never seen this look before in my life, but it definitely wasn't attraction. It was like, is there a scheme I can execute here? I don't know how to describe it. It was a weird vibe. And I was like, yeah, well, you know, it's a living. It's what I do. And the guy was like, all right, dude, I'll see you later.

And so he leaves. And my dad, I don't know if he blocked off this woman or, like, walked in front of her in order to let me leave. But it was so funny because I just got out. I was like, nah, nah, Nana. I'm not going to mess with that. Like, I make jokes, but I don't know. I don't know. It was, yeah, it was real awkward.

I was like, oh, okay, well, have a good day. Yeah, that's some sort of scheming going on, 100%. Yeah, I definitely recognized that her face changed when dealing with me. I could see it in her eyes and in her smile and stuff, but it wasn't like, ooh, I'm about to be flirtatious. It was more of a, ooh, I'm about to be Machiavellian. She just didn't look like a person who was up to good. And I'm like, okay. How can I get some money out of this guy?

Yes. Yeah, it had that vibe to it. And I don't know if my dad recognized it or he was just clumsily in the way either way big save big save uh yeah i just i like to imagine your dad was just clumsily in the way just like oh i don't know that he noticed right away he probably noticed the guy talking to me but i don't think he noticed the the, although she was very loudly being like, are you famous? Oh, boy.

Here we go. She's like, I didn't know I was sitting next to a famous person the whole time. Okay. Yeah. One of those. Yeah. That's the crazy thing. Like, that's what set it off. I think when she said, I didn't know I was sitting next to a famous person the whole time. Like, in some way, that would have changed our interaction on this one hour, less than one hour flight.

Like, okay. I would have been talking with you more if I would have known I could get something out of you. Oh, my God. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, okay. Cool. Enjoy Vegas. See you later. Yeah. Well, that's fun. Yeah. It was See you later. Yeah. Well, that's fun. Yeah. It was a real treat.

Yeah. At least your ankle's better too. Yeah. Yeah. It was just, I should just listen to people instead of work my ass off all the time. I really should just base everything off of your life. You really should. You're like, I keep hurting my back.

I'm like, what'd you do? He's like, well, I went to the gym today, even though I shouldn't go to the gym. And I did a lateral press on my exterior glutamus. And then I broke my back. And I'm like, well, why'd you do that? And you're like, I don't know. Exactly. That's pretty much what happened to me.

I was like, I hurt my leg. Well, why did you walk for four days? I don't know. I got places to go. That's what I'm saying. Sometimes you just want to go. Yeah don't know. I got places to go. That's what I'm saying. Sometimes you just want to go. Yeah. Yeah.

Sometimes you just want to go. Yep. Speaking of going, I went to... Nice. I went to Anime Con. Hold on. Anime Central. That's what it was.

Okay. Anime Central. Is it Chicago Anime Central or just Anime Central? It's just Anime Central. I guess it's like one of the biggest anime things in the Midwest. The Central is probably because it's like in the middle of the country. Yeah. So like all the states around and like, you know, people from wherever come here or whatever.

So we had friends that went there and they were like, hey, like we can get you passes if you want to go. And I was like, I mean, listen, I don't really care about anime, but what I do care about is the people watching and just walking around. Plus, you know, it's just like, I like being at a con and just like in the environment and everything.

I'm like, all right. So we went and it was everything I expected it to be. Go on. So it's just a lot of anime watchers, as you can imagine. I mean, like, you don't need to explain anymore. I already have a perfect visual. Yep. Just it was just a lot of that. Just walking around, uh, seeing like art people are drawing.

I said like art booths that there's just so many anime. I just had no idea what it was like. Any of it is, I feel like how people feel when I talk about sports, you know what I mean? Like they're just like, yes, I actually kind of do. Yeah. Yeah. Cause when you talk about sports it's like oh

yeah i know the main ones like i know lebron james i know like patrick mahomes aaron rod like you know the big things like i know attack on titan like i know demon slayer like all these but then you see like kiribatsu's journey to dragon land and i'm like what the shit and everyone's like you haven't seen kiribatsu's journey to dragon land are you some sort of idiot and I'm like, what the shit? And everyone's like, dude, you haven't seen Kiribatsu's Journey to Dragon Land? Are you some sort of idiot? And I'm like, apparently. And like, there's so much of that. And it just, like, overwhelmed me. But I was like, listen, I don't care. I'm just here to walk around.

Take in the environment. You know, go to a few panels. I always like going to panels because it's just like, I don't know, you just like chill in the back in a chair and you just like can browse your phone a bit and listen to the panel. It's just like, I like't know, you're just like chilling in the back in a chair and you just can browse your phone a bit and listen to the panel. I like the environment of the panel room.

You know? And you're just like listening. So one of the panels was like voice. Yeah, I was about to say, what panels were you just listening? Well, the one panel was voice acting. So... Who would have been a guest at the voice acting panel was it american

or they had a big they had a big anime dub voice competition oh boy oh boy this was the finals all right and so it was like the the top 10 or whatever uh and so what they would do is like there was this there's like five people on the stage there's one dude who was just like all right everybody you know this is how we're gonna do it and we're part of the voice acting anime school of acting listen i don't know i don't even know if this is like strictly anime or if it's like voice a i'm like whatever uh but they're like all right what we're gonna do is we're gonna give you a script and you just read the script and that's how we do it in the industry like you come into the studio they're like this is your character and then you do it which i was like that seems like not enough prep time to get into a character right i mean this in like the nicest way

to the industry you're absolutely correct it's stupid as hell like why do they do there's there's times where people will get a script day of and have no context for what they're recording and be told okay so you're uh guji the three-headed warrior who's fighting the hero in this scene. This is your character art. And all right, go. And you're like, what? And sometimes you're doing VO to the actual scene that already exists. And so there's little like beep, beep, beep, like lead-ins.

Or you'll see it on the screen. So they're trying to do mouth matching or whatever. There's so many different ways to do it. I'm going to let you know. It is a skill I don't have, and I also think is really stupid. All the skills, last minute getting it right is not something I think is

good, but I guess people have it. I just don't get why they don't just send them the script early. Do they not have it early? Sometimes they may not have it early. Sometimes they don't want people to know or to be able to spoil stuff or to put it out there. Or sometimes they send them fake stuff. When I used to do a lot of voiceover

auditions back in the early 2000s, I would get lines of dialogue to read or I would get copy of scripts and whatever and it would be fake. It wouldn't even be for the... They just wanted to hear what voice or how it would read or I would get copy of scripts and whatever and it would be fake it wouldn't it would it wouldn't even be for they just want to hear what voice or like how I read or what you know um yeah or they didn't know what they wanted this is a story I always tell and since I just rebeat the Mass Effect trilogy um Mass Effect 3 the James Vega the character that is uh Freddie

Prince Jr. in that I auditioned for that character way back when I was one of like the last few people they were going to pick from and obviously went with the celebrity and then they, but the thing was is that they, the character originally was not named Vega. He was not

like Hispanic in any way. He was based off of captain kirk from star trek like the jj abrams star trek and so i studied i might have watched that movie 12 times in order to like get the affectation like get the character like his attitude and i busted my ass and in the end they were like yeah we decided to change him completely because we wanted to fit the celebrity that we wanted to be the voice. And it's like, you're totally fine doing that.

But what I know that means is that a lot of that character was last minute and probably done, Freddie Prinze Jr. probably did a lot of work helping create that character. Oh yeah. I would imagine. Because it seemed very last minute they made the change.

Yeah. So that's kind of the industry. That's kind made the change. Yeah, so that's kind of the industry That's kind of the sense Yeah, I also assume especially like anime they probably it's like we gotta pump these out right like that episode 8000 So you're just like all right. Here's script go. All right. Can you do it? Okay next person if you can't like That's one of the funny things about it is when you look at Like anime voice actors if you look at their their list of credits almost everyone is like yeah it was in an episode of pokemon and one piece and you're like oh yeah that makes sense there's about eight billion of those yeah that's the other reason i

can't get into a lot of those there's like you just gotta get to like episode 70 and that's good i'm like i'm not gonna watch episode seven or 70 episodes of this before it gets good i can just do anything else yeah a lot of the time when i watch anime it's uh i'll start from the beginning and and this is of course i haven't watched i haven't sat down to watch an anime i can't tell you how long but when i used to uh you know mostly because i was trying to make a girl that i was dating continue to want to sleep with me. Classy. Yeah. Yeah, you know. Most of what we watch, it would be like the first 10, 14 episodes, amazing.

And then there'd be a hard cut at 15 or 16, and it'd be downhill the rest of the way. And it didn't matter how many episodes there were, it would just suck. There were very few anime that I was like, boy, I'm so glad we stuck with it and then they then you're right the other flip side is it sucks and then like a hundred hours in it's the best thing ever i'm like well can i just skip to it nope you can't do it you got it the whole process is what makes it good characters they're building i'm like i don't have the time to do that. Yeah, that's my thing. It's like, I can just do anything else.

I can go for a walk, you know? I can go to the gym. I can work on things. I can, I don't know, I can paint Warhammer. Like, I'd probably just rather do all those things. I guess I can paint while watching something, but then you're not getting your full attention. And then I'd rather just watch other things.

I think I just, I'm just not a big anime person i think that's what i think i think a lot of it has to do with just the fact that a lot of anime is a little i don't want to say over the top but you know like the anime affectations and the anime like a lot of it is just a little too much for me it's like that one time i went to that bar and people were doing goofy karaoke about video games. And we were just like, maybe we're too nerdy for this. There's a point of my nerdiness where I'm like, nah, that's too much for me. I can appreciate, but it's not for me. Yeah, it's like Pokemon karaoke.

There's like Charizard, blast toys, here we go. I was like i listen i i'm i'm not gonna do this yeah there's some people who clearly that's super fun for and bless but i was like i'm gonna need a drink i this is yeah yeah it's i think i get like secondhand embarrassment i'm just like oh they're really they're really singing. And it doesn't even matter if you know the people there also like, yeah, this will be fun if you do it. Like, it doesn't matter. I'm embarrassed for myself.

Back to this thing. Yeah. They're like, yeah, you know, here's your script. Right. And you just got to do it off the top of your head. Right. So there's all these people and they'd give them the script and then they had like one girl who was like doing the on-site editing on like a laptop so that thing was like running terribly uh and they were like

yeah normally we run this on like two supercomputers and not like a macbook air so and it would just they had to reboot it once like a hard reboot uh and then they would be like all right but here you go so they'd give them the line and it plays the japanese version and then they're like all right and now you go and then it's just like beep beep beep and then they would go and do their line and so they had the there's this one uh this one woman who is like an actual Japanese like voice actor what do you call it? The person who actually works with voice actors like constantly.

Do you know who it was? Do you have any idea? I heard her name a few times. She reminded me of Marie Kondo but with anime voice. That's not helpful at all. right that's um do you remember anything about her name no all right well that's usually when it comes to like directors like that i probably know but you probably would yeah you're not helpful i am this is like if i'm like oh you

watch sports did you who was the like middle linebacker do you know like did you right right right um so anyway there's her and then there was two other judges and then the like main guy and he was just like directing well but i guess he was like an extra like a teacher at this school of voice acting as well so they all knew what they were doing but i was like you know what and i'm gonna listen to all these people i'm gonna figure out who i think should be like the top three because that's they're doing it's like the top three uh get like scholarships to this voice thing or like they get a you know paid thing they got to go to california whatever uh and so i was like listening and some people i was like i was pretty good and then some i was like yo that was pretty good like, it's pretty good. And then some I was like, yo, that was pretty good. Like, they were actually really good. And some of them actually adjusted really well. Like, they would be like, these are my friends, and we will defeat the enemy.

And they're like, you got to go faster. There's no commas. No commas in anime. And he's just like, I will defeat the enemy. There's no way. And then I was like, all right, okay, yeah, you got to adjust. And so some people were just not, they just like couldn't pick up the pace of it. You know what I mean?

Yeah, that's a skill to stick with something that already exists. That's tough. It is. I've tried to do that. I'm bad at it. I don't think I'd be good at it either. Like I would, because they were being like, oh, how many people here would want to come up and do this or whatever? And I was like, listen, I like doing my dumb voices for, like, my videos,

but I don't want to, like, actually go up there and have someone, like, direct you and, like, have to do lines over and over and then do another one and then, like, be like, all right, you better like this character you are. And then if you don't, if people don't like your character, they're like, you're the dumb idiot from the show I don't like. You voice them. And it's like, okay. Right?

Like, that happens to a lot of people where it's like okay right like that happens to a lot of people where it's like all right you're gonna be you're gonna be uh king joffrey in game of thrones and everyone's gonna hate you right like and then you get people that are just always mad at you like i don't want that so i look i get it yeah yeah um so after all all the people went i was like all right i think this one girl was really good I was like, all right, I think this one girl was really good. She was like this really good dragon girl. And I was like, I think she's going to win. Like, she was like the best one.

And she came in second. So I was like, you know what? I was pretty good in my scouting. And the number one, the winner was like this one guy that went insane. Like, he was this guy who was like running around. He like fell was this guy who he was like running around he like fell on the ground or like he's like and i was like uh it like it felt like what yeah they're like going he

went insane and fell i thought it was voice acting what do you mean but when they announced the winners he like was sitting down and so he's like, he's going crazy. He's running around. His friend, I honestly don't even remember. They pop these thingies that were really loud, like the confetti shooting. Like, pop.

And I was like, bah. Wait, the friends had them already? No, I guess the people working there. I didn't know what was happening. All right? I'm like an old man. I can tell. I can tell this is kind of a blur for you.

I'm an old man outside of my environment. And so I was just like, what's going on? What's going on? Where am I? Who is this? I'm scared. And I was like, all right. But it was fun.

I enjoyed it. And then after that, we walked around a bit more and then went home and got stuck in the parking garage. And like, my God, I think somebody bumped into someone else. So it like blocked the people getting out and they had to pull over, but they couldn't pull over because there's cars blocking them. So they'd like, and it just backed the entire parking garage up for like 20 minutes. And so the car. Wait, hold on, hold on.

What? Hold on. Why? why what i guess i don't understand well because the car hit the other car in the parking garage like exit line right so it's like how on earth is that you know what never mind that what you literally just described a guy who freaked out because he wanted and like ran around and people pop stuff. I guarantee of course a car crash is going to happen because they weren't paying attention. Like never mind. You don't have to explain that to me. It was

definitely someone not paying attention in the there are some crazy drivers like they're crazy. The anime, the anime people drive like madmen. Oh, yo, were there any anime cars? Anime? Oh, there was there were a decent amount of anime cars.men. Oh, yo, were there any anime cars? Anime?

Oh, there were a decent amount of anime cars, yes. Okay, good, good, good. You know, there's got to be some anime cars. Little anime stickers popping up on the window. Not just stickers. I'm talking about the ones where they stick a half-naked woman on the side of the car, and she's like, kawaii, or whatever. Oh, yeah. No, there were, I'd say at least five I saw.

Their license plate says Aura Aura on it or something. Yep. Oh, my God. I saw one of those the other day, not even at AnimeCon. It was literally that decked out, and it just said, oh, my God, what did it say? It was something about something I can't say. I was like, all right. Oh, my God.

That was the car. This wasn't even an anime car. I just saw a car. It had a bumper sticker. It said, I eat ass. That was it. That's what a bumper sticker on their car. How do they?

All right. I thought for a minute. I thought a license plate. I was sitting there trying to do the math on how they fit that many letters. And I was like, well, all all right we know that about him uh so yeah uh it was uh oh i also played a crunchy roll crane game and i won a small cat man what what on earth does that mean? Well, it's a guy in a cat suit that's a plushie, and I won it because the crane went down and grabbed it,

and then I got it. Okay, I mean, like, I understand how crane games work. I'm saying, is this Catman something a person would know, or is it just a cat, like a man in a cat suit? Someone would know. Me? No. I would person like a man in a cat suit someone would know

me no i would not that's all that matters yeah all right i'm fine you don't know i don't care i gave it to the poster woman but i don't even think she knew who the cat man was um but you know i guess we got one i feel like you got to take a photo and put it on Twitter or something. It's from Haikyui. Haikyui? That's probably not right. There's already people yelling at me. Haikyui sounds like the most made up show ever. They're gonna, that's

probably just my pronunciation of it. Haikyui sucks. Haikyui. Haik... Oh, it's volleyball? Wait, why is he in a cat suit if it's volleyball? I don't know. Let's see.

IQ. 2014 to 20. It's been going six years. Wait, it went six years. I think it's done. I just want to know how to say it. Do they have like a... IQ pronunciation. Here we go. How to know how to say it. Do they have like a... Haikyuu pronunciation.

Here we go. How to say... Oh, wait. Haikyuu. Haikyuu. What? Hold on. Yes?

Okay. It's... Haikyuu. So it's Haikyuu-y? Haikyuu-y. I've never seen anyone try so hard to figure out something so stupid. Either way, this was all an experience. I'm glad I got to experience it.

And, you know, I'm probably not going to watch. It didn't inspire me to watch anime is what i'm getting at yeah yeah i can tell i can tell you're real and you're like you know what i'm converted i'm gonna watch all i'm gonna start with one piece and see where it goes yeah no i'm not doing that so uh but it was fun that's. Uh, it's nice to get out and like see stuff. That's the thing where like I'll see photos of an anime convention or, uh, like at Ren fair.

And I'll be like, Oh, that looks so cringe. And like, I would hate being there, but then when I go there and I'm in it, I'm kind of like, all right,

this is fun. Yeah. This is fun. Okay. Yeah. Like you just, you of like, all right, this is fun. Yeah. This is fun. Okay. Yeah. Like you just, you walk around, you just take it all in. It's more about experiencing the environment, you know? Yeah.

I think the reason why I think it's a little cringy is because all the time I see photos of people at like cons or people like rent fairs, it's them sort of doing their thing. Like they're making it about themselves. You know what I mean? I know what you mean. And it comes off as a little cringy. Like this is my crew. We all dressed up as pirates and we're going to get you are,

show me that booty. And I'm like, Oh yeah, that's, that's, it starts bordering that thing we were talking about, right? Like the,

the karaoke nerd stuff where it's like, all right, let's get a little too great. A little too nerdy for me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like a little too nerdy for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just like a little too much. It's just like, you know, tone it back. We're at an 11. Let's hit like a 9 and I'll be fine.

You don't have to go too far back, but just like a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty neat. It also made me wonder if I could do an anime voice. Right? Like, I feel if I could do an anime voice. Right? Like, I feel like I could probably do one.

But I feel like I'd have more fun doing cartoons. Like, actual, like, cartoon cartoons. Hold on. Give me an anime voice. Like, okay. If I had the anime off the spot, I would just be like... Your name is Fatsuma. Okay.

And you are a high schooler who has found himself in an alternate reality where he is a brave warrior. All right. And you've just discovered that you're this brave warrior, but you're actually just a high schooler. Go. My name is Fatsuma, and I arrived here on... That just sounded like a ghost hunter. Here's my... That was very good. That was very good, because

then I could be his friend, Gigi. Gigi is a little tiny gremlin, but he has the voice of his old high school friend named Juju. Right.

And he's like, I don't know, Fatima-san. What are we gonna do? One thing we need to do is find our friends, because friendship is the thing that will solve our problems. That's why you're so smart and the greatest warrior who ever lived. I am a pretty cool warrior, but something just doesn't feel right. What's the matter,ima son i don't know but we're gonna have to find out soon and then the shadows form and he's like oh you thought you could defeat me i am the dark lord oh no the dark lord's here and then but the dark lord also has a suspiciously sexy like snake girl

with him and she's like oh no my biggest weakness snake girls oh i hope she doesn't coil around me oh Oh, no, she's doing it. She's coiling around you and suffocating you. She's squeezing me so tight. Oh, God, how are you going to get out of this one? I'm going to let her squeeze me. Oh, man, some people have to pay for this. It's my finish.

That's it. That's the episode. It's the greatest 32 minutes you've ever watched. 32 minutes? It's a long first episode. That's true, yeah. It's a long first episode. I feel like that's the only voice I could do.

It's just like, my friends! Because everything else I could do is like, I could do like, old grunty be is like i can only do like uh yeah i can do like old grunty man but like i can only do i think you and i could be him like what you could be the old grunty man and i'd be like i don't know what these whippersnappers are up to but you won't find anything in the came of despair. What was that voice?

I don't know. That's what I was feeling. Like, yeah, you just go, came of despair. And they'd be like, what's wrong with him? Like, he just kind of grunts, occasionally says some got the grunts he does we should just make an anime I think we could make an anime it probably would be easy

it's easy we could do it all you gotta do is draw some stupid doodles and then you're fine it's easy you just whip open Microsoft paint do is draw some stupid doodles and then you're fine. It's easy. You just whip open Microsoft Paint. You know? Draw some stuff up. Yeah. Before you know it, we got ourselves

an anime. Not even worth worrying about. Yeah. Yeah, we'll do all the voices. We'll do everything. Are you kidding me? Watch out! Although our anime characters sound like the most annoying.

There's not one. You need a couple of those. Yeah, but the main character has to be like the character all the ladies want to bang the voice of. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's true. He's got to look a little effeminate but also his hair is really big oh yeah that's a hundred percent that's very true but yeah

paper if he's not like very skinny almost like a stick yeah but he has like a deep sexy voice like what is the point yeah what are we even doing because then he runs into the person who's like and they're just like god God, that guy's annoying. But he just keeps showing up in every episode. That guy's always like, he's just really annoying. He's always in the way. Like, yeah, I'm sorry. But he's like also slightly perverted.

Always. Yeah, it's like the Urkel vibe. Yeah, a little bit like Urkel. Just like, you know what? Is Steve Urkel anime? I think so. It's just like Cory in the House. Sometimes shows do just become anime.

You are right. You've never been more right, actually. Yeah. It's just like Cory in the House. Yeah, just like it. Just like it. Yeah. Well, speaking of anime.

Yeah? There'd be a lot of advertisements in our show. Right. Okay. I mean, that is the direction you could go.

Also, today we're brought to you by Babbel. Hey, summer's almost here. We are very close to June. And if you're planning a trip abroad or planning a trip, really, anywhere where you might need to speak a little bit of a second language. In fact, yo, absolutely true. This is a real story. I've been using Babbel to refresh in my Spanglish. And the other day out in front of our office complex.

So we, our office is both like a live and workspace. And so someone here, I don't know who, someone here has an Airbnb they rent out. And outside at the main gate, there was this family of like, I'm going to say six, I guess Mexican. They spoke full Spanish. So they did not understand a word I was saying in English.

And they were trying to figure out how to get into the building. And I was like, well, I can let you in, but I don't know what apartment you're in. And so I was trying to explain to them because I kept saying what apartment number, right? And I realized they didn't speak English. And the woman kept thinking number

as in like nombre. And so she kept saying her name to me. And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, was like no no no no no no numero uh apartamento and i'm like sitting there trying to like figure out how to explain to her and then she's like oh okay so we're in apartment 2br and then i realized what the problem was and i and i got to help them because they on their uh you know very english airbnb reservation. It said apartment to BR, but that just means two bedroom. Oh yeah. And I was like,

Oh, there's your problem. And so I was able to help him that way. And so we got to there because I, you know, was using my Spanglish. And so I felt really good about that. Babbel is the language learning app that sold more than 10 million subscriptions.

Yep. Where is this at? Oh, well, that explains why it's tropical. That is, it is in the southern tip of Japan. Oh, yeah, that explains why it's tropical. That is... It is in the southern tip of Japan. Oh, yeah, it is. Also, I've already found an amazing thing. There you go. Some sort of bear-based restaurant.

Yeah. Or polar bear-based restaurant, which is equally good. All the ice cream? I don't know what that is. There's bear faces on it. Yeah. What's sad is out front they have two bear mascots. One is a bear statue that looks really cute,

and one is a stuffed bear that looks so sad. So sad and decrepit, just like, bro, somebody needs to clean you. What is this? What is it, though? Ice shaved ice? I don't know what it is. I think so.

I mean, they got ice cream cones out there. It must be ice cream. But also the healthiest pizza I've ever seen. Yeah, it does. Like the pizza they have there, I'm looking at it. I'm like, that's the kind you get from like Weight Watchers.

Oh, yeah. it doesn't look real but also they have a guy who's straight up japanese hey arnold there oh my god it is it isn't even a stretch to imagine it it's just hey arnold japanese hey it looks like two hey ar Arnold characters molded together I guess you're right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and he's like hey come drink with me I mean I will I will do that yeah I would want to learn about him

oh my god there's wow there's I'm I've never heard of this part of Japan before but I guess I've never really focused on the southern island of Japan yeah they're always like Tokyo and like areas around tokyo like i just found the domino's pizza yeah i'm looking at that trying to figure out what they're serving here again all the pizzas literally look like they came from a like it just doesn't

look like any pizza i've ever seen in the history of pizzas. Again, it looks too healthy. The McDonald's looks like McDonald's, just slightly higher quality and happier. Like they draw a little animal face next to your Oreo McFlurry. Yeah, yeah, I believe that. Some sort of care was put into it. Yeah. What else is here? You got cake house apricot.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I found dominoes. All right. Look at the pizzas. Tell me any of those look even remotely like. Yeah, this is the very first image of the most vegetable

filled pizza I've ever seen. It really is. Yeah, wow, this looks so different. It looks like pizza looks healthy. Yeah. Oh my god. Driving me crazy. Actually, that's a lie. Then you scroll down far enough and you get to those weird You know how Domino's tries to do

things other than pizza and it's always a little gross? Yeah. It's one of those weird dominoes like meat sandwiches yeah stuffed with cheese i'm like okay well they still have that crap so yeah like the cheese stuffed everything yeah yeah no thanks i'm all right yeah yeah that's okay that is cool yeah Yeah. You know what? I think I could. I would love to go to Japan, but I need. Like, we could do Cox and Crandor Japan, but we need a person. Oh, yeah.

We would need somebody to help us. Yeah. If we had a guide to take us through Japan, I'd devote a whole week to just walking around Japan. Maybe two. I'd be like, screw it. Two weeks. Let's go. Let's go.

I'm like, guide. Take us around. Where are we going? What are we doing? Oh, my God. This is a Starbucks. It doesn't even look like a Starbucks. Yeah.

Look, the more you realize what basic bitches Americans are, the more you're just like, man. Like, look at that. Hold on. Look at that Starbucks.'re just like, man. Like, look at that. Hold on. Look at that Starbucks. It looks like a house. And there's like a happy bear with a mask on. Like, hey, Starbucks. What the hell?

Why do they have a happy bear mask? Wow. It straight up looks like a haunted mansion. It does. Where is this Starbucks? It looks like it's a Starbucks in the hills. And I'm so impressed with it. What the shit?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. This is crazy. What's crazy is their pastries also look like pastries that just didn't come from a wrapper. Yeah. Wait, what the hell is this? Hold on. They've got, like, little cakes and stuff. Look at that.

Is that even Starbucks? It's under Starbucks. What the hell is this? Are they like making the pastries or something? What is? What? What? No.

These are glasses. This is a sweatshop. What is this? Yeah, it's just a bunch of people working. Is this in the Starbucks? Maybe the Starbucks is located in a building that's made for something else. That's why it looks different. That's what I'm thinking.

Because, like, that's not a Starbucks. That is something. Hold on. There's a family gold mine. This building was originally constructed on the site offices of some sort of mine? It's hard to read. There's an inscription. So maybe it's...

There we go. They're selling those glasses, it looks like. Wait, what? They must be making glasses there. So they're making glasses to sell so the Starbucks gets you in, but the real business venture is these glasses. Yeah, I think so. Or like various cups.

Or they just share the venue? I don't know. Yo, I'm looking at the food that they have here. And it is, they have, like if you go to a Starbucks here in the States and you're like, I want a donut per se. They have one donut. Starbucks here in the States, and you're like, I want a donut per se. They have one donut. It's a vegan something donut that is in a plastic wrapper that they pull out and is like moderately fine to eat but not good.

Here, they have like different cakes. I'm looking at multiple flavors of donuts, waffles, cinnamon buns. They got like hot dog things, various scones and cranberry thing the one thing they have here that's similar to the states is during the holidays with this weird cranberry thing and they have that but like yeah everything else here looks like like the sandwiches do not even remotely look like the way the stuff wild why yeah oh that's crazy. Oh my god. That is cool. And everything's just happier.

Yeah. I wonder what music plays. Do you think it's the same like sitting in my car listening to the world pass me by. Do you think it's like that or is it something else? I hope it's like city pop. I think that would be perfect Starbucks.

Although I don't know why it would be perfect Starbucks. That would be pretty great. Although, I don't know why it would be City Pop. This place is in the middle of nowhere. That's true, too, yeah. It'd be a country pop. Yeah, I want country pop. Good old country pop. Yeah, good old... I don't know what country pop would sound like, but I kind of want to know.

I don't either. It might actually even be a thing. Who knows? Absolutely crazy. This whole thing is so goofy. Just, yeah. Wow. Who knew?

Here, look at these. They even drew, like, happy fruit. What's crazy to me is that on the cup, they drew happy fruit. And they left little messages in Japanese, I guess, unless that's a person's name. But that seems way too long to be a name. Yeah. That's very, very cute. I can't believe we went to Japan virtually and we ended up at a Starbucks.

I mean, they're everywhere. They are everywhere. That's true. Well, that's the weather. All right. Let's go to sports. Sports. Oh, boy.

Sports. We got a lot of sports happening. Currently in the NBA, we've got the playoffs occurring. The Eastern Conference Finals is Miami up 2-0 on Boston. Third game's tonight. And the other side, the Nuggets are up 2-0 on Boston. Third game's tonight. And the other side, the Nuggets are up 3-0 on the Lakers. So right now it's looking like Nuggets, Lakers, NBA finals, which is what I was actually hoping for. So I hope it is. Then in hockey, we have the Vegas Golden Knights up 2-0 on the Dallas Stars. And the Carolina Hurricane are currently down 2-0 against Florida.

So Florida's up 2-0 over there. Then in baseball, we got the Tampa Bay Rays in first place with the Orioles 2.5 behind. You got the Minnesota Twins in first. You got the Texas Rangers in first with the Astros two games behind there. Then in the NL East, you got the Braves in first. You got the Texas Rangers in first with the Astros two games behind there. Then in the NL East, you got the Braves in first. Then you got the Brewers in first with the Pirates a game behind.

And you got the Dodgers in first with Diamondbacks a game and a half behind with only 114-ish games to go. That's going to be close. It's going to be close. We'll see. But then you get to the end of the season, people are just like, dude, we're one game back. If we just won that one game back in May, we would have made it. You know what?

It shouldn't be like that, though. It shouldn't be that way. We're like, if only we had done that one game. It shouldn't be one game. Well, I mean, just win. Yeah, maybe we should win. just win idiots yeah and that's sports okay what is our fact of the day fact of the day okay um let's see uh Uh, uh, uh, uh. How's this one? Oh, God.

What do we got? Uh, uh, no, I don't like that one. I already knew that one. Uh, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Holding. Hold on. Holding. A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out.

What? Yeah. You know, at first I was going to say, what? But then I realized I've never seen that. Not even in a cartoon, unless there's a cartoon out there where a crocodile goes like, I've never seen that. So, not even in a cartoon, unless there's a cartoon out there where a crocodile goes like, I've never seen that. Yeah, plus, I feel like there's

no situation where it would need to, you know? You're right. You know what? You're right. Why would they need to? It doesn't have to lap up water or something. It's just going to eat. It's just like chomp. There you go.

Yeah, why on earth would a crocodile... You know what? You're absolutely right. Also, throwing in a bonus fact here. Okay. A jiffy is an actual unit of time. In a jiffy?

What is the unit? It is one one-hundredth of a second. Really? Yeah. Do you think it came first or second? Do you think the saying can be there in a jiffy, or did people start saying be there in a jiffy

because it was so quick? I think they said it because it was so quick. It was probably a thing they had, because everything has to have some sort of like, oh, what's one hundredth of a second? They're like, oh, jiffy. And then somebody saw that, and they'll be like, oh, I'll be there in a jiffy then.

I think it's the opposite. I think someone, they kept saying be there in a jiffy, and then when they started counting time in that quick of a time, someone was like, wouldn't it be funny if we call it a jiffy? Because I'm cynical. I'm a piece of shit i think there's no way people would you know they would do that because they thought it was funny is what i think yeah i see well i mean you either way of us could be right and i don't care enough to research it so yeah i'm not gonna look it up we'll just say we're both right there

oh my god that reminds me of the voice contest thing they were just like uh by the way there's no losers here everybody's winners and i was like yeah but you're picking three winners yeah three people actually gonna like maybe get a job off of this yeah yeah okay but everybody here's a winner it's like well that's not true uh yeah yeah okay they just say that Anyway, that's your random fact of the day. All right, well, what is our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day. Florida Man is back. And Florida Man makes big splash by setting record for living underwater.

Interesting. What is... Like, okay. You know what? I'm going to let you just tell the story. Joseph Ditteri plans to stay at a lodge for deep sea divers until June 9th, which would be 100 days underwater. Wow. A university professor broke a record for the longest time living underwater without

depressurization this week at a Florida Keys lodge for scuba divers. Joseph Detturi's 74th day residing in Jules Undersea Lodge, situated at the bottom of a 30-foot deep lagoon in Key Largo, wasn't much different than his previous days there since he submerged March 1st. Ditturi, who also goes by the moniker Dr. Deep Sea, ate a protein-heavy meal of eggs and salmon prepared using a microwave, exercised with resistance bands, did his daily push-ups, and took an hour-long nap. Unlike a submarine, the lodge does not use technology to adjust for the increased underwater pressure. The previous record of 73 days, 2 hours, and 34 minutes was set by two Tennessee professors,

Bruce Cantrell and Jessica Fane, at the same location in 2014. But Detture isn't just settling for the record and resurfacing. He plans to stay at the lodge until June 9th when he reaches 100 days and completes an underwater mission dubbed Project Neptune 100. His research includes daily experiments in physiology to monitor how the human body responds to long-term exposure to extreme pressure. Quote, the idea here is to populate the world's oceans, to take care of them by living in them and really treating them well. The outreach portion of Dettiri's mission includes conducting online classes and broadcasting interviews from his digital studio beneath the sea. During the past 74 days, he has reached over

2,500 students through the online class in marine science and more with his regular biomedical engineering courses at the University of South Florida. While he says he loves living under the ocean, there's one thing he really misses. Quote, the thing I miss that I miss most about being on the surface is literally the sun. The sun has been a major factor in my life. I usually go to the gym at five, then I come back out and watch the sun rise. The record is a small bump, and I really appreciate it, said Dettori. I'm honored to have it, but we will have more science

to do. So, I think that's really neat, but I'm messed up with the fact that I watched an interview where someone, it might have been one of those people you mentioned, was underwater in one of those deep sea kind of deals. And he was like, look, it's fine. Except when you have to go to the bathroom at night.

So at night you don't go, he's like, you don't go to the bathroom in the same thing that you stay in. You have to put on gear, leave the habitat, walk to a different area underwater on the seafloor, walk to a different area, go up into this thing where you can breathe and then you like poop into the ocean.

And he was like, yeah. So one time I was there and little fish when you go to the bathroom, little fish start picking at your butt and I'm like, I don't know, I like that. And he's like, I look out the window and I see a giant eye. And I was like, I don't know. I like that. I could not do that.

I couldn't. Yeah. Once I managed to get into that underwater sort of containment area, the hotel or whatever it is, I would stay in there. And you couldn't get me to leave until it was time to go home. Yeah. I would not partake in any of this. I don't want to be underwater. Yeah.

They were like, yeah, little fish come up and just nibble at your butt. And I'm like, no, no, no. Yeah.

No, thanks. I'm good. I'm all right. I like being able to see the sun. I'm fine. Yeah. Uh, that's, that's more of good. I'm all right. I like being able to see the sun. I'm fine. Yeah. That's more of a wholesome Florida man story instead of a crazy one.

So that's nice. He could go crazy. There's still time. He still has a few days. He could go crazy. We'll see. Fingers crossed. All right.
