1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,920
Welcome to Nice Ashes, I'm Mike.

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:09,920
And I'm Nate.

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,320
What are we smoking this episode, Mike?

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,600
Even though we alluded to it last episode.

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:15,700
We did.

6
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:21,760
We have an Oliva Series G box pressed Robusto Maduro.

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,660
Yep, so this one should be darker.

8
00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:29,800
It looks darker, although we did have to put ours in the sunlight to distinguish the Cameroon

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:35,760
versus the Maduro, but with enough light and the right kind of light, it is easily distinguishable.

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:36,760
Yes.

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:37,760
But in the shade.

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,360
Yes, in the shade of the smoking porch.

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,360
Perhaps not.

14
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,360
I gotta borrow yours.

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,360
You're about half lit.

16
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,360
Perfect.

17
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,360
Nice, nice.

18
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,560
So I feel like it's significantly darker.

19
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,560
It is.

20
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,000
Like more significant than the wrapper shades would have you.

21
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Oh yeah.

22
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Have you believe.

23
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
That is spicy.

24
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Yes, it is.

25
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000
That is spicy.

26
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,200
Yes, it is.

27
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,840
That is like the hot takes we have that we cut out of the episode, Spice.

28
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:03,840
Yes, yes.

29
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,880
Those may or may not be released later on, but probably not.

30
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:09,880
Probably not.

31
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:10,880
Probably not.

32
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:11,880
Probably not.

33
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,080
But just know that if we ever were to launch a Patreon or a fan club or some sort of thing,

34
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,720
that there is plenty of content that's already out there that we've recorded and not released.

35
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,680
So not full episodes by any stretch, but there have been episodes where there's been a good

36
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,400
20 minute segment tangent excised from the runtime.

37
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,400
Yes.

38
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,960
If we ever become independently wealthy and cannot be canceled like JK Rowling.

39
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:37,960
Yes.

40
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:39,320
Or RFK Jr.

41
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:40,320
Yes.

42
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:43,000
And then you'll see a whole lot more content of a different sort.

43
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,520
We have a plethora of beverages before us.

44
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,520
We do.

45
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,520
Because Mike's a bad influence.

46
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,520
That's what it is.

47
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,200
No, I'm just kidding.

48
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,880
But we are still in person, so we've done three episodes in person.

49
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,600
And usually we like to add a drink per episode.

50
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,600
So the first one we had the coffee and Johnny Walker.

51
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,880
And then the second episode we still had just the Johnny Walker.

52
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:04,880
We had different kind of coffee though.

53
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:05,880
Different kind of coffee.

54
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,080
And then now this is the third episode.

55
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,840
So we've got the Johnny Walker, we've got port and we've got whiskey sour.

56
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:12,840
So there we go.

57
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,400
And Mike just slammed his Johnny Walker and I've got a little bit left.

58
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,320
But to be fair, he's nursed that one glass of Johnny Walker for three episodes.

59
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,320
So yes, I have.

60
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,840
I took a tremendous willpower.

61
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,040
Because I love me some Johnny Walker black.

62
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,040
Yes.

63
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,040
Always interesting.

64
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,760
What are we talking about, Mike?

65
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,240
So this is a hot topic on the internet.

66
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,240
Haha.

67
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,560
Always has been, always will be.

68
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,400
We are going to talk about our everyday carry.

69
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,600
Or as the acronym people love to call it, EDC.

70
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,840
But I am acronym adverse.

71
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,840
So there you go.

72
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,840
Absolutely.

73
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:56,600
So I think that starting out as a young man and realizing you had to carry a wallet for

74
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,280
driver's license and money and stuff.

75
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,000
When I first started carrying a wallet, I didn't have any cards.

76
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000
But I was born in the 86.

77
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,720
So there wasn't really a plethora of cards.

78
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,000
I think there were debit cards.

79
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,920
They just like relatively new.

80
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:14,600
I mean, a lot of people did checks still.

81
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,600
Some people still do checks.

82
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,040
Some people still do checks.

83
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,920
But I started out with just the regular back carry wallet.

84
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:28,840
And since then, when you first realize there are things you carry with you every day.

85
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:36,000
And I used to have quite a big key chain with keys for my apartment, my dad's house, our

86
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,280
family cabin, just all these different keys.

87
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,280
Like, oh, you've got a copy of the keys.

88
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,620
I just keep them on me.

89
00:03:42,620 --> 00:03:46,880
But since then, I've really kind of leaned hard into the minimalism.

90
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:47,880
Yes.

91
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,320
And the minimalism movement.

92
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:54,120
And some of the things I'm going to talk about should hopefully be sanctioned by minimalistic

93
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,240
societies or communities, fan groups.

94
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,240
Yes.

95
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,240
I don't know.

96
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,240
But we'll see.

97
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,240
We'll get into it.

98
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,240
I used to be hardcore into the minimalism.

99
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,400
And then I developed this person, got older.

100
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,080
And my personal preferences changed because my life circumstances changed.

101
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,080
So I have a setup for minimalism.

102
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,120
And then I have a more robust, let's call it.

103
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,120
OK.

104
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,720
And we can do that too, because when we are preparing these kind of lists, we did the

105
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,560
one on appliances, devices, tools.

106
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:30,440
And this one with the EDC stuff, I kind of took it to be what is on me 100% of the time.

107
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,160
If I leave my house, the things I'm first going to talk about are always on me.

108
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,520
If I'm going away for a weekend, I've got a different complement of EDC things, which

109
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,680
I can certainly talk about afterwards.

110
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,640
But I thought it'd be interesting for the everyday, like, OK, I'm going to go out to

111
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,160
the grocery store and come back.

112
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,160
Yes.

113
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,400
But this stuff's always with me, even if it's just a quick run to the grocery store.

114
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Yes.

115
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,600
Well, there's different levels.

116
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,600
Because my day-to-day work, I'm going to be carrying a different set of tools, so to speak,

117
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,120
versus if I'm going on weekend versus just going to the store.

118
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,120
Yes.

119
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,120
OK.

120
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,120
Well.

121
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,120
What do you want to start with, Mike?

122
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,840
We can do the same thing we did last time.

123
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:15,680
We can just start her off.

124
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,640
I never leave the house without a set of keys.

125
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:26,160
I always have a carabiner on my clip because I tend to clip them to my belt or my belt

126
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,360
loop.

127
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:33,960
My work keys I have on a brass, very heavy-duty, weight-rated hook because it's cool.

128
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,560
And then my personal, I actually have a little tiny stainless steel carabiner that I used

129
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,720
to use for device tags on pressure meters in the oil industry.

130
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,880
So it's like 316 stainless steel, the same you'd have on a watch or something.

131
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,240
And it's a very high-quality clip.

132
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,040
But I always clip my keys to my belt.

133
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,040
And then, of course, I have all the keys.

134
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,280
Do you have any tools on your keychain, Mike?

135
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:54,280
No.

136
00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:55,280
I don't carry any tools.

137
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:01,000
Other than, Sarah, a couple years ago got me a vintage Paps blue ribbon beer bottle

138
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,120
opener, which I used on Thanksgiving Day.

139
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,800
And that's basically my key fob.

140
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,240
I used to not have a key fob, and then she got it for me as a gift.

141
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,320
So now, of course, I have a key fob.

142
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,320
Yes.

143
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,120
My keys, I have very slimmed down.

144
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,960
I used to carry a lot of keys, as previously mentioned.

145
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:24,160
I went out and did a lot of research on different key systems that would keep them low profile.

146
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,360
This is the KeySmart.

147
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,360
It's metal.

148
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,960
They have rubber ones as well.

149
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,140
And you can see here, I've got two keys.

150
00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:32,800
So one is to the side door, one's to the front door.

151
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,620
It's a different lock to the house.

152
00:06:34,620 --> 00:06:40,920
And I've got a little thing that's manufactured by one of my high school friends' dads.

153
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,760
And I've got my car keys on a separate thing that can detach from this.

154
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,560
So if I go biking, I don't bring my car key with the big unlock fob thing, because it's

155
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,560
a pain in the butt.

156
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,560
But I'll bring this.

157
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,400
And then on here, so this is the KeySmart.

158
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,720
And then I have bought an additional tool.

159
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,440
They have their own bottle opener.

160
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,040
KeySmart does, but it's so tiny, you can't get any leverage with it.

161
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,040
So I went to Chums, and it's the Tasker keychain.

162
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,040
Oh.

163
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,320
And it's got a Phillips screwdriver, a flathead screwdriver, a little millimeter and inch

164
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,320
ruler.

165
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,200
And what I use the most is the bottle opener.

166
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,340
But the little screwdrivers have come in handy because you can turn quite a few things with

167
00:07:17,340 --> 00:07:18,560
these little things.

168
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,060
And then that mounts right on to my KeySmart.

169
00:07:22,060 --> 00:07:28,080
So I've got two keys and the Tasker tool, and then the little clip that will attach to

170
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,140
my car keys.

171
00:07:29,140 --> 00:07:33,040
So if I don't need my car keys, like I didn't drive, so I left my car keys at home.

172
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,000
And I still bring this because the tools are nice to have on hand there.

173
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,160
So that's what I do for the keys.

174
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,680
And again, I'm a little more minimalistic.

175
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,080
Here, I used to be more minimalistic when I lived in an apartment.

176
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,400
I had the detach, and then on one side I had just my apartment key.

177
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:53,300
And the other side I had my car key and any truck-related keys.

178
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:58,460
And now that I live on a compound, I have Sarah's car keys on one set on one ring.

179
00:07:58,460 --> 00:08:03,440
And then I have my farm keys, and I have all the outbuilding keys, the house keys.

180
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,800
I have keys for my hitches because I have locks on all my hitches and things.

181
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,400
And I just put them all in one because I don't mess with it.

182
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,800
And then I don't carry these every day.

183
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,880
I actually carry my work keys, which has all the keys I need for work, plus one of my house

184
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,920
keys and a vehicle key.

185
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,440
That's on a separate ring as well.

186
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,300
So I can take them off and put them on.

187
00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:25,440
And I only carry keys that I need for work.

188
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,400
But we also have a few locks.

189
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,680
Let's put it that way.

190
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:29,680
So yes, wallet.

191
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:30,680
So keys, wallet.

192
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,680
Yep.

193
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,680
I don't know.

194
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:33,680
I keep whipping them out like you guys can see them listening.

195
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:39,240
Like I said, I used to do a big wallet, like a tri-fold wallet or bi-fold wallet in the

196
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,240
back pocket.

197
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,680
But for many, many, many, many, many years, probably starting in college or whatever,

198
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:46,920
I did the dash wallet.

199
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,600
That was a Kickstarter thing, and they're on version six or something.

200
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,600
But they're 30, $40.

201
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,440
They've got RFID blocking and whatnot.

202
00:08:54,440 --> 00:09:01,680
I recently went to a, this is a Hammer Anvil Los Angeles Slim Men's Wallet.

203
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:07,240
And I've got, I don't know, I've got probably went to, I've got nine cards in here.

204
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,200
It's got a cash pocket and it's got a couple of components I don't use.

205
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,960
It's RFID blocking as well.

206
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,280
This was like $11 on Amazon.

207
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,840
And I've got also in here another little tool.

208
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,600
And this is a metal tool that I got with a first aid kit thing.

209
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,560
So this is a survivor wear credit card tool.

210
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,880
It's got a can opener so I can open Campbell's soup, I guess.

211
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,720
A file, a wood saw.

212
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:36,000
It's got a protractor, bottle opener, five to eight millimeter wrenches, screwdriver.

213
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,160
I don't keep that on me when I travel through TSA.

214
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:45,960
But most everything else on my EDC can go through TSA with the exception of my pocket

215
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:46,960
knife.

216
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,160
And probably, I don't know if they would let this through.

217
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,160
Maybe not.

218
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,960
I never really thought that it was worthwhile because I've got the Tasker tool on my keys,

219
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,920
which I have had.

220
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,840
I almost had an instance at a venue, music venue down here.

221
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,680
Yeah, down here as if I'm still at home.

222
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:11,880
Down in Minneapolis where I brought my keys with the Tasker tool and the security said,

223
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,000
no, you got to bring this back to your car or throw it away.

224
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,880
I'm like, no, these are my keys.

225
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,880
This isn't a knife.

226
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,280
This is a bottle opener and a screwdriver.

227
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,200
And they said, oh, wow, I've never seen one of those.

228
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,040
They just thought it was a knife, some kind of cutting tool.

229
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,040
And there's not really a sharp point on here.

230
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,280
They're all rounded.

231
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,160
So they had no problem letting it through.

232
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,040
Once I explained to them what it was, TSA has never had a problem with this setup, the

233
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,040
KeySmart.

234
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,880
But that other little metal, because it's a metal credit card-esque tool.

235
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,840
Yeah, I think the RFID blocking is probably worthwhile to get.

236
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,840
Your wallet.

237
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,120
Well, I have a quick side note.

238
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,960
Because at TSA, public safety announcement, if you are going to fly stateside, you're

239
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,780
allowed to have multi-tools that do not have blades.

240
00:10:52,780 --> 00:10:56,040
But if you cross international border in a plane, they will not allow you to carry a

241
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,560
Leatherman without a knife.

242
00:10:57,560 --> 00:10:58,560
They take it.

243
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:03,800
So do not think that you're going to get your quote unquote TSA compliant multi-tool and

244
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:04,800
then bring it onto a plane.

245
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,080
They just won't let you do it.

246
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,860
Plus, if you put it on your carry or your checked baggage, they don't care.

247
00:11:09,860 --> 00:11:11,200
You can put a freaking multi-tool.

248
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,880
But then you got to look at, I have a knife rights.

249
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,400
It's called Knife Rights.

250
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,960
It's kind of like the NRA, but for knives.

251
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,000
And it's a phone app.

252
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,200
And it'll tell you all the state laws.

253
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,440
And some of the states have pretty crazy knife laws.

254
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,280
So you really need to pay attention because you don't want to be arrested and thrown in

255
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,280
jail.

256
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,280
Yeah, there is that.

257
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,460
I think too that, I know Leatherman makes those little micro tools that have the clip

258
00:11:32,460 --> 00:11:34,000
built into the handle.

259
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000
And one is like a set of scissors.

260
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,120
And it's got a file and stuff.

261
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,000
And that one's not TSA compliant because it's the scissors.

262
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,440
And it's got a little knife blade.

263
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,000
And then there's one that is TSA compliant.

264
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,000
That's pliers.

265
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000
And like a screwdriver.

266
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,000
It has no knife blade.

267
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,040
And I've got one of those with the scissors and the knife blade, but it's not TSA compliant.

268
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:56,280
But since Mike and I have talked about this off air, Mike has informed me of there are

269
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,720
box cutters, folding flip box cutters that are real tiny.

270
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,720
And I have one and it's real nice.

271
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,880
It's like $8 for this aluminum frame.

272
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,680
And you can ditch your razor blade, bring it through security, and then pick up a razor

273
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:12,600
blade pack at a gas station or pharmacy when you land.

274
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,320
So you can still have a knife to cut boxes open with.

275
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,320
And I'm going to talk about that later.

276
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,320
Yes.

277
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,320
For sure.

278
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,320
Okay.

279
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,320
So I have...

280
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,320
But you yourself talk about your wallet.

281
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,320
Yes.

282
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,320
I have three wallets that I carry.

283
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,560
Oh, Mike, the minimalist in me is sad.

284
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:27,560
All right.

285
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:29,120
I carry three wallets.

286
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:34,520
For concerts and venues and things like that, I have a Pelican case made by the Pelican

287
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,440
Company and it's just a little plastic box and it is Megsafe and it sticks to the back

288
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,440
of my phone case.

289
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:41,440
Okay.

290
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,520
So the Pelican case is going to be on the list later, but it holds two, three cards

291
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,900
and a little bit of cash.

292
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:50,320
And if I need extra cash, I'll put it in just like a paperclip.

293
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,400
And then if I'm going about town in Minneapolis, I need more stuff.

294
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,000
I have a Rogue front pocket wallet.

295
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000
It's moose leather.

296
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Very nice.

297
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,140
It's got my little initials embossed on it because, you know, fancy wallets and men.

298
00:13:04,140 --> 00:13:11,160
And then for my day to day around the North country region, I carry a custom made check

299
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,160
book wallet.

300
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:18,520
It was manufactured or sewn for me by a leather worker who is from Minnetonka for the life

301
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,520
of me.

302
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,720
I can't remember his name, but you can probably find him online and he hands those wallets

303
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,720
for people.

304
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:30,080
And I have a checkbook wallet that has a little cash component or a little cash holder and

305
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:37,040
it holds six cards and a checkbook because I live in an area where businesses take checks

306
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,440
and charge you to use credit cards.

307
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,400
So they actually want your checks, especially if it's a local check.

308
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,120
And that's very practical.

309
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,000
Does that have any RFID blocking in it?

310
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000
No, it does not have any.

311
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,120
None of my wallets have any RFID blocking.

312
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,480
I do not live in a city area.

313
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,600
I am not overly concerned.

314
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,600
You know what?

315
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,200
And I live in a city area and even if I didn't live in a city area, I still want the RFID

316
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,200
blocking.

317
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:03,040
Not that I'm overly concerned, but the RFID wallets are not any more expensive than the

318
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,820
non RFID wallets.

319
00:14:04,820 --> 00:14:08,280
So it's just kind of one of those extra safety features in my mind.

320
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,920
And to be fair, I only have one card in my wallet that actually is the tap to pay.

321
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,920
The rest of mine are the chip.

322
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:20,200
So I think only the tap to pay ones are susceptible to RFID hacking.

323
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,240
So it's been years and I've had an RFID wallet and not had anything that could even be skimmed

324
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,320
by an RFID reader.

325
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,320
But I don't know.

326
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,320
It's better safe than sorry.

327
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,320
Yeah.

328
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,820
And this isn't meant as a slight, but I'm a little more like tech savvy than most people

329
00:14:34,820 --> 00:14:36,440
I encounter in life.

330
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,440
Including me.

331
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,440
Like an ounce of prevention.

332
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,600
Is worth a pound of cure every time.

333
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,200
So if you don't have any tap cards and you're looking for a new wallet, just get one that

334
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,200
has the RFID.

335
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,600
Because you never know when your banking institution is going to send you your new card and it's

336
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:51,600
going to be a tap.

337
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:52,600
Absolutely.

338
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,040
Like just it's an easy thing to do.

339
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,800
Like installing an ad blocker on your browser.

340
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,520
We didn't say that YouTube, please let us still watch videos.

341
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,880
I would definitely have an RFID blocker, but Sarah calls me bougie.

342
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,680
I like the hand sewn wallets.

343
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,400
I like nice things like that.

344
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,400
This was only 30 bucks.

345
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,400
Yeah.

346
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,680
So it's not like it cost me a fortune or anything like that, but it serves everything that I

347
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:16,680
needed to do.

348
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,760
And it's very hard to find a wallet like this on the market.

349
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,760
You can't.

350
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,760
You have to buy it.

351
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,880
But I'm guessing if it was hand sewn by a fellow in Minnetonka, he would be more than

352
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:29,000
happy to hand sew in the RFID blocking fabric or material or whatever it is.

353
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Most likely.

354
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,320
Next time I'm going to try to get one.

355
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,320
Yes.

356
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:34,320
It's not a huge deal.

357
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,320
Right.

358
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:41,320
I don't even know what these skimmers look like, but I guess my dad worked in the prison

359
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:47,360
as a case manager and he was firmly convinced that people were sticking needles on the inside

360
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,120
of gas station pump handles to infect people with HIV and AIDS.

361
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,120
Yeah.

362
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,120
Okay.

363
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,800
Which is, you know, I don't know that that's ever happened.

364
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,520
It's a valid concern, but pending any evidence, I'm not sure that it ever happened.

365
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:08,400
And then I know that these, some criminals will do these really like micro thin RFID

366
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,160
skimmers or credit card skimmers on top of the gas station pump skimmers.

367
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:18,400
And they're almost indistinguishable, but there's always that security tape on the gas

368
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,400
pumps now.

369
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,540
So I'm not saying like, let's go out and be super paranoid about everything in life.

370
00:16:23,540 --> 00:16:28,560
I'm just saying that if RFID blocking is no more expensive than a regular wallet, that's

371
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:29,620
why I have it.

372
00:16:29,620 --> 00:16:31,360
Because it's just, it's there.

373
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,800
I don't have to worry about it.

374
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,400
I would support that.

375
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,160
So I'm going to start next because I'm a big fan of this phone case.

376
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,160
All right.

377
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,160
I have an iPhone.

378
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,160
And we should do phones because the phones always come with us.

379
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,480
Well, we always have a phone, but I have an iPhone, iPhone 14 Pro.

380
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,760
I'm going to stick with it pretty much until it dies.

381
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,560
I have no need to upgrade.

382
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,360
And I like the iPhone for security reasons.

383
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,240
I used to have an Android, but they stopped having the features I wanted, blah, blah,

384
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,240
blah.

385
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,240
Doesn't matter.

386
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,240
It's all personal choice.

387
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,240
My work phone is also an iPhone.

388
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,000
Not that that affected my cell phone choice, but I usually carry two cell phones on me

389
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,000
at all times.

390
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,880
It's easier if it's the same system.

391
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:14,360
I actually liked it when I had a personal phone that was not an iPhone because then

392
00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:19,880
I could kind of keep up to date and keep my tech skills more savvy with what phones can

393
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,880
do.

394
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,200
But I do like the security features on the iPhone, which is why my work phone is an iPhone.

395
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,200
But the case is an Otter Box Defender XT.

396
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:34,520
So it's got all the crazy Otter Box Defender stuff, but it's the XT model.

397
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,060
So it's thinner on the back.

398
00:17:36,060 --> 00:17:40,800
So it's pretty similar to the original size, but it's got the MagSafe part.

399
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:46,180
And the MagSafe components are boss because I have a MagSafe little pack that'll charge

400
00:17:46,180 --> 00:17:47,640
it one cycle.

401
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,760
Don't carry it with me very often, but for a travel, it'll give you one extra charge.

402
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,800
But then my wallet can fit on the back.

403
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,320
And then I can show my phone and everything in my pocket.

404
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,160
And that's all I need to carry then.

405
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,160
And it's very nice.

406
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:05,160
And I do recommend if you have an iPhone, get that Otter Box Defender XT case.

407
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,160
It's awesome.

408
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,200
And I have a clear one because I have a gold iPhone because I'm bougie.

409
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,840
And he's swanky like that.

410
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,140
I have been iPhone since my Blackberry.

411
00:18:16,140 --> 00:18:19,680
So probably since 2009, I've been iPhone.

412
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:26,000
And recently I switched to Android and I have the Samsung S23 Plus, not the Ultra, which

413
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,400
is like the huger screen and 15 more camera lenses.

414
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,760
But this one has three camera lenses.

415
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:32,760
So it's real nice.

416
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,920
It's got the wide angle, the standard and the zoom.

417
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,680
And I've got, it's a Crave case.

418
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:38,680
I just bought it from Amazon.

419
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,160
It's super cheap, but it's got the grippy back on my phone here and the grippy sides.

420
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,160
And then it's got what you want on all your phone products is the little lip on the top

421
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,920
screen there so that if it lands, it keeps the screen off of the surface.

422
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:57,560
If you're in on a gravel road, your phone is fucked anyway, but by and large falls around

423
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:58,560
the house, you're fine.

424
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,760
This might be a different episode.

425
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,960
Security features on the iPhone versus the Android.

426
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:10,320
It's interesting because I've found that the Android here is giving me more security prompts

427
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,280
than the iPhone ever has.

428
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,960
It will run like scans and be like, yep, we download this thing.

429
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:15,960
It's safe.

430
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:16,960
Like you're good.

431
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,240
Just a lot more user interaction, I guess, on the security things.

432
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,760
Whereas maybe the iPhone runs more in the background so you don't have to worry about

433
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:24,760
it, think about it.

434
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,680
When I think security, so the one of the big pluses that I found on this latest generation

435
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:35,280
iPhone is that within your settings, you can limit the apps access to your data.

436
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,560
And that's what I mean by security.

437
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,560
You can limit what they can use.

438
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,760
And I really like that feature.

439
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,720
I used to have a Samsung Note.

440
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,920
I freaking loved the Samsung Note.

441
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,920
And I would have stayed with it, but they took away the auxiliary port and they took

442
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,480
away the micro SD slot.

443
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,720
And those were two big things.

444
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,040
And the fingerprint scanner, which I was a big fan of too.

445
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,040
That's weird they took that away.

446
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,200
Yeah, they took that away too.

447
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,560
And so I switched back to iPhone.

448
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,720
Also the size of the phone.

449
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,120
I have a 14 regular.

450
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:09,160
It's smaller than the big phones, but it has all the powerful cameras and processing and

451
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,320
everything like that, which is important if you want your phone to last a lot of time.

452
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,320
And I have no intention of getting rid of this phone.

453
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,820
I'll probably put a new battery in it.

454
00:20:16,820 --> 00:20:20,960
And then my screen protector, I have a Spigen tempered glass screen protector.

455
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:21,960
Put one on Sarah's phone.

456
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,640
She's got a Samsung Galaxy or whatever.

457
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,520
And they work really well.

458
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:27,880
This is the original one I've had.

459
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:28,880
It's a year old.

460
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:29,880
It's not even scratched.

461
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,880
And I use it.

462
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,240
I mean, I'm out and about in the world.

463
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,240
Let's put it that way.

464
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,760
And the screen protector worked really well.

465
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:36,760
This might shock you, Mike.

466
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,800
I don't have a screen protector on my phone at all.

467
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,120
I didn't on my Galaxy because of the curved screen.

468
00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:44,120
This is a flat screen.

469
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:45,120
You must have the S10.

470
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:46,120
I had an S9.

471
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:47,120
I had a Note 9.

472
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:48,120
Note 9.

473
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:49,120
I had a Note 9.

474
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:50,120
I know the S10 also has the curved screen.

475
00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:53,280
Well, so I tried the screen and the fucking screen protector popped off because of the

476
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,560
curved and it was only sticky on the outside edge.

477
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:56,880
And it kept on popping off.

478
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,240
And that's one of the things I got away from the Note 4 as well, is that when I bought

479
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,360
this, the current Note had that curved screen still.

480
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:04,680
Next Gen was going to have the flat.

481
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,660
And I was like, I can't do anymore rounded screens.

482
00:21:07,660 --> 00:21:10,920
But that Note with the pen, that pen was frigging great.

483
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:11,920
Yeah.

484
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,920
That was a wonderful feature.

485
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:13,920
I really liked it.

486
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:14,920
Yeah.

487
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,400
I don't rock a screen protector.

488
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:21,040
I used to all the time on my iPhones and stuff until like my last iPhone because I've never

489
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,520
had it be an issue.

490
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,880
The phone is usually always in my pocket, not with any keys or anything else that's

491
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:28,880
hard or sharp.

492
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,600
Well, and that's why I got rid of my Note on screen protectors because I took my phone

493
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,000
at my work desk sitting in my workstation.

494
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,640
I took it and I kind of flipped it.

495
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,440
I didn't put it directly down, which is what I should have done, but I just kind of threw

496
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,080
it like six inches.

497
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,240
And I broke the frigging screen on the phone because it hits up then on the edge of the

498
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,240
rounded screen.

499
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,240
Yeah.

500
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,240
Shattered the screen.

501
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,240
Yeah.

502
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,360
And then I had to make the decision whether to replace the screen or to get a new phone.

503
00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:58,320
And then they had a deal where I could get like a thousand dollars traded on the phone,

504
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,320
blah, blah, blah.

505
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:00,320
Yeah.

506
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,440
All that fancy stuff that everybody has to deal with.

507
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,600
But yeah, I was looking at different things because I love the wireless charging.

508
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,000
And my last iPhone had that.

509
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,000
It's great.

510
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,260
And of course, the Android I have has that.

511
00:22:11,260 --> 00:22:14,280
But MagSafe is proprietary to Apple.

512
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,440
And I have a MagSafe back charging little thing made by Anker.

513
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,440
Yeah.

514
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,440
And it sticks right to it.

515
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:20,640
And you can do it in the car, the car mount.

516
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,840
You can do the wireless MagSafe charging mount in your car.

517
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:24,840
Sarah has one in her car.

518
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,840
I do it in my truck.

519
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,840
Yeah.

520
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:27,840
Yeah.

521
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,320
So, but I've been looking at some car mounts for charging, wireless charging, and holding

522
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,280
the phones for like navigation stuff.

523
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:33,280
Yeah.

524
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,280
There's tons of them.

525
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,280
There's tons of them.

526
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,280
I'll show you the one.

527
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,280
Ours is made by iOdi.

528
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,280
Okay.

529
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,280
And it works pretty slick.

530
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,280
Yeah.

531
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,560
I have the holders in my work truck and my personal truck.

532
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,560
Okay.

533
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,560
And Sarah got the one that is self-charging.

534
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:45,560
Yeah.

535
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:46,560
Works slick.

536
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:47,560
Okay.

537
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,440
Way better than the Kia because Kia has the charging mount.

538
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,440
That thing sucks.

539
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,440
Yeah.

540
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:58,440
I actually had to buy a cord at a gas station for $30 because her charging port thing overheated

541
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,040
my phone and it wouldn't freaking charge.

542
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,040
Yeah.

543
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,040
Like they're garbage.

544
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,040
But that iOdi one, it works pretty good.

545
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,040
Yeah.

546
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,040
Yeah.

547
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,040
So that's good.

548
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,040
I think we covered phones.

549
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,040
I mean...

550
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,040
Oh yeah.

551
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,040
We covered phones.

552
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,040
It's personal preference.

553
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,040
It's personal preference.

554
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,600
And then if you have a work phone, it's probably going to be an Apple because they do have

555
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,240
additional security features on them for corporations and things like that.

556
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,240
Yeah.

557
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,240
And it's easy to manage.

558
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,240
Easy to manage.

559
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,240
And user-friendly.

560
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,240
Yeah.

561
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,000
My Sarah's talking to me about wanting a new phone as well.

562
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,840
And she loves my cameras on here.

563
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,120
But we've...

564
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:36,320
Her and I went from the iPhone SE 2020, which is going to be four years old coming up.

565
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:37,440
She still has that one.

566
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,320
And I went from that to this.

567
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,760
And that one only has the one camera on the back.

568
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,520
And if you have multiple lenses on the back, it's always going to look better.

569
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,520
Yep.

570
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,520
It's just always going to look better.

571
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,520
I don't know how else to tell you that.

572
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,000
It's always going to look better.

573
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,880
But I was showing her all the cool things I can do on my phone.

574
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,520
I mean, it took me, I don't know, a couple of weeks, maybe a month to figure out how

575
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,320
to get this thing customized where I could use it and not be frustrated and not be hating

576
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,520
everything on it.

577
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:02,520
Because it's a change.

578
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,360
It's a big change and it depends.

579
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:05,800
I bought my parents' iPhones.

580
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:06,800
Yep.

581
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:07,800
And my dad...

582
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,220
My dad had an iPhone 5 and then he upgraded to an SE through insurance.

583
00:24:12,220 --> 00:24:14,680
My mom, I bought her an SE, but it's first gen.

584
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:15,800
And now they're getting aged out.

585
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,440
They can't get updates anymore.

586
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,720
And they want another iPhone SE.

587
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:20,720
Yeah.

588
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,120
But they don't want to spend the 400 bucks on a phone which is like...

589
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:24,120
Just do it.

590
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:25,120
They want to find a deal.

591
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:27,480
And I'm like, okay, we'll wait for a deal.

592
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,480
You know what they do for deals nowadays is they do trade-ins.

593
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:31,480
Yeah.

594
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:32,680
You get a deal on the trade-in.

595
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,400
You don't get a deal necessarily on the new phone, but they'll run specials where if you

596
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:41,800
trade in a working device, you'll get up to $300, $400 towards a new device.

597
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,800
Right.

598
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,040
And if I knew a phone guy still, I would do that.

599
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,040
But...

600
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,040
You do.

601
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,040
Do I still?

602
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,040
Yes.

603
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,040
Well, we'll talk about it later.

604
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,040
We'll talk about it later.

605
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:52,040
I can't be giving all my personal contacts out.

606
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,040
Absolutely.

607
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,040
That's our premium tier subscription.

608
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,040
That's our premium tier.

609
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,040
Yeah.

610
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,040
So anyway, next item.

611
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,040
Yes, yes.

612
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,040
So I don't know if you carry one of these.

613
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,720
Well, let's go knives.

614
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:02,720
I always...

615
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:03,720
We can go flashlight.

616
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,120
I want to do knife first.

617
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:06,120
Okay.

618
00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:07,120
I'm the Eagle Scout.

619
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:09,120
I used to always have knives on me, multiple knives.

620
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:13,640
I've been gifted knives for years and years and years of birthdays and Christmases and

621
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,640
varying degrees of quality, let's say.

622
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,400
I was an Eagle Scout and somebody who likes to cut things like boxes, right?

623
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,400
Right.

624
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,160
I saw a meme once where it was like, people who have knives and it's like somebody pulling

625
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,240
out like a huge katana and then it's like just opening a box.

626
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,240
Yeah, exactly.

627
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,240
And then you can open it with fingers.

628
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,360
But I have this knife and this is my favorite knife thus far.

629
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:35,360
Okay.

630
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:37,400
So this is a little fatter on the handle here.

631
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:43,320
I had another one that I was carrying that was slimmer and a little longer handle wise,

632
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:49,420
but this is a composite handle and it is the deep carry.

633
00:25:49,420 --> 00:25:51,520
So the pocket clip...

634
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,520
Deep carry is almost necessary.

635
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,360
...is flush with the top of the body of the handle here.

636
00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:00,700
And this is a Dahjo, D-A-J-O.

637
00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:02,520
And this is, I believe it's a backpack.

638
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,200
It is the Dahjo Basecamp pocket knife.

639
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,960
And I believe this vendor was at the State Fair selling knives.

640
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:15,560
And it is a thumb stud open or a flip open.

641
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,760
And in Minnesota, you can't have one that opens by one hand, but if you give this one

642
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,280
enough of the right thing, you can open it with one hand with the flick.

643
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,680
It's a legally questionable thing whether the assisted open and the automatic open.

644
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,480
If you have a conceal and carry license, it's not a problem.

645
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:30,480
Yes.

646
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,880
There's a lot of assist feature built into this, but it's got the...

647
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,120
You can see the washers in here to aid with the swing and the swivel.

648
00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:41,560
The blade is very nice and it's got a really nice thumb area.

649
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,200
If you do need to cut, it's got a frame lock.

650
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,520
And here's what I use more than the actual knife blade is in the handle, it's got a pair

651
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:48,520
of tweezers.

652
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:49,520
Oh, sure.

653
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,520
And so I have pulled out...

654
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,720
And I've only had this for less than a year, but I've pulled out, I don't know, a handful

655
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,680
of slivers thus far just with this.

656
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:57,680
Exactly.

657
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:58,680
Just with this.

658
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,280
And that's the other thing I cannot travel on airlines with.

659
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,280
Yes.

660
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,640
But I always have a pocket knife on me.

661
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,720
I used to have a hands or harns pocket knife.

662
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,360
That was another deep carry.

663
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:11,360
Flipper.

664
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:12,360
I like the flippers now.

665
00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:13,360
You like flippers?

666
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:14,920
I don't like the thumb studs.

667
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,520
You don't get the right kind of leverage.

668
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:17,520
Yes.

669
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:22,440
I work outside of the home and I, like many men, have many pocket knives.

670
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:28,440
I have two boxes of watches and I have a box entirely devoted, wooden box, entirely devoted

671
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,080
to all of my pocket knives.

672
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,120
I carry a lot of different pocket knives over the years I have.

673
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:35,640
When I'm at work, I carry a Leatherman.

674
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,800
And I have a Leatherman P4.

675
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,840
I also have a Super Tool 300.

676
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,040
And I was gifted as part of a wedding, a bond.

677
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,000
And now that I carry a multi-tool all the time at work, a lot of times I'll carry the

678
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,360
bond for bowling.

679
00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:49,360
I'll carry my bond.

680
00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:50,360
It's a little thinner.

681
00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:51,360
I still have the pliers.

682
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:53,000
So you can do player work.

683
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,320
I can pretty much do...

684
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,220
I can redo a receptacle with a Leatherman.

685
00:27:57,220 --> 00:27:58,220
But I carry a Leatherman.

686
00:27:58,220 --> 00:28:02,000
The Leatherman Arc just came out and I'm very tempted to buy it.

687
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,000
But of course, 230 bucks.

688
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,160
When I already have a Leatherman, it's perfectly good.

689
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,920
I always pack with my Leatherman.

690
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:10,920
So I carry a belt.

691
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,620
We're going to talk about my belts later.

692
00:28:12,620 --> 00:28:17,760
But I carry a Leatherman and then I'll carry a utility folding knife for heavy duty cutting.

693
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,560
And I like a Lennox Gold utility knife.

694
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,000
I don't know if they make them anymore.

695
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,640
I've heard that they're discontinued, but they have a little rubber patch on them.

696
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,320
So if your hand's wet, you can still get a good grip on it.

697
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,760
A lot of guys like the Milwaukee utility folding knives.

698
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,320
When I'm not at work and I'm walking around, I usually carry a Benchmade.

699
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,360
I have two different Griptiliens.

700
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:39,060
Well, I have three Griptiliens.

701
00:28:39,060 --> 00:28:45,800
But I have some limited edition Griptiliens with S30V blades and G10 scales with little

702
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,800
subs and they have an access lock.

703
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:54,000
And the thing about the access lock is that you can depress the access lock like this.

704
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,560
I'm going to show Nate and it'll flip.

705
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,720
You're free moving when you depress the access lock.

706
00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,720
Yep.

707
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:00,720
And they'll go down.

708
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:01,720
I do like access locks.

709
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:02,720
Yeah.

710
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:03,720
That's what my...

711
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:04,720
I just pulled it up.

712
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,720
Is my folding utility knife is a WorkPro.

713
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:07,720
Oh yeah.

714
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,280
And that has an access lock.

715
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,360
So you can totally do that and it just takes a standard, you know...

716
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,360
Utility knife blade.

717
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:15,360
Utility knife blade.

718
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:16,360
Yep.

719
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,000
And then I was going to pump on the utility knife, which you talked about earlier.

720
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,720
If I'm going to go on a plane or if I'm going to go to a concert, I'll carry...

721
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:29,360
It's a Giltek little pocket utility knife and the blade hides inside of the frame and you

722
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,360
can easily remove it, throw the blade away.

723
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,560
And like Nate said, for like two bucks, you can stop at a gas station and get another

724
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:35,560
utility knife blade.

725
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,040
Like a hundred of them in a pack.

726
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,040
Yeah.

727
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,040
You can get just a little...

728
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,720
Almost every gas station in the country has utility knife blades.

729
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,200
WorkPro 1 is probably a little smaller than this actually.

730
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,200
Oh yeah.

731
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,320
Smaller than the Dahjo that I carry.

732
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,880
When I was younger, I never would have carried a Leatherman, but my boss at my current job,

733
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,020
he carries Leatherman.

734
00:29:56,020 --> 00:29:57,680
So I started carrying one.

735
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,680
As a suggestion, he's like, yeah, you know, let's try it out.

736
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:00,680
See if you like it.

737
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,360
And oh my God, it's fucking great.

738
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,040
Get all the little screwdrivers and stupid little tools that...

739
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,040
Yeah.

740
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,440
I've got a Leatherman that I like, but I don't usually bring it unless I'm going camping

741
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,440
or something.

742
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:11,440
You know, because it's nice to have.

743
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:16,180
I don't know if this is their logo or motto or anything, but like kind of like a toolbox

744
00:30:16,180 --> 00:30:18,120
in like a player form factor.

745
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,120
They're garbage.

746
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,920
If you're going to compare it to a regular screwdriver, it sucks.

747
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:22,920
Oh no.

748
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:23,920
But if all you need to do is tighten it down...

749
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:24,920
Like a multi whatever.

750
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:25,920
Yeah.

751
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,360
You've got almost every tool you could think of.

752
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,200
Some of them, mine I think even has a little like wood saw on it.

753
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,080
So if you need to...

754
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,080
Oh.

755
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,000
Like you're not really going to be cutting firewood with this thing.

756
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,440
My P4, I use the wood saw all the time to cut survey stakes in half.

757
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:40,440
Okay.

758
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,440
I do it all the time.

759
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,380
And it's really, it's just a great tool.

760
00:30:43,380 --> 00:30:48,320
If you work at a service job where you need to have access to a screwdriver just to turn

761
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,680
a screw real quick, you don't have to go back to the truck and grab a screwdriver.

762
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,480
And even though I wear utility pants every day, I don't typically have a screwdriver

763
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,480
in my pocket.

764
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,480
Yeah.

765
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,480
So.

766
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:00,480
Yeah.

767
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,600
And I think for my everyday carry, you know, between my knife with the tweezers and my

768
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:09,640
keys with the screwdriver bottle opener combo, that covers most of my kind of day to day

769
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:10,640
needs.

770
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:11,640
Right.

771
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,840
And if I need something else, then that's why I have like tools at home where I've got

772
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,180
a toolbox in my car in the trunk.

773
00:31:17,180 --> 00:31:21,680
So I kind of try and keep the things in the places where I might need them, where I need

774
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:22,680
them.

775
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,360
During my work day, I carry a Leatherman on my belt.

776
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,360
Yes.

777
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,920
If I'm going out and about and I need a Leatherman, I pocket carry it with a clip and that's where

778
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:29,920
the bond comes in.

779
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,320
Cause it's a lot smaller package.

780
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:32,320
Yep.

781
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,320
So.

782
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,320
Yep.

783
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,100
The other thing I carry all the time every day and I use way more than the tool on my

784
00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:38,480
key chain or the knife.

785
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,820
And I picked this up.

786
00:31:39,820 --> 00:31:43,680
This is a Fenix E12 flashlight and it's very tiny.

787
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,120
It takes one AA battery to run.

788
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,640
It's got a tail cap switch and it's got three brightness levels.

789
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:54,800
So you turn it on once it's dim, you go medium and you go bright and it is really bright.

790
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:55,800
Even daytime.

791
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:56,800
Yep.

792
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:57,800
You can see how bright it is.

793
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,840
I use this thing more than I've used my pocket knife or tool on my keys.

794
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,960
This is my most used tool.

795
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,760
Everything that I, outside of my phone probably.

796
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:06,760
Really?

797
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:07,760
That I use.

798
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:08,880
I use my keys more than anything else.

799
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:14,160
And if you know, and usually if I'm needing a flashlight, I don't like doing the flashlight

800
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,160
thing on my phone.

801
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,520
I always reach for this because this is bright.

802
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,400
I can stick it like in my mouth to hold it.

803
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,120
If I need to, you know, looking, they're doing two hand things.

804
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,200
It's a nice like aluminum body.

805
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,200
Yep.

806
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,200
It's waterproof.

807
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,200
That's pretty nice.

808
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,200
It's got the gasket.

809
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,200
Much smaller than the one that I carry.

810
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,200
Yeah.

811
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,520
I, if this is, this is great.

812
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:32,680
It fits right in my front pocket.

813
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,080
I keep, and my left pocket is my phone.

814
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,120
My right front pocket is my wallet, my flashlight and my knife.

815
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,600
And they all fit right in there and just right next together.

816
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,040
And I usually carry these like in a coat pocket, but I'll carry this in the little, whatever

817
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,320
the little like coin pocket pouch thing is in the jeans.

818
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:49,320
The keys.

819
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,320
I also carry a flashlight every day.

820
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:51,320
All right.

821
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,320
Work.

822
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:53,320
Whip it out.

823
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:54,320
For work.

824
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,320
Whip it out.

825
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:56,320
I can go grab it.

826
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,320
Let's compare sizes.

827
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:58,320
I can go grab it.

828
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,320
I need lumens.

829
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:00,320
Let's compare lumens.

830
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,320
Let's compare lumens.

831
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,320
So I carry a Streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA.

832
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,320
That sounds like a flashlight you would carry.

833
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:06,920
1AA.

834
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,360
It fits in a buck 110 sheath.

835
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,640
I just ordered a new sheath for it because I've been using the original one that came

836
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:13,640
with.

837
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,640
Okay.

838
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,520
So it will fit in a buck 110 leather sheath.

839
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:17,520
I ordered one.

840
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,640
And yours is a 1AA as well?

841
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:20,640
1AA as well.

842
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:21,640
All right.

843
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:22,640
Mine has a clip on it.

844
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:23,640
Yeah.

845
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,120
And it'll pocket clip and it's got a reverse and it'll hat clip.

846
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,120
Okay.

847
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,120
And it's got three settings.

848
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,120
We're going to take a brief aside.

849
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,120
And I'm going to grab my light.

850
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,120
Because we've got to compare these things.

851
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,120
All right.

852
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,120
So Mike's got his flashlight.

853
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,120
Yes, I do.

854
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,120
And I've got mine.

855
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,120
Yes, I do.

856
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,120
And his is what?

857
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,120
What would you say that is, Mike?

858
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,120
At least an inch longer.

859
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,120
At least an inch longer.

860
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,120
And diameter.

861
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,120
Mine is like an inch.

862
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,880
And his is like three quarters of an inch.

863
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:45,880
Yep.

864
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,360
And he's got the clip, but they're both one battery.

865
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,120
One battery, one AA.

866
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,880
Mine has three settings as well.

867
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,840
High, flashing mode, and then low.

868
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:54,840
Okay.

869
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:55,840
But mine doesn't click.

870
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:56,840
So mine's low.

871
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,280
So do your low compared to my low.

872
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,280
All right.

873
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:00,280
So your low is a little brighter.

874
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,280
Yep.

875
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:02,280
My medium.

876
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,280
I don't have medium.

877
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,280
You don't have medium.

878
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,280
And then my bright.

879
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,280
So your bright looks maybe a little brighter.

880
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,280
It's a little warmer color cast.

881
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:08,280
Mine's a little cooler.

882
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,280
Yeah, it's similar.

883
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,280
Color cast.

884
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:11,280
Yeah.

885
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,800
So mine has a nice click to turn it on and off.

886
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,560
And then you half press it to change modes.

887
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,120
Mine clicks on and off on the high.

888
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,120
Okay.

889
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,680
But then you like half press to get everything in.

890
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:23,680
Yep.

891
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:24,680
And yours has the built in clip.

892
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,000
Mine came with a little lanyard that has, I've carried this so much of the lanyard disintegrated

893
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,000
basically.

894
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Mine has a lanyard hold as well.

895
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,000
I've never used it that way.

896
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,000
Yeah.

897
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,560
But the clip, you can clip it onto your hat.

898
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:35,560
Yep.

899
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:36,560
Which is why I really like it.

900
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:37,560
And onto your belt.

901
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,600
I've lost one because I was clipping it.

902
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,680
But the thing I really like about this is that it takes a single AA.

903
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:43,680
Yep.

904
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,160
And it fits into a standard buck 110 sheath.

905
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,000
And I carry it on my belt next to my Leatherman at work.

906
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,000
And it's pretty nice.

907
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,720
And then I just bought a new leather sheath.

908
00:34:53,720 --> 00:34:56,720
I can't remember the name of the fucking company.

909
00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:59,280
But I bought them on Amazon.

910
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,880
They're a one piece leather design with rivets.

911
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:02,880
And now I can't.

912
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:03,880
I mean, I could find it on my list.

913
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,920
I could find it on my list, but it's not important.

914
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:06,920
Yeah.

915
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:07,920
But it's out there.

916
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:08,920
Do your search.

917
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:09,920
It's out there.

918
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,120
Oh, American Benchcraft.

919
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,480
That's the name, name the company.

920
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,640
I haven't seen it yet, but the design looks right to me because it's one piece of leather

921
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:17,960
folded over with rivets.

922
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:18,960
Yep.

923
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,000
If I like it a lot, I'll probably get one for my Leatherman as well because I carry my

924
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,240
Leatherman in the original sheath and starting to get ratty or whatever.

925
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:27,240
Yeah.

926
00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:28,240
So, yep.

927
00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:30,360
So that's the end of my like everyday carry stuff.

928
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:31,920
Oh, like every, every day.

929
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:32,920
Yeah.

930
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,520
Like this is when I leave the house, these, my phone, the keys, the flashlight and the

931
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,800
knife are coming with me just anytime I leave the house.

932
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,360
That's what's coming with me all the time, every time, short run, long run.

933
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:45,360
You also wear glasses.

934
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:46,360
I wear glasses.

935
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,360
Yeah.

936
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:48,360
Don't forget that.

937
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:49,360
Okay.

938
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:50,360
So I wear glasses.

939
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:51,360
The glasses come with me.

940
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,600
I also have a continuous glucose monitor on my arm and that syncs to my phone so I can

941
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,480
check my blood sugar, my blood glucose.

942
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,320
So that always comes with me, I guess.

943
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:04,480
And then my, I have a little kit for my diabetes with my insulin pens and that comes with me

944
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:05,480
too, but.

945
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:06,480
That's all important?

946
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:07,480
That's all important.

947
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:13,200
So I carry, I have, I wear Ray-Bans and Oakleys and I have a few sunglasses, but my day to

948
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,720
day is an Oakley Detcord SI, which are safety rated sunglasses and they look exactly like

949
00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:19,320
a brick of the pair of Oakleys.

950
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:20,480
And I used to wear glasses.

951
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:26,120
I had LASIK and I find that having very good spectacles increases my level of happiness

952
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:27,320
on a day to day basis.

953
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,620
So I wear expensive sunglasses.

954
00:36:29,620 --> 00:36:33,120
If you're working in a trade and you have to wear safety glasses, I would recommend

955
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,440
the Oakley Detcord SIs.

956
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:40,160
You can get replacement lenses by a company called Revent and they're great.

957
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,360
And I recommend, I cannot recommend them enough for everybody.

958
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,920
And you can get them in prescription and I wear them pretty much every day.

959
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,320
I've got, I've lost two pairs, unfortunately.

960
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:53,560
I used to have a pretty kick ass pair, but yeah, they're, they're wonderful.

961
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,160
I wear a watch every day, pretty much at all times.

962
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,080
And my work watches are G-Shocks.

963
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,400
I have three different G-Shocks just cause I like to switch it up.

964
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,040
And then I have an assortment of automatics and other watches.

965
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,040
Do you wear a watch every day?

966
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,040
Not every day.

967
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,960
Cause I work from home, so I don't usually need a watch.

968
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,680
Now when I was in the office, I was wearing a watch every day.

969
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:14,680
Sure.

970
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,840
My everyday office watch was my Fossil.

971
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,280
My everyday kind of like everyday watch, if I'm putting on a watch to go out or whatever

972
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:27,880
is usually my Timex, just, you know, whatever the, it's got the nice full face plate.

973
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,880
It's a weekender, I think.

974
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:30,880
Yeah.

975
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,320
And then I have those like 20, 30 bucks at Target or something.

976
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:34,320
They're really nice.

977
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,640
You can change the straps.

978
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:36,640
Yep.

979
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,640
And so I usually wear that one.

980
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,480
That's my usually like go to like every day to semi-formal event.

981
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,400
If I'm going to something more formal, then I'll either wear my Fossil or I've got another

982
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,320
watch that looks really sharp, but it wasn't terribly expensive.

983
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,380
From Amazon, it's got a little, it's got a brown leather band.

984
00:37:51,380 --> 00:37:55,720
So it goes with my shoes and belt and, and I have two boxes worth of watches, but every

985
00:37:55,720 --> 00:38:01,560
man should own a work watch or a utility watch, which I recommend G-Shock.

986
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:08,000
I carry a DW 5,000 series watch usually, which has got the atomic timekeeping and all that

987
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,000
fancy stuff.

988
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,400
It's like the original G-Shock updated.

989
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:15,800
And then you should have a sport watch, like a dive watch or a field watch.

990
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,440
And then you should have a dress watch.

991
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,200
And I have two dress watches.

992
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:26,600
I have a soup 880, which is like a Cartier clone, and then I have a Timex Marlin.

993
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:27,600
Okay.

994
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:28,600
And I really like my Marlin a lot.

995
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:29,600
Yeah.

996
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,260
I've got two dress watches and then I've got the Timex, which I like to wear.

997
00:38:33,260 --> 00:38:37,640
And then I have a, it might be a Casio, but it's just a digital.

998
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,920
I used to wear it all the time for deer hunting and stuff because the digital doesn't click

999
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,720
or tick or do anything.

1000
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:47,240
So you know, rubber band and I would use it for scout camps too, because it's waterproof

1001
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:48,960
and shock resistant and all that.

1002
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:49,960
Yep.

1003
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,680
So yeah, just a beat it up watch.

1004
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:53,680
Yeah.

1005
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,320
My favorite sport watch of all time is the Seiko Alpinist.

1006
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:57,320
Okay.

1007
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,400
The Sarbo 17, which they don't make anymore.

1008
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,400
Yep.

1009
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:01,400
But I love it.

1010
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:06,120
It's what I wore at my wedding, but I put it on a fancy band so it looked nice because

1011
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,120
it's a little fancier.

1012
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:12,840
It's got gold on it and shit, but it's still impact resistant and it's rated for 200 meters.

1013
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,160
And it's really cool.

1014
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,160
I really like that.

1015
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:16,760
I mean, you know, wedding day, who knows what's going to happen.

1016
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:17,760
At my wedding, especially.

1017
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:18,760
You never know.

1018
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,240
So let's see here, we're going to go through my list because I had a little more extensive

1019
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:24,040
list than Nathan did.

1020
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,040
Belts.

1021
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,040
I at work.

1022
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,680
I guess I always wear a belt.

1023
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:28,680
Yeah.

1024
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:29,680
I have a specific belts.

1025
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:30,800
I have three specific belts.

1026
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,200
I have a couple more than that.

1027
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:39,620
So my day to day belt is a Bison Design last chance belt, which has double thickness in

1028
00:39:39,620 --> 00:39:41,160
the waist portion.

1029
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,160
So it's heavier duty.

1030
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:43,880
It's like a gun belt.

1031
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,560
And then they make a Bison Design belt.

1032
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:47,560
It's a standard belt.

1033
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,960
It's not like a fireman's belt or a double loops.

1034
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,480
Yeah, I should look because I think this is just like an old Navy belt, but it's full

1035
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,480
leather.

1036
00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:00,480
So, oh, it's a gap belt, but it's the full leather because you can get the leather clad.

1037
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,560
Yeah, but this is actual full leather and it's gap.

1038
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:04,560
Sure.

1039
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,400
Which is fine, but it's made in the USA and it's, I don't know what inch and a half.

1040
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,160
Yeah, I would say that.

1041
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,160
And it's been great.

1042
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,280
It's a dark brown, like a chestnut, I guess.

1043
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:14,280
And this is what I'm wearing.

1044
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:15,280
Usually I'm wearing jeans.

1045
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,520
In the summer, I wear kind of the, what is it?

1046
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:25,120
It's not webbed, but it's like the fabric and you've got the double D like cinch.

1047
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:31,500
Well, the Bison Designs belt that I wear every day for wearing my Leatherman and other shit

1048
00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:32,500
like that.

1049
00:40:32,500 --> 00:40:33,500
You could put a gun on it theoretically.

1050
00:40:33,500 --> 00:40:34,500
Yeah.

1051
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:39,920
Is it's a nylon belt that has the cinch and it's got Velcro, the Velcro back down, but

1052
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,920
it's like triple thickness around the waist and it's real stiff.

1053
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:43,920
Yeah.

1054
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:44,920
And it holds the weight.

1055
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,120
I carry a Super Tool 300, which is like a pound.

1056
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,120
Yeah.

1057
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,120
And it doesn't bother you.

1058
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,120
Yeah.

1059
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,320
And then my leather belts, I've really gone to a company called Rose Anvil.

1060
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:54,320
Okay.

1061
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,080
And when you order one, you have to give them your actual measurement of your waist.

1062
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,080
Okay.

1063
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,500
And they have a micro belt design.

1064
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:00,840
So they have four holes.

1065
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:01,840
Yeah.

1066
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:02,840
And then some micro adjust.

1067
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,320
So if you gain or lose weight or if you're putting in tuck it in your shirt versus not,

1068
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,720
you can micro adjust and get it really dialed in.

1069
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:09,720
Yeah.

1070
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:10,720
It's awesome.

1071
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:11,720
I got a tan one.

1072
00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:12,720
Yeah.

1073
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:13,720
Got a black one.

1074
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:16,440
And then you spend all waistbands and man's pants.

1075
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:17,440
Yeah.

1076
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:18,440
Yeah.

1077
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,080
And it takes like an Allen wrench and like screwdriver to micro adjust, but it's real

1078
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:22,080
quick.

1079
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,080
I always have hand tools around.

1080
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,040
I carry a checkbook wallet most of the time.

1081
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,040
Yep.

1082
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,240
And my pen is a Zebra F701.

1083
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:31,240
Which Nate has been using.

1084
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:32,240
A mighty fine pen.

1085
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:33,240
It's a metal pen.

1086
00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:34,240
Yeah.

1087
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:35,240
The one I have is made in Japan.

1088
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:36,240
The new ones might be made in China.

1089
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:37,240
Mine's older.

1090
00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:38,240
They last forever.

1091
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:39,240
Yeah.

1092
00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:41,280
And then you get little metal, they're actual metal refills.

1093
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:42,280
Yep.

1094
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:43,280
Very high quality.

1095
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:44,280
I don't carry fancy pens like that.

1096
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,120
I don't carry a pen, but if I'm using a pen at home, I really like the Uniball.

1097
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:49,120
I think it's the 207.

1098
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:50,120
Yeah.

1099
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,120
Yeah.

1100
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,120
The ones that are anti-checkbook.

1101
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,120
Yeah.

1102
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,120
Yeah.

1103
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:55,120
I like those too.

1104
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:56,120
Yeah.

1105
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:57,120
They're all plastic and whatnot.

1106
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,120
Yeah.

1107
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,120
They write really nice.

1108
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,120
Like that's the whole point of a pen is you want it to write nicely.

1109
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,120
I like the metal pen.

1110
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,320
First of all, because this is my wallet, but then nobody can steal it.

1111
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:06,320
Yeah.

1112
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,840
Nobody will steal it because it's clearly your pen.

1113
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:09,840
Yeah.

1114
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,040
I used to work for a gentleman named Fisher.

1115
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,040
Okay.

1116
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,120
I forgot to mention his first name, but he's the son of the guy who invented the space

1117
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,120
pen.

1118
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:18,120
Oh yeah.

1119
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,120
And I have a space pen that's shaped like a bullet through 75.

1120
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:25,200
I had one that was like this big and you would pull it apart and the cap that covered the

1121
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,880
ballpoint part of it would go on the back and make it longer.

1122
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:28,880
Yep.

1123
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,240
That's what this one's like, but it's a bullet.

1124
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:31,240
Okay.

1125
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:33,560
I want a Fisher space pen, but they're like 70 bucks.

1126
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,400
I should have bought one when they were cheaper.

1127
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,720
My space pen, I used it for a long time, but it was gloopy.

1128
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:42,120
It didn't write terribly well.

1129
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:43,120
Oh really?

1130
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:44,120
Yeah.

1131
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,920
Mine's fine, but I don't use it very often because it's a fucking bullet and I'm not

1132
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:47,920
carrying it around.

1133
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:48,920
It's monogrammed.

1134
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:49,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1135
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,720
I worked for him for a year doing lightning protection.

1136
00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:53,720
Okay.

1137
00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:54,720
And so I got one as a gift.

1138
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:55,720
Yeah.

1139
00:42:55,720 --> 00:42:59,120
And I have it and it's very nice, but I would like to get the big bad boy, but who is going

1140
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,120
to spend 70 dollars?

1141
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:04,360
I mean, I like pens and I was interested in pens for a while and you can go all out on

1142
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:10,480
pens, but for my take now is if it writes well and I like how it writes and it won't

1143
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,440
smudge immediately, you know what I mean?

1144
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,000
That's all I need in a pen, which is like the uniball that I use.

1145
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,760
So the F-701, you can get the metal pen with an additional refill for like 15 bucks online.

1146
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:22,760
Yeah, that's not bad.

1147
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:23,760
And it's metal.

1148
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:24,760
It'll never go bad.

1149
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:25,760
Oh yeah.

1150
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,760
It's a great pen.

1151
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,720
Well, and even honestly, the plastic housings, are they going to go bad?

1152
00:43:29,720 --> 00:43:30,720
Probably not.

1153
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:33,080
The issue is that if you have a metal pen, nobody's going to steal it.

1154
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:37,000
And I do a lot of recording as part of my hobbies, if you know what I mean.

1155
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,000
I know what you mean.

1156
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,200
I know nobody's going to take it because they're like, oh, this is Mike's metal pen.

1157
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,400
I'll return it because they don't want to steal it.

1158
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:45,400
Yeah, right.

1159
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:46,400
Exactly.

1160
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:47,400
They don't want to steal it.

1161
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:48,400
Yeah.

1162
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:49,400
I also like the Sharpie pen.

1163
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:50,400
Oh yeah.

1164
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:51,400
I don't like the Sharpie gel pen.

1165
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:52,400
The Sharpie pen.

1166
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:53,400
That one is a nice pen.

1167
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,200
I carry a Sharpie permanent marker.

1168
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,200
Yeah.

1169
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:58,200
Usually Milwaukee makes a permanent marker.

1170
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,960
The Sharpie pen is like the super fine is like the 0.7 millimeter.

1171
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,600
I don't like those as much as the Pentel makes one.

1172
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,160
I like the Pentel better because it works better on wet metal.

1173
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:08,160
Oh, okay.

1174
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,160
Yeah.

1175
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,000
I'll have to check out the Pentel one.

1176
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,000
That's for work specifically.

1177
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Yeah.

1178
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Yeah.

1179
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,000
I figure as long as they're not kind of pens.

1180
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Right.

1181
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,720
Milwaukee makes a Sharpie or a permanent marker.

1182
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:26,600
I don't like it as much as the traditional Sharpie branded because the caps don't stay

1183
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,200
on the back of them very well.

1184
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:29,200
Yeah, that's fucked up.

1185
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:35,840
And I got a ton of them for real cheap because I have a friend who used to work, his dad

1186
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,200
was a distributor and I got a big box.

1187
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:43,520
His dad bought like a thousand of them and I got them for like 25 cents a piece, real

1188
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:44,520
cheap.

1189
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:45,520
Yeah.

1190
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:46,520
And they were great.

1191
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:47,520
Yeah.

1192
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,760
But they don't stay on the back as well as a regular, just standard ass regular Sharpie

1193
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:51,760
branded Sharpie.

1194
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:52,760
Yeah.

1195
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,560
Anyway, I'm not trying to rush, but we're getting closer to our cigars here, folks.

1196
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:56,560
Yes.

1197
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,560
I am particular about my feet and I wear a particular kind of sock.

1198
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,320
And I am particular about Mike's feet as well.

1199
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,120
So every day, every day I have three kinds of socks.

1200
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,120
I have...

1201
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,200
That's like two times as many socks as I wear.

1202
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:10,200
Yeah, exactly.

1203
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:11,200
I have ultra thin...

1204
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,600
You have a morning, midday and afternoon sock?

1205
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:14,600
No, I don't.

1206
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,640
I have two different thicknesses and different heights.

1207
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:17,640
So...

1208
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:18,640
I'm just giving Mike some...

1209
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,640
I'm just trying to rush it.

1210
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:22,640
I'm being...

1211
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:23,640
Being a dick.

1212
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:24,640
Sarcastic.

1213
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:25,640
Don't be a dick, be a dude.

1214
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:26,640
Bro.

1215
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:27,640
Bro.

1216
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:32,080
So I wear a smart wool, ultra thin dress style socks that are wool, obviously.

1217
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:33,080
They're smart wools.

1218
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:34,080
Made in USA.

1219
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,080
I like the smart wool.

1220
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,320
I like smart wools.

1221
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:42,040
I also wear medium weight, darn tough hikers of different sizes based on what I'm wearing.

1222
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:49,240
And then Kirkland came out with a higher mid-weight wool sock, 15 bucks for four.

1223
00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:50,240
And it's such a good deal.

1224
00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:52,040
Yeah, it's like less than five bucks a pair.

1225
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,040
Yeah.

1226
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,360
If you can get access to them, they're really, really good, high quality.

1227
00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:02,320
In the winter time, I wear a Stormy Kromer rancher hat, which is like a thick wool hat

1228
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,240
with long flaps that'll actually cover your whole head.

1229
00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:06,240
As I work outside in the winter.

1230
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:11,360
Well, in the winter, I wear a Love Your Melon knit beanie.

1231
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,160
And those have been consistently warm for me.

1232
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:15,160
Sarah has one.

1233
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,160
As a bald man.

1234
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,160
Yup.

1235
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,160
Sarah has one.

1236
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,160
She really likes it.

1237
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:20,160
We got it at the wine fair that they hold down here.

1238
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:21,160
Okay.

1239
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,240
I think I got mine at the Holodazzle because they have a booth and it's got the commemorative

1240
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:27,160
like Holodazzle shiny fucking patch or whatever.

1241
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:28,160
Right.

1242
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,160
Like whatever.

1243
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,160
I have to wear an orange hat.

1244
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,840
It's got to be safety rated or whatever.

1245
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,960
And Stormy Kromer makes an orange rancher hat.

1246
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:34,960
Okay.

1247
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:35,960
It's thick and warm.

1248
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:36,960
Yup.

1249
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,040
Since I got it, I haven't had to wear a fur hat, which I used to have to wear a fur hat

1250
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:44,120
some days because it's Minnesota and it's fucking cold sometimes, dude.

1251
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:45,120
Yeah.

1252
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:49,040
I just have one of the bomber hats that had the ear flaps that come down and buckle under

1253
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:50,040
your chin.

1254
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:51,040
Yup.

1255
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,640
But since getting the Love Your Melon, that's been warm enough for me.

1256
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:54,640
Yup.

1257
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:55,640
Again, not a sponsor, but no.

1258
00:46:55,640 --> 00:47:01,400
When I was in college, I used to carry a winger, finger, finger clip knife, which we talked

1259
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:02,640
about in a previous episode.

1260
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:03,640
Yeah.

1261
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:04,640
I really like those finger clips.

1262
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:05,640
Yes.

1263
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:06,640
They're really good.

1264
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:07,640
I used to EDC and Escobar.

1265
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:08,640
Okay.

1266
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,880
Which is a straight blade that you can put on your belt on the front.

1267
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:11,880
Yeah.

1268
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,400
And as long as you can hide it, you can have a fixed blade knife.

1269
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:16,400
Yeah.

1270
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:17,400
And I really like those.

1271
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:18,400
Yeah.

1272
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,760
I always carry chapstick in a can.

1273
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,560
I have an old Carmex can.

1274
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:23,560
Okay.

1275
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,680
And I have a funny story about that going into the Viking Stadium because I almost got

1276
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,440
my ass beat because I didn't know what it was.

1277
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,880
Because instead of the yellow, it's a white or a silver top now because it's all beat

1278
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:33,880
up and old.

1279
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:34,880
Yeah.

1280
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,800
But I always carry chapstick at all times.

1281
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,200
I also always carry cash.

1282
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:39,200
Yeah.

1283
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,680
No matter what I carry cash.

1284
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,840
My cousin says, oh, my cousin doesn't have any money.

1285
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,760
That means he has $100 on him.

1286
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:45,760
Yeah.

1287
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,720
Because I always carry plenty of cash.

1288
00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:48,720
Yeah.

1289
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:49,720
That's a smart thing to do.

1290
00:47:49,720 --> 00:47:53,200
I don't do that mostly at all ever, but cash is always good.

1291
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,960
You never know when a random game of heavy gambling is going to come down.

1292
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:57,960
So I always carry cash.

1293
00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:58,960
Yeah.

1294
00:47:58,960 --> 00:47:59,960
And I don't gamble.

1295
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:00,960
So that's probably why I don't have cash.

1296
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:01,960
I gamble and bowl.

1297
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:02,960
Yeah.

1298
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:03,960
Yeah.

1299
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:04,960
But also the businesses...

1300
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:05,960
You gamble.

1301
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:06,960
Well, I gamble and bowl.

1302
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:07,960
Gamble.

1303
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:08,960
Yeah.

1304
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:09,960
Gamble.

1305
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:10,960
There we go.

1306
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,720
I live not in the metro area, as everybody knows.

1307
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:16,640
I live up north and a lot of businesses here will not take credit card.

1308
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,320
They still accept checks for fuck's sake.

1309
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:19,680
They still accept checks.

1310
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,540
So I always carry cash.

1311
00:48:21,540 --> 00:48:25,600
And then because I have a ponytail, I also usually carry an extra hair tie around.

1312
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:26,600
Yeah.

1313
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,200
Typically, I'll even put it around my checkbook.

1314
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:29,360
There you go.

1315
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,000
And then carry a hair tie.

1316
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:37,640
I guess really quickly, if I'm leaving for longer than a day or if it's a day trip, I

1317
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:43,160
will generally carry a backpack that has some additional things in it.

1318
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,440
And this is especially true if I fly.

1319
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:46,440
Mm-hmm.

1320
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:47,680
I'll carry a backpack and I will have...

1321
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:53,160
I have a...I believe it's a four-port USB hub that I can plug into one outlet and you can

1322
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,240
charge four different devices off the USB.

1323
00:48:55,240 --> 00:49:03,600
I have a very minimalistic four three-prong extension cord, but it's really like a 12-inch

1324
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:04,600
thing.

1325
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:05,680
It wraps around.

1326
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:06,680
It's like this big.

1327
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:07,680
And you can unplug it.

1328
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:12,640
You get four outlets for one, which is great for hotel rooms or airports.

1329
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:18,400
And the USB hub kind of does double duty because most things are USB charged anyway.

1330
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:23,440
But for instance, this is where you have the circular charge port thing.

1331
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:24,440
That's nice to have.

1332
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:29,800
And then I usually carry a laptop in my headphones that I mentioned on the previous episode.

1333
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:34,160
And the other thing that I like to carry when I'm out and about and just going for a weekend

1334
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,300
or whatever is I have a USB fix stick.

1335
00:49:37,300 --> 00:49:43,120
And it's got a proprietary...it's not proprietary, but it's like a Linux-based suite of software

1336
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:44,120
that I can run.

1337
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:49,120
I can boot a computer to this stick and it has a hard drive fixing.

1338
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:50,440
It's got its own browser.

1339
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,680
It's got its own virus scanner.

1340
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,360
It's got its own clone tools.

1341
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,400
It's got everything on it you could ever need to repair a computer.

1342
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:02,400
When I was younger and I was in college and not working, I used to have a thumb drive

1343
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,760
that had a Linux program on it.

1344
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,960
So if I had to go to a cafe or more specifically a school computer...

1345
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:09,960
Was it Tails?

1346
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:10,960
I could shove it in.

1347
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:11,960
I don't remember.

1348
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,360
I probably have one still on there.

1349
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:18,420
Yeah, because you can download Tails and install it on a USB stick and you can boot any computer

1350
00:50:18,420 --> 00:50:22,680
onto that USB stick and it's its own self-contained operating system.

1351
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,280
And it's basically untrackable.

1352
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:25,280
I used to carry one of those.

1353
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:26,280
Yes.

1354
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:27,280
I used to.

1355
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,160
But mine is more for fixing if I go to my dad's house.

1356
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:35,240
And as I have got an issue with my computer, I can just stick this USB stick in, run some

1357
00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:41,940
diagnostics, do some extra administrator level things and fix stuff.

1358
00:50:41,940 --> 00:50:46,080
And if I were at a library, I could also plug this in and boot my own browser session from

1359
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:50,240
the stick and all the cache would go to the stick and not the browser there.

1360
00:50:50,240 --> 00:50:51,240
Sure.

1361
00:50:51,240 --> 00:50:54,380
I know that mine, you would boot the computer up as normal and then the flash drive would

1362
00:50:54,380 --> 00:50:59,120
come up as like a little icon and you entered into it and it would work on either Mac or

1363
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:00,120
Windows.

1364
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,880
And then you would open it up and then it started its own separate program and everything

1365
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:08,160
was logged in and you had a different IP address and all that fancy shit.

1366
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,600
For bags, I have a Duluth pack roll top bag.

1367
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,520
I have to carry around everywhere.

1368
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:19,280
And then if I don't have that, I carry a Maxpedition, it's like a Fat Max bag.

1369
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,120
It's got like a little holder for a water bottle, which I usually bring a water bottle

1370
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:24,880
with me, insulate a water bottle.

1371
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,720
I have a 50-50 bottle.

1372
00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:29,280
I also have some Yeti bottles and things like that.

1373
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,320
But I always carry my own water because I like the water at my house and I don't like

1374
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,800
water from public places.

1375
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:41,000
I usually carry my Nalgene bottle, but it's the newer style, which is not the true, like

1376
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,400
you can drop it and stuff.

1377
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,360
It'll crack, but they have a free replacement.

1378
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,520
So if it cracks, but it's a narrow mouth.

1379
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:47,520
Okay.

1380
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:52,200
So I have a wide mouth, Yeti, Nalgene style and you can wash in the dishwasher, which

1381
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:53,200
is what I can do.

1382
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:54,200
Yeah.

1383
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,840
I like mine because it's light when it's empty.

1384
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:03,240
If it's for water and for hydration purposes, cold water is better, but any water is better

1385
00:52:03,240 --> 00:52:04,240
than no water.

1386
00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:05,240
Yep.

1387
00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:08,880
And so I use that a lot when I'm flying because you empty it and bring it through security

1388
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,120
and then you fill it up at one of their fucking water fountain things.

1389
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:18,720
I got mine for concerts and trade shows because it's with Yeti branded, but it's Nalgene style.

1390
00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:22,960
You put it on a big ass carabiner and hook it on your bag and it's super light.

1391
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:24,960
It weighs basically nothing.

1392
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:30,480
And Sarah's got one of the competitors brands on, I can't remember, Camelback probably.

1393
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:31,480
Same style.

1394
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:32,480
Yeah.

1395
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,800
It's a different color and they're super expensive, but for what they are.

1396
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:39,400
But mine, I can wash in a goddamn dishwasher and I don't like washing dishes.

1397
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:40,400
Yep.

1398
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:46,760
So yeah, I think that's about it for carry stuff.

1399
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:47,760
I don't know.

1400
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,200
I mean, I guess if I go for like a longer trip, I might pack some extra extra things.

1401
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:57,640
But by and large, it's, I make sure that I always have a USB-C cable and like a lightning

1402
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:05,520
cable and then my USB hub, my battery pack or battery bank, whatever they call them,

1403
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,320
when I'm going for an extended trip.

1404
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,320
And then usually always that USB fixed stick.

1405
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:11,320
And that's what it is.

1406
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,700
And you can, it updates every once in a while, stick it into my computer at home and update

1407
00:53:14,700 --> 00:53:15,700
all the softwares.

1408
00:53:15,700 --> 00:53:17,760
But it's got like pretty much everything you would need.

1409
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,680
So if you were at a, using like a business center computer, you could plug that in and

1410
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:25,320
launch programs from that stick instead of trying to download these programs.

1411
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,440
I never have to do that because I don't have to do that either anymore because like your

1412
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:29,440
phone can do it.

1413
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,560
My phone's a hotspot and I have a laptop and I can just do the hotspot.

1414
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,960
And most of the times, like my phone will do everything I need and more.

1415
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,400
I don't even need it, but I'd like to keep that fixed stick on me because every once

1416
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,280
in a while somebody comes to me and like, you're tech savvy.

1417
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:43,640
Can you fix my computer laptop?

1418
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:45,400
Nobody does that to me anymore.

1419
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,080
And I fixed a ton of work.

1420
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,360
I used to fix all the sales guys, like computers, like at work.

1421
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:55,480
I'd pull out the fixed stick, plug it in, clean it, do the shit and it'd be fine.

1422
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:59,360
And they'd be happy and then go, you know, so it's just, it's a nice thing to have because

1423
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,400
you never know when you're going to need it.

1424
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,440
And it, you know, it's a, it's a USB stick.

1425
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:04,760
So it takes up what?

1426
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,720
And like eight ounces less than that.

1427
00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:07,720
Right.

1428
00:54:07,720 --> 00:54:08,720
Like it's super light.

1429
00:54:08,720 --> 00:54:09,720
It doesn't matter.

1430
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:10,720
No big deal.

1431
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:15,520
And you know, my thing is kind of be prepared, but not like overly prepared, right?

1432
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,040
Like so prepared that you're bogged down.

1433
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:21,240
I used to like the sand disc titanium USB drives.

1434
00:54:21,240 --> 00:54:22,240
Yeah.

1435
00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:24,560
Cause you could stick them on the outside of a bag and get beat up and didn't matter.

1436
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:25,560
Yeah.

1437
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,360
I love the micro centers because they're $3 for like 64 gigs.

1438
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,560
I know you they're so cheap that he will literally just give them to you.

1439
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:32,560
Yes.

1440
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:33,560
That is true.

1441
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:34,880
Mike's like, Hey, can you find this that other thing?

1442
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:35,880
And I'm like, sure.

1443
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:36,880
Here's the thing.

1444
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:37,880
It's 128 gigs.

1445
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:38,880
And he's like, Oh my God.

1446
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,560
Like, dude, this is like $4.

1447
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:41,560
Don't worry about it.

1448
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:42,560
It's no big deal.

1449
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:43,560
Yeah.

1450
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:44,560
Let's take it.

1451
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,000
I am not as tech savvy as Nate is.

1452
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:53,160
I am tech savvy in my field, but I'm so focused on my career generally that I just don't.

1453
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,640
It's too much work to keep up with everything.

1454
00:54:55,640 --> 00:55:00,640
Sometimes it is, you know, and there's so much stuff you can get involved with and get

1455
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:06,200
spun up about, but by and large, if you know what you need to know to keep your stuff running

1456
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:10,720
and not get like a Nigerian prince scamming you, then you're a okay.

1457
00:55:10,720 --> 00:55:14,960
And you don't have to be some super genius in the technology industry.

1458
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:15,960
You can be just fine.

1459
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:16,960
Yes.

1460
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,120
As an aside, I wanted to talk about scar stuff real quick, real quick.

1461
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:24,480
We will do that because I am burning my fingers on my cigar to be two fingers down to two

1462
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:25,560
digits down.

1463
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,480
And I am about to be Nate has a little bit more than I have.

1464
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:29,480
Yes.

1465
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:30,880
So I have a little bit more ash.

1466
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:31,880
Yes.

1467
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,160
I have a cigar lighter that is held in a Zippo case.

1468
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,280
And originally I got sharp looking.

1469
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:38,280
It is sharp.

1470
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:43,520
I have a very nice Zippo case and I used to have a Zippo insert that was a butane torch

1471
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:44,520
and it sucked.

1472
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,080
So I talked to Nate and I got a jet line brand.

1473
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:49,080
Yes.

1474
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:50,080
Insert.

1475
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:51,080
And it is awesome.

1476
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,560
It actually lights probably 10, maybe 15 cigars.

1477
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:54,560
Yeah.

1478
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:55,560
And it's real slick.

1479
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:56,560
It works really good.

1480
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:01,560
The jet line brand of lighters, I think are a good price point for a lot of performance.

1481
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:02,800
Nate has one as well.

1482
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:04,240
This one I bought in college.

1483
00:56:04,240 --> 00:56:05,240
Yeah.

1484
00:56:05,240 --> 00:56:06,240
Yep.

1485
00:56:06,240 --> 00:56:08,840
Before I was even into the big cigars and this is just a jet line.

1486
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:09,840
It's square.

1487
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,520
It's got the lighter component.

1488
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:12,520
It's not ergonomical.

1489
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:13,520
No.

1490
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:14,520
Really.

1491
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:15,520
Like it sucks.

1492
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,240
But you can control the plus minus how big you want your flame.

1493
00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:21,880
It's got a clear glass window or not glass, but like plastic window.

1494
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,280
You can see how much fluids in there, which is nice.

1495
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:28,240
And the feature I use quite a bit is on the inner lid is a flip top lid.

1496
00:56:28,240 --> 00:56:31,280
It's got three, three, I don't know what you call them.

1497
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:33,080
Jet engines in there.

1498
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:37,360
But the lid is a little mirror so you can see when your cigar is fully lit.

1499
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,200
And it works unless it's cold.

1500
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:44,080
And then if it's cold, because for season one I was outside when we were recording these

1501
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:47,880
episodes and if I kept it on the table, it would not light.

1502
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:51,720
But if I held it in my hand or kept it in my coat pocket, then it would light.

1503
00:56:51,720 --> 00:56:53,880
So that's the important thing.

1504
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:55,080
And this one's pretty beat up.

1505
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:56,560
You can tell it's seen use.

1506
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,760
It's not pretty beat up, but it's like...

1507
00:56:58,760 --> 00:56:59,760
Yeah.

1508
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:00,760
It shows signs of wear.

1509
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:01,920
Signs of wear.

1510
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,200
And this one I really like because it has a nice flame.

1511
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,600
I can see when it needs to be refilled.

1512
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:08,600
It's very easy.

1513
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:09,600
It's self-contained.

1514
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:13,040
I'm super glad that Mike got the Jetliner insert for his Zippo.

1515
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:14,040
Yeah.

1516
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:15,400
My old Zippo insert sucked.

1517
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:21,100
I brought it on a three week trip and it almost immediately stopped working, which was disappointing

1518
00:57:21,100 --> 00:57:22,560
from the Zippo company.

1519
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:27,840
And then I ended up lighting all of our cigars with a Bic because I also forgot I always

1520
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:29,240
carry a Bic lighter on me.

1521
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:30,240
Yeah.

1522
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:34,280
I have a little tiny Bic, goes in my vest pocket or pants pocket, whatever I happen

1523
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:35,400
to have on me.

1524
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,840
And I always carry a Bic just because it's always good to have fire.

1525
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:39,840
Yes.

1526
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,400
And then for cigar related, I have a Calibri V-Cut.

1527
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,680
It's my favorite cigar cutter by far.

1528
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:45,680
Yeah.

1529
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:47,240
And it also shows some sign of wear.

1530
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:48,240
Also lots of sign of wear.

1531
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:49,840
I've had it for a long time.

1532
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:55,400
And then I have like a little Paleo straight cut, which is not nearly as high quality as

1533
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:56,400
my Calibri.

1534
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:57,400
Yeah.

1535
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,600
I don't straight cut very often unless I'm smoking like a torpedo.

1536
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:01,600
Yes.

1537
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:07,160
And I talked about this recently, but I just bought a Z-Fi brand lighter, or not lighter,

1538
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:08,840
but a cutter and it's a V-Cut.

1539
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:12,920
And then it's got the cigar punch screw out in the bottom, which is nice.

1540
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,320
It's kind of a garish blue and gold, but it's very high quality.

1541
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:17,960
It was super cheap on Amazon.

1542
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:18,960
It is.

1543
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:19,960
It's hefty though.

1544
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:21,460
It feels like it's got some weight to it.

1545
00:58:21,460 --> 00:58:22,460
It's got weight to it.

1546
00:58:22,460 --> 00:58:27,080
By comparison to the Calibri though, it's not that outlandish.

1547
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:32,120
It's not as heavy as the Calibri, but it's got the side squeeze to pop and the Calibri's

1548
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,360
got the little button on the bottom to pop.

1549
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:40,160
But yeah, so those are if I'm going out and smoking and then I've got the, it's a Pardo,

1550
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,360
I don't know, kind of a Pelican knockoff or a Herffordor knockoff.

1551
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:44,360
Yeah.

1552
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:51,000
Plastic kind of hard sided with the foam inside and it's got a built in on the lid, a built

1553
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,000
in puck.

1554
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,000
Humidor puck.

1555
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,000
Yeah.

1556
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,000
That you would put your fluid in.

1557
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,920
I would have a hide and drink leather cigar holder if I'm going out for a day.

1558
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:01,720
You don't really need to humidify your cigars if you're going to go and smoke one in like

1559
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:02,720
three hours or something.

1560
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:03,720
Yeah.

1561
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,200
But I think that's it for the EDC episode.

1562
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:08,280
I believe so.

1563
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:11,640
And catch us next time and it will be Christmas time.

1564
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:12,640
Be safe, have fun.

1565
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:13,640
Thanks for listening.

1566
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:26,480
See you next time.
