It's time for Ghost on Trend Dog. Ghost on Trend Dog in the morning. this podcast. Wake your ass up, it's Dax and Grenda in the morning! Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of Dax and Grenda in the morning!

I thought we were going to do like a whole egg. Oh. I thought we were going to do like a whole like. Oh. Because you had like a little jazz scat going on. Yeah. It's a constant state of uncoordination. Your life is jazz. I get it.

Yeah. That's true. You are jazz, man. I am a jazz. I don't know if I like it that way. I don't know if I like it that way. I don't know if I like you saying it like that. I was drinking my coffee, and you're like, I am a jazz. I'm like, ooh, almost spit that out.

I don't know what I am a jazz means, but I don't like it. I am a jazz. I am the Senate. I am a jazz. I stopped you from playing Final Fantasy. How's that going? Yo, that game is great. It is so, the best way I can describe it, people keep asking me is,

World of Warcraft is an MMORPG, right? But Final Fantasy XIV is more like an RPG MMO. So it has all the MMO things, but instead of, you know, doing story stuff to get to a raid And the raid is the big moment In Final Fantasy XIV it's like You do the raid to get to the 15 minute cutscene

Which is like the big moment And so if you're into story stuff If you're into RPGs it's a great game And so yeah I'm at the end Of the most recent expansion And everyone's super hyped because apparently it is insane and i'm like in times a million and it's been great i'm having a good time i was watching you play it seems pretty cool it's one of those things

where like i like watching people play it you know it's uh i like watching that more than actually playing it then at the end of the stream, there's always people being like, ha ha, Crandor. And then there's always the couple people where you don't even know if they're actually mad. They're just like, I hate Crandor. I hate him. I know most people do it just to get under skin. Oh, yeah. I know that.

They clearly don't, but they do it just to get reactions. Just streaming in general. People will show up and say a thing trying to get you to react, and I usually don't. Oh, yeah. Well, it happens, like, every time, like, I'll play with somebody or you play with somebody. Like, when you play with, like, multiple people, if you go to everybody's chat, there's always somebody who's like, I can't stand Crendor. Or like, God, that Jesse guy is just loud and annoying.

Why you got to be so specific? Why you got to be you gotta be so specific and that's what i'm saying sometimes they hit you a little specific way and you're like that just comes with the business that was years of tv like years of working with tv oh yeah i would show up in videos people like i hate this guy and then eventually they'd be like yeah I used to hate you, but then I like kind of grew on me as I got your bitch Well, then I'm with TB. There's that one guy every time we do a co-optional that one guy I swear to God he's just like not another Crencast again. He's there every time there's not another cred or podcast again

It's just like you got the point I even cares just as't even care. It was just annoying, him and chat. And then Dodger banned him once. This one guy, I have him on my Twitter. Actually, he hasn't messaged me in a long time. And I promised I would message him if he ever stopped messaging me. But he's the dude who on Twitter would be like, fuck you, and he would say it every day. And that's all he would tweet at me.

I mean, at least he's committed. Yeah, I made a joke with Alex Gerard and Davis that if he ever stopped, I would have to message him and be like, are you okay? Because I don't respond to any of his messages. I just let him message me. And I've never responded, but I feel like I was like, when he stops one day, I should. And he actually hasn't. I think he grew out of it. I think he was like, you know what?

Maybe I can do better things with my life than messes jesse although i'm hoping he's listening he's not listening he's that guy who's like his terrible voice stupid loud idiot yeah yeah that's the thing it's like once you go on the internet there's always going to be somebody i still remember like 11 years ago when i started this and I posted on the wow forum. Just like, I still remember my first insult or someone ever said to me, I can't say it, but trust me, I remember. Gotcha. No, yeah, I get it. That just, you know, it just builds up over time.

Can I ask you a question? Did it, did whatever was said about you cause you to go down the path towards Buff Door? Uh, no. Did it inspire you to be like, I'll get revenge on him one day. If I ever see him, that WoW nerd, I'll crush him like an egg. Right? Not at all. No, that's only my fantasy?

Okay. Yeah. Mine was strictly like, hey, my body's falling apart. I need to get healthy. That was essentially why I became Bub. But that was just an added bonus. Now I can actually, like, you know, now I'm strong. Right, of course, of course, yeah.

Dude, I've got, like, my chest press is up to 130. Damn, you're killing it. Yeah, and it's crazy because when I started, it was 30. So I've added on 100 pounds of chest press power. Don't like that phrase of chest press power. Don't like that phrase. Chest press power! I've got abs now

in my upper abs. My lower abs aren't there. They're like kind of there, but they're not visible. Just for everyone listening right now, when referring to your abs, how hairy are these abs? I don't have one

Are you rocking a shaved bod right now? Or are you Like really hairy? I have like Upper chest hair That's not what I'm asking Are we talking big foot? Or shaved? There's no in between

We're not talking big foot You have to be one of the two I am in between You have to pick one, big foot or shaved? There's no in between. We're not talking Bigfoot. You have to be one of the two. Bigfoot or shaved. I am an in between. You have to pick one, Bigfoot or shaved. I can't pick one because I'm in between. Are you more of a Bigfoot? Are you a Bigfoot?

I mean, if I had to side, I'd say I'm closer to the Bigfoot than the... All right. Good. All right. That's all I want to know. All right. Yeah. All right.

I'm just thinking of fan art. I'm thinking of fan art. A really buff Bigfoot. I mean, I mainly started going to get healthy and it worked because my blood pressure went down. So that was good. That's amazing. I was going to tell a story.

What was the story? I don't know. I can. I can tell you a story while you think it up. And then you can just stop me. You're like, whenever you're ready. You just, I'll stop. All right.

So I, about a week and a half ago, was like, I'm never drinking soda again. Period. It's out of my life forever. I went and on recommendation of chat, they were like, you got to try those Mio things in your water because it'll make you forget about soda. And I was like, I'll give it a shot. I don't know if it's the combination of trying to eat better or the Mios themselves. But I, my gut has been like, for like four days. I don't know what's going on.

I went to go have Thanksgiving dinner with my parents. Like I sat at home, did the whole quarantining thing, went over there, had dinner. Or not Thanksgiving. What is Christmas? Christmas. Yeah. And yeah, I was there and my stomach was hurting. I was like, I gotta go guys.

I don't feel well. I went home and just laid on the couch like, oh, and, uh, yeah, I feel better now. But for a good couple of days there, I was, it was, it was bad news. I don't know if I was going through whatever I was going through. I went online to look up what was in these meals. I was like, is stevia a thing I should worry about? I feel like that causes poops, right? But I don't know what the deal is.

All I know is that, yeah, this transition to trying living healthier is, it sucks. Yeah, it's definitely it's definitely uh not fun uh i kind of well with like stevia i don't think stevia is part of the like what do you call it like the fake sugar group like it's a sweetener but i don't think it's like a fake sugar like a lot of time like a natural sweetener yeah with like sorbitol gums and like stuff like i forgot forget what they're called. They're like all these xanthan gum. They put in a lot of sugar-free stuff, but it actually causes a lot of IBS and like gastro problems. Right.

But I don't think stevia is a part of that, but I'm not positive. I think it's an agave. It's like an agave. Yeah, I don't know. I looked it up and I went through, you know, the internet worth of searches and was like well i know just about as much before i started all this information's contradictory cool can't wait

to to dig more and uh then it kind of like i cleared up kind of got better and everything's fine but it could have been just the fact that I've been drinking so much water lately that my body was like, all right, boys, let's clear it out. I don't know. What quadrant? What quadrant are we talking? Upper left, upper right, lower left? Oh, literally just my stomach. It wasn't like my body.

So upper left. My stomach was like, it was just rumbly for two days. So you're talking upper left. I guess. I don't know. Your stomach is in the upper left, but kind of the middle. Well, it felt like right in the middle, like in my gut. All right.

Because, you know, sometimes it could still be an IBS if you're getting it up there. Well, they don't have it anymore. And it wasn't like blockage, if that's what a weird subject this podcast has gone into it wasn't like you know everything was fine it was just the frequency of use was very high well the ibs they can come and go you can get ibs from like certain foods and it could just affect you whenever you eat that food i don't know it wasn't uh there was one person i heard they would eat cheez-its and every time they cheese it's they had like bad stomach stuff and migraines and everything and then they stopped eating cheese that's they

were fine interesting yes i mean sometimes foods just affect people well i in the meantime i want to give a shout out to this raspberry rose sparkling water I found. Oh, my God. It is great. I feel like the biggest douche drinking anything called raspberry rose, but I don't care. I simply don't care. It's delicious. Now, me, I'm going to give a shout out to G2 Glacier Freeze Gatorade.

Whenever I go to the gym, I want to drink Gatorade, but I don't want all the sugar of the Gatorade. Because whenever I go to the gym, I want to drink Gatorade, but I don't want all the sugar of the Gatorade so I get these lower sugar G2 Gatorades. So they still got sugar in it, but it's only like 12 grams, 12 included or whatever. It's like cut in half, essentially.

It takes a little getting used to because you might be used to your sugary Gatorade and like, woo! But once you get used to it, I'm like, it's great. Love it takes a little getting used to because you might be used to your sugary Gatorade and like, woo. But once you get used to it, I'm like, it was great. Love it. Hydration. I will say, everyone was like, dude, you're going to miss Cokes and stuff so bad. I don't know.

I'm not in that place where I'm just like, man, I could use a soda. Like, I'm not there. I just, it might be one of the easier things I've ever quit. Yeah. Yeah, really I guess I didn't realize how many options there were out there for the exact same kind of Feel that makes any sense. That's weird thing to say, you know, like The coke hit you're getting that also sounds like I'm talking about drugs It's not Not what I'm referring to. But yeah, I guess it's just easy to replace. It's been pretty easy.

Anyway, you had a story, yes? So, yesterday, we decided to get pizza. Because it's like, all right, we'll just get pizza, right? Sure. So we got it. We ordered the pizza. And I was like, let's see, what's the wait time? It was like an hour and a half.

That sounds like an after Christmas kind of thing, yeah. So I was like, and they're like, delivery's going to take two to three hours. I was like, you know, I'll just go because I guess they're so backed up and everyone's at the door. So I'm like, you know what, I'll just go pick it up, right? They even have it like you park

your car, they come out, they give it to you. What pizza place was this? We got to call them out out this is the Lou Malnati this is where I took you normally a normal pizza place I imagine isn't that busy but Lou Malnati's from what I could tell our time there seems like a family kind of restaurant right like where you go you bring the fam you have your deep dish you know all right I get it it's a very and it's more of like when you get a deep dish it's more of like you don't get it often so like i feel like right after christmas everyone's like hey what if we get a deep dish right so that feels like a thing so i mean there's other deep dish you got your giordano's you got your uh your unos you got your uh yeah but who knows uh poo poo caca let's be real yeah i mean and piqua a lot of people like Your Uno's, you got your Pequod's. Yeah, but Uno's is kind of poo-poo-ca-ca.

Let's be real. And Pequod's, a lot of people like Pequod's, but I feel like they burn it. All right. I feel like they burn the crust too much. Then Gino's East. Gino's East was like I'm eating a pie crust. I don't want to actually eat the actual pie. However, if any of these places want to sponsor us.

Yeah, well, yeah. You're great. Great. Great pizza. I feel like Lumal Night is the best of the Chicago deep dish chains. So I'm like, all right, go there. So I go. I was like, you know what?

I'm even going to give them some extra time. I gave them two hours instead of the hour and a half. So I'm like, you know what? I'll show up a little late. Parking lot is jam packed. Oh, my God. Cayman Park. So I parked farther away.

So I'm like, alright. So I put on the mask. I walk over there. There's like 10 old people waiting outside. And one guy's like, I've been here 30 minutes! I've been here 30 minutes! This kid comes out with like a walkie-talkie

working there. He's like, what's your order? What's your thing? Alright. And then his walkie-talkie just starts going like, beep-boop, beep-boop, beep-boop, beep-boop working there he's like what's your order what's your thing all right and then his walkie talkie just starts going like and he's like come on he's like he's like angrily like hitting it and he's like you gotta be kidding me you gotta be kidding me and he like walks back in and i'm like all right everything seems to be going smoothly everything's fine yeah then this guy's like do you have harris order 405 harris do you have harris and he's like sir did we help you already he's like yeah but i want to check again he's like sir we can't can't sir you gotta you gotta go wait and he's like it's cold outside and he's

like i know you can wait in your car if you want he's like then oh my God, this big meatball man, probably like in his 30s, comes up. And he was just like the coolest guy. He walks up. He's like, yo, is this the pizza line? I'm like, I guess so. And he's like, all right. And he's like, man, this place is crazy. I was like, yeah.

And he's like, I was going to order from one of the other places around here. I was going to get this. And I was like, hey, you know what? I'll go deep dish. And that was like, hey, you know what? I'll go deep dish. And that was the wrong choice, I guess. And I was like, yep. I guess it was. Did he already order it?

Or was he just waiting? Yeah, he already ordered it online. He's like, when did you order? I'm like, two hours ago. He's like, shit, I ordered an hour ago. That's not good. He's like, yep. I don't think it is.

So then some more people are coming up. ladies like write my number down call me when the pizza's ready and they're like ma'am we can't do that and she's like I don't believe it and then the manager comes out she's like I'm sorry this is the craziest it's like ever been I've never seen it like this it was like insane and then the guy like all the kids like the high school kids working there just bringing out the pizzas for everybody like looking around for cars and people and the dude the meatball man just goes like hey what number is that order and they're like uh 298 he goes 298 298 some woman's like hey i'm 298 and he's like hey look at that i did it he just started yelling man there's what you're saying yeah and then after like another one he's like they should just hire me or at least give me the pizza free and then after about 20 minutes

of standing out in like 20 degrees they brought my pizza out out. And then, uh, I was like, Oh, there it is. And he's like, yo, congratulations, man. That's like the lottery.

And I was like, Oh, I thought you meant the server. I was like, wait, what? No, the meatball.

The meatball. Yeah. He's like, congratulations, man. It's like winning the lottery. And I was like, Hey,

good luck waiting. And he's like, thanks. And that was the last, I mean, some say he's still out there this day. Next time you go there, there's a frozen meatball statue. Honestly, that would be like the Michael Jordan statue in front of the United Center.

The meatball man. He brought people their pizzas before he rose to death. He was a good soul. Honestly, that's the other thing he said. He was like, man, I would have got the livery. I know it said it takes longer, but this is going to take long too. And I was like, yeah. And he's like, they should at least give us some cocktails out here.

Does Lou Malnati serve cocktails? I don't know if they do. They might, actually. But I don't know if they do. They might, actually. But I don't know if they're going to bring them out to you while you're waiting outside. There's something we want to do. We want to give these people outside a reason to thin their blood with alcohol. So, I mean, like, three-fourths of the people waiting outside were, like, 70. And they're just like, I ordered pizza for my family.

Yeah, that sounds right. But then there was Meatball Man. He was great. And he even said, I forgot, he's like, I used to work at a pizza joint. I don't know if that's what it was called or if he just meant like a pizza place. And he's like, I think that's what he meant. Yeah. He's like, I used to work at a pizza joint.

It's crazy, man. It's crazy. They're trying their hardest. You know, they're trying. I feel like this is a generalization, pizza joint It's crazy man it's crazy They're trying their hardest I feel like this is a generalization Because it is But most younger people In their like mid 30's and down I think

You know For the last 20 years or so Have been pretty beat down So they're like Yeah I mean I'll wait What else am I gonna do And yeah I've been pretty beat down. So they're like, yeah, I mean, I'll wait. What else am I going to do? And yeah.

And then you see a lot of older people are like, I want it now. I've been waiting five minutes. It's far too long. And a lot of other people are like, yeah, man, just like do your job. I'll be here. You know, I know it's not your fault. Just keep going. Yeah. I don't know if it's because more younger people

have worked in that type of food service yeah or if i don't know i feel like it's an empathy thing where it's just like look i get it this is a shit job that you don't want to do and you have to do it and right now all these people are out here yelling at you like no man you take your time just get it done you know i'd rather have a warm pizza when it's ready than you like you know lose your mind and stop working all together exactly so i don't know if maybe they're just maybe you just get old and you don't care anymore maybe you just got pain and sadness i don't know and you're just like man i mean or it's just uh i don't know maybe they're just not patient, meh. I mean, or it's just, I don't know. Maybe they're just not patient.

But it's been that way, I think, for a while, is most people who are now in their 70s, 20 years ago, were like, where's your hustle? Why aren't you working faster, kid? That kind of thing. That's true. And, yeah, I don't know if it's because when they were younger, the jobs they worked as, like, the soda hop or whatever.

I don't imagine those are the same type of job as what we have now in the equivalent. I don't think that working at McDonald's now translates to working at McDonald's 40 years ago. Oh, yeah. No, I agree with that. And so I think it's two vastly different experiences. And one of them paid you a wage which you could go home and take care of a family. And one, you barely make any money doing it. I think it says a lot when most of the discussion about, for example, right now when everyone's talking about unemployment.

And they're like, people make more money on unemployment than working. That doesn't seem like a problem to people. Like, there's your problem. If you make more money by not working, then maybe increase the money. Oh, my God. It drives me crazy. I'm like, no wonder no one wants to do your job. This stupid ass like, all right, so someone's got to fill my fries or else I'm not going to get fries.

Well, pay him to fill the fries idiot And it's like if you don't at least be nice to him yeah Yeah, they're working for nothing the least you can do is be like look I got it, bro Take a moment and get it done do what you got to do yeah Yeah, there's there's no reason to be a dick to people who are just trying to like do their damn job We need more Meatball Man. Yeah. Be like Meatball Man. Yeah. Be like Meatball

Man and before you know it you're going to be having a meatball day. In a meatball world. Remember Earth isn't flat. Earth is meatball-shaped, everyone. Remember that. Yeah, that was a good thing.

Yeah, I envy that guy. That guy seemed pretty chill and relaxed. Although, I mean, what else are you going to do? Real talk. What else are you going to do? Just sit there and be like,, what else are you going to do? Real talk. Yeah. What else are you going to do? Is just sit there and be like, look,

I can't, what am I going to do? Make the pizza myself, go in there and make it. No, I'm good. Yeah. I watched,

I was, of course, of course, because this is where I usually spend my mornings. I was on, uh, our slash public freak out on Reddit. And,

uh, this woman wanted her refund for her chinese food and the line was backed up and so rather than wait in the line to get her refund she just went behind the counter and pulled the money out of the cash register oh and i was like what and then and then she like got her money and like walked out And then she got her money and walked out. I was like, what the hell? Why are people like this?

Oh, I can't look away from videos like that. I can't believe the way people treat each other sometimes. I was like, what the hell? Yeah. Oh, there was this one guy. There's one video of this dude who it's shot from an ambulance. The ambulance has its sirens on. And it's like, woo, woo, woo.

And this guy in front of him will not move. And he's like, come on, move. And the guy won't move. And so the ambulance bumps into the back of his car to get him to move. Guy gets out of his car, starts yelling at the ambulance for hitting his car. I was like, oh my God. Hey, what the hell you doing? Trying to save lives?

Yeah, I just don't sometimes understand people. And they're so self-absorbed. That's why this past week I was like, I could go to the grocery store or I could not go the week before Christmas. And see, that's when the people who are total assholes are at the grocery store. Every time. Every time.

That is true. They're like, all right, Chandler. Chandler, pick out the cereal you want for Christmas Day, Chandler. I'm just like, excuse me. Excuse me. I need to get through. Chandler, come back here. What do you want?

Cocoa puffs or cocoa crispies? Chandler. Chandler. He's always like this. He's always like this. He's always like this. Like, excuse me. Can I just get through? Excuse me. Are the people that have like a

family of seven that just form the walls so nobody can get by? Yes. They walk down the small one aisle. It's like, if you just get everybody in that. Nope. Okay. Alright, I'll just wait. I. Nope. Okay. All right. I'll just wait. I'll just wait here.

That's fine. Not going anywhere. Yeah. There was a woman at the seafood counter. She was like, do you have any fresh shrimp? He's like, what we have is right there, ma'am. She's like, no, no, no. The fresh shrimp.

He's like, it's on ice. It's right there. It's what we She's like, no, no, no. The fresh shrimp. He's like, it's on ice. It's right there. It's what we have. No, no, no. Not for these people. The fresh shrimp. And he, like, looked at his friend who was working the counter. And they looked at each other like, I don't know what she's talking about.

But I knew for a fact that in her mind she saw them look at each other and they were like, she knows about the shrimp. It was like, of course, to her, this is them realizing like, oh, she knows. She's like, well, if you don't have any fresh shrimp. And he's like, ma'am, our shrimp is fresh. It's right here. We have it on ice. It just came in this morning. She's like, well, if you don't have any fresh shrimp, like trying to shout it very loudly.

And I don't know why. a fresh shrimp, like trying to shout it very loudly, and I don't know why. Like, if you don't have fresh shrimp, then I guess I'll just take any fresh cod or haddock. And the guy was like, alright, it's right there, and he points again to the little window.

He's like, it's right there. She's like, no, the fresh kind, not this frozen. He's like, man, it's not frozen, it's just on ice frozen. He's like, man, it's not frozen. It's just on ice. It's always like it just sends me flashbacks to working at Circuit City

like 10 years ago. And I just remember that lady with the Kung Fu Panda. I almost spit out my coffee again. I want to let you know I was taking a sip of coffee and when you really got a lady with a Kung Fu Panda, I almost spit out my coffee. That old lady with Kung Fu Panda, I almost spit out my coffee. That old lady with Kung Fu Panda.

I swear to God. I've never... It was like scarring. It's like... I just... She'd be like, where's Kung Fu Panda? And I was like, ma'am, we're liquidating. We're going out of business.

We don't get any new products. And she's like, but you have Kung Fu Panda. And I'm like, no, that's a new movie. It's a new product. We don't have it because we're going out of business. And she's like, I bet Best Buy would have it. And I'm like, no, that's a new movie. It's a new product. We don't have it because we're going out of business. And she's like, I bet Best Buy would have it. And I'm like, I bet they would. They're not going out of business.

And then she's like, well, I'll take my business there. And I'm like, I don't care. I'm going to work here another week and a half. My favorite part is I want to believe that next time she drove past there and it was closed down, she was like, I helped shut them down. She probably did. Terrible service, that young man. Very rude.

I want Kung Fu Panda. She just wanted Kung Fu Panda so badly. I wonder if she ever got Kung Fu Panda. I mean, it's a delightful movie. I understand why. Yeah. Those are just, God. Oh, shit. That's funny. I want why. Yeah. Those are just... God. Oh, shit. That's funny. I want

Cuckoo Panda. I didn't even work there that long, and I already have, like, a list of stories. That's insane. Well, now, luckily, we don't have to do any of that stuff. Thanks to our amazing sponsors! Beep, beep! Beep, beep, beep!

The unidentified man was flying on a powered parachute on Sunday when he became entangled in power lines.

Oh, no. Oh, no, Krennic. Okay, yeah. This is in Rio Linda, California. Santa found himself a little more tied up than usual this time of year. Northern California man impersonating Santa Claus flying on a powered parachute was rescued Sunday after he became entangled in power lines.

The incident happened shortly after the man took off near a school to deliver candy canes to children in his community. He flew into a maze of power lines and wound up suspended in them. The man, who wasn't identified, was not injured. Video from the rescue shows the red, white, and blue aircraft dangling over her head. Santa sat fastened to the pilot's seat. Neighbors watched from the ground as crews worked. Colleen Bousleyman, who lives nearby, said the pilot flies overhead often.

To deliver candy canes? He often to deliver candy canes he does this for candy canes he flies around so people can see and flies around people's houses this was the first time he was in his santa suit power was shut off during can you just imagine this man flying over your house all the time he never stopped we keep trying to get him to but he never will yeah uh power was shut off during the rescue to about 200 customers according to the fire district why is the power out mom santa son santa there he is oh my god it's much more dramatic than I thought it would be He is

They said it didn't take long to rescue the costume pilot and lower him to safety.
