Speaker 1:

One, two, three, four. Hey guys, and welcome to another episode of the Weekend Rundown. This is your host, daniel.

Speaker 2:

And I'm your host, drew. We're just here to talk some more weekend news and talk about our weekends. So yeah, let's get right into the episode. Try to streamline them now. Anything cool happen to you this weekend, daniel.

Speaker 1:

I just went and checked out a park water. I mean. I guess it's not a park, it's like a water resort in San Antonio, florida.

Speaker 2:

Two questions real quick.

Speaker 1:

San Antonio, Florida, where the don't even know where that is, It's like northeast of Tampa or something it's in like the middle of the state. There's nothing there.

Speaker 2:

Okay. When you say resort, is it like if?

Speaker 1:

I don't know. That's a resort. It's like condos that they're building and it's like the. The sign says it is the largest lagoon spring in the nation.

Speaker 2:

Oh, so their idea is to like make that into like a place where people go live because of that resort, whatever.

Speaker 1:

I guess it doesn't look natural at all. I don't know. Well, was it cool? It was cool, yeah. I mean it's like a really big pool. They got like a private area, you know, if you don't have kids 21 plus.

Speaker 2:

Like just go drinking and chilling like the lazy river.

Speaker 1:

And then there's like the huge obstacle course, like a blow up obstacle course out there And kayaks and paddle boards. It was pretty fun. After that checked out the Black Rock Steakhouse, which they just bring your steak out raw and they have like a black rock that's like 755 degrees. How is the rock that hot? They just heated in the oven. I asked them how it stays that hot. She says it just always seems to stay hot. She says it's hot, that hot for like an hour. Sometimes that shall have people ask for like a new rock, but they're slow eaters.

Speaker 2:

That's crazy. So the steak was good though Steak was delicious Place was awesome.

Speaker 1:

I guess there's one in Sarasota too.

Speaker 2:

How did you get your steak cooked?

Speaker 1:

I cooked it myself. What do you mean?

Speaker 2:

Like I mean, like how do you like, to what temp did you cook it? Fuck to sear it, bro, like well done, no, like just sear Like a quick sear Like yeah, it's just like.

Speaker 1:

I mean, if I'm cooking it myself first, i'm lazy, i just want to eat.

Speaker 2:

True, true, all right. Well, that's, that's cool. I mean, did you get like any sides, or was it just like a steak They plop down?

Speaker 1:

So I got. I also got like a ahi tuna that I cooked on a roll.

Speaker 2:

Oh, like a real quick sear on that thing would be nice, that was nice, there was like a soy sauce or something.

Speaker 1:

And then it came with. I got like sweet potato fries and like the biggest cup of clam chow to ever. It was like two bowls But it was a cup. It's called a monster cup.

Speaker 2:

Oh nice, they knew it there. Yeah, I knew it was up, sweet Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So what happened?

Speaker 2:

over your weekend I went to a buddy's birthday. Got pretty, pretty sloppy at the birthday party.

Speaker 1:

I saw you there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, i mean I was fine, but that's not really what I want to talk about. What I want to talk about is that I saw the new avatar movie but because I don't know that I like the direction that movies are going with the length You know how long is it? Three hours and 15 minutes.

Speaker 1:

I mean the first one's really long too.

Speaker 2:

I know, but Jesus, dude, I mean, that's so long. It's literally like I don't know. I don't know how to explain my hate for the way that the new movies are. It's like I had to watch it in four parts, which was fine, but it almost makes me feel like I could have just watched four or 45 minute movies, or whatever.

Speaker 1:

Like a series. Yeah, like a series.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like in three parts. It just felt like so much And I get what they're trying to do. They're rehashing of like. The first one was like Oh, they're wrecking the jungle and the forest. And now this one's like Oh, they're wrecking the water and the oceans And he's trying to make like a commentary on the way that, like, the human species is on earth, which is, i guess, really cool and stuff.

Speaker 1:

But can you do it quicker? Yeah, deliver your message a little faster.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, man, i just I don't know It's not. The film was fine. I guess The CGI was really good.

Speaker 1:

I mean, you got to give them credit. It's like, isn't it the second movie? It is the second movie, so the second movie and it's been like 20 years I know it's so many people pumped out like 10 movies within that span. So give them, give them an extra hour.

Speaker 2:

Maybe an extra hour, i don't know, maybe 30 minutes, but okay, that can be your opinion. In an hour That's quite a bit.

Speaker 2:

I'm just saying Yeah So. But the movie I guess like overall was good, but it just had some parts, Man like, where, like spoiler warning they like make you feel like they introduce these species of things called tokens, which are basically like whales and they're super hyper intelligent and they like bond with the water people, But they also like have humans that hunt these things and those things don't fight back because they have some weird anti war thing that packed they made like thousands of years ago, I don't know. It's kind of convoluted. It's basically the equivalent of us hunting whales.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I was going to say that sounds eerily similar to everything we do.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but like these things also only look like whales in their shape, like everything else They have like horns on their head like a crest or something, and like their mouths open up like aliens. Our whales have horns, yeah, but it's not like that. It's like it's like a plate thing. It's weird, but yeah it just you, just they. You feel for these things and you see them hunting them. It's just not really cool. You like immediately.

Speaker 1:

You're like I don't know that, i like this Well so we did a good job, like you know, building some sort of he did do that, but it made me want to turn it off almost.

Speaker 2:

I think I might have positive that part and came back later. It's messed up, yeah, so, but yeah, man, other than that, like that's pretty much what I did this weekend, just the party. Happy birthday, cody. Again, it's pretty awesome 29,. You're not 30 yet, so go you. Yeah, you can still celebrate that. Yeah, he was a sick. Oh man, i'm 29 now, so did you find it's?

Speaker 1:

OK, It's not even yet 365 days bro.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, bro, just take them one day at a time, maybe half days at a time. even So, you want me to jump into some articles. Do you want to pull any up?

Speaker 1:

If you want to start, i can pull some up. But if you want to start, that would.

Speaker 2:

I have this cool one that's like has to do a space. It says what is the special ingredient for Mars travel meal prep? Is it astronaut breath? So this says that using space yeast, they may be able to create a food. It just needs astronaut breath, water, yeast starter. What is astronaut breath? like you exhaling carbon dioxide, like that's what it is like. So carbon dioxide, water, yeast starter, electricity in a rolling pin and that's how they make food now in space. I guess.

Speaker 1:

So they're creating it in space, not?

Speaker 2:

bringing it with them. I mean, they're bringing like the water and the yeast starter, but like their breath, that's their carbon dioxide. I mean, literally, that's like you. So what's it tastes like, does it say? I mean, it just says that you put all these things into This machine, you wait about two hours and you get a protein shake, textured yeast that can be dried and rolled into pasta or tortillas. I Guess it came out in 2017, when they used carbon dioxide and they turned it into alcohol. They turned it into vodka, perfume and yeast. That's what his company did and that's whenever they sold it to NASA or whatever Says. The food products have to require Little resources and product little waste, while being safe to eat, nutritious and tasty. The goal is to prom. These edible. Innovations could make The exploration to Mars and deep space more feasible. They can also offer new, more sustainable avenues to feed people here on earth. I'm not eating it. Why I?

Speaker 1:

don't know. I have better options. Why would I need to feed, eat that on earth you, but what about like a third world country? If it's really cheap, sure, go for it, but I mean I'm not gonna eat it. I'm just talking about myself. You wouldn't I have better options here.

Speaker 2:

I'm just saying it's, it's cheap, you could. This could be a way that you can make alcohol at home yourself but I'm not really big on drinking.

Speaker 1:

Well, I just mean all right.

Speaker 2:

Well, people in general, i don't know. I just think you're missing the implications of the fact that like it could make foods on like the trip to Mars, i think for space exploration.

Speaker 1:

It's great. I don't think anyone needs to explore Handing that to the public.

Speaker 2:

Well, most of the time these things that like come out for space end up being like An everyday use type item. That's like what GPS is and Satellite dishes and all that stuff.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, those are advancements. This isn't doesn't seem to be an advancement.

Speaker 2:

It seems to be a really inexpensive way to make food Does seem to be that yeah, I.

Speaker 1:

Don't know.

Speaker 2:

I just think that it's cool like they're. They're figuring out ways like to get closer and closer to like making food. I'm sad of nothing.

Speaker 1:

It's cool anything that they advance towards space exploration. I think it's pretty cool, but I I Just don't think that Anyone's gonna eat that. I don't think we're gonna see it as a trend in the next.

Speaker 2:

Oh No, not soon, but like usually it takes about 10 to 15 years for things to like come down. That was like Like dehydrated food and stuff like that.

Speaker 1:

But do you have a an article, then I Do have an article, and it was a snake in Alabama That was on a ceiling fan and somebody decided to record it and I think the video probably is viral right now.

Speaker 2:

It is viral. I've seen the video you're talking about.

Speaker 1:

The one where, where?

Speaker 2:

I don't want to spoil the end of the video, but have you seen it? Did you watch it? I Haven't. You should watch it real quick. Just watch the video.

Speaker 1:

Well, this Article doesn't have the video.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so do you want me to describe the video for you? If you want to, that would be so the video is like this person just sitting on their couch, and I got it.

Speaker 1:

I also have a 13 second commercial.

Speaker 2:

That's terrible. There's another way a 13, second commercial.

Speaker 1:

I think that's longer than cable TV.

Speaker 2:

No, it's not that quite bad, but like it's not cool, that's definitely sure okay now we're here, we're seeing her.

Speaker 1:

I Don't know what they thought was gonna happen. They thought that the snake was just gonna like oh. Yes he's, he's being, he's intact, that they launched itself right what he was doing, right out in the person. Oh Man, he, even in midair you can see him like, whip his body side to side so it gets a little more distance, so he reaches the dude.

Speaker 2:

He's like I'm gonna get him just come straight for him. But yeah, that one's been viral all over the internet. Man, what would you do if something like that happened? Like would you just sit there and record it.

Speaker 1:

No, I wouldn't record a snake on my fan. I'm not sure how I'd react, but I don't even think I'd. Maybe I get a broom when was last?

Speaker 2:

when was last time you looked out was like a crazy wild animal like that.

Speaker 1:

Like, handled like a snake like crazy. What's it? What's a crazy Well.

Speaker 2:

I don't know the possum is a possum.

Speaker 1:

Possum is not crazy.

Speaker 2:

I don't think a possum is crazy.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so a snake.

Speaker 2:

Maybe it could be like a hog or like something weird, like a bear was near you. I don't flip a no man.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, i would probably say a Long time, long years. Yeah, try to keep myself out of those situations.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, i mean, obviously no one wants to be in a situation like that, but they just tend to happen, you, know, I mean not if you play it safe.

Speaker 2:

Oh, i remember one time, a few years ago I think, i was in Connecticut or I was in one of those states, and we were like hiking on like a mountain and There was just literally like trails and Hike on the trails and while we're hiking we heard some noises off to the side and Person I was with got really, really afraid that it was like a bear. So we had to turn around. You know, did you ever find out what it was? No, because she freaked. She freaked out. She just wanted like cute Instagram pictures. She didn't actually want bear troubles, you know and I can't blame her for that, i mean, neither can I She. She was like the entire time. She's like oh, if you had your gun I'd feel more safe and I was like my guns, like a nine millimeter, that bear would eat it. He would eat it and then eat me.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I just think if you were to shoot at the bear, you wouldn't want to hit it. You just want to make the noise. You wanted to hear the gunshot, you know.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because like, if you actually hit it, it wouldn't do anything.

Speaker 1:

And then the bear would realize hey, that's not actually gonna do it.

Speaker 2:

It's like. It's like a bee sting.

Speaker 1:

So you want to give him the noise but not the effect. So he's like, oh wow, that was loud.

Speaker 2:

I wonder if that would hurt. Yeah, you're just supposed to like it with black bears. You're supposed to make a lot of noise, but like if you're like a grizzly bear you're supposed to.

Speaker 1:

Bears are pretty chill.

Speaker 2:

I thought black bears, though, like if you'd like try to like do anything like grizzly bears. I'll be like I'm just so good at eating you.

Speaker 1:

I think grizzly bears are the aggressive ones. Yeah like I'm eating you, no matter what. Yeah, and a grizzly bears the same thing as a brown bear, i think.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, yeah that's what they're like, grizzly brown for vacation, for sure, deaf and moondo, i have never had some crazy snake or something come flying at me like that.

Speaker 1:

I have had to deal with like Armadillos to you know, woke up with a cockroach on my arm one time.

Speaker 2:

I mean, i feel like everyone's kind of had some sort not like woke up with one, but had a moment where, like they were near them and they like freaked out but like waking up with one on you.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, it was looking at me.

Speaker 2:

Oh my.

Speaker 1:

I was looking at him as well.

Speaker 2:

Are you sure you weren't just looking at him like He's like I?

Speaker 1:

just woke up and I, like, felt something on my arm. I looked over and he was staring right. My eyes No, staring back at his and this little Antennas were just wiggling all over the place and you're like bro, You have like t-minus negative five seconds to find a different home. I don't even think I had that thought before. I just like started freaking out, Scared the shit out of me bro.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you're so screaming. Is anybody around you?

Speaker 1:

I don't think so.

Speaker 2:

That sounds like a terrible time. That runs you that movie, joe's apartment from like the early 90s or late 90s or whatever. It's like a MTV movie where this guy like lived in this crappy apartment. There's like a bunch of cockroaches that were his friends.

Speaker 1:

Wasn't there some show or something where the cockroach are? oh no, Never mind, I can't remember it. I don't want to tell a joke if I can't remember.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, don't don't tell a joke if there's no punchline and it won't be very good. But the whole point of the show was like this guy like becomes friends with the roaches and then the roaches talk to him and then like He gets a girlfriend that comes over and she's like at first afraid of the roaches But like the real, the girl who's really good for him, will like withstand the roaches, you know, and like hang out and be friends With the roaches. To you That sounds like a gross ass show me.

Speaker 2:

It's not show, it's movie, it's the MTV movie, of course. Of course it's MTV. Yeah, they did some stupid movies there for a hot minute. I Mean the price. You'll do stupid movies. I don't know anything that they do, actually, i.

Speaker 1:

Don't think that they do music.

Speaker 2:

Not really they don't. I think what they do now is they.

Speaker 1:

I don't think they do anything that except for reality stuff right, isn't that it reality stuff and award shows.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, yeah, for the award shows for music.

Speaker 1:

Yeah but, not actual music. They say we can identify good music, but we won't play it.

Speaker 2:

That sounds a lot right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

It's not like everything, though. is like country music to eat television I like. don't they like play like Roseanne or something like that? like they play like comedies like that?

Speaker 1:

I, you know, i don't know who plays what.

Speaker 2:

Anymore I don't have cable neither, but like last time, i Think last time you had YouTube TV and I was using your YouTube TV I searched Roseanne because, like I had a 96 and it took me see him T. Yeah, i was like what the heck? and it was like only old 90s sitcoms. I don't know how CMT became that, but I guess that's what country people like.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they're getting. Only they like to watch it on TV and not listen to it.

Speaker 2:

You're a shit on the radio. Your shirt looks pretty fun there. What's going on with it? my shirt, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Oh, it's like a massage shirt, like the kids drew like a Race track on the back so that they can run cars over it while I wear it, and it gives me a back massage. Ah, you tricked them.

Speaker 2:

I didn't check one wasn't even my idea, it's it's a pretty good idea, though Yeah, no, it's not for one. I like that idea. That's why it looks.

Speaker 1:

Looks like a different, like copied like a rug, so it looks like really like kid ish nice, like a child's drawing, but it works. Yeah, no, it's pretty cool. I Like it. I like why I like the massages.

Speaker 2:

Well, obviously, and then you spend time with your kids at the same time. So it's like a good like a Good like little, and this thing's too close to me. It's like a good like little. I don't know Bonding, but also I'm tricking you.

Speaker 1:

I'm not checking anybody. They got it from you. Yeah, it wasn't my idea.

Speaker 2:

I know they're. They're tricking themselves. You want to go to the next article guy? I've got another one.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you can go next one All right.

Speaker 2:

So the next one is did you see that Connor McGregor knocked out the heat mascot in the bizarre promotion for the NBA Finals?

Speaker 1:

I did see that and like, like like. I don't what a piece of shit that guy is.

Speaker 2:

You know and the very first thing this article says is former UFC champion Connor McGregor knocked out the Miami Heat mascot in mid-game Bit that went wrong. Former I Mean no longer It said it said he, the guy that got punched briefly sought medical attention Friday After taking two punches from McGregor during a third quarter stoppage.

Speaker 1:

I would McGregor hit him so hard. That's my fucking question. What? what kind of asshole do you have to be? You know, this guy's a mat like. He's a guy wearing a suit.

Speaker 2:

Tim. They gave him pain meds. That's bad. I don't like those.

Speaker 1:

I Mean probably maybe, maybe McGregor didn't, maybe he was just using it to get the pain meds, because he's already fucking junky.

Speaker 2:

I mean you can speculate whatever you want, but I don't know that I would do that.

Speaker 1:

But it said they literally booed McGregor because Because he's McGregor and he's the notorious Yeah, it's fucking literally his image.

Speaker 2:

Damn dude. He punched him when he was on the ground.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he's the notorious.

Speaker 2:

He's a mascot, bro.

Speaker 1:

That's pretty messed up, dude, yeah man And I think the heat loss I gave him to all because McGregor It's you think he lost with McGregor?

Speaker 2:

says he hasn't actually fought, since he hurt his leg When he lost to Dustin Poirier in July 2021. He's both. I was talking to someone at work and they were saying how he's he was like in some sort of talks to come back, do some fight I'm not really sure what, but that's about.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, and then I heard that he was like But I don't know that, isn't there supposed to be a fight between that Paul kid and the Diaz brother, nate Nate Diaz. Is that supposed to happen? Yeah, it's like I like a scheduled date.

Speaker 2:

What day It's in August. I didn't know about that. It's a boxing match. Yeah, which Diaz brother isn't?

Speaker 1:

it's Nate Diaz. But the thing is it was supposed to happen in Texas, but Texas doesn't allow marijuana and they said that they won't allow Nate Diaz the drop dirty for the fight. So the last I heard was Nate Diaz said he needs, he said we need to find a different venue in a different state.

Speaker 2:

He's like I'm not gonna fight you there because I'm not gonna pee.

Speaker 1:

He says I'm gonna be fucking hot. I'm smoking a blunt on the way to the stadium to fight Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Because he doesn't care doesn't fuck that's just the way he is, dude. Like I remember, did you see the documentary about those brothers? Like they grew up like poor and all they did was sell weed and like fight and like Saying like that's like literally all I did. And the older brother, nick Diaz, he obviously He's a good fighter and stuff. He's just not asked, i guess, household of a name as his brother at this point, you know, and It's just kind of like a He kind of tried to keep his brother away from that.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, well, the older brother, I think he got injured or something, but they've always been bad asses, man.

Speaker 2:

I Wouldn't want to fight either of them, but I mean, i guess I would do it for a promotional cause. They'd kill me, they would destroy me.

Speaker 1:

I wouldn't do it for a promotional cause.

Speaker 2:

What if they would like? let You and me like double team one of them. We would lose. We would, but for promotional cause And it just boxing, maybe I.

Speaker 2:

Mean, if we're just boxing, then we have a chance, because he only has just a chance, you know just a chance, but if he can use his legs and his arms and he can keep us at bed, The craziness to me is like UFC is like such a revolving door, like even not just UFC, any mixed martial art. You know. It's like a. It's a revolving door of Talent, because a guy is good and he's the best in the world pound-for-pound, unanimous fighter, and like two years later like he's Well, it's not that you don't know who he is, just like He's the second fight on the card because he's lost his belt and you know saying like look at like run Like Rhonda Rousey, connor McGregor.

Speaker 2:

No, rhonda Rousey, I think, was like a victim of like they were trying to make The female side of the sport more well known, and she was like an Olympic judo, you know what I'm saying, like gold medalist, i think. But yeah, so she just like beat the shit out of people armbar, armbar, armbar, armbar. And then she fought, fucking somebody who actually like had like a decent defense of grappling and Kicked hard as fucking the head and fucking.

Speaker 1:

She got fucking, she got beat up, man, she wasn't ready for it either?

Speaker 2:

No, but same thing. I saw Holly Holm fight like Five months ago or something and she just doesn't even like. she looks like she got kicked in the head so many times You know I'm saying I mean you.

Speaker 1:

Everyone wants to talk about the fucking head child with football.

Speaker 2:

It's gotta be, it's gotta be bad boxing and And boxing is so bad too, because like they're like I heard there's some something about like the way the glove hits, like Whenever you hit it, like does something kind of like a gift. Something like that. Like it. Like it like whiplashes the head every time a little bit. That it like hits that, even though like protects, like From, like bruising and shit. It like also like fucks up the neck and like brain more you know, I think it's also for your hand.

Speaker 1:

You know, yeah, yeah, it's for the hand punch without a glove, you're gonna break your knuckles, yeah can you bring that little closer to you?

Speaker 2:

It's just a little far away. Yeah, there you go, there you go, there you go, there you go, just a little better. But yeah, i mean, i don't know a whole lot about like um, like boxing and shit like that, but I just remember reading some article that said that. So that's why I bear knuckle boxing became a thing, but like people watch it and people are like bleeding out. So yeah that's super violent.

Speaker 1:

I mean, it looks pretty violent.

Speaker 2:

It does look very violent. Supposedly, though, it's safe fish. I've heard Joe Rogan talk about it, but Good old Joe Rogan experience when a name drop it, so we can get a little search ad under there you know, Yeah, we'll be recommended when they really search it, because it's in our podcast. You got another article you're looking up, or?

Speaker 1:

I got one about a man that found a million pennies in his house a Million pennies, like how many dollars even is that? I was trying to do the math in my head.

Speaker 2:

Don't you have a calculator, like on your computer or your phone?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but I feel like we can do the math pretty quick, can't we?

Speaker 2:

we just got to do the decimal point over, like what like to 100 pennies is a dollar 10,000 dollars.

Speaker 1:

It's 10,000 dollars 10,000 pennies is a hundred you're doing it the wrong way.

Speaker 2:

You just need to move the hundred thousand pennies, thousand, all right, Why are we really doing?

Speaker 1:

so it's 10? It should be $10,000. That's what.

Speaker 2:

I just said Yeah, I Said you just move the two decimal points.

Speaker 1:

So why are they asking for $25,000?

Speaker 2:

Because they're probably old-ass pennies that are worth more of the actual copper. What? what state is this in?

Speaker 1:

It says it's a Los Angeles family and It was a bunch of bags they found while cleaning out their house. There were sealed bank bags, you, they said. They've contacted by a few coin collectors or people who specialize in the space and just based off of some of the Questions they asked me for example, having the lead sealed bag or having bags from banks We don't necessarily recognize, knowing they are at least 40 years old or more I've had quite a few collectors tell me that this is something that shouldn't be sold until we know what's going on.

Speaker 2:

They're probably worth way more than 25,000. You don't say it.

Speaker 1:

Well, they found out that the coins are copper and not zinc. What's the United States switch to in the 80s?

Speaker 2:

Well, yeah, they're 40 years old than she said, so and they're asking $25,000.

Speaker 1:

So if you want to buy a million pennies, $25,000, melt that bitch down and get a little copper.

Speaker 2:

That seems like a lot of work, a whole lot of work. And then you mean if copper is so valuable.

Speaker 1:

How come, like no rappers have been like, check out my copper chain.

Speaker 2:

Yeah right, i don't know that copper is valuable. I think it's like valuable to like people who like need money, like really, really bad.

Speaker 1:

And why would like platinum be more valuable, like how come there's no platinum coin?

Speaker 2:

I don't know that reason. Is there like a platinum coin, like US minted platinum coin, special edition or some shit? Let me check Because like I feel like Trump would have them do that, i just feel like that's a thing. Platinum US coin. Platinum United States coin.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you can get one yourself for $1,200.

Speaker 2:

Man, I just I don't know that I can bring myself to pay that.

Speaker 1:

And you can actually buy it from Walmart for $1,335.

Speaker 2:

Well, Walmart has.

Speaker 1:

Walmart's in the in the platinum game.

Speaker 2:

Well, because Walmart just isn't the redistribution game Like they. Literally Holy shit, this penny From 1920.

Speaker 1:

It says Discovery Coin PC GS 1920 D. Teddy Roosevelt's Panama penny US air air price $992,000. Imagine having that penny.

Speaker 2:

My God.

Speaker 1:

That's disgusting.

Speaker 2:

That's a penny.

Speaker 1:

It was shocking Columbia and it has a scratch right on it.

Speaker 2:

Wow, i want that penny. That's crazy. We should one day, if we ever make it super big, we're buying that penny, ok.

Speaker 1:

I don't want that penny. Why not? Because it's a million dollar penny, OK.

Speaker 2:

I want the penny.

Speaker 1:

You spend a million dollars by that penny.

Speaker 2:

If we have $100 million, I'm buying that 504 people are watching this. Click 505.

Speaker 1:

The selling only has 147 sales. Click watch, click watch.

Speaker 2:

Click watch. You want me to watch it? Add your watch. Let's see how much this helps, for I got to log in, Ah well.

Speaker 1:

I can log in, all right. All right, i'm logged in.

Speaker 2:

That's just a whole lot of pennies. And it's also like imagine if they have one of those. Imagine if they have a shitload of those pennies. Bro, What if you bought those pennies for $25,000, right, And you just had like $2500 of those pennies?

Speaker 1:

This one's a double link and penny for half a million.

Speaker 2:

It's like double printed, So yeah, yeah, i can see it, it looks like he has like a crazy shadow, like he's a shadow G2 user.

Speaker 1:

Half a million dollars. Dude, that's crazy. I didn't know the coin game was so big. Yeah, man.

Speaker 2:

That's why, like anytime, if you go to garage sales and they have like old bags of coins that they're just trying to like sell and shit like that, like luxury coins, you should just always buy them That is insane.

Speaker 1:

How do we from looking at? so it's called the American Platinum Eagle and that's a it doesn't even tell me how much it's worth Though.

Speaker 2:

I think there's. I think there's an app on your phone.

Speaker 1:

That was just value 10 to 100 US dollar face value.

Speaker 2:

And it's only worth $1.

Speaker 1:

No, you buy that bitch for $5,000 or $1,000 or $3,000.

Speaker 2:

Sheesh, it's only, it's only one 990 my problem with second, my problem with precious metals is like I don't know how, how you're supposed to like. I don't really get what you're supposed to do with those things. Besides, just hold them. I guess they just hold their value Right.

Speaker 1:

That's the point. Yeah, i think they're. I think the value depreciates less than, but that's pretty much anything else.

Speaker 2:

Isn't that what bonds are for?

Speaker 1:

I mean, imagine if the government just failed. You know like all the money in your pocket, all the money in your bank would be fucking worthless, right Worthless. Yep, that platinum coin that you spent $3,000 on, but how someone would chop your head off for that bitch.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but how am I going to like use that to have like, like, like, like to?

Speaker 1:

I'll give you this coin for seven cows and 30 acres.

Speaker 2:

And then they just shoot you in the face.

Speaker 1:

Well you, I'll give you this coin for seven cows, 30 acres and the gun on your head.

Speaker 2:

OK.

Speaker 1:

How about that?

Speaker 2:

All right. All right, i don't know, i just think like there's easier ways to trade, but I got you.

Speaker 1:

I mean, it's just I'm obviously. If it's the only platinum coin in the area, maybe you get a little more out of it. I'm just saying that's a rough example of how you would get that done.

Speaker 2:

That's fair. That's fair, i would. I would probably try to trade in commodities like hot sauce and stuff like that.

Speaker 1:

I'd be chopping that platinum coin up. I'd be like you get a sliver, You get a sliver.

Speaker 2:

How are you going to chop it? with what Do you know? I don't know how to chop platinum to you.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to melt it and then drop it in a little platinum drops.

Speaker 2:

OK, ok, that's a good plan I like. I'm saying like melt it down and like poor little things like in the like little tiny balls.

Speaker 1:

Everybody gets a little ball, and then, if anyone ever tried to rob me, i just swallow them.

Speaker 2:

All the while my platinum pellets fuck you guys but they make a, kill you and take them out of you.

Speaker 1:

Hopefully stomach acid melts them. So, all that shit. They come back a couple days later poop my platinum back home. We're still looking good. Still the richest man in town. Because I'm the guy with platinum because I spent $3,000 once on the platinum coin.

Speaker 2:

But you said one thousand three hundred.

Speaker 1:

Depends on the quality or the size of it. I said all right, some of them were like three thousand, some like five. I'm going with like the middle.

Speaker 2:

I was looking into getting on Like a gold cap for where my tooth is missing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I want to do that too, but I have like a whole tooth that's missing and it's way back there though. Yeah, mine's like one more tooth back, but you don't need like suddenly see it.

Speaker 2:

So I like looked into getting the two tooth cap so that it actually went over a tooth, and then I could like fill it with like um, like you know, like the tooth resin, and then like have like a fake tooth so I could just like put the two there. Yeah, it's pretty cheap, to be honest, like it's because it's just a cap. I think it was like one 40 or 150 for like the two and they're like 10 karat gold, which like obviously you get better gold, but it's going in your mouth, you know yeah, who's gonna check the quality on it?

Speaker 2:

It doesn't really need to be, it's just to be there. And the funny thing is is like, is it Florida or is it just because I like Want to do it?

Speaker 1:

I mean, i'm from Florida too and I want to do it so I.

Speaker 2:

Wouldn't do?

Speaker 1:

I wouldn't like put a gold tooth in, like my front teeth, you know Well.

Speaker 2:

I actually saw. I actually saw some that I liked that were on. They went over your canines. There were caps and they were gold teeth, but they were vampire teeth, Oh yeah, see.

Speaker 1:

I wouldn't. I wouldn't want gold teeth in the front. But I would like one in can speak you as one in the back.

Speaker 2:

I'm what about? what about two inconspicuous ones in the back?

Speaker 1:

I'd have to see him. I'll let you know, i'll give you an honest opinion. What's this in?

Speaker 2:

I think I still have like the website up. It just looks like this.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I have to see it out of face.

Speaker 2:

I don't know how it looks. It looks like that on the inside, outside and that on the inside.

Speaker 1:

I'm sure it looks fine. Doesn't look like it's in the front, no, it's in the back.

Speaker 2:

It's over the teeth that I'm, that I have. It's this one and then the one behind it. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I'm on board.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, 140 and I can get 10% off. So what's that $14 off? Then they send you um, they send you a mold to, so you bite the mold And then they like you tell much teeth and they just send the gold for that teeth, it's dope.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, All right you got one more article. I Do have one left in. It's actually a silly, stupid one, but like it's kind of close to my home Because it deals with a guy from USF. So it's Florida's quote-unquote doctor deep resurface, resurfaces after his record breaking 100 days living underwater.

Speaker 1:

Oh, How deep does it say?

Speaker 2:

It says he was in the Florida Keys Lodge for scuba divers, so I don't know. Whatever. You could probably look up how deep that is. It's oh actually it says it is submerged 30 feet Below the water.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's not deep at all.

Speaker 2:

No, it's just a lodge that scuba divers stay in, i guess. But he stayed there for a record amount of time. He says it was never about the record. It was about extending human tolerance for the underwater world and for an isolated, confined extreme environment.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if that builds. I think it's more for research then he's a.

Speaker 2:

He's a yeah, that's kind of what he was saying is like Yeah, he's a retired US Naval officer and he is a educator At USF, like I said, and he's a has a doctorate in biomedical engineering, which that's pretty impressive.

Speaker 1:

It's cool when you SF can get on the map. Yeah, like that one.

Speaker 2:

It says that the Guinness Book of World Records lists him Deuturi as the record holder on its website after the 74th day last month. So he went like an extra 26 days. I mean that record will get broke at some point at some point. Yeah, the records are made to get broken. Yeah, but I guess it was called project Neptune 100 was organized by a foundation and, unlike a submarine, which uses technology to keep the inside Pressurized about the same as the surface, the lodges interior is set to match the higher pressure found under water. So his body was like under high pressure for a hundred days.

Speaker 1:

That's pretty stressful.

Speaker 2:

I would say, i mean like I guess, literally, actually, but I couldn't imagine doing that I.

Speaker 1:

Mean in the name of science.

Speaker 2:

If you're a scientist, I guess that's pretty much what they're trying to do to benefit ocean researchers and I mean, do you know, do they get paid for things like that?

Speaker 2:

I think it was, i think it was his decision to do it like because it was like a Type of whatever they said, like a record. Not, he didn't go for the record, he was trying to do it with the foundation to like Learn about the effects on the body. He spent three months in nine days, he said. He conducted daily Experiments and measurements to monitor how his bond body was responding. He also met online with his several south thousand students from 12 countries. He's still taught while he was down there And he had more than 60 people come visit him an animal. Most gratifying part, he says about this was This is the interaction with almost five thousand students and having them care him about preserving, protecting and rejuvenating our marine environment. So it sounds me like he used this as like a stunt to like make people care.

Speaker 2:

Well, he says he plans to present his findings from the Neptune 100 project that November's World Extreme Medicine Conference in Scotland. So, yeah, we need to stay tuned for November. See what he found out. See what he found out. Yeah, i don't know that I could live underwater for more than two days at that pressure. I.

Speaker 1:

Think I could do it. I don't think I would want to like the hundred days or two days, not the hundred, i don't. I mean, that's a world record, i'd you think you do 20 days. I could do.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think I could do 20, as long as you so kind like internet and stuff.

Speaker 1:

I mean, did he have?

Speaker 2:

it. Yeah, he did, he had all that. Oh yeah, cuz he was on the teacher and he was teaching. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, if I had all that, i think I had a regular problem regular life.

Speaker 2:

I just wonder how he got his food, like people bring groceries down to him for a hundred fucking days, like imagine that door dash bill.

Speaker 1:

Maybe he was making his food.

Speaker 2:

Making his food like what, like, like he's got like a little arm that like goes out. He like grabs the fish as it goes by and like like brings it around.

Speaker 1:

No, like that, that Article you were telling me earlier.

Speaker 2:

Oh shit, oh man, that would be awesome. They were like hey, rae, take this Yeah just have to a new technology.

Speaker 1:

We just figured it out.

Speaker 2:

That's super awesome to think about You know, I wish that would. That would be full circle, i guess.

Speaker 1:

But that would be an environment in which I could see it.

Speaker 2:

The world's not that perfect. Yeah, no, they should, totally. She's a fur underwater, like space spaces and stuff, um, but yeah, man, i don't really have much to say about that article, other than like it'd be scary to stand or water, i'll do. I like the water, but as I become more of an adult, i don't think that I like the water as much like not being able to see what's under me. You know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think people just have like some sort of strange Fascination with water. I think maybe it's because we're made of water that people are just fascinated with water.

Speaker 2:

It feels good to like the weightlessness, to like if you have any kind of joint problems or problems with any part of your body, like the second you go in water. You're like, oh yeah, like it doesn't hurt anymore but I mean, i was.

Speaker 1:

I was Listening to a podcast where they were talking about which podcast I'd like to know?

Speaker 2:

Oh man, i.

Speaker 1:

Will try and get the name of it for you. I can't think of it right now. All right, well, that's fine. Unsolved mysteries, something like that, okay, but um, it was a. They were talking about how, like mermaids, like Drawings of mermaids, and things were found in places like landlocked places, places where, like Places that like would have been like with water, like hundreds of years or hundreds of thousands, yeah, yeah, but but no longer now, and it's like so if these ideas were built or were conceived way back then, you know?

Speaker 1:

And they also alluded to something kind of strange to that I never thought about, and that is the fact that The little mermaid, the movie of the little mermaid, they told the true story of the little mermaid, of of the little mermaid story, which is actually really dark, and they're like, that's one that the guy wrote.

Speaker 1:

I Don't know that it was Dutch, i don't know it was. It was a really dark story, but the thing is that the little mermaid is from the perspective of a mermaid wanting to be a human, when in reality people would relate much better to the opposite right, a Person wanting to be a mermaid, like there was a. They had a story about a man, two guys that were on a boat that crashed and They were saved by what they Thought were three mermaids, and it was actually Three women that were wearing mermaid tails, that were just happened to be on the beach for, like a mermaid dive rescue class.

Speaker 2:

This, that was real life, that really happened. Yeah, it really happened. Like they were saved by three Mermaid.

Speaker 1:

Yes, i swear to you right. It was crazy.

Speaker 2:

Can you imagine, dude?

Speaker 1:

I would be like Yeah well, we don't know that there are. I have no idea what they look like. If I was, there are regular people with tails. If I was dying.

Speaker 2:

And there was a woman and I'm assuming she's got them shells over her boobies because she's being a mermaid. It's just got the shell. So And she saved my life. She's hot automatically. A three instantly becomes an eight Dude. It's how like my life got saved. How many people get saved by like normally. It's that the mermaids are singing you to your death on the ocean.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but I mean I just, i just they were just talking about how like Humans have like a strange connection with the ocean, where, like it's just like yeah, yeah, i almost calls like back to us exactly, but I don't know something that all humans can relate to his water.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, it like feeds us to like we get like. A lot of Humans live on the coasts of a lot of the countries and you get a lot of food from the ocean, so it makes sense that we're fascinated with it. It's like a life bringer. Yeah do you have one more article? I think Um you should have one more left, because I started, didn't I?

Speaker 1:

I I thought you did two and I did two.

Speaker 2:

I did three so far.

Speaker 1:

We got a bridge man that was detained after he was climbing 72 floors of a seoul Skyscraper that's Seoul in North Korea.

Speaker 2:

So.

Speaker 1:

South Korea on the east side. Yeah, yeah so so South. Korea, a bridge man was detained after climbing more than halfway up the world's fifth tallest Skyscraper in Seoul with only his bare hands. On Monday, authority said, I didn't care.

Speaker 1:

More than 90 emergency Police and other personnel were dispatched to the 123 story, 555 meters tall lot world tower. The man was spotted scaling the building on Monday morning. The Seoul fire agency commented the man is in his 20s. He reached the 72nd floor, which is about 1,020 feet up, jeez, and they took a gondola lift and moved him inside the building. They identified the man is free climber George King Thompson.

Speaker 2:

What did a name for climbing?

Speaker 1:

He was carrying a parachute, of course like just in case he's gonna base? jump off the top of the building.

Speaker 2:

Oh, can you imagine actually if you would have made it and just been like peace out.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that sounds, that's a buddy that used to do that, but I don't think he free climbed on the side of huge skyscrapers. He just like that says.

Speaker 2:

This says that he got arrested in 2019 in London for scaling a building the UK's tallest building.

Speaker 1:

So there's a yeah, he was arrested. The owners of a billion press charges against me trust passing in six months in prison for that in 2021. He did what he climbed the stratosphere tower, a residential block in the East London Stratford neighborhood, reached the top in less than half an hour. This man's a beast, he said he picked the building because he was shocked by the flash floods that recently hit the area and wanted to raise Awareness to the seriousness of climate change.

Speaker 2:

I mean, can you hate on that? That's pretty cool.

Speaker 1:

The lot, property development, which operates the tower, said the man didn't suffer any major injuries. The fire agency statement said he suffered a cut on his skin on the right knee.

Speaker 2:

I don't think he cares about that.

Speaker 1:

I don't think he's worried. 2018 French climber Alan Robert, known as Spider-Man for his daring stunt, was also detained after climbing the 75th floor of The Lot World Tower. Lot officials said they heard who made? it eventually released and left South Korea after they told police they didn't want to press charges for obstruction or trust. So who made it higher up the building. He went 75th, not not this guy, the other guy the French guy. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Man, 72nd floor. He, only he was just trying to beat that guy thing these guys are crazy man. I would never do that.

Speaker 1:

I would that there was a guy I can't think of his name, but he was like a Chinese climber and he's like one of the ones that started the pioneering the just climbing on skyscrapers and taking like videos of them, yeah, and He was doing it all the time. Well then, a lot of other people started doing it And he needed a way to get like more followers, so he started just doing crazy stunts up there, like you'd bring a hoverboard with him and He would like take it all the way to the edge and then stop right on the edge, or he would put his arms over the edge and lower himself down and then do pull-ups on the edge and then pull himself back.

Speaker 1:

I think I've seen that that's super scary to me, and or he would another one of his trademarks was he would measure out perfectly so that he could just do a bunch of flips and Stop directly on the edge of the thing.

Speaker 2:

So did he die doing that Well.

Speaker 1:

So one of his videos is I guess he did, he went to this tower and He went up like 50 floors or something, but then he still had to get out and climb like 38 more floors and he climbed 38 more floors And then the video shows him like wax in the side of like this Building, like gripping it, like he's about to do lower himself over, and then he like lowers himself down.

Speaker 1:

He doesn't like it, he pulls himself back up and he waxes it a little bit more or grinds that I don't know what he's doing. And then he goes back over and he lowers himself down And then he does a pull-up and then he goes down and then he tries to do another pull-up And you can see he's. He can't do it, like his arms are fatigued. He can't pull himself back up to the edge of the building and he's up there by himself. So like he struggles for a little bit, then he kind of like looks down and then just Let's go and shoots, pushes himself off the building and felt like 88 floors or some shit into what The ground you know, good, good game.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, i mean it was sad because he had like a kid and stuff, but what they think is he didn't account for the fatigue he was gonna get for having to climb up to the top. Goodness gracious dude, like they that's usually, when he'd do it, he would get to the top without having a free climb on the outside of a building. But this time he had to free climb up there and they say they don't believe that he accounted for the fatigue because he'd done it.

Speaker 2:

Oh, so many times you know right, but like that seems silly to me. That seems like somebody might have like done something in the building or something.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, i don't know, it was certainly.

Speaker 2:

That sounds really scary.

Speaker 1:

I was a rough video to watch.

Speaker 2:

I saw this thing about this free climber like a long time ago that like they dubbed him, like the coaster rink, coaster rink and eight man or something, because he would climb, like free climb with his toes, and they like See, they like put sensors on him and scanned him while he was climbing and like all of his fingers and Thumbs and his toes would all grip different pieces of rock like differently, like individually, and he would like push his body against it and then, like uses me and like every like part of him, like It's weird like there was some something like normal humans when they climb.

Speaker 2:

We have like Six contact points or eight contact points that like touch the wall and this man had like 32 or 42 or something like that.

Speaker 2:

She yeah, he was just like a straight-up monkey. That's nuts. Yeah, it was like a same type of it show where they showed this guy Also that could like free dive, and he created this like Technique of free diving where he breathes out while he jumps down off a cliff and like continuously breathes out while he's going down, and I guess, like you have to know the technique, writer, you could die because it, like it, decompresses your body while you're going super far down. You know what I'm saying, so you can say down deeper and go deeper than anyone else and then come back up and yeah, i don't know, i would never fucking do it. I guess it's only like a technique that like him, his family and like a few other people in his village know because he taught him, but like It's crazy, yeah risky very risky but like he goes down real far and gets like fish that no one else can get, so Guess it's worth it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's kind of like that's your lifestyle for sure.

Speaker 2:

It's like those. Evolution yeah, it's the killer whales that like evolved to like get those seals off the caps. You've seen that. Yeah, well, they make the waves. Yeah dude, like how they're so smart They just come in. They like as groups of three, like smash and like. I actually saw something recently where just this summer They've started attacking boats and yeah, well, because I think they're smart enough to know that some of these boats are f'ing us up.

Speaker 1:

Well, they think what they're. What scientists believe is that maybe they're Associating them with the lack of fish in the area and the overfishing. Oh, they said. Usually they would like maybe ram a boat and If they destroyed a rudder Which was rare they'd leave the boat afterwards, but one of there was a case a week or two ago Where they destroyed the rudder on a boat and Then the pod actually followed the boat all the way in as it was being towed in like we're still gonna try to destroy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like still trying to make sure hey gets out of our fucking area like now.

Speaker 2:

They view them as like, almost like threats, like another way. I'm like that's crazy. Well, they don't want their fish to get taken. Yeah, i mean, that's probably a pretty good Assessment, because we do we force, yeah, we force has a lot of our has a lot of this episode been about like Overfishing the oceans and like ocean talk. I feel like it has does it yeah, like we started back with the avatar thing where I was talking about that and we, you know, the human nature, is to be attracted to you.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, i mean I get that. I mean I don't know man, i don't other than the ocean, like getting kind of owned and me trying like really hard like the not to. Oh, i wrote a joke about um Straws and turtles, but I don't want to say it here because I think it's good and I think I want you.

Speaker 1:

I want to show up at the show. You can listen to it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, in the 28th You McCurdy's comedy club. I Think I might say that joke It's. It's pretty funny, it's pretty fun joke so far.

Speaker 1:

Well, don't tell me it, cuz I want to. Yeah, i don't, i don't want to tell you the joke.

Speaker 2:

Um, but yeah, guys, um, if you could like share or like I don't know We also have like a support button on our thing, like it's like three dollars, like you could do it, that'd be awesome.
