WEBVTT

00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:20.940
Welcome to Botches Off -Road. You know, we're

00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:26.059
all getting older. Mark is, what, 29 now? 28.

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:30.120
We'll be 29. I'm 28 right now. I just turned

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.820
30, and Gavin's this old man at 31. Yeah. Yeah.

00:00:35.219 --> 00:00:39.659
And it's got me thinking. I'm at my midlife crisis

00:00:39.659 --> 00:00:45.039
stage right now. I can't see myself. you know

00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.979
getting past 60 i didn't see myself getting to

00:00:47.979 --> 00:00:51.039
30 and that was just because i thought i'd die

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:55.380
natural causes nothing nothing crazy but uh so

00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:58.219
i've been thinking a lot about you know i've

00:00:58.219 --> 00:01:00.759
been trying to find a good full -time job and

00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:05.379
my resume is decent for sales but man i don't

00:01:05.379 --> 00:01:08.140
want to do sales the rest of my life i looked

00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:11.840
up camping jobs and they have like seasonal park

00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.859
uh like attendance that i like live in i'm like

00:01:15.859 --> 00:01:18.980
well i don't want to live in one spot all summer

00:01:18.980 --> 00:01:21.319
like i want to be able to travel so that's not

00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:24.099
gonna work so i've just been thinking about it

00:01:24.099 --> 00:01:27.799
man and i don't know man thought i thought about

00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.260
being our own worst enemy for a while i always

00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:36.060
wanted to as a kid and i thought maybe oh dnr

00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:38.980
officer yeah yeah i saw mark kind of cock his

00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:42.239
head a little bit like but No, I mean, I always

00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.640
wanted to be an officer when I was younger. Fuck,

00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:47.519
now I'm 30. I don't know if I could get through

00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.719
all the physical PT requirements. But I'm going

00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.859
to, I don't know, we'll see. I'm going to try

00:01:52.859 --> 00:01:55.719
to get myself into good shape, and then I'll

00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:00.480
go from there. But that right now, like, I can't

00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.140
figure out what I want to do. Like, I thought

00:02:02.140 --> 00:02:05.500
traveling the country and making YouTube videos

00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:09.000
and doing all that was going to be it. And I

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.650
really wanted to, but. I just don't have the

00:02:11.650 --> 00:02:13.750
front end budget to do it. You know what I mean?

00:02:13.849 --> 00:02:17.889
Like you, unless one of us wins some like crazy

00:02:17.889 --> 00:02:21.789
amount of money, like, and we just start throwing

00:02:21.789 --> 00:02:24.629
checks at each other. And I mean, anybody like

00:02:24.629 --> 00:02:28.270
me or my wife or something. And we just start,

00:02:28.370 --> 00:02:30.770
you know, we have a bazillion dollars all of

00:02:30.770 --> 00:02:33.270
a sudden, or one of my family members dies and

00:02:33.270 --> 00:02:36.569
leaves me a house. Like I can just sell it and

00:02:36.569 --> 00:02:38.590
travel for a few years and put everything I got

00:02:38.590 --> 00:02:41.960
into it. Like, there's just not something that

00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.259
especially not with like gas prices at like five

00:02:44.259 --> 00:02:48.939
six seven dollars a gallon no it's just not something

00:02:48.939 --> 00:02:52.520
you can do right now unless you have like a really

00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:56.819
good job to help you start out so yeah try to

00:02:56.819 --> 00:02:59.680
try to find a career path that lets me be outdoors

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:07.219
in nature um which is what i enjoy and have you

00:03:07.219 --> 00:03:11.310
thought about Farming. Yeah, I did. I thought

00:03:11.310 --> 00:03:15.629
about it. There was actually a turkey. There

00:03:15.629 --> 00:03:19.069
was a $30 -something an hour turkey farm job.

00:03:20.150 --> 00:03:22.729
And I thought about it. And then I remember everything

00:03:22.729 --> 00:03:26.270
that you talked about. And I was like, nah. Wait,

00:03:26.370 --> 00:03:28.550
you didn't send that to me? No, I thought it

00:03:28.550 --> 00:03:32.789
was from your company. No way. My company's paying

00:03:32.789 --> 00:03:36.389
$30 an hour. Who's paying? They might if they

00:03:36.389 --> 00:03:39.930
didn't include housing. I don't know. No, that

00:03:39.930 --> 00:03:42.090
sounds like some Sitesma stuff. Yeah, it was

00:03:42.090 --> 00:03:49.189
Sitesma. That's not my company. I might have

00:03:49.189 --> 00:03:53.129
to, you know, just in case one of my bosses is

00:03:53.129 --> 00:03:56.650
listening, I'm not going anywhere. I'm not on

00:03:56.650 --> 00:03:59.169
the Sitesma website looking at careers right

00:03:59.169 --> 00:04:02.370
now. His monitor lit up, though, like he is.

00:04:03.750 --> 00:04:06.870
yeah yeah i saw it though it was earlier today

00:04:06.870 --> 00:04:09.430
that i remembered everything that you talked

00:04:09.430 --> 00:04:13.389
about and i was like i'm good i don't think so

00:04:13.389 --> 00:04:19.350
so uh the the issue is is i'm i'm pretty over

00:04:19.350 --> 00:04:22.730
right right now so like getting into a super

00:04:22.730 --> 00:04:25.129
physically demanding job will fuck me up really

00:04:25.129 --> 00:04:28.569
quick if i just start like i don't have any conditioning

00:04:28.569 --> 00:04:32.449
so if i was to start like concrete tomorrow I

00:04:32.449 --> 00:04:35.829
would, like, throw my fucking back out instantly.

00:04:36.889 --> 00:04:41.870
And that sounds like a wussy response. I just

00:04:41.870 --> 00:04:47.069
know my body. Like, I fractured my L5 years ago,

00:04:47.189 --> 00:04:50.350
and I know, and I always think that I can go

00:04:50.350 --> 00:04:52.629
back to working hard like I always do. Like,

00:04:52.709 --> 00:04:55.009
I chopped, like, a couple cords of wood earlier

00:04:55.009 --> 00:04:59.259
this year. And after splitting a couple cords

00:04:59.259 --> 00:05:01.120
of wood and throwing all the wood, I was like,

00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.879
fuck. Like, my back was killing me and stuff.

00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.500
So I know I can't just go straight back and assume

00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:09.240
that I'm going to do well. Like, I got to build

00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.459
that muscle back up. But that's why I got to

00:05:13.459 --> 00:05:15.699
condition, get myself back in better shape for

00:05:15.699 --> 00:05:18.060
whatever I'm doing, just for life in general.

00:05:18.259 --> 00:05:22.000
That's a big thing. Like, I think I let it go

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:23.600
for a while because I'm like, well, I can still

00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:29.889
run. If I need to. Okay. A little side comment

00:05:29.889 --> 00:05:33.410
here. So, Seismos has a farm manager position

00:05:33.410 --> 00:05:43.870
in Coral right now? That's the one. Yeah. Dude,

00:05:44.110 --> 00:05:46.709
it's good money. It's the same exact thing you're

00:05:46.709 --> 00:05:50.509
doing. Yeah, well, and pay is based on experience.

00:05:50.970 --> 00:05:57.610
Yeah. Bet that trailer's looking pretty good

00:05:57.610 --> 00:06:01.670
all of a sudden. It does not have house for it

00:06:01.670 --> 00:06:08.449
right away, so I'd have to talk. I'd call him

00:06:08.449 --> 00:06:10.430
up, give him a call, be like, hey, man, this

00:06:10.430 --> 00:06:14.269
is what's going on. This is my situation I'm

00:06:14.269 --> 00:06:17.459
currently in. But, dude. This is all the fucking

00:06:17.459 --> 00:06:20.740
experience I have. This is my loss. This is how

00:06:20.740 --> 00:06:23.139
much I make in bonus because I don't let them

00:06:23.139 --> 00:06:25.639
die. You know, like, just lay it out for them.

00:06:25.660 --> 00:06:29.540
Let them know that you're worth it. Yeah, my

00:06:29.540 --> 00:06:31.720
thing is, though, I'm kind of waiting for something

00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.899
to happen where they can't keep this farm for

00:06:34.899 --> 00:06:38.480
some reason and Saitama buys it anyway. Because

00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.480
I don't, I really like where I live. Yeah, but

00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.339
you got to think, like, if they can't keep the

00:06:45.339 --> 00:06:47.439
farm, they're probably going to sell everything

00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:51.740
with it. Well, that's the point. If they sell

00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:55.220
it, who's going to buy it would be Sitesma's.

00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.000
And if Sitesma's buys it, it's going to keep

00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.439
me as a manager. Well, is it? Or are they going

00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.100
to parcel it up and sell the property and the

00:07:04.100 --> 00:07:07.759
other stuff? It's not worth as much if they parcel

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.680
it up. They'll sell it whole. Yeah, but I don't

00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:16.519
know. I know that Sitesmuzz has showed interest

00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:20.680
in buying this place. And it makes more sense

00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:25.160
for Sitesmuzz, too. The company that owns my

00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.079
farm, they're all based out of Allendale. Everything's

00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:32.199
in Allendale. Sitesmuzz is two miles away from

00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.839
me on one direction and four miles on the other.

00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:39.139
So we're all would be in the same area. Yeah,

00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:43.670
it makes more sense. But, yeah, I just, I don't

00:07:43.670 --> 00:07:46.370
know. Mark, what do you think? Are you going

00:07:46.370 --> 00:07:49.149
to, you do like what, directional drilling? What

00:07:49.149 --> 00:07:51.550
is that technically? Yeah, underground boring.

00:07:52.050 --> 00:07:53.810
Is that something you're going to stay at for

00:07:53.810 --> 00:07:56.050
the rest of your life, or do you have a dream

00:07:56.050 --> 00:08:01.589
to do something else? I haven't decided if I'm

00:08:01.589 --> 00:08:03.949
going to stick with it after a couple years.

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.899
There's been stuff going around the rumor mill

00:08:06.899 --> 00:08:09.180
about the company may or may not get purchased

00:08:09.180 --> 00:08:12.160
at some point in the next five years, but I don't

00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:17.540
know much about that. Right. I know I need to

00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:20.339
work on it. I need to get my CDL. That way I

00:08:20.339 --> 00:08:25.279
can do something in case I dig it by out. And

00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:29.540
I didn't want to stick with boring anymore. lifeline

00:08:29.540 --> 00:08:32.519
that i can do anything with yeah i know and i've

00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:36.580
been looking at cdl too i if i go on adhd medication

00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:39.899
again like i should i start you know actually

00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:42.379
follow through with it i could probably get a

00:08:42.379 --> 00:08:46.059
cdl and stuff i think that my biggest fear is

00:08:46.059 --> 00:08:50.299
like take like taking the wrong turn and going

00:08:50.299 --> 00:08:53.879
down on one of those bridges or something But

00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.259
I thought about it, and it's like every four

00:08:56.259 --> 00:09:01.460
job posting is a CDL hire job. Like propane,

00:09:01.539 --> 00:09:05.779
Amerigas right now is hiring for like 28 or 32

00:09:05.779 --> 00:09:09.919
an hour for a propane driver. Dude, you should

00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.620
do it. You should do it so you can be like Hank

00:09:12.620 --> 00:09:17.639
Kill. Propane, propane accessories. It's just

00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:23.389
a very good thing to have. I don't know if I

00:09:23.389 --> 00:09:26.730
can do it right now with my mental state. I can't

00:09:26.730 --> 00:09:28.850
even remember what the fuck I put on when I'm

00:09:28.850 --> 00:09:36.710
wearing it. I'm really hoping that my hot shot

00:09:36.710 --> 00:09:38.789
business kind of takes off so I can just quit

00:09:38.789 --> 00:09:41.129
my job and do that full time. Yeah, hire me for

00:09:41.129 --> 00:09:45.429
something. I don't know what. I'm good for 40

00:09:45.429 --> 00:09:48.090
hours a week, Monday through Friday, some weekends,

00:09:48.509 --> 00:09:52.789
on call. Don't worry. You could do 40 hours a

00:09:52.789 --> 00:09:55.809
week. That's fine. You can do eight hours a day,

00:09:55.909 --> 00:09:57.629
but you've got to sleep somewhere other than

00:09:57.629 --> 00:10:01.750
home every night except for weekends. Yeah, that

00:10:01.750 --> 00:10:08.389
sucks. Maybe in the future if something goes

00:10:08.389 --> 00:10:11.210
wrong in life, you know what I mean? That'll

00:10:11.210 --> 00:10:16.899
be the trick, but for now. At least for the first

00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:19.899
couple of years, we plan on sleeping in swags

00:10:19.899 --> 00:10:22.159
so we don't even have to get hotel rooms. Oh,

00:10:22.179 --> 00:10:25.539
yeah. We're starting a hot shop business with

00:10:25.539 --> 00:10:29.419
the bare minimum amount of money. We don't have

00:10:29.419 --> 00:10:34.100
anything. It's going to be job to job. That would

00:10:34.100 --> 00:10:38.639
be such a cool job if you were making good money

00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:42.500
and then didn't have a set schedule or family,

00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:48.230
though. like to hot shot and then like have an

00:10:48.230 --> 00:10:51.970
extra long trailer with your rig on it and like

00:10:51.970 --> 00:10:55.809
hot shot across the country and then once you're

00:10:55.809 --> 00:10:59.909
done with that job take two days and like go

00:10:59.909 --> 00:11:02.110
let's say you had the hot shot to like denver

00:11:02.110 --> 00:11:05.029
colorado and you can go around colorado for a

00:11:05.029 --> 00:11:09.149
couple days chill go back home and then hot shot

00:11:09.149 --> 00:11:11.190
out to the next place in the u .s and that would

00:11:11.190 --> 00:11:14.440
just be such a cool number one, it would be a

00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:17.960
really cool YouTube series. Someone was doing

00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.399
that, you know, get a really small truck, like

00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.679
a CJ or something that you could fit on a trailer

00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.720
and not take up a lot of space. And then, or

00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.559
even like a quad or razor really, if you want

00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.340
to do it, it'd be really get like one of those

00:11:31.340 --> 00:11:37.419
rocks or the old CJ to a, but modern clone. It's

00:11:37.419 --> 00:11:39.740
a side -by -side technically, but it's literally

00:11:39.740 --> 00:11:43.340
a Jeep. Yeah. The one made by Mahindra. That'd

00:11:43.340 --> 00:11:46.419
be so sick, dude. We've been joking about getting

00:11:46.419 --> 00:11:48.879
some e -bikes. Oh, for sure. And putting them

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.340
on the trailer just to bum around with. Well,

00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.799
I think you should do something like that anyways.

00:11:54.940 --> 00:12:00.320
Just for the sake of with you and what are you

00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:04.879
guys' trailer? 20, 30 foot long trailer? 42.

00:12:05.950 --> 00:12:08.129
It's not super accessible, but be able to park

00:12:08.129 --> 00:12:10.509
it at a lot or park it at a truck stop. Exactly.

00:12:10.509 --> 00:12:13.289
Take those e -bikes and go hop down the road

00:12:13.289 --> 00:12:17.330
and grab some supplies or do whatever. I know

00:12:17.330 --> 00:12:21.929
in camping and stuff, I had an old -timer that

00:12:21.929 --> 00:12:25.970
camped. And he did, like, camper camping, like

00:12:25.970 --> 00:12:29.789
towed it behind his truck. But he had one of

00:12:29.789 --> 00:12:33.129
those mini bikes, like the little mini Coleman

00:12:33.129 --> 00:12:36.049
bikes. And he took that to putz around the campground

00:12:36.049 --> 00:12:37.909
with and, like, deliver his garbage. He had a

00:12:37.909 --> 00:12:40.210
little basket in the back of it. Deliver his

00:12:40.210 --> 00:12:42.549
garbage. And, like, he would run to town on it

00:12:42.549 --> 00:12:44.529
and grab a couple groceries and come back to

00:12:44.529 --> 00:12:50.509
camp on it. Like, it'd just be cool just to have

00:12:50.509 --> 00:12:53.149
that little extra mobility around you. But I

00:12:53.149 --> 00:12:55.649
think that would be such a cool. I don't see.

00:12:55.750 --> 00:12:57.889
I don't know. I don't look up hot shot people.

00:12:58.549 --> 00:13:00.950
But I don't know if there's anybody out there

00:13:00.950 --> 00:13:03.149
that's, like, doing hot shot and then, like.

00:13:03.710 --> 00:13:06.970
also wheeling while they're out you know yeah

00:13:06.970 --> 00:13:11.230
that would be a really cool youtube series i

00:13:11.230 --> 00:13:16.509
should get a honda moto compo uh that's the little

00:13:16.509 --> 00:13:19.009
honda scooter that like folds up and fits in

00:13:19.009 --> 00:13:21.889
the trunk of a city oh hell yeah yeah i've seen

00:13:21.889 --> 00:13:25.350
those those are cool hey which what's the company

00:13:25.350 --> 00:13:27.669
that's got them as like briefcases is that the

00:13:27.669 --> 00:13:31.870
honda that's got the honda does one too the moto

00:13:31.870 --> 00:13:40.210
compacto Do they see me rolling? I'm just wearing

00:13:40.210 --> 00:13:42.350
my little, like, scooter helmet. Yeah, dude.

00:13:43.289 --> 00:13:46.629
10 miles an hour. Get a Vespa. Throw a Vespa

00:13:46.629 --> 00:13:51.909
in the truck bed. That'd be sick. Put a cage

00:13:51.909 --> 00:13:55.090
on it. Get a one wheel. Yeah. Yeah, dude. Those

00:13:55.090 --> 00:13:58.950
are sick. Yeah. No, we'll do something, because

00:13:58.950 --> 00:14:02.100
it would be nice to just, you know. park the

00:14:02.100 --> 00:14:04.080
truck lock it up and then be able to like run

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:07.639
into town and do something um especially because

00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.559
of the way we plan on doing it we plan on kind

00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.340
of not necessarily campgrounds but kind of some

00:14:13.340 --> 00:14:17.139
rustic camping wherever we can um just just to

00:14:17.139 --> 00:14:20.419
save money dude like you know hotel rooms roughly

00:14:20.419 --> 00:14:22.740
a hundred dollars a night what if we don't have

00:14:22.740 --> 00:14:26.100
to pay that right just pop up a couple swags

00:14:26.100 --> 00:14:28.179
and live out of it oh i mean and the cool thing

00:14:28.179 --> 00:14:31.259
is is like forest roads and around a lot of like

00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:34.799
blm and stuff forest roads are completely campable

00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:38.179
you can camp on the sides of them so technically

00:14:38.179 --> 00:14:41.879
if you really wanted to you could pull to the

00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:43.539
side of one of these forest roads throw your

00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:47.620
swags on the back of the trailer and spend a

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:50.399
night in there pack up in the morning throw them

00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.620
in the back of the truck and go i mean and We've

00:14:54.620 --> 00:15:00.419
actually been discussing the possibility. Okay,

00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:02.480
at this point, it's beyond the possibility. We've

00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:06.019
been planning for taking the center console out

00:15:06.019 --> 00:15:08.200
of the truck and putting a fridge right there.

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:11.299
Yeah, that would make great sense. It makes so

00:15:11.299 --> 00:15:14.559
much sense, dude. Keep a 12 -pack in the back.

00:15:14.580 --> 00:15:16.980
Keep a couple of cans cold in there all the time.

00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:19.379
You can just grab whatever you want right from

00:15:19.379 --> 00:15:22.019
the driver or passenger seat. 12 -pack of soda,

00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.070
guys. 12 -pack of soda. They're not hot -shotting

00:15:25.070 --> 00:15:27.490
and drinking. This isn't Smokey and the Bandit.

00:15:28.690 --> 00:15:36.529
Right, yeah. 12 -pack of sodas. Did I not say

00:15:36.529 --> 00:15:38.769
a 12 -pack of pop? No, you just said a 12 -pack.

00:15:40.049 --> 00:15:42.830
I'm thinking Faygo here, guys. Yeah, Faygo. Grape

00:15:42.830 --> 00:15:49.210
Faygo. I was thinking grape soda. Does most of

00:15:49.210 --> 00:15:51.710
our listeners even know what a Faygo is? Yeah,

00:15:51.750 --> 00:15:53.549
that's a Michigan soda. That's why I said Faygo.

00:15:53.750 --> 00:15:56.250
That's why I said Faygo. Yeah, it's a Michigan

00:15:56.250 --> 00:16:00.049
soda drink. By the way, and this is a tangent,

00:16:00.169 --> 00:16:03.009
but this has got to do with camping and being

00:16:03.009 --> 00:16:06.289
better health. We've been drinking Fresca, and

00:16:06.289 --> 00:16:10.710
that is the best zero -calorie soda replacement

00:16:10.710 --> 00:16:14.789
we've tried yet. It's not quite sparkling water.

00:16:16.549 --> 00:16:19.669
It's more of a soda taste, but it's got zero

00:16:19.669 --> 00:16:22.960
calories. I've been digging the shit out of those.

00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:25.460
I mean, sparkling water's cool, but it tastes

00:16:25.460 --> 00:16:28.559
like fucking paint remnants inside of water.

00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:32.519
Like, I feel like I would get asbestos poisoning

00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:37.419
from it, or, like, lead paint poisoning. That's,

00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.360
like, the aftertaste I get from, like, Waterloo

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:46.100
or La Croix. And I did that all summer while

00:16:46.100 --> 00:16:49.820
we were at camp. And I can't say that I sat down

00:16:49.820 --> 00:16:52.200
in my camp chair and was like, I can't wait to

00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:56.080
crack open my LaCroix. I can't say that. Like,

00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.980
Fresca's, I can do that. So that's going to be

00:16:59.980 --> 00:17:02.879
our new, like, all -around drink. They're refreshing.

00:17:03.059 --> 00:17:05.400
You can bring them to camp, and they're still

00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:08.759
zero calorie. You know, there's a lot of calories

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:13.740
in a fucking soda, dude. I have pretty much completely

00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:20.710
cut pop. I drink the low sugar, no artificial

00:17:20.710 --> 00:17:24.789
coloring Gatorades. They're fucking bomb, dude.

00:17:25.049 --> 00:17:29.230
Yeah, everything I drink is low sugar or no sugar

00:17:29.230 --> 00:17:32.789
and zero calorie right now. So it's either water

00:17:32.789 --> 00:17:37.049
or Fresca. I am completely, unless Fresca has

00:17:37.049 --> 00:17:39.390
caffeine, I don't remember if they do or not.

00:17:39.470 --> 00:17:42.890
I'm completely, like, I don't drink any caffeine

00:17:42.890 --> 00:17:44.829
or consume any caffeine right now, which is.

00:17:45.609 --> 00:17:51.390
If you knew me two years ago, I had four monsters

00:17:51.390 --> 00:17:54.990
on me in the morning at the gas station. And

00:17:54.990 --> 00:17:57.849
by the time I was out of work, those would be

00:17:57.849 --> 00:18:03.910
gone. And that was my daily thing. Or four bangs.

00:18:04.210 --> 00:18:06.809
Like bangs and even more. And I still would drink

00:18:06.809 --> 00:18:09.670
four of them, fuckers. So for me to be completely

00:18:09.670 --> 00:18:11.930
off of caffeine is like a huge thing. Because

00:18:11.930 --> 00:18:13.730
I've been hooked on that since I was like...

00:18:15.619 --> 00:18:20.519
16, 14, something like that. So now I just got

00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:24.599
to quit smoking. Oh, you're smoking now? Well,

00:18:24.779 --> 00:18:28.220
smoking, vaping, I do whatever I got. I still

00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:30.180
got a pack of cigarettes in my glove box for

00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:33.799
special occasions, you know, like my vape dyes

00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:35.880
or something. I'm like, I really need something

00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:42.390
real. I got to kick this pouch habit. But the

00:18:42.390 --> 00:18:44.490
problem is I like nicotine. I like the way I

00:18:44.490 --> 00:18:47.410
feel on nicotine. And it's an appetite suppressant,

00:18:47.430 --> 00:18:51.289
too. So it's like stopping it. So why am I so

00:18:51.289 --> 00:18:53.250
goddamn fat? Yeah, that's what I want to know.

00:18:53.849 --> 00:18:55.710
For me, it makes me scared because I'm like,

00:18:55.730 --> 00:18:57.910
I stop this and I start switching over to eating

00:18:57.910 --> 00:18:59.769
or something. I'm like, no, I'm not doing that.

00:19:00.430 --> 00:19:02.569
That's actually one of the reasons why I gained

00:19:02.569 --> 00:19:04.549
so much weight is because when I stopped vaping

00:19:04.549 --> 00:19:07.869
when Sienna was pregnant and after she had the

00:19:07.869 --> 00:19:11.029
baby. We would only eat fast food for the first

00:19:11.029 --> 00:19:13.150
couple months because we were all too fucking

00:19:13.150 --> 00:19:17.410
tired to cook or do anything. We couldn't do

00:19:17.410 --> 00:19:23.329
anything. And I quit smoking, so I was just binging

00:19:23.329 --> 00:19:26.829
and binging, and it was disgusting, dude. I'm

00:19:26.829 --> 00:19:29.009
so glad I'm over that now. I've actually lost

00:19:29.009 --> 00:19:34.930
weight. I was at 355 here a couple months ago.

00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:42.839
And I'm now at 324. Fuck. So I could fit into

00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:45.680
shorts that I couldn't before. You can't tell

00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.240
much when you look at me, but I feel better.

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.740
So that's good for me. Well, I must have found

00:19:52.740 --> 00:20:00.319
all of that because I went from 265 to 300. It's

00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:05.890
a slippery slope. Yeah. The thing that bugs me

00:20:05.890 --> 00:20:08.269
is I didn't change eating habits. I didn't change

00:20:08.269 --> 00:20:12.029
anything. I just went from being 260 to 300.

00:20:12.130 --> 00:20:15.130
You just get older. The same thing happened.

00:20:15.210 --> 00:20:18.190
I didn't change anything, and I went from 200

00:20:18.190 --> 00:20:22.009
to 260. I got a buddy who was in the Marines,

00:20:22.130 --> 00:20:28.829
and he was built, fucking jacked, six -pack abs,

00:20:29.269 --> 00:20:33.019
all that. he stopped you know he started getting

00:20:33.019 --> 00:20:36.099
older by the end of his four years he was struggling

00:20:36.099 --> 00:20:39.420
to keep weight in the marines then he got out

00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:42.099
kept his same eating habits without doing pt

00:20:42.099 --> 00:20:45.480
or anything and fucking he went from like 180

00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:51.740
jacked to like almost 300 and was like i i seen

00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:53.779
him after like a few years i'm like holy shit

00:20:53.779 --> 00:20:56.579
you're as fat as i am and he goes yeah i got

00:20:56.579 --> 00:21:01.619
out I was 200 pounds when I got out of the Army,

00:21:01.740 --> 00:21:04.900
and within that first year, I had hit 280, and

00:21:04.900 --> 00:21:08.019
then I cut it back to 260, and now I went up

00:21:08.019 --> 00:21:11.839
to 300. It's hard. And every year you get older,

00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:14.839
it's harder to maintain your metabolism. Everything

00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.539
starts slowing down. You start getting more achy,

00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:20.980
so you don't want to do shit as much. Everything

00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:24.180
fucking hurts now. Yeah, nobody talks about that.

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:29.039
You got me at maintain 310 for two years. You

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.059
got to maintain 310 for her? No, my weight has

00:21:32.059 --> 00:21:35.160
been 310. It has not gone up or down for two

00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:37.759
years. Yeah, you're a young buck. You're not

00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.259
even 29 yet. I was going to say, I bet you if

00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:43.660
you cut your portions down and went to sugar

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:46.380
-free, zero calorie, as much as you could find,

00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:49.420
that's what helped me. When I start shopping

00:21:49.420 --> 00:21:54.099
now, any cheese, I'll try to get zero calorie

00:21:54.099 --> 00:21:57.339
or fat -free, anything like that. It's good for

00:21:57.339 --> 00:21:59.660
camping, too, because I indulge when I camp.

00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.079
And when I'm off -roading and stuff, I always

00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:05.599
bring snacks. So I tend to binge when I'm out

00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:07.559
there doing that stuff because I just eat and

00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.799
eat. Or when we do three -day camp trips, I'll

00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:14.200
just eat because we can, because we're camping.

00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.799
And I use that as an excuse to, like, well, we're

00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:19.940
out there. We're going to enjoy our time. Let's

00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:23.509
just eat whatever we want. So that kind of gives

00:22:23.509 --> 00:22:25.789
me a cheat code to keep things leveled out a

00:22:25.789 --> 00:22:28.829
little bit. Instead of going from a bag of chips,

00:22:28.869 --> 00:22:32.369
I'm going to popcorn, which is like you can get

00:22:32.369 --> 00:22:38.269
double the amount for less calories. I will admit

00:22:38.269 --> 00:22:40.390
I've been eating a shit ton of popcorn lately

00:22:40.390 --> 00:22:43.329
because I quit buying snacks, and I can just

00:22:43.329 --> 00:22:45.809
take my popcorn bucket to Wesco and get it filled

00:22:45.809 --> 00:22:48.349
for free. Yeah, but that butter is so bad for

00:22:48.349 --> 00:22:51.569
you, though. It is, but it's still better than

00:22:51.569 --> 00:22:54.869
me eating snacks all day. I do the Skinny Pop.

00:22:55.349 --> 00:22:59.950
It's like 100 calories per, it's like, what is

00:22:59.950 --> 00:23:02.690
it, cup, cup and a half? It's a good amount of

00:23:02.690 --> 00:23:06.549
popcorn. And so I'll eat that as a snack or on

00:23:06.549 --> 00:23:08.829
the side with like a sandwich or something, and

00:23:08.829 --> 00:23:13.390
I use low -calorie bread. That's like a big hit

00:23:13.390 --> 00:23:16.650
on us financially, is like going from $1 bread

00:23:16.650 --> 00:23:20.579
to $4 bread. and then you get have to get like

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:23.680
four or five loaves right because it's smaller

00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:27.920
too yeah but it all kind of goes out to like

00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:31.960
um this all kind of plays back like the weight

00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:34.859
thing the eating healthier smarter goes back

00:23:34.859 --> 00:23:38.740
into the whole camping it goes back into the

00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:41.539
off -road world and my career this all fits in

00:23:41.539 --> 00:23:44.750
for me we're talking about it Um, mainly because

00:23:44.750 --> 00:23:47.410
I'm just jabbering, but secondary because it

00:23:47.410 --> 00:23:50.769
does fit into multiple categories. And one is

00:23:50.769 --> 00:23:54.210
like, um, you don't really understand how hard

00:23:54.210 --> 00:23:58.390
it is to, unless you're overweight like me, um,

00:23:58.450 --> 00:24:01.750
how hard it is to shop for things, even camping.

00:24:01.990 --> 00:24:06.089
Let's say camping clothes. No, you can't buy

00:24:06.089 --> 00:24:10.670
like Q or Kiwi or whatever. Our tricks. You can't

00:24:10.670 --> 00:24:14.180
do a lot of REI clothing. You can't get like

00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:17.859
really good branded clothing because they don't

00:24:17.859 --> 00:24:22.000
make them your size. Mummy bags. Mummy bags are

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:24.019
like suffocating. Like you're going to burst

00:24:24.019 --> 00:24:29.380
those zippers being a bigger guy. Me, my chest

00:24:29.380 --> 00:24:32.579
is really wide from shoulder to shoulder. So

00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:36.039
my pads even, like my sleeping pads, my cots

00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.099
that I've ever done, I'm hanging off the side

00:24:38.099 --> 00:24:41.750
of them anyway. uh the weight limits on chairs

00:24:41.750 --> 00:24:44.950
like it's things that you have to kind of take

00:24:44.950 --> 00:24:48.029
into consideration because i'm so wide i take

00:24:48.029 --> 00:24:52.450
up more space in a tent so like a two -person

00:24:52.450 --> 00:24:56.509
tent like our nemo dagger which i just sold um

00:24:56.509 --> 00:25:00.089
the i took up more space than that than my wife

00:25:00.089 --> 00:25:03.890
did and i don't know maybe if i you know i lost

00:25:03.890 --> 00:25:05.670
a few pounds i wouldn't have taken up as much

00:25:05.670 --> 00:25:07.369
space we might be able to use a little longer

00:25:07.369 --> 00:25:10.819
but It does kind of play into the availability.

00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:16.440
Shit, my clothes are bigger. Takes up more space

00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:21.220
in my luggage. So, I mean, it's just I need to

00:25:21.220 --> 00:25:23.099
eat more, which I don't need to eat more. But,

00:25:23.140 --> 00:25:26.079
like, so I pack more food, make sure everyone's

00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.200
got enough. So, I don't know. It's just something

00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:30.700
that I was thinking about, you know, while I

00:25:30.700 --> 00:25:33.319
was trying to figure out what I want to do for

00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.950
a career. This kind of parallels with. with just

00:25:37.950 --> 00:25:41.509
the the i guess if you want to do off -roading

00:25:41.509 --> 00:25:44.849
and stuff it really helps to not have that extra

00:25:44.849 --> 00:25:48.589
weight on you i think baker's like nothing against

00:25:48.589 --> 00:25:50.930
baker we talked about i think in the last episode

00:25:50.930 --> 00:25:55.630
uh about him falling but i think he's realizing

00:25:55.630 --> 00:25:58.710
that too like it it is hard for a bigger guy

00:25:58.710 --> 00:26:01.470
in this space in the overlanding world and stuff

00:26:01.470 --> 00:26:04.670
you got to think about static loads on your roof

00:26:04.670 --> 00:26:09.789
like So most of these tiny dudes that are these

00:26:09.789 --> 00:26:12.250
small guys that are doing these channels, they

00:26:12.250 --> 00:26:15.289
probably don't even think about static and dynamic

00:26:15.289 --> 00:26:19.509
load on their rooftop tents or what the capacity

00:26:19.509 --> 00:26:24.269
is. But me being 320 now, knowing what my wife

00:26:24.269 --> 00:26:25.930
is and then knowing what my kid is, I got to

00:26:25.930 --> 00:26:30.769
measure that out. I look at rooftop tents and

00:26:30.769 --> 00:26:33.470
I'm like, that's a one -person tent. Like me

00:26:33.470 --> 00:26:35.490
and my wife. We're not going to fit in there

00:26:35.490 --> 00:26:38.009
together. Yeah. Like, no. Now, if I was smaller,

00:26:38.289 --> 00:26:40.109
I'd definitely be able to have more. I'd have

00:26:40.109 --> 00:26:42.769
more room. I'd have a couple more inches, which

00:26:42.769 --> 00:26:47.869
is what I seem to, like, want in a tent usually

00:26:47.869 --> 00:26:51.450
is, like, man, if I just had, like, three or

00:26:51.450 --> 00:26:54.670
four more inches of space on this tent, then

00:26:54.670 --> 00:26:59.250
I'd be good. And I just feel like it's time for

00:26:59.250 --> 00:27:02.160
a change where, like. Yeah, I can run, but short

00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.019
distances. Like I want to be able to run around

00:27:04.019 --> 00:27:06.319
and play soccer with my kid and stuff and not

00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:10.039
be like gassed out after 30 minutes. So all around

00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:13.680
it needs to change. So I've been really focused

00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:16.019
on that lately, trying to manage my portions

00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:21.579
and lose some weight and not only slim down myself,

00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:24.500
but like slim down my inventory of camp stuff.

00:27:24.619 --> 00:27:28.730
Like we talked a few episodes ago. about keeping

00:27:28.730 --> 00:27:31.670
all of our tents and stuff but you know after

00:27:31.670 --> 00:27:35.130
giving it some thought and it's like i need the

00:27:35.130 --> 00:27:38.170
money it's just sitting here i'm not gonna do

00:27:38.170 --> 00:27:40.109
anything with it i just spent a thousand dollars

00:27:40.109 --> 00:27:42.269
on this tent i'm gonna fucking use this tent

00:27:42.269 --> 00:27:45.630
whether we need it or not for whatever we're

00:27:45.630 --> 00:27:49.930
doing like so i'm like screw it i sold it for

00:27:49.930 --> 00:27:55.849
it retailed at like 500 i sold it for 250 the

00:27:55.849 --> 00:28:00.289
other day which is pretty good for a tent honestly

00:28:00.289 --> 00:28:02.829
and the amount of the amount of time you've spent

00:28:02.829 --> 00:28:04.750
yeah thing too and i was honest with her too

00:28:04.750 --> 00:28:06.829
like i was like i've spent i've had it for two

00:28:06.829 --> 00:28:10.950
years i said all in total i probably used it

00:28:10.950 --> 00:28:14.750
you know 20 times or so you don't think about

00:28:14.750 --> 00:28:16.509
it when you say 20 times it probably doesn't

00:28:16.509 --> 00:28:18.849
seem like a lot but like you're using it all

00:28:18.849 --> 00:28:22.549
weekend you know three times then you're using

00:28:22.549 --> 00:28:27.579
it for five days there um So for me, $250 was

00:28:27.579 --> 00:28:31.059
a fair value for that, and it was completely

00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:34.440
fine. There was no cuts, tears, nothing. I ended

00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:36.700
up finding all the tent stakes and everything

00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:40.759
else, so she was pretty happy. So it made me

00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:43.400
$250. I was able to take my wife out on a date,

00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:47.599
and I was able to get some gas for our vehicles.

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.019
So it helped out. I can't say I'm going to—I

00:28:52.019 --> 00:28:53.420
mean, I'll miss it because it was a good tent,

00:28:53.539 --> 00:28:55.980
but I can't say that I'm— i'm gonna miss it that

00:28:55.980 --> 00:28:59.960
much like i mean i'm i'm gonna sell my light

00:28:59.960 --> 00:29:02.079
fighter for the same reason i love the damn thing

00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:05.299
but you know i've got two different swags a single

00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:09.099
person and a two person and why why would i take

00:29:09.099 --> 00:29:12.059
the time to set up a light fighter when i could

00:29:12.059 --> 00:29:13.839
just roll out a swag and have the same amount

00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:16.839
of space yeah it's just it's just getting to

00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:22.299
the point to where like theoretically I would

00:29:22.299 --> 00:29:24.400
love to have a collection room with all this

00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:28.039
stuff, like in my office where I do the podcasting,

00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:32.259
and I'd love to have my back wall all gear. That

00:29:32.259 --> 00:29:34.960
would be so cool. But to be honest, a lot of

00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:37.380
my gear isn't worth putting up on a wall either.

00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:43.680
Yeah. I could say 80 % of my gear is not worth

00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.559
selling because it was all cheap Walmart shit

00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:52.720
that was $30 and under. So, you know, the stuff

00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:54.519
that I started out with that I've kept because

00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:57.160
I'm like, well, maybe I'll need this cheap -ass

00:29:57.160 --> 00:30:00.180
pan someday. No, I'm still sitting there after

00:30:00.180 --> 00:30:02.980
two years. So some of those things I'm just going

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:07.359
to give away or throw away. Dude, it's worth

00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:10.019
going through and slimming down. I've been doing

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:13.019
quite a bit of organizing and sorting for the

00:30:13.019 --> 00:30:15.920
same reason because, I mean, we've bought so

00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:19.549
much stuff, dude. a lot of it's just we're not

00:30:19.549 --> 00:30:22.349
going to touch it again um yeah and i don't see

00:30:22.349 --> 00:30:25.069
it as a as a waste of money either i think it's

00:30:25.069 --> 00:30:28.150
a learning sometimes i think you have to pay

00:30:28.150 --> 00:30:30.329
for things to learn and gain experience from

00:30:30.329 --> 00:30:35.150
them and you know you you have a lot more gear

00:30:35.150 --> 00:30:38.470
than either of us do but a lot of that comes

00:30:38.470 --> 00:30:41.269
down to like you you really like experimenting

00:30:41.269 --> 00:30:43.769
with gear so you're always ready to switch something

00:30:43.769 --> 00:30:48.319
up and we just We don't do that as much, and

00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:50.579
we still have a boatload of gear, you know? Like,

00:30:50.579 --> 00:30:55.119
I have a spare... I have a spare shower that

00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:58.019
someone gave me. Battery -powered shower. I have

00:30:58.019 --> 00:31:02.900
a spare... Is that my old shower? No. No, you

00:31:02.900 --> 00:31:05.740
never got that to me. I have... It was given

00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:09.779
to me by Mike Winanski the last time we went

00:31:09.779 --> 00:31:11.420
out camping. That's still here somewhere. Yeah.

00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:13.920
So it's like I have this... I have extra stuff

00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:17.470
everywhere. And I've been thinking about how

00:31:17.470 --> 00:31:21.369
I really want to camp. Like, do I want to push

00:31:21.369 --> 00:31:23.230
myself to camp in the winter? I like camping

00:31:23.230 --> 00:31:24.789
in the winter, but do I love it? Not really.

00:31:25.690 --> 00:31:27.690
It's not, like, the most enjoyable experience

00:31:27.690 --> 00:31:29.769
for me, and I know it's not going to be an enjoyable

00:31:29.769 --> 00:31:33.309
experience for my family. So it's like I've been

00:31:33.309 --> 00:31:37.509
debating, like, well, am I even going to start

00:31:37.509 --> 00:31:39.690
camping in the winter? I still use my diesel

00:31:39.690 --> 00:31:41.490
heater and everything because it's good for cooler

00:31:41.490 --> 00:31:45.549
temps. It's just, like, planning things out.

00:31:45.670 --> 00:31:49.630
Like, what do I really want to do? Even if you

00:31:49.630 --> 00:31:52.089
only did one winter camping trip, like, it's

00:31:52.089 --> 00:31:54.670
really fun to do one winter camping trip. Yeah,

00:31:54.690 --> 00:31:57.250
I'd like to do Tukwamanon. Like I said, do State

00:31:57.250 --> 00:32:00.529
Park Tukwamanon. It's all plowed out, but it's

00:32:00.529 --> 00:32:02.789
up there by the falls. We could camp there and

00:32:02.789 --> 00:32:05.950
make a nice meal and go do the falls. Retard

00:32:05.950 --> 00:32:10.970
run 2027? Yeah, maybe. But I'd like to do that.

00:32:11.009 --> 00:32:14.930
It would be cool. But, yeah, no, I'm just slimming

00:32:14.930 --> 00:32:18.390
down and prioritizing, trying to figure out what

00:32:18.390 --> 00:32:20.849
the next steps are in life, you know, what I

00:32:20.849 --> 00:32:23.769
really want to do, what I really want to do for,

00:32:23.769 --> 00:32:27.910
like, travel. Like, not that Michigan's boring,

00:32:28.170 --> 00:32:31.509
but, like, and I'm tired of Michigan. I'm not.

00:32:31.630 --> 00:32:33.990
But I'd really like to start planning out bigger

00:32:33.990 --> 00:32:38.349
trips maybe out of Michigan, start branching

00:32:38.349 --> 00:32:41.799
out a little bit. Maybe that means not camping

00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:44.000
as much and saving some money here and there.

00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:47.640
I mean, that's what we've been doing. We've been

00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:50.359
doing the yard camping to get us through. And
