Beep beep! Wake your ass up!
It's the Gags and Crenda's in the morning!
Beep beep beep beep beep!
Wake up! It's the morning!
Hello everybody! Welcome to the episode of Gags and Crenda in the morning!
Hey!
Oh, hey!
Hey!
We, uh... We're back. We're here. It's true. Yeah. And you're up. I'm so shocked. That's true.
Look at you. New Crendor, new day. That's right. I've been waking up before noon for pretty much a week now.
I'd like to think you've turned over a new leaf, but I know it's just cause you're bored.
Well, not in particular well
it started because of that toast left
toast went off to go like live her life
and go to a convention and you were
alone yes you know what you've got that
you got that married man problem we're
like I don't know how to live without you you're not wrong but yes I felt like you
because what do you mean by this well
whenever you'd be like I had nothing to
do so I just went to bed and I was like
I was like I don't get it but now I got it like stuff and I'd be like I had nothing to do so I just went to bed and I was like I was like I don't get it but now I got it I was like stuff and then I'd be like well I got
nothing to do now yeah it's like 10 p.m. and yeah you could stay up and watch TV
or play a game or do anything or you could go to bed yeah plus I was like it was getting to the point with my sleep schedule where I wanted to change it a bit anyway.
So we were going to bed at like 5am, and then the sun was coming up.
So like, even with blackout curtains and stuff, if you had to go to the bathroom, you're just like, you just see the sun out there and you're just like, eh.
But like, now, at like a healthy 3.30am.
Right, the healthiest of times. like yeah but like now it like a healthy 330 a.m. right the healthy times yeah it's still dark outside
and then I still get my eight hours sleep I wake up like 1130 so like it's you know it's technically
before noon I'm excited for you yeah yeah the nice part is if I got to get up earlier it's not as bad
you know so that's kind of nice right right right right
also from what I've read if you're going to die in the night most people die
around 4am so at least you'll be asleep for that so that's pretty good
there you go yeah yeah exactly the positives yeah you gotta look on the
bright side man yeah so yeah pretty much I would I would also watch sumo wrestling
love that yeah well like what got you on sumo wrestling was it because there's
been a lot of stuff going around right now that's like a footballer wrestle
sumo wrestler or stuff like that and course, sumo guys kicking everyone's ass because they're trained specifically for that.
But what got you?
So there was one guy that was a viewer years ago.
And he was asking me, I got on Patreon.
And he was like, I really want to start a channel about sumo
wrestling and stuff.
And it just, I don don't know I don't think
would do well or like he's just kind of skeptical or like whatever and I was
like yo you just gotta do it and like that's such a niche category probably do
well and now he's like one of the biggest twitch sumo people he is a
midnight sumo and he's getting like four or five thousand viewers streaming sumo
wrestling and commentating that's amazing so that's fantastic
yeah like that I, that's fantastic.
Yeah, like that's really what
it is, finding the thing you love that
no one else is doing it and do it and
you will find an audience like every time.
That's amazing, that's phenomenal.
Yeah and so he's doing that so I was
watching him and so he's just kind of
rebroadcasting the sumo wrestling.
This shit's like wild.
Like I didn't realize how much goes into it.
It's like-
Oh, it's more than just fat dudes slamming into each other.
It's like a whole thing to it.
Yeah, and it's like just the rituals of starting up
where it's like they cleanse the arena,
they drink from this little like wooden spoon,
and then they like throw rice all over
and then they stomp out the demons.
And then it's like, they do this entire thing. And then they're like, all over and then they stomp out the demons and then it's like they do this entire thing and then they're like all
right now we can fight I love that stomp out the demons is roughly how I played
the game dead space and frankly I get it I understand yeah you gotta stomp those
bastards out you'll stomp them up and so did that I was watching that plus it was also kind of
crazy where I already thought it was crazy when you watch something like
basketball and they're sitting courtside and the players fall into you but like
there's times in sumo wrestling they'll like fall off the little platform in the
middle and those like crash into people and I'm like that's got to like kill
somebody right at some point I feel like you would have time to get out of...
Like, how close are they to the ring?
Not that close.
They're like pretty close.
Like, they got time to move, but if you don't pay attention,
you're getting squashed.
I mean, that's most sports, to be honest.
I went and saw the Dodgers, and there were balls hit all over the place,
and if you weren't paying attention, you'd get hit in the face with a ball.
You know what I mean?
That's true.
It's just...
When it's a 700 pound muscular man, I feel like it's a little more intense.
But they do try to like stop themselves I see.
But sometimes you can't.
Sometimes you're just shoved and you're flying.
Honestly, that's the price you pay to go watch that.
Yeah.
That would be like watching two gorillas battle and it's
like you know someone's gonna get hurt but we want to see this fight so yeah
it's uh you should always be paying attention I would I'd be want to sit and
I'd sit a few rows back so I'm saying but there's I kind of want to like get
up in the front and you know like when you see a live show like who knows what's
gonna happen you get sprayed with water great. Yeah, but that's you
You're right. That's the difference
There's like the one the one thing that made me think that is the guy fell into the audience
I could have sworn there's this old woman to look like she got crushed is it looked like her face was like oh
right, but also
That's a story. She can tell she can go back tell her grandkids. That's true as long as she's alive
Yeah, Nana had a run-in with with the sumo wrestler, and they're like did you win? She's like I did
I don't know why she sounds like that. I'm probably a little Japanese lady, but whatever yeah
As long as she makes it past 4 a.m.. She's good
But that's I don't know why I know that and I'm not sure if it's a real fact I just know that I heard that
somewhere and then I just said it on this podcast so it's real if it's set on
a podcast it's real yeah yeah I was watching that that was fun so I'd watch
that and then go to sleep also the audience was always fun too just
watching the people in the audience there There's this one, uh, group of women who like, you know how, if you go to a sports
games, like if you're at a Dodgers game, people have their favorite player and
they got jerseys on, they got signs like, Oh, whoever.
Yeah.
But it was like for sumo wrestling, it'd be like a group of like three women and
they'd have like his face on a thing and then like his name and they're just like,
well, I don't know. Like it makes sense, but for some reason I just
thought it was like funnier.
I don't know, maybe cause it's uh...
Cause it's sumo?
That's like...
It's sumo or something, yeah.
I mean I guess it would be the equivalent of a bunch of uh, like ladies showing up to
cheer on a guy, like a weightlifting contest or something?
Yeah.
Like it gave me vibes of like Olympic
curling or something, where it's like, go curling.
Or like, I get it.
In fact, I think it's better probably than normal sports,
but it's just, it's fun, because it's different.
And then my favorite, there's this woman,
who I swear to God, her husband was in the Yakuza.
He was just like decked out. He had like the stone-cold face on he says like his arms crossed
But his sleeves are rolled up like he looked like well of course he looked like he beat somebody up before
Numerous times or ordered it. Yeah, like that type of guy, and then she's just sitting there, and she had like this little doll
There's like a little rabbit doll or something
I don't know what it was trying to figure out
what it was and she would just keep like
whatever something happened she'd be
like shake it and like point it I was
like is that like one of the wrestlers
favorite animals or like does he like
like I don't know and I was just trying
to figure that out maybe somebody knows
but it was fun to watch I'm sure there's
deep lore I'm sure there's like tons of deep lore that it's almost professional wrestling
level you know what I mean? Yeah so it's uh overall very fun it was fun watching
that so I'd watch that then fall asleep. I love that. Yeah I also did swap my ASMR. Oh
to what I
Swapped it to eight hours of rain sound
The the call map gotcha has a YouTube video
Yeah, just eight hours of rain sound and so like I mentioned before on this show
The my ASMR would always run out and then it would give me anxiety. So I'm like, oh God, the ASMR ran out, right? Cause you would hear her being like,
comment, subscribe.
Oh yeah, and then you're done.
And then you're like, I'm not asleep yet.
But now eight hours of rain, I don't know what time it is.
I don't know where I am.
If I wake up, I'm like, oh, still raining.
Just keep going. Sometimes I like a story and just keep going
Sometimes I'll wake up and just take it out. But otherwise, I'm like I'm just lost in the lost in the rain. That's been working
I love that. Yeah, hold on. I I wonder if we're listening to the same thing. I'm trying to last night. I listened to
Perfect rain sound to relieve insomnia from a healing coma. I wonder if that's supposed
to be coma, but it definitely says coma. And then, um, yeah, you know, the healing coma.
And then the night before that I had heavy rain, a rainy night for sleep, eight hours
dude, solid eight hours. My real favorite ones lately are ones where it's like solo camping and heavy
rain. And it's just like some guy, except I did discover a genre.
And I ask everyone to look this up. Take, take the time when you have time.
Don't do this if you're in a car. Yeah. Look up camping rain.
I don't know, like sounds or whatever.
I keep seeing the top one be what is just
a very attractive Asian woman.
And it's her kind of like seductively leaning over
in the thumbnail, but I'm just like,
do you have to click bait rain sounds?
Is that where we're at now?
I guess it's like this Chinese woman who goes camping
and then just, you know, does all the things she like eats and stuff
But that's not what I want. I just wanted some guy in the woods camping
She does a whole production where she'll like eat and go mmm
I'm like no no one all right. I don't want to say no one wants this clearly people want this
She's very popular, but I don't want that. I'm trying to go to bed. I don't need like
popular but I don't want that I'm trying to go to bed I don't need like brain I don't want that no there's like there's straight up numerous channels of
that of ways I just don't get it yeah like if you type in camping ASMR it is
all like attractive Asian women camping in the rain I just don't I never understood it I never will.
Millions of views. Yeah I like get it I understand men be horny I get that but
also I got work in the I got stuff to do I gotta be up so please give me just
most of the ones that I like are the ones where it's like the dude looks like
he's never slept in a house ever
And he's out in the woods right and he's like eight days of sleeping in the woods, and he doesn't say a word
The most sound might be him chopping wood, but it's like
Edited so the sound isn't that loud and it's just like the rain. It's him like
It puts me out it puts me out like glad there's like so
many of these channel granted it makes sense because if it's getting millions
of views everyone else can start doing it yeah I just feel like we should
advertise things what they are instead of like ASMR to help you sleep it's like
you know you're a little horny,
but you don't want to be a creep,
and all you have is YouTube right now.
Like that's what we should call it.
Yeah, but then you would have to feel bad
about what you're doing.
No, we already feel bad enough.
When I click on a video where it's like,
I'm gonna do mouth sounds,
ain't nobody there cause you're like,
great at mouth sounds.
It's a...
There might be.
Don't assume.
You're right, you're right.
What a fool I am.
What a fool I am.
I think you're just,
you're projecting to some degree still.
Completely.
Oh yeah, no, this is full projection, yeah.
Yeah. I did see there's that one, I completely oh yeah, no this is this is full projection. Yeah, yeah, I
Did see there's that one the YouTube camping guy that's retiring you see that I did see that I think it was because people were harassing him and his family or something. Yeah, which is crazy
That is he's just like I just want him to live a normal life
Yeah
With that said though. I have a feeling it's cuz he made bank oh yeah
it's like 20 million no one I'm gonna say no one who's broke is gonna be like
you know what I'm gonna give this all up and live a normal life yeah every time I
see people like that I mentioned it before it was like people go we got to
take a break you know it's just stressful They're always like getting millions of views and I'm like well. Yeah, I could do that too like what?
Like imagine if you you at your normal job as well. We're just like you know what it's just getting a little too much
I think I'm gonna take a two-week break. You know maybe maybe even a couple months
It's like you can only do that if you're rich or you have vast majority of
people just simply cannot yeah yeah yeah yeah and then they know they can come
back and just be like hey everybody then it's just like some some some watch
video and then just make more money that hilariously was this morning when I was
eating breakfast I was having this conversation about the idea of what
would I do if I didn't have to work? And the best
I could come up with, because I would probably, here's how it started. Some actor, I don't
know who, was saying they read two books a day. And all the comments were like, how's
that even possible? How can you do that? And when you have nothing else to do, it's very
possible.
Oh yeah. Like when you don't have to, if you're,
oh I made millions on one movie and now I'm on a break.
Like yeah, you can do that.
And I think people just didn't register that
if you have money you can kind of do
whatever the hell you want.
And so the conversation was, okay, so I have money.
What would I do if I didn't have to work?
And I was like, yeah, I probably could read
two books a day,
but in reality, I know exactly what I would be.
You know, and I think you know this especially,
you know when you go to brunch,
and it might be like a Tuesday,
but there's a group of five, six, eight old ladies,
and they're all like gossiping,
and maybe they came from pickleball,
or they're gonna go do something together,
like go for a walk, I'd be in that group.
Me right now, myself, I'd join them.
I'd be like, I got nothing better to do,
I'm gonna go hang out with the old ladies.
And I'd become like, they'd be like,
so what are the kids into?
Like, I honestly don't know, but I'd make stuff up for them.
I'm like, oh yeah, they're shooting turpentine
in their eyeballs now, it's crazy.
I'd go around and around telling the friends like
He knows what's up
It's the best I could hope for because otherwise they'd be so bored
It's honestly when I was thinking of what I would do because people brought up on stream like what would you do if you had? To retire or whatever and I was like I would literally do what I'm already doing
Sure, I would just cuz I would sit around and I'd be like man
What do I do now? And I'd be like well. I guess I'll read a bit which I do and but I'm not gonna read two books a day
I read like a chapter a day
I'm like alright. That's pretty good. I'm like alright. What now I guess I'll go to the gym
alright, and I'm like uh you know I kind of make a video about like a
Top 10 list of some random World Warcraft thing probably do that maybe a
Geo guesser something in World Warcraft be fun be like hey, you know what kind of stream Pokemon
So I'll do that
Just do what I'm already doing now
I think that's because you enjoy and have fun with what you're doing like what you do on a daily basis is stuff you love not stuff you feel compelled to do and I
think that's a huge difference in a lot of people's you know the vast majority
of people who live in this world are like you know I got to do this in the
room over there right now there are three people editing videos I'm sure
they don't want to have to edit like You know, that's what work is. I know, I wouldn't want to edit your videos, that's for sure.
Look, I don't even want to edit them. I made them and I'm like, nah, I can't even be asked.
That's true. I guess the difference would be I wouldn't be as focused about money, right?
Because you're retired, you don't have to worry about money or anything because like now it's like in
theory in theory is right now you have
to be like alright how we doing on the
twitch earnings how's YouTube looking
alright maybe we got to change something
up maybe I have to make a specific video
maybe I have to stream a certain thing
maybe we need to get sponsors like I
gotta check sponsors like get a you're
always like thinking of like how's everything doing?
Or all the the legs of the table being held up is one breaking is the table gonna fall over?
Like it's that type of thing more than anything sure sure yeah, I am
I'd like to imagine that
My peak version of Jesse not giving an F when it comes to YouTube stuff would
Completely be there's a guy. I'm not gonna call him out because the last time we called out a guy on YouTube
He everyone went to his channel and he shut his channel down so I'm not ever doing that again ever
Shout out to whipped cream guy. I love you wherever you're at right now
but there's a guy who Alex showed him to me and I must stress one of the
craziest yet completely pure things I've ever witnessed so it's like a dude
um imagine like I don't know overweight Midwestern guy I'm sure you can imagine that. Yep. And, uh, he's in a house and it looks like his grandmother's house.
And I say this because everything seems to be from 1984.
There are pictures of just, I'm going to say 35 year old Jesus portraits around,
like just, you know, that kind of stuff. The kitchen looks very old.
It's, it's what you imagine every Midwestern grandmother's house looks like right and it's him doing a cooking video
He's like today. I'm gonna make my favorite thing in the world
It's a uh, I think you said it's like a Mexican pizza
He's like got to take this nun bread and then you you put the naan bread down
and then you're gonna put some refried beans on there.
And he literally takes a can of refried beans
and just like, like dumps them on there
and then smooths it out.
He's like, oh yeah, that's gonna be good.
Okay, and then you take, I got some hot dogs.
He starts cutting up pieces of hot dogs.
He starts putting it on it and he's like and then I got these uh this cheese sauce it's
like Velveeta spread or something he starts oozing it on this thing it is so
gross looking but he's so excited and then he's like all right then you you
put it in the oven and he puts in it in the oven, and it comes out.
It's just a goopy, oozy mess.
You know, it's got refried beans plus the...
It's basically if you opened a bean and cheese
burrito from Taco Bell and then just ate it open face.
That's what it looks like.
Yeah.
No, that sounds terrible.
Yeah, and he cuts it with a pizza cutter.
And he takes a bite.
He's like, oh, God, you're so good.
He has tons of videos like this.
He has one video where he makes some sort of pasta dish and it looks like what I
would have considered food in college. You know what I mean?
Like he puts so much random shit in it, but he's like, it's all so good.
All of his videos are this every single one is just him completely in his element,
just cooking food. Each video has like 22 views and he still makes them. He's making
them right now. And that is where I want to live. Like I respect the hell out of that
guy. I think it's crazy what he's doing, but that's where I want to be. I want to be at
that crazy where I just don't have to care anymore. Like right now I care because I got responsibilities,
but if I didn't have responsibilities, that's the kind of content I'd make.
It'd be like, okay, so today we're going to make, um,
a grilled cheese sandwich and that'd be it.
I just make a grilled cheese and then I'd upload it. The end.
That was kind of what I did like 12 years ago, be honest.
And here you are.
And here I am. Look at that. Propelled me forward.
Yeah, I have a video
stuck in my head of you and me in an elevator
and you literally just throw a water
ball at me and that's the video.
Yeah. That was a good one. That was it.
There's actually a few water bottles.
A few water bottle videos.
It's almost like a trilogy
of water bottles. It was almost
like a trilogy. Oh bottles was almost like a trilogy
Yeah, I think you gotta get a surfboard or some like Witcher boarders something like that Yes, the witchard wake whatever that is the longboard. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was a good one
Actually by the there's a wow
Person that watched my videos. He's like a streamer youtuber PVP guy
named Zarya you and
I was watching him during the the we call it the soda pop and hardcore challenge or whatever
but of course he reacted to a pointless top ten and
It was funny because when he's watching it. I mentioned in the video
I'm like so I found this thing and he's like wait
He found this thing is he's like fly around and look for stuff and everyone in the chat was like yep. Yep
Yeah
That's part of the fun is just going around and finding stuff
It's like you're finding hidden gems that have been lost to the ancient
times you know I mean mm-hmm so it's fun
seeing him react to that and then he was
just like dude I gotta watch more of
these and I was like yes that's awesome
yeah that's so it's always nice when
people out of the blue watch your stuff
and are like I'll do a react video I know
it sounds crazy because it's also kind
of content sniping but also on an egotistical level
I like it a lot. I do enjoy when people watch myself. It's one thing if they do it and don't like
Shout you out or give you links or whatever but like with it when they link your channel and they're like, hey, it's cool
Subscribe whatever that it's just like they're you know, it's free publicity. It's like somebody went to a restaurant
They're like this is great food. I'd come back here. like it's that type of thing. I love that stuff. Yeah
Speaking of which rewind
Okay, yes
You mentioned reading so
I as you know I've been working on my book for many years many. Oh, yes. No I am aware
I thought it was I thought you just weren't doing
it anymore. No. So I've pivoted numerous times. So after finishing Brandon Sanderson's writing
lecture thing, I took the advice of doing like the one-off book. You know what I mean? Instead of
working on a trilogy or something crazy, he was like just write a one-off book and do what you
want to do. So he was like that's my best advice for like your first book right because you
just kind of pick the tropes you like pick all these different things and run
with it so I've been working for at this point like months like world-building
plotting everything right in a bit I've written 2,000 words so I have done stuff of a
book about magical fishing. All right? What? That's right. What does that mean?
I'm you know I'm still figuring out the details. There's a lot that goes into it.
I've actually written, I've got like documents, I've got pages on my phone,
I've got so much stuff about just like the world, the characters, just everything.
It's just... But the base of it all is magical fishing.
Okay. I guess I would have to ask for specifics, but I'm not sure you want to give them.
Because when you say magical fishing, I don't know whether you mean people are using magic to fish,
in which case, what are they... What does everyone else do with the magic or the fisher magical?
Yes, both
So what is happening in the world with Matt so people only use magic to fish?
No, you can normally fish, but there's also magical fish
You can only catch these magical fish at certain places and only certain people have the power to magically fish
The same way that you would have to have a powerful wizard to cast powerful spells
you need a powerful fish wizard to catch powerful fish. Now those fish... Is this a world with
wizards in general? Yes. You got wizards, you got druids, you got necromancers, you got
everything and they all... Oh everything's there Yeah, and you can learn how to fish properly and catch these magical fish the thing is oh
Okay, so you have like the the the benefits of the magical fish
But you also have the negative side effects of the fish so people will just be like I need my
Magical fish powers because it can like boost your ability so this this is kind of like a, if you remember years ago,
I talked about doing my book, which was like a magical lake
and I was like, you could use this lake water
and it gives you powers and stuff like that.
And then I was like, I gotta do this with fish.
So I swapped it up.
And so what I learned from Brandon Sanderson's course
was he was like like the most fun magic
systems have great limitations.
Because he's like nobody really remembers like, oh, he just pulled out this Deus Ex Machina
spell and he's like everyone is safe now.
But it's like the limitations of it's like, I can, it's like the ring.
It's like I can put the ring on but then Sauron knows where I am and like they know it like everything and I feel the power of
there so it's like you have to use it sparingly so it's like maybe you you
could you can use a fish to gain some sort of power but maybe you like get
really tired and pass out maybe your arm like burns for days like maybe like
there's numerous different things you can do. But that's kind of the angle I'm going with.
That's fun.
So what, uh, let me ask you a question.
What did the magic fish get you in this universe?
Uh, well, I'm still figuring everything out.
Understood.
In fact, I'm still figuring out, like, the in-depth lore behind it.
Like, why are they here?
So, you know, it could be like, did it it could be they were just always there
Like there's numerous ways I can go with it, but i'm still trying to
Plan all that sure. Yeah. No my favorite version even though this sounds weird my favorite version of magical fish air quotes
Is in dishonored
um the way that that world works is
uh, the game kind of takes place in
what would be like steampunky England,
even though it's not really,
but it's this island off the coast of a main continent.
But the main continent is this weird place no one goes to.
So for the most part, people stick to the island
and they fish and most of their stuff is powered by oil
from whales, but the whales,
as you read through documents and stuff,
there's something going on with them
and there's definitely some potential old god stuff
and the whales, they are magical in a way
and so the whale bones do things
and yeah, it's this crazy world where they're,
you know, the whales power their life,
but at the same time are these beautiful,
majestic magic creatures that they need to kill
in order to live, but by killing them,
they are potentially angering some sort of,
you know, deity.
And I was like, yeah, this is cool as hell.
And then that went nowhere,
because they ended the game after the second one,
because I guess they didn't want to make them.
Yeah, they had this huge franchise.
They had all this lore.
And then the second game, they literally just stopped.
I just don't, I don't know what they were thinking.
They created this thing called the Outsider,
which was like this big overarching deity.
And yeah, I'll just let you know that the second game they're
like we're making a DLC called the death of the outsider that's it done
I was like what never been so disappointed big disappointment but I do
love the first game and would highly recommend it all right very close it's
one of those games that lets you do whatever the hell you want so yeah it's
good vibes yeah I actually thought of that So yeah, it's good vibes. Yeah, I
Actually thought of that idea as well. It's like a cool thing. So I like I know if you've seen princess Mononoke
Yes, yeah, I like the I like the theme behind that of just like it's like man versus nature and like trying to corrupt So I was like that could kind of be a theme of like the People are trying to mass catch these fish or like hire these wizards to like force them the fish or just being like we need
to catch as many as we can get powerful and then the
The actual like water and nature starts fighting back in some way like maybe they got crazy creatures that start
Attacking or like, you know, there's a bunch of ways you can go with it
But I kind of like that aspect of like man vs. Nature
Yeah, I think the best way to do a story like that is to start with a
Cataclysm or some type of of you know the nature reacting and people being like we don't even understand why that's happening
And then reveal slowly through the book that like oh, no the people are doing this. They're just dumb
Yeah, like that kind of thing is always fun where it's like
thousands died when the waves washed up upon the shawl and then it's like nobody like we did that whoops yeah a lot of times that's fun prologues do
but apparently now people don't like prologues which like I get I think if
prologues are really badly done then well yes if anything is badly done it's
not very good but I think prolog especially, a lot of people just skip them.
But sometimes they've got really great,
like I keep thinking back to, what was it?
The second Jurassic Park book, Lost World,
where the opening is on a beach
and a bunch of those compies like eat a little kid,
and I was like, holy crap,
that is a hell of a way to start a book.
I keep thinking about that.
Like sometimes it's done really, really well.
Yeah.
So I think if it sets up the theme of your book,
then it's actually really cool.
Cause then you kind of know what to expect.
Cause then you can kind of play around with more boring
things where you're just like,
here's a character doing this.
Like maybe they're just fishing or whatever.
But then you know, like shit's going to get crazy.
Cause I read about it at the start of the book
and I know it's gonna happen
Yeah, I'm always a big fan of like huge set piece insane intro thing cut to my name's John Johnson
I'm a like a Fisher and it's like him and it's very you know
Hobbit esque and you can imagine the music in the background and it's like a totally different on the other side of the world vibe
Yeah, I love those cuz that's um those were
Brandon Sanderson's things too he's like the prologue is supposed to be like a
promise where he's like in Star Wars that the movie opens up and you see like
the big battle on the ship Darth Vader's walking through the halls and he's like
where are they and then it like cuts the loop being like I'm a farmer and here I
am he's like right there promising you like hey guys
There's gonna be some crazy like star battle shit and whatever but like just hold on for a while. We'll get to that
Yep, I love that kind of stuff. I think that is
Absolutely the way to do it. It. You know you need that hook, and I love a good hook so yeah
So that's been a lot of fun. I've literally just been working on that for
at this point like months just planning out stuff retooling stuff eventually
you're gonna have to go like eventually have to pull the trigger on this thing
well it's not me well I've been writing still like I said I've written two
thousand words so you know somebody somebody will be like two thousand
words I write that a day like that's's cool. But, I don't care, it's more just making actual progress.
Yeah, you're doing it for fun right now, instead of, this is my job.
Yeah, exactly.
So, because that's one of my big goals, is I just want to write a book.
And my goal isn't to have that book be the greatest book ever.
I just want it to be a book where people read it and enjoy it and go, wow, I can't believe Krendor wrote this. That's the main comment I want.
I want that book to come out so I can say, wow, yeah, no, Krendor definitely wrote this.
Yeah. So we'll see. I've also been reading, which helps, obviously.
I was reading Mistborn. I don't know if you read that. That's the Brandon Sanderson one.
I have the first book on my audible. I have not. I was gonna listen to it when I went overseas and I, as I mentioned on a previous episode,
got distracted by all the movies I've never seen in theaters and was like, I'll watch these instead!
Oh yeah.
But it is, it is, the very first book is on my phone right
now to listen to. Yeah, it's, I'm like a third of the way through that. It's pretty good.
It's one of those things where I'm reading it and then I kind of go back and analyze
the writing and the writing style now that I'm like doing that. And then I also started
reading Game of Thrones again. Oh good god. I love
those books to death but I don't know how that translates to you because that
man George RR Martin's like 18 pages of describing a feast. Oh yeah no I it's not
my writing at all. My writing is more probably like far more basic but I kind of like reading it just to see the
comparison you know I mean it's almost like a study type thing so I only read
like a couple pages of Game of Thrones but it's nice seeing the writing style
and kind of learning from it because yeah it's very much like and here's it's
like reading a history book half the time of like here's a name of like sir
Eddard Stark son of blah blah blah
Heir of the throne and blah blah blah, and you're like okay
There's like 20 names and then it's like yeah the description of like an entire paragraph describing a patch of grass
Thank all right. I think those books are very very very good
Better than the show I will stand
But I think everyone agrees after Better than the show. I will stand on that. Oh, yeah.
But I think everyone agrees,
after a while the show fell apart.
But like, the biggest issue is
there's so much to follow.
Like, the big difference
between the show and the books
is there's like 15 additional characters
not even in the show.
And then there's all these different houses
and different...
I don't know how much I'll remember when this man finally releases the next book.
It's been so long. I'm ready for it. Yeah, I'm ready for it. I know what's happening in the story, but I also am just...
I know I'm gonna be like, hold up. Let me go to the wiki. What?
It's uh, I was actually reading somebody's theory and why he hasn't written it yet.
And I said...
Number one was he's a perfectionist.
So like, if he doesn't think it's good enough, like, he's not gonna do it.
They're like, he's to the point where he revises his own writing so much that he doesn't even need a rough draft.
Cause his draft is just like constantly being revised.
So it's like, okay.
And now he's gotten to the point where there's so many characters that he has to make sure
they're all like intertwined correctly and like nothing's out of place or nothing feels
wrong.
And then he has the added pressure of the show doing terribly at the end.
So people are like-
Yeah, he has to nail it.
Yeah.
So like he really has to get it right.
So you have that on top of everything else.
So he's just probably
Constantly rethinking stuff and rewriting and on top of that. He's just busy with all the other shit
He's doing and for the most part um
From what I understand the way the show
Ended is
The rough outline of how he wanted to end it and people did not like the ending
So I wonder if he's like oh back to the drawing board I go so is the rough outline of how he wanted to end it, and people did not like the ending.
So I wonder if he's like,
oh, back to the drawing board I go.
So I don't know,
I just don't know what's going on over there.
I also, to be honest,
kind of have a feeling of
maybe he doesn't want any of the criticisms,
so he's working on them,
and then he's just like,
when I die
release them yeah you know what I mean maybe it's like I want to see people
complain and hate my stuff if I'm dead like I honestly don't know I have no
idea what his thoughts are he could just be caught up in it I mean the man's now
working they he helped with the lore of Elden Ring and now they're making an
Elden Ring movie and I guarantee he's attached yeah it it's plus it's kinda like what we mentioned earlier.
He's to the point where he has enough money that he doesn't have to care.
I care because you can't tell me a multi-book story and then not have an ending.
Literally for people who are curious where the books left off.
Remember in the show where a certain main character just dies? That's where we left off.
That's like before the show went downhill, we're at that point.
So and if you're wondering why the show went downhill,
because they had to make it up as they went along with the rest of it.
We're at the point, like the man is the greatest cliffhanger in forever
and we're just like, brother, what are you doing?
Give us answers.
It's rough.
I think he probably also has
some bitterness towards the show and the way they handled it. Oh he definitely
does especially House of the Dragon he is not admittedly I'm with him. Season one
House of the Dragon I actually really really liked. Season two nothing happened.
It was eight nine ten episodes of people just being like something's gonna happen and then nothing happened in the season finale
the last five minutes was people marching off to battle and I was like
How dare they nothing occurred it was crazy
Yeah, it's I haven't read a thing
He said he was like bashing the way they handled numerous characters or he was like little finger wouldn't have given sands up like that
Like he's just directly being like yeah, they were I don't know what the shit they were thinking
As someone who has done shows
Once writers have it out of the creators hands
They can kind of do whatever they want and the creators can approve or disapprove, but if the majority of producers agree,
then that's what it's gonna be.
And so I can't tell you the amount of times
I fought for things and was overruled
and was like, all right, I don't like this, but okay.
And it just happened.
Like, that's just how it works.
It sucks, but that's it.
Yeah, I think that was, Brandon Sanderson said
that was one of the reasons he hasn't done any shows for any of his books and stuff.
Because he's like, I always tell him, like, I want full control.
And they're like, no.
Yeah, and they never will, because it's all.
When you go to a production company, you go to someone and they're like, hey,
we'll give you six million dollars to make this.
They're going to want full control.
It's just what it is because it's their money.
And I get it. If I'm putting money into a thing, I want control over it too. And that's the problem is a lot of times
You just never get that
Yeah, so it's there's definitely
some bitterness from
George R. R. Martin there being like they messed up my show
So and maybe he's gotten over it now, but I feel like when it happened
He probably didn't work on the book as much because he was just like they ruined my
Project there might his child essentially he'd been working on
With that said he could have
Completed one of those books by the time they got to that point in the show So they could like it is a little bit on him to man did not do anything. Oh, yeah
No, it's definitely on him to plus. It's like I think he's plenty of time
I think he's perfectionist and so he just he probably could have released something by now, but he just hasn't
Yeah, I mean it's very clear that when he went to go make a book, and then he had split into two books
Mm-hmm. It's like okay. This guy is operating on a whole other level of insanity
Yeah, well he talks like an an insane gnome engineer from WoW.
He really is a gnome!
Yeah.
I like to craft my books!
That's how he talks.
Which
doesn't surprise me.
But
speaking of that, you see
Nick Cage as John Ben.
Dude, not only did I see that, I messaged you like we have to watch this movie.
Yeah, oh yeah.
That's incredible.
This is the most insane movie he may be a part of.
Yeah, it's just Nick Cage and Christian Bale together in what will be an incredibly ridiculous
movie.
I know they're going to it seriously which makes even better
Yeah, it is
Genuinely insane I need to hear Nick Cage's John Madden voice I need to see him to like a play call. I just I need this
of like all the people
To get to play John Madden. It's just like I
the people to get to play John Madden. It's just like I can't believe they picked Nick Cage but it is perfect. Yeah I would be very excited if at some point
this movie they did like a bit where he signs his name over to the Madden NFL
game series. Yeah. And we're just gonna see Nick Cage do that. I kind of want
there's so many things I just want to see Nick Cage do that. I kind of want there's so many things. I just want to see Nick Cage do yeah
No, that would be fantastic just one night in addition with Nick Cage on it
You open the game. He's just like EA Sports
It's in the game if they had the audacity if EA had the cojones to do this
They should do a free DLC of Nick Cage Madden
do this they should do a free DLC of Nick Cage Madden that'd be incredible that would be incredible hey there players it's me Nick Cage I mean John Madden
no they could be Nick Cage in the game as John Madden yeah right right right
me Nick Cage as John Madden look at that look at how they toss the ball boom run up the
metal oh I could toss a ball for hours
that's it's gotta happen I was gonna ask
you because you said honey nor you said
it I think it might been my stream you
said there's a story that you have to
tell me I do and I'm not sure if we should save it to be our new story or not because it's that good
It is we can say it's the best thing. It's not news, but it feels like news all right
Yeah, we'll save it for the news story though. It's pretty I couldn't find any good news stories anyway great
But you know what we're not saving for
Make this spring your best, because summer's around the corner and I know you want to look
good out there during summer, where the clothes comes off and the sun hits your skin.

With Crandoor. How's go to Chopper's of May I believe it's like 18 degrees below average right now so that's kind
of dumb at least here I don't know where it is other places got like tornadoes
and shit so that's pretty crazy so watch out for those thank you thanks Crendor
now let's go over to Crendor at the weather desk how's that weather we've
got a weather request for the Greek island how much said the geek
islands the geek islands geek islands of Kia kea the island is quite popular
location for scuba divers one notable dive site is the wreck of HMHS Britannic
sister ship to the Titanic Britannic was serving as a hospital
ship during the First World War and when she struck a German mine on November 21st, 1916,
she sank about four miles northwest of Kia and was the largest ship in the entire war,
or lost in the entire war. There is a conspiracy theory, I can't remember
what it is, there's a conspiracy theory about the Titanic and the Britannic being this like switched or something. Dude, I don't know, I can't remember what it is. There's a conspiracy theory about the Titanic and the Britannic being this like switched or something.
Dude, I don't know, I can't remember what it is,
but look it up on the internet.
It is, well you would imagine most conspiracy theories
are like absolutely bonkers, but I love it.
Perfect for Mathis.
Let's see, KIA South Aegean Greece?
Aegean, is that what you mean? Yeah, Aegean. Yeah, South Aegean Greece? Aegean? Is that what you mean?
Aegean?
Yeah, the Aegean Sea?
Yeah, the South Aegean Sea.
It sounds like a Game of Thrones name.
The Aegean Empire.
Oh wow, it is kind of right off the coast of Athens almost.
Yeah.
It is 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
Feels like 65 degrees Fahrenheit. feels like 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
Humidity 59%, pressure 30 inches, visibility 9 miles, winds at 7 miles an hour, dew point 51.
UV index is a zero, because it's currently nighttime there, and you got the waning crescent moon looking over you.
6.08 AM, sunrise, 8.30 PMpm sunset, and the 10 day.
Uh, Thursday, we got mostly sunny, 70 degrees. Friday, 69, nice, partly cloudy.
Saturday, 72, mostly sunny.
Sunday, yeah, mostly cloudy.
Skies with a 70 degrees.
Monday, you got 66 and sunny.
Tuesday, 67 and sunny.
And Wednesday, 69, mostly sunny.
Nice.
I'm like mesmerized by this place.
It is both completely in the middle of nowhere.
Everything here seems kind of like
you're in a national park vibe.
But at the same time you go to one of these
in the middle of nowhere kind of housing developments
and it's gorgeous houses.
Like very modern looking, beautiful homes, but it's also just, there's one I found called
Greek Odyssey Homes.
And the wall around it is straight up just like an old stone wall that looks like it's
probably, you know, a hundred two hundred years old but then behind it
Using those same stones are houses that I'm like that looks like a very modern home
And then there's nothing else around there's like four or five of these houses and then nothing else for miles
I'm just like looking but I don't know how things operate
Maybe somebody just wanted a modern house there.
They just built their own. Yeah. And then there's some,
like every restaurant I click on looks absolutely gorgeous. The,
the views, the way they're designed, just gorgeous.
But then you click on the food and it looks like any Greek restaurant you would
ever go
to. Yeah which I mean I guess it checks out. Yeah but I like I get it but it just
looks like you know I guess you're paying mostly for the view. There are some
very nice views I mean there's a lot of places where you're paying for the view.
Yeah yeah but I mean like food wise I'm trying to find something wacky and crazy
but everything just kind of seems like a 4.4 on here they're all good but yeah it's a lot of a eating
falafel you're eating you know yeah you're eating some meats and hummus and
the whole thing like that's it like a heenie burger with fries or wrap most
of the time you're eating some sort of wrap with fries a lot of
kebab stuff
But it's all the every restaurant. I'm looking at seems roughly the same
It's almost like you just pick which view you're looking for
Yeah, food. It's like where do we want to eat today? What do you want? Okay? Let's go to that one
Yeah, I found a chop house, and it's again, it's just a chop house and if you want
meat plus fries that's what you're getting, but the view is outstanding. I
mean I guess it's keeping it simple. I'm just amazed by this entire area. I just
don't quite understand how it operates. It's just all mountainous. And then
ever so often, Greek restaurant. Which again, makes sense. But I think this is the first
time we've, like Greek food, Mediterranean food is so influential that when you think
about going to places, right? The idea that when you think about if we were to go look at different places from around the world
We wouldn't it's not often that we see of like we're looking at Greece and all the food
We're seeing is Greek food. You know what I mean, right?
Usually be like yeah, we're gonna look at this place. There's the McDonald's. There's the Taco Bell. That's true. There's the pizza place
There's the steakhouse. There's the sushi. There's the Chinese, right?
This is it's Greece and it's all Greek and I think that's it's very fascinating but on point, you know what I mean?
Yeah, no. Yeah now I'm looking around trying to see if I can find the McDonald's
That's what I'm trying to find anything that isn't Greek. You know what I mean?
That is like yeah, it's a steakhouse, but no, that's a Greek you know what I mean that is like yeah it's a steakhouse but no that's a Greek steakhouse yeah no I'm struggling to find it it's got yeah
there's a barbecue place it says it's Philippa's barbecue and I'm like okay
barbecue let's go it the plates look the exact same there's mayor Marcy that's like a food store there's coffee
places but the coffee places are still they're selling things that look very
similar to the other places as well yeah maybe if we go like inland, maybe up.
I guess it's only in the close.
I think this island is, it's almost quintessential
for what you would expect out of Greece.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I'm sure if we went to Athens,
we would see the McDonald's of Athens.
Oh yeah.
It would be a little more, but this is an island
in the Greek
islands and they just were like we are where we are and we know what we are and
when people come here they come here for vacation in Greece and so we're gonna
give them Greek food. I think you're right because it is. There's nothing
that I can see here and honestly I get it I'm kind of here for it I imagine if
we went to you know the middle of nowhere in China,
it would all be Chinese food instead of,
you know, that kinda, whatever else they have.
Or if you went to India, there'd be Indian food
if you ended up, you know, in some province
way in the middle of nowhere.
For a brief second I thought you were gonna say Indiana.
If you went to Indiana, there were a lot of Indian food.
Yeah, and that's the weather.
Alright, let's go to sports.
Sports.
Oh boy, here we are at the sports desk.
Beep-a-doo, dee-doo-doo.
NBA Playoffs, we've got the final four teams there.
We've got the Thunder up one game on the Timberwolves.
And then we've got
speaking of which Indiana the Indiana Pacers playing the Knicks and that game
starts tonight so that's that's actually a good rivalry that's like a 90s rivalry
Pacers Knicks it does you know the players aren't there we don't have
players talking crap but But you never know.
This might spark some new rivalries from them playing.
Yeah. And then we've got the Stars Oilers in the NHL
and then the Panthers Hurricanes are the other team.
So both one seed Canadian teams, the Jets and Maple Leaves both lose
in classic NHL fashion. We now have the
Oilers as the only Canadian team and the other three teams are Dallas, Florida and
Carolina who are you know always known for their hockey. Right, right. Which I
always think is funny it's like the the cold weather teams are always just
losing. Well I mean I have to imagine that it's easy to lure good players to warm areas for hockey
Yeah, that is true
I mean so it kind of makes it seem ridiculous that a warm weather team would win, but I get it
Yeah, plus there's probably the it's only warm on the outside you go inside
They're probably like I got out of that heat now now we're in the air-conditioned ice building.
It's only warm on the outside.
Yeah, it's like a hot pocket.
Yep, that's what I was literally about to say. Just like a hot pocket.
Molten lava except right in the center.
That's just what every hot weather NHL team stadium is like. Yep.
And then in baseball we got the Yankees in first, the Tigers in first, the Mariners in
first, the Phillies in first, the Cubs in first, and the Dodgers in first. How was your
Dodger birthday game? Great. They lost. But it was fun.
The funniest part admittedly was my mom can't accept the world for as it is, I think.
And so we went and she bought these tickets for my birthday and it was very lovely.
And you know, I got some Dodger dogs, I walked around, drank some, explored the park.
Uh, you know, they were losing by four at one point.
So I was like, I'm going to go for a walk.
Um, and, uh, I had a blast.
I got my, the, the weirdest part is right where my arm, I guess, like my forearm
and the top part of my, you know, right near my elbow, but not the elbow is sunburned
on both arms, but nowhere else, just right there,
which is very weird.
So that hurts, but other than that, I had a great time.
My mom, however, I guess,
cause the seats were smaller than usual.
My dad couldn't get comfortable.
So she was upset about that.
My dad wasn't having a good time.
My mom kept apologizing. She's like, you know, these seats I had before were better. And
I was like, these are fine. I'm doing all. She's like, I know. Oh, and they didn't
went on your game. You know, like all that kind of stuff. Right. And she, I, it was very
much like a, her trying to preempt me being upset, but I wasn't upset. I was having a
great time. And I literally had to in the car on the ride home be like, stop apologizing. I don't want to hear about the seats anymore. I don't like it's fine. It
was, I had a good time. You don't need to apologize for something that's not, it's not
in your head. You did nothing. You did nothing wrong. Why are you upset? It's that kind of
stuff. Or I was like, calm down. It's chill. I had a great time. So yeah, I
had a good time. I walked around and looked at stuff. I drank a little. It was good. The
guy sitting next to my dad was a Japanese man who he kept claiming in broken English
that he was Otani's former roommate in Japan. And we were like, okay.
That's definitely interesting.
Yeah. I was like, I'm not sure that man had a former roommate like yeah
He's been very good at baseball his entire life and only was ever in like baseball lodgings, but whatever okay?
Yeah, I don't I don't know if he would have a roommate outside of like fellow teammates that would probably also be playing baseball
Yeah, I was like but he insisted he insisted and so I was like oh, yeah, oh cool cool
What if he's gone to every Dodgers game as a fan, then he's just convinced himself of that so he just tells anybody around
It's quite possible. Yeah, it's good. I will say it is prevalent
That we have a very good Japanese player because the audience was like the crowd
Was a lot of
Japanese tourists. Oh, yeah
That's like it was there was a lot of lines and stuff because people were trying to translate and I was like honestly
I kind of dig it. Yeah, it's um, that's why a lot of the Japanese players sign with West Coast teams usually
plus they're closer to home
so and the amount of Japanese food themed things now? Pretty insane. My favorite part is they
had a, we were walking by, and I'm not sure how best to describe this, but you know like
Takoyaki, the little octopus balls, right? Well they have a mascot for them.
It's a little tiny ball octopus boy.
He's very cute.
But what's funny about it is they have stands
in the park now at Dodger Stadium
where you literally can just get Japanese finger foods.
And one of the best parts was my dad walking by
was like, what's that?
When you're sitting there, they have giant screens, right? One of the best parts was my dad walking by was like, what's that? When you're sitting there, they have giant screens, right?
Yeah.
One of the giant screens was broadcasting
a full on commercial for them, explaining what they were.
And I was like, ah, they know my parents.
And I thought that was very cute,
cause it was like, first we take the octopus
and then we give it love.
And I'm like, okay.
All right.
It was cute.
It was pretty fun.
I mean, we have Japanese players on the Cubs,
so we get some Japanese visitors and stuff like that,
but I don't think it's nearly as much as LA.
Yeah, oh no, it was sizable to the point
where it wasn't just a few people here and there,
it was noticeable.
Everyone who was sitting around us,
I would say everyone sitting around us, I would say out of everyone sitting around
us, like, I don't know, three fifths of them were, I'm not gonna say Japanese, but I'll
say Asian. And the one, hilariously, even in America, the loudest person, drunk American
woman, loudly screaming, every time they, you know, got a home run against them or
couldn't strike out a batter, she was like, like, loudly. At one point, it was so funny.
She's like, my five-year-old could throw better than that. And the guy sitting next
to her was like, you don't have a five-year-old. She's like, yeah, I have a
grandson though. I was like, damn, Grandma, okay. She was gone was gone dude she was so drunk and I was
like well I'm glad all these tourists
who came here I could barely speak
English got to have this great moment
that's very good yeah yeah I had a good
time yeah um that sports oh okay has anyone come to us with tears in the...
Wait, no, we have fact of the day first.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr of neon tetra fish cue so that they don't collide or clog up the line. Scientists interpreted this behavior is showing that fish can respect social
rules even in emergency situations unlike humans. I was about to say. So I
wonder if maybe it's just as simple as the fish are all British I think is what
we learned. That's true they might just help you British fish who quite right come tetras here's a little cute you
get a lot yeah yeah the ocean's
basically tea you know yeah when you
really think about it yes basically just
tea so I get it checks out this is a
fact of the day all right to us come to
us with tears in their eyes?
We've got tears.
Here are...
We've got tears.
Here are the tears.
Dear illustrious sirs, I come before thee
with tears in my eyes from seasonal allergies
and implore of you, what topics of discussion
would each of your parents bring
should they ever be guests on this podcast?
I don't know.
The best part is I know my mom listens,
so she would 100% tell me.
Like we might have an update next time of what she would bring.
In fact, didn't she, uh,
she wanted me to talk about the Pope's portillo's order and eat it on stream.
Right?
That's true. Yes.
She messaged me and said you should ask Cranor to go get the Pope dog or whatever the hell
It is at Portillo's. Italian beef, yeah. Yeah, and then report back. Yeah, the thing is already offering advice
The thing is I looked it up. It's pretty much the exact Italian beef order
I get when I go to Portillo's so it's like I kind of already know what it tastes like and
Me thinking you're you'd be a good pope continues. Exactly.
I already eat like the pope.
Yeah.
Just like him.
Yeah, what would your dad talk about?
My dad would probably start out making jokes
and then veer very quickly into politics.
He'd be very progressive, yet a little racist at the same time.
Like I just know what would happen.
He'd be like, you know, like, yeah, yeah, I agree with this.
No, okay, nevermind.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think my mom would just be like,
I'm just happy to be here.
And then my dad would be probably about the same,
but he would be telling more jokes.
He loves to try to tell jokes.
Yeah, my dad would definitely try to tell jokes,
and they'd be inappropriate at best.
Yes, 100%.
There'd be a joke he heard once in 1967 that he thought was amazing,
and I'm just doing a little retelling and it's like dad
No, no, no, I'm not here. You can't
Yeah, no, it's pretty much the same
So there we go
And then
Dear illustrious sirs do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Wait, what do you mean? What? The approval system for SCP.
Ah, okay, now we know.
Yeah, there you go, now you know.
That was really a question.
Yeah, I was gonna say, I was like, okay, and?
I will say based on SCP, last time we were talking about it I went to go look up some.
Hmm.
I forget it's fan-based. of them not necessarily written well oh yeah
I mean it's I read through some of us like who wrote this this is this could
be great like the idea of what it was I was like oh this is cool and then I
started reading it was like oh, this is seventh grade that best
Yeah, it's I mean I'm still under the impression that school actually teaches you how to write terribly
Because it death I had to like unlearn as I was writing and learning more about writing you learn that school teaches you essentially to fill
your Paper with meaningless filler words to hit a word count, right?
Because it's, they'll be like, write a 1000 word essay on whatever.
And so you'll be like, this is an essay about the ways that things are in the place called
England.
And you just like stretch everything out so you can hit the word count.
But then when you actually start writing, I think you have to unlearn that because people don't want to read that
because it's just you don't read unnecessary words you just want the
shortest sentences possible to get your point across. Yeah and I think that's
definitely something that well at least when I taught it wasn't a big thing that
I was trying to do I was more about about like, whatever your topic is, I want you to write as if you're passionate
about it, even though you hate it.
You know what I mean?
Like you were assigned this, but I know it's not your first choice.
Like if you're doing a book report, for example, I'd be like, okay, I know there's this one
girl she'd always have on her, like erotic books. That was her thing
That's what she read and I would never hate her for that. I would always be like yo new book
She's like, yeah, this one's about I don't know this lady who goes around banging dudes
I don't know whatever the hell here and I was like cool
I'm glad you're reading and when I would explain book reports to her because she hated reading other books, I'd be like, just write,
when you explain to me your books,
write to me as if you were explaining the book you love,
but it's this book you're forced to read by the state.
Just do that.
It doesn't have to be 500 pages.
Just give it the same care you would
for the book about like, you know, Janice's
adventures in, she started her own business, but she's got three guys who are interested
in her and she's sleeping with all three guys, but they don't know, but when they find out,
she's in a world of hurt. And I'm like, all right, yeah, okay. Do the same thing, but
for to kill a mockingbird. Please, same, and it went so much better than
everyone has to write 500 words or six pages
or whatever the case may be.
Because yeah, you're completely right.
People would do the like, in ancient Greece,
which was an ancient time in Greece,
there were many gods, plural,
because there was more than one god in ancient Greece.
That is because they were not monotheistic, which is the worship of one god.
Like, okay, alright.
Yeah, so, you can't blame people for writing like that, because it literally is taught
to you, and you're just trying to take the easiest route possible to getting it done.
Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. It's school, you're like, to take the easiest route possible to getting absolutely yeah yeah it's cool you're like oh five hundred words great you
didn't say they had to be good five hundred words yeah well that was
probably even worse people just like chat GPT write me a book report then you
get like 30 of the same book reports and it's like I know what you all did write
it again there's your dear illustrious sirs. Alright! It's time for a big new story of the day.
Crendor, this is barely news.
But I think it is.
I think this is the greatest new story I've ever seen.
I have a photo for you at the end.
Anyway, as you know, on Twitter, X, whatever we call it now,
the advertisements, as most advertisers have left, Mm-hmm as you know on Twitter X whatever we call it now
The advertisements as most advertisers have left because that place is assessable. All right Um now ads are just random dudes paying for ad space and it is all over the place crazy
I've posted about it before where it's just like
Sometimes the lady trying to be like hey
Come look at my only fans and sometimes it's a lady trying to be like, hey, come look at my OnlyFans.
And sometimes it's a dude just randomly being like,
did you know that Mexicans are gonna kill your kids?
And it's like, what the hell?
Yep.
Anyway, I found the best version of this.
And it's so long and amazing,
and I can't believe some dude paid for this.
I just need you to know,
this is the greatest thing I've ever read.
And I'm sure if you went to Twitter right now you could probably find this ad.
Ladies, siren emoji, here is the brutal truth you need to hear.
After 20 years at the top of the game, I have seen it all.
And my verdict for the ladies is devastating but true capitals.
Most women are terrible at picking up men. My verdict for the ladies is devastating but true capitals.
Most women are terrible at picking up men.
They sit around waiting for guys to approach them and end up with whatever broke awkward
zero value loser shows up.
No wonder your life is miserable and full of regrets.
The path to a dream life is through a high quality man who protects
and provides for his woman. Anything less is a guaranteed life of struggle and regret.
If I were a woman, this is the exact roadmap I would use to secure a high quality man and
build the life, I'm sorry, dream life every woman secretly craves.
One, level up your body to the highest level.
Gym, strict diet, full discipline.
Men with money and power do not chase average.
They want perfection.
If your body is average, so is your dating pool.
Two, go full luxury. Book an elite plastic surgeon. dating pool. 2.
Go full luxury.
Book an elite plastic surgeon.
New tits are crucial.
Every real man loves them.
Simple as that.
Tight waist, polished face, like it or not, men are very visual.
Upgrade your presentation significantly if you want to attract high quality men.
3.
Start fishing in the right waters.
Change your environment, stop partying with broke boys and begin fishing in billionaire
waters.
Yacht clubs, luxury hotels, and business lounges are where you find high quality men.
Sounds like prostitution, okay for make the first
move by the way this is an ad this is some guys it is so long I can't believe
that this is the stuff that's on there right now it's incredible for make the
first move yes approach him a powerful tactic is to write your number on a note
with a short compliment and hand it to him.
Men respect confident and feminine energy. You will really stand out. And you have just moved
ahead of every passive woman still waiting for the right man to show up.
5. It's a numbers game. Like everything else in life, don't settle for anything less than
elite quality. The chance that the first man, with a watch and a smile as your soulmate
is almost zero. Go through your options and experience some rejections. It will only make
you stronger. Then, sooner or later, you'll find your soulmate. The man who gives you
the life all women desperately crave to have.
6. This is very important. Get a clear photo of his face early and run face recognition online.
That gives you full background access. If he's a broke, weak, or low value male,
walk away immediately. Next!
Walk away immediately period. Next period.
The insanity needs to stop.
No more broke men who pay with coupons and split the bill.
You have one life.
Do not throw it away and end up miserable, full of regrets.
Choose a life of high quality man and it will become the love story.
You could never even dream about.
Good luck queens.
Play to win. PS.
Yes, I could easily teach any woman how to attract any man she desires and be for women what Andrew Tate is for men, a builder of high quality value. But I'm on a mission from God,
so there's little time for distractions. Therefore, sorry ladies, the ultimate high-quality man is busy
And I just want to right now at the end here
Send you this image
Of the ultimate high-quality man
Yep, that's
Pretty much exactly what I was expecting. My favorite part is at the end of the ad he just posts this photo of himself.
Like, sir, I would not have posted the photo. I just wouldn't have let anyone know.
I would be like, no, no, no, that's alright.
I would not have done that either.
I cannot believe that that is someone's, not only hot take which is crazy a crazy thing to say
because it's clear he's not looking for a girlfriend or a wife but like a
prostitute is what he's looking for and more importantly he paid for it to be an
ad and then was like I want to be for women what Andrew Tate is for men but
not really because I'm with God Queens Bye
Like it's just one of the craziest things I've ever read
And I know he means it
Which is even funnier
You definitely know he means it
It's also just
It shows number one how bad the Twitter ads and shit are there now
Especially you can make money off tweets and stuff people are just flooded with spam
number it read like
He was doing the opposite of Cosmo like he was doing his own
Yes, it really it really reads even though it's like dear ladies. This is for you
It really reads is like a thing for guys to read
Even though it's like dear ladies. This is for you. It really reads is like a thing for guys to read
Yeah, it feels like he's just talking about his own things of what he wants like just being like you need fake boobs
like I Don't think if you went around interviewing men they would all say that but it's like I think the worst part about this is a lot
of people just be like
This is what men want and it's like there's literally billions of men and women.
And people being like, this is what women want.
It's like, I don't think you can just generalize
billions of people.
What's crazy about it, besides all of it,
is the fact that the start of it, it's like, okay.
He's like, hey man, I've lived a life that, you know,
I don't know, starting at 20 years, the top of my game. I don't think that's accurate at all.
But he says, you know, women are terrible at picking up men. That is actually something I
agree with that statement. I think that societally women have most of the time been told that men
will come to you and you need to give them subtle hints to like let them know it's okay and no man I'll say most men can't
pick up on that at all they just can't then it's just it's so funny to watch
dudes not realize that a woman's into them like all right I can agree with that
statement in fact his next one number one level up your body I think that's
good for everyone I think everyone should level up their body. But then it's the follow-up paragraph that's insane where he's like, you know, you need
to be on a strict diet. You need full discipline. Men don't want average. They want like perfection.
I don't know that that sounds psychotic. That sounds like the guy we saw at that Los Angeles mall.
That sounds like the guy we saw at that Los Angeles mall. The inlaid, you're done eating.
Yes, yes.
Exactly.
And then he says, two, go full luxury.
And in my mind, I'm thinking, like, yeah, treat yourself,
Queen, you got this.
But the next sentence is, book an elite plastic surgeon.
New tits are crucial.
I was like, all right, go full luxury is not new tits. I don't think that's what that means, but it is to him which is hilarious
And then he's like then he's like start fishing in the right waters
And I kind of agree if you want to find someone of us like certain type
Go to where that person would be like that makes perfect sense to me that one
That's a good, but he's like but he's like go to yacht clubs luxury hotels and business lounges again
That's just you're gonna get confused for a prostitute if you do that don't do that that is I mean is that where he goes?
or is he just
Telling them maybe I don't know it's correct and then him saying make the first move. Yeah. Look. I think that's great
I think everyone should be able to ask someone out. That's fine
Yeah, look, I think that's great. I think everyone should be able to ask someone out. That's fine. But then he says things like,
Men respect confidence and feminine energy.
But I know his definition of feminine energy and confidence is not my definition.
Oh yeah. I agree, yeah.
It sounds like he's reading or he's writing his own like fanfiction of what he wants
In his mind there is definitely a very particular girl. He's thinking of yeah
Like he was like I wish she would ask me out and then also accept that I think her tits are too small
And I'm gonna make her go to a plastic surgeon like I think that's what's happening here
Like I think he wants to go to the yacht club get invited
Like I think he wants to go to the yacht club get invited
And then she shows up and is like hey want to go out he's like damn you got fake tits and
And a great personality and feminine energy. Yeah, let's do it. I must stress for the record here There's nothing about personality in here at all. Yeah, of course not. Nothing. Personality is not included.
Being confident and having feminine energy
and approaching men is included.
But I would wonder, because at the end he says,
it's a number game.
Go through the ejection, right?
Right.
How much you want to bet if a woman approached him and said,
hey, I think you're great.
And she looks exactly how he wants. And he's super into her. And then she said, oh, said, Hey, I think you're great. And she looks exactly how he wants.
And he's super into her. And then she said, Oh yeah, no, I've been following your advice for a
while, especially number five on numbers game. And I've dated a lot of men. You say here,
go through your options, experience some rejections. It only makes you stronger. Sooner
later, you'll find your soulmate. She's like, you're my soulmate. And I finally found you.
And I'm ready to go. Like even if it was 10 guys He'd be like you were ten guys before me tramp like I just know this type of guy, and it's like what?
It's very clear. He's just like looking for an anime waifu. It's not a real person
He's looking for this is definitely the type of guy that goes on Instagram and leaves comments that are at the bottom of the comments
section of just like yo
Hit me up
When you are you knows open? Or is the guy to
go into like twitch streams with girls
and just be like yo what's up looking
good today and if they're like please
don't say that he'll be like dumb bitch.
That's definitely this guy.
You know there's just you need energy
about this post. The fact again this is
literally just some dudes ramble
that he then took and
Paid to be an ad
For what again? He's not advertising anything
There's not you know, there's no link to click on there's no brochure to buy at the end
He's like ladies. I would love to help you, but I'm with God and I can't buy like so what was this just pay to like talk some shit is
that the exact he made off of it or something maybe like it's the exact same
vibes when someone subscribes for a subscriber on chat to be like you suck
it's like okay thanks for the money man yeah it's a weird vibe I don't get it
yeah like the only thing I could think weird vibe. I don't get it. Yeah like
The only thing I could think of is like I know you make money off tweets
So maybe these tweets make money because they generate clicks
And then they will say it had a lot of views so maybe but there's no click
You know what I mean like where do you get a click? I don't know how it actually works at Twitter money
So I don't know yeah yeah I just I just don't
understand and I don't think we ever will
