Starting point is 00:00:00 Today's episode is brought you by Raycon. Raycon has got some earbuds for your ears. Let's jump to this podcast. Hello, everybody. It's time for goes on Freddoll. This is Predondon in the morning. In the morning. Broadcast them live, live, live, live, live.
Starting point is 00:00:21 In 4-hour reporting studio, recording. Recorded. Wake your ass up. What is up next, Crenner, the morning? Hapoo-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-d-cring. Hello, everybody, who likes, anyone's on a Gax and Cren-Dar in the morning. Well, that was like a...
Starting point is 00:00:39 That sounded like you're going to go crazy, but you actually pulled it off. Thank you. I like to keep them guessing. Yep. That's what you're all bad. I don't want them ever to know how I'm going to do the intro. Is it going to be good this time?
Starting point is 00:00:47 Maybe. You'll never know. Yep. It's define good. Better than bad. Okay. Um... How are you doing?
Starting point is 00:00:57 Fine. I'm all right. Yeah. That's good. That's better than bad. Exactly. That's really what we're going for this entire episode. It's better than bad. Yeah. I was, uh, I mean, did you just work all week? What'd you do? I, I 100% just worked all week. I wish I could say I did something fun and exciting, but I didn't. I even got an invite to go to a special, uh, like Halloween spooky event. but I looked at where it was
Starting point is 00:01:28 versus where I was and how far it would take to get there and I was like, no, the spookiest thing is the drive time. I was like, no, I'm all right. I don't need to do that. That does sound like the most your past 30 thing ever. I just, there's nothing, there was nothing on the other end.
Starting point is 00:01:46 You know what I mean? Like, I could get there and then what? It wasn't like a party where I would go and I would know people. It was like an event where I would go and maybe stand the chance of recognizing a person I've seen online. Yeah. And I was like, and, you know, no one that I know friend-wise was even available to go.
Starting point is 00:02:08 So I was like, no, I'm not going to do this. I don't care. But it could have been fun. I'm always up for a good scary night. But, yeah, I wasn't going to just go by myself and be like, I could do anything. I could do anything else, you know? Yeah. That also sounds like every convention now where, like, it used to be like,
Starting point is 00:02:26 I'll go there and I know everybody and it'll be fun and like, hey, it's you, it's now it's like, I don't, I don't know anybody at these things. And so it's, and everybody we know isn't going either because they also don't know anybody and they're old. Yeah, I was going to say, I think most of the time, when I was at Pax, I had a great time, but with that set, conventions, that whole COVID, that's like, you know, I was 2019, was the last conventions I went to and it's been six years somehow. And so, and in that time, I didn't go to a lot of conventions.
Starting point is 00:02:59 And now that I'm going to them again, yeah, no, it's, the audience has changed. I think a lot of people who are in their, like, 30s were like, no, I don't need to go to conventions anymore. I don't want to get sick. I've been to conventions before. So it's a lot of younger people, which is fine, because I still have some fans there somehow. So I'm like, all right, hey, hey, hey, they get you crazy kids. I think I knew maybe three people all packs, but I did meet a bunch of new people.
Starting point is 00:03:25 And that was very fun. I made some new friends. That is cool. It's one of those things where if you can be like, I remember this convention from 10 years ago, people are going to be like, what? I'm like in my early 20s or mid-20s. Then you're like, oh, God.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah. Oh, no. I will say, I'm excited to be back in like the convention circuit. And I think the next one I'm going to is in January for Magfest, and I love Magfest. I didn't get to go last year. But this year, I've won 100, going and I'm very excited.
Starting point is 00:03:58 It is a blast. Although it is in Washington, D.C. And so that may or may not be there. I don't know. We'll find out. I do like or I do enjoy the convention atmosphere. Like even when I go to the like Warhammer convention stuff like that. It is nice just like walking around just seeing booths, seeing like, you know, people just having a good time like browsing around.
Starting point is 00:04:20 I don't know. It's just there's something about conventions that is pretty nice. that's the that's the one problem I have right now where I want to go to more conventions but I want to go kind of as just a dude going to a convention rather than I have my name down as media and then I spend the next three weeks being contacted by everyone there to come see their thing which is flattering and I love that but then it becomes work and I have no more oh I'm going to wander around and if I see someone I can talk to them for an hour and not have to stress you know yeah but but at the same time
Starting point is 00:04:54 At the same time, if you go there for funzies, you might see something, you're like, wish I could play that, like, sorry, sir, four hour wait. If only I had done media, you know what I mean? You're like, oh, four hours. If I had a media badge, I could get in. Yeah, so it sucks. I want the best of both worlds. Sorry to interrupt.
Starting point is 00:05:14 No, it's fine. I was just going to say, that's why I just want to start, I want to do the thing where, like, I pick a few random-ass conventions nearby. Like, they'll always be like, we got the shoe convention. We have, like, the pinball convention. We have, like, the backyard necessities convention. Like, we'll show off hot tubs and, like, camping gear. Like, I just want to go to those weird-ass conventions and just walk around.
Starting point is 00:05:41 I want to go to the ones that are like, self-defense convention. Or, like, tactical gear convention. The ones that I just have no clue what would be inside them. Yes. Yeah, that's kind of what I want to see, too. I know, like, last year there was like a, in the summer, it was like a Lego convention. Like, they got a whole bunch of conventions. Just we're in the gaming space. So it's just like, oh, where's the gaming stuff?
Starting point is 00:06:07 But like, there's some wacky conventions out there. Like, I see an antique convention. That'd be a fun one. There's got to be like a convention for first time writers. I would love to see what that's like. Because I imagine most of them would be self-published, like aliens abducted me writers. And I'm so excited to talk to them. Like, what happened to you?
Starting point is 00:06:27 What do you mean? The aliens got you? How? Yeah. Yeah, I didn't enjoy that tremendously. You just want to be the coast-to-coast AM host. I just want to, I'm a big fan of people telling me their stories. I love listening to a good story.
Starting point is 00:06:42 And somehow, if this was, I don't know, a decade ago, I would have had no tolerance for this. But now, the crazier your story, the better. yeah if you're telling me a story exactly exactly yeah if you tell me your story i will listen and if it ends up insane i'm even more here for that yeah no it's uh that's the that's the best part is like hearing people that's why i always enjoyed doing my fishing with krendor interview show because you just like learning about people and all their stories but yeah when you get crazy stories that's the best because then you're like yo what's going on here yeah i don't even I don't want to necessarily believe it, but I am there for the ride.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Yeah. I will you take me wherever we're going. I am excited. Yeah. So yeah, that's, yeah. Oh, speaking of getting sick, I didn't get sick. But I got my flu shot, and then a few days later I got my COVID shot. Ah, welcome to the club.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Yeah, because I was like, you know what? Last year, it was a year ago, Sonic the Hedgehog gave me COVID. And I was like, you know what? I don't want that again. And if I do, I want it to not be as bad. I'm telling you. Yeah, I did both flu and COVID same day. Aside from just being very sleepy, next day totally fine.
Starting point is 00:08:11 I, the flu shot didn't do anything. It made my arm hurt a little bit. And I was like, yes, my arm were for like four days. I was like, what the hell? Yeah. But then a few days later, because I was like, you know what, I'm going to space it out a little bit. So a few days later, I got the old Kovie, I got the other arm, felt fine.
Starting point is 00:08:28 And then at night, I was just kind of like, oh, I'm feeling a bit sick. That's, you know, whatever. And then I proceeded to wake up every couple hours just like, I'm hot, I'm cold, I'm achy, I'm tired. And then like the entire next day, I was just fatigued. My lymph nodes were like, boing, boing. As in like, that's a problem. Boing is a problem. Yeah, it's in there fire.
Starting point is 00:08:52 off. So yesterday I was like, oh, but then today I woke up and I was like, oh, I'm good. Arms still hurts a bit, but it's not too bad. All it did was knock me out. I got it early in the morning and then I slept so long that I remember we were going to do something that day, like watch a movie or something.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Yeah. And yeah, no, I slept. You message me. I don't know when I responded to you, but I was way after the fact. I was like, no, dude. I can't. And then next day, totally fine. I mean, yeah, I guess everyone kind of responds differently to it but um yeah i was not i was no problems here but my arm did hurt for a few days and i was
Starting point is 00:09:30 like i try the way i sleep it just happens to be the the arm they shot me up in was the arm where i was like that's what the arm i sleep on usually so every morning i wake up with the arm would even more sore i'm like why do that so yeah i probably made it worse yeah so it's uh i was like yeah but Overall, I'm glad I did, because I wanted to get it ahead of the live show, too. Big same. Yeah, exactly. That's why I did it. I was like, I'm not getting sick.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Yeah, so then poster woman got hers because she's going to a wedding in like a week and something. So I was like, yeah, you're going to be the airport. Now it's like, dude, October, November. Like, we hit the people are dragging their germs all over. Yeah. Yeah. No, thank you. Yeah, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Although, did you, did you get it done like a pharmacy or whatever? you go to a doctor's office? Uh, I got my flu shot at the doctor's office, my other one at the pharmacy. Yeah, I like doubled up at the CVS down the street for me. I was like, yeah, hook me up. But, uh, in front of me was this couple. I'm not sure how many shots you can get, but the husband got so many. She had six needles for one side, one arm and six needles for the other arm.
Starting point is 00:10:51 What that? It's like they're going into the military or something. That's what I'm saying. I don't know what the hell is going on. But even when I got there, they were like, well, we have two other shots you can get if you want it. I was like, no, just the flu and the COVID's fine. And they're like, okay. They made me feel like I was in the wrong for nothing.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I guess they were free? I don't. Dude, I don't know what I was like, no, no, I'm fine. And then I sat down and I watched the couple in front of me get way too many shots to the point where the, uh, the doctor was like, we could do them all in one arm if you want. And I was like, what would that even, what would that cocktail in his arm be then at that point? Yeah, that's wild. That would have been 12 separate shots in one arm.
Starting point is 00:11:33 You might as well just take the arm off. I was like, what the hell? I know my dad said when he, uh, when he went into the Navy or whatever, they gave him like 12 shots as well. They were just like, all right, get over here. Then they was like, give him 12 shots. And they're just like, all right, get out of here. And you're like, okay. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Sometimes you travel to different countries, they'll give you some crazy shots. I think they used to do that a lot more. I don't remember, like Australia, for example, I know that years and years and years ago you had to get a thing. But when I went in like 2017, I don't think I got a shot. I don't remember it. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know what the rules are for various getting shots for traveling. I know it used to be a thing you would do frequently.
Starting point is 00:12:23 But, uh... Especially nowadays. I mean, that's probably true. Yeah. But, you know, yeah, I'm happy at that. Then, uh, let's see. We also went out to eat for Toast Woman birthday. Oh, happy birthday toast.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Yep, so that was good. I also, every year I'll play a game she wants me to play on stream for a birthday. So this year we played Sims busting out for the Game Boy Advance. The two of you played together? Well, no, I just played. Ah, okay. That was so cute if the two of you played together, but no, she just forced you to play. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Yeah. But she wants me to play until dawn. But I was like, I think that's too long to play in one stream. So I was just going to do an until dawn stream at some point. So I've never played it, never watched anything on it. Oh, man, I can't wait for you to play that. That game is one of my favorites. But also, uh, I know,
Starting point is 00:13:19 you will die ridiculously. I'm ready for it. I can't wait. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm gonna play that. It'll be fun. Everyone in the chat was like, Crendor until Dodd. Um, so we did that. I've been doing my, uh, midnight alpha stuff. That's been fun covering all that. I do the hard hitting videos. You have the people like, how's the PVP? How's the systems? How's this? And I'm just like one hour of me exploring Silver Moon cities every single new thing. Like I go into every nook and cranny. Like I'm doing the hard-hitting explorative facts than nobody else can do.
Starting point is 00:13:52 I did videos on both the Alliance and the Horde neighborhoods where you can put your housing and stuff. Alliance one is fantastic. I think the Horde one's okay. I feel like they could have added more options. Was 100% going to be just okay. The minute they showed off the housing stuff,
Starting point is 00:14:08 just in photos alone, I was like, yeah, the Horde's getting screwed. Yeah, it's not even like it. I just could tell. Because like, for example, the Alliance one, it's like a big kind of hodgepodge island of different biomes and stuff
Starting point is 00:14:24 so the alliance have like an old one forest area but you also have like a beach area and then you've got like an atumnal area then you got like a duskwood spooky area and then you got like the the mountains you're up in the mountains so I was like okay like you got a lot of variety where you could put your house but then Horde is like
Starting point is 00:14:40 do you like Duratar mixed with the Echo Isles and you're like I don't know maybe and they're like well that's like 75% of it and then there's like Asshara And I'm like, okay, I'll build my house And asshara, that's pretty cool But that's like, I'm like, where's the Barrens?
Starting point is 00:14:55 Like, I feel like they missed out their opportunity Had like the, the Safari Barron's like kind of area And it, there's like one small little section That has that vibe, but I'm like they could have made that At least like a 20% Like, you know, a little bit And then it just felt like maybe they could have put Winter Spring or some kind of like snow biome
Starting point is 00:15:13 In the North or something I feel like they missed out with that But you know, I'm I still like some of the areas they've got. I almost, almost made a video because I saw a bunch of people, by the way, also your description
Starting point is 00:15:27 of the game is exactly the way Preach described it when I was talking with him about it. He's like, I mean, it's wow. And I was like, okay. So any hype I'm feeling there's no difference. It's just because it's new. Gotcha. Understood. But yeah, I was looking at a bunch of videos being made
Starting point is 00:15:44 and most of them were along lines of like, why is the horde feel like it's lacking? And why is this? And why is this? And why is this? And I want to just, and it was people being like, Blizzard has stopped caring about the horde as a faction. And I want to make a video that was like, I don't know
Starting point is 00:15:59 they ever really cared. I just want to be like, travel back with me, if you will, to Vanello Wow and how most of the horde zones just weren't even finished. How there was a bunch of things that weren't done. How the Lions had an actual story.
Starting point is 00:16:15 involving the king and, you know, a Nixia, and they had a whole thing, and the line, the horde was like, well, you can grind. Yeah, there, there's that vibe to it. I get that. But, but here's the thing, even with all that, the player housing itself is really good. Like, I've been, I've been playing around with it. It's fantastic. Yeah, it has that blizzard feel to it, where everything's just simple. You can be like, put this here? No, I don't. Delete it. Okay, put this here, good. Okay, twist, like, everything is, like, so easily controllable. Like, it's fantastic. Yeah. Oh, I don't doubt at all that it's great. It seems like they've taken everything from all the other player housing and games and like perfected it, which is exactly what they do. And they do it well. Yeah. And that's that's the Blizzard thing. It's like if you can do it, they can't. Well, a lot of the times they can. Sometimes they can't. But this one they definitely did. So I'm very happy. Like player housing alone is worth if you like player housing and that type of thing, it's worth playing wow a gun for.
Starting point is 00:17:13 We shall see what it does to the community, though. I'm very curious what happens because one of the big things about player housing is, you know, once you have a place to hide away, then your city starts to look empty. Well, that affects player retention. That's why they added neighborhoods, right, so that you have this community vibe. It's not like garrisons because with neighborhoods, you're living with your guild members and you're living with your friends and, like, other people. And they have community neighborhood events that allow you to, like, build up your housing reputation.
Starting point is 00:17:43 you get more rewards you get all this stuff so I think they thought of that and they're like how do we get people to like actually come out of their house and interact with other people and do thing and I think that's their way of doing it I'll make the assumption that Orgramar for example or you know stormwind are still highly populated but I would imagine
Starting point is 00:18:01 like all MMOs whatever the newest expansion that hub is the one that usually has people in it so like it doesn't particularly matter yeah no it doesn't matter as much anymore plus you have like you have mounts that have auction houses on them and stuff like you know it's always been that way you never really had to go back to town but you would do it to kind of like vibe and chill yeah yeah but that's kind of still people vibe and chill i mean they you still have to go to town to get like your you know daily
Starting point is 00:18:27 quests or like your overarching stuff like trade uh the monthly like trade vendor thing you're like there's there's still things you have to go to the town for but it's not as impactful as it used to be uh so that's overall a pretty uh pretty uh yeah i'm Yeah, it's wow, but wow with player housing. Which is something people have wanted for over a decade. Oh, yeah, probably since Wow came out. They literally gave everyone a, they were like, here, have a makeshift version. And that was a decade ago.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Yeah. I mean, I remember like Star Wars Galaxies back like 2005. I don't want to talk about that. I don't have Star Wars Galaxies. I've never, that game, I hate it. hate it. Why? For the player housing.
Starting point is 00:19:17 I've told you this. I was in like one of the biggest imperial guilds at the time and we were just plowing through, you know, getting all the rep and all the materials and all the everything we needed. And in the middle of this like really populated area, we built an imperial base. But because it was so populated, one of the walls didn't spawn in and the rebels immediately destroyed it 60 seconds after it was spawned. it was a waste of like three weeks of life and the GMs or whoever was running it was like yeah sorry we can't do refunds and I quit I quit that day
Starting point is 00:19:58 I was like no I'm done yeah that's actually insane yeah that's like so many of those old MMRP thing had like the shittiest systems where they're just like you die you lose everything this thing happens you'll lose everything it's just like yeah just no forget
Starting point is 00:20:13 gave this. I mean, it was punishing for the sake of being punishing because that's how they made it difficult. Yeah. Because old MMOs are not hard. Everything's like a, you know, like a bullet sponge and does a bajillion damage to you. Yeah. There's not really like good mechanics on old MMOs. Yeah. Um, let's see. Oh, I've been playing a Legion remix. That's been fun. I'm having a good time with that. It's just Legion. but like crazy kind of it's like you get more
Starting point is 00:20:48 well it's like you get bronze and you can use bronze to buy things from legions you can buy like toys you never got or like mounts you never got plus they've added a bunch more stuff and then you just kind of ramp up so like the entire premises you get stronger and stronger and stronger and then by the end
Starting point is 00:21:05 everybody's just like going crazy uh so it's it's kind of like a, just like a fun, like, power trip version of playing the expansion. Love a good fun power trip. That's never, that's never bad. Yeah. In fact, there was like, that's why people like missed the Pandaria remix when they did it. And I was like, yeah, it was cool. And then Legion remix, like in the test servers, they were like, what if we make it not like that? And everyone was like, that's why people like it. And they're like, all right, never mind. We'll make it like that. It's like, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Like, sometimes I don't know what they're thinking. There's like, I know people played it because of this reason. What if we changed it? And you're like, what are you doing? So, yeah, that's been fun. Oh, and then, of course, I don't know if you're still bonking. But I'm bonking way too hard. I'm bonking, but you all bonged harder than me. I have the friends list up where you can see who's playing.
Starting point is 00:21:57 I'm still last place. I don't play nearly as much as everyone else. Watching the playtime, I'm like, I can't. I'm not even going to try to compete. Yeah. No, now it's, I'm just competing with. Invicta for who can bonk harder. You guys bonged too hard.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Bonging is out of control. It kind of is out of control. I've become almost a metabonker. Not like full metabonk, but like I do, I'm like experienced home. Do I lucked home here? No,
Starting point is 00:22:25 cursed Tom to get the difficulty, pop the difficulty, get the mobs. All right, we grind. All right. And then yesterday, Sinvicta's high score was
Starting point is 00:22:34 108,000 kills. I got 127,000. And then he was like, I can't let Krundor beat me. So he got 160-something thousand. So we are truly in a... You're in something. An obsession.
Starting point is 00:22:52 A bonk battle, if you will. Yeah. You are out of control. Watching the scores, I'm just like, no. No, I'm all right. Yeah, no, it's... But here's the thing. I'm still having a great time.
Starting point is 00:23:05 I've unlocked every character. I've unlocked pretty much all the... items pretty much everything all the stuff now it's like just getting skins and everything but i don't know man i just i love that game it's such a good game uh i've it's incredibly fun i mean it's like it's simple and fun and that's all i can ask yeah except when the 3d environment absolutely screws me and there's nothing i can do to stop it yeah there's just there's certain times you just kind of get screwed over or like certain runs you just have a bad start that's just like yes but like when i jump and then i land on an enemy and the game like consistently bounces
Starting point is 00:23:43 me off the enemy until i'm dead yeah that's not even fair but it happens yeah no that's uh that's why usually i like taking aegis every run it gives you some defense uh but it depends sometimes you know and i have to uh it's i don't know i've gotten 98 of the 102 achievements so i only four more achievements okay hot shot yep i'm a i'm a bonker if you will like master bonker You are. And I, yeah, you megabonk, and I'm here for that. Yeah, I'm not going to break the leaderboards, but, yeah. I do want to just beat Sinvicta.
Starting point is 00:24:18 That's what it boils down. I mean, who does it? Yeah, yeah. So that's been fun. I mean, that's pretty much, I think, all I've been doing. I did have the thought while watching TVs. Yesterday, I was just like, don't feel good. So I was just watching, like, sports TV.
Starting point is 00:24:36 I realize that TV commercials, especially in the fall, I think because this is when all the new shows would happen back in the day, have like a certain vibe to them. They just kind of hit differently. What do you mean? What about it? What hits differently? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:53 It's like the, I feel like they're probably the same commercials, but I feel like the timing of being at the fall with like all the, I don't know, there's something about commercials on TV specifically at this time period where you're just like I don't even mind them being in the background I don't want to watch them and like pay attention is what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:25:13 oh no we I strongly disagree with you on that it's I am broken by commercial free everything and when I see commercials I get irate I'm like how dare they advertise to me especially on services I think because I'm paying
Starting point is 00:25:33 for stuff if you give me an So a great example is HBO, right? Whatever the hell we call that, HBO now, HBO Plus, HBO Alpha, whatever the hell it's called. Before shows start, they give me ads for other HBO shows, and even that upsets me. I'm like, how dare you? You are one of two streaming services I have now. I've gotten rid of everything else, and you give me ads, HBO? And HBO's like, but it's for another show that HBO runs.
Starting point is 00:26:03 I'm like, too much. I will not have it Oh my god You know what I hate I hate when these streaming services Are like You can pay us to watch things But you'll get ads
Starting point is 00:26:15 And it's like what's the point And they're like But you can pay more for no ads And it's like Right Right It's so dumb The fact you have to pay
Starting point is 00:26:23 To watch the thing with ads Like that should just be free That's so stupid But I guess people pay it So it's like They know what they're doing Let's see I'm trying to think of the
Starting point is 00:26:34 streaming services we have. We have Crunchyroll. We have the Disney Plus because we were watching a bunch of Disney movies. I was watching The Simpsons and they got all that. And then I was like, I'm going to cancel Disney Plus. We're done. And then they're like, do you want like three months for $5 or some shit? And I was like, yeah, all right, they got me.
Starting point is 00:26:53 They got you. And then, like, remember to cancel. Remember to cancel. I'll forget. And then HBO. I think that's it. So, that's, that's, yeah, I mean, that's, uh, but the thing is, right, they're, they, that's how they get you. Now there's so many. You have to like remember what you have. That's, at one point, Disney was trying to sell me Hulu when I had Hulu. Right. And I was like, no, dude. So now I have, yeah, I literally just have HBO and Netflix. And Netflix is pushing buttons because there's nothing to watch on that. And I'm like, yeah. this close to getting rid of it but I'm like no they're
Starting point is 00:27:38 God maybe I'll watch this yeah but I'm really close to to being like no I'm done with you and just HBO at least has like stuff I want to watch yeah and Netflix is like practically like $20 a month at this point you want to know how much and they have one
Starting point is 00:27:56 maybe one series every five months I care about yeah no it's it's insane I mean they used to be like 10 bucks or something Yes. Yes. But that was the plan the entire time. Be cheap. Get the other businesses out of business and then jack up your price. yeah it's I'm I'm starting to miss when everything was just kind of
Starting point is 00:28:19 more under an umbrella you know like even like sports like sometimes I'm just like oh yeah we put on sports dude now they're like do you have the teams
Starting point is 00:28:28 thing do you have Cubs network do you have like football package do you have the Bulls network and the Blackhawks now and I'm just like dude I don't care like and I feel like a lot of people also don't care
Starting point is 00:28:41 and they're just like I'll just not watch And I think a lot of these companies are like, even teams that are like, we'll make our own sports network for our team thought that like they love our team. And it's like it turns out if your team is mediocre or sucks, nobody's going to pay like 15, 20 bucks a month to watch a shitty ass team. Like they'd rather just watch the highlights on YouTube after. That's all I do. Most of the time that, yeah, that's the best option too, because you're like, I don't need to watch them lose for three hours. I can just watch a few cool moments and go about my life. Yeah. Or like, you know, if they were good, if they had Michael Jordan or something, like, sure, I'll watch. Or like, if the team is having a good season, I'm like, all right, I'll pay for that. But like, otherwise, like, I don't care. I'm not going to do that. But, or like, I'll pay, I pay for the football one.
Starting point is 00:29:26 But that's like, I care about football and I'll watch like any football game, you know, and it's only like once a week type of thing. Honestly, God, it's probably cheaper to go watch at a sports bar. It probably is, honestly. So it's The main thing I hate I think out of everything is the blackout restrictions they put on sports
Starting point is 00:29:48 I don't know if you know what that is Where in certain markets They will not play your game Exactly So like if you're in a Chicago market And you pay for the like entire football packet Or the bet Let's say you're a Bulls fan
Starting point is 00:30:00 And you pay for the NBA league pass If you try to watch the Bulls game They'll be like you can't watch it You have to watch it on your local shit, which is the stupidest thing. Like, if I pay for a full-blown, like, league pass for all the games, it should just be like, I get all the games. Like, it's such an outdated stupid concept.
Starting point is 00:30:22 And the concept originated because they're like, we want people to go to the games. And, like, nowadays, nobody's going to go to the game instead of just watching it out. Like, oh, man, if only I could see my team, but I can't. So I'll go to the game. Like, it's so stupid. I don't know if it's bureaucracy, but it's that concept of just so much BS getting in the way of you just being able to watch a thing that shouldn't be that difficult for you to watch. Like, you should be able to just go and watch what you want to watch, when you want to watch it.
Starting point is 00:30:51 That should be it. Yeah. It's, it really should. And it's dumb and stupid and outdated, especially in our modern, like, streaming society of like all this shit. I don't know. I hate it. No, I'm entirely with you. It is insane.
Starting point is 00:31:10 And that's why, like, there was a time where having every streaming service was awesome. And it was the way to go. And now it's like, having all of that is more expensive than cable. And if you don't get it at the higher price, you're getting as many commercials as cable. So, and that's the worst part is now, like, a few years ago, I would get YouTube TV. And I was like, cool, I got my NFL package with YouTube TV. And then I get all my, like, local sports stuff on it. They'd market it, like, we got local sports and everything.
Starting point is 00:31:38 So I'd get, like, everything. And I was like, this is great. And then they're like, uh, now the team is leaving the network, so they're making their own thing. And now this team's leaving to make their own network. So now it's like, now I just get football and like HGTV and whatever. And they'll be like, this channel's thinking of leaving and making their, it's like, God, I hate this. I used to be like, man, get rid of cable and let me pay for what I want. Now it's like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:32:04 Maybe, uh, although, granted, cable was still overpriced for what it was. Like, they should have been a lot cheaper. But I feel like cable now has the power, as much as I hate cable company, don't get to be wrong. They have the power just be like, hey, guys, what if we just offer like really cheap cable packages instead of all these streaming things? Like, they can do that, but you know they won't because they'll just be like, we need money. Yeah, yeah. I'm already on the, uh, what if I just start? listening to audiobooks instead of watching
Starting point is 00:32:36 TV. That's where I'm at right now. I swear to God, I downloaded all 45 hours of Brandon Sanderson the way of Kings. Oh boy. I'm starting that. I'm starting that. I'm doing the audiobook of that. I'm going to get his entire. I might be a
Starting point is 00:32:52 Brandon Sanderson fan at the end of this. I don't know. I've never read or done any of his books ever. And so I might, I'll try it. We'll see if it's good. Yeah. I will say a few years ago, I tried reading a way of Kings. I got like 250 pages in and I was like I just I'm it is just like it felt like it was constant prologs or something and everyone was like yeah it's like that you just got to keep going and I'm like I'll try again later. I'm hoping I can put it on in the
Starting point is 00:33:21 background while I do stuff yeah so I will absorb the story but I don't have to be like in it you know which a book sometimes you know sometimes I want to be in it and sometimes that same thing Like, as a person who really likes the Song of Ice and Fire trilogy, or not trilogy, whatever it is, Quadropoli, whatever, that franchise, those books, I remember trying to get through that first book like four times. Yeah. And it wasn't until, spoiler to the end of it, a very crucial scene at the end of the first book happens, that I was like, yo, this is amazing. And then I was in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:00 But that first book took me a while. That's kind of what happened to me, too. I'd be like trying to read it and I'd be like, oh, it's too much or like, oh, man, and then I was just reading the misborn. And then I was like, man, I've been enjoying reading. And I'm like, oh, yeah, Game of Thrones. And I was like, I'm trying to compare the writing styles because I was into writing or like trying to study writing at that point.
Starting point is 00:34:22 I was like, oh, I can study George R. Martin's writing and see how it compares to Brian and Sanderson. And then I just kept reading and I was like, actually, I'm going to keep reading. And then I was like, actually, I'm going to keep reading. And then before you know it, I'm like, dude, I'm like 400 pages into this, but it's like keep going. Yeah, yeah, there's, um, I'm so glad we just got a trailer for it because it's like such a good response to people who are like, I don't know, Song of Us and Song of Ice and Fire is like really dark and like sad and there's some messed up stuff in it. The new series coming to HBO, Night of the Seven Kingdoms, is based off the Dunkin Egg books. And that's a trilogy set in the same world as the Song of Ice and Fire.
Starting point is 00:35:02 But, like, not dark, if that makes any sense. Like, it is a, a, like, rogue knight and little boy tag team adventure. Where they go, like, we're opposites. And we go on adventures together. It's super fun, very endearing, very sweet. And the three books are absolutely a joy. So I'm glad they're being made into a TV series. And it looks pretty one-to-one from what I can tell.
Starting point is 00:35:28 It seems like the first season's the first book, which, if they just make three seasons, off of three books and then end it great I'd be so happy but the trailer looks great the cast they have for the two main characters looks great but yeah I'm excited to see something a little more
Starting point is 00:35:44 down to earth like it isn't like dragon based it's more like oh my night in the realms I am but I'm gonna go around and be a be a night and be good and do good things yeah I didn't even know that was a thing yeah yeah they're Dunkin Egg they're very cute
Starting point is 00:36:00 Don't get the egg Yep And so it's nice to see something that isn't like And then they both died terribly At the end of book one You know Yeah It's like no no no
Starting point is 00:36:13 It's a more relaxed tale Yeah that is pretty fun I also see that George R. Martin still Is like I'm writing the book Like it's just He's at the point where he's just constantly being like
Starting point is 00:36:33 I'm working on the book everyone shut up because he keeps showing up at conventions and all these places and they're just like where is it so I mean at this point it really should be out
Starting point is 00:36:46 it really should there's no excuse he had chapters written 10 years ago yeah like there's absolutely no excuse for it not to be out unless it's just bad
Starting point is 00:36:58 and he's trying to rewrite it yeah he's other that there's no like this isn't even the last book this isn't i have to end it and i'm trying to end it the best way but this is i'm trying to build up to the last book yeah it's which i guess you know he might just be a perfectionist and like he keeps doing it over it but like it's been 13 years man yeah man you're there is no perfection when it comes to this you just have to just like get it out yeah at this point you would think hit like at this point, you should just be like, whatever. Here it is. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Yeah, I mean, people are going to complain no matter what, because there's no way it's going to be as good as 13 years worth of writing. There's no way. And if it is, that's a masterpiece. He did say in April of 2025 that the book's delay has become the curse of my life, and he
Starting point is 00:37:49 blamed his many side projects for slowing progress, which I mean, obviously. That's his fault. Yeah, like, what do you, like, oh no, yeah, man, that's Yeah, that's tough, bud, which like, I get it, but at the same time. Yeah, it's just like, oh, I've just got so many different things I'm working on. Oh, my life is just so tough.
Starting point is 00:38:13 I got so much, so many millions of dollars to handle now. Oh, crazy. Yeah. You know what else we could see? Oh, boy. Uh-huh. Okay, good. Yep, yeah.

Oh man, you know, when you say trapter copter in the sky, there could be numerous other places we could go, like chopter copter in the pie, right, numerous pies we could explore, chapter copter in the eye, that would probably be a bad time for somebody if they got a chopter copter in the eye.
Starting point is 00:40:14 The chopter copter in the spy, you know, that's probably, you know, espionage related. I don't know if we should be doing that one. A lot of chapter-copter locations, and the traffic's okay. Back to you. Most of those locations sound terrible. It places you wouldn't want a chopter-copter, ever. Yeah, no, you probably wouldn't. You wouldn't. It could be like the magic school bus, like we go into somebody's eye and explore around.
Starting point is 00:40:46 But that's not what the chopter does. That's what it doesn't do yet. There's no magic, there's no school bus, and there's no. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't say there's no magic. There's no magic. some magic. There's got to be some magic there. There's no magic. That's just pure science. Yeah. You don't have Ms. Frizzle. You can't do it. Or like a feisty redheaded kid.
Starting point is 00:41:08 What if we had like the, the Aldi brand, like Mr. Shizzle? Mr. Shizzle? Mr. Shizzle is going to bring the magic. You know what? That's how your chopper ends up in a pie. That's it. That's it. That's it. Or a spy. You're like, how'd we getting here? I don't know. Where are we? A spy? Classic Mr. Shizzle. I wish we had Ms. Frizzle. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Don't worry, kids. I'm taking you on an adventure today into the spy. And they're like, what's that mean, dude? What do you mean? He's like, come with me as we go to the spy. All the students are looking around, like,
Starting point is 00:41:47 should we know what that means? Yeah, I did watch a video of some guy like, it's kind of like, I Remember when we talked about the FBI tactics, whatever? What? The FBI, like, speech tactic thing that I did on you. Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:42:06 That you abused against me, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, well, I was watching, that was a different guy, like a CIA guy. He kind of looked like mind flame a little bit. Okay. And he was kind of talking about the same thing, and he's talking about how, like, back in the Cold War, like Russian spies would get information out of Americans by pretty much, doing this tactic, which makes a lot of sense where they would go to like places in Thailand
Starting point is 00:42:30 where American soldiers were and they were just drinking and have whatever, and they'd go up and be like, you know, the German propellers are way better than the American ones. Like I hear they're like 20 millimeter fins or something and the Americans be like, 20, but what do you mean? We got like 28 millimeter fins on ours. And so by just giving the wrong information, humans instinctively want to correct you. And so that's kind of just the tactic they use. So he was like He was given an example of like
Starting point is 00:42:59 If I told you to like go in and figure out How much a Whole Foods worker is making He was like you wouldn't ask any questions You wouldn't go up to somebody and be like Excuse me how much do you make You would literally just be like Oh man where's the carrots and be like Oh it must be great to work here
Starting point is 00:43:13 I hear you're making like $30 an hour now From that new story And they'd be like $30 an hour I don't make that And you'd be like wait you don't make that And they'd be like yeah I only make like 26 And it's just like by giving the wrong information, people automatically, and some guy was like, dude, I'd do that with coding.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Like, I'd be like, hey, can anybody help me with my coding problem? And they'd be like, shut up, idiot. And then he'd be like, hey, guys, I figured out a great coding thing and put the wrong code in. They'd be like, this is all wrong. You're supposed to do it this way. So it's just like the power of people wanting to correct other people is one of the strongest communication aspects, I guess. What's so gross is that there are times when you watch a YouTube video and you know
Starting point is 00:43:53 someone says the wrong thing or includes the wrong subtitle specifically to elicit that reaction like if you and I were to like change the name of this episode so it's misspelled or we added
Starting point is 00:44:09 a weird phrase or you said that all dogs can go to hell or whatever you know like this would get a lot the reaction would be better for us than if we just said everything
Starting point is 00:44:23 correct, and did everything correctly. Yeah. No, if you say something wrong, it's like if we were just like, I really think that Tylenol isn't acetaminophen. It's, uh, or ibuprofen. Acetosa mophon. You all are stupid. Yeah, people'd be like, you're insane.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Like, as long as you say some, like, it's like I said, the fastest way to figure out the answer to something is just tell people the wrong answer and then they'll give you the correct one. Oh, yeah. That's that, yeah, no, you're right. Yeah. So, um, that's the traffic. Okay, let's go to weather.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Weather time. Uh, let's see here. We've got, yeah, weather. We've landed on the weather for F-Ram, Utah, hometown of rapper, turnabout. Turnabout is known famously for his album, Lord of Ephraim. Sure. That's, that is, I've never heard of Turnabout. I've never heard of that album.
Starting point is 00:45:33 What year was that? Do you know? I do not know. I know as much as you do. The fact that when I look up Turnabout, it auto-corrects me to TurboTax is all you should know. 2004. Yeah, I... Turnabout does look like a dude who came straight out of Ephraim.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Yes. He does. That is absolutely correct. Uh, well, let's see here. Ephraim, Utah. I don't even know what that's how you say it. Ephraim? Ephraim?
Starting point is 00:46:05 I think it's Ephraim. All right. Uh, don't correct us if we're wrong. Yeah. If we're wrong, don't you get in chat and let us know. Don't respond on every single thing we do and let us know. Yep. Yeah, your interaction can only hurt us.
Starting point is 00:46:23 So please be interactive. Well, it's 56 degrees. Feels like 56 degrees. Humidity 28% pressure 29.84 inches. Visibility 10 miles. Winds at 3 miles an hour. 7.33 a.m. sunrise. 651 p.m. sunset.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Due point 23 UV index 4 of 11. Moon phase waning gibbis. 10 day. We got Monday, partly cloudy 66. We got Tuesday, 66. Mostly sunny. Wednesday. Shower is 56.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Thursday, 49, getting cold, partly cloudy. Friday, 54, partly cloudy, Saturday, 57, sunny, Sunday 66, mostly sunny, Monday 50, partly cloudy, Tuesday 50, mostly sunny, Wednesday, 52, partly cloudy, Thursday, 55, sunny, Friday 61, mostly sunny. Some of these places make me so happy. Like, for some reason, I just know that I want to go to yo crazy. Yo crazy. Yo crazy.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Like, that's what I, it's just a yogurt place. They're like, screw it. We're going to make our name Yo Crazy. That's a very Midwest yogurt place. Very Midwest. Yeah. And then they have the malt shop right next to it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Which as far as I can tell, it looks like it was built in 1923. Yeah. The old malt shop. Which, admittedly, it looks like what I would want in a place called the malt shop. Just burgers and, uh, yeah, drinks. I know it's not going to be a. 10 out of 10. And that's, I'm fine with that. It looks like solid diner fast food place.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Yes, it looks like if it is late at night and I am very hungover, this is the place I'm going. For sure. They got a Jose's Cafe. That place I'd eat there in a heartbeat. Shout out to little like almost diner Mexican food. Yeah. Good stuff. Uh, what is this place? Can't even see it.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Roots 89 Roadhouse. Honest to God, I don't even know. need to see the outside it just looks like a dude's house that is just the guy's house 100% is but so where a lot of these buildings is a coffee place called uh solid rock cafe that as far as i can tell appears to just be in the side of a house oh yeah i see that and honestly i dig that that's a fun vibe i'm looking at it it literally is the cafe i'm looking at it it's in the house it's the kitchen of the house oh yeah it really is this is some super small town It is legitimately just a house.
Starting point is 00:48:53 The place you sit is in the living room of the house. Yeah, look at that. Wow. Dude, honestly, here for that. Love it. Yeah. Well, I mean, honestly, this place cooler than I thought it'd be. Yes, especially considering it is almost in the middle of nowhere.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Yeah, this is like. You are in the, you are up in it. Yeah, like the forest and mountains. Yeah. It's pretty well. You got a drive to go to, like, I don't even, where's the nearest grocery store? Like, how would you even, not near here, that's for sure? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:32 I guess there's south of Salt Lake City. Would you just drive up the Salt Lake City or somewhere near there? There is an airport, the Mante-Ephraim Airport, and I bet if you go there, you can probably fly to Salt Lake City. But that's a drive. I don't know how big of a drive that is, but it seems like a drive. Yeah, it does seem like a drive for a lot of these places. I don't know. I mean, I guess that's if you're anywhere in a rural area.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Yeah. That's the weather. Okay. Let's go to sports. In sports. Here we are. Hey, how do you get here? I show up.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Okay, that's crazy. We got ourselves some baseball playoffs. We got Mariners Blue Jays in the AL, and we got Dodgers Brewers in the NL. So it should be pretty good. I'm happy with anybody except the Dodgers winning. Good luck, haters. Yep. And then in football, we got some scores today.
Starting point is 00:50:48 we had the Giants beat the Eagles on Thursday night pretty wild we had the Rams beat the Ravens Seahawks beat the Jaguars Panthers beat the Cowboys Steelers beat the Browns Patriots beat the Saints Chargers beat the Dolphins Colts beat the Cardinals and the Broncos beat the Jets in London and other games currently going on we also had hockey start hockey has began Florida Panthers 3 and O Boston Bruins 3 and O and they are currently the two best teams in hockey Colorado 2 O and won. They had an overtime game.
Starting point is 00:51:21 So, well, you know, long hockey season. Those are currently the best teams. And, you know, we're getting closer to the Olympics. Only, like, well, like a three, four months away or something. February, I think. Yeah, February. So look at that.
Starting point is 00:51:36 And that sports. Okay. What is our fact of the day? Fact of the day. Fact of the day. Back of the day. Bep, bep, bep, bep, bep, bep, bep, bep. This is actually a wild one.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Uh, mirrors facing each other don't produce infinite reflections. Hmm. So it says here that each reflection will be darker than the last and eventually fade into invisibility. Mears absorb. Oh, okay. So when they mean infinite, they mean infinite. I was like, I've definitely seen images of mirrors reflecting mirrors. And then you can like kind of see into the mirror.
Starting point is 00:52:17 But they're saying infinitely, which, yeah, no, I agree with that. Yeah, okay. Mears absorb a fraction of the energy of the light striking them. The total number of reflections mirrors can produce a few hundred. Yeah, right, right. I feel like when most people say it goes on infinitely, they don't mean it in that case. Like they mean it that it goes on a long time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Like more than we're willing to count. I think what they mean in this case Yeah, no, I think so too Yeah, because I never once thought like It goes on forever, like eventually Yeah Okay, sure Yeah
Starting point is 00:53:00 And there you go That's your fact of the day Day, day Who has come to us with tears in their eyes? We've got tears Here we go In the eyes Yep
Starting point is 00:53:16 We got Bebhbhbhbhbhbhbh Behbh Dear illustrious sirs With tears on My eyes And soaring knees Due to many hours
Starting point is 00:53:26 Of kneeling I ask thee If you could learn Any musical instrument Which one would you choose Is it the Shami Sun? Is that what that is? Whatever that's called
Starting point is 00:53:35 I don't The one that kind of Looks like a guitar But isn't a guitar That one I hear it's incredibly hard to play One of the hardest Music Instruments to learn
Starting point is 00:53:43 And I want to learn that That does sound like it'd be fun Yeah, because then that sounds like, oh, you mastered, because I guess in this scenario, we're just given the power to master it. I want to master that. Because in my mind, that's one of those things that, like, one Japanese dude spends his whole life trying to master. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Now I can see that.
Starting point is 00:54:01 So now that's why I want to master that. So I can be at that level, but with something that is very hard. Yeah. That's what I want. I grew up wanting to play the drums, and I did, like, basic drum in, like, middle school. but it wasn't like I wasn't like you know rock band drum
Starting point is 00:54:19 and I was just like on my snare drum like that type of thing but nowadays if I'd learn learn an instrument it would be something

Starting point is 00:57:51 Florida Man. Florida Man stole $7,000 and scratch off lottery tickets, then return to the store to redeem them just hours later. Why would you? Like, that's a level of lazy. Like, you go to any other store. Yeah, not just, I mean, not just lazy, but dumb. Like, come on, man.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Like, why are you going to go back to the place you stole? from the scene of the crime that's like did you not watch one episode of law and order like that's just basic criminal failure 101 there's like so many other places you could go through to cash in your lottery tickets absolutely there's no reason for you to go back to the you could go to any other yeah um dumb luck a florida man was hit with federal charges this week after he stole seven thousand dollars allegedly and scratch off lottery tickets tickets from a convenience store, then returned to the scene of the crime, mere hours later, to try and redeem them. Justin Farley, 43, pulled into a St. Petersburg Circle K on May 5th and opened multiple cabinets and took scratch-off lottery tickets before fleeing the scene in his gray Hyundai-I-Undi-Land-a-Land-a-Ruffly 40 minutes later.
Starting point is 00:59:14 I don't know why that got me. Ayundai. Hi undi. Roughly 40 minutes later, Farley arrived at an area 7-Eleven to redeem $7,000 worth of scratch-offs, according to the document filled in the United States District Court for Middle District Florida.
Starting point is 00:59:41 After an unsuccessful attempt, the bumbling thief returned to the same circle K and tried to cash in on the seven ticket books he stole his attempts once again failed he then left how long at least it had to have been did he at least wait for a new shift to start like if you went back to the same dude you stole from the audacity now I will say he did at least try to go somewhere else first and he's like well I guess I got to go back to the place I stole it from what do you mean would they did not him where they were like, oh, you can only
Starting point is 01:00:16 cash this into the place? That doesn't make sense? I don't know. Well, he said he went to the 7-Eleven and they were just like, no. I mean, maybe they were just like, maybe they just didn't want to do it. Maybe they were like, you have to go back to the same place. I don't know. They don't actually answer any of these questions.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Could it be kind of like if you buy a gift card from a store? Like they have to do a whole scan first. So you can't just like steal gift cards? it's like maybe it has to be like registered as someone did take this rather than it was stolen like I don't know what the logistics of the lotto system are when it's scratchers because I've gotten you know my dad is notorious for gifting scratcher things for Christmas and birthdays and you can take those wherever like there is no no one's telling me oh well you got this at fills down the street you got to go back there now I will say maybe he was like here's my like two 200 winning scratch-offs and they were like, uh, okay.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Like maybe is just too many of them or something. You got to be like, here's one and then go to a different place. Here's another. Yeah, he could have brought like even like four or five to one, then go to a different one. Yeah, bringing a bunch of them that is how you get caught. That's definitely, I would guarantee that's what he did. After an unsuccessful attempt at the same circle, K, he tried to cash in on seven ticket books he had stolen from the store. he attempted once again and failed.
Starting point is 01:01:44 He then left and returned to the circle K minutes later, only to come up empty a third time, according to the filing. So he kept leaving and coming back. Let me ask you a question. Hold on. Hold on. They're talking about these as books, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:01 They haven't once mentioned if he actually scratched them off. Do you think he's just returning to these places and be like, hey man, I got a bunch of scratches I can sell you? because they haven't said he scratched them off, have they? I don't think they did.
Starting point is 01:02:20 They just said he stole them and then he came back trying to sell the booklets. Which means he's not trying to cash them in. He's trying to sell them? Well, I do say here he's trying to redeem his lottery tickets. So he must have scratched. All right. Yes, all right then. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:39 Then it says he drove back to the 7-Eleven in a black, mask, yellow shirt, and black Nikes, and pointed a replica Glock at the clerk, demanding a staffer open the cash register. He made off with $120 from the register before escorting the clerk back to the back
Starting point is 01:02:56 of the store and snatching a pack of Newport's. Of course. All of this for $120 bucks, un-cashed scratchers and a pack of Newport's. Yep. This truly is a Florida Mitchie. Yep, Newport Richie. Newport Richie, back at it again.
Starting point is 01:03:15 Newport Richie would have taken all the Newport's. He wouldn't come there just for those. The scratchers he would have left behind because he doesn't gamble with chance. But he would have taken the 120 bucks. Yeah. Oh, yeah. A slew of evidence, including his license plate and surveillance footage, led cops to pull him over on May 22nd, book him on commercial burglary and grand theft.
Starting point is 01:03:35 After his arrest. Then he got federal charges. Federal. Not worth it, dude. Not worth it. I mean, he tried to, he literally pointed, Glock at somebody who took their money, so... To be clear, if he had done that, and that alone, and the pack of cigarettes, and not
Starting point is 01:03:51 touch the scratchers, it would have been a state crime. Yeah. But because he took the lot of stuff, it's a federal... Like, that is... You dumb for that! After his arrest, he told the cops, he needed the money. Well, I mean, who doesn't? Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 01:04:07 That's... Yeah, I just needed it. needed it. Yeah, I really needed the money. No, no shit. I get you. There's a lot of other ways to get funny. Absolutely. And again, he tried
Starting point is 01:04:23 the stupid, he was like, I need money right now. The lottery should do it. That's the least smart option. Yeah. He could have called J.G. Wentworth. So many good options. So many good options. Yeah, everyone knows that. On custody on state
Starting point is 01:04:39 charges. Farley was indicted by Tampa a grand jury. He was charged federally on Tuesday. He now faces one count of interference with commerce by threat or violence, a federal charge under the Hobbs Act, which prohibits robbery that affects interstate or foreign commerce. The dim-witted thief also has
Starting point is 01:04:55 a significant criminal history, including convictions for felony drug and firearm possession. A classic. Yikes. Well, you know, Florida Man strikes again. Florida Man does indeed strike again. But he's got Newport's. Not anymore he doesn't
