Hello, everybody, it's time for Ghost on Trendom. This is Trendom in the morning. In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. Hello everybody, welcome back to another episode of Cacks and Crandall in the morning! Hey. Hi. Hello. Oh, hello.

Oh, hi. It sounded like you just walked into the room. Like, oh, hi, hello. You didn't know that I was here. You weren't expecting me. Hey, it's you. Come, I got here before you. Didn't expect to see you here? You weren't expecting me. Hey, it's you. It's come. I got here before you. I didn't expect to see you here.

How's it going? Oh, we planned on meeting here. I just got here early. So why you wouldn't expect to see me here is strange. Yeah, that's weird. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know.

It's a nice... Did you forget? No, I didn't forget. I wouldn't forget. Oh, okay. It's great nice... Did you forget? No, I didn't forget. I wouldn't forget. Oh, okay. It's great weather. Great weather we're having. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't know because I've been here waiting for you for days, actually.

Oh. Yeah, that's... What was that like? Well, boring, for one. Oh, like magazines or something? No, this is just an empty room you said meet me in this empty room and i did and you didn't come for days and i didn't know when you were gonna get here and didn't want to leave because then what if you showed up so i just

sort of sat here yeah i think anyone was actually gonna show up to the empty room and just sit here you invited me why wouldn't i why wouldn't I do that I wouldn't do it well obviously you just got here I feel like we're doing something like Saturday Night Live improv for training like a bit like hey that was a good bit good job everybody alright yeah high five good job yeah what's going on? Nothing. Today, just to give an example of how joyous my life is. Today, I met the boys for some brunch. It was delicious.

We went to this place that's kind of like, as usual, up near everyone else but me. Right. So I drove over there. And the place is It's very nice It was pretty packed They finally lifted all the different Restrictions here in LA

So people are actually going out to do stuff And it's like a restaurant on the corner Of a pretty busy What? Pretty bitty A pretty bitty Damn That's a pretty bitty. A pretty bitty.

Damn, that's a pretty bitty corner right there. On a pretty busy corner of L.A. where they, again, L.A. is not known for its metro systems. But this corner is where there is a massive bus stop area plus also a metro train station. And it's all like above, you know, on sky trains or whatever the hell. It's above you. It's on lifted tracks. And so this area, they just recently built this in the last, I don't know, five years. And that whole area is like popping off.

It has all these restaurants and all these great places there. And so they wanted to meet there. And I was like, sure. There's plenty of parking. There's a lot of parking. So I just went to one of the parking garages, went and had this great brunch with the boys, left, went to my car, paid the $18 is what they charged me to park there by the way and that's ridiculous yeah it was

they're like oh yeah no it's 15 every 15 minutes I'm like what do you mean like yeah we charge you by every 15 minutes I know I was like get out of town but it's $18 for the day I was like okay so it's $18 parking is what you're telling me anyway

I um paid my 18 bucks too much money but whatever I was like, okay, so it's $18 parking is what you're telling me. Anyway, I pay my $18. Too much money, but whatever. I go to leave, pull up to the exit, put my card in, and it scans, and it's like, license mismatch. What the hell? So it pops out the little card thing it gave me. And I look at it and it says I paid the money, so I put it back in. It goes, license mismatched. Like, what the hell?

Thankfully, there's no one else in this garage with me, so I back up a little bit. And I see a security guy, and I wave, and he's sitting there in his little security vehicle. I assume texting or something i'm like hey can you help me this thing's not letting me out says there's a license mismatch he's like oh this happened before uh do you have the same license plate what yes of course i have it's my same license plate as when i pulled it he's like no, no, no, no. Is your front one different from your back one? Why would that ever be the case? He's like, oh, last time this guy pulled in, his front one was from New Jersey.

His back one's from California. Like, why would anyone do that? That guy's an idiot. And he's like, oh, no, you're telling me. Hold on. Let me look. And he gets up. Dude is, I don't know 85 maybe

gets up wearing his like security outfit wanders over looks at my license plate in the front wanders over looks at my license plate in the back it goes you're right it is the same Yes Of course it is the same He's got like an old dog with him That's like 40 years old He's got like a flashlight even though it's daylight He's like He definitely had a flashlight by the way It was 2pm

Sunlight is pouring in He was using a flashlight Yes, very much The trope is real And he's like well have you tried putting it again i'm like yes when i put it in he's like all right uh there's another exit like okay so i back up thankfully again no one's there i back up drive all the way to the other side of the parking garage and i get to that one put the card in in, and it's like, license mismatch.

I'm like, what? What? So at this point, I'm agitated because all I want to do is go home. Yep. Anyway, I sit there trying to get it in. It's a license mismatch. Pull it out. Put it back in.

License mismatch. And the guy, i hear him because he apparently followed me pulled up it's like have you tried wiping it on your shirt what so i take it's just like one of those pieces of paper they give you for a ticket to say like you parked there so i wipe that ticket a piece of paper on my shirt put it in license mismatch i'm like oh my god okay so he's like all right all right hold on presses the help button on the the machine and a phone starts ringing and that woman picks up and she's like hello like hi uh i'm trying to use this pass that i paid 18 for in order to exit the parking garage.

And it's not letting me exit. And she's like, now did you pay for it? I'm like, I did pay for it. She's like, okay, please hold. And then I literally hear it hang up. And the guy looks at me and he's like, I guess we'll wait and see what she says. And it's going, meh. Like the dial tone of her hanging up.

And he's like, all right, well, I'm going to park my whatever that is. I was about to say car, but not like his golf cart. Yeah, because I'm going to park my cart behind you so people don't try to get in line behind you. And so then, of course, the car immediately pulls up. And he's, like, talking to him. And I can hear everything he's saying. He's like, yeah, this guy can't figure out how to exit. So this guy's kind of dumb.

This guy's an idiot. This guy, I don't know what's wrong with him. He just doesn't want to get out of his parking garage. So here I am sitting there. This guy's roasting me to some stranger. I'm like, oh, my God. Meanwhile, the tone is still going. I'm like, should I call them again?

Maybe he knows something I don't. Maybe they're really on the line still. Ten minutes goes by, and he finally comes up again. He's like, so, did she say anything? I'm like, I think she hung up, dude. And he's like, okay, let me try it again. He presses the call button. This time another woman picks up and she's like, hello?

Like, hey, yeah, I paid 18 bucks to get out of this parking garage. I put in my ticket. It's not letting me out. It keeps saying there's a license mismatch. I don't know what to do. It's not a license mismatch. If anything, it looks like the ticket just failed to record my license when I initially pulled in. What's the ticket number?

I'm like, okay, here's the ticket number. She's like, okay, and what's the last four of the credit card? And I give her the last four, and she's like, all right. Opens it instantly. I was like, shut up. Must have spent 20 minutes in there. I was like, come on have spent 20 minutes in there I was like come on are you kidding me and the guy looks at me and he's like

honestly that wasn't so bad we should have done that to begin with and I was like oh my god and then I drove off and I hope to never go back there again man that is that was a journey. It was certainly a journey.

I was like, come on. Are you kidding me? Meanwhile, the dumb thing is, is everyone else, this place was on, again, on a corner of like a very happening section of the city. And there are many parking garages. And there's a parking garage that I know and have been in numerous times. But I thought, oh, well, this one's closer so it'll be, like, easier. Nah. Nah.

Should've just gone to the one I normally go to. That was stupid. Yeah, you made the goof that one. Everyone went, like, probably had a great day. They went off on their day and had a whole thing and I sat in a parking garage with an old man who was like i don't know what's going on here oh let me check your license plates

honest to god thought i was just dumb he was like hold on let me no no it really it really is the same license plates. I was like, what? Yeah. If he would have come back and said that my front plate and my back plate were different, I would have lost my mind. I'm like, what do you mean? You always have crazy parking stories. LA is a nightmare when it comes to parking. Everything about this town is insane.

I'm telling you, every time I parked on the street, something terrible has happened. Every time I, unless you have a parking spot assigned to you, it is 50-50 chance whether you come out in your car is fine. That's just a fact. The other day I saw, I, uh, thankfully, God, it might've been Friday. Thankfully, uh, I had my actual parking spot. But when I left the gated area of the work, rent, whatever space that we're in, the office area, I pulled down to the street. And the place where I normally park, there was a car there. And the car had another car's license and fender smashed up under one of its wheels. So someone hit the car, pulled back, and drove off. And just left their license in with the front bumper.

So I guess we'll figure out who that was. Sounds crazy. I mean, like, I guess we'll figure out who that was. Yeah. This town's crazy. I've been doing some stuff. Elden Ring. Ah, yes. Well, I see that you're on an adventure. Yep.

I am now nine and a half hours into my no combat playthrough. How is that going? It's going fantastic. I have discovered a giant portion of the map and then through the help of chat I'm trying to just literally never kill anything tooth a I've swung my arms twice once to get a guy out of the ground and another time, I didn't even, actually, I didn't even swing. It was a mob went in an

elevator with me and died. Because it got crushed by the elevator. That happens. Yeah. So those are the only things I've killed, I'm pretty sure. But yeah, I've not, I haven't killed anything. Like, you know, I haven't, like, equipped a weapon. So you're still technically level 1?

No, I'm level 26, 7. How'd that happen? So you can still get runes from selling stuff, and you get runes from skulls on the ground. So I just ride around, I pick up literally everything I find, and then I sell it, and then I use that to level up. I mean, that's not too shabby. Yeah.

And now. I can't believe you can pull that off while, I don't know, not being attacked. Yeah. That's right around my horoscope. It's great. Well, so you haven't experienced the inside of anything then? No, I've still gone through some dungeons, got to bosses, but I can't fight the bosses. Except there is one.

This was like with the powerful help of chat. They're like, all right, this boss is possible for you to not fight. And I was like, let's do it. So I had to go get some stuff. I'm not going to spoil anything for people that are playing do it so i had to go get some stuff i'm not gonna like spoil anything for people that are playing it still i had to go get some stuff i had to do a thing had to go down a thing had to do another thing and i had to go back to a thing and like run through this giant castle and then i got to the point and they're like all right this is where you do it and then i did like a test run of the boss fight.

And I was like, oh, my God, this is going to take longer than usual, but I can do this. So it's possible I'm going to beat a boss without fighting. Here's what I've learned from watching Octo play. I have no point of reference for how hard bosses are. That man has broken the game. He is. It's so gross. It's so gross to watch him play because like last night, for example, he was running around.

He randomly found a giant tree castle place. No clue where this was. Everyone's like, oh, this is an an optional area That was his entire night I think it was like 6 hours Of him wandering this place I was blown away by the scale of it But anyway at the very very end He comes across this room And everyone's like oh my god

In chat everyone's freaking out Apparently this is the hardest boss in the game The hardest Because when it hits you, whether you block or whatever It steals life Ah, I see And it's two phases So you have to beat the long ass

Just live through it It's healing itself phase And then the second phase is like it does a shit ton of damage So I was just like, okay I need to look this up Is this really as hard? So as I'm Googling the, like, details of this boss, dude beats it. I was like, shut up.

He beat phase one. I was like, no way. And then phase two, it took him, I don't know, six or seven tries. But the man, I was like, is this really hardest? And all these videos were like the top ten hardest bosses. And it was always number one. And as I was watching a video of a guy being like, this is why it's so incredibly hard. I watched the man beat it.

I was like, shut up. hard at the i watched the man beat it i was like shut up and he just he has found a i don't know if intelligence or is i don't know if it's busted or what but he he's he has 80 intelligence at the moment and he goes into combat either with a magical sword that swings magical waves of energy at people that like do 50% of their life or he has a staff that he just goes, he has two abilities I've only ever seen him use and it's hilarious. The initial starting ability that is literally just like a pea shoe that's like pew, pew, pew, does a ton of damage or he got this ability that flings rocks at them, and the rock damage is so high it's broken because I guess it's a magic ability that does physical damage. So it is all these.

I've watched him fight dragons where the dragon shows up, and the music gets really loud, and it's like, I am Gorgasmoth, destroyer of worlds. And he goes under their belly and just goes, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock. All right, i'll take the loot i'm like get out of here you've broken this game it is mind-blowing to watch i can't stop watching because nothing seems difficult like he'll die because he's trying to like run

through an area and not fight anyone yeah and then he'll just get like shot by an arrow for no damn reason and he'll die but like when he is intent on fighting he's just there was one fight where he cloned himself made a mimic of himself and then both of them just started doing this aoe conal blast of you know like an ice cone in front of them and they just pinned a boss in the corner it was like cone cone cone the boss died i was like that thing didn't even fight back. Oh, it's busted. I can't stop watching. I think there's some weapons that are probably busted

and some that aren't, or like some specs. So I think if you want it to be harder, you can like just choose to not use those. I know plenty of, I know like, I think Benji, I was watching him play, he's more into like the lore and like the challenge. So he doesn't really do that much. But like watching him play is what made me want to just run around. So'm like listen i don't want to fight in this game i'm not bad or i'm not good at combat right i don't even for people like oh

this is so easy i would still get destroyed so i'm like agreed yeah i'm like i'm just gonna run around like and that's that's what i've been doing. Then it just became a thing where I'm like, I wonder how far I can get without fighting anything. People come in the stream, they're just like, wow, this guy really isn't fighting anything. I'm like, no. They're just like, what if you just go kill the little bug for loot? I'm like, no.

I'm not going to do that. That would be fighting something. The dude, he's just rolling his little ball. I'm not going to go that. That would be fighting something. And the dude, he's just rolling his little ball. I'm not going to go interrupt what he's doing. Yeah, that little dung beetle, he's just rolling his little poo ball. He's just living his life. Yeah. So, no, I'm loving it.

It's been fun. It's like its own challenge in a way. And on top of that, you get to explore everything. So it's been fun. It's beautiful is what it is. Yeah. Everything about it, as you explore and see different things, it definitely has that feel of, oh my, what is that? I need to find out. I'm it is. Yeah. Everything about it, as you explore and see different things, it definitely has that feel of, oh my, what is that? I need to find out.

I'm going there. Yeah. That's what I love about it. I get to see everything. And then so even if I don't fight anything, people will be like, oh, I got to this area. I'll be like, oh, I know where that is. That's where I ran around the dragon. That's where I ran around the castle and get through. There's like this one thing.

that's why right around the castle i get through there's the one there's like this one thing i was like in the mines and i was like i should have died maybe like 10 times but i just kept like sneaking past it and dodging it and they're like oh my god he's making gamer moves dude he's making gamer moves you are a gamer you do make gamer moves don't let anyone tell you otherwise 100 so yeah i'm excited to see if I can beat this boss. That'll be like the highlight of my entire game playthrough or whatever. I was talking with Gerard today, and he

said that one of the bosses that he fought, you know how there are notes everywhere, right? Yeah. Apparently there were a bunch of notes that went off like around the corner from where the boss's fog door thing was and he was like huh so we followed him and they kept leading him to like a weird jumping puzzle thing and it jumped him up around the door into the boss's room the boss was just standing

there t-posing so we killed him he got the loot i was like shut up oh. So, you know, any way you can win. That's how you do it. That's how you do it. That's pretty great. Yeah. That's what I love. It's like Breath of the Wild, but, you know, it's like a hard mode Breath of the Wild because it's got that, everything's like physics and everything. So you could just like do some busted weird stuff and it works.

And I think that's the most fun is seeing all the weird busted stuff that happens. Yeah. And just trying to like figure things out. One of the things I noticed is that a lot of the time many puzzles are not, well, how do I brain solve this? Most of the time it's like, okay, if I can get up on top of this cliff and then jump down to the rooftop, I can run across the roofs and i don't have to find anything and i can get the treasure that's like up in that tower i'm like that is brilliant is that how it's supposed to be played everyone's like dude there is no how it's supposed to be played i'm like oh yeah that's that's why i love it too so it's it's been fantastic been enjoying that. I wanted to also bring up a few things I wrote down here.

Uh-oh. So last week, I think it was like last Sunday, we ate dinner. I was just like flipping through YouTube. And then I was like, something came up with like a kookaburra, you know, with like the kookaburra and the gum tree, that song. I am aware, a kookaburra, you know? With, like, the kookaburra and the gum tree, that song. I am aware of a kookaburra, yes. And then I was like, oh, yeah, a kookaburra song. And then Toaster One was like, wait, the kookaburra song.

And I was like, you haven't heard that. You got to hear the kookaburra song. And then I tried to find it, but it was just some, like, dumb, like, modern version. And I was like, this isn't it. So I had to go to Barney. And Barney had the top-tier kookaburra song. All right? But then. Barney? Yeah, Barney. Theney had the top tier kookaburra song all right but then Barney yeah Barney the dinosaur the dinosaur yeah and then I was like I haven't watched Barney since I was like four years old and then I was like I wonder if I remember any of it so then I started what we

watched like the old ass episode of Barney and I was like this shows show is like 80% songs. But they're like kid songs. But I realized that a lot of these songs almost feel like they could be Oktoberfest songs. I'm ready for this. I'm ready for where this is going. So there's one song. It was like, look through the window. And he's like, look through the window. And he's like, look through the window and who do I see?

It's Michael. It's Michael. Looking back at me. And I was like, if you add a tuba to this and like, just like a, hey,

and everybody drinks after he says looking back at me, this is 100% just a drinking song. You are absolutely correct. The way you sang sang that even i can hear the like the glasses clinking together yeah they had like but instead of a tuba they used like a flute and i was like nah you don't use a flute here use a tuba all right 100 tuba and so that was one of them there's also some other songs they weren't as powerful of oktoberfest songs but like that was the main one that There's also some other songs. They weren't as powerful of Oktoberfest songs,

but that was the main one that got me. And then I did remember a few things where I was like, oh my God, I remember that being a thing in my four-year-old brain. I mean, I think Barney gets a bad rap. People make fun of Barney all the time. It wasn't a bad show. They just sang a bunch of songs. Yeah, no, Barney's great. It's just a bunch of songs yeah no barney's great it's just you know

weird but it's great it's a little weird but like there's plenty of stuff that's weird now look at all the shows on now oh yeah once you once you get past gulla gulla island anything's possible that's true that was gulla gulla island was just like eff it let's get wild they did get that was one of the first shows i think i saw on nickelodeon when i got cable yo gaba gaba once that existed there are no rules just right yeah no that was there's some top tier i like when there was like real life puppet costume things now everything's just it's all, digitalized. I don't like that. Oh, my God. Speaking of, I was on Reddit last night, and I think it was, like, one of the trending posts. There was a topic that was, like, as a parent, what is one of the things you hate most about raising your kids?

I was like, oh, I gotta see what this says. And the number one thing was I hate having to watch Ryan's World. I was like, what the hell is Ryan's World? Why do I know that name? So I went to YouTube

and looked up Ryan's World. I believe it's that kid that we've talked about forever that unboxed toys and made a bajillion dollars. I mean, his parents probably made a bajillion dollars. But he has all the... Dude has cartoon shows, and he has vlog shows. And so, of course, the first thing I click on, because I was like, oh, I wonder what this show's about.

The entire show was advertising Ryan's World toys and I was like oh my god I get why a parent would lose their mind this is perfectly designed to sell children things and drive parents crazy because he's like

oh man I'm making my new sand sculpture oops I spilled sand everywhere. Looks like I need my Ryan's World vacuum cleaner. And it's clearly a vacuum cleaner toy. But he's using it in the video to vacuum up the sand on the ground. I can't tell if it's actually working or just spreading the sand around. But I know they're not selling a high-powered vacuum to kids.

So whatever it is, it is just, like, slowly sucking up the sand around. But I know they're not selling a high-powered vacuum to kids. So whatever it is, it is just like slowly sucking up the sand. And he keeps rubbing the sand on the hardwood floor. And then he keeps trying to vacuum the table. And it just, I keep thinking, oh my God, he is literally just teaching kids to like get a crappy vacuum and then ruin their parents' home. And I was like, if I was a parent, I would have lost my mind looking at this.

I'm like, no. I would say we're not watching Ryan's World. It's a scam. And then I teach the kid about scams. I can't believe it. And I went back and was like, has this kid always been popular? His first video was like 50 million views. First video.

I was just like, I can't deal with with this And then I think it's his mom Who does a lot of co-starring with him And I'm just like This is I clearly don't understand the internet Because it looks like just cheesy lame homemade videos Of like a dude and his mom And I'm like how does this have like 85 million views

How? How is this possible? And then I think back to that I think we might have covered it on this show a while ago where there's like parents will just put on time out the mother of Ryan

Kaji I guess he says name seven who are in 22 million dollars last year yes is a convicted criminal who was jailed for I can't say his name, Seven, who earned $22 million last year. Yes. Is a convicted criminal who was jailed for shoplifting. You know what? People can change, Crandor. People can change.

Maybe she had to shoplift because they had to feed themselves in the beginning, and now she has $22 million. Maybe. Maybe. It's possible, but. Maybe. maybe you gotta look for the good in people and not the part about them shoplifting it's just uh it seems pretty scummy to have your kid be like doing all this there is a lot of pushback on um this channel and many other channels about how most of it seems to be the

parents coaching the children and teaching like making the children do this because they're making all the money not the kids yeah there's a lot of pushback on that and that's in the reddit post there was a lot of people being like i can't stand it because it's just this parent exploiting their kid but like i don't know we don't know the background of that. That's just people being, like, you know, petty and catty. So, I mean, I don't know. But I do know that if I was a parent and I had a kid watching, like, an entire playlist of that, I would go insane. I would go insane.

I wouldn't allow it. We're not watching Ryan's world. We're going to watch Barney. All right? We're going gonna like it that would just be the kid line to not watch barney and i'd be watching barney singing songs just like we're watching we're watching barney for some reason that's your child i want to watch the youtubes we We're watching Barney and you're going to like it. Oh, but purple dinosaurs aren't real, Papa.

In fact, dinosaurs had feathers. Where'd you learn that nonsense? From YouTube. That's lying. That Ryan kid's lying to you to sell you a bird. Get out of here. Yeah, pretty much. Oh, yeah.

And then we watched the Nickelodeon game shows, because then that reminded me of the game shows that used to be on Nickelodeon. We watched Double Dare. Remember Double Dare? Great show. Yeah, great show. It was funny. What was his name?

Mark? Yeah, there was Mark Summers. Mark Summers. Mark Summers. Yeah, and then they had doubled their 2000, which was like they tried to reinvent it. Nah, you can't reinvent that shit. But it's always funny because there's like a family doing it, and then they have like the kid trying to do it,

but the kid would always be the worst at the thing. So he's like trying to catch these giant popcorn kernels in a big bucket as it shoots out of a cannon thing. And they're like, you can't cross that line. And he kept crossing the line. And they're like, you can't cross that line! But then the popcorn machine wasn't even shooting him past the line. I'm like, just let him go past the line.

If you're not able to shoot him that far. I mean, was the family shooting the popcorn? Who was shooting the popcorn? No, just the show. Oh, well. It sucks. Yeah I mean what's the family shooting the popcorn Who was shooting the popcorn No just the show Oh well It sucks Yeah that was stupid And then there was figure it out

That was a great show You ever see figure it out Yeah figure it out I don't remember figure it out I remember you can't do that on television Or was it you can't say that on television One of the two The one where they'd slime

them. They'd be like, hey Jennifer. They'd open the locker. Like, what do you call a man who farts in sign language? Boy, I hope I don't know where that joke's going. I don't know where that joke's going.

And they'd be like, I don't know what. And then slime would hit him in the face. I do not remember that show. Oh, man. It was very 90s. That was. Just like Mark Summers, very 90s. So the show aired from 1979 to 1990.

So that explains why I didn't see it. Because I went off the air when I was one. 1990. So that would explain why I didn't see it. Because I went off the air when I was one. And then Figure It Out was 1997. So I would have been like eight. I don't remember. Figure It Out.

Yeah. And they had like a bunch of panelists and they would get slime. They'd try to figure out what this kid would do. So a kid would come out and be like, I eat popsicles all day or something, and then they'd have to figure out what the kid did, and at the end of the show, he would demonstrate. So the one I watched was a kid raised ferrets or rescued ferrets.

And the other kid was like a black belt or a brown belt in karate or something. Oh, this was the... So there's very similar shows to this that are for adults, especially British shows. And this is just the Nickelodeon version where they brought on Nick Stars to guess what the person did. Gotcha. Yeah. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I definitely didn't watch this because this I can tell I didn't watch this because in 97 I was I think I was just entering high school. So I was like, no, I'm trying to get laid. Yeah. Yeah.

The age difference. The age difference here. I was like, no, no, no. I don't give a damn It's like I know many Strangely enough I know many People in my life who used to be Nickelodeon celebrities

And I don't recognize any of them as celebrities Because I never once watched I was like too old I realize that I have a strong contingent of friends That are like 32 And I'm like yeah no, no, no, no. You're still, you're like way too young for me. I don't know what you did or why you did it.

Don't care. Well, that's why it's weird because like, probably brought it up before, like the older you get, everybody else just is younger, but you used to be that age. So then when you're 32 you're like ah yeah 28 yeah i remember that was young and then you get to like 42 and you're like ah 32 yeah i remember and then you get to like 80 and you're like oh 74 yeah i remember being 74 it's a good time i watched a video of a mom who was like 85 i I think it was, I don't know where it was.

It was like in a subway maybe. Mom was like 85 giving a piece of candy to like her 67-year-old daughter. And I was like, God, that is trippy. That's trippy to me. That is trippy. She's like, here you go. And she's like, here you go. And then the other old lady's like, thank you, Mama.

I'm like, oh, my God. That's mind blowing. Yeah, I don't know. I like the I watched all those shows as a kid. I like the game shows. I like. Well, I mean, I obviously love the cartoons, but they feels like now all the Nickelodeon shows are just like Disney Channel style sitcoms with like actual kids. Now I got to look.

Nickelodeon full episodes. What's on Nickelodeon right now? Danger Force. No, I'm good. So they still got SpongeBob. I see SpongeBob. Yeah, I see Danger Force. Don't know what that is.

Patrick Star Show. That's just SpongeBob. I see SpongeBob. Yeah, I see Danger Voice. Don't know what that is. Patrick Star Show. That's just SpongeBob. In fact, yeah, they have like three branches of SpongeBob. It's their own show. Yeah, Camp Coral. They have so much SpongeBob. Warped. Don't know what that is.

That Girl Lele. Yeah, I watched Twitch Bounty for that one. Did you? Great stuff. Great stuff. Amazing. The Loud House. Fairly Odd Parents.

Which I guess is a live action Fairly Odd Parents, which is already weird to me. Oh, that is weird, yeah. That girl JoJo I see everywhere. It's a pony. Alvin and the Chipmunks. Alvin definitely looks like he's trying to fuck. What is this? What? No, dude. Click on Alvin and the Chipmunks? Alvin definitely looks like he's trying to fuck. What is this? What?

No, dude. Click on Alvin and the Chipmunks. This sucks. What is this? That looks like a boy that just has a weird piece of hair strip going down to his nose. That is really weird, yeah. This sucks. Who decided this is how?

What is? This is so weird. They're not even like chipmunks. They're just people. With their chipmunk-esque hair. Bagdasarian Productions. Who is Bagdasarian Productions? Who made this garbage?

This is... Animation Company. Oh, I don't like this. I don't like this. And they got Rugrats in that same style. It's like creepy 3D... Like Unity Engine. I don't know what this is.

Oh my... This is weird. What? I hate this. This sucks. Yeah. Bagdasarian Productions is an American production company founded by Ross Bagdasarian Sr., also known as David Saville.

David Saville. The company holds all the rights to Alvin and the Chipmunks. Oh, what the hell? The company is currently owned and operated by Ross Bagdasarian Jr. and Janice Carman. This is... And all they do is make Alvin and the Chipmunks stuff. What? That's it.

That's all they make is they own the rights to Alvin and the Chipmunks. is they own the rights to Alvin and the Chipmunks. And so they have all the rights to the original Alvin and the Chipmunks TV show on CBS from 1961 to 1962. They have the Alvin and the Chipmunks 1983 to 1990 NBC shows. And they have Alvin and the Chipmunks 2015 to present from Nickelodeon. 111 episodes and the Chipmunks don't look like chipmunks? I can't do this. I can't do this.

Yeah, this is... What happened? What happened? It's just... Here's the thing. Looking at all these shows, years from now, you know how they're like,

I want to watch reruns of Rugrats or Spongebob or Hey Arnold or the classics. Right? That sounds like such an old thing to say too. Back in my day. But is anybody going to be like, oh man, I want to go back and watch Alvin and the Chipmunks.

I can't figure out how you can own the rights To Alvin and the Chipmunks and just make them look like Chibi kids Yes I'm looking at a clip and it's very clear that they're just In like high school They're just chipmunks in high school but instead of being like

They're like hobbits Instead of chipmunks Yeah They're like just little tiny people I'm outraged by this I can't figure out what the hell i'm looking at yeah i don't i don't like this i don't like this and it's dumb i mean we've gotten full old man like i don't like it i don't like it and it's dumb. The thing is, like, I wouldn't even mind if there was, like, new shows that looked, like, good. Like, some of these, they're, like, with animation, right, where they're, like, actually animating it by hand and stuff.

Usually it was better because they just, people put effort into it. Like, the worst part about these is it feels like they just ran it through a computer. Like, pump this shit out to the kids. They'll watch it. Like, that's what it feels like. Give me the classics, like Corey in the House. You know, a staple. Horry in the House?

Corey in the House. Corey in the House is different. Horry in the House is a whole other show. Yeah, no. We're looking for Corey. One of the best animes of our lifetime. I'm looking for Horry in the house. Horry, what are you doing?

Not on the kitchen table, Horry. I eat there. The canned Nickelodeon laughter in the background. That's that. Yes, it is. All right. You know what else is that's that. Yes, it is. All right. You know what else is that's that? What?

Alright, Crandall, let's go to traffic Let's go to traffic Oh boy, traffic Is pretty wild, but I wanted to take this Segment to talk about root beer candies I recently I recently had some root beer candies Again, after not having them in a long time

And they do indeed taste like root beer, but they were not the ones shaped like the little root beer barrels, which is a little disappointing. Back to you. What were they shaped like? They were just shaped like normal round candies. That sucks. Yeah, no.

Root beer candies, you're only allowed to have them in barrel shape and or bottle shape. Yeah. Yeah. Any other candy that's root beer flavored trash get it out of here yeah get it out of here uh it was you know i mean the first two ingredients were like cane sugar and corn syrup so it was like it was like double the sugar but they were like all right all right put, cane sugar's in. Still not sweet enough. All right, crank it up to syrup. Put the cheap sugar in.

There we go. No one can tell the difference. Just dump it in. They're right. Still good. Still tastes like root beer. Yes. All right.

Let's go to weather. Weather time. weather weather time we're going to uh chan hassan minnesota home of ec and car i'm sorry what i don't know what that is what did you just say it says Chanhassen Minnesota Minnesota home of Eck and Carr you can't just keep saying it

throughout the week. So yeah, cold and cloudy. Alright. What's going on in sports? Sports. Sports. We've got a lot of sports happening. So

if you didn't know, the Paralympics actually started and they even have curling. Dude, I'm going to the Paralympics actually started. And they even have curling. Dude, I'm going to watch Paralympic curling like 100%. That's cool. When did it start? It started like two days ago. So it was pretty recent.

They go for another week. They even had their own opening ceremony and everything. And you remember how the panda was the last one? Yes. Now it's a big lantern head guy. Is it also in Japanapan or uh it's in china lantern head here look at him uh the beijing 2022 paralympics yeah see here he is this is the lantern head guy oh jesus i just i don't even know what i just said to you I do I do see the lantern head guy

He's hanging out with the The panda With the panda Yeah I like the lantern head guy Can I tell you Both of them Great mascots Unlike that shitty Chicago bull

That guy sucks Grendor Sucks I disagree. Still great. Nope. These guys are so cute. These guys are like, you can, it looks like you can squish them. That's the kind of mascot we need. Squishable. My mascot

shouldn't be physically fit. That's all I'm saying. Mascots shouldn't be able to like flex on you. It's not cool. That's true. They could probably beat you up, those mascots. Yeah, I need mascots that are cute, like these two.

Well, in the NBA, we've got the Heat at the top of the East with the 76ers, Bucks, and Bulls up there, and then the Celtics, Cavaliers, Raptors, Hornets. In the West, we've got the Suns, the Grizzlies, the Warriors, the Jazz, the Mavericks, the Nuggets, the Timberwolves, and the Clippers. All up there as we close in on the end of the season. Only got like two, three weeks left for NBA. I think it's three weeks or something. Then in NHL standings, we got the Panthers at the top with the lightning right behind. We got the Hurricanes up the top.

We got the Avalanche way up at the top. And then we got the Flames with the Kings right behind. As I believe the NHL usually is about the same time as basketball. So usually when those playoffs start, the basketball playoffs start as well. So that should be a good time over in both those sports right there. And baseball is supposed to be starting around now, but they've been in a lockout, and so it hasn't. What is our fact of the day?

Fact of the day. Fact of the day. Fact of the day. It's like a terrible alarm. Let's see. We've got, for 100 years, maps have shown an island that doesn't exist. To this day? Uh-oh. Almost.

Well, we're going to find out. Okay. Almost nothing is known about Sandy Island, a landmass about the size of Manhattan in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Australia. Supposedly, explorer James Cook discovered it in 1774 and it began appearing on nautical maps in 1908. It wasn't until 2012 when a team of Australian scientists set out to survey the island and they discovered there was no island there at all. Alright, so clearly there are two different... Because there's... When you type in Sandy Island, you are given what appears to be a tourist destination of like a sand barge kind of like tinky, probably sex club in the middle of nowhere. Right.

Yeah, it's interesting. The actual Sandy Island is proven not to exist via satellite imagery. How did it take so long for this to – you're absolutely right. This is all recent. Yeah. This is actually pretty wild. Nobody knew this island didn't exist. It just seems weird to me that we would for years be like, no, it's definitely

there. You said it's there. It's gotta be. It's seen on numerous maps and article charts. Nautical charts. That's right. I'm from Boston now. Even Google Earth has captured the popular image. How did Google Earth capture it? I don't know.

But a team of geologists traveling by ship through the area discovered it wasn't there. That's so weird. So how did Google Earth capture it, though? What? I don't know. I guess it. Maybe it was there.

And I don't know. I don't know. These things work on Google Earth. There straight up is a... Like, there's like a blob there of where it would be. Huh. Huh. That is fascinating.

Yeah, it straight up doesn't exist anymore. Although, although... Google Maps is hiding Phantom Island that disappeared in 2012. Oh. Yes, well, there we go. There it is. How can it possibly be around since 74 and not be around now? Ah, there's the conspiracies.

Perfect. Perfect. Man, that is interesting that's crazy all right back to the day look at that wow let's get to our big news story of the day big news story of the day we got two of them they're smaller okay i always love when we got two choices. No, we're just doing both. Okay. All right. We're starting with Guinness declares massive Israeli strawberry as world's heaviest. I love the idea of like, I'm in the Guinness Book of World Records. Oh, for what? Heaviest strawberry.

It's a weird statement. When did it become a thing? Like, I grew the biggest fruit, biggest vegetable? Probably America. I'm sure we had something to do with it. I grew the biggest pumpkin, and I got it out of the Guinness Book of World Records. Okay, cool, cool. And then just branched out into the world.

Or it was just, you know, we just stole it somehow. I mean, we can and will yeah or the british did uh 100 because they can't grow anything so they just stole the biggest strawberries and took them back uh after a year-long jam a mammoth israeli strawberry is entering the record books. Weighing a whopping 289 grams, 10.19 ounces more than a half a pound, the Titanic berry this week was declared the world's largest by the Guinness World Record books. It doesn't look good, though. You know, like, I expect it to look like a badass strawberry, and it just doesn't. It just looks old and sad.

I feel like that strawberry sometimes. And moldy. Oh, man. Yeah. We waited for a year for the results, Ariel said. We kept it in the freezer for a year. It's no longer as pretty as it was. The supersized strawberry is a local variety called

Lan. Lan tends to grow to a hefty size. The record-setting specimen has shrunk to about half the size it was the year before. Previous record holder for the heaviest strawberry was a Japanese fruit grown in 2015 in Fukuoka

that tipped the scales of 8.8 ounces to 150 grams. The weight turned out to be fruitful, Ariel said. He jumped up and down. No, get out of town. He jumped up and down and... Wait. He jumped up and down in his car

laughing and singing when he got the news. We're very happy to be in the Guinness World Records. At least he's happy yeah i mean you know you earned it yeah i guess um and then we've got this story also involving food okay customers accuse las vegas restaurant of selling thc painted thai food how crendor how THC tainted Thai food. How? Crandor, how? Although, it sounds amazing, but how? Well, more than 30 people who ate at a Thai restaurant in Vegas this year have reported getting sick.

Health officials are investigating what led up to what they called an unusual illness. Patrons of the Secret of Siam restaurant located on Centennial Center Boulevard reported increased heart rates, blurred vision, disorientation, loss of consciousness, and numbness or tingling within hours of being at the restaurant. Loss of consciousness? What the hell kind of weed was in this? That is a crazy weed. Damn, they got dosed.

Wow. A phone number for the restaurant, which has been closed since earlier this month, rang unanswered. The health district is asking anyone who ate there in January or February to take a survey on the website. Vegas police have also fielded some reports of illness. Restaurant opened in 2019 and consistently passed inspection, they reported. Some customers have told local news outlets they suspected their food was tainted with THC, the compound in cannabis

that produces the high sensation after seeking medical attention and testing positive for it i can't even i but like what how maybe they just uh they were cooking and they're like use that the the oil and then he thought it was the THC oil, and accidentally used the THC oil they were using for after work. But, like, the amount of oil involved, if they just dumped a bunch of THC, that's like $1,000. Well, yeah, they're probably upset about it. They're probably like, ah, I dumped all my weed oil into the food.

We got to serve this that would explain why uh everyone there almost just passed out right there if you're i can only imagine oh yeah the the amount of thc needed if you just be like oh oh i'm gonna take a nap right here. Okay, goodnight everybody. I can't. Wow, that is ludicrous. Okay. Yeah, and those are your big news stories of the day. Alright, well that's it for us.
