Now let's jump into this podcast.
Hello everybody, it's time for Ghost in the Treadong.
This is Treadong in the morning.
In the morning.
We're broadcasting live, live, Long, Long, Long!
In 4 hour recording studio recording!
Recording!
Bip Bip! Wake your ass up in the next rending in the morning!
Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip B I'm setting us on a cocks and crenda in the morning Yay Yeah, you know It's kind of different when there's not a crowd hyping you up and telling you you're awesome
Oh, yeah, it was like a week ago already. That was a week ago. Yeah, how'd that happen? Look at us look at us
Those uh, those live show number six
Something like that. Yeah, I mean it was we did two this year, so I'm feeling pretty good
about that.
Oh yeah, that's right. We've done two.
My biggest fear, real talk, is that we end up doing live shows on a regular basis because
I'm going to say it and I don't know if people agree with me or not, but when podcasts start
to go full-time live shows and every show is a live show. I stop listening the shows start to suck every time
Well, yeah, because it's it's a different
beast
You know I mean yeah, no I agree with you. It just it is it's a different thing entirely. Yeah, that's why I mean listen
I'm never doing all live shows
That's too much work if you must know I got some got some feedback, because my mom listened to the live show,
and she always gives such great feedback.
She said, and I quote,
took a little while to get rolling.
So there you go.
All I heard was, beginning sucked, Jesse, do better.
That's what I heard, so thanks, Mom.
It's like we're a sports team.
We just had a couple three-and-out drives,
just took a while to really get it rolling
Yeah, but then once we got there we got there. She's like I enjoy she'll tell me how much you enjoyed it or whatever
But she was like
The thing with live shows is they become more about
It's like it's like an event right it's like something you do every so
often and it's more like crowd
interaction and it's it's like it's so
many different variables compared to
us just sitting down being like what do
you do this week and like writing about
some random stuff I don't want to call
out the podcast but there are many I've
listened to many podcasts over the years
and every single time much like when a YouTuber thinks they can become famous
for doing something else and they vanish and then they try to come back and do
YouTube and it just doesn't work anymore. Yeah. Same vibe. Like, all right,
you just changed, you become something different.
You're not what I tuned in for and I get it. It happens all the time. So yeah,
I don't want to become that.
I want to keep what we have this and then every so often we'll do a live show just to like, say, hey, thank you, come to the live show.
Yeah, that's kind of how I view them. We're on the same page, which is good.
Good. Yeah.
It is good.
It would suck if we weren't. It would suck if you were like a few pages ahead, because I, first off, would ask you to help me cheat.
Yeah. would ask you to help me cheat. But secondly, yeah I don't think I want to
constantly be flying back and forth to Chicago. Yeah. I know you most certainly
aren't gonna fly anywhere so. Oh that's very true. You probably also don't want
to cheat off my work. It's like the worst thing you could do. I mean it depends on
what the subject is. I guess there's many of the educational system subjects you
would not want to cheat off my test I
will say did you did you have any great
classes in high school what were you
good at gym always got an a in gym okay
um couple like social studies ones I
got like BS that's That was pretty good.
Math was terrible.
Great. That doesn't help me.
Yeah, my math sucked too.
Science was terrible.
Yeah, except for earth science. I liked rocks.
I did also get earth science.
I got like a B in earth science. Yeah.
Earth science was the only science I was like, I get this.
The minute it started being like,
now let's look at the equation for the biological symbol for farts, and I'm like, no, I'm out.
Yeah, no, it's... math, science, I was already like, yeah, I'm not doing any of these.
Then we had art. I did pretty alright in art.
In art?
Yep, art. So we had art class.
How do you fail art? I think failing arts just not trying or just not showing up
I was about to say like art so subjective like being there and participating is your a
Yeah, it's subjective enough that sometimes you're like. How are you grading this?
right because it's
They would just be like I give you like a like a C plus. I'm like, I actually think that was pretty good.
But it's all subjective.
So it's like...
I bet you could cheese your way through an art class.
If the assignment was, paint a man.
You could paint anything and be like, this is how I view mankind.
Well that's what I'm saying.
And what's your artist teacher going to say?
Like, incorrect. That's wrong.
Well that's what I'm saying. They might. saying they might genuinely my yeah well then you can fight
I'd fight it I'd be like you asked me to
draw man that's how I perceive man
yeah but then already you're getting
into the you're making the art class
into something more than what it has to
be I'd like to think the art teacher
would be thankful because clearly they
wanted to be in the art world and now
they're just like me I wanted to like do cool stuff but I still was a teacher so you know here we are
did you know any art teachers when you were a teacher no oh no my school didn't even have an
art class oh yeah oh no I was at a public school dude we had no art classes no music no nothing which is weird because
when I was in school in the late 90s we had all that stuff and then by the time
I came back to Ohio in 2008 gone all of it hey yeah crazy I had I had art but it
was the English teacher so she was like half art, half English teacher.
So she just did both. So I think that's how they kept stuff around, was they had teachers do multiple subjects.
Sure, I mean just like most high school history social studies teachers are the football coach or the wrestling coach yeah yeah yeah so stuff like that in fact English English was a weird because
it would like very sometimes I do well sometimes I do bad it depends it
depended on what we were doing and who the teacher was so like we'd have to
read stuff it would always depend on if I enjoyed reading it so some things I do
really well on except be like yo this is really good and I enjoyed it and then
others I was like I don't care and then I would do bad then there'd be like
writing assignments and grammar and all that sometimes I would just do bad and
then other times it really depended on the teacher honestly yeah for me English
was sort of hit-and-miss I had a lot of English classes that I did grade in
and I had a few that I was terrible at.
I'm gonna let you know what I was good in history, I'm sorry in English.
This is how you knew if I was gonna be good.
Was the teacher hot?
If she was hot, I was working my ass off.
I don't know what it was, but like hot English teachers did it for me in high school.
The entirety of your grade depended on the attractiveness
of the people.
One hon dude, ninth grade English teacher was so hot,
plus she was like, I'm gonna say 22.
So in my high school mind, dude, I was like,
I could get in there though, I could.
But no, of course not.
So I really busted my ass and tried hard for her.
That was the highest A I've ever gotten in an English class.
But history, I always did well in history.
That was never a problem for me.
Social studies, that was pretty easy.
But my oh my, science, yeah, I could not do science to save my life.
Only earth sciences was I good at.
And math, after eighth grade math, I fully checked out.
I was, there's a reason I was voted class clown
of my high school, because I did not part,
I was a bad student for math teachers.
Thank God for the TI-85,
because I think they just let me sit in the corner
and play on my calculator and like
do drug wars and snake and all that. I was like, I was gone. And it was rough because they very
clearly had given up on me too. Like it wasn't like they tried to get me to pay attention.
They just didn't bother. And because they didn't bother and I certainly wasn't, you know, I was
the kid who was like, why do I need to know this this what the hell doesn't I have to do with me?
That was me doing taxes or exchanging currency like this is the kind of math
That's gonna get me to the moon, but that's not who I am so what the hell do I care?
And they would just be like well
I learned it so you got to learn it or like this is what we're learning so it just it is what it is
And it's like this is dumb the best was. So it just, it is what it is. And it's like, this is dumb.
The best was when they would be like,
what are you gonna have a calculator in your pocket?
And I'd stand up and put the TI-85 in my pocket
and be like, yeah.
And now it's your phone, like even more useful.
Yeah.
I'm like, y'all didn't plan this at all.
Yeah.
It's, yeah dude, math was definitely the word I remember
in grade school yeah once it like I think seventh grade once they started
doing algebra I was I fell off the cliff and it was I remember eighth grade we
had like smart algebra kid math and then we had dumb kid math and I went I was
okay oh yeah yeah I was in dumb kid. And it was like all of the
class clown kids and like yes it was so fun. I remember the teacher was like alright if we do
well in this so I got some candy in my office then she sent me and this one kid to go get the candy
but we were just like yo look over here. We were just like scouting around and then came back and then everyone's like, woo. Then like the actual algebra class, they were just doing math like losers.
Yeah, I knew it wasn't for me math in general
when I, and I've said this story before,
but it's so completely apt for this.
My parents really tried to make me do like the AP classes
to, you know, they wanted a good future for me.
And if you have all those brains, you know, back when everyone thought college could really help you get
ahead in life. Right. And not just put you in debt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Back in a time
when people thought it could really help my parents like we got to the AP things and do
this. And I remember one year and I'm over seventh grade or eighth grade, but it was
the last math class where I realized effort F it, this isn't for me.
When I got an assignment, I didn't understand it,
I took it home, my parents and I sat down all night
at the kitchen table and did it together.
And my parents were like, oh, this is how you do this
and this and this, and I was like, okay, cool.
And I got it back and I got an F.
And I realized my parents didn't know, I didn't know, and we were doing just fine.
There was nothing about our life that said because we didn't have this math, we were
screwed. And from that point on, I think mentally I checked out. And to this day, I always remember
my parents helped me and I failed. So that was, I think, a divination line or whatever.
From past Jesse to future Jesse that made me realize oh
One my parents aren't perfect and two math sucks ass so screw it
Yeah, like the only math you need to know is like
Your taxes and even then you just pay someone
Just give them all your shit, and if you can't there's plenty of free apps online
Oh, yeah government has a thing you could just fill out the information Just give them all your shit. And if you can't, there's plenty of free apps online.
Even if the government has a thing,
you can just fill out the information
and it will do the math for you.
I will say, in college, one of the few things that I took
that I really, really liked was economics.
Macroeconomics, microeconomics,
understanding how things run and how things are paid for
and understanding the stock market.
Once you learn it's just gambling, but sanctioned gambling, understanding how things run and how things are paid for and understanding the stock market.
Once you learn it's just gambling, but like sanctioned gambling, then everything makes
so much more sense.
And economics like, oh, okay.
Yeah, I get microeconomics.
I get, you know, handing money to a store.
I get macroeconomics like governments spending money and buying things and trading things
and tariffs.
Once you understand that, you kind of get it. And from that point on, it's really unnecessary
to learn math that suddenly involves numbers and letters
or equations and things.
Like, yeah, okay, finding what X is can be helpful,
but you're never gonna need it on a daily basis.
Yeah, it's for the people that are going into
the smart jobs, which is like cool. Yeah, and bless you, you're gonna save the world. Yeah, it's for the people that are going into the smart jobs.
Yeah, and bless you.
You're going to save the world.
Yeah, we were counting on you.
Yeah, so I just never good at math.
I failed math, I think, like three times.
It would just suck.
And then finally, once I was in community college
and I did bad at math again, I was like,
what if I just don't do this?
And I was like, yeah, that sounds good.
Let's just stop.
I mean, that's what college is,
is figuring out how to cheese everything
that they require of you.
Because when you go to college,
there's your major, and you have the classes for your major.
But also, there's several other gen ed classes
you have to take.
And the way that I did it was just like, okay, I need two math classes.
Eff it, I'm going to take economics.
And then it would be like, you need a bunch of English classes.
And I was like, all right, well, what's the closest I can get to a history level class
that's English? And I found one that was about Vietnam.
I was like, great, easy. Uh,
just doing that. Um, doing things like I had to take one. Uh,
Oh God, I'm trying to think of what the requirement was,
but the class I chose was straight up a woodworking class.
Just in the workshop. It was just to fill a thing. And I think in the end,
I ended up making a birdhouse that sucked. I still
got an A. Most of the class, to be honest, we watched old episodes of Voltron. There
was a TV in the room and all the dude bros who were in there were like somehow very into
old anime. So they'd be like, yo, you seen Ninja Scroll, dude? I'm like, what? What is
happening? They'd be like, dude, we just got copies of all the original seasons of Voltron, dude
You want to watch? And I was like, okay, and we just sat in there and pretended to sand stuff while I watched
Voltron. It was a great class. I loved that class. Shout out to that teacher. He was never there
I don't even remember who the guy was
Got an A though
That reminds me in high school
They were like you can take a language and I remember I
took a language and it was like Spanish
and after one week I was like I'm gonna
fail this so I dropped it and they're
like I mean you can take a different
class that gives you the same thing but
it's like not a language class it was a
it was like sports marketing or like a
typing class and or like a typing class
and or like a computer class.
And so for the next two years, for the languages we needed,
I took those two classes, got A's in both
and sports marketing actually still,
it taught me how commercials run,
which was actually interesting.
It taught me that if you watch commercials,
that'll start right after the show ends,
they'll play the like national national commercials like Coca-Cola and they'll play their shitty AI Coke ad and they'll
play Amazon's commercial where it's another shitty commercial where it's like, what the
world needs?
And I hate that ad.
And then it'll start playing more local ads and once it starts playing the local ads,
that's when you know that your TV show's about to come back on.
And they would always save the local ads for last right before the show came back.
So I'd be like, oh, that's pretty cool.
So whenever I'd watch like sports or something, I'd be like, are they on the local ads?
They'd be like tonight on Fox, watch your Simpsons episode as we catch up.
And I'd be like, oh, yeah, it's coming back.
I'm really curious about how they do it on the back end
when it comes to the national versus local,
because sometimes you'll see a commercial
either about to start or end,
and then another commercial cuts it off.
And it's a local one.
So it's very clearly a placeholder maybe? I don't know. Like sometimes,
for example, if you listen to or watch a video feed of let's say a cable news show, right?
For the elections, I don't have cable anymore, so this past election I watched it all online.
And the online stuff, when they go to commercial they didn't play
commercials it was literally just a screen that had the logo of the channel
and then like and maybe it would play eventually before it would come back on
three or four ads for shows on that channel so So it'd be like, TuneIn Tonight is Jack Jackman,
interviews AOC about hot dogs, right?
And like that, those would be the ads.
And if you watch it live on TV,
you don't ever see those.
So I wonder if that's for the broadcasters,
if it's for the station,
it's for local stations to sync up to bring,
I don't know, but I've always been curious about that.
One aspect of it,
there's just extra stuff happening in the background
and we only see part of it
because there's a national broadcast
and then local stuff comes in whenever they can fit it in.
I just don't know the ins and outs of how that works.
Yeah, I don't know either.
It's actually pretty interesting how it's all structured,
but yeah, that was the main thing I remembered.
I was like, that's pretty cool.
And then we also had a thing where we had to invent
our own sports thing and somebody had the idea
for like the stat bat and then they settled
on something else.
So me and my friends stole their idea and made the stat bat and they gave us an A
and they were like, they took our idea and we were like, you didn't even use it.
Then the teacher was like, hey, he's got a point.
And I know that I think they did some like shitty toilet paper thing
and it did worse than the stat bat.
That's marketing 101. You guys are stupid.
Yeah, you got to steal. So that was cool. Yeah,
pretty much just you had to do anything to avoid doing real work, which, oh my god, that
reminds me, I've told this story before, but in college, community college of course, I
had that one English class, It was like English 102. Because
English 101 I really liked. I had like a cool teacher. He was an actual author. I actually
tried his class. I got like an A and he was like, you're a pretty good writer. And I was
like, this is awesome. And I was like, English 102 will be fun. And it was this woman that
gave us like a syllabus. It was like 200 pages thick. And she's like, in this class, we're
going to work hard. And I was like, oh, sucks Drop that went to the guy who was like a part-time bartender
Part-time teacher and he just let us play soccer in class
We like turned all the desks the desks like up and then he said America was too fat
Which is why he made us play soccer in class
Just he gave us play soccer in class.
He gave us the least amount of work possible because he didn't want to do work himself.
And I got an A in that class.
You know what's so funny is I can almost hear someone say,
why pay for college if you're not gonna work hard
and get your degree?
And I just want to say,
unless you're doing engineering or something like a top
end where you're definitely going to get a job and you need to know the
information,
I will go and die on this Hill that I think the vast majority of people
get a college diploma or go to college
because they're told it's what you need to do, not because they want to be there. And
so most people don't give a damn about getting knowledge or whatever. They just want the
A's so they can say, I got a bunch of A's and graduated college, now I'm going to go
get my job. Because we've been told for years and years and years that going to college gets you a better job. And right now that's just not
the case. Unless again, you're doing something top end where they require you to have, you
know, a knowledge base that is far beyond what you and I have. Like, uh, like a doctor
or a pharmacist or like someone building houses or something. Yeah, exactly. Like a lawyer
or someone who you know you have
that fundamental knowledge of things yeah right because that's the problem
like everybody goes and they're just like I'll just get a degree in whatever
as an omics and then you're like hold on my degree in as an omics isn't useful
or like everybody else got as an omics degrees there can only be asked there
can only be so many as an omicis. I can't at all complain about other people and what they do at college.
I literally went to school, higher education, for theater and history.
I double majored in two of the most useless things ever.
Ever!
It doesn't, I went, there's no reason to go to a college to do theater.
You can learn that in the damn streets.
You could learn that in the streets.
You could be like George Washington in a play.
I mean that's very true, I could.
But oh man, going back to what you're saying about your teacher having written a book,
I always wonder about what the standard is for hiring a higher ed teacher because I think it's very funny to me that my one of my more impressive
theater teachers we loved him because he was once in a Burger King commercial and we thought that
was the coolest and we were like he knows how to act because he was in a Burger King commercial. And he's like, help me buy my first truck. And we were
like, wow, incredible. Looking back, I'm like, that's what our, that was our line of like,
all the other teachers trash. That guy, he was in a commercial. That's where we were
mentally. And I'm like, that's stupid. What are we thinking?
I mean, yeah, just because you wrote a book as well
as I mean it like did well or it was good,
like anybody can kind of just write a book.
So we just assumed like, hey, it must have been good.
You wrote it and he's teaching, so.
Yeah, yeah, we were just like, oh damn.
Like there was one person, I can't remember what her name,
I think Maria might've been her name,
she was a professor, loved her,
also worked very hard for her,
again, she was incredibly attractive.
And so I just worked so hard.
And I remember her being like,
we should keep in touch when you go off
and find yourself and become like,
and you're like amazing, and I was like, thanks for believing in me
I'm gonna try my hardest to be sub-what
you know like that kind of thing
years later she messages me
she's like, I saw you're on YouTube
I'm so proud of you, you're living the dream
mind you, this wasn't
you know, last year or the year before
it wasn't any of that
this was 2012, Jessie who was
not making a damn suck
Barely making a cent doing dumb videos where I'm like I'm a goblin and look at that ass
Little embarrassed I was like oh no
All that work, and this is what I'm doing literally just be like I'm driving around as a goblin
And I'm smooching on goblin girls.
Yeah.
That was the...
Go back.
Look at my first videos.
I'm pretty sure my first video is straight up a sex joke in the first two minutes.
As opposed to now where it's in the first ten minutes.
Yeah, for algorithm reasons.
I don't want to get flagged.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, those were the building blocks though.
They helped get you to where you are today.
Sure, it's just funny that that was the moment
she discovered me.
It was like, you're doing it, Jesse!
Because it had been years.
I hadn't seen her since 2007.
So, and when I started doing that,
it was 2011, 2012.
And so for her, it was like, you did, you her it was like you did you made it I'm
like oh boy but that's that's a weird thing I can think about all my old
friends who I thought man they're gonna be famous someday they're gonna do
something every single one of them has dropped off the face of the earth they
could be dead for all I know I haven't heard from a one of them high school
friends I hear from every once in a while,
but my college friends, except for one girl,
who is the girl who definitely told me
after we left college, she was like,
you know if you would just ask me out,
I would have gone out with you.
I'm like, what?
That happens to me all the time,
and honestly it pisses me off.
I do not like when people are like,
if you would have just said something, you say something.
How am I to know?
Anyway, yeah, that's the only other person I know. Everyone else, every other
friend I have from college, I don't know where the hell they're at. They vanished. I thought for sure
they're gonna be famous or do a thing or whatever. Nope, I think they got taken out by the mob. I
don't know what the hell's going on. I haven't heard from one of them. Yeah, there's only like a
What the hell's going on? I haven't heard from one of them. Yeah, there's only like a small handful of people I even still know from just grade school, high school, just everything combined.
Like it's just like a couple people. I know there's like a couple friends I had that went to different schools and stuff, but like yeah, it's...
Sure.
I mean that's like anybody. I think everybody kind of drifts apart over time and you meet people in
Workplaces and everything. Yeah, I mean it's weird that it's for me. I somehow can keep track of most of the high school friends that I had
There's one guy who I loved who I thought was like one of my best friends
Dude was the first of us to get married and after you got married he vanished
I'm pretty sure his wife said you can you have to stop hanging out with those guys.
Oh yeah, probably.
Because like he ceased to exist.
He moved out of the city.
This is what I was still teaching too.
He moved out of the city and then we never heard from again.
I don't know what the, meanwhile,
I got other friends who will talk, you know,
every other week and be like, yo, what's up, dude? Oh, not much. By the way, because I know my mom is probably
listening, when I say talk, I mean guy talk. I don't mean, hey, what's going on?
How's your life? How's it going? What's going on with the kids? I mean, yo, you good?
Yeah, dude. All right, cool, cool. That's it. That's the conversation.
There is definitely a difference. I know like I'll hang out with even my warhammer friends or something then toaster one will be like so what did a
What did that friend think about this? I'm like I don't know and she's like didn't you say he like just went on a trip
And did this thing I mean yeah, and she's like did you ask about it? I'm like no
She's like what I'm like yeah, I don't know I was just like going to trip and he's like yeah
I was like oh, I don't know I was just like going to trip and he's like yeah, I was like oh, that's cool
That's all it's needed. That's the only information. We need is are you are you okay now cool?
The rest of the time I'm not gonna ask you you're clearly doing fine
You would just want a vacation you don't need me to bug you about that if you had something to tell you would tell me
That's what I thought I'm like if they want to talk about it. They'll talk about it
Well, yeah, yeah, because. But otherwise, I'm like, yeah.
Cause most of the time it's like,
if somebody wants to bring something up,
they'll bring it up.
If they're really, cause otherwise they're just like,
they're just trying to forget, chill out, you know, whatever.
Honestly, that's what it is.
I think there's a lot of misconception
about guys' conversations.
And it's not that we don't wanna share things,
it's that we know what to share and what not to share
and burden friends with,
because it's like, dude, I got so much shit going on already.
I don't need you to worry about me.
Like, that's the vibe.
And then it's like, yo, you good?
Cool, cool, cool.
All right, you wanna get a beer?
All right, cool.
Like, that's it.
I'm gonna turn my brain off. I'm gonna hang with my friends on that's why most guys just like hanging out and if anyone asks you what you guys do
What happened and you just say we just sat around and hung out and like watch TV or whatever. It's pure
It's an excuse to just purely
Hang out and shut your brain off and be a... I read an article today that
said men don't reach full emotional maturity until 43. That definitely
checks out. And it checks out and it said something like women are 32 I think or
maybe 33 something like that and so it purely checks out that just sometimes
guys like to get together and be like pure cavemen like oh eat chicken wing watch TV like that's
it I don't need anything else I'll be
good yeah it's a you know it could go
it can go the opposite way where
somebody's too closed off they don't
tell anybody anything and then they're
you know going insane in the inside sure
but I think a good healthy friendship is
when that guy's like bros I think a good healthy friendship is when that guy's like, bros, I had a rough day, man.
Watch the friends.
If any friend in my friend group is like,
I've been having a rough, dudes will rally around him
like we are fending off from attack.
We'll be like, what do you need, bro?
Who I gotta take out?
What's going on?
Like, talk to me, dude.
Like that's, it will happen. We me dude like that's it is it will
happen will be like okay I got you what do we got to do yeah no I I agree I
think it's uh that reminds me I've been watching I was watching this I think
it's called diary of a CEO YouTube channel there's a lot of those you might
have seen it it's this British dude who interviews like
a whole bunch of people and he was interviewing this one woman
from a few months ago about body language.
It was really interesting.
Like the amount of things that body language tells you just from like
a hand gesture perspective.
Like when people wave at each other as a greeting, like,
hey, how's it going? It's showing you, like, hey, I'm unarmed, I'm, like, safe.
Like, it goes back to caveman days.
Or, uh, you know, things like,
if somebody squints their eyes when you say something,
it means, like, oh, they're kind of, like, questioning it.
Like, they're, like, uh?
And so she's like, whenever I see somebody do that, like, uh, I was like, ask them, like, does everybody understand and look right at them
and be like, yeah. Uh, I mean, it was like, she goes over like a billion different things,
but it was really interesting to the point where like she talked about Ted talks and how the most
popular Ted talks have like 470 hand gestures and body movements while the least popular ones are only at like
200. So people just like body language and hand movements. Which makes sense.
Yeah, people enjoy, I don't want to say they enjoy body language, but when-
It's like visual.
Yeah, I think it's because when you're using your hands more,
it's a sign that you're more relaxed.
Like, you're not going to see people who are stressed out
or people who are trying to get one over on you
or lie to you or whatever flail on their arms about.
It's a relaxed sign.
People who are standing still
and their arms are at their sides,
there's something creepy about it to the point where when you're in
theater, wow, my theater training really paying off. Um,
they always say when you're on stage and you're performing that
unless it's a requirement of your character hands at sides
and it always feels unnatural and weird Because that's not how most people,
even right now as I'm talking to you, my hands are moving. It's just not how people do stuff.
But when you look at a figure or you see someone on stage or in a movie, like look how often they
move their hands versus when they're walking and talking or they're standing and their hands are at their sides. Yeah it's like it's one of those things where
you don't really notice it until you do notice it. Yeah. It was really
interesting it's from it's called Body Language Expert Diary of a CEO
channel from Vanessa Van Edwards that's her name so if you care at all about
this the stuff like that go check that out it's pretty name. So if you care at all about the stuff like that,
go check that out, it's pretty cool.
There's a-
I gotta be honest, not where I thought we were gonna go
with a YouTube channel called Diary of a CEO.
I was about to be like, how worried are they?
And can we make them more worried?
Yeah, no, it's not like that.
Damn, all right, well.
She even mentioned one interesting thing was like,
eye contact, she's like everywhere you hear with like how to get more social and be more normal
and social situations is they're like make eye contact.
But if you make too much eye contact, it's creepy.
Right. And so they said the right amount of eye contact was like 70 percent.
So like when you're talking to somebody, usually you're naturally like looking up.
Like that's how your brain like
processes information or gathers it like hard drive searches is when you like kind of look up and you're just like oh yeah
What was that thing I was thinking about and so that sure?
Something that I guess people have like hardwired into them like oh, yeah, they're searching for information
They're blah blah instead of just staring them down like do you see? It's like a weird intimidation thing.
Even right now when I'm using my hands, I realize that even with voice acting,
all the time I'm always like hand movements.
Well I mean that's if you watch a very good voice actor or just an actor who's in the booth doing voices,
you'll see them constantly moving. Right, it's about, you know,
it's the same thing as if you can hear a smile
in someone's voice.
When you hear someone talk to you and it's only audio,
but you can hear the smile as they talk.
That's why a lot of voice actors,
when they do commercials that like,
at Cool Kid Farms,
we love when you come and eat our Cool Kid platter.
You can hear them selling it to you with a smile
that they definitely, if you were watching them in the booth,
they have a smile on their face while they're saying it
because it comes across somehow, in some way,
I don't know why, but I guess it's because they're doing it
and the physicality of it transfers into the
voice who knows yeah yeah it's you can it's just like it feels natural when you're doing it like
that too even like old awkward crendor I feel like I never did any hand things but I was always like
I'm not gonna do that because that's kind of cringe you know it was like how I used to be when
really not doing it made it extremely awkward and cringy so by thinking I was
cringy I was being cringy to me you never were like that but I think you
were already just a goofy charismatic person so it wasn't as awkward as I mean
I think I lucked out yeah I think because I done stuff again,
I started this at 29. Right. So I wasn't like a fresh out of high school kid who
was going to try a thing. I had been doing radio stuff before. Uh, I,
obviously I had done theater in high school and for four years in college. I,
you know, it's a, so performing. That's why I like live shows and stuff. Uh,
despite my mom saying, and I quote, it took a while performing. That's why I like live shows and stuff despite my mom saying and I quote
Took a while to get going
I'm gonna give her such a hard time for that. I like areas maybe laugh very hard
But um yeah, I guess it's all part of it's built into who I am
Yeah, it's
And a lot of it is just learned like I'm under
the impression that like you can kind of learn most thing like being social how to like you know
not be awkward like just when you learn socialization skills and you mature and just it's like anything
like you learn like how to properly interact with people and how to
like listen and how to respond.
Like some people just don't learn that and you can kind of pick up on it pretty quickly.
Yeah, yeah.
Especially, I mean, you go back and just watch like 2010 Crendor BlizzCon.
Like my God, it's, I can't't do it you don't need to go back
and suffer through that to be honest all you need to do is go watch any and I'm
gonna you know what I'm gonna put them on blast because I think it's you know
they're very popular and to be honest I don't think they care what I have to say
right but um go watch any of the OTK big award shows they do, or the games shows that they do
where they host stuff.
And it is so obvious the scale of talent
that they have within OTK of who is a streamer
and who is an entertainer.
And there are many people in their roster of people
who when they get on camera,
shut down as human beings and look super cringe.
And there are other people who sparkle and shine.
And it is clearly what they're meant to do.
And when you combine them together in a live platform,
it is so noticeable which ones are not ready for prime time.
Yeah, no you can...
You can definitely pick up on those...
Those vibes. I mean...
They probably are more like how I used to be.
Back in the day where I remember I got interviewed by Trade Chat.
And she was just like,
So you're here at BlizzCon, what's your favorite game?
And I was just, I could have...
Like modern day I would have been like...
You know, I like WoW. But you know, I've been checking everything out. But back then I was like my favorite game is Diablo
I am kidding. It's World of Warcraft
Okay, that's that's enough watching old me for today
You know what? I realized there is an alternate reality where you could have taken that to the bank and become like the video game Nard war
that's true I would have fully embraced loved that readings everyone I am here
again with informative information I want you to interview people and I want
you to surprise them with gifts and way too much information. Yeah, just info dump on all of them.
Yeah, and if people don't know who Nardwar is at
home, just google Nardwar. He's a
Canadian legend and a true gem.
Big fan.
Oh my god, this doesn't really relate to
what we're talking about. It kind of does,
but we brought up like information and
news and I was on stream the other day
we were talking about the Switch 2 and I was like, didn't I just talk about how it's going to come out pretty news and I was on stream the other day we're talking about the switch 2 and I was like didn't I just talk about how it's gonna come out
pretty soon and I started looking it up and I found a website and I swear to God
this is the most AI shit that I've ever seen and I was like it's just it's
scraping reddit and writing articles off like random reddit posts and it's actually terrible so
the article I found is called Nintendo switch 2's official name is being
roasted by tired fans and then they're just like this can clearly be seen over
on Reddit after and then they just start sharing all of these Reddit comments and
the reason here's the thing that made me realize
it was AI number one it was like okay it's getting a bunch of reddit posts so it's probably
just you know taking all this shit and posting it but it said the top comment under the post
says simply i'm going insane to illustrate just how ludicrous these leaked claims are
becoming switch to a joke's another user which genuinely made me choke
on my own breath as I laughed and I stopped right there. I was like, number one, I don't
think I've ever laughed hard enough to choke on my own breath and I would never laugh that
hard at SwitchToA and no human being should. and so instantaneously I was like this is AI
and I'm pretty sure it is because every other article they've posted is just Reddit stuff.
Yeah that's a big problem across all video game news right now especially AI grabbing stuff. The
one that I remember being a real big fan of was from 2023, which was Glorbo from World of Warcraft.
So much was I a fan that when Wally did its 2023 year in review, they used footage of me talking about Glorbo.
Do you remember this?
I kinda do remember Glorbo.
Like they made like a fake reddit post about Glorbo being broken.
And it was like, Glorbo is ruining World of Warcraft.
And then a bunch of news sites picked up on Glorbo,
which is a nothing.
Yeah, I remember that now.
Glorbo's nothing, and everyone was laughing their ass off
because they did it on purpose.
They were like, AI skimming, let's create content
that messes with it.
So then that spun off into Glorbo appearing in other games,
like Destiny 2, I believe they had a Glorbo's
ruining the game, Destiny 2.
They had a bunch of other Glorbo things.
And I love that they kept getting picked up till finally it was very clear
that whoever was using the AI just took out the word Glorbo so it wouldn't pick
up Glorbo anymore but that was so funny. Yeah it's, god I hate the amount, it's like that
Coca-Cola commercial where it's just all AI. There's like other commercials like
that and they look so ass.
I just I hate them. And then there's the non AI ones like the Amazon janitor one. That one sucks.
Garbage. What? Amazon janitor? You haven't seen the Amazon janitor? Oh my god. Dude, I don't have cable anymore. I have not watched TV in like seven months. I realize I only see these because I watch sports.
So I have to like. Sure, sure, sure. So it's a janitor and he's mopping up and I guess he used to like sing at the venue or something. And then he's mopping and he's singing like what the world.
Alright, that makes sense for what you're saying earlier. Okay.
like you know what we're gonna get him a jacket so they get him a jacket like he's a singer or how he used to sing and they're just like go up on stage and
then all the people working there sitting there watching him
and he's just singing like what world so he's like getting to do what he used to
do and then that's it so all I got from that commercial was number one he got
to relive his glory and it's like all right now go back to mopping the floors yeah keep mopping the floors idiot yeah and
then I was like number two what happened like was he just really good and then he
just stopped like why why what brought him down like if you're that good and
you're you know putting on big acts and stuff and you just the people to stop
caring like I have so many questions.
And then number three, Amazon singing about the world needing love was, I think, the most ironic part.
Yeah, that's really stupid.
When I think of Amazon, I think of loving the world.
So yeah, it's a terrible commercial. If you haven't seen it, and you want to get really mad at nothing, go check it out.
It sucks.
I'm trying to remember... I feel like this is Amazon's way of trying to do that thing that...
What is the name of that British store?
There's a very famous British store that every year for Christmas does like the
ridiculously sappy two and a half minute long commercial about like, you know, love at the
holidays or whatever. And they've done it every year for so many years and they always
do it every time. And I wonder if American companies are now trying to do the same thing, except I don't know what the relationship with
that store and the UK is
versus the relationship between American stores and American consumers because I'm gonna let you know
Never have I once
Been conned into being like wow
They made me feel something. I am gonna buy something from them.
Like, Coke has been doing that for years
and I don't give a damn.
I'm like, wow, that really, that polar bear
and his polar bear kids certainly sold me on Coke, right?
Or the Clydesdales for Budweiser.
I'm like, wow, those horses got, like that doesn't happen.
So when they try to do something like Amazon's doing like it's about the emotion of our ad
Like nah, dude, you guys suck. Yeah
No, it's and I think the worst part is you know that it's not genuine, right?
Like right now they sat in a boardroom and they're like, how can we emotionally?
Get like vulnerability out of people so they buy our products. You know they just sat around thinking that.
It's like it'd be, they'd probably really like it if a guy used to sing.
He went up on stage and talked about love.
They're like, yeah, that sounds good.
Throw that shit up there.
Now how do we cut Christmas bonuses?
Yeah, and that's the same thing with every other time they try to do anything.
Be it, you know, like doing sales on holidays or doing, like even
Black Friday as a concept is kind of dead. People are like, nah, I'm alright. One of
the funnier ones is all the online presence and all the marketing stuff around Pride Month,
right? It's during the summer and all of a sudden, rainbow everything, and then the minute it hits July 1,
it's gone, just gone.
It's like, we all saw through what you were doing.
That wasn't a sincere attempt to be like,
we celebrate all people.
It's like, no, no, no, you just wanted some money.
Yeah, no, they always want money.
That's the key.
That's the same as all those drug ads
They're like you could play in the backyard with your kid. You can go canoeing down a river
Like it's always the same with all those ads you like play with your dog in the backyard as
They read off the list of like may cause diarrhea may cause
Hair loss is go may cause hallucinations of dog in backyard.
I hate it, I hate that they do that stuff.
It's more reason why people hate ads and advertisers.
Yeah, I feel like there was a time,
and it's probably a 60s, 70s,
where advertising figured out how to manipulate really well.
Like they got in on the manipulation train.
They're like, yo.
What was that like when people figured out psychology?
Cause it goes hand in hand.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, they're like, oh, people like this.
And they like this thing.
Mad Men is a great example.
If you just watch any of that show,
you can see how they're like,
we figured out a way to manipulate people
to get them to buy things.
And I feel like the 80s was kind of the peak of that,
and then the 90s was the burning end of it,
and then when we hit the year 2000 and beyond,
people just kind of like slowly realized,
wait a minute, you're trying to manipulate me
to buy your product.
And from that point on, it doesn't work anymore like I am on ads do not faze me
The only thing that fazes me is the realization that they bump the volume 50% for ads
No, yeah, I hate that. That's that makes you so mad. I don't think you're it is it is now
But for a while that was the I mean, the more modern version is,
you're trying to watch a video on the internet,
and the video barely plays at a reasonable,
you know, it's like barely 720 or whatever,
but the ad is 4K and plays just fine.
Yeah.
And you're like, wait a minute minute so you're not giving me the
bandwidth for the video I want to watch but you'll definitely give me the
bandwidth for the deodorant commercial I just had to sit through cool yeah what
was oh I want to bring up one more thing completely unrelated to everything oh
boy so I was gonna bring it up earlier. It fit into like my English storytelling stuff.
But then we swapped off. So now I'm returning.
There is no
reason or rhyme to this show, so I don't care. So we know from weeks past about my dislike of arcane.
All right, that's not what this is about.
Yeah, yeah, you're still on this, huh?
That's not what this is about.
Okay?
And we know that I'm more of the gamer person that plays like Bloodball and RNG and Kaizo
and you're more of like the story driven person.
That's true.
Right?
Yeah.
But I get a lot of people that are like, well, Krendor just hates lore.
But I don't hate lore.
And I think I was trying to piece together what I like in stories. people that are like well Krendor just hates lore but I don't hate lore and I
was trying to piece together what I like in stories because I've read books that
I like I've watched movies and you know seen stories there's like certain games
I've played where I like the story and so I was trying to figure out what do I
like in stories that you don't or you still might like the stories, but what makes me
like interested in a story?
And I think it's primarily the world building.
And I think because the reason I like that is because whenever I play games, even
like open world, like Zelda or Elden Ring or all these things, my favorite part
was just like running around and just finding stuff. And I'm just like, whoa, this is cool. Like an Elden Ring. all these things. My favorite part was just like running around and just finding stuff.
And I'm just like, whoa, this is cool. Like in Elden Ring, that's all I did. I'll just run around and be like, whoa, what's that?
This is cool. Whoa, what's that? But I never cared about the main story.
And so I was trying to
see if you could piece together what type of
I don't know, story enjoyer that is.
There must be what type of, I don't know, story enjoyer that is.
There must be some name for it or a term for it.
Because yeah, the concept of running around discovering things I think connects to
because if you're anything like me
during original World of Warcraft,
like 1.0 back in the day, there wasn't a
damn story to that game, barely a story.
But the story was, I played through World of Warcraft 1, 2, and 3, I have heard of the
places they talk about, I did the Calling of Stratholme and oh my god I'm going to go there now or I'm going to sneak
into Mount Hyjal and I'm going to go to the area the devs blocked off and I'm going to break in and
we're going to see the giant skeleton of like oh what's his face that got blown up by wisps and
that was that was what the story of World of Warcraft was back in the day.
Then they added Story Story, which I loved,
but that didn't come until the second expansion.
Like the first expansion was cool,
but it was just another version of,
hey, we are going to let you explore stuff and see things.
And any real story stuff,
you had to have done the high-end raids,
which most people we know don't do.
It was about exploration.
There must be a name for that.
There must be something behind that because I have that too, but I just like knowing the
reasoning.
So for example, if we had snuck into Mount Hyjal again and we found a giant skeleton
on a tree, I would have been like, what the hell does that mean?
But because I played the other games games I know exactly what that is.
And so I was like oh that's a cool payoff, I love that.
Versus I'm exploring and I saw something weird.
Like you, I think you like for example Elden Ring,
you turn a corner and there's a crazy vista
and you have no clue what you're looking at
but it's really cool looking
and you're gonna walk into it and keep going.
You're very Lewis and Clark and keep going. You're
very Lewis and Clarky that way. It isn't that you knew where you were going, you just went
because it looked neat and you're like, what's over there? How's that work? What's that thing?
Me, I would look at that and be like, all right, that's clearly the tower of Morgoth
and over there, that, right? And I'd be like, and that's all, that's how that's connected
to that. Oh, I can't believe they're doing this like that's what I would come at it from
Mm-hmm. Yeah, and that's what I was thinking there has to be a name for that. I just don't know what it is
Yeah, I don't know what it is either. That's why I was I figured you would but I guess you don't
Somebody in the comments has to know is yeah
I'm sure someone who isn't doing a podcast and has time to Google right now could easily fight it for us
Yeah, cuz I mean even when I play other they like Warhammer for example
I don't want to learn all about the goblins, but I like knowing of little things about their culture and
Like I'm like all the squig hoppers
When they become boing rot bounders, which is when they put night armor on they become that because they survived as a squig hopper which normally you die
and so they kind of get full of themselves and they're like yeah I'm
really cool I'm a knight and they put on night armor and so they become like an
advanced form so I'm like that's pretty cool but like I don't need to know more
than that I don't need to know like a specific squig hopper story I don't need
to know anything I'm just like no that's pretty cool so I don't need to know like a specific Squighopper story. I don't need to know anything. I'm just like, yo, that's pretty cool. So I think it's more
of like a instead of a zoomed in heavy character dialogue perspective, I enjoy
more of the zoomed out kind of worldly perspective of all these little stories
occurring all over. Yeah, I absolutely understand. I just don't know what that's
called. I'm sure it has a name. Yeah so
somebody that knows that tell us. Yep yeah
that's all. Well speaking of crapping on
ads and I don't know I'm trying to think
of a segue here
that can cover up the fact that we've been
really against ads and commercials today.

Alright let's go to Travis Gershwin the guy with the quendor how's that traffic out there?
Oh man let me tell you traffic's actually not as bad everybody's heading back home or
they've gone back home and the holidays are calming down.
Thank god because there it is it was non-stop for a while with holiday stuff.
I'm extremely happy to just get back to nothing happening.
I don't know about you, but I'm very excited.
So, here's to nothing. Back to you.
Alright, let's go to weather.
Weather!
By the way, did you see? I linked you a full-on Cox and Crenn door weather tour. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo have... wow, we've covered quite a bit. I'm impressed with us. It's also very funny
there's some places like we have not touched Western Australia at all.
We haven't touched Greenland. Yeah, Greenland for some reason? Nothing. We've been to Iceland, we've been to the middle of nowhere,
northern Atlantic. We've done a lot of places, but for some reason yeah, we have not done Greenland who knew
We've been everywhere in Canada. We don't British Columbia
Looks like we've done the borders we haven't really done oh
Yeah, we haven't done Vancouver. Yeah, we haven't done British Columbia or at least far as you can tell Quebec. Oh, yeah
We've done New Brunswick We haven't done British Columbia or at least as far as you can tell Quebec. Oh, yeah, or I guess
We've done New Brunswick But we've never yeah, there's a look at this year. Mish Micalone
It's crazy. We've done Antarctica. We've been all over the place. Yeah, give us some give us some British Columbia Quebec Newfoundland
Newfoundland you said it like you just landed there now. This is I declare this newfound land newfound land you said it like you just landed there now this is
I declare this newfound land we haven't done Cuba we haven't done how is there

move it move it we don't have that we don't got those nothing in Iran no
Afghanistan yeah oh my goodness some reason Mongolia we got it Mongolia is
good yeah we got Mongolia also China yeah've gotten Nepal, but nowhere in China.
No one's been like, we want to know
what's going on in Hong Kong.
Not a once.
Yeah.
I want to know what's going on in Hong Kong.
I would love to visit Hong Kong.
I feel like you would go anywhere.
True, true, true, true, true.
Well, there's some places that are very war torn,
and I know I'd be shot immediately so I'm not going there.
I look like a fun target to kill. I don't need that.
Well for this weather, we only got a couple weather suggestions and I landed on Paris, Denmark.
So we're going there. That's right. The Paris, Denmark.
Paris is like one single road.
With exactly one, two, three, four, five.
I'm gonna say
twenty houses.
Yeah. There's... it's like nothing here.
I can't even find Gudum.
Gudum is, if you look at the map
Gudum or Gud-damn is to the left no I found it I mean it won't find the weather
for Gudum. Maybe it's cuz there's no weather there maybe because it doesn't
exist although you can get a hotel room for 48 bucks a night that's not bad what
about Rezen stud then mark?
We're just doing strewer. This is too much all right
Yes, we're and brem doll brem doll sounds like name of a villain that does brem doll
Yeah, we have to stop brem doll from taking over the world
That's it also kind of sounds like it'd be my villain like Krendor versus Bremdahl versus Bremdahl Yeah, it's uh
What was that was that remember that video where it was two guys doing a lightsaber fight back in the day like early
2000s it was like dork man versus nerdlinger and everyone was like yo the new videos out, dude
Those are great. Those are good days
So in strewer Stewart's 48 degrees Fahrenheit, feels
like 40. Humidity 88%, 29.9 inches of
pressure, 4 miles visibility, high 49, low
35, 9 a.m. sunrise, 356 p.m. sunset, 24
mile an hour winds, 44 on the dew point,
zero on the UV index, and a new moon on the moon
phase.
Taking a look at the 10 day.
It is going to be raining and windy all day with wind gusts over 40 miles an hour, 49
degrees.
Tuesday, 46 rain wind.
Wednesday, 46 light rain wind.
Thursday, 38 AM snow showers. Friday, 37 rain wind, Wednesday, 46 light rain wind, Thursday, 38 a.m. snow showers, Friday, 37 rain snow showers, Saturday, 36 partly cloudy, Sunday, 35 with some p.m. snow showers, and Monday, 35 with some rain and snow.
Really, it's a lot of rain and snow hovering around like 36 degrees. That sounds right. What's very weird about, and again, I must stress,
there's not actually much in this area. I was gonna be like, yeah, yeah, look and see what there is to eat and do.
There is very little.
Yeah, there's...
There's really not a lot. And the things I did find immediately disappointed. McDonald's, I'm'm like ruined immediately. Um, they do have some cool places
But most of it's kind of like little cafes little tiny cute places like along the water
restaurant Ved Fjorden
Looks very fancy like like delicious fish fish
There's also a pirate ship outside for some reason love that I would go there in a heartbeat but yeah most of it along
the waters like really nice but then many go inside the the city it's kind of
like McDonald's McDonald's a takeaway place yeah give sing takeaway yeah it's
just what I found and then a lot of of, you know, like fix your car,
fix your desk, that kind of stuff. Yeah, but not a lot. Really kind of, a lot of grocery
stores though. So I imagine most people here are cooking stuff at home. Yeah, that's, that
would make sense. I'm seeing a lot of grocery stores. What if you go up to bremdahl bremdahl probably
what's going on in bremdahl I don't see even less even less thing here well hold
on let me go out further where are we in the like the north of Denmark.
Dude, this place is crazy.
This is like, it's like we're in the countryside, but it doesn't really feel like a country when you're going down the street.
It feels like a suburban area.
Yeah, it looks kind of like suburban America. Yeah, but then there's like it's only suburban stuff. There's no like
Business district. It's just like houses
That's what I'm saying. Like I mean there is a business district. I'm looking at it right now, but it's a
little or a
Netto or
a like grocery stores
There's a like a's like a tax shop,
a place for fishing stuff.
But it's all, yeah, it's just,
honestly, it's probably what happens
when your country isn't run by corporations.
This is, yeah, this is kinda crazy.
Cause I'm looking at, there's a lot of like lovely houses
I'm on Street View and there's a sports field and there's all sorts of stuff. But yeah, it's mostly houses
Stop, dude. We have call us
Please I want this to happen anyone who ever wrote this whoever is in Denmark right now
the Nordic
Podcast Academy is located here
The Nordic Podcast Academy is located here. Along with Sound Hub Denmark and the Danish Sound Cluster
next to the Sound Art Lab. Are you telling me there's a podcast?
I'm going to their website. The Podcast Academy? Come on now.
The Podcast Academy, that's where we gotta go.
Dude, nordicpodcastacademy.dk.
Is it? Crazy.
So instead of 18 McDonald's in this town,
they're teaching people like,
hey, here's how you make a podcast.
Yo, the Bang & Olufsen.
I don't even know how to say that thing,
but it's the Bang & Olufsen Innovation Lab.
These guys are the only headphones that I use when traveling.
What?
Yeah. B and O, uh, for years and years, I, so, you know, I, Apple headphones fall out
of my ears all the time.
I hate them.
The little in-ear ones, they drive me crazy.
And so I haven't bought the wireless ones because what's the time. I hate them. The little in-ear ones, they drive me crazy. And so I haven't bought the
wireless ones because what's the point? They would just fall out and then I'd lose them.
So years ago when I was traveling a bunch overseas, I bought these B&O headphones that could plug not
only into a music device, but also the TV slash movie things in an airplane. Love them. They sound so good.
I've had them for, I'm going to say 10 years.
This is that company. That's crazy.
Damn, this is...
Some of my favorite in-ear headphones.
I had to, for my new phone, because they don't have a headphone jack anymore.
I had to go out and buy like an adapter.
Still sounds great. Big fan.
I wonder if they'd send us stuff I would I would love it if they did are you kidding me I would be so ecstatic and so that's crazy that
they're just right there the B&O it's like I'm looking at him right now who knew hey small world really is really is well that's the
weather all right let's go to sports sports the sports desk do do do do do
currently in sports in the NBA we got
Cleveland Cavaliers 27 and for they lead
the East yet the Oklahoma City Thunder
26 and 5 they lead the West over in the
NHL we've got the check the conference
get the Devils and the Capitals up the
top 51 50 points is pretty good and in
the West you've got the Jets and the
Golden Knights at the
top. Fifty three fifty one.
So those are your best teams right
now. And then in
the NFL football today,
we had a lot of terrible
games occur and
we're getting to the point where
most teams are either in the
playoffs or out of the playoffs.
So right now we got the Chiefs,
Bills, Ravens, Texans, Steelers, Chargers all in the playoffs
with one team remaining to get in.
It's either going to be the Broncos who have the highest percentage chance or the Dolphins
or the Bengals.
Bengals can get in if the Dolphins, the Broncos lose, the Bengals win.
Dolphins get in if the Broncos lose, the Dolphins win.
And then the Broncos get in if they just win.
So that's the big thing. Meanwhile in the NFC you got the Vikings, Eagles, Lions, Packers all getting
in. Rams are also probably in and then you got Buccaneers, Commanders, Falcons all
battling for that final playoff spot. Primarily Buccaneers, Falcons. So we're
getting one more week of football after this. So we got playoffs playoffs
What a game
As a Steelers fan, I feel that it's been rough the last last couple weeks. Yeah, they're somehow still in there
But I don't know if it's gonna they're gonna get to the end. They're not looking too hot granted
Neither were the Packers today. They almost came back Packers almost came back, but they lose again to the Vikings, so that was fun. Great stuff, we'll see what happens at sports.
I did want to ask you a question. I'm trying to find it. It was on Reddit,
it was NBA talk, and they're talking about the NBA, and boy, I can't find the exact post,
but the gist of it was there was a lot of talk on, I think maybe ESPN about how the NBA is losing views.
People do not care anymore about the NBA.
It is not as popular as it once was.
They're having trouble filling, you know, like advertising budget things, right?
And all the comments said the exact same thing and I couldn't agree more.
It was absolutely 100% correct.
They said the reason why is because for 99% of the season, the NBA does not matter.
The only time to watch is during playoffs and any other time it is stupid.
The seasons are too long.
No one cares.
The games don't matter and they because the season's so long, they keep most people that could do things benched.
They don't play people long.
They, you know, it's usually watching the star
destroy another team.
It's not as fun as it used to be.
And I completely agree.
I don't watch basketball until it's playoff time.
I somewhat agree, but I think there's more to it. So like what?
The the big difference is I mean NBA seasons used to still be like 72 games
it's not like that much change like when Michael Jordan and everybody was playing
it was still 72 games so the the big difference now is nobody plays defense
and everyone just shoots three-pointers and if you look at a score from back in the day, it'd be like 90 to 87 or like 83 to 78.
And if you look at a score now, it's like 147 to 136.
And you're just like, what the shit's going on?
And the biggest thing is it's literally just three-point contest.
And it's just, it's boring. Like after when everybody's just shooting three- contest and it's just it's boring like
after when everybody's just shooting three-pointers because they all figured
out using statistics that it's the best possible shot then it's like okay do I
want to watch three-point contest not really so I guess I'll watch something
else so that's pretty much the main driving factor and then just the some
players just play to get fouled Some people some players just take games off like you were mentioning
And you know you if you go to an NBA game you want to see your favorite guy played
It's like always having a rest night like okay cool
Let I pay all that money for tickets to watch the guy on the bench. It's like there's so many different things that are
contributing to the loss of viewership
And I think the biggest one though is like even I don't really care as much with like three pointers and like no defense
it's like
It's literally like the entire game like it used to be like all the three-point shot is like a risky shot you take to
Pull ahead now. It's just like if you're not taking a three-pointer. You're just statistically bad
So like they have to do something about it because it's it's definitely ruining the game
And they they lessen or loosened up like defensive rules to make it even worse
So now it's like you just can't even guard anybody. So yeah, it's yeah, there's a lot of issues
I'm looking at some comments that I didn't find the reddit post
But the NBA section of reddit is just the last couple weeks have just only been people being like, it sucks now.
Some of the things I'm seeing here, one guy had a post that is basically saying, three
pointers the problem?
Dude, there's other problems.
And he says, and I don't know what this means, the flopping?
What does that mean?
Flopping is when you pretend to get fouled to try and draw a foul from the referee.
That sounds right. Yeah, okay.
I mean, yeah, okay.
Initiating contact to draw fouls is a problem, he says.
He says, longer games because all the damn clock stops due to fouls and free throws.
Yep.
Games start too late. 10.30pm Eastern?
How the hell am I supposed to watch that when I work in the morning?
Are you kidding me?
In a relevant regular season game?
And then he says, too many regular season games.
And then the last one here is bad load management.
Load management's just the players not playing.
Yeah.
The other one that I think they also leave off
is they've made it harder and harder
to actually watch the product so
for example
If you pay for like the all NBA access TV subscription you're like wow I get yes all the NBA games
Except for your local market team and so it's like okay. How do I watch my local market team?
Well, you have to go through your cable provider, but now a lot of these
Cable providers nobody's
watching them because nobody wants cable so then people are like oh I'll get like
YouTube TV or Hulu or DirecTV or whatever but then a lot of these things
don't want to carry sports because they have to pay more for the license for
the sports so then the sports people are like we'll make our own app and so for
example in Chicago they're like check out our Chicago sports app and it sucks ass they didn't even have an app for like half in Chicago, they're like, check out our Chicago sports app.
And it sucks ass.
They didn't even have an app for like half the year.
And they're like, we're not out.
They weren't even on cable.
They were literally like, you can watch us on direct TV or with an antenna.
Like, what is this 1993?
I have to bust out an edit and watch sports.
So instead of watching sports, people are just like, I'm
just going to do something else.
Nobody watches.
Plus, the teams suck.
Yeah.
I mean, that's how I feel about the comparison between the NBA and the NFL.
The NFL is 16 games in a season.
Yeah.
That is reasonable to me to watch.
The NBA, baseball, all the-
Well, it's basically 17 now.
They upped it.
Well, all right.
That shows you how much I pay attention.
But like, you know, MLB, I'll be honest,
most of baseball I don't watch until the playoffs
because it's too long of a season.
Same with the NBA, the NBA is just too long
and it really does devalue what the normal season
of the game is because I just don't care
because literally, I'm not sure exactly what the right number of the game is. Because I just don't care, because literally,
I'm not sure exactly what the right number is,
but it is, I'm gonna say like two thirds
of the NBA teams make it to the playoffs.
Like it is, it is a ludicrous amount
of teams make it to the playoffs.
And then that's when you can care.
Yeah, I mean, you can kind of make that argument
for every sport sport or it's
like just wait for the playoffs. Except and I will say the small number of
NFL games makes those matter more. Right, they're even doing a thing now.
Technically there's 18 weeks but you get a bye week so it's 17. Now they're
playing along with the idea of allowing another
week and then giving teams two by weeks but they play 18 games and so they're
trying to get more games but the players are like I don't want to play more games
because we literally get like it's like fighting every week you're like doing a
fight you're just getting beat up so I mean that's the thing they always they
want more and more but that's the reason. They always, they want more and more,
but that's the reason there's only one a week,
is cause it's literally like you go out there
and get beat up while when you play baseball,
you stand out there in a patch of grass for half the game,
just being like, wow, it's great day.
And then you go hit a ball, run around.
It's the physical demands are like completely
or unequivalent
which is why you have 162 baseball
games compared to like 17 football games.
Yeah, just stat-wise I just look this up
NBA ratings are down 48% since 2012
down 28% this year alone.
Yeah, yeah. I mean that's not like that
doesn't that's not not gonna end well.
That's like the amount of money it takes
to secure big players.
There's no way that that's gonna end well
for the people that own the teams at all.
And so they're gonna start cutting stuff.
And what's gonna happen,
they're not gonna cut the player salaries at first.
They're gonna cut things like, you know,
that hot dog you want, well, that hot dog's $15 now. And so, or the seats are more expensive.
So fans will stop showing. Like it's just going to be a really slow death unless
they figure it out. Oh yeah. Cause I used to watch a lot of basketball. In fact,
I watched a lot recently,
but it really has gotten pretty much all those things they mentioned,
like too many threes flopping players not playing every game.
And it just hits a point where you're just like,
I don't care that much,
and then when they make it even harder
to watch the actual game,
I'm like, I'm just not gonna watch it.
If I wanna see it, I'll like watch highlights on YouTube
after the game's over.
And that's like seven minutes,
and I can skim through it and be like,
okay, cool, I know what happened.
Anyway.
That's it.
And I don't want, like, don't want to color this with the
fact that when I was a kid my version of the NBA was literally like Jordan in his
prime like LeBron like there are plenty of people that are equally if not more
talented like LeBron's amazing like that's not a you know there's many
people that are talented it's just that for some reason I recall long ago
it being like a different vibe entirely and now it's yeah I just don't watch.
I'll tune in to see like all right who's gonna win but like yeah I'm not I'm not
gonna watch your games. It is nobody plays defense like the whole point of
basketball is you have like defense and two-point shot three-point shot free
like there's all the different aspects and they used to play with all the different aspects
taken into account.
Like you'd have three pointers, but you mainly had like two pointers.
You had like the center getting the ball and doing like hook shots.
You had like actual defense where they're like banging against each other.
Right.
And now it's just like you barely touch him and he's like fouled.
It's like three, another three, another three.
It's like you're watching an All-Star game.
Like I don't care. It's boring.
So yeah. That's sports.
Okay! I just want to talk to you about that because I saw it this week and was like,
Krendor would have thoughts.
Yeah, no. I got plenty of thoughts on sports.
Well then let's go to our fact of the day. Fact of the day. Did you know
that bananas are berries but strawberries aren't? God I hate, first off I hate that
I have to believe this because we all were ruined by the fact that people are like,
tomatoes are fruits actually.
So now I just have to accept that, yeah, all right, sure.
We'll call it a strawberry.
Just like peanuts are not nuts, like that kind of thing.
Oh yeah, yep.
It's like, why even put in the name?
Yeah.
Pineapples are not pineapples.
There's no pine tree involved
and they certainly aren't apples.
But then when you're overseas and they're like, non us like wait a minute you call that an ananas and
Even then I'm like that's too close to banana. I don't like that. Yeah, you know
We got it all go on the same page with name and stuff
Yeah, yeah the same way every needs to learn our metric system
Yeah, the same way every needs to learn our metric system
Of Fahrenheit
That's right
It might sound bananas, but it's true botanically but but bananas are classified as berries while strawberries aren't strawberries are actually
Aggregate fruits because they form from multiple ovaries of a single flower. So next time you're munching on a banana, remember, you're eating a berry.
I never want to hear anyone describe a strawberry as multiple ovaries.
What was that?
Terrible.
Multiple ovaries.
Yeah.
Like, okay, I mean, that's one way to describe it.
And, uh, that's your fact of the day.
Alright!
Who has come with us? Come with us. Yep, maybe who's come with us with tears in their eyes
Here's the first one dear illustrious sirs tears my eyes upon my cheeks I supplicate before you nice I
for you. I humbly request a playthrough of the indie horror game Mouthwashing, I beg of you. Is that a Cox and Crendor thing or did you just think you were on a episode of
Scary Game Squad? I think it's just a Scary Game Squad. I mean it's on the list for me
to play for sure. I have heard it's good. Yeah, I've also heard it's really disturbing so I mean that's that'll be a thing. Yep
Cool. Yeah
Great nailed it good. Yeah
Illustrious service tears of my eyes howling in desperation for your words of wisdom in these troubled times
I ask you what is your favorite dinosaur or other prehistoric creature mine is probably
Cali
Cotherium it looks like a horse gorilla
calicoetherium? wow yes it really does look like a horse gorilla it does
what the hell that guy looks awesome I love this dude yeah that's pretty sick
also you can find it in Ark survival evolved oh yeah. Oh yeah, Ark. I know that game.
That's a whole thing.
Dude, what was that? There's like a big sloth like that too, isn't there?
Yes, there is a giant sloth.
Um...
Yeah, there it is. I found it.
What's it called?
It is called...
Uh...
The Megatherium Americanum... Wait, Megatherrium Americanum wait Megathrium Americanum?
Oh yeah Megathrium yeah he literally is just a big old sloth
There it is that's my favorite dinosaur
Interesting that we're talking about mammals though I don't think this qualifies as a dinosaur
These qualify as dinosaurs right because they're warm blooded
Yeah that's true that's more of just prehistoric animal.
Maybe that's another question.
Yeah, yeah.
What's your favorite prehistoric animal?
Man, I like,
obviously I'm a big fan of like any T-Rex variant thing,
but for some reason, to this day,
when I think dinosaur,
I always think of Stegosaurus
every time I love a Stegosaurus, mostly because of the infamous, when I grew up.
And this is a thing we were told that Stegosaurus had a brain in its butt.
And I to this day, remember that.
And it's one of those things that is just not true.
Oh, it's just not true.
There's a weird cavity.
Basically the brain of a stegosaurus was very, very tiny.
And they didn't understand how such a tiny brain could operate a massive creature.
And so there's this weird cavity sort of in the back end of the stegosaurus.
And scientists for a period of time
and when I was like a wee lad in the 80s
thought that that's where another brain was
that operated the back half of the dinosaur.
This is no joke, this is a real thing we were taught.
Huh.
And then it just, they were like, no, we were wrong.
Oh well, I mean it was a good guess.
Yeah, and I love that, so I love Stegosaurus.
I like the spikes in the back, I like the tail spikes, I like his derpy little tiny
head.
Everything about him, great, big fan.
I also really like the Borealopelta.
What the hell is that, a wolf?
No Borealopelta, it's a dinosaur.
What is it? Oh god. It kind of looks like a
bestodon from Warhammer. Ah, okay. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Yeah, he's got like a bunch
of spikes and stuff. I think we just like things with spikes on them. I think we do.
And I'm here for that. Like T-Rex is cool, but he got them derpy arms. He's not grabbing anything. He's not doing anything cool. Yeah.
Look up Boria, Boria, Lopelta, and then look up Bastiladon.
They look pretty similar. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This one, uh,
just has for some reason one extra large damn spike.
Yes.
But if you were going to ride him like some sort of lizard man,
you'd wrap the ropes around that extra long spike and that's how you'd move him.
Exactly. Or you attach a large crystal to zap people with.
Right, I mean, as one would do.
Yeah, exactly. With the little stick riders.
Yeah. Exactly.
By the way, I have four Bastiladons. It's a problem.
Yo, I love that. I don't think it's a problem at all.
I actually have the Lizardmen, I have the most of.
While my experience with them only extends to Total War,
they're some of the most fun to play in Total War, Warhammer.
Just the most fun.
Yeah, they're great. In the actual game they also they're
kind of like total war they have so many different ways to play go magic you go
like full dinosaur you go more like Crocs ago I love my Crocs boys just big
old guys oh yeah they're great yeah no I have I have six physical Crocs ago's
damn stuff damn yeah Yeah, great stuff.
Big fan.
A lot of variety.
Lizardman.
Yep.
Yes.
That's that segment.
Okay, what is our big news story of the day?
Big news story of the day.
Yep. Big news story of the day.
Yep.
Argument over anime ends with dead crocodile
and jail for Alaska brothers.
I must stress to everyone,
this is a story that was presented to me at the live show.
And it was done as a riddle.
So it was like, hey hey if you had to guess where an anime fight with a
dead crocodile took place where do you think it was like oh Florida for sure
and they were like Alaska and I was like what how is there a crocodile in Alaska
a lot of I have questions dude questions we've really been ignoring
Alaska man for far too long
yeah I feel like Alaska Man is
just Florida Man's northern brother
he uh just like him except
he probably says A a bunch
and murdered someone and fled
to Alaska
yep to kill a crocodile
yeah yeah yeah and watch anime
that was cold
blooded boo Yeah, yeah, and watch anime. That was cold-blooded. Boo.
Yep. A crocodile is dead, an alligator is recovering, and two brothers are in jail after an argument about anime turned fatal in Alaska.
Tyler and Ricky Lowe's Thursday night feud came to a head when they tossed each other's exotic pets out the window of their shared
apartment into the snow.
Tyler threw Ricky's pet alligator and
Ricky, launched Tyler's crocodile from their Wasilla apartment. It's not clear
what anime kicked off the dispute. That is...
Well, that probably is the most important thing.
Yeah. We gotta know what the anime is.
State troopers were able to locate the alligator which survived, but were not able to locate
the croc who was presumed dead.
Neighbor recounted the bizarre encounter with a trooper who was tasked with finding this
very out of place critter.
They go, have you seen an alligator run past here?
And I go, you guys are kidding right?
The guy who lives next door to the Lowe brothers said.
Strickland, who has lived in the apartment building about an hour outside of Anchorage for a month, said he had no idea that a croc and gator were right next door.
Troopers were called by Ricky Lowe from the street after he left the apartment with his two year old child.
The brothers were arrested and charged with animal cruelty and assault. Ricky Lowe faces additional charges of DUI and child endangerment.
Wait, okay.
What?
Yeah, we got no details.
There was zero details in there.
I was waiting for you to say like, alright, and this did this, and that was just...
You can kind of piece something together with the fact that there was these two brothers
A two-year-old an alligator and a crocodile all in the same vicinity. I
Feel like that already says a lot
Exactly, but also it's Alaska. So I don't know
Boy I have so many questions. Just so many questions.
It's...
How did they get them? Where...
Where...
Where are they from? Why are they here?
I mean, again...
Are they pets? Are they just holding them to like sell to someone else?
Tyler? A 33 year old through Ricky's...
A 30 year old pet alligator.
Oh, it is pet. Okay.
I, I just have a lot of questions. Also it's Wasilla Alaska,
which is even funnier cause that's where Sarah Palin's from. And I love that.
I love that. That's a little fun fact to throw in there.
Also I feel like every time someone has an exotic
pet they're insane so like I feel like we just shouldn't have exotic pets.
Honestly I just I'd like to keep it open I'm I you know what let the crazy people
have their exotic pets because one day I might be crazy and want an exotic pet.
Well if we're gonna have exotic pets we need to allow Monkey Mondays. I'm with you on this.
Get one without the other.
I just don't understand how an alligator survives in winter in Alaska.
That alone is tripping me up.
That is pretty crazy.
I have no idea.
I just don't understand.
And the fact that we will not know what anime they were arguing over? I mean, that, finding an answer to that question
might absolutely explain why you would throw an alligator.
I've had some arguments with people about TV shows
where I've been like, you're just wrong,
and I've wanted to throw their own alligator at them.
Yeah.
It's, wait, what anime do you think it was
I don't watch enough anime to know I will say what is the popular one that
everyone's watching right now
9 or in the key or in care of women also like Nina man but they're they're
like in their early 30s I feel like they'd be arguing about a bit of an
older anime I don't think so unless
they were arguing over whether like
They were arguing about One Piece and one was like I bet One Piece is gonna have
3,000 episodes and the other one was like no it's gonna have 4,000 episodes. I hope that's not the case What a terrible what a terrible argument to have
Whatever the argument is it's gonna be terrible. It's the it's about anime and throwing
Exotic pets out the window in Alaska doesn't matter what they're arguing about
All right here. We go. I typed in top anime arguments 2024
Mm-hmm. Let's see what what what is the best anime of 20 no art no top arguments
That's not no one be arguing on here, huh?
Controversial anime opinions. Oh, that's good. That's good. Yeah. All right here. We go this one's
Mildly controversial
Let's just mildly where's like full-on controversial here we go
I controversial here we go I don't think Jojo is not a starter anime is controversial opinion to have what this post sucks maybe it was something like
what's that delicious and dungeon show maybe it was a like they were arguing
about whether eating a scorpion would be delicious or not
He's gonna tell you bro. It's delicious, and he's like yeah, would you did alligators like no?
Mr.. Munchies my friend. He's like you need him. He's like no I wouldn't he's like even bitching a through the alligator Adam
You know that probably would be the most they're at least arguing over exotic pets, which they do have.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Although now I'm looking at this list of, uh, animes that came out in 2024.
And I, you know, I just, I don't know what any of these are.
There's one called Negative Positive Angler. Couldn't even tell you what that was about.
There's one called The Illusive Samurai.
I'm assuming a samurai who is elusive.
There's one called Look Back.
No idea what that is.
There's one called The Dumpster Battle.
A hit volleyball anime.
Love that, that's very funny.
There's one that I actually would watch
based on the name called Bartender, Glass of God.
I guess it's an anthology series about a bartender who can make any thirsty customer forget about their troubles.
I'm in, I don't even know what that like, what would that even be?
Yeah, I have no idea.
It is... I don't know. I genuinely wish they could have at least figured out what anime it was that they were arguing over.
That is one of the most important things to this entire conversation.
And now, unless someone else does it, we'll never know.
Yeah.
We'll never know.
That's a big new story today.
