1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,280
Ooohhh my god nature

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:05,360
Do do dink

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:08,880
Do boon

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:10,420
Booo

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:11,860
EEEE

6
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:16,740
Now to the reveal

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,160
Hey Chris.

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:33,520
Hey John, how are you?

9
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,940
B-B-Bo稱

10
00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:23,920
Yeah

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:34,760
I'm doing good.

12
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,040
I've got a mug that says, heck yes.

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,040
Yes you do.

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,800
That we're going to drink out of today, or that I'm going to drink out of.

15
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,440
I bought this really nice mug set for us and I just keep forgetting to bring it.

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:48,440
So you've got yours.

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,240
I've got mine.

18
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,240
Congratulations.

19
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,240
Yes.

20
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,960
I'm drinking out of a coffee mug right now.

21
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,320
It's going to be great.

22
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,320
It works.

23
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,600
Alright, so tell us the story.

24
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,120
What are we drinking?

25
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:05,120
Okay, so this is from my friends David and Wayne at Flare Data.

26
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,120
Flare Data.

27
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,120
Been working with those guys for at least 13 years, if not closer to 15.

28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:17,400
They had invited us to an event in January, but it was pretty much a drinking event.

29
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,020
And it was like, sorry guys, I really can't attend that as a Pine Cove employee.

30
00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:26,040
Not as an employee, but I could attend that if I wasn't an employee.

31
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,040
Correct.

32
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,160
So I met with them earlier this week and they were like, hey, we felt bad that you couldn't

33
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,480
make it.

34
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,080
Let us give you this instead.

35
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:39,720
I'm like, well, I will gladly accept that 64 ounce bottle of beer.

36
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,400
So they got this at Pint and Barrel in Palestine.

37
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,400
Okay.

38
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,360
It is filled with Founder's Solid Gold Premium Lager.

39
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,520
So it's not, they got it from Pint and Barrel.

40
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,520
Correct.

41
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,320
But it's not one of Pint and Barrel's.

42
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,320
No.

43
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,320
Does Pint and Barrel make beer?

44
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,920
As best I can tell on their site, no.

45
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,040
They just have existing beers on tap.

46
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,200
But it is Founder's.

47
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,200
It is Founder's.

48
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,200
And we like Founder's.

49
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,240
Yes, love the breakfast out.

50
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,680
Although we have not had this.

51
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,360
Not this, but I'm also, I'm a self-admitted beer snob.

52
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,200
If it's not dark beer, I don't like it.

53
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,200
Paler.

54
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,400
But hey, when you get free beer, you drink the free beer.

55
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,400
You say thank you very much.

56
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,400
I'll drink it.

57
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,800
I mean, we say that, but also you brought a backup.

58
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,800
Just in case.

59
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,800
Just in case.

60
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,800
You never know.

61
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,840
Although I do have a track record on the show of just powering through anyways.

62
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:33,840
Yeah, yeah, you do.

63
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,080
So I mean of some really questionable.

64
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,480
What is going on?

65
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,480
Here we go.

66
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,240
So, but I do have their blur pulled up off their site since we don't go for it.

67
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,240
Yeah.

68
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,120
Actual bottle to read off of.

69
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,880
So it says our brewery was built on an attitude of no regrets.

70
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,480
No regrets.

71
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,880
That's what came to mind the first time I read it.

72
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:54,880
Not even one letter.

73
00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:00,320
No, an attitude of taking risks, bringing the best beer possible to our fellow renegades

74
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,320
and rebels.

75
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,320
Okay.

76
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,980
Never brewing to style, but always brewing what we want to drink.

77
00:03:05,980 --> 00:03:10,520
Our take on a classic solid gold is a drinkable premium lager.

78
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,040
I'm glad it's drinkable.

79
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,560
Brewed with the highest quality ingredients, changing what a lager can be.

80
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,680
That's something we won't regret.

81
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,680
Regret.

82
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:30,480
I don't think AI wrote that or anything, but the fact that they use drinkable as a, I don't

83
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,480
know.

84
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,080
Well, I'm going to take it that there's kind of a dig at other places and saying that,

85
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,560
hey, your beer is not even drinkable.

86
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,560
Oh gosh.

87
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,560
Okay.

88
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,560
So shot over the bow.

89
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Shot over the bow.

90
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,960
Hey, we actually have drinkable beer.

91
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,960
Yes.

92
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,120
And so their tasting notes say crisp notes of cereal grain and a hint of lemon with a

93
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,360
light body and low bitterness.

94
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,360
Okay.

95
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,880
4.4% and it is a 20 on the IBU.

96
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,160
So it is pretty low on the bitter.

97
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:10,720
I'm all for low on the bitter, but light on the body and this may be a, what I call a

98
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,040
lawn work beer.

99
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,440
If I've been sweating and I'm going to drink a beer, it's probably not going to be a dark

100
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,440
one.

101
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,440
No, probably not.

102
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,080
So maybe it's one of those.

103
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,040
It's like the Gatorade of beers.

104
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,280
It might look like Gatorade.

105
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:29,200
Okay, let's hopefully not.

106
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,120
We're about to see a color for the first time here.

107
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,360
I'll make my pour and then I'll just pass you the rest of the bottle.

108
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,360
Thanks man.

109
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,600
Cause you'll need to keep that cup full.

110
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,560
I just going to have to keep refilling it over here because it is not the same.

111
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,560
All right.

112
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,600
Oh no.

113
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,880
That is very blonde, Chris.

114
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,880
Are you okay?

115
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,400
I'm going to power through it.

116
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,400
Okay.

117
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,400
Wow.

118
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,400
Okay.

119
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,400
You are going to power through it.

120
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,400
It just keeps coming.

121
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,560
I want to make sure that I get my half.

122
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:58,560
You get your half.

123
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,240
You get my half and your half.

124
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,240
32 ounces.

125
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,440
Yeah, it's only 4.4 though.

126
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,320
All right.

127
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,320
I like it.

128
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,280
I'm taking a picture of mine.

129
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:15,000
I'm going to pass this small jug to you.

130
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,000
It's okay.

131
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,960
I got it by the handle the way you're supposed to.

132
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,440
I should drink it out of this instead of using my heck yes mug.

133
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,240
I just sit over here.

134
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,520
Look like an old moonshiner.

135
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,520
Like a moonshiner.

136
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,520
Yeah.

137
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,840
I mean, I love these old 64 ounce.

138
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:32,840
Yeah.

139
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:36,800
Whatever you call them.

140
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,800
Not tumblers.

141
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:38,800
Growler.

142
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,800
Growler.

143
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,800
Thank you.

144
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,800
You said it a second ago.

145
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,840
I just couldn't come up with it while I was trying not to pour the beer on my pants.

146
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:44,840
Okay.

147
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:47,080
I'm psyching myself up for this.

148
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,280
It's going to be great.

149
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:53,200
Just think I am super hot and sweaty and I don't.

150
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,840
I'm just trying to get some electrolytes in my body.

151
00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:58,840
That's what you need to think.

152
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:01,840
All right.

153
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:03,200
Hey, cheers.

154
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,200
I'm sorry, Chris.

155
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,720
Okay.

156
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,440
So here's the thing.

157
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:22,880
If you are into paler beers, I need you to know that this is the equivalent of in my

158
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:29,600
mind, people that make fun of me for not being a real coffee drinker.

159
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,000
I'm like doubly not a real coffee drinker because not only do I have milk in my coffee,

160
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000
which is what my grandmother always used to say, if you put milk in your coffee, you're

161
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,280
not a real coffee drinker.

162
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:47,120
But not only am I not a real coffee drinker because I put milk in my coffee, I put chocolate

163
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,160
in that milk that goes in my coffee.

164
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,680
So that's really the only kind of coffee that I like.

165
00:06:53,680 --> 00:07:06,320
This to me is like that where it's like it tastes more like beers that are this light

166
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,320
to me.

167
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,560
And I don't mean like calories because it's not a light beer, is it?

168
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,560
They don't say it is.

169
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,240
Please tell me it's not a light beer.

170
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:30,000
So the lighter colored beers generally to me just don't taste like anything.

171
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,560
It's like those sparkling waters that are all like the rage now.

172
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,160
And people will be like, oh, it's got lime in it.

173
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,200
And it's like, yeah, not very much.

174
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,120
It's not like it's sprite.

175
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,800
I'm finding it hard to believe that that's a 20 on the IBU.

176
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,280
Is it bitter, dude?

177
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,240
Because to me, there was way more bitter there than I expected.

178
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,560
The reason that I think that you've got that on your tongue is because there's not much

179
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,120
other flavor.

180
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,840
Perhaps.

181
00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,840
That's what I'm saying.

182
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,320
There's not really anything to it.

183
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:07,280
It's more like water than it's like anything else.

184
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,000
That's a personal opinion.

185
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Take it for what it is.

186
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,200
Are you going to power through?

187
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,200
I'm going to power through.

188
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,920
It's not horrible.

189
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,520
I mean, you've got to really be bad to be worse than Old Rasputin.

190
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,560
Oh my gosh, that was terrible.

191
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:24,560
Horrible.

192
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:30,920
And I will say, real quick, if you heard the last show, the beer selection was a little

193
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:31,920
rough.

194
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:32,920
Yeah.

195
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,640
We're on a streak right now.

196
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,640
Yeah, we are.

197
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:37,640
I don't know what to do with this.

198
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,720
So this is a step up from those.

199
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,120
But what I will say for those beers, they actually made us talk about the beer.

200
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,400
And that's the one thing I've been saying that we need to do more of on the show.

201
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,280
We need to talk a little more on the front end about the beer because it's pretty much

202
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,280
a drink.

203
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,280
Oh, that's great.

204
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,280
All right.

205
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,280
What are we talking about?

206
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,280
Yeah.

207
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,200
And I would say like beer, I think for us, you talked about being a snob.

208
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,520
Yes, I am.

209
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:06,680
I'll call that knowing what you like because there are people out there that love this

210
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:07,680
stuff.

211
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:09,520
Like this is beer to them.

212
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,040
They're like, this is amazing.

213
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,440
I mean, there are people that like IPAs and I'm like, I don't know what's wrong with

214
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,440
you.

215
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,440
But brain damage.

216
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:25,360
They intentionally made it not good so that it could survive going around the horn of

217
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,360
Africa.

218
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,360
Yes.

219
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:33,000
Because if they didn't, it wouldn't travel the distance.

220
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,600
So they made it not good.

221
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,320
It's not supposed to taste like that.

222
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:47,920
It's supposed to be in a boat for another couple of months and gross.

223
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,520
But people like it.

224
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,520
And I'm like, okay.

225
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,920
Whatever you say, man.

226
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,040
But like, I mean, this is the kind of beer that I started drinking.

227
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,600
When I first started drinking beer, there was not much taste to it.

228
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,840
You had to put a lime in it sometimes.

229
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,840
Yeah.

230
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,920
I couldn't touch Guinness at that point when I started.

231
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:09,920
It was too much.

232
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:10,920
Yeah.

233
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,760
No, I totally get that.

234
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:18,080
But it's that like, oh, no, like there's a taste here that you don't realize.

235
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,160
And you know, you get bit like I did.

236
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:28,320
I don't remember the first dark beer that I drank, but it's like, it just was a little

237
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,080
bit gross.

238
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,320
It was not Guinness.

239
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,040
But it made me like, oh, no, I don't like dark beers.

240
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,040
You do.

241
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,040
You just don't.

242
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,040
You don't know it yet.

243
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,680
And I would say like there's lighter beers, lighter beers, like lighter lagers.

244
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:47,280
I like reds or some reds.

245
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:53,920
There have been some lighter lagers that I felt like have had plenty of taste to them.

246
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,320
This is not one of them.

247
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,320
Yeah.

248
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,320
They.

249
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,560
This is a little natty light for me, if you know what I'm saying.

250
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,800
It's been a long time since I've had a natty light.

251
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,240
Just I'm just saying like, and I feel like you're disrespecting the natty light.

252
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,200
I'm not disrespecting the natty light.

253
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,840
I'm just saying there are beers that are supposed to be drank really cold.

254
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:13,840
Sure.

255
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,120
That is one of them.

256
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,400
And that is one of them.

257
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,440
I think I think probably, and this is cold.

258
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,400
Like good job keeping everything cold.

259
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,440
Chris cheers to you.

260
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,560
But I feel like it's supposed to be maybe sub 32 degrees.

261
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:28,560
Yeah.

262
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:29,560
That's the key with Natty.

263
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:34,600
When you can get it to where the ice chips are starting to form, boy, it just takes on

264
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,600
a whole nother level.

265
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:44,000
Man, any beer that has like there's like a some one of the flavors and especially it,

266
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,440
it's definitely more prevalent in this type of beer to me.

267
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,040
It tastes like soap.

268
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,040
That's the best way.

269
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,560
Like the like Dawn dish soap.

270
00:11:55,560 --> 00:12:00,120
That's that's there's a little like I don't know what that is that causes that.

271
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,160
But every once in a while when I'm drinking these beers, I'm like, did they just clean

272
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,560
this cup?

273
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:11,960
Well, they talk about hint of lemon.

274
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:18,280
I mean, maybe like the citrusy like I guess there's a bite a little bit.

275
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:23,160
And as I've taken a few more drinks, it's like the bitter has started that I was detecting

276
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,160
has started to fade.

277
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,920
But it was really bitter, like on the side of my tongue.

278
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,920
Yeah.

279
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:28,920
That first couple of drinks.

280
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:36,560
I definitely feel like it should be higher in alcohol content so that, you know, we get

281
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:39,960
through this faster.

282
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,000
Anyway, 4.4 just means you can drink that many more ounces.

283
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Yeah.

284
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:52,240
So this is, you know, a couple bucks and tell us what you what you think about beer and

285
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:58,360
what you prefer, because if you're one of those IPA guys, we're probably going to make

286
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,360
fun of you.

287
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,320
But there's a lot of them.

288
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,320
There are a lot out there.

289
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,320
Doesn't mean they can't be wrong.

290
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,280
You go to fresh and it seems like that's all you see.

291
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,520
Yeah, I don't get it, man.

292
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,400
It's like, yuck.

293
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,400
Yep.

294
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,680
That's why we're friends.

295
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:20,640
That's not why we're friends.

296
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaking of friends, I wanted to take this show and kind of talk a little bit about technology

297
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,000
bringing us together.

298
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,220
OK.

299
00:13:33,220 --> 00:13:36,760
Not just us, but people.

300
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,760
Right.

301
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:46,020
So one of the like we're we're obviously bought into this.

302
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:47,760
We are podcasting.

303
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:48,760
Right.

304
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,600
So if nothing else, we I think we talked about this to begin with.

305
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,840
If nothing else, this is an opportunity for me and you to get together.

306
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:03,480
So there's just community building at the very not community building.

307
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,480
It's like community.

308
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,540
I almost said management.

309
00:14:09,540 --> 00:14:11,880
That's not good either.

310
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,880
We're maintaining relationship here.

311
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:14,880
Yes.

312
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,600
And that's the one of the goals is just to be able to get together and talk about things

313
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,080
that we are interested in.

314
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,080
Yeah.

315
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,080
Beer and gear.

316
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,080
Very easy.

317
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,080
Yep.

318
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:33,840
This is not really a gear as much podcast in today's episode.

319
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:40,200
We're going to talk a little bit about software because their podcasts, I think, do a great

320
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:47,360
job of not only going the step beyond like you and me talking, but we're we're we are

321
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,320
making it possible for other people to join in in that conversation.

322
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,320
Yes.

323
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:57,600
That's the hope, at least one of the hopes is that other people would be able to listen

324
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,480
to it and be like, I agree.

325
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,980
I don't agree.

326
00:15:00,980 --> 00:15:03,480
This is part of this.

327
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,000
This is for me.

328
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,160
I think it has more to do with this or that or, you know, whatever the conversation, wherever

329
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,480
the conversation would take us inside of I prefer this gear.

330
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,600
I prefer this gear.

331
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:20,160
I mean, I'm actually surprised there's not more of that with people just being really

332
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,720
excited about sharing their divisive opinion sometimes.

333
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,160
But yeah, I guess for a lot of that, you've got to go to YouTube.

334
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,160
Everybody wants video.

335
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,160
They want to see it.

336
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,160
I get that.

337
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,880
You know, like when we were doing the audio signal gear, it would have been nice for people

338
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:37,880
to be able to see it.

339
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:38,880
Yeah.

340
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,000
And I think another way of doing that is chapter art.

341
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Yeah.

342
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,480
And so you can throw up an image of what exactly it is that you're talking about.

343
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,160
And if you don't know what we're talking about with chapter art, it's because you're not

344
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,160
using the right podcast.

345
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,160
Yes.

346
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,960
You need a podcasting 2.0 app.

347
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:54,960
Yeah.

348
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,120
Find a podcasting 2.0 app.

349
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,680
A modern podcast app.

350
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:58,680
Modern.

351
00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:59,680
Yeah.

352
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:00,680
Get away from the app.

353
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,200
I think we're both using Fountain right now, I think.

354
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,640
I am podcast addict.

355
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,080
Oh, podcast addict.

356
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,080
Yes.

357
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,080
Okay.

358
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,080
Fountain's a great app.

359
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,080
Fountain's a great app.

360
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,080
Cross platform.

361
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,080
Cross platform.

362
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,200
Got to love that.

363
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:23,320
Like there's, anyway, again, talking about part of this, we're not talking politics.

364
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,320
No.

365
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,320
We're not talking politics.

366
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,780
We're not going to talk politics.

367
00:16:26,780 --> 00:16:29,600
That's not what we're going to do in this podcast.

368
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,520
But that's the new show that we'll start.

369
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:41,320
I think that we are all very aware of how divided a lot of opinions are in a lot of

370
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,760
different areas.

371
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,320
Yes.

372
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,880
Some people are Apple and some people are not.

373
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,440
That's not people are not.

374
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,440
Okay.

375
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,000
I'm just, I'm saying.

376
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,440
Here's the thing though.

377
00:16:54,440 --> 00:17:04,480
If you only ever hear from the other non-Apple people, you miss half of the conversation.

378
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,480
Yeah.

379
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:06,840
You get caught in an echo chamber.

380
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,080
Same for the other side of it.

381
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,080
Yes.

382
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:14,600
So I'm just saying apply that to whatever political stuff you want.

383
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:21,360
And the point is, I think inside of all of this different technology allowing different

384
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:33,200
modes of these communication, we just have to be really careful not to allow ourselves

385
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,000
to be only echo chambered.

386
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Yeah.

387
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Inside of it.

388
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,720
Because the algorithm will get you.

389
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,640
Have friends that are saying the things that you don't want to hear.

390
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:52,960
Have friends that are telling you that FaceTime is not as important as you think it is.

391
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,600
Blue bubbles are not all that matters.

392
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,820
Green bubbles are not the enemy.

393
00:18:00,820 --> 00:18:05,080
Though sometimes they really mess things up.

394
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,680
I guess technically I still maybe show up as a green bubble.

395
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:09,800
Oh, not technically.

396
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,480
You are definitely a green bubble.

397
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:17,000
But because of the integration now, I can see when I've sent it to you.

398
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,040
I can see when you read it.

399
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,840
I can see when you're typing.

400
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:27,580
So I mean, some of that iMessage type of interaction is there.

401
00:18:27,580 --> 00:18:32,080
If that's lemon, it's the Rhine of the lemon.

402
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,640
Sorry.

403
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:34,800
Yes.

404
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,240
You can see these different things.

405
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,440
Yes.

406
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,160
All green bubble.

407
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,160
But you got to be able to listen to the green bubble.

408
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,160
I'm just saying.

409
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:55,160
And so like all of that being said, there's a couple different things that have been brought

410
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,440
up to me lately.

411
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,360
The reason that I wanted to talk about this to begin with was actually a guy who was telling

412
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:02,920
me that he was interested in podcast stuff.

413
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,840
I was like, great, let's go talk podcast stuff.

414
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:09,080
And then he's like, actually, I'm kind of moving towards instead of just doing a podcast,

415
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,360
I'm looking at Mighty Networks.

416
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:14,400
And I was like, I have no idea what you're talking about.

417
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:20,840
So when someone says that and it's tech related to me, I go look up what the heck they're

418
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:21,840
talking about.

419
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:22,840
Check it out.

420
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:28,760
So Mighty Networks is a cool platform.

421
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:37,200
They have decided to try to take things a little bit further than they, I would say,

422
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,600
has been, it's not further.

423
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:42,600
That's the wrong word.

424
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,480
They've tried to group some things that aren't always grouped together.

425
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:53,880
Most of the time, I really applaud, like, if you've got something that you're good at,

426
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,200
stay in that lane.

427
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,200
Yes.

428
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:02,200
Like, I depend on you to do the thing that I depend on you to do really well, because

429
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,680
you do it better than everyone else.

430
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,800
I want you to keep doing that.

431
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,840
You get all convoluted in trying to do everybody else's job and then all of a sudden, your

432
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:19,920
other stuff is not as good or you don't pay any attention to the feedback inside of it

433
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,280
and you think that you know, we know what they want.

434
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,360
We'll give them what they want.

435
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:27,080
They just don't know they want it yet.

436
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,360
That sounds like the Apple approach.

437
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:32,840
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's Steve Jobs' trademark.

438
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:41,200
But all that to say, so like things like YouTube, they're a video platform, right?

439
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,200
This is what they do.

440
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,200
Yep.

441
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,200
Instagram was a photo platform.

442
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,200
Yes.

443
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,880
And then it was like, you know, we really want to do is to be able to compete with things

444
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:52,880
like YouTube.

445
00:20:52,880 --> 00:21:00,280
And it was like, look, guys, and then it's like Facebook, all the all the things.

446
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:12,680
I'm not saying that you can't expand your, you know, whatever you're doing, but you got

447
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,680
to do with a little more like thought than reaction.

448
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:16,680
Correct.

449
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,880
What it looks like Mighty is trying to do is they're trying to start with we're going

450
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,900
to we're going to pull in a lot of different things.

451
00:21:23,900 --> 00:21:29,860
So they they call themselves a community platform.

452
00:21:29,860 --> 00:21:38,080
The idea is that it makes it easy for somebody who's making content, not just making content,

453
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:45,280
but like also maybe doing online courses or hosting events of some kind, whether that's

454
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:51,960
teaching or network building, I'm sure, or anything like that, like that they would have

455
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:57,320
one place that they're trying to bring a community together inside of.

456
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:04,480
Now this gets a little bit strange because as I'm like thinking about it and trying to

457
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:13,040
wrap my head around it, the idea that my friend had that that was more like wellness related

458
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,680
where they're they're trying to get information that they have out about living a healthy

459
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,520
lifestyle in a bunch of different way, like not ways, but like aspects of what that means

460
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,640
and healthy lifestyle.

461
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,840
There's a lot of things to talk about and what I like about it is that as a community

462
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:34,360
you're using a community platform, you're going to bring in people from a lot of different

463
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:43,840
walks of life where that like only getting one opinion.

464
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:52,720
Not necessarily going to happen or only one seeing one like form of thought.

465
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:53,720
Not as likely.

466
00:22:53,720 --> 00:23:01,640
Anyway, so this got me thinking and I was like, okay, I Chris, I know, I know that you

467
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,640
are a huge fan of social media.

468
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:10,720
Let me tell you, you I mean, it's like the day social media came out, you were like,

469
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,040
finally, all of my prayers have been answered.

470
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:20,520
Aside from seeing Michelle, this is the best day of my life.

471
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,760
Best thing ever.

472
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:28,720
All kinds of sarcasm dripping inside of that.

473
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:35,400
But the idea that social media is not our favorite thing, it should not be anybody's

474
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,280
like, whatever.

475
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:46,320
But how do people like us leverage the technology that we have at our fingertips to be able

476
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:58,200
to collaborate, to be able to share ideas, to be able to bounce questions off of each

477
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:06,600
other, to be able to have like, oh, I ran into something.

478
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,000
Has anybody else seen this or know of an answer?

479
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:19,200
And actually have any kind of, I guess, structure to that that's not, well, I'm going to Google

480
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,600
it.

481
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:25,240
And then if I don't get the answer that I want, I'm going to YouTube it.

482
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,760
And I'd always rather talk to my friends than whatever, because I got some really smart

483
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,280
friends.

484
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:42,120
Chris and I live in a very underrated community here in Tyler, Texas.

485
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:48,680
There's quite a lot of snobbery that is pointed at us from other places.

486
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,000
Number one, we're in Texas.

487
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:58,520
So obviously we ride horses to work and cowboy hats and the whole night don't know what a

488
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,600
car is.

489
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,200
We don't know this is a sophisticated part of life.

490
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,360
Yes, no, we're not sophisticated at all.

491
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:07,040
And you know, there's an element of that.

492
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,560
I was watching Braveheart again the other day.

493
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,480
Yeah, I didn't see that in a while.

494
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,480
So good still.

495
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:24,880
And he's getting talked behind his back, but in front of him when he's talking to the princess

496
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,320
and her advisor or whatever is talking to her in Latin and doesn't know that he speaks

497
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:34,440
Latin and he says that he never lies, but he is a savage.

498
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,640
And that's that like, I mean, I feel like that so many times when people talk about

499
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:44,160
Texas, I'm like, I mean, yeah, we are probably the things that you think that we are.

500
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,840
We're also not the things that you think that we are.

501
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,520
And you don't necessarily care that you think that.

502
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,520
Correct.

503
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,320
But it does mean that sometimes we get kind of pigeonholed into this.

504
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,200
Don't know what they're talking about side of things.

505
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:07,840
And not only are we in Texas, we're in East Texas, which is.

506
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,920
It's not Dallas.

507
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,560
It's not Dallas.

508
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:12,960
And it's not West Texas.

509
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,040
No, it's not.

510
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,520
Which I just want to say that's a whole nother animal out there.

511
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,520
West Texas is maybe what you're thinking Texas is.

512
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,100
Not you, but like, well, people that think of Texas, like, I would say if you're picturing

513
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:28,600
a desert right now, you're picturing West Texas.

514
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,880
That's what you're picturing as a kid.

515
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,840
When my grandparents was down here, Indiana, you weren't here originally.

516
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:37,840
No, no, no, no, no.

517
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,500
And so even even before my grandparents moved here, you hear Texas.

518
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:44,180
It's instantly Cowboys and Indians Cowboys and Indians.

519
00:26:44,180 --> 00:26:48,760
And then my grandparents moved down here and you're on the phone like, are you all seeing

520
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,760
the cactuses?

521
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:50,760
No, no, no, no.

522
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:51,760
Not a single one.

523
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:52,760
No.

524
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,760
And I'm like, but you're in Texas.

525
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:55,760
Yeah.

526
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,560
Well, then where's the cactus at?

527
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,040
Well, it's not like that in this part of Texas.

528
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,480
About seven hours that way.

529
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:02,480
Yes.

530
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,140
So yeah, I mean, I totally get that outside perspective that people have of Texas of thinking

531
00:27:07,140 --> 00:27:12,720
one thing and we happen to be in part of Texas that just is not that.

532
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,400
But you could you go out past Fort Worth.

533
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,400
Yeah.

534
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,280
Get an hour or so out.

535
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,280
Yeah.

536
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,760
There's the Texas that people are thinking of.

537
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,020
Oh, yeah.

538
00:27:23,020 --> 00:27:28,960
And I'm still I don't know, 10 hours away from El Paso.

539
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,280
Yes.

540
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,280
And this is going to look like this for a while.

541
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,280
Yes.

542
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:39,480
I'm just saying Big Bend is really pretty, but there's nothing to look at when you're

543
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,640
driving out that way.

544
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,640
Correct.

545
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,640
I totally get that.

546
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,320
There's a whole lot of Texas that's not that.

547
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,320
Yeah.

548
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:51,040
And I would say there's for those of you that are mad at us about other things, there's

549
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,600
a whole lot of Texas that's not that either.

550
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:54,600
Correct.

551
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,680
And maybe there's a lot of Texas that is what you're thinking.

552
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,320
So I don't care.

553
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:06,520
But all that to say, I've got really smart friends and I would like to ask them because

554
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,700
even if they don't have the answer, I'm pretty sure they can find the answer.

555
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:23,240
So like there's the like I want to be able to leverage the technology that we have and

556
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:29,920
the tools that are at our disposal to be able to actually build community.

557
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:35,040
And I'm not necessarily saying that it has to be the people around me that live here

558
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,440
or anything like that.

559
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:42,160
But if I could just not have it be everyone, that'd be great.

560
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,160
Sure.

561
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,160
Enter Mastodon.

562
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,760
Yeah, I know a little bit about Mastodon.

563
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,720
All right, let's talk about Mastodon.

564
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:51,720
Okay, yeah.

565
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:52,720
So Mastodon.

566
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,440
We're going to be tooting folks.

567
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:57,920
You know that's what it's called, right?

568
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:58,920
Yeah.

569
00:28:58,920 --> 00:28:59,920
Okay.

570
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:00,920
You just you went quiet on me.

571
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:01,920
I did.

572
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:02,920
What's he talking about?

573
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,760
I was hoping we could like we just talked about Texas and not being if we could if we

574
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:14,920
could not have the like blazing saddles like where the white women.

575
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:20,400
Oh, movies that you can't make anymore.

576
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,800
Oh, man.

577
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:34,720
Anyway, so the you know, their tagline on their the top tagline or whatever on their

578
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:40,480
in Mastodon.org website is social networking that's not for sale.

579
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:41,480
Yes.

580
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,560
The idea, though, is is less about I guess not not having ads.

581
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,960
Well, maybe maybe it is mostly that's where they started.

582
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,960
I don't actually know the story here.

583
00:29:50,960 --> 00:30:01,000
But what is appealing to this to me inside of this is the idea that you can you can create

584
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:11,160
a server for your particular community community.

585
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,160
Yeah.

586
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,160
Yeah.

587
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,040
And Mastodon is what old school Twitter was.

588
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,040
Yes.

589
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,040
There is school Twitter.

590
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,640
It was literally just it rolled on pass.

591
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,160
And if you missed it, you missed it.

592
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:30,160
There wasn't all this curation and there's not Mastodon doesn't have algorithm.

593
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,240
To feed the things to you.

594
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:38,040
I mean, it's literally just this giant river of posts.

595
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,440
And if you missed it, you missed it.

596
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:48,120
So yeah, I was on Mastodon for a little while for the new agenda podcast.

597
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,280
They had their own instance.

598
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,600
And so that was a whole community built around that podcast.

599
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:55,860
Right.

600
00:30:55,860 --> 00:30:57,720
Then they got some bad apples in the mix.

601
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,880
Oh, and it kind of disbanded.

602
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:04,640
And then that was kind of my last stint of anything social media.

603
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:09,120
And that was probably two or three years ago now.

604
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,520
Sand Chris.

605
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,500
But you can stand up your own to your point.

606
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:14,500
You can run.

607
00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:16,520
You can literally run this on some computer at home.

608
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,960
Doesn't have to be anything special.

609
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:24,360
Or there are companies who will run it for you in their cloud.

610
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,360
Yeah.

611
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:26,360
Hosted.

612
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,360
Yep.

613
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,120
It's a good platform.

614
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:40,520
So it's that like the idea of creating a space and being able to like kind of fly under the

615
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,860
radar with what's going on.

616
00:31:43,860 --> 00:31:52,640
What do we say about one of the things that's been fun, you know, because we've we've talked

617
00:31:52,640 --> 00:32:02,120
about Windows and Apple for a long, long, long, long, long time now.

618
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:07,220
One of the things that we that I remember from early on in our conversations was the

619
00:32:07,220 --> 00:32:12,440
idea that innovation always drives more innovation.

620
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,440
It does.

621
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:14,440
Yeah, absolutely.

622
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,040
There's always that competition is going to drive innovation.

623
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:27,720
Yes, the the idea that one person being able to tweak something and make something or make

624
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:36,000
something new or whatever is going to explode ideas all over the place and and just being

625
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:50,200
able to be in a spot where you can be a little bit freer with that, where you can have ideas

626
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:55,680
or you can have questions and not having to worry about it like we we're all trying to

627
00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:00,200
belong as human beings in all these different aspects.

628
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:08,440
We have our identity, who we, you know, have found ourselves to be or been told that we

629
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,440
are.

630
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:17,520
And then we have, you know, our peers, the group of people that we belong with.

631
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:18,520
And then we have our heroes.

632
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:27,680
And those are the people that we try to attain to, that we want to be one of, you know, that

633
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:28,680
type of thing.

634
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:34,280
And and I think having.

635
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:40,880
Having more of these opportunities is not reinventing the wheel.

636
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,320
Like, you know, social media is what it is.

637
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,640
But I don't know about you, but it just like sucks the life out of me.

638
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:54,400
Yeah, human beings were not made for social media.

639
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,480
It doesn't seem like it.

640
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:57,480
No.

641
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,920
We just don't we don't work that way.

642
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:05,400
We've never had this level of communication amongst ourselves.

643
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,240
For essentially all the existence of mankind.

644
00:34:09,240 --> 00:34:12,600
And so now you're getting blasted by everybody from everywhere.

645
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,880
Now, anybody can say anything they want, how they want, whenever they want.

646
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:22,520
And people are going to be more brash and bold to speak up on social media than they

647
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:23,800
would ever be face to face.

648
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:24,800
Oh, gosh, no.

649
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:30,840
So it really brings out some of the worst parts of people.

650
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:36,040
And then you've got the impact that it has on kids, especially young girls.

651
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,440
And all they're seeing is this perfection.

652
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,400
Well, I don't have that in my life.

653
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,400
What's wrong with me?

654
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:43,400
Right.

655
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,400
I don't look like that.

656
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,400
What's wrong with me?

657
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:50,720
You know, and there's even grown people who, once they get into social media, they still

658
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:53,480
have some of those very same struggles and challenges.

659
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,120
Oh, you just can't, they just can't separate it.

660
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:04,320
It is like the number of times that Laurie talks about, that my wife talks about, you

661
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:09,160
know, that she's not being a good mother or she's not, you know, being a good wife or

662
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,160
something like that.

663
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,360
I'm like, where are you getting that?

664
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:16,320
And it is all about comparison.

665
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:23,400
And I'm not saying that you wouldn't like compare yourself to each other in any community.

666
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:30,880
But when you're talking like all of the women in all of the world and you're only seeing

667
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,880
the curated part of their lives, like that's not healthy.

668
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,120
No, very, very few people actually put the real thing on social media.

669
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,120
Yeah.

670
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,000
And then also the like, it's either like they're showing you their best day or their worst

671
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,000
day.

672
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Yeah.

673
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,120
And the worst days, you know, mean that you've got, you know, empathy fatigue all the time

674
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,720
because you're bearing everyone's tragedies all the time as well.

675
00:35:55,720 --> 00:36:00,920
And that's been hard for me lately to try to deal with is just the idea that like I

676
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:12,960
cannot, it's not that I'm heartless because I know that I care very deeply for, I mean,

677
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:13,960
a lot.

678
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:14,960
Yeah.

679
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:22,840
But like the number of times that I cannot catch my breath because I go from one death

680
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:28,960
or severe chronic illness to another, to another, to another.

681
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:35,880
And it's just not a good situation.

682
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:44,880
And makes it hard to still feel actual grief for the person who's right in front of you.

683
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,040
I get home, my son's having a bad day.

684
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,760
I don't want to hear about it.

685
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:49,760
Sure.

686
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:50,760
Yeah.

687
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,320
Why are you having a bad, don't have a bad day.

688
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,320
I've got to carry everybody else's bad day.

689
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:55,320
Yep.

690
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:56,320
You're not allowed to have a bad day.

691
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,320
Yeah.

692
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:02,920
Let me tell you what, my son should be allowed to have a bad day with his daddy.

693
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:03,920
Yeah.

694
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:14,000
And it's that type of thing with you and me being able to sit here and talk about what

695
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,400
that actually looks like.

696
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,000
That's the community I want.

697
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Sure.

698
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Yeah.

699
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:27,440
So, I mean, you know, there's the idea of, do you limit community by only limiting or

700
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,920
only having it around part of the time?

701
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:37,480
Like we do a show every two weeks.

702
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:42,120
I mean, I'd like to talk more often.

703
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:51,880
So, the timing of it has been more just life getting busy for, you know, your life has

704
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:52,880
been busy.

705
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:53,880
Sure.

706
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:59,600
My life is getting busier right now and then someday we'll ship our kids off to college

707
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,960
too.

708
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:19,080
But you know, but what, I guess what handcuffs do you put on the technology in order to actually

709
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,560
create real community instead of just fake community, which is what most social media

710
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:24,560
looks like?

711
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:30,820
Yeah, that's tough because, I mean, you're just talking about the basic human nature

712
00:38:30,820 --> 00:38:33,560
and how do you restrict that?

713
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:41,320
Yeah, I don't know how you put guardrails on that for the general, you know, I mean,

714
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,440
I know what I've done for my kids.

715
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,280
You know, it's been no social media.

716
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:46,280
Yeah.

717
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,080
You know, Garrett didn't get social media until he was 19 years old.

718
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:55,920
And even now there's still some times when we're like, hold up, pump the brakes there,

719
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:00,760
you know, and I've got a 15 year old daughter who's like, well, why can't I have Instagram

720
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:01,760
and TikTok?

721
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:02,760
Everybody else has it.

722
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:03,760
I'm like, yeah.

723
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,840
And without being too rude, look at how they're doing.

724
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:08,840
Yeah.

725
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:09,840
Hey, their parents don't love them.

726
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:10,840
Yes.

727
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:11,840
That was rude.

728
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:12,840
Yes.

729
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,520
So yeah, it's just one of the things like, and even with my wife, there are times that

730
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:21,240
I have to tell her you really need to turn that off.

731
00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:22,720
You know, and she's only on Facebook.

732
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:27,320
You know, she's not into all the, all the others, but there are just times that it's

733
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,040
just kind of like, okay, you need to turn that off.

734
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:36,400
You need a digital detox because you're just consuming too much junk and it's, and it's

735
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:41,240
impacting you and it's, we need to step away.

736
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:47,840
So in terms of putting barriers and controls on that, that's, that's tough to do with the

737
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:48,840
general public.

738
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,700
I mean, yeah, you could have somebody who is essentially the policeman.

739
00:39:53,700 --> 00:39:58,640
Like if we, if we had our own mastodon instance, you could have a moderator on there who's

740
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:05,160
trying to keep things in check and under control and remind people of, Hey, this isn't acceptable

741
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,160
here.

742
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:10,600
Or, but you know, you know, I don't know that you can honestly control it.

743
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:16,720
It's just the broken nature of man.

744
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:20,440
I mean, yes, absolutely.

745
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:30,920
Yeah, that, that brokenness is, is, is pretty unquestioned over here.

746
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:31,920
Correct.

747
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:46,640
It's just, it has more to do with the next step because I, I, I don't want to, like when

748
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:51,720
you don't trust media outlets anymore, you just stop, stop watching media outlets.

749
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:52,720
Yeah.

750
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:53,720
Okay.

751
00:40:53,720 --> 00:40:58,360
But there are things that are happening that don't really get talked about anywhere else

752
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,000
other than on media outlets.

753
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:08,640
And I just need a place that tells me what's happening without trying to editorialize it

754
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:09,640
all the time.

755
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:10,640
Sure.

756
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:15,860
But it's that type of thing where you're like, okay, so how do I take the good parts of social

757
00:41:15,860 --> 00:41:21,320
media without it obviously just turning into Facebook for our people?

758
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:22,320
You know what I mean?

759
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:23,320
Yeah.

760
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:33,760
Well, I'm definitely in that category that stopped watching the news media probably 2013,

761
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,960
2014 really started to step away.

762
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:44,040
And then by the 2016 election was just completely out of it.

763
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,960
You know, just kind of saw the left was going to go one way.

764
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,160
The right was going to go another way.

765
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,600
There really was nothing in the middle.

766
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:51,600
Nope.

767
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,920
And so just kind of cut it out.

768
00:41:53,920 --> 00:42:01,440
And I guess to me, the therapy there to keep me sane has been the no agenda podcast.

769
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,400
They do media deconstruction.

770
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:08,640
So they pull this, they go with whatever's in the media and then pull those stories in

771
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:14,000
and then kind of dig in behind it and try to show, okay, so these guys are so, so they

772
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,880
are slanted this way and these guys are kind of slanted this way.

773
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:23,480
And you're at least getting some knowledge of what's going on in the world without getting

774
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:29,080
feeling like you're being indoctrinated or propaganda.

775
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:33,200
But then there are just sometimes that, you know, it's just such a wonderful thing to

776
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:38,480
just not listen, just shut it off.

777
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:39,920
Don't even think about it.

778
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:40,920
The world is mad.

779
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,200
Let the world be mad.

780
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:46,880
I'm just going to sit here in my own, in my own home with my family and I'm just going

781
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,440
to pretend that there's nothing else going on right now.

782
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,080
Cause I just want to turn my brain off.

783
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:54,080
Yeah.

784
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:59,920
But I recognize that you can't be an ostrich and just stick your head in the sand and just

785
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:02,400
act like there's nothing going on.

786
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:03,400
Right.

787
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:04,400
Yeah.

788
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:13,040
I mean, you can, but I don't know how effective that would be.

789
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:14,040
Yeah.

790
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:21,880
And then I guess the closest thing that I've seen to trying to help a person stay grounded

791
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:26,600
with the news is, have you heard of ground news?

792
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:33,900
As I'm saying, being grounded, it's ground.news and their whole schtick is they try to show

793
00:43:33,900 --> 00:43:37,160
you this particular story is left, right or center.

794
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,160
Okay.

795
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:42,780
So that you can kind of understand the bent behind a given story.

796
00:43:42,780 --> 00:43:45,240
And then you can say, I want to see only what's left.

797
00:43:45,240 --> 00:43:46,560
I want to only see what's right.

798
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,240
I want to only see what's center.

799
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:55,840
And it kind of gives the individual an ability to kind of cater what you see.

800
00:43:55,840 --> 00:44:02,920
And it can help you try to minimize some of that echo chamber.

801
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,880
Yeah.

802
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,200
Things like that though.

803
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:15,640
Like this is a way to make technology work for you in a way that's not, I feel like more

804
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,360
harmful than it is helpful.

805
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:18,360
Sure.

806
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,160
Cause that's what it seems like social media is now.

807
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:22,160
Absolutely.

808
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,120
Well, yeah, it's all because of the algorithm.

809
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,560
You know, the algorithm goes, oh, that gets you fired up.

810
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,480
I'm going to give you more of it.

811
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:31,480
Yeah.

812
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,800
And then tick tock is the opposite.

813
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,600
Tick tock is going, Oh, you like that?

814
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,240
I'm going to give you more of that.

815
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:43,440
So now you're getting echo chambered into in a completely different way, right?

816
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,600
Instead of having something thrown at you, that's constantly going to keep you worked

817
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,800
up and upset and angry.

818
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,800
They're going to pigeonhole you into this one thing.

819
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,000
And you're just going to see like everybody's like me.

820
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Right.

821
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,360
No, I only hear things that tickle my ears.

822
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:00,360
Correct.

823
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:01,640
That's the thing that I have to struggle with.

824
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:06,160
That's what makes the mastodon interesting again, because there's no algorithm.

825
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:07,160
Right.

826
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,240
And you can pick any of these instances to be a part of.

827
00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:14,840
You can hop around at any time and you then also have, and I don't recommend people do

828
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:23,520
this, but in your mastodon instance is the FETI stream, which is the live stream from

829
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:28,160
all mastodon instances that are federated together.

830
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:29,160
Really?

831
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:30,160
Yes.

832
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,640
So for your own insanity, don't go there.

833
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,720
For your own sanity, I should say.

834
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:35,720
For your own insanity.

835
00:45:35,720 --> 00:45:38,280
If you're looking for your insanity, I found it.

836
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,480
Yes, I found it.

837
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:40,660
Don't go there.

838
00:45:40,660 --> 00:45:47,040
And then just the sheer junk that people put out there.

839
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,360
It's out there.

840
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,720
So if you're going to go to mastodon, you can typically turn off that tab.

841
00:45:52,720 --> 00:45:53,720
Just turn it off.

842
00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:54,720
Just don't, just don't.

843
00:45:54,720 --> 00:45:55,720
Don't do it.

844
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:59,480
No, that's just like sticking your head in the sewer pipe and just seeing what comes

845
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:00,480
by.

846
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,480
Oh, it's bad.

847
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:03,920
Thank you for that visual.

848
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:04,920
Yes.

849
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:06,640
Don't drink it.

850
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:07,640
Dish soap.

851
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,640
That's what I'm drinking.

852
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:10,640
Yeah.

853
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,840
Oh, we both drink at the same time.

854
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:15,840
That's a no-no.

855
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:22,400
Well, the more I drink of it, it's not so bad.

856
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,880
Well yeah, that's kind of the nature of beer.

857
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:30,320
I mean, if I just drink a whole lot of this, then all of my senses are dulled.

858
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,560
I can't tell what's going on.

859
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:33,560
Yay.

860
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:34,560
No.

861
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,640
So, oh, what was that show?

862
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:42,200
Steven, one of my friends, Steven was one of our friends, Steven was telling me about

863
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:55,000
a show that these guys were, they had found or there was a science, scientific discovery

864
00:46:55,000 --> 00:47:01,520
or something like this, fictional obviously, that was talking about the human brain actually

865
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:10,880
is made to function at a higher alcohol content than like optimum level of alcohol content

866
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:15,360
is higher than what we normally think of.

867
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:23,600
So they all just try to maintain this certain level of blood alcohol, whatever.

868
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,720
They're trying to live like this, right?

869
00:47:25,720 --> 00:47:26,720
Wow.

870
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:34,120
And it's like, well, this guy who's depressive or whatever is having a much better time and

871
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:38,400
this guy is really creative where he didn't used to be and all this stuff.

872
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:44,960
And of course, the movie-ness of it is that it gets out of hand and all the consequences

873
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:45,960
and life.

874
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:50,160
Sounds like they're trying to become functional drugs.

875
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:51,160
Right.

876
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:52,160
Exactly.

877
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:59,320
I don't know if you know it, Steven, but I was, yeah, sorry, that reminded me.

878
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,800
I wish I knew the name of it.

879
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:03,800
Where are your friends?

880
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:08,960
If I was on mastodon with him right now, you could just text him.

881
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,560
Anyway, that's what we need.

882
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,440
We just need a huge group text that we just invite people to.

883
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,040
Well, that's- No, don't say it because then I got to watch

884
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:20,640
your green bubble all the time.

885
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:26,160
No, I wouldn't go in with the group text.

886
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:35,280
Some of what goes on with a lot of the podcasting 2.0 and I'm going to throw out a term and

887
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:39,080
it's going to be a throwback term, but it works.

888
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:40,880
IRC channel.

889
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,240
Do you remember those days?

890
00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:44,240
Wow.

891
00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:45,240
Yeah.

892
00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:46,240
I mean-

893
00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:47,240
Merck, anybody?

894
00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:52,840
Yeah, like what exactly is going on?

895
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:59,280
We would be having this conversation as we are now and we would have our own IRC channel

896
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:04,680
going that we could view and the people who in theory would be listening to us live, which

897
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:08,520
we haven't got to live yet, by the end of the year, I want to be alive.

898
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:13,280
I'm going to have to figure that out, but the idea is that we'd be having this conversation.

899
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:14,880
We'd be streaming live.

900
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,240
People will be listening to us.

901
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:22,240
They would be in that IRC channel and they could communicate with us in the show.

902
00:49:22,240 --> 00:49:25,280
They could totally just poke fun at us.

903
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,480
A bunch of losers getting drunk.

904
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:28,680
It's like Twitch right now.

905
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:29,680
Yeah, pretty much.

906
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:35,160
And so you have that, but you get that interaction with your listeners that makes the show hopefully

907
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:39,400
more engaging for not only for them, but also for us.

908
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:40,560
We're talking about something.

909
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,600
We're seeing them responding in near real time and we're seeing that they're actually

910
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,280
enjoying this or they're going, that's boring.

911
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:48,280
Would you move on?

912
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,680
I mean, why are you just reading the website to me?

913
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:52,680
Yeah.

914
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:53,680
Sorry.

915
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:54,680
Yeah.

916
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,200
So that something like that would come with going live.

917
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:03,440
But again, it's just another way of kind of, you're trying to build a community around

918
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,560
your show and what you're doing.

919
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:06,560
Right.

920
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,520
And that's just one more level of interaction.

921
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:14,840
I'm just saying we need that interaction.

922
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:15,840
Yeah.

923
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:19,480
I think we need actual interaction and we got to do it in a way.

924
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,800
I like the idea.

925
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:26,240
I guess part of the reason that I like the idea of doing something where it is the people

926
00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:29,280
that it's not, it's not everyone from every whatever.

927
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,960
And you know, Bob, who, you know, nobody actually knows because he's somebody's friend who is

928
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,480
somebody's friend, who's somebody that, you know,

929
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:37,480
Bill Braskey.

930
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,640
Bill Braskey was a real son of a.

931
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:46,060
So but it was that like, it's the idea that when you've, when you've met somebody face

932
00:50:46,060 --> 00:50:50,280
to face, when you like, if you, especially if you limited to the people that are in the

933
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,680
same town as you, I could run into this guy.

934
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:54,680
Yeah.

935
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,160
I better watch what I'm saying.

936
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:57,160
Yes.

937
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:01,200
Like you lower the, you know, take a little bit of that bass out of his voice.

938
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,200
You know what I'm saying?

939
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:08,080
Don't, don't, nope, you don't, nope.

940
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:09,080
Yeah.

941
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:14,560
Anyway, that was funny to stumble over there for a little bit.

942
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,280
But yeah, it's just a thing.

943
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:26,280
It's something worth thinking about and trying to, you know, as we're all managing our, how

944
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:31,560
much we're investing in technology in one way or the other, we got to, we got to look

945
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:32,560
at that.

946
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:38,880
One of the things that I loved about, um, audio Sigma is how little it asks of you to

947
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:44,560
invest in order to get something that you really want or really could use.

948
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:45,640
Yes.

949
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,760
I wish more technology was that way.

950
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:49,760
Absolutely.

951
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:55,400
So we're thinking about anyway, we don't have any boosts.

952
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:56,400
Do we?

953
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:57,400
Uh, actually we do.

954
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:58,400
Okay.

955
00:51:58,400 --> 00:51:59,400
Believe it or not.

956
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:00,400
What's up, Jason?

957
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,000
Uh, yes, exactly.

958
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:07,880
So he and I, and we kind of mentioned this too on the, on a previous show, John, the

959
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,960
Albie apocalypse and kind of what that meant and where are we going to be able to get boost

960
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,200
in or not and what that means.

961
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,000
So he did the test boost.

962
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Okay.

963
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,800
Uh, a hundred sats from Jason and it just says test boost.

964
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,160
Hey, it worked.

965
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:25,160
It did work.

966
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:26,160
Yes.

967
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:27,160
So that was good to see.

968
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:28,160
Thanks, Jason.

969
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:29,160
Yes.

970
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:30,160
And then he followed up with one more.

971
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:31,160
Okay.

972
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:35,640
So he's got a podcast and his message is sorry about the mystery beers, John, I didn't care

973
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,120
for either of them either.

974
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,480
Hey, you got to talk more about the beer.

975
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,920
Oh my gosh.

976
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:47,520
So come to find out he'd never had either of those himself either.

977
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:52,200
Hey Jason, I don't know if you've been listening to this podcast, but can I, can I recommend

978
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:58,400
a founders logger to you as payback?

979
00:52:58,400 --> 00:52:59,680
Yes.

980
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:04,800
So, um, I would agree with him.

981
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,320
The oatmeal stout was better than the solace.

982
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:08,320
Yeah.

983
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:09,800
The solace was just rough.

984
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:10,800
Yeah.

985
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,640
But the oatmeal stout was definitely better.

986
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,720
I mean, yeah, it was better, but like, holy cow.

987
00:53:16,720 --> 00:53:23,360
I mean, it just, I, again, I don't, it's not, it's not, um, I don't know.

988
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:24,640
I don't have words for it.

989
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:31,200
Um, it's like you are thinking that you're biting into a nice loaf of sourdough bread

990
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,600
and it ends up being raisin bread or something.

991
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:35,600
There you go.

992
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:36,600
Yeah.

993
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:41,240
Or, you know, you think you're going to drink a darker pepper and it's sweet tea.

994
00:53:41,240 --> 00:53:42,240
Gross.

995
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:44,640
Oh yeah.

996
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,640
The brain recoils in horror.

997
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,200
Yuck.

998
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,360
Um, anyway, thanks Jason.

999
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:53,360
I really appreciate you.

1000
00:53:53,360 --> 00:54:01,440
Remind me to buy you a beer of my least favorite beer sometime.

1001
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,000
Get that man an old Rasputin.

1002
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:05,000
Yeah.

1003
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,600
But we definitely talked about that beer.

1004
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,080
Yeah, we definitely talked about that.

1005
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,320
Most mentioned beer on our podcast is a beer that we hate.

1006
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:13,840
Uh, yeah.

1007
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:14,840
That's hilarious.

1008
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:15,840
Yeah.

1009
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,000
I do have one piece of gear to throw at you real quick.

1010
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:19,000
Okay, throw it to me.

1011
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,000
You may look at.

1012
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Yeah.

1013
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,000
I got my computer right here.

1014
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:23,720
I'm going to look it up.

1015
00:54:23,720 --> 00:54:24,720
Yes.

1016
00:54:24,720 --> 00:54:27,720
The personas quantum.

1017
00:54:27,720 --> 00:54:30,600
E S two.

1018
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:31,600
Okay.

1019
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:36,680
Don't, don't try to tell me what I'm going to write.

1020
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,200
So be thinking pod mobile.

1021
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:41,200
Yeah.

1022
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:42,200
I see the E S four.

1023
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,160
I see the E S two.

1024
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:45,160
Yes.

1025
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:46,160
Okay.

1026
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:50,000
Particularly for me, it's the E S two.

1027
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Okay.

1028
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,400
USB C interface.

1029
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:54,400
Yeah.

1030
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:59,920
Which is, I mean, I was expecting this to catch on faster than it has with the audio

1031
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:00,920
interface world.

1032
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:09,280
I'm like, guys, I'm, if you, if someone else puts a USB B on one of these audio interfaces,

1033
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,320
I'm going to lose my mind.

1034
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,360
I'm looking at you, Berenger.

1035
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:14,360
Stop it.

1036
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:15,360
Yep.

1037
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,960
Guys, it's just not, it's not funny anymore.

1038
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:19,320
I don't know if it was somebody's joke.

1039
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,240
Put it on there as a joke.

1040
00:55:21,240 --> 00:55:22,400
It's going out like that.

1041
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:23,400
Yep.

1042
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:24,400
Stop it.

1043
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:29,480
Anyway, so I would put this essentially in the same range as the pod mobile, just because

1044
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,720
you can do two XLR mics.

1045
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:43,440
You can leverage the USB C. You've got your quarter inch out for your monitor.

1046
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:47,120
It doesn't have some of the DSP features of the pod mobile.

1047
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:48,120
What's the auto?

1048
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:49,400
Is that like auto gaining?

1049
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:50,400
Yes.

1050
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,920
When you would plug in your mic and you'd start talking and you would press auto and

1051
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,760
it will auto adjust for you.

1052
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:57,760
I mean, that's great.

1053
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:05,920
Don't get me wrong, but I would expect, I guess I shouldn't expect to get more for $200,

1054
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,920
but I kind of was, I would hope for more.

1055
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:13,320
And it's not just honestly, I'm looking at this very quickly.

1056
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,280
It's not just two inputs.

1057
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:17,280
There is a...

1058
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:18,280
You have an instrument in on the front.

1059
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:19,280
You have an instrument in on the front.

1060
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:20,280
Yes, that's correct.

1061
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:24,080
Instead of a, it's not headphones on both of those.

1062
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,160
One of them is an instrument in.

1063
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,680
So I wonder if you can do three at a time or if it's like, you can do two at a time,

1064
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,320
but you can plug into the front if you really want to.

1065
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,000
I don't know.

1066
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:38,360
These are all questions that are rolling around in my head.

1067
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,760
So they've got the quantum audio interfaces.

1068
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:46,760
They have a two, a four.

1069
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:47,760
Then you go to HD.

1070
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:48,760
Yeah.

1071
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:49,760
HD two and HD eight.

1072
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:50,760
Is that what I'm seeing?

1073
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:57,760
I thought it was the eight and 16.

1074
00:56:57,760 --> 00:56:58,760
Quantum.

1075
00:56:58,760 --> 00:56:59,760
Yeah.

1076
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,760
HD eight and HD...

1077
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:10,080
Oh, there's a 26 by 26.

1078
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:11,080
Yeah.

1079
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,120
There's the HD.

1080
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:14,120
Holy cow.

1081
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:15,120
No, I guess it is.

1082
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:16,120
You're right.

1083
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,680
It's the HD two and then it is the HD eight.

1084
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:24,160
The eight is the rack mount, but the eight has the...

1085
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,560
Oh, where is it?

1086
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:29,760
It's on the back.

1087
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:30,760
Sorry.

1088
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,960
I walked over to the quantum 2626.

1089
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:36,640
Oh.

1090
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:40,440
Which is 26 in, 26 out.

1091
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,160
Just give me a minute.

1092
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,080
I gotta look over this thing real quick.

1093
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:47,080
Stop showing me the front.

1094
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:48,080
Okay.

1095
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:52,040
And it says 26 out.

1096
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,480
It's not actual hard line.

1097
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:54,480
Oh, okay.

1098
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,480
They're doing that with optical.

1099
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,920
Where are you seeing the 26?

1100
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:01,240
Oh, there it is.

1101
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:02,240
I see it now.

1102
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:03,840
I see it.

1103
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,160
So that looks like that would go up against the...

1104
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:11,640
Is it the Claret?

1105
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:16,000
There's a few of them.

1106
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:22,480
I'm more interested in how they're getting that number right now.

1107
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:32,880
But anyway, Presonus has a lot of gear that I would say is that...

1108
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,400
Can I say prosumer without it sounding condescending?

1109
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:36,400
Yeah.

1110
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:37,400
I cannot make this gear.

1111
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:39,960
So I always feel like, listen, I'm sorry.

1112
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:44,000
I'm not trying to offend anyone with the whatever.

1113
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:53,800
It's not like if I'm specking out something that I really need it to be top of the line,

1114
00:58:53,800 --> 00:59:00,960
you just like, let's know who we are, Presonus, Behringer, whatever else.

1115
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:05,280
They're not in the same conversation as Digico.

1116
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,760
But still really useful.

1117
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:12,980
And when you're looking at things like audio interfaces where you're like, I need this

1118
00:59:12,980 --> 00:59:17,120
to be reliable, I feel like it does a great job.

1119
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:23,680
So yeah, I think for $200, that's a great find.

1120
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:24,680
Good job.

1121
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:31,040
And the one other bonus on this, if you use their Studio One DAW, you can control the

1122
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:32,960
interface directly from the DAW.

1123
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:33,960
Oh, nice.

1124
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:38,760
So there's some really nice integration that they're kind of putting together there.

1125
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:44,800
Yeah, the more these companies get on this understanding of like, if you're plugging

1126
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:49,280
it into a computer, it needs to be able to interface well.

1127
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:52,800
I'm all about it.

1128
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:56,080
Rode looking at you.

1129
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,120
You've got Rode Central, man.

1130
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,200
Yeah, I'm not saying that they're not trying to fix the problem.

1131
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:08,080
I'm saying you've got some great gear.

1132
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:09,880
Let's focus on the Kinks.

1133
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:10,880
Yeah.

1134
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:11,880
Come on, Australia.

1135
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:12,880
They're Aussies.

1136
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:21,600
Which is surprising with Blackmagic because, you know, the notorious like, hey, if you

1137
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:25,440
buy a Blackmagic piece of gear, you need to buy a fan to go with it.

1138
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:31,600
You would expect a country that is, again, much like Texas, stereotyped as being in the

1139
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:32,600
desert.

1140
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:33,600
Yep.

1141
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:40,920
But can you, why in the world would you not have an air conditioner running on this air

1142
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:41,920
conditioner?

1143
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:45,000
You need to work on your cooling system.

1144
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:50,880
Yes, their ventilation definitely leaves you wanting.

1145
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:51,880
Did I tell you about that?

1146
01:00:51,880 --> 01:01:02,320
We got a new, we bought a switcher for one of our rooms to replace.

1147
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,040
We had an old analog way that was awesome.

1148
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:06,040
Loved that thing.

1149
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,040
It finally died.

1150
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:12,720
And we bought a Blackmagic piece of gear to replace it.

1151
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:17,160
And Chad's first question to me was, did you buy a fan?

1152
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,040
And my answer to him was, I bought two.

1153
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,000
I bought two.

1154
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:24,000
Can't have this thing going on.

1155
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,120
So there's an intake and an outtake.

1156
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:30,200
There's an intake and an exhaust.

1157
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:35,000
On our little rack now because we've got a Blackmagic piece of gear running in it.

1158
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,800
If you know what we're talking about, let us know.

1159
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:38,800
Yes.

1160
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:43,600
If you don't know what we're talking about, you've never bought Blackmagic before.

1161
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:44,600
That's true.

1162
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,600
All right.

1163
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:48,600
That's all I got.

1164
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:49,600
All right.

1165
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:50,600
I enjoyed it.

1166
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:51,600
Yeah.

1167
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:52,600
Thanks for the free beer.

1168
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:53,600
Yes.

1169
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:54,600
Thank you, David and Wayne.

1170
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:55,600
Appreciate you guys.

1171
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:56,600
Absolutely.

1172
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:57,600
All right.

1173
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:58,600
See you.

1174
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:19,600
Cheers.

1175
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,100
This is a beautiful pie, my friends.

1176
01:02:22,100 --> 01:02:24,860
Look at this.

1177
01:02:24,860 --> 01:02:25,860
Look at this.

1178
01:02:25,860 --> 01:02:28,640
They're going to say, how many times is he going to say that?

1179
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,960
But really, look at this.

1180
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:31,960
I just said it again.

1181
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:32,960
Look at this.

1182
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:34,760
Is that gorgeous or what?

1183
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:35,760
I love my life.

1184
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:41,400
A pound of saffron is like two or $3,000 and you can't even smoke this stuff.

1185
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,080
Look at it.

1186
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:45,080
Everybody thinks they're part of the olive.

1187
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,280
They have nothing to do with olive.

1188
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:54,840
The capers is a flower bud of the caper bush, which means if allowed to grow, it becomes

1189
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,080
a nice whole white flower.

1190
01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:01,360
You know, I always say, what were they smoking when they come up with the idea of capers?

1191
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:06,080
Hey, before it becomes a flower, let's take it and let's put it in the brine so we can

1192
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:07,080
eat it three months from now.

1193
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:11,680
They have to be smoking something strange to come up with that idea, right?

1194
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:13,680
Then you have to, then you'll have too much.

1195
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:14,680
Yeah.

1196
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:15,680
If you put too much, you'll have too much.

1197
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:20,880
I'm glad you came to my channel because I give you a scientific facts.

1198
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,120
If you put too much, you'll have too much.

1199
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,000
Now, if you put too much, you'll be too thick.

1200
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,920
If it's too thick, no good either.

1201
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,280
I got a little camera in here.

1202
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,760
It's full of grease from the meat.

1203
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:38,280
Normally, I got a little camera, one of the Osmo packets, but we cooked it this morning.

1204
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:39,280
We forgot it.

1205
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:40,280
We put it in the oven.

1206
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,000
It's made by the company called Crap.

1207
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,880
Oh, no, no, Craft.

1208
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,800
Every mistake you can make in the kitchen, I made them, okay?

1209
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,440
And some, okay?

1210
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,240
And sometimes more than one time.

1211
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:53,240
Sometimes I wonder.

1212
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,720
It all depends on what is it I have in my coffee.

1213
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:58,280
Put the water in there, and that's all you need.

1214
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,600
Don't be out there putting some oil in the water, okay?

1215
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:01,600
You need like this.

1216
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,080
They'll shoot you if you do that.

1217
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:06,080
Talking about a whisk.

1218
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:07,080
Size matters.

1219
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:09,720
Mamma mia, look at this thing.

1220
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:10,720
And I turned my heat off.

1221
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,080
Well, how do you like that?

1222
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:14,080
Not a good idea.

1223
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:16,900
While you're cooking, do not turn the heat off.

1224
01:04:16,900 --> 01:04:18,480
And I haven't drink anything.

1225
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:22,000
And then we're going to make the bracing container right here.

1226
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:23,920
Just checking to make sure it's hot enough.

1227
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:28,520
Now for those of you who think my accent is a fake accent, it's not.

1228
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,640
Okay, I'm half French and half Italian.

1229
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:31,640
All right?

1230
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:33,320
But now I'm 100% American.

1231
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:34,320
God bless America.

1232
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:35,760
God bless the rest of the world.

1233
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:54,780
We'll be reading!
