1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:24,740 Welcome to Botch's Off-Road. Join us as we talk about everything from gear reviews to 2 00:00:24,740 --> 00:00:30,400 trail stories, tent camping to rock landing, and all things to do with the outdoors. This 3 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:37,320 episode we're going to try another, you're getting two new segments this week. We're 4 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:43,720 going to try doing something a little different and read off some radio chatter cards and 5 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:51,920 kind of answer them and play the game a little bit. We definitely forgot our radio chatter 6 00:00:51,920 --> 00:01:00,360 deck somewhere, so we're only going to have one card today. It's going to be the one that 7 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:08,320 they advertise on their website. I'll link the radio chatter website in the show notes 8 00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:13,280 because this is a game that it's good to just have it in your glove box. It doubles as a 9 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,980 deck of cards, so if you want to play normal cards, it's there. There's some really fun 10 00:01:18,980 --> 00:01:24,160 questions and it's worth reading them out. 11 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:32,400 They even have a radio chatter after darkie game, which is not safe for kids or not safe 12 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,160 for radios, NSFR as they say. 13 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,120 I definitely own that deck and that deck will definitely be mixed in when we're reading 14 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,120 our cards. 15 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,000 Oh yeah, that'll be a lot of fun. 16 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,040 The next time you hear radio chatter from us, it might be dirty. 17 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,680 Yeah, right. So it'll be nice for a little mini-show today. The conversation starter 18 00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:00,640 for the radio chatter, as they have up on their website, the question is, what is your 19 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,360 favorite upgrade on your rig? I think that's a pretty good one. Why don't we start with 20 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,740 you, Mark? What's your favorite? I know you just got a new one, so I wonder if that changes 21 00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:13,400 anything now. 22 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:20,000 I kind of debated about it, thinking about it. I'm like, does it really? Is my new favorite 23 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,440 one? No, I think my favorite one, and this is the second time now, but this time is better 24 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:34,520 than the first time, is how I had my comms and speaker laid out for my truck. 25 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,880 Very efficient if you've ever seen it. Maybe, Mark, you could take a picture of your cab 26 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,880 area at some point. 27 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:51,920 Yeah, I got a couple pictures. I think I can get them off my phone. This last time, instead 28 00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:57,560 of having my main unit mounted in the back behind my seat, even though last time we did 29 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:04,000 it was temporary and we just threw it back there, but I got that set up that way. It's 30 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:13,360 in my glove box, or actually not a glove box, but the center console. I plumbed the mic 31 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:22,640 cord into a little mic plug-in where my outlet used to be for my cigarette lighter. 32 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:23,640 Using Cat 5. 33 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:24,960 Yes, Cat 5 cable. 34 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,960 We ran a Cat 5 cable from the center console to the dash that goes through a pass-through 35 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,600 that makes it so we can plug his mic in on the dash. 36 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,600 Yep. 37 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:43,600 Then ran speaker up over into above my sunglass holders and put a speaker there because it 38 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:52,440 was a good area for me to position it. It looks clean being centered. Beyond that, I 39 00:03:52,440 --> 00:04:00,120 got some off-roam foam mounts, ones for my phone. Now, Zoom, mostly more than the phone 40 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,120 now. 41 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:10,800 Then the other one is strictly for my mic holder. I got this cool magnetic mic mount. 42 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:16,280 It's quite awesome just to throw it up there. As long as it's within range of that main 43 00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:19,640 unit, it will grab the main unit and stay up. 44 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,640 Yeah, your magnet holder for your mic. I'm going to have to copy that because that is 45 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,440 the sweetest thing, dude. 46 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,400 It is. 47 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:36,520 It just holds it so... It's easy to grab. It holds it tight. It's rock solid. 48 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,800 Hey, I'm muted. 49 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:57,240 Yeah, okay. Do I leave the 10 seconds of silence there or not? 50 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,720 What I was going to say was that, yeah, I actually thought about that too while we were 51 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,040 doing our poker run. I would reach with my left hand to go put the mic back on my A-pillar 52 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,920 where I have it mounted at. I would literally just drop it on the ground because I'm not 53 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,280 looking at the same time. There was a couple of times where I dropped it on the floor. 54 00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:22,000 I'm like, oh, shit, and picked it up. Yeah, the magnetic, that's pretty interesting. I 55 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,200 might have to think about something like that too. Or maybe I'll look at a cheaper version 56 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,680 and looking at the magnets we sell at our hardware store, like neodymium magnets or 57 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:36,000 something cheaper like that, and just see what I can find. We could totally build one. 58 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000 I think I could drill... 59 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,400 I bought it. 60 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:47,040 Yeah, I wonder if I could drill a hole into my A-pillar, see a magnet into it, glue it 61 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:54,280 in, and then just glue, obviously take the mount off the back of my handset, and just 62 00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:58,200 glue a magnet onto that. I wonder if that would work. 63 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,240 You might even be able to just dig some of the plastic out of the back of your A-pillar 64 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,200 so that the magnet doesn't even show through. It's just clean A-pillar. 65 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:12,280 Yeah, I mean, I've actually... So what a lot of people do with the FJ stuff is they actually 66 00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:17,920 put magnets on the other side of the plastic, and they just glue them to the other side 67 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,460 of the plastic with hot glue or whatever. And then they put them... They have a tablet 68 00:06:22,460 --> 00:06:29,400 mount like that, where they... Alex, you've seen how my radio is set up, how the tablet 69 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:35,320 there is. Well, they literally have the regular radio, the stock radio there, but they have 70 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,600 magnets on the other side of that plastic. And can they literally put their 11-inch tablet 71 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,440 and just pop it right there. So it's actually pretty cool. 72 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:55,480 So, Gavin, we're going to go to you. What is your favorite mod you've done to your truck? 73 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:04,480 Mine did change. I think originally... You think originally it was the fridge. It was 74 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:10,800 just so much nicer to have something like that. But I think as of late, a couple of 75 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:18,240 weeks ago, I installed a switch panel, much like the AuxBeam H, like the eight-button switch 76 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:25,920 panels. I think I got like a 12-button cheapo one from Amazon. And I installed that. Definitely 77 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:32,360 have never done anything like that before. But that is by far so far my favorite. It's 78 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:38,720 so much easier where my lighting is all in one area. Before I had switches underneath 79 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,240 my dash, I'd have to reach for them. I'd have to feel for which one was what because I didn't 80 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:51,720 know. I had a button and a switch. And then the amount of wiring I actually had going 81 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:57,640 to my battery, which Alex can confirm, it was crazy for all the lights that I had and 82 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:06,840 everything. I only have two chasers, but the wiring harnesses together plus two fog lights. 83 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:17,640 Yeah. So I think having that on, being able to minimize all that wiring was like awesome. 84 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,560 And then of course you could program that switch panel on the go so that you could change 85 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,640 it so that your lights flash if you're in an emergency situation. Or let's say Alex 86 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,800 and I are doing a recovery at three in the morning and we want people to see us in the 87 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,320 middle of a snowstorm. I can make those lights flash so that people actually understand, 88 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:42,640 Hey, we're on the trail, slow down, you know, whatever. So that is super nice. I could turn 89 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:48,200 the lights on and off. I could change the color of the LCD on the panel. It makes it 90 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:57,240 my, under the hood is much cleaned, cleaned up from wiring. And it also makes wiring new 91 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:02,200 lights much, much, much easier because now I just have to run the positive and negative 92 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:09,320 straight to that panel and then assign a button to it. And that's it. So it's, it's great. 93 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:18,080 And that is probably my favorite so far. Yeah, that's a, that's a good one. I actually, when 94 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:26,520 I did my battery relocation, I put just a, um, just a, uh, a relay box in there. I think 95 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:32,960 it's got 10 relays and then I just have to wire my switch to the relay and then the relay 96 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:40,000 to the light, but it's all in one spot. Easy to get to. Yeah. Like just having that universal 97 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,880 bat, uh, location for power is so nice. Oh yeah, absolutely. I think eventually I'll 98 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:53,640 hook up a like power. So like my, my fridge right now, it can be charged off of like an 99 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:59,480 electric cigarette lighter. Um, so eventually when I wire that new cigarette lighter into 100 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:05,400 the side of my, uh, or, you know, or plug or whatever I decide to do into the side of 101 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,240 my FJ, where I'm going to plug my fridge into, I'm going to wire that power to that panel 102 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,920 so that I can turn that on and off so that it doesn't continually charge my fridge while 103 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:23,800 I'm, uh, you know, while I'm, um, parked, but if I need to, I can keep it on and charge 104 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,320 while my ignition's off and everything. So to be able to have that, yeah, to be able 105 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:35,280 to have that, uh, choice is what I want. So what about you, Alex? What's your favorite? 106 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:40,400 This is still your, uh, I think we talked about this once way back in the beginning 107 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:49,440 and our first season for a long time. Uh, my favorite was my quick deflators. Yep. Because 108 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:55,480 I think our first episode is when we talked about this probably, um, but yeah, my quick 109 00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:01,920 deflators were my favorite for really, really long time because when it, you know, you get 110 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:07,000 to the spot, you're aired down, ready to go and ready, just go bullshit with people in, 111 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,320 you know, 30 seconds or less and no one else airs down as fast as I do. So I get aired 112 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:21,120 down and I've got five, 10 minutes to sit and bullshit with people. Um, then, but now, 113 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:27,640 uh, my favorite is probably my packouts. Um, the pack, just the pack out mounts themselves. 114 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:33,760 I won't even say the boxes. Uh, the boxes are really nice, but what's nice about it 115 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,720 is that I can just lock them into a pack out mount and never have to worry about strapping 116 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,960 them down, tying anything down. It's just click in their locks. They're going to stay 117 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:50,800 put and that is a huge benefit. And specifically the ones that you may have, they're metal 118 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:57,000 and not just the plastic ones. You have to modify out. I'm sure the plastic ones we would 119 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:05,520 have broken by now, but the metal ones are rock solid. Right. Well, I think that's, uh, 120 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:12,200 that's, that's a really good upgrade, uh, and a really good pick. I was, I was wondering 121 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,400 if it was going to be the same as what you were saying last, which was the deflators. 122 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:22,040 Yeah. I mean, I love my deflators. Don't get me wrong. They're probably my second favorite 123 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:29,960 one. Hmm. Hmm. Hey, so I actually have a question that I just was thinking about randomly and 124 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:35,000 for time's sake, I'm going to ask it anyway. Um, it's a little off topic, but what's your 125 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:47,320 guys's favorite state forest campground in Michigan? Okay. This is a good, you've been 126 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,200 to a couple cause we went to the one up by the porcupine mountains too. Oh, yeah. Oh, 127 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:59,800 wait. State forest campground. Yeah. Like take up or the little loop actual campground 128 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:09,700 or like a favorite state forest. Um, I'm thinking campground. Honestly, I, there's so many in 129 00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:17,680 Michigan and I'm, there's like, there's one in Noeigo. Um, which I'm sure much been to, 130 00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:27,920 right? Uh, soccer. I never, my favorite state campground is Hungerford Lake. Um, yeah. Or 131 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:33,120 pigeon river, either hunger for the lake or pigeon river. We do a lot of, my family does 132 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:40,360 horses. Uh, so we've done a lot of horse camping. So those that's hard. So hunger for it is 133 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:46,080 really great because it's close and beautiful, but pigeon river, you get to ride horses with 134 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:54,440 elk. So honestly, I'd say pigeon river is my favorite state forest campground, but my 135 00:13:54,440 --> 00:14:01,200 favorite campground in the state has to be D bar D up in chase Michigan. That's not just 136 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:10,640 because my grandpa owns it and my family runs it. It's the best campground in the state. 137 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:16,440 I would say for me, um, and I, you know, I can't remember any of the ones that I've been 138 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:22,440 to in the UP. I've been to a few of them in the UP, but, uh, I will say the one that comes 139 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,020 to mind right now is the Leland all state park. Um, that's already, that's all the way 140 00:14:27,020 --> 00:14:33,360 on the very tip of Leland, all, uh, peninsula and Michigan. And it was gorgeous, man. There 141 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,040 was a, there were cedar tree campgrounds that were just cedar trees. And then you have all 142 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:43,760 the fine needles on the ground right up against the, you know, the lake. It was absolutely 143 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:51,440 gorgeous. It wasn't super overcrowded. Um, they had a beautiful little, um, uh, lighthouse 144 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,900 and a little gift shop even in that same park. And it was just gorgeous. It was such a fun 145 00:14:55,900 --> 00:15:04,040 place to take my son. Yeah. I have not been there, but we should do a botches weekend 146 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,360 trip up there. One of these, yeah. Yeah. Just maybe just a fun one just to go up to Leland 147 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:15,560 all and just maybe not really any wheeling, just camping. Yeah. Fun. Honestly, just like 148 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:22,240 the families up to state park and do three campsites and it's only like 20 bucks a night. 149 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:27,880 So it's like, it's not like a crazy amount. Do we even need three campsites? A lot of 150 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,920 state campgrounds will let you have two tents on a site. Yeah. It'll be like two tents or 151 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,760 vehicles, but I just said three just for gearing and everything. Just to have it kind of have 152 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:43,440 it separated. But if we could just do two men that would save us a boatload of money, 153 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:49,800 like 20 bucks a night. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm down. I mean, I, when I went, I, they 154 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:55,120 gave me one of the hosts campsite because they had no campsites left. And I'm like, 155 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,160 we just got here and my kid is not happy. And the lady was nice enough to give me the 156 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:04,600 host campsite because there was no host at that time. So, so I mean, I've had nothing 157 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:10,000 good to say about that place. The bathrooms were really very clean. It smelled very good. 158 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:19,040 They didn't smell like a bunch of crap. They had massive showers. No, but there was a lake. 159 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:25,840 So Oh, well, you know, beating off in a lake is a lot less, a lot more frowned upon the 160 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:31,280 beaten off in a shower. There's a lot of lake buddy. And I don't know if the sunset that 161 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:36,680 we saw, maybe I'll give you some clip art of, of my wife playing with my son and the 162 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:44,360 sunset behind her, but, or for chapter art, but the, the, the, the views were pretty great. 163 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:52,800 So not the worst place to beat off, to be honest. Not that we're beating off in state 164 00:16:52,800 --> 00:17:01,120 parks or anything. We do not, we do not condone beating off in Pope's Lake. No, no, we don't. 165 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:07,960 But I'm just saying if it was to happen and you're that kind of person, which we are not, 166 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:14,520 but if you were, it's a beautiful area to do it. Just like a two hearted campground 167 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:20,280 area up there. Like we wouldn't condone you beating off on the suspension bridge, but 168 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:28,480 it would be a hell of a place to put on here in your notebook or your diary of favorite 169 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:33,480 beat off locations. That's all I have to say. Your sock drawer. Yeah. Not my favorite beat 170 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:40,920 off location, but one out of 10 wasn't easy to get into. 171 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:48,720 Back on topic on the forest campgrounds. Yeah. Yeah. What about, yeah. Yeah. Speaking of, 172 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:54,120 yeah, Mark, what's your favorite? I've only been to two. I think my favorite one so far 173 00:17:54,120 --> 00:18:00,960 has been the Caryville state forest campground. That's part of the main ST loop. Is that actually 174 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:07,080 the most data for Labor Day? What? Two years ago? Yep. That's a great campground. That 175 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,560 is a good campground. And you can literally drive right on the trail, right at campground 176 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:19,640 site. So many side by sides and they like to hit runners. Well, specifically on Labor 177 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:25,720 Day weekend. Yeah. Specifically Labor Day weekend. It's specifically my forerunner that 178 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:31,440 was in the back of the group for whatever reason. Yeah. I've never heard of that. Maybe 179 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,640 we'll have to check that out. I really love scouting out these areas and I'd like to do 180 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:42,020 more weekends where we can just go out for a weekend, do a real low budget, not crazy 181 00:18:42,020 --> 00:18:47,120 wheeling even maybe just do a camp. And yeah, I think we got to just try to get out more 182 00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:53,760 this next summer. Remember we're halfway dead. We only have 30 more years, give or take, 183 00:18:53,760 --> 00:19:00,680 depending on our eating. Your plan on dying at 60. I'm planning. Dude, I was planning 184 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:07,760 at dying at 20. I'm surprised I made it this far. I just hit 30 and I'm like, now what? 185 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:16,040 I definitely have like another 50 years because I'm going to die at 80 in space. So I've got 186 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:24,200 at least 50 years left over. Sure. You know, let me say usable years. That's my biggest 187 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:29,760 thing. And not to not to jump down this topic too much, but like I was talking to a guy 188 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,440 who's who I was working with. He's like, I can't wait to you just bought a brand new 189 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:42,200 Colorado. So it's like a 2019 with 7,400 miles. The first owner died and just never drove 190 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:47,000 it. And he's like, I can't wait to build this thing up a little bit and just take it around 191 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,440 the country touring. You know, he's not overlining or anything, I don't think. But just to around 192 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:58,400 the country and live in the back of this. And I'm like, dude, you're like almost 70. 193 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,960 Why are you waiting so long? Why? Why? It's like the earlier generations wait till they're 194 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:11,480 almost too broken to do it. And I don't know, man. My grandpa's in his late seventies and 195 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:17,040 he runs a campground and gets on a horse every day. Yeah. I mean, of course, it just depends. 196 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:23,960 But to me, I hear people talk like that. I'm like, why would you wait till you retire? 197 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:30,960 Like you have you have so much. I mean, let's say you retire at 60 or 65. You had probably 198 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:40,360 20 to 40, 50 good years there where you could have been out doing stuff and living life 199 00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:44,840 and making other types of memories. Instead, you're like, nope, got to keep it to the man 200 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,560 and got to keep keep working and working and working until I get my nice pension. And it's 201 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,880 like that's that was a I think that was a thought that was instilled on our fathers 202 00:20:54,880 --> 00:21:01,440 and grandfathers. But that was also in a different time where the country cared about you a little 203 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:07,520 bit more than it does now. And in my opinion, corporations care about you. Right. The living 204 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:15,320 wage never cared about you. No smaller ones. We just had we just had this conversation 205 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:22,480 about the radium girls. Yes. Right. Yeah. Unfortunately, the fact that there are people 206 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,680 that don't even know about that is crazy. But if you've never heard of the radium girls, 207 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:31,960 please read it up. It's it's a very sad story, but it's it's a lesson. It's a lesson that 208 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:40,960 was needed to be taught and learned. Unfortunately, but and sadly, being radioactive does not 209 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:47,840 give you superpowers. No, not not not by what they were not by radium. No. But back then, 210 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:54,740 they were using radium for everything. Is your baby fussy here? Here's a radium tincture. 211 00:21:54,740 --> 00:22:01,600 So it was it was being mass marketed as being something healthy. Like so many other things 212 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:11,400 in life like the pyramid or lead makeup, the food pyramid that was lied to for so fucking 213 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:20,720 long. The food pyramid was definitely made to make us buy grains. That that is crazy. 214 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,040 And I found that out recently. And I know this is a mini so we're not going too crazy 215 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:32,880 about this conspiracy shit. But the fact that we were lied to by our own fucking like government 216 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:38,640 and facilities that we needed to buy more grain, how can you trust a fucking word that 217 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:45,280 they say? And the grain wasn't even the big one. It was the the sugars. What about this? 218 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:51,840 Because this what about the milk ads? I was about to say, are you crazy? Hold up. Milk 219 00:22:51,840 --> 00:23:01,720 is actually extremely important for the human body. However, pasteurized milk is not after 220 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:07,160 you boil that milk, you kill all the benefits as much as their heart been now telling us 221 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:12,400 not to buy raw milk, don't buy raw milk. Raw milk is by far the best thing for you. It 222 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:17,240 is the best if you're going to drink it. Yes, absolutely. Yes. Because what raw milk gives 223 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:24,720 you is well, one vitamins, too. It gives you it's a way to boost your immune system because 224 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,400 it exposes you to little bits of a virus, which then gives your body ways to fight it 225 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:35,000 off. Up until we started pasteurizing milk, and what was it the 70s? We started pasteurizing 226 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,840 milk, I don't even fully know. But anyways, whenever we started pasteurizing milk up to 227 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:45,840 that point, we actually use milk as a way to increase the immune system of human of humans. 228 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:54,120 Yeah, which so if you don't know this, it's much like honey, bees that produce honey in 229 00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:59,120 their area. It's always recommended that you eat honey from those bees in your local area 230 00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:06,160 because they make antibodies in their honey, which help you from getting sick. So it's 231 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:11,520 kind of like the same thing with mothers and their babies. Mothers, a lot of the times 232 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:18,520 will produce antibodies that actually go through their breast milk. And during their time, 233 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,120 if there's flu going around, or any other kind of sickness going around, their body 234 00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:29,720 automatically adjusts to what the baby is going to need and provides antibodies to help 235 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,480 the baby survive that. And it's the same thing with cows. So that's where that comes from 236 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:40,120 is it's their bodies adjusting to the local area and providing those antibodies to these 237 00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:45,800 kids and, you know, parents and all that. So it's, I guess it's, that's an important 238 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,080 point to make is that raw milk from your local area is what's good for you, not just raw 239 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,680 milk in general. Right. And of course, and this is another thing, I guess, we're not 240 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,660 saying you should just go out and buy raw milk from the first person you find either. 241 00:24:58,660 --> 00:25:03,680 If you do, if you are interested, do your research, buy from someone who's reputable, 242 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:08,680 who's clean, because a lot of the issues that happen with raw milk are because it's either 243 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,560 as some kind of, I can't remember the illness or the what is the reason why they started 244 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,920 doing it. Can't remember what it's called, although I should, people will make fun of 245 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:18,920 it. 246 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,800 Oh, pasteurization, pasteurization is another one. Pasteurization is definitely one of those 247 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:31,120 scams that the milk industry pushed the government to make it illegal or make it requirement 248 00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:36,760 to pasteurize because the cost of the equipment to properly pasteurize milk is so high that 249 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:42,240 they pushed out local dairies. That's how we ended up with big dairy problems is that 250 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,360 they use pasteurization as a way to kill off local dairies. 251 00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:52,840 And it did very well. My, my grandparents had a dairy farm that was eventually pushed 252 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:59,160 out. They were one of the biggest, I think, what was it, Prairie Farms? Is that one of 253 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:06,680 the milk suppliers? They were, they did a lot of milk for those guys. So yeah, it sucks. 254 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:14,520 But it's, it's, it's important stuff. But we digress out of this, all this conspiracy 255 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:23,600 stuff, right? Out of the milk conspiracy, the bread and the wheat conspiracies. Hell, 256 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,000 there was, I mean, a red meat conspiracy for the longest time not to eat red meat. And 257 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,720 your doctors were telling you not to. And now it turns out it's great for you. And now 258 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:38,360 it's got almost the reverse effect. It's supposed to help. And if you eat that almost by yourself, 259 00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:43,320 it's supposed to, it's supposed to help. And there's been plenty of people who have done 260 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:48,120 this carnivore diet that you've been hearing around that have just swear up and down that 261 00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:53,560 they feel so much better. And I don't know, when you look at what we were doing back when 262 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:59,680 we were native to the wild and, you know, 10,000 years ago, what was our diet consisting 263 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:07,200 of? It makes way more sense that we're eating 80% meat and very few nuts and grains and, 264 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:13,280 you know, and maybe it makes more sense for us to be changing that throughout the year. 265 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:18,840 So maybe we should be eating more meat in the summers and maybe eating more fruits and dried 266 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,400 meats in the winters. And, you know, it just depends. 267 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:26,120 I flip that around. You'd be eating more meat, you'd be eating more meats in the winters 268 00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:30,040 and more fruits and veggies and stuff in the summer. 269 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,960 Because it's there, right? Like, yeah, that makes more sense. That's kind of what I was 270 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:42,600 trying to say and I got backwards. But, and it's really good for you to eat local produce 271 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:49,400 in the proper season. So yeah, that means you can't just make a fucking taco on a Tuesday 272 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:55,040 night in the wintertime, but it's a really big deal for you to be eating those tomatoes 273 00:27:55,040 --> 00:28:00,760 and stuff in the right season because it also helps you prepare yourself for that season. 274 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,600 Yeah. Fun fact, tomatoes aren't actually ripe when you get them in the grocery store in 275 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:12,400 the middle of winter. They are ripened via gas during transport that actually changes 276 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,040 the color of the tomato from green to red. So everything you know is a lie. The government 277 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:23,840 lies to you. And what you need to do is grow your own food, not listen to the government, 278 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:29,840 but listen to Botch's Off-Road Podcast. And listen to Botch's Off-Road Podcast for your 279 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:40,640 weekly and very frequent conspiracy ideas, apparently. And start homesteading. And on 280 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:46,120 that note, we'll catch you guys later. Botch's Conspiracies. Yeah. Oh, look, there's flashlights 281 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:55,040 at my door. And on that note, catch you guys later. Yeah, rack of light on my handgun. 282 00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:16,760 We'll talk to you later. Later.
