Wake your ass up. It's the next Grendor in the morning. Happy, happy, happy, happy Grendor in the morning. Hello, everybody. We're signing off with a little go. Gax and Grendor, I guess, in the morning. Woo, I'd redo that one, but I'm not gonna. That's the spirit.

Yep. Just keep moving forward. We're going to yes and this entire podcast. Stumble over your words. Hell no. Keep going. Just keep going. I mean, to be fair, we're on episode 400 and whatever.

There's probably been worse. 425. 425 of these. I guarantee there's been some worse openings. I think there was one you were like, you know? Yeah, and I didn't like that one either. Yeah. I felt bad about that one too. But you forget about it and you move on.

Oh, no. No, I clearly do not. Why? Do you like stay awake at night thinking about it? Yeah. Sad music plays. I'm in the shower. One hand on the wall as cold water drips down my face. Like, I messed it up again.

I messed it up again. Never forgive me. You know what? There probably is one guy that's like, stupid, Jesse Cox. Stupid. Stupid. He messed it up again. There's got to be one.

That guy is me. That guy is me. That's the one. How you doing? You had your birthday. How was your birthday? It was fine. My birthday was good.

I am not – we've talked about this before, and I don't know why. I'm sure it's some psychological thing. I get so awkward when people wish me happy birthday. I'm not sure why that is. I don't know if it's just because I am like, I didn't do anything though. Like I didn't earn your congratulations. You know what I mean? I don't know.

Like I just lived long enough to have another birthday and uh so i get real awkward about it and i'm i'm more of a gift giver than a gift receiver so when i get things i'm like no i don't what i do to earn this i didn't like like why'd you give this to me like you know it's none of those like suspicious things it's just like don't like oh i don't you didn't have to that's just who i am it's just that I don't. Like, oh, I don't, you didn't have to. That's just who I am. It's who I've always been. And so I didn't really do anything for my birthday. But in the office here, all the office kids made me a delicious lunch and cupcakes.

And that was very sweet. Although, to be honest, it wasn't all of them was just kendra in the office and everyone else took credit but whatever you know you know group projects and then it's like uh it's like when your mom buys you a present for somebody like grandma and you're like wow great you picked this out jimmy and it's literally like your mom got it you're like wow yeah yeah my dad and i had a lot of that when i was a kid We'd go to the store and he's like no no this will be from you And I'm like okay Yeah

But then You know after that I spent most of the time doing a whole bunch of nothing I streamed a little bit Usually every year for my birthday I'll do a stream Of something that I don't necessarily want to do So you know in the past I did Subnautica, and I hated that. That sucked.

And for my birthday this year. You think it's the opposite. You do something you want to do. No, no, no. It's something that I have to force myself to do that I know will entertain others. So it's like my gift to people is I'm doing a thing that I know you'll love but I won't like. And I don't know why that cosmically balances me out, but I feel good at the end of it. I'm like, yeah, all right.

Here's to another 365. I'm not having to go back to this. And so this year I played Blue Mage in Final Fantasy XIV. And Blue Mage is literally like you go around and learn abilities from monsters. And then you use those abilities in like an arena to do specialized one-on-one fights with even tougher things. And it is absolutely like one of those every fight is a gimmick fight kind of things. And it's puzzles. So it's like one was there's a bunch of slimes.

And you have to somehow kill the slimes and the slimes explode. And these two towers that shoot electricity. And the gimmick was you had to pull the slimes around the corner to the towers, blow them up, and they'd trigger and then explode the tower, right? But you had to be in a certain area so you weren't hit by the explosion. It was that kind of thing. And so I've put off doing that since I started playing this game. I have had no interest in doing it. I was like, mm was like, that sounds too brain hard. I don't want it. And so I was like, fine, I'll do it. And so, uh, that was super fun. It was stupid as hell. I can't wait to not

have to do it again for another, you know, three 65 or the hell. And, um, Yeah, that's kind of what I did. The only cute thing is that my parents and I went to a vegan restaurant. And I don't know if they knew it was a vegan restaurant because they were like, we want to take you to this place. I was like, okay. So I went with them. And they ordered. Basically, it was, I don't know, like five o'clock and so there was a happy hour thing going on and there was drinks and then they had like tapas and it was a bunch of small plates my parents clearly didn't know what they were ordering so they ordered one of

everything and again it wasn't a lot of stuff. It was just like the little short menu. But they got one of everything. And they, at the time, I thought liked it. Right? They were eating this one pumpkin seed guacamole dip thing. They were devouring it. They were like, oh, we love this. My mom found something that was like a tostada. and they were like, whoa, we love this.

My mom found something that was like a tostada, but the tostada, instead of meat, had like some sort of watermelon relish thing on it, which I'll be honest, slapped. It was delicious. But it was vegan stuff. They ordered a queso fondido, but the queso was some sort of almond cheese thing. And I realized something changed in them when my mom and dad were eating all the different foods and i went to go dip into the to the fake cheese and

my my dad who's definitely on that like jesse you better stop eating that fake cheese oh yeah trying to be on a diet, dude. And I was like, oh, no, this isn't cheese. This isn't cheese dip. This is almonds. My dad was like, what? My mom was like, it's not cheese? I was like, no, this is a vegan restaurant.

I think they thought maybe it was vegetarian. Yeah. But the minute i said vegan like an like a switch flipped i don't know what happened a switch flipped and there was an attitude change and when we got back to uh my parents place and we had like a little birthday cake thing with with them um my mom looked at me and she goes you know i think i'm a carnivore i was like wait a minute were you guys into the concept of the vegetarian place but then the minute i told you it was vegan you were like not for us it's like hold up

what just happened here i mean it's the uh it's gotta be that like the bias type thing where as soon as you hear something you're like oh i don like this, because now I know that it's correlated with this thing that I'm like, I don't know. Right? It was, yeah, and I don't know if that's what did it, or maybe they, because they ate a bunch of food, but maybe because it was all, like, there was one thing that was like a Caesar salad cup. And imagine if you went to – I'm trying to think of like a P.F. Chang's, like just some generic Asian restaurant where they would do the like chopped up various meats and the things and then they put it in like a lettuce wrap vibe. It's that, but it was like a little lettuce wrap, but then a Caesar salad thing in it. It was very cute, but also just salad. It was a cup of salad. And they seem to enjoy that.

They enjoy like all sorts of different things. But I think maybe because at the end of the day, it wasn't like ultra filling. That maybe they were like, I'm still hungry. Like, I don't know what, I don't want to say it was because I just said it was vegan,

but it had all the hints that that's what did it. Well, what, it. Have they eaten stuff like that before? Like even just vegetarian stuff? Boy, I would like to say yes. But I thought about it. And I have no evidence that that's the case. I can't remember a time my parents were like, let's go to this vegetarian place.

Let alone a time my parents were like, love the vegan. Like, I just don't know. Here's the thing. I thought it was fine. I can smash some vegan veggie stuff any day of the week. It does not bother me at all. But I don't know. I have no answers for you.

I don't know. I have no answers for you. The one thing I do know is my dad apparently loves mocking people who dress similarly. Oh, you mean like two people wear the same thing? Oh my god, there's this group of, I'm going to say 40-something women, dressed to go to an NSYNC concert. And they all look the exact same. All of them. And my dad could not get over it He was like I forgot to wear my NSYNC outfit

Okay They had like those They had those like big brim hats too Ah yeah Like that hipster hat My dad was like I forgot mine at home I was like Okay dad okay

Now you say that But the fact that there's an NSYNC concert happening is what blows my mind more. I looked it up on my phone at the moment because my dad kept saying NSYNC, NSYNC, and I was like, I don't know if that's true. But then one of the girls literally had NSYNC merch on. So I looked it up and I guess they're doing like a world tour again or something? Oh yeah, I guess. NSYNC reunion. Yeah. It makes sense. It's literally the equivalent

of remastering games. Sure, yeah. Doing that again. I was just like, really? Justin Timberlake was like, okay, fine. I'll help you guys make more money. Like, I love love i'm sure they're all great guys but it's very clearly obvious one of them became like a bajillionaire and the other four were like it's fine we'll we'll we'll be here yeah he's probably just doing

it out of nostalgia too like yeah we'll get the band back together although that's a lie i know that lance bass went on to become the voice of Final Fantasy characters for some time, which was very weird. That is pretty weird. However, I doubt he's making as much money as Justin Timberlake. Yes, yes. True, true. There's only two ways to look at it. Either one, Justin was like, alright guys, let's do this. Or two, he's like, guys, I'm running out of money. We need to do this. Please save me. There's only two ways to look at it. Yeah, let's see. Hold money. We need to do this. Please save me. There's only two ways to look at it. Yeah. Let's see. Hold on. Who are the other members?

Here's the problem. I don't remember the difference between NSYNC and New Kids on the Block. So if I were to even guess besides Lance Bass, I have no answers for you. Someone out there might be like, Jesse, that's actually from New Kids on the Block. Well, I looked up. There's JC Chazes. Chazes. JC Chazes. Ch the Block. Well, I looked up. There's JC Chazes. Chazes. JC Chazes.

Chazes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He, let's see, what does he do? Partnered, he recently partnered with Meow Mix. You know what? I partner with Meow Mix. Yeah, I partner with Meow Mix too. Are you kidding me?

Musician's been traveling with his girlfriend who recently took a trip to Italy. He's doing alright. They all got millions of dollars, right? Let's not pretend. There's Joey Fatone. Joey Fatone, yes. He looks pretty much the same,

just older and bigger. That's pretty much it. And his hair isn't dyed red anymore. Oh, yeah, he's still doing stuff. Lance Bass. Lance Bass. He launched his Frosted Tips podcast. Yep.

Him and Guy Fieri have launched the Frosted Tips podcast. To be fair, they would make a the Frosted Tips podcast. To be fair, they would make a great Frosted Tips podcast. I would listen to that. I'm not even going to lie. I bet they've got stories. I'd listen to it for like two episodes and then never listen again. I don't know, man. I figure after two episodes, they'd get me hooked.

You can only have so many stories for like Frosted Tips. You say that? But the two of them Hey, but you can only have so many stories for, like, Frosted Pips. You say that? You say that? But the two of them have led a life. That's true, maybe. And then Chris Kirkpatrick is the last one.

Right, the one I always forget about. Yeah, he's the one that probably needs the help the most. Was he the, like, what was his role in, was he like the baby, you know how they all had like a, these are the different types. You know, that's the good looking one, and that's the deep voice one, and that's the one who's silly, right? He looks like the weird one. There you go. It's him then and now. Okay, yep.

it's him then and now okay yep he's kind of the uh just like the alternative almost weird one at least like 90s alternative no he's he served as a judge at a reality lip sync battle event in august uh it was a fitting choice for judge because he was a contestant on season three of Celebrity Big Brother. And he's got a wife and a son. So yeah, he probably needs to help the most to be honest. The only reason why I remember J.C. Chazet is because of his name. Looking at his face, I don't recognize the man at all. The only people I know are Lance Bass and Joey Fatone. And I think it's because the two of them

Did like A reality show or something Or it was like two goofballs Oh maybe they were in a movie together Oh maybe I just feel like the two of them stand out On like the tier of NSYNC There's Justin Timberlake who did his thing

And then beneath the two of them Or beneath him was the two of them Lance his thing. Right. And then beneath the two of them, or beneath him, was the two of them, Lance Bass and Joey Fatone. And then the other two. Yeah, even looking back at some of the old pictures, here's an old 90s, early 2000s one, right? They just... Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can see all the different vibes there You've got

The crazy hair of Joey Fatone He's kind of like the wild Goofy guy right And then you've got Lance Bass and he looks like the sensitive one He's like a little sweetie And then there's Justin Timberlake and he's like the heartthrob But then you have Chris and JC

JC just looks like The other heartthrob. If you don't like the blonde heartthrob, you'll be into the brown haired heartthrob. And then Chris. He's like the rebellious one of the group. But he's like how every K-pop band has like the person that kind of they're like the rapper. Right. They stand out. Every K-pop group.

They have it'll be if it's girls or whatever they have like the four girls and they're just like here we are and then there's the one girl she's like yeah i'm the cool rapper girl like that's him yes it's exactly what it is all of them every single one of them are dressed in like this like oh it looks so good and then he is just like the guy who it's like a to that yes yes if you go back to that analogy of the like kpop groups it's four women dressed in barely any clothing

doing like suede sexy dancing and then one girl shows up and she's in like baggy jeans and like a t-shirt that says like murder death and she starts rapping same vibe yeah exactly that's what he is he's the NSYNC version of that. Yeah, yeah.

But also in the one photo you just sent me, he looks either like B-Real from Cypress Hill or the lead singer of Korn. He does not fit the look at all. Whichever one he is. Right. But in all the photos, he's in the middle. He's like holding them together.

Yeah. He's the peanut butter in this sandwich, in this white bread sandwich. Yeah, exactly. I hope he gets the credit he deserves because, honestly, I forgot he existed. But looking at all the photos of them together, the man's right in the middle every single time. He is. He really is the peanut butter. I mean, without him, everybody's just the same.

You need that contrast. Yeah, absolutely. Well, let me tell you a story I got. Okay. Okay, a couple stories. Number one, I tried Core Power Elite Vanilla. The 42? I honestly went to Amazon, and I was buying something else, but I saw that it was there,

and I don't know how it knows that I was talking about it, because it popped up on my, like, hey, you should buy this. I almost bought it just for this show, so I'm very eager to know what you think. Yeah, I did buy it for this show, but I also need the protein, so I was like, whatever. Sure. yeah i did buy it for this show but i also need the protein so i was like whatever uh and it tastes like the lesser ones but just thicker like it just straight up just tastes a little more like powdery like you can tell it's got a little more of the the protein something in it like it's just it's just it feels thicker but it's not in a bad way but i still prefer the the other one i think but every once in a while i mean i would get it if i'm like oh

i really need protein today it has a 1400 views and 4.5 stars and all the like there's some reviews that it's mostly about the packaging and how it arrived or whatever. But all the reviews about the taste, it almost sold me on it. People were like, it's so good, dude. It's so good. And I was like, it can't be. That can't be right. It's like, oh, it's so good. No, it's pretty good.

I mean, the two things are it tastes good for being a protein pre-workout, post-workout type thing. And it's not as harsh on your digestive system. There's a lot of people that's like, yo, I'm able to drink this and i can't even drink some of the other stuff yeah the only reason why i to be honest the only reason i didn't buy it is because every review was like that was bad it was like i ordered this and when it arrived it said the expiration date was last year i was like yeah that sounds like buying anything over amazon that's edible yeah although i bought the one on amazon it was like next year so i mean maybe i'm getting the good batches maybe they ordered it they live in like the middle of montana or something i mean no matter what it's

of it's 1400 reviews on the 42 gram one and it one, and very few were like it's bad. Most of them were five stars. So the ones that were bad were like, I got this from a warehouse that had it since 1946. Yeah. I mean, you're always going to get some people. That's just what it is. The other thing I wrote down was I was walking past a restaurant and this one lady was sitting outside with, I don't know, just some other dude. And they're talking about, I guess, the past.

Just some other dude. I don't know. It's just some other dude. And she said, I mean, this is all I heard when I walked past him. They said, I wish we could, like, tap into past memories. And the guy said, oh, my God. I'm sorry, what? Yeah, the guy was like, oh, my God.

Like it was groundbreaking. I was about to say, like, I wish we could tap into past. I feel like that's was she talking about past lives because you can tap into past memories it's there it's possible yeah i do that all the time like i do that every day pretty much uh yeah because i was thinking about that i was like wait tapping in the past memory that's just like thinking about something that happened in the past like that's literally what it is so yeah I don't know what she was talking about but the person heard that

and they're like oh my god that's genius like they were blown away granted they were outside drinking maybe smoking so they're you know they're feeling it a bit but still it's such a weird weird thing to think about where I was like,

we do this anyway. So I don't understand. Yeah. I don't know that I truly understand what they were saying, but you know, to each their own. I hope they're, I hope they, like you can tap into your past memories. That's how memories work. Yeah. That's what a memory. That's how memories work. Yeah.

That's what a memory... That's the whole point. So, you know, maybe they will. Maybe they'll figure... Maybe they can't do it. Maybe they just are unable to tap into their past memories, and they're trying to figure it out. Maybe we're the weird ones.

Who knows? You know what? That would make sense to me. I'll be honest. You saying maybe we're the weird ones. Who knows? You know what? That would make sense to me. I'll be honest. You saying maybe we're the weird ones? Yeah, that checks out. Maybe. So that happened.

Then, okay, there is, I had the worst run around with an insurance company that I've had so back in January okay I uh normally my thing auto pays my car insurance okay and I was just like whatever but I got a letter in the mail and it was like your auto pay didn't go through for some reason and I was like uh okay so then I look and it was like one day past the thing so they're like we're canceling it so I was like uh-oh so then I go hey my auto pay didn't pay can I like change my card or pay it now they're like

yeah that's fine and then they tried to do it and they're like our system's down so like why don't you just I'll try to run it now. And then it was like taking 10 minutes. And she's like, if you want to just give me your card, I can do it tomorrow. And I was like, okay, whatever. So then she called me the next day and she's like, Hey, I just did it. It went through. You're good. And I was like, cool.

Then I look at my credit card statement and there are two charges. One on the day she said it went through and one on the day before where she said the system was down. And so I was like, hey, I'm getting that. She's like, oh, you know what? It should be fine. Just like contact your credit card company and tell them that. I was like, OK, so I contact the credit card company and they're like, oh, yeah, we see that. I was like, yeah. So like, is that charge going to go away? And they're like, yeah, we'll open a dispute or whatever the shit. I'm like, okay, cool. Great. So then I'm waiting. It's not going away. I'm just like, uh, all right. Then I called a credit card company like three weeks later. I'm like, the charge didn't go away. And they're like, hey, you know what? We're looking into it. And they're like, all right, we figured it out. And then they send me a check from State Farm. And I'm like, cool. Thanks, State Farm. You did your thing. And then they call me back. And they're like, hey, did you cash that check? And I'm like, yeah. And they're like, well, it says you didn't pay now. And I was like,

what? And then they're like, yeah, they refunded the money. And I was like, well, I paid twice. They refunded the one. And they one and they're like so i had to pay again and then when i paid again i had to go back to the credit card company and i swear to god i did this like three times and it hit the point where the insurance lady's just like i i am so sorry and she was like you know what i'm gonna have our technician guy look into this we're gonna figure this out. And then they sent me another check and they were like, don't cash that one. And then she was like, you can tear it up. But luckily I didn't tear it up because two days later, she's like, did you tear up that check?

And I was like, no. And she's like, good, you can cash that one. And I was like, okay. And she's like, the tech guy, he figured it out. Everything's good. We should be fine. And so that was it. And it literally took till like two weeks ago from January until like the other week to get everything fixed. I am both outraged for you and also being triggered by this entire story.

So for years in this office, we had a mailing system. So we went with this company. I'm not even going to promote them at all. We went with this company that does in-office mailing. And what happens is you rent from them one of those postage machines. And it does everything, packages, mail, whatever. It does all. And it does auto pricing. It's all in there. And I was like, awesome. That sounds really good. And over the years, we've used it less and less and less and less and less. And so last year, during the summer, I was like, we don't need this anymore. We don't have a contract with you anymore. We're on a month-to-month thing now.

So I just want to return this. We're not using this at all. And they're like, sure, of course, of course. So they take it back and everything's fine. I, we ship it back to them. Everything seems cool. A month later, I see that $500 has been taken from my bank account and it's to pay for shipping. I'm like, wait, what? So I call them up and they're like, oh, the $500 was taken so it could refill your, like the money you use when you ship packages, right? Like whatever they call that,

the little account they have. And so it's to pay for shipping fees. I was like, but we don't have an account with you anymore. Why would that happen? They're like, oh, well, on the website, you still have an account. I was like, I closed my account by calling you all, and you sent me a check with the amount of money that was left in my account. And they're like, oh, well, what happened was is the auto-draw feature noticed that you had $0 in the account, draw feature notice that you had zero dollars in the account and you have it set to draw five hundred dollars to replenish the fact that you have zero dollars in that account and i was like but the account was canceled and the woman was just like well it is open on the website i'm like so is the website different from the actual company? And she was like, no, no.

When you cancel with us, you cancel the account. You no longer have service for that rental unit. But your payment for shipping fees did, in fact, remain open on your account. I'm like, why? Why would it do that? So I go to the thing. And I tell her I would like why why would it do that so I go to the thing and I tell her I would like to close my account she's like alright go to the website and there's a feature there where it lets you close the account and lets you tell

us where to ship you check for that $500 like great go through the process go on there cancel my account do that whole thing It says we're sending you the money Two days later I see a draw for $500 From my bank account And it is drawn back into there Because when they removed The $500 they did so Before closing the account

Oh my god So they closed the account Afterwards So now I gave them money And now I have no way to get back closed the account Afterwards So now I gave them money And now I have no way to get back into the account Because they locked it out So I have to call them up again I'm like okay you guys did this thing

And they're like oh my god sir We're so sorry We'll send you the money And I was like I don't even have the money the last time you said you were going to send it to me So now I'm expecting two checks now. One or two checks. How much am I getting from you right now? So I'm already like, just tell me.

When should I expect this money? Eventually, I don't know, a month, two months later, I finally get both checks. I'm like, fine. I never deal with those people again. Dude, for the last four months, I'm going to see if I can find this. For the last four months i'm gonna see if i can find this for the last four months i keep getting emails from them giant bold letters negative reserve 45 day letter attention final attempt this was on 422 24 hello accounts payable your reserve account ending in number is carrying a negative balance

Yeah, I'm fine with that.

I don't care if I can't send anything. Dude, it's... I don't know how these things work. It's insane. It's the amount of tech issues and run-arounds you have to do. I hate it. Let's go back to the days where you had stone tablets.

Everyone has a big stone tablet. You know what's funny is I bet some archaeologist could find you a stone tablet that was like from Mesopotamia. And it'd be like, Urzog the Great promised me 500 shells for my services. But he has yet to pay me. When I went to Urzog the Great, I said, Urzog, where are my shells? And he said, I had Dinkus the Miner deliver them to your home. And he's like, I saw no such shells, Urzog. I promise you that's a real thing.

And some guy would be like, no, dude, nothing changes. It's all the same. He's right. Nothing changes. he's right nothing changes so yeah that was fun it's a great time i see that you've also shared that experience uh yeah i feel like you aren't truly stuck in a dystopian hellscape until you've really had a multi-month long conversation with a corporation that obviously doesn't care.

And you're just like, guys, this is actually very important. It might not be important to you, but that $500 is very important. Like, I need that money, guys. They're like, sure, sure, sure. We'll get back to you on that. It's like, no, no, no. I have had, I'm working on uh a video game project and i've been trying to send money overseas through through a wire transfer and it has been

two months and every time i send it it gets returned and declined and i'm like why and the bank's like well the bank doesn't exist I'm like it clearly exists It's a national bank Like it can't not exist And I've lost 200 bucks in Like charge back fees And I'm like guys

I have to pay these people And I need you to send the money So I went to the bank And literally at the bank I'm sitting there with the banker. And we're on her computer Google mapping the location of this bank. And she's like, I don't see it anywhere. I don't see where this bank is at. And I realized what the problem was.

Because it's a foreign address, they don't understand how foreign addresses work. And so the image she's showing me is like a forest. She's like, there's no bank here, sir. I'm like, okay, I'm going to go to my phone and just type in the address and Google maps and show you. And it was just a bank and a shopping center, right? Like it was a clear, obvious, like it is right next to McDonald's. This is not, this is not some fake location. Why can't you make this work? And she was like, okay, let me see what I can do here. So I sat with her as she put in all the information. It was sent and then it took a

day and it was fine. If you were to ask me what the problem was, I couldn't tell you because we did nothing different. I still have no answers, but it went through and worked. I don't want to call anyone stupid, but I feel like along the way, there was a stupid person. Some guy posted on Reddit like a week or two ago where he said the average intelligence score or whatever of people in the United States is 98. Which means that with all the very smart people we have someone's dragging that shit down like there are people so dumb that they're dragging everyone else down that our average is below 100 well it's probably the people that watch tiktoks that are super fake and believe them or even worse the facebook posts and believe them i think we all know those people too, which sucks. I definitely know a few of those people

where I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, can you believe this? I'm like, no, because it's not real. So I'm not going to believe it. But even then, I feel like if you have a skill set, like, I don't know, being a person working at a bank, you should know how to work at a bank

and be able to input information to send to other banks yeah i feel like that i don't know it's like you can you can be dumb in a lot of things and be really smart at what you're good at like maybe you're like i'm bad at math and i'm bad at all these things but i'm really good at welding i'm really good at being a mechanic or like any shit like that right so honestly some of the smartest people I know are not smart in astrophysics, but in just life stuff. Right? And I wonder how you fall between all the cracks.

Like, you can't do life stuff. You can't do brainiac stuff. It's just like, well, you you know i just decided not to learn anything how do you exist like even the dude flipping burgers at mcdonald's will eventually figure out the best way to flip a burger right but then i also know that there are definitely dudes who've been to mcdonald's for 30 years and have not learned a damn thing. Yes, 100%. That is so upsetting to me. Like, how? How's it possible?

Well, I think they don't want to learn, which is one. Two, it might just be. What do you fill your brain with? What is up there? Dude, a lot of sports people are like that. I read all the sports. There are some people. I don't know how they function.

Like this one guy called in and he's like, if I was in charge of this team, I'd trade for Patrick Mahomes. And then everyone was like, I mean, why would the Chiefs do that? They wouldn't just trade their star quarterback. And he's like, they gotta pay him money.

And they're just like, yeah, but you'd probably just pay him money because he's really good. And he's like, yeah. And it's's like how did you come up with this idea like it's such a dumb idea it doesn't make any logical sense and he's just he decided it was such a good idea he's gonna call up a radio show and preach it to the entire world because he's like now this is something people gotta hear like there's plenty of people like that i do often wonder because sometimes if i have something i want to say, I won't say it because I'm like, I don't even want to seem like I'm an idiot.

On a show like this, obviously I'll do it because we've got an hour to fill. Plus people know what they're listening to. They know we're just like, I don't know what the shit I'm talking about. But in real life, if I'm in a a conversation 90% Of the time I'm quiet I don't I let other people talk and if I have something To add like if I'm on someone else's podcast I will gladly Sit there and just shut up if they have

Something to say because I don't want to be that guy Who's like I have thoughts and they're Really stupid and I don't really know what you're talking about But I I have thoughts And I feel like most People need to learn to do that. Like this dude clearly took the time to call up. He took the time to not think.

He took the time to say some stupid stuff. And then he was like, oh yeah, I didn't think about that. All right, bye guys. Like that's so, you wasted everyone's time. Yeah, no, it is. I think there are a lot of people. They just constantly are talking or just, they're not processing.

Like they're talking, they're seeing things, but they don't like process it. And then only when something like that happens and someone's like, did you think about this? And they're just like, oh, yeah. Then they process it and they're like, OK. Like I know some people like that. I know a few people like that. That's that's so sad. It is sad. it very much is um not a lot of people like

to listen they like to talk we've talked about this before there's a lot of people who have uh that kind of way of talking where it's less i'm listening to what you're saying and i'm more i'm waiting for you to stop talking so I can start talking. Yeah, exactly. And you can usually tell because they'll start interrupting what you're saying by being like, yeah, uh-huh, yeah, what, yeah, uh-huh. Or you can tell they're not listening to what you're saying. I can't tell you how many meetings I've had in this city where that exact thing, like you're trying to explain a project you're working on to some dude who is the key to you getting that project going. And they clearly don't care, but they have to sit there with you for another 12 minutes and like, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh.

And you're like, oh, I should just leave. Why am I – you don't care anymore. Or you can tell they didn't listen to anything you just said because they'd be like, what's your idea? And you're like, well, I think it'd be really cool if we did this thing. They'd just be like, yeah, okay. So what I'm thinking of doing, like they just completely bypass what you say. What sucks is there's at least two or three names that I could drop that only you and I would understand from Maker Studios. Yeah.

Where immediately we'd be like, oh, that guy. Yep, yep. Yep, 100%. A lot of people in this industry Oh yeah It's a lot of fun baby People often ask me Yo why is Crandor

Why is he like kinda in the middle of nowhere And he doesn't really like I feel like he decided to get out while the getting was good And he was tired of dealing with all this nonsense. Because it is a lot of nonsense. Yeah. No, 100%. I would never want to be around that.

I actually found a post on Reddit when I was looking something up about me from six months ago. And they said, Wow, Crandor is the most reliable WowTuber out there. And it just shows uh my leveling series over the decade but the my favorite parts were there are there's some posts here someone said cox and crendor animations were the best and then someone said were they may not be as frequent but they are still great and then somebody else said uh krendor is a damn good fella on top of a good content creator got to meet him once in person and my buddy had a fangasm over him and he he played it off and just thanked him he's good

people and i'm like trying to think back i'm like dude i don't even remember like somebody fangasmed like i don't know i was like maybe i mean it it does happen i guess i mean yeah i've had i've had plenty of times people recognize me but it's the it's i can't remember a time where somebody was like oh my god like losing their mind so like maybe they just hit it well and then in their mind they thought they were going crazy i don't know i absolutely have a very similar thing that i saw recently um a amazing artist did a commission for one of my characters in final fantasy 14 right and uh posted it on reddit and it's very good it's it's really nice art. And I went there during a stream to be like, hey, I want to see what people said about this. This is so cute. And everyone seems to love it.

But there was one comment that made me laugh so hard. And it was, I don't watch much of Cox. I've never really seen this character of his. But I absolutely buy that this was his character like I don't watch him and I don't know what the hell this is but I'm convinced it would be something he would like that is I mean yeah I can see it it's so funny to me that it's mean, yeah, I can see it. It's so funny to me that it's like, yeah, yeah, nope.

I have no idea who this person is really, but I am convinced that is absolute. Like, that is, you know what that is? That's 10 years in the industry, baby. That is, I've earned that rep. You gotta earn it. Gotta earn that over time. Hell yeah. But, you know what else? you gotta earn it gotta earn that over time hell yeah but

birds, there's a whole bunch of stuff. They're all backed up. Hopefully you're away from the cicadas. That's going to get loud, so bring your earplugs. But I don't actually know if you're even allowed to put earplugs in if you're driving a car. Probably not because you've got to hear ambulances and stuff. So I guess you're just going to go deaf from the cicadas.

Back to you. Thanks, Crandor. Is it actually happening now? Are you doomed? Is the Midwest doomed? Uh, I believe it's starting very soon

if it hasn't already. I think June is what I heard, but it, let's see. Uh, yeah, I think it's supposed to be June and end of May.

So it's like, it's ramping up now. We're hitting it. Hmm. Yeah. Now I'm gonna have to go to the internet. Yeah. Cicadas. So it's like it's ramping up now. We're hitting it. Now I'm going to have to go to the internet. Cicadas. Is it time?

Cicadas 2024. How long will they be around and when will they leave? There is a lot of cicada articles. Okay. Well, you know what? I now have seen something I can't unsee. All right. The two top articles for cicadas. This is very weird.

Okay. From Fox Weather, cicadas. If you can't beat them, eat them. Okay. All right. And then next to that, WLNS6 News has, watch out for this year. Cicadas urinate a lot. Oh. I now have C.

That's the top two things for me. I don't like that. I don't like that at all either. I do not like that. Yeah, no. No. That is a weird top two. I'll be honest.

That is weird. I don't... Okay. Yeah. I mean, watch out for the urinating cicadas. I mean, who's... What are they doing? Like peeing on your house and it's like dripping down?

Like, I don't know. Are they hitting you and then they're peeing? Like, what are they doing? Pee a lot is... Like, it is... Warning, they pee a lot is like it is warning they pee a lot like a lot for a bug or a lot for the planet earth like this is important information we need to know yeah plus like they can only carry so much right it's not like they're a giant or something it's like i gotta pee

peas all which by the way when you think about it, if a giant had the pea, that'd be crazy. Like, you know, medieval giants. Think about it. Oh, no, I am now. And I feel like that is an accurate thing of...

I mean, you don't have to think giants. Just think dinosaurs. Yeah, that's true. What the hell is dinosaurs? Like, that's blue whales. Yeah. Massive. I bet you're real thrilled about jumping in the water on the ocean now.

Although I guess there's so much water that maybe it diluted. But still, still, I don't know that I like it. Yeah, I don't like that either. But that's the traffic. Okay, let's go to weather. Weather time. Here we go. I've got the thing held down in the last episode.

We're going to Temakula, California. California? Yeah. Temakula california california yeah temakula california that's what you know what i you can get away with that because i'll never forgive myself for once saying Hello, father. Here I am in Toronto, Canada. Somebody was saying, is WAPI still around? So we got to do a WAPI thing. WAPI, hold on, let me. Here it is. WAPI activated.

It's Tammacoola california party 62 degrees fahrenheit feels like 60 humidity 66 pressure 29.96 inches visibility 10 miles wind 11 miles miles per hour sunrise 5 4 5 a.m sunset 7 4 5 p.m 2.50 uv index zero moon phase waxing gibbous 10 day monday 69 nice a.m clouds p.m sun tuesday 73 partly cloudy wednesday, partly cloudy. Wednesday, 72, partly cloudy. Thursday, 68, partly cloudy. Friday, 68, partly cloudy. Saturday, AM clouds, PM sun. Sunday, 68, partly cloudy. E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E. All right, he's good.

Now you know why we don't use him. Poor guy. Poor guy. Listen, he's been worn down over the years. Yeah, we bring him out for live shows, and he just never works. Yeah. He doesn't work on the actual show either, but it's just. Yeah, that's true.

Yeah, but live shows, we got to wheel him in one of those carts that your teacher would wheel out the old TV in. Yeah. That's a rough one. Yeah, that's rough. He's too big. That stays backstage. Crandor has to go get him. Which, by the way, live show in a month and a half.

That's right. July 13th in Chicago at Lincoln Hall. Again, reminder, we don't deserve to be at Lincoln Hall, but we will be there on a Saturday night in July. It makes no sense to me either. So that is a thing that will happen, and I don't know the new numbers. We may be sold out now, but I'm still going to say

we're very close, and you should definitely go buy tickets. Yes. Come see us. And Woppy, and all the other crazy characters we do, like Mr. Skidoo and the Don. Those are my favorites. Yeah, those are my favorite Cox and Credo characters as well. Right.

Yeah, Mr. Skidoo from episode 42. Yeah, that's right. And the Don, who we all know is a recurring character on this show you don't even have to reference everyone knows the dawn we actually have like gray storm and stuff

you just went with Mr. Skidoo and the dawn that's right that's what I did cool that's that's our live show That's right. That's what I did. Yeah. Cool. That's our live show. Let's see. Where even is Temecula, California? Temecula? Or Temecula.

Temecula? Temecula. Temecula. Oh, there it is. Temecula Temecula Oh there it is Temecula I just want to say for the record So pleased that I just let you get away with that Temecula is like south of LA It's more closer to

I don't know it's like in between San Diego and LA I was going to say it's closer to Disneyland but I don't know that's true Maybe we're closer Yeah There's a place called Small Barn Old Town And it's got a

4.4 out of 5 with 360 reviews it looks pretty good I would say that a lot of places in Temecula Probably are like Temecula has an old town vibe. You know what I mean? Yeah. There's a lot of wineries there. A lot.

Yeah. But honestly, I don't really know much about it. To be honest, living so close to it, I know very little about it. Except for on the radio, they're always like, traffic jam in Temecula today. 18 people exploded. They're're like what the hell too many that's where WAPI goes yeah it explodes there uh but I yeah I don't really know what Temecula was about I guess like horses and farms and stuff but I have no answers for you I'm I don't expect there to be much in the way of crazy foods there. Never mind, I'm a liar.

Moe's Egg House. Moe's Egg House. It reminds me of an old Southwest town or something. Yeah, it definitely has that vibe, but Moe's Egg House looks like it slaps. Actually, a lot of these places look pretty good. I'm looking through. This might be the place. When my parents and I drove south one time.

Man, where were we going? I can't even remember. We went to a seafood restaurant. No, it wasn't seafood. It was a sausage place. Wow, that's way off. Seafood and sausage are not at all similar. But it was delicious and it was one of those places

where you could tell nothing had changed in like 68 years. Yeah, that's kind of the vibe of all of Temecula. Yeah, I see that. It is... Everything looks old, but then everything, all the food and stuff looks modern and fresh, which is why it's crazy.

Yeah, that's definitely. Like, there's a place right now, Campini's Deli. Looks delicious. There's all sorts of, like, interesting places there. This is a dangerous trap for me, though, because it's just close enough that if I wanted to, I could get there in two hours. Right. Like, I'm looking at this place, they make scones, and I'm like, yo, I could go get a scone.

But I don't, I shouldn't. Yeah. But I also could just go to Moe's Egg House and lead my best life. Oh, shit, you could go to Vince's Spaghetti Express. Now this... This is spaghetti. You know what? I might have to grab the boys and go on a road trip.

I just found a place called 8-Bit Brewing Company and it's a video game themed brewery. Oh shit. That is so cute. Where is that? The logo is like one of those Pac-Man ghosts, but it's a beer mug. That's very cute.

That's very cute. Honestly, this place looks really good. This is my kind of town. Honestly, I think you would enjoy it. It is very much like we're close enough to LA that if you want to go to LA you can But we're not even remotely LA Yeah, I love that Yeah, there's this weird

There's this weird vibe between Um Kind of like, I don't know Once you get past Anaheim and Irvine Until you get to San Diego There's not a lot there A lot of like really cozy beach towns. Right.

But then Temecula is on the – it's not even near the beach, remotely close to it. It's over a mountain on the other side, and it is like, yeah, we're also here. We too exist. Yeah. But yeah, mostly wineries. It's really known for all the different wineries that are out there. Oh, and apparently according to the internet, it's

championship golf courses. Oh, there's championship golf courses? That's what it says. Huh. I mean, I like golf. I don't know if I would golf there. Old Town Temecula is the thing you were looking at Yeah

Where it's like, welcome to the quaint old town A district of Homemade Italian cuisine A Mexican fair north of the border A farm-to-table Pub dining experience Although looking at it now I'm like, okay

I'd go to some of these I get you're trying to read real like an old-timey cowboy It sounded like a dog We gotta go Yeah, I don't Yeah, the biggest problem here is that it's so close everything usually when we look at these places, I'm like, oh my god, that looks so good. Shame I'll never go. It's so close I could, and I'll be honest, I don't think it's worth the drive.

I'm like, I could go there. I really could. It seems like it'd be good if you go with other people for a day or something. That's how I feel about most places in LA. There's a little town two hours north of the city that is kind of like a Danish town. And the whole idea is it's very Danish and people will go there for a weekend

and they'll do that whole thing. This has the same vibe where it's like a weekend trip. Same thing with like Palm Springs. You go out there for a day. You drive out in the middle of the desert and it's like, we're going to get brunch and like go walk around and look at stuff. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know if it's something you do by yourself, because that almost seems like too much effort. Like, you know what? I'm gonna stay at home. Yeah, I can see that. Um... That's the weather. Alright, let's go to sports. Sports! Sports. Sports.

Oh, boy. At the sports desk. Currently, we had the Indiana Pacers beat the New York Knicks in game seven. Moving on. Knicks are out. They will take on the Boston Celtics. And then the Denver Nuggets currently up on the Minnesota Timberwolves in the third quarter of that game. And the winner of that plays the Dallas Mavericks uh meanwhile over in the hockey playoffs we got Panthers Rangers in the uh semi or the conference finals and then we have the Stars

taking on the Canucks or the Oilers in the other round. So it's going to be one of those four teams winning the Stanley Cup. And then baseball, yeah, see, it's going. You got the Yankees, you got the Guardians, you got the Mariners all in first place in their divisions, and then you got the Phillies, Brewers, and Dodgers in first place in their divisions. And we're again getting closer to the Olympics yes the Olympics

the two big stories and I love these are two big stories one Simone Biles is just killing it right now as usual she'll be back in the Olympics probably so that's but story number two people are freaking out about the Paris Olympic team or not team but like committee

uh making the beds out of cardboard and people are saying that it is for anti-sex to prevent the athletes from doing it but then the paris 2024 team were like no no we guarantee our beds are tiny but robust and i just want to say i love this is a thing people are like, hold on. How dare you? It's amazing. This one article headline says, Olympic Games athletes to get 220,000 condoms and anti-sex beds. That is one day ago front page headline. That's hilarious.

We need the anti-sex beds. We need it. But also, if you guys don't need beds, here are 220,000 condoms. That's so many condoms. That's like a ludicrous number of condoms. That is an insane amount. So that's the sports. Alright, what is our

fact of the day? Fact of the day. Fact of the day. So we've got the fact of the day and the fact of the day and the fact of the day is That the longest English word without a vowel is rhythms Real I mean okay, but is rhythms originally English I

Credit for that don't know. Rhythms origin. Mid 16th century from French or via Latin from Greek. So not really an English word. Yeah. I mean technically I guess. So not really an English word. Yeah. Technically, I guess. Although, here's the thing.

The French version has an E at the end. So the English version, maybe that's true. Maybe that's true. Maybe it's true. The English were like, out of all the things to remove an E from, they'll still keep a shop with an E, though. Got an extra P and an E for that. But like, okay. So yeah, there you go. Who knew?

Alright. Yeah, who knew? Although it is a weird word. I always misspell it. Yeah, it actually is, because I always think, is it R-Y or R-H-Y? And I think that's what goofs me. And then you're like, it is a weird word to spell.

Yeah, I will put an extra Y in there for no reason every time. I will always spell it R-H-Y-T-H-Y-M. Oh, yeah, I see. Every time. And I know that's not how it's spelled because it's a weird word. It's just T-H-M is like something you don't ever think about. Yeah. I always do R-Y-H-T-H-M.

You know what? What if we just get rid of it? And we spell it, we spell it, we spell it the way it should be spelled. R-I-T-H-E-M. Rhythm.

You know what? Yeah. You know what? What if we just spelled it however we wanted? You know, what if if we just spelled it however we wanted? You know what? What if we just did away with the English language? Actually, really funny.

I was watching that dude on YouTube who does like cooking history. I don't know his name. I can't remember right now. But he'll do like an episode about like the wagon train going on the Oregon Trail, and I'd be like, this is what they ate. And then he'd cook it, and then he'd give you a little history lesson about it. I was watching him, and he was talking about

the Canterbury Tales, and how... Because I was thinking about today. You know how everyone today is like, all these kids and their damn skibbities, and their weird words, and how they're using things. It doesn't mean a damn thing. I'm like, oh, I hate it, right?

Yeah. He was talking about how in the 13th and 14th century, English was going through a transformation very similar to that. He wasn't saying it was similar to today, but the way he was describing it seemed very similar. And there was a moment where this dude from the north of England went to the south of England. And it was during this time that the word egg was just starting to be used

and he went down to the south of England and was trying to get some eggs and no one knew what he was talking about and some guy was like, oh no, you mean eggs and the only reason why we use eggs now is because in the Canterbury Tales they use the word egg i think

or maybe something like that like an egg was they just decided because it became like one of the most successful books at the time through the printing press and things that eventually egg was a thing that spread that's so weird and we killed the old word for it eggs used to have a different name huh and i was like that does sound a lot like what's happening in the world when it comes to the way people use words and what words stick and what words don't you know I mean yeah and somewhere there's a time where people were like damn that's fat pH fat and you're like nah we're over it yeah or like uber like that's cool or that's leet and like

all that stuff but it's like now everyone says yappin it's like what the like i used to say yappin back like old people like yeah quit your yappin sonny and now it's like back they're like yo he just he's yappin all day like that's it's become it's made the rounds it's back yappin's cool again. Yeah. Language is fascinating. I was just sitting there watching this dude talk about eggs, and I was like, there was a word before eggs for eggs? Yeah. I was like, what the hell?

We just decided to change it? And I can imagine being in that time period, and some punk kid was like, give me eggs granddad and i'd be like eggs what the hell back in my day we called them fergus's give me one uh how do you want your fergus's uh scrambled scrambled fergus's please you know like damn kids they're just making up words. And it made me almost appreciate some of the insane shit I see on TikTok that people are like, what the hell did you just say? Yeah. It is pretty nice. And that's the fact of the day. All right.

What is our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day? Big news story of the day. I actually have two smaller ones. Okay. I just want to say, I don't know if this is one of them, but I, all week, people were sending me a photo. I have no actual evidence of an article. They sent me a photo of, like, some bear. Like, this bear goes around.

Bang. He's the father of, like like every bear in the forest. I was like, whoa. I did not see that article. Yeah, but it was just an image of the article, but no actual articles. I have no idea how I was like, I looked for it and I couldn't find it. Who knows? I mean, that bear may have made it and take it all down.

He was like, you can't do this to me. I know people. So, first up, we have 706 Kyles gathered in Kyle, Texas to try and beat the Guinness World Record. Let me ask you an important question. Do you think Kyle, Texas counts as a Kyle? That's a good question. I would say no.

You're probably right. I just figured you could probably get away with adding just one. You probably could. How many people named Kyle can fit in one place? For one Texas city, not enough. I mean, there probably is a point where you'd say it's enough.

Another attempt by the city of Kyle, Texas, to break the world record for the largest gathering of people with one name fell short Saturday despite 706 Kyles of all ages turning up at the park in the suburbs of Austin. According to the Guinness World Record, the crown is currently held by a Bosnia town that brought together 2,325 people named Ivan. That number seems small to me. Really? That's, I would imagine there's a lot of Ivans in the area. I mean,

sure, but that seems like a lot of Ivans deciding to go gather at this place in Bosnia. What else are Ivans gonna do? I don't know. Ivans like to gather, dude. That's a known fact. Ivans like to find other Ivans. Oh, shit, he's right. I've always

heard that. People doesn't know you know that. It's not the first time the Kyles have come gunning for the Ivan's. Last year, the official count... What a sentence. Last year, the official count at what

has become known as the Gathering of the Kyles clocked in at 1490. So wait, they lost half their Kyles? I feel like they were like we've done enough. Yeah, you know they were probably like, you know what, I went last the other year, I'm not going again. It was alright. We're not as cool as the Ivans. Like the Ivans

know how to party. The Kyles, a lot of like book reading. Complaining about the weather. Yep. Drinking beer, but like, you know, only shotgunning it. I was going to say only like fancy beers. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're shotgunning like a craft made beer that they brought.

All right. There you go. I brought this from home. Maybe that's what it was. They were too busy at home brewing new beer. They forgot. Oh, I contaminated my entire supply. they forgot oh oh i contaminated my entire supply uh kyle i'm getting a message from a kyle that's like guys i only do that a couple times a year uh kyle is not a chart topper among popular names

in the u.s according to Social Security Administration, which annually tracks names, the most recent data showed Kyle ranks 416th among male names. By comparison, Ivan ranked 153rd. Again, again. Ivan seemed... Is that just in the US, though? I think so, yeah. Yeah, I mean,

now imagine that, but overseas. Oh, yeah. That's like number 10. Especially in, like, Europe? Yeah, come on, now. Oh, yeah. That's like number 10. Especially in like Europe. Yeah. Yeah. Come on now. Yeah. No, Ivan's got to be top 10 over there. Maybe 20.

Yeah. I'm looking it up. I'm getting an answer. Yeah. Get the answer. We got to know. Ivan is the most common name in Bulgaria and Croatia. Oh, there you go.

It's also, the name is common among, yeah, Slovenia, Russians, Ukrainians, Bulgarians, Belarusians, Macedonians, Serbians, Bosnians, Montenegrins, Chet. Oh, yeah. I mean, like, it's a popular name. Yeah. So there you go. The Kyle's lost. But the other story. All right.

We got a Florida man, but for once, I think I'm siding with Florida man. Ah, you know what? I've sided with Florida man many times before. So this, this I'm ready for this. Florida man allegedly hurls pasta at driver during road rage incident. Well, I need to hear the road rage first before I side on this. A road rage incident took a saucy turn when a Florida man got fed up with glaring headlights and allegedly resorted to flinging pasta with sauce at another driver,

striking him through his open window. First off, I immediately understand why you side with him. Yep. First off, I immediately understand why you side with him Yep And second off The question, was the guy In the car with the headlights Driving?

Because it could be dangerous to throw that at him if he's driving But if he was parked, I'm all for it Toss away I don't know Nolan Goines was arrested, 46, with battery After the food fight that took place on Park Street near Bay Pines Boulevard in St. Petersburg around 9pm.

The road rage incident stemmed from glaring headlights, according to the affidavit. Affidavit. Affidavit. Goines allegedly chucked pasta with sauce through his passenger window and it hit a man who was driving. Uh-oh.

He escaped the pasta attack unscathed and without injuries, though probably a bit It's the least messed up story we've had from Florida in it is you're really that's that's good yeah you know he could have he could have had road rage could have had a gun he could have had like some crazy shit but he you know what he had pasta he's like take this pasta yeah headlight master and he just chucked it over there. And he was like, hey, you got sauce on me. You know what I've realized? That whole, like, buy pasta, take home pasta thing from Olive Garden really is just providing people with ammo. Like, you get pasta, and then they give you a whole other meal to take home? That's car ammo right there.

That is car ammo. Especially in Florida. That's where they got gotta watch out the most. But yeah, I mean, listen, his headlights probably weren't too bright. That's also a dangerous road thing. Turn your headlights down, get some better ones that don't hurt other people's eyes,

and you should probably also close your windows when you're driving if you're that person. Yep. I mean, like like i imagine he rolled down the window to yell if they were having an actual argument yeah right they probably were yeah he's probably like roll the window down it's like hey and then he's like and then he threw the pasta if i had to guess how it went down so you know what i don't know that's the big news story all right well that is it for us
