Hello everybody, we're starting the episode with Kax and Credo, the budding! That was, uh, hey everybody, welcome to a... I'm sick. I have a cold. Let me have this. Alright, you can have it. I got, I got con crud. Can you believe it? Ridiculous. Unbelievable.

I got con crud. Can you believe it? Ridiculous. Unbelievable. Ridiculous. I hand sanitized. I tried to stay away from people for the most part. I was doing great.

I shook hands and immediately sanitized. I bumped fists and immediately sanitized. I did everything great. I did the exact same thing I did at FanFest, but Evo got me. When did it hit? Uh, man, I wish I could tell you. I feel like it hit Monday while driving home, so I drove home Monday morning. And, you know, you have to drive through the desert because it's LA to, or Las Vegas to LA. And while I'm in the desert, it's, you know, hot.

But it was 9, 10 a.m. So it wasn't like scorching hot yet. Yeah. And so I was like, man, my throat's dry. What's that about? And then I got home and everything was fine. And then Monday I did a stream and I like hung out and I worked. Tuesday, still had like a throat like, what is, God, I got these dry cough.

What's that about? And then woke up Wednesday and my nose was stuffy. And I was like, oh, what is going on? And then Thursday was like, I think I'm sick. Oh, this sucks. And then on Friday, I went to the doctor like, bro, I can't be sick. I got stuff. I got work to do, dude. And he was like, okay, you know, I shouldn't do this.

And I was like, look, man, I know, this is LA. I know you got super drugs and you give celebrities to get them over sicknesses faster. And he was like, well, all right, that's a myth. I was like, lie. I have friends who are actual real celebrities. Don't do this to me. And he was like, okay, Okay I'm gonna give you this pack

Of stuff just take it and I'm gonna give you this other drug for the cough And you'll be fine and I was like How long he's like three days maybe four Tops I was like okay which by the way Seems like regular cold stuff you know What I mean I mean that's just how long it takes A cough yeah yeah I was like alright

Well at least placebo will hit me and I'll feel good. And yeah, so I've just been – I'm not a mess, right? Like I sound like I'm sick, but I'm not – and I feel fine, which is good. I don't even think you sound that sick. Compared to when I'm usually sick, when I'm like, hey, Christ. Yeah. So, I mean, those drugs are doing whatever. Modern medicine is doing its thing. usually sick when I'm like, hey, yeah. So I mean, those drugs are doing whatever modern medicine's

doing its thing. It's just, yeah, it absolutely sucks. Uh, when your voice is your job, you know what I mean? You're just like, Oh my God, I just, you mean I can't work for a few days, even though I feel physically fine and I can move around, I can do stuff. And I've been like, I cleaned my apartment twice now. So stupid. Yeah. I watched a bunch of, on Friday, I watched a bunch of movies and then cleaned my apartment. And then I woke up Saturday morning and was like, oh, man, I missed that spot. So I started cleaning again. And I was like, well, I got to check over here and start cleaning again. I was like, no, Jesse, you need to do anything but this.

So then I went and I streamed Baldur's Gate. And that was, you know, that was that, I guess. That's kind of how I was. Because, like, with the concussion, I couldn't look at screens long. So I was like, I can't. You start to go stir crazy. Yeah. I'm like, I just want, what if I stream, like, 20 minutes?

But then I'm like, oh, it's going to aggravate. But what if I just, I don't know. That's why now that I'm feeling better, I'm just like, I've been doing, like, I did my three and a half hour Baldur Gate stream. And then I'm just like, yeah. Although I felt a little like, ugh, afterwards, but not like bad. But so I'm trying to, like, I don't want to overdo it, you know, and do the classic Krendor re-aggravation again. But, like, I'm feeling, I'm feeling, I'd probably say, like, 85, 90% right now. You know what?

That's good, considering you aggravated it and we're back down to like 50 or whatever. Yeah, yeah. I took a one step forward, two steps back on that one. But then, yeah, now we're back in the forefront. Is that the right word? The forefront? I mean, it's a word. Yeah, you get what I'm saying.

Yeah, I know. I get it. The word doesn't need to be correct. I understand what you mean. Yeah, so we're on the forefront of victory. Yep. That's good. I'm glad you're feeling better because we got a show in two weeks.

We do. You better be feeling better. I would hope so. Let's see. I feel like I wrote some stuff down from this week too. You wrote some stuff down. I feel like I wrote some stuff down from this week, too. You wrote some stuff down? Wait, I feel like I wrote some stuff down this week, too. Oh, yeah.

So one thing, we had the, on Friday, well, this weekend was the Chicago Comic-Con thing they always have. And so we went on Friday because we were like, that would be fun. Just walk around. And there was one dude there who was a fan of our show. And it was one of those kind of funny interactions that would be like in a show or something like we were going down a big escalator and he was like going up but then he got to the top and he's just like Crandor is that is that you I was like hey what's up and he's like hey I watch your podcast or listen and it's great I love you guys I was I was gonna try to go to the

show but I don't know and I was just like yo thanks man I was like I'm fading away I'll see you later so just like keep going down the escalator I've had that happen before it's very fun it's always funny yeah so uh if that was you guy the podcast, that was a fun interaction. And thanks for listening. So that was one thing that happened. But then we walked around. It was fun just walking around seeing stuff there. A lot of times I just like seeing the cosplayed people or just seeing random shit they got, like dice and comics.

And you just look around. It's pretty fun. My favorite is when you walk by someone and rather than address you they talk to their friend they go yo is that jesse cox i always will be like it is and just walk away yes it is that happened one time at the my my game store i play warhammer at there's this one kid sitting there and then the guy that owns it knows me and he is just like is that krendor and then the guy was like i don't know ask him yourself he like turned he's like uh and i was like yeah it's me and he was like damn damn that is krendor that's crazy and then i was like you better not play space marines

disgusting and he was like but i love the gray knights i don't even think he was a space mariner i think it was uh he seemed more like an eldar i don't know what that means and for some reason i actually somehow do know what that means which is weird. Yeah, I feel it's the, you know, just Google Eldar, you'll see it. Yeah, he's no Space Marine. That dude's an Eldar. For some reason, it sounds a little offensive too. Like, that guy's an Eldar, bro.

Eldar is like the Space Elves, pretty much. Guy's such an Eldar, dude. Anyway, so yeah, we walked around the Comic Con. it was fun enjoyed it uh then we we went uh oh my god that's right we went to breakfast and we realized you know those things people put in their windshield to block the sun yes there's like one person that had it and then we me and toaster woman real we were like we like rarely see those anymore those like back in the 90s and stuff everybody used to have like early

2000 it's felt it's like every car had one of those and now it's like there's one you know i haven't even seen them in the stores i think it's because a lot of the glass now is tempered with uh various light blocking things or maybe heat Or maybe heat-blocking things. I don't know what the – I remember that when – remember when my windshield cracked? Yeah. And I got it replaced, and they were like,

do you want normal glass or do you want the glass that comes with the car? And I was like, what do you mean? And they're like, well, normal glass is normal glass. We'll put it on there. We can get it done today. But if we want to order it like the glass that came with the car when you bought it, it's this special kind of glass and it does this and this. And I was like, what?

And so I looked it up and it basically blocks like different types of light and heat and whatever. And I was like, interesting. Like it dissipates heat. Oh, that is crazy. I did not know that. But I don't know if that's just... Not every car is going to have that, though. Exactly. Especially older cars.

Yeah. It seemed very new to me. Yeah. I don't know. That was just... That was the thing we noticed. Just like, what happened to those? Because I remember my grandpa used to have one. He's like, put up the old windshield blockers. Keep that sun out. Right?

I don't even know what they're called. I'm just looking it up. Reflectors? Car? Sun? Why don't people use sunshades anymore? Yeah, sunshade. New recall models come equipped with tinted windows that provide UV protection. Additionally, some people prefer

keep their windows open for ventilation or for aesthetic reasons. Well, okay. Some people are like, I don't want that shit in my car. It's going to look dumb. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out why. I mean, I guess that explains why. Newer cars, they don't, you know, need it.

But, yeah, I would say the combination of newer cars not needing it and people just not wanting to deal with the hassle. Yeah, that makes sense. That seems like the right answer concerning the internet is not giving me anything remotely satisfying. Yeah, it's probably like mainly just in the summertime anyway, and then it's only a couple months in like a lot of states, and then some states where it's hot all the time, maybe use it more yeah it's i just remember seeing those all the time so yeah it

must be all those things look at that you solved it solving crimes doing times toxic now i got another another crazy thing for you all right okay so i like eating bananas it's a hell of a start yeah and i realized recently sometimes i'll eat bananas and they make my tongue hurt i i don't know why that would be i was trying to look into it banana tongue hurt right looked it up and they said symptoms of banana allergy dude are you allergic to nanners but i don't think i ever used to be but you can develop allergies at different points in your life based off of all sorts of things yeah and i noticed that like sometimes i'd eat bananas i'm fine but well there was one time i really noticed that this banana had this like weird like super thick part in the middle like a pollen stem or something.

What the hell? I remember being like, uh, and I tasted it, and my tongue hurt. So I think it is the weird banana pollen thing in there. You mean like the ripeness of a banana? No, it was like some weird- Banana pollen thing? What are you talking about? Yeah, like the stem inside of it.

What do you mean the stem inside of it? Inside the banana. What are you talking about? I'm going to Google what you just the stem inside the banana. Like the thing in the middle of it. The pith. I don't know. The banana stem sounds more good than a pith

The starchy inner core. Yeah What kind of banana? Okay, first off. What kind of bananas are you getting? You're getting like- This is like, this was only one of the bananas I got the most of them are normal But this one had this weird like starchy inner part and that was the thing that gave me my like tongue tickling But then yesterday I ate a normal one and that also did it but then the other day one i didn't get that so i feel like it depends on if it's got this thing in it or if like how ripe it is or if it's not ripe i don't know which if it's ripe or not right i don't know all i know is it's weird so i do that and then my tongue is

just like kind of tingly and hurts a bit and then it goes away so people looked into this this is from the 1989 chicago tribune which is hilarious apparently this so they reached out because people were like what is this weird center stem in my banana because i've never had this before not once have i had a weird hard like inner part of a banana and we received a more thorough explanation from chiquita bananas along with the admission that the problem is occurring with more frequency than ever before. Russ Cade, Special Director of Banana and Technical Services for Chiquita said that the condition is called Black Center Syndrome. He explained that once bananas have begun to ripen, they're very fragile and must be handled with care. that once bananas have begun to ripen,

they're very fragile and must be handled with care. Dropping a crate of ripened bananas as little as one foot can cause them to have black centers. Banana growers and shippers are aware of that and insulate the bananas from the rough handling. However, once these bananas are closer to their final destination, either the distribution centers or supermarket may become less careful, thus causing this to happen. So basically, someone dropped that banana, dude.

Damn. And so the inside got all, like, hard. That's crazy. I didn't even know that. Yeah, and this guy says that there's absolutely no way to tell if a banana has been dropped in such a way until you peel it and check the center. Damn. Luckily, bananas are, like like 15 cents or something.

Also, this dude says if you have a hard bit in the middle, it means it's really underripe, even if it's not black. Oh, okay. So you're also eating extremely underripe bananas. All right, so I should just wait. You probably should. But I also don't want to eat overripe bananas. Those are like bleh.

The one thing that I learned, and I don't know how true this is, but it seems based on just me observing that if you get a bunch of bananas, right? Yeah. If you pull each banana from that bunch and separate them, they last longer. Wait, why? I think because they last longer. Wait, why? I think because they ripen. This, again, makes no sense.

It is probably not true, but I feel like this is, they ripen. You know how the top part's brown? Yeah. Because they pull it from a tree or whatever? It like browns from the top on down. And so if you cut it and separate, or pull them apart and separate them from that brown bit at the top and each one's by itself it lasts longer i cannot say this is real it just feels real to me this sounds just crazy enough to be true and i don't i mean like i have no evidence i haven't ever googled it to look but it just seems like something that would be true.

I mean, it does seem kind of true, but it also seems like it could be wrong. Hold on. What would you Google for that? Make banana ripen faster. Pulling apart bananas last longer? Hold on. Dividing your bananas and wrapping them individually is the best way to prevent them from traveling down the fruit. It is a travel down the fruit situation. Yeah. So apparently you want to do bananas last longer if you break them apart.

Yes. Ethylene gas is naturally released through the stems of the bananas. Separating and especially covering them, covering the stems, should contain the release of this gas, thereby slowing the rate of ripening. Damn, you were right. Well, what do you know? I'm not stupid. Damn. I feel good about that.

I must have learned that somewhere from someone because I've been doing that for years. Yeah, you probably did. They probably read it and then you just picked it up. I guess that's how information works in general. Sure, sure, sure. I just don't know where I learned that from. But you know what? Shout out to whoever taught that to me.

Yeah. That's pretty cool. Yeah, that's very cool. But I feel like there also is some weird allergic thing with it. Because that's probably like the super pollinated part. Well, your tongue swelling is not good. No, that's not that's not good so i looked that up and then somebody said it sounds like you could have a banana allergy

since it's a new allergy you can never pass this stage of getting worse so like i'm not gonna have a tongue tingle and then the next day i eat one and I'm going into anaphylaxis shock or something. Sure. It's like me with long-haired cats, I think it is. If you have a long-haired cat, my allergies destroy me. And I never had that before. And then suddenly, short-haired cats or dogs, fine. But if you're a cat that is a glorious mane of hair, I'm done.

I'm just like, I can't breathe. It sucks. Yeah, I have no idea why. I couldn't tell you. Didn't happen to like my late 20s. That's crazy. Yeah. Allergies are weird, man.

Yeah, dude. I don't know. I've always been allergic to pollen and I've been allergic to dust. But I think everyone's kind of, like, dust-a-phobic. But, yeah, I don't know. It's weird. Although my pollen allergies aren't nearly as bad as they were when I was a kid. So I don't know the rules, dude.

I don't know any of it. I feel like some allergies can get better from just, like, getting older. Or, yeah, exposure. I know that you can get like allergy shots and stuff. It's also probably your receptors. I'm just like, it's like shit, dude. I'm too old for this. It's probably just, you know, the receptors.

My nose is like, bro, I got, what do you want me to do? Sniff more pollen? Sure, whatever. Come on, let's do it. Yeah, I don't know. Shit's crazy. So, moral of the story is, I like eating bananas, but sometimes I don't because they hurt. Well, speaking of crazy, I, too, wrote down a story, a Vegas story.

This time, once again, involving Vegas women. So, I'm very excited for this. All right, great. So, it's, I don't know I think it was either Friday or Saturday After Evo was late at night, it probably was Saturday Headed back to the room As I learned from FanFest, it's Vegas

I'm gonna get some water on the way back Now of course, also because it's Vegas Water, expensive And I was trying to find the cheapest Bottle of water I could find At this little convenience store that's right before the elevator between the hotel and the casino and where i was staying at in the hotel and a bunch of women very drunk very vegas you know that weird space like

is she 33 or is she 78 i don don't know. They come rolling in and they're looking at the waters. And this woman's restocking the shelves with water. And one of the women turns to her and goes, how much is your cheapest water? And the woman stocking the shelves looks at her and points to the one in her hand. She goes,

that's the cheapest one. And the woman goes, well, how much is it? She goes, $6.69. And the woman goes, well, how much is it? She goes, $6.69. And the woman goes, $6.69? And then another woman rolls up next to her and she goes, it's okay. You're not paying for it. And then the woman next to her goes, no one should pay $6.69 for water. And the woman next to her goes, you're not paying for it.

Clarissa is. It's okay. And then she goes, that's too much., you're not paying for it. Clarissa is. It's okay. And then she goes, that's too much. That's too much money for water. And then her friend goes, yeah, well, this is America. And I don't know, like, it's shut her up, but I don't know why that was the comeback. Like, yeah, well, this is America. You're going to be gouged for water.

Oh, shit. She's got me. It was amazing. She, like, shut her up. And then the next time I saw them, they were at the counter checking out, and they all had waters. And there was just some equally semi-attractive, but potentially 80-year-old woman there paying with a credit card.

And she goes, don't worry, it's on frank and they all like and then they like walked away and i was like what the hell just happened admittedly she's right you shouldn't ever pay 669 for water yeah that's insane yeah that's crazy most of the food there was like overly expensive however there was a saturday morning We went to a buffet At the Four Seasons Which is right next to the Mandalay Bay Way out of the way No one there One of the absolute best buffets

I've ever been to Not because it was like You know those buffets where you're going Scoop shit out of trays It wasn't that Each menu item that you could get at the buffet Came in it's own sort of little dishes. So if you wanted to get, I don't know, like the chilaquiles,

it was a little tiny, like, plate with the chips and the salsa, whatever. If you wanted to get avocado toast, it was like a little tiny baby toast with avocado spread and, like, one little tomato on it. But there were hundreds of them, right? There was like trays of them. So it was like little tiny baby plates on these big trays, and they were constantly restocking them, and it was super fresh.

Oh, my God. They had full dim sum. It was great. They had a guy making fresh donuts. I was like, this is the greatest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. It was wild. Poor Davis couldn't stop eating the donuts. He got four donuts.

Then he got four more donuts. They were like mini donuts. They weren't huge. He got four more donuts. Then as we were leaving he got two more. We were just losing our mind because he's like, oh man. I got to watch out for my diabetes. We're like, dude, you're only eating donuts. It was incredible.

I got a bunch of dim sum and I got avocado toast. It was great. I got like a bunch of dim sum And I got like avocado toast It was great I had a good time That does sound like a good time It was yeah I was surprised that it was like a little Hidden gem and I knew it was the spot Because as we were leaving All of the um

Like Street Fighter 6 guys And the dude who made Tekken Harada showed up to eat there. And I was like, oh, this must be the spot. This is where like all the executives are coming. Okay. All right. So I felt pretty good.

I was like, oh, we made a fine choice. Okay. Yeah, that's where like the E3 people are going. Those like guys in suits. Yes, 100%. It was like so completely hidden and out of the way. I was like, oh, and out of the way. I was like, oh, this is, yeah, this makes sense.

Yeah, that's, I always think Vegas is like such a crazy city. There's like, it has so many elements to it. Like you've got people just going there to gamble. There's like the old people that are like, oh, gambling. And there's like the young people that are like, yeah, I'm going to get drunk and go crazy. And then there's people just going there for like going to shows. Like, I bring my family to go to the old magic show. Shit like that.

And then there's like every aspect is fulfilled there. Like, it's insane. Yeah. And at the same time, it sucks, too. Yeah. Like, it's weird. Vegas has so much going on. And at the same time it sucks too yeah like it's weird vegas has so much going on and at the same time it kind of sucks like i'm never truly happy when i'm in vegas i'm like yeah i'll go vegas is the cheesecake factory of cities yeah that's a good way to put it like you're never truly happy when you're there, but it'll get the job done. Like, you'll find something. Yeah.

Everyone will find one thing they're happy with, but it's not like, great. There's a lot. You get a lot. But it's like, all right. I mean, it's all right. It's like the ultimate materialistic spot. Yeah. One night we tried to find food.

This was so bonkers. After Evo was done, the big show, we went out to go find food, and we're like, yo, do you guys want pizza? Let's go get pizza. We went to this pizza place that everyone recommended. We get there, and the guy's like, we're out of dough, so I guess you get pasta. And it hit me, dough is like flour and water.

How hard is it to make new dough, bro? Yeah. I mean, that's like when I went to the Waffle House. They're out of waffles. Like, it's not. That should be the easy. If you're out of sauce. Okay, I get it.

That's a little tougher. You probably order it or something, right? But, like, you're out of dough? What the hell? Well, you're a pizza dough? What the hell? You're a pizza place. Just go make more. Crazy.

They're like, yeah, we're out of dough. Oh, all right. So we didn't find anything. So my food that night is I went and got one of those slushy booze, slushy drinks and went to bed. I was like, I'll get food in the morning. Now that's the meal of champions. Yeah. I was like, I need to food in the morning. Now that's the meal of champions. Yeah, I was like, I need to cool down. I need something cold.

So I got a strawberry slushy drink with rum in it and went to bed and was like, let's go. Drank that down and fell asleep. It was great. Woke up the next day. You know what? Nothing ever worked out the way I wanted. Driving back, I had two stops I wanted to make. I either wanted to go to the Greek restaurant, that famous Greek restaurant that's on the way between Vegas and L.A.

Or I wanted to go to this place that's called like Old Town and Chicken Meat. It's a restaurant in a gas station in the middle, literally the middle of nowhere. And they're famous for their not plum milkshakes, date milkshakes. What the shit? I know, dude. I was like, I need to try a date milkshake and I need to get a chicken sandwich from this place. So my thought was if I leave early enough, I can get there.

And if it's open or not, whatever, I'll just move on and I'll end up at the Greek place, and I'll get lunch there. So what ended up happening is I get there at exactly 11 o'clock when this place opens. It's like, perfect timing, Jesse. You nailed it. Roll into the parking lot. There is a line of about 40 people waiting to get into this place.

Here's the thing. There's nothing there, dude. It is this gas station And a bunch of roads and the desert There's nothing else around And there are 40 people And like I don't know Two dozen cars parked there

What the shit It must be the spot It was 11am on a Monday I couldn't believe it So I was like alright well Guess I'm going to the Greek place So I go to the Greek place. So I go to the Greek place. The Greek place, completely packed too.

I was like, okay, well, got to find something to eat because I'm starving. The closest place nearby, a Del Taco. Rolled into the Del Taco like, yeah, can I just get one double Del burger with no sauce? They're like, yeah, okay. I just got the burger and I drove home eating that like disappointed. Like nothing works out when you go to Vegas. Vegas sucks. So you just double.

Although I do like double Del burgers, but like whatever. Suck. How do you get it? I thought it was Del Taco. You get a burger at a taco place? I'm telling you. If you ever go to Del Taco, get a double Del burger. You can get it with a sauce if you want.

But it's like just a double cheeseburger with lettuce and onion and tomato and it's a good burger. I don't know how to explain it. They grill the bun. We don't have Del Tacos. Del Taco's fine. The tacos are great. I would say they're better than Taco Bell.

But, you know, I didn't want to... I can't eat a taco while driving. Yeah, but it must be like a West Coast only. It is 100% West Coast only. I've never seen it outside of LA, ever. Oh, and here we go. Del Taco is California,

Colorado, Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah. You're in Ohio now? Wow. Yeah, and Washington. Well, I mean, I have been here for 11 years now, so I imagine the world's changed.

The outside world of LA. Well, there's four Del Tacos in all of Ohio. Yeah, but I mean, where in Ohio? Belafontein. Okay. Circleville. I do know where Circleville is. Okay.

Okay. Marion. I do know where Marion is. And Whitehall. I do know. So basically, like, not major city, city stuff. Right. Yeah.

I mean, I'd imagine most people are going to Del Taco are probably going to be you know. I don't know. I bet Del Taco would do good in a city. Del Taco is... There used to be a Del Taco near me and then they tore it down and put up a Chick-fil-A and I'm like, man, there's Chick-fil-A's everywhere. I don't need a Chick-fil-A.

I want that Del Taco back. I think it's just crazy they got burgers. They only have that. There's not like a bunch of burgers. There's literally all tacos, burritos, and then that one specific thing. Is it like a taco burger? No.

It literally is two burger patties, cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato, and then a sauce they have that's like you know what you would imagine like some sort of thousand island dressing kind of thing like a burger sauce and then like buns that they grill that's it and I just get it without the sauce because I'm not like a huge sauce guy so it's just a very generic burger then but it just tastes good yeah it's like

it tastes better than you would get at most fast food places huh it tastes a little fresher I don't know how to describe it dude It tastes better than you would get at most fast food places. Huh. I don't know. It tastes a little fresher. I don't know how to describe it, dude. It just doesn't taste like shit. And I was like, all right, cool.

And so I got one of those. Yeah, I missed out on my weird chicken sandwich and date. Hold on. Maybe we can find this. Date milkshake. Date milkshake. Is it in Nevada? California. No, in Nevada? California.

No, it's in California. It's right. Indio, California. Indio? Is that what it is? Indio, California? Shields. Well, that doesn't help me at all.

It literally, there's plenty of places that have 10 best date milkshakes. I guess Indio is where date milkshakes come from? That's so weird. Is it the Shields Date Garden? No, this was a gas station, bro. Oh. Date milkshake gas station? California. Oh, yeah, I'm going to find it here.

Palm Springs is famous for their date milkshakes. I didn't know that. California lawmaker proposes official state milkshake as date milkshakes. What the shit? World famous date shakes. Date land. Shield.

No, that's not it. That's not it. I'd recognize this place immediately. This was like in the middle of the high desert. This wasn't a restaurant, dude. This was a gas station. It was near Baker, California, if that helps. Okay, let's see.

Where's Baker, California? Baker, California is right near Las Vegas. Okay, Los Angeles, date shakes. Baker, California. Okay, here we go. This does look like the middle of nowhere. Oh, here we go, here we go this does look like the middle of nowhere oh here we go here we go

did he say it was in Baker or near Baker it was near it it was not even remotely near anywhere in the world it was so by itself was it before Baker on the drive or after Baker?

I literally couldn't tell you, dude. You're asking a lot of questions I have no answers for. Baker's got Del Taco. That could be the one you went to. That's where I got my Del Taco. So it would be before Baker. Okay, that's what I thought. I was trying to piece that.

Del Taco was the last. So it would be before Baker on the 15 headed towards Vegas. All right. I got this. I got this. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. Any second, it's going to pop up. Okay, 15.

Here it is. What about in Prim? Prim Racetrack. Buffalo Bills Resort and Casino. Whiskey Pete's. Yeah, those are pretty great, but it's after that. Okay. Dude, is this thing even on the map?

California Agricultural Inspection. Port of Entry. Oh, wait, did I find it? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I think I might have. Okay. This could be it.

This could be it. SEMA Mining Co. This could be it. Semaminingco? Oh, yeah. No, this has to be it. Yeah, this is it. If you go to, on the Barstow Freeway, the 15, to the Semamining Company, the place is called Birdhouse.

Holy crap. Yeah, there's nothing there, dude. Let's see. Sima Mining Co. Yes, 24-hour convenience mart. I can't even find it. Bird House? Yeah, just Sima Mining Co.

Oh, yeah. Sima Mining Co. It is in the middle of nowhere. It's well before the Mad Greek, which is the Greek place I wanted to go to. Oh, yeah. Oh, there it is. Wow. That told you.

It is. There is nothing there. It didn't even show up on the map. What the shit? What the shit? It is legitimately like the buildings around it are all old containers. And there is nothing. If you go to like try, there isn't even an earth view of it. But if you look at all the photos, it is straight like high desert.

Oh, yeah, this is. Birdhouse hand-breaded fried chicken. Everyone said it was delicious, dude. Look at that picture. It's a dog on a Google map. There. I like the fact that there's just straight. They got 30 kinds of beef jerky.

That's a lot of jerky. They got the best date milkshake you ever had i was like oh man i gotta have that date milkshake the chicken doesn't look even remotely half bad it looks delicious yeah it looks pretty good fries look mediocre i'm not there for the fries you know what i mean i think they just throw those in they got one of those old tower guys who raised their fortune but yeah if you go down to there's a photo from five years ago actually yeah julie burke took this photo it's from the parking lot and it's just a desert just a desert crazy oh yeah

i see that yeah and at night It's scary Like this reminds me of that time I drove to JP's wedding And I stayed at a Cause it took me two days to get there Cause I didn't want to drive fast I was just kidding The

One night when I I ended up at a hotel It was A nice hotel But in the middle of nowhere And at night When you looked out the window It was pitch black, dude.

The only lights were the parking lot, and it was filled with cars, but beyond that, it could have been the ocean for all I knew. There was nothing out there. Night in the desert is scary. I don't like that shit. I'm not made for it. I don't like any type of middle of nowhere, country or desert. It's freaky. Not a fan.

Yeah, man. I showed up at 11 a.m. to get to the birdhouse, and that place, the line was so long. Ah, ridiculous. Looking at it now, I'm like, man, I wish I would have got a burger. But you would have had to wait in line. Yeah, I know. I wanted to get back to it.

So what sucks about driving anywhere into L.A LA is you have to be like, okay, what time will I arrive? Because if I arrive after 2 p.m., I might as well not come back until 7. Because from 2 to 7, it's going to be traffic. It's going to be crazy. So I was like, I got to get into the city and back home before 2 p.m. So my entire trip was planned around that. And I did. And I did what I needed

to do, but like it's crazy. Missed out. Yeah. Sacrifices. Dude, they got honey butter chicken? What does that even mean? I gotta stop looking at this place. Alright, moving on. I think I've heard of that, honey butter chicken.

I think they just mix honey and butter, put it on chicken. Dude, there's the Valley Wells smelter. What is that? The old smelter. Nearby, there is a giant smelter that's run down. Whoa, I would not want to go there. It's a smelter that no longer is in use But people camp there

Nah, I'm alright That's where people go to die Oh yeah, 100% I'm looking at these photos There are definitely dead bodies in there No doubt about it There's nothing nearby at all The only thing nearby are two cemeteries

Yeah The only thing nearby are two cemeteries. And a mountain that you can climb, I guess. But I'm good. I'm all right. Yeah, this is nothing. Yeah, it's very weird driving back because when you leave Vegas, you immediately leave this giant city in the desert, and then you hit a bunch of desert along the way,

and every once in a while you'll come across a very small town of, I don't know, four or five houses that definitely don't seem to be populated. And then you hit, I think it's like, whatever town the Route 66 Museum's in, I don't know what that town's called. But you hit that town, and suddenly there's people again, but it's not big. And then all of a sudden, you hit Baker, California, I think it is. And then that's, no, it's Victorville. No, it's Barstow. You hit Barstow. Barstow.

Yeah, and suddenly you're in like, oh, I'm back in society. And from that point on, from Barstow on, there's just houses everywhere. Yeah, it's crazy. But then I realized like, oh, I did drive through literally the mojave national preserve so yeah like the road between las vegas if it gives anyone any indication the road from las vegas to la drives directly through death valley national park and the mojave national preserve both of the most barren desert places in the united States. It's wild. Yeah, that's crazy.

That's like, I guess here it's more just like corn. You just get farms and corn. I mean, that's like if you drive between L.A. and San Francisco, exact same vibe. Except instead of corn, it's like almonds and oranges, but it's all farmland. The entire way is farmland. It's crazy. Yeah, I didn't even think of that. Makes sense.

I mean, most of California, like north of San Francisco and between San Francisco and L.A. is like all farmland, dude. It's where most of – a lot of the crops in the United States come from there. It reminds me like the Bairns, World of Warcraft. It's like so big, you got the northern and the southern parts. It really, dude, Northern California is a different beast from Southern California. It's like an entirely different place. Yeah, it just feels like a different state.

I mean, it's most of the West Coast. Yeah, it is true. But California is giant. It's a huge state, yeah. I mean, lengthwise. Right? Like, Texas is – I'm trying to think of how long it took me to drive across Texas the one time I did. Like, three days?

Two days? Texas is just wide. It's too wide. Yeah, it's too wide. Too big. Yeah, too too wide Too big Too big So yeah I don't know how we got on that But here we are

Sometimes you just want a nice overcast day. You know, shade, all that good stuff. But, you know, it's all about variety. Variety is the spice of life. Aside from spices, which are also the spices of life. Back to you. Speaking of variety, we just spent 15, 20 minutes looking up a random store in the middle of the desert. And that was most of the podcast.

And honestly, it's fine. I'm sure some will enjoy it. We'll get a letter like, you guys aren't even trying anymore. No, we've never tried. It's number one. Yeah, you clearly just started listening. Listen, this podcast, it's like, you know, it's like sometimes you get a home run, sometimes strikeout.

Sometimes it's a single left field. You never know what you're going to get. This would have been great if our next segment was sports, but instead it's weather. Yep. Weather. Oh, boy. Weather time.

It is... Let's see. We got a weather request from... hometown of Visby, Sweden. Right now, it's medieval week, where the whole town is full of LARPers reenacting the Danish invasion of 1361. There's also a lot of jousting and medieval events.

Well, now I'm looking up LARP. Visby, Sweden, LARP. I'm here for it. All right, here we go. We got Visby, Sweden. Let me see the weather here, currently 59 degrees because it's nighttime. Humidity, 90%. Pressure, 30.01 inches. Visibility, 6 miles. Wind, 6 miles an hour, 2.56. UV index, 0 of 11. 508 AM sunrise, 832 PM sunset. And a waning crescent moon phase.

And Monday, 69, nice a.m. showers. You know what, Visby, Sweden? I'm going to say something. Out of all the European cities we've seen that have been like, come see our medieval this, medieval that, this city actually looks like it's still in the 1400s. It actually does, yeah. This city looks like it's medieval.

It even has its walls still. This is wild. All right, I found one photo where a giant cruise ship is there, but other than that, the entire place looks like it's still old. I love it. It's also on its own island. Yeah, this is... You see that? Yeah, so I'm like, wow. What would you call that island? Gotland? Wow.

What would you call that island? Gotland? Yeah, that's Gotland. Gotland? Got milk? Gotland? I'm curious. Was it ever Sweden?

Was it ever like the Finns or, I don't know, Poland? Did you guys ever fight over that island? Was there like a great Gotland war? There had to have been. There had to have been. There had to have been. A hundred percent. It's just right in the middle of the Baltic sea. You're telling me Sweden got it.

The medieval week you just mentioned said they're reenacting the Danish invasion. So clearly somebody, you're right. You know what? You're right. You're absolutely correct. You're correct. So yeah,

the Danish, we're just like, yeah, the Danish King. Yeah. Let're just like, ooh. Yeah, the Danish king. Yeah. Let's take that island. I love how you were like, yeah, it's from the Danish invader. And I was like, dude, you think there was a war?

Who's thought over this? I'm so stupid. I'm going to blame it on this medicine. Yeah, just blame the medicine. There you go. That's what I do. I blame my concussion if I forget something. That's what I forgot. This medicine my concussion if I forget something. That's what I forgot.

This medicine got me all messed up. Yeah. Yeah, this place is pretty sick. They got any fun... I'm already looking. There's... They got pizza. Grabo pizza?

Glass magazine-net? It's weird to me What the shit Eh Go to Grabo Pizza Second picture down I don't know what I'm looking at It looks like a pizza butthole Grabo Kvartor Skrag

Oh yeah It looks delicious I don't know what I'm looking at But it's like Apparently Whoa Apparently that pizza dude Alright

So you see the butthole pizza right Yeah This is what it turns into The butthole pizza That's part one That's the uncooked version The cooked version looks delicious dude So basically they take this pizza

Oh I think I might have sent you the wrong thing Yeah Hold on So they take this pizza Uh Crand I think I might have sent you the wrong thing. Yeah. Hold on. So they take this pizza. Crennor, describe the butthole pizza. Like the previous version? Let's see.

Yeah. It's like a star in the middle. That's the butthole. And then kind of like the star symbol on the phone or like, you know, the, what's it called? Asterisks? Yeah, it looks like a sphincter is what you mean. Yeah, the sphincter. And then you got like some ground beef. You got some onions or something.

Like around the outside edge are little piles of meats. Yeah. Like one's ham and one's, yeah, one's like pepperoni and one's like bacon or some shit. One's chicken. Here's what it actually looks like in the end. Ham and ones Yeah ones like pepperoni and ones like bacon or some shit Ones chicken Here's what it actually looks like in the end Oh shit they like pile up the middle Dude the middle that sphincter

Is really the reason why it's empty They put french fries and it looks like Yeah that's that gyro meat Or I guess they call it the kebab meat Yeah straight up just kebab meat, just like shaved in there with french fries, and the outside are little pockets of other meats. Bro, that is the drunkest

I need to eat this shit in my... I've ever seen. Yeah, that is pretty crazy. It looks delicious. Wow, yeah. That would be a great, like, we're all like, we went out, we had a good night, let's go get some food. That's the meal right there. Damn, yeah, that's a solid one.

You know what? Yeah, Grabo went from being mediocre to top tier. Dude, I mean, I'm looking at the other food. Pizza's not all they serve. They serve, it looks great. Yeah, they got pretty good stuff looking around. They got some weird fish thing where they stick fish and meats around potatoes. Like a potato, I don't even know how to describe.

Like, all right, Gravo. I found it. Every time we find a place like this, we always find there it is. The American Diner. Mel's American Diner. It's got like all the American stuff all over like Elvis, Betty Boop. A lot of Elvis.

Coca-Cola, Bottle Cap, the giant diner chairs. My favorite part is outside is an Elvis just giant Elvis statue. Oh yeah. Jamming out. Like a bunch of shitty motorcycles that are rusted. The jukeboxes.

Yeah, these burgers don't look that great. This one looks okay. They're like too saucy. They're covered with too much shit. Yeah, too much sauce. You don't need that much sauce. Yeah, I'm looking at this one that has a layer of cheese sauce and the bottom is a layer of mayonnaise. And not just like a little bit. Like a lot of it.

Yeah, it's oozing off. I'm all right. That's the thing. Some people add too much sauce. You don't need that. The sauce is supposed to complement. I'm not a sauce guy. I need like, you give me a thin layer just for the flavor and I'm good.

I don't need like a bunch. That's what it should be. Otherwise, you're just eating sauce. Yeah, I had this epiphany about chicken wings. Coat it, but don't, there doesn't even need like a pool of sauce in the bottom of the wings. That's too much. be otherwise you're just eating sauce yeah i had this epiphany about chicken wings coat it but don't i don't there doesn't even be like a pool of sauce in the bottom of the wings that's too much too much i don't want that and some people might be you know what they'll ask for it yeah exactly you should be able to say i'd like a freaking pool of sauce in my sandwich and or chicken wings

please yeah see that's like not with the Italian beef in Chicago. You go to, like, Italian Beef Play, you get it, like, dipped, or you can, like, drench it. You know, you tell them. You can say dry if you don't want any dip. Yeah, I don't want it dipped. I want it nice and dry. The only, like, juice I want is from those spicy-ass peppers you put on there.

Yeah, and then you get a little on the side if you want to put it on there. Yeah. Or you dip. Yeah. There you go uh so anyway uh that's the weather okay let's go to sports sports here we are sports desk taking a look at sports we've got baseball standings getting crazy Orioles and getting crazy Minnesota Twins in first Rangers in first Atlanta Braves in first the Brewers in first and the Dodgers in first uh then we got the wild card standings currently with the Tampa Bay Rays

the Astros and the Blue Jays in the American League and in the National League, we have the Phillies, Giants, and Marlins with the Cubs only a half game back, but there's still like four weeks to go or something. Oof. Yeah. We still got quite a few games, but we're getting there. And then football started up preseason. Hard Knocks started.

That's been fun to watch. And, you know, I'd go over preseason stats, but it up preseason. Hard Knocks started. That's been fun to watch. And, you know, I'd go over preseason stats, but it's preseason. Why bother? Yeah. It's just fun seeing football on again. I'm just like, hell yeah, football. So I like that. And then Women's World Cup.

I actually don't know who won. It wasn't America. That's for sure. Bracket. Who won? Yeah, I didn't actually see. Oh, they're still playing. So right now it's Australia-England

against the winner of Spain-Sweden. Ooh, okay. Yeah, so Sweden beat the United States in the shootout, which I saw. Japan beat Norway. Netherlands beat South Africa. Spain beat Switzerland. Then Spain beat Netherlands, and Sweden beat Japan,

so that's why they're up there. And they play on Tuesday. I'm not going to lie. I really would have liked Japan. I'm just going to say. I like the Japan team. I did, too. I was cheering for Japan, but sad times.

Colombia beat Jamaica. England beat Nigeria and then England beat Colombia and then France beat Morocco. Australia beat Denmark and then Australia looks like tied with France during the game and I guess they won during shootouts. So now it's Australia, England.

So they play on Wednesday. So Tuesday and Wednesday are the games. And then it looks like next Sunday is the championship game. I mean this in the nicest way to all my British fans out there. I really want Australia to win. Yeah, well this is like they're playing at home pretty much. It's like New Zealand.

to win. Yeah, well this is like they're playing at home pretty much. It's like New Zealand. I want Australia versus let's say Sweden. Isn't Sweden number one? Aren't they favored to win? Let's see.

Spain. Let me check the Spain. I want the Aussies to have this one. I want the Aussies to just Aussie it up. It looks like Spain was second place to Japan and then Sweden was first place. So actually, I want

underdog Spain here. I mean, that's fine. That's fine. Spain's cool, but also I feel like Aussies versus Sweden would be a hell of a... I feel like the Swedish and the Aussies would fight. I think so, yeah. The Swedes and the Aussies would just be like,

oi, oi, oi, oi, oi. I kind of want to see that. I kind of want to see that. Yeah. And then England's like the top seed as well because England – Yes, England's very good, and they'll probably win. But what if? What if?

I agree. What if? I'm cheering for the what ifs. I'm all about the what if what if i agree what if i'm cheering for the what ifs i'm all about the what ifs uh that's sports okay what is our fact of the day fact of the day day day i actually lost my facts tab. Facts tab lost. You lost it. Don't worry. I typed it in, and we've got fun facts random from Cosmopolitan, my favorite website. Oh, cool. Just the coolest. Oh, boy.

Here we go. We have – hold on. I want to see if they have any, like – Real facts? Okay, yeah. No, I meant, like, Cosmo facts. Oh, okay. Because they have, like, some real facts,

but they're just, like, ones we've heard. I want to see, like, Cosmo facts. And I think we have... Amy Poehler was only seven years older than Rachel McAdams when she took on the role of Cool Mom in Mean Girls. Rachel was 25 as Regina George. Amy was 32 as her mom. Amy Poehler was 32?

I mean, I get it. It's about who you can pull off, right? Yeah, I get it too. It's just I didn't realize Amy Poehler was 32 in that movie. Now she's 51. Yeah, that's because that movie came out forever ago. It did come out forever ago. Yeah.

Damn. It's just, you start hitting that point. I feel like you've already hit this point where you see everybody's just younger than you. I'm not even stressed about that. Like, that doesn't affect me at all. Like, people have always been younger than me, you know what I mean? Especially, I existed in a YouTube place where, like, I started when I was 29. So most of the people operating in and around me have always been younger than me you know what i mean especially i existed in youtube place where like i started when i was 29 so most of the people operating in and around me have always been younger than me even the

people who were my air quotes bosses so like it's a young people's space the thing that messes me up is celebrities that i've known my entire life just dying yeah that's pretty messed up celebrities that have always been there people have been like wow that's one of my favorite oh they're dead it's like whoa and it starts to happen more and more frequency like with frequency and you know Yeah, that's pretty messed up.

Like with frequency, you know that's like, oh, no, I'm getting old. Yeah.

This is just time taking all of us out. Like, okay, cool, cool, cool. I think mine's just seeing the like sports where it's like I used to be like, oh, man, I'm as old as the athletes getting into the like the draft now. They're going to all their teams. And you're like, all right. You know, now it's like I'm as old as the old athletes now and you're like oh yeah uh yep it's yeah plus yeah i feel like i saw a tiktok where there's this old man deleting stuff from his phone and they're just like why are you deleting people and he's like they're dead

What's going on? Yep.

So a mischievous California black bear's reign of terror has finally come to an end. Last week, wildlife officials were able to capture... First off, reign of terror, please. This is sensationalist media right here. USA Today. Yeah, fake news. Fake news. Last week, wildlife officials were able to capture and immobilize a large female bear whom DNA testing tied to at least 21 home break-ins and instances of extensive property damage in southern Lake Tahoe.

The bear is one of several of her species to earn the moniker Hank the Tank. There's numerous Hank the Tanks. Hank the Tank is, you know, it's like... It's an embodiment. Yeah, yeah, like anyone could be Hank the Tank. It's like anyone, you know, it's like... It's an embodiment. Yeah, yeah. Like, anyone could be Hank the Tank. It's like anyone could be Spider-Man. Same thing.

It's like how we learned about Big Lou from those ads. Yeah, anyone could be Big Lou. Right, yeah. Everyone could be Big Lou. Except Hank the Tank is a real thing. Yeah. With her days of home invasions and property damage firmly behind her, the bear, formerly registered as 64F, has been since relocated to Colorado Wildlife Sanctuary,

where she will live out her days. Colorado Parks and Wildlife approved the relocation, which occurred earlier this week, but the bear was picked up by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife lab in Rancho Cordova. The bear had to undergo a veterinary check before being transported. The bear is being held in temporary holding enclosure at the wild animal sanctuary, a sprawling refuge with facilities spanning more than 33,000 acres.

That's a lot of acres. Freedom for Hank! 33,000 acres isn't big enough for Hank! Once she acclimates to the sights, sounds, and smells of her new home, Craig said she'll be released into a 230-acre habitat. Craig said the habitat is forested with pine trees for Hank or Henrietta to roam freely, interact with other rescued black bears, and even hibernate. Black bears' three cubs also relocated.

What? As for her three cubs, who were also captured, they were transported last Friday to Sonoma Country County Wildlife Rescue. The goal is for the cubs to undergo rehabilitation so they can be released back into the wild. The cubs who were with their mother during the break-in. What do they mean by rehabilitation? So they can't eat hamburgers anymore?

What are they trying to do? What are they doing here rehabilitation? So they can't eat hamburgers anymore? What are they trying to do? Yeah, what are they doing here? This is unbelievable. This is some sort of brainwashing. I don't like it. Yeah. The Cubs, who were with their mother during the break-ins,

were given a thorough health assessment. Wildlife officials believe one of the Cubs was hit and injured by a vehicle last month, though it remains mobile. What? I mean, that vehicle had to be totaled. Yeah, that vehicle's done. Yeah, get him out of here. Driver injured. Everyone hurt.

Hank the Tank is multiple mayhem-causing bears. The animal was one of several large bears that gained notoriety for problems that caused a wide stretch of land between Northern California and Nevada. Lake Tahoe locals, perhaps not realizing multiple suspects were behind the ursine mischief, came up with the nickname Hank the Tank for any large black bear spotted causing mayhem.

Wait, hold on. Hold on. So maybe this bear was like, Hank, you gotta get out of here. I'll take the fall for you. My cubs and I will find better home there. Go Hank, go. And Hank's I'll take the fall for you. My cubs and I will find a better home there. Go, Hank, go. And Hank's like, I can't leave you.

She's like, no. You were born to eat man food. I must protect my cubs. You go. And so Hank's still out there, dude. Hank's still out there. Hank's still out there. This is like when people think they kill Batman, but Batman's always there, bro.

Yeah. Ready to steal your picnic baskets yep your picnic basket um let's see relocation of conflict bears is not common the agency's black bear policy update and released in february of 2022 allows replacement and relocation of so-called conflict bears particularly when other non-lethal management options have been exhausted. Though relocation is not typical, officials with California Department of Fish and Wildlife admitted that the decision was partly due to the animal's popularity. Given the widespread interest in this bear

and the significant risks of a serious incident involving the bear, the wildlife agency is employing an alternate solution to safeguard the bear's family as well as the people in South Lake Tahoe. Hell yes. Everyone loves that bear. That's true. I mean, that's pretty good. That's a pretty nice story then.

Yeah, and as we all know, the real Hank is still out there. Still out there waiting. We're with you, Hank. Whenever you strike again, we will be here to champion you. You did nothing wrong. We're in your territory, buddy. You eat those pies. Yeah, eat those pies.
