Buildables.com slash Cox and Crendor. That's BLD, BLD, BLZ. dot com slash krendor all right and that's jumping this podcast everybody it's time for ghost and dreddong in the morning in the morning hello everybody once in a minute hello everybody on exciting episode of Cox and Crendar in the morning. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, sometimes it's not about

what you say. It's about the way you say it. Sure, sure, man. I don't know what was going on with either of those. I don't know what you said or how you said it. And then sometimes you're like, how am I going to open this show? And then you go, I'm going to say something. And then you go like, wait. You could have said, hello. Could have said, hey, listeners. You could have said, hey, Jesse, what's going on?

Buddy old pal, little buddy? Instead, you went, yeah. I could have said literally anything. I could have said, and you did. And you did. Yeah, I did say a thing. Although I think if I said, hey, listeners,

you'd probably be like, what the hell? You know what? Maybe you would fall up with like, I don't know, go buy our little figures, you know? That's true. I could have done that. Could it could have really helped sell it. That's true.

They are pretty cool, though. I liked putting you together. It was fun. Thank you. You've got more pieces than me, though. But I have 269, which is funny for the goofs. That is funny for the goofs. I think I do have more pieces just also emotionally. Right, right, right.

Like, not me, though. I lost a few pieces of myself along the way. Yeah, right. Exactly. Of course. But, you know. That's it is what it is. Actually, that's a, that's one of those sayings where people will say it, but then, like, I feel like it doesn't truly process, if that makes sense.

Like, people would be like, you know, it is what it is. And like half the people would say that truly do believe that. Like, hey, you know what, it really is what it is. And they move on. But other people are just like, you know, it is what it is. But then it bothers them like an hour later. It's the universal. I don't want to talk about it.

that's yeah i think that's what it is yeah there's a lot of those styles of sayings that many cultures have where it's like look yeah it sucks i don't like this but i also don't want to talk about it let's do anything else but this thank you but without having to be a dick you know what i mean like yeah no it is what it is yeah plus a lot of times i think if somebody's saying it is what it is they're probably dealing with something annoying and they just want to like you know forget about it and enjoy whatever they're doing. You know, that type of thing. I mean, it's the same thing is when someone says like,

how's your day going? And you go, it's going. You know? Same vibe. I think it's weird because in my mind, at least this is the way I perceive it when I've said this. It's not bad, but it's not good.

But it's also not worth complaining over. You know what I mean? Like there's a lot worse things that could happen. and I'm just inconvenience today and I'm a little peeped about it but like I get it if I were to explain it to you that this thing upset me

you'd be like well that's not too bad I can't fart anymore whatever the hell your problem is and I'd be like cool man all right well now I know that I didn't want to let's move on I don't even want to talk about it

let's keep going I will get over it as the day progresses let's move on are there people that can't fart I love that that was your takeaway from that whole thing by the way Hey. Hold on. Wait a minute. Are there people who can't fart?

It seems like most people can. I heard from, oh man, I think I was listening to the radio or some. I don't know what it was. But they were talking about farts, which is very funny. Yeah. And they were like, almost everyone on average farts three to five times a day. Wait, three to five. I feel like that's, it probably depends on a bunch of, different factors, right? Like your stress levels, what you've eaten.

Sure, but I think most people, when they think of farts, they think like, I think they're talking about like little toots. You know what I mean? Yeah, just kind of like, you know. Yeah, once you don't think about or consider a fart because you're just like doing a thing. Or maybe they count when you're on the toilet. Like, I don't know. I have no.

I didn't, they didn't explain it any more than what I heard. And I was like, all right. I mean, that sounds kind of accurate. I don't know. But I have to imagine it's an average, right? So some people are less and some people are more. Some people are just ripping ass all the time, Alex Fossiani, whatever the case may be. Well, why do you think that is?

Oh, I know why that is for Alex, because that man eats the craziest food ever. Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, there's also just your microbiome. Sure. Right? Like different microbiome. There's a point, dude, a few years ago. My microbiome was messed up.

I think I had the cybo. What is the, besides sounding like a character from like a DC comic, what is the cybo? So, cybo is just small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. But I thought you were yogurt man. How is it possible that yogurt man could have bacterial overgrowth? Well, I mean, I don't really eat as much yogurt as I used to, number one. Also, it's possible to have too many probiotics. Yes, that's true.

Yeah. This is the problem with all of the, like, health stuff and everyone's suggestions of things. For a while now, you know, people have been suggesting online, which is, you shouldn't listen to that, but whatever. People online are like, oh, I have a meat diet, and I eat a lot of proteins, and I, you know, the people who are out there eating meat and butter only or whatever, what people are discovering is that you really shouldn't do that because, Eating all of that means you're not eating enough fiber, which is leading to tons of colon cancers. Yeah, no, fiber is extremely important. People already don't get enough fiber for the most. Yeah, big time.

Especially in the modern era. But like, yeah, there's, it's like, sure, if you're exercising and doing all these things, then you're just only eating meat or something. It's like, I feel great. Well, it's like, well, yeah, you're also exercising and doing other stuff. But like. Yeah. But your insides are slowly getting.

messed up, bro. There's a reason why there's scientists or like eat this, this, this, put it all in moderation. You got to have your veggies. You got to have, you know, like some grains in there. You got to, that's the reason that they do all that. Otherwise, what would be the point? Why waste the time to have scientists like test all that crap? Yeah. It's the, there's a reason there's like the well-balanced diet. Right? Yeah. Yeah. It's like, sure, it's good to eat a little bit of everything and like balance it out. And then you're like, cool, I'm getting all the nutrients I need and all the things I need and like fiber and whatever.

And it's like good. But then there's people like, what if I only eat mushrooms? What if I only eat steak? What if I only? It's just like, why? Like maybe if you have like a disease or something where you're like, hey, you know what? If I eat other stuff, I get problems. But I only eat this, I'm good.

Like, okay. But that's definitely not everyone. And the thing that sucks is like you can. see the tangible gains from that immediately. Everyone I know who just went on like a meat diet thing, they started looking great. Like jawline just looking fabulous. They started getting muscles. And awesome.

But over time, things started to happen like they would get stank-ass bad breath. Their bodies would be like, oh, I woke up tonight. It felt so weird. Like things happen. And yeah, you get these tangible results and it looks awesome. and I'm sure, you know, you can go to the pool and feel like a stud, but over time, your body will be like, something's missing here. The main point here, all right, that I was trying to get at was a terrible gas. Uh-huh.

Parable. Like, it was, like, the type where it would just, like, destroy a room. Like, it was, it was bad. And so it took, like, a month to, like, correct itself from just, like, diet. I think it was honestly, it triggered when I was eating a lot of popcorn and like dark chocolate. Because I read those things are healthy. I was like, cool. And right after I started eating that, that's what did it.

And after I stopped, everything corrected itself. Maybe you're not a dark chocolate guy or maybe you're not a popcorn guy. I like those things though. But I think it was just eating them. I mean, so do I. But I think it was just I was eating them every day. Like if it's like once, it's like whatever. But I was eating it daily.

And so I don't know if it was like, because you could also have too much fiber again, like balancing everything out. Dude, there was one time I was like, I was eating a lot of fiber and then I tried taking some of the like fiber supplements. I had such bad like bloating pain. I was about to say that sounds like your lower body would be just like, braw. No, it was like a brick just sitting in there. I was like, oh my God. That's not cool. That sucks.

Yeah, it was terrible. Oh, it was one of the worst I ever had was from artichokes. I think you mentioned this. You can't do artichokes. Yeah, well, I can do artichokes. I just ate a lot of them. I like got them on a pizza. Hold on.

When you say, you keep using the word a lot. And I need you to tell me what that means exactly because our definitions of things are clearly different. Because when you say like, oh, I got a soda, for example, you mean a baby soda. And then you drank like one half of it. You know what I mean? So when you say artichokes, How many are we talking?

I think it was artichoke hearts. And it was at a pizza place and they put them on the pizza because I was like, that sounds good. And so it was just numerous artichoke heart. Like I've had like, you know, artichokes are like the Renfair where you scrape it out with your teeth or like, you know, maybe a couple artichoke. But I had a, they must have put more than usual on there like big ones. And then after that, that was that was some of the worst bloating I've ever had in my life. It was terrible. So, again, too much fibers also better.

Like, too much of certain foods. Like, it's just, it all just comes down to, like, figure it. That's why whenever you go to, like, the gastro doctor, as somebody has been the numerous gastro doctors, they're always just like, keep a food journal, keep a food log, like, figure out, because somebody will eat, you know, somebody can eat popcorn every day and be fine. And another person eats popcorn, and they're like, ugh. They're like, yeah, don't eat that.

It's like, it's just figuring out what your body can handle. You can figure out, like, yeah, what causes? is what honestly, I should start doing that. I definitely by the end of the day have forgotten what I ate that day. Oh, yeah. And sometimes, especially now, I'll realize that I am like drastically either under or over what my calorie should have been for the day. And I won't realize to like, all right, time to go to bed. And I'll be like, I'll think about it for a minute and go, damn, I didn't eat anything today.

That's a problem. and then so the next day I'll wake up and be like we gotta get on track and then I'll just eat way too much yeah it's a I'm a mess the ADD hit me hard dude I'm a problem yeah I uh

like honestly my gut's been pretty solid but I'm in my like food routine now like I pretty much know what I can eat and I eat that and it's like I get my protein I get my fiber I get all the stuff I've been good so that's been nice at least something's working yeah well that's good

I'm glad something's working for you. That's nice. I did read here, what happens when you hold in a fart? I, look, before you read the answer, according to schoolyard rules, you explode.

It's possible. Or your eyes pop out, one of the two. What is the thing also that makes people like love laughing at farts? Because it be like, farts are funny,

but like what makes it? Is it the sound? Is it the like, oh, geez? I think it's, There's a level of the noise, the embarrassment, the bodily nature of it. Because one of the things that has been noted, and I feel like we might have talked about this before. I talked about it with someone else, but I'm obsessed with this.

Going back even throughout history, like cavemen, some of the earliest jokes, like stuff written on walls and things, is farts. People have always laughed at farts, but also animals laugh at farts. What? Yeah. Like what? Monkeys? They don't like what we consider laughter. They use laughter like vocal things.

So, you know, things, but they acknowledge the fart and it's funny to them because of the sound and the unexpected nature of it. They respond to it with laughter like sounds, but it's not necessarily the same way we laugh. Uh, okay. But yeah, I think they recognize they fart is a better way to describe that. Yeah, so it's just like they do it. Then they're just like, ha-ha. Laughter and animals on Wikipedia. Apes, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans show laughter just like us.

They tickle. So that's probably the same thing. Rats have an ultrasonic laugh. Ultrasonic laugh. The hell? Yeah, it's really, it's like a chirp. that is weird So if you tickle a rat

They like let out little chirps That's pretty funny actually Dogs can laugh And dolphins Uh Have laughs Which apparently to them Is a short burst of pulses

Followed by a whistle What the hell So it feels like a lot of things Are just like E Like little like noises Which admittedly That's kind of

You know We laugh a lot of different ways. You and I both have different laughs completely, but we recognize what it is, because, you know, it's the loss of control. Like, you just start cracking up about something because it's genuinely funny, and that's how you respond to things. Yeah. Or, that's our own squeaks. You could also laugh out of nervousness, right? Like, plenty of people laugh when they're nervous. Like, I remember I was gonna, oh god, it was something like thing I was getting. There was like blood drawn or something like that.

And then I was just like, ha ha. Then the person was like, why are you laughing? I was just like, uh, it was like, you'd think you'd get more people that laughed when they were about that. Understood that? Yeah. Yeah. I'm always the person where if it's like a uncomfortable thing, I'm just like, uh, I'll either go quiet and just be like, oh no. Or I do the like, ha, yep.

Like, you do the nervous laughter type of. thing. I think that's also another kind of thing that goes into what a laugh is. It's a reaction. So having a rat go high pitched or dolphin click or what a it's a reaction. Everyone has

a reaction and then we just recognize it as a laugh. Like, oh, it's a positive reaction. But now as we discussed, sometimes it could be negative. It has much like the foods we eat. It has various types. Damn, dude, in a full circle. A full circle. Also, I like how we talk about farts and then it ended up being like, what is a laugh?

But yes, holding in a fart will cause you to reabsorb gas into the body. The rest of it, though, still needs to be released as flatulence. And until you do, the pressure will build up, which can lead to abdominal distension, bloating, and discomfort or pain. Some experts suggest it's better to approach to just release gas rather than weight, even though there are a few medical risks to holding them in. You can tighten your sphincter to hold in flatulence. No shit. The same way you hold in going number two, but you will eventually need to pass the gas.

Oh yeah, no, no, been there. Long car ride. There's been a few car rides where I've been like, got to make it home, got to make it home, got to make it home. Been there. I understand that. Yeah. At some point you can't stop that. It's going to come.

Yeah. The other thing it says is farting after surgery. Healthcare providers often measure recovery in the time to fart or how long it takes to fart again. Post-operative ilias. The hell is a complication that among other things means you're not farting normally. Dude, I had that. In my mind, I'm thinking if you have some gastrointestinal operation or whatever, but you're saying all operations?

Yeah, so the thing that does it is the anesthetic because when you get the anesthetic, it puts everything into like a sleep state. That's why whenever you have surgery, they want you to pee. It's not because they're like, oh, we just want you to. It's because they're making sure the anesthetic has worn off enough that you can actually like go to the bathroom. And if you can't, then it's just going to back up in your bladder and then your bladder will just explode. You know what? That's the worst thing I could think of. your bladder exploding.

Out of all the diseases and sicknesses, like sure there's a lot of things, like I don't want radiation sickness or whatever, but like internally, the idea of your bladder and or your intestines just being like, no, I'm done. And then just goop is inside you.

That's not, I'm not a fan of that. I already don't like thinking about it already. Like my weird ass like machine body. Like, nope, nope. I don't want to know what's going on down there. Do your job, body. I imagine you'd go into sepsis or something and die. That sounds terrible, dude.

That's not cool. But yeah, that's why whenever I talk about my gallbladder story, which it was eight years ago. Almost a decade of gallbladder freedom. Yep. And it was actually right around now because it was during the Olympics. So it was a terrible experience because the nurse let me go home. which apparently is a malpractice thing.

So we could have sued, but here we are. Because then, because they kept giving me stuff to drink. And you would think, like, that's probably not a good idea. Because then I just kept drinking stuff. And then they're just like, uh, you're probably fine. And then it turns out I wasn't fine. That's why I had to go back and then get cathetered, which, you know, normally being like, oh, God, but when you're bladder,

feels like it's super full and you can't go, then it feels great. Well, at the time, at least. The actual- Did they charge you for the catheter stuff? I don't believe they did. I was about to say, surely going back and being like, guys, something ain't right. Them being like, all right, we're going to charge you to treat you. Seems insane.

Yeah. No. And so that occurred. And then after that, the main point, I couldn't have gas. And so it was like getting backed up. Plus they like pump you full of gas and stuff apparently when they do the surgery. Yeah. To inflate all the stuff down there so they can get better access.

Yeah. So then I remember I had to go. I felt like I ate 20 cans of beans. Like it was terrible. And so I was like, okay. So I remember going back and then like a few days later. And then they went they're just like, oh, all right, we'll take a look at everything. and then I was just like I can't, like it feels like I'm super bloated.

But then while I was there, I remember farting. And that was a great feeling. That's really funny. I love your takeaway is like, I remember farting. And that was a great feeling, period. Yeah. So I mean, listen, after that, I started feeling better. So I was like, this is great.

And then, you know. Farts make you feel better, dude. That's the lesson here. It really is. And then they took the catheter out, which was also an experience. And, you know, from then on, I improved. So the lesson here, the moral, the takeaway is,

farts good, no farts, bad. Yeah, and never hold them in. That's a Cox and Crendor approved thing. Cox and Crendor say, hey kids, fart a lot. Yeah, let it out. Let it out. I think the real, you know how you know you're in a real relationship. If you can just rip ass in front of your partner.

That's true. It truly is. Whenever it's early in a relationship or the fake ones, like that guy from that TikTok where he's like decked out in his corporate gear, you can tell he's just like, I don't fart. I want to really quickly, I want to talk about that. That guy. I went back and watched your reaction to that video.

By the way, for those who don't know, we did a too old for this Valentine's. what people on TikTok are trying to sell you for Valentine's Day. This one guy just looked like every Wolf of Wall Street character combined together. He did, yep. And he was telling you what to buy. He had like a very, you know, American psycho look to him. But the thing that really upset me was the entire time when I watched you reacting to it, he didn't have a belt on.

And the lack of belt really upset me because. His whole outfit, I realized something was wrong. And I couldn't figure out what was wrong. And I realized he didn't have a belt. He had all these other little accoutrement on his outfit. And he was just like, oh, I'm so cool and wealthy. Dude, didn't have a belt. And I was like, I can't get over the fact that there's no belt.

I realized, I think that's genuinely why I did not like him at my core. Something was off. And I was like, something's weird here. It was cause he didn't have a belt on. I just try you're right That is weird It's super weird How are you gonna dress up like that

And not have a belt It looks bizarre to have those pants And that shirt with no belt It really does Because otherwise it's It's like he's got Like sweat paints or something then That's what it's

It's very bizarre You would think for sure The belt would The man's talking about like He has a giant beautiful watch on. You're telling me you're going to wear that watch and not a belt, bro? Yeah, it's crazy. Crazy.

That is crazy. That's how I knew. He's an American psycho. You don't wear a fool like, I'm ready to do business and stocks and stuff and not have a belt. Unless that's like a new thing where like only losers hold their pants up. Only losers put belts on. Yeah, like I don't I didn't see somebody that said

Crendor drop in relationship hacks this episode Listen to your partner know what they like Mindblown slash S listen Like you're being sarcastic like okay we all the People don't know that All right There are numerous people out there that do not know that Or just don't acknowledge it or don't

Like just think of the amount of people Like I've seen to the point where they make sitcoms And shit back in the day of like My man me a vacuum cleaner type of shit. Like, this is, maybe it's an older generation thing. I genuinely think it is a little bit because, uh, I saw two things in the last few days that are literally this.

One, it was a video about people complaining about their spouses and or boyfriend, girlfriends online and making videos where they, like, shame them, right? And premise-wise, it was like a long time ago, and by a long time ago, I think they mean, they were young. So I think they mean like 20 years. But like, you know, 70s and back. Women in the United States and, you know, this still continues in many parts of the world, but at least here in the U.S., you couldn't even have a credit card until like 1979.

You couldn't have like bank accounts and stuff. Like women were reliant on men. That's insane. So a lot of that became women were in relationships with men married to them to have access to things that would just let them live. And so women would congregate together and complain about their husbands or men would complain about their wives. And it was because divorce laws were different and the world was different. And it was just easier to complain and make jokes and do that whole thing than get a divorce or hash it out with your husband. Because he had no reason to listen to you, really.

And now as women get more and more rights and freedoms and things, more and more women are looking for relationships where they don't have to have that thing. and so what happens is when people go online and do videos where they make fun of their spouse or boyfriend girlfriend people react like then don't date them dummy why are you complaining if it sucks so bad why stay with them like this is performative nonsense if you really what you just said is true then why are you with them still especially when so much of the internet is people who are single complaining about dating or the person that they were going to date or wanted to date or can't date or whatever the hell. People are like, we're already dealing with single people online complaining up a storm.

Now you're going to come on here and complain about a person you chose to be with? What are you doing? And then I saw a Reddit post where I think it was like in the, it was on the front page, I think it was like the women's subreddit. I wish I knew it. I think it's called like double X chromosome or so I don't know. Anyway, the Reddit was how many of you had boyfriends or husbands who said, oh, I would have gotten you flowers for Valentine's Day.

I just didn't get a chance. And then didn't get you anything. And then what did you do? And it was literally just story after story of boyfriends being like, I didn't know what to get you so I didn't get you anything. or yeah, I was thinking about getting you something, but I was playing video games and just forgot. Or you're really hard to shop for,

and I never know what to get you, that kind of stuff. It's like, how are you in a relationship with someone for five years you don't know what to get them? Yeah. Which made me think back to the previous thing I was talking about of like people sometimes get into relationships because they feel like they have to, and then they stay in them

because they feel like they are required to do that for some insane reason. And then it leads to that kind of stuff where you just don't care about your partner, you're there. And it's like, why, bro? Why do that to either of you? It's wild.

If anything, I think I've learned that you and Toast probably have one of the most stable relationships of people I know. I mean, yeah, it's true. We're both, uh, we're both good at listening and we both like communicate, which really is 90% of relationship is just listening and communicating. because most, I mean, really, it's like, which really, that just boils down into like gift giving and things like that. Because if you listen and communicate, then you can like piece things together because you know information about them and they know information about you and you know how they act. And it's just, it makes sense.

I think there's just a lot of people that don't listen or communicate. Like just, I mean, really in general, you can just go online and see how bad people are communicating with each other. like instead of just like listening to someone out, even if you don't agree with somebody, people will just emotionally react and you could just be like, oh, this is my thing, and be like, you're an idiot, I'm not listening. Like, no matter what it is, no matter.

Like, for example, my dad will always be thinking about what he's going to say next instead of actually listening for the most part. And there's a lot of people like where they're just, you can be talking to them, they're like, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, right, yeah, uh-huh. Anyway, yeah, I, uh-huh. And it's like, you know, they're not listening. And I guarantee there are

a lot of people out there like that. Because I've definitely run into many of them. A lot of them just they don't care. Or they're just like, there's so many guys that are just like, whatever. Like, just look at like I think a lot of them

would be more of the call of duty playing ones on streams and YouTube, right? Like a lot of the bro dudes. I think are probably more like that. I feel like a lot of our listeners are probably less like that, I would say. But mainly because they're very cool and mature, of course.

Yes, see, exactly. And they go buy our buildables at buildables.com slash Cox and Crendor. Exactly. A perfect gift for anyone. For anyone. True. You should buy it for your loved one today. But what's interesting is I think you brought this up and one of the videos we watched

brought this up and I'd like to think I did but I don't remember. So I'm not going to give myself the credit. But the intentionality of doing things. for someone else I think is really important in that everyone is busy. Like everyone's busy all the time. I think about this with Dodger and Sam frequently and that they're doing way too much, way too much.

I can see that in the relationship, they make moments for each other. Like despite the fact that they work way too much and have a kid and have a farm and animals and all sorts of crap, they'll be like, oh, it's our date night. Or this is the thing we do. And that is,

that's what you have to do in a relationship. You have to, even if you're constantly like, oh, I play video games all the time and I got to be online for my boys or I've been working. If you can't add that little extra intentionality of like reminding the person you're with how much you care, then why be in a relationship? You're not ready for one. Yeah, exactly. I mean, there's plenty of people that are terrible at being in relationships because, It does require like caring about someone else and actually like putting energy into it, which is why there's probably a lot of them where they're just like, man, I don't want to do this.

And then they just like stop trying because like you do need to try. At least like somewhat like obviously sometimes more than others depending on, you know, factors. But like you do need to put the effort into it. Like you and you should enjoy. I think the big thing is you should enjoy being around that person. because if you don't, then it's like, why are you even in a relationship? Honestly, that's the trap of like having a, you know, like a trophy wife or husband or whatever where it's like, yeah, we're dating because they're beautiful and everyone's jealous.

It's like, yeah, yeah, but what do you talk about? Yeah. What do you like do together? That seems weird that you don't do anything together? That seems strange. Oh, my God. Now I have a story. Okay.

So I was at the grocery store buying We were buying like stuff for Valentine's Day Because we made like a charcutory board And then we cooked like pasta and stuff So we were like I was getting the stuff for that And there was a couple Let me

Paint the picture All right It was an older Older Older man that looked like Alex Fasiani at like 65, full gray hair. Santa Claus, okay. Yeah, Santa Claus and a little drunk.

And then he was with an Asian woman who was, I want to say like 35, maybe 40, definitely far younger. And she was just like trying to look at stuff. And he did, it was like, it reminded me of that thing we saw in L.A. at the mall where he was like, you're eating too much. Like, she'd look at something and he'd be like, I told you one more, one more. You can pick out one more thing.

All right? Like a child? Yeah, like she's fine. And like, like, she was walking past certain stuff. And then she was, like, pointing at like some whiskey on the thing. And he's like, no, I told you. Just that. Go, what are you like?

He's like, you want to look at the bread? Go look at the bread. Go look at the bread. And then she, like, went over there. And he, like, went over there. And he's like, what, you like this day. And it was just. It was so weird.

And it just like it freaked me out. Because I was like, this is, this is definitely some like mail order bride situation or something. There is a really funny bit, like a meme that was going around on social media for a little bit there when the new Avatar movie came out. Which was the like two villains getting together in that movie. Now, I haven't seen it, but I know enough of the memes to know what was going on. And it's the two baddies finally like getting together and becoming like, you know, a couple. And the meme was every old white supremacist and his Asian girlfriend. And that is, not only did it pan out within like a week, there was some other meme of the exact same thing, but it was real life.

Because it's like absolutely true. The like craziest oldest, most racist dude you know has like a Hispanic or a Filipino or, you. Like, you know, someone else as a wife other than like the white woman you'd think he'd go for. But I also feel like the answer is embedded in it perfectly because it isn't about finding a woman who is your equal, who you would want to date, but about controlling someone and lording over them. And in this case, the racism is like you pick someone who isn't white, you know. Yeah, exactly. That's what that reminded me. I mean, it may not be exactly that, but it felt very much like.

like that. All in my mind I can see is the two blue people from Avatar staring at the fire being like, yeah. That's it. That meme hit me in a way. I was like, that's the realist dude. Yeah, I don't know. The main thing is just like put some effort in the a gift and that's really it. It's just showing you care and took the time to do so. Like that's really it like whatever it is. You know, and it's good. I think a lot of times you leave it. There's like the meme of like the bro guy who's just like, here's the flowers and chocolate. And then they just like start playing Call a Duty or something. And then they're just like, then their partner will just be like,

oh, my, like, what is this? Like, obviously you didn't listen. And they're just like, bro, I got you flowers, dude. Like, what do you want? Like that type of thing. But it's like they don't process like the depth of gift giving or just like caring about something. Again, I think it goes back to the thing we've said.

numerous times. A lot of people aren't ready for prime time when it comes to relationships. They're like, I want that because other people have it and that's what I think I should have. And also like, I want someone to touch my wiener or whatever. But it doesn't necessarily mean you're ready to be in a relationship with another human being. You just are horny. Yeah, exactly. That's a lot of relationships. I mean, that's also.

Yeah, that's most of them I think at this point. I'm pretty convinced. I even saw one of the top comments on a thing about gifts and stuff was just the guy being like, my physical, my love language is physical touch. Like that type of thing. Dude, there's a show on Tooby, which by the way, we have here in the office, every often I watch stuff and it's great. That channel is incredible. Oh, yeah. Shout to free insane TV.

But there's a show on, you know how there's like a lot of shows now where it's literally psychiatry? talking to couple on couch, like that's the whole show. Right, the Dr. Phil. They have one of their own versions of it. And in this one, because Tooby definitely caters to like a more black audience, that's kind of the vibe, right?

And so instead of like two older white people complaining about their love life, it's just two older black people complain about love. Same vibe, just different audience. Right. But in this, exactly what you're talking about, a couple is sitting with a psychiatrist and he's asking them to,

describe what they love about their partner. And the woman goes first and she's like, uh, and there's a long bit of silence. And the husband looks over and goes, that's an awful lot of silence. You can't think of anything. And she responds with,

well, he makes me food and keeps me fed. Both the psychiatrist and the guy look at each other. Like, uh, and then it's the guy's turn. And he starts just laying it on. I don't even know if he means. it, you know what I mean? But he's laying it on. He's saying, every time I look at her, I'm so

thankful she's mine. I can't believe I married her when I closed my eyes and I opened again and I see her. I'm just blown away that she's my partner in life. And so the psychiatrist turns back to her and says, is there anything you'd like to add now that you've heard what your husband has to say? And she has nothing else to add. Nothing. In fact, while the husband was saying stuff like, oh, she's perfect, she's beautiful. She's like, I am, you're right the entire time. That definitely sounds like narcissism. Yes. And again, I think it goes back to the point I wanted to make,

which is like some people are so caught up in their own world and their stuff, they don't have time for anyone else. And until you do, you shouldn't be in a relationship. You just shouldn't. I feel like we've hammered that home, so I'll move on. But, you know, I did want to bring up something to you that I'm super interested in your hot take on. Oh, boy, all right. Yes. So this week we got a bunch of articles out there about World of Warcraft.

And you're the wild player I know who has all the thoughts. And you probably should make a video on this, to be honest. But I'm really curious. I've probably thought about whatever it is. All right. So an article came out and I'll just read you the beginning of this. All right. World of Warcraft has now been around for 22 years and a lot of its fan base has changed. As one of the most popular MMRPGs available today, the game.

has managed to keep an evolving audience. But, according to executive producer and vice president, Holly Longdale, its biggest challenge is keeping the attention of its aging population, which, by the way, I think we both said, MMOs are just getting, like, player base is getting older and older and older. Yeah. It's new kids aren't playing it. It's just, yeah. And the kids who are are the sons or daughters of the old people playing.

Yeah, right. So Longdale has already expressed the desire to keep expanding the Warcraft IP into more than just simply an MMRPG. However, this desire to expand Warcraft also extends to expanding World of Warcraft itself. This has led to the introduction of features like player housing and features designed to let people feel like they're progressing without giving much time to the game. Speaking to game business, Longdale explained that the core audience of World of Warcraft simply has less time than they did 20 years ago. Back then, many players were in college or could live on a reasonable job salary, etc. Now, players have less time than ever, especially as the core fan base gets old.

This is a quote. Gamers don't have a lot of time anymore necessarily. We want to make sure we're respecting the ways they play. Things like housing allow you to come in and achieve something without pressure. We see this more and more across the industry and across our own players. Longdale says that World of Warcraft survives because often Blizzard is willing to design more breadth to the game that allows the game to service multiple types of players with different amounts of free time. And I have to imagine that statement did not go well with the hardcore wow fan base,

who think that making things a little easier on players means the game is trash. And I'm really curious where you are in this space. Have you heard anything about it? If you have any thoughts on what Holly said, things like that. I did hear about that. I mean, I've also heard just other stuff about wow in general, like the Disneyification of the, the, the, the, the, story and things like that. Yeah, I think that's something because, you know, Ian

Azacostas and there's more quotes. Like one of them is like, give me something I can play with my kids or play with my partner, like that kind of thing. We're aiming to make the game approachable for anyone, which again, I think goes back to the idea of yeah, well, if you make it for everyone, it's not for anyone in overtime. Yeah, exactly. And I mean, I do agree with that kind of. It's like when you start to please everybody, please nobody type of thing. Like you need to pick a direction. I would say in that aspect, I think they should just go with the fact of like, hey,

our player base is older. Like, they are adults. Maybe we can do like more adult theme stuff and that'd have to be like the power of friendship Marvel anime. That I think is, yo, I agree with you completely. If your fan base is more adult,

wouldn't you try to make your stories? Because what they're talking about is gameplay mechanics. Like, oh, we have player housing and we're making easier for you to do things. We have catch-up mechanics and this and this and this. But wouldn't it, wouldn't the focus be better spent on making the things in the game story-wise,

scenario-wise, dungeon-wise, more adult? Not like, there's tits everywhere, but you know what I mean? Like adult stories and adult situations that resonate with older people rather than what you're talking about, which is at least what I saw in Dragon Flight, and some of the things from the last expansion seem kind of like

the kids are going to love this one. Yeah. It is very much like that, which is interesting because there are things like that, and they're usually side quests. Like there's the one side quest where you like help the one earthen guy and then he has like dementia and you watch him like lose his mind and like eventually he like dies essentially and like shuts down in the sea.

Like that shit was wild or like the Tuscar. You do like a vire. Viking funeral for the Tuscar. I was like, dude, this shit's like crazy. And then you go to like the main overarching story and I'm like, I don't care. Like it just feels so generic and like trying to like, it's like trying to walk the tight rope of like, we're having a fun time and we're not getting a little too crazy. It's like, but we're doing side quests where we're doing like other shit that like covers like in-death topics and like all this stuff. Like why can't we just do that to the main story?

Like it doesn't make sense. And I think that's all people want with the story too. It's just like depth and just like adult, like being able to use your brain and like like characters and have gray scale character. That's one of the reasons people love characters is because there's no like good or bad characters essentially. It's why people stop being like, here's the evil dark lord who's over the land. It's like now we have more villains where it's like they're bad, but like, you know, sometimes they do things that are like, I kind of agree with them on that, but like I don't like them and they're obviously evil and like, well, they do. This good character does bad things. too, because that's how just humans are.

Right? And so when you have a story that's just very kind of like generic Marvel, like, here we go, through the power of friendship, and the good guys are good, and the bad guys are bad. It's like, I don't know, it's just boring. And I think that's the thing that a lot of these MMO teams don't quite understand, is that it's an MMO RPG.

So it's a role-playing game, and all role-playing games at heart must have a good story. You can have all these side things to do and all these other things. But the story isn't compelling. Your players won't stick around to do all the side things and do all the bonus stuff. And, you know, if I don't like the story, why would I want to build a house in your world if I think it's a boring world? Yeah, exactly. And so, I mean, this is also interesting because I've like been working on my book now.

And so I keep writing or I keep watching like writing advice. And like I've been watching a lot of just like different editor like copyright or. not copy, but like manuscript editors and writing people. There's one guy watch named, what's his name? Patrick Walsh and he's just like a professional editor and he'll just be like these are

things that we look for in editing, like for character development, for like, you know, the middle of the story. Does it hold up? Like the end of the stories and like all these different parts of a story. And there's just so many that are lacking in the World of Warcraft. Like just characters in general

that's the most recent. That's the most recent one I've been watching. And he pretty much had like nine different types of things for creating good characters which is some I forgot the examples of but ones like give them something to lose immediately. So it's just like maybe they're going to lose their job.

Maybe they're going to lose a person they love. Maybe they're going to lose their dog. Look at John Wick. It's like he loses his dog. He goes insane. Right? Yeah. Like that type of thing. And then you're like, oh shit. There's also show them caring about someone else. So like maybe you know, they're walking around and then they see somebody getting picked on and they go like,

you're like, hey, like try to defend them or something. Then there's give them the, give them a weakness that costs them something. There's make them good at something specific, like, you know, Sherlock or, you know, any of that, like, make them really good at something where they're interesting. There's show their moral line and make it cost them. So that's kind of like, you give them. Say that's kind of like hunger games-e, right? Of just like her sister's going to go into the hunger games

and she's just like, I'll do it, but now she might die. Right, like that type of thing. There's probably other examples of that. There's, I mean, yeah, there's so many great examples of exactly what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think that's what makes those characters memorable and compelling because it's like, damn, would I have made that choice

as a reader or watcher or whatever? Mm-hmm. And that's actually one of his, my favorite ones he mentioned, was give them a choice between two difficult options because then you as the reader, like, what choice would I make? And now you see them make this choice and you go, well, I got to see how this plays out. Right? And you feel this attachment because you're like, wow, they just made this really difficult choice.

Like, I know how that is. And like, people do that instead of just like some generic-ass thing of like, we are the good guys, we must fight the bad. Like, it's just, you know. That is literally why Witcher 3 is considered a great game. because every choice, no matter which one it was, there is no good option. There will always be a consequence that will lead to something else happening. Yeah.

And that's honestly, that's why people liked Game of Thrones as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's like all the choices, people, it's just people like politics and interacting all this stuff. And that's why it got so bad too is it feels rushed and the characters were doing things that didn't make sense. And they just started being like, it started getting a little bit of that. marveled like and here come the heroes they're gonna kill the ice king and

there's just like this isn't what it this isn't what the show was like this isn't what it started as and that also is incredibly interesting when you think about the difference between the way George wrote and the way that

the writers in the show wrote because yeah you're right there's the delineation where wow this feels like real consequences are happening for real choices and then it's like no no this is a whole different show now and people were over it they were like I hate I hate this way of

storytelling where everything's negative and it's like well it wasn't supposed to be negative there were still moments of like good in the show or in the books but in the show eventually every choice became like and then they died for it it's like well all right well that's lazy

yeah no that's it becomes lazy and it's it's paired up with that That's just, you know, but in terms of the other stuff where they're just like, we want to respect your time, right? Or whatever, stuff like that with like player housing or they added in the one button rotation where you can just press one button and it does your whole rotation or that they added things like.

Honestly, that kind of stuff I dig. I dig both of those. No, yeah, I agree. My thing was like, listen, the people always be like, oh, it's getting babyified. When I play, listen, is somebody who played classic wild numerous times, but you know what my rotation was as a warlock in molten core? It was shadow bolt, shadow bolt, shadow bolt, shadow bolt, shadow bolt, shadow bolt, shadow bolt, shadow bolt, shadow bolt, shadow bolt. And it's just like, okay, what's the difference if I'm doing that or hitting the one butt, like, whatever.

And you still have to, the thing people mention with the one button is you still have to do like movement abilities. It's not going to blink for you. It's not going to do shit like that. It's just the combat rotation. So it's fine. And then it helps people that, there's people, there's like, I have arthritis and shit. It's nice to have that. Like, cool.

Like, whatever. And it still doesn't, you know, it still doesn't perform better than actually going through your whole rotation or doing all this stuff. They're not using, like, one button in arenas or something. Although I think there might have been a little bit where they did. But that's besides. It's, like, delves are great. They're essentially just, like, dungeon raids you can do on your own or you can do with your friends. friends, like, they do have a lot of good time-saving gameplay mechanics and stuff.

It's just, it also becomes, like, balancing that with the stuff for people that want to play it in a hardcore sense. Sure. Which, you probably have just a small minority of that compared to the actual large player base, to be honest. But I think that does become the problem is you don't want to, like, simplify it too much. much, but you still need some simplification or like, it's like how we had the dungeon finder. Yeah, we still have the dungeon finder where it warps you. Some people are like, no, I want to walk to the dungeon. Some people are like, hey, you know what? I want to have the dungeon finder make me a group and then we go walk to the dungeon. Some people are like, I want to have it

make me a group and then we walk to the dungeon, but we have summoning stones so we can bring people. Like, it just depends what personal preference the person wants in terms of convenience. And everybody wants something different, which is why it's insane. If the discussion is about we have an audience that's getting older and we need to cater more to them, the fact that there isn't a discussion about making the story seem a little more older. It still feels like it's written for like high schoolers. Yeah, it does. Which is funny because it felt more adult back when people were in high school playing it.

And now that they're older, it's still like it's gotten less like. that which is like it doesn't make sense. I mean, and you know, now that I'm playing 14, we had a whole multiple expansion arc that was really adult, really very cool. The story was literally about the end of everything. And it was people are crying. They're like coming to terms with existential dread and shit. Like really tackling stuff.

And then the most recent expansion was like, summer vacation, everything's fine. And people hated it. A lot of people are like, I'm here for a story, especially with 14. And if you don't have a compelling story, which this most recent expansion just simply didn't, no one's going to latch on to it. And you're going to lose players and people are going to complain. And what's hilarious is for the first time in years, people started complaining about problems that had been problems in 14 the entire time.

But because they had nothing to grab onto for joy and they were just like mad at what the situation was, all those problems bubbled to the surface and became focused. now. It's the focus of what they were doing. And that's, you know, it happens. And so I can see why despite while in like a really great place right now with a lot of things, there's still people who are just like, this isn't the game I signed up for. And it's also, it's also evolved

over time to a point where at the start, you were just like, I'm just some random person that level one trying to make it in the world and you go on your journey, and you level up and then you become a hero and then you get gear and you become a bigger hero. And I think that's why a lot of people like classic wow is just because you go on that hero's journey yourself. And you're just like, wow, you know,

you've traveled the world and you've done all these things and now you become a hero. And now you are the hero. And it's just like, what heroic thing are you going to do now? Like you save the world from another dragon, another evil thing. And it's just like, it gets to a point where you're almost just like, I just want to do like the hero's journey again.

type of like, I want to be a nobody again. So it's... I mean, here's what I'll say. There are reasons why the great stories are... Person comes from nothing. Takes that hero's journey. Gets the call to action. Goes on this quest.

Defeats the villain. End of story. That's it. Because what happens after that, most of the time, probably boring as shit. Yeah, exactly. Plus, oh my God, I also hate the over-explanation of things that doesn't need explanation. Oh, dude, that's just people not paying attention.

That is, I think, the inherent problem with a lot of games where people are playing it for different reasons. And some people just don't pay attention. They're there to murder and move on or like grind or whatever. And so developers feel like they have to repeat explaining things. But like, don't, that's on them to catch up. It shouldn't be on you. Well, I mean that, but I also mean things like the force. Like, we didn't need to know how the force works.

Oh, sure, sure, sure. Right? Or like with wow and the old gods, they're like, let's explain the old gods. Like, we don't really, we don't need to learn about the old gods. That's part of the fun is like the mystery of it. Like, I think people love having stuff where they don't know everything and they can theory craft or like try to figure it out on their own or piece together, like piece together little clues and things. And it's like, you know, sometimes you just don't know things. The same way in real life, there's plenty of stuff where it's like, we just don't know something.

It's like, why are black holes the way they are? I don't know. It's just a thing. We don't know. And then I think that's just, it's fun. Instead of just being like, oh, well, I have to explain the old gods now. I have to explain the force that because people want to know. And it's just like, no.

Stop. Yeah. It feels like a, like a cheap writing. tool to say, well, we have to do something with this project working on. So what if the thing we do is we explain this thing that has never been explained before, which in the end is pointless. Like the point, you're trying to tell a story yet, you know, you're trying to do a thing. You're not trying to fill in blanks.

If you fill in blanks while the story is being told awesome. But if that's your objective, you're setting out on the wrong objective. Yeah. no it's uh and i think that's that's happened in far too much media in our current in our current world yeah i just yeah i want to know what you thought about that because i i was i saw that article and was like look i get wanting to please everyone but you simply can't and that's like a hard lesson to learn yeah it's the same with streamers and YouTubers where they're like guys what do you want to see on the channel it's like you just got to do what you want like that's

that's it because like everyone's going to be like, I like this or I like this or then you try to please everybody and you just, you can't. You have to just do what you want to do and enjoy doing it and be like, this is what this channel is. And then if you want to do something else, you make another channel and do it over there. But like, or you know, with streams, there's like, uh, guys, I want to stream this game. But then I don't know. And then people will be like stream the game.

And then you just got to do what you want to do. Yeah, you have to accept that some people are going to like the thing you do. But if it's what you want to do, at least you'll have fun doing it. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. But you know what else you'd have fun doing? Cooking for yourself and learning to cook, man. It's February.

It's actually pretty nice out. So that's been good. There's also, you know, some traffic in the sky, as you would expect, from traffic. And the sky itself, you know, how big is the sky when you think about it? I mean, the sky I guess it's in the atmosphere but then how how would you measure the sky?

Thank you. I think you just asked an existential question which I love which is like how big is the sky? If you had to quantify the sky does it stop in the upper atmosphere and where in the upper atmosphere does it stop?

Or, because they say sky's the limit but that means it's unlimited. Yeah, but clearly So is space considered the sky? At night when you see stars, is that the sky? Yes. So is space still sky? Exactly.

That's what I'm asking. I don't know. Personally, I wouldn't include space in the sky. But you have to, because then the stars are in the sky. But they're not in the sky. You say that, but then there's literally the game, no man's sky. Oh, yeah. That's true.

So this feels like we are two ancient Greek philosophers who just blew each other's minds. It really does. What is sky, Horatio? I do not know, plotes. You know what I mean? Like, yes. The sky is but the stars and the clouds, yet they do not meet with each other. They are far away, for the clouds might look up and say, there are stars in the sky.

That's, here's the thing. There are stars in the sky. So that would mean space is sky. Also, if we traveled to another planet and on that planet looked up, we would say, oh, that's the sky. Where does, so is everything sky? Yeah, it's, it can't be. It's got to be defined as like Earth sky, right? I don't know.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Sky definition. The region of the atmosphere in outer space seen from. Earth. So anything you see from ground is sky. Interesting. So it is. And if I'm on another planet and I'm looking out, that sky. So space is sky. Damn.

That's wild. We learned a lot here today. Look at that. That's the traffic. All right. Let's go to sports. Weather. Weather? Weather? Welcome to sports weather. The strongest weather around with its competitive aspects. So athletic, yeah. Well, we've got weather requests from... Oh, 16 weather requests.

Here we go. This would be a good one. And we've landed on weather requests for Morin Poland, M-O-R-Y-N. It is the sister city to my dinky little town, Bronson, M-I, Michigan. And I'm hoping it's the more interesting of the two. I will say when you look it up, the very first image it appears to be a giant horse in the middle of the woods.

That's pretty interesting. Yeah, I don't know what that means, but okay. Currently in Morin, Poland, it is 23 degrees Fahrenheit with 10 mile an hour winds, 36 on the air quality, 29.84 inches of pressure, 10 mile visibility, sunrise 7 a.m., 72% humidity, due point 15, moon phase, waning crescent.

And a 5.14 p.m. sun set. 10 day. We've got ourselves 26 and cloudy. Monday, 31 cloudy on Tuesday, 3,1 cloudy, Thursday, 32, mostly cloudy, Friday, 35, partly cloudy. Saturday, 36 with some rain, snow. Sunday, 40 with rain, snow, and Monday, 42 with rain.

It is basically on the Polish-German border. Oh yeah It is maybe like 10 times closer to Berlin than it is to Warsaw Which is wild I have to imagine a lot of the landmarks and stuff are kind of World War II related

I would guess Yeah Yeah there's I mean there's a straight up a tank As a monument in one thing So okay Yeah this is It looks wow some of these restaurants

look old as hell I love a restaurant that looks like it is the oldest place that ever was it honestly is pretty cool so you know that that place has been through everything yeah like Porta Moran is a restaurant

slash hotel and that building looks like it has been redone 30 times it looks like it is old parts and new parts and things added onto it. But dear God, Krendor, look at the... Every dish looks delicious. Oh my God, yeah.

That place looks like it's popping off. It really does. But it also has a vibe of like new meets old. The interiors, some of the interiors look like it's from 1820 and some of it looks like it's from 2010. It really does. This is kind of weird. I love that kind of thing.

I love when people keep old, but as well. add to it because it has like a history to it. They didn't just replace it. Yeah. It does look really good though. Yeah, dude, there's a lot of kebab places. There's a lot of like old kind of vibey things, but also more importantly, mostly just houses. This is, this is, I don't even know if you consider this a tourist town.

This is just a town town. Yeah, this is actually just a town town. There's a kebab place and there's like a pizza place. Hold on. We got to check it. Yep, got to check it. Oh, boy, pizza place. What's the, oh, and there's a very nice looking cafe, ice cream parlor.

And the very first thing I see is a little tiny man made out of ice cream. And frankly, I love that for everyone there. They got a rhino outside. Yes, they also have a giant horse. I wonder if there's just like random animals everywhere. Maybe. But like, honestly, the pizzas look. like pizzas.

Honestly, anything too crazy on them. Yeah, they look pretty solid. I'm shocked that at the pizza restaurant, there's actual like other real food. Yeah, I am. Yo, that chicken soup. That looks like the chicken soup I got at the Polish restaurant. We went.

Yeah, that's my, dude, I love, that restaurant was great. Shout out to Polish food. Yeah. Always, I love it when it's like a little sour. Give me some sour stuff. Crout or otherwise, big fan. They had like some livered, like spread or something. I don't even though.

Yeah, that was delicious. Here's the thing. I'm looking at this. They got like fish and chips and then straight up just like baked fish. They got parogi. This is a pizza restaurant. Cool, man. Yeah.

But maybe because it's a small town, you have to do that. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, maybe. Because there's only as far as I can, I'm looking, there's maybe like eight restaurants total in the entire town. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe less than that. There's a lot of like inns and things, but yeah.

And like there's not too much around them either. It's just like forest, I think. So. Yeah, there's a lakes to one side of the town and then camping grounds all over it and then a giant national park and then Germany. Yeah. Like this is, it's really in the middle of nowhere. Honestly, it's kind of like if you were thinking if it was an island and Germany was the ocean, it's kind of like a peninsula too.

where it's almost surrounded on all sides by Germany. Yeah, this is really cool. Honestly, very cool. I wonder if people who live there go to Berlin more than anywhere else. You know what I mean? Like how far of a travel time, maybe like a couple hours? If they could get on a train, probably much less time. Yeah.

But I don't see any train tracks at all. I see a few roads in and out. Very like a middle American town. Yeah, it is very very. much, but Poland. Yeah, except it has the Port-a-Moran, which, honest to God, looks incredible. Yeah.

There we go. That's the weather. Yeah, all right. That's the weather. All right, let's go to sports. We have so much to talk about. I'm so excited. So much sports. Do the Olympics have been crazy? I know there was that, did we talk about last week the one girl that crashed?

Yes. Did you see the guy who got hit in the nuts doing roughly the same thing. Dude, it is, find the video. You can, as he's coming down the mountain, there's no microphone on him, right? But they're clearly, you know, filming the whole thing. He hits one of the gates right in the dick,

and you hear him literally Wilhelm scream. He goes like, yeah, it's crazy. And then you hear him go like, yo! And he comes down the mountain. Dude, I felt so bad. I was like, oh my God. The commentators are like, he has hit it with his win.

It's crazy. That is, that's, I don't know how you handle that. They're going like 90 miles an hour. That's what I'm saying, dude. I would genuinely, when I got it at the end, I'd be like, get a doctor. Someone needs to take a look at my dick. I'm afraid my balls are gone. Like, I don't know what's going on.

That must have hurt so much. Yeah, that would be terrible. because yeah but like you know the what's your name Lindsay Vaughn crash and she's had like four surgeries and she already needed like a knee replacement

and like some other shit that's like that's insane yeah I felt bad because a lot of the comments online were about how she should never have entered and she should have let someone else take her place but she competed in one to get there

yeah exactly so like you know she beat all the people who could have taken her place. So yeah, it sucks that this happened, but also she did everything she needed to do, so I don't know what the problem is, but everyone's like,

we would have, you know, anyone would have known this would have happened. She shouldn't have done this. It's like, no one knew it was going to happen. You can't, you know, Monday morning quarterback days.

Yeah, it also seemed like she just got caught on the thing. Like it was just bad luck. That would be two people so far that I've seen online. I'm sure many more that we have. haven't seen. Yeah, but I saw the one Italian woman. I remember her name, but she had like a tiger on her helmet for like skiing and she had like an insane crash like 10 or 11 months ago and then she like won. But like the one she had like 11 months ago, she was skiing and she crashed and her leg like

bent the other way. Like it was some crazy shit. I was like, oh my God. Now she's like out there winning again. I was just like here I am over here. Everyone loves that comeback story. And if Vaughn would have come back in one stuff, people have been like, wow. what a hero yeah exactly it's all just what people just armchair quarterback like right it's it's literally the like if you do some cool play people like what a play call and if they fail it they're like dumbest call I've ever seen like you can't win but no that was crazy see like even seeing that going from like 10 months ago her leg like bent the other way now she's winning and I was just like I'm over here like

I'm trying to rehab my hip I'm just like Like, I feel like a 90-year-old. Because I'm just like, I'd like to walk better again. And then here they are, just like 10 months after I shattered my leg and twisted it around. I'm skiing at 90 miles an hour. I'm just like, holy shit. That's, you know, it'd be like if you lost your voice and you couldn't make videos for a while, you would do whatever it took to get your voice back.

You know what I mean? That's true. And that did happen. Yeah. So everyone has their own version of that. That is, you know, some people are doing it the physically fit way, and some people are in a chair being like, what's in this corner of Azarov?

No, yeah, it's, uh, I'm currently in my, that was my voice arc last year. That was all learning about like vocal folds. And then I learned all about the like, and like humming and how that's good for your voice. Uh, and all those things. But now I'm in my tendon art. I just,

you're the worst. anime there ever was. Now I'm in my tendon arc. Like, oh, okay. Pretty much, the best way to strengthen your tendons is isometric holds or eccentric movements. Slow and eccentric movements or isometric holds. So things like doing a calf raise,

but you just stay on your toes for like 30 to 45 seconds and you do that a couple times a week. Or like just holding different positions. That way, you're strengthening the tendons. Because if you, a lot of times people like overwork, like their muscles are like, I'm bicep curling or doing like overhead press and stuff, but you're destroying your joints and tendons. And so you need to take time to actually like help them catch up with what you're doing.

And that's kind of what I've been learning. So, yippee. I mean, that's a good, that's a good lesson to learn, you know. It's about just, you know, not doing too much. Don't do a UK and handle, which is part of the reason I hurt myself was just trying to do too much that I couldn't handle because of instabilities. Wow, why wee Anyway, yeah I also saw I was watching curling That was fun

Dude, like Curling, I'm so excited The world is finally seeing Curling because of Canada Yeah Dude, have you been paying attention to the insanity that is Canadian curling Where it looked like he touched the stone

From cheating or whatever Dude, Not only did the men's team Get accused of cheating Where he like flicks the, he boops the stone the women team has been accused of cheating too. What? I didn't see that. Yes, Canada.

What's going on? You don't need to cheat at curling. That's your thing. Hockey and curling, that's all really, and mooses and maple syrup, that's all you got. You should be breeding people for this. They shouldn't need to cheat. Yeah, they should be like in the lab doing like meugenics.

Yeah, like do I understand or know that the little boop that guy did to it actually does anything, I have no clue. But him saying, I didn't touch it, I didn't touch it, and yelling at the Swedish or Norwegian or whoever the other team was, and yelling and being like, I didn't do it. And then the video, slow-mo shows you doing it is crazy. That's usually when they're the most guilty as well, is when they're like really going like,

what would I do? It's almost like when you're like, I'm not in the Epstein file type of thing. Yeah, like I wouldn't do that. That's not me. do something like that. I don't even know. It's like we all saw, bro. It's like you can't get out of this one.

Yeah, especially now. It's like with like the curly, there's cameras all over. Just anything. There's cameras all over. Like what do you? Literal slow motion shots of it happening, which like if you're going to lie,

like I don't know. And you can see how they were kind of covering it. Like his teammate was trying to stand in the way. Like I don't know, man. I don't know if it was actually going to do anything to change the outcome of that sort of I don't want to say role, but like push, but it did open up the sport to a lot of people, and frankly, I'm here for that.

More curling. I love curling. Yeah. Now we got curlgate. Yeah. Online they were calling it Boop Gate, which I think is very funny. That is pretty funny. Because he was booping it. I was watching figure skating. I don't know if you saw any of it. I did. I did see some of it, but I also was half asleep at the time. So, you know, know, when the music comes on, I'm like, oh, yes. And the judges are like, he just did a triple salkal. I'm like, down.

It's, well, Toastrooman was really into, she loves the figure skating stuff. So then I was watching it. And then I got into it because I was like, well, it was kind of great. Because there's also a lot of drama related to it, too, which I've realized. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, like, there's the French duo. I don't know if you heard about them.

No. Well, apparently. So like, it's one of those things where they're really good, but the, it says, Nikola Sorensen, 36-year-old Danish Canadian ice dancer who's dating Fornier Bodry was banned for the Canadian skating governing body for at least six years for sexual maltreatment related to allegations he assaulted an American coach and former skater. So pretty much, uh, people were like, why is she still with him? and like all this stuff so everyone's like oh yeah screw her but they are very good

at skating it just reminds me the NFL where they're like yeah this guy is domestic abusing but you know he runs real fast and he catches the ball well so we gotta have him on the team yeah yeah all right

yeah okay to be fair they're their skating was really good but I was like no fuck these people then there was the American guy who's like 21 the quad god

I don't know if you saw him I did see quad god yeah that was just I had a feeling something was going to have because I was like just you know being that young and he's like confident like he's the quad god

he never messes up and then as soon as he like messed up it was like uh oh it's over and he started like trying to compensate be like I got to do more to catch up and then he starts falling again And then after the thing was over, he's just like, they should have let me in the last Olympics. I would have been ready for this or something.

I was like, oh, shit. Like he's pissed now. But afterwards, he was just like, yeah, you know, it's, you know, I just got to get better for next time. But you know on the inside, he was just like, shit. So that was crazy. I do like the interviews where it's obvious they're pissed. And they just have to, for the sake of sportsmanship, sit there and be like, no, it's all good. I'm like, oh man, I feel for you.

It's always funny in sports when there's like a coach or something that just breaks that. Like I remember Lou Panello when he was with the Cubs. They're just like, what did you think the team was good? And he's like, what the hell do you think? You'll watch the game. We both watch the game. He's like losing. It's funny when that like breaks down.

Yeah, there's been some crazy Olympic moments out there. So it's been a lot of fun. I've enjoyed these winter Olympics. Yes, me too. Good stuff. Yeah. But then we got basketball. NBA is currently in the All-Star game.

Pistons still in first. And the Thunder's still in first. Yeah, the NBA All-Star stuff kind of just sucks now. Used to be cool. Now it's just bad. In fact, one of the guys in the dunk contest tried to do a dunk, and then he, like, hit the backboard and, like, fell and, like, looked like you got a concussion.

So I was like, that's That seems like the modern NBA All-Star game And then they keep being like Nobody tries during the All-Star game But it is still better than the NFL Pro Bowl It's like the worst one Meanwhile, then we had the NHL Where we have the lightning and the hurricane in first

And we got the avalanche still above and beyond everybody else And then the wild and the stars behind them I don't know when their All-Star game is I think they're still a little bit off But then we had the Super Bowl last week, of course, where the Seahawks beat the Patriots, which I pretty much knew it was going to happen as somebody who watches every week of the NFL. So that was, it was pretty much everything I expected. Patriots had a really easy schedule. They played baby teams all year. Whenever they play a good team, they'd usually lose. And then even in the playoffs, they played like the Chargers who had no offensive line and like Justin Herbert out there just rolling by his own. and then you had

they played the Texans who had the, what's his day? Their defense is insane, but they had CJ Stroud back there. He threw five picks. He was lobbing the ball up. I'm like, dude, take them out. Everyone's like, take them out. And they didn't take them out.

And then the Patriots played the Broncos with a backup quarterback. So, yeah, I expected him to lose. And they did. Anyway, yeah, that Super Bowl was all right. I wanted the Seahawks to win, though, so I was happy.

The commercials suck. Because obviously it was just... The amount of AI bullshit was too high. And, yo, I don't know what ring was thinking being like, we're going to use your ring cameras to monitor people. I was like, that is the craziest waste of a... Like, you idiots.

Don't worry. We're watching everybody through the door. It's like, what are you talking? Like, that's insane thing to do. Like, yeah, guys, don't worry. We will monitor everyone. Like, that's crazy. It just shows how out of touch they are, to be honest.

Absolutely. Yeah, that is some nonsense that money can't buy common sense, man. That was stupid. Yep. And it's like, even if people, even if they might think that or know that, it's like just pointing out the obvious, be like, no, it's like if Amazon Alexa was like, guys, really, we are listening to you. It's like, people expect it, but when you hear them actually say it,

You're like, oh, like that takes it to a whole other level. The funniest part is them making visual effects for it, where it's like your entire community is being watched. Like, that's when you make a whole little scenario and you show it to us on TV and it looks like the scene in a movie where the villain has control over a town. Like that shit's crazy. Old man Johnson's watering his yard again when he's not supposed to. We will take care of it. Yes. Oh, I got, yeah, it was just that.

and then like gambling ads and then AI ads and then ads for AI. It was either ads made by AI or ads for like AI websites and shit. The worst one, hands down the worst one was when they started playing Backstreet Boys. I think it was Backstreet Boys. And then it was a Coinbase ad and I was like, F them, F this whole thing. I hate all of this. This, I was just done. I was like, this sucks.

The Super Bowl is boring as hell. Like, this blows. No, yeah, it was, it was terrible. There's a, there's a couple other ones that were terrible, but that sucked. Oh, as a, as a like, Star Wars fan, I'd no clue what the hell that Star Wars ad was. I was like, what is this advertising? Oh, yeah. I was like, what the shit?

I was like, this is, who made this? Honest to God, I'm convinced AI as executives could make better choices at this point. We're going to have AI. If that's our future, fire all these idiots and put a robot in there. It would clearly make something at least reasonable. We could understand why it was so bad because we're like, well, the AI made it. Dude, that's what I'm saying. That's like if we just had AI CEOs, we would save billions because we wouldn't have to pay the CEOs billions. And we could reinvest it into the companies.

The AI just makes the decisions that make the most sense for the companies based on logistics. We're great. Yeah. CEO bot knows what's up. Yeah. I trust CEO bot more than actual CEOs. Honestly, yeah. They can't be corrupted.

Well, I mean, I guess digitally, but like not emotionally and morally. Yeah, and they work for free. Yeah. I always love those ads too when they're just like, there's some ad. I don't remember who is for. And they're just like, try to give back to your community through Z. I was like, how about you do that? How about you give like half a half billion to the community?

You got it. Every time I go to the grocery store and like, would you like to round up for charity? I was like, you pay for charity. Yeah. What do you mean? I'm just trying to buy groceries. Now you're trying to be like, well, for an extra $5. I'm like, why don't you spend the $5?

You're a multi-billion dollar company. Yeah, pizza shit. So, yeah, anyway, that's like. Oh, that's sports. All right, what is our fact of the day? Fact of the day. Back of the day. Bap, ba-da-da-da-da-da-bap.

Bob, bop, bop. Yo, this one's pretty cool. There's an underwater post office in the South Pacific. That is pretty cool. What do you mean? Why? It says, situated off the coast of Hideaway Island Resort and Marine Sanctuary is the Venatu Post, the world's only undersea post office.

Vacationers who want to send a waterproof postcard can snorkel or scuba pen feet below the ocean surface and a special flag is raised above the water to indicate when postal workers are in the water. That is... Stop! It's real! I'm looking at a photo of it right now. Yes! What the hell?

Yeah. That's kind of fun in like a goofy way? Yeah, that is kind of cool. That must be one of those like as a tourist thing they installed that? Yeah, I think so. It has to be. But it is really cool. That is really neat.

Yeah, it, it, you can go scuba and then you have like a little thing you can do. That's, that's fun. Yeah, that's one of those like absolutely harmless little facts that I'm here for. Yeah. No, I love that. It's just like a fun little thematic type of thing that you're like, you're out in the islands. You go under water post office. Like some like Animal Crossing shit.

If anything, I just today learned about the Republic of Anatu, which is made up of 83 islands. Oh, what? there's a whole place I didn't know existed in the world. Damn. There's a lot of places I don't know exist in the world. Oh, you know why? Because it's in that area of like, it's near Australia,

but in the middle of the ocean. If anything, it's near Fiji. Is the, you know, Fiji and Samoa. Oh, I see. So you go, that's cool fact. That's a fact of the day.

That is very cool fact. Yeah. All right. Who has come to us. with tears in their eyes? Dear illustrious sirs, I come before you with tears in my eyes and bare knees on the ground,

skin scraped off, my blood mixed with the seed of Mother Earth, and I wonder... Damn! All proper Vikings had cool nicknames. Think of Harold Hard Ruler, Eric Blood Axe and Sven Forkbeard. If you were Vikings,

what would your names be, and what did you do to get them? Ooh, man, I wish I had like a good Viking name I feel like I'd be Jesse the Red or some nonsense like that. Oh, but Jesse's a lame Viking name. It'd have to be like, like, Cren works. Because Cren's like Sven. Yeah, that's true.

I didn't, yeah, I'd have to get, I couldn't be called a name. I'd be called like the Red Butcher or something like that. Because if everyone had heard my real Viking name, they'd be like, Jesse. What the hell kind of Viking is that? Yeah, I'd be like Cren the... Cren the... Let's see, that's something I could... Ugh...

Oh, God. I feel like there's nothing cool I've done that would warrant having a cool name is the problem. I don't know. You could be like, uh... Cren the gall-bladderless. I'd be like, man, that guy... That Viking doesn't have a gallbladder. Right?

Yeah, it describes you perfect. Watch out for him. Cren the, like sloth theme, Cren the Cren the Sloth. But that doesn't make sense. That don't know. What's it?

Hold on. Oh, maybe Cren the patient. That actually would probably work. I'm pretty patient. Right? I was about to say Cren the Slow, but I felt like that was rude. Yeah, well, yeah.

I can see that. That's not like a super Viking name. Like, yeah, the blood cracker and the patient. But I guess it could be. Hold on. Is there a Viking name generator? Yeah, okay. Here we go.

Okay. And first letter of your first name? E or C. I guess it depends, which I'm going. Just do C for thematic purposes. All right. So far, you would be, good God, you would, the screen just changing

I got an ad Oh boy You would be Uh If it's If it's E blood axe If it's C iron side Damn those are both cool

I like Crenn iron side That's bossy That is I like that And that implies some sort of patience Like the patience of iron Right That's kind of

Yes Yeah yeah yeah yeah I like that I like mine because No matter what I'm Jesse the unwashed. So there you go. I can't even be cool in this scenario.

Jesse the unwashed. The unwashed. Cool, man. Great. Cool. Although if it's C, I'm also Ironside. If I use my last name. Oh, that's true.

Yeah. There you go. And if you use your last name, technically you could also be troll-burster. Oh, shit. Why do yours rule? I might have to be troll-burster. Troll-burster rocks, dude.

That is sick. I love that. Yeah, it's definitely troll-burster now. All right, here we go. Next, Dear Lustria, sir is, Dear Lusory of Surs, I come to you with tears of my eyes and my mouth full of sweet, sweet cheddar, I ask of you, would you rather be the country mouse or the city mouse?

The country mouse lives a peaceful life, but doesn't get to enjoy good food, like the city mouse does. The city mouse can get all kinds of delicious food, but is constantly in danger of getting killed by a cat or human. This is one of the Aesop's fables. Uh, based on that scenario,

I'd rather be a country mouse. But I feel like the country mouse has to watch out for like owls and shit. That's true too. I feel like you're always on different. You didn't bring up the owls. There's no owls in the city mouse thing. I guess in this. scenario the country mouse would just have no threats.

Yes, then I would be a country mouse. I want to live a quiet country mouse life. But what about a suburban mouse? That's the best of both worlds. You can like drive into the city in his little mouse car whenever he wants. Yeah. No, that's definitely the best of both worlds, the suburban house. That's the best one. That's what I'd be. Yeah. The suburban mouse gets to buy a home and own it. Yeah. These are and then drive into the city where it's really expensive but he gets a nice meal and then he can drive out before the humans and or cats find it.

Exactly. Take that, Aesop. What an idiot. These are the Crencox fables. Yep. Cren, the troll-burster. Yeah, the troll-burster fables. And that's the dear Lesterousers.

Okay, what is our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day. Day, day. Day. So I saw three stories, settled on one, but I wanted to mention the others. One is the athletes were given 10,000 free condoms at the Olympics. They disappeared in three days, which I believe we discussed in the previous Olympics. Every Olympics, there's a wild sex fest.

I get it. A bunch of hot athletes. If anything, I truly believe it's people just hoarding them. That's probably true as well, yeah. There's no way 10,000 sexes happen in that little time. That's too many sexes. That's too many sexes. So much sexing.

The other one sounded like a Cholumani article. So I wanted to mention it. Okay. It just says, Jesus was a psychedelic mushroom. A controversial theory suggests, could it reshape Christianity forever? Wait a minute.

What? Yeah, here you go. Jesus was a psychic. First off, the fact that's on popular mechanics is really funny. It is. This is like a full-eyes article. Here's the thing. Jesus was a psychedelic

mushroom. Seems crazy. Never mind. I can't even look at it. You already even look at the article. It costs $49 a year. Cool man. Never mind.

I'll never know whether Jesus. Because in my mind, I'm like, oh, maybe Jesus took mushrooms. No, this says Jesus was a mushroom. He literally was. That's probably something someone on mushrooms wrote. That probably is, yeah. they probably ate the dead sea scrolls.

It's like, I know it now. I know what he was. But we have Raising Cains files lawsuit as landlord tries to evict them for chicken smell. All right, I'm going to allow you to say what this is, but on basis of headline alone, it seems ludicrous. Yeah. A Boston landlord is nothing to evict a Raising Cain's restaurant

in the city's back bay. neighborhood over the complaints that the locations smells like chicken finger, or the location smells like chicken fingers. The filing enters the Raising Cain's Outpost, which opened in 2022 on Boylston Street inside a roughly 100-year-old building and holds a lease running through 2037. The chain says new second floor office tenants in the property raise concerns about what they described as an

offensive odor, prompting the landlord to threaten termination of the lease. Quote. Wait, so people moved in above a chicken restaurant and were upset. It smells like chicken. Yes. Although maybe they were there before they moved in. That's the only thing I can think of because otherwise you would have to figure that out, right?

I don't know. Despite these. Dude, okay, hold on, hold, hold, hold the phone. Hold the phone. This is so funny. all right so I see the Raising Cains you're talking about

but even funnier is right next door to it is Atlantic Fish Company you're just getting the hit from both sides yeah dude that's like okay man that's oh yeah there it is it is kind of

yeah I guess you're just are they like living up there above it If it's an office, like, I don't know. The thing is, is now it's so funny because of all the different things, you know, because it's the map on Google Maps, you can see who's there. The people complaining are either the Verizon store, Swingers, Back Bay, or 745 studios. If I had the guess, I'd say it's 745 studios. quote, despite these efforts, defendants continue to complain that the tenant's chicken finger restaurant smells like chicken fingers. The company said in its lawsuit, in reality, it appears that the defendant has come to the realization that its own buildout of the second floor office space was poorly executed.

That's what it is. It should be taken up with the owner of the property. Yeah. Landlord denies comment as least dispute escalates. The landlord is listed in court records as 775 Boysland LLC, which CBS Boston reports, is affiliated with health properties, and health told WBZ TV it had no comment on the lawsuit. Raising Kane says that it has spent more than $200,000 attempting to reduce odor issues inside the building, but claims it was informed in January that its lease would be terminated over what the landlord described as offensive or nuisance odors. I can't say nuisance. Sure. Uh-huh.

Sure. Nuisance. There we go. I did it. The lawsuit also alleges the landlord attempted to pressure raising canes into waiving a lease provision that grants the chain exclusivity

is the building's exclusive chicken restaurant. Which is crazy because on that street, there is like literally a chick-fil-a right down the block. Yeah. Like there are so many different chicken restaurants on this street alone. Yeah, that is... There's a Gordon Ramsey place across the street.

That's so funny. Yeah, that is funny. Raising Keynes further claims, the landlord has been negotiating with Panda Express over the space next to the Boysland Street location that was previously occupied by Starbucks. CBS Boston has noted Panda Express already operates another Boston location inside Boston University's student union.

The chicken finger chain currently operates multiple locations in the city, including restaurants near Boston University, in Commonwealth Avenue and close to downtown crossing. But this isn't the first time a restaurant has faced issues from its landlord due to odor complaints either. Back in December, an Indian restaurant suddenly had locks changed and least

terminated by the property manager. Okay, looking at this building from a street view, it looks like every other old-ass building in Boston. There's no way you could tell me that having a chicken restaurant on the first floor wouldn't, like, exhaust and stuff alone.

there's two floors above it. Yeah. Surely it would stink. That's like saying like for years I said I wanted to move in above a bar because I like the idea of going down to the bar, getting a drink and going. I accept that that would be noisy as shit. Yeah. But I'm fine with noise.

I don't care. Right? Yeah. With that said, and that is insane. You mentioned Raisin Cain's and how there's one near Boston, like the universities and stuff. Crendor, I've been to that one. I'm going to try and send you this. All right.

The interior of it is gold. Pure, complete gold. What the hell? The walls, gold floor. I've been in there. It is a gaudy nightmare. Incredible. I can't believe it exists.

This is insane. There's gold wallpaper, gold chairs, gold everything. I don't know what the design choice was there, but it is hilarious. This is crazy. Yeah, it's like literally all gold. Like, it isn't, it isn't even like, oh, well, you know, the gold on the, the walls. Oh, it's chairs, walls, floors, the outside, everything gold. Oh my God.

Yeah, even, like, the only thing that is in gold is like the raising canes on the wall, the red logo. Yes. Yeah. It's crazy. I, uh, I had to go inside. I was like, I got it. I got it. What is going on in there?

Yeah. Damn. That's a cool one at least. Boston Raising Cains. It's problematic. Yeah. That's the new story of the day. All right.
