In the morning.

Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. In 4-hour recording studios. Recording. Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Cacks and Credits in the morning. Woo! Whoa, whoa. Every once in a while I got a woo. morning. Woo! Whoa. Every once in a while, I got a woo. That was some forced excitement is what that was. Every once in a while, you got a forced excitement woo. Are you held at gunpoint right now as Toast there?

You're like, you're going to woo. Damn it. No, it's, you know, it's a, I'm kind of tired, but I'm also energized. I think I need coffee. I feel that. That is, that is every single day for the last 12 years. That checks out. Yeah.

Uh, yeah, I don't know. It's a, uh, uh, brain. Yeah. There's that tired part coming in. Yeah. I need coffee. Listen, that is what I mean. All I got is woo, and then my brain just emptied out. Like the tank

just emptied. It was the last desperate cry of a brain who was like, I just want to sleep, bro. I didn't even sleep. Let me rest. I slept fine. I just need caffeine. Maybe it's all I didn't go to the gym today. I bet that even sleep bad. Let me rest. I slept fine. I just need like caffeine. Maybe it's all. I didn't go to the gym today. I bet that's what it is.

Maybe. Maybe your body's like where's a fit power hour? Yeah, I need my fit power hour. That's really what it is. That's really what it is. Maybe you don't need caffeine. Maybe you need to go bench 200 pounds.

That's true. I also can't bench 200 pounds it's too much you know what i was making a guess made an educated guess figured you you you know what what are we at 150 uh honestly i haven't i actually like done bench pressing since i hurt my neck and i'm scared to do it again. Alright, well. So now I just do the chest press. I do a lot of lighter weights, but more reps. That's my thing. I do lighter weight, more rep. So, plus, you know,

if you go slow, and you do the right, what's it called, posture, like the right, whatever it is, right? You get better effectiveness because you're doing doing it properly some people just want to lift the heaviest thing and they don't even do it properly are you telling me when you go to the gym those people that do like the crazy workouts like swing wildly on the handlebars and like you tell me those crossfit people are doing it wrong? Yes. What?

In fact, one of my friends who does CrossFit ended up needing back surgery because he got a slipped disc or whatever it is. I'm obsessed with the fact that all the data shows

science, literal hypothesis theory, results, experiment. All of it shows that if you're doing like crazy weight things and you're swinging wildly and like in the end, it hurts you. And for some reason, they've been convinced that it's good for you. And I have no idea how or why no one's like it's like when in the 60s and 70s they were like cigarettes they're amazing even though all the evidence showed that it definitely was killing you people are like well you know i've been told it's very good to ease your nerves like what people can get talked into anything well the thing is i feel like people like it because, I mean, it's essentially you're just working out, right?

And working out is good. The problem is when you're just going crazy with it because you don't have time to, like, make sure you got proper posture to make sure you're in correct form. That's what I was thinking. If you got correct form and you're doing everything right and you're, like, going all out, like, you're better off just taking it slow and just doing it properly and not going wild. It that's uh like there's something else behind that you

know what i mean like some sort of aggravation or you got something you got to get out the rage you're like i don't know like a frustration of some sort i'm all i'm saying is it seems like there's a lot of built-up sexual tension there and they're trying to release it while like throwing themselves at a machine and that's not what it's for y'all it's not what it's for yeah i mean if there's anybody out there doing crossfit comment and tell us why you enjoy it are you a person that needs that high intensity whatever and is your body have you hurt yourself numerous times doing it like i can't i can't watch people you know there's pull-ups and then there's whatever the hell a crossfit pull-up is have you hurt yourself numerous times doing it? Like, I can't watch people. You know, there's pull-ups.

And then there's whatever the hell a CrossFit pull-up is. Because that's the craziest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Oh, yeah. It's wild looking. And I have to imagine you would get hurt doing that. Sometimes I see that and the way the body's moving, I'm like, no, it's not meant to move like that, my friend. Yeah.

Yeah, honestly, I would probably die doing CrossFit. I would break something, throw something out, strain. Something would go wrong. I mean, I can't do CrossFit. There's just too much of me. But the thing that we're saying is, while we mock you, CrossFitters, just let us know what the hell is going on with you yeah what's happening what's going on with you it's like me you know go to the gym i got my airpods in as one does uh you know listen to my music i go for like

a little walk then i do my my weight stuff whatever i'm working on that day and then i do another walk maybe i'll do like some yoga stretch or whatever it's like you know 30 to 45 minutes and then I'm like all right I'm good that's it it's nothing crazy but I don't need anything crazy that's good I mean you're maintaining right you are at a weight muscle mass I think looks really good on you. That's a strange thing to say. But yeah, you're at the maintain stage. You don't need anything else unless you want to get bulked out.

I don't really want to get bulked out. I'm happy being a toned stick man. That's all I want. Toned stick man. Toned stick man. That sounds like a Kojima character. Tone Stickman. It does.

Did you do your exercise? I did, but I've been extra exercising this week. You ready for this nonsense? All right. Yeah. So remember last week I said, boy, sucks the elevator. My apartment complex is broken because someone broke it. Well, all week we were getting back and forth messages from the apartment complex.

And they were like, well, the people should be out here on Tuesday to fix it. And I was like, all right, cool. They did not fix it Tuesday. They did not fix it Wednesday. They did not fix it Thursday. They did not fix it Wednesday They did not fix it Thursday Mind you, in order to do anything I now, again

To reach my car, I have to go down seven stories Or up seven stories And then to go outside Or to like do anything I'm doing five stories at a time So I am up and down stairs all week By Friday my knees hurt

I was like oh oh, my God. So then Friday night, we all get a, this past Friday, we all get an email. And they're like, so good news and bad news. Turns out the doors, even though they can't be replaced because they are custom made. They can't be replaced because they are custom made. We did find the people who custom made them, and they're going to remake the doors and bring out welders and stuff, and that should all be done this coming week. I was like, oh, thank God. Okay.

And they're like, everything should be wrapped up by Friday or Saturday. I'm like, no! So I have to do another full week of this. I went and saw my trainer, and he was like, bro, you're doing really crappy on these squats and stuff. I'm like, my man, my knees hurt so – I've never felt like old man knee pain. Right. It's never been a problem. Like, I've never had that. I have it now.

I'm telling you. I was like, bro, I can't today. He's like, what do you mean you can't? He's like, you're the guy who's always like, break me. I'm like, I'm it now. I'm telling you. I was like, bro, I can't today. He's like, what do you mean you can't? He's like, you're the guy who's always like, break me. I'm like, I'm already broken. I got nothing in the tank, man. I'm already broken. So he's like, all right, let's just focus on upper body today.

I was like, please and thank you. It was bad, dude. And so I've just like, oh, shit. Now it's like floor four and I'm like, so it's like not bad. I'm improving, but it's not an improvement I want. I don't want to ever do it again. I absolutely hate it. It sucks so much ass.

Oh, it's terrible. So and everyone's like, it'll be good for you. I'm like, I'm sure it's good for me, but let me, you know, I get upstairs after I work all day and I go home. It's dark and it's nighttime and no one's awake and I'm walking up these

damn dark ass stairs. When I get up, I just like sit on my couch just like, I'm too damn fat like oh my god which is it's weird because it's translating into i don't know what's going on i don't know if this is like a this happens every once in a while where i have like a i'm too damn fat and i like today for lunch i went and got a sandwich and i have like a I'm too damn fat. And I, like today for lunch, I went and got a sandwich and I ate like half the sandwich.

It was like, I'm a fool. What the hell's going on? Like, that sandwich was delicious, but I don't want any more. And I'm like, is this how thin people think all the time? I was like, wow, this is messing with my brain. I was like, whoa, hold on. Hold on now.

You telling me I don't have to eat the whole thing? I was like, wait, hold on. Hold on now. You telling me I don't have to eat the whole thing? I was like, wait, whoa, whoa. That's true. That's where I am. I tend to only eat half the sandwich, but today I also got a sandwich, but I ate the whole thing. What kind of sandwiches did you get? It was like grilled chicken with cheddar cheese, avocado, tomato, onion. Oh.

Oh. Yeah, it was pretty good. Love a grilled chicken sandwich. I got a, so there's this place nearby, Mendocino Farms. Yeah, I remember. It's like all right. It's pretty good. I've been there.

But they allow you to make your own sandwiches. And so I don't want to, they have like fancy-ass sandwiches. I today was like, well, I'm going to go to the office. I'm going to get some work done. So I just stopped by there, grabbed a sandwich, and I decided to have them make me a – again, every once in a while I get on with lettuce, the tomato, like whatever the heirloom tomato things they have, the bacon they have, which is like, you know, that like douchey bacon. And then like sprouts and jalapeno and like a bunch of different like cucumber like a bunch of different veggies and stuff on there and then the thinnest layer of mayo just like a little tiny bit and it was delicious

and i loved it and i was having a good time and yeah i took a bite of the second half of that sandwich was like i'm full i got it do i put this in the fridge? What do I do with this? That's where I was. I was like, man, what's the matter with me? I should have eaten the whole. I was like, I'm starving. And then I wasn't. And I'm like, is this thin people?

Like, what? Is this thin people? Is this thin? And I'm pointing at the butterfly. Yeah. I mean, that place does have good sandwiches. Yeah. That's just why I was like, I wish I could eat all of it.

So now I got a half with one bite sitting in the fridge. I'm like, I guess maybe later I'll have some of it. I don't know. I guess I'm working out a lot lately, and I guess it's like fact. I don't know. I don't know if it's mental. Again, I don't know if it's mental again I don't know what it is with that said when I like was in my big workout phase oof before I moved to LA which would have been ten years ago when I was

like my big workout phase then um this is kind of how it was as I would eat like I try to eat meals and stuff but I'd be like I'm full I don't want to eat this thing and it was crazy so I would eat, like, I'd try to eat meals and stuff, but I'd be like, I'm full. I don't want to eat this thing. And it was crazy. So I don't know. Maybe it's happening again. Maybe every 10 years. Every 10 years. Every 10 years, the curse begins anew.

I have no clue. We'll see. Speaking of time. Uh-oh, yes. So I wrote down something, because i feel like it's something i hear all the time all right okay and it's we're in december now right yes we are and so i always hear people go like can you believe it's already december can you believe it's already christmas can you believe it's already insert thing and i feel like i've done it too and i was trying to piece it together like why why do we say that

because i mean part of me can't believe it is christmas right because like it's been a year so i'm like yeah i can't believe it but like. But I think it's just because you get busy doing stuff, and then you're distracted, and before you know it, the months just go by, and then you're like, whoa, it's Chris. I guess that's why it happens. Well, I think both of us specifically can relate, and I think most people who have very hectic jobs where you kind of do the same. I don't want to say streaming is monotonous,

but if you're a streamer or you you're doing the same activity day in day out you're doing your stream you're doing your thing and then you're done if you're a teacher I imagine it's the same vibe having been one right if you're working at the McDonald's we all get caught up boy this is about to get philosophical we all get caught up in sort of the

everyday monotony of existence in order to pay bills or to take care of whatever we need to take care of. That when major things happen, we can't believe that suddenly we're there. Because there's hallmarks in every year. And if they weren't there, I wonder – or if there weren't months. If we just take out months or we take out the concept of, and it's just like there's night and then daytime, and you know, I wonder if we would think about it that much, or if we would just keep doing the slow roll down life as we work our ass off every single day, right?

I don't know, man. It does seem like it's one of those things where we're all so busy with doing things that truly fundamentally don't matter, but we have to do them in order to live. Right. And so we get caught up in that, and then we just, all of a sudden, it's Christmas, and you're like, wow, I can't believe we're here. Yeah. I mean, that does check out.

I can see that being the reason. I mean, it seems like people do it all the time. Like, oh, can you believe it? I think especially during the holidays is when people have like oh can you believe it's halloween or like can you believe it's thanksgiving you believe it's christmas because then i don't hear people be like oh can you believe it's march yeah it doesn't happen as much and i guess because the holidays are such a like monumental part of the year I guess Well yeah there's so much Attachment and memory

Associated with them From your childhood and honestly I know it's Kind of a meme with people who Watch my stupid content but I keep talking About the fact that the older you get Things seem to move faster But really in reality it's cause you're So busy with things and you're doing more things in a day.

And the things you're doing are more monotonous. But also, as you age, your eyes see at a slower frame rate. And so everything seems faster, which is absolutely true, which is weird. So when you're younger, you pick up more information because you see things at a faster rate, frame rate. That's crazy. And so, yeah, there's like a weird, I'm not sure what, I don't know when this all changes. There's this weird thing where when you're young, and I think everyone can agree, when you're young, based on all these different factors, life seems so slow. Like from, I'll say from 10 to 18, seemed forever.

It seemed like so long. And now a year flies by. Yeah. And I'm sure that has to do with, again, you have your job and you have bills to pay and you have stuff to do. And you're spending at least eight hours every day working on stuff and school while it is educational is mostly also socializing and preparing you to talk to other people and make your way in the workforce and uh you know socialize and find a place in society and be a part of civilization that kind of stuff yeah yeah most jobs are kind of just like do your work go home make dinner go

to bed yeah and that's your day yeah it's uh yeah it's i can see that and it just kind of i mean it's kind of like a just an adult school in a way because it's like go to school do your whatever do your homework do it again and it's like your homework becomes like finances and taxes and like you know managing other parts of your life and then you're going to school this becomes going to your job and being like all right you got to do this thing do that you know talk to these people like It does become just like a monotonous punch in, punch out, at least for some jobs. There's plenty of crazy jobs as well. Sure, I think that's why people take those crazy jobs

because they simply cannot bring themselves to do the monotony of what most work actually is. Even fun jobs like what we do, it's still you have a schedule and you do the thing and you're there and you clock in you clock out and you you you know it might be we might play something different but the objective is we have to create something that is familiar and welcoming so we can't get crazy all the time you know what i mean yeah uh it's you know it's about mixing it up i think it's one of the biggest things like Like, for example, I do my sub goals.

That keeps it live. You know, we've been reading Garfield comics. Her sub goal. See, you're good at this. You're very good at this. I am like, I'll show up whenever I show up. So, like, I don't know. Yeah.

Well, I mean, I think you still consider yourself more of a YouTube person. I don't know what I consider myself. To be the luckiest man in the world. No, you don't. You had like five calendars at one point. I have no calendars now i have given up i've literally given up i am over everything i did there was a time period where i was like i'm gonna change my life and be better and do all this stuff and now i'm like well

chaos is where i thrive so So here we are. Yeah. Man, I think it don't matter what you do. It's all about just trying to create your own fun in that thing, right? Whether you work in an office or work at a construction site or in a hospital, like wherever, you know, you got to, like, make your own fun doing the things. I there's streamers and youtubers too are you like oh man i wish i could do that and they're just like hey guys i didn't want to stream today but i gotta because so here we go right and you can even if they're not saying that specifically you can tell like wow this person does not want to be here right yeah yeah so and and i think it comes down to again that sort of we are fortunate that we have a success that allows us to do the

things we want without punishment i think for the vast vast majority of streamers but i would say people in the workforce they have to do what they're told to do or what they believe is the right path which for a lot of people can lead to burnout very quickly and it's monotonous and it's it sucks so i think that you know we come from aged place of being like we've been here long enough That we earned our dues and we're We're good oh yeah We also got in early when this Was the wild west this is like when you Roll into a wild west town and the mayor

Is like the dude with the pocket watch And the hat and he's like we're the Mayors we've been here already We staked our claim we own the town And you're rolling up trying to become like the gunslinger And we're like well good luck It sucks but that's truly what it is yeah you're just you've been there so long you're just you've like fossilized yourself yeah in the uh whatever you're doing it's just like ah that's them they've been here that's that's absolutely true when i talk to

people if your name comes up or if people are talking about me and my name comes up, everyone knows who we are. It might not be like the young 21-year-olds. They have their own clique and they're starting out fresh and stuff. But, like, for the most part, when we're in our circles, everyone knows who we are. Like, oh, Crandor? Yeah, we know Crandor all right it's like oh jesse yeah i know jesse that kind of thing is because we just been here long enough it's not because we're superstars it's just we've been around so long that people know who we are and

what we do and that we have that privilege yeah no it's like i said i was always the kyle corver of youtube you're there to help. Yeah. Kyle Korver. Let me just break it down for you. Started playing in the NBA in 2003. And he retired in 2020. Dude played like 20 years in the NBA. And he would just consistently come in and make threes. That's all he did.

He didn't do anything else. But in his prime, he could do a little more. He'd play some defense to be out there. But then by the end, it's like, put him in. He did a three. Like, yep, that's what he does. And then even the Zoomers are like, oh, yeah, Kyle Korver. I've seen him.

He's been around a long time. Right? That's what I was. Consistent 9.3 rebound rebound one assist per game player yeah you're not out there making millions but you're in the game and that's what matters yeah that's what it's all about it really is and i think it comes with a place of appreciation like at a certain point you're like i can't believe i'm here outlasting all those people we started with yeah there's a lot of those names that we started with i would 90 of them this is no joke i have in

front of me a card i went i might have told you this i went out with um a good friend who used to work at maker and he was hey, I found all of these cards that are from when Maker Studios used to hand out collectible cards at PAX. Oh, I remember that. Dude, I have every single one now, so I found my collection

because I had like three or four that was us, and then I found his. I dropped some right there. And then I found his, and I'm telling you On here there's like all the Minecraft YouTubers that no longer exist That probably made a million dollars And then were like I don't need to do this anymore

There's people like Oh my god I don't want to name names Certain YouTubers that Decided to change their entire persona from gaming to like travel vlog and then they vanished. There's people on here that are like groups of players that I've never heard of before. There's, you know, like just I'm trying to find you're on here, which is amazing. The best part is it's you.

It's a poorly drawn you with your dragon plushie. Yeah, I remember. It's so good. Me, for some reason, I have a giant puppet Jesse in the photo with me. I have no idea why. It's so good. Like, there's all these different people on here. Half of them are gone, and half of them are people like Peanut Butter Gamer, right?

Like, people that are like us, that are here forever and probably will have to kick us off to make us. Yeah. And that's super interesting to me because when we were coming up there were all these big names that are people that were like, damn, I wish I could be like them. They've got 500,000 subscribers. Oh, that's crazy.

And then they're gone. Yeah. And somehow we're still doing this. I have no idea why. It feels like one of those, like, I got no place to go. Yeah. We have to.

Yeah. Man, it is. I think part of it is people just you know they get bored like they don't want to play games anymore they want to try something new but then a lot of people are like I don't care about them for doing that thing I like when they play games or like even some people there's probably people are like oh I like when you just talk

I don't like when you play games I know that's a big like just chatting thing like there's plenty of people do just chatting and then they're like alright we're gonna play a game now and then it's like I don't care anymore that is I don't care anymore. That is... I don't want to show any behind the scenes stuff of what we do. But I'm gonna.

One of the things I've learned is that if you start your stream with just chatting and you just talk for like an hour with your audience, they're more inclined to stick around and watch you play the game. Rather than you just start playing the game. That's true. And I think it's because most people, when they watch a streamer,

they're really watching for the streamer. The game can be anything, right? Unless you're one of those people that's like, oh, I watch only Among Us streams or Fortnite streams. You have a specific thing you watch. But most people, when they follow a streamer, they do it because they like the person. And I think that's, first, beautiful, but also super interesting

and probably useful information for everyone out there trying to stream. Yeah. No, I've always said that. That's part of the basis of non-content, if you will, is that people want to watch their favorite entertainers just do anything. Like, literally anything. People try to be like, what if we put them on a show? All these companies would be like, what if we put Dodger

and Sam and Peanut Butter Gamer on a show and they play this game with playing cards and I'm like, dude, nobody cares. You can just have them eat cereal. You know what I mean? Just film them eating cereal at a table. People watch it. 100%.

Genuine interaction is what people care about yeah that's like that's all they want that's what i care about i wouldn't watch them play some board game they were like if they were just hardcore selling out i'd be like this is stupid but if they were sitting around eating cereal i'd be like this is content exactly exactly that's what it's and so you know i always thought that was that was kind of the basis of my non-content stuff is capturing people in weird moments with weird settings. Right. Oh, I'm aware.

I'm aware. When we were in elevator, you threw a water ball at me. I know. Yeah. That video still got more views than any maker studio. I'm telling you. But, you know, I think something like that is also just chat like i swear sometimes sam will stream and i'm like all right what's sam doing he's just chatting and he's just like oh

it's me and then he's like all right let's play a fighting game and i'm like i don't give a shit and i just click off like like as soon as he swaps like a game i either care about the game and i'll watch or i don't care about the game and i'm like, well, I'm not playing or I'm not watching. I'm not watching him play this. Oh, yeah. And you can see it number wise. You can see when you start a thing and you're just talking and then when you start playing a game, you'll see a drop.

Yeah. But the thing is, the hopeful idea is you have enough people that will stick around based on the start to justify. And that's like the vibe you have to. Again, it's all about these weird min max and algorithm playing and like figuring out how people work there is a secret to this job that i think a lot of people don't quite follow or understand when they start and i don't think either of us did we just did it because it was like fun to do but after a while you realize you know the

matt pattening of the Internet where everything's an algorithm. Well, I mean, even back in the day, I thought it was fun trying to play the algorithm because like as somebody who only. I didn't even know. What do you mean back in the day? When did you? Whoa, whoa, whoa. I didn't even know there was an algorithm to like 2017. No. Well, like back then I'd make my wow video and I'd be like, I'm going to call this the unreleased Cataclysm trailer because people would be like, unreleased? I've never seen this. And they'll click on it. And so when you searched WoW Cataclysm,

my video was like top three when you searched WoW Cataclysm. You're absolutely right. That's genius. So I was like, back then, that's how I was playing the alley. I was like, dude, there's no competition. I didn't do that at all. I run the whole market. So that's why. I didn't the alley. I was like, dude, there's like no competition. I run the whole market. So that's why.

I didn't do that. I was like, zone aerial fly footage. Jesse Cox. Oh, MFG cataclysm. Yeah. That's like what my, I sucked. I don't think I've ever been good at this. I'm going to be honest with you.

I think I'm terrible at this. Yeah. I don't know what you're been good at this. I'm going to be honest with you. I think I'm terrible at this. Yeah, I don't know what you're doing. But that was my thing. Like, I enjoyed doing that and seeing, like, where I ranked and all this stuff. But nowadays, like, I don't care because there's so much saturation that it's like, you know, it's just a blend of people with their faces being like, and that's all it is, just people with their faces being like,

you won't believe what this thing did or this what. Wow, this WoW expansion does this. It's like their face being like. Most of those like faces are, those are videos done by people that already have a huge audience and they're letting them know that that's them. You know what I mean? The face lets them know it's them. Well, yeah, that's true. I get it.

But I will say that what you talked about has not changed A great example is That dude's video that was Wow's darkest secret That is the perfect example Of crendoring your way To getting views That dude named this thing like

It's the darkest secret of wow And then spent all this time and energy making this video That is literally the biggest goof there ever was and i i love i love that video it's so well made and it's so good and i cannot believe that it i i got got and i'm so happy i did i love stuff like that yeah i got got two from that that was crazy i love more of that, please, internet. Those are the videos. That reminded me of 2010 YouTube when weird videos were posted that are like, the government is watching.

And you're like, what is this? Yeah. Yeah, that's the old wild west of the internet. That's where it's at. Now it's just everything is, like I said, so oversaturated. Like you go on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, there's, like, shorts popping up. There's, like, shorts with the clickbaity, like, this person does what? And, like, this person does this thing, and you won't believe it.

And it's, like, it's literally everywhere. I'm literally just going to YouTube right now, incognito. This is what's on the front page. An ad for the Mario movie trailer. We thought this was impossible And it says how That's the thumbnail says how And it's the exact same image

Except one is a little bit lighter than the other And then another one is Sniper Wolf Doing the exact same react face But it's reacting to TikToks Right Uncle Roger who is everywhere right now. Mr. Beast.

And Mr. Beast has like five videos on here. And then a bunch of trailers. And then, for some reason, the Fireplace 10-hour Ultra 4K HD Burning Log, which honestly is probably the best thing on there. And Lo-Fi Hip Hop Radio Beats Girl. But everything else is the exact... I'm looking at this.

More Sniper Wolf. More Mr. Beast. I keep forgetting his damn name. And that's... I mean, I guess they haven't figured out. I never will, but my god. It sucks. I think part of the problem is like back in the day, I would do this stuff, right? And you're like, oh, yeah, I figured it out.

But now people have figured it out so well that everybody does that and it's oversaturated with that so now to stand out it's almost like you have to do the opposite but you can't just do the opposite because it doesn't it's the opposite would be something that completely doesn't work and people don't like so you have to do that but in a slightly different way i think that's one of the hardest things yeah and there's a lot, like, I think the reason why I'm seeing so many Mr. Beast is that he has so many

channels. So it isn't just Mr. Beast, it's, I'm looking at Mr. Beast Reacts and Mr. Beast, and then like, the man has so many ways to put himself on the front page. It's very, very smart, but it's also just like, what do you even... How would you even...

Looking at this, how do you even get on the front page? Everything on here is either a mainstream media thing or one of the top 50 YouTubers. I don't know how you would get on here. That's how you get on there. You figured it out just now. Just be

the best? Great. I'll get on that. I'll get on there you figured it out just now just be the best great all right i'll get on that i'll get on that all right thanks for helping me out pal hey no problem i mean it's true that's all you got that's all i gotta do it's like when ninja was like all you gotta do is get the fortnight to put your name in the game so so so simple so there you go and that's why christmas feels like it's right around the corner exactly well you know what with the holidays right around the corner it is a great time to get yourself some no nonsense food in your in your life because, my goodness, you're going to be thinking about cooking and all the holiday celebration stuff and family.

Oh boy, traffic is holiday traffic-y. It's a lot of cars, a lot of stuff going on. I was actually going through the last episode to find somewhere for the weather, and someone said, this is the first Black Friday episode I've heard where they don't talk or mention the day at all. But I did mention it.

I said I went to Target on Black Friday, so that is incorrect. Back to you. Thanks, Grendor. Actually, Black Friday kind of sucked this year it has for the last few years that's what i'm saying like even though i like the the whole point is that it used to be the one day right it was this is the day that's crazy all these deals happen on this day and then they realized wow we could extend this and make even more money so then black friday

became like the whole weekend and then it became like a week. And then it became like two weeks. Now they're like Black Friday is all month long. It's like, okay. And now they've changed it to the point where a lot of businesses, because it's the day after Thanksgiving, they now give people Thanksgiving and the day after Thanksgiving off. And Black Friday is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

And then the weekend. Yeah. Plus, it doesn't really exist in some places yeah a lot of it's just online now too so it's like everybody goes online and looks then there's like cyber monday but like cyber monday is already people are shopping online anyway so it's just an extended black friday it's just it's it's not the same you know and you know it's probably a good thing that it's not the same right but for us in terms of content it's a terrible thing yeah terrible for content we need that good goofs like

if people aren't you know it's terrible yeah it's terrible when people are fighting over a 50 tv but in terms of content that is prime content it is and we don't have it anymore, so why talk about it? Yeah. Yeah. So there you go. That's the traffic. All right. Let's go to weather.

Ooh, weather. We got a weather request for Jan Mayen. What? It sounds like a name. It's a small island in the middle of the Arctic Ocean that's controlled by Norway it's half a military base half a weather station there is

also no permanent population Jan Mayen is that how it's Jan M-A-Y-E-N Jan M-A-Y-E-N Jan Mayen Jan Mayen Jan Mayen? Jen Mayen? Jen Mayen?

We are awful at this. Wow, that is a small island. Yeah, no, this is a small. I guess it is kind of big. It's just way north. I don't know why anyone would ever live there. It's like, it's Arctic Circle north. I guess that's why it's a military base.

Yeah. Well, it's 32 degrees there, Fahrenheit. Tonight will be 29. Windy with afternoon snow showers. It feels like 17 with that wind coming in at 30 miles an hour. Woo! Humidity 68%. Pressure 30.44 inches.

Visibility 10 miles. UV index 0 of 10 with a waxing gibbous moon phase. 22 on the dew point. Looking at the old 10-day here. We've got Monday 31 with a lot of wind. Tuesday 25 with snow. Tuesday 25 with snow. Wednesday 25 with snow. Thursday 34 with snow.

Friday 34 with snow. And then just a couple partly cloudy days in the 30s and then more 30s with snow. So it's pretty much what you would expect. I love researching things like this. In the winter, roughly 18 people will spend time on the island. In the summer, about 35 people. They'll switch out personnel. They'll do all that stuff.

Like you said, it's a base. But my favorite part is it only has one exploitable natural resource gravel what if your natural resource is gravel that's a shitty place that place sucks that is can you imagine you're like yeah we have we're really well known for this cool resource like oh, what is it? Gravel. Gravel. There's a picture of this guy sitting on an iceberg. That's kind of neat. Yeah, I'm looking. There's an old map on Wikipedia.

Nordsy or whatever it's called. And it looks like it's from the, it says 1590s to 1720s, I guess. I don't see. It's the golden age of Netherlandish cartography. But looking at the way they drew this map, the whole damn thing's mountains. Yeah.

It's like all mountains, the island. And then it's just way north. And then one of those mountains is a volcano. Although, maybe they do this and we just don't see it, but why can't they harvest the geothermic power of the volcano? I don't know. I'm also not. If I was going to have a villain base, this would be the spot.

That's true. Maybe there is a villain base there, and that's why they don't say anything. You never know. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe. Maybe they're like, oh, it's a military base there, and that's why they don't say anything. You never know. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe. Maybe they're like, oh, it's a military base. Wink. There you go.

And there's a guy petting a cat in there. Yeah. Look at that. I linked it. Look at that signpost. Yo. This is a billion signs. Billion directions.

Yeah, it's probably because they got nothing to do there. For people who are curious, you know like how you see the signposts and it will say like, I don't know, maybe you're in New York and it will say Paris and then it will say X number of miles away. And it's just there kind of as a, I don't know, like a fun thing to do. Imagine that except it's every place in the world, I think, and all of these arrows pointing. And most of them probably don't have actual distance

it's just probably well we're stuck on this damn island and again if you're curious in this photo most of its gravel i'm looking at it this photo all gravel oh yeah it is that's a lot of gravel yeah oh my god if you scroll down a little bit You know that sign post there's another one next to it That I guess is the continuation Oh yeah I see it Look at that Actually I think it's just a tree trunk

What's even crazier is if you keep going down There's like one photo of ice That looks like it has a I don't even know some old god in it Yeah what the shit? What is going on on this island? This place is crazy. Although, I guess, you know, nature, man.

Nature's crazy. Some places look amazing. Yeah. I never want to go there, but it looks amazing. Yep. That's the weather. All right. Let's go weather. All right. Let's go to sports.

Sports. We had football today over in sports. Football or foodball? Well, I guess both. In football, we had Bills beating the Patriots on Thursday. We had the Packers beating the Bears. That was fun. Steelers beating the Falcons.

Vikings beating the Jets. Lions beat the Jaguars.ers beating the Bears. That was fun. Steelers beating the Falcons. Vikings beating the Jets. Lions beat the Jaguars. Eagles beat the Titans. Browns beat the Texans. Commanders beat the... Oh, no. Commanders-Giants tied. What a game.

Ravens beat the Broncos. 49ers beating the Dolphins. Seahawks beat the Rams. Raiders beat the Chargers. Bengals beat the Chiefs. And Cowboys-C Colts are playing tonight. Over in football. World Cup action.

USA finally lost to the Netherlands. Don't say that. Don't say it like that. USA somehow made it through and then finally got booted. I mean, kind of. I don't know how they made it this far, but neat. Looks like it's going to be Netherlands against Argentina, England against France, because why not?

It has been for thousands of years. And then we still have Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland to play, and then we still have Japan, Croatia, and Brazil, South Korea to play. See who plays there. So that should be fun. Then we have basketball over in the NBA. We have Celtics in first, Bucs, Cavaliers, Hawks, Pacers, Nets, and 76ers and Raptors in the top 8 in the East

And you got Suns, Pelicans, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Kings, Warriors, Clippers, Jazz in the West And then in the NHL We currently have The Bruins in first with the Maple Leafs in second You got the Devils in first with the Hurricanes in second The Stars in first with the Jets in second, yet the Devils in first with the Hurricanes in second, the Stars in first with the Jets in second, and the Golden Knights in first

with the Kraken in second. And that is sports. I'm not going to lie. Kraken, Golden Knights, two newish teams. Big fan. I agree. I love their logos. Yeah, the logos are great. The vibe is great.

Yeah. I think because they don't have a history, they can just go all out and do some crazy shit. Yeah, I think so. I'm here for it. Absolutely here for it. They gotta. They gotta make their own history. Yeah. And that's sports. All right. What's our fact of the day? Play-Doh started out as wallpaper cleaner before the head of the struggling company realized the non-toxic material made a good modeling clay for children and rebranded it. Wallpaper cleaner?

Yep. Wallpaper cleaner. Does that mean you can use Play-Doh now to clean your wallpaper? I was just thinking that. Wait a minute. Is it still? I mean, I guess they probably would have changed stuff. It's like when they used to say that And I don't know how true this is

That mouthwash, Listerine used to be floor cleaner Oh yeah That's right That's crazy I have no idea if you could just start using Listerine cleaner for I imagine not I imagine that would be unwise But also wallpaper cleaner is a very bizarre thing

To make You know what I mean I would be super interesting to learn more about But also wallpaper cleaner is a very bizarre thing to make. You know what I mean? Yeah. I would be super interesting to learn more about what products were created for one thing and then failed and then they repurposed their stock for something else. Yeah. I'm sure there's several. I'm sure there are many.

Like, you know, McRibs probably were yoga mats at one point. And then they were like, we have all these yoga mats. What do we do with them? And they're like, we dip them in sauce and sell them. And they're like, genius! Or it's like how Fortnite was a power defense. And they're like, what if we made it a battle right now? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. Wow,

look at that. It works. That's your fact of the day. All right. What is our big news story of the day oh boy we got a good one we got a good one I'm ready we may have covered it in the past but I don't

remember and I don't care thousands thousands of monkeys celebrate feast day in central Thailand and it's bananas. Go on. La

Brie, Thailand. A meal fit for monkeys was served on Sunday at the annual monkey feast festival in central Thailand. I'm looking it up now. Monkey feast festival? Come on, man. Monkey feast festival. I'm going to show I send you this monkey here we go

uh all right so you know when you're like at the mall and there's those weird stores that sell like curios and knickknacks and out front there's always some sort of ugly butler like a statue of a butler uh it's just a bunch of ugly monkey butlers with and with food on plates and then actual monkeys eating the food off the monkey butler plates and it's very bizarre i love it very bizarre uh throngs of muck macaque monkeys they said it is now. Macaque monkeys ran around at times fighting with each other while the crowds of visitors and locals grew. As the carefully prepared feast was brought towards the temple, the ravenous creatures began to pounce

and were soon devouring the largely vegetarian spread. Oh, it says amid the morning traffic, rows of monkey statues holding trays were lined up outside the compound of the ancient three pagodas while volunteers prepared food across the road for real monkeys the symbol of lob blot brewery province uh 93 miles north of bangkok uh while the entertainment value of the festival is high, organizers are quick to point out that it is not just monkey business. Quote, This Monkey Feast Festival is a successful event that helps promote Lotbury's tourism among international tourists every year.

Previously, there were around 300 monkeys in Lotbury before increasing to nearly 4,000 nowadays, but Lotbury is known as a monkey city, which means monkeys and people can live in harmony. Such harmony could be seen in the lack of shyness exhibited by the monkeys, which climbed on visitors' vehicles and lampposts. At times, the curious animals looked beyond the abundant feast and took an interest in other items.

Quote, There was a monkey on my back as i was trying to take a selfie he grabbed the sunglasses right up my face and ran on top of the lamppost was trying to eat him for a while said uh aisha bought an english teacher from california working in thailand oh my god the delighted onlookers were largely undeterred by the risk of petty theft although some were content to exercise caution. We have to take care of them. Better leave them to it.

Not too near is better, said Carlos Rodway, a tourist from Candiz, Spain, having previously been unceremoniously treated as a climbing frame by a monkey. The festival's annual tradition in Lopburi, the provincial capital, and held as a way to show gratitude to the monkeys for bringing in tourism this year's theme is monkeys feeding monkeys that explains it yeah an anthony of the previous years where monkey participation has decreased due to high numbers of touristsous, which intimidated the animals. I need to say, the research

I did on this is fascinating. They're talking about how they will build giant, towering pyramids of watermelons, durian, pineapple, all things I would show up to eat that. You kidding me? I'd fight those monkeys to eat that. But then, this is the best part,

is the origins, I guess, are at least 2,000 years old. And it is, according to the tale, I guess, there's the epic tale of Rama, a divine prince, and his struggle to rescue his wife, Sita, from the clutches of a demon lord. According to the tale, the monkey king Hanuman and his army helped rescue Sita. Here's the thing. According to the tale, the monkey king Hanuman and his army helped rescue Sita. Here's the thing.

If you are a Black Panther movie fan, you recognize M'Batu, the best character, every time he goes, glory to Hanuman. That's this dude. So that's pretty cool. It all clicked for me. I was like, that's awesome. And really, this is like a mega Monkey Monday when you think about it. You know what? It really is.

When the world... I've often said this. The universe is about balance. And when the world takes away your floor to Monkey Monday, Thailand gives you the greatest monkey celebration ever. That honestly makes up for a lot of the missed monkey Mondays.

It really does. It really does. And the people don't even complain when the monkeys take their stuff or attack them. No, they sat there and they're like, look at him try to eat my glasses. Yeah. No way. I like monkey feast day. Big fan.

Big fan of this. We need more. Monkey Mondays are back, baby. Yeah. Nice more monkey mondays are back baby yeah nice monkey mondays are back all right well that is it for this episode thank you so much for listening or watching i've enjoyed this podcast crendor hit him with the socials we have socials wow wow wow uh youtube.com slash cox and Crandor podcast All one word That's where you can find the podcast on YouTube Subscribe, like, comment
