Chunga Don't Pick That... That's Blood...

26 days 26 miles I walked Yeah. Or jogged. One of the two. Yogged. Yogged a soft J in there. Yeah. My friends, the streak has come to an end after 26 days. You were streaking? Oh, damn. Doing the mile a day challenge like everybody else is doing, and I regret to inform all of you I have had to stop. You're on pause. What? Yeah. What happened, bud? What happened? I'm a danger to myself. Did you get the runs, dude? Did you get runs really bad? Did I get the runs? No, but we have done it with the runs. We have done it. Oh, damn. Our time's pretty quick. It's fun to watch the heart rate monitor go up unless you get to home. And the finishing time. I got all kinds of badges on my Apple Watch. Okay.

so here's what's in a way I'm kind of glad this happened not even close to glad it happened but in a way there's a silver lining to it which is you guys all get to see me fail and start again because I have to start all over again he's not perfect he's falling from his mantle I have what was that the Jimmy Swagger I can't remember Jimmy Swagger when he was like I have said never mind nobody remembers chunk of your old so He was a televangelist. He was one of those guys. He was one of the original televangelists. They found him with some crazy hooker and piles of money everywhere that he was setting on fire. Nice. Yeah, it was wild. No, that's probably not the best place to go. So here's what happened.

I'm so mad. It's like the weirdest. I know. It's like the weirdest. I'm hurt. I got hurt. Yeah, you're on IR. Injury reserve. Yeah. You didn't slip a ball on something, did you? Well, you're in Vegas. It can happen. It's a thing. Did the table lay get bulked in pocket? So we have bulked in here. I've got three HOAs that we pay for. Three freaking HOAs. And part of the HOA is you don't have to go to the dump. You don't ever have to go to the dump. Oh, they brought the roll-offs around?

Yeah, well, kind of where they, you know, you do the bulk day. What's a roll off? Well, I don't know what a roll off is. Oh, that's what you put your bulk garbage into. Oh, okay. So, yes. Yeah, they're really big, yeah. But we don't have to. So, it's crazy because we put out stuff and then people kind of wander the streets and decide what they want. Yes. And then they take it. And then the bulk guys come and they just pick it up and they haul it off. And you can take out anything you want. A mattress or like huge stuff. Like whole entertainment centers. Desks and everything. So, you injured yourself by perusing a used mattress and somebody else's front yard. Somebody had some old, somebody had an old pub table and some old, no. So, I was taking out, taking out some stuff for bulk day. Yeah.

I can't even remember what it was. It was like an old pedal board. We were just picking up the studio. Just old music gear that we don't need. Like a broken microphone stand. Guitar racks that are broken. Just old stuff. Even some stuff that we carried from the move like over five years ago now that made its way here. And we're just like, it's still sitting in a box in the studio. Like everything goes. So I'm taking some stuff out for bulk day. And I don't, it's a windy day. It had been a windy couple of days. And even though it was warm and lovely. And I had my flip flops on because it's not 22 here in Vegas. It's like 75. It is 75. Oh man.

And it's kind of dark, right? We've gone for our walk. I've changed out of, you know, our jog, our yog. And Chandler's grabbing stuff. I'm grabbing stuff. Shannon's like, do we want this? We want this. So we're just hauling stuff outside on the curb because bulk days go. Yeah.

And I set some stuff down, and I go to turn my foot. And my foot, I've got new flip-flops on, so nooks. I have new flip-flops on that I got for Christmas, and they're not quite broken in yet, so they're kind of flat, and my foot hasn't sunk in. You don't have the difference of your flip-flop. Yeah, on my heel. So I turn, and my foot slides off the flip-flop. And then I feel something kind of strange on the heel of my foot. Oh. And I was like, what? Was it? No. Was it a must-be hot dog bun? It was actually a broken bottle. Oh, jeez. Damn. So I slice the heel of my foot.

all the way across my heel. Across the entire radius. It's like the equator of my heel. I've got a big, but it's not just a cut. So it was kind of an angled glass thing. So imagine, if you will, you take a potato peeler, but then you hold it the long way, not the sideways. And then you just pull it along your heel. So I shaved off.

a big-ass chunk of my heel that's about, I don't know, a quarter of an inch wide. And about, what, four inches long? Yeah, all the way across my heel. All the way across your heel. And it's really neat. It's so wide that I can't really get stitches for it. Yeah. Because it's so wide. Glue? Yeah, I put some glue on it, actually. It was a big old piece of chunk of jerky just stuck on the bottom. Some birds started fighting over it. The skin of my heel literally curled off like a curly fry. Yeah. It was so gross. Yeah, I don't even know quite how it actually... And it was so fast, you guys. It was just kind of a... And it happened. And I went...

Well, that felt weird. I think I just stepped on a rock or something, and I paid no attention to it. I literally paid beyond just going, oh, I think I just stepped on a sharp rock or something. So then I go walking into the house and notice that my flip-flop is sticky. And I'm not paying attention. I literally sit down, cross my leg, grab a piece of pizza. Chandler. You brought your own sauce. Yeah, so I walk in from being outside just finishing up putting a couple things down. I sit there with a piece of pizza. You're sitting on the table. Papa Murphy's, double pepperoni, by the way, no sauce. Eating a piece of pizza with just blood everywhere. I'm not paying attention.

And Chandler walks in and he goes, oh my gosh. And Shannon didn't notice. No. And he goes, dad, dad, dad, put the pizza down. He goes, oh my gosh, are you okay? Are you okay? Chandler starts like freaking out. John McClane, level of blood. Like when he cuts his foot at Nakatomi Plaza and there's blood all over the tile, like Rusty's freaked out. It's on the floor. What are you doing? What are you doing? And I was like, oh my gosh. I looked down and I was like, you've got to be kidding me. Shannon's like.

what have you done? My flip-flop is totally soaked. Like, totally soaked and there's blood and it's literally dripping off my foot, down my other leg, but it's body temperature so I don't realize it. You have no idea. You have no idea. Everywhere. I'm bleeding all over the house. Full blood just like John McClane. I was like, wow, dude. You know, I've had somewhere similar experience to that. Well, not cutting my heel like that and not realizing it, but there's been many times where I've gotten like...

massive cuts on my leg that have bled and i don't even notice any pain until i actually see the wound and i'm like oh my gosh right yeah when did that happen i don't know it just happened so that's exactly what happened to me i knew i had stepped on something sharp i knew i had done something but then i just didn't think about it i was like whatever it stinks but it's fine well many years ago i actually cut my foot open on the beach on a razor clam that was hidden in the sand oh yeah clams are the very sharp edge things and it went straight through the bottom of my foot and then basically sliced like right down the middle of my foot from my arm all the way down to my heel it isn't a problem when you first do it mate it is one of the most painful recoveries on an injury you can have because it hurts like hell it will bruise all those muscle and tissue making all the heel it's it's gonna be a minute before you're up and kind of running so it's funny that you bring that up chris because my foot is purple yeah and i'm sitting down to do the show for the first time ever i tried to stand i made it about 10 minutes and i can't make it so i've been off i've been staying off my foot and um part of the problem is is that you know your head and your feet are very vascular so even a small cut oh yeah so anytime i step on it i'm leaking everywhere so you know this this happened on at night right and so like even even the next day where you're like hey

Like I think I'm okay I think I'm good to do the mile I'm like what are you talking about You're not okay And you go yeah You start walking Your football was like And it started leaking again And I was like no there's no way It's really bad You're absolutely right So yeah it was um It was one of those things, to your point, Chris, that it wasn't that painful at first, but now the nerves have all woken up, and now it's excruciating. And it's so wide that you can't really stitch it. So I put super glue on it to try and... And so I'm cleaning it, cleaning it, and I'm thinking that it's okay, and then I'll stand on it, and then I'm bleeding all over the house again. I think one of my favorite things is, and it's such a hockey player move, right? Because you're like, oh yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine. This is the first night, right when it happened, right? This is before the super glue went on, and I was like, okay, cool. I need to run upstairs and go to the bathroom really quick and change, and then I'm going to come back down. And as I come back down, you put two tiny little band-aids for the cuts. That was it. And these two things are

Dear life. It did nothing. It was just dripping out of the bed. Okay. That's not going to work. No, not a chance. So do we need to get you some of those like kneel on scooter things where people break the legs? You know what I call that now? I call it the Mark Pearson. Yeah, the Mark Pearson one. Yes. Yeah. It's kind of, I mean, yeah. So I've been up and around on it a little bit today and I said to Shannon, I'm like, I think I can start this again. She's like, it's been a day. You can't go for a mile walk. I said, no, I'm cool. I'm just going to stand on it for a little bit. So I'm literally standing there. I think I'm eating a crepe that she made me. So I'm just standing there eating a turkey crepe and I look down, blood everywhere.

So I've been through so much superglue. You guys, so much superglue. Well, you know, two things here. So first of all, if you do need one of those little Neely... The Mark Peterson. Yeah, the Mark Peterson. My little brother actually has one available now because he tore his Achilles tendon and had to have surgery. And luckily he's able to just walk with a foot brace now instead of having that thing. So if you need one, I've got one for you. Okay. Second of all, dude, if you were a true badass, man, you would have John Wicked that somehow by getting like an iron and heating it up and just pressing it.

It's not so much that it's, you know, I'm not going to lie. I kind of feel that way. I got out in the backyard, squeezed off like 18 rounds on the nine mil and then put the hot barrel on my meal. But no, I don't know what the, I don't know how to fix it. I sent a thing into like the WebMD, you know, one of those kind of things where it's like, you send a picture and it's like, do I need, do I need stitches? And they were like, if we were to give you stitches, they would just pull because it's too wide. So really what you need is staples.

And if you were to put staples in there, it would be so excruciating to get it closed. And then you'd probably just pop it open anyway after the fact. It's hard to describe because it's not like a normal laceration, like a cut where it's thin. This is like someone like Pumpkin Carved Your Foot, where it's just white. It's just a massive chunk of flesh. But it goes all the way across the heel. Yeah. It's bad. It's really bad. I had Chandler help me clean it last night, and Chandler's like, dude, I'm going to be sick. He's just like, I'm good. I can walk on it, right? And I'm like, no. Something will get infected so quick. It's oozing. It's oozing. It's oozing. It's oozing. It's oozing. It's oozing. It's oozing. It's oozing. It's oozing. It's oozing. It's oozing. It's oo

in the evening. When it's not bleeding, it's just like leaking plasma. It's just you're like, oh, elevated and kind of like keep off your feet, which is pretty hard for the day job. Yeah, exactly. In the voice recording. Yeah, I'm standing in the booth earlier today with my knee on a stool and I'm doing everything that I'm trying to do, but yeah, it's not going well. So the streak is over, so it's probably going to be realistically about a week, week and a half. Yeah, before. Yeah, it's going to take a minute. I got to say it might be a little bit more than a week, dude. He was trying to do tomorrow, and I'm like, no, no, you can't, no. You don't have time to heal, dude. Yeah. So you get up and try to do stuff, the worse it's going to get, so you need to give it good time.

Yeah, so I've learned. So I'm doing a lot of, you know, like I need one of those bells like Bobby or Peter or somebody had on the Brady Bunch. You need Chris to send you the wah-wah-wah. Oh, his majesty won something again. Yeah, exactly. So the thing is, did it hurt when it happened? A little, but not really. Yeah.

And then it was fine, but today it's just been unbearable. Really, really, really bad. So no mile a day for me for the next couple of days. But then I'm going to start again, and I'm not going to get to the 363 like I hoped. It's probably going to be more like 350-something realistically. But that's okay. That's all right. I think you're making excuses. I'm completely disappointed in you. I think you should hop a mile every day. I'm trying to do this. Shannon and Chandler are both...

pretty irate with me. I try to put my shoe on. I try to do all kinds of stuff. You just put a sock on it and nothing again. Rusty's sniffing it all freaked out. Yeah, it's weird. At least he wants to eat it, dude. When that thing gets gangrenished and falls off, he's official to eat it. You know it'll be rusty, for sure. He's like, who's the boss now, man? Yeah, Chunga, I, for one, I will walk an extra mile every day. Thank you. In your honor, dude.

Yeah, thank you. Thank you, Panda. I really appreciate it. And this is not stopping. We're still going to keep this going. So everybody keep it up. I'm going to get back doing this as soon as I can. Oh, yeah. I'm going to post when he's back to it normally. No one stop. Keep it going. Keep it going. I saw that Tim had done two miles in 22 degree weather today. Tim Hemingway. To celebrate the birthday of his dog. One year birthday. Tucker. Tucker. Yeah. Who the kids were allergic to? Are allergic to? I can't remember. Yeah. Yeah, they're fine. They're fine now. They're fine. Anyway, let's start the show. Oh, yes. Hey. Hey. Hey.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the often imitated, never duplicated Radio Ronin Show. I am Chunga, the pieces of him that are left. And right there with me, way cool Junior Chandler Smith, I'm looking up at him like I'm a very small man. You gotta hardly look at everybody else on the show. What everyone didn't hear was all the Warwick Davis comments that Chris and Greg were making about you. Booger in your nose.

Oh, poor Warwick Davis. He had a booger in the world. And now I saw a picture of Warwick Davis. He was 11 years old, Return of the Jedi with Carrie Fisher, and he had the Wicked the Ewok head off, but he was still in the suit. And the only thing I could think of was that booger. It was probably still up there. It was still back then, a cliffhanger. So anyway, there's Chandler Smith. Ladies and gentlemen, he's wearing a Ramones t-shirt today. Yes.

Congratulations, Greg. You're like every girl that shops at Hot Topic today. But I at least know the music of the band. Do you do any sort of gatekeeping panda when you see Girls in Ramones shirts or Led Zeppelin shirts or something? Yeah, I don't do gatekeeping in that way because at least they're supporting these bands in some way. But I do, when I see a shirt, a band that I know, I will approach them and be like, oh, I love that band. And then I'll try to chat with them and quickly realize they actually have no clue who the band is. They just bought the shirt at Hot Topic. Urban Trends or something. Yeah, exactly. You know, usually if it's somebody that I know personally, I will try to, you know, I'll give them like a playlist and I'm like,

Look, go check them out. You're proselytizing. You're nice about it. I'm spreading the good word about these bands that they're wearing t-shirts of and have no clue who or what they are. Yeah, yeah. Good job, Panda. And speaking of fashion, the other guy over there in Salt Lake City, he's wearing a very dapper shirt today. And he was at his fancy... Oh. See, there it is. Rocking his Daytona Panda on today. Woo! You're looking fancy, dude. So what's going on with this? Ladies and gentlemen, say hi to Chris the American, too. So what's going on?

Yeah, I was doing my big boy job today and my project was selected by my company as one of the kind of gold medal type projects delivered. It's the first thing that my company's history that I did in Salt Lake. Dude! They're going to do like a chapter in a book about it, like a big corporate book, big old, you know, table book. Oh, nice. It's a beautiful book. That is awesome. So I was wandering through like doing some punch stuff, doing construction stuff and the photographer said, hey, are you free? And I'm like, not really, but what do you need? And he's like, I need somebody to play pool over here and like, you know, just...

Play pool and smile and, you know, show the watch off. Oh, so you're going to be in the... Oh, I got you. It was a model for Hoffman out today in my day, just kind of looking nice. And how many times were you asked to bend over while playing pool for those photos? Give us a little more cheek. With my ass all the time. Give us a little more cheek.

Dude, that's awful. He's got the song that we need you to put on for these photos as well. He's got an American flag. Yeah, he's got the American speedo on this channel that got me one. Oh, yeah. I'm very proud. I got an extra small for it, too. He got the XL package up front and the buns of steel behind. Oh, yeah. I can only imagine. Anyway, welcome to the show. There it is. Welcome to the show, everybody. Yeah. We are the Ronin, for those of you checking in. Three and a half Ronin right now. Shannon got mad at me because once I realized what was going on, I cut the skin off.

Okay, let's be honest. I tore the skin off, which kind of made it worse. And then I just put it in my hoodie pocket. And then I was like, look this, I saved it. And it's like this rock hard mummified piece of foot jerky. And Shannon's like, you go throw that away, but it's cool. No, throw it away. You wanted to keep it like an extra power cord. I wanted to hang on to it. Just in case, you know, you never know. Like they did in the nom. They would keep a souvenir. So anyway, I, yeah, that's, that's my show. The show.

Brought to you by Quench It. Quench It! Quench It! 611 North, 400 East in Lehigh. Quench It makes every wounded day better. I'd so be a Quench It right now. Oh, totally. Sucking down a Chunguito, it'd be wonderful. See if you can get some of that Gell's cheese to rub on your foot. You know, hopefully that'll fix it. Gell's cheese on his feet. Doesn't there any Gell's going on? No, no, no. I got that top shelf. I got the top shelf Gell's cheese going. Oh, yeah. That's what they put on them nachos. So they've got your pretzel bites. Oh, yeah. It's still cold there in Utah. So it's very, very chilly. So you need some piping hot pretzel bites. You need some nice warm nachos with the Gell's cheese. Maybe some hot chocolate chip cookies or brownies. They've got all that stuff there. Oh, it's amazing. It's

Quench at 611 North, 400 East in Lehigh. Get yourself a gingerbread panda, which is still available, Greg? I believe so. I have not heard anything about it being gone yet. Nice. Yeah, Brent's still getting it. Okay, all right. It's now the gingerbread panda. Yeah, nice. Yeah, it was a huge hit. And I saw that Laurie and Stacey Adams were down there celebrating. Stacey Adams got her driver's license, so of course they went to quench it. Yeah!

Congratulations. That's cool. I love that. Yeah, nice. So it makes every first day of driving better. Absolutely. Yes. All right. So thank you, Quench It. Again, everybody go. Well, yes, 611 North 400 East in Lehigh. Thanks for supporting people that support Ronan. Yeah, I love Quench It. Panda, do we have any birthdays? Yeah, we do. So starting off our birthday list, that will be happening between this episode and the next. We've got Joshua Millett celebrating a birthday. Oh, no way! Yeah, he's one of our March Madness winners. Yes, he is. What was it last year or was it the year before? No, it was like three years ago. Three years ago. Quite a few years ago.

I'm getting a lot of questions, by the way. People asking if we're doing the March Madness. Of course we are. Oh, yeah. We're giving away a record chat gift card of 40 bucks and the Christmas shoes on DVD. Signed by the Ronin. Signed by the Ronin. Signed by the Ronin. And then at worst place is a talking Chewbacca doll. Yes. You're welcome, Planet Earth. Which somebody gave to me by accident, and I just kept it. Yeah, it's in Chris's house right now. All right, so congratulations, Joshua Millich. Here's to many happy returns. Happy birthday, dude. Who else, Panda? We've also got celebrating a birthday. One, Taylor Casper. Taylor Casper.

Happy birthday, Taylor Casper. Happy birthday, Taylor Casper. That's awesome. Congratulations. So the VW, he shows, he refurbs.

and then enters VW Bugs in car shows. Yeah, he's got this awesome Golf. He's like a Mark III Golf, I believe it is. Yeah, he's expanded, right? Because he had an old-school 60s. He's like a Porsche Ocean Blue, whatever they call it. Yeah, that Miami Blue or whatever. He told me it's from the 40s, I believe, and it's so old that it doesn't have a gas gauge, so you kind of just have to guess. The Golf does? Yeah, his Bug. The Bug itself is from the 40s, yeah. And he's like, you should kind of just guess when you need to fill it up. I'm like, what? That's just how you chop it off whenever you drive. Exactly. Well, that's like, I remember, man, I had a Mustang when I was a kid, and the gas gauge didn't work, and so I would just count like three days, go get gas. Three days, go get gas.

Gary. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Happy birthday, dude. Happy birthday, Taylor Casper. Who else, Panda? Yeah, and ending our list for this episode, we've got Soshi Burgoyne celebrating a birthday. Soshi! Soshi! That woman is trouble with a capital T. We love you, Soshi. Yeah, she's a lifer. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, Soshi. Happy birthday! All right, so we've got some... I don't know if you guys have heard this. Have you gone out to... Because this is...

Back in the day, this was impossible. This never happened. And this has happened a couple of times this year. But this year, this time, this year, it's supposed to be the craziest. There's a massive solar flare that's happening. And it's the biggest one like ever. It's one of the biggest in recorded history. Because of the 31 Atlas thing didn't turn up to be really aliens. Three Atlas. Three Atlas. Whatever. Whatever it was called. And now this is my new obsession. Solar flares. Solar flares. Solar flares. Solar flares. Solar panel. Solar panel. Some of you get that. You can get your solar panel in. Solar panel. I don't want to get too scientific with you chaps, but it's a coronal massage.

Whoa! I feel like I need to go to the bishop. A coronal? It's classified as a G4 solar storm, which the limit for solar storms is a G5. So this is about as big as it gets. It's happening Monday and Tuesday. So as of, you know, you guys listening to this, it's this massive thing, which is why it's pushing down the Aurora Borealis. It's so big. It's moving the northern lights down. It's like Southern California and Texas. It's that big. It's pushing those lights that far down. That's what I'm talking about is that you would never ever, it would never be considered that you could ever see those back in the day. But now in Utah, there's so much light pollution, the brightest city on earth, Las Vegas. Uh-huh.

We have them here, but you can't see them. You can see them with your phone. Yeah, you can use them with your phone, but that's about it, which is still crazy. You can't really see them with a naked eye. But yeah, you can see them in Southern California. You can see them in Salt Lake. You can see them, I don't know about it. Texas, you can see them in Texas. Which is just pulling the magnetosphere kind of thing and the magnetic field south, which is highly, highly, highly unusual because, you know, the Ouroboros is actually, you know, looking good.

the radiation that comes through, and it hits the atmosphere, and that's why it's so much more visible from the polar north. So it's just moving that magnetic pole south, technically, so we all can see it. It happened a bit, I mean, like October, November last year, we had a little one. Yeah. A much smaller, you know, storm. This is way bigger, though. This is way bigger. Three times bigger than the one we had last year. So the thing is, when you go into Mercury in retrograde, there's all this fallout. And people are like, oh, I don't believe in that hocus pocus. No, there's actual proof to this, because what happens is...

Mercury, the Mercury going into retrograde, it throws off the magnetic, the EMF around the Earth. Yes, exactly. And it causes problems with electronics and it does all kinds of stuff. Well, this is like Mercury and retrograde on steroids. Times like a thousand. Instead of being like three weeks long, though, it's only a couple of days long. It's a short burst. It's happening today and tomorrow. So this would be Monday and then Tuesday. And I have some of the effects that this is causing and it's like causing widespread power outages all across the world. Oh, damn. So it's screwing up satellites like the astronauts are having a hard time at the International Space Station connecting with us because it's thrown the whole grid out of whack. Your phones are going to be wacky. Your computers are going to be wacky. You're going to experience like really hard problems like streaming TV, which we've been trying to watch. We've had all kinds of problems. All day.

Now, the scary thing is that's like tech effects, right? But on people, it's massive stress. It has like huge effects on your blood pressure, on your mood swings, on anxiety. On your heart rate, it's supposed to be crazy. On your heart rate variability, so people like with heart problems, increased risk of like blood clots, all because of this one storm. And it throws off your melatonin. So it makes it so you can't sleep. Which you guys couldn't sleep at all. I'm going on about two hours of sleep. I've had two days of under three hours of sleep because I couldn't sleep. I couldn't figure out the problems. There is that. Just leaking into a pan at the bottom of the bed. Oh, gosh. It's so bad. It's real sheets. It'll be fine. Yeah, so it doesn't...

makes some sense though. Oh, it absolutely does. I mean, this thing's massive and all the NASA scientists are freaking out. Like, we haven't seen this before. Did you see the map? Have you guys seen the map of it? It covers like the entire top half of it. Yeah, a couple maps completely over North and South America. It is enormous. It's an entire continent.

And they're showing a picture of Earth, and it has our normal kind of radiation bubble around it. It's from a telescope way far away. And it looks like when someone puts a car in a wind tunnel and you see the smoke trail. It's normally around Earth. It's just this normal, perfect bubble. And right now, we have this big trail blowing behind us because the solar storm's hitting us that hard. Behind the Earth? Yeah, it's hitting us that hard. It's blowing all of our stuff out of whack. That's crazy. Yeah, watch out for falling birds. It's pandemic, guys. Get your hangers ready. Actually, what would be kind of cool is if it disturbed the field, that also keeps us from normally seeing ghosts with our naked eyes. All of a sudden, we're just seeing dead people everywhere. Dan, the effects of Van Allen Belt, which is kind of that piece of after the ozone

The radiation. The radiation that goes around the Earth. It messed with the Van Allen Belt as well. I don't know how it couldn't. It would have to. It would make sense that that radiation layer is pretty severe. It's huge, but to go through the Van Allen Belt, you can go through it literally with tinfoil wrapped around you and be fine. Oh, really? Weirdly enough. It will roast you if you don't have your tinfoil on. It's crazy. How long before Greta Thunberg tries to blame it on global warming? It's global warming!

Yeah. Who do I like better, Ping or Greta Thunberg? I like Ping. I don't know. Definitely Ping. Definitely Ping. Oh, shit. Yeah, I love it. So there's mass outages for flights. Like, there's flight delays all over the US. Flight delays. Yeah, it's everywhere. So it's going to pull satellites out of, you know, their orbit, and it can do a lot of, like, it creates friction, which the air doesn't usually have. There's no air in space, but apparently this can cause solar friction, which means it can drop satellites, you know, the International Space Station, all kinds of stuff, like, you know, lower in orbit and can affect communications, and it takes them forever to put them back into stationary orbit.

Yeah, it's going to be a stressful day for NASA, you know, China, European Space Agency. I would think NORAD. Anything that monitors anything that happens to worry about. Yeah, exactly. So maybe, maybe.

Maybe the solar thing hits Elon Musk and he's not nicked anymore. Maybe he's just cured. He's just cured. He's fine. He doesn't like puzzles anymore. He's just cured. He stops lying about being the Diablo 4's top player in the world. Oh, my gosh. The thing is, it is happening today and tomorrow, but they're saying the effects will last for a while. So, like, hang tight, people. If your tech is being all crazy, that's solar. It'll be gone by what? By the time this airs? Tonight. It'll be ending tonight. But the effects will still last for a couple days after because it's that powerful. Is that right? Wow. Whoa. Crazy stuff, man. So, anyway, so that's going on. Please use caution. On top of everything. On top of the chunk is hurt foot.

I bet it probably caused it. Glass bottle? Glass there on purpose. Everybody stay inside. Stay in your homes. Watch Night Manager 2. Everybody's taking our advice on this, and I'm glad you are.

Yeah, a lot of people jumping on this, The Night Manager and The Night Manager 2. I guess people didn't know about it. No, and we've talked about it for a while, but I mean, Night Manager Season 1 came out in 2016, so it's been 10 years. I mean, it's been a long time since this has been out. And so luckily, I'm seeing a lot of the Ronan fam go back and start watching Season 1 and so they can get ready for Season 2, which makes my heart very happy because, I mean, we've all raved about the show for how long? It's one of 10 years. Yeah, one of our troubles was what show do we want to see rebooted? And both Chris and I were like Night Manager. Well, yeah, I did watch that, Chris. That was a couple of years ago. Two, three years ago. Two years ago. It was a while ago. Yeah, because we saw this. I mean, myself and China were like, this needs a second season. There's no reason

really good show and you know we've got some really good acting talent here and you know hey I could possibly see a new Bond in this one Yeah. Oh, yeah. Nothing happened, though, for like nearly eight years. Just fizzled out, yeah. I just chalked it up to the fact that he was trying to be Bond when it didn't work. He didn't want to do another season. I mean, he did get wrapped up in all the Marvel stuff after that, too. He was, but then the Loki season happened, and so he wrapped in that and whatever else. Yeah, he was stuck in that for a long time. Yeah, because I also started the first season because I hadn't seen it yet, and I'm about three or two and a half episodes in. What do you think? You know, I'm enjoying it a lot, but this is also one of those shows that I can't have any distractions while watching. I need to pay full attention to this thing, so it may take me a little while

To get through it Just because I want to make sure That I've got nothing else Happening when I watch it Matt Damon recently Because he's doing A Netflix thing With Ben Affleck And they were talking about The Rip So they were doing Press for Rip And they were talking about How it's different Making a Netflix show Versus making a movie And he said that The Netflix brass The Netflix suits They require you To reset the plot Four times per episode You have to reset the plot four times. So if you don't know anything about writing scripts, scripts are super formulaic. Basically, the way it works is by the time you get to page nine of a script, you have every major character with a few surprises left out. And you have the entire plot of the film. Yeah, exactly. You know, it averages out one page per minute. So roughly you're about nine, ten minutes into the film and you know the entire plot of the movie. Yep. And then you watch it play out. OK, well, Matt Damon is like, no, that's not how Netflix does it. You have to reset that nine pages every. You have to do it four times per episode or four times per movie. And you have to do it because everybody's on their phones. To Panda's point, everybody's sitting on their couch.

scrolling doing whatever and they get lost and if they get lost they don't come back yeah so the night manager clearly not doing that no no no not a thinking man's movie or a thinking man series for sure yeah it's more like a born a born identity or like a born ultimatum where if you look down for 30 seconds there's like one like a little like whispered piece of dialogue that changes everything and you're totally lost that fast so yeah that's something the show for sure but like just imagine the night manager is a regular guy who is a manager of a hotel As a skill set, not like Taken, but he's an ex-military MOD soldier and gets dragged into espionage unwillingly to begin with. Born Identity is like a secret agent, you know, MKUltra kind of thing. It's more relatable in a weird way. And the characters are very well written. And it just shows the incompetency of the British government, which is, hey, really typical. Chris is like, oh, yes. And Olivia Common plays a really, really good part in this as well as being his handler and stuff. Hugh Laurie is a bad guy. Fantastic. Hugh Laurie, who is depending on what you've seen from Blackadder.

or from House. Yeah, he's actually a comedic actor, but he plays an excellent villain in season one. Yeah, he's terrifying. And he gets to season two and you see how much he has messed up. The Night Manager. Yeah. Jonathan Pine. Yes, Mr. Pine. And yeah, it's pretty awesome. The first season is great. We're three episodes into the second season. Yeah, we watch every episode that's been out. They come out on Wednesdays, I believe. It's on Prime, right? Yeah, it's on Prime. It's on Prime. And I'm curious because you and I haven't talked about it. We can give a spoiler-free review. What do you think about it so far? I think there's a couple of things and hopefully I can pass this on to people because we didn't go back and watch season one. No. We just kind of picked up where it left off 10 years later. Yes. Which is insane. We should have gone back and watched season one. Don't watch season two without watching season one because I got a little bit lost and it's coming across.

uh i don't want to say mid but a lot of the impact of the dramatic statements and the dramatic monologuing and stuff like that it's kind of lost on me because i can't remember what happened in season one very clearly yes i completely i think i think the wrong family who are watching watching season one and going right into two that's smart yeah but the thing i do like and this isn't a spoiler for season two at all is season two happens with our normal time jump so it has been 10 years for the characters and that's for us so there is a massive time jump it's not like it's like a day or two later all the characters have aged a lot it's 10 years 10 years in in the history books So 10 years have passed and now stuff starts going down again and you're like, uh-oh. Yeah, it's cool. It's very much that kind of stuff that the four of us love, which is bougie, fancy hotels. You've got Porsches and cool guns and cool watches and fancy ladies and you're like, yes, this is awesome. That's it. One thing that I didn't realize is that he had a love interest who played Princess Di in The Crown. Yes. Oh, okay. And I haven't seen her yet in season two, but it'll be great if we can see her again because I knew when I saw The Crown, I'm like, I've seen her somewhere before, but I can't figure out where. She was fantastic. So like many moons ago, this is where I watched the first season. I think we talked about in our previous episode a long time ago is this is actually a John Le Carrier book.

It's an adaptation about the book, and this is proving to be, it's kind of edgy. As a carrier book, it's kind of slick. It's a really classy, classy book. It's very, very well written, like all of the spy novels, you know, a bunch of them. I think Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was one of his as well. Oh, is that right? I didn't know it. And this as a whole is not as smooth and as classy as the book. It's a lot more edgy, but it helps bring the characters out more than the book does, to me personally. So I'm not sure if I've read the book, but to me, I'm like, this is different in a good way. So it's one of those rare cases where you may actually like the film version better than the book version. Yes.

Interesting. Wow. I think so. So what we may have to do, Chandler, is we may have to pause. We may have to go back, watch the first season. I think we probably should. And then maybe give those three episodes another go. Yeah, like re-watch those first three. I think we might do that.

get them a little bit better. Because I kept going, huh, who is this guy? What's that guy? I don't get this. Well, and it does remind me of Bond in a way because the locations change, where they start out in Egypt, then they go to Switzerland, and then the next thing I know, they're in Mallorca, Spain. Yeah, and they do that in the Bond films. They like to change the environment completely. It's something that George Lucas ripped off for Star Wars. Yeah. Yeah, like the book itself actually starts in Cairo and heads to different places, but actually ends up in the Caribbean. So I'm interested to see if they're going to follow that storyline that they can go to the Caribbean next, which is kind of a big major. Anyway, it's awesome. A lot of you are saying, hey, this

This is great. Thanks for the recommendation. You're welcome. I'm glad everybody's having fun with it. This is the stuff you need to watch right now when there's nothing to do. This is like James Bond. There's nothing better than a spy thriller when it's freezing cold outside. It's fantastic. I love it. Yeah, exactly. So Night Manager, it's on Amazon Prime. Watch season one first. Yes, please. Even if you haven't, even if you've already seen season one, go back and watch it again. Don't make the mistake that we made. You need to watch it. Yeah, do it. They're very closely linked and they kind of, the storyline picks up 10 years later, right? But they don't hold your hand with familiarity at all. Like they do a little bit, but not enough. It's like when the new Game of Thrones season came out, whatever that new, and they talk about all these weird characters.

from like 12 years ago like i don't know what's going on same thing yeah i know they're all dead it's great though yeah we love it anyway okay so uh if you have any questions about it let us know yes because i'm now researching it i'm kind of uh obsessed with it um okay so coming up chungapol chungapol is on the way a band i need i need your help with something before you get to the unemployed movie shout outs um maybe you can help me with something because i'm struggling dude like really struggling maybe chris chris you might be able to help me out too but i don't know i'm not sure anyway it's it's uh it's on the way but first before we do anything else thank you producers Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, producers for doing what you do for this show. Official producers, official producers, every single one of you, you can list this on your job resume, which I think you should. You can, you can use this as a job reference.

They're such an asset. I'm just wrapping up my photo shoot. Yeah, exactly. So that's, I mean, you're in. You're in. You can also list this in your LinkedIn job title. Even though LinkedIn blows.

And there was some really big fat dude spinning a prize wheel under a radio station. Here's the problem. I don't know if that's what he was talking about or if he was talking about something else. I even thought for a minute that Ash legit thought I was there.

I don't know. Ash, I'm confused. I don't know what you're saying, Ash. I'm just glad it's not Ash's nut this time. You know what I mean? Ash's nut is fine. Yes, thank you, Ash. Up next, we have Brian and Angela Bass. Bass. Yeah, CastleFutterArt.com, crashing Chunga's house next NFR. There we go. Come and hang out, Castle. Yeah, he can teach us the ways of the $2,000 hat.

So maybe we'll have to get him on to talk a little bit about stuff. Yeah, they're doing that. It's weird because they do it well in advance, but it's like a lot of spook alleys and haunted houses. They get together. They do some stuff in Vegas because they have to buy their stuff. They're buying the techs and start building everything. They'll have to start building stuff in the summer. In today's environment, maybe they should rethink what their convention is called.

Rob Wetzel, support my son, and go to Emerald City Smoothie in Highland, Utah. I could make a journey out there just to go do this. I should. Yeah, that's awesome. Shauna and the Dog Man Dustin.

It's a beautiful group of people, and if you would like to be in their ranks, well, you need to go to patreon.com forward slash radio. Rona, get yourself signed up. New bonus episode. In fact, we're probably going to be recording it Sunday. And we hope to have it for you next week. Nice. I can't wait. Bonus episodes aplenty for the Patreon folk. All right, so the Olympics are coming up. Thank you. Oh, yeah. I'm super excited. If you've listened to the show for any length of time, you know that the four of us, even Panda. Oh, yeah.

I didn't know that really until you joined the show. All four of us are really into the Olympics. I love them. Yeah. I always have been since the 1980 miracle on ice. My mom taking me to buy penny candy and sitting there watching all of the Olympic, the speed skating with Eric Heiden. I still remember the names of all the people. Oh, see, that's cool. With my little hot dog gums and my Tootsie Pop suckers and all that kind of stuff. It was so much fun. I'm a lifelong fan. Am I crazy getting out my rude hats on the news like Deanie Wimmer? No, but I love the Olympics. I always have. It was cool. I mean, especially being from Utah, right? I'm playing hockey. We were at the Olympic training grounds.

multiple times a week. Oh, no, he would skate with us all the time. Nathan Chen would always skate before my practice. I know him very well. Very, very cool guy. We're very much rooted into the sports here. We love the Olympics. I remember the first Olympics that I truly just got into where I was watching as many events as I could was when they were hosted in Atlanta. I've kind of followed them since. Before that, I wish I would have been old enough back in 1980 to really appreciate those Olympics and have a miracle on ice and everything as something

I remember, but I was very young at the time. So was I. So was I. I was like nine, I think. Anyway, yeah, so I love the Olympics. Chris, you're a big Olympics guy. You came out to, you came across the pond from the Olympics. Yeah.

For the 2002 games, right? Yeah, I was actually employed by the Olympic Committee to come over and work in one of the host hotels. So I got to hang out with all the heads of state and Prince Philip of Monaco. Were you the night manager? I was the night manager. I was the night manager. Except his evil... Instead of Richard Roper, it was Garth Brooks stealing a role from the back room. That was his evil...

I got to DJ for the Olympics. You did, yeah. The London Olympics. And yeah, so we love the Olympics here. So we all get really, really super into it. We're doing something. It was Bren's idea. So we're going to have Bren on the show. We're going to have some Olympic fun. And it was Bren's idea. She's been working hard kind of planning the whole thing out. Cool, yeah. And she called me. It was just in the middle of the work day. And she was like, hey, what's up? It sends me a text. I'm like, uh-oh, something's wrong. What happened to Chris? So I'm like, hey, I send Bren a text back. I'm like, hey, how's it going? Is everything okay? And she's like,

Yeah, nothing major. I want to talk to you. Uh-oh. I was like, oh, shit. Something's wrong.

Yeah. So I literally, like, I'm on a work hall, so I'm finding ways to try and get off the Zoom. I'm like, oh, I just stepped on glass. I'm like, hey. I'm trying to get off the call. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So I get off the call. I talk to Brandon. He's like, hey, I've got an idea for the show. I'm like, what? Yeah, you thought something was wrong. I said, I thought something was wrong. She's like, oh, no, no, it's just a really good idea, I think. And lo and behold, it was a good idea. So we got some fun stuff happening with the Olympics. So this is kind of like the first wave. We're finally starting to talk about the Olympics a little bit. All right. I have to readjust because my butt's falling asleep. I'm not used to sitting down. Yeah. It's true. You're doing good. You're doing really good. Thanks.

I'm highly uncomfortable. So the jungle pole for today is Olympic based. Before we get to it, though, we were talking about this and what we're going to do with it. And by the way, my voice is crapping out. I don't know why. My voice stepped on glass. Anyway.

Chris came out, he found something. You know, this is like when we were talking about doing this Chungapol, actually during the show, like we'd stop and make edits a couple minutes ago. We were just like, oh my gosh, I just found this. Now, what was it that you found? This wasn't part of what we were going to do, but you were like, this is amazing. Yeah, it just kind of intrigued me because of the Chungapol coming up and I was like, looking at weird Olympic events because obviously we had, you know, Raygun and the breakdancing. Oh, yeah, we remember that. Summer Olympics and like breakdancing is interesting. They're the BMXing and different things. So it kind of sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole and I was like, well, what other Olympic events do they have that are just kind of weird? So I found a whole plethora of different ones. I just wanted to like shoot some out to you. These were genuinely sports in the Olympic Games.

In the last, say, 125 years. It's been on for a while. It's the last 125 years. All right. So the current sports, they could be older. Most of these are gone. You'll understand why. I bet they lasted a very short time. Gotcha. So the first one up is solo synchronized swimming. Wait, hold on. Solo synchronized swimming. This is real? These are actuals? 1984, 1988, 1992. Solo synchronized swimming. What do you synchronize to? I don't know. The music, I guess. That's what I would assume. I mean.

Secret Night Swimming is pretty dumb anyway. Harry Shearer and Martin Short did a great Secret Night Swimming SNL routine, which is, in my opinion, one of the funniest things I've ever seen on SNL. I forgot about that completely. We should post that on the road. Martin Short. I'm not a strong swimmer. That's so funny. Okay, so solo Secret Night Swimming. What's another one? Back in the joyous time of 1900 Paris games, there was...

Long horse jumping and high horse jumping, which was, imagine like a normal average of a long jump and a high jump, but on a horse. On a horse. Wow. On a horse. What could go wrong? The early 1900s were insane, dude. I saw a horse, like somebody on a horse, and they jumped off like a high dive into like a kiddie pool of water. Oh, I've seen that video. It's been on Instagram. It's insane. Yeah. Like what? TV changed and like saved so many animals. No kidding. What glue and, you know, horse meat and cans. Yeah. I wonder what happened to all the horses that kind of failed at the event. Yeah. 1904 New York wants to stick all the posters up on.

you know yeah yeah oh jeez the glue okay so what's another one chris okay another one up is plunge for distance and this is where um this is 1904 st louis competition basically contestants would basically stand on a rock and dive as far forward as they could do into water you know either in a lake or a pool kind of thing jump from the rock forward into yeah Plunge for a distance. Wow. Standing the kick of a doggy. I'm not sure. The record apparently here is 62.5 feet. I've got no idea how high the rock was. Because that's a long distance. That is a huge distance. Okay, give us another one. Live pigeon shooting. Yes! Yes! Because they're not real anyway. They're not real. Every New Yorker is very happy about this. Oh my gosh. This was a rough one because a lot of pigeons were killed. The guy who won was Belgium's Leon de London and he killed 21 pigeons in one hour and 300 pigeons died during the event and fled dead in the field.

He then went on to kill 600 Americans in the Battle of the Bulge. Yeah. Holy crap. Wow. Okay. So pigeon shooting, anything else? Do we have more? We have more. Okay. Yep. Pistol dueling. Yes. Oh, wow. Yeah. Make it happen again. Are you serious? 1912. People would shoot each other. Oh, damn. So there's footage of the last pistol duel at the Olympics. There's video footage of it happening. What? Yeah. I've seen it. I saw it. I follow it. It's me. It's a big history Instagram channel. And they have video footage of one of the last pistol duels and the dude gets clipped right in the head. Are they shooting non-lethal rounds? Oh, no. This one I saw. Yeah. Wow. Like a lech monster.

mock-on kind of thing, like a lead coat, with a target in the middle, so it's the closest, you know, the first one to shoot. Oh, my God. Holy shit. The one I saw, they took it right between the eyes, though. Wow. Sounds like something you would see a bunch of YouTubers doing now. Yeah, I'm kidding. Those damn Paul brothers. Oh, please let them do it. Yeah, I'd be happy. I used to love that Prime Energy drink until I found out that one of the Pauls. I was like, oh, this is a swine juice wheel. Okay, what else, Chris? Okay, three more. One is the 200-meter swimming obstacle race.

which can only be described as climbing up poles, climbing over wooden boats, swimming under other boats, and then running around in circles. It's basically a... It's MXC. It's MXC. It's like Wipeout. It actually sounds kind of fun. The next one, if anybody would like to guess this one, it's ridiculous. Is it withstanding a kick of a donkey? No, it's close. It's art.

Art? Art art. From Stockholm in 1912 to London in 1948, medals were awarded for sports-inspired artwork for architecture, literature, music, painting, and sculpture. Oh. Oh, I get it. They had to have something for the gay kids. Back in the early 1900s. Things were much different. Yeah, and highly illegal, apparently. Yes, okay. That makes sense. That's how they found them, I guess. Yeah.

Okay, so do you have one more? The last one, which is the perhaps worst Olympic sport I've ever seen in my entire life. I gave you back to Paris in 1900. Olympic poodle clipping. What? Oh, I'm sorry. What? Poodle clipping? Wow. Trimming of a hair on a poodle? It involved 128 competitors performing in front of a crowd of 6,000 people in the Borge de Blanc Park, and they had to clip off there as many poodles as they could do in two hours. Wow. It's like 4-H for gay kids.

Yeah. You know I got wrong. Nobody can race quit. It was the early 1900s. Yeah, the winner was Avril LeFouffle. And she got caught with 17 clip poodles in less than two hours. Wow. Oh, man. All right, so that's... I did not expect that was going to be on the show.

Breakdancing. Breakdancing ought to be in there. Breakdancing for sure. Well, you mean to tell me that all of these sports have at least at one point made it into the Olympics, and yet bowling is nowhere. Has it never been? Chris, can you look this up? It's never been because it should be one now. I remember clear back in the radio days, Panda, all those years ago, you talking about this on the show, saying, this needs to be a sport. Bowling should be in there. It should be. Yeah. Yes, Chris, we have it. It was used in the Panamerica Games in 91.

Okay, that's not the Olympics. It was also used as a demonstration in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. It was a demonstration event to use it, and it was decided not to, so thanks. Wow. You guys are lame. Yeah, I'm with you, Panda. I'm lame. Bowling should be an Olympic sport, damn it. Yeah, now we're canceled. If speedwalking and curling's a thing, you know what I mean? Bowling should absolutely be an Olympic. Okay, so this is the Chunga pole for today, then. Okay. The Chunga pole for today, I want you to put your thinking hat on. I want you to use your noodle for this one. Which Olympic sport would you compete in if you could?

Ooh. Now, this might not be your favorite event to watch, but you've no doubt watched it. Maybe you went to see it in person if you were in Salt Lake or if you were in London or wherever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're like, oh, this would be my sport. I want to do that. This is where I would do the best, right? In Panda's case, you would have said bowling, but it's not an Olympic sport. Yeah, that would have been my choice easily, but now I got to go with, you know, some other sport. Yeah. Now, does this have to be winter or summer, or could it be either? Oh, good question. What do you think?

I'd say either. I think it should be either. So either sport or either Olympics, summer or winter. Yeah, okay. So that means you've got diving and swimming and track and field and all that stuff. And you've also got skiing, downhill bobsled, luge, all that other good stuff. Cool, nice. Okay, so Chris, let's start with you. We don't start with you very often. What do you think? What would be your Olympic sport? I'm trying to think. Can we draft Joey Snow in and we could have like a Ronin hockey team?

Yeah, well, yeah. Joey, my former defenseman. Yeah. Mean as hell, by the way. Great guy. What an opposing human being. Oh, yeah. Great guy. Great guy to have as your number one deep back defenseman. When you're a goalie. I saw him destroy a hockey rink. Well, you know, I think we could probably do a hockey draft for the Ronin team to take us to the Olympics. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Never mind the Hanson. The Kachuk's like, you know, me and Chandler would call some hell. Oh, yeah. We throw hands. You know, I played. I think I've told this, haven't I? I think you might have. It's been a minute, though. The only time I've ever worn regular hockey gear ever.

I had to play one of the Hanson brothers from Slapshot. The Hanson brothers were making an appearance and they were doing an exhibition before the game started for the Utah Grizzlies. And it was sold out. It was a big thing. Everyone was excited because the Hanson brothers were coming to town. And one of them had like some sort of something go wrong with his intestinal tract. Oh, man. He had to have immediate surgery. Oh, geez. So they were like, oh, crap. What are we going to do?

We can't go out there with two hands. And so the general manager of the Grizzlies at the time, a guy named Tim Mauser, great guy. I love this man dearly. Tim calls up and he goes, hey, what are you doing tonight? And I'm like, I'm still on the show, on the morning show. He goes, what are you doing tonight? I'm like, I don't know. He goes, I need you to be a handsome brother. I was like, what? And he told me the whole thing. So he goes, get over here right now. So I literally leave the show and go straight to the Maverick Center. And they've got all these equipment guys there and they put me in regular player skates.

and give me a hockey stick and put me in hockey gloves and the whole thing. And I don't have the wig or the glasses yet, but they're trying to teach me how to play like a, cause I'm a goalie. That's so different. Oh yeah. The skates are different. Everything's different. So I literally had to train all day long to be a handsome brother. Oh, that's so cool. And then they tell me right before that I can hear the people and I've got my wig on. I've got the, the, the horn rimmed glasses, the whole thing. And they're like, yeah, you're going to be the guy that shoots the puck when we start this. So the face-off is going to happen. We're playing against the long beach ice dogs. The Grizzlies call a big substitution and outcomes in their chiefs.

blue and gold outfits the handsome brothers come out and they skate around the place is going mad and they say you're going to be shooting the puck so don't miss or we'll kick your ass oh no what pressure dude pressure yeah so sure enough They do this whole thing. They knock a bunch of people down on the Long Beach Ice Dogs. They pass the puck to me. The goalie was a guy by the name of Manny Legacy, depending on your particular accent, who went on to have a great NHL career. Manny was their goaltender, and he was bound and determined. He's like, I'm not going to let you score. I'm not going to let you score. He told me. He's like, I'm not going to do this. I'm going to stiff my handsome brother. So I actually roofed it, hit the top of the net, and scored a goal on Manny Legacy as a handsome brother. That's sick. Yeah, and out of my curiosity, the handsome brother that you were kind of substituting in for,

Like what position were you playing? Forward. Forward. I was playing a forward. Yeah, I was playing. I believe I was playing right wing. It was right wing. Yeah. So anyway, long story, but I did get to play a handsome brother in front of thousands of people for a couple of nights. It was cool. Yeah, that's so cool. That's awesome. So, okay. So, so Chris, so to your point then, so you would say hockey would be like Olympic hockey. Cause that'd be like, you know, I've been to see, you know, I think in 1980, I was barely alive. Yeah. So don't remember that.

But I did go to go watch the USA hockey match back in the Olympic Games when it was here in Salt Lake. So I got to go be front and center on ice next to all the shielding, you know, watching the US destroy Russia, which was huge. I mean, I was sort of like, this game is fun to watch. I mean, I haven't been the nerd hockey that I am now. I didn't start that until like three, four years ago.

No, you're like a super nerd. I'm with us. Super nerd. Yeah, that's awesome. I think one thing that would be entertaining is if I could convince you three guys to come down in a bobsled, we could do like a bobsled team. I think a Ronin bobsled would be great, like trying to drive in, you know, chunga, pushing, tucking in, you know. Yeah, that would be awesome. I don't think I'd be first. My head's too big. I think Chris would have to drive. I think Chris would have to drive, yeah. He's a better driver anyway. And I'll be the guy chasing the bobsled down.

So because, again, I'm super into this. So I was watching the bobsled Olympic trials. I watched the figure skating Olympic trials, the downhill skiing. I'm watching all of it. And there was an Olympic team, an Olympic bobsled team where the driver lost his dudes. Oh, I saw that. You did see it. He went up on the high bank curve and something like the back end swung out and threw all of them out. But he didn't know. Yeah. So he's just cruising down the thing. He's like, yeah. And everybody's trying to wave at him. He's like, hi. He doesn't know.

And then he realizes when he gets to the end, he's almost at the end. He's like, I don't have any brakes. The brakes are gone. So I'm going to go flying into a wall. So he panics and he scoots himself back. So there's nobody steering the bobsled. And he starts pulling on the brakes. And so the thing's freaking out and going crazy. It was wild. I've heard this track. I actually have a friend that goes to my gym. She's on Team Canada. And she crashed really bad a couple days ago. This track is apparently horrible. It's fun to watch. I'm like, hey, you're right. She's like, I'm fine. I'm a bobsledder now. We have a Ronan that listens to us. Noelle Pica's Pace. Oh, yeah. She got hit.

by a bobsled and broke it, like Evil Knievel level bones. I remember that. Yeah, broke her back, broke both femurs, broke her skull fracture. She had an eye hanging out of her head, like the whole thing. It was crazy, crazy. Well, and Chris, to your point, if Jamaicans can do it, I think we could. Well, you hope so, won't you? Okay. Now we're canceled. So, so. Not quite as letico or as well hung, I guess, but we'll give it a go. That's for sure. Yeah, I wish they gave out a medal for grotesquely average. Yeah.

So, Chris, is it bobsled or is it hockey? What do you think? Oh, gosh. I don't know. I'm thinking bobsled just for the sake of, you know, yeah.

Because you know what's coming. You know what's coming. You're saying bobsled. Okay, Chandler. For me, I'm going to give a runner up really quick. And that's, I love the Super G of skiing. I think that's so much fun. Just the amount of speed that's behind it. I mean, you and I were both skiers back in the day. And, you know, I blew up my knee doing it and it was not fun. But it's just the hype and it's just you by yourself against the elements. I think it's a really cool kind of thing. Especially like watching like Sean White doing all the snowboard stuff back in the day. So you would want to do something either on like a half pipe or like a downhill skiing? Yeah, like an alpine skiing. I think it would be so fun. Like a Super G would be amazing just because it's, you know, it's my favorite. Is that your favorite? Yeah, yeah. Really, yeah. But number one, hands down, no surprise

playing a game and you're like nine years old it's it's game seven of the olympics you're going for the gold medal or the stanley cup and that's what you dream towards get that gold medal playing in the arena where you know they had the celebration for the golden you know the olympics and gold medals were handed out at the you played on that ice that's legendary ice you know that was our home ice for a long time yeah uh there's nothing better than you know having that team around you and being able to do that and watching miracle the movie with you and watching the game you know record over and over again nothing better so hands down yeah hockey hockey yeah yeah that's a good one good friend of mine nathan west who was actually a goalie played rob mcclanahan in miracle yeah And I got to go down to that ice with him. It was fun. No, that's so cool. Okay, all right. So Panda, what about you?

Okay, yeah, and I thought about this one quite a bit because, I mean, there's a lot of sports that are, like, really cool, but I have to go with one that I sort of played back in high school, and it was just with friends, but I played a lot of roller hockey in high school, which, actually, I ended up jacking my knee up, which still, you know, every so often will, you know, if I step wrong, my knee will. I didn't know that's where that came from, Panda. That's where the injury originated, but then it's been re-aggravated many times. He's been the club of Chunkin, I know. Yeah, so, yeah, that's a dirty little secret, Panda, that roller hockey, people don't know this, a lot of people, they go to roller hockey because they can't ice skate. Yeah.

Only to find out roller hockey is way harder. So much harder. Roller hockey is so much harder than ice hockey. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and the thing is, like, at the time, I could ice skate. But in Kearns, we didn't have any rinks close to us. This is well before the Oval was made out there in Kearns. And I wanted to play, but I would have had to transfer down to Taylorsville if I wanted to play ice hockey. I had an ice hockey team. And I couldn't leave Kearns, man. That was my school. I had to step with it. I got you. Okay. Yeah. You know, me and my friends would get together. And oddly enough, a neighbor, his nephews came down from Canada. We were playing them. And this is how I injured my knee is one of them.

I was taking every cheap shot he could on everybody, like hitting the, you know, the back, kind of the... you know, between like your thigh and your calf. Oh yeah. He would just constantly do that. And I understand that when he's playing with pads and everything, like it's a, it's just something that happens, but none of us have pads. None of us have anything. And we're Americans who are just playing for fun. Yeah. So I, uh, I got all my speed going up. I was defenseman and I got all my speed going up and I checked that mother effer right. Yeah. And unfortunately I jacked my knee up at the same time, but it was worth it. Oh, that's hockey right there. We'll teach you how to do a slew foot in a can opener. Yeah. The can opener. All right. So, uh,

you then so it would be ice hockey dude like ice hockey okay yeah i would i'd play on the hockey team man i'm actually surprised to hear that but i think you're badass panda so so ice hockey uh again for me there's no question yeah right i saw the miracle on ice game jim craig changed my life at the hockey goalie jim craig i'm a hockey goalie because of jim craig yep and uh and uh there's i don't even have a runner-up yeah there's no question yeah yeah you know i love alpine skiing there's i love all the events uh there's not really an olympic event i don't like curling yeah not so much but um everything else i love but it would be hockey no hockey goalie or bust yep exactly uh so what about you you It goes to you now. What Olympic sport would you play if you had the chance? I hope you have a lot of shot putters. A shot putter would be a great thing because you could eat all the Arby's you want. Exactly. And it just wouldn't matter. You don't have to really be in shape. No, you just have to throw that thing. Throw them. The javelin would be fun. Oh, yeah. So let us know. What would your Olympic sport be if you could? Nice. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. Would you be like Bruce Jenner and do the decathlon? Mm-hmm.

Heyo! The decathlon? I was hoping somebody caught it. Anyway, would it be the biathlon? Would it be... The decathlon? Yeah, I don't know. Swing a leg over that fence. I doubt it. Anyway, what would your Olympic sport be? And why? I love it. Okay, so let me see. Oh, I have a question. Totally like a total switch of gears. Maybe Chris. Yes, sir.

I need your guys' help with something because I have a confession to make. All right. We've talked all, we spent a lot of time on the show. Yeah. Not like Star Wars or Disneyland level time, but we spent a lot of time recently talking about Fallout. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you hear that? Did you hear Chris? Did you hear that? Now, Panda loves this. You've watched every year. You're totally into it, Panda. Oh, yeah. And so I'm having a problem because I'm three episodes in with Chandler. Yeah. I don't like it, dude. Yeah.

I'm totally lost. It's not because I don't want to like it. I'm trying crazy to like it. I'm totally lost. I don't know what's going on. I don't really like Lucy now. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't really like, you know, I can't really get into it, man. In fact, it's kind of bumming me out and depressing me a little bit. So I'm, you know, Pan is a huge, I mean, Chris and Pan and I, we're all huge Fallout games players. You haven't played the games as much, but this is very much in our wheelhouse and even I'm struggling with it. Whoa.

hundreds and hundreds of hours into all these games. We haven't talked about this yet. Yeah, stayed away from it for the show, but apparently we're not the only ones feeling this way, so... Yeah, you know, kind of the problem with the season, and even I'm seeing some problems with it, you know, and I'm still enjoying the season, but it's also because I'm such a huge fanboy of the New Vegas game, and, you know, it's included so much in this particular season, and there's storylines that I'm still really enjoying following, like Cooper Howard, who's known as the ghoul. The ghoul, yeah. I'm loving his storyline, and then Maximus is...

You know, he's becoming, yeah, he's becoming a badass. And, but there are certain parts of it that I, you know, one of the things we kind of touched on last time we talked about it was that unfortunately for just the general audience, it's going to be very confusing because they're getting so deep into the New Vegas lore that it doesn't translate over well. And in fact, they kind of don't do, you know. getting people to know certain factions from the game in the show very well. They don't explain it very well. There's no sound to it. All of a sudden, they're just talking about these different clans and different stuff. I'm like, what the hell is going on? I can't follow it. And not only that, I'm not really digging the characters anymore. In fact, one of the characters that I'm, you know, I loved her in the first season, the character of Lucy. Okay. Yeah. Yep. I don't like her in this season.

Thank you. I'm the exact same way. And, you know, as an avid Fallout player, Fallout's a dark game. It's a dark desperation, you know, just journey through a horrible land. You have to make choices that are very, very difficult to make in the game. Yeah. And there's nothing cheeky or funny about this. And there's, you know, season one had a bit of this where it was kind of like the cheeky monologues and keeping fun. And you can still follow the storyline. But season two, they're like these really bad Marvel level monologues that are trying to be just so cheeky, funny, dad jokey. I'm like, this isn't the game. Like, this is not Fallout at all. I want to be clear about something. I love Marvel.

Yeah. Please continue. Please continue. But it's hard to because there's so much lore into the New Vegas. And I love New Vegas. I played a ton. That game came out 16 years ago. It's an old game. It's a really, really old game. So people are having a hard time keeping like, wait, what happened with this game? Well, and then with the character of Lucy is they keep...

you know, making her a very naive character where she's already been out in this environment for a while, which you would think she would start to understand things a little bit harder. Yeah, she wouldn't be so, oh gosh darn, you know, like that kind of, yeah, okie dokie kind of a thing. She saw some shit in season one that most people would probably have PTSD. She was changing. She was changing though. She was. Yeah. And then in season two, like she's like right back to the whole okie dokie, I'm so dumb kind of character. And I'm like, that is not, that should not be her evolution in this show. I want a more badass character because

that's what she honestly deserves to be, instead of dumb. Her character is dumb. So, we've got to talk about the stats, because we all know, we talked about it before, I think, Nielsen's streaming stats. This is where they pick information about how many minutes are watched of a certain program and how popular it is. Yeah, right, right. So, for instance, let's start off with the benchmark, which was when Fallout started, you know, for season one, you know, last year, in April of 2024, I think it was. The first episode had 2.9 billion minutes watched. Wow. Holy cow. A lot. Which is good. And think about the Stranger Things at its time, at its peak, averages about 2.4.

So at one point, this is a more popular show than Stranger Things Season 4. So back to Season 2, Episode 1, the maximum it reached was 794 million. So it's dropped off by 2.2 billion minutes. So that's almost a 70%? Yeah, like 65%, give or take. Whoa. 72.6. 72.6%. Holy crap, man. Wow. Just to start Season 2. Yeah. So that's Episode 1 of Season 2. And obviously it's like 694 for the episode 2. And it's kind of like similar all the way through. So people who are sticking at it, but people are not watching Season 2.

who don't want it. There's no, like, drop-off. It's a drop-off between seasons, which is kind of unusual, because usually, you get a couple of episodes in, the storyline's not going well, character profile's not great, and then it basically, it pans, it goes down, but this didn't even pick up season two. So I thought it would be like a huge, I thought it would be like a huge jump onto the bandwagon, and then people would go like, I'm not following this, and then they leave. Yeah. No, it's not happening. No one's just straight up watching it. No, it's season two at all. And it's just hardcore fans like myself and Panda, which are kind of sticking by.

yeah okay okay wow i'm shocked to hear that actually well and you know i've got some ideas if they want to pick the numbers back up and if they want to save this show quite honestly is they need to put more focus on the the character of cooper howard who yeah the ghoul we need to focus more on his story because his story is actually very compelling lucy's honestly is not a very compelling story she has no story other than what's happened while she's been out well it's it's hard for like our generation because like you have ellen ripley like ripley is the ultimate badass female character that we all love and it's like she lucy could have easily turned into this just or 11 or 11 where you're like this is awesome and now she's just like huh I took a point. I didn't think about that. Okie dokie. And you're just like, oh my gosh. I can't hear that. It's like washi washi. I can't hear that one more freaking time. It's driving me insane. Yeah, and even the character of Maximus, who's with the Brotherhood of Steel, I think they should focus a little bit more on a B story with his character. I agree. Rather than so much on Lucy's journey. There's ways that they could actually get the show going again. And also, I mean, there's some certain...

Other factions that they could bring into the show, too, from not only New Vegas, but focus a little bit more on some of these and actually explain the stories behind them. Even the whole thing, it's not even a spoiler, but Macaulay Culkin being part of the new Roman Empire. The Legion felt so weird and so forced. I'm just like, what? I don't like it. What is this? You found a meme about Walton Goggins. It was Walton Goggins. It was like a news story. It said Walton Goggins is the ghoul. It said Walton Goggins hospitalized for a back injury on the set of Fallout 2.

He's been hospitalized for a back injury from carrying the entire season on his back. He's the only character I even remotely care about now. He's the only guy. I'm like, oh, I like this dude. And everything else, I'm like, oh, I'm so bored. Okay, so it's already been greenlit for season three, but season two is a disaster. Yeah. A 70% drop is huge. It still primes up until, like, The Night Manager. It's one of, you know, their premiere kind of products. It's still making 700, 800 million minutes an episode, which is still higher than, you know, it's still top 10 in the world. So it's still highly rated. He's just...

nowhere close to the phenomenon there's no competition for anything on prime either right now you know what i mean other than the night manager there's nothing else yeah and what i'm hoping with it too is you know kind of like some other series where you know like and or season two where For a little bit, it was a struggle to get through it. And I'm hoping that it'll kind of end up like that where all of a sudden all these things that are happening in some of the other, in the beginning parts will start to make more sense and it'll pick back up and just become a badass show again. I mean, I'm still going to watch it because I'm still enjoying it. Well, you're a completionist too, so even if it's crappy, you're still going to... I mean, and I'm liking it for the most part. It's just the character of Lucy. I'm just like...

Please fix this. I would love to see what you say. I don't know if I can hang with it, honestly. I would love to see what you think when you get to the end. Chris, are you going to stick with us the entire time, you think? I'll probably see. I'm not going to sit there on Wednesday and wait for it to land anymore. I'll be excited to watch it. I'll probably catch it when I can, when I have time. Do you think we're a bit of Prime fatigue with this stuff? It's Christmas. It's post-Christmas now into January. Is it the case that people are tanning their belts? The economy is pretty rough right now. Are they canceling their Prime subscriptions? It's just a little tough to watch right now. I'm interested in the feedback with the Ronin. Are the Ronin watching it all or no? Oh, no, no. I get where you're coming from because if I wasn't so entrenched in knowing

you know, everything from the game, you know, I would have been confused as well. Gotcha. Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, let's thank some goblins. Shout out. So thank you. Goblins are beautiful, are very, very talented and ultra, ultra sexy radio rona goblins. These fine elite individuals. They must, in order to be a goblin, invest 50 bucks a month in the show.

Hey, Denver's a good shipmate. He was my shipmate for a while. I would love to go sailing with the guy. I just, you know, that's a great dream, Denver. Now, maybe if I win the lottery, we'll do it. The first time Panda goes out sailing with Denver, I know it's like, Panda is the new Natalie Wood. I know what's going to happen. Is Christopher Walken on the boat? I'm going to push you over.

These men have taken a vow of celibacy like their fathers and their fathers before them.

Oh, man. That's not Ra's al Ghul in the first Batman, is it? No, no. He's taking them out of celibacy like their fathers and their fathers before them. That's got to be a comedy. I don't know. The Booth Boys have got me stuff. It sounds super familiar. Yeah, all right. It sounds stupid, so it's like a national house. Her Royal Highness was Jessica Terry. Jessica! Gina and Janae Green.

I think it was at a furniture store years ago. Oh, yeah. We were looking at our couch and Ray and Heather were there.

How does he smell? I'm Walden Goggins. I'm Fall Out. You are Fall Out. Marta, I disagree. That was a terrible Walden Goggins. That was awful. That was probably like Foghorn Leghorn with a cold.

Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you, boy. I love that you physically plugged your nose for that. I'm 200 years old. I'm 200 years old. Or he's like an old southern senator.

I tried to be the ghoul for fallout. I'm not on pain pills. He's got a jump taken out of his foot. Yeah.

He's got a way of making money for the rest of his life just because of that line. Yeah, honestly. The only acting experience he had before this was he was in a local car commercial in Chicago.

Go become a goblin, will you? It's at patreon.com forward slash Radio Ronan. I think we're going to try to do a Petit Anita again this year. That was our weekend. Yeah, he was. Yeah, he sent me a thing. He's like, Petit Anita loves you guys. They want to have you guys back, so we're definitely going to do it. It's just a question when we're going to do it now. Yeah, we should put another thing on Patreon. Goblins, let us know when you want to go. Maybe we'll put up a poll. Do we want to do it in the summer? Do we want to do it in the fall? I think the fall's a good time. The fall, I think, is the best time. I would agree with that. Sweet. Anyway, patreon.com forward slash Radio Ronan. Become a goblin. Do it. Radio Ronan wants you. Okay, Panda, you're still unemployed. Uh-huh.

And you're still watching a lot of movies. Oh, a ton. In fact, I watched this one just the other day. And it should be known you're not actually unemployed. No, I still have side gigs and other ways. You have like 58 jobs. Yeah. So anyway, we're calling this the Unemployed Movie Shoutout because you've got a little bit more time to watch movies. So what is our Unemployed Movie Shoutout today? All right. So this one is from 1976 and it's called Logan's Run. Oh, Michael York. Oh, yes. It's a great movie. I love this movie. I've never heard of this one.

Classic movie. Oh, yeah. I saw this. We have to watch this, Chandler. I saw it when I was a little kid and was immediately hooked because it was before Star Wars. And yeah, it's Michael York, the legendary British actor, Michael York. And it's just a beautiful, it's a beautiful sci-fi movie from the 70s. Very 70s, by the way. Oh, yeah. Very 70s. So it's got to be the 70s. Oh, yeah. Tara Fawcett's in it? Yes, she is. Hello.

She was in it for a short time, but she's still there. She's in all the movies in the 70s. She's in Saturn V. She's in the cannibal run. She's in Logan's run. For people who don't know Panda, what's the whole premise of this thing? Yeah, so it's set in kind of a dystopian future where essentially the outside world is kind of mostly died off and the...

people that are still currently living are in this kind of a domed city. It's a utopian society and a dystopian world. Exactly, and nobody lives past the age of 30. They're not allowed to. They're taken to what's called Carousel, and they're supposed to be renewed, but that's kind of a story that they're all told so that when their time comes that they go willingly. So people believe they're good. They're old and they're made young again. And this is a society, too, where they don't really have many rules. I mean, they're able to...

have sex with pretty much anybody in the society that they want, you know? 70s, free love, man, free love, even though that mostly came out of the 60s. But still, but this world is kind of crazy, and their idea of what, I think it takes place in 2270-something is when it's supposed to take place. And a police officer, well, he's kind of a police officer, in the future uncovers a deadly secret behind a society that worships youth. And basically he goes on the run when he's supposed to discover a few things. He's getting close to 30. He doesn't want to die. Yeah. And so he's like, I got to get out of here. And they actually have him go on the run earlier than he's supposed to because. Oh, that's right. Yeah. He's basically supposed to kind of find this place called Sanctuary and he's supposed to destroy it. But I mean, great movie. It's one of those I loved as a kid, especially because you do get to see a little bit of boobies. They're not done in a graphic way.

but they do. I don't remember the, I don't remember the boobies. Hello, dude. Yeah. There's at a point where they're, uh, you know, they're just coming out of this very frozen area after being soaked in water and they take their clothes off. Oh, sweet. I mean, and you've also gotten this movie, you've got, uh, Jenny Argater who, um, you'll know her from like a billion things. You've also got Richard Jordan in it. And then like, uh, Chris mentioned Farrah Fawcett's in this as well. Nice. And the great Michael York, who's fantastic. So yeah, everything. Yeah. This is just one of those movies. It's a classic. I mean,

Great movie. They even did a TV series a few years after this movie released, which I've never seen the series, so I think I'm going to have to go track it down. It was short-lived. It was short-lived, but it's on par. I think it's good. Nice. All right. So just one quick question. Yes, sir. There's a lot of mysteries in this movie. You'll have a lot of questions. The biggest question I have, however, is where can we watch this, Panda?

Well, it's not available on any services for free, but you can rent it or purchase it. I bought it for $5 on Fandango. Nice. Very cheap. We're getting some interference. Is it from your phone? Solar flare. Solar flare. Just watch Birdemic. Every question will be answered. Oh, yeah. So, very good. Okay, we have to go watch this now. Yes, we do. We have to go watch this now. Very good. All right, well, that is your show for your Thursday.

So the Olympics rapidly approaching. Get ready for all kinds of Olympic fun happening here on the show. Yep. All right. Have a great weekend. Go watch Logan's run. Yeah. Monday will be here before you know it. Keep your mile a day going, even though Chunga can't. I'll let everybody know on socials when I resume. Yeah. Hopefully in the next day or so. I'll wrap his foot in bubble wrap and we'll call it good. Although if Shannon has anything to do with it, it'll be two weeks before it happens. Yeah, probably. I'll let you guys know. Bad Meme Friday starts tonight if you're listening to the show on the day it comes out on Friday morning at midnight. There you go. Cool. Get your memes ready. Get those memes ready. Get those hurt, injured foot memes ready. And we'll see you when we see you.
