NordVPN's protecting you from all that trash on the internet. Let's jump into this podcast. Hello everybody, it's time for Ghost on Trend Dog. This is Trend Dog in the morning. In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, I'm your host, your host, your host, Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Woo-Boo-Boo Cox and Grendor morning. I think that's a first.

I don't think we've ever been excited for the Woo-Boo-Boo. Yeah. I mean, hey, what's going on? I'm excited. Let's go. Let's hop right in. Let's go. Let's get this thing rolling.

All right. Oh, that is an unnatural level of excitement from you that's what happens when you hit the woo-boo when i hit the old woo-boo here we go yeah uh yeah you uh you said you got stories i'm ready for stories well i mean man where do i even start first i'll let you decide i'll let you decide okay we'll either start with A, for Amazon, or B, for TwitchCon. I think the Amazon one's not going to be as crazy, so I'll go with that first. You would think. You would think.

You may have made the wrong choice. I may have. So, TwitchCon. TwitchCon was this week. And I went for exactly nine hours. It was great. Yep. I was there Saturday only from 10 a.m. until, I don't know, 6 p.m., and then I was home by 9.

So that tells you all I need to know about my time at TwitchCon. I did see you streaming trash. I like that part. I noticed. My favorite part is when you came in and you said, if you turn the camera back to your face, I will leave this stream. It was true. I was going to leave.

The trash stream was very popular. We raised $2,000 for charity. Big fan of that. Basically, what ended up happening is we did our panel. Are we too old for this? Which was great. A lot of the audience was older than us, which I thought was amazing. And everyone was really excited to be there.

That was good times. That was actually pretty solid. My day, this is what happened. First off, I land late Friday night. My plane was supposed to leave at 6.20 p.m. We didn't leave LAX until 8.30. I was very mad. We were delayed, but whatever.

I just sat there listening to music, and finally the plane took off. It is exactly a 36-minute flight, so I was not stressed. We were up in the air and then right back down. And then I got out, went to my hotel, threw my bags in the hotel, walked right back down to the casino floor and was like, okay, I have to be up tomorrow at 7 a.m. That gives me exactly one hour of being able to play games, maybe get some dinner, and then go to bed. So I went to a craps table, put some money down, and six minutes later walked away with

$190 and was like, that's it. I'm done. I'm doing nothing else. I quit Vegas. I'm over. I learned my lesson last time I was there where I was up and then lost it all. This time I was like, $190, I'm out.

I'm leaving. Went to Bobby Flay's Burgers. Oh, boy. Yeah, which was like a little tiny burger stand. Here's the thing. Burger, whatever. It was a burger. I've had Burgers. Oh, boy. Yeah, which was like a little tiny burger stand. Here's the thing. Burger, whatever. It was a burger. I've had burgers before.

Right. But I got these sweet potato fries. Oh, yeah. I watched this old man put those fries in the fryer. I watched him take those fries out, put them in the bowl, salt them up a little bit. Those are the freshest fries I've ever had. They came with some sort of honey mustard horseradish sauce.

Oh, my God. Dude, I was sitting there on the casino floor, munching on fries, watching people walk by. It was great. That does sound great. I was barely up an hour. I ate my burger. I drank a free drink on the casino floor, got a bottle of water. Went to my room. Drank that water. Fell asleep.

Woke up the next day at 7. Took a shower. Hoofed it all over to the convention center. Hey, spoilers. Vegas still stinks. Even though it's October. It's just as bad as it was in July. Not a fan.

Or August or whenever the hell I was there last. Not a fan. Do not like it. It is still way too hot for any human to live there. I noticed, as I approached the convention center, about 12 billion people.

More humans than I think could ever fit anywhere. All of them outside. So people have been waiting out there for who knows how long to get in. And I'm just like, okay, well, I have to drop my bag off. Because apparently, I didn't have a giant suitcase, dude. I had like a little small bag that was just the clothes I was wearing day one.

And that was it, right? Because it was just to throw my old clothes in from Friday and wear new clothes for Saturday. That was it. Nothing else was in there. They were like, sorry, nothing bigger than a small hand purse is allowed in the convention. I thought you were going to say a small hand person, and I was like, dude, a small hand person. Well, apparently, if you were a real life vlogger slash streamer and you had a backpack

with all your gear, you could go in but if I had a bag filled with dirty clothes not allowed whatever so that was a thing so the area that I had to go to to drop my bags off was both one a pickup

area for people who wanted to do the loop which I guess is that weird Elon Musk thing that's like you just take a car but underground? I don't get it. I'll never understand it. It's like a subway but just cars. And it only goes to certain places. And so I had to go over to that area, drop my bags off in what was essentially a glorified cargo container, and then walk myself back over

to the entrance. Meanwhile, at this point, it is now almost 10. My panel's at 10.30, so I walk inside the convention. Two minutes in, I see our friend Gerard. I'm like, what's up, dude? And I start talking to him, and then I see more friends come over, and I start talking to them. I'm like, all right, well, I got to go to my panel.

10.30, go to my panel. Panel's great. Love it. Good time. 11'm like, all right, well, I got to go to my panel. 1030, go to my panel. Panel's great. Love it. Good time. 1130, panel over. People come to me like, Jesse, your stream for charity's at noon. I'm like, okay. So I walk on down to go do my noon charity stream. From noon to two, I'm streaming charity stuff. At two, I'm done. And they're like, your signing is at 230. Come on over. So I walk over to my signing, do my signing. And, uh, it was great. I had an amazing line. It was fun meeting everyone. There were some awesome cosplayers. There was all sorts of cool stuff. And then when I was done with that, I had roughly an hour to kill before my flight home.

So I went and watched games done quick and then was like, okay, well, and then was like, okay, well, that was TwitchCon and I left. Literally just zoomed through the day. I experienced nothing. I saw nothing. I avoided everyone except for the fact I think Twitch as a core audience, the people who are going to TwitchCon, much more attractive than they used to be. And honestly, I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't like it.

Everyone there is way too hot. Guys hot, girls hot, everyone's looking hot. And frankly, I remember when it was a bunch of uggos. It was all of us uggos, hobbling around, drooling on each other. And now it's like people dressed up. I saw more butt hanging out than I think I've ever seen anywhere outside of a strip club.

There were so many people flashing ass. It was crazy. And I'm not saying I didn't like it. I liked it a lot. I'm just saying for TwitchCon, it was crazy. So, yeah, that was a treat. And then I get to the airport, and

as I'm sitting there waiting for my flight, and I got there pretty early. My flight was at it was supposed to be at 7.50, but it got pushed to 8.20, and then it got pushed to 8.50, and I was like, cool, this is awesome. So I thought I had it bad, but the flight next to me was to Ohio. And I know it's Ohio because everyone there kept saying, like, I live in Huber Heights. And as someone who used to live in Ohio, I know exactly where Huber Heights is. And I imagine there aren't a lot of Huber Heights in the United States. So I'm sitting there watching them as their flights delayed one hour. Then two hours.

Then four hours. And people start getting restless. They're getting a little wound up. And the people at, I'm not sure what airline they were at. I think it was Alaska. They were like, well, we know you're stuck here for a while. So we're going to give everyone on this flight a free voucher for whatever food you want. I was like, okay, so I guess, you know, it's not too bad, but I would want more than a free voucher for food, but okay. So I watch all these people go up, collect their voucher, and then I watch them look around the Las Vegas airport.

The terminal we're in, having been from one side of the terminal to another, as I waited for my flight to take off and I just started walking around, there were exactly two bars and one restaurant open. Everything else was closed down, either for the night or permanently, I don't know. And the two bars were packed, filled with people. And the one restaurant was a Burger King. I watched all these poor people have to trudge over to the Burger King. And let me just state for the record, Burger King might be the bottom tier of all fast food. It might be the worst.

And so I watched them go over to this Burger King, line up, and they all proceeded to walk up to the counter. And the woman was like, oh, sorry, the counter's closed. Everyone's like, okay, well, where do we order? Order at the terminals. Mind you, there's a person at the counter. Why aren't they ordering? I don't know. So they send them over to the terminals.

Everyone on this flight had to have been 65 plus. They made all these old people go to automated terminals and try to punch in their orders. Mind you, the terminals, and I watched all this. It was amazing. The terminals don't let you modify things about the, it's Burger King. Having your way is supposed to be the thing. Right. These old people can't, when they went to order, it would be like, I want a Whopper.

Okay. It would let you order a Whopper. And then it would ask you what you want to drink and what size fries you want. And what ended up happening is people would be like, well, where do you input the changes you want to make? And the woman was like, oh, well, you got to go to the end and then you can change it. So you can't change as you're ordering. When you go to pay, there's a little button that says alter order. So then they went and altered the order and then it went in.

Here's the thing. They let you change some things like do you want cheese? Do you want lettuce? Do you want tomato? But not do you want sauce? And this woman was screaming like I don't want mayo on my sandwich. And she's like nothing we can do about that sweetie.

It's like oh my god. And then everyone went to go pay. Everyone went to go use their voucher. And when they scanned the voucher, the voucher said, go to counter to use voucher. So this little British boy, I don't know what he's doing on this flight. This little British boy is like, excuse me. I have a voucher for this flight. I'd like to use it to get a whopper.

And the woman goes, honey, we don't honor vouchers here. And points to a sign that says no vouchers honored. I was like, yo, they gave these people the run around. So then, over the next 20 minutes, I watched I'm going to say 80 people

slowly lose their mind. As word spread, they were given vouchers that were totally useless. Oh, my God. Where do you use the vouchers? It was irate in there. Like, where can you use it then? You can't use it there.

That's what I'm saying. It was either there and maybe the bars, but I don't think the bars serve food, and I don't think they give people a voucher for alcohol. No, definitely not. So the only place – I'm telling you, there was a – so there were other – there was a Starbucks that was closed. There was a Payway, I think that's what it's called, that was closed. There was some other cafe that was closed, and there was one other restaurant that was closed. The other two places were bars, like Captain's Club or something like that, right? And then the Burger King.

The Burger King was the only thing open. I looked around because I was like, surely there must be another restaurant. Nothing, dude. What was open was 80 billion places to gamble. Well, yeah. It's Vegas. It was crazy. I watched this group lose their mind.

Just lose it. And so I was like, well, you know, thank God I'm not on that flight. And apparently some woman was like, based on how late our flight's leaving, we won't get home till 4 a.m. And she was like, what am I supposed to do? I took the train to get to the airport. At 4 a.m., no trains run. So what do I do? I wait another two hours at the airport I was like

so they were all very angry then I get on my flight it's a fine flight everything's everything's okay again 36 minutes land back in LA it's like uh I don't know 8 50 9 o'clock when we land and as we get up to leave there's barely anyone on this flight. It's a late night Saturday flight from Vegas to L.A. No one's on this. Usually, yeah, it's the opposite. Right. And so I might be like sixth or seventh to get out the door.

But the first person, a person in the very front, the flight attendant recognizes him and immediately starts freaking out. She's like, oh my God, can I take your photo? And she starts taking a photo with him. At first, I couldn't recognize him because it was almost to the back of his head. Then he turned around. It was Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The crazy Kennedy.

The Kennedy who's very anti-vax that kennedy and he's in the front just kind of like trying to keep to himself but the couple that's next to me they're standing up and i can see them because they're talking and trying to be like very quiet but i can see their phones, so I'm looking to see what they're doing. And they can't figure out who this guy is. They don't know why the flight attendant cares. They don't know what's going on. They're just like, who is that? Who is that?

So the husband secretly takes a photo but gets maybe half of his face, does a reverse Google search, and he can't figure out quite who this dude is. He's trying his hardest. He really is actively searching, but he can't get it. And then I see him start typing in a name, and the name he types in was Sully Sullenberger. And for those of you who don't know, yeah, Sully Sullenberger is in fact the guy who landed

a plane in the, I believe, Hudson River in New York. He's that guy. They made a movie based on him. The Tom Hanks one. Yeah, Tom Hanks. Yeah. And so he's like, it must be him. Now, just listener, go

when you have time, look up Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and look up Sully Sullenberger. They look nothing alike at all. Not even remotely alike. And this dude looked at it, looked at him, and satisfyingly put his phone away, looked at his wife and said, yep, that's him. I couldn't believe it. I was like, that man must have face

blindness because they look nothing alike at all. And so as we're, oh, oh, oh my God, I forgot. Earlier in the flight, very short flight, we're taking off, you know, 36 minutes or whatever. We get up

in the air, flight attendant comes around and is like, I'm going to be serving snacks and drinks if you want some. And I was like, I, it's 36 minutes or whatever. We get up in the air. Flight 10 comes around. It's like, I'm going to be serving snacks and drinks if you want some. And I was like, I'd love like a soda or something. She's like, I got it. And again, it's a convention day. I usually don't eat on convention days. I'll eat after it's over, right? And so I was really hungry and I was hoping to get, you know, like chips or pretzels or something on this plane.

And I know because I saw coming in that they had those veggie crisps and I love them veggie crisps. And so I was hoping for it. I was waiting for it. I was drinking my soda waiting for it. She never came back around with snacks. We landed, no snacks.

As we're leaving the plane, I look in the cockpit. The pilots are in there eating the veggie chips. What? I was like, she gave the chips. What? I was like, this is a 36-minute flight. Those pilots barely did anything.

They got the veggie crisps. I was so mad. I was like, okay, fine, fine. So I go to leave, and again, Robert Kennedy's in front of me, and then as I turn, he's gone. But a door is open. You know how when you go to ramp the walkway up from the plane, there's like a little side door there? Yes. The side door's open, and it appears that he has gone down that side door. Here's that he has gone down that side door.

And one of the flight crew that's out there with holding a wheelchair, standing next to a guy who I think is like the technician or whatever. She goes, damn, he used the side door? He must be rich. And the guy, and again, I don't know if he said this jokingly or knowingly. I don't know what he goes. Yeah, he probably Kennedy rich or some shit. I was like, wait a minute. Does he know he's a Kennedy or just he just said it.

All of it shocked me. I was just like, what is happening right now? But then I got jealous because why does like I want to be that rich, not private plane rich, but like I can take a normal plane, then get off on the tarmac and just get in a car and go. Yeah, that is pretty rich. That's the rich I want to be. That private plane, that's how you die. Private planes crash all the time. I'll take a big plane, but then I get a private car that takes me off the run. I want that.

And then he vanished. Like a vaccine in the wind, he vanished. And I don't know what happened, but it was a weird 24 hours in Vegas is what I'll say. It was very strange. Wait, well, what did that have to do with Amazon? Oh, you want the Amazon story? I said I wanted the Amazon one first.

Oh, wait, no, I thought you said you wanted the Twitch one first. No, I wanted the Amazon one first. Oh, wait. No, I thought you said you wanted the Twitch one first. No, I wanted the Amazon one first. I was like, alright, he's talking about Twitch, but maybe this ties into Amazon in some way. Oh, that explains a lot, actually. Okay. Alright, well, I'm stupid.

No, Amazon is... So I got home, and I realized that the office needed some paper towels, right? Like this story starts normally. I was like, oh, the office needs paper towels. But as I log into Amazon, a bar, you know how there's like various bars or tabs of things that say like things you might like, things for you. Yeah. Mine said recommended for you.

And I just want to go over the list of things that this thing recommended for me. All right. I don't know what this website thinks of me or what my purchasing habits are, but these are some of the things it said I should want to buy. The first thing was Bobo's PB&J's 10 grape soft baked peanut butter oat crust with fruit filling.

I was like, okay, don't know what that means, why that's a thing, but okay. Bobo's. But then it gets a little crazier. The next is Super LXR Hero Hydration Peach Mango Flavored. I was like, what did I buy that they were like, this guy needs Hero Hydration. So, okay, sure.

But then right next to that was Black Cherry Warhead Soda. Like the candy, extra sour Warhead Soda. I was like, I would never drink that. Why would I get, why would they recommend that? That actually made me like visibly, like mentally, physically, and emotionally just be like... Yeah, like why would I want to drink that?

Like, none of the, I don't know why that applies to me. And then the next thing was Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pizza everything seasoning. Literal pizza seasoning. It's an everything bagel style I don't know why I would never buy this

I would never buy this in a million years The crazy thing is Along with the pizza seasoning I could buy the pizza seasoning And the Ninja Turtles Shredder Cheese Grater It's a cheese grater With Shredder Cheese Grater. It's a cheese grater with Shredder's

face on it. Now, that is a very purchasable item. I can see why it recommended that. I don't know why it chose to give it to me. I don't know. I have not bought anything Ninja Turtles related in maybe 25 years. I don't

know why it wanted to recommend it to me. But the thing that's very important, the thing you need to understand is, hold on, let me see if I can show you this link. Well, first off, here's the link to the seasoning. But if you click on it and you click on, there it is. Look at the shredder's face on this cheese grater. That is some of the most low-quality, crappy cheese grating I've ever – like, that is terrible. I'd rather just have a cheese grater that doesn't have a shredder on it.

It's terrible. It's one of the worst things I've ever seen. But apparently Amazon was like, Jesse's going to love this. It's $35? Rip off. How much is a cheese grater that's just a cheese grater? Like, 10? You can probably get one for 12 bucks, yeah.

10 to 15 bucks. That is... You're paying like $20 just for Shredder's Head. For Shredder's Head. So far, I was like, this is nothing I would buy. Why is it recommended to me?

We can't stop there. This has a 4.7 out of 5. I think you skipped over that. This is a highly rated Shredder. My bad. You know what? It's probably 4.7 because of the pun. I don't know. It's a cheese shredder. It you know what it's probably 4.7 because the pun i don't know shredder it says

okay somebody the top review is so my beautiful girlfriend is a huge ninja turtles fan so just kidding around i love how this so my beautiful girlfriend you bought that for yourself how dare you well then they say dot dot dot so just kidding around like okay i guess that's the joke that they're not a ninja turtles fan i bought the ninja turtle pizza spice thing here you see it was supposed to just be a novelty thing and a joke and the day of arrived i bought pizza and the and of course we used it i was shocked at the fact of how good this spice is wait spice wait oh i think it's i think it's the ninja turtle spice thing that that i was originally recommended oh i feel like so there's reading the wrong yeah this is under the the review for the the grater though i don't know what to tell you

wait these are okay it's doing that thing where it has, if you look at the page, it says cheese grater, Parmesan cheese, pizza cutter, and pizza seasoning. You can click which one you want, and they've grouped all of them under one rating. So you don't even know, like, that's so dumb. How are they allowed to do that? You see? I see it. I don't know what to tell you i'm not in charge uh and can you even like sort by which thing it is i don't even i don't even think you can that's dude that's false reviewing and i won't stand for it i'll just yell about it Let me tell you some more good news Alright Also included in my list

Of Stuff that it wants me to buy Apparently Snapple juice drink variety pack Fire, air Rain, earth It is snapple flavors Based on earth

Air, rain, and fire I don't know what any of that means Because all the reviews Say that this pack, and I quote Is terrible One of the worst things I've ever experienced Yuck Disappointing variety, apparently it's a variety pack

But whoever boxes it Randomly puts in flavors This person didn't get earth. This person only got one flavor. This person didn't get any rain. This person says, rain flavor tastes like rain water. All this is...

It has a 3.5 out of 5. Why I would recommend something so low rated to me makes no sense, but here we are. Also, you get 9 snapples for $38. Nine? Yeah. A package of nine Snapples randomly assembled, $38.

Actually, $39. That's insane. Terrible. Why I would recommend that to me, I have no idea. Why I would buy Snapple named after an element and not a fruit or whatever. Sure. They don't even sound good. Yeah, no, of course not.

What's even crazier is then they sent me Jason Momoa branded water. What? That's right. Mineral water by Jason Momoa. And it comes in pink grapefruit, pure unfiltered Tahitian lime, lilikoi passion, and a variety pack Jason Momoa water.

Oh, yeah, I see it. I could not tell you why they want me to drink this. There's nothing about any – I mean, I like water. Yeah. I'm a big fan of water, but I don't know why Jason Momoa water is what it wants me to drink. Couldn't tell you. Couldn't tell you. The next thing on my list, Power power scrub by Crocodile Cloth.

80 textured cloths. It says because wipes are wimpy. What is this for? I don't know. I couldn't tell you. Wipes are wimpy. I guess it wants me to use wipes, but for what? My butt?

For the street? For clothes? Oh, wait, what? What? Go ahead, get messy. This wipe removes grime, pet messes, kid messes, adhesives, paint, food and drink spills, rust, soot, oil, scruffs, highlighter, dust, dirt, mud, and grease. Used on car interiors, car parts, grills, paint tools. What about this screams me?

Absolutely nothing. What did I buy that Amazon was like, this is this? Is it? Again, I feel like someone hacked my account and made a purchase and they unlocked all this stuff. None of this makes any sense. Well, what's like the last thing you bought? If it's The last things

Hold on let me look this up The last things I bought were I gotta go to a different tab Here The last things I bought were Paper towels for the office Bottled water for the office And

Some Whatever the hell this stuff is, a SteelSeries mouse pad and Tylenol. That's the last stuff I bought. So at least the Momoa water is like you bought water recently. So they tried to sell me water. Yeah, I mean, I guess. I don't know anything else.

I guess. Yeah. I bought coffee pods on here. I mean, I'm trying to look what else I got. I got coffee pods. I bought tea September 12th. Okay. I bought aardvark hot sauce September 8th.

I bought Mexican Coca-Cola that was never delivered and refunded to me on September 8th. Yep. I bought tissues August 31st and Cascade Platinum Plus dishwashing pods October 31st. Okay. I bought toilet paper August 31st. Oh, that was August 31st. August 31st for all that. Yeah.

I bought some deodorant, four pack of deodorant on August 14th. Yeah. I bought more tissues on August 1. I bought props for a thing we're doing in the office on August 13th. I bought, yeah, it cuts off at August 1. So the last thing, yeah, I mean, I didn't buy anything. I have no idea. Since August 1, why would this pop up?

It makes no sense. I don't know. That's weird. And then, I mean, like the next one is I got awards and incentives. Memento Mori. Your time will come. It's literally a coin with a skull on it that says your time will come. That sounds like it should be in like Alex's Amazon thing. Yeah, I don't know.

Why would I need a coin to tell me my time will come? Plus, it's a very big coin. Like, look at this thing. Why did it suggest this to me? I feel almost threatened by this it looks like one of those pog smashers like i don't know what the hell is this for your time will come yeah and then again this has 4.7 out of 5 stars the top review is i had to buy this i was looking for a memento worry stone of some kind that had special meaning to me this could have been more personal could not have been more personal perfect example of what i was looking for i fully plan on getting a tattoo of some kind

with these phrases on it thank you for this charming token i don't need to know any more about this person to know that they have sunglasses they wear backwards on their head you know what i mean we all think we all plus their hair is like a little too spiked yeah i know this person i know i grew up with these people i know this. They have two dogs in their profile picture. Yep. Yep. And let's see. They purchase anything that can tie into what you just said.

They bought Root Boost Rooting Hormone. uh what is this root they bought root boost rooting hormone sorry what root boost rooting hormone i don't know what you just said what is a rooting hormone grow new plants from cuttings cut Cut, dip, plant.

Oh, this person's making this person's trying to grow weed. They're probably growing weed. This guy's growing weed. Weed with his dogs. Yeah. That makes sense and that's why he's, uh, he got this coin because he's like, your time will come.

Because his time has probably already arrived. His time has arrived. We're not done, though, because there's two more things, which, again, this list is amazing. Next on this list, Crack Corn, the ultimate snacking experience. Crack Corn. Crack Corn, caramel popcorn, award-winning Crack Corn.winning crack corn tasty sweet 4.2 stars it's just caramel corn but it says crack corn yeah well that's the thing where to win an award

uh you can win an award actually most of the time when someone wins an award they just give themselves an award that's what i was thinking i'm like most of the times when they're like award winning i'm like they could have just had their own award ceremony and they just were like we're the winners there's a lot of twitch streamers who do that for themselves and they're just twitch streamers wait this says most innovative new product award winner 2022 wait how is by the sweets andets and Snacks Expo?

I'm keeping them afloat. Just at the end of it, just put put like, please, it's my birthday. It's his birthday. It's his birthday. Let him in. Let him in. Yeah, and that was my list. That was my Amazon list.

Again, I don't understand why we got to where we are, but here we are. I don't. I don't understand. The weird part is now that you've like clicked on all these things it's gonna get crazier it's gonna get yeah you're right it's only gonna get weirder yeah and now that i've clicked on all of them they've got you now you fool that's not good it's only cartoon themed kitchen utensils for you from now on i will say i scrolled down on mine it had perfect for for pickle ballers they think i'm a pickle baller i mean you are let's not pretend maybe not not yet

but maybe in the future you're a pickle baller at heart um i wait, speaking of Amazon, I tried to get a thing and I had to return it. Uh, but I was excited for it too. So what, what? Okay. Then you told me the story and then you left everything out. Okay. So I was, I was looking around for like, I already got like a thing where you can like pump the air out of the line.

Right. If you're like, I drank like a glass or two and you want to save it and you're like, I don't want to drink it tonight. So you like pump the air out. But I was like, sometimes if you wait too long, it like still kind of goes bad. It still gets oxygen, but they have like some crazy wine things where like super pumps the air out. They're like, it lasts up to two weeks. And I'm like, yo, that sounds crazy. I want that. So I found one called the wine squirrel. I want that. So I found one called the wine squirrel. And if it didn't call itself the wine squirrel, I probably wouldn't care. But the fact that it had squirrel in the name, I was like, well, I got to get this one. Uh, so I mean, it had all right reviews. It looked good.

I watched the thing. I'm like, all right, it looks good. So I got it. And then I tried to use it and it wasn't working. And I was like, what? Well, I tested it with water first. Cause I was like, well, I'm not going to pour wine in this. Cause I'm like, I don't want to make sure, or I want to make sure it works before I use it. So then the thing would like hook onto the thing. It's supposed to like have one part, like pumps the stuff out and then the actual pump. And it's supposed to like hook in. And I'm like, well, that's weird. Maybe I'm just not doing it right. And then I look it up and they're like, okay, so it magnetizes. And I look in the thing and there's no magnet. I was like, what?

So I was like, maybe it fell out of the box. Look in the box, no magnet. I look in the like everything, no magnet. And I was like, all right. So then I was like, well, I guess it's just broken. So then I sent it back and now i'm like you know what i'm just gonna keep pumping the air out with the shitty like wine stop thing uh plus it was like kind of it was really thin so it looked like it could break easily and some

of the reviews were like yeah it could break but if you don't break it it seems like it works if they actually give you the proper equipment to work it with. So basically, you just got like a faulty product. Yes. However, if Wine Squirrel is listening, they want to send me a free Wine Squirrel. I will try it again and then talk about it again. I just want a Wine Squirrel that works. It's all he wants is a Wine Squirrel.

A Wine Squirrel that works. And now it looks like a squirrel, correct? Uh, no. They just have their logo as a squirrel. Oh, that's a letdown. You're telling me the wine squirrel doesn't look like a little squirrel that puts its tail in the wine? It honestly should. It's kind of

disappointing that it doesn't. That's what I'm saying. It really should? It really should. I also found while searching for it again, a spring, spring wind squirrel, wine bottle holder, wine rack,

garden squirrel, tabletop wine holder, great rack housewarming gift. And you just put a bottle of wine in there and it's just like some squirrels are trying to get into it. That's very cute. But I don't know. It's very cute.

I take it it has to be like an unopened bottle because it's probably going to spill in there. Right, yes. My favorite part is if you look at the photos, there's the main photo of the squirrels and the wine. There's another photo where it shows it in action. Put it on your shelf. Put it outside. And then the third photo is left squirrel right squirrel super lifelike and then i like how they call out by name left squirrel and right squirrel squirrel

and right squirrel it's like left shark right shark yeah you know what they each they each have a different personality they're their own thing. Yeah, man, you know what? It's pretty good. Grendor, stop. What? See how there's squirrels? Go to the one next to it.

There's wine gnomes, dude. Wine gnomes. How did you not see wine? That's way better. Oh, my God. Wine gnomes. You got left gnome. You got white gnome.

Come on, man. Look at these gnomes you got left gnome you got a white gnome come on man look at these gnomes i would have well i would pick wine gnome over wine squirrels any day these wine gnomes look great i mean i'd have both to be honest but oh man there's there's some some good stuff here there's a cat wine holder and you can open I see that. I scroll down. Yeah, that's crazy. They also get oh my God. I like this one the juju bulldog wine holder. You see this not

see it. Oh my God. This is never mind. This is the one I get. Oh my God. It's amazing. I thought it was like cat from far away. I love this guy. This guy holds your wine. He holds your wine opener.

Dude looks like he's drunk as a skunk. This is fantastic. This is a product I would buy. See, now we're getting to the good stuff. Yep. Now, you know what? i hope this changes my algorithm completely this is like when i go to my tiktok and like my tiktok's just a fantastic algorithm and yours was like weird i found i found it i found it all right true sloth polyresin wine bottle holder it is a sloth drinking wine on its back. It's perfect.

It's perfect for you. Although it looks kind of weird the way it's like. It looks like it's trying to deep throat the wine. I hope I like that. Then you don't want to look at the other ones. There's a fish doing it. There's a puppy doing it. Oh, God.

There's what appears to be a soldier doing it. There's a dog deep-throating that wine. Multiple dogs deep-throating that wine. There's a bear deep-throating the wine. There's a nutcracker. I would bet money that at least one person, after finishing their wine, put their dick in this. Like, 100%. I would agree money that at least one person, after finishing their wine, put their dick in this. Like, 100%. I would agree with you.

It looks, especially the fish one. The fish one's mouth is very big. Yeah, that's, I don't like that. That's unpleasant. That one's very unpleasant. I gotta go back and look at that dog. The dog one's good. Although somebody said, looks cuter in person than the picture.

So, like, you know, maybe it's just a disservice. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. Man, I'm all about these juju goods. This is great. That's a quote for the

episode 400. I'm looking at this bulldog or whatever this is, this pug and his wine. I'm here for this bulldog or whatever this is, this pug, and his wine. I'm here for this guy. This guy and I, we get each other. He holds your booze. He wears shades. Look at this one. I like this one.

This is the crocodile. No, no, that's still too close to dick in the mouth. I'm not a fan of this. He looks like he's actually going to chomp down on that thing, though. Some people are into that, mouth. I'm not a fan of that. This one, he looks like he's actually going to chomp down on that thing, though. Some people are into that, dude. I got to be honest.

I'm not okay with it. That's true. There's also one that's a parrot that's dressed like Jimmy Buffett doing the exact same thing. I didn't realize how many of these things exist. So many. Too many. There's too many. Too many.

time before we're gonna have to upgrade this thing you know but uh we'll figure it out eventually back to you thanks crednor now let's go over to Crennor at the weather desk. How's that weather? Weather. We got a weather request for sig tuna Sweden. This used to be an ancient

capital of Sweden until raiders from Estonia burned it to the ground and so they had and so they had to build Stockholm instead. Eventually Estonia became part of the Swedish Empire. Bonus fun fact Estonia and Finland are sibling

nations and even use the same melody as their national anthem with different words as the two languages branched apart about a thousand years ago. Okay. Okay. There you go. Fun fact. Fun fact.

Sig Tuna Sweden, which I guess is Stockholm. Sig Tuna. Yeah. 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Feels like 38 degrees Fahrenheit. High of 44, low of 36. Humidity, 89%. Pressure, 29.83 inches. We got six miles of visibility.

7.46 a.m. sunrise, 5.19 p.m. sunset. Winds, four miles an hour, dew point 37. UV index zero of 11 in a moon phase of waxing gibbous. Uh, 10 day. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. It is rainy today. Winds, light variable, chance of rain 90%. Tuesday got mostly cloudy, 43.

Wednesday, 41 cloudy. Thursday, 40 cloudy. And then Friday, Saturday, Sunday, pretty much all 41 with rain. And then it warms up a little bit to the mid-40s with rain. But pretty much, it's pretty chilly and rainy over in Sweden.

I think I realized for the first time looking at this map that Stockholm is not what I thought it was. It's a lot of water. Yeah, it is a lot of water. I guess I never thought of Stockholm being just a lot of water. It really I never thought of Stockholm being just a lot of water. It really is.

It's got water going everywhere. Yeah. Meanwhile, Sigtuna looks like a fake town. It looks like a town that Willy Wonka would visit. It kind of does look like a Willy Wonka town. It looks a little, but that's because every single photo that exists looks like it's a Willy Wonka village. They do have Paco's's sig tuna pizzeria

oh go on yes and it looks like most of the like swedish pizzeria things we've seen where they like throw they got seafood on that pizza insane stuff yeah yeah they get a little crazy with it where's the where i'm i'm in the town, but I can't tell. I'm trying to find where's the wacky roads that I keep seeing. I guess I can't tell where the main thoroughfares, the wacky roads are. I don't. Meanwhile, there's a place called Restaurant Scog. Restaurant Scog looks like it's not from this world.

Look at this. They're growing their own food there, too. Yo, Restaurant Scog slaps. Actually, I love this. The more I look at it, the more I'm like, this is the place. There's just a dish with one giant meatball on it. Oh, yeah. There's a dish with, I think that's just a dish with one giant meatball on it oh yeah there's a dish with i think that's just potato chips but it's the most beautiful potato chips i've ever seen yeah this

looks great but it's also like some random looking like weird building yeah i have no idea what is happening here but they keep showing pictures of the chef clipping their own food. And like everyone there, here's the problem. It's Sweden, so everyone there is like beautiful and blonde and it's hilarious. Like all the photos of people eating there are like gorgeous blondes.

It's very funny. The chefs are like from all over the world, but everyone eating there is like... Every woman in these photos is a blonde woman. This is amazing. This is so funny. I'd roll in there and they'd be like, you must be a tourist.

They'd be right. Yeah, it would be correct. Yeah, they got me. Yeah. I found a restaurant on the... It's like on the pier. All right, they got me. Yeah. I found a restaurant on the... It's like on the pier. All right. Look at this.

This is called Bathuset Krog. It is called Bathuset Krog and Bar. And you're just eating in like a dock? Like a ship? A dock house? This looks like... I would avoid this place like the plague if I just saw the outside. Yeah.

But then you look inside and it's like crazy and they got like insane food. Yeah, the inside the outside, crazy looking. The inside, gorgeous. Yeah. There's, I don't know, I'm looking at this one image of bread, but the butter

is served on a rock? I don't know what's happening here. That's crazy. But it's also colorful and vibrant like you would think it wouldn't be, but everything about it looks beautiful. Man. That's the weather. All right, let's go to sports.

Sports. We've got sports. We've got sports. all right, let's go to sports. Sports. We've got sports. We've got sports. So big thing, Eagles taking down the Dolphins on Sunday night football 31-17. The Texas Rangers beating the Houston Astros, tying up the series a three apiece, going to a game seven. And then in the other playoff series, the Phillies and the And then in the other playoff series, the Phillies and the Diamondbacks are currently... What is that serial? Hold on.

It is 3-2 Philadelphia currently. And then over in football... Hold on. Scores. There we go. The Bears beat the Raiders. The Patriots beat the Bills. The Browns beat the Colts.

The Giants beat the Commanders. The Falcons beat the Buccaneers. The Ravens crushed the Lions. Steelers beat the Rams. The Seahawks beat the Cardinals. Broncos beat the Packers. Chiefs beat the Chargers. Jaguars beat the Saints.

And the 49ers Vikings play on Monday night football. And that is sports. Okay. What is our fact of the day? Fact of the day. Fact of the day. Fact of the day. The Spice Girls were originally a band called Touch.

Well, of course they were. a band called touch well of course they were uh the when we wait they say when we first started with the name touch we were pretty bland mel c told the guardian in 2018 we felt like we had to fit into a mold what kind of mold does touch mean i don't't know. That's like, I mean, that is a shit name for a band, admittedly. It's like probably a good name for a song or an album, but a band? Terrible. Yeah, that is terrible. That's probably why they fell blind. Why they were blind.

Yeah. Also, I read this one. It kind of fits in. Bonus fact. The ancient Romans used to drop a piece of toast into their wine for good health. Hence why we raise a toast. That's not true. That's what it says.

That's why we raise a toast. That sounds like a made-up fake fact that someone created. I don't know. Raise a toast. This thing said it's real, so I got to believe it. Raise a toast. Alright, I mean, okay. If I Google it, I don't see...

The Romans dropped a piece of burnt toast into their drinks. Like, how much of a piece? You know what I mean? Like, what kind of... What are we thinking out here? Possibly the most entertaining theory to expect the 16th century roman practice one of the first written accounts of it was shakespeare's the merry wives of windsor when the character of falstaff demands go fetch me a quart of sack put a toast in it to translate he's asking for a great deal of wine with a piece

of literal toast in it which was common practice at the time due to the poor quality of wine. Thus, placing a piece of toast within a jug was supposed to soak up some of the acidity and improve the flavor. Okay. I mean, that makes a lot more sense than like they threw toast in there and then said, hey, raise a toast. You know what I mean?

Yeah. So they were doing it for an actual reason. They weren't just like, this looks like fun. Yeah, it wasn't like a gimmick. You know what I mean? Okay, I'll buy that more than whatever the hell they were giving us. Yeah. There you go. Facts of the day.

Okay. What is our big news story of the day? Our big news story of the day. Day, day, day. South Carolina pepper expert scorches his own Guinness book heat record. Ed Curry, who crossbred and grew the

Carolina Reaper that's hotter than most pepper sprays, has a new pepper that's three times hotter. And I hate the name. Pepper X. That sucks. That does suck. That's terrible. Pepper X. That sucks. That does suck. That's terrible.

Pepper X is trash. Pepper X. That is... Ed Curry, the South Carolina hot pepper expert who crossbred the Carolina Reaper, has broken... Pepper X is publicly named the hottest pepper in the world on October 9th by Guinness Book of World Records, beating out the Carolina Reaper and says it provides immediate, brutal heat.

Curry said when he first tried Pepper X, it did more than warm his heart. I was feeling the heat for three and a half hours. Then the cramps came, said Curry, one of only five people so far to eat an entire Pepper X. Those cramps are horrible i was laid out flat on a marble wall for approximately an hour in the rain groaning in pain went through it i was laid out i was in the rain life was terrible heat in peppers is measured in scville heat units. Zero is bland. A regular jalapeno is about 5,000 Scoville.

Habanero, the record holder 25 years ago, typically tops 100,000. Guinness Book World Records lists the Carolina Reaper at 1.64 million. That's insane. Pepper X's record is an average of 2.69 million. By comparison, a pepper spray is about 1.6 million. Bear spray is at 2.2 million. Pepper X has been in the works since Curry last set the hottest pepper record in 2013. A bright red knobby Carolina Reaper with a fish you know.

Wait, scorpion tail. They call it scorpion tail whatever pepper pepper x is greenish yellow doesn't have the same shelf appeal and carries an earthy flavor once the heat is delivered it's a cross breed of a carolina reaper and what curry mysteriously classifies as a pepper that a friend of mine sent me from Michigan that was brutally hot. You can't just be like, some Michigan pepper, don't ask questions. The chemical in peppers that causes the burn is called capsaicin and is not dangerous unless pounds of it are consumed.

Even so, the minds of humans and other mammals perceive capsaicin as a threat and send a strong burning signal to the body because birds don't have the same reaction they are able to spread pepper seeds while sparing the plant uh the burning sensation spurred in humans also releases endorphins and dopamine into the body kern curry who went all in to growing peppers after kicking drug and alcohol addictions considers that kick a natural high. So this is his like replacement, I guess. You know what? You gotta replace it with something.

I don't know if this is good, though. Just laying out in the rain. Fucking dying. He shares his peppers with medical research, hoping they can use them to cure disease and help people who suffer chronic pain or discomfort. Wait, what? I made the world's hottest pepper.

I call it Pepper X. It cures disease? I don't think that's how that works. I don't know either. What? For Curry, having the hottest pepper in the world has been a two-decade obsession. It took 10 years to get Pepper X from the first crossbreed experiment, including five years of testing to prove it was a different plant with a different fruit and documenting its average heat over the different

plants and generations we covered the genetics we covered the chemistry we covered the botany he said he's trying to build an empire of hot pepper sauces through his pucker bucket or pucker butt company said he also learned plenty of business lessons during the past decade curry allowed people to grow peppers without protecting his ideas his lawyers have counted more than 10 000 products that use carolina reaper name or intellectual property without his permission curry oh thank god he named it x because nobody out there is obsessed with that thank god i mean thank god yeah curry is protecting pepper x he said no seeds will be released until he is sure his children his workers many of whom are on their second chances like him and their

families can fully earn rewards of his work everybody else made their money off the reaper it's time for us to reap the benefits of hard work i do everybody else made their money off the Reaper. It's time for us to reap the benefits of the hard work I do. Everybody else made their money off the Reaper. This guy sounds like a villain. He really does. He's like, and so as vengeance I've unleashed Pepper X.

That work includes dozens of fields across York County county secret greenhouses where curry works on peppers to prevent them from being stolen and a pucker butt store in fort mill where curry works on dozens of sauce ideas that range from mild to blazing hot he also sells his peppers to companies worldwide challenges involving extremely spicy foods have made headlines after a chip maker pulled its products following a teenager's death. Curry wants people to eat peppers and think they can benefit from the rush that comes after the burn. He calls most hot pepper challenges stupid and cautions pepper peakers against being overly ambitious and reaching too quickly for a Reaper or Pepper X. You build up a tolerance, Curry said, later hinting that more pepper heat

may be bubbling up from the fields, labs, and chillers that he won't let fans, reporters, or even the bankers helping his business expand see. Dude's got like a secret pepper cave. Three stories. Like this one's eight billion Scoville and it can melt the planet. They stole my reaper,

but I shall have revenge. In my pepper cave, I've been growing my vengeance. It is finally time to unleash it upon the world. Only the tolerant will survive. Finally, he says, quote, is this the pinnacle a mischievous smile warming his face no it's not the pinnacle yep that dude's a villain this is 100 a villain a villain story. That is a villain story.
