Let's jump to this podcast. Hello, everybody. It's time for Cawson Crendong. This is Crendong in the morning. In the morning. Live, live, live, live, live. In 4-hour reporting studio, recording.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Recording. Wake your ass up. It's up next, Brendan at the morning. Hello, everybody likes that in the episode of gags and Granddard are in the morning. Oh, it's exciting time. So exciting. The most. The most exciting time of the week.
Starting point is 00:00:59 Everybody's here. Everybody's ready for a fun podcast. They're ready to waste their time. They're ready to forget about their problems. You know what? If that's the service we can provide, I'm so pleased. I don't, I feel like that's too much, but, you know, we'll try. We'll try.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Yeah. I mean, isn't any form of media kind of just there to forget about your problems? I would like to think so, but sometimes media is made to make you definitely remember your problems. You know, that's also true. Yeah, I guess it depends. Yeah, I've had a lot of people be like, dude, I haven't listened to Cox and Crendor for a while. It's been weeks. Or like, I haven't listened since like episode 487.
Starting point is 00:01:41 I'm just like, now's the time. Jump back in. That's so funny that I haven't listened since 487 and we're like on 502. So it's really not that long, but it kind of is. You know, we've done so many and it's weeks. So that could be like sometime last year. Yeah. I mean, I honestly have no idea.
Starting point is 00:01:58 It's, in fact, 47. Let me see. I can... 487, I'm going to guess fall 2025. Okay. You would be correct. Guess what, okay, guess the date, guess the date? 487.
Starting point is 00:02:16 I'm going to say September, some September weekend. I don't know. All right, you are incorrect. August? It was November. Wow. We do a lot of episodes. Yeah, November 23rd.
Starting point is 00:02:31 It was Thanksgiving's time. I guess I could have just mathed it and been like, you know, 502 minus 487 and kind of figured out how many weeks back. But I didn't. I took a wild guess. And I appreciate that. Thank you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:49 It was dire duplicity. It's got a, what's his name up there? Neil Breen. Neil Breen? New movie on. On the way, I'm so excited. I can't wait to watch that. It'll be fun whenever he releases it. Yeah, when he's ready.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Yeah, when he's ready, let him work his magic. But you said you got stories. What stories happened to you today? Well, first off, I assume you went out with the family, did a little Easter thing. Yeah, we went to my parents. We had some, they made food. So we went there. We ate the food. And that was really it. I played my dad in chess. That's fun. We should play chess because he likes playing chess.
Starting point is 00:03:34 We played chess. That's good. I went out with my parents today to a lovely restaurant here in the city. And it was very nice. You know, it was your normal sort of brunch situation. However, dude, L.A. sometimes is a trip. And so imagine kind of a packed brunch restaurant. and in walks this woman with her child.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Now when I, this is not an exaggeration, this is not a joke, this is really what she was wearing. All right. Do you know that virgin killer sweater? The one that has like no back and like definitely show side boob and like is very tight. Like that. Yeah. Okay. That's what she was wearing.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Oh my God. And she had a lot of work done, very L.A. She had like big fake tits, like the big lips, the plastic surgery face that, you know, that's that kind of like. Yeah. Yes, the whole thing. She walked him with this little boy. I'm going to say maybe the boy was eight or nine. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:45 And she's clearly waiting for someone to show up. But unfortunately for her, where I was sitting, I direct angle on that side boob. And I couldn't look away, Crendor. It was just like right there. And I couldn't look away. And I'm just facing it. So the only way to look away was to turn and face my dad. But my dad clearly saw, because he gave me just look like, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I was like, dude, I don't even know. My poor mother was just oblivious sitting there drinking. And I did realize in that moment that like a truism of life is that it doesn't really matter what's going on with the rest of you, your face, your body, whatever. If you got a nice rack, you're going to be always. You're going to be all right. It's like it was, I couldn't look away. And neither could anyone else in the restaurant. And I was like, I can't.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Oh, boy, I got to focus on my food. So I'm trying my hardest eat this damn food and focus on it. Eventually, her husband, I guess, comes in. And when I say, he must be rich. He must be rich. Because this was the doiest looking goober I've ever seen my entire life. Like,
Starting point is 00:06:00 a man without character. I don't know, like, I've never, like a pure NP, like he had, there was nothing happening there. Like,
Starting point is 00:06:12 he's just the, like a plain dude. Yes. Not like, um, stylish or not like sexy or not even the opposite end of like big fat slob.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Like, No, no, no. Completely devoid of anything, just a, a, like, dough of white meat. I don't know how to describe this, man. He was just so weird. And he brought in a daughter. The daughter was dressed up in a princess outfit, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:06:46 And from the moment they walked in, until the moment we left, this little girl was screaming at the top of her lungs that she wanted to go to the beach. She would not stop. She was like, I want to get on my! Like loudly, dude. And so now everyone's looking at them. And people can't not look at them. But then I see everyone also checking out this woman who is just showing everything off, basically. With her case, it was just the craziest thing.
Starting point is 00:07:16 We're sitting there. There's an Easter, dude. An Easter buddy goes around, right? And the Easter, I took some photos. I put them online for people to look at of my parents with the Easter Bunny. But the Easter Bunny, when he goes to that table, does like a double take of the woman. Because, again, she's just, it's hanging out. And I saw the Easter Monday go like, what?
Starting point is 00:07:37 It was so funny. And the husband is not even trying to manage these kids. At one point, the girl's like, I'm going to go to the beach. She's like, fine, go. I was like, what? What the hell? dude it was so crazy everyone was looking
Starting point is 00:07:55 I could tell my mom and dad were getting annoyed and my dad even had this thing of like you know when you're a parent you have to learn patience but I would and I'm like oh that's this is why I don't want to be a parent dad but there was this group
Starting point is 00:08:10 in the corner and it was this family the entire time you could tell they were like getting ready to stand up and yell because this wasn't just a bad kid this is a kid standing on a chair screaming I want to go to the beach the entire time. Yeah, it's one thing if it's like for a minute or two,
Starting point is 00:08:27 but it's another. It was like 35 minutes. It was nonstop and not like, you know, whimpering or whining. I'm talking full on screaming. Meanwhile, the wife and the husband were just eating their food, ignoring her. That's honestly, like, that's probably what they do all the time, but it makes it worse when they're making it your problem. as well. Yeah. Meanwhile, the boy, I've never seen a more checked out kid. I assume he deals with
Starting point is 00:08:58 all of this all the time. They gave him an iPad to like watch like Roblox or whatever on. He didn't even use it. He just laid in the chair and looked off in the distance. Like he was broken. I was like my dude, I get it. If that was my sister and those are my parents, I too would be this way. He, I mean, yeah, he probably is used to it. And he's just like, here we go again. Yep. Yep. It was crazy. The man on the corner, I took some more photos of his signs.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Signs. All right. Yes. And again, it's not that he doesn't do one sign. The man does multiple signs. I'm going to text you this one. It says, a sound mine, even vape taints jeans, still. Can try heal matters DNA?
Starting point is 00:09:56 Cheat drug test. Lung rot pot toxic blood. You also forget the heart you love God. Oh, my bad. Also, out freak. This doesn't make sense. Out arrow, freak, arrow, mind. Out freak mind.
Starting point is 00:10:17 But yeah, they have arrows. So it's like a process. I guess. It's like mind freak, but not. Yeah. I'm losing my mind that the very bottom, it says Eagles, so real. Yeah, Eagles, so real. At least I think it's Eagles.
Starting point is 00:10:35 It could be, it's getting covered up. Yeah, something the long run. Yeah, the long run. Pro at music, his body's covering half of it, unfortunately. Yeah. Forgive. Is that for, forgive? Well, it looks not like an A.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Though, oh, forgot. Flames out. News at. Atria. Atria. Like, again, it is, um, and please, since you can see the guy, it's just a dude. Like, he's got like a button up on and jeans and like a hoodie. A hoodie with cars.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Like, again, I've said it before. It's not like your typical street crazy guy. This is just a dude who I think is trying to say something, but can't articulate it properly. Maybe we just can't understand his articulation, but in his mind, he is articulating it properly. Yes. Oh, I have seen and talked to this man. He is as average Joe as it gets. I just think something broke in him, and he's like, I have to tell the world.
Starting point is 00:11:50 I have to tell the world all this. And it all has to be on exactly four signs. crammed together in a way that makes no sense anyone but me. It's like, okay. Even vape taints jeans, you know? Even vape taints jeans. It sounds like something RFK Jr would say. Even the vape tames.
Starting point is 00:12:12 It's the jeans, the vapes tainting the jeans, but you're red 40. The kids are vaping red 40. No. I must stress, it's been a, It's been an interesting couple days here. It's a lot going on in L.A. baby. You think... I'm curious.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Do you think the people at the place, the Easter place, right? Do you think if they saw this sign, I'm curious if they would like even acknowledge it or if they would just like move about their lives? Because I always find that interesting that there's people that'll see shit like this. and just be like, oh, whatever,
Starting point is 00:12:57 and just like completely ignore it. And I'm just like, what? Like, this is crazy, man. Like, you're missing out. I think they would take offense. So, Doey, human person, he was secretly trying to vape while in the restaurant. What?
Starting point is 00:13:14 Yeah, they were next to a window, and so he was, like, hiding himself and he'd vape, and then a puff of smoke would appear. Did he know vape paints jeans? I don't think he did, And I think if we told him he'd get upset about that. I think he would confront that man and be like, how dare you? My vaping offends, no one.
Starting point is 00:13:33 I don't even know. Does like vape, like vape smoke actually, is it like secondhand smoke, but just like more fun and flavorful? Or does it actually not do anything? I don't know. I don't think it's like smoke smoke. I think it's vapor. But I also don't know. I just know that restaurants and stuff are like, please don't do that.
Starting point is 00:13:54 people still do it because it's not smoke. If that makes any sense. Yeah, no, I see. Because I was just curious, I was like, yeah, it's kind of like secondhand smoke, but it's secondhand vape, but like, is that going to do the same thing? Because, like, whenever people vape, it always smells like Starburst or some shit, too,
Starting point is 00:14:09 so you're like, okay, like whatever. At least it smells good. It's a mist. So according to the internet, it is a mist created by heating liquid, the juice, right? And so it's not water vapor. It contains nicotine.
Starting point is 00:14:24 chemicals, et cetera, et cetera. But it's not smoke. Okay. So it's probably not as bad as second hand smoke. It might still be bad but it's probably not. Right, right, right. Yeah. According to the Cleveland Clinic, it's not as bad as smoke smoke, but still not great. Like you shouldn't just be,
Starting point is 00:14:48 you know, like with all smoking everything. Yeah. Adding weird shit to your lungs that isn't supposed to, to be there's not great. Yeah. No, that makes sense. I think that's I've always wondered that too
Starting point is 00:15:03 because the more I thought about it I was like, oh yeah, it's just like they're vaping, it's vapor or whatever. I was like, is this like, have shit in it that I'm not supposed to be breathing it? Yeah, I mean, it has all the same like cancer causing crap that cigarettes have.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Yes. Interesting. Okay. Except I imagine it doesn't have some of the like tar stuff, you know? I wonder that guy seemed like he was
Starting point is 00:15:30 a corporate guy. No. Oh, no, no, no. No. Nothing about it. Honestly, if I had to guess, I would say streamer. Damn, okay. Maybe he is a streamer. Maybe he is, dude. That would be like one guess. There's nothing about him that said corporate. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:15:47 That's weird. Yeah. And again, I don't know that a corporate guy would have, and I'm going to, I'm going to say, even though, you know, I was looking, she was pretty performative his wife. Like she dressed up like that on purpose. She was, you know, you know, it was Easter.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Why are you going out like that? Unless you want people to be like, oh, yeah, no. That's definitely like some, maybe they're, that's like a weird relationship too. Maybe, dude, what if, okay, cycle analyzing. It could mean absolutely nothing. But what? If she's trying to get attention from him because he doesn't give her attention,
Starting point is 00:16:27 he's just like doing his own like normal thing, like whatever. Maybe, maybe because at one point, she got up to go take the girl to the bathroom and he immediately jumped on his phone and started talking to someone. Immediately. Okay. That's that's always weird. Very.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Yes. Because normally people are just like, all right. And then they just chill and they're like, especially if like, because the, his son was there too, right? Oh, I was just about to say that. He jumped on the phone and started talking to someone and his son was still sitting there looking like he was disassociating. Yes. Yeah, that's.
Starting point is 00:17:03 He could have sat there and talked to his son. Yeah, like, you know, had bonding time with the kid, did not at all. Yeah, that's, that's a bad sign. That's a red flag right there. Yeah. Yep. Oh, no, the whole thing was red flags. All the way down red flags.
Starting point is 00:17:21 But yeah, I mean, you know, it's L.A. So people are going to, you're always going to see people like this. It's just, you know, a weird vibe for 1130 on a Sunday at an Easter brunch. Yeah. It's like a almost like they're obligated. Like we got to go out to brunch. It's like, all right. But clearly there's like some family dynamics that are broken there.
Starting point is 00:17:51 I mean, as far as I can tell, the dynamic was, you know, probably streamer guy with his hot girlfriend wife. And that's it. And they have kids, but like, you know, we have them because society says we have to, not that we love them. Like, that's the vibe I got, dude. That's, I'm curious if he, that would be crazy if he actually is a streamer YouTuber. I, nothing else makes sense. And that's me saying it, knowing a lot of. of streamers. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:18:22 Like knowing streamers and knowing how streamers look like this guy had the vibe of like I stream Valorant. You know what I mean? Like he has that vibe. How old was he? I don't know. They both looked I don't know, 30s maybe. I was thinking they were like
Starting point is 00:18:41 late 40s or something. No, they were in their 30s at least from what I could tell. He seemed pretty young. She, I couldn't really tell because she had so much work done in her face that it wasn't possible to tell. Yeah. She, I mean, it's L.A. You're going to see a lot of those. Yeah, I just don't.
Starting point is 00:19:02 I'll never understand like the whole, like I can understand getting a nose job or maybe you get lip fillers or like I can understand doing one thing. You know what I mean? Like there's one thing about my face I want to change. But the whole face always blows my mind. I think a lot of it, they do one thing and then it it's like snowballs into more and more. Yeah. Oh, that's absolutely what it is.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Yeah. Yeah, because you can, you probably get like a body dysmorphia type of thing at that point. I'm just like, well, this isn't perfect. I need to fix it. This isn't right. I need to fix it. Right?
Starting point is 00:19:35 You can just do that with everything. Especially if you have the money, right? It's one of those like, I have a ton of money so I'm not limited in what I can do to myself. And, yeah, you know, it's one of those times we're not having the money probably would save you a lot of trouble. Yeah, definitely would. With that said, though, who has a lot of, worked under tits, that man's a hero.
Starting point is 00:19:55 That's a quote to put in there for episode 6-100. The facial surgery is whatever, but the rest of it, good work, surgeons, nailed it. Yeah. Again, the Easter Bunny did a double take. I've never said anything like that in my life. That was so funny. He just like, hey, Mr. Easter Bunny, he's just like, oh, he's like, what the hell?
Starting point is 00:20:19 He honestly literally just did a Walked over Did a whole like I'm the Easterbody kids And then just you can see the Easter buddy Whoever was in the costume He just like looked at her And then like looked again It was like whoa
Starting point is 00:20:35 A lot was hanging out is what I'm saying A lot dude The amount of like side and underboob showing Was too high It was too hot That is yeah that's uh that's definitely a thing I don't even care what people wear you can wear whatever you want
Starting point is 00:20:53 but it is kind of weird when they're doing that on Easter with their family and shit that's what I'm saying it's I don't like look frankly I think more people should wear that outfit to be honest I would be fine with it it just was a jarring experience to have at like an Easter brunch where there's kids everywhere and like an Easter book
Starting point is 00:21:12 it was wild that is Man, that's L.A. Yeah, that's L.A. I was going to say, how was your Pax? Because you weren't, I didn't hear about your Pax because I was, I got to do the, I took your place on the geekenders as people. You did, you did. Pax was great.
Starting point is 00:21:37 I had a lovely time. I now want to play Warframe more than ever. I was at a Warframe party. I went to the Hell Divers Party. that was fun. Very, it was the Liberty Party and it was at the like, you know, where they dumped the tea in the harbor.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Very cute stuff. Yeah. But, for the most part, I went around and, like, hung out with people and saw friends that haven't seen in a while. The two big things I did a signing were everyone that I met, almost everyone was like,
Starting point is 00:22:12 Jesse, how do I get into YouTube or Twitch, which is why I made that one tool for this, because it was just a lot of people were curious. I was like, guys, don't ask me. I don't know how to help you. And then I entered into a competition for like the streamer all-stars competition at Pax. Dude.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Streamer All-Stars? Oh, yes. It was myself, Emmy Amazonian, like just a whole bunch of incredible people. I'm trying to think of like who you make, do you know who Maisie Lynn is? She's like a very popular TikTok person Like just a bunch of people are there Right?
Starting point is 00:22:50 I do not And so there are eight of us I don't know many people Understood There are eight of us Who were part of this And it was basically You're trying to get as many points as possible
Starting point is 00:23:01 Whoever at the most points in the end Made it to the final round, right? So they start us doing All sorts of different little mini games And fun activities Many of them were outrageous So one example is we played Family Feud. By the way, this lasted for five hours.
Starting point is 00:23:16 What? Yeah, it was all day Thursday. I didn't see one game. I went there, did this, and then left for the day, and went out and got dinner with Amy Amazonian. But like, literally all day. And so, you know, one of the things was Family Feud. And hilariously, they did a thing that was like,
Starting point is 00:23:38 we asked 100 people at Pax, what is the ugliest starter Pokemon? And these insane bastards at number one had Balbazor. I almost burnt the entire facility down. I was like, how dare you? Balbosaur, what? Yeah, that's what I'm saying, dude? That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Yeah, thankfully I keyed in on how everyone it packs is a monster. So I was getting points. I was like, Toto Dile. And Toto Dio was up there. I was like, how dare you? I love Toto. Anyway. Tododial.
Starting point is 00:24:06 What are these people doing? That's what I'm saying, dude. but also at the same time I realized they're probably older because as we were going through this one of the things was we asked 100 people what your comfort TV show to watch was and one two and three
Starting point is 00:24:22 I was thinking okay packs gotta think nerdy got to think like younger I said Adventure Time was one of them I tried to like think of what it could be the Simpsons I don't think was even one of them there was a lot we were like what
Starting point is 00:24:37 one, two, and three were Seinfeld friends in the office. And I realized in that moment, everyone that questioned was over 35. Yeah. I was like, that's why they said Balbazar because they only knew Gen 1. Yeah, but even I know Gen 1, I can think of some other ones that would make better. But if the starters, there's only three, right? And Gen 1. Yeah, I guess that's true.
Starting point is 00:25:04 So you have to pick, you know, of the three, they said Bulbazard. bizarre was the ugliest. And so I was like, oh, okay. So we're dealing with older people. So once I figured that out, I started to like get some points and felt pretty good. But eventually we ended up doing like jeopardy and all these different things. Anyway, when it came down to the finals, we had a final jeopardy round. And so we were all split up into different groups. And my group was very, very close in our competition stuff where I had 5,600 points. And then the next closest person, I think Abdullah had like 4,000.
Starting point is 00:25:37 something. Anyway, Amy's group, Amy had almost 11,000 points and the rest had 2,000 to the point where someone asked, are all the other buzzers broken? And one of the girls goes, no, I'm just stupid. It was very funny, but like also Amy dominated. So the final Jeopardy round is myself at 5,600, Amy at like almost 11K. And then I think. I think it was Abdullah, and I'm trying to remember who the other person was. It's going to drive me crazy. But they weren't really in it. It was just really between Amy and I.
Starting point is 00:26:15 And so they were like, okay, you have to wager points, and whoever, you know, is the top two, goes on to the final. And all I had to do was just stay in it, right? Mm-hmm. And so Amy, not one to lose points, wagers 67 for the goof. and then the other two are literally doing math calculations to figure out how much they can because basically if you lost points
Starting point is 00:26:41 you would drop in rank so if I wager everything and I lose everything I become eighth place now instead of second place oh okay and so because
Starting point is 00:26:57 that's who I am I was like I'm wagering everything I don't even care I'm wagering everything right So in that, they clearly didn't do their research because the final jeopardy question was geography. And as a former high school history teacher, I was like, okay. And I tried to be like real calm and chill. And the last thing they had us do was in 60 seconds we had to name, you know, like a certain number of, I think is you had to at least seven, maybe it was 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:27:31 It's whatever because we had to name at least seven European countries on a map correctly. I got 12 and I felt really good. And I think the next closest part, like everyone else stopped at like seven or whatever. And I just like kept going. I just kept doing it. Time runs out. I wagered all my points. Now I'm in first place.
Starting point is 00:27:53 And I'm like, well, all right. So then Amy and I go into the final, which is this Tetris thing we had to do where it's on a balancing beam. And you have to balance the Tetris stuff. And whenever it falls over, whoever knocks it over loses, right? Right. So Amy and I are trying so hard to screw the other person that eventually we build a pyramid. So there's nowhere to put your pieces. So they have to make a rule that we can slide it into the middle.
Starting point is 00:28:18 And then eventually Amy slides into the middle and falls over. And I won. And at the end, they're like, Jesse, you won? What do you have to say? And I literally was like, on March 3rd, 2026, I tweeted that I was going to form a survivor like alliance with Amy Amazonian, get to the final two, and then betray her and win. I've done that. I was like, I called my shot. Here I am. And yeah, it was great. I literally predicted the entire thing, won it, got a very cool trophy. And yeah, I will say the trophy,
Starting point is 00:28:54 I don't know what happened before they put it out on that stage, but it was so banged up. Like the stand was all beat up. The trophy itself was dented. I was like, this is the perfect trophy for me. It's exactly what I need. That's, there really is the ultimate trophy. More people should do that.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Yeah, the trophy was like all beat up. Meanwhile, everyone else got a medal and their medals were very cute looking, like very official. And my trophy looks like it has seen better days. Like it's been used before in the past. It was so funny. That's a,
Starting point is 00:29:29 I feel like all the time they make these types of shows where they put like streamers and YouTubers like on a panel. There's like there's always like some janky-ass shit that goes on. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, I think it's... Like a bunch of people don't really know much about YouTube and streaming like try to put it together. And they're like, this seems like a fun thing. We'll have them do an obstacle course or some shit. And it's like, what?
Starting point is 00:29:53 I mean, it is interesting that we didn't play any games really. We did some cool stuff that was very game-oriented that I loved Like there was one game where we had to They would It was like one of those Slowly revealing images things So it would be like a level from a game And it would slowly pan out from like one pixel
Starting point is 00:30:15 And so you had to guess it Like that I loved Some of them were you know Very fun But for the most part it was just Goofery without gaming Which I'm fine with if it was just games, I would have lost, for sure.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Everyone up on that stage was like 22. I was like, how many get my ass kicked by these kids. But it wasn't that at all. It was like brain activities. And I was like, oh, all right. I have that over them because they're all young. And I guarantee this is their first job. And they aren't like, you know, graduate students or whatever.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Yeah. No, like they're all brainrotted. They don't have the power. Which Amy, the reason why Amy dominated. much is because Amy is like a genuine smart-ass person. Hmm. Her whole thing is like, I do Magic the Gathering and I make videos on how to like make the best this and that and like she has a background and like being smart.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Yeah, you have to be smart for that type of thing. And so watching her abs, again, the girl dominated her round. 10, almost 11,000 points. And no one else was even close. I felt bad. I was like, oh my God. Yeah, it's honestly like a lot of those games like magic or
Starting point is 00:31:35 even like Warhammer like one of my friends is like insane the amount of statistics he can do in like seconds. So I'll just be like, okay, I'm gonna attack this and he'll just calculate like that's 10 or guys, but if you do like three attacks each twos by threes, you're doing
Starting point is 00:31:51 re-rolls, you do that. That's like 42%. And then I guess this is worth doing and I'm just like, bro, what the What did you just do? That's why I suck at all those games. That's why I don't play. I don't actively play magic, even though I love it. I don't play like Harsstone or any of the other card games.
Starting point is 00:32:06 I don't play war. All of that stuff is about synergies and mathing. And the good people are like PhD level geniuses. Yeah. And they will stomp you because they know all the possible outcomes. And they have thought about like card orders. And people would always yell at me. because I would just play cards that I thought would be fun while I was playing Harstone.
Starting point is 00:32:30 And they'd be like, you're doing it wrong. And I'm like, but that card look cool. They're like, no, no, no. If you play this and this and this and this, then you would have had a super synergy. I'm like, my brain didn't even process that that was a thing I could have done. Yeah, it's, but honestly, it's kind of fun when you do that type of thing and it does work. That's what I live for. I live for doing those things.
Starting point is 00:32:51 And every once in a while, they actually do work. Then you're like, what the shit? That's crazy. It's great. Yeah, look, I get it. I, uh, man, what was, I was playing some magic thing at Pax. Uh, oh, there was a, there was a, uh, so goofy. There was a Red Bull Inn, like, uh, like, it was Red Bull made what basically was like an old fantasy inn.
Starting point is 00:33:18 But all the drinks inside were like Red Bull Punch and stuff. And in order to get in, you had to do these card game challenges. So basically you would sit at a table, you play car games, you drink Red Bull like a crazy person. And it was fun. But yeah, I played a bunch of people that clearly knew how to play these games. And watching them do the synergies was half the fun. Because I was getting stomped. But I was watching them be like, I'm going to play this, and then I'm going to play this, and then I'm going to play this.
Starting point is 00:33:45 And then I'm going to play this. I'm like, oh my God, okay. And they're like, I've been saving those for quite some time. It's like, okay, cool. Yeah, that's... I don't know. I mean, it seems like it was all still fun, though, at least. You had a good time.
Starting point is 00:34:01 I had a great time. I love Pax. You know, the real reason they had a great time is because I was there Thursday, Friday, and left Saturday. I left Saturday morning. Two days of Pax is exactly the right amount. Yeah. No, that sounds about right, especially nowadays. Yeah, like, I couldn't have done Saturday and Sunday.
Starting point is 00:34:19 I just couldn't have. Plus, considering the weekends when it gets real crazy, no, I'm all right. I also was worried about getting sick Dude, the flight home I was so stressed Everyone on my flight was coughing Everyone Dude, that's the worst But you're just like
Starting point is 00:34:34 Especially like even anywhere Just like you're staying around Someone's just like Bluh Yes dude I'm sitting in the terminal And there's a woman across from me Is just coughing constantly
Starting point is 00:34:45 The guy next to me is coughing constantly The guy next to me is coughing I get on the plane The two people behind me are coughing I was just like Like try my hardest not to freak out because I was like, you're not going to get sick, Jesse, you're fine. And I did not get sick, I will say.
Starting point is 00:35:01 That is good. But I do OD on vitamin C and stuff. I think we already looked it up, though. Vitamin C doesn't let you help you with that. Yeah, I know. I'm aware. It doesn't matter. I still do it.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Honestly, the placebo effect of thinking it's working might make you feel better and reduce your stress levels, which would then in return actually help you not get sick. Yeah. You know, yes, probably. I will Oh dude Wow was on the plane
Starting point is 00:35:29 Oh my God So first off Shout out to Denzel Washington And the Equalizer series I didn't know how I could Not expect the shout out the Denzel Washington You got a shout out Denzel every once in a while
Starting point is 00:35:40 Yeah And have you seen the Equalizer One, two or three? No Okay Imagine premise wise Denzel is an ex-CIA I think
Starting point is 00:35:52 Some sort of operative Who lives a normal life now but he equalizes the universe when like there's bad stuff going on he has to act he has to take out those bad guys and it's like hell yeah denzil so the newest one i think they're making a fourth one too which is so funny but the newest one equalizer three it's like older denzel he goes to italy to do a thing that's kind of related to a previous movie i won't get into the plot all i'll say is when the movie starts so i'm sitting in this row and there's a woman next to me and we're kind of you know the plane's taking off I turn on the movie when this movie starts it's like a beautiful Italian countryside this villa there's like an old Italian man
Starting point is 00:36:37 and his grandson right and it looks very like period piece movie she is doing that thing where people just will look at your screen when they're saying next to you on a plane so she's looking at my screen next thing you know it goes into this villa this house and it's just decapitated body bloody murder everywhere one guy's a knife in his gut there's like two guys shot in the face right and it goes through and the woman next to me goes like oh she closes her eyes and looks away and the next thing she does she turns on her her like tv in the plane and plays the zootopia two movie she was like i can't look I'd have to watch Zootopia.
Starting point is 00:37:28 It was great. It was great. Now, I will say, just the other week, me and Tost Roman, did watch Zootopia too, and it was actually a solid movie. I believe that. I wouldn't doubt that one bit. I just found it funny that she was, like, so upset that this movie that kind of looked like a fun romp through Italy was Denzel Washington murdering people over and over and over again. That is actually pretty funny. And I must stress.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Denzel Washington murdering people's great because he like does character things. So I don't know if this is just his character or Denzel was like this would be cool. But every time he kills anyone, he literally kneels out and looks in their eyes as they die. And I'm like, that's the most badass shit I've ever seen. I'm like, damn, Denzel, okay. That is. Well, hold on. What do you say this is called again?
Starting point is 00:38:22 Denzel Washington. The equalizer. Like the first one. is him and he's just like in his, you know, normal life as a retiree, but he meets, I think it's Chloe Grace Moritz, I think, is the like young prostitute and she's getting beat up by the Russians and he's like, I'll help you because you've been kind to me. And so, you know, he has to kill all the Russians. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:46 The second one, I think, is about his past. And, you know, I'm trying to, I'm trying to remember with the play. lot is, but it's like, you know, something about his past has come back to haunt him and he has to handle it. And then the third one is he's escaping that life and he like goes to Italy for one job. But then he gets, you know, something happens and he ends up in Italy where he's like, I like it here. And I'm thinking about staying here. Like that kind of thing. But the, but the Italian mafia is like ruining his town. He's like, I like these people and you're hurting them. So I'm going to have to hurt you. I'm like, yeah, Denzel. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:39:26 it's basically like male fantasy the movie that sounds like the a lot isn't that like John Wick or whatever yeah kind of same vibe of like I was a former killer and I retired but now I'm back in yeah
Starting point is 00:39:45 except this is more of a I was a former killer I retired but instead of I've been wronged it's other people have been wronged I'm going to make it right. Okay, I see. It was just like a different spin. Yeah, like no one's actively out to get him
Starting point is 00:40:04 in the second movie a little bit, but it's only because he inserts himself, you know what I mean? Like something terrible will happen. I'll be like, that's wrong. You shouldn't do that. And they'll be like, shut up, old man, I'll kill you.
Starting point is 00:40:14 And he's like, you have nine seconds to live. You know what I mean? Like that kind of thing. Yeah. I mean, listen, I'm the person who like, I barely see movies. So whenever we watch our movie night things,
Starting point is 00:40:31 that's like my primary way of in taking whatever media that I haven't seen that everyone else is like, I can't believe you haven't seen that. There's some video or video, there's some movie people are mentioning the other night in stream.
Starting point is 00:40:44 I can't remember what it was. They were like, you haven't seen this? Are you kidding me? And I was just like, no. They should know that by now that you just don't watch movies. Yeah, you would think people
Starting point is 00:40:53 would expect it. Like, oh yeah. It's Crenthor. It's definitely not seen that. But I guess not. But, you know what I have seen? This amazing ad for Factor, well, here we are. Somewhere between the first warm weekend and realizing

All right, let's go to Chappasperin'all. There! Oh my God. I forgot I was in the air. Oh boy, just got to stabilize.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Stabilize. Okay, there we go. We're back. Yeah, it was Easter. So, I mean, everybody was kind of, there's not too much traffic outside of the brunch crowd, you know what I'm saying? But I wasn't paying attention during that.
Starting point is 00:43:43 But right now it's not too bad. So, hey, you know what? Hit the open road, cruise around a bit, roll the window down, and get some fresh air. But don't go too fast, you know, just go to speed limit. and don't live stream it because then it'll, you know, that's just, you shouldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:43:59 But you won't get banned anyway, I guess. But whatever. Back to you. Thanks, Crendor. Ooh, boy. Speaking of seeing stuff and flying, do you see the Artemis II photo of Earth? I don't think I did. I saw that they're going to the moon,
Starting point is 00:44:15 but I haven't really seen much of the pictures. Yeah, they sent us back a photo of Earth. It was probably taken with like an iPhone or something or maybe a digital camera. I don't know. It's gorgeous. But the thing that I love about it is it sparked a lot of like inquiry and thought online. So they posted it, like NASA posted it and it's Earth. But there's so many things that people are asking about.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Like one was the fact that it is upside down technically. So like if you're in space, there is no right side up. You know what I mean? So it's a photo of Earth and people are like, well, what continent is that? And it's literally just Africa upside down. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I see it now. And so people were curious about that.
Starting point is 00:44:59 And then people were asking, what is that green glow? And everyone's like, oh, that's the Aurora Borealis, dude. And then there's, people are just asking different questions about it. Why is it looked the way it does here compared to old photos of Earth? And it honestly was inspiring because it was people asking, people answering, and everyone kind of like learning some shit. And it made me realize that absolutely for the last 20 or so years more than that really. People have been like, well, why do we want to go to space? It costs so much money.
Starting point is 00:45:31 We don't get anything from it. I think we do. Everyone who was clearly learning some shit and inspired by the fact that we're sending people to the moon is like, yeah, it's worth it. It's worth it as like for humanity that we still explore and do shit and we learn things. It's like, oh wow, look, earth. It's flat earthers, eat your heart out, man. It's right there. Well, they're clearly doing some sort of AI thing with this.
Starting point is 00:46:01 There's no way. It was funny that people were asking why there were weird things on the side of the image. And I'm like, that's because that's the porthole of the ship. Yeah. People will just question anything. But I'm fine with that. I love that they question it. And then people responded like, this is what it is.
Starting point is 00:46:20 And they have their answers whether they want to believe it or not. It's right there. And I love that because people are asking things. And all the comments are just people who are curious. And I think we should be a little bit more curious. So I love that. No, I agree. Listen, that's like the digital circus stuff, what I've been saying.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Like, it's fun to be curious and try to figure things out and have theories and stuff. There's still people like, what are you talking about? It just, it is what it is. And I think you're overthinking. I'm like, that's not the point. The point is you can like have fun crafting theories and trying to figure stuff out and piece things together. And even if you're wrong, you're like, hey, you know what? That was fun. Right. Absolutely. That's, I don't know. I've definitely brought this up before. I don't know when,
Starting point is 00:47:01 but there used to be a show that was like a podcast when Lost was on. And it was a podcast from the island that they were filming on and locals were hosting this show. And they would talk about what they saw that day, them filming and they tried to guess what it was going to be. They were always wrong. but it was fun to listen to them hypothesize what the plot of the show was going to be based on a thing they saw or what was going to happen because Lost was a mystery right so there was a lot of uninterested questions
Starting point is 00:47:31 and it was fun to be a part of even though they were wrong and when an episode would come out they'd just be like made to look stupid because they took a wild swing but none of it mattered I would listen every episode they had yeah and it's I think it's fun because you're also like it's like you said it's like you saw like a mystery in a way.
Starting point is 00:47:51 You're like piecing things together. I think it's just people like that. You're solving a puzzle. You're doing all this stuff. Instead of just like, I sit here. I consume. I don't question. Right? Like that's not fun. Yeah. It's nice to work your old gray matter every once in a while.
Starting point is 00:48:08 It's the same with the storytelling. Like we said, where they're just like, well, they're making it now where you don't have to like think as much and they're like spoon feeding you shit. And it's like, no, it's stupid. Like give me some stuff to think. think about. Dude, I watched your reaction to the new Wow Cinematic. Oh, yeah. I'm so happy I did. It made me laugh so hard because I was like, yo, if Crenor is upset about this, then nothing has changed. Yeah, no, it's, it's not even a thing of just like, oh man, like, this is bad writing or this is weird or whatever.
Starting point is 00:48:42 It's just like, spoiler alert, all right? Solvonis is here again. Yeah, the new raid stuff for World of Warcraft came out. And there was a new cutscene, and the cutscene is ludicrous. Yeah, and it's just one of those things where you'd go, man, I thought she was in the Maugh collecting souls for like 8 billion years. And then she's like, nope, I'm here. And I arrived right on time to shoot my arrow at Zalathe. And she goes, ah, and then like leaves.
Starting point is 00:49:13 And you're like, okay. That's the interesting thing. And I think you really explained well. and I love this as you were like, this is a character who has absorbed a God and is basically like the strongest character in all of World of Warcraft and she only ever runs away.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Yeah. You would think she'd be doing something, man. Like anything. And people are like, um, she's actually just like, I was like, okay,
Starting point is 00:49:35 if I was an evil villain, all right, I think a lot of this just boils down like, what would I do? If I was an evil villain and I had like all the power and I was just trying to do some great,
Starting point is 00:49:45 I would just make, you could do like, literally anything. You could be like, you know what? I'm gonna make it so Elyria has like, Tarallion and like, Eritore, like her son. And she like puts some, uh, does the like classic villain put them on like cliffs or in some like void prison? And she's like, I'm gonna kill one of them. And you gotta pick which one's gonna survive or some shit. And she's just like, what? I don't know. And she's like, oh, I'm gonna kill both of them. And then she saves one and the other one dies or something. Like just something,
Starting point is 00:50:13 like some evil shit. And then you're like, holy shit. She's not playing around now. Like she means business instead of just like, I'll see you later again. I think that's unfortunately the problem with MMOs like this, where they have Raid series that extend the story. So Final Fantasy 14, for example,
Starting point is 00:50:34 because this is the one that I'm playing, when you do a story, it is essentially the 0.0 version. So when you beat, let's say, 6.0, right? by the time you're done with the 0.0 the story of that expansion's over. There are 0.1, 0.2.3, etc., which wraps stuff up
Starting point is 00:50:55 and then 0.4.5 is the lead into the next thing. But for the most part, the story is done. What's interesting is that this expansion, the one that's currently going on, they're doing the wow model, which is the story continues beyond the base version, and people hate it. And it's because it's the same thing that Wow's problem is, which is they're telling a story, but in order to tell the complete story, they have to keep extending it to the point whatever patches.
Starting point is 00:51:25 So the villain can't be defeated, so she has to keep leaving. Right. And it's like, well, surely we should be fighting you. Why do we keep letting her get away? Why do you keep showing up only to get up? And it makes it frustrating because it's like, this character isn't doing anything. all she's doing is taunting us until we get to the last raid
Starting point is 00:51:45 which is like her raid and then now we get to fight but because that's the way the game works because it's an MMO I still think there's like ways you can do it better Oh first they did it with Arthus Arthus showed up all the time
Starting point is 00:51:57 Yeah exactly That's why I always bring up Arthus Because like I think that's one of the best examples But some people be like That's nostalgia but like sure it's some nostalgia But I actually think they did it well Because it's like you go to his You know the land
Starting point is 00:52:10 He's like conchon now and you kind of feel his presence all over. Even if he's not there, you're like, oh yeah, I can feel like Arthus, like, did some shit here. He's like, raising the dead, or like, he corrupted this place or ruined these people's lives or all these things. And you're like, slowly are, like, progressing towards fighting Arthus, the whole expansion. And then when you fight him, it's just like, wow, like, we are here. Like, we're fighting. And it's like, it builds up. And it doesn't really feel like anything's building up here. It's just kind of like things happen. And it's like, sometimes you're like, okay. And other times you're like, wait, what? And it's just
Starting point is 00:52:40 And I think someone described it really well when I read this on the Warcraft lore Reddit because I was reading stuff. I'm like, maybe they'll know what they're talking about. But they said, where is it here? It's like everything is like a mystery that gets solved with some one-liner. They'll just be like, what are they doing? And it's like everyone has a master plan, but they're secretive. and it's building up
Starting point is 00:53:10 and you're like, what are they even doing? And then they'll be like, this is what I'm doing. And then there's like a one single quest line and they say some witty line and then that's it. It's like, okay.
Starting point is 00:53:22 I think that's because you have to keep a mystery going if you're going to get people to stick around for all those extra patches. Right? Like that's, unfortunately that's the beast that they've created, which is we can't tell a story and then stop and then tell a new story.
Starting point is 00:53:36 We have to keep people in, engaged with this mystery, but after a while, much like lost, going back to that, you're going to get upset when the mystery doesn't pan out. And like that kind of, that kind of sucks. Which is why it's better to just have like an actual good writing premise or like a base. It feels like they're just kind of winging it. They're just like, this seems fun. Like this is crazy. You guys, you guys remember Slavannis? Yeah, she's here. She is again. You guys remember this. Like they're just, it feels like they're kind of doing that. Because then I kept being. like, well, why is, what is Zalatat's, like, drive? Like, why is she doing this? And they're just like, she wants to survive. I'm like, well, everybody wants to survive.
Starting point is 00:54:17 That's not a reason. There's to be, like, something. Which is why I was like, if she just had, like, she could literally be trying to get shoes, is the example I use. She needs shoes, and she's willing to do anything to get them. That's at least, like, a purpose.
Starting point is 00:54:32 And you're like, you know what? She just really wants her void shoes. And we need to stop her because she's going a little too crazy trying to get it. Because I think that's how you develop a good villain, or at least I think it is, because from all my studying of, like, writing and reading recently is, like, you make villains relatable in a sense, but they take it too far. So, like, for example, if you take a look at Arthus, like, he starts out as a good guy. And then all of a sudden, he's like, what if we purge Strathome or whatever this shit? And some people are like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:55:07 Yeah, he's making the right choice. And other people are like, I can't let you do it. this Arthus? Right? It's like a difficult choice, but he makes the choice he makes, and that's kind of a gray scale area. But then he's like, I need my vengeance against what's his name? And they're just like, okay, Arthus, and then he's like, what if we
Starting point is 00:55:21 frame the mercenaries and kill them? And they're like, okay, he's going to look crazy. And then like before you know it, he's like full blown, corrupted. And I think that's kind of the thing, is that when you have a guy that has like, you know, like, there's like the Zul Jin one I brought up to a few times where he's
Starting point is 00:55:39 like try he wants to defend his land and you're like okay like yeah he's getting invaded by the elves he wants to defend his land like that's cool but then he's doing it in like an insane over the top way where you're like this is bad shit insane right i think that's what happens with a lot of like good villains as you understand where they're coming from but they're just taking it too far in extremism yeah in their mind they're the good guy yeah if i was if i had to be like, okay, we need to extend the expansion and we need to have the villain be the last person you fight in the last patch. How do we get there and make it, you know, interesting? Honestly, you do the same thing you do with Arthus where Zaltath shows up all the time. And I think that's
Starting point is 00:56:23 what they're doing. But it would be like, okay, so for this raid, it's, I don't know, you have to fight in the Sunwell, I assume is what's going on with this. So whatever the case may be, in whatever raid you're at, something crazy is happening. And because this is midnight and the bad guys are supposed to be winning, it should be like the final battle is against this thing and your forces are losing. And then a hero of the story, you know, like a Jaina or whoever shows up. And it's like, I'll help. And she saves us, but sacrifices herself to do it. Right. And then it's like the aftermath is we won, but we lost someone important. The next raid is, you. The next raid is, you know, is, you know, it's tough.
Starting point is 00:57:08 We're losing because, like, it's overwhelming evil forces or whatever. And then someone else that we need dies. Or maybe we lose a fortification or a zone is completely corrupt. Like something terrible happens. And so as we progress through the expansion through all the different patches, by the time we get to the end, it's like, well, you finally made it here. Did I, did you notice that, like, all your allies that you've been with the entire time are either dead or hurt? like the zones and everything.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Like I've been whittling you down. So now that you're here with me, very similar to Arthus, his plan was like, yeah, you're gonna be my new death nights. I've been training you and readying you for this. Same vibe where she's like, yeah, no, you're as weak as you've ever been,
Starting point is 00:57:52 you big idiots. And now I win. And that's how you do like an Empire Strikes Back version of this expansion. Hmm. Where when it ends, it's like, we're at the lowest point ever. We've lost so many of our heroes.
Starting point is 00:58:05 most of the characters you know and love are dead zones are completely corrupted the world is ending like what are we going to do I guess we'll find out next expansion like that would be compelling as shit yeah it would that would be great I would genuinely love it
Starting point is 00:58:21 if the 85 main characters they have they just killed off almost all of them oh I would do without it I would love that too it's but the that's part of the reason I hate the this two is like they've killed off characters
Starting point is 00:58:37 and for like no reason like Voljin well Jin didn't have to die they just like killed him just like he's hit by a poison spear some shit like I don't know and you could tell they did it so that Slvanus could take over but like it felt so like they shoehorned it in
Starting point is 00:58:53 because they wanted to be like we need her to take over but how do we do it and they're like just kill him but then they do stuff like they introduced the black prince say his whole premise is there to stop the Burning Legion and then he just doesn't ever show up to do anything. Yeah, and it's
Starting point is 00:59:08 some of it I think is kind of like the Game of Thrones type of thing where they introduce so many characters that they can't manage all of them and they forget what they even said or what they did in the past and they're like retconning stuff and stuff like which is why it's just easier if they could
Starting point is 00:59:23 like you can like take a couple characters and like bring them along but like for the most part just like make new characters. Yeah, honestly they literally should just people need to die. They need to start removing characters and then start people out with I think one of the interesting things
Starting point is 00:59:41 So Final Fantasy 14 You have the signs of the 7th Dawn They're your allies from jump From moment one of the game And they stick with you You lose a few along the way But for the most part they're always there And people love them
Starting point is 00:59:55 And they're so much fun And we don't really get a lot of extra characters And when we do They're relegated to like B team though there to help, but they aren't the main characters, right? The main characters are the main characters. However, again, in this newest expansion, it went a little wow heavy where they introduced a bunch of new characters, but also still bring along the old characters, so the new characters don't have time to get fleshed out.
Starting point is 01:00:19 And the old characters have nothing to do, which is very wow coded. Yes. Which is funny because like wow is trying to be Final Fantasy, but now Final Fantasy is like... Yeah, it's weird how that works. all these companies try to copy each other. Yeah. It's, my biggest thing, too, is just like there's no stakes it feels like.
Starting point is 01:00:45 And I think that's the biggest issue. Like, even if I watch a movie I've seen before, there's points from like, man, this isn't good. It feels like they're not going to get out of this. And I'm like, I know they'll get out of it. Because I've seen this movie before. I've read this story, like, whatever. But like, it gives you that feeling of like,
Starting point is 01:01:00 oh, man, like, this is not good. Something's bad. But even when I'm like playing the wow, thing. They're just like, oh no, she did this thing. I'm like, whatever. Like, who cares? She hasn't done anything like that we haven't fixed already. Like, nobody's dying. Like, nothing bad. It's like, hey, she corrupted the thing. It's like, okay, we'll just uncorrupted. Like, cool. Like, it doesn't feel like anything bad's going to happen because nothing bad hasn't really happen. Even like Silvanus when they're just like, you know what? Put her away forever.
Starting point is 01:01:29 And it's like, actually, she's back. And it's like, even that. She's just like coming back just for Like there's no consistency. Like there's no stakes. There's no like sense of dread. There's no reason to fear anything. It's like it feels like the parent that's like, okay, you better stop what you're doing. I'm going to count to three. One, two, three.
Starting point is 01:01:47 And then they don't do anything. And they're like, well, I tried everything. Like, it's like, okay. Did you talk to Nobs and them about the overarching? It's like I can't figure out the end of Shadowlands. The last time I played was. I was evil because something even more evil is coming. Yes.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Is that supposed to be Zaltath or is there something else? Because what I'm seeing from this expansion is Zalatathe's evil because there's something else more evil. Um, I'm, I think he was trying to talk about, I don't know. I don't know. I think they're talking about the void stuff, but like, Zaltap. isn't the voids out to be killing void to take their power like dude I genuinely don't know and I went online trying to look for an answer and I just can't find one I think that's because nobody knows like it's it just it's it's so many inconsistencies and things just don't make sense
Starting point is 01:02:53 and the people that are trying to make sense of it are trying to like do the thing where you just string together stuff and they're like I'm pretty sure this is what it is but even they don't know They're just kind of guessing. So it's, I just, I don't like it. This is what it boils down. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:03:10 I just, it was very funny because I watched your video and was like, I've never seen you this upset about plot ever. And I love that. It made me so happy that you care about story. I was like, yes, we got him.
Starting point is 01:03:21 We got him. Well, it's like I said, I care about story in terms of like, like when I'm reading books and stuff. It's like, normally I just don't care about video game lore, but I actually like movies and shows and stories like that. But now that I'm trying to like, I've like researched more writing and I've gotten more into like writing myself and I've been reading more. Now I'm getting more into like good writing versus bad writing, all this stuff.
Starting point is 01:03:46 And so when I see stuff like this, I'm like, this is bad. Yes, I think that's the key is when you start to read good writing, you notice when it's subpar very quickly. And it sucks because just like, you know, if you watch a lot of movies or if you play a lot of games, you can tell when things are good versus when things suck. Just like at the drop of a hat. Like you just have experience with it. You know when things are bad. You just do. And it, you know, it, it sucks because they have the team.
Starting point is 01:04:24 They have the money. They can do it. They just aren't for a myriad of reasons. Yeah. And it's, it feels like at times people just try to create their own, like, reasoning behind stuff, even if it doesn't make sense. Like, I saw someone comment it on my thing and they're like, Dalatath as a villain is positioned as a master manipulator that accounts for absolutely everything. When Silvana showed up, she clearly stated that she didn't think of this. So it's like, how do you, how do you, I mean, to be honest, I didn't think of this either because Sylvanus isn't supposed to get out of the mall.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Yes. Did they explain why she got out or how she got out? No, but she does the thing where it's another like classic, they're like, Savas, how do you get out of here? And she's like, you wouldn't believe. Like that type of thing where like clearly something has happened. Somehow the emperor returned. Gotcha. Understood. Yeah. They'll say it at some point, but not yet. And so it's it very much. It's very, it's like day sex machin. stacked on top of each other
Starting point is 01:05:29 where it's just like nothing you can't go back and go oh yeah if I would have just seen this from like this thing I would have pieced it together like how in digital circus you can go back and be like oh my god yeah if you look at this you can see how like it's foreshadowed properly like there's no foreshadowing here
Starting point is 01:05:43 nothing it's just it's just shock value like whoa characters back for some reason they'll retcon it they can't do foreshadowing because the way they set up their game like 14 does foreshadowing all the time Like they'll drop a thing in a great example is in the base game, a Realm Reborn, they just like drop a little Lord tidbit. And then later on, it pays off in a way that is absolutely incredible.
Starting point is 01:06:10 But that payoff is six years later, maybe seven years later. Right. And so they can do that, though, because everyone, when they play Final Fantasy 14, you have to start at the beginning. I mean, yeah, you can pay for a skip, but you're going to miss all the story. and that's literally the only point of the game. And so people will experience it in order and when they get to points, they'll be like, oh, that makes sense.
Starting point is 01:06:34 Wow's biggest problem is that it's super easy to get into, super easy to play, super easy to play with your friends and get it. Unfortunately, they have scrapped the idea of you going through the story linearly. So they can't necessarily drop little tidbits because you may never have experienced that tidbit. Yeah, but I think,
Starting point is 01:06:55 I feel like... So they just kind of like throw cool stuff. And it is, you know, in a perfect world, it would be cool to see Solvana show up and be like, I'm here to save the day. But there's no reason why she would do that. Yeah, well, there is no reason why she would do it. It doesn't make sense outside of the fact that they're just like,
Starting point is 01:07:15 this is people like Silvanus. And they probably like Slavannas too. I'm pretty sure it's the same reason why, you know, there isn't a black print stuff is the writer who is the writer who is the Black Prince guy left and the writer who is in love with Savonis is still there and still writing about Savonis. Yeah, I think that is part of it is there's so many writers. There's, there's all the cooks in the kitchen. And it's like, I'm pretty sure there's a Metzen quote where he was like, yeah, like we're like a writing committee now. I wasn't used to this or whatever.
Starting point is 01:07:44 Like clearly there's there's a big group of people making decisions which also makes things harder to do. Yeah. To create like coherent story and stuff like that. Like it's... Which again, I think you brought this up. That's why the zone stories are so good because it's literally one writer
Starting point is 01:08:02 writing a zone story. Yeah. And so they don't have to do the committee thing because they can write like a little tiny like, yeah, this quest line's going to be really fun. It's going to have a cool story. And they don't have to like connect it to any sort of grand insanity. They can just tell a really good story.
Starting point is 01:08:18 Yeah. It's uh, although I will say the one is a Harondar, whatever. That zone story is kind of whatever. It's literally just like avatar. But there's like, it's avatar. That sounds, that sounds correct. Usually every, now I haven't played this, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that, uh, the Loa, something was wrong with the Loa and you need to work to stop whatever is wrong with
Starting point is 01:08:45 the Loa because there is some sort of troll problem. and it is about reconnecting with the earth and the gods because that's every single troll zone. You are correct. That was Zulamon. This is Harandar. Oh, well, same thing. Well, that's honestly, that's part of the problem is it almost feels like you do Zulamon, you go to Harondar, and it's got a similar vibe just without trolls.
Starting point is 01:09:09 But it's very much like the, it's like isolated nature attuned people are just like, don't bring these people into our realm and they're like they're going to save it though and then oh you mean the uh the forest place in shadowlands the isolated forest area of shadowlands that was like we are the forest afterlife don't come here and cause trouble you i mean to be honest i think they've done this story like five times already at this point they really love having a character there that's like, we are doing things the old-fashioned way through tradition and like attuned with nature and stuff. And then they, you know, try to keep people out. But then you go in there and where you're like, no, I understand. Then you help them out. And then they're like,
Starting point is 01:10:03 ah, maybe our old ways were wrong. And like, we've got new ways. And now we under, like, they've done that so many times that it's like, here we go again. Like, it's, I don't know. I think that's another part of it. It just feels like some of the. story lines or some of the morals they do are just rehashed over and over. I don't know. Whatever it is, it's not for me. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Not me either. Yeah. But, I mean, listen, there's also plenty of people like it too. So I'm not trying to like bash them and be like, you're dumb that's stupid, but I guess in a way you can get that from it by me constantly being like, this is so dumb
Starting point is 01:10:42 and whatever. Because then in a sense, you're kind of being like, why would you like, this dumb thing but I don't know it just it it's I don't like it but there are plenty of things I do like it's just not the main storyline and not the Hurrandar one I think the Harondar zone is very cool though I like that and that's the traffic okay let's go to weather whoa going crazy whoa um All right, where am I?
Starting point is 01:11:19 Weather, all right, here we go. We've got eight weather requests, and I have landed on Ghent, Belgium. Yo, I've been to Ghent before. Oh, damn, all right, look at that. You've been to this place. Yeah, this is where I saw the Daywalker. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:11:41 They say this is one of the most beautiful cities of Belgium with a castle of cathedrals and Belfrey. it's home to Larian Studios. It is. That's why I've been there, yeah. It's also where I lived and studied for university and spent a lot of time listening to Cox and Crendor. One of the famous dishes is the Julianth G.
Starting point is 01:11:59 Which is a portion of fries smothered in beef and beer stewed sauce, spices, deep fried sausage, mayonnaise, and crispy onions. You need to say less. I'm there. All right. Well, currently in Ghent, Belmont. Belgium. It is... Hold on, why I put up the 10th day?
Starting point is 01:12:22 It is 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Feels like 38 degrees Fahrenheit. 4 mile an hour winds. 31 on the air quality. 30.31 inches of pressure. Visibility 10 miles, sunrise, 7.10 a.m. sunset. 8.25 p.m. moon phase waning gibbis. Deu point 38 and a humidity level of 92%. It's humid.
Starting point is 01:12:44 10 day. We got 59 degrees on Monday. Monday? Monday. Mostly cloudy skies in the morning. Tuesday. You got 67 and sunny. Wednesday, 72 and sunny. Thursday, 69. Mostly cloudy. Friday. Friday. 60. Party. 60. Partly cloudy. Saturday. 67. Partly cloudy. Sunday. 60 partly cloudy. Monday.
Starting point is 01:13:04 Partly cloudy. Tuesday. 60 partly cloudy. And Wednesday. 58. Farly cloudy. I must stress. I love this town. love it. It has one of my favorite features, which is basically a city center that's like, no cars.
Starting point is 01:13:23 Like they don't allow cars? I don't know if it's the dead center of the city, but there's like a portion of the city where just they don't allow cars in there. And so you walk around and there are people like cafes in the street. At night, people are drunk, wandering around, having a good time.
Starting point is 01:13:40 I love it, dude. Love it. Also, they have a cherry beer that is so good, so good. Oh, it does sound good. Yeah. And again, it's where I saw the day walker and I'll never forget her. As long as I live.
Starting point is 01:13:54 Literally, Dodger and I were out walking at like 10 a.m. And we saw this woman who was definitely a prostitute, definitely going to some guy's house. But it was 10 a.m. And I was like, hell yeah. I love this. I was like, hell yeah, girl, get it. That was pretty fun.
Starting point is 01:14:11 Yeah, but, dude. every restaurant I'm looking at. Even ones that are like 4.1 look delicious. There's one day stokerage, day stoker, whatever this is. It looks like it's in an old factory building.
Starting point is 01:14:28 All the food looks delicious. Yeah, there's a place called Clouds in My Coffee. Love it. Hoofden, Ghent. This looks like it's all Oh my God, just
Starting point is 01:14:46 This is the thing I love about You know, simple food I'm looking at this one restaurant They just got like Those fingerling potatoes in a bowl With some butter and probably garlic or something And that's all I need in life That sounds really good
Starting point is 01:15:04 They got like a steak and it's just a steak cut up This place looks like they just served meat and potatoes And like yeah, okay yeah honestly the simple the things that are very simple usually taste the best they just feel like good ingredients yeah yeah i have no idea why someone would name a restaurant mosquito coast but here we are the old mosquito coast that sounds like it's out of a wild west thing like you gotta go down to the mosquito crossing again weird thing to put in a restaurant but again the food just looks good It does.
Starting point is 01:15:42 I like this place. Yeah, Gant, dude, you would actually, this is a city I genuinely believe you would like. Yeah, I do like that. I mean, I love the fact that you can go to a place without cars and walk around. It's awesome. Yeah, you get, so when I stayed there, this is also the place I stayed at where, um, everyone I know, almost everyone, we're there for the Balders Gate three thing. Almost everyone I know was staying at this beautiful hotel, gorgeous.
Starting point is 01:16:09 I was staying five blocks away at a hotel that literally in order to get to my floor you had to take an elevator up to a dark room enter the dark room then open the door to a hallway to go to my room you're like in the back rooms it was crazy dude I was like what the hell is it was also very funny because my room was a bed one cuck chair and nothing else I was so below I was like what is
Starting point is 01:16:39 this hotel. Meanwhile, Dodger was like, hey, come to my hotel, we'll get a drink. Her hotel has like three bars in it, has a rooftop, like lounge in a garden. All the rooms look gorgeous. I was like, Doctor, come to my room. And when she saw it, she
Starting point is 01:16:55 burst out laughing. I was like, I think they ran out of space at this other, and they were like, well, Jesse can handle it. And I was like, no, I can't, I can't handle it. This place is weird. That probably is what happened. They're like, throw Jesse in there. Yeah, I think it was myself and maybe two other people were at this hotel.
Starting point is 01:17:13 Everyone else was at the other hotel. I was like, okay, all right. I got the short straw on this one. And you know what? You did handle it. I did. Yeah, we, uh, I think it was like myself and maybe crykin. I can't remember who else was there with us.
Starting point is 01:17:28 Someone and I, we like went and got a bunch of cherry beer. And then they were like, hey, get on this boat. We're going to go around the locks and stuff. And so I'm just drunk on this boat, like living. my best life. Dude, it was great. I love Ghent. I've been there twice now. Great city. Hey, look at that. Okay, well, hold on. I found a place called Noon's Zeus G. It's just got like some fancy as sandwiches that all look really fresh. I'm telling you, man, you can walk around and there'll be like places that there are whole things like, we're just going to sell you
Starting point is 01:18:02 French fries or chips and then beer. And that's it. And you're like, this is what I want. I just want to walk by, grab this thing of fries, drink my beer. And we were standing around in the middle of this square. And there are people and kids and everything. It's just a vibe. It makes me realize there's more to life than parking lots everywhere. That's, you don't like the Midwest American strip mall. No.
Starting point is 01:18:30 No, it sucks. It sucks. That's why it upsets me so much that we've somehow convinced half the population of the United States that like, The city where you can walk where you don't have to have a car is somehow evil and like the government's going to control you. Like I don't know how we got people to think that. Probably big gas or some shit. But like it's so nice. That's why where I live in L.A.
Starting point is 01:18:52 There's so much walkable stuff. I love that. It's why I chose to live there. So I can literally walk out my door and then go to a space that has parks and shopping and like cool stuff to go see and do rather than just like, I guess I'll drive to. them all. Well, I do think that it also cost more. Oh, for sure. For sure.
Starting point is 01:19:16 And I was also told there's this guy on Instagram who does, he rates different areas of L.A. And he said that the area I live in is a millennial old folks home, a retirement community for millennials. And honestly, he's real and true
Starting point is 01:19:32 for that because that's exactly how I feel. That does sound like you would be in your own millennial heaven then everyone there is like 30 and 40 there's no one young there's no one old it's this like one very specific age range
Starting point is 01:19:47 and I love it dude uh it makes sense that you're not too old for that I am not I am not at all uh yo which by the way I put up on the almost too old for this channel
Starting point is 01:20:03 six plus hours of us reacting the digital circus all in one video if you want to go watch it yep all in one video great second monitor or fall asleep content over there uh fantastic and then i reacted weird the the pixels yes my next video is a follow-up to that because they started an argy dude it's awesome i'm so excited so there's like a whole mystery and there's like a fax number you can call oh yeah it's great oh my god speaking of the the other react thing where we're a react i you doing the YouTube stuff of how to get started and the guys giving all the tips.
Starting point is 01:20:41 Yeah. I was also just kind of learning about just that format in general of like, not self-help, but just like helping people through courses. And like they all sell courses and shit. That's how they make like all their money. But like even all these podcasts that happened where like the diary of a CEO or like all these things where they're they they one guy broke it down he's like what they do is they give you a problem and they're like we have an expert here and he's going to teach you how to fix this problem
Starting point is 01:21:15 and then when you watch that you go wow this is great i can turn my life around now and then really nothing happens and then you go i got to watch another one because then you got a new problem that they introduced and it's like uh they've they've essentially just figured out a format through marketing uh how to keep you hooked and that's... I mean, I would imagine that whole dude bro podcasting circuit is that too.
Starting point is 01:21:40 Oh, definitely. Like, it's about keeping people listening, not solving it. You know, it's honestly the same as the medical industry. It's not about curing you. It's about treating you. Yeah, pretty much. It's because that's, it's all about how we make money.
Starting point is 01:21:55 Yop. Which is so cool, man. And you can get, you can get like tips and tricks and little things here, but you shouldn't expect it to like actually turn your life around. like crazy. The same with the YouTube thing where he's like, just do this. And people will be like, I did all that. My YouTube channel still has like 10 subs. And they're like, well, buy my course. And that's what you get. Then you start buying their courses. And you're like, man, still not working.
Starting point is 01:22:20 And I think really what the guy in this one video I watched showed is that a lot of it does just come down to luck. And you can increase your chance of luck. But that's what it is. Absolutely. It's right place, right time, and you can increase that by being at the right place, right time. But that's all, it's all luck, man. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. And it's, you could have the opposite problem where people will be like, I'm never lucky. And so they ignore the opportunities that show up. Like, you can have that. But you still need those like opportunities to arise in order to be lucky. There's also the idea of you, you know, you need to put yourself out there. And sometimes that's scary. So by not putting yourself out there, you lose that opportunity. And that's just, you know, some people need to get right with themselves first.
Starting point is 01:23:14 You know what I mean? Like you can say you do this, this, this and this. But if you're not willing to, you know, take the hits that come along with it, then you won't have the opportunity. Yeah. Exactly. It can be scary. Yeah, yeah. People are going to say you suck.
Starting point is 01:23:31 People tell me I suck all the time. That's true. I get told I suck maybe every hour at this rate. I could probably find something every hour. Someone's like, Crendor, you're so fucking stupid. Yeah. And you just have to accept that that's part of it, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:48 And that's, I can be a lot. But once you get past that, then I don't know. then maybe you'll get lucky. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, don't buy any courses from these people. What it boils down to.
Starting point is 01:24:08 Yeah, instead buy it. Tickets to Cox and Crendor Live. Exactly. That's what you should be. Link down below. That's the weather. Okay. Let's go to sports. Sports. Here's some long-ass segments.
Starting point is 01:24:23 They really are. Uh, sports. UCLA women's basketball women's basketball. basketball defeated USC, or South Carolina, to win the women's national championship. I believe the men's national championships tomorrow with, it's like Michigan and Yukon, if I remember correctly. So that's pretty neat. We also got baseball currently happening now.
Starting point is 01:24:50 We got the Yankees in first, the Guardians in first, the Astros in first, the Marlins in first, the Marlins in first, the Brewers in first, and the Dodgers in first, with only about 148 games to go or something. Then we have the NBA, we're starting to get some playoff matchups. Piston, Celtics, Knicks, Cavaliers have all clinched. You got the Thunder, Spurs, Lakers, Nuggets, and Rockets have all clinched as well. And then in hockey, we have the Avalanche Stars Wild of all clinched. playoff spots in the west and in the east, the hurricanes, the lightning, the Canadians, and the Buffalo Sabres have clinched playoff spots.
Starting point is 01:25:33 So the Sabers are actually going to playoffs. Yeah. They're going. First time since, uh, I think it was like 2011 or something. You know what's so messed up about that? Isn't my mind, 2011 isn't that long ago? But in reality, I'm just old. Yep.
Starting point is 01:25:50 I'm like 2011. That's not that long ago. That's a literal whole lifetime ago for me. I wasn't even doing YouTube as a job. Yeah. No, we were in the early infancy days of our YouTube channels. Completely different experience. It's so weird to be like, well, 2011, that's the same when people bring up Lord of the Rings.
Starting point is 01:26:11 And I'm like, that wasn't that long ago. It's 25 years. Yeah. 25 years. 25 years. The time keeps ticking. Yikes. Slow down.
Starting point is 01:26:23 Please. Where's these black holes I keep hearing about? Yeah, where are they? I need some time dilation over here. Come on now. Yeah, I need my hips to go back the way they were. Dude, it's one of those things where I remember people are like, oh, my back, my neck, my hips, my legs. I was always like, yeah, whatever.
Starting point is 01:26:44 And then once it starts happening, you're just like, oh, shit. And it's the people will be like, oh, it's not even that bad. You're still young or whatever. It's like, that's not the point. The point is that it's. starting. And I think that's because you're just like, oh shit, because that makes me be like, oh, I got to fix this. Like, I need to, I need to strengthen my ankles. I need to strengthen my tendons. Like, I'm like, it's going to, because otherwise, you're just going to start decaying.
Starting point is 01:27:06 And you're going to, you're going to decay anyway, all right? But I'd like to slow the process a bit, or at least feel good as I decay. Um, that's what it's about. Feeling good as you decay. Uh, and. So dark. And the NFL drafts coming up in a couple weeks. One of my favorite times of the year. Let's go.
Starting point is 01:27:32 Um, that's sports. Okay. What is our fact of the day? Fact of the day. It's a fact of the day. Wait, what the hell? Lyndon B. Johnson owned a car that could literally surf water. It would scare all of his passengers when he would be driving towards a lake.
Starting point is 01:27:51 What do you? What do you mean? So we had like a water car? I thought those. All right. I'm a little upset because I feel like they don't exist and we should have them. You know what I mean? Look at that.
Starting point is 01:28:07 It says, I love it. The amphica car that President Lyndon Johnson used to prank people in the 60s. It was manufactured in West Germany, made its appearance in the 1961 New York office. show designed by Hans Triple, these amphibious cars hit the US market in the 60s, their notable ability to cruise on land and operate in water. These cars were a fun new invention in the car world for that time. The engine was mounted at the rear of the craft,
Starting point is 01:28:39 driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. For use in water, the same engine drove a pair of reversible propellers at the rear, with a second gear lever engaging forward for or reverse drive. Once in the water, the main gear lever would normally be left in neutral by engaging the first gear as while as driving the propellers
Starting point is 01:28:59 when approaching a boat ramp, the car could drive itself out of the water. So it's it was literally just a boat car. Most of them don't exist anymore. However, there is in fact a company called water car
Starting point is 01:29:13 and it is, it almost looks more like a boat than a car, but it has wheels like a car and a steering wheel like a car, but it is a boat car. That is crazy. Yeah, you go to, it's watercar.com. Okay, yeah, they have boat cars.
Starting point is 01:29:29 Honestly, I would be pretty scared to be in a boat car, I think. I'd be like, shit's going to get weird or like flip over or something. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know, like, I don't know that I'd be like super into a boat car. However, with that said,
Starting point is 01:29:47 looking at their website, most of their boat cars are sold out. People on boat car. They probably just want them to show off more than anything, though. Especially considering the cheapest one's $140,000. Yeah, that's a, I'd say that's a big factor. It's just rich people buying it. Yeah, there's no, like, it says it's street legal, but there is nothing in this car as far as I can tell that is going to save you if you get in a car wreck. You're dead. You're dead.
Starting point is 01:30:14 No, that's, I would not trust it. There you go. That's your fact of the day. All right. Who has come to us with tears in their eyes? And bam. Oh, dear illustrious sirs, I come to you with tears in my eyes and the alternate timeline energy behind me. Congratulations. You have been given enough money to make Cox and Crenthor land. What are some theoretical attractions we might see at Cox and Crenthor land? Mm. Okay. Obviously, we have to have an entire Florida land. Oh yeah, without a doubt.
Starting point is 01:30:49 There's Florida land and the mascot is Florida man, obviously. Yep. Then we have to have our own take on like a Renaissance fair or so. Basically a place where we can have a full-time residency of the Mud Brothers. Oh, 100%. They're always there. They always perform. But we also have jousting and stuff.
Starting point is 01:31:13 You know that kind of thing. Yeah. But like you could have Florida land jousting. or they have to ride like alligators. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Honestly, I think it would be fun if we just, instead of Cox and Crenderal Land, we just made Florida land. No, we don't know, no, no, we have Cox and Crenner Land.
Starting point is 01:31:29 Because then we can have like bumper cars, but it's just L.A. traffic cars. Ooh, I like that. I like that a lot. Yeah. All the characters that walk around are L.A. people. Yeah, the guy with the signs can just make new signs every day. Oh, but then we got to have some meatballs there. Oh, yeah, we got to have the meatballs.
Starting point is 01:31:46 Got to have some meatballs. Yeah. We could sell all the Cox and Crendor McDonald's menu meals. Have a McDonald's there that only serves those. We could have a place that has Monkey Mondays. Oh, it's just called Monkey Mondays. That's the name of the restaurant. And there is a monkey. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. There are multiple monkeys.
Starting point is 01:32:08 When you sit at your table, there's a monkey already at the table waiting for you. When you come in, you have to sign a waiver that just says if you get bit of by the monkeys, it's your fault. Yeah, no, the waiver says, I'm not going to mess with the monkey, and if I do, I'm going to get bit by the monkey, and that's on me. Yeah, exactly. You have to, the waiver literally says the monkey did nothing wrong. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:29 Then we'll have, uh, we'll have, it's a small world, but instead of all the stuff like that, we have all the yule lads. And they're just like, doing wacky little things. Yeah, it's like, it's like the seven dwarfs except it's the yule lads. Yeah, exactly. And then they could, instead of being like, it's a small world, they'll just have like some weird Yule Lad song. Like, where the Yool Lads and we're here?
Starting point is 01:32:54 Licking the spoons, having a beer. Right? Yes. Yes. And then we can have a ride where you go, it's like Pirates of the Caribbean, except it's sharks on drugs. And you get on a shark and you're just like, whoa! And he like speeds up.
Starting point is 01:33:11 And then he like slows down and he like speeds up. You're like, this shark's on drugs. Yeah, you know that Disney ride where you have to, like, score points by shooting while you're on. I think it's like the Monsters Inc one. It's that except it's you have to feed your Hank the tank. Oh, my God, yes. So you're like, have to score points to feed Hank the tank and get Hank fat. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:36 Oh, man. Yeah, see? And then we got the roller coasters. You get like the gray storm. Oh, the Great Storm, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. But it's a kid's roller coaster and not very fast. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:49 But it looks, all the, all the, like, stuff of the ride looks like it's going to go really fast, but it's like a really slow, like, very calm ride. Yeah, but then the guy hero ride looks like a kid's ride, but you go like 800 miles an hour. Right, right, yeah. People die on that ride and no one complains. Yeah, exactly. Dude, that'd be a great time. That'd be a great thing.
Starting point is 01:34:13 All the tickets are gold and wood souvenir tickets that let you get into heaven. Yeah, we'll have Tito Watts will be like one of the people that walks around and he like yells at you. Oh yeah. Like the like our evil queen. He walks around and gives you crap. Yeah, we'll have a instead of having like Mickey and Minnie Mouse, we'll have like a squirrel, a big squirrel and a woman like yelling at the squirrel trying to train him. and then like a guy getting attacked by the squirrel. They just go around the park.
Starting point is 01:34:44 Yep. And he's like, The squirrel's eating my nuts. You know the haunted mansion? It's just like the green cheetah's house. Yeah. You go in and it's just like all the speakers are surround sound. It's like,
Starting point is 01:34:55 do it by do better. Yeah. It's like flashing green lights. Everybody gets gum stuck on them. It's like you got a gum stuck on your car. Honestly, this is a great. This is a great amusement park.
Starting point is 01:35:12 Yeah. It would be way better than many of the other amusement parks I've been to. Yeah. Eat your heart out, six flags. Yeah, dude, oh, we'd blow six flags out of the water. Yeah. So there we go. That was a good one.
Starting point is 01:35:28 Dear illustrious, sirs, I come to you with tears in my eyes from looking to the sky too long to ask. How long did it take you to get your pilots license to fly chopter copter seven? Good question. Well, it's not a pilot's license. It's a chopter-copter license. What's the difference? Oh, a lot. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:35:50 There's a lot more you got to do. Like, you got to pass numerous testing. You got to, there's like at least 50 hours of just on-site training with a professional chopter copter. You have to learn how to chop and cop. That's the tough one. do that. Yeah, that one, that's the trickiest part. And then you progress
Starting point is 01:36:13 actually, you go from chopter copter one all the way up to seven, seven's the elite. So once you fly a few of the lower chopter copters, you're like, whoa, this is pretty difficult. But chopper seven's a lot more smooth. There we go. That's the dear lustrous search.
Starting point is 01:36:29 All right, I bought it. Let's go to our big news story of the day. Big new story of the day. This is one that's been all over and people recommended we cover it. Kit Kat launches stolen chocolate tracker after thieves made off with 12 tons of Kit Katz. I saw the Kit Kat robbery. What do you mean tracker? You know what? I'm going to shut up. All right. Kit Kat is asking for the public's help after thieves made off with 12 tons of the company's chocolate,
Starting point is 01:37:02 prompting the launch of a new tracking tool to help locate the missing shipment. The brand, owned by Nestle, announced the theft in a March 28 statement. I saw that, which is hilarious that someone stole that much chocolate. For what purpose? No clue. Yeah. Like, I don't know what they're going to do with it. Like, they can't sell it. You'll figure it out.
Starting point is 01:37:24 I mean, I think that's what they're saying with the trackers, is if you bought it, enter the code or something, and it will let you know if it's from the stolen goods, right? I don't know. I guess we'll find out. Let's see. The company said 413,793 bars vanished after leaving a factory in central Italy en route to Poland, where they were set for distribution across Europe. We've always encouraged people to have a break with Kit Kat. But it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 tons of our chocolate. Kit Kat spokesperson.
Starting point is 01:37:57 12 tons, dude. That's a lot of tons. That's too much chocolate. That is. They added that while the company does appreciate the criminals, exceptional taste. That's funny branding. I like that. Yeah, the cargo theft highlights a growing issue affecting businesses of all sizes. With more sophisticated schemes being deployed on a regular basis,
Starting point is 01:38:21 we have chosen to go public with our own experience in the hope that it raises awareness of an increasingly common criminal trend. On Wednesday, which also happened to be April Fool's Day, the company launched a tool for customers to check if, their Kit Kat bars are linked to the theft. Someone really stole 12 tons of KitKats and we really want to know where they've gone. So they've created a stolen KitKat tracker that lets you check if your KitKat is from the missing batch. Some social media users questioned whether the announcement was a marketing stunt tied to April Fool's Day. Is this all for marketing? One person asked. KitKat acknowledged skepticism while reiterating the theft is real and under investigation. Sadly,
Starting point is 01:38:59 it's true. An actual truckload of Kit Katz from a new range went missing during transit last week. I really, really hope the stolen Kit Kat tracker is a real thing and not an April Fool's joke, someone else said. Sounds wild, but I do think this is a legit thing.
Starting point is 01:39:16 There's no indication U.S. consumers are affected and the stolen shipment was bound for European markets. Consumers are encouraged to visit KitKats' online tracker website and it does appear that it's a real thing. You can see you type in your code and it'll tell you. Amazing.
Starting point is 01:39:34 Amazing. That's crazy. Also, it's weird that I mean, I guess it's Polish Kit Katz. That's why it looks so different. Yeah. Like it just doesn't look like how Kit Katz wrapped here. Someone also said European Kit Katz use real
Starting point is 01:39:50 milk chocolate and natural ingredients and cannot be imported into the United States. Yeah, that checks out. Also, most chocolate. that overseas just tastes better. It is a constant reminder of how low our standards are here in the United States. Oh, we keep our standards very
Starting point is 01:40:06 low. Yeah. That's no doubt about it. Also, 413,000 kick cats. That's crazy. That's so, again, that's like that time that all those chicken wings got stolen. Like, at a certain point, it's noticeable. It's just like,
Starting point is 01:40:25 what, like, I don't know why they specifically were, like, you know what we need to steal? Kit cats. Yes, it's insane. Yeah, like I don't understand. Maybe they had some intricate plan, but I don't know what it is. But that is pretty crazy.
Starting point is 01:40:46 And that is your big news story of the day. Also, they got kick cats on here that I've never seen before. It's like when you look at the Japanese Kit Katz. And they got flavors that have never existed. once in America. And you're like, we really suck at this. And you would think we'd be good at it. It's our number one thing is being fat. And we are not even good at that. Yeah. You would think, you know, we got like all the other stuff. We got like Taco Bell pumping
Starting point is 01:41:13 out weird shit and like all the fast food companies. Like, why aren't the chocolate people doing it? They got, really Wonka. They have a Kit Kat chunky peanut butter chocolate. I bet that's delicious. That does sound pretty good. There's so many good. There's so many good. Japanese kick. They have a salted caramel one. They've hazelnut. It's just, come on, man. We, we're slacking. We are slacking. We need to step it up. We really do. You know what? We need step it up, America. Let the rest of the world beat us in chocolate. That's like, we should be doing that. We should be beating them. Yeah. We should be bringing Willie Wonka out of retirement.
