Episode Date: December 8, 2025

Nate and Storm chat with Nathan Rastovac about dinosaurs eating everything, Storage for Students, and how Top Gun saved the world in the final episode of the sylvester.

The mood is right. The season's up. We're here tonight. And you know what storm? That is enough. Simply having a wonderful Christmas time. Here with boys only. Here with bu, bu, bu, the last boys only of the year.

For the sylvester. For the Sylvester. Yeah, that means semester. I'm Santa Drexler. I'm an elf. You're one of my elves, and this is Christmas only. I don't know if it's Christmas only storm. I think Christmas only is a whole different thing.

I think that we should explore that, though. We should explore that only. Christmas only? Only Christmas all year long. Christmas in July? Yep. Christmas and Nathan Rastovic. How's it going?

Beat of Nathan Rastovic. He's right here on the rest of like. He's right here on the Christmas. show with us. How's it going, man? Good. How are you guys? I'm doing great. I'm so excited to be back because we took last week off for Thanksgiving and this is my like weekly fix of I get to talk and it's okay and people don't point in me and laugh. I'll point you and laugh. Oh, dang it. I won't. I support this. Who are you? How, where do we know you from? I'm Nathan Rastbeck. Commonly known as Rastow among campus and the greater United States I like to say to some people.

maybe international now we don't we don't know yet rasto international rasto international yep and I'm here on campus a senior this year and one of the head RAs of Simpson Dorm and just glad to be here so thank you guys That's such a patriotic thing to say Heterra of Simpson Dorm

I feel like Simpson Dorm just really represents it's like the America if Hillsdale's the world Simpson's the USA We're the most Hillsdale part of Hillsdale Yeah we are and that's the best part about it glorious. God bless. God bless America. God bless Christmas. Yeah. Well, hold on. Another thing is that... I'm just feeling festive today. It's also, um, hell week is just wrapped up. Yes. When you're listening to this at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Sharp. He's never missed a second of boys only.

So I hope all y'all's hell week went well. Mine was, you know, papers. How was your senior They got in? My senior hell week. Was it not that bad? I feel like... You're not revealing anything with your face right now. The easiest week in my life. I had a whopping two assignments, a paper that was quite easy, and a presentation, which was even easier. You love to see it. It was pleasant, and I was enjoying it while everybody else seemed to be going through it. That's the type of senior year I'm playing.

You love to watch it happen, man. You're in so much pain right now. Because you were there previously. I have been there. You've had bad Hell Weeks. I have been. I've been in all levels of the library during Hell Week, and it's sad. It really is, but it builds camaraderie.

But, you know, being a senior right now, it's also refreshing not to be there. And to look it down upon the crash that is happening there is everybody rushes and they need fire, they need police. They need everybody there. Like a Caesar. Indeed. behind the yellow tape watching it unfold instead of being in there. Yeah, this was a way better Hell Week

than sophomore spraying for me. I had my Hell Week pre- Thanksgiving because that's what all my papers were due for some random reason. So I was fine. I had two papers this week and they were both sub-10 pages. That's beautiful. Your boy was in the trenches. You were in the trenches. What did you have?

I had 20 pages for only Dr. Stewart. Fantastic class. Fantastic class. Amazing prof. Yes. Massive amount of writing to do for it, though. So I had 20 pages for him to do. I previously in the semester had a 15 pager, which that was for that fortunately got done again earlier. For the same class? No different. Okay. And now next week, I'm staring down the barrel of about another 20 pages. It should be better. That should be a better 20 page though. It's more, it's more diverse. It's more assignments. Okay. For a different Stewart? No. Yeah. Yeah. Dr. Stewart assigns a 78 pages of writing for one class. One class, yeah. It takes 25 credits. You never leave the class.

You sleep and eat there. That's your whole major right there. Stewart major. No, but I managed to get everything in at least for yesterday. Good job. Good boy. Mazel tov. Yeah, mazzletop.

I'm celebrating here on the podcast. Finals are coming up, though. They are. Those are probably also not that bad for you. Not at all. Today, my professor, so I'm taking four classes, which is scary. I know to some people but I know

and two of those classes are with the same professor and today in class I have a back to back he was like so how about we do this when you come into both of your finals I'm going to hand you a paper

for both classes and you can either take the grade that's going to be on that paper or you can opt to risk it and just take the final I love that bargain that's so good indeed so now this weekend's just going to be

a weekend of mathing out do I take you need to math out ahead of time before he gives you your grade what your grade early is. Exactly. Because then I can either not study or I might have to study. So,

we'll find out, but... That's a great deal. I like that a lot. Especially if it's just a cumulative final that you've already been tested over this stuff before. Yeah. That was crazy. In physics class this semester, we had... The final will be our fourth test. We had three midterms.

That is a lot. Yeah, they do that in science classes. They really test you a lot. They test you. It's so different. because I got friends humanities and math and money majors because I kind of split Hillsdale students into the three camps as you're your humanities

your money or your stem We'll just call it manity So manity money math Are the three types of majors Okay For triple M's And so it's like humanities majors Really like they die on Hellweek

And the STEM major are like Dude what do you mean hell week is whatever dude And then finals weekend That's their hell week Because they have to take all those tests Yes money people are you just doubly dead i think usually it depends i know accounting majors are just just done they're done yes they're in they're in they're in yeah they're in tripepe at

the end of the the conflict but um um they're not they're not they're what's the i said tripepepe at the proff they're in what's the what's the like what's the beach they got rea tripoli the tripoli yeah tripoli tripoli they're in chivali musilini loves to hear you say it like that My thoughts would be to leave it to the prophet said, no, yeah, they're in the depths of despair, the pit of despair. They're in Gehenna. Yeah, Gehenna.

They're in the waist, the gray Hades. The bone pit. They're in Arena 3 right now, man. They're not doing so hot. Bone pits arena too, Barbarian Bull. Barbarian Bull. Yeah, low trophy count, no cars. But then I know just like econ majors,

who are doing fine. It's great. I turned in my big old econ paper right before Thanksgiving, and it's like, I'm home free. I mean, Econ tests are nothing to sneeze at. They're probably the harder than the history and politics tests that I take.

Tests, yeah. Papers. It depends, yeah. But the Econ Papers aren't as bad. No. Not at all. Not tall. Yeah, education classes, because I'm an education minor. They're usually pretty cool.

This is a newer thing. Me being an education mind? No. I hear great things about the education. It's fantastic. Everyone should take Quadrivia. Everyone should take English Grammar 101 Section 2 this spring 9 a.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

With Dr. Timothy Green. Best professor. I love that. I just got out of my logic and rhetoric class with him. And as a good senior, I saved that for my last semester here on campus. And it was quite possibly one of the best, if not the best class I took.

This is a great take. I loved logic and rhetoric. Everyone would be saying bad things about it. I just have, of course, you're all saying, out of the core, remove it. I loved it. I took it fall semester freshman year with Professor Revelo.

I'm talking with Dr. Balsman or Professor Baldwin. I mean, you just need a good group of friends. Yeah. Go in there, make friends. Professor Green, he always comes in with a dad joke, which you have to appreciate. And then just the rest of the classes is learning and fun. Did you do a declamation? I did indeed.

Well, what did you do it on? I spoke on the 300 Spartans at Thermopyly. And, oh boy, this, I'm surprised. Professor Green gave me a very lovely grade for this that I don't know if I deserve or not. just take it and run I am most definitely running with it there was a as you know I have you both have taken

yes so during the declamation there's the memorization part and I got permission to use a speech from the movie 300 and it was oh it was amazing so goaded and I was like okay this is going to be also the part where he makes us act out something

like show you know a sign of force or something like that and I was like oh I have the perfect idea I'm going to get everybody into a huddle as if they're Spartans and I'm going to say this speech and there was a whopping four of us in the classroom there was two girls who sat in my corner

Professor Green and a freshman who showed up and was like I want to watch and I was like oh this is cool wait none of your class was there to watch they split up the classes a lot of the time okay yep so I right before Thanksgiving to put in perspective I did not have any logic and rhetoric classes because I took it on

the Monday of the week prior to Thanksgiving So it was great. So what happened was I'm in the middle of my declamation. I'm like, this is the moment. This is the time I walk into the middle of the classroom. I kneel down and I'm like, Spartan, Spartan. I bring them in real close. Professor Green is leaning in and I get there.

And there are two of the people were on opposite sides of the classroom and I make them get up and come to the middle. So now everybody's in the middle of the classroom. There's some people out there like, what is happening? What is this guy doing? and I start so strong remember us and then silence

and I blanked so on what the next line on the next line and I just was like and I have my hands out everybody's smiling waiting for the next line I'm like line please and one of the second line it was so bad everybody started laughing

I started laughing I started like at that point there's nothing you can do but laugh and it was it was perfect and then we got the grade back and I'm like oh my goodness thank you professor green I thought the rest of it must be pretty good yeah must I mean must clearly I did my declamation on bees who did the problem the bees yes the one problem like the lawyer were yes yes so mark airs was taking that class with me we did opposite sides and we asked professor irrevelo if we could do a debate like like we could go, like, back and forth and, like, directly counter each other's. So he got up there, he gave his, like, prosecution of me, and then I got up there and gave my defense. And then, like, who won?

And people, like, voted. Who won? Yeah, who won? I think that I did. Okay. Mark Ayers probably tell a different story. Um, you probably, you, I mean, like, I would. I knew the one. I mean, I, like, I would. I would. I love more. Dear alumnus of the show, Mark Ayers, great guy. Original alumnus of the show. Episode one. The first Waffle House story night. Go listen to it again for probably the fifth time we've suggested it. Bring it full circle.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that was a lot of fun. I was happy that we were able to do a little debate thing. Yes. Well, let's get into some questions. Oh, boy. Let's just snap. You guys don't have slim jims?

Snap into a slim gym? You guys have that commercial as a kid? I have seen those. Let's snap into a question. You're really reaching for the segues these days. He tries the new segways to get into the thing. This was almost a reach. Dan.

I can't do it anymore. I love it. I'm just asking. Dom asks. What's the best fun Uncle Rastow on the hinged moment? Because I remember a freshman year. You were on the other side of the building from me, and I received an email that started Civil War.

Yes. And one of the tags was just Fun Uncle Rasto. And I'm like, who is that? I don't think I've met this man yet. Fun Uncle Rastro. That is a becoming more prominent. I think a lot more people are starting to find out about Fon Uncle Rastow. What is this?

Yeah, what is this? It is the side of me that people see. The side of me. A secret side of me. And I'll turn like, how do I describe this? When I'm very tired, I haven't had a lot of sleep. I'm maybe on a bunch of sugar and just like, you know, there's no film. filter and you're just there to have fun it's you know how each person like some people have

different personalities i guess it's just a different personality that it's a green goblin mask a green goblin yeah of course of course because it's on rascal become fun an uncle write an email yes no um i'm surprised you remember that email because it was just so striking i was like who is this person found uncle rath was that the one where it had a bunch of like blacked out like CIA cover up I think that was the kangaroo court

or is that the that may have in that I can't remember exactly the Civil War Declaration was you with like I don't know

a bunch of stuff like weapons right I because you were on this was freshman year I was south side from

you were on you were on you're on we were on I say we were on you were on you were on

offense you were on offense no we were a defense we were a defense because I remember you missed I was on

you were on offense so yeah Yes, we had, so you sent out the email with the takings from Northside. Oh, yes. Yeah. I remember that too. And you had like a spear or something in a crown on your head and the chair. Yeah.

Yes. That was with Justice and was Jaden on that side at the time? Maybe. I think, I think so. That sounds right. I'm so old and seen. And, and Joey? He's on our side.

He was in your son. Yes. He was. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, he was bowling ball. Bowling Ball, Death and Agony, Joey Randolph on 1F. the Greek god in your room now yes my currently yeah yeah lewis asking this is this is a great question because it's something you don't think about and I don't think about it and I just do it is are you

more of an oof yikes or bruh kind of kind of person I'm I'm bruh I'm brough I'm a brough I'm a bra I'm gonna be be honest I'm more of a yikes guy like oof I'm not sorry not there who use oof yeah it's just it's childish it's childish indeed we've moved on from oof we are we are yikes and brough people in this day and age yes it's as you as you grow up as we become 20 year olds and you know

in that that time realm it's you see some kind of a jinkies what's like what's like every Scooby-Doo character has a different like yeah like he almost ginkies zonks I do you know what I'm a joinks yeah zoinks zoings is look I'm bruh like like scoob

bro scoob well would you consider him a bruh type of guy Scooby-Doo is more human than dog that's a dude right there he can speak English he can stand on his hind legs he can he eats more human food

than three of the other human characters have you seen the dancing scene in the live action Scooby-Doo where he's got the big afro I mean that's all you kind of need disco Scooby yeah yeah yeah and doesn't he have like a child who's a full

anthropomorphic, not just dog anthropomorphic, isn't Scrappy? Like, Scrappy never is on four legs. Scrappy's always on two legs. Yeah, Scraby's an anthropomorphic. I thought Shribe was his nephew. Yeah. Oh, his nephew. Either way, he's related to an anthropomorphic, he's almost fully humanized dog. So Scooby-Doo, 51% humanized dog.

Well, hold on. Well, Scrappy's not canon for a lot of, a lot of Scooby-Doo heads. Scrappy's not canon? Well, he's in the movies. He's not, that's not canon. The movie? The live action? I have no idea what I'm talking about. Yeah, I'm going to say. I'm lying through my

The Scooby-Doo canon I think is There's a lot of different Scooby-Dus right Because there's mystery incorporated Which has the one I've seen all the way through Which is I think the best one What's the original one? The original one is just Scooby-Doo Where Are You?

Scooby-Doo, where are you? What's new Scooby-Doo? What's new Scooby-Doo? It's also great. Scooby-Doo Mr. Incorporated And then there's a bunch of others The new random bad ones But those are the really important ones The movies are great though

Yeah, yeah I yeah the movies are great though I love the movie so much I think that like in the modern Scooby-D media they flesh out the other characters and make you realize that Fred is just the superior cast member it's just the giga chad i'd agree with you on that like fred a lot he leads he's he's the leader without without fred they won't catch any of those guys i probably am more of the shaggy archetype but i like fred a lot i think you're you are probably more of a fred archetype you're like

the i appreciate chad leader yeah i won't go that far i feel like there's not really like a good like the male archetypes of scooby-doo are either like chad leader of the group stoner food addicts or the villain does that make me the villain no I think you and I are Scooby and Jackie maybe I'm more Scooby you're more sure well no you're Scooby you're shorter yeah okay just just by that fact but when it comes to the villain is it a villain that you can associate yourself with or like a villain where you're just like oh that's a bad

guy I think I'm generally just a bad guy sometimes I would disagree sometimes they pull the mask off of the villain in Scooby-Doo and they're like the villain's like oh dang it I can't rob this store so that I and fund a children's hospital. Exactly. And the other day, I can't destroy the universe. I can't obliterate reality

with my atom bomb. It's like, okay, all right. The Scooby-Doo range of villains is spreads far and wide. We're in the whole spectrum. All right, next question. Nick asks, what is your favorite part of living in Illinois?

Because are you from, you're one of those people where it's like, you say a different thing every time, I swear. Where are you from? As a good person from Illinois, well, how would I say that? Just go with person of Illinois. It's okay.

Person from Illinois, yeah. I would always say Chicago. And everybody's like, oh, my goodness. It's Chicago. It's like, no, I'm lying to you. I'm from a suburb, but just like all the memes online say. Chicago. Chicago.

It's like, oh, you're just from Naperville. It's like, no, I'm actually further away than Naperville. But you're not going to know any suburb. So it's like, I'm just from Chicago. It's like the drive to like downtown Chicago. from my yeah it's an hour oh wow yeah okay but that's substantial distance that's we are the edge of suburbia so i live in a town called it's wadsworth now i grew up in gurney which is just south on the edge of suburbia exactly and it's home to six flat one of the six flags yes six flags

awesome huge fantastic so we we have an amazing six flags and then we have a mall and that's pretty much it it's a bunch of houses schools you know it's a suburb that's why ill Illinois is great. Well, I'd be careful saying that. I will say this, Chicago. So it was more of an Illinois question from Gurney. Chicago is beautiful. It is the most beautiful city in the country.

I'm going to... The windy city? The windy city, which is a political statement, by the way. Really? Tell me about that real quick. I don't know too much about it, but it came from the notion that all of our politicians are corrupt. Oh, wait, did they blow back?

And they got it. So that a lot of people are like, Windy City and it is freezing cold and the wind is so strong, especially in Illinois and like around Chicago, but it was a political movement. And we also have in Illinois the only F5 tornado in I think November of the entire country. You would think like, oh, Oklahoma. Oklahoma or the wind comes sweeping down the planes. From the Rockies. That's right. Right outside Chicago. We actually have a higher chance of having tornadoes than some. of the plain states because of the Great Lakes. That's so cool. That's wild, man. Thank God I don't live out there.

Yeah. I live on an island. It's great. I've never seen a tornado, though. It was taller than like 15 feet tall. I've never seen a tornado. I saw, I count like one little time

where I saw like a dust little miniature 50 foot tall tornado in Colorado. But other than that, I've never seen like an actual like twister, like the kind you see. Have you? I have not, no. I've seen the aftermath

because surprisingly near in North Illinois where I live, we have had some small tornadoes, but they're enough to take roofs off and do some damage. The tornado takes a roof off out. That's ridiculous. It's kind of surprising. Not going to lie. Bobby.

Bobby. Because we're going to keep with Illinois for a little while here. Okay. I like it. Why do you have such hope in the Bears? Oh, Bears is. So, okay, let's start off. Bears is Super Bowl.

We already know that. I'm not going to lie to you guys. I am usually just saying things to get a reaction out of people when it comes to the football scene. I do not know a lick of NFL, like, history. Don't let a fan cat here. You really say that.

He's going to be mad. Like, I'll be honest, NFL and NBA, I don't know anything about. Like, you can say players' names all day, every day. I've got Jay Cutler, Caleb Williams, and Romo Dunzee. that's it that's pretty much it

like and then like you know all the other there's other guys that Travis Kelsey you know the big

big big name exactly but when it comes to the bears Jay Culler is probably one of the best quarterbacks that ever was we all know that's true Caleb Williams

is we know that to be true exactly you know as a country yeah of course of course and Caleb Williams

is right up behind him might surpassed ask him like you never know and then who's the brian erlocker the bald guy who got his hair back and is on every billboard in illinois for his hair coming back um that's about as much football bears knowledge that i have but i know enough to say bears is super bowl they're the best team in the NFL and like everybody's like oh well they haven't won a super bowl in a while it's like yes because we want others to win. We're like, we're so good.

Charity. It's a charity case, exactly. What if theirs ranked right now? I think they are actually, they're number one. They're number one. Not in just their division, but in the world.

Well, in the world, of course. I mean, American football. The whole world. Technically, are world champions. Yes.

No one else is playing. Yeah. But we are world champions. I'm just going to hard agree with everything rest of said there. Just to rage babe Bobby. I mean, he's better.

No, they're not. Monkey with his hand under his chin, and you are the tiger screaming at the monkey. Yes. The Packers aren't doing great. No, they're not. I don't know. My real sad thing is that the Cowboys aren't doing great. You should be a Falcons fan.

The Falcons side. We've been over this. I like the Cowboys more than the Falcons. Did you watch yesterday? Because they're better? I did not, but I did see the score. I was checking the score all the second night yesterday. It was a good game.

I'd watch the second half. And surprising I did that because I don't know enough about ball knowledge. but I saw them, they had a large deficit in points, and they did come back, and they almost won, but the lions did pull it out. It made me sad to see. Mm-hmm. I don't know sports as well as I ought to,

but I do know this. The Islanders beat a way better team than them, and I only have one hometown team, technically speaking, because all the other teams are play in New York City, not on Long Island, which is where I'm actually from. Oh, so you're not a Rangers fan? Yeah, the Islanders. They whipped up on some team

I can't remember which He's way better than them Hockey We're better than everybody Well Except the Blackhawks I mean Except Jake Cutler

Except Caleb Williams And the other guy that you mentioned Well if we're talking hockey We got Patrick Kane Jonathan Taze Oh you actually watch hockey I don't I did For a while when we won

What was it Three Stanley Cups in five years That's a best It was the best run we've had Chicago was at its peak And we've gone down since then I think you have about 12 World Series in a row

Isn't like from like 1937 You guys? Like 1950? Yeah Which team? Yankees Yeah Yes

Yeah I like to hold that over people Like ah One team has 27 rings And it's like how many You were born How many those are from before 1970 And the answer is most Most

Before our parents were born pretty much We have like 10 10 to 12 I think after that But most Well that's that's the argument you have is if you're a Notre Dame fan, how many national champion or football championships have you won?

Well, they're all from the 70s, but we have more than most. So we're just better. Could be the Falcons. They have nothing in any of nothing. The Falcons have nothing. I'm supposed to be the worst team ever. I forget about them and the Cardinals. I'm like, wait, they still play football. And before people say bandwagon, oh,

you're talking the Falcons because they're bad, my mom's side's family is from Texas, from Dallas. My grandpa's a huge Cowboys fan. Always has the Cowboys games on them more over there. so I've been on that wagon since I was born 100 years ago you're 37 37 years old This is from Victor looked at me

the other day a couple days after my birthday and he looks at me with the most conviction I've ever seen in his eyes and he goes You're 26 And I was like yes Yep that's right I'm 26 It made me laugh

So now I don't know my own age anymore So you know Rastor you're a you're a cheerful chipper guy generally. And I think the people have recognized that there's a couple about, you know, how to stay positive. Chauvin asks tips on how to stay winning during hell, week, and finals. Oh, that's a great question. And I appreciate someone asking the, the heavy hitting question of how do you win? And when people ask you, what drives you? Most people say, oh, it's family. Oh, it's these big things. It's like, no, it's all about winning. Amen. Amen.

Crushing your opponent, putting him in the dirt. Exactly. If you're, look, Ricky Bobby. He said, if you ain't first, you're last. Second place is the first loser. Exactly. First loser. Win, win, win. Exactly. So you better be winning. Because if you're not winning, you're losing. And you might be dying. You know how like you're either growing or you're dying?

Same thing. You're either winning or you're losing. You're either gaining trophies or losing trophies. That's a good way to put it. That's a good way to put it. I suck at Clash, though. So how do we stay winning, though? We've now established winning is the only thing that matters in the world. How do we do it?

Your opponent's elector. Exactly. Oh, in life, sorry. And break their kneecaps. Before you go to race, break their knees. Yep. You wake up. So it all starts in the morning.

You wake up. Open your eyelids. Start when you wake up. It started every. I just read a book. It was called rhinoceros success. Rhinoceros success? Yes.

It's an interesting book because it's like, it seems like a kid's book, but it's four adults. and it's amazing because it says imagine yourself as a rhinoceros running through the jungle

at a thousand miles per hour nothing stops you and you just destroy everything in your path so when you wake up open your eyes but don't like come into the real world yet

just think how am I going to win today and then either you're on the top bunk or not so then you either have to climb down steps don't fall if you fall yowch yeah it hurts it hurts Yeah, whole momentum lost.

Exactly. And then you look in the mirror and you say, I'm going to win. And the most important, important part, you pull out the W. Most people know, you make two Ls with your hand, your, like,

but then connect them because we don't take any Ls. Yep, you connect them so that it's a W. I love that. That's about momentum. Yeah. Really just like the things that are good in life, those power us forward. And we ride those like the top of a giant

tsunami, let it crush everyone else. And make everyone else suffer and step on them for our own success. Yeah. Find something you like, you know. Be corrupt. Take bribes. If you start there, then, you know, take more bribes or become more. I have to keep going.

Do what you're good at. Focus on your strengths. Exactly. Like, by taking bribes. I'm really good at that. Is that what happens in? On Long Island. Oh, yeah. Nothing but bribes. Chicago, it happens all the time. We're going to offer you a pretty special bribe to not talk about what we talk about

on the After Dark show. So, that stays here. Yeah. That stays here. I have to bribe my mom to like, let me live there still like when I come at home live at home yeah what do you is it money it's you pay rent I'm like I mean look you know hey this is a great deal it's a great deal it's a great deal have me it's a great deal for another month you get hang out with me it's expensive

I'm pretty cool right you know yeah yeah I'll eat quite a bit of food but that's worth it yeah well you compliment your mom of course the food so like that that in itself is a form of payment mom see my friends and enrich my life as a young man I just like just get in the house man It's cold It's freezing Walk in the door What are you doing Get inside

Liam Liam his questions are always They're so from the heart They're so pouring out of just love They're from somewhere You always brighten up all of our days What brightens of your day Because you know

We talk about winning And that's how to stay like focused And like motivated But I think You can have a day where you're like For example When you're writing a paper You're super focused and motivated

But you're not like You're not happy how do you how do you rectify these two things how do you balance these two things happiness and this winning the well i think when when you reach peak winning stage the flow state the flow states yes when you're just like winning so much it kind of gets it gets on you you know i was talking to a friend jovan cat just a few minutes ago and he was like i am so locked in and like this is works i mean i read his work it was like hemingway or something like that so i was like oh my goodness you're you're going to be a philosopher or some big english writer one day but i could tell

it's weighing on him yeah like the winning was weighing on him so for me it's go outside touch some grass you know like yeah that they i don't do that all the time i probably should do that more uh being outside especially in the cold but you know go outside read a book maybe uh have you ever read Jurassic park no red red it's a book yeah it's a book oh it's 10 times better than the movie there's no way the movie is great and it's like one of the the book is better

it's so much darker it's so much darker it's so much darker it's like a horror instead of it being like fun and like oh no dinosaurs it's like a horror book it begins with a child being eaten not by like a Velas raptor or a T-rex but by the

small they call them compis it's like the little one foot tall it was a baby it was so dark it's just like read a book that's how to get happy I appreciate you're like man at least I'm not getting

I read about dinosaurs eating children to get happy that's how I stay winning I mean how I stay winning you crush my enemies I send them I send coffee after them to eat their children

that's why no no no you see that you're like man I appreciate a Velas Raptor is just not chasing me right now true because in the movie and in the book

those things are scary clever girl exact rip Muldoon that guy he could have made it but no he decided I'm not gonna run I'm gonna go hunt a velociraptor

yeah didn't he like stay out there he was like you guys go for the door over there that's the way out I will stay after it stay out here yeah and he saw one of them but as you know

there's always more they're like wolves and like that's see you know dinosaurs don't exist these days so if you're gonna tell me like actually true

I'm talking to right now well yeah I mean fair enough You're 45. But when you think about it, it's like, today the equivalent is a wolf. And I don't want a pack of wolves chasing me. Like I would rather a bear.

Well, I'd rather a bear than a wolf or wolves. I hate to agree, but I think I'd rather be chased by a bear than like two wolves. Because there's multiple. Yeah. Would you rather be in the forest with a bear? Or a man. A man? You guys don't know.

You guys don't remember that, that whole thing? No? Man. Would you rather be in the forest of a bear or a man? Yeah, they asked like women this question. Oh. Oh, I do remember this. I forgot the part that was targeted at women.

The bear of the man. Dude, give me the man. Yeah. I mean, dab him up, whatever. That's what I'm saying. What type of bear is it? Hey, dog. Brom bear.

Oh, yeah, I'm not a fan of grizzles. Round bear, brown bear, what do you see? I see Storm Drexler. He's in the forest alone. I'm going to try to sell him this condo. I'm going to try to sell him this condo. It's really, really bad. It's a terrible conduct

It's just not worth it He's gonna lose so much money I'm alone in the wood The woods Sorry I thought that's plural A quick plural check That's why I'm taking

English grammar 101 Section 1-1 Section 1 After Timothy Green This spring Because I don't know to talk Yeah

Yeah Yeah I gotta take like a breath I'm so stupid One Mariana Tell us a little bit more about your student storage business.

I've read about this, but what is it? Like, where's the inspiration? Nathan Rastow, business owner. So, to preface, I did not pay for that question. I did not expect that question. So I appreciate Mary Hanna for sending that question in, and that wasn't product placement at whatsoever. This sounds really bad on you right now.

I'm not paying for this. But I'm surprised, you know, it showed up. so it's storage for students LLC we are registered here in Michigan and the question is how did you come up with it yeah like tell us a little more as as any good entrepreneur it was not necessarily an original idea because yes yes yep I did not this is no new Apple this isn't something that's going to change the world it's not chat GPT it's a storage company and my freshman year I had a few friends or I heard a few friends having problems where they were having to coordinate with a bunch of other friends

on going in on a storage unit which if you can do that and you do it successfully like more kudos to you exactly power to like it's cheaper for you like go do it but the problem is he had eight friends or he was like six or eight of them going in on a unit together and then like three days later

I heard him calling his mom and he's like mom four of those people dropped out if it was six or like six of the people dropped it yeah so there was just him and another buddy so now he's paying more way more exactly and I can't remember if he had a truck or not so there was like logistical problems of getting his stuff to the unit

and also this past summer sadly there was a girl here at the college who had her stuff her unit broken into in town and I checked it out and it was like a outdoor storage unit that didn't have fencing around it some of them do some of them don't

if you're my opinion would be if you're going to do this on your own try to find one with a fence at least that you need like a clicker to get into because all they did was pop the lock, open it up, take a bunch of stuff, and then close the... They pop and locked. Yep, exactly. So I was like, there was that problem on campus. 88% of students at Hillsdale are from outside of Michigan. I did not know that. When I first

came here, it was only like 50% so... Really? Yeah. In your four years, it's gone from 50% to 80% are out of state? Yeah, I think it's like, it was either 50 or 60 when I got here. And now it's at 88%. 88, yeah. So I was like, oh my, that's a lot. So I was talking to my mom about it. And then as all good entrepreneurs do, I guess, we watch Shark Tank, which it's, it can be, it's an interesting show. But there was a, it's a great, it's fun sometimes. On the show, there was a company that they did this and they do it nationwide. And they're the number one company across the country that does this.

And they do multiple millions of dollars in revenue. They pay millions of dollars to all of their student. employees. And within that time, I was like, oh, my goodness, they don't serve anybody or any colleges under 10,000 students at least. So I was like, oh, the schools that, I mean, Hillsdale, where we're at here, all the other schools we compete against in our leagues, no more than 5,000 students. Right. So there's no companies there. So I was like, oh, I'm just going to, I'm going to take that idea. And as any good entrepreneur, they already have it successful. They're doing it right. I'm just going to take that and apply it to the market.

Exactly. You know, if there's a market need, I'm going to fulfill it as a good econ major. Wait, do you do it for more than Hillsdale? I'm planning on doing it for more than Hillsdale. Yo. Yeah, that's kind of dope, man. The expansion. Expansion is in the near future.

The Rastoverse. Yes, I'm unsure if it's going to happen this year due to me being in D.C. Right. Of course, but as soon as I graduate and I'm out of here, the following year, I hope to be at multiple colleges. Yes. We'll see how it goes. Fantastic. Yeah.

This is amazing. Get your stuff stored. Yeah. With Nathan Rastu. Look at his face on that billboard over there. You can trust him. He's not a windy city politician. Yeah, right?

I mean, we pick up, we store, and we drop off. So, like, you don't have to drive anywhere. This is such product placement. I hate that. All right. Well, we're going to ask the next question. Next question is from Zana. What is your most obscure obsession?

Obscure. Obsession? Whoa. Not, okay, obsession is a strong word. Like, what's the thing you're like, you know, people don't ask. It's not that you wouldn't. tell them. But it's like, people don't look at you and they don't clock

that. You know? I'm trying to think of mine. Steroids the same too. I mean, when you look at me, I think steroids. Yeah, math. Yeah, math. That's right. Nessing a few teeth. What would it be? I'm going to go with skiing in history. I like to ski.

That's a very fun sport. Wait, skiing history? No, no, no, no, no. It's a comma. It's a comma. Got it. I love to ski as a sport and an activity. And I just love history. But I'm not a history major. And as like all good seniors, I do kind of regret not studying more history.

Yeah. They always do. They always do it. They always will come to the dark side, young freshmen. It's always English or history. And for me, I suck at English. I cannot write to save my life. And I love history, though.

And just reading more about it, listening to videos on it, learning more. it's just especially like militia i'm a dude i mean yeah from the earliest age everybody's like oh fire trucks dinosaurs trains i'm the revolutionary war the revolution yeah exactly i mean cannibal yes yes rome rome and anything past world war two is just like god like you just it's peak it's peak you just reading like this is so cool i concur jets oh my jets i mean okay i mean i bet it's going to be a question at some point but yeah top gun top gun i mean that That's probably where it started. From what I've seen, there's no question about Top Gun.

No. It's your favorite movie, right? It's the best movie. It's not just my favorite, but to everybody out there who's like, oh, you know, this movie's best, this movie, no, it's- The Original. Top Gun, 1986, Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Tom Scarrett, Edward, something, the guy who plays Goose.

What? Nope. So close. The guy who plays Goose. Rest in peace, goose. That is just, when you watch that movie, the opening, scene. You know, it's got the letters and you're like, oh my goodness, top gun. And then it just cuts to dudes being dudes on an aircraft carrier launching jets. Yeah. It's not just,

it's not, you know, in some movies, oh, the first thing you see is the main character walking down a street. It's like, no, it's just guys on an aircraft carrier having a fun, launching, yeah, launching jets. And you're just like, yeah. I appreciate that they kept that spirit in Maverick and had like the beach scene. Yes. They had like the, just dudes. Just dudes. Playing volleyball. Flying jets. shooting down other jets that are enemy jets. You're just like, that's America. It is very cool.

I mean, as we all know, the Cold War wasn't ended by Reagan. It wasn't ended by government policies. It was Rocky and Rocky Four. In Rocky Four beating Ivan Drago. Yep. And Top Gun, 1986. Those two movies alone ignited the American spirit to overcome the Soviet Union and communism in the world.

So not only were they amazing film, and important for the cinema genre, they were important for the history of the world. They saved the world. You can't, like, have people like, oh no, that didn't know. There is correlation or causation, however you want to say it. It's causation.

It's direct causation. Those two movies, I don't know when Rocky Ford came out, but when it came out, it was probably... The 90s? Probably not 90s. Late 80s as well? I mean, Apollo Creed. gave his life for America.

Just remember that. Oh, yeah. That's what it is. What's, do you have an obscure hobby? What was the question? Dinosaurus. That's,

oh, dinosaurs. Yeah. It's, I mean, I talk about it all the time, but like, yeah.

It's like the Shane Gillis bit. Like, have you seen the one where he talks on, maybe, about Jurassic Parking, he's like, oh,

tires. Oh, I don't know. It wasn't on a show. It was on, it was one of the skits. Well, it was one of the shows he was on, where they bring in,

like, new comedians and they, made a clever girl joke because when you say clever i was like oh never good exactly and he's like oh none of you guys know that the internet's gonna love it and i'm like i just think about that that skit all the time i do love dinosaurs yes what's your favorite they're the coolest thing ever yes tell me that forever ago there was these just enormous things they just walked around just ate everything else that's like the coolest thing ever what's your what's your favorite dinosaur it's always it kind of it changes with my mood a little bit you know i mean you got to love spinosaurus he's

gigantic and really and the ones with like the triangular spines on its back no he's the one with the big sail just the one big sale the carnivore right yes well he's more of a pescatarian he's fish hey to me that's true he's it look at the jaw the jaw has uh is long and rather narrow like a crocodileian and the teeth are um short sharper and occasionally hooked which is indicating that he catches fish because fish are very slippery got to kind of hook them. Yeah. Interesting.

I should, you should run like a dinosaur lecture sometimes. No. Or just do a top five Tuesday about a dinosaur set. I don't know, yeah,

I don't know that much. I know enough. It feels like you know enough, enough more than it, enough more. Enough more. You know, enough to be a little bit

more knowledgeable than everyone else so that we would learn things from you. Thanks, Storm. Yeah. Check out my new podcast, hunting. Dino,

Dinno, Dino. Dino. Wait, you watch dinosaur train as a kid? Yes. Go to Rosette. Yeah, yeah, Is that the kids show?

The kids show on PBS or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Super fun, little tangent of mine that talks about dinosaur train. So, in my first elementary schools, I went to two. In my first elementary school, every now and then they let us have library time

and you can go on the computers. There was this like, it was sort of like a flash game, but not really, it was a little more well done than that. Snowbob. About dinosaur train. And I was like, this is awesome.

So I played a couple of the levels, but then I was like, this is boring. So I just opened up like the glossary of all of the, creatures ever seen in the entire show. Whoa. And I just looked through that instead of playing the game.

You just read the gloss? Yep. That's awesome. And just learned, I'm just like, oh man, it's this big and it does, and this is the other one, this is the cool one. Was the stick of dinosaur train that the mama paradox, or teradactal, uh, like cheated on her husband to have a were a next child? No, no, no, no, she adopted it. Oh, okay. But it was born in her,

from her nest, from her brood. No, she found it. Oh, she just found the egg. I thought she was like shocked In the theme song it's like He was born He was not like the others And they're like Who the hell are you

They're like all confused About About the big orange guy In the middle of the green guys You know It wouldn't work that way Because time rhinoceros Rangings are significantly larger

Than the other ones By a lot actually I gotta watch down It's probably been You know 15 years For you a while Probably close to 25 years 20 25 you're 30 my niche my do I get to talk about my knee shabby of course yes get into

my knee shabby I'm almost it yeah yeah yeah in the spirit of stranger things season 5 coming out right now I actually am a big Dungeons the Dragons nerd I play a lot of D&D does it have like a plot because it okay so like here's my question I was with the Indies is it like Warhammer warhammer is a game that was so wildly popular that it developed its own everything so yeah like Dungeons Dragons is a tabletop role playing game meaning that you can put whatever you want into the mold of the of the rules so like you can create a custom story custom characters just totally run your own thing with your friends and that's kind of what we do there's also some like source material

and books you can get about like different worlds that the creators way back in the day created and locations and monsters and and awesome adventures and magic and stuff um but it's really just a physics engine or a set of rules for you and your friends to sit down and tell a story science fiction fantasy pretty much whatever you want you can fit it to work the rules so it's for the feeder kids it's for the nerds but it's also for people that are really invested in storytelling and i love i loved reading a ton as a kid so now this is just like i get to join together with my friends and create a little create a little fantasy epic adventure that is amazing i have a question for you then yeah so you brought up stranger things and i know it's a very prominent aspect of the show more so looking at the broader

show who's your favorite character okay Okay. I am not caught up at all. I mentioned it only because I know that there's a lot of D&D. I've only seen the first few episodes of the first season. So I'm like totally behind and that and I watched the first few episodes like six years ago. Or like five years ago. So I don't even remember the character's names. I'm totally out of the loop. But I'm going to be watching the whole thing like soon as an overbreak probably to catch up and watch the season five finale with everybody. I think it's possible. I've heard it's like weirdly long. Like there's like some strangely long episodes. If you're watching multiple episodes a day, I think you can do it. Maybe overbreak, it'll be fine. Yeah, so I will get back to you with that. Okay, I'm excited to let you know who I like. Knowing you and how we handled Beast games over break that one time where we chewed through eight hours of content. We had a layover day in Atlanta between flights and or between long driving a flight.

And I was like, what are we going to do? And we turned on an episode of like Mr. Beast's Beast games came on. Oh, my goodness. I'm not really a Mr. Beast fan, could really care less. Ten minutes in, addicting. We watched the entire season. Really? unbelievably good. Is that the one where it's like

Squig games? There's a pile of money and you have to do it's a $5 million. It's a story of love loss, betrayal. Yes. Genuinely, I've never been more attached to anybody in a game show ever. It was in some of these characters. Did your player win? Oh, the good guy won.

The good guy won? The good guy won. All I was able to guess who was going to win when I got out of the top 10 and it was the person that I wanted to win. I was very happy with it. You should go listen. You should watch. Mr. Beast's show. We can say that. It's fine. Yeah, whatever.

It's very, very good. But yeah, I play D&D. Don't knock it until you try. My big thing, don't knock until you try it. It's very nerdy, but again, it's a tool. The people you play it with are the game, are the spirit of the game. If you're going to play it with a bunch of fundies and nerds, like, that's a lot of the player base, the game will suck. You're not going to have a good time.

If you play it with your best friends and you have an open mind and you're like, let's make a fun thing here. Let's create together. It'll be blessed. I actually exclusively knock things before I try it I don't you I have the most

intense case of cognitive dissonance if the second someone's talking dude this is good no nope it's bad

it must be awful I do run away from trends sometimes just because they're trends I'm also a victim of that I'm getting better at that

yeah I've been getting more like okay I trust you a little bit and have the time they're right I'm just like I just wanted to hate it

I just didn't want to do it I'm lazy I'm too lazy to play D&D I like building maps Because I love geography so much I love building maps If you ever need a map to just build a map I have a sneaking suspicion

You would actually love the game Just dial me up dude I'll build you guys a wicked map Are you serious? I got ideas I'm gonna hit you up sure There you go Networking and boys only Networking and boys only

Networking and five year Yeah Real icebreaker This 50 minute podcast isn't ice break Yeah Networking For people we already know Yeah, for our friends.

Known for years. Come talk to us about X, Y, Z. That's right. Well, you know, I think it's not time for the Y question. Okay. But it is time because we've been kind of dancing around it a little bit, but Resto, you're not only a senior, but you, you were leaving us. Sadly, I am. You were going to D.C.

Indeed, I am. The W.H.H.I.P. Program. Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this? What do you have lined up there? What is that going to be like? Definitely. I'll get into that.

So for those who don't know, sadly I am now part of the WIPP program. Doom and Despair. Yes, the Washington Hillsdale internship program. I sound like a poster child. And as part of this program, I will be spending a semester in D.C. My last semester is a senior.

What drove you to this madness? This is madness. So when my girlfriend went on WIP, do you remember Noah Parley? Yes. So he was a senior who did the same thing. and when I visited Hannah he was there on WIP for his last semester and I talked to him about it and I was just like wait a minute this is a good way and I may people some people are going to call me crazy for this but Hillsdale is very academic and that is what's beautiful about it but it's all classroom based and I'm we're taking care of let's be honest the food is provided to us so to go from a fully academic environment to an environment where now I have to work a full nine to five Monday through Friday and I take classes Tuesday and Thursday

evening, it's more of a like a transition period out from academic Hillsdale student life to all right now. All right, bud, you're now an adult. Good luck out in the real world. So I see the argument. Yep. So it's more of a transition period. I'm not going to be in D.C. long term. I love the city. It's another beautiful city. It's probably the second most beautiful city. but just like Chicago, it's not always the safest, but I just, it's a good transition period. And working there for four months is going to be good enough for me to then go work anywhere else. I definitely see it. Yep.

So to answer your question then additionally, where will I be? I don't know yet. Oh. I do, I'm almost there to making the decision. I interviewed yesterday with a representative from Ohio. I also interviewed with the Department of Agriculture. and then I interviewed with a networking organization that is sponsored by conservative billionaires and like their business so wow billionaires

and it's a lot of zeros yes I'm actually a William error yep yeah match you an air Jordan yeah air apparent so yeah in the you're so dumb I'm sorry keep going to it's to to I guess put in perspective of that. I believe I'm going to join the nonprofit. It's because I'm being sponsored to join this nonprofit by the corporation that's run by the billionaires. I think it's a good opportunity. I like the nonprofit.

It's more of a networking field. And I'm going to be meeting a lot more people. I'm not just going to be in a cubicle sitting. This is so goaded. So I want to be more interactive. Wherever I end up, I just can't be behind a desk all day. I need to talk to people. So the USDA, great organization, working at a rep's office.

You should do it. if you're thinking about it, but I personally like talking to people in, you know, whether that's in an annoying sense where people like, oh, please stop talking or, wait, tell me more. I just, the human connection is so important. So I'll probably end up working there.

I love that. Thank you. That's so interesting, man. I can never do it just because I loathe D.C. so much, as someone who has lived on the East Coast, I've been to D.C. a bunch. My grandfather lives down there. I just loathe it in a certain west. I don't blame me.

I don't follow, yeah. Like the touristy side of the city? Oh my God. Fantastic. Fantastic. Going down there to watch the Japanese maple, not the Japanese maple. What are the trees that turn pink? Oh, the cherry blossom.

Cherry blossom trees on the river is gorgeous. All the sites are fantastic. And the architecture. The architect is great. The architecture is great. It's unbelievable. Yes. All of that is super cool.

But there's something about politics. than just it pervades and it drains my soul away to dust it excites me so we're just we're built different you know i'm built more for i think more i'm gonna try to go pastoral lifestyle i'm gonna see this summer that's it's beautiful i mean to work to work there with this summer with with mark airs nice heck yeah dude yeah i mean mark are trying to go that's not this not work at the same place i'm applying so we'll see if they get back to me and let me in and mark errs is flying for a different spot but he'll probably be on the hillsdale campus the kirby center yes probably where you'll be. Yes. And then I'll be

hopefully at the Heritage Foundation nearby. Oh. That's a good organization. It's also right across the street from the Hillsdale campus. So not a far walk, thankfully. But big chilling. I will say the architecture is just so beautiful. And the Potomac. It has such natural beauty. And I think one of the coolest things is Arlington. The cemetery. Like you just

it's, there's such a beauty to it. I mean, It's sad. And reverence and be... There's something in the air. But you walk there and you're just like... You feel differently. Like you appreciate D.C. and the country as a whole and you're just like, this is America.

Have you been at the Kirby Center yet? I have been there a few times. I went there before I came here. Yes. Did you do the statesmanship? I did indeed, yes. Oh, look at that. I didn't.

I had to a early decision here. They wouldn't take me if not. That was a lot of fun. Yeah. I love the center. There was one professor there. I don't remember his name at all, but. Meen?

Maybe. That doesn't sound right now. No. I think he was a, I think he was a politics professor. Was he bald? Asrad. No.

He was, you know, he had dark hair, kind of a bigger fellow. He was the one that walked us around D.C. Oh my goodness. Yes. And he talked about the architecture. Yes.

And like how it's all laid, the layout is like actually structured around the founding fathers ideas for like the constitution and like already what they were planning for it. The intention. Yes. And blew my mind. I was like, this is insane. On that, I would go to whip.

I'm not going to you, probably, but I would go to whip for him because he was awesome. It was like professor like, stuff like a pee. I don't even remember. But it was so long. It was two and it was three years ago at this point. Yep. Yep. But oh my, so I did, we had the same experience.

And I remember, we were at the Supreme Court, I believe it was. And there was the Greek side and the Roman side. And I had never noticed. Of the dark picture of the top of the building. And how it all comes together. I think it was Lady. And you're just like, oh my goodness, there was actual intention. They cooked on that.

Yeah. I fear they cooked. The architect of the city was, it was a French guy. Yeah, it was. He designed the whole city, laid the whole thing out. And they never gave him credit for it until he died. Then he, then they were like, wait, maybe we should like, you can have a living Frenchman to credit for capital place.

I mean, that's not true. You can have foreigners to clip, like for architecture, you can have a foreigner do it. But like, like, if you're constitution writing, maybe. Maybe stay at home. I mean, it wasn't Ellis Island Statue of Liberty? That's French. Yeah, but that's a gift for, for a while. Also, I heard that we didn't build it for a while,

which kind of let it sit in storage. Are you serious? Yeah. It's also supposed to be. When did we erect the statue? It was also bronze. It's not supposed to be. It's corroded and green now.

It was designed to be that way. I kind of like, it was designed to be that way. To be green. Yeah, it's supposed to be put on the harbor. They're not stupid. They know what's going to happen. Fair enough. They're like, oh my God, it's green.

clean it. Clean it off. You have to clean it every five years, maybe, maybe earlier than that, and also you would slowly destroy the entire statue. Oh, true. So they just say, leave it. Leave it. It's, it's, it's, all right, I'm going to pop a little bubble. If you guys been to the Statue of Liberty? No. A couple things. One, it's actually pretty cool to look at from like, the pressure cooker of liberty. We've talked about this. We have? Uh-huh. Oh, well, never mind that. Yeah, yeah. We had a whole episode. That was 20 episodes ago. Oh, my goodness. We talked about how it's, he called it the pressure cooker of liberty because he got, like, baked inside of it on a summer afternoon.

Oh, I can imagine. Yeah. And the view is okay. That's fine. You used to able to go up on the torch. Yes. You can't do that anymore. No.

Was that a COVID thing? It was just unsafe. There's a little balding. Oh. You go up her arm. And then you, yeah, yeah. You have to climb a ladder. It's not stairs.

Oh, that. Yeah. I don't blame them. I know almost all the layout of it just from the Lego Marvel superhero level. Oh, my God. The Statue of Liberty. I remember now we did talk about that. on a previous episode.

Yeah, because I remember you just were nuts. Did you ever play Lego Marvel superheroes? I did not. I played the Lego Star Wars.

Yes. That was. That is peak. Yeah. That's the best Lego game there ever was, ever will be. And Star Wars is just the best.

Star Wars is just the best. Episode three, of course. I think we end up mentioning Star Wars on nine out of every ten of these episodes. Of course. The Samp of Star Wars comes up. Because it's the best.

Because we're boys. Exactly. And we're only. Only. I get only boys. After rope. Did White, Ask a question.

Why did? Now we're on the wide question. Oh boy. So Wyatt, I don't know if you've listened much to the show. If not, I'm a little hurt,

but it's okay. Wyatt always asked this just diabolical would you rather question of agony and despair. Every episode's a different Would you rather of doom? It's a little dumb sometimes.

This one's really good, actually. I'm excited. Would you rather have super speed only when your eyes are closed or be able to shape shift but be stuck as what you turned into for 12 hours? Oh.

That's fantastic. So I assume shape shift shift into like other human forms or like animals. Yes. Nothing like supernatural. So you can't turn to Superman to fly. Or an egg. That's... You can't turn it to an egg. And then I can super speed, but I have to close my eyes.

So you're gonna balk into things. Exactly. Like you can't run 10 feet without hitting something. Do you think you could learn the layout of something enough to... I mean, can do I get like one of the walker sticks? Like super speed like... Smacking and everything. I would go shape-shifting. I think so, too. I think that shape-shifting is a lot of fun because there's a lot of times where I'd love to live a full day as like... George Bush.

A fish. Or George H.W. Bush. No, W. Oh, W. As George W. Bush. Good old W. I got it. Can you imagine walking into somewhere as someone famous who previously died?

Like George W. You're like, what's up guys. Well, W is alive. H.W. is not alive. H.W. hit the dust. Bit the can. So close. kicked the dust

I'm also thinking I would love to spend a day as like a bear A sun bear I want to chill out in a tree somewhere Sun bears are kind of like So what type of bear? So what type of bear? Between black or grizzly

Or just those? I want to be a sun bear Have you heard of these? No. It's a whole bear species They have like the like the tan bellies And they're kind of thinner and longer Are those are the ones from China?

I think yes They are. They look kind of gnarly Or they're at least in somewhere in Asia And they don't look sickly They don't look sickly They just they just they climb trees really well and then they just like dangle and they find

spots to sleep in the sun. Bears aren't supposed to be that way. I also love to live it as a panda. Oh, of course. Yeah. A Minecraft panda. Dude, I'm taking like a worm. Just like what is it like? You're not going to be a worm. What is it? I'm not going to love you.

If I was a worm for 12 hours, I would hate you. But that's the problem. Whatever you shape shift into, you can probably die. You can't be a worm. Yeah, like What if a bird? A bird, exactly. But that's so soft. Okay, okay, but I'm going to do it at 4, at like 3 p.m. I'm going to turn into the worm. And then that early bird,

he's not getting up at 3 a.m. for 5. That early bird only gets up at 5. But you're stuck there for 12 hours as a worm. I'm a worm in, man. Birds are out at some point that time. Nope. Now I don't go underground. You know what I want to be? I would do 12 hours as a rhino so that I can have momentous success. Rino winning. Wow. A bit of a callback there. I like that. Yeah. Yeah. Or I don't know. Being a lion or a cheetah. Yeah. One of the, like, that's just so fast. I'd be a lion. Like I'm in Ross St. Yeah, what? Shaped into a lion.

The lion does not shape shift. That feels like a sketch from an old show. Oh, he transformed into a bear, and it's just someone from the 85 bears. Oh, well, so close. I mean, bears the Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah, yeah, bears the Super Bowl. Every single time.

We can't get away from Bears in the Super Bowl. Well, I was the last question, as always. But Storm, I feel like you have something that you want to talk about. I kind of forgot about it. I brought a collision in here with me, Those who don't know, the Hillsdale Collegian, our student newspaper, once a semester, year? Once a semester.

At the end of the semester, they'll put out a page of their newspaper called the Hellsdale Collision, which is a bit of a parody, and they'll do a bunch of funny fake articles. And then also just put about, I put a bunch of other, like, next week in the collision. And some of these really great. I'm going to name drop up. It's the end of the episode. Lewis Thune wrote a title of an article in here called, Senior Lament's graduating single, quote, I never moved on from freshman women and he was showing me that one in class

and I was like looking for in the collision but I was very very excited. Did you see some of these? Did you get to read this idea? I loved this year's collision. This was a really good one. The last year's one, it was okay. But they made an article

about how Sidney Sweeney's going to speak at our commencement and I thought it was hilarious. There are so, I'm not going to read the article, obviously. Go read yourself. It's awesome. There are so many sexual innuendos in this article. It is so funny.

Whoever wrote this, whoever's banana tussard? I don't know. pen name pseudonym you know what you were doing great job also the the collision poem about being a fundy that i think lupus thubb you can guess who that is that's also a phenomenal poem did you read the collision this year yeah yeah very good work so i just wanted a moment of praise to say that the collision this was i think the hardest i've laughed at a collision in my time here i don't remember the other ones i remember there being a hillsdale crossword last spring

maybe last winter um that was like hillsdale things and they were all like funny words but you know this was a lot better and also these are just also good these next weeks the next weeks so just a praise there just a really a praise for the college in general this was a great semester

this was a generational semester well generationally fast you asked me it became Christmas I mean for you they get they got faster and faster I'm guessing college semesters here oh my goodness I mean

a lot of people ask like oh how do you like college or like how is college feeling it's fast high school felt so long and that was even with COVID I think you're right, yeah. Like, it was just, not a drag is like a negative thing to say.

Like, it was just long. And I enjoyed high school, but Hillsdale being here has been wicked fast. I don't know what it is. If it's something in the water, if it's just how fun, how much fun we're having at the dorm. Like, it's kind of sad, you know.

The more fun you have, the quicker it goes. To the, to the freshmen completing their first semester here, thinking, wow, that was a long time. And that was so much work I had to do this first semester of 13 credits. Well, they built their own schedules this year. They did. That's crazy work. But they still, a lot of them only ended up with like 13 credits.

But to that freshman, that little feller, wandering in, that boy who's going to become a man over the next four years, what do you say? What are your words to conclude 2025 and reach out to that feller? Definitely. It's actually an interesting question because we talked about that in logic and rhetoric today. And I think the class consensus was transfer out or drop out. get away run far it only gets worse no um i will say it gets it will be tough it's gonna there's gonna be long nights and even longer days because you're not gonna sleep the night before but it's worth it in the end and just remember the most important thing is having a good friend group yes

being with them and not always just hiding in the library because you know college is it's all about the people you meet and the memories you make. So make the most. It is the people. I mean, it's so cliche, but it's true. They hold on to that and it really means a lot. So make good friends. I love you guys. I love this show. I love you, the listener. Each and every one of you, you sweet, wonderful people that spend your Saturdays listening to us, Yap. Thank you for a great year of boys only. 2025 was a blast.

We will be back next year, 2026 for an even better second year. Crazier guests, maybe. More boys. More only. A significantly more only. Yes. But unfortunately, less Rastow.
