146 Ramble On · bit of a Rambler

  Speaker 1: Hello.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: My name is Kai, and I am a bit of
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: a rambler. I like to travel, learn and tell stories.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: And today we're.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Gonna ramble on. Well, I'm gonna ramble on, and I
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: invite you into my world to listen.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I don't have to.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Invite you, you can just click on it. In fact,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: you have hammock. I was talking about hammocks last time
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: because I was very excited to get back into hammock camping.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I got my hammock from the interesting camping store owner.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Oh and after testing it out and realizing that I
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: like hammock straps more than ropes and that the hammock
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: is heavy enough to carry me in my rucksack, so
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I'm all set hammock wise, I just need to get
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: a mosquito neet rain gear and then I have to
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: make it travel y.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: The last episode, I mentioned that I came up with
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: a pretty good idea because this thing has an attached
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: stuff sack, which is like a cylinder that you can
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: smush the hammock into, and then it's very contained because
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: any light fabric will sort of expand and fluff out.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: But that's what stuff sacks are for your jacket, your
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: puffer jacket or a hammock or anything, or clothes. You
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: can smush them down as small as possible into a
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: stuff sack and then close them up and they'll fit
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: better into your suitcase. The thing is, airlines are just
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: reducing and reducing and reducing the amount of weight you're
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: allowed to take on an aircraft, to the point that
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: these days twenty twenty six, there are very few airlines
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: in the US, at least or flying to the US,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: that allow you to take a carry on bag of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: any size on. You are still allowed a personal item,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: so that's enough for me. A personal item.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Is it's very tiny.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: It's like twenty by forty centimeters rectangle ten centimeters wide.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: It's a small thing. But because of my packet jacket
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: it works. I can fit my audio equipment, my laptop,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and all of my clothes into just my packet jacket.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: My jacket with a bunch of pockets that I have
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: made and patented. Hey, which brings me to the second patent.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I loved this hammock, but I haven't had a hammock
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: setup for so long, partly because I was doing aud
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: a work, but partly because I would have to fit
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: my whole hammock camping setup into my bag. And when
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I first had it, it didn't take up a lot
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: of room my hammock camping setup, but I also wasn't
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: carrying around all of this camping or sorry, all of
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: this audio equipment. So now that I had the audio equipment,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I just figured I couldn't. I couldn't filt like a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: fit a hole camping a hole sleeping setup into my
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: bag because I need a hammock, I need a bugnet,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I need a rain tarp, and you know the ropes
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: for the hammock, or the straps in this case. So
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I need a few things, and that does sound like
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: it will take up a lot of space. The rain
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: tarp especially took up the most space and was the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: least flexible of those items. But the thing is, I
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: came up with a great idea.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Let's get to it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: So this great idea could also incorporate my bugnet, and
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have to add any weight or volume very
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: importantly to my rucksack when I traveled, So I could
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: still have an empty rucksack that I could take on
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: as a personal item, but I would be able to
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: carry at least a basic sleeping setup of hammock and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: bugnet with me. How you may ask, Well, I have
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to get the bugnet first, which again turned out to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: be much more of an ordeal, and then not an
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: ordeal at all, and I'm set for life with those.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I just had to broaden my mind and think in
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a different way, which.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Is always the solution to these things.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Every time I need to make something new or fix
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a problem, I just have to look at it in
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: a different way, and then there's usually a very easy
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: way to solve my problem. With the hammock, obviously that
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: wasn't the case. I just said a brute force go
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to every camping store and find the one in ulan Batar.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: That was good, But with most problems, I just have
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to step outside of my own perspective. So I went
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: back to that black market, and as I mentioned last episode,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I was like, they've got to have mosquito nets. Turns
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: out I was wrong. They don't have mosquitoes in Mongolia.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So I asked.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I did ask a few of the camping I was like,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: do you not have mosquito nets because there's no bugs?
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: They were like, yeah, pretty much, we just don't have
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: buz So we don't really need bugnuts, and that makes sense,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: so you can't fault them for it. And I really
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: was just like, well, when I get to Judgu, South Korea,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: that's an island, like a somewhat tropical island, maybe subtropical
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: will call it, and I'll be able to find a
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: mosquito net there because they will have mosquitos like everywhere
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: else in Asia and the entire world except for Mongolia.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And I just yeah, I was like, whatever, that's fine.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: But when I have when I decide to do something
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: like find a bugnet in Mongolia, my brain will always
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: keep working on whatever it is in the background. Or
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: if someone asks me a question and I don't have
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the answer right away, I'm just like okay, brain, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: brain will just work on it and then when it
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: has an answer, it'll ping me. Basically, it'll be like hey,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I got that, and then I'll have that answer. It
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: might be days later or whatever, but I know brain
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: works on things if there's not like, if there's not
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a definite, it's impossible, or I decide it's impossible to do.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Can I jump and touch the moon? I can't, so
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: my brain's not gonna work on that. But if it's feasible,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: then my brain will work on it, especially if it
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: knows there's like there's something that I'm probably just not considering.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I just kind of have it on a back burner bubbling,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and at this point I'm just like, okay, brain, take
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: that one. So with the mosquito net, I was like,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: it's fine, I can wait a week. I'm gonna get
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to judge you and then I know they're everywhere, so
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I'll be able to find one easily. But Brain, you
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: can work on if you think of something. And then
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the next day Brain pinged me and it was like
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: fabric store and I was like, oh yeah, I went.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I went to oh Man like thirty different fabric stores
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: and they kept telling me this place has mosquito nets.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: This place has mosquito nets. Two of them had mosquito nets,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and they were drapes over the front of a kid's
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: toy castle that was like a thing so the kid
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: could like play inside this tiny inflatable castle, and then
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: there was like a mosquito net drapery in front of it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: But it was by no means enough mosquito netting to
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: cover my hammock. So what I do usually is get
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: a one dollar mosquito net made for a bed, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: then I cut that into a large rectangle, so the
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: rectangle lengthwise together, and then add draw strings on both sides,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: so it's basically just a casing a bugnet casing I
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: can slide right over the hammock. And I thought I
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: permanently attached this the first time I made it, but
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: apparently I didn't because I had a separate stuff sack
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: for my bugnet, which was inefficient, but it worked so
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: well already. It still only took a couple of minutes
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: to break down that I never thought of integrating the two,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: which is funny until now I have done that. Okay,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: so yeah, I can't get the bugnet. I'm used to
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: a canopy bed bugnet. So Brain was like fabric stores
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: you just visited a bunch. What if one of those
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: fabric stores has mesh netting, like a bridal veil mesh netting,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: for instance, that you could use as bugnet. You could
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: just get a couple of bridle veils or a few
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: of those and sew them together and make your tube
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: of bugnet for your hammock. And I was like, Brain,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: that is a good idea. So I looked around. There
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: was a fabric store maybe a ten minute walk from
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: my house. I went out there, walked on the fabric store,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: and I.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Was like, Yep, this was the solution.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I was too focused on markets and a finished product
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: because I was so used to the finished product and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: it's so easy, so I didn't think of but what
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: is this material? And the material is simply a fabric,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: a mesh fabric with tiny holes too small for most
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: bugs to get through. So now that's all I need
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: to do. I don't ever, I don't have to go
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: to a market again and look for a ready made bugnet,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: which most countries will have. So maybe I'll do that.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: But now if there's a fabric store closer, I can
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: just go there. So walk into the fabric store and
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I asked them if they have mesh netting, and I
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: show them a mosquito net and she says, oh yeah,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: and she immediately takes me to a wall with eight
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: different rollers on it and there's like a meter into
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: each one is a meter and a half ride, and
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: you just take off as much as you want, and
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: a meter and a half is about as much as
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I need. But I haven't made one or used a
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: bugnet in a year or two, whatever it was, so
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I bought more than I needed. But I was looking
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: at this material and it was not stretchy at all,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: which is the only the only problem, because I didn't
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: want to rip it when the when I was in
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: the hammock and like pushing against it. If it's a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: rigid tube with no give at all, then if it's
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: too small, I could rip through. It's very thin, mich
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: it's a mesh, right, So I looked around and then
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I just asked her translated Mongolian in the app, do
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: you have this same mesh but elastic? She was like,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, and she took me over and there's another
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: eight and another part of the store and it's a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: bunch of different colors, but they're slightly, very slightly elastic,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: maybe fifty percent, Like when you stretch it, it'll stretch
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: fifty percent extra.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Which is exactly what I want.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I don't want super stretchy, because if it stretches too much,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the holes will get too big, the mosquitoes can get through.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: But I do want slightly stretchy so that the holes
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: are tiny enough to block bugs.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: But I don't have.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: To worry about yeah, about it ripping with any amount
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: of stretching at all.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Then more good news.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Turns out I wanted the blue one, and the blue
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: one specifically was half off. Now it was already one
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: dollar for each square meter of this stuff, very cheap,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: and that's one point five by one meter, but this
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: but it's but then it was half price. So I
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: ended up getting the thing. I don't even know whatever
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: a two dollars something like that. So it was it
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: was cheaper because I know, I said one dollar, and
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: you can get one dollar bugnts, but I think I
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: usually would pay two and three bucks. So I was
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: paying the same amount just getting the fabric straight from
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: straight from this store. And I was And it was
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: a stronger fabric, that's the two. That's the thing. Because
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: it was actual fabric made for clothing rather than the
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: mass produced bugnets from Thailand. It's a much higher quality fabric,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Like it definitely feels stronger in general, and it doesn't
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: feel like if I snag it on something it'll immediately
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: like bust open. But if it does, it's a bugnet,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: you can just sew it shut like I always do.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: So that's fine. But I yeah, so it worked fine.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I got three by one point five meters of bugnetting
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: of this fabric mesh, and I'm very happy I did that, because, yeah,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: every country in the world, even if they don't have
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: bugnets in the kind that I like, I would have
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: to make it into a hammock bugnet anyway. So I
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: can just go to a fabric store now anywhere and
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: get slightly elastic mash or even regular mash, because it's
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: going to be like a dollar again. So I thought
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: that was really funny that I also got half off.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: When I was like, hey, do you have this? It
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: would be better if it was elastic, they were like, yeah,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: we have the better one, and it's cheaper for you
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: because it's the not all of the colors were half
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: off also. It was like three of the colors, but
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: the blue one that I decide I want. There was
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: a blue and a green one. The blue and green
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: one were both on sale, but I went for the
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: blue one, which is the same blue as my hammock,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: and boom, so.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: A couple bucks. I took that home.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I immediately sewed it up and I fit it to my
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: big hammock, my big new hammock, and it took me,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know, an hour because I was being pretty
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: careful and sewing it well. And but yeah, then I
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: have a hammock and bugnet sat now. So I was
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: pretty excited about that. But what I was more excited
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: about is my again patent pending travel hammock. Okay, folks,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: this is such a good idea and it's nowhere, so
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I have a patent on it.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Now, that's cool.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: I've come up with so many things while traveling, and
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I've always thought about patenting them and producing them, but
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I never have and I have to start doing it
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: because these ideas are too good. So I finally applied
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: for a couple of patents and this one, this idea,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: was the straw that broke the camel's back of incredulity
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: where I was like, you, you don't need to, I
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: just should because this is such a good idea, folks.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I have a travel pillow that I love from Diso.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: It's filled with those crappy microplastic beads. I don't like
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: those anyway, but the fabric of the pillows really nice
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: and it has a hood on it, so I like that.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: But guess what, I know how to use a zipper.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I know how to sew, so I cut open the
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: hammock and I took out all those little crappy microplastic beads,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: put them in trash can, cleaned it completely out. No
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: more beads, I added. I sewed in a zipper to
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: like one third of the back of the travel pillow,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: and now I have a stuff sack for my hammock.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: And the hammock is soft and like lightweight and you know, flexible, compressible,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: So it just looks like a regular travel pillow, but
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: inside is a hammock and bugnet and I actually think
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I can fit my new raintarp in there. Two But anyway,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: that's amazing, and nobody was selling it yet, so I
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: patented the idea.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: But how good of an.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Idea is that you're traveling travel pillow. Take the travel
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: pillow with you. There's no extra weight to your rucksack,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: there's no extra volume to your suitcase, whatever you have,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: but you have a sleeping setup around your neck. What
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: if you like hammock camping and you're a light camper,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: you travel at all, I'm sure you see how what
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a great idea this is. You unzip your travel pill
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: and you can pull out your entire hammock and then
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: you just put it right back in when you're done.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Holy cow.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: When I thought of this, I couldn't think of anything
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: else for like two days. But I didn't want to
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: open up and like, what if it doesn't work, my
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: travel pillow won't work anymore. But then I was like, what,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: this is such a good idea. If this works like
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: how it should work. This is a pretty basic utility.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: You've solved so many problems. You can carry a sleeping
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: setup without adding weight or volume to your luggage. Obviously,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the package jacket is in the same vein solves the
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: problem of having to pay for airline fees for baggage ever,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: and now now I can do that plus with a
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: sleeping setup. Ah, and I love hammock camping. It's more
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: comfortable to me sleep in a havoc than a bed.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I was very excited about this, So, although I was
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: worried about screwing up my travel pillow, I took the
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: plunge and just did it. I cut a six inch
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: whole slit into the back of the travel pillow. I
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: found this old lady selling zippers on the side of
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: the road and I got it and I put it in.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And it works. It works great.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: The only thing left is to permanently attach the travel
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: pillow to the hammock so I don't have to put
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the But the thing is that I can just clasp
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: the travel pillow around my neck like a tiny shoulder cape,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: so I don't even know. I'll probably attach it permanently
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: though I I gotta do is sew it into the lining.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: But I have used it already and it's so great.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I've been through airports with this travel.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Pillow and.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Nobody even notices it because it's a travel pillow on
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: an airport, of course, but that's a whole sleeping setup
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: resting around my neck with the with and it's lighter
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: than most travel pillows because it's an ultra light hammock
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: with a bugnet, which is just mash mostly air.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: So I thought about this for a long time and
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: then I finally just made it and it worked exactly
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: how I wanted it to. And now I've been through
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: several airports with it. I cannot recommend it enough. Well,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: you can't buy it anywhere, but I don't know, man,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I have to go to I just patented it, so
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I have to start shopping it around to sports stores
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: sports equipment stores, because how good. I still think that's
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: a great idea and I'm very happy it works. Travel
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: pillow hammock a hammock pillow, of course, of course, of course,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Also this this thing is I've been hammock camping for
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: over a decade and I just thought of it, and
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I've been carrying it in my bag for so long,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: and I just realized that I didn't have to. So
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: it really it blew my mind where I was like,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: this is a huge amount of weight in your relatively
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: ultra light setup that you don't have to worry about
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: taking on planes anymore. Wowser's bo bowsers. So there we go,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: between packet jacket and the hammock travel pillow. Well, I
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: hope I can get a good name for that hammock.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: I'll have to think of a good name like packet
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: jacket that just wrote itself. But I'm so happy with
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: these two developments that just happened. Both of them, like
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: in the last year or so, works so well. Okay,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: so now I have a sleeping setup I can take
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: everywhere with me. That was my main problem that I
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: didn't want to use up a bunch of volume and
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: weight in my bag. But I don't have to anymore.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Oh my bone conduction headphones that I love finally died.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Oh wait, that was in Korea. Okay, so let's leave Mongolia. Okay,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: so I make my hammock travel pillow. I have my
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: hammock itself, complete sleeping setup.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Good to go.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Oh. While as in Mongolia, walking to that guy's camping store,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: by the way, I came across a basketball like stunt
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: exposition and there was an opera singer singing like in
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Mongolian opening up the show, and that was really cool.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: And then I saw some people doing like little basketball tricks,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: just a cool thing that was randomly in a park
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: while I was walking in Ulan Batar Oh. And then
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: in the really big park where I tested my hammock,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: there were a couple of bums drunkenly talking to each other,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: and then one of them just puked right in front
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: of the other one. And he must have already puked
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: a couple times, because there was a lot of vomit
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: near his feet and it was gross. But it was
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: just kind of surprising because I don't I've seen people
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: puke when they were like crazy drunk before, and that's
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: definitely that. I'm pretty sure that's what the problem was
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: with this guy. But this was broad daylight, rather than
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: after barbecue in China when we're all way too drunk
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: to even think. He was just thrown up in a
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: park a lot, all over his shoes, and his buddy
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: was patting his back, and they were both unhoused. It
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: looked like, which was pretty common in the city. If
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I haven't mentioned that before, there were a lot of
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: homeless people in Ulambatar, like not I guess, I mean,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: if you're in the city. Yeah, if you're in the city.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Not as much as the US for sure, but still
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: a lot. And this guy was puking at one pm
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: or whatever it was three pm, who knows. Okay, I'm
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: just trying to finish up mongolia because I think I
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: have some more stuff before I get to jed.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: You why do I have that much to hang on? Dang?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Actually, you know it, I have a bunch more mongolia stuff.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize that. When I was walking back with
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: my new hammock before I made my travel pillow hammock,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: there was a kid who wanted to cross the street
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: on his bicycle, and I like kind of acted as
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: a buffer so the the cars would stop because I
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: was afraid he'd get hit, because the traffic's kind of
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: crazy in that city. And that felt good just acting
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: as a buffer for this kid so we could safely
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: go across the crosswalk with his bicycle. Okay, it was
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: really interesting. Right after I had that kid, I was like, wait,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: what am I walking toward?
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Because I was.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Crossing the street and there was a pad. This must
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: be a normal thing, and I just don't know about it.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: It was like a bounce pad, but.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: It was it was like, I don't know, fifteen meters across,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: like a good fifty feet across in a circle. It
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: was a domed, rubber, rigid rubber circle, and kids were
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: just jumping on it like a trampoline, like fifty tons
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: of kids. There were dozens of kids on this fifty
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: foot round diameter dome of rubber. It looked like a
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: bounce pad from a Super Mario game or something. It
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: was very bizarre and there were just a bunch of
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: kids playing on it and they were falling down and
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: bouncing and rolling off it, and it was weird, but
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: it was right there, so that must be I don't know,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: is that a thing? Does anybody know if that's If
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: you know, if that's a thing, let me know. I
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: don't think I've seen that kind of bounce pad before.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: It was very.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Strange to come across in the middle of a city.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I think it was near a school or something, so
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: it was like, I guess that's part of their playground. Oh,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: and I went to the National Park also to test
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: out my hammock. Like fully, now that I had the
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: bugnet and I could pack it in the travel pillow,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: and I took it down there and set it up
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: and it worked perfectly, which was really exciting. I had
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the draw string on both sides, so I pulled that
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: the bugnet tube like over the hammock after I'm in
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the hammock, and then since shut the draw string, and boom,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I have a bug tight hammock. And I fell asleep
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: for a bit. And then when I walked home, my
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: roommate was like, hey, where'd you go? Because she's from Mongolia,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: the host of this serbianb and I told her I
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: went to that National Park to the south and she said, oh,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: the east. I was like, oh, I think it's to
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: the south. She was like, it's down this road right.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I was like yeah. She's like no, no, that's definitely east.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: And I didn't just say yeah, which I guess maybe
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I could have, but it's it's a huge park and
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: it's directly south of where we lived. So I just
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: showed her the map and she was like, hmmm, east,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: and I guess she just didn't know what east was
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: because this it did extend to the east and west
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: after you went south, but to get to the park
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: you just go straight south.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: So after I showed her the picture.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Of it directly south from her apartment and she said
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: east again, I was like, yes, east, and then just
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: let it go because who cares. So I'm very happy.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I have my mosquitoet and my hammock and it's all
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: set up and I'm ready to go. But I still
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: have a few days to wait before I can go
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: to judge you South Korea. So I just walked around
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: the city. I was I think like within those last
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: that last week, that's when I got the hammock and
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I was looking for the mosquitoet and all that stuff.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: But all that was done and.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I found something. I was extremely happy to find kushur. Now,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: kushura is very common in Ulambatar. It's like the de
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: facto Mongolian dumpling, but it didn't sound great to me.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I had one before. It was whatever.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: But then I was walking past a store and there
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: was a guy smoking outside of it, and I don't
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: usually like that, but for some reason, my brain was like, yo,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: that one's good. So I turned around and I walked in.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: The guy smoking the cigarette held the door open for me,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: and then he threw down a cigarette came in after me,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: and I realized he was the proprietor and he was
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: selling kushur and he had a kim chi yak kushur
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: and a yak and cheese kushur, so little like perrobi
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: slash dumpling things. So inside this pastry dough is yeah,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: meat and kim chi or meat and cheese, and I
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: got one of each, and it was the best thing
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I ate in Mongolia, and I was so glad to
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: get it, because there wasn't. I didn't eat a ton
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: of Mongolian cuisine. It just nothing. It didn't stick out
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: to me as super amazing unique something. Nothing was like, oh,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I haven't had something like that before, except for that
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Jack barbecue that rocked, and now this kusheur that rocked.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: It didn't taste like Pirogi's. It was a much softer bread.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: It didn't take like bout taste like boudza. It was
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: much thinner bread. It was the perfect bread. It was delicious,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: and inside there was a bunch of meat and a
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: bunch of kimchi. The cheese one was okay, but I'm
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: not as big on cheese as I am on something
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: like kimchi. So the last five days I went back
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: every day before I left South Korea, every day, and
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: that's what I ate Kushua every day. And this was
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: the only shop I saw the entire time. I was
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: an ulaan batar that had glass Coca Cola bottles also
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: in a little in a little fridge like in the restaurant,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: in this tiny restaurant also, and it's always the quality
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: places that have other quality stuff. Coca Cola tastes much
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: better from a glass bottle than a metal can. To me,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I feel like I taste the metal pretty strong in
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Coca Cola cans versus Coca Cola glass bottles. So every
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: day I went and got two or three kim chi
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: yak kushor from this guy and one little glass Coca
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Cola bottle, and it was a fun snack every day.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: And the third day or the fourth day or something,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I asked if I could drink beer in his shop
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: and he was like, yeah, of course, And I can't
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: remember why, but I picked up a couple cans of
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: beer and I had that with the kushur. But you know,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: it wasn't even as satisfying as the as the little
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Coca Cola bottle that tasted better.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, I drank the beer. I'm not gonna throw
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: it away. But that was great.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: That was a cool little shop, and if I lived,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I would have gone there the whole time I was
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: there if I found out about it sooner. I just
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: didn't realize how good kushur it was, and I hadn't
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: seen any that sounded appetizing to me. But when I
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: went to this guy's shop, I was like, you know what,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: this guy probably has the good stuff, and boy, howdy
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: did he. And the rest of the week I also
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: ate a bunch of Korean fried chicken, which is super
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: funny because I was going to go to Jedju, South
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Korea in like five days. But for some reason, I
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: ate Korean fried chicken at this one restaurant in Mongolia,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, that is good, because they
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: have so many Korean restaurants in Ulambatar. So I just
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: tried all these different restaurants and I found some pretty
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: good Korean fried chicken. Also during this last week, when
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: I was walking home, I came across this blocked off
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: street and it was just huge, and there was a
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: crowd of people walking around, almost like a fair, and
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: there were like little stalls around, and there was a
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: giant bouncy castle on the sidewalk. Yeah, it was just
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: on the sidewalk in a driveway.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: It was huge.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: It was like normal giant bouncy castle sized, and I
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: walked in. The next block had one also, and I
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: didn't know what the heck was going on. I was
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: walking around trying to figure it out, but very very
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: few people speak any English, so I didn't try to
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: ask anybody. Oh and there's no resources to learn Mongolian.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: So I was still I could say a few of
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: the foods and that's pretty much it. So I couldn't
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: speak to anybody. But then I saw this group of
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: people jogging through with numbers on them and realized I
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: had heard about the Ulan Batar half marathon going on
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: sometime in the future a couple weeks back, and here
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: it was. I happened to cross the Ulan Batar marathon route.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: So that's what it was.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: There's a big like half celebration half marathon day going on,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: and that was cool just to walk around, went to
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: a new supermarket, looked at people walking around. The fashionable Mongolians.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: If did I meant, I must have mentioned that already, right,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: they're the most fashionable Asians, the most handsome men pretty Asians.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: They're angular, but they're broad and taller, and they just
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: look cool. They all wear like leather jackets and bespoke
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: clothing and boots. Mongoli, at least in Nulan Batar. I
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: liked their fashion the most I think out of other
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Asian fashions, like Chinese, people just wear pants and a
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: T shirt. The girls will dress in nice sundresses, but
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: the fashion's not crazy. The fashion in Korea obviously is
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: very it's pretty wild, but the boys wear very flowy
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: things like the girls, and they also use a lot
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: of makeup, and yeah, fashion in Korea is just generally
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: very soft and softening and flowy and fun. Mongolia's fashion
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: is Hell's Angels, bespoke Hell's Angels. It's like leather stuff
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: and boots that fit them perfectly. And they, like I said,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: they have more angular cheekbones Mongolians in general than other Asians.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: So I just thought they all looked so cool. So
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: it was fun walking around in this crowd of a
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: bunch of cool, fashionable people, me walking around like a
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: filthy travel hobo. Oh you know, it's crazy. I love
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: tooty fruity jelly belly jelly beans, the twoty fruity flavor.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Specifically.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with jelly beans, They're fine, but I don't
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: really care.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: But the tooty.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Fruity ones, they're good enough that I'll get them if
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: I see just a pack of tooty fruity and I
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: haven't seen just that pack in years. I mean, I've
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: been traveling. There's not a lot of jelly beans in
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: like China, whatever, Japan. But I was in Ulan Batar,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Mongolia going to a supermarket, I think to get nori
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: or something, and i'd been there. It's pretty close, so
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: i'd walk. It's one of the grocery stores I normally
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: walked to, so this was new. And there was a
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: new display of jelly belly jelly bean bags flavor and
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: they had the Tooty Fruity flavor, and I was like,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: that's crazy, and people don't really like it because it
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: tastes like toothpaste, I think, and I like that taste great,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: So I was kind of dumb struck again. I was like,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: how are these in Mongolia? Like the grocery stores in
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Mongolia carry Mongolian and Korean things, and now there's like
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: a jelly belly display case and not just like bags
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: of random jelly beans.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: But like buy flavor.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: They sell each flavor, which is a very boutique thing.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: And here it is in the tundra in Mongolia. It was, yeah,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: bizarre to see. But I got a bag of Tooty
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Fruity and then I got another one a couple days later,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: and I was very happy to have them. And they
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: were delicious. Oh and then I bought it and I
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: was talking to the cute checkout girl and we had
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: like a nice whatever, little conversation, and then I was
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: so happy. I was like talk to a cute girl,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: that's cool. I realized I didn't even get the jelly beans,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: and I hadn't realized it, but she was calling after.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Me, and I was like, yes, my sweet and.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Then she came running up with the jelly beans, which
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: is like the only thing, the only thing I forgot.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: I put everything out of my bag and forgot those,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: and she very kindly ran out the store to give
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: them back to me.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Thanks lady.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Oh what else did I get in there that I
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: didn't forget? I got fermented mare's milk, milk from a mare,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: a female horse that has been fermented, which is a
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: very common drink in Mongolia traditionally and culturally. And now
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: they sell them in cans that you can buy like
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: beer in the store, and there's a little bit of
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: alcohol in there, not a ton. It's kind of I've
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: been describing it as like milk kombucha to people. That's
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: what it reminded me of the most. It's a little
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: it's fermented, it's a little bit bubbly, just a little bit,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: and it's very thin. It's not like you're drinking thick,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: fatty milk. It's very thin milk. That's been fermented. It's
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: very interesting and it doesn't taste bad. Of all the
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: weird stuff I've had in different countries, this was like
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: the oh, this is our traditional drink. It's not good,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: but I would buy Mayre's milk again. I got it
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: the last day I was there, I think, yeah, right before, Yeah,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: it was the last day, so I didn't drink all
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: of it because I was worried. It tastes good and
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: I feel fine, but what if I get sick. I
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: don't want to be sick on a plane to South Korea.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: But I didn't get sick, and it just tasted good
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: and weird like kombucha does, except this one tasted faintly
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: of milk, and it wasn't thick and heavy like the
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: fatty milk like the fat and milk makes milk taste.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: It was very light. It was interesting.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: I would definitely like to drink more, and I'd like
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: to drink it with different foods and see what it
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: pairs with, because I feel like it would pair with
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: something well, and I don't know what it is yet exactly.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Except knowing Mongolia, I'm sure they'd just be like, just
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: eat a bunch.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Of meat with it.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: I love how direct Mongolians are. That was such a
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: fun country. So that was such a fun country because
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: it was so unique and so interesting and deep. There
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: was so much going on, and that was just in
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: the city, which is not even particularly Mongolian in itself.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: It's so taken over by other Asian stores and other cultures.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I had a wonderful time in Mongolia. What else did
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: I get up to after that?
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh, you know what.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: After I got the fermented mare's milk, I also went
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: to the store and I got two things of Mongolian
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: vodka because I hadn't had them yet, or I hadn't
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: had any Mongolian vodka yet.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: But I heard about it.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: It's like all the drunks drink it there and it's
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: very popular. You know, it's right next to Russia. I
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: assume that's has some influence on it. But there were
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: two types, and nobody could explain to me how they
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: were different. So I just got both bottles. One girl
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: was like, no, they're definitely the exact same. Those are
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: both vodka. They're just in different bottles and different colors,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: but they're the same thing.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: They're not.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: They tasted completely different. The blue bottle was good. The
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: gray bottle was almost as bad as by Joe. It
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: definitely was not as bad as by Joe, but it
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: was pretty bad. I think it was like from wheat
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It sucked.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: But the regular Mongolian vodka, yeah, it was tasty vodka
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: for not I mean it was cheap. I guess it
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: was like five bucks for a tiny bottle, maybe three
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: fifty mili liters for that price. I mean, yeah, it
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: was fine. I just drank a sip from each and
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: then left them on the table for my host, my
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Airbnb host, to finish up, because her boyfriend definitely drinks plenty,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: so I figured he at least would appreciate a couple
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: free bottles.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Of and I wouldn't like it.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Just if I'm gonna drink, give me some Seltzers or
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: really good microbrew. And then you know what I did.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: I changed my reservation from one week in Korea I
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: was going to be there for a week, from in
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Juju Island to one day three days, I think three days.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: I think I changed to three days because I knew
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: the first day I'd just be exhausted pass out, and
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: then after that three days. I was like, you can
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: live in a hotel for three days and then backpack
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: for four days. You'll still save money because you're you know,
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: hammick camping is free and you love to be in
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: a hammock and I really was looking forward to that.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: So I canceled it and I was like, there, now
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: you don't have the rest of the week.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: You have to go. You have to go in hammock.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Camp, which can be It is daunting if you haven't
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: done it in a while, especially the first time you
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: ever do it.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: You're like, is this okay? Yes, it's fine.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: But I hadn't done it. And it's so easy and
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: lazy to rent a room somewhere. So I'm used to
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: doing that and I hadn't been hammock. But I did it,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: and I was like, here you go. Now you have
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: to sleep outside, and I knew as soon as I
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: did sleep outside, I was going to love it because
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: I love sleeping in hammocks. But I just had to
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: take the leap and make sure I didn't have a
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: room reserved. Okay, I cleaned up my Airbnb. I'm mentioning
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: this because I don't usually clean it up this nice.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I clean up I think nicer than other guests. I
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: try not to leave any trash in the room. If
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: they have a vacuum, all vacuum the carpet because I
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: eat in my room. I also tend to fix things
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: when I get to Airbnb's. If your shower is clogged
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: and I'm your guest, it's gonna be unclogged by the
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: time I leave. If there's like a loose screw or
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: a table as wobbly, it's gonna be fixed and tight
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: like later after I'm out of there. But this lady,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: oh boy, she was just quite particular about things her.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: The face plates for her light switches were not a
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: hatched to the wall, but if you, if you like,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: twisted them so they dug into the wall, then they
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: would stay in there for a little while anyway, And
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: she was insistent that I twist them into the wall
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: so they would stay there. Look, I liked this apartment
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: and the lady was fine, if a bit particular about
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: certain things. So I and I've never gotten a bad
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: review on Airbnb recently knock on wood, and I don't
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: want that to happen, so I so I just cleaned
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: up more than I usually did, and there you can't
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: the kitchen one. You can't put that light switch faceplate
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: in there. It's just not it doesn't fit in there.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: But I left it very nice. Oh and then luckily
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: I tried that vodka and I didn't want it, so
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I just left that for them, and I was like, good,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: and I got a nice little review from her. But okay,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: I'm when I explain this briefly, she sent me messages
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: on Airbnb saying, hey, please make sure to keep my
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: apartment clean and not have hair in the shower, and
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, of course, But then when I
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: went to shower, her long black hair clearly not my hair,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: was in the shower. So she would ask me to
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: do things like be careful about keeping her apartment clean
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: for a few things like that, and then I find
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: out that she was doing those things. And people don't
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: notice how they live much of the time. They don't
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: notice their own habits. They only notice the habits of others.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: It's a lot easier to criticize outside of yourself than
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: to be aware and examine yourself. So I just had
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: that kind of things in mind when I cleaned the
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: entire house before I moved out, and that's very rare
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: on Airbnb for an airbnb person, especially when with experience
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: with so many guests, to make a big deal out
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: of out of something like hair in the shower if
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: that does come up, or like where you place the
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: tissue box or something like that. But given that, she
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: was very particular about those things, and I enjoyed the
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: apartment a lot.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I cleaned it.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Up very, very nice before I left, and I left
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: her some carabineers and travel equipment stuff that she said
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: she liked that I didn't need. I got extra carabiners
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: with my new hammock, and I was like, am I
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: gonna use these? And some fabric because she saw I
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: sew pockets onto the sides of the backpacks I have
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: so I can fit like beers and sodas inside the
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: backpack without using the volume of the backpack itself. She
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: thought that was cool. I left her some good fabric
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: for that so she could sew her own pockets. That's
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: what she wanted to do. And then the next day
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: I was out of there and I was on my
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: way to Jedju Island, South Korea. I had so much
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: fun in Busan. I was very excited to go explore
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Jedgie and see how different the island was. Islands of
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: any country are always so different than the mainland, and
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: this was the main island of South Korea, or the
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: main like tourist island that all the Chinese and Russians
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: go to.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: So I was excited to check it out.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Because I friggin loved Busson right before I was in Buson,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: like I don't know, two months ago maybe, and I
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: had a great time there.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: So now I was like, yeah, man, give me South
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Korea again. Oh you know, it's so weird, ok.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: I should just mention this first, because I had my
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: first encounter with a belligerent air passenger that I've ever
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: had in fifteen years hundreds of flights, I don't know
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: how many, I finally met a real jerk and it
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: was very surprising. Yeah, this is just the airplane ride
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: over there. So I'll talk about Korea itself in the
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: next episode, but let's finish up this episode with the
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: airplane ride. To judge you, I actually didn't have to
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: use my package jacket out of Mongolia for some reason.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: All carry ons were accepted this flight. That was nice,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: So I put up there. I was like, well, that's good,
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: that's some good luck. And then I sat down and
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: there was this loud shouting from the back of the plane,
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: and a bunch of people looked behind. But I've been
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: in one hundred planes, and I was like, who cares.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: I don't care, and I just didn't even turn around.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: And then I heard like stomping, and the shouting guy
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: who had been stomping, I did hear? At first I didn't,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: but he kept shouting and he was saying like, I'm
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: going here, I'm going here, let me go. And then
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: he stomped over and sat in the seat in front
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: of me, and I was like, darn it, because I
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: don't want to sit next to someone who's going to
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: shout at a air stewardess for or an air hostess
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: to get around them, like you can't wait one minute
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: or politely say it.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: He can't.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: He was shouting, and I was like, oh boy. And
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: because he was shouting, and because we were in Asia,
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: I was like, probably Chinese.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Turns out that.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Hypothesis was correct. That's the end of that story. He
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: was Chinese. That's the end of figuring out who he was,
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: of stereotyping someone based on them shouting yes, because he
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: turned to who I assumed was his girlfriend and spoken
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Chinese to her, and I was like, yep, that makes sense.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: So I was like, that was rude that he was
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: yelling at the air hostess when he just needed to
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: get like a few just you can just quietly turn side.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: He wasn't a huge guy, he was a normally sized person.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: He could have just turned sideways and gone past her
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: and got to his seat. We weren't taking off or anything.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: We're still waiting to even get onto the taxing to
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: taxi onto the runway, so we had plenty of time.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: But he was shouting to get to his to the
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: point that it was disrupting passengers.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: And that was weird.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: But I was like whatever, and I put in my
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: earplugs and put down my mask, and then they asked me,
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: please listen to the safety thing, and I put it
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: in my mask. And then the guy, like the guy,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: the belligerent man in front of me, thrust the chair
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: back so he was leaning back in the chair, but
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: he just like pushed it back as hard as possible
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: and like bounced toward me. And I was like whoa,
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: And the stewardess came by and she was like, sir,
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: we're about to move. We're about to take off, so
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: put your chair up. And he was like, the chair
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: goes back. In English, even though he's Chinese, it was yeah,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: I think Chinese tourists know that more people will understand
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: them in English than China.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: He's like, but it goes back.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: She's like yes, but to take off, you have to
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: put your chair up.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: You can't have it back. He's like duh. And he
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: puts it up and I was like, oh god, I
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: have to sit behind this guy.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: And she walks away, and as soon as she walks away,
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: he bends his chair back again, like pretty violently and
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: pushes it so it's like right in my face. And
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: I tapped the side of the chair and he turns around.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: He's like what. I was like, you have to put
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: the chair up. We're about to take off, and he said, no,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have to put the chair up.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: It goes back. It's fine.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: It's like, no, you have to put the chair up.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: While we're taking off. It's going to shake. It's very
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: close to me. And he goes, we're not flying yet.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: We're not flying yet, are we?
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: I don't have to.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: I don't have to do that because you say I do.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: And I was like, the she, the air hostess just
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: told you. This is every single plane you're going to
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: be on. You have to put your tables up and
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: put your chairs to the right position so that they
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: can take off safely. So he's like, I'm not doing it.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: I was like, okay, I'll just call the people then,
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: and I pushed the button and then he was like fuck,
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: like did that dude just swear? And he put his
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: seat back up to the normal position, and I was
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: like okay, and I turned off the light so that
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: she didn't come over, and then he pushed his chair back,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: like the chair back again multiple times, tore to me
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: like he was like that Tim Robinson sketch where he's
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: pretending to throw water on the guy, except this was
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: a full chair and he was like violently throwing it back,
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: so he was doing that. I was like, am I
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: is this man a child? He was like fifty or sixty,
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: but he was obviously acting like a baby, and it
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: was so bizarre. I was confused, and I looked over
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: and the other people, like other people on the plane
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: were like looking at him, and I noticed one guy
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: to my right roe like staring at him intently, and
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: I was like, this is crazy. And so when he
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: put it forward again before he was going to push
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: it back, I just put my hand out and stopped
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: it from like coming back toward me again. And he
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: felt that and he whips around, looks over his chair
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: at me and says, what are things fine? Are you fine?
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I'm fine. Stop pushing your chair back.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: You can put it back after we take off, and
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: then he yelled, fuck you do you want to fight.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: Again?
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: In shock, basically, there's a fifty let's say fifty five.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: There's a fifty five year old man with a crazy
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: shock of half curly black hair turning around in his
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: seat while we're getting taxiing onto the runway getting ready
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: to take off, not wanting to put his seat up
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: after there, Stewart has made him turning around in his
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: seat swearing at me in a plane and asking if
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: I want to fight? And he put up his fis
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: like he put up his fists like fisticuffs, like fighting,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: like he had never fought in his life before. But
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: he had his fists up around the chair with his
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: fat head it was so bizarre. And I told him, yes,
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: please fight me on a plane, and his face was
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: like what, And he got kind of confused and he
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: said fuck you and then turned back to face forward,
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: and the whole plane is just like what is this
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: guy doing? And the guy who'd been staring at him
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: intently looked over at me and mouthed, hey, are you okay?
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: He's just.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: And crazy. Man didn't talk to me much. He did
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: like glare at me a couple times when he got
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: up out of his seat to go to the bathroom.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: It was only a two hour flight, so I just
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: read books and I just looked back at him because
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: I was like, you should you should hit me? I
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: guess then you're gonna be arrested and that would be
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: the funniest thing ever. So whenever he glared at me
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: when he was getting up from a seat, I just
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: calmly stared back at him with engaging eye contact. But
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: he was well enough versed in self preservation that he
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: didn't physically touch me. And after before we took off,
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: when he said like fuck you and then turned on
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: a fight, I was like, should I ask a air
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: should I report this? This is crazy behavior from an
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: air passenger. It never happens if you don't travel a lot.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Just so you know, that is a one in a
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: million thing. That's crazy. I've never seen it in real
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: life on a plane. I've never that's the craziest person
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen on a plane in hundreds of flights.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: I see way more people crazier in cars all the time.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: Road rage is a very real thing. Plane rage is
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: not really a thing.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: But this guy had it.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: But honestly, I was kind of in shock, so I
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: didn't report it to the airline at the time that
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: had happened, but I didn't report it because I wasn't
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: physically intimidated by the guy, and I've dealt with crazy
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: people forever, so it wasn't a huge It wasn't It
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: wasn't too much of a problem for me because I
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: wasn't worried. But I realized later everyone in the plane
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: seemed pretty worried, and I should have reported the air
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: stewardess if for no other reason, then the host or
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: hostess could air host or hostess could tell the guy, like, hey,
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: you can't act like that on an airplane. I told
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: him that, but it would make more sense coming from
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: someone with a uniform on. So that was pretty crazy.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: We land in Jedu two hours later. He just has
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: some mug and going on with me. And then when
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: he stands up to get his backpack or his suitcase
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: for him and his girlfriend, I realized he has a
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: kid with him, so that must be his wife and
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: that is their child.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: And that's how this guy.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: Acts around his family. It was even you know, it
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: got even stranger. And the whole time he's for like
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: a minute when he's taking down his luggage, he doesn't
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: look at me, and then finally he stares at me
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: and like pushes his head forward, and I just look
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: up at him, and he starts talking to me again,
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: and he just starts trying to start crap. And the
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: guy who'd been staring at him intently in the beginning
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: leaned over and he typed. He was typing something into
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: his phone and then leaned over and in Chinese, his
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: phone spoke and it said she and Zion jiong blah blah,
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: and it was the effective sit down, be quiet, or
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: I'm going to call the police on you right.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Now, or arrest. Maybe I was I don't know if
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: that guy.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: Was like the air marshal on the flight or what
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: exactly was going on, but that guy was just fed up.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: And I felt really bad because he seemed like a
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: nice guy.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: And on the way out, we were walking out and
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: he was like, sorry about that guy, Welcome to Korea,
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: and I think he was Korean, and it was just ause,
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: you have to man, people just be kind. Why why
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: cause trouble for everybody else. So when I got to
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Korea and got to my hotel room, I had been
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: thinking in the back burner about this guy, and I
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: was like, you know what, I have to report that,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: and so I called up the airlines and I wrote
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: to the airlines also and made a report about that guy.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: And this is just for anyone else who encounters a
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: situation like that. If you're so shocked you don't know
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: what to do, like I was, call the air host over,
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: call the air hostess over, and let them know something
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: is happening. Because again I wasn't personally worried, but it
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: as I thought about it, everybody else on that plane
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: was very worried. And that guy doesn't know how to
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: act on an airplane, so I should have reported it
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: at the time, and now I will know going forward
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: that I should report something like that immediately. But because
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: it was directed at me and I was fine, I
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: just didn't. So I should have been considering others more.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: And obviously that guy should have been considering others more,
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: especially considering his tiny, like eight year old daughter that
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: he is swearing and threatening to fight people in front of.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: But guess what, that guy totally sucked. My stay in
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: jed you was awesome. It was a great time. I
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: will talk about that in the next episode. Thank you
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: so much for listening. I'm gonna go out for a while.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: I hope you have a great day and I will
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: talk to you soon. Oh.

  Speaker 2: you want to talk. Have a great day if you
