Hello everybody, it's time for Cause I'm Friended on This is Friended on in the morning In the morning We're on Captain Long, long, long, long, long In 4 hour and 40 studio hours

Recording Live, live, live! In a world reported to the authorities. Recording. Beep beep! Wake your ass up! It's time for the next Red Dog in the morning! Beep beep beep beep beep! Red Dog in the morning!

Hello everybody! Welcome to another episode of Cocks and Creador in the morning! Yeah, that was one of your better intros. Was it? I thought I screwed it up. No, that was solid. I thought it was a mess. No, it was solid.

Well, thank you. I'm glad you believe it, because I don't. Yeah. What's going on? You ever hear something like your parents will tell you something and you acknowledge it, but you just don't ever listen, because you know it's your parents.

You don't ever listen, they tell you something, and it's one of those life addages where it's like, my mom would always say stuff like, you always want to have clean underwear, because if you die, they they're gonna see your dirty underwear or some shit you know what I mean like something goofy well I always had this thing where my parents would be like you want to always look your best when you go out when you go out look your best go if people gonna see you especially now

that you're on the internet Jesse and people are going to see you, especially now that you're on the internet, Jesse, and people are going to see you, you want them to see you at your best. And obviously sometimes I feel that way. And sometimes I'm like, I can't be asked. Like I don't care. So today I decided to go out, do some, some shopping, get some stuff done, but it wasn't like a day that I cared. So I wore a shirt that is probably one size too small. I had my jeans are definitely dirty and I did not, I didn't do my hair. I looked like a mess. So I'm out doing my stuff, walking around and I said, hey man, I'm going to go, I'm going to go get a sub. Like I'm, I'm, I'm going to go to Jersey Mike's and I'm going to get a sub. And within two seconds of being in Jersey Mike's the dude's like, yo,

are you Jesse Cox? I've never in my life felt more like not wanting to be Jesse Cox. I looked a mess, dude. I was like, Oh boy. And the best part is he was like, I used to watch your stuff all the time. And in my mind, I'm thinking I get why he used to, what a mess I am I can hear my mom being like you should address nice You like this guy is the reason why he doesn't want you anymore cuz you're just a slob Jesse. I was like, oh Yeah, that's me. Hey, man. Thank you so much

And I just sit there off like stand there waiting for my sub to get done awkwardly sipping my to sit there, like stand there, waiting for my sub to get done awkwardly, sipping my homemade, whatever the hell that root beer they make there is, that probably isn't made by them, but you know, like the small batch root beer. I'm like, yep, yep, feeling pretty inadequate right now. So yeah, that was the start of my day. It's been like that all day. I went to go grocery shopping, and while I was grocery shopping, I was like, I hope no one even finds me because I just, what am I doing, dude? And here's the thing.

Normally, I would be so embarrassed, I'd go home and change, just out of sheer, like my mom's gonna hear about this through the grapevine, which she now will, because of the podcast. But I didn't, and I was just like, it doesn't matter. Who cares? So I just went grocery shopping the entire time. I felt like, boy, I hope people don't notice me.

No one ever does. This was a fluke. This, it never happens. I know when every, every, maybe I'll say on average once every 90 days, someone is like, Hey, I know you, but rarely is it a thing. And so I don't know why, for some reason I was affected today where I was just like, I hope nobody notices me.

Like somehow that would be a thing that would happen. But it made me so anxious because I was like, oh, my shirt barely fits in all the wrong ways. I'm so ugly. Everyone, yeah, yeah. So that's where I am today. I feel like most people don't care. Oh, I know they don't it doesn't matter I still got got I was like and the worst part is is knowing going out the door like boy You look a mess whatever

And then immediately caring I was like oh Yeah, cuz they knew you But I feel like because they knew you that, that's more of a reason where they're like, ah, it's just Jesse. Again, I think the phrase, I used to watch you all the time, is what really stung. Because in my mind, normally that happens all the time. I'll meet people and they'll be like, yeah, I'm 35 now and I have like four kids and I don't have time to do it. Yeah, sure, no, I get it. I don't care. But for some reason, looking a mess

and being told I used to watch you all the time was the perfect storm of sting. I was like, I get it, no, dude, I get it. What, I've fallen so far. What a terrible guy I am. You really have. You really have. Yeah, I was like, no, no, you're right.

You shouldn't watch me. What a letdown I've been to you and everyone else. Yeah Funnily enough I got recognized yesterday As well, we were at the Ren fair with g-mart. I hadn't seen him forever and we were about to leave and The fan came up. They're like, you know your crendor and I was like, yeah And then he was like I watch your wow stuff and I listen to cox and crendor and I was like yeah, and then he's like I watch your wow stuff And I listen to Cox and Crendor and I was like sick dude, and we took a picture I said it was $100 for that picture, but he didn't give me the hundred We're they don't listen to us

Yeah, we keep telling them to pay us and they just won't do it And I've said that maybe a hundred times at this point and nobody's ever given on you know at one time Somebody will and that's gonna be great One day we're gonna get that money. Just you wait. Yeah Yeah, they're cool, and then you know is the Ren fair again. You know the classics Mm-hmm, but yeah that happened and then No, no, I just remind brought that up cuz I got recognized. How often have you been to the Ren fair this year? It's like a you've gone back there many times?

That was the second time. Because I feel like you do, okay, yeah, I was about to say, I feel like you do once or twice a season. Yeah, I usually go twice a season. You go once at like the start, like woo, and then like another time towards then, they're like woo, and then one year we did go three times, we were like, it was too much.

There's, it's too much rent fair. Granted, there are people that go like every week, which that's way too much. Oh sure, yeah. No, that's way too much there's that's too much rent fair granted there are people who go like every week which oh sure yeah no that's way too much and I feel like they have a rent fair problem but that's on them that's I don't even know that yeah but I am curious also where do they find the income to do that rent fair is pretty expensive it does get pretty pricey

especially if you're getting food and drinks and stuff yeah it's, I don't know. It's like two times as good because it's like one time you can go and like watch all the events and do stuff. Then the second time you go, you can more like shop around and look at things and whatever. And that's, that's pretty much it. And then you're like, all right, cool. It feels like the people here in, and I guess probably in Florida as well, but the people

here in Southern California who are like Disney people and they go to Disney every week or every other week. And I'm like, brother, ignoring how expensive it would be. Wouldn't you get bored after a while? Right. That must be your entire life. Like have you, you don't watch TV, you don't play video games, you're just Disney is that. And I guess I could understand,

if you're going to be obsessed with something, fine, whatever, everyone is, but it seems like a lot of money. Like your personality must be Disney. But at the same time, like we're talking Southern California and like Florida or whatever, like there's going to be some rich people in those areas. Yeah, you're right. It's just weird to me that they've chosen their vast wealth to be like, every weekend I shall go to Disney and spend $35 for adequate macaroni and cheese.

You know, like, you're filthy rich, you can buy anything, and you're like, you know, I'd like a mid empanada. Well, I mean, it probably depends where you go. There's places at Disney that are really good, and there's places that are like a cafeteria. It could, I don't know, I mean, it probably depends where you go. This place is a Disney really good. And there's places that are like a cafeteria. It could, I don't know. I don't know. I'm allowed.

I just think it's like of all the ways to spend your time, you were doing it in the least cost-effective way possible. But with that said, Florida probably wins out because of the whole Epcot drink around the world thing. Oh yeah, I think Florida would be better. You got more stuff there. You got like all the different... I'd go Florida. But I mean, I don't... You say it's the craziest thing you can do. I can think of plenty of crazier things. Uhhh... Like what?

The rich people have gone like crazy drug binges and like... That sounds more like a rich person thing. Disney for some reason does not. I don't know why it is but it sounds like it's like all some rich person thing I don't know I guess I Guess I'm just saying if I was rich and I lived in those areas. I'd probably go to Disney every like two three weeks Hmm alright. I you know what I'm gonna retract everything I said because I feel like if I lived in Florida and I was filthy rich I would do the round Epcot Center drinking thing more times than I'd like to admit Yeah, I see I living in California

I'm like well, I've been to Disney and I've done it all and it's kind of like alright, but Epcot that whole like drinking around the thing I would do that frequently I feel like yeah alright alright I retract my statement you you win corporate Disney alright we got him yeah I don't know I'd probably go every once in a while I mean they got like then you could go like different rides

you don't have to like cram everything into one session where it's like I got to go on all the rides So much to just get in though. Not if you're rich who cares From a not rich guy perspective yeah, you're not rich. I'd be like all right. That's that is pretty crazy It's a lot of money, but if you're richly I'll give shit Yeah, I mean It's just like I think it's a funny way to go about it because you always got the rich guys are like I bought my third yacht and then

that his friends like I've been to Disney 65 times this year. You know what? I'd rather go to Disney and have a yacht. I don't want a yacht. First off neither do I. That is such a waste of money but I guess if you're filthy rich you're right. Doesn't matter where you spend your money you might as well go to Disney. Yeah I mean people they do that they go to sports games there's the those people like yeah I got season tickets every year since 86 you know they're like they do that all the time and they'll do it for like shitty teams too teams like a below 500 losing team and they're just like yeah keep my tickets going like that's a that's a big waste of money again I feel like yeah maybe it's maybe it's the

personality it's like your thing mm-hmm like I'm the season ticket guy or I'm the Disney person or I'm the yacht man I mean look at a look at twitch people spend like thousands on gotcha games I'm not gonna call them out one of the people you will instantly know but I was in a chat this past week doing D&D Mm-hmm, and one of the girls said in chat. Hey this guy and I were talking and he said if you spend 150 bucks on this gotcha, I'll spend 150 bucks and They both did and then they didn't get the pools. They wanted so she said hey I'll spend 150 bucks if you spent a hundred bucks

And so they both did and he said up I didn't get what I wanted so she and it kept going and I bet you know who that guy was Yeah, probably some sort of British man, but I'm just saying Yep That it happens frequently in circles that I'm in and I'm like, mm-mm, y'all are dumb for this. This is the stupidest waste of money. I will let you know, Sam has spent so much money on just

random ass like gotcha games or just games in general. The worst part is that the justification is so I can write it off. And I'm like, or spend it on anything else, like literally anything else. Yeah else, like literally anything else. Yeah, yeah, literally anything else. I respect you more if you told me you bought cocaine with that money.

I'd be like, at least he's doing something with it. Yeah, I don't know, I'm not a gotcha person. Oh my God, this is completely off topic, but I just remembered it. So, today, I went to the grocery store, alright? And I was just going down, getting my stuff. So last week I was at the grocery store, okay? They had this like shitty- You know how they got the samples? The food samples? Sure, of course.

Some woman was cooking up the food sample. It smelled so terrible It was what it was. I don't it was some like broccoli garlic, but it wasn't like real It was like fake broccoli garlic Why just the cooking broccoli in general is a 50-50 chances can smell like ass So why you would do that in the grocery store beyond me, but things like I don't mind broccoli smell I don't mind garlic smell but this fell the smelled fake it smell it had that weird fake chemically smell it just smelled like vomit and I just kept I'll be like and this other old lady went up to someone she's like what is that smell and they're like I think

is this thing she's like that is disgusting and I was like yeah I I mean I agree with her. I don't know what they're doing That's like a great way to have people not buy that So that was last week now this week all right. I need to start. I keep going at like 3 p.m.. I need to go like 7 p.m.. Again those the there's like barely anyone there that time I can buy whatever nobody's crazy So today oh, and I'm like down the coffee aisle I'm getting really ready to leave and this kid runs up he had to be like 10 years old he had like braces he had sunglasses and he took his sunglasses up off and he's like hey and I was like hey and he goes take this he

said like take the sock take the sock take the sock what yeah and I was like what what and then he goes take the sock take the sock take the and I was like is he saying take the shot or take the sock and I was like what are you saying and he's like you don't know and I was like no and then he ran off that was it were you like in a tick-tock video what just happened my initial reaction was is is this a TikTok? And then I was like, this kid's like 10. And he's like, nobody filming.

I'm like, then I could see. I'm like, I don't know. So I was just like, what? And then he just repeated it. And then he just acted like genuinely surprised. Like, you don't know? And I was like, no. And then he just left.

I didn't see him the rest of the store he may have been like a goblin or a leprechaun or some shit I don't know he could have showed up and vanished maybe this is like I love how you're open to the idea of it being a goblin and or leprechaun yeah it's gonna be some weird trial maybe I was supposed to be like of

course the sock and then like some epiphany would have happened I don't know but the kid ran off never saw him again I was like am I getting like human traffic right now like what's going on what if you said okay give it to me I don't know and I don't even know what if he said take the sock or take the shot I was like what I couldn't tell. The assumption I would I would assume he it would be take from him right right? Yeah, but he wasn't offering it. He just like took his sunglasses off and I just saw he had like braces. He was probably like 10 or 11. He just said that and he just like ran up from

like some other aisle and said that and then he ran off down a different aisle. And I was like, what? I wanted to see. I have to believe there was someone with a camera somewhere. There had to have been. You're in a video online somewhere being like, What? Huh? And they're like, Hehehe, we got him! I was just like genuinely confused. But like, I'm sure there's some people that maybe they have crazy reactions and they're just like, What are you saying sonny? Speak up! And they're just like, haha, but I was just like, what?

Like, yeah, this is me reacting. I was just like, what? And then he said it again and I'm just like, What are was just like what? like yeah this is me reacting I was just like what? and then he said it again I'm just like what are you saying and he just didn't know or I was like what's that mean I think I said what's that mean and he's just said you didn't you don't know and I went no and then he ran off so I was like well genuine I was genuinely confused I was like what is happening so my but yeah my initial thought was like am I being filmed for a TikTok? That was like, thought number one. I'm looking online to figure out what to take a sock means.

Right. I got that one for you, dude. And he said it three times, like he was Dorothy trying to go home. Take the sock. Urban dictionary. Maybe the urban dictionary will help us. Uh, nope. Nope us. Uh, nope. Nope. That's, nope. All of it has to do with

things we probably shouldn't talk about on the podcast. But none of it is take the sock. That does not. So I looked at both of them. I looked up take the sock. I looked up take the shot. But I couldn't find either one. Yeah. This isn't I I Maybe was a kid trying to get things started obviously this could be just a Weird kid and that's fine. Yeah That's what I said out there. I was like this might just be a weird kid and

Or my read my thing was like maybe he saw this in a YouTube video or Like some other weird because that sounds like something or like some people like what's up kids oh take this I went up to this random guy and I went right like I don't know but I was just genuinely confused I was like all right and then I was like I looked around to see if his parents were around I didn't see any parents and I didn't see him for the rest of the thing I was like oh so I just checked out and left yeah I'm looking to see if there's someone online who's like twitch.tv slash take the sock I'm I'm just genuinely confused and I just want to understand and

I'll probably forget by tomorrow. So What let us know if you know any weird youtuber tick-tock trend that's something like that I don't know there is there was something called take the sock fest in 2020 what? sock fests and you would take the sock and you throw it in a bucket that's a thing there's a First person to take the sock off on tick-tock is it is the thing maybe he was challenged me to Sock game or he's gonna try to take his sock off before I took mine off or something. Why would you do that in a

grocery store? I mean again I have no answers for you. I'm yeah you know what you have you had the more interesting interactions this week. Yeah mine just made me feel bad. Yours it was a mystery. Yeah, that's a mystery It's like normally you can piece it together like this kid saw some weird YouTube thing or whatever which he still might have sure That's my that's my theory But I'm I'm just genuinely confused because then he just left and I never saw him again, and that was it Those are the only things he said What sucks is that I'm absolutely?

Googling take the sock and I'm now on YouTube looking up take the sock and There's many phrases that include take the sock, but it's not specifically that Yeah, there was a challenge going around at one point where was who could take their socks off faster That's that doesn't relate to you and that was like years ago. Yeah, and this kid was like 10 or 11. Like he was definitely not, you know, he was like a dweeby kid with braces. My prevailing theory, this was you from the past,

time traveling to the future to warn you about socks. That could be and they only had a few he only had a few seconds to do it take the sock take the sock I'm gonna run back to the portal knowing me and my time traveling self I probably would have like showed up late I think he did that's why I had to run back to the portal he was probably trying to warn me for like 2018 or like my, I had to get my big toenails removed or something. He's just like, yeah take the sock. Take the sock. And I'm just like, what? And he's like, oh shit, it's like six years late.

Likely. It's weird, this scenario is weird that the past version of you would go to the future version of you to change something in the past. But that sounds like you would do that, so I'm gonna allow it. That does sound like something I would do, yeah. But that sounds like you would do that so I don't sound like something I would do Yeah, I mean I He was on par with me in the past to like a 13 year old me Was well actually like 10 to 13 year old me. I have like old family videos. I'm like reading a Nintendo instruction manual

At like Christmas time being like yeah yeah, I'm going to play Medal of Honor. And like, you know, just some skinny kid. Right. But as we talked about, there's always going to be a worse version of that, but just of me. Like there's video out there of me at home reading a Nintendo Power in tighty whities and a white t-shirt in like a, you know, like a grandpap chair, you know, like one of those chairs that clearly that's granddad's chair. And I'm reading it in Nintendo Power.

And my mom was like, what are you looking at? Look, Nintendo Power, it's the coolest. And she's like, can I see it? I'm like, no, it's for cool kids only. It's so embarrassing. It is like peak garbage kid. I look a mess. I am reading it I just it's

incredible I need to put that on the internet but I feel like people would instantly be like you made it weird cocks you made it weird yeah it's yeah no it's it's fun looking back but then you do you like cringe moments oh it's pure cringe it is one of the cringiest things I've ever seen my entire life. I'm like oh my god why did we save this of all things? I remember oh my god this is like the same video I think I was like I think I

was 13 in this and I go up to my grandma and it's Christmas and I go which one is correct? 2 plus 7 is 9 or no I already messed it up I said the 7 plus 4 is 9 or 7 plus 4 are 9 and she's like neither of those are correct it's a 6 plus 3 is 9 and I was like die you foiled it it's like someone else like tricky things where it's like a plane crashes, where do you bury

the survivors? And you're like, oh no, and it's like nowhere because they survived, like one of those things. Right? So it was like, I don't know, I was 13, my dad probably told that joke or something and I just repeated it. Look, kids are great, but if a kid came up to me. It was like daddy You have two choices Is 9 plus 9 18 or is 9 plus 9 boopy? I'd be like

Go to your room Like just go to your room. I don't want to deal with you. Yeah, I'm not raising an idiot go to your room. I don't want to deal with you. Yeah that does sound- Like I'm not raising an idiot. Go to your room. To be fair that probably does sound like something your dad would have done to you. So instead he's just carrying them. I have no- I just have zero patience for it. I'm like I didn't raise you to be stupid and joke around. That should be a problem because then my kid would grow up to be an asshole. And I don't want an asshole.

I think I would probably- I'd be like well. Let's let's break this down So I mean it could be nine plus nine is 18, but is it poopy theoretically it could I mean if we if we really analyze this they'd probably be like uh and just like run away. That's probably what I would do I Don't know what I would do. I'd be upset the entire time I don't know what I would do I'd be upset the entire time I'd be like, ugh, these kids I think that's my thing, I start going to David Lynch on it like breaking it down, it's like the mathematics are a structure of our environment but numbers can be added into actual words as well and describe the way we feel

so 9 plus 9 is poopy can be correct in certain circumstances if you look at the universe as a series of existence and non-existence you label everything as ones and zeros it could be in fact that enough poopy equals 18 for the existence of poopy I'd be like, what have I created? What kind of child is this? Who am I? What the hell? I would be impressed though. That is, yeah, that would be impressive. Try to think, anything else happen this week? Probably, it's usually when I forget. I don't think I wrote anything down.

I always think of stuff and then I'm like, I got to write that down. If I don't write it down, it's gone. It's, it's long gone. I did see that you tweeted about the shitty Twitch update. Dude, it is bad. Oh yeah. It's bad. I got it like a month ago. Twitch as a product. Sometimes when I see news articles that say Twitch is losing money for Amazon, I get it. I'm like, yeah, no, it's a terrible product. And sometimes I'll watch either you or Octo or,

you know, late at night, people who stream it like after 10, in my time. And you know, it's literally me just like winding down. And sometimes I'll turn on the TV and watch and sometimes I'll watch the app and A lot of the times when I turn on the TV I have to turn on the app in order to chat because the TV version of chat sucks Yes, like the TV app is terrible. Plus there's a delay. It's really weird. I don't understand So I'll turn on the app to actually chat

And so I just haven't had time recently because I've been doing Final Fantasy stuff, trying to finish an 8,000 hour campaign. And I'm just like constantly in it. And so this morning I was like, huh, I got a message. Dude, I have a weird thing on my phone where if you or anyone that I follow have streamed in the last three days,

a thing will pop up on my phone and be like, they're streaming right now. And I'll go look and you clearly aren't. That's weird, yeah. I don't know why that is. And so I got one of those when I woke up and I was like, that's interesting. What are they streaming? And I went to go look and I got the new Twitch page thing. And it is truly awful. It is some sort of hybrid amalgamation of both TikTok and Tinder in the worst way possible. And I don't understand it. When you go there, on the side, in the top left,

there is the people you're following. You can click on that again. And it takes you to a thing that looks like old Twitch, which makes no sense. Why does it still have old Twitch? But when you get to the front page, it is straight up just a video with the person's name and you're watching the video right away.

Like what? And then I tried to scroll off of it and say, nope, you're on a new video. A new person streaming on... I'm like, nope, click off of that. And it just keeps going. And I'm like, what is the... all I want to do is when I go to Twitch, either I'm looking for someone in particular or I want to see a category. Right. This whole when you go on there immediately and it's just someone streaming, I don't I didn't want to watch this. Also what if it's a game with spoilers? Yeah. Like now I'm immediately watching like come on what a

terrible idea. I don't know who thought this up. I saw someone on Twitter when I posted saying that it sucked said that the reason why is because people with fewer viewers wanted to be seen more and I was like there's so many better ways to have done this. It makes no sense because when I was on there the only people I saw were either people that I followed or people that had thousands of views. I didn't see a single person as I scrolled through. I was just being fed what it thought algorithmically I would like which I guess is the best people But I don't watch the only again the only people I really watch are my friends. Yeah

It's like what the hell is what the hell is this my thing is I don't care that they have it I just don't want it to be the first thing that opens up So it's like sure when I open the app it should just be like people I follow like when I open the app, it should just be like people I follow. People are like, you know, I can click on whatever and like neat. OK, I can see what people are up to that I'm I want to watch categories and things. And then maybe if I swipe to the left, it goes to this scrolling mode where you can scroll through things and like discover like, cool, that's fine. But if they're trying to make it like Tick Tock or it opens right away

and it's like, here's a stream, start scrolling through away and it's like here's a stream start scrolling through and it's like This isn't TikTok. This is a lot long form Live-streaming with numerous people. It's like it's it doesn't work the same way It does and they're just trying to like copy paste it over and they're like now we'll make money The worst part is I don't think they thought about the human condition and the mentality of being a person Because if I go open this thing up and a video pops up immediately and I don't have any, I don't see anyone else streaming. They don't show you other streamers. They give you one person, right? The human condition will get 99.9% of people to be like, well,

this is fun, but what's the next person doing? Right? So if you're the first person you're already being scrolled off of, you might get that initial number, but then they're not watching you. They're moving on because they're like, well, who else is gonna be here? Who else is streaming?

And at that point, you're literally doing what happens on TikTok, which is people scroll through as quick as possible, and they don't really focus on anything, and then you end up with no real fan base watching you because people are busy looking through all the different things It's a terrible idea. Just terrible. Yeah, it's it's so dumb and it is like You could tell nobody like thought this through like you could have so many different ways to go about this you could have it so

You open your main page, and it's what everybody wants. It's like here's everybody I follow right I can do whatever and then it'll be like oh do you want to discover new people and you can be like yeah and then it'll be like what do you want to find and you can like specify the category of like I want this game or this type of game or this type of streamer and then you can start scrolling through and it'll take you over there and it'll let you discover new people that way and then you can click like follow and then you go back to your main page and it's all the people you follow.

I go, wow, I'm gonna watch that. Like, how's that? This is like basic marketing 101. My God. Again, in my tweet I asked, I wasn't angry, I wasn't pissed. I was just like, could you please share your work on this? What were the metrics?

What was the algorithm? What was the desire for this? Why did you do this? I don't, it you please share your work on this? What were the metrics? What was the algorithm? What was the desire for this? Why did you do this? I don't, it happened, it already happened. I'm not gonna fight you on it. Why did you do this? Like show the public, instead of just like, TikTok get big number, we want big numbers.

Like what about your audience said this is the way to go? Because this is nonsense. And of course they won't because, you know, corporate, but still absolutely goofy. The only other thing I can think of is when it opens right away, maybe plays ads, right? So they're trying to force the ad

play right away. Like that's, but even then that's, yeah, that's terrible. The first thing you do when you open up their app is an ad would be the worst. Yeah.

So I, but I could see them doing that. Like, what if we get them to open it and the ad plays and we make money? Like we got them. So that sucks. That sucks. It does, but I'm trying to understand what they're thinking. That's like, those are the only things I can think of, or they're just like,

make an app and they just throw it together and slap it up there. Like, what do you want it to be like? Tick tock. Okay. And and they did it and they're like people don't like it I feel like a lot of people are saying again that this is one of those things they did they announced that EU twitch con as a way to get eyes on smaller views from smaller streamers right the thing is that's not what it's doing and never in the history of any change that they've ever made has it been to the benefit of smaller streamers.

In fact, it goes against their own interest to do that. You know what I mean? If you get people to watch bigger streamers, the ad money's bigger. It's the reason why, despite all the insane stuff happening with MrBeast recently, that YouTube will always go to bat for Mr. Beast, because Mr. Beast brings them money. Yeah. It's like... And so it doesn't make, you know, you're not gonna change your entire system

for someone with 15 viewers. It's just not gonna happen. So them saying that feels like a lie, which is... It is a lie. You know, it's very bizarre to me, this whole thing. Yeah, no, it's 100% a lie. I never get fooled by it. They're just like, we care about the small part.

It's the equivalent of sports people being like, we love the fans, we can't do it without you. It's like, yeah, you could. You did it during COVID. You played without us. Yeah. Nobody was there. Now there's no one in the crowd.

You put standees in the crowd. Yeah, so you can clearly do it. It's just you need the money for it. It's the same shit when they when they're just like when a big all-star player like a you know top-tier quarterback like your Tom Brady Or your LeBron James and basketball whatever whenever they're doing something. They're just like get them what they want But if like Scooby McGee the like third string bench guys like hey guys mind if we there's like shut up You want us to ban you we don't care like they don't care because they're not making them money it's the same with like big streamers let me stress you and I have lived this moment when we were at

e3 in Xbox booth playing Cuphead and literally suddenly out of nowhere all these people come in they're like you guys got to go you guys go Kanye West is coming and we need to clear this room out for Kanye West. And we're like, yo, we can play with Kanye West, and they're like, no, you can't. Yeah, if you make people money, they'll do everything for you. And if you don't, you are nobody to them.

That's just the industry in general. And so the fact that they would say, we did this for people with no views, everyone that I saw today was either a person I followed, which they gave me because I followed them, or a person who had thousands of people watching. I didn't see one person that was like, I'm just starting, this is my first stream.

I didn't see any of that. Yeah. It's, man, it's the same with like when big people are always skeptical of other people collaborating with them too, which like I get, because like somebody will be like, yo man I love your stuff and it's already like what's this person want? Right? Because you're so used to people just being like maybe if I make connections with them then I'll become big. And so it's like you get like so many of those. You just have a wall that automatically just goes up like, no I'm good. So like there's like so many different variables

but it all ties into like people want to make money and that includes the big companies and all this stuff so that's why I'm like okay they definitely wanted to make money from this app so what did they do to make it so they make more money so it's like could it be the ads playing right away maybe could they just see tick-tock makes money so they copied it they might have did that too because they could be dumb like I don't know. Now it doesn't make a lot of sense to me but you're right it's whatever the reason is it's money but it's also just like I mean you know as a company you're losing money so what could you do to prevent that and make I mean like all their initiatives to make twitch more like

YouTube you probably could scrap that yeah no it's just oh it's a streaming it's a streaming platform for streaming cool why do you keep adding features that are like keep all these videos forever and also save all your clips and make shorts out of it and keep up like the servers probably cost money I don't know it makes the way they're doing it makes no sense to me, but like, what do I care? They added stories. I'm sure some. I've made two stories so far and I'm like,

these stories suck, get rid of them. Those have been my stories. Yeah, and you're right. It's, I've only seen one, one streamer I follow. Only one has made stories and it's because she just uploads. I don't know how she figured out how to do it, but she uploads her TikToks. Yeah. And I'm like, so it's just like when YouTube tried

to do stories and people just take their TikToks and upload it to YouTube. It's just all cross platform shit. They just copy and paste on everything. I think everyone's hoping that the government bans TikTok. Yeah. Everyone's like, if they do though, we'll be filthy rich. So like we got to invest now. And it's like, guys, I don't, they said they were gonna do that and shit has not happened, so. Yeah, it's not happening.

But all the big companies want it to happen. So they're like, then our YouTube shorts will take off. Our Facebook reels, our Instagram reels, they're all gonna blow up. Yeah, it's like, okay, dude, all right. Yeah, so it's dumb and it's dumb, you know what's not dumb. Wow. What?

All right, let's go to the chapter. Yes, I was a traffic out there. Oh Boy, you're not gonna believe this but there's traffic. That's right. That's it's unbelievable I don't believe it. That's what I'm saying you weren't gonna believe it but there is traffic out there watch out cars are crazy and You know I I've been doing some pretty uncreative traffic segments lately. I need to get back on that. I need up my traffic game Thank you. Oh Okay, so next time yeah next time. Yeah. Next time. Not today.

Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Next time. Right. I thought for a minute I was like, Oh, here we go.

And you're like, and I'm done. Yeah, no, I'm good. Okay. Let's go to weather. Today is coming in from, uh, where did I pick? Oh, here to Cato, New New York there's one stoplight in town and the main attraction is the pizza shop at the intersection nothing interesting has ever happened there non-content I went to go look at the town

and you're absolutely correct the town is one street and a pizza shop at the intersection it is the most accurate description I've ever seen of a town ever. Wow, that is, when people say upstate New York, this is upstate New York, wow. Oh yeah, this is, we're in Canada. It's in between Syracuse and Rochester, and it is like, it is a street, all right.

Well, it is currently 78 degrees in Cato New York feels like 80. Pressure 29.93 inches humidity 56% 10 miles visibility 6 a.m. sunrise a 23 p.m. sunset winds at 5 miles an hour 2.61 UV UV index zero and a moon phase of new moon new moon also the 10 day we got ourselves a Monday 83 degrees scattered thunder, thunder storms Tuesday PM showers 72 degrees Wednesday 77 mostly sunny Thursday 79 mostly sunny Friday 78 with showers

Saturday 79 with AM showers and Sunday 77 with some AM showers also watch out hurricane Debbie is expected to become hurricane wait what does it make any sense hurricane Debbie's gonna become maybe tropical storm Debbie oh yeah I think it's tropical storm Debbie is becoming a hurricane Debbie so That's hitting Florida I believe so Watch out for that and then they got all the classics like closer Look at what Florida can expect from Debbie watching tense winds four things You know need to know about Debbie right now, which just sounds funny it like you got to know these know about Debbie right now which just sounds funny like you gotta

know these things about Debbie there's probably somebody named Debbie like finally it sounds like a Cosmo article that we would read on this show but I must I must specify all right oh man the one pizza place on this intersection if you look at the more modern pictures it seems fine mm-hmm but at a certain point in 2019 some of the photos, I don't know why they've allowed them to exist online. There's one photo of the pizza restaurant. It is taken from the dining room and it's showing the back of the pizzeria and it looks dirtyish. Like it is, the mop is covered in grime. Yeah.

Like the mop and bucket is, it used to be yellow, I don't know what color it is now. It is not a great look. The chicken wings look dry as hell. I'm looking at this like, guys, you're the New York pizzeria, this does not look good. And then eventually if you keep scrolling down, you get to photos like 2023, things like that,

and you're like, oh,'s actually pretty like they made one pizza where the pepperoni looks like Mickey Mouse oh yeah I see that and I'm like that looks like a good pizza that looks like it's fine pizza but then they also have like a photo of 2022 and the chicken wings look burnt to shit oh yeah I see that yeah oh this is it's a wild

vibe that's that's looking pretty bad they got they got that old wood you know I see that. Yep. Oh, this is it's a wild vibe. That's that's looking pretty bad They got they got that old wood, you know that like old dark paneled wood Yes. Yes, that's that's a classic. It is Something must have happened where they Started making stuff better Yeah, like Kovac probably took it because a lot of the things that are 2019 to 2022 look pretty awful. But then the things that are 2023 look good.

So I'm assuming COVID destroyed this place, because it is, some of these pizzas do not look appetizing at all. Yeah, and that chick, those chicken wings look like some of the worst. Like they're genuinely some of the worst chicken wings I've seen. I'm blown away. But also it is, I mean it appears to be the only spot in town. As far as I can tell, there is nowhere else to eat in this town. Yeah. There's a Terry's Food Mart, shout out to Terry's. Yep, Terry's.

But there's nothing else. And then the high school is like way down the street. The high school and the rec center. There's a Horning's produce. What the hell is Horning's produce? Oh wow! I understand why they don't have a lot of places in this town. They literally have a produce shop that's like a dude's house but he's selling like farm stuff. I would go there over a grove. Like it looks like some dudes home, but he's selling freshly baked bread and Produce from directly from a farm. He's got a bakery thing that they're selling pies, but it looks like One little one little like sort of freezer area, but it's all pies. They're probably a Nana made like sort of freezer area, but it's all pies that probably a Nana made

Yeah, they got big things of apples you can get yo, this would be the spot. This looks awesome Yeah, this is that's got to be it. That is pretty good Nothing better. They're over any other place anything. Yeah They have a broccoli that looks like it was just pulled out of the ground in a small one of those you know like a College dorm room fridge thing It's that like this is incredible. I would go there in a heartbeat. See this is what I was looking for. Yeah The tomatoes look awesome. They look so good Peaches different corns this looks great

Is there really nothing? Oh wait, there's a Carolyn's Creations. She makes cakes. What is Carolyn creating? She makes cakes. Bakery cake. And I think it's just her house. I straight up think. That sounds right. I mean, they look good. She makes pretty good creations, I will say. It's so funny to me that that for some reason also dollar general always a dollar general always always a dollar general. Always a dollar general. Doesn't matter where you're at in the world at least in the United States there's always a dollar general you can be in the middle of like

the deep country and there's there's a dollar general there I will say if you drive a bit east you end up going to Meridian and there's a happy days drive-in. I see that oh my lord Yeah It's like ice cream. They got this is like your classic. They got the ice cream. They got some burgers probably like Dairy Queen style Yeah, it looks like yeah, you're right right it's a classic Midwestern in the middle of nowhere ice cream shop yeah but I'm curious I haven't seen like any grocery stores or anything there's a few of them back in the actual town proper

oh I see um but you know grocery like it's Terry's food Mart ah yeah that's kind of like a grocery store, but also kind of like yeah We got 15 types of pop tarts. Yeah, it's that is a food Mart It kind of looks like the dollar store grocery section, but like just slightly better And they have like name brands. I love that also it's still New York So if you drive far enough Duncan Donuts in the middle of nowhere. Oh, yeah, I see that I Don't see any other fast food, but I do see a Dunkin Donuts, which is really funny to me. Like it's look

It's New York. You got to get you Dunkin. It's got a 3.8 Yeah, they have a Reeves they've got fruit stands and various farms. And then eventually you keep going and then suddenly you're in Syracuse. Oh yeah, I guess Syracuse is like the closest city you're going to get to. What's weird about it is it isn't a main road. Like you could take the 90 from Syracuse to Rochester to Buffalo to Fort Erie, all that stuff, and that's, you know, you can do that from literally Boston, go Boston on the 90 all the way to Buffalo.

You can just take the one road. But this isn't that road. This is like a little tiny road from North Rochester to North Syracuse. Oh yeah. So I imagine not many people are taking it unless you live in the area. But also it is a ton of farmland. Yeah, it's a lot of farmland.

But also, it's kind of on the way if you're going from Ithaca or you're coming from Pennsylvania, it's probably one of the ways you would go to get to Lake Erie, or I'm sorry, Lake Ontario. Yeah. It's probably one of the ways you would go to get to Lake Erie. I'm sorry, Lake Ontario. Yeah. So, yeah, I don't know, man. Once again, though, it's putting in perspective how different I view Canada because Canada, I think like, oh, yeah, it's so big. But once again, looking at this, Toronto and Toronto and Montreal are like right on the American border. Yeah. Like Syracuse seems almost equidistant between Toronto and Montreal are like right on the American border. Yeah. Like Syracuse seems almost equidistant between Toronto and Montreal.

And you think like Montreal, well, that's, that's French Canadians, but that's like, it's like right there. Yeah. It's like, it's like, it's like most of Canada is just wild forests and mountains, like whatever rivers yeah I keep thinking like what is you know here's what you know about Canada there's still a place called the Northwest Territories that just sounds

unsettled it sounds like the early 1800s yeah that's sound like the Yukon is still there you know what I mean like it sounds like a place where you would go to get lost or killed by a bear. Yeah Third guy died this week to the bear Yeah, same one Bears getting everybody That's the weather

Let's go to sports sports. Oh boy. We've got some sports We had our first preseason football game Hell, it was the Bears Texans Hall of Fame game and it got canceled in the third quarter for weather Sounds that sounds right. Yep, and nothing was missed We got baseball get into the the second half or the I guess we're in like the final 33% of the games or in the final third The games now so now it's getting a little more fun You got the Orioles Yankees tied in first than the East yet the Guardians leading the central yet

The Mariners the game up on the Astros in the West You got the Phillies in first in the East the Brew Brewers in first, and then the Dodgers still in first. So, it's happening. And then, we've got the Olympics happening. Which... Hey, they're still going on! Dude, I've been watching the Olympics, but like, I watch the weird sports, you know what I mean? Like, dressage? Oh, I don't even't know or the shooting ones oh yeah see I saw some of the shooting one I saw table tennis that was pretty wild do you see the

table you see the guy do the play where he like he like made the ball bounce back towards him I didn't see that I think he was oh god who I might have been a Swedish dude or a Norwegian dude, they're going up against a Chinese guy who I think is supposed to be one of the best, I don't know. But he hits the little ball back and it bounces on the other guy's side and then the spin on it bounces it back towards his side so the dude can't hit it. I was like, that is the trolliest move I've ever seen. It was awesome.

That is pretty great. I wish I was seeing that. I don't know if he won but he definitely won that moment and it was great. I also saw Bad Mitten. That was intense. Love that. I was watching like floor hockey or field hockey whatever it is that was pretty crazy they're like it was super crazy it's like soccer and hockey mixed together it's wild I was watching some judo I never really watched judo before that was crazy I thought I understood what judo was I'm gonna let you know I do not know what judo like watching it I'm like wait how did they get a point what the hell just happened there

yeah I was confused too and then I think I slowly Understood, but not really it's like they're grappling and then they just try to knock each other over. I guess I don't know I Don't know Say that's that's what I've been watching. It's honestly pretty fun watching the wild the wacky wild yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah So that's happening we got another week of that and uh sports all right what's our fact of the day fact of

the day fact of the day fact of the day we just keep going no one notice that you're looking it up no way I'm looking it up right now. Um... The human brain is eating itself. Pardon? That's right. Phagocytosis

is where cells consume smaller cells or molecules to ultimately remove them from the system. This is not a harmful process, but a necessary one in order to preserve grey matter in the brain. Shit dude. Shit, dude. Wait, what? Wait, hold on, what? What do they mean by this? Yes, I guess it's just your cells eat other cells in the brain that keep it

rolling. Voto says it's a process in which a cell uses its plasma membrane to engulf a large particle such as a virus, infected cell, bacteria, dead tissue, or small mineral particle. It then draws particle inward and engulfs it." I'm so different what you just said. I'm like, hold on, what the hell? If you look at images, I guess there's a bunch of images of phagocytosis. Phagocytosis? Yeah, P-H-A-G-O-C-Y-T-O-S-I-S.

So it's not like actively attacking our brain. No, I think it's more like recycling. Or like just cleaning up. Oh, I'm fine with recycling. I don't use that shit anyway. So like, it's fine. Yeah, that's good. I thought it was like, the stuff I am using, I gotta keep that keep that yeah I don't think that's I guess just doing its thing I trust my body to know better than me yeah I do too I've seen that anime with

the cells I know what's up that's your fact of the day big news story of the day day day this one also ties into the Olympics Paris Olympics mascot is a smiling head mmm I thought it was Snoop Dogg as far as I can tell it could be that as well he is everywhere and he looked he's looking great. Um, the mascots called fridges fridges fridges Fridge triangular Olympic fridges Is it the Eiffel Tower as the puzzled American tourists queued in front of Paris Megastore to international visitors? visitors the triangular Olympic fridges mascot might resemble the iconic monument. A poop emoji, that's according to another shopper. A tongue or even the female anatomy. However, it rings a

particular bell for the French. It's been over 200 years since the bonnet fridgin was last a common sight in the streets of Paris, yet the hat still carries the same revolutionary spirit as it did in 1789. Does it? The official? I mean, I, I, I, I, I, I found images. Hold on. Let me see if I can send this to you. This is what it's supposed to be. If you were watching Les Mis, there might be a dude who has this on in the background, like, do you hear the people sing?

They have this thing on. Yeah, I see. Once you see the image of it, you're like, oh, okay, that's definitely what it is. But until then, it does not look like a damn thing. It just looks like a weird animal or something. The official Olympic Friji mascot is a nod to the Friji cap, an emblematic accessory of the French revolutionaries.

Revived from Roman times when freed slaves used to wear it, the revolutionaries adopted it as a testimony to their values of freedom and emancipation for both men and women. The heritage of the French Revolution and their birth of the First Republic have deeply influenced the French, who now associate the Phrygian cap and subsequently the Fridge pronounced along the lines of Frees? With its ideals. I'm saying Fridge. It's the symbol of liberty and it's also a strong message linked to the revolution though we went for For those games declared Tony Estanglo

President of Paris organizing committee before the games Showing a little more respect for French authorities this time theinge Fries is making its presence felt across France. Life-size Fringe Fries have been popping up at the Olympic venues where fans wait in line to take pictures with them. They visited famous French monuments and even posed with foreign police officers. The Olympic mascots all over the games and of course the Paris 2024 official stores. It adorns mugs, caps, t t-shirts key rings and more within just 15 minutes of the mega stores opening tourists are already hastily lining up to snag souvenirs some such as Kevin Cahill brim with

enthusiasm at the idea of buying everything everything because I'm very excited to be here even though he admits he doesn't know the mascot symbolism he describes it as amazing yep that sounds right it is amazing I mean it looks like something I gotta buy it it's awesome gotta buy it gotta buy it his excitement mirrors that of many others as seen with Pierre Leonardo who's sporting the freeze

fridge in the hat I wanted to wear one today in memory of France that's what he sounded like and that's what he said. And like, that's what he said. Yeah. Yep. I now understand it more, having seen the original hat. The mascot, the eye, so on the original hat, right,

it was red, and you would have a ribbon on the side, and the ribbon would be red, white, and blue, right? Right. The French colors. And what would have a ribbon on the side, and the ribbon would be red, white, and blue, right? The French colors. And what would happen is you'd put little ribbons on your hat. And a great example is this one right here, which I will send to you to give you an example. Why did I click save as? Cool, that's awesome.

I thought I'd have that forever. Open image in new tab. So you have this, and you can see that the ribbons that will be put on this are Basically the eyes of the mascot. Oh Yeah, so the eyes are the main ribbon and then the little ribbons that come off of it are the eyelashes That's actually that's actually pretty creative Yeah, so now it makes sense to me. I'm like, okay That's I've seen some mascots of the Olympics in the past that are like what the hell is this yeah no

this actually makes a little bit more sense once you know what it is you're like okay I get it yeah no that's pretty cool and that's pretty much it the mascots ahead yippee yippee shout out to Snoop Dogg, who is still doing great. My favorite, I saw Snoop Dogg retweet a thing today, which is really funny, where he's, some guy wrote, hey Snoop Dogg, my mom really likes when you're in the Olympics, like when you show up on Olympics things.

It's really funny, because I have to remind her that when I was a kid, she wouldn't let me buy your album. And then Snoop Dogg's like, yo, shout out to your mom, and he has all these emotes. It's really funny because I have to remind her that when I was a kid she wouldn't let me buy your album. And then Snoop Dogg is like, yo shout out to your mom and he has all these emotes. It's really funny. I was like, that's pretty good. That is pretty good. They really need Snoop Dogg to wear this hat. That's what we need.

Yes, we need Snoop Dogg at the closing ceremony to look like a French revolutionary. Yeah, that would really tie it all together. So far he's cosplayed as all sorts of stuff. Yeah. They had him dressed like he was gonna ride a horse. They had him looking like he was like, I don't even know, like some aristocrat guy. Like, he's been dressing up.

We need him dressed like a character from Les Mets. Yeah, 100%. Yep, Jean Valjean Snoop. Snoop Von Snoop.
