S1E1: Gabby Gooses

It starts with a laugh and a question you’ve probably never said out loud: why do bookstores make so many people need the bathroom? From there we spiral—joyfully—into the strange science of scent, comfort, and memory, and how places like Barnes & Noble and Tandy Leather flip switches in our bodies and brains. The smells we love aren’t just nice; they rewire how we feel and what we do.

We also ride the high of a life-changing Sleep Token concert and map out a plan to catch Ghost on tour, nerding out about stagecraft, setlists, and the quiet details that make a show feel like a ritual. Music becomes family language too: kids rename tracks (“the arm song”), parents negotiate what’s kid-safe, and we revisit the wild soundtrack of early 2000s school dances. It’s funny, nostalgic, and a little revealing about how taste is taught, not just found.

On the craft side, leatherworking is booming, and the smell alone could be a therapy session. We talk custom orders, the comfort of making, and why a simple cord keeper can become a fidget talisman. Then we dig into focus: Kraken Intense Focus as a jitter-free nudge and the Legion community that surprised us with how warm and non-toxic it is. Cosplay threads, gamers, creators—the kind of Discord that actually feels like a living room.

We wrap with what’s next: dragons, holiday lore weird enough to deserve a spotlight, a Christmas movie hill we’re ready to die on, food hot takes that may start wars, and the dad episode we’re both terrified and thrilled to record. New episodes now drop on Wednesdays, and the goose energy is officially honking. If you laughed, learned something, or felt seen, share this with a friend who needs a smart, silly listen. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us your strangest store-trigger story—we’ll read the best ones on the show.

I don't know why I said that.

SPEAKER_03 (04:47):

Through the microphone, I youknow, because I hear everything
through the headphones as we'redoing this, and it sounds very
different, very sensitive.
So yeah.

So now we joke because they'rebig Harry Potter fans in this

(08:07):
family.
Um they joke that nine andthree-quarters, they call him.
There is, I don't care whatanyone says, the greatest
picture in existence.
They took a family trip down toHarry Potter World.
He is at platform nine andthree-quarters.
He is standing under the signand he has his hands up with

(08:29):
just this doofy face ever.
Oh, that's awesome.
It is the greatest picture thatexists.
Because my buddy, I it's justbecause he just has that, like I

Like as he's standing under withhis nine and three-quarters
fingers.

(08:49):
I love it.
I fucking love it so much.

SPEAKER_03 (08:51):
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
Um, you know, one thing, justvery briefly, that we never
talked about.
And it was like the biggestthing that's happened to me all
year.

SPEAKER_01 (09:14):
I'll talk for as long as you want to talk about
whatever.

SPEAKER_03 (09:17):

entire life.
Like, there's like, you know,the birth of my daughter, and

then that concert for me.

SPEAKER_01 (09:46):

close to two.
So close.
Like I don't I don't I'm reallybad at measurements.

(10:09):
I don't know how many yards orfeet away from him, but I could
s I could see every littlemovement that he was doing.
And you know that I'm obsessedwith his drumming.
It was right, rightfully so.
It was it was just so good.
So good.

SPEAKER_01 (10:27):
Their stage setup is a little bit different.
They're not like yourtraditional band that has just
the drummer dead center.
Like he's off to the side.

SPEAKER_03 (10:34):
He's off to the side up in like this like elevated,
like little grotto.

SPEAKER_01 (10:40):
Um like what is it?
It's like a rock wall kind ofthing that looks right.
So it's like Yeah.
So it's like, I know I I know II'll probably have one friend
who'll get upset with me fortalking about sleep token right
now, but we love him anyway.
Anywho, their stage setup islike pretty fuck I think that's
pretty fucking cool.
Like they have like if anyonehasn't seen it, you know what my

(11:02):

Like, that's what I kind of feltlike.
Like you had the saxophone guyover there, you had the drummer

But fucking Ghost is going backout.

(16:41):
their albums.
Please don't yell at me.
Um, but it was the album whenthey um with uh Cerise is on it.
So that's we're talking uhfucking um Cerise.
He is um it's probably myfavorite album.

(17:03):
I think Mummy Dust is on thatone.
It's fucking great.
I love that album.

SPEAKER_03 (17:08):
I'm telling you, like talk about uh a spiritual
experience.
If I ever got to see them playCerise live, that would be that
would be a spiritual experiencefor sure.

SPEAKER_01 (17:22):
I'm I'm pretty sure, don't quote me on this one, but
I'm pretty sure that song is onthere never goes away.
Like, you know, the everyEveryone knows when there's like
a new album that comes out,yeah, you gotta play a bunch of
stuff off the new album, butthen you know you play the songs
that everyone wants to hear.
I'm pretty sure that's one oflike the four that they will
always play.

(17:42):
I don't quote me on that, butI'm pretty sure.
Because I want to say theyalways play the same.
Like, whenever you go to seeGhost until you till the end of
time, you're going to get um.
I want to say they've beenending the show the same way
every single time since they hadthese songs.

(18:03):
They do um I think it's likeMummy Dust, Kiss the Goat, Dance
Macabre, Square Hammer.
Like those are the last foursongs of the night for like a
long time, I want to say.
At least the past like three orfour tours.
Um and you know, and then theychange a couple of them, and
you're always gonna get MarianaCross now because that song,

(18:27):
that song I feel is the reasonwhy they are so known and they
blew up over the because oneperson got a hold of that song
on TikTok and they just ghostwas fucking everywhere.

SPEAKER_03 (18:36):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (18:37):
Everywhere.

SPEAKER_03 (18:38):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (18:39):
Don't get me wrong.
I fucking love that song.
Uh, but it's like, yeah, it justthat's all you gotta do.
You just gotta get on one trendyTikTok and then everything.
Anywho, um Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (18:53):
So yeah, I'm still uh scheming and planning and
keeping my fingers crossed thatuh something will work out.

SPEAKER_01 (19:03):
Yeah, yeah, no.
A buddy of mine's a really,really big fan of the band, and
I've been talking with him aboutit.
He goes, like, hey, if you own,you know, you want to go to this
one, you want to go to that one?
And I was just like, bro, youpay for me to go there, and I'm
that's the problem.
It's not getting there.
He was like, I can get ustickets and so on and so forth.
So I know that like there's ahigh possibility that the ticket
isn't the problem.

(19:23):
It's just the getting there.
Because like shit costs money,and well, you don't got any.
It's hard to do shit.
It's hard to do shit.
Right.
And when you have and when youhave two kids, you gotta make
sure taken care of.

SPEAKER_03 (19:39):
Right.

unknown (19:39):
Right.

SPEAKER_01 (19:40):
But honestly, that's that's honestly that's the easy
part.
The kid, believe it or not, thekids are the easy part in this
equation.

SPEAKER_03 (19:47):
Right.

SPEAKER_01 (19:48):
Which is wild to me.
But we'll find out in the case.

SPEAKER_03 (19:53):
I love the fact that uh your your little one that's
you know, can can uh you know,amble around and speak, um loves
uh ghost and sleep token.

SPEAKER_01 (20:12):
It's just music in general.
I think it's really cute becauseit's like she can associate
certain things with certainsongs and whatnot.
I think we talked about it uh Ithink it was the other one of
the episodes or maybe one of mylives or something like that
one.
But when she says certainthings, once the first time she

(20:32):
hit me with this one, she comesrunning over to me, she goes,
Papa, pop, I want to listen tothe arm song.
It's like the arm song.
So I'm gonna listen to the armsong.
I was like, What?
Oh, okay, yeah.
So I put like on the hokeypokey, you know, you put your
arm in, your arm out.
I was like, oh my gosh, she'slike, no, the arm song.
I was like, yeah, your arm in.
I saw like a skip ahead of thepart.
She goes, no.
And then she just starts going,um around me.

(20:55):
Um she just starts huggingherself and like bopping around,
and I'm like, oh my god, shewants me to put on sleep token.
Okay, absolutely.
So let's do that one.
And then um perfect.
So she did that, that was one ofthem.
Um when she's when she says shewants to listen to music, she

(21:15):
says she wants to dance, and sheput on her dancing shoes.
And I put on my dancing shoes.
When she says she put on herdancing shoes, she wants to
listen to Dance McCabre.

SPEAKER_03 (21:22):
Oh cool.

SPEAKER_01 (21:23):
Because they released like the the whatcha
call it of um the audio fortheir uh for the movie, or the
movie action might be releasednow too, but right here, right
now, released their like livevideo.
They did like their performancevideo that they did.
And I think I think it's thatone, but it's one of their live
versions of that song.
It's like my favorite version ofthat song.

(21:45):
And so if I go to play it, Iplay that one.
And Papari Mertos, he has a uhhe has a little intro that he
does.
He uh you know he's getting thecrowd going and goes like he
says something along the linesof like, Did you bring your
dancing shoes?
I hope you have your dancingsomething about dancing shoes,
right?
And then they start playing thefucking song, right?
And she loves it, and it's justlike if you don't know the song,

(22:05):
it's one of the catchiestfucking boppy songs ever.
And she'll start just likejumping around and dancing, also
the kind of fun shit to thatone.
I love it.
That's great.

SPEAKER_02 (22:14):
That's great.
I do Crazy Train.

SPEAKER_01 (22:18):

She wants to listen to CrazyTrain.
And so on.
It just it goes.
She has a little, she hasspecific, like, uh I don't know.
She has specific ways of sayingshe wants to listen to certain
songs because she doesn't knowthe names of the songs yet.

SPEAKER_03 (22:34):
Yeah.
No, that's I I love it when kidslike latch onto something and
they have their own title.
They have their own it's theirown words for whatever song.

SPEAKER_01 (22:47):
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
The arm song, that was that waspeak for me.

SPEAKER_03 (22:51):

I just hold it.

SPEAKER_01 (22:54):
I get worried if there's other songs that she
like hears and latches on to.
I make sure there are there areright now because she is at that
age, I'm starting to be very,very careful.
I mean, I have been for a while,but now I'm very careful with
like certain, you know, youknow, obviously with like
certain things that like youknow, like I watch around here
and we do and we say and welisten to.

(23:15):
I'm definitely the I'mdefinitely the type of person
who's like, there's no suchthing as bad words, just weak
people.
Yeah.
So you know, there there'scertain levels you don't want
your, you know, you want yourkid to have class.
So you don't want them beinglike gross or whatever and like
swearing like crazy, but at thesame time though, like I'm not
gonna, you know, I'm not gonnafucking punish her if like she

(23:36):
trips and she hits her knees andshe goes, oh fuck.
Like, I'm not gonna punish herfor that.
You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 (23:41):
Yeah, yeah.
They're words, and you're anduh, you know, it's a it's a
lesson you have to learn.
There are time that there arecertain words that are
appropriate at certain times,and it's not even just like
curse words, it's there's allkinds of words that are
appropriate at different times.
So it's good, it's a good lessonfor him.

SPEAKER_01 (24:02):
Exactly.
Profanity is like comedy, it'sall about the timing.

SPEAKER_03 (24:06):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (24:07):

But um, so like there arecertain um I don't give a shit.
I'm still watching Lord of theRings runner.
I'm gonna fly fuck.
She loves Lord, she loves Lordof the Rings.
She loves Lord of the Rings.
She really does.
She'll say she wants to do thatone.
And I know I'm probablyupsetting a lot of people when I

(24:27):
say this one.
I think her favorite right nowis Desolation of Smog.
Because because there's afucking dragon in it, and to
her, a dragon is just a flyingdinosaur.
So dragons, so she's like, fuckyou.
She wants to watch the dragonone.
She's like, I want to watch Lordof the Rings.

I was like, you know what?
Out of those three movies, thatone's my favorite, so why not?
Anywho.

(24:48):
So, yeah, no, she definitelyloves Lord of the Rings, and
she'll like sit there and she'lljust like lock into it for the
most part.
But um, I I don't know.
I can't uh what is it?
Like uh like like Rick andMorty.
I'm not gonna watch Rick andMorty around her because that's
one that's not a kid show, butit's a cartoon, and I don't want
her to think, oh, because it's acartoon, I can watch this, you
know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 (25:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (25:09):
So shit like that.
Um But yeah, no, then there'salso some songs say I don't need
her latching on to certain, youknow.
Let's just put it this way.
I don't want to listen to songsthat I would use in any of my
TikToks.
I don't want to listen to any ofthose songs around her too much
because I don't need her tolatch on to some of those, and
you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 (25:27):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (25:28):
And yeah.
Um like I don't need her tryingto come up with with a word, a
way to associate with like likeprovider or something like that.

Yeah, I had a couple of thosemoments.

SPEAKER_00 (25:59):
Do tell.

SPEAKER_03 (26:00):
Oh, uh, well, I was trying to think of the name of
the song.
It was a Britney Spears song,and I think it I'm trying to
remember what album it was.
Um was it a circus album orsomething?
Uh there was a song on there,something like Leather and Lace.

(26:21):
Something like that.
And yeah, Maddie latched ontothat, and she would get in the
car, and she would be sometimesit was the George Monkey music,
which which was the soundtrackto um the I think it was like
the live action Curious George.

SPEAKER_02 (26:40):
Uh-huh.
Yep.

SPEAKER_03 (26:41):
Um, you know, Jack Johnson did that whole and then
like anything Jack Johnson,yeah.
It's kid friendly, you know,whatever.
It's like raffy.
And then uh then she would shewould ask for the the I'm trying
to think remember what shecalled it.
Um she may have called it likethe the leather leather song or

(27:05):
something.
And I was like, oh shit.
Yeah, played that one.
Like, and then I think I onlyplayed it like once, maybe twice
or something, but she latched onto that song.
She she I mean, you know, justsometimes catchy song, but yeah,
so that's the thing.

SPEAKER_01 (27:22):
They make it catchy, and I was just like, you know,
it shit's gonna catch on, youknow what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 (27:27):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (27:28):
And uh that's that's pretty fucking funny.
Oh, that's pretty good.
Yeah.
What was the um oh shit?
There was uh what was I gonnasay?
Oh, that's what it was, yeah.
It was like associating andthings like that.
It's just I love how there'slike you know, there was that

(27:49):
wave of like the late 90s intolike the early 2000s, or maybe
it's just when I can rememberit, because obviously music is
all there's always been songsthat have um different meanings
and whatnot.
Not every song is like not everysong is like Freak Alique by
Petey Papa, where it's just inyour fucking face, like what the

(28:09):
fuck the song's about.
Right.

SPEAKER_03 (28:11):
You know what I mean?
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (28:13):
So like, and yeah, then there's uh fuck, even Made
for Loving You by Kiss.
That's very in your face whatthat song's about, you know?

SPEAKER_03 (28:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (28:21):
There's plenty of them.
It was like, oh, the you know, Iwas like, oh, this song's about
this.
It's like actually no, it'sabout getting, you know, it's
like, oh, this song's about likeovercoming obstacles.
And I was like, no, this one'sabout coming over obstacles and
getting fucking railed, butclose, you know what I mean?
Not every song is like that, butI feel like in the late 90s
until like maybe like 2000, liketwo, 2003, there was just so

(28:43):
many of them, and it was like somany like pop stars like Britney
Spears and Christine Aguileraand Yada Yada.
So it got so like the pop musicof the day, I feel got that
really bad stigma that it's justfilth and trash and it's all
about sex and whatever, andthings like that one.
Cause I'll never forget this.
It was so fucking funny that Idon't even remember who the hell

(29:08):
it was that did this.
I can't remember the rapper thatdid the song, but there was the
song Do Ya Chain Hang Low.
Because once again, from likethe 2000s to the 2010s, yeah,
that was you know, hip-hopevolved, music evolved, music
changes, hip-hop evolves,hip-hop changes, you know.
So there was like there wasgangster rap in like the 90s,

(29:31):
and it was just like hardcoreand it was violent, and like
fuck the police and straight outof Compton and so on and so
forth, right?
And then there was then we kindof transitioned to that, then it
was transitioning to likeexactly.
Then we had things like um CandyShop, Magic Stick, PMP.

(29:51):
Then we had a lot of sexuallycharged, yet anything by Pretty
Ricky.
So, and then there was the thenthere was rap music about like
just being.
Rich and just like bawling thefuck out, like having like
millions and millions of dollarsand buying cars and popping
bottles, all this other funstuff, and about your jewelry
that you had and shit.
So this song was legit aboutthis dude.

(30:11):
Like that was the that was thething, that was the trend, that
was the fad, that was the style.
Dudes were in like 2XL, eventhough they were like a men's
medium.
They were in a 2XL white T extralong.
Right?
Remember that?

SPEAKER_03 (30:28):
Yeah, oh yeah.

Oh fun shit.
And long motherfucking chains.
Yeah.
Long motherfucking chains.
Literally, like whatevermedallion you had was literally
like at your belly button orlike your crotch and the chain,
all the right.
So the dude wrote a song, Do YoChain Hang Lout, and it was
about his necklaces and hisjewelry and whatever.
And my parents were like, Stoplistening to that bullshit.
He's singing about his dick.
And we're like, no, he's not.

SPEAKER_03 (37:58):
Do you know that there was a uh study?
I wish um I wish Scott was herebecause he knows all about this
study.

SPEAKER_01 (38:07):
Um of course he would know about a weird fucking
obscure study.

SPEAKER_03 (38:10):
Right.
So uh with um like bookstoreslike Barnes and Noble and um you
know all these, there is a veryspecific phenomenon that happens
to people when they go intothose stores that they have to
use the bathroom.

(38:31):
There's the there's an actualstudy, like it there's something
about those stores.
I don't know if it's the smellof the books, so you're you feel
relaxed, but your system relaxesto the point where you're like,
I gotta find a bathroom.

SPEAKER_01 (38:46):
Okay, as soon as we're done with this recording,
I'm immediately going online andI'm finding the crackpot
conspiracies on that.
Because if there's actualstudies that are being done,
like why does this happen?
Also, I was like, there is somecrackpot out there.
It's just like the government'sturning the frogs gay and making
you shit yourself in thebookstore.
Like, I need to find that.
I need to find Alex Jones' takeon why you have to piss every

(39:10):
time you go into a bookstore.
I need that, I absolutely needthat.

SPEAKER_03 (39:13):
I I should I should clarify, it's not necessarily
you have to pee, it's you haveto poop.
It's very specific.

SPEAKER_01 (39:21):
Even better.
That's even better.
That's so much funnier.
I don't know why making someonepoop is funny than making
someone have to pee, but it isfunnier.
And I need to see Alex Joneslosing his fucking mind off of
why Barnes and Noble, why thenonfiction section moves your
bowels like you sing bolt.
I need to see this.

(39:42):
I need to see this in my life.
Because that's that's completelyridiculous.

SPEAKER_03 (39:49):
Yeah, and I can't, I swear I think that they have
like a name for it, and I cannotthink of it.
I'll I'll uh I'll I'll get allof uh Scott's research and and
forward it to you.

SPEAKER_01 (40:03):
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
I love that's that's that's thetype of information that I'm
here for.
That's the type of like studies,like this is the content that
we're after, right?

unknown (40:20):
Right.

SPEAKER_01 (40:21):
This is what I need.
I need very serious and darkevents that we make way too many
fucking jokes about, and I needstudies of why people poop in
bookstores.
This is my calling, this is whyI was born.

SPEAKER_03 (40:36):
Yeah.
Now, for me, I will say, becauseScott and I, we've talked about
this quite often um because Ihave that same effect, uh, not
that I have to go poop oranything, but um, but every time
I go into like a TJ Maxx,uh-huh, I have to pee every

(40:56):
single time.
And I have to like make a I walkinto the store, you know, mill
around, you know, the differentsections.
I can get through like twosections, and all of a sudden
it's like a prairie dog.
I like put my head up and I'mlike, oh, where's the bathroom?
Every single time.
And and I think that's like howwe got started on this.
And he was like, Well, you know,there's a study about Barnes and

(41:19):
Noble.
Uh, yeah.
It's a weird, it's a weird thingwhat what stores will do to you.

SPEAKER_01 (41:28):

Um, we are gonna have anotherlovely special guest on, and
we're gonna talk about in hereyes, um I I'm pretty sure she

(47:29):
thinks it's the greatest movieever made, and it's a beloved
family timeless classic thatjust there's so I think what
makes what continues to makethat movie so great, not just
that it it it refuses to die inpop culture, there's always one
little breadcrumb of that movie,but then you learn so much more
about like the backstories andlike the filming of it, and it

(47:53):
just makes you love that movieso much fucking more.
At least for me it does.

SPEAKER_03 (47:58):

And same thing, she knowsanything and everything, not
just like she could probablyquote the whole movie from

And he goes, and I'm just gonnago the moon landing and then
bounce, and then just fuckinglike run away.

SPEAKER_00 (50:27):

It has to happen.
I have a feeling like our dadsare gonna become friends after
that episode, because I I reallydo.

SPEAKER_01 (50:58):
I I really do.
It's just so funny.
Yeah, I'm telling you, wheneverwhenever we talk about the dad
episode, you mentioned your dad,or whatever dads are brought up,
we're having the conversation.
I just think of that fuckingclip you sent of your dad after
Texas Roadhouse with thepeanuts.
He was like, Oh my god, we madeout like freaking bandit.
Like it was the sweetest, mostpurest video.

(51:22):
He's got his little accent.
He's so happy.
I don't think I've ever seen aheterosexual man so happy over
so many nuts in his face.
Ever.
He was so he had like a toy,like an innocent twinkle in his
eye.
It was we made out like afreaking bandit.
It was, I love it.
That video lives rent-free in myhead.

(51:43):
I swear to God.

SPEAKER_03 (51:46):
So yeah, we yeah, yeah.
He he loves going to thatrestaurant and getting his
little pack of peanuts.
And if he can squirrel- My dadtoo! If he can squirrel away
like an extra pack or an extracouple packs, like and and and I
will, I, and I will say, there'sprobably on their kitchen

(52:07):
counter, uh, I would say atleast six of those bags are just
laying there.
I love it so much.
Yeah.
Man is obsessed with his uhpeanuts from Texas Roadhouse.
Texas Roadhouse, yeah.
Some people go for the rolls, hegoes for the peanuts.

SPEAKER_01 (52:26):
He goes for the peanuts.
I'm I need to dude, he it wasprobably a tough time for him,
and he probably fell into alittle bit of a depression when
they took away the barrels andwhatever.
And now you just got the packsof them.
I can I can see the okay.

SPEAKER_03 (52:48):
No, so the last thing that I wanted to talk
about is something that um I amnow involved in.
You've been involved in forquite a while.
The mafia, yes.
The mafia.
Um, yeah, just yeah, yeah.
So you better listen to us orwe're gonna send people.

(53:08):
Um, no, the um Hello?
It's Joe Fucking Pesci.

SPEAKER_02 (53:16):
Anyway.

SPEAKER_03 (53:17):
The um, you know, the Kraken and the you know,
intense focus and all of that.
Um, I just want to talk a littlebit about that since, you know,
I've been kind of brought in tothe fold.

SPEAKER_00 (53:36):
One of us.

SPEAKER_03 (53:37):
One of us.
So, um, and we're gonna, youknow, we're gonna put some uh
codes and stuff in.
Um you'll you'll notice them inthe show notes, and um and it it
really is.
So, Kyle, do you want to talkabout the product a little bit
and then why?

(53:59):
I can tell I can tell why Ienjoy the products, but I think
it hits you a littledifferently.

SPEAKER_01 (54:08):
Alright, I'll do my best so that Randy doesn't yell
at me.

SPEAKER_03 (54:10):
Right, right.

SPEAKER_01 (54:11):
Well, listen, I can't talk without swearing
blood, so fucking deal with it.
Legendary supplements, ourflagship, uh Yeah, flagship, is
that the word we use?
Uh product we have is uh KrakenIntense Focus.
Think of like a five-hourenergy, but kind of like works.

(54:32):
So it's not it's not like anenergy drink or like an energy
supplement.
It's not designed to like, youknow, give you the super, you
know, you're not you're notgonna jitter, there's not an
insane amount of caffeine inthem.
They're literally like they'reis they're essentially they're
like a shot.
They're like one, two ounces,maybe something like that, like
little tiny little b bottle boyslike that.

(54:55):
And I forget the big scientificname, but they're like uh they
mess with the nootropics, notmess with, but they trigger the
nootropics in your brain.
So the nootropics are the littlefocusing parts of your brain,
the little connections andpeople with all sorts of other
PhDs and ADHDs and L C Ds andLSDs and other letters past

(55:16):
their name will be able toexplain it better.
But it's what helps you umfocus, pay attention, lock in as
we say, whatever you wannawhatever words you wanna use for
that one, because clearly I needsome because I can't shut the
fuck up.
Um But what's one thing thatdragged me what what's one thing

(55:39):
that really dragged me to thecompany Fuck it.
I've told Randy this like ahundred thousand times and he
hasn't told me not to say this,so I'm just going to.
I'm gonna be honest, when Ifirst heard about the company, I
want to say they reached out tome.
It was through social media.
Um they reached out to me, Ireach out to them, it doesn't
matter.
Um I was just kind of startinggetting into like really like

(55:59):
using my social media and alsothe kind of fun stuff, and I was
just like, hey, this company,want to be a part of this and do
this one?
And I was like, cool.
Best case scenario, I get abunch of free shit.
Worst case scenario is we don'tgive out free shit and have a
good day.
So that's literally wh why theconversation started with them.
And there was so much of like Idon't want to say like a

(56:19):
screening process, but therereally was like an interview.
Like I met with there was like avideo call with like the owner,
Randy, and with the otherpeople.
And you know, the other peoplethat he had, you know, has
running and whatnot.
So like you genuinely are likethere was so much of like being
a part of their community andactually like being a part of

(56:40):
their company, not just not justa fucking cog in their machine,
not just someone to help themout with this one.
They genuinely give a shit.
And so the fun the funny thingI'm trying to coin with the
company right now is you comefor the Kraken, but you stay for
the Legion.
That's what like the likethey're uh that's what it is.
It's it's it's the legendary thelegendary Legion, I think, is

(57:01):
the other um it's the unsunghero of the um of the company.
Because the products productssell themselves.
They're either gonna sell orthey don't.
So I don't go super crazy like Ipromote, you know, I yeah, I
talk about it, I promote it,whatever I you know, that I love
the products and I use themmyself, like I'm a mother,
because I feel that theygenerally do work.
But the unsung hero, the reasonwhy I stayed is because of is

(57:25):
because of the Legion, isbecause of the community they
have built, brought together oflike the uh someone put it
together the other someone saidit the other day, the uh it's
like the child and misfit andtoys, but for like streamers,
gamers and nerds.

SPEAKER_03 (57:40):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (57:40):
Uh it's like the outcasts and you know, pe you
know, these and you know, thego, it's the weird kids, this,
it's that, it's the nerd, it'sthe tabletop gamers, it's the sh
like it's the streamers, it'sthe cosplayers.
They all have their place tobelong.

unknown (57:53):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (57:53):
Everyone is seen, everyone's heard, there's
nothing.
Yeah, I can't I cannot speakhigh enough of the Legion and
the community that they'vebuilt.

unknown (58:02):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (58:02):
I'll stop getting all Sally Sob stories on that
one.

SPEAKER_03 (58:05):
Um Well, and and I will say, you know, like as
somebody that's come into, and Ihaven't been like super active,
I I lurk more than thananything, but I will say that
um, and I've been a part of, youknow, several Discord
communities, and you know,people will often tell you that

(58:28):
there's a lot of like toxicityand dysfunction that you find in
Discord, right?
And so a lot of people like areleery.
I will say that the Legion isprobably one of the most
non-toxic environments I've everseen.

(58:50):
Everyone is so kind andwelcoming with each other,
encouraging, um, very uplifting.
It is it truly is a place wherepeople can find a comfortable um
home on the internet for thethings that you're into, you

(59:11):
know.
Um I I love the the sections,you know, people show off their
cosplays or talk about, youknow, what they're what they're
planning, and you know, peoplereally get into those
conversations and you know, justthe just the gaming and it it
really is such a uh coolenvironment to to be a part of.

(59:33):
Um and I will also say, youknow, one of the things, you
know, and and knowing Kyle, um,and I and I had met Randy
through through Kyle um andstarted seeing like the
advertisements and stuff for theproduct.
And I am one of these thatenergy drinks typically don't

(59:54):
work on.
They're high in caffeine, highin sugar, and for whatever
reason, I have like this.
This adverse reaction to highlevels of caffeine.
I get sleepy.
Um, it it it will put me tosleep.
Um so you know, I heard his kindof pitch in all of this, and I

(01:00:16):
tried it, and it really, itreally does um, you know, like
help you focus.
I mean, I I can't, I don't knowthe science behind it, and I
don't know like all the ins andouts.
I just know that for somebodywho typically can't do energy
drinks, I can do this and it andit really works.

(01:00:37):
Um, I use it at work.
Like if I have to go into likean intense meeting or something
that I really, you know, likeI'm doing reporting or something
that I have to really focus on.
Um, I will do one of those andand it and it really helps.
Um I've taken it when, you know,like I've had a late night

(01:00:59):
gaming, you know, but if you'rea gamer, you definitely I think
should try this um to try thisproduct.
Um they have a lot of new thingscoming out, and uh, and and so
you're you know, I I think oneof our things that we want to is
it we're not officially umsponsored by you know the the

(01:01:22):
the company, but we're bothinvolved um in in this to to
different degrees, and we havecodes that we can give out so
you can get discounts onproducts and try new products.
So you'll be seeing and hearingmore about um Kraken as we um or
the uh legendary products, youknow, all of all of the

(01:01:47):
different stuff um as we moveforward as silly gooses is.

SPEAKER_01 (01:01:51):
Silly gooses is yeah, yeah.
I don't know when we're lookingto air this one or dry this one,
but like we got, I think westill have the uh no, because
the game launches today slashtomorrow.
So I think the the Call of Dutysale promo we were doing is
gonna go is gonna be gone, butget ready for like the Black

(01:02:12):
Friday sales that we're gonnado, because we gotta compete
with a lot of other companies.
So get ready for us todefinitely show our hand on
that.

SPEAKER_03 (01:02:22):

SPEAKER_01 (01:02:22):

grape and the watermelon prettysoon.
It said new products, so thecandy is in the final stages of
the beta testing, I want to say.
So we should be gettingofficially launching the candy
relatively soon.
