While clapping Yeah I was just so pissed What are you angry about Billy? A lot of things Oh dude actually You know what

You know what actually Actually I was When I was No well it's not It's not like that I went to McDonald's It was super fucking late

After my Like I was doing my Wood sculpting class We had just finished It was like 10 It was getting late I knew I wouldn't have enough time to get food, like make food at home. So I decided, fuck it.

Let's just go to McDonald's, whatever. And then I, as long as I have something in my stomach tonight, because I'm going to feel like shit otherwise. I go there. I do my order, everything. And it takes, dude, it took fucking forever. It was like, I have like a lot of patience because I used to work at McDonald's. So I know that sometimes, sometimes shit happens. Like, it's, and it's going to take a bit.

longer, but I had been waiting almost 30 minutes for my order. And I was like, okay, this is getting kind of fucking insane. Especially for an ice water. God. Yeah, dude, all I did was order 99 ice waters, dude. What the fuck? You got to give me his 99 cups. I'll take care of the rest. Yeah, exactly. I, I, you know, hey, I, sorry, I've been waiting like 30 minutes for this. I, like, could I, can I just make sure that it's still, it's, you know, still happening? I'm still getting my food. And then she was like, oh, I'm so sorry, sir. And then she just said like, okay, one moment, one moment. And she looks back and she's like, hey, the guy front's pissed.

And I was like, what do you mean? I'm not pissed. Why didn't? God, dude. She was like, this guy's fucking pissed right now. He's going to start punching and kicking, punching and kicking us. You got to bring him his fucking cheeseburger. If you don't make that cheeseburger right now, he's going to fucking come back there.

I was like, dude, what the fuck? No, I'm not. I'm not doing anything. We're about to hop the counter and start throwing hands immediately. You're putting your hands in fry oil and burning them up. Dude, I don't know why she did that. I felt so insane when she did that. Yeah.

I'm not the time. Don't get mad like that. What was your order? Ice water. 99 ice water. It was, uh, fuck. What was it was, uh, boo wanted a, uh, breakfast sandwich.

So they had to restart the breakfast grill thing. I'm becoming more and more on McDonald's side. But I'm not, I, it's, it never takes this long. Yeah, can you reset the grill for egg right now at 10 fucking PM? Also, 99 ice waters. Yeah. Also, dude, I fucking, I knew, I knew it was going to take a while, but I, 30 minutes is kind of crazy.

I'll give, I'll give you that. Like, 30 minutes to reset a grill is fucking. Like, 30 minutes is actually insane, man. Like, I worked there in the past. I know it doesn't take that long. Billy's leaving out that there were 30 starving orphans in front of him. frying the McDonald's, the McDonald's three items, all getting a small fry. And McDonald's had like literally the McDonald's mayor there, like the mayor cheeseburger

head. Mayor McCheas. Mayor McCheese. Yeah, are you, yeah, I was going to say. How dare you not put respect his name? He's not in the McDonald's VHS tapes. I don't fucking care. Mayor McCheese is not in the, are you fucking kidding me?

He's not in the VHS tapes. He doesn't count. He's not canon to me. There's McDonald, his dog Sunday. Billy, why'd you start kicking all the orphans? What was that about? In my way. They were working for him

They had to carry the ice waters to his car True I was wearing my fucking I was a barren actually You were at your Pied Piper outfit You were like I'm the Apple Pied Piper Oh new McDonald's character

The Apple Pied Piper Yeah Oh that's really good And then he abducts children Ronald if you're listening You gotta pay us if you use them Ronald if you're listening You have to create a character

that abducts children now They already got the hamburger glue. So, wait, do they still do all day breakfast in fucking Canada at McDonald's? They do, and I think they hate it. Oh, that's awful. Yeah, man, they stopped doing that shit here, like ages ago. There would be like, all right,

it cuts off at a, like, I think it was like a 11am. Yeah. I think they stopped doing it, which is like valid. It should be, because it takes fucking forever. Also, like, the grill is being used for other shit. And the thing is, the thing is the moment that you had, you switch from making eggs

on that grill to making beef, you have to fucking deep clean it because people are allergic to eggs. So that was a whole fucking, it was like a whole fucking adventure just to get that fucking food. Yeah, I know, she's just fucking

telling it, like, he's best, he's coming back here. If some people have to die from egg-related allergies, but you don't have to wait 30 minutes for your fucking breakfast sandwich at, I don't know, 7 p.m. This is why I'm

said that the Cosmix closed. Wait, Cosmix doesn't exist anymore? No, they defunct six months ago they're closing locations, yeah. Oh, weird. I always found it super interesting that that even existed in the first place. I really wanted to try the fucking, like, weird hash brown bites they had and the fucking spicy casso sandwich. For context, for, for, for people who are normal and don't know what Cosmix is, it was like a drinking beverage based McDonald's spino. Yeah. They had a Churro Frapecino. They were trying to do Starbucks stuff. So they had like an island pick me a punch, a berry, hibiscus, sour aid.

Okay, you know. A turmeric spice latte. I'm looking at a menu right now. Okay. I know all of it. I have the menu memorized. Bro was feeding so fucking hard. He was just, he was just like reading the menu every night before bed.

Dude, they had a snack box that you could get a hearty mix of smoked Gouda, cheese, sliced pepperoni, flaxseed crackers, and a handful of almonds and dried crampers. berries. What the fuck? I know about crackers. Holy shit, they had McPoppers. No fucking way. McPoppers. Is this like a direct fucking like competitor to those Mormon like fucking soda shops that they have? No, it's a direct competitor to just star, but they're just trying to get Gen Z like the, I need my fucking tree. It's the treaters line. Like my frat or my frat.

I need my frat and my tree. I don't know if they were at, were they actually going after that crowd? I'm looking at them in you now. and it does look. I remember watching a video on it, and I was like, oh, that's nice. I only gave the shit a year, man. That's, that's crazy. It didn't pop off. And they also, like, the locations where I think one in Illinois, a couple in Texas.

Like, they weren't trying that hard. Was it actually just one year that it existed? It was 2024. It was just they opened up, let's see, Texas, Dallas, Wittaga, and San Antonio. So a lot of Texas locations for some done fucking reason. And then one Illinois location. Texas is big. I don't know what to tell you.

Wasn't there one that was in Florida, or am I crazy? Maybe. I'm just looking at the original, like, opening locations. I remember watching a video by a Floridian about it. I'm pretty sure. Billiam on YouTube is from Florida. Yeah. As soon as he's a Floridian guy talking about a weird thing that nobody's ever heard of,

I was like, it's a billion. I like that guy. Dude, we share a name. It's fucked up. Cosmix actually reminds me of GameStop Kids, because that was also a short-lived experience. Wait, what? Oh, okay.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, GameStop for a kid? Like, it was before I worked there. And they tried to open up a pop-up gamestop kids locations. And one of them was a test market in my fucking town. Before I worked there, mind you. So like this is, I think I was working at Staples or Sonic at the time. And GameStop Kids was in the same mall as the GameStop, but they only had, you walked in and they had the saddest rack of just Minecraft merchandise and that was it.

They got to have some fucking Pokemon shit in there as well. They don't even have like any. M-rated games that they try to like talk your parents down off of. Let me see if I can find that. Yeah, I don't even think they had games. I think it was all merch. Let me see if I can fucking find the picture. I mean, our version of fucking GameStop EB Games has pretty much just turned into that now.

Listen, I worked at GameStop. It is that. But yeah, the GameStop kids' locations were separate and they were terrible. They had like Lego sets. It was basically what GameStop has turned into now. But I remember the one at our mall was horrible. Yeah, no. That just looks like what our E.

looks like now where it's just fucking there there's you're going there you're either paying $20 extra on what a new video game looking at the fucking pitiful selection of pre-owned games that they have or you're buying like a fucking pop vinyl pre-owned games I thought there was an another type of eb games but I cannot remember the fuck they're called like they're they're like eb games selects or some shit and it's it's literally just it's just an eb games with no video games. It's just like pop finals and merch. Speaking on retail, actually, I did have a memory awoken recently because I've been talking

to some old Best Buy coworkers again. I completely and utterly forgot about some Best Buy lore if you would like me to dump that. I'll go for it. A must. This is a must for this episode. So we had a regular customer for a while and we kind of adopted his like saying because he would come in. He'd be kind of friendly, a little weird. But he always say, I'll come back. I'll be back Friday. I'll be back Friday. You know, I have the money by I'll be back Friday. And he says that all the time. Like,

you'd come in at least once a week, would usually deal with a couple of the sales associates. I'd see him maybe once or twice, but he'd always come at just be back Friday. Like, nice enough guy, like not a huge problem. A little annoying sometimes,

but just dude would come in constantly. Be back Friday. I'll be back Friday. I think I'll pick that up. I'll be back Friday. He stopped coming in because he got hit by a car. What do you mean? Like, like one day,

while I'm not working, while I'm not working, I had to hear it from another coworker. the memories surfaced back because we were talking about it is one day he comes in is looking at stuff says be back Friday goes out to the parking lot and immediately a car peels into him

it happened it's not funny but it's fucking holy shit what day did it happen on not Friday I don't it was not a Friday it was not a Friday he said he'd be back Friday Jesus Christ

why'd you say law bro that's fucking best by trauma like holy five. One of those things I completely and utterly forgotten about because he was just, I couldn't even like he wasn't like one of the regulars that I dealt with often but all the salespeople picked up the tick and then I picked up the tick

even though I didn't arrest. I was a customer service this time so it was like just getting brain blasted with it because I'd forgotten it had happened. God damn. Jesus Christ. Did it happened like immediately the moment bro got out? It was just like well it was like the moment he left this store. It was like

a family guy gag is what I was told where a car immediately like a scary movie when that kid gets run over that's so awful be back Friday I don't think we ever saw him again after that did you think he died like I don't know dude Billy thank you for asking I was scared to ask well I'm not I'm not afraid of anything if he wasn't back Friday

oh man that's what I'm saying like if he wasn't back Friday Well, it was because they were telling me about the B-back flight again because they had forgotten about her co-worker who was a security guard who, when he got a new job, basically quit his job by constantly shitting his pants and going home. What? Have I not talked about that on the podcast? We had a security guard for a while who, at Best Buy, he was like security, so yellow shirt. And he got a new job that was a full-time job, but he didn't want to quit. And so for his last like two weeks there to leave early, I would just see him go, and he'd grab his butt. He'd run to the bathroom past me at customer service counter.

run into the bathroom and then come out covered in like paper towels and then leave. And it happened like four or five times where he would shit his pants and then leave where it can not come back. That's beast mode. Same kind of guy who while he worked there had to be told by managers while he worked there that he had to go home and shower because he smelled so bad. Oh, he actually shit. I don't know what I'm kind of.

Well, outside of the shitting his pants, he would have to get told to go home and change his shirt because he smelled. like rancid ass. I'm, I don't know why I'm surprised when you said, oh, he shit himself. I thought it was, I don't know. I didn't think he would actually shit himself. Like pretend to shit himself. No, he just shit himself every day for like four days and then just stopped coming to

work. I mean, yeah. I mean, most people would probably prefer to pretend to shit themselves instead of actually shitting themselves, I think. You just go, oh, oh, I don't feel so good. I don't actually feel that good, brother. How do you think, how are you doing today, brother? I don't feel so good.

I've been having a bad time. They put me in a factory now. That's what I work now. Work as a factory. He works at the shit factory. I don't know what he was doing. Yeah. The shit assembly line.

Come on, guys. Alliteration is a very important thing. It's fucking, yeah, podcasting 101 fellas. All right. All right. Aliterative, snappy into the point. Be illiterate and alliterate. Those are my rules.

I and A. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I ever told a story about the time that a guy like spawn camped me getting off the bus he what to just like spawn camped you off the bus yeah I was taking the bus home and uh my my stop is like in front of a little corner store and I get out and there's a guy just like crouched in front of it and he sees me and starts

like don't shoot not running or sprinting but just like sauntering pretty quickly over to me and I was like okay you know what is like what's going on because it's it's the middle of the night so for a second I'm like okay what is this guy like doing is he just going to come up and ask for money and he comes over and he's like hey hey Hey man, how you do? Hey, nice beard, by the way. And then he, like, keeps walking closer to me. He goes, listen, man, I'm from Florida.

I came up here. So I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm rough, man. So I'm, I'm sitting there. I'm like, okay, well, this guy's just going to like, he's going to do his whole spiel. He's going to ask me for money. And I'm going to go, sorry, man, I don't have a cash because I don't have any cash on me. As soon as I think that he goes, I'm not like asking for money or anything.

So now it's like, now I have to listen because this strange man just ran up to me on the street. Fresh off the boss, I took like three steps off the bus before. he ran over to me and he's like yeah I I'm from Tampa originally and like I was coming up here to meet somebody you know like my girlfriend moved here and she just like don't me over text like again I'm not asking for money anything but like you have like a like a dealer or anything and I was like oh no man sorry like I really don't he goes oh you know like okay failed the speech check immediately he was like man that's that's fine it's just like you know like I'm from Florida and like I did like I don't have any money on me or anything I could just I just really

use some like coke right now man like you know really a guy like me could just like score some coke and I was like no I really don't I'm sorry I just not my kind of thing and he goes okay well guess just like yes yes he was this was the perfect time to give this guy a quest I'm not going to lie this was the perfect time yeah bro you look around for the next shady guy under the old saintly bridge beyond the church of yore there you will find such many coke you'll find the bountiful score oh my god you could have gone on a fucking vision quiz with this guy where like that's crazy dude i was i was so mentally staggered i just got off the bus i took three steps and this guy goes could you guess where a guy like me could procure some cocaine he said he said guess

go to truck stops yes is crazy tell people to go to i just tell go to truck stops hey man you know where and get some weed i say go to a truck stop probably somebody there to be honest like if he just waited for the next bus to come he's probably like halfway there eventually he's going to get someone 30 70 shot yeah as soon as that happens i was like i don't even know where to start man he's like all right well like what are some bars around here and it's like okay let me just start rattling off like bars within walking distance and he goes okay cool point me in the direction of the most ratchet bar you can think of around here bro damn and i was like I was like, I was like, he's trying to find an audio log that were revealed the Coke.

Brothers trying to find the diabetic storytelling. Bro is actually going through it, man. It's sad. I was like, well, this bar here is like not really ratchet, but it's really popular. But if you want the ratchet one, like, it's not as popular so you could try these two. And he's like, are they far from here? And I was like, no, it's probably like one of them is pointing at it. It's like right behind you.

And the other one is like, you don't go down the street and walk for like maybe seven minutes and you're there. And he was like, oh, you know, hey. thanks man and he starts walking away and he like turns over his shoulder to like half spin around to me and he goes hey man when I said nice beard I meant it and then he kept laughing on his way

yeah that's sick actually that guy hit by car is so fucked up yeah I hope that guy got some cocaine he said he didn't have any money on him so I don't know how I got it I'll gladly pay you fly day for some coke today be back Friday it's a problem

Yeah, there was like a split second where I was like, this guy's going to rob me. I think I'm like two steps away from being able to get a hold of cocaine. I'm sure if I put my mind to it, I can. This guy gave me a great starting point. Well, I'm going to my mind palace and I'm like, I could probably refer that guy to somebody. This guy walked me through the starting phases of procuring cocaine. I just need to find the most ratchet bar in walking distance. You said truck stop.

I mean, also truck stops. Truck stop, that's the easiest place to do it. This is not real advice, PST listener. They will not give it to you. It's not, but that's where you're going to find it. That's what truckers are on. They won't give it to you there. Don't go and ask.

They won't give it to you. It's called the gorilla pill, buddy. Just take it. Okay, well, they'll give you that one. Oh, oh, Seth Rogen was selling that. You're going to take my guerrilla peel. It's what turned him into donkey collie. Why do I always say Seth Rogen when I meet the other one?

James Franco. No. What's the other one call? Joe Rogan. Oh, Jogan. Jonathan Roke. You know, I was thinking about this. Jogan is kind of the only man who is all torso.

That's crazy. They built one. Dude, I don't know what to tell you, man. They, they all. look the same him and fucking Elon Musk have built the exact same way it's so fucked up inflated yeah it's so great well actually it's like from Rogan it's all up top he's top heavy Elon Musk is all bottom heavy yeah big dumpy on that guy he's swinging that thing he's a load bearing load bearing bottom he he's walking around like

Homer Simpson essentially the guy from fortnight yeah the guy from fortnight nipples are no nipples what are you talking about yeah the nipple from fortnight oh we're just we're just mind palacing dude I'm in the mind caves right now I'm seeking deep knowledge. I'm looking for depth. Oh, dude. Having a fucking mine cave instead of a mine palace is actually excellent. Yeah, well, people tell me I'm already in your mind palace, Brennan. I'm like, you're fucking stupid.

I'm lost in the caves, buddy. I can't find my around. There's a bat boy rattling around somewhere down here. Oh, we're back at fucking bat boy. There it is. Don't, don't take the gorilla pill. Apparently's got a hidden drug ingredient. That's why I'm taking it. Yeah, it's got bald powder. What is the gorilla pill? Is that

a Rogan thing? It's like, it's a fucking Viagra. It's gas station The FDA is like, don't take it Yeah, well, it's because a lot of the pills have traces of Viagra in them too And then also like a lot of them are literally just caffeine in Quarana So they're just a heart stopper pills

It depends on what one you get The funniest ones I think I've seen are the ones that come in like actual little satchels Or cases and it's one pill Satchels? Yeah You can get them in like a little satchel Like you buy your gas station pill with a fucking pilot Be like oh buddy this thing's gonna make my coxel rock hard

It's gonna pop off and like the thinghead Gonna walk around like a spider Erection so hard It gave my fucking dick sentience. Speaking of caffeine and gorine, Panera should bring back that lemonade that was killing people. I want to try it. I miss it the first time around. Oh, true.

I'm mad about the turbo lemonade because I remember my first, do I have ADHD moment as a kid in high school. I bought this science and nutrition drink off of a friend that was supposed to be a pre-workout. You were only supposed to drink one fourth of it. It was the most academically satisfying day I've had in my life. New YouTube video idea. We go drink for drink at the Panera bread. But each time, because to bypass the limit for one, customer we come in in a different costume we're coming to different disguises yeah man and

we just see who dies first i don't know if there's anyone who can handle caffeine like me that's i don't drink alcohol but when it comes to caffeine i don't know if there's anybody you can throw it back like me sounds like a challenge i had a 12 monster day once i was fine 12 monster well i've had a 12 well black friday i think i had a 15 monster day and a five trucker pill caffeine pill day so that was probably like 3 000 milligrams of Holy fuck. Bro's got kidney boulders. They're not coming out, man.

Never had a kidney stone in my life. This black fright? Are you talking about this black fry? That was when I was working retail. It was Black Friday days. Oh, I thought you were talking about it like right, like this fucking week. I was like, Jesus Christ. No, I'm low on the caffeine.

They got me on the, they got my ADHD medicine. I drink maybe two to 300 milligrams at most in a day versus like 800 in a day that I'd normally have. If you rattle Brendan around those kidney stones will sound like a cold. Literally, I don't have testicles. They're rock hard. Burrs, listen to Al-Gaib the way he's fucking seeing the future. Holy shit. Rest my balls on your face, call that the gum jabber. The gum jabber.

Dune, probably. Star Wars. Star Wars, yeah. Star Wars is such a fucking Dune-like that Frank Herbert literally makes fun of it in the later book. The Star Trek remake is also another one I find. Predator Badlands is a Dune-like because it's got a worm. Oh, spoilers. I haven't seen that yet.

Oh, it's good. I like dude. Don't have a woman as well. That makes it less of a Dune-like having a woman. Honestly, Praterer Badlands is more of a Guardians of the Galaxy like. There are women in Dune. They're all, they're in that TV show. Yeah, Zendaya is Michi, dude. Don't you remember? Bro does not know

what the last words of the first book are Zendaya Zendaya is Michi they say to the book Frank Herbert was like holy shit I hope Zendaya plays this Frank Herbert was looking at his scrolls and he was like bitch what if this is a word He's fucking watching victorious or whatever the show she was on

Cameron since you're a dunehead actually really fun bit book recommendation for you Arlen Ellison's still watching Always Arlen Ennisons He's still watching. Okay, I'll put that on the list. He's got a couple of movie reviews.

It's all his movie reviews, but the funniest one is the story he tells about Ridley Scott coming to him because Ridley Scott got pegged for a Dune movie first, and Ridley Scott being like, I need you to write my Dune movie and Harle Ellison going, fucking no, absolutely fucking not. I'd rather die.

I'd rather die. That's the same reaction. What's, oh my God, what's his name? Oh, dude, he hates, I've talked about that before. His favorite sci-fi movie for a while was Splash.

He hates fucking Gremlins. What is Splash? Oh, wait, is it endlessly watching? Is that what you mean? I think it's like watching or still watching. It's been a little bit since I've read it. I was just trying to find it. I've got endlessly watching by Halen Ellison.

I don't know if that's the one. Oh, no, it's just called watching. It's just called watching. Oh, watching. Okay, okay, okay, okay. I'll put it on. Endlessly watching, I think, is an updated. I think it's an updated version of it, but I read, I believe, an older version.

Gotcha. He's such a critter. He's so interesting. Every time you bring up anything about him, I'm like, man, what a fucking thing he is. He, I love that he hated Gremlins because he's like, they're not like the Gremlins when I was a child, little funny creatures. They were evil and I hated that. And also I understand why he hated Star Wars. Dude, I get, I get why he hated Star Wars because the story he tells is that one of the very first Trekkie conventions.

Star Wars had come out and all the people in the crowd were only asking the writers about fucking Star Wars. That would piss me off. That's got to be the torture deck. That's got to be awful. It would suck, man. That's like going to a convention for me and people are only asking me, Wins Tales from Fortune and Coming Back, buddy, and I'd kill myself on the spot. But he's such a goober, it's great.

Plus, he just lies all the time. What do you mean by that? He just lies. Like, I don't know if the Ridley Scott story is real. It's probably fake, but he just loves to lie. He's a liar who fucked and hated. Got to respect it. That's beast mode.

It's a goaded bit. Otherwise, I don't know. I've been reading Terry Pratchett. That's a lot of fun. Dick World. I read one of the, the fucking book that's coming. by the guy who wrote The Martian, he wrote this one that's

being turned into a movie of Ryan Gosling. And it's, dude, his books are so fucking easy to read, man. I read Martian a while ago. The other one is on my list. Let me go to my fucking Bud Reads. As I know, I put it all quiet on the best in front. No, that's a different book. What the fuck? The best in front. Yeah,

it was the blest of times. It was the blurst of times. Stupid monkey. Oh, that's a reference. To Fortnite. The one book that I thought was funny that I need Billy to read with me is the M. Knight Shamelon-Nich-Spark's book Remain. What? Yeah, I need Billy to read that with me. We need the book club that. Oh, no, dude. There's nothing. You're fucking kidding me that there's a fucking... The guy who wrote the notebook, wrote a book with fucking M. Night Shyamalan. I have to read it. We have to. Oh, mother. You fucking know

I have to read that. Yeah, I know you have to read that. M. Night Shyamalan might be one of the worst writers ever. With the notebook guy and the notebook fucking sucks. I, that is, that's like a terrorist act, dude. What the actual... Yeah, I know. That's why I was like, what the fuck is I like to look at new releases for books and I saw that and I went, that's going on my list. Billy needs to know about that. New! New! New! This came out in October! What the fuck?

It's brand new. Why? Oh, dude, I have to read that. What is it called? It's called Remain. It is, let me read the, when New York architect Tate Donovan arrives in Cape Cod to design his best friend Summer Home, he's hoping to make a fresh start. Recently discharged from an upscale psychiatric facility where he was treated

for acute depression. He's still wrestling with the pain of losing his beloved sister. Sylvia's deathbed revelation that she can see spirits who are still tethered to the living world, the gift that runs in their family, still sits, eat uneasily, it's fucking supernatural bed and breakfast. Give me one set. I need to check if it's on fucking Libro. It's good,

it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, I don't want to read it, I want to listen to it. It's a paranormal romance. Let's go. Oh my God, and they're making a movie of it with Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dinaver. Yeah, that's what I was saying. That's what I was saying. Oh, my God. He's turning into a movie. Oh, it's, it is here.

Oh, it, it is here. Oh, oh. Let's go. Speaking of a movie, I'm excited about this Silent Hill movie. It's going to be crap. I'm so fucking pumped. They're making another Silent Hill movie? Yes, they are.

Yeah, with Akiriamaoka directly involved. I know they're just remaking Silent Hill 2 into a movie. It's going to be so fucking slop. I'm so excited. The person that reads, that's narrating the fucking book is Nicholas spark himself.

God fucking damn it. That's some airport garbage right there, but that's some airport sloppy topy right there. You're fucking bored for a flight. It is. You're so right. though because that's the type of shit my fucking mom would buy at the airport and be she would like read two chapters and be like this is amazing and then never read the rest fuck i hate dude i cannot

stand nicholas spark dude i don't fucking i that's like two people i hate man it's crazy i know i saw i just saw that i just bought it it's so short it's like it's eight hours it's only like 350 pages yeah Oh, it's a super short book Oh, it's not too long. I'm excited. God damn it. I'm okay. Okay, I'll do it, but I'm listening

it two times. I hope it's like House of Leaves and you got to fucking like read like upside down and shit. Brendan, have we ever talked about on the podcast how we read like dog shit books and just freak the fuck out in our DMs?

I'll read a dog shit book and I'm like, Billy needs to read this. If I read something really, awful. I'm like, Billy needs to read it. If it's something related to, it's you and Mandy, if it's something related to something that Mandy would be interested in, I'm immediately like, you need to fucking read this. If it's horror and

dog shit, I have to send it to you. Those are the rules. What was the one with the trans child? I'm looking at, I'm looking at my list. Oh, my God. It was, that book pissed me off so much. Hidden Pictures by Jason Reculak is dog shit. Oh my, that

book is so fucking insane. my God, dude, we should I know we talk about it in a joking way but dead ass maybe we should just have a fucking book thing a book podcast because some of the fucking shit we've read is so unbelievably terrible. Yeah, I, this is hidden pictures,

hidden pictures to give you an idea of what the book is about is a woman who is fresh out of rehab goes and takes a job as a babysitter for a couple for their five-year-old son Teddy. Turns out there's a supernatural force in the house, but it also turns out that Teddy is not a boy. The parents are making him dress up like a boy and treating

him like a boy because they abducted him and killed his mother and the mother is haunting the family. And they're like hyper-liberal, like super-liberal. You make it sound better than it is. 4.15 on Goodreads, guys. This got to be fucking a banger. It's the parents are like liberal stereotypes

like one to five. There are five on like the liberal like we're doctors and our child will be so smart. We will give them thinking toys. It is it is like it is like ratcheted up to we are so liberal the thinking man's toy I hate that book it pissed me off so I play dude you know when I I fuck it because I didn't read it because no fucking way I was reading it I fucking listen to it on uh uh like a fucking audiobook I was playing through fucking yakuza infinite wealth while playing it so I was already

pissed because that game pisses me off and then I had to I was listening to I was listening listening to this total fucking garbage. I was not having a good time, man. It was a tough one. Yup. It is a, it is a genuinely dog shit book. It is I cannot. There was another one, the haunted house one that you told me to read. That one was horrific. Was that incidents around the house? No, it was the one where the house becomes a kaiju. That's right. So that's, that's, that's, that's Grady Hendricks. Not the house becomes a kaiju, the puppet. There's a giant puppet kaiju fight at the end. Oh, it's the puppet. It's, It's the puppet.

Yeah, it's the Grady Hendricks books. It's like, oh, dude, Grady Hendricks, man. What a hack. Well, I like that one that he wrote, but only because it's fucking stupid. But then I read Final Girl Support Group, and that one's really fucking dumb. Because what if the final girls from all of the serial killer movies? What if they were real people? And what if their killers were trying to come back and freaking get them?

I was recommended that one a few times. There's a part in the book where the main character girl, who is the girl from trolls, supposed to be the girl from trolls. No, it's Silent Night, Deadly Nighter Troll. I can't remember. Wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, actual? Yeah, it's... Actual?

Yeah, well, they're all fake movies. So, like, you have, like, Freddy, but he's not called Freddy. You have, like, Jason, but he's not called Jason, so you have, like, Jason. His name is farty, the way he'd be shedding. His name is, like, the Dream King, right? I think the... Oh, that's so lame. Come on.

Legally distinct slashers. The Jason Final Girl dies first. The main character is supposed to be Silent Night Deadly Nights, like, protagonist, like, Final Girl. It's real... Yeah, of all the movies. Yeah. Of all the movies. Yeah.

What? There's a point where she says, Don't worry, I have an extra processor and then rips a computer processor out of her apartment wall to get the backup data. Plus, the villains in that book are literally two teenagers in riot gear. There's no actual like zero killers trying to get them. Is that supposed to be like screaming? Kind of, yeah.

Like I don't remember if there was a scream survivor. I remember Freddie girl, Basin girl, and Michael Myers girl and Silent Night Girl. Dude, I fucking, I cannot stand. And Grady Hendricks, man. At least, at least how to sell Haunted House is fun. It's a really stupid book, but it's fun. Final Girl Support Group is ass. There's another book I read that I thought was absolutely fucking insane.

And I hated it. They made a fucking series on it recently fucking. It's like NOS Foratu. Oh, NOSFiratu, yeah. Yeah, that is. Yeah, NOSFiratu. Oh, that is Stephen King's son, I think, right? It's Stephen King's Son, yeah.

Dude, they're on some shit over there, man. he found his dad's coax will play dude could be genuinely the shit that they put out you just got to do what I do and sometimes just go and read a bunch of video game books and then hate yourself and then be like why did I read the Gears of War books again again that reminds me I need to read the fucking Halo

novels I've got like the is the kilo five trilogy I think it is you got to read the brute force book about Brutus no I'm not doing that yeah the Kilo 5 trilogy that's the one that I want to read because I've read one that was okay

It was like the Reach one. I fucking forget what it's called. All of Reach? Yeah, full of reach. And there's one other that was that I read. But oh, the fucking shitty Promethean books, man. I hate the Promethean books. Who cares?

I don't need this fucking dumb lore about the, oh, these forerunners, like, fucking, they're making a planet or some shit. Here's where Guilty Spark came from. Fuck off. You should really, if you want some real good shit, the original Doom books are an interesting, into dog shit.

Doom, like the 90, I want to say the 1996. 94. Am I supposed to imagine, like, the rock as, as Doom guy? I just know that the Doom need even the dead. The books are like, okay, so they're not actually demons, it's aliens. The aliens are creating the demons for an eternal war they're waging. And also the first book starts in the Middle East, so. What?

Of course. He's rip and tearing al-Qaeda, bro. It's... The Doom Marines. name is Flynn Taggart. It's so bad. I remember reading those back in high school, and they're so fucking nightmareishly bad.

I love video game books so much, though, because you can find stuff like the fact that there's a brute force book, and it's all about me when I go fucking vanguard mode as Brutus. There's so many Assassin's Creed books. Holy shit. Oh, yeah.

Five Nights and Freddy's is, I think, one of the largest ones, but that's just because the... FNAF has a billion books. A billion books. Yeah. Same as Halo. You'd be surprised, actually,

what video games... don't get books. Those are always surprising to be like, there's a rage book. There's a Killzone 3 book. Specifically Killzone 3? Yeah, but not one or two, well, because they got to do something with Killzone. I need to figure out if I have it in me to read the Def Stranding novels. Like the novelizations. Oh, I did not know they had a Death Stranding novel. The hell are they just making books for video games for? They've got two because it's, I think it's just the first game story, but in a novel form? Yeah. I'm trying to think of the weirdest

poll, but I'm really thinking that it might be that there are two watchdog books. This might be the most alienating episode of the podcast ever actually. Books, cocaine, and coming back Friday. We're talking about video game books. These are stupid. Do you know about video game? Oh my God, there is like there's like 25 nights in Freddy's books.

Yeah, one of them met, had pregnant. Dude, every fucking day I got to learn more shit about fucking five night at Freddy. Repredities. Matt Pat will really like dissecting this book page by page. Don't even give me started on Hello Neighbor. I finally played it for Slop Temp this year, and I fucking hate that game with a passion. It should be burned.

You just now played it for the first time. I never understand how there's so many, there's like three or four of them, right? So there's Hello Neighbor, Hello Neighbor 2, Hello Neighbor Secret Neighbor, Hello Neighbor, a crafting Banja Zooie Nuts and Bolt-style game, so there's four. Yeah. What? Yeah, they have a Banja Zooie Hello Neighbor style game. They also have a social, social deduction game.

Yeah, that's secret neighbor. Secret neighbor. I remember, Hello Neighbor. The funniest thing ever was that it was created just as like YouTuber bait. And it's the most like slap dash playing the game too from chapter to chapter is the most. We don't know what we're doing with the first game. So every single time you get into the next chapter, they just ramp it up and make it worse. Like the first two chapters, you can cheese a lot of the puzzles.

And then the third chapter, it's like, okay, you have to go over here and get the wire coat hanger. Then when you get the wire coat hanger, you have to heat it up. But heat it up within a specific time frame. And don't bring it to the giant magnet in the magnetron room in the neighbor's house. because then it'll steal it and you have to restart the whole run. So you have to take the wire coat hanger over to the ice and then you have to unlock the ice and then you need three specific items all built together. It's the most moon logic game I've ever played in my life and I am the moon.

Hello Neighbor 3 is coming out. I'm not, I'm burn it all down, burn it all down. I remember the-Color neighbor three. Yeah, dude, I'm going to go to the hot topic and buy the Hello Neighbor dog tags on clearance, buddy. Hello neighbor dog tags. Yeah, stolen valor, buddy. I am Markiplier. This isn't a book, but remember when there was going to be.

in Among Us TV show, and then nobody's talked about it for like two years. Elijah Wood. Katn Oswald was in a, yeah. Hey, there was going to be a TF2 TV show, too. Oh, you're totally right. That did just fucking... Yeah, do you remember that? Yeah, that just disappeared, like, just completely.

Along with Among Us's popularity. Wasn't, like, Idris Elba also in it? Idris Alba? Glenn Howard was going to be in it. It was like a crazy cast. Yeah, it was like a weirdly stacked cast. And then everybody just kind of stopped talking about it. Like two years ago.

Did they announce it at the fucking game awards? It was a game. awards announcement yeah i found news about it the voice acting is finally done for it they just have to finish animation it's not canceled yet oh it was when they announced the fucking arc tv show it wasn't it which also didn't come out did that never come out hey remember we always got this secret level episode that had concord in it so and also scary pacman that game came out the scary pacman game scary pacman did come out yeah but they put them in teckin too scary pacman or normal pacman like how fucked up are we talking uh it was it was kind of a scary. I don't know. It was kind of a scary Pac-Man. He whispers at you when you do heat

engagers. What the fuck? It scared the fucking shit out of me the first time it happens. Scary Pac-Man is the same vibe as a fucking bomber man when they made him cool and edgy. Oh, I've always loved that game. I'm literally having to check. I don't think that the arc TV show starring Vin Diesel ever came out. What does he say? I am poop. Oh my God, it was Vin Diesel. Yeah. Was he playing a dinosaur or no, he was he playing himself? There, no, this is a dude. This is a Michelle yo got an arc TV show it's called Terra Nova had one season no there there there is an arc survival evolved animated series on Paramount Plus so it did come out

that's the one with Vindiesel right no oh this is the one with Vindiesel I thought it was a live action one yeah that's what I said there was no way it didn't come out it came out it came out last year season two next year you guys ready we got to catch up season two fuck off no goddamn Michelle Yos did it whole goddamn shit season two who the fuck watched it well yeah they could put that money in the making Star Trek content that isn't dog shit, but I think another season of R could be epic. Did you say Hulu or Paramount? Paramount Plus? Even less chance.

The fuck are we? No. Russell Crow, I don't know if he's actually in the show, but he's a producer. I want him punching. I want more dinosaurs pooping. Make him shit more. Is that movie the Iron Lung movie, like, got any more announcements? It'll come out eventually. Are they going to recast you? Yeah, they're going to recast

her. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's Markiplier's going to get removed for the FNAF2 cheating controversy and they're going to put me in there, which is Curse War Reverse. How do you cheat in FNAF? He spliced a run. Oh, it was like, it's not that big of a deal. He spliced like footage, basically for a horrible, like, evil run. It's not that big of a deal. Yeah, I was going to say, that doesn't sound that crazy. It sounds... It's a YouTuber people discovering that Let's Players have K-fabe for the first time is like...

The idea of like Iron Lung putting out like a fucking Twit Longa to talk about like the Markiplier situation. We have found out Markiplier cheated by splicing 10 years ago of Fanaf too. We're going to have to remove him from the movie. He will no longer be directing and also starring in this movie. They're putting him in a real iron lung, making him big size. Not the fucking pee-p-p-p-pip-poo situation. Every fucking video like that just pisses me off. I don't care.

There's downfall of Scrimbly Bimbleau, and it's like, I was a Scribly Bimble, diehard for five years to find out he ate those eight guys all in one bite. Crazy, fuck me up. Yeah, well, Don Cheadle is a cannibal, yeah. Yeah, he ate a guy. He ate a guy. He ate a guy. This is true.

Like, that's indisputable that he ate a guy. That's so weird that you, like, mentioned that because I thought about that today, how Don Cheadle ate that guy. He tried to change his name legally to Don Edel, but just didn't work out. I mean, it wasn't, it was never going to work out. I don't know, like, what kind of shit he was on. Then he ate the justices at the courthouse, too. It was crazy. Yeah.

He's turning into a worm, like in the fourth through it, like, uh, Children of Dune. He didn't have to do that. There was like no point. Dune Cheedle. Wait a minute. Dune Cheedle, what if he was a worm? Dune Chedle. He's the worm.

What if he was a worm? What if he was a worm. I don't mean, this is just this stream of consciousness for me at this point Like I like I same We've just been fucking word vomiting for a few hours Ten how was your Thanksgiving only other American I don't know if New Zealand celebrates Thanksgiving

So I don't think now we definitely don't I know Canadian Thanksgiving is October Yeah do you know what I heard fucking fireworks On Thanksgiving so I think there's some Americans in my town Some expats Disgusting really don't worry we found them We don't worry ladies ladies and gentlemen We got them

My Thanksgiving is pretty good I just had dinner at my parents' house My wife made a big turkey, and then some family drama, but then delicious turkey. Oh, no. It's family, it's family drama. Actually, do you know what's, I think Thanksgiving's, like, placement in the year is fucked. No, I've been saying this forever. I fucking hate American Thanksgiving in November, and then immediately December is Christmas.

That's why Canadian Thanksgiving is better. It's too much. In December's Christmas, it's too much. Like, especially if you have to, like, travel for, to, like, visit family. Dude, that's so much fucking money. That's why a lot of people nowadays can't fucking go to Thanksgiving anymore because it's fucking far as hell to, and it's expensive, and you would rather just, like, put your money into going to Christmas instead of Thanksgiving, at least from what I've been told. I couldn't imagine, like, especially if you're, like, and even if you're hosting, like, buying the amount of food and then fucking spinning, like a whole day cooking that shit, and then being like, well, I got to do the same thing next month, fucking kill myself, I guess. like all you're insane

most most families you host Thanksgiving or Christmas you don't do both because that's crazy we do both you don't do both I know no like hosting hosting it usually oh oh oh okay it depends on the size of your family

sorry I misunderstood I thought you were saying okay well no I mean Thanksgiving was literally just me my sister my parents okay so it's not like a big yet okay makes more sense no because we we would have to travel when we were all working the day before and the day after so we're like oh we're not we're not driving two hours to go see the rest of my family oh dude that's that's the thing too eh that's the thing

too a lot of people just fucking work for thanksgiving man wait do you not get time off for thanksgiving or is it just like the one day uh it depends on where you work especially if your retail absolutely not because that's the day before black friday but it really depends on where you work thanksgiving i get off but i work the day before and the day after is it popular to go to the zoo like for thanksgiving i guess yeah it used to be way more popular uh uh It used to be free. And now it's closed, which is great. So Thanksgiving, I don't really understand it as a holiday.

I just know it's kind of like Christmas where you're just like, you just eat a turkey or some shit. Eat a big turkey. Watch the football. A little turkey bowl. Do you like go around the table, be like what you're thankful for? No. Is it like fucking. I mean, I feel like some people must do that.

Every single time that it happens at my family Thanksgiving, somebody starts crying and it gets really uncomfortable. So we stop doing it. It's been banned. I'm so thankful Just so overwhelmed with joy That it had to be That's cute That's sweet though

That's cute We tried it a couple of years It didn't stick Oh another tradition Blackout Wednesday You're supposed to get blagged out The name of Thanksgiving I think that's one of you

I think that's in your family That's one of yours Because my wife would kill me Because we got to do so much prep the day before Nope get Mike in here Mike will talk about it What? Mike knows what

Blackout Friday is an actual thing No blackout Wednesday Blackout Wednesday. You're thinking of Black Friday, which is a thing after Thanksgiving. Yeah. That's a different one. It's not what I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about Blackout Friday.

Bars are always super busy on the day before Thanksgiving because it's Blackout Wednesday. What? Because everybody's off the next day and you're going to eat a big turkey. There's a fine line to walk between being hung over and eat a big turkey tomorrow. Oh my God, you're right. Blackout Wednesday. Yeah. Blackout Wednesday. Yeah.

It's literally just because you're going to get fucked up anyways. You're going to eat a big turkey. I can never heard of that. Damn. You have to create the sickness. you can enjoy the cure. It would be, it would actually be a cure as well.

Yeah. We, um, we get Black Friday sales here. I think it's like a global thing at this point now. Oh, that's, yeah.

And Joltz cooked, like supermarkets are doing fucking Black Friday sales now as well. Oh God, dude, I wish they were doing that here. Instead, TVs are the pre-tariff price. Yeah.

Oh, God. Yeah, it's like, it's like here, man, you can get your eggs for like a normal price for one day only. Oh, awesome. Yeah. Black Friday really lost its luster when it turned into

an online all week thing. You used to have to show up the Walmart ready to die for those prices. I was at the wall during Black Friday. I remember. That's how I bought my fucking Xbox 360 as a kid. I was there. I was at the wall. They stationed me there right before the customers came. I was there at the wall.

They opened the doors and I had to fight them off. Slowly but surely, I had to make my way back to the TV stand and make sure that nobody got off the doorbusters. Can't buy more than one, ma'am. You can only take one. You got to sit up the fucking Nathan for you, alligator trap. Black Friday got me staring into the fog.

55 inch 4K television, $195, but you also got to throw down with me in the aisle to get to it. The GameStop graveyard shift at Black Friday was so fucking fun because every four years I would work 11 p.m. to 11 a.m. on Black Friday, so 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving to 11 a.m. And every single time the store would be deader than a fucking doorknail at GameStop. But there would always be one old guy coming in and being like, You'll have Windows 10.

You got a Windows key here. I had it happened twice to me on Black Friday where one random old guy would come in. You'll have windows here. I need a Windows key. This is a game stop, sir. I worked a lot of Black Fridays because my Black Friday was, my McDonald's was inside of a Walmart. And holy fucking shit, dude. Do you guys have a, wait, I think this is a New Zealand thing.

Do you guys ever heard about a crate day? Crate day. Crate day. It's basically on six, the first Saturday of December, every year is a freight day. And so basically you buy a crate of, of beer, which are like 740-mill bottles, like almost, almost liter bottles of, of beer. And you get, I think it's like 12 of them. And you start like crack of dawn in the morning and you just drink all day. And it's like, that's literally the whole thing.

and like I think um it started because the like alcohol companies like started making those crates like available and like cheap on that day in December because it's like it's summer for us obviously so it's like a nice time to actually be day drinking but it's so cooked in like art and like um where I live because it's just like a very student heavy city so it's just there's just every single time it's just it's just fucked because people who just get so fucked up that's our version of Thanksgiving I guess you just need a whole date do that? It's 12 1 litre bottles, man. It's a beer an hour. It's like, is the fucking go, but sometimes people drink more. You're usually fucked up by like midday. The weaker version of the 9-99 challenge. Because usually you start on a completely

empty stomach as well. That's the other thing. That's what the beer's for? As soon as you wake up, you just go for it. That is what the beer's for. It's true. It's heavy in carbs. Speaking of carbs. Patreon questions, which aren't actually from Patreon? I see. Blue Sky.

Blue sky questions. Woke questions. I'm going to be honest. Yeah, I thought that we wouldn't have any, like, anything to talk about. And then we ended up, like, talking for an hour. So I was kind of hoping that questions that we would get from Blue Sky would help. But I guess we did our own thing. We also have the Patreon questions from actual patrons.

It's for Christmas. Christmas is a time for sharing and you must share your page. Patreon privileges for this episode. That's my decision, and you have to, you have to say yes. No refunds. No refunds. Keeping on the holiday discussion, I got, I got a question right here. Yes. At Sponge Guy

on Blue Sky Social. Asked what underutilized holiday. Bam. Yeah, double whammy, what underutilized holiday could make for a good horror movie? My birthday. U.S. holiday? Just, honestly, just any holiday. Cameron, if you want to do

a crate day horror movie, you can. It's not really a holiday Blackout Wednesday though Is it like Shutter Island Shutter Island is barely A horror movie Dude it's not a horror movie Yeah I was gonna say

I'm just thinking about movies Or people can't remember things Immediately Shutter Island came to memory Instead of the hangover Memento but he drinks a beer Memento with one beer One beer yeah one beer yeah one beer I'm thinking

I'm thinking St. Jean-Baptist which is it's basically like Quebec Day like our like Quebec Day and it would the killer it would be a slasher and the killer would be somebody dressed as a patriot Patriot. Didn't they do

a Purge movie that was kind of the Patriot whole thing though? It's a different type It's a different type of Patriotism is not Yeah it's that They did make a lot of purge. I, you know, real quick, just a tangent. I don't think those movies are that bad.

I've never seen them. That first movie is boring as fuck, and I hate it because it just doesn't explore anything thematically interesting. And then the other movies are really fun little action horror movies with some interesting things to say, although they're still made by Blumhouse, so they can't really, they can't really say too much. They can't dig into too much of the politics involved, but it is, it is interesting. And I like those movies.

They, they have likable characters as well. I've got one. Yes. It's Labor Day. And then a group of billionaires wake up in an infinite Best Buy. Oh, quiet. Fucking Infinite IKEA shit. They have to work.

And then if they, uh, what, what's something you can get fired for in Best Buy, Brendan? Shitting your pants and going home four days in a row. Shitting your pants and not going home. my guess. Being back flighter. Being back flighting. I don't know. They get killed if they do they, I don't know, walk outside

or some shit. I just like the idea of an infinite Best Buy. Well, they can't walk outside if it's infinite. How do they get out? The front door's there because people come in and buy stuff, but like, you can't like... I thought they would just spawn in. Spawn in? Like it's a fucking like what, like... Just, you know,

zero to 100 opacity type thing. Spawn in, billionaire load out. Yeah, man. Yeah, they're stuck in supermarkets. Simulator. They're stuck in one of those fucking Steam AI simulators that keep popping up everywhere. Like fucking weed cellar

94. Damn, I had an idea and I was going to say it out loud and realize that I was just going to do Rob Zombies 31, but it was going to be New Year's Eve. Rob Zombies 31? Yeah, you were to be 31? There is a New Year's Eve horror movie. It's called New Year's

evil. And there's also bloody New Year. Both fucking terrible. the way but really funny. I'll make it good. Oh, I was thinking of that um dot com. The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, fuck it. Fear.com. No, no, no, no, no. The, um, I'm not dot com. What was it called? Like, you know how the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, way, Y2K. Oh, I did, the, that was an A2K. I, I, I, I want to go see, I want, well, I say want to go. I want to see it, because it has Limp Biscuit on the soundtrack. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, it, it looks like a fun, like, like, like, horror.

comedy so I was thinking it would be funny to go see it yeah but yeah no that did that did come up like last year it was my original idea then I removed it was an actual movie I was like 1999 it's really it's really hard because the thing is Y2K's real yeah exactly the thing with those I mean Y2K in that movie aren't or isn't like the TV becomes sentient and wants to kill you oh is that what it is I think I think it was literally everything stops working which is like no that no it's a comedy it's a comedy where I think like the Y2K bug is that everything is in it yeah that's why I said I haven't seen it yet me neither Billy do you know that warframe has an expansion that is also exactly that it's actually what it's a Y2K expansion yeah what is Warframe anymore yeah it almost got me back in there was a Y2K

expansion and I said like what do you mean by that man like it's 1999 and you're fighting robot like TVs and shit okay sure I don't know you could do April Fool's Day there has to be an April Fool's horror movie already. That's the thing. Like, if you can think of a, like, holiday, there's probably going to be a horror movie. And also, I just realized, Y2K is not a holiday. Y2K was

not a holiday. That was an event. Y2K happens on New Year's Eve, or New Year's Day. Yeah, it's not a holiday. Oh, I mean, I guess, but it's not the holiday itself. Okay. Let me see here. Holidays that we forget about. Yeah, it's kind of like how don't breathe is a Veterans Day holiday horror movie. True.

National men make dinner Day on November 5th in the United States. What if men make dinner and try to kill you? No, that's the menu. They already did that. Oh, shit.

That's awesome. That's so fucking stupid. Why is National Men make dinner? When is that? I'm going to make a really big deal about celebrating it. November 5th.

Oh, I missed it. Damn. We just missed it, actually. We're not performative enough. There's another one called Have a Bad Day Day. November 19th. This is stupid. There's no way these are real. Have a bad day day. Go outside and do something that's fucking awful. Is there a boxing day horror movie actually? A box trolls. I don't even know what boxing day technically is. I know it's a thing in Canada and the UK, but I don't even know like what it's supposed to be for. I don't know either. It's just the day after. It's just the day after Christmas and it's basically Black Friday. Do Festivist horror movie. They did. It's called the Adams family. They did. It's called Seinfeld. Dave's main man

asks, how do you guys feel about modern Christmas decorations? Fucking, like, I assume this is like the beige, beige mom like fucking gray and silver Christmas decorations versus gray, white and silver. Rather than like the, like the super bright.

I can't believe that the moms are trying to fucking, they're trying to Epic Mickey us. The moms are trying to Epic Mickey is so fucking hard. The moms are Epic Mickey. They're trying to take all the color out of the world. I got to go talk to Blimblow Disney about this. There's like, Um, I fucking get these rage bait TikToks, uh, oh, I used to get them all the time where it would be someone like, it's like, update this, uh, this old, like chimney with me. And it's just them painting over a fucking, white and beige, white and beige over like beautiful brick. And you're just like, what the fuck is happening? That I know what they're talking about is I just don't. Yeah, I don't like that. I don't know. Like, I, I truly don't care. Everybody's trying to follow the severance design protocol. And I'm like, please stop making.

your house look like Apple TV. I don't care because, like, it's the current trend and it's going to change soon. It's been like this for so long, though. Don't worry. Once the minimalism ends, we're going to get maximalism. Everything's going to look like a rainforest cafe. Everybody's going to be wearing jinkgo jeans. Everything's going to, we're going to have animatronics.

I have my silver speed suit ready. We better go buy our silver speed suits. Everybody's going to be wearing them. All your unsightly bulges will be on display. You have to put the speed suit on, buddy. really fucking took me out of what I was just saying. I don't even remember what the fuck I wanted to say anymore. That really fucking hurt me, man. What the fuck was I going to say? Fuck. Fuck you. What the fuck was that? Rare that I get to flashbang Billy and current year.

No, it really isn't. I get flashbang pretty often with you around. Fuck, what was I going to say? Something about Christmas. I don't know. Oh, Christmas villages. I miss Christmas villages. That's like one of the only things I will say. Like when I was growing up, Growing up, like, we have like this really... Well, they got them now, but they'll steal your catalytic converters, so... Nice. I don't know if it's still popular to, like, sit down with the family and make your little elf, your fucking little village with little people and trains.

I mean, if you have, if you have child and children around you, probably. Yeah, probably, actually. Like, we're not, Shelby and aren't painting eggs on Easter. We don't got to paint eggs. We just eat egg. Yeah, you know, I guess what I'm saying is I wish I was a man baby and I was still fucking going Goo Goo Goo Goo Gaga and making little elf village. for Christmas.

Born to be a podcaster, forced to be a Gougu baby. I mean, you could just make a gingerbird house. There's nothing stopping you from doing that. Actually, one of my friends just fucking put up in our group chat that you was making one of those. And I was like, God, damn, bro. You can do that. You can just go do whatever you want. Are they just, like, mid as fuck?

It depends on what kind of gingerbread you get. I mean, they taste like gingerbread. Yeah, they're not great, but that's fun to make them. Yeah, they look nice. And then you pick, like, the little gum. drops off of it. I get, I get that. It's food Lego. Yeah. I don't know, man. I'd rather fucking, I love Christmas crackers. I think they have the best part. Oh, you talking about, you guys have those UK things where, like it pop and then there's a thing. Oh, you guys don't do that. That's a

UK. That's a, that's a UK thing. That's a UK and, yeah. They're OPE. Especially when you get like the racist joke inside of one of them. It's what? Whoa. Wait a minute. Oh, fucking good. Let's come back. What are you talking about? Okay, so, like, Christmas crackers, when you pop them, one side wins, right? That's the whole idea. Like, makes a pop, one side wins. Inside, you get a hat, always a fucking hat, like a crown, and a joke or like a riddle,

depending on which one you bought, and like a little knick-knack. And, like, the knick-knacks range from tiny playing cards to fucking keychain, right? Yeah. And the joke is always terrible. Sometimes racist. Sometimes doesn't make sense. Uh, sometimes it's like a, it's, it's like a, it's like a, oh, just, you know, like, like, you can't just say racist. You have to, like, are we talking like, shoe polish? Well, we're not talking slurs, bro. We're talking like, you know, generalizations or something. You don't, dude, if you're getting on Christmas crackers from like the fucking Tescos, bur. I feel fucking stupid because I just, I went on Google and I just wrote racist cracker. That's every...

That's every cracker, bro. I want to find an example because you can't just say that. Christmas Cracker. Dude, I think Christmas crackers should be an every way of thing. They're just dumb, stupid fun. Light interaction with someone else. Feel like you're winning at a table. I can apparently buy some at fucking Canadian tire.

Get some, man. I'm telling you, they're the fucking goods. It would be fun, actually, to try it out with family. It's good just for the hats, man. Everyone wearing the hats feel so more jovial. My mom buys hats, like a new hat every holiday. She bought, last year she bought, like, Elf ears, and she forced everybody to wear them during the fucking dinner. Nice.

And everybody's so drunk that it's like, yeah, fuck it. Christmas is fun. I like Christmas. what a good time it is can we agree that the pool toy one is the worst thing we've ever read the in the question there's a pool toy question I read it and I was

like dude I don't want to fucking talk about that that's weird oh I didn't read that properly it's a pool toy pool toy turning into pool toys it's a subset of the inflation fetish on top of flattification usually it's paired together for the tune physics page

I this isn't making it in there there's so many flatificate, like so many people are so into flatification and then inflating them again and sometimes they inflate into the shape of a pool toy. I love that you're just like an internet lore encyclopedia sometimes, Brendan,

it's fucking... It's the weird, I just think that fetishes are just really funny and when I learn about a new one I'd lock it a dome. That's an actual fetish? So it's related to tune physics, it's a tune physics fetish related into turning into a pool toy from like cartoons where characters would turn into a pool toy, usually done

more so to anthropomorphic animal characters in cartoons like that, rather than humanized characters. So the question is answered. I have answered it. I know that this is all off the dome, but you sounded like you were reading like a fucking Wikipedia page. I'm not. I'd say I literally just know. But I know that I know that you just know about this. You sounded like you were an expert in the field like they were at in on pond stars they would bring you. I do. I love you croc waffle gork syrup. It would be like yo this pool toe we have a guy for this that you would show up and start talking about this sex toy that's a pool toy as well. My dark fan fiction reading era

was so fucking much. I learned about so many different things that people were into reading bad fan fiction that now I just absorb it like a fucking sponge

whenever new information appears it's horrifying. I forget shit the moment I say it no object permanence from this guy. I usually do too but not with this stuff

it's fucking locked into the mind palace. The cave. The mine caves yeah well my mind palace directly into the mind caves when I got to extract. I got a raider hatchkey buddy.

I'm not worried about it. got a ready hatch key for the cave for the mind palace cave don't shoot don't shoot toaster here hey uh what's the all strongest and strangest mind goblins any weird or specific need or want to do in certain things like not having food touch or needing to do every side quest as you encounter them wish y'all the best and love what y'all do not like you fumble and blue sky oh not having food like on a plate well it's like mind goblin it's like a weird habit like like kind of a weird habit or like uh so let's say some people have texture problems like I can't touch raw meat

I don't like touching raw meat either but I don't mind it It makes my teeth hurt It makes your teeth hurt Same with like touching paper after washing my hands It makes my teeth hurt Touching paper after you

After washing my hands Yeah it makes my teeth hurt So you can't ever like dry your hands With like paper towels If it's in like a fucking wrist room No I can't Well I can because it's a different texture I'm talking about like A4 paper

Like book paper Like if I'm reading a book Oh yeah I fucking hate that Yeah Why would Yeah fuck that makes my teeth hurt. But why would you? Why would you? Well, think about like school and like going to the bathroom washing your hands coming back and then opening up your book to page, touching any

kind of paper would make my teeth hurt. Dry better. What? I did dry better. It dried. I retained. I retain moisture, buddy. Remember that episode of 911 where that lady says I'm blue? I used to be a big like, like, fold the corner of my page and my book for a fucking book. No. Book place. Like when I was a kid. Now I like that. I like cringe even at the thought of it. I would fucking hate that. Of like, if I, like, sit my book down and I fucking, like, curl a bit, I'm like, I feel, I'm, like, this really hurts me. Which is weird, because I used to just do it all the time for, like, when I was reading as a kid. But now I'm like, I'm a bookman, a bookmark Leitha.

I have, like, I mean, I have a mind goblin, but I don't know if it's a mind goblin because it's more of a phobia. For me, because it really fucking freaks me out. And I feel like I'm going to pass out. And it's really weird. And I don't know why. but I having any like anything sticky on my face really freaks me out so like I for this Halloween I I dressed up as Billy the puppet from Saw so I did like makeup and as I was making the makeup there was one point where it really got caked on my on my skin like it got really thick

with like makeup and I freaked me out so much I had to sit down for a minute because I was like really, I felt like I was going to pass out. And I don't know why that is, but it, it freaks me out a lot. I used to have a lot more, but my wife has trained me out of them because growing up, I had, with my weird childhood, I had a lot of very strange things that I got from my grandparents being hoarders. One of the really bad ones that's sometimes a hard habit to break is eating something and then stuffing the rapper in the couch. Oh, fucking. I would kill you. Yeah, I'm really good about it. I'm really good about it now, but it took it took forever for me. I would get so fucking angry if any if it took it took me fucking forever to break the habit so it was such a fucking weird one that I don't know when it started and I would just I'd eat like fruit gummies and I just stuffed the wrapper in the couch oh dude when I when I was growing up my sisters did something that that was kind of similar that pissed me off they would like if we got like cookies or whatever they would eat the last cookie close the box like empty box and put it back where like oh I do that too sometimes I forget yeah it's really bad I that pisses me a

off so fucking much, dude. Like, it actually, like, activates rage mode, dude. I feel like I'm gonna fucking punch a wall. Oh, no, my wife goes to Sarah's wrath when I do that shit. She's immediately like that she starts the QTE and I lose. It's so anger-inducing. Like, why would you just don't do that? To tell you why I have done it is I, I don't do it as much now that they got me on

the slime. But the reason that I used to do it is I would grab the box. I would put the cookie in my mouth or the cracker in my mouth. I would eat it. I'd be holding the box. And the trash can would be further. way and my brain would be like, okay, I have eaten the cookie, and then I just put it back because it was right there without thinking, and then walk away.

No, dude, I would go fucking ballistic on your ass. When you say, like, would you put, like, fucking chocolate bar wrappers, like, shit that could like get messy onto the couch? Yes, under the couch. Without thinking about it. Right into adulthood until I was like, stop. You're going to stop doing this. Dude, that would drive me insane.

There's another one that my older. sister would always do and it really pissed me off as well. She would eat off of a plate and then instead of putting the plate in the dishwasher, she would put the plate under the couch or under her bed and then she would leave it there for like weeks. Oh my god. Dude, I had a high school room was bad like that. I had a fucking, I don't understand. I just don't understand how you could do that. When I was flooding with other people and like, I want to preface, like, I do love the guy. But like, holy fuck one time I went into the kitchen and I was like

where the fuck are all the forks like I'm like legit like I'm gonna get really mad at this one I was like I was like I wanted to make food and I was like there's literally no forks in any of the drawers so I'm like looking around and I'm like what the fuck and his door's open so I like

I'm like go in and check I'm like hey and then I just see it on his table he's got fucking like four plate stacked up and then like I want to say like every every single fork just sitting there on top of the plates. And I'm like, it's fucking like 20 steps to the kitchen. Like, I don't even, so it's pissed me up like crazy, man.

For all the shit I'm talking right now, dude, I do that. But for mugs, dude, I collect mugs. I'm like, oh, a new coffee, a new coffee, a new tea, a new coffee. Oh, you're like my wife, Mug Goblin, your cup gobbling. We call that cup gobbling in my house. My wife does that a lot where I'll go over to her desk and she has seven cups. and I want to say sometimes all of them are drinks she's currently drinking

and she'll have seven fucking cups with drinks she's drinking and I'm like are you mixing potions in your mouth like what's the I forget I will say like for all the shit I'm saying it's not like I'm perfect dude I fuck up as well Oh for sure

Exactly same thing Everybody has a fucking thing that they do That they really shouldn't But they just do it because that's how it is Oh yeah Like right now I think I have like four mugs next to me So bottle check If you're listening to the podcast right now

I've got one can, one bottle, and one cup. I have so many fucking Jill Stein ballots still. I got to figure out what to do with them. Yeah, keep fucking posting those, bro.

I care, because I'm going to get so gentle for a big boy again. I can't do this. Isn't she gone? What if she was blue? That'd be crazy. What if she was blue? I really remember that episode of 9-11, where that lady says, I'm blue,

and then they go and they unblood. Oh my God, yes, I do. Have you been watching 9-1-1-1? Billy, do you remember that episode where that guy literally gets inflated big and around in an episode of 9-11? Of course I did. Dude, that's the best show on television right now.

Like, zero irony. I'm blue. Like, Pluribus is trash for morons. 9-1-1-0. Okay, shut the fuck up. 9-1-1 is genuinely so fucking peak, bro. It's insane. That's crazy.

I did stop watching Plumbus because the lady was like, I'm blue. This guy hates originality and things that are shot well. I had to stop watching a lady to be mad about her book sucking and then being like, fuck, but what if a lady was blue instead? They got me. What if I was shitting a baby into the walls,

bro? Should watch chair company, though, because that one's really good where it's like, what did you do? What are What did your coworker call you over for? She said, I stink real bad and I got to go home and take a shower. What did you? What is it? It's good. I like plumbus.
