I don't think so, but Now I'm getting over cold you're you getting over the cold is up. I don't know I was just saying I guess that's like

You know like word up situation. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I always say getting the colds like word up That's what I always say, getting a cold is like word up. You've always said that, yeah you have. It's just like your standard cold, but it's annoying. I already know people like, I posted on the Cox and Crendor thing, I'm like, hey everybody, no podcast this week, I got a cold, Jesse's busy and they're just like, here comes the immunity responses to Crendor, like where is the immunity? Funnily enough, right before- Where is the immunity? Yeah, where's the immunity, Matt? You know what? I think it left. Maybe you're right. I'll just be sick, Thor. What happened? Do you think the COVID times killed it?

You know what I mean? Like, you're indoors and you were by yourself and then suddenly Like, you're indoors and you were by yourself and then suddenly you're immediately dropped. Here's the thing, I know I either got it from the grocery store or the gym. Because I was doing fine, cruising along and then all the people working at the grocery store were just coughing. And I would hear some guy like yakking hard, like bleh. And I was like, okay, so I would just, I do the thing where if I have to walk past somebody that coughed, I'll like hold my breath and just like try to go past quick. I don't know if that does anything, but I do it. It feels good to do. I get you. I understand.

Yeah, and then at the gym, like everybody was wearing a mask. Like people that I know like frequent the gym that normally don't, they were wearing masks. And then I heard just numerous people just like coughing while working out. And I'm like, why are you here? You know, like, why are you working out if you're like at the gym cough, like, just rest or whatever. And so I guarantee it's from one of those people. I mean, a lot of people, isn't there like, I don't know the truthiness of. I mean a lot of people isn't there like a I don't know the truthiness of it, but a lot of people believe that if you work out while you're sick it'll speed the cold along because your body's like pumping and your blood's going and you're like sweating it out and stuff.

Yeah, but there I mean it's probably good to like walk around and move to get your blood pumping but I don't think you should be like doing a full-blown workout and stressing your body. I'm sure a doctor would say don't do that. Yes. Oh, no, I'm with you. But I think a lot of people just believe that. That's true. Yeah. And there's also selfish people who would just be like, well, I'm going anyway. I don't care if anyone else gets sick. I gotta take care of me. Yeah, no, a hundred percent. There's also those people. So, it's, it is what I, dude, I remember before Covid, I was at the gym and I would go in the sauna and the steam room all the time. I swear I got back to back colds from being in that sauna steam room.

You got that old man cold. Yeah, it really was. And so that's that's when I stopped going in the sauna in the steam room. So I was like, you know what happens? People get sick and they're go, I'm going to go in the sauna in the steam room. That feels good what happens people get sick and they're go I'm gonna go in the sauna in the steam room that feels good and then yeah it's like in Germtown USA so absolutely the same thing with what I was saying is I think people are just like a good sweat will cure me yeah so it's uh it's just been a cold I tested for the cove e 19 again I didn't have it

I was like I mean I just had like five months ago now I'm gonna get it. I was like, I mean, I just had it like five months ago. Not only am I gonna get it again. Even if you did, you'd probably blow through it really quick cause you've got all sorts of immunities now. Yeah. And then I got my flu shot last month. So I was like, well, that's good. Thank God I got that. And so yeah, it's just, it's been a cold. Yeah. The, the sore throat. Then I had the congestion. Now I got the cough. So now it's

mainly just the cough. I'm just, I'm a phlegm factory. I mean that's pretty much the way I was a few weeks ago. It sucks because my cold itself, usually in my mind I think, okay if everybody knows I need to blow it all out. I'm not going to sniffle, I'm not going to do a damn thing, I'm just going to make sure all of it gets out. I'm going to keep blowing until I can not gonna do a damn thing. I'm just gonna make sure all of it gets out I'm gonna keep blowing and so I can't blow no more My nose is red the edges of my nose are like, you know rough and nasty like screwed I'm just gonna keep blowing and then the day after my nose started to like Not be stuffy anymore. I felt fine. I was like, oh, thank god. My nose is good

I don't have that lingering cough, you know that like terrible Yeah, I did have a cold but I still think that was great But that day and the next day and the next day even though my nose wasn't stuffed up I kept like getting that like nasal drip situation Oh, yeah, and I would be like trying to blow it out, but nothing was coming But I still was like mmm, something's wrong. My nose still feels funky So I guess I was still recovering. Either way, tried my hardest and no matter what,

still had three days of a cough. Where I was just like, I tried. I really worked at this. And it was like, nah, dude, you get that extra three cough days, enjoy. Yeah, it gets annoying at that point because you're just like, you're starting to feel better. And you're like, all right, I could do whatever.

But you're just coughing. Or the starting to feel better and you're like, alright, I could do whatever, but you're just coughing. Or uh, the worst part too is if you try to sleep and you still get that post-nasal, so you're like laying there and it starts dripping and then it kind of gets hot and then you start coughing. And you're just like, ugh. Yes. Yes. So bad. And it's not a cute cough or like a, it's like a, I'm almost choking kind of cough.

Yeah. Uh, it's, it's the worst. Oh, I hate it. Yeah, not a cough. Yeah, it's Yeah, not a fan, so that's fun then you're getting over it though. That's good. Yeah, so it started literally last week Saturday night, so I did pointless top ten and I Filmed a warhammer video and I was like all right, and then I was like man my throat's kind of irritated It's's not going away, and then the next day. I message you like yo you want to record like I'm sick, dude Those on Monday so by Monday it was really kicking in the fatigue the aches everything So yeah, it was you know I call and the I saw the doctor humor online Where they're like I'm a doctor and people get colds.

And they're like, I tell people that colds usually last a week, but with modern medicine, we can get it down to seven days. Ha ha. So there's your doctor humor. What sucks about a cold is that's pretty much like, it really is just, it takes you out of doing stuff for a while. And there was a time where that was great, but now I just feel like I'm constantly behind.

Whenever I get sick, I'm like, I got so much to do and I'm just behind now. And I wish this was seventh grade again, where I could just be like, I'm sick, oh no, hee hee. Right, which admittedly, when you think about it, if you missed school when you were a kid, you were falling behind. But as a kid, you didn't think that way. Now as an adult, I'm like, Oh God, every day I got to keep up with all those other BS. I need that kid mentality

of like, it'll be fine. That was the worst part when I got sick months ago with the COVID. Like the COVID symptoms weren't bad, but then I overdid the recovery part and I did like an entire pointless top ten I don't and my throat was just like Like I was like I'm not I don't have it anymore But like I had that post laryngitis or whatever and that is like powered through and that like messed me up So this time I'm like, you know what? Not doing that. I'm just

That was the worst part like I wasn't sick anymore, but my muscles and the laryngitis and everything just made it so whenever I had to talk a lot, it was just bad. My throat couldn't handle it. So it was like, I practically was sick without being sick. It was just the inflammation. Yeah. So, what's this about? You sound better.

You don't sound as sick as I did when I was like, hello everyone. There's a scary game squad we filmed. I think it's maybe the last one we did that's up. Dude, that one literally the entire time while we're playing my nose was stuffed up. And I from start to finish him like, hey, what up, so excited about the scary game squad. Just editing that was the worst leave you think you hate how you sound normally oh my god listen to yourself sick you'll be like oh should I just scrap this entire episode oh I'm so

stupid sounding yeah oh it's bad it sucked my thing I already sound nasally so you like double double up It's like juicy fruit or whatever Double mint gum I don't know one of those It's like juicy fruit or double mint gum is the best way to scribe a cold and being stuffed up I don't even know how that works. Yeah, I Don't know I was trying to think of the double... it doesn't matter. Sure, sure. So yeah, the worst was like day three or whatever. Day three I was like fatigued, I was like

ugh, but then oh my god I got Korean soup. That shit was, that was like... What do you mean Korean soup? That shit was, that was like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, short rib the meat, great. Short rib the bone gets in the way. I'm not a big fan of having to eat around bones. Well, the bone's adding like flavor and stuff. Oh, to the broth? Absolutely. Love it. Like again, let me stress, love the broth. Big fan of it. But it's the bone meat combo where you have to like, around the bone. I never have liked it. A lot of time with short rib. The bone is like half the damn thing

I'm like, alright, okay. Yeah, it's true But man that hit just they got the radish in there. You got the it's like the egg The onions. Oh man, then the kimchi on top of that. That was that was some good stuff. They gave me energy There is a soup I must stress I'm up to everyone who is just Korean of any it's like if you're just if you know a Korean I apologize in advance um there's something called like like you gay Jane, you're okay. Jane, you're like that Southern waves. You're okay. Jane, you're okay.

Johnny could be yucky. Yucky. John. I don't know. Yucky. Yucky. I don't know how to it. Uh, it's, I don't know.

It's like a red, very spicy. It might be the spicy version of what you had, but it's like beef and like spicy peppers and stuff and it's a thick thick red broth. That rocks. It is so good. That will spice you out and get you like, my nose is clean. Yeah. I just, the fact you said my nose is clean just made me think of like Mr. Clean like wiping it down He's up in there. You see that man. He gets the job done speaking of which yes, this

This takes us into the next topic. I want to bring up. Oh, I'd love to know how this connects so I've been Watching TV or whatever right? Or whatever yeah. QVC had this guy on named Jimmy the Baker. Okay. I hold on. I'm just gonna Google Jimmy the Baker.

Because I need to know what Jimmy the Baker looks like. So he's New York guy. He's got that like kind of balding old man vibe but he's like short and he just likes bacon cake, okay? Love that for him. So they they're showing off these cakes, these crumb cakes, okay? And they're just like, these are the greatest cakes and he's's like, I just, I have my formula of making these cakes. Okay, we got like sour cream filling with like fruits and like strawberry and lemon. And then we got the cinnamon.

It's like a cinnamon roll thing. And he's like breaking them apart. And he's like, some people don't understand how to make cake. I know how to make cake. And they're doing all this stuff. And I was like, I'm not gonna lie. I want to try one of these cakes Yes

I really only wanted like four or something, but they are like today's special value is like It's like 12 cakes for $30 and I was like this is I mean you got to get 12 cakes That's too much money for cake, but you know what is the this is the special value normally is 12 cakes like 50 bucks right so I got it Okay, we got the crumb and the lemon or the the cinnamon crumb and the lemon Did they deliver to you mean like do you have them they got here today? Oh? and my I Got the the cinnamon crumb cake and that shit. We're gonna get a live review right now. I already ate it. Oh

So you didn't really plan for this podcast No, I don't plan that that you could have you could have eaten it live on I could have It was good. It's a good cake. It's fresh. But it is so sweet. Which I get, there's probably people, they're just like, oh, man, this is so. But if I didn't have coffee with that, I feel like I would have

went into a diabetic coma, not even have diabetes. It is really sweet definitely the type of thing you split with somebody like there there's some hefty cakes dude I mean they're good like I I I get Jimmy like I understand where he's coming from he makes some good cakes but man they are they're rich let me tell you so it's gonna take a while to get through all those That's the the problem with the the sweets they get you you can just keep eating them, but you can't that's the thing without the gallbladder Hey, that limits me cuz I know you too many of those You're in a

Your digestive system is just gonna be like dude. I'm doing this Mm-hmm. And then, yeah. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not a, I'm not like a big overall swan of like, swan? I'm not a big swan either. I'm not a big swan. I was about to say fan of sweets and I guess it came out swan. Not a big swan. That's sweet, that's a sweet fan is what it is. I'm not a big swan. But there are certain things that I will go for. Right, like I'm not gonna buy a bunch of chocolate bars and stuff like that, that's never gonna happen. But if I'm at a coffee place

and they got some good ass pastries, I'm just gonna get one just to get one, it's happening. Yeah, no, that's kinda what I am. I'm there for the experience and just a little, like the more of the taste of it for a bit and then I'm like I'm good it's like when I have a Coca-Cola like the little sody pops I'll drink half the little sody pop and be like I'm good like I just wanted the taste no see I'm I'm still fat so I will drink the whole half of soda pop I'm just throw I'm drinking half of one wait so you're so you know how

they have the smaller cans right I'll just drink a full one of those which is like yeah yeah I do I do half the half's right and that's what that's why you're a physically fit human being and I'm like yeah although maybe not my immunity this maybe it's all that extra coke that's keeping me going maybe maybe I should you know drinking the whole one yeah maybe that's the problem is not you're not committing the

full coke yeah I'll start doing that so other thing we kind of related to food we started watching Dungeon Meshie. Ah very cute show very fun. And now we just finished it last night so. The whole series? Yeah so I guess I mean we started watching it we started watching it a while ago now we finished it and it was great. It's one of my favorite animes now I Would think so watching it watching that little dwarf make yeah food and then like describe like we're gonna take the scorpion tail And but it is so cren coded. It's very funny. Yeah, it was very cren coded I just I love the the food in there. I love the art style very is it's got just enough action paired up with like

slice of life sure that Is just perfect crendor anime so people are recommending it yeah part of me thinks it's a Great example of what I imagine you and toast are like Yeah, where she's just like what is that and you're like by taking the butt end of this wyvern we can create something delicious she's like I don't want to eat that you're like come on it'll be great it could be reverse where you're like I don't eat that she eat that, and she's like, no, come on. I don't know. It's definitely the first, I'll eat anything.

There you go. Or at least I'll taste everything. I don't know if I'll fully eat it. Hence, drinking half a Coke. Sure. But yeah, no, it's a really good show. I like that, which is funny, because last year, I was saying at this exact time,

I also had a cold, so I think it was just like, cold month, and that's when we started watching Sailor Moon. So, I think- That's right, and you hadn't gotten to the part where a little pink haired girl pulls out a gun, which is my favorite part of any anime ever. Yep, now I have, I've seen that. Now you have, you saw that, and it's crazy. It is pretty crazy. I'm just excited you're sticking to things that I know.

That's true. Now we're getting on the same page. I either dated someone or drunkenly watched any of these shows. I'm here for it. That's fair enough. Oh my god, speaking of watching stuff, OK, there was, I was browsing TikTok, and I got a Mount Everest TikTok.

And- I don't know what that means. What does that mean? Like it was from Mount Everest? Someone like climbing Mount Everest that had like a GoPro or camera or some shit. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. And they're just like, I'm on the death zone.

And I was like, what is this? And someone's like, people have died in the death zone. I'm like, no shit. So it's called the death zone. And And someone's like, people have died in the death zone. I'm like, no shit. So it's called the death zone. And so someone's like, you should really watch the Mount Everest documentary. And there's like a 45 minute documentary on YouTube. And I was like, well, I got to see this. So I click it and it's like, I've learned so much about how insane Mount Everest is.

Like, it starts as this man who climbed Mount Everest like in the 90s or some shit and he's like mountain climber man he loves mountain climbing he's like the people have disgraced Mount Everest it has become blasphemy. I mean if you look at it now if you see live footage of it it does seem a little there's just trash everywhere it's crazy looking. Yeah, there's trash everywhere, like oxygen containers and everything, and I guess what's happened is, it used to be like 50 people a year would climb it. Now it's like hundreds and people pay money to go climb it, like it's either mountain climbers that want to go climb it or rich people that are just like looking for more trophies to put on their shelf to be like, yeah, a lot of them just pay locals or Sherpas to carry

their shit up and they are like, yeah, I don't need to really work for this, but you're still climbing a mountain. So they just die up there. Yeah. So what I learned from watching this is there's one mountain climber dude who's like prime physical condition like early 30s like climbs mountains all the time he's like I'm gonna go climb this thing then there's these like this couple is like in their 50s like these Indian mountain climber people and they're like yeah We're gonna go mountain climb too. It's like that's what they want to do and so they they all start climbing and

It turns out there's different tiers of Sherpas So you can pay like twenty thirty thousand and you'll get Sherpas, but like they don't give a shit if you pay like sixty seventy thousand you get like the the a team so I Don't want to know what the I don't give a shit Sherpas like Well this dude paid for those Sherpas the like younger dude, and they were just like they they literally abandoned him They're like yeah, you're too slow and She's like okay But oh my god

Yeah, so they're like yeah, you're too slow. You're not gonna keep up, so he had to like climb by himself And uh but you also had like follow along with a party. This is the most insane shit. There's like 300 people all attached to one rope climbing Mount Everest and It is like genuinely insane. That was the Last thing I would ever want to do in my life. Like dude, like 300 people all attached to a rope slowly climbing and you're running out of oxygen and you have to wait on somebody else cause they're getting tired and they're like holding up the entire line.

There is an insane video of a woman on, I don't know if it's her filming it or if she's just in the shot and you can hear her, but they're on the ascent. I think at the like almost the very end where you have to do like that, that weight in line to get to the top so everyone can have their photo moment kind of thing. And a dead body, someone just is dead, starts rolling down the mountain and like turning into almost a snowball. And this woman's freaking out like he's down, god someone help him. And some of the guys like that dude's dead. What are you gonna do for him? And I kept thinking about that. Like that's insane that that's just, yeah, wait in line and people just fall over dead while waiting

yeah and it's so the one dude like climbs up and he's his oxygen messes up and he's like he can see the top and one of the Sherpas there's like dude you gotta turn around you're gonna die and he's like but I'm almost there and he's like I mean you can get there but like you'll die and so damn because he's like, but I'm almost there. And he's like, I mean, you can get there, but like, you'll die. And so, uh, cause he's right. Cause like, you still have to go all the way back down. Right. And it's just going to get worse the higher you go higher up you go. So he turned around and he lived.

Meanwhile, the, the couple, like the, the husband makes it to the top and he's like, can I get a picture? And they're like, no, like we're going to get frostbite. You don't, you don't get one. He's like can I get a picture and they're like no like we're gonna get frostbite. You know you don't get one He's like okay, and on his way back down He sees his wife, and she's like struggling to stay in and then she just dies And it was just like what and there's like yeah like she just ran out of oxygen and so That was that and they're

Don't cause like people take too long to get to the top and everything and then he's just like, yeah, you know, she wanted to die in the mountains so that's my like, thing that makes me at peace or whatever. That's the stupidest. You know what? Whatever gets you through I guess, but like that's stupid. She wanted to die on that mountain so I guess it's okay. Like no, no it's not. It's just, I don't know, it's insane to me. I'm just like, I would... That was the last thing I would ever want to do. Is climb a mountain with a bunch of other people.

I... Genuine question. Having not seen this documentary, and I don't know these people. Do you think this was the kind of guy who after his wife died, went back to the Sherpa's and was like, my wife died, can I at least get a picture now? I'd put it like a 25% chance. Yes. It's, it feels weirdly different because it is somehow both commercialized and

still inaccessible. And so people really want to do it because they think they can, even though even the most skilled climbers and like most athletic people in the world still die up there. Right. And it's... And so, I don't know. It's even worse because now you have to rely on other people.

Like prior to this it'd be like, oh, there's 50 people, like whatever. Now that there's hundreds of people and there's a backup Like it's like playing League of Legends like you have to hope your bot lane isn't gonna weigh you down or it's over I mean, I guess that's why they left the one guy. They're like leaving you behind exactly, it's just It just sounds terrible and then for me, I don't get it because this is the type of shit where either you you're a mountain climber wants to do it just because and you're like I've climbed it or you again you're like trying to get some sort of trophy to be like yeah I've done this but like then what like they they're just gonna go do something else like you're these are the people that

are never gonna be happy with what they what they've accomplished they're gonna be like now I need to do something else crazy well I mean yeah that's how they eventually got to climbing the mountain you Well. I mean yeah That's how they eventually got to climbing the mountain. You know what I mean? Yeah That's how they got there is they were like well. We did all the other crazy things That's how they end up going in subs down to you know the Titanic is exploding. It's that type of shit Yeah, like what's wrong with just like not doing anything well because When you're rich rich your currency is experiences That's true because you're already you already got money

Yeah, you don't to work You don't do anything your life is kind of so easy going that you're the thing that matters to you the most is Experiences something like when you get together with all your rich friends. What are you gonna? Do be like I bought another yacht They're like well, so did I. Oh, we're so rich. I think that's just not going to happen. That, you know, you can only brag about that stuff so much. So instead you're like, well, I went to the Titanic on a boat powered by an

Xbox controller, you know, like that's what they talk about. That's true. Thank God I'm not that rich. I'm telling you, you dude in LA there's times I've been at places with people and they've said some stuff from like what who are you how do you live your life yeah like being that rich actually just does seem granted I'm not rich at all so I would take some level of rich but not that rich rich enough to never have to worry about any type of bills.

I am fine being mega rich. I would love to be as rich as those people, because it's great podcast content. I'd come in here and be like, Crendor! My accent, by the way, changed. Crendor, you'll never believe what I did this week. Why, I went to space, I did. Took me six hours, but now I'm back to run my Fortune 9000 company. Wow, how was it?

So risque. You'll never believe it. I saw stars, there was an alien named Phil. Great guy. I couldn't believe it. He said, which I think translates to come back later and we'll get some canapes and a nice Chianti. Damn, are you gonna go back later?

I don't know! The next flight isn't for another few months and it's going to cost me another million dollars? Why, I could spend that on anything! I'm sure there's one of the pores that need taking care of. Ohohohohoho! Yeah, true. Could I have a million dollars?

Can you have a million dollars? Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, my good man. Earn it like the rest of us! Yeah, but I'm one of the poor that needs to be taken care of, so can I have it? Well, I meant that figuratively, not in a I give money sort of way, in more of a I propose others donate to a charity that I set up. Ah, I see, okay.

Right, right, and then I take that million and then I go back to space. You said you weren't gonna go back to space, probably. Well, I guess you could. I just, I mean, I just didn't want to make you jealous. A two-time spacer like myself and a no-time spacer like you, it's like we're totally different people. I'm not jealous at all. Actually, you'd be the one person who would never be. That's true. You'd be like, no, I'm alright. That doesn't sound all that exciting. You could offer me like a hundred million dollars go to space, I wouldn't do it. I would not do it.

Honestly, what would get you there? One billion dollars. I wouldn't do it. You wouldn't go to space for a billion dollars? No. Five billion dollars. I value the comfort and enjoyment of not doing these things. There will be a moment you break.

Alright, here we go. Five billion dollars to you to toast to your whole, everyone in your family also gets another billion. I don't care. I'm not doing it. Damn! Well, I hope when they come for you. Hahahaha This is... you could be like $800 trillion. It's not gonna happen. Damn.

I mean, once you're even over like 10 million, like we're getting to the point where it doesn't matter. I guess you're right. I mean, 10 million, sadly, when you think about it, it... not nearly as much as it used to be that's true. Yeah, but like in a grand scheme of Living it's a lot of money, but in the United States of America I'm like I can think of a way to blow that in a weekend actually a day Yeah, I mean there's youtubers and stuff that are

Probably at that point where they're just like guys. It's just really a struggle out here I can't even afford this 15 million dollar mansion. It's rough Times are rough dude. Oh my god on YouTube Can I just have you ever gotten those videos where it's like? It's some old random person not even old but just like some random person It's like it took me 50 years to realize what I'll tell you in 15 minutes Why is it? Yeah, why is it always the person like in the wilderness was like it took me Oh, oh, I saw a guy who was on a boat doing it once he was like I moved to

Some island I live by myself and let me tell you what I've learned from life. I'm like, please old man Tell me the thing is like none of them say anything That really should shock you. It's just like the same stuff It's it's like when people are like I figured out the most insane way To get healthy that I'm gonna share with you, and they're like so I started exercising and I eat healthier. It's like okay No shit And they're like, so I started exercising and I eat healthier. It's like, OK, no shit. It's like the same thing.

They're just like, I started valuing my friendships and family over money. You know, I quit my job as a super mega lawyer to open a bakery called Jimmy's Bakery, where I make cakes. So I love doing that. It's just that type of thing. And I'm like, OK, cool. Like, now what? That's the problem. They don't tell you what to do.

Like, what are you supposed to do? Like, quit your job, go start a bakery? Like, what are you supposed to do? Like, stop worrying about money and not pay your water bill, you can't drink water? I mean, that's the same thing as people being like, how do I do Twitch? Or how do I stream? And people are like, here's the best advice. people being like, how do I do Twitch or how do I stream?

And people are like, here's the best advice, stop everything you're doing and just start. Okay, yeah, but like, how do you live then? Yeah, they don't tell you that. And they don't tell you that because they're fine. They're living all right. Yeah, because they don't have that issue of, I have bills to pay.

But if you're just starting, you're gonna get like two viewers. That isn't, that ain't going to pay nothing. So how do you start? And no one's, no one has to, here's the thing. No one has that answer. There is no answer. And people say, just do it. That's cause yeah, I mean, that's an answer, but it doesn't mean to be successful.

It just means you have to do it in order to start down the path. But like, there is no, anyone who says here's how you do it and then become successful is a complete liar they are lying to you yeah it's and they're doing it to make money yep most that's why people make all these videos too because they make money there that's what I got some bothers me is it's just like they're at it's like self-help books the same shit They're just like here's what you do, and it's like Ever the thing is everybody's path is gonna be different

So like this somebody can tell you what to do, but doesn't mean it's gonna work It's just what worked for them well plus people figure out the best ways to do everything. It's like a game where the meta Gets established. I mean, it's... Oh, sure. Yeah. From working on my book and stuff and writing, you also learn how much writing has improved just from author. Like listening to Brandon Sanderson break down writing is... You realize how much of it is just... How much that they know now compared to what they used to know. They'll be like oh yeah this author back in the day or like authors

back in the day they did this but like now we know that's bad and like this is what you do and this is how you structure a story and this is how characters should talk. It's like they know everything now and so it's kind of that with YouTube as well it's like this is how you title this is how you description this is how you make your intro this is how you title, this is how you description, this is how you make your intro, this is how you do your outro, this is how you get people to click the end slate. Like it's all scientifically analyzed. And then everything becomes the same though, that's what sucks. Yeah. Yeah, I wrote down some stuff for you this week because I have seen some things, my man. I saw the future and it was scary.

So, maybe Monday, I'm driving to the office and in LA there have been a lot of Waymos, like a lot of them. And Waymos are those self-driving cars. Oh, I see. And they are everywhere in the city now. They're all over the place. And I was reminded, stark reminder, cause I was looking, I've been looking at them

recently, like maybe I'll take one and see what it's like. Alex the other day was like, I love the idea of Waymo's. I'm going to drive them everywhere. Like, okay, dude. I was reminded that it's still tech in progress because I'm driving down a construction site, right? You know, on the way to the office, there's a construction site for hospital, the building.

And, um, as I drive past there every, you know, weekday, there's a bunch of people who stand around with stop signs because at certain points trucks go in and out of this construction site. So they have to stop traffic. Well, as I'm driving down the road, this is a major road. There's a Waymo next to me. And one of the construction guys who has a stop sign is kind of, you know, that, uh, whatever the hand motion is where you would light a fire with a stick, you

know, I'm talking about really like rub your hands together. He's doing that with the pole that has the stop sign on it. The stop sign is twirling in his hands. The Waymo detects a stop sign, then doesn't detect a stop sign. So I'm watching this car next to me, stop, start, stop, start, stop, start. And the cars behind it are freaking out.

This thing would not move. I end up driving past it and the Waymo was just trying to figure out whether it should go or not. And the dude was just, I realized that's insane. It's kind of the guy's fault, but also the fact that the robotic car was like, it says stop, but then it doesn't,

but it says stop, but then it doesn't. I have no idea what happened I'd like to think eventually someone noticed yeah but I just kept going because I was like I'm not gonna get in a crash I'm no fool yeah that sounds absolutely terrible that's why I will not trust the AI yeah if you want to look up some of the Waymo videos there's some times where it just stops in the middle of a road because like there's some thing it detected and was like, that's, can't drive anymore.

Yeah, that sounds absolutely terrible. And especially just knowing other people driving around you are also bad at driving. And then shit like that's happening. That sounds terrible. Dude, yeah. happening that's terrible dude yeah I was a very weirded out by it but also part of me is kind of like again this goes back to my sex bot conversation I'll wait till the second generation right you know I mean like I'll wait till gen two same thing with the way most I'll wait till they get it down instead of

Waymo it's they got a real name for it like Robocar, car of the future. You know I'll wait for it. What do you think would be wrong with Sexbot 1? Oh my god who knows dude. All sorts of things that would be terrible. I'm sure there will be freak accidents that we can't even imagine. Just locks on we'll let you go. I mean, like, that's the least of what I'm thinking. Alright. Like, I'm sure there'll be all sorts of weird sexual things that happen, but I'm just talking about in general. Who knows what the hell those things could do?

I don't know, I'll wait until second generation. I don't want to be an early adopter of that kind of tech. It's the same thing with the, it's the Apple Watch problem for me. Everyone is like, oh, you gotta get Apple watch. It's so good. So good. I'm like, yeah, but then they'll just make a new version and then I'll have the old version and mine will be obsolete. And they're like, no, it's not that way. I'm like, I'd feel that way though, which is why I won't buy one. I mean, I like the old AirPods more than the new AirPods.

Big same big. In fact, I like the old AirPods more than the new AirPods. Big same. Big. In fact I like the wired headphones more. Interesting. Why? I just like the fact that if they fall out I won't lose them. Ah, I see. They're connected and everything's fine. Honestly those videos where a dude walks up to someone and cuts the wired one is like, here I bought you free AirPods. I'd be pissed. I'd be like, I don't want them. I wanted the ones that I had. Yeah. Yeah. That's, I don't even know.

Good thing all those are staged otherwise. Yeah, that's, that's, that's technically like assault, isn't it? Like someone invading your space and ruining. I would imagine if you really wanted to press charge as you could, which is why they're definitely all fake. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

Thank you. Honestly, part of me was thinking, wouldn't it be fun to go to like a bar or something tomorrow and watch the game for the first time in a while, not caring about who wins,

because I just don't care. And you know, just hanging out. And then now you got me thinking about everyone just being sick and like, nevermind. Yep, and then being loud and being screaming. I'm here for the loud and the screaming, getting like chicken wings and drinking a beer and watching like, and people being like,

ah, this commercial sucks and be like, ah, okay. Right, you're talking to some old man who just wants to talk to you for some reason. I'm here for that. But I also am like, nevermind, I don't wanna get sick. Well, that's what I'm here for that but I also like nevermind I want to get sick that's what I'm saying when they're when they're loud and yelling the spit droplets are going all over and that just floating in the air you're not wrong yeah I mean I assume that's what happened to you at the Sonic concert

although it's not a good dude I could you could feel the spit droplets from the Sonic things they were they were very excited about sonic rock music yeah that was mmm that was an experience or more more reasons than one honestly I kind of wish I would have seen it you probably got go but I went to the Final Fantasy concert and it was great there was one song that got a bunch of girls in the row in front of us crying which was great was perfect did anybody stand up and start singing along um no all right well that's not a sonic concert then all right I see I would have much preferred an orchestra type of thing where

everyone stays seated nobody's saying long that was it that's the traffic alright let's go to weather

uh, weather, here we go weather request Vezprem, Hungary there was no weather report from Hungary, time to change that hell yeah also called City of Queens one of the oldest cities in Hungary has interesting restaurants such as friksa peppery kuta and Johnny's bistro one of those sounded interesting the other one was just Johnny's bistro yeah currently 34 degrees 702 a.m. sunrise 503.03pm sunset, feeling like 30, high of 34, humidity 63%, pressure 30.5, visibility 8 miles, wind 4 miles an hour, dew point 22, UV index 0,

I didn't realize there was uh, it'd be snowing there. Yeah, I mean where is it uh, this is all right, you know what maps we're going, we're going all the way out. Longitudinally, it is almost, it's literally almost Chicago on the line. I guess that does make sense then. line. I guess that does make sense then. Yeah. That was more south than it is. Nope, looking at it right now it's definitely definitely more Chicago-ish. Yeah, let's see what they got. They got Burger King. They do? That's the what's so funny is that's the first thing to pop up. That is funny, although it looks like

a pretty nice Burger King. Oh boy, now you're making me check out the Hungarian Burger King. There's no such thing as a nice Burger King. You know what, I looked at one burger and immediately was like, yeah, I'm right. There's no such thing as a nice Burger King. I mean the inside is nice. The burger is not. I mean it's clean, that's for sure, but like, that burger looks like, you know what, I've never seen another burger overseas

looks so insanely American yeah that burger looks like they cooked it here in the States and it looks terrible all of them these people keep like doing photos them opening up the burger to look inside and everyone on the inside looks emaciated and just like Burger King. That's Burger King. Yeah, not a fan. Garbage. Um... Frixel looks good though. Is that the other... Yeah, yeah, that place?

Yeah, Frixel looks good. Honestly, I like the vibe of the outside is very nice. Yeah, it is. It's got that like old town vibe to it yes there's a place called Mitz met his met Matt is kiss van day glow oh boy that's that's not it um but the outside it looks like a very quaint kind of like welcome to grandma's house but all the food looks super delicious but also very Hungarian oh yeah there's dishes on here that I'm like I don't know where I get that anywhere else but Hungary and yeah

I don't see Johnny's maybe if I zoom in. I don't see Johnny's anywhere I'm looking for Johnny's I hope I hope Johnny's is like hold on how do you think it's spelled J-O-H-N? yeah wait I found it Johnny's Bistro! yeah there it is. Yo Johnny's that first image is a beautiful looking burger now that's I F with that. Yeah Johnny's looking good. Johnny's looks yeah Johnny's looks great also I yeah Johnny's is definitely the American place. They have a milkshake that looks like it someone was like, what would Americans put on? Well first off chocolate ice cream. And then we're gonna put in a lot of hot fudge and then we're gonna put another scoop of ice cream and then we're gonna put on a bunch of whipped cream. And

then according to this, what I'm looking at, sprinkles, a chocolate bar and an ice cream cone. Oh yeah, I see. That's insane. That is America. Yeah, I'm looking at all sorts of them. This is definitely...they're like, welcome to America! They got the like stack of pancakes. Yeah, the burgers look good.

The salad's hilarious because it literally is just lettuce covered with like eight strips of chicken. Yep, that's... lettuce covered with like eight strips of chicken. Yep, that's. Whoever owns this place must have either lived in or spent a lot of time in the Midwest. This has strong Ohio vibes. Yeah, this is very Midwestern. Honestly, I'm looking at these. There's one burger, it's like surf and turf

and a shrimp on it. I eat the hell out of that. They're also real burger patties because some of the images of the burgers they're like taller than they are wider you know how like burger patty will plump up rather than like yeah I'm here for this Johnny's Johnny's looks good oh my god they have the french fries that used to be a Buffalo Wild Wings before it got crap oh yeah the potato wedges things or the slices whatever they were called. Yeah, the wedges. I love those. Oh man

I'd always get them with the The rub you get the wedges with the rub on them. Hell. Yeah, I get it with hot sauce on the side Let's dip it in the hot sauce. Yeah Damn me. All right. Well you sold me on Johnny's. I was like Johnny's is gonna be that cool. I love Johnny's the menu is big like Hawaiian Surf's up vibes. In fact, I think it's the whole theme of the restaurant. Yeah, I think so. Oh My god, there's brando burger

This is so funny that the burgers they yeah, the blue apple, you know the famous blue apple. Of course. American City. They have the West Coast Burger, which I cannot read what that is. That is not English. Although, funnily enough, I think I could make out most of this. Like cheddar is still cheddar no matter where you go in the world apparently yeah love that is in oh man is so so I guess that's supposed to be sauce boy I don't know yeah sure yeah yeah honestly they got some good burger places outside of Burger King Sazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazaz like most medieval European towns. This place, when you actually look at the town, it looks like it would be a medieval town. There's one big road around it and then a bunch of like,

it's like a little circular city almost, and then nothing but farmland around it for a while. Yeah, they got like, it's like this was formed by King Gustav II in the 1500s, and now his generation's work at his pizza establishment or something. Here's the question for our listener who suggested this. It's very close to, how would you pronounce this word, listener? Budapest or Budapest? Let us know. I would love to know the real pronunciation from a real person

who lives there. Not Marvel's The Avengers. I feel like Budapest is probably going to be right just because it's how everybody doesn't say it. I don't know. I have no clue. Also what's the deal? You're kind of directly between Budapest or Budapest and Vienna and I would love to know, is that like a, can you like do a whole thing? Europe seems like it'd be cool just to be like, f it dude, we're going to Vienna today. You know, like we're going, like screw it, let's go to Austria. Or is there big border controls? Like what's the vibe? Yeah, I don't know. It's's uh here's the thing you know what for ten million dollars I'd go here yeah see now you know we're talking yeah I'd go here

so there you go it's not space far enough away though oh yeah no dude we got to do it we do a whole video we'd be like Americans coming to Johnny's yeah although sadly they probably I'd be embarrassed I'll get I gotta be real there's probably some like you know waiter or waitress who's like oh you're American a and I'm like oh boy here we go that's what they'd say you're American a yeah like they're there and

they're like well I'm from Canada I just live in Hungary. Yeah. Well, that's the weather. All right, let's go to sports. Sports. Big sports news, we got Super Bowl tomorrow with teams that I don't care about. Most of the country doesn't either. The Mavericks traded Luka Doncic in one of the craziest trades anyone's ever seen.

Still insane. So now he's on the Lakers. Then, looking at the standings, we have Cavaliers first in the East and we got the Thunder first in the west. You got Grizzlies, Nuggets, Rockets, Lakers behind them and then the Celtics, Knicks, Pacers, Bucks, Pistons in the NHL. We got the Panthers and the Mapleleaves first in the east. Atlantic, then you got the Capitals and the hurricanes and the devils in the metropolitan east, central west you got the jets and the stars and the wild and the avalanche and then you've got the oilers, knights, kings and canucks in the pacific west. And spring training baseball starting in a couple weeks.

Uh oh, baseball. And that's sports. Uh oh, baseball and that's sports. Uh oh. Uh oh, all right, what is our fact of the day? Fact of the day. Day. In late 2007, Netflix got very close to releasing their own streaming device called the Netflix player. However, the Netflix CEO realized

that if he put out his own streaming device he'd likely lose out on Netflix being available on other devices like Apple TV because he would be a direct competitor. With just a few weeks before the product was set to launch she canceled it however he decided to spin off the product to Roku which was the company that held had helped develop this device so the Roku is actually gonna pretty much be the Netflix player what year was this 2007 doesn't eight? They developed 2007 and then released 2008. Honestly it feels kind of like they definitely, at least at that time, nailed it. It was a very smart decision, especially considering they were coming off of the fact that they

literally... I don't know if people remember this, they literally just gave you blu-rays and DVDs. Yes. Like their business model originally was, hey, we will send you movies, which is insane when you think about it. Yeah. So the fact that they were like, hey, we're gonna start doing streaming things makes a lot of sense, but yeah, I can understand because a lot of business guys are like, well, it has to be our thing because we want it to be ours So we own all of it when really they're right smart money is putting their platform everywhere

The problem is after that they stop being smart with their money Yes, it's very true. They literally just start throwing money away, and then we're like what do you mean? Yeah Cessar f Fang of the Day. Oh, right. Has anyone come to us with tears in their eyes? Dear illustrious sirs, tears in my eyes, I ask you this question. If you guys were Sonic characters, what kind of animals would you be? Ooh. Ooh.

Um, Sonic characters are never what you... It's like a hedgehog or an Echidna, right? It's never anything you would think. Um, Platypus. Why? Um, just cause I could, I'd be the one Sonic character that swims really well. But I'm not a fish cause I have to be on land. Oh, that's a pretty good one.

Ooh, or Beaver. Beaver'd be pretty good one. Ooh, or beaver. Beaver would be another good one. I like beaver. That could be fun. Like a big, he got big old cheeks and he's, and his whole thing is that he spits, he spits wood at people. Like he eats, like he can, like, you know, he can kind of eat some of the level and then spit it at people.

I don't have no clue what would you be um let's see I would be hmm I'm trying to think of animals I feel like I'd be an armadillo whoo that's a good one. Yeah just have a big ass shell roll around. It's like you'd still roll around right? Sure. But you'd be like a tank or... I like it. Or maybe an anteater. Oh that's also a good one. Yeah, see these are good. These are very good.

They like suck up ants and spit them out, but then maybe the ants are also used as like bullets. I mean, that's roughly what I was thinking of with the beaver yours is significantly better like if you can do it anywhere on the map Or you just stick your nose in the ground and they do a little animation. It's like It's like you suck it in like Kirby and then you just start shooting at the dudes The problem is I feel for the ants now those ants will live with their lives and now they're bullets now, dude They're they're strong enough. They'd live Now they're bullets. Nah dude, they're strong enough, they'd live.

They'll be fine. I'm speaking for the ants here when I say they'll be fine, they'll live. Yeah, they'll be fine. And then the other dear illustrious sir we got. Dear illustrious sirs, with tears in my eyes, I beseech thee, grace us with a Skyrim playthrough update, Jesse. Uh, it's coming. Um, I'm just, I'm in the process of creating three games at the moment and it's just taking up a lot of time. There it is.

But trust me, it is a thing that will happen. Uh, but yeah, I got an FMV game I'm working on, I've got a point and click horror game I'm working on. And I've got a demo for another thing I'm working on. And it's just taking up time. Plus doing a new show coming this Monday. Plus doing this show. Plus Chaluminati, plus GeekEnders, plus streaming, plus making videos. So I'm working on it.

He's working on it. Dovahkiin. Dovahkiin. Fus Ro Dah. Yep. Honestly, part of me also wants to check out King Come Deliverance 2 because the thing is, is I played the first one and I did not like the combat at all so I'm really hesitant about the new one. And so I'll check it out but I may absolutely hate it I don't know but part of me wants to be like a piece of shit in medieval times you know what I mean? Like I want to go around the medieval world and just like be the hound from Game of Thrones just like an ornery bastard who just treats people poorly.

That's what I wanna do. By the way, how's your, how do you like Civ 7? Cause I played like an hour and a half. Yeah, I played two-ish hours. I was gonna play some more, but I just didn't get time. I am still really confused on a lot of things. Yeah, I think the UI is kind of bare bones. It's weird, yeah, there's a lot of things

where I'm like, hold on, this, I guess, again, I played Civ 6 for so long that all the changes they made from Civ 5 I don't notice anymore, but this, because I played Civ 6 literally a week ago with you, getting into this, I'm like, like, how does this work and what does this do? And so there's a lot of things they changed. There's some things I really enjoy. I actually kind of like how there's little micro missions and things to do where they're like, your people need another wonder. I'm like, I'll do that for them. But at the same time, they really highlight things

that I don't like from Civ. So a great example is in the past, there have been leaders, right? Like different generals or whatever. And you can get like commanders. And in this one, I was playing as Rome and, uh, they were like, Hey, get a legionnaire. And I was like, okay, sure. And on the surface of it, you put all your or or whatever, it was legatus. You could put all your legions in the legatus and then you can send the legatus to go fight. And I was like, okay, cool. So I put all these different units in this legatus,

formed this giant army, sent it down to go fight. When I got there, I was like, so I can use my legatus to fight? They're like, no, no, no, no. Everyone has to leave him. Then they can fight. I was like, so all he is is really just a glorified troop transport. Like, oh, he has bonuses and buffs and he can level. I'm like, yeah, but he's an expensive, glorified troop transport.

He can attack. There's no point. I was like, why would I do that? Why wouldn't I just amass my armies and send them to attack? And they're like, well, you need that. I'm like, no, I don't. I'm playing on normal mode. Like the buff ain't going to help me. I'm already, I already have 15 units. This guy has two. I feel like I'm going to win. And then we're just like, no, but that's how you do it. I was like, yeah, I don't think I will. I don't think I'll do it. Even though the game wants me to do it. And even though you want me to do it, I don't

know what, I'm not going to do it. I think this is stupid and I always have and it just really highlighted again that this like it's a mechanic where it's like yeah but like if you do that though you get bonuses. Yeah but if I don't do that I save three turns. Yeah I think it's their way of trying to clean up the map so it's not just like a bunch of units all walking around by themselves now they can all like travel with the general. But then if that's the case put them all as one big giant army that's what I thought it was gonna be because I haven't even like used it yet I got my general guy but I've been fighting off the stupid barbarian city-states that just keep attacking you

and I'm like dude stop! They like said so much. I will say about that I did have a problem where one of those city-states that kept coming for me for me, but when I finally set my armies and conquered them, when you take it over, you have two options this time. One, burn to the ground like you always could, or two, conquer them and then force them to send their armies to attack someone else. That is pretty cool, yeah. That was cool. I was like, go on? So you can literally just send

barbarian units to wage war on someone else so you don't have to. I do like that. That is another element of strategy added in. Yeah, there's definitely some really cool stuff in there, but there's also some things where I'm like, mmm, I don't know. Yeah.

It's... I also feel like the tech tree feels a little more streamlined, at least early on. Like it didn't feel like there was a ton of choices. I was like, I guess I'm doing this. I guess I'm doing this. Like it just felt like there wasn't enough, which I feel like that ends up being a lot of

vanilla sieve when it just comes out. Right, exactly. I understand the complaint though about being Hey, where's all that stuff on launch? But it's kind of the MO for Civ. They've done it for years and I feel like at this point you're either Gonna tolerate it or not and it's kind of the way it is. It sucks. But yeah, that's the way it is It will be there though. Yeah It's every Civ game. Yeah

absolutely. The thing that's interesting about this one is that yeah when I do a start I always try to get my second city as soon as possible but with this one you don't start with a settler right away. You have to unlock them I think. I have to play it again. I don't remember because I remember thinking I gotta build a settler. I don't remember because I remember thinking I got to build a settler and make this happen, but then I just couldn't. And then suddenly I could after I researched a bunch of stuff. Probably depends who you are. I played Confucius and I think I got one decently fast. Maybe it just depends.

Yeah. I mean, like again, we were still like 3000 BC or whatever, so it wasn't too terrible. But in my mind, I was thinking, okay, what would I do now? And then they don't immediately form a town. They form a settlement. I was like, well, how do I form a town then? There's a lot of new mechanics that I just in two hours did not learn. So I have to go back. I'll go back this week and play more and try to learn stuff. But yeah, there was a, I was a little overwhelmed and I was just kind of going through the motions of like, okay, what do I recognize? What do I not? let's see where we can go from here. I did like that the I like the graphics.

Yeah they look beautiful. Yeah and I like that there's no workers anymore. Love that. Which some people don't like that but I like that. Oh it's such a yeah what it was always a what you felt like you were wasting valuable turns and resources Just building workers because then they would just disappear you build they do three turns or four turns or whatever then vanish Yeah, or they get stolen

Yes, my barbarians. Yeah. Yeah, and so I like that and I like the you can like transfer your resources around the different cities I don't know if you did that but that was pretty cool I did the problem was is my area was was filled with jade and silk So I just was sending jade and silk back and forth between cities like that's all I had It was like okay cool Yeah, we can we'll play soon Hell yeah, I think that'd be super fun. Yeah, I do call Confucius though That's fine. I'm gonna look Franklin was great Ben Franklin was

hilarious to play as. Yeah. When he meets people they're all just like yelling at him and he just stomps his stick into the ground and goes he doesn't even talk to them he goes meh love it. Classic Ben Franklin. Everyone knows that's how Ben rolled yeah. I just know Confucius is science man I was like give me the science he's just like talking to everybody It's like oh hello, and then there's like it's you Confucius But then it's like I've joined forces with the Romans just like what the shit all right honestly the my favorite Animated character right now is Machiavelli because that dude it's hilarious oh yeah they gave him like an evil that like shit eyebrow that like

yeah it's incredible I want to play as him because he just looks like he's like I'm up to something yeah very excited for that yeah so that's the Civ. That's the Civ. Alright, what is our big new story of the day? Big new story of the day. Day. Welsh woman pleads guilty to sending fart videos to boyfriend's ex? I have so many questions because it's not ex sends video to Kurt or to you know like the boy her former boyfriend's new girlfriend it is current girlfriend rubbing it in to

ex girlfriend about farts. I don't even know where that like there's a level there that I can't even get on There is and I don't even know where that... there's a level there that I can't even get on. There is, and I don't know either. A woman in Wales has pleaded guilty to wreaking havoc on her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend by sending cyberfarts. What does cyberfarts mean? That's a whole other thing. Rhiannon Evans, 25 25 was recently fined and given a restraining order after she admitted harassing her boyfriend's ex by sending her a series of farting videos. Evans sent at least eight videos to Debra Pryterch where she can be seen laughing while placing a camera on her bottom and passing gas directly into the lens.

Quote, it was purely malicious. She was smirking throughout, found it hilarious, but the victim didn't. Prosecutor Diane Williams told the court about gas attacks. GAS ATTACKS ARE NO LAUGHING MATTER, OKAY? That's true. Farting is not funny and never will be Williams said that when Evans was arrested at her home she admitted to

sending the videos claim it was because she felt her partner was beating being treated unfairly fairly Evans defense attorney told the court that there have been some issues between Prertek and Evans boyfriend over child contact. Ah. That's what it is. I don't do it. At the time she sent these videos, she had some drinks and she sent them. Understanding now this caused the victims some distress. She sent them without malicious intent. I don't know about that. Prardtek said in a victim

statement to the court she would like to feel safe in my home. Evans' fart videos may have helped her vent her emotions. They hurt her bank account. She was fined $373 including $124 in compensation to Pr to prior tech the court ordered Evans to attend 15 rehab sessions Abstain from drinking for two months and avoid contacting prior tech for two years. All right, so the drinking explains a lot I was gonna be like, okay The thought you think of farting direct not into this other woman's phone, right your own phone Yeah, like that's just, you're, you're just asking for pink eye at that point. Yeah. So alcohol checks out.

Okay. Yeah. But then the idea of I'm going to punish the X because the boyfriend isn't getting to see his kid. so I'm going to send fart me farting repeatedly. I'm just so curious about like the fact that it's I mean it's it's on the books now. There has to be some sort of like anti fart law. There has to be. Like you can't be farting at people. You just can't do it. But you know in a welsh accent i just like

how she's like you know she's farting into the camera like you just hear it like this according to her i'm imagining it's a video and you see her butt approach the camera and then she just rips and then she sends it to her, I guess. That's crazy. That is crazy. I just... I like how she said I want to feel safe in my own home. But it's like... She's just sending fart videos.

Like I don't want to see them. Yeah, it's not like too crazy, but... I mean, this harassment... I feel like she came over to her house like fart on the window or something like ah geez but yeah it's... you still don't want that I mean look I get it it's harassment but it's funny

I don't care what anyone says that's funny yeah so there you go that's your big news story alright well that's it for us. Thanks so much for listening and watching. I'm enjoying this podcast.
