Ghost on Trend Dog in the morning. In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Cocks and Crandall in the morning! Woo!

Yeah, that didn't sound exciting at all. That is woo! You can do better. I think you can do better. I'm running out of steam. You had two woos and that was it. That's all the woos I got in. That's my daily woo quota. That's why they call you Two Woo Crandall. That is. That's it. That's all the woos I got. That's my daily woo quota. That's why they call you Two Woo Crendor. That is.

That's exactly why. Two Woo Crendor. Yep. Two Woo. How you doing? Last night, I had a dream, and I was going to tell you about it, and then within like six or seven minutes of waking up, completely forgot it. I hate that.

I hate it so much. It was so bizarre, and it was one of those dreams where it felt real, and everything Six or seven minutes of waking up, completely forgot it. I hate that. I hate it so much. It was so bizarre, and it was one of those dreams where it felt real, and everything in it seemed real. I wish I could describe it to you better, but I can't because I forgot all of it. Literally, it's all gone. I think your body's designed to do that. I guess so. I would love to have some sort of – maybe I can look it up.

Why do we forget dreams? Yeah, I was just Googling that now. Since dreams are thought to primarily occur during REM sleep, the sleep stage when the MCH cells turn on, activation of these cells may prevent the content of a dream from being stored in the hippocampus. Consequently, the dream is quickly forgotten. Is that part of the reasoning of why we, on a daily basis, don't question whether the dream is reality?

Because it no longer is a memory, if that makes any sense? You know what I mean? Like, if you remembered all your dreams, wouldn't, after a while, your dreams and your waking life start to, like, mesh together in your memory? They probably would a little bit, yeah. There's definitely some dreams you have that are, they feel real. And if you remember them like enough, they legit feel like they happen. I don't know. I'm very curious if it's some sort of biological thing that we just developed over time.

Because, you know, i've seen all sorts of different animals dream uh dogs always right cats we even saw that one spider dreaming that one time yeah so i don't know man i don't know what it it's very interesting to me but yeah i forgot it it doesn't matter at all i totally forgot what it was. And I was going to write it down and everything and just immediately forgot. Well, I think it could get re-kind of fired up. Because I know I've had it where I don't remember a dream. And then later in the day, something happens. And it's like, boom.

And then you remember the dream. You know what I mean? I got no fire. I don't even have a spark. I got nothing. It's gone. Well, you just haven't had that spark yet. Maybe not. You know what i mean i got no fire i don't even have a spark i got nothing it's gone well you just haven't had that spark yet maybe not you know i mean like sometimes you might be sitting around later you're watching pv or something and all of a sudden it's like boom and you're like i remember well at that point we won't be doing a podcast so it doesn't matter

well that's very true it doesn't matter to me that happens i'll forget it again i'll be like get out of here i don't even like you now That's true But there is one thing that I want to talk to you about You for years Have gone to my twitter And hit me with my own twitter feed stuff So I'm going to get you

Because in case anyone doesn't know Our dear friend Krendor here Is a character now In World of Warcraft. Right. You can find his NPC in a boat. Very funny. It's Krend the Pointless. Hilarious.

I don't know. I think it might have been Wowhead or one of those Warcraft websites posted a thing like Krendor's in the game. My absolute favorite comments are the ones that are like, who the hell is that? I laughed so

hard. Yeah, I've been seeing those in the old feed. I was dying. I was like, time out. First off, that is the most appropriate response. But second off, there are people who are like outraged as well, who are like, I thought Warcraft wasn't going to do

this anymore. I thought they said they were going to stop doing this. And I'm like, why do you even care? What does it matter? Yeah, I don't know. People just get mad for no reason, especially on Twitter. Twitter is like the place to get mad for no reason. Or the people never heard of them. It's like, oh, I guess that means

it's irrelevant then. Should just remove it because this one random person hasn't heard of me. Yeah, someone replied with something like that where someone was like, I don't know who this is. They're like, well, since you're the most important person in the world, I mean, clearly we should take it down and remove it. Like, come on.

Those people care more than I do. I'm just like, oh, this is cool, dude. Alright. And they're just like, what about this person? What about that person? I genuinely cannot stress how much I love the idea of a guy named Kren the Pointless who literally is pointless and people being like, I don't know. I don't even know who this is.

I don't know what this is. It's like, yeah, well, that's the pointlessness of it. It doesn't matter if you do or not. I also think it's uh i feel like if they were gonna add in anything it would be like in reference to the pointless top 10 because i feel like that series is the one that kind of shows off the stuff that people don't notice like i'm sure there's like a bunch of people on the art team or something or like wow we put a bunch of work into the ceiling and then nobody ever cares about the ceiling and finally somebody's like hey look at the ceiling and everyone's like wow

and then they're like wow finally my work is recognized absolutely i completely completely agree um you're doing them as a company a service you know it it may be one that is self-promotional for you, but, like, you're showing off their game in a way that isn't like, I hear this Warcraft is made of poo-poo and butts and it's terrible and everything about it sucks. Like, you're not one of the many content creators who that's how they make their money.

You're not doing that. So if anyone deserves to be in the game, it's you. And I'm also not a person being like, I only do World of Warcraft. This is all I do. Here's my WoW news show. Here's this thing. It's like, I just go like, hey guys, there's some cool stuff to look at in the game. Again, Kren the Pointless. Absolutely perfect character.

And he's fishing. And he says see ya at the end of it. And honestly, anyone who has any problem, that's on, they're like, stupid. I'm gonna say it. You're stupid. You're stupid little baby people. You know, whatever. It's just the internet.

It happens. People are like, blah. Then people just move on. This is why you're a better person than me. I would be like, can't you be happy for anyone? Why? Why must you always be like, I don't like it. It's not for me.

Well, not everything is for you. You're not going to change those people. You're not going to change the way people think. You just got to do what you do and keep going. I constantly try to imagine that anyone who's like a giant piece of shit on the internet is 12. That's how I get through life. A giant piece of shit on the internet is 12. That's how I get through life.

Even though I know it's not true, I like to imagine that they're all hiding behind avatars anyway. And there's young kids who are in that weird, like, I think I know everything phase of being a teenager. And I'm like, okay, all right, I got to relax. These kids, they don't know what the hell is going on. They've got no parental supervision on the internet, so I'll let it pass. But sometimes I'm like, how dare you? How dare you? what the hell's going on. They've got no parental supervision on the internet, so I'll let it pass, but sometimes I'm like, how dare you? How dare you? I don't know.

That's it. Like, I was just, I'm happy being like, alright, it's there. I got my thing. I move on. And then, honestly, I already was just like, this is cool. And then, Wowhead just keeps being like this is cool and then wowhead just keeps being like look at this it's like the second time they tweeted the the thing it's like those news sites that are just like look this thing is here like this person did a thing this streamer

did a thing it's like all right well i've always said you're the amaranth of world of warcraft oh yeah yeah i stand by that yeah you've always said that What I think is so funny is People being upset about Influencers or creators Whatever being characters in game And how people are like Well I thought they said they weren't going to do that anymore Ever since you know something something

Some guy got caught up in some drama And like allegations of this or that Whatever and I'm just like Of all the people i'm not worried about that being a problem for yeah i can't imagine what kind of scandal you would be involved with on the internet this isn't even like something like mccree or whatever it's just like a main character and a thing or like i don't know this is something where they could literally take krenn the pointless and if they're like we really don't want. This is something where they could literally take Krenn the Pointless and if they're like, we really don't want influencers in the game, just make it like Carl the Pointless and nobody

cares. It's literally a meaningless NPC that does nothing except sit there. It's not like a quest giver. Yeah. It's not like you're going to name multiple items and characters after a lead writer and the lead writer turns out to be like sexual pest and shit. Yeah. It's not like you're going to do that. out to be a sexual pest and shit. Yeah.

You're not going to do that. Yeah. You're just like one dude. Yeah. I don't know. It's dumb. I saw the one where they're just like, well, yeah, we shouldn't do this because they could be a bad person. It's like you can do that to literally anybody.

Like, ah, we shouldn't honor this guy today. He could be a bad person. Like, imagine every time, like, an athlete or something, or just like, oh, let's honor old Rick at the library. He's worked here seven years. Like, yeah, we shouldn't do that. He could be a really bad person. He could be a terrible human being. Yeah, you don't know.

You don't know the secrets. Yeah, he might have not even done it yet. We shouldn't do it. You get caught up in a crazy internet scandal that ruins your career what was it uh oh god i don't know just what was the thing just think about what is the thing that would ruin your what is like you've been caught up in it it's out there now. They've taken away your WoW character. What is it that you did? Let's see. What do I do? The gym.

Steroids. Too many roids. I'm going to let you know. A lot of times, steroids actually improve your public profile. Oh, that's true. All right. God, what do I do? I don't know.

I love that it's this hard for you to even come up with any possible, like, what did I do to get canceled? I don't know. That's what I'm saying. Out of anyone in the world, you're the least likely to be canceled person I've ever known. I don't know what you could do. I don't party. I don't talk to new people. You don't?

I got nothing. That's what I'm saying. They're over here worried as hell like this guy could be a scumbag. I mean, yes, that's very true. Definite scumbag. But like, not in a way that's going to get you banned from stuff. Yeah. No.

I've seen plenty of content creators that got plenty of things that they could. They're not good people. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's why I only do characters that are, like, weird. Right. So if I ever get caught up in stuff, I'm going to be like, well, I was in a game where my dick exploded. So if anything, that was like weird. Right. So if I ever get caught up in something, I'm gonna be like, well, I was in a game

where my dick exploded, so if anything, that was a warning. But the main thing here that we're missing is that I still wish they would have done the ogre with us. Sure, but I have a feeling that after making several videos saying do not buy Blizzard products until they fire the CEO, I feel like they're not going to include me in things. Yeah.

Plus, it's just, I'm also one of those people, I just hate the attention. Like, I just, I don't like it, which is weird because you would think, like, all the content creators, people are just like, I need to get on this show. I need to get on this podcast. I need to, you know, get my name out there, promote.

And I'm just like, man, I just, I hate, I hate attention. Yeah, the whole gimmick is get yourself out there promo and I'm just like man I just I hate I hate attention yeah the whole gimmick is get yourself out there as much as possible no matter what it takes and you're kind of like well if you mean by get yourself out there go to the gym and eat a muffin and come home then yeah yeah I mean I don't know I just that's why I always said I would not even want to be a person that gets higher than uh maybe like 2,000 viewers on Twitch. I think once you go above that point, it gets too chaotic. But that weird Twitch thing they do now where they say if you play this many ads, we'll give you a certain amount of money. Dude, that Golgotha guy was like $21,000 for a month of doing that.

I mean, I think about it. I'm like, maybe. Maybe I month of doing that i mean yeah but i think about it i'm like maybe maybe i should be doing that if you're at that point you're probably making a shit ton of money from every other thing you're doing yeah but that's a lot of money though how many viewers are they getting though oh i have no i i mean probably a lot i would imagine that's how you're getting 21 000 a month yeah from doing that ad thing i the problem is is it's how you're getting $21,000 a month from doing that ad thing. The problem is, it's like you have to do three I think it's three minutes of

ads every hour, which is a lot of ads when you think about it. I mean, it's no different than TV, but to be honest, for a viewing experience, it does feel like a lot. I've seen those ad things, know at my viewership the ad program is not great like it's it's like okay i think i actually make like slightly less

from just doing whatever i do now with ads which is just letting them play sure and not caring and i'm like well why would i do this program? It doesn't even make sense. They're not like, hey, here's $50,000. Like, oh, wow. It's just like, eh. So I'm like, I'm not going to run three minutes of ads every hour. I'd rather just not have ads at all at that point. Right?

It is interesting. And also it's kind of like they're trying to get it so if you do ads, you'll have less ad show when people get to your channel? I don't... It seems like a lot. It seems like a lot. And I'm kind of over it. It's the thing where if you run ads for...

I don't remember how long, but then if you go to their stream where they just ran ads, you won't get ads when you click on their stream. Okay. I mean, I guess that checks out. I know there has to be some reason for people to want to do that stuff, but I also know that they require, I mean, obviously the reason is money, but I know they require you stream X number of hours every month to do it, to get the money. And to me, I'm like,

I don't like that. It's like if YouTube was like, you have to make at least 40 videos a month. Yeah. Right? And then we'll pay you this ad rate. It's like, I don't know if i want to do this then you're like even with streaming is it starts hitting the point where they're like

forcing you to stream like you have to stream this many hours and it's like doesn't matter if you're not feeling good if you don't want to do it and then you're just like hey guys we're streaming and people are like wow this guy's not having fun and then you know People can see it It's very interesting because I have watched Friends especially Now that we're towards the end of the month And I think isn't September September or whatever it is

So a lot of people are taking vacations right now And watching people on Twitter be like Going on vacation for a week I've never been so scared I'm like what? Why are you afraid'm going on vacation for a week. I've never been so scared. I'm like, what? Wait, what? Why are you afraid to go on vacation? It's like I'm

leaving my stream for the first time in six years and I just, I'm like what the absolute Okay, that's scary. That sounds like an addiction. Well, I mean, Twitch is filled with a lot of workaholic people where they just go non-stop. I mean, you did just say a lot of workaholic people where they just go nonstop.

I mean, you did just say the other week that you didn't want to get COVID or whatever because then you weren't going to be able to do anything. That's kind of like a vacation. Not a fun one. I mean, like, yeah, having COVID and not being able to talk when your job is talking, it isn't just like I can't make videos. It's I couldn't make videos. I couldn't do podcasts. Wouldn't that be like a vacation? I'm going to let you know.

I don't think COVID qualifies as a vacation. Well, I just said it's a vacation. It's a shitty vacation. Yeah, but it isn't. I could leave and go. I went and hung out with you for a few days, and that was fine. I didn't stress about work, and I just hung out. So I can do that.

No big deal. I'm just saying COVID is a different beast altogether Because there is no defined ending Like I don't know when I'll be able to talk fine again And there's been moments in the past where You know that one summer where I was really sick It was like three months Before I could talk correctly like a human being

If you want to go know what that's like Go watch that video where I'm choking on the goat meat thing That's me dying of laughter Because I couldn't breathe because that summer was terrible that's true i remember that was the time we went to e3 and you went into the bathroom you were in there for like 30 minutes dude it sucked that was that time that we uh we went out and ate those hot dogs at the devolver digital booth and i literally couldn't eat the hot dog because it like hurt my throat so bad jesus i was dying i don't know what I had.

I'm glad I don't have it anymore. That sucked, dude. Is it like bronchitis? Yeah, I think it was bronchitis. It was something along those lines. I know that what eventually cured is I went to the doctor and was like, look, doc, I've had this cough for a month and a half, maybe two months. It will not go away.

I'm no longer sick, but the cough won't go away. And when I cough, I feel like I'm going to die. And they were like, alright, take these 85 pills. They gave me multiple packs of pills and then they gave me all these different things to drink and stuff.

And I was like, okay. And then three days later, I was fine. Which, hello, modern medicine. You're kicking ass. Keep doing what you're doing. I don't know what they filled me with, but man, that was great. I was fine. Which, hello, modern medicine. You're kicking ass. Keep doing what you're doing. I don't know what they filled me with, but, man, that was great. I was like, all right, I guess I'll do what the doctor says. And then after the weekend, I was like, oh, my God, I can talk. And ever since then, I've been very worried about getting, you know, like super sick.

A cold or whatever is fine. But having been there, I'm like, no, thank you. I'm not going back to that. That was the worst. Oh, the worst thing I read was mono. That was the sore throat I had from that. It was like a week of just the worst sore throat ever. My throat was like closing up.

And then the worst was it gave me gastritis because I was taking so many Advil. It like tore up my stomach. Dude, that sucks, man. Yeah, it was bad. That was just three weeks. It was three weeks of just the worst. That was... Never again.

You have my complete and total sympathy, because, my God. Yeah. I did write down one thing I heard this week. You heard? Oh, this week. I was like, when you had mono? No. You remember that?, this week. I was like, when you had mono? No.

You remember that? I was walking around outside, and I was walking past some, like, restaurants. There was this table of just old, not like old, but like in their, like, 50s, 60s, and they were all drinking, and I guess school started this week, because I heard one of them, there was, someone mentioned teaching,

and then this other guy is like bald guy with a goatee goes and the kids were assholes which is why I'm still sitting here and they're like sitting at the bar. I need you to understand that is the truth of being a teacher. So you're like I hate

those kids and I know teachers are like not all my kids. Nah. Nah. Every teacher has a group of kids. They have that one class. They're just like I hate everyone kids. And I know teachers are like, no, I don't love my kids. Nah. Nah, every teacher has a group of kids. They have that one class. They're just like, I hate everyone in that class. Oh, yeah. They're all terrible kids. Their parents are raised complete assholes.

Oh, yeah. Don't let anyone fool you. Don't do that. I remember there was one class. It was like some science class. I don't remember what kind of science. And the teacher hated that class like she already had migraines or something which i don't know how people get so many migraines i

get like one every like four or five months and that's bad enough uh and she had to deal with that class of like it was like 20 annoying kids and then like, another kid, and this one girl. They were like the only quiet ones. Remember she came up to the three of us one time and she was like, thank God you guys aren't like them. And that was it. And I was like, oh. Yep.

It was like the class clown all-star team. You know what I mean? I do because I both was in that class and taught that class. Yeah. I've had so many just truly awful students, but I also was an awful student. So I'm my own problem. Oh, yeah, that's true. You were a super class clown.

Oh, I was such a class clown that when we did our yearbook photos for class clowns, I skipped the class clown photo and it was just the girl by herself. So it says her name and then Jesse Cox not pictured. I just didn't go to it. I was like, it'd be funnier if I don't show up. Was it funnier? To me. I don't know if anyone else laughed, but I thought it was hilarious.

Wait, so they actually had a class clown photo thing? I'll have to find it. I was a bunch of them. They did those superlative things, like class smarty pants, biggest flirt, and hottest guy, that kind of thing. I don't know. We had that, but we never had pictures with it. Yeah, they put it in the yearbook.

Huh, interesting. Yeah, somewhere out there is some shit, I guess. Kids, annoying. I heard the new Game of Thrones House of the Dragon thing was actually pretty good. Did you watch it, or did you just hear it? No, I didn't watch it. I just heard it was good. Because I was going to watch it, and i was like yeah i don't know but so far it's got 8.9 on imdb it's got a 90 on the google users which i don't even know uh and everybody everybody i've i've heard from they're just like yeah it's pretty good

so i'll get kind of one of them i kind of watch it Okay. I mean, I don't. Even my mom was like, I think I'm going to watch it. I am so burnt by the previous incarnation of the show and how it ended and how I still don't have my damn books. It's been years, Crandor. Years. Oh, he gave up. I guarantee it.

I'm so infuriated. I feel like I'm watching everyone be lured in by... It's like if I knew the really shitty older brother who was a terrible person and just like the worst... You know what it is? It's like watching someone, like hating one of the Paul brothers, but then watching someone fall for the other one. So being like, that guy's a complete asshole, but his friend is not, but his brother's nice. No, I can't allow you to do that.

But here I am like, yeah, all right, maybe. What am I going to say? I haven't seen it. It could be great. I don't know that I care. I yeah, all right, maybe. What am I going to say? I haven't seen it. It could be great. I don't know that I care, Credor. I don't know that I care. All right, you say it now, but we'll wait. We'll see.

Maybe at some point you're going to be like, you know what? I'll watch it. Then you're going to be like, all right, it's good. I went to go drink my drink, and it went down the wrong pipe. I almost died. I almost died. Yeah, do you know? I was reading about that, how your your airway like blocks off or whatever real fast.

Food and water are supposed to go down the esophagus and into the stomach. However, when food goes down the wrong pipe, it is entering the airway. Well, I know that. The opportunity to enter the lungs. If food or water gets into the lungs, this can cause aspiration pneumonia. Well, thank you for that for that information and so what i'm trying to say is i'm probably gonna watch this show and i don't know it's okay part of me is just like you know what maybe they're like god that ended so

shitty everyone hated it so now we really have to try on this one yeah i mean okay that's my mentality it might be a little copium but i mean if everybody's watching it was pretty good i'm like maybe i'll watch and i'll report back i would love to know anything else going on with you uh nah that's about it well see see wow fans this is what you're getting This is what you're getting into. You don't have to worry. You don't have to worry about this man. He's not a threat to your video game existence. Your character isn't going to meet

a future creep in World of Warcraft. You're fine. That's true. In fact, I got my pelvic floor issues again from sitting too much from playing Pokemon. So now I got to start using my sit-stand desk more. So I think I got to use my standing desk.

But I need like, the thing is, right, you're not supposed to constantly stand because that can also cause issues. So what you're supposed to do is you're supposed to like do like hybrid where you stand for a bit and then you sit a bit and then you stand a bit and then you sit a bit. That's like the ideal. I mean, I wouldn't know because I bought at the beginning of August, I bought a sit stand desk for my home and it hasn't arrived yet. It's been almost a full month. Hasn't arrived yet. i went to contact their support and there was like the email didn't work i am not sure if i got ripped off or i don't know i'm like um hello i would like my desk and they're like your desk will arrive in eight to ten days it has been 28 days i bought it august 1st Did they give you any like shipping details?

Not anything They said it would ship And here's the thing It's the same company I bought a sit stand desk For the office So I know they're good I have I'm on it right now Oh So I know it works

Originally when I first bought the one for the office And I bought that in 2021 I bought it two days. I bought it. Two days later, I got a shipping notification. And then three days later, it arrived. This is, I sent it. I bought it. They sent me a thing that said, hey, you have a thing coming.

It'll be eight to ten days. And then nothing. Nothing. That is weird. I mean, normally they give you a tracking number though oh i am very aware so maybe they're just backed up from shipping problems or something i guess that's the only thing i can think of a month though bro a month i mean things have gotten delayed a few months from all the shipping issues a A month though, bro? I am so upset.

Well, I mean, when we ordered last year, I don't even know if it's worse. I feel like it's better than last year. But last year when we ordered a new couch, it took like three months. They were like, we got two of the parts here, but one of them is going to take a few months. And then we were like, all right. It took a few months. Here's the thing. I can't even get that information because when i go to contact them i go to their email thing and it's like

oh you forgot to enter your name and address i'm like no i did go back enter it again and it's like nope can't submit you forgot to enter your name and address their their system is like broken and i'm starting to think like all right well i i this in 2021, so maybe in the last year something crazy has happened, so I'll go check out their social media.

let's go to the traffic. Let's go to the traffic. Let's go to the traffic. Traffic is actually getting a little better. Gas prices going down. People back in school going to work. All the stuff falls coming in. So people not traveling,

going on vacations much anymore. And, you know, it's calming down a bit. However, there still is a lot of traffic, especially during rush hours. So watch out if you're rushing in the hour of rush. Try to walk.

Do walk hour instead. Back to you. If we could have, like, an hour of Rush where it was just all Rush during Rush Hour. I'm sure a radio station has to be doing that. There's got to be, yeah. Welcome back to Rush Hour. Closer to the heart. You know there's got to be something.

Oh, yeah. There's got to be. Also, the fact that it's called Rush Hour and everyone goes like two miles an hour should be like, this is slow traffic hour. Maybe it's because everyone's in a rush, but they get caught. Like they're in a rush to get home. You know what I mean? I think that's what it is, but it is just funny that it's backlogged in the rush hour. Closer to the heart.

Yeah. All right. Then let's go to weather weather time all right so i'm gonna let you pick here i'm gonna throw two places to your brain and you're gonna pick one we've got tywin wales and Kajani Finland. Tywin Wales. We got to go Tywin Wales. It's Tywin, right? Yeah. Or it's Ta-win.

How do you spell it? T-Y-W-Y-N. T-Y-W-Y-N. Yeah. Let's go with that because it seems more Game of Thrones-y. All right. Well, they do say... And since you're already on that dragon thing, we might as well. That's true, yeah.

This town is home to the Tallalin Railway. Tallalin, which is a historic railway housing 150 years of steam trains. The railway is historically significant, not just for being the first heritage railway, but also being entirely volunteer run from the start of its inception in 1951, even under significant financial pressure. The author of the original Thomas the Tank Engine books has not only volunteered on this railway in the 50s,

but has also written fictional counterparts to all of the engines in his books. There's also the cad fan stone i guess oh they just i mean that is like i fan stone i guess yeah uh well the weather there currently 64 degrees Fahrenheit. You've got 30.2 inches of pressure, 79% humidity, 10 miles of visibility, 5 mile an hour winds, 57 on the dew point, UV index 0.

Moon phase is a waxing crescent and a 620 a.m. sunrise with an 813 p.m. sun set. Looking at the 10-day. We got 73, mostly sunny mostly sunny 71 mostly sunny on Tuesday Wednesday 72 mostly cloudy Thursday 72 partly cloudy Friday light rain 69 nice Saturday 67 light rain Sunday 69 nice light. This, it amazes, you know what? It amazes me how small some of the towns that we cover are. This town seems very small. And I will say, I love that we have like a random, like, yeah, hey, I listened to you from this town where there's like six people and i'm one of the that's pretty good i would say we're dominating the population of the ratings if

you if i'm being honest that's already like 20 of the town yeah we're doing great if you can get your friends to listen we can take over the whole town you can you can name it uh cox and Crenland. I just clicked Cox and Crenland. There's a place called Whole Gate Shop Honey Ice Cream. Oh, I see that. Yes. A bear licking his lips and it's honey ice cream.

I don't even know how that's made. Is it just ice cream with honey on it? Or is it actual honey ice cream? Like they use honey instead of sugar because i guess honey is i mean i'm looking at the photos and oh my god well one of the photos is a bear that looks like a psycho killer yeah i see that bear but it kind of just looks like ice cream so i it must not have honey on it it must must be in it. Yeah, because, I mean, honey is just sugar when you, like, cook with it. Yeah.

So it makes sense. But I wonder if it tastes different with the honey. I don't know. I'm curious. I would try it. Yeah, I'm fascinated by the fact that there appears to be a ton. You know what? Actually, this is very, very funny to me.

Actually, this is very, very funny to me. The main road, A493, through the town is like exactly what I would imagine when I think of small British town. There is Bar India. Bar. Well, actually, Pub. Pub. Indian food. Pub Indian food.

A place called Propaganda, which, first off, is a hilarious name if it's about propaganda. But Propaganda, and I have no idea what they serve here. It looks actually delicious. Oh, my goodness. Wow, that looks great. And then Fish and Chips Place, and then like a pub, another pub, and then a pharmacy, a fish and chips, a pharmacy, a grocery store. What is Walker's Restaurant? Fish and chips.

Skippy's Fish and Chips. Yeah. They have a sign where they're closed and there's a kangaroo on it. I don't know why. I'm obsessed with the fact that Skippy's Fish and Chips is very close to more twin quality fish and... Tywin quality fish and chips. They're very close. Oh, yeah. And they got.4 higher rate.

Do you think they're more enemies? Yes, 100%. No doubt at all. Also, this... The more menu looks... I guess that's how you say it. Looks vastly different. Yeah, and they also got seagull statues.

Yeah, I mean, I love those seagull statues. I'm here for that. But yeah, this seems very like a different kind of fish and chip. Yeah, it looks like a little fancier. Yeah. Then there's walkers who also, dude Dude everybody here just sells fish and chips I mean they literally are in the water Yeah

Like this is the oceans right there So you better be selling fish and chips If you walk down a street There's like 30 different places That's what I'm saying What's crazy is that there's that There's that main road that goes From outside of town all the way to what I assume is downtown at a train stop.

Yeah. And other than that, it's kind of like your average. Never mind. There's nothing average about this town. Oh, my God. Trendor. What? Gwinnid Paranormal Investigations.

One star. Yes. Oh, man. It's just a house. It's just someone's house. But it's an investigation. Get out of town. Oh, my God.

Yeah. Oh, they have a team. Manifestations. Spirits. Ghost hunting. Oh, my God. Meet the team. We are a paranormal investigation group

Specifically set up to raise money For local charities in Gwinnett and North Wales area Started November 2011 By me, Zoe Callow We are a paranormal investigation group Specifically set up to raise You just said that

I personally have been a paranormal investigator For almost 20 years And previous to this, I ran another paranormal investigation group for six years. I have many more years' experience of paranormal activity since I was a young child. We conduct overnight paranormal investigations. Oh, my God. Yes. Yes.

I love everything about this. Yep. This is the town. They have a live ghost cam? Uh-oh. I love everything about this Yep This is the town They have a live ghost cam It's not supported anymore It's not supported anymore unfortunately Ah geez And it looks like the two reviews

That gave it one star said they don't respond Well that's cause you haven't tried a seance Yeah that's true They just probably called Yeah you gotta like Contact them telepathically Well, that's because you haven't tried a seance. Yeah, that's true. They just probably called. Yeah, you got to contact them telepathically. Yes, I love that that is on the Google map. That isn't just like, this is an important piece of lore here.

This is. This is the paranormal investigations uh well that's uh that's the weather all right what is going on sports sports uh welcome to sports so nfl preseason finally coming to a close, which means we're getting to the regular season. Currently, there's only one preseason game left, and it is the Lions and the Steelers. And the Steelers are up 3-0 in a meaningless preseason game that the winner doesn't really matter.

Don't be like that. Don't be like that, man. And then we have the Major League Baseball, where the Yankees are still in first at 78-49. The Guardians are first place in the Central. The Astros in the West. The Mets in the East. Cardinals in the Central. The Astros in the West. The Mets in the East. Cardinals in the Central.

And Dodgers in the West. But we look at the wild card. It's getting crazy. You got the Rays, the Mariners, the Blue Jays, the Orioles. All those teams battling for wild card spots. And then the National League got the Braves, Phillies, Padres, Brewers. All battling for wildcard spots. Wacky, wild, crazy wildcard races.

And only three of those teams that I mentioned would get in. So out of the Rays, Mariners, Blue Jays, Orioles, only three of those can get in. So someone's getting left out. Unless the Twins go on a run, too. I don run too but i'll get a little late but who knows uh so yeah that's sports okay what's our fact of the day fact of the day day day day in ancient rome lemons were used as an antidote to all poisons. That's all it says.

I mean, there's no... All right, now I got to Google. Lemon as antidote? Yeah. Can I just say, when you type in lemon as an antidote, this is what pops up in Google. Lemon as antidote for poison ivy? Lemon as antidote for poison? Lemon as antidote for poison oak?

Lemon as antidote for death? That last one seems like I should click that. I don't see anything about it. Is this website lying? But it sounds true. Okay, but here's poisons and antidotes from Goatee's Lady's book 1854. These are from an 1854 publication. That's not 1854, is it Rome?

That's what I'm saying, but this is the only thing I can find that goes that far back. Alcohol. First, cleanse out the stomach by an emetic. Then, dash cold water on head and give ammonia.

Oh my God. Then. After giving them loads of cocaine, give them lemon. Now, if you have ammonia poisoning. Remedy. Lemon juice or vinegar. Afterwards, milk and water or flaxseed pee. Then wrap them in asbestos

Here's the thing There's people like doing this shit today I was just gonna say When I typed in Lemon cure for death The first thing that popped up Was a guy during COVID Who stuck lemons in his nose

In order to keep himself from getting COVID And he died Jesus Well here's the thing I'm sure lemons are good for you keep himself from getting COVID and he died. Jesus. Well, here's the thing. I'm sure lemons are good for you, but they're not going to cure your ailments. Literally, it says, Lemon Juice Tea Does Not Cure COVID. The fact that

that has to be a giant, bold article title. Oh, my God. Now, here's the thing. If you got opium poisoning, alright, first, give a strong emetic, I don't even know if that's how you say this, emetic Oh my god. Now here's the thing if you got opium poisoning, all right first give a strong emetic, I don't even know if that's how you say this, emetic, E-M-E-T-I-C Of mustard and water then strong coffee and acid drinks dash cold water on head This is like you know in video games where you have to do like a little thing and they're like give me the pliers

Alright now throw some stuff in the fire and you like go back and forth. That's what this reminds me of. Like, all right, give him some coffee. Dash water on head. Now combine mustard and water. Make them drink it. I can't. I am so blown away. There are so many, so many just absolute bogus things about lemons.

I this is wild. Expired lemon juice and diarrhea question mark? What? Wait. Hold on. This is an audio thing. Oh my god. Someone did say. Wait. Okay.

Oh wait. In ancient Rome, lemons were used as antidote to all poisons. That's a Snapple fact. It's got to be true. It's a Snapple fact. Snapple facts need to be backed with Snapple evidence. You can't just Snapple fact me. Where's the Snapple background information?

All right, here we go. Sour note. In ancient Rome, lemons were only for the rich. This is an article with real words. Lemons were the acai bowls of the ancient Romans, prized by the privileged because they were rare and treasured for their healing powers. In fact, this coveted fruit, as well as the citron, were the only citrus fruits known in the ancient Mediterranean. However, the citrus fruits that followed in years later weren't as exclusive as lemons and citrons. All other citrus fruits most probably spread more than a millennium later and for economic reasons.

Okay. What do they talk about poisons? I will say, when you brought up citron, I went to go look that up. I guess it translates to Citrus Medica, which I guess would be a medical citrus. I mean, that does check out. Huh. And a Citron just looks like a crazy lemon. Is this why...

Wow. why wow apparently like if you look at the cross-section of a citron my god it is like 99% right it is oh my god whoa yeah that's crazy okay I mean I guess that's huh so then the lemon it looks like it just expand that out worth to have more like I mean I guess that's why it's a different thing

It has less rind more juice pulp Yeah I'm sure we're going to get a message from someone that's like Yeah incorrect These are the reasonings 100% it's just like my NPC There's always somebody There's always somebody

Citron actually The Romans Great Oh well I mean I guess it makes sense because I'm looking at the Folk medicine version And it says that in ancient Through medieval times Citron was used mainly for

Medical purposes such as combating Seasickness, scurvy and other disorders I imagine because it had a Really high content of vitamin C and dietary fiber. And I guess the rind had essential oils. And so it checks out. I don't know that I think it's like a cure-all, but it certainly has a lot of things that would help people who in the olden days

probably needed a lot of vitamin C. Yeah, that's true. All right. I mean, yeah. It probably did help but didn't cure poison. Yeah. I don't think it cured poison, but you know what? Maybe our poisons are stronger now.

Maybe we've really honed poisons. And we got that stuff down. And back in the day, you know what? I'm going to say it. Aunt Jerome, your poisons was weak Your poisons was weak Someone had to say it Someone had to say it

Well there's your fact of the day Alright Let's go to a big Story Of today Let's go to the big story You notice I'm just all over the place Let's just keep moving Let's just keep going big story. You notice I'm just all over the place. Let's just keep moving.

Let's just keep going. All right. This one's interesting. A fisherman thought he caught a rock. He snagged a prehistoric treasure instead. What does that mean? The Nebraska man said he initially believed the underwater find was the skeleton of a catfish or a deer. A NebraskaMan fishing in a tournament got more than he bargained for

after casting his line into the Missouri River earlier this month. Andy Moore was fishing west of Yankton, South Dakota when he snagged a rock in the water and kayaked over to take a closer look. Quote, I get up to it and i'm like oh wow that's kind of cool i thought it was a big catfish skeleton or a deer skeleton something told me to take a picture of this uh more shared pictures of the object online and someone reached out to suggest it could be a prehistoric fossil the fishermen later contacted biologists with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers who confirmed that Moore seems to have found a predator fish fossil that is up to 90 million years old. Whoa!

He said, I'm still kind of mind-blown about the whole thing. The fossil won't be underwater anymore as it's now being prepared for display at the Lewis and Clark Visitor Center in Crofton, Nebraska. And if you want to see it, there it is. Click the thing, and then there's pictures. That's fascinating. It looks like pieces. Yeah.

I mean, it looks like a spine, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I wonder how they determined what it actually was in the end. I mean, obviously, whatever it was, it's big. Like, you can see the spine. Yeah. But, I wonder how they determined, oh, that's a predator fish. Yeah, I have no idea.

Oh, yeah, 100%. I've seen plenty of these in my day. I mean, I guess, if this is your job, and you're a paleontologist, you probably have. That's true, you probably have. It's, uh, it's still crazy. Like, just imagine. Yeah, I mean.

Yeah. Yeah. What were you going to say? I was going to say, just imagine you're out fishing, and you just pull in a 90-million-year-old fossil. I guess it brings into context the fact that, you know, most of what is land was underwater at some point. And there were things that – it's like we went to that exhibit at the museum.

I am obsessed over the fact that some guy posted – and I keep thinking about this – a photo of – I guess it was taken from the International Space Station or something. I don't know what it's from. But it's the side of Earth where there's no continents. Have you seen that? No. Maps don't do it justice, but the Pacific Ocean is so big that if you're

facing Earth, like the blue ball of Earth, that at a certain point, the continents are barely visible on the outside, and then there's an entire side of Earth with just water. Huh. I got, hold on, let's see if I can find this. Earth's water only side.

Images. Does that exist? I'm still choking on the fact that I choked on my damn self earlier. Yep. Yes. I mean, here's a Vsauce version of it. Even today, Earth can appear to be almost entirely water. Yeah, this image right here.

I'll just send it to you. Copy link. Send to Crondor Okay Look at this There's just one That's crazy Oh yeah that is crazy What the shit

That's how big the Pacific Ocean is Compared to the Atlantic And how That's crazy You can see kind of on the edges Where Australia is down the bottom And where like up at the top You can kind of see

All the little connectors of the north You know like Alaska To you know Russia and stuff But most of it is completely empty Just blue like perfectly blue with clouds Yeah that's wild. I know.

Crazy, right? That is crazy. Water. It's everywhere. It's everywhere, man. So, yeah. And at a certain point in time, things that were above ground were below sea level. And, you know, like a bunch of dudes were swimming around.

Big-ass predator fish. And now this dude, 90 million years later, is like, got him. Which makes me curious if like 90 million years from now, someone's going to be playing around with my stone encrusted body. Wow, we found this guy. He's 800 million years old. I think it's a deer. I think it's a deer. Yeah, it's a deer. I think I saw an

article, and I want to say it was a buffalo, but I could be wrong. It was some animal. It was a cow. Some animal I guess was perfectly preserved for X number of years in ice. And when the scientists got it out, it was so preserved

that it didn't have any bacteria on it so they cut off a piece and ate it. What? I'm telling you! Now I gotta look this up. Cut off piece of ancient animal and ate it.

I don't know what the animal was. It was a bison That's what it was A dinner party that served up a 50,000 year old bison stew What the shit That's crazy Yeah in Alaska they found this like perfectly preserved Bison in Ice I guess named blue

Babe and Blue babe was discovered five year early Five years earlier by gold miners And they reported the findings And then I guess they Like took this Thing in and it froze so Rapidly following its death

Perhaps a result of winter time, that they were amazed to find that it froze so well that muscle tissue retained a texture not unlike beef jerky. Its fatty skin and bone marrow remained intact too, even after thousands of years, so why not try to eat part of it? And so they did. That is... I feel like I'd be scared to eat it.

Well, they said when they unfroze the bit that they got, it gave off the unmistakable aroma of beef and not unpleasantly mixed with faint smell of earth in which it was found with a touch of mushroom.

They then added garlic and mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, to the aged meat, coupled that with wine, and they had a full-fledged dinner. That is... That is crazy. I still would not eat it.

I'd be scared. Well, this person said Guthrie, who was a hunter, says they weren't deterred by the thousands-year-old bison because it takes a very special kind of microorganism. And, oh, this is just one guy. This is hilarious. Bliss. I think I got sick just reading about this. I think you did.

Says, this guy says, it would take a very special kind of organism to make me sick, is what he's saying. And I eat frozen meat all the time. All sorts of animals I kill or my neighbors kill. And they don't get kind of old after three years in the time. All sorts of animals I kill or my neighbors kill and they don't get kind of old after three years in the freezer, so it tastes a bit like what you would expect it, a little bit like a ring of mud, but it wasn't

bad. Not so bad that we couldn't each have a bowl. He can't remember if anyone present had seconds, though. I Huh. Well, I huh well I mean I guess they didn't get get sick then but now obsessed with the fact that

I there another article is reconstructing the menu of a pub in ancient Pompeii I love this kind of stuff I love learning about what people ate thousands and thousands of years ago yeah no that's crazy. Oh, man. They were having braised duck.

Hell, yeah. I bet that was delicious. Oh, the braised duck. I've never had duck. Dude, you're a duck? Here's the thing. Duck can be either very, very good or super fatty, depending on how it's cooked. And if it's super fatty, not a fan.

I don't like it. Yeah. But I know a lot of's super fatty, not a fan. I don't like it. Yeah. But I know a lot of people who do, but not me. I'm not a big, like, fatty meat person. Like, even if there's, like, the steaks or something that are really fatty, I don't like that. I like more the New York strip where the fat's just, like, on the one part of it.

You know what I mean? Yeah. I'm not a big fan of big fatty steaks, even though people are like, dude, I love it. It's so good. Like, nah, no. Yeah, I don't know.

Give me a New York strip. That's what I want. And then I'm like, if I want to eat the fat, I can eat it. If I don't, then I don't. Right. Yeah. Yeah, that's a big new story today. All right. Well, that's Russ C crendor hit him with the socials
