Raycon has got those good earbuds delivered right to your ears. Let's jump into this podcast. Hello, everybody. It's time for calls on Trent Dog. Let's sit, Trend Dog, in the morning. In the morning. Broadcast, live, live, live, live, live. Before our recording studio, recording.

Hey, me wake your ass up! It's up next, Crendon, in the morning. Hello, everybody, welcome to exciting episode of Cox and Crenor in the morning. Oh man, excitement has arrived. I don't know that it has, but I'm really excited me personally for this episode. Because, but minutes before we started, Crenor dropped a bomb on me that I need answers for. Yeah. Another classic Crendor has hit the building.

I must stress, we get on the call, and I go, I like stretch and I yawn and Crenner, and I'm like, oh, I love to get yon. And Crenor said, you know, sometimes you stretch too far, you strain your groin. Please elaborate. So, last Sunday night, actually, I was streaming. And I was playing Blood Ball.

I actually won Blood Bowl, which I think cursed me. And I was just like, you know what? All right, this is pretty good. And then I was going to, you know, get up, just like get something to drink or whatever. For some reason. And I sat back down. I was like, you know what I should do?

I should sit cross-legged in this chair. That was a terrible idea. I was playing Blood Bowl. And I won, strained my groin, has a whole other connotation to it that I just, I like that version better But okay So you sat down cross-legged in your chair

Yes Which I can I must stress I know so many people Who do weird leg chair things Yeah They're like well I can't just sit with my feet on the ground Like some idiot Well yeah I used to do stuff like that all the time

And then I've been trying to not do that But for some reason I was like I'm gonna do that And I tried and I remember I put my one leg up And I like put it on my other leg and I kind of started sitting down

and I just, you know that feeling where you just feel the pull? No, I've never strained my groin. Yeah, but have you strained like anything? Potentially, I guess the phrase, you saying, I strained my groin, you know, the pool is, again, not in my mind what I think you think it is.

I mean, I think I know what you think it is. But I'm talking, I'm just talking about pulling muscles and, you know. So I felt that it's like... So what do you mean? You just like extent, like it just hurt? Like it was a sharp pain? Well, when you pull a muscle, it doesn't hurt right away typically.

It's like when you, you know how when you stretch? And then when you hit your max stretch limit, you're just like, oh, I don't want to go further than that. It's like tense. Yeah. Well, it's like when you push past that. Understood. Okay. So...

Right. Right. So you just pushed your limits when it came to your groin. No, I get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. And so I did that, and I was like, uh. Right, right, yeah, you went, uh, yeah, yeah.

And so, uh, yeah, I was like, all right, well, that's probably not good. And so, uh, another Crendor classic injury. Wait, and you still have it, or is it good? Well, it was getting better than I flared it up the other day. Now it's getting better again. You got to stop flaring it up, dude. You got to stop flaring your groin up. I do.

You got to stop pulling at your groin. You're going to flare it up, dude. Yes. Well, it's honestly more my hip than my groin, but you should have started with hip. Hip, I would have been less apt to go in on you. But hip, all right, yeah. Yeah, it's more like a hip flexer. So, yeah, that happened.

And then the first day, it was just, like, burning. Not great. Well, the first day is in, like, the day after. And then it was a bit better the next day. And it was a bit better the next day. And then I was, like, feeling pretty good Thursday to the point where I was like, I'm, like, I'm, like, doing pretty good. I'm, like, pretty solid.

And then I was just, like, doing some. errands and then my friend was like hey do you want to go get food later i was like yeah and then the place we went they had like no parking so i had the park further away and walk on like uneven pavement and uh then and you know two three beer and i think all of that combined it did not like that. And so the next day, I woke up halfway through sleeping and it was just burning again and my like muscles were kind of spasming. And I was like, all right, yeah, I overdid it. And so now I'm on the recovery again. But now it's definitely healing again. But I've hit the point where I'm like, I'm just not going to do anything. Sounds smart. It sounds smart. What I heard

from the story you just told was, let me see if I got this straight. Sunday night while playing Blood Bowl you won and for a victory celebration you decided to pull your groin then a few days later

you went out with a friend and after a lot of beers you aggravated your groin even further is what I'm hearing I think that's what the distilled version of the story is yes okay yeah right

well let me tell you this shit It sucks. It is, it's one thing if it's like, you know, you're just sitting around and occasionally you move it and you go, ah, but it's another thing when it's like constantly aggravated. You got to stop aggravating it. Well, that's what I'm, that's what I was doing. And then I aggravated again. And now I'm like, you know, now I'm, I've learned my lesson.

I'm just like, yeah, I'm not doing anything crazy. I think this is why you and I, when we get. sick we have like a few extra days of coughs because rather than continue to heal we're like okay back to real life and we don't let ourselves completely heal so we end up you know going a little further than we probably should with a cold yeah or just anything it's like yeah i was about to say or anything slash groin yeah yeah toaster woman was just like there's people that would love to just sit around and do nothing. And she's like, you're like trying to move around and go crazy.

I'm like, I don't know. I just, I just feel compelled to like move and do thing. But I clearly, that's not working. So I need to just. Maybe it's to change how you move and do things, right? Maybe instead of, you know, sitting cross-legged and pulling your groin, you try not sitting cross-legged. What's what I'd been doing? And then for some reason I tried it, which was a terrible idea. Never try new things

Or old things in this case. Or old things, yeah. Yeah, just don't try. I think it's what you're telling people. Yeah, just don't try Good good advice So yeah, it's it's definitely better today, but I'm at the point where I'm just like listen Even when I feel good now, I'm like let's give it another week I'm gonna I'm it in that point where I'm like you know? Even feeling good. Good. Let's just give it another week. Give it some more time. You're not a spring chicken anymore. You're an older adult now.

That's true. I've hit my 70s. I can't be doing this anymore. Yeah, you're like in dog ears, dude. I do think that my other, you know how I've complained about my other, like, lower leg injuries over the weeks. I'm sure that probably didn't help. That probably like tightened my hips to like compensate or something like that. Everything's kind of connected. So. I get that. Yeah, because in order to not feel pain in one part, you walk a little differently,

but then that puts strain on another part that then eventually could pool. Like, I get it. Yeah. So then that tightens up and then, you know, so I think the real story here is I need to just not do anything. And just rest. I think that's it. Yeah. Have you thought about getting someone else?

to do those things for you. Well, that was the worst part is Toaster Woman wasn't here this week. You know what? You must really like her because you always fall apart when she's not around. I mean, we are married.

Look, I understand. I'm just saying I don't hear the version of like toast falling apart when you're not around. That's true. She seems like she can handle her stuff. You completely useless.

and toast isn't around. Oh, yeah, 100%. It's that just, that just got to amplify everything where I'm like, all right, here we go. Just got to do this. Lay down. Got to do this. All right. Because she went to see her family for the week. And so then she's just like, how's your day? And I'm like, hurt myself again. Is she over it? Is she kind of just like, ah, all right, put ice on it. She just keeps telling me to not move now. So I think that is what I'm doing. So yeah, I don't know. It's just, it sucks.

But I am kind of doing it to myself as well. Yes, you 100% are. There is no outside factor here. You are the cause of your own problems. Yeah. No, I definitely am. So it's just the worst part is then I look up stuff and they're like, One of the ways to getting better is positivity.

And I'm just like, how am I supposed to be positive? I don't know. You be like, well, hey, at least I get a few days rest. I guess. Well, there's your problem. I don't think you know how to be positive. I don't know. Well, there's moments where I'll get positive.

Well, one of the things was what helped with, like, stress and anxiety is going to the gym. I can't do that. Well, you just have to go do other things in the gym or take it slower. Yeah. I mean, that's true. What do you mean? Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I'm not going to, though. Well, it's just, I don't know. It's easy to get, like, negative and down when you're just like, up, I'm hurt again. Here we go. And then you just kind of like sit there, like, eh.

And then you're like, am I going to do something? You're like, nah. And you just, which anything, that should make me sit around and not do anything. But it doesn't. You got to slow roll it, dude. Like, when I, uh, started to get back. into working out, it was like, I'm going to do 10 minutes on this elliptical. 10. Simple. That's all I'm doing this week. And the next week it was 15.

And the next week it was 20. And now I'm doing 45 minutes. Like it's, you can do it. It's possible. Like you just got a slow roll it. You should know this more than me. That's true. But you're like in the zone.

You should, yeah. Instead of trying to do the Crendel workout, just like baby. it look at what the old men are doing and do the same thing as them that's true i should just should do the old man thing i should just write down every day like what did i do and then be like how did i feel and then be like all right tomorrow we will add in something else and then see how i feel yeah i'm telling you like the first the first couple days of just 10 minutes my whole chest was on fire and now i'm like i could go another 20 Yeah, no, it's like it took a while, though, it wasn't like, like you got to reset.

You're, you're broke, you're broken. I am broken. I do really need to reset. I think that's it. So now from here on out, we're in Crenor Reset era. That's great, yeah. Start from the ground up. You're like a, you're like a sports team.

This is, this is an off year for you. You're not trying to make the playoffs. Yeah. You're trying to establish fundamentals. Yeah, we need more fun in the fundamentals. Exactly, yeah. Next year you pick up, you know, first round pick. Yeah.

All right. Well, how's your week going? Uh, great. I've been, uh, just being stupid, hanging out, getting a lot of stuff done. Uh, went to a Polish restaurant yesterday with my parents that they wanted to go to for a while called, uh, Solidarity. It's here in L.A. I always thought I wanted to go there is because, I've seen it.

I've driven past it numerous times and always been like, well, what the hell is that? A little, like, Polish place? And by little, I mean, it's actually huge. I guess it's been there since the 70s. I don't know. But it's very big. And so I keep seeing it. And I mentioned it to my parents, and parents were like, oh, most of my dad was like, oh, I'd love to go there.

And so my mom hit me up with like, what are you doing this weekend? We haven't seen you in a while. So I knew the guilt trip was coming. So I was like, well, let's, let's hang out there. Let's hang out. I'll take you to this place. It really was recommended by the fact that all the Polish devs I know who work at CD Project went there one time and were like, pretty much the best Polish food we've had in the States. So I was like, okay.

All right. Oh my God. So we went to this restaurant. Great. We got like a warm bread, olive topinod thing that my mom wanted. My dad and I got a pierogi sampler. We got some little potato pancake things and stuffed cabbage. you know, good stuff.

It was very funny, though, that my parents, because they both grew up in Pittsburgh. In fact, almost my entire family is from Pittsburgh. Right. They have Polish food in Pittsburgh that isn't necessarily Polish food. It's kind of like when you get German in different places in the United States, but it's not necessarily German, but it's very close. Yeah.

Or Chinese, it's like Americanized Chinese, that kind of thing. Yeah. So their expectations of what it's, would be versus what we got were accurate but just slightly off. So for example, the stuffed cabbage we got, flavor profile, very Polish. Like when I've been to Poland, tasted exactly like that. But the way they make it in Pittsburgh is just slightly flavored differently. And so my parents were like, wow, this doesn't taste anything like Pittsburgh.

I'm like, yeah, because it's Poland. You know, they liked it, they enjoyed it, but it was very clear that the experience of of growing up in one place that served Polish-ish food versus Poland, Poland is a different experience. Well, what's like the Pittsburgh one tastes like, are they not say? They said it was a little more, I don't want to say spicy, I guess tomato-y. Ah, okay. Like the sauce is a more tomato-based sauce, and this one is less of that.

While the meat inside is the same flavor, the sauce was, I don't want to say more sweet, I didn't think it was that sweet, but it is sweeter, right, than the one that I would assume was more tomato-y and had spice. Not like hot, but like spiced. Yeah. Those are the differences. And so this one was, and I was like, I don't know what the tomato vibe in Poland is like. Whenever I've been there, I haven't seen a lot of tomato-based foods. Yeah, the prerogi were great.

They were delicious, but each one had a different filling in it. And, yeah, that all comes down to preference, whether you like it fried or you like it, you know, boiled then fried you're just like it boiled and on the platter was different versions so one was a cheese one that was boiled uh they had like a sauce on it one was a um uh like a sauerkraut and meat one that was fried one was a potato one that had that like it was clearly boiled and then thrown in the pan really quick you know like different versions and so each one you were like oh okay that's nice i like this thing yeah good stuff i enjoyed it tremendously and And then at the end, they got, my mom and dad got an apple tart thing.

They loved that. The entire drive home, my mom was like, oh, that tar was so good. I was like, I'm glad you loved it. So, and I got the, I got the beer that they had. And I almost pronounced it correctly. I want to send you, I want to send you this. All right. I won't pronounce it correct because I still don't quite know exactly how it's pronounced, but I'm close.

What do you think that is? This is the number one beer in the country. Oh, I think I've seen that before. Is it? Zwick? No, not even remotely. Okay. How is it pronounced?

It's roughly, and again, I know I'm going to get this wrong, but I hope I'm close. It's like Z-Y-Y-Y-Y-E-C. Oh. Yeah. Like, for people who can't see it, it's Z-Y-W-I-E-C. I'll put it into the Google renounce. And I know. I know that if you Google it, the first thing you're to see is a terrible pronunciation that says zyweak.

That's not it. Oh, yeah. That's not how you pronounce it. It is roughly zyivits, zeviotvits, something like that. It has an ets at the end instead of a, in a week. This one says zivots. That could be, that's pretty close. Yeah, sure.

Ziviots could be it. Yeah, yeah. This is pronunciation planet. Yeah, so it's like zivi, and then the, the, sea is like a it's Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a fascinating language. I don't understand it to save my life.

Every time I'm in Poland, I learn something new and I'm like, what? What do you mean? That's how that's pronounced. But that's most of Eastern Europe and Northern Europe. That's true. They have words that do not flow with the English tongue at all. Which is crazy to me when I know so many people from Norway, Sweden, Finland,

who learned English. And I'm like, do we have like the sloppiest, laziest language? Is it just really easy to learn English? Is that because I don't know how I would take the time to learn your language. I've heard English is the hardest language to learn. I would imagine in, like, vocabulary,

but not in day-to-day practice. That makes sense? Like, learning to talk like us is probably easy, but learning all the little things and the way we say stuff is probably very difficult because it's a lot of nuance stuff. What says it's not the hardest language

but it has a lot of tricky things such as grammar, inconsistent spelling, pronunciation, large vocabulary, so that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of like that old Gallagher bit which you probably can find on the internet where he talks about just all the ways we spell things that don't make any sense.

but the way they sound is just different. Yeah. That's kind of the vibe where I would imagine that's a pain in the ass. But, yeah, if I had to guess the hardest language, some form of Chinese. Like one of the, or, oh, what is the Japanese? It's not kanji. The other one that's like old school Japanese. The one where like certain words mean the exact same.

It's like one symbol means five things. That's kind of what we have, except it's not a symbol, it's a word. Uh, yeah, it's like there. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I can't remember what it's called either. Yeah, I would imagine there's, there's a lot of the more, some, like, not Latin-based languages. It might be Katakana. That sounds correct.

Yeah, I think it might be that. Because Kanji's supposed to be like the easy one that everyone can kind of get. Yeah. It says there isn't a single hardest language. The language is like Mandarin, Arabic, Japanese, Korean. are pretty complex or can be complex we're pretty lucky in the West

at least that most of our languages are based off Latin roots so even though they're not exactly the same you can kind of figure stuff out based on how it sounds yeah that's true so yeah that's that's pretty I mean listen I'm I'm one third Polish

that's like in my genetics I remember growing up and eating Polish stuff because my one side of the family would always make it But they would just make, like, the, the parogis, the, like, classic American Polish type of thing. And then, but they would occasionally make, like, uh, like the beat stuff or like borsh. I remember having that. Honestly, I like beats.

Beats are good. I'm fine with beats. I think, sadly, a lot of people prepare beats, like trash. Oh, yeah. I've come to learn the odor I get that a lot of the foods I hated were just because people made them. poorly. Yeah. That is true.

And now that I have the experience of going to us. L.A., I'm very grateful, and I'm sure you feel the same with Chicago. Like, bigger cities have more stuff to go experience. And when you go experience them, you can be like, oh, this is what this is supposed to actually be like. Okay. And then it changes your perspective on a, you know, I've definitely come into my, I eat a lot more vegetables these days. Right. Because having them cooked well, you're like, oh.

It isn't just boiled garbage, flavorless green stuff. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's the thing. Everyone used to just boil stuff. It just gets rid of all the flavor and texture and just everything about it. Yeah, yeah. It definitely makes you appreciate people who are good chefs. So shout out to the chefs of the world.

You're killing it right now. Big fan. Yeah. Oh, by the way, by the way, you roasted me so hard. And I both felt called out, but also was like, no, no, Crendor. So in the last video for, too old for this. Oh, that's what I was going to bring up. I mentioned that, hey, instead of buying to buy chocolate, go support your local

chocolatier. And you said, local chocolatier, look at this L.A. guy. You were giving me the gulf. Right. I must stress. when I say Chocolatier I mean it could be Seas Candies

or it could be like in different parts of the country there are companies that are local based that is also what I'm referring to I'm not referring to like Le Monde Jean-Franchi and we only make chocolates

like that's very L.A. I'm talking about like you know different places that are your local chocolate place and I guarantee you have them nearby. It may not be in your town but it's nearby. I guess the way you worded it.

Like, you could have been like, support your local chocolate shop. You're right. And I've been like, oh, okay, yeah, support your local chocolate shop. You said chocolatier. Like, you go down to the local chocolate man who's like, I melted a chocolate down and I spread it around. But there are, like, especially in small towns, there are local candy guys. It may not be in small town America because they're falling apart. But in a lot of places, there's a local candy guy, and that's the guy you should go to.

Yeah, I get that. But man, you went in on me, and I was like, I'm bringing this up. I can't reply. I got to bring this up on the podcast. I got to talk about this. Yeah, no. It was definitely the wordage. I, yeah, I agree.

Chocolate tear is a little dushy. But what I meant was support your local chocolate industry rather than $13 chocolate bars behind the counter at the gas station. Yeah, no, I got you. I will say it was okay. Yeah, it was all right. I saw you gave it a seven I gave it an eight I will say after the fact

I felt bad and almost wanted to go back and change it to a seven I was like I gave it an eight but we already edited it but like I don't think it's an eight it's a solid seven yeah and I was like I don't care

just put out the video I almost redid that almost it's like I said it's like those what are those chocolates called like Ferrario

or whatever yeah the Ferreira Roche or whatever they are yeah yeah it tastes like that but with like pistachio. The video that I watched in it, I felt bad because while watching back the video, while watching your reaction to it, I realized a certain point

it's just watching some dude's video. And I was really invested in his video because I made no comments for a while. But the points he was making were accurate. Where I was like, yeah, this is literally just like a, you know, a Laboooo, where people want it because they can't have it. Right. It's

not worth it. Like a Labibu, not worth it. It is expensive sort of like it's the exact same way especially here in LA when people buy cars they can't afford just to look

cooler than they actually are there's a lot of that in the purchase of this chocolate yeah but just on a smaller scale right right on a $12 instead of a $100,000 scale yeah yeah yeah it uh

I mean I think I'd rather have the Labu Boo Boo because at least then you got something you can then like put in your house or you know, maybe you'll look at it years later and be like, look, this used to be a thing, like Furbies and shit, and then everyone will be like, wow, but like a chocolate. I'd rather have the chocolate because the chocolate will eventually disappear and I'll never have to be reminded of my shame again. That's true, except for the video online.

Yeah, the Luboo will always be there and have to look at that thing and it'll be like, you bought me for $85. Right? Like that's, I'll have to look at that. So I could, I mean, I could get it. I get both sides, but yeah, it was, it was okay. I was expecting something a little crazier, to be honest. I was, too.

Mostly because those videos made it look super gross. I just, I can't get over the fact that those videos that have multiple millions of views are just people eating the grossest thing. Like, not, I watched you, I watched I eat it. It was a chocolate bar. Put in your mouth. Num, num, numb, num, here's my thoughts. Which, again, I think is very review bra of us.

I watch us both take an unreasonable amount of time to chew it. Oh, yeah. It was so funny. I saw a comment that said he takes a full minute. And I thought they were talking about me. And then I watched you and was like, oh, we're both doing it. So good stuff. Love that.

But, yeah, no, watching the whole, like, crack it open and it oozes. And they're like, oh, it's so gross. I just can't handle it. Well, I think part of that is the shock factor of it, right? Part of it, I think, is the ASMR people listen to. Part of it, part of it is that, like, there's like some weird, it's like you can't look away. It's like, what are they doing? And, like, people like that.

So I think, I think there's a lot of different aspects than just, like, they're eating. So you're telling me, it's fetish content is what you're telling me. For somebody, it is. That one where it's like she's, Gets goop and she's trying to eat that thing. I'm like, no, this is a fetish content. This is the gross. Yep.

It's just, every time I see anything like that, I'm just like, I already know there's somebody out there. Yeah. You just, you know. But it'll be, uh, we did both figure out the secret Gen Z very quickly. That was, that was pretty easy. I, uh, was shocked how easy that was. But also upset at them when I realized at the end, it was for money.

Yeah. Like, I was fine with it the entire time, like, okay. And then when they lost and the guy won money, I was actually angry. Yeah. It's, I think the worst part to me was when it was over and there's people just being like, wow, I never would have guessed. And I was like, are you kidding me? Like, that was the most obvious shit I've ever seen. I was just, I was blown away.

The thing that really did it for me was, I mean, you probably watched mine. But if you want to watch either of ours, it's. It's the almost too old for this and too old for this channels. I love that you take my like 13 minute video and it comes out 24 minutes. It's the perfect watch along to working out video. I spent two nights this week watching you react to me while I was running. So loved it. That's pretty good.

And it's just like first it was just them not really showing him. Right? And I think you said that as well. Or it's like we haven't really seen him say or do anything. So he's clearly just like, how do I? he's like the Among Us thing where they're the imposter and they're just like

what if I just stay quiet let everyone else like you know it worked though that one I was not to say little girl again no smaller woman

who is clearly an adult right she kept trying to speak up and get in the conversation and when they were talking about video games she said I didn't I didn't really play video games

and then when she was like oh my brother had a PlayStation 2 and I used to play that I think I played Mario and they're like you play Mario PlayStation do? She said I didn't play video games and she was trying to fit in the conversation but because she spoke up

and tried to get in, they voted her off. Exactly. And so this guy who said nothing among us coasted. I was like, no, dude. He's saying too little. That was the worst part too, was then every other answer he had was like a blatant hint.

Like when he was like my favorite wrestlers Hulk Hogan. I'm like, it's literally like saying Michael Jordan is my favorite bat. Like anybody could say that even if you're born like now. because everybody knows that. It's not like he's like deep diving into it, like getting really into it. And they go, okay, yeah, exactly.

They didn't do any follow-ups. Like, if he would have said, Hulk Hogan's my favorite, I would have said, which Hulk Hogan? Because anyone from that time period knows you either had like America Hulk or Hollywood Hulk Hogan when he was part of the NWO, where he was a bad guy.

And like, that's the, like, which one? And if he couldn't tell me that there were two Hulk Hogan's, potentially more, I can't remember if he had other transformations. But like, come on now. If you're doing that time period And then I would have been like Alright NWO Which one? Red or black?

Like I would have waited I would have asked questions No one did they were like Yeah bro Yeah I know that reference too It's like the other guy Was just like yo yeah Just like Sean Dubly or whatever

And he was like Ha ha yeah Sean Dubly And then after everything He's like yeah I don't know who that is It's like I feel like these contestants We're just dumb Honest to God

He read them like a psychic Yeah Like one of the psychics too, like, you just give me so much information, and I'll just go with it. But then his biggest goof was the video game segment still, because when they're asking, like, what's your first console? Every millennial person was just like Super Nintendo, Nintendo, Game Boy, like, everybody, and then he goes, GameCube.

And as soon as he said that, you could tell he was like, uh-oh. And then he even backtracked. He goes, actually, no, it was a Game Boy Advance. And I was like, that came out at like the same time. so I was like that was it that was the nail in the coffin I was like dude he's he's it that was like from there on

I was like I know it already that's the one thing I think I pinpointed him earlier than that so I didn't really pick up on that but you're totally correct but that is a giveaway too and then he did the backtrack of like well actually I had a Game Boy advanced before that

I never really was a console player and it's like okay yeah all right he started panicking yeah he was like but yeah he could have he could have just been like yeah I had a Super Nintendo

like honestly yeah for as stressful of a video of watching people fail as that was I would do that again if they have more of that I would too it was fun to try and like figure it out and see the little signs and everything I don't know that I do Jubilee

again because they came for that video they like triple unmonetized it they went like just not just an auto thing did it Jubilee the company came for the video they sent people like there was a guy

clearly filled in the information yeah I was like oh all right well won't be doing that again yeah I'm really worried because people want me to react to which by the way good luck with this one

they want me to react to K-pop demon hunters oh yeah I've heard of that yeah I'm like all right I will try I don't know how we show that on screen

without it being immediately flagged and removed. That is the problem. Because it's Netflix. This isn't like Jubilee is all their ad money from this thing goes to us, which is fine, whatever. Netflix is like, no, no, no, this will never see the light of day.

Yeah. And we've tested things. Like we've uploaded, all right, what if it's my face and the video in the corner? And we've tested stuff to see what happened. We have to do like a workaround. So I assigned everyone in the office like, go watch a bunch of React videos of that movie

and see how people showed it online. Yeah, are they like blurring it? Are they like, what are they doing? Yeah, I'm not necessarily concerned about, you know, ad rev for it. I'm more concerned about Netflix saying you can't broadcast this at all, which is a totally different thing. So we'll see. But yeah, I think that's something we're going to try and do

because everyone keeps asking me. And I'm like, yeah, all right, I'll give it a shot. Yeah, so we'll see. I will say, I've learned quite a bit over these weeks of doing these. It has been actually pretty fun. Yeah, I'm enjoying myself in that it's kind of like, okay, I'm caught up on some things, I'm learning some things. I feel more connected to the zeitgeist, I guess, is the right word, of what the kids are into. And while I don't necessarily have to be into it, I'm like, okay, no, I know what that is.

I get that. yeah no I definitely get that too or it's like you at least kind of understand it now yeah before you'd be like skibbitty toilet these dumb kids and now you're like I get it like I still don't fully understand but like now I do get it I the next video I think this is what comes out Tuesday I could be wrong but the next video is uh me learning about the Costco bros and the Costco ho oh yeah and I was like what the hell is this? This is so stupid. I will let you know that your whole thing about families doing stuff online is going to come through again very passionately.

But more importantly, I was trying to figure out how they're connected to the Rizler. Because they're all in this sort of the Rizler cinematic universe. And I'm like, how the hell? I'll let you know this. Doing all of these videos has made me for some reason still appreciate the Rizler that in order to wipe the taste from this video from my mouth, I literally at the end of the video, go and watch the Rizler do a thing. I laughed the entire time. I'm like, you know what?

I still love the Rizzler. That's the thing I'm taking away from all this. Like, you can keep funneling all these influencers towards me, and I will be like, they're all right. But you can be one Rizler video. I'm like, this kid, this kid has the magic. He has the sauce. I love him.

He raised you. I kind of already know of the Costco guys. I've like seen some of the stuff. So, but I've never like fully watched it. So that'll be, that'll be the experience. um speaking of a content creation i started doing the thing people kept wanting me to do it they're like can you upload pointless top pens but like like big like hour long compilations

i saw that on my timeline of basically like videos to sleep to yeah and so i was like you know what screw it i'll try it so i did three hours of wild animal facts to fall asleep to and then i just did three hours of wow NPC fax lore to fall asleep too, which was like all I did to edit those was go through all my pointless top tens and just edit out the intro and edit out the outro. And then I added a little thing of me being like, hey everybody, here's three hours of pointless top tens about this, enjoy. And dude, I get why people do this now. Like it's insane how much YouTube loves these videos.

loves them again it's that repeatable watchable content the other day on geekenders was talking about this video I watch almost every night

when I go to sleep and it literally is just cars on a highway it's a camera overlooking the highway it's raining and these cars are driving by it's like two hours long I'll put it on when I go to sleep I watch it so much

to the point that when I went last night to go look Someone left a comment that said, Jesse Cox from Geekunders brought me here. I responded to it and said, I'm going to bed. Good night. That's how often I'm there. These long videos that are for the purposes like,

hey there, we're going to sleep now. Do so well. Yeah. Well, it's not even like being like, go to sleep. It's just like long videos. Yeah, this is background noise.

Because I kept seeing these all over. Just like eight hours of this thing, like 10 hour. And I'm just like, like, I guess they're popular. I guess people are watching because it's just like nonstop. You can put it on, forget about it. And so the insane part is they like they still, they're doing pretty decent view-wise. But it's just the actual CPMs of these videos is like insane. Massive.

Yeah. The longer the video, the higher the CPM. It's the way it's been for six years-ish. that's why going back to that one guy's video that we talked about on another tool for this or was a four-hour secret room video if this was 10 years ago that would be 18 minutes yeah 100% but it's four hours long and so the engagement that's four hours at however many dozens of millions of views that's bank yeah it's actually crazy and i noticed that it seems YouTube loves

they love long they love watch time more than anything that's the big thing yeah yeah because if they're watching you a lot then YouTube like even it used to just be like views like views and subscribers that was the big thing now they they put watch time there because YouTube loves telling you like

these people watched a lot of your videos and they keep watching a lot and that's kind of become their main metric is like how long do people watch this thing yeah well it's because like all of those platforms it's about keeping you on the site rather than

did they come and watch oh this video that's 18 minutes long has 185 million views well yeah okay that's 18 million 18 minutes on your website versus you know 50 million three hours on your website

which is huge to them and yeah you're absolutely right the idea of if I make an 18 minute video or an eight minute video or three minute music video whatever and someone watches the entire thing that's a hundred percent completion rate which used to be important but it's not anymore to them that's oh they watched three minutes eight minutes 18 minutes versus i watched 20 minutes of your five hour video but that is way more than those other three things yep and so that's more

important even um when you do the thumbnail test they don't tell you this one generated more views it says this one had people watch more of the video. Right. Which, again, shows you what they care. They don't care if the thumbnail gets people a click on it. They don't say this one got the most clicks. They just say, this one made people watch

the longest. And so you go, all right, and you just pick that one. Also, give you an example of length and how it works. Karma, the Dark World, for Scary Game Squad, six hours long. Doing great. This midnight walk video

that we did two hours alright this video that we did that's 33 minutes not great yep and that's not about views that's about watch time yep and it really is why

longer videos are just kind of the main thing of YouTube right now yeah a lot of people are like we're scary game squad what's the next one because we can't meet that often I'm just I have a bunch already half edited just sitting aside until we finish it then I'll upload the full

thing there's no reason to upload parts of things anymore. It actively hurts you. Yeah. Because that's what it used to be. It'd be like part one of this thing, episode two,

let's play or whatever. Now it's just like, you're better off being like, here's 10 hours of me playing Baldur's Gate 3 or something, right? Yeah. Yeah. And back in the day,

I tried that and it hurt my channel. Yep. I made a video while. It was pointless top 10 outdoor liminal spaces. And I was like, I thought it was a really fun video

was really good. It actually did really well. It got the most views this entire month out of, or the last like, I don't know, the last 30 days or whatever I'd say it like last month. And it performed the worst in terms of like

analytics. And the the CPM was only like a dollar 50. And so I was like, what the shit? And it's because we're trying to figure it out because there's a lot of like younger audiences I think that watch

Liminal Space videos and so it knows on YouTube like oh they don't have money like you know content for like the you it usually generates a lot less in terms of uh revenue so sure sure that's

that's got to be it because then every other video I would do it just be like my normal CPMs and then you know make my crazy ones and they're just way higher so it's like it was the perfect comparison because it's like it got the most views

but it did the worst in terms of like just actually being worth it if you want to know looking into this right now I just notice a trend and I want to ask you about this

because I know this is kind of the space you operate into so looking at this because you just mentioned kids don't have money so the algorithm

kind of knows that it also knows when people do have money and this is so funny every video on my channel that has any sort of Warhammer both normal and 40K vibe

has twice the CPM of other videos which to me says they absolutely know if you're buying Warhammer things you have like disposable income oh yeah no it's which is so funny because they're like oh no they pay $160 for a statue dude

pump the ad rev That's crazy! I just noticed this right now. That's so funny. Yeah, it's like these, you know, whatever the algorithm, the company, like, they know. Like, they know what makes the most money, what gets the best ads, who pays the most.

Like, they have all the data. I found this article to talk about the top CPMs. So number one is making money online, which is pretty funny. Uh, number two is digital marketing, then personal finance, educational is actually pretty high up. I wonder, oh, the first three feel like the ads you would get with those would be the infamous, I read 85 books a day, this is my Ferrari, you could be like me, like, I don't necessarily know that I want those ads on my videos, but I do understand why, because that marketing of like, you can be rich, they pay well. for that because it is definitely a scam and they're trying to scam you so yeah

I get it I don't like it but that I understand the top three I understand educational videos I imagine because those are kind of evergreen you can always go back to them yeah like tutorials courses lectures yeah I feel like that's probably the reason why

yeah I think so and they're longer typically yes yeah then we got tech cars and gadgets Uh, ASMR. ASMR videos,

man, again, that's because repeat watching. Yep. They know you'll go back, just like that damn cars driving on the highway video. I go back to it every,

uh, not every day, but almost every day. Yeah. It's combined with the ASMR. Yeah. Tech car ASMR. Uh,

then we got lifestyle, fashion, beauty makeup, motivational, spiritual cooking, travel, fitness, gaming, and comedy and humor is less. Yeah, I was going to say, gaming is definitely further down the list. Yeah.

So, yeah, gaming is pretty hard down. Yeah, these days 100%. If you're wondering why a lot of gamers aren't doing gaming content on YouTube these days, and they're doing, I don't know, like podcasts, like someone, I don't know who would. But that's the reason why is as a business is, not even remotely. It's like animators. You will not find

short little animations on YouTube anymore. Yep. So there's your deep dive into the YouTube analytics, everyone. I didn't even like know some of this. Yeah. Look at us. Look at that. You know what else you could? Oh God, I lost it.

Ads. That's great. You know what else you get ads? Uh-huh. Sure. Sure. It's August. It's your. either time for or almost time for the kids to go back to school, for you to go back to school, for whatever nonsense is about to get in your way of chill you time.

to school. Honestly, this entire week of driving has felt absolutely insane. I feel like traffic's gotten worse this week. There's been some terrible drivers just going too fast, going too slow, just merging, doing dumb things, stopping in the

middle of the intersections and shit. I don't know if it's just amplified because I've been in more pain, so I'm just like, move! But that probably is it. But it really does feel like it's been pretty bad. Back to you. Thanks, Krednor. Now let's go over to Krendor at the weather. How's that weather? Weather.

Where am I weather? Where am I weather? Hopefully not the same as last time. If we do that damn town again, I'm going to lose my mind. I did think of doing that as a goof, but... You monster. For weather requests for my father and I who love listening to you to while fishing, may I humbly request Cam Loops, BC, Canada. Cam loops

Also shout out to the family bonding time over Cox and Crendor I'm so sorry yeah that is you know we're bringing families

together all over I never thought that's the thing we would do but I'm proud of us I am too hopefully someone else can relate to my pains in Camloops

I just think of fruit loops it is 85 degrees Fahrenheit feels like 97. That's hot. Humidity, 21%, pressure, 29.95 inches, visibility 10. 603 a.m. sunrise, 802 p.m. sun set. 4-mile an hour wins. 41 on the dew point UV index 5 of 11. And a waxing crescent moon phase.

Uh, 10 day. We got Monday, 99 and sunny. Tuesday, 99 and sunny. Wednesday, 98, mostly sunny. Thursday, 95, partly cloudy cloudy. Friday, 91, partly cloudy, Saturday, 86, partly cloudy, then 85, partly cloudy, 89, 90, 85, 83, 81, 78, 73, all partly cloudies. Hmm. Ooh.

Camloops has the vibe of kind of like, I know this probably isn't accurate, it looks like a very sort of wilderness town. But more importantly, if I was going to drive to Alaska, it almost feels like if I went to Vancouver first. This is the last real town before you get into like, oh, we're a town all right, six, six houses. Yeah, no, I can see that. There clearly are some little tiny places along the way, but this seems, yeah, you're getting up into the woods. There's a place called the noble pig. Awesome. It actually looks pretty decent. the noble pig is it next to a Tim Hortons

can I ask that question it actually is oh my god it's like out of the street that's so funny that is pretty funny the noble pig yeah look at that

yeah I like it you know what I bet most of the food because look at the noble pig it looks like food you would eat in winter it does Like hearty food.

Yeah, like a hearty cabin type of vibe. Yeah. Red tomato pies. So, yeah, they got pizza. Which, by the way, Canadian pizza, it is entirely based on do you like cheese? Yeah, I see that. Canadian pizza in general always has a ton of cheese. I know it's not everywhere, but in general, love their cheese.

Yeah, I see that. There's a lot of, uh, cafes and places like that, too. Yeah, I would imagine that, um, you know, they're not going to find, like, too many, uh, yeah, wow, there's, man. I don't know what you're going with that you said. You're not going to find too many what? Nothing. I'm clearly wrong. There's a lot of, there's an Indian restaurant, and there's pasta places and little banquet bars and Thai places.

There's a Korean place called Jacob's Noodle and Cutlet. I bet Jacob's Noodle and Cutlet. Slaps. Yeah, I bet that's good. Oh, my God. Like, legit. It looks really good. Wow.

I'm here for Neighborhood Pub. My favorite combination of two languages. Carlos O'Brien. Shout to Carlos O'Brien. Irish Pub serving Mexican food. I'm here for it. Oh, yeah. I see it.

Yeah, oh, you went to the pub. What'd you get, Cevice, dude? Like, okay, hell yeah. Carlos O'Brien. Carlos O'Brien's, I'm here for that. It actually is pretty cool, like looking through all this stuff here. Yeah, also, this is the railroad. I'm curious, so there is something I've always wanted to do with Canada, very specifically.

There is a railroad that's like a sleeper train that goes from coast to coast in Canada, And you can see all the things. You know, it has like glass windowed cars. So you can sit there and drink coffee and like, you know, read or play a board game of the friends while you're going through the mountains and stuff. I kind of want to do that. That is pretty cool. I just don't know enough about it to know, you know, it takes like a few days. I bet that be fun.

But yeah, there's a, like there's a lot of things that I would expect. For example, Red Beer Cafe That looks like a thing you would see In a town that's bordering the wilderness Yes, 100%. No, there's actually everything I've clicked on looks pretty solid. There's like two pig

Because there's the noble pig And then underbelly by the pig is down the street They have like a pig thing here? Also, there's Carlos O'Brien's Right next to Kelly O'Brien's Both O'Brien spelled the exact same way. What is that about? no it's pretty great and then it's got the uh

the like all right alaska vibe to it going on yeah i get why you would come here to go fishing because it has the you could definitely get out into the wilderness and go fish and then that night drive back into town and have like a good chef prepared meal yeah it also uh looking at all it looks like they have a lot of snow stuff in the winter like skiing things like that i believe that yeah i found the spot It is not in the heart of town, but if you're looking at camloops and you head to the right on the map, you go past Juniper Ridge, there is a place called the pond country market.

Crendor, that's the spot we would go to. I know this about us. It is a country market, but also serving food. and one of the things they have is a giant cuterie plate they got like old country singers

singing oh man they got the plants and things you can go look at it's all kind of outdoors oh yeah

they got weird like frog statues yeah they got little Santa men oh yeah this is the spot this is like dinner and a show yeah this is good

I like this the soups look good yeah everything about now this is definitely the place I'd go to they got oh my God one of the desserts is just three cookies with ice cream put on top of the cookies with whipped cream on top of like that looks so good stop that really does this is this is the spot

no dad yeah there's the scroll down far enough you're just looking at people drinking wine outside this is the spot there's this stuff to look at you can buy weird beads for some reason oh yeah this is great yeah big fan you can buy bug Itch after bike cream. Yeah. Bug itch. Yeah, look at that. Go camloops. That's the weather.

Okay, let's talk sports. Sports. Oh, sports. We've got the NFL preseason has wrapped up. That means we now are just a few weeks away from actual NFL football, which is exciting for me.

And then we got Let's see Baseball getting towards the end Watch out We got Blue Jays in first Tigers in first Astros in first Phillies in first

Brewers in first And the Padres overtaking the Dodgers in first Wow wee Then we've got Let's see PGA Tour Championship Tommy Fleetwood

is currently winning We got U.S. Open scoreboard B. Shelton and T. Fritz A. Sabalanka and those are the current winners of the U.S. I don't know how the U.S. Open works.

Right, the U.S. Open with, you know, P. Fritz famed U.S. opener. Right, right, right, right, right, right, right. And it looks like the 2025, 2026 Spanish La Liga. has real Madrid beating real Oviedo right now, live. So that could change. It could.

It could. And that's sports. Boy, oh boy, it's that time where we talk fact of the day. Yep. The tallest living man is 41-year-old Sultan Khosin from Turkey, who is 8 feet 2.8 inches. He set the record in 2009, and his growth is also due to a pituitary issue.

Well, that's not as fun. But the tallest man ever recorded was American giant Robert Wadlow, who was 8 foot 11. Yo, when I hear stuff like this, I keep thinking, you know, when you're talking about the pituitary stuff, I keep thinking about like, yeah, they're huge. But also, they have Crendor level problems their entire life. Oh, yeah, without a doubt. They're always in pain. Like the stories I read, I'm just like, wow, that guy.

I was eight feet tall, crazy. And they're like, he died young. His body hurt his entire life. He was like, he was just too big. And I always think about that because it just, I understand why shorter people live longer, on average. That's the worst part. I'm short.

I'm supposed to be healthy and spry. No, no, no, no, no. You'll live to be 110, but you will be like, you'll just be like, please, end me. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Honestly, my grandma turns 100 in a few months. And every time

Every time we're just like, you're going to be 100 And she's like, yeah, whatever I get it now, man I understand After a while you're just like I you know what It's not even It's not even worth it

Yeah I saw oh my God I saw some Scientists post the thing which I don't believe for a minute Right But they posted Try to live for the next 10 years because we're discovering how to reverse aging. I'm like, I don't believe that for a minute.

One, if it's true they're trying to reverse aging, then it's going to cost you rich people money. Yeah. It's going to be like that movie, what's that one that had Justin Timberlake, I think it was like, hey man, I've got time on my hand. And all the rich people live forever and the poor people have like barely 20 years. That's what that would be. Um

Yeah, or it's like that guy That was like that scam artist guy We talked about a few months ago Where he's like, I'm researching longevity Or whatever, remember that guy? Yeah, yeah, them saying We'll have age reversing technology in 10 years It's roughly the same thing as

The articles that were like, by 2025 Women will leave men for sex robots Like, no, I don't, where's that at? So yeah, I don't believe any of that. Yeah. they promised me flying cars dude in the 90s yeah where's the flying cars they you know what

we got we ended up with the worst version of cyberpunk we didn't even get the cool we don't even have like cool cities we're it's true there's no neon light cities everywhere you know what we got screwed we got the boring cyberpunk we really did get the boring

cyberpunk yeah what the hell Um And that's The fact of the day Okay Well Who has come to us with tears in their eyes

We've got tears in eyes Here we go We've got Dear Lesteries sirs with tears of my eyes And tears running down my cheetah Fersona's black tear stripes I beseech you both in your strongest of opinions My favorite guilty pleasure character Is General Grievous

In his revenge of the Sith appearance He's a useless piece of C.G.I.K. Indy and any other character, any other character a crisis could have taken his place based on how little his character changes the story. Unlike Boba Fett, a similar character, I'd argue. Rivas also isn't very popular among Star Wars fans. Yet I love his design, the concept behind his character and enjoy the fact that he exists. Is there a question in this? My question for you. Okay. Okay. Is what is your favorite guilty pleasure character, movie, video game, etc.? Is it, let me ask the question. In this scenario, is a guilty pleasure character, one that just sucks, but you love?

Like, for example, going back to Jenner Grievous, General Grievous is like, General Connobey! And then he does nothing. Yeah. And Boba Fett is like, I'm the badass. And then he gets hit in the back and then falls in a pit and is gone. Yeah. Okay, so the character is roughly pointless in movies. Gotcha.

But you just love them anyway. Yeah. Um, hmm. Hmm. I think I got a good one. Okay. So in Game of Thrones, we get the entire decade-long winter is coming, and then the Night King shows up and just dies. And just completely sucks, sure.

But he looks cool. He seems cool. He seems like he should be, like, insane. But then he just kind of dies. So, like, I do think he is cool. But at the same time, I'm like, come on, man. Like, he couldn't even, he couldn't even, like, kill somebody. Like, I don't know.

It's, again, that ties in the Game of Thrones. But, like, I do think he's cool. But yeah, he does kind of suck. I'm actively trying to avoid a video game version. But I will say my favorite guilty pleasure character in a video game is, all right. So you know in Resident Evil 8 in the village, they have Lady D, Lady Demetri. rescue who is like the fan favorite everyone loves her she is on all the covers every horny boy on the internet is like get me vampire mommy right right for me the character i love

it's such a guilty pleasure because she does nothing she does nothing there's a little tiny dull girl and in all the cut she's like i'm gonna get you and she like that right but she does nothing and the level where you fight against her it's not even against her you lose all of your items and then basically you're just like, get out of here, stupid doll. Like she's totally useless, but her scene is the scariest in the game. Right.

Because you have nothing and this weird creepy baby thing's chasing you, right? It's totally, like she adds nothing to the game. Yet I love her tremendously because she's just, again, take the time to look up, doll girl from Resident Evil 8 and you'll see what I mean, she is pointless. She's like, okay! Yeah, she's just ridiculous and I love her even though she's totally useless.

That's pretty good. I think that qualifies. I didn't want to do a game. I didn't want to do a game, but here we are. Yeah, I mean, that's the one that came to you. I feel like it's fine. Yeah, I just, man, I wish I had like a really good movie example. I just can't think of one.

Yeah. Because, yeah, grievous is like if I. You nailed Star Wars, and Star Wars I'm a Star Wars guy. So I would immediately have just started rattling off Star Wars people that are useless. Honestly, yes, like Jar Jar Binks. But more importantly, in the new one, I would say Finn, totally useless. He is. That guy serves no, he's awesome, serves no purpose in that film.

After the first movie where you're like, oh my God, is he going to be a Jedi? That man does nothing of value for the next two films. absolutely useless yeah no I thought of that too but I didn't want to do Star Wars yeah yeah there's a lot of Star Wars has a lot

yeah exactly a lot of useless stuff in it yeah even Darth Mall's kind of like he's cool but he doesn't really do a lot in the trailer he has more lines of dialogue in the trailer than he does in the movies yeah I remember being like

dude Darth Ball's awesome and then I was just like waiting. And you see that waiting for him to be cool. And that was like it. It's like, oh, okay. It's a lot of Star Wars. Again, in the new movies,

Fasma, the chrome-plated Stormtrooper. She did nothing, dude. Nothing. The coolest-looking character, pointless. Yeah, Star Wars is a lot of that. Next up, we have Dear Illustrious Seres,

they come to be with tears in my eyes and sunburn on my arms. You get to bring a Victorian child, a meal from the modern day. What do you choose and why? Oh, man. I feel like anything we brought them would blow their mind. Obviously, I would bring them one of the, like,

ridiculous fad Japanese foods. Hell yeah. You know what I mean, where it's like a corn dog, but it's coated in Cheetos and then has like a weird cream put on it? I would blow them. that kid's mind. They would be like, what even is this? Yeah. That's, that was like

my first brain thought. It was like, what if we do some wacky, like fast food item that's out there? Oh my God. Like when Hardee's used to be like, screw it, we're just going to make the grossest thing we can think of. Like the triple extra cheese bacon, halpedo

mega burger. I'd get, yeah, I'd bring that to that kid. Yeah, what was the like donut burger donut? The KFC donut. thing. Yes. Yes, the double down where it was two, the two pieces of chicken. Definitely bring the double down. Yeah, or just go to any fair in the United States. Collect all the food available, bring it to that kid. Dude, that kid might die. I don't think the digestive system even involved at that point. Yeah, that kid would lose his mind. Yeah, like at least we grew up

eating shitty food. They'd be like, what? They'd let's like fall over. Yeah, anything besides porridge would make them lose their minds. Yeah. So there we go. We just got weird fast food shit. Yep. That's their lustrous sirs. It's time for our big new story of the day.

Yep. Big new story of the day. That's my Minecraft coming through. Yep. I don't even know if that would do all in the Minecraft community. Come on, kids. Our big new story. They'd be like, this guy's weird.

They probably would He's not like Minecraft Bob No one's like Minecraft Bob That's a legend Yeah Speaking of state fairs Minnesota state fair

Dairy Princesses Get immortalized in butter Everything you just said While sounding completely insane Checks out for me Yes Location, idea, concept Yeah no that makes sense

Falcon Heights, Minnesota. It was a warm summer day, but Mallory Thorson was dressed for winter as Gary Kulzer sculpted a likeness of her head from a large block of butter in keeping with a 60-year-old tradition on the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair. Thorson, a 20-year-old from the town of Waverly, was crowned the 72nd Princess K of the Milky Way on Wednesday night, and her official duty is Hold on. I have to look up Princess K of the Milky Way.

What does that mean? I don't know what that means either. Please continue. I'm going to find our answer. All right. And her first official duty as the Goodwill Ambassador for the state's 1800 dairy farm families was to bundle up sitting a rotating glassed in studio at 40 degrees Fahrenheit, 4 Celsius, as fairgoers gathered to watch Colzer turn a 90-pound, 41-killer. block of salted butter into art. Other state fairs also feature butter sculptures. The Iowa

State Fair has been famous for life-sized butter cows for a century. A replica will be displayed at the Smithsonian Institution's Renwick Gallery in Washington. The 2025 New York State Fair butter sculpture unveiled Tuesday is a 900-pound 410 kilogram nod to the 125th anniversary of the Wizard of Oz. Sure, but in Minnesota, all 10 dairy princess finalists, Get the likeness of their heads carved before an ever-changing live audience. Each one gets to take their sculpture home after the fair, along with a bucket of the scraps. They can deep freeze their heads. They can deep freeze their heads as souvenirs or share them with family and friends,

maybe spreading some of the butter onto corn on the cob. Wearing her tiara on her head, her sash over her overcoat, and her gloves folded on her lap. Thorson said she loved the break from the nearly 80 degree heat, 27 Celsius heat, outside. But she added, it was an unreal experience to find herself at the center of attention because her mother had been taken her to the fair since she was at least three. Her mother was a Princess K-Finalist in 1996. Thorson expressed confidence that Kulser would do her justice. I have so much faith in him.

I usually don't have much faith in a lot of people because I like to be in control sometimes. The South Dakota State University students said, so it's nice to sit back, relax, and know he's going to do a great job. Colzer's fourth years, the fair's official butter sculptor. The artist, who usually sculpts with clay, said butter's different, that it's harder, more like carving stone. Temperature makes a huge difference, he said. If you're working at 50-degree temperatures, it's like clay.

40 degrees here. It's like your refrigerator, so you cut a knife into your stick of butter. It's hard and flaky. But, he said the state fair gig is super fun, even though it's a little hard working in the cold. My fingers get a little stiff. Got two layers on my hands, but you can't layer up too much

because you still need dexterity to carve. My fingers were cramping up because they were getting cold, so you take a break when you need it. I was curious how long this would take. Six to eight hours. Oh my God. Yeah.

I was like, oh, wow, he's cramping? He's spending six to eight hours? And then poor Princess of the Milky Way has to sit there or stand there. Yeah, six to eight hours. I discovered the information. Here we go. Okay.

Individual counties in Minnesota may select a dairy princess or princesses who meet eligibility requirements. These are contestants must be U.S. citizens and their parents, guardians, or siblings must be actively involved in the production of dairy products. They must also have a completed high school education, be under 24, be unmarried, and are just. judged on communication skills, personality, knowledge about the dairy industry and his products, and their commitment to dairy promotion, which I love. Then, of a hundred princesses,

Tanner selected as finalists, and they're in the Minnesota State Fair, and then a new Princess K is selected at the state fair, and then the coronation takes place the night it opens. Or I guess before it opens, the night before. Right. The Crown Princess is then tasked with being the media and public relations person for the fair for 12 days.

And it's just like, hey, you know, butter and milk are great. The thing that's crazy, I looked up, well, why is she called Princess Kay of the Milky Way? That makes no damn sense. There is nothing that explains this until there is. you know how the Brits named a boat Booty McBoatface The name Princess K

of the Milky Way was selected from over 10,000 entries in 1954 for the Minnesota Derry Princess So they just picked it It has no real meaning They just picked it because it sounds fun That

honestly makes the most sense Right, yeah I was like Princess K of the Milky Way What does that mean? Nothing. It means nothing. It is a nonsense thing they pay it because it's Bodey McBoat face.

Yeah. That is. There's like, yeah, it rhymes. Yeah. That's good. Okay. Cool. Great.

Yeah. All right. Yeah. Princess Kade the Milky Way. I guess that they were just like, well, it's Milky Way because milk and Milky Way is the galaxy. Like, okay, that's cute. What would it rhyme with? Princess K.

All right. Well, there you go. Huh. I mean, I guess it worked. It's been working. Yeah, it has clearly for however many since 1954. Yeah. Damn.

Look at that. That was a lot more in-depth than I thought it would be. Yeah. Yeah. And that's the big new story of the day. Well, that's it for us. Thanks so much for listening or watching. I haven't joined this podcast.
