This is Trend Dog in the morning.
In the morning!
Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live! Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of C Cox and Crandall in the morning!
Ow.
Ow!
Ow.
Ow!
I don't know what was going on there, but here we are. We're here now.
Yeah, I guess we're here.
Here is where we've arrived and this is where we'll be for a little bit. Yeah, I guess.
You are indeed correct.
Yes. This is where we shall be
Partaking in conversation
I still am thinking about that movie from last night
I can't get it out of my head
Oh yeah, that was wild
For people who missed it, last night Crennor and I on stream watched the movie
Primal? Was that it called?
Primal?
Nick Cage movie from 2019 that looks like it's from like
1994
It had a CGI
The White Jaguar They called it the White Jag 2019 that looks like it's from like 1994. It had a CGI white,
the white Jaguar.
They call it the white Jag.
Yep.
It had Jean Grey from X-Men
and the dude who was blobbed from X-Men,
ironically.
And just like,
I don't know how to describe it,
except it was,
every scene was highly entertaining,
but combined together made no sense.
It was a movie that made no sense.
I loved it.
I thought it was great.
All I know is it had just so many good tropes and so many weird things.
Like the guy initially that was like when the movie opens up and you got the guy who's like senor.
movie opens up and you got the guy who's like senor but then he talks but then he talks like like a guy being like hello i'm an american but then he starts speaking like perfect spanish and
you're like oh okay that's and then nick cage is just like i don't need you i'm gonna get my
animals and then they go uh on the ship and then they're like oh an assassin's gonna
be brought back on the ship which is like the same level of crazy as it is where it's like oh
you get to go home in con air and then they're like oh but you got to go home on this plane
full of insane super killer the plot of this movie is nick cage is an illegal animal smuggler trying to smuggle a white, the white jag, trying to smuggle it back to the States?
Question mark?
Maybe Mexico?
I don't know.
Needless to say, they also decide the same boat is where the NSA, FBI, question mark, a bunch of Marines,
and then for some reason, FAMCA is a Navy Doctor
I don't even know
But they give you reasoning why he can't go on a plane
Which is
They're like well he has a medical condition
Where if he gets above a certain altitude
He'll die
That is absolutely what it was
He's got a can't fly-itis
Where he can't fly
It's like we have to take him on a boat, which is, all right, sure.
And then he proceeds to escape.
And then the rest of the movie is Nick Cage obsessed with finding the white jag.
While everyone else is trying to catch an assassin.
And it's like two separate movies are going on.
And it's absolutely insane.
A man gets bit by a venomous snake.
But the snake, there's no anti-venom yet somehow they're like we can help him one guy every third
word he says is goddamn which is hilarious oh yeah the the engineer guy the engineer is like
these goddamn snakes are on this goddamn ship and i gotta get the goddamn engine running and I'm out of goddamn cigarettes.
You're like,
this guy's dialogue is amazing.
It is.
And then,
yeah, I'm not,
gunfights would happen for no reason.
Every military special forces guy
was the worst at their job.
The assassin was smiling the entire film.
It was,
everything about this movie was crazy.
There's moments where one time it's
night and the next moment it's day there's moments where you know they're like where are you i can't
remember what nick cage's name was but they're like oh frank they're like where are you frank
we need you back here and frank would clearly not have the ability to communicate with them on the
ship yet it would the scene would cut and then he'd be with the group somehow Yeah There's one moment where the screen literally just
Cuts to black
And nothing was resolved
In the middle of a scene it cuts to black
And then they move to another scene
Like it was insane
It was insane and I don't
It's on Amazon if you want to go watch it
I don't know that I can recommend it
But I did love it every minute of it
It was weird that's for sure
It was something
That's for sure
But we did discover
That there's two other Nick Cage movies on there
First off Face Off which is amazing
But then another movie and I can't remember what it was
But I was like we gotta watch this
What was it I don't remember
Stay tuned for more for sure.
We'll come back.
Yeah.
There's at least two new Nick Cage movies on there.
One is a classic, but the other one, I have no idea what it was, but I was like, we got
to watch this movie, dude.
That's what we're here for.
We're here to watch Nick Cage movies online.
That's it.
That's pretty much my entire life at this point.
If I could just retire and only watch Nick Cage movies,
I'd be all right.
I'd be all right.
Speaking of that,
on that stream,
you mentioned that you had a crazy day yesterday and then you were like,
I'm going to stop talking.
I'm going to have everyone turn into the podcast
or tune in to the podcast.
Yeah.
Turn in, tune in.
Well, so my dad's birthday is Monday.
Monday's the 7th, right?
I think so.
So my dad's birthday is Monday.
And my parents wanted to go do stuff.
They were like, what are we going to do to celebrate your father's birthday?
And we had plans originally to go to dinner at this place.
And they were like, eh, whatever.
And then they wanted to go to this place called Solvang, which is in California, it's about two hours north
of LA, it's near Santa Barbara, it's like up in the mountains, kind of, and I've never
been there, and I was like, I'd love to go, and so they decided that instead of doing
it on a Monday, we'd do it yesterday, Saturday, and we, you know, hopped in the car, by the
way, my parents are amazing, they never want to do anything during Jesse hours. It always has to be
parent time, which means
I'm up at like 6.30 in the morning
to go pick them up by 7.30
to then drive up into the mountains because they're like,
we got to get there early. We got to get
there early, Jesse. I'm like, oh my god.
Alright. Like there's
any rush to get there, but they're like, we got to get there
early. So
I picked them up and we drive two and a half
hours north. The entire time we're
driving up, my mom's like, oh, look at the
oh, look at the water. Oh,
the ocean. I'm like, I have to drive, mom.
I have to think, oh, look at the
mountains are so interesting. Look at the
mountains, Jesse. I'm like, I got to drive, mom.
Meanwhile,
my dad's in the backseat. She could be telling
him, and I was like, just talk to dad
about it. And my dad was like, I am
back here. And then she tries to talk to him about it. My dad
does not care. So anyway,
we
drive through
all these towns, and that's where, you know,
it's all these ocean side, beautiful, beautiful
towns. But as we're
driving through, mom's like, oh, remind me on the way back.
We need to stop at an outlet mall.
I'm like, why do we need to stop at an outlet mall, mom?
She's like, well, because, you know, I want to get a jacket.
I got to get a North Face jacket.
I don't want to order one.
I want to try it on.
I'm like, okay, fine.
So, you know, we're just like driving on up there.
So, you know, we're just like Driving on up there
And in order to get to Solvang
Which is
There's one road
And it is the windiest
Most vomit-inducing road I've ever been on
But we finally made it through the road
We get there and it is like
A little tiny Dutch village
In the mountains
And I've never seen anything like it
But here's the thing
Everyone I talked to Everyone that I mentioned I was going there In the mountains. Huh. And I've never seen anything like it, but here's the thing.
Everyone I talked to, everyone that I mentioned I was going there was like,
Yo, that place is dope, dude, you're gonna love it.
I was like, what?
It's pretty freaking cool.
It is, I don't know, like maybe three or four streets worth of town.
And all of it is touristy as shit, but it like bakeries and you know winery stuff and uh you know like sausage things and um ironically there was like a greek place and a
ramen place for some reason but you know whatever and um it was just like little candy shops and
people taking photos with buildings that don't look like they belong in America, that kind of stuff.
It was very interesting.
So because my mom is that person, as we've talked about many, many times in this podcast, she's like, okay, Jesse, I heard from my friend that the best place to park is this spot.
So we're definitely going to go park in that spot.
And I was like, okay, sure.
So we find the parking spot
that her friend told her to go park at
because clearly the eight other parking
spots that we saw were not good enough.
So we parked at the one parking spot
and we got out
and I was like, alright, what are we going to do? It's
10.30am. What's our plan?
What are we going to do? Mom was like, there's a
place called the Solvang Bakery and we need
to go there because I want to get a Danish and some coffee
and I heard it's amazing. And we're like, okay.
So,
where do we go, Mom? She looks
at us and she's like, let me type it into my
phone. So now she,
let me change that. She doesn't type. She goes,
Siri,
directions to Solvang Bakery
as loud as possible. And Siri's like, Solvang Bakery, as loud as possible.
And Siri's like, Solvang Bakery is like, I don't know, that direction.
It's about four blocks that way.
And we're like, okay, easy.
Four blocks, simple.
So we start walking over, and we see all these different places.
Everything's closed, by the way.
It's Saturday at 1030 in the morning.
Most stuff is just opening, right?
And so we're walking by.
My mom's like, oh, we'll go there later, and we'll go there later.
We'll come back and do that.
I'm like, okay, fine.
Like, this is your guys' day.
This is dad's day.
You want to see this stuff?
Let's go.
So we start to approach the bakery, and according to the little tracker thing on our phone,
it's a little bit to the left.
But directly in front of us is another bakery.
And it's like, admittedly, it looks warm and inviting.
And we couldn't see the Solvang Bakery.
So she's like, we're going to go there instead.
All right.
You said you want to go to a specific bakery, but I guess we're going to the B Bakery instead.
We walk in and it looks like the inside, all of it looked really delicious.
It was very, I got like a cherry Danish.
It was great.
But as my mom was getting the Danish, I went to go get coffee. And there was a very nice woman who, I don't know, I'm going to say 40, 50 maybe, who was there.
And she was, you know, just making the coffee and stuff.
And I started talking to her, and she was like,
so what can I get you, hon?
And I'm like, you know, she was doing, like, putting on the works for me,
and I was, yeah, well, you know, I'm here with my parents,
I'm doing this thing, and she's like, oh, that's so sweet, hon.
What can I get you?
I'm like, oh, I would love to get two regular coffees, one decaf.
And she's like, okay.
So we start doing this thing, and she's like, do you need any cream or sugar?
I'm like, I don't know, let me ask my mom.
I'm like, mom, do we need cream or sugar?
And my mom is caught up in her own world of picking pastry.
She does not hear me.
And so rather than shout again, I just like turn back around.
I'm like, I guess I'll find out in a minute.
And the woman who I was talking with, she's like, no matter what, kids always shout, hey, mom, at some point.
I was like, yeah, I think I've just learned to not follow up with like a louder hey, mom, or my mom's name because I know she still won't respond because when she's in her world, she's in her world.
And so she's like, yeah, kids never really change.
And I was like, that's true.
That's true.
So I took the coffee, went over to my mom, was like, do you need cream or sugar?
And then this woman comes over to the table with cream and sugar.
And she's like, don't worry, hon.
I got you.
And I was like, oh, girl. So we ate this Danish stuff. It was delicious. It was fine. Everything was great. And then we, um, left to go spend our day in the town.
Now I had no idea what my parents wanted to do. And honestly, I don't think they knew what they
wanted to do. And so we just walked around a bunch
Like for hours
Just walking around
Looking at things in the town
Like we went to
A like mystic shop
Or something
Like it was like a weird mystic shop
And they have like a bunch of you know like
Crystals and shit in there
And my mom was eating it up
My dad was like looking at stuff
And I was like I keep forgetting my parents
are really into this stuff.
They don't buy any of it, but they definitely like
looking. And so
you know, they went around and looked at different things
and then my dad made a fun of me
because he saw a bunch of like very
weird looking ultra sexualized
figures.
And he was like, oh, it's like the statues Jesse has
in his office. I was like, got me. You got me, dude. Alright. You know, oh, it's like the statues Jesse has in his office.
I was like, got me. You got me, dude. Alright.
We went to a candy shop and they had all these candies. Remember the salted licorice
that people kept trying to give us?
They had a bunch of that and they had giant peppermint sticks. I watched a girl make the peppermint sticks.
That was pretty neat. My mom, we go to this candy shop, my mom buys honey
And her reasoning was
Oh this is the same honey I get except this is $4 cheaper
And I was like oh well
You'd be a fool not to buy it
And admittedly it wasn't that long
After we had Danish and coffee
That my parents were like
Yo you want to get sausage
I was like what?
Like yeah the sausage and beer place is open.
Let's go there.
So I'm still full from the previous meal because that wasn't like some baby Danish.
It was like a big-ass honking chonker.
It was like flaky and crusty and delicious and shit.
It was perfect.
We go to the sausage place, and they're like, my parents are like,
so what do you want to get?
I'm like, I don't know.
I guess like sausage and a beer and my mom was like okay so let's let's do this thing so my dad wanted to split a beer with me and he wanted like a kielbasa and i wanted a thing that
was like a three pepper sausage i knew it was gonna be spicy as hell which is why i got it so
no one would try to eat it from me that's's how I operate with my parents. If I remember with them, they always try to share everything I eat.
I was like, not today, haters.
So I got a super spicy sausage.
My mom got a pretzel and like some dry cider.
And now it's, you know, we're sitting there eating this stuff.
I did enjoy the fact that this was an outdoor restaurant
and they had about 18 types of mustard.
And then they had an entire condiment section that had, you know, like sauerkraut and onions and jalapenos and relish.
Like all sorts of stuff.
That I dug.
That was great.
However, I was still full.
I was like, oh, boy.
So then I ate that sausage because I'm not going to not eat the sausage.
And then we decided to walk around some more because mom was like, well, we got to
walk off that food. I'm like,
okay. Somebody walked around
a bunch more to the point where
my mom finally said,
we should go to the Solvang Bakery. And I'm like,
what? So she's like,
yeah, for the way home, we can get a bunch
of food and I'll take it home.
Like, okay. So
we walk all the way back. So we're at
the other end of the city. Now we walk all the way back to where the Solvang bakery was. We can't
find it. My mom can't find it. I'm like, hold on. I'll just, it's like right here. Let me just find
it. And so it was like a little alcove and my mom walked in, gave it about three seconds of a look,
walked right out. And she goes, I like the first bakery you went to.
And so rather than go to the place you want to go to the entire time, we ended up at the bakery we were at.
I was like, why?
And she goes, you know what?
I tasted it.
I liked it.
The food here, I don't know what it tastes like.
So I'd rather go with the thing I know that I like.
And I was like, okay.
So we went back to the other bakery, bought some Danish things to take home.
And my mom was like, all right, well, that was what a lovely day.
It might have been, I don't even know, 2.30.
We barely spent.
They made it seem like this was our entire day.
No, we got there at 10.30 like this was our entire day. No.
We got there at 1030.
We were out by 230.
I mean, there's really only so much you can do at a place like that.
Agreed.
Completely agreed.
And my parents aren't going to, like, there was a lot of wine places, a lot of beer hall things.
My parents aren't that. So, like, there was one was one place, there was one like little tiny restaurant that when
you went inside, one wall was all cured meats.
They had like a ham on a rack that was probably very expensive.
And then a bunch of weird organic wines that I was like, this is the, like when I hear
that Alex goes there, this is the spot I know he goes to.
Oh yeah.
Like that kind of vibe.
I was like, oh, the meats
here look insane. This is an
Alex spot. And so,
like, that kind of, if I went with friends,
I guarantee we could spend a whole day there just, like,
bar hopping and eating weird
shit and, like, just walking around the
city. Like, there was stuff to do.
Just, I don't know, there was a lot of, like, Jesse and his parents' stuff
to do. So, 2.30
was our limit.
We started driving home.
Now, mind you, this is Jesse Cox driving home.
So I'm like, oh, my God.
Another two hours driving home.
This will be fun.
So get in the car.
We start driving home.
Thankfully, my parents finally – I don't know what happened.
But I think it's because my favorite music – like when I turn on the radio, I might be listening to songs from like the 90s sometimes.
And I think because they're now classified as like classics, my parents vibe them tremendously.
I'm driving home listening to like 90s music and my parents are feeling it.
And then I changed the radio station and I think some song was on.
It was like a Kendrick Lamar song.
Mom was like, this is too loud.
And I was like, what do you mean?
She's like, the bass, it hurts my ears.
I was like, oh, my God, Mom.
But I will say Lizzo, they jammed.
They jammed hard with Lizzo.
She's like, it's about damn time.
They were in it.
They felt it.
Your dad's like, it is about damn time. They were in it. They felt it. So your dad's like, it is about damn time.
So it is.
Yeah, it was great.
So like sometimes it works, but a lot of time my parents are like that bass is too loud.
I'm like, okay, all right.
So so I'm driving back and mom was like, remember, we got to go to the outlet mall.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, I got you.
So we go to the outlet mall and I'm thinking it's going to take day it's gonna be the worst like this everything else has been lovely the outlet
mall i hate going to the mall with my parents because they want to try everything on and do
it i'm just like oh no so we get there we go to north face we walk inside my mom's like okay
what do i want i want like a puffy jacket that's not too puffy and not too hot,
but also doesn't have a hoodie, but also is black.
And she has all these criteria in her mind about what she wants.
We spend, I don't know, 5, 10, 15 minutes walking around, looking at stuff.
And mom is like, I don't know, like it is a hoodie.
We're trying to find stuff.
Bless, I think her name was Stephanie.
Bless this sweet woman, one of the people that worked there.
She's like, can I help you?
And I was like, oh my God, yes.
And my mom described what she wanted.
And this girl, like a pinpoint assassin, finds the exact thing.
I don't know, 15 minutes.
She found the perfect, most flattering looking jacket I've ever seen in my entire life.
And I was like, how on earth did we luck out like this?
We were in and out.
It was the most, I was like, this is perfect.
And then like, we're on our way.
Drove back.
No fuss.
Everything was fine.
And then my mom said, this has been a great day.
We didn't even run into traffic.
45 minutes of LA traffic.
You never say that like i the minute she
said i was like no the minute she said it i knew we were screwed because it was like i don't know
3 35 in the afternoon on a saturday i was like we're doomed yeah so we roll up in there and i
was like no we spent so long stuck in traffic. What would have taken normally five minutes to get home took us 45.
That's how bad the traffic was.
Oh, I lost my mind.
There was a moment.
The speed limit was 65.
We were going like five miles an hour.
I was losing my mind.
It was the worst.
So, like any other day in L.A., that's what that was.
But, yeah, everything, like, surprisingly, very fun day with the parents.
Who knew?
Huh.
Look at that.
And now I can say I've been to the place that all these other people I know have been to.
I enjoyed it, and I would happily go back.
You know the places to go and the places to avoid, like that bakery.
and the places to avoid, like that bakery.
That bakery that my mom wanted to go to so badly and simply did not.
Sometimes you find weird routes to take.
You're like you want to go for something,
and then you just get diverted and you find something even better.
I told my mom this.
I think she got marketing hit. Like she – so like you know how if you want to signal to someone that it's healthy, you color it green?
Or if you – like the tips when you look at like how to paint a room and how if you paint one wall one color or you – like how it can change the perspective, right?
The place that she went to, the place that we went to actually twice, was like open and inviting.
And it was very light colored.
And everything about it seemed like family friendly.
And like when we went back there the second time, the woman who was there who gave us coffee earlier was like,
you couldn't stay away from me, could you?
Like that kind of stuff.
Yeah. It was very – meanwhile, the place she always wanted to go was like a very small hallway.
The bakery looked like the food had been there for i don't know it just didn't look as appealing not because it wasn't as
fresh because the room was brown and the floor the tiles were like old and so it had this vibe
of like it didn't look like you were getting quality right Right. When all the reviews she saw online said it was the
best stuff in the area.
I think
she got marketed to. I think she did get marketed
to. Plus,
you never know when you
go online, you look and some things get
sponsored, but they hide that little sponsored
text or something like, oh, this place
is great. You go on Yelp and it's
only up there because they sponsored it.
That's like when I go to, sometimes
I'll go to Etsy to look for
weird shit for projects here in the
office. When we did
some of the shoots for
Gentleman's Gaming Club, I'd go on Etsy and
buy props and stuff.
When I was on there, when you type in stuff,
it would give you a
list, but the top row would be sponsored stuff.
But you wouldn't realize it unless you really looked.
And so I'd be like, why is it suggesting this thing when I typed in Dead Space 3 helmet?
I'm like, what the hell?
And it's because it was a sponsored thing that was there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's, you know, maybe that's what happened.
Maybe.
It was a weird, it was like a weird moment where I was like, I think my mom got got.
Like, she was dead set on this thing and then so quickly changed her mind.
Where she was like, you know what?
I like this better.
It was delicious.
It was like we were there and everything, everyone seemed like fine.
And admittedly, the one we went to first The people at the counter
Were very kind
There was like people walking around checking out the bakery stuff
And it seemed really cool
The one we went to later
The counter people were there but they just kind of looked at us
And waited for us to make up our mind
And when we went to the
You know the first one
They were like interacting with us
Like I said the one woman was flirting with me, but obviously was just, like, this is how I deal with customers, like that kind of thing.
Yeah.
But it works.
You feel, like, a little more like, I would like to go back there.
So I understand why she did it, but, damn, they got her.
Like, it was very obvious she got got.
With the other one, the old one, it was like old and like it just felt old
and like the people weren't interacting but like did it at least look good or no i mean
it looked good to the point where my and i think this is the problem with the fact if you go to
like a danish town or whatever in the united states like this. So the one we went to later, my dad saw a loaf of like raisin bread with like an icing
drizzle on it.
Yeah.
And it was very obvious that he wanted it.
But like, you know, my dad doesn't say anything.
He never says he will look at a thing, give every intention of wanting it and then be
like, no.
Right.
So when we went to the second one, they had the exact same loaf just with a different wrapper but it looked the exact
same so I feel like in terms of
quality it's all roughly the
same I'm not gonna you know what I mean
the one we ended up
at was like been around since 1981
and the other one was like been around since
1980 so like really
at the end of the day I don't think there's that big of a
deal in actual overall quality.
Yeah.
I get that.
There's only, like, so many ways you can make a pastry as well.
Usually it's, like, if it's fresh is the most, like, appealing thing of, like, ah, we just got this out of the oven.
Versus, like, yeah, these have been here since yesterday.
Right.
this out of the oven versus like,
yeah, these have been here since yesterday.
Right, and I think that's why my mom went with what she knew, because
the place we went to was
very obviously fresh. We ate it
there. It tasted fresh. She
had a bit of mine.
She got a cheese danish. I got a cherry one. My dad
got, I think, apricot, I think?
And he,
you know, we all loved it. It was delicious. So I think
because she saw that it pleased three of us, she was like, yeah, okay, that's
the spot, which I can't fault her for.
That seems accurate.
I would do that.
If I like knew if I had solid evidence, I'd be like, okay, yeah, that made everyone happy.
And so we went there, we bought the same loaf, like the loaf my dad was looking at of that
raisin bread with the icing thing.
I was like, dad wanted that at the other place.
And my mom was like, okay, let's get it.
And of course he was happy.
He didn't admit he was happy,
but I could tell he was happy he got it.
Yeah.
Well, that's a fun trip.
A fun little adventure.
I'm all about fun little adventures.
I would love to have more.
I'm down to do more adventures.
Not necessarily with my parents.
Because, you know, sometimes I want to listen to music
that has a little bass to it
mom that bass is making me rumble I don't like rumbling it was so funny that music was playing
and my mom was like what's that noise I'm like what do you mean she's like it's like making me
uncomfortable I'm like you mean the bass she's like yeah I don't like it I was like mom mom
like it i was like mom mom i uh i have the same thing but with old timey music i don't like that like you know what i mean i did i do know what you mean there's a game that we played uh called
madison on scary game squad and one of the big tropes of a lot of scary games they have, like for some reason a record player that plays like, you're gonna die, baby, like that kind of stuff.
But in Madison, the song they play is, Krendor, if you listen to it, you would lose your mind.
It is like, Blondie is behind you.
And the music is like so great.
It's terrifying.
behind you. And the music is like so great. It's terrifying.
But it is that same
I know exactly what you mean because every time it played
I would physically get uncomfortable.
Yeah. Because it was so
like it pierced my
it was awful. It was awful. It's got that graininess
to it from the record player. Yes.
Yes. And it's just like
to you my doll
I'll be you.
And I'm just, it just makes me depressed.
Like, I think back to the 1940s, like, whenever it was, I'm like, dude, this just makes me want to drink.
Like, no wonder.
My God.
It's really upsetting.
You're right.
And when my grandparents were still alive, we'd be at their house.
And this was my grandparents on my mom's side.
And they would, every once in a while,
play some music that was like their music.
That shit was like
My darling dear
I want to take
you away from the war.
And you're like, the fuck?
Maybe everyone was just depressed, so they made
depressing music. Probably.
That's gotta be what it was.
You go back, it's not just old music.
You got, like, some classical, were like, yo, let's go.
Yeah, of course.
Absolutely.
There's like a period of time where I think the thing was to have a crooner.
But it's not even a crooner.
It's like whatever the precursor of that is.
Because during that time period, there was also jazz and big band.
That existed. also like you know jazz and big band like there's that existed but for some reason there was this weird like old creepy white dude music that was like my darling dear i want to shower you with
roses and but the music in the background is like It is perfectly made for a haunting.
Like, they knew then making it, and a hundred years from now, this is the shit that plays when a ghost kills you.
It sounds like Curly from the Three Stooges.
Just, like, singing the song.
Yes.
It's quite bad.
So, yeah, I guess I can't fault my mom, but I just thought it was very funny that she was like, what's that noise?
And I will say, sometimes the bass is like deep bass.
And so I think I understand what she was referring to because it doesn't sound like bass, like a bass guitar or normal bass.
It's like that bass that's designed to shake your speakers.
You know what I mean?
Right.
But that's like a sound profile yeah like that too is music yeah like i'm not gonna sit here and be like you know the music my grandparents listened to was shit because it sounded weird they clearly
loved it i'm just like i don't know about that's for me i think uh music in general is just kind of
your own personal taste.
I mean, there's also people that are like, oh, man.
I mean, there's probably kids nowadays who are like, I love 80s music.
And then there's probably people from the 80s that didn't like 80s music.
You've got people all over the place.
Yeah, I mean, my dad is a great example of when I was younger and I would listen to ska music, my dad would be into it.
And I never truly understood why,
but then listening to his music
that he loves, like Chicago and stuff like that,
it's like, oh, this is literally horns.
I get why you like that.
I understand that really,
genre music is what it is
and doesn't really change all that much
despite generational differences.
Like, all right, yeah. yeah like even when you listen to you know going back to lizzo as an example some of that
music literally just could easily be transplanted back 30 40 years like it's not truly different
it's just you know the way that music is done be it through synth or be it through like deep bass or be it through like
Drops and shit like it's all it's all you know it's just a different way of expressing yourself in a certain way
Oh my god, which by the way can I just say that I hate when people sample
giant parts of songs
What do you mean by this okay okay so for example i heard this started i heard
like some pop song whatever they took i'm blue like i'm blue and they like made they're like
i'm blue and i feel bad and i'm something i'm sad like i was like what the shit is this
I'm sad like I was like what the shit is this
it just like made me angry
I was like this is like they're
taking the entire chorus
of the original song and
they're just making a new song to it
and then the
it happened again somebody
did uh
it was the weekend he took that
city pop song and he like
sang over it.
And then there's a bunch of people being like, yo, I love this.
This song's great.
It gives me an 80s vibe.
It's because it's a literal City Pop Japanese 80s song that he took.
And I don't mind if they sample little bits of it, but it's like they just sing over the entire song.
It just feels lazy.
I need you to know, I have the perfect example of this.
So we're in the car.
We're driving back.
And on the radio comes Under Pressure.
Oh, yeah.
They did that.
My mom, I swear to God, my mom as the song plays goes,
Ice, ice, baby.
And I laughed so hard.
I was like, are you kidding me?
That's what I'm talking about. exactly oh yeah and then exactly what was
the jessica simpson did the same thing she took the what was that song god uh was it a david bowie
song i remember she took some song and i remember being like oh it's this song and then you just
hear jessica simpson start saying i'm like what it oh, it's this song. And then you just hear Jessica Simpson start saying, I'm like, what?
It's the it's her.
I think I'm in love with you.
It's like.
Did it.
That one.
What?
God, who made that?
She sampled Jack and Diane.
That's it.
Yes, yes, yes.
That song.
Yeah, but she did.
I think that I'm in love with you.
I just hate it.
It just feels lazy.
You know what I mean?
It reminds me.
It feels like the video game company is pumping out like all of duty over and over again.
All these things.
They were like, oh, this worked before.
We'll just do it again.
But like sing something different.
Like I hate it.
The person I think who is criminally responsible for this,
P. Diddy. I don't want to start a beef
with P. Diddy, but I feel like it needs
to be acknowledged. Back when P. Diddy
was putting out music,
I'll Be Missin' You, that song,
he's like, I'll be missin' you.
That song?
He sang, he did that song for the Godzilla
soundtrack that was literally just
Led Zeppelin, and he changed nothing?
Yeah.
He's a criminal mastermind of that shit.
And that is, it happens way too frequently.
And it's almost, they're like one joke away from being Weird Al.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay, like when Weird Al does it, at least you're like, oh, he's doing parodies. He's making goofs and whatever.
But like this, they're making an actual real song, but they're just sampling the entire song.
I don't care if they sample maybe a small clip or a little sound or whatever.
You're like, oh, that's a similar sound.
They do the whole song.
I'm like, what?
Apparently people like it, but of course they're gonna like it because the
songs prior to that were successful like I don't mind like okay well as an EDM person okay like in
trance and stuff people do remixes I'm like I think remixes are different because it's like
they're saying oh hey I like the original and here's my version of that like here's my take
on it like I think that's fine because then you're like still giving credit to the main song you're like oh you could go listen to the original whatever
But this is like they're just like yeah, I'm just gonna sample the whole thing and now it's mine
Like I don't know they take credit for it being success
Yeah, but the success comes from the fact that as you, the song was amazing to begin with. Yeah.
It bothers me.
I can tell.
I've never, this is the most passionate I've ever seen you.
I think it's just because, like, it feels like they're, like, tainting the past.
You know what I mean? Like, it's just, and then it feels like, it's almost like with the, like, speaking of the Jessica Simpson one,
I feel like I heard that before I heard the Jack and Diane song.
And so then, when I hear the Jack and Diane song, I'm like, oh, this is like the Jessica Simpson song.
But no, it was the opposite.
But I didn't know that.
I was, you know, growing up with that music.
And so I heard that, and I was like, what?
Right?
And, you know, you're getting tricked.
It almost feels like you're getting tricked.
That makes me angry.
Like, it's like if somebody took my Lucky Do rap
and then they, like, made their own song out of the Lucky Do rap beat
and then everyone liked it.
I'd be like, that's my Lucky Do rap.
Right?
I almost feel like I should totally just take your Lucky Do song and just be like,
Final Fantasy XIV is the game for me.
What do you do when you play that game?
It's so lucky when you play the game.
A really shitty version.
You're not even singing along to it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But your song is just in the background.
That would be pretty good.
Be like,
I heard you hate this,
so here's my tribute to you.
Yeah, that's...
I don't know.
That's...
I hate it.
It's dumb.
You know what you shouldn't hate?
Yeah.

Alright, let's go chopper. So the Catholic rather than travel. Oh boy traffic is getting crazier
Like you said holidays are picking up people starting to travel again. It's getting wacky wild
Also, if you're gonna travel watch out if you're
walking because of the old plantar fasciitis it hit me it could hit you too plantar fasciitis
back to you what do you mean it hit you what do you mean it hit you i got hit by the plantar
fasciitis what does that mean how do you you just like your foot hurt like the sole of your foot hurt
pretty much uh so i noticed i've been walking a lot more especially because before uh when i had
covid i couldn't really go to the gym or exercise a lot so i just go walking i was like all right
get some walks in so i think a lot of walking and everything has just aggravated my uh my foot
and so if you don't know what plantar fasciitis is let me see if it actually
explains it better on the internet the okay an inflammation of a thick band of tissue that
connects the heel bone to the toes the inflamed tissue runs across the bottom of the foot
so pretty much it just the bottom of your foot hurts a lot of times usually when you walk too
it's usually it's primarily when you walk be honest a lot of times it's also from uh
calf muscle stuff because it all connects i was doing some calf raises so i think that aggravated
it and then uh you gotta do calf stretches loosen that up and uh pretty much just rest and then
might be my shoes too i don't know i. I might need new shoes. We'll see.
It's not a,
it's not apparently a lot of runners and athletes and stuff.
Get it.
Or people that work a lot like standing.
All right.
I mean,
I guess I'm trying to figure out,
I was typing in trying to figure out,
um,
what my,
so,
you know,
like sometimes it hasn't happened.
You know what?
I'm gonna knock on wood like crazy.
It hasn't happened in three years, but every so often I will wake up the next morning from sleep,
and the sole of my foot, I will have sprained or I don't know what I've done to it.
I couldn't tell you.
Like right on the arch.
Yeah, that's plantar fasciitis.
It's usually worse in the morning.
Well, it is.
Here's the thing.
I will always have it.
I'll go to bed, wake up the next day, and I have it.
I'm like, what?
And then for like a week, I can't walk on that leg.
Yeah, that's the plantar fasciitis.
But how did I get it sleeping, Crandall?
How did I get it sleeping?
Actually, I think I was reading that when you sleep, you sleep in a position, your body just naturally, like, makes your foot go to a position that's bad for your arch and everything.
So it makes it worse.
Well, what I have come to understand is that I think I tucked my sheets in too tight.
I was on that, like, I don't know what I learned, but I watched some video online about how to really make your sheets look nice.
Because I got on that whole like I'm going to take care of my living situation.
I'm going to always do the dishes right away.
I'm going to keep my bed nice and clean.
I wanted my home to be nice, right?
And so I got big on this taking care of stuff.
my home to be nice right and so i got big on this taking care of stuff and i think i learned to tuck my my sheets in in a way that was almost military-esque but it looked very nice but it was
very tight and what would end up happening is i think i'd slide into those covers and then probably
would turn in the middle of the night and my foot just wouldn't turn with me because it was tucked
in with those sheets i think maybe that's what happened.
I do not know.
But now when I do my sheets all nice,
before I go to bed,
I untuck the side of the bed that I'm going to sleep on
just so it's loose.
Haven't had that issue for like three or four years.
Wow.
That's pretty cool.
I know.
So maybe that was it.
I have no idea.
But now I think I got plantar fasciitis or some nonsense.
It says morning pain is from the sudden tension of the plantar fascia as it gets stretched after shortening overnight.
Because you're not using it.
And so the muscle shortens in the tendon or whatever.
And then you wake up.
And it's like, what?
Now that makes me think about, like, what if you went into cryo sleep?
Like in the movies, they put someone to cryo sleep, and they wake up, they're like,
oh, thank God, you saved me from cryo sleep.
Would you wake up like...
You probably would.
Like, your entire body's just like...
I'd say so.
Like, everything's all, like, tightened up and stiff.
Yeah.
Obviously, they're not going to show that in a movie or something, but, like, in real life,
yeah, you'd probably wake up and be like, You would be a mess, right?
You'd be a mess.
You'd have to fall out a bit.
That's the old traffic.
All right, let's go to weather.
Weather.
We got weather for you.
Weather.
We got weather for you.
Us.
We got a recommendation for Cooper Petty from Nicholas Barker.
They said a place so barren that they moved underground and became mole men.
That's all I need to say.
Wait, what?
How do you spell Cooper Petty?
Here you go.
Cooper Petty.
Oh, that's not how I thought it was spelled at all.
And it is Australia, no wonder.
Right.
Dude, dude, I can't even begin. When Crandor said that they moved underground and became mole men,
I need you all to, I am looking at images
of Cooper Petty, and it
is 100% mole man.
100%.
It's crazy. I've never seen anything
like this.
This is good enough. Woppy should kick in.

I must stress to you, if you have time, go and just go look at this place.
Because it is fascinating. I guess this, in 1915 in the Outback,
a boy found an opal
gemstone,
and because of that,
people flocked to the area to dig for opal.
And I guess
a town
was born from that.
Because it's so hot,
everyone lives underground now.
For the most part.
And.
That's crazy.
And there's like several.
It says there's a few thousand people that live there today.
And.
You could.
If you want to go there.
Things you can do include.
Literally just digging for opal.
Which I think is fascinating.
Then.
There's also. If you. There's fascinating Then There's also
There's an actual underground hotel
This is the hotel
Here's the link to it
If you want to see it
It's desertcave.com.au
And it's the Desert Cave Hotel
You can literally look at the accommodations
And it's an underground
Here's a bed underground
Oh my god It's absolutely crazy And it's an underground, like, here's a bed underground.
Oh, my God.
It's absolutely crazy.
I've never seen anything like this.
This is amazing.
But what's even crazier is they're like, can't afford a hotel?
Well, there's an underground campground.
Underground.
That you can pay $16 Australian dollars per person to stay at and pitch a tent underground in an abandoned mine.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, look at this. Most residents still live underground.
Some dugouts are absolutely huge.
One was by a handyman named Rod Wells,
which I think is a great underground man name.
It is.
Who has an indoor pool
and an underground beauty parlor
used by his beautician wife.
Oh my god.
They have signs posted everywhere that say
unmarked holes because of
all the holes dug that are massively
deep shafts where it's like
don't run, don't walk
backwards, beware deep shafts. it's like, don't run, don't walk backwards, beware deep shafts.
This is insane.
They've got a golf course, which I think is amazing.
I've never seen anything like this.
This is absolutely insane.
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
This is actually insane.
When you said Mole Man Town, I thought it was going to be like, you know, kind of whatever.
It's almost the opposite of those towns way up in either northern Canada or near the Arctic Circle.
It's like one hotel where everyone lives and then everything around is forest because no one wants to.
Everything's inside.
It's so cold.
This is the opposite.
Everyone's underground because it's so hot. This is the opposite. Everyone's underground
because it's so hot.
Oh my God.
You need to look at this.
It's Crocodile Harry's
underground nest
and bug out.
Yep.
Crocodile Harry's.
Looks like Crocodile Harry's
all right.
Crocodile Harry.
And it just looks like a cave.
There's so many weird things.
This is fascinating.
It looks like people living on Mars.
It really does.
Like, there's this one shot of a generator outside, but everyone's living in the cave.
But there's, like, generators outside.
It looks like some sort of like Space world
It looks like if
The world ended
This is how people would live
There is a van that has a crocodile
With a naked woman
Hell yes
There's actually a shot of someone's home
That has like
It looks like something out of Silent Hill
It is The lower half of Silent Hill It is
The lower half of a woman's body
Glued to another lower half of a woman's body
Making a full human
Absolutely insane
There's uh
This is so
Good day from Crocodile Harry's
And it's a gator miner
I guess
Dude this is fascinating They're like So Kyle Harry's and it's a gator miner, I guess. Yep.
Dude, this is fascinating.
Is there like, where's the closest above ground?
According to this one website, it says 280 miles away.
Oh my God.
That's insane. Yeah.
There is a place called Spiros that looks, or Spiros It looks like a
An actual building, a physical brick building
Outside, and it says
Internet access, video games, DVDs, opal
Souvenirs, jewelry, fossils
So I guess it's a tourist like
This is the last place you'll get before you're underground
Ah, I see
Oh my god, there's an underground church
That shit's wild
Oh
I understand now
This makes perfect sense
So
The reason why it looks so
Spacey to us
Hollywood goes there often
Apparently
Film crews often go there because it looks like
Other planets or post apocalypse
And so
Movies like Pitch Black
Mad Max, Red Planet
Until the End of the World were shot there
As well as Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
So like there's a lot of places were shot there
Because it looks so foreign and weird
And yeah that checks out
It looks insane.
What do you
know? That's crazy.
I love that. Yo, good call
on the suggestion. Yeah.
Hey, good job, commenters.
That
one got me. Usually I'm like,
oh, that's so beautiful. What a nice... This one's
like fascinating. Yeah,
this one is crazy. Oh, and that's the weather. Alright a nice. This one's like fascinating. Yeah, this one is crazy.
Oh, and that's the weather.
All right.
Let's go to sports.
Sports.
Over at the sports desk. We've had a lot of sports happening today.
First, football.
We had the Eagles Texans play in the Eagles one on Thursday.
Then today, the Patriots beat the Colts.
Lions beat the Packers. Chargers beat the Falcons. Jots beat the Colts. Lions beat the Packers. Chargers beat the
Falcons. Jets beat the Bills. Vikings
beat the Commanders. Bengals
beat the Panthers. Jaguars beat the Raiders.
Dolphins beat the Bears. Seahawks beat
the Cardinals. Buccaneers beat the Rams.
And Titans are currently beating the Chiefs.
We'll see how that plays out.
Over in the NBA. Steelers bye week.
Bye week for the Steelers. We're good. We're fine.
For the Steelers. That is true.
Bucs in first place. 9-0 in the East with the Cavs, 8-1 right behind them.
You got the Suns in first place with the Jazz and Grizzlies right behind them over there.
Then in hockey, you got the Bruins in first.
You got the New Jersey Devils in first.
You got the Dallas Stars in first.
And you got the Vegas Golden Knights in first.
And in baseball, the Houston Astros have won the World Series.
So the baseball season is officially over.
Speaking of which, did you see that guy who won, I think, $75 million betting on the Astros?
I did not see that.
What?
Man wins.
I'm going to look this up.
Yeah.
I like how I typed in man wins 75.
Mattress Mac was his name.
Mattress Mac, who looks like an old man,
who would definitely be a gambler.
Yeah.
Had the world's largest legal sports bet payout
when Mattress Mac earned $75 million when the Astros beat the Phillies.
The 71-year-old tweeted a photo, or I guess a photo was tweeted out of him.
Oh my god, Mattress Mac, this is his Twitter account.
The best part is, Mattress Mac is verified.
Twitter account boy the best part is mattress Mac is verified here's the thing in order to win that much money he had to bet like millions well here's the
thing it says according to his thing mattress Mac is the founder of gallery
furniture so yeah he definitely yeah it was like the thing is the Astros were a
favorite to win the World Series so like betting on them was like you know
an obvious choice
but yeah he must have
he must have bet millions to
do that
I wonder what the payout was
or if he had like a certain like oh it's in
this many games or this many you know how
gambling is when it's like it isn't just like who won
it's like how much they win by and what was the
spread of this and like who got the home runs and whatever you know the spread uh this says
in october he had 10 million in bets on the astros to win the world series
so he had 10 million in bets on it that's why he got 75 million yeah $75 million. Yeah. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
What is this?
Mattress Mac said he would use
the $75 million to cover the cost of new promotion
in his Houston area gallery furniture stores
where he said anyone who spends $3,000 or more
on a mattress would get their entire purchase
for free.
What?
That doesn't make any sense. There's got to be a limit.
He said he would use the $75 million to cover the costs
On new promotion
Which said anyone who spends $3,000 or more
On mattresses would get the entire purchase free
That's what it says here
That doesn't make any sense
Maybe people
They already had to buy it on the day
Cause if it means going forward
That's like
I mean like that's That is certainly a lot of money.
But I guess $75 million, I guess.
I don't know.
It's got to be a fine print thing where it's like, you get any furniture you want.
And then it's like up to an amount of like $5,000.
But here's the thing.
This guy, you're right.
This guy has a lot of money to throw around. According to this article, he won $15 million when the University of Kansas won the men's NCAA basketball tournament in April.
But he also lost $10 million in February when he bet that the Cincinnati Bengals would win the Super Bowl.
And he lost $1.5 million on the Kentucky Derby.
Yeah, so, you know, it's the person who's always like, hey, I made a bunch of money
at the casino today, and then it's like, I
also lost a
bunch of money that I didn't talk about.
Yeah, it's like when you go look at dudes
on Reddit who are in that, like,
big gamba thing, you know,
they're all talking about how much money they're putting in the stock market
and what they're investing in stuff,
and then you see, like, oh, I made eight
million dollars today, and everyone's, like, thrilled and losing their mind, but then you see like oh I made 8 million dollars today
And everyone's like thrilled and losing their mind
But then you see they invested like
7.5 million
Oh okay
So you were rich to begin with
Well that changes everything
I never trust any of that
Meanwhile I'm over here like
I put 400 dollars into the stock market
And I'm like I'm not earning any money.
Weird how that is.
Well, most of the time, it's like long-term smart investments.
$400 isn't going to get you anything ever.
Ever.
There is no like, I put $400 in and now I'm a millionaire.
That just doesn't happen.
Yeah.
Most of it's just like you're putting it in so you can take it out like 10 years later.
Yeah.
Or whatever.
Way down the line.
Where am I?
What is this?
That was sports.
All right.
What's our fact of the day?
Fact of the day.
I like how I sang it in that music I said I hate.
Fact of the day.
Yeah, no, I'm aware.
I heard.
Oh, have we done this one? I don. They're facts. I'm aware. I heard. Have we done this one?
I don't think we have.
The majority of people in Iceland believe in elves.
We've never done that, and I absolutely love that fact.
A 2007 University of Iceland survey found that 62% of Icelanders believe in real-life elves. In fact, in 2014,
protesters claimed a proposed highway would destroy an elf church, which to many was just
a gigantic rock. Eventually, the church was moved to a safe place so that it would not
be harmed and the construction continued. Though the rock weighed about 70 tons and required a crane
to move it the preservation of places important to elves is significant to icelanders the country's
elf history dates back to viking era poems from around the year 1000 to icelanders these elves
are not tiny figures who build toys for santa they actually look very much like humans and can range
in size many believe that grave
misfortune will befall those who dare
build an elf territory,
even though it cannot be seen, hence the
church preservation.
I want to let you know
that I went to go look this
up and see like, alright, what do
Icelanders think, right?
I hope they're called Icelanders. Whatever the
case may be, I was like, okay,
what do they think about this?
This is absolutely, like, this is a dude
from Iceland, basically like, look,
to say that Icelanders, that we believe
in elves is not
true. That's not true.
But,
we're unwilling to deny that they
exist, which is the same thing as saying that you believe they exist.
They're like, we don't think they're real, but we won't say that.
No, I'm not saying, you know, I don't think they're real, but I'm not going to say they're not real.
Yeah, he's like, look, we respect the traditions and myths and popular beliefs of our shared history.
And look, we tread lightly when we enter elf territory, but it's not that we believe in elves.
We're just unwilling to say that they didn't exist, which is like the same thing.
A person who's like not really religious, but wants to hedge their bets.
Like, look, I don't believe I'm not saying I believe in God, but I'm not Saying God doesn't exist, like that kind of thing
Yeah
Like, okay, alright, sure
That's really funny
So yeah, elves, I mean, who knows
Maybe they're in Iceland, we don't know
I would love, I would love like a few sexy
Elves to show up and be like, hello
Jesse, my name is Fandanfanel
The elf
Of Glorfindil
I've come for your services to carry the one ring And I'd be like, I'm in, let's fucking go Jesse, my name is Fandan Fanal, the elf of Glorfindel.
I've come for your services to carry the One Ring.
And I'd be like, I'm in.
Let's fucking go.
You literally just want Lord of the Rings elves.
Yeah.
Badly.
Very badly, yes.
All right.
That's your fact of the day.
All right.
What's our big news story of the day?
I was going to do Venomous C cobra missing for six days in Swedish zoo located,
but still free because it tied into the Nick Cage thing.
That's very funny.
I love that it's located, but they're like, we don't want to mess with it.
That guy's venomous.
Then there's young bird may have set nonstop distance record by flying from Alaska to Australia, which we were just talking about Australia.
Oh, my God.
That's amazing. How do you do that?
I don't know. Let's find out.
Okay. Canberra,
Australia. A young bar-tailed
godwit appears to have set
a non-stop distance record
for migratory birds by flying at
least 13,560
kilometers, or
8,435 miles
from Alaska to the Australian state of Tasmania the bird was
tagged as a hatchling in Alaska during the northern hemisphere summer a tracking GPS chip and a tiny
solar panel that enabled an international research team to follow its first annual migration across
the pacific ocean bird life Tasmania con convener Eric Wohler said because the bird was so young, its gender wasn't known.
Aged about five months, it left southwest Alaska at the Yuko Kuskoquim Delta on October 13th
and touched down 11 days later at Anson's Bay on the island of Tasmania's northeastern tip on October 24th,
according to data from Germany's Max Planck Institute for Ornithology.
The research has yet to be published or peer-reviewed.
The bird started on a southwestern course towards Japan,
then turned southeast over Alaska's Aleutian Islands,
a map published by New Zealand's Pukoro
Miranda Shorebird Center shows.
I feel like this article is just trying to get me to read
crazy names and words. I'm here for it.
I'm here for it. The bird
was again tracking southwest when it flew
over near Kiribati
and New Caledonia,
then past the Australian
mainland before turning directly west
for Tasmania, Australia's most southerly state
the satellite trail showed it covered
13,560 kilometers without stopping
whether this is an accident
whether the bird got lost
or whether this is part of a normal pattern of migration
for the species
we still don't know
said Waller who's part of the research project
Guinness World Records
lists the longest recorded migration
by a bird without stopping for food or rest as 12 200 kilometers or 75 80 miles by satellite
tag mail bar tailed godwit flying from alaska to new zealand that flight was recorded in 2020 as
part of the same decade-old research project which also involves china's feudan university new zealand's
mass say university and the global flyway network the same bird broke its own record with a 13,000
kilometer 8100 mile flight on its next migration last year but guinness has yet to acknowledge
that feat waller has said researchers did not know whether the last bird or the latest bird known by its satellite tag flew as one or part of a flock.
There are so few birds that have been tagged, we don't know.
It may be that half the birds that do the migration from Alaska come to Tasmania directly rather than through New Zealand.
Or it might be 1%.
Or it might be that this is the first it's ever happened.
Adult birds depart Alaska
earlier than juveniles, so the
tagged bird was unlikely to have followed
more experienced travelers south.
Willer hopes to see the bird once wet weather
clears in the remote corner of Tasmania
where it will fatten up, having lost
half its body weight on the journey.
Oh my god. Can you imagine doing something
where you lose half your body weight? the journey. Oh my God. Can you imagine doing something where you lose half your body weight?
I wish.
I'm looking at a map right now, and it's fat.
Apparently this happens frequently, and the bar-tailed godwit is known for this.
And I guess they have a southward migration, which is they go from either their breeding
range, which is way far north.
We're talking the northern part of Alaska, the northern part of Russia. And then they fly way far south.
Literally, they leave Russia and Alaska, fly all the way south to New Zealand, Tasmania, Australia, chill there,
Tasmania, Australia, chill there, and then migrate their ass all the way back up past Japan, past China, back up to either Alaska or Russia, and do it all over again.
Oh my God.
Crazy.
Crazy.
These birds are flying around like airplanes.
There's this one path they have listed
where this bird goes from New Zealand to Japan
and then Japan to Alaska.
Oh, my God.
That's like the amount of...
That's so crazy to me.
That is crazy.
They got giant beaks.
Probably like snap up, like get fish out of the water maybe like
oh yeah it does look like a spear yeah like your fish that's fascinating that's great what a cool
bird yeah that guy's living life for himself i love that that guy's like hey i don't need to
stay here i'm gonna go on this bird and i we relate to each other he's like i need to get
the hell out of here.
I'm going.
I'm going away for a little bit.
Where are you going?
I'm going to New Zealand.
I'm like, oh, okay.
Yeah, and then you spear a few fish.
Yeah.
I use my tongue to grab a few fish.
Yeah.
And then I go home.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Perfect.
