It's that Cocks and Crandall in the morning! Beep beep beep beep beep beep! Crandall in the morning! Hello everybody! Welcome to Cocks and Crandall in the morning! Actually I should say welcome to another episode of the cox and crendor of the morning! Actually I should say welcome to the now world famous cox and crendor in the morning. Crendor are you aware that we are celebrities now? I am but for the sake of this bit no how is that? Well in case you weren't messaged by everyone on planet earth today, apparently we are HBO

stars now. Us and Al Swearingen, we're really up there. Tony Soprano, The Penguin, I'm just like all of them. Sex and the City, I'm like Kim Cattrall dude. You really are. I've always said that about me. I've always said that about you as well. Yeah, yeah. Well, for those who don't know,

apparently no one told us this was happening. There's a show on HBO about Florida Man. I guess it's a series that does little micro-documentary things about weird Florida Man stories and talks to the people who are involved. And in the fourth episode, it is the infamous 2 a.m. spaghetti burning down a house episode

that we did years ago. And in it, they feature the Cox and Krendor animation. Our voices aren't in it, it's just Dan's animation. And then some dude on a stoop being like, they even made a YouTube video about it. And then he's like, I don't understand it. Which I wanna believe he means the cartoon and not he doesn't understand the popularity of the story.

I want him to be like, I don't understand the cartoon, which is exactly what I'm going for. Love it, love that dude. I was so pleased when I saw that. A bunch of people were like, dude, do they use that with your permission or not? I was like, I'll be real with you. What am I gonna do, sue him? Like that would cost permission or not I was like I'll be real here what am I gonna do soon like that's more money than I like no I'm all right we're HBO stars now dude we're on the HBO that's

what it's all about yeah it's the little victories we've been doing this for a decade it's finally paying off we it. Yeah. I bet the other podcast you listen to isn't on HBO. We are. We are. That's true. We're on HBO. We're on... That's it. Yeah. I wonder if HBO will give us a deal to do... Remember when Ricky Gervais had his podcast on HBO? And then Animations? Oh yeah. where's that for us give us a deal HBO yeah they're gonna pay us yeah you know what we'll do it for like the cost of like one of those like elective surgeries it's like make my butt look bigger whatever that whatever the cost of that is that's got to be like 1020

grain yeah so like I'll do it for that know what I do it for that too yeah we're not even need but surgery yeah it I'll take his money from my double butt surgery it wait no I want to look like that lady who keeps making videos about how people letter on planes so she only has to fly private jets because she's like cuz I feel about but was much, I can't sit in the normal seats. I haven't even seen that. Anyway, yeah, that's what I want.

But for me. Right. Right. Right. I have not thought this through at all. HBO, contact us. Yeah, really just, we need to be contacted by HBO. Maybe they'll see our tweets.

Yes, maybe they'll be like, wow, these are the guys, huh? Who are in that exactly three seconds of footage. Maybe that, I mean, we got other ones. We got other Florida mains. True. And we sold out a show in Chicago. So at Christmas, we're very popular. Some might say too popular. I just want HBO to give us money.

Oh yeah, no, I don't even care for what. I just want to get a check that says HBO on it and I'm like, yeah. Actually, it would probably suck and say Max and that wouldn't be the same. That would be dumb, yeah. Yeah, that wouldn't be the same. Anyway, how are you, dude, besides famous now? I mean, we're both famous. True, true, true, but I'm asking besides our fame which we both have yeah

I mean, I'm doing better. I my voice is Coming back you don't sound like a crazy person anymore. Who's like I? For people are wondering I did a lot of editing last time the last episode I did a lot of editing because time. The last episode, I did a lot of editing, because Crendor would be like, I have things to say. And I'd be like, OK, I need to trim this down. That's fair enough.

I wanted the episode to keep moving. It's like, oh boy, we're going to have to work on this. But I didn't want you not to be able to speak your voice my oh no voice is it's pretty much bag great only thing is if I like over talk like yesterday I was I did pointless top ten Audio which I'm still editing today because I did a few more today and then We did the the movie night and I kept great as always Yep, that was great. I kept being like gooby with the 20 months

Jimmy with the hundred months and then after that it started being like But it didn't like it wasn't like terrible and it came back after like a little bit of resting it so I get so we're in the home stretch here like I'm I'm I'm feeling good much better than where I was a week ago you sound it you sound better you don't sound like a complete mess I imagine you're still going through like some nasal stuff but you sound good it's I mean I don't even got any nasal stuff that's just me okay all right it's mainly it's like the

it's like the vocal looks like the voice box you know it gets a little like crunchy or starts being a little like it wears out a little fast you got to re-strengthen those muscles I need to figure out how to make my vocal cords in the morning operate well. I will seem fine and then I'll start talking and then it's immediate frog in my throat. I mean if you're waking up you sound like a

chain smoker that's probably bad. Well I don't know I don't sound like a chain smoker I'll be talking to you like this and then I'll be like so then anyway Quindar was like like you, bleh, bleh. Like, you know, I have like a little thing in my throat. It's probably phlegm or something gross. And I'm like, well, I don't want to cough it up on stream. That's super gross. So-

Did you eat something before? No, I mean, I probably had something to drink or, you know, I'm not doing anything too crazy. What would you drink? Water or coffee. Cause I was gonna say like dairy stuff can flem me up. Oh, absolutely dairy does, yes. That's why I don't drink dairy in the morning anymore.

Yeah, I don't really like actual dairy milk, like drinking it, you know? I like almond milk more than that. Yeah, I can't do almond milk, you know me. It milk more than that yeah I can't do all milk you know me it makes me massively poop I think you're just allergic to all types of milk at this point uh I like oat milk I don't like drinking it but I like it in

coffees like the other day had an oak oat milk apple crisp something or other that was pretty good was a pretty good drink oat milk does taste pretty good. It was a pretty good drink. Oat milk does taste pretty good. I've had it just straight up. Kind of tastes like graham crackers. Yeah. I think in a coffee, if especially if you're getting like a latte, it works really well. It's actually a pretty great flavor. But, uh, you know, again, I like the other day I went and, uh, had brunch and all I just got was straight black coffee and

it does the trick every time so I'm not gonna complain. Oh yeah. How many times do you just get black coffee versus your fancy stuff? Most of the time it's black coffee. If I'm feeling a vibe I want the fancy stuff. You can't convince me otherwise. If I wake up that day and I am hankering for a latte it's happening. I see. But most of the time I just want like a little cup of black liquid and then you just keep it coming. Like pour me another one let's

go. See I started doing pour over coffee. That's pretty good. I think pour-over is the best. Yeah, I think so too. If you get, it's one of the stupid things where by saying if you get the right tools, you know, it's kind of a douchebag way to put it, but like there are specialized pour-over products that exist that will amplify exactly what you're doing. You know, because at the end of the day you're just pouring hot water onto a bunch of ground beans. But the way it's done changes the taste. And so, like there are some really amazing filters

you can get that absolutely change the quality of things. There's gravity defying, like coffee bongs or whatever the hell they got out there. That you put the, there's a whole bunch of stuff. And if you have like a really good one, game changer, absolute game changer. I got one on Amazon for 15 bucks. And all you do, it's got the little like filter thing

and then a plate and you put it over the cup. And so then you just put the little filter in and you pour it and it drips into the cup and that's it. I like that. I like that a lot. The only problem is that I would then have to go out and buy a bunch of ground coffee or grind my own coffee, which I just it's just me. So it isn't like a big making it for a group people thing. It's straight up just me. So at the moment, coffee isn't at the office or on the way to the office thing. If I'm at home, it's tea. Because I can have tea pretty much any time of day and be chill.

I got herbal teas. I got the vocal teas. I got the... when I was in London, did I tell you this? When I was in London, the hotel I stayed at was so thankful I stayed there because I've got like mega ultra points with them that they were like, thank you, Mr. Cox for once again staying with us. we got you a gift and it was just like a bunch of teas from like a very fancy tea shop in London and so I have teas that are like one of them is a citrus bee pollen tea dude it's great it's very good It's very good! I...

Here's the thing, I do have... My ground... My coffee grinder and beans, alright? Sure. But like, that's the best part, you have your beans, you just put a little bit in, you don't need a lot. Grind them up, there you go. Like, you don't gotta go too easy. But you have like, a great schedule that I envy. In my mind

I'm like, okay, I gotta wake up early enough to Grind the beans put the beans in the thing pour over wait for the pour over to stop Maybe pour some more water on there plus take a shower plus get ready for the day and be out the door I don't wake up early enough to do all that stuff and get out the door. It only takes five minutes Strongly disagree. That's not true. That's not true. I don't know what you're doing.

There's a whole process. Well, let me tell you. I wake up, I lay in bed for about five minutes, pull my phone off the cord, look at it and say, oh God, I had zero emails yesterday and now I have 105 emails, great. I put that down, I go in the bathroom. I turn on either like a podcast or something that I enjoy. Lately, rewatching every single episode

of Kitchen Nightmares on YouTube. It's been a blast. I absolutely love it. So I'm going through that. I think at this point I've seen every episode about 12 times. Don't care. Love it. So I'll put that on and then I'll like brush my teeth. I'll trim up the old beard. I'll do like, Hey, anything else in me, a mess. Maybe like, Ooh, my ear is hairy. Got to get rid of that. So I'll do that situation. Then I'll usually try to get in some sort of workout thing. Uh, all of this is also because the water in my apartment, it doesn't, I don't have a hot water heater. So it takes time for it to heat up. So I'll also, when I turn on the shower, sometimes

I will, because I'm stupid, forget to turn the shower on to let it warm up while I'm brushing my teeth and doing all that stuff or whatever. I'm not going to do a workout. That's too much time. That's a waste of water. So sometimes I'll turn it on, be like, Oh man. And I go sit on my bed and then just scroll through Reddit while I patiently wait the two or three minutes for it to heat up. And then I go back in the shower. I'm taking a shower. I'm doing all that. By the time I get through all this, I'm already looking at the time like I gotta go. I gotta, I gotta, I'm gonna, I'll get something real quick on the way out or I'll get someone on the way there. I still think you have time to do a pour over coffee. You, I mean like, you're right, but it's not going to happen. The requirement is I go upstairs, put on the hot water, grind the beans, put the beans in the thing, come back down, stick a shower, go up.

And like, it's just a lot of steps. And I don't think, I think we've discussed this, bud. I have mega ADHD. I will forget steps three through six and like go about my day. There's been times where I've made a drink, poured the drink, left the entire apartment, went to work, came back, saw the drink on the counter and was like, Oh yeah, I did. So I don't, I am entirely focused on what's in front of me for the day. And so when I wake up the next morning, I have my clothes already out. I know exactly what I'm going to wear. I know where my stuff is so I can be like, bup bup bup, I'm up the next morning I have my clothes already out I know exactly what I'm gonna wear I know where my stuff is so I can be like bup bup bup I'm out the door you're a crazy person I mean yeah that is insanity can't help it

it's what it is it's who I am, I think I actively, it's like the, I like repel what you're talking about. What is it you think I'm talking about? Just like being in a hurry to get started and do things. Yes. Oh, that is me in the morning. I'm like, I got stuff to do. And I've made it so I try to get as much done as possible in the morning. I'm like, I got stuff to do and I've made it so I try to get as much done as possible in the morning. So I'm in a let's get stuff done. And then if I'm tired later in the day or I just want to like take time for me, I can do that. But in the morning, I'm like, let's go. I'm ready. I got stuff to do every morning.

Yeah, but that's crazy. Ah, maybe for you. But for me, it's how I get stuff done. It's how I manage my entire business. Yeah. But so you, do you just constantly get stuff done in the morning that like there's no other time of day? Oh, uh, for me it's either morning or exactly 1230 at like at after midnight. My body will just be like, dude, what if we clean the apartment I'm like no I'm not gonna fall for this we're gonna start doing this and I'll be up till 3am cleaning and I'm just trying to reclaim my time no we're going to bed early Jesse yeah no no no no I there's only two speeds I go it's either in the morning or at night

I'm like ready to do stuff or during the day where I'm like well I worked pretty hard I'm like I'm done I just I think I just hate the pressure of doing stuff well I mean that's pretty obvious but that's what I mean if I was like you know tomorrow I'm gonna wake up I'm gonna do this thing I'm gonna make coffee I'm gonna do this and like plan it all out I would just hate it and it would make me not want to do any of it and I just in fact I would probably just do a worse job at everything well now you know my situation where if I don't plan I will forget to do it and if I do plan I end up hating

the fact that I have to do these plans and get stuff done. Like I, as a catch 22, I do not like you are not incorrect that it does suck, but otherwise I would not remember to do it. It's the reason why I keep writing stuff. Like we have these conversations about calendars. If I don't, if I don't have it written down, if I don't have knowledge of what's going to happen, even if I wrote it down. Wednesday by Thursday, I will have Even if I wrote it down Wednesday, by Thursday,

I will have forgotten. I wrote it down. Let's say look and check like, Oh yeah, I wrote that down. It happens way more than you think. What if you just put a whiteboard in every hot, like every room you have? Uh, I tried that. And if you recall the reason why it didn't work that well is cuz I'd write down in one place and then Be like well write it down the others later, and then just never do it. Oh Yeah, I guess that's true. Well. You would have like your main Rooms you went into that you would use more

I mean now literally the thing I use most of the time is on my computer at work and at home. I have a synced One of these damn things called sticky notes, the sticky notes they have on Windows. And I literally have one on my desktop staring me in the face at all times when I load up the computer that says, this week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and has things listed under them.

And every day before I leave on Friday, I fill out what the next week's gonna be. You wanna hear the most I've ever been organized? Please, tell me. On my whiteboard, I wrote down Here are the things I have to get done this week, and it'd be like pointless top ten wow GeoGuessr Stream this game this day, and I just write those like things on

the board and then throughout the week I'd check them off. Hmm. That was it and you know what it worked. So you have goals and stuff but you're not doing meetings right? No. I don't have anything to have meetings over. Yeah like the difference is that for for example, this upcoming week, I have things written down. So like today, for example, I went to a baby shower. I was going to 100% forget that because they sent me an invite two months ago. So I had to write that down like, okay, remember this and then go check the schedule and then write it down so that today I could see baby shower today, 10am, go to to that okay um on Tuesday I have a meeting at 2 p.m.

on every Wednesday have to write down 3 p.m. jilluminaughtii I have to write that down otherwise or Friday I have 8 a.m. geek enters that kind of stuff um I have a thing here that says be sure to send gift right um so like you know just trying to get stuff done. So I do it rather, cause a big problem with me. And this has been, I think a lot of people that have either ADD or ADHD, or maybe it's just a personality type. I will wait to the last minute to do anything ever, forever. When I was a kid, if it was an assignment, I wait till last minute. If it was, you know, a thing I had to get done around the house, last minute. I would always always wait and it's genuinely a problem. It isn't fun or cool.

Everyone who has had this, who exists with this, if they like, you know, you see a lot of people be like, you know, I get on my own schedule that kind of stuff. Not cool. You are, if you have a project due, not cool. You're just wasting your time. Get it done early. So I've had to reset myself, but in doing that, it means I get stuff done immediately. Like if a thing pops up in my email, every morning I'll go through my emails and clear it out. I may get back to it later that day, but most likely not till the next day.

So I make sure all my emails are cleared, and then I like am actively trying to be a better human being and clear out my life. Very similar to my home. Like removing stuff that will get in the way of how I view things which is mostly what's right in front of me. I mean I can see that makes sense then because you definitely did used to be worse. Absolutely, oh absolutely I'm very well well aware it's been an active progress thing I'm trying to do. However you could make pour-over, you know what how dare you? That's the main point all right you you got five minutes scheduled in there.

Alright, to just do the pour over coffee. But I'd have to buy like the beans, I'd have to buy that pour over coffee set stuff. I'm fine. I don't even get how that's the worst part. Like buying coffee beans. Yeah, but for me it is, because I'm the guy trying to get rid of stuff so you're telling me I have to buy at least two new products well you're getting rid of stuff you don't use yeah but I don't know that I'd use it that often

according to you I'd use it but according to me not so often so the main thing is you wouldn't use it but I'd like the idea of having it. Why? Just so you have better tasting coffee than if you go to a... Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, that is the correct answer, yes. Alright, you know what, that's fair enough. I understand that. Yeah, I like the idea of it, but not the reality, not the truth. Honestly, that's a lot of people with a lot of things. Some people like the idea of, really just a lot, in fact, some people like the idea of being like a YouTuber streamer and then they try it out and they're like yo I don't like this anymore. Way more than you think yeah. Because it's, there's just a lot that

goes into it, especially if it's not your full-time job like for us where you have to manage another job and your life and do it at the same time I couldn't even imagine doing that. I would never recommend that yeah for anyone who's like I want to do YouTube while I do another job I don't see how it's possible. Yeah it's like the only reason I was able to do YouTube before I did it as a living is because I lived at home and I was like 20. So like same. Yeah. I lost my job and had to move back home and I had nothing going on. Like that's, it explains absolutely why there's some people who started doing YouTube over COVID. They literally had nothing better to do.

Yeah. It's in fact what blew my mind too. I got one of those ugly Twitch statues. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. the purple one congrats it's like you stream 50 million hours to people or whatever it was and I realized how small of a like achievement that is because they only they only made like 3,500 of them or something and so I was like that's actually kind of insane that out of like millions and millions of people that have streamed and like twitches been around for over 10 years and we're like one of 3,500 to do that it's crazy to me that that's just an expression of time really

we've been doing it so long that if we didn't it'd be kind of embarrassing yeah exactly it's just because we've been here for so long we're just kind of you accumulate over them but listen you know what some of the people right now that are in like years two and three let's see them in like 12 years all right let's see where they are. I hope well. I hope not like us. We're like we'll take your money HBO please please Please God HBO I'm doing way better than us. We are willing to sell ourselves short for HBO money But you know what we've got trophies

Mine bleeds Mine it's like supposed to be bleeding and it looks kind of weird I never understood bleed purple I never will yeah it's listen I'm not bleeding for any corporation alright yeah no I'm alright if they like but I'll take the trophy it's nice to put on the mantle exactly it's it's one of those things really listen I'm happy they exist

yeah pay me. I enjoy streaming. But if everybody that streams right now moved over to like, Gooby Town streaming and it was like a normal streaming platform just better than Twitch, I'd be gone. Yeah, 100%. If there was ever any competition with YouTube or Twitch or any of that that wasn't like, come to kick, we're all gambling, I would ditch in a heartbeat. Yeah, 100%.

I have zero loyalty. I got no special contract with anyone. It's just not happened and it probably won't. I'm not doing anything special. I just show up and I'm like, who wants to talk about this video game I'm playing? All right, cool. And that's it. Exactly. But you know what? That's what it's all about. You have to just, in fact the biggest thing is you have to be on multiple platforms.

Yeah. Which is also one of the worst things if you hate that. Yeah it's the same thing with social media Yep, now going on the other one blue sky. Yeah. Yeah, and like listen. I made my blue sky. I went there I'm like hey everybody. I'm here But I'm just like God. It's another app I mean all it is is I'm now posting the same thing to multiple places, which is such, such a pain in the ass. But I have to cause it's one of those things where it's part of the business. So that's what we got to do. Yeah. It's a, you know what? I'd still take doing this over

many, many other things. Well, let me tell you about, about celebrity here for a minute, because sometimes I realize like we're suckers in the celebrity game there's people out there you know people like wow I love Cox and Krendor no we're trash we're trash you don't love us I so yesterday I went out to brunch and hung out with a bunch of really amazing people love them to death but we went to this place called Soho House here in LA. And Soho House, Cranador, is an exclusive club for creative types. Oh boy. Yes. You have to pay a membership. It has an underground parking garage that you're not supposed

to... Like there is no sign that says that's where it's at. You just have to know where to go. And then the valet comes and gets it, and then you have to go meet with people. This is how I knew I didn't fit in. And even though I had a lovely time and in general, it was, it was very beautiful. It's at the top of this building and it looks over the city. However, when I first got there, I walk in and there's kind of like a waiting room with an elevator in the back. So this is clearly the first line of defense from people that do not belong. And the guy at the desk was like, sir, hello. Welcome.

Uh, are you meeting someone here? So already he was like, this guy's not a member. He was like, nah, this guy doesn't belong here. So you meeting someone, uh, do you know their member number? Do you? And I'm like, oh God. So I pull up my phone and start texting people like, what do I do here? I finally get the information.

The guy lets me in. I go in the elevator. I go all the way up by the way, one button in this elevator, which means all the other parts of this building, you are not accessing them through this. This is literally just for the club. This is like, you got to go to the special room for a special elevator. You know, like that kind of stuff. And I go look around and I see, um, a bunch of people. It was pretty early in the morning yesterday. I see a bunch of people and, uh, one guy's like sitting there

flirting with some girl and it's very clear. He brought her there. It's like, it's a bridge date. Two guys are writing a script on a laptop. There was one guy who was kind of by himself, but he looked like the son of someone. You know what I mean? Like he had that air about him of like, I'm very important. You just don't know who I am. But he was like by himself eating porridge or something.

I don't know. And then there were a bunch of people outside staring out over all of LA. It was beautiful. But I'm trying to find the people I'm looking at. You know, it's a big sort of penthouse-y area. So I'm trying to find the people I'm there to meet so we can have breakfast. Or in this case, brunch.

And as I'm looking around, a random woman stops me and is like, sir, hi. By the way, I don't think you can get into this place unless you check in. So already I've checked in. So I thought it was fine. Nope. I get up there. This random woman comes to me with her like giant thing of iced coffee. She's like, sir, hot. Are you looking for someone? No. Like, uh, yes, I'm looking for my friends. I'm meeting them here for brunch. And she's like, lovely, lovely. Um, do you know who they are? I'm like, I, yeah, no, I definitely know who they are. I'm looking for him right now. And she's like, wonderful. Do you have their numbers so we can see if they checked in? I'm like, I checked in downstairs. She's like, right, right. I just want to do it again.

Just to get, she kept looking at me like I'd snuck in. I so clearly don't belong in Hollywood circles, Crendor. It is so obvious to me. That's not my people. None of like, I'm not cool enough. No one there. All my friends were chill. Everyone else was like who is this guy? What is he doing here? Is he going to harass me? Is he here to harass people? That's the vibe I got. It's uh they looked at you in disgust because you're the guy that attracts all of the social attention outside of these places. I mean, I don't know if that's true.

But I mean, like, if you mean random men on the street asking me for money, then yes. That is who I mean, yes. Ah, all right, right. Cool, yeah. It was a weird vibe. Everyone there was just like, hello, right. Cool, yeah. Yeah. It was a weird vibe. Everyone there was just like, hello, sir. But the funniest part was just talking with everyone. They were all like, yeah, no, dude, this place sucks.

I was like, oh, okay. Like, it's just like a Hollywood thing. You know, if you're big in the Hollywood industry, like, this is where people hobnob, so sometimes you gotta come here. But like, it's trash, dude, it's trash. I was like, okay. Well, is the like the food trash or just the experience that you

have to go through? The food was awesome. Like that's not the issue. The food was great. The view was great. The people that I hung out with great, just the vibe was very Hollywood. And that's, I mean, obviously that's not who we are at all. So it was, and I I think they knew you know how sometimes if you wear a suit and you fake that you're important you can like walk in anywhere and no one will question you. Exact opposite vibe I walked in looking like a man who was lost who was looking for people that he was trying to find and didn't know where to look because I never been here before

and I was just sort of walking around looking and she looked At me like I was trying to stalk a celebrity or something. I see. Okay, that makes sense I was just like no, I'm just looking for my friends You know, she was like right. Okay, what number? Okay. Yeah, let me get my phone out Yeah, that's uh, I wasn't gonna fight it. I definitely didn't belong there at all So she was right to ask, but... It felt awkward. It's called Soho House?

I think so, yeah. Oh, they got one in Chicago. They have one all over. Apparently it started as like a little place for uh... creatives to get together and like just be creative. And then it sort of blew up to the point where, you know, it's not what it was supposed to be anymore. You know, that's everything. Yeah, it looks like a really douchey Starbucks.

Kind of, yeah. Except you have to be a member to get in. Or know a member. That's the douchey part. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, it's one of those exclusive things that everyone in LA loves, exclusive stuff. There's a bunch of places in this city

where you have to be like a member and you can go to and hang out. It makes you exclusive, but it also is like, you know, you can be that guy who says to your date, I'm gonna take you to some place that all the people that are with me can get in. A lot of ego and bravado involved with this stuff. In Hollywood?

Crazy! It's wild, the Hollywood that's insane so that was a whole ass experience that I had here's the thing I'd do it again I'm not gonna lie I am a little bit of a like a slut for bravado and an ego sometimes I'm like yeah yeah I am an important person being the friend of a person who's actually important yeah like how you say that as of like two minutes ago and you're like you know us

we're not really Hollywood but this Hollywood we're not to be cool to get in I kind of love that no look I do I love the concept but again in practice I would not be welcome. I am not nearly remote. Everyone there, and I mean this, everyone there was like a 10, dude. Everyone. From top, like from waiters to staff to people just lounging, everyone was like a LA 10. Everyone was was gorgeous and I walked in there like holy ever buddy I'll be here looking for my friends did you do not fit in at all you've been on an

Oh There oh weather Let's see we've got weather request Here we go and make sure I got them all all right and We have landed on Hey, what did I land on I don don't know. I don't know. You tell me.

Alright, hold on. We've landed on long neck Delaware. Okay. The ones... We've had weather requests in 46 out of 50 US states. The missing ones are Delaware, North Dakota, Vermont, and Tennessee. Let's get the boys to that 50-50 sweep. We're here. We're doing it. We're in Long Neck right now. There it is. Long Neck, Delaware.

61 degrees, light rain. Currently feels like 60. Humidity 84%. Press pressure 30.07 inches visibility 10 miles 638 am sunrise 451 pm sunset 11 mile an hour winds dew point 56 UV index zero and a waxing gibbous moon phase the 10 day Monday AM showers 73 Tuesday 58, sunny, Wednesday 53, sunny, Thursday cloudy 56, Friday 59, partly cloudy, Saturday 62, sunny, and Sunday 63, partly

cloudy and Monday 66, partly cloudy. The real, the real new story here though, the one that's actually important is that The grocery store nearby is called Harris teeter And I've never heard of a Harris teeter and I have to know why the grocery store is called Harris teeter I've heard of that Yeah, I Don't think we have any but I've heard a Harris teeter. I've heard people say it Harris teeter I've never heard of a Harris teeter before Is it like a fancy grocery store is it like a cheapo grocery store? What's the vibe? I've never heard of a Harris Teeter. I've heard people say it. Harris Teeter? I've never heard of a Harris Teeter before.

Is it like a fancy grocery store or is it like a cheapo grocery store? What's the vibe? I think it's literally just owned by Kroger. And in fact, it was acquired by Togar. Togar? Pfft. Oh boy. Yes, absolutely. Kroger bought it for 2.5 billion in 2013. Kroger owns too much. They really do. They own a lot. Most of the Kroger company currently owns. Let's look at this.

Talk about monopoly. The Kroger company currently owns Dylan's, which we have plenty of those in LA food for less have plenty of those. Fred Meyer, Fred Meyer Jewelers? Um, Fries, Harris Teeter, Home Chef, King Supers, Kroger, Little Clinic, Mariano's, QFC, Ralph's, Roundy's, J.C., Smith's, and Vitacost. Yeah, we got uh, Roundy's and Mariano's here.

Damn. Yeah. So they just, I feel like they have at least a couple all over. Yeah, everywhere I've lived my entire life there's been a company, like I don't think I realized that when I was young, but you would always find the Kroger brand stuff at the grocery store and it's because it was a Kroger. Yeah, no it's, you can, you go to the grocery store and it's because it was a Kroger. Yeah, no, it's you can you go to the grocery store and then you'll see the Kroger stuff in that store that's how you know. Also, another way to know now

is I just learned this literally right now, Private Select brand, Simple Truth brand, um everyday living brand and Murray's cheeses brand are all owned by Kroger which is why if you go to Kroger store you'll always see those that makes total sense to me now oh yeah I just assume those were Kroger's things as well they're in those stores sure sure sure but for some reason I see

private select stuff and all sorts of different places and simple truth to be honest but I guess they're owned by Kroger so that's interesting yeah huh well okay look at that look at that we learned about Delaware learn that from Delaware and that's the weather all right let's go to sports sports here we

are at the sports desk currently. For football we've got the Buffalo Bills first place in the AFC East. Steelers and the Ravens battling out the AFC North. You got the Texans top of the South. You got the Chiefs undefeated after blocking a field goal today which was insane. You got the Eagles and the commanders battling it out atop the NFC East. You got the Lions, Vikings, Packers all atop the NFC North. You got the Falcons top the south even though they lost today.

And the Cardinals and the 49ers both battling out in the NFC West with these Seahawks Rams right behind. In NBA, Cavaliers still 11-0. And the Suns and the Thunder both 8-1. And the Celtics 9-2. And the Warriors 7-2. And then there's the other teams that are all worse. And then in hockey, Florida Panthers, 23 points. Are currently, no, the Jets still the best team at 28 points

mama mia who else is good here you got the Devils are good Maple Leafs Hurricane Wild Golden Knights Capitals those are the best teams in high school. Capitals. But again, long season. And that's sports. Alright, what is our fact of the day? Fact of the day. Day. Day.

Giraffes hum to communicate with each other. What does that mean? Like, I'm imagining a noise that's... are you mean like a hum? Hum like hmmm? Or is it just a noise they make that sounds like humming? It says it's thought that the low frequency humming could be a form of contact call between individuals who have been separated from the herd, helping them to find each other in the dark. Some researchers think they sleep talk as well. Hey, hey, like that.

That sounds like Charlie the Unicorn. Charlie! Except these are giraffes. Charlie giraffe, a corn. Charlie, we're going to giraffe mountain come on Charlie like that yeah hey that's for everyone who I assume is approaching 40 hi hey hey there remember that there the old internet that's us I sure do surprisingly there are quite a few pictures of giraffe acorns on Google you know I'm glad you look that up because honestly

someone had to I was curious and there are many actually many giraffe horns I like that I like I like giraffe horns it's pretty nice that's pretty nice yep so your fact of the day all right hey hi hello do we have anyone who has come to us with tears in their eyes? We sure do.

Good. Here we go. Dear illustrious sirs, tears in my eyes, I beseech thee. If Jesse had to give complete creative control over to Cranedorf for an entire video game production, what on earth would that become? Alright, hold on, hold on. I'm making a game and it's called Die Fighter.

And it's a game where you play as a man who punches people to death, but every time he punches someone he loses life until he dies. And I have gotten sick. Now you must come on and take over. What does this game look like? So first off, what does a video game production look like as somebody who produces them? Well, you have to first off have a concept, then figure out how you're going to execute that concept, which means you have to find a team that can do it.

Then you sort of break down the process of, all right, what's our core gameplay loop? Then once you have that figure out how to build upon that so it isn't just like someone doing the exact same damn thing over And over and over again Or if they're doing that finding a way to make that fun And then you build from that you keep building and building you find art assets and you do like that kind of stuff. I see Die fighter. Yeah First up, what would you do? I'd scrap that idea. I see die fighter yeah first thought would you do I'd scrap that idea I figured

which is why I set it up please we go with die fighter dy e so now you have different colored dies and you dip your fist into these dies that are probably gonna be some sort of powerful dies and they give you powers see how your green die gives you like strength yeah blue die gives you be some sort of powerful dyes and they give you powers. So yeah, your green dye gives you like strength, yeah blue dye gives you like some sort of magical ability, right?

And you have to go find all these dyes all over and you have to let your fist soak in the dye and then you get those powers. Your idea is significantly better than mine. Like genuinely much better, yeah. And then there's enemies and they have Better dies and they use those to fight you but then when you kill them you get their dies ah It's like if you play guild wars 2 when you unlock dies And then you have them permanently, but you can like click them and learn them

I was thinking more like Mega Man where you get the powers Alright, you know what? We'll workshop it. It doesn't, you know what? Actually, this is your idea, so I have no input. Yeah, get out of here. Sorry. Um, yeah, so that would be the main premise. And then, you could have a big ad campaign of being like, choose your die.

You have like a bunch of real life dyes you just hand out at like video game stores. Be really weird. People love it. So I'm gonna, you know what? I'm actually gonna take that back now. I don't know that we should legally be selling dies to people or giving them away is different. You're right.

Yeah, it's just like, it's like a die you you can color your maybe like food coloring that's kind of like we probably shouldn't be good like there's gonna be a parent that's gonna get mad at us for this there's always somebody's gonna get made my child died now my home is red that's their problem yeah all right great I love that all right next one dear lustrous sirs tears my eyes I ask you what is the silliest dumbest piece of life advice somebody gave you that

stuck with you the dumbest piece of life the silliest or dumbest? Yes. Oh man. Um... Again, I still think about the time in theater class in college, my professor pulled me aside and said, Jesse, you need to stop wearing your mask. Take your mask off. And I I honest to God had no clue what he was talking about I think he meant that I wasn't being my honest self with people and I wasn't being the real me but dude this is I

feel like he doesn't understand this is who I am hey I think he just didn't see he thought you're putting on some class clown persona. Yeah, I think he thought I... It's like Batman. Everyone thinks that Bruce Wayne becomes Batman, but it's really Batman becomes Bruce Wayne. That's me. I tone it down for other people. That's true. I'm about 200% more goofy.

I tone it down for society so I can get through the day. He's right, I am wearing a the day. I mean, he's right. I am wearing a mask, but not the one he thinks. That's, yeah, I think you're right. I just thought it was a very weird thing to say to like a 19 year old, like, stop wearing your mask. I was like, what the sh- what are you talking about? But I didn't say that to him. I was very polite. Like, how can I, what do you, can you explain that to me? And he was just like, be yourself.

I'm like, okay. Even though I definitely was like, what the hell did this man just say to me? Because you were being yourself. Absolutely. I think he just didn't recognize that that was the case. Which made it even funnier. I'm trying to think if there's anything. It's gotta be something, but I can't pull anything from my long-term memories. There's gotta be something!

There's been a lot of dumb advice I've heard. I can't think of specifics, you know? That's because in life you hear so much dumb advice Have you heard do you ever hear any dumb advice for YouTube or content creation? Or someone was like here's how you really have to do it and you're like that's so dumb Yeah, I've heard a lot of those But we again we've done this for so long I've heard too many of them sure so you just don't necessarily remember Yeah, like uh back in

2009 10 maybe 10 okay. Yeah when I was in that one group There's like an I IRC of machinima people and I joined it There's like an I IRC of machinima people and I joined it It was like ox horn and like some of these other people and they're in there and they're like yeah I think we're gonna quit Wow. It's really It's really bad. It was like peak wrath and I was like, I don't know I think a lot of people want Wow videos right now and they're like no, I think it's dying It's over like the wow machinima scene is dead

So that was pretty dumb advice because I kind of just took it and ran with it and I was alone for like years. That is true, yeah. It all sort of died off. And then also that was during that time where everyone was like, guys, what if we make our own website and host our own videos? Oh yeah, I remember that. And it was like, yeah, but YouTube does that for free. And you get publicity. Yeah you're on a site

where people are at. I think people just wanted to like try new things. It was early internet days for sure when it came to this stuff. Yeah so that was probably the worst advice I got would have been if I followed that and just didn't do that and I wouldn't have done I wouldn't have gotten any form of like YouTube success sure been terrible so yeah lesson learned yeah all right that's a good one I like that yeah meanwhile I will say genius mind flame notable genius of course creator of Cox rocks yeah gamer nuts love that who put the nuts in their mouth yeah yeah he he was doing twitch before twitch even like did anything he creator of Cox Rocks, Gamer Nuts. Love that. Who put the nuts in their mouth? Yeah.

Yep. He was doing Twitch before Twitch even did anything. He had his chicken in the bucket. He was taking donations, giving people stuff. And he was like, this is the future. And I was like, I don't know. And then I was like, dude, he was right. He's totally right. That mad genius was right.

It's very funny to me how often people do a thing as a goof and then five years later it's like the thing everyone's doing Oh yeah It always entertains me I'm like oh yeah okay you were ahead of the curve we just all thought you were bonkers There's also the people that were like how long are your Twitch intro screens and if you said longer than ten minutes they thought you were a crazy person Dude I every time I'm like I do four songs The time of those songs depends on what song I'm gonna listen to

it's always four and they're like there's too many Jesse and I'm like okay well then don't watch like that's on you random internet person who judges me Like I don't understand their logic behind intro screens having to be short doesn't make sense. I think the idea is is a lot of people are trying to get interaction going as soon as possible because that's what keeps people invested and involved in it, right? If my intro screen is like five minutes, everybody that wants to watch isn't going to be there by then.

I mean, I felt that way too, but apparently that... I'm told that is not the way it works. At least according to people that tell me I suck. Well, they're wrong. They're some dumb advice. Well, that is what I've heard. Because I mean, if you think about it, if you start streaming after five minutes,

not everybody's there. Your viewership's low. All right? And then your stream's going to be shorter, because you've been streaming for longer already. But if you wait 30 minutes, more people are there. And then you stream's gonna be shorter because you've been streaming for longer already. But if you wait 30 minutes more people are there and then you start streaming and then it's like you stream longer. You got a bigger viewership at the start and then more people are watching you throughout the stream because you didn't just start at the start, which is what I used to do and I was like, oh yeah, this is a better idea.

Listen, if somebody's there in the first like two minutes they could they they can wait another like ten alright That's all I'm saying if somebody's if somebody's so excited to watch your stream in the first like two minutes And they're there I doubt they're gonna leave who's gonna show up and be like oh intro screen, and then they leave If they do they're a loser again. I think it's people that are worried about numbers more than Putting on like the stream that they're comfortable putting on like there again That's an even bigger reason to do this way. I think yeah but but I'm saying like if you are a smaller streamer and you have like a

Crew that always shows up you want to interact with them and make sure they stick around rather than bore them But again, I don't know I'm stretching here. I don't know the reasons. I clearly don't, but there's definitely has to be some or else they wouldn't say it was such gusto. Right? I don't even agree with that. Okay. Imagine you're a strong, a smaller streamer. Right. And then you start. it's not like somebody's gonna show up that likes your stream and then be like well It's been seven minutes Don't think they're gonna ever show up. I'm gonna leave and never come back They just it doesn't make sense. I mean I You know, I'm not I'm not defending them. I don't know the answer

All right. Well, I don't know the answer crendora. I don't know the answer All right, well I don't know the answer crendora. I don't know the answer you win I've done it. I won That's the end of that segment great. All right. What is our big news story of the day? big news story of the the day day egg and spoon race in mexico breaks world record i assume they mean put an egg on a spoon and then people hand it back and forth via egg spoon

because otherwise that makes no sense to me. I believe so. Okay. The 2024 egg fair in Mexico broke a Guinness World Record when 2000 plus young people participated in a race while balancing eggs on spoons. Love that. Like how they emphasize the young people. Adults would never.

Yeah, like what? There got to be some old dude there he's too slow he can't keep up with the fast pace you tell me some guy like 1950 it doesn't love egg on spoon oh dude egg on spoon was all they had in 1950 it was that or war yeah that's true that was it either went to a head an egg egg on spoon either when you find the front lines You did egg on spoon those were only oh and hoop plus stick oh Yeah, it's another classic got a new old hoop stick. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Yeah the fair organized by the

tepid titlan Paltry farmers association in Jalisco Featured that sounds exactly how it's supposed to be pronounced Featured nearly 2700 students from local high school racing hundred meters 328 feet while balancing eggs on spoons. Oh, I guess that's why there's got to be like some old high school or though like an 80 year old an 80 year old high schooler in Mexico Yeah, it's got to be like to graduate like a Billy Madison situation oh oh yeah those happen all the time but maybe he just wanted the egg on spoon event so

that's why I went back so your theory is that this guy went back to school specifically to be a part of the world record setting egg on spoon? Yes. Alright, checks out. Thank you. Previous recorders... Not even a question. Or wait, Guinness World Records determined that 2039 participants finished without violating any rules, earning the title for the largest egg and spoon race. Previous was 1,400 people in London.

Take that London. Demolished. The fair in Jalisco where 50.4% of all Mexico's eggs are produced also featured other events including egg hunt, decorated cart race, bicycle race, and an exhibition featuring 100 different dishes prepared using local eggs. You know what? Sounds great. I can't really eat eggs anymore, but that sounds lovely for everyone involved. Why not? Because they make me sick. I don't know. We talked about this. Just for some reason, in the last year, eggs have started making me sick when I eat them. I actually do kind of remember that now.

And so I've just not, I've been avoiding them. Rather than, I don't even want to test. I'm like, you know what, I can cut out eggs. Like, I'm not eating, eggs and products I'm fine with. But for some reason, just eating an egg cooked gets me sick for some reason, I don't know. You know, thinking about it, I get a little like, gaiety with eggs, you know? Yeah, my stomach gets really upset. Yeah, I guess it depends on the way I eat them too.

So I no longer tempt it. I'm like, you know what? No, I'm just not gonna eat eggs, which is actually, it's been pretty easy. All I do is I ask for no egg and life is fine. I thought you said you can eat them in stuff. Yeah, if I have it like in a baked good or if a recipe calls for an egg to be mixed in.

But I'm talking like eggs scrambled or eggs sunny side up, like an egg for breakfast kind of situation. So really like a glass of milk and an egg to be mixed in but I'm talking like eggs scrambled or egg sunny-side up like an egg for breakfast kind of situation So really like a glass of milk and an egg is your worst case a glass of almond milk and an egg dude I Would they would be like he died of shitting himself like that would that would be 100% what happened?
