Hey.
Whoa, hi.
Hello.
Hey.
Hey.
How are you?
How are you a-ing?
Doing alright.
How are you doing?
I know you just had an experience, so I was going to let you rant.
Oh my god, I got a rant built up in me.
So, while I was waiting for you watching the Bulls
I said to myself, Jesse
This is the perfect time, you got literally nothing to do
You've been wanting to get some stuff done
In your vidya games, go vidya game
And I was like, perfect, perfect, perfect time
A perfect time for this
I got an hour to kill
I can get a Final Fantasy XIV
Alliance raid done in an hour
Easy, not even a stressful situation.
Those are super simple.
Crandor?
Oh my god.
Alright.
Let me preface this by saying, I know that by ranting about this, I'm the bad guy.
I'm aware of this.
I know this is an unwittable rant.
I am not about to make friends with this rant.
However, we get into... unwinnable rant i am not about to make friends with this rant however we begin to so the way
an alliance raid works in final fantasy 14 is there are three groups of eight and in each group
of eight there are two healers right and so and my group of eight it was myself i'm leveling a
healer right now and another person very first, that person dies instantly. First attack.
Like, before the fight even starts, dead.
So I'm like, okay.
Res them back up.
Instantly dead again.
I'm like, what?
I can't solo heal this man.
I'm not a good healer.
I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
Like, I'm struggling.
I'm like, oh my god.
So, I resurrect them again.
Back into the fight.
Immediately killed again.
They are clearly very bad at this. I resurrect them again. Back into the fight. Immediately killed again. They are clearly very bad at this.
I resurrect them again.
Nothing.
They do not get up.
So I'm like, okay.
Well, I used the res, so I just got to fight the fight.
Trying to keep everyone alive.
Trying to keep people alive.
Meanwhile, my party is like standing in fire.
Basically, like getting knocked off edges.
We are group C and we are basically group F because we suck.
Every one of my group is dying.
The other two groups, I guarantee you're like, you guys need help because you are not having it.
We could not hang in there at all.
And we were doing what used to be the previous hardest raid until the most current one.
So it seems like, you know, all right, people should know what to do at this point. Nah, my group was fresh. Let me
tell you, dude, we were the new guys and we were bad. And so I'm trying my hardest to
keep everyone alive. People going down left and right. And I finally just messaged like,
please to this person's name. I can't remember the name now, but please get up.
I need you to help heal.
Another person in my raid's like, bro,
calm the hell down. She's dealing with
the baby right now.
I was like, what?
So immediately I knew if I said
anything else,
I'm the bad guy.
I cannot win. Right away
I know, one, everyone in this
group, probably this person's friend.
Two, this person
has an out now.
Baby problems.
Three, if I say anything,
I'm that piece of shit on the internet.
So I just shut up and was like,
okay. So
I make my, like, do the first boss solo healing.
We go on to, like, fight some trash.
And the second boss, still not up.
Still not has gotten up.
Finally, after the second boss, this person comes back like, sorry.
My baby was being crazy and really cranky and throwing a temper tantrum.
And I had to go deal with that.
I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Thank you so much.
I'm like, all right.
You know what?
Moment is past.
And I think it's just going to be easier.
But, Crandor, I was wrong because I forgot.
Just like everyone else in this group,
that person doesn't know how to play.
So every fight from that point on, dead.
What made it even worse is now, because they're back, I have to actually keep wasting mana resurrecting them.
So I'm constantly out of mana as this person's constantly dead.
Everyone in the group is yelling at me to heal as I'm like, I'm trying to heal you!
I'm losing my mind as this person's dead.
Everyone in the group keeps dying. I am out of mana.
And I finally was just like, I'm just not going to resurrect that person.
I'm just done.
I'm just done healing this person back to life.
So I spend the rest of the raid only focusing on everyone else but this person.
And so the group is just getting more and more mad at me.
And I'm like, if you want me to heal you i like i can't it's an unwinnable situation
i cannot win this i am the bad guy no matter what and if i say anything like you know maybe
this was the wrong time for you as a group to join this raid right so then we get to the last boss
she's like hold on everyone afk 15 minutes krendor i messaged you uh hey hold on, everyone. AFK. 15 minutes, Crandor. I messaged you.
Hey, hold on.
I said, I'm in the raid with the worst party in history.
It's almost over.
That was 637.
And then you said, is it over?
And I said, last boss at 653.
That's how long we waited around for this person to get back.
Dude, if this was any other time in the history of times
This person would have been booted
But because this person was a friend with everyone else in the group
They were just like
We're waiting everybody
We're waiting
Everyone we're waiting
Oh my god
I almost
Like I was ready to like
I hope someone spits in your denny's
I sat there
Didn't say a damn thing.
Said nothing.
Said nothing to anyone.
I was the politest person.
And the entire time they're yelling at me like,
we're not even healing.
I'm like, I have to keep the tank alive.
The tank is taking like half of his life in damage every single time
because he doesn't move out of the way.
I'm just like, oh, Crandor.
Crandor, I, oh my God. Crandor. Oh, my God.
I've never been so.
I stuck with it.
I've managed to stay in every single raid or anything I've done in Final Fantasy 14.
But let me tell you, this would have been the night.
I was ready to go.
I was like, F these people.
I don't care if I take a penalty.
F them.
F everyone in this group.
Oh, I was mad.
Oh, I was raging. Oh, I was raging.
Dude, I can't.
I couldn't.
There's nothing I can say.
What am I going to do?
Hate on a parent?
I can't hate on a parent.
I can't hate on a kid.
I can't hate on a game.
I can't do it.
It was unwinnable.
All I can do is rant into the void and just be like,
why?
Why did this happen to me?
Like that.
That's all i can do it
sucks i mean that's just the video game experience you're gonna get that wherever you go oh i know
man that's why i like single player games i only gotta worry about me i don't gotta worry about
like other people's lives yeah that's true i true. I mean, listen, I've been that person
numerous times where I'm just
like, yo, be right back, guys, and then
I go make, like, a sandwich.
So I can't even bash
this person.
Yeah, but do you do it in a raid?
I mean, yeah,
I did. Oh, whatever, man.
F you. F you, too.
You're worse than a baby you at
least have common sense exactly but I
was hungry I can't afford stomach that's
gonna hurt my that's a you problem I
would go for doing the least amount of
damage to the least amount of damage
still why am I yeah but here's the thing
you were never a healer though, right?
I was back in the day.
And you did this back in the day as a healer?
You know, there was a time
where I went
and ate dinner
and I put someone on
I followed somebody
and then
It was 40 man raids, alright?
I was like, ah, they won't notice.
Then my character
went AFK and they did notice.
Dude.
I'm so...
I realize I ran
to the wrong person. I realize now that
you
don't know what my pain is.
You don't know what I'm going through right now.
Because you are that guy.
Well, I've had that happen in League of Legends.
But usually you can vote, kick them out, and then remake the game.
Or the worst is if they come back and move their character so you can't vote kick,
and then they still lose the lane.
Well, it's the same thing with...
Normally a person like
that would have been like kicked out right but man they were all friends and my group i was the
odd man out in my group and so i'm sitting there trying to like keep it clearly was their first
time running this it was clear like i i needed to be more patient but i it's the reason why i don't
heal anymore it's the reason why I don't heal anymore.
It's the reason why I stopped healing in a while.
I have zero patience.
If I see someone goof and I know they goofed, I'm like, strike one.
You better not.
I'm not going to heal you again.
That's strike one.
Well, the thing is, I feel like certain games, it gets more toxic than others.
And the environment.
I mean, like, if you're in a, like, League of Legends,
like, I'm committed to that thing for, like, 30, 40 minutes.
But if it's, like, I don't know,
if it's, like, a WoW group or an MMO group or whatever,
I mean, you can kick somebody out or replace them.
But, like, that's what happens when you're, like,
playing with other people because they get their friends. So it's's like in league when you're on a team you're like the one and there's like four people on that team like if you do bad they're
gonna be like this idiot on our team's the bad one because usually people ignore their friends
they're like oh you know you made a mistake that's fine but then the the rando makes a mistake and
they're like hey rando pick up your slick not me i would know that it was you i'd be like krandor are you even playing like oh he's
probably afk when do i make a sandwich but at least you'd know you know like at least i would
know you are right you are correct um i just oh dude. I think it's about time respect.
Maybe that's why I got frustrated.
That's probably it.
Because it felt like I was wasting, like, I clearly just wanted to be done,
and we were in there clearly longer than we should have been,
and it was like, why are we doing this?
You should know better.
Y'all join this group, but you got, like, baby problems happening
while you're joining?
Like, just take your 15- minute break before you click accept.
That's all.
Ay yi yi.
Yeah.
So I was going to bring up a thing.
Uh oh.
Yes.
That you tweeted.
Uh oh.
Yes.
I tweet a lot.
I tweet a lot of things.
What have I tweeted?
You tweet a lot of things. do i tweet a lot of things
one of the things was a whatsapp scam
yes yes i did get a whatsapp scam uh bring it up right now yeah the whatsapp scam because you just
said got an obvious scam whatsapp are you jason yeah i get so on whatsapp i literally only have scam, WhatsApp. Are you Jason? Yeah, I get
so on WhatsApp, I
literally only have two
people I ever have communicated
with on WhatsApp. Dodger and
Julia Hardy. Two people I know who live
in the UK. That is it. In the
history of communicating with people,
that's the only people I've talked to on
WhatsApp ever. So anyone
else who messages me, I do not know them.
I don't know how they got my number on there.
I don't know anything about them.
So immediately I'm suspicious.
So already, if you hit me up on WhatsApp and I don't know you, you a scam already.
Anyway, this, out of nowhere, this has happened numerous times.
It's always an Asian woman in the image.
And it's always a number that I do not
recognize and it always starts
the same way. Hello, is
this Jason? I'm not sure if I have the wrong number.
This has happened too
many times for me to count. Always
hello, is this Jason? Every time.
They, like, every one of them
says you're Jason. Every single one.
Every single time, hello, is this
Jason? I think I might have had one where it said hello is this David
But yeah
It's pretty much the same thing
And every time I will say
Because I'm gullible as hell at first
I'll say no sorry wrong number
And then they'll hit you back
With something along the lines of
Oh I'm sorry about that
I was just trying to reach my friend Jason.
We met at this thing.
And they'll leave you a bunch of information.
So you can either say, oh, sorry, not me.
Or you can, if you're into the staged Asian girl photo that they've included, you can
hit them back or whatever.
And even one time where I was like, oh, sorry, yeah, no, it's not me.
All right, well, good luck contacting Jason.
They respond with, well, you know what?
You seem like a pretty nice guy.
Do you mind if I still talk to you?
And then they keep talking to you,
and then they try to scam you with something.
Oh, yeah.
And so I learned that the first time,
and every other time since, I just delete it.
Except this time, I said, you know what?
For Cox and Crandoror i'm going in nice nice this is our conversation um hello is this jason i'm not sure if i have the wrong number yo this is jason sup girl they responded you are Jason? No question mark
Actually they responded
You are Jason
Is what it was responded
And I responded
Yeah you the girl from the other night
Missed getting your whatsapp after we finished
I left as you noticed
Finished what? What did we finish?
Right so now I've left it completely open
And they responded
Jason?
I said yes, this is Jason.
Sup girl? Remember me?
You are
Jason?
Yes!
I am Jason. Come on girl
don't leave me hanging. We were good
together.
Response.
Jason?
Yes, I am Jason.
Hello?
Nothing for two days.
I respond.
Hello?
It's me, Jason.
I thought we had fun together.
Response.
Who is this? Hello, it's me, Jason. I thought we had fun together. Response.
Who is this?
And then nothing.
And then I didn't respond.
Man.
The worst part is they found Jason.
Yeah, they finally found Jason.
But they didn't know how to handle it. I think that's hilarious that they didn't know what to do with Jason.
They didn't know how to, like, wait, you are Jason?
They're so used to not having Jason be the one answering.
What's crazy is I was them, I just would have kept going.
Like, oh, hey, Jason, it's me, remember?
Jason can be like, I don't remember, and then you just lie. Like, oh, I was at. It's me. Remember? Like, that's – Jason can be like, I don't remember.
And then you just lie.
Like, oh, I was at this place that you were at.
Just lie.
Like, remember the other week or whatever at that party?
If Jason's like, no, I don't remember.
It's like, well, I remember you, Jason.
You were awesome.
Just like – that's just lazy scamming.
Just lazy.
They were like, oh, what do we do?
Imagine there's like eight dudes sitting around the phone just like oh
It says it's Jason. What do we do? I don't know I
Had I'd one of those scams
But it was like it called me like three times in a row and then like left the voicemail and they're just like hello
We are from the phone company and we're
calling to for your number transfer request and we got a response for your information uh call us
back and the callback number is like a completely different number they want you to call them back
at and i was like uh i was like well you know maybe they're maybe they're right. Maybe somebody is trying to, like, number transfer.
And then I went to the phone company.
I'm like, hey, did anybody put in a number transfer thing?
And they're like, no.
And I was like, all right, great.
Yeah, they're a little trickier, but it's, you know.
And then I looked up the number thing, and people are just like, this is scams.
They're scamming you.
Don't call them back.
I called them back and they're scammers.
Yeah, that's during the day.
Most of the messages I get are like, hello, this is John Smithman from the IRS calling
you about the money you owe for
your car.
If you want to get information about the
money you owe for your car,
call us back immediately
or you could face judgment
in a criminal court.
I'm like,
no.
The worst part is they all
must track you by, like, your local phone number.
Because my phone number is still from Ohio.
So I still have an Ohio area code.
And I know when I'm getting spam call because every single call that's a spam call comes from Ohio.
Every single time.
And I also, I guess what's even weirder is I have, I think the same number as someone named Hayden Chapman or Chapman Hayden. I assume it's Hayden Chapman because I keep getting messages about a building that they want to buy.
And they're like, is this Chapman Hayden?
It has to be Hayden Chapman.
Is this Chapman Hayden?
Would you like to go over information about the possible sale?
And then the list of the address.
Is this something you would want to think about?
And so I was like, okay, I need to, what is this?
Why do I keep getting text messages about this?
So I went online to do research because I thought, this has happened before with my email. I need to, what is this? Why do I keep getting text messages about this?
So I went online to do research because I thought,
this has happened before with my email,
it's like some idiot will subscribe me to like the Jesus Christ newsletter.
I'll get 800 emails about like find Jesus today.
I'm like, oh my God, I keep getting those messages. It's like we we've signed you up for lawn insurance. It's some weird shit. And I'm like, what is this? And then it's like, you have won AT&T's giveaway. I'm like, cool, I guess.
people just getting access to our email or if it's just companies trying to scam whatever the case may be this thing i look this up turns out chapman hayden or hayden chapman whoever this person is
apparently died and was the person who had the number before me and now everyone's trying to
contact the relatives or the person who is dead and buy the house of this dead person.
What?
Dude, it's, again, I don't know.
Maybe Chapman Hayden is the son or daughter of the person who died.
I don't know.
I just know that a death occurred and that's why the house is empty.
It's sitting, it's an empty house and people are trying to buy it and they're contacting me and I keep telling people to stop contacting me. And they're like, uh, do you have any property
for sale though? I'm like, why would, what? Like, oh, well, if you're not the right person,
do you have any property? I'm like, leave me alone. Stop. Dude. Every day from about 9am.
Actually, it starts before that, like 8am until about noon, I get bombarded with messages
that are just like hey do you have
a place you want to sell like leave me alone it's uh it's weird because like we're now at the point
where people are just so used to spam calls too like everybody gets a billion of them yeah i just
i just it says spam and i'm like ignore yeah and it shouldn't be the case at all
it's so disrespectful i hate i hate that nothing's being done about it i mean part of it's i don't
even think they can do anything like it's just there's so many that's like they're just throwing
a net into the ocean and they're just hoping they get like one or two back because they're like well
still fool somebody like if some lady got the one I just got, like someone's transferring my number and they call it back and they're just like, ma'am, we need your password.
And then she just gives it like, boom, they got their thing.
Yeah, I mean, it must work enough, right?
It must work on enough old people to like pull it off.
But honestly, I think it sometimes works on enough Old people to like pull it off but Honestly
I think it sometimes works on
Streamers and stuff as well like
I today for example was going
Through my email and I had a bunch of things
That were like we're from
This company and we would love to do a brand deal
With you click this link to see the brand
Deal
I'm like
I do not click Any links like yeah if you don't tell me on
even if they don't have a link like we'd like to work with you email us back I'm
like oh yeah I don't know you I don't care about you no yeah it's stupid it's uh stupid it's stupid dumb um what was the you know i brought up another one of your
tweets we'll really just go into your twitter for content here cool thanks so glad that's
that's what you're mining uh oh yeah you were just talking about liking somebody who doesn't like you back,
and then I thought it was the Cryptobot.
It is not the Cryptobot.
The Cryptobot loves me.
Cryptobots at least message you.
Although that one didn't.
Never mind.
That's true.
That one did not.
No, I was just – the worst part is Everyone's just like dude
It's alright bro
Actually there were two
Comments
One was dude it's alright you'll find someone bro
I believe in you and the other comment was like
Well if you weren't such a big freaking loser
Maybe you'd find love
If you lowered your standards and you dated
Another monster like yourself
Those are the only two responses I got.
Meanwhile, it wasn't even about me.
I was having a conversation where I was expressing the fact that universally,
every time I've ever had a conversation with anyone about being into a person
and then that person does not like you, it sucks.
And it doesn't matter who you are. It always sucks because for some reason you get it in your then that person like does not like you it sucks and it doesn't matter who you are it always sucks because
for some reason you get it in your head like
this is it this is love and the other person does
not have that feeling and like
I was just saying I even wrote in the tweet
it universally sucks I meant that as like
everyone can relate not like
my life is terrible and I am
like not at all but everyone's like bro
it'll be okay man you'll find someone like that's not at all. But everyone's like, bro, it'll be okay, man.
You'll find someone.
I'm like, that's not at all what I was talking about.
I was referring to just like generally it is a terrible feeling and everyone has experienced it and it does not change no matter what the age.
That's what I was trying to say.
And it was just like a tweet that I wanted to like, hey, it's okay.
It's all right, everybody.
Right. And I was like, you just got to suck it up and move on. a tweet that i would i wanted to like hey it's okay it's all right everybody right and i was
like you just gotta suck it up and move on that's like it wasn't a i'm so alone every day darkness
surrounds me wasn't that at all but like i said on the internet everything is like
over exaggerated so everyone's just like jesse it's all right bro you hang in there dude and
then yeah and then there were like three or four people that were just like, well, maybe if you weren't such a big fat loser, we find love, you idiot.
I was like, cool.
Thanks.
The best part was, is of course, when I clicked on them, they themselves were all giant losers.
And I was just like, of course, of course.
and I was just like of course look if you come
at me and call me a loser
and then I click your link and it's like
articles about Bionicle
guys I can't
I can't
it's like punching down I can't do it
I remember when I used to get really like
bad YouTube comments
Crandor sucks ass I hate this guy
and I'd click on their YouTube thing and see their like
favorites and their likes,
and I'm like, yeah, it checks out.
Yeah.
If it's a lot of like,
this is an anime dub I did with my three friends,
I'm like, cool, awesome.
Awesome.
Yeah, it's like, normally I'd come at you,
but I just, I'm over it.
The minute I see it's punching down,
I'm like, I can't do it.
I can't. This guy gets away with it today. I'm going it. Like, the minute I see it's punching down, I'm like, I can't do it. I can't.
This guy gets away with it today.
I'm going to let him get away.
Have fun.
You got me, my man.
And then this last, actually, this one, this was a response to me responding to Brett.
Because I thought this would be a good Cox and Crandor topic uh outside of just your
normal tweeting oh well of course which was Brett tweeted this thing and said one's gotta go they
had grits coffee hash browns sausages eggs and orange juice all right now I took a look at those
and I was like which one am I gonna get rid of and then I was like, which one am I going to get rid of?
And then I was like, well, it's got to be orange juice because, OK, here's the thing.
For me, orange juice is literally just is just sugar water.
Like there's like little bits of pulp in it, see a little bit of fiber, but really it's just sugar water.
It's a spike in your blood sugar and you already have coffee.
Right. So I don't need juice and coffee plus the orange juice is gonna. Give me heartburn
I get more heartburn from orange juice than coffee
So I don't need it
And what did I say exactly
You don't remember you said this like six hours. Oh, I'm aware
I just want you to say it because you already said what I said. Oh
You said I'm team no I just want you to say it because you already said what I said. Oh, you said, I'm team no OJ too.
Orange juice is just orange flavored sugar water.
Yeah, I agree completely.
I'm on your side 100%.
Oranges, awesome.
Orange slices, great.
Orange in like other things, lovely.
But orange juice is that
even people who are like,
yeah, but fresh squeezed though. It's still like
orange flavored sugar water.
Even if it's fresh squeezed,
the juice part of the orange
is the worst part of the orange.
And so
like, yeah.
Yeah, just eat an orange and you'll get
all the benefits of an orange
Yeah I mean coffee
I'm not going to get rid of coffee because I love coffee too much
Like that's staying there
Grits huge grit fan I'm angry at Brett for saying grits
I can't trust him anymore
Hash browns love them
Sausage honestly sausage is my number two
Get rid of
I'm not a big sausage fan
If it was bacon that's a different story
Sausage not a big fan not a sausage fan yeah you know sausage is like okay i could do without it
as well yeah like in my number one it would be like orange juice sausage get them out of there
i'd be fine i'd be totally okay um i think the big thing is there are many, many great smoothies you could drink or other things of that nature.
But really, like you'd be better off with tea for your breakfast.
Smoothies to me are still like too sugary.
I'm not a big smoothie person.
Smoothies?
Oh, so you got to get a smoothie that like has fruit but also like nuts and veggies in it as well.
Yeah, but I'd rather just eat them whole.
Yeah, I mean, look, I'm just saying if you're going to drink a thing.
All right.
Yeah, I mean, if you're going to drink something, I guess,
but, like, it still feels like it's just a different form of, like, sugar stuff.
I don't know.
Like, and then his hash browns, I'm not even a big hash brown person
They're okay
It depends
Honestly look I'm not lying
I could get by on like
Some pepper
Salt butter grits
And coffee and I could get by
I could do that I could live that life
I'm down in the south
For some reason eating my grits and
coffee i'd be fine i'd be a-okay that's all i need i mean i literally i have like two breakfasts i
make right now one is oatmeal with granola walnuts and like i have like some berries on the side
uh or sometimes i'll put like some raspberries or blueberries in the oatmeal. And then other times when I'm feeling a little fancy, I make my brioche bun, a sunny side up egg, and like two things of white cheddar.
And I put that on a bun.
I got some berries on the side still.
Yeah, I need that fruit.
All right.
I still put my fruit on the side.
I mean, I don't know that you need that fruit, but like.
Yeah, I need the fruit.
Okay.
And then you get that, and then I got my coffee, which is great.
And that's how I mix it up.
That's all right.
I mean, I got the, I'm currently rolling with, and this has unfortunately been my last few
days because spinach has a shelf life.
I bought a bunch of spinach, and I have feta cheese, and I have egg whites.
And I'm making an egg white, feta cheese, and spinach omelet.
Frondor.
It's delicious.
Spinach and feta in an omelet?
Always good.
Always a solid choice.
I like omelets.
I'm just bad at making omelets.
Here's the thing.
Most of my omelets turn out terrible.
Sometimes they just become scrambled eggs, but it's all right because you're at home, and who cares?
That's true.
If you cook it up, you're like, oh.
You're trying to impress nobody.
You're just trying to get it cooked and heated and on a plate, and that's all that matters.
Sometimes my omelet, I flip it, and it falls apart, and I'm like, well, scrambled eggs it is, and I just scramble it up.
And I still call them omelet because it's the thought that counts
yeah I mean that's a fair point I agree with that you know if you're like if you're cooking eggs
like sometimes I accidentally break the yolk and it starts oozing out and then you got that like
cooked yolk and I just like do it fast and I'm like whatever you know i'm gonna eat it anyway but i try to i try to make it so you get that sunny side up uh or over easy a lot of times
i'll do the over easy so you like you just flip it once for like 20 seconds and then when you
bite into it you get the like it all oozes out i mean yeah i guess i'm not a guess My big problem is
When I
I like my eggs not
Well if you're cooking an egg
Scrambled I don't want it runny
But if you're cooking an egg
Like sunny side up or whatever
I'm fine with a little run on top
That's fine
But like if it's scrambled
When I watched Gordon Ramsay make scrambled eggs
I was upset.
Because he's like, these are great
eggs. And he like
puts them on a plate and it oozes out. I'm like,
Gordon, those eggs are still trying to
hatch, my man.
He's like, these are
the most delicious scrambled eggs. I'm like, no,
bro, no. Those suck.
Gordon Ramsey, those are not good eggs. But I guess
it's like a British thing. Because when we were in the UK
One day my dad
And my mom went for breakfast
Before I woke up
I think I went out the night before
Trying to be like a cool dude in the UK
But my parents woke up
They went for breakfast
My dad ordered straight up the English breakfast
Hated it
And he was not a fan of the eggs
He was like these eggs
These eggs they're just so gross
I was like I'm telling you
I think it's like a British thing
They love their runny eggs not a fan
My eggs I almost want them a little burnt
If they're going to be scrambled
Give me some texture in my eggs
I don't know about that
I don't want them runny though, but I don't want them
burned. I just want the
right in between. No, fluffy.
I want them fluffy. I don't need fluff.
See, I'm not even a fan
of the Japanese egg thing
where they cut it and then it opens and runs everywhere.
I'm not a fan of that. I like that.
No, I don't like it. It's too much for me.
Yeah.
I can see how you wouldn't like the texture of it, really.
I'm not a big texture fan.
I can eat anything as long as it doesn't have a slimy texture.
Slimy texture is a no-go for me on anything.
But anything else, I'm down, which is why I can't do boba,
because boba has a weird slime to it.
There's a lot of seafood that has a weird slime to it when it's done like sushi style.
There's, yeah, there's all sorts of different things that I can't do.
But if it's, you know, crunchy or has a texture or has like at least like a tougher component, then I'm fine.
But slime, hell, even sometimes, you know how when people say,
when you brush your teeth, you should also brush your tongue to get rid of bad breath?
Sometimes while brushing my tongue, I will gag, like I'll gag on the toothpaste on my tongue.
I'm like, it's so gross.
Yeah.
So all I'm saying is I can't even do that.
So that's where we're at.
I know one texture I don't like is just like breaded,
like chicken stuff or breaded whatever.
I don't like that.
You don't like bread?
So you can't do like a schnitzel?
I mean, I can eat it, but I don't like bread so you can't do like a schnitzel? I mean I can eat it, but I don't like it
Like yeah like schnitzel or breaded chicken or breaded pork or breaded like the panko breadcrumb style like
I don't like it
Really? Bro?
You can't do like a like fried chicken?
I like fried chicken, but a lot of fried chicken isn't like that crumbly like texture
It's like a little more Oh I guess like baked like a like a baked like and I helped like that kind of chicken
Yeah, like if you go like Popeyes and you get like that chicken like that's fine or KFC like those are fine like those
Types of fried chickens or wherever you go
But like it's that it's the bread crumb like when it's all like crunched up and they roll it in the bread crumb and stuff
I'm like Really not a thing really is it because it's too dry it's like a little it might be too dry but
like it's there's like so many little it's like crunchy but like there's so many little breadcrumb
bits that are just like all i don't know there's something about all the little breadcrumb bits
like they're not conjoined together it's weird i guess i don't like it
yeah i don't know i'm looking at it again by the way people keep popping up on this damn thing
brett the funniest part is is the conversation has moved past brett unfortunately everyone is like
fighting in the conversations now yeah yeah i'm looking at it and here's the thing for me. Yeah. If I had to
pick, if I had to go from order of, of the things that I would get rid of first, orange juice,
then sausage, then hash browns, then eggs, then grits, then coffee. Uh, yeah. Coffee'd be last
Yeah, coffee would be the last.
Coffee is all – I couldn't – yesterday I had one cup of coffee in the morning,
and I was like, all right, I'm good to go.
I'm set.
Had no caffeine the rest of the day.
Tried to like water it the entire day.
I was like, water, baby.
We're going full water.
I'm going to have one of those cleanse days.
It's going to be great.
Around, I don't know, 8.30, I had the worst headache in the history of headaches. So bad.
Just terrible. But I was like, it's
8.30. I don't want to have caffeine now.
I'll be up all night and I got to be up in the morning
to do a bunch of stuff.
So I can't.
So instead I took two Tylenol
and then just was like,
alright, you know what? It's 9 o'clock.
I'm just going gonna go to bed
Just gonna like close my eyes and sleep it off
Around midnight I wake up
Throbbing head
My head was throbbing so much
That my heartbeat I could feel like
Boom boom as my heartbeat
I felt the beat in my head
And I was like ugh
And so I tried to put on music
And I tried to put on stuff to like drown out the sound
First start of music, the music was too loud
It took down all the way, did not work
Did not stop it
So I put on calm on this
Like a rain track
And nothing, that didn't work
And then I put on like a
Just a podcast that I listened to
Hoping that just the talking would keep me distracted
That didn't work So I turned it off, laid there in complete silence Just a podcast that I listened to, hoping that just the talking would keep me distracted.
That didn't work.
So I turned it off, laid there in complete silence for an hour.
Just like, why?
Why does it stop?
And then eventually fell asleep.
Woke up at, I think, 5 or 6 a.m.
Just still a mess.
Went to the bathroom, chugged water.
Just walked back to the bed, plopped down on it.
Thankfully, fell asleep again.
Woke up around 10 with like enough sleep that I felt good and I didn't have a headache anymore.
But oh my God, bro, I was, what a terrible night of sleep that was.
I woke up today, drank three cups of coffee.
I was like, not again.
No, thank you.
Back on the caffeine we go.
Yeah.
No, thanks.
That sucks.
I need at least one to two cups of coffee.
I can roll with one.
But, like, if I have zero, I'm not going cold turkey like that.
There's no way. Well, I didn't think about it.
What I realized is that usually during the day what will happen is I will have a coffee in the morning, come to the office, and while I'm doing stuff in the office, make a cup of coffee.
Then in the afternoon, when I'm waiting for stuff to render, do whatever, I'll walk over to the Starbucks, grab some Starbucks, walk my butt back.
So I've had, at this point, Two coffees and one Grande three shot espresso drink
In a day
That is a lot
You're going a little crazy there
So
That's technically in my mind
Three coffees
I think it's three coffees
But I realize now
That having in the afternoon
A grande Latte right but i realize now that having in the afternoon a like grande latte is a different
you know without that i didn't have that extra like to get over the hump so clearly around 8 30
was like jesse what's going on buddy i'm jones and man it was like it's fine body don't worry
and i it was bad It was bad news.
Okay, break it down again.
You got a grande latte. What else do you have?
A grande latte and two cups of coffee.
Okay, yeah.
The grande latte is essentially
a full cup of coffee.
I mean, I would say it's probably
more, it comes with two shots
of espresso in it, but
because I don't want a lot of milk,
I have them add a third shot of espresso, so it's less milk.
So there you go.
Let's see.
So it's 150 milligrams, and espresso shot 64.
So, yeah, you're getting like 210 milligrams of caffeine in that drink.
Yeah.
Great.
Love it.
That's probably less than an. Yeah, great. Love it. That's probably
less than an energy drink, though.
It is some energy drinks, I think.
Energy drink caffeine. Let's see.
What the shit?
Energy without caffeine? Get that out of here.
Yeah, no one
wants that. Let us have our drug.
It depends.
One is 74 milligrams,
72, Monster is 86, red bulls 111 uh right but they also
have things like ginseng and like other things added to it to give you a pep in your step
yeah but i think energy drinks are usually pretty bad for you. Right, right, right, right, right.
Which is why I have a coffee instead.
Oh, here we go.
Five-hour energy is 200 milligrams.
So by drinking that, you're essentially taking a five-hour energy.
Except I know what's in it.
Yes.
Oh, wait.
This one says monster per can is 160.
Well, see?
There you go.
I still am doing better, I'm doing better.
Normal cup of coffee, take an 8-ounce cup
of coffee is 95
milligrams on average.
So, I mean,
you're still drinking a lot of caffeine.
Well, yeah. I mean, I have an addiction.
It's evidenced by the fact
that I had a headache that lasted
all night.
Now, someone might say, Jesse, stop taking that much caffeine. the fact that I had a headache that lasted all night. Yeah.
Now, someone might say, Jesse, stop taking that much caffeine.
You're getting headaches.
What if you shut up and you let me
drink my caffeine?
What if you shut up and let me have my addiction?
I've been drinking
the same three things every day
for the last five years. Leave me alone.
Yeah.
Leave me alone. I need it
to live.
The big thing is you just gotta drink water, too.
I drink tons of water
during the day.
I have big,
giant containers of water.
I don't know how long ago
bought a bunch. You know how they have those at gas stations? The extra large containers of water. I don't know how long ago, but you know how they have those at gas stations,
the extra large containers of Fiji water?
I got one of those, and now I just fill it up constantly during the day.
And I have it with me always.
And if I don't have it with me, I have at the office here water as well.
And I can just like gulp, gulp, gulp.
Oh, yeah.
I'm a water machine. Big gulp gop oh yeah i'm a water machine big gulp water
yeah i'm a water machine um see i think that was all our stories for the week i think we covered

You want to know about traffic?
Let me tell you about traffic.
It's happening.
Traffic's all over.
There's traffic.
There's traffic right down below me.
I see some traffic on the map.
I see some traffic.
Really, just growing.
Just growing.
You know, traffic grows.
It's like a flower.
It's like a flower. It's like a plant.
It's like a bad bit on a podcast.
Back to you.
Thanks, Crandor.
I love that you have become obsessed with just the concept of traffic in a way that I never thought you would.
But here we are.
This many episodes later, you're just like, what is traffic, man? And I never thought you would. But here we are, this many episodes later, where you're just like,
what is traffic, man?
And I'm here for it.
When you do traffic for almost 10 years, you start wondering.
Yeah, right?
I get it.
I understand.
You start to wonder, like, what's it all mean, man?
Yeah, and I mean, at this point, we still don't know.
Whoa.
It is a mystery.
That's for sure.
Well, speaking of mysteries, let's go to the weather.
Weather.
Oh, by the way, before I weather, I want to bring up.
I almost forgot my story.
I was going to bring up real quick.
Okay.
So we went and got Mexican food on Thursday or something.
And we went to this local Mexican place.
And it was packed there.
So I was like, this place has got to be good.
This place has got to be good.
And it was. They had this lady rolls up with her guacamole cart.
And she's like, she literally, because they're like, do you want guacamole?
We're like, yeah.
And then they bring the cart over and they like make it fresh.
Like she just cuts open the avocado and like puts it in the bowl.
And she's like, what do you want in it?
And you're like, all right, I get like onion and tomato or whatever.
And she's like mixes all together and it's like, and then like puts it on the table.
And you're just like, whoa.
Damn.
Yeah. So we had that.
And then we got fajitas.
Toast Woman got steak fajitas.
And then I got shrimp fajitas.
Both very good.
We ate a bunch of fajitas.
I have a picture on my Twitter if you want to see it.
Yes, I'll go there right now.
Yeah, go there right now
And then we had
Margaritas, I think she had a mojito
And then a margarita
Is the avocado there? Because you got me really wanting
Avocado and guacamole now
It's there, you can see the bowl
See that bowl right there?
God, that's a huge thing of fajitas
That's what I'm saying
That's like a lot of fajita, bro
That is a thing of fajitas. That's what I'm saying. That's like a lot of fajita, bro.
Yeah.
That is a lot of fajitas.
Big stone bowls with the guacamole was in.
Then I had two margaritas.
You had a mojito and margarita.
And then by the end of it, they were like, you want dessert?
So we got churros.
Oh, man. And they had like the chocolate dipping sauce.
It's fantastic but then afterwards
uh i was so full and i had like an hour and a half or two hours of just being like
yeah and i was like i would like walk around i said like walk i was like my gird was not happy I just kept burping and being like
my food
was just at the top I was like why did I
eat the extra fajita
I should have just brought it home
why did I eat the churros
it was too much
you went too hard
I went too far
but
overall great time.
Love Mexican food.
I just wanted to bring that up.
Well, there you go.
There you go.
I love Mexican food.
All right.
Okay, Mexican food lover.
Yeah.
Bless.
But here's the thing.
When I get Mexican food, I just like fajitas.
That's like my main thing is like go-to is like fajitas.
It's like, you know, you got your vegetables, you got your meat, you put the meat on tortilla, you're good.
Right?
And it's like you're creating your own thing.
You got the guacamole, sour cream, whatever.
So that's like just my go-to wherever.
It's just like I'll get fajitas.
It's just like I'll get fajitas.
My go-to when I get like any type of Mexican is I will try to see if they have any like taco plate with a variety of tacos.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Like I want different things.
I don't want all one thing.
Like, you know, if they got like a three taco thing, I want to be like, yo, those three tacos all different tacos?
And they'll be like, maybe.
And I'll be like, well, maybe I want that.
That kind of thing.
Yeah, I see.
It's kind of like the, it's like they have beer tasting.
It's like you're doing the taco tasting.
Yeah. I'm a huge fan of all of that.
It's a big thing for me.
The more of that, the better.
I see.

What's the, Chennai
What's the
vibe in Chennai? It's clearly a
beach town, or at least
a city on a beach.
But all the shots of the beach, there's no one
on the beach.
It just, like,
there's a lot of photos of the beach.
I guess this one has people on it.
There was just a lot of photos of the beach, but no one on the beach.
And then there was like, there's a lot of beautiful temples.
Oh, wow.
That one's crazy.
Yeah.
There's a lot of beautiful, beautiful temples.
The artwork is amazing.
But there's also a lot of like, there's one temple that's like right on the waterfront.
I want to know, like, what's the vibe there?
What's the deal with Chennai?
What's going on there?
What's happening?
What's happening? What's happening?
Let's see.
Oh, yeah.
It's southeast India.
It's east of Bangalore.
Hey, this one looks cool.
There's all the lights in the city and it's all lit up.
Yeah.
It's very...
The architecture is beautiful.
I will say that.
But I know nothing of this city at all besides what i'm looking at
in photos right now but architecturally it's beautiful oh there's a chennai city tour on
youtube so if anyone curious about that it's just some guy talking over it i thought it would be
like you know they got those like walking through city videos yeah it's just a person walking that's
the good stuff that's the good stuff oh my god that reminds me
That's the good stuff.
That's the good stuff.
Oh, my God, that reminds me.
Oh, yes?
I thought you were just going to talk.
Yes?
Keep waiting for your response of, like, yes. All right, yeah.
No, I mean, like, it's fine.
That's cool.
Yes?
I thought you were just going to go.
I didn't know you wanted me to be like, go on.
Yes?
I'd love to hear.
Oh, if you insist so i was watching youtube on the television with the apple
tv and it starts like recommending you stuff right when you're on the home things now i've
discovered through the algorithm how people just start finding random weird videos uh and i was
like what is this and it had those like japan tour ones but it's like not where
they walk around the city it's where they stay on like a ferry or like on a train or at a hotel
and then they like review it and they're just like i'm gonna take this ferry overnight like
here's what it's like getting on the ferry here's my room on the ferry and then like let's go get
some food and like it's a vending machine and. Here's my room on the ferry. And then like, let's go get some food.
And it's a vending machine.
And then they're like, ah, I got three meals.
Then they like microwave them.
And they're like, it was pretty good.
Then they go back to their room.
And then they're like, ah, let's check out the things in this room.
And I just like watch those.
And they don't talk.
They just have like closed captioning.
So it will just be like, I am hungry.
Going to the vending machine.
So they just film themselves like walking to the vending machine.
And like hitting the buttons. And then being like, ah, I am hungry. Going to the vending machine. So they just film themselves walking to the vending machine and hitting the buttons.
And then being like, ah, I have gotten food.
I will make it.
And then they microwave it.
It's like, because you're seeing what it's like.
And then you're just like, chilling out. Just look up, like, Japan train tour?
Japan train
tour. Yeah, I'm on it. I'll find it.
So if you go to like...
Let's see, what is this?
See, it's like this type of thing. Here's one
called Kuga's Travel.
It's got 9 million views. Riding the
sleeper train in Japan on a
heavy snow day.
Like it's this type of thing. And if you just skim through it,
you'll see

That's the weather.
All right. Let's go to sports.
Sports. Sports. That's the weather. All right, let's go to sports. Sports.
Sports.
We've got sports.
Hockey is closing on the end of their season.
Closing in on, even.
Currently, if we take a look at the NHL standings,
we've got the conference standings.
We've got the Panthers, Maple Leafs, Hurricanes, Rangers, Lightning, Bruins, Penguins, Capitals all going to the playoffs.
And in the West, we got Avalanche, Blues, Flames, Wild going to the playoffs with the Oilers, Stars, Predators, Kings, Knights, Canucks, and Jets all fighting for playoff spots.
Although the Jets look like they're going to be out of it pretty soon.
although the Jets look like they're going to be out of it pretty soon.
So that's pretty neat.
Then over in the NBA, the playoffs have started.
Had some wild games.
The Bulls did not win, although it was close.
I thought they were going to get blown out, but they actually had a pretty good game.
Then the Celtics won it at the end against the Nets.
Heat destroyed the Atlanta Hawks, and the Warriors beat the Nuggets, and the 76ers beat the Raptors, and currently the Suns are beating the Pelicans by seven points.
We'll see how that ends.
And then baseball has began.
Well, it started a few weeks ago, but we're now about 10 games into the season.
You got the Mets at the top.
The Central is just a mashup of teams.
You got the Giants-Dodgers at the top, but Rocky's Padres right behind them.
You got the Blue Jays at the top.
You got the White Sox and the Angels.
And the NFL draft is coming up in just, I think, a week and a half.
So that's pretty neat.
That's sports.
There you go.
All right.
Let's talk fact of the day.
Fact of the day.
Uh-huh.
So I got a few facts today for Easter.
We got Easter facts.
Uh-oh.
Easter facts?
Easter facts.
First Easter fact.
The Easter bunny legend began
in Germany.
Okay, like, yeah,
alright, I'm ready for this. I don't understand,
is it chocolate related?
The origin of the Easter bunny
dates back hundreds of years, beginning in
pre-Christian Germany. Here, the hair
was said to be a symbol of the pagan
goddess of spring infertility. As Christianity
spread across Europe, pagan traditions
were blended with Christian holidays, which saw the
Easter Bunny lay a nest of colorful
today chocolate eggs for children who
were well-behaved on Easter Sunday.
Yeah, alright. I mean, most of
the stuff we celebrate
currently is
the church's
attempt to bring in various pagan peoples yeah
bold so like yeah it checks out yeah um but it's kind of fun we just like celebrate it nobody
really questions anything it's kind of like yeah yeah if you question it it loses its power
oh i feel it losing power already.
Oh, there you go.
Now you're an atheist.
It's too late.
Oh, geez.
Where's the other one I saw here?
The act of painting eggs originates from a Ukrainian tradition.
For countless generations, Ukrainians have been decorating eggs as a calling out to the gods and goddesses of health
and fertility. The traditional act
of Psy...
Wait.
Psyanka?
Or Pysanka?
It starts with a P? Is that what I'm getting from this?
It might.
It is made by using wax and dyes,
but this colorful custom didn't take off until
ukrainian immigrants came to the u.s i wonder who picked up like clearly companies picked up on like
there are companies their whole thing is easter egg coloring oh yeah so was it a company that
was run by like an old ukraine lady and then then she got bought by big-time Easter man.
And then that's why they keep...
It's very weird to me,
because it seems like it's a once...
You know how they have those egg-dying kits?
Oh, yeah.
It feels like a one-time-a-year kind of thing.
It does, yeah.
So it's weird.
So what does that company do the rest of the year?
What do they do the rest of the year?
I don't know.
Are they like the Spirit Halloween of Easter?
Maybe it's the same people maybe it is i like to think santa just runs all the holidays it makes it easier doesn't it it's just easy he's just up in the north pole he's like we'll run this
town absolutely run all the towns um and uh pretzels used to be associated with Easter.
When we think of Easter, chocolate, hot cross buns, and eggs spring to mind.
But did you know that pretzels were an Easter snack?
Pretzels are associated with Easter because the twists resemble arms crossing in prayer.
From the 1950s, it was tradition for Germans to eat pretzel and hard-boiled egg for dinner on Good Friday.
Hard-boiled egg and pretzel, huh?
Sounds good to me.
Bless.
You know what?
It doesn't sound bad.
That's for sure.
It sounds very dry, like you need beer to wash it down, but yeah.
That checks out, too.
They probably did have beer.
Also, throwing a bonus one, in Germany, it is illegal to dance on Good Friday.
Well, that just seems unnecessary.
Yeah, I mean, it's Good Friday.
You should be able to dance.
You should be able to dance.
Agreed.
So there you go.
There's some facts.
Easter facts.
All right.
Hey, what's our big news story today?
Hey, I'll tell you.
This one, we return to Florida, man.
This one's not even a crazy Florida man. It's crazy, but it's like a wholesome crazy.
Florida man watches Spider-Man movie 292 times setting new world record go on a florida man has won back
a record after watching spider-man no way home 292 times ramiro alanis previously broke the
record for most cinema productions attended of the same film in 2019 after watching Avengers Endgame 191 times.
Oh my God.
2021, Arnaud Klein beat him out by watching Camelot first installment 204 times, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
To win back the title, Alanis spent a total of 720 hours or 30 days watching the latest
installment in the Spider-Man saga between
December 16th and March 15th.
How do you confirm all those watches?
Well, okay.
Hear me out.
Look at this.
You have answers.
Oh, my God.
Answers coming in.
For the first few weeks of his record attempt, he watched five back-to-back screenings each
day.
Alanis estimates he spent around $3,400 on movie tickets in total over the three months it took to set the record.
Alanis pursued the record in honor of his late grandmother, Juani, according to Guinness.
She was my number one supporter and I want to remain the record holder he said in the news release the term terms of the record dictate that the movie must be watched independently of any other activity
so he couldn't take a nap use his phone or even go to the bathroom while watching the film
what's more a lot of juggled viewings of the film with family and work obligations so they must have
like had somebody there watching them that That feels like not real though.
I don't...
This feels like...
You know how you hear that you can buy Guinness Book Records?
You know what I'm saying?
Like this doesn't...
Like how do you know though?
Couldn't you just turn it on and then walk away?
Uh...
No, I think he went into the theater.
Right, but couldn't you buy a ticket?
I mean, you could, but
Why aren't we saying
Why isn't it like most money spent to see one movie?
That's the category he wins at for sure
I don't think he cares
I think he wants to actually watch the movie
Like he's doing this for his grandmother, Wani
Well, you know what?
What a terrible waste of time.
Oh, I agree.
I would not do that.
But he pretty much can recite the dialogue along with the movie.
And thanks to Alanis and other viewers, the movie has made over a billion dollars in global sales.
That guy alone.
At least 99% of that money.
Oh yeah.
I'm no math genius but I feel like most
of the money comes from him.
I mean
here he is at the movie
dressed as Spider-Man.
You know what?
He looks, and let me be very clear about this,
way more normal than I thought a person should look doing this.
Yeah.
He looks like a normal human being who probably has a normal life, and this is upsetting to me.
I don't like this.
He doesn't look creepy or weird.
He just looks like a normal guy.
And if you would have said any other time,
like, oh, this is just a dude having a good day,
I'd be like, oh, what a nice dude having a good day.
But now I know he's weird, and it makes this photo weird.
Yeah, plus, I mean, he did this before with Endgame.
So I think he's just, like, this is just the thing he wants to do.
He just wants to hold this weird record.
Do you think there's, like, something in it for him?
Like, now Marvel has to, like, bro, my man. I mean he's probably part of the team come work for us like there's
got to be something. It's probably part of it now he loves the like the the like fame that comes
with it too like dude I'm the Guinness record book holder for this like I'm the I'm the Marvel
guy I'm the movie guy like that's probably part of it. Yeah, it always is.
Everyone wants their 15 minutes.
But still, it's like, what a weird way to get fame.
But here we are talking about him.
Here we are talking about him.
So winner.
He wins.
Yeah, Tim.
There you go.
You know, it's an attrition goal.
You know what else my goal is?
