Wake your ass up. It's up. Hello, everybody like the episode of Gaggs and Grendor in the morning. Hey, you know what? Oh boy, this is exciting. In what way? I don't know. You just told me that this is exciting.

Yeah, well, I said it was an exciting episode, but it's up to us to make it exciting. I'm just pre-hyping the excitement. That's true. So you're kind of lying. You're like doing the fake it before you make it. It's only a lie if you fail to excite. That's not good. I'm coming in strong.

I'm an exciting personality. It's all really up to you. All right. Well, start us off with excitement. Don't put it on me. Oh, man. Okay, all right. I can get exciting.

Okay. So today, I got out of my computer here at the office. Yeah. Now, there are other people at the office. No one's here on the weekend, though. So you would assume that no one had an accident. access to my computer. Yep. I sat down today and I noticed in the corner of my monitor a link to Google Chrome, but more specifically, a link that just says join in. What? Exactly, exactly.

So I was like, well, I don't know what this is. I didn't put there. At least I don't think I did. If I did, I somehow did it magically. I don't know why or how I would have done it. So I right clicked on it because I was like, this could be a virus thing. This could be like, I don't know what this is. So I right clicked on it. And this is what happens when you go to the properties. This is where it links you. Twitch.tv slash directory slash category slash roblocks. What?

That's what I'm saying, dude. What did I? So, either someone hacked my computer to let me know I should go watch the Twitch directory of Roblox. Or at some point, I, I

like, went to the Twitch Roblox page and said, I need to save that for later, and then moved it to my desktop as a quick link. You must have accidentally did something. When? When would I have done that? It wasn't here yesterday, and now it's here.

When would I have done that? Literally, when I left the office last night, there was nothing here. I come back the day, and it's like, hey, check out Roblox. That sounds like someone hacked my computer. but also why would that be the reason? I mean, okay, do you turn your computer off? Yes, all the time. So you turned it off and it didn't have it there, but when you turned it on, it was like...

Yes, that's what I'm telling you. Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you. Correct. Did you anger any Roblox people? Why would I have done that? I have no anger towards Roblox people. If anything, I was commenting this past Friday on Geekenders that I think they're really creative over there with the games they create. It reminds me of the old Blizzard days on BattleNet.

Are you sure you didn't do this and you just didn't notice it? If I did, I don't know where I was mentally because it would require I go to Twitch.tv slash Roblox or whatever, like the category Roblox and be like, man, I'm going to save this category. and at some point come back to it later. Which there's so many levels of thought involved with that and I thought none of that ever. Also, why would it say join in? Is this like, am I being, is my call to action? Is this someone telling me that I really should join in

and become a Roblox streamer? It literally says join in. All right, all right. Let me just show you an example. Okay. Twitch.tv. I'll go to Crendor. All right.

I will save it. This is insane. I don't know why I'm doing it. I will save you. All right. You're saved. Now I'm going to move you to my desktop. It says Crendor slash Twitch.

It does not say join in, dude. This is, I think Roblox as an organization is calling me to action. If I get a virus, you have to, you have to remember me for who I was. I Listen I think Roblox put that there But why would Roblox put that there? That sounds like some sort of promo thing

Where you'd accidentally click on something And it would like add it And they're just like joining the fun Like that type of thing It yeah it literally takes you to Twitch.tv directory category Roblox I'm clicking it It does! I'm on Roblox right now

I think someone hacked my computer to let me know that I should play Roblox. That's the only thing that makes sense right now. I think Roblox hack your computer. That's fine, but I don't have Roblox on this computer unless the company wanted me to, in which case, that's my call to action. This is the start of my hero's journey. I'm about to become very successful at Roblox.

It's, I guarantee this had the bit. Maybe it was like an ad. You know, there's like those weird ads. Sometimes you click. But again, why would it save, I just don't know. I just don't understand. That's the only thing I can think of is just like you accidentally clicked. But even then, you said it wasn't there yesterday.

So maybe. The link it says was created on the, it says, okay, this makes no sense. We finished our stream yesterday around 11, like 05, maybe. 1110. I turned my computer off right then and went home. This says it was created at 1124 p.m. How is that possible? I was not on this computer at 1124 p.m. Dude, are the AI trying to reach out to me? No, there's no way that would be it. It's got to be like some sort of powerful dark magic. Well, that, you know what? At least that makes sense. Yeah. Maybe like the green cheetah logged in. And she loves Roblox.

Everyone says that about her. Yeah. Well known fact. Yeah, that's, like, okay. But like even then, if you, if it turned back on when you came in today, it would be on, right? So that's like, even that doesn't kind of. Again, yes. Yes.

I don't know. Maybe I'd somehow. did it? Like, I wouldn't understand how. I wasn't even here at the time. I was already driving home. Yeah, it's it doesn't make sense. There has to be... None of it makes sense. Something about this is fishy.

Yeah. Well, here's the thing. The link is what it is. It isn't a virus. It takes it directly to the Roblox Twitch page, which is crazy. That is weird. But why? What does it mean? This is like one of those signs from God and you just can't interpret it.

And you're like, well, it means nothing. And God's like, no, you were the chosen one. Like, nah, it's whatever. Yeah, but that doesn't mean much. This is like Mary and the grilled cheese. Like, it's on that level. Yeah, yeah. I was trying to communicate with you through the good.

No, I ate it. No, I was like, this is, that could be anything, munch, punch. Well, now, now you know the excitement happening in my life. That's true. Then you had some other story you were going to tell about, uh. Oh, yeah. Uh, so you know how. Now, when you watch the news or whatever and someone does something crazy and then they cut to a neighbor and they're like, I never would have guessed.

What a kind young man. He always kept to himself was a lovely neighbor. In L.A., it's not really like that. I imagine there are other cities, but I'm in L.A. And I've been here for 14 years now. So I know L.A. And when I look at the rest of the world, having come from the Midwest, people will always be like that. Like, oh, I had no idea.

In L.A., if you talk to someone after, like, someone goes nuts, they're always like, yeah, no, I knew, but the cops never listened. And that's the vibe here is that our more eccentric individuals are very proud of their eccentricities. Well, I think in other parts of this country, they kind of like, I keep my weird stuff at home and in private. Here, they're weird and they're proud of it. And there's this one guy who he hangs out on a street corner right near our office. And he is what I would consider to be just like an average dude. He doesn't have the look of a guy who hasn't showered in a while or potentially could be homeless. He doesn't have the look of a guy who is on drugs and is like crazy and freaking out on the street.

He doesn't even have the look of a guy who just appears to be a weirdo. He's just an average guy. But what he's doing is supremely weird. But not in like crazy ways, but in ways that are like, my man, you need to use a period or a comma or like separate it into paragraphs because the signs are like four or five poster boards stapled or taped together so we can have this giant run on sentence of something he needs to describe to everyone and let people know. And he'll yell out cars about it and point to the signs like, look, you're not putting, you're not paying attention. look. And I, he had a sign the other day and I wrote down exactly what the sign said. And I want you to try and figure out from this side alone, what is his political belief? What is his societal beliefs? And more important, what is he trying to say?

A sound mix still matters. Cheat on drug tests. S-A-I-D correction compounded further lies. Truths invade the mind. Challenge perception. Iran is a lie. Trump spelled backwards is proof. Well, what was the first part again? My favorite part. A sound mix still matters. A sound mix still matters. I think it's supposed to be like he's pissed off at movie quality

and how sound in movies is bad. He writes like how my dad sends text messages. There is not a period or a comma or any. Literally it is. sound mix still matters cheat on drug test SAID correction compounded lies further truths invade the mind challenge perception Iran is a lie

Trump spelled backwards is proof now when you said S a ID isn't that just said or did he like put something all capitals it's it says it goes cheat on drug tests SAID it's all capitals correction compounded lies further truths invade the mind challenge perception. Iran is a lie. Trump spelled backwards as proof. Again, I don't know. I don't know what this man's trying to tell us all. But he's clearly trying to say something. But I don't know what.

And I feel like him yelling at us to listen is only making people not want to listen. And if he just was like, excuse me, can I have a moan of your time? I might stop and be like, yes. What are you trying to say, man? Um, now, hmm. Trump spelled backwards is P-Mert. You're right It's not proof Correct, you're right But Maybe he knows something we don't

Maybe P-Mert Exactly Peemert is proof You know P-Mert is proof Dude Yeah P-Mert is proof So when you think about it that way

P-Mert is proof That is like something you'd read On your grandmother's Facebook Don't you see P-Mert is truth. Like, what? Grandma? What? I will say there is a book called Pemert the Pig. I think it's like a Trump mocking book, which is pretty funny. But that's not what this is, though. Yeah, I don't know what this is. Well, also, Iran is a lie.

So, like, he still considers Iran Persia, right? Maybe that's what it is. He's like, he's still part of the Persian Empire. You think that's what he believes he's like, bring back the Persian Empire? Yes. It's got to be it. So if... His whole thing is he's just big Persia. Yeah, he might just be big Persia. And then, you know, sound mixing. I got nothing.

Like, it feels like it's eight thoughts combined together. Yeah. But together it makes no sense. And I wonder if this is because he had one cardboard sign to use. And he's like, you got to fit everything in there. It's it honestly does sound like it's so many thoughts and he tried to write them all down at once, but it's, uh,

it's just, it's too much. And like he can process it in his mind, but we can't process it. Maybe he's on another point. Oh, that's why he yells when he yells at people as huge, because he's on the corner of a pretty major intersection. And he,

uh, well, if you're next to him while you're waiting to turn or whatever, he will yell at you to listen to him. And he definitely truly believes like he, knows what's going on and you don't and you aren't listening to him and you're like sheep and stuff and he's like

begging you to listen he could be a man from the future for all I know and he's trying to warn us that's true he might be a man from the future yeah in the future one of the big concerns is sound mixing in movies is still terrible also to cheat on drug test

I guess I don't like literally this is one line of it a sound mix still matters cheat on drug test He is So this might not be like a real drug test This might be like a metaphorical drug test You know what I'm saying

It could mean anything And I just want to say To the rest of the world You gotta step it up You're not nearly as crazy as LA crazy We take the cake It's true It's like I was saying

L.A. is like You have the people that had the highest of high in hope Like they had hope going to L.A. They're like, I'm going to make it. I'm going to be big. I'm going to be a writer, an actor, a producer, whatever it might be, right? And then it all crashed at some point.

And so you have people that just had such high highs, and now they're hitting the low lows, and they fueled by various drugs, alcoholism, and, you know, many things. And so there's like some of that in other place. But like L.A. has so much of it, because so many people went there just with dreams. and now those dreams have been shattered, right? And so it's just, it's, I don't know. LA's just weird.

It is a weird place, that's true. But I feel like most big cities people go to with dreams. You know what I mean? Yeah, but LA is different. You don't go to the big city thinking like, I can't wait to go live in the big city as an accountant. Like, that's not a thing people dream. Yeah, well, that's what I mean.

Like, they dream of LA. That's why LA's so big because you have like Hollywood and actors and like at this point, there's YouTubers and streamers and shit in L.A. Right? It's like everyone goes there trying to make it. But like nobody does that with Chicago. Nobody does it. Like maybe New York, but even New York it's like more about like I want there to be like a stock trader or some shit.

Yeah, yeah. New York's like banking. It's kind of like London. Yeah. Where everyone's in their suits and they're all, you know, millionaires because they made money on a stock or some nonsense. Yeah, but LA is more like, oh man, it's warm there, right? Like you can fulfill your dreams of like being a comedian or an actor, all this stuff.

And then when it fails, you got to work at Starbucks. And then you're like, oh, boy, then you get people yelling at you. And then the other Starbucks people working there probably are also just like, hey, man, I got a script. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Are you about to tell me that there's a clear pipeline between going to L.A. to become an actor, failing and acting, working in Starbucks and then becoming a guy in the street corner? There is a pipeline, I would say. Okay, all right, I want to just be clear.

That's what you're telling me. It's like, I work at Starbucks and customers yell at me and my fellow employees hate me. You know what? I'm going to say, oh my God, you might be right because the corner that that guy stands on, there's a Starbucks on that corner. Dude, I'm telling you.

Probably used to work there. Oh, my God. I remember when I went to Starbucks when I was visiting years ago and it was like everybody that worked out I remember one guy was trying to sell his script to somebody like he was an actual Starbucks employee

just trying to get his script to somebody it's like dude I don't think it's gonna happen and then you can tell I think someone else was just like oh yeah I used to like work in acting and whatever like everybody that works like normally at Starbucks

it's just like you know people that are like anywhere else in the world is just people just trying to have a job or being like maybe they had like some sort of art dream or something like I can work in coffee right like that's kind of fun uh but then in L.A it's like everybody is an art person there like I want to be art person like they want a profit that's the big thing and so when you have those hopes of like making it in a thing that you really enjoy and you're passionate about and they fail I don't know that it's fail dude I don't know that it's failed because I always think back I don't remember as

name and we probably shouldn't say his name, but that dude who won King of the Web got $25,000, moved to Los Angeles, roommateed with a bunch of people, and then spent all 25K, stopped streaming, stopped working, only got drunk and did drugs, spent all of his money in a year, and then vanished. And people were like, what happened to that guy? And he just crashed on people's couches and then vanished. And for all I know, that guy is one of the dudes on the street. Because he, and he made it. He made it and it changed him so much that he like could not work anymore.

Well, that's, that's the other, uh, pipeline. All right. The other pipeline is you make it, but you can't handle it. All right? And then you just crash out. All right. There's numerous pipelines we're following here. All right.

So many pipelines. It's like the internet. Series of tubes. LA is a series of failures. LA is a series of tubes is an accurate way to describe this time. Yeah, and so, listen, there's also just people on the street

that just have like the mental illness and stuff like that. Yes, oh, 100%. I think there's definitely people out there that have crashed out from trying to make it or like having made it and then, you know, I mean, there's plenty of people they make it And then they're just like, this is it.

Or like they're like, they get too far in their head with like power and like greed and stuff. And then they start doing drugs and stuff. And then before you know it, you blew all your money, but you still need your drugs. I mean, as a non-drug addict,

I don't quite know, but I'm going to assume yes. As someone who also is a non-drug addict that goes out to eat brunch like an 80-year-old. I think I know a lot. We are making a lot of assumptions. Let's be clear here. Yeah.

Our lifestyle does not permit us to be actively engaged in narcotics. So I don't, yeah, I don't know. But I assume that that's probably correct. Yeah. I mean, I would say, in fact, half of what we do is just assuming. That's really true. Can I also make an assumption based on your lifestyle really quick? So I saved this photo and it made me laugh because I feel like it's related to you.

but on like kind of a sweet level and I would love to know your take on this so this person on Reddit posted this thing that was kind of like it was on the Reddit R slash how not to give an F and the title was silence feels like freedom this person wrote

the reason I like staying up late so much is because between the hours of 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., the world is quiet and no one expects anything for me I could literally stare at a wall for four hours with no consequences. I love the silence and the calm. I love it. And I was like, is that how Crendor feels about nighttime? Uh, me a little bit.

I wouldn't say that's fully it, but it is definitely more calm and chill. You know, you can go out as like way less people on the road when you're driving. Uh, it's, I miss when there's things open later too. A lot of 24 hour places stop being open as late. COVID. Right, right. But yeah, it's definitely more peaceful than when you go out at like 2 p.m. and there's

like all the old people driving and then you wait a couple hours, all the people rush hour driving and they're just like going insane. There's the other day I was driving. It was like 5 p.m. Some dude. It's like you got a turn left. Okay. At a busy intersection. Dude like

pulls up the turn left. The light turns red and it's like, all right, just go. And then they just didn't go. And then they block traffic and then the cars like started going around him so dude was like just stuck and I was like dude you gotta like you gotta make up your mind

wait what do you mean he stopped in the middle of the intersection and just didn't go? Yeah like so because normally when you're gonna turn left at an intersection right because normally you pull up to the middle at a green light when you don't they got the arrow and then you're like all right

you wait and then once the cars stop even if the lights red you just go you go. It's like yes That's it. But they didn't go. They just sat there. And I was like, dude, you got to go. And then all the other cars are just like, whatever. So they just start going around this guy. So like, I'm not going to be blocked in. So then he was just sitting there. I don't know what happened to him. I guess he went eventually. But then because he did that, it was like the domino butterfly effect or some shit. All the cars were backed up because they couldn't go. So it backed up like all the way. And then I had the turn again. But that was blocked because people were blocking that because they were so far backed up from this. guy. That's just like all from some guy that should just went. But they got like deer and headlights syndrome or something. So that that was a that was a 5 p.m. traffic thing. I was like, dude, I wish it was like 2 a.m. right now. Nobody was on the road. Like I don't even understand that must be a freeze up just like me right there. That must have been a freeze up.

Because there's no rational way that you would as anyone, uh, like go out in the middle and just sit there. Like unless he thought, oh, I can't make it. But dude, you're already out in the middle, so you have to go. You like have to. Exactly. That's like one of those things where they're like, I can't go, I can't go past the red light. I'd be breaking the law. But then by sitting in the middle of traffic, you're also breaking the law. So it's like just through the do the one that you're supposed to do, which isn't even like breaking the law because that's like a common thing you do. Yeah. Everyone who is like if you're turning left, everyone who is waiting for you to turn left is just going to wait for you to turn left. Yeah. So just do it.

Exactly. Smart people aren't going to ram into you, dude, or just go. So just go. Yeah. Just do it. I've seen the opposite. The light goes red. There's like 10 cars that go through.

I'm like, all right. Not everybody gets to go through, all right? Yeah, I mean, like, that's too much. But if you're by, if you're one car, you're already out in the lane, you go. Like, everyone acknowledges you get to go. You waited patiently for all the traffic. And yeah, sure, it just turned red. But you're already out in the lane.

So just finish what you're doing. And the funny part is this happened. And then not only like a couple days later, the same thing happened. I was just like, are you getting me? At the same intersection? No, a different intersection. Dude. I was like, this is crazy.

It feels like a hesitation that a younger driver would have. Or a very old driver, one of the two. That's what I was thinking. It'd be like a younger and experienced driver or just like an older driver that's like, where am I type of thing? But even then, most older drivers don't do the where am I. They do the like, I'm coming through. Don't get hit.

Yeah, usually. You know, by the way, so we went to the mall. And we were just walking. Mall's like a bit quiet. Like it was still, you know, they had people going around. But it's like January or well, February. Well, this happened to January. It's like end of January.

We were walking. And then normally the mall, you know, the people stand outside. and like yell at you to try their product or whatever and then they try to like, hey man, do you need your shoes cleaned or whatever? We got shoe cleaner. Yeah, exactly. So there's a couple of those, one of which

we were walking and someone was like, hey man, great hair. And I was just like, I just kept walking and then the other person there goes yo, are you Jesus? And I looked around and I was like He was trying to get your attention, dude. Yeah, but I kept walking

and turned around. It was just like Hell yeah But then there was We kept walking There's another one They're selling like makeup Scrubs or some shit And this woman was like

She was like Vulturing for people She would just be like Every single person like Excuse me Excuse me excuse me And then like she started yelling at people Across the aisle

She would scream out and be like Man Man Like yelling across the thing At the point where you're like Is she like yelling for like someone that like lost their item but no she was just yelling to get people into the store

I don't think I've ever seen that I was like damn this is like peak like late January mall vultures that shit was well I mean it might be the reason like you were saying earlier because of it being January February people aren't shopping as much

of the mall right now that they have to really you know like when we're on YouTube stuff January and February are the worst months for ads and things like that because so like they're probably trying to, you know, make a buck. I kind of get it, but also it is the most annoying thing in the world, and I do not like any of those.

Yeah, I also, I hate the stores. Like, like, uh, like mall stands, they, every time I walk by, they're like, sir, sir, excuse me. I'm like, no. I'm not, I'm not here for you. Yeah, no. And they just, they just move out to the next person. They don't care.

It's, uh, I also hate when you walk into a store and they got the people ready to like, be like, blah, blah, blah. Like, let me help you. I don't mind if you walk in and they're just like, hey, welcome in. Or like, hey, you know, buy one, get one half off today. And you're like, okay, thanks. Like that type of thing. Or like, hey, let me know if you need help.

That's fine. It's when you walk in and they're like, hey, what are you looking for? Yeah, let me help you. My name is. And that's just like, dude, I just want to look around. That goes back to the guy that was on too old for this. That dude who's working jobs. And he's like, you know, no one seems to want my help.

Because no one wants anyone's help when they go shopping. Unless you know what you want and you're trying to find it and you need someone to direct you to it, most people don't want to be bothered. Exactly, yeah. It's, oh my God, speaking of too old, I was going to bring that up. Oh, boy, yes. We talked about the vertical dramas. Okay, yeah, yeah. That's the thing we did.

It is. And so I was saying in my reaction, I don't know if you watched my reaction. I have watched every single reaction. I literally work out. My workout routine right now currently consists of when there is a fallout or night of the seven seven kingdoms to watch, I will watch that while I work out. And if there isn't, I will watch you react to too old for this. And if that's not available, I'll find some like random YouTube video to watch that I will end up regretting the entire time. So when I was watching that one,

I was thinking how we would make a fantastic vertical drama. What would we do if we made a vertical drama? So I wanted to bring it up here to see if we could craft a fantastic vertical drama. Okay, so this one I think is obvious. One, you and I are not the stars. We're the writers. Exactly, yes. The stars are like 19-year-olds.

Yeah, as is every vertical drama. Or like 30-year-olds that still look like they're 19. They're 19, right. Well, actually it's all 19-year-olds except for one guy who's in his 30s but demands to play a 19-year-old. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, great.

We sit down at the writer's room and all the writers, we just write down things on little note cards like, um, doctor, assassin, uh, in love, smells like, murdered, right?

And then we put it all in a little bag and then we just start pulling it. them and that's the episode. That would actually be pretty great. That would be great. You just randomly generate just words. Just like pick from them.

And then we're like, okay. So today's, you know, short drama is about a doctor who murders an assassin. But the assassin that he murdered is the woman that he loves.

And so And then they go to like a witch doctor, a necromancer, and he brings her back to life. Right. But here's the thing. It wasn't her. It was her twin. Oh, yes. And now his brother, who's a doctor at a rival hospital, is in love with the sister.

Like street gang rival. Not like rival money-wise, but like they fight on the street. Oh, yeah. That's even better. Yeah, so they find He's in love with his sister So then you form the triangle Right, you gotta have the love triangle

In course Yeah, and then there has to be There's to be some like old Person like an old Mentor or like an old Corporate CEO Or like just some old person That gets involved as well that's like

I won't stand for this But it has to be like the mom of one of the other characters Yeah, it has to be the mom And then they're just like, I didn't raise you to be like this. And then they're going to be like, I, and then they have a heart attack. A lot happened in this 60 seconds. Yeah.

That's pretty good. See? And we crafted that in like three minutes. Yeah. It's really not that hard. Based on what we watched, it's not that hard. Although, I will say, that first episode is such a banger. It is

They introduce all the characters They introduce that the the boyfriends Sleeping with the sister And then the woman is like And now I'll kill you both And then cut I'm like damn that is all right Got me

That's how you do it It's it really is just like Brain Rout soap operas Yes Like it's got all the soap opera stuff But they've cut out Literally any substance And just kept

all the like cliffhangers or like redirections yeah it's crazy that every episode is 60 seconds long and ends in a cliffhanger that is peak designed for people who can't focus yeah like that's crazy how fast that is yeah or just all the younger brain rot people yeah like it's it genuinely is just like soap operas for brain rot like it's like I like I I get how people can get it because they just, they're going to be like, oh, I got to find out what happened. Did they get shot? Then they go watch that. Then they're just like, ooh, did this thing?

You just like, you have to break the chain. I guess it's easier said than done. Like, it's easy for me because I'm like, I don't give a shit. There's an interesting thing right now where, and I, this is, I literally just heard this on the way into the office today to record this. That a bunch of stuff has come out recently about students in college in, in movie, like, cinema classes. or cinema critique classes or classes about becoming, you know, cinematographers or camera people are working in movies or directors. Kids can't finish, or I can't say kids, college students can't finish movies. Their attention spans so out of whack that when they sit down to watch a movie and you know how those classes, you're not watching modern movies.

You're watching movie throughout history. You're watching like old black and white movies. You're watching movies that stylistically look different than what we're used to. you're trying to like expand your horizons. That's what those classes are. Kids can't do it. They absolutely can't do it. And so this one professor was like, fine.

I will allow you to take it home, watch it at home and stream it at home so you can do it on your own time instead of in class. And so they did. And when he came back, you found that half, more than half of all the students, never even finished the movies.

Oh, yeah. I could have told you that. And I just think that's really funny because like, how are you? Like, I don't. care if people don't have attention span for movies, whatever. Sure, man. Like, that's, it's up to movies now to cater to that kind of attention span. Sure, fine. That's life. But if you're going in to cinematography or directing or the movies as a career and you aren't

actually interested in movies like that, then why are you? What is the point? It seems like a giant waste. If you can't sit through one movie, how on earth? are you going to direct a movie? Yeah. No, it's like a lot of people where they try to write a book without reading books. It's like, how are you going to write a book

if you haven't read a book? It's really hard to do that, though. Yeah, well, it's like anything. Everything's hard. Nothing's easy. Everything's hard. I was stretching. Yeah, I don't know.

It's like when people are like, oh, doing YouTube and Twitch and all this stuff. It's like, you still have to, like, get to the point where people actually want to watch you or care about you or will continue to watch you and then, like, maintain that for a long point. Like, you know, otherwise people could, everybody could do it. Like, and some of it's just luck. Some of it's just whatever. But it's like anything. Like, everything has, like, an amount of luck to it.

But there's still, like, you got to have, like, some sort of foundation. Yeah, I mean, and that's the whole point of those classes. The whole point of all college classes is to give you a foundation to then go tackle what you're really into. Yeah. And if you're trying to do direction or you're trying to do cinematography or whatever in movies or even editing, you have to start with the basics of like, do you understand how it's supposed to look? Before you sit down a computer to edit a thing, you probably should watch a bunch of movies or TV or whatever and see how editing is done and like find edits you love and like, oh, you know. yeah, I love the way that looks and how that looks and like, oh, why did they make that choice? And like that kind of thing.

And if you can't do that, then why are you trying to be in that industry? And again, I think it's just because like, honestly, I wonder if it's, oh, I need this talent so I can go work for a YouTuber. Maybe. It's possible. There's definitely some that'd be in there doing that. Yeah. I mean, it's, we're kind of in the society now where people want, instant gratification

or like they want to... No, we've been that way for a while. It's just even more pronounced now, but even back in the 90s, the whole idea of making those chips that made you lose weight but actually just made you shit yourself was because people didn't want to work out.

They wanted instant weight loss. Like, that's a thing that happens all the time. Yeah, well, that's just, it's people in general. It's definitely ramped up in terms of you and maybe just awareness. Sure. At this point because everyone's on their phones

we're like much more aware of it. And it's also we live in a world where everything we see on our phones is fake as shit. Even, oh, dude, dude, dude, dude. Speaking of fake, side tangent. I went on Instagram to go post about our, you know, our buildables guys. Right. And while I was there, I saw genuinely what might be the most beautiful woman that ever existed, like ever, in the history of reality.

I was like, oh, my God. So I clicked her thing And she had a bunch of videos No photos, just a bunch of videos But it was all roughly doing the same Pose And I was like, well that's no different We've seen that plenty of times on social media

Where they just like milk a thing Because that gets traction Right But it was all the videos were the same Except it was same pose Different outfits, different locations And I was like Interesting

And then I noticed at the top It said Digital Influencer And I was like, what does that mean? What is digital? I was like, hold on. So I went to Google, I typed in digital influencers. Like, these are people that influence you online.

I was like, I don't believe that for a minute. That's content creators. That's influencer influencers. That's not called, that's not digital influencers. That's, you added a whole other thing to, what do you mean? I discovered that the digital influencer category is now what they call AI generated people on Instagram. Oh.

She was beautiful and perfect because she wasn't real. There was not a single, like she was perfect, which is why it weirded me out. And I was like, hold on. And the more I dug into it, the more I was like, no, she was fake. She's just something some guy created. Yeah, that's, I've even, I've seen people doing like AI filters and stuff like that too. It's just like some dude with a filter over them that makes them look like that. Yeah.

And that's, I mean, like, I think that goes to the way people see themselves when they think about online too. Is they're like, oh, I got to look this way or do this thing. But you're comparing yourself to the fake presentation people have of themselves. Like, if you're comparing yourself to Instagram, everyone on there is faking it until they make it. I mean, we've always had that too. Like, you know, gagged like people being like, oh, I can't be like people in the magazines or the movie star. Like people did that in the 80s, like forever. I'm sure they did that in like the medieval ages.

But now we're in an insane point where you can just become an AI person, which is... Sorry, you mean digital influencer. You can become a digital influencer, which is genuinely insane. But like, I still think that it's all going to pop at some point. Like, it has to. There's no way you can keep going. I mean, you would think, you would think, but I have a feeling it's only going to get more wild. Well, it'll get more wild, but then it'll pop.

Like, there's no way. You saying it has to, it feels like one of those guys is like, my luck will change. It has to. Well, also, luck is based on a lot of perception as well. You are right. It's like the, because I remember learning about that in psychology, where there was the, I don't even know, it's a real thing, but it's kind of just like a perception

where somebody goes to the store to buy a, dress or two people go to the store to buy a dress. And the one girl is looking for the dress and she's like, they didn't have the dress I wanted. This is just my luck. I'm going home. And then the other girl has the same situation and goes, oh man, they didn't have the dress I wanted. Maybe they'll have another dress that I can like check out or wear. And then she looks and she goes, oh my God, I found an even better dress. My luck is great. Right. And so you have like two people at a same situation, but it's the way they went about it. And so, you know, like that person that had bad luck just gave up

too early and they could have yeah you know so I mean that's not everything like obviously there are people it's like damn dude that's some shitty luck but like it can play into it to an extent but also

speaking of the other thing I was going to say the dopamine hits the satisfaction right there's that study in the 7060s whatever whereas some woman would give kids marshmallows you remember here about that? She said, I can give you a marshmallow right now, or if you wait 15 minutes, I'll

give you two marshmallows. And so obviously, like, 90% of the kids were just like, give me the marshmallow. And then the 10% that were like, I'll wait, got the two marshmallows. The other kids were like, what? Like, why'd they get two? And they're like, well, they waited. And it turns out that the kids who waited the 15 minutes ended up just like having better long-term life outcomes just in general. So, I mean, that's like an obvious thing. Like, oh man, like, if you have, like, patience and willpower and, like, all this stuff, you're going to do better, like, obviously.

But it's, it more so shows, like, the, the human brain just wants it's, like, instant gratification. Like, me want marshmallow now. Me get marshmallow. And then, like, that kid got too marshmallow. Me want to. Like, it's that your brain's just like, ooh, uh-uh. I mean, honestly, I, very much.

that is the story of my life like I constantly want gratification right now but I also have a brain that understands if I wait things will turn out better sometimes so it is a constant back and forth between my mind of being like well I could play my video game right now or I could take the 30 minutes, an hour, whatever

to work out but I could also play my game right now Yeah. And there's a battle in my, there is no like, everyone's like, it gets easier, dude. The more, like,

it becomes a habit. Nothing's ever a habit for me. I have no habits. I lack the ability to form habits. Every day I have to force myself to do stuff. Otherwise, I will not. I'd say a large chunk of people are like that.

Hence why the 90% of the kids took the one marshmallow right away. Yeah, I'm that 90% for sure. Yeah. And the thing is, is I would know if I waited. But I'd also see everyone else taking a marshmallow. I'd be like, man, I want a marshmallow now too.

No, I'm definitely like that too. So I'm just, I'm terrible at waiting. I'm just like, I want the thing. Whenever there's like the option of just like, you could get it shipped right away for an extra dollar. I'm just like, I could. You get it shipped fast. And then you get it here.

Then it gets their fast. Then I don't even do anything. It's like, why'd I do that? That's, yeah, I don't know. I'm bad. I just say most people are bad at that. But, uh, y'ah. Anyway,

Yehaw. The moral of the story is, uh, sound mixing. Like, they're, they're not doing it properly anymore. But you know what they are doing properly? Mixing sound correctly over at Raycon, who is sponsoring today's episode. With the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics this month,

there's no better time to get inspired, push harder, and upgrade your workout routine. When you're training consistently, the right gear makes all the difference. I have been using Raycon's essential open ear buds for a long time now. It's literally what I use when I work out or go for a walk or whatever, and I'm listening to, you know, Crendor, talk about being too old for things or any of the podcasts that I for some reason am not on which it feels like I'm on every single one but I love it because I can focus on the world around me and hear what's going on and still hear my music or podcasts or Krendor or whoever

with crystal clear clarity and that's really what I'm here for regular earbuds they block out everything you can't hear someone calling your name or car honking or anything that's the whole point They purposely block out noise. I don't like that. I hate that. I want to be able to hear what's going on around me. These Raycons sit just outside your ear canal so you can really clearly hear what's happening around you too while also listening to what you want to listen to. They're light.

They hook around the ear and they can rotate a little bit so you can kind of like get them fit the way you want. Like I said, I've worn them to the gym. I've worn them on walks. I'm wearing around the house just doing house stuff cleaning. I love them. And so do 3 million others who have got a pair of themselves. And they say the sound quality is just as good as the way more expensive brands. They're half the price because they're not paying for celebrity endorsements and all that different stuff.

If you're driving late nights, pretty all right. If you're driving during the day, not great. If you're taking planes or trains or stuff, I actually don't know. It's probably pretty similar to the normal traffic. And yes. All right. Yes. And yes.

Well, let's talk weather. Oh my God. I forgot to mention something. Okay. It's completely random and I don't think you would ever guess this. All right. I can't guess it right now.

So, one thing I noticed when I was at the grocery store is there's certain smells that I just love. You are the smell guy. You do love certain smells. I know this. Some of the smells are smells that nobody would expect. All right. Now I'm a little concerned, yes. So what do you think one of my favorite smells was in the grocery store? You, one of your favorite smells? The fish section. No.

Um The The The weird floor scent they put down when they buff the floors Uh, that's a good guess, but no. I have no clue. All right, it is when you walk past the

open freezer section And it goes through its like thawing process and then the boxes that were frozen Kind of start to warm up and they just have like a freezer smell to them. What? the hell is the matter with you? What do you mean? You like the smell of the damp boxes?

They're not damp. They're just like they've thawed a bit and then they got to refreeze because the freezer machine has to like go through. It's like it's cycle to get rid of the frost or whatever, right? Defrosting. Uh-huh. And so when that happens, I guess they would be a little damp or something, but like they get.

Yes. Yes, you are talking about slowly unfreezing, unfreezing, unfreezing, unfreezing damp products. Yes, but specifically the boxes, the cardboard boxes. All right, I mean, that is very specific. Yes. And you're right, connected to nothing. Yes, because, and I don't know what, like, a lot of times the boxes will have, like,

stuff in it'll be like a box of, like, chicken that's like probably freezer packed it or, like, vacuum seal or something in the box. But the actual box smell, I'll walk past there and just be like, oh, man, that's a good smell. You can smell it through the freezer. Oh, you mean you mean the open freezer section. The open freezers. They're like meat in them. Okay.

All right. Interesting. Next time you're at one. Interesting. Next time you're walking through the open freezer section. Just take a smell in there. I won't. No, you know, I won't. Excellent. Anyway,

the weather. Weather request for hometown Constanta. Romania. It is one of the coldest cities in Romania. The first attested documentation was from 657 BC when the Greek colony known as Thomas was founded.

It was renamed to Constantin Indiana in 71 BC when it was conquered by the Romans. The iconic building... Oh, so like Constantinople. Gotcha. Okay. The iconic building of the city is the casino, which is close to the spot where the original colony was founded.

casino. It's like a Romanian casino. When you Google it, it's the one big picture. This like giant white building on the water. That's got to be it. Also looks abandoned.

It looks, all the photos of it from the inside make it seem like not a soul has lived there forever. But it is gorgeous, admittedly gorgeous. That's true. And currently,

it is 35 degrees. Feels like 33 degrees. Winds at 4 miles an hour. Air quality 55. Pressure 29.8 5 inches. Visibly 5 miles. Sunrise 7.15 a.m. Sunset 5.25 p.m.

humidity 100%. That's a lot of humidity. UV index, zero. And a waning gibbous moon phase. Denday. We got cloudy 34 on Monday, Tuesday, 38 cloudy, Wednesday 46 a.m. clouds. Thursday, 48,

parley cloudy. Friday, 46 showers. Saturday, 48, mostly cloudy. Sunday, 45 showers. Monday, 36 a.m. showers. Tuesday, 37, rain showers. Wednesday, 37 clouds. Thursday, 41. Parly cloudy. That's actually pretty similar to Chicago weather. The casino is three years ago looked completely run down. But as of four months ago, apparently between then and now, they've repainted the outside. It looks like beautiful. Oh. Fascinate.

So they've done like a, yeah, they had a 2025 restoration. Oh, that's cool. I wonder what the inside looks like because that was the part that I was really more interested in. But neat. They fixed it up. Pretty nice. Oh, yeah, that is pretty cool. I see it now.

And then right next door to that is a restaurant called The View. Oh, so you can view the gazino. Literally, there are tables looking right at it. Yeah. Yeah, it makes sense. And all the food looks pretty good, except I'm a little worried because 99% of the photos are about the view and not the food. Yeah, that sounds about right.

Yeah. All right. The view is a little suss. Hmm. There is a place called Restaurant, the boat, and it's all seafood. and it actually looks very good. Like insanely good. Yeah.

Yeah, there's a lot of really, I mean, I guess because we're on the water. There's a lot of, yeah, there's the boat restaurant. Yeah, look at that. It looks good. Yeah, that looks good. That looks like a winner. Yeah, it's looking fantastic. Plus the amount of weird sauces that they have with stuff.

Oh, dude, they have one dish that is maybe an entire loaf of bread, but then little tiny trays of various things to put on your bread. Oh my God, yeah. That's the winner. That is the most like, I would drink and eat that all night long. Yeah, that looks fantastic. Oh, they got like, oh yeah, there's one video about it's nine seconds of an entire table of food. And everything on that table looks banger.

Although this is all based on the fact you would have to love seafood. Yeah, if you don't like seafood, this is going to be terrible. Although I'm looking at some guys, it looks like steak and potatoes. So, like, clearly they have stuff for other people, but it appears, like, there's one dish I'm looking at. What is this? It looks, it's a round serving tray, and it's four different cuts of meat. And underneath all that meat is a bunch of french fries. But then the meat, each meat is served with a different dipping sauce.

What is this place? Yeah, this is crazy. This place looks awesome. The boat. Yeah, it's got a 4.8. restaurant the boat. 4.8 out of 5 too with over a thousand reviews. You know

it's good. And then right next, after you get done with the boat, you go over to Finikori Zaccini, which is a coffee place. Right out in the water. Get yourself a coffee. Look at these what appears to be yachts. Okay, I need to leave

the coast. We've spent way too much time here. Let's go inland. Oh, Taco King, 4.8. Hold on. Oh, my God. Doesn't even look like it's tacos. Wait, what? Hold on. Where is it? These aren't tacos. I don't know. What the shit, they're French tacos. What? What do you mean? It looks,

isn't that just a crepe? What is this? This is crazy, dude. These, they look like hot pockets. Like grilled up hot pockets. Yo, what the hell? Yeah. What is that? It's kind of like a burrito, kind of? Except they panini press them. Yeah, kind of looks like it'd be on the taco bell menu. Yeah, absolutely.

That's what it would be. But they're literally, it says spicy tacos. That's not a taco, dude. That maybe you could say like a grilled burrito. Yeah, that's more burrito-y. That's crazy. French tacos. I didn't even know French tacos were a thing.

I didn't either. But like the stuff they're putting in it is, all right, some of them are insane. I'm looking at one that appears to be a Thanksgiving dinner in a taco, which is, That's crazy. That's like some scrandle shit. I mean, it still looks good. But yeah, that's not a taco. Oh, I eat the hell out of it, but definitely not a taco. 4.8 though.

That's some top to your stuff. It genuinely looks like Taco Bell, but like real. Like they even got the grilled cheese burritos. I found pizza Uncle Sam. They got like American flags. Dude, the pizza, it looks like it's made the exact same way Pizza Hut Pizza's made. You know how they have those weird little pans they put everything in? Oh, yeah, I see that.

It really does. It's a, yeah, I don't know if anything. It was like one of the more solid pizza places we've seen. Yeah, I mean, it just looks, it looks like a pizza. Yeah. All the pizzas look like pizzas. Some of them have questionable toppings, but most of them are just like, here's a pepperoni pizza. Yeah.

Here's a pizza thing. It seems, it seems reasonable. They also, this is how you know it's a pizza thing. They got weird pizza stuff where it's like pizza bread and then the middle is dipping sauce. Oh yeah. That's pizza hut as shit. That is. It's very pizza hot.

Hey, yo, Romania's got some slapping places. And that's the weather. All right. Let's go to sports. I'm so excited. That's right. Sports. We've had the Olympics start.

Finally. but not only that, we have the Super Bowl. We have the big Super Bowl today. It's been, we got Seahawks Patriots. I know a lot of people are just going to be watching because they're going to a party or, you know, watching for the halftime show or the commercials, but it should be an interesting Super Bowl

because it's like Sam, Darnold Seahawks and then you got the Drake May Patriots. all right, Drake May, for anyone doesn't know, he's like at his second year starting, Sam Darnold, he's been on like six different teams and he finally found the good one. Well, he was with the Vikings last year, and then they gave up on him like losers.

But that's fine with me because they're a divisional opponent. So it's kind of a, it's a fun type of Super Bowl. It's not your typical, like, Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady type of thing. So it'll be interesting. The Seahawks defense, I think, does win him. The Super Bowl, the Seahawks defense, very good. Patriots have had a lot of luck. easy schedule. They've kind of had a lot of goofs and gaffs

to the point where I think the Seahawks could win by like more than 10 points. But we'll see. And then Olympics. I was watching some Olympics stuff. That's been fun. I watched some curling. Curling already started. Yeah, baby. That was great. Yeah, I was watching all the

skiing, downhill skiing. I was like, damn, they go like 90 miles an hour. And then I saw the... I watched that one girl like flip over. That was rough. Yeah, the American girl. Yeah, she like clipped one of the like gates or whatever they're called

and just tumbled. I was like damn, okay. Yeah, it was funny because she had like all the, she was like had a bunch of injuries and she's like I'm coming back from stuff and I was like, dude, hell yeah, that's like a Crenthor person. And then out the gate. Yeah, it wasn't like, oh, she got hurt. It was like, she took

a fall. Yeah, it was pretty bad. I guess she like broke her leg in a few places. So that sucks. Especially when she came off of like hurting her leg before. Yeah. So it's, and she's like 41. So this is definitely it for her.

Yeah. So, but yeah, there's been, you know, plenty of other fun winter sports stuff happening. It's great. I just,

I love the winter Olympics. It's just, they got the best stuff. I think hockey was going. I don't know what else is starting now. Oh yeah, I think speed skating. There's some other stuff.

they go in like chunks, don't they? Yeah, they do little chunks of things. And then like the bigger competitive sports take the entire length. But like the smaller ones that are like, oh, you're literally competing against the clock. Those they pound out real quick.

Yeah, okay, I see. And it looks like, currently Norway has the most gold medals at three. That makes sense. And Italy is the most medals at eight. So they got eight. Norway has six. Austria, Japan, and Germany have three. Sweden, France. Chetia have two. And then there's a bunch of countries at one. We got Bulgaria, Canada, China, Slovenia, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States. So America kind of getting roasted right now.

Yeah. Speaking of, speaking of the roasting, America on Saturday took on Great Britain and Curling, lost. And even though we lost to Great Britain, we did beat Canada, which I feel good about. That is good. And we did beat Switzerland. However, we lost to Norway, which I believe is, you know, that seems right. Yeah. No, it's, you always expect like Norway, Sweden and all them to be up there.

Yes. Tomorrow, since most of this stuff they already did today is done, tomorrow in the great sport of curling, for those of you want to watch. Switzerland versus Canada United States versus Italy Korea versus Norway Come on now This is the tough stuff Yeah this is going to be good

But this basically goes through The entire like we're still going Curling's still going Yeah No I love it It doesn't end until The 22nd Which is the 21st is

Men's and Women's Women's Bronze Medal Game Men's Gold Medal game and the 22nd is women's gold medal game. Oh, my God. It goes the entire Olympics. It is, if you had never watched curling, you will be like, what am I watching?

And then you'll fall in love. It's so fun. Like, once you figure it out, it's great. And we got an entire, like, two weeks now at curling. Mm-hmm. Hell yeah. Meanwhile, in the NBA, we got the Pistons in first and the Thunder in first,

and the east and the west. And in hockey, we got... The Tampa Bay IAs. The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Carolina hurricane atop the east. And the Colorado Avalanche atop the West. And that sports. Okay. What is our fact of the day?

Fact of the day. Day. Day. Day. You inhale 50 potential harmful bacteria every time you breathe. I assume that it, like 50 sounds like a lot. Maybe that's an average. Maybe some people are sucking in a lot and some people, but like, yeah, okay, I get that because everything, when you breathe, yeah, everything kind of gets in there.

Yeah, it's like, I believe it, it just sounds like a lot. Yeah, it was like dust mold. like a whole bunch of shit. So honestly, I mean, there's probably times you're breathing in way more than 50. There's probably times you're breathing a lot, but then probably times you're like, if you're outside, you're probably breathing in less, right?

Or are they just like, no, the world is pollutant and you are polluted? I don't know. I feel like outside, you're probably breathing in more. But inside, all the dust and like particles of things and like, man, I don't know. I have no clue. Someone is freaking out right now.

You said that and someone's losing their mind right now. Let's see. Every time you breathe, we inhale about 20 times a minute, nearly 30,000, 30,000 times a day. And they said it can take fewer than 10 actual viruses to infect you. but it appears, let's see, we're inhaling.

I'm trying to find like how many in a day that is. Wait, is it like, look, one virus? No, they need to work together, like some sort of Ocean's 11 of viruses to crack your immune system and get in there and take you out. It might be, actually. Because that's what it sounded like you were saying. I think it is. Let's see, the weather also has an impact.

Some are more common in the winter. in the summer. Warmer temperatures, droplets evaporate quicker, increasing concentration of chemicals in the droplets, spilled Coca-Cola getting stickier if left. This increases concentration, alters the acidity of the droplet.

So there's a whole bunch of shit. The sun can protect us, UV rays killing viruses. Like, dude, there's like a whole bunch of shit going on out there that we can't even see. Yeah, which is why probably you shouldn't think

about sci-fi movies all that much? because when people go to a foreign planet and they don't have a helmet on, like that's just, you're asking to be killed. Oh yeah. Without a doubt, that's like some insane shit.

Like you're probably breathing in like super bacteria's. Yeah. And you would think like, okay, the reason why we can survive here on Earth because we've been breathing in this stuff since we were a kid. And we've spent all this time getting sick

and getting, you know, immune to things and our body is learning and changing. And yeah, you go to a different. world, you're done if you take that helmet off. Even if there isn't an alien trying to kill you. You breathe, even if it's the perfect mix for us, all the random crap floating in there

would kill you instantly. Yeah. No, it's crazy how insane your immune system is. Yeah. Look, we don't, I said this before. And yeah, sure it was because I was high at the time, but we don't think, we don't think our body's enough. I, every once all, be like, hey, thanks, body.

you're doing it. That's true, but sometimes my body sucks. Yeah, but your body's fighting, right? So, you gotta thank it. Be like, look, I know we're going through a rough time body, and I know you're doing your best. Now again, these are the thoughts of a man

who was incredibly high. But I feel like it still stands. You should treat your body well. Be like, hey, body, thank you. Thank you for keeping me disease free. That's, I mean, yeah. It's, uh, your body is doing a lot. And it's just trying to keep you alive, even if sometimes it sucks.

You know, sometimes it's actively not. I mean, there's sometimes your, your immune system starts attacking your own body. And like, dude, it's trying to help, dude. It don't know no better. It's trying to help. Well, it should be open to learning. Well, that's, yeah. I actually think there is like, uh, there actually are things where, like, they're trying to figure out how

a trick or like teach the immune system to like not attack itself type of thing like they actually are figuring out ways to do it which is also insane the fact that we're like learning that type of shit this is the same thing i was talking about when it comes to like the dude who let snakes bite him or the guy punching rocks or all that stuff these are the people pushing the humanity the human condition the humanity these are the people pushing the human condition forward exactly their insanity and their willingness to take it out on themselves as helping all of us. Exactly. I agree.

They're the Da Vinci's of our time. Yeah, we need more people doing weird shit that pushes the human race forward. Yeah, things that might seem crazy. But like, what happened to that couple that had that snake, they were taken out into the desert with uranium? Oh, yeah, that's right. They were trying to do a thing, and we stopped them. Yeah.

They could have changed the world. We need a, we need a guy that like, this has a big bag of like moldy inhales every day. He's like, I'm the mold man. That guy would die terribly. I'm the mold, but. Well, it's just like, you know how, so I watched, I finally sat down to watch the Chernobyl series.

Yeah. That's on HBO. It's great. Depressing as hell, but great. And one of the things afterwards that I was looking at is apparently in Chernobyl right now, There's mold that eats radiation. Oh, what the hell? I guess it evolved to thrive on eating radiation.

That's crazy. And so now I'm like, maybe Crendor's on to something. Maybe if a guy is the mold man. And then it's like, my mold will save us all. And like he creates some other vaccine or some nonsense from his mold blood. That's what I'm saying. You never know. You never know.

Or we're single-handedly creating a whole new, like, villains gallery of Batman villains. That's also possible, yeah. But sometimes you got to risk it. High risk, high reward. You won't get out of here alive, Mold Man. You can't stop me, Batman, Mold. Dude, Mold Man would be scary. That's what I'm saying.

He's like Clayface, but mold. Yeah. That's sick. It's like some Chaluminati episode. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's your fact of the day. Okay. Who has come to us with tears in their eyes?

Dear illustrious sirs, I come before you with tears in my eyes spreadsheet in hand and ask, if Crenthor had to make a pointless top 10 covering the podcast, what would be in that pointless top 10? That's a solid question. That's a very good, good question. That is a good question. I would definitely have to go with

a lot of our Florida main characters like, well, you got to have the green cheetah, Newport Richie, Guy Hero, the Greystorm, all on it. Yep. But then I think we'd also have our elf book. That would be on there. But what is the top 10 of, I guess, is the question.

It would just be top 10 things we've created. That's it. Top 10 things we've created. I don't know. What else would make it about? That's actual content. You're non-content. Yeah, but we're creating non-content.

Top 10 things we've created. No, that's content. We've created content. You can't say the top 10 non-content things are the content we create. we created. Well, I mean, I guess you could say that. That does sound like something you would say. Exactly. And I've already said it. Tusha.

Yeah. Then I'd put on the what do you call it? McDonald's menu we made. Mm-hmm. All right. Then I'd put on Woppy. Woppy'd be on there. Then is that six? I think that's eight. I think I'm at eight, so I need two more.

Let's see, I'd put on Monkey Mondays. Of course. Yeah. And then Oh, then Hank the Tank, the characterization of Hank. Great. The idea of Hank. The concept.

Yeah, the concept of Hank. That would be, there we go. Beautiful. Crazy. All right. Yeah, no. I mean, you nailed it, man. Yeah, thank you.

All right, here we go. We got another one coming in. Nim, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, Dear Lestery sirs, they come before you with tears in my eyes and ask, if you found yourself as the head of a religion cult, what would the tenets principles of your religion cult be? Who would be your saints, and what would they represent? I feel like I've already got one.

I think the space butterfly is pretty good. True. The tenants of were all just a dream of the space butter. So we're ephemeral beings in the mind of a creature we cannot understand. And we worship the moon. And we drink moon nectar, which is just some crazy shit I mix up in the back. That, like, tastes really good, but gets this really messed up. And then, yeah, probably like, you know, your standard orgy sex cult nonsense.

Yeah, that sounds right. That's what I would expect. Yeah, thank you. I think I would go with my sieve religion I made, the slothism. Well, of course. Yeah. And then all my saints would be like various sloths from Zootopia, the ones that work at the DMV. All your saints are cartoon characters?

Also, I just call them slants. Slants. Yeah, all the saints are slants. Yeah, slants. See, I got them. they can have like Demolition Man V-tuber little things

that they appear on like little TV things Uh-huh You know So they can They can exist wherever And then it would just be all about You know taking your time

Being patient, slow Right Not having no brain rot allowed You have to watch at least Three old movies To get in and make it through them and

you drink dry red wine you got to go out in the nature at least once a week and like sit in the trees get outside sit in a tree yeah you know

you don't have to hang from it like a sloth you just sit in there you have to appreciate the sloth lifestyle exactly that's what's about okay yeah no I guess I get it. I get that.

That's what I do. All right. What is our big new story of the day? Big news story of the day. Cheese lover. Addicted to cheddar spends over 60,000 pounds and eats two blocks every day. You know, of all the things. All the things.

Yep. That could be something you're addicted to. I guess cheddar cheese isn't the worst. It is, it does worry me because it feels like you're just stench is unbearable. He's probably, maybe he can like digest lactose at an insane level. Maybe? Maybe. A man who's addicted to cheese.

He has spent over 60,000 pounds on Shedder over the years and manages to get through at least two blocks a day. Mark King, 54, will put an entire block of cheese into a sandwich who would happily eat four a day if his wife, 49-year-old Tracy, would let him. But despite this, they claim doctors insist that Mark, a woodyard worker from Maidstone, Kent, is a perfectly healthy and... Oh, is perfectly healthy. and the dad of four even boasts a six-pack

after acclimatizing to the dairy product. He'll eat cheese with every meal, but skips macaroni and cauliflower cheese because they're not cheesy enough. Why doesn't he just add more cheese to it? Or is it because there's other things in the cheese like, you know, noodles and or cauliflower? He's like, nope, only cheese for me, please.

Yeah, maybe. quote, my husband probably eats the most cheese that's humanly possible. He has two packs a day. He would eat a lot more, but I've calmed him down. It's got a bit out of control, to be honest. Tracy, a former cleaner, told him to mirror this national cheese day. I did a video on my TikTok account. It got millions of views and thousands of comments saying he'll have a heart attack and all that because of the cheese.

He's very healthy. I don't think he would have a heart attack. He's very muscular. I took him to the GP for bloods and all that, and everything came back perfectly fine. GP said because he's been eating it for so long, he's likely acclimatized to it. I don't know if that's how it works, is it? I guess, sure. You could say that, but yeah, I don't know enough about how the body works to understand if you can really truly like get used to just pounding down cheese.

Like maybe it gets used to it, but it's still doing something to you. I don't know. When we met 25 years ago, he was doing these sandwiches. His favorite is a block of cheese in between two pieces of bread. He cuts it up. He has it with marmite, mayonnaise, and white pepper. Ugh. Marmite.

That's insane sounding. That's insane. That's some crazy shit. He's eaten four in a day before. Four blocks of cheese? Yeah. Tracy insists that a while, now she thinks it's a bit peculiar. initially she didn't think twice about the cheese intake because he's always lived that way. I didn't think anything of it because I did a video and I got a bit worried.

He said to me, don't be so stupid. I've always eaten cheese. There's no side effects. He's very muscular. He's nearly 55, got a six-pack, and I don't understand it. Makes me ill immediately. I can't even eat cheese at all. We worked that out just recently where we moved to a shop near us where we're buying a couple blocks a day and now we're trying to get it down to one a day. Tracy explained that Mark would spend her seven pounds a day on cheese, and each and every day adding up to 210 pounds a month, 25, 20 a year. Tracy continued, he points out he doesn't smoke, and that's 20 pounds a day.

It's been quite funny. He's been in a few newspapers, it's all good for us. It's his real life. Everything we have, whether it's a shepherd's pie or whatever, he covers it with cheese. He isn't like nachos either. He rarely eats cauliflower cheese. Cheese sauces don't appeal to him. Everyone calls him the cheese king on TikTok now.

People recognize us in the street and go, oh my God, it's the cheese king. Now, when they say 200 pounds of cheese, are we talking $200 worth or 200 pounds of cheese? Like British pounds. So, yeah. All right. So it's not like, all right, I was concerned. I thought they were talking about like 200 pounds. Like that's not, they could be buying some really nice cheese.

That's expensive. Yeah, no. This is an action. is just buying it with the pound money. Right. I thought you were saying about two. I was like, 200 pounds a month, dude? I was like, that would be, he'd be dead. There's no way.

But all right, 200 pounds is in like the money? That seems more feasible. Like it doesn't seem like, you know, especially these days. Yeah. I mean, there's probably people eating a lot more cheese than they even think. Oh, sure. Yeah. They put a lot of cheese on everything. They'll drench stuff and cheese

This dude's eating it daily Yeah, the thing I mean cheese though Like it has a lot of good stuff in it But it also has a lot of salt and fats And calories and things like that So it's definitely not a thing that I would You know

Consider having every day as much as this man Also You Like it would mess up I guess him saying I'm acclimated to it Is this nice way of saying I don't have mega farts anymore Yeah, I think so

And he's just like My body just digested efficiently You know, that's what it is Sure man I feel like the more of the backstory of this Is the six pack he has Because at 51 with a six pack He's doing he's putting in a lot of work

Yeah, he definitely is That isn't like just something that happens He's putting in work Yeah No, he's definitely putting in That's what happens with a lot of these But like even the Big Mac guy that eats like two Big Macs every day

He's like oh yeah I walk like you know 10,000 steps a day And like exercise Like they're always like exercising And doing healthy shit on top of the Yeah and it makes people think like Oh well that seems like a thing you could do

Like no no no Read between the lines This guy is a six pack He's 51 And just because he eats a bunch of cheese Doesn't mean he's not spending All day working out to maintain his physique Yeah exactly

So it's it's one of those things where it seems crazy, but they're allowing that lifestyle choice to happen because they're doing other healthy things that compensate. Yes, 100%. So yeah. But there you go. The Cheese King. The News story of the day. All right. Well, that's it for us. Thanks so much for listening and watching.
