We are technically sold out. However, there's like extra seats they have in case we want to bring people, but we don't. So we're not. And aside from the group of us that show up as usual, I think we freed up a, oh boy, I'm going to go look this up right now. 16 seats available. Oh.

So if you would like to come and be one of those 16, we would love to have you. Anyway, let's jump in this podcast. Hello, everybody. It's time for Cosent Red Dog. This is Trend Dog in the morning. In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. In 4 hour and 40 studio, recording.

Recorded. Wip, wake your ass up. It's up. Hello, my God's Shrendar in the morning. Hello, my second. I'm like Gawks and Crenor in the morning. Yeah. Oh, my God.

Whoa. Whoa. Came in like a wrecking ball. Yeah, what's up? How we don't? Dude, I'm like Miley Cyrus right now. I've always said that about you. I've said, you know what?

Of all the people you could be, you're a little Miley Cyrus. I'm a little bit of Miley Cyrus. Cyrus. But you're more of a party in the USA, Miley Cyrus. That's, you know what? That's true. I am. Money in the U.S. thing. That's you.

What else did she even sing? I don't even remember. She did. The climb. I remember that one. None of these other ones I've even I don't even remember anything.

Yeah, most of the songs are not you. You're a party in the USA. Kind of girl. That's who you are. She made a song called Dyeleger. That's probably more of my... It's my speed. You have to look up the lyric because maybe it's like not exactly what you think. You know what, that's true. Let's see.

Okay, yeah, it's definitely not. She said, I could be your doctor and I could be your nurse. I think we... I think I see the problem. It's only gone get worse. Of midnight medication, just show me where it hurts. I need to rock you baby before your body bursts. Hannah Montana. Oh my God. Oh my God.

That just let me work it out. Oh, let me work it out. Oh, yeah. Let little mama work you out. You want to work it out? I love that there's a question of the, I love the escalation of that song is so funny because it's like, I'm going to work it out, boy.

Mama's going to work it out for you. If you want me to. Like if you want me, if you want me to work it out. Yeah. But your body's going to burst. So like you really. should let me work out. But like, only if you want, only if you want me to.

Yeah. But like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna do it, but like only if you want. Yeah. Um, I didn't think we'd open this up on Miley Cyrus lyrics, but here we are. That's why people tune in. They tune in for such a great conversation as what these Miley Syrac's lyrics mean? Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, that's, you know, if you tune in Chuluminati, it's just math is talking about banging aliens. So, I mean, it's probably better than that. Maybe. I don't know. Mathis would 100% talk to an alien and ask to work it out and let little mama work it out. Yeah, let little mama work it out for you, alien. The alien would be like, hold on. Do I want this?

He's like, only if you want it. He's like, oh, thank you. Thank you for asking. Yeah. What's up? How you do? I'm doing delightful. Back from a week at Summer Games Fest, loved it, had a blast, played a ton of games.

seen things that, boy, oh boy, I don't even know how to describe. I've seen a lot of indies, a lot of like really cool things. I got to deal with Warhammer 40K total war nonsense. I cannot stress to you. 40K fans are about to be very happy. Total war fans, I'm interested in what they're going to think because it's a new engine. It's all sorts of new mechanics. It feels less and less. Does that mean your turns will only last like 20 seconds? I don't know about that. I have no clue.

But graphically, it's way better looking. It's really cool. The maps and everything look gorgeous. The units are really cool. I just can't get into any real detail because of embargo stuff. But honestly, I was impressed. I'm really excited. However, it feels more like a Warhammer game than a total war game.

If that makes any sense. And that's all I can really say. That's going to be fun. I mean, I played, I know you did that video about the 40K trailer or whatever, but that was more about the actual tabletop game. And you were confused. Yeah, I was shocked that they did a trailer for the tabletop game. I was like, oh, okay.

But I guess there's new stuff coming. Yeah, it's the new addition. Every three years they do a new edition. So we're on 10th going into 11th edition. I've played since 9th edition. What's me like what changes really? Is it a lot or is it just one or is that how I get people to keep buying stuff and changing units and playing different things? That is part of it, but some of it's just rule clean up like change.

So for example, ninth edition, one of the most notorious things they removed was stratagem bloat. And some people love their stratagem. So a stratagem is throughout the game you get command points. And you can use those command points to play stratagems, which are like little bonus abilities, essentially. So back then, every faction on top of like the core strategums had like 50 stratagems. So like if you're just like, all right, what ability do I want to use right now? And you would open your like cheesecake factory menu of stratagems and just like look through. And then when you'd play against other people, they'd be like, I'm going to do this move.

And you'd be like, actually I've activated my. It's like the trap card where it's just like I got this stratum. And since you've never played my army before, you clearly don't know all. 50 of my strategums, like that type of shit, which is why it was annoying. But then people that knew all of them were just like, no, my strategums. So is that type of thing. Whereas more of like a barrier to entry. Yeah, okay.

So they cut all those down a lot in this edition. They implemented some like Sigma stuff. And now they're actually kind of doing a similar thing where they're keeping a lot of it the same, but they change like objective style and like scoring primary, secondary objective things. They change charging, which is nice to be more like Sigma charging. So there's like a little little things here and there that they update or tweak. And sometimes the additions have really big changes, but sometimes they're just kind of like this where it's more of a side grade than a full upgrade.

Do they do a lot of we're going to push a certain faction with the new edition? Like, well, people aren't playing this. So we're going to make a huge change with this thing and make people want to play it. kind of. They rotate the enemy. So they'll be like, it's space marines versus tyrannids. It's space marines versus orcs. It's space marines versus necrons. Like ninth edition was necron. Then it was tyrannid and 10th. And now it's orcs. So they've rotated through my three favorite armies in the box, which I love. Because I'm like cool, new models for me. Uh, new units to play with. But, uh, I never really pay attention to space marine stuff. It all looks the same to me. But I don't like space marines or humans. Which is crazy because I'm with you But every time I talk with people That is clearly the favorite Oh yeah

People love space marines Yeah People love space marines Which you know That's fine but I don't Yeah I um I'm interested to see what they do with that

But I do think it's kind of neat Like I went online and I looked up All sorts of new units and stuff I'm not gonna buy them But I do like looking I think they're neat Yeah, one other, the big change is like terrain objectives. So currently you have like little circular objectives.

So it's kind of like if you're playing a video game, it's like hold the point and the points like this dedicated area and you like essentially get stuff for holding the point. Like you might score points. You might complete an objective. It might be like hold the point for a while. But now they're making it so terrain is the objective. So they're like doing away with actual points and making it so like the terrain is the objective. trying to do, which I think is pretty cool because then it's one less thing you got to bring. And it's also kind of more immersive, where you're not really fighting over some like random

as point. You're actually fighting for things on the board, which I think is cool. Yeah. But the other part with 40K is it's just like, it's so much shooting. So I think they're trying to help melee a bit. Because like the amount of, I can't even tell you the amount of times where you try to hide your units and then like part of your units just peeking out. and it's just like, I can see it, and then it gets blown up because people just blast their shit out of everything.

Yeah, I mean, I guess that's the problem with things like that where you have lots of artillery and ships and things where the melee units kind of become secondary unless you really buff them to the extent that they can't take damage. Yeah, that's kind of always the balance. Like when you play Sigma or like fantasy, it's much more like the range is chip shot damage or kind of weakening you down or even like magic.

And then the actual melee combat is the meat of the fighting. But in 40K, it's very much just range. And if you get into melee, unless you're using a melee unit, it's like, uh-oh, I got to get out of here. Like, for example, all right, here's one thing that happened. I had my Scorpak lord, okay, Necron guy, a powerful melee unit. And he killed a unit with his scorepec dudes attached.

And then all the Scorpeg guys died. just the Lord and he was on a point and I was like dude I need to go capture their point because like it's open in the backfield I got to make it there so I moved them up and I was able to dodge their charge they tried to charge him but they failed it because they rolled poorly and then I charged his tank and got it down to like three HP but then he retreated the tanks he didn't want his tank to die and then I went and charged their like back objective and took it and that got us like the the points we needed to actually like win the game instead of tie it no it's a it's a fun thing like when you actually like when you actually

actually get into the tabletop and you play a lot and you get used to the rules and you have a group of people to play with. It's fun. But the hard part is all of those things. Like getting the units, painting them, building them, and then finding people to play with. Yeah, that, that, I mean, there's a lot of steps. Yeah. There are a lot of steps. It's one of the activities that requires a lot of steps. Yeah. And time. Because like, when we play, we'll be like, hey, guys, you want to play on Friday? And then they'll be like, ah, I'm going to a concert with my wife. It's like, all right. And then they'll be like, hey, you want to play on next Friday? And like, oh, man, I got to work. So you have to like make time. So you're like, this is going to be like a five hour commitment. Yeah.

So it becomes like an event. But it's fun when it actually happens. I also managed. I have a whole list of games that I played, but I feel like I should only focus on things that would interest you because I imagine you would like it more. First off, I got to see ion two. MMRPG, very eastern MMRP,

so every character is gorgeous, and it probably will be a little grindy. Here's what I'll say, though. I don't know if I lucked out, or I was just the first person, but when I went in to go check out the game, I was the only person that was in media there. Everyone else was a dev for the game.

And I sat down with them, and I got to ask them questions, and they showed me the game, and we went through it. Crendor, I think I like unlocked the code to like getting in good with this dev team because they're showing me all these like beautiful, you know, like Asian lady characters and like dudes like big jacked muscles. And I go, I turn around to the guy who's playing. I'm like, question, can I make like the ugliest thing you've ever seen?

And he was like, oh my God, yes, you can. I'm so glad I like making ugly characters too. And so at that point we're just like goofing around. And I was like, oh my God, I'm making a dude who's just so ugly little. looking and I was like will the textures mess up like will my armor not fit they're like no no everything's designed to fit everything you can like make whatever you want I was like yes so I really want to make like a big ugly gringis I'm so excited uh yeah it looked really fun for free to play MMO it's definitely worth checking out when that comes out um then I also played stuntman which I

don't know if you ever play these games but literally you're stuntman for like a movie but you race cars or whatever. I don't know how to describe it, but I loved it. Because each mission is like, okay, you're on the set of Fast and Furious and you're in a car and we need you to hit these marks. So you have a director telling you what you need to do

while you're driving. And it's so charming where it's like, okay, I'm going to need you to jump this ramp and hit this thing at the four second mark and then do one drift into the cop car while avoiding the boat. And I'm like on it. And it's great.

It might have been some of the most fun I had the entire time there and I don't know why. It's not something that's always on my radar. I don't particularly need to stuntman. But when I played that, I played it to a level where I was like, hmm, I only got seven out of ten stars in this mission. We got to replay it.

I just kept doing it over and over. I was having a blast. It was a ton of fun. Damn, that does sound fun. And then I played Turok, the new Turok game that is three player. Here's what I'll say about that. and this isn't a knock on Turok.

If anything, I think it's exactly what we're looking for. I want to play it with you because when I played the demo, I played with these two British girls who, by the way, both smoke shows. Like just, I don't even know how to just. Absolutely great. But when we played, they, one of the girls, so you basically, you can pick your character,

but then each character has like sets of loadouts. And one of them is a tank set. And so she picked the tank set. So when random dinosaurs and shit are attacking her, she's screaming like, it was so funny, dude. It was a treat. But the thing that I realized while playing it, and this is why I want to talk about it with you, even though it is like one of the most high quality type of games I've played in a while,

it had the exact same vibe as that 2012 game we played. Oh yeah, Revelations 2012. And I really want to play it with you because it is. the exact same vibe. Yeah, I'm watching the thing you have. It does kind of have that same vibe. I get what you're talking about. Yeah, like, it's obviously there's more quality and more time and a bigger team and stuff. But for some reason while playing it, I felt right back in Revelations 2012.

There was something very wholesome that I loved about it. I was like, oh my God, I got to tell Crendor, this shit will be so funny to play. Absolutely. Listen, I'm out of all the games still, my favorite remain pixel roglights. And there's people I've seen. There's people in chat being like, not more rogol. lights, but like, dude, they're not, that's not me. I'm all about the roguelights. Oh yeah, I saw the new Road the Empress things out. I got to play that.

Oh, yes, I already started playing it. Big fan. Big fan. It is, it is everything I remember and more to the point where I think it's longer and more insane stuff happens. Like I started playing, I will say, the amount of man slowly turns to camera and there's like a filter on it and the music is like this like dramatic piano music as he sort of like sexy stares at the camera is so high and I think it's hilarious. All right. Yeah, because it's, uh, have you been souped yet?

No. I, for Dodger, I think, chat said she completed the game with like 60 some deaths. I haven't died once yet, but I'm only two hours in. Wait, Dodger already beat the second one? Mm-hmm. She grinded it. She, like, did it in two days, I think. Yeah. Oh, my God.

Yeah. I did two hours and I didn't die once, but I'm not sure I made all the right choices. I definitely have some interesting things happening where I'm like, oh, but I haven't died because I'm still in my mindset of like, F everyone. And it's working out really well. It's doing good things for me. Well, that's good. Yeah. Yeah, I'll probably start trying that soon.

because I feel like now I kind of understand more. I think I can do this. I think I can die less than Dodger. Although I think I died less than Dodger last time, but I'm not sure. We'll see. We will see. Let's see. What did I write down?

I think I wrote down. Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you, I don't think I brought this up. But when I went to Taco Bell like a month ago, I meant to, I don't think I talked about it. I may have mentioned this, but if not. Okay. I pulled up. I was like,

hey, I have a mobile order. Which, by the way, I hate when you pull up and they have that, like, automated shit that's like,

would you like to use your mobile app today for points or that? I'm like, no. And then someone always just cuts into it because, like nobody uses that shit. There's like,

here we are. Or, wait, what's going? And I was just like, I have an order. And then there's like, good,

we've been expecting you. Whoa. Whoa. Wait, what? Yeah, and I was just like, uh, okay. So I pull around and I'm waiting. I'm like, dude, did they like poison my food?

Am I going to die? Uh, and then the guy comes out with the food and he's like, hey, sorry, that was kind of creepy. I thought it'd be funny, but I realized it sounded more weird than funny. And I was like, it's all good. And he gave me the food and I left. I just, I kind of love it. I wish more people would have fun like that, but he is right. That's not what you want to hear when you order food.

But I will say, it's just like when we start an episode and you go greetings. Yeah, it was like that. It was very much the same core as that vibe or same vibe as that. But it was like, I don't remember if I told that story. I think I meant to tell it. And then I didn't. So there it is. Weird Taco Bell occurrence.

Also, dude, I didn't realize. I went to Costco today because I got wine there. dude I've been sleeping on Costco wine not like of all the things I thought you would say in life I never thought that would come out of your mouth well not like the actual like Costco brand wine which like maybe it's good on though but they have like

actual good labeled wine that's just like $20 cheaper than what it normally is Costco isn't something to sleep on it's just a pain in the ass but it's yeah it's fun yeah because I was just like like, dude, I've seen this wine before. It's like 40 bucks. And they got it for like 1999. I was like, you kidding me?

It's crazy. So I was just like looking at all that. They had like one. It was like $14. Normally it's like 38. I was like, dude, this is I'm going to buy my wine here all the time.

But then, yeah, the downside is you have to go to Costco. Yeah, you have to like suffer through Costco to get access to any of the deals. But yeah, look, sometimes I'm there.

I've said before. I will, these days, the gas, I can't beat that. Considering how expensive it is Costco gas, that's a winner. That's true.

Yeah, but the thing is like the amount of time you're waiting in that line, you probably waste gas waiting to get the gas. Mm-hmm. Yep. Oh, I'm aware. Let's see, what else? Oh, yeah, I was going to bring up yesterday.

We were talking about imaginative versus creative. And I was thinking, what? Because someone was like, I'm not really creative. And I was like, well, I feel like everybody has creativity in them. But then I was like, well, what's the difference between that and imaginative? Because to me,

imaginative is kind of like what we talked about years ago with like being able to envision shit in your head. But you said you can't do that. And so I was like, you still do creative stuff. So it's like you can be creative without being imaginative. I mean, I have an imagination. I think it's just the picturing of it.

Yeah. That makes any sense. Like I can imagine things. I just don't visualize them. That doesn't make sense to me. I mean, I think that's because you associate imagination with the idea of, like, visualizing it in your head, this thing. Like, if I were to imagine Blorphus, the goblin king of the Southlands, I could sit here and describe him to you and talk about it or whatever. And we could draw a picture. And I'd be like, yep, that's what he looks like. but I wouldn't close my eyes and be able to be like,

ah, yes, I see his, you know, torn clothing and his ragged beard. Like, I wouldn't be able to do that. That's crazy to me. But it doesn't change the fact that I literally just said he had torn clothing. Like, I created this character just now. I just don't visualize him. But would that be more creativity then and less imaginative? Well, I use my imagination to create him.

I think it's because I tie imagination into visualization But then because then I'm like Well if it's not visualization It's just kind of what is I don't know Sure I mean I just think that You can have both I can be creative and imaginative

Without visualizing the thing Now do I think if you can visualize it You're probably better off yes If you can be creative and imagine a thing And then see it in your mind's eye know your final objective, then yeah, I feel like you're probably better off than me, for sure. I guess you can create stuff because like when you're like, it's Glorpus, the South Goblin Kay, like you're just kind of saying stuff, but you're not envisioning it in your head as you're

saying it. I mean, like, I know what I want him to look like. I just can't envision it on my own, if that makes sense. Like if you came in and you drew me a thing or you envisioned it and then you described it, I could tell you like, oh, I would change this and I would change that, like that kind of thing. Yeah. No, that makes sense. I get what you're saying now. I think I'm piecing it together because when I was talking about it, I was talking about my writing.

And there's people like, you should do outlining. You should do this stuff. And I was like, well, my writing style right now is like, I'll write stuff. And I guess I'm like doing that aspect of it or I'm just like blah, blah, blah, blah. This would do this. And then I kind of go back over it and I imagine it in my head and like visual. it playing out. And then I'll be like,

uh, actually that's kind of weird or like, I don't know how that would play out or I don't like that. And then I change it and then I kind of reimagine it visually in my head. I think maybe that is a benefit you can have is being able to imagine the outcome in your head and see it. But also I think a benefit for me is that because I can't, I'm more willing to just do a thing.

Yeah. Because that's the only way I'll know what the outcome will look like. That's true. Yeah. Because you have to do that in order to get the visualization. Yeah, in order to even understand that I have to do it. So then any visualization I do have is because of the previous encounter or the previous thing. Yeah, that makes sense.

Is it the same? I mean, each one has like pros and cons. It's like even with being more imaginative and I'm like, yeah, I can envision shit and see all that. But at the same time, when something bad happens, I can envision all the terrible possibilities where I'm like, oh, yeah, I can picture like. Like I remember being a kid and I'm like I can picture my parents in a car crash and they're like burning Because it's like dude I can envision that but that's like a bad thing to envision like I don't want to Yeah, you don't want to yeah, so it's you know I mean it's like anything. It's all pros and cons But when I say I envision stuff I guess it's kind of like the apple where it's like how clear do you see the apple like right now if I envision an apple

It's like uh I don't even see it in color really it's like the I'd probably be on like the three. But if I'm tired, it kind of goes up for some reason. I don't know if my body's like prepping dream lane or something. So I'm more like able to do that. And then if I've popped like some sort of, you know, edible thing, dude, I'm like,

I hit like the max scale. There's been times where I'm about to go to bed and I've like done that and I lay down. I can see in like 4K. If I'm like there's a goat on a mountain, it's like I'm like envisioning the dreams, which sounds like we're on Chaluminod. I will say that sometimes, big same, by the way, I think if I like take an edible, I can lay down, if I close my eyes, in the darkness of my eyes, shape, start to form.

Like, I will try to perceive the room I'm in, which is very boring. I know it's not really using my imagination. With my eyes closed, I'll try to like see the room I'm currently in and be like, oh, the night stands over there and I'll try to like visualize it. That's the closest I can get. Interesting, okay. So it's like by doing it's like you're waking it up a little bit. You're waking up your senses of internal visualization. I always wonder if that's like a structural thing in the brain or if it's more like something that some people just have more access to than others. Or like that part of the brain just fires off more or something.

It is interesting. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, it also could be that I did this to myself. Like maybe I didn't want to visualize things that I wouldn't like. So I turned that part of me off. Like, dude, I don't know. Because I obviously as a kid, I clearly did. And then I just at one point didn't anymore.

A lot of times when you're an only child, I feel like that's when you get the most overactive imagination. Because you're always like playing with, you know, you're like the only person you're playing with. So it's just like you're running around like, woo, making my own adventures in my head, doing my own thing. Well, like a lot of times if people have siblings or stuff, they're probably less likely to do that. So I was found it interesting that even though you were an only child, you like didn't do that as much.

Or maybe you did, but just in your own way. I mean, I definitely as a kid would go in my room. I like literally would cut out images from Nintendo Power, like Mega Man characters, and play with the paper like they were toys. Oh, okay. I was imagining things and doing stuff. I think honestly at some point I probably was like, I don't want to be weird. And I probably killed that part of myself like an idiot.

Because it's certainly not helping now. That's for sure. Maybe that's one of the reasons you're less nostalgic and stuff. Because like when I get nostalgic, even for like certain things where I'm like, oh man, remember this thing. Like I can picture those memories like very clearly in my head. So it's like, I think that.

amplifies the memory too where I'm like oh yeah I remember this like thing from walking home from school one day and that I have no problem picturing like very easily so I don't know if that's because it's like your brain values that more so it like keeps

that there and it has like easier access to recall it and paint the picture in your mind I don't know I don't know your brain works this shit's wild I was what I was next you know well I'm glad you did once again I question everything about myself. Yeah.

Yeah, no problem. You're welcome. You're welcome. Thanks. But, you know what I wouldn't question? Meandies. Look, there's a certain confidence that comes with no one you look good even before you leave the house. Meundies gets that, which is why, with their contoured pouch and ball caddy, and all the

other great fits, they know there's going to be something for you to get your dress looking good in the undergarment department because let's be clear before you put on all the other clothes looking good in your undies is the way to go man you got to feel good feel like you got everything under control like you're dressed for the moment and since summer is right here and it's getting hotter and hotter clothes are getting lighter and lighter and what's underneath matters more than ever meundies are breathable they're buttery soft they got that micromodal which still don't know how it works it's like magic magic magic for your touch And the best part is they come in styles and cuts for everyone.

Around those little scooters Pretty much always It's just like Kids That are riding around those scooters and the little mini bikes. I'm like, dude, that's got to be some sort of accident waiting to happen. But, um,

in fact, it definitely is. There's, I've heard there's like doctors like, yeah, those kids will fall up those things and like break their teeth and get a concussion or something, but, uh, either way, that's the traffic back, dude. Okay. All right. Let's go to

weather. Woo, woo, woo, foo, foo, foo, foo, we've landed on the weather for a vestus Sweden, home of the world's biggest Dala horse, also home for big population of European Bison. How do you spell just Dala horse?

Oh yeah, that's what it is all right. Dalla Host. Dalla Host. I've never seen this before. Oh, they're very cute. Currently, in a Vesta, we've got actually I'll Woppey activated.

He said partly cloudy. Yeah, that guy, he's called a part. Yeah, I really got to tune him up. But the parts cost too much now. It's tariffed and everything. Yeah. Yeah, he's got to let it happen. Let's see. What does this place look like? Well, it looks kind of like one of those towns that's on the edge of a national park. but I also don't know the park situation in Sweden because it almost all looks like a national park. Yeah.

But it's, I mean, it's a town, and it's very cute. But like, also it's right on the edge of forest. But also, maybe that's everywhere in Sweden. That, honestly, yeah, it probably is like everywhere in Sweden. I clicked on EMC Pizzeria HB, otherwise known as Pizzeria. Tahrina Torino Ochsch. And I'm scrolling through and there's no pizza. I saw that.

Most of it is like Greek food. Yeah. Oh, there's one pizza and it looks very mediocre and kind of. Yeah, there's a who said pizzeria. And, you know, I mean, they got burgers and wraps and exactly one photo of pizza. which I think I mean if you just sell pizza do you have to call yourself a pizzeria in Sweden?

Man that might be by law Oh yeah What the? You think there's a lot of Greek immigrants That are doing because this isn't this is not Italian Hold on there's a Roma pizza There's so many pizzerias here The other one pizza's got fries on it

Maybe I'm just missing out But none of them look like Restaurant and restaurants There's one place Uh Mass grillin that actually looks like it's a restaurant that you could walk into

but interestingly enough also looks like Greek food a lot of Donner kebob places around here. What is that about? Why is there's most of the restaurants in the city are just selling kebab based foods. Okay there's a place called

King Arms I Vesta A.B and it looks like an actual bar restaurant and it looks they got some fancy stuff. It was like burger, but then they still, it still has that vibe of like fast food kebab shop, but like a fancy version of it. Yes.

Yes. I mean, there's a bunch of restaurants across the street. There's Vega Pizzeria. And that, the very first image is of what basically is multiple, I'm going to assume kebab-based foods with French fries in the middle. Yep. Then there's a toku's, uh, otoku sushi, which is a sushi restaurant, and it does have sushi. Okay, I was genuinely worried I was going to see a bunch of kebabs.

Yeah. But it's sushi, we're good. All right. There's another, wait, there's two sushi places right next to each other. Oh, yeah, I see that. Wait. And then another kebab place. Hold on.

Go slightly southwest of that by Bella Knott or whatever. there's a place called chicken wow and you have to click on it chicken wow okay now we're getting chicken wow the mascot looks great honestly except for the insane toppings on the pizza is the pizza looks good

it says American pizza that's not American pizza if you were to remove the toppings it looks like a normal cheese pizza it does yeah I guess that's the thing they're going for but yeah that's it's still not

but still All the things I'm looking at are very like Greek-inspired-ish. It's so, I will say the Google Maps is not doing us a service because the more you scroll down, the more you notice there's other things. Yeah. And most of what we got originally was like, I don't know, there's definitely places here. Okay. I thought there was like eight restaurants in the entire town.

That's a lie. There's plenty of stuff. Yeah, I don't know why it's not showing a lot of them. Yeah, neither do I. I don't know why it's like there's, but I will say the more I look around, the more seeing a lot of kebab stuff. Is that just a thing that Sweden loves is the kebabs? Look, I get it.

They're delicious, but I don't understand. I don't know a lot of Europe those. Ooh, all right. I found a place that could be fun. The burning duck. Yeah, it looks like a kind of like a very small hole in the wall cafe with various foods. But again, wraps. Yeah.

Fascinating. I don't understand. I just don't. I would love to know more of why that's the case. It's got to be a reason. There's Mel's bakery. They got bakery stuff. Oh, I mean, like, look, let's be very clear.

There's a reason I'm not bringing up bakeries, because every time we do, and we talk about somewhere overseas, they're always gorgeous and amazing and look delicious. Like, that's, of course. I'm trying to find the place that is, like, going to be the weird thing. I see.

Okay, I found this might be in a mall. It's like east of the burning duck right next to it. And it's just like a big, Oh yeah, there's like H&M KX. There's a place called Unamas of Vesta. That's like the fanciest food I've seen. Okay, now I've got to find that. And I think it's like a,

I thought it was Mexican food, but then at the same time, it's kind of like fancy Mexican food. I mean, like there's also like a northern area. I don't know if that counts. But again, a lot of pizzerias up there. I just, I always expect numerous pizzerias when we look at any place. over here.

It's very strange to me, but I guess like, you know, that's what people never mind, I found a Burger King, we're good. The day is saved. Day is saved. America has taken over. We're back, baby. Yo, there's one place that I'd actually want to go visit

because it looks like a whole experience. It's MNJ Matzilar A.B. Restaurant Dalla Haaston. Boy, butchered that. It looks like a buffet. A hell did you just say to me? But also they have like, I don't know, like a deli? It looks like an experience.

It has a full cafe. You're like walk around and pick out things. Like, honestly, that'd be a fun experience. I mean, that does sound good. Especially since I have no idea what half these foods are. Also, I think it's right next to the giant horse. Giant horse. Yeah, the one that you were talking about,

that they're known for. Oh, yeah. That's right. The comment that said that. Oh, this is interesting. From what I can tell, this place, this restaurant is right next to a factory outlet mall. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, that would be the mall.

That'd be the mall. All right. Cool. Oh, yeah. There's the horse. I see it. Yeah, the horse. And then it's right next to it.

Yeah. Well, you know. Uh, and that's. The weather. All right, let's go to sports. Sports. Currently in sports, we got game five tonight of the Knicks Spurs after the Spurs literally shit themselves last game.

So that is currently the Knicks are up three to one. Spurs are one to three. Then we've got the Bop, bop, let's see, hold on MLB standings, which currently we got. the Yankees up top, the rays right behind them, half a game back. You got the Guardians in first with the White Sox half a game back. You got the Meritors with the athletics and the Rangers right behind them. You got the Braves.

You got the Brewers in first and the Dodgers in first. And over in hockey, we got the Stanley Cup. and that's currently 3 to 2 with the hurricane on top of the Vegas Golden Knights so that could be could be decided the next game. Carolina might win but we'll see and then oh yeah the World Cup

got the World Cup going on currently in that we have let's see Mexico is 1 and 0 South Korea is 1 and 0 I guess they all just started so it's not It's nothing great. The United States is one in those somehow. And that's literally it's so far.

But we also got a couple games going on right now, but they're all tied up at one. So I don't know how many games are there in the World Cup? Great question. I do not know. I guess we could look it up. I will say the other day when I was going to this Square Innix cafe, they have in L.A. now,

it sent me the most ludicrous way to get there. and I couldn't figure out why until I got on the highway and literally, I don't know how people are getting to these games. Like the traffic was so bad and all the signs were like, don't drive,

take public transit. I was like, in L.A.? It must be bad. So, yeah, it took me the craziest route to get downtown.

A route I've never taken before. And I was like, oh, right. Every major road leading in and out of downtown is a complete mess right now. Understood. Yeah.

That's, uh, wait, places have the World Cup. It's like there's Atlanta, right? And then L.A. How many places? Oh, it's all over.

It's like South America. It's all over the place. The videos of, what was it, the Korean team or the Korean fans and the Mexican fans dancing to Gundam style in Mexico is hilarious. I love that. Oh, yeah. Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, L.A., Miami, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia,

San Francisco, Seattle, Mexico City, Monterey, Guadalajara, Toronto, and Vancouver. Yeah. I mean, all right. I'm fine with it. I think it's neat that they're doing it all over the Americas. It is interesting to see the way here. And, you know, like, if you're down near the event area, all the signages like, World Cup for maybe like three blocks. but beyond that, you would not know what's happening in L.A.

There is nothing in L.A. that says the World Cup is here. There's just nothing unless you're right in the immediate area of the event, which is I think it says a lot about soccer culture here is that, you know, most people don't care. Yeah, that's why I'm so surprised that they are doing that because it's like, like, we have a World Cup game in, like, Kansas City. I can almost guarantee nobody cares in Kansas. city about the world come.

Yeah, yeah. So it's like, I don't know. But whatever. Uh, and that's sports. Okay. What is our fact of the day? Fact of the day. It's the fact of the day. It's the fact of the day.

Um, that was a new song I invented. It was pretty good. Yeah, it was pretty good. It wasn't great. It was pretty good. Yeah, this is pretty good. Let's see, we've got board games can reduce your risk

of dementia. Monopoly, scrabble, risk, take your pick, board games can keep your brain healthy as you age, protecting your brain from cognitive decline and reducing your risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia. I feel like those are just any games, like video games are probably included. Using your brain,

right? Like using your mind to do stuff, sure. Can you believe that using your brain helps your brain not deteriorate? That's crazy. How dare they? Yeah, but such controversial things. I mean, watch out for the youth with their brain rot.

You're just the constant or YouTube short TikTok brain rot and in addition to AI doing everything. They might be the most, they might get dementia by the time they're like 25. You know, let's hope not because they'll be running

stuff here pretty soon. So that's not great. I mean, that's not true. We'll keep running the world with like an 80 year olds. You're actually right. You know what? I was hoping for the best there, honestly. Yep.

You know what? At this point, I would take like 50 year olds instead of like 90 years. I really would. I'd be fine with a bunch of 50 year olds taking over because these 80 year olds ain't doing it. Yeah. In fact, they're older than 80. That's real.

So there you go. Use your brain, everybody. That's back then they. Okay, who has come to us with tears in their eyes? Dear illustrious sirs with tears in my eyes, the dirt of penance upon my knees and my spirit thrown asunder and absolution. Mama Mia. I ask you, if you had a fighting game with a roster of characters based around your podcast characters,

Green Cheetah, Tito Watts, Guy Hero, etc. Who would be your main and what would their respective fighting style and special move be, finisher? All right I mean like the Grey Storm His final move is called Apathy and he literally You do like a 23 thing combo And then he just walks away

That's pretty good He like gets ready He does a bunch of moves And it's like you do all these combos And he goes All right well I'm done Like just leaves the field That's it done

And it's like Grey Storm wins That would be fantastic I would probably want like the Yule lads. And I think it would kind of be like how there's like some characters in fighting games where it's like the lost Vikings. You have like a few of them and they can like team up to do various things. Maybe you even had like multiple options to combine into like a group of three. And then they would just like stack on top of each other or like throw spoons at you like lick you.

And then the ultimate would be summoning the Yule cat. And he would be like, bra. You'd like attack everything. I like this very much. Yeah, I'd love that one. Although green cheetah would probably be number two. Just casting spells. Yeah, but it would be like,

Al-Aquadol, everybody. Yeah, she's like a little tiny, like, sorceress. But for people who are wondering, no, she's not wearing green and no, no cheetahs are involved. I want people to question everything about her. Yeah. She summons gum that sticks you to the spot. Yeah, yeah.

You're stuck to the ground. I definitely feel like, you know, Guy Hero obviously would be our title character. He's like a Ryu. He has all the standard issue abilities. They go. You got Florida man, obviously. He flies in. Yeah, he flies in.

He flies in on like an eagle, a bald eagle. And then he's got a, you can also ride on a crocodile. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Surf around. Newport Ritchie is his like, And back to that Ken, it's Ken and Ryu. Newport Ritchie is just like Florida man, but he's the evil version.

Yes. And then his ultimate is he just like pulls out a cigarette and he's just like, but then he throws it at you and lights it on fire and it's just like, everything explodes. I love that. I love that. Yeah. That'd be sick.

It'd be a great fighting game. It's already a solid fighting game. I'm not saying that I got reached out to by these guys who made. hot sauces. They were like, hey, do you want to make Cox and Crendor hot sauces? And I was like,

yes, send me hot sauce. So they sent me a bunch of hot sauces and I picked out three I really like and I feel like we should name them after characters from. Like, there should be a Newport Ritchie one or maybe like a guy hero or a gray stuff.

Like, we'll look at them. But basically they sent me a bunch of hot sauces and I was like, I want ones that actually have flavor, not just like mess you up hot. So I picked three that I think I love very much. and yeah, we'll see. We'll see what happens.

Yeah, that sounds great. So there we go, that's that one. Dear Lesterius, sirs, I come to you with tears in my eyes and time not on my side. What's something you really would like to get into or learn but don't have the time? I would love to actually learn the guitar. Like when I was a kid, I tried, but I didn't have the time or the energy or the mental fortitude to keep practicing. And now that I'm older, I definitely don't know the time, but I'm, I definitely think I have the like capacity to practice.

Like before practice sucked. But now I'm like, I would love to do that. I just don't have the time. But I would love to play a guitar. I think that'd be fun. Not like a band or anything, but just be able to do it. It's funny because I was going to go with the musical one as well. But I was going to say I would love to become like a DJ.

Okay. With like my EDM like trains music. I would love to just do that. But like, I've tried it a few times. and I'm like, dude, this shit's hard. It's like, I know the things I want to make. And it's just like the process of creating them. And you got to know like beats per minute and like actual stuff about music and like notes.

And like, I'm just like, dude, I'm not good at this. Or if I wanted to get good at it, it would just take so much time. And I'm like, whatever. I don't care. But maybe one day. Maybe one day. I think that's part of it is it's just like a lot of, uh, you know, I've only I had the time to do that thing.

Yeah, that definitely is a big thing. Because I've like, I already got so many other things that are taking my time. Like I'm on top of the YouTube streaming. I'm also doing Warhammer stuff, which is like a big hobby. It takes a lot of time. And then there's doing my writing.

So I'm like, oh, I got to write if I want to do that. So those are kind of already taking my time. And that's the Dear Lustreus, sir. Okay. What is our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day. Dumb, dumb. Um,

this one's from a couple months ago, but I don't think we talked about it, and it's kind of insane. Uh, Trio sentenced over bear costume insurance fraud scam in California. What? Yeah.

Three people in California have been sentenced for insurance fraud in a scam that involves someone dressed in a bear costume damaging luxury cars. Following a California Department of Insurance Investigation dubbed Operation Bearclaw, three Los Angeles area residents pleaded no contest to felony insurance fraud and were sentenced to a weekend jail program followed by probation. Two of them were ordered to pay more than $50,000 in restitution. A fourth person faces a court hearing in September.

the California Department of Insurance said the defendants used a person in a bear suit to stage fake attacks on high-end vehicles including a Rolls Royce and two Mercedes in 2024. What do you mean fake attacks? I don't understand this scheme. The cars must have the insurance and then they pretend a bear attack the car to get insurance money, I think. But the California Department of Insurance said the defendants, uh, all right, I said that one. They said, what may have looked unbelievable turned out to be exactly that. And now those responsible are being held accountable, said the insurance commissioner

Ricardo Lara. My department's investigators uncovered the facts, exposed this scam, and helped bring the defendants to justice. Insurance fraud is a serious crime that drives up costs for consumers and no scheme is too outrageous for us to investigate. After the fake attacks, the defendants submitted fraudulent claims seeking payouts from insurance companies. there it is. Um, although the last people I care about are insurance companies. True.

Alifia Zuckerman, 39 of Valley Village and Ruben Tamraezy in 26 and Vahi Murdochanian 32 of Glendale pleaded no contest to felony insurance fraud sentenced to 180 days in jail, served through a weekend jail program, two years of supervised probation, and pay money.

The investigation began after an insurance. insurance company flagged a suspicious claim tied to January 28th, 2024 at Lake Arrowhead. The suspects claimed a bear entered their Rolls Royce ghost, caused interior damage and submitted video footage to support the claim. No, stop, stop. And the photos, it's going to be a man in a bear suit. Hold on, here you go.

Here's no, no. The claw damage and then here. Law bear Oh my god There it is So for people who are curious The claw damage Looks like

Not a bare claw damage But like someone took Five knives And drag them Literally parallel to each other Across this car A thing that a bear Would not

Bear Claw monks would not look like that And then when you see the actual bear costume, how anyone would think that's actually a bear is hilarious, but more importantly, they literally took those if you like went to a Buckees and you saw those guys making meat sandwiches and they cut up the meat

with those two like hand carver things where you put your hands through it and makes like claws, that's what they use to mess up this car. Yeah, they're just like shitty Wolverine claws. Yes, and like a genuinely terrible bear suit. Yeah, like

that's barely a Halloween costume. Like, it's... I mean, looking at this image of the damages, I would have questions. Because it literally looks like someone like

something not animal damaged it. Yeah, exactly. So I understand why they were like hmm, this is weird. Yeah, like a bear would probably like bend shit or like actually tear up the upholstery. Like something. This looks like just

scratches. Yeah. And they're just like, hey, we want like $50,000. Yeah, no, dude. Investigators uncovered two additional fraudulent claims submitted separate insurance companies involving the same date location tied to a Mercedes and another Mercedes. A biologist from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife reviewed the footage to further verify the deception and concluded the animal shown was clearly a human in a bear suit. Just imagine being a wildlife expert watching that and being like, uh, yeah. that's not a bear. I thought you were going to send me an image of the bear attack,

which would have been just a guy in a suit, beating up a car. There, there actually is a video. Oh, my God. Hold on. Here's the article. Just the,

they got it right there at the top. All right. They're showing damages of the car. Let's see the luxury bear. Oh, my God. That's just. It's kind of funny because, the person doing it is trying to do

like bear like movements it doesn't look like like a person because they're in the costume but I will say it also looks like a couple having sex in a car it kind of does yeah it's

they've got like some other angles if you scroll down to the oh my God the best the best part at the very end I'm going to say 37 seconds no bear is going to reach for the steering wheel with his hand. The bear, the guy the costume literally reaches out with his hand to grab the steering wheel. He does it like twice.

Yep. Yep. If you're going to crawl around to the car trying to be a bear, don't be like, and then the bear drove the car away. Yeah, that's, that's amazing. Yeah, that's, uh, that's definitely something. so the total loss

to the insurance companies was $141,000, $839. Bears are known to be a bit of a nuisance in California as a human encroaches into their humans encroached into their territory. They are frequently seen going for swims in backyard pools, hot tubs,

and have been known to break in the refrigerators and freezers. But yeah, that's that's that. That's a hell of a, you know what? honestly now that I've seen the video I love that. The video really does make it. It really

does. And that's the big news story of the day. All right, well that's it for us. Thanks so much for listening and watching and join this podcast. Crendor, I'm at him with the socials.
