It's been too long since I've had a guest. I mean, I mean, seriously, it's been way too long. So you know what?
I'm actually very glad very excited that we finally got to uh schedule something this week and
I don't know. I'm just i'm just happy with the result. I'm actually recording this after we finished the uh the whole episode but
That was awesome. Anyways
Everyone put your hands together and welcome Logan to the podcast. All right
So
Ow you're big into Mongolian throat singing
Uh, are you asking me yes, uh, no
No, I can't say I am
I told you the intro would be catching you off guard. That's why I did the last episode
I thought you like you were like burping. I wasn't really sure what was going on. I was gonna be polite today
Okay. Oh man politeness is polite of you
So have we have you lay uh, we officially like started I see the lines going that means we are yeah we started
Okay, cool. I just like being goofy should I uh
Introduce myself. I've never done this before. I don't know anything about the sort of etiquette
Etiquette is something we don't do on this podcast. I want you to be rude. I mean you're already doing great
But yeah, you can introduce yourself
Okay, um
Hello everyone. Uh, my name is Logan
I'm a friend of Marcus. I
Him and I can't really remember how we met or became friends, but we know it was online
and uh
Almost every I would say
Like once a month he would send me memes like every year and we just kind of started talking more lately
I don't know. I just I find our friendship very interesting
um
Yeah, so here we are here I am
Meme centric friendship, that's how they all begin
Yeah, I don't know that's how I started
I don't is that oh is that like when you're when you're friends or
Yeah, he's on uh
He he has his own podcast called gaijin bento. I had him on once he was already like he had like a few beers
Uh-huh
That was a cool episode. I remember because like
He was drunk and like I wasn't
He was drunk off of a few beers
Well, I mean he's kind of a lightweight. I hope you're listening brian
Well, I can't say anything
I can't say anything. I've like never really drank alcohol. So it would probably take
A lick of hand sanitizer and I'm like passed out
I mean, I don't blame you man. There's um
There's those kids that would drink hand sanitizer in high school. Like I I still remember those vividly. I'm like I'm an idiot
But I'm not that dumb
Okay, so I have a funny little uh, anecdotal story about uh, funny drug usage
I have a friend i'm not going to name his name just in case he'll know who it is
But just in case he hears this
Uh, he told me that when he was in high school, he huffed gasoline and I was like what?
And he told me that um
He said that that like ended his uh, his drug exploration like days
Because he huffed gasoline and he said the whole room that he was in was on fire and he couldn't
Escape and it terrified him. So he said he's never he like stopped like experimenting with drugs after that
And I thought that was so funny. Who the fuck?
Huffs gasoline it like melts your brain away. I don't get it
That's so funny. I know right especially gasoline like
Like the fumes right that's the stuff that powers cars and like he's sitting here huffing and trying to
Make sense of shit
Dude he's he's puffing it in his mind. He's already altered. He's altered beyond repair
He thought the whole room was on fire around him. I thought
I tell that story all the time. It is one of my favorites. He's ever told me it's so funny
That is like gotta be nightmare fun
I mean we kind of get like a little bit of that when we go and we smell the gasoline at like um
When you're putting in a car, you know what I mean, but like not directly inhaling it
No one puts their mouth on the fucking nozzle
Yeah, yeah, I don't I don't even know like how do you dosage that?
How do you dosage gasoline fumes to get the appropriate high like where's the cutoff point?
You know what I mean? When do you start to feel something? When do you know your
Your right hand is on fire?
When do you start to feel something? When do you know you're you're riding the high?
I don't I don't understand that and of course like you're saying, you know, I knew people who would like snort, uh
Like hand sanitizer in school and i'm just like dude
What in the world you guys are like living in prison? What is this? Why are you doing that?
When I was in high school, I was just playing pokemon and like super smash bros and there's people I hear like fucking huffing
Uh hand sanitizer and like selling their mother's prescription pills. I'm like, dang it's crazy
Damn, that's that's that's fucking wild
No, I remember one thing too like around high school middle school where kids were like crushing up smarties and snorting them
Do you remember that?
Yes, yes, dude. Okay as a joke, uh, I tried to impress one of my crushes when I was like in fifth grade
And I crushed up, uh some crackers like some like some normal crackers you would use
For soup just plain old saltines and I snorted them just to make her laugh and I got it all over me
I like was sneezing all day coughing
um
Yeah, I would never do that ever again. It was pretty funny that
Saltine crackers
Yeah, it was gnarly and I remember blowing my nose and the teacher was like why is her crack and I was like, uh
The sinuses I guess
Yeah
I mean, it's funny. It's funny. You mentioned that the sinus of a person is like really deep like
I don't know how to explain it. There's this weird video
It came out like I think like 10 years ago at this point
Where some guys picking his nose, but he has like a super long finger and it all fits
Oh, it was gross. I know
It's pretty gross. The human anatomy is
An interesting one
Yeah, for sure. I was just telling Karen today my fiance
Uh, I said this as a joke, but it's still true
Uh, obviously not in front of people but I do like to pick boogers on my nose. I think it's fun. Is that weird to say?
I mean you're talking to a trucker who does it when he's bored. So that ain't weird to say man
That's I think everyone does it and no one just talks about it. You know what I mean?
Yeah, I don't understand why people get embarrassed about it. I think I don't I don't really care
I've gotten to the point in my life where I just don't care. I'll like pull my underwear out my ass in public
I'll uh, I'll do that
That wall, you know the walkie-doo to like uh to unstick your balls from the side like
Like hot you kind of do that like squat
Squat walk. I do that. I don't care. I just I just really don't care. It's pretty funny
Bro, I live in the desert
I live in the desert. We do that regularly
Desert to california, hey is this supposed uh, didn't you say uh today's topic was supposed to be uh
On climate change and we're we're talking about unsticking nuts from the side of our legs
Uh, this has everything to do with climate change the hotter it gets the more our nuts will stick
You're actually right
exactly
You haven't opened your third eye yet. I'm over here chugging mead
and
I was gonna rhyme it. I mean I had a I had a single sip
I'm not i'm not gonna lie. I'm like i'm really nursing this thing. I'm just going little by little. I don't want to drink it too fast
Okay, are you do you like to uh, like eat when you drink or do you just like to drink that's it
I like to eat when I drink but that's because I have a sensitive stomach
So I kind of had to eat something before you know the ramen I sent you
Yes, I do that really good
Yeah, I like scarf that down because I wanted to I mean even this alcohol here
This is for my buddy nick. I'm only drinking a little bit and then putting the rest back
because like
He wanted to
He wanted to uh, he wanted to try the first bottle that I made. This is like the first I think the third batch but
The fifth one i'm working on right now
Okay
Hey, you know, um, I I tried like ordering just like a like a bottle offline
Um, it is insane how much it like it'll be like, oh 13 14 dollars
I'm like, oh, that's not bad and the shipping is like 50 dollars
I'm like you're actually out of your mind if you think i'm going to pay 60 dollars for
a 15 bottle like
So at this point, uh, I either gotta find somewhere local or i'm just gonna have to suck it up try and make myself
But yeah, I just I just wanted to add that I can't remember if I told you that or not
I didn't know the shipping was so expensive for me, but it does make sense because like with alcohol they
There's something about the transport of alcohol that costs a lot of money because I used to do truck driving otr
And I remember I would do anhyzer bush loads, which is you know, like bud light
They would fill the truck as much as legally possible
Every time it has to do with how regulated it is the age restriction age restriction
Um, but yes shipping it is out fucking great. I don't understand
how
Like companies can make money off of but they make so much money off of I just I don't know. It's crazy
I was looking on uh my i'm sorry good
I mean, you also don't see people buying a single can of beer. You know what I mean?
They always buy it in like a 12 pack or something
Yeah, that's true
I wonder if like yeah, I don't know. I just I just want to try one. That's all I want to do
I just want to try it and
I can't believe the irish pub how dare they call themselves irish damn irish pubs didn't have that's crazy
They were like me whoo, what's that?
I'm like, oh, okay
You call yourself the irish pubes. How dare you?
Exactly
um
so
Have you uh, I was trying to look through my facebook friends list to see if I could find
You did you delete your facebook? Oh, yeah, I deleted it like five years ago
You said i'm sorry you cut out you said
Yeah, I I deleted it like five or six years ago. Um, but I added you on instagram
It's kind of a weird transition over
Yeah, we were we were friends on facebook first were we not
Yeah, we were friends on facebook first
Yeah, we were and then um, and then I added you on instagram
Okay, yeah
I was trying to see if I could find our message history because I think it'd be really really funny to see how it started because I really
I remember
I thought it was through a mutual person
Uh, i'm not gonna say their name but it starts with a b and we talked about it before
Um, I thought it was through them
But you said we met
But you said we met in a beam pages comment page and our comment section. I don't
I don't remember
You know what it was it was
I remember now you sent me a message thinking it was somebody else
Saying if I wanted to go to a um, not a concert like a fair there we go
And I was so down like I didn't even know I was like, you know what?
I'm down to go and you're like several states over and i'm like i'm still down to go
Yes, I yeah because I I will say i'm in north carolina here all the way across the damn country
I do remember that because I had a friend in real life named marcus. Shout outs to marcus. I haven't talked
And I had you on you were on my friends list though before that interaction
But I remember that interaction between us was like what broke the ice
Um
But yes, I did confuse you for him and that was really fun
And that was really funny
I was like, why is he saying he doesn't live here? Is he like trolling me right now? Am I I remember getting annoyed
I was like what are you talking about?
And I was like, oh and I checked the last name. I was like, oh fuck because my my friend marcus
I realized he's he's german. He has like a german last name and you obviously do not have a german last name
Um, I thought it was so funny. I got it was so funny
That was uh, that's our origin story
Yeah, I'm still trying i'm still scrolling through and clicking on a facebook user to see if I can find I remember uh
I remember messaging you whenever
I was playing overwatch one on my playstation 4 and that is like that's crazy
Man I don't even play video games that much anymore. I've just been too busy working and paying taxes
All right, you're trying to try a dog on me right now bro because i'm unemployed
Maybe
Uh unemployed hey it takes a lot of energy to apply
Yeah, I had energy today, huh? I'm sorry good speaking of energy i'm saying
There's a slight delay between us
Yes speaking of energy go ahead
I forgot where I was going with that
Hi
Uh, oh no, did I cut off?
No, no, you didn't cut off. I'm I'm I think I might have found it
I think I might have I remember talking to you a little bit in spanish. I think
Because I had taken uh Spanish
I do remember that I do remember that and I was like your Spanish is very good
Oh, do you have a black and white cat?
Do I have a black and white cat?
I remember my brother had one
Hey, all right, uh, i'm
Okay, hold on like see if I i'll be

That's how it's supposed to be
Okay, is this okay? I'd be immune to scream is this animal
related to you
Yes. Yes. Okay. I remember that's that's when I was in a laundromat
Okay. Yes. All right. I found it. I found our chat. I'm scrolling all the way up
I'll see if I can. Holy shit. That's crazy. I haven't seen that cat in years
We went to that laundromat because our dryer and washing machine were like broken because of all the um
I don't remember all the stuff we were throwing in there
But I remember that cat would like whenever I sat down it would just like sit next to me
Like it wouldn't let me like it didn't mind when I pet him but like he would just sit there
Oh, yeah, I got you cats are weird. I like I like finding uh stray cats
I like to see if I can become one with them
Okay, I'm like you're kitty kitty kitty and then they run away and it hurts my feelings but
Um, there was a cat out in front of subway like last week or the week before
And it's so crazy because we have we have kittens at our house right now. They're growing up
You know, they're like they're like slinkies. They're like tiny
They don't have a lot of muscle. They're just like little
Slinkies and I went out and I found this stray cat in front of subway because they're feeding it and I was like, oh hey buddy
And I want to get petted and the fucking cat is like beef cake. It is like super muscly from
Having to survive in the wild. It is crazy, bro. Like actually petting
Uh feral somewhat feral cats
Uh, you can you can definitely tell uh, their muscle mass difference. They are not they're not daddy. They are definitely on sproids
They are not daddy they are definitely on sproids
Seriously, what is that like what what is it about stray cats that they have to be like super beefed up freshly out of jail
You know like what the fuck's up with that? It's tough on the streets a wimp like you wouldn't understand
It's tough out there I mean it makes it they always gotta run, you know, they um urge chasing after
Uh people other cats dogs and snakes
Cars
Yeah cars. It's a doggy dog world out there eagles
Yeah, well, yeah eagles. I found I found the beginning of our our messages. Uh, you poked me on facebook. That's what it was
And then what year was that?
2018 holy shit and
You said ago
Yeah, exactly. You said any friend of
You know the person we talked about any friend of this person tends to be an amazing person
And uh, I said, oh, let's i've talked to a few times. He's cool
And I said, thank you and he said nice and he said nice talking to you though
And I said you too brother and you said I read that in hulk hogan's voice
I remember the hulk hogan message. Yeah, and then after that we didn't talk
Uh, I messaged you two days later. I was like marcus marcus marcus
Marcus marcus, you want to go to a farewell to us tonight, please? Hey, hey, hey, come on. Come on. I can pick you up
And then you said i'm in
What do your viewers know where you're at? Like what state you're in? They know yeah, they know what state i'm in
Okay. All right. You're like dude. I'm in california. You're in north korea. You said come get me i'll go anywhere
I'm like you are useless to me be gone
And then eventually, uh, let's see a whole hour and a half later. I messaged you back. I'm like i'm so stupid
I messaged the wrong marcus. I'm so sorry, bro
The hell of an origin and then ever since then
You said what?
It's a hell of an origin story
It is
And then uh, you invited me to like one of your friends pages and I dogged on you for it
I thought it was pretty funny and then after that, um, the rest is history. We just kind of chatted back and forth
That's pretty great
pretty funny too
I mean it's cool sitting back on our past, right?
But also five years makes a hell of a difference you want to you want to brag about that recent, uh,
accomplishment you had
All right, all right, well I suppose well i'm not trying to brag i'm a very humble person but I did
graduate, uh with my bachelor's degree in environmental science and um,
I'm very proud of that very happy myself. I also had a job interview today
Um with a i'm not going to say what entity I don't know if it really matters
But it was a state entity revolving around environmental science
um
It is a it's a white collar job. I like to do field work go out like, you know
That's what the bugs the insects sort of thing
But I will take anything get my foot in the door
So I hope the interview went well, uh, she said something
I don't know if I told you this it really scared me. I was doing really good in my interview
I was like, yes cooking I was I was answering the questions
And then at the very very end when I was like saying, you know my salutation. Goodbye
Uh, she was like, you know, thank you for your time. You had some really interesting answers
And then she likes she smiled and then she said, you know, bye. Bye and I was like
What did she mean? Does that mean?
Does that mean a good thing and all my friends are saying dude, you're overthinking it, but I don't know the way she said it
It concerns me
I don't understand my my answers were very
Tamed they weren't like
Oh, well, there's one time I had eat bugs and do this like I was very very like down to earth and relaxed
I don't understand. I just I just hope I get it. I just hope I get something. I'm tired of being unemployed
um
Yeah, but yes, thank you for uh for shouting me out on that
Hell, yeah, man. I shouted you out like one or two episodes too. Just like, you know, congrats to logan for that
Also, I know exactly what you're feeling when you talked about that. Um the after interview like
Anxiety where you like overthink some things but also you're right whenever they say that it's like an interesting answer
Like if I ever hear that from someone I think I fucked up didn't I?
Yeah, because it's not they're not saying oh that was a good answer or you gave good answers
They're saying you gave interesting ones. What what does that mean? I say, okay, let me put it into perspective, right?
I say things are interesting when I see uh sharks eat people and I'm not gonna say whoa, that's cool
But that what now you know deep down that's what i'm thinking. I think it's pretty cool because i'm immature as hell
But i'm not gonna be like yo that dude got ate my shark. That is so cool
I'm like, wow, that's really interesting. So
when I hear that
I think
Oh shit that I just
Metaphorically get eaten by a shark like am I am I screwed am I fucked up? Like what did I do?
Did I fucking vomit?
Yeah, exactly. I don't know
um
I don't know. I'm gonna i'm gonna hold out hope but if I don't get it, it's whatever there's plenty of jobs to see
I'm just tired of being broke. I really want to get get started
I mean i'm employed and i'm still broke that's entirely on me though. I'm always spending money on some dumb shit
What is like your number one most regretted purchase? Oh, I actually know this one. It's my uh my degree
I mean like you have like a receipt you went to a store or you purchased it offline
Um sort of thing. Well, give me give me an example. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Okay. Okay. I got one, right?
I have an invoice from spotify because we had this thing where um last year I wanted to advertise the podcast
and
My god, okay
The way ads work is you usually usually you spend more and you get more like exposure, right? Yeah
well in this case
I spent
Like originally the asking price was five hundred dollars
And I told them well I could do 250
And I they did that right and I got a one minute ad and it played for a week
Five people saw it
I spent ten dollars on a tiktok advertisement and a thousand people saw it. Oh, wow
Exactly, but the problem is the 250 is already out of my bank account like a year ago and I still feel the sting
It's like god damn it. I'm so stupid. Yeah
How do you how do you feel about um, how do you feel about uh tiktok do you feel like it's um
Do you feel like it's evil? Uh, like chinese spyware like people were uh perpetrating or
Do you think it's just a silly app and you can use it and it doesn't really matter
I feel like the ccp is definitely um on there right like they're definitely listening to me when I was on there because the thing is
when I did advertise the
The podcast on tiktok I suddenly I like I clicked on my website rss.com and I could see that
Somebody from china from you know, mainland china saw the podcast only a single person did and I thought oh shit a government official saw me
Officials saw me that's that's um nervous
You're breaking up a lot it's kind of hard for you
Oh, yeah, I can see the line you were advertising and you said the ccp was listening on listening on you and that's kind of all I
Could understand that's pretty much. I said, yeah
It's my internet, how did you know the ccp was listening on you?
Because the area that like the way rss.com works is if I zoom in on the map
It'll show me specifically where it was listened to down to the uh the city
And this was in the state capital
of china
So like okay, i'm just piecing it to you
It was exclusively heard the ad was exclusively heard or seen in china. Is that what you're saying?
You're still kind of breaking up a little I mean one person from china saw it, but it was from the
What's it called the i'm trying to remember the word the capital hong kong and there we go hong kong
Am I still breaking up
Uh, yes kind of but I think I get what you're saying. So do you do you think it uh
Like do you do you still have do you do you uh recreationally use?
uh tiktok
I gotta or do you just use it strictly for like advertising
I mostly use it for clips of the podcast
But I also just make my own goofy videos from time to time
I have had some in the past possibly
Like get hundreds of thousands of views and stuff
um, so I do use it like a lot but i'm starting to notice the
That a lot of user agreements like click here to agree keeps popping up because they had they had to change laws last minute
Otherwise, they would have been taken off of the market entirely
So there was a chance that it was already used as spyware and they got what they needed, you know
Yeah, I get what you're saying. I mean that's any that's any um, any foreign like country at this point
You know what I mean? Everyone's spying on each other
Yeah, I mean, it's yeah, I I just
It's not just tiktok. I mean, you know, of course, you know any social media app you're subject to something like that
So i'm just curious to what you uh thought about it. I just don't use tiktok. Uh, because I just feel like
my brain like melts when I when I watch some videos like um
Just I occasionally I watch like youtube shorts because I like the fish and I like to I like to see this fishing shorts
Stuff like that
Um, and just watching those just like makes my brain like melt. I just I don't know
I just think tiktok is very very weird
Um, it's like the
Designed to keep you addicted to the app and watching it as long as possible. Yeah
I I don't like that. I think exactly
It's evil. I don't want I don't want my life controlled by an app
Yeah, anyway, here's my twitter some self-responsibility comes in. You should be more disciplined to be able to put something down. So
um, I don't know
You said you meant you mentioned you liked fishing, right?
Yes, I do. I love you love the fishes out here. There's actually a giant, uh
Like 10 000 year old lake that just came back because of climate change
Oh, yeah, I remember you telling me about that. Yeah, give me some yeah throw down some facts some knowledge for brother
The taleri lake has returned last time we saw it full was
Back in the day. I was like, oh my god. I'm like, oh my god
I remember back when pictures were still taken with those really big boxy cameras. We had a hold still for like 10 minutes
Oh, so like what like in the eight like late 800s. Yes exactly 10 000 years ago
So california flooding recreates to lorry lake after record storms
Yep, that's what I wanted to that's what I wanted to point out. Um
earlier but like honestly the the whole conversation has just been fucking awesome. So like
Yeah, I get what you're saying. Yeah, it's back. That thing is back that giant ancient ass lake
I'm i'm seeing photos. This is insane. This is really cool. It's miles long, by the way
Is there fish in it? I mean have we gotten to that point yet has ecological succession taken place is there fish in it yet?
I have gotten to the point where I got right up to the lake because uh in my line of work
We had to build a wall of dirt
Oh, uh, we had to build a wall of dirt around the tillery lake
with where I work
and
We saw some things in the water. We just saw a bunch of like um a bunch of ducks a lot of ducks
Okay, well i'm thinking there's some fish in there though
So you see so I did a quick google search and in april of 2023 saying organized flocks of white pelicans and black
performance
Are capturing abundant fishes from the lake. So just thick tail hitch blackfish
Uh perch pikeman and sucker. I have never heard of thick tail hitch
Um, those sound like yankee words. I'm gonna have to google, uh, the redneck version of a thick tail. I don't know
What a thick tail is
I gotta be honest. I had no idea either
Are there chubs? Okay, so they're just the type of chub
Um just like me
Kind of sort of thing they kind of get a little big though
I'm a chub
Okay
All right, I was swimming in the lake
You swam in that lake? No, hell no. I'm not touching that water. I don't know how to explain it but it
Mm-hmm storm water. Yeah, I mean it's like it smells like rotting death. I don't know how to explain it
Yeah, it probably isn't
It's an ecological disaster but a beautiful one i'm not gonna lie wait, how's it wait so but it restoring itself would be a good
Thing how is it considered a disaster? Is it just like so much pollution and runoff like going into it? It's like
nasty or
Well, yeah, uh, one is the runoff from all the storm like from all the uh from all the lakes that was uh
Near it they like expanded and took stuff with it along with like trees
I saw a fucking like a tire floating in there. But another thing as well is um
The fact that all of the land that was flooded was farmland like stuff was actively growing in there and now it's
Overwatered and rotting and also there's highways like with a shit ton of asphalt. There was an electrical plant
so
Oh, yeah
Electricity it's crazy. Let me see. Um
What is the
California department
Of environmental quality that we all have that
I think so. Yeah, the california environmental. Let's see because um in north carolina
I have uh, I have these bookmark because I just like to go and look at um,
Um, like my water quality like around me like if i'm gonna go fishing where I have two maps saved that tell me
um
Like north carolina's water quality things from what the epa does
So I wonder if california has the same thing
like
Water quality
Hey, just a quick sec. Uh, go ahead and look that up. I gotta put something away
Okay
I can see it. Oh man
Saline tumor. Yeah
Bacteria probably a lot of the pathogens
Yeah, it's not good
Sorry about that I put it in the way real quick
You're good. It's pretty crazy. Um, the fact that it's reappeared
But yeah, if it's nothing but flood water that uh, yeah, it's nasty
Seeing exactly like you were saying like a lot of farm lands. That's bringing in a lot of manure
That brings like e coli stuff like that
Um, yeah, not not good stuff, but it's still cool that it's happening
Still very cool
Oh, yeah, like to be honest, there was this thing that I wanted to do
Which was go to the lake, you know when i'm not working right because like
Yeah, because of what we were doing at work. We were we were working right next to it and we had access to it
But I heard recently there's a town nearby where you can go right up to it
But the police have advised people saying once you cross this line, we will no longer help you. So
Yeah, i'm not i'm not gonna do that
Yeah, uh around here and you know connecting these uh, these two ideas
um
Well, i'm not doxing myself. I'm just gonna say I live
Close to a place called wilmington. All right
uh, the cape fear river basin it has the largest concentration of uh,
Animal feeding operations, uh, specifically hog farms so they'll have these like mass scale hog farms where they slaughter them
They you know, keep them cooped up, you know, they poop and all that good stuff
Um, it is so concentrated in the cape fear river basin
that um, we're also subjected to uh
Yearly hurricanes we're you know, we're in a bad spot for that. So every year it floods
And it it takes the uh the waste from these uh, they call them kafos
concentrated animal feeding operations
It'll it'll flood the lagoons because they take the hog shit and they filter it into basically a giant pool of water
It'll flood that and then bring it all back into that water boy
And it spreads and that's why the cape fear river basin is like littered with like e coli
Running rampant and stuff like that. The water quality is like off. It's so
bad
And um, that's a whole rabbit hole. I could go deeper into it
Um, but i'll just uh, that was going to be my contribution to the uh, the climate change topic
but uh, yeah
It's pretty bad and even like uh, the local government stuff. They can't really do anything about it
The way it's politically portrayed it makes it impossible to get anything past. Uh
Regarding laws to like restrict, uh how they make these like waste pools and stuff like that
Yeah, it's it's a shit show and i'm just gonna go ahead and say it buddy. It's all run by china. It is
China recently like the last 10 years by uh smithfield
And dude, they've been running rampant all over us and they have like
It's bad. It's pretty interesting and pretty bad. I'm not you know, i'm not bringing politics into this but
But it's it's portrayed in the media that like oh these
These liberals are trying to stop the the average farmer from having his hog farm. It is not like that at all like
uh smithfield's like contracts for these farmers are like super aggressive
And exclusive where they they have to follow these specific rules if they breach a contract
Like smithfield will like destroy them financially
Um, and they've got people running in like the north carolina general assembly that just vote against any legislature that tries to get passed
About it. It's like I feel like it is one of the like a deep rabbit hole that like nobody in north carolina is talking about
Really, it is insane and it's all run by china, baby. Yes, sir china
That I don't have like
My little rant my little spill I went on
Bro, i'm fucking blown away. Actually see this is this is why this is why I wanted to bring you on you are fucking
You're a genius, you know things that I don't and I wanted to hear it. Oh people have to hear it, man
Logan speaking the truth. I'm sorry. What was like you said what logan speaking the truth? That's why we had him on
Oh, we're flexing our muscles. Well, I I appreciate that there's there's more to it. Um
Um, i'll say one more thing about it
Uh the university I went to there was a student who did like an expose on smithfield
Like wrote a whole presentation and like presented it and this this was before uh, they sold out of china a smithfield representative
like called them out and demanded that uh
The student basically be reprimanded or the student to not submit
uh their expose or whatever to um
the academic officials
And this is one thing I will I will praise my university for they sided with the student and said basically get fucked buddy
We're not we're not stopping anything because it was true
um
The way that they run these hog operations around here are
Ludicrous it is insane and if you're a local trying to sue like for uh ruining like the quality of life like because these hog farms
These hog farms smell like ass. They smell like sweat and shit. It is so bad
If you try and sue for that, you won't get nothing buddy because china
Is so bad
It is so bad
That is end that's in my little my little brown smithfield. I hate smithfield. I try not to buy pork. I try not to support them
They're really evil people you're here to hear first folks fuck smithfield. Let's go
Yeah
Fucking right in the ass right in the putt back. I mean I could say it fucking right in the pussy. You remember that quote?
Unfortunately
That's a classic right there
Damn, I had no idea the pork industry was like that over there like
This is all new to me. You know what I mean?
Yeah, like I said the highest concentrated amount
of
Uh, kafos in the world
Is in the capes fear river basin in north carolina. It is wild. It is dare. I say
hogwild
You dared you dared to say you did it you fucking dared
You fucking dared yeah, i'm about to shit my pants all this knowledge
Yeah, i'm about to go up we have that as a a discord bot, um
On our sound, you know, you can do sound boards and like uh discord. That's like a new thing they added
I had no idea. I don't even have discord
Uh, well in in discord, uh with my friends. There's like a um
You can like you can have a soundboard now and you can have a hotkey
and they have
They have my young established gentleman, uh exclaiming his climax and it's really
They all do it and I have the I have the set where they they come through my speakers
They talk for my speakers. So i'll be sitting here playing the game and like sometimes, you know
My step kids might run in and they'll like play that thing and he's like i'm about to and I gotta like mute really fast
I'm like, oh my god
Is your response time is quick
Yes, I have it on deck because of that
Yeah, it was uh, oh fuck
I told I told my friends I was doing this
They said they want to they want to listen to this episode when you drop it
So i'll send it to them. I think they might get a hoot out of it. Hell. Yeah, I know I will especially especially the um, you know
All the stuff you talked about the pork industry. I'm actually blowing
My bad, bro. I'm actually blown away by that like
I gotta look into this now, you know what I mean?
Yeah, it
Uh, it it's deep. It's like a rabbit hole
I mean, I remember we had a presenter come to our class and I can't remember specifically what they said, but they
They made it out like um
like trying to sue
Uh smithfield or anything like that is like illegal like you can't even bring legal action to it. It just gets thrown out
um
Like if you're like specifically, I think if you're suing for like quality of life
They it's illegal like it just gets thrown out. It could be it was either something like that something on those lines, but
The North Carolina General Assembly is in the pocket of china, baby
it is so bad and you know, not a lot of people talk about it because
Like I said the media portrays it as oh the liberals are taking down the average farmer
And it's crazy because one of the speakers that came in
Was one of the farmers that worked with smithfield and said that they are so crazy aggressive with their contracting
Um that he has to finish his contract or financially he would be ruined from it
So it's it's it's bad. It's really bad
And a lot of people especially like
Older folk, uh, I don't think they really understand what's going on and
They don't understand why there's so much e coli in the water and stuff. It's just it's bad
So is the water even drinkable there?
Uh, no there was
See, okay cool thing about the cape fear river basin. It just keeps taking ales because not only is it
Um completely filled with like e coli
And um, it's like almost daily. They have to issue like equal. I warning stuff
But they also having problems. Um with uh p fast chemicals. Uh, have you have you heard of those?
This is the first time I hear that okay, so they're
They're I believe the acronym stands for per flora alkyl
um substances
per flora alkyl substances, they're basically um
The substances that go into like heat like fire resistant, uh blankets
um like teflon coverings on uh
Your cookware that make them anti
Uh, what's the word that make them anti stick things like that? Oh, I heard about that
Oh, I heard about that
Yeah, those chemicals, uh were being leaked
Directly into the waterway by a great company called du pont. Can I get a can I get a praise to my brothers down in du pont?
um
Damn, okay
Yet the whole cape fear river is like ruined like it is so bad
Nobody like wants to you know, you can't really I mean you can swim in the water
But you really have to like check for the e coli levels and stuff
Uh, people don't really eat fish out of anymore. Uh, the entire city of wilmington
Uh, there was like an emergency like last year or a year before
Where for months they could not drink water out of their tap because they realized it was so contaminated with e fast
That uh, it would just fuck you over and like give you cancer intent here. It was it was bad
Um
That warning is still like going on people in wilmington pretty much only drink bottled water and stuff
Yeah, it's not as bad as like detroit or anything
um
But yeah, it's pretty it's pretty awful. I uh, every water fountain you see has this like super special filter on it
um
Yeah, so cape for river basin is getting uh, pretty pretty messed up in his booty. It's getting pretty jacked up
Isn't it?
Oh, yeah, um
Isn't it fucked up how this is like a new norm for the united states like these big companies can get away with shit like a
lot of the time and like
I'm noticing that I haven't heard about this stuff, right?
But I know instances of that happening nearby like I know of small isolated incidences
It's almost like it's suppressed so that it doesn't spread out further
But in reality, this is our new norm like these big companies are fucking us all up. We can't do anything about it
Yes
the united states doesn't uh
Practice the precautionary principle where you have to prove that what you're doing or the product you're using
Or the chemical you're creating
Uh is not harmful. They that the burden of proving that is not on them. It only comes
Uh, there it only becomes their responsibility to prove that whenever somebody else points it out
So you can go willy-nilly and make these things
And if they don't know what it is and you're just you know, fucking releasing it into the water
Uh, it doesn't matter until somebody points it out
So that's how dupont has gotten away with you know, dumping p-fas chemicals in because
They knew this whole time it was fucked up and it would give you cancer and you know
Make your make you grow an extra testicle and stuff like that
uh
But they just you know the precautionary principle they have so they don't have to prove anything. They're trying to sell a teflon, baby
I remember all about that teflon thing. It was just
I don't know it it blows my mind that it's still going on because I remember hearing it back in like 2016
You know, and it's just that's our new norm
That's our new norm
This is bullshit. I hate it. I'm mad
I want to get mad logan. Where do I direct my hate at?
Uh, you should direct it towards a concentrated animal feeding operation in california
I don't know if they have any but you should go in there and just release all the hogs
And then write write and spray paint on the side
Sorry, I went hog wild
Well, we hear the meat we podcast you're not good doing violence anyway
My bad, I had to put a disclaimer
I'm talking about in minecraft california. That's this is satire not real california. This is satire
Oh, by the way, I do gotta mention something though. You mentioned the hog farms, right?
now, I don't know if we have concentrated feeding out here, but
There is this thing I wanted to mention before we started recording
I mentioned that there was a prison out here charles madison famously died in it and stuff but near
this prison around this area i'm trying to think about like
town names, but
A few years ago. I think it was ron
Like I was in college when this happened
they found that
these
These pigs were being fed body parts
They were trying to use the pigs to cover up a murder out here
Sounds like something out of the eight
points
What blows my mind right is that?
Well, apparently it's a real technique though. You can feed
Human to a pig and the pig will eat it. The problem is the dumbass didn't realize that the pig is supposed to be hungry
Oh
So so so they just like threw the body in there and the they just never ate it
Is that that what you're getting at the pigs just kind of poked around it?
Okay
I know right isn't that hog wild soon after like
Wait you said what you broke up isn't it hog wild
Yeah, yeah that is pretty hog wild it's funny you mentioned that story because
I've been playing red dead redemption and that is a like little side quest thing the pick bar
Be a part of where
Yeah, where you can well there's two instances where you help a uh a prostitute
uh hide a body that she killed because the guy was like trying to beat her and you throw it in a
Hog farm and the hogs eat it or conversely you can be roofied
um and
You're not touched while you were knocked out by these crazy
Inbreds and then they throw you in a hog pen and try to get the hogs eat you
So it's pretty interesting. You mentioned that um
Wait, wait, wait, wait that mentioned you mentioned red dead redemption too that one game we get roofied, right? Okay
Have you have you done it yet? Can you go back there and play it or like did you already kill the two?
Uh, I have I haven't done it in this playthrough when I played it like you know when it first came out
Yeah, I went and like beat him to death. I didn't shoot him. That was too nice. I had to physically beat them to death
Okay, there's a thing you could do right? I don't want to spoil it, but
Um, there's this thing uh where you were dumped off at that one specific area with all the mud and everything
Tie up the woman and bring her to there. She'll have a very unique dialogue
I'm not gonna spoil it but it fucked me up because it was such a nice dialogue
It fucked me up because it was such a specific thing to do and then you'll get a very specific audio
You got it. You gotta try it bro. Seriously. I love that game
All right, i'll do that
I'm I just love the uh, the amount of detail rockstar has put in the game like it was just so it's so perfect
It's like one of my favorite games ever. So I will definitely do that
I love fishing in the game
That's honestly like I could fish in red dead redemption and then like out here right by the toleri lake
Also cast like a regular like fishing pole and just like do it on both
Multidimensional fishing that's what I call it. Yeah, whenever um, I was playing the other night
I'm, sorry you were breaking up. You said what?
multidimensional fishing
Yeah, I was playing in um
I was playing over the night and I was uh, I kept catching gar in red dead redemption
I was trying to catch up like the legendary sturgeon
I was like man, I want to go catch a gar in real life and I rode down the road and tried to catch a gar
Uh, because that's just cool. I just love that I can just do that in real life
and uh
I couldn't do it. I tried to um
I almost caught well, I basically caught one like last week a week before a long nose gar
I couldn't get it up the side of the bridge. It was too big and he kind of like yanked his head and the lure fell out his mouth
um, but I think gar like one of the coolest fish ever they're so cool
My favorite thing to catch out here is uh catfish biggest one i've gotten was about two feet long
But I know I can get a much bigger one
The murkier the water the better, you know what I mean?
And the best part is since that recent flood there's a whole bunch of like murky spots
So i'm gonna go i'm gonna go and try to get a much bigger one
I'm gonna go and try to get a much bigger one
You ever had catfish?
What do you uh use for bait?
When it comes to catfish, I just use regular worms
Oh, okay, so I use like worm and a bobber
um
Worm and a sinker
Oh, okay, okay
Um
Usually because I mean i'm kind of new to fishing
I um, i've been doing just like a worm and a bobber for a little while
Um, but now that I found out that these gar will bite these uh artificial lures
I've been using them a lot more and i've been trying to get used to them
I think they're a lot more fun to fish with because you know, you can like cast them out, you know
You basically imitate a bait and it's uh, I like that
Pretty cool. Oh like legit legit. I gotta pay like 50 dollars to go fishing
For a license
Yeah, like once once a year it's like 50 every every um, I need to pay 50 a year to go fishing
That's not too bad I don't know how much it is around I can't remember how much a year passes here
I think it's cheaper than that, but I could be wrong on it. I know if you want a three-day pass. It's like ten dollars
What I'm not sure
Three-day pass is like ten dollars. What you guys get three days?
It's not bad especially because like you said we get what I mean you get three day passes we get um
One month or one year. That's all we get. That's what we can pay
I think the year pass is the most like it's like the best one to get like even if you don't fish every day
It's still worth it
Yeah, yeah if I god forbid if I lived in california, that's what I would do
The water out here is like yeah, it's finally country boy myself. I like living out here
You'd think i'm in la or some shit california is incredibly rural
Yeah, you're shitty
What city would that be?
I just asked you to talk to their right
And they're right. What? Uh, I was gonna say some fucked up. I couldn't even think I was gonna say like san antonio
I don't I don't know where san antonio is that even in texas
Oh whoopsie daisy
Remember the alamo, I don't know i'm really bad
Yeah, for the longest time
Yeah, exactly
The longest time I thought I thought las vegas was in california, baby. I only recently learned in less for years that hose in nevada
Definitely not in california, but you can actually like drive and get there in like four hours from here
Specifically where i'm at you said you're like four hours. Yeah, it's not far
You go gambling
Well, I mean i'm pretty good at gambling i'm not gonna lie i've made like it's one time
I went to las vegas and I walked in with 20 bucks and I left with 600
Oh, he's breaking up no, what's my internet that's what it is my internet
Marcus what's going on son? Are you there my internet's breaking up again?
Yeah, i'm here you said one time you went to las vegas and
And then you went robot mode
Oh, I went to vegas and
I walked in with 20 and I left with 600
All right, all right
Sorry about that. Sorry about the internet thing
All right, no, that's fine what what um, I guess what game were you playing roulette just always bet on red
Doubling nothing every time cool
Around here. I think the only way you can legally gamble is if you go to a um
It's called a native american reservation and then go to their casinos and I think there is one in north carolina
Maybe I will go one day as a joke, but i've never been
Big on gambling or anything like that. I think it's funny how you can just lose everything in one instant other than that. Uh,
I don't find it too interesting
Yeah, gambling is not really for everyone. I only liked it when I was out there visiting but
It's not like I won't actively go out and do it again. You know what I mean?
I haven't gambled in years. Yeah
I much prefer fishing. Do you think gambling should be legal?
I'm on the fence about it. I feel like the the way that reservations are like while like
Uh, what's it called? Native american reservations. I feel like they should get a they should have a right to do that
I don't know about other places though. You know what I mean?
Yeah
When I went to vegas, I definitely noticed a lot of people who live there that were really like
Super addicted to gambling then I thought that's kind of that's kind of messed up. You know what I mean?
There's a dark side to it
No one ever talks about the seriousness about addiction
You said you've never talked about it
I mean like no one ever like brings up how serious a gambling addiction is because like you said you could lose it on an instant
Yeah, I mean yes
I I don't it's hard for me to understand how somebody can get addicted to it. I just like
I don't know my brain just functions. I guess different from those who who get addicted gambling because it is
So hard for me to understand how anybody could but I do understand it as a problem, you know for some
Yeah, I don't know
Gambling is a silly little thing
I've also I've just learned that I just don't really care what anybody does as long as it doesn't affect me. I just
Just got where I just don't really care if you want to go gamble. Go ahead. I don't care
I don't care
Hell, yeah gambling
Yeah, I haven't gambled in years. No, I think about it
Well brother go go pull go pull a band out and go play some blackjack blackjack, where is he?
Who's jack
Hey
So I got a question right I got a really big question and this is something that you studied
Where do you think climate change is going to go in the next 10 years?
Where do I think it's gonna go? Yeah, like how bad do you think it's gonna get in the next 10 years?
Um, I think
I think it's gonna get worse
Hold on hold that thought I hate but but I need to find my dog
We don't want the dog peeing on the floor
Okay, um, yeah so
climate change I uh
I think it's gonna get worse and I do believe that
What's being pushed is not the answer and I think it's hilarious
Um some of like the solutions that the general public think are actual solutions are very funny to me
Because they're like, oh dude, what are you talking about? Just get an electric vehicle
Oh gas stoves don't use a gas stove. I think those as a proposed solution are
So laughably bad. They're so funny
The the obvious problem here and like we had said earlier is you know
Is these large scale companies doing these massive industrial?
scale operations
That are causing these
massive amounts of emission
Yeah, it is driven by just money money money money. So
The the fact that you know, I hear a lot of like, you know
Okay, i'm not trying to call my dad or anyone here, but like he talks crap about electric vehicles and I agree with him
Because I think that they are a facade of a solution. They are not going to solve anything
They're not
Now I still got it. I don't know where you know
Yeah, I was about to say if like and I know, you know people say this a lot but
if you
Realize what it takes to get these metals to put in these batteries it is
So more unsustainable than just using gasoline. It is like pretty much on the same level
If not worse
It is so bad
And um
Yeah, electric vehicles are a facade. Um, I can't remember the other thing I was saying. Um
Damn I lost my what was the other I said electric vehicles were a facade
gas stoves
Gas stoves. Yes, that is another big push
I was watching the news of my uncle and seldom do I watch news because I think it's just a bunch of nonsense at this point
Yeah, there's a a protest going on
um with like pizza vendors in like new york because they're like trying to ban like, uh,
like charcoal
And like wood fire and propane gas stoves and cookers. I don't like that is so funny
I mean, okay
I get you know, maybe in a localized area all of these pizzerias running at once
Can cause a little bit of concern but the fact that
That it is like a bill in like an agenda that is like legitimately trying to be pushed as oh
This really would help climate change. I think is just nonsense
I'm saying this with my experience i've learned in school
it is I
I don't like using this word because I think it's a meme but it's like a psyop
It is not going to have the solution. It is not the solution you think it is electric cars are not the solution
You think they are?
Uh gas fires stoves and things of that nature are not what you think they are
It is not going to solve the problems we have
it might put a dent a small dent in it, but
Until the you know, real issues are tackled. It's it's just nonsense
It's like uh, it's like you mentioned earlier with the pig farms and like the water getting dirty, right?
Like companies do this massive large scale
Like contamination of fresh natural water and then they say oh, um change your car for an electric one
It's like, okay, stop polluting the fucking water
Yeah, I mean yeah that and it's funny because when you see
Like these pushes for like oh green a greener america or green energy notice how
Many of these advertisements or these companies or whoever's pushing like
What they're saying?
I'm good
Please give me one second. Okay
I heard a dog barking
So, um, sorry you might hear uh dogs barking in the background my nephew's other he's just
Providing a little ruckus for the dogs. He's barking. I just didn't want you know, let's not always be heard
Okay, i've already lost my train of thought again we were talking um
Big companies polluting you we were on
Companies polluting. Yes. Notice how these advertisements and these pushes for green america are all coming
Uh from these uh entities that are larger than the average person
Uh, the focus needs to be put the other way around it needs to be put pressure needs to be put on
These large-scale companies doing large-scale operations
Uh, not on the average citizen
And for this reason and um, I do believe, you know single-use plastics are bad, you know, like straws and stuff
But i'm gonna be honest with you buddy
You using a plastic straw
versus you know
a company
a company, um blowing off the top of a mountain in like libya and um
Destroying the entire like local water like quality just so they can get some you know
Some sweet old lithium and cobalt for some batteries is like
Definitely the problem we should be tackling not somebody having a plastic straw now granted
You know, like I said single-use plastics are bad and I do believe that is a big problem
We are wasteful when it comes to using plastics, but um, uh
The bigger focus here and the guy who's got the bigger piece of pie
And is being more greedy is uh, you know these people with who are making a lot more money off of it than we are
Yeah, these giant companies that have an agenda, you know
Yeah, i'm not yeah exactly. I know that it keeps circling back around to that
But that's pretty much what a bowl is down to it's it's pretty crazy
um how
The um the political like uh
Agenda is pushed to like oh the common citizen needs to do more. They need to stop being so wasteful. It is
It's not the common citizen, dude
It is not the common citizen at all and I don't like when
Um, either side portrays that I mean, of course, you know, don't be wasteful. I don't i'm not wasteful or anything
And I am very conscious about how I use, you know resources
You still should be conscious
but the uh the focus that needs to be on
the obvious hard hitters
Uh, not not us. We are like literal shrimp compared to whales
Of people running these things. It's crazy
I like that analogy because you think about how little a shrimp will consume right tiny amounts of whatever whatever crumbs are on the ground
And whereas a whale will swallow gallons of water and just siphon everything out
Absolutely, like decimating stuff. You know what I mean? Exactly
It's the same idea just with yeah with the super wealthy
I mean real talk. I'd love to be super wealthy though
What do you think logan
well, I mean like I mentioned how like it's just super wealthy who are like
Just just decimating things and then they say you need to you need to recycle
It's like, okay, that's not going to do much when you're over here like destroying shit
Am I breaking up again?
I can't really understand the question. I just heard you say recycling
Exactly recycle and i'm like, yes
Recycling is cool
Recycling is great
What is it you said? I have no I already forgot
I'm sweating
dude, you would be
You'd be you'd be surprised how many times i'll say a sentence and then two seconds later after the lesson. It's pretty astronomical action
I know I had to remind you twice about what we were talking about
Oh, yeah, see I already forgot. I know that's third a third attempt
I'm just gonna send some more memes
All right, that's fine so that that picture seen on instagram of that ramen noodles you asked me
Five years ago if I had access to those to which I responded
My roommate buys them him and his girlfriend buy them and you told me that you wanted some
And I don't know are those ramen noodles good. Is that why you sent that or
They're the they're one of the top of the list
My favorite ones and I have some bad news
Right in those five years. I found a store nearby that sells them
The only problem is we kind of live in a
Kind of a messed up part of california, you know, very very small town very
I don't want to mention the political term, but at some point covet 19 hit right
And then we had a little bit of a
COVID-19 hit right?
And
The sad part about that is this was an asian store. So I love going there to buy all these endo me packs
And I don't know what happened, but after covet no one went there. So it closed down
I've lost access yet again. I mean
Wow, a lot of people are like
Like I think it is like the epitome of
Stupid when people like legitimately
blame like a like normal like asian american people for covet
I have had this. Yes exactly awful and funny to me
Why exactly nothing wrong?
That's probably why they probably got stereotyped and
Yeah, that's probably what happened. Honestly. I know it's so fucked up. I hate it. I mean me myself
Being mexican american. I've been stereotyped a lot before too
Does it feel good?
Yeah, I can see that I
I remember there was one time my friend pulled a prank on me
And I will never forget this it was one of the most scared moments and also confused moments ever had in my life
He he was friends with a group of black guys, and I remember I was walking from
Uh, I was walking from oh my god. What was it? Uh,
Driver's ed with him. I was walking from driver's ed back to my car
And I was like a sophomore in high school and I was like just finishing up puberty
I was you know, really really skinny because that's when I was you know, starting to get high on me
and uh
I don't know what he did
But he somehow like got like these group of like black seniors. They were like they were old. Um
And I was walking and I was like hey, what'd you say?
And I just I just kept walking. I don't think they were talking to me. Hey, and I hear hey bro

The side of the sink and yanked herself back and like I like hit my head on her back
You know, dude, I was in tears. I was laughing so hard
Caught me off guard
Oh, I just imagined that she was waiting for you. That's what that was
Wait you said what she was fully expecting you that's what that was for sure
She was like she's gonna she was like he's gonna pull some bullshit. I gotta be ready
She uno reversed you
Oh marcus, I can't you you poor young you poor young lamb. I can't understand you
My bad, my accent's coming through
My mexican accent you said
She fully expected what no she fully expected you to do some bullshit so
She reacted accordingly
Did you share
That's how my girl is
So when you said that you uh, you catch you catch like uh catfish stuff
Do you like uh, do you eat them or you just throw them back?
Uh, it depends on how big they are like the bigger they are the more likely i'll eat it
but I mostly give them to like
When I was fishing them and getting like the really big ones
I would give them to my grandma and she'd make a soup out of them
Oh catfish soup, yeah, it was really good
Sounds that sounds good
Oh my god, I got a funny story to tell you. Hold on. Go ahead. Yeah. No, no you go ahead. I want to hear this
Okay, so I I uh, I have a lot of um hispanic friends all or irmaxican friends
Um, actually most of my friend group is dominated by mexican friends like my friend group consists
Of three mexicans and one white guy and then another white guy, uh, not locally he moved away
um
So i've been friends. Uh, i'm sort of familiar with you know, uh mexican cuisine
And there was one time
Uh my friend leon
He gave me uh some soup to eat
And I was like, hey, uh, this is pretty good
And I noticed uh, there was some meat floating in it. I just you know scooped up ate it tasted a little weird
But I was like, that's you know, that's whatever
Uh, and I care I said my hey, you know, that's seems really good. Uh, what was the meat that was in it?
So oh it was turtle meat
I was like what?
I'm like dude. I did not I was like he was like it was turtle. I think he said turtleneck
And I was like bruh, you did not tell me you made turtle soup. What the hell?
What the hell now I angle cap. All right. It was kind of good. It had a very weird like
Taste to it
But it was kind of enjoyable
Uh, but the broth was like unmatched. It was delicious
Um, but that was pretty funny. He also jump scared me with tacos. This was when I was really young
I didn't know
I'm sure you already know where this is going. I didn't know that um
hispanics or mexicans
Um a kowtow. I had no idea. I was like 10
I had no idea so i'm over at his house and he gives me tacos, you know, i'm eating them again same situation
Like yo this meat kind of tastes good
And I was like, what is it? He's like, oh, I don't know
And I asked him again like like two years later. I'm like, what was that meat in a taco?
He's like, oh my mom told me not to tell you because she was scared you freaked out. What was it? Oh, it was kowtow
I was like, oh
okay
But um, i've come now and I understand kowtung is just very delicious and uh, it is not weird
I was just a weird a quirky little white boy
Did they ever tell you how to pronounce in spanish?
How to pronounce what uh kowtung tacos like how to pronounce in spanish
uh
Tacos de lengua. There you go
Damn, you actually nailed that shit. Holy shit. Yeah, I was hoping to give you a spanish uh spanish license, but now you nailed that shit
Appreciate it. I try and hold on to as much spanish as I can. It was one of my favorite subjects
There's another thing too, uh, if you ever get the chance to eat this meat called a birria, that's my favorite fucking food like ever
Birria, that's what it's called super soft meat. He said it's called uh
Birria, is that how you say it? Birria. You gotta roll your r's. It's kind of hard
Yeah, i've never been able to do that
So it's a um
What is it? What kind of meat is it?
it's just uh
regular like chunks of beef, but it's in a broth that is
Really really slow roasted to the point where it's just like you put a fork in it and it just goes right through
It's super tender
Nice that sounds good. I'll send you i'll send you a recipe for it. You might be able to make it at home
It's super easy. Actually, it's very simple. That's why I like it
If you can make it in a crock pot, I'll do it. I think you can actually
Awesome
I um, I had um, I can't roll the r's
Um, but I had those kind of tacos at one of my local mexican restaurants or a tex mex restaurants
Um, it was not very good. I remember thinking it was kind of bad. It had like no flavor. It was very bland
um
But i'm sure if i'm making it at home
I would like it, you know, i'd better be able to spice it up more
That is a fun thing to point out though. There are a lot of places that get birria wrong
I love pronouncing it because I just like flexing on it. But no there's a lot of places that like
When they say that they have it
That what they mean is like they have like meat boiled in a soup and it's not the same
It's got to be a very specific cut of meat, but when you do get it right, it's like
Fuck, you know what I mean? That's me right there. Excuse me for swearing. I know you have kids in the room
Yeah
Yeah, I can see that yeah
I'm all jittering with excitement thinking about birria. It's like my favorite food in mexican culture
Well, there's a bunch of them I like but like that's the one that comes to mind
That's probably the one that's easier to access like out there in the you're in the east coast, right?
Yeah, east coast east coast i've only been there once i'm gonna go back
Oh dear marcus you're breaking up son, I know you know what it is. It's the temperature as well. It's 110 today
Uh, i'm sorry. It's my internet. I'd love to keep recording
But I think we should I think we should pause now because my internet's gonna keep fucking up
Okay, yeah, sorry about that we love having you on though that was awesome
Yeah, yeah no problem, um, I enjoyed it
Um, i'm glad I was able to do that. I'm glad I was able to do that. I'm glad I was able to do that
Um, i'm glad I was able to talk about uh, kayfos. I sent you that link if you want to be born to it
um
Yeah, it's it's just a crazy subject glad I was able to come on and contribute
I'm actually gonna put that link in the uh podcast description. I enjoyed it. It was very fun
Man, you said what i'm gonna put the the link that you sent me in the description of the podcast
So if people are interested they can click there and read more about it as well
Okay, all right, that'd be great exactly because we need we need to get more eyes on this this is fucking like this is big news
You know what I mean?
Yeah
Like it's the hogs produced so okay
hogs produce I believe it's uh 13 times more waste than a human does and then you take you know
a uh a kayfo that has like
I don't know how many hogs but at more than 500
I would assume and you put them all together and they're constantly just expelling waste
It's so much of a problem that the methane they release is an issue
That they're capping um the hog houses and using the methane as a natural gas source
Which is pretty cool. Actually, that's a good way to mitigate it
Yeah, um, but you know these hog these like lagoons are like really bad
Especially when they flood it's just as bad
the poo lagoon
Literally, yeah
That's fucking nasty
Um, but also very important to talk about because again, I know a lot of things right?
But when I learned something and I hear something that I never never heard about it's a big deal for me because it's like
This is important. I need to know this so yeah, i'm gonna i'm gonna read into that link
I was actually looking through it when you uh, you said like excuse me. I gotta look for my dog
I I was I was reading through it
