Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. In 4 hour recording studio. Recording. Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of Cox and Crandall in the morning! Hey, you!

Is that the ghost of Podcast Pass? It is. Oh, what brave, terrible news do you have for us, ghost? You're allowed 600 tweets per day. I heard it was upgraded to a thousand because people were complaining to Elon and there are no rules actually. I don't know.

I didn't actually hit the limit because I closed the app and don't care to look at it. I actually did too. The minute I saw that it was limited, I was like, well, I want to see people respond to stuff, so I don't want to waste it scrolling through Twitter. So I guess I want to waste it scrolling through Twitter. So I guess I won't use Twitter.

And I'll be honest, the last 24 hours, I think I've logged in like three times. And it was just to see if anyone responded to anything that I posted. So if it was worth me responding to them, I could do so. Otherwise, I don't know if any of y'all out there are tweeting cool stuff. Because I am like, I can't go there. If I click it, then I'll lose the ability to even log in and then I can't post it. I have to post for my business. What a mess.

That is a mess. And it's also just it's just dumb. Like it. Like it. But they want you to upgrade to the verified Twitter blue or whatever. So you get like 6,000 views per day or I don't know. Yeah, no, I'm good. I'm not going to pay for the use of any social media ever.

It's just not going to happen. It's like, no, I'm all right. And then everyone else is just like, we're going to blue sky. I'm just like, dude, I don't care. I don't want to go. I've already been to blue sky, blue. And I'm just like, dude, I don't care. I don't want to go. I've already been on blue sky and my, uh, like I post when I post stuff on Twitter that I think is promotional,

but like, yeah, I am. I think we've said this before on this very podcast. If Twitter dies, that is my cue to just hand over all my social media to my team here at the office. It'd be like,

Kendra, you handle it. I don't want to look. I don't want to be on it. If something cool happens, tell me about it, and I'll go write a thing. But other than that, like, nah, I'm all right. That's the way to do it. Honestly, the only reason I've even looked at Twitter is for NBA free agency.

But even then, you look through, and then it would be like, sorry, you've reached your free agency limit. Yeah, well, then I just have to look elsewhere. Like, damn, that sucks. I will say I spend more time these days, even though I don't interact at all. I don't post much, but I'll go on Reddit. And like last night I was in bed watching the wholesome memes subreddit. You know, I'm feeling pretty good about it.

It was very wholesome. I watched a video where a bunch of British dudes called their dude friends and were like, hey, bruv, I love you, man. And they were like, what? Why are you calling me, bruv? And he's like, I just want to say it. They sing wrong, man. He's like, no, I just want to say it, bruv.

He's like, hey, man, I love you too. And I was like, it's so sweet. That's what I was watching. I did not expect that to be the thing you were doing. That's what I... I have moved on from the more dramatic elements of the internet, and I'm just kind of, like, over it. This guy posted a thing on Twitter where he was like...

I think his screen name was something like Salty Gamer or something. And he posted, I played Final Fantasy XVI for, like, an hour. I don't like it. And everyone was piling on to him, which, you know, an hour into a game, especially an RPG where most of that first hour is like cutscenes. You know, he didn't really

play the game, but... Well, I will say, I probably side more with him. And here's the thing, as I said, I actually think this is a fine take. Some people got on me too. They were said, I actually think this is a fine take. Some people got on me, too. They were like, Jesse, how could you?

But I think if you play a game and you're an hour in, no matter what that game is, like he didn't say it wasn't Final Fantasy. He didn't say it was trash. He literally just said, played it for an hour. Not for me. I don't like it. And he's right. You're totally okay to say that. And I was like, yeah, you know what?

Maybe instead of being a salty gamer, find a game you love and play that and be in bed by 10. Be like the well-rested gamer or whatever I said to him. And I was just like, that's a good way to go. And I think that's the wavelength I'm on right now. I'm kind of just, I don't want, I'm tired of fighting with people. I'm tired of people being like, I'm so upset. Like, well, then find what makes you not upset, dude. I don't got time for all this hostility, my man.

Your Twitter is like when TB would be on Reddit. He'd always be like, dude, you got to stop going on Reddit. And he's like, I am going to. And then he'd just be back there. He's like, I got this guy on Reddit to start fighting with me about. I was like, dude, you have to just stop going on Reddit. Yeah, I remember when he would hand his Twitter account over to Jenna, I think think and he'd be like i had to shut it down and get rid of it and then like a week later he'd be like tv no let it go man yeah it's just it's never worth it nothing's

gonna change nobody's gonna change anybody like it's just it's what it is and uh now here we go rewinding back to that guy right now here's here's how i know a game is not for me within the hour all right for example god of war all right i don't know i probably mentioned this here god of war i played like an hour and something and i just knew it wasn't for me because of the amount of cut scenes i pressed like one button that was my gameplay for an hour. And then people like, you just got to wait till it's literally reminds me of the shows like just to watch like 40 episodes. It gets good.

And I'm like, I don't care enough. And I already know I'm not going to like it because I'm not a big like story person. Like I think story is cool, but I'm not like super story. Like I don't want to watch cinematics in a game. I'll watch a couple, but I'm the guy who's like, cinematics hit, I'm spamming escape. Well, and that's a personal preference that you're totally right to have.

A great example is there was a game by the same team, I can't remember what the game was called, but it was by the same team that made the Kingdom games, which I think a new one is coming out, which is 80s themed. Oh yeah, I saw that. Which I'm very excited about. The 80s one where you're like a bike kid at camp. That's cool shit.

But they made another game. I think it was the same company because I'm going to put the blame on them for this. But Dodger and a bunch of other people that I knew were playing this and saying it was amazing. And they were all bombarding me in chat like, Jess, you got to play. And I was like, okay. So that's how to play it. I'm going to say 25 minutes in. I was like, nah, nah, this ain't for me.

I don't like the controls. I don't like the way it plays. I don't like what you're doing in it. And I just knew right away it wasn't for me. And I told chat as I was playing it, like, I'm not feeling it. And you're totally okay to do that with anything. You know, I didn't then go be like, this game is trash. And anyone who plays it doesn't know there's a difference.

I was like, it's not for me. And you're allowed to do that. And this dude online is totally allowed to do that. And that's fine. And people were just like, no, Jesse's wrong because he only played an hour. If you don't want to play any more than that, then that's his choice. Yeah. That's like if I'm just like, no, you don't like League of Legends.

You haven't played enough. Come on, let's go. Let's get it. Let's hit the rank queues up. We're going to make you like it. Yeah, I like TFT way more than normal League. Oh, I've been playing a lot of TFT lately. Yeah, and it's just preference. Like, League is whatever, but TFT I dig. And it's about what the game is versus, you know, like you just picked the wrong champion. Like, okay, sure.

Well, the problem with leagues, there's like so many, there's so many steps and it's a lot of learning. And you have to learn all the champions, how to counter the champions. It's like you're on a team. Everyone's yelling at each other, which still, even if I'm like, man, that grinds you out. There's still times I'm just like, but what if I just queue up? You know? That's my hardcore competitive part of me. I just love competitive things.

And then, TFT, however, you get a nice balance because you get the casualness of being able to chill, do something else while you're playing it, and kind of half pay attention, and then kind of focus in at points and then you can still be competitive like trying to do meta builds if you want or do whatever like the other day i was tft and i got to the top two and then i played some yasuo guy and i beat him like four times in a row to win and i was just like yeah because i was happy I beat the Yasuo. I've been there. There's been times where I've also been in that top two and just I was ahead by, I don't know, like 50 life or HP or points or whatever the hell it is.

And then some dude just had the comp that stomped me and he beats me like five times in a row and I just can't win no matter what. It happens. But I still find that compelling because there's a strategy element to it. It's the same thing like you like competitive stuff. I like, for example, remember how we played Age of Wonders, right? Right. Since we played Age of Wonders

4, I have gone through the entire story mode. If a video is rendering on my computer and I can't record anything, I'll just pop that bad boy on and sit there and play it a little bit and wait for the render to finish. You know, everyone has their preference. Some people like a driving game.

Some people like a farm sim. Some people play Barbie and have her racehorses. I don't know. Everyone has their own game. Right. I think you're more of like the casual strategy, you know, or like you don't want the like hyper intensive, like legal legend rank where you're just like, all right, I got to grind. Every single minion needs to die.

If I don't get I'm going to fall behind. And if I don't do this, I need to like, here we go. OK, we got to go check the bush. Don't check. Like, there's a lot to remember. Well, when you're kind of playing the turn based ones, you can kind of chill a bit. Yeah, I like stuff that is easy to learn, medium to master. You know what I mean?

I don't want to go in that weird thing where I'll watch League of Legend. I'll watch Street Fighter. But all those things are fun to play for me. But the minute it becomes competitive, I know for a fact that someone out there has put in more time and energy and effort to learn abilities and moves and strats and counters and whatever. And I simply, one, don't have the time, but also, two, let's be honest, don't care enough. And so I'll be like, I could learn to play this better, but I'm not gonna. And it sucks because I'll get frustrated with myself when I feel like I should be better

knowing in the back of my mind, Jesse, you put no effort into this at all. Like, you think you should be a better Heimerdinger, but my dude, you aren't. You will never be because you literally didn't learn anything except for how to, you know, I killed some guys in my lane. You never embraced the thing. You gotta

embrace the thing. Otherwise, you're not gonna fully do it. That's what I'm saying. That one season, man, I had 150 Heimerdinger games. That's when I got the plat. And that was it. I hit plat. My whole point of

doing intense ranked was I wanted to prove to myself I could get the plat. And then I did. And I was like, like alright I'm good just being gold from now on that was it well see and you needed to do that right for you you wanted to prove it me I my League of Legends career

is I won a game and was like I'm good I still remember that I never need to play that again I'm alright it's like me you and Dodger I think you played Nasus. Somebody played Nasus. It was a journey. Yeah.

I just need one victory to say, like, oh, I beat it. Okay. Don't have to do this again. This is like you with Elden Ring. You're like, I went around, explored the world. It was cool. That was all I needed. That really was all I needed was just explore the world.

And then I just had everyone else fight things for me. The computer fought things. Random people from chat would come in and fight. I only had to fight one thing, and it was myself in that one fight you have to do against yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was it. Everyone else beat the game for me. It was fantastic.

Yeah. And you had a great time. I'm sure everyone had a great time watching it. And that's part of the fun. Yeah. Or even that night, I was playing Street Fighter, and then you were like, I made my character. I started doing the story thing, and I was like,

you know what, I just want to go online and fight people. And then I did. Because my thing is, I know I'm not the best, but I want to be the best of the medium tier people. I get it. I understand. Yeah, that's all I want. I'm just like, if I can be better than the people at my skill level, then that's fine. Because once you hit

a certain point, you're like, oh, now we're getting into the sweat city. Then I'm like, I'm out. You're like the king of the intermediate tournament. I'm like the guy that comes into the gym who's playing basketball and beating everybody. There's actual athletes that come in. I'm like, nah, like nah i'm good i don't play against them

so it's too much though no thank you yeah no it's it's all about preference and what you want and what you want is to be the best of the absolute average exactly that's uh that's actually how i play warhammer like tabletop warhammer too I have like all my friends and they're like, everybody I play with is pretty cool. Like they're not really super competitive, but they're like competitive enough to where like every game is pretty fun. And they don't play like hardcore meta things. And if they do, they'll like tell you ahead of time so you can build something like a medalist or whatever. It's pretty fun. I've been playing the Warhammer 40k 10th edition. Are you actually playing playing? What's your army? What are you doing? Yeah, I have the full Necron army, full Orc army, and then I just

finished building my tier and it's... But like, what are you... You're actually playing? Yeah, I've been playing like actual tabletop Warhammer for probably like 2-3 years now. I mean, I knew normal War Yeah. I've been playing actual tabletop Warhammer for probably two, three years now. I knew normal Warhammer. I didn't know you were in the 40k-verse being

Space Marines or whatever. I played my first 40k game last year. I played Orcs, and I was like, alright, and half the reason because the Orcs get a Stompa, so I bought the Stompa and built it, And that's like half your army. And so it's just a big mech trash.

Wait, hold on. I was about to say, what is a Stompa? Yeah, look up the orc Stompa. Oh, boy. All right. Here I go to the internet. Orc Stompa. Yeah.

This thing is huge. This thing is ridiculous. I think it's literally $140. To be fair, for the size of this thing is ridiculous i think it's literally it's also 140 dollars to be to be fair for the size of this thing it's like pretty good value like there's some other models that cost like as much that aren't as big i love that there are a bunch of little dudes on this thing too which makes it even funnier yeah the grots they're all repairing it they're like working on it i love it it's actually really funny looking it basically looks like a uh kind of a giant orc robot in a dress yeah it pretty much is like made out of garbage all right i get why you would buy this this is quality right here this is quality so essentially every 40k unit is well just

both games in warhammer. They have a point value So you play a certain amount of points? So usually you play around 2,000 points and this thing is 800 points. So it's literally like half your army So but it's really good like it's got like eight different gun attacks. It's like hard to kill But it's so it's just more of a funny thing instead of like a super competitive thing, but I love it Uh, but it's, so it's just more of a funny thing instead of like a super competitive thing, but I love it. So I run that in my orc army and then, uh, I have a bunch of necrons. They're really good. And then I just built here and it's cause like nothing else interests me. And I've looked through everything. I don't like humans. All right. I mentioned it before. I'll

mention it again. Space Marines do nothing for me. In fact, I just go as far as say, I hate space Marines. My thing is I don't like humans and fantasy. That's always my thing, whether it's medieval fantasy, space fantasy, D&D, like that was my whole goblins thing in D&D. Hated humans. Like that just, it's my thing. And so

the other day I played... You hear it now. Ladies and gentlemen, Crandor hates humans. And so I played my Necrons against Space Marines and I won. It was a close game, but I ended up winning. But I love it. It's really fun just playing like

in real life because you get to play with all the things you built and painted and you get to play against other people and like the vast majority of people are actually pretty cool. You would think they'd be like but they're actually all pretty cool. Probably all like 45. This is what they do to get out of the house.

They're like, look, I gotta get away from the kids somehow. There's a blend of people because now there's been a lot of people getting into Warhammer stuff from Total War. Or a lot of people just reading the lore. Plus a lot of people from COVID started picking up miniature building and painting as a hobby.

So you could just be at home and do it. So it's actually been growing quite a bit. And now 10th edition came out, which is the new edition of 40K. And they fixed all the issues I had with it from when I played it a year ago. Oh, so this is like rulebook stuff then, not like new units? No, this is essentially like a new patch or like expansion type thing. Gotcha. So if you're actually like one of them players and you play,

then this is really a good time to be in it. 100%. Like they update the rules. They got rid of a lot of the bloat. There's so much bloat in 9th edition. It was dumb. They changed like some of the wordings and made things easier to read and simplify. Although some people, like other armies,

they're like, they ruined my army! Because they redid all the index cards and army rules. Some people are mad because their army... Pretty much, there's always going to be someone that's happy and someone that's really mad. That's just the way it goes. We've seen it in patch notes in video games for years.

But, they didn't ruin any of my armies, so I don't care. Whatever. Yeah, so what do you care? Yeah, but I mean, listen, I love rolling dice, and that's all you do. You just roll a bunch of dice, essentially. That's all these games are. It's fun. Hell yeah.

You know what? I'm glad you are enjoying. Yeah, I am. I'm definitely not sitting here looking at a bunch of little, like, I don't know what these little dudes are called. What are these? Like little tiny crumps? Crumps? I don't know what these guys are called.

Little tiny. They're not goblins. You mean the knobblars? little tiny they're not goblins you mean the knobblars I guess they're knobblars but like this dude is literally half a body and his legs are wheels and his arm

is a wrench and his other arm is a drill and it says dishes out painkillers and crumps to enemies oh yeah that's the I think that's a grot he's one of the mech grots I think I love this little dude I don't know what the hell he is but I love him he's cute yeah I think he's a grot. He's one of the mech grots, I think. I love this little dude. I don't know what the hell he is, but I love him. He's cute.

Yeah, I think he can, like, heal your thing. I haven't actually read what he does, but he's like a little mech grot. I think he might heal vehicles or something. I love it. I love how dumb a lot of those things are. They look very dumb. I absolutely get wanting to play an orc. I get it.

Yeah. Yeah, it's been fun because now instead of just Age of Sigmar and medieval fantasy type stuff, now I got more space stuff. But I don't have as many armies to build and collect, so now I can focus on painting them instead of

worrying about getting more. I love that's your next problem. Now I gotta paint these things. Damn. Once you get into the game, you have to build and then you gotta paint. A lot of times you just build stuff to play

with. You're like, alright, I got my stuff built and I can play the game with it. But then you have so much stuff that you don't have enough time to paint it all. So you end up just painting certain things or certain big stuff or little stuff or just slowly paint stuff throughout time. Then you get so many armies. You have so many different different paint projects now it's just like i got a lot that's why every time i'm like i got all these armies and someone will be like are they painted

and i'm like no but i actually do have a decent amount of stuff painted all right yeah love it well uh i have i i brought for you dear sir two amazing stories this week all right because my life has been blessed with some real gems that i uh i just wanted to share with you all right let's hear it so earlier, I'm coming back. I had to take my car in to get repaired. So I'm coming back from the dealership. And I'm just on a random street driving through L.A. And my windows are down because, you know, like I just was – it was like a day that was kind of hot but not like hot, hot. And it was nice and it smelled like summer.

And I just had the windows down. And usually I don't. So I feel like I'm missing out on a lot. But window down. And next to me, guy loudly listening to something in his car. Right? I couldn't tell what it was. So I tried to keep inching up closer to him so I could figure out what the hell he was listening to.

Right. And it was some audio track with weird-ass, like, right? And then a voice in the car. I swear to you, I don't know if it was his voice. I couldn't see this dude's lips. But the voice was saying, I wrote this down. I can't even read it. All right. I am the car.

The drive is in me. I am the car. And it kept repeating in the back. It was like my I was like, what the hell is happening? And I kept trying to inch closer to see this dude because I couldn't tell what the hell is happening?

And I kept trying to inch closer to see this dude because I couldn't tell what was going on. And it was so loud and his windows were down. So he's blasting this. I couldn't get close enough. He drove off. And now all I have is questions. All I wrote in my phone was WTF. I don't know what happened. I don't know who that guy was. I don't know what happened.

I don't know who that guy was. I don't know where he was going. I don't know the purpose of it, but all I know is that he was in a gray Mazda. So if there's someone in LA driving a gray Mazda and you do this, you gotta hit me up on social media somewhere. I couldn't believe it. So this was like

the song, right, that he was listening to. It wasn't him saying that. That's the thing I don't know. So the music that I heard blasting was like that. That's what I heard. And then a voice was saying,

I am the car. The drive is was saying, I am the car. The drive is in me. I am the car. The drive is in me. And I don't know if this was a motivational tape this guy was listening to or some sort of calming exercise. Or if this was the man in the car loudly saying, I am the car the drive is in me, I am the car. I

it sounds like it'd be a motivational exercise. Like it sounds like something where they're at like a big almost like a cult. It's super cult. I wrote down listening to weird cult music. That's the way I described it. And he's just like sitting there like, I am the car.

The car's in me. I am the car. The car's in me. The only thing I think of was maybe it was one of those like, get the drive to fulfill your dreams. Like that kind of thing. Right. That's the best I could do. But we're in the middle of traffic.

And so it's just a double weird, like, I am the car. I was like, uh-oh. We're in full LA now. It's like, I'm trying to, like, piece it together of what this could mean. So, like, I guess if it is motivational, right? He is the car. Yeah.

So he is the car. He is a vehicle for himself, I guess. I don don't know that's what i'm saying he's a vehicle for his soul and the drive is in him and that's and so he's trying to unlock his horsepower his mental horsepower that's what it's got to. He is the car, the vehicle for his soul, and the drive is in him to propel himself to do the things he needs to do. That's, I guess that's what it is. It was very weird. I just wrote it down and the minute I parked, I was like, all right, remember everything I can about that. That was so weird. That's one thing. And then get ready for this. This is equally good. Okay.

So I'm leaving my apartment and my apartment has kind of like a courtyard. And because I'm one of those psychopaths who always wants to be like on the highest floor for all sorts of different weird, I'm sure, psychotic reasons. But so the courtyard lets you see down. You can see all the other floors. And the floor beneath me, there's a man waiting for the elevator. And I see him bobbing up and down, like doing like a pee dance, holding his junk. This man must have been, I'm going to say 55. I was like, okay, this is a little weird.

And I press the button for the elevator. Elevator comes up to me. Ding. I get in. Elevator goes down, stops at the floor below me. I'm like, oh, no. Door opens. Man is standing there bobbing up and down, holding his junk.

And I'm like, hey, man, you okay? And he shouts to someone, hurry, hurry, I gotta go. And he's shouting to someone down the street. I'm like, hey, man, you okay? And he looks at me and he goes, man, I got a shit and piss so bad. And my wife and kid went back to the car and they have the keys and I'm gonna burst like I got a shit right now. keys and I'm gonna burst like I got a shit right now. So then

he hears something. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but he hears something from downstairs and he gets in the elevator with me. So now I gotta go down to the bottom floor of this dude who literally is like I'm gonna pee everywhere! He's like in pain.

So I'm terrified. I'm gonna be's in pain. So I'm terrified. I'm going to be stuck in this elevator when this guy just bursts. So the elevator is going down, and he's rocking to the point where the elevator is sort of shaking, which is getting me feeling weird. And he's doing shimmies, and he's holding his junk, and he's like, my insides feel like they're going to blow. I'm like, cool, man. Again, reminder, this is, I'm going to say, minimum 55-year-old white guy, bald, wrinkly. Like, not, I'm saying 55 is a minimum.

I don't know. He could be 70 for all I know. And he's just jiggling and shaking. And we get to the doorway, like the bottom floor, so we can get out. And the door pops open. And he says loudly into the street, Sharon! Sharon!

I need the keys! And this little kid runs down the street jingling keys, and hands them to this guy. And I still have to go down one more floor to the parking garage. He's holding the door open. Mind you, the elevator has one of those things where if you hold the door open too long, it goes, meh. Like, it buzzes you to close the door. And then after a certain amount of time, it just auto starts closing. So now, meh, it goes, like it buzzes you to close the door. And then after a certain amount of time, it just auto starts closing. So now it goes off and this little kid's jingling the keys.

This kid might be three. I don't know. He's running down the street jingling. And the kid's like, come on, come on. The man's like, come on, come on, hurry. And the kid is like, his little feet are going as fast as he can and the door now starts to auto close it's auto closing on him and he's shaking and jiggling his own junk and the kid's just on the keys and i'm sitting there's like a sitcom segment or something i'm

telling you i'm sitting there just like i still have to go down one more floor what the hell so the kid finally gives him the keys, and the man is fighting to hold the doors open. He gets back in. He's like, oh, thank God. And he presses his floor again, and the elevator goes down. He looks at me like I've sentenced him to death.

I was like, what are you? What? He's like, I don't know that I'm going to make it. And my door opens, and I just walk to my car, I don't know that I'm going to make it. And my door opens and I just walk to my car. I don't know what happened to him. I hope he made it. I don't know. But the man, the man, he goes, I don't know that I'm going to make it.

He said it was such a complete loss. Like he had failed. Like he was already peeing himself. He was like, I don't think i'm gonna make it i got out of there immediately i was like that was a good choice oh my god it's like an old time war movie the worst part is is i know this man because there's been multiple times where I've seen him and his family. I don't know if he has an extended family that lives in the apartment with him or people come on the weekend to hang out with him.

But for many, many times that I left my apartment, he and like a woman, who may be his wife or his daughter, I don't know, and then a group of kids are with them. And it is always awkward. All the kids look like... I'm trying to think of a way to describe them, but

you know how when you see a bunch of really rich kids, and you know there's something a little off about them because they've only known luxury their entire this that's the vibe i see okay that's the vibe and they always get in the elevator and i always have this weird attitude about like can't it go faster papa like that kind of stuff but i'm just like but i just sit there and pretend like i'm typing on my phone so I don't have to even interact with these people. Oh, yeah, the classic go-to.

Yeah, and I guess now that's part of my interactions with them. That man and I know what happened to him, and I don't think the rest of his family does. So next time I see them, he and I might look at each other like we were in war together. What we saw no one could ever know about yeah you just like show up and just act like nothing happened i hope he made it there's been times where i've been on the road trying to get back home and i've been in the exact same be like i don't know i don't know man so i've been there i've yeah i've had it for that one time. I thought my bladder was going to burst. That was terrible.

I don't know if I can say this about all people, but I think most men especially have done that. I could hold it and then regretted every choice they've ever made. It just starts hurting to move. It's like I just can't move every bump in the road. It's like your body is like trying to get it out. You're like, no body can't move. Every bump in the road. It's like, oh. Your body's like, I'm trying to get it out, and you're like, no, body, no. I'm gonna fight you on this.

It's like, I don't think you should, bro. It's, everybody's been there. Everybody. Yeah. I felt for that man. I felt for that man, but there's nothing I can do. It's like, I gotta get to my car, my dude. I don't know what to tell you. Yeah. I like to think he made it.

That's your version of like, he's at a farm upstate and everything's fine. There's a lot of times I'll do that. Something like crazy is going on. I'm like, I just like to think it worked out. Even if it didn't.'s hey okay yeah uh that reminds me of like you ever just you ever pretend you're doing something to like ignore so okay so for example sometimes if there's like two cars you're

like at a crosswalk or something i'll like pretend like i'm looking at my phone like oh do i go this way or that and i'll let the cars go and then there's no cars and I'll cross instead of like actively just crossing because then I'm like, what if this car starts like going and then I gotta like run across. I'm just like, oh, whatever. Oh, no, I don't do that. But in order to avoid

interactions or to seem like I'm busy so I don't have to sit there in dead silence like in an elevator, for example, because I don't, you know, there's some people on elevators who are like, hey, how's it going? I just sometimes don't want to talk to people. So I'll pull off my glasses and give them the old clean

and I'll like, you know, look around like I'm blind right now. I can't really see you to talk. Yep. Cleaning my glasses. Alright. Ooh, look at that. There's a smudge still. Gotta start cleaning them again. Yeah, and for some reason, it always finishes just when the doors open

when I need to leave. Oh, yeah. I'm like, alright, and I just go have a nice day. That's it. Or, uh, I'll do that sometime when I'm, like, gonna go down an aisle at the grocery store and there's just, like, a bunch of people there and I'm just like, oh, no, I didn't want to go down that aisle. I want to go down the other aisle. Oh, okay. But then you, like, wait a bit. I'll do that down the aisle i want to go down the other aisle okay but then

i'll do that down the aisle halfway waiting for all the people to move and i'll just start looking at products that i'm definitely not gonna buy like oh yeah like yeah yeah i did actually want to stop right here at the women's hygiene section yep yep that's what i wanted yeah yeah you gotta do that it's like hmm, hmm, maybe I could use some of these. Yeah. And then sometimes you have to do that like, well, nothing I want here. They're still taking a long time.

Guess I'll just scoot a little. Just move already. I'm trying to be polite. Let's go. I did that with Father's Day. I was getting a card for Father's Day, and there's people just looking at, like, the one section. So I'm just like, oh, yeah, let's see. We got a, yep, we got a wife for husband Father's Day. We got son, wife for, like, I'm looking at all these, and then the ones I just wanted were, like, son for dad.

Or, like, then I'm just like, all right, okay. Oh, look at that. We got funny funny father's day that could be interesting then like after a while they just like walk away i was like you like just dart in yeah it's it is weird that in order to avoid making a scene you put up with a lot of stuff yeah and yet there's still some people who love making a scene and i just don't get it i'm like i go out of my way not to cause a problem yeah and there's some people who just dive problem first in they'll just walk over be like excuse me i'm trying to look at these cards if you could just step out of the way thank you like those people or they'll just like forcibly like be like i'm like bump into you to to get there. You get a lot of those.

Yeah, and it's, I'm gonna say a little much. A little much. I don't mind waiting. It's fine. Yeah. Or sometimes I'll go walk somewhere else and come back and be like alright, now is it good? Nope, okay. Let's see. Anything else I need to look at?

I had two things I wrote down. Okay. So one of them was I was going to get a tea. I was like, all right, I'm going to go get a tea at this place. All right. It sounds good. Like a nice, relaxing tea. Like a hot tea or an iced tea?

It was like a hot green tea. Okay. And you ordered it there or you were like getting baggies? So I was just going to go pick it up. I'm like, all right, that sounds good. So I'm going and outside, like a couple doors down is this guy that looks like he's on drugs,

like 100%. And I was just like, okay. And he's just standing by a door and he already like was looking at people walking by. And I was like, this dude's going to talk to me, isn't he? You just know. And so he kind of looked like Eminem. If Eminem wasn't a famous rapper, just like a drug addict instead.

So he's just standing there. Okay. And I'm just walking and i'm like i'm like don't make eye contact just keep rolling i start walking by and of course he's just like hey man can i ask you a question and i was like no i'm pretty busy i like as fast as i was like no i'm pretty busy sorry i was like walking by he's like i don't want no money and then that was all he said and i just walked i went into the place i got my tea and then walking back i just had to walk by him again and i just walked by him he didn't say anything

so i was like all right we're good but that got me thinking i was like if he doesn't want any money what is he gonna ask me that's what i'm saying like that doesn't make it better him i would rather he asked me for any money is even more worrying Yeah, I would rather ask me for money But instead like what's he gonna ask me like can I get a ride or like what's your opinion on some like? Listen, I don't want to know anything Absolutely yeah, I was like It was he definitely seemed like the type of guy like,

yo, can you just give me a ride down there or something? I'd be like, Nope, definitely cannot. Oh man. Where were we? We were coming back from some event we were going to,

and there were a bunch of us in the car and we were like, yo, let's go to a drive through. I think it was like Wendy's drive through. And I was like, damn, I haven't had Wendy's in forever. Yeah. I want chicken yo, let's go to a drive-thru. I think it was like Wendy's drive-thru, and I was like, damn, I haven't had Wendy's in forever. Yeah, I want a chicken sandwich. Let's go. So we're in the drive-thru,

and a dude walks up to us as we're in the drive-thru, and he's like, hey, guys, do you give me two hamburgers? And we're sitting, like, what are we, we're sitting there. There's a car in front of us, a car behind us. We cannot move. And this guy is standing right at the order box.

Can you buy me food? What do you do in that situation? If you say no, you are trapped with this man. I was like, this is unfair. That is unfair, yeah. So we were just like, yeah, man, we'll get you two hamburgers. And then we get him these two hamburgers, and we ask to have them in separate bags so we can hand them to him.

He's waiting for us at the place where you exit the drive-thru lane. Oh, yep. We hand him the burgers. He looks in and goes, Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers isn't what I wanted. And we assume that bacon would be cool for this guy. No, he was pissed. Listen, if you're trying to get free food because you're hungry, you can't be picky. Yeah, well, he was.

Well, he was. He's acting like one of those kids in the elevator. Like, oh, I do a little baking on my cheeseburger. Like, listen, you're getting free food. Yeah, take off the bacon. We got it for you because it was the cheapest thing on the menu we could get you. Yeah. And there would have been people that didn't even buy him anything. You were nice enough

to do that. Yeah. We gave you $2 worth of hamburgers. You should be very thankful. Yeah. You could get $2 worth of hamburgers. I'd be thankful. Yeah, man. Dude. If I was hungry and you gave me two cheeseburger cheeseburgers, I would be like, sir, if you need me, whatever you need, you have my axe.

I will go to Mordor with you, bro. I got you. Then he just drives away like, please leave me alone. So, yeah, that happened. Then we went for our weekly breakfast. All right. We actually didn't go last week. so it was our other weekly breakfast. And there's a table next to us eating.

And I think it was some work interview thing, or new employees talking to each other. For the restaurant? Not for the restaurant. They have business meetings at breakfast, and people are like get breakfast right so yeah okay so it was like one of the well they were just like you know we're working on this this like athleisure clothing and they're like we're proud to have you on the team like that type of thing oof you know they're just like let's get breakfast done they're just like you know we really like your vision and then the guy the the thing that really made me talk about this was he's like, you know, I just I appreciate you.

And, you know, I got my minor in leadership. And I was like, hold on. He got his minor in leadership. This man went to school, went to college and decided that he would get a degree in leadership. And I was just like, what are the, okay. What is an entire semester of

learning how to be a leader? That's, I mean, that's more than a semester, my man. You're getting a degree in leadership? That's, well, yeah. That's an entire, that that's like i don't understand i was trying to piece together how much you can learn about being a leader like i feel like you could probably learn a bunch about leadership just from reading books in the store or just like

life experience you don't need to go to school to learn how to be a leader you probably learn a couple things but like to make it your entire focus, I don't know. Now he knows. Now he knows the power of leadership. Now he knows. I mean, he seemed like a friendly guy. Maybe he does know how to be a leader. Yeah, maybe that's the factor. The real trick there. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. Maybe I'm judging. I mean, I am judging. I judge

a lot, but sometimes I'm able to be like, hey, you know what? He might be a good leader. I'm just making fun of him for no reason. I mean, he did get your attention. Yeah. I mean, I've just never heard of anybody doing that.

There's got to be. Let's see. Minor. In leadership. I mean, I guess I got a degree in education. So, you know, my master's is in education. So, leadership degree? I mean, they exist. I'm looking at them right now.

Well, I know they exist. Otherwise, he would have said he had one. Otherwise, I'd be like, this guy's crazy. Made it up. Although this right here sucks. What is a leadership degree? An organizational leadership degree is an academic program that focuses on developing effective leaders. That tells me nothing about what it is.

Yeah. There's got to be something that actually says what it is. Like the Stanford Leadership Program tells me nothing about what it is. Evolve as a leader. What does that mean? Evolve as a leader? What kind of leader? Yeah. Okay, we have

What are leadership degrees good for? Time management, problem solving, planning an organization, motivating individuals with different backgrounds. Sounds like a lot of BS to me, but I guess that's the point. Okay, we have, this

is from Illinois University. Why you should consider the leadership studies minor. Here we go. The leadership studies minor was not one I thought I'd be studying when entering my freshman year of college. I thought my minors would be something related to business, which still remains true. That sounds like it is related to business. The minor has brought many benefits to my future career.

OK, the leadership study minor is a 17, 18 credit hour minor with four required courses, two elective courses to select from. courses, two elective courses to select from. It typically takes three to four semesters to complete. What the? Minor goes into depth into areas of social psychology, philosophy, organizational development, and administration, communication, and educational theory. What?

So it's just psychology, philosophy. So literally it's completely separate classes you can take just, you know, without having to like minor in something. And then I guess organizational development and administration. I mean, I guess that's like a good business leadership thing. I guess. Really, it just seems like it's how to manipulate people into following what you want and then getting them to do it and managing how they do it.

It definitely sounds like that, yes. That's what a lot of leaders do. Yeah, really, yeah. I mean, and then educational theory? What is educational theory? Like, how, like, learning? I guess how people learn and what ways people learn. You know how there's, like, some people learn by doing, some people learn by reading some people learn by by like touching stuff or hearing things that kind of stuff yeah

i feel like that would just tie into psychology 100 yeah but it's it's you know specifically focused on retention i would assume of facts and figures and information yeah okay all right i mean uh this is it's pretty much what i thought it's just it's one of those things where i just if you're really like man i want to get this i need to become a leader like it just feels it just feels weird i don't know it does feel weird but i want to talk to someone you know how there are people who go to school and their major is something like 18th century fine arts. Why did you pick that specific?

What are your career prospects there? I want to meet someone who majored in leadership. Like what do you do for a living now? We got to have somebody like we have, we have thousands of listeners. One of them has to have done some sort of leadership thing. I would love it. If someone majored in leadership and was like,

actually, I run several companies now and I would be like, that's amazing. Tell me more. Gary, there's already somebody that's just like, these idiots don't understand the amount of effort and work that goes into it. Like, I don't. All right? I play video games on the internet. Yeah, I'm no leader.

Yeah, I'm not a leader. Are you kidding me? I want someone to boss me around. I'm here for it. Let me know. Let me know what's up. I'm here to just yell out my dumb opinions and observations and then some of them work out that's what i'm here for yeah i'm actively looking for a woman who will boss me around just like hook me up you need something i want to be a

leadership degree yeah i want to like wear short shorts and like welcome home honey like i got it you let me know yeah if like Like, I'm telling you, if it's a woman with a leadership degree, it might be your best bet. That might be the one. You're right. She knows. Yeah.

It's like generalized Kenny G. Right, right. Copyright free Kenny G. Yeah, so it's, you know how they have that channel on cable TV, or at least they used to, or you'd put it on, and it was like just showing the radar, and it would just show temperatures. Yes, I know.

Yes. Yeah, that's like what my parents would always have on. They're like, storm's coming. They just watch it? Yeah, they would just watch it, and then they're like, storm's coming. They just watch it? Yeah, they would just watch it and then they're like, I like the music. My favorite part of this is that your parents would sit there and it would be like

18 inches of snow incoming. Brace yourself. Do not go outside. Do not drive to the background. It's like, Oh, that was the best part. It would be like severe storms in your area. Get inside and they'd be like ooh and it'd be like I love that. Floods will rise.

Small animals will drown. Get inside. Close your doors. Put sandbags against all seals. Then it'd just be like oh the good old weather channel days yep yeah so i was just listening to that and honestly some of those songs are bops like they're true bangers it explains your musical tastes a lot actually yeah like straight up. I went to the one, if you just search weather channel music or weather scan music, you'll find all of it.

One dude literally time stamped and named every song. Amazing. They got some great names. One's 10% chance of rain. One's lows in the mid 80s. One's a tornado warning has been issued for your area that's amazing yeah it's fantastic and some people are just like dude anyone else just getting nostalgia from listening to this when it was on the tv and they're just like yeah i remember listening to this when there's thunderstorms we just have this on. So you got to put it on.

You're just like, and then you see the storms coming through and you just hear the. I just want to say, if you're under 20, you missed out on some just real, real good memories. You'll never know what it's like to sit there and be like, what's the weather like? Turn on the TV. to sit there and be like, what's the weather like? Turn on the TV. Yeah, listen, I mean, everybody's always going to be like, oh, my generation was better than the previous

one, but I don't know. There's definitely some generations. I think they wish they grew up when we did. It was somehow a simpler time. We had had technology but not like world ruining technology yet exactly we didn't have it like constantly connected to us that's the big problem everyone's got their their ipads their phones their mobile computer like if you wanted to go on the internet you got to go home and go on your house computer go to a library go on the computer

uh or like boot up up your video game console, attach to your TV, or take your eight-pound Game Boy out. So it was just like a task to get the internet going. And then once you did, you're like, oh, this is great. But now it's just expected, right? Like your dopamine receptors are fried.

You're just kind of constantly attached. It's not good. You know what is good, though? Wah, wah. Wah, wah, wah, wah. It is. Dude, just listen to it. Put it on one night, and you'll be like, damn, this is great.

Invite some friends. Throw a party. Invite some friends over. Throw a party. Put on the music and let everyone just dance the night away. Listen, if you went through the Great Depression, I guarantee they'd rather be living through the Weather Channel music. You get me?

You're not wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see. Yeah. One hand, Great Depression. On the other hand, you know. They'd be like, my family split four grapes between 16 people, and you live in a miraculous world where music and weather fuck you on TV?

We've come so far. Cloudy skies, low 73 degrees. How do they know? What wizardry is this? The satanic end times are coming. Man, your battle stations. That's the traffic. All right, let's go on sports.

We didn't even do the weather. Weather, sorry. We talked about weather so much, you thought we already did the weather. Honest to God, yes, that's what I thought. Even though you said that's traffic, my mind was like, you thought we already did the weather. Honest to God, yes. That's what I thought. Even though you said that's traffic, my mind was like, well, we've talked weather. Well, now we are going weather. We got a weather request for Aarhus, Denmark, a town that used to be a Viking settlement.

It also has a cozy greenhouse dome cafe by the harbor. Is Aarhus, Denmark, Aarhaus? Is that what that means? I feel like Aarhaus would be like H-A-U-S. This is H-U-S. Aarhus translation. I'm looking it up. City of Smiles. Well, that's

way off. That's way off. Currently in the City of Smiles, 53 degrees. Part partly cloudy skies rain expected 415 AM high 63 feels like 49 this is just like I'm doing

through the streets and it looked kind of like what you would imagine every city in Denmark looks like. But what's crazy is the first restaurant I clicked on is 100% the Cox and Crandor restaurant. Look at this place. It has a name I couldn't even pronounce.

Sivni 13? Is that what that's called? Sivni 13. Oh my god. Yeah. The dishes look like art, but also at the same time, I'm looking at what appears to be a taco shell. It's like nothing with like, I don't know what's even in that taco.

Yeah. It's like a Scandinavian cuisine, but I don't know what I'm looking at. It's like wild greens, uh, some berries or something. I don't know what I'm looking at. Looks like wild greens, some berries or something. I don't know what that is. Like an orange slice?

Everything at this place looks, I'm looking at something that served in a seashell. Look at this other thing. Oh, yeah, I see this. I don't know what it is. It's something in a cone, but I guess it's made fish eggs. I don't know what I'm looking at with half these dishes, but I'd eat that. I'd eat it too. It's something in a cone, but I guess it's made fish eggs. I don't know what I'm looking at with half these dishes,

but I'm like, I need that. I need it too. It looks great. Yeah. Yeah. It looks crazy. But also the business itself looks like an art dealer. Oh, yeah. The outside of this business does not look. It looks like an art dealer in London,

not a restaurant. Oh my God. Yeah, that is so crazy. so crazy i thought you're gonna when you said a cox and crendor place i saw this it was the jumbo bakery i was like i looked down the jumbo bakery well you know what i like this place too any good bakery hell yes oh yeah it looks pretty good this is, this is an extremely Scandinavian bakery because I'm looking at what appears to be a piece of bread cut in half and then just pieces of cheese thrown next to it. And I'm like, ah, okay. Oh, yeah. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that's Scandinavian. And you just throw some fish on there. Yeah. Smoked salmon or something. Everything will be fine, I guess. Yeah. But all the bread looks like real ass bread. I'm like,

okay. I like that. Love when the bread's real. And not whatever the hell we get sometimes. Oh, this breakfast sandwich looks good. Okay. Okay. Big fan. They got some nice stuff. There's a place called Sharks.

Nope. Not a fan. I called sharks nope not a fan well there you go i see it not a fan although it does look like a 1950s diner so maybe i go yeah this is like the america it has an nfl wall oh it's the most american thing i've ever seen oh my god america this is they have hines ketchup and stuff oh yeah oh this is the place where they go like, we're just like Americans. I promise you. It's better. Whatever you're doing, it's better than what they have. Like a shoe wall. No, no, no. You're doing better than us, guys. They have like a pinup girl on the glass, like a pinup diner girl. I'm looking at a dish right now that is multiple strips of bacon layered over a salad. And I'm like, all right, all right. Yeah, you're pretty spot on. And they got the curly fries there.

There you go. They got nachos. Hell yeah. Yeah, milkshakes. All right. I would go here just to experience what they think. This is like when I was in England and I got the American platter and it was all fried food.

And I was like, ah, right. Okay. Yeah, it's like the American food, but like in a well-presented way. Yeah. Not like the actual, like, grease it up. Grease

it up. Grease it up. Yeah, they got a big shark head. Look at that. Looks good. Yeah. And that's the weather. All right, let's go to sports. Sports. Oh, boy.

Sports desk. We had the NFL draft happen. The Blackhawks drafted Conor Bedard, the next generational hockey player. So that'll be fun getting to watch him. We also had a bunch of NBA trades going on, NBA free agency hitting. Damian Lillard probably going to get traded. There's a whole bunch of stuff going on. I love watching all the offseason stuff.

It's fun. And then we've got NFL hard knocks updates. Oh, here we go. Yes. we've got NFL hard knocks updates. Oh, here we go. Yes.

Uh, apparently the jets are looking like the team that is going to be on hard knocks. Well, well, well, yeah, they said it's becoming one of those things where the jets are now bracing for an involuntary hard knocks assignment.

I can't believe that's a thing. Guys, we don't want this. You're going to do it. So it's, I'm glad. That's going to be a fun one. I'm excited. So that's great. And then over in baseball, we're approaching the All-Star game.

I think next weekend or next week sometime is the All-Star game. Currently got Tampa Bay Rays in first. Minnesota in first. Texas in first. Atlanta in first. Cincinnati, Milwaukee tied in first. And the Diamondbacks in first.

And that is sports. Okay, what is our fact of the day? Fact of the day. Fact of the day. Fact of the day. Fact of the day. Good song. Good song. Oh, man. If you're looking for a fact of the day, did you know

that spam is the combination of spice and ham? I mean, I do now. Spam? Like, actual product spam. Yeah. I mean, I do now. Spam? Like actual product spam. Yeah. I mean, it's like ham bits, right? Yeah.

It says, this is one of those interesting facts you probably thought you knew but actually didn't. Contrary to American mythology, spam is not an acronym for scientifically processed animal matter or shoulder of pork and ham. It is spice and ham. Which, I guess... Is that like a retcon? Did the spam corporation change this? Like, we add spices to our ham. It's definitely not those other things

you may have heard about us. Yeah, I don't know. Let's see. Spam turns 80. According to the company's Spam Museum. Okay, maybe this is some propaganda. Ken Dignow, the brother of a Hormel executive, came up with the name Portmanteau Word for Spiced Ham in a naming contest and got $100 as a reward.

The new product was introduced in 1937 on July 5th. Okay. So I guess there you go. Yes, it is. There you go. Look at that. An actual interesting fact of the day, I told you. All right.

Well, what is our big news story of the day? Here we are. Big news story of the day. A small-style handbag tinier than a grain of salt sold for five figures at auction. Okay. All right. What incredibly rich idiot bought it? Let's find out.

A tiny knockoff Louis Vuitton handbag sold for $63,750 at auction earlier this week. The green bag, made by New York-based art collective MSCHF, measures in at 657 by 222 by 700 micrometers. Oh, I hate this. I want to go look it up. It is a little tiny green bag that is 0.03 inches wide. Stop.

It is so tiny it fits on the ridge of someone's fingerprint. Yeah, that is so weird. The bag was on display in Paris earlier this month mounted under a microscope. On display? Sure. Sure. It acts as a commentary on the impracticality

of ever shrinking luxury handbags. I think the bag is a... I mean, I guess some women would probably agree with that, that a lot of bags which used to be designed to hold stuff are now aesthetic instead of actually being for something. Yeah, I can see that.

Alright, that's... Fair enough. It's ridiculous, but... It's like an art piece. It's making a statement. A very tiny, unseeable statement i think bag is a funny object because it derives from something rigorously functional weisner said but it has basically become jewelry mschf was made has made waves in recent years for a number

of unusual creations such as its big red boots and it's satan shoes with lol nas x i absolutely know those big red boots yeah the oh the ones that look like uh i don't know some sort of it's like a cartoon yeah like yeah i'm trying to think of what kind of like astro Boy or some shit, yeah. Yeah, it's weird. I see those. What the shit? And then... Interesting. Okay. The microscopic handbag was sold at Jupiter at an auction house founded by Louis Vuitton

men's designer and music producer Pharrell Williams. Well, of course. Weisner told the Times that the art collective hadn't asked for permission to use the Louis Vuitton logo or design. Then we had, we are big in the ask forgiveness, not permission school, said Weisner, whose art collective has dealt with legal issues over some of its pieces.

Pharrell loves big hats, so we made him an incredibly small bag, he said. Cool. Cool. Yep. So cool. So cool. People have so much money they can spend it on a literal, almost non-existent thing. Just being like, yeah, I want that in my house somewhere. Now it's mine.

Put it under a microscope in my home. Yeah, that's just, I mean, maybe he really wants it you know maybe maybe maybe this is like his most exciting purchase ever or he's just like that sounds cool by it then i must have it yeah yeah i uh i'm not gonna give the person's name and i may have said this story already on the show which oops i don't know but uh a good friend was saying that one time he was invited over to a very wealthy person's house. And while he was there, this dude, all he wanted to show him was his golden GameCube. It was like a solid gold GameCube, custom commission. And the goof is he can never turn it on because gold conducts so much electricity that if you put a game in it, you would destroy the console.

Huh. So it's literally just a, like, golden GameCube statue, essentially. Pretty much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just, you know, some people are that rich. And I, no comment, no comment. Yep. Well, there's your news story of the day.
