Factor's gonna get you those good meals.
Also today we're brought to you by MeUndies.
MeUndies are the undies that I have on me.
Now let's jump into this podcast.
Hello everybody, it's time for Ghost on Trend Dog.
This is Trend Dog in the morning.
In the morning.
Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live.
In 4 hour and 40 minutes. Recording. Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Cox and Credo in the morning!
Woo.
Oh, whoa. Okay, hi.
I think the last couple I was too excited, so I tried to bring it down a bit.
I think you brought it down too much.
Now you're bringing me down.
Oh, now I'm down.
Now I'm down.
Woo.
No, it's too late.
Woo.
Imagine if that was the show, just like, hi, everyone.
Welcome to woo.
Woo.
We're just so happy to be another.
There will be one day.
There will be one day in the future.
I don't know when it will be.
When we're broken.
Like, welcome back, everybody.
I mean, I'm already broken.
No, I'm talking mentally, not physically.
Ah, okay.
How's it go?
Well, I'm not mentally or physically broken.
Although some may say otherwise
But I don't feel that way
I'm doing great, everything's good
I've been trying to take it easy, trying to chill
We lucked out last night
When we did our Nick Cage movie-a-thon
Because the first movie we picked
While insane, was very serious
Yes
And you know what? I was was like all right that was fine
that was okay but then nick cage army of one maybe my new favorite nick cage movie ever ever
it was man so yeah the first movie watch was frozen ground it was a serious real story
serial killer thing like i didn't know and i'm putting this out there
to the world if you weren't on the stream i need to know is anchorage alaska is it all prostitution
and like physically abusive men because that is pretty much what the movie told me yeah well at
least in the 80s right clearly things must have changed. You're right. They might have changed.
But, yeah, it was just, you know, a crime type story.
50 Cent was a strip club owner.
No, he was a pimp.
50 Cent was a pimp.
Oh, I thought he was the owner.
No, he was a pimp.
He just owned a bunch of the women.
Ah, okay.
It was a whole.
And then he had a friend who was a bouncer, and the bouncer was a bad guy, of course. Yeah. And then John Cusack was a whole and then he had a friend who was a bouncer and the bouncer was a bad guy of course yeah and then john cusack was a serial killer it it was a fine movie it wasn't good by any means
but it was very serious and it wasn't played for laughs and it was like what a weird way to start
our night yeah so then we were like what uh we gotta watch this other one which was army of one
nick cage plays a guy who decided to go kill Osama bin Laden
by himself with a katana
and a hang glider in Pakistan.
Already hilarious, just in description.
Yeah.
So that was a trip.
Based on a true story.
That was, yeah, another true story.
Nick Cage acting his ass off in this film.
It was the most I think we've seen him act in a long time.
I have never laughed so hard.
The voice, the way he acted, the things he said.
Everything about Nick Cage's character was perfect.
It was so weird that we were constantly thinking, well, this has to be fake.
And then it wasn't fake.
So they say in the beginning of the movie that he needs to have dialysis on his kidneys or else he has hallucinations.
Yeah.
That's just like a thing.
And so the entire movie, as he clearly is not taking dialysis, Crandor and I are like, all right, so this is a hallucination, right?
Like this is the family that he's like and the woman he's in love with,
and the kid, and the whole, it's all fake, right?
It's, no, no.
And he just, he gets the money from the doctor,
which I don't know if that was real,
because they didn't say anything about, like, the doctor giving him or whatever,
but, like, straight up, he just goes to Pakistan and
roams around looking for Osama Bin Laden.
That actually happened.
Yeah, and apparently he went multiple times
like 11 times or something
to Pakistan to find Osama.
Although sometimes he didn't make it.
One time, he went to go train to
hang glide in Jerusalem and fell off
a bunch of cliffs.
You know, as you do.
As you do.
Yeah.
The real story is equally insane.
When you go look it up, it's crazy.
And the fact that the guy very much was like, if they ever make a movie about me, I wanted
to star Nick Cage.
And then Nick Cage is the guy.
It's amazing.
And he said specifically because he looks like nick cage and
connor and he does he does it's not wrong yeah it is the only thing that was fake i think was the
fact that nick cage put on a voice i was like yeah hey everyone but the guy doesn't sound like that
yeah dude just sounds like a regular guy but i guess Nick Cage was ready to act his ass off
because it was amazing.
Yeah, so that was an unbelievable movie.
Fantastic.
Great way to wrap it up and change the pace.
Yeah.
Good times.
See, that's the kind of week I've had.
Just good times, great oldies, living life.
I discovered a bunch of music tracks online that are fake 80s synth music.
It's like modern music, but it's like some bands that do 80s synth.
I've been vibing to that.
It's been great.
That sounds fun.
Yeah, they're throwing in.
I learned that I like synth music that throws in a saxophone every once in a while.
I'm like, oh, yeah.
Is that like the mall
music you know what i mean it's not muzak with a k no it's you're in the city cars rolled down
cars rolled down cars rolled down windows windows rolled down cars rolled down cars
rolled down yeah you're in the city windows roll down driving through in your car and it's 1 a.m and you're playing music that fits the vibe you know what i mean you're in the city
it's night right the only people around are like the crazy drunks and the people on the street
yelling at each other and it's like you got like this music in the background it's like
right it's great it's great i see that great. I see. That sounds fun.
What's the genre of it called then? Just 80s synth jazz?
I don't know. What would you... Synthwave, maybe?
Synthwave. I've heard of that.
It's either Synthwave, Chillwave, or Dance Electronic.
Dance Electronic is very vague.
Yeah, I feel like that's one of those.
You know one of those charts when it shows the various genus
and species and things? I feel like that's
kind of like synth wave goes into chill wave
and it all is dance electronic.
Yeah, that makes more sense.
I don't know.
I feel it. Ooh, it's also called future synth.
Future synth.
I love future synth. That sounds awesome.
That's like something people in the 50s
were like, those kids later, they'll be listening to Future Synth.
But this does make sense.
It says that it was inspired.
What?
This is crazy.
Future Synth, an offshoot of Synthwave,
is an electronic music genre, micro genre,
offshoot of synth wave is like tronic music genre micro genre that has its influences drawn from uh art and video games what oh the genre developed in the mid to late 2000s through french house
producers as well as young artists who were inspired by the 2002 video game, Grand Theft Auto Vice City. Shut up. Amazing.
Synthwave reached wider popularity.
And, okay, future synth in things like Drive, Hotline Miami, Thor Ragnarok, and the Netflix series Stranger Things.
Oh, I see.
So it's that type of music.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, except Stranger Things is mostly just cover versions of it.
You know what I mean?
Like pull an 80s song and then like
synthify it.
But yeah.
I'm feeling it. It's good driving music.
Is what it is.
One week I'm like, yeah, I'm into yodeling
and now you're like, I'm into future sin.
Who knows what's next? We got you. have a click like dick speeches speeches what sorry what?
So I just I looked at this thing and this is the problem my mind runs a mile a minute
So as I meant we have eclectic tastes. I was reading a thing about
Fash wave this is absolutely true. This is not.
All right.
Popularity in spinoffs.
Spinoffs to Future Synth include.
You ready for this?
Yep.
Future Synth is used, it says, again, in things like Tron Legacy, Drive, Stranger Things, Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon, that kind of stuff, right?
Right.
But it says it branches off into other things, such as gamer synth, which is another one,
and then things like synthwave influenced, such as Blinding Lights, which is the weekend
song, right?
Yeah.
But then it says one of the most interesting is in the 2010s, Fashwave, which was a combination of fascist and synthwave,
emerged in the largely industrial fusion genre and vaporwave,
with political tracks and occasional soundbites that included fascist alt-right speeches.
What the shit?
Elsewhere, there was a growing trend of Russian
synthwave musicians who espoused
Soviet wave,
which was nostalgia for the Soviet
Union.
I love music.
It's insane.
I can't believe
that exists.
Soviet wave.
Soviet wave and fash wave.
That's like,
that is so dark and totally messed up,
but also hilarious.
That is,
that is not what I expected to ever hear.
See from the,
I can't believe that.
Yeah,
here we are.
I didn't think,
I didn't think that's who we would get to,
but you have to imagine if, if synth wave Future Synth is part of something like Blade Runner,
and that movie is very dark and has this sort of like oligarchy totalitarian vibe to it,
that I guess you could easily translate that into Soviet Wave or something.
Crazy, dude. Wow. you could easily translate that into soviet wave or something crazy dude wow all right the things you learn the things you learn when you go on the internet i would have never guessed that existed
so i'm glad i know that i guess cool yeah i don't know that i'm ever gonna go online and look it up
but like i'm glad i know you know you might be out at some place at some point in your life, and they'll be like, this is for $10,000.
And they ask you a question about Soviet Wave, and then you know it.
Yeah, I'd be like, actually, I do know something about Soviet Wave.
I just don't like the idea that I'll be listening.
I'll be at a club somewhere, bopping my head along to some sort of like great beat and like this like
synthesizer.
Right? And then just like a
Hitler speech will start. I don't
like that. I don't want that to happen.
I don't want to have to
look around the room and be like, am I the
only one weirded out by this? Or is this
everyone okay with this? Like, what's the vibe here?
I'd also be weirded out because
you'd be in a club.
And I don't think that would happen.
That's true.
That's true.
I think I've crossed over too old for clubs line.
Yeah.
The other day I was thinking about this.
Like, someone invited me out.
Just like, hey, you should come to this club.
It'll be great. And I was like, it might be great for you.
I'm going to get there and be like, yeah.
Yeah.
All right. Old guy in the club. And then, of course, get there and be like, yeah. Yeah. All right.
Old guy in the club.
And then, of course, your friends always like, we're not old.
It's like relative to every other person in that club.
I am old.
Oh, yeah.
100%.
Like, you're going to put me in a club with a bunch of 19 year olds, and I'm going to
feel real fucking awkward.
There's failures.
Old's my dad.
And it could be true it's very possible that's
weird i never understood the club scene anyway but i was also a world of warcraft player i like
get it i understand the vibe of a club or like a great bar or a concert i get it i understand
but i feel like they're definitely like most things in life is a cutoff for when it's cool to do that.
And then your options are limited.
So, yeah, I could go to your cool Soviet wave dance club, but I feel like I've aged up into the only concerts I can attend on Dave Matthews band.
That's where I'm at now.
I'm going to a fish tribute band i mean that is something you'd go to right i mean i would i would
go i would yeah i would um yeah it makes sense you know that's things obviously as you get older
it's just weirder to weirder to be there. I wish it wasn't weird, though. There's some things I want
to do, but I very much know that
it would be awkward.
I don't want to be the guy who shows
up and is like,
I'm here for the party. Yeah, the guy that's
still trying to be a
kid, essentially.
I am consistently trying to be a kid,
but not
in public. I'll save it for the internet.
Yeah, it's either that or like Leonardo DiCaprio.
I mean, and you see what it was.
It was fine for a while.
He got away with it for a while because he's gorgeous and famous and rich.
But even gorgeous and famous and rich people eventually after a while, people like, bro, you're old now.
Let it go.
Let it go, dude.
It's weird.
And the fact that, you know, he's done it like five times.
That's what I'm saying.
The first couple times.
This girl hit like 24.
Time to move on to the next like 20-year-old.
The first couple times, everyone was like, oh, Leonardo.
And then after a while, yeah.
Again, if I were to like show up to a party of like synth,
Soviet synth wave users, they'd be like, oh, it's Crazy Jesse.
He's at the party.
Wow, what a fun guy.
Is that what they'd say at the Soviet synth party?
Yeah, you're right. They'd be like, Crazy Jesse is back again.
Comrade Jesse has come to Soviet wave party.
He loves his Soviet synth parties.
It's all the rage.
Yeah, and then the fifth time I show up, though, they're going to be like, what is this guy doing? He loves his Soviet sin parties. It's all the rage.
Yeah, and then, you know, the fifth time I show up, though, they're going to be like, what is this guy doing?
What are they doing here?
They might ask that the first time.
But the fifth time, they'll definitely ask it.
They'll definitely, yeah, they may whisper it the first time.
But the fifth time, a bouncer's going to stop me from going in.
Not allowed in here, comrade.
Only Soviet wave only.
I'm still Soviet wave.
Nah, I don't think you are.
So yeah, that's cool.
Yeah.
Well, I got a story.
Okay, hit me.
So, well, okay,
I'll start with the runner-up from last week first so
last week remember you said my vagus nerve is damaged yes and then you you said it got better
it did get better so it got better for like three days i was pretty much feeling like back to normal
and uh but i was still doing like gentle. I was like I'm feeling pretty good
You know I was walking mainly just walking and I was like you know what I bet I could do like some light five-pound
exercise
Yeah, okay was a terrible idea bro. Why?
I don't know cuz then after I did it i felt that area of my neck kind of tighten up
and kind of tweak again i was like ah geez i did too early i did it too early but it didn't feel
too bad right i was like okay you know it's just you know i wasn't really like dizzy that bad and
like it went away later and it was just kind of tight and i was like all right then i woke up the next day and i could not look right well i could look right but only so far sure i was like oh geez
there it is i did it so that was yesterday today you know pretty much the same i uh i can look
left you know i can still like move around yeah, I can't look right very well.
I can at least, like, sleep pretty well, but.
What?
I think it was just, I think it was healing, and then I just went back too early and re-aggravated it.
That's what I'm saying.
What were you thinking?
I don't know.
You knew you were hurt.
Yeah, but I felt better.
You're like that person when the doctor says, you know, don't walk on that leg for five to six weeks.
And after three weeks, it feels better.
So you're like, well, I guess I can walk on it.
And then your entire hip shatters.
You're that guy.
That is me.
I'm also like the thing where my stomach would be irritated.
And then I'm like, oh, and I'd eat really healthy two weeks.
And as soon as I got better, I'm like, dude, I could eat Chipotle again.
I'm like, oh, I should have waited.
So, yeah, that's... But I'm a little
more hopeful now because I'm like, well, at least it healed.
So I know it can heal and get better.
So that's good.
I mean, it sounds okay.
I don't know if good's the right word, but...
I mean, it's not fun. I'd rather not
have this.
But I at least know it can improve.
So that's where I am.
So I'm just like, all right, well, I guess I'll just take...
I'm probably going to take a few weeks off of just any...
When I did lower body exercises, I was good.
So I'll probably stick to that and then walking for a while.
Yeah, you need to...
I understand that you are the workout man now that's like
your vibe you love it and if you miss a day you lose your mind but i must reiterate yeah you'll
be forced to quit working out entirely if you really hurt yourself yeah no so i get it so i'm like all right you know take it easy and uh
that's that's just the way it is but this branches into another story well of course it does so
the the day before this happened i was walking so i felt good and i was like oh you know i'm
just gonna keep walking he's walking he's always you know feeling great so i'm walking and i was like
uh it was like walking around this track right like in the gym and so there's like some other
people can i ask you a question right is this track on the second floor yeah why is it because
i know you go to a wellness center right why is it every wellness center the track is on the second
floor every time without fail every single one i know. Without fail, every single one.
I guess because, like, also you can, like, look down on people exercising and stuff.
I guess.
So it's, like, something to look at when you're walking.
I don't know.
Yeah, it's very bizarre.
But, yeah, I just had to ask because every single time.
Yeah.
So I was walking, and I was like, oh, I got to call my doctor appointment I had. So I was like, I'll call the doctor'd like call my doctor appointment I had so I was
like I'll call the doctor's office so I gotta like ask him about something so I did that
and I was like talking on the phone and this woman kept like walking away from me like
like she was like this 50 60 year old woman but like she would always be like I want to say like
20 feet ahead of me
and then she would like cut across to like get ahead of me but then i guess she was walking
kind of slow so i'd always catch up right and then i was like oh i gotta call this other person too
so i'm just like talking i'm not like yelling and then like i'm about to get off the phone
with this other and then she goes like excuse me do you work here and i was like no and she's like well if you have phone calls it would be great if you could like
take them in the hallway and i was like what i was like uh why and she was like well it's it
could be really distracting for people walking around the track and so i just thought uh you
know it's it's kind of rude so i'd appreciate if you just
you know talked in the hallway and i was like uh okay so i was like i was like so taken aback like
what and i was just like sure and then i but i like was done talking at that point and i was
like all right and then that was that and i was like so confused because then she like started to talk and she
started talking to somebody else on the track and i was like well what's the difference between me
talking on the phone you talking to somebody else on the track right yeah i i don't think there is
a difference i feel like she was just inconvenienced by the fact that you were talking on the phone and
she didn't like that yeah uh and so she's yeah she wanted to say that to you while completely ignoring her own
bad habits yeah yeah yeah yeah because like again i'm not i'm not a very loud person
i'm not like oh excuse me i got an appointment
that's not i'm just like oh hey like i was just talking like a normal voice
but for some reason she just hey like most people don't care it's like they're also like they have
airpods in or like their their headphones in like most people aren't just walking around the track
not listening to anything i would say that's a rarity and on top of that usually they're
talking to somebody else and then that's also loud.
So that could be distracting.
But I guess that's not distracting to her because that's a real life interaction.
And then I guess it doesn't count if it's over the phone.
I don't know.
Yeah, I don't.
Look, I agree with you that that is very stupid.
Yeah.
So I was like, I think that was a Karen interaction.
Because at first I was like,
oh yeah, maybe that is the rule.
And then I thought about it
and I was like, no, that's stupid.
Like, I was like,
this doesn't make any sense.
Because like, you're just talking.
Yeah, she was just inconvenienced
in her own mind that like,
her day was ruined
because she had to listen
to your conversation.
She didn't have to listen.
She had to be a part of it.
And yeah, she was just like, he's talking and I'm trying to your conversation. She didn't have to listen. She didn't have to be a part of it. And yeah,
she was just like, he's talking and I'm trying to walk here and I don't want up
but now I'm talking. So you
must deal with my talking because I'm
the main character. Yeah. Yeah.
No, it was a narcissist thing.
So she was definitely a narcissist
Karen lady.
You know, if you saw her, you'd be like, oh, that's
a Karen lady, right?
In fact, she did kind of look like a Karen.
Not even
just the metaphor. It looked
like her name was Karen. You don't have to convince
me of this. I fundamentally believe
she had the haircut.
She had the outfit.
Anyone who gets
upset about someone talking on the phone,
where you're just like near them
Yeah
It's alright it's just a phone call
Like it's fine
If anything you use that to tell a story later
Cause here's the thing 90% of the time
People on phone calls are just like
So I said 1 million dollars
You better make it 2
Yeah
And that guy you take all that information you store in your brain you go
home and tell your friends what a giant piece of shit you saw today yeah no that was pretty much
my my thought process i was like well i got a story now so i'll take it and i finished my phone
calls so i don't have to talk to anybody anymore anyway so you know what i could i was done
annoying her so i was was going to stop anyway.
There's something weird about people getting upset over minor annoyances or inconveniences.
Yeah.
And it's always amusing to me because I feel like they feel like they have to draw a line or people are going to walk all over them.
It's like, no, no, the barista that's on their phone, they got some shit to handle real quick.
Let them do it.
Like, you're still going to get your coffee,
but they're supposed to serve me.
It'll be faster if you let them do their thing instead of you yelling at them and getting in confrontation with them,
and now no one's going to get the damn coffee.
I'm going to have to sit here and let you argue.
It's like, it's about the principle.
Like, no, no, it's not.
You just want it to be heard because you feel like no one listens to you and you get no respect.
And you are putting all the years of not respect that you've received onto that barista.
Like, that kind of thing.
Like, no.
No, just stop.
Clearly, she's the woman at the track probably had to listen to a bunch of that crap.
Or she has people in her life who, like, talk on the phone.
That kind of thing.
Yeah. And so she took it out on you because that's what people do and it's nonsense
yeah and listen i don't care i'm like i'm the type of person where like i like bring the the
escalation levels down to like a two yeah right like uh there's one time i don't remember if i
brought the story up we were in the the parking lot of this like grocery store place.
And there's this woman was like out there and she like parked near me, but I parked in between the lines of the parking spot.
And so she parked so badly that her car was like close to mine and she couldn't like open her passenger
door side all the way but that's your fault because you parked terribly right like i'm between the
lines i parked perfectly normal i parked within the rules of the parking space but then she was
like why did you park so close to my car and i was like i parked between the lines and she was like
she was like yeah well i can't get out i'm a i'm a she said
and i quote i'm a big woman she was like i'm a big woman i can't open my car that way and i was like
i mean i parked between the lines in the parking space and then she would like keep saying things
and i would literally just keep pointing and saying i parked between the lines in the parking
space like you can't argue that because it's true.
Yeah.
And then after like the fifth time, she was just like,
whatever.
And then she got in and drove off.
Like I'm a big boy.
I'm not out there fighting people.
If they parked too close to my car,
if they hit my car,
that's a different story.
But if they parked too close,
then it is on me as the fat one to be like,
all right,
well,
I got to reevaluate where my park is.
Do I angle differently?
Do I park further away from people?
Maybe I'll have to walk a little further if I don't.
You got to think about things besides just like other people need to accommodate me.
Yeah.
That's a messed up way of thinking.
Plus, how am I supposed to know anything about her?
Right, exactly.
It is a weird mindset that I think a lot of people get into
in all aspects of life where they think that
other people give a damn about them.
Yeah.
You know, like, oh, I tripped and I fell
and now everyone's looking at me?
Trust me, they looked at you for two seconds
and now no one cares again.
Like, nobody cares about anything going on in your life
it's just a fact or most people see that and they're like i don't want to get involved in that
yeah like and so all the problems that you have that you're going through
no one's thinking about that they got their own problems they're thinking about so yeah you know
you can't expect everyone to change their life for you. You got to change and mess with your own crap.
Yeah.
Like if you're walking around a track and you trip and fall and you go like, oh, I'm so embarrassed.
Nobody cares.
She's probably the person behind you is probably mad that I'm talking on the phone.
Yeah.
They don't care about you falling.
This is outrageous.
Outrageous. Yeah. So I was like, this will be a good Cox and Crandor story. Outrageous.
Yeah, so, I was like, this will be a good Cox and Crendor story.
And it was.
But overall, you know, my vagus nerve isn't damaged.
So that's good.
There is a, I was gonna say, there was people commenting, like, oh yeah, my vagus nerve is damaged. And they have, like, what do you call it?
Like, things put in to, like, stimulate the vagus nerve so they don't have like
seizures oh and like heart things so it's like an actual thing i had no clue yeah oh yeah someone
said i actually have an implant called a vagus nerve stimulator it helps control seizures by
sending a small electrical shock to the cluster the the Vegas NERP impacts a whole lot of things. It's really weird.
So, yeah.
Who knew?
Yeah, we learned a lot.
Here's the thing we need.
We need, what are those comments about people living abroad

The Point, and has over 5,000 acres of woodland, parks, and rivers.

I mean, like, I have no

I got zero sympathy. Yeah.
Yo, they got a restaurant called Old Beams.
Yeah?
Like O-L

B-E-A-M-S. Old Beams.
It's like a barn looking.
Oh, yeah.
It looks great.
Yeah.
It actually does look pretty good.
Visually stunning.
Yeah.
But what does the food look like?
That's the key.
It looks pretty good from what I've seen.
It looks all right.
The charcuterie board looks pretty good.
I don't know what the hell that thing is yeah they got some fancy uh got some fancy glasses for the drinks yeah that looks
pretty good hey not bad invite your furry friends oh see whatever the hell this thing is they're
like uh english sunday breakfast thing sunday dinner, whatever that is. Oh, yeah. That thing looks delicious.
Oh, it does.
Everything else is like, all right.
But yeah, yeah.
You can see there's some things here that are like the standouts.
Like, oh, you got to be eating that one.
Oh, yeah.
Although the chips look good as hell.
Yeah.
I'm a big fan of like big old honking chips.
They have halloumi fries.
Get out.
I got to stop looking at this.
Let's see.
What else is there?
We got to move on.
We got to go to sports.
We got to go to physical activity.
Hold on.
But I clicked on the snow zone.
It's a literal like ski.
It's like one of those indoor ski things.
Look at here.
You see the snow zone?
I don't see the snow zone.
Send me a link. How do I see the snow zone? Hold on. Here we go. Look at the snow zone I don't see the snow don't send me a link how do I see the snow zone here go with the snow zone here you know you got
to look at the snow zone oh it's an indoor ski you know what yeah the only
ever time I've seen one of these was I think in like Dubai or something I would
imagine there's in places that are hot.
It's like an indoor snow thing.
Otherwise, people just go outside.
Yeah, the snow zone. That's pretty neat.
So how far do you think this is from London?
If you zoom out...
Oh, it's like...
It's like close, but I don't know
how far that actually is like an hour outside
maybe let's find out london it is driving one hour 11 minutes yeah all right yeah that's not bad not
too i bet on a train it's like 35 minutes yeah probably that's That's not bad at all. It's like
halfway between London
and the place where
Peaky Blinders is. Hold on. Look at this
one. That was the last one.
The Chester. Oh, I'd love a good arms.
Yeah.
The Chester arms. I'd have a field
day there. I'd be so happy.
It's probably. Here's the
question. Is it owned by an international conglomerate, or is this its own thing?
I mean, this looks like it's just somebody's house.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But if you look hard enough, a lot of the, like, the Queen's tush, all of the pubs you
think are dope-ass, like little tiny pubs, if you look, you'll see
a plaque or something somewhere that says
part of the international chain of Johnson Foods.
Ah, okay, I see.
And that happens a lot.
Yeah, I was scolded by a bunch of
Brits because they were like,
it's not a real place, golf!
And I'm like, oh, okay.
Although this place looks legit.
The more I scroll through the food,
all of it looks really good.
Like if this is owned by the queen,
this is like one of her fine establishments.
Yeah, this really is.
Although one of the dishes is,
I don't know how far down this is,
so I'll just send you a link.
But one of the dishes is like,
let's take everything delicious,
but also throw on ugly ass wet ham oh yeah what is this meal what the this this meal is like a plate of all the meats and then the grossest wettest ham i've ever seen baloney it's like
straight up baloney i have no idea what this dish is called
But it is
Unappetizing
Everything else on here
Looked so good and then that one
Gross ass piece of ham
Yeah that's
That's like straight up lunch meat
It's awful looking
Everything else I'm like wow that looks so good
Oh look at that
One thing There's always gotta be one that's like oh dear It's awful looking. Everything else, I'm like, wow, that looks so good. Oh, look at that. Yeah, one thing.
There's always got to be one that's like, oh, dear.
There's always one.
So, yeah, that's the weather.
All right, let's go to sports.
Sports.
Sports.
Sports.
We've got sports occurring.
Yeah.
I hear that.
I hear that.
Over in the NBA, standings, Bucs at the top, Celtics right behind them, 76ers, Cavaliers,
Knicks, and Nets all in the top six, then Heat, Hawks, Raptors, Wizards.
Over in the Western Conference, you've got the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Kings, Suns, Warriors,
Timberwolves, followed by the Mavericks, Clippers, Pelicans, Jazz.
Then you've got the NHL, where we've got the Bruins at the top, the Hurricane, the Dallas Stars, and the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Bruins, 103 points.
I think they're on pace to be one of the fastest teams to the most points in the NHL.
They're 49 wins and 8 losses, which is actually pretty insane.
That is pretty insane.
Yeah.
So they look like the team to beat this year.
But as I always see every year, there's always some team like,
damn, they had the best regular season ever,
and then they lose in round one.
Well, it's the playoffs.
season ever and then they like lose in round one playoffs and then over in baseball spring training has been happening I actually tuned in for some
and it's been still pretty fun to watch I think we mentioned it last time they
like the pitch clock and everything now it's great you know what since you
mentioned it mm-hmm that is all I've seen on TV. Every single time someone's like, hey, I got some big news coming from baseball.
And then it's just exactly what we've talked about.
Yeah.
Crazy.
We're ahead of the curve, man.
Yeah.
Every time.
We're trendsetters.
This show, trendsetters.
Trendsetters.
And that's sports.
All right.
What is our fact of the day?
Fact of the day.
Day.
Day.
Buttermilk does not contain any butter.
Is it?
Because this is what I've always thought.
Is it because this is what I've always thought it's it's milk that is
Shurned the same way butter is but not butter fide is that it?
It says the butter and its name refers to the origins of the drink now. That's a confusing random fact You probably didn't know well. What does that mean? Yeah? What's that?
the origins of the drink.
Buttermilk origins began.
Buttermilk origins sounds like the name of a video game.
Buttermilk origins.
Buttermilk gets its name because it was originally the milk that was left over after butter was made.
And this unpasteurized milk naturally occurring bacteria fermented some of the milk sugars and gave butter milk
its trademark slightly sour taste.
Interesting. Okay.
Yeah, there we go. Why didn't they just put that on this website?
They're just like, it's the origin.
They're like, tell me.
That's why I'm here, to learn facts.
We're here to tell you a fact, not explain it.
Okay?
So yeah, and then I'll throw in a bonus fact here, which is Minnie Mouse's first name is not Minnie.
Okay.
It is Minerva.
Stop.
Is it Minerva Mouse?
Minerva Mouse.
Minnie Mouse is a nickname that was given to the character by UB,
iWorks, and Walt Disney.
Minnie's actual name is rarely used.
That's pretty crazy.
Yeah, we're going to find out that Mickey's name is like
Michelangelo Donavito Aloysius Mouse.
Yeah, if you like Minerva Mouse. I want to see. Yeah, look you like, you know, like Minerva Mouse.
I want to see.
Yeah, look at that.
Even the Wikipedia doesn't do it.
It's just straight up like Minnie Mouse.
But yeah, then it mentions Minerva in the Wikipedia thing.
Do you think it was Disney-ified where like someone came along and was like, silence it.
No one must know.
Oh, yeah.
A hundred percent.
Wait, but then this says there's a Minerva Mink.
Yes.
Minerva Mink is from not Tiny Toons, maybe Tiny Toons or Animaniacs.
It's one of the two.
Oh, yeah.
Animaniacs.
That's right.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's where I was like, I've heard that name before.
Yeah. Shout out to over sexual. That's where I was like, I've heard that name before. Yeah.
Shout out to over-sexualized minks when I was 13.
You know, it does appear that way.
Trust me, I remember.
That and Hello Nurse, I remember.
Yeah, looking at some of these, it's like this was on television yeah it was over
sexualized like a lot of sexualized yeah like this one is she's got her mink foot up that's
definitely banned on twitch television Cartoon for kids.
Yep.
Those are facts of the day.
All right.
Oh, my goodness.
What is our big news story?
A big news story of the day.
We lost him.
He teleported away.
Gone. Teleport.
Here we go.
Mexican president post photo
of what he claims
is an elf.
Stop.
Stop.
Oh no. here we go Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador posted a photo on his social media account showing what he said appeared to be in a
Lux a mischievous woodland spirit in Mayan folklore mexico's president posted a photo on his social media
accounts showing what appeared to be a woodland spirit similar to an elf uh it did not seem to
be joking when he posted the photo uh lopez obrador wrote the photo quote was taken three
days ago by an engineer it appears to be an alux adding everything is mystical
the nighttime photo shows a tree with a branch forming what looks like a halo of hair
and what may be stars forming the figure's eyes lopez obrador has long expressed reverence for
indigenous cultures and beliefs uh engineers and workers are in the Yucatan Peninsula constructing a tourist train
that is the president's pet project. According to traditional Mayan belief, Aluxes are small
mischievous creatures that inhabit a forest and fields and are prone to playing tricks on people
like hiding things. Some people leave small offerings to appease them. The ancient Mayan
civilization reaches height from 300 AD to 900 AD
on the Yucatan Peninsula in an adjacent
part of Central America, but the Mayans
descendants continue to live on the
peninsula. Many continue speaking
the Mayan language and wearing traditional
clothing, while also
conserving traditional foods,
crops, religious, and medicine practices
despite the
conquest of the region by the spanish between 15
27 and 15 46 the best part about this is the tweet still exists right it is him it is his account it
is 100 a tweet from him and what's even crazier is that i discovered just now you know how there's
like yellow check marks on twitter and then the old blue check marks?
If you're a governmental official,
apparently you have a gray check mark.
Yeah, I see that.
Yeah, Andres Manuel has a gray check.
I didn't know that.
Anyway, the tweet is still there.
And when you click on the tweet,
you can see this thing
that definitely looks like some type of monster
that would stalk you in a video game for sure.
Oh, yeah.
100%.
And I am very fascinated about the train they're building.
I think that's pretty amazing.
Having been to Yucatan and gone to Chichen Itza and stuff, I would love to go back and check stuff out again one day.
And a train would be great.
And a train would be great.
But with all that said, for all the crap that Twitter has on it,
every once in a while, Twitter actually comes through.
And all the comments are like, cool, great post, dude.
However, the image that you're posting of this elf is at least two years old. And apparently, according to this one tweet,
was around...
This guy says,
the photo that you said was taken three days ago has been doing the rounds in Nuevo Leon since February 2021
and in Thailand since December of that year.
And everyone's just like,
yeah, this is actually an old photo, bro photo bro yeah but it's an old photo of what
see now that's that that's a question what is it a photo of good question no clue
but it is not it is not mexican in origin at all oh yeah no that that is definitely something he
just found on the internet and was like, well, this is insane.
Yeah.
It kind of looks like a demon monkey with like an Assassin's Creed hood.
Yeah, or it has a light aura behind its head, which makes it like look like a face.
It is one of those pictures that is probably 99% our brain trying to interpret what it actually is. Yeah.
And it's probably just an owl. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Because
you can see
sort of like a pixelated what could be a leg
behind the tree like it's crouched and it's like
standing on the tree or something. Yeah.
But also that could
be an artifact. That could be a branch.
That could be... It could be a million other
things besides part of a leg yeah uh plus like he says it's the like a lux which they look according to what i've
googled look like tiny troll elves and this doesn't really look like a troll elf yeah i'm looking at
the picture he posted it looks nothing like what it's supposed to look like.
However, I think we should all be talking about the fact that in the picture he posted
several hundred years ago, the Mayans knew of gonk droids.
That's just a gonk droid, bro.
Look at it.
He's got little feet.
He's got the trash can body.
They knew Star Wars before Star Wars.
Yeah, I didn't even realize that
That guy is way cooler than the elf
Look at that Gronk droid
Is the Gronk droid thing
Grabbing the elf
Or is that someone else's hand
There is a hand behind him grabbing his hair
He caught him
You go in the trash
You go in the robot trash.
The Mayan
robot trash.
Yeah.
Okay. See, we made up
our own better mythology.
That'll teach them to have thousands of years of history.
I mean,
the Mayan robots
are actually a thing, right?
Yes. I mean, right? Yes.
I mean, we learned that.
We learned that.
And so people thought 2012 was the end of the world.
But I think when the Mayan trash robots come back, that's the end of the world.
Right.
No doubt.
That's the real 2012.
Yeah.
They start putting everybody into the trash.
Yeah.
They're like, time to take out the garbage. Yeah. They start putting everybody into the trash. Yeah, they're like, time to take out the garbage.
Yeah.
And then they clean up the streets.
Yeah.
And we're all thrown away.
And they're like, the return of the Mayans.
Honestly, it's probably not a bad arc.
Yeah, you know what?
We had a good run, everyone.
Yeah.
We had a good run.
We had a good run.
Oh, well, speaking of good runs, that's it for this episode.
