145: Pączki Patter

Me so horny, me so horny. Again. Me show you.

Hello and welcome to unrelenting. I am Darren O'Neill. He is live. And I can tell you the Canadians wanted to take their sport back. They didn't. I mean, they won in the little like. What is this all about? I don't know what is I that my brain hurt that the NHL in the middle of the season. I mean getting towards the end of the season, decided that they were going to play a Four Nations exhibition game with Canada, the United States, Finland and some of the US and Canada was.

It was an interesting game. It was a very well-played game. The participants on both sides performed admirably. It was the first hockey I've watched in about a year or so. It's the first hockey worth watching for a while. That is probably also true that I mean, especially here in Chicago. I mean, if you're got a favorite team, the Blackhawks haven't really been lighting the world on fire.

So I was intrigued. I, I showed up for the national anthem because I wanted to see if there was going to be booing. And there was a little, although I'm not sure if they, we know the technology is there to edit it out, but I haven't seen anybody that was at the game. Post a TikTok. It's poignant and thought of that, you know, because I was wondering what was expected, especially in Boston.

Crowd was expecting a lot more boos. So this is what I've noticed. This was on ESPN, but I noticed this with Fox watching baseball games like a decade ago when they did the game of the week. And so you'd be watching. Usually I'd only watch those if it was the White Sox at the time. And when the other team would get a home run or a hit big hit, you'd hear a lot of cheering and it's like wait a minute. They were piping it and it was all fake.

So I wonder yeah yeah they wanted these were pretty real for yeah. For hockey. Yes. Well hockey fans like to boo. One of the other these days. I mean, it's funny because, they, they feel like, like their country is soon to be a state. And for some reason, they're against that.

But one. Well, I think it's humorous when outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau makes the post on social media. And I understand Trump posts a lot of bloviating things, but he post like, yo, you can't take our sport. And I'm thinking we have taken your sport for decades. The NHL sport, it's the epitome of hockey and it's based in the United States. There's two Canadian teams and they're barely.

Yeah, yeah, I know you could walk over the border, then you have Edmonton, but that we have taken your sport. The United States had the hockey league that the world looks to, that all of the top players go to is the United States NHL. There's no hockey league in Canada. That's like, whoa, we are the best of the best. No, they all come here. We have taken your sport, little Justin. A long time ago. So I just thought that was kind of funny. Like who do you mean you dumb ass.

But yeah I don't, I don't know what they mean by our sport though. Well they mean it's like the I think hockey is to Canada what baseball is to America.

Although Ricky is just ice polo. It's been around forever without the horses. No, no, no, not the kind with horses. The kind without the horses. Oh, well, now I want to see hockey with horses. Yeah. No, you don't believe me. There would be blood spilled like you've never seen before. It will be. You'll have my. And gods, the surfacing on top of the ice rink going. What's going on here? Like you thought that was a good idea? Yeah. The Kentucky Derby on ice. No, but I remember going.

And I think we have talked about that before. You're going to Black Hawk games. Back when I was a kid, and the crowd would love to boo. They were rowdy. Especially when your team would come in.

Your Minnesota team would come in. Now, back then, that would have been the North Stars. Yes. The Minnesota Minnesota team. No, no. The what's it, the wild or something now. Yeah. It's like that was a very weird thing too. It's like when the North Stars moved to Dallas and then all of a sudden another team popped up in Minnesota. It's like, why did you move? It was very strange. But when I moved to Dallas, she was like, I gotta follow my team. Yeah. Pretty much.

Yeah, let's get my hockey fix you like. But there is there ice in Texas. And then your learn there is that I lived a mile away from the, stars arena. Oh, so you definitely were a season ticket holder. You were showing up? Yeah. Having fun. I remember the minute the first person came out of the locker room from the Minnesota North Stars, the Dino Six chant began. I loved Dino Rally, man. I'm sure he was a really nice guy, but the minute the North Stars hit the

ice, Dino sucks. Dino was cause so much fun. Yeah.

It was, well, ice hockey back in the 80s. Was really. It was the start of the me. It was the bright, brutal. It was fun. Yeah. I mean, it was it is a basically a game about guys beating the crap out of each other on the ice with some pucks going back and forth occasionally. Can they like each other overall, which is also the fun part about it.

Well, let's put it this way. They certainly dislike non hockey players. Well, they're but I love the videos where the guys are miked up and a lot of people don't understand. You can't just start a one sided hockey fight. That is not the way it goes. It's not like one guy can just start beating the crap out of the other one. No, they both have to drop their gloves.

There is a rule for the how the fight must begin, and a lot of times when they're miked up, they're just so polite, like, hey, you want to go? All right, good luck to you. How's your family out there? They start. Punches are flying around right now. You're definitely talking about Canadians. Yeah. Yes. Very polite. Before they, Before they start to assault you. Yeah. Would you like me to pitch? Would you like me to kick your ass? Hey, hey, hey, I'm just. All right.

Hey, see what you got? Hey, you know, they're done, and then they're both in the penalty box talking to each other like, hey, I gotta work on the one. That was great. I was like, I gotta work on my cardio. But to be fair, about half the Minnesota team was Canadian. Yeah. You know, like, literally, I mean, so, I mean, this is why when you're playing USA versus Canada, I feel like you're seeing a lot of the same people that, you know, it's there when they're in the NHL.

That's where they exist. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there's a reason for it because, you know, naturally when you're a kid, even whether you want to or not, when there's ice on the ground for nine months a year, like, you know, it's what else? You get to play hockey. It's there. It's easy. Yeah. Okay. Now, the funny thing is that, I've got a buddy from, Minnesota, although, well, sort of from Minnesota. His dad's from Minnesota.

He was born in California, and he lives in California, but he sends his kid, both of his boys, in fact, to, to play hockey there on the hockey team out in, California. And I always give him shit about, like, what? You know, what's the electric bill in California for cooling down an ice skating rink? Yeah. It's got to be, like, in the millions, not just hundreds of thousands. That's why I think it's funny that professional hockey exists. And there's.

There are more teams in Arizona, and Texas than there are in all of Canada. So yeah I've, I've been to a couple of rinks here. So yeah it's I think but honestly I think it's mostly just transplants.

Oh I'm sure it's people that kind of grew up with hockey and one hockey now. I haven't been I haven't had a pair of skates on and been on ice now for a few decades. Let's just say since the recumbent bike years, way before the recumbent bike years, maybe you can put skates on the recumbent bike blades. They have that. They have that? Yeah. Then you could look like Santa Claus once the beard goes fully white. So just. Yeah. I'm not that far away, lady.

I get a few years and I will literally be a Santa Claus. I'm all Santa. I've been looking forward to that as my retirement job. To be the greatest mall Santa ever. Oh, I've got the personality for it. You just want people be grabbing your beard. They be pulling out. I love the kids. Well, I, I'm, Yeah. What? You what? You have your mom come over here and sit on Santa's lap with you. Granny spry. Come on, my boy. I met a Santa years ago at a gun range, which is where you would normally meet them.

Now, that's where Santas hang out during the year. Apparently, when that's not Santa's season, Santa's got to be packing, man. He's got a lot. I was always thinking, believe me, why do you think he's so cheerful and smiling? And so I met this guy, and he just looked like Santa Claus. And I said, what do you. What do you do for a living, sir? And he says, well, a little boy, I, I deliver presents. I said, really, that's a hell of a job.

So he gave me the lowdown and, Santa and, well, this is back. Would have been back in the 90s. Late 90s. He was making about 500 bucks a night or coming to a party of Santa Claus. That's not particularly bad for money. That's. That's easily over a thousand bucks. Probably like 1200 bucks for being Santa at a party. Yeah. You going to get a tip? You're going to find the Lauren Graham type from, but you're mostly going to be drinking booze. I think that's kind of the the deal, Santa.

That's how you get drunk for the Santa Claus? Yeah. Pretty much. Yeah, yeah. So I, I've ever since that moment, like 30 years ago, I've been thinking to myself, you know, I'd make pretty good Santa. And the natural Santa is they like the the ones without the fake beards and whatnot. Definitely get a, better money than the fake kind. Well, I would hope so. You're adding a lot of authenticity to the role, and you can't be a skinny Santa either.

So Gene finally has a reason, like, hey, this is this is for my work, I take it. Yeah, yeah. No sense is are big boned. So, you know, what do you do? Yeah. I mean, diabetes can make you money. Finally, I believe me, Santa has diabetes. There's no trees around it.

Okay, that's a great line. By the way. Santa has diabetes. Yeah. What are you with? The minute you said it, I'm thinking Christmas songs. Brand new classic. Leaving out the cookies for Santa. Making his blood sugar rise. Yeah, you've got to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right there, there. There's guy. Hey, I can break that up right now. Yeah, we can make a million. You got to split that with me. We're going to make $1 million come holiday season. Santa got to this

Thanksgiving. Boy. Yeah, Rudolph's got the, What was that, an EpiPen with the diabetics. There's the, similar thing, though, like, kind of if he go into. Yeah, there's insulin pens. Yeah. There you go. So Rudolph got the insulin pad. I mean, the song kind of writes itself. It's not just because it's like 20 degrees, and it's been lower than that for the last week that we're thinking of Santa Claus. Either. Is it? It is. It was 20 degrees here yesterday. Nice. No, no, not at all.

Are you in Moscow now? Are you still. You're back in Austin?

I mean, in Austin. It was 20 degrees. When I mean. Oh, okay. Yeah. Not the motherland. Cold, cold weather. No, no, flights are still restricted. Saying I got diabetes, sir, I can do navy. And I had a lot of hockey players get their American citizenship to save on taxes. Because the tax rate is so low in Canada, it makes sense.

Like, yeah, we all know American taxes are not aiming to really write home about either. Well come on Doge baby. They're going to send everybody $5,000. Yeah yeah whatever that is. And I love that there are Democrat cats, including, the woman out of Texas, Jasmine Crockett, who was asked about. Do you think that's a good idea? The, you know, giving people $5,000. And she went on a rant of how the government isn't there to give out handouts. And I'm like, honey here, Democrat.

What are you talking about? This is the genius of Trump. He's got the Democrats saying the government isn't there to give handouts. It's genius. Genius, I like that. Yeah, it's hilarious too. I mean, really, the Democrats will say virtually anything they don't think before talking as long as it opposes whatever Trump said. Great. You know, he could say, I don't know, pick something that's historically a Democrat position. Like Trump would say, all black people are fine, folks.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And Democrats, much to their historical truth, would say black folks. Why you can't trust them to, pick cotton.

Remember what Joe Biden said of Barack Obama? That he was a clean. Yeah, yeah, it's getting really clean. Boy, what are you talking about? He's almost like a house type. Not a field type man. And those things the, mainstream media just ignores, they let it go. But Donald Trump, they work so hard to take things out of context. Oh yeah I mean they're getting good at it. Absolutely. Clip it out of context. Yeah. And you know you got it on CNN.

But it's amazing that they've never with any of the things Trump has done. And he's only been in office for 32 days. I think it is today. It's just over a month. Yeah. Never once did they say something he did was good for the country. Not one of the things Donald Trump has done, according to MSNBC or CNN.

And I'm sure the papers of records like the WaPo and the New York Times, although the WaPo may be coming around now that Bezos was like, oh, Trump, we like you. Well, Bezos is in a weird spot. I think he realizes that, Elon Musk just beat him on every count possible.

He he beat them to being, a position of power. He beat them on rockets. He beat them on for pretty much everything there. A lot more baby mamas too. But he's got way more of those. Yeah. Although the you know, Bezos is working on the second job probably eyeing his third now probably like oh this is a competition. Yeah. But Bezos is also, you know, he gave a lot of money up when he, divorce the first time Musk didn't. So you saying Musk get a prenup? He had a boy. But a prenup? Yeah.

Very smart, I don't I don't think Bezos had a prenup because they were married before Amazon. And Musk just seems to be having so much fun. The president of Tina yesterday was having sex. Oh, yeah. The president of Argentina gave him a very nice chainsaw.

Nice. And that's awesome. The people on the left are just freaking out about it. A sweater, I swear. Because, I guess the meme, Elon, you know, with the dark sunglasses and gold chains. You know, he promised to dress up like that Fauci pack if Trump wanted. Of course he did. So Musk did, and then he was given the chainsaw.

So there's some great photos of Elon on in the pimp daddy chains and sunglasses and holding up the chainsaw, which is just a I mean, that's not your right out of the box chainsaw was like beautiful and shiny. It looks like it's ready to cut waste. Yeah, look at those photos. I didn't see that. I didn't watch the the, interview with Hannity where Trump basically talked about how good Musk is for an hour. We have the left is like, this is a Donald Trump cucked by Elon Musk.

Like, yeah, I don't the real president of the United States. Right. Because the South Africans well ought to be happy about that. We got another African president right. You wanted more diversity. There you go. Yeah. More diversity is good. I think we're gonna know if if Elon's actually running the country, if you have sent troops to South Africa, that will be the determining factor.

Well, the situation there has been you think it's crazy in Ukraine. It's been crazy in South Africa for a while. That crazy Ukraine. Ukraine is just like everybody who has any brain cells that are active right now at all, knows that Ukraine is just the current military testing facility. It's being all we're doing, testing different weapons by a dictator, the crap out of uses to have elections that Trump points out to and that drove the land. He did point that out.

And I said checkmate as a reply to that. All you Ukrainian slag posting little pussies on X, where do y'all go?

And I remember we had the story when it happened. I don't remember the details, but, you know, I'm sorry, Elon. There's a Freudian slip. President Elon Zelinsky shut down the, wasn't there a an opposition party and some media that was he shut down everything. He shut down Christianity because it was opposed to war. Well, religion. And so he closed churches down. Yeah. Very dangerous. Those anti-war bro God people.

And then, you know, officially, they now say they, they lost half the money that was allegedly sent to them. So about $150 billion of us taxpayer money. I mean, that was a beautiful meme that Zelensky wants $20 billion to find $100 billion. Yeah, yeah. How about no he did. There's billions because that's the other thing. It's driving me nuts with O'Reilly. He was talking about millions sent to Ukraine and it's like dude it's billions. I know it sounds crazy to anybody that's paying attention.

Yeah but billions of dollars and you wonder it's. Yeah. The people it's it's a funding this are going to it's about $1,000 per person in the United States that was sent to Ukraine.

The people are like, why are we funding this? We do not want to fund this. And there's according to well, now they are they weren't that earlier. According to big Bill O'Reilly, who, whether David Miller likes them or not, he is friends with Donald Trump is a direct connection. He knows things. Other people. Everybody says that. But literally every reporter says it. But he can prove it. He's got the receipt. He said that Putin has

already agreed to a major concession, which is to allow Ukraine to join the EU, but not NATO. That's not going to happen. Well, not the NATO thing or the EU thing. No, it's the EU is not going to happen. They said it. It's going to happen. This is we're going out of the book right here. It's Bill O'Reilly versus Jean-Yves Le. Let's put a marker. Yeah, yeah. All right. There's no dick. He has news for a long time. Well, take in Ukraine and, Putin is okay with that.

That is allegedly part of the deal that is in the works that will be coming to. Well, I don't know if the mainstream media will ever report on it. If it happens, even they would report on it. That would never happen anyway, because the

the Ukrainian territory is owned by the US corporations right now. Part of the part of the deal that we got was mineral rights, not the EU but US. So American companies own that ground. They own whatever they want to extract out of their. So Europe has nothing to do with this. Well, the E.U. deal will probably come in once the mineral rights have been scraped clean. And they're like, okay, here you go. Here's the carcass. Well, yeah, in 20 years, maybe here's the carcass of Ukraine.

Well, none of this stuff moves fast. It's not like, well, you can join the EU. It's not like usually it's not magically a somebody snapping their fingers and going, well, you're now in the EU. There's a process, in this process, it just happened to be long enough for us to take every last little mineral we can find out of Ukraine for two decades.

So, yeah, it's, Yeah, you got to remember that there's a lot of a lot of promises that were tied to the money coming in. Now, the EU, on the other hand, they only have one promise tied to money they sent over, which is repayment. The US did not provide loans. The US provided actual funding. Yeah, they wanted to help. Europe provided loans, which was smart and therefore us. But Ukraine and Europe gave a loan to a country that doesn't really exist.

Okay. Now assuming that the US does have the mineral rights over who got the better deal, there, well, the better deal would have been from every country that didn't put any money into this. Those countries got a better deal, one that we're like, we're not going to be involved. Yeah, pretty much. But the Lynskey is such a nice comedian. He is a great leader of a country. Yeah. It's like putting Steve Martin in charge. No no no no he's not a Steve Martin quality comedian.

You're right, you're right. And Steve Martin would probably be a way better dictator. Probably would. Yeah. Yeah. No I think he'd be more like, let's think of a comedian who's done zany, probably more like the Will Ferrell type. That's even better. That's funny. You know, the, kind of like a Michael Scott character in The office. In the office? That kind of Zelinski. I mean, they should kind of do a spoof of, Oh, yeah.

Yeah, like The Office, but they have it. Michael Scott could probably play Zelensky. He's got a big in nose as well. There you go. There you go. Be good. I watch that show with Steve Carell. Yes. It's not it's not Michael Scott. Well, we understood what you meant. Yeah. It's, if you if it wasn't tragic for the number of men who died, it would be funny that. That said, Zelensky is more like a cross-dressing cocaine gay comedian. So more like Andy Dick.

Well, Okay. I, I see where he's going with that. But Zelenskyy did have way more fame and, notoriety free any of this stuff pre politics as a comedian than Andy Dick ever did. Oh, well, he was on that, news radio show. That was his big break with Joe Rogan. Which one came out? The other side had better stay. No. Which one did cocaine the entire time they were there? Oh, probably. Had he decades. I don't think Rogan did.

I mean, he may have done some, but at some point Rogan now, if you had done some, he would have still been doing it. Yeah. This is the great political content that people come to this show for.

They never know when they're going to get it because sometimes you don't get any at all. Yeah, we break down the world and the way that only we can. Yeah. I mean, we're a real podcast because we we're not a clip show. We are a real podcast. We have full anal action. According to John C track, who for some reason always calls analysis on his clips for no agenda anal and well, yeah, really. So that's been the thing over the last bunch of shows, their label.

Then Adam gets annoyed because all these clips say anal and they're short for analysis, but it's like, there you go, this we are all anal on this show really is. So here he means anal, not anal. Right. Well, I mean, it's good for comic abuse. Yeah. If you're Andy Dick maybe if you're shortening analysis for on if you're clips to a and al I mean you could cut back. What else would you shorten it to.

I guess just a and a or a and L you know probably come up with something basic for all the clips that say fisting on them. But those are seven analysis clips that are a totally for a different, show, though. Oh, okay. That's for no agenda after dark for, yeah, the ultra, the paid version, the paywall version, the one they swear doesn't exist. There's crap, but. Right. Was on that one site. Yes. After Dark, where you get to hear the hosts of No Agenda Unplugged and unhinged.

Yeah. So I canceled my subscription to Tempur after dark. No way. You're no longer giving Jim Pool Russian money. I know right? So now he he can legally say no more Russian money received, is he? Now, when you cancel things like that, I'm always intrigued by the process that then follows, because there are some companies that will just never contact you ever again. Yeah. That's, that's pretty much them. They're not one of these like, oh, no, we're sorry to see you go. Oh, no, no. Come back.

They're not that sophisticated I am I, I laugh every time I see it, which is why I don't care that I can't probably scrub and get rid of the emails. When I bought one of my, from probably the first pistol that I bought my sig Sauer, it came with a year of the NRA membership.

And ever since that expired, like every day. Okay. Yeah. You get a message. Yeah. And or maybe it's every couple of days but it is very consistent. And they always say this is your last chance. This is your last chance at probably a million emails telling me it's my last chance to do that. You know that doesn't work. It works because it's not really my last chance, but it works. I'll have another last chance to you, right? Otherwise they wouldn't do it. You're right.

There's it's got to be something that is still cost some money.

Remember that to send out. Well, yeah. Emails are not free at that quantity. No, no. You know, and and it's not just NRA, it's all gun groups because I've joined all of them at one point or another. I've started a few. I've joined them all, I yeah. And I, and I still run the NRA group on LinkedIn. You still the NRA white tracksuit. Subgroup that is the people that go to the gun range in the white Adidas tracksuit. They're hard to keep clean. Well, there may be powder.

They may be people that do that. Yes of course. And yeah, but that's you know, what's wrong with that? It works. There is a frozen trap. Where did they see this? It was something. Oh, somebody did a, a photo of of Putin sitting, squatting in a white tracksuit. And, I was like, damn, let's I'm going to make this my, my background screen on my computer.

You like this is such a good photograph. It is it it's a good eye, man. For sure. It is. Vladi doing the thing that all Russian guys do. Well, the Mossad, the government guys. Yeah. To be fair, most don't go the full monty that you did, which was then to buy multiple guns that match the white tracksuit. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah I mean some people would call that a little game but we'll see. I think it's, I think it's actually the little gay thing is added to by you saying, why don't fire those guns?

They're just for show time, right? I know, well, it's a pain in the ass to clean.

Wait, guns. So the the white guns are just accessories, really. But I do have quite a few of them, though. They look like stormtrooper weapons. They do. They really kind of do. Like, if you're more into the nerdy, geeky side, then they definitely look like stormtrooper weapons. And they're they're hard to find. A lot of companies will only put out like one run of them ever, and then not make anymore because nobody buys them except a Russian man. I don't know, man, I don't.

I think the gay Russian men by the pink ones. Oh. Oh, sorry. With the little fur like Z.z top Bradley guitars. That's how they say. There you go. Yeah, yeah, but then they want. I think there's a small group of people that buy white guns, that's for sure. And you are in that group. So what do you call yourselves?

I think it's the, what was the there was an acronym for it, for the group, the, the communists spelled with the K selector, spelled with a K. I can't remember the last letter that that says there are seafoam blue guns as well. Is that true? There's a few color variants, but I mean, I guess generally we make anything, but is that like, no, a normal release?

Well, I'm not counting the the 3D printed shit that people do, because you literally can make any color if you want, if you print your own gun,

but well, or you can actually you in dip it like in the electrocoating stuff that my buddy sells. I mean, you can dip it in anything and make any color and plastic dips. Well does it? It is a yeah. Well, they have a special like I have no idea how it works because I understand what electroplating is, but they have this stuff and I have no idea how it works, but they. Yes, it can adhere to, plastic and other materials. I have no idea how it works. It's like mythical, magical stuff.

You wait. Dots show more gunshot residue. Asks Omega project. Probably. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. You gotta clean that thing. You gotta really just wipe it and just. Yeah, there's a lot of put a lot of wrist action into keeping that thing clean and shiny. Jesus Christ, as all show, I see Brooklyn did us, send us a boost doing the last show on this one. We want to know if you were watching the new season of Mythic Quest. Is that. Oh, I didn't know it was, I will I I'll tell you this.

I loved the first season. Was this a show? So video game? Yeah, yeah yeah, show was awesome. First season was you watched the the 32nd season was pretty, pretty crap.

It's like they found it and they they just didn't do much on there. But the first season was very good. So if they have a third season don't now I guess I'll definitely watch that. Siefert improved though. Yeah. Because one of the for you right. The first season was good. It was an Apple TV product right? I think it was that I don't I don't recall because that was one of the things we watched with the, wood.

We got our three year or whatever it was. Well, I mean, I'm not paying for the stupid apple thing because they just started the new season of, severance. Severance? Yeah. Which I enjoy. You know, there are torrent sites, allegedly. Apple did give me 90 days of free Apple Music, but I haven't even, like, tried it yet, so I guess I should do that before it runs out. Yeah. Do you lose anything good there? But if there is a new Mythic Quest, I mean, that was.

Didn't the old guy die that was in there? Yeah. The the guy that played Salieri. Yes. What's his name? I forget his name, but I thought that was a pretty good. They actually killed him on the show. So that was a good part of season two is they they actually wrote in his death for real? Because he can't come back, I guess not. Maybe for now. Probably will eventually. Yeah. I just write the thing. Yeah, I thought they did a really good job of capturing that whole milieu.

The people that were just being paid to sit in a room and play video games more or less,

they tried to come up with the new ideas. Yeah. How do we make them? Actually, you know, there was maybe. Maybe I'm too harsh on season two, because the other thing that I thought was funny in there, was the episode they did, which I think was in season two and that season one that went back to the 1970s. Oh yeah, that was very well done. And I hate that was like, that was the best episode of the entire all the episodes in the both seasons. As far as I'm concerned, because it was so different.

And it was about these aspiring science fiction writers in the 60s or 70s or whatever it was old timey times and, probably the 60s and how they were all like, you know, serious writers and trying to create the best next science fiction or fantasy or whatever it was. But it was, you know, definitely sci fi or fantasy genre. And, and then they started being exposed to the realities of the publishing industry, which sources doesn't give a shit about while you work whatsoever.

Now, in season four, I just Looked it up began in January. So there are four seasons to like, wait, I don't know what was there. I I'm somehow emerging then season two and three together because I'm pretty sure I was caught up. But yeah, season two is it is it. Apple is that was on I'll have to check it out last night like I'm in. Season three ended on January 6th, 2023. And I think like five years ago. Yeah. Yeah. It's a while ago I mean it was 2022 for most of it.

So I mean that does kind of feel like that I'm either now I'm not sure. If I saw season three at all. See this is where

pirating thing's way easier because I know if I've seen them, because I've downloaded it, I probably watched, And did you in the last hour artwork? Two in the last hour or in the one from yesterday was cantonal. Oh, okay. I thought I saw something about you. I mean, I do a lot of artwork, but, not for the last episode, but now I have to watch Mythic Quest, so. Thank you. Brooke. Yeah, yeah, that's that's some homework right there. I remember watching the first season, and I don't remember you.

You were probably the one that told me to watch it like this. Yeah, that was I thought it was. Oh, this is good. It was clearly low budget, but it was a genius concept. And but I'll tell you in that same vein, the extra air is the New Zealand. I think they're actually New Zealand guys. And then Australian guys, do a comedy skit, YouTube channel. Yeah. What are they called? They're, but they're, but they're, they do a whole series about like, NPC man.

And now they've got a new one about video game studios, which is right along the same lines where it's like, take all the creative shit and then completely turn it into, how can we make more money off the users for this? All right. In-game purchases is that was a big yeah, yeah, yeah. And then basically any good idea completely corrupted. And then, any anything else? Just focus on the the grift money part of it. Oh, then what are they called, though? They were, Oh, I know I'm subscribed to them.

So you talk through, I'm going to scroll and see if I can find them here, because it's worth it's definitely worth watching their videos if anybody's not subscribe. And I'm sure somebody knows who I'm talking about. Just wanted to say so the man in the troll room, he says, I need to get a gun, but I live in Illinois and they make you pay for a license every year that they do that. It's true. Every ten years is the void card. I mean, I would I have a friend. Oh yeah. Yeah.

Well okay. Every ten k but you only have the card now. You could not get one and go buy a gun and then become one of the lawsuits

against the ATF challenging this. When they arrest you, you know, that's like just ask ChatGPT. And it's said every five years that's interesting. They are only like ten bucks to it. So it's, well may not be anymore. Well, well, because our governor here, fucktard fat ass JD Pritzker, it's a JB said that I don't Trump's like Hitler like. Yeah, really? Come on. I like you also getting sued by the federal government now.

Well, I like that because I think that, like Kash Patel should, slap on his costume and come into Illinois and say hello. I would love Kash Patel to start addressing mayors and governors. Yeah, that'd be awesome. For the people that are intentionally in inhibiting the federal government from doing the work they need to do. Yeah, like you go to jail, just perp walk to actually be. I would love that. I would pay good money. That would be a pay per view special.

The Pritzker and Mayor Johnson get arrested show. That would be awesome.

What you need to do would be entertaining. And it would teach people that nobody's above the law. They want to pretend the whole Donald Trump thing was, you see, which is showing you the politicians I read above the law, except they had to change the law to try to get Donald Trump where, these motherfuckers, man. Yeah. All right. So I found these guys. It's, took me a little while here. They're called Viva la Dirt League. A very memorable name.

They put out videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Almost as good as Santa has diabetes. It's 11 million subscribers. Viva viva, viva la la dirt league. So look them up on YouTube. All their videos are hilarious, frankly, but their latest series that been going on for probably 3 or 4 months, it's it's all about producing a video game. And if we had that subscribers, we'd be making like what? What a million a month? So 7 million subscribers is probably not that much now.

It's probably like, based on what I've seen, it's probably about maybe a million, five a year, which is pretty good. Yeah, yeah. I'm only 6,999,998. You just keep building them up. That's all you need to do. I know, I know, I like to, so I have a little app running that's tracking subscribers in real time. It's fantasy. It's people join them. I mean, there is just so much junk that is thrown out there. Now. I is going to continue to make it worse, although I did.

There's tons of I videos and like you can tell right away when things are high because they all use the same music. Yeah. And they, it's just different voices usually. And that's Yeah. Or they all use the same voice, even though the videos are totally different. Yeah. All right. The actual video. Different. The audio soundtrack. Exactly the same. Yeah. Very same soundtrack, same voice.

And then the video is just usually a recut of somebody else's video for, I think the, but the title always says something like this impressive drug cures cancer, right? Oh, yeah. And then not tell you anything about the drug in the video doesn't talk about the drug. I always like to give a nice thumbs down about those. Yeah, the problem is, the thumbs down is exactly like a thumbs up there. Like, it's like, count as interaction with the video and the interaction.

It's how YouTube promotes videos. Really what they need is a this video is full of there is and there actually is one. It's not a button. But if you click on the three little dots and you can say, don't show any more videos like this that need pointing out the other line doctors don't want you to know this. Yeah, that's a that's a good one. There's probably 5 or 6 of fairly reused video titles like that. Yeah. They don't want to. They're all hiding.

This is the good stuff you need, but they always get better. Somebody posted a video, which was then, reposted by Elon. I mean, the guy, like, hey, I thought you reposted a lot of shit until I saw Elon Musk. Man, that guy is a machine. He probably has been trying out, man, for Elon's repost or job, but, that's he's got it right now. He's doing an amazing job. He is. And the guy showed how easy it was with grok to create an asteroids game. Yeah. That's like this is the exit strategy.

Because if you come up with something funny it doesn't have to be

good. You know what I'm saying. It doesn't have to be the exit strategies to get Elon to read three. If you get well yeah. See that's the exit to create a shitty game. Yeah Elon retweet it and have a billion people go download it so I can make a million bucks a day. No no no no you gotta you just gotta make a crypto coin, man. Make a trash coin. Unrelenting coin. There you go. Make an unrelenting coin and then launch it. And, you're. Everybody becomes a millionaire with that app.

Only if you get people to buy it. And then you pull the rug out. Yeah, well, you know what? You could probably crank out some videos. Called your doctor. Never told you about the shit going right at the. If you only bought unrelenting, you would be cured of cancer. That's right. Now we're not saying it cures cancer.

Wink wink. But we're not saying it doesn't not cure not cancer. Exactly. You had enough? Exactly. What? We're not saying that. Thumbs up. It sounds really good when you put it all together. And yet. Hey, man, I remember I, I turned the guy that had a show that had, like, no donations coming in at all into, grift gas. Is he still doing it? Does he have an audience? You know, I stayed with him. I really haven't stay in touch with him, but, you know, he is.

He was bitching to me about them making any money. He's getting, like, ten bucks a week. And then, over the course of that December, I think he was getting about a thousand bucks a week. That's pretty good for, what he was doing.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Which, you know, was just it it was, kind of rambling intermixed between pleas for money, which we need here. So boost, boost us right now. Scott Evans did, between pissing off all our listeners, we probably would be getting money. Just one. Just the Pomeranians. Oh, man. I think for every one listener that you know about this, probably like at least 100 more than you don't. That's how, you know, it is over on Planet Rage. Man.

The download numbers are, like, have doubled since the end of last year, already up to like 20,000 a month. Dollars. No, no. Downloads are we're getting closer to, 3500 a show with.

Wow, that's huge for a podcast. This sadly. Yeah. It's got every it's like a quality podcast right there. You brave browser on the phone's smart tube on an Android TV. No ads, never use the YouTube app. And I really I guess I have to look at it too because I've got the Kodi box, which I use to watch local media on my big TV, but I've just been using the, YouTube app or whatever they call it on, Roku. But I guess if I can have a similar app on the box that's right

next to it and not pay the 18 bucks above that, maybe I would, I would, but would you pay ten bucks a month for it? That makes no sense. That's what, YouTube charges now, is that, Oh. For the ad free? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. Yeah. If I could just worth every dime. Smart tube on Android TV rather than, and not see any ads. I don't buy that. That weird? Not the weird thing, but the way ads work on YouTube is they put them directly in with the videos.

So how does any ad blocker know to pull them out? I mean, I'm sure you could do some if they're coming from a different IP or something like that. But yeah, it's not it's not easy. I don't think I would say there's something I would have to try. And I realized my, Kodi box was not even though it was set to automatically upgrade, it was not doing that. And they finally ran into a ten bit video. And what the fuck are ten bit videos? I'm so behind on this kind of stuff. They're they're, HDR.

Okay. And the ten bit video I tried to play that on, was a fucking, porn stars episode,

and the, Kodi box on a porn stars, porn stars, the show. I know the kind of porn stars, but I'm trying to understand that show, the history with Rick Harrison and his boy and his porn stars guy. Right. And, you went and press play and all of a sudden reset the device. Restarted. What the fuck was that all about? Oh, you get restart restarted. Does not like ten bit files.

Now I've updated Kodi off to try another ten bit file and see if that, is, I think even as crappy and small little processor that the Raspberry Pi five is, it should be able to handle video and, decoding. I don't know about that. There's a lot of math involved there. I guess I need a new box. He's up bigger, bad or better. Yeah, I need like, Nvidia card in there. Yeah, well, the new and, everything's rolling out, man, I need to do my crypto mining right on my LMS. Oh, that reminds me.

I wonder how much those things are going for right now. And I love markup. Is there? I loved that, always. This is always the answer of our three letter buddy.

Anytime you like, suggest, I'm like, you know, I'm kind of waiting for the, the M4, Max or ultra, whatever those chips are called in the, Mac studios. No, no, no, bam. Flaminius mini is better. Wait for next mini like. But no, it's not. But I mean, it depends what you're doing with it. I understand the people that want to make the case that the Mac mini is fine for a vast majority of people, for a vast majority of their workflows.

But when you start doing any kind of video editing, audio editing, the rendering time will be lowered by a fast chip. It will definitely be lowered. The question is worth it? Yeah, because as is your your Mac mini is going to render shit faster than my gaming PC

or your gaming PC. I mean, do you really use that as a comparison? Well, yeah. Does it have cute lights? Let's go on and off. It does have a bunch of lights to go on yet, but yes, the, the, the Mac mini overall, everything considered has been the add light is now the thing is, I also realize that I'm probably going to need to get the wife a new desktop machine. The other day she was doing something, which is on the Dell that I purchased, I think six years ago. Okay. Which was a top of the line.

It's got 64 gigs of Ram in it, but, because this was six years ago, the main drive is in the M2 drive, and it's, was it 256? It's like it filled up. Let's just put it that way. She started getting there is like no disk space. So I'm like, oh shit, now you either have to buy another drive and you know what? It's going to cost me to buy a larger SSD drive to put it in there. Probably 150 bucks, right? Yeah. What can I have as much as a 5090 like? True. But it's like, you know what?

I could buy a whole fucking Mac mini for out of the box and be. Yeah. New everything for 600 bucks. Yeah. And not have to worry about the work. The Mac mini. Now they were gone, like, in a heartbeat. But the Mac, the M2, like the one you got right here, the M2, the M2, Mac mini refurb were selling. I mean, the lowest end they said they were selling for 319. Now on the apple. Wow. It's like damn good. You can't I mean it's like a price for a keyboard. Pretty much for you.

So the, the 1590s, which incidentally, are all sold out, every brand, every model is currently sold out. But they, they're going for between 2400 and 2900. Wow. With $3,000 cards. And they're sold out if people want them for gaming. Now, are these the ones that are instead of buying it hard, I just bought an Nvidia stock. Right? That's a better idea. The money you make, you can put it into a card. Does this mean the 2800 pieces is the new one crippled crypto wise?

Is is it one now? No. So these these still do a crypto mining. Yeah. But no one's actually doing crypto mining anymore because there's no point. No. True. Because the whole price structure. For how much time per how much electricity does it make sense now people just want to do LPs. Yeah that's what they're buying for. Yeah. It's you could do your MSW images that you want to create without doing them on the cloud. Which I understand I do too. That's why I want to get one of these cards.

But they're fucking expensive, man. My like my last card I think was a thousand bucks and I thought that was like insanely crazy expensive. And now I'm looking at spending two grand or, well, two grand is the list price. They're all going for between 25 and 75% above list.

At which card is that? The 5090. Yeah. Well, that that's you seeing them for 5 to 6 grand everywhere. The 59. That's insane. What countries in Detroit which is their prices. Did you see the photos? And, Oh those are awesome man. Yeah, yeah. The frozen car wasteland. It looked like something out of a movie that's like, Holy crap. I'm like, I'm not complaining about that. He's like, once you see that, why? Okay, I, we like what we have.

Going here is nowhere near as bad as, No, but still, I mean, the interesting thing to me, it was if that's actually ice, which I don't think it is, I think it's just a layer of ice on top. But if that was actually ice play hockey, all the houses should be moved off their foundations because ice expands through, which is going to well, either the will be moving off the foundations or it would start around the house and then it would collapse in the foundation, right?

Yeah, that the house itself would just collapse, which yeah, the other ones, you see the ones are really good option if you save things for all the cars that are trapped in ice like that, because that ice should be denting the car in a nice, even pattern all the way around, like when the ice melts, all every single car that was on the streets would be damaged. Nature's a wonderful thing. It's. And let's see how much money FEMA gives these people

while Trump's going, like, shut them all down. He's an evil person. He doesn't want any help to go to anybody. Well, certainly not Detroit. Well, yeah. Detroit. You know, I mean, there's some of the what is the, ratio net that, you know, lately of how many of the homes are sitting there unoccupied for a while, Detroit was like 60 000. You could buy a house for, like, a buck. Yeah. Like, if you want to move to Detroit. Remember when Top Gear drove through Detroit?

Now they did their American tour? No, but I can imagine maybe it wasn't Top Gear. It might have been their second show and and, Amazon. But they did like a big drive of big American muscle cars to Detroit. And it's like crickets chirping. The whole city is just dead. You like, where'd everybody go when we know everybody went to Mexico? Louisiana to where all the cars are being made down. Mexico and Canada. Trump is going to make Detroit great again. Yeah, well, he's close because I need to.

Or to go up. I'm a little bit upside down Ford right now. Yeah I had Ford stock for a while. I don't even want to look. What. No. It was doing well.

And then and then you know. Yeah. It's not doing well so far. It wasn't. It should be doing better though, because, as we start to promote American manufacturing. Ford I would do well on that. I was close to that. That says 28% of the homes are currently empty in Detroit. So that's insanity, man. 28% that that's more homes empty than in Gaza. Yeah. Bring them over. Bring those Palestinians up. Yeah. I mean, it sounds like that's a perfect place to for, don't you think?

Well, this is something that I've said about the migrant problem for a long time, which is if you want to come into this country. Yeah. And take one of these homes and fix it up so you can live there. Yeah. Let them. And that's part of the deal. These foreign countries do this all the time. Ireland's trying to get people to live on some nearly desolate islands out in the oh. They pay good money for those.

You know, there there are other countries like, oh, you could buy an Italian villa for $1,000. No you can't, but then you have to, like, rehab it and it's going to cost you 5 million to do what you need to do. Two lots of green space in Detroit. I don't there's, there's an interview that I repost around X that was with a British lord who, who was offered a contract by this, the government of the UK, to house migrants in his castle.

And, he said that it was a incredibly high paying contract and that was very difficult for him to refuse it. But for the sake of the surrounding areas in the village, he had to refuse it because, the a lot of the people that live there make their living off of tourism of his castle. No. Close the castle and make it a microphone for the team. Yeah. Make it up. Yeah, that's what they were there. That's what they were trying to do. They were trying. They.

They were offering him a year long full occupancy contract. So no matter how many people are housed in there, he's going to get paid for like literally 100% occupancy. And, but they also would they would get rid of his cleaning staff and, because they would take care of the government, they apparently has a cleaning staff. And so, yeah, these migrants would have been living in the castle, well, for free with, you know, free room service and free, cleaning service.

But he did. Yeah. That's just he couldn't do it. Is that that's just really corrupting, you know, and and that it's. I guess he's thinking, like it's his responsibility to keep the villagers happy because you don't want those villagers getting pitchforks for. It's part of your local eco system that people used to respect. Yeah, in small towns everywhere. Yeah. I mean, what's the point of being a lord if you don't have a bunch of villagers to protect?

And let's forget that even if it's a lord, if you have a small town in the middle of anywhere and all of a sudden bring in, you know, as many people, you know, more, and some of these would be more than the current occupancy of the city. Yeah, literally. And then be like, well, how is that going to hurt things?

It's like, well, because the city is set up, you know, if you have a small town that's like, okay, we have 20,000 people, which is still a decent sized town, but still if you have 20,000 people and they're like, well, this is, we're built to handle, food. And the only services, you know, garbage and, all of these things that, you know, medical care, it's set up so we can handle 20,000 people if you're like, well, here's another 20,000 people. It's like, well, no, you're not set to handle that.

You have to build out slowly. You know, people that learned anything from SimCity back in the day. Yeah, I feel like SimCity should have been a requirement for anybody going into that line of work. Yes. Like if you haven't played SimCity, I don't care what you took in college, you're worthless. You're like, you can't just drop a doubling your population. It's go. We're fine. The sewers will handle it. Don't worry. This won't be running in the streets like Detroit.

Yeah. So can you imagine if that was the sewer line instead of just water? That would be better. But makes you think it isn't. If you could I. I think it was water, but I don't remember in Detroit you could light one on fire. Well, I mean, I guess that's true, but that would be now, if you could light the ice on fire, could you melt it? That would be very cool ice. If you could light the ice and fire instead, you can melt the ice by lighting.

Yeah, yeah, that would take care of all of the right if anyone's tried that in Detroit. But I think it's important for a Lord to take care of his village. That's a good it's a it's a good attitude to have because of Lord's. And I've been playing a video game lately. But wait. No. Well, we need, I think, in terms deliverance plays a video game, and Zelda's one a friend of mine suggested, and, it's extremely well done. I've been very, very impressed with this game.

So this game places you in 1400s, Bohemia, not Pomerania, not Pomerania. It's just the primary is a little bit north east of there. This is in Bohemia. And, I'm hearing curve, like every hour now. So now you know where you are then.

Yes. In Bohemia. Exactly. You're getting better at that. Thank you. Just the way that the video game says it do. All right, I go back, I try to, kind of model it after. Do you remember that? You do because you're old. The first versions, the 2D versions of Castle Wolfenstein, when you'd rather have the guards be like, let's pray it scared the crap out of you two back at the time. Two? Yeah, because you were playing it night. Yes.

Always. You. Yeah. It was like, well, let's see the doom and see doom is what I realized. The, career in video games was not for me because even when I had two functioning eyes, I get motion set to play any of those first person shooters when I have to walk through a world very odd. Does not happen with the full racing simulator. Driving a car. That's because you're too tall. Probably. Yeah. Too tall. So there there's Miss Wired.

I'm just like you sent me the video on about headaches, and it's like, well, I don't really get the headaches. I don't have the pain. I just get the neurological symptoms. I have a do the eyesight go crazy and fireworks and all that. Right? I feel nauseous after, but I really but it is an interesting thing about the the solution that they suggested not medical advice is to take more salt. You have to drink salt, which seems counterintuitive to what most people would tell you.

Yes. Well, because the really the world don't raise your blood pressure. Don't don't take any salt. Avoid all that at all costs.

Well, if you have a congestive heart failure issue that you probably do, but otherwise salt is your friend. Without it, you cannot live. Yeah, but I've been eating quite a bit of miso lately. Do you like me? So I don't think I've ever had it. Yeah I know for me so is that to live cruise on me. So horny. Me so horny. Yeah. It's also a game for you. It's fermented. Fermented rice or fermented beans. So you're horny for me. So instead of me. So it's it's something like that.

It's a it's a a Japanese. I might call it a food for sake because it's that you eat it. Right? So, I mean, it is a food, is it not? If you can find that you it's it's basically a bacterial growth, but it's it's very tasty. I want to see the commercials for that bacterial growth. Yeah. And yeah it's bacteria growing. Well it's you know it's fermentation. But they make it with a shit ton of salt like a third of your daily salt in one very thing.

And lately I've been, I've started buying a few different brands to see what I like better. And definitely the stuff that's made in Japan is better than the stuff that's made in the US. Isn't that always the way it is? But it's it's pretty pricey though. What's the problem? You know, import it in. And of course for all the Trump tariffs it makes it even more pricey. There is that will Trump tariffs. He's going to do. He's going to do good bye. You

know the I tried to ask perplexity but it just told me that miso is a prefix derived from the Greek word miso meaning middle or intermediate, which is interesting because my, my just not right the one yet. So I thought it was a mess up. So then no, I didn't. I went by what nobody posted on the troll. What? He said miso sucks. But, my dentist is, named miso. So, I mean, now we know he's, that's probably a Greek name. Yeah, that is good. Yeah. It's like Harry para testes, you know.

There there you go. Most names that end with an s a Greek. What is, So instead of m e s o m I s got braces. Miso sucks too. He's he's. And like miso and miso or whatever it is. Number A6. Whoa. He was the only one this morning that was like. What the fuck's with the start time, man. Like we got oh good good good good. So that they work that we annoyed him. So now you gotta go back. When the show drops, we're very. Drop it like it's hot. When the show drops, you gotta go catch the beginning.

What you miss? That way we get some extra downloads. That way Gene and I can sell adverts. Better yet, send some money. Yeah, that would be good too. You could boost miso, a traditional Japanese seasoning made from fermented soybeans. So it's just a seasoning. You put it on things. Is that what you do with me? So you can. It is a thick paste with a texture similar to peanut butter. Is that true? Yeah. Fermenting soybeans with salt. Well it's not quite as thick as being butter. It be.

It's more like it's more like let's see what it's less less gooey that peanut butter but still kind of gooey honey. Yeah. There you go. It's more like honey. Yeah. So you can. It's. Soybeans salt. Koji. It's a fungus. Yeah. I guess. Yeah. Now you got white miso or red miso or you. Yeah. For anyone you got Shiro and AKA. Yeah, I got, I got all of measles, man.

You got some miso soup, which is the most common application as it is the only application you can make that super easily just by squeezing out a little bit of this stuff and then putting into hot water, and then put some scallions in there so you squeeze in so it get it out. Yeah. It comes in a squeezable tube. Yeah. To squeeze your tube. But it's it's so tasty. I've been I've been eating a lot of American foods with it lately.

It's it's more of an the mommy thing. Well Tesla's been a staple of Japanese cuisine for over 1300 years and continues to gain popularity due to its unique umami flavor.

That's literally it. Yeah. And potential health benefits. What are the potential health benefits? Well, it's it's a good probiotic. Yeah. My my dad's doctor put him on a probiotic. That's one of these refrigerated ones. And I'm like, Holy fuck, do these things get expensive? Very fat bacteria. Yeah, it's all bullshit. Of course it is. Drink yogurt. Just drink yogurt. Fresh yogurt. Not the pasteurized kind. That's all you need? Yeah. Too hard, I don't know.

And then if you don't like yogurt, then just get some. Like Tom Boucher. That works as well. Now, they say that the benefits, of course, are digestive because of that immune system support heart health. It may lower your cholesterol all. Yeah they did. The little critters actually eat cholesterol. So cancer prevention may reduce the risk of certain. Yeah it actually eat cancer. Apparently not. Medical advice. Yeah. Rich in antioxidants brain health. It may aid memory.

It's like eats your brain. So yeah. So it eats the B12 that's in your brain. So that way you don't have to take as much B12 anymore. It may support cognitive health, including, but most importantly it's all like preparation. Are you do you feeling anxious or depressed? I'm working on it. No, no, no, it's you. Don't take this if you want to be anxious and depressed. Oh, I thought that's what it's for. Okay?

You know, it is rich in vitamin K. Oh, oh, I take that anyway, I, I take day two every morning. Oh, don't overdo the k, man. Really, I don't like that.

One of those that you can't overdo. I've been overdoing it. Maybe overdoing that I don't know. Once you start giving medical advice, we never give medical advice here. I'm unrelenting. We suggest you find a doctor that you can trust and go to them and ask them dumb questions about the things that you've heard here on Unrelenting and ideally, like a chiropractor, because they're totally doctors. Well, they are totally doctors who can agree with us on all these supplements.

They're not scam artists at all. No, they totally went to medical school somewhere, like, well, they went to massage school, but this is basically the same thing. Hey, a good massage. It's hard to pass that up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I, I've known a few massage therapy factors. I don't know if you them too, but I've done the few chiropractors in my day. I've gotten to be the guinea pig for, for some,

some of those. Yeah. Speaking of not medical advice, the EU is not warning that caffeine is dangerous. I've heard that. I mean, I know that I can't drink caffeine. Well, we talked about this. If I drink coffee more than two days in a row, on the third day, I'll get a headache. You get the jitters? No, but you get a headache. But the tea is okay. And there's caffeine. Yeah, I drink tea all day long. I drink, like, usually, but maybe a little less than a gallon of tea.

So for you, it's not the caffeine that's a problem, but. Oh, it is the caffeine. Then why is it just because the level of caffeine is less? It's a spike. Yeah, the tea is way lower. Caffeine level and it's just slow throughout the day. The the. I don't drink coffee though. I only drink the espresso. Well and and so that caffeine is a very big kind of caffeine all at once. And I feel good when I first drink it. I'm like, yeah, I remember this. This is good.

Caffeine is good. Yeah. And then second day I'm like, oh yeah, this is pretty good. And then the third day is like, why is my head hurt? You're not getting enough salt water. I must not be getting enough salt water because, when I'm drinking caffeine, it is actually salt water because coffee is a diuretic. Oh, yeah. Maybe salt. Can't forget this butter coffee bullshit, right? That's what you want. Something salty? Well, salted butter.

I get all of this daily nutritional levels. It. Yeah, but I would recommend that anyone who has not tried me.

So pick up yourself a tube of miso at the grocery store and just try any of the few things.

I find that it's very good you put it in a burrito. Good, good. But squirt a little bit out on the burrito I've been putting out. Anything from like eggs to sandwiches to, neat, like, both pre and post cooking back there. You know, probably fry up a steak day for lunch. Thought. Well, that would be good. It's it's very good. It's not cheap. But it's quite good. It's a it's about a buck an ounce. The report on caviar, it's about two bucks an ounce, but two bucks an ounce.

Well, that's kind of like, getting yourself a good,

pet. Poochie, the little things didn't come out. The Polish love that for, the, Fat Tuesday coming up. Everything's more what I've never heard of. The word is just said ski baby. It's called the born ski. They spell that? Yes. That's that's where you have the fun is where you try to spell it. Because in Polish world, there's, like, weird symbols on that.

It is in the most Americanized spelling would be dachi. Oh. How did you do that? Said Ski Funky. I always heard punchy. I would say ski, but maybe I'm wrong. But that's that how I would pronounce that word to be a different polish. Everything Polish is spelled B is not a regular A. No, it's a different symbol with, a thingy on the bottom. Yeah. What do you call the a with the dangling thing on the bottom there? Yeah. It's like a if only somebody in our audience knew Polish.

We don't have any Polish speaking audience members. It's Persky. Right? ISP brewski. I don't know why, but that's always the way I've heard it, because then what I saw spelled out was like, c z. I would pronounce as a sure sound. So I would say, but maybe mine's more Czech, a pronunciation of that. But it's possible. Well, this video game that I've been playing, you know, takes place basically in modern day Czech Republic historically, Bohemia. And you've learned what in the 1400.

It's an awesome game. You really it's it's more like a simulator.

So you ride the horses, you steal horses and bring them to the, Hungarians to it. Them. He hasn't. I usually get dead if you steal horses. Well, no, that's what the gypsies are for. And, Yeah, you you have, castle stuff to do. Okay. Here and now here, though. Adam Curry. Yeah. If he's listening, he says I is no good for anything. He said that on the last episode of his show, I asked, do you have the clip from yesterday?

No, I should, but I just asked. Perplexity. I how do you say that? That word and the answer was the correct pronunciation is how cheeky this is. Okay, this is how the word is pronounced in native Poland. However, it says it counts key. Yes, it says. However, many people, especially in Chicago, often mispronounce it. So, I was thinking, wow, okay, so thanks. I, some common mispronunciations would be potsie. Oh, yeah. Has exactly.

It's like, okay, I could see people looking at that and going as zachy. No. And Husky, which does not sound, does not sound good. But the first symbol that PA is pronounced like town, it says rhymes with town. So how am I? Yes. Yeah. It's, It's about the team. Exactly. Tomtom. Yeah, exactly. It's a Portuguese name. It is a filled, rich, filled, donut like pastry, also covered with it. I just looked it up online, you know, literally a donut. And I've seen people selling them.

The bakery here is three bucks. I saw another one that was like five bucks apiece. Like it's a donut. I'm sure they are delicious, but they are simply a donut once.

But once you get that Fat Tuesday, it's a big thing, right? With the blood thing coming up, the pole skis, like the pound skis. Conjugate conjugate. Conjugate. They post you with us. Everybody. It's not. It's funny how people skip out, ski. Yeah. Learn polish I thought relax I want to see what the, the Czech version of this is. What about the Ukrainian version.

Is there a Russian version? Do they really originate in Russia? And that's the, the true? No, there is. I doubt it. The, there are some Russian like bakery wreaths, but they're not really. It's not really a big Russian thing. Most, most of that came to Russia from Europe. The Polish area of Detroit is now Muslim. So you get different pastries there, I bet. I bet you do. The more you learn. What's the official currency of the Muslim area of Detroit? That's a good question. Did they say.

Yeah, this is the lira? The, What are they spending? What are they? Yeah. What? Shekels are going back and forth. You never know until you go. Nobody has boosted during today's show, but we are live. Yeah, and that doesn't surprise me. No. Yeah. You got to provide a quality product if you want this. Dude, this is the best show on at 10 a.m., sometimes 8:30 a.m. for, five days on the mighty No agenda stream. Occasionally it is curated by, by, membros. Oh, there we go.

I just saw the, confetti flying on the screen. 3333 from CSB as a reward for the potentially the discussion. He says, see, a real pain movie, cause I want a guy, though. He's big on that movie. I don't know what they have to look at. Is that a real movie game? It's called real Pain. Yeah. Never heard of it then? I don't know. Think so. I was, up for some award that he was like, oh, if it wins, he's going to send a big boost to the show. And why? I don't know, not to show.

It was a planet rage. It was a totally different thing. Oh, so is he still doing something? He's just not doing this show that we made him mad. So he wasn't donating 2.00. You also made him out on that show. There's a commonality here that seems to be, me angering people does not stop at one shows borders. I mean, so the real pain is about a dude with Jewish heritage touring through Poland? Oh, no. Like some other, family history. You got to get it.

There's a lot of different flavors of the punchline. Just to say that what you see, Eisenberg is it. And it's written by him. The guy that we know. This is like the third movie written by a Jewish actor about going back to the old, old country. This is a guy that was in The Social Network. Yeah. Right. Yeah. The Jewish standing gay straight. Well, he looks Jewish too, but he's still you. Well, his name's Eisenberg, so go figure. Do you think he's actually Jewish? Eisenberg.

Gee, I wonder, man, I wonder if he's having some cookie or, Fat Tuesday coming up.

Well, probably not, because he's Jewish, but he was in Poland where they'd be like, hey, if he was there around Fat Tuesday, they'd be trying to throw a punch at him. So in this video game, what's interesting is, there is a Jewish ghetto, as you said, this is realistic. Yeah, it's it's a simulation. It's a Jewish, sector of the city out there. And, you can actually go and buy bagels. Whoa. Okay, so this is like somebody writing the game and like, What do we need in a Jewish neighborhood?

Is there a deli, too? Can I go buy some, matzo ball soup? You know, they don't have much about soup. They probably should. They they have, a number of Jewish foods there. You can buy tons of pastries, too. And one of my favorites. Well, actually, Csvs probably eaten this before, two different foods in that in, the, in that group, that I like. One is a, it's a poppy seed filled, I guess, for lack of a better name, Karachi. And then the other one is a poppy seed.

Sweet roll, which is like a loaf of bread with poppy seeds folded in.

So the loaf is created by taking a flat piece of dough, putting a layer of sweet honey. So poppy seeds, across the whole thing and rolling it up so that the poppy seeds are in multiple layers inside. It's kind of a poppy seed burrito. Oh, well, that's interesting. And it is so good. Well, I like the little little like sesame of honey wafers that are also big, in Poland. I've ordered them on Amazon. But really? Yeah. They're delicious.

I made the mistake one time of at a Russian store, buying the poppy seed mix. So it's basically if you're going to bake these things at home and you don't want to go to the trouble of soaking the poppy with, you know, seeds and getting them all prepped, because you got to get them prepped. And so you could buy them pre-mixed

with the honey and everything else. And, and so I bought this, and then I thought, I better try this. I took a spoon and put it in there, eat it. And I was like, oh my God, this is so good. So that that thing never get used in anything and just got eaten like it's a snack. It's great. It's literally like the sweet part of a dessert bread without the bread. So then you would like the, Lowell CSA Kiss Sesame Bar. It is a product of Poland. That's a success, on Amazon.

And I had never had this until we picked up Shwarma the one day. And then I said, I think he's a Palestinian dude. Like, threw a couple of these in because he had them and it was like, damn, these are like addictive. They're basically a little sesame wafer that has a, you know, it's loaded with honey. I mean, but it's not sticky or anything. So it's just a, it's a nice. Yeah, there's a Polish candy that'd be eaten since I was a little kid. That is this called a little cow? Okay, a little it's.

Oh, yeah. It's it's got a picture of a cow.

I mean, I guess it does have to be little, but, it's basically cooked sweet condensed milk formed into a little square in a candy wrapper, you know, is what they're, the way caramel. Yeah. It's a car. Yeah, well, but it doesn't taste like American caramel at all. It's crumbly. It actually kind of crumbles in your mouth, and it's not. It's not burnt. Like American caramel is typically a fairly strong burn. What's your favorite Polish candy? Vote now. Yeah, that one's pretty good.

Also pick up a, This is all from the Russian grocery store or the European grocery store, as a lot of them prefer to be called these days. I think they're not Russian. The, totally Ukraine. So what? They're totally Ukrainian, though. The totally Ukrainian grocery store. Well, the reality is not. Well, I should say.

I think there's been one Russian grocery store that I've known that I've been to that was actually started and ran by Russians for every other Russian grocery store was owned or run by Iranians, Slovenians or Slovak and or, you know, you name it, any East European country, below Russians, just not Russian. And, I think that it's, most of the products that they get what used to be Russian. These days, you can't get any Russian products. They're all banned.

So everything's coming from Eastern Europe, just not Russia. There's got to be an underground. There's got to be a way to get your Russian caviar.

Well, the caviar isn't really from Russia. It's, you know, you get your Russian vodka, it goes by way of, Iran. Wait. There are enemies. Wait, wait. Yeah, I ran that good. I don't I don't think so. That's the list. I'll just double check the list. Anyway, I was going to say another Polish thing that I get there pretty regularly is a sort of a, It is a what do you call these things like, layers of, of thin dough with chocolate in between. Got them. And it's the tip of my tongue.

They're, layers of sitting dough with what's a. Yeah. What do you call that thing? Like the good stuff, the baklava. No, no, no, I, I was afraid you were going to go that. No no no, it's delicious too. Baklava can be. But baklava is so sweet I can't eat it. Well, not wafer wafers is. I'm thinking of the wafers saying those, but they're diabetes. Exactly. So they're basically like a chocolate covered wafer cake. So it's round. It's maybe like 6 or 7in in diameter and it's a chocolate wafer.

So layers of, you know, chocolate and wafer bread, it's not bread.

You know what I mean. Layer. So a wafer cookie. But the whole thing is covered in chocolate. And so it it's almost like a little wafer cake. Almost. I mean, it sounds delicious. Yeah. And there's, I think, a variant of that is a cookie is it a wafer cookie that I've also like? It's called Prince Polo. Is it? Bob? I always get that you think about like that was, you know, that was science out there. That's so good. I mean, you get it. You got to get a babka. Have you seen the baby?

We gotta get the chocolate. But, that's totally different. This is a wafer. I've kissed a way. Yeah, but it was a Seinfeld reference, which we appreciate. We appreciate that. Yeah. But. Yeah. Principle. Okay. If you ever see those candy bars, pick that up. Those are really good. I think they're polish. I, I am not 100% sure, but I believe they're Polish. I mean, Ksbw could probably tell you. Well, but he doesn't listen to the show. Oh that's true. Yeah. That's true.

Yeah. The, chocolate wafer candy. That is. Oh, like it's like Kit-Kat. No, not at all, though. It looks like a Kit-Kat. Yeah. That's, Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's a prince. Follow. Yeah. That does look like Kit-Kat. Without the divisions between each card, there is, the honey for it, Kinder Bueno. That's combining German and Spanish. They can get Greek loads, which is popular in Norway, in Sweden, which are, well known chocolate wafer candy brands.

Yeah, but Kit Kat would be the most popular because it's a. Yeah, that's probably a fairly close to then the Necco Chocolate wafers, low fat. It's an American classic. Well no. You want a Polish classic I found it okay. So this is Polish I was right. Let me see what brand it is. I found the picture of it. This looks on the screen. Yeah I'm looking at my screen. I don't know if this is a brand. It's, e would Dell. I don't know why they're, world of food, blah, blah blah, blah, blah.

Yeah. Let me just do a search for that and see if that's what they are, because I found what it looks like. Now I'm trying to figure out if the thing that I guess that is a brand E with Dell is a brand that makes chocolate. This would be they make a chocolate cookie. Big round chocolate cake. So I'm gonna mispronounce this, I'm sure, because I'm doing it with a Russian. Read the Russian accent. Polish. But it's, torchic ridloff ski is what I would pronounce that is.

Which is available on Amazon for ten bucks. Cause get it on Amazon right now. Torchic. With love scheme that TSB says Prince Polo are Polish. Yes. Anyways, poppy seed roll equals makeover in Polish. Yeah. Mock. Mock is what poppies are in Russian as well. It is my favorite Polish cake yo, he says. Wow, look at that. I can't believe that. A Slavic taste for food. Wow, that's how you do it, man. Well, okay, so, Ksbw, since you're listening, have you had this, Torchic with musky?

That's, How do you even spell touch? Look at the velocity o rc. It e or rc I k. Let's see. W ed l o w sky. It's the way you want. It's like I pronounced it. It is a wafer candy. But you see, it's like a round. Like a big round, wafer. Yes. And a few layers of chocolate and wafer. It is produced by. You were down. What? A Poland's oldest chocolate brands featuring layers of wavers, wafers with peanut cream coated in dark chocolate and hand decorated with the company founder's name, too.

That's why you start a chocolate company so bitches could put your name on candy. Yeah, yeah, you can make it yourself, sir. Member says his favorite shows are when people look things up on the internet and talk about them. Well, then he's at the right place because that's literally what we do. You finally found your home. This show is.

See, the problem is, Rose doesn't realize we're doing this show on YouTube with video where people are looking at things. We're talking about millions probably just listening to it. Yeah, because he refuses to get a YouTube account because he's a pleb. There you go. I'm like this. I'm not going to give Google my money, man. I'm not gonna give him my ID, I'm not gonna give him my name, man. They want they want to restrict me to the fucking chair, man. They want to get my identity.

They want to do it all. I'm getting, like doing people that talk like that egg up. It's. I like signing them up for for various accounts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is me getting a lot of, a lot of, mail. Yes. I currently torchic with Loki, but I prefer. Oh, wow. Yeah. As I am. Is that easy? No. Where are you doing the show? Where you're spelling shit? Yeah. This is, this is CSP prefers, and he got another 3333 just to tell us. I mean, it's got to be good. Now, what is this?

When he is, when you send stuff that nobody can pronounce, sign them up for. Chewy says, net net, I get a lot of spam. I just have to go. No spam, no spam, no spam there. Like, do you just want to unsubscribe or do you want to report spam? I'm like, fuck you. I didn't sign up for it, so we bought it as spam. I didn't know there was this. I'm sure this is. Yeah. I've had. Yeah. These are good to you. It is. It means birds milk. Yeah. Birds milk. That's that's what they're called.

That's exactly right. Yeah. There was, somebody that sent me, an email that I guess I missed. Maybe the first one about wanting to, redo the website for Grumpy Old bed.com. So this morning I got another one from them, and they're like, if you don't want to continue getting email from us, respond with no or whatever. And I just responded back with, fuck off, spammer, which I'm sure is only going to get my email put on to more or less, no doubt about it. Birds will get you why you're interacting.

That means you're a real email address. I know.

Polish confectionary created by E Weddell in 1936, while CSB was just a little boy in 1936. It consists of soft and marshmallow like centers coated in chocolate. Yeah, those are really good. There's a non Polish brand of those that I feel like, because birds of milk is pretty common. And I think of Eastern Europe, and they're, they're round. These are square. The ones I'm thinking of are like round with a hole in the middle. You mean donuts? Same exact taste.

They look more like donuts, but they have, but but they're not. They're flat on one side. So the bottom side is suddenly flat.

So if you think of, like, imagine making a marshmallow donut on a plate so that the bottom side is slightly flat when you squirt out the dough. But it's not dough, it's it's the squirt out. It's like the magic two. It's base. Yeah. It's, it's not done it. Why am I saying, though? It's, marshmallow when you squirt out the marshmallow, you basically draw a circle of marshmallow on the plate with a hole in the middle, and then you cover the whole thing in dark chocolate. And those are so good.

I can't remember what they're called, but I bought them at the the Russian store as well. There's a lot of really good sweets that people in Europe eat that Americans just don't know about. Why don't I have these? I would none of them have diabetes. But people here all have diabetes. Amazingly. One thing I will say is when I when I came to the US, I noticed that most foods were way

more flavorful, like they everything just had the really good strong taste. Usually good, not always, but definitely a strong taste. Except desserts. American desserts completely suck in comparison to European desserts. That is one area where I don't know what happened. I think it's probably the British culture because the British just don't have dessert. They've never learned how to make it, and I think that kind of got pushed into the US, 250 years ago.

But American Desserts are just not really good. American chocolate is definitely not good water. Yeah. No kidding. American chocolate in was chocolate. Do you know that Hershey's bar? Now a Hershey bar does not have any chocolate in it. They don't. I don't know that, but I'm not surprised. They don't call it milk chocolate anymore. It's a chocolate like substance. Yeah, yeah. There you go. And they fucked up totally. I there's no doubt in my mind that's pretzels.

When my dad was in rehab for, you know, his surgery back. Yeah, yeah. You got some pretzels? We got some dots. Pretzels. Which were the cinnamon and sugar covered pretzels. Okay. And these were the most. I mean, it was horrible because they were the most addictive things I've ever eaten. They were light. They were delicious. They were sweet. They were salty. And so we bought a bag and went through them while another bag went through them, bought another bag.

And it's like, oh, these seem a little off, but another one, they are shit. And I looked it up. Hershey's bought the fucking brand and has been moving the production

into their own facilities and obviously totally changing the way they fucking make them. They ruin them and they were addictive. And I've seen other people complaining about other dots flavors of the same thing. Like I couldn't figure out because I used to love these and I went to the store one day and all of a sudden it was like, wow, these are not good anymore. They're horrible. Yeah, Hershey's chocolate is probably some of the worst chocolate in the world.

Most other brands of chocolate, especially from other countries, are better. They're made better chocolate the way they're made in America. Is that better? What better ingredients? It's not better ingredients. Different ingredients like, there's no reason you couldn't make good chocolate here. So of course, in fact, Ghirardelli makes very good chocolate. They do in the US. But that's not what most people eat. Most people eat Hershey style chocolate when we launch significantly of chocolate.

Well, I perfect for with diabetes. Yeah, exactly. The best diabetes chocolate you've ever had once before you died. But I, you know, I used to work at Cadbury, Cadbury. Jack. Wow. That's another big chocolate producer. Yeah. The work you, mate, you were like Lucy and Ethel on the line, and, Yeah. So I was just like Lucy. An apple. Exactly.

Just because your mouth is there, you could sense diabetes. Yeah, I I've been to their offices all over the world, and, one of the things that they have, or at least back then, is they had all their chocolates in their meeting rooms or conference rooms, you know, to have people eat them like they were replenished regularly for, for free.

You could you could go buy snacks or you could just eat stuff that Cadbury made and after after working on a project there for about a month, I got all the guys that were working for me, during one lunch, and I said, okay, if you guys think that this is this is good chocolate, which it's better than Hershey's. Okay, to be fair, Cadbury's is better than Hershey's, but it's literally the next worse after Hershey.

And so I went and took them to a store to buy some really good European chocolate, like mainly Swiss chocolates. These are the people who were running Cadbury at the time were not running Cadbury, but I this was my team that we were all, working on. Gotcha. And so I said, you have to understand what good chocolate is. So you know what shitty chocolate is. And then the place we're working is shitty chocolate. And, yeah, everybody agreed to they had some good chocolate.

They're like, yeah, you're right, this is way worse. And it's like, I don't it's British, like British stuff has no flavor. The UK being the furthest away from the Orient was the last to get any spices. And so they learned to eat gruel with no spices. And I think that has been stayed with them forever. If you want to get good food in the UK, what do you do? You go to like Pakistani or Indian restaurant. You go to a middle eastern restaurant, you don't go to a British restaurant.

If you want good food, good taste. It's European in that Middle Eastern or, Indian. Then you go to a French restaurant or an Italian restaurant. You don't go to a British food restaurant. The most flavorful thing you're going to have is fish and chips. Oh, that just depends how long it's been since they've, cleaned the oil. Never. Which is how. That's where the taste comes to try. You can't reproduce it. Yeah, I had I had some Chinese food the other day.

The, the little sesame balls, which looked exactly right the way they should look, but they tasted like egg rolls. Okay. That's weird. I'll let you guess why they fry them up. Yeah. Same oil. Yeah. The egg. Roll them oil. That's that'll do it for the taste. Do transfer kids that oil is very good. The most taste is actually, oil. You know, it's it's an oil. It's not a water based thing. It's an oil based thing.

So when you put oily substances, the I know what I'm saying, adhered to oil is the wrong way to say it. But basically non water soluble substances tend to be soluble in oil. And that's that's how you transfer a lot of good taste. And I just want to point out that, but with these three books, CSB is by far the biggest, contributor to today's show, which tells us we're just going to have to continue Polish talk for the in

for the upcoming episodes if we want to make any kind of donations at all. So.

Well, you, you know, you're half polish. You're like halfway there. You just need to learn how to appreciate Polish foods. Half way. They're living on a punchy. Have you ever had one? You should get one. Oh, yeah. I grew up with the punch. Yes. And of course, the cookies, which I always knew is like, how do you not know how to pronounce it? If you grew up with it? It's I again, I said, I've always heard when people would say, or do you just call it a pansy? People would call them punchy.

Also, they were close because it's not punchy. It would be, yeah, don't ski, don't care. Which is again, rhymes with town. We've learned now, allegedly, according to I. And it's a sure sound I see. I when I read that I, I tend to generally pronounce it as a sound, not a chirp. But, you know, I'm a Polish, though, and the parodies are good too. Billy Bones I love me some pierogi. You get a little bit of, Yeah, I like the Russian ones better.

What's the difference? What goes in that? Mainly. Right. Because otherwise, you know, it's actually a completely different. Different, they have the same name but different food. But what is it then? What's the Russian one?

How do you compare a the Russian one is, is a hot pocket. So more of a, it's, it's a meat stuffed Hot pocket. So not a, more like a, where the polish version of pierogi is more like that. So it's not like a pastry. You're saying the Russian one is more of like a red, a Polish one, I think is more like a pot sticker. And I know I'm generalizing, but it's from that category. It's from the category of like, food that's boiled or fried, that's like a little sealed up pot sticker kind of thing.

The Russian ones are a different type of dough, and they're baked. Yes. That's or steamed.

Well, yeah. Well the, the ones, the polish ones. You want to like boiler steam them and then put them in with a little, little butter and fry them up. Yeah. The, the Russian ones I would say are more like, like the, the Chinese, meat field buns. It's way more pedestrian. It sounds like it's, like a Hot Pocket. You could just go and store using, What a term that you're clearly familiar with. I didn't want to use terms that you to. Oh, yeah. Let's see.

I think you've had a Hot Pocket or two in your life. You say Russian in Polish for a while. Similar in concept, have some distinct differences. According to the mighty I Polish is called. You can't say, it's not wise. The Russian is known as pal. Many? Yeah, many is closer to what the Polish pierogi is. Many is a again, it's a it's the best way I can describe it. It's like sticker.

The polish dough typically made with flour, eggs, water and sometimes oil, where the Russian often includes sour cream in their dough. Recipes for polish. The most popular popular fillings are potato with cheese, which is, oddly enough, it says meragi ruski. Well, that sounds very. It sounds very Russian to me. The Russian tell me they are usually filled with ground meat. Yeah, and can have various other fillings. Yeah. I polish often boiled and pan fried and butter, as I suggested, were

Russian, typically boiled and served with melted butter or sour cream? Yep. And usually the way I like it, the way I've really grew up eating em is with, vinegar. They're popular in Siberia, so that's where they came from. Yeah. Which I mean, we say they came from Siberia, but really they came from China. In Russia they are via Syria with vinegar. There you go. Yeah. Vinegar just makes it so much tastier. Sour cream and vinegar mixed together is what I prefer to do.

Because when you mix vinegar with, sour cream, it makes it more light, like it adds liquid to it. So it's not as stiff. It turns it more into a salad dressing

consistency, like a sauce, kind of more like a sauce. And then literally just bathe those things in there. Oh, so good. You give me hungry. I haven't had any for a long time. I'm hungry too. I haven't had lunch yet, obviously. Yeah. I'm neither the, because we're doing the show in the morning, so. Yeah. When in Ireland. That's when I really got into the, the Maldives on Friday. Yeah. Yeah, it's a similar thing. It's like. Oh it is.

Yeah. It makes sense because Americans love the ketchup on fries and there is vinegar and ketchup. There is. That's true. So it's just you're kind of taking this. I've always liked, I always like mayonnaise and fries. You know, I, I am a mayo addict, so I try to avoid that kind of, because I would just. I would overdo it. But if you're going to eat fries, you might as well have mayo on them. You may as well. You know what the best fry that I ever had was a place here.

I'm sure there are still a few of them in existence. The one by, you know, disappeared. They als Italian beef, which is one of the original, you know, before the fucking Portillo's came into the area. Al's Italian beef was one of the original. They've got them downtown, okay. And they had blue cheese fries, which were just way too damn good. I love me some blue cheese. And this was like. It wasn't just like blue cheese salad dressing. There was crumbled blue cheese.

And like, some other kind of, you know, creamy, like kind of maybe a covering like you would. That was probably a mayonnaise based, you know, just with some blue cheese mixed in. We getting everybody hungry now in the, I'm literally like, trying to figure out if there's any place that delivers that style of food. I don't think there is. Oh, does that okay.

Anybody in Austin can get jeans tell many. Yeah. It was not there. There are no Russian places anymore at all. Like they all shut down during Covid or well, they survived Covid and then they shut down during the well, the big thanks to Joe Biden for a special military operation. Yes. Yeah, that definitely looks the what you sent me definitely screams Hot Pocket. It's like the Hot Pocket people stole this and made it. Yeah. Totally accepted. This is way tastier. We had way this way more meat.

Yes. Pockets are a little sketchy. It's kind of like, Wait, there was supposed to be meat inside of this. Where is, you keep chewing and thinking, oh, it'll start the next, but probably. Yes, I do like the kill zone I bought at the Aldi the other day. It's like, where's. Oh gosh, where's the where's seal? You got an Aldi. Oh my God. You know like all that bad. No holding. It's it's poverty grocery store. Yeah that be more Aldi is good stuff.

Now here's the reason you started going to Aldi was because you enjoy, paying for a shopping cart. Is that why you start ordering? Man, it's great that if somebody leaves their cart in the, you know, without bringing it back, you get a free quarter. Unless they put a slug in it. Those bastards. The, Aldi. Yeah. Has all of the flavored potato chips, including ones that come in the sleeve like Pringles do. Yeah, and they have the same flavors that Pringle.

Not all of them, but they have, like, the sour cream and idea. They have the flavored Pringles, but they're the Aldi brand, so they do not have the MSG that the fucking actual Pringles puts in. Yeah. So what's the use? That is, they're better that I could eat them with. I could eat them without having the ocular migraine with aura. So that's why we started going to Aldi was because you guys, they, they carry, they can't even afford MSG. That's all right. Yeah.

They're so good. It is. They don't have the MSG. Oh my god. Yeah. That was interesting too. I mean the, and I don't eat cereal much like maybe once every two weeks or every month because otherwise I'm making scrambled eggs. I'm making oatmeal. So it's rare, but they have the, Frosted Mini Wheats, which is pretty much my go to cereal. Very basic frosted minute. How have you not developed diabetes is what I'd like to know. Again, only like about once a month, but with the frosted mini wheat.

So they have, you know, the strawberry and the blueberry Frosted Mini Wheats, but they don't put in the food dye, so it's not red and blue like the fucking stuff you get from, Kellogg's. So there's a few things that Aldi does that I think they do very well in, at least around here. They've remodeled a bunch of them and they are more along the line there. I don't think there's any question they're trying to compete with like the Whole Foods and stuff.

Now they're trying to make it more, you know, high end, although the pricing is still very good compared to the other supermarkets around. And that's is because of things like, well, you, you put a quarter in to get the cart and then you bagged your own fucking groceries, which some of the other places around here have started doing, which it's like, really, is it that bad?

But I guess to save, to pinch every penny, you know, they just put the shit right in your cart like you want a bag, bring your own bags. Yeah, it's in the 1970s. My memory of going to a Russian grocery store was you bring your own bags. They have a limited selection. There may not be toilet paper available. And you have to do your own, packing of the groceries. And there's a guy standing on the way out to make sure you didn't steal anything. Like, we're almost there.

We're very close to being there in this country. Hey. Well, we have that at Costco forever. The people that stand at the door and they go, that's true. Yeah. You got to bring your own bags to Costco, too. It's for your convenience, you know, you got to.

Yeah. It's America, baby. It's communist America. Maybe it's alternate, though, because MAGA isn't Costco one of those companies that's just digging their heels on the whole woke thing? Yeah, they're still like, we want to be woke. We want to be woke. Yeah. Disney and Target are turning on woke Costco. If that isn't enough to let you know which way the wind is currently blowing, you might want to, double check CSB again. Another question.

I'm tired of talking to you there, and I'm going to talk to CSB.

All right. You had, Galaxy, which is a, cabbage leaf stuffed with ground beef. Pork. Sounds like something we used to have called the lumpy. Is that does the same thing. If it's cabbage leaf stuff, then maybe the lump. Ki. What is the lump ki? It's it's called galaxy in Russian, but it might be called something else in other countries, and I don't know how to spell. So that is also very,

Oh, yeah. I bet Morris's casket was a Seattle company. I didn't realize that. So he said, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. I've been to that original Costco out there, and and I've been to the original Costco in California and yes, go lucky. Gol. Okay. I also spelled the lab key or whatever. There's Polish symbols, is a traditional Polish disc consisting of stuffed cabbage rolls.

Yeah. Oh, I love that stuff. Ground meat, rice or barley? Onions or seasonings. The cabbage are usually cooked in a tomato based sauce. Bake oven for an hour and a half. See, this is the kind of food that that got me to be fat back

when I was married, because my ex wife used to cook all this stuff that was really good. That's one thing I will never deny that my my ex wife was a very good cook. The names of all the traditional Russian foods is derived from the Polish

word for little pigeons, referring to the shape of the rolls. Yeah. So that's you. You know, you have candy called cows. You have candy called, bird note then you have little pigeons. I mean, do you sensing a theme here? Yes. The lumpy is a beloved dish which represents the hearty and flavorful nature of Polish cuisine, combining simple ingredients into a satisfying and comforting meal. Yeah, we're doing a whole show for Ksbw about his Polish heritage today.

Everybody apparently, if you want us to do a show about your hair, how about some potatoes with mushrooms? You need to come in with some big, big, big boosts. Yes, that's good stuff. I'm waiting for the boost. I'm just looking. I'm waiting. You know, I get another question from. So there's a salad that I've never understood. The name of it that is fairly traditional. So now we have a new segment, something I understand asked.

Yeah. It's called asks me so it's it's called the Olivier salad and I've never understood why the hell it's called Olivier, but it's basically a meat salad with with peas, peas, meat, eggs usually. Mayonnaise. Some kind of other chopped up. The name originates from its creator, Lucien Olivier. Yeah. So I don't trust your your eye based answers. And you were in Moscow in the 1860s. That was the head chef at the Hermitage, one of Moscow's most celebrated restaurant.

That's, That's where I used to be. Yeah. Yes, chef. Russian. Olivier. Interesting. So he's, actually a foreigner. Yeah. French. French. Sounds like. Yeah. So a French blue. I don't know how you created a salad. That would surprise, right? Yeah. What's he doing in Moscow? That is a good question. Besides working at the the restaurant called Wild game mayonnaise or game bird mayonnaise. There we go. That doesn't sound quite as good. It is a very tasty salad. Caviar, crawfish tails. Grouse.

It is a closely guarded secret that Olivier took to his grave. So, wait, nobody really knows how to make this anymore? No. Yeah. You just make it with mayonnaise. There are a bunch of mayo on a salad. That sounds very healthy. It's. It's a meat salad. In many parts of the world, it's called Russian salad. Yeah, yeah. And the guy's like, I'm fucking not Russian. I'm French and Belgian. Is that reason to, let's say Julian. Hey, if the I says so, I'm like, Wolf, I believe you.

And while another 3333 from CSB Clover I don't know mispronounce Polish food, but I am regular Pollock so I like and then he spells galumphing the way that the Polish would spell the Lemke. Yeah. Which is gallop in Russian. So it would have the, the CC in there if you did, if you spell it in Russian. See nobody was expecting Polish food talk when they tuned in to unrelenting DNA.

Yeah. Well and that's one of the things that I always do when I went to Chicago is I made sure on the way back before heading home, I would stop in one of the Polish restaurants on the north side, and we got a bunch of the south side. Now to what you didn't used to, I know, say they moved. Where was I with the North Side? Well, I don't know. I don't go to the north side, but, the Polish are probably trying to get out of the city into the, the suburbs.

Yeah, because the south side was not a place anybody wanted to have a restaurant back in the day. No. Now you got to go to, like, south suburbs. You have to be able to bypass still the south side. Remember, a city was expecting podcasting 2.0. No you weren't. Go back to bed. Yeah. There's no such thing that. That's good. You're never going to hear that show. It's not on the stream. Right? Not a thing. Dave and Adam are not going to talk about Columbia either.

Do you know the quality of the show just going to be right on downhill? What what's the point of having a a talk show where you don't talk about food? I know especially very, very specific foods from very, very specific countries that nobody can remember what it's called or how they're spelled. Eggplant caviar. You know, I kind of do want some pierogi on the, some stuff. Do you like stuffed peppers as well? That's got to be another big thing. Yeah, and the new.

Those are delightful when done right. I mean, the problem with buying, I haven't bought them from Costco recently because it was, like, the first time ever to went to Costco in a long time. They're the only ones that do them fairly well. Most everybody else now, these stuffed peppers are like 95% right. And it's like, screw that. Yeah, you gotta have a half meat. It's a half and half. It should be half and half. Yeah. And the rice makes it all stick together.

I want more meat because it's basically it's it's essentially a rice meatball inside of a pepper. Yes, exactly. It should be able to live without the pepper. Then you just throw a little cheese on top to make it look good. Cream. Oh, that would be nice, too. Oh, you really? Do you want to bake it with the sour cream on it does. No no no no. Yeah. You don't. You put the sour cream on your plate when you, when you have it. Yeah. You like potato pancakes. You. Those things are addictive. You know.

Yeah. They're very simple. Yeah. The the lackeys. I like potato pancakes, but it's been years since I've had them. And one of the problems with them is they're a lot more sensitive, I think, to the temperature than regular, pancakes made with, you know, just regular, flour. Like, it's really easy to burn. Potato pancake. Oh, yeah. You gotta know what you're doing. Come on, I'll tell you.

You scared me off Chicago by telling me that I can't be walking around the area that I used to stay in all the time. Would you bring your. If you bring a white tracksuit with the matching white pistols, you're good. People would be like, I'm not getting anywhere. To me, it kind of reminds me of the, Steve Martin bit, which is if you're walking down the street and you think you're about to be mugged.

Yeah. It's like like a crazy person urinate yourself crying and start just screaming random things like, nobody got any part of that. You know, that's true. We give you good advice here about reality. Yeah, that's not medical advice. Yeah. And let me show you. I don't care what Ryan member says. This was a quality show.
