Today's episode is brought to by Factor Meals.
Factor's has got those good meals.
Delivered right to your home.
Let's jump into this podcast.
Hello, everybody.
It's time for Cosent Red Dog.
Let's see Trendorm in the morning.
In the morning.
Broadcastle live, live, live, live, live.
Before our reporting studio, recording.
Recording.
Let me wake your ass up.
It's up.
Next, Trenton, in the morning.
Hello, everybody wants to say this is going to guys and Grendo in the morning.
It is the next, er, uh-oh.
I was going to say excited an episode, and then I, my brain, like, cross-fired, and then I just kind of...
Now you know what it's like every time I start one of these episodes.
Yeah, no, I get it now.
I got cross, I'm caught up in the cross-fire.
Yeah, that's what they say.
About me specifically, yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, how are you doing? How's it going?
Uh, good, good. I'm on like a weird kick at the moment. So I'm, I, next year I'm doing a bit of traveling. So I'm trying to plan in advance where I'm like, okay, if I'm going to travel, I need a way to still do podcasts and still do stuff. But I don't want to have to drag around a laptop with me. So I was trying to like do some research online and be like, well, maybe if I got like an iPad, I could show my face still because the iPad camera. But then I have to figure out a way to hook up.
microphone up to it, which probably is easy. But then when I looked online, and iPads are expensive as
hell. And I was like, well, that's not what I want to do. So I've just been trying to figure out what I
want to do when it comes to, like, I don't want to spend a lot of money on a thing I'm only going to use
when I travel. You know what I mean? Yeah, that makes sense. And so I don't, like, the iPad route seems
good. And it seems like it would work for me. But I need an iPad that has a reasonable camera that I can
have for a few years and not like, you know, if I'm going to buy one, I'm going to buy one that's
going to last the next five plus years.
Yeah.
No, that makes sense.
But they're just expensive.
Like, uh, to get an iPad plus a keyboard, which is what I would want, one of the keyboard
things that hooks up to the iPad, we're still looking at close to $2,000 for a new iPad.
What those shit?
That's what I'm, like, there's all these little fees.
By the end, I was like, with all the things I would need, we'll get it almost do that.
I had so much money.
So, yeah, I don't know.
Maybe I get a crappy laptop, but even that's crappy.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
So I don't know what to do, to be honest
I think you're just in a crappy situation
I even thought about getting one of those
little tiny baby computers
that you can travel with
but then I'd have to get a monitor everywhere I go
I'd have to request monitors or find a monitor
or something which is a pain in the ass
so I don't want that
and laptops
buying a full computer
like a laptop and only using it
three four times a year
yeah you know that doesn't make any sense
so I was like well maybe if I got an iPad
I could use that like around that
But I don't know, man.
Maybe I just don't and then tell everyone when I travel tough shit.
Like, I don't know, dude.
Didn't you already have a laptop?
Is it just, like, bad?
Is that what you're saying?
It was too big?
Yeah, no, I had a laptop.
And I used it so little that when my mom's laptop broke, I gave it to her.
I was like, here, I don't use this, have it.
So I haven't had a laptop since then.
My mom has my old laptop.
And, yeah, like, I didn't need for it.
And I've used one in the past.
and it's worked really well
and I've done stuff
while traveling
but the
like I don't know
the return on investment
for that is very low
so I'm like
maybe I just don't get one
but if I need one
I'll have a thing
it's that kind of thing
where I don't want to spend the money
but I might have to
and I don't like it
and I was like
well maybe I'll get like a cheapo
iPad one of the older ones
and everyone was like
don't
I looked at all the different
reviews. I'm like, don't bother. So I don't know, man. I'm looking. I guess because I was like,
wow, an iPad pro is pretty much the same price, or nearly the same price is just like an actual
I Mac laptop. But I guess you can, you're just buying the keyboard as well. So it's like at that
point, you may as well as get the laptop. That's what I'm saying. But I don't want the laptop.
Because that's, that's a whole other thing. And like it says you can get.
the iPad Pro from $9.99.
I was like, okay, that's expensive, but maybe it's worth it.
So I went to click buy, and then it was like, oh, no, there's two models.
Yeah.
There's the 11 inch of the 13.
I was like, well, I would want the 13.
So now I'm no longer 999.
Now I'm 1299.
And I'm like, okay, well, yeah, all right.
Well, obviously I don't want 256 gigabytes of storage.
That's so little.
I have to have at least one terabyte.
So now that's another.
Now I'm up to 1800.
And I was like, well, you know, there's.
This one glass is actually this nanotexture glass is for low reflectivity.
And well, if I'm going to be filming stuff or using the camera on my, I don't want to
reflect.
So I got to have low, you know, I got to have low reflection.
And I was like, well, I don't need cellular.
So we'll save somebody there.
And I'm still, I'm at 1900 bucks.
And then they're like, hey, do you, do you want a pencil?
I'm like, I don't know that I would need a pencil for this.
So I guess no pencil, but I do need a keyboard.
Suddenly we're up another.
Like now we're over 2000.
Yeah, what the heck?
That's insane.
Suddenly we're at $2,300.
That was in seconds.
I went from it's $900.99 to now I'm at $2348 if I wanted to buy it.
That is crazy.
The increase is crazy.
It just sucks.
It's not a pleasant place to be because I don't want to buy an expensive iPad.
And I don't want to buy an expensive laptop.
But I will have to work on the road sometimes.
Yeah. So it's like, there's got to be some cheap way. Like, look, completely agreed. There was one moment where I was looking online. They don't make it anymore because of course they don't. But I found this company that makes cases. And one of the cases they had was this case that in the case was a monitor and a full computer that you could assemble yourself in the case and then foam up. And so you could travel with a full computer with monitor. Huh. And I was like,
that's pretty cool. I could just use that as a normal
computer in the office and then when I needed to go
pack it up and walk onto a flight
with it. That'd be so cool. They
immediately the minute I was like maybe I'll look into that
it was like we no longer offer this. I was like
okay. So no one bought it
is what I'm learning. I was the one person
who would have and yeah. You missed your chance.
Because I was trying to think like oh I could use it for my
real computer and a travel
computer that's two birds one stone.
Yeah. No you
you missed your chance unless you find that on like
eBay or something.
Yeah, no, I'm all right
It's like
What are you mainly doing? You're just doing it for editing
And
Yeah, so when I travel, right
I would
I have this podcast, I have
Geekenders, I have
Chaluminati, I have all sorts of things
I would need to do, I have meetings,
do different things, so I need a camera that works
and a microphone that is pretty good
And so in my mind, I'm like, all right, well, I can get a
laptop, but laptop cameras are notorious
seriously shit. I know that an iPad camera is actually quite good. I've seen a lot of the,
honestly, most of the ASMR people you see on the internet are using an iPhone and a blue
yeah. That's it. And they look great. So I'm like, at least I have that going for me if I get
an iPad. With that said, I don't have a keyboard and I wouldn't need a keyboard because I'd be
doing a lot of emails and writing things and I'm not going to do that on the iPad the entire
time. That's why I barely use my phone as this. So I was like, I would need a keyboard. Then
I would need, you know, I could hook up the Blue Yeti to the iPad.
Like, that's not a big deal.
I could do that.
I have a Blue Yeti.
It's fine.
I could make it work.
But it's just too expensive.
It's just so expensive.
But I don't want to buy an old model because then my objective is for it to last a long time.
Right.
And the older the model, the less long it'll last.
So, you know.
Well, what's your current thing?
Like, if you get none of this and you decide to just roll.
out like what do you what are you rolling with uh nothing i literally have my phone and then i pack
nothing i don't have a i don't have anything i disconnect i have my phone and sometimes i'll
answer email and most of the time i'll be like i'll deal with this when i get back i mean okay well
what are you traveling next so literally this january of next year immediately the like second week i'm
already traveling um okay well
I'm going to Magfest to host some stuff.
And that's like the start of the year.
So immediately I'm going.
Yeah.
Maybe after Christmas there'll be deals and you can get something.
Like remember when Google had like Chromebooks?
What's the deal with those?
How do those work?
I don't think they're going to be good.
But there's a bunch of different things that exist out there that I just don't know.
So I'll take the time to figure it out.
But that's currently my like conundrum is I can't figure out what to buy.
or if I need to buy
anything at all. Because one of my biggest fears as well
is the reason why I gave my mom that laptop
is I bought a thing thinking I would need it
and I didn't use it and it was a waste of money.
Well, I looked up Chromebooks
and they're like a couple hundred dollars
but I think they're just like for
checking email essentially.
Right, right, right. And I'm thinking
maybe I could put
a camera on it but
yeah, I don't know.
Again, big confusion.
the best I can think of is right now at least scheduling everything to be like I'm going to be leaving so we need to do this sooner rather than later like that so I don't have to do it while I travel that seems like the smartest way to do it but sometimes it's not preventable and in that case if I can help it I'd like to do something but I don't know I feel like you'd still you'd probably find a use for whatever you get at some point outside of just traveling sure maybe
I, like, you know, I don't, I haven't in the past.
All of the previous attempts to get travel ready gear have ended with me being like, well, that was a waste of money.
Uh, yeah, I'll know.
Honestly, maybe, uh, I think your best bet is just waiting until after Christmas.
Like, I genuinely, that's what I'm going to do no matter what.
I'm not going to buy a damn thing, right?
It's so expensive.
However, boy, did I, I want to talk to you about something
Because I feel like this is the start of a great conversation about relationships.
So I'm not sure the vibe you and Toast have when it comes to relationships and looking at other couples and kind of gauging yourself comparatively.
But from time to time, I will see people out in the wild or see Reddit posts or see whatever.
And I will just be like, yikes.
how are you together still?
And I had one of those this morning
while getting a bagel for breakfast.
And it's pretty packed.
I'm sitting there waiting.
And behind me is this couple.
And imagine like a guy
who very clearly
still even in his 40s
thinks he's in a frat.
Yep.
Just put that together.
And sitting with him
is a woman who is gorgeous,
genuinely gorgeous.
But in that kind of
Kind of like I did a lot of tanning, so I'm, you know, one or two bad tans away from like pure leather skin.
And the reason I cared at all about this conversation they were having is that he was very loudly having a conversation with her and someone on the phone while we were in this packed bagel place with numerous conversations if they were still the loudest.
and when I say they I mostly mean him
because she was trying to ask him questions
and I think set up their day
talk about what they were going to do
since it was early on a Sunday right
but he is busy having a conversation on the phone
ignoring her almost completely
shouting things like
how dare they replace the quarterback
they were sitting there
and she's like hey do you want to go to San Francisco this weekend
and he's like actually I got a golf thing
that kind of stuff
and the more I listen to them
and the way that they interacted with each other,
the more I realized, like,
she's actively trying to do stuff,
and he doesn't seem like he wants to be there.
Like, he's talking about skiing,
and when he's going to go meet his friends to go ski.
He's talking about this golf thing he has to do
instead of going to San Francisco.
He's talking about, like, a quarterback.
He's talking about all these things and his friends.
This girl's with him right there,
and she's trying to be like, hey, do you want to do stuff with me?
And he clearly is like, no.
and as I sat there waiting for my bagel
I watched them and I was like some people should not be together
like these two very clearly do not mesh
and I don't know what it is that's keeping them together
but like yikes it was very obvious
and the guy was just loud and he's like on the phone
at one point talking to his friends about like what they're going to do
later that day and this girl's like sitting there
and I was like is he going to ditch her after this like that's great
there's something about it it just felt like
I wanted to be like
oh yikes you poor girl
I mean I would say
it could be one of those things
where they've been together
forever and then they've kind of grown apart
and now he's just
well they may have also always been like this
and then they always were like
oh you know whatever it's fine
this just gets worse and worse
right like that type of thing
or maybe
she's just like so used to it at this point
she's just like yeah whatever
like maybe I'll try
but like uh and then he's clearly like
in his own world
and probably doesn't
it seems like he doesn't really care
about anything she's interested in
at least from the brief synopsis
you've given me
I mean there could be a
like one of those relationships too
where they're together and then
he kind of like makes a bunch of money
and then she doesn't really do that much
or doesn't have a job or like kind of relies
on him so she's like kind of
also afraid to leave him too
there could be a million reasons
yeah I mean there's so many things it could be
But it just, it was one of those
Ignore all that
You two
Everyone who has ever been in a relationship like that
Were after the fact they realized it was a bad relationship
That's this
Like I don't know what's going on in the moment
But looking back
You would be like
That was a bad one
That was a mistake
Well that guy sounds like he'd be in a bad relationship
With whoever he's in a relationship with
I mean
I want to say
Yeah
But also I know for a fact
that most guys
if they fall in love with someone
that changes
like it's
that's how I know they're probably not right for each other
because if the guy was in
he'd be in 100
you know what I mean? Does that make sense?
Well that's what I
that's kind of my theory too
is that it used to be that way
and they've probably been together so long
that that kind of drifts away
and after a while
you then
like if you are actually
in a good relationship you still are like
friends and like
hanging out and talking and doing stuff
and that's kind of the point of like
long term relationships
as you're like wow we still get along
even after all this time
and I think there's plenty of people
especially in like
older relationships where like
they just kind of like boomer people
they'll be like my old lady won't live
like that type of thing
I think a lot of them
got married really quick
and then just kind of had
that happen where they actually didn't get along
after a few years and then they just kind of
were like, he does his thing, I do
my thing, like that type of relationship.
Do you think that's like
a communication thing?
Like
people did surface level talking and then
later in life realized like wow
I actually don't like this person at all.
I mean it's
definitely a communication thing.
I think there's probably another
like element of just comfort
like I've been in this situation for so long
I may as well just stay here
like that type of
right because new is scary
yeah yeah so that's probably part of it
but then yeah I think it's just
I honestly think it's people get together
and they get married too fast
or they're like whatever and then they're just like
well I guess we're like this
like years later and they're just like sitting
not talking being like a
like I feel like that's a pretty common thing
yeah i mean i i'm fine with like that you know the old birch couple that just sits there silently reading
like if you're like being around the person you're with i don't know that you need to be like
hey dear what's going on today but with that said uh if one of you wants to be in silence the other one
doesn't you probably need to have a real dialogue about that that might come off differently
to each of those people yeah no it's uh i think it's a hard part about relationships
is like it's always going to be different for literally everybody.
Like every dynamic is going to be different.
Sure.
So it's...
Plus expectations are different of what you want out of it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why people just go on Reddit and be like,
Reddit,
here's my thing.
I'm like,
this is the last place you should be asking anyone for relationship advice.
Yeah,
I mean,
you know,
like me and Toastra Woman,
we're still like talking all the time.
We like hanging out with each other.
We do stuff.
We also like actually listen.
So that's like a big one.
I feel like a lot of people don't listen.
Like, uh,
don't like,
like you said,
someone will just be like,
oh,
should we do this?
Let's be like the quarterback,
like they're clearly not listening or caring.
That should be bare minimum of what you do.
Yeah.
If you're in a relationship with someone,
at least listen and be like,
what are you trying to tell me rather than,
hey,
what do we,
what do we go to the game later?
Yeah,
I mean,
it's also a problem with those things where like he doesn't.
if they're not listening at that moment
I doubt they're listening to many people
like they probably don't even listen with their
friend their friends must be
probably because their friends might not even say anything
that and they always be like bro we do the thing
you're just like yeah bro yeah
like there's no depth going on
but it also
I will say what I did realize while watching them talk
was that she had the exact
like have you ever watched
someone who was like an extreme nerd
for like I don't know some sort of game thing
explain it to someone who does not care
that's the same vibe
he was talking about yeah he was talking about
sports and she just didn't care
and it made me laugh because I also
understood in that moment
oh no this guy's just a nerd for sports
yeah
but I mean I'm a sports nerd
sure sure but I always think that's funny
because while listening to the way people
talk the way he was talking about sports
wasn't cool
it was like the stat nerdy
he's like explaining why a guy shouldn't
BQB, but in like a techie way.
I'm curious which game he was talking about.
I do not know.
What day was it?
Was it Sunday?
Sunday and there was, the only reason why I say Chargers is because there was a little
boy who was excited.
He was sitting there with his mom talking to some random woman who was, you know, being
nice to a child and he was really excited for the Chargers games.
So like maybe, I don't know.
Oh yeah, they got blown out by the Jaguars, 35 to 6.
That makes sense.
Then they put in Trey Lance because I think they were just down by a billion points.
So was, was he upset they put in the backup quarterback?
Yo, I don't know.
I have no.
He was what he said verbatim was, go back to this damn thing.
He said, replacing the starter quarterback is not a smart choice.
That, I mean, to be fair, it seems like at that point they were just giving up and they were putting in Trey Lance and just waving the
white flag. So, I mean, at this point,
the charger offensive
line is obliterated. If you're going to leave your
starting quarterback Justin Herbert back there, he's
also going to get obliterated, and then your future's
gone. So, like, I actually
do think. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what to tell
you. This is what I heard.
Odds all, they were down by a bunch, so
I disagree with him.
Also, shout out to the bagel. It was great.
Shout to that bagel.
It's good bagel.
Yeah, it's a,
He just sounds like a person you wouldn't want to be around in general.
I mean, the thing is, there probably definitely 100% is a girl out there for him who wants to go skiing and wants to do all these things he wants to do and wants to go drink a few beers with the bros.
I guarantee she's out there.
Yeah.
But I also guarantee he was dating this woman because she was attractive, like more than conventionally attractive.
Like, you know, Hollywood attractive.
Ah, yeah.
And so he was like, well, I got her.
So, you know, it's one of those things where he definitely was like, that's my hot girlfriend.
Yeah.
Rather than, this is a human being that I talk to about things.
Yeah.
It's like, okay.
No, that definitely sounds like what happened.
He's just like, yeah, and then they probably had nothing in common.
And then over the years, it's just here we are.
But they look great going out together.
There you go.
That's all that matters.
Yep.
Yep.
Are you aware?
I just
I just watch this like
I don't know
Two hours ago
Neil Breen has a new movie coming out next year
And it is
One of my favorite trailers
I've ever seen because it like has well
His voiceover it's like
He's a man
That's losing his mind
He can't be trusted
And then it cuts to him
Shooting what I can only assume
is a CG gun into CG ground shouting I'm so alone over and over again it's incredible I've
never laughed so hard I have not seen this trailer yet trailer yet it just came out like a few
hours ago I can't believe it it might I've never laughed so hard in my life it is
truly a masterpiece uh hold on was it called dire duplicity oh yeah
Yes. Dyer duplicity. That's right. Dyer duplicity. What's that even mean?
Taking in face value, it's an extremely serious dire example of being two-faced.
I don't know what to tell you.
So is this carrying over from the previous movie at all?
This is a totally different movie with totally different actors and a totally different story.
This is not connected to his other movies. It's a totally different.
different thing. Now it may look
the same and it may feature the exact
same premise of him and a beautiful
younger woman definitely having
a sex scene for no reason that may
be in there and it may be the only reason why
he makes these movies and frankly
I don't care, I'm in.
I
uh, I'm just skimming through
I got to the one point where he's like
this is my partner in life
and she's literally like
23.
Yes.
There's one part where he tries to kiss her later and she like turns her head.
He like starts making out with her cheek.
It's like, ah, okay.
All right.
He's also a fighter pilot.
Yes.
Dude, I was explaining on stream earlier that scene where he's in the fighter jet.
I was like, in his movies, there'll be moments where he's like driving a car and it lasts for five minutes and nothing happens.
This fighter jet scene will be that.
Oh, yeah.
Without a doubt.
He just wanted to fly, have footage of him flying in a fighter jet, even though it's fake.
this is going to be five minutes
of him like
that's going to be the thing
this is insane
I told you I'm excited
yeah this looks
looks like it's going to be fantastic
yeah 2026
dire duplicity
dire duplicity
I can't even
I can't even
did you read the
the description
no what is the description
It is a tormented secret agent with emotional and psychological problems
attempts to stop an international cyber attack.
This dark emotional mystery intensifies as he is betrayed by those he trusts and loves.
I mean, at least he's got themes.
Yeah.
He sticks with the same themes every time.
That is nice at least.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I'm excited.
Oh, it's so funny.
Yeah, I don't understand.
You know, I mean, I do.
We know that he works in Vegas, and most of it's filmed on cheap in Vegas.
Yeah.
But it's just so funny to me that every one of them, he's like, here's my new wife.
And they get younger every time.
Younger and blonder every time.
He's like, this is my girlfriend.
You're like, Neil, stop it.
Find an age-appropriate wife.
This is out of control.
That girl was 22.
Yeah, he is.
he's clearly looking for something
when he's cast in these
that's for sure
I mean admittedly
I'd do the same
who am I kidding
but for this movie
you this incredibly
attractive woman on my wife
don't question it
it's a movie
and thus real
normally I'd have people
read the script
but I think you'll do well
you're right up
like you're fine getting naked
don't ask
don't question it
I'll only shoot it from behind
but I'll get to see everything
That's probably that guy in the
The bagel place's dream right now
That's probably what he's looking
You tell him I get to look at Naka's every time I film
Nice
I wish I was Neil Breen
Oh my god
I was gonna mention
We're getting to the point where there's like so many award shows
I realize
How much I don't care about award shows
I see
I don't think you ever would.
You don't seem like the guy who gives the damn about awards, period.
Even if you got them.
I don't think you care.
I definitely wouldn't.
I think award shows, like the game awards are all right because you get to see new games.
So it's like, oh, okay, we get to see some trailer new games and stuff.
But like, even then, the actual awards, I'm kind of like, all right, cool.
Like, it's, I just don't care.
It's just like a popularity contest or like, I just, I just,
Like especially things like streamer awards
Like dude that's
The last thing I care about is the streamer awards
Look I love a good award
I like receiving them
Do I like award shows? Not really
But if I was invited to one I'd go
I'd probably feel very awkward
Because I don't feel like I belong
At any of that kind of stuff
But I would attend
If only for the stories that I could tell
Because I'm sure there'd be a lot of ego
Oh yeah
my objective
is to stream long enough
that by law
they have to give me
like a lifetime achievement award
right they have to
you would imagine
they'd have to eventually
yeah
I'd show up
and I'd have an old white beard
and have a cane
and I'd be like
you damn kids
don't know how good you have it
with your with your virtual
characters
and your multiple microphones
and cameras
right back in my day
one camera would do
it's uh it's like even just looking
it was for ATP
they should have an award for just like the
the oldest streamer
like the most like not even just like actually
old but like literally just the oldest
you know like the best old man streamer
so yeah I think we both be up there's
that's what the Lifetime Achievement Award is for
that's that's the like so you didn't win anything
or do anything but you were here a long time so here
we go. That's what I want. That's something I can do as well, just sticking around.
I mean, one of the categories, literally, I think both we could do. Because the streamer awards has
this sort of like, unless you're in the top zero zero zero one percent, you're not even going
to be involved, really. Or you know somebody. Oh yeah. Yeah, that's definitely a thing. But
they also have a category that I find interesting that is something, again, I think you and I
could pull this off because it is if you have a thousand or fewer on average viewers and then you
see some sort of rapid growth right it's kind of like an up-and-coming category yeah and i know for sure
because some games i stream and no one wants to watch so it equals out the balance that's on
average i have below 1,000 viewers that's true we could i would love this for a 2026 best
upcoming streamer Jesse Cox, that would be
hilarious. Yeah, that was
this guy really is
coming into his own. It's unbelievable
to see. No, I don't know if I'd be disqualified
for saying this is what I wanted to do,
but it does seem like
it'd be fun to start the year,
stream a bunch of indie games
that no one really wants to watch, have
January be kind of like my sub
six or 700 viewer
thing, and then
crank it into just chatting in
February and go that
way for the rest of the year and see what happens. That would be pretty good. I do love
looking through a lot of these categories and knowing absolutely nobody, but also the fact
that there's a category called best brand partner. That's probably to a best people paying
for this award show. Oh, it definitely is. It's awarded to a brand that is helping streamers
aspirations come through
or come true through brand
partnerships and sponsorships.
Streamers are able to do more than ever imagined
with the powers of
Red Bull, Cash App, GamerSups,
and AT&T.
First off,
Red Bull, I kind of get.
The other three
are, that's so, like that, they paid for this.
They're going to have ads during the show.
Yeah.
I love it. It's like gamer subs.
You know, the,
The one that has boobs on the mugs is really helping gamers meet their objectives and their dreams.
It's really helping streamers' dreams come true.
Talking their powdery drinks is helping everyone complete their dreams.
It's just, I just, I hate it.
I think of what I also hate is like a lot of these just feel like a big circle jerk of just like, we're all great here.
Like this is literally the first, if you look at this award.
show. The very first one was
we're making an award show to give our friends awards
because we love each other. Right. That's it.
And now it is continuing.
And yeah, every once in a while they'll have
other people. And
you know, the reason why it has anyone who gives
a damn is because all the
friends in it are like
the top, top, top, top streamers.
Yeah. It's... It wasn't like
a Twitch made
this. It's a streamer made
this for other streamers.
Yeah. So of course it's not going to
like, what did the community think? It's going to be like, what did we, my friend group think?
Yeah. And so it's obviously one of those things where it's like, it's awards for their friends.
And then it became their friends and some other big streamers. And now it's like some of my
friends and big streamers. Because obviously they're like, dude, we can grow this like an insane
amount. Right? Like that's what it becomes. And it's like that for a lot of award shows.
Like even the ones on TV, like the Oscars or like all that shit. I'm just like, dude, I just don't care.
Like, I don't know.
That's probably more of a me thing.
No, I think award shows are boring.
They always, unless you're in them, they're boring.
We've talked about that before.
I think they're, they're not that fun to watch.
However, I do think what makes the video game awards good is that Keeley was like,
no, this is like a game award show plus E3.
I know a lot of people get upset about it being like trailers and stuff.
That's the only reason people care.
I've got to be honest with you.
Yeah.
No, it's the main reason I care.
Otherwise, I wouldn't watch the game away.
Yeah, like when they're just like game of the year, this thing,
it's just, it boils down to like, oh boy, I hope the thing I want to win wins.
And then you're like, yay, it won, or, oh, man, it didn't win.
That sucks.
And that's it.
Like, you don't get anything out of it.
Unless it's one of those things where they're like, vote for us and we'll give you
in-game currency, in which case, then you get something.
Yeah, like, if I have friends or I know people, I wish them well and I hope they win,
and that would be, you know, I'm excited for that.
them. If I was nominated for something, I'd be excited for me. But like, as an outside observer,
it doesn't particularly matter. Yeah. Like, even having gone to some of the award shows,
I'm like, yeah, no, I'd much rather watch it home. Like, being here is, whatever.
Yeah. No. So it's, anyway, that's old man yells at award shows segment.
I like that. Um, but, you know,
what brand is helping podcasters achieve their dreams?
That's the one. That's the one. Good job.
Yep.

All right.
Let's go to our traffic.
Sam, 7,000, ground,
I was that traffic out there.
Oh, man, we've got weather, or wait, traffic.
Well, you know, the weather can't impact the traffic, you know.
That is the way it works.
And currently it is.
I mean, we got holiday weekend.
Yo, Thanksgiving, this week, for America at least.
Other people don't care.
So, yeah, that's going to be a lot of traveling.
People going to airports.
People going, driving all around, trying to get to Mima and Wewows House.
I mean, you know, somebody calls their grandparents
we while or something, right?
That's got to be, there's got to be at least one person out there.
I don't know what I'm talking about.
Thank you.
Wewa is who you're talking about.
Yeah, we while.
Wewa and Memo.
Yeah.
You went to baby speak all the sudden.
Yeah, we want.
Uh-oh, what happened to you?
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, what else?
I mean, what could have happened this week that did that?
Yo, you know what?
We watched Avatar.
What?
I don't know.
That's really no correlation, but I...
Avatar, the problem is there's so many avatars right now.
The Earthbender or the water, way of water?
Like Avatar 1, 2009, the...
Oh, where they were trying to get unobtainium.
Yeah, that one.
And so I've never seen that.
So we watched it.
And it was okay.
Dances with Smurfs is what it is.
It's literally...
Dances with Smurfs.
Yeah, it was, uh, like the, like the movie stuff was cool, like the environments and the all that thing, but then...
Oh, you mean the grand.
Yeah, and the grand was really cool.
The grand was great, yeah.
Yeah, and then, uh, the characters were just like the most forgettable.
Oh, you mean, I see you, Jake Sulee.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, no, they're, they're pretty forgettable.
Yeah, even this.
But now they're back.
Yeah, luckily they're back.
They're back and better than everybody.
I have not seen any of the new ones.
I don't know that I can be bothered.
Maybe one day, maybe, but I just don't care.
Yeah, it's just like, because normally you have like the main character and you're just like,
yeah, he's cool, but like, he's okay, I guess.
He's like some military guys just like, I don't understand.
And then he's like, I do understand.
And then you got like the crazy soldier man.
Looks like he's straight out as small soldiers.
just being like
That's an accurate
That's accurate portrayal
Yeah I kept being like
This guy looks like somebody
And I was like dude
The small soldiers
Army man
He straight up looks like it
And then what is his name
Like Giovanni Ribichi or whatever
The guy who's like
I gotta have my unobtainium
Yeah he kind of reminded me a mind flame
A little
He does have a little mind flame
Yeah little Clint Hackleman
He's like I don't care
Get me my end updadium
I need my unobtanium
Yeah
So yeah I mean it was
It was okay
definitely the moments in it as well that I found was funny because this was back when 3D
was popping off right and so there were clearly moments where it was like this is for the 3D
viewers like the planes flying around or the the dragon thing he's flying around and then it
goes on a little too long and you're like okay we could move on now now you now you remember
during this time people would leave the theater and be depressed right do you remember that
wait what there was a thing you could
look this up where people were depressed
because once they left the theater
they had to go back to the real world
and they were so taken with Avatar
that they wanted to live in that world.
What?
Yeah.
That's why Avatar, there's such high investment in it
because for some reason there are people
that really responded well to Avatar.
Now, I don't know who these people are.
It's not me, but there are many people
who are like, that's the world I wish I could live in.
like it's cool but that's insane that you'd be like depressed because you can't live in
avatar it was a thing people were really stressed out about it they were like i just want to be
there i want to live there with awa and jake sully more power to him uh so much so that so anyway
I saw that.
That was,
that's the traffic.
That's the traffic.
All right,
all right,
let's go to weather.
Woo, weather.
All right,
we've got eight weather requests.
And we have landed on
making a weather request
for Halifax,
Nova Scotia, Canada,
home of Canada's most visited
national historic site,
Halifax Citadel,
And our official food is the Don Air.
All right?
I mean, yes.
First off, yes.
I need to know.
I need to know what Don Air is, but okay.
It's like Con Air, but with a D.
Right, but Don Air.
In Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
It is currently, wee, 37 degrees Fahrenheit.
Feels like 37 degrees Fahrenheit.
Humidity, 75% pressure, 29.92.m. Sunrise, 4.39 p.m. sunset.
That winds 2 miles an hour, due point 30.
Zero on the old UV index in a moon phase of waxing crescent.
10-day.
Monday a.m. showers, 39 degrees.
Tuesday, 46, partly cloudy.
Wednesday, 50 with rain.
Thursday, 52 a.m. showers.
Friday, 41, partly cloudy.
Saturday, 35, mostly cloudy.
Sunday, 36, partly cloudy.
Monday, 46 with showers.
And Tuesday, 45 with showers and cat is running around meowing.
I hear that.
I hear the okay pie.
Okay, I did some digging.
I needed to know.
All right.
Donner, or Donair is a variation of the Donner Kabob.
Yep.
Which originated in Halifax, Nova Scotia in the early 1970s.
It's same thing, donner meat, right?
Except this time, in order to appeal to local tastes, originally, they offered the
Euro at Velos Pizza and Bedford, Nova Scotia.
But then Peter Gamalakus modified the recipe to suit local tastes,
replacing lamb with beef, and developing a sweet sauce made from evaporated milk, vinegar, and garlic powder.
What?
He tops it with chopped onions and tomatoes, which is, you know, that makes sense.
But then he just has, like, it's a different style of meat and a different sauce.
Huh.
But it's still, it's just a kebab.
It's just a don't a kebab.
You can get in a peat.
It's just like, yeah, so this is crazy.
There are regional variations and current status.
I love this.
The Halifax Dawn Air has inspired numerous regional variations across Canada.
In New Brunswick, Donairs include lettuce, while in Alberta variations include cheese and pepperoni.
Sure.
Despite these adaptations, the authentic Dawn Air remains a Nova Scotian specialty.
It's popular continues to grow.
Edmonton has embraced Donair
With nearly 120 shops featuring Donairs in their names
The city's Lebanese community
played a significant role in popularizing Donairs
It's literally just D-O-N-Air
Yeah
Sure
Notable establishments like the Athena Donair
It's funny too
Because you can get away with it being Doner Kabob
But also a diner, you know what I mean?
Oh yeah
All right, unlike the Halifax, Edmonton Donairs, often include variations like lettuce, Ziki sauce, and unique flavors like barbecue and pineapple curry.
What the heck?
Oh, they're just doing whatever the hell they want.
Yeah, they're doing whatever.
This is like a hot dog.
Like, you can, all right, sure, do whatever you want.
Yeah, they just start going crazy with it.
Ooh, it's been endorsed by notable figures like Anthony Bourdain.
Oh.
I guess
I mean
sure I don't know why you need to endorse the idea
of eating meat in a pita
that's pretty universal
it doesn't really matter what you put on it
yeah this is
we need to endorse this right now
let the people know
I guess they do
so they have their own
that's kind of like when you travel
a different places around the world
everyone kind of has their own weird
we sheared this meat from a hot thing
and put it in bread
everyone kind of has their own version
of that. Yeah, that's true.
So I'm here for that. I like it. That's good.
Yeah. I'm uh, I'm looking around the town.
It actually got a decent amount of stuff, variety.
Yeah. It's a, it's, uh, it's, it's Halifax, all right.
Uh, yeah. Uh, they got a Tim Horton's staple.
Well, of course. It is kind of, they got a tasty kitchen.
It's a Chinese place and a house. Uh, it actually looks pretty.
good uh they got the sushi jet the heck they got the happy garden it's just so far north it definitely is
it's just like it's not newfoundland right but it's like you know you're dealing with main
weather so i imagine the seafood's probably really good yeah but you know like what's
Smitty's family restaurant.
Like that's the...
Smitties?
I don't know if I'm going to go to Smitties and get chicken wings.
You know what I mean?
Or nachos.
Yeah, no, I don't think I am either.
Also, Smitties looks like it's a Denny's, but not.
But it's probably maybe it's Canadian.
I don't know.
Wait, what is...
Okay, this is the thing, but like right north of here is Prince Edward Island?
Yes.
How is that?
Prince Edward Island.
Yeah, but what's there?
not a whole bunch dude
the further north you go
when you start to get into like
St. Pierre and those are
they were like bootleg stops
back in the day
I mean as Prince Edward Island
were trying to smuggled booze into
the Americas but like
I yeah
I mean these are people live here
the further the further
yeah like it's a
if you look at the different places
and you look at the
the homes
it's very small
it's like very country and rural
or it looks like
when you look at photos of Iceland
in some places
where it's like
oh look these beautifully colored houses
oh they're that way
because it snows so much
yeah I see
interesting
listen I've just
I've never heard anybody be like
I'm from Prince Edward Island
so it just kind of feels weird
probably because most people aren't
they probably have to move there
it's like Alaska
a lot of people aren't from Alaska
but they definitely move there.
That's fair.
Yeah.
Well, that's the weather.
Okay, let's go to sports.
Sports.
Time for sports.
Here is the sports.
Okay, sports.
Sports.
Sports.
All right, here we are.
At the sports desk, currently.
We've got NFL games.
Scores
And games
We got Texans
Beat the Bills on Thursday night
That's a crazy game
Ravens beat the Jets
Chiefs beat the Colts
As they came back
They were down like
Quite a bit
Colts blew it
Titans
Lost to the Seahawks
Actually got closer
And it should have been
Packers crushed the Vikings
Lions barely beat the Giants
And overtime
Patriots beat the Bengals
Bears beat the Steelers
Uh
Falcons currently beating the Saints
Cowboys losing to the Eagles
217 right now. Cardinals
down to the Jaguars 17, 14
and the Browns are up on the Raiders
14 to 3.
In the NBA
we got the Pistons in first at 14 and 2
with the Raptors right behind
them. Well, numerous teams
behind them within one game
but Pistons best one. And then we got
the Thunder 16 and 1.
Mamma Mia. They lost one game
that's pretty wild with the nuggets right behind.
them. And in hockey, we got red wings in first, lightning and the Ottawa senators and the
Bruins all one point behind them. That's a close one. You got the hurricane atop the Metropolitan
with the New Jersey Devils right behind them. We got Colorado Avalanche, the best team in the
NHL right now, Dallas Stars behind them. And then you got the Anaheim Ducks in first with the
Golden Knights and the Cracken right behind them. See baseball officers.
season occurring. We had sources
Rangers Mets to swap
Simeon and Nemo.
Marcus Simeon and
Brandon Nemo traded.
Wow, we.
And that
is sports.
Okay.
What is our fact of the day?
Fact of the day,
fact of the day, fact of the day,
fact of the day, fact,
fact of the day.
You remember more dreams when you sleep badly.
Research suggests that if you sleep badly and wake up multiple times throughout the night,
you'll be more able to recall the content of any dreams you had.
You are also more likely to remember a dream when woken up from one.
That I believe.
That sounds correct.
Yeah.
So, I mean, I've had plenty of times where I wake up and I go back to sleep and I remember dreams.
Yeah, I, um, it sounds, it sounds reasonable to me.
I definitely have that vibe of like I'll have a dream and I'll have slept really well
and I'll be like, oh, I should remember that for Crendor and then I won't remember it all.
But any dream I wake up from the dream itself or I'm woken up from it or I wake up in the middle of the night while having a dream.
I usually do remember those more.
Yeah.
And it's because I mean, I remember I used to even like back a while ago.
I'd set an alarm just so I could wake up and like fall back asleep to remember my dreams.
Hmm, sure.
Because I was like, dude, yeah, you just, you wake up, you remember your dreams, which, I don't know if that was healthy, but, you know, I was like my early 20s.
Sure, yeah, no, I know a lot of people try to do that dream walking stuff, or they try to have lucid dreams and things like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, dreams are cool.
It's just, I mean, sometimes some dreams are more fun than others.
It kind of just all depends.
I know some people have terrible dreams
So they probably don't want to remember their dreams
Sure
I think I've talked about this before
My dreams are never
I either have extremely weird and bizarre dreams
Or dreams that are so mundane
That I almost question whether they were real
Fair right
Right like I had one dream for years and years
I don't have it anymore
But for years and years and years I had a dream
Back when I used to live in Ohio
There was on Far Hills Avenue
Like this like apartment community
and it was really close to this place called town and country mall
and that apartment community
I never lived there
but I dreamed about living there
so much in my like late 20s
and again I don't know why
I have no reason for any of this
but in my late 20s I dreamed that I lived there
to the point where I actually have in my life
thought about the places I've lived
and almost included that
that was crazy
that's how real it was
it genuinely is
I keep thinking like
because the dream was
I have an apartment there
as a secret second apartment
because I don't want people
coming over to see like
my game set up
this is my secret cool kid game area
and that's this apartment
my other apartment's the one
where I have the friends over
like the parties and stuff
but this is my other apartment
that's the cool apartment
genuinely
would be impossible to
happen with the money I had as a teacher
but like
it is weird that for some reason
that's what my brain did
I don't know why
couldn't explain it
but I very much to this day
sometimes will think
oh yeah no I had that
no I didn't I didn't have that apartment
I never had that apartment
you essentially just dream gaslit yourself
yes but I dreamt it so much
and I don't know why
I do understand why some people are like, what is real now?
Because that genuinely, to this day, I still think about like, but did I though?
Maybe I just, maybe I had trauma from something and I blocked up the memory of me getting that apartment.
Yeah.
But I don't know.
Feasibly, I don't know how it's possible.
But for some reason, it's just there in my brain.
Damn.
That is pretty wild.
Dreams.
How do they even work?
Fact of the day.
Okay.
Who has come to us with tears in their eyes?
We have people with tears in their eyes.
Dear illustrious sirs with tears in my eyes
and pockets full of little skittles with space butterflies.
I humbly ask,
do you think your content will be different in 20 years?
The author of Jojo's Bazaar Adventure
has been working out since the 80s
and is still ongoing since you guys
have been making videos about less than half that time,
any future predictions about what your work will be.
Also, please watch Jojo's truly greatest show
and Jesse would love it.
First off, I probably would.
Yes.
You probably would.
I have tried watching it.
It's not for me.
So.
I, man, truth be told, I think I started this so late that if you go back and watch some of my first videos, while the exact performance, performance is a rough word.
But, you know, like my inflections, the way I do things, has slowly changed over the years.
The content is still the same.
nothing has changed
and I think because I started so late
that that's not going to be a thing
that's going to happen to me
I might like the way I do things
might be a little different
but like the content of what it is
Will and I'm still going to be me
in 20 years.
Yeah. No, I can definitely see that
because I mean that's like me
I mean listen I've been doing YouTube for 16 years
in like two months
so I've almost hit 20 years
yeah
and I mean you can you can clearly see it
I've mentioned numerous times
so you go back watch watch
while leveling episode one and just skim through every like 20, 30 episodes and you'll watch
the evolution of Crenthor. So it's, you know, and everything's kind of chilled out, more slowed
down, you know, me included. So that's, that's kind of what's happened to me. So I mean, yeah,
you know, and then in another 20 years, I'm sure I'll be different, but, you know, maybe,
maybe not as drastic of a change. Because, yeah, I think when you're starting,
a younger, it kind of depends when you're starting
whatever you're doing. So like if you start at like
19 to like 39
is going to be different from like 39 to 59.
Like it'll still be changed, but I think not as drastic.
But I would imagine if you started,
I think the reason why we see a lot of
young people in their 20s
have so many like dramatic things
happen. Because your 20s is dramatic.
Yeah. And you're
in a space where people create drama.
So yeah, you'll see a lot of
people that started when they were 19 or 18
or 17 and I'll be like oh my god they're so immature what and then I realize oh no it's been 10 years
they're still only 27 you know what I mean and I'm like oh all right never mind that's my perception
of time messing with me I expect more out of people but I was 27 and I was immature immature shit
so I just had to pretend to be mature for eight hours a day while I was a teacher but the minute
I left I like was not at all yeah so you know
Well, there we go.
And then, we do, do, do, do.
Dear illustrious sirs with tears in my eyes,
they come to you with my eyes closed and my cards hidden.
Will you ever try to resurrect TB's Secret Hitler get-togethers?
I absolutely love listening to Jesse freak out in those.
I mean, just like the, not even, but like, co-optional lounge.
I feel like more than anything.
Yeah, I would, I don't know if I'd do Secret Hitler right now.
Yeah.
I don't know that I do that, but.
I would love to do like muffin time
That's a very fun game to play with friends
Muffin time
Muffin time
Yeah it's
Based off of those wonderful
80 FQM
Whatever the hell they're called
You know those, the animation
Yeah
I see
And they're very
I'm even in one and I can't remember the name of the damn thing
But it's based off of that
And it's very fun
Because basically it's a card game
Where your objective is to get rid of all the cards
but everyone's trying to stop you from doing that
and so
it can be so like it can be anything
each card maybe you have one card that's a trap card
and you could be the trap card could literally be yawn
and if you get another person at the table to yawn
your trap activates
or throw something at someone
and if they catch it it activates
or if they don't catch it it activates things like that
there's also one where I got it while playing
and it was like do not talk to
anyone else at the table.
I'm like, okay, so I sat there quietly and people were freaking out like, what's he got?
What's going on?
It's very fun.
It's chaotic as hell.
And it will make Mario party levels of enemies of your friends.
It's great.
That is pretty great.
Yeah.
And it isn't like a one versus five or it's like everyone for everyone and you're actively
trying to screw each other and it's like goofy as hell.
Yeah, that sounds pretty cool actually.
Yeah, it's actually, we've played it a bunch.
I think we have a thing over on the Patreon.
It was very fun.
But it also makes people get so angry.
Oh, yeah.
That's like any of those games.
Yeah.
Good stuff.
Yeah.
And I play that in a heartbeat.
Yeah.
And yes, that is the dear illustrious serves.
All right.
Well, what is our big new story of the day?
Big new story of the day.
Day, day, day.
Day.
Day.
Target workers and shoppers
slam companies' new forced greeting
policy. Nothing says
corporate joy like mandatory smiles.
Sure.
Target missed the mark on this new initiative.
A new staff policy at Target,
part of a program called 10-4
is forcing employees to engage with customers,
more. Employees within
10 feet of a customer
are now required to smile,
make eye contact, wave,
and use a friendly, approachable,
welcoming body language.
Oh boy. Yo, I hate it.
Oh, I hate it. Because you know it's like
it's an unenforceable thing.
So unless a man, now the manager's
job is to walk around and be like,
remember to smile. That's the same thing.
It's like, if you got time to lean, you got time
to clean. Through that.
Screw that.
Yeah, that is, I hate that.
Furthermore, staff within a four-foot radius of a shopper must also personally greet the customer and initiate a warm, helpful interaction.
Company said the new programs are an attempt to elevate shopping experience for patrons, making them feel truly appreciated.
Yeah, nothing says truly appreciated like being forced to talk to somebody.
Right?
We know when our guests are greeted, feel welcomed, and get the help they need.
that translates to guest love and loyalty
Custanzo said in a statement, USA Today.
That sounds like somebody who's a CEO
that never shops at Target.
Yes, yeah.
Heading into the holiday,
we're making adjustments
and implementing new ways to increase connection
during the most important time of the year,
powered by our team.
Target did not specify when the new policy will be implemented
or what would happen if an employee does not comply.
It's funny that this is what they're focusing on
when according to this very quick internet search I just did,
analysis shows on average Target prices have risen by 5% since the start of the year.
Yeah, that's the equivalent of like,
we didn't give you a Christmas bonus, but we got a pizza party.
Like, woo.
Yeah, they're saying that in the kitchen department of Target,
all those like kitchen appliance things are now raised by up to 96% in price.
but hey man at least they smiled when I went to the target
yeah thank God
weren't they dealing with the fact that no one was going to target
and so they're like you know what would improve that
smiling yeah that'll that'll change everything
three days ago
literally oh this is so funny
CNN business three days ago
the biggest reason America is turning on target and switching to Walmart
And I'm going to let you know.
I guarantee it's not because they weren't greeted.
One Reddit user who claims to be a target employee
shared that there has been an increase in secret shoppers
to see if they're abiding by the new rules.
Employees seen sounding off online about the new policy agree
it's likely to backfire.
Who the half is waving it guess?
If I was a shopper, I would find that creepy.
One target worker wrote,
Who the heck waves?
I've never waved that a guess that would feel uncomfortable doing
so. One worker mocked the policy
saying, the person
who came up with it is obviously an alien and
should be investigated. There is no
way they've lived on this planet for years think
waving is completely natural thing to do
with guests. Nothing says corporate joy
like a mandatory smile.
Yeah, that's...
Despite the backlash.
Despite
the backlash, Target's new policy
is not marked different from the
other major consumers facing roles, though it
appears to take concept a few steps further
than the others. Walmart's 10-foot rule
requires employees to make eye contact with
customers. Meanwhile, Disney theme parks
have a 10-5 rule in which
cast members must smile, make eye contact
at 10 feet, and greet them within 5 feet.
Well, it's like a Disney theme park.
That's different. It's different if, like, Go-ho!
And you're like, hey, it's goofy.
Instead of like, hello there.
It's like, oh, that's John from
electronics. Yeah.
Dude, the amount of just boomer
people in the comments section
is also, like, insane.
They're just like, far too many workers today are selling rude and even contemptuous of patrons.
Like, dude, you're going to use the word contemptuous in an article about Target?
If you hate your job and you hate your customers, you should quit your job.
It's the customers who fuel the business.
Oh, God, one of these.
This is the type of person that, like-
If everyone who hated their job quit, you would have no one working at Target.
Yeah.
On the other, oh, my God, they keep going.
On the other hand, I hate overly friendly employees.
who get in your face and try too hard.
Like, dude, this is the
never going to be pleased person.
Like, Jesus Christ.
Then people need to get out of their shells.
The company shouldn't have to ask for this,
but retail in America has digressed so much
from small town Main Street days.
That's because you killed it
by going to Walmart and Target.
You killed small town Main Street, boomers.
You did that.
And you know that they go to the store and they're just like, where's this item?
And they're probably like, it's right over here.
And they're like, well, I don't see it.
Where?
Like, the person is like, ah, this is unbelievable.
Like, we're out of this thing.
Like, I'm going to talk to your manager.
Like, you know, they're just the annoying.
This is the person that everybody hates in a retail store.
It's like some of these people.
They're like, back in the old maintenance.
It's like they think they're back and like leave it to beaver small town.
Like, you know, sody pop and a thing.
And we'll just, you know, have a group.
You know the reason why that guy was like, hey there, mister, welcome to the store.
So nice to see you is because he could afford a house on that salary.
Now, you can barely pay rent and you're expected to be like, hey there, mister, come on in.
I'm so happy to be at this job that doesn't pay me at all.
And then I get yelled at by people like you.
Yeah, like, come on now.
So much fun.
100% is you don't, they don't have any inclination of what the world really.
is like. Oh, yeah. They're stuck in there. Like, I have a home. I've had a home for 25 years.
I don't understand the problem. Why are y'all acting like this? Yeah.
It's like, cause you've, you haven't, it's like when, um, you hear like, uh, rich dudes talk.
It's like that, that, uh, it's a banana. How expensive could be $10? Yeah.
Like that. Yeah, it's. And, you know, ironically, it's also, uh, that same person that's
probably making this policy. I don't even, either way, that's the big.
