Today's episode is brought you by Uncommon Goods. Uncommon Goods has got the holiday gifts you need for your family, your friends, and hey, even yourself. Let's jump to this podcast. Hello, everybody. It's time for goes on Freddoll. Let me sit, pretend on in the morning. In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live, live. In four-hour recording studio, recording.

Hello, is up in the frog in the morning. Hello, everybody on the excited of episode of Guys in Grendor in the morning. Watch out. There's a frog in his throat. There really is. I can't get it out. He's down there like, rib it. What up, brother? And I'm like, I would rather you leave, my man. It's hopped in there, and he's just trying to get his way out. Now he's just stuck. So now both he were having a bad time.

Sounds like I've been doing karaoke all night, but that is not the case. Well, how's your, what have you been doing? I was going through clothes. Not my usual ritualistic get rid of stuff, but I am now currently, I'll say my big boys and my big girls know what I'm talking about. I'm now currently on my weight loss journey to the point where I am in between sizes. and so things are significantly too big and significantly too small. I see what you mean. When I wear stuff, like a shirt, it's just too big.

But if I go one size down, I feel like a sausage. And so it looks ridiculous, and I've got very little options. And so I'm just kind of sorting through things now in my closet of what doesn't fit anymore, what still fits, and then what I bought thinking would fit and has not fit yet. Like how many of your clothes are going to not fit then? Is it just like specific ones like baggier? Well you know that I

already have minimal amounts of clothes. That is very true. So I'm this basically is going to lead to me having to go shopping but even going shopping is going to be like I'm going to have to try everything on which is a whole thing. And so

yeah, some of my shirts as an example, are just too baggy and look too long. And some of my pants, even with belt on, if I start moving, they will fall off. But then I bought a new pair of pants thinking like, yep, I'm gonna fit in those. Not yet, Crendor, not yet.

Nope, still squeezing in those bad boys. I'm like, okay, well, that's unfortunate. Damn. Here's a thing with like clothes and stuff. I always get really confused with clothing sizes because it feels like there's so many different types of size it's like shoes where it's like you can have the same size shoe but then some are like too big, some are too small,

some are like just right, it's like, I don't know how they, I guess maybe just because certain sizes have different manufacturing things and the ways they make stuff and like there's airs and stuff. So I don't know. It's just like it's all confusing. That's absolutely true, especially when it comes to all the different

brands and all the different companies like I in a very small microcosm way found this out when I was looking for a fitted hap what the shit did I just say Crendor a fitted hap dude a fitted hap that frog's taking over

your brain a fitted cap a ball cap when the Dodgers were in the world series and it was that time where I was like I realized I don't really have all that much Dodger merch I got to support the team why I don't know

I was caught up in the fever and so I went to go look for a hat at this place in the mall and all they do is have hats they have so many hats and most of them are fitted so I was like cool this would be a great time

to try them on and figure out exactly what size I am so I started putting hats on found one that said I was I think it was seven and three-fourths so I put that on my head fit perfectly I was like all right this is the one

but I don't necessarily like this hat maybe I'll go look at other ones found another hat 7 3 4th put it on it was too big I was like huh alright so I pulled off 7 3 4th went one size down that size fit I was like okay

so I took that and I think that's like 7 and 3 8th or whatever it was or 7 and a half maybe and I put it down I'm like okay great well that that smaller one fit so let me go back to the other one

maybe it was just a weird size thing put on the other one seven and whatever the lower one was does not fit and I'm like what so then I go and I try a different one on and now I'm a totally different size and that's why I go to the lady at the counter I'm like all right I got a question

I got three different sizes saying up and she's like oh yeah okay so you're probably trying different brands of hats. Also, when hats have side patches or things sewn into them, it changes the fit and makes them a little tighter. So she's like, there's all these different things.

Also, if you've got like a flat brimmed hat or a built, like a sort of curved brim or like all these different things go into it. She's like, oh yeah, no. It's like each hat's its own thing. And I was like, well, then how would I see ads online for fitted hats. how would you know what to buy online? She's like, oh, people return those all the time. Dude, that's the other thing.

Like so many people even just buying online, you're probably like, oh, yeah, I'm sized this and you get it. And you're like, it doesn't fit. Like the amount of just waste, then you have to return it. It's just like, it sucks. Yes. Yeah, if you're curious, listener, how that story ended, I bought a non-fitted snapback hat.

A non-fitted snap. I don't even know what that means. So is it just like, it's stretching? One that has the buttons in the back. Oh, yo, honestly, that's got to be the best one. It is. I love it. It's a great hat. And I just button the back.

And it's not as cool looking as a fitted hat. It doesn't go all the way around, but it fits whenever I need it to. Yeah. No, that's, we need to go back to every hat just has those in it. And then you just, you know, we need less waste. But that's not going to happen. So we won't. Honestly, I don't even think I've seen one of those types.

of hats in a while. But I'm not a big hat person either. Neither am I. I am slowly going back into my hat phase. And I'm enjoying it a great deal because it turns out I really did enjoy keeping sun out of my eyes. It works well. Dude, speaking of sun, it's like sunny here because we got snow. So we had like last week, we had like 10 inches of snow. And then yesterday, We got another like four inches of snow or something But Honestly here it's not bad because like we're so used to the snow The like after it snows the streets are like pretty much fine

Because you like you got plows and shit going crazy They got the roads salted and all that shit It's like all right whatever so My favorite part of the snow is that normally when it gets dark early here It's like oh man, it's dark and dreary and sad But now with the snow it like reflects the like the moonlight and that type of thing so it actually gives it this twilight vibe

at nighttime instead of like full darkness so you can go out at night and just be like hey I can actually see stuff it's actually pretty nice I like it do you do a lot of outside snow things I know Chicago must have a lot of snow related activities uh growing up I did

like we would go out and like build snowmen or snow forts and houses and stuff like that and then, uh, he'd go sledding and stuff. Now I don't. Now I'm, I'd probably like fall apart doing that. I'm already falling apart, but I would fall apart even more. Gotcha. So when you say I went out at night and I saw the reflection of the moon on the snow and it was very bright. You can see stuff in the twilight. Yeah. What you meant was I walked into my front yard, looked around. It was great. Yeah. Well, either like looking out the window or like getting the mail. Yeah. You're just like.

Not necessarily outside, just outside adjacent. Yeah. Or like if you go to the store or stuff, like really, it's more just like a aesthetically pleasing type of thing. I'm with you 100%. Living in Buffalo, one of the things I really enjoyed was when it really snowed. At night, it would seem very bright because the snow was reflecting the light. Cool stuff. I agreed completely.

I just thought you were saying, you know, I like going out at night and the snow and getting up to stuff. No, you meant the snow looks nice. Yeah, that's more what I'm. man. Yeah. That was that's been fun because I mean, I like the snow. It's just like, the annoying parts, once you're just tired of the snow and it like hits like January and February and it's just like all piled up and it's just dirty and like slushy

and brown and it's like cars are driving over and you're just like, all right, I'm, I'm good. But like now in like December and like maybe early January, it's fun. do you do like I know here in L.A. Even though we don't have snow that there are a lot of the more Ritzy communities

will do like light shows where you drive through the community or gardens will do that do that stuff but in the snow yeah we do that I mean I haven't done it personally

in like a while but I remember growing up we'd go to some we thought about going the one the other year though we didn't so you know it's so funny that it's like

yeah no we do that I mean, I don't do that personally. It's been like in terms of people in the area and love doing that. Right, right, right. Yeah, the communal sense of weed. Right. Yeah, honestly, that's one of my favorite things when people put up their decorations and lights and everything. Dude, one of my favorite thing is the big inflatable stuff.

Like people putting a big inflatable Snoopy or like big inflatable, like a Yeti or a lot of people have like the skeletons and shit like that. have you seen like giant skeletons you have those in LA oh yes except the difference is I'm sure where you're at and for most of the rest of the world

except Florida I'm going to say but most of the rest of the world you have like creepy skeletons and cobwebs and like bats and all that stuff for Halloween and you have like the Santa and the reindeer and elves and tinsel and whatever

here thematically it's always roughly the same which is like if it's Halloween, it's skeletons in swimwear and like, whoa, we're looking out in the water. What's that? Or it's like Santa on a surfboard. He's calabunging, dude.

Like, that's the vibe. It's Christmas, but like, you know, the people that really deck the halls with their house do it in sort of like Southern California themed. And I feel like the only other place in the world that does that is probably Florida. It definitely is Florida. Yeah, no, it's, yeah, because like here we have. got one of my favorites is there's like a person with the skeleton outside but they like change it year round so it'll be like summertime they do what you just said and then like fall they got like a

like Thanksgiving theme or like Halloween theme and then like winter they got like a Christmas hat on the skeleton but it's the giant yeah the giant ones I imagine it's one of those things they agreed as a family oh yeah we're never taking that down that's too hard to take down I think they just enjoy it they're probably like the community He sees the skeleton and they're like, what are they gonna do next? Like that type of thing. They're just like having fun with that. Yeah, I love my favorite Christmas decorations always just the big blow-up, like inflatable things.

I saw like an inflatable grinch. You see the snowmen, penguins, like Santa. Like I love all the, and then for Thanksgiving, saw a bunch of like turkeys and shit. Since you just said Penguin, I must stress. For some reason, over the last week, it has been brought back to my attention numerous times from different people that the video of Benedict Cumberbats trying to say Penguin is making

a comeback and I think it really upsets him. Every time people ask him about it he gets visibly upset now. I don't know have you seen the original, I think it's like a Graham Norton clip or something where they show a documentary that he did where it's

about penguins, except he calls them penguins. I feel like I have seen that. He's like, the male penguin. Everyone's like, can you not say penguin? He's like, I never learned how to say it. I say it that way. And they're like, it's so funny because they asked him to do a documentary and the man can't say penguin. He says penguin. Penguin. It's great. So people keep asking you about it. And he just like has this like glazed over look of like, this is my life now.

I imagine it's how Ben Star must feel when everyone brings up the photo of him getting blinded by the light. You know, honestly, penguin might be a vocal stem. Maybe penguin. Now that I know what they are, I am open to the idea. Yeah. Because, yeah, we did the, uh, the too old for this, almost too old for this channel. We did the, uh, the vocal stims.

And I'm, I still don't know exactly what a vocal stem, like I think I know. But then I think the video you watched just also didn't really make sense. You know what I mean? Like, they would just use. clips of like, here's my favorite thing I watched or some shit like that, right? I genuinely think that I'm right on the money when it comes to what it is. So, like, it very clearly is an ADHD, like, you know, autistic thing that is something that when you repeat it or say it in certain scenarios gives you some sort of mental comfort.

Yeah. Like, it eases the mind. Right. But I also think that while it is very much a real thing, the internet, like it always does, co-opted it and made it something completely different. Because it seems like a lot of the vocal stims that are in those videos are just like, that's my favorite line from that show. And I don't know that that counts as a vocal stem.

It's like a lot of the other times, especially, you know, in the ADHD world. Like when people say I have OCD and then you watch their air quote, it's OCD and it's like not, you know what I mean? Right. I think it's that. I think it's one of those things where people just say stuff online. It doesn't necessarily mean it's real. And I think that's the case here where vocal stems are real, but the examples people are

using, for the most part, don't seem to actually be vocal stems. But maybe they are. I don't know that there's rules. Yeah. Because like it feels like it's becoming a more broad term. Because, like, in terms of it, I just think of, like, saying a phrase or, like, you or you, like, you hum or whistle. Like, I feel like that's the type of vocal stimming. Just like any type of that.

But I feel like, to me, it's, like, short and quick. Or, like, you know what I mean? Or just like, hmm, hmm. But once it starts being, like, this entire, you know, thing, like, my favorite moment from the show is. It's just like, that just becomes, like, like, I guess it could technically be, but I don't know. I don't get it. But I get it at the same. time. Yeah, again, I think it also might be preference-based because when I look at the vocal

stems people were talking about, it was things that were just lines of dialogue. And I was like, wait, so do you repeat that over? Because for me, when I think vocal stems, I think like something that in my head or, you know, whispering to myself or whatever, I will just repeat over and over again, because it's funny to say. Right. Right. Like, I think I could definitely get behind going, Scooby! Like, that would make me laugh hysterically, no matter when. But there's some words full lines,

and I'm like, why would I, why would I say that? Yeah, no, the Scooby thing sounded like something you would just say yourself anyway. Like, yes. Streaming or something. And some of those other ones are full on, like paragraphs.

I'm like, there's no way. I'm going to sit there and say that to myself over and over and over again. But then I realized maybe vocal stimming is different for everyone. And my need for something to repeat over and over and over again is not what someone else needs. So, you know, I was like, I don't know enough information, to be honest. Yeah, I'm not really trying to, like, judge it. I'm more just confused by the specifics, I guess.

You and me both. Yeah. So, yeah, vocal style. Also, in that thing, you literally had the vocal stem because you go, Sue? That was it. I heard. I heard that you were obsessed with that Sue

It sounds like soup But like cut off Sue Well maybe that's Maybe that's what I was going for Let's see Yeah What the

You play any fun video games I am still playing The Gold Diggers game I don't even know what that is Did I not tell you about revenge Revenge on Gold Diggers I must have I don't think so

I didn't tell you about revenge on gold diggers dude Okay Revenge on Gold Diggers is a Chinese FMV game Where you Play as a man Whose entire life Is built around getting revenge On this woman who broke his heart

And took his money Right And so Chapter 1 of this game Is a man like a You know your average doughy looking Like Chinese dude Who looks like he's cast

because it looks like he gets like picked on all the time like that kind of guy and he's standing on the edge of a building he's going to throw himself off the building and then the handsome lead stops him and is like dude what's going on what happened he's like

she took all my buddy pro I loved her so much he took my body and then you go in a stairwell and you and he drink a bunch of hyniquins and then your character regales this guy with the tail of how he too was

ripped off by the love of his life Except as chapter one plays out and you go through this story, he's just a lonely delivery driver who watches this girl on stream and he simps over this girl. It's not even love, dude. I was like, wait, what? So then, as it goes on, this girl starts messaging him because she's like flirting with him and he thinks it's love, but she's really just trying to lure him into a trap to give her money. and every time I made the choice to not do it the game would end and it would give me a good ending and it would be like, yes, that's actually quite smart of you and it gives you, there's like a dossier section where it gives you advice on dating tips

and they're all really good dating tips except the premise of the game still is we're gonna break these women I was like oh my god but the dating tips are like the girl in the game is trying to do a sub-a-thon thing but it's like a versus challenge

against some other guy and she's begging like please help me please help me and one of the things that happens in it is you can help her or not and if you don't you turn off your phone and go to bed and the game ends and it's like good job

the moral of this ending is you don't know this person it's a peril social relationship why on earth would you give them money and then I look to chat as I'm playing and suddenly all these donations coming. It was very funny. I was like, uh-huh.

Okay. All right. But it's like that thing where the game is saying like, you don't know this person? Or if you go on a date and the date says they're going to pay and then they wait for you to pay and it's like, no, no, no. They said they were going to pay give them the damn check. Like that kind of thing.

Or it's like, don't let people use you. Some good advice. But again, framed in we are going to get revenge. on gold diggers. So, anyway, this guy is being lured in by this streamer. And I even asked Chad, I was like, is this thing that happens? Does this happen to people?

And they're like, yes, it really does. I was like, I can't believe that. Apparently, and maybe this is like a big thing in China, I don't know, but apparently streamers will use their platform. And in this case, they're saying it's women, but I imagine it's a lot of people, use their platform to get people interested in them

then give them their number talk to them sometimes it's not even the real person sometimes they pay to scam you and then they're like oh I need this money for this thing and then because you think we're in a relationship you'll start sending money to them

and then sometimes they'll even meet people and like do the oh yeah we're dating for reals and then just take money so it sounds crazy it feels crazy because as the chapter goes on this girl is like, the company I work for, they say they're going to send me to Japan to do porn

if I don't, you know, listen to what they say. And so she's like, please, I need money to get out of the situation and buy myself out of my contract. And you're like, I love you, baby, of course. Meanwhile, my first answer was like, not my problem. You know what? I don't even know you. I don't, you know what? I'm leaving. And it was like, good ending.

You're right. You didn't know them. They were lying to you. And I'm like, yeah, no shit. but then like it keeps getting worse and worse to the point where she threatens to kill herself and at that point I was like nope walked away and it was like that's right doing that's emotional manipulation

and I was like no shit so I'm losing repeatedly it really just wants you to get conned so I'm like okay so I do all the answers that get me conned and she takes like $70,000 for me and leaves and I never hear from her again the chapter ends with me

being in the stairwell with this dopey guy and being like, and that's when I decided to get revenge on gold diggers. I'm like, okay, here we go. Chapter two starts, you playing as the hot lead guy are going to go find the girl who took this dopey guy's money,

seduce her, get all the money back and then break her. That's your plan. And to do this, you have a secretary who is like, I can be whatever you want me to be his girlfriend. Like, she's, she's in, she's like a former gold digger or like a retired gold digger.

She's now here to help you get revenge. Then there's an old, grizzled, like, detective guy who I love, great character. And then the goofy hacker guy. And they're like, let's get revenge. And all of chapter two is about convincing this streamer girl that you're important, that you have a girlfriend, that she can steal you away from and luring her into a trap where at the end you steal like $120,000 from her dude

and then you pay back everyone else the whole reason this game is amazing and the point I'm getting to is after the end of chapter two there's a moment where the girl you just took the money back from is like sobbing and she's like he ruined me I can't believe I was

conned by a man and then another woman walks in the room and you discover it's the woman from when he got conned and all of these women are part of a league of gold diggers

who work together as some sort of multi-level marketing scheme of gold digging and there is like a legion of doom and they are run by like a ball of evil ladies who are out to get guys and you're like the only one who can stop them and they're all like

we will destroy him. And from there, it gets so crazy, dude. I can't express how crazy this game is. Brilliant. Game of the year. I've never laughed so much in my entire life. I've never, like, the amount of faces I'm making things happen in this game that I've never seen in a game. I'm like, I'm sorry, what? Brilliant. Just brilliant. I laughed so hard. That is, that sounds actually insane. It is great And I know it sounds like spoilers But that's through chapter two And there's like seven chapters And it's not

It's the setup I just Like I can't spoil how insane it gets You know I actually After playing those last couple of FMV games Like I get them next

I used to be like I don't know But they are pretty goofy and fun If you find like The wacky one Yeah I think there's a difference between the fun of one that

even if it takes itself serious, the concept is silly, versus ones that are like very much trying to be a movie. You know what I mean? Yeah, because like, I prefer the one where there's like more options

and endings and stuff like that rather than just like playing through a visual novel or something. Unless there's like different types of options. Or it's like, wacky, funny. Like, I guess with the other Chinese one we played, that was like a visual novel, but it's more like, you're going to get souped. Like, you're going to get stabbed with a hairpin, like that type of shit.

So it's kind of wacky. Yeah, I mean, most of them really at its core are visual novels, except the visuals are moving. Yeah. Which I'm kind of fine with, because if I don't have to read it, then we're good. Yeah, yeah. No, speaking of which, I'm almost. done with the second book of Game of Thrones. You're doing it.

I'm doing it. Speaking of visual novels. Yeah. It's a, well, it's a novel that you create the visuals for in your head. It's true. And it's still going great. I'm, uh, let's check our Winds of Winter update. Let's see, Wins of Winter

Update. Anything, anything crazy here? Wait, update? As of six days ago? Hold on. Exposes the delay. Wait, it says, Wins of Winter Update, New Game of Thrones sequel project exposes George R. Martin's delay. I said, I knew that.

Did he say something? I don't know. What does that mean? Oh, actually, I think someone brought this up on my live stream. Apparently, he's just struggling with all the different storylines he's created. Admittedly, there are many storylines in Game of Thrones. And I know you're only in the second book, but like, by the time you get to feast, for example, there's so many, the TV show for everything did wrong, it did some things right, combining characters, and it saves time, and it's less of a stressor. However, with that said, the TV show also got rid of a bunch of characters that are super important to the story.

Right. That's also the fun part of reading the books, too, is like you get to see all that, but like, it's, uh, it's like there's so much for TV that they can't do. And here, it says that, uh, let's see, Martin himself has admitted that the sheer size of the manuscript, which he estimates will reach 1,500 pages and the complexity of tying together a dozen novels, each with a different protagonist, has been a major cause of the slowdown. The original source material for the TV adaptation ran out entirely, forcing the showrunners to plot the final two seasons behind only minor outlines of Martin's intended ending. With even more live action projects now in the works, it appears that it could keep getting delayed, because obviously, yeah. So, yeah, it's... I mean, honestly, I do think he'll release the Wins of Winter at some point, but I don't think we're going to ever get the final book.

He probably never thought it was going to get to this point either, right? You're just like writing your books in the 90s, like, hey, this is fun, like early 2000s and then it just all blows up with the TV show and then it's like here we are so I mean it is a lot so yeah that's there's the Winds of Winter update

everybody's been craving on our podcast specifically I also I mean like that's what we're here for yeah I also saw an unbelievable review of review bra for the Grinch meal

the Grinch meal from where where is the Grinch meal from? So the Grinch meal is McDonald's. Yikes. The Grinch wants the holiday to march to the beat of his drumming, a most mischievous scheme to pucker those carols a humming. If he had it his way, there would be only gag gifting and no lights on trees. Just the Grinch meal for a limited time for your shopping sprees. You can get a Big Mac or 10-piece McNugget and you also get socks and a dill pickle

mickshaker fry okay yep so it's a grinch meal because you get socks essentially and then you get a little

shaker of dill spice yeah dill pickle seasoning so it's just like dill pickle salt and you just shake it up and then you get I guess dill fries

so uh but okay okay Now, I do believe the price of the meal is a bit higher. From what I saw, I think it was like $17, $18, which is actually insane. That's because you're paying for the socks.

Yeah, you're paying for the socks. You're paying for the socks. Which, by the way, can I just say, for everyone who's wondering what it looks like, it's literally just a Big Mac meal, except you get socks. Yes. That's it. It really is. I mean, there's so many of these, like, wacky meals now.

They've been going out. Like, they started with, like, you know, the, like, singers and actors meals. Like, here's the George R.R. Martin meal. And you're like, okay. And now they're just like, it's the Grinch. It's SpongeBob. Like, now they're doing cartoons and, like, shows. And it's just like, really it's a way for them to make more money selling the same shit is really what it boils down to.

It's kind of the same thing as the Starbucks bear. Just another reason to get you in the store. Yep, it is. And you know what? It works. It really does. There will be people who are like, I got to get the Grinch meal or the, you know, when people are like, I got to get the Kaisanat meal. Yep.

Well, speaking of, the streamer awards. Did you watch any of the streamer awards? I saw clips of the streamer awards. And it was something, all right. I did see a lot of clips. It feels exactly like every normal stream that a stream would, like there were technical difficulties, people were acting stupid.

It felt like a normal stream on the internet, except it was supposed to be like a gala of glamour and the internet's finest. It was like, no. Yep, it's, it's, uh, man, it's just like, I hate just how normie Twitch has become. It's just like, I don't know if that's also just me like being nostalgic, it probably is. But like, it's just become such a mainstream thing. And there's like so much more IRL stuff now and just with that comes just like people doing shitty stuff.

people driving and breaking the law while driving and streaming it and somehow like not going to jail, probably because money, uh, just like, some of those people were up for awards last night. They really were. Uh, you know, there's people just saying like racial slurs

at the live stream award or the streamer awards. There's just like, it's just I hate it. I just and then people always like, well, you know, back of the day, people would just chat over Harstone. But yeah, they still had the play Harstone, right? Like, they still had to sit at the computer and play it. Like, I don't know.

I would, I wish they just branched off, like, Twitch into its own little gaming section, and then they could also just have, like, a Twitch IRL. There's just two separate websites. They can own them, but they can own both of them, but just have two separate websites. That whole, uh, live stream walk around thing is interesting because it definitely, you could see it last night and the way people were behaving, because everyone was like, this is my moment to get on screen. Yep. There was a lot, like a lot of that of people just like grabbing microphones or jumping on like stage and you're like, yeah.

Who would have guessed? Who would have guessed that a bunch of narcissists getting together would create those types of issues? The getting together parts of the funniest thing to me because I saw a Reddit post and it made me laugh because it was talking about, you know, the logistics of getting everyone in that room. And I never thought about this, but it made me laugh so hard because one of the comments was that it must have been a massive undertaking to get all of I Show Speed and Kai Sinat's people there. And getting them to the show, I realized that must have been a mess. Because even trying to communicate with average streamers and expecting a response. I'm like, Speed and Kai, if you like went and message them, how do you even get, they like showed up with crews. Yep.

So I just think it's very funny that it's like, that probably was an undertaking. So, you know, I give the awards all the credit because I can't imagine it's easy to deal with like, not just streamers, but streamers that are on the level of like real celebrities. Yeah. No, it's, I mean, like, these people have been on like TV shows. They've been on like, like just crazy shit. and it's just like it blows my mind

because I'm just like they're just live streamers like I don't know with that said though I am consistently impressed by I show speed at first I was like this stupid kid he's just doing dumb stuff

and like what an idiot I don't know if it's the traveling he's done or if he just has emotional maturity that a lot of the other people don't have but he clearly didn't start from that place dude was setting off fireworks in his room, right? Yeah, yeah, I remember that.

When I hear him talk, when I watch him interact with other people, he's like respectful and seems like a sweetheart and like actually like I'm here for the business and I'm trying to do stuff and be a role model to people. Dude, I don't know what's going on. I don't know if it's for a show. But every time I see him, I'm like consistently impressed. And it's, it's one of those things that's like that is a streamer who's the top of the game not acting like a piece of shit. And frankly, I'm here for it. Well, I mean, he's also done some piece of shit things throughout. Oh, yes, for sure.

He started in the piece of shit zone for sure. And I've just been watching him mature. I don't expect a 19 year old. I guess he's 20 now, but like I don't expect a teen to be rational. You know what I mean? It's either that or he's gotten better at hiding it, which is possible. Yeah, welcome to the show, man. I just don't trust any streamers and YouTubers after we've done this for so long.

Like, I really, I would have to, like, meet them and get to know them before I would trust them. I just, like, I genuinely don't trust anybody in this industry. Is that you in general in life? Because I feel like- Oh, yeah, it might just be me in general. Yeah, because generally I'm very trusting. I trust you until you give me a reason not to. That's true.

Which definitely bites me in the ass sometimes. That's for sure. Yeah. But I feel like it's just an easier way to live than be like, I am suspicious of everyone. And I am. I genuinely just. Yeah. I just It doesn't mean I don't like

somebody either. It's just it just means I don't trust them until I like actually know them, which is like... That's because you have experience with like some bad people. I get it. Yeah. I think in this industry and I'm sure many industries are the same, but I think we've met people who put on a face

and then straight up lied to us repeatedly. Oh yeah. Plenty of time. Like that's yeah. I think I'm with you in the same boat. I just instead of saying man I don't trust nobody I'm like those people were assholes not everyone's an asshole

those people just were and that's what I learned from that which again not necessarily smart I get burned from time to time but it's like how I feel yeah it's uh I mean it's like when we were doing the React thing as well where you're like I'm gonna trust

that the comment section's like this and I'm like it's not it's not And you were right. Let's be real. You were right. Yeah. And, you know, it also leads to me being cynical and more antisocial and probably anxiety-inducing. But, you know, it's just the way I aim. It's just what it is. Just what it is, man. So, yeah, that's the Grinch meal.

But, you know what's better than Grinch Meals and streamers? Uncommon Goods? If you're running out of time, my holiday elves, if you still have names on your list, don't panic.

I've got planters, which I tried and failed to grow peppers in. Look, if you leave for two weeks and return to L.A. thinking the plants will survive the heat, they won't. And you're wrong. Also, I mentioned this before, but I got this clay pottery contraption thing that allows me to put my phone in it, and the conical nature amplifies the sound, so it's like a speaker. It makes me not have to hook it up to a Bluetooth or whatever. I just put my phone in while I get in the shower and listen to whatever I'm listening to. Basically, I'm living in the 1920s, is what I'm saying.

I got a bunch of little stone men with faces. I got a felt cat, a coaster thing. I've got a bunch of little plant guys. It's great. I don't know what little plant guys means, but I want to know what I'm going to go to the website and look up little plant guys. Yeah, it's these little like stone plant men.

I love that. I think that's great. If I had plants still, mine hadn't died. Yeah. I came back. They were like dusted, dude. It's crazy. I was like, well, that's L.A. for you.

We got cold everywhere. We got snow, we got rain. We got the Arctic Blast, as the weather.com's calling it. We got, you know, just a lot of wacky weather out there.

Plus, we had all the, you know, holiday traveling going on. It's pretty wild. So watch out. And watch out for those giant skeletons, too. They're taking over. Back to you. Thanks, Crennorten, Alex. go over to Crendor at the Weatherdesk.

Let's that weather. Weather! All right, here we go. Sinaiya, Romania. It has the Peles Castle, which was the summer home of King Carroll, the first of Romania. It was recently voted as one of the top Halloween destinations due to the houses that seem to have eyes. It also has a great ski town since winter is coming.

Absolutely. If you go look up this town on Google, the first. things you see are the houses. And yeah, no, that's some haunted shit. That looks great. That is so cool. Oh my God, yeah. They look like, like a house that would eat you. They really do. That was wild. Um, let's see. We've got in Sinaya Prohova, Romania. It is 35, no, 38 degrees, but feels like 35 degrees. Humidity 90%, 30.0.04 inches of pressure. Visibility 4 miles, 7.44 a.m. sunrise, 4.34 p.m. sunset. Wins at 4 miles an hour, 2.36. U.V. Index, zero in a waning gibbous moon phase. Dendap.

Eithes. Uh, periods of snow later tonight. Reduced visibility. Watch out. Chance of snow 90%. 41 and cloudy on Monday. Tuesday, 43, mostly cloudy. Uh, Wednesday. Thursday, 48 and cloudy. Thursday, 52, partly cloudy. Friday, 45, sunny. Saturday, 45 sunny. Sunday, 43, partly cloudy. Monday, 41, partly cloudy.

And Tuesday, 43, partly cloudy. So this town is quite small. Yep. Like, it is clearly designed to be like, come up to our rich mansions in the sky. However, there's some funny things, because usually you see restaurants or whatever. And yeah, there's a,

Cuccina Sophia, which if you click it, it has, the very first thing is a video of someone's like emoji avatar dancing on food. And it says, and then it's weird because the building itself, I can't tell if it's like a hospital or an apartment complex, whatever it is. But then there's this very lovely restaurant in it

that's serving up like really good looking food. Oh, yeah. But then there's a restaurant bar and green grill and it looks like it's like you know meats and stuff uh there's a few other ones right but ignore all that for a minute all right because if you go down to the actual town proper all right there's only really two restaurants and both are little cafes and hilariously both look like they serve the same thing and one is a 4.9 and one is a 5 and i genuinely believe I don't know the order in which they opened, but I feel like one is a direct response to the other.

Like someone opened up their little coffee shop that makes cakes and sells treats. Right. And then some guy was like, if those dudes, I'm opening my own. And another one that looks roughly the same, making roughly the same treats, except it also sells pizza. Yeah, I see that. Is that the pizza station? There's confataria la Andrea Senai. Yeah.

And then there's confeterre la Peeu. And they're both right near each other. And that's the only place that's in the main part of the city. You have to go way north to a different area that I don't think counts, to be honest. Yeah, this is a... This is a... Dude, dude, they got bread with the... red onions on it. It's that thing from

Scandal. Oh, Lord. Well, Hungary is next door, so. That's, uh, I didn't expect this to be as small of a town as it is, but I don't know why I didn't expect that. They literally said a small town. I mean, it is small. It is quite small.

Um, there you go. That's the weather. Okay. Let's go to sports. Sports. Sports. We got sports. Currently, in sports. We have the lions beat the Cowboys Thursday. Steelers beat the Ravens today.

Jaguars beat the Colts. Saints beat the Buccaneers. The Dolphins beat the Jets. The Vikings shut out the commanders. The Titans beat the Browns. The Bills beat the Bengals. The Seahawks beat the Falcons. The Rams currently beating the Cardinals.

Packers currently beat the Bears. And the Broncos currently beating the Raiders. NBA standings We got the Pistons in first With the Knicks right behind them And in the west you got the Thunder in first Who have won 14 in a row And then the Lakers and the Nuggets

Right behind them In hockey We got the Tampa Bay Lightning Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens The top of the Atlantic The Atlantic, the Metropolitan. We got the capitals, the hurricane, and the islanders, and then the penguins and the flyers, the two teams behind all them. And the Western Conference. We got the avalanche, Starswild, the Ducks, Knights, and Kings, and then the Oilers and the mammoth. Right behind them.

And then, let's see. Actually, what is the Winter Olympics now? Because I know we keep saying it. February, I think. It is February 6th. So literally two months from now. Look at that. Yeah, we're close And I'm excited to put that on and leave it on his background That's me every night until I fall asleep

Exactly And at sports Okay, I'm really excited for the Olympics Not to the Olympics It's because it's the perfect I sleep better than any other time of the year That's what I'm saying It takes two years to come around

But I sleep good during the Olympics Yeah, you just put it on, and you just hear people like, ooh, oh, they're like, and there it goes down to the thing. It's going to be, you're just like, oh, man, this is perfect the fall asleep. That's what I'm saying. Yes. With that said, in 2028, the Olympics come to L.A., and I kind of want to go, but I'm worried that I'll just fall asleep during all the events. Yeah, that's strong possibility. Like, just, you know, it's that it's Pavlov, I got God.

You got got. And that's sports. Okay. What is our fact of the day? Fact of the day. Facts. Wee. Of the day.

Of the day. Here we go. This one's tied in the winter a bit. You don't actually lose most of your heat through your head, which is a myth through time. Sure. I imagine you lose it. through your extremities, right? It says here, your face, head, and chest

are more sensitive to temperature changes, but this myth isn't entirely true. In reality, covering any part of the body helps prevent heat loss in the same way. So yeah, it's really just your entire body. I thought it was like your hands, your feet, like the furthest reaches of your body where blood has to get to the farthest, you know what I mean?

Yeah. Well, I know there's like when you cool down, it's like isn't it like your wrists in your neck like your vital stuff like you put cold water on those or something it's like I figured that Yeah no Maybe that'd be with heat two or something

I don't know Yeah look at that So because everybody's always like Cover your head but you know Just really cover everything Yeah yeah There you go Wait it also says

The myth likely stems from a US Army field manual That stated 40 to 45% of heat loss occurs through the head. So thanks, U.S. Army Field Manual. Interesting. I wonder, I would love to know the background of that because I wonder if it's also like, so put your helmet on, always wear your helmet. Oh, yeah, that's true too. Without having to be like, or you can get shot in the head, you know what I mean? Yeah. Which I mean, that makes sense. But yeah, it's like one way to go about doing it. That's for sure.

Yeah. That's your fact of the day. Okay. Who has come to us with tears in their eyes? Dear, illustriousers, I come before you with frozen dears in my eyes as it is December and ask of you, what are you getting each other for Christmas? As I know you surely value your friendship enough to not let the other person go forgotten this holiday season. This is easy. I'm going to give you the gift that you always want. Yep. Not being bothered by me.

That is the best gift you can get. Let you have the freedom of not hearing from me. Yeah, we don't really get each other gifts. Well, number one, we don't really like getting material possessions anyway. Jesse would just give it away in a year. Don't, how dare you call me out. Yeah, I don't know. It's not really about the material gifts.

It's about getting together. getting together hanging out with your friends and family Oh Christmas me Oh for Christmas Really our

Our gift is that we You know We're doing a fun podcast year long It's the gift that keeps on giving Yeah to you Our gift is to you Yeah exactly We get joy by giving

ourselves to you I don't know about that We get joy by you listening to us in the bath, nude. We get joy if you and your partner start smooching while we're on in the background, is what I'm saying. All right. You got any other examples? Oh, nope, that's it. That's all I got.

All right, okay. Um, let's see. Let's see the other dearest sir here. We have, dear lustry sirs, if I may be given but a moment of your. your time. For this hypothetical, you're supernaturally strong and durable. Like a werewolf with silver, you only have one weakness, which kills you with ease. That weakness has to be about as hard as to get his silver. What is your weakness? Sky's the limit as as long as it's not rare, or as long as it is rare, but not too rare. Doesn't even need to be

a material. I've heard the answer, minor league baseball players former and current before. Now, is this a killing you weakness? Because my answer, I think, would be fine if it didn't kill me it just was like kryptonite where it kind of if I got close and was around it too long it's bad news yeah it says it kills you with ease okay all right I was going to say

the old 4 by 3 TV VCR combo it's funny because my brain was also thinking of like old technology shit yeah like it's like an old TV VCR combo if those are around I'm done

so I can't go to like landfill or pawn shops. I can't go to retrocons. Yeah. Yeah, it can't be a VCR or a TV. It has to be the combo specifically. Right, yeah, yeah. It can't be one or the other, just the combo.

That's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty good. What were those old, like, audio things before cassette tapes? Uh, oh my god. Eight track? Is that what it was? Cassette. Or

You're not talking Vinyl No, not vinyl Maybe it was 8-track Maybe that's what I was Yeah, I think that's what I was Real to real Is that what that would be?

Hold on before I had CDE No, yeah, I'm thinking of 8-track It would be I'd get killed by 8 tracks That's good Yeah That's so funny Imagine

I imagine them trying to hunt you down Like get all the 8 tracks you can find Where are we going to find them, sir? eBay, quickly go. We have to go to Portland. I don't know, man. I'm not parting with my eight tracks. We need it for the security of the country.

There's a madman on the loose. I need it for my own security, man. I can't live without my eight tracks. He's good. He's not giving him up easily. Uh, so yeah, there we go. That's our, our weaknesses. Solid weaknesses. And that's the dear illustrious sirs.

All right, what is our big news story of the day? Big the story of the day. Uh, doodoo do do do do do do. Uh, big news. New Zealand man. Accused of eating Faberge pendant inspired by James Bond film. Do you mean Faberjay? Yep.

I don't know. I was like, what kind of pendant is that? Unless it's one that looks like those eggs? Yeah. I think it looks like the eggs. All right, so it's a faberger egg. Okay, okay. A place in New Zealand are waiting for nature to take its course after a man allegedly tried to smuggle a $33,000 New Zealand dollar, 19,000 American

pendant out of a jewelry store by swallowing it. Yo, stop! His plan was to poop it out? That's ridiculous. That is pretty insane. The 32-year-old man who has not been publicly named is accused of eating an ornate Faberjee octopus pendant at Partridge Jewelers in Outland. Amazing. Evidence of the alleged theft has yet to emerge. At the time of his...

How dare they? How dare they, dude? Yeah. At the time of his arrest, he underwent a medical assessment that an officer assigned to constantly monitor the man. The officer just got to wait around being like, going to shit that egg out soon. At this stage, the pendant has not been recovered. The man was arrested inside the store minutes after the alleged theft. He appeared in the Alklin District at November 29, where he did not enter a plea on a charge of theft.

The alleged loot was a limited edition. Faberje egg pendant inspired by the 1983 James Bond filmed Octopus. Of course it was. Central to the film's plot is a jewel smuggling operation that involves a fake Faberjeet egg. The store's website says the egg is only one of 50, which have been made, is crafted from gold and painted with green enamel and encrusted with 183 diamonds and two sapphires. This man was, you know what, I would have swallowed that too. If I was, if I was going to do that, that's a lot of stuff. That is a lot.

He didn't think it through, but I get it. Like, you don't explain it to me. You're selling me on it. Yeah, this is, uh, that's got to like shred his digestive system, man. 100%. That's what he didn't think it through. That is not going to, diamonds will not be his best friend. Yeah.

The pendant is 8.4 centimeters or 3.3 inches tall and is, mounted on a stand. The egg opens to reveal a 18-carat yellow-gold octopus nestled inside adorned with white diamond suckers and black diamond eyes. An item description says, The octopus surprise pays homage, homage to the eponymous antagonist at the center of the octopussy film. Time and digestion will tell if another octopus surprise is forthcoming. Given this man is in police custody, we have duty of care to continue monitoring him given the circumstances of what occurred. He will appear in court December 8th.

I need a follow up on this. Yeah, we need to know. You know it's going to be a comical tale of that having to come out that poor guy's butt. Yeah, and like we need to know, like, did it hurt him a lot? Like, is his digestive system bad? Can he even get it out? Are they going to have to like go in there if he can't, you know?

This is important. Yeah, there's going to have to be a dude who goes into his butt to get it out. Yeah. We need to know this. Yeah, we need to know. know the details. Like, is there going to have to be a cop who's like, oh, putting on the gloves,

kneeling down, opening the guy's butt up, you know? Yeah, or they might just have to take him to the hospital. Who knows? And the doctors have to cut him open. Yeah. That seems like the worst way to do that, though. That does. Yeah, it's, it's definitely something.

Hey, and you know what? Look at that. Florida man didn't do it this time. It was New Zealand man. So we're in a new generation. Which is. that's like if you look at it kind of like if you overlay Australian

New Zealand on the US it's kind of like Florida yeah it's the Florida of the South Pacific I guess yeah send your angry New Zealand letters too at Frendor
