Awesome technology? Is that how you describe it?
That's what it is.
We'll talk about that later.
Now let's jump into this podcast.
Hello, everybody. It's time for Ghost on Trend Dog.

It's Crendon in the morning!
Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Cax and Crendon in the morning!
Whoa, you revved up like a Kawasaki.
Yeah, you were trying to outrun the Yakuza or something. I don't know what was going on there.
I don't think you should do sound effects.
I don't know, I do sound effects I don't know
I think I should
I don't know were you charging up like
your Iron Man suit
what was that noise
your slide whistle
Iron Man online
no that's not how Iron Man sounds or talks
I bet you every time Iron Man used his suit, it had to power up and be like, Iron Man online.
He's like, God, I wish I didn't put that in there.
That would be the lamest.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, villains.
Wait.
He steps in the suit and it's like, Iron Man online.
They're like, oh, boy.
Oh, no.
This guy again
So yeah, how was your week?
My week? Good
I took time off last week
We did our podcast early
Oh yeah
You drove to the old
The old country
The old country
The Pacific Southwest
Is that what it's called?
Southwest America
is where I were.
That's right.
Where I were, tell you what.
I'm already sounding like I went to the
South.
That's where I were.
Someone's going to write in and be like,
that's actually the correct English.
That's not true.
That is correct English, I tell you what.
Tell you what, where I
work.
But yeah, I
went for a wedding and it was great
and I decided that instead
of flying, because I'm like still kind of iffy
on flying at the moment,
so I decided I'd drive
and I'd take some time to not look at the
internet, to not do do anything just to like
Chill out
I had a blast
I spent one day driving out of LA
Which is in itself a whole thing
I was in the middle of the high desert
And there was still traffic
There was no life around me
Except on the lanes and the road
There were so many people
Couldn't explain why that was i just
i even texted someone at the time like this is so dumb i don't understand why this is but eventually
i got out of la and ended up in the middle of nowhere and uh the road was so flat and so
straight that at one point in time i wasn't paying attention to my driving and i looked down i was going like 105 and i was like oh my uh yeah apparently
you can't tell how fast you're going when you're in the open desert and there's no one around you
but um yeah i ended up going uh to you know hang out at a wedding for uh two days and then i came
home and on the way home i decided to take some time and get lost in arizona and
uh because it's like you know close to la but not and there's a lot of weird stuff in arizona
and weird people and i was like i want to see all of it i want to see all of it so first off
along the way there are signs i'm going to say every 10 miles, that are like, see the thing. What is the thing?
Go see the thing.
And I was like, I got to see the thing.
I don't know what this is, but I got to go see it.
And it's like a museum, kind of?
A museum of weird stuff.
And, of course, the thing, I could not tell you what it is.
It is either a piece of stone or an alien.
It's that kind of thing.
Where I'm like I don't know what I'm looking at right now.
I have no idea what this is.
It's either a stone or a spaceman.
Couldn't tell you.
And then they had other weird stuff there.
But it was like alright.
I went around and spent a lot of time.
Just like checking out weird little places
Like everyone was like, oh, you got to go to Tucson
I was like, what the hell's in Tucson?
They're like, I don't know, check it out
And I was like, okay
So I got a sub at a place called EG's, Edgy's, something like that
It was alright
And I stayed at a hotel that everyone was like, five star hotel
It was literally like a comfort suites or something
It was like, you know, a roadside hotel But I was like, five stars, dude This hotel is the best I was like, I'll hotel it was literally like a comfort suites or something it was like you know a roadside hotel but i was like five stars dude this hotel is the best i was like i'll stay there
for the night so i roll up to the hotel it's dark and i'm like hmm this area seems kind of empty
again i forget that i'm in the desert so it's dark like it's dark pull up to the hotel it the
hotel's packed by the way Cars in every spot
I was like oh this must be the spot to stop
So I pull in everything's good
I go to the counter I'm like
Hey I haven't had dinner yet
Like what's there to eat around here
And the guy looks at me and he's like
There's the convenience mart next door
I'm like what
He's like there's not much to eat around here
And I was like there's gotta be something.
So I went to my Yelp app
and it literally for miles was
nothing. I was like,
why is there a hotel in the middle of nowhere
with just one gas station next
to it and nothing else and it's rated
five stars? I was like, I need
to know what's happening in this hotel.
Where is it? Tucson?
Yes, this is in Tucson.son it's like uh it's either
directly north or directly south of tucson i can't remember where it's like the university area
there was nothing i took i took a video and it's me moving my camera around and there's this crowded
parking lot of cars and then i turn and it's all pitch black like this it's just desert as far as
you can see it i was like this is one of the craziest things i've ever seen oh yeah it was
wild i was like oh all right i guess this is what desert living's like meanwhile going back towards
california the closer i get to california the more i see signs that are like stop by blithe california
and i was like what the hell i've never heardlythe, California. And I was like, what the hell?
I've never heard of Blythe before.
And every sign was like, you're going to want to stop there.
And I realized the closer I got, what they were saying was like, weed's legal in California.
And if you live in Arizona, you definitely, wink, can come to Blythe.
We wink.
I probably have something there for you, wink.
And that's every sign was that along the way.
And then I get that drive through blind.
Then I was like, there are like six houses here.
I bet all six houses are selling weed.
I was like, I can't believe this place.
You know, it was just like a fun getaway.
I spent a lot of time just not even looking at the internet.
It was great.
Driving around was fun.
I did get harassed by a redneck, and it was great.
I stopped at a gas station in the middle of nowhere, and there was a man in a van yelling at people.
Uh-oh.
That's never good, a man in a van.
Oh, yeah.
A man in a van is yelling, and he was like, take your mask off.
What are you, queer?
And everyone's trying to get gas, and he's just like take it off
take your mask off and everyone's just ignoring him but he's still going like no one's interacting
with him no one's fighting him no one's like trying to be like shut up dude he's just going
off and so here's what i'll say weird gas station experience great gas station it was that kind of
gas station that's so in the middle of nowhere that all the candies they have are like old-timey Joe's sweet treats.
And so I got some cherry licorice that was like made from scratch.
I was like, I don't know how that works.
Made out of cactus and desert scratch.
Yes, yes.
It was like old sweet tooth licorice.
I was like, I need this stuff. And so I bought some and I was like munching on it whileice. I was like, I need this stuff.
And so I bought some and I was like munching on it while driving.
I was like, this shit's good.
I was like, I need to find me old sweet tooth or whatever it's called.
Yeah, I mean, I had a great time.
I would stop every so often and check out like different sites and things along the way.
At one point it was take exit five. I think it was Exit 5.
It doesn't matter. Take Exit 5.
Look at me trying to accurately depict.
It doesn't even matter. It was like,
Take Exit 5 to see the best cliff
in Arizona. I was like, I gotta see the best
cliff. It was a cliff.
Is it the best? I have no judgments
there. It definitely was a cliff.
Did you see other cliffs?
Cliff. Clives? Cliff-I. What do you mean Cliff-I? Yeah, of course, Cliff-I. judgments there it definitely was a cliff did you see other cliffs cliff clives cliff eye what
yeah of course cliff eye uh yeah it was like a fun trip and then i came back and uh for about a day
and a half i felt great and then i decided to like see what was going on the internet and immediately
was like why jesse Why'd you do this?
However, I'm starting to feel justified The other day
I saw a YouTuber that I really respect
And like a lot and does a lot of work
And he's very very funny
And very popular
And he tweeted basically like
If I didn't have to
Do this for work I wouldn't be on social media
And I was like
Yes another one of me.
Yes, you understand.
I know it's even a lot of people that I've followed have alt accounts now.
They use their main account for just being like, hey, guys, here's an ad.
Here's a thing I'm doing.
And then they use their alt account to be like God I just hate everything
Oh I don't even
I don't want to even do that
I would rather
If there was some way
That I could communicate with people
And then not actually have to like
See what my peers are doing
Oh I agree
That's such a weird thing to say
But like if I could communicate to fans
Without also being constantly inundated And bombarded with how well everyone else is doing, I just don't want to know.
I don't want to know that you got your 12th brand deal for $8 million.
I just don't want to know.
I don't want to know.
Now I'm judging myself based on you, and now I'm feeling terrible.
I don't want to know that stuff.
You do you.
Stop bragging.
Stop bragging to me.
At least when you see me tweet, you know you're not going better i don't know sometimes i'm like man crendor's having the best day ever
yeah it might be but usually that's because i'm doing something extremely simplistic
yeah like hey i'm gonna be i'm painting this guy and it's fun Or like hey I read a book I did read a book actually
What book did you read?
I finished Warbreaker
By Brandon Sanderson
Okay so you're still on Brandon Sanderson
You're still on that kick I see
Yeah so it was about 650 pages
Good job
And I read it
And I loved it and the last 100 pages i read in like a day like it
hit the point where i'm like i gotta read it i gotta know what happens i uh yeah i i love that
i love when a book does that where you're like i gotta see how this ends yeah yeah so because
there he has this big series called like the way of kings or it's like the stormlight trilogy so
it's like his big uh or not trilogy but his like epic fantasy
thing so I was like before I start
reading this like thousand page book I'm gonna
read something else of his to see
if I actually like you know
his books and after
reading that now I'm like now I gotta
read it so now I've been reading the way of kings
and uh
it's a pretty crazy start
but I'm like, all right.
And then I just read.
I usually read a little bit every day.
I think that's a good plan
is to read a little bit every day.
I, unfortunately, am now all about audiobooks
because when I'm in the car,
I just listen.
If I'm not with people,
I'll just put on a book.
And so the entire...
Here's what I'll say.
Being a Star Wars fan sucks.
It is...
I don't know how...
It feels like everything is written by a committee it's just one of those things you're in it you're feeling the book you
like where it's going and then something happens where you're just like that was a note that was
clearly a note someone said you should include this because that's so dumb i don't know why it's
in this book but someone was like you know we need to include that because it's part of the movies.
And you're like, oh, that's what it's like.
It sucks.
But I'm enjoying it.
I just, I'm not a big audiobook person.
Really?
You don't?
I, like, if you find a great, I was about to say voiceover, but I guess reader, narrator,
if you find a great one of those, dude, like, you know,
Mark Thompson is the guy who reads a lot of the Star Wars books,
and his voices, a lot of them are, like, so on point.
Some of them are way off, you know, especially the women, obviously.
But some of the voices, like, even Darth Vader is kind of like a dorky Darth Vader
it's just like a really deep voice like
yeah dude
we should totally go do that
did I do that
but like
the octaves lowered
did I do that
did I do that
yeah
it's alright
I mean like
I have other books
I'm trying to get through
But I have this backlog
Of Star Wars books
That I was like
I gotta
I gotta finally get through these
And you know
Sometimes they're great
And sometimes you're like
Who
Who told you to write this
I know you're a great author
Who told you
Someone in a boardroom
Told you to write this
So that's
That's where i'm
at i just the i like i'm like the type of person where i'm like i want a paper book and i'll sit
down i'm gonna read to just like chill out and then that's that's it well that's also i think
because you have free time not driving like if i go anywhere in the city i'm there for an hour
i'm in for an hour, so I might as well listen
to an audiobook. Yeah, that's fair.
I mean, if you're like driving or in the car, I get it.
Yeah. I don't listen to
audiobooks like in my home.
I would just rather read, but I don't
have the
time, so that's that.
Well, as somebody who's also trying
to write, I was like, you know what?
It would probably make sense if I read more.
Because, like, you know, you get better at writing by reading.
What are you trying to write?
Hold on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I thought about this years ago.
Yeah, but you did, and then you stopped.
So what are you trying to do?
Because I was like, oh, this isn't good.
I got to improve.
Okay.
So you were like, my story my story sucked but now here's the
thing i think people would have liked the suck the thing is like i know they would have liked
the suck but i don't want i don't just want to release some suck like i want to release something
where i'm like all right this is pretty good it doesn't have to be amazing doesn't have to be
great but it's got to be like pretty good in my mind and i want to have an rpg like you're gonna
make an rpg that would have been sucky fun i mean i still got it i stopped working on it's in a file
from like six years ago sure of course that's my big thing that's like my big other goal is just i
want to write a book and i want to be good and that's why uh and i don't even want like a trilogy
yet like maybe i'd write once i'd actually get into writing or something, I'd write that.
I just want one good fantasy standalone book that kind of lets me create something.
It's like world building and characterization and characters and everything.
What's your vibe?
Are you going to have fantasy?
Yes.
Fantasy book.
All right.
Oh, time out.
Time out.
All right.
Let's workshop this.
What is your main character in your fantasy story?
Who is it?
I don't know yet.
You have to have something. Come on.
That's part of my problem.
I'm like, I need to develop characters.
Okay, here's the problem I had.
I was making my story, and then I was trying to randomly create characters on the fly to throw into that story.
And then after I read this book, I was like like i think i'd be better off just making characters and then putting them into
the story and then like having a world built around them well what i mean like so what you
need to do and i don't want to tell you how to do stuff but i'm gonna what you need to do
what you need to do is you need to before you do any of that stuff you need to come up with
these characters and then like you said put them in this world but like you know when when you make
a main character you need to think about like not only who the person is right but what stage of
their life they're in like what's happening to them and then what their like major flaw is right
because every character has a major flaw and then like what's redeemable about them and then what their like major flaw is, right? Because every character has a major flaw.
And then like what's redeemable about them
and then sort of like their goal,
but then, you know, what they need, right?
So like the goal is like, I want to be rich.
But what they really need is to like accept happiness
isn't wealth, it's friendship.
Like that kind of shit, right?
It's about creating like balance.
So it's like, you know, you might have a guy
that's like, he's the best creating like balance so it's like uh you know you might have a guy that's like it was the best warrior ever like he's the he's really good but then
he just lacks motivation to like fight so he needs motivation to fight and then when he does he's
like really good but then he's like god i don't care i just like i mean like at the end of the
day story writing is really easy it just takes a lot of work but like i mean the basic gist is you
need the main character, the dynamic catalyst,
right?
The person who comes along to change the main character and then the antagonist.
And that's like, I mean, that's pretty much it.
There's like, so the best example ever is Shrek, right?
Shrek is, he wants to live in a swamp, do his thing.
The dynamic catalyst donkey comes along And sends Shrek on an adventure
To get all the people out of his swamp
And then the antagonist
Is John Lithgow
You know
Being evil
And that's like it
That kind of vibe
If there was a Jesse Cox show
I'm sure it would be like
Jesse Cox wants to make a billion dollars on
twitch and the dynamic catalyst is crendor who's like it's okay to like take time for yourself dude
and then through our comedy of errors i in the end learn to take time for myself the end yeah
easy exactly no i get it it's uh i've got all that down my biggest problem
was i was doing all that and then i was like man i need to like read more books to learn writing
styles and my writing style and writing and then uh oh you're talking about what i've been doing
like syntax grammar and shit the thing is like i got like the part of like world building and
characterization the hardest part of world building is just like, do they live in this city?
And I'm like, I got to research castles and shit and what they did.
A lot of it's just researching how things were.
And then you could be like, well, it doesn't even have to be accurate.
I could create my own place they live, whatever.
So it's a lot of that.
But then a lot of it's just writing.
I noticed when I was writing before, I did a lot of just dialogue and not a lot of that but then yeah a lot of it's just writing like i noticed when i was writing before i did a lot of just dialogue and not a lot of describing stuff and not like you know show don't
tell or whatever but just you know how there's like paragraphs of just like they did not understand
what they were talking about this was the time and like what i didn't do any of that i was just
like they said this the day to date you need to read more erotica
erotica has to
describe things
that you know
they can't say what they're doing
so erotica they have to do it
in a way that's like
her moist
quiver
mounds
in the moonlight her moist quiver mounds in the moonlight.
I don't know.
Or moist quiver mounds
in the moonlight.
That's what I came up with.
That's what came
to my head. So really
your advice is to watch
Shrek and read Erotica.
Possibly both.
If you can do both at the same time that's great multitasking
somebody was yeah that'd be great let's just open a word document like all right somebody
once told me her moist quiver mounds in the moonlight okay we got the first part done
first paragraph's almost done we got it it. I guarantee if I wrote a book
and that was all that was in it,
people would still probably buy it
just for the meme.
People would.
If you made a book called
Moist Mounds Quiver in Moonlight
and just sold it,
I think people would buy that book.
I know I would.
I'd be your first sale.
Yeah.
So...
Moist mouth.
What a terrible, terrible phrase.
What a completely awful phrase.
Also,
Jesus.
I love plot twists.
Oh my God, the Warbreaker, Brandon Sanderson.
It's got some spicy plot twists.
Apparently Brandon Sanderson just loves his plot twists.
I love that about him.
It's like so many things and you're reading the book,
and you're like, I can't wait for this to happen.
And then it flips you upside down.
You're just like, what the shit?
It's great.
So I love me some good plot twists.
Well, a good plot twist requires a good setup. So you've got to learn how to write good setups.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm doing.
All right. It's all about I'm doing. All right.
All right.
It's all about learning.
Progress.
All right.
And then just actually doing it.
Sure.
So let me tell you about some other fun stuff that happened this week.
Okay.
I got an endoscopy.
Oh, boy.
That sounds so good.
Actually, you know what?
It's not bad.
The hard one is the colonoscopy because you've got to drink that stuff and then you shit yourself for a day.
That's awful.
Yeah, but the endoscopy, you just don't eat after midnight.
And then you show up and then they're like, did you eat anything?
And you're like, no.
And then they're like, all right.
And then they give you IV.
And then they're like, all right, here we go.
And then they give you IV and they're like alright here we go and then they wheel you in and the anesthesiologist
came in
and he was like hey
he was literally this like 60 year old
Italian man with like rings and a necklace
he's like hey
you need to know anything about
you got any questions I'm like nah I've had this before
like 5 years ago and he's like alright sweet
he like walked away
and uh that was it ago and he's like all right sweet he like walked away and uh that was
it huh yeah all right and i was like all right and then i got wheeled in uh and then they're like
all right we're getting you ready and then you lay on your side and they put a thing in your mouth
so you don't bite yourself uh bite your tongue when you're asleep and uh the gastro dude's there
and he's like yo we're gonna check out your stomach and your small intestine.
And I'm like, alright, sweet.
And then before you know it, you're just waking up.
Alright, question.
Question.
Did you have pain afterwards? Did it feel weird?
No.
I had...
I felt fine and then I streamed for like
four hours.
And then my throat was kind of sore, but that was more...
It probably wouldn't have been sore if I didn't have that done,
but I think I just irritated a bit, and then the next day I was fine.
So it was like nothing.
All right.
Okay.
And so it's easy.
Then you just wake up, and they're like,
here's some juice and crackers, and you're like, nom, nom, nom.
You did such a good job here's juice and quack and then uh the gastro dude comes in and he's like yo we looked around and uh
you look you look good in there except you got a small hiatal hernia
is that what he said about you yeah what. What does that mean? What's a hiatal hernia?
What's a hiatal hernia?
There's multiple types of hiatal hernias.
Some are more severe than others, but the one I had is like a sliding hiatal hernia,
and it's like really small, so they said it's like nothing to worry about.
What does that mean?
You can have surgery.
So it's when your stomach pushes up through your diaphragm.
Okay. So it's when your stomach pushes up through your diaphragm Okay
And apparently
Once you hit 50 years old
Like more than half the people that are over 50
Have one at least
I don't even know how that would happen
Yeah
How does that happen?
How does that occur?
I've never
Is it because you're like
I honestly don't know you like squeeze
your body so tight it like pushes stomach it could just be like posture it could be age muscles go
weaker i mean it'd be a lot of things there you go if you take a look at that one oh boy you're
making me look at this i'm about to grossed out uh so you can see you got the normal stuff, and then hiatal hernia, you got a little bit of like bloops.
Your stomach kind of pushes its way up past your diaphragm.
How does that work, though?
So like it's not, it's still your diaphragm,
but it's like your stomach too, your stomach acid?
Well, it's kind of like your diaphragm muscles might just be weak.
Oh, I see.
Yeah, no, I get it.
I get it.
Yeah, so it like your diaphragm.
I see that.
Oh, that's so weird.
Yeah.
Yeah, because it like pushes.
So then your sphincter gets pushed up too.
Yeah.
So it's.
But not your butt sphincter.
Your esophagus sphincter.
You got a lot of sphincters in your body, everybody.
Got a lot of sphincters.
So many sphincters.
So he was just like
yeah i mean pretty much if you like they don't really cause symptoms that much some people it
can cause more like acid reflux or gird or whatever and then you just take your heartburn
meds but like the only way they can fix it's like surgery and they only do that if it's like
really bad and like you need to get it corrected so i literally got out and then my mom was like
i have a hiatal hernia i was like ah neat and she's like and i think she's like and i think
your grandma has a hiatal hernia and i was like fantastic awesome so here's you're on the path
to living to 95 and in total pain that's what i said That's what it's all about. We just got, you know, a long life of pain.
It's in your family.
Every day is torture.
I don't got ulcers.
I don't got gastritis.
So I'm like, that's good.
So then the last couple days I've had coffee.
I felt all right.
Had my first glass of wine last night in three weeks.
That was nice.
I'm worried you're going to overdo it again.
Or you're like, I'm fine. And I'm worried you're going to overdo it again.
Or you're like, I'm fine.
And then next week you're going to be like,
I made a mistake.
I'm not eating any more Chipotle.
Good.
Smart choice.
I'll tell you that much.
Yeah.
And so, I mean, that's that.
They're just like, yeah.
So I'm happy it's nothing crazy. Well,, yeah. So I'm happy it's nothing crazy.
Well, that's good.
I'm happy it's nothing crazy, too.
They say you can help a hiatal hernia.
You can work at exercising.
Apparently, if you're overweight, you're also at a higher risk of hiatal hernias.
Why you got to do me like that, man?
Why you got to be like, oh, you are at risk too,
cocks. I'm just saying, I'm not even overweight like that one. I'm just over here
like trying to live my life
and not get hernias and you're like, by the way,
you could have that too. Thanks,
buddy. Thanks.
I'm just saying, I'm the lucky one to roll
the dice. I'm not even overweight like that one.
It's important
to know that you worry about
chain however if you're experiencing reflux due to hernia high intensity exercise makes
aspirate baits but they bait bait systems uh and then it says you can use stretches and exercise
to treat symptoms such as diaphragmatic for diaphragmatic breathing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, that's interesting.
That's one of the things that when I was in, by the way, this tells you what kind of scam theater classes are in college.
One of my theater classes was actually about learning to breathe.
Huh.
So it's like yoga.
Yeah. So we'd go to class
And we'd just be like
And we'd just stretch and breathe
And it was about learning to breathe
From like
In order to
I guess for singing
Or for
Like most people breathe
In the upper part of their chest
And they take like
Like shallow breaths
And
They're like
No no no you idiots You're using like One shallow breaths, and they're like, no, no, no, you idiots.
You're using, like, one-third of your lungs.
You got to, like, breathe, like, so you feel it in your chest.
Like, got to get down in it.
Oh, yeah.
Get down with the breath.
Yeah, you got to, like, feel your lungs expand in your chest.
So that's what we do, and they're like, now your blood's oxidated.
And I was like, great.
Ready. Ready. And so, yeah I'd leave that class all jacked
up because we just spent an hour just being like
and then I'd be like
I'm ready
and then you know I'd kill that off through the course
of the day but you know at the time
I could have done anything but they were like
no go to your science class now and I'm like
cool
yeah I mean it's I could have done anything. But they were like, no, go to your science class now. I'm like, cool.
Yeah, I mean, it's, oh, here it is.
They said it is estimated that 60% of adults have hiatal hernias by age 60.
I guess that explains all the, like, I'm old and I have acid reflux.
Yeah, pretty much.
And then they say the diaphragmatic breathing helps because you're strengthening the diaphragm,
so it's stronger, so it will be like, stomach, you're not coming up out of there.
And it's like, oh, jeez.
You better stop it, stomach.
And I guess that's the main thing.
So maybe I just got to practice my breathing, I I guess I feel like that's what you need to do
Is just practice your breathing
It'll relax you
It'll relax you
It'll relax you yeah if you're trying to prevent
Yourself from becoming Crandor
Practice your breathing
And then the other thing I've been doing
Is playing Pokemon Snap
I saw everyone's playing that right now.
It's so good. It's my favorite game so far
this year. What do you mean it's your favorite?
Like, how? Describe it. Ah, okay.
So, it's, uh,
if you don't know what Pokemon Snap
is, you hop in a little cart
and it's kind of like you're on a rail.
It's an on-rails shooter, but without murder.
Yes. So, instead of
murdering on a rail you're taking pictures
so you see like pokemon they jump out and you're like and you try to get the best picture you can
of all the pokemons and you got like it takes into account size uh the position the like what
they're doing like all these different factors into the picture and your goal is to just take
the best picture and there's like one two three and four stars of each pokemon and each one of those stars is a
different uh like thing that they can do so like if you throw an apple for the pokemon to eat
maybe it starts eating it and that's like a two star and then maybe if you hit it with the apple
it freaks out and flies away and then that's like a three star picture maybe the fourth is like you get to a new level and the the pokemon's doing some crazy shit like dancing around all right you
gotta like abuse the crap out of this pokemon to get a great picture even they're like don't worry
the the pokemon fruit doesn't hurt it and i'm like i don't know i threw it and it went oh they love it
it sounded like fans when you assault them you know know, they're like, don't worry, it doesn't hurt the Pokemon.
But again, I threw it at one and it went, ugh.
That doesn't sound like it did hurt it.
It was like a Pikachu went, ugh.
He lit a cigarette and he's like, Jesus, not again.
Ah, this is bullshit.
And so, I don't know.
It's fun because every level's got replayability, too.
Because you'll go through the level.
It takes like five minutes.
And then you're like, oh, I missed the dude that jumped into the water.
So then you go to get a picture of the guy jumping into the water.
But then this time, you miss something else.
You're like, oh, my God, there's something over there I've got to get a picture of.
And then you see something fly by.
And you're like, all right, I know at this point something's going to fly by.
So you've got to be ready and get a picture of that. And then you're like, you're like all right i know at this point something's gonna fly by so you gotta be ready to get a picture of that and then you're
like all right and then you move on to the next world and it's just oh my god it's so much and i
love it there's so many different worlds and different things it's like a 100 crendor game
i believe that i've watched i've watched people play and i'm curious how you go through photos Because I've watched people who are
Really
I guess anal
Is the right word
They're like this photo is
Not good enough I'm going to need to go
Get another and you're like
That's a pretty good photo
Are your photos just goofy photos how do you photo
Oh I just
I keep snapping I'm like that's pretty good
And I'm like whoa that one's pretty good And then when I keep snapping. I'm like, yeah, that's pretty good. And I'm like, whoa, that one's pretty good.
And then when I look at them, I'm like, all right, throw that one in.
That one's pretty good.
Throw that one in.
That one, eh, it's okay.
Throw it in anyway.
And I just wing it and hope for the best.
So essentially, like, my life.
That's how I've gotten at this point, really.
Yeah, wing it, hope for the best.
It's a good strategy.
Yeah.
So, I mean, yeah, so, it's my game of the year.
Probably until Mario Golf comes out.
That'll probably be my game of the year.
I'm loving it.
Pokemon Snap, recommend.
Sam, oh my god, of all people, I was like,
dude, I bet Sam's going to have fun playing.
He's like, I'm not playing Pokemon Snap.
I'm like, Sam, you play Pokemon randomizer shit all the time.
Why are you not playing?
He's like, Gabe, you don't do anything in.
I'm like, you just played the island where you sit around as a dinosaur doing nothing.
You can't say, Gabe, don't do anything in.
When you're doing more action, taking pictures of Pokemon,
than you are sitting on an island with dinosaurs where occasionally you try to bite one.
That is, you just described being a dinosaur in its entirety
You sit around as a dinosaur occasionally try to bite one as I'm saying or like survival games where all I does like mine
Shit, and then chop some wood and it's like
Producing a thing like he because he built a house. It's it's he did a thing. thing. I'm producing a photo album.
Same shit.
And I'm having more fun doing it.
There you go.
I highly recommend Pokemon Snap.

We have a giant hand with a face standing on our city gallery.
Okay.

Giant hand with a face.
I typed in Wellington, New Zealand, and the first picture is beautiful,

It looks gorgeous. Like, what a
beautiful looking city. Oh, I'm so mad.

like new zealand living price of housing in in new zealand, in Wellington, I'm seeing a lot of houses for sale.
They don't list the price,
which I feel like is a very New Zealand thing.
Is that like a New Zealand thing
where they don't tell you how much stuff costs?
But this house I'm looking at,
that thing is like a mansion.
I'm over here just like,
oh my God, hold on.
Well, New Zealand houses for sale sale what is the cost to live there
i'm not saying i want to move there but i do it's so beautiful i'm like thinking about it um
realestate.com come on oh it's actually it's realestate.com
wait dot nz oh that's a lot for me i'm already i have to change how i view
That's a lot for me I have to change how I view
What the hell
This house is like
This house has
Six garages how much is this house
Oh my god
They don't even say
I mean if you got six garages
They're probably like checking your computer
To see if you can even afford
Alright so one bedroom and a newbedroom apartment in a new building is $404,000.
I see.
So all right.
That gives me some kind of idea of what's going on.
So there are expensive places.
All right.
All right.
All right.
So they're just as bad.
Housing prices are just as awful
One bedroom apartment, $404,000? That's bonkers
Although I do know people who
Bought a one bedroom for a million
And that's even worse
I don't know what's going on there
Yeah, I don't know what's going on in there
That's too much
That's way too much
Well, I will say
Wellington, New Zealand, you look beautiful
If I could live there, I will say, Wellington, New Zealand, you look beautiful.
If I could live there, I would. I also see someone else mentioned Guadalajara, Mexico, home of Tapatios.
So I was like, you want to go to Guadalajara, too?
I mean, I'll go.
Yeah, let's go to Guadalajara, too.
I want to know about Tapatios.
Let's see.
I love Tapatio.
I do, too.
Maybe that's why my stomach's bad.
We got 87 in Guadalajara.
Looking like 29.98 inches of pressure.
You got 10-mile visibility, 22-mile-an-hour winds.
A bit windy.
2.5 UV2. Moon phase waning gibbous and the 10 day looks like you're hitting up 89 89 91 all
sunny nine day nine thursday nine day uh 90 friday 89 and then uh hitting the 80s with a lot of clouds. So, not too bad. But how do we see the Tapatio?
Tapatio. Tapatio Tours.
That's what I'm talking about.
Man. Oh, yeah.
Reviews.
I really enjoyed my time with Tapatio Tour.
Beautiful views.
Yeah, but what about Tapatios?
Yeah, we don't care about that.
Let's see.
Tapatiotour.com.mex.mx.
MapaCholoco gives it two stars and says,
The longest hour and a half of my life.
We wasted time seeing very little.
Do not recommend the city tour.
Oh, the Tapatio tours aren't tours of Tapatios.
They're just tours of the city called Tapatio tours.
I guess that does make more sense.
I'd rather go see.
Yeah, I want them to like.
Where's the Tapatio factory tour?
I got it.
Tapatio factory tour.
Come on.
There's got to be a factory tour.
Nope, there isn't.
I'm trying to buy like, now this is a
Tapatio I've been seeing for a long
time. It is the original red
Tapatio. I would love to go in the factory.
You know if you go in that factory, you're going to come out smelling like
hot sauce for eight weeks.
Hell yeah. You're going to be like,
oh yeah.
Oh hell yeah. I'm still saying, Tapatio Doritos are the best Doritos.
Agreed.
Hands down.
100% agreed.
Hell yeah.

Time
NFL draft happened
A lot of crazy NFL draft things
Whole bunch of rookies
Getting drafted Fun time NFL Draft happened. A lot of crazy NFL Draft things. A whole bunch of rookies getting drafted.
It was a fun time.
Loved me some NFL Draft.
I actually streamed the first round of it with all the football guys I do podcasts with.
What was the most surprising draft?
Most surprising draft, the Bears got a quarterback that I didn't expect to follow.
They got Justin Fields out of Ohio State.
And then the Patriots essentially got their Tom Brady Jr. and Mac Jones.
Kind of a douchey guy, so he's already hateable and has a similar play style.
So Patriots trying to recreate Darth Vader, essentially.
Nice.
And then a whole bunch of Packer rumors of Aaron Rodgers wanting to leave or retire,
go host Jeopardy and stuff.
So that was fun.
So overall, wacky weekend for the NFL.
Over in the NBA, we've got the 76ers and the Nets and the Bucks up at the top.
Over in the West, you've got the Jazz, the Suns, the Nuggets, and the Clippers
as the playoffs are closing in over in hockey.
Playoffs also closing in over there.
You got the Hurricane, the Lightning, and the Panthers atop of the Central.
You got the Penguins, the Capitals, the Island islanders and the bruins up there in the east
you got motorcycles zooming by you got i don't know if anyone heard it on my end but i had a
motorcycle just two seconds before your motorcycle drove by that's the fastest motorcycle rider ever
that guy got from me to you in two seconds oh my god that's like light speed motorcycling That guy was like
He was probably trying to find the top of Theo Factory
Yeah of course
The west you got the Golden Knights
The Avalanche, the Wild
And the north you got the Maple Leafs
The Oilers and the Jets
And the Canadians up there
And the
Baseball again
There's still

There is the League of Pigs.
I'm sorry, what?
This is where
pigs race, and it's all on YouTube.
There you go.
It's called the League of Pigs.
I love this already.

And you just skim through, and you can see.
There's a new video every day.
And you just skim through and you can see.
There's a new video every day.
And you can see these pigs are, they are flying.
Pepper Sanchez changed the game when she shocked all the pigs and won season three.
Oh my God.
I love that.
The comments are amazing.
No one can deny that Hoshi is a true water baby.
I think they... The best part is the response is,
I think in season three they mentioned Hoshi
is from the coastal regions of Japan.
So there you go.
There's lore and backstory,
and people are really getting into it.
Oh my god.
Yeah, you guys watch.
Look at him go.
This is great.
This is very cute.
Yeah, I like the pig racing.
At the end, they get to eat food.
Yeah.
At the end, they get to eat food.
It's great.
You know, there's already be someone like,
the pigs should not be racing.
They look like they're having fun.
All right.
One pig that just won that race I was looking at,
look at that pig was having the time of her life.
Yeah.
All right, let's not have another Monkey Mondays.
Yeah, this is why we can't have Monkey Mondays.
Y'all ruined it for us.
Yeah.
That's sports.
All right, Crandall, what's our big news story of the day?
Our big news story of the day is that you missed the fact of the day
Yeah, alright, yeah
One day, you're gonna remember
Uh-huh, one day
Today's fact
Many feet bones don't harden until you're an adult
What?
That's right
Feet are a normal
Is that why people's feet look all weird?
Probably You know what I mean? Like, most people's feet look all weird? Probably.
You know what I mean?
Most people's feet are messed up.
There are a lot of messed up feet.
That's what I'm saying.
There's a lot of messed up feet.
Feet are enormously complex parts of the body.
Each foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, and 19 muscles,
which work together to allow for a huge range of motion and movements.
But many of those bones remain cartilage throughout a person's childhood,
slowly ossifying into bone as the years go on.
According to the Ontario Society of Chiropodists, all of the bones in the foot don't completely harden until about 21 years old.
I'm sorry, hold on, time out.
What was that?
What was that name?
The old
Kyropotus.
Sounds like a terrible Greek
hero, right?
Like, I bought this.
Oh, God, I clicked it. Now they got a bunch of foot
facts. I don't know if I want
to be here. Foot facts!
I don't know if I want to be here. Foot facts. I don't know if I want to be here.
You don't want to do foot facts.
No, I don't.
Foot facts.
But we will do one foot fact.
Foot facts.
Let's see.
The Chinese tradition of the binding the feet of women lasted for 1,000 years from early 10th century until it was outlawed in 1912. There you go.
There you go.
Also, it's rare the two feet are exactly the same.
Boom.
Footbags.
That's the fact of the day.
That's lovely. That's so lovely yep all right what is our big news story today florida woman survives being hit by flying turtle
i have a lot of questions but it's also a funny headline i'm in let. Let's do this. I'm ready. Quote, I swear to God, this lady
has the worst luck of anything.
The woman's daughter told the 911
operator.
Daytona Beach.
It's not unusual for rocks and other debris to
crash through a windshield and injure a driver
or passenger. But a turtle?
A 71-year-old
woman. But a turtle?
But a turtle?
71-year-old woman riding with her daughter on Florida's Interstate 95
suffered a gashed forehead Wednesday
when a turtle smashed through the windshield of their car, striking her.
How?
How?
I don't know.
The daughter pulled over and got help from another motorist.
According to 911 recording, both were surprised by what they found.
There's a turtle in there,
the man can be overheard saying.
A turtle, the daughter exclaimed.
An actual turtle?
The gash drew a lot of blood,
but the woman was not seriously hurt.
The turtle was likely crossing the interstate
and got knocked into the air by another vehicle.
I swear to God, this lady's got the worst luck of anything, daughter told the 911 operator.
She tended to the injured mother.
The turtle, on the other hand, had the best luck of anything.
It had just a few scratches on its shell and was released back into the nearby woods.
Let's just take a moment to realize that turtles are prepared to attack us at any moment.
That turtle is like, yeah, yeah,
