8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
There's a reason I'm supporting him, giving him a shout out right now. I'm dead serious.

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Ads aside, check out his fucking page and get him some exposure, okay? I'm serious.

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:04,000
On to the podcast. See, this week I've been really busy. By really busy, I mean not really busy at all.

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,000
The reason being is because on the weekend I went to Morro Bay. We actually started recording a video.

14
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Me and my girlfriend, by the way. If you guys don't know, when we did the Hawaii trip, my girlfriend was there helping me record.

15
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
When we did the zoo trip video, my girlfriend was there to help me record as well.

16
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
This next one, she's also there and she took a video of me directly in the tiny submarine. I don't know, I just thought it was really funny.

17
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,000
But look for that later because I'm gonna upload it around the same day as I upload the podcast, which is gonna be on a Friday.

18
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,000
The thing is, when it comes to recording and uploading YouTube videos, it is significantly harder than you think.

19
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
That's why I do maybe a video a month at most.

20
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,000
But having said that, I think I wanna talk a little bit about the Morro Bay trip because there was a part of it that I got in the video

21
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
that it was nice, right? Like it was all funny videos and stuff.

22
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000
But I didn't go into detail enough and I really think I should because I just wanna do due diligence to what I saw.

23
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Alright.

24
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:21,000
So what the hell am I talking about in the beginning of the podcast?

25
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Well, let me put it this way. Very simply, very clearly, I went to Morro Bay and I went to the Morro Bay Maritime Museum with my girlfriend.

26
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,000
While we were there, there was a historian telling us about the story of this tugboat that's outside.

27
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:44,000
And this little tugboat is directly responsible for saving the lives of 38 people who were out in sea and whose ship was sinking.

28
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
There's a lot of history behind it, right?

29
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,000
The reason I didn't do due diligence in the video is because it's mostly for laughs and it's mostly for, you know, chuckles and whatnot.

30
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
But also, it's more of a...it's like a basic vlog, you know what I mean?

31
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,000
It's just...I feel like I could have done it more justice because the person who was helping us out

32
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,000
and explaining us in detail what happened in this historical event seemed to have a passion for it.

33
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,000
And this is my way of honoring that passion because if someone's passionate about something, you respect them for it, you know?

34
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,000
You show them the same level of interest that they show the...whatever they're talking about.

35
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,000
In this case, I feel like the video didn't go into detail enough and I'm gonna do that today.

36
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Here's something I didn't know before. This tugboat has a name. I just do it as the tugboat, okay?

37
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Wow, there's actually...there's a lot of stuff on my mic. Excuse the...excuse me pulling stuff off of it.

38
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,000
I have no idea why there's so much hair on my microphone. I guess my hair's finally starting to fall out no matter what I do to it.

39
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
So I guess I'm gonna be bald in about a year. Yay. Awesome. Great.

40
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
My dad's bald, his dad was bald, and it's just gonna keep happening so it is what it is.

41
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Anyway, this tugboat's name is Alma. It was, you know, your basic standard tugboat.

42
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:06,000
But this one stood out for a number of reasons. One...okay, two reasons. Very simple stuff, right?

43
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Well, this tugboat...let's see here. Let me pull up the article because it is very important.

44
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:20,000
On December 23rd, 1941, the Alma went out to the Montebello. This is a really big warship basically.

45
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000
That was actually sunk. And there was a number of people on board. I believe it was 38 people.

46
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Let's see here. Yeah, that's right. 38 people who were on the boat were saved by the tugboat Alma.

47
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Which, what surprised me the most is that it was sunk near the shores of Cambria.

48
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000
And I've been there before. I've been to Cambria, I've been to Morro Bay, I've done...

49
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,000
I've been in this area where significant historic events took place during World War II.

50
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,000
I had no idea that I was walking on such interesting ground. I thought it was cool.

51
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:01,000
I thought you people would think it's cool too. Right, let me correct something. It's actually a Union oil tanker.

52
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:09,000
It's very different than a warship. It's absolutely not a warship. It's a Union oil tanker.

53
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:15,000
The Montebello was a Union oil tanker. I want to clarify that because I don't want to get stuff wrong on this specific topic.

54
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Maritime people are very strict about their history. And you know, that's actually pretty cool seeing about it.

55
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000
The Montebello now lies under the water. It's at the bottom of the ocean north of Cambria.

56
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:36,000
And again, I had no idea that I was living so close to...living so close...I visited so many historic monuments.

57
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
It's just...it's interesting to me.

58
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Okay, that's about as much as I want to talk about it. But why talk about it?

59
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Well, in the video, I go over maybe...I go over the topic for like 10 seconds. That's it.

60
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:57,000
I wanted to give it more time and more respect because...I mean, credit where credit is due, 38 people were saved.

61
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:05,000
You know, that's a decent amount of people. And we had the luxury. We had the opportunity to actually go near the boat.

62
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,000
And I got to be honest, I don't know how 38 people could fit on this boat. It'd be very cramped.

63
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,000
But now that I'm looking closer, they definitely just went inside the boat. So, you know, that just makes sense.

64
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,000
But credit where credit is due. Thank you to the Alma for saving 38 people. I'm thanking a boat.

65
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
A...bloating vessel.

66
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Hey, this is aside from all the stuff that you were just hearing about.

67
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,000
This affects me directly because I'm a big fan, or I used to be a big fan of Bam Margera.

68
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Why the fuck did you threaten to smoke crack until you die?

69
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Oh, alright. To see his son, Phoenix.

70
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:51,000
I...oh my god, it's pretty messed up. Yeah, so he threatened to smoke crack until he dies unless he sees his son, Phoenix, which is kind of dark.

71
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,000
I don't...oh my god. The stuff you see celebrities do online, man, you know what?

72
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,000
It's fucked up. Maybe I don't want to be famous anymore. Don't make me famous, alright? Stop that.

73
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Right, I almost forgot. There's a quick update on the drink that I made. It's awful.

74
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,000
It's fucking awful. I mean, it tastes like...it doesn't taste like vinegar. It smells like sulfur.

75
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
And the taste is that of apple juice with all the happiness removed.

76
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000
The reason being is because I did not stabilize the...the yeast, the wine yeast.

77
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:28,000
So what we have instead is a very, very high alcohol drink that really should be distilled. It's incredibly powerful smelling.

78
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Oh, I hiccup so bad. I did not drink any, do not think that.

79
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,000
However, I do have a second one coming up. This one inspired by Wairs Balaki, who mentioned mead.

80
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:43,000
And I thought, you know what? I'm more than willing to do that. Mead is very easy to do. It's just too easy, you know what I mean?

81
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,000
So what I decided to do was spice it up with a little bit of spices from my spice rack. That's a lot of word, spicing.

82
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Um...what the fuck? Um...

83
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Okay, I got cinnamon, right, after I made the basic mead without actually introducing the yeast yet.

84
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,000
I got the sugar, I got the water, I got the honey. Here's what I did differently.

85
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:13,000
It's not just honey, okay? Instead of three pounds of honey, I got one pound of honey, organic honey, and two pounds of sugar and molasses.

86
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:22,000
You know, brown sugar. So I got that, and I had that mixed properly. And then before I did, um, before I just put it aside, I toasted a cinnamon stick.

87
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,000
I mean, I toasted, right? Crisped it up all over the place, broke it in half, put it inside.

88
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:33,000
This was last week when I started it. This week, I opened it and I smelled it and it smells like cinnamon gum.

89
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,000
I'm actually kind of excited to try it. I like cinnamon gum. It tastes good. Not the result that I thought.

90
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Because I did not think I'd get the cinnamon gum flavor. This tastes like, it doesn't taste like anything I haven't tried it yet.

91
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,000
But I also got a hydrometer in order to see how much alcohol is going to be in there.

92
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Listen closely. It's going to be very, very high alcohol ABV, but it's also going to be super sweet.

93
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:07,000
So let's see how that works. I'm also going to shelf it. I have, um, I finally got the star sand. I got the aging bottles. I got everything finally.

94
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:13,000
It cost me quite a penny, but okay. Quite a penny is like, like less than a hundred bucks.

95
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:18,000
It's not super expensive to make your own stuff, right? It's just, I seem to be going backwards.

96
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:24,000
I seem to be going back traditional ways, you know, making my own cheese, making my own wine, making my own bread.

97
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,000
I'm doing a lot of stuff the old fashioned way, right? What you would have done during the pandemic, I seem to be doing for fun now.

98
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000
I haven't played as much video games anymore. It's just not appealing to me. I just want to do stuff with my hands the older I get.

99
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:43,000
And I finally understand how my grandpa was when he was in his older age. He had his own shack. He would build things on his own.

100
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,000
I guess it rubbed off on me. Feels nice. Feels really nice.

101
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,000
I just saw a meme that reminded me of something that I used to do that bugged the crap out of my family.

102
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000
At some point when you gain consciousness, you just start asking questions, right? Like over and over again for everything.

103
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Insatiable thirst for knowledge basically is what it said. It was so funny. It was DJ Khaled pointing out a dish saying,

104
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
this is called what? This is called what? Just over and over again.

105
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:15,000
I did do something similar when I was a kid. I would just keep asking things over and over again for no reason.

106
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Insatiable thirst for knowledge, I guess. I guess the thing is, right? Hear me out. I'm 27 now. Or 26, damn.

107
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:30,000
I'm 26 and that hasn't gone away. I've always been curious. I've always wanted to see how things work.

108
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,000
I've always wanted to do things with my hands and now I'm doing it.

109
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
I'm no longer just sitting there thinking, yeah, I'll figure it out one day. No, no, no, no, no. If not now, then when?

110
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,000
I am going to do things with my hands and I'm going to figure out on my own how things work.

111
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Is it going to be easy? No, but it's going to be worth it because at the very end what you'll have is more knowledge because of it.

112
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:59,000
And that's what I'm doing now. That's what I realize. I even got a bread maker at some point and it wasn't that good.

113
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:05,000
I would prefer to make my own bread with my own oven. I forgot to mention something last week, which I'm glad that I saw it.

114
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Something was reminding me of it just now. My boy... Hang on, let me open the page. My boy Ace, my boy Ace your dad.

115
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:23,000
He made an Etsy and if you guys don't know what he makes, he makes pens by hand and they look fucking great. I'm not going to lie.

116
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:33,000
They're really good looking. Honestly, check them out. It's on his store. Conwoodworks.com.

117
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Check them out. It's great stuff. Honestly, I love it. There's a reason I love it though.

118
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Let me tell you something right now. You know your boy loves a good piece of wood. The harder the better.

119
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:59,000
I'm going to hell. Anyway, yeah, he does great work. I'm not going to lie. He really handles my wood well.

120
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:14,000
I'm sorry, Ace. I had to. Yeah, check out Ace's shop. It's actually fucking sick. I love it. You better buy something too.

121
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaking of buying things, we're still partnered with MagicMind. Be sure to use my promo code.

122
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:34,000

123
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Honestly, I recommend the subscription, but whenever it floats your boat, I'd say get the one-time purchase just to give them a shot.

124
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Then make your mind up after that. If you're like me, you're going to spend your money on these things. It's so good. I love it.

125
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Seriously though, every time you buy stuff from MagicMind using the promo code, you actually help out the podcast way more than you think.

126
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:03,000
I've been looking into the contract recently. I've been talking to some people about it. It's going to benefit us greatly.

127
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:15,000
The podcast is going to skyrocket after that. As always, it's going to be in the link tree in the description as well as my brother's new company's Facebook page.

128
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:23,000
If you guys got a Facebook, log in and go check them out. It really does help when you look at his page and you click on the link tree.

129
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000
You do anything, interact with the podcast in any way, and it does help us out greatly.

130
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Jumping off topic, which there is no topic in this episode, I found this drink and I thought it was the funniest shit I've ever seen.

131
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Mainly because I'm always buying energy drinks. I did not realize that there was the opposite. Did you guys know there's the opposite of an energy drink?

132
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000
It makes you drowsy. It makes you sleepy. And I found it right here.

133
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Somsleep. Drink for ZZZs. The original Somsleep formula. I don't know what this drink is. I've never tried it, but I'm kind of scared to because the other day, in fact this morning, I fell asleep at 1am.

134
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:10,000
I woke up at 1pm. A 12 hour nap. This is before I even drank the damn thing, so I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm a little scared to put my lips on a thing.

135
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Having said that, I did buy the box, so an experiment is required. I'm going to come back later to that. Maybe next week.

136
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,000
But right now, I bought four of them. I bought a box of four of them. And I'm still scared to try it.

137
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:31,000
I'm scared, man. I mean, I already get enough sleep as it is, and this morning I slept for so long my head hurt. In fact, it still kind of does.

138
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:40,000
This is completely random, but as I was talking about that, I got a text in my inbox. Thank you, James. Why is my old boss getting sued?

139
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:49,000
I don't know what's going on there, but look, this week has been all turmoil, okay? I've just been laying here, nothing's happening. Very relaxing. And then randomly stuff happens.

140
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:58,000
It just keeps doing that. I don't know why. Earlier I set a spider on fire. Don't get me twisted. I don't know why I did that.

141
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Okay, actually I do know. I lit a candle and it fucking fell on it. It was actually the coolest shit ever.

142
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:10,000
It kind of scared me, but it is what it is. I said I wouldn't burp on the podcast and I keep doing that.

143
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:16,000
My apologies. I'm trying to be more polite. I'll at least get away from the mic when I do it.

144
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Um, wow. Okay, there's a thing I want to bring up, right? And I want you guys to know. I want you guys to know right now.

145
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:32,000
There is this video where Mark Rober talks about getting rid of bed bugs with diatomaceous earth.

146
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:41,000
I had never heard of diatomaceous earth, so naturally I went out and I bought two bags. Um, eight pounds in total is what I have. Quite a lot.

147
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:49,000
This stuff, you have to use a very small amount. Unfortunately, I did not read the directions and I covered my house with it.

148
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:57,000
There's white powder everywhere and for the first night I didn't have any bug bites or anything. There was no bug bites to begin with, right?

149
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:03,000
I'm just experimenting on my house to see what would happen. My hopes were that I would kill some mosquitoes with it.

150
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:12,000
It did work a little too well. My house is now a grave site for every insect to ever exist. I don't know why I brought that up.

151
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:21,000
It's just the fact that this stuff is not healthy for you. It's like spraying... it's like spraying... what's the thing?

152
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:28,000
You know those little packets that when you get a new product that says, do not eat? It's like spraying your house in that.

153
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,000
So it's not good for you. But it's not going to kill you, you know what I mean?

154
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Silica gel. I meant silica gel. For some reason that wasn't coming to mind.

155
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Think of silica gel but it's been ground fine enough to the point where it's a very, very, very fine powder.

156
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:50,000
I'm talking like powdered sugar powder, okay? But the applicator that I used was very confusing.

157
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Like you could put it upside down and it would still work. Little did I know you're supposed to put it upside down.

158
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,000
And the reason that that's so important is because the only way it works is if it's a fine mist.

159
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,000
If you have big clumps of it, it doesn't work. As he said in the video.

160
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Mark Rober, I tried it myself. I wish you had, you know, I bought the exact one that you used in the damn video to kill all those bed bugs.

161
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:20,000
I wish you had told me that it's very important to put a fine mist. But like the big chunks that he put were very big.

162
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,000
At least as a description, you know, as a display saying, don't do this.

163
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Well, I did this, you know what I mean? I did it inside and out of the house to see what would happen.

164
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:35,000
And now I, I, here's the thing I didn't realize. He used it to kill bed bugs. I did not.

165
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,000
I don't have bed bugs. Luckily, I don't have any. I don't have many bugs to begin with.

166
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:46,000
I do have spiders, which is strange to me because I thought I would have more cockroaches and stuff.

167
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,000
I do have that too. They're just not as abundant. The thing is where I live, I don't keep food in the house.

168
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,000
So it's, it's a very, it's a big plus when they have nothing to eat.

169
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000
They don't have a reason to stick around and there's not much water here either. You know what I mean?

170
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000
I mean, I'm in California, so of course there's no water.

171
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Having said that, I put the fine powder everywhere, including places where I never go to just in case.

172
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
And I woke up to a graveyard of dead spiders.

173
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:21,000
I didn't know it worked for spiders, but apparently reading the back closely, it straight up says any insect that crawls.

174
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,000
The problem is I didn't buy it for crawling insects. I bought it for mosquitoes.

175
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000
My dumbass didn't realize it wouldn't work for mosquitoes unless they landed and rubbed around on the stuff,

176
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000
which obviously they're not going to do because they're fucking mosquitoes.

177
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:39,000
So if you're buying diatomaceous earth for mosquitoes, it is not going to work.

178
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:45,000
One thing that first interested me about the diatomaceous earth is Mark Rober went into detail explaining that

179
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:52,000
diatomaceous earth, once it comes into contact with the shell or the chrysalis, catalyst, whatever you want to call it,

180
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:57,000
the outer shell of an insect, you know, because they got their bones outside,

181
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000
it will slowly draw out the moisture from the inside of the creature or the bug.

182
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Why did I call it a creature? I don't know.

183
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:10,000
But what it'll do is it'll zap out all of its moisture from the inside, from the outside. It'll pull it out basically.

184
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:15,000
And that I found very interesting because I thought, would it the same apply with salt?

185
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Well, no, surprisingly not.

186
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
The reason being is, well, it might. It actually might.

187
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,000
There are things that are stronger at getting out moisture from meat than salt,

188
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,000
to the point where it's harmful to, you know, it's harmful, period.

189
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Diatomaceous earth is on par with this other thing that I read about some years ago,

190
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:48,000
where you mix borax and sugar, you know, fine powdered sugar and fine powdered borax,

191
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:54,000
mix the two together and you leave it out and bugs will try to eat it, but they will die or they'll just walk over it.

192
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Either way, it works with a similar, a similar physical reaction to the insect's outer shell.

193
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,000
I just thought that was interesting that it's now just available to buy,

194
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,000
but apparently it's always been available to buy, but no one knew about it.

195
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Why just now are we learning about this? I don't know. At least we learned about it. You know what I mean?

196
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,000
That takes care of bugs that crawl in the ground.

197
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,000
How do you get rid of bugs that are flying around in the air? I don't know.

198
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
But I know my brother does and, you know, he's for hire, so.

199
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Hell, I might hit him up myself. I don't know anymore.

200
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000
If you guys are wondering why there's so many mosquitoes,

201
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:42,000
I live close enough to the brand new Tulare River that it's fucking annoying.

202
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Straight up. Like, not only is it the summer of, you know, bugs,

203
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:53,000
they now have a massive mile, several hundred mile long body of water to spawn in.

204
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Of course they're going to come out in the trillions at this point. I don't know.

205
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,000
I couldn't count how many bugs there were around me when I was working by the Tulare Lake.

206
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000
All I could say is at some point I opened the door to a porta potty

207
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,000
and there was more bugs in there than there were turds in the toilet.

208
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Just a shit ton. Absolutely. Literally in this case.

209
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000
But yeah, it's getting, it's a pain in the ass.

210
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,000
As I'm recording, there's fucking mosquitoes all over me. I just killed one of them.

211
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,000
I just farted out of anger. Or it might be my new diet because I just figured out that

212
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
this part hurts. This next part hurts. Okay?

213
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Because I was doing so well on my diet, my exercise.

214
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,000
I have no idea what happened, but I am now 20 pounds heavier.

215
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Great. Awesome. Sweet.

216
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,000
I really fluctuate with my weight, don't I? I know what it is.

217
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000
I have a feeling I know what it is. I don't do enough cardio.

218
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000
I stopped doing cardio and I lifted weights.

219
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000
So I don't know if it's all fat or muscle.

220
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,000
I'm going to go with it's fat because I know people usually cope and say,

221
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,000
well muscle weighs more than fat. Not in my case. Alright?

222
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Jesus, I'm just big. Let's just put it that way.

223
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
I'm going to start running more. A lot more.

224
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
You guys better like comment stuff, you know?

225
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Like there was that guy who commented, like,

226
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000
texted his friend every morning, fat fuck, until he lost a bunch of weight.

227
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000
So yeah, message me that. I'm totally fine with it at this point.

228
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000
You know what? Because I am. I'm getting too big.

229
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Every time I take a selfie, I can see a second chin and I'm getting tired of it.

230
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Real tired of it. I'm so tired of it.

231
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,000
I don't know what the fuck that noise was.

232
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Anyway, this week has been interesting.

233
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000
I don't know how to say it. I haven't worked all week and I don't like doing that.

234
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
I have a lot of free time. So I've been going to the gym as well.

235
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
A lot of arm stuff. A lot of my muscles are getting back.

236
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Thanks to my girlfriend. I have a shit ton of protein shakes. Thank you, babe.

237
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,000
And I'm going to start a new diet as of today, which is the first of the month.

238
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Okay. What is that diet?

239
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,000
It's the one that used to work for me before when I casually lost 35 pounds.

240
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Didn't even realize.

241
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000
I lost 35 pounds. Didn't realize I've now gained it all back.

242
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,000
And I'm going to lose it again because it's not hard to lose weight.

243
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
It's hard to stay consistent. Okay.

244
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,000
For me, what was the hardest was losing 25 pounds after I came back from OTR

245
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,000
and then losing 10 more. And I was finally at a healthy BMI.

246
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
I'm nowhere near a healthy BMI.

247
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:19,000
However, I didn't know that for the longest time because I had a scale that was incorrect.

248
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:25,000
The problem being is, again, that scale that I had was marking off like 20 pounds.

249
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,000
So I'm really far off.

250
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
This is a new fitness journey, I guess.

251
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,000
And I'll let you guys know how that goes.

252
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
I guess for me, this week is the week of experimentation.

253
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:41,000
You see, my cardio stopped. So I've restarted this diet where I got to go one mile a day.

254
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Today is day one. I have already failed.

255
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Because I started it at 10 o'clock at night.

256
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,000
In fact, this recording is going to come out and then immediately be uploaded.

257
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
I'm actually hurrying to finish because my girlfriend's on her way.

258
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
We're going to go get some food.

259
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,000
And I am so bad at dieting.

260
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Oh, man. I don't care. I love spending time with her.

261
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,000
I don't even care. I'm going to gain all the weight.

262
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000
She'll still love me. That's the important thing.

263
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,000
I still have this prop that I have for this video I was going to make.

264
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Not going to happen, unfortunately, because I'm way past the mark.

265
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
I was going to make it for my 26th birthday. That was months ago.

266
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000
I'm not going to do that. I'll save it for when I'm 27.

267
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Which... Make this... Let this be a lesson to you.

268
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Plan ahead because you will be surprised how fast things just zoom past you.

269
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Especially when you're working a lot.

270
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Even when you're not working, it's just...

271
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Everything can't be done in one day. You know what I mean?

272
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Luckily for me, I recorded the video of us in Morrill Bay in two days.

273
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
And edited it in two days.

274
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
So it's going to... It's up. It's going to be up in a...

275
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
My God, that was awful.

276
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000
In a few hours.

277
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
A few hours from you hearing this.

278
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000
In fact, it should be up by the time you hear it.

279
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,000
If not, you're probably really invested in the podcast.

280
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Which, thank you, by the way.

281
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Also, our viewership has gone up significantly.

282
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,000
12,000 downloads and rising.

283
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,000
It's almost at 12,500 now.

284
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Wow. Thank you guys so much.

285
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000
And we still have the email open.

286
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
I've been checking the spam just in case.

287
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
I did notice some spam emails.

288
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Or the filter for the spam.

289
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,000
It did get some of your guys' emails.

290
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,000
And I apologize for that.

291
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
I'm going to respond as soon as I can.

292
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
But keep sending in those emails.

293
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000
I'm still doing episode requests.

294
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,000
I did Nick's.

295
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,000
And I did somebody else's for Uncontact the Tribes.

296
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
I need your guys' help too.

297
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Okay?

298
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,000
On DMs, on Instagram, on Twitter, over email.

299
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Everything counts.

300
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Send in your request.

301
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
What episodes do you want to hear?

302
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Because I'm an open book.

303
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
I'll do an episode about anything.

304
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
As long as it doesn't break the sacred rules.

305
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Which, a lot of you have been getting close to there.

306
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Like, some of you asking, what's my political side?

307
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,000
I'm neutral, okay?

308
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000
I'm enlightened centrist.

309
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,000
That's what I am.

310
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000
I don't like talking about either left or right.

311
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Okay?

312
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Because I just don't agree with the current political climate.

313
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Nor do I like talking about it.

314
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,000
That being said, you know, it is fair for you guys to know about that.

315
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
I don't care too much for left or right.

316
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
I like to be my own guy.

317
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000
You know?

318
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,000
I like to live off the grid.

319
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Which is really hard to do when you're in a podcast.

320
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Also, recently, there have been two stickers.

321
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,000
There have been stickers from our Morro Bay trip.

322
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,000
That I was happy to put in certain places.

323
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000
One of them is in the tagging wagon.

324
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,000
If you guys don't know what that is, it's an amazing, it's an amazing dude.

325
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Honestly, let me pull up his Instagram right now, actually.

326
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
The tagging wagon is what he was working out of.

327
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,000
But the name of the business is Off The Wall Custom Creations.

328
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Look him up on Instagram.

329
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Honestly, I spoke to the guy.

330
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Great, dude.

331
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,000
He is way more knowledgeable about spray painting than I am.

332
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Here's the truth.

333
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
I bought the worst kinds of spray paint.

334
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
I bought stuff to spray paint a house with.

335
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Or any furniture.

336
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:10,000
And this gentleman here actually told me what kind to use.

337
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,000
You know what I mean?

338
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Because I didn't know.

339
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
I even straight up said, what kind have I used?

340
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,000
The wrong kind.

341
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000
It's plain and simple as that.

342
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,000
But Off The Wall Custom Creations got two meatweed stickers.

343
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,000
On the inside of the tagging wagon.

344
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,000
If you guys are ever near the tagging wagon, by all means, take a picture of it.

345
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Send it to me.

346
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,000
I absolutely love just being hidden in certain places.

347
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
I'm just like, here I am and here I am.

348
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,000
I love his van.

349
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
If you guys ever see it in Morro Bay, buy stuff from him.

350
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Support him.

351
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,000
OK?

352
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,000
I absolutely love the guy.

353
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,000
He's a great dude.

354
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Havoc said that.

355
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,000
I am very tired because I'm not going to lie.

356
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,000
I have these drinks here.

357
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Some sleep.

358
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,000
I haven't even been able to open the can.

359
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Here, listen.

360
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Listen closely.

361
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
I have the cans in my hand.

362
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,000
I have four of them.

363
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
I've never used this stuff.

364
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
I didn't even know it was on the market.

365
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,000
I will let you know if I survive.

366
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,000
If and when.

367
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Next week, we'll give a thorough, thorough discussion about it.

368
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,000
And on top of that, I'm going to do a lot of stuff, OK?

369
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000
You send in your suggestions.

370
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
I'll read and do whatever.

371
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:23,000
But I'm also going to do the some sleep challenge, which I'm quoting right now because it's an opposite.

372
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,000
It's an anti-energy drink.

373
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
And as you guys can clearly hear, I need to relax.

374
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Having said that, again, that's going to do it for this episode of the Meatweed Podcast.

375
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Please pray for me.

376
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:38,000
There is a giant 10,000 year old ancient lake forming just outside of my house.

377
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,000
I hope it slows down because if it doesn't, I will be submerged in water and drown.

378
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,000
I should not say that so positively.

379
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
All right.

380
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Seriously, though, next week, you guys send in your requests.

381
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
I mean anything, OK?

382
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000
There are some of you who are going to say some horrible things.

383
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,000
There are some of you who are going to say some bad shit lunatic things, OK?

384
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,000
And I hope so.

385
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
The weirder, the better.

386
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,000
And I'm going to see what goes on, OK?

387
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
I can hear birds crawling in my ceiling.

388
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
It is 10 p.m.

389
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
What's going on here?

390
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Yeah, that's going to distract me.

391
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,000
But yeah, it's not as distracting as the amount of mosquitoes in the fucking room.

392
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Come on, man.

393
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Yeah, all these mosquitoes are starting to it's starting to drive me stir crazy.

394
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:35,000
OK, it's not fun to have mosquitoes all over your goddamn skin when you're trying to when you're trying to record a podcast and edit videos and do all kinds of shit.

395
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,000
OK, it's not easy.

396
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,000
It's not fun.

397
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,000
I'll see you guys next week.

398
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,000
I need to relax because I'm I'm actually sweating.

399
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Wow. I'm actually my AC is on.

400
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Why am I sweating?

401
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,000
You know what it is?

402
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,000
It's it's me sweating at all of these mosquitoes.

403
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,000
I got it.

404
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,000
No. OK, now I got it.

405
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,000
OK, OK, OK.

406
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Got one. All right.

407
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Sorry about that weirdness at the end.

408
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:20,000
See you guys next week.
