Episode Date: June 29, 2026

The boys are back and this time Jesse is dealing not only with car troubles but with a computer that is dying. Either way it seems like he's going to have to spend money and he doesn't want to. Meanwhile has beef with credit cards and debt. Who doesn't man? Somehow this then leads into a conversation about being nice to people and then as always World of Warcraft.

Today's episode is brought you by Hero Forge. Hero Forge. It's got those awesome minis that you can make and make all your own, more importantly. And we'll talk about that, but let's jump into this podcast. So everybody, it's time for goes on Trend Dog. Let me sit, Trend Dog, in the morning. In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live.

In 4-hour 40 studio, recording. Record it. me wake your ass up in the Grendon in the morning Hello everybody, well-in-saddy episode of Gags and Grendor in the morning Yee-hee-he. The goblins are here.

They've always been here, man. That's true. It's hot goblin summer, 2026. Yeah. Yep, in the floorboards, in the walls. Oh, jeez. They're ever. You got an infestation.

You gotta fix that goblin infestation. Well, it's specifically of our podcast house. Right, right, right. Our podcast house. Yeah. Yeah. What's up? How's it going?

You know, I'm a little stressed. Everything, you know one of those like when it rains at poor situations? Yep. It's been a true. So I don't even want to talk about my computer yet because that's a whole thing. But my car, I went to this event. Speaking of goblins, I went to a relatively goblin-th-themed-gathering event. Filmed some stuff, did some things, can't really talk about it.

But it was in this place, kind of northish of where I am. Actually, more east than north, called Glendora. It's like almost right by the mountains before you hit the desert in California. And so I went over there. We went to this event And while I'm there My car Either someone backed into it

Or someone stole the front of my license plate I don't know But the bumper of my car The front of it was like They ripped out the bolts So I went to the local PD there Right And they were like nope

Can't come see us Because you live in L.A You gotta go to L.A. County PD So then I drove to L.A. To then go to a police station there And they were like, what? No, it's Glendora. It's like what? So anyway, after the back

and forth. I eventually had to drive back out to Glendora. And while out there, some kids on the street, I guess, threw a rock or shot a BB at my car. So there's like, I told you this. There's like kind of like a dent, but like a perfectly circular dent in the side of my rear right passenger door. And I'm like, cool, great. Thankfully, my insurance was like, don't worry. We'll cover at the front. It's all good. I'd filed the claim before someone shot my door, I guess. So I was like, like, can't double file because they'll start charging me extra because insurance is awful like that. So I take it to the place they say take it.

The guys there are like, yeah, don't worry, we'll fix it. It'll take a couple days. But they won't give me a car or anything. So I had to go to Enterprise rent a car to rent a car. And that cost me money. And I'm like, oh, my God. So then after a few days, I come back, get my car. front looks great.

I'm like, okay, great. Yes, by the way, this is Friday. I'm like, yes, thankfully good. I drive my car home and my right rear tire. I don't know what's wrong with it. It just starts deflating dramatically. I called the dealers and they're like, or not the dealer, but the, you know, the collision repair guys.

And they're like, uh, it was fine when we had it. So they're going to do one of those things where it's like, when you drove off, that's your responsibility. I was like, thankfully, these are brand new, these tires I got in April. These are brand new tires from April. So I was like, all right, so I'm scheduled an appointment to, I guess they're still under warranty. So I scheduled an appointment to go back to where I got the car tires from from Michelin. And now I'm like, all right. And they're like, yeah, we'll fix it.

But I have to go in Tuesday at 7.30 a.m. In order to get this done. So until then, I'm literally every time I go out to my car, refilling the air and the tire, like just to keep the damn thing afloat. That's just my car. That is one series of things just crumbling repeatedly. And then to make it even worse today,

I was like, you know what? I really want some In-N-Out burger. Man, I want, I'm going to go get a double meat, lettuce, onion, ketchup. That's all I wanted that burger. I'm gonna be so happy. I'm gonna keep it simple. And then I got a light pink lemonade,

which is basically like the sugar-free lemonade. And I like it because it isn't like super sweet or tangy. It kind of tastes like just like lemon water, which I'm fine with. And I got that. And I guess they didn't close the lid all the way. So when I put it into my car and went to turn, all of the lemonade spilled out into my car.

Dude, I was like, I like took a moment. I was sitting there in the parking lot of the In-N-Out Burger, and it just like took a moment to just be like, you know, I guess you could be dead, so it could be worse. I was like, all right, I need to, I'm like getting bombarded. I need to refocus because then also my computer is dying, question mark. Yep. Didn't you say you're going to run a memory?

test? I did. Yeah, last night when we watched Rumble in the Bronx, which by the way, lovely film. Yeah. I ran a memory test. I came in today, looked at the results. It was like, nothing's wrong. So I have no, I have no clue. I am one step further, I think, from where I was. I have no clue what's going on. Everything on my computer checks out is okay. However, nothing is working. Um, you should probably just like reseat the rain. I'm surprised you haven't reseated it yet. I, I mean, It said the RAM was fine. It said everything was fine.

Yeah, but it could still be like seated wrong, right? Like if you're just like pop it out, popping back in. I mean, I guess. Yeah, I guess I could. Or you'd like remove some of it and see if it's fine. That's probably the best way to do it. It's so goofy. I like genuinely don't understand what has occurred,

why it has occurred, what's going on. But yeah, everything seems to be falling apart. But everything checks out. Like all the number. are fine. Honestly, that's like the worst part of any type of computer thing where you're trying to figure out what's wrong. And it's just like, nothing.

Nothing's wrong. Everything's good. Something is clearly wrong. Like, the fact that my computer after like two or three hours starts to just chug. Yeah. And I was like, okay, is it a heat thing? Nope. It's like, is it a motherboard thing?

Nope. Like, all right. Is it a power supply thing? Nope. Is it the, you know. CPU, is it the GPU? Is it, nope. Like, oh, then it must be the RAM.

And the RAM was like, nope. Like, what do you mean? So that's where I'm at. And it's just, I'm constantly, I'm like, this close to having to spend money in either direction, either on my car. Because I'm worried they're going to be like, actually your tire's not covered under warranty. So I don't have to go buy. Or I'm at the buy computer stuff, which I don't want to do. Like, I'm just constantly in this.

actively about to get screwed, especially after paying a ludicrous amount of money to the government for taxes. And now I'm like, I just, I don't have, I don't have that money, guys, I don't.

So I understand. I, uh, yeah, I understand the money troubles. It's not fun. Yeah, money troubles suck.

There's somebody who's had numerous money trouble. Sometimes you're just like, man, what if I just kept playing Fortnite? You know? Yeah. Yeah. What if I stopped doing things I'd like and just started doing things that made money? I could have been living the high life, you know?

It had like some mega mansion and a butler name. Although with that said, dude, have you seen the footage of, oh, I don't know any of their names? I guess Ninja was playing with a bunch of people and he was being like really tryhardy and they all just roasted him. They're like, you're an old man, you got to stop. Like, you're trying too hard. Just have fun. The game's about fun. He's like, you can play the first five minutes.

It's incredible. That is pretty funny. I didn't see that. I was like, that's good stuff right there. Yeah, yeah. So maybe I would have turned into a little bit of a ninja

if I had stuck around with that and just been like intolerable. I mean, you know, if you had a company like mixer pay you like $30 million or whatever. Yes. I wouldn't care what anybody thought of me.

That's true. That's true. I don't, though. I sure you didn't. I don't have anything like that. Yeah. Now I did look up for you on a Reddit.com post from five years ago.

Is it possible? Five years, okay. Is it possible to pass the memory test and successfully or pass it successfully and still crash during a game or have bad RAM issues and someone said yes, different workloads, stress RAM and memory controllers

differently? Oh, stress RAM and memory controllers differently. depending on how aggressive your computer over clocks and various other things are. Memory sticks, added heat from your GPU, you can make it unstable. So yeah, even though you passed your RAM test, it still could be the RAM. Then how would I know what to fix? It's got to start like taking RAM out. Sure, okay, yeah, but if I take RAM out, then what?

When you test it. What do you mean? Okay, all right. there we go. So how many how many sticks do you have like two, four? Right now I have four and I have 64

gigabytes of RAM. All right. So like take two of those out and then try doing your stuff again. And if it breaks again then maybe replace those two with the other two and see if it breaks again and then if that keeps going.

Completely understood. I'm just trying to figure out which like which two what because here's my problem back in the day computers were a lot more complicated and ram if I recall and this hasn't been an issue for a while but the last time I had RAM issues was over a decade ago but it depended on what slots you pulled it was like well don't pull two back-to-back slots you have to pull one slot leave one then pull another one and then leave one if you have four in like that like there was a there was rules to it that seemed insane at the time but I just followed them and did it was told and

I don't know. I hate the idea they have to go look up more stuff. Just like I don't, I just want to play games. I just want to play games and make goofs. I'm not a tech guy. I don't want to do this. I hate this. Well, I think it's like, uh,

it's like this, yeah, the certain slot numbers matter. So according to this, it says the second slot away from the CPU, according to corsair.com. And then, uh,

if you have two six, what is that? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean?

What you just said was the second slot, according to Coursair, but then what? That's if you have one stick. Put it in the second slot away from the CPU. So technically I should remove the closest one. Yes. And then the third closest. Yeah. So if you have two sticks, you put them in slots two and four.

Right, right. And if you have, okay, all right, okay. And I will, I think I'll try to, I'll, pull the one that's closest to the CPU, leave the others, pull the third one, if need be, leave the others, and then go from there. I don't like this, but I'll do it. I can have three sticks, right? Like, I can do, what is it, what's between, what's just under 64?

Uh, 48, can I do that? I mean, I guess you could. It's probably better to test the lower amounts. first, I would say. Although it could depend on your motherboard. This says sometimes you want slots one in three, not two and four, depending on the motherboard.

All right. It's saying I can do it, so I think usually they mark it. Usually they mark it on the motherboard. Like what slot is the one? Yeah. They probably have it. It's probably colored or something. I don't know. I'll have to look.

I just don't, man, you know, like I just don't want But the good news is it has forced me to really plow through editing stuff just in case I have to wipe this computer and start over. So I'm doing a lot of that this weekend. It's been, stuff's getting done, I will say. Hours and hours and hours of footage is definitely getting edited through. Yeah, that's good at least. You know, it's something good from something bad, right? Sure, yeah.

The positives and the negatives. I have to. Otherwise, I would lose my mind. Again, I went and clocked how much it would be to make a PC. Literally, the same PC I have right now, and it would cost $10,000. You'd buy a car. That's crazy. The problem is, if I go on to one of those pre-built sites, I bet I could get one new and cheaper, but it wouldn't be exactly what I need.

I think that's the problem with a lot of those pre-built things is they're designed for, like, gaming or whatever. But they're not a lot designed for, oh, I'm going to stream and render video. Yeah. No, it's, I think a lot of them are just for playing games. And that's it. Yeah. Yeah. There's got to be one of those that it is kind of, you know, streamer friendly.

But then even streaming's different from rendering. Like rendering video takes a lot, especially Adobe. So I don't, I don't know, maybe. My hope is I can fix this. I don't, again, I. I don't want to spend money I most certainly don't have. Yeah. I have actively tried.

Like, I have credit cards like every other American who ever existed probably. I don't like using them. They're there just in case something happens. I need to like, you know, because when I was younger, all I had was when I taught, all I had was credit cards. Like I couldn't, I was constantly just repaying credit cards because I couldn't afford anything. A teacher salary is not great. So it wasn't until I started YouTube that I finally could pay off all of that.

And I never want to have that debt again. Being a debt sucks ass. And I never want to get back there. So that's where I'm at where I'm like, I don't want to spend money if I don't have to spend money. Yeah. No, that makes sense, especially after you've been through it. And it's just the, you know, it's like linger in there in your mind of just like, it's a slippery slope once you start. And it does affect you.

Like, you know, I know we talked about on here before. like money can't buy you happiness, but it definitely can remove stress. Let me tell you. Yeah, which makes you. Not having debt is like the biggest weight off your, like it feels like a different existence after that. You're like, oh my God. I don't have to think about it.

I don't think about like what the lowest payment I can get away with this month is. I can just exist. And so, yeah, no thank you. I don't like that. I'm to the point where I don't use my credit card so much that my credit card company, my bank had to be like if you don't use that we're just going to remove it and it will ruin your credit

so often I'll go out buy something with it and then immediately pay it off yeah that's really the way to do it yeah otherwise I would I know me I would just start using it and then I would it would just all right paid the minimum more good I can't do that anymore

so yeah no thank you I would rather I would rather never think about it again. Yeah. No, I use credit cards, but again, it's like, they've started creeping up, and then you start being like, uh-oh. Like, it's getting a little too high. The highest I ever had them was after my gallbladder surgery, where, you know, they're just like, uh, that'll be like, what, $8,000 on top of like all the other stuff. So it's like I paid those down. But then, you know, if you got some bad months or whatever and things start adding up and then, you know, pay your

taxes and everything and then you're like, oh-oh, it's creeping up again. So it just gets to the point where you're like, man, what if I just like, just focused on paying all these off and just never using them again? And that's the problem is in order to pay them off, either you either you take the credit hit of paying them off immediately. And then they're like, you paid them off too quick. We're going to dock your credit score, which is insane. Or you slowly pay them over time. But as you pay them over time, the interest on it takes longer. and longer and longer to pay off. The fact that when I was teaching, I had student loans.

And they were like $50,000 in student loans. Right. And my first year teaching, I started paying off my student loans. And my last year teaching, so three years later, I not only was still paying them off, but even though I had paid every month, the total amount was still roughly $49,000. Oh my God. because the interest was crazy so it would have taken me

decades to pay that off yeah no that's insane yeah like I will never like a as part of me I will never get back there like I would rather again walk into the sea and let the tide take me than have huge debt like that I just

would I just can't do it yeah that's especially when they just like they put that on you from such an early age as well yes yes it's like oh you want to make money, well, you'll start by being in debt. Like, oh, okay. That's great. Yeah. I don't, uh, anyone who, if you got that whole like, uh, student loan forgiveness

thing, bless, I'm happy for you. I, I do not like the people who are like, I paid off all my loans. You should be, you should have to pay off yours too. Like, yo, if I, if someone came in and gave me forgiveness on that, I'd be so grateful. No, I'm fine. Like, no, that's, I got out. Everyone should get out. It's terrible. It's a terrible place. to be. Plus, especially for a lot of the older people, like school and stuff used to cost way less. Yeah. How much was college in, I don't know, 19 or 1980? In 1980, 6,000. It was 3,100 for public institutions and 7600 for private institutions. I was right in the middle. Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah. So then by 1990, let's see, it pretty much dumb.

up to 15,000 and 60,000. I was going to say, yeah, my four years plus masters was roughly 50,000 in debt by the end of it. Yeah. That was at public schools. That wasn't private. Yeah. Yeah. Then by 2000, it was 12,000 and 32,000.

Good God. And then by 2010, I type it, 2100. In 2100, the price shall be $8 billion. Yeah, that was 17 and 42,000. So it's like, yeah, I don't, I mean, I got a lot of write-offs. I got a lot of grants. I got a lot of stuff that if I didn't have those, probably would be much higher. Like I had a Pell Grant.

I had all sorts of things. Like it would have been much higher to do it without any of those. So the fact that it was only 50 is, you know, I'm grateful for that, but still it was too much. As a teacher, I was teaching class, buying materials from my credit card. And then all of my money went to pay rent. Yeah, seriously. That's why when you get those people like, what's his name, Kevin O'Leary, where they're just like, eat a sandwich or some shit. It's just like how out of touch they are with reality.

That was 2007, eight, nine, ten. Yeah. That was 16 years ago when I was already struggling. Yeah, yeah. I can't imagine, like, I don't even, it's shocking to me. I can't imagine someone who's on minimum wage right now trying to live. No, yeah, that's actually insane. And it's just like, especially minimum wage.

It's like, you could probably make enough money to like barely pay your rent and then eat. That's like it. The minimum wage isn't like, oh, it's the least amount we can pay you. supposed to be the least amount you can live off of. Yeah. And if you can't live off of, if you have to have three jobs to live, that's, that's, something's wrong. Something's wrong there.

In fact, I just looked that up. According to Forbes, the average American credit card debt is roughly $6,700 per person or $11,500 per household. And that's on top of just all your other shit you're paying for. Yeah. I mean, if you are trying to pay that off, I imagine you're not paying a thousand bucks a month in credit card

and even then if you spend a thousand you're probably reusing that credit card for that 1,000 because you don't have it anymore. You know what I mean? I don't think that's a thing that happens. Usually you're paying like the $85 minimum fee.

Yeah. That's a thing I usually do with credit cards which is why I have a lot of credit cards but I don't use the ones that I'm like trying to. to pay off, although sometimes they'll just go up because I'll be like, I'm going to buy this and I forget.

But I'll like open a new one where it's like no interest for like 18 months. And then you just spend everything on that one and you pay off the other ones. And then by the time you've done that, you pay off that one. And then if you got more, you just put it on the another no interest one. So it's like even if you have credit card debt, at least you're not paying interest. See, that's the slippery slope for me. Because when I was younger, I did that. I literally did that.

And then it would just snowballed like it'd have one or two bad money. months or something would happen and I'd screw myself. So now I literally have the same two credit cards I've had for, I'm going to say 15 years and that's it. That's it. I will not do any others. They're all, both through my bank and then I have just my bank card. And that's all I'm rolling with. And I refuse to, I'm like, I can't. I keep getting offers like this insane high amount of credit. I'm like, no, no. What's insane is I have one credit card that is like it has $4,000. That's like the limit, which is ridiculous. What is the point of having that card?

But I'm like, you know what? I'm not going to mess with it. I'm not going to ask for more. I'm just going to hold it. Because I got that right about the time that I was absolutely getting screwed with credit card stuff. And so I think they were like, we're not going to give you money. And so I keep that card as sort of like both a reminder and as a, well, if I ever really need something. Yeah. Like RAM.

Yes. Yeah. Like if I have to actually go on buy RAM, it's going to be on that credit card. Yeah. Yeah. No, that makes sense. That's why I always, dude, whenever there's like rich people or even just the big streamers and YouTubers, they're just like, oh man. It's like, it's like, bro, you could just, they got like 10 cars. They got their giant mansion they stream from in like a one giant room that looks like a hotel lobby. They're just like, it's rough out here, man. I'm like, are you kidding? Yeah. they're living in their own world. I mean, it's all about, you know, your every day.

And I think a lot of people, when they get caught up in that, like, well, I made so much money, I had to buy this house. Otherwise, the government was going to take it. When you get to, like, that level of money, your view on reality alters. And I imagine the more money you get, the more altered it becomes until you become like Elon Musk.

And you are the biggest goober who ever lived on planet Earth, but somehow the richest. Yeah. Well, once it gets to that point, Because people are always like, you have enough money. Why do you need more? It's because it becomes like a big ego thing. It becomes like the keeping up with the Joneses.

Yeah, it's who you are. It literally becomes your personality. It's like when, oh, this happens all the time in L.A. When you meet like a beautiful woman in L.A., and I have many times, you realize that's it. That's their personality. Their personality is I'm beautiful. They got nothing else going on.

They're literally just, I'm beautiful. and all I do is be beautiful. It just looks maxing. And look beautiful and take photos beautifully. And whenever anything happens, I pose. And I do, like, I'm constantly on. That's it. That's all they got going on.

And I feel like the same thing with like a rich dude. Like, all I got is my richness. And if I don't have that, who am I? Yeah. Because it's just like, you know, I got like $8 billion in a yacht. But the guy that's owning this company's got $10 billion in two yachts. Like, I got to do better than that. Like, it becomes that.

that. It's like that with even YouTube and Twitch. Like the amount of times you go to a gathering and they're like, how many followers? How many subs? How many views? Like it's just that type of shit. That's why with like big streamers and YouTubers, they're just like, oh, this person's got like 8 million followers. And they're like, yeah, but I could have like 12. I think I learned early on that none of that really matters, mostly because, and this

reminds me of like the Yox cast and Marka Plyar and all of them, going back. and thinking about doing the podcast with TB and all that stuff and having a pretty big following early on and then watching these groups or single YouTubers, whatever, just soar past me. I realize at some point you can't be a dick to people that have less subscribers or views than you because at some point they may have more.

So you better kiss everyone's ass because you don't know who's going to be the big dog in the future. And that's, I feel like it's a life lesson that everyone should have, but it's very specific for YouTube and this where it's just like, I meet so many people I'm not going to be mean to any of them because I genuinely am like,

oh no, you'll be better than me one day. And honestly, it goes the other way too. I've seen people that are like, you know, millions of followers and like all this stuff. And you look now, they're getting like 120 views on their stream. And like their videos get like 4,000 views. And it's just like they have like 3 million subs

and like 1.2 million. Twitch followers and it's like 100 people watching. You're right? It's like they just, it all falls apart. Yeah, it's the, the world of fame is fickle. You see it every year at VidCon, I think it just happened, where people

go there and they're hot shit on like YouTube shorts or whatever, and then they're in the public and nobody cares. It happens so frequently, it's kind of sad. Dude, speaking of YouTube shorts and just shorts in general, oh my God, I forgot I had a rant. because like listen I do my YouTube more than Twitch now

primarily well I still do Twitch but I focus more on YouTube so I've been making my shorts I make like a couple shorts a week and they're just like clips of my main videos so for example I made which cities would I want to actually live in in World of Warcraft right

and I'm like oh I don't think I'd want to live in the under city it smells like a sewer and death right like who wants to live there that sucks so I did that and I was like oh I'll clip like like a couple things made in like a two minute short and then I'm like go watch the actual video at my main channel because it's like 40 minutes long the amount of people that comment on that

like where's the full video? And I'm just like what? Some guys like he said he's gonna do all the cities he only listed like three and then someone was like he mentioned that like the full video is on his channel and they go why not here? And I was just like holy shit.

Because it's shorts. I don't. That's it. It was just like the brain rot's insane. Like it's like, how do you not put that together? Like it's just crazy. And then like some people would just be like just making like blanket blanket statements. Like I made one video about wow immersion because I was like,

oh, I'm going to make a video about like why I think wow was more immersive back in the day. And I'm like, it's not that it isn't immersive now. I just think it was more immersive. And so I was listing all various things. And then people are just like, I'm tired of like this wow bashing video. stuff. I think they just meant like in general and I was like I'm not even bashing wow.

Like I'm like what? I'm like comparing and contrasting various topics on why I think it might be more immersive. I'm not saying the game is garbage now. I'm just saying like oh this is probably one of the reasons why. You said something not entirely positive

thus you are bashing because there is no critique anymore you either love something unconditionally or it's terrible and you must pick aside. Exactly. That is our modern society. It's like, it's essentially sports.

It's just like tribalism. It's also just lack of critical thinking and media literacy and all sorts of just skills you probably should have learned in school but just didn't. And it reminds me of, we watched the end of The Amazing Digital Circus for too old for this.

And the sort of online discussion around that ending, is very interesting because I was picking up all sorts of stuff and then once it was over I said I'm gonna go check and see what the internet thinks and I shouldn't have done that the finale for me felt very much like the lost finale where I understand the choices they made

I understand the symbolism they're doing but on like a technical level I just wish I had more answers right like I get that abstraction is a metaphor for suicide but I want to know what it is in universe like what actually okay what happens in the program then right like yeah they they program they don't kill themselves the programs don't kill themselves so what happens um and so like that kind of thing rose

it's very much smoke monster from lost like okay understand what we're doing but what is that thing or even like uh the when cane can can fix it like when someone gets like abstracted when they touch an abstraction like person he's like snaps his fingers and they're healed but then when someone is abstracted he just like throws him into the cellar or whatever so I'm like wait he can fix abstraction things like if they're still normal but he can't fully fix it

so like what? I just want to know yeah I was left with questions more logistical like nerdy questions than real ones that actually matter but I was fine with it as a show as an ending I was like all right I get the story they were trying to tell but online it is so clear

that some people are not able to get beyond the things they did not like. And most of it seems like self-inflicted wounds when you get down to what they're complaining about. It's like a lot of a, my fanfic and my ships and my, it wasn't what I wanted. It's a lot. Like the Jack's storyline is nuanced. Purposefully, it is a character who is revealed to be trans.

And because of their trauma in the past, it isn't a, positive story of someone coming out and being accepted by friends and, you know, growing as a person. It is a story of an asshole, a complete and total asshole who just also happens to be trans. And I feel like a lot of people on the internet were not ready for that. This is a character who is a dick to everyone and uses their trauma to make everything worse for everyone else. They're literally taking their trauma and putting it on everyone else. and that's not good and that doesn't make

just because Jacks went through some stuff doesn't mean that it's okay then to be an ass to other people and I was like if anything the most humanizing thing about this character is that it's this is a character who's portrayed as a normal character despite the revelation of them being trans

you know what I mean? Like the most human thing in the world is that some people are dicks and I was like actually I kind of like that about them but everyone's like well then why would they make it a trans character and this and this

I'm like, I feel like you're missing the point. It wasn't about the character being trans. It was about the character dealing with all this other stuff that resulted in them not, you know, coming to terms with who they were as a person. And so then they were just, they acted out terribly to everyone. That's a whole other beast of it. I was like, the internet's very strange. Yeah, exactly. Like it didn't matter whatever they're, whatever.

whatever they are, it's just like, they're a dick. Yeah, like, and that's, and that's, and the more the last episode went on, the more I was like, oh, I hate this character. The way Jacks treats others, I was like, oh my God, like this person, and in the end, still irredeemable. Will not apologize. We'll not do anything. And even though all these other characters were going out of their way to make Jacks feel heard and special and loved. And Jacks still rejected it. And I was like, there are people like that.

I feel like if anything, the lesson here is that there are some people in your life you're going to meet that no matter what refuse to change. And that's on them. And you can give them all the love in the world, but they're not going to change. They're not going to change, man. Yeah. And that's, you know, I agree with that. Like, it definitely is one of those things where it's like, yeah, you know, that's the way they are. But at the same time, I feel like I was waiting for that, like, kind of Jack's redemption arc of like, Jack's learned their lesson.

and they saved the day and, you know, they got abstract. But I guess, like, honestly, I don't mind the ending or, like, the way Jacks was written or anything. It was just, for me, it was just a lot of things that felt a little unfinished or, like, it was all kind of rushed. Which makes sense, because they probably got only nine episodes. They could have, they could have really, like, a season two would be beloved, but appears Gooseworks is just done. But, but I was, like, I think if the idea is, spoiler. If the idea is brain scans, right? Jacks was brain scanned on their worst day.

Yeah. So to me, it makes sense that this character would be the worst. Yeah. Because they were at their lowest. And it isn't that the person out there in the real world can't grow and change. They have, clearly. That's what we see. And they've become better.

It's just that this brain scan was of like, if on my worst day I got brain scanned, I don't know what. I would be. Yeah. It's yeah, it's interesting because it's like, does that mean that their brain scan really does kind of accept their worst day as their personality? Because I mean, your emotions are going to

shift. I mean, you have to imagine, yeah. Your emotions are still going to shift and stuff. Like, if it's staying the rest of your brain. So it's, does it like make you lean one way or the other? Like, if it's a bad day, it makes you lean more towards negativity. I don't know. I mean, this, again, these are all the technical things I wish to show like this would answer.

but it very clearly, again, much like Lost, the first half of the show seems like it's going to be all about these technical, weird, logistical, crazy things. And then the last half of the show, it's actually about feelings in these characters. Yeah. Again, it's pretty much just lost.

If you've ever watched Lost, that's what it is. It's just the first couple seasons are like, what is this mystery? And then it's like, well, the mystery isn't that important. It's the people that are important. You're like, okay. Same vibe. Honestly, that's probably my biggest issue with it is it almost felt like it didn't know what it was going to be about and then Gooseworks just decided on the way it ended.

Just be like, actually, let's make it about feelings and like this type of thing and like living in the circus. And that's fine. That's a fine choice. It isn't perfect. But I'll be real, most shows are not perfect. There are very few shows that end perfectly. That is, you know, I can't, I can think I can count on one hand in the last 20 years shows I consider perfect. Yeah, I do think if they had like one or two more episodes, it would have ended probably a little more structurally sound. Yeah, there was a lot of, there was a lot of things they did in this one that were clearly time constraint. Like the whole scene with Kane and it was past and future combined together.

Yeah. That was, I had to stop the video and like think about what was happening. That's how confusion was. Yeah. I was like, oh, that's what they're saying? Okay. Like, all right. Like, even, my thing was just like, what, like, so he didn't get deleted?

Like, was it like a fake deletion? I think they put him in the recycling bin? Like, I don't know, dude. Again, yeah, there's, again, logistics and that kind of thing is what I was like. I want more of that. But it is weird watching people online argue over it because most of the discussions aren't like there are many that are like that

where they're asking for like what happened here what happened here most of the stuff online is people upset that their head cannon or their head ship wasn't what either happened in the end or focused on in any sort of the amount of like people inserting

their own I don't even know how to describe it it's not their own beliefs it's almost like inserting their own anger or their own outrage into something that isn't even addressing that. It's like when you make a short where you talk about things you love and classic wow, and then people get mad at you because you're saying you don't like retail,

but you don't even mention retail? Yeah, it's like, again, it's like they're taking the premise of the video and ignoring it for their own narrative. And so it's like, well, I made this video that's all about why classic wow feels more immersive to me than retail. I mean, I don't like retail wow. I still play retail wow every week. I still, like, I still do shit, but I'm like,

I don't really feel it's immersed. And some people are like, it's because of the nostalgia. And I'm like, it's really not, because I just played classic wow, like, years ago when it re-released, and then I played it again last year for a hardcore classic wow. So, like, it's definitely not, because I'm playing it now and feeling more immersed.

So it's like, it's like, people are trying to solve, like, some of these issues with just like generic blank statements, which is what I hate. It reminds me of that video thing we watched for the old, too old for this with the like, everybody's feeling this way now, like that generic shit. Yes. Yeah, yeah. They're just like, you're just, you're feeling more sad and they're just like, it's because of this thing. It's like, no, it's definitely not. It's probably because of numerous factors

that play into the. Yeah, yeah. And the worst part is, is then the lesson in those videos was and that's good. It's good that you're feeling terrible. What do you mean? Like depression. That's good. Now that you're depressed, you can unlock another part of yourself. I'm like, that's not the lesson. Don't know.

What do you? That's crazy talk. And that's, I think the way people see a lot of stuff is like, now that I've reached my, I argue with everyone online for no reason, I can unlock another part of myself. It's like, I don't know. I also saw, speaking of digital circuit, there's a person that was like, Gooseworks is a terrible person because they wrote jacks which means that that's part of them and i was like what like actual insane logic of like you created this character in your imagination so that means

that you have that as a part of your personality which makes you terrible like that's insane loops or hoops to jump through it's the same as the people who yelled at uh oh i told me the actor's name, but Joffrey. Oh yeah. Because they thought they, the young man was this actual asshole. Yeah. Like it's crazy. So I was like, no under Gooseworks

was like, I'm done with this shit. I would imagine after the money they, I believe, had to have made. That movie made a ton of money at the box office. I too would be like, you know what? I don't need y'all. I don't need all this stress.

Everyone comes at me and I just want to make a show. I'm going to take my money. I'm going to go live my life. Yeah. And it's, again, this is always like the probably vocal minority. Because there's still plenty of people that are watching it. Oh, for sure. This is great.

You know, it's like anything, right? Most of the comments I read are just like, yeah, that's a good point. Right? But it's just that's that bottom one or two percent that are just like, eh. It's like, all right. Some people are so happy in their misery. and they need others to feel the same.

Yeah. Or it doesn't justify their constant anger and outrage. And I, again, like I was saying during the video for the Amazing Digital Circus, when Jacks is awful to everyone, I was like, I personally would walk away from this person and never deal with them again. Like, I don't need you. I don't need this drama. I don't need none of this.

I'm not trying to be your friend if you are going to be this terrible of a person. But then I was like, however, if I'm trying to be this terrible. wrapped in a situation with you like this. I have no choice but to. So I'm going to try my hardest to be like a good person. So I understand why these characters are doing this. But if this was in any other scenario, I would be like, you suck.

Like you're a bad person and you know, you want to push people away? Fine, bro. I'm out. Like, I got no time for you. You win. You got me. Bye.

Yeah. And I mean, a lot of it probably stems from negativity bias. which I remember learning about in psychology but it's essentially we have a tendency to pay more attention to bad negative things and overlook good things because of like evolution

because when you back in the day when you're trying to survive out in the wild and shit if you paid attention to the bad dangerous negative things you survived and if you ignored them you would die so it's kind of like a probably a primal thing that's still in our head, but that we don't need as much.

Obviously, you still need it, but we do it for way too many things. And some people do it for literally everything. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, I just complain about my week and all the terrible things that happened. And I haven't, I didn't say one like, you know what? I enjoyed this thing because I was too busy focusing on all the other stuff. Yeah.

And it's why whenever someone's like, I hate reading the YouTube comment, it's just like one guy. It's like one comment or two comments. comments or like it's always that type of thing because it just stands out and it kind of lingers in your head because then there's always like 90 people that are just like this is great don't let the haters get to you blah blah blah but like there's a reason it does sure and it's also perspective like there was um oh man what is her name there was some girl this week who uh you know she like is a streamer but she uploads stuff to youtube and she was like i don't go on youtube because all the comments there are just dudes being like oh man

look at her ass and stuff like that. And it's so funny because perspective-wise, as a man, if anyone ever did that to me, if all my comments were like, nice ass, Jesse, I would be thrilled. It is perspective.

I mean, you're also not dealing with that on a daily basis. I would, if that was my daily, but if ever, I would start to believe it, dude,

I would start to believe maybe I did have a great ass. You know, that's really, it is your perspective. It is. Yeah. I've never been,

a woman on the internet so I don't know how truly awful it can actually be but I have been a guy on the internet and ain't no one out there like nice ass baby you know like I maybe that's what I need you know what maybe it is it does remind me of your story where he said there there's one girl you know that someone kept buying pizza for and then they're like I don't know if they like me but then you were like nobody buys me pizza. Yes, nobody nobody out there buying. Like if some if like some girl came into

my work every day with a thing of pizza, I would get the hint. I would be like, damn. Am I about to get like a pizza girlfriend? Okay. She did not. And again, it's all kind of the life you live and who you are. So it's, you know, everyone's

different. Everyone's different. Every situation is different. I don't know where I'm going with this. Oh, you know where I am going with this. Uh-oh. You know what? Isn't generic. Yeah.

All right, let's go to Chavez that's 7,000th Granddard has the traffic out there. Oh, man, let me tell you, gas prices are coming down, but the traffic sure is not. It is packed everywhere. It's hot outside.

Truly, that just makes it even more hot when there's traffic. It's just, oh man, you just, if you don't got to go out into that traffic, don't. It's rough out here. Also, I learned that RAM slots 2 and 4 at the end of their respective RAM channels means that there's less issues with signal integrity, which is why using RAM slots 2 and 4 is great for max stability. Yeah, it's so hot that Chopter Copter wasn't. flying so I guess you reporting from inside a computer makes perfect sense. Man, it's hot here in L.A., but not nearly as hot as the rest of the country.

104 in Detroit. Oh, my God. 107 on Tuesday in Cincinnati? Dallas 100 degrees, Atlanta 100 degrees. Chicago 103, Tuesday? Let's see. I'm checking the weather. Oh, yeah, Tuesday.

Well, here it's supposed to be 96. maybe it's warmer near the lake or some shit. Well, I imagine in cities because of all the concrete and the metal, it sort of like reverberates around you. So you're surrounded, basically you're cooking in an oven. Yeah. That's, yeah, I don't want that. Yeah, no, that sucks.

Damn. That's, I mean, Europe is even worse as far as, because they're not, the insides of their buildings aren't ready for this kind of stuff. Oh, yeah. No, that's like, it's like, what do you go? call it. Australia is the opposite of that. Because whenever I hear the Australians and whatever in the chat, it's getting cold out. It's like

50 degrees or 60 degrees. Yeah, because they're entering winter. Yeah. Yeah. But like their houses are built to like keep the heat out. So when it gets colder, it like still keeps the heat out. So that's like the opposite

of England and Europe and stuff where the houses are built to keep the heat in. So then when it gets hot, it's like really hot and they don't have air conditioning on top of it. Dodger's crazy because my God, she, uh, when we did geekenders,

the room she was in was, I guess their communal kind of like, this is the, this is the playroom. And that computer was falling apart because of the heat while we were streaming. Like, I don't know what was going on,

but on her end, I was turning pink on strike. Whatever she was receiving, I was coming in like through the heat waves, man. I was not on Wi-Fi. I was heat wave powered. The computer was feeling the heat.

Yeah. Yeah. That is, yeah, I don't, I'm glad I'm not, dude, I would not be able to sleep. I'd be like dying. Yeah, I can't. I'm a weak boy. Air conditioning has ruined me. I can't, I can't live without it.

I just know me. The one, the few times I've had to, I've been like, never again. Dude, when we had, there was Coxcon, and they put me in that shitty hotel with no conditioning. I'm like, I'm ready to go home. Like straight up. I'm not going to sleep. I haven't slept in like 20 hours. I'm like, dude, I need air conditioning or I'm just going to die or go home. And they're just like, okay, we'll find you thing. And then they gave me the, I was like, if I have to be a diva, I got to be a diva. I need my sleep. I get it. How else will the, the people of Coxcon, you know, appreciate me and all my friend. Right, right, right, right.

You have to request the green M&Ms. Otherwise, how do you know they looked at your rider? Yeah. If I didn't get my beauty sleep, it'd be like, man, he's looking rough. You know, I paid all this money to see Crentheor. Right. No, that's exactly what would happen. Yeah, no, of course. Yeah, that's that.

Yeah, that's it. Yeah. People would have really been like, wow, Crendor's looking so rough. Yeah. It would have been so disappointed. So disappointed. Everyone would have been just so disappointed. Yeah.

So luckily, that didn't happen. The hotel we went to gave us complimentary champagne at the door. and is all paid out of Jesse's money, which he now needs for rain. Yeah, thanks, man. Yeah, yeah, all these years, if I hadn't spent that money, I could afford a ram.

Granted, that was like 10 years ago. Well, now you know, it all counts. Yeah. Oh, my God, speaking of alcohol, I meant to tell the story. So yesterday, when I was buying my wine for the movie night, I was like, looking at all the wines.

I was like, this one looks pretty fun. So I got the one that, like, the Druid mermaid on it. And the guy in front of me was buying a box of alcohol. And not like wine, like various bottles of just

alcohol, like hard liquor. He had like one. It was whiskey. He had a gray goose. He had a it was like 10 to 20 bottles of just random ass alcohol. And so he put in his cart and he's wheeling it out the door afterwards.

And this guy's walking by that's pushing his kid in a stroller and he goes, hey, pushing our babies around. I was like, holy shit. You know what? That's good. That's funny. At least he's a, you know, a fun alcoholic. Yeah. That's good.

He knows. Look, that's, I will make the same joke but with videos. Every time I really, I'm like, these are my babies. I don't need kids. I have so many children already. Meanwhile, the guy pushing the stroller was just like, yeah. He's just like, what the hell who's talking to me? Yeah. Yeah, that was.

Meanwhile, dude, and then at the grocery store the other day, I was like just walking through buying taco stuff. And I heard one of the employees go like, oh, hey, you're still working? I thought I'd be going home by now. And he goes, no, we had to deal with that crackhead for five hours. Five hours. Five hours.

I'm going to say it's too long to deal with any crackhead. Five hours is too long in any situation. He's just like, dude, he's just wandering around the stores. Fucking cracket. I was like, oh, at least I miss that. Dude, outside of this grocery store near me, it's not the Whole Foods. It's the one that actually has like detergent and stuff I want to buy. Whole Foods, I'm going to say it.

You're detergent, house cleaning products. I hate them. I want all the chemicals. I hate them. So I go to like the normal grocery store, but out front, there's this guy, definite drug addiction,

and he stands out there and he'll just harass everyone going inside to buy him food, right? And he's there so much that a year ago I gave him some money and I see him there all the time now and he keeps bugging me

and I'm like, no. And then he'll fight people who'll get in fights and they'll try to get him to leave and one time he was trying to fight security guards and I literally had to stop and be like, man, what are you doing? Like, everyone here is trying to be so nice dude and you were such a dick.

And he's like, oh, you don't know me? I was like, I do know you. You've been here every time I'm here, I see you and I already gave you money once. He's like, you don't know, no, that didn't happen. I was like, yes, it did. Like, you are literally praying on people's goodwill to the point where people are tired of you being here, man.

Yeah, that's, you know, it sucks for them, but at the same time, it's kind of like, you know, they got the, the Jacks thing going. Yes, like, look, I get your, you're down in your luck. That sucks. And everyone here is trying to be, like, really considerate. But if people don't want to give you money, that's not on them. You shouldn't be yelling at them to help you out. That's not like, some people just don't have it, man. Why are you?

Like, he was just yelling at people because they were like, no. Yeah. What? What? Yeah. So finally the security guard tried to like get him to go and he like started freaking out. He was going to attack the security guard.

And finally myself and like two other guys who were there were like, calm down. Dude, what do you do it? And then he started yelling at us. And that's what I was, that's what I had to yell at him. And I was like, no. I, you've been here for like a year and a half and no one said a thing to you. And now you're going to get pissy with people. Like, no, it's not on that.

This is a you problem right now. And then he was like, I hope your ram breaks. And then it happened. So, you know, that's what I get. Cursed you. Yep. Yep. Hit me with the green sheet.

He went oogity boogany. And then hang on. Yeah. And that's the traffic. All right. Let's go to weather. A weather request for Kev Eiler, Germany. Used to be a place of pilgrimage to worship,

what is basically a 300-year-old baseball card of Virgin Mary. But I think most people visit for the thick slide power. in the near Edvinruhe Farm, Erland, or the Parookaville Festival on the airport wheeze. I'm not sure I understood any of what you just said. I don't think I did either. Like, what you just read sounded like when someone's like, baby gronk looks maxes,

convicular on a, like, the group chat of sloppy joes. And I'm like, what? He's flopping a wibble. he's hitting that he's hitting the trick on the wibble with the wobble and the woozel it's like oh yeah all right well in the cavalier germany it's currently 71 degrees fahrenheit it was 93 degrees so they're also going through it and it is 64 dewpoint 77% humidity feels like 71 uh 9 mile visibility air quality, moderate. Waxing gibbis, moon phase. 5.20 a.m. Sunrise, 9.56 p.m. Sunset. 9.30 p.m. Moonrise, 405 a.m. Moon set. UV index zero.

And five mile an hour, northwest winds. Ten day. We've got showers early tonight. Monday, partly cloudy. 82. Tuesday, mostly cloudy. 80. Wednesday mostly sunny 77 Thursday mostly sunny 78 Friday partly cloudy 707 Saturday mostly sunny 79 and it's pretty much the same until

mid July where it returns to the 90s so I'm sure they're not very excited for that to the north and south so this is not a very big town it's kind of more towards the Netherlands than it is the rest of Germany but

to the north and south, at least on Google Maps, it's like to the south, go see the Erland family park and playgrounds with a giant bird plane. And it's like, go there, that's better. And then to the north, mango buffet, which appears to be a giant Chinese buffet. That is, it is, Google Maps is like, go there. It is, like, ignore the city. these are more important.

You have to go there. Yeah. And so I was like, all right. And then you go down to the city and it's a lot of churches, a lot of religious sites. I'm sure that's where the Virgin Mary baseball card or whatever the hell you were talking about is. Yeah. But most of it is kind of like Burger King. Yeah.

Or Belisima Pizza and Donner. Or Umi Papa me. What is Umi Papa me? Umi pop up me Oh I see that Umi Papa me Also also Sushi

Oh yeah it's sushi That looks pretty good It does look good That's a lot of bars A lot of But that makes sense It's Germany Yeah

Brinsenhof Brewhouses Yeah like little cafes A lot of Bobbo pizza Bobbo pizza Sounds like a dude from Star Wars.

You're trying to talk to Babbo pizza. You go through me first. Okay, baby. And Bobo Pizza. Come on, baby. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. Hey, got to add Bobbo pizza to the Cox and Crendler character.

Okay, baby. Bobo pizza. I help you. Yeah. Everyone loves Bobo Pizza. It's like big connections with the Greystorm. Yeah, he's like what keeps the graystorm grounded. Yeah.

Thank you to Bobbo Pizza. But most of these places just look like your average, you know, European spot. Half of them look like it's just in some dude's house. The other half looks like it's a cafe where you could just sit out on the street and drink. Yeah, there's a restaurant Cavalier, Her Lehman. That's got a 4.9 with 3.1K reviews. It looks good. It's like fancy bar food.

You know what? That's some of my favorite. I'm not even going to hate. I love that. Yeah. No, I love that. They take bar food, but they like turn it up to another level where they make it fancy.

Yeah. There's one place called Alt Derp. Stop. It's not called Alt Derp. 4.6, almost 2,000 reviews. Steakhouse. It looks like a movie location. It does, actually.

Like a Mulan Rouge-esque steakhouse. house. Yeah, like the building's crazy. That building looks like it's old as shit. Yeah, yeah, it really does look old. But also, my favorite are the photos of the dudes standing in front of a brick wall

cutting meat like for posing. I love that. That is. Alt, derp. What does that mean in German? Because for me, I just think it's like a dirp who's a little alternative. That's what I think, too.

but I don't know all there uh wait pizza taxi that's right you know pizza taxi a lot of pizza taxi a lot of pizza

is there burger uh does there burger king have anything different about it you know what I mean besides all capital letters yeah besides the classic Germans you have to yell Burger King

when you say it in Germany um They do have a pita wrap. It looks like they have a crunch wraps. They have a full salad. That seems different than a burger king. Yeah, that seems different. I don't know that Burger King here.

Their burgers have a Ruegelah on it, which is not something American Burger King does. That's definitely better than American Burger King. I mean, without a doubt. Yes. Oh, I know many people overseas who love Burger King and I'm like, why? What? And they're like, it's delicious. And then they come to the U.S.

Try Burger King here and they go, oh, I get it. Yeah, that's the classic, oh, just try the American version. Yeah. Although I will say this cheese fries with jalapinos one they have, if you scroll down far enough, looks like an American, like that cheese looks gross. Yeah, that does look like the American version. Yeah.

You know what? Some things are the same and some things are different. Yep. Yeah, as far as I can tell from the menu, they have crispy chicken, long chicken, double steakhouse, a whopper, extra long chili cheese burger, and then a Big King XXL. Now that's the American version. Yeah, yeah. And there we go. That's the weather.

Okay, let's go to sports. Sports. We've got some sports happening. As of right now, we had FIFA World Cup Canada just beat South Africa. So let's check the old World Cup standings now and see here. Mexico is undefeated, 3-0 and O. We have Switzerland is 2-1-0.

They're at the top of Group B. Top of Group C is Brazil and Morocco tied. Top of Group D is the United States. We lost one, yes? Yeah, they're 2-0 and 1. 2 wins, 1 loss. Top of Group E is Germany and the Ivory Coast tied. Top of Group F is the Netherlands with Japan right behind them. And then you got Group G, which is Belgium and the Egypt tied.

Group H is Spain. Group I is France. There's a lot of groups. Group J is Argentina. They haven't lost. Group K is Colombia and Group L is England in Croatia right behind them How much more time is it?

How many more weeks is it? It goes until like mid-July. But this has just been like the whatever rounds. They're just saying like, who's good. I'm just curious about all the, like, first of all, let me stress. Everyone from around the world who's come to America, all your videos online are my favorite thing in the world. It almost makes me feel patriotic, almost.

But I do realize you're just eating like a Big Mac and being like, this is crazy. But there's something fun about it. With that said, I'm really curious how, like, you know, all the Scots who took over Boston and then went to Miami, took over Miami. Did you just take a month and a half off of work? How'd you do that? Are you rich?

What's the vibe? Like I would, because it's, if it's still going through July, can you do that? And if so, that makes me even more upset about American workplace culture. Uh, yeah, I don't know. Because it's going until at least July 19th. So we got a while left. it says the knockout round

of the World Cup's about to begin with 32 teams moving to the next phase of the tournament. Unlike the group stage, it's winner go home and if two teams facing off are tied when the clock ends goes to extra time. Both teams alternate blah blah blah blah. So the knockout rounds

start today. In fact, Canada, South Africa was the first of the knockout game. So Canada actually moves on and South Africa is done. And then it looks like it'll be Netherlands, Morocco, Germany versus

somebody, Brazil versus Japan. It looks like USA will play Bosnia Herzegovina. Close enough. Yeah, that's good. So yeah, we're now into the knockout rounds

where it's winner go home. So that's mainly what I've been waiting for. So now I might actually start watching. I went to a Mexican place Wednesday for lunch. and the amount of people there who were just there to watch the World Cup they were drinking, eating chips, nothing else. And I sat down, ordered my food, had a great time.

But while talking to the waitress, she informed me, most of those people weren't there actually for the World Cup. And I was like, what do you mean? It seems like they are. She's like, no, no, no, they're here for the aliens. What? That's when I discovered that a woman who, who I guess is like a famous psychic in Brazil,

said that during that game in Miami, aliens would arrive and kidnap people from the field. What? Yeah. So everyone, apparently according to the waitress, everyone there was there to see if aliens would show up. I'm surprised Mathis wasn't watching.

I mean, I went back and we talked about it on Chulminati. And I was like, dude. And I guess the match was happening while we were recording Chuluminati. So we were like, We will keep you updated if aliens go. They did not.

Yep. Who would have guessed? Who would have guessed? That is funny. So yeah, we have that. Then we had the NBA draft occur where we had the top four picks, which were all good. We had AJ DiBonsta go to the Wizards, Utah Jazz got Darren Peterson, the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies got Cameron Boozer, and the Bulls got Caleb Wilson's. So I'm hoping he's good so that the bowls will finally be good again.

Then we had the NHL draft where the top picks were the Toronto Maple Leafs taking, what's his name, Gavin McKenna? I think that's his name. Yeah, Gavin McKenna. Sure. NHL drive, let's see. And then we had the San Jose Sharks taking IVARs. Stenberg and Vancouver taking Caleb Malhotra.

And then the Blackhawks traded with Buffalo, their fourth overall pick to get one of the Buffalo defensemen. And then Buffalo took Daxon Rudolph, a new defenseman. These names are amazing. Daxon Rudolph sounds like a fake name in a Japanese baseball game. It kind of does, yeah. That's right up there with Clancy Javis. That's, dude, Winnipeg took Vigo Bjork.

That guy is a haunted painting. Yeah. The Islanders took Malte Gustafson. Okay. St. Louis took Maddox deeganize. Oh boy. Yes. I don't know how to.

I don't know that one. And then everyone else is crazy Nord-Ageny. names. Let's see. Oh, Vegas took Yuho Piperinen. Yo, that guy,

Yuho Piperinen is like that again. That's a solid name. That's a solid name right there. That's just you ho Piperina. Don't worry about it. Yeah, that's just you ho Piperinen. And then of course, we have the MLB standings for baseball,

which we got the Tampa Bay Raisin first with the Yankees right behind. We got the White Sox. and the Guardians tied in the Central. We got the Rangers and first in the West with the Mariners and the Astros and the athletics all right behind.

In the east we got the Braves atop the East and then the Central we got the Brewers and then in the West we got the Dodgers. And that's your baseball standings and sports. Okay. What is our fact of the day?

Fact of the Day. It's the fact of the day. Our solar system has a wall. What? The heliopause, the region of space in which solar wind isn't hot enough to push back the wind particles coming from distant stars. It's often considered the boundary wall of the solar system and interstellar space. So where is it at? is it, I assume it's past Pluto, but I know there's other astro bodies out there.

So like, what's, what's the deal? Let's see, there's a picture here. It says the sun causing a boshok orange as its solar wind, blue, collides with interstellar medium, gas, dust, other matter between star systems. So here's what it looks like. I guess it's kind of like the in between. Oh, you know what it? Okay.

It's kind of funny because it looks. looks exactly like when you look at Earth, right? And I'm sure for those of you at home, you've seen the image of Earth, and then you see sort of the solar winds hitting Earth and then our atmosphere deflects it around it. Yeah. Imagine that, except it's our entire solar system.

Yeah, exactly. Same vibe, exact same looking thing, except on a grander scale. All right, cool. It does make me wonder about the nature of the universe, Although this past week We read an article that was literally just like Scientists think

That a black hole Because it like pinpoints into One singular dot of space time It has to eject it somewhere And they were like oh well that's new universes So each black hole leads to the formation Of a new universe In a smaller compact like

So technically our Big Bang was the sort of like the fart of a black hole is what is what this like theory says and I was like honestly I love that I love the idea that beyond that is more stuff which is why we're expanding into nothing because we're just a black hole fart and other black holes make other black hole fart

so it's like infinite black holes in different universes and different levels of different things I was like honestly that's great it doesn't matter because we'll never we'll never get to explore that so like cool man fun. I like that. That's fun. So same thing here. It's kind of like just wacky space science. Like, all right, cool.

Nice to know. It doesn't do anything for us. Yeah. But it's cool to know. And there you go. That's your fact of the day. All right. Well, who has come to us with tears in their eyes? We've got tears.

Here we go. With the tears. Starting with Dear Lustery's serves with tears in my eyes. one on my brow and dust in my lungs. I ask you, what's how you doing? If you had to change professions to something that has a ballad song

about it, C-Captain, coal miner, gunslinger, train driver, etc. What would you choose and why? Alternatively, how would the ballot about your current profession go? That's a good question. How would... So, it has to be

a profession that has a ballot already? Yes. You make me look up professions with ballads. Let's see. Well, that's not very... Oh, okay. Occupational ballads, right, which is literally what pops up here. I don't...

I'd probably be like, 16 tons. What do you get? Another day older and a deeper in debt. I feel like that would be me. And it doesn't matter. Clearly, that's like a minor song. but I feel like that's also everything song

at the moment. So yeah, again, I think I've decided that if I was ever going to do anything else right now, I'd probably go be a baker and bake bread. That could actually have a good song. I feel like it would be like, rising in the morning, rising all the bread.

You know, like one of those. Rising all the donuts, getting out of bed. Right? Pouring lots of coffee. Making folks happy. Something like that. Yeah.

That'd be me. Waking you up with a smile. We're sounding more, more like a Dunkin' Donuts ad, though. That's true. It actually is. It really just a Dunkin' Donuts ad. Yeah. But that's what I would do, I think.

Yeah. My thing is like, I like the sea shanties of sailors, but I wouldn't want to be a sea, like, captain or, like, out at sea, because I don't like the water. Yes. agreed. I would not do that. So, yeah, I would just, I would sing sea shanthes, but as like someone that worked at a bookstore or something.

Like, you're at a bookstore but dressed like an old captain. Aye, you come to see books, eh? Yo, ho, the books fall down, but I put him back up and all around. They're just like, that's the sea captain.

He runs the store of stocking the shelves. I love everyone needs a little seat captain I like that yeah exactly everyone everyone needs a little seat guys everyone um all right there we go next

we have dear illustrious sirs I come to you with tears in my eyes an energan goody in my hand and spouting the universal greeting ba weep grana weep knee me me bong and ask if you

two were transformers what would your alt models or alt modes B, they'd be any vehicle, animal, plant, instrument of destruction, celestial objects, serial brand, anything. I just want to verify that in this scenario, we aren't robots, we're just ourselves, and then we turn into something else. Yes. So this isn't like we are us, and then we turn into robots. This is, we are us and we turn into whatever a robot we're turned into, be it jet or bug or whatever. Um, okay, sure.

I think I, me, I want to turn into something that can fly. I'll be real. I want to be able to get places faster. So I would be like Star Scream and I would just be like a cool, I'm going to be like an F-22. I want to be a raptor. I want to be like a high-tech, you know, fifth generation fighter or whatever and just zoom through the sky. I want to be like, blah, blah, blah, blah. My question is, do I have a fleshy exterior?

That is a good question Am I still flesh? Because I don't want to be a flesh fighter. That's gross. I don't want that. That's got to be a quote of am I still flesh? I don't want to be a flesh fighter. I mean, I guess you could be if you wanted to.

Yeah, but I don't want to. That's the problem. Yeah. See, I wouldn't want to be an instrument of destruction. I already know the government tried to get you. you. Right? So I wouldn't want to be anything useful. Maybe I'd just be like a tiny, I'd be like a mouse, but a mouse made out of like titanium.

How do you turn into a mouse? Like how do you become a tiny mouse? What happens to your parts? I don't know. That's part of the magic. You're right. You're right. Of course. Yeah. But I'd also be like immune to diseases. My immune system would also morph into an insane immunity. I don't know that's how that's how it works. That's how this would work.

Okay. All right. That's how this would work. Yeah. And they'd just be like, it was that titanium mouse. He's indestructible. He never gets diseases or anything. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. That'd be, because then you could go anywhere. You can go into traffic. You'd go, you know, into various buildings that are crumbled. You could go anywhere you wanted. Go into traffic. You can do whatever. There is no rules.

Yeah, there's no rules Um So yeah, that's a There's probably something else like it'd be that makes more sense But that's what the first thing that came into my mind Right, right And it may it's it's logical of course Yeah, it's logical in its own way

Mm-hmm We only got one of the dear illustrious sir We may do it Okay, I may as well do it Dear Lusterouserie starts with tears of my eyes It's like, Okio drift down this crazy road we call life Trying to learn the true meaning of the word speak in deep voice.

Oh, family. A question comes to me. If you had to open a business that provided good services to customers, aka coffee shop or a barber, what kind of business would you open and what would your schick be to get people interested?

Oh, easy, already said bakery, and I would sell like Jesse Cox's sweet buns. Yeah, because people would give you ass compliments. Yeah, they'd be like these buns are delicious and I'd be like, that's what I've been looking for my whole life. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Then everybody's like, you gotta get Jesse's sweet buns. He ices my buns up real nice.

Yeah. Nope. That's what I want. I, I, dude, I'd probably open a coffee, I'd open a coffee bookshop, but it would be like all It would have to be some crazy theme, like, Rainforest Cafe Coffee Bookshop. That sounds like a terrible idea. All your books will be wet. Nope. Well, it's not going to rain on the books.

It's just going to make the noises and rain in areas where there's no books. So you're in a bookshop and it's like, go-g-g-g-k-k-k! Yes. You get the gorillas? Yeah, all right. It started the thunderstorms start. It would have various jungle rooms. So you could, like, go read in like a various, you know, jungle room.

You get your coffee. Right? The coffee would be like the hub, like the safari hub. Sure. Right. So you get your stuff there and then like maybe the actual books would also be out in the jungle. You definitely go out. Oh, you want a book?

Go out in the jungle and get one. Yeah, that's part of the experience. Right, right. You got to really want to read at your bookstore. It's a, it's really just, I mean, you don't have to read. You could just have your coffee there as well and enjoy the atmosphere. You bring your laptop. They have like a little cafe area.

But if you want to read, you can venture into the jungle. Really, I just want to have a jungle-themed coffee shop. And I have gotten that from what you're saying. Yeah, and bookstore. I understand exactly what you're saying now. Yeah. And there we go. That's the only last research.

Okay. What is our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day, day, day, day. Florida man's back. Oh, boy, our favorite. Florida man punches Uber eats driver and rides off on his e-bike. I don't know why I laughed so hard at that. Just the idea of a guy be like, I'm out of here.

Yeah, he's like, here's your food. He's like, punched my now. Like, I wonder if he even took the food. Maybe we'll find out, I guess. Yeah. It takes a certain kind of audacity to rob someone who's actively doing you a favor by delivering food. But in Hillsborough County, Florida, audacity is apparently not in short supply. Deputies there recently arrested a man accused of attacking Uber Eats driver mid-delivery and making off with his e-bike.

The incident happened on June 24th on Sheldon, road in the town and country area outside of Tampa Bay. The driver had paused to check his directions, as delivery riders often need to do, when 30-year-old Daniel X-Steen allegedly walked up and decided the bike looked better in his possession.

He reportedly shoved the driver off the e-bike and punched him before taking the bike and leaving. So it wasn't even his food. He was just like, I want an e-bike. I think he just took it. Okay. I mean, it's not nearly all right.

Now, here's where the story takes a turn that only Florida can really provide. Right, okay. Eckstein's getaway vehicle was a U-Haul truck. Whether it was rented for the occasion or simply convenient is unclear, but the image of someone committing a robbery and climbing into a U-Haul to flee is the kind of detail that stays with you. It really is. Deputies caught up with X-Dine two days later, arresting

him on June 26th. He now faces charges of robbery under $750 and first-degree petty theft, which all things considered seems like a fairly expensive way to acquire an e-bike. Electronic bicycles have become all the rage and are genuinely common in recent years, particularly among gig workers like food delivery drivers who cover a lot of ground and rely on them as a primary work vehicle. Decent e-bike can cost anywhere from a few hundred on the low end to over 3,000 for a quality model. For a delivery driver, it's not just transportation, but their entire

income on two wheels. The getaway that wasn't. There is something almost cinematic about choosing a U-Haul as a getaway vehicle and not in a flattering way. U-Hauls Why are they writing this?

Or they're like, there's something gross about this. And you know what? It's not in the flattering way. They probably ran this shit through UI. Or AI. Yeah, not their user. Through the UI. Yeah, they put it Just put it through the UI. U-Hauls are not fast, not inconspicuous, and not particularly easy to park quickly.

They are, however, large enough to load an e-bike into, which may have been the logic at work here. It did not ultimately help much. Charged and arrested within 48 hours. X-Den did not have a long time to enjoy his e-bike. The Hillsborough County sheriffs made the arrest in just two days after the robbery was booked. The case is a good reminder that e-bikes are not difficult to describe to law and forcement when someone just watched you punched a man off one. What's crazy is the price of e-bikes.

I saw an ad for one and I was like, oh, wow, that looks really neat. Like maybe I could, you know, I've always wanted to have a little bike to ride around in and to have one of those ones that has like a built-in motor in case I need to like, you know, get somewhere a little quicker. Right. The thing was $4,000. I was like, never mind. I don't get that much.

How much are those e-scooters? Oh, a scooter? No, I'm all right. Yeah. Well, every time I see an e-scooter, it's like high school kids. Oh, yeah. In the area of where I'm in L.A., there's like five or six kids that have little scooters. They always, I see them all the time.

They're always out living their best lives, I guess. I would love to, as a kid, having a little motorized anything would have made me feel like a king. So I get it. Oh, yeah. I get it. It's just, you know for a fact they're falling off that shit and like getting concussions, losing teeth, like breaking bones.

Let them fall off. Let them. It looks like they go for around 500 on average. So honestly, cheaper than RAM. There's a store I'm aware of that that's all they sell is scooters. I was shocked. That's a thing you could do is just sell them. I guess if you sell enough, it makes sense.

I guess. I feel like if it's just like, oh yeah, our store only does this. It's like, oh, all right. Never would have thought that was a thing. Yeah, there you go. That's the big news story of the day. Day, day. All right.
