We will see you August 22nd. Let's jump to this podcast. Everybody, it's time for Cosent Red Dog. Let's see Trend Dog in the morning. In the morning. Like Getsam live, live, live, live. Hello, everybody's an episode of Gak's recording. Beep-up, beep-up, beat up.

I feel like you would be a great, like you'd be a great, I don't know, like, nomish inventor or goblin, like basically anything that. Basically anything that lives in like a hole that their music is ooh-e, ooh-a, ooh-a, ooh-e-a, ooh-e-a. Like that's, yeah. Yeah, I mean, as long as it's like a Hobbit hole, I'm good. Oh, no, I was just thinking like a hole. Oh, oh. Like a big dirty hole.

I mean, I'd like to be able to drink wine and like chill in my hole, you know. Right, but if you were like a goblin, your wine would be, you know, crushed, crushed berries, like mix of crushed berries. and then you just let it sit there for a few days. It's like pretty much actual wine, though. Yeah, that's what I was saying. I thought you were going to say like crushed like fungus or something. Nah, no, no, wine is wine. Even goblins, no wine.

But if you're like a gnome, it'd probably be motor oil. Yeah, gnomes probably would drink motor oil and like, you know what gnomes would probably have motor oil and mushrooms. See, yeah, yeah, goblins? No, they're out in the woods finding weird berries and mashing them. Yeah. You know they love this. They do the whole step on the berries thing.

Goblins love that. They'd probably have like a goblin with really big feet. And they'd like smell real bad. And they'd be like, he's the one that makes the line. That's crusho. He loves crushing the wine grapes. Used to crush people, but we ran out of people. So then he started crushing berries.

Yeah. Yeah. He owns the winery. By owns, killed the farmers who worked it. And now there's just grapes everywhere. And they don't know what to do with them. And goblins don't like grapes, but they love mashed up grape juice. That's better than like half the lore for literally anything.

Well, I mean, that's how you do it. Nobody's paying us, though. They should be. They really should be. Yeah, the Somalié, his name is like a sniffer. No, it'd be Smellyier. Smellier. See?

We should be getting paid for this. You're right. We should be paid. Yeah, we should be. How's your week? Uh, I mean, it's all right. I've been working, doing my stuff. I had a minor freak out on Friday, and I've been like... That the old scam? Yeah, getting scammed is not fun. I can't believe that happened. I was like, ugh, okay. No, I kind of, I saw they got like, you got like three scammers and then another scam thing. You got like super scam.

Yeah, it was weird. Basically, I was trying to make a costume, uh, for Fan Fest for Final Fantasy 14. There's a new. character. He literally, it's like imagine a villain and we beat his ass so hard he's currently hiding as a plushy so that we don't spot him. And so I was like that plushy, hilarious.

Imagine like an emo looking squirrel. He's so he looks unimpressed with the world. He's just great. Honest to God, like the gray storm. Imagine the gray storm but a squirrel. So I was like, oh, that's so funny. I would love to

to get a costume made because basically it's like a glorified Disney costume, you know what I mean? I was like, oh my God, that would be amazing. So I like put the call out, I reached out to people,

I talked to costume designers and all these different people and everyone was like, oh, if you want like a costume, it's going to cost you $20,000. And I was like, what?

And they were like, your best bet is to reach out to a fur suit maker because they'd be making stuff for furries all the time. They have the materials, they probably could get it done. I was like, all right, and it'd be significantly cheaper.

So I was like, great, yes, I will do that. So I reached out to the internet, because I don't know any fur suit makers, right? So I reached up to the internet and was like, what should I do here? And I got people who were like trying to reach out and contact people or whatever. But like this one name kept coming up over and over and over again. And they were like, oh, yeah, no, you got to go with, I think it was perfect creations or something like that. like, you know, perfect plush. And I was like, all right.

So I reached out to them and they were like, oh, I'd love to help you. I'm in South Carolina. And I was like, cool, cool, cool. Now, mind you, I'm probably a lot to blame here for getting scammed because I accepted everything that I was told, right? I had multiple people tell me this person was good. I emailed them, talked to them. And they're like, oh, yeah, I'm in, I think it was either North of South Carolina.

And I'll ship it to you. It's January, so we have plenty of months to get it done. This will be great. I was like, awesome. And they're like, all right, so the way we'll do it is you'll pay a third up front, a third once it's done for the shipping and whatnot, and then a third once you receive it and like it. I was like, cool, sounds good to me.

And so I sent them some money, and they sent me renders. And, you know, they looked exactly like the character. Everyone now was like, oh, well, that's clearly AI. And at the time, I was like, well, it's computer model. So like I don't, I wasn't too suspicious. You know what I mean? Yeah. I was like, well, they sent me a model.

It's not like they crafted it this way. I was like, I mean, I don't know how a first suit maker does this kind of stuff. So, you know, January rolled by. February, this person vanishes, dude, vanishes. I was like, what the? Hello? Hello? Eventually they sent me a message that was like, oh, sorry.

I was finishing another suit. And so I'll get to. work on it, don't worry. I was like, okay, all right. March rolls around. I'm like, we are two months out. I hope you're working on it. And they're like, yep, working on it. And in the middle of March, they sent me a video of a tail, the feet, and the hands. Again, it's like a mascot, so the feet in the hands are kind of like what you would imagine Mickey Mouse or Goofy would have, right? Right. And those seemed fine, but they were not done. And the tail looked nothing like the tail that I, like, it's a squirrel.

It looked like some, I don't know what else it was supposed to be. And I was like that's not. Picture thing. It looks like definitely not a squirrel tail. Like it's not curling up or anything. And the squirrel, like the design isn't even the same. Like if it looked that way, but the bottom was all white and the top was gray, I could like pin it to the top and like fake it till you make it. But it doesn't even look the same.

So I was like, that's not the same tail. I don't know what's going on here. And the guy was like, oh, my bad. Yeah, I just like got caught up and stuff and like messed up the design. I will fix this. I was like, all right. I hope so because I'm starting to feel like maybe this isn't working out right now. Dude was like, no, no, no, no, I promise you.

I promise you. I'm like, okay. So I keep pestering. Like, any updates? What's going on? It's almost April. What's going on? This is when I was worried.

A lot of people online when I posted about it. Like, how did you not know? But I was, I was already worried, but I was already in. You know what I mean? Yeah. It was already March and almost end of March. Like, what am I going to do? Find someone else.

There's, this stuff takes time. It's the sunken cost. Yeah, I was stuck with it. So I was like, all right, man, I need, I need something. And so, uh, dude kept sending me, you know, like little updates and little things. Like, oh, I just got all the fabric, but then wouldn't show me the fabric. You know what I mean? He's like, oh, it's in the car.

I'm like, uh-huh, okay. So finally, he's like, all done. Give me your information and, you know, you can send me the money for the shipping. And I was like, I haven't seen any photos of a completed outfit yet, man. What do you mean? You're done. And he's like, oh, I'll send it to you today. I'm like, okay, two days go by.

I'm like, what's up? What's going on? Mind you, now we are two weeks away from this event. Right. And I'm like, what? So he finally sends me images. And as you can see from the posts I made online, they do not look anything like a squirrel,

let alone something he, I don't know, either made or like, it's just goofy. How bad it is. It looks like some like weird wolf suit. Yes, yeah. A lot of people are saying he probably took a wolf suit tried to pass it off as his own work or whatever.

Yeah. I was like, that's not even remotely what you said you were going to make. What is going on here? I feel like you just ripped me off. He's like, no, no, no. No, I'm, you know,

know, the suit is almost done, but like the face, I had to make some adjustments to fit your head and the eyes, the eyes can't be half closed because if they are, then you won't be able to see. And I was like, what are you talking about? Why give me the initial designs if you're not going to make the final product look like the initial designs? And dude was like, well, you know, there was a lot of, you know, issues with the car. I'm like, then why didn't she say anything? And then he was like, no, my dad died. I was like, then why didn't you say anything? Yeah.

I was like, if you would have told me your dad died and, you know, I would have found someone else to help or work on this, or I would have gone a different direction. I would have done a completely different cosplay for this thing. It was like, well, you know, I'm going to spend all night tonight fixing it. I promise I will fix it. I'm like, okay. At this point, we are a week and a half out, maybe eight months.

days. And I'm like, you still need to send this to me. So you need to work harder than you've ever worked in your life to fix this man. He's like, I promise you, I'm on it. I don't want you to think that I haven't worked the hardest I've ever worked to get this done for you. I am so sorry. Things got out of control over here. But I promise you, I'm professional. I can do this. Next day I hear nothing. Not a damn thing. Friday of this week, I get a message that says, says, and this is when I posted about this, basically dude said, yeah, I can't get it done. I was like, so wait, did you even do any work? What changes did you make?

Did you make some changes and realize it couldn't get done or whatever? No changes were made. He's like, yeah, I tried to mess with the tail. Sent me a photo of the tail. It looked the exact same, not a single change. So finally, that's when I posted and was like, this guy absolutely scammed me. Yeah. And everyone was like, you got a name in shame, bro.

And I felt bad because I was like, if this guy's dad did really die. Like I would feel bad putting more emotional pressure on this person. Right. But turns out, yeah, it was not just a scam, but a highly coordinated scam. I guess it's a problem in the cosplay slash furry community where basically what happened was this person is clearly not in America. Right. They are somewhere in Asia. and what ended up happening is

they either have bots and or other people or they have other accounts themselves and their whole thing is they go around and push people looking for stuff to them which is what happened, right? I got a bunch of recommendations

and I went to them and yeah, they just run scams. The messed up thing and this is so crazy to me is after the fact this dude was like hey, I don't know what to say.

I put all my efforts and everything into this. I was trying to make it for you. I was willing to make the changes. If you want, I will make the changes and get it to you after the con. I'm like, that's pointless. Why do that? Why would I do that? It was literally for this one event.

Just like that one time I showed up as May or whatever. It's just for the one thing. There's no point in doing it now. And dude had the audacity to be like, I can get it done for you. You don't have to pay me anything. else, all I need is $350 for shipping. That's all I need. And I messaged him and I was like, no offense, but if all your efforts went into making

this look like nothing I requested, then you were never capable of doing the suit to begin with and should have told me. And that's me assuming you're on the up and up, which I now know you are not. We literally this dude had social media accounts, changed all the screen names changed all the information. And it wasn't just one account. Apparently they have multiple accounts, all of them with the same information. Like just pure scam territory.

You know, I said, and this isn't even mentioning the multiple Twitter accounts you have, which is very scammy. I should have picked up on it. You did me wrong. And at this point, there is zero sympathy. You said you lived in the U.S. All your accounts are outside the U.S. Come on, man.

You've lied multiple times. I 100% don't expect you to ever. pay me back or give me a refund despite me asking. And the fact that you want more money, come on, don't lie to me anymore. This dude's like, I swear, I am not lying. If you want, I will

send it to you, you can have the suit, all I need is shipping. I'm like, what? Why are you still trying? He's like, I just want you to trust me one last time. No, I'm not gonna, what?

It's like I didn't trust you to begin with. Yeah. I'm gonna trust you one last time. That's honestly, this is like another advancement of the phone scammers, right? Where they try to scam people over the phone, like your insurance or whatever, but like they're taking it to the next level of like, we'll just scam people with the fur suits and shit, right?

It sucks because, so this is one of those things where I have the money to dedicate to a goof like this, right? Right. But I know that for the furry community, some dude working at like you know Starbucks or whatever who wants to have a fun

costume to wear is going to spend all his money and then get ripped off by people like this yeah and that sucks because they don't have that like crazy

disposable I'll write it off in my business taxes kind of stuff and that sucks that's why that's why it's I think you had to

come out and do this because you're helping other people and that gets game yeah I felt like again I didn't I wasn't necessarily aware of all of the thank God for internet sleuths they did all the work they're like this guy does this and this and this is a thing and this is a thing all I knew was that people told me to email this person you know like I

wasn't uh I didn't know they had a social media presence everything seemed on the up and up where you get the when you say the people told you was that people on Twitter that told you like the bots I mean I thought they were real people but clearly they were were either bots or this dude or people working with him, I genuinely don't know. It appears to be some sort of like high level scheme that they do to people often. What's interesting is someone found a complaint in, like, I don't know, maybe two weeks after I had hooked up with them to do this. Someone was like, do not trust this person.

They are bad. Oh, and you just didn't see it. I mean, I didn't know to look for them on social media. It wasn't a thing I was doing. And I think that's my fault is that most times when I engage with this kind of stuff it's someone who is recommended to me by a costume designer or whatever

and they always deliver every time. So I just assumed that was the case here that multiple people said this is the right person. And I was like, okay. And yeah, clearly wrong. Meanwhile, the companion piece that was going to go with it because one of the characters

looks exactly like the streamer it's Twiggy and so she was going to go as that character and same process that I did for this right? We found a person who delivered completely costume looks amazing it's already been done for a while

shout out to Yuto Akabashi if I had to guess what all this really was yeah scam from the beginning of course but at some point they realized that I have a reach and a following and they tried to sort of salvage the situation and at the last minute make a thing

in order to convince me that they actually had done stuff so I wouldn't blow them up online. And yeah, it still failed. But that's the only thing that makes sense because the work is so shoddy and more importantly, looks like they did it in a day. Or worse, went out and bought a costume

and tried to pass it off as their own. Lesson learned, I guess. Now I'm going to have to be like really snoopy about people and not just trust. Again, it was one of those things. It wasn't just one person said, go check this person out. It was multiple people. And that's like that's what hurts because I definitely got scammed. Yeah.

No, that's genuinely like an insane, like intricate scam that they're pulling off. Yeah. And it's so crazy this dude is still messaging me. Like I, you know, I didn't scam you. I never mind tension I'm like you 100% did yeah well it's like

it's almost like narcissistic in a way it's like the type of thing where they probably are that way also because they they're just never going to admit that they're wrong type of thing where it's like oh I can never be wrong which makes them perfect for scamming because you just do that I mean they'll also just never admit to it

because if they do then you know they're caught and you could just post that screenshot you know yeah they'd be great for politics Yeah. Very good. You know, it sucks and it's a disappointment. It's not world ending for me.

I have other goofs. You know me. I love the goofs to bring to the convention. I made little Magic the Gathering cards of my character because in the Magic of the Gathering Final Fantasy set, the hero tokens are random characters from Final Fantasy 14. So I was like, yeah, I'll just make one of my Final Fantasy 14 character. And so I got stuff to give away.

You know, it isn't. world ending, like I said, but it is a supreme disappointment. You do love doing the goofs, though. It's sad that your goof got... It is sad. That would have been fun. I would have been like the most annoying mascot. I would have sat there and not want to take photos with you. Basically, like, if you see those clips of The Wicked Witch at Disneyland where she's like a sassy, that's what I would have been to everyone. I would have been just a little stinker. It would have been fun. Yeah. You need to get the Crendor method, which is

Don't trust anyone. Clear. Dude, that's my problem. I'm eternally, like, plagued with optimism. I just always assume

everyone's on the up and up and a good person. And sometimes I get screwed like this. And it, it happens. Yeah. I mean, they both have their pros and cons,

right? Like, I'm overly cautious, but that also makes me kind of more walled off and the less happy, optimistic person, which is a negative.

Yeah, but, I'm always suspicious of things. Yeah, you're not going to get scamped. But the thing is, is like, I also feel like, I would never get scammed. I'm not, you know. Right. And I look for things.

Yeah, and I look for things. And I try to, like, online or via email or whatever, I know the signs of what a scam is. I just, in a world where we now have AI and bots and stuff that can seem like people, I genuinely got got. And people were saying, oh, these images are all AI. And I was like, well, yeah. I mean, I assumed that at least one of them was because they were using, it was like a, you know, like this is a render of what it would look like. Right. And I was like, all right.

Well, I'm not too stress because maybe it's a render, but it looks weird. But like, I don't know what the process here is. And it's giving me like a final version. But then when I started to get samples of what it was. would look like, everyone's like, no, no, this is still AI. And I was like, bro, I didn't catch that at all. I'm glad you're out there letting me know, but my eyes did not see this at all. Some people were like, even the final version of things looks like AI. Oh, really? Yeah, I don't know if I could even tell the final version is. Yeah. Some guy was like, this doesn't look right. There's some weird stuff

going on here. I do not understand it. I was like, what? I'm almost at the point where I just think, things are AI until proven other ones. Like, it shit's crazy. I mean, they did. There was, I saw someone posted. They said they're using my photos from like stuff they made. So they were also like stealing other people's actual real photos too. Yes.

There was a lot going on. And I'm sure if I went and looked at their stuff online, I would have seen those costumes or whatever that they had designed and thought, oh yeah, that's them. You know what I mean? which I think is the whole point. Is there just running a scam and yeah. I'm glad at first I was a little worried about putting someone on blast.

Because again, like I said, I was like, I don't want to be a guy who uses my audience to dogpile someone who might be going through it. If there's like a 1% chance they are, I'd feel bad. But everyone was like, no, you've got a name and shame, dude, because this is clearly a scam. And I was like, all right. And I did. And it sucks because then everyone was like, how did you?

God, dude, how did you get scanned by this? I was like, like I said. Now they're just like, what are you stupid? Honest to God. Most of the comments are very nice, very supportive. There's like one or two every so often that are like, look at this freak trying to dress up in it like making a furry costume. I'm like, ugh.

Yeah. Which, admittedly, would be the same people that when I did my mace, it would be like, cross-dressing, you know, like, all right, cool. No, it's just the people. It's like, this guy definitely did drink all his soy in his picture that we posed. And it's really hard to tell a complete asshole online who doesn't care anyway, but to even try to explain to them why I was doing a thing and what the point of the thing was like, oh, I'm a fan of this game. And fans of the game are fans of me. And there's an event that I'm going to, and I think it would be really fun to show up as a character from the game,

but one no one expects because it's so silly, and wouldn't that be hilarious if Jesse, who is known to go to various events dressed up as various things, showed up as this? They don't care about the story. They just want to shit on me. It's always the same people. It's always the same people roll through,

drop a little hate and then peace out. And I'm like, yeah, I'm not going to let it get to me. But you guys are very strange when it comes to just hating me for whatever reason. That's what I'm saying. It's they're going to, if people want to complain about a certain person or something, they're always going to find something about that person. Oh, dude, there's one guy who comes out of the woodwork every time I post anything that blows up. I recognize his avatar.

I see it every time. And I'm like, ah. my old nemesis. Like, well, well, well, if it isn't the guy who always tells me I suck ass, hello, friend. Yep. That's why I try to just not, outside of me just being like, hey, I've done this thing. I just try to never post on social media. But I guess you couldn't not do it with this case.

You had to do it. I mean, most of the things I post on social media are this kind of stuff where it's, well, not me complaining about a thing. But like, you know, since that time, everything I've. posted on social media was, here's a cool video game trailer, and I posted a promo for the card I'm bringing to Fan Fest. That's like it. Oh, and me, uh, doing the brand deal for Pragmatta that I did. Like, I'm not, I'm not on there like, here's a hot take I have about stuff. Right. I'm all business, but there's just some people that can't help themselves from being like, I hate you. Like, okay, cool, man. Like, I don't think about you at all, but I like, all right.

Well, if somebody's chronically on social media, that's already not a good sign. Yeah. And it's a lot of the blue checkmark folks, so I'll leave it that. Pretty much any time anyone has a blue check mark now, I'm like, it's already a red flag or a blue flag, if you will. I think some people just want it because either they like never got it back when it was a thing, or they're just like, see, I'm like, it's cool. I'm verified everyone, like that type of thing. but yeah i mean what it really is is now you can make money off of it and so people people will

pay for the idea that maybe they'll make money from it yeah which admittedly some of the stuff i posted lately uh this this uh you know me promoting the the match of the gathering card if you go to that post there's ads for shit on it now i am not getting any money from these ads but they're ads on it. Like there's one right now for my money era. Whatever the hell of that is. My, I mean, yeah, Twitter is just like a cesspool of ads and rage bait. It's all just shit that make you

keep looking and watch that. So, honestly, I'm like promoting all my stuff on Blue Sky and it gets more like native. Oh yeah, I go over to, I go over to Blue Sky. I repost everything. I'm just like, my hope is that I can keep doing both and then Twitter will just die. And then I can

navigate to something else because this is the problem is every single time they're like remember to promote on Twitter I'm like I don't want to I don't want to go there but yeah it's honestly it reminds me of the Simpsons

where he's like kids you tried your best and failed miserably the lesson is never try well that's the thing is I like I like doing fun stuff and I want to be

a part of fun things it's just that the world is filled with assholes ruining that fun always is honestly this is my Darth Vader origin you know all Darth Vader's like

if I could just make everyone follow my rules the universe should better that's what I'm my origin like assholes I'm gonna Darth Vader you like that's what I want yeah

that image of of Darth Vader and he lights his lightsaber and there's all those kids in that room. Those kids are the assholes. I'm about to Darth Vader them is what I want. What was the other Simpson one? He said. He was like,

oh, he's like, I hope you learned your lesson, Lisa. Never help anyone. Homer gets it. Homer knows what's up. He's been through some shit.

I, uh, this is, you know, completely off topic now. But, I mean, sure.

How do you follow up getting scammed out of fur suit purchase. Yeah, I tried the Big Arch. Dude. First off, I need to hear about that. But also, I don't know what is going on on Reddit. But I feel like it's targeted me in a way that I am offended, where I am getting constantly bombarded with Reddit posts about people trying the new Whopper from Burger King

and being like, this shit's on the Big Arch, bro. This is delicious. And I'm like, there's no way. There's no way. There's no way. Either of those are good. I don't believe it. But I am curious what the big arch, your experience was.

Well, let me say also in response to that, I did watch review bra, who is the only person I trust reviewing these food items. And he did actually like the new whopper. I will say, as a person who likes review bra as well, he reviewed the new Wendy's Chicken sandwich, the spicy chicken. He's completely right. person who's had one in the last month, they're shit. Wendy's, I don't know what they've done. I don't know what they did. I don't know why it's terrible, but

they ruined my favorite chicken sandwich. I can't, I can't believe, like they added stuff to it. Like, I just, I can't believe they would do this. That was the last bastion of fast food for me was the Wendy's chicken sandwich. And now that shit too. I'm very upset.

Anyway, please continue. Yeah. No, I, uh, I watched that one as well because he was just like, if you enjoy bone-dry chicken, you'll love this new Wendy's sandwich. It's terrible, dude. And the way they balance the bone-dried chicken is by putting pickles on it. There have never been pickles on a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich before. That's crazy. That's crazy.

That's crazy. The worst. I do, I mean, there's also just like so many better chicken sandwiches you can get now from numerous other places. Oh, for sure. It's just something about the Wendy spicy chicken sandwich was like a comfort thing for me that I remember eating even as a kid. Yeah, I remember getting him as a kid too. Yeah, now they're garbage. Everything's garbage.

Crendor, we're eating garbage. Everything's garbage. So I tried the big arch and it was okay. Well, it is McDonald's so okay is the baseline. Yeah, like it honestly wasn't bad, but like, It kind of just tasted like a quarter pounder and a Big Mac blended together type of thing. Did you ever get the, oh my God, when they made quarter pounders into Big Macs, did you ever try one of those? I don't think I did actually.

Neither did I, but I'm trying to imagine if it tastes literally the same. It, does it just had like a similar type of sauce? I don't know if it's the exact same one. I don't think it is, but like a similar sauce and then it had like the, the, the, quarter pounder type patties, maybe like not as big, but still like thicker than the Big Mac. And then like everything, oh, it just, it really just tasted like a big, bigger Big Mac in my opinion. You get double or a single? Probably a single, right? Well, it was, uh, I think, hold on. Does it have double?

I don't know. Again, I'm asking questions and I have zero knowledge. So yeah. I'm pretty sure it had two patties on it. Oh, it does. It says two. quarter pound patty. So it is two quarter pounders. I was right. Three slices of white cheddar cheese, the sauce, lettuce pickles, and the slivered onions or crispy slivered onions on the poppy seed bun. It pretty much just tasted like, it was like a big Mac, but instead of the actual like big Mac patties, they just used quarter pounder patties and then they just threw some onions on there, which were good. And honestly, like it was like it was too much for me to eat. I ate like two thirds of it.

And I was just like, I don't think I want anymore. Maybe if I was at like an actual restaurant and like eating a hamburger, I'd be like, I can finish it. But I was like, I'm not going to finish the big arch, man. Like I'm not that committed. I just wanted to try it. That probably makes a lot of sense. You know what I mean?

Like I don't, looking at it, I'm just like, that's a lot of burger. It's a lot of burger, which I don't know, you know, McDonald's actually giving you a lot of food. That's pretty wild. Yeah, but how much was it? It probably was expensive. I don't even remember. I just bought it out of like sheer,

I got to try this for podcast material. Dude, I was playing Pragmata the other day. And in that, you go to like, you know, this sort of fake New York. And they had,

I found a burger stand and it had like double cheese burger 599. And I was like, these sons of bitches. Look what they took from us. That was, oh my God. So then I was curious.

I was like, you know what? I haven't had five guys in a while. So, you know, like two weeks ago, I got the big arch. But then last week, I was like, you know what? I'm going to get a five guys. First off, all right? I don't know what happened at five guys.

I don't know if they like fix something or this is a specific five guys thing. But they stopped loading the bag with the fries. Because before he'd get a little fry and then they just like load the bag with fries on you. And that made it, it felt like you were getting a gift. Exactly. Now they gave me some little ass fry. I was like, what the shit is this? It was actually just like a tiny fry with no bag fries.

That sounds like some corporate bullshit where they were like, we got it. We got to save money. But on the potatoes, that's where you're saving the money? Yikes. Yeah. So I was already upsetting. The burger was good. I like the five guys burgers.

I think it's solid. But like the fries upset me. It's just because then the little fries like five bucks. Yeah. That is upsetting. I would, after that, I'm not even getting fries anymore if I go there. Yeah, that's, I mean, what are you going to do? Go back and be like, last time I was here, you guys didn't give me a lot of fries.

They're more likely to spit in your bag. Yeah, look if you spit fries. So either you order the fries and hope they give it to you normally, or you say something. Either way, it's not a great thing to do. Yeah. So, uh, just a lot of fast food disappointments. Yeah, yeah. I'm glad you got to experience that because I will not.

I screwed myself when it comes to places like five guys where one time in England I went to a five guys. And it just tasted better. And now I can't have normal American five guys because it doesn't taste right. Or I guess the UK version didn't taste right, but it was better. You know, like something is off. It's like the Nandoes thing. Yeah, yeah, yes. It's just like the Nandos, the one Nandos I can go to, which is outside of Magfest, it does not taste the same.

Yeah, because we got a few Nandos here in the Chicago area and the, when I'd go to them. Like, they're good, but they're not like Britain good. Yes, there's some. And that's crazy that it's like, yeah, the Brits have the best Nand. You know what I mean? Like, yeah. I think it's just the different. in the chicken, the difference in, like, the way they're cooking it.

It's just bizarre. I don't understand it. But it is what it is, I guess. Yeah. I mean, it's, I don't think it's that great. Because they, you know, they're going to have, like, different ingredients, better ingredients, different food laws, different, like, a whole bunch of stuff. Also, I, oh, man, this is so weird. There's an image here.

And I, I, I, I, you can't judge me, but I was, I was still, I was closing. all my tabs for the big arch search I was doing. Right. And there's an image that was in, you know, how it gives you like a few images of the thing. Right. And you know that kind of like standard tropey image of a like female egg and then a bunch of sperm trying to impregnate the egg?

You know what? Like you can imagine what that looks like. They kind of use it for like health classes or whatever. This is what I saw. And tell me that you. don't see exactly what I see. Yeah. It looks like a bunch of forks are trying to

impregnate that that hamburger. It does to the point where I almost think they did in fact have that as their inspiration. Because I was like, come on now, that's crazy looking. It looks exactly like every one of those diagrams.

It had to have been there. What if we made it? Like, the big arch is getting impregnated by four. impregnated by that juicy beef An amazing art sauce So silly Yeah so that's yeah

That cut my eye anyway That is definitely something What else did you do anything else this week Not really I mean I did a lot of Running around I think I mentioned this to you do not remember, but I had to go

to the dentist and the dentist was like, oh yeah, that tooth that you have, that you, in like 2006 or whatever, you had pooled and then replaced with a titanium tooth. Anyway, that's loose and eventually it's just going to fall out of your

mouth, so we have to replace it. Also, we may need to do a bone graft in your upper, you know, mouth to set it in So yeah, that could be a thing. And I was like, oh, all right then.

If we have to do the bone graph, we won't be able to put the tooth in for a while. So basically, worst case scenario, I look like a hillbilly for a couple weeks. At least that would be a fun experience for. Oh, yeah, I'd be like, hi, yo. Well, it sucks too because it's right in the front of my mouth. It is even like, you know, it's not on the side. I can't hide it. It's just right there. Yeah, that's...

I think one of my friends had like that, not like a bone or maybe it was like a skin graft because like the or maybe that is the bone or the gum line is like too thin and they need more skin there or something. This is kind of the opposite. This is like the bone around where the tooth was supposed to settle

has sort of eroded away and what they would need to do is add more bone, let it all heal, and then reattach it. So basically, if I remember correctly from the original surgery I had in 2006, they have to pull the tooth, cut your gums,

spread the gums, drill into the bone, insert the titanium rod, let it all heal, and you have like a little metal rod sticking out of your mouth, so you look like some like, you know, James Bond villain.

And then they come in, And once it's set, they screw on the tooth. Oh, I see. All right. You know, like glue it or whatever they do. They get it in there. And that might change. That was 20 years ago.

And so, yeah, what they'd have to do is they'd have to pull out the fake tooth, cut my gums, get in there, clear everything out. And then see what needs to be fixed. And then stick new bone in there and let it all do its thing. thing and then yeah it doesn't sound pleasant and so they're like yeah i mean we're going to have to recommend you to this you know this other doctor you have to get i'm like cool guys cool um and the thing is i don't feel anything it feels fine and normal to me but they insist that like and the reason why they insist is because they get in there and they start shaking it violently I'm like, well, if you're going to do that, of course it's going to shake.

It's like, look, it's broken if you start shaking it and pushing. Yeah, if you start pushing it all over the place, it's definitely broken. I'm like, cool, all right, great. I start hitting it with this hammer. It's not looking too good. That looks maxing, though. I get that. That's true, yeah.

Yeah. That's tooth maxing. I've got to have more tooth than anyone else, bro. Um, but, uh, yeah, I don't know. Did I do anything else this week? Yeah, what did you do this week? I've just been doing my, I've been going ham on my YouTube stuff. I've been making my old wild machinemas in the shorts.

Those are going well. That's good. Uh, it's also kind of fun. Oh, you're doing short stuff? Yeah, I'm doing, but my shorts are just like the old wow machinemas. So I kind of just re, I'll take my old machinemas and then I'll like put, uh, subtitles over them and like kind of. Oh my God.

Yeah. Okay. yes, I know you are, because I saw a short from you the other day. And I was like, wait a minute, he's doing Billy again. And I now realize that all you did was reuse that. But what's so funny is that the voices, I could not tell if it was now or 15 years ago. There's certain voices I can still do. Like, I have to do the blue, wrong, wrong.

Right? But Billy's like, it's a lot harder for me now. It's just like, hey, it's me. Like my voice starts giving out. a bit. Sure. Like hey, I don't have the same capabilities.

Well, you're not a wee child anymore. That's true. Yeah, go back to, I still, dude, the other day in the office, we were talking about something in the past. I can't remember what it was. Oh, we were talking about my time at Maker because the new Street Fighter trailer came out.

And it reminded me of the videos we used to make it Maker. If you look at that trailer, it looks exactly like an old YouTube video. like a spoof of a video game thing. We were talking about it and I brought up you know, oh yeah, make her this, make her that

and the guys in the office looked me up from that time period and it's so funny because the first image they found was you and I at BlizzCon and we look just, I don't even know how to describe it like they let children in. It's so goofy looking.

I don't. I posted that on the Cox and Crenthor YouTube thing. People were seeing that one. It's just such a funny photo. It is, yeah, that's the one I used for when Dodger was trying to be like, we were all the same. No, no, Dodger, no. You were the internet sweetheart.

We were two goobers. Yeah, she was like the YouTube version of Haley Williams. Yes, yeah, yeah. Which I fundamentally believe she hates. She will never admit it, but I think she hates being compared to Haley Williams. I think so, probably. Which is really funny to me, because they are identical. Yeah.

And there's us who are just like, Hey there, we're also here. Yeah. But we were out here making the court jester content. Like, that's what we were about. Always, never stopped. Yeah. We are henchmening to this day.

Yep. And it was funny because I also saw, like, one of my older pointless top tens from only like eight, nine years ago, it was like January 2018. And it was starting zone mobs. And I do, I have the thing where I'm like, I kind of sound a little more like me, but I'm, it's like, I'm more like this. Like, hey, everybody. Like, I talk a little higher, like, review broad tier. and some guy said a month ago this one started playing and I was really confused

and I thought you'd gotten your teenage nephew to do a voiceover but it was just time travel that's what got me too I was confused because I saw a short and was like wait a minute is this new? No it's clearly from an old thing but it was just very funny yeah so it's

there's a lot of people saying that because I even on the one I up today is my old keyboard turning machinima which some of the machinmas I watched I'm like yeah this is pretty dated I'm not gonna use this one and then some I'll watch and be like yo that was pretty good and so I read did the keyboard turning one because that was a good one they said I didn't know you made shorts too I absolutely love this feels like a classic Crendor machinima and I was like well that's because it is yeah but I mean they're going well honestly the the main reason I want to do shorts too is because it also drives traffic

to your main, like, long form videos. Dude, the amount of subscribers I get from shorts is crazy. Yeah. And like... They don't watch any long form content, but they're there for the shorts, and I'll take it. I'm no fool.

Well, the crazy thing for me is that YouTube popped up a statistic, and it was like 20% of the people that watch your shorts watch your long form content now. That's awesome. So I was like... Where do you get that information? That's great. It sent it in the old, uh,

YouTube Studio app. It was just like, your shorts are going crazy. And I was like, neat. So I checked. And it was like, this is higher than average. And I was like, damn, all right. So, I mean, that's kind of my thing.

That was like, I've just been focusing more on YouTube in general with like the shorts and then doing more like long form, like, what do you call them? Compilations. And then doing my like, my pointless top 10. But I started doing two other types of wow videos a week. So I'll do like a geogesser. of me guessing where I'm in wow, but I also started doing either an opinion piece where I'm just like, here's my opinion on whatever, but I also started doing the tearless, but I'm like

krendorifying the tearless. So instead of being like, these are my favorite and least favorite wow zones, I did wow zones I'd visit and avoid in real life. So then I'm going to do it again, but I'm going to say wow zones, but I try to figure out how fast you would die in them. So I'm I'm like, dude, like, you go to Angoro Crater, you'll probably die in, like, under a minute. Right? But, like, Tanaris, you could probably last, like, a few hours, maybe a few days. So I'm going to try to do that one. I think that's fun.

So I'm just trying to, like, have fun with it. Because everybody on their brother will be like, here's my tier list of wow zones, wow class. I'm like, that's boring. So I'm just trying, I'm having fun. That's, I mean, like, that's what it's about, though, is being able to just do that and have fun and find little things like that that that you enjoy. And I think you've hit that sweet spot of I am Wow Crendor.

I will be doing wow, right? But I'm also just Crendor so it's going to be what I want. Yeah. We've truly hit the Crennaissance. Get out of here. Boo! Because now I'm combining all eras of myself now. Like it's all morphing together.

So I've got the, you know, the old classic wow stuff. I've got the pointless top pens. I got these new like modern YouTube format formats of like, you know, I went whatever modern YouTubers do, right? Where it's just like, I did this and you won't believe what happened, that type of shit. I went to my YouTube studio to find out like, oh, do I have that thing you mentioned? First off, I don't know where I would even look for that. But more importantly, there's a big thing that says,

we're increasing the length of shorts. Well, what's the point of that? Then they're just videos. Yeah, now you're just making videos again. Yeah, I always thought that because I was like, shorts are short because they're short. And then even TikTok was like, we're a liking when people upload things longer than a minute.

I'm like, this is just like another video platform. Yeah, the whole point is that you told us not to do that stuff. And you punished animators who made like two-minute animation. animated shorts and now everything's short, but now you're going to take it back to not be. It's so, it's so dumb. It's so dumb. It is pretty dumb, but it's also interesting. A lot of people trying to do this.

It's like, it's hard to make shorts and long form stuff and all these things, but like people like us are in a different type of situation because like obviously people have watched us for like nearly 20 years. Sure. At this point. So we also have like the nostalgia angle of like I can upload my old video and people be like, dude, it's that guy I watched 10 years ago or whatever. Right.

So like not everybody can do that. Yeah. But that's good because then it makes him watch my new stuff. And that's kind of the main reason I'm doing it. Yeah. That's the whole reason we make shorts in general is just so people will be like, I wonder what that guy's up to. In fact, I was at Pax.

Everyone who was like, oh, Jesse, long time fan. I don't have a lot of time to watch lately, but I love your shorts. I'll take it. I'm fine with that. Because it's, uh, that way you get a little bit of something for everybody. Right. You got your, your shorts for those people or people are just like, eh, you know, I don't got time.

Or you got the normal videos for people that are just like, hey, fun video, I'll watch whatever. And then you got the long form stuff where it's like six hours of wow facts to fall asleep to. And then people are like, I fall asleep to this or put it on the background. Dude, I'm not even joking when I say last. night when I went to bed, I started watching a compilation of Frank Reynolds' best moments from Always Sunny in Philadelphia

and I realized it was 45 minutes long, so I just put my phone down on the charger and listened to it and went to bed. I was like watching it in bed and was like, oh man, this is funny. And then I was like, huh, it's 45 minutes and I just like, this is what I'm going to bed to. Oh yeah, that's

that's my thing. I've always loved YouTube. Like I still like streaming, but YouTube's my favorite. It's just creatively fulfilling. Yeah, it's nice to create a thing, take your time with it, release it to the public, rather than streaming, which is a complete shit show. Yeah, but my other big thing, I don't know if I mentioned already, is like with streaming, it also can get tiring if like, because some people are like only streamers. And I always feel bad for those people because then I'll always see them being like,

guys were doing another sub-a-thon, like they're clearly not doing well. So they're just like, it's the fourth sub-a-sub-a-sub-a-thum of the month, guys, here we go, like, 12-hour stream today, like that type of shit. And I'm like, that is the last thing I would ever want to do. It's just constant, like, 12-hour streams. And you've got to be like, guys, if we could just have, like, one oil prints, just show up, guys, that's all we need is just, like, one oil prints and would be good. It's like you're, like we said before, you're on a stage performing for,

people to throw money at you essentially unless you're getting sponsored. Yeah, even then, you're still like please sponsor me so that I might eateth today and then you bow and they throw coins on the same. Yeah, I'm not sure what I believe anymore when it comes

to streamers because every once in a while I'll like get some notification about news this past week a bunch of streamers were caught AI botting again and you know, buying views and stuff.

And it's weird because they're always top streamers and they're always people that have thousands and thousands of people watching but then they'll bought like a thousand AI bought views.

I'm like, why? What does that get you? It probably gets them better sponsors by the guess. I would imagine, but like if you have, let's say you have 5,000 viewers, right?

Mm-hmm. And you bought a thousand of those 5,000 What is the difference? I mean, it must be an ego thing. Like, I can never fall below a thousand because if I do, I'll be, I'm such a loser. You know?

No, I definitely becomes... Like, why? How much money are you paying for that? I feel like probably too much? It becomes the billionaire complex. They're like, I have four billion, but the guy over there's got $8 billion. I'm a loser, right? You start comparing yourself to the people you're around.

And so they're only around other big streamers, and so the other big streamers go like, many viewers you got and they'll be like 8,000 and they'll be like, I get like 20 and they'll be like right? It's like that type of shit and I hate it. Agreed. Completely agreed. Yeah. So

it's plus like I like to me streaming's fun because it becomes like a chill community hangout thing. So you're just like you see a lot of the same people. You're hanging out. You're playing games. You're doing whatever. While YouTube I just like I said it's like you can script things. You make fun video

ideas. It's like those videos can stand the test of time where you're just like, hey, here's my video from 15 years ago again and it's still pretty fun and everyone's like, oh, this is cool, like that type of thing. So, uh, and it's just, it's nice with like editing where you can like edit a bit, stand up, go do something, come back. Like my deteriorating body enjoys the freedom of being able to do that. It's also nice to be able to have such a backlog and not just let it squander. You know what I mean? A lot of backlog stuff.

just vanishes online. So being able to reformat it and put it out again, I mean, it's smart. Yeah. Oh, it's nice. Yeah, that's what I've been doing. Cool. Why?

You know what else I've been... I'm waiting. I'm waiting. Great. I mean, that's not where I thought we're going to go, but okay, there's a certain confidence that comes from knowing you look good. even before you leave the house. Miandis gets that.

It's why all their undies and all their cuts look good, man. But not just that, they feel good too. And with summer coming, clothes are all about looking good and being comfortable, and that's where Miandis comes in. It's the first layer, man. It's got to be both those things.

catty pouch underwear designed to, you know, keep everything in place. Meundees is rocking with their signature softer than soft micromodal, which is a thing that I wear and I still don't quite know exactly what it is aside from magic. Seriously, for as long as I can remember, I've had meundies. I have worn meundies. I remember it back in the co-optional days. So it's been at least over a decade. It's been a long time.

Yeah, I currently am rocking. Hold on, hold on. I'm wearing T-Rexes. I'm wearing rainbows and four-leaf clovers. So today's lucky, I suppose. 30 million pairs have been sold with over 90,000 five-star reviews, but if for some reason you aren't happy with your first pair, it's on me undies.

That's up to 50% off. Plus free shipping at meundies.com slash Crendor. That's me. Promocode Crendor. All right. Let's go to traffic. See what the guys are there. Um, man, you know, the traffic, it is pretty insane. Those gas prices still pretty high, but that's not stopped. people from driving their giant vehicles and the various other things getting around.

Weather's also pretty insane. It was like hotter than normal all over here and then it got cold again over here, but now it's like going to warm up again. I don't even know, man. It's some crazy weather. Am I right? Why do people always bring up the weather when they're just like small talk? I guess it's just like a relatable thing you could always, you know, go to. So that would make sense. I guess I answered my own question. Back to you. I would love to know what your version of Small Talk is because I imagine it'd be hilarious. You went to the elevator and you're like, yeah, so. Back in the day, I was terrible at Small Talk because it was old Crendor and I was like, hello, everyone.

And I'd be like, hmm, hey, and I like didn't know what to say. Now I've advanced my communication abilities to the point where I can kind of just talk to anybody about anything. I like that's the way you described it. I advanced my communication abilities. I've tuned up my robot parts so that I can articulate words based on observations. Right, right, right. As one does. Yes, of course.

Because now, a lot of it's just about observation. The weather is also just an observation where you're like observing the weather going, man, it's this way. That's what I've felt and observed. And you've probably observed it as well. Like if there's a woman and her dog, you would just be like, oh, hey, going for a walk, huh? And then they might be like, oh, no, we're going to the vet. And I'd be like, oh, yeah, that's got to be bad. And then be like, yeah, that's bad for the vet.

And you go, okay, bye. Okay, bye. It's a, it's all about observation. Like, if you're in a, if you're in the elevator and then you come into the elevator, what shirt are you wearing right now? Me? I'm wearing a shirt that says Godzilla, king of the monsters. I'd be like, yo, Godzilla is king of the monsters. And I would awkwardly stand there and be like, yeah, um, yeah. I'd say, yep Okay That'd be like this guy doesn't want to talk

What floor are we going to? I'm on floor three No, I'm going I'm going to three two And then we walk together It's a good floor This guy's kind of awkward Why do you say that?

What makes it good? I don't know, nice floor You know, walk around up here You know, good views you can see down there. You know, I bet Godzilla can see from up here too, eh? What? See, you're the weird one. You're thinking it awkward.

Well, I'm saying that there's weird people out there is what I'm saying. Well, then I just wouldn't talk to them. I just stopped. Like, oh, they don't want to talk. That's that. You don't have to talk to everybody. Some people just don't like small talk. That's fine.

I'm just saying I now have the capability of doing small talk compared to how I used to be. Because now I've learned that it's a lot of observation and just asking people about themselves. Most people talk about themselves for hours. I mean, even, again, if I would ask somebody like, oh, yeah, you know, Godzilla shirt. And they'd be like, oh, I don't like Godzilla. I just think the shirt's cool. You'd be like, hey, you know what? It is a cool shirt.

You're right. So there you go. They'll small talk. And they just move about your day. And if they say something else, then you just follow it up. If they don't, you say, hey, there you know, that was cool. And then they might be like, yeah, all right, like they know is my shirt. That's pretty neat.

Maybe. Maybe. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. There's also the the thing where I don't know if you ever saw there's like the two girls and the one girl will just be like,

hey, your shirt's really cool and they'll she'll be like, um, thanks. And just like move on. And that's like, I've actually seen that happen a few times or somebody will just be like, oh, that's cool. And they'll just be like, okay. And just like keep going.

That's, uh, yeah, that's what I was trying to do to you right there. That's, I was trying to get you with like a, Oh, okay. Yeah, but you said it normally. You have to be more insulted. Well, I'm not. That's not who I am, but I can't do that. That's not who I am.

It's not who I am. Um, anyway, that's the traffic. All right, let's go to weather. Weather. It's, da, da, da, da, did it, did it, did it. it is the weather request for Kamano Island

Washington home of the barefoot bandit a kid who would burglarize homes whilst barefoot hence the name and ended up stealing at least one plane what do you mean he stole a plane that's what he says also when you look up the barefoot bandit

he definitely sold a plane because there's two documentaries and one is called fly colt fly and the other's called the barefoot bandit and there's a plane on the logo. That's pretty funny. In Camano Island, Washington, it is currently 66 degrees. Feels like 66 as well. High of 66, low of 48.

Chance of rain 1%. That's pretty low. Wins, 9 miles an hour. Air quality, good. Pressure 29.8.81 inches. Visibility 10 miles, sunrise, 612 a.m. sunset. 8.06.m. humidity, 52%. 2.48. Evie index 3 of 11. Moon phase waxing crescent. Taking a look at the 10-day.

What you got? Monday, 63, cloudy. Tuesday, 55. Shows. Wednesday, 56. Shows. Thursday, 58. AM clouds, PM. Sun. Friday, 60. mostly sunny Saturday, 62, more clouds. Sunday, 62, it's partly cloudy. Monday 59, partly cloudy.

And the rest of the days are pretty much just 60 and partly cloudy. You know what? This is probably the easiest one we'll ever do. Because looking at this place, aside from crab pot, which is a tourist attraction that has no photos as far as I can tell, crab pot. There are only studio. Like Jack Gunter Art and Design

No, I see the Blue Harron Kitchen and Bar Oh, you have to scroll, you have to like go way up I'm not like the Elgar Bay Food Mart Papp Camano coffee What's this one? Rockaway Bar and Grill Where are you at? I'm not like, all I see are little tiny places

Where are you at? Is there like a city I'm missing? Just go to the northern part of the Island. Ah, I see another shot coffee. Honestly, not much. There is not. There's the mono tie. This is all you need to know about this section of Seattle.

I mean, it's north of Seattle. This is all you need to know. There's the dusty cellars winery. There's a winery here. And then directly south of that is over the rainbow quilt shop. They got a quilt shop. That's how you know this place is like

This is some grandma And grandpa went on tour kind of stuff There's definitely yeah If you got a quilt shop that's Yeah Yeah They also have the baked cafe Which is probably just a bunch of high people eating food

Mm-hmm Yeah a lot of fine art galleries Again there's a lot of art galleries Which to me says older people with money Oh yeah 100% I mean yeah it's art galleries Coffee wine beer tasting

Oh, okay. This 100% is an island for, because right south of shipwreck is the Edward Lynn sellers for wine. Yeah. This, honestly, this is like my type of place. This is where I'd moved to. I can believe that.

Yeah, I get my coffee, get my wine, get my beer, look at some art. I just, I see no sign of what the, Like this is a corner grocery store and I'm trying to figure out like all right corner grocery store what's the vibe but everything kind of is either there's no photos or all the photos are this place hasn't existed in 25 years yeah but what about the where where the barefoot bandit go I don't great question I mean maybe that's why they couldn't find him for all those years because there's nothing out here that's yeah there's

like a there's like a whole movie about him yeah there's two damn that's pretty wild yeah there's a oh my god dude there's a bakery and the bakery is a shack outside someone's house

that's probably like that San Antonio place where you know it's good it must be I'm looking at it right now they have a little time it looks like a closet on the side of the street it is so small that there's a photo of two children next to it and they're almost as tall as this shack.

Oh my God. Yeah, I see it. What the hell? But with that said, a bag of cookies is $4. Three bags is 10. A platter of cookies is 20. That's kind of a steal. That is.

You got to get the platter at that rate. Listen, I can't even judge it. It sounds like a pretty solid island. I know you would love it there. No question. asked. Although I might get bored after a while and I'd want to be closer to just like more people. I get bored after exactly a day.

Yeah. It's probably a good like vacation spot more than anything. That's most of what it looks like. A lot of the places that are hotels are just bed and breakfast. There's one called the Pink Palace. Looks very cute. Look at that. And that is the weather.

Okay, let's go sports. Sports. In NFL news, we got the NFL draft this week, very excited. We also had the Bengals get Dexter Lawrence from the Giants for a high draft pick. That's pretty good. We had the NBA playoffs starting up. Playoffs. Playoffs.

Celtics beat the 76ers. Cavalers beat the Raptors. Knicks beat the Hawks. Nuggets beat the Timberwolves, Lakers beat the Rockets, and everyone else is playing today or later today as the playoffs roll on. Then, in the NHL playoffs, which have also started, we got the Stars up on the Wild.

Or no, the Wild are up on the Stars. 1-0. Avalanche up on the Kings 1-0. Golden Knights' Mammoth play today. Oilers Ducks play today. Philadelphia up on the Penguins 1-0. Carolina up on the Senators. 1-0. Canadians currently beating the lightning at the end of the first period

well nothing and then the Sabres and the Bruins play later as well. Mamma Mia, go Sabres. And then in baseball, we got the Tampa Bay Rays and the Yankees tied in first. Mamma Mia with the Orioles right behind them. We have the Guardians in first with the Tigers and the Twins right behind them. We've got the Rangers and the athletics tied atop the West with the Angels right behind them. We got the Braves

in first in the east pretty handily. We got the Reds in first in the Central with everybody separated by less than two games, which is pretty insane. Cardinals, Pirates, Cubs, Brewers all within one and a half games or less. And then the Dodgers in first with the Padres right behind them

and the Diamondbacks. So a reminder, we still got 140 games. Yeah. It should change. Uh, and not sports. Okay, what is our fact of the day? Fact of the day, fact of the day. Football teams wearing red kits play better.

Just like some 40K orc. What do you? How is this a fact? This sounds like opinion. It says the color of your clothes can affect how you're perceived by others and change how you feel. Or if you have football matches in the last 55 years, for example, showed that teams wearing a red kit consistently played better in home matches

than teams in any other color. That's so weird. So, all right, we're talking football or soccer. Yeah. And it's only at home while wearing red, which is very specific. Yeah. So, let's see.

Is this link that he's, okay, here it is. It says, dub part fashion, part mindfulness. Dopamine dressing is the tick. Dopamine dressing. Dopamine dressing. Is the tick,

trend that encourages people to choose clothing that matches their desired mood. So we opt for colorful clothing over the drab and jury. We'll get a boost of dopamine and feel happier. Dude, you got to react to that on the, too old for this change. I just, I don't. Although this is right. Is that real?

Like, I don't even understand. All right. I mean, I will say, sometimes if I like change clothes, I do feel different. Like if,

but that's like, if I change out of my pajamas in the normal clothes, I'm like, All right, time to get moving. That's more like, you know, I've changed into my clothes to do stuff type of thing. Sure. It's just weird that it's red specifically.

Yeah. I guess because red could also, I don't know, maybe they say it. Dopamine as a neurotransmitter is involved in several brain functions, including the forming of emotions. It's not the only molecule that can affect how we feel. There's also serotonin, oxytocin, and various endorphins interacting with dopamine to give the rise to our mood.

but dopamine does play a fundamental part in our brain's reward system. As to whether our outfit choice can offer a dopamine boost, to put it plainly, we don't know. Excellent. Great. Yeah, cool. All right. There is no study that has asked participants to change into brightly colored clothes while monitoring the dopamine levels in their brain, but as far as the concept goes, there are studies that show a relationship between the clothes we wear and how we act and feel. Okay. In one study, people photographed wearing a red or black t-shirt reviewed as being more attractive than those wearing any other color. Wearing red can also lead to better physical performance.

A review of football matches over the last 55 years showed that the red team's kit kit kit kit kit. One study showed that wearing an outfit that was associated with a profession, like a doctor's white coat, improves cognitive processes. Is that like a... Wait, what? If I want to be smarter... Wear a lab coat is what you're telling me. I guess. There's got to be like... This sounds like pseudoscience.

This can't be real. I mean, I can see how... It's like when people wear a lab coat in those infomercials. And it's like a chiropractor or something. Oh, and other people buy into it. Oh, yeah. Like, I can understand seeing someone wear red

and just like a red car, you have the perception is, oh, they're going to go faster. For whatever reason. Yeah. But the idea that it affects you, you, you're not even the one looking at it, really. Yeah, but maybe you have that type of thing you just mentioned where you're like,

oh, they got to go faster. So you in return think like, I'm wearing red, I got to go faster. It makes you go faster? Like it's a self-fulfilling prophecy? I guess. I honestly have not a clue. I don't know either. Permed in clothed cognition,

this might also be why wearing gym clothes makes us more likely to exercise, while formal suits make a person act more with dominance. when it comes to performance. Comfort is arguably more important. Students taking exams for better when they were wearing comfy or less formal clothes. Those who spend their days pursuing creative endeavors might want to try wearing green, as viewing the color has been linked to better creative performance. But that's the thing. Viewing the color! Yeah, you're not even viewing it.

You're not viewing it. It isn't wearing the color, does it? Yeah, that's just like seeing. You see you're better off putting up like some greens. pictures or like plants in your room or something. Yeah, if you put a bunch of plants in your room, I bet that actually does improve performance in some way in some aspects of life, for sure. And you're also feeling like nature and stuff.

And it's like calming. So I can see that. Yeah. It says yellow. Oh, wait, green has been found to evoke feelings of relaxation. This reminds us of nature. Yellow and suggestions of summer and warmth can bring a viewer happiness, energy, and excitement.

though it's not known if these feelings occur when wearing the color. Great. There's some problems with studying associations. You don't say, you don't say. Yep. Between color and emotions. Namely, that our opinions are closely linked with our culture. In the UK, we may associate the color black with sadness

because it's what we wear to a funeral, but mourners were white at funerals in China. We also can't say for certain that everyone sees color the same as anyone who saw the dress on social media in 2015. can attest to. Which, by the way, I did see a woman wear that dress, like a couple weeks ago, out in public, and I was blown away. I was like, what do you mean?

Which is pretty funny. I was like, that actually is a real thing? Someone's wearing? Okay. Maybe they bought it back then. They just busted it out. You know? Yeah, I guess.

Um, so yeah, there we go. That's your fact of the day. There I go. Alright Who has come to us with tears in their eyes? We've got tears Here we go We've landed on

Dear Lesterouss sirs With the Choir of Angels Ringing through my ears On the screams of the damned in my heart What is your favorite obscure music genre? You probably are better at this than me Um I mean the thing is like

I listen to my trance music when I go to the gym or like EDM stuff. But I would say Toaster Woman finds more like obscure stuff that I like, but it's more like we'll be in the car type of thing. Like, for example, I showed you the music a few weeks ago or months ago,

I don't even know how long ago, where it was like that old, like, scholastic utopia music where it's like, dun, da, do, do, do. Yeah. Like that's kind of obscure, but like it's genuinely good and like chill music.

And it just makes you feel, like, you know, like you're almost like it makes you feel like you're learning or like you want to learn. Maybe that's, maybe that's if I wore some clothes like a lab coat, I'd be a super scientist. You'd be a smartest man alive. Yeah. Yeah, I really, I mean, I think that type of thing. And that kind of ties in more, I guess, to. Or like there's the old like coffee shop 90s type of music, which I guess like then.

That's what I was going to say. I am obsessed with, uh, there is, if you, you could probably. go to YouTube and look it up Basanova 90s covers. That's what my current obsession of like weird stuff no one listens to. It is all 90 songs, but you know that like

da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da- That style but 90 songs. So it'd be like, hit me baby one more time. Hit me baby. You know, like that kind of stuff. It's great.

It's so much fun. That is pretty fun, honestly. I've heard, that kind of reminds me where I've heard the, they'll take 90s songs or different songs, like 80s or whatever, and they do it to the medieval music. Yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah. It's just like, do, do, do, do, do it. Like play on the harp or the, whatever the shit, the medieval.

Yes, my favorite one, I think is, it's some Eminem song. I can't remember what it was, but it's just so well done. Like, rap is really, well done in old like plucking a loot style. For some reason it works really well. Yeah. It really does.

Like you'd think pretty much any song and make it sound really good doing that. Yeah. I just didn't think about that because it I feel like people know about it now because it became like a meme for a little bit. Yeah, that's true. It did kind of have its little moments

that people know about it. But it is extremely funny. Yeah. So there we go. We got that one. Ben. Dear Alustre Seres, with tears in my eyes and my arm and a sling, I come to you asking. Crendor, do you have any recommendations of YouTube physiotherapist for shoulder and neck pain?

I've been in pain for over two years now. And after seeing one bad physiotherapist, a doctor and four chiropractors, it's been narrowed down to maybe something pinched between the clavicle and first rib. Much love to both of you. been listening to since the sound cloud days, mama me. I mean, look, this is a you thing.

I don't have this experience. That's true. I mean, at this point, it almost sounds like it almost sounds like it's something that requires like just a really good physical therapist in real life.

Like you saw one bad physiotherapist. I would try to find a good physical therapist in real life. Like, don't go to chiropractors. That's my, that's my big thing. Just stop going to the chiropractors. Because I, some people, like, again, with chiropractors, some people say it works for them. That's cool.

I, I've been to a chiropractor once. I hated it. I've heard terrible stories. Once was enough. Yeah, I've heard terrible stories of like, I know at least two people in, like, real life that had chiropractors messed them up bad enough to where they needed, like, surgery. And Dr. John said he's seen patients. They got messed up from chiropractors.

So, like, I don't trust chiropractors. But the same time, I've had, like, a couple people in my streams that are just like, I go to chiropractor, fix my things. Like, I don't know. I don't trust it, but some people, it works. But I guess if you've seen four, I don't think it's going to help you currently. Let's see. And, do I try to think of, like, physical therapy.

Honestly, here's the thing. One of the best things you can do is find old people therapy videos. Like they're just start searching for like physical therapy for people over 50. And just start doing those. Because like they're going to give you really basic kind of baby movements that aren't going to, you know, throw everything out of place. Because a lot of times when you have a lot of problems, it can be little muscles or just like postural or, you know, just like nothing major. So when you try doing like big exercises, like, I'm going to do some like chest presses and like all the shit. And you're like lifting really heavy weights.

Like that's always really terrible for when you're already hurts. You want to just do like small exercises that are going to strengthen the muscles around the area that's actually inflamed or irritated. And that can take the pressure off it. It's kind of like it's the, I've probably said it. It's like the donut theory where you exercise everything around the hole of the donut to help strengthen. strengthen and relieve the pressure of that area. Yeah, no, dude, that's what I do all the time. I like to, I like to, like, to, like, get in around the hole, really focus on that.

Right. Yeah, I know. Yeah, you've always said that, I know. I've always said that. But, yeah, honestly, start looking up, like, 50-plus-year-old shoulder neck pain therapy on YouTube. They're going to have, you're going to have this person in, like, a pool with a bunch of, like, 70 year old women doing like, you know, water yoga.

Calesthetics. I mean, listen, the water, there's a reason they're doing it. It's easy on the joints. It gets your muscles moving a bit harder. Like, it might actually be good, especially if you've got a lot of shoulder neck pain. So, I mean, honestly, that's my tip.

There's a lot of good ones out there now. But that, and then I'd also try to find a better PT. Because they can also help you. It's like I look up all my shit online, but I also have like an actual good PT I go to. And she like, even if she might not give me the best exercises to help me, she'll like help with like pinpointing what's wrong or like what to avoid or what you can do and stuff like that. Some good advice. Yeah. There we go.

Um, and that are, that are, that are the dear illustrious sir. Okay. Well, What is our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day. Also, somebody in the comments said, Crendor is so right. I used to listen to him complaining about his pains and got annoyed. Now I wish I would have started working out when he started complaining.

I'm telling you, the pain comes for us all. Yeah, you know what? That's the problem with getting old. You experience everything, but anyone who's young never listens to you. Exactly. It almost sounds like I'm telling my parents they're right. And mom, if you're listening to this, it's not what I'm saying. I will never admit that.

I will just not. Exactly. So, please visit 91-year-old woman who missed check-ins called, only to find her playing video games in her bedroom trying to beat her record. You know what? This is basically every streamer, so yeah, I get that. Oh, I tried to reach out to you. Where were you? Oh, sorry, I was streaming. For four days straight. Yep, yep. Okay.

Yep. See, the urge to lock yourself away and obsess over a game for days on end apparently doesn't fade away with age. A 91-year-old Ohio woman was recently surprised by a visit from police during an extended gaming session, which had apparently been so absorbing she'd been missing check-in calls alarmed a welfare agent. That's so funny. As News 5 Cleveland reports, the unnamed West Lake Ohio woman, that's our new Florida man is unnamed West Lake Ohio woman, is part of the city's, Are You Okay, police program?

Members of the program receive daily calls to confirm their well-being, a godsend for elderly or disabled people living alone. That's pretty nice, yeah, I get that. That is pretty cool. If the call is not answered, the police are notified, and they will go to your home and check if you're okay. On Thursday, April 9th, the elderly gamer missed her regular check-in calls, a follow-up call from police, as well as follow-up calls from police and her daughter.

So officers were sent to her home to check on her. Rather than an old woman in distress, police found a woman with something to prove. Police after through the garage. Stop! And found the woman in her room. And in her report, the dispatch officer says, we're here with her now. She's playing video games in her bedroom.

News 5 Cleveland. I just love the fact that that had to be a call. Like, yeah, there's a 91-year-old woman. She's, we haven't heard from her a while, do a wellness check, and they get there, and she's gaming. That's only going to happen more. Oh, that definitely is going to happen more.

That's how they're going to find my ass. We're going to be like, we haven't heard from you in weeks, and I'll just be sitting there like, I'm trying to get this achievement. News 5 Cleveland adds that the woman was trying to beat her record and thus missed the check-in calls but was thankful for the check-in. Westlake police captain Jerry Vogel said, everyone got a good laugh out of it.

They also stressed the apartment's check-in program has saved lives in the past. The average gamer has only gotten older alongside the medium itself and we're seeing more and more elderly gamers demonstrate that the hobby can be a lifelong one. Skyrim Grandma Shirley Curry only recently retired. Yeah, I know, I know Skyron Grandma. Yep. After her any surprising fame through her let's play style YouTube videos of the iconic RPG, similarly in a less heartworming incident, heartworming,

you don't want a heartworm incident. Warming incident. Endowment of America's healthcare. An 81 year old Arizona grandmother streamed Minecraft to help pay for her grandson's cancer treatments. An American classic. That's messed up. Yeah. That reminds me every time I see someone post online, like,

I got to go fund me. I'm like, you shouldn't have to do that. Like, that sucks. Yeah, it does. Um,

if only we had, like, people with billions of dollars to help rein. Yeah. If only we had a bunch of taxes we all paid, and then it, like, went to something useful.

Instead of hoarding it, like smog. Yeah, but dude, we need more fighter jets. Yeah, we definitely need more. If anything,

we should get, we should get to take a spin. Let the pilots pilot it, but, Everyone who paid for that damn thing gets to take a spin. Yeah. Put us in the back and let's fly. Last year, we spoke to Elder Lord Mike Williams.

A then 72-year-old gamer who puts 700 hours in the Elden ring. The Eldon Lord. That's amazing. And cleared it on game plus seven difficulty. Williams. I love that dude. That is, that guy's a stronger man than me at whatever age he is. I would not have the patience or the will.

That's true. I mean, he is the elder lord. That's right, right. Yeah. Told me he's now enjoying hardcore games like Marathon, an extraction shooter. They kicked my teeth so hard

when they flew out of my ears. I hope to have the dexterity and the acuity to crush from software games and extraction shooters when I'm in my 70s. I'm curious what the woman was playing, though.

Because it doesn't say what she was playing. Yeah, she's trying to beat a score. Yeah, like, what was she playing, like Pac-Man? She's playing like, I don't know. She's playing like an old game or something. I would love it if she's playing like

Enter the Gungeon or some shit. Yeah. Gotta beat my score. These damn bullets? I was always curious too because like if you're playing video games and stuff, I wonder if you have better hand-eye coordination or like Oh, it probably works your mind a bunch.

There's definitely reasons to do it. But also I, you know, there's the opposite of how much you do it and sitting around and stuff when you're older can make you even worse so like, you know. Yeah. I guess as long as you're just doing it a bit and then still stay inactive and stuff.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure. Yeah. But again, she hadn't been seen in days. So probably not the healthiest version of that. However, it is the best. I love that for her. Yeah. So that's fun.

And she's all right. It's like those stories where we get the like animal did something at the end they're like, we put the animal down. Like what? If at the end of this article they said they put her down, I would be like, what do you mean? She was having a little too much fun, so we

put her down. Yeah. Sorry, Nana. She didn't beat the score, so we had to put her down. If only she not performed. If only she was wearing the color red, she might have. Yeah, if she was wearing red, she would

have looked down at herself and said, I should do this faster. There we go. That's a big story of the day. All right. That's it for us. Thanks so much of listening. You're watching.
