	Good evening, good evening, half-pinch, half-punch, midway of the month, 14th of August, 2024, 1-4-0-8-2-4.
	That's a lot of numbers.
	Good evening, good evening, and welcome, welcome, freedomain.com to help out Le Show, Le Most Leppreciated.
	Didn't know you, didn't.
	Was Izzy shocked at the amount of taxes she has to pay from her job, but she's a teenager, right, so she doesn't really pay much of anything, but we'll get into Izzy's work
	Experience-slash-situation-slash-stuff.
	But first, let's talk about X. So, it turns out, funny story, you don't really even have to be on X or Twitter to go viral.
	So, I went viral this week, not even around, somebody sent it to me, and there were two ways in which
	Monsieur Lamy went viral.
	The first was some guy saying, hey, whatever happened to that Steph guy?
	He seemed pretty innocuous to me, and they kind of nuked him out of the galaxy.
	And another guy saying, if you weren't on the internet before 2020, you did not deeply understand, or even in a shallow way, understand the deep insanity that is Stéphane Molyneux.
	And people posted tweets of mine that they considered mad!
	And I'm like, yeah, that seems about right.
	Nothing in particular has changed.
	So I got 5.4 million on one and over 3 million on the others.
	And, um, I thought that was interesting.
	And I did a video response to some of the comments, which were interesting to put it mildly.
	But, uh, it's, it's amazing.
	You know, nobody, nobody goes to source material anymore.
	Like nobody goes to source material.
	Everyone's like, oh, I heard this crazy thing about Steph.
	It's gotta be true.
	Cause prejudice, bigotry, and idiocy.
	And nobody ever says, wow, can you, can you give me a quote of that?
	No, I can't do any of that.
	Just going to accept the most outlandish stuff.
	So here's the funny thing.
	Right, I guess that's 8.4, 8.5 million views.
	Translated, just out of curiosity, right?
	Because some people were like, oh wow, yeah, Steph, I remember that guy, he was really influential to me, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	And people were posting, he's won website over, he's over on Locals, he's on Rumble, all this kind of stuff, right?
	FreeDomain.com.
	So just out of curiosity.
	8.4 million views of those tweets.
	How many new subscribers on Locals came out of that?
	People wonder why I'm not on X. I mean, other than the sort of moral stuff.
	How many new subscribers?
	Hello!
	Ah, she's bought food, which I will chew loudly into the microphone.
	So, remember I went a little viral on X this week, right?
	You can walk up to here, up to the microphone is your level.
	Sorry, we're just going to mute for a couple of minutes.
	So Her Majesty can eat the cake.
	She denies the peasants, Marie Antoinette.
	I'm just going to eat really loudly in the microphone.
	She's going to.
	We're actually just going to put some chocolate syrup on the microphone.
	Oh my gosh, that's disgusting.
	R.I.P.
	headphone users.
	I'm eating.
	One website over.com.
	Meat and cheese sandwich with one piece of bread because I... What?
	Hang on.
	Well, that's a massive betrayal.
	Because I didn't want you to make me one the other night?
	No, no.
	Although that... Oh my god, that's two massive betrayals!
	Three massive betrayals!
	Now, what is the most significant and foundational massive betrayal?
	What?
	That I have to do this for lunch?
	No, no, no.
	It's not a taco!
	Oh, it is a taco, James!
	You're quite right.
	Don't tilt it!
	Don't tilt it!
	I'm gonna be like those streamers that tilt and it just... That's right.
	Waterfall of nutrition.
	No, it's- I do eat meat, I'm not a vegetarian.
	It's because we went to a bakery today, and I got the most delicious bread known to mortals.
	It's hungered up, it's stuffed, and it's literally mold- Izzy, with the mouth full, I'm just concerned about the politeness of the room.
	It's moldy bread!
	They literally mold the yeast, and then they make it.
	Moldy bread?
	Sourdough is moldy bread.
	Someone went and ate moldy bread and was like, it's delicious.
	And made it moldy.
	Just because it's sour doesn't mean that it's moldy.
	No, it is.
	They actually like... Okay, I'm gonna need a fact check on this.
	And if someone said one bread sandwich, yes.
	It's because when I put two pieces of bread on, it's too dry.
	So I like one bread so I can actually taste the stuff.
	4 to 4 point... 4 to 4.5% too dry.
	He does the exact same thing.
	Fermented flour.
	Yeah, you ferment it.
	James has literally made it!
	James, tell us!
	If you break it down at the atomic level, it is... Wait, hang on, hang on.
	If you break it down at the atomic level, its constituent components are identical to a taco, ergo it's a taco.
	I'm gonna have to call absolute scientific nonsense on that, and we know this because Izzy is now learning... What is she learning?
	She's learning chemistry!
	She's learning chemistry so she can learn how to be attracted to males, because it's all about... Chemistry!
	There we go.
	Alright.
	Uh, no, so the- It's fermented.
	Fermented flour?
	Is that what sourdough is?
	Are tacos sandwiches?
	I've literally- yeah, you know what, whatever.
	Taco cat is a palindrome.
	I think tacos are more like hot dogs.
	Oh, sorry, gonna have to delete that.
	Steph, don't pretend, yeah.
	Um, wait, go down.
	Scroll down.
	Up.
	Two up.
	Give me your mice.
	Give me your mouse.
	Thank you.
	Sourdough is the best dough.
	I'm going here.
	He said, the world needs to know, are tacos sandwiches?
	I would say they're hot dogs.
	Because if it's a sandwich, it has to have an open piece on either end.
	Or they're a sub.
	But honestly, I think subs are just hot dogs, but modernized.
	So I think everything's a hot dog if it's connected at one end.
	Sure, sure.
	Interesting.
	One slice o' bread is the way.
	Oh, how very Irish of him.
	Oh, really.
	O' bread.
	One slice o' bread is the way.
	All right.
	If you're gonna bread, what does that mean?
	Ew, sourdough.
	It's like you take some spoiled dough and mix it with normal dough.
	With a man in finance who's six foot four.
	Okay, what?
	Wraps are greater than sandwiches.
	Sourdough via anaerobic process.
	Anaerobic.
	Does that mean no oxygen?
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	I have not had a truly drunk audience since the last time I did a livestream.
	I think since the last time I came on here.
	We always talk about food, and that gets people mad.
	Uh, yes.
	Well, no, what really gets people mad is talking about diets.
	Alright, um, what have we got here?
	Okay, but is cereal soup?
	Yeah.
	Interesting question.
	No, soup is cereal.
	I'm still curious to try olives on a hot dog.
	If you can still see the hot dog, you're not saving enough money with the olives.
	Oh, oh, wait, sorry.
	Hot dogs for a ridiculous amount of money.
	Can you do a good actually voice?
	Actually.
	OK, can you can you just read what what James has to say here?
	Actually, all bread is somewhat fermented.
	The difference is in the yeast you're using.
	Sourdough uses culture you keep alive, whereas other breads use dry yeast and the taste is different.
	And the way you do actually is you go, actually.
	Actually.
	That's excellent.
	Nothing but moldy bread for three stinking days.
	Oh good.
	We've got someone who's calling from Soviet gulags in the 1950s.
	All right.
	Uh, okay.
	So let's get back here.
	Oh, is it showing up in both places?
	Let's check.
	There's one other place we need to check, which is the massive numbers of people watching over on
	Rrrrumble!
	Oh, okay.
	No, that's nothing.
	Nothing exciting over there.
	All right.
	Wow.
	Um... I'm roasting the rumble people.
	By the way, I've been hearing an old-style sort of cell phone beeping in the audio.
	My phone is on silent, and I also... I've only gotten a... Can you put it on airplane mode?
	Because it might be interfering.
	No, it's on silent.
	No, airplane mode.
	Because as it tries to get... I need to get a text of my work updates.
	Oh, you do?
	Okay.
	They're yapping tonight.
	All right.
	Something about hours.
	I don't even know.
	Okay, so, questions for Izzy.
	One was, are you shocked at the amount of taxes being deducted from your paycheck?
	So, considering I'm actually under the age of 18, so I don't get taxed.
	I've got two and a half years.
	So I'm definitely going to savor it while I can.
	I'm asking for like as many hours, like I have two 11 hours shifts this weekend and then a five hour shift on Friday and then like a bunch during the week as well.
	So yeah, I'm getting as much money as I can before I get hit with taxes.
	There's a sort of a general principle that the government does, which is they want to keep people on the benefit side of taxation as long as humanly possible.
	So you get daycare, you get government schools, you get free healthcare, free dental care.
	This is your mic, by the way.
	And then what you do is you give them subsidies and grants to go to university, and only then and later on, and now in Canada, do you know what percentage of people work for the government?
	25%.
	One out of four people who are working are working from the... I don't even get breaks at my place.
	I just work at the government.
	Oh no, government, you get a lot of breaks.
	A lot of breaks.
	It's all breaks.
	But they want to keep you on the receiving end so that when you do finally pay taxes, you have received so many benefits that you've been programmed, right?
	Yeah.
	Here's my pro tip.
	Just identify as like a 16-year-old or a 15-year-old so that when you're working, legally they can't tax you because otherwise that would be hate speech and they're not allowing you to be you.
	Right.
	Okay, so Steph, did you tell us how many new subscribers came from going viral on X?
	Like 60 or something.
	Now, is someone actually asking me to finish a story?
	I mean, yeah, but you've come to the wrong show, buddy.
	Woof!
	That is... We're really going to break precedent if I start a thought and then at some point actually finish it.
	Did you answer the question?
	What?
	No, I'm still not answering the question, if you've noticed.
	But you can do it.
	What?
	What?
	I can do what?
	Answer the question?
	Yeah!
	On what evidence do you have that I finish thoughts?
	I don't know, apparently you're like some genius, self-proclaimed.
	Apparently, self-proclaimed genius.
	I'm concerned that if I finish thoughts, people will be satisfied.
	I regret not working since the age of five and saving money.
	My ex-co-worker, she's super nice, but she started working at the place I'm working, when she was 13.
	I didn't even know it was legal.
	I tried to get a job when I was 13 and they were like, you're too young.
	Now, Izzy, if you could stop distracting me, I think it's important for me to answer this question.
	Okay, so the question is, and I would like people so, Izzy, I did 8.4 million views, tens of thousands of comments and arguments and debates about me and good and bad and this and that and the other, right?
	And I did check about how many people actually subscribed, not just came and became members, but how many people ended up subscribing just on Locals, which is one way that I can tell, right?
	So 8.4 million, how many people do you think ended up subscribing on Locals?
	I mean, you already told me, so I can't guess.
	All right.
	How many?
	How many people?
	Not answering the question, is answering.
	Oh, aren't we very deep and very much a fortune cookie kind of brain?
	I mean, you are a philosophy.
	Well, yeah, but just paradoxes is not philosophy?
	Yeah.
	Or is it?
	Anyway.
	Maintain expectations.
	10,000!
	Wow, that would be... So out of 8.4 million, Zinfa's saying we got 10,000 new subscribers.
	Boy, that would be nice.
	60.
	Boy, there's a variation here!
	I said it, that's the thing!
	I started delivering Flyers and Sears catalogs around the age of 11 or 12.
	Wow.
	Curious, what is everyone's first job?
	Yeah, we'll get to first jobs.
	Okay, 10,068, 68, 100.
	Let's check here.
	I'm watching from Rumble, says Iron Jack.
	Excellent.
	What, somebody guessed 4?
	I know that was me.
	You say, oh my gosh, what did you just say?
	Oh, you already told me father.
	I can't possibly answer.
	All right.
	84.
	Wow.
	Greater than seven.
	Less than seven.
	100.
	Oh, greater shoe.
	Homeschooling for the win.
	Okay.
	Uh, so I like how he's like greater than, but that's not a guess.
	I mean, technically, I mean, if it was under the seven, then.
	I misinterpreted the question.
	Oh, I'm sorry, man.
	You've already been marked.
	Yeah, it's already gone into your permanent record, which will be forwarded to the establishment authorities and any higher education that you want to do.
	Okay, so the answer is two.
	No, so 60 with the number of people who decided to join locals, two with the number of people who decided to subscribe.
	Now, I mean, we get a subscriber or two every day or other day or something like that.
	So basically, given that the average would be one out of
	8.4 million views and tens of thousands of comments, we got between one and two subscribers.
	Yeah, I mean, I would count it as the 60 because some people might just be like, um...
	What am I trying to say?
	You don't know, but if you could tell us, that would be excellent.
	Yep.
	This is the symbol.
	People don't know what this symbol is.
	Oh yeah.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	Yes.
	I get a fair amount of Air Pac-Man during the course of the day.
	Um, what was I going to say?
	I was, oh yeah, I'd probably be like 60.
	I mean, considering, I wouldn't say two, 60 people are probably came to see like what's up with the show and like, if you're still interesting or not.
	Yep.
	Um, because I don't think people would just see a tweet and immediately come subscribe for money.
	Well, you would actually be right about that.
	Right.
	I'm just saying.
	I'm just saying.
	So, even 60... James, can you just grab that?
	Because I did the ratio.
	I was telling James about the 60 people who joined for free, which is fine.
	Joined locals and welcome, nice to have you here.
	But I was telling James 60 people joined and he was like,
	Wow, that's great.
	And I'm like, I don't quite agree.
	And James, if you can just give me the, I can't remember, I think it was four or five zeros, the percent conversion rate from 8.4 million, just down to the 60 who joined.
	James is going to pop that up.
	But yeah, it really was quite something.
	So, all right, let's see here.
	Let's get to your questions in just a sec.
	You don't need to answer that one, but... You've got to admit human productivity in the modern world is extraordinarily high if 25% of the population can survive while also contributing nothing to the market.
	Well, fancy Duke, I must tell you that's not quite accurate.
	Government workers, not only do they not contribute to the market, they take away by interfering with other people's productive endeavors.
	Alright, so let's see here.
	We're still waiting on James to give me the number.
	It's just copy-paste. 60!
	60 out of 8.4 million is a conversion rate.
	Conversion rate is general impressions to people who participate in something or other.
	Like if you send out a mail out, the number of people who come to your website or whatever it is, right?
	So, 60 out of 8.4 million is 0.00071% just members, not subscribers.
	James, would you mind running the 8.4 million and two paying subscribers?
	That'd totally be like 0.001.
	Two paying subscribers.
	I think it'd be 5%.
	It's the fact that it's... Or like, 0.005, yeah, whatever, you get what I'm saying.
	Yeah.
	So, two supporters outpoint 8.4 million impressions at 0.000024%.
	So, at this rate, I'm selling a kidney by next week.
	So, just, just, you know, I have sort of my moral reasons for not going back on X. Wait, there's another zero in there.
	Yes, I get that, I get that
	That 2 is 30 times less than 60, which means that there's more zeros.
	Thank you, I appreciate that.
	I think I did count the right number of zeros.
	But thank you for that.
	Very, very obvious statement.
	Anyway, so, just so you know, I mean, the rumors out there, some I'd never even heard before, which are just pretty mind-blowing, so the rumors and nonsense that's out there about me is pretty wild.
	But I will say that it was pretty nice to still be wildly controversial, like, over four years since being deplatformed.
	To still be able to enrage people into love and hatred after having been gone for 50 months.
	I mean, that is really, really something.
	That is really, really something.
	It's a talent.
	It's a talent.
	It's a talent.
	All right.
	So a number of people, I did ask sort of if people had questions ahead of time, and a number of people had questions for you because I said you got your first, well actually it's your second job, because your first job... With slaving away in the factories of the Steph Friedemann Workshop.
	A little bit of that, but I would say that your first job is mood managing the Patriarch since what age?
	Like three.
	Three?
	Three, three.
	Well, that you can remember.
	Yes, I think it's a baby, there are some, but it's just lost in the depths of time.
	Yeah, probably some.
	So, work experience.
	I've actually learned quite a lot from your job, much to my horror.
	Oh my god!
	Much to my horror.
	This is horrifying.
	I have an 11 hour shift with zero breaks, and then I have a 12 hour shift with also zero breaks.
	Cleaning chimneys is very tough.
	I'm like a little Santa's elf.
	Yeah, we're actually just referring to you as Oliver Twist.
	Okay, so if you can tell people, obviously we won't get into specifics and details, but tell people a little bit about the job as a whole.
	So, I was hired very, very quickly after new management took over.
	I think it was a day.
	And you got the, you got the job before the interview was even booked to start.
	About five, I think it was eight minutes early.
	Um, the interview was, I don't know, like two or 3 PM or something.
	And I showed up like eight minutes early and she came in and she's like, oh, hello.
	And she sat down and we chatted and then she said, yeah.
	So when can you start after asking me like three questions?
	And I'm like, oh, like I can start tomorrow if you want.
	Anyways, I ended up starting two days after that, but it was on a Monday.
	And then I had my first training on a Wednesday.
	Wait, what did you do on Monday?
	The interview.
	Oh, the interview.
	So you started, you went in just for training on Wednesday.
	I went in just for training on Wednesday, but my interview was Monday and I was hired in eight minutes, I think.
	Yeah.
	And I remember it was like 1.59 or 1.58 and I called you guys and I'm like, hey, can you come pick me up?
	I'm like, we haven't even started the interview yet.
	You're like, how did I mess up that bad?
	No, I didn't think that was happening, but yeah.
	Yeah.
	So they'd already left cause they thought it would be like 20 minutes.
	Oh yeah, for sure.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	But then we came back and I was like, I'm hired.
	So how was your training on the Wednesday?
	Oh my God.
	So I get there and the place I work at, so it's a cafe and then an ice cream shop.
	And it's like, they're different buildings, but it's the same business.
	And they're attached.
	They're kind of attached, but not exactly.
	Like you can't get from one to the other.
	So technically they're different buildings.
	But I think you're building tunnels.
	No, you can't- I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
	What?
	You're building tunnels between the two.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, it's like a little underground cave p- pla- bleh.
	Mines.
	Yeah, you get what I'm saying.
	But, um... What was it?
	Sorry, I was- So, I got there on- on Wednesday.
	On Wednesday, and it was a two-hour training shift because I started working in the ice cream shop.
	This was like, I don't know, a month or two- a month ago.
	Just over a month ago.
	It's been a year and a month?
	Yeah, I started July 1st.
	Wow.
	Okay.
	Um... But...
	It was the, they didn't have the ice cream shop open, so they were starting it just for the season, you know, kids got out of school and stuff like that.
	But they had a little ice cream freezer in the actual cafe, in case people wanted it, they could scoop it and serve it to them.
	However, one of my co-workers, who I really like, I didn't obviously know her at the time, but I've put pieces together, she turned the freezer off the night before, just accidentally, like she kicked the button.
	And, uh, the entire freezer, all the ice cream had melted completely, and it was... Pains me.
	It was also, like, when you scoop ice cream, um, and I've learned this over the last couple weeks, sometimes the scoop's just, like, the ice cream's just gonna fly out of the scoop and fall to the bottom of the freezer.
	This freezer probably hadn't been cleaned in two or three years.
	Because the amount of ice cream at the bottom, like you can make at least 10 or 20 cones.
	Like I'm dead serious.
	It was just ice cream and ice cream.
	However, it was all melted.
	So it was just a goopy mess.
	It was my job to clean it.
	So I spent about an hour cleaning out a frozen freezer.
	I could not- Which is what, how does that train you?
	I didn't get, I didn't learn anything.
	Right.
	And then after that, we had to clean out the actual ice cream.
	It's like, I want to say, um, we call it the barn.
	It's not a barn, but it's like a little tiny room.
	Maybe, I want to say the size of a big car.
	Yeah, it's tight in there.
	Well, the room's a little bigger, but there's lots of shelves and freezers.
	There's shelves around every corner, there's a sink, and then there's two freezers and two fridges and one drink.
	It's like a space station.
	It's really tight in there.
	And then half the floor space is used to store stuff, so there's maybe about a meter and a half of walking space.
	It's tiny in there.
	What interview questions did they ask?
	Oh, the question was about the job, so I'm just explaining.
	But I get in there and there's another girl there who was also supposed to work ice cream.
	She was in college, I believe, and this was like she was quitting a different job and trying to get this.
	I don't know why you go from a waitress to scooping ice cream in college, but you know,
	You do you.
	Um, but she was there and we were both cleaning and she was very quiet.
	Like I was trying to make small talk and just chat with her and ask her about her life.
	And she was like kind of two word responses and stuff.
	So we basically just cleaned in silence for about half an hour.
	So I'm an hour and a half into my training.
	And then this one girl comes in and she's like, we do not have a cash register.
	Do any of you guys did like a little earlier, we had some garbage bags that we just taken out.
	She was like, did any of you guys throw out the cash register?
	Cause it was in a black garbage bag.
	Did any of you throw out the cash register?
	I don't know.
	I mean, it was in a garbage bag.
	Why was the cash register in a garbage bag?
	There was a pile of garbage.
	You said throw it out.
	Seems important.
	I basically said there was a pile of garbage in this room.
	You and me and the other girl threw it out.
	How are we supposed to know if it was in one of those bags?
	And she's like, well, did you throw it out?
	And I'm not on good terms with this girl, but I was like, I have no idea.
	Anyways.
	And I offered because, you know, I was like really anxious and I'm like, I want to be a good worker.
	So I was like, I can go look.
	In the garbage.
	In the garbage with the wasps.
	Yes.
	And how do you throw out?
	Why would you put it in a garbage bag?
	Anyways, I got the cash register back.
	However, it's broken, so we can't even shut it.
	Wait, it's broken because it was thrown out?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Like with the force because it was at the bottom of the bag.
	So we had to clean the cash register and then it's kind of broken.
	So you have to go underneath and there's a little mechanism you can use to open it.
	For any of you who worked, I think most cash registers are like this.
	And we have to go under every time we want to open it.
	We have to lift it up.
	Hit a little mechanism, pull it back, and then push it forward.
	Where it's supposed to be, after you push the dials, it's supposed to, oh, like, the buttons are supposed to open, right?
	Yeah, the buttons don't even work.
	The screen's just completely fried.
	Ew, covered in garbage juices.
	Oh, it was not fun.
	Anyway, yeah, welcome to the workforce.
	Thank you, I appreciate it.
	And then, what was it?
	During this, a customer comes, and the other girls are like, we're closed.
	And they're like, oh, do you not have any ice cream?
	And they're like,
	No, it all melted.
	But we do have ice cream.
	That's the thing.
	In the cafe?
	No, the cafe ice cream melted, but in the actual ice cream barn, we had it still from like a month ago or whatever, but ice cream stays good for three or four months.
	So anyways, I'm like, yeah, we do.
	And they're like, what?
	I'm like, it's in the freezers, guys.
	You run this place.
	How do you not know?
	Obviously, I don't sound that emphatic or rude when I'm talking to them, but that's kind of the gist of what I said.
	Literally getting paid to dumpster dive.
	Yeah, honestly, I'm like a garbage man at this point.
	Anyways, I have become the garbage girl, pretty much.
	I have to do, anytime there's something gross, they call me in.
	Like, I'm dead serious.
	Hey!
	Who's the girl who's good with that?
	Yeah, so, and I literally, like, I've said to them, guys, can I, like, stop doing this, you know?
	I'm, like, the 15-year-old y'all are in college, like, putting the, like, the new hire to do all the gross stuff, and it's been some seriously gross stuff.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Like, really bad.
	But no, apparently not.
	Anyways, the tips are insane, so I'll still work there.
	Apparently it's the only place I'm hiring because I can't get a job anywhere else.
	But yeah, you know, that was a complete mess.
	And then on Friday, I had a four hour shift of actually working, despite a lot of stuff not working.
	Um, and you know what it is?
	The very first day I worked there, a ton of people were, like, doing the, like, asking the weirdest questions or trying to pay with, like, European dollars.
	That's right.
	Or American dollars, right?
	I'm going to pay with stock tips and dance moves.
	No, literally.
	And I was like, I don't know what to do.
	And then I've never had any experience like that after the first day.
	So on the day I had no idea what I was doing, I got all the weird stuff.
	No one's tried to pay in American dollar cents.
	No one's asked for just cones without the ice cream.
	No one's asked for like a four scoop ice cream, which we don't even sell.
	That was all on my first day, which I just felt like completely unlucky.
	Well, and you went in without training on that first day.
	Yeah.
	So here's the thing.
	The other girl, she quit before she even started.
	She just said, you know what?
	This job's not for me.
	I'm actually kind of glad because I did not want to work with her.
	And it's literally us for like eight hours.
	It's me and my coworker.
	So I have a different coworker now.
	She's super nice.
	I really like her.
	Yeah, so that was a bit of a mess.
	Anyways, I've been yapping a lot.
	No, no, it's good.
	It was just that first day I was there four hours by myself.
	Fortunately, it completely poured.
	That was like super fortunate because it wasn't that busy.
	But it did get a bit busy and I didn't have any way to call people from the cafe.
	There's a button now and they set that up two weeks in.
	It was really funny because it was on the Friday and then I had two eight-hour shifts on the weekend in a row, Saturday and Sunday, it was 12 to 8, plus closing.
	Then I said, the next day, this one girl, the girl who was like, did you throw out the cash register like really aggressively?
	She came in and she's like, are you worried about tomorrow?
	And I'm like, well, a little bit.
	Yeah.
	Cause I haven't really learned anything.
	And, uh, I've heard it gets busy on the weekends.
	He's like, yeah, we'll literally go down the street.
	There will be a lineup down the street.
	And I'm like, that's, that's comforting.
	And she's like, no, I'm serious.
	It's going to get really busy.
	So you're going to have to scoop really fast.
	I'm like, okay.
	Calm down!
	And then I'm like, why am I working alone?
	Like, don't you have someone from the cafe you can call in?
	Because I've barely got any training either.
	My Wednesday was spent cleaning.
	Well, you did get training for if people throw out essential business equipment into the garbage with the wasps.
	You're trained on that.
	Does Canada accept American currency in normal stores?
	No.
	And to my knowledge, no.
	Because when I, when I said, because I didn't know what to do and I wasn't going to be like, no, you can't pay with American in case they were like, yeah, you can.
	I've done it before.
	Right.
	So I was just like, okay.
	Did you take it at par, or?
	It was exactly, their order was exactly 20.
	Oh, okay.
	And the dollar, the bill was 20, so I was just like, I'll take this.
	All right.
	And then, I was like, why is there an American 20 in here?
	Right, right, right, right.
	Because you didn't tell me if I could accept it or not!
	Right, right, right, right.
	So, yeah, it was a bit of a mess.
	Now, if there's more that you want to add, that's fine.
	No.
	But I do think that we need to turn...
	To the horror of what I've learned from Izzy's job.
	Yeah.
	So it's not the most... Honorable?
	Masculine of environments.
	Oh no, there's only women.
	There's not a single man.
	Yeah, it's all young ladies.
	The last man that worked there was when it opened seven years ago.
	Right.
	Because I found a... What's it called?
	A sheet of like the very... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And there were two male names and that's it.
	So...
	Tips.
	Tips are insane.
	Tips are insane.
	I need more than my hourly wage in tips.
	So tips are crazy.
	And I mean like per hour, not the whole day.
	So tips are kind of crazy.
	And it seems to me that the females are not completely ignorant of the relationship between young men liking them and getting good tips.
	Do I have that?
	Do I have that correct?
	Fairly blunt terms, they discuss the best way, I don't know if bamboozle is the right way, but to dress and act in order to extract maximum money from the, well, the men.
	The men.
	Yeah.
	The young men, the boys and the men.
	And that is really quite shocking to me.
	I thought it was just like a vague instinct or something like that, but it's like, boom, very specific.
	Do this, do this, do this.
	Ka-ching!
	Yeah, so I'll just explain one thing.
	So when I was, I was pretty much promoted to the cafe in three weeks, and I would say, not from some, or not from all, but like two or three specific co-workers, they're acting pretty resentful about that, because I think for them it took two years, year and a half, that kind of thing.
	And most people in this cafe start in the ice cream shop, and then once they're proven worthy, they move to the cafe.
	But again, a lot of people, that takes some time.
	Right.
	So I've been in the cafe.
	Let me tell you, the training is even worse in there than it was for ice cream.
	But I was asking this one girl, who I really like as well.
	This is a nice coworker, no resentment.
	She's perfectly chill.
	But we were just chatting because it was really slow.
	And I was like, do you guys, I mean, do you strategize?
	Like, what's the best way to get tips here?
	Boom!
	Out comes the facts!
	Holy crap!
	Yeah, it was like crazy.
	She's like, oh, we call this coworker in to do this if we're having bad tips and we do this and we've measured and like, it's really funny.
	It's really, they just like boom, boom, boom.
	And I'm not sure it comes with the highest level of respect for the patriarchy as humanly possible.
	I'm not sure that they're like, well, but the magnificent males in the environment seem to respond positively to these incentives.
	It's like, yeah, we do this, we get money.
	And that doesn't seem to be, um, it's not elevated, but it's very, very frank.
	And I think that's very, very interesting.
	Um, because I think men, um, I think we think that we're somewhat mysterious as men.
	You're not mysterious.
	I'm telling you, every woman sees all of your motives and knows what's going on.
	I will see a guy walk in and I'll, I know immediately how much he's going to tip, uh, why he's tipping, like all that stuff.
	Like seriously, I don't even need to talk to him, just look.
	And it's not just me, this is just a woman thing, like I'm not taking any pride in this.
	Yeah, it's just an instinct, right?
	It's just an instinct.
	So, yes, it is interesting.
	College taught me ratios are everywhere, right?
	So let's see.
	What did people say?
	Yeah, let us know what your first jobs are.
	I'm kind of curious.
	A worst job in a restaurant?
	Dishwasher.
	I did that when I was young.
	I lasted two days as a dishwasher and I was like, I'd rather sell a kidney or live under a bridge than be a dishwasher.
	So I quit.
	Have they tried paying with Bitcoin?
	They have not.
	Tried paying with Bitcoin.
	Taking US at par for Canadian, yes.
	What else do we have here?
	My second job at age 16, cleaning an auto body shop out front in the shop.
	Fun times.
	Although cleaning an auto body shop would be tough work, I imagine.
	It'd be kind of fun, though.
	I bet it could be satisfying.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, what have we got here?
	My first job was in the US Army as a combat engineer at 17.
	Oh, that's sick!
	Yeah.
	I would do that.
	I mean, you did apply for that.
	But they said... Might not be the right type of person.
	James says, first job working for my father, not so fun, first non-family job, grocery store cashier.
	I wanted to work at a grocery store.
	Yes.
	But they never got back to me.
	I sent in a resume three times, I talked to so many people, and I called them, like, guys, I have a resume, and I emailed them, and, like, they would not give me the job.
	Well, I think in Canada there's a lot of subsidies for immigrant work.
	Yeah, I know there is.
	So that's less available for natives.
	It's crazy.
	And I thought I was mysterious to women this whole time.
	No, you're... No, no.
	So, Chris, you need to... Here, do we have a pen here?
	I have a water bottle.
	Yeah.
	So just hold this up.
	Pretend this is the pen from Men in Black.
	Boom.
	So you need to forget this and you need to return to the idea that you are mysterious to women and that they're baffled by your motives.
	It's really the only way.
	I would never.
	Right.
	So, you need to go back, because I don't think... There's a reason why male and female spaces need to stay separate at times, because if we learn too much about what the females think of us... Well, nothing good comes from that, I kind of... Do you think?
	I mean, can anything good... Yeah, nothing good can come from that.
	Nothing good can come from that.
	Women can stay mysterious, we men are painfully obvious.
	Let's see here.
	First job in middle school, paper route.
	Plenty of restaurant jobs in high school.
	Yeah, I did that kind of stuff too.
	Ooh, a butcher shop.
	That's not fun.
	First job butcher shop in supermarket.
	It's gross back there.
	God, I bet.
	Don't they?
	I'm sure they have power saws and stuff like that too, right?
	IIRC, 12-B combat engineer.
	I think he's just having a stroke.
	I don't think that's English anymore.
	He's just spamming.
	No, I'm kidding.
	Was the first combat MAS to accept females.
	Well, going right there.
	So the one thing I do love about people in the military is they think we all know all of their nonsense acronyms.
	Oh yeah, I know what the moss is.
	The 12B!
	The moss that grows on the tree.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I'm such a good army guy.
	Or girl.
	Or maybe it's one to be or not to be.
	That is the question.
	Because when you're dealing with an army guy, quoting Shakespeare, generally crosses all of that divide.
	All the wires are crossed.
	My first job was working for the U.S.
	Census.
	I thought that said, like, cemetery.
	I was like, what?
	U.S.
	Cemetery.
	Is it generally U.S.
	Cemetery?
	First job was delivering furniture to customers' houses.
	Some people live in disgusting situations.
	That is true.
	Uh, LOL.
	IIRC, if I remember correctly, and 12B or 11B are MOS codes.
	Well, that clears it up.
	Thanks.
	Yeah, that's Boyd.
	Talk about lifting the veil.
	Military Occupation Code, MOS.
	So now that we know that MOS stands for Military Occupation Code, would we say that we're any wiser whatsoever?
	I have my entire, like, perception of the world around me has opened up.
	I feel enlightened and my brain is functioning at three times the speed.
	Um, my first job was working in my local science center.
	Nerd!
	Sorry.
	At 14.
	Loved it.
	We told you the one in Canada was closing down or in Ontario, whatever that used to go to.
	My childhood.
	They still had the same, they still, they still had the same Mac computer from like when I was your age back then.
	Wasn't that in the history?
	Yeah.
	No, it was still powering something.
	Guys, I think I've gone over this in a show before, but we did talk about this last live.
	Mention it.
	Why not?
	Yeah.
	It's funny.
	I'll just mention it.
	It's funny.
	My history class was teaching the 1980s, 1990s as history.
	They didn't even go over the 1960s.
	They went 1950s.
	But not ancient history yet.
	I mean, it was like in the same area.
	The same area.
	Ancient Greeks.
	It was right after like the Spain.
	The Spain?
	The Spain!
	The Spain?
	After those people left Spain and it took over in the 19... like... 90... or 14... 1490s!
	There we go, okay.
	Oh, after they went to the New World.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	The Golden Age of Spain.
	That's what I was yapping at.
	There we go.
	Now, when I referred to him as a nerd, I wouldn't necessarily be excluding myself from those categories.
	I'd be like, nerd!
	My bestie!
	Actually!
	First job, busboy ended up serving, dishwashing, bartending, cooking, doing banquets at the same place?
	Banquets?
	Banquets?
	Is that banquets?
	Banquets.
	Banquets?
	Blankets.
	Oh, maybe he means baguettes.
	Like spearfishing with baguettes.
	You know, it's actually worse than when I say jalapenos.
	First job was construction.
	Still doing it after 10 years.
	Well, I guess technically my first job was being constructed in old mommy's womb.
	All right.
	My first job was refereeing kids' football matches.
	That's kind of cool.
	You suck!
	Sorry.
	Yeah, I'd probably do that.
	Right.
	The numbers indicate the field.
	The letter indicates the specific job.
	I've still learned nothing.
	Is he still trying to explain stuff?
	I'm sorry.
	Please stop trying to explain it.
	Yeah, please stop trying to explain things.
	It's just, you're basically digging a hole that's deeper.
	And for a military man, that just means a very, very deep trench.
	Let's see here.
	Mine was a shelf stocker at Kohl's.
	What's Kohl's?
	Oh, it's a grocery store.
	No, I think he means like a place that sells coal, like for heating.
	Oh, like when they send the children to the mines?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Cole.
	A shelf stocker at Cole's.
	Would you like that?
	Yes!
	Like, that's what I tried to apply to be!
	Ugh.
	Do you know how much I could organize stuff?
	That's like my dream.
	There's so many teenage guys that work there.
	Like that's literally, I go to the grocery store, that's all the, that's all the, like, the cafe I work at is all women.
	The one, the grocery store is all guys.
	Like, what is this?
	I don't know what that is.
	But, but, but I think the guys don't go to the place where there's tips.
	I hate to say it, but it's just guys don't get the same tips the girls do.
	No, it's true.
	Mine was carrying a gun and making sure people didn't rob the place.
	Wow.
	That's sick!
	Hopefully that was at 13 as well.
	I would work there.
	12?
	13's too old.
	Hello, just saying hi as it's my first time catching you live.
	However, it's past midnight here in Portugal and I'm off to bed.
	You absolute grandma.
	Oh, did you need your nappy nappy time?
	You know what?
	You have your Ovaltine and you rub your little ointments in your arthritis areas and you just go and have yourself a good beddy-bye.
	Just remember to put your adult diaper on so you don't pee the bed.
	All right.
	You know, I feel, I feel very brave when people have left the show.
	She's probably going to look back at this and be like, wow, I say hi and I just get viciously insulted to no end.
	No, no.
	I like to encourage people being open about their thoughts and feelings on this show.
	Cause you know, it's all about emotional expression.
	You're emotional expression.
	All right.
	It's on a need to know basis.
	Oh, that's the military stuff, right?
	Sorry.
	I just wanted to feel less retarded.
	Wait, what?
	Oh, this is the guy explaining all the military stuff?
	We don't get it.
	The way his military brain doesn't use advanced philosophy.
	I don't know that that feeling was achieved.
	Objectively.
	I think he made us feel retarded.
	No, I just, if people explain things badly, I refuse to feel stupid.
	Oh, the guy who said Kohl's is a bookstore.
	It was K-H-O-L-S or something like that.
	K-O-H-L-S.
	Same thing.
	It's really not.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's right.
	That's right.
	LOL, welcome to Military Lingo, where we acronym our acronyms and number them accordingly.
	Yeah, well, I... I did that with every single set of ducks we've had.
	These ones are the M7s.
	What?
	This is new.
	Anyways.
	All right.
	Okay, so I remember we used to sell our software to the military because it was about environmental issues.
	The military has huge environmental issues, of course, and we did make a point that they hooked us up to one of their acronym databases so that we knew what all the acronyms were in people's reports, and their acronym database was bigger than our environmental database.
	That's hilarious.
	It was very funny.
	All right.
	Lots of headlines about young workers who can't find a job, even less when you consider talk of Canada's population growing 100,000 million.
	Yeah, it's quite something.
	Coles was a bookstore.
	It's not C-O-L-E-S.
	It's with a K. He was from Twitter, wanted to check the source material after seeing Endless Slander.
	Now he's going to report back.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	I finally went over to Steph's show from Twitter.
	Because he said, why don't people follow me over?
	You grandmother!
	Yes, that's right.
	With your Alzheimer's!
	That's right.
	Well, you, you know, can't you listen to the show on that little machine that goes up the stairs in a spiral?
	No, no.
	Very, very, very slow machine that goes up that you sit on the spiral so that it helps you up the stairs because your knees... Okay.
	All right.
	You say all this.
	You're going to need one one day.
	FUBAR, the whole combo there.
	I don't know what FUBAR means because I'm far too innocent.
	It means they're fudged up beyond all repair.
	Yeah.
	Alright.
	Or it is pointless enough to not warrant a thorough explanation.
	No, it's not.
	I'm serious.
	Kohl's is a clothing store.
	You can't wear Kohl!
	That's for burning!
	Kohl's is a clothing store.
	Sorry, I thought it was a grocery store.
	They're basically the same thing.
	No, I don't think it is.
	If you're a moth, it's the same thing.
	Okay, we're gonna look up Kohl.
	No, it's with an S. Put an S. Oh, it is!
	Shop clothing?
	Department!
	Oh, it's a department store.
	Okay.
	Same thing.
	And what are we thinking of with groceries then?
	Zara's?
	No, I'm thinking of something else.
	Cell phone is not buzzing.
	Just keep it away from the microphone if you can.
	Thank you.
	No, no, it's because it's trying to contact the server and it goes through the microphone.
	Yeah, just for you.
	The job's gonna need me and I'm gonna get fired.
	It's all your fault.
	Today in government, breaking every American social security number may have been stolen as a new major hack with over 2.7 billion records allegedly compromised from national public data.
	How do you mess up?
	Was Hillary Clinton in charge of it?
	Like, what?
	That is excellent.
	Kohl's is also a grocery store show.
	That's what I'm thinking of!
	I don't think that's true.
	I think we're just getting trolled now.
	Oh, Australia?
	That's what I knew.
	I knew it.
	I'm just a genius.
	I actually live in Australia.
	Yeah.
	Um, yes, but I'm not sure.
	Oh, yeah, so it could be in Australia, right?
	Okay, because we've been there before.
	G'day, mate.
	Where do you want a kangaroo burgers?
	What?
	What was that?
	Yaf yaf, mate.
	No, did you say cows?
	Was that an Australian accent saying cows?
	COWS!
	You just have to sound vaguely constipated to do Australian.
	I can do an Asian and an Asian grandmother.
	So for Australian, you just want to sound, you want to sound sunburned, constipated and angry.
	COWS!
	Just talk normally then.
	All right.
	No, it's okay.
	It was funny.
	I can't even do accents.
	So the fact that you can't is like, I'm just mocking you out of jealousy.
	Well, Australia isn't real.
	I love that meme.
	It's like, Australia is like when Europeans go to a continent and 150 years later, it's like a paradise.
	It's amazing.
	All right.
	The cell phone thing is radio interference.
	It's not something you hear on your end.
	Yes.
	Uh, thank you, James.
	Oh, sorry.
	Can you actually, please actually up that?
	The cell phone thing is a radio interference.
	It's not something you hear on your end.
	Cause actually I'm smarter than you.
	Yes, we are aware that we don't hear it on our end.
	Thank you, Dave, I appreciate it.
	Because it's interference and we wouldn't hear it.
	So, say, raise up lights, and you've said razor blades in Australian.
	Raise up lights!
	Have you heard that one about if stranger things were said in England?
	No.
	It's a bit odd!
	It's a bit odd, isn't it?
	A bit odd, isn't it?
	I can't do it British.
	A bit odd, isn't it?
	Didn't you work on it?
	You worked on a British accent.
	I watched freaking tutorial videos.
	No, but British accent depends what kind of British accent.
	I sound like a peasant because I want to be a poor British orphan.
	No, I don't.
	What was that story you were telling me today while we were hiking?
	Sorry, just to frame it, we were talking about how sibling relationships are either one of the greatest things in your life or pretty much the worst, but go on.
	Yeah, but it was this video, and the title was Most Average Younger Sibling Experience, and this girl was like, can I get some more food?
	She wanted a refill of her bowl, and the older sibling was like, okay, but you have to ask for it, as if you're a poor British orphan begging for her master or whatever.
	Can I get some more food, please?
	I'm starving!
	I don't know what that is.
	Is that a British person falling from an airplane?
	You know what?
	Yeah, it's you.
	I mimic you because you're the only British person I have currently in my life.
	What is that?
	There's another great meme about the Australian accent, which is a guy being yelled at by his sergeant in the army.
	Have you come here to die?
	And he says, no, I came here yesterday.
	Oh my God.
	Ow.
	All right.
	Let's see here.
	Your dad is literally British.
	No, I am not British.
	Yap, yap, yap.
	I am?
	Where was I born?
	Oh, Africa.
	Oh my goodness.
	That is, you know what?
	That's close enough.
	I'm just going to take it.
	I'm just going to.
	Sorry.
	Sorry.
	I meant Asia.
	Who was born in Africa?
	Your father.
	No.
	Elon Musk.
	Yes.
	But in my family.
	German and Irish.
	Who was born in Africa?
	Mother.
	No.
	My mother's German.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Okay.
	Who was born in Africa?
	South Africa to be precise.
	Your half-sister.
	Yes.
	And?
	Your brother.
	There we go.
	My brother was born in Africa.
	South Africa.
	You were born in Irish.
	Irish cream?
	I was born in a vat of liquor?
	Well, it must be Ireland, so... Yes, I was literally born in Ireland.
	So, literally British?
	Not correct, actually.
	Alright.
	Actually!
	Let's see here.
	Yeah, I'd be such a good 1980s Valley girl.
	Gag me with a spoon.
	Have you tried using that accent at work?
	I have not.
	Ice cream!
	Sorry.
	That's a, I don't know, seizure.
	It's fine.
	Ah, just imagine how many tips I would get.
	Magical.
	One vanilla, and would you like that in a cup or a can?
	I don't even know what that was.
	Hold on.
	That was not a value accent.
	Steph is Irish, mate.
	All right.
	That's correct.
	That is correct.
	I only know how to do an Irish accent because I'm Alice Butler.
	Have you seen this one?
	Oh my gosh.
	Yes.
	Can you do this?
	I can get arrested for saying the wrong thing, but at least I can't hang me trousers on the line.
	So, what happened was a guy wrote, as a Brit, I accept that I don't have American-style freedom of speech, but I do have the freedom to hang my washing up outside, unlike most of you Americans with your homeowner's association rules.
	Or, or get arrested for saying the wrong thing.
	Police are gonna hang me trousers on the loin.
	I like this, the Brit with the teeth.
	Oh, you see the one that's like, hiss hiss, innit, bruv?
	And it's the snake with the crooked teeth.
	Right, right.
	Oh, did we lose that?
	Hang on, where did that go?
	Just destroy the livestream.
	The livestream will return.
	No, it will not.
	It's lost forever in the depths.
	Um... G'day, mate!
	You have a stepsister!
	Half-sister.
	Oh, wait, no, yeah.
	Mine's actually the left half, I think.
	Yeah.
	Um, let's see here.
	Stefan Murphy.
	Yes, that's right.
	Stefan Homoladu!
	Homoladu!
	Have you taught Izzy Cockney rhyming slang yet?
	I'm scared.
	Well, no, she heard some of me do some of Roman from the- Why do you do taught with an H?
	Have you taught?
	Have you taught?
	I have a half-sister.
	Yeah, my father got remarried.
	I'm surprised the lore isn't coming out.
	The lore is coming out.
	Now, Izzy, I just... I know that this is tough for you, but I'm sorry that people just aren't tipping.
	And that's because... It's because I'm not on camera!
	That's because you're not on camera.
	I'm very, very sorry that people aren't tipping for the wonderful contributions you're having to the show.
	I've literally just yapped.
	I'm just going to hold you so you don't feel so bad.
	All right.
	Okay.
	Maybe if we do more irritating British accents.
	They're all irritating.
	Oh, insults.
	Okay, so we've asked for first jobs.
	Let's ask for worst jobs.
	This.
	Yes.
	Well, your big lesson is those who are competent at stuff get punished by more work.
	Honestly... I'll tip for ice cream.
	Thanks, bro.
	I will give you extra.
	When people tip, I literally put more ice cream!
	No, it's not even that!
	Here's the thing though, okay?
	It's not because they tip, it's because usually the people who tip are friendly.
	So, if you're friendly and chatty, I'll be nice to you back by giving you more ice cream.
	Like, I try and make small talk with everyone who comes because I want them to remember the place, I want to be friendly, and I just, you know, honestly, the more you small talk, the more likely they are to tip.
	But even if they don't, certified yapper, appreciate it!
	I will take my certification and use it to get a new job!
	I'm literally gonna put down my next job resume.
	I am a certified yapper by C2Spark.
	Haha.
	Okay.
	Why did that go Valley Girl?
	C2Spark.
	Okay.
	Thanks, Zimph.
	Thank you.
	Appreciate it.
	I will take it.
	No, I'm kidding.
	But what was I gonna say?
	Oh, yeah.
	So I will make like a small talk and I'll chat with pretty much everyone.
	But it's the people that don't chat that usually don't tip because they're just kind of unfriendly and cold.
	Yeah.
	And look, I mean, obviously, I'm not saying you have to tip.
	If you don't want to tip, you don't have to tip, okay?
	It's ice cream.
	It's not like I'm a waitress or something at, like, a complicated restaurant memorizing orders.
	I literally have a notepad.
	And, like, it's not that serious.
	If you don't tip, I'm not upset with you.
	But if you're friendly, if you're unfriendly, that's what I don't like.
	Just be friendly, you know?
	You don't have to be a great... Maybe you're shy, but just smile and say thanks and please.
	Like, it's not that hard, okay?
	We're Canadian.
	You're supposed to be like this.
	But, like, what annoys me the most is when someone will say, oh, I'll take three cones.
	Okay.
	Are you missing a few steps with your order?
	Maybe the flavor?
	The size?
	Whether you want toppings?
	But you don't say it in that sarcastic tone, do you?
	No, I'll be like, uh, okay, what flavors would you like for those?
	Can you narrow it down a little, please?
	I've got 24 flavors in there!
	You know, next time they do that, I'm literally just going to charge them, like, $4 and give them three cones.
	Exactly.
	Like, sorry.
	Exactly.
	Uh, why not?
	It's all for sale.
	Great.
	Tents rigged, Olympus.
	Worst job, Sub Shop.
	What's wrong?
	I wanted to work at a Subway.
	I applied there like twice.
	Um, what was I going to say?
	I was going to say something.
	I send a tip on a website with a message.
	Why, thank you very much.
	Most kind.
	Thanks for the ice cream, Izzy.
	Oh, appreciate it.
	All right.
	Very nice.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	How about send some through Amazon?
	Maybe they just want the cone.
	No, but the thing is, if I say just three cones, they'll be like, yeah.
	And then if I ask what flavor they want, they'll be like, no.
	Sorry, they won't be no, but if they only wanted the cones, they'd just say, no, I just want the cones.
	But we don't just sell the cones without the ice cream.
	If you want three waffle cones, we can do that because they're a dollar.
	But the reason they're a dollar is because we put more ice cream in them, because they're bigger.
	Which I literally have to explain every time someone orders it, because they'll say, that's a dollar extra, is that okay?
	And they're like, why?
	So usually I just start off by saying, okay, well, they're bigger and sweeter, but since they're bigger, we put like half a scoop or a scoop extra ice cream in them, even for whatever size you get.
	Is that okay?
	Because it'll be a dollar extra, like that kind of thing.
	And because they can't, I don't know, anyways.
	I wanted to mention something a little bit too, so we're just going to do Izzy and me, too bad, love it.
	We had two instances of pretty bad service today.
	Oh my God!
	Yes, this is adding on to what Zymph is saying.
	You want to read that?
	I just hate when I go into a place looking to conduct business and the service person at the counter acts like I completely ruined their day for wanting to buy something.
	I am with you.
	That's why whenever someone comes, I'm friendly.
	Hi, how are you?
	If I'm busy, I'll be like, I have to make three more ice creams, but I'll be with you in just a second.
	Why don't you decide?
	Let me know if you want any samples while I make them.
	Little communication.
	Yeah.
	I just chat with them and I'll be like, you know what?
	I'll be two minutes.
	Is that okay?
	And I'll say, if you want anything from the cafe, they're not busy right now.
	You can come back when I'm done.
	It's that kind of thing.
	But we went into a restaurant today because we wanted to get lunch and.
	Let's talk about our day because it was a fun day.
	Okay.
	So we got up and we threw some planes.
	Yes, because we got- I got them from the dollar store.
	They made them a dollar extra since I was last there, like two years ago.
	Now it's a two dollar store.
	So we threw some planes, and then just before my arm left its socket, because I have this weird belief that throwing it harder makes it go better, they're just like polystyrene planes.
	So then we went for a- No, they're full airplanes, and you can put 50 to 60 people on them.
	We went for a river walk, and I'm not sure people would really understand that.
	We're good to go.
	You take a walk until you can find a creek.
	So usually it's a bit of a ways, but this one's pretty close to like the entrance of the trail.
	And then you go into the creek and you just basically hunt for critters.
	You might find frogs, turtles.
	We found ducks and ducklings today, which was really cool.
	That was very cool.
	She just had two ducklings, but they were very cute.
	Um, and this one actually had a big island in the middle.
	Yes.
	Um, it was a really, really wide river, but it's shallow.
	It's usually knee deep at most.
	And you can look, and when it's shallow, especially like if it's only foot deep, um, or there's like rocks that you can kind of stand on because they're big, you flip little rocks and look for crayfish.
	Yes.
	Or small fish that just kind of sit there.
	It's really fun.
	It sounds like it might be boring, but it's actually really- No, it's really cool.
	And Izzy- His first two today.
	First two crayfish.
	I have mostly been observing and filming Izzy because they kind of give me a little bit of the ick.
	Because they're like interdimensional lobster travelers from the future.
	AKA lobsters.
	That's true.
	But only when I don't think of them as giant sea cockroaches.
	I do help you with that.
	I just have to put that out of my head.
	Hey, how do you like your sea cockroach?
	But anyway, so Izzy was very patient, I would say, as I repeatedly screamed.
	When I first started, I was kind of skittish with it, too.
	I just don't have any fear anymore.
	And I just accept it when they pinch my fingers into blood nowadays.
	So I was able to catch those, which was great.
	And then we walked around and we ended up walking on a trail for dirt bikes, which is really cool.
	They had a picnic table set up as like a jump, like they build it up to the sides of earth.
	So at the top of it, you went over.
	We thought it was like, oh, someone eats here.
	And you were like, the ground is swallowing it up.
	And I'm like, no, it's a dirt jump.
	Like, it was really funny.
	So I don't know let's do a tiny bit of backstory so I have realized that the best way for me to avoid a mid afternoon lull in energy is not to eat much if any.
	I don't think people can see that so they just fascinated by my tales of eating.
	So, I don't eat sort of till later in the day, but then I get kind of hungry.
	So, we were kind of hungry, we looked for a place.
	First place we went to, we wanted an all-day breakfast.
	The first place we went to was like, we have a special.
	Eggs special, but it was EGS.
	I don't know if you noticed that on the board.
	And so there was this guy behind the counter and I'm like, what is your egg special?
	And he basically said, oh, it's traditional Ethiopian food.
	Now I don't, I can be a little bit adventurous with eating, but honestly, I just wanted some bacon and eggs.
	My adventurous eating is Panda Express.
	Okay.
	That's as far as I'm going to go.
	That's right.
	I want to be glazed in MSG.
	And also we're going to get into the oily face phenomenon, but so bookmark that in your brain.
	So we left there.
	We went to another place.
	What was wrong with the second place?
	The second place was- It was closed.
	No, the four other places- No, it was the Peter Pit.
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	So the Peter Pit.
	So we went into the Peter Pit.
	Yeah.
	And we're just standing by the cash register.
	We're just standing by the cash register.
	There's three other people in the entire restaurant.
	One of them's already eating, and the other two are sitting at their chair waiting for their order to be called out.
	And we were there probably five or seven minutes.
	Ten minutes.
	Ten minutes.
	Genuinely ten minutes.
	Nobody greeted us.
	Nobody said just a moment.
	We had no idea what was going on.
	Didn't even look at us.
	Didn't even look at us.
	There was no one else there and we were talking loudly so they obviously knew we were at the counter.
	We'd even brought, like took drinks out of the freezer, or the fridge I mean, to pay and like it was absolutely ridiculous.
	Right.
	So anyway, after a certain amount of time, I'm just like, I'm not subsidizing a business.
	This is just badly run.
	I get so irritated because.
	Well now in particular you, right?
	Yeah, because I mean, for me working again, as I said before, if I'm busy, like sometimes people will order.
	I had some guy came up and he's like, okay, so I'll take some ice creams.
	And I'm like, how many?
	He's like, uh, 10.
	I'm like, and then I'm like, oh, 10.
	It's like, yeah, six doubles, four singles and one hot dog.
	And can you mix flavors for the doubles?
	Wait, that's 11.
	No, one hot dog.
	Oh, hot dog.
	Sorry.
	Yeah.
	And he's like, can you mix flavors for the doubles?
	And I'm like, yeah.
	And he's like, okay, so.
	But please don't.
	I'm like, can you write six doubles and then four single?
	I'm like, yeah.
	And then we, it took like probably five to 10 minutes to get his order because he kept changing it because his friends were coming like, no, I don't want mango.
	Actually, can I take pistachio almond?
	Like it was a whole bunch, it was a mess, but we got the order.
	So then the next customer came and they'd been waiting forever in the line too.
	And I was like, Hey, I'm really sorry.
	If you don't mind waiting a minute, you know, maybe pick your flavors.
	If you want to try any samples, let me know.
	But I have 10 ice creams I've got to make and I'm by myself.
	Yep.
	So I'll be with you in just a minute.
	Like maybe more than a minute, but I was just friendly and I was like, look, I'm going to be a minute.
	Yep, it happens.
	Like this place wasn't even busy.
	Like two people waiting for their food.
	And yes, I know there's online ordering, but like... At least say something.
	At least say, yeah, I've got some online orders, but I'll be with you.
	And she wasn't even moving quick.
	She was like meandering around.
	No, it was like when we were at that park, the fun park.
	The fun spot?
	And it was slow motion.
	Everything was just slow motion.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Everybody's moving slowly.
	Oh my God.
	Well, it's also partly because it was, I think it was during, like, just at the end of the restrictions.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And they were just, it was like some roller coaster.
	Yeah.
	And they were taking forever to clean it.
	And it's like, just meandering.
	Oh gosh.
	Hurry up!
	Oh, that was a voice call.
	So, so that we left there and then we, um, we got some lunch, which was fine.
	And then we went to Starbucks and that was slow.
	Holy crap.
	I mean, she really didn't seem to understand my order at all.
	Because you were making zero sense.
	You were yapping about.
	It was just slow.
	That's really what I'm saying.
	It was him.
	He was saying about the, um, like.
	The Nitro Cold Brew wasn't available much, and last time they went there... Hold on, you're gonna tell it from an extremely biased opinion, so you're not... No.
	Silent Spell.
	I'm kidding.
	Has been cast.
	I'm kidding.
	But no, so he likes his Nitro Cold Brew addiction, but it wasn't available last time at that Starbucks.
	And, um, yeah, wandering into money laundering screams, very accurate.
	But we were at the Starbucks and last time the machine was down, basically a McDonald's at this point, but this time we went back and he was like, last time, you know, this is really going to determine, but he was talking so slow.
	He was like, this is really going to determine the rest of my day.
	No, no, that's not how it started.
	I said there are times when a man gets to a fork in the road, which leads either to joy or misery and potentially arson.
	And it really hinges on whether or not you have nitro-coal-brews available for me at this moment.
	And I think it went on for another five to ten minutes with a lot of military acronyms, if I remember rightly.
	Okay.
	But she followed it.
	No.
	She absolutely followed it.
	And then I said to her, and she said, well, nitro cold brew, it kind of feels like a grumpy drink.
	And I'm like, that's what she said.
	Did she?
	Yes, if you were listening.
	And I said, no, he's wondering if you have it.
	And she goes, oh.
	I thought I was pretty clear.
	No, you were not.
	It was clear for you, wasn't it?
	Because you'd yapped the entire way down there about, oh, I really hope they have it.
	Really hope they have it.
	What if they don't have it?
	What if they have it?
	Yes, but anyway, they had it and all was well.
	It was so nice.
	It was so nice.
	But yeah, I thought she was just confused because she was waiting for the point of the story, which is, I would like a Nitro Cold Brew, please.
	That's what I was just like, he'd like a Nitro Cold Brew.
	That's right, that's right.
	And we don't do McDonald's, sorry, we don't, oh, we don't do Starbucks very much.
	No, because they don't usually have Nitro Cold Brew.
	Their Nitro Cold Brew is really something quite special.
	It's literally cocaine.
	You know, I looked up how much caffeine it has in it.
	A lot.
	It's really not small.
	No.
	The nitro does something to it.
	And then you don't let me drink Celsius.
	So here's the thing.
	So we have a little soda maker at home.
	If I do that to my coffees, I assume that the CO2 will also enhance the caffeine and all will be well.
	I can do carbonated nitro cold brews at home.
	Okay, you tree.
	Okay, there was something really funny, though.
	So my coworker at Ice Cream, she's kind of in cafe training, but not in the same amount that I am.
	Like, I have some really long shifts later, I mentioned earlier.
	But she'll go in like once every week or two, which is a terrible training thing.
	Okay, I see there's some new hires coming in at the end of this month because most people are leaving for college, but they have like five days in a row and then a few day break and then another five days in a row of training because if it's two weeks apart, how the heck are you supposed to remember anything?
	Right?
	Right.
	They teach me how to make this complicated drink with like 10 different steps and then two weeks later they're like, oh, can you make the Spanish latte?
	And I'm like, guys, it's been two weeks.
	I don't remember anything.
	And this one girl wouldn't let me take notes.
	I said, can I take notes?
	And she's like, no.
	No, Spanish latte's easy.
	Just give them a latte and say, Ole!
	Something like that.
	Okay.
	That would be perfect.
	That's great.
	Oh, can you give me an actually voice, please?
	Actually, then it's carbonated, not nitro-grenaded.
	Nitro-grenaded?
	What do you read there?
	Nitrogenated.
	Right.
	Okay.
	That's probably better than grenaded.
	Actually, I think that's better than grenaded.
	Latter-day Saint Christians don't drink hot drinks or cold versions of the same.
	Okay.
	Is that another actually?
	Actually.
	Well, Jess is not actually a Latter-day Saint Christian.
	Right.
	Former night saint, maybe.
	Oh yeah.
	Anyways, this was the story.
	So my coworker goes to the cafe and they, while she's in there, she's waiting for food because we don't have breaks.
	So basically whenever it's not super busy, one of us will go, okay, you know what?
	I can take orders and scoop the ice cream.
	Fortunately now we are, I actually got a different coworker or another coworker after like a month by myself, which was not fun, but she's super nice.
	As I said before, but anyways, she, um,
	She was gonna go order for the both of us from the cafe.
	Yeah.
	And she goes there and she's taking forever and she comes back with like a little one of those shots, like espresso shot little cups, like the little ones.
	Yeah.
	And it's a little like a cardboard cup or whatever.
	Yeah.
	You know what I'm talking about.
	Yep.
	And she comes back and I'm like, oh, what's this?
	And she's like, they made me make this.
	And I'm like, oh, she's like, but I have another little cup.
	And I'm like, oh, was it not for a customer or did you like mess it up?
	And she's like, no, no, no.
	Like they just said, make this.
	And there's no customer who wants it.
	Right.
	They're just showing me.
	It's a double shot of espresso.
	So obviously what we do is we split it into the two little shot cups and we clink it together, say cheers and drink it.
	Absolutely disgusting.
	Actually foul.
	These things are like molten, like sulfur, like ew.
	Right, right.
	But anyways, it was very funny.
	Well, and I would say, Izzy, as a whole, we may have slightly different opinions about the joy that I bring to service workers.
	I think it's huge joy- I think people at the cafe near our house are actually scared of you.
	I loom up and I bring joy to their lives.
	There's this one guy, we know people like you in the cafe, but- Don't focus on the question, finish the story.
	I'm reading it.
	Okay, I'm sorry, you're telling me to finish the story?
	Izzy, it's important to stay focused.
	Yeah, actually, it's important to stay focused.
	All right, go, go.
	Free domain, donate now, accept nitrogen tax.
	What kind of absolute psycho would pour their milk before their cereal?
	Look, I don't personally have a huge opinion about this one.
	Don't get me started on caramel versus caramel.
	Or laboratory versus laboratory?
	I don't care either way for those ones.
	But no, for cereal, I don't really have a question about it.
	I think people that pour the milk before the cereal just do it to be different and trendy.
	Because you get floater so you don't even know if it's all cereal.
	It's just on the top.
	Yeah, so like, anyone who does that is just doing it because it became a joke.
	Okay?
	Right.
	Or they accidentally, like, they had a bunch of cereals to make and they're like, I'm just gonna pour the milk in first or whatever.
	Yeah, what's wrong with you?
	Why do you do that?
	The refilling the cereal?
	No, just drink the milk.
	Wait, wait, always milk first.
	So when you do live streams, you got to read the question.
	No, I don't.
	Always milk first because I refill the cereal like six times.
	Okay, just drink the milk at the end because then you're hydrated.
	You do that.
	What are you going... You do that.
	Do what?
	You refill your cereal.
	Well, if there's extra milk, yeah.
	Okay.
	Because I'm there to eat, not to drink.
	So, let's see here.
	Oh yes, was there another question that I see?
	I just want to double check over here.
	Any other last questions?
	Hi Izzy, I got a big question for you.
	Out of all the things you most want to do in life, what is the last thing you'd give up on?
	Family time.
	Oh, gosh.
	What is the last thing you'd give up?
	Honestly, probably getting married and having kids.
	I do kind of, you know, want to continue the bloodline.
	Right, right.
	And living in the country, farm, ducks?
	You would give up on that?
	I like it a lot, and I'd probably do it at some point in my life.
	Yeah.
	But it's not, like, I'd much like to do it first.
	But I mean, it really depends.
	Right.
	But yeah, I think marriage and kids.
	I would give up on that if my life was somehow better in a different way.
	Right, right.
	Okay.
	Yeah, but crazy sociopath.
	Yeah, I'd say, honestly, psychopath.
	Maybe, like, bipolar disorder.
	That's the kind of thing.
	Nice.
	All right.
	Let's see if there are any other last questions over here.
	All right.
	Coles or Sears without the history?
	That may be a little specialized.
	Peace, oh, knowledge.
	All right.
	Any other last questions for Daiz?
	Wow, Stefan is here available in China without a VPA.
	See you in China!
	Get out, bro!
	Is Stef a good duck doctor or just a quack?
	Oh, quack is a slang for a bad doctor.
	No, he's a... Well, you've treated a couple of issues with ducks.
	Bumblefoot?
	Angel wing?
	Okay, I... Yeah, so... Excellent.
	Hold on, my bad Wi-Fi.
	Okay.
	So bumblefoot, it's a thing basically when your ducks, if they step on something sharp and they get like a sliver or a cut on their foot and then it gets infected because they walk around in like a lot of, um, I don't know, poop and stuff like that.
	Right.
	So, um, basically it's called bumblefoot because their foot will swell up in the areas that are injured.
	And there's a lot of places on the internet when I first looked it up that said, oh yeah, your duck will be dead in like two days.
	And so when we saw it, we kind of freaked out.
	Well, yeah, I was like freaking out and I'm like, I will pay the extra 20 bucks on Amazon to get that thing shipped earlier, right?
	Like the medicine.
	She was literally completely fine.
	The thing she was most bothered about was probably wearing that like dumb shoe.
	We had this blue shoe for her.
	Well, we didn't want it to keep getting infected, right?
	Yeah.
	So we took it out.
	We took it off when she swam and she got so upset.
	She was such a sweet duck.
	Her name was Donut.
	Our favorite.
	My favorite, I didn't care.
	I didn't care?
	You didn't know her name for the first year of her life.
	I cared about her because every time I saw her, I got hungry.
	Okay.
	Cause donut.
	You liked Magpie because he was the only boy who also had no IQ, just completely unrelated.
	Okay, but Magpie's lack of intelligence has been more than compensated by Sonny's genius.
	Sonny is our new genius.
	Brilliant.
	He's absolute.
	He is actually, I'm not sure.
	Does not understand how to walk upstairs.
	He doesn't know, we have like a little patio screen door in the back and we have some four stairs.
	Yep.
	They're short stairs, like they're not like the big stairs.
	They're like, like this much, this steep.
	Yeah.
	This steep.
	He can't, he doesn't figure, he doesn't know how to walk up them.
	No.
	He just kind of paces.
	And then he got stuck on top of a, like a container where I keep my like tadpoles.
	He got stuck on it.
	He didn't know how to get down.
	Yeah.
	Jump, it's like half a foot.
	We open the door to the coop, and the girls all come out no problem, and half the time he's just like panicking because he doesn't know where the door is.
	But he is very pretty.
	He's a stunning duck.
	He's very pretty.
	He's got this really creamy white, it's like creamy white, it's not white white.
	Oh yeah, he's like a swan.
	He's got these brown feathers.
	Oh, he's huge too.
	Oh yeah, he's like a goose.
	I had to pick him up once because he couldn't get out of the coop.
	He's like 20 pounds, like he's giant.
	Absolutely lovely.
	A beautiful duck.
	A real himbo.
	Yes, I do know the scary duck story.
	It's not a secret.
	You were late?
	You were late because you didn't know where the ducks went.
	Who?
	Arlo the Duck.
	Honestly!
	Oh, Arlo the Duck.
	Oh, very good.
	Good reference to my novel, The Present, available at freedomain.com.
	They're like the sponsors in YouTube.
	No, I'm kidding.
	Okay, hold on.
	Arlo the Duck.
	No, not Arlo.
	His sister, Penny.
	Penny was originally Pablo, because I thought it was a boy, and I thought Pablo was hilarious.
	We also had Rico and Pedro, who are also girls!
	And the only one we gave a feminine name was the bo-
	They were all quite confused and we did not get their pronouns very early on.
	Oh, it takes a while with Muscovies.
	But OK, so the the female ducks, Penny, she's super sweet.
	Her real name's Penelope.
	We just call her Penny because it's easier.
	But she's genius.
	So my mom was cutting up a watermelon earlier today and she does the one where she cuts up the rinds, like she cuts it and then she takes the flesh of the watermelon out.
	And we were just left with the rinds.
	It's a little pink stuff at the bottom.
	There's a bit of pink on the rinds and the ducks will usually give that to the ducks because they really like watermelon.
	Like every duck we've had, it's just a love watermelon.
	So I go out and they have a little swimming area, like a tiny, tiny little pond.
	And so I have two watermelon rinds and I put them in and they float, but face down.
	Piper, Bandit, and Sunny are all trying to flip it over and struggling with it.
	Penny stands there and she's just chirping at me, like squeaking, because she doesn't really chirp, she just has this weird little squeak.
	And she...
	She keeps chirping at me and then I move over, there's like a little rock you can stand on.
	I go to the rock because I'm like, what does she want?
	She pushes from like across the pond, she pushes the watermelon to me for me to flip it over and hold it out for her to eat.
	Amazing.
	Like I've never seen a duck, I didn't even know they were smart enough to do that.
	I know of a duck online who can like sit and knows its name and stuff like that.
	But like, I was like shocked and I'm like, maybe that was a mistake?
	So I move it away and she does it again.
	I was shocked cuz like I knew she was smart.
	I know the girls Bandit and Penny are smart.
	Yeah, but like dang that's smart She also has figured out how to open her coop door.
	So like the inside a little latch.
	That's just big enough for them Yeah, she can pull it open.
	Yeah, I like press pull it open with her be wild.
	She's like a parrot.
	Okay, like she's smart right, um so
	Yeah, it was, um, there was another question.
	Oh, are ducks or geese more likely to violate the NAP?
	It's mostly gone.
	This wrist, I have- Can you still hang on, hold it up because, yeah, you can see a little bit of scar here, right?
	I have a bite mark and it's, this was like two weeks ago.
	Sonny bites!
	He's mean!
	Piper bites too, but Penny and Bandit are sweet.
	But Piper bites everyone.
	Piper bites the other girls.
	I've seen Piper just attacking Penny.
	Penny's like dead bottom in the pecking order.
	She's also attacked Sunny, I think, which is strange.
	Piper is the top of the pecking order despite being a small girl.
	Like tiny, like this big.
	But she, um...
	Yeah, she bites, and Sonny bites.
	Do you have your phone?
	Can you show a picture?
	We can hold it up to the camera.
	Hold on, there was another question, I think.
	Sorry, so our ducks, or it depends, if you're going to include Canada geese, Canada geese are banded-faced Satan birds.
	I will literally be on a pathway, walk past them, and I start getting hissed at, and they bow their head at me, and... Oh yeah, so what is Sonny's duckhood like?
	Maybe you should have Colin.
	His childhood?
	That's nice.
	They love each other.
	He's such a happy guy.
	We gave him treats all the time.
	We sat with him.
	Right.
	Okay, here.
	Can I hold that?
	Yeah.
	I'll just hold that up.
	So this here is top to bottom, if you can go.
	I can't top?
	Here.
	Okay.
	We're going to go bottom to top.
	Bottom to top.
	So Piper, mean, mean Piper.
	Next to her is Bandit with the black head.
	Then next to Bandit is Sunny, the absolutely giant duck.
	He's grown a lot since this picture.
	Where is the girl's hubbin?
	And then in the very back, you can just see him past Sunny or her.
	That's Penny.
	Right.
	Do the screens go?
	Yeah.
	No.
	Can you get, is there any other views?
	I can get a, uh, a better picture of each of them.
	We can even do video if we want.
	Uh, no.
	Uh, Cobra Chickens.
	Bandit Face Satan Birds.
	Yeah, that was a quite, quite a good turn of phrase.
	Here is Penny, or sorry, uh, Bandit.
	It's the black one.
	Penny's the, or sorry, Sunny.
	Oh my gosh, Sunny is the white one.
	My brain is just not working right now.
	We do not eat ducks.
	Look, I would definitely, I'm not like one of those people who is opposed to eating animals.
	Wait, wait, do the birds.
	What?
	Do the birds up here.
	What birds?
	These.
	Wait, I'm lost.
	Did we finish with them?
	Oh, it's just the two, right?
	Oh, sorry, I thought there was more than that.
	No, no.
	Okay.
	I'll get the other two.
	Here are the other two.
	They're very similar looking.
	This is like a two-headed bird.
	No, it's the Japanese thing, the yin yang.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So the one closer to the camera whose back is facing us, that's Piper.
	You can't see it very well, but Penny has like a gray and black, uh, back and she's the one facing away or facing towards with her chest.
	But, okay.
	Sorry.
	The question, we also eat ducks.
	I don't, I've never eaten duck.
	It seems kind of like fatty and I'm not a huge fan of like super fatty foods.
	I just find the taste like kind of gross.
	But, um, I am not one of those people who's like, oh, I have a duck.
	No one can eat ducks.
	That's evil.
	Okay.
	Ducks are a good food.
	I know some people really like the fatty, like kind of meat.
	They're raised for that, right?
	They were raised, they used to be chickens, basically.
	What I mean by that is they used to be like, everyone would eat duck eggs and duck meat and stuff like that.
	But then basically people were like, oh, chickens are way easier to take care of.
	They're way less messy.
	So let's switch to chickens.
	And they were actually called hookbill, hookbill ducks, and they're almost extinct now.
	Sorry, can we just get one more actually?
	Oh, Korean, sorry, sorry.
	No, but can you just give me an actually voice?
	Actually, yin and yang is Korean.
	Nice.
	All birds are angry, they resent the fall of the dinosaurs, but geese are particularly resentful, aggressively so.
	Yeah.
	Although swans can be pretty aggressive too.
	I've never had too many issues with swans.
	Wow.
	But, I mean, I guess they just don't mind me.
	Bandit looks pretty good, but it's hard to beat a duck called Penny.
	Bandit's a very pretty duck.
	She's got some iridescent feathers.
	And Piper just has one iridescent feather on her back, and the rest of her back is like a creamy white.
	Yeah, this is Penny.
	Or sorry, this is Sunny.
	He's biting my camera.
	It's a great picture.
	Okay.
	Do not be too alarmed, but that is Sonny.
	Right before, Izzy used to have, I don't know, was it four or five other siblings?
	Yeah.
	And they all basically- That's the guy that did my arm.
	I was literally feeding him.
	You may remember that with the Jaws theme.
	So one last one.
	Yeah.
	The one like standing up whose body is in the picture.
	I'm just zooming in a tiny bit.
	Is that right?
	Yeah.
	That's Penny.
	That's the extremely intelligent duck we have.
	And they're all Muscovy ducks.
	They're about two months old.
	Yep.
	Two months.
	So they've grown crazy fast.
	Yeah.
	I actually, when I, when we first got them, I didn't think... Didn't know there were going to be jump scares this stream.
	Oh, because of the biting thing, right?
	That's a cool pic.
	Yeah.
	We should make a t-shirt of that.
	Oh, I have so many of them.
	They just, he just absolutely attacks my camera.
	He hates it.
	Oh, this is a cute one.
	Hold on.
	This is, uh... These are, oh, this is the only picture she has of ducks, really.
	I have way too many.
	This is a cute one of Penny.
	She's just looking at the camera.
	Sorry, how did you pronounce that?
	Penny!
	Penny!
	It doesn't just affect teenage boys.
	No, my voice cracks when I'm going away.
	It's been like two years.
	Anyways, I'm going to keep yapping about the ducks, but if you want to talk about anything else, I'll get to it.
	Well, right, right, right.
	Is there another one?
	Can I show this one or no?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Oh, I don't know.
	Are you ready for the jumpscare?
	Bump!
	That's Piper!
	Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
	That's an old album from Pink Floyd.
	Okay.
	Are you sent off a singing audition?
	Oh, you're sending it off.
	I'm sending it off.
	I'm auditioning for a play in my homeschooling group this year.
	How many ducks do you have?
	Four!
	Four.
	We were aiming for three.
	We promised mom three!
	We went there and there was a miscommunication.
	She's like, you said four, right?
	And I'm like, oh?
	And we said no, three.
	Three, and she's like, oh, well, I already separated them from their mother.
	And I don't know which one should go back to who.
	I don't know which mother it is, and I'm like, okay.
	We're like, fine, an extra duck.
	I didn't think Bandit was going to make it.
	When we first got her, she was looking pretty rough, just like head down, not doing, but I kind of just gave her, put food in her mouth and she kind of dealt with it.
	We, it's funny because if we had not gotten one, then we might not have the male.
	Because one male to three females is a good ratio, right?
	Well, it's usually one to four.
	Is it one to four?
	Okay.
	He's kind of aggressive, but I don't think he's actually started mating yet.
	Right.
	Or as we referred to it in the past, they're dancing.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Um, any, I'm just going to ask any last questions.
	Any other good photos, Blair?
	I'm trying to find, I have one of this epic frog.
	This frog?
	Don't zoom.
	It's perfect.
	Okay.
	I caught this giant frog.
	He's absolutely massive.
	He was a little alarming.
	I named him Gorbo.
	It should be Gorlock.
	Gorlock!
	What?
	Little old lady.
	I'm auditioning for Alice in Wonderland.
	I want to be the Queen of Hearts.
	I don't know if I'll get it.
	And it's a musical.
	So, yay!
	Sing it away.
	All right.
	I have to do a monologue.
	I think I'll do something from Glass Menagerie.
	Do a monologue.
	Don't do stuff in stereo.
	Mono is the way to go.
	Here's the thing.
	The audio audition for the singing is supposed to be... 16 bars.
	30 seconds, specifically.
	I got 49.
	I mean, when Izzy said 16 bars, I thought it was going to be an audition for an Irish musical, but drinking a lot.
	Gosh, I wish.
	All right.
	Do you plan to expand your poultry army... Army?
	With chickens or quail?
	Honestly, I love quail.
	They're so cute.
	They're little guys, right?
	I love quail, yeah.
	But I can't say I love chickens.
	I think chickens are basically just sunny.
	They're just kind of dull.
	I haven't seen a smart chicken.
	I'm sorry.
	That's fair.
	I haven't heard of a smart chicken.
	That frog looks like Jabba the Hutt's second cousin.
	Break a leg.
	So you know where that comes from, right?
	Yes.
	Go.
	Actually, break a leg means I hope to see you in the cast.
	That's what I meant.
	I knew it was something to do with the cast.
	At least that's one theory.
	I don't think that's what it means.
	Alright, let's see here.
	Any last questions?
	Give them once, give them twice.
	Somebody had a question.
	I thought it was interesting, but it might be a bit complicated, but let's give it a try.
	We can do it.
	Steph Izzy.
	I accepted a job, but another company with a much higher salary came back with an offer.
	Any tips on how to handle it so hopefully I don't burn a bridge?
	I want to go to the higher salary.
	So he got a job at company A. Company B offered him... So he said, I'll take the job at company A, and he's getting all prepared.
	Company B comes along and gives him much more money.
	How does he extract himself from the first... You suck!
	You suck!
	Well, personally, go ahead with your thoughts.
	My brain is empty.
	Brain is empty of this.
	It's a bit of an interesting question.
	For me, it wouldn't exactly be Don't Burn Bridges, but you can just say, look, you know, I've got a better offer.
	If you can match the price, I'd be happy to stay with you.
	That's the answer.
	I have somebody who's willing to pay me a lot more for my time.
	Yeah.
	I apologize.
	You seem like a nice company, but I do have to go with what's going to be better for me, which is the money.
	Yeah.
	Like, you could just say, look, if we'd been working here for years, I'd probably try and negotiate with you about staying or getting more pay or whatever, but we've barely even started.
	I don't have any relations with you.
	Again, seem like a good workforce, but I really have to go with the better pay unless you can match it.
	Or at least come close, because there could be other benefits like a better boss or more opportunities.
	Or maybe a break every couple hours.
	Yeah, no, no, let's not get crazy here.
	I'm not getting into that.
	So it could be that it's a better job, more opportunities for growth.
	It could be a smaller company, which gives you more opportunities to do different kinds of work.
	Could be a better boss.
	So they may not have to match it, but I've got to say, look, this place is offering me 30% more.
	So either that means that they're overpaying or you're underpaying.
	And I'm not sure what the answer is, but you know, all of that.
	So I would say bring the offer to the original company and give them that.
	Uh, that was the most professional speech I've ever heard.
	Oh, well done.
	Thank you.
	See, that's what I have to do.
	And I'm like, Oh, wait, wait.
	I really appreciate it, but I might have to go to a, uh, you know, a different workforce.
	If you guys keep having me go into the garbage.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	All right.
	So we've had another actually moment.
	Somebody's correcting us.
	Actually, I thought Break a Leg was from the 1920s when they were all superstitious that they were fooling the bad luck demons or something.
	So in the theater world, you're only allowed, there's a play called Macbeth, which is a really, really dark play.
	I remember.
	And set in Scotland, of course, Macbeth.
	And I was thinking like,
	So you're never supposed to say the word Macbeth.
	You have to refer to it as a Scottish play.
	And if you do say the word Macbeth, you have to run around the theater three times to break the curse.
	And Macbeth is a curse play.
	That's the one where I had a big sword fight with someone and I swung my sword and it got stuck in the wall.
	It got stuck in the wall.
	So I ended up having to jump him and strangle him to death because I couldn't get my sword out from the wall.
	And then I got stabbed and I was given a blood pack and it was supposed to gently ooze
	Uh, from my hands after I got stabbed, because I played Macbeth.
	But what happened was, I couldn't get it to break, so I kept gripping and gripping until the point where it exploded.
	Like, like somebody... He put extra blood?
	Yeah, he put extra blood, and he just made it too tough to break.
	So it went, and covered like the first three rows in fake blood.
	And, um, unfortunately it turned a little bit, uh, it turned into a comedy.
	But there's really not much we can do at that point.
	That's actually kind of funny.
	So it is a bit of a cursed play, to be honest.
	I phrased that as an I thought, not an actually.
	Actually phrasing doesn't matter for an actually moment.
	Yeah.
	Guys, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry I started this.
	No, I'm sorry.
	We're going to have to actually now from here to eternity.
	Use the higher offer to negotiate duck maternal leave with Company B.
	Sorry, I got ducklings.
	Exactly.
	Sorry, go ahead.
	No, I'm done.
	I'm sorry.
	Done.
	That ended everything.
	My life is over.
	Didn't we see a breakfast place?
	Et cetera.
	A unique experience.
	Experience.
	A unique experience.
	You know what I get irritated at?
	So it says all day breakfast, but it closes at 2 p.m.
	There's like 20 different places I was looking at today.
	It's not all day.
	It's all morning.
	It is all day.
	It's just not at this time zone.
	Somewhere out in the mid-Atlantic.
	Yap, yap, yap.
	There we go.
	All right.
	Going once, going twice, last questions.
	Yes, no, maybe.
	Bargaining with the audience.
	1.52.
	I just, you know, if people are typing.
	Oh, we got typing.
	If people are typing.
	We can cut them off by ending the stream and make them type faster for next time.
	Oh, oh, oh, actually, actually.
	Okay, well, I wasn't looking at Waffle House, was I?
	Zimp.
	Actually, actually, Waffle House has all-day breakfast.
	Did I, did I say Waffle House?
	I said etc.
	Have you seen the Mighty Ducks cartoon?
	I have not.
	Oh, maybe I have.
	I've heard of it.
	It's always morning somewhere else, actually.
	That's the old drinking thing, like it's five o'clock somewhere.
	Oh, American!
	Yeah, you Americans with your tacky Waffle House that I am aware has like graffiti everywhere and the bathrooms with just mysterious liquid everywhere.
	Quack-tually.
	Quack-tually.
	Now, actually, interesting bit of Free Domain trivia, Waffle House was one of the original proposed names that Mom gave for this show.
	Do you mean Yapper House?
	Yapper House.
	Waffle, waffle, waffle.
	IHOP.
	We, I think we have that in Canada.
	International House of Pancakes.
	I was, I can't tell you how disappointed I was when I first went there.
	You thought you'd just get pancakes everywhere, right?
	No.
	It's a house of pancakes.
	Should be made of pancakes.
	Should be made of pancakes.
	I was willing to accept some reinforcement, but it should be mostly made of pancakes and you should actually eat the house.
	Tacky, the liquid may sit a mystery and there's free canvas for unpaid art!
	What?
	What does that mean?
	I said there's mysterious liquid all over the bathroom and a canvas!
	No!
	No, that's bad!
	Bad!
	Oh, I saw this great meme today.
	We're just going to yap for the rest of the show.
	Yeah.
	We saw this great meme today.
	It was Pennywise looking at Ronald McDonald and saying, you're not even scary.
	And he's like, yes, but I've killed way more people than you have.
	Oh gosh, that McDonald's food.
	And I thought Pennywise would be a great name for a duck.
	But we just went with Penny.
	Penelope.
	No, but Penny.
	Pennywise.
	Pennywise the duck.
	Actually, which it makes sense.
	I think Pennywise.
	Go ahead.
	USA.
	USA.
	LOL.
	What's that?
	There's that Trump meme, which is like, uh, I have the best resistance to coronavirus ever.
	I mean, they tested my blood.
	I don't even have DNA.
	I have USA.
	That was actually pretty funny.
	Actually, never feeding the mogwis after midnight.
	Um, it's always after midnight.
	Oh, somewhere.
	Yes.
	But I think it's in the time zone.
	Actually.
	You spelled actually incorrectly.
	Actually.
	Now, what is mogwis?
	Gremlins wiki.
	Oh yeah, yeah, gremlins.
	They have a wiki for- I remember using the word gremlins in one of my plays and my writing teacher literally yelling at me that gremlins is now owned by whatever movie studio made it.
	Like, you can't use that word, it's owned by these guys!
	And it's like, bro.
	Calm down.
	Bro.
	That's like my trainer being like, you can't take notes!
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	At work.
	Alright, can I sing notes?
	Alright.
	What?
	That's what you should have said.
	It's easy.
	It's easy in hindsight.
	I should have, you know, she's leaving at the end of the month.
	I'm not just going to say goodbyes.
	It's like, she's going to come back, right?
	She will now.
	I go from diplomatic in theory.
	Oh, wait.
	So, um, one of the, one of the workers said, you absolutely cannot take notes.
	And the other worker was like, why didn't you take notes?
	Yeah.
	I'm dead serious.
	Yes.
	They told me, I said, oh, can I take notes?
	And she's like, no.
	Like that's, that was her response.
	She's like, you'll get it.
	Like girl, you have a menu going across an entire wall.
	Like, I'm not going to get it.
	Yep.
	Sorry.
	Like, let me take notes.
	She's just, she's one of those people.
	Oh, the other girl says she has a superiority complex.
	Okay.
	Like I'm dead serious.
	I can't speak to that.
	Um, but I will say that the one thing that homeschooling didn't touch on that we really needed to touch on for you was how to turn on or off the hot water.
	Yeah, no, that we should have gone over the diagrams and the... It was my first day in the cafe and I was freaking out because I'm like, these other girls learn pretty quick.
	Like, do I just suck at this?
	I dropped my phone.
	Do I just suck at this or something?
	Like, am I just bad at coffee?
	Turn off the hot water, wasn't it?
	Well, it wasn't that, but I was just having one of those days where I just felt like, wow, I suck at this, right?
	Because she was just like, no, you don't even need to make notes.
	Like, it's that simple.
	And I knew, like, that was a little extreme.
	And I'm like, maybe it is that simple.
	Maybe I'm just dumb, right?
	I mean, I wasn't thinking like that, but you get what I'm saying.
	I'm not getting something obvious is what I'm thinking.
	Yeah, that's kind of how I felt.
	Anyways, this girl was like, this was a different one who's like best friends with the superiority complex girl.
	And she was like, can you turn off the sink?
	Right.
	And I'm like, okay.
	So I run back cause she's doing something and making sandwiches and the other girls at the cash register.
	So I run back and I, I'm moving the taps and nothing's changing.
	Like it gets a little better, a little, like a little stronger, a little weaker.
	I'm like.
	Okay.
	And I said to her, I'm like, this might be the dumbest thing you've ever heard, but how do I turn off the sink?
	And she's like, oh, and she's like, there's a thing on, there's a nozzle under the sink.
	And I'm like, under?
	A nozzle?
	Like a turny thing?
	A turn, like a nozzle she called it.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Like a lever or something.
	She said nozzle.
	Okay.
	And I opened the sink, like the drawer underneath and behind a bunch of cleaning supplies is a little like a thing that you turn like that.
	Yeah, a crank.
	It's hot too, because it's been pumping out hot water.
	It's really hot.
	Evolve!
	Yeah, well, she said nozzle, but it's a ball.
	He knows what he's saying.
	A nozzle is for focused water.
	I know.
	She said nozzle.
	I don't know.
	She's just yapping.
	She's one of those people.
	But, like, then I turn it and the hot water goes off.
	Why don't you tell me that?
	I've never been to the cafe before!
	I have a suspicion that your trainer didn't want you to take notes, because if you said something wrong, if she said something wrong, you'd have notes to correct her.
	I think that's pretty true.
	I think that's it.
	But then my other co-worker was like, oh yeah, you didn't take notes?
	And I'm like, no.
	Why wouldn't you take notes?
	I guess an ex told me not to or whatever, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	And she's like, oh, here, let me write some stuff out for you.
	And she actually literally grabs a piece of paper and is like, here's how you make this, here's how you make this, here's how you make this.
	Right, right.
	Here's some general stuff.
	You've got to clean it after every time you make it.
	And it's like, OK, thanks.
	Right, right.
	Uh, Mad Cheesiest, we did answer your question.
	I'm so sorry that you weren't paying attention.
	Uh, this is the one, what would you, what's the last thing you'd give up on in marriage and kids, right?
	If you didn't listen.
	No, I'm kidding.
	Yeah.
	If you didn't listen.
	Actually, I think that was the first.
	He, he might've gone to bed with Mr. Portugal.
	Um, all right.
	Let's see here.
	No, the thing is they're not even dumb.
	No, they're very smart.
	They're actually like these two, this one girl that was training me, I genuinely think she's quite smart.
	She just has zero empathy.
	So, as Zim says, that sounds like an accurate assessment.
	Shady people don't want to be held accountable and avoid records, written or otherwise.
	But the weird thing is, and I actually noticed this when it was Sunny, she does not cast a shadow.
	What?
	No shadow.
	Oh, she just doesn't exist.
	I think she's a figment of our collective imagination.
	Yeah, but like, she's smart, too.
	Yeah, they're all very smart.
	Yeah, for sure.
	She's very quick.
	You know, I ask her a question or I make a joke, she gets it.
	Like, she's smart, but she's just rude.
	Well, it reminds me of a story that I've told probably only 19 or 20 times on the show.
	Let's make it 20 or 21, shall we?
	Any more with me?
	Sorry?
	Any more times with me?
	Oh, gosh, no.
	These guys get the very much filtered... My dad will do a three hour show, and then he'll come down and tell us about it in 10 minutes to get the whole gist of it across.
	And I'm like, well, what were you doing down there then?
	It's just a blur.
	What can I tell you?
	It's a big blur.
	So when I, I've told you this story, but I worked at a hardware store and it was my first week.
	Oh yeah.
	And I say to the guy like, where are the Crescent wrenches?
	He's like, aisle seven.
	Why did you know that by now?
	And I'm like, cause it's my first week and it's a big store.
	There's, you know, 6,000 aisles and all of this kind of thing.
	Right.
	I mean, it wasn't as big as like Home Depot, but it was bigger than the Home Heart where we normally go to.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, so this guy was just annoying and superior, and so I think it was about ten years later, I happened to be back at the same hardware store and he was still working there.
	Yep.
	Alright.
	Reflection in the mirror.
	Coactually at 23?
	What does that mean?
	I don't know!
	What does that mean?
	23 coffees on the menu that I can't take notes for?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	You see, create the recipe book for the cafe.
	Oh my gosh!
	This gets me at another thing!
	So, this other girl, the owner, comes in and she's like, oh no, don't make notes.
	We have a recipe book for everything.
	And I'm like, oh, you do?
	That's an instruction manual.
	Anyways, I come back the next day.
	She's like, I'll bring it tomorrow.
	And I text her, I'm like, hey, don't forget to bring the book.
	And she's like, yeah, yeah.
	Anyway, she doesn't bring the book.
	I ask, oh, did you bring the book?
	And she's like, oh, I forgot.
	And then...
	She, uh, she comes in and she's, it's the day after, it's on the Saturday when I'm working ice cream, and my co-worker comes in later, which is ridiculous, okay?
	It's really busy in the morning, she comes in in the evening when it gets slow.
	And it's the same thing, like we swap shifts, so I get the seven hours, she gets the five hour, and then I get the five hour, she gets the seven hour.
	It's like a swap, right?
	Yeah.
	Anyway, she comes in and the my owner comes in or my owner, but the boss comes in and she says, oh, here's the book.
	And it's a book on the history of coffee.
	Here's how you say espresso in Italian.
	And, you know, this was made in 1874.
	This is the origin.
	This is who came up with it.
	And there's drinks that we don't even sell at the cafe.
	What is a ricotta or something like that?
	I don't even remember.
	We don't sell like a ricotta.
	I don't even know.
	I don't know.
	It's a kind of cheese, isn't it?
	Ricotta?
	Ricotta's a kind of cheese.
	That sounds like a terracotta from Minecraft.
	I don't even know.
	It's some art thing.
	Anyways, I waited to read it until my coworker came in, and we were just laughing our heads off over this.
	Because I'm like, oh, she brought in the book for the cafe things.
	And I'm like, here, why don't I read it out loud?
	Because it was slow.
	We had no customers.
	It was like raining.
	And I'm like, OK.
	And I'm reading it.
	And she's like, is this the introduction?
	I'm like, no, no, we skipped the introduction.
	And she's like, what?
	And the actual name of the book is Coffee, Actually.
	Sorry, James.
	Actually.
	Do you mean a Ricardo?
	Ricardo?
	Is that a kind of coffee?
	Yeah, I think that's what it was.
	Ricardo Montalbán was a very famous actor.
	Had a guy who had to one-up everything I did.
	Writes faster, not enough detail in reports, don't take so long on reports.
	That is kind of like the girl I have training me, honestly.
	But that's a horrible environment, yeah.
	I'm so thankful she's leaving at the end of the month.
	And there was a day in ice cream and it was so slow and I'm like, oh, I can go train in the cafe.
	But I saw this girl comes in and she's just like, hey, girly pop.
	And that's what she says.
	And I'm just like, hey, it's just a phrase.
	Teenage girls use it.
	Although she's like 20, but like maybe grow up.
	But, um, she comes in and I'm like, hey, and she just walks around and she's like, okay.
	And then she just leaves.
	Excellent.
	So he was right.
	23 times you've told the story.
	Keep up.
	Now, normally I don't take these kinds of corrections from listeners, but this one is totally accurate.
	We should have got that.
	Doesn't this make 24?
	No, because he said this before I told the story.
	I... Yeah, that's fair.
	Sonny is named after Sonny Balwani.
	Sonny Balwani.
	So Sonny Balwani, boy, there's an obscure reference.
	So Sonny Balwani... Sonny because he's white like the sun and he's reflected.
	No, Sonny, so his real name was something else.
	Sonny was his nickname.
	He was an Indian guy who teamed up with Elizabeth Holmes to create that crazy company Theranos that pretended to be able to... Oh, that guy!
	The single drop of blood could get you like 400 different diagnoses and all of that.
	Can I say the price we have for milkshakes in the, in the place I work at?
	But they won't know cause it's Canadian dollars.
	Okay.
	Do it in Bitcoin.
	17 Bitcoin.
	Not kidding.
	Um, it's eight Canadian dollars for a milkshake.
	Do you want to know what a milkshake is?
	One scoop of ice cream, about half a cup or a cup of milk blended.
	Do you know how much a single scoop of ice cream is? $5.50.
	That's insane!
	So this is an obscure joke?
	A Riccardo coffee served in rich Corinthian leather, so... Isn't God...
	Uh, no.
	So, Ricardo Montalbán was a very famous, is a Cuban actor or Spanish actor or something like that.
	And he was known for, um, doing the, he did a show called Fantasy Island, which is where people would go and get their fantasies fulfilled on some sort of island, but it usually went wrong.
	And he did an ad for a car where he was like, this is in rich Corinthian leather.
	And somebody made a parody of that.
	I wish to be buried in this car, you know, this kind of thing.
	Right.
	So anyway, there's that.
	There's that extra... Kahn!
	Yes, that's right.
	He was in the Star Trek as well.
	Which he ripped his shirt off on a... The Chrysler Cordova?
	Yeah, that's right.
	That is funny.
	Warlocks cast no shadow according to the 1989 movie with Julian Sands.
	Okay.
	Nerd.
	Nerd!
	Absolute nerd.
	I approve.
	I've never seen the movie, but Julian Sands... No.
	That's a first.
	It hurts because it's true.
	There was this movie like back in the 1800s when I was born, like it was when I was a kid.
	How old do you think I am?
	You vampire.
	Anyways, it was really funny though.
	Like every time I see you like, oh yeah, that happened in a movie or I saw this or I heard that.
	You know, if this yapping was coming in my good ear, I'd be really, really offended.
	There were two sequels to Warlock.
	Yeah, Warlocks and Warlocks.
	It's actually a decent movie.
	Okay, so Julian Sands, Izzy, I'm afraid you're going to get a little backstory.
	I've heard of Julian Sands.
	It's that guy from Undertale.
	What's Undertale?
	Don't worry.
	All right.
	So Julian Sands played George in Room of the View.
	Okay.
	The blonde guy, like the main guy in Room of the View.
	That guy who's like...
	Nevermind.
	Now, Julian S- Izzy just knows it as my favorite movie.
	Now, Julian Sands also went on a hike last year in a snowy mountain and never came back.
	I don't know if they even found the body.
	Tell me about the- Has Izzy and her co-workers done the TikTok style of, girl bus in a mini!
	Girl bus in a mini!
	No, oh my gosh, I will never- Oh, do it!
	Do it!
	Do what?
	The TikTok video of girl bus in a mini.
	I don't even remember that much.
	It was like, I remember someone was talking about like, I don't know,
	Back when I was fighting in the Crusades.
	Oh, come on.
	He must have been the Emperor at that point.
	Like, you know, around for generations upon gen- The Emperor?
	What Emperor are we talking about here, exactly?
	Well, one in the Crusades, obviously.
	Okay, got it.
	Do you mean the cavemen back- So, Girl, Boss, and the Mini.
	Do you remember there was a video- I remember it.
	They went around in a circle.
	And they each had a nickname for themselves, right?
	Yeah.
	What would yours be?
	Eh.
	Yeah.
	Alright.
	Well, think about it.
	Da Pope.
	Nice.
	That was you!
	That's nice.
	Has Izzy ever referred to things as back in the 1900s?
	Oh, sorry, I call that back with the dinosaurs.
	What is the six emojis, man?
	It's not that serious.
	Wait, I don't even get some of these emojis.
	They're... Oh, pulled those from the dinosaurs?
	Okay.
	So half of these emojis are missing just by the by.
	Okay, here's my tip to you.
	If you want to look cool with the punk teens, don't use that many emojis.
	If you do, add like three fire emojis and that's it.
	All right, so I think we should end the show with a brain rot test.
	A brain rot test.
	Locals has broken emojis.
	Broken emojis would be a good name for a punk band.
	Anyway.
	So, we're going to try a brain rot test.
	Chatty Izzy with the Rizzy.
	Chatty Izzy with the Rizzy.
	I'm not Rizzy.
	You have Riz.
	Riz is flirting ability.
	Some guy is like, oh, you have beautiful eyes.
	Duck mom and an ice cream cone.
	Duck mom and an ice cream cone.
	That's your Gen Z boss in a minute.
	I don't want to be some duck mom.
	That makes me sound like a fert.
	Feather babies.
	Feather babies.
	No cap.
	For real.
	For real.
	No cap.
	No, it's lowercase.
	There's no capitalizing.
	I'm spinning your- FRUH-FRUH!
	FRUH-FRUH!
	For real?
	For real?
	FRUH-FRUH.
	Julian Sands went missing like that.
	Yeah, he died?
	I think?
	A brown ro- A brain rot test sounds bussin'.
	Bussin' my- What is he- What is he trying to type there?
	For real?
	I'm gonna hit the gritty over this one.
	Is he on the bus?
	Fire.
	Alright.
	So- You're gonna get phantom tax if you start with this one.
	You skimmy- What is- What is a phantom tax?
	What is a phantom tax?
	I actually know this one now.
	What is a phantom tax?
	My soul is leaving my body.
	I'm going to get so down on the young person's lingo, my hair is going to spring back into action.
	That would take a lot.
	Was hoping to do Girlboss in a minute, the free domain meetup.
	As a man?
	Yes, even better.
	Girlboss!
	We want to be, we want to be inclusive.
	No, you're not even right.
	Gibbitty toilet.
	Isn't that supposed to be two words?
	Whatever.
	The sounds of death are exquisite.
	Oh, I think that's you.
	Who is it?
	Don't know what that is, but it sounds kind of cap.
	So, a phantom tax is when you have food and other people take it.
	No, it's not.
	No, it's not.
	No, I looked this up.
	You keep getting it wrong.
	Okay, here's the thing.
	It came from fries on a... Here's the thing.
	All of these websites explaining, oh, here's Gen A slang, here's Gen Z slang, here's... Feeling dizzy.
	Okay.
	Here's the thing.
	They're all written by adults who have no idea what they're talking about.
	No idea!
	You read this to me!
	And even me with my limited knowledge of Gen A, you'll read stuff and I'll be like, that's not even Gen Z, that's millennial slang!
	Like, sorry, these adults who make the websites are just doing it for clicks, no one has any idea what they're talking about.
	When you take someone's food, it's named after some New York City YouTuber.
	Right.
	I believe that his name is Phantom.
	No, it's her.
	Okay.
	Her name is Phantom.
	Okay.
	It's that, but it's also a threat.
	I've heard it used many, many times.
	A threat?
	Oh, I'm gonna take your fries.
	No!
	It's like, if you do this, you're gonna get Phantom tax.
	But that has nothing to do with food.
	Like, we'll be at some amusement park or whatever.
	Like, if you take me on that ride, you're getting Phantom tax.
	Like, it's a joke, but... It's like...
	Okay, like, it's not that.
	Okay, sometimes it started as food, but now it's just anything.
	Anything bad, you're gonna get fan attacks.
	But the origin story, the lore, the backdrop... I don't care.
	It's Gen A. Their war is retarded.
	Why is it just called brain rot?
	And I was asking you about this at lunch.
	He actively hates Gen A. Really?
	I've never heard of a good Gen A kid.
	I'm dead serious.
	And it's 13 minus, right?
	12 under.
	No, 11 and 12.
	I know that.
	I have a friend who's 11 who's like, I'm not... He still has the squeaky voice, but he's like...
	Really?
	Are you going to really criticize someone for stealing?
	No, it's bad.
	It's bad, bad.
	Like, he's like, I'm not, uh, I'm not, I'm not Gen 8.
	I don't like your slang.
	I don't associate you with this nonsense.
	And then he'll be like, I'm a Rizzler.
	I'm a Skinnity.
	I'm a Phantom Tax.
	It's like you- So a Rizzler is a twist candy made of licorice, right?
	No, a Rizzler.
	I think that's right.
	And it comes in red and it comes in black and it leaves an aftertaste that's basically like a bird took a dump on your tongue.
	Is it something like that?
	Do I have... I think I have that correct.
	Federal Reserve printing is a phantom tax.
	Oh my gosh.
	No, it's like the...
	Rizzler means you're like good at flirting and you have high charisma.
	Now remember, Zinf is a military guy, so we can't insult him.
	We only saved that for the Portuguese guy.
	Whatever you say, sir.
	If you do this, I'm going to steal from you.
	Is that what that means?
	Kind of, but phantom tax just kind of generally means something bad's going to happen to you.
	To my knowledge.
	Look, I'm not, I refuse.
	I'm with you.
	I'm with you.
	I hate it.
	I hate it.
	And then my dad's always like, skiminy.
	And I'm like, stop.
	Whoa, what the heck?
	Did you break it?
	I don't know what happened there.
	Sorry for everyone's ears.
	The Riddler is Batman's nemesis.
	Yeah, I think that's right, isn't it?
	I think that's right.
	Riddler comes from Riz, which is short for charisma.
	No, but it means flirting specifically.
	I literally asked an eight-year-old about this, okay?
	They would know.
	So it means flirting?
	What would an eight-year-old know about flirting?
	Okay, the things these eight-year-olds are saying, you guys are like, oh, they're just a little kid.
	Um, they have more flavors like grape and orange, actually.
	This has multiple flavors?
	What is wrong with you guys?
	Did they really have multiple flavors?
	No, they don't.
	They're thinking of that other one.
	The, what?
	Oh, Twizzlers?
	Nevermind.
	Okay.
	I'm going to need a website, bowmega22.
	I'm going to need a website reference for that.
	Uh, done.
	Done already.
	Uh, that question there over on.
	Man, public schools are so far gone.
	Oh, they are.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Um, uh, Skibbity Toilet comes from a now 100 plus- It's a YouTube thing.
	Is it- are you- are you- get- is this- how much is this hurting?
	So much, guys.
	It's literally not- we're not supposed to spill the secrets, okay?
	That's, like, rule one.
	Uh, it comes from- Quoting expert 8-year-old, yes!
	They're- they're Gen A, if anyone knows, they know!
	Check your local Sev?
	Sev?
	What does that mean?
	I don't even know.
	Wait, is that slang?
	No.
	Is Sev slang?
	Not for me.
	No, you mean you had a blue Rizzler because you're so skibbity.
	I think I'm gonna drink Prime for like a week straight while listening to Lo-Fi so I can understand this new slang.
	Lo-Fi is not even Gen A. Lo-Fi is like older Gen Z. What is Prime?
	Okay, I'm looking this one up.
	It's the Logan Paul drink.
	Is it?
	Yeah, he made it.
	We sell it at the cafe I work at and no one wants it.
	Oh, okay.
	Coconut water is coming out.
	I once had a blue Twizzler.
	Yeah, that's actually evil, and I think you dreamt it.
	What would the flavor be?
	Blueberry?
	No, that's horrible.
	It'd just be blue.
	Um, okay.
	No, it's not tasty.
	It's horrible.
	It's like puke water.
	Um, what was the other ones we were looking at?
	No, we're not.
	We didn't look at any.
	Bye, guys!
	Great stream!
	Click!
	End, end, end!
	All right, all right.
	Okay.
	I'm kidding.
	But no, the brain rot stuff is very, very interesting.
	It is dangerous.
	I think it's made with uranium.
	I'm kidding.
	I'm kidding.
	It's not.
	All right.
	All right.
	It's a nasty Gen Z electrolyte beverage.
	It is, yeah.
	Right.
	Excellent.
	Excellent.
	All right.
	I'm going to look up Blue Twizzler.
	Blue Rizzler.
	No.
	Do they have such a thing?
	Look, go to images.
	Go to images.
	Go to images.
	Shop Twizzlers.
	Can I have this?
	Wait.
	Accept all cookies.
	Okay, can I have your... Wait, wait.
	Oh, is that blue?
	No, that's... Cherry candy.
	What?
	That's not a Twizzler.
	Okay, that's because... What the heck's happening?
	You're on a scam.
	Hersheyland.
	That's not a scam.
	How do you get back?
	Can I just do that?
	Yeah.
	Images.
	Go to images, maybe.
	Oh!
	Blue Raspberry!
	Oh!
	Raspberry?
	Oh my gosh!
	How can blue be raspberry?
	Raspberry's red!
	I was thinking of Tootsie Rolls!
	Oh my gosh!
	Oh my gosh!
	I was thinking of Tootsie Rolls!
	Oh, I'm afraid she's banished now from Candyland.
	I was thinking of Tootsie Rolls!
	Oh, so it really wasn't that I went to the wrong website.
	It's that you were thinking of the wrong thing.
	Interesting.
	Interesting.
	Yeah.
	Actually.
	Actually.
	What do you mean, actually?
	You got it completely wrong!
	Actually.
	It's important to be mature and admit fault when it happens.
	All right, wow, that's interesting.
	Blue Juicy Licorice.
	Should you just have that whenever I'm doing a show?
	Just have that?
	Blue Juicy Licorice.
	All right.
	Prime is Sucralose Death.
	Nice.
	Honestly.
	All right, let's close out here.
	80s Redux.
	I don't get what that is.
	You remember all those people, right?
	Well, that's Logan Paul.
	That's... Some guy.
	No, that's Mike Tyson, the boxer.
	Same thing.
	I don't know.
	Oh, this was a Nintendo game from back in the day.
	Wow.
	Bustles were made!
	So, you see, this was considered hi-fi graphics back in the day.
	If you've seen that one, it's the Chad guy.
	The GigaChad.
	Pixelated GigaChad for the people who like 90s games.
	Yes, I play them.
	I don't like graphics nowadays.
	It's, like, not fun.
	To me, if the lights don't dim with my graphics card when I'm playing it, right?
	All right.
	Any other last questions, comments, issues?
	Thank you, Izzy, for a great, fun livestream, and thank you, everybody, for dropping by tonight.
	I'm just going to check over here.
	You're welcome.
	We did all of that.
	Never doing this again, though, because we started talking about slaying.
	Slaying?
	Slaying.
	No.
	Oh, I was talking about killing something the other day and you said... You said, I'm going to kill this.
	Right, right.
	And I'm like, what?
	Yeah.
	And you said, sorry, I'm going to slay this.
	Slay.
	Yeah, great show.
	I had a great time personally.
	Well, thank you.
	You're welcome.
	We don't want you to have a bad time impersonally.
	Makes one of us.
	No, I'm kidding.
	I'm kidding.
	Harshly.
	I enjoyed it.
	It was fun.
	Vindicated on the blue twizzler.
	Listen, if I get one thing right with my daughter every week, it's a beautiful week.
	Oh, week?
	I think you mean year.
	It's a beautiful week.
	No, I'm kidding.
	Oh yeah, what was it, we were gonna go to a cafe today?
	Or a bread place?
	And I was like, I'll get my coffee there, and what was the immediate statement?
	I said, where?
	At the bread place.
	Oh, bread box?
	And you were like, yeah.
	I said, I will bet you ten bucks they don't have coffee there.
	Immediately.
	Like, it's not, oh father, perhaps you're not quite correct.
	It's like, how can I profit from this?
	Anyway.
	You're gonna get a nitro-cold boo!
	No, I said coffee, not nitro-cold boo.
	Nyap-nyap-nyap.
	I'm kidding.
	I'm messing.
	I'm still waiting for my ice cream.
	I gave good tip.
	Dude, I promise I will send it to you on Amazon.
	It will be a little melted and warm.
	Oh, Izzy, they're missing something.
	No!
	Never did hear Steph talk about the skibbity toilet, though.
	No, don't!
	Don't!
	What we did see was a picture of a bunch of frogs in a toilet called... Ribbity Toilet.
	Ribbity Toilet.
	I wish it was that instead, because that would just be funny, but it's like these freaking, like, toilet heads, and, like, no one cares.
	Good night.
	We'll donate on the website.
	Thank you.
	Really appreciate that, Boa Mega.
	Chris, great Wednesday evening stream.
	Thanks, Izzy.
	I think basically, considering we're ending the stream at 9, we're basically the Puerto Rican grandmas with diapers.
	Why aren't we going till 4am?
	Where's the club?
	Where's the alcohol?
	Do you know that there's a YouTuber, James or anyone, can you look this up?
	There's a YouTuber, I think it was just over the last week, tried to set the record for the longest live stream.
	Did you read about this?
	Yeah, that happens pretty often.
	Just crazy, right?
	Why would you do that?
	Well, I suppose he's hoping to make some money.
	And one woman wrote, and I don't know how true this is, she tried to stay up for a long period of time, I think a couple of days or something, or longer.
	And her doctor said it's going to take about two years of good sleep to make up for the damage you did to your brain by staying up this long.
	Yeah, no, I've heard it's really bad for you to stay up
	So bad.
	A night or two is okay, but any longer than that, it's very bad for you.
	Very bad for you, and she said that she still has sleep issues years later after doing this.
	That will happen, yeah.
	I think the biggest barrier to accomplishing that is modern internet uptime.
	I'm not sure what that means, but... Is it like the sleeping thing?
	I think the sleeping thing.
	I know that screens and internet can be kind of like bad for you, because I will sometimes do this, or I don't do it anymore, because like, in 596,
	Yeah, that's the guy.
	The online guy was going for the record, but apparently he didn't even get halfway there.
	I don't know.
	But see, it's about 5% of the population can function perfectly well on five hours of sleep.
	But it's very rare.
	I think Trump's one of those guys, Bill Clinton was one of those guys, and... I'm not.
	I thought I was for a bit.
	When I was younger, I was, like, okay with it, but now I kind of... I need, like, seven or eight hours.
	Yeah, me too.
	I've done a few 24 hours.
	I couldn't imagine more than that.
	Yeah.
	I did two all nighters.
	You did 33?
	I think I did one where I was up again till, like, four the next night, but then I, like, I definitely haven't done two full days.
	I remember being worried about when we were leaving New Zealand.
	Do you remember?
	And we were concerned, and it was just beautiful sleep on the plane.
	Oh, that plane was so bad!
	New Zealand, fairly evil place to begin with, but when you combine that with the airplane made out of Minecraft evil concrete blocks... I think it was genuinely made out of bones.
	That was the worst airplane seat that I've ever been on.
	It's like being trapped in like mammoth dinosaur bones going up your rear.
	We had an upgraded seat too, like we didn't have the super premium.
	No, we were supposed to have slightly better seats.
	It was like just above business class, but like two below the super, because it was just at the front, like where they had the bathrooms, I think.
	Yeah.
	Or not at the very front, but like where they had the bathroom separating you from like the super premium.
	So we had a little extra legroom and it was still horrible.
	Oh, it was really the worst flight.
	Going to Brazil was pretty bad, but coming back from New Zealand and it was like, I don't know, 17 hours or something like that.
	It was just... Going to Australia was a lot of fun.
	Yeah, Australia was great.
	It was really, really nice going to it, but it was... Oh, his dad managed four hours, died of 57.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, sleep is really, really important for testosterone production, for memory formation, for general mental health.
	It's really, really good.
	And you know the 3-2-1 rule?
	I think it goes something like, do not eat three hours before, do not drink liquids two hours before, no screens an hour before.
	That's silly.
	I will literally be up at night.
	I wake up at night because I'm thirsty.
	I went through this in the first 20 minutes of the stream.
	Yes.
	You are basically a camel that never runs out of water.
	Yeah.
	No, like I will get up at one and I'll just really be like, my throat's dry.
	I can't sleep.
	My throat hurts.
	I drink so much water and it never used to be like this.
	It's just, I got a water bottle and I started drinking a lot of water because of it.
	And then now my body just needs that water to function.
	And I know if I didn't drink it a lot for a couple of days, it would just be like, okay, well I guess we're going to drink less water now.
	But cause I've done that before.
	I didn't, I had, didn't have my water bottle for a couple of days.
	I lost it.
	And I was just fine with the regular amount of water, but now that I have a lot of it, I just drink a ton of it.
	I wake up to check crypto prices sometimes.
	You've got issues, man.
	Oh my gosh.
	That's almost like you.
	Don't do it.
	I'm kidding.
	Somebody says... Oh, James says, I've not ever been able to sleep on a plane, maybe with the full recline.
	Yeah, I can't sleep on planes.
	Really, I just can't.
	I can maybe pass out.
	No screening an hour before bed.
	Sounds like a Heroes Challenge.
	Well, you can get on Android, you can get these screen dimmers.
	I use them sometimes if I'm reading on Android, and the screen dimmers take it.
	Yeah, they take it all the way down.
	They take it all the way down.
	I don't like that stuff though, because then my eyes are like...
	Oh, the worst thing is, I used to watch sometimes shows before bed, and you know it's like some nighttime show, so you turn up the brightness, and then it's like- I've never done that.
	And then what happens, because you need to see at nighttime, and then what happens is it suddenly switches to like daylight, and it's like being beamed out of a horror movie into like bright sunlight, just- I like that, I'm more of a 2-0-0 person.
	Which means don't eat two hours before bed, drink a lot of water, and doze a lot of screens right as going to bed.
	I'm like a 4, minus 1, minus 2.
	What?
	You see screens two hours after you go to sleep?
	An hour after you go to sleep?
	Oh, yeah.
	No, I mean water, so I... Oh, water, yeah, yeah.
	Watermelon-flavoring Stevia works for me.
	Oh, alright.
	I use night shift mode to the max.
	I think that's a blue screen or something like that, where you have night mode on your tablet?
	Yes.
	Yeah, yeah.
	All you precious people.
	I need my night mode on my expensive computer.
	Oh, she dreams of screens.
	No, I don't actually.
	I don't think I've ever had a dream with, I have had a few, but it's like very rare, very light.
	I'll have some dreams of texting and stuff like that.
	But there's a funny question, which is we use screens a lot, but nobody ever dreams about them.
	I've had some dreams with them, yeah.
	But it's not common.
	I think it's because dreams are more like a primal kind of thing.
	It doesn't filter down, right?
	Although I guess you've been on, like, I've been on airplanes and cars and trains and dreams with people that's not very primal, so I don't know.
	Eating before bed causes acid reflux.
	Actually, sorry, negative.
	Uh, my kinesium, I think, has helped my sleep quality tremendously.
	I've been having all kinds of crazy dreams over the last couple of months since I started.
	Right, right.
	Oh, fun.
	I used to dream of typing in the chat during streams.
	Nice.
	No, no.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	No taking a break.
	It's on Friday evenings, usually.
	Like, go have a life.
	No.
	Stay and do all of these absolutely wonderful things for this show.
	This is why I wouldn't have a... I could never run a channel because I'd be like, what are you doing sitting at your computer watching me?
	Get up, go do something, get to work, you lazy... Not kidding.
	Windows updating at 2am always puts me in the negative.
	What does that mean?
	On Windows it like... Oh, oh, okay.
	Okay.
	Or maybe it reboots and gives some screen sound.
	I heard you don't feel pain in dreams either.
	I have!
	Huh.
	I do.
	You know what you're gonna dream about tonight that's gonna cause you to feel pain?
	The Skibbity- Jenny slang!
	Freedom ain't his life.
	That's right.
	Philosophy is life and freedom ain't his philosophy.
	Therefore, logically, syllogistically, freedom ain't his life.
	I've definitely felt pain in dreams before.
	I can't taste very much.
	You know what's weird?
	I used to not, but recently I've noticed I can, not recently, maybe in the last year or two, a couple of years, I've been feeling pain and been able to taste in dreams.
	You taste?
	It's like vague, but it's like the essence of it.
	Like, you know how you can smell something in a dream usually?
	Like if it smells bad, it's like that.
	It's like smelling almost when you eat.
	The worst thing is dreaming of a great new book I'm excited to read.
	You can't read in dreams.
	I guess that's true.
	Most times you can't.
	Most times you can't.
	Maybe big ads or something, right?
	If it's something you've seen before or what is it?
	If it's something like...
	Oh my gosh, what am I trying to say?
	Sorry.
	If it's something like I've read the text before, I get a text saying like, hey, I'll be calling tonight or something like that.
	And then in the dream, if I'm kind of dreaming about my life, I can see the same text, but I almost never generate new ones that actually make sense in my head, which is funny.
	It's like the AI trying to generate words or like draw hands or whatever.
	Isn't that funny?
	Yeah.
	I dreamed very lucidly last night.
	It was great.
	I've tried.
	So I've- You used to be able to do that more.
	No, but like, I knew I was dreaming, but I could never control it.
	Right.
	I have done, I was, a couple months ago, I really tried to get into lucid dreaming.
	I was doing all the reality checks and like doing the, uh, wake back to bed.
	Oh, it's a whole thing.
	It's a whole thing to lucid dream?
	It's a whole thing.
	It's a huge thing.
	Yeah.
	But, um, yeah, I was, I tried, I got it like twice and it was like super vague.
	So whenever I tried to do anything, I started waking up.
	Sorry, but how did you know you were lucid dreaming?
	Because you knew you were dreaming in the dream.
	You just know, like, I'm in a dream.
	And I was walking down a street.
	It was like this kind of utopia, not utopia, but it was like, I want to say almost like, imagine Bioshock, but above ground with like plants in the sun.
	It was something like that.
	I remember walking down and being like, I'm dreaming.
	And I have a lot in dreams where I like jump and just keep jumping.
	Like no gravity?
	Kind of, but like slow gravity.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You walk and you're completely fine.
	Yeah.
	I tried to do that and I wanted to like, what if I can just fly?
	Because that's like, everyone says a simple way of starting to dream, because almost everyone has dreams of it before, is in lucid dreams to fly when you're still getting used to it.
	So I thought, I'll do that.
	And I just felt myself waking up, like it got like kind of dark and it was like, so I stopped and the dream, and that was later in that dream and then another time.
	But those are the only times I've actually had it like intentionally.
	I, uh, for some reason dreamed that I was the drummer for Sting's old band called The Police.
	And we were doing a concert and I was like, I think I can do this.
	I think I can do this.
	And I was like, but I don't actually know the lyrics to the songs.
	And I had to get Alex Jones to print them out and came out like gas station receipts.
	So funny!
	I mean, isn't that wild?
	No, I'm undoing this.
	It's my dream anyway.
	Yeah, I've had that before.
	I had that one dream.
	I was like really scared.
	I want to say it was almost a nightmare, but not really.
	I was just like, literally, why am I scared?
	Because it's a dream, right?
	None of this is happening.
	I had that a ton when I was younger, like maybe 12 to 14, 12 to 13, or maybe I want to say 11 to 14.
	I had that a ton.
	And then just in the last year, it's stopped a lot.
	So I think if I tried to do lucid dreaming back then, it would have been a lot easier.
	But now I almost never know what I'm dreaming.
	Are you still trying to do the lucid dreaming?
	No, I stopped a bit because I did it for like a month and I didn't get anywhere.
	And it was when I stopped doing it that I actually had the lucid dream.
	And I was like, excuse me?
	Right, right.
	Oh, the jumping things in dreams, just jumping over the utility poles and soaring over town.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I used to have it.
	I've never had it soar.
	I used to have it where, you know, you get chased by the monsters and you're trying to run away.
	But because every time you run, you float up, you can't get any traction.
	So they get closer.
	Oh, that was not fun for me.
	No, I don't like those ones.
	But like, I get what you're saying.
	I've had, I've had feathered wings once, which is what I thought were super cool.
	They were like grey.
	The news show where you were interviewed in New Zealand.
	Three news.
	The worst of the two is gone now.
	It couldn't sell adverts apparently.
	A lot of people were fired.
	Seems appropriate.
	I don't think that was my... It's all your fault!
	I don't think it was my six years ago.
	I can't believe that was six years ago we were in New Zealand, right?
	Holy crap.
	Yeah, it was nine.
	Imagine.
	I have had dreams where I am eating a giant marshmallow and the last time I had that I woke up and my pillow was gone.
	I knew that was going somewhere.
	That's very much my experience.
	No, I have had it where I'm having a tough time breathing in the dream and then I wake up and I'm like face down in my pillow.
	That's weird.
	I had it once where I had, oh my gosh, what was it?
	I felt in my dream there was a snake slithering on my leg and I was like, oh, that's cool.
	So I picked it up, but it felt like it was still slithering.
	And I woke up and this was, I had a bug on my leg.
	Oh my gosh.
	Yes, that's right.
	I completely freaked out.
	Um, cause it was, I woke up cause I knew something, this was one of those times I knew I was dreaming.
	I'm like, okay, this is weird.
	So I wake up, like I just opened my eyes and it takes an effort, but you can't open your eyes if you know.
	I felt it.
	You make yourself awake?
	Yeah.
	You make yourself come awake, right?
	Well, it's basically like if I was ever realized I was dreaming and I didn't like the dream or I was scared or something.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I would just like your eyes are shut and you really have to work.
	So like it's a whole facial movement to open them.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And you can usually get out of it.
	Yeah, I can usually get out.
	I don't have bad dreams very often, maybe once every couple of months.
	But I do have it where I'm, it's like coming up from the depth, like with bubbles and churning, like I just make myself wake up.
	Yeah, it's kind of like that.
	You just have to try.
	But anyways, I still felt it on my leg.
	So I switched the light on.
	It was a bug.
	I hated that.
	And then you woke up again.
	And again.
	And you were a bug.
	And the problem is sometimes, I've never had this, but I know it's a pretty common thing.
	If you wake up during a REM cycle where you're having a really strong dream, sometimes you will just be put in sleep paralysis.
	So that's why it's always like 50-50 for me, because I don't want that.
	But I know it happens.
	I've never had sleep paralysis.
	I've never had sleepwalking.
	I've never had anything like that.
	But I know some people who do.
	Like that guy, they said, my sleep paralysis demon.
	Remember the guy who did the head rotation in the light up suit?
	Oh, I remember that.
	Yeah.
	And what was the song?
	It was that song.
	From Greece, right?
	I have no idea.
	Hopelessly devoted to you.
	That one, right?
	And he was very funny.
	And then it's like, Hey, when my sleep paralysis demon comes to sing me a song or something like that.
	I've never had sleep paralysis, but I think it's completely terrifying.
	Yeah.
	Cause you can just, I just shut my eyes.
	I've had a few times as I'm going to sleep, if I open my eyes and this was when I was younger, again, I think I was like, had more in touch with fantasy when I was younger.
	So I would have more stuff like this, if you know what I mean?
	But, um,
	I would have, like, as I was going to sleep, if I opened my eyes, I would see stuff in the room.
	If I blinked a few times, it would go away.
	Oh, you mean like stuff floating?
	Oh, it sucked.
	I was like, no, what the heck?
	What is this?
	And it was because I was like on the edge of sleep and I opened my eyes.
	Oh, right, right.
	So that's why I got so scared.
	I'm like, I had to pick, I'm going to commit.
	And I'm like, I'm never opening my eyes again until I actually sleep because I got so scared from those couple times.
	Do you do this thing, and I remember when I was about your age, when I was learning how to do skateboarding, that I would sort of half dream about skateboarding.
	Yeah.
	And then you jerk yourself awake when you... When I knew I was getting higher, I had that every night until I started working.
	Dreaming of scooping ice cream and just messing up about everything.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, your body's like preparing you for the worst case, right?
	I get a cherry and I literally slip.
	Oh, I had one of those actually come true last time I was at work.
	And so this cash register doesn't work.
	So we keep it open a little bit.
	Yeah.
	Because otherwise it takes a long time to go under and get the whole mechanical thing.
	For those of you who were earlier in the stream, you know, but for those of you who don't, it was accidentally thrown out and I had to go get it.
	So it doesn't work anymore.
	But my sleeves, I was wearing like a baggy t-shirt.
	My sleeve caught on the edge of it.
	Entire thing fell over.
	Gosh.
	I was by myself in there because in there by myself, huge lineup, money all over the floor.
	Oh wow.
	So we have these little boards up and I'm like, I'll be right with you.
	So I put the boards up on each window so people couldn't come in.
	You never know, there's some pretty sketchy people there sometimes, right?
	And I was freaking out.
	I want to say my hands were kind of jittery because this was earlier in the day when I'd had the shot with my co-workers.
	It doesn't have much effect, but I just notice my hands sometimes get jittery, right?
	And I was also anxious, because I'm like, there's a ton of people, and they weren't the most upright looking people either, just a little sketchy, and there's like money all over, so I'm just grabbing it, and I can't get it because of my hands.
	Right, right.
	Oh my gosh, horrible.
	That is funny.
	I was finding change on the floor the rest of the day, like, it was ridiculous.
	So I'm trying to, because I don't really understand the sleep paralysis stuff, so let me just, so people are saying, sleep paralysis is terrifying, always happens when dreaming of something scary.
	Yeah, it's never positive.
	But no, but what does sleep paralysis mean?
	Inability to move, scream, call for help despite being desperately wanting to.
	But that's a dream anyway, right?
	No, to my knowledge, it's when you wake up, so you can look around and see your room, but you can't move, because sometimes when you're in bed... So you can't look around or can't move?
	You can look with your eyes, sometimes, sometimes.
	But your body's stuck.
	You're completely frozen, you can't move it.
	Like, okay, I broke my wrist, I mentioned this before, my thumb doesn't straighten.
	I can go like this, it won't stay up.
	Right?
	It's like that.
	Like when I first did it and my thumb just wouldn't move, like.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Like that?
	That's how it felt.
	My guess, because you're trying to move your hand, or your leg, or your arm, but you can't.
	So basically, your brain is still in a dream state, but you're also awake.
	So it's like hallucinating.
	So you're hallucinating.
	You know, you are awake.
	Are you hallucinating the dream in your room?
	So it's almost always a nightmare.
	So you'll see figures in your room and people and stuff like that.
	And you physically can't move, right?
	Yeah.
	So it's kind of like that.
	But sometimes you hallucinate, sometimes you're just there.
	But it's basically you're dreaming.
	So the part of your brain that produces dreams is still going while you're awake.
	It says, I feel like my entire body is vibrating.
	I haven't hallucinated anything, although I think in my dreams sometimes there was some terrifying component.
	I just feel overwhelmed by a sense of dread and I'll try calling out for help, unable to get the words out and break myself out.
	Wow.
	There's a pretty common thing that people see this one guy called the Hat Man, which is just a guy with a hat.
	I've also got sleep paralysis related to child abuse.
	I've not experienced it!
	No, she hasn't experienced it.
	No, I'm just saying this is what I've heard.
	I've never experienced sleep paralysis, though.
	I've had some lucid dreams, and I sometimes know when I'm dreaming, and I obviously have nightmares, everyone does, but I've never had sleep paralysis.
	For me, sleep paralysis was when I knew I was dreaming something but could not move or break out of it.
	But a lot of dreams, it's only at the end of a dream.
	Like my scary dreams, they have a kind of plot or a story where things are getting worse and worse and then at the very end I can make myself wake up.
	Right, right.
	So, um... So, if you... Oh, you know you're dreaming, but you can't move or break out of it.
	Okay, so that's the difference.
	At the end, I know that I'm dreaming.
	I can make myself wake up.
	So, he says, you're conscious about your in-real-life surroundings, but you are completely immobile and still dreaming of the threat.
	That's what I mean.
	Like, you're awake, but your dream brain is still going.
	So if you're being chased by, I don't know, some figure, then you wake up, the figure's in the room that you can see, and you can't move or wake up again.
	Yeah, that's pretty much it.
	Oof, that's crazy.
	Sorry, crazy, that sounds bad.
	I mean, I don't mean you're crazy, I just mean it's bad, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I think it's associated with waking up during REM sleep, body can't move despite efforts.
	That's what you were saying, right?
	Yeah, that's what I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
	Again, I'm not certain, but this is what I've heard before.
	I think it's a little different for almost everyone, but...
	It's a common source for stories about ghosts and alien abductions, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, people will have kind of a dream like, oh, I've been abducted, or whatever, and that kind of thing.
	Your body is shut down while asleep to prevent injury.
	Your conscious mind alert, but muscles still shut down.
	Well, yeah, so, of course, if you're running in your dreams, there's a kind of drug that goes through your body that makes sure that your limbs don't move while you're sleeping, right?
	And that's what you have when you first fall asleep.
	You jolt, it's because...
	Oh, that hasn't happened yet, right?
	It hasn't happened yet.
	So everyone's had this, I'm sure.
	Right.
	But I see memes about it a lot.
	And to my knowledge, it's if you're first falling asleep and your brain's kind of starting to dream a little bit, and sometimes you'll hear scenarios or hear voices or smell stuff or whatever, right?
	Yeah.
	That's not actually there because you're starting to dream and then you jolt.
	Um, usually it'll be because you're trying to stand up in your dream and your legs go, or you're trying to reach out to grab something and your arms go.
	Right.
	Um, because your body hasn't kicked in yet and hasn't separated from real life and like a dream yet.
	It hasn't put the drug in that keeps your limbs still or whatever, right?
	Well, it's partly like that because even when you're half asleep, you can still move sometimes.
	But I think that is, I'm not, not sleep paralysis, but it has a little similarity to it is that your waking dream and your dream brain are going, your waking brain and your dream brain are kind of going at the same time.
	So your brain wakes up, but your body's still kind of paralyzed from the... Not exactly.
	No, that's sleep paralysis.
	But for this one, when you just kind of jolt to sleep, you're not paralyzed yet because your dream brain hasn't started really going yet, but you'll still kind of see stuff because you're half dreaming and that's why you jolt awake sometimes and your whole body moves.
	That's what I've heard.
	Again, don't trust me on any of this, but that's what I've heard.
	So he says here, I know I'm lying in my bed, but I'm dreaming that a demon is reaching out to grab me and I can't do anything about it.
	Oh, interesting.
	I think that the only way to save yourself from that is freedomain.com slash donate.
	I think if you... So much sympathy!
	Dang, bro!
	Alright.
	Uh, it says, almost caught between dreaming and waking, but no ability to affect it either way.
	Oof, that would be scary.
	Uh, ever listen to Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell and later George Norrie?
	Overnight radio show call in weird stuff.
	Aliens, NDEs, I don't know what that is.
	Ghosts.
	Non-disclosure agreements.
	Aliens again.
	Two aliens.
	Monstrous... Two aliens.
	Shadow people.
	Yeah.
	I get that jerk awake thing and I usually end up feeling like I'm falling and I kick my leg or swing my arm.
	Takes a while to get back to sleep.
	That's what I'm talking about, James.
	That's exactly.
	Yeah, that's right.
	I didn't listen to Coast to Coast with Art Bell.
	Oh, near-death experiences.
	Okay.
	I like non-disclosure agreement.
	Right, right.
	We've been yapping, dang.
	Yeah, good stuff.
	Good stuff.
	Alright, let's see if we had any other last questions over here.
	Having a dream you're trying to pee is the worst when you wake up, yeah.
	Honestly.
	What sucks about sleep paralysis is your body needs more oxygen when you're awake, and you can't breathe.
	I guess that makes sense.
	When you're sleeping, everything sort of slows down, so you need less oxygen.
	So, oh, so you wake up and you feel like you need more oxygen, but your body's not processing as much or giving you as much because you're still in half-sleep?
	I think that has something to do with it as well, yeah.
	Ooh, that does sound rough.
	That does sound rough.
	All right.
	We'll just wait for, so yeah, we'll just take the last couple of comments here.
	Thank you guys so much.
	Things, of course, that would explain the suffocation feeling.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I've certainly have had that where I feel like I just can't get a breath in the dream.
	And then when I wake myself, wake up.
	Have you ever tried?
	I mean, I used to do this kind of goofy stuff when I was a kid.
	Trying to figure out when you fall asleep?
	No, no, that I used to try.
	I used to always want to find out when I fell asleep.
	I can never do it, right?
	But I used to get a, I was sitting in the bath and I would get a face cloth and I'd see, can I breathe through the face cloth?
	Cause it's got little tiny holes in it, right?
	And so it's that feeling of like having something like a cover over your mouth.
	Like a mask!
	Yeah, yeah.
	And you can't quite get enough air and it's not being choked or anything.
	It's just, and I think that that, I think I didn't, I understand that now that your body doesn't need as much air, but if you're waking up, you're not getting enough air because your body needs more air in a waking state.
	Uh, Shadow People and Monsters, Evil Spirits, Who Knows How Much Is Real vs. Made-Up Stories, But It Kept You Company Overnight, Near-Death Experiences.
	But I gotta think, an all-night show where people are talking about Shadow People... Yeah, that's the next piece of sleep paralysis, like, because you can hear stuff in your sleep.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Like... Oh, for sure, I, um... I've heard stuff before, and I, like, I heard something fly into my window, and I was like... While you were sleeping?
	Something hit me in the head when I was, like, in a dream or whatever.
	I have to make sure, if I do listen to something when I'm going to sleep, that it doesn't have bumper music that's loud.
	Because then you're just doing...
	Okay, you just woke someone up who's listening to this show while they're sleeping.
	You wouldn't listen to me, guys!
	I've literally been yelling the entire time.
	Right, right.
	I've been trying to fix my sleep in a panic, literally having panic attacks, like fainting feelings while I'm driving, not fun at all.
	Trying a lot of things, about 20% better so far.
	Dang.
	Wow, I certainly would recommend not driving when you're having those feelings.
	Just looked it up, sleep paralysis and post-traumatic stress disorder are correlated.
	Yes, I've heard that as well.
	I've had many dreams when I was younger where I tried to open my eyes, but couldn't due to bright light in the dream.
	I wanted to take control, but there was no way I could.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Huh.
	I used magnesium to prevent charley horses in my legs.
	Oh, that's cramps, I think, and stuff like that.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	No, no, charley horse, I think, is a thump.
	Restless leg syndrome is, that's why I stretch every night because I don't want, otherwise I, my legs.
	I have that if I don't move around during the day, so like sometimes before bed I just go and go for a run pretty much.
	Yeah, for sure.
	Yeah, you go for walks and all of that too because you want to make sure that you're not going to have jimmy legs.
	Yeah, I just go for walks because I like to move around and stuff.
	Right, right.
	Fascinating.
	You know, because we live a third of our life in bed, right?
	And a lot of people have a tough time sleeping.
	I certainly know that as I've gotten older, my sleep has become a little less deep.
	I'll wake up a couple of times in the night.
	Nothing major, but I certainly have noticed that.
	You wake up to get more water because your body is gone for like 98 to 97% liquid.
	Right, right.
	It's like my charger.
	I basically have a phone who needs water as a battery.
	Nice.
	To live off of water.
	I worked nights in security since 1998.
	Okay, Mr. Five Nights at Freddy's guy.
	I'm kidding.
	That's right.
	Yeah, we knew someone who worked nights as insecurity back in the day, and they had a tough time switching back and forth between the two.
	I feel like I'd be good at that, because it's at night, I'm just not tired.
	I have to watch boring videos on YouTube to get tired.
	I mean, Rumble.
	Not kidding.
	No, I never get tired.
	Very, very rarely.
	Very rarely.
	But I'm never like, oh my gosh, I gotta go to bed.
	Mom's like that.
	I have that sometimes where I haven't done anything interesting in like an hour.
	I'm just like, and I want to sleep.
	But then if someone says, oh, let's go watch a late night movie or something, which is rare, but it's fun.
	We've had some great reviews sometimes doing late night movies.
	We did go to see that Godzilla movie.
	What was that, 11 at night or something like that?
	It was epic.
	We came out of the theater at like 1 because it just kept going.
	It really did.
	It really did.
	These are the people yelling in the movie theater.
	I had to tell them to stop up.
	No, but then we had to go to that one McDonald's at the end because you wanted food or something like that.
	And that's the one that never has anything.
	And they're like, it's the 24 hour one and they never have anything.
	Their ice cream machine hasn't been working for like three years.
	Okay.
	I'll just go there and I'll just ask them for fun.
	Like, I don't even want ice cream.
	And I'll be like, is it working?
	And they're like, no.
	Still.
	And then they never have the coffees like how do you run out of coffee and then they didn't have like burgers or fries or it was like 11 or sorry 10 and they didn't have hashbrowns like when you guys and hashbrowns like 9 and I'm like what do you mean 9?
	Anyways.
	What's this one is?
	I either put on astronomy videos or random videos or... No, video game or other type of lore videos.
	I know.
	He's the guy who's been trashing it in the past.
	Like, oh, they're boring.
	I go to sleep with them.
	Who?
	This guy?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, lore videos.
	Because I care about the listeners.
	I absolutely, and we can, I mean, this could be a whole other show, but I had no idea how much people were doing back lore, background lore for video games.
	Yeah.
	I actually enjoyed Night Shift.
	Swapping work schedules sucks, though.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Cards, novels, newspaper, and patrols.
	Long before internet.
	Oh, patrols?
	Sorry.
	Patrols.
	Fudge vanilla ice cream, Mr. Grace.
	It is actually pretty good.
	Yeah, it's the caramel.
	Oh, no, fudge is different.
	Fudge is more chocolatey, right?
	I have no idea.
	All right.
	Okay, well, we could go on and on, but let's close it off now.
	We really do appreciate it.
	We must start yabbing at some point.
	Really, really good stuff.
	Because you weren't going to come in for an hour, so it's been really nice.
	Was I?
	Well, that was sort of my first thought, because I didn't want to book you in for the whole show, just in case you had other stuff you wanted to do.
	I'm supposed to do more chemistry homework tonight, me and my friends.
	Oh no, we're keeping you from chemistry homework?
	Are we doing the Zoom meeting tonight?
	No one responded!
	I told them I was working 27 hours today because I'm like, sorry guys, I won't be able to make it.
	I'm actually worried 27 hours.
	Same.
	There's more depth to Minecraft than I would have expected.
	There are Minecraft lore videos?
	I don't like those ones.
	No?
	I think they're, honestly, look, I'm one to talk.
	But I think a lot of the Minecraft stuff is a bit made up.
	Although there's been some very interesting discoveries when playing like the discs, like the music songs.
	I'm not sure.
	Again, I haven't been into Minecraft lore in quite a long time.
	I'm sure there's been more that kind of backs it up since I last looked.
	So I'm not going to talk about that one because I have very little experience.
	But I would say, to my knowledge, when I first looked at it, I didn't usually think the Minecraft lore was like, this is kind of silly kind of thing.
	Boring stuff like Freed- uh, nevermind.
	Oh, that's funny.
	Are you kidding?
	That's funny.
	Hero Brine?
	No, don't get me started on that!
	I had a whole session when I was younger about this kind of thing.
	What is Hero Brine?
	Oh my god, I'm not getting into it.
	This is something I'm not getting into.
	Should I look it up?
	Go for it.
	It's like a white-eyed Steve who, like, it was a whole thing about he would cuss.
	Steve!
	He got so popular that every time Minecraft released an update, in the update notes, they would say, Herobrine has been removed from the game.
	Every update.
	And they finally, they missed one.
	And everyone, that started up a whole thing.
	Creepypasta.
	Yeah.
	Really.
	How does James, as an adult, know about Herobrine?
	Everyone knows about this!
	With any mild internet culture knows about this.
	Oh, security patrols.
	Five nights at Freddy's!
	Herobrine is in Notch's younger brother who died and was stuck into the video game.
	Allegedly.
	Yeah.
	It's not.
	I'm not proud that you know all of this.
	You're fine.
	You're a kid.
	I'm not... I'm not pleased.
	No, I'm just kidding.
	I am.
	You know what?
	If anybody who has the slightest bit of internet culture knows this, sorry.
	Um, I guess I do not have the slightest bit.
	When I was younger, I told you all about this guy and you were like, yeah, yeah.
	Oh, that guy!
	All right.
	Okay.
	Well, listen guys, thanks so much for a fun, fun evening.
	And thanks to you for joining us for this long.
	It was great fun.
	We have to get back to Scrabble game we were playing before this.
	I had a seven letter word that was going to bring me back from the dead.
	And then you were like, sorry, we're doing the live stream.
	And I'm like, what?
	Anyways, I'm good.
	I actually, now, now that I can, uh, now that I know that hero Brian is a word, I can play that.
	Oh, it's eight letters!
	Okay.
	Nine, I think.
	Nine.
	Yeah, but it's alright.
	There'll be an H-E somewhere.
	Good night, guys!
	Good night, guys!
	Thank you, everyone, so much.
