It's time for Ghost and Trend Dog. In the morning. In the morning. Broadcastle live, live, live, live, live. Before our reporting studio, recordings, recording. Recurdy, wake your ass up. It's up next, Brendan, the morning. Hello, everybody.

What's the same episode of Cagrendor the morning? I don't know what you're doing there. I was doing like a, you know, a new thing. If you're allowed to do new things, I'm allowed to new things. Uh, I mean, I'm not allowed to do new things. You do them all the time, though. though. Do I? All the time.

All the time. Alright, when's the last time I did a new thing? Probably the last episode. I don't think so. In fact, this counts as a new thing already and you're a part of it. That's not true because you did the new thing that created this situation. But you're here with me, man. You're a ride or die. You're a rider die homie.

If I was to rob a bank, you'd be right there in the car with me. If I was to go shoot up a rival gang, you'd help me load the guns. I know, dude. I know. I would not. Most definitely would not I know I was just hoping

Because I'm in real bad shape With his gang dude And I'm gonna need help That's tough Oh damn that's tough dude So sorry That's tough Um

How's your life Uh good I want to say Um That I did Anything productive this week But they released a new class in Darktide

and you're like a little street rat kid and it's super fast and you have like dual daggers and machine pistols and stuff it's great super fun everyone online hates it I love it for some reason that sounds correct everyone's like oh it's the weakest class and it gets killed so easily and I'm having so much fun

playing it but yeah that game's been out for like two years now and here I am back again every time they release a new class I spend exactly one week power gaming it like a psychopath and then I won't touch again until a new thing comes out. But that's what I did.

My routine, every night was, I would come home from work, I would work out, I'd make dinner, and then I would play the game for however long until I was like,

I should actually sleep. So we're talking like three, four hours a night. I was just like, yeah, yeah, die, Heretics. loved it having a good time damn if anyone's curious what the new class is it's hive scum and it's basically you're playing

as the Warhammer 40K version of junk rat except you can also be a girl but you're literally just all the skins the way you make yourself look you just look like junk rat I wish I did more of actual stuff this week but I just simply didn't you know watch the game awards

the coolest things I did this week was one watch the game awards with you you were there That's true. I don't know what I need to tell you about that. And then today I got a message from the good old Facciani. It was like, yo, you want to get breakfast? And I was like, sure. But breakfast, what really breakfast entailed was going to meet them for coffee.

And then everyone getting in a car together, driving to San Pedro and going to a place called the chowder barge. What? If you're wondering, what's a chowder barge? Great question. It's a barge on the water known for its chowder. Huh. And it is as fun and quaint and weird as you can imagine. Everything about it screams this used to be a boat,

but it's not a boat anymore because it's like, you can see the inside was a boat. Then the outside they like plastered over to make it look like a home, but it still has the engine of a boat. So when everything's powered on, they're running the end. It's absolutely crazy. Needless to say, delicious. I got a fish sandwich.

Great. Loved it. Good times. Alex, they kept bringing him beer. He was like, I don't. I'm good. They're like, here's one more. He's like, okay.

And this was breakfast? So breakfast apparently ended at 11. We got there at 11. I see. Yeah. Traffic was, you know, traffic. So we got there to 11. That's fine.

Everyone got like a different thing. Uh, part of me really want, they had on the menu clam chowder, but they also had something called the chowder burger that I really wanted, but I knew it would be gross. That does sound very. Imagine if you will, the menu, the menu says a hamburger swimming and a heaping helping of clam chowder. That. That.

Yeah. I mean. Part of me wanted that, wanted to try it, but I also realized I had things to do today. Yeah, no, that was definitely going to knock you out for the entire day. Yes, I didn't, that I would have been sick. I know I would have been sick. Plus, I also saw on the menu, they had a double chowder burger. I was like, no, dude.

Double chowder burger. That's too much chowder and burger together. Now, is that two servings of chowder on the burger, or two burgers with the same amount of chowder double burger double chowder oh god yeah it's too much it's too much and i saw they also had chili and everyone was like dude the chili's good here and i almost wanted to get chili really my initial thought process was i sat down i'm not going to order lunch i'm just going to order from the appetizer menu and get an order of appetizer clams and an order of appetizer chili and i realized i would be such a mess all day and i was like no i'm going to get a fish

sandwich, call it a life, and it was the best choice I made. It was delicious. The tartar sauce was good, and they were like, I was like, I don't want a lot on it. They're like, we'll give it to you on the side, which by the way, shout to the waitress. She was flirting heavy for her check, and honestly, we paid her well. But she was like, definitely flirting, not because she was into anyone, but for the money. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah.

Like, she was like, you're like, you're like, all right, okay. Like, we'll tip well. We got you. Yeah, but, you know, she's like, I'll put it on the side for you, hon. And then she did, and it was delicious. It was actually the best tartar sauce I've ever had. And I was like, wow, that's really good. But with that said, I'm not a big taras sauce guy, so, you know.

Yeah, I like a little bit. Dude, my throat's going crazy. Are you dying? What is happening? You're me last week. I think the chowder's just hitting, even though I didn't have any of it. Are you about to tell me that you went out and got a chowder burger? No, I did not, but it feels like I did.

I think eating a fish sandwich, was it like breaded or was it just like a fillet? Well, I knew it was going to be a spot because it wasn't just a fish sandwich. It was fish sandwich, then underneath it, they had options for fish. So I was like, yo, all right, we're good. So I got a fried cod. I could have got a grilled salmon or a grilled something or other, but I was like, no, I'll do the fried thing today. That's pretty good. It was good.

And it was literally just lettuce, onion, tomato. And then the cod, and then I had the tartar sauce on the side, and I was living life well. It was good stuff. However, I will say, for anyone listening who was like, man, I should check this place out. I'm in California. When I say it's in San Pedro, I do mean in San Pedro by the docks in what can only be described as an offshoot alleyway that leads you down to a pier with other, like other buildings that don't seem to be open. and then this place just exists. However, everyone seemed to know it was there

because people were moving in and out of the entire time we were there. But it is one of those, like when Crenor and I found that one restaurant out in the middle of nowhere that looked like a drug den, exact same vibe. Yeah. You have a St. Antonio Shack. Yes, yeah.

Except this one, again, called the like, Chowder Barge, which not the most appetizing name, but apparently it's famous. I had no clue it even existed. And so we went there and yeah, everything about it was good. But also the inside, like the bathroom, the door is not a door. It's like a weird screen that you like open and close.

Davis was like, dude, I can't go to the bathroom in there. I'm basically staring at people at the bar. What the heck? I know. That is weird. And then the floor itself, has like a because I genuinely think

the engine is on underneath it. Oh. Oh yeah, I'm looking at pictures now. I can see that. And the inside's all wood paneling but then chotchkes that look like they're from 1962.

It's not dirty. Like you would think of it as all this old decor that would look dusty or whatever. That's not the case at all. It clearly has been used and cleaned frequently.

And I was, that's one of the first things I looked for. I was like, all right, we're good. But, yeah, everything around it was like all sorts of weird, like, I'm a sailor man. They had posters and signs and statues and weird things that I couldn't figure out what the hell it was. I thought it might be a shipmast.

I don't even know what the hell. Crazy stuff in there. Very fun. And again, waitresses who will flirt with you. And frankly, that's half the battle for me. Is, uh, earlier, you made it sound like the waitress was like 70. Was she actually like 70 or like younger? No, she was probably like,

she was like, I don't know, maybe like a 5 foot 4, 40 year oldish Mexican woman. Okay, I see. But with that said, she was like, you know, I don't want it to make her sound like she's old and not attractive. She was quite attractive.

And she was playing it up. And we were all like, yeah, no, sure, sure, sure, we'll give you money. We're like, yeah, okay. Okay, pretty lady. Thank you for me. Making me feel seen. Yeah.

By the way, I am seeing numerous chowder burgers, and I don't think I would order this. I don't think my body even handle it. Even conceptually, I don't need to see it to know it's not a good idea. But apparently that's what they're known for. It's like a chowder. It's just weird. Like the burgers in the chowder, too.

It's going to be all soaked with chowder juice and stuff. Oh, agreed. Have you seen that image? not image but I guess video online of this girl and it's assume a parent taking the video of this girl and she has a hamburger in front of her and then some guy comes out

with like a thing and he does this whole show and then he covers the burger with way too much cheese and you can see this little girl get more and more disappointed as more and more cheese is piled onto it so it's like overflowing on the plate with cheese and I was like that's how I feel I don't want all that that's so gross to me yeah no you need balance

that's what it's all about balancing all the flavors and stuff like not overloading it with something yeah I know many people who love that they love the like excess I can't do it the more crap you put on my plate

the more overwhelmed I become and the more it like disgusts me I'm like a visceral I don't want to eat a mound of cheese like melted cheese or I don't want to eat like a pile of chowder with You know, it's like too much.

No, yeah, I agree. It's, I like the balance. If you overload it, it's just, then you're just eating that. You're just eating cheese. You're eating sauce. You're eating whatever it is. It's too much. You know, it seems like a quintessential American thing.

Although I will say there are many French dishes that are like that, where it's like, oh yeah, we took this one piece of meat, cut it into eight slices, and then dumped gravy on it. You're like, okay. All right. Sure. Although my dad will pour gravy Unlike anything and be like No, that's good

So Maybe It comes down to how much gravy You know? Yeah To this point I've sort of reached The perfection of gravy in my life

Where if I get like Thanksgiving For example And I have mashed potatoes I will create like a perfect divot In it And put the gravy in that divot And have a little gravy Like volcano

And I'll like Start mixing and match and stuff And if I'm like, oh, I'm running out of gravy, I'll go get more. But I'm not like one of those, I doused all of my Thanksgiving platter in gravy. Like, I just, it's, there's a moment where it crosses a line, and I'm always afraid I'll hit that. Yeah. I'm like, oh, I've ruined it. Speaking of ruining things, I have no idea what this is going, yes.

I actually don't either. I just wanted to, I was trying to think of something. It just sounded like a good, a good transition. Really, I was just going to say we went to the Blackhawks game for hockey. We didn't really ruin anything. Do they lose? Did you ruin that? No, they actually won.

Well, then, all right, what did you ruin it for the other team then? I'm trying to help you out here. We ruined it for New York fans over there. All right, that's fine. I'm all right with that. Yeah, we were, it was the Rangers Blackhawks. So a bunch of New York people there. Yeah. And it was pretty fun, you know,

we're hockey games were always fun, who's chilling, watching, but the best part was we sat right in front of some New York people. And so behind us, I guess the,

the Ranger goalie is named Igor, and so the guy just kept being like, Igor, whenever he made a save. It's like my favorite dude, Scooby! Yeah, yeah, that's pretty much that.

And then he just kept being like, come on, like doing the classics, sports thing. My favorite was they had a segment where they interviewed some Ranger guy and he had to figure out the five New York Island Burroughs

or something like that. Burroughs. So you're talking about like you're talking about like Queens and Brooklyn and the Bronx. Yeah. That's what you're talking about. Manhattan Staten Island and I think that was all five of them. So he got all five of them

right. And then the girl doing the interview, like, actually didn't know. She was like, um, yeah, I think, I think he got it. And then, like, nobody clapped because nobody there cares about New York except the New York people. Yeah, because it's, I was going to say, because you were in Chicago. So why the hell would anyone care about New York there? Yeah, so then the guy was just like, yeah, New York.

And then everyone started booing. And then the, but the guy behind us goes, shut up, he got it right? Like the most New York. Can I ask you how drunk these people were behind you Because there's nothing Sadder than a drunk sports fan at a game When their team's losing I don't even think he was drunk

I think he was just New York He was just a passionate New York guy You know what? Bless him Yeah so it was fun Honestly it was fun listening to them Yell about New York And then people were talking

And that was it I also had my thing where, I don't know if I talked about this before, but whenever I go to the bathroom and like a sports event or like a public thing, I got to go into like a stall. It's like I can't use the urinal there. It's like too stressful. So I get the shy bladder. It's weird. I'm not sure how to describe this. But like most of the time go into a bathroom, go to the ladies, you don't have to deal with this.

You don't have to just like whip a dick out in front of other people and start peeing. Yeah. But most of the time, I'm like, whatever. it's all good but every once in a while and I don't know if it's defined by are there barricades you know how some urinals have like the barricades on the side I don't know if it's the lack of those

or sometimes it's like a trough but sometimes I walk in see the bathroom layout and I'm like nah this is a stall kind of situation yeah I don't know why I will just make the call then I also think if there's a lot of people at the urinals and like they're bigger dudes

and I know I got to squeeze in with one of them something about being shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of guys holding their dicks like it's not I don't want to just like I'm fine being next to you but I don't want to be touching you

whilst you know what I mean I don't know why I'm just like I'm all right I'm going to the stall yeah it's yeah there's something about it it's just like if it's just like you know

a couple people then like okay whatever and they're usually like spread out or like I ended up just I like tried the go I was like nope and then I would like wait till the game started up again and everyone got back in their seats I'm like all right now I'm gonna go to the bathroom that was much better there's only like four people there so I was like I think it has you know that kind of online meme where it shows the people at the stall and it's like where would you stand yeah and it's always like you put distance between yourself and someone else the reality of that is so true and I just don't understand

why. Yeah. It's sometimes it's just nicer to just go into the stall anyways than it's like, yeah, your private area. Oh, you know, when I go in the stall, I do the whole shebang. I will like readjust. I'll

like fix my pants. I'll do a whole, like I'll do the like just drop it down to the ground. Like you've got to do a whole thing. Yeah. The stall is like a luxury for me sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. And there's definitely other people. I'd see they're like waiting for the stall and I knew they were peeing too they were in and out of

their quick I was like dude fellow shy bladder people it happens yeah it is Googled it here and said it can be a combination of things like social anxiety it can be genetic learned and just you know honestly I think part of it is just like especially if there's like a lot of people waiting like they use that you're just like I got to go fast come on let's go and you're just like I'm like there's like the stress of that anxiety yeah if you're like I gotta go oh god now I'm looking like an idiot because I'm not peeing what am I doing I'm sitting here a long time yeah yeah yeah so I mean it's also like you're in a vulnerable state you're just staying in there holding your dingle you know just like not even like with people looking at it but like you're

like somebody could walk up and shove you or like push you and you'd be like ah wait like that type what happened to you what happened I'm just saying you're in a vulnerable state when you're like that, all right? Which probably causes your brain to be like, oh, like the defensive mode or something. I've never once thought that, but now I'm going to think that, and this is your fault. Now I'm going to wonder is like, someone going to come behind me and like push me? Why would they do that? That's so rude.

Like, I don't even know these people. Yeah. Yeah. Great. Thanks. Thanks for adding that to my brain. But the weird part is always like once, once I start peeing, I'm good. It's just the act of starting.

Like, oh, if I start peeing and then a bunch of, of people show up, I'm good, I keep going. So it's like, it's something about specifically starting. I don't know why this became the P-Cast, but I just want to add to this by saying the other day, I had a pee that lasted like a minute 40. It went on so long. I was getting worried. I was like, am I emptying my whole body out?

What is going on right now? It like kept going. And it was like, it wasn't even one of those like I'm pushing it out kind of things. It just kept going. It was crazy, dude. I was like, this, am I okay? What did I drink today? Oh, no.

Like, I started worrying as it was happening, and I just want to say, I know plenty of guys who have gone through that. Ladies, if this has happened to you, let me know. I want to know, like, the lady version of this. That's, yeah, I wonder if there is the lady version. There's got to be. I have to imagine there is, but I don't know if it's as dramatic

because you're just, like, looking down at it. Like, what are you doing, man? Yeah. What's happening down there? Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, that was fun. This is good hockey game.

Yeah, good pee. Yeah, good pee. Let's see. What else? Did I talk about how we watched 90-day fiancé? Tell me about it, because this might be a thing I know, but maybe not. Yeah, we started watching 90-day fiancé season one because we were just like, it was like, let's just watch season one of this show.

because we just wanted to see. It was like, you know, like early 2000. I guess it was like 2014 or some shit. So, but you know, still like far and effect. What is the premise of this show? Like, it's someone has 90 days to get a fiancé or they're married for 90s? What is this? What's the premise? It's kind of the, uh, the whole premise is they usually meet someone from a different country.

And so they have 90 days to get married. or they have to go back home, that type of thing. It's like a con. That doesn't sound reasonable at all. It's like, hello, my name is Natalia. I come from a small town where my parents have had died, and everyone is trying to kill me. Hopefully, John will marry me.

If not, I have to go back home. That sounds the worst. Well, it's a TLC show, so that's why. And, yeah, so the whole promise it says here, using a unique 90-day fiancé visa overseas fiancels will travel to the U.S. to live with their partners for the first time. Each couple will have just 90 days to decide to get married or send their international mate home. Do they not know them beforehand? No, like they have long, like they talk over the internet, but that's like it.

I'm so confused. So they find couples that are already talking. They find couples, yeah, they've already been talking, and now they're about to fly over and be together for these 90 days. Gotcha. So yeah, like the one, there's like a few couples they follow. One was like Allen and Curlyam, Curlyam. And so they met like a missionary trip to Brazil because he's a Mormon. And so after a while, she like comes here from South America.

and then she's just like, I miss my family, and he's just like, we're going to get married, we're going to marry, we're going to marry. Then I can actually engage in intercourse. That's so funny, because you know that's like, this is why I'm here. This is what I want. Yeah. Come on, baby. And he gave off, like, very, like, socially awkward nerd vibes where he's like,

I've met an attractive girl and like, I can't mess this up. And, like, she, I can't let her go. Like that type of vibe. Yikes, yeah. Yeah, and then there was Russ and the, like, pale. Wait, so what happened with them? Well, let me go through all of them, all right. Oh, okay.

So, wait, do they do multiple people in one episode? Yeah, they alternate between all these different people. So, then there's Russ and, like, Paola, Pao, something like that. So she's from, like, Oklahoma and she's from Columbia. They're probably the most, like, I want to say, like, normal relationship ones, as in like she speaks pretty good English, you know, obviously she's like Colombian, so she's just like, what are you talking about that type of thing? But like, the whole point is like, he's like, here she is.

And his family's very like Oklahoma Christian. They're just like, I thought you'd marry a Oklahoma woman, not someone from South America. Like that type of thing. And then she's just like, your family are idiots. And that's like the whole thing. And he's just like, I don't know. So he has them. Then there was Louis and Iya, where she's, he's from Indiana.

He's just like some, he looks like a guy that plays Warhammer in World Warcraft in Indiana. I imagine there's a lot of that. I feel like I want to look up these people and see what they look like, but I also don't want to ruin the illusion. And in my mind, they're all kind of a mess. Yeah. Um, I mean, I got a, I got an article that even shows where they are today. So I can, I can send you that after I explained it all. Oh, yes.

No, please do. Yeah. So then he meets Aya and she's from the Philippines. They meet through like online dating. And he's like, you got to come live with me in Indiana. So I mean, she's also just like, she speaks English. Like it's pretty standard. It's more just like she's moving across the world to Indiana, which is just like, uh.

And he's got two kids, by the way. and his ex-wife is there being like, are you sure you want to do this? This guy's kind of, I don't know. And she's like, yeah, I think I do. Why would they let the ex-wife get? Okay. That's what I was saying when we're doing that.

We were just like, why is the ex-wife so involved? But then she was just like, I just want to make sure you're not using him. And then my kids are going to be like, whatever, you know what I mean? It was like that type of thing. So, and then there was probably the weirdest one, which was Mike and the Ziza. So Mike is a guy, and he's like 31, and she's like 21, and she's like 21 from Russia. Okay, okay.

I was waiting for, I was like, uh-huh, what is, what is, what is the twist here going to be, but all right. Yeah. So it says, Mike was 31 when he met Aziz online 2013. It was 10 years younger than him. They started his friends, but their relationship turned romantic. after her work visa to America was denied. So that was, so Mike's family is just like, this girl's trying to use them.

But then this girl's just like, I don't want to, this is scary, I don't want to be here. Like the whole time, I was like, dude, this Mike guy is pretty weird. Like, I don't know, there's just something about him. This felt really weird. And it turns out, I was right. Okay, all right. I had to look up.

Because when you were like, oh, it's Mike and his, I had to look them up. Right. Yeah, no, it is, is, like, she looks like a child. Yes. Yikes, dude. Okay. And so when we were watching it, I'm like, dude, this guy looks like he'd show up on to catch a predator. Like, I was like, I was like, he just looks like that weird.

And obviously he's dating this, like, girl 10 years younger than, well, guess what? But in 2023, it was found that he had stuff on his computer. So I was right. My impression. Oh, like, kids stuff? Yep. So he pleaded guilty and received a $20,000 bond and was released. They found him guilty of possessing and distributing videos.

So he was sentenced to 10 years. And distributing? All right, first off, let me just say, now that I know. this, every one of his photos makes more sense. That's what I'm saying. I was just, I was like, there's something about him. Like, I don't want to judge anyone, but he has the look. He really does.

He has the look of like, I collect videos. Like he is, all right. I think it was just his look, but it was like that combined with the fact that he's dating a girl that looks like she's like 15. So it's just... There are photos of them that appear to be, or at least she appears to be old. but that initial one that's like from the show yeah dude she looks like a child that's what I'm saying she legit looks like she's like

crazy in that oh I don't like that at all no so that was definitely the weirdest one and then here you go here's the other ones from the thing I would say you can see the top one that's Alan I'm gonna see all these people now yeah there you go you can see them all

so you got Allen and Curliam, so that's the Mormon one. Oh, they're Coxes. All right, you know what, they're not that bad. They're coxas. Wait, so they stayed together? Yeah, they're still together. In fact, I think pretty much all these couples actually stayed together.

Except for the guy who definitely diddled kids. Yeah, but, I mean, they stayed together until he went to prison. So, you know. That's, I mean, I will say the Allen and Curiam Cox I don't know how to say her name. Yeah. They are the most Mormon-looking couple I've ever seen, but I'm happy for them. So, all right, cool.

Russ and Paolo Mayfield. So wait, so Paola is... So is the whole show just doughy white dudes who went overseas to get a girl? Season one, yes. Because that's what it seems like. No, yeah, season one is. So far, Alan, he got... got, he won.

His wife is beautiful. Russ, his wife, got more beautiful as time went on. She's, uh, yeah, she was, uh, she was pretty cool. I liked her. She, yeah, she like got more attractive the older she got. Uh, Lewis and, oh, God, it really is just like, if they put me on their shit. Like, I, this is like, I would be a warhammer. That's Warhammer World Warcraft player.

I look like every guy on here. It's jarring. I do not like it. Yeah, Lewis, you and I are roughly cut from the same cloth, my man. But I guess they have an Etsy shop together. That's cute. Yeah. Like he was, he wasn't really weird. He was just like some guy, you know. The guy got divorced and like was just trying to, you know, find somebody. Like that was his vibe. But he had kids and he's just like, I don't know. So then, yeah, now we're down to Mike.

And, uh, yeah, he was, apparently, he actually got sentenced. Yeah, no, he's 10 years. He's, he's in prison. Yep, he's gone. Thank God. Get him out of here. So, that was, that was season one. That was a wild season.

Then we tried, we were going to, like, watch season two. It just didn't hit the same. We were like, no, it was just kind of like, I don't know, it's just, you know how when like you get to a new season of a show and you just like don't resonate with any of the the show or like the characters or I guess you know the carry like the real people not only do I feel that way it's how I felt about are you the one oh yeah I loved season season I think it's season six whatever one I love that one the New Orleans one so much that I went and watched all the other seasons and season whatever the season that comes after

was fine except one guy was clearly playing it like I'm going to sleep with All these girls and he ruined the game for everyone. But all the other seasons kind of sucked. And I was like, I think I just watched the first one I watched. It might be like a Final Fantasy game. The first one who plays your favorite. Yeah. And then after that, you're like, it's not the same.

It's just not the same. Yeah. No, it's, uh, plus it's like a fun little watch. Like, whoa, 90 day fiance. They got 90 days. Let's see how it turns out. And it feels like, then they're like, all right, here we go again. I'm kind of like, eh, I got my fix.

Yeah, no, I get that. Yeah. Yeah. What made you watch this? Uh, we were just, like, looking through HBO, and it was just on HBO. So we're like, we were like, you want to watch shitty reality TV? And we're like, yeah, watch it. That was pretty much it.

I mean, yeah, okay. Sometimes you're just to the mood for shitty reality television. That I get. That I understand. I frequently am in my tolerance for it solo that I will watch one or two episodes and be like, I hate this. Why don't I make this choice? Yeah, it's

I mean, what even What's on TLC now? Like, what are their shows? They've got, they still have 90-day fiancé Season 8. What do the show start? 2017?

I think it was 2014. Oh, okay. Yeah. And then they have sister wives. They have 90-day fiancé the other way, where people go to live in other countries. But is it still mostly like a beautiful woman from overseas

than like some goofy looking dude? Let me see. I can't watch that. That's like it hits too close to home. I can't watch that show. Let's see. The other way back. Hold on.

Let me, uh. The other way. Season seven couples. Yeah, and then just scroll right in the Okay, so what I'm learning now is this other way version The thing I've learned is that, yes, it is Even if it's a woman, it's a goofy looking woman.

Yeah. Like, I feel like everybody in this show is just kind of goofy. Everyone has a goofy look to them. And then it's like goofy look and then gorgeous person. Yeah. Every time And honestly, I'm here for it I like that

I hope everyone finds Their gorgeous person Yeah If you can't be gorgeous Find one for yourself Find a gorgeous person You like See how they got

They got those shows And let's see What else do they got Seven Little Johnstons And they have Dangerously obese What a lineup it really is kind

it's strange because TLC used to be about like learning shit just like the history channel used to be about history yeah and now it's all the same kind of trash like the learning channel is like will this couple that barely knows each other

find love and then the history channel is like will this guy digging in the hills somewhere find gold and you're like I don't know man when you would do history I mean, TLCs also had some great They had like My Strange Addiction They had that show with like the 19 kids

Or whatever it was Oh agreed I'm saying that that's not what originally it was for Right Yeah And it morphed into like well people like to watch this So we're just gonna do this one thing Yeah

No that happened Same way that AMC was like Let's make 85 Walking Dead shows Yeah or how Discovery is just like The Gold Rush the old island of treasure the you know

make it in a frame at this point I missed when the history channel was all Nazis and aliens now it's like reality shows about like ghost hunting and shit I'm like

what do you mean that's a dude yeah I miss when Discovery was like Survivor Man and Manverse Wild oh that's when I love the Discovery Channel

or did I say history discovery? Yeah there used to be like things that were interesting But I think the problem is is that interesting factoid-based television is not what people want to watch. They want to watch what potentially could be disasters

and what usually are. Yeah. Even here. Yeah, right now history shows are Mountain Men, the Curse of Oak Island, which I think they've been on that island for like 20 years at this point. Mysteries on Earth with Danny Trejo,

ancient aliens, swap people, the unexplained history's greatest mysteries alone and the unbelievable with Dan Aykroyd. Sure, man.

Sure. Yep. So there we go. That's the history channel. And it's probably one of those things where you watch those shows and they're just like, here's a little history tidbit. That's like all you get.

Oh, here you go. Yeah, well. Like probably on the Curse Oak Island, they're like, now this was used by Sir Reginald the 4th when he came to Oak Island, and he killed everybody because he went crazy. Like, oh, okay. His ghost haunts these parts to this very day. And the treasure is said to be guarded by him as well as numerous other ghosts. Yeah, it's, it's dumb.

It's the television landscape we have. Today we were having a conversation while driving to the child. our house about Warner Brothers being bought by either Paramount or Netflix and Alex was trying to do like some sort of like yeah but Warner Brothers the properties it has it is all the DC things I was like none of that matters you were talking about a world in which the people investing in these shows they do it for money not because they care about the product like that's not and he's like yeah but you know I hope it ends up with a company that like actually cares I was like they won't no one cares everyone who runs those companies are corporate dude bros who are trying to make

money next quarter not create a movie three years from now like it's just not he really was like no dude i was like i felt bad because like i feel like i'm crushing this man's dream about like yeah the dc movies i'm like i don't think anyone cares the people that run this don't care dude yeah no they really don't care um but you know what you know what you should care about.

It's cold out there. It's snow and it's raining. Well, you know, there's some places it's looking all right, but a lot of places it is not doing well, especially here. We've got holidays coming up, people trying to get all over the place.

So watch out. It's not good. Good out there. Not even up here. You know, I'm whacking microphones. Stay away. Thank you. Thanks, Grendor. Now let's go over to Crenor on the Weather to Ask that Weather. Ooh, by the way, are you aware that we got hit up this week with a graph, like a chart of all the weather? Our faithful weather guy sent us a complete website layout of all the locations. And I don't know if it is designed to be this way, but when you log into the page,

it starts putting down where we were. And I don't know if that's an order of episode or not. But with that said, I do like it. A great deal. Interesting. I did not see that. You can link it to me. I would love to link it to you.

Yeah, yeah. Bergen, Norway, aka the city of South, seven mountains, aka Gateway to the Fjords, aka the rainiest city in all of Europe, where it will rain an average of seven out of every 10 days. That's a lot of rain. That is a lot of rain. Well, let's see how accurate it is. Curly, 48 degrees Fahrenheit.

Feels like 40. Humidity, 95% pressure, 29.4 inches, 2 mile visibility, 22 mile an hour winds. 9.39 a.m. sunrise, 3.27 p.m. sunset. 0.47. Evie index zero in a waning crescent moon phase. 10 day. We got tonight. It's

raining. 45. Monday, 48 with a.m. rain. Tuesday. 43 with rain. Wednesday. 42 with rain. Dude. He's not lying. Thursday. 45. Rain. Friday, 46 rain. Saturday, 44. Light rain. Sunday, 41. Showers. Monday. 39. Parly cloudy. Tuesday.

39. Parly cloudy. Wednesday. 38. Parley cloudy. and then Thursday, rain slash snow, and it starts up again. It looks so cute. As a town, looking at the photos of it, I was trying to be like, what's this town's vibe? Seems very touristy. And I think I understand why,

because it's right on the west coast of Norway, which explains the rain, because there's nothing really to stop the rain from getting to you. Yeah, wow, this is... Like, the way it looks to, it kind of has this vibe of like the town is also on the water Yeah interesting

Yeah see them looking around They got a lot of bars and coffee shops and pubs I believe that There's a lot of them that look like Kind of fun, silly, touristy places too Which I'm okay with I like that It's like a bakery It's a sushi place

I don't dude I don't know what this is. Do you see Versuset Canol? I don't even know. 4.7 stars and it says it's a restaurant

and I clicked on it and I was like, oh cool, a restaurant. Except it has the aesthetic all the photos make it look like an IKEA. Hey, what? Like it is clearly a restaurant.

There is food being served. But the inside makes it look like it is not a restaurant look at this that's just Google that it's like one of the most

like there's a bed oh yeah there's a coffee table with coffee table books yeah this really is it's like a yeah it's like a bed and breakfast I don't know if it's a bed and breakfast

it is some of the most gorgeous looking food I've ever seen for a bed and breakfast yeah it really does that's some crazy good looking food. But it's also like, wait a minute, what is this restaurant? Like, I don't understand it.

None of it makes sense to me. Most of the photos are like of beautiful chairs. I don't get it. I have no idea what this is, but I like it a great deal. I just don't have any context for it. I also don't know where the center of town is. Oh, yeah. The center of town is water, as far as I can tell.

Well, I'm checking reviews here Oh, this says Incredible converted home So it's a home converted to a restaurant Uh, yeah, it's a pretty cool place Yeah, it's very lovely And that's the weather Okay, let's go to sports

Sports time Sports Uh, currently, we've got football scores as well as football injuries uh-oh Patrick Mahomes ACL-Torn that's bad Micah Parsons ACL-Torn probably that's bad uh and scores

Over in basketball.

We got the Pistons, still atop the east with the Knicks right behind them. In the west, we got the Thunder at 24 and 2. They finally lost a game. Well, I guess now they've lost two games, but they'd won a lot in a row with the nuggets and the rockets and the Rockets and the Spurs all right behind them and the Lakers. But still five, six games back. Then,

over in hockey, we got the Lightning and the Red Wings atop the Atlantic Division. You got the Hurricanes, the Islanders, and the Capitals all up there, the Metropolitan Division. Avalanche atop the Central Division

and the Golden Knights atop the Pacific Division And That's sports What is our fact of the day? Fact of the day It's a day, day, day, day It's a day, it's a fact

It's a fact, it's a day, it's a fact, it's a fact of the day facts That sounds like the start of a song and a musical Yeah, it's a day, it's a fact, it's a day, it's a fact, it's a day, it's a fact, it's a day, it's a fact. Like a whole thing starts. Um, and then they just tell you facts of the day. Yeah. Uh, let's see. This says, laughing came before language.

Oh, sure, just like farting did. I believe that. Yeah. It says, how do we know? Some researchers tickled baby apes, which beyond being adorable, showed that they share the same structures as ours and likely arose in our common ancestors millions of years ago. I mean, animals laugh. yeah some animals it's just it's just the reaction that your body has which i think is very cute

i think it's i think it's cute that it's not something we decided as a species to do it's just like a natural laughter is a natural reaction that's very sweet yeah which means being funny must be or finding things funny must be ingrained in all species i mean i don't see cats laugh though they're laughing at you for sure Sure. Like, they don't, oh yeah. When they, like, walk up, knock over a glass of water and look at you, they're laughing. They may not express it, but deep down inside, they have got the giggles.

Wouldn't the expression be the life there? No. No, they don't want you to know they hate you. Cats hate you. Like, I'm not sure if you're aware of this. Cats are like, feed me, care for me, I hate you. That's only if you don't feed them or care for them. I don't know

I don't know You don't even only cat That's right Because I'm not stupid cats They'll kill you Cats are waiting They're waiting for the time to take you out Damn, just like Garfield

That's what I'm saying Garfield was a caution It wasn't comedy, it was a cautionary tale Yeah, that's what I've always heard And that's your fact of the day Okay Who has come to us with tears in their eyes? Here we go

Tears in eyes D-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Dear illustrious sirs with tears in my eyes And my hands on a calendar I ask thee Are there any songs, movies, or shows That you enjoy for specific holidays each year? For example, I always listen to

Rockin' Baby Jesus episode of the show On Christmas Eve Hell yes And the episode where you guys make fun Of Chills around Halloween Wait is it Chilly's Chills No chills

You know Number 10 Oh that Yeah Scary ghosts Yeah chills What's up to The last time I went to his website

He was doing rap videos And I was like he's way He jumped the shark man He was like I'm famous now He's like I rap and I rhyme And I do it all the time You're like no

No, dude That is Please stop Yeah Let's see What we watch I mean There's like standard

Christmas movie stuff Right Like I don't know There's a lot of people But We do On New Year's We watch

Oh when Harry met Sally Because it's like a New Year's movie Because it like ends on new year's So we do Sure I was like Why but all right I guess that checks out Yeah sure

So it's just like a A chill New Year's movie we watch. Let's see. We watch Nightmare Before Christmas, usually, like, after Thanksgiving before Christmas. That's cute. Yeah. Around Thanksgiving. It's kind of like an all-holiday movie type of feel.

Or, like, man, I... Halloween Thanksgiving-ish. Yeah, I don't do that right now. In the past, I would do things like watch Die Hard, or there be certain movies like Shrek or whatever. But I haven't done that in years. Right. I'm just like a gamer. Most of my things are game-related.

So, you know, I'll watch a movie and I'll enjoy a movie, but then, like, there's nothing that says, oh, I need to watch this now or do this now. I will say that if there is, like, a comfort moment, dude, Lord of the Rings trilogy kills it every time. That's true. Like, that's a year-round. It works any time a year.

Yeah, we were actually going to watch that in, like, January, I think. It's like a good, nothing else going on type of watch Lord of the Rings. Yeah, it's a solid way to kill three hours. Yeah, no, it's, or four hours. You should be watching the extended edition, of course. Yes, the last one, I always remember that it's three and a half hours long. It's crazy. Yeah.

So yeah, let's see, then. Dear illustrious, sirs, I come to you with tears in my eyes and ice surrounding me. If you can have a tiny version of any exotic animal to be your pet, what would it be? example being an elephant if it was six inches tall. An exotic. So we're going off of six inches as like the general rule then, right? Yeah, something about that size. Like some kind of, it can be anything.

So we're talking like Warcraft Pet, basically. Kind of, yeah. Yeah, but it's like a little guy who could be on your shoulder. Man, I'm going to need a bird. Like a hawk or an eagle. I'll even take a vulture. like a bird because I want them to be able to fly too so they're a little tiny cutie pies

but then they also fly that's pretty cool I like that I like the idea but see this is the problem this is why I can't have pets my worry would be too high because they're tiny and whether you can fly or slither

or whatever the hell this thing's doing that's perfect eating size for something bigger yeah that's true like if I take this dude out if I become like if I get like a monkey Monday's guy and I have a little six inch monkey. He's dead. That guy's getting eaten by something.

Yeah. I'm worried about this. You'd have to keep him in your house. Yeah, and I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that. He deserves to see the world. His little monkey buddy. Like if I got a baboon and his butt was out and he was six inches, that would be hilarious. And I would take him

everywhere. But then he'd get like eaten by a bird. Yeah, that's the problem. Like a badger would find him and eat him. Yeah. Dude, I think I would get a way. just a tiny whale and then you could have like an aquarium they could just like cruise around in the aquarium yeah i do like that uh although i feel like we've been thinking about this wrong what if we reversed it i want a six inch tardigrade section a what one of those little tiny

microscopic things but six inches see you're going the other you're taking the tiny thing making Yeah, that I think I would enjoy more than shrinking something down. Taking something very, very small and making it big. That would be fascinating. That would be an interesting take on it. Right? Like, oh, I'm going to make a,

I don't know, some microscopic something massive. What would that be like? Oh, no. Oh, you could make like a, even like a one of those roly-poly bugs. You can make one of those giant. That'd be kind of weird. Yeah, dude. Make a giant ladybug or make like, you know, some type, like an aunt.

Then it'd be super strong, dude, because it's, you know, because it's the X number times his weight. And if he's six inches, he's going to weigh more. So that guy's going to be lifting cars and shit. I love it. That would be a thing.

You'd have to watch out. He'd break out of your, wherever you put them. We'd be friends. Ah, okay. Yeah, he wouldn't do that. He wouldn't do that to me. Okay.

That's good. And that's the Deer Illustrious Seres. All right What is our big new story of the day? Big news story of the day Yip Seal Gallops

Into New Zealand bar And hides in the Stranges Place All right To be clear you don't mean No recording sensation seal No You mean a seal Yes

Every time we have this conversation I have to ask Because a seal does something And I'm like All right from the ocean or just the musician? And every time I'm let down that it's from the ocean and I really

want one of these days to be seal. Yeah. Musical recording artist Kiss him a Rose seal. We just found him in the bar. He wouldn't leave. He came out of the water in a wetsuit and we just didn't know what to do. A seal walked into a bar

or to use a technical term, it gulumped. The creature was apparently lost, curious, and well below New Zealand's legal drinking age. lodged itself Stop. Yep. Lodged itself between the dishwasher

and showed no interest in calling a cab. It was a wet, lazy Sunday evening when the baby fur seal waddled into the sprig and fern, the Meadows craft beer bar in Richmond at the top of New Zealand's South Island. Accustomed to seeing animals in the pet-friendly bar, co-owner Bella Evans

assumed the visitor was a dog before she took a closer look. Everyone was in shock, Evans said. my gosh, what do we do? What's going on? A patron grabbed a sweater and tried to usher the seal out of the back door, evading its pursuers. The creature dashed into a restroom and then hit under the dishwasher, which was swiftly unplugged. Another customer fetched a dog crate from home, and Evans made a plan to lure the unruly visitor out of its hiding place using a pizza topping the pub was offering as a special. I just wanted to my fiancé. I said, grab the salmon,

and grab the salmon. Then it was a brief wait for conservation rangers to arrive. It turned out they were already tracking the wandering seal. It was their fourth call all the day. They'd been driving around for this new-billed subdivision trying to find this baby seal. New Zealand's conservation agency confirmed to receive numerous reports from the public about a seal spotted in Richmond on Sunday

before the fugitive turned up at the pub. Barstaff did a great job keeping the seal safe, said the Rangers, said the Department of Conservation Spokesperson, Helen Otley. The seal was released on nearby Rabbit Island, considered a safe location because of its dog-free status. It's not unusual for curious young seals to show up in unexpected places at this time of the year,

as they follow rivers and streams up to nine miles inland. They can turn up in unusual places, like here. Successful conservation programs in New Zealand have resulted in growing seal and sea line. populations bringing them in closer contact with humans than ever before. Scientists referred to annual silly season for both species, a period of months during which they regularly appear in strange places, houses, golf courses, busy roads. Evans, who has owned the pub with her partner for a few months, said the baby fur seal is the first unruly patron she's ever had to evict. But she said the animal named Fern by the staff is welcome back.

There's been a running joke that we've got the seal of approval, she said. Salmon will remain on the menu. This is Crenthor reporting. Cox and Crenthor. Back to you. I think it's unfair. Seals get away with a lot because baby seals are so cute. And these little guys wander in the places that everyone's like,

oh, look, it's going to be so cute. Every time, I don't even need to look at a photo of this. Whatever the photo of this guy is, he's a little cutie pie. I just know it. I know he's got the eyes. he's got the little like nose like oh i'm just a little cutie hiding out back here making your whole restaurant not sanitary like he is getting away with stuff and i it always happens seals lucked out they got the luck of the draw seals are like being beautiful

like just they got the natural trait they rolled a 20 on charisma constantly yeah no this was like the grumpus blob or something they'd be like yeah get this shit Get out of here. Yes. If this is a, like, it's just, they got to, especially if it's like an age thing. Yeah. If it's a young seal, it's, yeah. Yeah.

Unfortunately, older seals, sad to say, you know, it takes it, takes a nose dive real quick. But baby seals, the young ones that like sneak in and do all this kind of crap. Yeah. They get away with it, man. They get away with it. Yep. Uh. And there we go. And it had a nice ending where it didn't get killed or put down, like a bunch of these.

Again, because it's cute. If it was a snake, dead. Yep, absolutely. I'm telling you, those are the rules and it's unfair. Give the uggo animals a chance. Give uggos a chance. Uh, and that's the big news story of the day. That's it for us. Thanks so much for listening and watching. I'm enjoying this show.
