Keith Malinak (:

you you

Keith Malinak (:

Oh, how'd y'all like that little bonus material to start? See, I couldn't put that in the regular show. Welcome to Friday, by the way, because I had the music underneath it. And I didn't want to cause a pain in the arse for Wes later when it came to editing and YouTube and all that stuff. So I thought I would throw that in at the beginning. So I put a hidden track there at the beginning of the Friday live stream. Thanks for hanging out with us today. I'm going to bring Wes in here in just a moment. The aforementioned West, that sounds kind of

professional sounding, right? So he's gonna walk us through some of the changes over at the website that he's been working so hard on. And it's just a great job over there at atm show.com at the mic show.com, whichever you prefer. That is something you need a bookmark, because it's got everything there. It's got the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday is broken into sections. And I'm going to bring him in here in just a moment. I do want to let you know that you should also follow us over Instagram at the mic show, where Gabby

runs things and here, here's Wes and Gabby's handles as you know, at second floor Dallas for Wes over on X at Jeffy Apologist for Gabby over on X. Let me stand by here. So much stuff going on here. I need to show y'all, and let me get Wes in here. Wes is standing by. Hey, Wes, did you see, what's going on with, with Brad over his layer today?

Wes Castelhano (:

See.

Wes Castelhano (:

No, I haven't seen what was going on. What's up.

Keith Malinak (:

Okay, so first he tweets out this video a couple hours ago. So watch this, here we go.

Brad Staggs (:

that was that was a little scary. Here or not. Hear that beepin?

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, his dungeon is scary.

Brad Staggs (:

Just working on.

installing a new piece of equipment.

Wes Castelhano (:

Dude, it's like watching a crappy player wish.

Brad Staggs (:

So I'm gathering my thoughts while I'm I heard a lot of pop behind me. And then I smelled an electrical smell and it's like, what the hell is that? And then one of my power sources, the uninterruptible power source, went pop. And of course scared doc kiddies straight out of the entire motel.

Keith Malinak (:

That's not good.

Brad Staggs (:

and now I'm here trying to figure out why that thing was A on fire and B smoking. I'll keep you updated. Everybody's fine but don't play with electricity kids. Yeah. in school. More to come.

Wes Castelhano (:

Keith Malinak (16:08.92)

Don't stay in school.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah. So that's kind of how the setup here over at second floor is the, it's like a college dorm room.

Keith Malinak (:

Okay, yeah, that's like, there's an updated picture of Brad.

Wes Castelhano (:

That's pretty accurate. Yeah, I mean, hey, for all you yeah.

Keith Malinak (:

That's right. So, okay. Well, I hope things improve for Mr. Brad over at the DailyMojo.com. But apparently there's been some fire activity and he actually tweeted out a picture of the server or the power supply outside. It's just, it's been a rough day for Brad over there. I feel responsible because it seems like every time he is about to go onto the Friday live stream, it's the last two weeks now.

Something technical has happened on his end and I'm sure it's me because I don't know man. I break things very easily just by extension, but but that's why I have you. Yeah.

Wes Castelhano (:

It's not.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, that's cleaning up the Wednesday. That was easy,

Keith Malinak (:

Don't get me started the audio on Wednesday. Brad and I a little Simon Cast fun and maybe it didn't turn out the way we had planned but we're a work in progress.

Wes Castelhano (:

growing pains, man. We got to figure it out the workflow. But thank you to, I noticed one thing when I was able to, I woke up at like four and I was like, crap, I gotta get the show up. When I got it up on YouTube, people were starting to watch it already. So we got a little, like a little happy out pre Pat gray.

Keith Malinak (:

Hey, well look at that! See people?

Keith Malinak (:

I can't see the screen that everybody else is seeing, you should see the new and approved ATM show.com at themikeshow.com get you there. Wes, you've been hard at work. Look at this, man. Let me brag for a second and then you tell us where we should take you. But look at this, man. You got the Wednesday wild Wednesday. Well, what do we call it? Wild card Wednesday.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah. I think at first we went with, let's get wild. I meant to change that, but yeah.

Wes Castelhano (:

I finally got to use that image up top.

Keith Malinak (:

get the Friday happy hour I mean look at this man so so I'm gonna go back to the home page ATM show.com what do want to point out anything.

Wes Castelhano (:

So I noticed too First of all, I realized that with the buttons that they look a little miss. They're not all level Here's what here's what happened with Squarespace is that you can only choose You choose the theme color and then the buttons can only be that so Keith's like hey, you know Orange for Wednesday. I'm like that seems like a very reasonable request, but they all would have been different. So what I did was

create a created three images and link them. But the thing is Squarespace has this weird thing about padding. I guys, I realized that. So I understand I'm trying really hard. I actually upgraded. I upgraded the website to have code injection so I can fix that stuff anyway.

Keith Malinak (:

Well, but look at this. I like how down here, slap back here. I'm hearing myself. I see you got the YouTube link. There's Spotify, there's Apple. A lot of you guys like rumble. I think

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, so I think going on with rumble, not too long ago. I remember you saying like,

Keith Malinak (:

Trouble is not easy to connect to. That's why we don't broadcast live there. I there's a button missing here for

Wes Castelhano (:

bad publicity or something that happened to it. don't remember. You said like a month ago, you're like, maybe we should just hold off on.

Keith Malinak (:

No, no, it's not bad publicity. It's it's that there's multiple code layers to it I can't just type in my login and a password in order to get to it. I have to like get some weird strange thing That I have to I have to copy and paste it every week. It seems I Very we would be live on rumble if it was just a simple approach But for some reason they have a multi-layered thing and I can barely get this thing on the air

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, no, it is. It's a great.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, so what I'll do is after today that word says YouTube, because obviously if you click the YouTube thumbnail, I'll change where it says YouTube below and those little players that will become rumbled.

Keith Malinak (:

you don't want to just make both of them? I don't know. You do what you want to do. now hold on a second now. So more about Keith. What's this all about? my gosh.

Wes Castelhano (:

Here's a tips for the exposure.

Wes Castelhano (:

I'm gonna wear a little photo shoot and I want-

Keith Malinak (:

I'm looking at sections for Brad, Rebecca and Kelly.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, so if you click read more or read bio

Yeah, it's one of those things like all your requests, it's not, I'm never mad when you ask for one. It's like, just, it's so, it's objectively simple. You know, it sounds reasonable, but then it just goes into something. Yeah. So it's all good.

Keith Malinak (:

Okay. It's on a mind of its own there. Yeah. Yes. Anyway, I just wanted to get you on here and you and make sure that everybody knows that you have been hard at work.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, and there's more to come. working on all those cool videos that you guys like. I'm really glad you like today's Run DMC. Rock the mic. I even I try to... I'm a very white guy and I try to rewrite the King of Rock by...

Keith Malinak (:

If people have suggestions something that they want to see yeah, I should send you a message right at second floor Dallas

Wes Castelhano (:

at second floor Dallas, second floor Dallas on Instagram, Wes at second floor studios.co that's the second floor studios.co is the website, but yeah, I'm to make a page for all your, those videos, those promo videos. So you guys can, if you want to relive them and then I'm making, cause I know that tpublic.com forward slash that's too much. So there will be a store page that will, you'll have them all listed on here and it'll be a click through.

Keith Malinak (:

You're awesome, You're going to make like a player and stuff. I love how Mary like, don't point out that slightly out of alignment, you know. the OCD kick in.

Wes Castelhano (:

Thank you. Yes. Thank you. Yeah. don't know. Yeah. So that's what we like to do. But just so you know, like if you buy off a T public, we just design it. But if you do the tribe lens shirts or the some of the softest, nice ones, we don't really make money off of it, but we love. I love.

Keith Malinak (:

T-shirt store. you, uh, is there a link there?

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, so I'm gonna so it's it's a yeah, so the longer one, you know people don't want to remember So if you go to ATM the next week There will be a section where you can just click on that and then when you find the shirt you like It will click right to see public

Keith Malinak (:

I'd to send Rebecca something about a norks.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yes. Yeah. And so, and everybody out there listening right now, I'm watching, there are certain designs you like from thumbnails. That's really what I'm pulling from. I know you said you and your Nana with Jimmy Carter was one. Nana. Yeah. So I'll do like one specific, I want to do the Lego U, you know, some of the classics. Yeah. So I got some, some ideas, but I feel like the amount of thumbnails I've created for you and I'm not complaining.

It's really pushing me. there's we got a lot to choose from.

Keith Malinak (:

I can't wait, Be your creative self and...

Wes Castelhano (:

Thank you for wrangling me in sometimes where I'm just like so over the top and you're like, no, just bring it back in. So my favorite movie, The Dark Knight, the opening shot.

Keith Malinak (:

What's your picture back there? What do you got?

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, so this is the right one, the joke right before they pull up. if you if you watch it, if you love the movie, he or I mean, it's just the first opening scene, the bank robbery scene, the dark night is like a masterpiece. So it's just such a cool shot. And I got a huge discount on it. Yeah, well, it was supposed to be five dollars. I got it for 60. So.

Keith Malinak (:

Sure honest,

Keith Malinak (:

I love a bargain. love a bargain.

Wes Castelhano (:

All right. Hey, but you got to promise me and anybody that's in Dallas. I completely revamped Ali lit this well because I just revamped everything. So please come check it out. Yes.

Keith Malinak (:

So people need to use a studio, they should reach out to Lord Dallas.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, West second floor studios.co just hit me up I'm very cheap or you just want to see this shit But try to get Keith over here so we can do we got a whole lounge set up. We can do it the way you want All right, man. Thanks for having me on it. So good. All right Cheers everybody. Thank you

Keith Malinak (:

All right.

Have a good weekend, man.

All right, there is hero West in the flesh Just been working hard on the website there. So I'm grateful for him. Let me just try to catch up on some of these Deals here. Yeah, I just got the notification there. I see it was a little late today I mean, I'm not gonna lie a little late on the YouTube notification but see that's I try to make believe it or not as Demanding as I am. I try to make it easier for West with

I just started realizing yesterday that I can go live on YouTube after the 10 minutes of music play, 10, roughly 10, 12 minutes of music play on X. And that's just to let everybody know, hey, look, we're here if you want to kind of cozy on in and hang out in the lobby. But I can't do that on YouTube because then Wes has to go and he does not mind, as you can see, he's the most chilled down the planet. But I just don't want to have to bother him with trimming out that music at the beginning. Otherwise, YouTube freaks out. You can't play music, damn you. And so.

That's why I'm trying to go live on YouTube after the music. A little inside baseball there for you. the one person project where I ask you to please just share the show or a website or whatever with one person. That's all. That's all. Not a big demand, not a big ask. Just share it with anybody. Somebody you hate. Somebody you want to reconnect with. Just say, hey, I haven't talked to you in a while, mostly because I hate your guts. But I thought of you because of this here show.

Keith Malinak (:

And so you should you should watch it and then we can talk about it and give us something to complain about that Keith guy, you know. Let's see if I got any other housekeeping notes for you. Obviously, as always, please like, subscribe, rate, review all the things here. All the handles if you need them at Keith Malinak. Well, if you're watching live right here on Friday afternoon, you're most likely there on X at Keith Malinak. There's Wes at Second floor Dallas at Jeffy Apologies. We've gone over that out real Brad stags.

at our Mr. Reagan and at Kelly for Freedom. Now, here's the thing. I showed you the problems that Brad was having and he is frantically trying to join us. Now, let me just check a little something here from, we've already told you yesterday, if you watch or Wednesday on the, I thought I mentioned it, I got note that Kelly is doing something with her boys. She's being a mom. How dare she? She's sure she'll be back next week. Because if she's not, she's out.

No, so she's expected next week. Kelly should be back next week. So you Kelly fans Hang in there It's gonna be March the 6th. She'll be back here now Brad I said obviously had a like a nine alarm fire in his studio and And Rebecca sends this The the little little little baby Viking who was a big part of last week's show as you know Until she just couldn't take it anymore

I'm talking about little baby Viking not Rebecca. Although maybe she was using her as an excuse anyway, so Right now Rebecca is working to get the little girl to sleep Apparently has a bad tummy ache Baby the baby has a bad tummy ache. So We'll see if she jumps on here. I do want to because see I have this game and we've talked about

I talked to you about the old sports show there in Omaha. Rebecca's got to participate in this because Toby, one of our listeners, he plays bridge. And let's just put it this way. It's kind of a collaboration effort here between Toby and Rebecca. And we want to bring this little contest where you, you, yeah, talking to you, have the opportunity. I haven't quite figured this out, but I think what we're going to do is

Keith Malinak (:

I think if you want to win one of these at the Mike show hats that I can't reach because I didn't plan ahead, I think we're going to do a game, know, almost like a crazy wacky radio morning show game. And I just, I just need to make sure that Rebecca is here and that you want to play. if you want to win one of those hats, I'm going to try to give one away. Hopefully every week is the goal, unless I forget, which is quite possible.

So let me just let me just catch up here on some of these Let's see. you know what? Yeah, that's right. So did she post that that she's Doing some teaching today corrupting young minds She's probably teaching them the Constitution which which kids need to learn, you know, mmm Let me just see here. I'm just I'm scrolling around here because a lot lot happening here

you're at the Atlanta Airport. I've been there many a time there Jonathan That's just a fun place here. Yes. Thank you. Hit the like button already, right? Hit the like button. Thank you, Susan. Hit the like button. I am not too proud to Okay

Let's see, I'm just trying to, what's this say? Well, I can't. OK, I'll repeat it for people coming in. Why I post the people's info. I love that. Yes, thank you. genius always posting everybody's handles and whatnot. look at this. Who's this guy at second floor Dallas? look at that. Ha ha. Yeah, what's up, Wes? I missed you. missed you. You hanging around there, huh?

Wes Castelhano (:

What's up, brother?

Yeah, I was well when I heard what was going on. I was like, you know, I know, know, I'll check. I'll check what's going on. Yeah. If you if you needed some help, I'm happy to be here. All right.

Keith Malinak (:

Okay, all right, well.

Keith Malinak (:

Well, I appreciate that. don't want to keep you. I wanted you to be able to send you on your way.

Wes Castelhano (:

I don't have it. Well, I know I can't curse, but I don't have F to do so. It fixed my camera.

Keith Malinak (:

time out. Let me just let me let me put Wes here for a second here. Let me just hang on. Let's just family meeting. So Wes just inadvertently showed that he doesn't doesn't doesn't get to catch too much of the show. Just by that little admission about not being able to curse on the show, if you will. Let me bring him back in here. Hey, Wes. No, it's just we don't like we don't really like to drop the GDs if we could just keep those.

Wes Castelhano (:

Okay, well, that's if that's the if that's the issue, then I have no problem.

Keith Malinak (:

Yeah, let's leave God and Jesus out of it. And then I think we're good. Do you have a memo or something that I can flash up here on the screen for you? I love to be able to, if people want to donate to all of your efforts.

Wes Castelhano (:

yeah, I'll put something up. I'm sorry. I'm like, I had the, the live stream on one monitor and I'm looking at this monitor and I'm like trying to like the camera. I know. But yeah, I'll, I'll get some stuff up there, but,

Keith Malinak (:

But it's so funny right now that people can't see behind the scenes is that Brad's studio, it's like it's literally duct tape and chewing gum right now. I'm looking down here at the screen and I can see when people log on. so Brad has his computer connected. I don't dare bring up his computer because it is quite honestly, what I'm looking at is the most offensive picture that I have maybe ever been exposed to.

And so I don't have a camera for Brad yet. It's kind of, it's working on it. But his computer is up and do I dare put Brad's computer screen? I'm telling you, I'm warning you right

Wes Castelhano (:

That's that is a that is even the

Keith Malinak (:

Okay, so it is it may be the most offensive thing we've ever seen on the Friday live stream. They put this up. It's Hillary Clinton, ladies and gentlemen, the most offensive you've ever seen in your life. There it is. Okay, so all right. Well, I can't take any contestants for the game because they don't have Rebecca to play the game. And she is the most important part of

Wes Castelhano (:

like a P rated R for

Wes Castelhano (:

Look at that smoke, bro.

Keith Malinak (:

of the game. We're going to try to do that.

Wes Castelhano (:

Maybe she's curling her baby down the...

Keith Malinak (:

She's trying to get the baby. Hey, look at this. Hey, Brad, what's up?

Wes Castelhano (:

man does that mean I have to leave now?

Keith Malinak (:

you

Brad Staggs (:

It's awfully lonely down here in the bottom of the well.

Keith Malinak (:

No one said you had to stay down in the well.

Brad Staggs (:

I can get out of the well now?

Keith Malinak (:

Yeah, I apologize for.

Wes Castelhano (:

I mean, if you

Brad Staggs (:

But you said, stay where you are. I'm like, wait down here. And he's like, yeah, stay down. I'm like, wait, you're white and you're the white dude holding me down.

Keith Malinak (:

I did show your computer monitor. hope it's pretty offensive there. What you got going on there?

Brad Staggs (:

yeah, her. Hang on, I'm gonna get it.

Keith Malinak (:

There's only so much I can take of her. You know, she has been in our public, I'm not talking about Arkansas. Arkansas, y'all been exposed to her for a lot longer. there's another thought. It's the fact that for a quarter century, that chick was a part of our politics. And then Donald Trump came along and extinguished that threat.

And now we're still having to see her pop up. I swear she's probably going to run it.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, she's like the band that will say, this is our last tour. And it's like, I love Motley Crue, right? And Vince Neil just can't sing. It's like, dude, just just bow out, man. Just

Brad Staggs (:

How do you feel about Rush touring again?

Wes Castelhano (:

I know how great Neil Pert is and Geddy Lee, but I was just never really big about it. Yeah, so I mean.

Brad Staggs (:

I'm sorry. I came into the wrong room. thought the cool kids were in here. I'm sorry.

Wes Castelhano (:

No, I'm more like Stewart Copeland to me is one of my favorite drugs. Yeah, you're like the worst.

Brad Staggs (:

I love Metallica.

Keith Malinak (:

Hold on a second. Are these EMF rocks? Are they doing anything for me? Like what should I be doing with these? I look gayer by holding an EMF rock?

Brad Staggs (:

You gayer.

Brad Staggs (:

I mean

Wes Castelhano (:

He shaved it to that really thin, what's the guy's name from the 70s that had the really thin mustache? John Waters, was that his name? I don't know.

Brad Staggs (:

You're going to be more specific than dude.

Wes Castelhano (:

I'll figure it out anyway

Brad Staggs (:

EmoPhillips

Keith Malinak (:

Hey, let's, hang on a second. me, I wanna.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah.

Brad Staggs (:

By the way,

Wes Castelhano (:

One year since the last time us three have been on right is it there go that was a year ago you guys came here and Brett that's what I trying to say man you got to come check out the place it looks a lot different

Brad Staggs (:

Was that a year?

Brad Staggs (:

Is the homeless guy still sleeping across the street with a classic?

Wes Castelhano (:

The music is playing at the 7-eleven as it's determined Hey man, well, I'm in uptown. I'm in Turtle Creek

Brad Staggs (:

I know we'll get rid of the homeless by playing classical music downtown.

Wes Castelhano (:

Dude, it works. It actually works.

Keith Malinak (:

what that does is it kind of it classes up the joint and it makes the homeless people want to have people over you know.

Wes Castelhano (:

But like people laugh about it, but I mean, they don't stay there for long. Cause there's only so much you

Brad Staggs (:

because they're playing hard rock down the street where it's more.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, I've listening to my crappy drum room while I'm trying to play slipn...

Keith Malinak (:

Okay, so let's so well I can't play the Rebecca game here and you know shame on the baby for needing its mom

Wes Castelhano (:

I know, my work. Free rides over here, like, contributing to the household.

Keith Malinak (:

Okay, let's play a game and it's gonna be called Creepy or Cool, okay? And the audience can play along, just let the videos play and I wanna get your feedback. Is this creepy or is it cool? I mean, look at the tongue on that thing. That's a hummingbird.

Keith Malinak (:

What do think of that?

Brad Staggs (:

Make a, just making noise like or is that.

Keith Malinak (:

No, that was the TikTok.

Wes Castelhano (:

So I'm going to go because I love the movie Howard Stern private parts. I don't know if you remember that where they go. You have to fill in the words. So I'm going to go with, know, just say like my answer. So I'm going to reveal. is it creepy or. If I was into birds, man, that's cool. But.

Brad Staggs (:

Made him look like not a dick.

Keith Malinak (:

All right.

Keith Malinak (:

Is creepier or cool? Come on,

Keith Malinak (:

Thank

Brad Staggs (:

Well, I'm not a gay Klingon, so I'm gonna say it's cool.

Wes Castelhano (:

It's oppressive.

Keith Malinak (:

Okay. All right.

Brad Staggs (:

You'll get to split tongue too. That's like, yeah.

Keith Malinak (:

I see creepy and cool represented in the chat. So that's interesting. All right, got a we got a

Wes Castelhano (:

Just wouldn't have thought that that's just more just bizarre

Brad Staggs (:

Last hummingbird I kissed did not have a tongue nearly that long. So it was.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, mean, you missed out because I got a sanctuary right down the road, man. can go.

Keith Malinak (:

Hold on a second. Let's park the show right there for a moment, Brad. Tell us about you and your hummingbird.

Brad Staggs (:

Okay. Right. No, I don't kiss and tell you think I'm just going to like get in here and tell stories.

Wes Castelhano (:

I think you meant a mer-bird.

Keith Malinak (:

Alright, so there's a there's an oyster or what have you. Cookie Monster or Elmo. that the is that creepy or is that cool?

Brad Staggs (:

That's how I'm.

Wes Castelhano (:

I'm

Wes Castelhano (:

That if I felt that that would be an awesome fire, I cool.

Brad Staggs (:

Well, if you think of it in terms of it, the saw split his face in half. That's kind of creepy.

Wes Castelhano (:

That's mortifying yeah, yeah, dude, why'd you have to go there man?

Brad Staggs (:

the game creepier cool. So you got to consider both angles.

Wes Castelhano (:

how it happened.

Keith Malinak (:

So what do we got? We're going with Creepy for Brad.

Wes Castelhano (:

Well now I would say cool, but now we forgot with actions. How did those little holes get in there? I don't know. Maybe it was the hummingbird's tongue

Keith Malinak (:

James thinks it's cool.

Brad Staggs (:

Nice tie nice tie. You did a bad excellent

Wes Castelhano (:

Bye.

Jeff you would be proud of me on that one.

Keith Malinak (:

All right, all right, so now we're gonna go to this cat here. All right, so this cat is just standing up. What is happening? What the? It's just creepy. is it?

Wes Castelhano (:

Awesome, no matter what.

Wes Castelhano (:

That's badass, it's cool.

Brad Staggs (:

What is he looking at is what I want to know that doesn't matter because whatever's making him do that is

Keith Malinak (:

Creeping him out.

Wes Castelhano (:

So I did find out why.

Keith Malinak (:

What do we got? got? What do we got? Creepy or cool?

Wes Castelhano (:

like crazy awesome cool.

Brad Staggs (:

That's cool, except it's a little creepy thinking about what's making him do it.

Wes Castelhano (:

So there is, from what I understand is because of the frame rate per second that cats can see at like 60 frames or the amount, they can, they see what we can't see. That's why they can see better in low light. And that's why they react faster. Cause it's like their bullet time is actually just because of how fast they can see things.

Keith Malinak (:

I will say, I was at a diner. Okay, and and so this cat, I'm sorry, let me back up. I remember a textbook said that cats do have incredible vision. They just need a little hint of light. It's almost like they have night vision, but they cannot see directly below them. Like it's all out here.

Wes Castelhano (:

That's from what I read.

Brad Staggs (:

They can't because I'll put a treat in my hand and that kitty he and I thought if you look at their eye line, yeah, it's their mouth gets in their way.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, they're on

Keith Malinak (:

I can see the world, but they can't see right here in front of them. And so I finished up at the diner yesterday and I was backing up from the table, gathering up all my stuff. And then I realized there was like a couple of bites of egg at the front of the plate. And that's I remembered. I wasn't even going to bring this up. I remembered my textbook from like sixth grade, Cats and Fishing. And then when you brought up.

the way that they can see Wes. I remembered that yesterday. It was like the weirdest thing and I felt like, am I a freaking cat? was right there.

Wes Castelhano (:

It's crazy man, but like it's I know I got my two kittens and I love them to death so like I want because Keanu will just stare Well, well, yeah, but after that Kyla so Kyla came from Yeah, so Kyla was the we were trying to think of something like McConaughey before we even got her then it just kind of somehow got to Kyla

Brad Staggs (:

It's possible.

Brad Staggs (:

Reeves?

Keith Malinak (:

The other one's name.

Keith Malinak (:

Like the alliteration there.

Wes Castelhano (:

I love it. The movie Keanu with the cat that makes one of with Keane Peel, which is amazing. It's hilarious that we Keanu just is Keanu.

Keith Malinak (:

Okay.

Brad Staggs (:

Hold on before you move on. Did I show this the cat catching the bat midair?

Keith Malinak (:

I gotta go hang on a second. Can you? Yeah, hold on to that. Hold on to that.

Brad Staggs (:

Sorry, gotta, have to do gymnastics. I rescued this from the fire just for you.

Keith Malinak (:

Well, then save it because I want to see it. But first, I want to show you guys. I got a few more of these creepier calls. Don't forget, you can chime in on the chat here. But this guy apparently goes to Airbnbs. And when he checks out, he folds up his pillowcases and his sheets and leaves a little gift for the housekeeping. Looks like a mummified individual in bed. That's just sheets and blankets.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, so that's the get the Uber Creeks, man. No, dude. Unless there was like money underneath that, then it's really worth it.

Keith Malinak (:

creepy or is it cool?

Brad Staggs (:

both.

Keith Malinak (:

But see, this goes back to my evil hypothesis. If you're doing something like that and you're not sticking around to enjoy the joke yourself, you're down the road and have no connection to the reveal moment, I think that you're evil.

Wes Castelhano (:

When you go tell the joke, you're like, dude, I totally got this guy.

Keith Malinak (:

Right, is that wrong of me? Is that counter there that that that you're not there for the it just sounds wrong for me to say if you're not there for the entertainment, well, then it's

Brad Staggs (:

How do you know that they don't record it somehow and

Keith Malinak (:

Alright.

I don't know.

Brad Staggs (:

I know they don't have

Wes Castelhano (:

Can you steal, like, can you go into my computer screen or no, or you have to give permission?

I got a lot of adorable cat.

Brad Staggs (:

I can get into your computer screen right now.

Keith Malinak (:

Okay, so check it out. Check it out. All right. This is a caterpillar. Okay. And what you're looking at, I know you're not going to believe me, but what you're looking at is the caterpillar's ass. sorry. Thank you. I'm glad you said that. All right. You're looking at a caterpillar's backside that looks like a snake and it's his defensive mechanism. is not, that looks like a decapitated snake.

Brad Staggs (:

So looking at a dude in a bed.

Keith Malinak (:

That is actually a caterpillar and the stuff that looks like the snake's head is the tail end. The tail that you're looking at, the one that looks like the head. thank you for repeating that. And so she turns around. Look at that.

Wes Castelhano (:

Whoa, just that cool, right?

Keith Malinak (:

that it's made to look like a snake and this come on now

Wes Castelhano (:

That is wild. is...

Brad Staggs (:

ass.

Keith Malinak (:

or cool. I have never heard of this. I googled it and it's real.

Brad Staggs (:

Snake Girl.

Wes Castelhano (:

of

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, from a televisions or computer screen. Cool. Nature.

Brad Staggs (:

I'd kill it. You just step on it immediately. Turn it into mush. Do not allow that to live. So,

Keith Malinak (:

So creepy. Too creepy to let it live.

Brad Staggs (:

Yeah, it's just a die. should find.

Wes Castelhano (:

This is not Dio, how about it man? will watch that planet Earth all day.

Brad Staggs (:

them all.

Keith Malinak (:

can hit the chat here. Everyone's torn, it looks like. OK, one last creepy or cool. What you're about to see is this young lady has bionic arms. She has no arms. then, OK, so watch this. So what happens is she's to feed their brain.

Brad Staggs (:

This is height one.

Wes Castelhano (:

Keith Malinak (45:12.078)

OK, so watch this. She's controlling it with her brain. So the guy's going to put it on the table there, and she's telling it what to do with her brain. What to? Oh, no.

Brad Staggs (:

Great.

Wes Castelhano (:

I also noticed a white-

Brad Staggs (:

Killer. Killer. Too creepy to live. Find her. Killer. Put her with the caterpillars.

Keith Malinak (:

Let's think this through. Okay. I'll be too hasty here, Brad.

Brad Staggs (:

I don't know. I don't think I'm being hasty. That's just too creepy and she's Borg.

Wes Castelhano (:

I think I think for me, I mean, I don't understand the neural impulses when it's attached to you. The that it's what I'm thinking.

Keith Malinak (:

It's absolute Bluetooth magic from her brain!

Wes Castelhano (:

Right. I don't know if somebody's in the lady in the sex industry that it's a whole new

Brad Staggs (:

What if I told you that that was AI?

Keith Malinak (:

Is it?

Are Googling for me right now?

Brad Staggs (:

Yeah, no, I'm not Googling any for you. I don't do your job. But what if I told you that was AI?

Wes Castelhano (:

I would be surprised man, what we can do now-

Keith Malinak (:

I don't think it is.

Brad Staggs (:

I didn't say it was, I just said what if I told you it was AI?

Keith Malinak (:

I had to run, you have to run everything through that. And I have actually, it's funny you mentioned that I have another video today that Grok answers it both ways. Like Grok doesn't even know what is AI and what's not AI anymore. It's not a he. It's an it.

Brad Staggs (:

He doesn't even know that he's AI.

Brad Staggs (:

I'm not going to call it that's rude. gets his feelings hurt. Yeah. Since it is West knows Wes has told me before how much sensitivity is in grog.

Keith Malinak (:

He's

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, so mean, we call each other every Wednesday of a group, you know, me and him.

Keith Malinak (:

so sorry to hear this. Hold on, let me play this for you. Okay, Grok doesn't know if this is AI or not. Look, Mr. Camera, see? He's masked.

Wes Castelhano (:

There's no way that little girl could hold that thing up.

Keith Malinak (:

down, put it down right now. But he's so... That's a wild animal! He's not a sub-combo.

Brad Staggs (:

Is that a lynx?

Keith Malinak (:

The mountain lion or whatever the hell yeah, so Bobcat yeah, thank you. Thank you Bobcat

Brad Staggs (:

I thought the ears were Lynx ears.

Keith Malinak (:

So there was a big discussion down here. And Mr. Cameron. So this right here, see how it's see how it's all blurred there.

Wes Castelhano (:

So

Brad Staggs (:

Thanks.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, it's

Keith Malinak (:

But I watched another video where it's blurred and it's 100 % real. So I don't know anymore,

Wes Castelhano (:

What about the physics of that little girl catching a bug?

Keith Malinak (:

That's the thing. That's where people. Okay. That's where everyone land.

Brad Staggs (:

So links.

Wes Castelhano (:

Okay.

Brad Staggs (:

Links are so much lighter than bobcats

Wes Castelhano (:

I'm pretty sure that girl's not dead lifting in her off time to lift that thing up though. That's all I'm saying.

Keith Malinak (:

What you think of this video here? And again, I don't know the answer. So I'm not setting you guys up. Is this real or is this AI? There's another video. And it's this chick playing soccer here. She's got her drink in the hand. And she's like, aha, look at you, kid. You're dumb.

she's like smiling. She's, I think this real.

Wes Castelhano (:

Noooo

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, that looks real. The only if he did it like a little dance over her like how do like me now? Then it would be AI. But I was that straight.

Keith Malinak (:

And this is not a penalty as people were pointing out. He made contact with the ball first. yep. Look at that.

Wes Castelhano (:

look at that.

Brad Staggs (:

She's a rookie though. She spilled the wine. Right there.

Keith Malinak (:

See how she's trying to play it off and she's laughing and stuff? I think that's

Wes Castelhano (:

How's that dry cleaning bill gonna happen?

Brad Staggs (:

was impressed until she spilled it and then she's just a rookie ex-wife.

Wes Castelhano (:

So Keith, to go back to the Bionic arm. I've found multiple sites and articles. So the company called Open Bionics, this is a real thing.

Keith Malinak (:

What?

Keith Malinak (:

because I think the signals coming from her brain down to her hand and then Bluetooth off of the arm into the hand, huh?

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah. So, um, it's basically, I'm trying to just peruse it kind of, I don't want to like have to. I'm totally making it up.

Brad Staggs (:

You're making that up, Wes.

Keith Malinak (:

I think.

you know, he was unbelievable with his lies

Wes Castelhano (:

It just can go.

Brad Staggs (:

It hurts me to hear you talk like that Wes, quite frankly. I'm bringing this up at group on Wednesday. Just so know.

Wes Castelhano (:

I know,

Okay, but it's your turn to bring the whiskey.

Keith Malinak (:

I thought you guys did phone calls on Wednesday now. It's okay

Wes Castelhano (:

So it uses a wireless EMG, electro myography, electrodes that the company calls myopods and they are placed on top of the amputee specific muscle signals. In other words, it's fully muscle operated. Wow. It just connects. Yeah. So

Brad Staggs (:

Group, it's a group.

Keith Malinak (:

I don't know how I feel about that.

Brad Staggs (:

Yes, I'll-

Wes Castelhano (:

It's going to be cool until the government gets a hold of it.

Brad Staggs (:

Yeah. Until she's doing something, you know, and then the thing takes over.

Wes Castelhano (:

Until it's a pornhub calls her up and it's like, we got a new,

Brad Staggs (:

That's horror porn after that when they melt

Keith Malinak (:

Now, a lot of people say this is AI. I feel this is not AI. It's called cats with phones. I mean, look at this. got a cat. Uh-oh, wait. Owner's coming. Don't let him. Hide the phone! Hide the phone!

Wes Castelhano (:

I see that. I love that.

Brad Staggs (:

Got AI.

Keith Malinak (:

That's not AI at all.

Wes Castelhano (:

No, I get Keanu doing that all the time.

Brad Staggs (:

Why would, Doc Kitty is.

Keith Malinak (:

Look at that. That's awesome. Wait, how many cats is this same lady? back to the first cat. here they go. Cover up. your eyes. Close your eyes.

Wes Castelhano (:

So do they, you know, you have to like kind of like mirror it off of like some sort of experience. this what you have to do. This looks like a 13 year old that just would take himself to a cat.

Brad Staggs (:

That was Balderdash or whatever the cat.

Keith Malinak (:

That's Rebecca's cat, Baldur. Look at this. you better hide. See, the cat's in their phones, man. They're trouble. I just love them. Oh, look, they're starting early, man. Little iPad baby. Look at that.

Brad Staggs (:

Balder.

Brad Staggs (:

Get his brother.

Brad Staggs (:

That's how they

Wes Castelhano (:

But those are awesome.

Keith Malinak (:

no! He's pissed! He's gonna claw up a face! Yeah, I'll give you that,

Brad Staggs (:

Well, that was kind of rude.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah. Uh-oh. yeah. So Keith, I was going to say what Keanu and everybody looks like. got my whole little.

Keith Malinak (:

I don't have a- I can't see your-

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, I can do I'm just gonna dare to share a screen. Here we go. So you want to see what I'm proud of my babies. Can you guys see you? you can

Keith Malinak (:

What you're talking about here. Oh, you want me to open it right now? see it now. All right. There we go. Oh, look at your little baby.

Wes Castelhano (:

Those are my little lions. So yeah.

Keith Malinak (:

Is that all you take pictures of? Is it just the cats?

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, with Victoria, they have like five pictures from the past two years. She's doing good. The cancer marker is below way below the threshold. Good. She has hernias that will the surgery will be on Tuesday. So and then hopefully this nightmare is finally over. But her hair has grown back a lot. good. So we're just trying to the she's got four because of the full surgery.

Keith Malinak (:

How's she doing, How's Vic?

Wes Castelhano (:

She's got four abdominal hernias and it's just, yeah. So I wish health insurance covered CBD and weed. Right. Thank you. The lady at the CBD store that was right by the right by our apartment. Like they, they hook it up and she, but that's just what helped her. And so

Keith Malinak (:

Tuesday's the big day when he

Brad Staggs (:

It won't cause it works.

Wes Castelhano (:

You know, but she's doing, she's doing a lot better. ready for a 2026 is going to be a good year. that's Yeah. And really think it to everybody, you know, that's only like last year you guys were awesome. That really does help because medical bills are one thing you can do payment plans and things like that. But it's the day to day stuff that when it's a single income now, that's what gets expensive, you know, or just the rides or you got to miss work for a day. Cause you got, you know, just it's those little things that just.

Thank you to everybody. Truly from the bottom of my heart, I really do appreciate it. So again,

Brad Staggs (:

Call the Somalis up in Minnesota. They're good at this.

Wes Castelhano (:

the

Keith Malinak (:

Crap.

Keith Malinak (:

I

last thing in this realm of is it AI or is not? at the same time that it's progressing, AI still has its limitations, obviously. well, you're about to find out when it comes to like spelling simple words. Watch this.

Brad Staggs (:

Like what?

Brad Staggs (:

many Rs are there in strawberry?

Wes Castelhano (:

Strawberry has two R's in it.

Brad Staggs (:

Sure.

Wes Castelhano (:

sure there's an R after the T.

Two R's it is.

Brad Staggs (:

So I think that there are three Rs.

Wes Castelhano (:

I see what's going on. But if we count them together, there's one R after the T and one right before the Y. So that does add up to just two R's in strawberry. Okay. One of them is just feeling extra noticeable.

Brad Staggs (:

Yeah, so you're actually spelling it. It's getting transcribed with two R's before the Y.

Wes Castelhano (:

It's.

Wes Castelhano (:

I see the mix up now. Thanks for pointing that out. Yeah, it's definitely just the two R's and the word itself, but no worries. Glad we got that cleared up.

Brad Staggs (:

Okay, no, it's three Rs. She's a dumbass. It's three Rs because it's one after the T and then in the word Barry, you know that word Barry, there's two Rs in Barry.

Keith Malinak (:

get what you're saying now. You're counting the berry part as if it had two Rs on its own.

Brad Staggs (:

had two Rs. It has two Rs.

Wes Castelhano (:

I see where the confusion is coming from. I promise I'm not trying to be stubborn here. In the standard spelling of strawberry, there's just one R in straw and one R in berries.

Brad Staggs (:

No, there's no there aren't how many Rs are there in straw?

Wes Castelhano (:

In straw, there's just one R.

Brad Staggs (:

Okay, now in the word bearing, how many Rs are there?

Wes Castelhano (:

In berry, there's also just one R. It's right there before the rye. So combined, strawberry is just that one R in straw and one in berry. I know it can be a bit frustrating when we're just seeing it differently, but you haven't done anything wrong.

Brad Staggs (:

No, you have done something wrong. The word strawberry, want you to say every time you say an R I want you to count. So spell it like this. St R 1, a W B, E R 2, R 3. I'm confused. Wow.

Keith Malinak (:

You

Wes Castelhano (:

it.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, he's so I So if we spell it out just like that S t r that's one a W b e r that's two r that's eight. So yeah, you're right Just like you asked me to count at that a it does show up as three. Thanks for walking

Brad Staggs (:

So how many Rs are there in strawberry?

Wes Castelhano (:

So counting it.

Brad Staggs (:

No, no, no, no, no, not the way that I asked. strawberry, how many hours are there? He being mean to her.

Keith Malinak (:

and strawberry

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, so here's here's my my theory

Brad Staggs (:

mean, he's just mean and he doesn't like women.

Wes Castelhano (:

And so the way I get all the stuff done for descriptions is obviously I use like chat GBT to help. What? I know, right? And the two hour turnaround time. But so what I do have in the settings, I have custom instructions. OK. So what I have in every single one, so it doesn't matter what the prompt is, I have it assume this role. is in. Feel free, people, if you want to copy this. But this is so it can self check. So I say adopt the role of a meta cognitive reasoning expert.

For every complex problem decomposed, like breaking into sub problems, I want you to verify, check logic facts and completeness, synthesize, combine using weighted confidence, reflect if the confidence is above 0.8, identify weaknesses and retry. I'm having it checked.

Keith Malinak (:

What?

Brad Staggs (:

What are you-

Keith Malinak (:

Can it spell strawberry? That's all we want to know.

Wes Castelhano (:

know, but what I'm saying is what I'm getting at is he could have easily gone in there and say, assume the role of, of an idiot or whatever.

Keith Malinak (:

I think it assumed the role of an idiot.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yes, I do too there are flaws but if I'm telling you when I have it check itself So I have a little more degrees confidence. Okay

Brad Staggs (:

check itself for what?

Wes Castelhano (:

So when I, what I'm basically saying is when I ask a question, I want you to research and check through. I want it to reason and show me its reasoning. And if it gets to a certain score, if it's not right, go back, figure out why, and then give me a better.

Brad Staggs (:

I wish I cared that much about anything.

Keith Malinak (:

You care about this right here? this. But then she realizes that she sent the pictures to the wrong number and now she's panicking. She's worried that she's going to receive a weird reply from a random person and the reply she got was very unusual. This random guy wrote back to her and in his message he said, my wife isn't home. And this reply led to a shocking chain of events.

Sydney Usulton was a senior at Oakland High School in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She's getting ready for her school's formal. She's doing some dress shopping. takes two photos of this dress, sends it to her friend, quickly realizes that she sent it to the wrong number, and then her heart drops. She gets this reply from this random guy, then she takes a screenshot of that reply, sends that to her friend.

Her friend posted the photo on social media hoping to track this guy down and they do end up tracking. They find out that the guy's name is Tony Wood and he is also a Tennessee resident. Here was his reply in its entirety. I believe this message was meant for someone else. My wife isn't home so I couldn't get her opinion, but I did get my kid's opinion and they think you look stunning. They said you should definitely go with this one. And then he sent a picture of his five children.

giving Sydney the thumbs up. This heartfelt reply went viral. We can get to Tony a little bit more and they found something very, Oh no, it says, but the photo that is in it. Come to find out his six year old Kisler was in the hospital battle in cancer. So the internet ended up tracking down their go fund me page and they ended up raising over $65,000 for Tony and his family.

Wes Castelhano (:

What? What happened to-

Wes Castelhano (:

over

Keith Malinak (:

to help Keisler with his fight with leukemia. Now looking back, was this a coincidence? Was this an accident? I don't believe in coincidences.

Brad Staggs (:

Let's say a a a text to you. I don't go looking up your phone. I was I just look up Keith and it maybe I've got two Keith's in it's a shit. I that Keith.

Keith Malinak (:

I've done that before, but never some random.

Brad Staggs (:

No.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, that's it.

Yeah, like Keith, I talk to you every day. still, know that you have an eight, four, three number and that's cause I have one too. That's the only thing like that's weird. So like actually, yeah, I'm with, I'm with you guys on that one.

Keith Malinak (:

What's going on? What are you drinking?

Wes Castelhano (:

Who am I drinking?

Keith Malinak (:

funny.

Brad Staggs (:

Yeah, honey. What did ask me? What did ask me, honey?

Keith Malinak (:

Where do you get your honey?

Wes Castelhano (:

from the holly bird.

Brad Staggs (:

You ever kissed a hummingbird? Lizzy B. Oh, look at that little bear. can't see it because it's all fuzzy. But just hitting some honey from the honey bear.

Ever since, ever since the losses.

Wes Castelhano (:

North Park you got Dillard's and you got Neiman Marcus you got all those right there

Brad Staggs (:

And Mandalorian Patriots gonna be a werewolf again. See, that's the problem is that, know what, what we call something beautiful is another person's, Horror is another person's horror because every time there's a blood moon, Mandalorian Patriot turns into a werewolf. So do you think he's looking forward to Monday? No, you just caused him a lot of ang.

Keith Malinak (:

I'm sorry?

Keith Malinak (:

No, but no, it's Tuesday though. I stand corrected, right?

Brad Staggs (:

Wes Castelhano (:

Fine, he'll grab his taco Tuesday. He'll be fine, man. Just grab a taco. You're good.

Brad Staggs (:

Werewolves eat tacos.

Keith Malinak (:

So Mandalorian Patriot, if it's on a Tuesday, does that make it better or worse or is it just the same deal?

Brad Staggs (:

Why do I need alone time? Crofix says I need alone time.

Wes Castelhano (:

How much long time do you need?

Brad Staggs (:

I don't know. this an offer? don't.

Keith Malinak (:

Hey, did you know this? You know, I really enjoy the X page, the those facts, right? At fact, I've talked about that on this show. It just does facts. there, tweet is a fact. And, and I meant to read this one yesterday or Wednesday, Brad, and I showed you the receipt about Uranus being your server. Remember that one? Well, here's a fact about Uranus. It apparently smells like rotten eggs. I never knew that.

Brad Staggs (:

Yeah.

Wes Castelhano (:

All right.

Keith Malinak (:

I don't know how they've determined.

Wes Castelhano (:

it. Yeah, how do you find that out? I don't know. Not you personally, but

Keith Malinak (:

I don't know. don't know. it? I don't know. I don't know.

Brad Staggs (:

I guess you just have to like find some way to hang around your anus.

Keith Malinak (:

I don't know how they determine that at all.

Brad Staggs (:

hover over your anus and.

Keith Malinak (:

I don't know.

Wes Castelhano (:

Hey, the studio is right by Steiner Springs. I'm sure we can find plenty of guys that would do that.

Keith Malinak (:

God, man. So,

Wes Castelhano (:

I didn't see GD. I didn't see GD.

Keith Malinak (:

All right. Let me see here. OK, 1963. I didn't know this. I've never heard of Mr. Zip. I feel out of touch. Is anyone else familiar with Mr. Zip? Teaching us zip codes back then. And I know that this is what all of these numbers meant. I just never really thought about it. And shame on me. But here's the lesson of our zip code.

Wes Castelhano (:

the liability

Brad Staggs (:

This is Mr.

Brad Staggs (:

zip. He revolutionized the mail delivery system of the United States with his zip code. The heart of the system is a number, a zip code number. Okay. Let's break this one down and see how it works. Each of these five numbers plays an important role. The country is divided into 10 sections. The first number represents

Keith Malinak (:

Now look Look at that,

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah.

Brad Staggs (:

That's one of these sections. In this case, the 6 stands for a part of the Midwest. Two numbers narrow it down. For instance, the 06 in Point Chicago.

Wes Castelhano (:

Okay.

Keith Malinak (:

Really?

Wes Castelhano (:

Brad Staggs (01:09:23.406)

Last two numbers, they indicate the final stop for delivery, a local post office. And here it is.

Wes Castelhano (:

is why

Brad Staggs (:

Elmwood Park branch. Yeah. Oh, that's 30.

Wes Castelhano (:

That's insane. The last two are like the most specific. Okay.

Brad Staggs (:

... with the zip code numbers you need and use them here and here for the fastest possible mail delivery. Remember, only you can put zip in your postal system. That's a lot of pressure. Now I'm supposed to stop forest fires and use the zip code?

Wes Castelhano (:

But what about when it's like seven, you know, seven, five, two, three, five dash one four.

Keith Malinak (:

So that's more specific. And I need to find a tutorial that explains those, hyphen and the four digits, you see?

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah. So I found a random fun fact about just locations and geography on why they call Indiana the Hoosier state.

Brad Staggs (:

more post-op.

Keith Malinak (:

Well, there's about eight different theories on that. What's the one you've got?

Wes Castelhano (:

The one I've I've from what I understand is from when we started migrating West. is Indiana. It was a big thing for the German. I think it was the German or whatever the dialect. When people would come visit. You were proud of your state. So you would say it sounds like saying, you know, where are from? You would say, who's your state? And that's for the traveler to identify it. So.

that through the dialect and just kind of shortening just like anything else and linguistic, it just became Hoosier.

Keith Malinak (:

So and that's Indiana. So check this out. I'm reading about the zip code thing. The four digits there are the specific route for that post office.

Wes Castelhano (:

I love this.

Brad Staggs (:

And yet I hold two letters that were sent one in july one that was sent in september by a beth enot to the when the march of dimes where she is a by the way give to the march of dimes help little babies But she when they were having to have their mail forwarded because they were closing down the office and they got a post office box They she wanted to make sure it was working

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, I like that

Brad Staggs (:

So in July she sent a letter to basically herself at the old address on Lyndon B Johnson the address there in Dallas and Let's see. When was this so Richard? three days ago this finally arrived back to her saying sorry returned to sender Unclaimed unable to forward even though she had filled out a forwarding change of address Then she sent one in September which just got here two days ago

say hey notify the sender of your new address which they obviously had because they forwarded it to when she did this was back in june So hey those those six plus four numbers don't do shit apparently, to help them find anything anywhere, but

Keith Malinak (:

That's disappointing. Because I have faith in my government to be able to perform easy, you know, general duties like deliver the mail.

Brad Staggs (:

It's a

Brad Staggs (:

They're not government.

Wes Castelhano (:

the problem.

Brad Staggs (:

But they're quasi not. are, but they're not.

Keith Malinak (:

I've got a couple pieces of mail here. One address to me and one address to you, Brad.

Brad Staggs (:

I hope mine has a million dollars in it. Well, So that's a crime.

Keith Malinak (:

So.

LIT

Wes Castelhano (:

Technically it is, you just committed a federal fraud.

Keith Malinak (:

I haven't opened it yet.

Brad Staggs (:

I given you permission either, so if there's a million dollars in there, I was gonna give you half, but now I'm reconsidering because you're a felon.

Keith Malinak (:

I haven't opened it yet, said. I can't.

Wes Castelhano (:

That's it.

Brad Staggs (:

Utri police.

Keith Malinak (:

Okay, so Lynn Kuslowski, she sent this and it says, she's excited that we added Wednesdays. Well, if we only we can hear the audio on Wednesdays, but at the mic. And so one thing that Lynn, hope realizes that at three o'clock Eastern on Wednesdays, Brad does his, what's the proper way to say the title of the show there, And it's thedailymojo.com, right? And it's what the what?

Wes Castelhano (:

Matt, you cover Brad on that one.

Brad Staggs (:

What the Wednesdays.

Keith Malinak (:

You have to say it like that. Can I say what the f***? Wednesdays?

Wes Castelhano (:

Time signature down, so I'll bleep

Keith Malinak (:

no, you're saying that in real time.

Brad Staggs (:

I can't even say it. It's there's something. It's the new technology here.

Keith Malinak (:

look at that. She's asking.

Wes Castelhano (:

You want me to put like a I'm gonna write the time down you just say the word and then I'll go boop

Brad Staggs (:

It's weird. I it's the chip. It's the no it's no cussing chip that I've had

Keith Malinak (:

It's it's messing you. It's it's taking it's editing on the fly. So anyway, Lynn asks about Tanner who smells and is over here and it's just a very sweet little Valentine's Day card, which by the way, whoever sent Tanner a Valentine's Day card. I am so sorry. I have I have misplaced that you want to talk about a federal offense, Brad. I have misplaced my dog's mail. And if it's something that I find years down the road, I'm probably going to I'm definitely going to cry when I

Anyway, so look at that. Oh, look at that says I wolf you and it's like, see that little. Right. OK, so now here's Brad's now. So, Brad, it says to Brad, you devil you mean so funny on at the mic. And then she says, I like. She likes that you read the at the mic tweets and she means the comments. You do a much better job of.

Wes Castelhano (:

You gotta love puns.

Brad Staggs (:

That was for me.

Keith Malinak (:

of

Wes Castelhano (:

I'm going back and

Keith Malinak (:

So did you want me to open up your mail or do you want me to save it for when I see you?

Brad Staggs (:

Now go ahead and open it.

Keith Malinak (:

Cause it might, let's see now, are you going to feel disrespected if it, if it's the same as I woof you for me? if you

Brad Staggs (:

feel a little bit like a cheap media whore, yeah. I already do, technically.

Keith Malinak (:

find out here. me just open up. Y'all see he gave me permission. it's kitty cats. And what it says, it says forever friends. that huh?

Brad Staggs (:

Like, you're like on a cat!

Keith Malinak (:

That's a... I'll give it to you. You know, I'm going to see you on Monday, Brad. Are you excited?

Wes Castelhano (:

I'm still recording.

Brad Staggs (:

I am, I'm shaving.

Keith Malinak (:

It's not necessary. I've told you.

Brad Staggs (:

Enjoy the stubble.

Keith Malinak (:

okay. So, what else do I have here for you? I want this gun so badly. let me see here if I can find it. Gun.

Brad Staggs (:

Gum or gun?

Wes Castelhano (:

Okay. Is it like John Wick style or like what are we talking here? Yeah, let's see.

Keith Malinak (:

So it is a it is a gun that is shaped like a cell phone.

Wes Castelhano (:

Aww. yeah.

Keith Malinak (:

But why would I talk about it before I found the

Brad Staggs (:

Wait a minute. That's going to cause all kinds of problems because then when they, he had a cell phone in his hand.

Keith Malinak (:

No, now this one, this isn't gonna work. I mean, it's a revolver. That's not gonna be flat like this. This one over here, I think it only holds one bullet, but see it unfolds like this.

Wes Castelhano (:

OK, that's like those like those like little love.

Keith Malinak (:

Looks like a good way to get shot, Brad. So true. Let me tell you where you need to actually have. You have to have these guns on a New York subway. Carry these ladies and then let them, and they will, but let them take you to court and prison later. And they will, but this could save your life on a New York subway. just saying. No, I mean, I'm sorry. Don't break the law.

Wes Castelhano (:

I like little pea shooters.

Brad Staggs (:

I shot the P.

Wes Castelhano (:

I'm like dust. Hold on

Brad Staggs (:

that.

Keith Malinak (:

What happened? What? am I missing?

Wes Castelhano (:

No, it won't.

Keith Malinak (:

No, at, wait, hold on, I can't see. OK, here we go. I knew you were retrieving something back there.

Brad Staggs (:

Just get the

Keith Malinak (:

Here we go. Wait for it.

Brad Staggs (:

I don't

Keith Malinak (:

please don't die in there not on camera. Well, actually, yeah So if you're gonna die die on camera

Wes Castelhano (:

I will come to your death trap studio and if you want to tase me I'll take I'll take one for the team

Brad Staggs (:

Tastes me in the butthole.

Adam, what's his name?

Wes Castelhano (:

stop tasing me bro, that guy.

Brad Staggs (:

No, no, it was it's lonely island. It was and it was Ryan Reynolds tased him in the butthole.

Wes Castelhano (:

yeah.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, yeah.

Brad Staggs (:

I didn't do it. That's just, it's a sound. It would hurt, doesn't it?

Wes Castelhano (:

So I do have a tasing story if you guys want to it's

Brad Staggs (:

Is happy with the

Keith Malinak (:

I'm a little concerned.

Wes Castelhano (:

It actually wasn't so, so this was in Charleston and I don't know if you guys are for time photographers with the guys. Stoppers was the company and they were doing a photo shoot where they had a video camera and you would have, they were shooting it in slow motion. Then you had like your friend, like it was like 500. It wasn't like a massive bolt, but they wanted to see the reactions of people who were getting like taste like right in the side.

Keith Malinak (:

Thanks, Susan.

Wes Castelhano (:

And yeah, so they caught me. they're actually shooting the person, also shooting the person doing the like the little shock. And the amount of joy I got to shock my brother was.

Keith Malinak (:

Was that years of like pent up like

Wes Castelhano (:

yeah. Well, little brother syndrome. Yeah, he's always going to win. can't, I don't know why I can't beat him. He's only two years older than me, but yeah, they're not that bad. It's more, the sound is more horrifying.

Brad Staggs (:

Yeah, did you get taste? Yeah? What I feel like did you pay?

Wes Castelhano (:

I got Tim.

No, just kind of like jump you. you know, I just it wasn't too, too bad. I think I can find the video,

Keith Malinak (:

Well, I like how Jonathan's like a Keith Tazing story would be epic. I will say I've not I've not been tased, but I have told the story of, you know, the opening scene of Back to the Future where Michael J. Fox ends up across the room because he does the guitar pick and the ambush. That happened to me at Nana's house in the living room. I ended up, I don't know, a good five, six feet removed from where I started because I

Brad Staggs (:

That's right, yeah.

Keith Malinak (:

I tried to peel a suction cup off the back of her TV. The back was off of an old school vacuum tube or what have you TV. And I thought, look at that suction cup. And then I came to on the other side of the living room. That was fun. That was a good day. I'm a dumbass. It wasn't even plugged in. So that's why I thought it was OK. Hey, look at this.

Hold the charge.

Keith Malinak (:

See kids we used to have TV repairmen and

Wes Castelhano (:

KATHLEEN CUBETV,

Keith Malinak (:

and they had gone to lunch. so my dumb ass sophomore in high school saw the back of the TV off and thought, let's see what happens here. And the next thing I know, literally the next thing I know, I was on the other side of the living room looking into the kitchen and seeing Nana and their cooking. And she was oblivious that her grandson had literally just flown across the living room. All right, so Rosie the Riveter passed away 101 years old. Look at that. I didn't even know that was one person.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, I thought I mean, I didn't know if she was yeah, good for her. She made it to triple digits.

Keith Malinak (:

That's incredible.

That is so cool. love that. I that she died. Yes. So how do we know it's?

Brad Staggs (:

She doesn't look the same as in her picture.

Am I out of focus or is that just my eyes?

Keith Malinak (:

No, you're out of focus. Yeah. Okay. It's because what happened was there was a fire earlier. I don't know if you know this, right?

Brad Staggs (:

Has it been this way the whole time? Because I just know I never look so yeah.

Keith Malinak (:

It has been, but you know, I thought it maybe was a beauty filter.

Brad Staggs (:

I gotta get Betty.

Wes Castelhano (:

See you.

Keith Malinak (:

Okay, hold on. I love this part. See Betty comes here and then she sits there and all right, hey nice hat. Nah, we're just talking about you. Look at that, huh? Betty, Betty. It's a little, I don't know, she's been hitting the sauce, Betty.

Brad Staggs (:

I can hear you if you're talking.

Brad Staggs (:

See?

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, but it's OK. We all do it. Just, you know, just do some good skin care routine. Drink some water.

Brad Staggs (:

She does so much more than just get me to focus on her.

Keith Malinak (:

That's good stuff right there.

Brad Staggs (:

She works. She works hard for the moment.

Keith Malinak (:

You better treat it right.

Wes Castelhano (:

So

Brad Staggs (:

hard for them.

Keith Malinak (:

That's so hard for them.

Wes Castelhano (:

You were so hard for the money

Brad Staggs (:

She's the one who gave me the honey tip

Wes Castelhano (:

So Brad, what are your thoughts on the new Mayweather Pacquiao fight?

Brad Staggs (:

One of them is going to kick the shit out of the other one. I can tell you that. yeah.

Wes Castelhano (:

Well, it's, yeah.

Brad Staggs (:

I would say, cause there's some people that come down with Pacquiao side and there's others that come down with Mayweather side. And I'm like, you know, the person who puts the money on the, on the, on the good, the one who kicks the dog's snout out of the other one. If you got a thousand dollars in that, you are going to be.

Wes Castelhano (:

If pack right and pack you before mayweather became money mayweather Like his if you can hit him Then different story, but do mayweathers is too good, man

Brad Staggs (:

I've always said that. I've always said that.

Keith Malinak (:

Brad's a big...

Wes Castelhano (:

I don't...

Keith Malinak (:

Don't freak out, it just felt okay. Okay, this kid's a little too invested here. I mean, I understand she loves her mom, but mom's embarrassed. I don't know what's. I don't know what's funnier, the fall or the reaction.

Wes Castelhano (:

I would have died laughing

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, right.

Keith Malinak (:

Don't freak out, I just felt! Okay, okay. Jeez! I'm dead about my PAP!

Brad Staggs (:

Is that her daughter or her son?

Wes Castelhano (:

nowadays we don't even know.

Keith Malinak (:

Nowadays, we don't even ask. So we're moving along.

Brad Staggs (:

The rude graduate student question.

Wes Castelhano (:

everybody's buddy if you just say buddy you're just buddy yeah buddy dude dude I'm a big one so yeah I don't know

Keith Malinak (:

man.

Brad Staggs (:

What about dude?

Brad Staggs (:

Mom, are you OK? Kiss me.

Wes Castelhano (:

Just let me die.

Keith Malinak (:

Hey Brad, I can see you now.

Brad Staggs (:

I just thought I was hammered still.

Keith Malinak (:

need to be.

Wes Castelhano (:

dude, yeah, play catch up. This is, this is number three. It's been a week.

Keith Malinak (:

I say that every day. It's been a week. Let's see what else I have. Oh, look at this one.

Wes Castelhano (:

was like, when I talked to you on Wednesday, I don't think I've ever heard you so stressed.

Keith Malinak (:

was exhausted. Hey, check this out. This is a percentage of states that are covered. Look at Mississippi. Look at West Virginia. Look at Maine. 89 % of Maine is covered in forest. No, not cake. I mean, maybe. I don't know.

Brad Staggs (:

It's Maine.

Keith Malinak (:

Look at this, 79 % of West Virginia covered in four. Look at Nebraska, 3%. You know where it is? It's all right here in the upper left-hand corner.

Brad Staggs (:

And you see it as you're driving. Cause last time I drew, drove through Kansas on the way from Nashville to Denver, you see the one tree in Kansas for miles.

Keith Malinak (:

Look at us, man. Look at Texas 37. I'm proud of us. It's all over here though. It's all in the East.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, that's all East Texas.

Brad Staggs (:

It's still true that there are more trees now than there were in Thomas Jefferson's time

Keith Malinak (:

Yeah, there are, and there's trees, stars in the sky.

Wes Castelhano (:

But yes, I agree

Brad Staggs (:

Wait a second. Hold on a second. What'd you just say? There are more.

Keith Malinak (:

Go

trees on planet Earth than there are stars in the sky.

Brad Staggs (:

And we know that how.

Keith Malinak (:

I don't know Google it and see if I'm right. just want to know if I'm right. Yeah somebody do my job.

Wes Castelhano (:

I'm on it.

Brad Staggs (:

Because.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, this is what I would do. This is what I would do with the Keith one during

Keith Malinak (:

This is what we needed as what I've been talking about on this show we need a fact checker this is willing to look up the stuff the claims that I make and They come up on this show that we say with with confidence and authority We need somebody googling and and finding out the truth. Is this right?

Brad Staggs (:

There are grains of sand on the beach.

Keith Malinak (:

Team two, we have at the same time. What, Brad?

Brad Staggs (:

Go ahead, Wes.

Wes Castelhano (:

what am I talking about? look, beer.

Brad Staggs (:

There are more trees now than there are grains of sand on the beach.

Keith Malinak (:

But that's not what I said. said, I said, it's not the same.

Brad Staggs (:

Are there more stars in the sky than there is sand on the beach?

Keith Malinak (:

I said, I said there was

Brad Staggs (:

So wait a minute, what you're saying, there's more sand on the beach than there are stars in the sky.

Keith Malinak (:

I don't like math problems, bro, especially on the fly, like...

Brad Staggs (:

There are more trees in the United States now than there were in the early 1900s.

Keith Malinak (:

That's a fact.

Brad Staggs (:

According to the chat, are fewer than when Thomas Jefferson was alive. I don't if if there are that's because those damn Amazonians keep cutting it down.

Wes Castelhano (:

Actually.

Keith Malinak (:

Hold on, James counted for us. Look at that, look at that, I'm right, James already counted them. Thank you, James.

Wes Castelhano (:

So.

Wes Castelhano (:

So according to, got about five sources here. Yes. I said trees on earth, more than,

Brad Staggs (:

Tell us the prompt that you used again with the.

Wes Castelhano (:

So I just said how trees how many trees on the on planet earth are there more than in the sky So and it says yes by current estimates there are more trees on earth than the stars in the Milky Way So there's the little caveat

Keith Malinak (:

Okay, whatever. That's good.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, so but still that's I wouldn't have guessed that so a 2015 study led that there are three point zero four trillion trees worldwide

Keith Malinak (:

What do I win, some honey?

Brad Staggs (:

A shot of honey.

Keith Malinak (:

What are you? you? What are you? OK, do you sell honey at what is your store? What's the what's the. What's your what's your mojo?

Wes Castelhano (:

Brad Staggs (:

That's a total party foul. Anytime you do that, you think you're doing, think you're being cool when you do it, but to everybody behind the person that you're doing it with, you're.

Wes Castelhano (:

It's a dick move. then there was a whole thing. then that my favorite, my personal favorite is the stop and chat. In the episode, Larry just kind of just waves the guy off like, yeah, you're being a dick. He's like, I don't know well enough for a stop and chat. Like, what are we going to do? Like I've I've personally crossed the street to avoid stopping and chatting. Because

Keith Malinak (:

What, let me ask you, how do you power your little universe in a box there, Brad? He took his ears off. No.

Brad Staggs (:

Brad Staggs (:

No

$200. The $200 tax stamp on a machine gun. No, it's, but still it shouldn't be the government shouldn't be able to tax you on a, just cause it's a gun that shoots fast.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, so, but I always thought speaking of guns the texas, you know like silencers or suppressed fires or But not in texas

But yeah, Texas has that nice little legal loophole. Yeah, I think it's like you have to buy if it's if it's in Texas and you it was made in Texas you can have a Or something like that. Yeah

Brad Staggs (:

Remember remember the bump stock dude that they put him out of business and that was I blamed Well, I know I blame Trump for that because he did it After Vegas made bump stocks the only which they're not illegal anymore But that was after the dude in Texas who did he invent them? He just make

Wes Castelhano (:

I'm not sure.

Brad Staggs (:

It's the Vegas shooting and the dude in the bay First of all wasn't the dude in the room who was doing the shooting and second a bump stock anyway

Keith Malinak (:

Look at this map. Look at this map. This is a map of US counties colored by the percentage of excess drinking. Red is the more.

Wes Castelhano (:

Wes Castelhano (:

My favorite part is the bag is like hi, yeah

Keith Malinak (:

Brad Staggs (01:34:55.192)

But again, is that real?

Keith Malinak (:

Gosh, not everything is A.

Brad Staggs (:

Not everything has to be real as I thought what you're going to say.

Keith Malinak (:

Everything has to be real to entertain us.

Wes Castelhano (:

If something looks a little too perfect, it's probably AI, the human stupidity, like, hey, I'm going to go fight this fence.

Keith Malinak (:

This is real. This is real. Now this team is trailing by 15 points in the second half and he's got a breakaway opportunity here.

Wes Castelhano (:

and his pace on the run out and he misses the dunk.

Keith Malinak (:

he hurt himself, didn't he?

He is so embarrassed. He's faking an injury and everybody in the arena knows it.

Keith Malinak (:

And the sun!

Wes Castelhano (:

I'm sorry.

Keith Malinak (:

That's funny.

Wes Castelhano (:

Wow.

Brad Staggs (:

Who hasn't done that? Who hasn't done that? You're walking somewhere, you trip on something. First thing you do is like, you look back and it's like, what the hell was that? That jumped.

Wes Castelhano (:

Dude.

Keith Malinak (:

Yeah, what what?

Wes Castelhano (:

I didn't realize that the basketball inside the hoop itself is can fit two basketballs. I didn't realize that. So the inside of the rim is the size you can put two basketballs inside.

Brad Staggs (:

What's that again?

Keith Malinak (:

think it might be the same, what? The same time. If you took idea here and here and so on. Yeah, I didn't know.

Brad Staggs (:

would area like area but yeah.

Wes Castelhano (:

Right, I'm saying, that's, I didn't know that.

Brad Staggs (:

Does that make it so the official size is X square inches, which if you look down on a flat image of a basketball.

Wes Castelhano (:

It has plenty of room to go in. yeah, that's except unless you're Steph Curry and it just goes in.

Brad Staggs (:

except it never does.

Brad Staggs (:

Unless you're like 12 feet tall like most of these dudes are and you can reach up and just

Wes Castelhano (:

Did you watch, have you watched that documentary, the, what was it like Golden Court about, yeah, so Kevin Durant, cause team France is always, you're talking about how they have the camaraderie and blah, blah. And Kevin Durant Hey, yeah, all that camaraderie is great until you got to Steph Curry.

Brad Staggs (:

Watch, I'm watching it right now.

Brad Staggs (:

Thanks. Thank you.

Brad Staggs (:

Hey Keith, are you kidding me?

Wes Castelhano (:

Hold on. Did you see it? Is that on tape?

Keith Malinak (:

I'm you. Brad, not everything has to be real. But that one is. What, Brad?

Brad Staggs (:

Does that? Yeah.

Keith Malinak (:

What are you gonna say? No, dear God, what are you gonna say, man?

Brad Staggs (:

Not everything has to be real. Why does everything have to be real? Why can't we just have some good old fashioned fakery? What's wrong with faker? What is wrong with fake? We're okay with fake boobs. Why aren't we okay with fake shots?

Keith Malinak (:

Yeah.

Did I play this on this show yet?

Brad Staggs (:

Okay

Keith Malinak (:

The mama duck felt really bad. And she laid eggs in the school and then every year now, every year she gives birth because she's obviously out there getting knocked up in Duckville and it's a gathering when the ducks hatch.

Brad Staggs (:

That's not a daddy duck.

Brad Staggs (:

documentary, isn't it? Knocked up in Duckville.

Keith Malinak (:

So what happens is when the ducks hatch, the little ducklings every year, the kids line up and they watch her try to find her way out of this joint.

Keith Malinak (:

Alright, dumbass, you've done this before. Come on, stop. You know where to go. He's not even trying!

Wes Castelhano (:

I love ducks.

Keith Malinak (:

Thank you. Co-dependent babies right there.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, kind of like being like Rebecca's kid. Yeah, like, hey, mom.

Keith Malinak (:

Brad Staggs (:

Wes Castelhano (:

because that is is violently adorable though.

Keith Malinak (:

you

Brad Staggs (:

Keep

Keith Malinak (:

Not everything has to be re-

Brad Staggs (:

Just for you, Keith. Right now.

Keith Malinak (:

Everything has to be real. Look at that. And there's a pond. You can see the pond right there. See that? There it is. That's where she's going with her little baby.

Wes Castelhano (:

that makes the thing is like, yeah, I got a screen for you too. For after that for Brad.

Brad Staggs (:

You'll want my screen

Brad Staggs (:

What? What do you do? You want to know what?

Keith Malinak (:

Do I want

Wes Castelhano (:

What are you doing, you freak?

Keith Malinak (:

Do I want to know who the father is?

Brad Staggs (:

Look at how questioning she is on her. They have her eyes. If you look, so how does that even work?

Wes Castelhano (:

Why so they're wearing diapers. Okay, because that's kind of like the debate. I thought they were wearing pants. I'm like, aren't their legs covered but they're

Brad Staggs (:

technically they are pant no no it's not a sorry I felt buckle but it's not it's

Keith Malinak (:

I just tried to explain to us the nuances of communicating with AI earlier. I have to know, show your work, please, Brad Staggs, tell us what you typed into Grok to get.

Brad Staggs (:

it was fairly complicated. I mean, not West complicated, but

Keith Malinak (:

widget. What'd you type? poster for knocked up and Doug will feature

Brad Staggs (:

I didn't put the surprise. did not tie. I, my words end at knocked up in Duckville.

Wes Castelhano (:

So you guys start using Nano Banana Pro is pretty awesome too.

Brad Staggs (:

Why this works?

Wes Castelhano (:

I mean.

Keith Malinak (:

Wait a minute, Wisconsin Jackal doesn't even think the stocks were real.

Brad Staggs (:

What? it's absolutely real. I've seen it four or five times.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, depends on what part of the country you're in.

Brad Staggs (:

You know, it was constant Jackal just because you don't have the documentaries that we do down here does not mean they're not real

Wes Castelhano (:

You know, just really well.

Keith Malinak (:

Rastags has spoken, okay?

Keith Malinak (:

I'm afraid to put anything from you in-

Keith Malinak (:

Nice.

Keith Malinak (:

Yeah, yeah, that chemistry going to help you have to guard stuff. Yeah, I hear you. That's good. What's that on?

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, it's on the what is it called quarter gold or something like that?

Keith Malinak (:

Brad watches all those.

Brad Staggs (:

I'm watching it right now. don't know why you're making fun, but I've got it on the monitor. You cannot see right now. I've got the knocked up in duckville. I've got that documentary and I'm also watching the CBS Evening News.

Wes Castelhano (:

No, I'm not a sports guy, but I love sports stocks, man. I can watch those.

Brad Staggs (:

sports ducks too and I think there should be more sports

Keith Malinak (:

Gese.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah. would. D2, Mighty Duck. mean, come on.

Keith Malinak (:

OK, so I guess, Brad, the question really is, which are you a bigger fan of, the Anaheim Mighty Ducks or the Oregon Ducks?

Brad Staggs (:

That's, that's a tough one because I think the, the Oregon, the Oregon team is, mean, they're higher longitudinally. or is that loud? No, I'd be latitudinally. Wouldn't it? Longitudinally. Those are the lines that go this way.

Keith Malinak (:

This is long. This is last.

Brad Staggs (:

Which is weird. You get bigger than I'd realize lateral because you throw a lateral that way. That's it

Keith Malinak (:

It's like it's like doing the sign of cross

Brad Staggs (:

Right. Those testicles wallowed in watch. I'm sorry. Testicles wallowed in watch. Same thing.

Keith Malinak (:

Wes Castelhano (01:43:10.414)

Spectacles.

So that's when you leave the house. That was kind of like the thing.

Wes Castelhano (:

doing that.

Keith Malinak (:

Can I? Let me just I want to relay a story I was telling Jeff Fisher, who you do a show with on Saturday morning at 10am Eastern.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, I just edited some chewing the fat fat fat fat

Keith Malinak (:

So, so this guy, Jeffy, if you go to at real Brad stags, you see that handle right there on X. If you go there at 10am Eastern on Saturday mornings, you will see Jeffy and Brad hanging out. Brad's the hardest working man and show business. I mean, he does like three shows a day, seven days away.

What was that? I don't understand. Where's that? What is that?

Wes Castelhano (:

I mean, I wish I had my voice that cool, but no, I didn't.

Why are you?

Keith Malinak (:

So I don't know if the story that I told Jeffy is going to tell the same way on the Friday live stream, but I can try if you'd like to know why Keith Malinak missed out on the 3.0 GPA at the University of Nebraska. It's a very simple story.

Brad Staggs (:

You

Keith Malinak (:

got knocked up and then I had to... And so that diploma was left on the table, but damn it, I have a cute kid to show for it.

Brad Staggs (:

Check it.

Wes Castelhano (:

Now you're paying for their diploma,

Keith Malinak (:

So what happened was I did this incredible polysci report, but I was supposed to turn in these three by five note cards that went with my report. And the bitch teacher said, since I didn't turn them in, because I left them on my kitchen table back at the apartment. And she said, well, I said, can go get them. I'll be back in 30 minutes. And she's like, nope, you didn't turn them in with your report. So you ended up getting like a, I don't know, B plus or something. Whatever.

And that cost me my 3.0 GPA when you go and look, because it would have affected my grade. would have been blah, blah, blah. But as I was telling Jeffy, said, what put me in that position was the fact that kids, read the book. Don't read the Cliffhills version. Because all the jocks were taking a class called Greek mythology. And that's an easy A, man. Easy A. But yours truly, it is.

Wes Castelhano (:

That's a tough one, man.

Keith Malinak (:

I didn't take too kindly to having to read the stories of Greek mythology, so I read the Cliff Notes and when I took the test I have never been more clueless in my life. And so I go, Jeffy, what do you think I got on the old, in the class for Greek mythology only reading the Cliff Notes version the entire semester? What do think that was?

Wes Castelhano (:

well. Yeah, I

Keith Malinak (:

I ended up with a D. That's why I didn't get a 3.0. That's why I got a 2.9999. It wasn't because of the damn-

Wes Castelhano (:

roundup at all.

Keith Malinak (:

It wasn't because of the note cards I left on the kitchen table in my apartment for my polysci class it's because I refuse to read these damn stories about the Oedipus Rex in it.

Brad Staggs (:

That's the fun. That's the ironic part about it is you miss questions on shit. made up.

Wes Castelhano (:

Bye!

Keith Malinak (:

I bet you're

Brad Staggs (:

That's the definition of a myth, right?

Keith Malinak (:

Kids don't go to college kids, please.

Wes Castelhano (:

I don't

Brad Staggs (:

Every time I hear myth, think of Kermit the Frog.

Brad Staggs (:

I'm sorry. I thought I heard you say you turned out awesome and you did. That was, you know what? That was a slow pitch across home plate and I'm not gonna, I am not swinging at it. Although I could have put it over the fence.

Wes Castelhano (:

No, no.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, no, that was from the Orange County with. Look at me. Why do you want to go to college? Look at me. I'm awesome. And.

Brad Staggs (:

And the dude that was in the mighty ducks. Remember him? The, what was the dude's name? Cause they found him like a homeless on the street doing heroin. Yeah. He didn't die. Did he?

Keith Malinak (:

I don't know.

Wes Castelhano (:

Oh, his career is dead. Am I right?

Keith Malinak (:

the now i can't take the videos with the cut-ins i can't take the videos with the cut-ins just so we can see how they react

Wes Castelhano (:

You like America? can't tell by the outfit.

Brad Staggs (:

you

Keith Malinak (:

Like what is that? Why do we have to have the here's how I reacted to

Wes Castelhano (:

You know.

Brad Staggs (:

Do it.

Wes Castelhano (:

I like, yeah, like you had to see my reaction. I loved it so much. But now I got to you have to see

Brad Staggs (:

Hang on a second. Go back to the, what the, that shot, because did you, did you read what it said on the

Keith Malinak (:

No? Is it the mom?

Brad Staggs (:

It's worth reading what it said on the thing because it's like, hope they weren't homeschooled.

Just saying what it said on the on

Keith Malinak (:

Close the tab, dammit! What? What did it say?

Brad Staggs (:

Hey, you'll never know, it's gonna be a mystery, but everybody else saw it.

Keith Malinak (:

Hold on. You know what I'm doing right now? You know what I'm doing right now?

Brad Staggs (:

Are you gonna go to the little thing that says reopen closed tab? No.

Keith Malinak (:

no, I'm looking at the computer behind me. says, we hidden microphone in our daughter's suit this afternoon. You guys, I'm literally. we cracked.

Brad Staggs (:

We hidden.

Yeah, that's either. So that's either a legit dumb person writing that or it's like, it's, or it's like someone in India, one of those content farms in India who don't quite grasp or in Somalia who almost grasped English.

Keith Malinak (:

I guess they have fun in communist countries. I this is China. But look at this stuff. Look at this. This is how you keep the masses subdued. You're like, hey, you want to be a part of a world record? Look at this. Now, this looks like a lot of fun. Some of my biggest memories are...

Brad Staggs (:

I thought you were going say being in a train.

Wes Castelhano (:

No! Well that is very tired. Sorry, sorry.

Brad Staggs (:

They sound like they're having fun.

Keith Malinak (:

this. is awesome.

Wes Castelhano (:

I mean, I just watched Cool Runnings, it came on Hulu.

Brad Staggs (:

until you come to a sudden stop and the person in front of you is up your ass.

Keith Malinak (:

right? I mean you have to pay extra for that. Tell me this isn't fun.

Brad Staggs (:

Wes Castelhano (01:49:34.414)

It's kind of an epic yeah for for tubing. That's pretty good.

Brad Staggs (:

considering how if you don't have a good time, they'll just kill you.

Wes Castelhano (:

I'll be extra 15.

Keith Malinak (:

love the cardboard they have to put along the way where it's like not slick enough. they broke up! no! Get back together!

Wes Castelhano (:

All I'm thinking about is just population control, because of a guy's friend. You go pretty thorough pretty quick.

Keith Malinak (:

now we're

Brad Staggs (:

This ends in a horrible death and just begging the government

Keith Malinak (:

I can't take the screaming.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah, yeah, if you think of a Chinese restaurant as loud, imagine that slide.

Keith Malinak (:

Look at this.

Wes Castelhano (:

I mean, but it does like if I if it was just me on that I would have I would have a fucking blast

Keith Malinak (:

this

Wes Castelhano (:

Hey, we behaved for the past 10 years. We're going to make you a little lube. You know, just good job. A plus one.

Brad Staggs (:

It was Brandon Morris who informed us the other day of was it Kim Jong-un who died in Which one of them died recently in the past 10 years is own Anyway, so you had to if you watch the funeral you see the masses of people out there bawling their heads off and crying because He says, you know if you didn't show enough Mourning skills bait they just kill you

Keith Malinak (:

I can't keep.

Brad Staggs (:

Cause you have to show that you were just all bereft and tore up inside because of his death. Cause otherwise, yeah, you're just dead.

Wes Castelhano (:

Have you heard about Kim Jong-il's famous golf score? Have you heard about that? No, no, no, seriously he yeah, he shot an unprecedented 38 under par

Brad Staggs (:

feel a punch line coming on.

Brad Staggs (:

He's an amazing man. I don't know why more people don't see that.

Wes Castelhano (:

He had five, included five to 11 holes in one on his first try.

Brad Staggs (:

Yeah Yeah, he bet he's been to the moon too. I think and he also holds the world dragster World record, I think for the fastest mile he did it in uh, 5.15 seconds. Yeah

Keith Malinak (:

Yeah, first of all, it's impressive that he's that fast. Very. Second of all, it's impressive that he's that good at golf. But you're not going to get me to believe he went to the moon because no potties.

Brad Staggs (:

Yeah.

Wes Castelhano (:

all at once,

Brad Staggs (:

into this kind of a stretch kind of a stretch but if anybody could do it he could do it

Keith Malinak (:

I believe the whole.

Wes Castelhano (:

Like, don't you think it's funny when you see like their generals and they have all these medals on them like what what

Keith Malinak (:

You know, I've got military bodies who have seen recent generals and looked at their medals and pointed out how, as multiple guys pointed out, how bullshit some of these medals talk.

Brad Staggs (:

Whoa, hang on now. Don't you be casting aspersions on the North Korean army.

Because you could end up getting something you don't want to see. had a buddy who, something like that. Yeah. He was a rugby guy. you know, West mentioned South Carolina and his buddy of mine in South Carolina on the old, softball team. And, apparently when it's a rug, nevermind. You know what?

Brad Staggs (:

And I'm, you know, one day, damn it. do I show?

Keith Malinak (:

While you're looking for that I'm gonna read a story so I you've got plenty of time because this is very important to read this good idea is this is if I This could have easily been me. It's a very sad story. Happy Friday y'all the lawyer who jumped Through the window the 1993 case of a Toronto lawyer who fell to his death trying to prove a window is unbreakable

In July 93, Gary Hoy, a 38-year-old partner at the prominent Toronto law firm Holden Day Wilson, was giving a tour of the firm's offices on the 24th floor of the Toronto Dominion Center to a group of prospective art students. The TD Center was known for its modern design and exceptionally strong glass windows. Hoy had performed the same demonstration many times before to impress visitors. He would run and throw his full weight against the glass to show how unbreakable it was.

He had always bounced harmlessly off. This time he did it again. The glass held firm. The entire window frame popped out of the wall. He 24 stories to the courtyard below. He died instantly. The glass itself never broke. Most creators later confirmed the panes met all safety standards. The mounting system was never designed to withstand a running adult slamming into it. Hoy had been right about the glass. He had simply been testing the wrong thing. The incident became one of the most famous cautionary tales in Canadian

Wes Castelhano (:

OI

Keith Malinak (:

and safety circles, a brilliant lawyer, a simple demonstration, one second that changed everything, and a final lesson written in the most literal way possible. Sometimes the window holds, the frame does not.

Brad Staggs (:

And and something else at that that particular case gave us one of the things we can think that is where the phrase or where you would shout ahoy there because they would look down and they were like watch out there's a hoi there because it was on the ground

Brad Staggs (:

Pretty sure that's where that came from. That's why they yellow hoy. Where do you think it came from? No, you don't know.

Keith Malinak (:

think that's right. But I don't know. You're right. I confess, I don't know. So let me just say this.

Keith Malinak (:

The 24 stories down, like what is this guy thinking? Like, holy crap. Why? Do you have time to think? yeah. You don't have time. No, no, no. You don't have time to think, why did I do that? Aren't you spending 24 stories like trying to find something to grab hold of or is it just, no, you got.

Brad Staggs (:

Fuck.

Brad Staggs (:

Oh, 24 stories. got.

Brad Staggs (:

There was a video I saw of a Chinese cave. got the, well that's a good question and I'd like to know because this, has a foot, whatever it is.

Keith Malinak (:

Can you make it bigger? That's what she said.

Brad Staggs (:

And I could not for the life of me

Keith Malinak (:

gosh, I see the foot now.

Brad Staggs (:

Yeah, I don't know what it is. What is that?

It has an interesting foot to do. mean, as I was doing my little run this morning, I thought, well, that is an interesting foot. What the hell is that? It's doesn't really, it's not really a colored like, sorry. It's not, I'm just going to say colored. It's not colored like a raccoon, but, then it's not like a possum either. What is that?

Keith Malinak (:

Hang on, sorry.

Keith Malinak (:

Thanks for the beers. They're down chilling, Stephen. I appreciate it. Unfortunately, the refrigerator up here broke. And now they're down out of reach, and it would just take

Brad Staggs (:

A ship set you beer?

Keith Malinak (:

Well, it's a kind of beer. It's a game. What? OK, hold on. Let me hold on that right there, my friend. What you've got in your neighborhood is a. It's like a. It's like a little it's like a little baby fox.

Brad Staggs (:

It's like a chupacabra, isn't it?

Brad Staggs (:

Okay, I thought the same, it was colored like a fox.

Keith Malinak (:

Okay, you know what? We've been over.

Brad Staggs (:

I know. I just, I'm powering. I know. I'm darky like a Fox.

What the foxes are dark aren't they kind of but we've got some of them are some of them aren't they Okay, thank you it's darky like a fox, okay, it's But the feet I mean those like those are like people feet

Keith Malinak (:

That's much more appropriate.

Keith Malinak (:

Yeah, I don't like it.

Brad Staggs (:

I was a little freaked out by it. I'm like, what a racket.

Brad Staggs (:

I know it's not raccoon here and I mean those are people feet.

Brad Staggs (:

It's a recal

Brad Staggs (:

It's a raccoon.

Keith Malinak (:

Should I be concerned that while we've been talking here, I just I missed a call from my bank. What's that all about?

Brad Staggs (:

They were telling you that if you didn't answer, they couldn't deposit the half a million dollars that I was giving to you. but I opened your mouth. That was only a one-time thing.

Brad Staggs (:

What's usually not.

Brad Staggs (:

It's four o'clock on a friday. They don't care at this point They've already charged you by the way if they if if they want you to know that they're that you're overdrawn and it's going to cost you a fee They send you a letter in the mail so that by the time you get it. There's four other fees on top of it That's how banks generally work badger. I barely knew her

Keith Malinak (:

Or playing creepy cool again.

Brad Staggs (:

I think so. just, I, maybe it is a badger.

Keith Malinak (:

Maybe it's a, maybe it's a. I think you're right. I think I got, I got busy with.

Brad Staggs (:

It's a weird.

Brad Staggs (:

It's a facoon, isn't it?

It's a facoon.

Keith Malinak (:

Let me just, you keep talking. I'm going to just make sure that there's nothing good here.

Brad Staggs (:

Another there was a an influencer and this is going to change the way you probably look at Every hotel room you stay. I don't know what this all

Keith Malinak (:

my gosh, I saw this, I refuse to watch it. gonna make me- Sh- This skank, did- I refuse to watch-

Brad Staggs (:

Yeah.

She comes up with a genius idea and he can't

Keith Malinak (:

I don't like it at No, okay. So hold on. Explain to everybody what she does.

Brad Staggs (:

This is her response.

Brad Staggs (:

She's an influencer and she's a travel influencer. She gave a fabulous tip that if you are ever, know, if you've got, if you've run out of socks or little dainty underpants while you're on your trip and you're at the motel.

Brad Staggs (:

Thanks for

Brad Staggs (:

No, this is genius. You put them in the coffee maker and then you turn on the water that would they get Sanitized by all the hot water pouring over the garments that you know have your smeg on them and you get the smeg off your garments and through the coffee I thought it was genius the the hotel that she was saying he didn't think it was so genius and they've sued her and They also put out notes to I think they put it on their hotel. Whatever it is put it on their social media pages

Not only have they changed out all the coffee makers in the rooms, but they've also the people that stayed there that particular week. They refunded their money. I don't know what she says in this one. it says there's some, says wake up. Singapore is original audio. don't know. I've not played it. I'll hit play if you want me to, but it's Instagram, which means I have to hit play and then go run up there and hit unmute.

Keith Malinak (:

All

Keith Malinak (:

Let's just move on. She's gross. That makes me. It's it's a gross. It is, you know what?

Brad Staggs (:

Is that not a genius idea? No.

He didn't say it's gross, is it genius or not?

Keith Malinak (:

People are so self-centered. And I don't care. There is a fine line. No, there's not a fine line. There is a clear line between MacGyver and narcissists.

Brad Staggs (:

How dare you?

Brad Staggs (:

Tell me it's not a genius idea.

Keith Malinak (:

It's not a genius idea! It's a self-centered, gross idea.

Brad Staggs (:

that does not make it not a genius idea.

Keith Malinak (:

Look at this guy. Look at this guy. This guy broke into a store and the owner got tired of people breaking in. And so he built a fake room that turned into a cell. So this guy thought he was escaping. It looked like an exit.

Brad Staggs (:

ask you the question.

Keith Malinak (:

What?

Brad Staggs (:

Is this real?

Keith Malinak (:

Yeah, happened on September 30, 2015. a little deal.

Brad Staggs (:

Yeah, mean technically this could be kidnapping so it could be a felony on tape, but you know

Keith Malinak (:

What are you, like the public defender?

Brad Staggs (:

No, because then again, I like to wash my underpants in the coffee maker. would do what do I know if I wore any

Keith Malinak (:

that you

That's This guy's in here all night he gets to the point where like He doesn't care how he's getting out of there. He just wants out there out of there.

Brad Staggs (:

Damn right. You ever punched anything hard like that?

Brad Staggs (:

While you're thinking about it, I did. I punched an Oak cabinet door, this hand, and I felt one, two, and three break. No.

Keith Malinak (:

bro. See, that sounds like something I would do. You know, there's somebody very mild mannered that you know, and I know that kicked the wall once and this individual's foot went through the wall and this individual had to repair the wall because me and her were renting it.

Brad Staggs (:

I would rather do that

Wes Castelhano (:

You

Brad Staggs (:

Then and did this individual learn her lesson? I mean his lesson

Keith Malinak (:

This individual went on to become a preacher.

Brad Staggs (:

And preaches heavily on not putting your foot through walls.

Keith Malinak (:

It was college related. It was like a class related.

Brad Staggs (:

This is woman related.

Keith Malinak (:

she didn't like this class and she was very frustrated. And so she's like, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna kick a wall completely out of character. And then she had to go and repair the wall and add wallpaper on it too.

Brad Staggs (:

reason

Brad Staggs (:

Hit it.

Wes Castelhano (:

Yeah.

Brad Staggs (:

it was.

Keith Malinak (:

And so me and this individual may or may not have been renting this house from my grandparents. Hey, what do think of this updated wallpaper that we decided to put in? We didn't do shit! That was all you.

Brad Staggs (:

I would have just duct taped it.

Keith Malinak (:

Let's see, I don't have any, I like to finish with like a feel good story, but I'm looking at the tabs that I have left here and nothing making me feel good. I got two artsy stories for you or two artsy videos for you. What do you got?

Brad Staggs (:

I'm trying to say.

Brad Staggs (:

I've got this one. It's a wharf if they put him on Starfleet Academy.

Keith Malinak (:

What are we doing here?

this show.

Brad Staggs (:

The Starfleet Academy has the first gay Klingon.

Keith Malinak (:

Which you would think if you noodle that out, that's surprising that's the first

Brad Staggs (:

Because they would kill him and eat him! Because it wouldn't frigging happen!

Keith Malinak (:

and stuff. Okay, hold on. I got two artsy videos and then I'm gonna leave everybody alone for their weekend because I gotta call my bank before they go home. Okay, look at this. Okay, I'm sorry. I ruined that one. Stop with the music. Look at that. Lincoln, right? Don't care for him.

Brad Staggs (:

I where you're gonna be now, because I heard the music.

Keith Malinak (:

I know I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I enough leave me alone. So look at it see this That's awesome, man

Brad Staggs (:

That's it took.

Brad Staggs (:

But isn't it impressive? I knew who it was going to be when I heard the music.

Keith Malinak (:

you can name that song in two notes apparently

Brad Staggs (:

Wouldn't have taken me that long, Kathie Lee.

She used to be on, name that tune. She was the singer. She was the, yeah. She and some dude that sat there. was a dude and then she would sing.

Keith Malinak (:

I didn't know that Cathy was ever associated with.

Brad Staggs (:

100 years ago. She was on the, it was the original name that tune. Wow. That's how old I am.

Keith Malinak (:

I used to love that show. I didn't know half the songs that they were playing. Why are you gay? What do mean why am I gay? You are gay. Okay, but... This is the part where Keith is like frantically looking for the tab that he's...

Brad Staggs (:

Really used to love that show then what?

Brad Staggs (:

I'm tap dancing all I can here and I've really I've got

Keith Malinak (:

Play another one of those gay things, would you?

Brad Staggs (:

my god

Wes Castelhano (:

Gosh!

Keith Malinak (:

Hang on a second. You know what? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm calling an audible. I'm going to play one thing. And I just sent this to Zeely before I went live. And I said, you have to watch this. This is why we love Norm MacDonald. Hold on. Hold on. This came up on my algorithm. I got it. I got it. This came up in my algorithm. And I was like, Zeely, this is comedy. This is comedy. This is how it used to be done. Norm MacDonald, RIP. so let me, I'll probably get flagged.

you to see this. This is from:

Brad Staggs (:

I meet somebody new, you know, this every day I meet somebody new

Keith Malinak (:

I is this a can your lips move sir let's try this again let's this again

Brad Staggs (:

Well so far Because the neighborly people you know But I think one neighbor interesting story, you that I this guy it just moved in, know next door to me So I'm one to meet the neighbors

Keith Malinak (:

You're like the Japanese

Brad Staggs (:

Yeah, because you know, so I I went over to the guy not your door next door to where I live and I say to the guy I said hey I'm your new neighbor, you know, and I said good to see you, know, nice to nice to run in Gia, you know, I welcome to the the neighborhood, you know, and the guy I said, what do you do for a living there, sir? You know, if you don't mind me asking, you know, what do you do for a living? I'm a I'm a nightclub comic. I tell the guy so he says to me he says I'm a I worked out of the University of

science there he says I'm a I'm a professor of logic so I says the guy says logic now what the hell is that I never heard tell of that he says well he says it's a kind of a pattern of syllogistic well he says it's hard to explain he says why don't I give you an example

Keith Malinak (:

That's a good school, by the way.

Brad Staggs (:

So I said, fair enough, why don't you do that? So the guy says, well, he says, let me ask you a question. He says, do you own a dog house? So I go, yes, I do. He says, well, then that means you probably have a dog. I said, yes. He says, well, that means you're likely to have a family if you have a dog. I said, yes, I do. He said, well, then that means you got the kids, you're married. I said, yes, yes, I am. He says, well, then you're a heterosexual man.

I said, yes sir, I am. He says, well, you see, that's logic there. I asked him simply from finding out you had a dog house. I made this series of inferences and I found that you're a heterosexual man simply from the fact that had a dog house. Well, I said, good God, isn't that something? So I said, well, I won't waste any more of your time there, neighbor. And I said, I'll see you. See you later. See you around.

I said, come on, come by one day and have a chicken with me. So anyways, I left. So I left. So I go to get a bus, you know, to the bus stop. And I walk down to the bus stop and I'm still thinking about this thing that happened to me, you know, and I'm standing at the bus and no bus coming at all, you know, five or six of us standing around and one guy lights up a cigarette there and he goes,

He goes, as soon as you light up a cigarette, the bus comes. he smokes the whole damn cigarette, no bus comes. So I said to the guy, well, that theory really worked, huh? And the guy goes, well, sometimes it works. Anyways, the guy goes, what's new with you? I go, well, I had an interesting thing happen to me today. I said, I met my neighbor. And he goes, yeah? I go, he had a hell of an interesting job. I said, he's a professor of logic down at the University of... Science.

And so the guy says, is that so? says, Professor of logic. He goes, what the hell is that logic? I said, well, it's a series of Scylla something or other. I said, I can't remember exactly, but I said, I'll give you an example if you want to hear an example. So the guy goes, all right, fair enough. So I said, let me ask you this. said, let me ask you a question. Do you own a dog house?

Brad Staggs (:

And the guy goes, no, I don't own a dog house. So I says, the guy says, yeah, you're one of them gays.

Keith Malinak (:

I'm so

Brad Staggs (:

Bye!

Brad Staggs (:

He's dead, you know.

Keith Malinak (:

I know I said this was we have feel-good ending like deal

Brad Staggs (:

What is that?

Keith Malinak (:

But that backfired. I'm going to go watch some OK Go videos. See you later. I miss you already. I'll see you Friday. Don't forget we're OK. He's gone. It's just you and me. How's everybody doing? to call my bank. Find out what nefarious thing has happened to my bank account. All right. Hey, have a great weekend. Thanks for hanging out. Brad's got like when I say Brad's gone.

I mean, Brad's got like, he's not down here in the bottom here, like listening in. So even though I have a message for him, he can't hear it. And he's not going to go back and watch this, but we're going to work very hard to get the Wednesday audio fixed. So help me. and I will say that, I had a fun interview with someone that I've recorded and what is so funny. I'll tell y'all because you know, you're in the club, you're hanging out here at the end of the damn Friday live stream.

When I recorded it that is before was it Mary Mary didn't you come up with wild card Wednesday? Did I'm right that was you right Mary? I think so I was calling it was I called Miscellaneous Wednesday or discovery Wednesday. That's where poor Wes had to go and change the button You know because I changed the title there because a genius idea because wild card just leaves it open for me to talk about whatever so anyway, so you actually hear me when I recorded this interview

couple weeks ago. That's when I said, welcome to Discovery Wednesday, everybody. So anyway, Wildcard Wednesday, I got a fun interview recorded for you. But before that, it will be Brad and I hanging out with his what the, Wednesday, don't forget to follow him at real brad stags, the daily mojo.com. He does this thing over there. We'll be back live on Wednesday at 3pm Eastern. Thank you, Mary. Yes, I knew it was you.

And until then, please share this show. Remember, it's a one-person project. You got to tell somebody about this. Go like, subscribe, rate, review, all that fun stuff. Hopefully, I have money still in the bank. I hope I still have the $12 that I left in there last time I checked my account balance. Anyway, have a great weekend. Appreciate all of you. Take care. Be safe. Thanks for hanging out with us.
