Jonathan (00:00) Hey, welcome to the show, all eleven of you. It is the Jonathan Weir show. the only show that talks about the Chiefs and then inexplicably talks about robots and AI. And today, ranch dressing. how you doing, Cody? Cody Akins (00:15) I I'm a little disappointed that in the show notes my white claw story didn't make the cut. Jonathan (00:19) I got it. I just didn't put it in there. I actually I talked about that last week on on the radio. So I have that one blocked up there. yeah, we're gonna talk about some white claw stuff. How many white claws would it take to get you to point one one six? Cody Akins (00:22) Yeah. Cody Akins (00:36) thirty four according to the report. Jonathan (00:38) Apparently 34. That's way too many. Also, Rasheed Rice is out of jail. I actually have a stat about Mahomes. I'm gonna do this, I think, weekly, a Mahomes stat of the week. It's gonna be interesting. And also, why one writer says that the Chiefs were deceptively good last year. Look, I am, I thought, the king of copium when it came to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jonathan (01:08) But this writer for fantasy football fantasy life puts me to shame. We'll talk about all that. but first of all, how you doing, Cody? Cody Akins (01:19) Not too bad. for those that are watching the video, you might notice it's a little bit different behind me. I I'm in my new recording studio slash game room this morning, so or this afternoon or evening whenever we're recording this. So I got huh? Jonathan (01:34) Why'd you move? Why'd you move? Cody Akins (01:38) We're getting ready to do some work downstairs and this room is a little bit more comfortable for my racing chair and things like that. This room is a square, my old s my old room was a rectangle and my racing chair kinda blocked the whole thing. and this room has a big window off to the side so my natural lighting looks a lot better. And it's upstairs so it's easy for me to sneak off and go do something and then come back. Jonathan (01:51) Mm-hmm. Jonathan (01:55) Yeah. Jonathan (02:03) You get that organic skin cancer from like coming through your window. I like that. also, it being in a square room, better better acoustics. It's a fact. The the greatest musicians record in square rooms. Cody Akins (02:19) Yeah, well you know, I got I also have T V behind me, TV next to me, Nintendo over there, computer in front of me. Jonathan (02:29) how is that different than every room in your house? Cody Akins (02:33) the bedroom doesn't have TV next to me. It has TV at the foot of bed. let's see here. We have bedroom TV. We have living room TV. I have two TVs in my room. Laura has TV in her room. And I have TV in pool room. Jonathan (02:38) okay. How many TVs do you have in your house? Jonathan (02:46) Mm-hmm. Jonathan (03:02) Let's see, I have my bedroom, here, the my office, living room, game room. I think we only have four. Slacking. I need to have one in every single room, regardless of how much time I might spend in it, just in case TV needs to be watched. Cody Akins (03:19) I used to have I used to have like this little nineteen inch T V in my bathroom at my house in Belton, but now we have tablets and phones so you don't need T V in front of your toilet no more. Jonathan (03:23) Yeah. Jonathan (03:29) you're a little bit younger than me, but what was the first TV you remember watching? Like as a kid, what was your first TV? Cody Akins (03:36) man. Like the manufacturer, or I want to say RCA. Jonathan (03:41) Yes. Jonathan (03:43) RCARs was the zenith, which that's how far back I guess both of ours go. They were American-made televisions. but they yeah, it was a zenith, and I'm I'm not a hundred percent sure about this, but I think it was it was sitting on what are those called? A TV tray. a TV dinner tray. Like it was a big thing in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Jonathan (04:11) for families to eat around the TV and you needed like a plate that attached to legs and you'd put there and then you could eat in front of it. And that's what I had. And that's what I ate off. Or that's what we ate off of. And I think we put a T V on top of that. Cody Akins (04:25) Gum impressed because like usually those TVs back then exceeded the weight limit of those metal, you know, T V trays. Jonathan (04:32) I sure did. I'm sure it didn't last long. I don't remember what happened to that TV. yeah. We had that and that it had, you know, three channels and I believe you had to change the channels with a with pliers because the the knob came off and the only way to turn it was with pliers. You never knew what t channel you were on. And it was also when like UHF and all that start coming around and and like there were some weird ass channels. I miss that. I miss when there were Yeah, go ahead. Cody Akins (04:47) No yeah. Cody Akins (04:59) Did did your did your rabbit ears have aluminum foil on them? Jonathan (05:03) God, yes. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we aluminum foil, wax paper, whatever would have worked. and Cody Akins (05:11) The friend with the coat hanger standing on top of the TV. Jonathan (05:14) And here I am forty years later, still watching TV through an antenna. Cody Akins (05:20) Yeah, but it's powered by the interwebs now. Jonathan (05:22) I guess so. It goes through the interwebs to to my TV. that's that's how I that's how I was I was watching soccer earlier, Cody. Cody Akins (05:32) Meh, it happens. Jonathan (05:33) James is really into soccer and he, you know, I was just being a good friend. And I was just telling him, like, sure, I'll watch your French team and Mbappe, who is a really good player, apparently. and I don't I don't know. I it's just not gonna happen. It's just never gonna happen for me. I'm waiting for my soccer moment to happen. I've I've had moments like that. I've always been a fan of football, always been a fan of baseball. Cody Akins (05:51) Yeah. Jonathan (06:01) Was not really that into basketball because I didn't grow up with an NBA team anywhere near me. I mean, I I watched Jordan in the 90s like everybody, but I wasn't that into it. and then my my basketball moment was when I was in Boston and I got free tickets to a Celtics game. I like, sure, let's go. And I fell in love with it and had a great time. I just I don't, unless somebody gets me tickets to the World Cup, I just don't think I'm I'm gonna have my soccer moment. Cody Akins (06:27) I do say though that I I love the fact that the Simpsons made another prediction that came true during this tournament where the the US beat the Australians. Jonathan (06:36) yeah. What an accomplishment. I don't even are they supposed to be good. I have this thing where I just assume any country that's kind of large and not us is probably better than us at soccer. But we mean Cody Akins (06:50) Well, I don't look, I'm not gonna pretend I know how the whole tournament bracket works or anything like that, but yesterday I was reading. Yeah. There's there's groups and then a knockout round, but apparently Mexico and US were the only two teams to make it into the the thirty two knockout round with one game left to spare. So apparently everybody else sucks except for the the Mexicans and the US people. Jonathan (06:57) I don't even yeah, there's like groups. There's my god, it's like quantum it's Jonathan (07:17) A and the so the two home countries besides Canada, I guess. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I mean the messy thing last week, he got a hat trick. That was kinda cool. Cody Akins (07:21) Yeah. Jonathan (07:31) It's not gonna happen. Cody Akins (07:32) Messi remains undefeated at Arrowhead, which is something that Derek Carr could only dream of doing. Jonathan (07:38) I think I saw the statistic last week is that Messi has more wins at Arrowhead than Derek Carr. Yeah. Cody Akins (07:43) Yeah, he's he's two and why der while Derek Carr remains one and nine. Jonathan (07:47) All right. so let's kick off with some the Mahomes stat of the week. That's what I'm gonna do. okay, hold on a second. Let me scroll down a little bit. All right. So this is from Scott Kaxmer, who is a blogger. I think he is a researcher for pro football reference, which is probably the best stat site on the interwebs there. And he has an interesting statistic here. Jonathan (08:17) It's the record when backup quarterbacks start since the big since becoming a full time starter. So how well these guys backup quarterback did. So Johnny Unitis has a 32 and 13 record. Roger Sawback is 24 and 11. Tom Brady is 13 and six. Now, after seeing those three, Cody, what do you think this stat is portending? What what what do you think this means? Cody Akins (08:47) Dude, I don't have the foggiest idea where we're going with this. Jonathan (08:50) So it means that your backup, if they have a winning percentage of seven, seven hundred, six eighty-six, or six eighty-four, it means your team is really good. Maybe you're not that good of a quarterback. Maybe your team was really good. Hmm. Interesting. to hammer that point and drive it home. Here's the statistics for the backup quarterback for Peyton Manning. Jonathan (09:18) Seven and sixteen. And then below him, you got Patrick Mahomes. His backup quarterbacks have a 250 only win 25% of the time. They are two and six. so the statistic being there, Cody, it's not the team, it's Mahomes. But everybody wants everybody wants to be like, he's just looking as Andy Reid. Cody Akins (09:44) Yeah, okay. Jonathan (09:48) Really? Or is Andy Reid lucky that he has him? Cody Akins (09:51) Man, look at Matthew Stafford though too. That was Jonathan (09:54) Yeah, well, Matthew Savard, I mean, if you paid attention to the Lions, he was carrying that team. Him and Megatron were carrying that team forever. Now, here's the real thing I want to talk about there, besides just one more statistic telling us that Mahomes is great. Jonathan (10:11) Two backup quarterback wins. And the bat it wasn't that they came into the game, they had to start the game. You understand? What were those two wins? Cody Akins (10:19) Yep. Jonathan (10:23) I got but it took me a minute. Jonathan (10:28) 'Cause it's not just remembering a backup quarterback, it's also remembering that they started the game and didn't come in. Jonathan (10:36) So like Chad Henney versus the Browns, no, because he came into the game. Chad Henney versus the Jaguars. Again, he came into the game in that those playoff games. Cody Akins (10:46) I feel like we gotta go back to that first Super Bowl run. It had to have been after Mahomes dislocated his knee. Jonathan (10:51) That's one of them. That's one of So they won the game against the Broncos, but Mahomes left. So that one doesn't count. And then they played the Packers and then the Vikings. Which one of those two games do they win? Cody Akins (11:05) Right. Cody Akins (11:14) the Packers. we lost. Jonathan (11:15) They lost it to the Packers, but it was a good game. it was Matt Moore, the high school football coach that like got called because it was supposed to be it was Mahomes, and Chad Henney got hurt hurt earlier in the season or in preseason. So they had Matt Moore, the third stringer, come in, and he was actually pretty good. and so he won one of those games. Do you remember what the second? Jonathan (11:43) win by a quarterback starting for Mahomes. okay. So obviously not Carson Wentz getting blown out by the donkeys. Right? That was horrible. Obviously none of the games last year with the Lodokan coming in. Or who was was it Oladukin and who I mean What's his face got hurt. I can never remember his name. Jared Stidum. No, it's not Jared Stidum. The the shorts guy. Cody Akins (11:43) No, not at all. Cody Akins (12:09) No Minshew. Jonathan (12:13) Minshew, yeah. Gardner Minshew. he got injured too. So he might have done better. They might have at least beat the Titans. Cody Akins (12:15) The porn star. Jonathan (12:24) It was Blaine Gabbart in 2023 against the Chargers. It was the last game of the season. The Chiefs sat most of their starters. I think Chris Jones, it was the game Chris Jones needed a sack to get like a huge bonus. And the whole game he was getting close until finally he got it, and then he just went fucking ballistic. and yeah, and so it was the Jonathan (12:53) Blaine Gabbergade. They won thirteen to twelve, which is one of the weirdest scores in the history of the NFL. It was, I believe. Yeah. let me let me check. Hold on. Scoragami. Cody Akins (12:58) Was it a scoregami? Cody Akins (13:04) I feel like that score could have happened before. Jonathan (13:08) Thirteen is tough. Cody Akins (13:10) it's it's a touchdown and or two touchdowns and a missed extra point. Jonathan (13:14) Thirteen to twelve. yeah, okay. It wasn't a score, Gami. well. but I th I it's only happened twice though. other than that. It has only happened twice. So I I don't know. I l I love that stat. And it it really it was a nice walk down memory lane for me. Is sometimes you need to be reminded of just how dominant this team has been. Cody Akins (13:23) Yeah, I didn't think so. Jonathan (13:43) And just how good Mahomes has been, that and and just how the evidence is there, and yet people are still like he's carried by Andy Reed. Really, really. You it's it's just these arguments that you made with Tom Brady that were true, and now you're carrying them over. It's it's it's the Tom Brady, and I'm not saying Andy Reid's a bad coach, but Andy Reid had years with Alex Smith. Jonathan (14:12) He had years with all of it with all the quarterbacks in Philadelphia. He had Michael Vick, for God's sake. Still wasn't good enough. Now that was post-dog conviction, but still. all right. So Rasheed Rice is out of jail. it was pretty funny watching the video of him getting chased around by the reporters when he left jail. don't know if you saw that, but the I he it his knee looks fine. Cody Akins (14:36) Yeah. Jonathan (14:41) I'll say that. Cody Akins (14:42) He he was able to scra scramble through the reporter line, that was for sure. Jonathan (14:46) I wish I knew Kevin Harlan because if I did, I would have him do like that, like it's a play by play. And Rasheed scrambles towards the door, heads right, cuts left. yeah. And he he did. He made it home. Andy Reid said that he's, you know, they're looking forward to having him back. There's a lot of speculation about what the Chiefs are doing about the wide receiver room and things like that. Cody Akins (15:00) He could go all the way home. Jonathan (15:15) Nick Wright made a really good point on first things first today. And I'm just gonna say I I again this is probably copium stuff, but I think he's right. The Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes and they pay Patrick Mahomes. Jonathan (15:36) You're i the idea of having another Tyreek Hill is probably not gonna happen. The idea of having maybe even another Travis Kelsey is that's a unicorn to begin with, right? But you can have good guys and still win. Jonathan (15:52) And the way you have good guys is by having consistency and accountability. So with the Chiefs, and this is what Nick Wright said. And I'm not saying he's a mouthpiece for the Chiefs, but he definitely is friends with Andy Reid and Mahomes and my god, my brain isn't working. Who's the GM for the Chiefs? Beach, yeah, Brett Beach. I always said Brett Reed. that would have bad. Yeah. Cody Akins (16:15) Beach. Cody Akins (16:20) Yeah. Jonathan (16:22) Anyway, he's I know he's I know he's friends with Brett Veach. I I it seems like what he was saying is their strategy this year is they think they have the pieces. The problem last year, and they kept saying this over and over again. that's what Xavier Worthy just said in a press conference. He was like, they they were asking him like what's different about the coaching. And he's like, Well, what I like is we learn things. Jonathan (16:49) When we're out there practicing that have to do with the installs that we're doing that day. So, like we're learning new plays, but then we're learning techniques that go along with those new plays. And it's just like they weren't doing that last year. Like, that's great that they're that that that's happening now, but they're not, they weren't doing that. That seems basic. Like, hey, you're gonna be you're gonna be doing a cut route on this. Maybe work on cutting during practice. There was just nothing. And so the chief strategy is we have the pieces. Cody Akins (17:15) Well Jonathan (17:19) We just need the coaches. Cody Akins (17:21) Well, when your offensive coordinator is drawing his fing playbook with crayons, you know. Jonathan (17:28) I mean, I don't know how else you're gonna expect Rasheed Rice to read him. It's nice having a scapegoat on the team again, you know? I I missed it. I missed it. so yeah, he's out of jail. I again, it seems like their strategy is let's just coach this to success. We'll see if it works. And I I mean you especially need good coaching when i Andy's probably lost his fastball a little bit. I Jonathan (17:58) I'll I'll say this. There's also an article out, and I mentioned this in the intro. Basically from Fantasy Life making the argument, Ian Hartes said this that the Chiefs weren't really that bad last year. He says, quote, look, it wasn't like the six and eleven Chiefs were a horrible football team. The offense still possessed weekly boom upside with number 15 under center, and the defense was one of the league's best all around units. Jonathan (18:27) Their plus 34 point differential was better than the 11 and 6 Chargers, who were only a plus 28. Unfortunately, the regression gods came for this squad in a major way. The Chiefs dropped to just one and nine in one score games, which is eight points. One year removed from 11-0 Sheesh. look, this is this is where I was saying I thought I was the king of copium, but I'm gonna have to. Jonathan (18:56) Take issue with this. One, point differential doesn't mean shit. We've learned that when the Chiefs have gone to the Super Bowl with a negative point differential, it doesn't matter. Because you could win every single game and then lose every if every single game you win, you win by three points. But every single game you lose, maybe three or four, you lose by 40, your point differential looks really bad. Doesn't mean. Jonathan (19:25) That you don't know how to win. It just means you sometimes get blown out. And the Chiefs point differential was better last year, because I don't know if you know if you remember this, but we blew out a couple of teams. The Raiders, the Ravens, the Lions to an extent. Jonathan (19:42) The Redskins were not the Redskins, Jesus. the commanders were in there somewhere. So point differential doesn't mean anything when you can't when you lose that clutch gene. And that's what they lost last year. And I I do feel to an extent that that's just bad luck because, you know, la the year before, they won a game against the Raiders that the Raiders should have easily won, but they fumbled the ball at the last minute. You and I were and Finn. Jonathan (20:12) And and your wife were watching the game against the Broncos. If if Leo Chennaul, if his finger is just a little bit shorter, that's a loss. There were several games like that where they just got lucky and they were amazing at winning one score games the year before. I think they were 11 and 0. So it's not about it's not about Cody Akins (20:15) dude. Jonathan (20:39) blowing teams out. It's about doing those little things and they lost that edge. I think part of it is teams aren't afraid of them anymore. I think another part of it is it's just regression. Luck runs out. I don't think it's a real thing, but I do think it can look like a real thing. Cody Akins (21:00) No, they will be afraid. They will be. Jonathan (21:02) Well well, Yoda, I think that the the I think it will matter this year. Jonathan (21:12) How teams view them because last year they didn't have a run game. They had a good offensive line, but they didn't have anybody who could do anything behind it. And because of that, teams were lining up in light packages, daring them to run the ball, knowing that they couldn't. Like you could stop them on the run with dime, you know? So what we're what we're what was there to be afraid of? Now you got Kenneth Walker who can actually run. Jonathan (21:41) we'll see like if Brashard Smith develops a little bit more. I I'm curious about that. yeah. So they b hopefully they'll be afraid again. Cody Akins (21:53) No, they s they see that six and eleven record and all the other teams are like, my my my the Chiefs are our human after all. And the ask ask shooter McGaffin how that worked out when he said that about Happy Gilmore. Jonathan (21:58) Yeah. Jonathan (22:03) I I will say though, in defense of that article, six and eleven is a little misleading when those what three of those, four of those losses came with Mahomes out. Like, I don't have any doubt that they would have at least finished above 500 if Mahomes doesn't get hurt in that Chargers game. I d he would have figured it out. In fact, I know they wouldn't have lost that Chargers game. Jonathan (22:33) I know it. You can say, Well, they both No, I know they wouldn't have. Cody Akins (22:38) Yeah. And I and I still remember that sad night being your D D driving you home from the Texans game after we lost. Jonathan (22:47) It was like the it did feel weird, didn't it? Like I've never been to a game where they lost, first of all. And second of all, it felt like a playoff loss. Cause it just felt like the season was over. Cody Akins (23:00) Like O and foreign games I've been to in person. let's see here. That first AFC championship game we lost, I went to that one. the Texans game we lost, I went to that one. my very first Chiefs game was a preseason game between the Rams and the Chiefs. Now I was a Rams fan at the time. so technically I won that day because I was still a Rams fan, but the Chiefs lost on that one. Jonathan (23:03) Really? What games have they have you been to? Jonathan (23:10) Yeah. Jonathan (23:25) This isn't about you winning. This is about the if the Chiefs won. Yeah. Cody Akins (23:30) Yeah, and then man, I wanna say it was it was the year I turned twenty five, I think. So eleven years ago, it was the Titans and the Chiefs and it was our home opener and we lost that one too. Jonathan (23:50) all right, well lesson learned. Next time I get tickets. You sit your ass at home. Wes really? He already reached out. He didn't he didn't invite me? Cody Akins (23:56) it's it's too late. Our buddy already said he's gonna invite me to another game this season. So Yeah, yeah. Cody Akins (24:05) I don't know man. He asked me a computer question. He says, We'll do it again this season. I was like, All right Jonathan (24:09) Okay. All right. Well, I think I'm part of that we. anyway. I I'm about to tell you, Cody. you apparently have been harassing Englishmen. let me let me just pull something. I just want to share something. Yeah, yeah, hold on. I need to share something with you in the class. hold on a second. Because I I don't I don't think that this is cool. Cody Akins (24:29) What? Jonathan (24:39) I don't think this is okay. And I don't know why you thought you'd be able to get away with it. Hold on. Cody Akins (24:43) Hold on, do I need to call my wife in for this one? Do I need an alibi? 'Cause I don't know what the fuck is going on. Jonathan (24:47) here. Okay. God, will you be able to hear this? Is the question. Hold on. I think. So if I have that on, hopefully it doesn't. Okay. so a player for the English the English soccer team, his name is Ali Watkins. Apparently got harassed by Cody Akins. Listen to this. Jonathan (25:18) If you can. Is it playing? Son of a bitch. Is it not playing? Can you hear it? No? you could hear it? Yeah. Son of a bitch. Why could I couldn't hear it? All right. Well, I'll fix this. banana, banana, banana. All right, here's Ollie Watkins talking about Cody Akins harassing him. Cody Akins (25:27) Yeah. Yeah. Jonathan (26:02) Yeah. Yeah. Jonathan (26:11) Okay. So explain yourself, sir. Cause you're the only person I can think of that cares about the Cowboys in this city enough to harass a man for wearing a cowboys jersey. It's funny you would mention that. Cody Akins (26:24) It's funny you would mention this because I go to therapy every Friday night and my therapist listens to the show. And he listened to last week's episode about my tirade on the Cowboys. And he had to ask, he's like, what's your fucking problem with this? Jonathan (26:29) Mm-hmm. Jonathan (26:33) Okay. Jonathan (26:42) What does he deal with the Cowboys? It's the weirdest thing. I was we talked about it today on the air and I was like, I don't know anybody in Kansas City who wait, no, I know one person who hates the Cowboys. And I didn't I didn't say your name because I didn't want to associate Akins PC with if there's Cowboys fans out there and want them to be like, Well, I guess I'm not going into Cody's shop. But yeah. Cody Akins (26:55) Wait. Cody Akins (27:07) Yeah. Jonathan (27:08) You're the only person I know who would say that to somebody in a cowboys jersey in Kansas City. Cody Akins (27:12) again, man, it's it's not so much the Cowboys that is just Jerry Jones and Dak Prescott. Jonathan (27:19) Wha Dak Prescott of all people, he's like the nicest guy. Cody Akins (27:23) If he was the nicest guy, he'd spread the money around the team. Jonathan (27:27) I get Jerry Jones, but Dak Prescott. So you could say the same thing about Mahomes. If he's such a nice guy, why did he take a pay cut? They can get better players. Cody Akins (27:39) I mean he's restructured his contract like nine hundred times. Jonathan (27:41) Okay. All right. All right. So stop harassing the guests, please. Cody Akins (27:47) Well, if if people would bring me more computers to work on, I'd have less time to harass foreign soccer players. Jonathan (27:51) Yeah. Jonathan (27:54) All right, hey, what's going on at Aiken's PC repair there, Cody? Things going great when you're not harassing English soccer players? Cody Akins (28:05) Well, yeah, you know, in in my free time of harassing famous soccer players, or or no football players, however you wanna put it, yeah, we're working on a lot of computers right now. Scams are they are common at the moment and Cody Akins (28:25) The one we actually seen last week was one of the craziest ones I've seen. The scammer actually took the time to send a link, design it as a Zoom link, change the icon to look like Zoom, and change the file name to Zoom. And it actually installed remote control software on the client's computer. Right. And the only red flag on this was the fact that when you clicked the link, it downloaded a zipped file. Jonathan (28:40) my god. Jonathan (28:44) my god. Cody Akins (28:52) It I mean, they they changed the icon, they changed the name. If you didn't know what you were looking at, it looked legit. yeah. Jonathan (28:58) How do they they send it through email or how do they send it to Okay. Cody Akins (29:01) They send it through email. They were trying to schedule an appointment and they're like, hey, click this Zoom link. And my my client fell for it. Luckily, we got them taken care of. folks, if you think you're gonna click on something that you're not sure about, our piece of mind plan is just fifteen bucks a month. We cover all the labor and the cybersecurity on your computer. So if you have that habit of clicking on things you're not supposed to, we will clean it up and it's included in your subscription. Jonathan (29:28) So how does that work if I I click I I like just blindly clicking on any link that I see. Blue is my favorite color and I just click on it.

Jonathan (29:44) Yeah. Jonathan (29:55) All right. go to Akens PC, get the peace of mind plan for only how much a month? That is a steal. go to Akins PC repair, Akins PC repair.com to get that deal right now. speaking of scams, I I put this in the prep. but I I have another thing to talk about here too. There's apparently AI is setting people up for a bunch of scams right now. Because if somebody just makes a post on Reddit or Cora Cody Akins (29:59) Fifteen bucks a month. Jonathan (30:24) Or even Wikipedia and other places that are user generated, they can within 13 words. They don't say what the 13 words are, but they say it in 13 words, it can trick ChatGPT and Grok. they didn't I didn't think they said Claude, but it was it was basically any L L into making it seem like whatever service you're offering is the best one. Jonathan (30:53) So, like if you're saying, hey, I I want what what's the best earbuds? I need to, I need some good earbuds because people are using ChatGPT and other AI like Google now. What are the best earbuds? It there'll be a Reddit post saying, the best earbuds are these sendheiser two one five seven issues. And you go and you click on the link and then you get Jonathan (31:23) A virus on your computer. And even if it's not a virus, it's also not the best product. But now ChatGPT thinks it is because it trusts Reddit implicitly. So I guess my question is, why don't you just go back a couple of years where everybody was just searching for stuff and then putting Reddit at the end of it? Cody Akins (31:44) Yeah. Well, I mean, you know how much research went into this fancy T V sitting behind me? My my my new Samsung sixty five inch O Led, you know, we I had to compare that to the old L G sixty five inch O LED for the same price. Jonathan (31:58) Yeah. I mean, I it's you it is tough because you want to get the best of something. Everything is scammy and a ripoff, and you can't even it used to be you could trust good brand names. Like if something was cr black and decker, like people knew that was good, and then they got bought up by you know one of these Jonathan (32:26) vampire companies, these vultures, and now they suck. It just keeps happening with stuff. Cody Akins (32:31) I mean, that that happened in in my job. there was a company that I've been using that had really good backup and internet failover systems and things like that. And I used to sell the hell out of their products. And they got bought up by another company a couple of years ago. They discontinued the internet failover and it seems like every month when I I I was getting reports that backups were failing and this and that and everything else and Cody Akins (33:01) And like this new company took it over and just gutted it. And I have been I have been doing everything in my power to get out of my contracts and find alternatives for my customers and things like that. It's just been terrible. Jonathan (33:13) It I the I we had the worst story today. it was about this i i a nursing home in Waldo that is now defunct. it has nothing to do with it being a nursing home, it's just an old building. And they went out of business and then they got bought out. And whoever owned them before was at least keeping up and like mowing the grass and everything like that, right? Then somebody bought them and just went let it go to shit. They don't vac they don't vacuum. They they don't Jonathan (33:42) Mow the grass, they put up some some shoddy chain link fence that's really easy to crawl underneath. So people are going into the building and stealing all the copper out of it. it's like homeless people living in the building. There's like a tent city and stuff around it. And the neighbors are complaining. And I and we were like talking about it. Like, why would somebody do this? Why would somebody buy a property and let it go to shit? And the answer is because, well, then they can ride it off. Because Jonathan (34:10) It works as a fail it like a failed investment that they can then run against. I don't know how things work, but then they can basically say, like, hey, I lost this much money this year, so give me a break on my taxes. Cody Akins (34:22) I I can't say as a business owner I've never had enough money to own property related to my business. Jonathan (34:27) You j you rent a conspc repair? Cody Akins (34:31) I I've rent the store. Like, I mean Jonathan (34:33) For God's sake, people, go to Cody and get your shit fixed so he can own a thing. Paying rent. I'm actually gonna be paying I I've given up on the idea of home ownership. I'm just gonna be renting for the rest of my life. I I'm I'm fine with it. Cody Akins (34:52) I I mean, I'll own I'll own my house in twenty seven more years. Jonathan (34:57) Yeah. Yeah. See, I don't have time for that. In twenty-seven years, I'll be seventy-two. I don't need that. anyway. last couple stories. Ranch dressing. Now, it's funny because a bunch of Europeans are coming here. Well, people from all over the world are coming to the United States to watch the World Cup. And something they're falling in love with is ranch dressing. One Jonathan (35:26) I don't know about you, Cody. I didn't think it was an American thing. I assume this was a British thing because it's bland and white. I would assume that's where it came from, but apparently, no. It is ranch dressing, is mayonnaise with some spice in it, I guess, and people cannot get enough of it to the point where the TSA had to say, Hey, you can't bring it on the plane and stop chugging it in the line. Cody Akins (35:52) I always thought ranch was a Midwestern thing. But Yeah. But now yeah, now there's a TSA friendly kit. Jonathan (35:55) Mm-hmm. Jonathan (35:57) Yeah, I think it definitely is. I think I think it definitely is a Midwestern thing. I but I assumed it it like, you know, it it at least came from England originally, and then we just took it over. so Kraft is pouncing on this. They have hold on. Kraft announced it's working on creating a TSA compliant version of Ranch, a travel-friendly way to bring the taste of America home. Jonathan (36:26) It it's just teasing it, so we don't know what it is, but I'm assuming it's smaller than three point four ounces, so you can get it on a plane. Cody Akins (36:33) I don't know, but ranch in America's about to become harder to get than oil. Jonathan (36:38) Hey, no, the the war's over. wait, no, it's back on. No, it's over again. yeah, I I d I I don't know. It it's I I feel like this weird patriotism right now where people are coming over to America and celebrating it, but at the same time, all the things they're celebrating aren't good. Like, I mean they're they're good, but they're not like okay. Jonathan (37:07) It would be like, hey, Billy, I've noticed she's been spending a lot of time at Jared's house. It is like, do you just like going over there? Are you guys really good friends? I fucking hate Jared. Jared's the worst, but his mom is a great cook. That's what it feels like. No, Jared's a nerd, a big gay nerd, but his mom, she's such a better cook than you. the portions too. I just go over there for meals, mom. That's what it feels like is happening right now. Cody Akins (37:22) No. Cody Akins (37:34) Texas Roadhouse, Whataburger, and Waffle House are about to go international Jonathan (37:42) Yeah, that's what they all come here and they're like, the food is so good. The only thing it it's given me is like, Yes, this is why we're fat. Do you get it now? Stop making fun of us and realize that we are fat because we have better food than you. Cody Akins (37:59) The world may suck, but we've got good munchies. And in Missouri we have the stores to help you get the munchies. Jonathan (38:03) Ha ha ha Jonathan (38:07) yeah, that's true. I wonder I'm gonna if I'm going nuts about legal weed. I mean, I guess not the people from the Netherlands, but you know. yeah. So there we go. That's the World Cup stuff. and then finally you want to talk about this. a guy in Florida, of course it was Florida, was pulled over for drunk driving and they looked into his car. They counted not one, not two, not three, not four, not fourteen, not fifteen, but Jonathan (38:37) 34 White Claws. Now, I don't know what the BAC level is if I drank 34 white claws, but this guy's BAC blood alcohol content was point, I I think I said earlier point eleven. No, it was point seventeen, which is a little bit over double the legal limit. You're pretty drunk if you're at point 17, okay? Jonathan (39:05) But thirty four white claws. Jonathan (39:09) Either it was a long drive or white claws are exactly as advertised, just the sorority girl drink. Cody Akins (39:19) I I know I was I was doom scrolling through Facebook one day, and I don't know how an ad for Whiteclaw came across my feed. At this point my algorithm on Facebook is so broken I I've given up. But it was I I remember the tagline because my comment got me suspended from their page. it was Whiteclaw. Cody Akins (39:45) The tailgate drink of choice. And I was like, where are you tailgating where White Claw's the drink of choice? A fucking tennis match? Jonathan (39:55) Yeah. Jonathan (39:59) yeah, I I I was trying to think maybe like a a project runway watch party. Is that? Cody Akins (40:07) I mean, what what is the alcohol content of a can of white claw? Jonathan (40:11) I think it's point four. I don't think it's white claw. Hold on. A B V. no, actually it's it's point it's it's five percent. Okay. Cody Akins (40:18) I I I kinda Cody Akins (40:22) Wow. See I kinda thought, what is it? alcohol was to white claw that flavor was to what's what's that one like really crappy carbonated beverage where it's like almost carbonated water with just a hint of flavor to it? Nah, I don't know. It's it's Jonathan (40:43) Fresca? duh but the the yeah, I know what you're talking about. Cody Akins (40:49) But it's it's like someone made the joke where they had to do a recall because they put too much flavor in one of their drinks one time. Jonathan (40:54) I think my mom has those. Yeah, that look, fresca is by the way, making a hard drink, a hard fresca. You know, for the people that white claw was too heavy for. That's what that is. Like fresco's like, you know what? No, no, we we need to go after the really, really diet market. Jonathan (41:18) Like they got they got that eating disorder. We're gonna get this eating disorder. so yeah, I I don't know. I I know there was a story about a woman. her husband, it was a she he look yeah, LaCroix. Yeah. I knew it was I wanted to say Dasani, but that ain't right. Yeah, LaCroix. there was a story about a woman whose husband was pulled over for drinking and driving, and he was drinking a white claw. Cody Akins (41:32) LaCroix. Cody Akins (41:37) Yeah. Jonathan (41:48) He now, to be fair, he wasn't driving drunk, but he was pulled over for something else. And then the cop came up to the car and saw the white claw. He like, Sir, are you drinking? And he's like, Yeah, I just got this. And he's like, You do realize that's 5% alcohol, right? And he goes, it's a white claw. And he started drinking it in front of the officer. He thought it was an energy drink. And he had been drinking them every day on the way to work for like a week. Jonathan (42:15) Cause his wife was like, Hey, what I bought white gloss for the weekend. Where'd they go? Husband was drinking them on the way to work, then showing up going, like, God, I'm kinda sleepy. Cody Akins (42:25) I had a I had a buddy whose young toddler decided to pack his lunch one day for him. Thought he was packing him energy drinks and packed him two natty lights Jonathan (42:36) Ha ha ha. Jonathan (42:39) energy drinks and like anti energy. There's matter, there's antimatter. Cody Akins (42:42) Now, have you have you ever played the Mario Kart drinking game? Jonathan (42:50) No, but my producers told me about this. let's end on this because it's it's pretty great though. Cody Akins (42:52) Yeah, so so for those of you who don't know how the Mario Kart drinking game works, you you all start out with the same size drink and you have to finish the drink before you race or before you finish the race, or it doesn't count. Cody Akins (43:07) At the same time, you also cannot drink while you're driving. So you have to plan strategically during the race to either like just chug the whole drink before you take off, get right to the finish line, stop and then chug your drink, or you have to pull off to the side of the road each lap and then take a drink. Because drinking and driving is irresponsible. it's just a Jonathan (43:29) Right. Drinking and then driving on the other hand is fine. Cody Akins (43:35) So that tha that was always just a fun little drinking game that I remember from the olden days. Jonathan (43:40) I I I haven't incorporated video games and drinking since I think me and James used to hang out at his house. And that wasn't intentional. It's just we were drinking every single night and we ha also happened to be playing video games. But I miss it. All right. That's a show. Love everybody. Bye.
