So I'm not gonna lie, I had an entire episode already done, but this is me going back and deleting it,
because to be honest, the episode previously, this has happened on occasion, but never have I ever
gone back and genuinely thought, what the hell is wrong with me? I've been, you know, I've been
busy this week, but I listened to the episode prior to this one, right? I was only eight minutes in,
and I just stopped, like, wow. What the hell's wrong with me? It was not my best work. Having said
that, I got a sinking feeling recently, and I think I should talk about it. I think that's really
bothering me, to be honest. The main reason being is, normally whenever you have a sinking feeling,
you know, it bothers you. You have stuff in the back of your mind, and you think, okay, I'm never
gonna actually say this, or you know, it's gonna eat away at you. You should not do that. Always
speak your feelings, okay? Whether it's towards someone or towards yourself. To be honest, in this
case, it's something that I need to talk about with all of you. We can't just ignore what happened in
Texas in 2021. The freeze, you know, like all the snow hitting, it was bad. It was really bad.
No one was prepared, so I thought, why don't we go over some things, you know, just to be on the
safe side. Wherever you're from, wherever you're living, this is gonna be, think of it as a little
unofficial safety guide. Anyway.
Before I finish what I was about to say earlier, I want to address something that some people saw
on my Twitter, and I gotta be the bigger man and admit it. I was planning on getting a billboard,
one of those $40, 15 second billboards in Times Square, but things did not go as planned
whatsoever. So we just canceled it, period. I don't know what it was about my logo, the logo itself,
right? I was just gonna put the logo up there in Times Square for 15 seconds for 40 bucks.
I don't know what it was. The app deemed it illegal, which I don't know about that, but,
you know, I'm not gonna question it. I tried it a few times. It didn't work. They didn't let me email
them. They didn't let me do anything. Fuck that app. So we're just gonna go traditionally and just
let the podcast be discovered by people, all right? Cool, great. Anyway, let's talk about what
happened in, in Texas during the blizzard. Because how often do you hear the words Texas and Blizzard
in the same sentence? Listen, I hate to be the bearer of bad news. I'm usually the guy that does
the opposite, right? But we gotta be realistic about things. This winter is gonna be cold.
I have a sinking feeling, you know what I mean? I'm normally, unfortunately, I'm normally good
at these things, okay? I've predicted a few things in the past and I don't wanna say that I am,
but, you know, there's a chance. And also, you know, it's just a general good rule of thumb to
know things. Like, the people in Texas didn't know that their fireplaces had to be cleaned.
That's the problem. They had a lot of soot buildup and a lot of stuff living in chimneys,
or that was just stuck in the chimney that wasn't cleaned out properly. Soot does build up over time.
You gotta wash it out. You know, you gotta clean it out. What do you think chimney sweepers were
for? You know, back in the day, back in the old Victorian times, they used a lot of indoor heating
with a fireplace, but they had a chimney sweep specifically designed to go in and like every day
clean it out. We don't have that anymore. We don't have that luxury. There are these special logs
that if you're living in the state of Texas, anywhere really, if you're living anywhere,
there should be these logs that if I remember correctly, I think they're still on the market,
you would burn them and they would actually clean the soot instead of you having to go in and clean
it out yourself. However, I haven't heard of them in a while. Let me make sure they're still around.
Here it is. I'm not sponsored by this product in any way, shape, or form, but if you do have a
fireplace, for the love of God, use these at least once. It's called a creosote sweeping log, the
it's called a creosote sweeping log, the CSL. If you have a fireplace, get a CSL. Okay.
Let's see here. There's actually quite a few options and they range from anywhere from $20 to
$50. That's actually quite a bit. There's a lot of stuff. Jesus, that's a lot.
Enjoy your fireplace while cleaning the, um, I don't know. It's funny seeing all the, all the
commercials, right? Anyway, let's skip forward. Okay. I want to go back a bit. Sorry. Um, these
logs are good for cleaning it out in a rush, but there are no replacement for the actual cleaning.
So by all means, get it done. Let's skip forward a bit and let's talk about things that I know.
One thing that I do know about preparations for things, you know, natural disasters is kind of a
strong suit. What do I mean by this? I mean, I've been in plenty because I used to travel. Okay.
There's a thing that I, there's a thing that I haven't done in a while. Okay. There's a certain
muscle that I need to flex because it's been too long and I don't want to lose it. You know what
I mean? What do I mean by this? I mean preparation. I used to be not a prepper, but I used to be a guy
who would over-prepare when I was doing OTR. I would be prepared for rain, sleet, snow. I had a
fire starter on board. I had a, I, the only thing I didn't have was a gun. I wasn't allowed to carry
one, but I had a knife, a lot of stuff. Okay. Dry goods, things that wouldn't expire for a long time.
All of these are important to have. If not immediately on you, just somewhere nearby,
but this is different. Winter. Okay. Of all the times that I could tell you that I've survived
things that I really shouldn't have, I got to tell you right now, the cold is something to not joke
about. Humans are not built to, they're not built to live in the cold. They're not built to withstand
the freezing temperatures that might come with a new winter. What I'm saying is I'm very concerned
about climate change. I'm almost certain that it's going to happen because here in the fucking
place that I live, it's already taken effect. So I'm just thinking, all right, might as well prepare.
Okay. You want to know how serious I am? I have a stash of firewood. How often do you hear that in
California? No, not often. Okay. It's actually just old refuse, like wooden, wooden furniture.
That's like gone bad. And we just like take it, tear it to pieces. I think every Mexican family
has that actually. We all have the burn pile, I guess, whenever we have a lumbre, you know what
I mean? That's just the thing. That's the thing that happens. But what if you don't have that?
See, a lot of the things that I noticed that happened during the Texas, the Texas freeze,
along with some other stuff that could potentially happen this year, I think of power outages,
because a lot of people rely on indoor heating and that's fine. Okay. If you're, if you have
electricity, you got solar, perfect. Good for you. You're going to have some sort of electrical
source. You know what I mean? But what if that goes down? You need a plan B is what I'm saying.
And a lot of what I've, a lot of the research that I initially did is from things that I learned
myself. But at the same time, I also learned things from the FEMA website. I learned things
from survivor, man, the guy himself, not the show. Uh, he has a YouTube channel, by the way.
There's a thing that people did during the, during the blizzard that I think about often.
And it is the most terrifying thing for me when it comes to that situation, you know, aside from
the freezing cold and that is makeshift fires. If you guys are going to start a fire, do it with
clear ventilation. Okay. I cannot stress this enough. You will absolutely, you know, choke
yourself out. There's no oxygen in the room and there's, um, carbon monoxide carbon monoxide is
what I was thinking about. Monoxide has no odor. Okay. It's a really silent killer, but there are
symptoms of it. Okay. Carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach,
vomiting, chest pain, and confusion. The last one is very important to remember confusion. Okay.
Cause a lot of people will have the first things and think, okay, I'm getting sick because it's
getting cold and we made this fire. That's fine. You need to understand within the first two hours
of contact, the headache, the nausea may occur. Life threatening symptoms will occur after three
hours, three hours. That's not a long time. Okay. And this could be mitigated in one way.
The way is open a window, open a door. I, if you can move the fire outside, okay. In fact,
start the fire outside to begin with worst case scenario. Okay. Yeah. You're going to have,
you're going to have it really cold inside, but that's better than, you know, suffocating. You do
not want that. Man, why am I even making this episode? You know what? Just cause. Okay. I like
being informative. Okay. I don't know about you guys, but I like knowing shit and I like having
an archive of something. And so that's what I'm going to do here. This is the most basic thing.
I could tell you, right? Start a fire, most likely gas lines in the case of a natural disaster or a
really horrific event, most likely they'll be down. You're going to need a match. You're going to
need a match. And here's the thing I noticed too. Some people don't know how to light fires. A very
basic one too. Okay. You need a source of fuel. And by fuel, I mean like pieces of wood, like hefty
wooden furniture, preferably something not lacquered. Okay. Something not painted, just bare wood.
Okay. Also I'm talking like logs and stuff. Okay. Really big chunks of wood. That's going to be your
fuel. The thing is it doesn't start up with a single match. That's where people get it wrong.
You need to start a smaller fire. The way you do that is to get the match and you need tinder,
tinder kindling. Okay. Some sort of kindling, dry grass works perfectly. You can also get a bird's
nest, which we actually have a lot of these out here. So we're, we're good. Or, and this is
something I actually learned thanks to the modern rogue, by the way, thank you modern rogue for this
one. If you get a knife, a decently sharp one, you get a pair of jeans and you start scraping very
carefully. Don't cut yourself, scrape the jeans themselves. You'll get a very, very fine, very
fine fiber that, and that thing burns almost instantly. That stuff works pretty well. And
again, thank you modern rogue for that. I actually had no idea. I learned that from Brian Brushwood.
Thank you, man. That's awesome. I love learning that, but yeah, these things are important to
learn. So tinder, you know, kindling, tinder, I'm using those words interchangeably. I would just
use kindling from now on. Kindling, a match, like that stuff. And you need a small source of fire,
you know, make it, make it small and then keep it going. Keep, make, make it slightly bigger,
sticks, you know, small pieces of wood. Or in many cases, you can also get, I'm looking around the
room actually. Like, let's say this is a scenario where I need to make a fire right now, right?
Let's say I've got some spare clothing. I'm looking at my old socks specifically. Okay.
Something that will be of no use to you in the cold. And I'm looking at fiber socks that are like
frayed and torn apart. Socks you were going to throw away to begin with or socks without a pair.
Hold one above the fire. It'll start burning, drop it in and there you go. Don't use too many.
You're going to, you're going to want the, the string from those, from those socks. But if you
could spare one or two, go ahead and throw that in. That'll be a decent fire right there.
So you've got your basics down. You've got a fire going and now you're in a house with dry goods.
And the problem is you go to turn on the sink and there's dirty water or no water at all comes out.
What do you do? Well, again, we're talking in, in terms of the cold. Okay. Let's say it's
snowing outside. In that case, bring in a lot of snow in a pot and melt it down. Don't drink it
right away. You can't drink water. That's, you know, still dirty. I mean, it may have been snow,
but that doesn't mean it's purified. It's still dirty. Still got contaminants in there. Try to
get as much leaves and stuff out of it. You know what I mean? A water purifier in this case would
work perfectly. But if you don't have one, well, first off PG&E actually sells them online. They're
actually very cheap. They sell them at a loss actually. In fact, they're, they have gallons of
like, like they'll purify gallons of water with a tiny pack. If you've never seen them online,
you'd be surprised. They're really good to keep in an emergency situation. That way you can purify
water. So even if it comes out of the sink, filthy, you can wash it out. You know what I mean? And it'll
be perfectly potable drinking water because water is incredibly important. Okay. But let's see,
you don't have that. Okay. You've melted down snow. Now I've got some dirty water. Boil it,
you know, just boil it. Ideally, you could also use a Brita filter at this point.
I would do it after boiling just cause I feel like Brita filters are good, but they're not,
you know, they're not a life or death situation kind of thing. There's also a form of distilling
water, which is difficult, but you could do it. If you have a small pot that the water is boiling
and you need a much bigger pot, put it over it. But again, this is, it sounded very simple, right?
The thing is it's going to start dripping off the sides and you need some bigger vessel underneath
the fire that's not burning. You see, it's very difficult. So in this case, just, just keep some,
just keep some sort of purification. Water purification tablets are also very cheap. You
can find them online and in big five, you can find them anywhere. You know, I go to camping sections
and sporting goods stores a lot. And I noticed that there are an abundance of things there. In
fact, when I mentioned water, we can also mention food, right? Dry goods are very easy to come by.
You get beef jerky. In fact, when I was doing OTR, there's a lot of people that had the habit of
buying like $50 or a hundred dollars worth of beef jerky and they were good for weeks. Like they
were good for, I mean them specifically, they were okay with for weeks eating that stuff or honestly,
the beef jerky, if it goes untouched, it can go for months. They don't really expire. They're
dried meat. You know what I mean? Preferably if you can make it yourself, that's fine too,
but get the most natural thing you could find. There's a lot of stuff that's got,
well, I don't know. It's a lot of sweeteners. I'm going to diet. Okay. I got to find what I eat.
In order to lighten the news, sometimes I have to say some stuff that makes no sense. So I'm
going to lighten it right now because I feel like I've been really serious the whole episode.
Daily dose of internet just uploaded a video that made me fucking cackle. Okay. It made me cackle.
Some lady or some guy, I actually don't know. It doesn't matter. Some person got a piece of an
apple and put it under their dog's nose. And when the dog smelled the apple, it started humping the
air. Like what the fuck? That was their, their habit. You know, they smell apples and they start
humping the air. I used to have a dog that did something similar where if you try to scratch
his head for too long, he would just jump up, grab your hand, put his penis in your fingers.
It was disgusting. I kind of miss Max. He's not the current Max. We have Max like the fifth,
Max, the fifth generation, Max of second. That's the one I'm talking about. I was a kid when it
happened. I was so disgusted too, cause I was like, eww, little me was a little shit.
Anyway, that's, that's your moment of lightness back to seriousness. I hate to be that guy. In
fact, I know a lot of you people don't know this and I don't want to break the illusion by any
chance, but if you watch Bear Grylls, you know, survive, Bear Grylls specifically, okay. Man
versus wild. That show is a sadly a decent amount of it is bullshit. Okay. I'm talking like real
bullshit. Survivor Man on the other hand, I don't know if you've ever heard of it, but it's a
show that is actually based on a man who survived a lot. And the best part is the actual person,
I forget his name, Lee Strout, I believe. Yeah, I was right. I was less Strout. He's like an
actual survivor guy. Okay. He'll actually go out and record his own thing. He doesn't have a camera
crew or anything. It's all him. And he teaches you valuable things. In fact, I watched him a lot
growing up and now I still watch him as an adult because he makes YouTube content. And it's
refreshing because he got all of the episodes of surviving winter, surviving summer, different
places of the world. And he put them on YouTube for free. You could just watch them. Okay.
Which is normally a much better scenario in this case, you know, cause I saw two of his episodes
on surviving the cold winters. The difference is he didn't, he didn't have access to a house. This
was out in the snow. Admittedly a much more realistic thing too, because if you're in a
house and there's no electricity or heat and you're miles away from the nearest town, you're going
to have to go into the wilderness and do something at some point. I'm not going to go too deep into
it. There was, um, there was an event that I had when I was a young truck driver. And a lot of you
people do know about this. Okay. The early listeners of the podcast know this story,
but there was a story where I had to sleep in the middle of a desert, no civilization around,
and I had half a bottle of water. I was okay because the thing is there's a thing that some
people are self conscious about, right? Body fat. The thing is I was a chubby guy, so I had no
problems looking for food. What do I mean by that? I mean, I didn't need to. My body just burned off
some fat and I was fine. The problem is the half bottle of water. That's where I learned the hard
way that your body really, really needs water, even when you're freezing cold. Okay. I was
I mean, it's very important to it. The thing is I was unaware that hypothermia actually works
quicker if you're dehydrated. I did not know that. So yes, it is important to melt snow and drink it,
but you got to make sure it's melted. There's a thing that people did wrong and that's eating
the snow and that would just chap your lips and dehydrate you further. Don't do that. Seriously,
that stuff is dirty water. You got to clean the stuff. Okay. Good. Now let's talk about sources
of food because there's not many in a cold, cold environment. Let's say, you know what? I honestly,
the best thing for you to do right now is to have just cans of food. Okay. They don't even have to
be there for like, you don't have, you have, well, what was that? What was that? You don't have to get
something every year. You know what I mean? A lot of people will stock up and then restock.
And the thing is in my family, if we looked at the pantry, we saw all the things that we had in cans,
we would be fine for about a month just on canned food alone and dry goods. We make it a habit of
buying beans and rice in immense bulk. Okay. 40 pound bags each. And you know what? That's
going to last a hell of a lot longer than a can. You know what I mean? Well, not a hell of a lot
longer. It depends on how you utilize it. The way we did it is we'd make beans, a lot of it, right?
We'd put it in bags. We put it in the freezer. That's how we did it. And if we were hungry,
we would just thaw it out and it tasted like new. You ever had a bag of frozen beans that were
already cooked? When you reheat it, it doesn't taste frozen and tastes fresh. And it's actually
really, it's a really helpful tip. Even if you're not surviving, just make some beans or make them
in immense bulk, put them in a bag and just freeze them. It's actually pretty good. Like they, they
cook, they're already cooked. You just got to thaw them out and heat them up again. We're going
to reach the elephant in the room in just a moment. But before we do, I want to take a moment to thank
every single one of you who, um, who's listening to the podcast or supporting me, even if you're
subscribed to the Patreon or not. Some of you have been subscribed to the YouTube channel. Views have
been going up. I thank you all immensely. Okay. You have no idea. Okay. I know I've been doing this
for what? Two years, a little more now. And I feel grateful that you people have even bothered to
listen. Seriously. A lot of you have been quiet. A lot of you have been silently listening and,
and I noticed because I look at the analytics and I think there's so many people, I never get emails,
but there's so many people. And you know what? Just the fact that you listened or gave it a shot.
I appreciate that. I appreciate that more than you could ever know. I just want to take a moment to
thank you all. Okay. Now the elephant in the room, Bear Grylls, you cannot drink your own urine.
Don't do that shit. If you're dehydrated enough to the point where you feel like you need to drink
your own urine, you're too dehydrated to do it. You have to be very well hydrated to drink your own
urine. And you can only do it once. And it's a bad idea because there's ammonia in your piss. Okay.
It's just not a good idea. You're better off using your urine to clean your clothes. And I am not
joking. The ancient Romans did that. Okay. They would actually collect urine. There was a P tax
at some point. Okay. I'm not kidding. Look at this. Look at this up. There was a P tax because
urine was a valuable commodity in ancient Rome because instead of using any sort of bleach or
anything else, they would clean their clothes with urine, which really begs the question as to what
the hell they smelled like back then. Ew. Just use fucking bleach. Nevermind. Speaking of cleaning
agents, there's something that I know how to do that you guys already know because I'm always
fucking bragging about it. The soaps that I made. I think hypothetically you could still make that
in a, you know, in a world where electricity and the heating system no longer works, but you have
access to fire. You could still do it. The thing is back then the way they would make it, right?
And listen closely, you'd get some clean water, as clean as you can get it. Unfortunately,
you will have to use drinking water for this. You mix in ashes. Okay. You're going to stir it in until
it's a very cloudy solution. And that's going to be essentially lye water. Or it's going to be water.
I forget. It's like it's lime or something. I forget what it is, but this is important.
You mix it in and then you get some fat, but you know, animal fat, very basic stuff. You mix a
certain ratio of it. I forget which one, the kind that I have. It's very hard to explain.
Let me look up that ratio actually. I have it right here on me at all times on my phone
and I never have to explain it out loud. The difference is this is lye that I'm talking about.
Okay. Here it is. You're going to want 80 milligrams of that material and 600. It's 80 to 600.
So 80 milligrams of sodium hydroxide in this case to 600 grams of fat. The difference is in this case,
the sodium hydroxide is mixed with 200 milliliters of distilled water. This is a chemically, you know,
this isn't a regular kitchen. That's how I make it. The thing is it would be very different. I
don't have a measuring for this soap making. Unfortunately, there are a lot of recipes online
though, right? Where you just get regular animal fat soap and it's a thing that people have been
doing for years. It shouldn't be too hard to make it on your own, but I'm saying that it would take
a month to cure. That's the problem with this soap making is that if you already have soap at home,
just use that. Okay. Disinfectant is very important in, you know, in this scenario as well. So it
keeps some of that at hand. Again, prevention, you know, a plan ahead is what I'm trying to say.
Okay. What the fuck was that prevention? I don't know what I'm talking about. Look,
why would I even mention any of this? Okay. Again, I have a sinking feeling if I'm wrong,
thank the bank, whatever heaven above. Okay. Because I don't want to be right in this scenario.
Imagine just imagine a bad winter coming and it's so fucking freezing that it just,
it just stopped everything. You know what I mean? We already had a flood. Fuck. I mean,
is it not reasonable to think something cold is coming in winter? Yeah, probably not too bad.
And it's just, it sucks. You know, it makes you think, um, it makes you think what if, you know,
anyway, I still need to use the kayak in an actual body of water. Yeah, we're back to this. I know.
But here's the thing that I'm thinking of, right? I have a fishing pole and I don't have a fishing
and I don't have a fishing license. So I'm not going to go fishing, but I want to. So I'm
thinking of getting a month pass and then going kayaking. The problem is the kayak that I have
inflates with a pump that can easily burst with a fucking, you know, with a fishing rod,
with the hook specifically, it just goes right in there. It pops that shit. That'd be embarrassing.
You imagine having to swim back to shore because you popped your damn kayak. Yeah, that's embarrassing.
I've got some damn good fish though. Probably funny enough. I have stories about me catching fish
and never knowing what to do with them, but I'm glad that I learned because at some point I did
catch a rainbow trout and I had someone who taught me how to open it, gut it, and then scale it.
You're supposed to scale it first, but that's how I was taught. You know, you scale it by,
you know, the scales are going to go, think of how the fish swims through the water, right?
The scales are going to be aiming towards his tail. So you're going to go tail first,
carve towards the head. Why am I saying this? I guess in a scenario, like I was mentioning earlier,
you could still have a body of water nearby to fish. If you don't, you're going to have to know
what local animals are nearby to hunt. But in my case, I have a lot of bodies of water to go fishing.
Good for me. So, you know, tail to head first, start dragging a knife across it or a very sharp
stone and whatever you have on hand and just keep doing that until no scales fly off. Those scales
are not edible. The rest of the fish is. So, you know, I guess except for the bones, don't eat the
bones or when you're done eating the fish, save the bones and boil them and make a fish stock,
which you want to use within a day or two. Honestly, it's not, you don't have refrigeration.
God damn. Okay. So that's how I learned, right? And after you scale it, you cut it open,
watch the intestine. You don't want to cut too deep and cut open the, uh, the bile and all the
dirty shit inside. And if you do, you got to wash it out. Or at the very least, if you have more fish,
throw that one out or give it to a dog or whatever nearby, right? I often forget that too. Whenever,
whenever there's a scenario where it's like, shit hits the fan and you don't have electricity or
gas or running water, what are you going to do with your pets? You know, that's my biggest fear. I
have a lot of dogs and I love each and every one of them. I'd never hurt them. In fact,
if it's a end of the world scenario and I have to feed my dogs, I'm going to feed them first.
They're my little babies. Okay. Damn. Especially Max. I've had him since he was a puppy. There's
videos of me running on him at the beach. Like, what the fuck am I trying to say? Okay. There's
videos of me at Pismo beach running alongside my dog. Why? Because he was small and didn't know how
to run. He was stammering everywhere. It was so cute. I love him. He's only a year old, but he's
already the father of seven babies. And there he is crying. Actually. I'm glad you can't hear that
in the mic. Um, also the previous recording that I had, right? The reason I had to get rid of it,
first off a number of things. One, I was exhausted after work and I could, I just came home and I was
like, welcome back to the mood podcast. Come kill me Russia. You know, shit like that. That's what
I was saying. Genuinely, unironically that I should have been a blooper reel, but I deleted it
already. I don't think I want to go into that detail, but basically what I saw was that Russia
wants to try and take Alaska back. And I basically yelled, come and take it. But like, I'm not
patriotic. You know what I mean? Do I love this country? It's all right. It's got its problems.
I'll admit that when it comes to patriotism, I'm not the biggest guy. You know what I mean?
I see it the same as nationalism, which kind of think of it. You could, they're interchangeable
words, but still. And the episode previous, I don't know why. I think at some point I was crying into
the microphone. Again, don't record when you're not in the right mindset. I'm laughing at myself
now because I'm looking back thinking, what the fuck was I on? You know? And then I remembered
that I am on this new, I'm on this new supplement, but it doesn't do that. So I'm wondering what the
fuck that came from. It's also the diet. I'm putting my body through a lot of stress. The only
difference is I feel fucking good. I'll be honest. I've reached ketosis last week and I've had the
keto fever for a bit. You guys know what that is, right? Keto fever, cold sweats. You're not
actually sick, but your body thinks it is. It's acting that way. It's a bitch. Okay. My head hurt
for three days straight. And now I have this cough, which occasionally just comes up at random. My
occasionally just comes up at random. My body's just trying to act like it's sick, but it's not.
It's so annoying. My voice even changed mid-sentence. Anyway, that's going to do it
for this episode of the Meatweed Podcast. Thank you all for listening. The YouTube video came out
and honestly, the reception has been astronomical. Thank you all so much for that. I made a short
with one of the clips in the YouTube video and it got like a thousand views. So I do appreciate
that you guys have been spreading the word. If you haven't, please share this podcast, share the video,
bug your parents, bug your family, do everything. Okay. I still have the merch in the merch store,
but I also have a book that I'm selling and currently I'm working on another one.
I have two books actually that I've been selling for years and I've made,
I think I've sold six, which is still amazing to me, right? Because the thing is my name is on a
book and it's in someone's shelf. That feels incredible to me. Even if you don't read the damn
book. Okay. It's there. That's what matters to me. I'm a published author. I feel fucking great
about that. I can brag about it and it feels nice, but I got to make another book. Otherwise,
it's not really, it doesn't really count. You know what I mean? Anyway, that's going to do it
for this episode of Meatweed Podcast. I'll see you all next week. Hopefully I'm not too busy this
weekend, but I am trying to get some more people to listen and I'm thinking of another ad campaign.
I don't know if the one that I have in mind is really ethical or going to work, but I know I'd
make a hell of a YouTube video. The problem is again, I, you know, I'm spit balling ideas.
They're not the best. I say unethical, like I'm going to kill something. No, dude. I was going to,
I was going to get some meat wheat stickers and tie them to a helium balloon and set them off.
That was it. But that's all I could think about right now. Anyway, I'll see you guys next week.
Thanks.
