Episode Date: August 18, 2025

This week Jesse is sick, and Crendor is just sick in the head. Thankfully tales of Jesse's travels in the UK might hold us together, and if not - Crendor watched Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, so that'...s pretty good. Thankfully a bear is here to save us from our boredom by hunting sports mascots. All this and more on a brand new Cox n' Crendor!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Today's episode's brought to by HeroForge. HeroForge has got those cool custom minis. Deliver directly to your home. Spice up your next game. It'll be great. Let's jump on this podcast. Hello, everybody. It's time for calls on Trendog.
Starting point is 00:00:16 Let's see Trend Dog in the morning. In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. Before our recording studio, recording. Wake your ass up! It's up next, Freddard in the morning. Hello, everybody.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Good news. Kempi! Kratory in the morning. Hello, everybody. What's on an episode of Cox and Kreddard in the morning? Oh, yeah. Really quickly. Can we talk about how coherent of an intro that was?
Starting point is 00:00:47 That was good. I am completely messed up on cough medicine and nasal decongestion right now, and that was, without a doubt, the clearest I've ever spoken in many episodes. Yeah, you were empowered. by the medicine. Really? I think I was.
Starting point is 00:01:03 It's just like when people with ADD drink caffeine and instead of making them like, it makes them kind of like mellow out. Oh yeah, I think you're right. I've heard of that. Or like help some sleep and stuff. But with me, it's high doses of cough medicine. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Although now you're falling apart again. Well, you know, it was a matter of, it was only a matter of time. Did you get this sickness from the flight back from England? I had to have. Yeah, for those who are curious, why we didn't have an episode last week, I was gone. I was at a wedding with Dodger. It was lovely, had a blast.
Starting point is 00:01:36 I love going to the UK, not during the summertime, because it is not just hot, but like muggy hot. So you constantly feel gross. However, yeah, I was fine. Spent a whole week in the UK, living life, got on the plane, flew back. No one seemed sick on the flight. Day after, had a weird tingle in my throat. day after that, no started running, and by Wednesday, Thursday, complete mess. And so I'm kind of on the other side of it now, but I'm still in that weird kind of messed up place where probably tomorrow I'll be significantly better, but we got to do our podcast today.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Yeah, no, I feel that as somebody who had numerous sicknesses last year. Yeah, thankfully it's just a cold. It wasn't anything crazy. I wasn't like, I was immediately trying to taste spicy food, just in case it was the old COVID. Ah, yeah. So it's not COVID or anything. I'm fine. My nose is just still a little funky, as I'm sure you can tell by listening. I'm maybe like vaguely here, but it's not too bad.
Starting point is 00:02:43 You are, in fact, the first person I've talked to verbally using my mouth in the last 48 hours. Oh yeah, I guess that'd be true. Do you do like the podcast? I did the podcast Friday, and then I did, I joined another podcast. thinking I could do it and by the end of it I was so exhausted
Starting point is 00:03:01 I went home and about Friday at I don't know 2 p.m. Stop talking to all human beings until right now. Yeah, I mean that's probably the best
Starting point is 00:03:14 the best thing you could have done you don't overdo it. Again, I'm sure people can tell I'm working my voice out. I'm like, hello! It's been so long since I've seen another human. It's
Starting point is 00:03:27 I mean, colds are, like, normal colds are just annoying. Yeah, it's a pain in the ass. It's not bad. It's just like, oh, come on, body. What are we doing? Well, I mean, your body's fighting. That's what it's doing. For some reason, 90% of the time when it's hot, like, when I'm hot, I hate it.
Starting point is 00:03:45 But when I'm cold, like, when I have a cold and I get a, like, it's hot outside, my body's like, this is what you need, bro. Embrace the heat. I don't know why. I can sit in the hottest room on earth and be fine if I have. a cold yeah well it's uh it's kind of like having a fever or your body cranks the temperature to help fight it so i think that's part of it because it helps fight off whatever so a hot room i'm like get me burn me let's go dude yeah every time i'd get sick every day i'd just take like
Starting point is 00:04:14 a super bath i just crank the heat and just get in there and be like oh yeah it was good it works yeah um but let's see what it uh because all you did was be sick, I guess. Well, hold on now. I do, I did spend a week in the UK. And boy, do I have stories. And it's great. So, I spent most of the time traveling between cities, just because I was going to go around and see different things.
Starting point is 00:04:45 So, like, a great example is, um, I can really, it's almost a wholesome story. On the very first weekend I was there, I went out with, uh, some of the team that makes, the FMB game that I'm making and while we were there Rupert the lead actor brought one of his friends who used to be a roommate of his who's an 89 year old
Starting point is 00:05:08 former writer on the show The Prisoner which was if you're like a if you're a big UK fan of TV from many many years ago that's huge but I'm an American so I was like oh that's fun
Starting point is 00:05:21 so he sat down with us no one was talking to this man so I took it upon myself to spend most of the time talking to this guy. We had the best conversation because I discovered that he really likes the new Superman movie and he spent two hours talking to me
Starting point is 00:05:39 about the new Superman movie. Oh my God. And I loved it. I was so enthralled because his opinions on things were like, you know, he's like, I'm old, I've seen the world, I've seen the good and the bad,
Starting point is 00:05:53 and I was like, sir, keep talking. You are just a joy. Loved it. Big fan. Shout out to that guy. Super fun. Then, uh, I went to Birmingham and the reason why is just because it was on the way to where the wedding was going to be. I've never been there. You know, very peaky blinders town, an old steel manufacturing kind of town. And, um, I just want to see what it was like. I went to the, you know, the Ozzy Osbourne Black Sabbath Bridge that had a big funeral
Starting point is 00:06:27 your funerary thing set up for him. Right. Walked around, saw all the things. Let me just tell you, as a fat guy, F. Birmingham. That city is all hills. It is all uphill or downhill and then uphill again. Dude, I walked, I don't even, I think that day alone I lost five pounds. That was, I felt so gross.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Just the worst. But with that said, I did do two things that were very fun. One, went to an escape room. Oh. And it was like a pirate-themed one that I did. Very fun. And during it, you know, trying to get, you know, sometimes when you try to escape rooms, getting them started takes a minute because you don't know exactly where to look because there's just so much to do.
Starting point is 00:07:14 And so the guy who was, who was, I guess, the DM for our escape room would put a little prompt in a screen that would appear in the room and it would, you know, give you a hint. And because it's a pirate thing, you go, bong, bong, and then a message. would appear. It'd be like, the captain should try to do this. And I'm like, oh, okay. Anyway, beat it with like seven or eight minutes left, felt really good about it. Realized at the end, the guy who was running the event, the escape room, as I'm leaving, he was like, it was so fun to see you in person and not just hear you on the internet.
Starting point is 00:07:52 And I realized he was a fan of this podcast. So he's probably listening right now. And I just want to say, for the record, you should have helped me more. I could have gotten 20 minutes left. If you would have just given me all the answers, then I could have been number one on the leaderboard. I thought we were friends is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:08:07 So that was very fun. Love that. Then I went to, and this is what I actually took notes for, because it was hilarious. Have you seen online on Instagram or TikTok or whatever? The people who go eat at Le Petit Chef. I've heard of it. Where like the little chef on your table makes you the food?
Starting point is 00:08:30 Yeah. No, I've seen that. Okay. So I found one that was basically a knockoff brand, which I knew I had to go to. And so the theme of Le Petit Chef is basically the little chef comes on and there's a projector on your table and they make you the food and it tells a little story. And then at the end, the food appears on your table, right? And it looks exactly like what the little. chef made.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Except in this one, it was basically a knockoff version, so the food they were making didn't look that good, and then the food we got served looked nothing like the food they had just made. Oh. It was great. I loved every minute of it. Everything was a surprise. There was one dish that was supposed to be a, like a sausage, crab noodle dish.
Starting point is 00:09:21 And what we got was a lobster ravioli with shrimp on it. it looks nothing at all like that kind of thing one was the steak dish and then what we got was less of a steak and more of like hamburger meat it was dude big fan i loved every minute of it it was every second was like what are we about to see now what is about to happen loved it hands down one of my favorite experiences it almost translates perfectly into when i went to the wedding um at the same time in telford which is where Coxcon was. There was a Coxcon meetup where a bunch of like 20 people went to go meet and hang out. I guess they do this every year, which by the way, awesome. And they invited me to come. And I was like, hell yes, I'll come. Had a blast. We drank a bunch. Weirdly, there was this bar that made amusement park themed drinks or I guess fairground themed drinks. And one of them was a plastic bag with booze in it. I don't know, I don't know what that means, but we drank out of a plastic bag.
Starting point is 00:10:29 It was great. But one day we went to a zoo. Now, you might say, Jesse, is there a zoo in Telford? Jesse, is there a zoo in Telford? Yes, Crenor. Yes, there is. And the zoo is less of a zoo and more of what animals could we get and claim it to zoo. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:52 So they had four otters. One capybara, five goats, three pigs, one frog, several bugs, they had some mere cats, and they had some ferrets, and like a whole section about dinosaurs, because I guess it's easy to get fossils. Either way, I loved it. I had so much fun, because it was basically, if I had the money, to make a zoo what I could afford a zoo to be. So that make any sense?
Starting point is 00:11:29 Like it wasn't, there clearly wasn't any zooological research happening at this facility. It was just like a zoo right next to an amusement park that was an off-brand amusement park where as we walked by, a man looked like Captain Hook, but couldn't legally be named Captain Hook. Yeah, he's like, General Hookington. Yes, yeah. I did not realize how much there was. to actually do in Telford in the vein of what I love. It wasn't, you know, expensive amusement parks.
Starting point is 00:12:01 It was dirt cheap, barely functioning, absolutely enjoyable, thematic themed spaces. That's like, thematic themed spaces is truly like the general amusement park type of vibe that you're talking about. yeah it wasn't like it it's you know how there's Disneyland and then there's six flags and everyone's like well six flags is kind of like the bogus Disney imagine lower than that yeah above parking lot fair but below six flags it's kind of the space we were operating in and honestly loved it just a big fan walked around got a ton of sun loved every moment of it got to you know pet animals and uh there was one ferret that was obsessed with me. So I stayed by their enclosure for like 45 minutes because it kept looking at me and getting closer and closer like we were about to be friends. And then when I'd move closer to it, it would freak out and run back and hide behind the thing and look at me. And then all the other ones would look at it. And then it would like start talking to them and then it would start getting closer to me. Like we had a moment. I thought we were
Starting point is 00:13:15 communicating. This is the type of thing you would create, which is why you love it so much if you were just like. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. I don't have. Yeah, I don't have the money to make an actual zoo, but I could make this zoo. Yeah. You know, like a zoo that takes you roughly 20 minutes to walk through if you were just walking. Yeah, and it would just be like animals that you just randomly found. Yeah, again, they had one horse. It was a pygmy horse.
Starting point is 00:13:41 I swear to God, its name was Dodger. That's pretty good. Yep. Big fan. Loved it. Was Dodger there as well, or was that after you were? Uh, that was, that was the day after I went to the wedding. So that was Sunday and the wedding was Saturday.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Um, yeah, I spent Saturday hanging out with Dodger. That was great. Uh, went to the wedding, had a good time. Uh, the Brits do love to drink. That is for sure. She and I were like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no. We have to like do stuff. We can't.
Starting point is 00:14:14 So, um, love that. But it was so funny because I realized something that Crendor, you're going to think this sounds crazy. All right. I think it is crazy. We went to the wedding. And they had this huge buffet of food. They also had like an amazing pizza station outside where these dudes were making pizza in like 800 degree ovens. Delicious.
Starting point is 00:14:34 But that's not the point. The point is that at the buffet there were this huge array of foods. But half, if not more than half, were cold. And I was like, huh. why is that like we're talking cold cheeseburger cold chicken nuggets cold like saute cold like sam like all these cold things and i'm like what the hell's that about so at the table because i'm an american and i have no filter i was like question what is that about like i've never seen this before and every single person was like oh no that's a british that's a british buffet
Starting point is 00:15:16 thing that's like a wedding thing what so they just like just have cold food Yes. Like they, it is, it is a known thing that, that if you go to a big event, they will just have like a great example, the chicken nuggets, the idea that it's not heated or put, you know, there's half the buffet was, was heated, right? They had like curry and they had like a, like a, you know, a chicken thing and rice. That was, that was heated. But next to it were unheeded finger foods that some of them perfectly fine, like, you know, like a little T-Sy. sandwiches or whatever, but a lot of it, again, was, you know, if you go to the grocery store and you go to the deli section and there's that stuff of like pre-made meatloafs and chicken and what that, imagine that whole case, but on the table, not cooked. Huh. And I was like, this makes, wait, so you just leave uncooked chicken, like, no, no, they were cooked before, so they're sanitary, but they're just not heated.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Uh, that's still It rings as bizarre It rings as weird And I was like, no, this isn't real So I asked every single person At that wedding I could talk to Whether that was a real thing in the UK And every single one of them confirmed
Starting point is 00:16:38 That is in fact a thing Man I don't like that Why can't they just like Make it cook something fresh I again, I don't know I guess it's tradition I'm sure we have our weird traditions
Starting point is 00:16:53 at weddings and whatnot It's a shitty tradition It almost feels like it dates back to like World War II times You know what I mean? A lot of British food Still has that We are under attack by the Germans vibe
Starting point is 00:17:08 Why don't they just start serving like military rations It's like those packets I have no answers I asked and everyone just said That's just the way it is No one gave me to fit in advance I'm sure somewhere someone knows the reason why
Starting point is 00:17:24 but yeah it was like there were little hamburgers but they were not like at one point they had been cooked clearly but when they were assembled the burger was cold yeah that's
Starting point is 00:17:38 I don't because you know here's the thing you also don't know when it was cooked it could have been cooked like days ago again no answers for you I don't like it they can do what they want
Starting point is 00:17:50 but you know what I don't like it Was that your main British trip stuff? Was the cold food, the weird petting zoo, and then alcohol in a bag? That also said, shout out to Tesco. They have these rice crackers that are sweet chili. They're like a pound 50. Delicious. I only ever see them in the UK.
Starting point is 00:18:13 I went online when I got back and was like, I wonder if Amazon has these. They want to charge you $25 for five packs. No, dude. I was like, I'll just wait till next time I'm over there And I'll just bring some back But those things are lifesavers They're like, I think it's like 160 calories For a fourth of the pack
Starting point is 00:18:32 I was like, yeah, this is the good stuff They're delicious, big fan Ugh Tesco was pretty good I remember going there It was like a Better store than the American one Yeah, there's a lot of
Starting point is 00:18:50 There's a lot of that When you go to the different stores Like a Greggs or whatever There's so many Additional things that the grocery stores have That we don't have here Which is weird But there's also things missing
Starting point is 00:19:06 That I'm like Oh, they don't have this, this or this What? It can't even be a grocery store It's a weird vibe What we've chosen versus what they've chosen To focus on Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:19:18 But again, cultural Like, going back to the not hot food, I know many people that swear by eating like a Greg's, I don't know, like a something wrap or a bake or whatever. And they don't care if it's hot or not. Like they'll go later in the day and eat like a sausage something. And it will just be having sat there all day and they're totally fine with it. Yeah, that's, I mean, there are people like that here too. like a gas station, be like, nah, here's the good stuff,
Starting point is 00:19:53 pick up a hot dog's been rolling in there all day. Yeah, maybe we're the problem. Maybe we're like a little too hoity-toity about our food choices. I disagree. I think that's a good thing to be, you know, questionable about things that can give you,
Starting point is 00:20:08 you know, food poisoning versus not. I'd say that's probably worth being cautious over. Admittedly, most of my sushi consumption comes from the grocery store, so. I don't trust grocery store sushi Unless it's like a good grocery store
Starting point is 00:20:23 Where you're like, okay, I know they're making good stuff here Otherwise, I'd rather just go to a place Pavilions here in L.A., maybe twice a week I'll go get grocery store sushi Admittedly though, 90% of the time it's veggie sushi Which is barely sushi Yeah, that's just It's like vegetables wrapped in rice and seaweed
Starting point is 00:20:40 Yeah, which I love. It's very good. Yeah, no, that's fine. I have to bring something up Uh-oh, yes So as we know We have the old channels The too old for this And the almost too old for this
Starting point is 00:21:02 Although the last episode You were definitely still too old for it I was very much too old for that That was the first time I truly did feel too old Same big same I hated it Hated it And I wanted to talk about it because it really gave me the like reality TV HG TV vibe but like somehow
Starting point is 00:21:24 worse and I think it's just because it's like YouTuber like directed towards kids like when you watch HG TV or something it's really quickly explain which episode you're talking about okay so this is from the dark side of secret rooms too old for his name Ben Azalart alright and
Starting point is 00:21:51 this is if you look up Ben Azalart all right that's just you can just browse around you'll discover what this is very quickly you'll discover that he is significantly more popular than both Crendor and I combined
Starting point is 00:22:05 yes he's also 23 so yep and the the reason I say for a lot of this popularity is, he's pretty much doing the Mr. Beast method, which is like trying to do the most crazy shit, but with like really high production value and like scripted content that kids don't think is scripted. So, like for example, in this thing, you go watch it, but like in this thing, he's just like, we're going to build a secret room in a YouTuber house. instantly, I was like, number one, no normal person would, like, not be able to realize someone's in their house.
Starting point is 00:22:50 But I was like, these are YouTubers, so they're millionaires, so they have massive houses. So, okay, I get it. Then, they don't even build it in the house. They build it in the backyard. All right? He's like, oh, we'll build it under the trampoline. Like, who has a built-in ground trampoline, first off? YouTubers.
Starting point is 00:23:09 And then the fact that they can, like, lift up the trampoline. and then go underneath it is just insane. But then, that's not even the worst part. Like, okay, cool, you can do that. He's like, we're to build a secret room down here. They just, like, put a TV that's playing Fortnite and, like,
Starting point is 00:23:27 a pillow, and, like, some blankets down there or something. And then the YouTuber dad comes home, who, that's an entirely different story. And he's just like, you know what I feel like doing? Watering the trampoline today. Like, okay.
Starting point is 00:23:42 It's insane that he's, He's like, oh, no, he's going to water the yard. First off, what? But second off, all he's doing is spraying water on the trampoline. So it's like, okay, so he knows they're there and this is for a goof. Yeah, 100%. You think this man waters his own yard? Definitely not.
Starting point is 00:23:58 They're paying somebody. So, yeah, it was just, but like if you're a kid, you're probably like, oh my God, because you don't know anything. You're a kid, all right? So, like, I get it. But it's just, it really does have that, they took reality TV and they're like, what if we made it on YouTube for kids is like what they did.
Starting point is 00:24:17 The way that they did it is even more insane than that. So, you know, taking reality TV shows, there's two types. There's the home renovation show. And then there's the home renovation show plus challenge. So, you know, you're watching one.
Starting point is 00:24:31 And they're like, oh, yeah, we're going to, you know, build a secret room. That's so much fun. And then you watch another one. It's like, we have 24 hours to build this secret room before they get back. This is, we're going to build a secret room in 10 minutes. Yeah. That's impossible.
Starting point is 00:24:47 It is impossible, yeah. Based on the shooting and logistics alone, they've set up a fake scenario that is impossible. And so you're like, okay. And then again, the room they create, like Crendo was saying, isn't a room, they just live in a cave underneath the trampoline and then throw pillows in there and bring in TVs and hot plates that need extension cords. So how on earth is it a secret?
Starting point is 00:25:13 Stupidest thing I've ever seen. Yeah. Yeah, it is. And I mean, if you, if you're like, what is the audience for this? Like, it is children. Like, that is the audience. The editing is so specifically for children.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Yeah. And I mean, you can, you can also just go to the comment section and you will, you can tell the age. It's just either, it's either bots or kids. All right, it's one or the other. There's many emojis, people like, like this one.
Starting point is 00:25:48 He said, I built a secret zoo in my house, all right? And it's just like, I love animals, heart, heart, heart. I like rabbits because they are cute and tame, bunny heart. Suitable to be kept because they are tame and cute. Like, okay, that's a bot. That's not even a person. I love animals. YouTuber, love you.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Ben Azalart, love you. My favorite animal is wolf. Ben I love you so much Like this is literally like 10 year olds And that's Here's the thing is like It's fine to make content for kids
Starting point is 00:26:22 And to have kids watching your stuff The thing that I think is that I personally dislike Is watching both Ben's videos And the family that he's at I already forgot his name The guy who had a crown in a shot And has 30 some million subscribers Um
Starting point is 00:26:41 It's like a Jason Derulo or whatever the hell's name was whatever. Both of them used to make normal content. And then
Starting point is 00:26:54 roughly seven years ago in both cases when the algorithm changed on everyone, they switched their content up. And very, I'm not going to say slowly, but relatively
Starting point is 00:27:06 in a way that almost seems like, you know, getting boiled alive, they slowly. slowly started to morph into Mr. Beasts, like you were saying, where Ben, all of his content became very, we're to do every video. It was the biggest, craziest thing you've ever seen. And then the other guy, his content, went from taking photographs of people dancing or whatever to all of his stuff became about his daughter, which is very creepy. Yeah. That was weird. And he really, it's videos like, my daughter's in love with the boy. Like, wait, what? Yeah. Why are you making videos of this?
Starting point is 00:27:45 Yeah, and then he was filming girls eating food with their feet, which like, that's, you know, the entire reaction. You had a visceral, like, the look on your face when you saw that woman to eat with their feet was hilarious. It's because, okay, I would just, you know the people that are going to that video to watch that. Sure, yes, of course. Because it's like, it's not like, like sure, there's probably, you know, young, people like well okay but there's like 50 year old men that are like I love watching her eat with her feet shit like that which like if that's why I'm like I would never allow my child to do
Starting point is 00:28:22 that but it's like some people might just be like oh whatever but like knowing the internet having been on the internet my entire life I'm just like I would never allow that ever I would and I would never do that I would be like I'm gonna get put on a list for filming this but apparently not you're just gonna get millions of subscribers that's what's so crazy about it It isn't just like they have a million views on the videos. These two channels that are focused on this episode, each of their videos has 20, 30, 80, 100 million views. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Like this isn't even on the same level as the gaming space of YouTube. Like the biggest gaming YouTubers pull a million, maybe two million views a video. We're talking 80 million. Alien, like that's TV stations dream of those numbers. Yeah, seriously. That's crazy. So they're obviously doing YouTube correctly.
Starting point is 00:29:23 They've clearly figured everything out. But it just does not sit well with me at all. It makes me really think about YouTube as a whole and what it actually is sending out. Yeah. Yeah, it's, and it's like you said, the algorithm change. but I almost think it didn't change. I think people has figured it out. So, I mean, the whole point of it is that it figures out what you enjoy watching
Starting point is 00:29:48 and then it gives you more of that. But it also kind of favors longer videos. Like, dude, some of these videos are like four hours long this guy's making. Yeah, the one that I watched trying to figure out like what his vibe was. He built 50 rooms in his home four hours long. And again, premise-wise, 50 rooms in your home that are secret to me, like, yo, that's cool. I'd love to see this. Yeah. But content
Starting point is 00:30:15 wise, it is unwatchable for me as an adult. I just can't do it. Yeah. It's because it's not made for you as well. Exactly. Right. It's clearly made for an audience that has a three second attention span.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Yeah. It's very like, what's going on? I'm going to hit the wall. Don't hit the wall. What? Like, what do we build it in the refrigerator? And she's like, my dad gets food from there. Like, oh my God. The fact that during the 50, you know, Secret Rooms video, one of the guys goes, maybe he could build the sink. And he sprays water on his face. And you're like, what do you mean you could build a secret room of the sink?
Starting point is 00:30:51 What do you mean by that? Yeah. It's just like those types of like silly wacky goops that when you're like Penn, you're like, do ho ho ho. He did the thing. Yeah. You're like, no, no you. In the sink, dude? What do you?
Starting point is 00:31:10 Like, it's just. You immediately come off as playing it being stupid, which is even worse than being stupid. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. It is because like, I mean, that's the thing. It's like any type of like goofy kid show type of thing where they're just like, go-huh. But it's, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Like, again, I get it, but I hate it. Right. Thanks the big thing. I can't hate their game, but I do not enjoy their content. and I think it's absolute trash. But again, it's not for us, clearly. We're not part of the... We are the minority.
Starting point is 00:31:51 And when I mean minority, I mean small minority who have seen his content and been like, I don't like it. Yeah. But what I did also watch was I was watching diners, drive-ins, and dives. Yo, shout out to Guy.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Yeah, because that was on. I renewed my YouTube TV after months of not having it because football's back. So I always got the Sunday ticket for my football. And so I was like, oh, this is on. So I clicked that. And dude, it's been around so long. I forget how long this show has been on. He's like, 10 years ago, we went to this place and their mom was working there.
Starting point is 00:32:32 And now the kids are working there. And I was like, dude, holy shit. They've got generational diners drive-ins and dives now. Yeah, his son is on the show of. bunch. And there are episodes when his son was like a wee baby kid. Yeah. Like I forget how long this show has existed. It's existed as long as it existed before we had widescreen TVs. Oh my God. Yeah, you're right. Like the format of the show is four by three for a lot of those early seasons. Yeah, when did it start? It started. 2007? Oh my God. He um, he was a contestant. I think
Starting point is 00:33:10 on like the next chef. Yeah, the Food Network star. Yeah, and then they gave him that show and now he's been doing it for almost 20 years. I remember because he won, I remember my mom was watching it. We were on vacation in like 2005 or four or something. And my mom was like, I'm watching the Food Network. And I was like, okay, and they had their first season of that. And I remember it was guy versus somebody else. And I was like, I hope he wins. He's like a wacky barbecue man or something I remember what he did and then I was like that's cool
Starting point is 00:33:46 and then I remember they did it's like one of those Rachel Ray type shows where they just had him like guys 30 minutes meals or whatever was called yeah yeah and he's just like and uh here's how you make it everyone was like that's okay and then as soon as he just did diners drive ins and dives people were like
Starting point is 00:34:04 holy shit this is conceptually it is you know bottom of the barrel TV but in reality people enjoy watching people travel the country and check out different food from weird places yeah
Starting point is 00:34:19 and it's not like I went to frou frou in this fancy restaurant but like no no no he went to Phil's big eat in Montana anyone can go there and it's affordable to like in a huge audience and so you get to see food that one you could go by
Starting point is 00:34:38 and two is really good it's that simple and it's a brilliant formula and I always thought people giving guy a hard time because all he does is eat on camera they're like oh look at him this fat guy's eating I'm like no dude that guy is literally the voice of a generation I think that is that is part is like everything he eats is something it's like something you can go to if you're like oh he went to a place near me I'd go eat there and like afford it and check it out yeah it really is that there's there's a place he went to in in la in grand central market that made a uh like a shrimp burger right yeah i saw it went down there got it delicious COVID killed that restaurant or
Starting point is 00:35:21 I guess he moved I don't know what happened but uh yeah it's not there anymore but like I'm glad I got to go experience it because it was as good as it looked on TV yeah it's it's honestly like one of the best I think reality TV ideas of all time. Yeah, it's not pretentious, it's not fake, there's nothing made up in it, he just goes to a place. They edit it like,
Starting point is 00:35:46 it's insanely paced. Like, there's, the edits are all under 10 seconds. Yeah. But that's because they have to make the idea of a person cooking something hyper-interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:58 It's, and you get to, I think the good part about it is like a lot of times, he's not even eating just like hamburgers all the time. It's just like some shack place, kind of like the San Antonio one we went to, or it's just like they make real food, but it's, you couldn't tell. You're just like,
Starting point is 00:36:17 whoa, I can't believe that came out of there. And he's just very, he comes off as very kind. I obviously don't know the person in real life. Yeah. But like on the show, he comes off as being very kind and appreciative of every place he goes. Yeah. And I think that says a lot. And it's like, okay, I understand why people want to, like, I'll just sometimes make dinner and it'll be on the background. Yeah, it is good background TV. It's perfect background TV. It's, um, yeah, so I was watching that.
Starting point is 00:36:48 And then there was also an MTV classic, which MTV Classic, let me tell you, at least the, I don't know, one on YouTube TV, they play like some of the weirdest songs. They're like, because you'll think like, oh, they're going to play like some songs like the, but like some of them I've like never heard of
Starting point is 00:37:09 they would just play like random 90s rap I've never heard of they would play like some 70s song that was just like what and then like another 80s song from a band I never heard I was like these truly are like the B-side classics they're rolling out here
Starting point is 00:37:25 and then they'd play like 20 minutes of ads and I was like all right that sounds very on YouTube TV but they play 20 minutes like commercials yikes yeah but that was that
Starting point is 00:37:38 like a lot of times when you watch the like lesser viewed TV channels they play so many ads because it's like nobody's watching it so they have to pump it to keep the channel to get going. Sure yeah so I mean it was fun for a bit and then I was like all right I'm done with this
Starting point is 00:37:55 but let's see overall you know it's television oh speaking of television I must stress as a person who has finally completed all of Hell's Kitchen I'm done
Starting point is 00:38:09 I went back while I was out of town and started watching through the new season 22 they just released on the YouTube channel I must stress I don't know if
Starting point is 00:38:22 experiencing it in reverse and experiencing the first couple seasons which are genuinely awful season 22 not only is the best season but also as the most mature adult except for one chef
Starting point is 00:38:36 who's up his own butt, but like everyone else, it is wild. And I don't know if it's just a sign of millennials or in this case, some Gen Z who have like learned to express their feelings like adults or I don't know what's good, but like the positivity is next level. There's chefs that are like, if you watch Hell's Kitchen, you know that they just backstab and they treat each other like crap and that's just how it works. In season 22, they're like, we're a team, and we're going to do this together.
Starting point is 00:39:11 And like, whoever chef picks, that's who chef picks. But we're like in the, and they hype each other up and they like, it's crazy, dude. I love this season. It's actually really good. Huh. Look at that. Positive Hell's Kitchen. It's, even Gordon seems a little positive because you know how he always screams about how no one communicates?
Starting point is 00:39:35 Yep. That, for the last half of the season, every chef is talking in the kitchen. Like, you got three minutes, I got three minutes. They're all in. It's shocking, because I don't think I've ever seen a season like that. Maybe the positivity is just rubbing off on the hymn from everyone else. I think so. I think because they're not trash.
Starting point is 00:39:58 He has like a lot of really good chefs. And on the blue team especially, there's so, like, every dude is coming. in guns blazing. On the red kitchen, there's several women who are absolutely some of the best chess I've ever seen. And there's all working together and talking.
Starting point is 00:40:19 It is mind blowing to me that no other season could figure that out. Well, maybe they just they're like, you need drama, you need like all this, but then they're like, maybe we'll mix it up and then they found it works. I genuinely
Starting point is 00:40:34 think maybe the editing, maybe the producers change the way they did this? Because admittedly, this season has the lame first episode of like, the American dream. These 20 chefs are following their American dream. It has like an American dream theme. So I think they were like, well, we have to make a little more positive because we're doing that as a theme. Oh, yeah. With that said, I enjoy it more.
Starting point is 00:41:00 I enjoy it so much more than like the fake drama they would have. Like it's actually more enjoyable to watch chefs. good at cooking rather than chefs backstab each other and try to win a competition. It's also just extremely overdone at this point. Like people that's been happening for decades. So literally 22 seasons. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:21 It's insane. It's, uh, that's why you should always just be like, hey, what if I got, what if I mix up what I do? What if we try something a little different, something little new? Yeah. If it works great. If not, whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Uh, which is actually, funny. There's a, I forgot I wrote down, there's this girl because like school's starting up and she was like at the grocery store their mom and they're like getting into the car and then the mom's like, you need, that's right,
Starting point is 00:41:50 you should question everything. And then she was like, I'm going to question school so that I don't have to go to school. And she was like, that's not how it works. You got to go to school to question stuff. And she was like, that's dumb. And that was their conversation I heard. But I was like, you know what? I think she's on to something.
Starting point is 00:42:06 That is dumb. I would often tell my students to question everything I told them. Yeah. And I was like, if you have a question and I can't significantly answer it, it's on me to then figure out the reason for you. Yeah. And for that mom, I would simply say that she should have been prepared to be like, these are the reasons why you should be in school.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Yeah. Because I always hated that. I hated when I was like, why are we learning this? and people be like, because you have to or because I learned it, now you learn it. It's like, that's not a good reason. Like, at least figure something out that kind of sounds right.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Like, oh, well, you know, you're going to have to, you know, figure out different mathematical things when you go to a restaurant or when you are doing this thing, like anything, like literally anything. Yeah, absolutely. When I was young, we were told
Starting point is 00:43:01 we're not going to have a calculator in your pocket so you're going to need to learn this type of math. And at the time, sure, valid. Now, you couldn't tell that to a kid. Yeah. So either you figure out a new way to explain it, or you start teaching with the idea of them having a phone in their pocket. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:21 Which, honestly, isn't even that bad of an idea, because it's like adaptability in a way. Like, you're changing the learning process, but, like, everybody's going to be like that now, so it's probably worth adapting. Yeah, it's a tool. Humanity is literally, we became the apex species on this planet by using tools. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:43 So that's like how we roll. So if you can teach people to use tools, it makes perfect sense. So I would definitely be like, one, we're going to teach you how to use your phone for a calculator or whatever. But also, I'd include lessons in other classes that are like, hey, here's how to tell what is real and fake on your phone. here's how to not get your weird photos out on the internet here's that like I would teach also things that are like alright if you're gonna have a phone on you here's some things just don't do this don't be stupid
Starting point is 00:44:12 yeah no that would be uh I mean that's like how they they never had classes about it's like basic stuff like how to how to pay your taxes I mean that was home economics until they got rid of that well that's yeah I think that's part of it they did and then they got rid of it. Or they just made it an elective type of thing.
Starting point is 00:44:33 But I feel like that's something that should be mandatory. Yeah, Homek was, I love that class. Not only did I learn to cook, some basic stuff. I'm not a chef. I learned to cook some basic stuff. I learned to sew so I can repair things. I learned to balance checkbooks. I learn basic economics.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Like, I know how to do stuff because of that class to this day. Yeah. It's, uh, and I think people, People and like kids in general also want to learn that type of stuff because they know it's things that they have to learn or that it'll be practically applied. Woodworking's great. That's awesome. But that class really should have been home repair. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:17 It really should have been like how to fix a pipe. How to, you know, if you want to use a buzzsaw on something, sure, you can do that. But then how do you use that to fix your house? It should be things like that. But we don't have that anymore. We still have woodworking classes, but it's like build a. bird house. That's not helpful?
Starting point is 00:45:33 Yeah. Well, it's helpful for the birds. I guess you're right. Birds have more homes than us now. That's the problem. That's true. They do. Unless the squirrels get in there, take them over.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Damn. Damn. So yeah. Overall, I don't know what's going on out there. But what I do know is I tried the Taco Boat Taco Boat. Midnight Baja Blast and I didn't like it.
Starting point is 00:46:04 It's a little too syrupy. It's a little too serapy. I like normal Baja blast, but it has a little more... I love normal Baja Blast. Agreed. Love normal Baja Blast. It's got that like crisp
Starting point is 00:46:14 feel. Like it says like a sprite, like a refreshing type of drink. And then this one, yeah. I must stress for the record, they sell Baja Blast in like cans and in bottles or whatever. Not as good as from Taco Bell Baja Blast.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Yeah, it has to be from. It has to be, yeah, agree, agree, okay. Yeah, and so I got this one. Everybody's like, you gotta try it. It is a little more syrupy, and it also has like that grape aftertaste, but it's not even that strong. It's like a very light hint of grape or like some sort of weird grape at the end. And I'm like, I'd rather just drink normal Baja Blas.
Starting point is 00:46:52 It's okay. Yeah, it's not great. It's not, it, I think you're right on the money. There's something about Baha Blah. This is such a weird topic. There's something about Baja Blast that is significantly more refreshing than Mountain Dew. Yeah. And significantly more flavorful than the midnight blast.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Yeah, it is. Maybe it's like the lemony lime. Maybe it's the carbonation. I don't know. I have no idea what it is. Perfect fountain drink. It truly is. I heard that they actually invented Baja Blast for Taco Bell, like to go with Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Same thing I think with how they have like a special mix of Sprite at McDonald's. Oh yeah, you're right. Which is why the McDonald's Sprite always tastes so much better than normal Sprite.
Starting point is 00:47:42 Yeah. Damn, it was like, they got like soda soda tears or whatever at a restaurant. Because I, you know what? They also do different
Starting point is 00:47:53 like syrup levels and everything at different places. Yeah, they also, you know, it's also how much carbonated water are you putting in it? There's all sorts of different factors. Like when you, having worked at McDonald's, you would go in the back and you'd hook up the machine.
Starting point is 00:48:06 And they have systems back there. Those are like actual legit pumping systems that people have to go in and change settings on. And I'm sure that's the case in most restaurants where you have like a, you know, a fountain drink system. So yeah, I guess everyone has their own sort of mix. Yeah, which I think is pretty cool. Sure. Some of it's terrible, though. Some of it is terrible.
Starting point is 00:48:32 That's also true. It's either way too surpy or has this, you're basically drinking like, you know, sparkly water with a little bit of flavoring in it. Yeah, they water it down a lot. So, yeah, I don't know why I brought that up. But there we go. But you know what else is good to bring up? if you're looking for a way to spice up your tabletop sessions or simply bring your favorite character to life hero forge is here for you with ever updating ways to create like the face customizer which offers extensive selection of editable areas like the scalp the eyebrows the nose the jawline and more not to mention all the sliders and control panels and various presets you can fine tune every aspect of your minnie's face from age to expression.

All right, let's go to Jop's get on the guy with the Crenor, how's that traffic out there. Oh my God, the traffic. I can't, there's, I'm spinning around in the chapter, copter right now,
Starting point is 00:50:43 the traffic's so crazy. Oh man, I'm just looking over here, looking over there. Whoa, it's getting wacky. Um, oh wait, no, we're, slowly stopping the spinning it's actually it's actually just normal traffic
Starting point is 00:50:58 it just it looked like a lot because we were spinning around back to you all right let's go to weather oh weather land scrona Sweden the small city is pretty much built around one big
Starting point is 00:51:15 citadel surrounded by rivers as well as settled near the beach and sea reaching all the way out to Borchstahus that serves really good seafood. It's mainly a harbor city, one of the most important ones with the Urisund Sea between Sweden and Denmark. You can also see the infamous Orsinsbro from our beach.
Starting point is 00:51:37 We have a lot of citadels lately. Oh, yeah, I guess we do. It's 61 degrees, Fahrenheit. Feels like 61. Humidity, 79% pressure, 30.1. Inches. Visibility, 10 miles, 540. 4 a.m. Sunrise, 8.39 p.m. sunset. Wins at 6 miles per hour. Due point 55. U.V. Index 0. Moon phase. Waning Crescent.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Look at the 10-day Monday 76 and sunny Tuesday 72 sunny Wednesday 70 partly cloudy Thursday 64 partly cloudy Friday 65 partly cloudy Saturday 64 Partly cloudy Sunday 66 partly cloudy Monday 68 partly cloudy Tuesday 70 partly cloudy Wednesday 69 nice with AM showers
Starting point is 00:52:26 Are you sure I feel like we've done so many Citadel cities that this point it feels like we almost already did this place because everything is ringing the same let's see uh because i look around i see there's an there's an l.a burgers which i looks exactly like the the the i swear to god we've done this place uh let's see have we i do remember in la burgers unless that's just like a and the image is the exact same. Again,
Starting point is 00:53:05 this might be the first time we double-dipped a weather place. Have we done this? Dude, the burger, it's like served on that wood slab with the potato underneath and the steak is on top of it. I mean, I do remember L.A. Burgers.
Starting point is 00:53:21 That's what I'm saying. But I don't know if that's just like a, there could be a Sweden thing, and we did a different Swedish place. I'm saying. I'm losing my mind. I'm losing my mind right now. I feel. feel like we've done this before like I remember that in the
Starting point is 00:53:36 Citadel there was a cafe and I'm looking at a little cafe called Smortaxon and it looks like the place where you have a party at night and they have drinks dude I think we did this city have we done this city
Starting point is 00:53:52 I do kind of I think out of all the the weather requests you just picked one we've already done it's not what we've already done because it 100% is It must be. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:54:05 All right. I'm going to figure this out. Okay? It wouldn't have been that long ago. I'm looking at it right now. It's the same drinks, the same everything. Hold on. I'm gonna,
Starting point is 00:54:17 hold on, I'm gonna go back. You would think I wouldn't recognize a city by the food, but I'm telling you it's my one true calling. Okay, hold on. Someone always puts the city in the comments. It's all right. I'm going to click.
Starting point is 00:54:32 through the last few ones we had. Okay, England. No, okay, then we had, because I don't think it would be that long ago. I kind of remember something like this. Okay, we had France, okay, we had, uh, Pretzel City, we had San Jose, we had, what is this one, Victoria, British Columbia. Dude, unless I lived another life, in which case we already did this, and now I'm stuck in some sort of groundhog day, we're doing the exact same thing over again. We've done this before. No, I kind of, I remember something similar to this, and I remember the L.A. Burgers, but I'm still... It literally was the last episode. What? The last episode.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Two weeks ago, weather 41-48 Lensgrona, Sweden. Crendor. Crenor. My dude. Oh my God. Well, I mean, like it's already, we did it. It's already happening. Well, no, we can't do it again.
Starting point is 00:55:49 It hurts to laugh. My whole chest is on fire. All right. Oh, God. There is. All right. You know what? We're doing Spain.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Rubel Caba. We're going to Spain, Rubel Caba, because somebody gave me 2,000 bits to do the weather for Spain, Rubel Caba for this episode. I said, no, we got to do the lottery. But now I did the lottery, and this shit happened. So I'm just doing this, because they gave me bits. All right. For Spain, Rubele Caba, the weather is 67 degree. Wow, it's like the same. Uh, wait. Is this Celsius? Oh, they're doing Celsius. Get that out of here. It's 70 degrees, thunder in the vicinity, humidity, 94%, 30.08 inches, 6 mile visibility, 4 mile an hour winds, 68 dewpoint, 0 of 11 UV, and a waning crescent moon, 722 sunrise, and a 2114 sunset. They got that military time. 10 day. 70 with showers on Monday, 70 with showers Tuesday, 70 with rain Wednesday, 70 with rain Thursday, 70 with rain Thursday, Friday, Friday with rain Thursday, Friday, Friday. Saturday, 74, partly cloudy. That's Saturday, 79, mostly sunny, Sunday, 79, partly cloudy, and Monday, 81, partly cloudy in Rubel Caba, Spain, or Rubel Caba. Yeah, Rubel Caba. That's how you say it. For the record, this place is up in the mountains. Yeah. There's barely anything around. But the few restaurants I have found, dude, Surveizas de Gaulle.
Starting point is 00:57:31 4.9 brew pub click on that real quick that the meat looks delicious that is barely a restaurant it is benches and a roof and it the food looks amazing it does
Starting point is 00:57:49 what the heck like saviche they got delicious desserts they have all these beers straight up just bowls of cheese dude this is exactly where I would want to eat this is the most Jesse restaurant I've ever seen. This really is.
Starting point is 00:58:05 It looks so good. My goodness. And then in the town nearby, which I assume is the main focus. Yeah, I think so. Casa Cantola, which just looks like a dude's house. It really does, yeah. It's just an actual old house. It's just, yeah, it just looks like a house.
Starting point is 00:58:30 but they have a little market inside but it's not even a restaurant I don't even know what you would call that yeah what is that it's straight up like one of those old-timey like Italian Spanish shacks with the you know the roofs or everything like oh yeah
Starting point is 00:58:48 oh I love it oh that's so it's wonderful all the little restaurants nearby just look like cafes where you sit outside and you watch the world go by. Piano bar. They got a Mexican canteena, which I think is very funny for Spain.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Yeah. That's great. Oh, they also said it's a habitational origin. It's where my family originates from and my last name. That's pretty cool. I believe that. This definitely has the vibe of like, people wanted to get out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Like, it is, it is, there's not much around. But the things that are there, I'm very impressed. But this is a place that if I was there for more than two days, I'd lose my mind. Oh yeah, 100%. I would, I would definitely lose my mind here too, having to eat it like L. whiskeys or drink at L. whiskeys. Yeah, like I could do that for a day. I'd have a great time, but I would need to keep going.
Starting point is 00:59:57 Like, I would need to, you know, it is. in the far north of Spain too, which is a completely different vibe. I've never even thought about the far north of Spain. Yeah, I don't think many people do, because then there's what's that sandpander up there? Santhander?
Starting point is 01:00:14 Yeah, I've never even heard of that. Yeah. That's pretty cool. That is very cool. Well, I'm glad we got to do two weather things today. And that's the weather. All right, let's go to sports. Sports.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Over at sports. Here is sports. Sports. Sports. Let's see. We got baseball standings. Blue Jays in first. Tigers in first.
Starting point is 01:00:44 Astros in first. Phillies in first. Brewers in first. And the Dodgers in first. Milwaukee Brewers have also won 14 games in a row, which is pretty insane. then we've got the football preseason going on right now that's been something
Starting point is 01:01:08 I mean preseason is just preseason it's whatever whatever and then let's see what else is there any other sport happening we got the WNBA occurring the aces are beating the wings currently we've also got let's see the the US their PGA Tour
Starting point is 01:01:29 BMW Championship with Sheffler at minus 14 winning currently with McIntyre right behind and the Little League Baseball World Series is happening as well
Starting point is 01:01:42 where Bonnie Lake Honolulu Chihuahua and Vancouver have all won their games and that's sports okay yeah reminder
Starting point is 01:01:54 next year that good Olympics is coming get ready brace yourself it was winter Olympics I'm ready I've never been more ready oh by the way I was watching a British TV show which was a game show because that's 90% of what's on TV there
Starting point is 01:02:11 and one of the things one of the questions in order to win is you had to name 10 recent summer Olympics and I knew almost all of them because in the episode before we literally went through all the mask up Oh yeah, that's right. Somehow it lined up perfectly.
Starting point is 01:02:27 I felt really good about myself. That was good. Look at that. Our show is finally proved useful in a useless way. Yep, which is most of what we do. All right. What's our fact of the day? Fact of the day.
Starting point is 01:02:49 Let's see. Oh, this is a wacky one. If the Earth doubled in size, trees would immediately fall over. Like, in an instant double in size? Or if it just was, there would be no trees? Uh, that's a good question. It says this is because surface... Because I imagine the gravity would make a huge difference.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Yeah, it says surface gravity would be doubled. It would also mean dog size and larger animals would not be able to run without breaking a leg. Well, I would imagine that... taking into account for evolution, it would have worked itself out centuries ago. Yeah, that's true. You know what I mean? Like, there would just be bigger things.
Starting point is 01:03:33 Yeah. Or muscle masses would be different, or our bone densities would be different. Like, if they're saying it happened today, yeah, we'd all be screwed. Yeah. It's, uh, it is weird to think how just the size of the planet
Starting point is 01:03:47 and stuff like that would impact literally everything, whether it's like bigger or smaller. Oh yeah, I love the, um, those videos where people are like, what if the earth stopped rotating right now? And I'm like, that'd be terrible. That'd be the worst thing to ever happen. Yeah. We would all instantly die.
Starting point is 01:04:03 Everything would die. Buildings would fall over. The ocean would, would tidal wave us. Human beings would go flying through the air. Like, it would just be the worst. Yeah. No, that'd be pretty bad. That's your fact of the day.
Starting point is 01:04:19 Oh. right? Who has come to us with tears in their eyes? We've got people with tears. Dear illustrious sirs, with the last fresh bagel as tribute, I ask of thee, if you were told
Starting point is 01:04:35 your life is being turned into a video game, pick the genre, which genre would you pick? Ooh, RPG. That's easy. Oh yeah, I guess you probably would just pick an RPG. Yeah, RPG. like I can't even pretend and try to be silly about it
Starting point is 01:04:52 RPG makes the most sense and really anything I do you could consider it leveling up you know like and then that's just age the one to one's pretty good yeah that is true I would I would probably be
Starting point is 01:05:07 a rogue like RNG strategy game 100% I would have preferred a football manager style game where you try to manage your life? Like, it's you, and it's your day-to-day life, but there's an entire team in your head
Starting point is 01:05:27 trying to manage everything you do, but it's just you. I see, yeah, I mean, that is kind of fun. It's almost like a Sims-esque type of management system. And the fun part is, is it can be a roguelight because each day is a new experience.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Oh, yeah, I guess that's true. I mean, yeah, it would be a roguelike as well. And you gain knowledge based on what you. did the day before to influence the next day. Yeah, and there would still be percentage chances of just like failures. Yeah. And successes be like, whoa. Yeah, you know what?
Starting point is 01:05:59 That's actually a pretty good one. Um... So there you go, that's that one. Okay. Then, Dear Lustrous sirs, I come before you with tears in my eyes and a non-alcoholic apple vodka in my toilet. If you could domesticate any animal to be a pet, one animal would you choose? And how different would it be from its wild count?
Starting point is 01:06:18 part, like how dogs and wolves differ? I would domesticate like a condor. Oh, yeah. And the difference is that domesticated condors can fly you around. Like the, uh, that one movie with the giant guy flying. Yeah, he hooks onto my shoulders and he just takes off and we go. That would be pretty cool. That would be very cool.
Starting point is 01:06:42 Yeah. I would, I'd have like a Komodo dragon or something. Equally good because you could ride those. Yeah, like a big one, you like ride around the saddle. Basically what we're saying is we need more animals domesticated so that we can in some way use them to travel. Yeah, these people used horses, right? Yeah, like a dolphin, put a saddle on that bad boy and let's go.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Yeah, maybe if there was like a really big snake, probably right on that really slowly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, there's probably some plenty of cool ride a plant. What we're saying is the mounts that we've been collecting in video games for 20 years we want in real life. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Yep. There we go. That's the Dara's lost three of sers. Okay. What is our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day. Oh, I just thought, what about kangaroos?
Starting point is 01:07:47 That'd be a good one. Like a hop around If we can domesticate them So you get in the pouch Oh yeah There you go That's a winner Here we go
Starting point is 01:07:56 Seattle NHL team's mascot Has close call With grizzly bear During video shoot The Crackin Yep Wait what
Starting point is 01:08:08 Hold on Is there an image of this Uh yes Hold on Here you go All right First off Whatever that is, it's not the Krakken.
Starting point is 01:08:19 I don't know what the hell that's like, I thought it was supposed to be a Cracken. What do you? It says Seattle Cracken forward John Hayden and the team's blue-haired troll mascot had a close call and a grizzly bear. Why is it a troll? Yeah, I don't know why they have a troll.
Starting point is 01:08:36 That's weird, but okay. That is pretty dumb. Why didn't, they could have a Cracken mascot. How do you not have a cracking mask? Yeah, Crackin would have scared the crap out of that bear. Whatever the hell that thing, that's bear food. Yeah. During a video shoot in Alaska, Hayden and the mascot named Bowie were on a fly fishing outing in Cat May, Catmai National Park as part of a trip promoting youth hockey when the bear approached.
Starting point is 01:09:01 Video released by the team shows knee deep in a shallow river. They wore waiters into other fly fishing gear. Hayden had been fishing, but a guide quickly took the rod from him. The bear charged towards the mascot splashing water, but turned away before making contact as Hayden, Booie. and the film crew walk back to the shore waiting through gentle stream. So the bear just like charged. Then he was like, you know what?
Starting point is 01:09:23 This mascot sucks. And he just like walked out. Yeah, the video, literally that bear is after them. And then it's like, no, it's all good. It's so funny because they're just sitting there fly fishing. And this bear's like, what's you doing over there? What is that?
Starting point is 01:09:38 What you? And then just comes for him. Yeah, oh my God. He starts booking it. And he gets close to Bowie. Here's the thing Booy's clearly the problem This bear saw a weird
Starting point is 01:09:51 Blue-looking creature in its territory And was like, no, dude Yeah I've seen humans I've seen fish But I ain't never seen you And it went If anything this should be a lesson
Starting point is 01:10:01 Get Bowie out of here We need some Bowie should be eaten By a crackin And replaced by that cracking Yeah He definitely should Or even just the bear
Starting point is 01:10:11 Might be a better Mascots I'm here for that Yeah Seattle The Bear Perfect. The bear charged toward the mascot,
Starting point is 01:10:21 splashing water, but turned away before making contact. The NHL team said it didn't intend to involve the bear in filming, but included a video posted on X. Grizzlies commonly feast. How could you not? It got so close. Yeah. They commonly feast on salmon in the river. Organizers had hired guides for safety.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Bears are everywhere, Brooks Falls, and the like. And this is their territory, said Crack and Partnership Marketing Director, Melissa O'Bracha, who also recorded the encounter from shore. They're also super used to seeing humans, so I wasn't scared. A troll might have been a different story. I want to blame it on Bowie, Hayden said on the video afterward. They're pretty interested in his look. So yeah, it was definitely booey.
Starting point is 01:11:03 The running with the grizzly happened on June 25th is part of the annual trip organized by the Bristol Bay Native Corporation in Anchorage, Alaska with events to promote youth ice hockey. Alaska does not have its own NHL team. The closest teams are in Seattle and Vancouver. Uber. So, yeah, look at that. Bowie almost got killed by a bear. It would be amazing if their mascot became a bear that just had pieces of the buoy costume attached to him.
Starting point is 01:11:29 That would actually be amazing. I'd love that. Yeah, the booing bear would be great. Yeah, the buoy eating bear. That would honestly get the crowd riled up. Without a doubt. And that's the big new story of the day. Okay, thanks so much for hanging out, for listening, for watching, however you enjoy this podcast. Crendor, hit him with socials.
