Starting point is 00:00:00 Today's episode is brought to you by ButcherBox. ButcherBox has got that good meat delivered right to your home. Let's jump into this podcast. Hello everybody, it's time for Ghost on Trend Dog. This is Trend Dog in the morning. In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. In 4 hour and 40 minutes.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Recorded. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. In 4-Hour Reporting Studios. Recording. Wake your ass up. It's the Cocks and Quendars of the morning. Cocks and Quendars of the morning. Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Cocks and Quendars of the morning. Woo. Woo.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Yeah. Woo. Woo. It's the least excited woo I've ever heard. Woo. Woo. Woo. I. It's the least excited woo I've ever heard. Woo. Woo. I mean, it could be like woo. You sound like Ric Flair, but really far away.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Like he's like, woo. Woo. Like a wolf howl, but just it's Ric Flair in the forest. Maybe it's because I just made pointless top 10 wolves. I'm in a wolf mood. Classic wolf lore. I learned all about wolves. Yep.
Starting point is 00:01:12 And I learned about your love of them. I get a lot of people that watch those. They're like, dude, I haven't played WoW in like forever. Or like, I've never played WoW, but I love watching these. I'm like, hey, nice. It's good and informative and equally stupid. Mm-hmm. Because you went on like a 30-second rant about fire wolves or whatever they were.
Starting point is 00:01:35 And you're like, look at these guys. They're crazy anyway. This is a pup. It's the best I could do. Yeah. It's great. No, it's great. It's my fun YouTube thing I do do it is the fun that you've been doing a lot more lately yeah i've been getting back to the old youtube.com i'm having
Starting point is 00:01:50 a good time almost with some consistency it's very worried yeah it's listen you gotta you gotta do you gotta do right you gotta the old content creator life that is true you gotta do you gotta do you gotta do. That's what I always say. That's why so many content creators get in trouble. It probably is. They're like, I gotta do what I gotta do, mister. Not like dealing drugs.
Starting point is 00:02:16 I meant like just being awful. Oh, yeah. Well, that too. Before they do anything awful, they're just like, hey, you gotta do what what you got to do. They're like Mickey Mouse in a drug ring or a mafia. What were we talking about? Honestly, nothing.
Starting point is 00:02:36 We were talking about you and your show. Oh, yeah. That's right. I have enjoyed doing YouTube again more. I've been doing a lot of that. And, you know, what have you been doing? This past week was a rush to get out a video about Final Fantasy XIV, followed by going hard on the Summer Games Fest this weekend.
Starting point is 00:02:58 It was an everyday downtown, bright and early, playing games that I cannot talk about. downtown bright and early playing games that i cannot talk about and then uh coming back and like last night i got in and then immediately played alan wake's new dlc which was awesome and then uh yeah we'll go again today and went back downtown and played a bunch of games that are coming out totally drained my social battery for a second day and now i'm here with you wow so it is it's pretty much like e3 I guess we used to do with E3. I think I mentioned this last year, but yeah, imagine E3, but toned down by like 90%.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Yeah. It is in one, I don't know if it's a street or if it's a place that was a street, but they built up around it and blocked it off. But it's a space in downtown LA where it's clearly designed to be for event spaces. But it's one long street and multiple buildings there.
Starting point is 00:03:52 And game companies will set up in those buildings. And then also on the street are a bunch of restaurants too. But all the restaurants are part of the event space. So when you go in there, it's all kind of free. And so you can get – I might have had 15 bottles of Pellegrino the entire weekend. I was just like, give me another. Let's go. And then you got food tickets.
Starting point is 00:04:16 And so it was all the drinks you could possibly want and there was food tickets. And day one, got a delightful sort of chicken teriyaki bowl. It came with a bunch of veggies. It was delicious. I was trying to be a healthy boy. I noticed people walking around with pizzas. I was like, where the hell did they get those pizzas from? And I saw that it wasn't just, I thought it was like, oh, you use a ticket, you get a slice of pizza.
Starting point is 00:04:39 And I was like, I'd rather get a chicken teriyaki bowl than a slice of pizza. No, dude. It was a full pizza. For one ticket, dude it was a full pizza for one ticket they gave you a full pizza i'm no fool so today when i left i went to the to the pizza place and i just took a pizza home i'm gonna be eating that pizza for a while let's go so i just took a pizza you got multiple meals right there hell yeah dude it was. It was great. It was a full pizza. I was like, I'd be an idiot not to get this. Yeah, no, that's a very smart idea.
Starting point is 00:05:12 And pizza is like the ultimate reheat food. Absolutely. So before I went to my last appointment, I went to the pizza window because I was afraid of my clothes. And I got a pizza and then just carried it with me the rest of the day. I was like, no one's touching my pizza. I was afraid it might close and I got a pizza and then just carried it with me the rest of the day I was like no one's touching my pizza I was very excited yeah got that home put it in the fridge I was like I'll have you tomorrow I mean how long how long were you carrying it around oh like 45 minutes oh okay I thought you're carrying for like hours no no no no no I think it it was It came fresh out of the oven
Starting point is 00:05:46 And then I got it in the fridge like I don't know an hour and 20 minutes later So I'm not too stressed Yeah that's not bad And I figured I don't know if this is true And maybe this is something for the audience to look up I seem to recall
Starting point is 00:06:01 Watching enough of Gordon Ramsay To know that you don't want to put something that's hot directly in the fridge right away. Now, I have no evidence that this is true, and it always seemed a little weird to me. I feel like that's something because he always like, there's the bacteria getting there, you bloody donkey. I feel like that's something where apparently it cools the outside, but the hot's inside. And then it like, it's weird. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:25 But for some reason, it's in the back of my mind. So I never put things in the fridge right away. And I don't know if that's true or not, but I feel like it's a bacteria thing. This says it's okay to put hot foods in the fridge. You don't have to wait. But this says that if you put a lot of hot foods in the fridge, you could raise the temperature of the fridge, making it less safe.
Starting point is 00:06:49 So it's just nothing Gordon Ramsay lied to me? Yeah. Or maybe I misinterpreted something Gordon Ramsay said, but that's been in my head for, I'm going to think, roughly 10 years, dude. So. Yeah, I don't know. Everything I'm looking up says you can. Small amounts of hot food can be placed directly in the refrigerator. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Well, then I'm not too stressed. Yeah. Food safety myths. Fact. Hot food can't, yeah. Yeah, that's a, Gordon Ramsay might have gotten food safety myth. Maybe that's one of those things where his dad told him that.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Because there's some things my dad has told me where later I'm like, that wasn't true at all. But he probably heard it from like his dad, it's one of those things. I know there's some things my dad has told me where later I'm like, that wasn't true at all. But he probably heard it from his dad. It's one of those things. I know there's a lot of car myths parents love to tell about letting your car warm up or different things like that. Or my mom has one where she will never turn her air conditioner on in a parking garage. her air conditioner on in a parking garage. And it's something about how she's like, that's the bad air or something like that.
Starting point is 00:07:51 I'm like, what do you mean? You have a filter in your car. She's like, you're sucking in fumes or something. I'm like, okay. So everyone has weird car things, so I expect that. But yeah, I don't know. Thankfully, I had car talk growing up and car talk they would just be like that's no new cars are not like that you don't have to do that with a new car it's so thankfully i have that going for me but yeah i had no anti-ramsey i think they said food or not
Starting point is 00:08:18 food i'm talking about cars they said you gotta warm your food up for two seconds. They said you got to warm your car up for like two seconds. It's good to go. I guess in like winter, you warm it up a little. But I feel like it's more you're like warming the car up so you don't get into a cold car. Yeah, I feel like it isn't about. I mean, if it's an older car, there might be some sprockets in there that you need to warm up or something. Yeah, warm up the sprockets. Newer cars are designed for that stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:46 So, yeah, warming it up is for you mostly. Yeah, which, by the way, I got my new car. Go on. Tell me about this. So I got a 2018 Toyota Camry. I just want to say your car is now newer than my car. You're doing it, bud. I'm doing it.
Starting point is 00:09:06 You've got a better car than me. I mean, it is a used new car, a classic. I mean, it can't be a new 2018 or else you time travel. Yeah, a brand new 2018. Yeah, I was like, I wanted a Toyota just because, you know, we talked about that. And I'm pretty happy with it. It's great. It's working.
Starting point is 00:09:29 It hasn't broken down. It's nice. It's got the car play or whatever. So you can like play your phone stuff and like. Very cool. Be like, Siri, I want to send a message. And it's like, who do you want to send a message to? And it'll like send your thing.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Or you can be like, Siri, give me directions to the Ass Clown University. And it'll be like, Ass Clown University, on the way. And it'll, like, put it on your little thing. It's weird they named that place Ass Clown University when they sell steak. It's very strange. Yeah, it's really weird. Best steakhouse in Chicago, though. 100%.
Starting point is 00:10:00 It's their motto. If it's not an ass clown steak, it ain't worth getting. Right, right. Yeah. A clown comes out and honks his nose and slaps his ass and gives you a steak. It's crazy. If that actually existed, that might be one of the best steakhouses in the world.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Honk, honk, slap. Here you go, mister. The people are lined up for miles here at Ass Clown Steakhouse University. Ass Clown University, the best steak in Chicago. Maybe it's also an actual university. Like, you go there to learn about steak. Like, become a steak expert.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Right. It has nothing to do with ass clowns. Yeah. It's got like 60,000 miles, which is like pretty good. All the other used cars you look at, it was like they want you to pay a bunch of money for like something that's got like 110,000 miles
Starting point is 00:10:54 on it. I'm like, nah, nah, nah. That's dumb. Yeah. So yeah. What's the, uh, do they give you any sort of like deal where it's like, oh yeah, everything's covered for X, Y, and Z. Well, I went to CarMaxmax so it was all just easy thank god because i didn't want to deal with dealers and shit and i was i looked on reddit they're just like yeah it's good and uh in fact i bought my
Starting point is 00:11:17 last car at carmax which was like 12 years ago in fact i would have kept my car, but it was, like, rusting. Probably from the... Yeah, no, that's a problem. Yeah, they're like, the frame's rusting, the bolts are rusting, everything's rusting. He's like, if I were you, I'd just move on. So, they took
Starting point is 00:11:39 the car for, like, they got, like, trade value towards the new car, so it's pretty neat so i didn't have to deal with it it is like kind of sentimental though because you're like dude i've had this car for like 12 years or whatever and it's like there it goes away memories yeah but then you start driving the new one you're like man this is so much better than that shit yeah yeah i cannot stress going from my old car to my new car, I was like, oh my god this actually turns and I can
Starting point is 00:12:08 actually like drive it normally without having to stress every five minutes. This is amazing. Like my other car, I had the thing where like sometimes if you did like a full turn, it would kind of be like, like it starts to stop and you'd be like, whoa. Yes. This one's just like, oh here you go and I'm like, oh my god
Starting point is 00:12:23 it's smooth. It's got the thing oh, here you go. And I'm like, oh my God, it's smooth. It's got the thing where like, if you're going to get into a different lane or something, it goes like beep, beep, beep, beep. But that was annoying, so I turned it off. Yeah, who needs that help anyway? I was like, I don't need this. So yeah, I'm pretty happy.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Done dealing with car stuff. I hate dealing with car stuff. I hate dealing with anything like that. So I was just like, all right, that was just like two, three days of dealing with that. And then I had to like, forgetting like financing. They're like, you got to make sure your insurance has this deductible right now. You don't have this deductible. Call the insurance.
Starting point is 00:12:56 So I had to like the next day, call the insurance and they'd like change the thing. I was just like, uh, I ya. Completely and totally. That's, uh, yeah. I don't know what the deal is there, but you would figure if it's roughly the same type of car, it would be roughly the same type of insurance, but that's not the case
Starting point is 00:13:17 at all. They're suddenly like, no, no, no, no, no. This car's newer, and because it has different mileage and a different former driver, and you got it in this city at 515 on a Monday. It's like, okay, sure, whatever. Yeah. So I was just like, whatever. Yeah, I did that and done with it.
Starting point is 00:13:38 But, you know. That's good. That's great. Yeah. So I'm happy, done with that. And it's pretty nice. So you can experience it when we have our live show next month. What?
Starting point is 00:13:51 We're but one month away? That's right. One month away from the live show. Incredible. That's right. July 13th. I forgot what day it was. July 13th. I, too, forgot the date. July 13th.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I, too, forgot the date. It's been a long day. But we will be in Chicago for a good time, good vibe show. To remind everyone, that is a Saturday. And I'm not sure how many tickets there are left. There was 12. I don't know if there's less or we're sold out. I'm going to say there's still tickets just in case.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Yeah. Just in case. Because I don't know right now. Yeah. There's less than 12. Yes. Potentially 12. Or under.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Yeah. Or under. Who knows? It's a mystery toss. And you. So let's see. What else was there? Was there any story?
Starting point is 00:14:48 Oh, yeah. When I was at the car place doing all that, there was, like, some other guy buying a car. And he was, like, at the finance thing. And then he was calling his wife or somebody. He was like, hey, yeah, you got to come back. I know. You got to come back. And then I was just like, what? And he's like, listen, I don't know. You just got to come back. Yeah, I know you gotta come back and then that's just like what he's like
Starting point is 00:15:07 Listen, I don't know. You just gotta come back. All right and then I Guess she had to come back to sign Something like the title to the car or something. I don't know I was hoping there's me some crazy car stories there But that was really about it. Everyone else pretty normal some crazy car stories there, but that was really about it. Everyone else is pretty normal. We did go to breakfast yesterday, and there was
Starting point is 00:15:28 a guy smelling his French toast, and then his family smelled the French toast. Have you had that French toast? Does it smell good? Is this a weird thing, or just like, he was very impressed with the French toast? Maybe? I don't know, but I've gotten French toast there, and it was good.
Starting point is 00:15:44 And it looked like he might have gotten a fancy one, but he literally held it up and smelled it, and then he held it over his mom and sister or somebody, and then they smelled it. They weren't like, ugh, but they were smelling it, just like, yeah. So I was like, what? Here's the problem. I can't tell if that's weird or not,
Starting point is 00:16:01 because I think having people smell your food is weird. And I've always thought that. But I know people do it and they don't think it's weird. So maybe in this scenario it wasn't weird, but I will always think it's weird. That's where I'm at mentally. And I have no I'm no help for you here. I mean, I've seen people smell their food like some food. But usually if you smell it, it's like something's off here. Yeah, that's what I'm
Starting point is 00:16:26 saying. Yeah, I've seen people who've smelled food and it's been like, bleh. But I've never seen anyone be like, ooh, delicious. But I know it happens. I just don't think I've ever seen it. I've done that with wine.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Well, that's different. Yeah, that's different. It's not like breakfast. Like, I don't know. Maybe with like some foods, like, ooh, yeah, it's moldy. But then, yeah, it's just French toast. You can't smell that crazy. Maybe the syrup was a delicious maple of Canada, and they loved it. They were like, oh, a fine vintage of tree. Yeah, it might have been.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I've been that way. 1973 oak. There's been some syrups where I've been like, oh, my God, what an amazing smell. What can I say? I'm a big sap man. Big sap man. Big sap man. I also wrote down, I watched this video about how people have forgotten how to have fun and are too focused on min-maxing.
Starting point is 00:17:33 In what? Just like games. I mean, even life at this point. I was about to say, I don't know if you're talking about games or life, but I assume you mean games. But it could go for life. It could go either way. I also, by the way, I've gotten on David Lynch TikTok. He showed up twice now.
Starting point is 00:17:54 I'm very pleased with that. I'm more pleased that other people are starting to get in on it, too. Like, yo, you got to check out David Lynch, dude. I'm like, yeah. Nice. I got a TikTok of him being like, I have a donut, and if I eat the donut, it tastes good. And if you haven't eaten a donut,
Starting point is 00:18:15 you do not know what a donut tastes like, and you cannot experience a donut. And I was like, I kind of get it. I mean, that's not wrong yeah like good good points all around and then uh then he related that donut to transcendental meditation well of course he did yeah that was the that was the twist and he was like transcendental meditation is like a donut but better it's pure bliss and i was like oh okay i don't i may disagree with him on that i find fault in his theories i'd probably rather have the donut yeah i'll be honest the donut sounds better yeah uh but the min maxing so because i
Starting point is 00:19:02 can get it i feel like people have always minmaxed though it's just now it's easier to minmax i think that's the difference because back in the day if you wanted to play a game in minmax it'd be like ah where do i find out how to do this i need like nintendo power or i need to like talk to a friend or now it's just like type it into any internet site thing and you'll find something like yeah dragon master build Yeah Yeah, like back then you just be like this looks like something fun I could do and you put it in and then everyone's like what are you doing? You idiot? And then you're like, oh, okay. I guess I need the best one
Starting point is 00:19:39 like about Games that are like high drop rate thingies, you know, I don't know what you would call those, like item farming games. Games where you run the same dungeon like 15 times. Because in theory, everyone can make their own cool build and the game has room for it. But in practice, everyone's like, bro, unless you're going stabilizer of destabilization and a full set of emancipator gear, like, what are you even doing, dude? Yeah, and then they won't even let you group up because you're not the right build or something. Yeah, that sucks. What sucks the most is I always love in Diablo-y style games where they have like, this is the Necromaster and he summons thousands of skeletons.
Starting point is 00:20:31 And then everyone's like, dude, that's the worst class of the game, bro. Why even play that? And I'm like, but look at what I got. I got a bunch of skeletons. I'm like, yeah, all those guys suck, dude. Okay. Yeah, it's like that with a lot of games, just because, like I said, it's easier to min-max now.
Starting point is 00:20:50 So it's just, I think that people have just forgotten how to have fun. Oh, I agree. The problem is I think some people have associated with fun with the idea of having the best. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. And there are some people that that's their way of having fun, is having the best. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. And there are some people that that's their way of having fun is having the best. But that's only some people.
Starting point is 00:21:10 There's plenty of people that just want to do whatever. Well, I think the thing is that those people who their fun is doing the best, when other people see them doing the best, they start to retroactively not have fun anymore because they aren't doing the best. They're like, oh, those guys are doing the best, and they seem to love it. And it's like, yeah, well, that's not everybody's thing. You don't have to be the best at it. You can just love the thing that you're doing.
Starting point is 00:21:34 It's like, yeah, but then I won't get slaughterer's acts of slaughter, dude. It's like, okay, all right, whatever. Yeah, so it probably depends on the types of games too but like it's there's plenty of games you could play them however you want and still enjoy it and you know beat the game or like do stuff in the game and have fun it's just you probably can't compete at an end game like professional crazy level but like there's only a small percentage of people doing that anyway i feel like a lot of people, especially younger people, feel like they have to to experience the full game.
Starting point is 00:22:07 They have to do that stuff. And hey, hi, let me tell you, not worth it. Not worth it. As someone who did that for years, not worth it. Don't do it. It's a waste of your time. Do literally anything else. You'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:22:19 It's okay. See, my strategy is I'm going to be the worst anyway. So I may as well have fun doing what I want. I was like that in a wow rating. I was always terrible. I was always in the last. I was like, dude, I might as well just do whatever I want. That way they're like, oh, he's got a bad build.
Starting point is 00:22:36 That's why he's bad. So I'm like, yeah, it's the build, everybody. It's definitely the build. Yeah. It's definitely the build. Yeah, and even if you do try hard, you'll end up not being great anyway at a lot of things right away. So you're going to look foolish to begin with no matter what.
Starting point is 00:22:53 So just be a fool. It's fine. Grendor and I say, be a fool. Be a fool, yeah. There's also the aspect of people. I saw there's a wow video someone made everyone reacted to it where this guy was like wow isn't what it used to be there's like uh he's like it used to be just a game and now i'm like min maxing it or whatever and i think that was what led me to this and i
Starting point is 00:23:14 was like a lot of it is just once you play something and you play it a lot you just know everything about it so it becomes less like adventurous and less to like explore and enjoy it so i mean it's like anything it's like a new song it's like a new movie or whatever it's like you watch it the first time you're like wow then you watch it again you're like oh no i'm picking up stuff and then you watch it again you're like well now i know what's gonna happen that happens with games because people go into games and they're like yeah like what's this over here well it's a house what's this over here? Whoa, it's a house. What's this over here? Whoa.
Starting point is 00:23:45 And then once you know the game, you're like, oh yeah, that house doesn't matter. I've explored that. Or like, I know this thing doesn't, you don't have to go over here. Like, I don't need to go to this thing. And like, it becomes less adventurous and explorative because you can, you know everything.
Starting point is 00:24:00 And so you've lost that ability to like explore and everything. But then that's why when something new comes out, you're like, whoa, this is fun because I've never seen any of this. And then you're like, all right, and then you've lost that ability to explore and everything, but then that's why when something new comes out, you're like, whoa, this is fun because I've never seen any of this and then you're like, alright, then you know again. You're literally describing the MMORPG cycle. It doesn't matter what game it is, every time a new MMO comes out,
Starting point is 00:24:18 everyone's like, oh, this is amazing! And then it wears off because you've seen everything, you've done everything, then a new expansion, oh, this is is amazing and it's the same thing every time and it's been that way for two decades now for pretty much every mmorpg yeah and it's the same reason that as long as i remember people be like is this game dying and then they're like never mind this game's amazing and then they're like is this game dying it's just like back and forth and you're like i think it's just uh you have fun playing it and then you do everything you get bored and you go
Starting point is 00:24:48 okay i'll come back in a while and then you repeat and i feel like there's nothing wrong with that but people make their they they make it so there's something wrong with that they're like if i'm not playing this game and having fun i'm doing it wrong it's like you just do something else i think the biggest problem is that most of those games, especially in the MMORPG space, they charge monthly. Yeah, that's true. And so people get really upset when they are paying monthly and it feels like there's nothing new happening.
Starting point is 00:25:15 And so I would simply say, then unsubscribe for a few months until something new happens. Yeah. But people I think are so attached to it that they don't like the idea of not having access to it so they keep paying but then they get mad that they're still paying because but nothing's new is happening yeah and then people like wow do that terrible thing where they're like for 15 years we're gonna give you all a statue and i was like i unsubscribed for like three months in like 2010 and y'all are going to screw me like this? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:47 There should have been a, like, what do you call it? A break period or a leeway period or something. Yeah. It should have been total time subscribed or something. Instead of like, you've been subscribed since the beginning. Like that's poo poo, but whatever. I would say the smart thing, cause then you can save some bucks too. And then go spend that money to go buy a different game
Starting point is 00:26:06 and play that for a little bit. Yeah, exactly. You know, people get excited about what they get excited about, and they get fixated on that stuff, and what are you going to do? What am I going to do? Great. That's a great question. What am I going to do?
Starting point is 00:26:26 Play Pokemon, stream. You know what? I have been doing a little more variety on the streams. I've been getting back to the old variety. All right. I played Age of Mythology. I played Rise of Nations. Amazing.

Starting point is 00:28:26 I had one guy named Borg. You know, very, I assume, Eastern European names. But today, on the way there, I had Mary. And Mary was, imagine the most suburban mother of three look you can think of. Yeah. She's like, oh, hey, dear. I'm like, hi. She's like, you're Jesse?
Starting point is 00:28:49 I'm like, I am. She's like, all right, hop on in. I'm like, okay. So I get in, put my seatbelt on. She's like, you mind if I put on some music? I was like, no, go for it. Have fun. She proceeds to play a live concert of Sting. Like, every move you make.
Starting point is 00:29:07 And she was singing along the entire time. Oh, my God. I'm not going to lie. I kind of enjoyed it because she was feeling it. She was like, every move you make. I was like, okay. All right, Mary. Get it.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Yeah. She didn't look back once. She wasn't even looking to see if I cared. She was singing, eyes on the road, and just like bopping. I was like, okay, all right. I feel like that whole do you want some music or can you put music on, that was for her. That wasn't for me. 100%.
Starting point is 00:29:42 She was like, I need my tunes. Yeah, like she probably does that when she's in the car alone. She's just trying to ask you to be polite, to be like, you want this? And if you had said no, she would have been like, all right. What an ass. Yeah. And you knew she listened to it often because you know how on live albums or live songs, the singers will sing something a little bit differently so you know how on live albums or live songs the singers will
Starting point is 00:30:05 sing something a little bit differently so you know it's live right she 100 knew the little differences oh yeah she was in it there's a part where he was like singing to the crowd and the crowd was singing back in but she was doing the singing back part it was amazing dude i was like all right get it yeah it's like the thing where like in a normal song he's like i dream of rain and then she's he's probably like i dream of rain he like does like yes she was feeling it and i couldn't blame her i'm like i get this it's's Sunday evening. You're doing your thing. You're living life. Get it, girl. So I have no complaints.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Yeah. That's probably one of the best drivers you can get. Some of my favorite drivers, one time I was coming from downtown LA, and it was like 2 a.m., and I met a bunch of people there, and I was driving back from a bar, and I was very drunk. My driver was some dude who I think might have been 18. But honestly, he could have been younger. We had the best conversation ever.
Starting point is 00:31:11 He was such a dude. I was like, yeah, man. Although admittedly, I was very drunk. So my reasonableness of what was a good conversation or not may have been, you know, completely off the wall. But that dude I loved. He was like, you're a cool dude mister i was like thanks guy man you're one cool dude yeah i'm not gonna lie it felt good this young kid was like you're a cool

If I told you how much traffic there was, multiply it. Multiply what you think by 20. That's probably the amount of traffic out there. Man, this traffic copter's gotta be falling apart
Starting point is 00:35:18 now that I think about it. Like, it's been, this thing's been going for a long time. It's actually crashed multiple times in previous episodes. This is a new one. Oh, yeah, that's right. We get a new one every few years or so. Did we buy this one new or used? This one was used. We got it from the L.A. Police Department.

Starting point is 00:38:44 all right so what's the what, so what's the vibe here? How big is this place? And it's not too big, to be honest. And I'm trying to look for different restaurants and things around here, get the vibe of the town. For some reason, a lot of pizza places and then places I cannot pronounce to save my life. Right down the street is O'Leary's. A classic Swedish name. Yeah, and it's also an American restaurant.
Starting point is 00:39:10 O'Leary's American. You know. Restaurang Villard. It's another pizza place. It's looking pretty mediocre. Restaurang Laurentisthis it's another piece of place man there's not much yeah I'm looking and there's
Starting point is 00:39:30 not much but I guess I mean if you scroll out on the map dude yeah yeah it is north this is very north yeah like there's there's not a lot around. Geologically, it's not as north as it could get, but it is very north.
Starting point is 00:39:52 It is extreme north. I mean, if you're only getting like three hours of sunlight a day or nighttime a day, it's north all right. What's it like there? You've got to let us know in the comments what is it like there yeah let us know morcos morcos from licksil yeah morcos sounds like an alien morco polo his name is not morco polo it's not but i thought okay we're about to have a fight. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Although the hotel looks beautiful, Hotel Lapland. Yeah, I mean, you know, it looks good. Looks very nice. For some reason, it only has 3.8 stars. No, you know, I'm not going to judge, but it looks beautiful. Man, it's another pizza place. How are there so many pizza places? Dude, I told you, there's a lot of pizza places for some reason and all of them look just okay the sushi place looks all right oh my god
Starting point is 00:40:52 dude a let the find the dollar store there's a woman who has a hamburger hat on it what hamburger head we're missing out looking at food is a fool's game. You got to go to the dollar stores. This is hilarious. Where is this dollar store? Dollar store. A lot of fun. There it is. Oh, yeah, dollar store.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Click that, and I'm telling you, there's the one with the hamburger head. Oh, I think this woman goes around and wears different hats that the store sells because she's in a shark hat later, and then she's in a hat that leaves. Oh, I see the shark hat. Yeah then she's gonna have i see the shark hat yeah i see that there's another guy it looks like a dude he goes around putting on sunglasses that's that's a thing i see that too yeah that's probably her husband and then this one says no monkey business so that's yeah i see that yep that is that is indeed a sw yep, dollar store. Yeah, I see that. Yep. That is indeed a Swedish dollar store. I didn't even think that.
Starting point is 00:41:49 I thought for sure that it must be an American thing. No one else would do that to their people. But nope. Nope. Right near Rooner's Dick Service. Yeah. I mean, everybody needs a dollar store. Everybody needs a dollar store.
Starting point is 00:42:04 It's a staple of economies everywhere. And that's the weather. All right, let's go to sports. Sports. Oh, boy, sports time. NBA Finals. Celtics go up 2-0 on the Mavericks. The NHL Stanley Cup Final between the Panthers and the Oilers is currently,
Starting point is 00:42:28 where is it? Dude, why does ESPN make it so hard to find these things? I'm not even going to look here. Oh, wait, there it is. Florida up 1-0. They won. So Florida's up 1-0 on the Oilers. It would be pretty funny if the Canadian team lost to Florida in the NHL.
Starting point is 00:42:41 team lost to Florida in the NHL. And then over in baseball, we got our standings here of the Yankees in first with the Orioles right behind them. Got the Cleveland Guardians in first, the Mariners in first, the Phillies in first, the Brewers in
Starting point is 00:42:58 first, and the Dodgers in first, because of course. And that's sports. All right. I thought for sure there'd be more, but nope. Not really. I mean, we're down to almost just baseball season.
Starting point is 00:43:15 It is that weird time where it's sort of in between seasons. Yeah, like the NBA and NHL is like both championships. I mean, women's basketball is the thing that's happening right now, if that's your vibe. That's true. Everyone's talking about it. There's the whole Caitlin Clark thing. Yep.
Starting point is 00:43:31 She's kicking butt for sure. She's also getting clotheslined. Yeah. I, for one, want more violence in sports. So I've said for years I want, want like monsters and robots and cyborgs, mutants. I want them all. I want dudes on steroids. I want a league where there's no rules.
Starting point is 00:44:00 It is however you win, you win. That's what I want. I agree. I think that should be great. That's what I want. I agree. I think that should be great. There's too many rules in sports. I want a league where it's like, he took his head off Jim. Oh, God. Oh.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Yeah, that's what I want. They do have, how many teams in the WNBA? It looks like 12. There's 12 teams. And the Mystics are 0-12. I don't know where they're from. The Washington Mystics. Okay, well.
Starting point is 00:44:35 And then the Fever, that's the Kaitlin Clark team, are 3-9. And the Sun are number 1 at 9-1 with the Liberty at 11-2. I feel like they need more animal names. They got the Lynx.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Yeah. They need Jaguars. I guess there's already Jaguar themes. But you can get animals. Get the Rhinos. Something about that doesn't sound like basketball or like a woman's basketball. I wouldn't want to be a man's team called the rhinos why not it's wrong i mean like you're if you're football yes rugby
Starting point is 00:45:12 yes basketball what the hell did rhino stuff do with shooting hoops i mean that wmba players literally rammed in the caitlin clark the other. It could have been the rhinos. I mean, I guess, but like, that's not who it was. Yeah. I don't know. Listen, I just like, I'm a big fan of the animal names. So go links, I guess. Cause that's the only animal they got in the WNBA. And they're eating pretty good.
Starting point is 00:45:45 I don't know. Even the male sport team names. I hate when they're like the Commanders. Get out of here. I'm with you on that. I think, again, I said my favorite one lately has been the Seattle Kraken. Not a great team, but a great name. Love the name.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Yeah, that's cool. Again, Washington, the Commanders, could have been the Hogs. They could have been the Hogs, and I'm so upset they didn't pick it. And they even made a hog their mascot. It's so dumb. Just be the Hogs. That's my rant. It's a good rant.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Solid rant. I like it a lot. Thank you. That's sports. Let's go to our fact of the day. This fact is going to blow your mind. Are you ready? I mean, I have to be.
Starting point is 00:46:37 It is part of the show. That's true. It actually never used to be part of the show. Now it is. Who knows? In another 10 years, we could have a whole other segment that's true we might watch out we can have a whole segment called like another fact we're not very creative that's crazy i never saw that coming two facts one show Max, one show.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Toilet paper in France is generally pink. What is that? Hold on. I got to look this up. I don't even know that I believe this. It says what is usually found in our homes that a stark white is lively pink for French. Pink toilet paper is commonly found in bathrooms, kitchens in France
Starting point is 00:47:20 as a regional preference. In the 50s, colored toilet paper was also a rave in the US. However, health and safety concerns over the dye caused it to be discontinued in the early 2000s. Because I seem to recall when I was very, very young, like late 80s,
Starting point is 00:47:35 my grandmother had colored toilet paper. Oh, interesting. I don't know if it was pink. I seem to recall it was being like a light blue. Mm-hmm. I mean, yeah, that would make sense because it was pink. I seem to recall it was being like a light blue. Mm-hmm. I mean, yeah, that would make sense because it said they had a bunch of colors. Colored toilet paper. Oh, yeah, I'm looking at this.
Starting point is 00:47:52 In the 90s, it was still a thing. Yeah, it said early 2000s. Charmin had different colors. Yeah. Yeah, I'm looking at like a light blue toilet paper right now. Northern, a light blue. Wow. God, this fact is taking me back, actually.
Starting point is 00:48:09 At least we have a fact that takes you back. It really did. Wow. I'm like having flashbacks. I can picture the bathroom. Right next to the toilet, Reader's Digest. Yeah, colored toilet paper and Reader's Digest. That's like straight out of the late 70s or something. Yeah, colored toilet paper and Reader's Digest.
Starting point is 00:48:27 That's like straight out of the late 70s or something. Dude, that is, apparently it was in the 90s still too. That's crazy. Yeah, I guess. I don't remember that at all. Yeah, I kind of do remember. I think one of my grandparents having that too. It definitely feels like a grandparents thing because they would be like,
Starting point is 00:48:53 why when we could get yellow toilet paper, why get white doesn't make any sense yeah yeah yeah wow that they used to have ones that had like uh little colored flowers on it too oh yeah i see that's crazy dude i haven't thought about this in forever. And you're telling me France still has pink toilet paper? Yeah. Still doing it. Get it, France. Get it. I saw a mouse running on toilet paper, but he's like a happy cartoon mouse doing it.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Yeah. Oh, yes. I know that mouse. I don't know what his name is. It's probably like old toilety, the toilet mouse. That's the fact of the day. All right. What is our big news story of the day?
Starting point is 00:49:33 Big news story of the day. Man with suspended driver's license dials into court hearing while driving. Wow, I have so many questions. Okay, yeah, no, hit me. All right. Michigan man. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Michigan man, Corey Harris, probably thought he was doing the right thing when he dialed into a court Zoom call for his case about driving on a suspended license. The problem was he joined the May 15th call while driving a vehicle, something that isn't allowed when a driver's license is suspended. The whole bizarre story began with Harris' public defender announcing to Ann Arbor courtroom that her client should be present via Zoom. When he joined the call, something about him caught the eye of the judge, Cedric Simpson. Not only was there a seatbelt across the defendant's body, but he was in a moving vehicle.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Simpson asked Harris if, uh, if, Simpson asked if Harris was behind the wheel of a car. And the defendant told the court, actually, I'm pulling into my doctor's office, actually. So give me one second. I'm parking right now. Harris's lawyer then requested an adjournment for a few weeks. However, the judge needed clarity on a key point in the case. Quote, okay, so maybe I don't understand something, Simpson said. This is a driving while license suspended case,
Starting point is 00:51:06 and he was just driving, and he didn't have a license. The public defender initially replied, those are the charges, Your Honor, but eventually agreed that is correct. Quote, I don't even know why he would do that, Simpson said, before revoking Harris's bond and ordering him to turn himself in at the county jail by that evening it feels audacious like I just the man I mean I guess some people don't care I guess yeah I that's I you would think you'd not do that you'd think think like, oh man, I shouldn't be driving. One would think.
Starting point is 00:51:48 This guy didn't think. He was just like, I gotta go to my doctor. Do you think, I mean, I feel like maybe he was like, look, I gotta do both these things and I'll kill two birds with one stone. Yeah, he could have did that, but you would think that he would have just waited
Starting point is 00:52:03 to get into the doctor's office. I guess maybe if he didn't answer the court call, then it would have been worse. But he could have been like, hold on, my signal's bad or something. And then it's probably a lot of things. He could have just rescheduled the doctor appointment. I mean, you would think, but I guess not. I don't know. Grant, some of those doctor's appointments, you got to wait but I guess not. I don't know. Grant, some of those doctor's appointments,
Starting point is 00:52:27 you got to wait like three months to see somebody. I mean, you're not wrong. That's odd. Maybe he's like, can't do that. But now he's probably worse. I'm genuinely blown away by this. Yeah. No, that's pretty crazy. There'm genuinely blown away by this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:47 No, that's pretty crazy. There's got to be some other crazy backstory behind it. Nobody asked the investigative questions again. Yeah, I feel like this one, though, I get. He did the thing he was accused of while showing up to court for the thing he was doing. Right. So it all checks out. I mean, like, there's's no i have no questions to be like man caught on meth while dealing meth is arrested for meth use and dealing like yeah no i don't get
Starting point is 00:53:15 it uh yeah but i just want to know why he did it that's my thing some men just want to watch the world burn crendor it's not burning anything he's just driving without a license yeah you're not wrong i don't get it but you're not wrong uh well that's your big news story of the day all right well that's it for us thanks so much for listening or watching i'm joining this show cre.
