Today's episode is brought to by HeroForge.
HeroForge has got those awesome custom minis to take to your next game and show off.
We all know that's half the fun, let's be honest.
Let's jump to this podcast.
Everybody, it's time for Ghost and Trend Dog.
In front of morning.
In the morning.
Broadcastle live, live, live, live, live.
In 4-hour reporting studio.
Recorded.
Wake your ass up.
up, grendor in the morning.
Hello, everybody, one of the second episode of Cax and Crenor in the morning.
Hello, yes.
It was like a, it was like a confused frog.
People do say I am a confused frog quite frequently.
You know what? I've heard that specifically about you.
Yeah, no, quite a lot.
Like, that guy's a confused frog.
And you know what I am?
I mean, more of a confused, like, skink lizard guy, but yes.
That's true.
I guess you could, oh, I don't know, there's different tendencies.
What's up?
How you doing?
What's going on?
How's your life?
What's cracking?
I don't know what else I can say.
So many questions, yeah.
And all mean the same thing.
Everything, yeah, everything's good.
I am almost entirely moved out of the office.
Oh, so you've done it.
You're done moving out?
Not yet.
I have all the art and stuff still up on the walls.
I see.
And the back room, all the sound stuff is still up because we're doing one last recording tomorrow,
which is our big last shoot day.
And then I'm done.
And then I'm going to spend the next two weeks until we have to be out by August,
just slowly moving stuff out every day.
So that'll be my task.
I thought you already were moving stuff out.
Right now there is nothing there except stuff on the wall.
camera equipment and the I'm about to say foam but curtains the sound curtains and so that's up and those will just take a little bit of like the sound curtains I have to unscrew stuff from the ceiling which is a whole endeavor all the art and the walls are just going to there's a lot of it so it's just going to take you know I can only fit so much in my car so it's going to be back and forth and back and forth so that'll take some time and then I have to do the normal
stuff I'm gonna do daily.
So, you know, you know how it is.
Oh, yeah, I know that would be.
So I've got to, you know, I got that.
And then I got to paint.
I got to repaint stuff on the walls
because one of the walls is this orange,
just funky orange color.
And I, I can't just, you know,
do the, the, boy, you can tell I don't
fix houses.
I, like, spackle the walls.
You know, so I got to, I got a process.
And so I, thankfully I have two weeks
to get that all done.
So I'm not too stressed.
Yeah, well, that's good.
I mean, this is,
I feel like this has been a long time coming now,
because you keep being like, we're going to move out,
we're going to move out, now you're actually doing it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, most of it's gone.
The team took most of their stuff home,
so they'll just be working from home for any, you know,
for the foreseeable future, and so will I, I guess.
I'm trying to get this room a little more soundproofy
and funk it up.
And yeah, so far, so good.
You know, I hate moving, but thankfully this hasn't been that big of a process.
Although I will say my living room in my apartment is a complete shit show.
It was more of one.
And then before we recorded this, I was messing around in there and trying to figure out what I needed to keep and what I didn't.
Like I have on my desk right now, I'm looking at it.
I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 USB C chords.
Why have so many?
I don't know.
Yeah, I think I do that too.
You just keep getting cords.
I mean, I always keep them.
You know, some of them are USB 3 to USBC.
And I'm like, you know, I got to keep these.
But that's also because we have so many damn drives.
Oh, yeah.
Especially when you do this, you just accumulate computer things.
I have so much, yeah.
And it's been a process of trying to figure out what I need to keep and what I don't.
Like I went through one box and I had, I'm going to say, no less than 20 H-DMI cords.
Oh my God.
I know.
It was just one of those things where at the office we would get something or we'd have to, you know, buy a thing.
And then it'd be like, well, it came with a USB, okay.
And then we just put it, or not USB, H-DMI, and we put it in the box.
Ah, yeah, I see.
And it was labeled H-D-M-I.
And so we always had some if we needed them.
But like, now that we don't have an office, I'm like, what am I going to do with all these?
I feel stupid throwing them out.
How long have you had that office for?
2020.
Oh, wow.
This is a COVID office.
Yeah, I got it on the cheap in 2020.
And when no one else wanted it, and I was like, yes.
So at least it felt like I could get out.
You know what I mean?
Like I would drive from my home to the office.
And it felt like, you know, screw COVID.
I got this.
And it's been a treat.
I've loved having the office.
But it also is getting too expensive now.
Like I said, I got it on the cheap.
And now that it's no longer cheap, I don't need it anymore.
Yeah.
I feel like all the people that work for you are also like, nice.
I can work from home.
Yeah, yeah, I bet they feel that way.
And I'm fine with that.
I was like, you know, instead of me looking over your shoulder and being like,
hey, when's that done?
I'm literally, it's going to be like, I need it by this day.
Yeah.
And I don't care when you work on it.
If you do it the night before, just do it right.
No, exactly.
as long as you get it done
that's all that matters
yeah yep
and that's where I'm at
I'm like okay
I don't care how you do it
as long as it's done
and you send it to me
in the time frame
that I'm asking
then we're good
so that's kind of
what's going on with me over there
I will say
dude
remember how I mentioned
that part of the reason
I want to move
is because those
the other podcast
I don't want to start beef
with those guys
but I'm sure
the hosts are very nice
I don't know anything about them
I don't think I've ever even
seen them.
But the office manager, the guy who runs their office, Supreme
Dick, I go to pool in the parking lot the other day and in front of me is this giant,
you know those like bigger than normal vans, the vans that are just massive?
Oh yeah.
So there was a gray one in front of me and I was waiting for it to turn in.
But instead of it turning in, they pulled a little forward and then reversed in.
So they're reversing into the parking area and I'm like, what the, what?
So I watch them do this.
I'm patiently waiting there.
I'm like, all right, man, whatever.
Just do what you do.
But instead of opening the gate, he pulls into the initial driveway area and stops.
The gate's still closed.
I'm like, what is this guy, what does this guy do it?
Maybe a minute goes by.
A car is behind me now.
and I am waiting to turn left,
but I'm also, because of where I'm at,
blocking the driveway for an apartment complex.
So the guy behind me is trying to get into the apartment complex,
I can't go anywhere because this dude is like blocking in front of me
and I need to go left and he's blocking where left is.
So he waits there and then the door,
the giant side door to this fan opens
and like five dude bros come out with cameras.
They all got big cameras.
They all look like, uh,
I don't know, guys who would make a video where they prank people, you know what I mean?
Like that vibe.
Like the people go to streamer university.
Yes, yes, yes.
And so they all, by the way, I've been watching that.
That's, I have thoughts.
But so they absolutely like just get out and start talking, like joking with each other.
And I'm just like, are you kidding me?
Like, do you not see that there's more cars behind me now?
So I'm just sitting there.
They go to the gate and they punch in a bunch of numbers doesn't work.
They punch in more numbers doesn't work.
I'm like, oh my God.
Surely someone will open the door for them.
Surely if they got like a guy in there.
Eventually the gate opens and the guys walk in.
But the car is still there.
So finally I just honk my horn.
I'm like, come on, move, please.
Honk it again.
This guy looks at me like I'm the problem.
eventually he starts backing up
not like leaving
backing up into the parking space
like into the parking lot and I'm like what
so I go to turn in literally
just so I can get out of the way
of all these people behind me who are clearly pissed
so I turn in now I'm stuck in the sort of entrance
way where the gate is and this gate
will just close on your ass
and so I'm like please move
I don't want the gate to hit my car
please dude
he just looks at me
like I'm a crazy person
and finally I just like
in anger put my hand
on the horn and just blow
like I'm like
I'm not gonna take my hand off
just move dude I'm so pissed at you
the guy who manages the office comes out
looks at me
like I'm trying to start a fight
then like looks at the driver
and he's like I can see his mouth
he's like is this guy giving you a hard time
and the driver's like
nah he's nothing
and then they dab each other
and I'm like
I don't
I don't care about you or any of this
I'm not even trying to start a fight
I just would like to park
you guys are blocking the park
finally
after I mouth the
I just want to park at them
the dude moves
and then I park
and they both as they get out of my car
like give me this mean mug
like I'm gonna fight them
and I just looked at them
and just grabbed my stuff
and just walked in
I was like I don't
I don't know what your deal is
I don't
know why you guys are so agro, but you're so unbelievably inconsiderate the group of you.
And I'm positive.
It's because of their association to fame.
Because they hang out with famous guys who literally Will Ferrell was on with them recently.
So, like, they have famous people show up at the office.
Like, I get it.
They have a proximity to fame, and they think they're important.
But you're, like, I don't care.
Just move out of the way so I can put.
part my car, dude.
Like, I just don't care.
And it made me so mad.
I was like, I'm not going to say anything.
I'm not going to get in an instigate thing.
But I would just like to park.
And then I want to go inside and I want to get work done.
That's it.
That's all I want.
And you all are holding me up.
And that's, yeah, that was the vibe.
Like, those are those guys.
They all suck.
The dude who runs the office can kiss my whole ass.
He has been nothing but like an egotistical prick.
I do not like.
like that guy.
Yeah, that is, that's pretty bad.
That's, yeah.
I mean, really, that's like I mentioned,
it's pretty much every big content creator person.
Well, not all of them, but, you know, many of them.
I mean, it wasn't even, like, it's,
it's not even the content creators.
This is like when David Dobrick had an office near us,
and he had like, I'm going to say,
12 people in the office as editors, air quote,
but I only ever saw one.
person working at any given time.
That was the one time this like girl like let her dog wander around the halls taking dumps
everywhere.
And I was like, no, no, no.
And she was like, sorry.
I was like, no, I don't.
They were all like, you know, 20.
And it was probably their first job, but they were like, we're hanging out.
I was like, I don't, I literally don't care what you do.
Just don't let your dog crap all over the place where everyone walks.
Which is insane.
That's the thing.
That's what it is.
I think I've discovered that most people who are like the face of a thing are pretty decent,
but it's all the hangers on, man, can kiss my whole ass.
Like, I just, holy crap, I'm so over it.
Like, I've met a lot of really great celebrities.
And almost all of them have had.
intolerable like wing people.
Ah, yeah.
Except, except.
Well, I can't say except because when Snoop Dog showed up at Maker Studios way back when,
his uncle, who was there making food was a cool ass dude.
I hung out with him, had a great time.
But I can't say Snoop had a cool, like, entourage because the entourage that did form was
all the maker people
who literally told me
I couldn't go in the studio
because Snoop was in there.
Yeah, he's too famous for you.
Yes, absolutely.
That's what they were saying.
It's like that time
you and I were at the Xbox
booth at E3 and they told us to leave
because Kanye West was coming
to play Cuphead.
And we were like, well, let's play with him.
And they're like, no, you will not be allowed.
This guy is
much bigger than both of you.
It's that vibe where I'm positive that
I think that's kind of the Hollywood thing
is a lot of agents and managers are like,
let me be the bad guy, you know?
So then the celebrities get to like be nice to everyone.
But I think them being the bad guy
means they think they're like the person.
Yeah.
They're that person who's just like,
all right guys, like we got some,
we got an important person coming through.
So if you can just like step aside, you know,
that.
Yes.
Yes.
And that's kind of the vibe with a lot of the office right now is a lot of the new people moving in are like bigger studio stuff.
And they all have an attitude.
And it's it's, you know what?
I'm fine leaving.
I'm fine not dealing with them, to be honest.
Yeah.
If anything, it sounds refreshing.
Yes.
I'm excited to, I'm going to like Crendor in my life.
I'm going to get up.
I'm going to go for a walk in the morning.
I'm going to like, you know, get a coffee.
do a whole thing, then come work, and then like work out.
I got like a whole plan.
I'm going to crendor it up.
Crendor era.
You're ready.
Start doing some tendon, isometric holds for your tendons.
I will not be doing that, but like, yeah, okay.
Well, you won't be doing that until you hurt your tendons.
I'm going to try not to hurt my tendons.
Like I said before, the one time I had foot pain, I wanted to die.
So it's fine.
I don't want that anymore.
I don't want, I need to walk.
I need it.
and I don't think anyone wants pain that they get.
Okay, all right, okay then.
But I'm just saying, if it just happens,
you're like, oh, I got a little tendonitis in here.
You can be like, what do I do?
And you'd be like, oh, Crendor told me isometric holds.
And I'll remember that.
And then I'll ask, I'll ask Google what the hell an isometric hold is.
Well, an isometric hold is where you do an exercise, but you hold it.
It's like instead of doing a squat over and over,
you do a squat and you just hold the squat for like 30 seconds.
That's a hold.
So like a wall sit...
Basically, like, becoming an old Japanese man.
Exactly.
That's what I'm trying to do.
I still think about there is...
Oh, man, what is that movie?
It's like a...
Maybe it's a Scorsese film or something.
It's basically the story of a bunch of, I think,
Jesuit missionaries in Japan.
And it's like a fine movie.
It's whatever.
But there's an actor.
I assume he's a Japanese character actor
because he was phenomenal.
but is this older man
and every time he was on scene
his character's like
thing he would do
is he would squat
and then as time went on
he'd just sink into the squat
and every time he'd go
and it was amazing
I just kept
I keep thinking about him
where he'd just like
he'd have a power pose
but then he'd just go
and like deflate into the power
it was great
I'd think about that guy all the time
I mean, yeah, that's part of the reason is like a lot of people over there, especially,
that's why it's called the Asian squat a lot of the times.
Sure.
They just do that.
And so it just, it's good for you.
And then if you get older and you don't do that and you try to do it, your body's like,
what the hell are we doing?
Moral being, remember, isometrics.
I remember.
I'll remember the moral.
Yes, I got you.
You said you're watching the streamer university.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's interesting to watch, like, the idea of saying, hey, we're going to have a bunch of people here with a bunch of celebrity streamers.
It seems to me like the fact that those, not all of them, but some of them took the opportunity to be giant assholes to get attention, shouldn't be shocking to anyone.
The fact that there's a bunch of them literally going out of their way to be dicks and like do shock things.
or I've got one dude who was trying to like
shit talk Ludwig while he was teaching them
and then he just snapped at him
like yeah
of course they're going to do that because a lot of
streaming now or online stuff
is about how much attention can you grab
yeah good or bud right
and so like of course it's gonna happen watching the
people in charge react with like
I didn't know it would be like this
is pretty funny especially considering
and I tweeted this I was like
one of the things I learned as a teacher being young
I was 24 when I was teaching 18 year olds
they did not see me as a teacher they saw me as one of them
trying to boss them around
and it took so long for me to crack that
and that was tough and I think that's the same thing here
is you have a bunch of streamers who are
barely older than the people attending their streamer university
and they're demanding respect
and half of them
are purposefully not giving them respect
and the other half
are like
okay, I mean, whatever, you know?
Yeah, it's
well, it's even worse because now you're
with this type of thing, it's not even like an actual
school, it's like, you know.
No, there's no, there's no punishment.
Like, what's, what's gonna happen?
They're not gonna get expelled, you know?
Yeah, although, I mean, they do get expelled,
like, oh no, they probably, like
all those people who get banned
from Twitch, they're the expelled person
who, so now they have numbers.
You know what I mean? Yeah. So it's like there's
the incentive to do that type of thing and be
like, yo, I'm being crazy and now people
know who I am. Right?
So it's, and I mean, this type of thing,
it's essentially just, it's not even
at school, it's just like a narcissistic
gathering.
Like, that's really all it is.
Everyone just being like, I'm the best, pay attention
to me. No, I'm the best. Pay attention to
me. And it's like, it's the whole point of this is
to like learn how to be
streamer. Isn't that the whole like premise?
Yeah, I think
there's sort of a
problem
when Kai and everyone involved
with setting this up chooses
people as well.
They didn't choose
people that probably could use
the help. They chose people
that were
fun
like interviews or whatever. They had like a good
reel that got
them interested in them.
And so, you know, that's part of it is those people who got picked,
probably the reason they're picked are the reasons they're acting the way they are at Streamer University.
Yeah.
No, it definitely is.
Honestly, it's like reality shows.
Like they pick the people they pick for a reason.
Yeah.
And that's what's sad is that the most interesting part of it is those people being ridiculous.
Because everything else that's happening at Streamer University is, you know,
advice and tips and stuff that you don't need to go to stream university to figure out.
Yeah.
Yeah, like you can learn all this on your own.
And it's, you know, it's not the most difficult stuff to figure out.
Like once you get into the intricacies of all this stuff,
like it can get pretty intense.
But like for the most part, you don't really have to do that unless you're already doing it for a living.
Yeah.
And like Ludwig showing how much money.
he makes doing X, Y, and Z is interesting, but that doesn't really translate to anyone there
because he is of the top 0.001% of streamers.
So, you know, him getting brand deals in the X number of 100,000s of dollars is 100% not
going to translate to these people.
Yeah, absolutely not.
Like, the only person that will translate to is probably, you know, like Kai himself.
Yeah. Yeah. Everyone else who's the thing that I like is that they said Twitch is a bad place to get discovered.
Yeah, which is. The problem is saying that is the reason why everyone there is acting a fool.
Yeah. So they can then be discovered by being on a thing that Kai and Ludwig and all these people are doing.
So it's like, you know, it's a double-edged sword. Yeah, you're going to have content and, you know, the people running this are getting views.
but also everyone there is going to act crazy
because they're young and they're around other people
that are their peers and they're getting clicked up.
Like there was already a video about how like
the really high viewership count people have grouped together
and then like the mid-tier people group together
and then the bottom people just don't know where to go
because like everyone's sort of forcing them to be together
but they like want to, you know,
collaborate with some of the other people but they can't,
you know, like that kind of stuff.
It's, I mean it makes sense.
sense because usually you're going to collaborate with people around the same level as you.
But that's, I think that'll ties into like having diversity within the system you've created,
which again, clearly it's they did this more for like the viewership and making money than
actually educating people on how to do this.
Yeah, I would love to know the stats of previous streamer university.
Like what happened to the person who came out of that?
I think out of all the people there.
Ludwig pulled it up.
And it was like 40%
Like lost viewership after a month
Or like 80%
Oh, I did
I didn't click the video
But I didn't see a thing that said
Ludwig explains what happens after they leave
Yeah
And it was like 10%
Don't even stream again
Yeah
But like yeah
It's tough
And I think yeah
Everyone expects
This is their big moment
Like you know
If you go on a reality TV show
People expect this is gonna be the thing
It's gonna pay the bills
The rest of my life
And it's like no dude
that's that's not true.
Yeah.
It's definitely one of those things where people see it.
And they're like, oh, I can do that.
This is easy.
You talk to a camera.
You play a game.
But it's like once you start doing it, then you really, especially when you start doing it for months.
It's like, it's funny, it's anything where you can do it for a few weeks or days and be like, oh, yeah.
But it's like, all right, now do that for months.
Now do it for years.
You're like, oh, this is taxing.
Like, you know, it's not taxing the same way when you work in the coal mines, as I always.
put out there, but it's still mentally taxing.
I mean, that's the problem when, you know,
I'm now out, I consider bottom money
on two video games that would have featured
very popular online personalities, right?
And both of those, the reason why they both died,
and this is the lesson I've learned,
because I was like, you know, fool me once,
you know, shame on you, fool me twice,
I don't get fooled again, you know?
I yeah the lesson I learned is that in both cases
I also tweeted this out a little bit when extra Emily this week was like
you know I didn't get my car license thing renewed and I
yeah most streamers most online personalities only care about the one thing they care about
and that's it and they hyper focus on it and in the case of the two games I was trying to make both times
one just said I can't do it
I want to focus on my content creation
and I was like you wouldn't be doing anything
we'll be doing all the work
all you have to do is just like record
maybe an hour of footage
like that's it and it's like nope
sorry can't do it's like all right cool well
I guess when I'm the only person out money
then that's fine for you
and then the second one
dude just ghosted
uh
we started making a thing everything started coming together
and then I pushed back and I said
okay we're making a horror game
but it appears like for this horror game
it's not that scary
we need to change some assets and make it a little scarier
right
and then once I said that
nothing
dude just stopped responding
completely fell apart because he was the lynchpin
uh
this is I'm like
I have learned
that unless I know and trust a content
creator I will never work with another one
on a I could lose money level
If you want me to come on your podcast, whatever, fine.
But I'm not going to invest anything that involves me losing money on someone ever again,
unless they're like the best friend I have.
And even then I've learned lessons not to do that.
Yeah, that's true.
Even then, it's just really like when it boils down to it,
the main person you can trust is yourself with most of the things that you do.
Because like, I mean, that's even what I do.
That's why I don't hire any YouTube editors or anything like that.
People are like, you can have an editor.
And I'm like, dude, I'm not going to do that.
Like, number one, I've been editing my videos since like 2009.
And I'm not doing anything crazy.
So like, I'll give a shit.
Number two, I think it adds like to the style when you know the actual creators
editing something, depending on what you're doing, I guess.
If you're just like throwing clips together and like whatever.
But like, you know, for my type of thing where I'm doing like my own top tens and, you know,
weird goofy videos like that.
It's like, I think it adds another element where you're like, oh, he's actually editing it himself.
Oh, oh, speaking, speaking of editing.
So I wanted to bring up the fact that last time, before we had our little break there for the holiday, last time I mentioned the fact that I wanted to do the hot dog intro but for the live show.
And I was like, well, what if I do AI?
I asked all the listeners
They were like
Get Bent Cox, we hate you
I was like okay
Noted
Noted
But I did see a fantastic idea
And I love it
And I think we should do it
I'm not sure how we put it together
But the idea I was given
Was
Fans submit one sentence to add to the intro
Oh that is pretty good
That's pretty good
So each person
So it's like
Ford from the Shards of Fong
and angels. That's like one thing.
Yeah. And then like, you know, touched by the glass of incantation.
I don't know.
What the fuck?
But like those kinds of things, that's what we would collect.
And then I'd have someone go through them and create a thing for us with them.
Because I don't want to hear it. I don't want to know what it is.
Yeah, I like that. That is good.
And I think that'd be fun.
Yeah. It's got the fun, like, fan element in there, too.
Yes. And I feel.
like maybe, for the sake of ease, since I know a lot of people listen to us are on YouTube,
if you just go to the YouTube page for this episode, even if you're listening on a podcast service
right now or whatever, go to the Cox and Crendor podcast YouTube page and click on this episode,
which I think is 513, and then just leave one line for us, one ridiculous over-the-top line
to describe us.
Yeah, put it in the comments.
And then I will send someone from the office to go there and just collect them all and create a thing for us.
No, that's a good idea.
I like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then I can probably get Octo or someone to do the voiceover.
And then we'll play that with the music before we come up.
Oh, yeah.
That would be fun.
I would love that.
Yeah.
Okay.
So that's resolved.
Everyone who was like, Jesse, if you use AI, I will find you and break your legs.
Look, I get it.
I was asking.
I was asking if it was a fun idea
and you said no
you said get bent loser and so here we are
it's true they did say that
they did I got a lot of angry comments
they were like I will never listen to you again
I was like damn
they will break your legs
I was just asking
because I wasn't see this is why you need group
creativity sometimes
I didn't even think of the idea of having y'all
pick out random
ones and give it to us than assembling it.
I didn't think I didn't want to give you homework.
Now you have it. So there you go.
Yeah. Look at that.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Did you, what did you, yeah, what did you get up to this week?
What did I get up to this week?
Well, today is my birthday.
Happy birthday.
Yes, thank you.
So we, uh, my family came over and we barbecued.
That was fun.
Uh, but yesterday.
we went out and had wine and charcutory and good foods.
That was also fun.
So it's kind of like birthday weekend, if you will.
I've always said you party like a 20-year-old Southern sorority girl.
Yeah, it was fun.
I've enjoyed it.
And, you know, I did some streaming.
I was watching McDonald's Australian training videos.
They're just like put the buns on the machine.
and toast him.
Make him nice and toasty.
Bring him out.
Then he'd be like, thank you, Lisa.
Put it on a rack.
Thank you, Lisa.
Yeah.
Yeah, so I was watching, though,
because pretty much every year for my birthday,
I've been watching training videos.
I don't know why.
That's just been my thing.
Do you stream it?
Is that your thing?
So, like, I just stream my stuff.
I think I'll get, like, a lot of subs on my birthday
or people be like, happy birthday.
So I made a Garfield birthday badge,
which is just Garfield and a hat.
And a lot of people are subbing for that new things.
So it's like a nice background type of thing to do
where you don't have to fully pay attention
while doing that.
But at the same time, it's kind of fun
because it's not a normal thing you do.
It's like you're watching these weird-ass training videos.
And they're all like, even I watched those,
but we also watch like Hardys.
And there's like a couple other ones.
They always got that like uncanny happiness.
And they're always like, make sure that you are paying attention
to their.
customer with a big smile and making them feel welcome like their family.
And it's like, I love the fact that they're like make them feel like their family,
but it's like they know that they're not family.
But they're just like,
I feel like that's the best way a corporate person could convince someone to be nice.
Does that make any sense?
Like saying be nice to them isn't descriptive enough.
So saying treat them like your family at least, I guess like even the most
baby-brained person can understand.
Yeah.
Unless your family's a mess, in which case, don't.
That's true. Yeah.
Treat them like you would if you had a good family,
I think is what we should be saying.
Yeah.
But I always love even in those shitty corporate things where they'll be like,
and here's the McDonald's manager.
And it's like she's walking around,
like she's on the front lines of a war,
being like micromanaging everything.
And then they're like, my company's just not doing as well as they should be.
And they're just like, well, let's figure out what's wrong as we pay you,
like $19 an hour.
Like, bro, I don't give it shit.
We're just working at McDonald's. Who cares?
Yeah, my manager when I
worked at McDonald's was
a blast. She was incredible, but she
also was
always on drugs.
I mean, I would be too.
She was always high.
Yeah, but she was a delight
and yeah, oh my God, she was like,
I think about this all the time because she
really was like,
Like, she was in the trenches.
She was like that manager who if something would happen, she'd be like, oh, I'll just fix it.
Because she couldn't trust anyone to do it.
And I always think about that because that's how I am sometimes when it comes to work.
I'm like, I'll just do it.
And she, like, if the ice cream machine broke, instead of being like someone fix it,
because you'd usually have to call out to someone.
And if you're wondering why McDonald's takes so long to fix their ice cream machines,
it's because it's not, there's no one in house who can fix it.
Right.
So she eventually just learned and was like, yeah, all right.
And she would like get under it and above it.
And she'd like tinker with all the things.
She's like, I'm not calling for anybody.
So she was in there.
She would like change the fry oil.
She was a champ.
But also she was on drugs the entire time.
That's probably why.
So really, McDonald's just needs to supply drugs to their employees.
I'm just saying it would have made everything so much more fun.
Although, to be honest, most of the time people were on drugs.
That's true.
Like, to get an example of, so even when I worked in college at a fast food place, that taco place I worked at, it's so funny because no one wants to be there.
Like, maybe a few managers are thinking about, like, owning one one day, and so they're saving up, they're trying to rise to the ranks or whatever.
But most people don't want to be there.
And I keep thinking about the fact that there was at the taco place.
of that there was one girl who was there
and she was saving up
money working at a taco place
so she could get breast implants
to go become a stripper.
Oh my God.
And she did. She got her
boob job and she went off to go become a stripper
and I was like
all right, you know?
Get your money, girl, but it's
just a wild thing that that's
a trajectory she had for herself.
That is a pretty wild trajectory.
She was like, I know what I
want and it's not to be here, which is agreed, but that's because I need the cash to go get a
boob job to go become a stripper. And I was like, then what? Then what after that? I don't think
there was no plan after that. That was it. That was her plan. That was it. That was her end goal.
You know what? I respect it. I respect being like, and that's it done. And I'm done.
Yeah. No, that's definitely a goal.
Honestly, I've never had such a short goal. All my goals are like multi-tiered.
I wish I had a goal that was like, and then I do this and I'm done.
And that's it.
And I've achieved everything I want.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't think I've had that either.
I'm always like, I got to write a book.
I got to grow my YouTube.
I got to do this.
Like, I'm always thinking of other things I could do.
I don't think I could ever just be like, yeah, I'll just do this.
And I'm done.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
So, you know, I always, I will say, fast food was some of the craziest job I worked.
and overnight grocery stocking was pretty crazy too
why is that
because it was like the weirdest dudes
it was all guys
and they were all the weirdest dudes who ever lived
but like they were chill
they were cool but they like
were out there
to give you any indication
it's because of working that overnight shift
that I started listening to coast to coast a.m.
This was like 2001 maybe
so because of that
because those are the guys, that type of guy.
Well, they were like, you know, the other night,
I was out in the woods.
I saw, I think, I think it was a demon.
I'm like, really?
He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I started smoking with them.
I'm like, okay.
So it's just people like Mathis.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so, I wasn't very good at stocking shelves.
Like, stocking shelves is you have to like,
you got to just rip open,
boxes, slam stuff on the show.
I would try to make it look presentable, and they would
yell at me. They'd be like, don't, don't do that.
Just get it on a shelf. I'm like, but
all the labels have to be facing the fronter. People
won't know what they're getting. They're like, just get it on the shelf.
Okay.
Yeah. Honestly, that was one of my problems when I would work at
retail places. I'd be like, this
method we're doing just seems like inferior.
We should do like a different thing. Like, that's the way
we do it. And I'm like, dude, this sucks.
Like, why are we doing it?
But then at the same time, I'm like,
don't care, right?
But then you're like, well, I don't even want to work here, which nobody does.
So that's just more motivation to, you know, do something else, which again, that's why
everybody wants to do this type of thing as their job because then they can kind of do what
they want, essentially.
The problem is, much like we talked about earlier, nobody really knows why they want to do
this usually.
Normally they're just like, you like YouTube and Twitch.
Yeah.
They're just like, I want to get big and make money on it.
It's like, all right, what are you going to do?
And they're like, I don't know, just be me.
It's like, uh, okay.
Like, you need ideas.
Yeah, that's, I think the problem is that a lot of the people that became big,
became big because of who they are.
And all the ideas and all the background work and stuff
doesn't necessarily present itself as being something people will notice or pick up on.
So there's all these things that most of the top streamers are doing.
and most people just don't see that.
They only see them like being goofy and making the video, you know.
Yeah, they don't see them like with, you know,
looking at all their analytics or figuring out thumbnails
or looking at watch time stuff
or when people stop watching or doing all their sponsorship shit.
Yeah.
Like there's a, it's a whole process.
There's a whole back end and it's a lot of work.
It's not what I would consider the hardest of work,
but it's a lot.
You are working all the time.
Yeah.
And it's like what I always said
where it's like once you're in it,
it's not as bad.
But once you're,
when you're trying to get there,
that's like probably going to be the hardest part.
But I'd say the hardest parts
are trying to make it
and then once you've done it
for a long time as well.
Those are kind of the two.
But, you know,
that's the way it is.
That's the name of the game.
That's the way.
the cookie crumbles. That's the
metaphor.
Yep, that's the metaphor.
That's the metaphor.
But, you know, it's better than
all those things.
Hero Forge!
We talk about Hero Forge all
the time on the show, and they've been
a sponsor for a while, and you know what? It's for good
reason. If you got a tabletop campaign
coming up, or you want to
roll into your current one with a new
cool figure of your character,
HeroForge is the one-stop custom shop for you, offering fully customizable tabletop miniatures
with dozens of fantasy species and thousands of parts to choose from, all within your browser.
Plus, they come with a variety of materials including color plastic, acrylic, standees,
bronze, and downloadable files for 3D printing at home if that's your jam.
With a constantly expanding catalog of customization options and add a new
parts every week and major features like new species and custom posing, it's a great way to bring
something special to your next game night. Plus, if you really fall in love with it, I would
advise 100% just go check it out. Go play around. Go create a thing. You can get weird. You can make
like a little, you know, demon duck like I've done, or a city goblin, like a goblin who's
like, I'm from this city. I've made all sorts of goofy things over there.
Go check it out.
And if you love it, they have a pro subscription that grants access to kit bashing, a photo booth, community library, and much more.
Plus, then you can store your ideas in folders for certain campaigns or just kind of like keep track of what you made in the past and when you made it.
And you get access to early drops.
Then you can share stuff with other people and people can see your things.
And it all starts at $3.99 a month.
So go mess around with the site.
Check it out.
Have some fun.
It's all in browser.
and it's super, super silly
to just make whatever the hell is on your mind.
And if you want to pull the trigger
and then buy it, by all means,
use code Crendor for 5% off.
Again, that's used code Crendor
to get 5% off all orders of physical miniatures,
not combinable with any other sales or promotions.
All right, let's go to Chappas and some of the guy
the Grendor and there.
Oh, man, let me tell you, it's still bad.
People still going on summer trips,
people still doing all that stuff.
It'll probably start comments.
down in a little bit, but as
right now, man, it's not great.
Also, uh, did you fix your computer?
I didn't even know. I was going to ask that.
It seems like it's fixed, but I have no idea.
Thank you.
Yes, I did get it fixed.
So I had my old editor, David, shout to David,
uh, come over and check.
So what was happening?
And this is so weird.
Um, you know, we thought we fixed it a little bit at the office.
We like move some ram around.
We like, you know, went in and,
When I got it home, plugged it in, turned it on again, something was wrong.
Like something, again, it got really hot.
My CPU was just 96 degrees Celsius, dude.
Mama me, wow.
Yeah, something was wrong.
So I then turned it off, turned it back on again, ran another test.
Everything's fine.
I'm like, what is going on?
So turns out.
that upon further investigation,
my cooler for my CPU
was sometimes working, sometimes not.
Ah.
And the reason behind it, I have no clue.
I guess it was just dead,
like slowly dying or whatever.
So sometimes, like, you give it a little nudge,
and it was one of those ones that had,
like, the liquid cooling
that goes up into the fans.
And I guess one channel was not moving.
So basically if you felt the two tubes
One was scorching hot and one was cold
Ah, I see
And then sometimes the cold would like
I guess get in it a little bit
And then everything would work
And sometimes it wouldn't
So we discovered that
You know sometimes I'd run a test and it would work
And sometimes I run a test and it wouldn't work
So we just replaced the whole thing
And we got one of those giant Naktua
Instead of like a cool, you know
Liquid thing
We just bought the big Naktua fan
That I've always used really
in the past and put that bad boy on.
And this thing, instead of being 96 degrees Celsius,
we ran one of those like CPU stress test things.
And even at the highest setting,
with every single bit of my processor running,
it was like maybe 40 degrees Celsius.
Yeah, that's quite a difference.
Yeah, the minute we turned it off,
the temperature dropped dramatically too.
So like, yeah, it was just a dead.
cooling unit.
Damn.
And I would have figured that out earlier had the test showed me, but sometimes the test
would say it was fine and sometimes it wouldn't.
So I was just like, well, that's weird.
Yeah, so it's one of those things where whenever you'd check it, it was like kind of
working, but then when you'd stop checking it, it probably was like 90 degrees.
Yeah, even the, like the fans attached to it working too.
So the fans were on, but for some reason the pumping system would just shut off sometimes.
Yeah, I see.
Which is, I don't know how I would be able to tell that without having like an actual guy who is an actual like computer genius come in and be like, here's the problem.
I was like, oh, okay.
Dude, thanks to David, big plays.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
David, it continues the tradition of people that work for me going off and finding the job of their dreams.
Everyone, everyone who has worked for me and left has gone to better things.
And I'm glad to be that thing they can look back on and be like, it was all right.
It wasn't that great.
Oh, yeah, that guy.
Yeah.
Literally, like, Kristen works at Riot now and travels the world and, like, gets to hang out with celebrities and stuff.
David works for the company that, like, basically all the screens and things you see at, like, baseball games and NFL, that's them.
Oh, my gosh.
And that man's got stock.
So he's doing great.
The one editor I had who literally went off to go, like, live in Bermuda with dolphins.
What?
Yes, I'm telling you, dude.
Dan, just people.
Dan works at a manga.
Yeah, Dan now, Dan's now a real-ass animator.
I'm telling you, like, everyone that works for me does better after it.
Like, oh, okay, cool, cool.
Maybe I need to work for you.
Because working with you's not going too good.
We need to be going to fix that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's so funny to me that everyone who's ever had a job for me is like, all right, well, now I'm going to just go off and live my life and here I am just like, I make videos on the internet.
My computer's too hot.
Yeah.
What's really funny is every time too when one of them mentions, like, people like, oh, you work for a YouTuber.
Who did you work for?
They all say Jesse Cox.
And the response every time is who?
So that's where I am.
I mean, I've heard people when they mention you, like with other stories.
streamer friends or whatever.
They're always like, oh, that guy like works a lot in the industry.
I've heard, that's what I've heard a lot about you with.
You know what?
I like that.
That's great.
I'll take it.
I'll take that.
Yeah.
They never mentioned this podcast, though.
So that's always kind of weird.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People rarely mention the things like, you know, unless you're in it, unless you know who I am and
you follow along.
Yeah.
It's, it always, it reminds me again of, uh, when I was at the movies with,
my mom and after the movie was over
this wonderful kid came up to me
and I said kid but he was like you know
young adult and he's like
are you Jesse Cox my mom was like blown away
she's like what the hell but I thought it was funnier
because it wasn't that he I mean maybe he was
interested but he literally went to go get his dad
and his dad was excited
and I was like that's my audience right there
that's my people that's my people
I still always love when we were at that
the fogo whatever
And then those people came up to us.
They were like, dude, it's Crendor.
They were talking to me.
Like, we love Cox and Crendor.
They just left, and they never acknowledged you once.
That sounds correct.
You were just like, what?
Because it's one thing, if they're just like, oh, we like your wow videos or whatever.
But they were like, we love the Cox and Crenndor podcast.
But they just didn't talk to you.
That's, you know, that's fine.
I like awkwardly sitting there.
It's one of the few things I really enjoy.
Just kind of awkwardly looking around.
That's good.
At least you got to enjoy it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Um, that's the traffic.
All right, let's go to weather.
We've got weather requests for many places, but we have landed on...
Weather request, Ayr, Scotland.
I'm going up there on a work trip next week. I'd love to know what I'm heading into.
Well, I guess they're already there.
Air Scotland?
Like AYR.
Like AYR?
Yeah, AYR.
So I guess they know how the weather it is, or whether it is, I guess they know how the weather is, but let's find out how it currently is. Air Scotland.
58 degrees Fahrenheit, high of 72, low 55, chance of rain 3%.
Currently 84% humidity. That's a lot of humidity. 2.53.
Sunrise 504 a.m. sunset 9.44 p.m. pressure 30.35 inches, 10 miles visibility.
27 on the air quality. That's way better than here.
UV index zero feels like 56, 9 mile an hour,
west northwest winds with a waxing crescent moon phase.
The 10 day.
The 10 day.
Tonight, partly cloudy.
Monday, partly cloudy, 608 degrees.
Tuesday, 67 degrees with mostly sun.
Wednesday, partly cloudy, 68.
Thursday, partly cloudy, 65.
Friday.
40, Saturday light rain
63, Sunday a.m. showers 63,
Monday a.m. shower 63
and Tuesday a.m. showers
65. And then it's going to be raining
in the 60s. So honestly, it's
pretty nice.
I just want to say, for the record,
the
air, I'm not sure how we're even saying this.
The river air has
I saw a place called
Pebble Beach and I was like, Pebble Beach, what the?
It literally is just the
bank of a river covered in pebbles, which is amazing.
And then they also have like the stepping stones and so they're just more pebbles.
I mean, it's great.
It makes sense.
Name stuff after what it is.
Yeah, yeah, it isn't like Pebble Beach that we have in the U.S., which is just like it's a beach.
Honestly, that's kind of like, well, actually, I think it's probably named that because
of Scotland immigrants probably came over here and they're just like, we'll call it Pebble Beach.
That's usually the case.
I also want to give a shout out to some of the amazing names of restaurants like Mr.
Bazra's World Cuisine and Spud Buds.
Dude, Spud Buds.
And I assume it's Sassini's or Kekinis Italian restaurant.
Maybe it's Kachinis.
Probably.
There's the smoking goat bar and grill.
There's three idiots.
Come on.
This is, this is, I am loving the names of places in this town.
These are some really good names.
I like these a lot.
The twa dugs?
I don't know what that means and I want to go there.
Yeah, let's see.
You got strips and dips.
The fat pizza.
There you go.
That's a good one, too.
That's it.
You know what?
One thing I learned from like doing writing or fantasy writing specifically,
people always try to make crazy names for their shit.
They'll be like, it's the city of Zohakhando in the western Yakdong Peninsula.
And it's just like, I mean, realistically, people are just like, oh yeah, that's like,
North Green Hill.
Because it's like, well, why's the name that?
It's like, there's Green Hills.
It's like, oh, that's Rocky Beach.
Why is he called that?
It's Rocky Beach.
That's pretty rocky.
That's old Rocky Beach.
Now we got New Rocky Beach.
Like, it's all just old England.
We've got New England.
Is this place, hold on.
There's a place, well, there's a place called they bake.
They bake, period.
That's the name of the, I assume it's a bakery.
It is.
But there's also.
places that are just like
wind days. I assume that means we windows.
Wee win days. It's a pub.
I love
the things that are named here.
This place rules. This place does rule. Let us
eat. I'm kind of
obsessed with spud buds. Like, they
have a potato that has
chili on it and the chili looks really good.
And part of me is like,
I want a potato.
I want spud buds.
Yeah. Yeah.
Honestly, this place.
I'm going to have to make an effort to get a potato, like make a baked potato this week and then put like chili or something on it.
Like that's my plan.
I can make that at home.
I don't need to go out for that.
That does sound pretty good.
Yeah.
Now I'm like, oh, there's the drunken coup.
What the heck?
The drunken cue?
Oh, it's a steakhouse?
Yo!
Well, that's dangerous.
There's a video from Johnny Hollywood, too.
and it is the steak that they have here
this it is a wood
it's a wood
tablet plate something
like it's a wood
I don't even know like cutting board I guess
and on it are
two different types of big thick steak fries
onion rings appears to be mushrooms
tomatoes three different sauces
and then like the cut up
giant ass steak it looks delicious
oh man
There's another version of it where this person instead of two different types of potatoes,
they have mac and cheese and that mac and cheese.
Yo, oh no, this looks delicious.
Everything I'm seeing here looks so good.
Yeah, I didn't expect this place to be that good with food.
I mean, wow.
Yeah, I'm really, for like a pretty small town.
Impressive.
Yeah, it's like a small town.
It's kind of, it's in Scotland, but it's kind of bordering UK, like with England.
I wonder how, like, disqualifying.
distance wise, how far would it be to Glasgow?
Because it appears there's an airport there as well.
Oh, yeah.
So.
It seems like you just take the old, uh, just take the old M77 right down.
Right near, I mean, yeah, I'm just trying to figure out like, I'm just going to, I'm just going to look it up.
Yeah, I guess you could just look it up.
45 minutes.
Oh, yeah.
That's not bad at all.
That's not bad.
That's not bad at all.
That's considering it takes me.
like an hour and a half to get from Heathrow to downtown London every time I come to England.
That's not bad at all.
Yeah, no, that's actually, yeah, wow.
I mean, I-
So technically you could live there and then go into Glasgow.
Yeah.
Or Edinburgh is close by too, technically.
What is that?
Probably another hour, so, you know.
You're going to cross the whole piece of lane.
Yeah, that's very true.
Honestly, it seems like a.
pretty chill place. I'm going to let you know to our lovely listener. You have options.
Yeah. I mean, I think I always forget how these places are just as big as states for the most part.
It's a lot of times you think like, oh yeah, there's all the states and stuff. You forget like these
countries over here literally as big as states is wild.
Yeah, it is, it is jarring. But honestly, I like that. It's the same thing as like when you're in the eastern part of the United States.
States, you can go between states really quickly.
Like, people live
in Pennsylvania and work in New York City.
You know what I mean? And then
when you hit the West Coast, in the middle of America,
everything just becomes much more stretched out and bigger.
And so, you end up with, like,
people, you can drive from one end of Texas to the next
end and still, like, 10 hours later, still be in Texas.
Yeah. Like, that's too much. That's too big.
Yeah, no, Texas is a big-ass state.
I mean, that's like,
yeah,
bigger than Germany.
I mean,
it's like the time Dodger and I went from London to,
uh,
Belgium to go to the,
the Balders Gate 3 event.
And we,
I was like,
oh,
I've never taken the channel.
This would be great.
I'd love to do this.
So we got on the train and we went into this like,
what I thought was like a dark,
I'm going to say cave.
You know what I mean?
Like,
it was,
I'm going to say 10 seconds.
And I thought,
we were just leaving London.
I did not realize.
Because when we came out of that dark,
you know,
10 second bit,
I was,
I thought we were still in the countryside of the UK.
It wasn't until I noticed a sign was in French.
Should I realize we were in France on our way to Belgium?
That's insane.
That's how fast it went.
Like that,
I think the total trip took less than two hours.
And that was,
and that was,
we went underwater and we had to like do a chain.
to a different train.
Like, it was not.
And then, oh, then we had to walk to the hotel still.
And it still took only under two hours.
Like, that's crazy.
That is crazy.
That's also, I still think it's crazy.
They made that, like, under the water or whatever it is.
Yeah, I've watched way too many videos now on how they did that.
And it's fascinating.
But, like, yeah, no, people died doing that.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
Like that was people died
Yeah anything that's insane
They're like wow the pyramids and all that
It's just like yeah people died making those
Mm-hmm
Yep
Actually zooming out now
I forgot that a
Turkey's actually not called turkey
Like I guess the real name is like Turkey
Or something like that
Yeah it's interesting when you hear people
pronounce it
Because I've definitely heard people
In the news
Uh call it
you know, Turkey or Turkey or Turkey, you know, like that or whatever.
Same thing like when it comes to Ukraine, there's Kiev and Kiev and, you know, that kind of thing.
I mean, that's like people say Illinois instead of Illinois.
Yeah, I think it's, you know, I mean, hell, we call it Japan and that's not really the name of it.
What is it?
Nippon?
Oh, yeah, it's true.
Yeah, I guess, you know, it just depends if you're from there, know what you're talking about, all that type of stuff.
But it's interesting, because I always, you grow up and you learn like, that's turkey.
And you go, okay.
And then I was like, wait, what happened?
And then you realize like, oh, that's what it's actually called.
So, yeah.
It's not like the bird.
Who would have guessed?
Where am I?
Oh, yeah, that's the weather.
All right.
Let's go to sports.
It's finally over.
Sports, it is finally over.
Spain was victorious.
And honestly, Spain deserved to win.
They're definitely the better team.
Argentina didn't even have any shots on goal, like the whole game.
It's pretty insane.
I will admit I'm a little disappointed because that guy who made the prediction of what would happen in the future, all of his predictions were contingent on Argentina winning.
So rip future predictions.
Sorry.
Once again, some guy was just making stuff up.
Who would have thought?
Who would have guessed?
Then he just happened to be right for most of it.
Yeah.
So yeah, that is over now.
Then we have baseball,
where we just had the All-Star game,
and the Tampa Bay Rays are in first.
The White Sox are in first.
The Rangers are in first.
The Braves are in first.
The Brewers are in first.
And the Dodgers are in first.
And then, let's see.
I mean, we got NFL football in a couple weeks.
Got the Hall of Fame game coming up.
Can't wait for that.
And actually, the Hall of Fame game usually sucks.
But it's more so the thing of like, football's back.
That's the fun part.
And then we, I think the NBA Summer League is currently going on.
I watch some of that with the Bulls.
It's not good.
It's really not good basketball.
It's not worth watching.
And then hockey.
is also not doing anything.
We're kind of in that point of the year
where there's not a lot of sports
stuff going on actually.
So the World Cup actually helped with that.
But
that
is sports.
All right.
What is our fact of the day?
Fact of the day.
Fact of the day.
In Thailand,
there's an annual monkey
buffet festival where residents
of Lopbury, leave 4.5 tons of fruit, veggies, and other treats to honor the approximately
3,000 monkeys that live near the Fra Prang Sam Yacht Temple. Way better than Coachella IMO, says
this BuzzFeed thing. So, um, yeah, but look at these monkeys. Look at them. Hold on. Hold on.
I'm trying. I'm trying. Yes. Yo, these guys.
look like how I want to live.
There's living the dream.
Honest to God, if, like,
basically it's a photo of monkeys
and then just a plethora of vegetables and things and fruits.
Yeah.
And they're just living their life, man.
Yeah.
No, they got grapes, they got bananas,
they got a whole bunch of stuff all about.
Yeah, mangoes, they got pineapples.
Yeah.
I want to know how monkey tackles a pineapple.
Also, for those who are curious,
this is just like laid out.
out. The fruit is displayed.
Yeah, it's like fully displayed.
I'm honestly, no one's ever done that for me.
I've never had just fruit displayed for my edible pleasure.
That's all he wants.
I've had close to it. I've had chakouterie things, but never had like, you know,
basically this is an edible arrangement for these guys.
Yeah, it actually actually is.
I'd say it's better than an edible arrangement.
This is like an edible.
Yes, you're correct.
This is a buffet arrangement.
It was like a full on.
I've never seen a buffet look this good.
Yeah.
Like it looks delicious.
Which by the way, I keep getting TikToks of this guy that's like eating Chinese food until I get food poisoning from Chinese buffets.
And he just goes to all these Chinese buffets and he tries all the food there.
And some of it just looks really bad.
And I guess he hasn't gotten food poisoning yet.
Or at least he hasn't said that he had.
Which is surprising.
I mean, by law, if it's like in, you know,
in a buffet situation, they have to heat it to a certain temperature.
So you're not going to get any kind of sickness that way.
Well, even then, if it's out for too long, you can still get sick.
Sure, sure, sure.
But there's, you know, you would not stay open as a buffet long enough if that's the case.
Well, yeah.
But, I mean, some of the things he's looking at it.
Like, there's...
Here's my question.
Where does he go, though?
He goes all over.
Like, you're saying it doesn't get sick.
But, like, okay, if you go to, like, the New York City buffet,
somewhere, you're probably fine. Or you go to one
and go to one
in like, Wichita.
No, that's what he's been doing. He finds
the one star Yelp ones.
Oh shit. Okay, never mind.
I'm back in. I like this. He goes all over.
He kind of has like an Alex vibe to him.
Like he's got that like kind of
blonde, wavy hair. He's just like, let's just go, man.
Let's fucking go. Like he's got that vibe like that weird
kind of chill guy that just wants to do something
crazy. And that's what he does. He goes there.
apparently his girlfriend
films it
and then he's just like
let's take a look at this
and it's like egg drop soup
and it was like jelly
and he's just like
yeah I don't think it's supposed to do that
it's like we gotta try it
yeah it's
a lot of it is
I mean like most Chinese buffets
I think are really funny
mostly because they have to have stuff
not for people who like Chinese food
so you'll go to a China buffet
and then it'll just have like
tater tots
you're like what the hell
Yeah, it is
It is weird
I can't do it
I'd rather just go to like a hole in the wall
Chinese place and get like a lunch special
No, I'd rather do that too
I'm honestly I don't like buffets in general
It's just I don't know
I will say
Most of them are like
Meh
But there was when I went to
During an Evo one year
Where it was like
In the bowels of
Not a casino
But a nearby hope
hotel. And it was one of those things
were like instead of it just being
you know like food in a tray and then you pick from it
each dish was its own little
thing. So you would get like
you know like Davis was obsessed with these little donuts and so you would get
like it would come on a little plate and there'd be three little tiny
baby donuts on that plate by itself right?
Or there was like a little
like a I'm trying to think like an egg thing that I liked
which was it was like its own little frying pan
you know what I mean?
Like every single thing there was its own little dish
and you would just take the dish.
And that, it was delicious.
That might have been the best food I've eaten in a long time.
But it was sort of out of the way
and like this little secret spot.
I knew it was a secret spot because when we were there,
all the like Harada and like all the dudes who like are the minds
behind all the fighting games that were at Evo
literally were there with us at the time we were eating.
They like walked in and all sat down and we were like,
oh, it was that kind of spot.
So I feel like we discovered the off the strip cool place.
And yeah, most things are just you walk up
and there's like a dude who's like,
how much meat do you want?
And you're like, I don't know.
You know?
But this place was like there's little,
everything's its own little dish.
Probably not the most cost effective way to serve that food,
but I don't think that was their concern,
which I liked.
I liked that everything was its own little thing.
And instead of getting a plate
and then you put stuff on the plate, you would just get a tray
and then put little things on the tray of separate plates, which I loved.
That is really nice.
It was cool.
That's the type of buffet I would want to go to,
but there's probably very few of those.
Like that's like a Vegas type of thing.
It was, man, what that place was incredible.
I wish I could remember what that place was.
Yeah, I don't know.
I remember my friend from Vegas was showing me a crazy buffet,
but I don't know if it would be that one,
but he showed me some crazy one.
He's like, now this is a buffet.
It did look really good.
So I mean, Vegas is probably the place where I would eat buffets.
But not like the shitty ones.
Like some crazy one.
So yeah, that's fact of the day.
I remember where I am.
That's the fact of the day.
Those monkeys made us talk about the face.
Oh, yeah, the monkeys.
That's right.
Okay, there we go.
That's your fact of the day.
All right.
Well, let's look at those souls who have come to us with tears in their eyes.
Here we go. We've got tears.
Oop.
Dear illustrious sirs, I come in me with tears of my eyes and a megazord in shambles.
Rita Repulsa has sent out a new monster and I am in desperate need of replacements.
What animal would your zord be and what limb of the megazard would it be?
Oh man.
Like I wanted to be something cool like the head, but I know I'd be a foot.
You know what I mean?
I'd be like one of the leg pieces.
Yeah, I
I'd probably be like the left arm
Or something
And I might
Like I want to be cool
I want to be like a good one
But I know that I know I wouldn't
Yeah
That's
Yeah I'd be the left arm
But like my fingers wouldn't work
My elbow would like sometimes break
I would definitely have some problems going on
But
Just for like animal
Um
Oh no
What kind of...
I mean, sloth is the obvious one
that people are to be like,
oh, you'd have a sloth arm,
which I think would make sense
having a sloth arm
and not being that great.
Sure.
So, I mean, I'd probably go with that.
But I think it'd be even funnier
if I had like, like we mentioned earlier,
frog energy,
if I just had like a frog
leg.
There was a frog.
I don't know if you remember
back in the day,
there was a frog.
I think it might have been...
Yeah, which one was that?
Which one was the frog?
It was from the movie.
Remember?
The Power Ranger
I'm looking, I can't believe, movie.
Oh my God, you're right.
I actually do kind of remember this now.
Yeah, I don't remember which one of them
had the frog though.
Looks like the Black Ranger.
The 1995 movie. Frogsword, Black.
Adam, the Black Ranger had a frog.
Yeah, I see that. Right, they changed everything.
There was the Ape Zord, the Wolfzord, the Bear Zord, the Frogsword, the Crayn Zord,
and the Falcon, which is what Tommy got.
when he became the white ranger.
That's pretty sick.
I forgot about those.
Yeah, yeah.
I would,
I want a butterfly.
I want a little butterfly,
Zord.
That's pretty good.
I like that.
Which means I can't be the leg
because it's not stable.
I have to be the piece.
You know how at the very end,
it was always the pink ranger.
She would always like attach
to the front and it would be like the chest plate.
Yeah.
That's what the butterfly has to be.
Yeah, you'd have to be that.
Yep, I'm fine with that.
I like that.
We'll take it.
Yeah, that's not too bad.
There we go.
Dear illustrious sirs, I come to you with tears in my eyes, a candlestick in my head, a dead body lying before me in the billiard room.
And I ask, if you had to commit a clue-like murder, who would your colorful alias be?
What is your weapon of choice, and where is the murder committed?
Ooh, um, I would say, now this is a new alias.
It's not one of the current ones.
Uh, it says, who would be your colorful alias?
Okay, all right
I would have to be
What is a fun color
Like
Neon pink
Yeah, let's see
I guess I would be like
Because it has to rhyme
Right
Like Professor Plum
Well no Miss Scarlet was a different one
There's like Colonel Mustard
Oh that's tough
Maybe there's like a
Clue name generator
Oh my God, yes
Let's see.
Yes, here we go.
Here we go.
Here we go.
I would be,
uh, all right.
I would be Mr. Mint.
Mr. Mint with the decanter stopper.
What?
In the cloak room.
The cloak room.
That all is that?
Yep.
The room where you put your cloaks.
See, this is great.
I love the clue generator.
This thing's amazing.
Oh, give me the clue generator.
Do one for me.
All right.
I need, for you, I'm going to pick.
Let's see.
I'm trying to think of who you would be.
You could be.
Oh, come on now.
Mr. Lyme.
Yep.
Mr. Lime
With the toilet brush
In the pool
In the pool
I was going to say the cellar
Because it's like wine
Okay
Yeah Mr. Lime
With the toilet brush
In the wine cellar
There we go
A lot of questions about that one
Yeah, that's mine
That's a good one
I like that another option
Was Chief Avocado
Which is hilarious
Chief Avocado
Chief Avocado
With the crossbow
in the servants quarters.
Oh my god, dude cross.
Okay, never mind, I'd have the crossbow.
There's also
um,
Sir Meadowbrook
with the diving knife
diving in the aquarium.
Diving? What the hell's a diving knife?
A knife for diving.
I got that.
That is not how to use it.
Corporal Rust.
Corporal Rust.
Corporal Rust with
with the painkill
in the media room.
That sounds like some backroom shit.
It really does.
There's General Tomato
with the feather boa
in the smoking room.
That's another good one.
These are good.
Yeah, there's a lot of name.
There's a lot of like clue generators out there
or Cludeau for those overseas.
Honestly, I think Corporal Rust
should be added to our arsenal of characters.
Corporal Rusty.
He's just like decaying.
He's me, Corporal Rust.
Yeah, he's out there testing everyone for low T right now.
Yeah.
I need to see if they're injecting you with the testosterone.
Yeah.
Everyone needs to just get those T numbers up.
You're going to rust away like Corporal Rust.
Actually, different guy.
Actually, it's a...
These weirdos and beardos
need to start taking tea.
That's, uh,
yep.
And that's the dead deer illustrious serves.
All right.
What is our big new story of the day?
Big new story of the day,
day, day, day.
Um,
this is one that a lot of people are talking about and it's very big.
Uh,
who is Jimithy?
Why a Seattle raccoon has gone viral.
He's small. He's round. He's viral.
A raccoon with a short spine or short spine syndrome named Jimothy has been spotted roaming Seattle's Ballard neighborhood.
Neighbors have posted videos of the miniature mammal online which have since amassed millions of views.
Whether he's scurrying across streets or sneaking around someone's backyard, the public can't seem to get enough Jimpathy.
What makes him so special?
Jimithy appears to have a spine deformity, giving him significantly smaller torso compared to most raccoons.
The raccoon likely has a rare condition called short spine syndrome, which compresses the vertebrain makes it appears if he has no neck.
Despite his unconditional appearance, uh, or unconventional appearance,
Jimothy appears to be thriving in his local habitat and doesn't seem to be letting the deformity affect his day-to-day activities.
He's also got like legs that seem way too big for his body.
He does. He's got like, he's just like a little, he kind of looks like a squig from Warhammer.
And he has no tail.
Yeah, and he doesn't know.
So he's like, he just looks like a, like a, like a ball with a face and legs.
It's wild.
He genuinely looks like a squig.
Um, where is Jimothy?
Jimothy appears to be centered around Seattle's Ballard neighborhood with cell phone and home security video capturing him in neighborhoods.
It's unknown which area Jimothy seems to frequent the most, especially with many flooding, uh, or with many flooding in trying to capture videos of the viral.
That's what I'm saying.
That's the disappointing thing to me is like, Jimothy live in his life.
and now internet people are trying to go there and like take a photo of him
and that's only going to scare him off.
Yeah.
Let him live his life.
Yeah.
Let him live his life.
Or worse, some assholes are going to try and like take Jimothy home as a pet or something.
Yeah, like Cap trim or something.
That's what I thought.
Or like credit.
I don't know.
Like I just want him to be able to run around and have a good time.
Right?
Yeah, he looks like he's doing great.
Let him live his life.
Yeah, let Jimithy live, man.
Let him do his thing.
Boy, we can't Monkey Mondays this, everyone.
We can't ruin this.
Let him do his thing.
If anything, we need to make Jimothy a buffet.
And don't allow anyone within 100-yard radius.
Just let him have his buffet.
Yeah, just get yourself a nice trash can full of random food and leave it out for Jimothy.
And then that's it.
Yeah, that's it.
I hope that Jimothy continues to do well and not have crazy people impact his life.
Yeah, I just saw the other day.
People were making fan art.
And it's so cute and funny.
and I love it.
And they don't ruin.
He is basically a modern-day cryptid.
Let him live.
He's like our big foot, except he's real.
Let him live.
Yeah, exactly.
He's like our big foot.
Let him live.
So there we go.
Just Jimothy having fun is our big new story of the day.
And we love Jimithy.
And wherever you're at, Jim, don't let the haters keep you down, bud.
Don't let the haters keep you down.
Keep on scouting for trash.
Yeah, he's probably got like, his family probably, there's video of him when he's younger,
and I'm letting you know, like, he still looks the same.
Yeah, just slightly bigger.
It's like a smaller little ball, but it's wild looking.
Yeah.
And there you go.
That's your big new story of the day.
All right.
Well, that's it for us.
