WEBVTT 00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:33.600 Hey Chris, how you doing? Good, how you doing 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:40.259 John? I'm so tired. Like I feel, okay, so full 00:00:40.259 --> 00:00:43.179 disclosure, I always feel a little bit silly 00:00:43.179 --> 00:00:48.200 telling anybody who works at camp in late May, 00:00:48.340 --> 00:00:51.299 early June that I'm tired because I remember 00:00:51.299 --> 00:00:58.600 what that was like. But I feel like this May 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:08.090 has been the closest to summer camp may that 00:01:08.090 --> 00:01:11.349 I've had since I left. And maybe it's just because 00:01:11.349 --> 00:01:15.310 after this, especially this Easter, I kind of 00:01:15.310 --> 00:01:18.590 expected things to calm down and they just haven't 00:01:18.590 --> 00:01:21.189 like they've there, there has been no zero chill 00:01:21.189 --> 00:01:25.030 at all. And it kind of feels like it's getting 00:01:25.030 --> 00:01:28.549 crazier. which is just really disconcerting. 00:01:29.750 --> 00:01:32.890 Is that just more just like obviously growth 00:01:32.890 --> 00:01:36.769 in the church that's driving that? No, I can't 00:01:36.769 --> 00:01:40.010 put my finger on it this year. Okay. It's not 00:01:40.010 --> 00:01:43.689 one thing. And, you know, some of it's at home 00:01:43.689 --> 00:01:47.230 too, like Cade's baseball season felt like it 00:01:47.230 --> 00:01:51.959 went longer. He made it to the playoffs and stuff 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:53.659 like that. So everything just kind of feels a 00:01:53.659 --> 00:01:57.359 little bit like, what just happened? But, I mean, 00:01:57.379 --> 00:02:01.200 that's partially, at least from my perspective, 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.760 why this one's coming out late. Yes. We missed 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.039 a cycle, but that's okay. It was not intentional. 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:13.759 No. We did have every intention of making this 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.080 happen, and that did not happen. But we're back 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.250 now. Back now. Don't know what we're going to 00:02:19.250 --> 00:02:21.050 discuss tonight, but here we go. Not at all, 00:02:21.090 --> 00:02:27.090 but it's going to be great. Yes. My beer is being 00:02:27.090 --> 00:02:30.590 held hostage in a meeting right now. Yes. So 00:02:30.590 --> 00:02:34.090 what are we drinking, Chris? I did a pick six. 00:02:34.270 --> 00:02:38.150 Nice. Grabbed some different ones. We have the 00:02:38.150 --> 00:02:42.330 Tufts Backyard Bock. Okay. Never had that one 00:02:42.330 --> 00:02:46.840 personally. Sounds good. 903 Brewing. Their German 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.080 -style Bach. Oh, I really like that one. The 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:50.840 Sherman Bach, as they call it. Sherman Bach. 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:59.659 Then we have the Black Matter, brewed by Manhattan 00:02:59.659 --> 00:03:03.199 Project. It is a coffee stout. I've seen a lot 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.780 of the Manhattan Project ones, but I've actually 00:03:05.780 --> 00:03:09.800 never had one. So I got two of those in the coffee 00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:14.219 stout, and then I found a Fiesta Familiar. Or 00:03:14.219 --> 00:03:15.699 however that's supposed to be pronounced, dark 00:03:15.699 --> 00:03:20.659 lager. So it's like a Mexican dark lager? Maybe. 00:03:20.939 --> 00:03:25.340 I mean, it's Fiesta. It feels like it. And then 00:03:25.340 --> 00:03:27.360 I got this one for you just because I knew. No, 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:28.960 that's the other dark matter. It's this one. 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.740 I knew that if nothing else, you would love to 00:03:31.740 --> 00:03:35.300 have this one. Old Chub. Old Chub, baby. Oh, 00:03:35.300 --> 00:03:39.639 man, it's so good. But there are two of that 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:45.240 coffee stout as well. So. You got to pick. It's 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.860 your six pack. Well, I'm going to lead with the 00:03:47.860 --> 00:03:50.139 coffee stout because I want to try that. Okay, 00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:52.520 so maybe we should both do the coffee stout. 00:03:52.659 --> 00:03:56.659 Okay. And then like. Mid -show transition to 00:03:56.659 --> 00:03:59.479 something else. Yeah. There you go. That works. 00:03:59.659 --> 00:04:03.060 That way we get a true discussion of the beer. 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.780 Of the beer, yes. You ready? Let's go. Yeah. 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:13.740 That was nice. It smells delicious. It really 00:04:13.740 --> 00:04:19.480 does. You got a blurb for me here, guys? Oh, 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.680 you're going to like that. Pairs well with warm 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:27.519 fire, ribeye, and ice cream. I'll take all three. 00:04:28.779 --> 00:04:34.639 Wow. I have old man eyes tonight, apparently. 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.199 I got you. I got you. From the first encounter 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:42.790 of the aroma to the finish. I can vouch for the 00:04:42.790 --> 00:04:44.509 first part, at least. The coffee is evident, 00:04:44.689 --> 00:04:48.730 but not so much that it is overpowering. As the 00:04:48.730 --> 00:04:52.689 beer warms, you will discover chocolate. Discover, 00:04:52.889 --> 00:04:56.310 really? Chocolate, cinnamon, and even a touch 00:04:56.310 --> 00:05:01.209 of vanilla in both the flavor and the nose. It 00:05:01.209 --> 00:05:04.389 has a full, silky body with medium carbonation. 00:05:05.850 --> 00:05:08.189 There's plenty of times that I'm like, oh, what 00:05:08.189 --> 00:05:10.610 exactly are we describing here? Yes, all right. 00:05:13.069 --> 00:05:16.730 So I definitely like it. It's hard for me to 00:05:16.730 --> 00:05:21.850 imagine drinking this with a ribeye. Maybe that's 00:05:21.850 --> 00:05:24.949 just because I don't think I've had anything 00:05:24.949 --> 00:05:28.470 this dark with a ribeye. Oh, I have. Have you? 00:05:28.750 --> 00:05:32.990 Yes. If I'm eating a ribeye, I'm not usually 00:05:32.990 --> 00:05:35.639 thinking about what I'm drinking. Well, but if 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.540 I'm drinking beer with anything, I'm probably 00:05:38.540 --> 00:05:40.019 going to be drinking a dark beer. So that's just 00:05:40.019 --> 00:05:43.839 the nature of it for me. There you go. So I'm 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:45.699 more, I'm more like in the Shiner Bach range 00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:48.519 with, with eating something. That's about as 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.879 light as I like to go anymore. Anything lighter 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.540 than that color. And I'm just total beer snob. 00:05:55.579 --> 00:05:58.600 No, that's really good. Black matter. Okay. Black 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.379 matter by the Manhattan project beer company. 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.819 They, they have my, vote there that's a good 00:06:05.819 --> 00:06:10.600 one um it's an 8 .6 i'm not getting chocolate 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.600 at least not yet i think i think like they said 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.560 it needs to get warmer and then you'll be able 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:19.759 to taste the chocolate okay and i do think it's 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:21.600 going to be more like a dark chocolate judging 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:26.040 by what i'm tasting slightly on the sides of 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.660 my tongue so don't think like hershey bar no 00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:35.680 no no think uh The like expensive chocolate that 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.500 you put salt on and stuff. One of my sisters 00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:45.019 really likes dark chocolate with salt. I mean, 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.360 I can appreciate that it's good. It's just not 00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.639 my favorite. Correct. But actually, this is pretty 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.879 good. It's out of Dallas, Texas. Yeah, I'm really... 00:06:55.879 --> 00:07:00.879 I may have to try more of their stuff. Yeah, 00:07:00.899 --> 00:07:03.199 just saw this one, just noticed that it was a 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.839 stout, and it's like, all right, I'm willing 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:10.759 to give it a shot. I'm always open for more stouts. 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:16.519 But it is good. It's not heavy on the bitter. 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.639 Not heavy on the bitter. There's not any weird 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:23.779 tastes or aromas to it. Nope. It just kind of 00:07:23.779 --> 00:07:29.399 is what it is, and I can appreciate that. I got 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.939 some coffee on that one. Yeah. Not bad, though. 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.160 I'm not normally a coffee drinker. No, you're 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:37.699 not. No. You're a Dr. Pepper drinker. Dr. Pepper, 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:39.720 you better believe it. Man after my own heart. 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:44.540 Yes. I would have no problem recommending this. 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.199 This is pretty good. I really like this. Yeah. 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:51.240 The main thing was staying away from those Russian 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:55.480 imperial stamps. Oh, my gosh. Don't. What I was 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.920 hoping to find. is the one that i've had at bernard's 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:02.180 was that that kentucky uh bourbon barrel aged 00:08:02.180 --> 00:08:05.379 and every everybody says oh yeah i always see 00:08:05.379 --> 00:08:07.019 it fresh all the time in the pick six section 00:08:07.019 --> 00:08:10.699 every time i go it's never there that's what 00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:12.439 i was really hoping to bring tonight was a couple 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:16.019 of those right because that one is amazing kentucky 00:08:16.019 --> 00:08:20.399 burble burble burble burble i had no we're not 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.170 even partially into the can man okay That is 00:08:24.170 --> 00:08:29.290 not what that is. I'm super tired. In fact, I'm 00:08:29.290 --> 00:08:31.209 kind of fighting a headache, but hopefully the 00:08:31.209 --> 00:08:34.210 beer will calm down my scalp. Smooth that out. 00:08:34.470 --> 00:08:40.169 There you go. Yeah. Wow, that's really good. 00:08:40.370 --> 00:08:43.889 It is. I'm going to have to write that one down. 00:08:44.730 --> 00:08:48.490 Take a picture of it. They have apps for this, 00:08:48.509 --> 00:08:50.309 evidently. Yeah, you're supposed to do all the 00:08:50.309 --> 00:08:52.809 social media for us, man, right? I hate you. 00:08:54.939 --> 00:08:58.559 I keep asking Tori every now and then to be like, 00:08:58.659 --> 00:09:05.700 hey, you're going to cheese. Picture in the middle 00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:07.519 of the show. You're in the background. Okay. 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.799 No big deal. So I keep asking her from time to 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:12.620 time. I'm like, okay, are you ready to do social 00:09:12.620 --> 00:09:17.320 media for the show? No. Why not? I want my own. 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.740 It's like, hey, you got to start somewhere. you're 00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:27.059 you're missing the point here yes girly yes yes 00:09:27.059 --> 00:09:36.279 um yeah no i i i hate um spending more time on 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.860 it there's plenty of time when it's like okay 00:09:38.860 --> 00:09:41.539 well i have to have to be here for this or that 00:09:41.539 --> 00:09:48.039 or whatever and uh i don't know man like it it's 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:51.080 just not as beneficial as i think I thought it 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.700 was going to be when I was younger. You know, 00:09:53.740 --> 00:09:55.799 everybody was like, oh, you're going to be able 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.879 to keep up with everybody and blah, blah, blah, 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.519 blah. No. That's not what happens. No. You just 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:11.100 fart around all day. Don't forget the fiesta. 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.399 Fiesta. I'm trying to get the labels in this. 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:19.759 We're having a little. What do you call these? 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:23.100 Photo shoot. There you go. Over here. Photo op. 00:10:23.139 --> 00:10:28.440 While we're talking. So what has your month been 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:32.600 like? A little bit scared to even ask. I'll photo 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:36.940 bomb you. Photo bomb in the cans. It's obviously 00:10:36.940 --> 00:10:42.700 been crazy with camp starting up. It's that way 00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:45.039 every year. It doesn't matter how early you start. 00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:48.809 Yeah. Everything just hits. All at once and you 00:10:48.809 --> 00:10:52.029 just go, go, go, go, go. Can't really even. I 00:10:52.029 --> 00:10:55.289 would say overall so far for this being the first 00:10:55.289 --> 00:11:00.850 week, it's been quieter than I expected. Okay. 00:11:01.450 --> 00:11:04.269 Usually week one, you're working all the cobwebs 00:11:04.269 --> 00:11:07.289 out. People are learning systems and you're just. 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.820 putting out fires yeah a lot of a lot of user 00:11:10.820 --> 00:11:13.940 error yes so that was monday but since then it 00:11:13.940 --> 00:11:18.659 is really tapered off nice so i'm like okay is 00:11:18.659 --> 00:11:22.399 this the calm before the storm or are we actually 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.379 going to have a quiet start to summer for once 00:11:25.379 --> 00:11:29.019 because i've never truly had a quiet week one 00:11:29.019 --> 00:11:32.600 before yeah i mean that's and you just always 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:34.480 expect week one to be a little crazy and then 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.139 Around week two or three is when some natural 00:11:37.139 --> 00:11:40.200 disaster kills everything. And you're like, okay, 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:43.460 now here we go. That was last summer. Week two 00:11:43.460 --> 00:11:45.360 is when all those big storms came through and 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.340 took out all the power. And we had multiple camps 00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:50.580 that were down for days on end. And they were 00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:53.080 running generators trying to keep dining halls 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:57.940 going. It's terrifying. I think we're off and 00:11:57.940 --> 00:12:04.860 running well. Ethan started May 12th. So he's 00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:07.360 kind of got a few weeks under his belt now. This 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.700 is his first week of summer as a full -time staff. 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:14.120 Good. Yeah, coming out of the Forge. Yeah, was 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.340 he a summer staffer before the Forge? Yes, I 00:12:17.340 --> 00:12:19.220 know he was at the Timbers, and he may have been 00:12:19.220 --> 00:12:23.360 someplace else. Okay. So it's good to have him. 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.759 We've got a full team again. I think he's going 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:31.440 to be on the worship team here. Okay, yeah. So 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.610 that's fun. Absolutely. How often he's going 00:12:34.610 --> 00:12:37.370 to get to and work the pants off of him probably. 00:12:37.690 --> 00:12:42.149 Yeah. Does he know what he's doing? He does. 00:12:42.309 --> 00:12:44.490 He does. His background is more in software. 00:12:44.490 --> 00:12:45.850 Are you saying that because he might be listening? 00:12:46.070 --> 00:12:48.929 No, no, no, no, no. No, his background is more 00:12:48.929 --> 00:12:52.070 software development. Okay. But he has that mind 00:12:52.070 --> 00:12:55.950 for troubleshooting. Yes. And so right now he's 00:12:55.950 --> 00:12:58.269 very much a sponge. Yeah. And soaking it all 00:12:58.269 --> 00:13:00.669 up. Next week we'll really kind of dig in heavy 00:13:00.669 --> 00:13:04.559 on training. But there's been several things 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:06.159 he's been able to kind of come along and observe 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.080 and, you know, just kind of watch and ask questions. 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.200 And there's been training opportunities there, 00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:14.659 but nothing like it will be next week when we 00:13:14.659 --> 00:13:16.519 actually sit down and go, okay, this is what 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.360 this is. This is what this is. This is how this 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.519 works. And really just kind of start to pour 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.820 that into him. I like it. So, and then beyond 00:13:24.820 --> 00:13:31.220 that, this past Monday, my brother's oldest daughter 00:13:31.220 --> 00:13:35.320 got married. Yeah, kind of crazy to think, but 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.919 her now husband is going into the Air Force, 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:41.940 and that's kind of what sped things up. They 00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:46.480 had to be legally married by a certain date so 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:51.240 that once he came out of basic, she could move 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:55.259 and be on base with him. So they got legally 00:13:55.259 --> 00:13:59.269 married. to cover that for the government. Yep. 00:13:59.289 --> 00:14:02.049 But then Monday was the actual, um, wedding, 00:14:02.110 --> 00:14:04.830 wedding, wedding, uh, went really well. Uh, I'll 00:14:04.830 --> 00:14:06.649 have to show you the video after the show of 00:14:06.649 --> 00:14:10.370 Garrett. They had him be the flower guy. Oh, 00:14:10.549 --> 00:14:13.990 that is so sweet. Fanny pack and all. Oh my gosh. 00:14:14.129 --> 00:14:18.230 Yeah. So, uh, I'll, I'll show you that, uh, him 00:14:18.230 --> 00:14:21.190 and, uh, Brayden who Maddie, Mary, they've got 00:14:21.190 --> 00:14:23.370 a really cool relationship to see those two guys. 00:14:23.830 --> 00:14:28.639 Um, they kind of bring out the, uh, and the, 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:33.700 I would say idiot, but that sounds a little harsh. 00:14:33.820 --> 00:14:35.100 No, I know exactly what you're talking about. 00:14:35.100 --> 00:14:36.600 But it's idiot in a good way. Absolutely. Between 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:41.139 two guys. Young men, idiots. Yes, yes. So they 00:14:41.139 --> 00:14:44.879 refer to themselves as being a bromance and that 00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:48.200 Maddie is the side piece. Oh, wow. Okay, okay. 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:54.220 It's like, all right, guys. But they have a really 00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:58.200 good time. I love seeing that. They get to have 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:03.279 that kind of an interaction. But yeah, eventually, 00:15:03.580 --> 00:15:07.480 so I think he's going to San Antonio for BASIC, 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.860 and then he's then shipping off to, I think, 00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:16.500 Pensacola to do his training for cybersecurity. 00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:21.139 Nice. So if he can stay the course and he gets 00:15:21.139 --> 00:15:24.059 done, when he gets out of the military, there's 00:15:24.059 --> 00:15:26.460 a lot of open doors for him in that line of work. 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.500 Yeah. Cause he'll come with security clearance 00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:32.320 already and can just step right in. I mean, in 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.759 a big way. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Like that's really 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.799 sought after. So I, I'm well done. Yes. I'm, 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:41.759 I'm excited for him and for Maddie. Well done. 00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:44.799 So, um, so I know it'll probably be a little 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.860 difficult that you get, I think they have a week 00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:49.820 and a half together before he has to leave for 00:15:49.820 --> 00:15:54.539 basic. So be a little, A little bit of a tough 00:15:54.539 --> 00:15:57.039 spell there with being separated and minimal 00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:00.059 interaction. But as soon as it's over, they'll 00:16:00.059 --> 00:16:03.919 be off to Florida. Which does not sound bad. 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:08.000 No, no. Go rough it in Pensacola. It's fine. 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:12.399 Yes. I'm getting trained on the beach. There 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.159 you go. Beyond that, the only other thing, and 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:17.860 I know we talked about a little bit in texting 00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:20.120 back and forth, was the water incident in the 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:24.860 home. I mean. Chris. So carpets still pulled 00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:26.440 up in the two rooms. We're looking at different 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.700 flooring options. Okay. At this point, I got 00:16:30.700 --> 00:16:32.720 to believe that the shower curtain was just done 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.419 wrong. There's nothing else. Because I cannot 00:16:34.419 --> 00:16:37.779 reproduce it. Oh, nice. I turn it on and just 00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:41.720 put the toilet lid down and just kind of just 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.539 sit there like Johnny Bench watching and waiting 00:16:44.539 --> 00:16:49.059 and nothing. So I just got to believe that somehow 00:16:49.059 --> 00:16:52.370 the curtain didn't get done right. And all that 00:16:52.370 --> 00:16:55.429 water made its way out. And it was a ton of water. 00:16:56.230 --> 00:17:01.830 Ton of water. So, but that's been my maze so 00:17:01.830 --> 00:17:05.029 far. Yeah, that's so hard to wrap your head around. 00:17:05.430 --> 00:17:08.410 But again, if it's a ton of water, then it has 00:17:08.410 --> 00:17:11.470 to happen again if it's not something like that. 00:17:11.549 --> 00:17:13.069 You know what I mean? Yeah, if it had been a 00:17:13.069 --> 00:17:15.789 busted drain or if it had been a busted freshwater 00:17:15.789 --> 00:17:18.430 line, as soon as you turn it back on and you've 00:17:18.430 --> 00:17:22.369 got it running, you'd see it right away. Yeah. 00:17:22.450 --> 00:17:26.349 So that's not fun at all, but I'm also grateful 00:17:26.349 --> 00:17:28.829 that it's not something else. Yes, absolutely. 00:17:29.529 --> 00:17:31.970 Good. I'm sitting there going, all right, if 00:17:31.970 --> 00:17:33.930 it's a busted drain, they've got to rip this 00:17:33.930 --> 00:17:36.849 bathtub out. They've got to probably tear up 00:17:36.849 --> 00:17:40.289 the concrete and get into all that. And it's 00:17:40.289 --> 00:17:42.789 like, okay, if it's in the pecs, I got to rip 00:17:42.789 --> 00:17:46.190 my wall apart. Yeah. Just like none of this sounds 00:17:46.190 --> 00:17:49.329 good. No. So I guess at this point we kind of 00:17:49.329 --> 00:17:51.990 got the. best option we'd wanted to replace the 00:17:51.990 --> 00:17:54.549 carpet in those rooms anyways right but we didn't 00:17:54.549 --> 00:17:57.990 intend for it to be this way i don't i want to 00:17:57.990 --> 00:18:01.549 replace the carpet i don't want to need to replace 00:18:01.549 --> 00:18:06.210 correct correct want to need to um yeah no that's 00:18:06.210 --> 00:18:08.690 not that's not fun at all there's nothing no 00:18:08.690 --> 00:18:11.849 nothing good about that situation no um and the 00:18:11.849 --> 00:18:14.109 timing of it just couldn't have been worse absolutely 00:18:14.109 --> 00:18:18.220 um golly i can't even imagine in the middle of 00:18:18.220 --> 00:18:21.319 all that. So there's a, there's a, there's a 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:26.220 memory that I have of Maddie being brand new 00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:30.380 to our house. And I am in the attic above her 00:18:30.380 --> 00:18:37.000 room because a storm has blown in and water is 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.839 now leaking into her room. And I'm just thinking 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:47.559 like, are you kidding me? Like doing. I don't 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.220 remember where we were in terms of the year. 00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:52.579 Well, I guess it would have to be in the fall 00:18:52.579 --> 00:18:56.319 because she was brand new to our house. So the 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:00.140 fall storms. And Tyler, my brother -in -law asked 00:19:00.140 --> 00:19:04.000 me one time when the rainy season was. And Tyler, 00:19:04.059 --> 00:19:06.240 I was like, well, we kind of spread it out. You 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.880 would do. So it was in the fall, rainy part. 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.660 And I was up in the attic and I'm trying to hold 00:19:14.660 --> 00:19:18.059 on to a bucket. to keep it like, and then try 00:19:18.059 --> 00:19:20.819 to like situate where it was going to go. Cause 00:19:20.819 --> 00:19:23.680 there's another leak that I'm seeing coming down. 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.519 And I remember just being like, there is no way 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.960 that this is happening right now. I can't make 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:34.140 it stop. Um, there's like, I'm just, we got to 00:19:34.140 --> 00:19:37.220 get through this storm. You needed some flex 00:19:37.220 --> 00:19:43.240 seal. Yeah. Yeah. Push this leak another direction, 00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:50.549 baby. But. There's water damage, man. Yeah, it's 00:19:50.549 --> 00:19:52.609 no good. That'll mess with you for a little while. 00:19:52.869 --> 00:19:56.950 Yep. I used to really like hearing the rain fall. 00:19:57.970 --> 00:20:00.049 Until you had a roof leak? Until I had a roof 00:20:00.049 --> 00:20:03.130 leak. And now I'm like, I just can't calm down. 00:20:04.890 --> 00:20:11.910 This is not good. Yep. Anyway. I know we were 00:20:11.910 --> 00:20:13.650 talking about that. We were talking about the... 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.660 that we had here on Monday. Yeah, that was crazy. 00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:24.240 I still don't know how it really happened. Did 00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.720 some of the rain leak in and kick stuff off? 00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:32.599 So what they think is that lightning hit somewhere 00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:37.859 on the property. Okay. Which, again, doesn't 00:20:37.859 --> 00:20:41.579 make a whole lot of sense because the timing 00:20:41.579 --> 00:20:45.490 of everything was that we were... I came in and 00:20:45.490 --> 00:20:50.069 they were already saying like, hey, the storm 00:20:50.069 --> 00:20:53.170 is messing with the power. I was like, okay. 00:20:53.690 --> 00:20:56.869 And like the power is kind of, it's going like 00:20:56.869 --> 00:21:00.150 in and out in the main building, in the preschool 00:21:00.150 --> 00:21:01.869 building, in the grade school building. Student 00:21:01.869 --> 00:21:05.509 building is fine, but the internet is off. And 00:21:05.509 --> 00:21:12.089 so I was like, okay. So I went up to the student 00:21:12.089 --> 00:21:18.660 building and. restarted the uh i almost said 00:21:18.660 --> 00:21:24.460 cloud key um udm udm because it didn't come back 00:21:24.460 --> 00:21:27.240 on and that was weird i was like okay that's 00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:30.200 strange but i like had to physically unplug it 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:32.480 from the socket and then plug it back in and 00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:35.319 then it came back on so that was a little bit 00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:37.339 like i don't really know what's happening there 00:21:37.339 --> 00:21:38.740 but i didn't have enough time to think about 00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:40.400 it because i was like just make sure everything 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.380 comes back up we got to go back in the servers 00:21:42.380 --> 00:21:46.259 you got to restart every nick um and you're just 00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:50.000 trying to like get things going and then you're 00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:52.380 like okay this is working now i get to go down 00:21:52.380 --> 00:21:54.619 to the other buildings and see what's going on 00:21:54.619 --> 00:21:58.119 there and sure enough like the lights are flickering 00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:03.480 and it's it's a very strange like uh so we've 00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.460 got power um and it seems like there's enough 00:22:07.460 --> 00:22:10.779 power for i mean you know there's there were 00:22:10.779 --> 00:22:12.759 a couple people there working and they had their 00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:16.019 computers plugged in and their monitors on and 00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:19.559 you know printing everything seemed like it was 00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:23.799 working fine and so i was like oh um i don't 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:28.140 like how this is going let's see if we can shut 00:22:28.140 --> 00:22:29.920 everything off so then you have to move everybody 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:34.599 to a different location yeah you gotta like okay 00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:36.599 the student building is fine everybody go up 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:39.279 there and as we're trying to figure this out 00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.099 i was talking to one of the facilities guys i 00:22:41.099 --> 00:22:43.339 was like We're getting everybody out of here, 00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:45.700 but then we need to turn the power off. We need 00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:50.559 to shut down breakers so that we know that everything 00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:53.240 that's plugged in isn't going up and down and 00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.940 up and down and up and down. And finally just 00:22:56.940 --> 00:23:04.480 giving up the ghost. Aside from going and testing 00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:06.380 a whole bunch of sockets, I'm not sure what I 00:23:06.380 --> 00:23:08.759 would have done at that point, but it's obvious 00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:13.089 that there's a problem. so we do all that we 00:23:13.089 --> 00:23:14.930 get everybody moved and then i'm like okay you 00:23:14.930 --> 00:23:16.789 take down this building i'm going to take down 00:23:16.789 --> 00:23:20.349 this building and i walked over to the main building 00:23:20.349 --> 00:23:23.829 closet like the great room closets where all 00:23:23.829 --> 00:23:26.210 the power comes in initially the big transformers 00:23:26.210 --> 00:23:29.990 out there yep um and i flip off a few breakers 00:23:29.990 --> 00:23:33.410 individually just so that i know like those are 00:23:33.410 --> 00:23:35.890 the ones that are off when i turn everything 00:23:35.890 --> 00:23:39.029 back else back on yeah i know that these are 00:23:39.029 --> 00:23:43.630 off Cause I just wanted to make sure. And some 00:23:43.630 --> 00:23:45.690 things that already like were already like powered 00:23:45.690 --> 00:23:48.509 down, which I was like, interesting. I didn't, 00:23:48.509 --> 00:23:51.569 I didn't do that. Um, but then I got to open 00:23:51.569 --> 00:23:54.450 the big breaker box and then, you know, lift 00:23:54.450 --> 00:23:58.069 the big lever and throw. Yeah. Which just makes 00:23:58.069 --> 00:24:01.710 you feel really powerful. Yeah. Like, bam. What 00:24:01.710 --> 00:24:07.190 am I? Thanos. Anyway. Um, uh, I heard like this 00:24:07.190 --> 00:24:10.900 weird. uh almost crackling noise i wasn't sure 00:24:10.900 --> 00:24:15.000 exactly what it was um you know if you're in 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:20.319 a really old house the sound that it can be it 00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:21.960 can make sometimes when things are just kind 00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.059 of settling in the wind or whatever it was like 00:24:25.059 --> 00:24:28.859 that where it was more like what was that and 00:24:28.859 --> 00:24:30.759 i looked up and i was trying to figure out if 00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.579 i was hearing something in the vents or you know 00:24:33.579 --> 00:24:36.119 with the ac shutting down was i what was going 00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:40.829 on but it didn't keep going and it was not it 00:24:40.829 --> 00:24:43.529 didn't it wasn't really loud so i was like okay 00:24:43.529 --> 00:24:47.589 i walk out of that building or walk out of that 00:24:47.589 --> 00:24:50.289 room and then to the other side of the building 00:24:50.289 --> 00:24:55.069 to try to find the other guy and as we go into 00:24:55.069 --> 00:24:58.029 the breezeway area and start walking towards 00:24:58.029 --> 00:25:00.869 the parking lot i was like do you hear that and 00:25:00.869 --> 00:25:04.869 it was like snap crackle pop like the like serious 00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:11.819 Oh, no, that's a thing. And it was the cables 00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:18.619 coming into the transformer. And holy cow, that 00:25:18.619 --> 00:25:21.599 thing was arcing like nobody's business. It's 00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:24.660 covered. We've got wooden doors in front of it, 00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:27.140 and then it's got its metal doors. You can see, 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:29.779 though, that the metal doors had been pushed 00:25:29.779 --> 00:25:32.920 open. So in that sense, I'm like, I don't know 00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:36.170 that something didn't just get in there. Cause 00:25:36.170 --> 00:25:40.029 a problem. But they're saying that when the lightning 00:25:40.029 --> 00:25:44.210 hit, we had some residual power that was finding 00:25:44.210 --> 00:25:48.369 an outlet into the building. Okay. When I turned 00:25:48.369 --> 00:25:51.170 the power off to the building, it didn't have 00:25:51.170 --> 00:25:54.569 anywhere to go. So it just started arcing across 00:25:54.569 --> 00:25:58.609 the three legs that we have. Okay. So that's 00:25:58.609 --> 00:26:03.109 what they're saying happened. I don't, I'm not 00:26:03.109 --> 00:26:06.099 an electrical engineer. But there was part of 00:26:06.099 --> 00:26:08.160 me that was like, I don't think we should be 00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:12.059 keeping this transformer anymore. But they put 00:26:12.059 --> 00:26:14.759 new boots on. They re -ran the cable. Or not 00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:19.819 re -ran the cable, but they re -affixed the cable. 00:26:21.339 --> 00:26:24.960 Cables. Because holy cow. Because that thing 00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:27.859 was on fire. Yeah, I saw one picture you sent. 00:26:27.940 --> 00:26:29.740 There were still flames. Yeah, I was like, oh, 00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:32.339 that's smoke. And I'm just imagining because 00:26:32.339 --> 00:26:36.089 of the noise. I'm picturing the... jumping I 00:26:36.089 --> 00:26:38.950 know what it looked like in there but I don't 00:26:38.950 --> 00:26:43.289 like I can't see it I'm just you know picturing 00:26:43.289 --> 00:26:47.450 it arcing over and over and over again so I'm 00:26:47.450 --> 00:26:49.490 on the phone with fire department because I'm 00:26:49.490 --> 00:26:52.410 like I don't actually like encore is not answering 00:26:52.410 --> 00:26:54.650 because there are other problems I know there 00:26:54.650 --> 00:26:58.609 are other problems I'm not dumb but like they're 00:26:58.609 --> 00:27:00.990 not it's not like somebody's manning that phone 00:27:02.890 --> 00:27:07.509 So we can't get anything turned off to just make 00:27:07.509 --> 00:27:09.750 sure that we don't have something really bad 00:27:09.750 --> 00:27:15.730 happen. Yeah. So call 911. I'm thinking, I mean, 00:27:15.730 --> 00:27:19.609 maybe emergency services would have some way 00:27:19.609 --> 00:27:26.309 of disabling something. About that time, like 00:27:26.309 --> 00:27:30.430 I'm on the phone with the dispatch. It just goes, 00:27:30.549 --> 00:27:34.920 boom. And then it did it again. And I was like, 00:27:34.980 --> 00:27:39.400 um, she was like, what was that? I was like, 00:27:39.460 --> 00:27:43.440 I think it just exploded. She was like, okay, 00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:45.720 we'll get fire department out there. Yes, you 00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.400 will. Thank you. I appreciate it. But by, by 00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:50.059 the time they got there, it was actually funny. 00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:53.380 There was no like big cloud. It just blew that, 00:27:53.380 --> 00:27:57.859 uh, um, connection finally to where it couldn't 00:27:57.859 --> 00:28:00.359 arc anymore. Yeah. Well, it could. And then it 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.440 blew again and then it couldn't. Yep. And so 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.619 they finally came out and luckily we had the 00:28:07.619 --> 00:28:09.559 power turned off to the building or I think that 00:28:09.559 --> 00:28:12.960 explosion would have gotten something inside. 00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:19.480 Well, yeah. Anyway, it was a day and I didn't 00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:21.240 even have to, like I was up there trying to make 00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:25.400 sure everything was not damaged to the best of 00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:28.700 my ability and then make sure that we had a way 00:28:28.700 --> 00:28:31.549 to do. The rest of the week if we were without 00:28:31.549 --> 00:28:36.809 power. Yeah. So there's just a lot of logistics. 00:28:36.930 --> 00:28:41.390 But Paul actually came up and did the talking 00:28:41.390 --> 00:28:47.009 to the Encore people and everything. Okay. Well, 00:28:47.029 --> 00:28:50.710 I guess it is beneficial that I guess the power 00:28:50.710 --> 00:28:55.450 that runs most of the main campus down here is 00:28:55.450 --> 00:28:59.420 separate from the student building. It appears 00:28:59.420 --> 00:29:02.839 that that's the way that it works. Power and 00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:05.119 internet comes in to the student building from 00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:07.380 a different entrance. Everything else is run 00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:17.400 by this house. And I'm like, yikes. It's good 00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:20.640 that something stays on most of the time. I think 00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:23.759 probably we'll run power to the new building 00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:26.500 down from the student building, so that'll be 00:29:26.500 --> 00:29:29.109 good. Yeah, come off the student building area. 00:29:29.990 --> 00:29:32.250 Because then it'll be more like half and half. 00:29:32.490 --> 00:29:35.809 Yeah. Less than one and a quarter. Or a quarter 00:29:35.809 --> 00:29:43.049 and then three quarters. Yeah. Man. It's just 00:29:43.049 --> 00:29:46.089 been kind of a tiring week. On top of a tiring 00:29:46.089 --> 00:29:51.329 month. But we're through May. Pretty much. Yes, 00:29:51.369 --> 00:29:55.250 we are. It's the 28th. Yeah. It's crazy to think 00:29:55.250 --> 00:30:01.390 that. the 1st of June falls into week two. Yeah, 00:30:01.390 --> 00:30:03.650 that's weird. Yeah, it's getting to the point 00:30:03.650 --> 00:30:05.549 where it's like, okay, do we need to shift the 00:30:05.549 --> 00:30:12.369 weeks again? I would think. Because I remember 00:30:12.369 --> 00:30:17.329 being in orientation at the end of May because 00:30:17.329 --> 00:30:20.369 we didn't get out of school until almost the 00:30:20.369 --> 00:30:23.730 end of May. Yeah, I know when Jason started 11 00:30:23.730 --> 00:30:29.950 years ago, Trailblazing week was a week further 00:30:29.950 --> 00:30:33.190 into May than it is now. So everything has just 00:30:33.190 --> 00:30:44.789 really shifted back. Yikes. Yep. But, you know, 00:30:44.890 --> 00:30:50.289 you're making it happen. It's a team effort. 00:30:50.490 --> 00:30:53.529 It's a team effort. No, for sure. If I was on 00:30:53.529 --> 00:30:59.460 my own, oh boy. Yeah, no, it can feel like you're 00:30:59.460 --> 00:31:02.839 on your own a lot. Sure, sure. This is definitely 00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:04.859 one of those. I mean, there were a few years 00:31:04.859 --> 00:31:07.859 where it pretty much was, hey, tag, you're it. 00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:12.920 Yeah. It's like, oh, boy, here we go. Yeah. Thankfully, 00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:15.700 there was a lot fewer camps back then, too. Right. 00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:20.099 I mean, yeah, there's a lot of, I mean, I got 00:31:20.099 --> 00:31:22.720 asked a question today from another staff member, 00:31:22.819 --> 00:31:25.519 and I remember thinking, like, Okay, you need 00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:28.460 to do this or this or this. And I was like, I 00:31:28.460 --> 00:31:31.759 need to let him figure out what he needs to do. 00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:37.279 And I'm just going to tell him the end of this 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:42.019 is over there. You're going to need to work backwards 00:31:42.019 --> 00:31:46.119 from that side to figure out what happened. Because 00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:55.949 I can't do this. Can't be the only one. Working 00:31:55.949 --> 00:31:57.809 anything that's got electricity going through 00:31:57.809 --> 00:32:04.390 it. Yeah. But. I mean, we were in the middle 00:32:04.390 --> 00:32:07.230 of the. Today was when the new printers came 00:32:07.230 --> 00:32:10.329 in. I think you're getting a new printer tomorrow. 00:32:10.730 --> 00:32:14.509 Tomorrow. Yep. For the med shed. Yeah. We'll 00:32:14.509 --> 00:32:16.250 round out the rest of them at the end of summer. 00:32:16.650 --> 00:32:26.189 He came by at the. Because. So we share a. printer 00:32:26.189 --> 00:32:30.890 salesman representative salesman sales rep sales 00:32:30.890 --> 00:32:32.829 rep count rep something like that account rep 00:32:32.829 --> 00:32:37.410 um and he's great hey alex hey alex um not that 00:32:37.410 --> 00:32:39.710 you're listening really appreciate you um but 00:32:39.710 --> 00:32:43.569 uh is it's funny because he'll he'll reference 00:32:43.569 --> 00:32:47.089 you a lot yeah whenever we're talking and i'm 00:32:47.089 --> 00:32:50.990 like well i mean yes what we we trust the decisions 00:32:50.990 --> 00:32:54.250 that chris makes for pine cove It doesn't mean 00:32:54.250 --> 00:32:57.049 we're going to buy the same stuff. Sure. Much 00:32:57.049 --> 00:33:01.910 smaller. Sure. But we did get new big printers 00:33:01.910 --> 00:33:06.750 to avoid the price hikes. Yeah. Did you stay 00:33:06.750 --> 00:33:09.109 Rico or did you go Lexmark? No, I stayed Rico. 00:33:09.369 --> 00:33:13.130 Okay. I was trying to stay, especially right 00:33:13.130 --> 00:33:16.589 now with where I'm at, I was trying to stay as, 00:33:16.690 --> 00:33:21.589 like, I don't have to re -download drivers on 00:33:21.589 --> 00:33:26.890 everybody's computers. Just as little change 00:33:26.890 --> 00:33:32.130 as I can get. Did you go Lexpro? We have Lexmark 00:33:32.130 --> 00:33:35.329 at the camps. Lexmark. Sorry, not Lexpro. Lexpro 00:33:35.329 --> 00:33:39.769 is a drug. It might be. Lexapro. That I think 00:33:39.769 --> 00:33:43.650 I'm on. Anyway, go ahead. Yeah, we have Lexmark 00:33:43.650 --> 00:33:51.170 at the camps. The XM3250. Yeah. But the big... 00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.220 Color machines that we have, those are still 00:33:54.220 --> 00:33:58.359 Ricoh. After summer, that might change. We might 00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:01.779 go all Lexmark. I would say that we have better 00:34:01.779 --> 00:34:06.039 luck in terms of air print with Lexmark than 00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:10.719 we have with Ricoh. These new ones that we got 00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:14.199 seem to work pretty well. Yeah. I did the today 00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:16.699 because we switched them all out today. I did 00:34:16.699 --> 00:34:19.800 the settings to make sure that they were recognizable 00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:27.190 with their. Bonjour name. Bonjour. And AirPrint. 00:34:27.230 --> 00:34:29.489 I mean, it's funny. They have them separately 00:34:29.489 --> 00:34:32.989 on the list of settings. And I was like, you 00:34:32.989 --> 00:34:35.489 change one, you change the other. Sure enough, 00:34:35.750 --> 00:34:38.630 you change one on one setting, then you'd go 00:34:38.630 --> 00:34:39.989 to the other setting and it's already changed. 00:34:40.210 --> 00:34:42.690 I was like, if you make me change it twice, I'm 00:34:42.690 --> 00:34:46.849 going to know one of these is bull. Yeah. But 00:34:46.849 --> 00:34:50.280 anyway. But went through and renamed things and 00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:56.480 made sure that they were. Oh, I had to re authenticate 00:34:56.480 --> 00:35:01.219 the. Scan. Oh, yeah. Scan the admin or whatever. 00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:05.519 Yeah. Because for some reason, the password that 00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:10.539 I had on that was not right. And so. Redid all 00:35:10.539 --> 00:35:12.900 of that stuff. Got them where I thought that 00:35:12.900 --> 00:35:19.510 they were OK. Then I scanned in my. huge visa 00:35:19.510 --> 00:35:27.710 to our uh business administrator was so angry 00:35:27.710 --> 00:35:29.989 for how long it had taken me to do it and it 00:35:29.989 --> 00:35:32.230 was i'm not kidding it was that thick like it 00:35:32.230 --> 00:35:35.829 was it was a sorry i'm using my hand right now 00:35:35.829 --> 00:35:41.710 um it was over half an inch thick um worth of 00:35:41.710 --> 00:35:46.530 paper i i really did spend a lot of, well, I 00:35:46.530 --> 00:35:48.510 made a, I don't even say I was, this was not 00:35:48.510 --> 00:35:52.829 the biggest purchase expenditures that I've ever 00:35:52.829 --> 00:35:57.269 done, but in a month, but there were just a lot 00:35:57.269 --> 00:36:00.690 of them. Yeah. Um, and so, um, that thing was 00:36:00.690 --> 00:36:03.849 thick. Um, and then without really even thinking 00:36:03.849 --> 00:36:06.150 about it because I was so done with it, I then 00:36:06.150 --> 00:36:16.440 shredded the, um, the bill bill. And then Oh, 00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:19.980 my gosh. What do you call it? The settings on 00:36:19.980 --> 00:36:28.840 the scan were 400 DPI instead of 300, and the 00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:33.719 file was too big. Uh -oh. So then I had to redo 00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:39.480 all of it. But this is the kind of month that's 00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:43.579 bad, where I'm just like, I cannot get ahead. 00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:46.260 Correct. I can't take care of the things that 00:36:46.260 --> 00:36:49.599 need to be done today. Yep. And every time I 00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:52.119 feel like I'm like right in that glimmer of like, 00:36:52.260 --> 00:37:02.239 Oh, it's, it's, Oh, Nope. So just tired. Yep. 00:37:02.300 --> 00:37:04.019 The month's almost over though. Month's almost 00:37:04.019 --> 00:37:11.670 over. And we got, you know, beer and yes. Speaking 00:37:11.670 --> 00:37:13.869 of going in for number two. Yeah, what are you 00:37:13.869 --> 00:37:17.809 going to choose? I think I'm going to take a 00:37:17.809 --> 00:37:24.610 chance on the dark lager. Why not? I tried two 00:37:24.610 --> 00:37:28.929 different Mexican lagers before. The one at True 00:37:28.929 --> 00:37:32.309 Vine, was it? Yes. Yeah, that was the one that 00:37:32.309 --> 00:37:35.429 was just kind of like, I don't think I like this. 00:37:35.469 --> 00:37:38.789 That wasn't a dark lager. No. And then the first 00:37:38.789 --> 00:37:43.139 one I tried. was a year ago when we were out. 00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:47.340 Maybe it's eight months. That's close enough. 00:37:48.099 --> 00:37:53.500 We were out in Georgia, Jacob and I, and I tried 00:37:53.500 --> 00:37:56.380 a Mexican lager out there. That one was actually 00:37:56.380 --> 00:38:00.880 pretty good. Nice. I mean, you know, this is 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:03.340 the difference between Dos Equis and Dos Equis 00:38:03.340 --> 00:38:12.260 Amber. Yeah. Yeah. So no blurb on this one, though. 00:38:12.340 --> 00:38:17.000 That's a bummer. Independence Brewing Company. 00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:20.119 Very, very sad about the black matter being on. 00:38:20.179 --> 00:38:22.960 I am going to take that old chub. I knew you 00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:27.440 would. That's why I grabbed it. So anything interesting? 00:38:27.579 --> 00:38:30.440 No, just the whole government warning. Hey, warning. 00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:32.659 Hey, if you drink this, this could happen to 00:38:32.659 --> 00:38:36.329 you. Bad things. Bad things. So they say. So 00:38:36.329 --> 00:38:41.690 they say old chub is a Scotch ale and it's shooter. 00:38:45.349 --> 00:38:50.429 Calm down. Brought to you by the good people 00:38:50.429 --> 00:38:54.409 in Longmont, Colorado, Colorado, Colorado of 00:38:54.409 --> 00:39:01.030 Oscar blues. What do you think? There's something, 00:39:01.150 --> 00:39:07.300 something weird there in the smell. Oh, Uh -oh. 00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:11.960 Is it salsa? No, I'm not sure what that is. Is 00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:17.320 it flowery? Is it dish soap? I almost don't want 00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:21.420 to say what it smells like. Oh, no. I'm just 00:39:21.420 --> 00:39:34.079 going to take a drink. Here we go. Cheers. It's 00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:46.610 kind of flowery. Oh, no. Not bad. Hmm. One of 00:39:46.610 --> 00:39:50.130 those was like, do I like this? What was that? 00:39:50.190 --> 00:39:56.449 Oh, oh, I tried a new one at True Vine. It was, 00:39:56.449 --> 00:40:01.130 it was, oh, I can't think of the name of it right 00:40:01.130 --> 00:40:05.550 now. I have to look it up. It was. I like, oh, 00:40:05.710 --> 00:40:08.730 well, there was two I tried. Okay. So the one 00:40:08.730 --> 00:40:12.289 that I like it, and I'd have no problem saying, 00:40:12.409 --> 00:40:17.550 hey, you should give that a try. No, I can't 00:40:17.550 --> 00:40:26.570 type. I still can't type. It is a oatmeal cookie. 00:40:27.130 --> 00:40:28.989 Yeah. Because, you know, we tried that one. Yes. 00:40:29.150 --> 00:40:32.349 This was a much better version. Okay. Than what 00:40:32.349 --> 00:40:36.340 we had. And they actually give you an Oreo cookie 00:40:36.340 --> 00:40:39.039 with it. All right, that's weird though, right? 00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:42.219 I did not eat the cookie while drinking the beer. 00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:44.900 Jacob ate the cookie while drinking the beer 00:40:44.900 --> 00:40:48.920 and said it was good. Okay. Do I trust Jacob 00:40:48.920 --> 00:40:54.619 or not? That's questionable. He does like the 00:40:54.619 --> 00:41:00.969 Kelsey Brothers beer, the garage beer. The garage 00:41:00.969 --> 00:41:03.250 beer that's basically for chugging and nothing 00:41:03.250 --> 00:41:06.309 else? It's basically like drinking water. Don't 00:41:06.309 --> 00:41:09.789 want to taste the beer, just want to chug it. 00:41:10.250 --> 00:41:13.449 Pretty much. Yeah, no, I'm not. Okay, let's see. 00:41:13.510 --> 00:41:17.110 What's on draft? Oh, connection. Oh, I'm on my. 00:41:17.349 --> 00:41:18.909 Yeah, I'm not going to be able to pull that up 00:41:18.909 --> 00:41:24.389 on here. Let me go to my phone. Whoopsie. Hey, 00:41:24.690 --> 00:41:27.150 yeah, you're right. That is in the beer category. 00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:33.340 Try one more time. That is a live fail, folks. 00:41:33.780 --> 00:41:36.659 That's pretty funny. Didn't think anything about 00:41:36.659 --> 00:41:39.019 it, and then it was like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. 00:41:39.219 --> 00:41:41.739 I was good until I clicked on the what's on draft, 00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:44.260 and then it kicked in and was like, oh, yeah, 00:41:44.300 --> 00:41:48.000 you're not supposed to be here. My bad. Yeah. 00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:53.179 These company devices. This is a new test device. 00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:57.179 Nice. What is that? Surface Laptop 7. So it's 00:41:57.179 --> 00:41:59.980 the Surface. Yeah, but it's the laptop. But it's 00:41:59.980 --> 00:42:02.699 the laptop instead of the tablet. Okay, so basically 00:42:02.699 --> 00:42:09.380 it looks like a Mac. I'm going to be open and 00:42:09.380 --> 00:42:11.840 honest. No, it doesn't look like a Mac. It looks 00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:15.019 like a Chromebook. It looks like a Mac. When 00:42:15.019 --> 00:42:18.179 you put it next to, I mean, that's an error, 00:42:18.260 --> 00:42:21.239 is it not? Yeah. I mean, to me, it's got the 00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:24.079 chiclet keys. It's got the recess for the keyboard. 00:42:24.300 --> 00:42:26.820 You said chiclet keys. I did. Chiclet keys, baby. 00:42:27.340 --> 00:42:31.059 And then it's got the oversized trackpad. It's 00:42:31.059 --> 00:42:35.179 machined aluminum. It's like, okay, guys. Is 00:42:35.179 --> 00:42:40.719 it unibody? It is. And it's got the whole rounded 00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:46.539 design in it. It wants to be a MacBook. In terms 00:42:46.539 --> 00:42:50.139 of appearance. Now, part of what also makes it 00:42:50.139 --> 00:42:53.440 like a MacBook. Still got that Windows key. There 00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:57.539 is not an Intel chip in this. Really? This is 00:42:57.539 --> 00:43:02.619 ARM. It's the Qualcomm chip. Okay. So it's their 00:43:02.619 --> 00:43:06.719 competitor, if you will, to the M series. Yeah, 00:43:08.539 --> 00:43:13.780 M series. Yes. Which Qualcomm? Because Qualcomm's 00:43:13.780 --> 00:43:17.130 been around. The same Qualcomm that makes chips 00:43:17.130 --> 00:43:21.489 for phones. Okay. Let me see which. It's a 12 00:43:21.489 --> 00:43:25.010 -core. Okay. I was like, is it a phone chip? 00:43:25.130 --> 00:43:27.329 Because if it's a phone chip, that sucks. No, 00:43:27.369 --> 00:43:30.170 no, no. Where are you at here? Where are you 00:43:30.170 --> 00:43:34.250 at? Where are you at? It is the Snapdragon X 00:43:34.250 --> 00:43:39.949 12 -core running at 3 .4 gigahertz. I mean, that's. 00:43:40.909 --> 00:43:44.940 It's peppy. Yeah. So this is my first go with 00:43:44.940 --> 00:43:48.900 ARM -based Windows. Okay. There's a couple of 00:43:48.900 --> 00:43:51.019 applications that I had to specifically get to 00:43:51.019 --> 00:43:54.059 ARM -based for. Okay. So like Cisco AnyConnect, 00:43:54.199 --> 00:43:57.139 I had to get to ARM -based. You can't run Windows. 00:43:58.179 --> 00:44:03.719 Really? Yes. It would say, when we would push 00:44:03.719 --> 00:44:06.139 it from the MDM, it would say success, but it 00:44:06.139 --> 00:44:07.619 would be nowhere to be found on the computer. 00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:10.300 And it was like, okay, well, let's try the ARM 00:44:10.300 --> 00:44:13.309 version. Boom, it hit it the first time. Really? 00:44:13.469 --> 00:44:18.190 Yeah. And then Sentinel -1, we had to specifically 00:44:18.190 --> 00:44:21.030 get the ARM -based version. So far, those are 00:44:21.030 --> 00:44:23.610 the only two things that had to be uniquely ARM. 00:44:23.869 --> 00:44:26.469 So even our older version of Microsoft Office 00:44:26.469 --> 00:44:30.050 works just great, even though it's running on 00:44:30.050 --> 00:44:33.809 an ARM platform. Interesting. So I've been very 00:44:33.809 --> 00:44:37.809 pleased with this laptop so far. This is my second 00:44:37.809 --> 00:44:41.730 week with it, almost third. And it is done quite 00:44:41.730 --> 00:44:45.630 well. Okay, so where are you at? Where are you 00:44:45.630 --> 00:44:50.130 at? Where are you at? I guess they're out of 00:44:50.130 --> 00:44:56.429 it. Bummer. So going back to it, it was a oatmeal 00:44:56.429 --> 00:45:02.809 cookie stout. Okay. It was not bad. Okay. I have 00:45:02.809 --> 00:45:04.630 no intentions of going back and getting it again, 00:45:04.750 --> 00:45:06.489 but I'd have no problem recommending some people 00:45:06.489 --> 00:45:11.119 trying it. There you go. So, the other one that 00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:15.539 I tried, and boy did it walk the line, was the 00:45:15.539 --> 00:45:20.920 True Vine Hey Bear. It's a dark brown ale. Okay. 00:45:20.980 --> 00:45:23.860 And I'm like, okay, dark brown ale, you got my 00:45:23.860 --> 00:45:26.519 attention. We're at least on the... Let's give 00:45:26.519 --> 00:45:30.219 this a try. It said dark. You have my attention. 00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:34.420 But the bitter? Yeah. Oh my gosh. Really? It 00:45:34.420 --> 00:45:38.630 just walked... teetered that line of almost too 00:45:38.630 --> 00:45:41.929 much bitter. You know, it was just like, it was 00:45:41.929 --> 00:45:44.590 just kind of like tease and would just, Oh, I'm 00:45:44.590 --> 00:45:46.469 going to lean over, but not quite step over. 00:45:46.550 --> 00:45:50.070 So it's a third beer. That's what you're telling 00:45:50.070 --> 00:45:53.130 me. Yeah. It was dead. Yeah. By the, by the third 00:45:53.130 --> 00:45:56.570 beer, you don't care. Drink the 12. Yeah. Drink, 00:45:56.670 --> 00:45:59.690 drink the sanctimonium round one around two and 00:45:59.690 --> 00:46:02.670 then go hit the hay bear. Um, and then the other 00:46:02.670 --> 00:46:06.639 one that I'm trying, this is great. Yeah, a third 00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:10.500 beer you don't care. Where is it? Take Me Bach 00:46:10.500 --> 00:46:14.460 to Eden. That was a good Bach. I'll give them 00:46:14.460 --> 00:46:16.179 that. That was a good Bach. Take Me Bach to Eden. 00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:18.480 Take Me Bach to Eden. That was a good Bach. I 00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:20.639 think I'm going to make it weird. Well, they've 00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:23.480 got to come up with these fun names. Sure. And 00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:25.079 then the other two things that Michelle and I 00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:29.519 tried, we tried the root beer. It was a little 00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:36.159 weird. A little rooty? Finished with butterscotch. 00:46:37.820 --> 00:46:40.179 You take that first drink. It's a little bit 00:46:40.179 --> 00:46:42.980 vanilla. Does that make it smooth or does that 00:46:42.980 --> 00:46:44.900 make it like... It just makes it really weird. 00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:47.559 Because, I mean, you're thinking it's root beer. 00:46:47.780 --> 00:46:49.739 You made it weird. You get a little bit of vanilla. 00:46:49.780 --> 00:46:52.599 You're like, yeah, okay, fine. And then you get 00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:55.820 that root beer and then it hits butterscotch. 00:46:56.119 --> 00:47:00.849 And you're like, what did I just drink? Is it 00:47:00.849 --> 00:47:04.610 like syrupy or like? No, no, no, no, no. It drinks 00:47:04.610 --> 00:47:07.230 like a regular root beer, but just that once 00:47:07.230 --> 00:47:09.909 you've swallowed it down and that aftertaste, 00:47:10.010 --> 00:47:14.429 that just hits butterscotch. It was really weird. 00:47:15.010 --> 00:47:18.469 But I do recommend the lemonade. Okay. The only 00:47:18.469 --> 00:47:20.130 thing they're missing in the lemonade is they 00:47:20.130 --> 00:47:23.070 need to put some ice in that stuff. Yeah. That's 00:47:23.070 --> 00:47:24.690 the only thing that's missing. Okay. But it was 00:47:24.690 --> 00:47:26.429 good. And the other thing that's a little off 00:47:26.429 --> 00:47:28.210 -putting on the root beer. Bring your own ice. 00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:34.880 It looks like a watered -down soda. It's like, 00:47:34.940 --> 00:47:38.539 oh, you missed some of the syrup out of the bag 00:47:38.539 --> 00:47:40.559 here, guys. This is running a little lean. This 00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:43.659 is too carbonated. So, yeah, visually it was 00:47:43.659 --> 00:47:48.800 like, I promise, this is root beer. Yeah, I mean, 00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:51.480 that makes me think that it's, I mean, you know, 00:47:51.519 --> 00:47:55.139 cream soda is kind of clear. Yeah. So that makes 00:47:55.139 --> 00:47:59.099 me think it's root beer, cream soda -ish. It 00:47:59.099 --> 00:48:01.099 may be. I mean, they, they straight up call it 00:48:01.099 --> 00:48:05.159 root beer. It's, it's something that's for sure. 00:48:05.820 --> 00:48:12.539 So, well, that's exciting. Yep. I'm, I'm, I'm 00:48:12.539 --> 00:48:14.760 a big fan of going to the local places and trying 00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:18.199 out what they got. Cause at least ours seemed 00:48:18.199 --> 00:48:22.099 to rotate them. Yep. Pretty heavily. And they're 00:48:22.099 --> 00:48:23.900 always trying to figure something out. Yeah. 00:48:23.980 --> 00:48:27.449 I need to go back. To East Texas Brewery downtown. 00:48:27.570 --> 00:48:29.849 It's been a while since I've been there. Last 00:48:29.849 --> 00:48:33.769 time I was there, I was playing there. So it 00:48:33.769 --> 00:48:38.110 was the last time you were there. Yep. Yep. Haven't 00:48:38.110 --> 00:48:39.809 done that in a while. Yep. I had Garrett with 00:48:39.809 --> 00:48:43.869 me that night. Yeah, he did. He enjoyed it. Yeah, 00:48:43.929 --> 00:48:48.250 he's turning into a full -blown adult. Yeah, 00:48:48.289 --> 00:48:52.730 he turns 21 in October. So that's weird. Oh, 00:48:52.750 --> 00:48:56.289 yeah. Oh, yeah. They think I've got a 21 -year 00:48:56.289 --> 00:49:00.329 -old about to be in the house. I don't. So he's 00:49:00.329 --> 00:49:04.070 rekindled the discussions of, okay, so the day 00:49:04.070 --> 00:49:06.409 I turn 21, we're going out for a drink, right? 00:49:06.730 --> 00:49:08.929 Yes. Like, yes, I promised you when you turn 00:49:08.929 --> 00:49:11.690 21 that I would take you out. I absolutely will. 00:49:12.090 --> 00:49:15.449 I'll be your driver just in case you get caught 00:49:15.449 --> 00:49:17.190 up and you're like, oh, I didn't realize that 00:49:17.190 --> 00:49:18.949 it would do that. There's a lot of things to 00:49:18.949 --> 00:49:24.400 try. Correct. And poof. Correct. So we'll figure 00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:28.780 out where to go. But yeah, would love to get 00:49:28.780 --> 00:49:31.980 him a little bit of tasting of the spectrum. 00:49:32.380 --> 00:49:35.579 There you go. So, okay. Here's a light beer. 00:49:36.099 --> 00:49:41.159 Never drink this again. I need you to know. Yes. 00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:44.500 Don't do this. This is not good. Don't drink 00:49:44.500 --> 00:49:48.380 that. You will embarrass me. Here's an amber. 00:49:49.059 --> 00:49:52.099 Don't go lighter than this. Yeah. Here's a dark 00:49:52.099 --> 00:49:54.079 beer. This is where you should live. This is 00:49:54.079 --> 00:49:55.860 where you live. Yes. This is the good stuff. 00:49:57.679 --> 00:50:02.239 Yeah. I mean, my wife still drinks pretty, pretty 00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:06.900 blonde things. And, and every once in a while 00:50:06.900 --> 00:50:08.239 it's like, well, that's what's in the house. 00:50:08.300 --> 00:50:11.519 So this is what we're drinking. But most of the 00:50:11.519 --> 00:50:13.980 time it's at least like blue moon now. I'm not, 00:50:14.019 --> 00:50:18.320 I still can't even do that. I mean, yeah, I get 00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:22.190 it. but she puts the like full orange in it and 00:50:22.190 --> 00:50:23.650 everything. Oh yeah. It's like, that's what you're 00:50:23.650 --> 00:50:26.429 supposed to do. I don't know. Just like people 00:50:26.429 --> 00:50:28.369 get their Corona and they put lime. And I'm like, 00:50:28.389 --> 00:50:31.530 if you've got to put lime in your beer, you should 00:50:31.530 --> 00:50:35.230 drink something else. Yeah. I did the first, 00:50:35.250 --> 00:50:38.590 first, first beer that I drank on a regular basis 00:50:38.590 --> 00:50:41.050 with was Corona. And it was because of the lime. 00:50:41.150 --> 00:50:43.170 You put the lime in it and it's like, well, this 00:50:43.170 --> 00:50:48.239 isn't too bad. Like that's a problem. The fact 00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:51.780 that you're even saying that is a problem. Yeah. 00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:54.599 But you know, you're just trying to figure it 00:50:54.599 --> 00:50:58.320 out. Yeah. We all have to be kids at some point. 00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:01.440 I guess so. So the other one that he's now seen 00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:07.440 that's new and he was like, I want the hard Mountain 00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:11.559 Dew Baja blast. I'm like, are you serious? Interesting. 00:51:13.089 --> 00:51:15.630 But apparently that's the thing now that Mountain 00:51:15.630 --> 00:51:19.329 Dew has got their own alcoholic beverages. This 00:51:19.329 --> 00:51:21.909 is when I'm really grateful that I'm not in college 00:51:21.909 --> 00:51:24.849 anymore because that would be a problem. Yeah, 00:51:24.849 --> 00:51:26.150 that would be the kind that gets you in trouble. 00:51:26.349 --> 00:51:28.829 I remember the first time I had a Mike's Hard 00:51:28.829 --> 00:51:32.090 Lemonade. It was like, oh, this is great, man. 00:51:32.650 --> 00:51:34.610 You're three or four in. There's no alcohol in 00:51:34.610 --> 00:51:39.900 this. Whoa. Yeah, it's like, uh -oh. I drank 00:51:39.900 --> 00:51:43.519 that really fast. I did. It starts making the 00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:45.440 lips go numb and you're like, I think I'm going 00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:47.300 to take a seat and I'm going to chill for a bit. 00:51:47.420 --> 00:51:50.880 Yeah, well, I was always sitting down. That's 00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:54.280 when you stand up and you're like, mm -mm. That 00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:56.579 did have an effect. It didn't feel like it had 00:51:56.579 --> 00:52:00.230 an effect, but it did. That's hard to manage. 00:52:00.610 --> 00:52:02.469 But that's why you need people around you that 00:52:02.469 --> 00:52:05.050 are going to take care of you. Absolutely. When 00:52:05.050 --> 00:52:11.010 you're starting this journey. Absolutely. I don't 00:52:11.010 --> 00:52:13.710 think I recommend this Fiesta. It's not bad. 00:52:13.889 --> 00:52:17.869 I can tell from the look on your face. Maybe 00:52:17.869 --> 00:52:21.750 just me and Mexican beers just aren't made for 00:52:21.750 --> 00:52:25.780 each other. Listen, Chicago, it's just not. It's 00:52:25.780 --> 00:52:32.019 not them. It's you. Yes. So. Yeah. No, I'm not 00:52:32.019 --> 00:52:34.059 really surprised by that at all. You want to 00:52:34.059 --> 00:52:38.019 try this? No, I'm good. Remember? I'm good. I'll 00:52:38.019 --> 00:52:39.480 let you have it all to yourself. Thanks, man. 00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:40.840 I really appreciate it because it's so delicious. 00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:43.900 I know you love your old chub. It's just really 00:52:43.900 --> 00:52:46.940 good. I'm sad that there's not a blurb. I may 00:52:46.940 --> 00:52:49.460 look online real quick. You talk for a second. 00:52:49.500 --> 00:52:51.760 You've got to have a blurb, man. That's the whole 00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:55.989 thing. I will be handing this laptop off soon 00:52:55.989 --> 00:52:59.449 to my boss for him to give it a go. And I suspect 00:52:59.449 --> 00:53:02.329 he's going to end up keeping it because he really 00:53:02.329 --> 00:53:05.369 loved his Surface Pro back when we still had 00:53:05.369 --> 00:53:08.929 those. And so the idea of anything Surface, he's 00:53:08.929 --> 00:53:10.289 kind of like, yes, I would love to give that 00:53:10.289 --> 00:53:13.449 a try. The main reason why I'm evaluating this 00:53:13.449 --> 00:53:18.949 is Dell has had no problem pushing prices up 00:53:18.949 --> 00:53:22.590 with the uncertainty in the market. So I was 00:53:22.590 --> 00:53:25.730 able to pick up this for the same price as an 00:53:25.730 --> 00:53:29.710 Air, $1 ,200. Oh, that's great. The equivalent 00:53:29.710 --> 00:53:33.849 Dell that I would normally buy ranges anywhere 00:53:33.849 --> 00:53:38.769 from $1 ,800 to $2 ,000. And it's just kind of 00:53:38.769 --> 00:53:42.070 like, okay, I got that last year for $1 ,400. 00:53:42.409 --> 00:53:45.550 They have had no problems whatsoever pushing 00:53:45.550 --> 00:53:48.250 costs on. Okay, so specs on this thing real quick. 00:53:48.670 --> 00:53:52.829 are it's that 12 core it's a 12 core arm uh snapdragon 00:53:52.829 --> 00:53:57.550 x okay this is 16 gigs of ram great and 512 solid 00:53:57.550 --> 00:54:01.670 state okay i mean so it's the standard size specs 00:54:01.670 --> 00:54:04.409 that we would give now there's a little bit bonus 00:54:04.409 --> 00:54:09.889 screen size this is actually 13 .8 so 14 so essentially 00:54:09.889 --> 00:54:13.889 yes so there's a tad bit more screen real estate 00:54:13.889 --> 00:54:15.710 and you can notice it when you when you're sitting 00:54:15.710 --> 00:54:18.260 here using it yeah I mean, it's hard to notice 00:54:18.260 --> 00:54:21.059 it when it's right up against the... Well, they 00:54:21.059 --> 00:54:24.639 make a 15 -inch version of this. It's only a 00:54:24.639 --> 00:54:27.900 few hundred bucks more. I mean, don't make me 00:54:27.900 --> 00:54:31.139 go buy yet another test machine. Yeah, no, I, 00:54:31.260 --> 00:54:33.679 yeah. And it's getting to the point, though, 00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:38.039 with these that I, like, I really, I do feel 00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:41.800 bad about 16 gigs, which is funny because they 00:54:41.800 --> 00:54:44.940 were trying to make all the M -series chips sound 00:54:44.940 --> 00:54:46.480 like, oh, you don't need any more than eight. 00:54:46.730 --> 00:54:48.449 gigs of Ram and blah, blah, blah. I was like, 00:54:48.489 --> 00:54:51.909 no, that's not going to be the case. Not when 00:54:51.909 --> 00:54:54.750 you're trying to hold onto it for five plus years. 00:54:54.829 --> 00:54:57.510 Well, that got disproven within a week. Yeah. 00:54:57.570 --> 00:55:01.010 It was so bad anyway. And so then the 16 is now 00:55:01.010 --> 00:55:05.590 the base. And I'm like, I just think we need 00:55:05.590 --> 00:55:09.989 a little bit more. Yeah. Uh, I could see. So 00:55:09.989 --> 00:55:13.269 the 24 is kind of. Yeah. The 24 is still the 00:55:13.269 --> 00:55:16.349 sweet spot in terms of price. I would. I could 00:55:16.349 --> 00:55:19.530 see within a couple of years that 32 becomes 00:55:19.530 --> 00:55:23.869 our baseline. Yeah. That seems crazy. Yeah. Although 00:55:23.869 --> 00:55:26.070 it seemed crazy when we went to 16 gig for the 00:55:26.070 --> 00:55:28.150 baseline too. Yeah. It was like, we're putting 00:55:28.150 --> 00:55:29.889 helmet trim in this machine? Are you kidding 00:55:29.889 --> 00:55:33.630 me? Yeah. It just, I mean, you know, there for 00:55:33.630 --> 00:55:35.170 a while they were like, well, all these like 00:55:35.170 --> 00:55:38.289 single chip, like everything being together, 00:55:38.449 --> 00:55:40.889 it's just going to make it so much faster. And 00:55:40.889 --> 00:55:43.809 it did. I really, like I'm not, but it's always 00:55:43.809 --> 00:55:47.190 the case. That as soon as that speed is there, 00:55:47.349 --> 00:55:51.030 everything wants to use it. Yep. So, you know, 00:55:51.070 --> 00:55:54.130 I've got plenty of M2 machines in our lineup 00:55:54.130 --> 00:55:58.590 that are eating up. Yep. In the middle of, you 00:55:58.590 --> 00:56:02.690 know, whatever. And spoiler alert, it's usually 00:56:02.690 --> 00:56:05.849 messages. So just close messages. I message, 00:56:05.869 --> 00:56:09.559 yes. Holy cow, what is that? I think the biggest 00:56:09.559 --> 00:56:12.039 thing that I've noticed on this particular laptop 00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:17.619 is that Chrome is by far the biggest battery 00:56:17.619 --> 00:56:22.739 drain resource on here. Oh, yeah. When it finally... 00:56:22.739 --> 00:56:24.880 Now, I haven't been able to get the whole 24 00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:27.239 hours out of this that they claim. And I think 00:56:27.239 --> 00:56:29.179 part of that has to do with Chrome. I should 00:56:29.179 --> 00:56:32.139 probably give it a fair run with Edge. And I 00:56:32.139 --> 00:56:35.739 could probably get that 24 hours. But I will 00:56:35.739 --> 00:56:41.079 say I can absolutely get through a 12 -hour workday 00:56:41.079 --> 00:56:43.559 on this. Yeah. And I'm still on the same charge. 00:56:43.739 --> 00:56:46.599 Yeah. I can't do that on my Dell. No. No, I'm 00:56:46.599 --> 00:56:48.400 plugging in a couple times to get through a 12 00:56:48.400 --> 00:56:50.380 -hour day. Yeah. I have been really impressed 00:56:50.380 --> 00:56:53.119 with the battery life on these new Macs. I was 00:56:53.119 --> 00:56:56.000 like, oh, no, I really can. Like, in fact, there 00:56:56.000 --> 00:56:58.599 are times that I forget, oh, I should have plugged 00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:00.699 that in. Yeah. Because then you're, you know, 00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:03.610 25 % and going. Somewhere where you're like, 00:57:03.650 --> 00:57:06.570 I really wish I had been charged for this. But 00:57:06.570 --> 00:57:13.250 anyway. Hey, Old Chub's 8 % ABV. It says seven 00:57:13.250 --> 00:57:16.210 varieties of malt combined. Seven varieties of 00:57:16.210 --> 00:57:20.789 malt. Really? Combined to create complex candied 00:57:20.789 --> 00:57:28.230 figs, raisins, and toffee flavors with a hint 00:57:28.230 --> 00:57:32.940 of smoke. Okay. Yeah. So intensely flavorful. 00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:36.539 It'll inflate your bagpipes with every swig. 00:57:36.539 --> 00:57:41.199 So like peat smoke? I mean, they're saying it's 00:57:41.199 --> 00:57:44.860 a scotch ale. Okay. So it's a scotch. Okay. Smokiness 00:57:44.860 --> 00:57:48.539 to it. Okay. So, yeah. I mean, I can confirm. 00:57:49.940 --> 00:57:53.119 I like it the best of all the scotch ales I've 00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:56.539 ever tried. Okay. Don't hate me, but like all 00:57:56.539 --> 00:58:01.760 the founders, I'm not. picking them over this 00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:05.260 that's okay that's okay we we we can have different 00:58:05.260 --> 00:58:09.599 tastes yes we can yeah yes we can so like oh 00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:12.360 it's so good yeah so like on this laptop i'm 00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:16.900 sitting at roughly 50 battery 40 of that has 00:58:16.900 --> 00:58:25.079 been consumed by chrome so draw your own conclusion 00:58:25.079 --> 00:58:29.760 yes so there you go folks uh Chrome is not as 00:58:29.760 --> 00:58:31.780 efficient as everybody likes to think that it 00:58:31.780 --> 00:58:37.800 is. But if you like Windows, I have no problem 00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:40.900 saying you should get this. It's a lot of machine 00:58:40.900 --> 00:58:44.880 for $1 ,200. Well, that makes me wonder if they'll 00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:46.179 do that. And it will take good care of you. Like 00:58:46.179 --> 00:58:51.340 Lori's actually had a Surface for a while. So 00:58:51.340 --> 00:58:53.599 I wonder if the schools will start doing something 00:58:53.599 --> 00:58:58.539 like that. Yeah, I mean, this is... I want to 00:58:58.539 --> 00:59:01.639 say this is technically cheaper than the Surface 00:59:01.639 --> 00:59:04.760 Pro with similar specs. I mean, I think so. Oh, 00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:08.360 you are the man. A gift from a friend. Dude, 00:59:08.780 --> 00:59:11.880 is that what you had under wraps? That's what 00:59:11.880 --> 00:59:13.940 I had. Thank you, Paul. Oh, that's a good one. 00:59:14.119 --> 00:59:15.980 Yeah, thank you, Paul. I mean, I was going to 00:59:15.980 --> 00:59:19.239 share this with you. Well, I'll gladly take it 00:59:19.239 --> 00:59:24.480 home with me. Yeah. So we were joking about somebody 00:59:24.480 --> 00:59:27.179 was having a meeting in the room that has the 00:59:27.179 --> 00:59:31.559 refrigerator in it that I had stored my beer 00:59:31.559 --> 00:59:37.320 in. Yeah. And so we had to come over here and 00:59:37.320 --> 00:59:40.340 get started. Yeah. But the plan was to surprise. 00:59:41.639 --> 00:59:45.099 Chris here with the red Jemay. Oh, Jemay red. 00:59:45.219 --> 00:59:48.960 Because we haven't had the red in a while. No, 00:59:48.960 --> 00:59:53.539 no, no. That one, we tried the premier in the 00:59:53.539 --> 00:59:57.940 Grand Reserve, the blue. Yeah. And the Grand 00:59:57.940 --> 01:00:00.239 Reserve was a little fruity, but still good. 01:00:00.440 --> 01:00:04.360 And then I brought in the white label. White 01:00:04.360 --> 01:00:06.980 label at one point, and we did not really enjoy 01:00:06.980 --> 01:00:10.159 that. It was okay. It was fine. It's not bad. 01:00:10.280 --> 01:00:14.400 It's just not. I think I like the red label the 01:00:14.400 --> 01:00:19.599 most. The Grand Reserve is still good, but a 01:00:19.599 --> 01:00:22.659 little fruity. And then that other one that I 01:00:22.659 --> 01:00:26.619 tried, the gold label, that was a Doré. That 01:00:26.619 --> 01:00:33.099 was a Spice. That was still pretty good. Yeah. 01:00:34.820 --> 01:00:39.460 And then they have one that is essentially their 01:00:39.460 --> 01:00:42.219 house beer. which is supposedly what the monks 01:00:42.219 --> 01:00:45.860 drink on a normal basis. I want to try that one. 01:00:47.300 --> 01:00:50.940 I mean... If the monks like it, it's got to be 01:00:50.940 --> 01:00:56.960 good. Feels like that's blessed. Yes. Well, I'm 01:00:56.960 --> 01:01:03.199 still a believer of these. I mean, you... I mean, 01:01:03.219 --> 01:01:05.699 the whole Trappist concept. Yeah. I'm buying 01:01:05.699 --> 01:01:08.960 amazing beer. Yeah. They get the money. They 01:01:08.960 --> 01:01:11.199 get the money. They help people. They help people. 01:01:11.320 --> 01:01:14.340 And they keep the brewery going. Seems like. 01:01:14.360 --> 01:01:17.340 It's a win, win, win. We're all benefiting here. 01:01:17.960 --> 01:01:22.400 Absolutely. So, well, I appreciate that you had 01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:24.860 brought that. Yeah, that was the plan. Well, 01:01:25.019 --> 01:01:28.360 something tells me if you don't open it, it'll 01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:30.659 keep until next show. I think probably we just 01:01:30.659 --> 01:01:35.639 put it in this fridge over here and forget about 01:01:35.639 --> 01:01:41.559 it until we need it. Yeah. Hey, thanks for hanging 01:01:41.559 --> 01:01:43.820 out. Enjoyed it. It's good to get back to a show. 01:01:43.960 --> 01:01:46.139 Always good to get back to a show. Sorry we didn't 01:01:46.139 --> 01:01:48.679 talk too much about gear, but we stumbled into 01:01:48.679 --> 01:01:51.559 it. We snuck some in. You never know when you're 01:01:51.559 --> 01:01:53.940 going to stumble into it. When we sit down, usually 01:01:53.940 --> 01:01:57.840 we're going to talk about something like that. 01:01:57.900 --> 01:02:02.099 That's just kind of the nature of it. But it's 01:02:02.099 --> 01:02:04.969 because it's really fun to talk about. That's 01:02:04.969 --> 01:02:06.570 why we wanted to do this whole thing to begin 01:02:06.570 --> 01:02:11.730 with. But always grateful. Yeah, enjoyed it, 01:02:11.730 --> 01:02:16.070 man. Thanks for the beers. Yes. Beers. Plural. 01:02:16.510 --> 01:02:19.050 Plural. And we'll drink the Chimay next time. 01:02:19.289 --> 01:02:21.849 Yes, I'm all for it. All right, see you. See 01:02:21.849 --> 01:02:45.460 you, everybody. We didn't have tornadoes here 01:02:45.460 --> 01:02:48.179 until we started putting into traffic circles. 01:02:48.400 --> 01:02:50.300 Because on the counter, you want to know why? 01:02:50.579 --> 01:02:53.239 When people go round and round in circles, it 01:02:53.239 --> 01:02:55.920 causes disturbance in the atmosphere and causes 01:02:55.920 --> 01:02:56.800 tornadoes.
