Hello everybody it's time for Ghost in and Crendor in the morning! Cocks and crenda in the morning! Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of cocks and crenda in the morning! Yeah, yeah, yeah, pew, pew, pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss master if you will for many years. I wasn't really sure what they were but I knew they were sound effects. That's all you need. I heard like a bang, I heard like a whistle, heard like a juuu in there but I didn't know. Yeah I mean I'm well known for if I'm playing a game and something happens I go like, blah, bleh, bleh. Before we started

this this episode you literally went a-choo and then went, bleh, you like made a noise. Yeah when I sneeze I don't hold anything back I sneeze and go like, BLEUGH, he like made a noise. Yeah, when I sneeze, I don't hold anything back. I sneeze and go like, BLEUGH. Yeah, I appreciate it. I appreciate a powerful sneeze. I don't like sneezes that are like, EEEEK, I don't like that. Yeah, and if you hold back, it's like you can cause like blood vessels to burst and like crazy stuff, at least from what I heard, I don't know. I'm not holding back, so it doesn't matter. I've always felt that if you had to sneeze, and you know, the air is going to come out your top half, right? If you hold it in, it's

going to come out the bottom. A silent sneeze is a big fart, is what I'm saying. That's true. That's how it works. It's all connected in there somehow. Yeah, it's science. And so yeah, I just let it all out. I lean into it too, like, so I'm not like... because I remember one time I was like, you know what, I'm gonna try to not sneeze too hard and you know, my neck kind of hurts and I went like, and I like hurt my neck more and I was like, I should just went into it. You just gotta fully go into that sneeze. You gotta have a full buy-in. You can't be ashamed of the fact that you got a tickle in your nose or a

Something I don't know. I'm not sure what causes sneezes It's probably numerous thing. I know one is just irritants in your sinuses. So sure body's just trying to clear them out You can you can tickle your nose into sneezing. There was one time that I kind of forgot how to sneeze. I'm sorry, what? Yeah, I think my body just forgot how to sneeze. Are you sure you ever remembered how? Cause I've heard you sneeze many times and I'm still not sure you've mastered the achoo.

No, I have. Okay. Because, when, it was like years ago, but I remember I started getting anxious about sneezing because I would, every time you know you got that sneeze feeling coming on, like you're like uh, it would be like uh, and then it would just go away. And I'd be like, okay, and it just kept happening. Wait, did you audibly go uh?

I may or may not have. I think my brain might be creating that, but. So what you're telling me is there are many- hold on, hold on! You're telling me there's many times in your life where, I don't know, we're sitting around at dinner, you're sitting there eating, and then you just go, OOOH! And then nothing happens and you go back to eating? No.

But! I think I'm also trying to emphasize what's going on in my body at this point. Alright, alright. You got that sneeze this point. All right. All right You got you got that sneeze feeling coming on right? You're like, oh, I'm gonna sneeze You're like, huh, and then nothing and so what I did to kind of re sneeze Retrained myself to sneeze as I had like some toilet paper and I rolled it up really thin into like a little Like stick thing and I stuck that up my nose and tickled it up really thin into like a little like stick thing and I stuck that up my nose and tickled it up there and then yeah and then boom

sneezing happened. Are you sure you didn't put it up too far and there was some brain damage that happened? Maybe. But it it worked got me sneezing again. I mean it wasn't any worse than when they do the the COVID swaps up there. That's true. That's how it felt. That was my weird sneeze arc of my life. Well, it's a fine way to start a podcast. That's for sure. Yeah How are you doing? I guess you got fires all around so that's like Yeah, I'm getting smoked out and not in a good way dude. It is rough.

It's just nature smoking you out. Yeah, I mean, it's the wrong plants to burn, that's for sure. My, I'm sure people can tell, my throat and nose are messed up. And it's because I'm allergic to pollen and dust. And fires, big ones, produce a lot of both. And so it's all in the air, I'm allergic to pollen and dust and fires big ones produce a lot of both and so it's all in the air I'm a mess. I'm taking my allergy meds, but My nose has been non-stop running for days And it's driving me crazy. I've run through so many tissues. I don't

Feel bad. It's just allergies And so the first day I had that sinus thing where your head is throbbing because it feels like there's pressure. And so I had to deal with that. So I got a bunch of meds, I went to the doctor and was like, I just, hook me up dude. And so I'm fine except one, the meds make it

so I don't have the sinus pressure but my nose still like drips which sucks. And two, it dries me out. So I'm going through water like crazy and my throat's still dry. Not a fan, don't like it at all. But thankfully that's the worst that is happening to me. I'm in a very nice pocket of,

there is smoke to the east of me, there is smoke to the north of me, but right where I'm at the sky is somehow magically clear, but we're still getting, for example the other night I was driving home and I thought it was snowing, it was ash. Oh my god. I was like what the hell? So yeah, because the fires that are east of us, all of that is blowing west out to the ocean and it's going right over me. So sometimes it's really high in the sky and I'm good, sometimes it goes around us and sometimes it just drops ash right on us and it's very apocalyptic, but in a very strange

way because I'm sure everyone's seen images of what's going on and the fires and the palisades and sort of north of where I am. A great example of people are curious. I am, the fires north of us are just at the border of the northern part of Santa Monica. And I am three cities down from Santa Monica. Again, LA is huge. It's made up of multiple, multiple, multiple cities. It isn't just LA. LA proper is a very small area. And so I'm safe. I'm not going to get on fire or anything, but it's visible. Like you can look out your window and see, a great example is from where my old apartment was, if you go there, you can look out the window and see the billowing smoke in the red hue in the background.

It's wild, it's very weird looking. But then at the same time, while it was very obvious tragedy happening with an uncontained fire, dude's just going about their life. I saw people getting a fight over a parking space the other day and I was like, really people, you know, uh, my new apartment, there's a restaurant kind of across the street and every night completely packed. People just sitting there eating their Chinese food. And I'm like, it's a weird vibe, but it is because the city's so, so big.

Yeah. It's a uh that happens a lot I think where people consider some places like I guess smaller than they are but sometimes they're just being polite or nice and they're just like hey hope this person's alright or like I saw this thing happen over here and I'm like like there's something that happened there like I saw something happen in Chicago I was like dude there's like a billion people here yeah that's like when 9-eleven happened I got calls from friends that were like dude you all right and like I'm on the other side of the state but thank you for calling I

appreciate it I'm not gonna hate you for it but you don't have to worry I'm fine but um yeah it's it's interesting because I'm a big fan of those videos on YouTube where it's like, British guy reacts to the size of the United States. Because it's such a pure honest reaction of living in a place that is significantly smaller than something else and being like, wait a minute, that place is huge. Which is why I think it's hilarious. And people are like, it takes so long to get there. It's an hour drive.

And I'm like, brother, an hour Wouldn't even get me across this city They are asking so it is place not just like why'd you ask you dumbass I would never I would be This goes back to the Jesse Cox theory of orgies. I'm just happy they're thinking of me. Yep. That's it I like how now when you bring that up. I know what that is and I feel like that's just Yeah That's it. I like how now when you bring that up, I know what that is. And I feel like that's just, I don't know. Yeah. You know what? It's, it is what it is. It's a, it's a unifying theory. Everyone gets it. I, I firmly believe most people we flatter to be invited to an orgy and they wouldn't go, but they just want to be thought of. It's true.

Yeah. That's not my scene, but I'd like that you thought of me. Thank you. Yeah. They looked at you and they're like, this person's attractive. Yeah, I think I've seen but I'd like that you thought of me. Thank you Yeah, they looked at you and they're like this person's attractive. They they're banging right like yeah Not just one person but multiple people who would love to have sex with that person in one night and honestly that's flattering Yeah So anyway Yeah, I remember last year I think it was like June of last year or maybe two years ago at this point, or a year and a half, whatever. We had the Canadian fires like blowing smoke over to us and that was like, that was like so bad. Like you would

just go outside and it just smelled like weird wood and like cookies or something. Like it was like, I don't know I can't even explain it that is 100% the vibe yes yes completely you have basically lived through what I am experiencing right now yeah it's terrible I remember they were like do not go outside like they were canceling sporting events and stuff and there was like people just walking around they're just like yeah you know they're like it they got their kids out there I was like uh I don't think you should be doing that but you know who am I the

judge I guess I'm just gonna keep going it's like oh my god today I saw this lady on a on a bike path just riding her bike. Mind you, there's like snow and ice everywhere and it's like, it was like 27 degrees. She's just riding her bike. I was like, listen, nothing's stopping her. That is some, I live in the colder parts of the country attitude. Cause I mean, listen, I still, I wear my athleisure hoodies

cause I go to the gym and people always get... I remember one time I wore short sleeve athleisure hoodie thing and I ran into the gym and someone's like, you're wearing short sleeves? It's like two degrees outside. And I was like, listen, I'm running from the parking lot to here. I'm not going on like a mile long journey. And he was like, nah, fair enough. That's how you get your cold though, dude. That's it. You step out, you get shocked and your body's like, oh, and then they get you. I think that's how you get your cold though, dude. That's it. You step out you get shocked and your body's like, oh

And then they get you I think that's how science works. What it's it's actually been proven That's not how it works Uh, my dad when I was a kid told me if I didn't put a coat on I catch a cold when I go outside Here you go Mayo Clinic 2024 January 16th can cold weather cause a cold when your parents. Yeah Before you go outside or cause a cold? When your parents... Yeah, go on....before you go outside or catch a cold, there's a small kernel of truth. If you're a little bit colder outside, your body's immunity system may drop a little bit because it's spending extra effort to keep you warm. That's not with everybody, but in some cases it may predispose you to a cold because your immune system is weaker in that scenario. However, when it's cold outside, typically people gather around the fireplace or around

home, therefore if people are sick, you're more likely to be in close proximity to someone who is sick, therefore more likely to make you sick. In most cases, for most healthy people, time rest chicken soup gets you healthier, blah blah blah. So pretty much, you can't get sick unless there's an actual virus Around kernel of truth is where my dad operates though So, you know so it's more like

If you're around somebody that's sick and then you're like, let's open up these windows get some two degree air in here Then all right, then maybe you're're gonna be more likely to get sick, but like if you're just cold and then you warm up and there's no like viruses that are bad around you then you're fine. Plus it probably depends on how long you're cold for. Do you have a friend or yourself, it could be you, that in the winter would turn the heat on, because it was cold, you know, lived in the Midwest or wherever right northeast and I'm gonna call up my friend Mike from high school dude would have the heat on it'd be nice and toasty in his apartment house whatever but then he'd be like it's so hot in here so he'd crack a window I do that in the car

I'm like all right. Yeah, it's warm. I'm like dude. It's too hot. It's stuffy in here Then I open the window and I'm like all right. We're good. I'm like oh no. It's getting too. I just go back and forth That seems crazy. Just turn the heat off then You just open the window. It's fancy And you get some fresh air in there. I guess that's that fresh winter air How does you drive in a car down the road the weird part is? Usually when it snows it's actually kind of warmer, and then when it's like sunny out That's when it gets really cold, and there was like some science behind that I don't know those there. It's the snow right the the white reflects the sunlight and black sucks it up

Yeah, so snow right the the white reflects the sunlight and black sucks it up yeah so when it snows it often feels warmer because the conditions necessary for snow to form usually involve warmer air mass moving into a colder area wow I am so this is that kernel of truth I think I exist in the same place as my father yep thank you to I'm just making stuff up.

Here's the thing. Before Google, y'all would have believed me. Y'all would have been like, Uncle Jesse said and would have stuck with you for 40 years, just like a brain in the butt of a dinosaur. I think that's why every boomer and older person is like that. They're just like, well, I knew a guy named Jim James Johnson, he always used to say when it gets cold outside you're gonna shit yourself

and I do every winter. Every time! Without fail! So yeah. Um, I need to bring up something. Okay. So I heard Dodger got into competitive gaming. Alright. This is true, this has happened. Yeah, and I can't

say I like it, but it's true. And I said Dodger's in her competitive 2016 CranDor era. Mm-hmm. So I saw Sam and JP playing League of Legends. Okay. New season started. GMART started playing. I was like, you know what? I can do my placements. Right? I was like, I haven't done my placements in a while since the last season, like a year ago or something. And I was like, I'm gonna do my placements

and see how it goes. You did? You said you're gonna join them? No. Well, I was gonna play with GMART, but then he already finished his, and I was like, all right, I'll just do mine, see where I am. And I went 0 and 5. And I realized that I'm just, I think I'm just too old. I hit that point. I was about, dude, I was about to make the joke, look at you now, old man, but I was like, no, that's insensitive, I don't want to do that. And you're like, dude, I think I'm just old, and I was like no that's insensitive I don't want to do that and you're like dude I think I'm just old and I was like well well well I genuinely think I'm too old it's like back in the day back in you know my 20s spry full of competitiveness I mean I'm still competitive that vim and vigor I get it you know

I could like pump out league games I was just like come on alright here we go I was like you just grind it out right you're like we got a rank up and I just every game I played I was like I Just I didn't do too well that game, but like I didn't die a lot and like we just kind of got out played That's fine. We'll go to the next one the next one. I gank bot lane. I'm like alright here We go we got bot lane 2 and oh then they proceed to go a combined 2 and 15 and They were just like this is unbelievable my ad carry sucks And they're like you the support sucks, and we were just like, this is unbelievable, my AD carry sucks and they're like you the support sucks and we were just like you're both bad and I was just like, okay that was just a fluky game.

So then there was like two other games I like repressed into my memory and then there was my final one where I was like alright this one's gotta be good. I played Fiddlestick, alright played the stick bust them out me and bot lane fantastic other lanes Jungler did mediocre mid lane went one and nine top lane went one and then and then they had a 15 and two guy On their team who just killed everybody and I was like, you know what? I Think I'm done It just it hit that point

I was like it's just so much of its predetermined it's just so much of it's predetermined on your teammates and if it's not predetermined on your teammates, you need to be good enough to be able to carry the entire team, like to victory, which then means that you should be in a much higher ranking than where you're at right now. And so I was like, listen, 2019, 2020, I got the plat. All right, I proved that I can get the plat. I'm good. That was, I just, it was me thinking back

on my history of competitive league. And I was like, you know what, I made it. That was my prime. And now it's time for me to ride off into the sunset. You really had your Jordan thought he could do it again moment, huh? I did. This was me, I'm the Wizards. You were like, you know what? I'm not old, your Jordan thought he could do it again moment, huh? I did. This was me on the Wizards. You were like, you know what? I'm not old. I can come back and do it. I'll do it for a different team. It's like, you know what? Probably shouldn't

have. Yeah. No, it's, it was, this was me on the Wizards. I straight up was just, and then part of the big part afterwards was like, I could feel my jaw like clenched like I could feel my TMJ like tightening And I was like yeah, no I'm done Like once it once I feel physical symptoms of stress from playing I was like I can't do it but I Could play Marvel rivals Well, you can play it you can play it now because Well, you can play it now because it, well, I mean, it's just coming out of its big beta phase, but you can play it now because it's in that same place that I think Overwatch

was years and years ago where we all kind of liked it and everyone was kind of on the same level and we were all having fun and no one was too up their own butt about it and then it happened where everything became so damn serious when you played and I have a feeling that might happen as Marvel starts to have you know its big first season but with that said I I get everyone who's like I love playing right now it's so much fun I wish that I had the patience for any of it, but just like you playing League, that is me with every competitive multiplayer game now. I am so

over it. I just can't be bothered. I start to, I know my teeth are like grinding. I get mad for unreasonable reasons. Like driving in a car behind a slow person mad where I'm like, I will kill you. Like, I don't know that person, but here I am furious at them. That's how I feel. I will shout at randos. I will be a complete asshole. I'm like, I don't know. I don't need that.

Here's the thing. I still want to play. I don't have that like, you know what? I hate it now. It's like there's still that part of that Wizards Jordan where I'm like man I wish I was better I could carry. I'm just like I still got it in me. But in Marvel Rivals I mean I would say at higher ranks there are people like that in

fact I have heard stories of people being like oh yeah I was playing ranked and there was like people just like screaming at each other over thing pretty much Anytime you play a competitive game people are going to get mad at each other Because even when people are bad they get mad at everybody so like somebody might be like oh and four and they're like Can anybody help me? How's the team going? It's like dude your own for stop being shitty, right? Like you're always gonna have somebody that's mad, no matter what. I've always thought of competitive, I don't wanna say commentary, but team speak, being very similar to Hell's Kitchen. I don't know that Gordon Ramsay really means it when he

calls you a donkey, but in the moment, it's what he wants to say to you. And when he says like, he's pork chops or shit, your shit, you get out of the kitchen, I feel like that's not how he is all the time, right? You see him off that show, on any British show, and he's a nice guy, but the minute he's on that one show, he is a monster, and I feel like that's the same thing I think so yeah it's just I mean that's how my Denny's was born yeah exactly think about it yeah I even I busted out the Denny's one game that's how you know it

got serious but like I used to be that person who just get mad and now I'm just like I'm just like yeah I guess we're playing bad or I was like sorry I'm just like I'm just like yeah, I guess we're playing bad or I was like sorry Yeah, I'm playing bad but then it like it slowly builds up where I think you get like frustrated after like numerous losses in a row and stuff or I'm just like Come on. What are we doing? What's going on? And then I'm just like I'd rather just play something else. Maybe it was like even Marvel rivals I'm like I can play it competitively and like be like yeah, but I don't care as much

I think sure sure you just need to find something that allows you to do what you do in Warhammer, which is Create something goofy and let fate take over and enjoy the fact that you have no control Yes, well that is like you can prep and you can you can prep and you can have fun But in reality at the end of the day, it's up to die rolls, or it's up to all sorts of other little factors that make it fun. And yeah, you can be upset that you lost, but at the end of the day, it isn't because I just wasn't performing my best, and I have to, I gotta get better. I feel like that'd be better for you.

No. Oh, okay, never mind. In fact, it's the opposite. I wish that when I played League of Legends, I was like, you know what? I just played badly. I got to get better. Like, whatever. Instead, it's like, I played okay, but my shitty ass top lane sucked ass and fed them and then he went and killed everybody. So it was like out of my control. But why were you paired with them? I don't know. It's matchmaking systems probably there to make you mad and keep playing. I mean like maybe you're the same skill level as them, they just had a bad day like you have sometimes. Exactly,

I don't want them on my team. Give me something, give me the carry team. That's why you need to play with friends who are like good, you need to have people who carry you. You need to learn how I do Final Fantasy X 14, which is when I do hard content I bring in ringers. I'm like, all right people who have done this 800 times. Tell me what to do. It's great Well, that's what I do with wow Everybody and I'm like guys watch this Yeah mounts everything. I'm like this event's happening. What do I do? And they're like form the group and I'm like, all right Yeah, just show me what we're doing

So I do and they're like form the group and I'm like alright yeah just show me what we're doing so I do that but it's just specifically the competitive I mean league it's its own thing because I've played it for like 20 years at this point or whatever like I still I don't mind playing normal games with friends because it's like whatever you're also playing with friends or everything but it's just that it's that competitive rank but at the same time I still love it I think it's a problem it is a drug I can tell you're the man who said I hated everything every bit of it but I still wish I could play I wish I was better yeah that sounds like a drug I think it is so yeah but you know what I got got Warhammer, right?

It's more chill. I can paint. I can still play the game. I play with friends. However, I did play Warhammer game yesterday or two days ago. We played a two V two. I played a list I made of Skaven

called the Carriage and Overrats. So the Carriage and Overlords are flying steampunk dwarves that fly around on their ships and shoot people. So I made my rat version, which is literally just rats that shoot people. And so my friend on the team, we did 2v2, he was Flesh Eater Quartz, and then my other two friends were Iron Jaws, which are like the orcs, and Sylvaneth, which are like wood elves. And we just proceeded to like shoot them

because they're like really slow. So I just like sat back and shot them and they were just like, I don't even know what to do. Like it was, we're just dead. And then they rolled badly and we were like, yeah, that game kind of sucked. So we spent like two hours playing. It was just like, I had fun because I shot people with my rats.

But I was like, we really should have just switched the teams up to something where the two slow people are on the same team that just sit back and get shot by the rats. So even in that situation, you could have wacky things happen. But it was also more fun because you're also just in real life hanging out with friends compared to online yelling at people. Sure. And it's also you're not in a tournament competitive play situation. Mm-hmm. Like I feel like if you weren't doing your match ranking, whatever the hell you were doing in league,

if you were just playing for goofs like doing ARAM, you'd probably have more fun. Yeah. Probably, but I also have no desire to play it. Heh, sure, sure. It's that competitive ranking dopamine urge, and it just drives me to be like, I just gotta play. Now, granted, I've made it a goal this year to play more variety, because I've played

so much Pokemon and WoW on stream. I was like, you know what? I want to get back to doing some variety. So I start my streams now with a variety game and then I go into WoW or Pokemon. Now what are these variety games you're playing though? So I played Tiny Glade. Okay, love it, very cute. Yeah, that was a good game. Very chill.

Actually lowered my blood pressure instead of the opposite. I believe that. I think that's the point. So that was nice. I like that game. I played Total Warhammer 3. Love that. I did see you online playing that the other day. I was like, oh, that's cute. Yeah, cause I was like, you know what? I haven't played that in a while. And I like Warhammer. So I played as the Norse. I was like, oh, that's cute. Yeah. Cause I was like, you know what? I haven't played that in a while.

I like Warhammer. So I played as the Norse and I played as the troll man. I think it's like Trug, Trog, Trog, whatever his name is. So you were, you were chaos. Good for you. Yeah. And so I just walk around and then kill everybody with my trolls. And then my trolls live and then you just kind of keep doing that. So that was pretty fun. You should try. Um, oh man, what is his name? There's one of the lizard men.

It's like a Sauron guy and he's way in the bottom right of the map and he's not allowed to control cities. All he does- Oh, is he a chameleon skink? No, he's a Sauron guy, he's white. And you go around and you take over cities, and then when you take over the cities, it defaults to a different faction, so you just keep moving. So it's just you gotta keep attacking and attacking, and that's how you win. It's fun,

dude, I love that guy. That is pretty cool. You mean Saurus guy? What's a Sauron? Oh, Saurus, sure, yeah, Saurus. It's like Lord of the Rings, like he's a Sauron? Oh, a Saurus, sure, yeah, Saurus. It's like Lord of the Rings. He's a Sauron. Maybe he's a Kroxagar, I can't remember. But he's white, he's a big white dude. Yeah, I think I know who you're talking about.

He's fun, he's one of the few characters I read. Because I miss in Total Warhammer 2 when you played as Chaos, you literally couldn't take over anything. You just had to destroy. And I like that they have a character who does that now because chaos and Three is like build a city my boring and I want to murder her yeah Yeah, I think I know you're talking about it's a

Sorus warrior source So yeah, maybe it is a croc to go. I don't know either way dad. I'd try them out So yeah, then I played Oh rocket rats Rocket rat what is rocket rats so? it's a vampire survivor style game, but you're a rat in space and survivor style game but you're a rat in space and you shoot a bunch of like moons and stars and planets that attack

you and honestly it's pretty good big fan of rocket rats if you just type it in rocket rats game I'm looking it up right now yeah it's only six bucks Steve and it's great six bucks on Steam. And it's great. I had a great, and the only reason I found it is there's that website that shows you Steam stuff that's doing really well.

It's called Steam 250. And I was just like, how do I find these like variety games to play? So I went to Steam 250 and it was like, here's the hidden gems. And then I looked at risers on the hidden gems list and rocket rats was like rising up the list I'm like you know what that looks like a game I'd play I'll play rocket rats you know what they were right I love rocket rats so that was good have you thought about playing Bellatro? I've played Bellatro.

Have you? I literally have like 30 hours in Bellatro. On stream? Uh, no. Okay, what are the differences? I played it last year, almost a year ago, when it came out, when I got sick with a cold. And then I just played it for like 15 hours, and then I was like, nice. And then I just played it for like 15 hours and then I was like nice and then I just played it casually

Some more throughout the year. So you're looking for like indie games indie sort of it'll take an hour to beat kind of games Yeah, kind of I mean I like those I mean I'll play anything but I've been I like those cuz I can play them and You can either like, like for Rocket Rats, I'm like, ah, I played like a few rounds and now I can swap to something else or like I can build stuff and then swap to something else. Sure, sure. I don't want to play a full blown like Skyrim game or something. I've been having fun with that.

New year, new me. I'm just going to try this game. It's apparently only 30 minutes called Cat and Onion and it's a cat and a squirrel. And I assume the squirrel's name is Onion? Yes. So I'll be checking that one out. Love that. Yeah so it's pretty neat. I'm uh I'm gonna having fun doing those things and so no no that's that's kind of my thing. And then I wanna just, I'm trying to collaborate more this year,

because I feel like I haven't collaborated enough. That's why I said we should play Civ. I'll play Civ, I'll play Civ. I'll complain the entire time, but I'll play. Perfect. I already expected you to do that. So. Yeah, I got hit up about Civ 7 as well,

and trying to create a big group of people playing and everyone's like, you gotta get Krendor in. I was like, that'll be the longest, we will make it to turn four. To be fair, all right, as long as I've played Civ recently, I've got, you know, I'm pretty quick about my decisions. You are but a mere factor in that. I'm talking, they were like, it'll be like 12 people playing. I'm like, about my decisions. You are but a mere factor in that. I'm talking, they were like, it'll be like 12 people playing.

I'm like, that'll take forever. Yeah, that would be a lot. We will not have an end to our story. We will not know what happens to our world. I feel like four to five is probably the most you should have. Sure, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I mean, if you do that, sign me up.

I mean, I'll play anyway if a if we do two players Civ. Yeah, I mean that's Civ sevens what February 11th, so we've got a month away. Yeah exactly a month. Yeah, no I'm already I'm mentally preparing for tomorrow because tomorrow is a Dynasty Warriors origins, and I am so hype Dynasty Warriors origins and I am so hype While you're over there like I'm trying to get better, and I want to be good, and I want to learn Dinos wars are like Here kill a thousand people they will not fight you hard. I'm like yes

Yeah, that's what I want Yeah, very excited for that. When's the... Didn't you play a... How many Dynasty Warriors are there? There are many. There's also a Roachie Warrior. Like, there's plenty of Warriors games, right? The last one though sucked. The last Dynasty Warriors, they tried to make an open world.

And it's hard to make an open world game with a thousand people on a battlefield. They just fade out of existence. It was not good. So the new one is basically you play as a brand new character who's sort of like the insert character and you go through the story as that character and you can equip whatever you want to them and put things on them. But also at the same time, you can control units in an army and you have a companion who's, you know, it could be anyone from Guan Yu to like, I don't know, Joe the plumber, who knows? It could be anyone. And so I'm very curious about the whole thing. I have no idea what it's going to really be like, but I'll find

out tomorrow. As long as it's not like the last one, I hope they returned to the old-school style of Every level is a map and you do the objectives and you burn buildings down and you kill thousands of probably innocent Chinese dudes and then Lubu comes out and murders you and you're like, yeah good experience now and I typed in Dynasty Warriors Well, the first thing that came up was just Dynasty Warriors 9. It's just a bunch of waifu women. That sounds probably correct. Nine was not very good. Ah, okay.

I was just curious because you're like, yeah, here's a battle game. Can you play as these women or why are they all representing the game then? Yeah. So, Dynasty Warriors 9 and Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires is, it's not great. It's the open world one. It's for PlayStation 5. I know many people enjoyed it. I did not. The idea of go back to the base camp, run over to this base and talk to this, like it just, I want it to be here's a little scenario thing, you do it, cutscene. You load your character again, do the scenario, cutscene.

You make your character cool, scenario, cutscene. And it just keeps, like, I want to play the map. The problem with the open world is it was, like, it was too flat and too boring. And, you know, it was an open world, there's no need need for it to be it's one of those things where open world is fun If you actually enjoy exploring the world, but there's nothing to explore you're not exploring fighting You're fighting battles, and it's like well this sucks. Give me a map for a battle, and I'll be fine, so yeah I Enjoyed it, but yeah nine wasn't nine didn't do it for me

There's dynasty warriors advance the Gameboy advance Honestly if I wanted you to play a dinosaur it would be oh man I think it's like a roachy all-stars or something like that It's every character Across all their universes and one of the characters they include is a guy from a mobile game Who is the cat version of Oda nobanaga? And it's like one of the funniest things the world because he has no abilities except he summons armies of cats To attack people and it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen my entire life. I played that until my fingers hurt

It is hilarious. We would love it There reminds me a monster hunter you get the cat played that until my fingers hurt. It is hilarious, who would love it? There reminds me of Monster Hunter where you get the cat helper, but. Yes, now imagine that. Imagine the Palicos, but it's them versus humans. It's ridiculous. Honestly, that sounds better. I'd rather fight against the humans than the monsters.

You are a little anime ass cat, like a little fat cat with a mustache and then little cat soldiers with spears and shit are just like, let's go! They like charge ahead. That's uh, isn't that, I think the new Monster Hunter game comes out like a month too, doesn't it? Yeah. Um, I think we'll probably get some more information this week because I know there's a bunch of events coming up.

I don't know. I have no clue. My thing with Monster Hunter is that I love the world. I love exploring Monster Hunter. I love the graphics. I love the Palicos and all that. And I'm just bad at the game. And I also just, I always just feel bad killing the monsters. I'm like, I'd rather just fight the human.

Like the monsters seem cool. I'd want to like ride on the monster, like battle with the monster, you know? I I love Monster Hunter I think it's very fun I don't like and you know this the alright beat the game now let's go grind a bunch to get cool yeah yeah the real game is like we got to kill a monster 80 times to get all the parts and I'm like nah dude I'm out. Then it just becomes an RPG pretty much. Yeah and not even like just a full grind fest yeah I'll do the story I'll complete it but yeah I'm not gonna a great example is I was playing um oh man uh uh Romancing Saga 2 and in that I hit a

point where I realized this isn't a game that you can beat completely, your first go through. When you beat it once, yeah, okay, great, you beat it, but there's a million other things to do that you just simply didn't do because it's all based on time periods. So a great example is, you're the first emperor, you do a bunch of stuff, but then your emperor will die

either through battle or age. And then a new Emperor comes along It'll be like 100 years later. And if you didn't complete some things some things are cut off to you You just can't do them anymore And so it's like do it next time dumb dumb and that's fine and I'm here for that I think it's very creative, but I'm not going to do it someone will but it ain't gonna be me I beat it. I beat the game got the ending and was like, cool, okay. I do not need to know how that mermaid quest ended, I just don't care enough.

Yeah, it's, for me, it kind of falls back to that Warhammer thing I had where I just want to play as the scaven and fight the humans Like I want to play as the monsters. I like like I always think the coolest stuff is the stuff you're fighting against I'm like, let me play is that that's all I want That's why I love war hammer games or like playing actual war hammer because I can do that Yeah, I mean, that's why I went horde in Warcraft originally. Yeah, that's true I was like my choice is elf human dwarf or these badass looking dudes Who kill elves humans and dwarves? I'm in all right? Let's do that

Yeah, and so I feel like somebody needs to just like lean more into that Cuz like I don't know how cool would it be to have one of the monster hunter monsters like you see all these monsters and you like Get one you get to like train it up and fight with it and you're just like battling just like villages and you're like yeah take them out like it's awesome that's kind of because you can do that in total warhammer you're just like got crazy warhammer units you're just like gore guns smash and you're just like holy shit yeah he's beating everybody up so what you're telling me is you want a game

called monster hunter hunter yes that actually be amazing monster hunter hunter yeah and you just you're you one of the many monsters and you finally get your revenge and then you can adorn your body or cave with their skulls yes oh my god that would be a better game than even like the any other game we've thought up I think that would sell numbers Monster hunter hunter. I'm with you on this. I think it would actually be a great DLC They went to put a lot of work in they could take wilds and just throw a new coat of paint on it Be like you're a monster now go ahead the hunters like just somebody just got just gotta try it. Somebody try something. Please.

It's gonna be fun. Like I said, with the Skaven, like if you had Skaven versus the humans and stuff people were like, oh you could kinda do it. It's like, no, I want full blown like pick what you want, warpfire cannons, you're just like yes, yes.

And you're just like running around like yes yes and here's like running around with your mutant rats and doom wheels and crazy shit that's what honestly they should have done a oh my god what are the names those games the the the four player warhammer ones we run around you murder chaos units as I said vermin tied vermin tied and demon tie what dark tight dark tight yeah dark tight yeah War player, Warhammer ones, we run around to your murder chaos units. That's what I was gonna say, Vermintide. Vermintide and Demon Tide, or what, Dark Tide, Dark Tide. Yeah, Dark Tide, yeah. They should flip that, and instead of it being for humans or whatever that you have to fight

enemies with, it should be either the chaos units or the Skaven or whoever, and instead of equipping a new gun or a new armor or whatever if you're a skaven you get weird ass things you can put on you if you're chaos you get a new tentacle or you get like a horn and the horn lets you charge it in pale guys things like that I think it was so interesting and fun yeah I'm with you on this I think being a human is boring I live as a human it's boring exactly that's my point being a human. It's boring. Exactly. That's my point Being a human sucks. I want to be a rat with crazy shit You get like and there's like so many different varieties. Yeah, like pestilent you get like the plague priests Yeah, like disease you get all this crazy

Poison and stuff you can put on people you go Clam Eshin and be a ninja rat and be like you know you know you could you're throwing stars You could be clan Mulder you got all the mutant rats walk around I got some big ass mutant rat just smashing shit and storm vermin Or storm fiend storm about whichever one like there's so many more cool things than just like I'm a human with a pole arm I have used pole arm attack like cool. I just

Anyone who's like but Jesse Cran door you can't be like a sexy lady if you play as one of Hell divers to is a perfect example of why that's not Needed you are not a sexy badass You're a like throw myself at a bunch of robots until I explode and then keep doing it Which is pretty much what the like scaven version of a vermin tide would be I Like how your first thought was somebody going, but I play the white fool with it Honestly, that's what I think a lot of people think about when they think of why do game creators make a lot of human based games. It's so that you can put yourself in

that character and be it lady or fella, a lot of the time people just make like the hot girl, right? And that sells games, hot girls sell games. It's just what it is. You're playing Marvel rivals right now and all people on the internet are talking about are like, damn, that invisible woman, fine. But I'm saying Helldivers, the perfect example of you uniting community around the idea of the goof of we're little tiny rat bastards and we're just, everything is for the swarm

and we're just coming to get y'all. you know crazy stuff like that people would eat it up yes yes exactly people would be like rats rats we are the rats and they'd be so that'd be hilarious I agree so yeah we need full rat game full or chaos you can throw some chaos in there Why not and then a full monster hunter hunter? That's a winner, dude So yeah, that's that happened Let's see I have anything else

Mm-hmm Let's see. I have anything else Oh, yeah, we were we're walking at the mall and some kid was walking by who was probably like Four years old and she like Tossed her jacket into the air and it fell on the ground and then she looked at us and went oops I mean kids kids kids be stupid like that though Yeah, it was just funny because she like literally just tossed it and then looked like, oops, it was like, you did that on purpose. Now was the kid with a parent at the time?

Yes, and the parent was walking ahead of them, as every good parent does, where they leave their kid behind them. Right, right, you want your kid behind you so you don't have to look at them. Yeah, I get it. That makes sense. Yeah, of course. Good parenting. That was that was pretty much it was just a funny thing a kid did. And I don't think I did too much other stuff this week trying to get clean. It's like as people do spring cleaning We try to do like winter cleaning. You gotta, you gotta clean before the spring. I think. I think the reason why it's spring cleaning is cause you can finally open your

windows and you know, back in the day they would push the dust out and whatnot. That's true. But now you can, like, you know what? I think it's more like an organization. I'm just saying you can clean anytime, really. Yeah, you can. That's true. You can just organize a bit, then you can clean a bit. You can super clean in the spring or something, get all the dust out of it. Listen, you can still open your window for 15 minutes.

Like, whatever. It's like we say, you're not going to get a cold unless there's viruses in your house. Yeah, maybe the virus is already in the virus is in the house And when you open the window, then you let him the cold air gets in then you're done, dude How many viruses? You don't want to know the answer it's gonna scare you I think it's like a bajillion isn't it it is a lot of viruses We had Let's see, we get... How many, okay, oh, but how many viruses do you breathe in in a day?

Every day you breathe in over 100 million viruses. Yep. What the hell? Told ya, don't look it up it's gonna freak you out that's a lot of viruses yeah your body's just it dude those white little blood cells we don't thank him enough I've said this before they're

out there the blood cells are just punching viruses in the face like get out of here bro they're bouncers I like you're not in here you're not allowed in here the white blood shells are just like on the beach like oh another one pick it up very nice You're not allowed in here! The white blood shells are just like on the beach Like ooh another one pick it up very nice this one looks like a The I was gonna say seahorse doesn't make sense

I just say no, it's not too bad There's some cars on the road right now. There are some bears, could be Hank the Tank. They're walking down the road as well. So keep an eye out. There's also a monster going down the road and the old I-72.

Watch out for that one. I think he's trying to hunt the hunters. Back to you. Thanks, Cranador. By the way, today I was driving, trying to get to the office. I was behind this car and it was very clearly a lift driver Who was bringing people I think maybe from the airport and the back was filled with stuff and

It was I don't know three or four people in the car plus the driver. He's driving. I'm gonna say One-third the speed limit and I'm stuck behind him trying to get to the office and I'm just very patiently, very much like you playing video games, very patiently just like, all right, you know, we're going the same direction, this is what it's gonna be like.

And the closer we get to my office, the slower he starts to go because it's very obvious he's trying to find the address. And so he's looking at his phone, talking to the people, and I'm slowly losing patience because he's not doing that thing where it's like, well I'll pull over and let this guy pass. He's just in the middle of the road driving slow, kind of weaving and

then it's like, oh he's going to turn? Nope, he's decided not to turn. Oh he's going to turn? No, not now. Dude, we got within, I'm going to say, 40 feet of the turn I needed to go into the parking area for the office. I was just, he stopped in the middle of the road. I slammed on that horn so hard, I was like, aww. He looks out the window at, looked like, head out the window at me. And I just stared at him.

I was like, I don't need to fight you. I'm not gonna do anything. You are insane. Please just drive. So then he pulls over, I drive around him, go to pull the parking lot, and he, I think, forgot he was with people because he pulls up right behind me and starts yelling at me as I'm driving into the parking area.

I'm like, brother, you are on the job. Whatever, I'm like, brother, you are on the job. Whatever, I'm. He might have been my mid lane. He might have. I was, dude, that went on for 15 minutes I was stuck behind that guy. Like five minutes of that, fine. Maybe 10, a little pissed, but fine. It was the closer, it was like he was purposely put there

by the universe to make my day miserable. I was like, dude, just, if you don't know where you're going, pull off, figure out where you're going, and then go there. This dude was like, no, not going, no, not going there. Like, that's dangerous. I was, like, we're on a major road in this city. Unbelievable.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. Yeah, and I, it's moments like that where I realize I should just use my horn more often. Like it's there for a reason. It's there to alert other drivers, and I'm gonna alert you that I think you suck at driving. Yeah, it's, that did remind me though, because you said Lyft, it reminded... That did remind me though, because he said lift. It reminded me of Uber. And I remember last night, I was streaming, and some guy came in and he was like,

Yo, Krendor, I used to watch your Wild Machinimas. You're goated. You are pretty goated. Somebody said when you made Wild Machinima, did people say goated? And I said no. But they did say, uh, like epic. They said, uh, I need any, like I can has cheeseburger meme. Uh, or they said Uber like Uber elite. And that made me realize that Uber has gone from being like, uh, pretty much just like a word that was probably just barely used to being a word used online to being an actual thing for an app and

company. Yes, cool things consistently are ruined by companies. I cite meta as another one. There was meta narrative, meta fiction, meta like properties and then they came along and stole it and now anytime anyone says meta. It's Zuckerberg, and I hate that Yeah Company's a fan of meta fiction and fourth wall breaking cool stuff it angers me because anytime I'm like do it I love meta stuff, and they're like Facebook like Yeah, it doesn't even make sense meta. It's like a dumbass name I mean Google's companies called alphabet. You know that's all these companies are terrible at naming stuff

Yes, very much. I think Twitter becoming X Alright, honestly, I think it's ego stuff because they're like well Alphabet will forever be our brand and we will steal the alphabet or Elon's just like I want to control everything that has X because X is cool Did you see he like was playing path of exile, but it was clear somebody like super boosted him I watched that entire video. It is so obviously boosted It's the thing that said Elan's maps then he's just like yes I am playing hardcore on the hardest difficulty known as he like passes up

like perfect items for his build and he like tries to do stuff that no like experience item level was lower dude like it wasn't he needed higher item level you needed higher item level yeah yeah no that I mean already I didn't believe when he was like I'm one of the best Diablo players in the world. Don't believe that at all. Just absolutely don't. Like my man, you don't spend enough time not in front of a camera to be a Diablo player,

let alone be one of the best. Yeah, and it's like a normal person would have just been like, hey guys, you know, I'm trying out Path of Exile and like they're level 12. They're like, I don't get much time to play I'm doing stuff and people have been like wow that's you know pretty genuine but like obviously a super billionaires just

like yes I'm very good as somebody boosted my entire account. The man just wants everyone to think he's Tony Stark and it's like my dude Tony Stark is fake for a reason like you're not you're not that guy That's the traffic all right, let's go to weather weather we got 13 weather requests today and We are going to hold it down and we're going to land on hold it down

Didn't, my Canadian friends, didn't you guys used to have Subbies? Subbies? Or wasn't, ah man, there was another one too. You guys had something that wasn't Subway, and I feel like Subway probably killed them off. Subbies? They had a whole thing.

There's Mr. Sub. Oh, Mr. Sub is what it was, Mr. Sub. Subbies? Subbies was a thing though, dude. though dude. I don't think it is. It was, it was. It was Subbies and they had another one too. There was another one that I can't remember what it was called. It was like, damn. It was, oh man, it was, it was, this would have been in the 90s though. So I don't, or it would have been early 2000s when I lived in Buffalo and we go over to Toronto, and there was a I don't know what it's called it was like um I

Don't know something some other sub name. You know like Old Hoagieville or something. I don't know what it was. Something like that But yeah, it's interesting, because you can see there's one area of this town that's very much like, here's all the fast food places, and then you start to get a little bit outside, and then you're at like, question, how close are we to? Where are we at, where are we at?

New Brunswick, ah, okay, we got a lot of, I was about to say, there's a lot of cabweck cabweck cabweck You know what I'm a stop talking my throat hurts, I'm gonna just shut up You would have did that even if your throat didn't All right, that's weather. Sports! Sports. Welcome to sports. Yeah, this was NFL Playoff Day and... Yeah, it was.

Did not have fun. So the Baltimore Ravens beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. It happened already. Yeah, the Houston Texans beat the Chargers. The only thing that made that game fun was it was the Nickelodeon game. So I watched SpongeBob and Patrick commentate it. Fantastic. Buffalo crushed Denver.

Philadelphia beat the Packers and Packers were bad. Someone said, Can't make this up. My neighbor is from Philly and is a die hard Eagles fan. I show up at 320 for the game. This dude is jumping like a mad man talking about, We got the pack. We beat him. I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about, homie? Turns out he watched the show and he was like,

I'm not gonna do this about we got the pack we beat him I'm like what the fuck are you talking about homie turns out he watched a replay of week one matchup and thought it was a live game stay out of the whiskey people I don't know how that's possible but I

think that's funny dude was soed, he thought a week one replay was the actual game. Bless his sweet soul. I mean that guy, he was feeling real good there. Yeah, you know, he got to see two wins in one day. Look at that. Yeah, if anything, he was right. He was right. He could have been seen in the future. Yeah. The Washington commanders are currently up 7-3 on the Buccaneers about to go into halftime as they're recording this. And the Rams and the Vikings play tomorrow and that game has been moved to Arizona because of fires. Then we have NBA standings, Cleveland in first place by a decent amount and the

Thunder in first place by a decent amount. Cool. Then we have the NHL standings where we've got the Capitals atop the East and then the Maple Leafs Devils, Hurricanes, Panthers up there as well and then you got the Jets atils, Hurricanes, Panthers up there as well and then you got the Jets atop the west with the Golden Knights, Wild, Stars, Oilers, Kings, Avalanche all up there as well. East seems, or West seems a lot more

competitive in the east. And then don't look now, we're only two months away from baseball. Alright, cool. That's sports. Alright! What is our fact of the day? Fact of the day. Fact of the day. Yep. The Barbie Doll's full name is

Barbara Millicent Roberts from Willows, Wisconsin. Her birthday is March 9th. Whoa whoa Barbie's from Wisconsin? Yes. Barbie is from Willows Wisconsin. Her birthday is March 9th 1959 when she was first displayed at the New York Toy Fair. Do you think Barbie wishes people would call her Barbara? She's like I'm an adult now. Barbie is what you call me when I was 17. I She's like, I'm an adult now. Barbie is what you call me when I was 17. I have a job, I'm an attorney or flight attendant

or pilot or chef or construction worker or movie star. I'm all of those things, I'm Barbara. Wait, hold on. The city isn't real? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be real. Why not? Because it's a why you don't want Barbie to come from a real place then people like you know but like you gotta pay us for that. Who do you pay in the city? Maybe I don't know how it works. I'm not I know what I do either. I just assumed it was like some small town where the woman who created Barbie was from I

didn't think it was actually It says Willows, Wisconsin is a fictional city in the US state of Wisconsin it is the setting of Barbie and her sisters in the great puppy adventure and Barbie and her sister's puppy rescue the The mayor of the town is Mayor Jenkins. Willows is famous for its willow trees. Oh they all came from one single willow tree. There's a city- what? Whoa whoa whoa whoa what? This is on the Barbie movies fandom wiki by the way. Oh that's good that's good to know. Yeah it says Willows is famous for its willow trees they all came from one single willow tree like what is this like the gangus con of willow trees?

I guess The amount of time that would have taken Naturally for one willow tree to disseminate into it whole towns with the willow trees I feel like would have taken quite some time Yeah, very long time. How would they know that this one willow tree was the willow tree, was the progenitor of all other willow trees? Yeah, they don't know that. I mean, Barbie does, because Barbie's a scientist as well, so.

There's a city hall, a clock tower, an ice cream shop, and a now closed dance studio named Miss Melody's Dance Studio. There's also a festival. In this fake town. In this fake town, yes. You're telling me the dance studio couldn't make it in the fake town Yeah, I guess what's Barbie what's Barbie left to go to Hollywood with skipper There was no one left to the town to go to the dance studio. So they had to shut down

That's a shame. She killed it. Plus. I like how they point out. There's a City Hall Okay, a clock tower which I feel like is just right next to the City Hall Sure, or maybe even part of it. An ice cream shop, alright, and then the closed dance studio. So this town is literally just a city hall, a big clock, and an ice cream place. I mean that's all he needs. Yeah, that's a no grocery store. Barbie clearly doesn't eat, so no grocery store.

The ice cream is just there so she can get skipper to shut the hell up and Ken You know he's probably from out of town, so it's cool wait hold on then it says there's a festival named Willowfest and Lake Willows Lake Willows has a willow tree shaped fountain nearby that people put coins into There are several plaques around into there are several plaques around what are they getting these coins who's making the coins city hall is it real money I don't know is it real money this fake town is it fake money for fake town

I have no idea there's several plaques around the town with Willow's emblems on them that could be used to find the treasure that the founding fathers of Willow's head okay I'm back I'm back in With Willows emblems on them that can be used to find the treasure that the founding fathers of Willows hid Okay, I'm back. I'm back in this is some national treasure shit This really hits The founding fathers of Willows are characters in Barbie and her sisters in the great puppy adventure. They founded Willows, Wisconsin

Where are they from also? what was the great puppy adventure? I don't know, let's see. It doesn't sound like it has a lot to do with finding treasure unless that treasure is friendship and cute puppies. Otherwise, I don't... I don't know that puppies have a lot to do with a hidden treasure. It says it was released in 2015 It was a TV premiere on Nickelodeon in 2015. It's where Barbie and her sisters Skipper, Stacey, and Chelsea and their adorable new puppy friends find unexpected mystery and adventure when they return to their hometown of Willows.

While going through mementos and grandma's attic, the sisters discover an old map believed to lead to a long lost treasure buried somewhere in the town with their puppy pals They go on an exciting treasure hunt along the way discovering the greatest treasure of all is love and laughter That's not true, but also Barbie's grandma is a stone cold Fox. What the hell? Grandma Roberts they were like yeah, she looks like Barbie, but she's got got gray hair but she's gorgeous get the hell out of here Wow she really does just look like Barbie with gray hair crazy also there can't be that many places in the town this treasure can be there's like five things in the town she's like wow we're gonna be one of like five locations plus where did the founding fathers just stay at City Hall?

Do you think it's under the oldest willow tree? Honestly, it probably is, not even joking. There's one plaque opens a tunnel near the clock tower, which leads to a cave and an underground lake and the treasure vault. Oh, there it is. There's an underground lake in the fake town? Yes, an underground lake. With the willow tree? Yeah, how is there an underground lake here? This seems insane.

Anyway, the town's fake and it's not real. At least not that we know of. Toooooo! And that's the sports? Back to the day. Back to the day. Not sports. Better not be sports. We are way off track. I'm lost. Alright, well get us back on because we have got people who have come to us with tears in their eyes

That's true. Here we go winding up Dear illustrious sirs, I come to you with tears in my eyes on my knees with a hypothetical Conundrum I need your endless wisdom in solving Jesse Yoshi P comes to you crendor Chris Mets P comes to you, Krendor, Chris Metzen comes to you. Wait, what? I feel like... They're both the same. They're both the creator of the thing we play. Yeah. Both with a similar problem. They want you to design the next expansion of WoW and Final Fantasy.

Final Flannessy? Yup, yup, yup. Respectfully, to hook your co-host to the game and get them to come back. How do you design it? Oh, Krendor's is easy. That's not fair. That's an easy one. Yeah, that's like make a good story and I'd be like, okay, I'm back. Literally just make a story where all the characters actually matter in some way and have some sort of interesting reason for what they're doing and dreadlords are now involved.

Sure, Jaina is and has always been a dreadlord. I'm in. To get Krendor to play Final Fantasy XIV, the next expansion, the one that will get Krendor to play is called Hero Hunter. That's the next expansion. You play as all the Final Fantasy monsters from the past. You play as you're a Marlboro, you're a, you know, a behemoth, you're a Tonberry, you're anything but the hero and you just murder beautiful cat girls the entire time. Crendor would play. You know what? I probably would check that game out.

He'd give it a shot. Yeah. I got to give him what he wants. As long as I'd be able to fish as well. Oh yeah. Oh, that him what he wants. As long as I'd be able to fish as well. Oh yeah, that's all you do besides that. Okay, perfect, yeah, that's how you gear up to go fight. You just catch all your gear. You put on fish scales, and then yeah, of course. Honestly, that would be a great game.

Fishing warrior. You just sit and you fish, and you fish up all your gear, and then you can go use that gear in combat and that gets you new fishing equipment And you just go back and forth you really should just start making games You need to become a billionaire so you can just fund this I really do I would fund some unbelievable games It would be unbelievable. That's true dude. I'm telling you fishing warrior would do numbers Hilarious Dude, I'm telling you, Fishing Warrior would do numbers. Fishing Warrior is a hilarious name. All right.

Then the other one. Dear illustrious sirs, with tears in my eyes, I beseech you, with 2025 officially giving us Gen Beta, what would you name future generations if you could each name the next four generations? Oh? My god, that's right. The next gen is gen beta, which is hilarious good luck um I would say I Name it after like cool things the previous generation thought was cool So everyone's scarred for life you know so like

Whatever the generation before you thought was a cool thing The next gen has to suffer with you know yeah, so that's an alpha is all about the skibbity, so it's Jen skibbity Right and so good right Jen why um? What's the Jen why thing? Probably like Uber Leats, so Gen Uber Leats, you know what I mean? That kind of thing. Gen Z, you know, they had their own crap,

which I'm sure would have been like, I don't know, Gen SpongeBob would be the next one. I don't even know, who knows? But I feel like that's what we should do. Yeah, Gen X, the next generation after that would be like Gen Nirvana. I think it would be good. That's pretty good. I would just

start naming them after dinosaurs. Gen Seratops. Gen Tyrannosaurus Rex. You can't even say T-Rex. It has to be Gen Tyrannosaurus Rex. I think has to be, you can't even say T-rex, it has to be Gen-tyranosaurus rex. I think it should be Gen-asaurus rex. That's pretty good too. Right, Gen-asaurus rex, Gen-seratops, you know.

Gen, just like really random dinosaurs too, like Gen-alamosaurus, Gen-agadeptosaurus. Yeah. Gen-teradactyl. Gen-teradactyl. Oh yeah. Yeah, I can't be Gentarodactyl because it's already that's the full thing. Gentodactyl, Gendactyl, something like that. There's gotta be something. Gendactyl, yep. Gentosaurus, come on now. That's a yep. Yeah, I would just do all dinosaurs. I'm with you on this. I like that. That's good. Look at that. Those are really good. Look at those. Yeah

And that's your dear illustrious, sir. What is our big news story of the day? Experts issue warning about falling iguanas in florida they're back and they're falling well of course it's florida where else would it be it's gonna happen biologist Joe was a loose he warned it's gonna happen it's gonna happen deal with it they're gonna be falling deal with it if it's in the fifties they're slow if it's in the 50s, they're slow.

If it's in the 40s, they're on the brink of falling. And if it's in the 30s, they're down. Oh, it's the cold weather that you guys are all having on the East Coast and Central States. Yeah. And so the cold is gonna make them just free because they're cold blooded. Ah, it all checks out.

Okay, I've got it. I love it. When temperatures drop in Florida, so do the iguanas. Meteorologists are predicting a cold spell in Florida and other parts of southeast throughout the next week and with a potential rise in falling iguanas. The cold-blooded creatures commonly live in treetops in the sunshine state but tend to pass out when the temperatures drop. As a result, the hibernating lizards lose their grips on branches or rooftops and fall to the ground. Considering that iguanas can grow up to 5 feet long and weigh up to 25 pounds, it's no wonder that experts are issuing warnings about the chance of injury from the falling reptiles.

I gotta be honest, getting hit by a falling iguana, not a great way to go. That would be a terrible way to go. It's embarrassing. What do you do at the funeral? Like, well, it was his time. Like, I don't know, what did an iguana hit him? That would be the most Florida death I think you could have. It really would.

He was out back drinking a beer, looking at Gator videos when an iguana landed on him. Took him out. Took him out. Crazy just took him right out. Joe Weslewski said falling iguana season is often a shock to snowbirds and transplants. When it gets cold like this it's funny to see those who aren't from here see the news people talk about the iguanas falling from trees, but it can and will happen. Michael Ronchio, a professional iguana remover, suggests people minimize the chance of falling iguanas by trimming back trees from rooftops, wrapping trees with material that creatures can grip, or by installing fake owls. I love the fact that there's a man who is a professional iguana remover.

I was going to say, there's something really funny about that. Like that is- His tips aren't like, you know, this will help the iguana or whatever. Dude is like, wrap your tree, put a fake owl up there, cut your trees down, whatever. Good tips. I like that the fake owls work they really do because animals are stupid yeah stupid animals stupid animals what

type of animal would watch something and get confused by it and not realize that it's fake so anyway this past week I saw a video of the Hollywood Sun on fire and I sent it to Alex and I was like, yo what the hell? And he was like, that's fake dude. And it was. So, yeah, what kind of stupid animals?

Yeah what kind of stupid animals? Ooh, TikTok. If you do run into a passed out iguana, run Keo suggests calling a professional rather than removing it yourself. Soon as it warms up, it's gonna start moving normally again. If they are cornered, they will defend themselves. They'll try to tail whip you. Dude, it's like Pokemon.

They can whip their tails at 30 miles an hour. Woo, damn, that's fast. They have very sharp teeth, sharp nails. So if you don't got experience, don't attempt to grab them. I, what would you put the odds at at like a month and a half from now we get a story of a man battling an iguana that fell into his house I would say hi I'm gonna in Florida hi drugs will be involved hundred percent yeah I would say it's like 75% Yeah, that seems likely

I was walking around then boom fell through the window It was on drugs my drugs. I wasn't having none of that so I started punching him He ain't taking my drugs. He tried to claw me then he tail-whipped me I had to to run out of house but I got my drugs he owns the house now though then I went to jail because I had drugs I called the cops they arrested me that's dude I swear if that story pops up and it's anywhere even near similar to that I I'm gonna be pretty happy.
