And then also they were sponsored by MintMobil, MintMobile, we'll go directly to your ears and be like, hey man, it's pretty good. And you'll be like, yeah, it is good. Anyway, let's jump into this podcast. Hello, everybody, it's time for goes on Trenton. Let me sit, turn around in the morning. In the morning. Live, live, live, live, live.

Before our reporting studio, recording. Recording. Wake your ass up. It's up next, friend, in the morning. Hello, everybody. What's got to be this guy in the morning? Everybody, way, see you about, see about the tip of your feet. That's the kind of energy we're bringing today.

That's it. That's where we're at. Yep. If you're curious, that's what today is. that is what today is um how's it go good good today uh i went with my mom for like a little fun

mother sunday because she was like i need to get out of the house so we did that that was great uh did a lot of walking i think we we hit 10,000 steps by like noon if that gives you any indication of how much walking we were doing yeah it was a little shocking but it was fun but nLA right now it's almost Halloween season, so everything's kind of catered towards that, and more importantly, because Disney has a huge stake in this town, a lot of Nightmare Before Christmas stuff, which is totally fine. But I'm sometimes reminded that, you know, there's like levels of nerdatry.

We've talked about this before. There's like where we are, which is your average nerd, and then there's, you know, the step above. Yeah. Which is, like, I just want to give them a hug, be like, it's okay. I don't know what's going on, but it's okay. And I realize today that that is also the way Disney adults organize, right? There's Disney adults, which are people who love Disney, who are in their 20s and 30s and 40s and 50s or whatever. And they're your average Disney fan who likes and enjoys Disney and might dress up or go to the park or do whatever. And that's awesome, let people enjoy what they want. Like, even though I think it's weird that Nana's wearing a sweatshirt with sexy tinkerbell on it for some reason that says like I sprinkle

pixie dust like a smooch boys or whatever I don't know but you know what I mean there's that I'm not a fan of that I'm like whatever but then again there's one step above and I'm not saying it's all nightmare before Christmas fans but usually when someone's a little too much they're sporting something nightmare before Christmas and it's not like you can love Nightmare Christmas, I love Night Me Before Christmas. Right. But when you're in a public place and that like, you know, like la la la la la la la la that starts playing and you start clapping along and singing, yo, that's weird.

It's weird. It just there's nothing, it's not even October. It's just like it's a weird thing to witness in public. Yeah, that is pretty weird. And I'm like, that's pretty weird. Yeah, no, I mean, I think it's, I agree, it's one thing to be a fan of something, it's another to just be like, hey, you know what, even if somebody sings for a little bit, like, hmm, hmm, hmm, like they're humming along, but like, if you're like full, full on going out, I feel like that's the type of person that also makes a TikTok or an Instagram dedicated to that specific thing, you know what I mean? Sure, sure, yes. And that's fine. I mean, if your career is like, I'm a Disney person and I go to Disney and I do Disney things, like,

alright, I ain't gonna hate on that get your bank, but but I have always felt and maybe this is my upbringing I don't know, there's a time and place for things and sometimes it's not the time or the place to be like yourself

yeah so yeah I get that but at the same time like I don't mind actual like Disney adults or people just like going to Disney frequently and stuff like that. Oh, if we're at Disney, go nuts. I've been to Disneyland so many times and seen so many absolute, like, full on, they're having the best day of their life, dressed up, like, go nuts, I don't care.

But there's some times in places where I'm like, nope, nope, doesn't, not the place. Yeah. What else, what else did you do with your mom on the adventure? So I have a fascination, I guess, is the right word, with Nike Air Force Ones. Right. I love them. They're my favorite shoe. I think they're great.

I like them because they make them so ugly. They have genuinely some of the ugly shoes I've ever seen. I love them. I must have them. I'm a big fan of how ugly they are sometimes. However, I don't know if, remember how we talked about a few weeks back on this show about the way they're changing you know like McDonald's

and different places to make them look boring yes I think that's what's happening with Nike shoes and it's really upsetting me because they're all starting to become white and black and that's it and every time they have a new drop of like these are the brand I'm like oh cool what's this going to be and it's never cool

I want to give you an example this is what I saw today and I looked it up when I got home just so I could give you like a ha ha ha so there are promotions everywhere at the store for the Air Force One Low collaboration with Sushi Club. Now in my

mind, I don't know what Sushi Club is, but it sounds awesome. It sounds like whatever the shoe's about to look like, it's going to be amazing. One of the greatest cool combination. Like sushi plus shoe? Shushi? What's that going to be? Crendor, I'm going to send this

to you. All right. Please, if you would be so kind. Please describe to the viewers what this shoe looks like. Uh, it looks like a generic white shoe with a Nike logo on it. Yeah, and it has a stamp that says sushi club on the side and little tiny letters. Yeah. That's right. They made, this shoe is $150.

What the shit? Yep. That's insane. It is a white shoe with no identifiable marks that make it special in any way, $150. That is, like. It looks like a shoe you would pay 30 bucks for. That's what I'm saying. It looks like there are cheap Air Force ones that you can get that are just black and white.

And that's, and that's like the cheapest one. That's what it looks like. It's jarring to me that this is. So yeah, that's where I'm at mentally, spiritually, just with the world in general. I'm like, are you kidding me right now? We could have done anything with these shoes. We could have made it look like sushi. Nothing.

Yeah. No, that's... Hate it. And it's just... Even the just basic text on the shoe is like so small, you can't even see it. Like, nobody's going to see that. Nobody's going to notice that unless you point it out to them. Oh, and I believe anyone who buys this shoe is going to do that.

This is the kind of shoe that you go, check out my sushi club shoes. I don't know a damn thing about sushi club, but I do know that if you buy these shoes, you're probably, you know, wealthy enough to be the guy who brags about the shoes he just bought. No, it's definitely a collector thing. It's, uh, no, you also forgot inside the shoe, they've got a little sushi club thing on the heel. That's true. And there's a metal, um, like thing on the laces that look like chopsticks. Oh yeah, I see that, which they definitely, like it's cool, but the, the chopstick metal things are definitely like 10 cents to make or something. Yeah, that'll break it.

point yeah it's a so yeah that's kind of how my week's been just disappointment i said it before i'll say it again we're in like the crappy version of cyberpunk we're not even in the fun version we're like you get to ride a flying car and like jump off bridges and jetpack into the like we don't even have that we have lame shoes and then you can wear your crappy white shoes to your crappy beige McDonald's and get your way too expensive Big Mac that's one fourth the size of it used to be.

Now I will say they said they're bringing back extra value meals which my response was I didn't even realize they took them away. Yeah what do you mean? They're bringing back extra value. What does that mean? Yeah so if you look it up extra value meal

all right and see in the news McDonald's given its value menu another shake-up Monday return of extra value meals. So I think, I don't know what they called them. Did they just call them value meals? And now they brought back extra value meal? Like I genuinely don't even know what they were before they brought this back now. Wait, this is still goofy. An extra value meal.

So a Big Mac meal is now $8. A quarter pound At least according to this website A quarter pounder is $11 Yeah I mean still It seems pretty expensive for fast food

It does Like this is probably What it should cost normally Yeah Like I don't think there's extra value here It also doesn't make a lot of sense that like I mean it does Remember how I was saying the Big Mac got smaller

It does show you that there's like, some issue with it. Like, a two cheeseburger meal is more expensive than a Big Mac meal. Yeah, like, that is pretty crazy. Because, I mean, the only difference in those two is, like, you're adding another, like, what, bun? Or wait, no, because it would be the Big Mac has less, less buns. Same meat. I guess they're just putting sauce on it.

Like, and lettuce. but that's not that's not worth the the price like if anything it should be the same price yeah i don't uh there's no there's no value there for me the value would be if it was eight bucks and was actually good yeah like i don't there's no value there for me i'd rather have the old macdonald's back where stuff tasted like food and not just what the ketchup or mustard, whatever they put on. Like you can't, I challenge you to get a McDonald's sandwich

and just get it plain. Yeah. That sounds terrible. It's one of the worst experiences a person can have. You may as well just went to the store and bought like the frozen hamburgers out of the freezer section at that point,

because that's literally like what it is. Yeah, it's not pleasant. I bet a quarter pounder plane would be significantly better. But just a normal hamburger or a Big Mac plane, it's not a pleasant experience at all. They do see here, it says McDonald's job has been made harder by prices that can vary widely around the country. In 2024, after a Twitter post, about a Big Mac meal in Connecticut that cost $18 when viral. They called it an exception and noted that franchisees set prices for nearly all U.S. restaurants.

but if you're paying $18 for a Big Mac I mean you're paying more than like five guys at that point like that's insane yeah that really is I don't know man that doesn't make any sense to me I'm not

I will say I will say it did get caught like if they brought back things kind of the way they were then sure I might go but it took Taco Bell bringing back food from the 1990s for me to go to Taco Bell again. Oh yeah, I saw that. They brought back I got two chili cheese burritos this week and an apple or whatever there's the caramel apple

empanato. Oh yeah. And it was great. All three were delicious. And I was not, you know, the next day was rough. Right. But it was great. I loved all. I was like, yes. This I genuinely like this. Yeah. And it's, they even went with the early 2000s aesthetic too, like the, like the Y2K branding and everything Yeah, it's great I love that Yeah, I think out of all the companies

For like fast food Taco Bell is usually the best In terms of like Just not only like Giving decent prices But like doing stuff that fans Of the fast food brand actually want Like McDonald's doesn't really do that

Yes, well McDonald's has sort of We're trying to be for the family And we're trying to be like in every person food and Taco Bell very clearly decided no, no, no, stoners and people who want to get food after midnight. Yeah. And now. And honestly, it's working. And now it's for like people that are nostalgic about being stoners

or getting food after midnight from back in the day. And you're just like, man, I am here for that. Remember when we were a stoner and went to a thing and then got food at midnight, but now we just work nine to five? Have to work and have kids and a life. Yeah. Yeah. It's there. It's there for you. You're good now.

Yeah. So it's, I think Taco Bell definitely the best in terms of that. Anyway, yeah, no, I'm just disappointed in general. And I had a lovely day with my mom. And my dad, I'm sure, just sat around and watched the Steelers today. And, uh, yeah, it was fun. And I got to do that. And, um, I'm glad I did. But I also, you know, every moment I get realized that, uh, what's what's what's what's going on with the like i i i i think i finally hit that like old man i'm complaining about stuff and i just don't care phase right old man yells at cloud but i also probably been

there for years but now i'm acknowledging it i mean that's true you literally have the too old for this channel by the way i i people love that i reacted to your k-pop demon hunter thing by watching the like blurt out black and white copyright you bless you I was thinking to myself how on earth is he going to react to this I don't even know how you would do so

sure sure sure sure yeah it's listen I can react to anything that's my power that's true I'm aware I know I've seen you do it I uh yeah it's one of those things where as I was

we were trying to put it together that one took the longest to do that was like how on earth do we know and it wasn't I'm not like getting flag doesn't really bother me but getting full on like copyright striked is huge so we were trying to avoid that

and that's the best solution we could come up with so I mean it seemed to avoid it is it seemed to work we put a lot of work into it

but it the one that's on Patreon is a much better. It's literally just the movie and me without any of that stuff so it's a much better watch but yeah

the music was getting flagged the animation was getting flagged the sound effects were getting flagged there was at one point we had an upload that had I'm gonna say

out of the hour long upload 50 minutes were flag like it was just oh my God it was a lot I was like this we may not be doing big watchalongs like this

anymore I don't think that's worth. But, and we learned about six, seven. So I'm glad I learned about that. You know what? That might be the one thing that I'm like, okay, yeah, I'm glad I have this channel. It gave me a reason to know what the hell kids are talking about. Yeah.

Because it's like, okay, now I understand what six, seven. And I feel like more and more people are going to understand what six, seven is. And then that's going to become uncool. And then people move on. Yes. And I hope it, the irony of that one guy saying it was a generational meme or whatever he said. It's like, we're going to remember this to work 80. Like, okay, yeah, my dude.

Literally the equivalent of like, we're going to keep on rocking forever, forever, forever, forever, forever. Forever, forever. I did see a thing posted today on Reddit that made me laugh because it was an image of, I don't know, some gas station that had signs that said like Route 66, Route 67, Route 68, but then Route 69 was all sold out. And the comment was, you can tell that this is an old photo. And I was like, oh, I get that. Because no one bought the 67, because the kids don't get it. The kids haven't gotten to it yet. I was like, now I get it.

Now I understand. It's, yeah, I guess even in schools, whenever, they're just like, all right, kids, 67 plus. And everyone's like, he-he-hoo-hoo-hoo. But, yeah, it's, once the adults start just being like, oh, what's up, kids? It's 67. the time to 67 your homework and stuff like that then they'd be like yeah something else we gotta get something else that's that's where they failed the kids failed because there's no sexual

connotation there it's just a goofy thing and thus teachers parents any adult can use it and feel fine so they screw themselves it should have been dirty it should have been dirty yep now everyone's gonna be like hey there hey there you crazy you crazy Are you getting your six, seven on? And they're gonna be like, ah, yeah. You can't do that. You can't be like, hey there you crazy kids. You're getting your 69 on, you can't do that.

Yeah, you can't do that. They failed. The kids did not think ahead. Never do. You do anything else this week? No, not really. What'd you get up to? Let's see, what did I get up to? I'm playing Megabong. You play that?

I have not, but ever. Everyone has been telling me I need to check it out, which is worrisome. I've bonged for 13 hours now. So, um, could you explain what you just said? You bonged for 13 hours? Whenever I play mega bong, I just say I'm bonging. So I've been, I've bonged for 13 hours. I'm aware you've bonged because I saw some of your stream and it said, I'm bonkin or whatever the hell it said.

And I was like, has he gone crazy? What is happening? Well, I have been crazy for a while. So, this game, every time somebody comes in, they go, is this vampire survivors, but 3D? And the answer is kind of, yes. But it's more of a think vampire survivors mixed with like risk of rain. I don't know what that means.

All right. Well, you know risk of rain. I'm aware of it. Wait, you haven't played risk of rain? Oh, I definitely played it. I played it, but like, I didn't beat it or play it a long time because I was like, not for me. Well, vampire survivors, so in terms of like, you just get waves of enemies, they keep attacking you, right? One of those types of games.

You get power-ups, you make your character stronger, you kill more enemies, et cetera, right? Okay. Sure. But then, it's all like 3D. So you're like moving around, you're jumping, you're trying to ignore stuff. And there's also the element of like the boss at the end of the level. So there's like a 10 minute timer and then after 10 minutes the super mob spawn and they just start like attacking you and eventually just kill you So you have to kill the final boss before

That timer otherwise you're going to get overwhelmed. So You have to like get all your buffs get all your level ups go around the map get everything and then you summon the boss and then you kill it and then you can go on to the next like level or to the next tier And so pretty much that's the game It's just that loop over and over, but it's very addicting. Because there's, there's also like numerous characters you can play, numerous types of things, like all that. But basically what you're saying is it does the thing of, uh, constantly rewarding you. Yes, very much so. Honestly, the more I think about that, I don't know who the original vampire survivor guy was,

but that dude was a genius. Because it is the perfect game for. modern gamers where you are constantly ding ding ding ding ding things are popping up you're getting rewards you become more powerful you feel I've fallen for that playing that the hollow live game I don't even know a damn thing about haul live but I was like this is the greatest game I've ever played yeah it's like hollow live

but 3D understood yeah so it's also fun because it doesn't take itself seriously like one of the characters is monkey he's literally just like a monkey. One of the characters is a skateboarding skeleton that throws bones at people. One of the characters is Mega Chad. He's literally just a really buff man. There's like ninja. Like it's just got goofy characters and there's like goofy level-ups. Like one of the weapons is called, there's the banana rang. It's like a banana boomerang and it just goes out, comes back. Like it's just, it's goofy. There's a bunch of goofy shit in it. So it doesn't take itself seriously, which I love. And the the soundtrack's

amazing because it's like they have old Super Nintendo style music, kind of like Castlevania style music too. Interesting. I might have to check this out. Yeah, no, it's, I'd say it's worth checking out for at least a little bit. It's only like 10 bucks or something too, so it's not bad. So yeah, I've been playing that. All right, yeah. It's on the list. Yeah. And then Let's see, what else? Been just making YouTube videos, getting the Wow Alphas next week. So I'm getting primed on the old YouTube for that. Getting ready, going to be making a bunch of videos for the new expansion? Yes.

So they're going to have like player housing, I believe, and like the new zones and stuff. I don't know how they're doing it, but it's apparently happening next week. So that'll be fun. I'm going to do that. Can I ask you a question? You're kind of up on this. Okay. What is I saw someone mentioned they're redoing the starting experience like from level one to 90s being redone? Is that true?

Uh, I've heard rumors of that. I don't know if it's actually true. So it's like a rumor thing not like it's happening next week in alpha thing. Yeah, I don't believe they're doing that. I haven't heard anything. So I feel like they're doing it something. But yeah, I haven't heard. anything about that. I was like, I may go back and just play that to see what that's like and make a video. But if it's not a thing, then I'm not going to even attempt it. Yeah.

In fact, there's a same, Midnight new player. Oh, wait. Belliilar made a video that said Midnight's new player experience revamp is huge. So, all right,

but that's like a Belli-Lar thumbnail. That's also a Belli-Lar, so like, I don't know. The Euler has the most clickbaity thumbnails that ever were. Yeah, you really don't. That man is a master of the clickpate. I'll give him credit. Every time I see a video, I'm like, oh, no, I'm not going to do it. Yeah, it's...

Did you see you can, like, test thumbnails and video titles now on YouTube? Oh, I saw that. Yes, I was like, oh, no. The weirdest part about it is people are going to think they've not seen a video. Right? Because somebody could make one video and it'll just like, then they'll see it again, but it with a different title and a different thumbnail. I don't, I don't know how that works in the back end, but I do know that they program it so that doesn't happen. Oh, okay. Like you only get shown one. The only time it will, so if you, if you don't watch a video, then it will 100% give you a different version of it.

So like if I make a video called Crendor is Poo-Poo, but then I make a video called Crendor is Pee-Pee. then I don't know why I'm making this video. It's a weird video. If you don't like Crendor's poo-poo and you don't click it, the next time you log in or whatever, it might show you Crenor's P-Pee. And then if you click that, it won't suddenly and then give you Cren-Dor's Poo again. It will be like, all right, one of the other two. And if you click none of them, then it's like, ah, this person hates Jesse.

I see. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, so thankfully it won't give you both. But it does have like an algorithm thing that I don't, I'll be honest, understand at all. Also, I'm glad nobody clicked on those videos. You know what? You're right. But the truth needs to come out, man. The truth needs, people need to know that you are both who had to be.

I disagree. Um, so yeah, I've been prepping for that. Uh, we're actually trying to do two pointless top tens a week now. Hey, I've seen you put them out. midweek trying to pretty much i've we've hit the point where i was like you know what we could do two pointless top 10s a week one being like a side pointless top 10 and one being a main pointless top 10 so for example one of the two would be like mailboxes and then the other one would be NPCs in the middle of nowhere like we did this week so like mailbox is one where

not as many people are going to click on it obviously because it's mainly just people that really like wow and the aesthetic and kind of what I do. And then NPCs in the middle of nowhere is more like somebody doesn't even know who I am would click on that and be like, oh shit, I got to see this, right? And that is shown through the metrics of

mailboxes got 16,000 views and NPCs in the middle of nowhere is at 44,000. So it is... I mean, if we're... If we're talking metrics, I'm with you on like something for me, something for the kids, because

I too old for this immediately was like oh yeah if I want to learn about 6-7 that's going to get a certain type of viewer but if I want to watch you know a show that's popular on the internet that gets a whole lot of other viewers

and who knew who knew yep who knew which I think is the main thing of why you need the main like have your main focus of the channel because otherwise you get so many different viewers which isn't terrible, but it is if they're there for one thing

and then they don't watch anything else. Yes, yeah, that's, I think the main problem with the main Jesse Cox channel, which is I have, you know, I have a geekenders thing, I have a scared game squad thing. Like, everyone wants to watch their own thing and so they don't come back for certain things.

But if you go in with this is old man Jesse watches young kids stuff as a conceit, then it doesn't matter what I watch because the conceit is already there. have tuned in for that, which is what I'm testing, right? I'm testing whether that actually is a thing. And so far it seems to be correct, a correct assumption. Yeah, I would agree at that. So that's kind of why I'm doing that too, is just because I like, I like the

idea of being able to do my one thing that's like, hey, it's grass, it's mailboxes, it's doors, it's rocks, right, like stuff that's not going to do as well, lily pads. And then the other one is just like, things you never notice, creepiest things, things in the middle of nowhere, things underwater, like that type of shit. Yeah, that's very YouTube video. Yeah. Like, one of the things I've noticed is I'm just going to do this right now. So when I would make Scary Game Squad video, and I know someone's going to complain and

bitch and moan and tell me I'm doing it wrong, but there is no wrong. It's the internet. I'm going to just pull up a random streamer, YouTuber, whatever, who plays horror. games right right and so this is uh just some titles just some titles all right this prank went too far how did i get here we hired a lifeguard people keep trespassing this serial killer has been in my town for years i'm bad at four ranger service a serial killer stalked me at work i went to the gym at night who's stalking me who's following me selling fried rice at night is dangerous who's out outside. Yeah. And I would be like, Scary Game Squad plays this game, thinking there's some sort of SEO when it comes to like, who is going to, uh, you know, like find a video. So I'd have to include the title and have to do this and this and this. No. No. Yeah. No, it's not. Apparently it is, you want to make it as, as clickbait as possible. So like, I shouldn't have worked here.

How did I end up in this situation? Something weird is happening on this farm. A horror game about a streamer? No way. That's the way it is now, sadly. It's the same thing when we saw that one guy who used to do camera work, and he had like dancers dancing a video. And now it's like, my daughter's dating eight guys?

Yeah. And you're like, they really, the whole thing suck. So you're just going to have to get over the title. What I'm saying is the content's going to be the same. But titles and images are definitely going to change and that's just what it is. So deal with it. Yeah. And I mean, it's also one of those things where it's been like that forever. It's just YouTube has started doing it because people realized how well it works. I mean, it's happened in like newspaper, like articles, like I remember those like magazines at the grocery store.

They'd just be like, this celebrity's trapped in a cage. How'd they get out? Like shit like that. Tabloids, yeah, exactly. Like tabloids been doing that shit for forever. It just so happened that then every YouTuber was just like, hey, if those are doing it well, why can't I do it? We could probably do it better. And so they just, they started doing that. It is what it is. I mean, I don't mind it to a degree, but

they definitely go overboard with it. Crendor, again, again, I must stress. There probably is nothing wrong with any of this, but I'm at that like, I don't like change. Why are they changing this? It used to be. fine. Everything was good. No, I have to change it. That's, yeah, that's where I'm at. You're becoming my parents and probably your parents.

Although I did, I don't know, I did see my mom pay with her phone the other day and that was pretty amazing. That is pretty impressive. She was like, yeah, I'm using it for the first time and I was like, good for you. My parents have been paying their bills with checks for, I don't know how long and they were just like, they didn't get our check. And I was like, you just pay it online. and they're just like, I don't know, I just like writing checks. So now they do in fact pay their bill online for a few of their bills. Some of them, they're still, like, taking checks.

Whenever I, oh my God, whenever there's like a Packer game on and my dad does know how to get it on the TV, like when it's on Amazon Prime, and he's just like, how do I watch this game? And I'm like, all right, I have to like go to their house, be like, here, you can just use my prime account. There you go, you get on, and then just like don't touch anything

and you can watch he's like I remember back in the day you went to channel 32 all right 32 or 7 or 12 then you just got the game what happened to the numbers and I was just like I don't know I don't know what happened to the numbers

6 7 I wish I could have that same attitude of like I remember back in the day it was easier but like it really wasn't you didn't know what things were going to be on necessarily if a show changed its time slot unless we had a TV guide, you would never know. If you wanted to play video games, it was Channel 3, and that's all, like, you had to have dongles and danglers and all sorts of things hanging off your TV.

If you wanted, there was, it was hard in a different way. Yeah. It's, uh, it reminds me of, I remember watching the TV guide channel and just watching that thing scroll by. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. Oh, man, what's on here? And you're like, oh, they're showing. and Wedding Singer on TBS.

Wow. Now that you say that, you made me, because the TV guy channel, you made me think of movie phone. Does that, do you think that still exists? Do you think he's like, hello, welcome to movie phone? The showtimes in your area, there's no way that exists anymore, right?

I don't think it does. It still exists, but as an app. That's what it says. That sucks. Yeah, that's dumb. It's not even a movie phone. It's a movie app. You just go to any website and find it.

Yeah. That's the whole point. It's movie phone. Phone. Well, I guess it's on your phone, so, you know. That's true. Never mind. Close enough.

Yeah, close enough. Yeah. So, yeah, I mean, oh, you know what else? I've been watching the old Simpson episodes. That's been fun. Speaking of things from the 90s and 2000. Mainly the 90s. I, where are you at?

at? Well, I remember a few years ago, I watched seasons four through like nine and that was fun but I forgot I didn't watch season three. So I've been watching all the season three ones right now. Yeah, like there's a moment in, I want to say

season nine, maybe it's season 10, but there's a moment where you realize like, oh, this show sucks now. Yes. And I don't, like the Simpsons is great and I love the Simpsons, but it's very obvious. There's a moment where

it's about a paycheck and not about doing anything actually funny or new or, you know, written well. That happens in a lot of these shows. It's, uh, it was one of those things where you can see, like, season one and two is a little weird and kind of like...

Yeah, they're kind of fine of themselves. Yeah, they're fine themselves. Season three really does start being, like, it's getting good. Like, season three is pretty solid. Season four through eight, I would say, are like phenomenal. Season 9 is like, it's still good, but there's some, like, there's some episodes in there where you're like, okay, that was kind of bad.

And then season 10, I think, is when it really starts going down. That's kind of what I noticed. And it's like that for a lot of shows, like numerous shows. And it's usually the writers move on, stuff like that. So, but yeah, I've been watching those. That's been a lot of fun. Yeah, there's, there's an IMDB. uh average rating per season that they have and uh if you look at it season one is a 7.7 right it's you know it's good season 2 is an 8 season 3 is an 8.2 and it just keeps going up from there until it hits season 9 when it drops back to 7.8 and then ever since then it's fallen yeah no it definitely to currently in season 34 it's at a 60 a 6. a 6.

With most episodes being a high five. Yeah. But like, yes, it is, there's a few moments where you can tell like, okay, this is that whole, like, until it becomes unprofitable is what the show became. Like it is the truest of all the predictions that have come out of the Simpsons that have become true. them driving it into the ground is 100% accurate yeah like even

I'm looking at even just all the ratings in general it's like since season 10 is that season 11 and they've had like one or two like episodes that rated above an 8

in that entire time I think there's two but you go it'll like the old seasons, they've got like the numerous... They got nines in there, they got bangers. Yeah, and it's like it just shows the power of good writing because it's obvious though like when they phone it in or they're just trying to fit. It's kind of like video games that it happens with too, right?

Like you're like wow, that was such a good game and you're like the next one was pretty good and then it's the point where they're just phoning it in and they're just like, just make the game because people like it's got the brand name. People buy it, right? Madden, Call a Duty. duty like all those like genuinely looking at the scores it reminds you that all the episodes people quote are from those first 10 seasons i don't know anyone who quotes anything after that like i was looking at the top ones and one of the highest rated episodes is cape fear which is literally one of my favorite episodes where side show bob comes back it's a cape fear spoof and and they

he's like uh he's like actual grudge you one last request he's like singing the entirety of of HMS pattern four and they just say it and they do the whole song and dance and he's like very well I shall send you to heaven before I send you to hell I know almost that entire episode it's brilliant like that's the

I constantly think about that stuff because yeah the later ones I don't know a damn person who's like wow that's with me forever yeah it's um oh yeah SpongeBob was really like that the first three seasons of SpongeBob were phenomenal

and all the writers left and it was just you can watch season four episode one and instantaneously I'm like this is not the same like you can just it's like that easy to notice and it's because like so many of the shows like the simpsons but like they have layers to them and I think that's what makes it really good like they have just layers of humor there's different types of humor there's like jokes within jokes and it's like you can tell they're like having fun writing with all these ideas and then when it gets kind of bad it's just there's no layers to it there's no depth that's just kind of like here's a joke, here's a reference, here's a joke, oh, bummer dumb, he did a dumb thing, like that's all it is SpongeBob does dumb thing, like it just becomes that. Yeah, and what's crazy is that the episodes that are bad from those first 10 seasons, the ones that are of five, are the clip show episodes, which in general people don't like, and they did two of those, and that's why they're rated low. Yeah.

Literally, and what's funny is that one that I just, quoted, that's from, the words like, until it becomes unprofitable, that's from a clip show episode. And then that one stuck with me. That's, uh, the, the one that everybody quotes, the clip show is, uh, the steamed hands. The Aurora Borealis,

that's from the clip show. Yeah, that's it's, it's, ah, it's so goofy. Um, it is, it is really, it's interesting to see, I mean, with all that said, in season, they had some lame seasons

but the crazy thing is in season 33 and 34 it is some of their lowest rated episodes but also some eights again yeah that's pretty I don't even know a lot of it maybe like certain writers

different writers do different episodes or maybe they just tried something different on those episodes like who knows yeah maybe they had something to say again for those two episodes or whatever I don't know yeah plus like I think in a lot of the older

episodes and just like shows and joy like they do really good characterizations like side characters uh like one of my favorite bits is i think it was the Halloween episode where Bart sees the gremlin on the bus and then he's just like Otto there's a gremlin on the bus or on the side of the bus and Otto looks out the window and it's just Hans Moleman driving in his car and he's just like I'll take care of it Bart dude and he just like drives him off the road and he's like oh no and he's like about to crash into a tree and he's like I just made my life payment and then he barely doesn't get hit by the tree and he's like thank god he just blows up just like randomly kind of going it's like they're just when they do that whole bit they're like

stacking jokes on top of each other you can tell they're like in the writing room kind of just kind of like doing what we do or just like this would happen that'd be funny you'd be like oh man but what if this happened you go oh my god and then then you like start stacking stuff and that's like that's what makes fun writing yeah absolutely that's it's the back and forth and I think uh that it's missing now? Or, you know, maybe they're just trying to write for a different audience and we're not the audience anymore, but I don't know who is. And honestly, I think it's weird they're still making episodes. It really should have ended a long time ago. I think it's weird. They didn't. You know what's not weird? Today's sponsor Factor has got some amazing meals ready for you

Traffic is out there right now looking around. We got cars. We got so many cars. They're backed up for a while. Everybody's trying to get somewhere,

you know what I'm saying? But, you know, we're all trying to get somewhere in this life, right? No matter the place we're going. The traffic of the mind, right? The traffic of life is what we need to be talking about, not just some traffic out in your vehicle. But, you know, are we backed up?

Are we emotionally backed up? You know, we need the, we need to get on the freeway and start driving. Thank you. Are you high on shrooms right now? What's going on over there? What was that? What? Are you backed up on life?

Like, is there a traffic jamming your soul man? Is there? I don't know. I don't know. See, this is what, we're getting to the, the intricate. of the emotional state. We're really doing it. Yeah, we're really doing it. I'm so glad. Yep. And that's the traffic.

Okay, let's go to weather. We've got a weather request for Monster South Holland. This small town is located right next to the beach in the Westland region. The region is known for massive amount of greenhouse, nicknamed Glass City, growing produce such as bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, plants as well as flowers such as chrysanthemums and lilies. Uh, feels like 49 degrees, because it is 49 degrees Fahrenheit and Monster South Holland, Netherlands.

Um, humidity 95% pressure, 30.21 inches, visibility, 0.31 miles. Sunrise 7.41 a.m. sunset 725 BM. Winds at 3 miles per hour. 48 on the dew point, UV index 0, and a moon phase of 1st quarter. Checking the 10. We got Monday, 63, cloudy skies, a few sprinkles in the area, nothing crazy, 10 to 15 mile an hour winds. We got Tuesday, 62, partly cloudy, Wednesday, 62, partly cloudy, Thursday, 63, partly cloudy, Friday, 59 p.m. showers, Saturday, 62, partly cloudy, Monday, 6,000, AM showers, and Tuesday, 62 with mostly clouds and wind. This place feels like a lie. The more I look at it, it seems very lovely. Everything about it seems

very lovely however this all must be photos of summertime because everything looks green and there's a beach

and it's beautiful there's no way it's like that all year this is this is more north than London there's got to be snow like there's

I don't see those photos anywhere oh there's a carefully curated town monsters lying to us everything here looks when you're talking about

green house This is and this is you can see beautiful greenery and these amazing like beach clubs Nah, this is there's lies happening here. Yeah, I'm trying to, there's got to be somewhere Or somebody's, well, maybe if I just put it into the old Google in general, it'll show some winter pictures. Although I will say, I don't know what the hell DeWitts Gravindsonday is, but all the food that looks great. It looks delicious and also you can just just order a, this is, honestly, this might be my vibe. You can order a bunch of beer and then just a plate of bread,

like multiple different types of bread and then butter's to spread on the bread. That is pretty great. And I would be, I could be so happy. Yeah, that sounds fantastic. Dude, I even typed in Monster South Holland and got nothing. And I typed in Snow. and I don't get anything from that

it's just I don't see it it's crazy maybe they are hiding they got Hugvelet Hoogvlet whatever that is and that's a grocery store but all the outside images are beautiful

and sunny this I don't believe this this is pretty insane like you would think yeah I can't I can't every photo is beautiful All right, I'm going to click this park

And certainly the park will have a snowy Nope, nope, nope, nope, It's all like lily pads and trees and forests And kids playing And one thing that appears to be a wicker man I don't know what the hell that's about Flowers, not one Like, there's nothing here to signify

This place experiences winter It says during December Their average temperatures are like 40 degrees so I mean it does get cold is that yeah I don't I just don't understand but maybe

it's magical because it's right in the water and has some sort of like England takes all of the snow it I don't know like this is really weird the fact that there is maybe it's because people only go here when it's warm so they only take pictures when it's warm everyone else

maybe that maybe that's it yeah maybe that's got to be it like why would you take a picture of the snow. But surely someone has and would post online. Or a restaurant. Like you would go to a restaurant because there's restaurants they have outdoor seating, right? So you would think, okay, well during the winter

where do you sit? But there's no evidence that, like, do they close in the winter? What is, what is how? What is going on in a monster? Maybe they do close in the winter. That would probably make sense. Nobody's going to go to the beach in winter. Yeah, I have no no answers. None. I found a Chinese restaurant.

where there's a giant window and I'm so psychotic about this right now that I'm looking through photos of couples having dinner to see if I can see outside the window if it's snowing in the window. Like I'm detective working this.

Like hold on. I may not need a photo of the outside. Is there any snow at all? There's got to be what if I... And there isn't. They're just not. Hold on.

Does the fishmonger, hold on. has got to have nothing not one snowy photo this seems it's see it is this am i being conned what's happening right now it's got to be somebody that lives around they're near there's been there that that knows please let us know in the comment section surely surely it can't half the restaurants just have outdoor seating so where's the dude i'm i can't look at this anymore i'm going to go crazy. I'm going to lose my mind. It feels like I'm being I'm being played by the entire Netherlands. That's the weather. All right, let's go to sports. Sports. We've got sports, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports. Sports, sports. So over in sports, we currently

got the NFL happening right now. We got Packers up 13 to 9 on the Cowboys approaching halftime. beating the Vikings, Falcons beating the commanders, the bills, beating the saints, the lions, beating the Browns, Patriots beating the Panthers, Giants beat the Chargers, Eagles beat the Bucks, Texans shut out the Titans, Rams beat the Colts, Jaguars beat the 49ers, the Chiefs beat the Ravens, and the Bears beat the Raiders, and the Seahawks beat the Cardinals. But over in baseball, we've got the playoff set. This was the final, day for baseball regular season. So we've got the playoff set, which will be

wild card games, tigers, guardians, Padres, Cubs, Red Sox, Yankees, Mamma Mia, that's going to be a good one. And Reds, the Hudgers. And then the Blue Jays, Phillies, Mariners, and Brewers all get buys, so they get to skip the wild card round. And then, uh, e, it's sports.

Okay. What's our fact of the day? Back of that day, day, that, da, da, da, da, da, da. Bat. Bada da da, ma'da, ma' da, bap. What song was that going to be? You definitely, there was a, there was, it had like, uh,

I don't know, like a donkey Kong. Something was happening there. Sometimes I just make up my, there was a Kirby song in there. Sometimes I make up my own songs based on everything that I've listened to, so it could just be a blend of all those that you mentioned. Yeah, there was a little Kirby, is what I'm saying.

Yeah, no, there definitely was a little Kirby in there. Your nails grow faster in hot summer. Why is this? This is probably due to the increased blood supply to the fingertips. It could also be because you're less stressed while on holiday, so less likely to gnaw them away.

I feel like the blood supply makes the most sense, though. Yeah, I don't, the stressed one, I feel like is very specific. Someone out there that related to them a lot. But for most people, I don't think that's accurate. Yeah.

It does say here that the blood supply seems to be the most likely one. So then it shows a guy that has like super long fingernails, which always freak me out. They look like, you know those like fireworks, people with light and then they're like really long, like the snake ones? they look like that like they're just freaky so so what you're saying is this is okay

you had me very curious because it I when I think long figure nails I think like you know like ladies with like long tips right yeah you're talking about those images of like man doesn't cut nails for 25 years and they're like curl around and get weird you're talking about that I was trying you're like oh it's so creepy it looks like fireworks I'm like what are you talking about. Now I know. Yes. Yes. Yeah. No, yeah. The ones like curl around. Like, why? Why are you doing that? I don't get it.

That's your fact of the day. Great. Good fact. What? Oh, no, no, no. What? Who? Who has come to us? I was not to say, what has come to us with tears in their eyes? That opens it up to mothmen and big feet and all sorts of creatures. I'd rather keep it human. Who has come to us? with tears of their eyes.

Dear illustrious sirs, with tears of my eyes, reminiscing on the 13 plus years of watching you both, I wonder, who is someone you collaborated with 13 years ago, possibly from TGS Polaris Days that you wish you collaborated with more today? Oh, uh, mark a plier, I'd be rich. That, that is very true. Like, other than that, I collaborated with everyone I wanted to collaborate with.

So I got no, you know, I was grateful and thankful that every single person I got to do videos with I got to do videos with and that was most people except Mark and I want to be rich so yes that

yeah I mean thinking back on it I mean I think I pretty much collaborated with most people I wanted to collaborate with like the thing was like we didn't really have

that many people in Polaris you know what I mean so I was just kind of like for events and contest and stuff like we we would just cram us all together yeah they would cram us all together

so it was just kind of like you got to work with everybody at some point like I always said I got the I got the cute take out PewDie Pie and smite like I've literally killed PewDie Pye in a video game so like I've played with like a whole bunch of people

oh I have an update I'd like to do more with the Arcs cast they're all great guys I love hanging out them, they're all very nice, and I'd be rich if I had. That's it, you know what? Yeah, we actually should have did more Yogs cast stuff. You know what? I think... We should have done more Minecraft, yeah, we'd be rich. I woulda, I would have just started a show with Sips. Maybe that's what I would have started one years ago with Sips.

Yeah, that's good. Um, so there's that. Then we've got Dear Lustreus, sirs, with tears in my eyes and emptiness in my stomach, I come searching wisdom, disregarding any special effects, no magical healing or transformations. Which fictional item of food would you most like to try for yourself? Ooh. Oh, um, that's. I want to know what lambas bread tastes like. I have to know.

I imagine it tastes. Terrible. But they're like, no, this is awesome. And it fills you up and keep you going for like days or whatever. That's a good one. I would want to try the food in Monster Hunter. So like I would just love to try it and see if it actually is delicious. Because it looks delicious, but sometimes you never know. Maybe you try it. You're like, oh, it's actually not that good. But it looks really good. That's the problem I have with Monster Hunter And, you know, there's another game Like Final Fantasy 15 had really great looking food But with that said, just like Monster Hunter for me

That's just food you can get anywhere really Yeah You know, like in Final Fantasy 15 They were like, I made you a pizza And it looked delicious and like a real ass pizza But like you could get that in real life You don't got to play a video game Like you know

Or a reed Oh, ooh, ooh The Gargle Blaster from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Gargle Blaster Whatever they Whatever that drink is called The Gargle Blaster

That like Is the craziest drink ever I want to try that too Yeah You know what I'd like to try The World of Warcraft Beer-based and Boar Ribs

And I know people would be like Credor you can It's in the Wow Cookbook No I want like Actual you're sitting The one from that world Yeah from that world Like you're in the Caranos in

You had a beer And then some dwarf is like Oh yeah and brings you the beer-based and bore ribs. Like, that's what I want. You want the experience. You want to have that moment where you're in the tavern. Honestly, and I mean this, it changes it.

When I was at this Witcher event years ago, this is like 2015, maybe. They took us out in the middle of the woods and in a cabin. There were sausages hanging from the ceiling, like big steaming piles of, like bowls of soup. And being able to take a knife and cut from meat hanging above you

changes the game you feel like this is the best meat you've ever had drinks are flowing people are drinking meat like I don't even need meat in my life but here we are and I'm like eight cups in and I'm eating like bread loaves that are piled on top of it

that's yeah it's the experience I'm with you those ribs would be the best ribs you ever ate exactly so yeah that's what I picked and that's the dear illustrious serves What is our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day, they, day, day, day. Day.

Day. Aggressive squirrel sends two people to ER in California City. I have many questions and hopefully I'll have answers. I see they posted a sign of a jump. Swirl and it says, this is not a joke. More than five people have been attacked by a very mean squirrel over the past few days on Diablo Circle and Mount Lassen. Shut up. On Diablo Circle.

That's a demonic squirrel, dude. It definitely is. Demonic squirrel. Residents of San Francisco Bay Area are on a lookout for an aggressive squirrel that has sent two people to the ER for medical treatment. Joan He Black told ABC affiliate K-Go TV that she was walking in the Lucas Valley neighborhood. of San Rafael when a squirrel seemingly came out of nowhere and attacked her leg, clawing and biting. Clamped onto my leg, the tail was flying up here. I was like, get it off me. Get it off me. They said. Isabel Camp Boy also said she was attacked while walking in the same area.

The squirrel launched itself from the ground to her face and wound up on her arm, leaving it bloody. She said both women went to the emergency room. The TV station reported on its Monday story. Flyers have now been posted warning residents that the squirrel, is no joke, and more than five people have been attacked by the very mean squirrel. Vanessa Potter of Wildcare, a wildlife rescue organization, said that the aggressive behavior likely comes from the squirrel being fed and cared for by humans when it was a baby. She said squirrels are not vectors for rabies. Experts say the public should not feed wild animals for this reason.

City manager, office, did not merely return a phone call so you can comment, and San Rafael is in Marin County about 20 miles north of San Francisco. has asked any questions, what did the women look like? Were they similar in build? Did the squirrel attack them because it looks similar? Or did they remind them of their owner? Former owner maybe or whoever? Like, what about them?

Do the squirrel think, that's what I need to attack? That person has snacks for me. Oh my God. What is this image? There is. Yeah. Crendor just sent me the attack squirrel. Beware.

This is not a joke sign, but it has a photo, what appears to be a stock photo, of a lunging squirrel. Yeah. This is incredible. Highlighted. Highlighted is the phrase, this squirrel comes out of nowhere and will attack. They're like hyping this squirrel up in a way that you shouldn't. This squirrel comes out of nowhere. Yeah, that is

That is Honestly The image they used Looks less like an attack squirrel And more like a character That would be on like Chippendale Yeah, it actually Like he's flying through the air

Like I got you buddy Yeah, he looks like he's going to help This is a happy squirrel Yeah They should have taken a squirrel They should have given demon eyes or something Yeah, that's what I was going to say Made them demon eyes

Like all the demon features Give them like Dablo ones Yeah like fangs Yeah, like blood coming out of his mouth You know, like made him really nasty looking They missed out And that's the big news

Also, people are Raised, I just People are raising squirrels still Remember that lady? I don't know if that was a real story I feel like it wasn't The lady who trained squirrels to attack her husband Oh yeah, that's right

I think that ended up being Not true But I actually don't remember No. Honestly, it seemed true, and that's good enough for me. But this, this I feel like, their one thing is that it was probably raised by a person in Fed. Yeah. Like, that's a hell of a stretch.

I don't know how they arrived at that. Did they say how they arrived at it? No, they just said it. Yeah, like, does that make them, I guess they're not afraid of humans, so they'll be like, I'm hungry, I'm going to attack or something? Like, I don't know. I don't know. I have no clue.
