If you've got a man in your life, or you are a man in your life, maybe trim it up a little bit, you know what I'm saying? Now let's jump into this podcast! Hello everybody, it's time for Ghost in the Tread Dog! This is Tread Dog in Crenda in the morning! In the morning! We're on Captain Long! Long! Long! Long! Long!

In 4 hour recording studio recording! Recording! Beep beep! Wake your ass up! It's Cocks and Crenda in the morning. Yep, here we are. Some days I feel like you don't think it is A either morning or B exciting episodes. You're right. I've got reasons though.

Uh oh, what do you mean? You can't, it better be a good reason Well remember how I had coven did you have double coven now? What's going on with you? No, but After coven I got the laryngitis Was it did one lead to the other also? What are you doing on here with laryngitis? You're stronger willed than I would be like I'm canceling it. I don't even care Well, it's doing better. If this is like two days ago. I don't think I could do it It's uh

Apparently it's pretty common to get laryngitis after a cold or like a viral infection I Mean I've definitely had that before yeah, so I guess it moves down into your voice box and Yeah, it did so I'm feeling better like in terms of hmm like sickness, but Yeah Damn that uh I I mean I hope I hope you feel better It sounds like you're on the other side just like last week every time I talk to you you're on the other side. Just like last week. Every time I talk to you, you're on the other side of something,

and then you're like, well, my liver fell out. Classic liver. Can't trust that guy. It's like, it's one of those things where I feel good enough to do stuff, but then I can't talk. So it's like, I'm like, I'm going to stream. So I've done like two more text to speech streams. It sucks. I just want to talk again. If I could just talk, I'd be fine.

Cause like I have energy. You're doing it right now. Yeah. I have like, you know, the lingering kind of a little bit of a cough and like some post nasal or whatever, but like that's common post. Yeah. That's the worst though is when you feel physically fine, but you're just voice and throat and nose do not cooperate Exactly. That's why it's like man

Yesterday I was doing like bodyweight exercises. I Haven't been in a gym in like two weeks. I'm losing it. Well, I think it's pretty it'd be pretty nice to like Take it easy right like go for a walk instead of to the gym. I've been doing that two weeks Well, maybe keep walking get some fresh air go for a longer walk. You can only walk for so long. Nah, dude, you got to go down to like, I know you by by you. There's probably like, uh, the Philly station or, uh, old mules shack or, uh, Farga readies, you know, like go make it like a lunch walk. Go someplace, get some lunch, walk back, you know.

Yeah, but I've been walking. Folk and the cellies. I've even, I wake up, I have my coffee, I have like the door open, so I'm like in the air and the sunlight feels great. Then I'm like, all right, tomorrow I can fully talk again. But no. I'm just like, I'm on that border, you know what I mean? That's cause you're not going to Jimbo's Mexican. Like, there's gotta be something there for ya. That's true.

That'll spice you up. Maybe. Maybe that's what I'm liking. Like Steve's genuine ramen. You know, there's got to be something near you there probably is I think it's really just time it's my laryngitis hit like Wednesday and then uh Aaron Jitis hit Wednesday well my laryngitis hit Wednesday it was crazy I think it didn't help I record an entire pointless top ten understood that sounds right although Although I did, I think I watched that one. Which one was that? That was the scary one, right? Like the... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Right after that. Some solid shams promotion in that. Yeah,

it was pretty good. Pretty solid shameless. Yeah. You're like, if you want to see this one, I probably made a video of it. Go check out... I was like, yeah, that's good. That's what you gotta do. That's the YouTuber way. How's your week going? Dude, I think I was like, yeah, that's good. That's what you gotta do. That's the YouTuber way. How's your week going? Dude, I think I went full old man. It finally happened. I was going through, so my intention is to move apartments at the end of the year when my lease is up, right? So in my free time, I'm like pre packing things, not like putting in boxes, but

like ordering stuff so that when the time comes to put stuff in boxes, I can't, you know, it's almost November. So I'm like, I'll put it in boxes. I'll be ready to go. So I went through my records, right? And I noticed that I was missing one, or at least I assumed I was missing one. And it's one of my favorites, right? It's a, it's a live album from a band that I was missing one or at least I assumed I was missing one. And it's one of my favorites, right? It's a it's a live album from a band that I really love.

It was like, huh, I don't see it anywhere. Well, I know I got it. So I looked around my apartment, could not find it. I looked in every closet I have in like the three bins I have of stuff. Look through all of those. just could not find it. And I was like, what the hell would I do with this? So then I went and went to the office. I was like, well, maybe I brought it to the office for some reason.

I don't know why I bring a record to the office, but like, okay. So I started looking at the office. Nothing. Then I thought, well, maybe I'm just crazy because I have another album of theirs. And maybe that album is the one that I bought on accident instead of the live one. Went on my phone, went back and typed in the name of the band, went and looked, definitely bought it. It says right there 1123. So I bought it last year and I just for some reason can't find it. And I looked at it and I was like,

well, maybe they never sent it. I'm just crazy. But it was like delivered on this. I'm like, what the hell? And then I was like, I do remember playing it. I remember playing it. So why, why don't I have it? So I started tearing apart my apartment.

And now at this point, I'm like, okay, so my plan was to pack stuff and or at least set it aside to then be packed. Now I'm already packing. I'm like, all right, for my mental sake, if I just start putting stuff away and I close it up in a bin in order to be shipped for when I moved to a new apartment,

by the way, don't even have a new apartment. This is all potential things. I'm like, who I move to a new apartment by the way, don't even have a new apartment this is all potential things I'm like, who doesn't have a new apartment? So now I have three bins filled with stuff from like chords to like random stuff I need when I travel right, like if I wanna record things so all these bins, put the records in the bins now I have a record player, no records out

except for one record that I just got the other day shout out to the frog detective soundtrack which came It's really good. Um, so I've torn apart my apartment. I cannot find this I don't know what I did with it, dude But I know that I had it cuz at one point I remember vividly I was like I got it and I listened to it God, it was so good and I can't find it. I don't know what happened. And it's driving me crazy. I don't know if I lent it to someone, just forgot,

or if someone stole it, or if I'm just crazy and I really genuinely never got it, but it says I bought it. I don't know what's going on. And it's been making me nuts for the last 72 hours. And I've torn apart everything to the point where today, while I was waiting for you to film this, I just started Mary Condoing again.

I have now gone through both office and home and been like, I have too much stuff. That's why I keep losing it. I keep losing because I have too much stuff and I have too much stuff that I don't know what I have and because I don't know what I have, I lose it all the time. That's where I'm at.

I'm like a crazy person right now. Did you have a lot of things that don't spark joy? Here's the thing, I have a lot of things that I think will spark joy, but then they just sit there and I'm like, that will spark joy though. And it really doesn't. Why not?

I don't know if this is accurate, but I'm just gonna assume it is because it feels accurate. When I was teaching, I didn't own a lot of stuff. I was in a lot of debt. When I was in college, as I've said before numerous times, I owned one DVD and that was the movie, The Rock. So what I'm trying to say is for much of my life, I didn't have a lot of stuff.

And then when I finally am able to get things or when I'm sent things by brands or whatever it almost seems like too much and I feel like it's gonna spark joy because it's a really cool thing that is either like maybe a rare poster or a Really cool gadget that was sent to me or maybe I see something and I'm like, oh I'm buying that Now that I have the ability to do that stuff I realize I kind of liked it better before where I had less things and I wasn't overwhelmed by Physical objects. It is absolutely a first world problem I do not expect most people to be in the same category as me. I'm very fortunate

But with that being fortunate comes a lot of like excess and I've never been an excess person I'm not that kind of person who'd like go out and buy a yacht and then buy another yacht because I just had the money you know what I mean or I bought a plane like if I ever became that rich I don't know why I would do those things I feel like I'd be more along the lines of how could I help other people with this money rather than how can I get a bigger house? Oh yeah. I think you just hate having the burden of things. You're probably correct. It's probably why I don't have a pet. I have exactly one plant and that plant can live without me being there or not. I have less and less stuff all the time. And even then I moved into a smaller

apartment just to force myself to have less. And now I have less. And now I'm like, I could do less. I'm this all started because of one album and I couldn't find it. And all my albums are in one place. And I just, I gotta be honest. I think I have a problem. I think you got a problem too. But this could be good though.

Cause it could be one of those things where, you know, I don't want, like I'm watching less TV than ever. I spend less time on the computer at home. I am reading more at home. I'm like, try, I'm like getting rid of stuff, but it still seems like too much stuff, especially with the impending move. People often asked back in the day, they were like, Jesse, why do you keep getting rid of stuff? Are you like, are you going to die, dude?? What's going on? Like no, I just move so much It drives me crazy having to move stuff and now that I'm moving again. I'm like I got too much stuff. Oh

God, what am I gonna do with this stuff? I've never felt more crazy in my entire life like a gen You know It feels like when in the movies someone tries to explain how they saw the monster But no one else can see the monster and so they seem crazy. That's how I feel. I mean it's got to be somewhere. It has to be, but it's not.

The crazy thing was everyone was like just buy it again. I was like you can't. It was a one time thing that existed on their website a year ago for their live album and that's it you can't get anymore so like this is this is it or nothing and it's driving me crazy well do you remember getting it that's the thing I remember listening to it I remember listening to it in my living room while I was reading a book and like loving it and think it was so good and then I Just can't find it anymore

Maybe it's in the record player thing It's not because I literally put something in there last night to listen to it because I had in my Mary Kondo vibe I was like which of these do I even listen to anymore? So I went through almost all the records because you know some of them I just know I'll keep all right, but I went through almost all the records because some of them I just know I'll keep. But I went through almost all of them just to be like, what songs, is this even good? Why did I have this? Because a lot of times people just give me records

because they know I have a record player. Like, yeah, you'll love this. And I'm like, okay. And yeah, it's not there. I tore apart the shelf that it was in to see if I could find it, which hilariously, I did find something that I thought I had lost, which is even more funny. So I didn't find the thing I was looking for, but I found like an adapter that I was trying to find for a year and

I couldn't find, and it was crammed into the back of a thing, which is why part of me is like, I crammed the record into the back of something. Dude, this is the, I'm, I'm in a loop that is a spiral. It is bad for me. I'm going crazy. I mean, at least you found something. I did. I did find something and I was like, oh God, I'm so dumb. But then it reinforced the idea that maybe, just maybe it's still there. So now I'm freaking out. It's so goofy. I'm an absolute mess. And I've, I'm like, okay, what if I start taking stuff from my home and put it in the office? So I've left stuff at home and then I can search even harder for the things I'm missing. Like I, this is, are you

sure it's not at the office? Dude, I am sitting at the office now, and I went through everything trying to find it, and I'm letting you know It's not here Just trying to think of like where it would be I don't there's only two places on earth it could be What about unless I brought it to a friend's house and then left it, but that doesn't... Why would I ever do that? I would... That's not me. Yeah, I don't think you would do that. I don't know, because it's like... Would you...

Don't you have like record storage? I literally have a bookshelf that is all books and then two little spaces or two little shelves that were for records. And that's it. I put everything right there. And you know me me I'm obsessive So I'll once I use it. I'll put it right back where it was The guy I didn't I didn't just like leave it around

And you look through there like place. Oh, yeah, it's empty like I look through I looked under the shelf Yeah Yeah, that's weird. I have no idea. That's what I'm saying. It's driving me crazy because there's absolutely no way it would just vanish. So I don't know what happened. I have no idea. But I've gone through bins, I've gone through closets, I've gone through all sorts of shelving and everything in my home and there is not a damn thing there. Maybe somebody stole it.

Maybe dude. I mean like it's possible. I do have people over, but like why? The first off they would one have to have a record player, two be interested in this band, three be interested in the live version of the band, and four be willing to steal it. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. It's weird. Maybe a ghost did it. Maybe. Maybe. Like, at this point, I'm open to anything. Alien abduction. Sure. Yeah. All right. Maybe you threw it away. Dude, I honestly thought that. I was like, maybe I threw it away. Maybe I just, maybe I just was stupid and I put it in a box and threw it away for some reason. But then the shirt, I remember having the shirt and I put the shirt in my closet and then like, it ain't there dude. I don't know what's going on.

Maybe you dreamt it. But I have the email confirming payment and the shipping information. information maybe they set you up yes and then they broke into my home and stole back their record exactly seems most likely yes that seems yeah that's gotta be that seems correct no other solution no it has to be it thank you in my home broke in to stole back their record yeah they probably used us to sell it yeah I mean that's something bands. Don't do they don't want to sell their music Any good band wants to stay as low-key as possible and not have anyone buy their stuff exactly Right there we go. We solve that yeah prom solve What else is my week that was the last I've been tearing apart my entire life for the last 72 hours.

It's been crazy. Your entire life? Yeah, dude. Everything I own, like I went, it spiraled out of control so badly that I went to my car and like looked in my car, even though there's nothing in my car, and then was like, man, my car is dirty. So I went to go get my car washed that's where this viral it somehow ended up with me at the car wash uh yesterday morning sitting

there just like where did I put it where could it be I don't understand where's oh yeah meanwhile it just I'm descending deeper into madness how How was the car wash? Good. I mean, there's a bunch of local car washes. The one I wanted to go to that's the one that does like the soft-tuss where you can like do it yourself if you want, that was closed. So I went to like Jim Bob's Car Wash in Detail. And the guy tried to upsell me. My friend, what do you want? I wax car. It's cheap, it's very cheap. And I was like,

no, I'm good. Just a normal car wash is fine. He's like, only $119. I give cheap, it's cheap. I'm like, what? In what world is that cheap? No, I'm good, dude. And he's like, okay, you can't do today. Next time you pay now, the time a hundred and nineteen dollars already paid You get the wax is all good if you have no time today It's like that guy that puts the bracelet on you and he's like, alright you bought it I mean he was writing down the receipt for a hundred nineteen dollar like pro wax and I'm like no Like who falls for this clearly people that are just gonna be like I don't want confrontation Yeah, they're just like yeah, whatever

There's probably some LA people like that for sure. I mean, that's why otherwise you wouldn't do it, right? Yeah, so and then I just sat there with like a bunch of very Venice Beach people who had like their dogs one lady was talking on her phone the whole time. One guy was clearly high. There were two old men both driving Porsches. You know, LA. Yeah. I always just get the basic car wash. Yeah, big same. Most of the time I clean out the inside of my car by myself, so I don't need them to do all that. The only thing I'd really pay extra for is for like tire detailing, but like that's a once in a while thing. Tire detailing? What's that? Oh, they just make your tires not look like a, I don't know if it's a big deal in Chicago, because you have seasons, but here where it's sunny all the time and dry, your tires get like this, like, you know, the side that faces out?

Gets like a, like a, the rubber gets weird looking. Like a rubber that's been out in the sun for a while. So your tires look kind of jank. Plus your, the rims and stuff get all gunky with dust and like road grime and shit. So clean that out. And I don't have the tools to do that.

So I'm like, yeah, go nuts. But it's not something you would do all the time, I don't think. Maybe I'm wrong. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know enough about cars. Yeah. I try to keep my car as clean as possible just because my record could be in there and if my records there I gotta find it and I don't know I don't know where it is

Crandoor maybe it wasn't there the car wash guy took it story of my life no wax no record no record yeah by the way it's amazing this is like called Jimbo's and then dude is just like what are you doing? Like the most Russian guy I've ever seen my entire life. He probably is probably listening to that record right now. I Stole this from him. It is very good record Okay That'll teach him not to get $119 wax job Yeah, what does wax even do uh I guess protect it from

Dude I don't know I am no one no one taught me what wax actually does just make it shiny Yeah, I guess let me look this up. The wax layer protects your vehicle from harmful UV rays. Oh. Okay cool. Like sunscreen? Yeah right sunscreen for your car. Protects against pollutants, bird droppings, rocks, water, other contaminants. Does it though? Does it? It makes it easier to wash, makes it look shiny, reduces repair costs. I don't know that's true that it would reduce repair costs. It's that sounds like when one of those websites tells you all the benefits of something. It'll be like hotpubs.com and they're like the benefits

of hotpubs is they give you extra life. They grant you immunity They cure illnesses and you're just like, okay it definitely has the vibe of Like snake oil, but I know enough people do it that that can't be accurate. You know what I mean? Yeah I get enough people do it that I have to feel like it isn't the same thing where they're like We'll give you an undercarriage Whatever they used to do back in the 90s where they would be like an undercarriage shampooing or something like that they tried to scam people by saying that they would like shampoo the underneath of their car oh they're like it gets really dirt down there so you got to shampoo

that that was like a thing they used to do back in the day. I don't know if it's legal now but there's definitely scams like that. Yeah, I feel like if you have a really good car maybe the YX is good. Yeah, um, I Again, I think it's one of those like it looks nice things and so people will pay extra for it I'm not gonna pay you 119 dollars for it but actually maybe it's good if it was like 10 bucks more be like okay all right sure might be good in the winter with snow maybe but then like does the what because I imagine if it's hot the wax kind of like shines and but if it's the winter what's the deal is it gonna do would it crack does wax crack

would like repel the candle in the if you put a candle in in the freezer What's the deal? Is it gonna, would it crack? Does wax crack? Well like repel the snow. If you put a candle in the freezer, what happens? Uh. I mean I think it's the same thing. Maybe there's different wax. Okay, yeah, alright smarty pants, of course it is. Just saying. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. There's gotta be mechanics or something in our chat or that will let us know. Look, yeah. Let us know. Leave a comment. We don't know these things. Look, I don't know jack about cars. Me either. And the more cars change, I'm gonna let you know. I guarantee my dad who taught me the things I do know about cars none of those are applicable anymore yeah it's like make sure you get

the old 280 oil on your combobulator yeah like sir we don't make that anymore and no car uses that that's cuz you're all dumb. Tell us, tell us about the wax. Yeah. We'd love to know. Aside from that, I just sat at home and played wild, honestly. That's pretty good. That's you know what? I had a day this week that was like that where I did nothing, proudly did nothing. I was like, guys, I'm like guys. I'm kind of I'm kind of over stuff today Great. Yeah, I just didn't do a damn thing I sat around and I was like, maybe I'll maybe I'll like clean up or something. No, no, I thought you did clean up No, that was after this. This was I made it about a day before I had to clean up Okay, I see my brain was like I gotta clean up

Alright, let's go to weather. Weather. We got a request for Ponte Pryd, Wales. We've got an old bridge, Chinese restaurant, and a place called Grog Shop. I like all those things. I'm trying to determine how big that means this town is. Probably not huge.

Probably not. It is 53 degrees Currently feels like 50 30 inches of pressure five miles visibility 96 percent humidity 7 a.m. Sunrise for 52 p.m. Sunset 11 mile an hour winds 52 dew point zero UV index in a waning crescent moon 10 day, 59 on Monday, light rain, Tuesday, 59 cloudy, Wednesday, 58 cloudy, Thursday, 57 cloudy. I'm going to tell you right now, it's like 55 and cloudy every single day for

like the entire next, like two weeks. That sounds, that sounds right. You know what else sounds right? The fact that there's a place called cod father Which serves fish and chips right next to a place called the cock in so I'm feeling I don't feel pretty good about this This place is made for you. Yeah, but I can't find the grog the grog town. Whatever the hell that place is called I can't find it. Uh found

Greg fry I found big and tasty. I found Eb Fry. I found Big and Tasty. I found Ebony Confectory. It's got a lot of fun names here. Yeah, every place here is great. Hoffy Coffee. I don't see Grog anywhere. We're not been looking. Unless Craig is pronounced Grog. Or Grag. I think it's the Royal Oak is Chinese food. Maybe that's the Chinese place. I'm here for that, but I can't find the Grog. And I really want to find the Grog. Where's that Grog? Where's that? I found the skinny dog right next to the tumble inn.

Grog? Grog Shop! Okay, Grog Shop does exist. Where is it? I Googled it and found it it is uh If you see big and tasty keep going to the right on your thing Oh, I found it grog shop has a bunch of little dragons in it and faces I thought it was a food place. I don't know what this is, but it's not what I expected at all Footballer heads. Yeah, this is... This is wild.

I love this place. What do they sell though? They sell little things. They got a giant, like a statue of Luciano Pavarotti. They got a bunch, like, but what do they sell? They got a little sheep. Dragons. I guess that's it.

Yeah, that's all you need to sell there's a dragon here drinking there's also a bunch of a buff men taking a bath they're selling some interesting like rug rugby rugby and footballers maybe lot of rugby oh it's a rugby place for sure. This is a very UK place. Yeah, that's funny. That's why we couldn't find it. I was looking for a food place called the

Grog Shop. It's a place that'd be selling not food things. Exactly. It's a Welsh gift shop. For Grog sheep, land of dragons, John's vintage range. What? That's what they sell. All Welsh things, land of my fathers. There's also sheep, grog sheep.

Yeah, let's talk about those sheep. Imagine a bunch of drunk sheep. Honestly, I feel like I'd see one of these in your house. Yeah, I'd buy one This one hold on no one else can see this way. I just need to show you this because it's really funny This is the one I think you'd have it's straight up just a Sheep with buck teeth, and he's kind of looking at you like whoa. It looks drunk Something about him's weird.

He's great. That is a good one. I would definitely get that one. It says, we'll miss you, but it's spelled E-W-E, very cute. Yeah, this is even all the little weird animal characters. Yeah, in a way they kind of look like Warhammer 40K characters. A little bit. Except they're playing rugby, but they have like a vibe to them that is violent. Like they'd fight an intergalactic war.

Here, look at the mascots. Yep, yep. They have, there's a vibe there. The best part about this is the mascots for, I assume, different rugby teams around the world. You have sort of Chile with this Condor, you have a Canadian Beaver, you have a British and Irish lion. You have an Australian Wallaby. You have like a French cock.

You have a, like a horse from Italy. You have a New Zealand Kiwi of all these different things. But then from Fiji, the mighty palm tree. I love that all these are various animals and then Fiji is the palm tree. To be fair, it's a pretty cool palm tree. It's, I mean, it looks awesome. I just think it's really funny that there's all these different animals like an English bulldog, an Irish wolfhound, a Portuguese Rooster. You got like over, you know, the Welsh have the Dragon, a United States Eagle, South African Springbok.

You got all these different things. And then just Fiji Palm Tree. It couldn't be like Fiji Man Eater. It was like a shark. It literally is just a palm tree with a very angry expression. Yeah, he's really angry. Maybe he's angry. They chose palm tree He's like I was just sitting here. I gotta go to work get out of here Yeah

That's the weather oh Right, let's go to sports speaking of sports sports, let's see Dodgers one on that big Grand Slam the other day that's pretty crazy happened it was amazing yep I was watching that live they're up

to nothing that series basketball started they've played like three games out of like 82 so they got a while NHL started they've played like 10 games out of like 80 something so they got a while football happened today Bears lost in a big Hail Mary that's pretty crazy Buffalo six and two Let's see, Green Bay 6-2 now they won, Lions 6-1 they won. Chiefs are 7-0 somehow. They'll probably win the Super Bowl honestly. We're actually at the halfway point of the NFL season, pretty wild.

That's crazy to think like it just it feels like it just started but I guess you're right. Yeah it flies by. In fact we got a Halloween in a few days. It's true and then suddenly November look at us. Look at that. Okay. What is our fact of the day? Fact of the day. Day. Day. A horse normally has like that's all I had to say a horse. A horse. That's a good fact.

A horse normally has more than one horsepower. What? A study in 1993 showed that the max power of a horse can produce 18,000 watts, around 24 horsepower. A horse has got 24 horse powers. So, so the idea of horsepower being one horse equals one horsepower, but really a horse has 24 horsepower. Yes. It's as crazy as I think it sounds, but I understand it. You know what

I mean? Like I get it. It sounds bonkers, but like I get it. Yeah. It is kind of weird, honestly. Yeah. Cause I guess everything would be equated to it would take, if you had like 80 horsepower, then you would imagine that's 80 horses pulling you. But really it's 80 times 24 is what you're telling me. Yes. Fascinating. Okay, look at this. Learning something new. Yeah, that was pretty good. Yeah, that was a pretty good fact. All right, sir, has anyone come to us with tears in their eyes? Yes. 18 people.

Oh boy. More every week. so many questions Dear illustrious sirs with tears in my eyes I ask you aliens invade and grant human superpowers which powers would you get? they granted us superpowers the aliens just landed and we're like here have superpowers yep do we need to decide what powers I guess that's what it's saying but I was like wouldn't they just give it to us and be like here you were bestowed with the power of sight like I don't know um I'd want the power to Like become invisible Why oh cuz I use it for evil I'd rob banks and shit

When they find out No, cuz I'm invisible. I feel like they'd figure it out. No, I'm invisible. I break into the home of like rich people. Steal their records. Yeah, that makes sense. You know, I do all sorts of stuff. Yeah. I wouldn't be a good... You couldn't give me superpowers. I'd abuse it. I'd probably take teleportation. Oh, that's a good one. That's very good.

However, the rules have to apply like how would it work? You know what I mean? Like the teleportation Did you have to have seen it? Do you have to currently see it? What if you teleport and you end up dead like, you know, cuz the earth is moving So what if you teleport you end up like in a wall? Would account for that Okay, but how far you teleport? it depends Teleporting far takes a lot of energy so what kind of energy does it take it makes you tired if you teleport far yes like if I teleported to Japan I would have to sleep for like 12

hours damn dude although could you imagine if you teleport to Japan then you teleport back? You're like, dude, I'm gonna get a good night's sleep tonight. Yeah, but then you might die. Then you use the barge juice. Oh, all right, see, mine wouldn't be that. I would just be invisible and then break into like,

grocery stores at night and take stuff. I mean, that's fair too. Yeah, I'm not going to please. I'm just good or I'd walk like my plan simple go to the mall wait till it closes because I'm invisible. I'll just sit on a park bench and wait and then when everyone leaves that it's time to strike. You know, everyone always asks what superpower

you'd want which one would you not want? Oh man um hearing people's thoughts probably would suck. I was gonna say the same thing. Like that would drive me crazy. I already hear their thoughts in YouTube comments. Yeah I don't need to know what everyone thinks about me all the time. In fact, it's a relief that I try not to care. I'm like, you know what? I'm over it. Yeah, no, that's the least one I'd want. I will say the version of that that I like, sort of being able to hear people's thoughts, but it isn't in your head constantly, would be the ability to rewind time a few seconds at a time

So like maybe one minute so I so if I said something stupid and they were like you're dumb I could rewind time and undo it you know what I mean? That's if someone gave me shit I had like a good comeback, but I didn't think of it at the time and then I walk away I'm like oh, I rewind time and it'd be like I'm gonna roast you right now That's what I do or if you get a concussion and hit your head cleaning ants off the floor You'd rewind it. Yeah, but in that case because you hit your head and I assume this is a brain power You might rewind time but end up with dinosaurs

That's true cuz you hit your head and now you're like my brain powers out of whack That would be kind of fun. Actually, be terrible what do you mean that'd be fun to live with the dinosaurs you would die instantly would be fun if I didn't have to go through it somebody else like a TV show had it happen but I'm sure it has I'm sure it definitely has they hit their head they went back in time and it went back to the dinosaurs pretty shots an episode of house or something. Oh, maybe Doctor house is like who are these dinosaurs? It's not lupus, but it is a velociraptor. I'll do one more

All right. Hmm. We got If you were teleported to the Shrek universe, which side character would you be oh That's easy. I'd'd be Donkey I'm no fool Yeah bring up the list. I'd be Donkey because actually no Donkey's who I think I would be but I'd be the gingerbread man. Not the gumdrop buttons! That'd be me. Yeah you would.. I know. I want to be Donkey because like I like the idea of banging a dragon. But yeah, I don't. I don't know. You know who I realized who we are? I know exactly who we are in that universe. I'm the gingerbread

man and you're Pinocchio. Yeah, probably. We're not the main characters, but we hang around them and Everyone knows of us, but like no one cares Hey, you're sadly right Yeah Actually, no, I know what it would be You'd be the gingerbread man, and I'd be the gingerbread man's giant version mongo You'd be the gingerbread man, and I'd be the gingerbread man's giant version mongo What oh you'd be like oh no mongo. I'd be like mongo love

There it is yep done look at that. We're so good at this yeah All right, what is our big news story today? big news story I don't even know what this means. We're gonna find out. Oh boy King Conquer cleared over cheating allegation King Conquer Yep, co NK er like Conquer's bad fur day. Yes Okay, hit me. London. A British...

I don't know why the way you said that made me laugh. London. London. A town. A place. A home for many. A British chestnut whacking competition. Oh, there it is.

A British chestnut-whacking competition, oh, there it is, champion, was cleared Monday of cheating after an investigation at the World Conker Championships. Do they call chestnut-whacking conquering? I guess so. Interesting. Do you think that's why his name was Conker because he ate chestnuts? I don't know.

Did we discover the origin of Conker from Conker's Bad Fur Day? It might actually be. That is a very British game. Organizers of the Nutty Annual Event said, Dave Jakins, a veteran competitor nicknamed King Conker, did not use a steel chestnut to conquer his rival. The traditional game played by British school children

involves players using Conker's glossy brown seeds of the horse chestnut tree Threaded onto a string to try and smash their opponent's chestnut That must be I think it actually is the the origin jacquens 82 won the men's tournament But organizers launched an investigation after they claimed he might have used a steel chestnut in his pocket. They studied film and photo evidence, took testimony from judges and umpires, and concluded it would be near impossible for him to swap the Conkers unnoticed.

They accepted his claim that he had the steel Conker to amuse people as part of his role as King Conqueror. Organizers also said the losing finalist, Alistair Johnson Ferguson accepted defeat with good grace and sportsmanship. Stop. Stop. Hold on. What are the two names of these gentlemen again? The 81 year old is? Dave Jakins. And the upstart guy who lost is?istair Johnson Ferguson these are the most like if you had to have two characters one called King Conquer and the other one is Alistair Ferguson whatever the hell is last like this is yeah this is perfect for like a movie about Conkers. It is.

The overall title of World Conker Champion was won by Kelsey Banchbach, originally from Indianapolis. 34-year-old was crowned Queen Conker after beating Jenkins in the final. First American to win it since the World Conker Championships began in 1965. So I'm looking up the rules for this and this is amazing. The rules, here are some variant rules on how to play. So the game is played between two people, each with a

conquer. They take turns hitting each other's conquer using their own. One player lets the conquer dangle on the full length of the string and the other player swings their Conker to hit it. The point, a point is scored for a Conker surviving a hit that causes the other to break. The point is scored irrespective of whether the surviving Conker was attacked or defending at the time. The score of the game is considered to be a property of the conquerors themselves. A new conqueror is a nun-er, meaning that it has not defeated any others yet and thus has no score. As a conqueror accumulates points, its designation changes to reflect the total. A nun-er becomes a one-er, then a two-er, and so on. In some areas

of Scotland, conqueror victories are counted using the terms bully one, bully two, etc. In some areas of the United States and Canada, conqueror victories are counted using the terms bully one, bully two, et cetera. In some areas of the United States and Canada, conquer victories are counted using the terms one Kinger, two Kinger, et cetera. And Brooklyn, New York in the 1940s, a winning chestnut was referred to as a killer and the value of the chestnut was defined by its number of kills. It's in some regions. So this is like a boxing match between nuts. And if you keep winning, you have like a better match between nuts and if you keep winning you have like a better

designated nut this is this is something I didn't know existed neither did I this is like discovering pickleball for the first time this is blowing my mind it really is maybe this will be the next pickleball I guess it probably already is for a lot of people in In some regions the winning conqueror receives all the points accumulated by the losing ones in addition to gaining one point for the defeat. So for example if a two-er defeats a three-er it would become a six-er, two plus three plus one. Other regions only award one point to the winner regardless of loser score. However there

are some other rules and I love this. If the strings become entangled, the first player to shout strings or stringzies has an extra turn. If one player drops their Conker, the other can shout stamps or stampzies, entitling them to break the Conker on the ground by stamping on it. Shouting no stamps before the other player stamps prevents the stamping. on it shouting no stamps before the other player stamps prevents the stamping. This is this absolutely has the feel of a sport created by a bunch of school kids and they just kept adding ridiculous rules and I love this. It really does. It seems absolutely perfectly innocent. Yeah. And it's like they're just taking nuts and whacking nuts together. This is like The most basic form of kids being bored

It really is that's how things are invented And really I mean you're not wrong. It's impressive. I love this Yeah, if you type in conquer you can see people playing it on YouTube. I It's incredible. I'm so, you know what? This is an important news story for everyone. This really was one of our most important we've had in some time. And I understand why they had to put rules to this

because otherwise you're just whacking your friends with nuts on a string. Yeah, exactly. And I feel like that's also a game you could play where you just run around beating up friends with nuts on a string. It probably did devolve into that. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Before someone was like, guys, we need rules. We need to establish some rules here, guys. Just gotta get out of control.
