  the camera placed okay we good are we rolling seems to be i think so ready
• 0:30
  caught me off guard a little bit why because i hit the record button
• 0:35
  yes well that's what you keep saying to do okay i'm just gonna hit it real quick real quick before
• 0:42
  anything starts and then we'll have everything but we don't have time to talk about all the good
• 0:46
  stuff before you hit record well maybe we could just talk about that in the podcast i don't know
• 0:52
  people might enjoy it that's all the secret squirrel stuff that they're not supposed to
• 0:57
  know about right secret squirrel stuff so I'm speaking of squirrels it's a pretty funny thing
• 1:04
  the other day just text like post or whatever and said you can fit so many squirrels in one
• 1:11
  of those tube things before the bank teller figures out how to shut it off
• 1:14
  squirrels just comes zooting into the bank what they don't have those at ours anymore yeah I think
• 1:27
  they took a lot of them out i i think they're cool i think that the little vacuum tube things
• 1:33
  are are like one of the coolest inventions you know what i mean they are pretty neat i think so
• 1:39
  costco uses them they have them overhead costco yeah for what uh probably past stuff orders
• 1:46
  whatever you know back and forth between the front office and like the meat department which
• 1:51
  is on the other side of the store and stuff like that all right but it also goes to cashiers so
• 1:56
  probably they have like the you know people in the back because you know i think costco still
• 2:02
  does do a decent amount of cash business as well so they you know they do have their little locked
• 2:07
  up areas and stuff like that so yeah nice yeah i thought so yeah our bank uh doesn't you can't
• 2:15
  even see a real teller through the drive-thru anymore you'd have to go inside they have these
• 2:19
  uh like atm machine things and you they got remote tellers somewhere else yeah oh really there's an
• 2:25
  actual teller it's not just the atm well it's like a screen you know like with a person but
• 2:31
  they're not at the bank they're probably in their office at home doing i don't know where they are
• 2:37
  or maybe it's ai now it's a real person how do you know because i know did you ask it's not that
• 2:44
  good yet yes and it said yes i am a real person you know i i was going through uh apple customer
• 2:53
  service once and and the person that they they must have such a script that they read off of i
• 2:58
  actually asked the person like are you an ai because your answers seem very scripted
• 3:05
  they said no they're not but i didn't trust them yeah i mean we've gotten like calls where you know
• 3:14
  it's a chat bot on the other end um and you ask it and it'll tell you oh no i'm a real person
• 3:21
  And it sounds convincing if you're not familiar with this stuff, but you can ask it little things just to verify.
• 3:28
  It's real easy.
• 3:29
  Oh, so what's your name?
• 3:30
  Oh, can you spell that for me?
• 3:33
  No.
• 3:36
  Oops.
• 3:36
  I'm sorry.
• 3:37
  I didn't catch that, Dave.
• 3:40
  Uh-huh.
• 3:41
  Nice.
• 3:42
  So it's pretty funny.
• 3:44
  But yeah, I mean, that stuff's happening right now.
• 3:46
  You know, that's one of these, you know, unintended consequences of the release of AI, right?
• 3:51
  And it's a big one, right?
• 3:53
  I mean, we had industrial revolution.
• 3:55
  There was a lot of fear back then, and I think we all did okay.
• 4:00
  But, you know, this is a little different.
• 4:02
  This is really different.
• 4:04
  It's not so much just an advancement and a retooling of skills.
• 4:08
  It's the reduction of the need for labor, literally, you know?
• 4:14
  That's different.
• 4:15
  um you know and i have talked before about like i've i honestly feel like this there's an ai bubble
• 4:22
  i really do now this doesn't mean it's like the dot-com bubble right everyone's like oh it's not
• 4:28
  it's not the same it's not the same it is different there are some fundamentally different
• 4:32
  pieces to it but the thing about it is it's overinflated the money is not coming in and
• 4:38
  the success rate is pretty dismal at this point so uh yeah at some point that bubble's going to
• 4:44
  And, you know, it doesn't mean AI is going away.
• 4:49
  It doesn't mean it's going to change the landscape.
• 4:51
  It just means some really massive tech stock companies are going to have a, you know, reckoning day, I suppose.
• 5:00
  Right.
• 5:01
  Like, yeah, half a trillion dollars.
• 5:04
  And how much how much revenue?
• 5:07
  Zero.
• 5:09
  Well, that's not going to work.
• 5:11
  Right.
• 5:12
  so it's that's that's my what are you advising people not not to uh be too willy-nilly when
• 5:20
  they invest in this stuff because their money might just go yeah i wouldn't i certainly wouldn't
• 5:24
  look at it as a sure thing that would be my thing right i mean i think there's still opportunity
• 5:30
  available there and i i think that that you know making the right decisions for the right plays
• 5:36
  you could do well right but i do think that there's a bubble that's going to burst
• 5:41
  i think i think the you know just the the economics of the whole thing it's it's not
• 5:48
  it doesn't look right there's something wrong here you know what i mean
• 5:52
  oh i don't think it'll affect me much i have too much skin in the game no no the thing that's
• 6:01
  that's hitting real hard right now is things like what we were just talking about the call centers
• 6:05
  right you get into a call center and you're like yeah i'm in a call center and that's what i do and
• 6:10
  And, you know, I basically answer the phone, read off this script, watch a decision tree and, you know, continue down this, this, you know, flow chart essentially.
• 6:21
  And if I find out if I get to a spot where I have not resolved it and I've reached the end of my flow chart, well, then I escalate to another person.
• 6:30
  That position is likely going to be a thing of the past.
• 6:35
  Right.
• 6:36
  And that's a lot of people.
• 6:37
  That's not a small amount of people.
• 6:39
  so
• 6:40
  and that's just one you look at
• 6:44
  you know
• 6:44
  there's just so many areas
• 6:48
  you know
• 6:48
  in finance
• 6:52
  even
• 6:52
  billing
• 6:54
  just a lot of these manual
• 6:58
  jobs, check posting
• 6:59
  things of this nature
• 7:01
  if you can have a computer
• 7:06
  program do it for you
• 7:07
  then
• 7:07
  you know i mean hey i i've also been told by my in-laws since i don't really go to fast food
• 7:16
  restaurants they went to a new wendy's they put up here and apparently the order taker at the
• 7:20
  window is not a real person either yeah and it's they did not enjoy that they had trouble
• 7:26
  interacting with it apparently and they said they're not going back because of well yeah and
• 7:31
  there will be more examples of that, right? There's without question
• 7:35
  this, I think
• 7:39
  I think basically we came
• 7:45
  we pushed it out to the wild too soon, personally.
• 7:49
  I really do. There's a lot of
• 7:52
  infancy type stage weirdness
• 7:57
  that's going on. That's one.
• 8:01
  another big thing is we don't truly understand how this works.
• 8:07
  That's a biggie.
• 8:08
  You think like,
• 8:09
  I don't know.
• 8:10
  It just works.
• 8:12
  Is that a good thing?
• 8:14
  Is that a really a good thing?
• 8:16
  I don't know.
• 8:16
  Maybe it is,
• 8:18
  you know,
• 8:18
  who knows?
• 8:20
  You know,
• 8:20
  I think,
• 8:21
  you know,
• 8:21
  there was a desire obviously to commercialize it so that you could get the,
• 8:25
  the amount of revenue and,
• 8:28
  and,
• 8:28
  uh,
• 8:29
  talent required to push this thing, you know, to the next level, to the next level and, and get it
• 8:35
  kind of skyrocketing as opposed to what it's been. Right. I mean, when it was like, you know,
• 8:41
  70 years of, of work on this project, if not more. Right. And, uh, you know, Isaac Asimov was right.
• 8:51
  You know what I mean? You just look all the way back. This is not a new thing, right? We just,
• 8:56
  It's new in its form that we have access to, to us, right?
• 9:02
  So, but I think more research, more development would have been a much better thing and really get to the point where we do kind of understand it.
• 9:11
  We understand what the limitations are, you know, a much better grasp on what this thing is.
• 9:19
  But here we are, right?
• 9:21
  And so now it's just run with it.
• 9:23
  But this bubble has created a lot of drive for the talent, for the funding, which allows us to kind of speed that thing along, right?
• 9:36
  As opposed to if it was still left in the data nerds' hands, the funding would be pretty dismal and research would be ongoing but slow.
• 9:48
  I think we're in the FAFO stage.
• 9:51
  So we're fooling around and we're going to find out.
• 9:53
  Yeah, there's a lot of, yeah, I mean, it's a big deal, right?
• 9:59
  And, you know, I think people that are, you know, in people that manage the economies of, you know, cities, counties, states, countries, et cetera.
• 10:15
  I think, you know, there's a real, you know, question mark there, right?
• 10:19
  what is this going to do to my country's economy right this is why there's so much pressure on us
• 10:26
  to become the first yeah you know what you mean by first it's already there right we're already
• 10:31
  you know it's going to ebb and flow things are it's it's on its own it's kind of organic at this
• 10:38
  point and and that's a little sketchy too and that's not even getting into any of the privacy
• 10:45
  concerns like with some of these things like like flock cameras they know when you're coming going
• 10:50
  you can't literally leave your front door without people knowing where you're going yeah the ring
• 10:56
  cameras the way they turn that into a massive surveillance network it's like dude i they just uh
• 11:02
  i don't remember which state it was i want to say it was i want to say it was mass but i i don't
• 11:10
  recall the state. So don't take my word on that one. But whatever state it was, just a judge just
• 11:17
  ruled that, you know, cops can grab your Google searches without a warrant. Well, because you put
• 11:23
  them into Google and Google is public. That's a pretty sketchy one because if you think about it,
• 11:29
  there's an expectation of privacy when you're doing a Google search. You don't like print out
• 11:35
  your search and leave it laying around and your history and stuff and like there's literal memes
• 11:41
  about you know if i die delete my browser history right right which you know hey whatever but it's
• 11:48
  your these are your this is i would argue it's still private you know honestly even though you
• 11:56
  know i have i have seen these shows that my wife watches with the you know the true crime things and
• 12:02
  And that's the first thing they do is pull up a warrant on your Google search.
• 12:05
  And, you know, this guy looked how to make chloroform and how to hide dead bodies.
• 12:11
  He's pretty, pretty much guilty.
• 12:13
  How many trash bags will I need for?
• 12:15
  Yeah, it's like, yeah, you know, hey, if you've got a warrant, you've got a warrant, right?
• 12:21
  There's a different thing, right?
• 12:22
  At that point, a judge has determined that the actions you've taken or that they have evidence of
• 12:30
  or supposed to have evidence of,
• 12:33
  or maybe just felt like you were just not someone they liked,
• 12:37
  or maybe, who knows, maybe the palms were greased.
• 12:42
  You don't know. Nobody knows.
• 12:44
  That stuff doesn't happen. What are you talking about?
• 12:46
  Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure.
• 12:52
  You know where my trust is on that It a there isn there nowhere trust could go but up from where I sit
• 13:07
  Because it's at the lowest possible place.
• 13:11
  There's zero.
• 13:12
  None.
• 13:14
  You don't trust in the benevolence and true faith and transparency of our government?
• 13:21
  I mean, come on, man.
• 13:22
  not even not even in the tiniest fractional amount not even a fleeting thought on on a very
• 13:32
  good day nope not even a little bit yeah none that's probably a good thing yeah i think so
• 13:38
  i think so i think it would be unwise to put any faith into into that mess personally it's me nice
• 13:49
  agreed yeah yeah anyway what else is going on oh i don't know what is going on i mean you know
• 13:58
  hey we just had that whole holiday thing happen and oh yeah yeah christmas and that was pretty
• 14:04
  nice you know uh yeah spend some time with family and hang out and cook some good food and
• 14:11
  we did that yeah what did you cook uh like a prime rib roast um and uh brussels sprouts with
• 14:23
  pancetta pan seared brussels sprouts with pancetta and um uh my wife made popovers
• 14:32
  what's that popover it's really good it's really good but it's kind of a cheat food so it's kind of
• 14:40
  a bready custard eggy kind of a bread thing bread i know bread sounds good it is it is it's very
• 14:50
  tasty but i will tell you this i feel it the next day like you know i was telling our oldest this the
• 15:00
  other day um not like i feel bad like not gluten or you know sealy any of that kind of stuff
• 15:10
  right just i don't feel i don't feel as good right i guess is the way to say it like i guess
• 15:19
  if you were working out regularly and then you stop for for a week or something you don't feel
• 15:26
  bad but you don't feel as good as you did when you were regularly working out does that make sense
• 15:34
  it does make sense and i'm in the same boat because uh i fell off the wagon just a little
• 15:39
  little tiny bit because uh we ended up doing the raclette thing yeah and how was that so
• 15:47
  it was good turned out well i ate too much you ate too much yeah everybody liked it i just ate too
• 15:53
  much yeah i mean it's hard not to like i mean you know again the the the scent can be a little
• 16:01
  off-putting for someone that's not a you know not familiar with with you know cheese in general
• 16:08
  right and and i don't mean like yeah i go to the grocery store and buy a block of cheese and shred
• 16:13
  it that i'm talking you know like you know nicer finer cheeses or whatever yeah we had trouble
• 16:20
  finding that cheese yeah which is interesting to me yeah so well i had to drive like almost an hour
• 16:27
  away to get it we went we ended up going to whole foods yeah that's never been there before that's
• 16:34
  that's a pretty good bet if you if you don't have a cheese
• 16:37
  chew on my tongue a little bit there if you don't have a cheese shop near you
• 16:45
  then then whole foods pretty good bet for getting raclette and i mean look
• 16:52
  he drove almost an hour to get cheese this is telling you something if you're wondering i don't
• 17:02
  know maybe i'd like it maybe i wouldn't i'm i i am pretty sure you'll end up liking it i really am
• 17:11
  yeah probably yeah so yeah we went down to the whole foods it was a what a zoo that place was
• 17:18
  holy cow oh yeah so yeah city shopping is a little bit different like i think even like the parking
• 17:25
  spaces are smaller and people are like just totally in a rush and don't give a care about
• 17:32
  anything including you and they're just like get out of my way and that kind of nonsense but
• 17:38
  yeah then we get up to this is this will show you how far out of the loop i am
• 17:44
  they they got this thing uh to pay and she's like do you want to use palm pay and i'm like what
• 17:50
  like are you set up for palm pay i'm like i have no idea what that is
• 17:54
  she's like yeah you just put your palm on the thing and it reads your
• 17:58
  palm print and i'm like uh no would you like to no i we don't have anything like that around here
• 18:07
  but i'm sure it's a lot of places just not not where i'm at um that was an amazon thing i think
• 18:14
  right amazon now owns whole foods right and and apparently because then they said do you
• 18:20
  have an amazon prime account and my wife says yes yes yes we do why she's like because you can pull
• 18:26
  up your uh prime thing and you get like discounts or something so like she pulled up a thing and
• 18:31
  they scanned a qr code or whatever yeah it gave us a little bit off of there but yeah it's like
• 18:36
  the rewards card or whatever from any other something like that yeah and then our order
• 18:41
  showed up in our amazon cart apparently for perpetuity yeah some of everything's linked
• 18:48
  Some of them actually put in place, I don't know if they were, if they succeeded or not, but they, they had them where literally you would walk into the store and it like facially scanned you, like did facial recognition and stuff and was like, oh, this is you.
• 19:04
  And you just take your items, put them in your cart and go and walk out with your items.
• 19:09
  And it's like, I took care of everything for you.
• 19:12
  Just.
• 19:13
  Yeah.
• 19:13
  If it does, I, I didn't notice it, but it probably does.
• 19:16
  Yeah.
• 19:17
  I mean, I think Sam's Club does because we do the thing like a scan and go when we go in there.
• 19:21
  Yeah, yeah.
• 19:23
  And, you know, like she does it on her phone.
• 19:25
  We just walk out the door.
• 19:27
  Don't have to even hit up the cash register.
• 19:30
  Yeah.
• 19:31
  Just thinking about this stuff, our local grocery store, it's a food line.
• 19:37
  They just put in the self-checkout stuff.
• 19:43
  Oh, okay.
• 19:43
  Yeah.
• 19:44
  I hate those.
• 19:46
  Me too.
• 19:47
  Me too. Here I am like one item and I'm standing in a line of like seven people waiting for the cashier. And they're like, you know, self check. I'm like, yeah, that's fine. I'm not going to take your job from you. You know, sorry, I'm just not going to. I don't have any interest in that. No.
• 20:06
  you know yeah that's my take i'll take the inconvenience of standing in a line and waiting
• 20:11
  for an inordinate amount of time over self-checkout mostly not always you know but for the most part
• 20:21
  i do because that's someone's job it's the same thing with the ai stuff right it's like that's
• 20:29
  someone's job.
• 20:32
  Yeah.
• 20:33
  If you want to make that
• 20:34
  untenable for people, and
• 20:37
  I'm not suggesting that
• 20:39
  you do this,
• 20:41
  but just keep going through
• 20:43
  the loop with whatever AI you get
• 20:45
  on the phone until it gets you
• 20:47
  to a real person every
• 20:49
  single time for the most trivial thing.
• 20:53
  Eventually it'll be more
• 20:54
  cost effective just to have real people.
• 20:59
  Maybe.
• 21:00
  No, it will.
• 21:01
  But only if enough people do that.
• 21:03
  Or you just get stuck in that loop forever.
• 21:05
  Well, and that's happened to me.
• 21:06
  And it's frustrating.
• 21:08
  But I finally got there.
• 21:10
  You know, you can do things like that if you want to.
• 21:16
  I'm more of a passive resistor, right?
• 21:18
  You've opened up the self-checkout line.
• 21:20
  I'm going to a teller.
• 21:23
  Or cashier.
• 21:24
  Sorry.
• 21:25
  Teller.
• 21:25
  It's not a bank.
• 21:26
  yeah i remember um this is a long time ago i worked at a grocery store and uh dude they didn't
• 21:34
  even like take credit cards back then yeah it was this cash or check or check yeah yeah and then
• 21:40
  they ran the check did a little thing and come back yep it'll through the thing and then they
• 21:47
  put it in there stamps the back of it and all yeah those were the uh interesting times i mean
• 21:54
  obviously we didn't get through as quick
• 21:56
  as we do now
• 21:57
  you know but
• 21:59
  yeah maybe
• 22:02
  people didn't care as much
• 22:04
  about super
• 22:06
  efficient shopping
• 22:07
  I guess
• 22:10
  I didn't seem
• 22:12
  to mind at all it didn't bother
• 22:14
  me
• 22:14
  yeah who knows
• 22:19
  who knows
• 22:19
  people seem to be in a hurry a lot
• 22:23
  they are they are it's like i was you know talking to our oldest the other day and we were putting up
• 22:32
  hamburger meat and he's like do you flatten it i'm like do what he's like you know press it all
• 22:39
  down and do a flat thing and i'm like no don't really bother with that it'll store better right
• 22:45
  i mean if you so we buy like 10 pounds of a hamburger and then we'll we'll you know divvy
• 22:51
  it up and put it in freezer bags, right?
• 22:53
  You know, vacuum seal bags.
• 22:56
  And what he's saying is, you know, we just take the chunk and throw it in there and vacuum
• 23:00
  seal it.
• 23:01
  It's just a frozen ball of hamburger meat.
• 23:05
  And he's saying you squish it down flat, right?
• 23:08
  And it just goes across like a, you know, thin thing.
• 23:11
  And when you go store it in the freezer, you know, you can stack a lot of those and they'll
• 23:14
  stack really nicely.
• 23:15
  and what his his main point was when you pull it out it defrosts way quicker
• 23:23
  and i was just like i guess i've never really found myself in that much of a rush to defrost
• 23:31
  the meat like okay to get the meat out i'm gonna have to wait a few hours for it to frost or
• 23:39
  whatever you know um i'm i'm good it's not an emergency situation i don't know man i think i
• 23:51
  might be on his side i'm not i like i like the uniformity and the ease of storage i think i think
• 23:59
  he's got a point on that one no way and i do like that point but it's also a lot of work going into
• 24:05
  it. Think about it. I guess you could use a rolling pen.
• 24:09
  Save time now. Save time later. What? But again,
• 24:13
  I guess you could use a rolling pen. We'd probably make that a little easier.
• 24:17
  Yeah, I don't know. I just, it doesn't, I don't have any
• 24:21
  real need to do that. I've got more than enough freezer space.
• 24:26
  And, you know, everything kind of goes
• 24:29
  on its little shelf or in a slot and
• 24:32
  there's different types of food in different areas and just grab the hamburger meat throw it in the
• 24:39
  fridge or you know the night before or if it's the day of just throw it on the counter and just let it
• 24:45
  thaw just fine never really cared and maybe it's a me problem because like i'm the guy that would
• 24:53
  cut the the vacuum bags like make sure each one is you know within the thousandths of an inch of
• 24:59
  uniformity between each one and then i got the scale out measuring the individual portions to
• 25:05
  make sure they're all equal and yeah it's it's a you thing it is there's no question about it
• 25:13
  i'm like and then when they get stacked in the in the freezer you know like you got to put the
• 25:16
  the level and plumb you know like plumb line on them to make sure they're all in there properly
• 25:22
  you got a plumb bob hanging from your exactly
• 25:25
  put the level up top yep it's okay you're gonna square the bubble up exactly yeah i'm not can't
• 25:34
  beat off a little bit i'm more of a uh hey look there's 10 pounds of meat i don't know
• 25:39
  yeah it's about a pound okay zach that's it it's just very scientific very i did do some more
• 25:49
  steak cutting though nice so that was an exercise in the fun i guess yeah we got the standing rib
• 25:56
  roast did you use that uh breaking knife the what the breaking knife what is the breaking knife The scimitar looking sword knife No I don have one of those
• 26:07
  Didn't I give you one?
• 26:09
  No.
• 26:10
  Yeah, I did.
• 26:11
  No, you did not.
• 26:14
  Yeah, I did.
• 26:17
  Negative.
• 26:17
  Yeah, a wood handled one.
• 26:20
  No.
• 26:21
  I would have remembered that for sure.
• 26:23
  It did.
• 26:24
  I had two of them.
• 26:25
  I have one now.
• 26:26
  I gave it to you right after the brisket.
• 26:28
  I'm like, since you don't have one.
• 26:30
  Somebody has one.
• 26:30
  It's certainly not me.
• 26:31
  Somewhere in the stuff that you brought home is a knife.
• 26:34
  No.
• 26:35
  Ask your wife.
• 26:36
  No.
• 26:36
  I bet she knows where it is, too.
• 26:38
  She'll be like, of course.
• 26:40
  I can guarantee you.
• 26:41
  It's right here.
• 26:42
  And you'll be like, I don't even remember this.
• 26:45
  And she'll be like, it's right here.
• 26:46
  I don't think so.
• 26:51
  Not really.
• 26:53
  It's not here anymore.
• 26:54
  And I gave it to you.
• 26:55
  I know I did.
• 26:58
  Yeah.
• 26:58
  I remember after all the, you know, sharp, don't touch, you know, this is good for this.
• 27:03
  This is how you, you know.
• 27:05
  Yeah.
• 27:06
  Yeah.
• 27:08
  I mean, I don't know where you would smuggle one of those things because I'm pretty sure it ain't hiding on us.
• 27:14
  They aren't.
• 27:15
  That one isn't the huge one.
• 27:17
  It's big, but it's not as huge as the one I still have.
• 27:21
  I'll inquire about this, but I mean, I'm pretty sure she would have said something.
• 27:25
  Yeah.
• 27:25
  Inquire.
• 27:25
  It's, it's a really, for that particular exact thing, it's a great knife.
• 27:32
  Oh, I bet.
• 27:33
  That would have really come in handy.
• 27:35
  Yeah.
• 27:35
  And they sharpen up really quick too.
• 27:37
  A couple of poles across a steel and, and you're, you're back.
• 27:42
  So I'll notice like when we, we bought a case of New York strip, right.
• 27:47
  I'll get through about one packer.
• 27:50
  Right.
• 27:51
  Before I need to resharpen.
• 27:52
  Sometimes not even a full packer.
• 27:54
  It depends on the meat, the quality of the meat and what I'm cutting on.
• 27:58
  You know, is it a plastic tray or is it, you know, a wood cutting board?
• 28:03
  All this stuff.
• 28:04
  But, yeah, just run it a couple times across the steel and boom, next thing you know, it's just like butter through these things.
• 28:12
  Nice.
• 28:13
  Yeah, and having that extra long blade also helps when you lay down the blade and you, you know, you're trying to cut your stakes.
• 28:20
  and i'm sure you noticed this but it is very hard to keep the steaks from being like you know
• 28:26
  tapered or you know off etc you know i i did pretty good so i got like 20 steaks out of it
• 28:35
  nice and they were all pretty pretty uniform and then i had like the the end piece that you know
• 28:40
  like it was a little thinner yeah yeah so we actually uh i cooked that up and we used it for
• 28:47
  for a collette people liked it i mean all along with the regular charcuterie stuff yeah yeah but
• 28:55
  they they took the ribeye pretty quickly well i imagine that's my favorite that disappeared fast
• 29:02
  that is my favorite right there i just something about ribeye just for me it's i like fat sorry i
• 29:12
  I just like fat.
• 29:14
  I think the ribeye went first, and then the prosciutto, and then maybe the speck went third.
• 29:21
  Really?
• 29:22
  Yeah.
• 29:23
  Okay.
• 29:24
  I like.
• 29:24
  Plenty of salami left over.
• 29:26
  I don't know.
• 29:27
  Nobody liked the salami.
• 29:28
  Salami fans.
• 29:29
  Yeah.
• 29:30
  It's hard.
• 29:31
  You know, different people like different things.
• 29:35
  I love speck.
• 29:36
  Yeah.
• 29:37
  Speck is wonderful to me.
• 29:39
  But, you know, everyone has their own taste, you know.
• 29:43
  And that's one of the...
• 29:44
  Soprasetta.
• 29:45
  Yeah.
• 29:46
  I think that went pretty good, yeah.
• 29:47
  Yeah, I like Soprasetta.
• 29:49
  That stuff's yummy.
• 29:50
  Yummy, yummy.
• 29:51
  Now, did you get the charcuterie at Whole Foods as well?
• 29:56
  No, we'd get that at Publix.
• 29:58
  The Whole Foods really didn't have much for that kind of stuff, surprisingly.
• 30:02
  Really?
• 30:04
  The deli department was really kind of lacking, at least at the one we went to.
• 30:08
  all right well that's interesting ours is i want to say the one well ours we have one about the
• 30:15
  same distance about an hour drive away and i want to say that they have a pretty decent selection
• 30:21
  they do have really good high quality top end meats if you want and they have like a butcher
• 30:28
  shop with like you know beef and you know meats and stuff but then like they had a deli department
• 30:34
  with that kind of stuff and they really didn't have that much huh interesting i would have
• 30:39
  expected a little different but you know it's also they're going to do stuff regionally as well
• 30:46
  right so sometimes i i don't know if the stores differ like between store to store i haven't i
• 30:52
  have no idea that was the only one i've ever been into yeah there's there's small ones there's very
• 30:57
  gigantic ones and again depending on where you are you're going to see some different stuff
• 31:02
  there's a lot of the same right it's kind of like going to a public's go to a public's in florida
• 31:09
  you're going to find a little bit different stuff than you will if you go to a public's in north
• 31:13
  carolina they did have a very large like salad bar kind of thing set up by where the deli was
• 31:21
  so maybe they focus more on that stuff yeah yeah they have a solid salad bar i want to say they
• 31:28
  have like like an olive bar too and and some other stuff just yeah quite a few uh you know like
• 31:36
  i don't know that's not a table but you know the things where you the buffet things yeah yeah
• 31:40
  like just go put your mail together or something prepared prepared stuff but it's you know yeah
• 31:47
  it's an interesting place i don't it's been quite a long time it's probably been over two years
• 31:54
  since I've stepped foot in one.
• 31:56
  And it was weird to me because of the same thing.
• 32:00
  Like all the screens and stuff at the checkout,
• 32:02
  and I was just like, what?
• 32:05
  And then someone finally came and helped,
• 32:07
  and I was like, man, I'm not doing all that.
• 32:10
  I just want this stuff.
• 32:12
  And they're like, well, you could, and I'm like, I don't,
• 32:15
  I just, like, I got stuff.
• 32:17
  I would like to pay for my stuff and exit.
• 32:19
  the staff was super nice we called down there first and they were very helpful they set aside
• 32:27
  you know what we wanted and it was ready to pick up when we got there and yeah everything was good
• 32:32
  yeah they're there it's a i don't have any real gripes against the store so much as i have
• 32:38
  gripes against the whole automation automating people out of positions i guess
• 32:44
  it bothers me yeah no my ear again that yeah it does it bothers me and and to an extent there's
• 32:53
  going to be some of that but you know just the deletion of entire categories of jobs is not one
• 33:01
  i think is a great idea for us especially economically yeah you could make an you know
• 33:08
  argument that it would be better economically but it won't for the entirety of of our
• 33:15
  society or whatever right it just it's just going to create a a wider gap between the uh
• 33:25
  haves and the have-nots it's pretty big gap there already oh there is sure no question yeah it's
• 33:37
  just
• 33:38
  insane to think about.
• 33:41
  But hey, here we are.
• 33:42
  I got what I need.
• 33:44
  I'm in okay shape.
• 33:45
  I'm good.
• 33:47
  I have noticed though,
• 33:48
  like you've been doing
• 33:49
  a little bit more
• 33:50
  self-reflection on this.
• 33:53
  The older I get,
• 33:54
  the more I am
• 33:55
  that crotchety,
• 33:56
  grumpy asshole.
• 33:59
  Absolutely.
• 34:00
  I mean, it's just,
• 34:01
  it's insane.
• 34:02
  It's like I just don't have time
• 34:04
  for that shit.
• 34:04
  I just don't.
• 34:05
  you know what i mean yeah i've noticed that too just like yeah you you like i don't know
• 34:13
  like i used to care a lot more about being i don't know i guess it's not that i'm not nice i just
• 34:22
  i'm not dealing with that just i'm not going to you know so it's and i don't know what it is it's
• 34:31
  just weird i've been thinking about that lately just like wow sometimes you can be quite crotchety
• 34:38
  you old coot paying attention to people's feelings takes time and effort and when you get older you
• 34:47
  just don't have the time or the effort for that anymore well i have my easier to speak your mind
• 34:52
  and what you really feel i have my people that i pay attention to that with you know what i mean
• 34:58
  but then there's the rest of people and
• 35:02
  i i want everyone to be happy i want everyone to be you know successful and and in good shape
• 35:12
  but not enough to i just go do it have fun you know i don't know it's weird it's weird yeah no i i
• 35:25
  I hear you.
• 35:26
  I think everybody should be able to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't impact me or bother me, I guess.
• 35:34
  I just, that's why I like to stay home.
• 35:36
  Yeah, that's kind of my philosophy on things.
• 35:40
  Do what you want.
• 35:42
  Go.
• 35:43
  Be weird.
• 35:44
  Do your stuff.
• 35:45
  Have fun.
• 35:46
  Whatever you want to do.
• 35:47
  as long as you're not harming someone else or their property and and you're not
• 35:54
  making it so that they can't also do what they want you know i mean like be respectful be kind
• 36:03
  to each other and let people just do what they want stuff like i see so many like i use this
• 36:09
  this app called next door sometimes um you know for uh stuff around the farm for you know people's
• 36:18
  services maybe gutter cleaning our roof is really tall and the pitch on it is insane for where we
• 36:25
  live there's no need for this roof to have a pitch like it does so i'm not i'm not getting on the
• 36:33
  ladder no not not a chance right oh yeah yeah yeah no that's that's like seriously broken and
• 36:43
  not good if if alive kind of fall so no i'm worried about the person that's going to be up there
• 36:51
  not at all they're getting paid to do that they chose that life they're like hey yeah man would
• 36:57
  you like a job standing on roofs with a blower cleaning gutters yeah okay well you made that
• 37:03
  decision i'm sorry you know maybe you didn't maybe you just had to get a job and that's what
• 37:08
  it is and i understand that as well but yeah no i'm not doing it
• 37:13
  no i'm the old guy that says i don't want 50 bucks to go up there i'll do it my darn self
• 37:19
  well on yours i would
• 37:21
  i'd do it on yours too i don't think i don't know you might be surprised we had the guy up there and
• 37:29
  even the guys that do this are just like you know they're tying stuff off they're being
• 37:35
  extremely careful because they're like this is like insane
• 37:39
  like seriously like the guy that came when when we first moved out here getting internet was
• 37:47
  wow okay um and one of our options was whatever the satellite internet dish internet or whatever
• 37:58
  oh that thing oh yeah that stinks we had a guy come out to put the dang thing on the roof
• 38:03
  and he he was even like ah nah i don't want to go up there you know what i mean yeah
• 38:11
  it's a it and you know i mean there are people that do this and they're comfortable doing that
• 38:17
  i'm not one of those guys you know when i was in my 20s and probably even 30s sure but i i'm not
• 38:25
  anymore those were decades ago decades multiples of a decade
• 38:30
  i don't heal like i used to and this is very apparent that's true very and the ground gets
• 38:39
  harder the older you get it does it does so yeah it's just a risk i don't need to take you know
• 38:46
  okay now if if my circumstance changed and that's what i had to do to clean the gutters
• 38:53
  then that what i gotta do to clean the gutters but unless and until that happens i don want to do that at all i do have another idea Hear me out You send the wife up there
• 39:09
  You know what the messed up part is?
• 39:11
  She would do it, too.
• 39:12
  She just would.
• 39:13
  I know she would.
• 39:14
  And that's not okay.
• 39:16
  I can't.
• 39:17
  We had this shed at our old place, and it was a big two-story barn-looking shed.
• 39:23
  It was a big shed, right?
• 39:25
  um and uh we had to paint it right came just plain wood so we had to paint the whole thing
• 39:34
  so we were into a sprayer but you know at the very peaks of these things we had the tallest
• 39:39
  ladder we could get extension ladder and she's literally her tippy toes are on the very top rung
• 39:46
  the one you're not supposed to ever use as a step her tippy toes are on that and she's up against
• 39:52
  this thing like literally pressed against it like this because you know the ladder goes like this
• 39:58
  when you're standing you're and she's literally pressed up against their painting stuff like this
• 40:03
  and i'm just like yeah we're not we're not doing this is not okay you you know uh-uh
• 40:08
  my center of gravity would not have allowed me to do that
• 40:13
  well i'm glad everybody made it out okay me too and and so yeah now ladders are are a thing right
• 40:21
  step ladder is fine no problem but if it's if it's an extension type ladder you know no nope nope
• 40:29
  yeah a folding ladder yeah okay maybe depending i've seen some of those that are insanely big
• 40:37
  like 32 yeah they get pretty big too 32 foot yeah
• 40:42
  32 doesn't sound like a lot until you get up there you're like yeah that's pretty pretty far
• 40:46
  It's a lot. It's a lot. It really is. That's more than enough to change the equation. Yeah, that's a multiply by zero type of alteration to life at 30 feet. Yeah.
• 41:07
  absolutely yeah that's that's not a good thing i mean i just don't yeah and i'm not like uh heights
• 41:15
  you know that doesn't bother me it's not that it's just ladders happen to be like i think still
• 41:22
  to this day like the number one cause of injury and death for homeowners like number one wow
• 41:29
  the very top one like people get messed the hell up falling off ladders all the time it's
• 41:39
  yeah so i don't work in the trades anymore when i did screwing up ladders was kind of a thing
• 41:45
  that's just you had to do it um but i chose that see like full circle all the way back i chose
• 41:52
  to do that you ever seen those firefighting competitions where them guys just throw them
• 41:56
  ladders up and they're just climbing up them things it's crazy oh yeah yeah with the hooks on
• 42:01
  the on the ends and they like swing them and they're already like they or they have the ones
• 42:06
  with the teams and the dude hits the ladder and he's halfway up the ladder before it's even at
• 42:11
  the the building you know what i mean it's just like insane you know or the the hook ones where
• 42:18
  they do this and they climb up and they lift the ladder up and they climb up again that's what i'm
• 42:22
  talking about dude it's insane it's insane some of those fire firefighter competitions are are
• 42:27
  crazy and they bring in the hot-rodded trucks and they like do the line thing where they come up you
• 42:34
  know just i mean they're they're screaming in and they everyone jumps off and they're like one guy
• 42:40
  was doing the hose onto the fire hydrant the freaking meanwhile this drag car freaking fire
• 42:46
  truck is on its way and you another guy's like you're trying to get the hose and get it ready
• 42:52
  it's yeah it's it's pretty cool it's insane those those things are really really neat to watch
• 42:58
  for a period of time you know i imagine it kind of gets boring after about three
• 43:04
  iterations of the same thing but you know kind of like lumberjacking you've ever seen like
• 43:11
  lumberjacking comps that's that's yeah i mean you can you can only watch a log getting sawed so
• 43:18
  many times for you it's a little boring exactly exactly until they bring out the v v8 freaking
• 43:25
  chainsaws you watch these guys cut through logs like you know as you know just huge right they're
• 43:36
  like and done you're like yeah it's literally a v8 like a small block v8 motor that they strap a chain
• 43:46
  uh chainsaw on that would probably uh not be fun if like the chain broke and came around and whipped
• 43:54
  you right in the face or something probably not i wonder if they have any safeguards for that i'd
• 43:59
  hope so i don't know yeah maybe chain break but would that even help you with that kind of uh
• 44:09
  you know probably not i mean yeah i i don't know that's yeah i don't know that that that would be
• 44:17
  sketchy that would be very sketchy my neighbor just picked up an old chainsaw like 40 plus years
• 44:25
  old he asked me to look at it for him i farmed it out to my dad since he enjoys working on that
• 44:31
  stuff there you go got it all fixed up for him nice nice they made this saw from like 1978 to
• 44:37
  82 or something it's actually pretty decent size it weighs a metric ton though oh yeah
• 44:42
  but what is it do you do you know the manufacturer it's a it it is it's a mcculloch 650 pro mac
• 44:50
  which uh from what i've read they're actually were pretty decent saws that's before they sold
• 44:55
  out to uh huskavarna and became all plastic and yeah so start showing up at walmart and stuff
• 45:00
  yeah yeah yeah if you want to there's like all metal if you want a huskavarna i mean husky makes
• 45:06
  really good saws in my opinion um there's you know the two camps are are essentially steel
• 45:13
  and husky right yeah steel the thing they're they're both amazing saws um i think husk husk
• 45:23
  varna is more geared towards here's the saw and it's already at peak performance whereas steel
• 45:31
  kind of has here's the saw and if you want to modify it you can do these things to it and
• 45:37
  this and it'll make it even better and you know and i don't know i don't know which one's better
• 45:44
  which one's worse i always kind of used huskies myself and um always had a good you know time
• 45:52
  with them so it's just what i've stuck with but they're you know when you get into their
• 45:56
  better saws you go to walmart and get a husqvarna you're getting basically the riobe of
• 46:03
  of you know tools right yeah um but you know like you get into the rancher the ranch series
• 46:12
  of their chainsaws and they're they're they're the real deal man there's no question about it
• 46:18
  i've got many trees down here with those with that saw i've got two of them actually smaller
• 46:24
  one for limbing and stuff and and the ranch uh model for the big boys yeah yeah there's
• 46:32
  older saw it's pretty decent size comes with like a 20 inch bar so it's not you know pretty decent
• 46:38
  oh yeah yeah little size one no i remember the the manufacturer i believe when we were when i was
• 46:45
  living in northern california uh on the hog farm we actually cut wood part of what we did uh you
• 46:54
  know for our own heating fuel right it was cut wood and stack up and we do between four and eight
• 47:00
  cords every every year um and then we'd do more that we sold and you know we had a couple neighbors
• 47:07
  one one couple that lived i think it was one or two properties south of us or down the road from us
• 47:17
  um they uh you know we're elderly so we would bring them firewood as well um yeah but yeah
• 47:25
  McCullough was one of the ones that one of the older dudes up there had.
• 47:32
  This thing actually has a decompression lever on it, if that tells you anything.
• 47:36
  Wow.
• 47:38
  That's insane.
• 47:40
  Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's a pretty awesome find, man.
• 47:46
  I haven't seen it.
• 47:47
  You said it's all done, ready to go, so I haven't checked it out yet.
• 47:52
  Old tools are pretty cool.
• 47:54
  Pretty cool.
• 47:55
  you know some of them you look at and you just go i don't understand you know like like broad fork
• 48:02
  when i learned about the broad fork i was like this thing is really cool but if you saw one
• 48:09
  sitting there in a garden center you'd look at it and be like what is that thing for
• 48:15
  poking holes in the ground or something you know what i mean it's just what kind of what it looks
• 48:21
  like it happens to be the absolute best implement in the world for reducing and uh eliminating
• 48:35
  compaction soil compaction without destroying the soil biome
• 48:40
  geeky nerdy stuff you have to put a picture of one up for people so they know what you're
• 48:47
  talking about oh i could do that i know how i have one i can take a picture of you i have two
• 48:54
  of them here you go your personal broad fork yeah i love that thing i really do if you if you've got
• 49:02
  clay soil and you don't have a broad fork you're doing it wrong sorry you just are it's it's uh
• 49:09
  it's amazing it really is it's not we really don't have a use for one here is it no we you
• 49:15
  I can't imagine sand compacting that bad.
• 49:19
  No.
• 49:22
  That clay, though, that does get packed down pretty good.
• 49:25
  Oh, it does.
• 49:26
  I mean, it's, you know, we were talking about this the other day, right?
• 49:31
  We've talked about it a number of times.
• 49:33
  There's a hole, the LGDs, Livestock Guardian Dogs, Great Pyrenees,
• 49:41
  they dig holes sometimes to lay down in cool dirt, right?
• 49:45
  Well, there's a hole and it rained and like three days later, the hole is still full of water.
• 49:51
  That's how compact that clay is.
• 49:54
  It just, and so if you try and plant in it, you're going to get stunted, cruddy little tiny plants that just can't, they want to, they're trying, but you know, that clay is too hard for their roots to really, you know, get into and get nutrients from.
• 50:15
  Like a little swimming pool.
• 50:17
  Yeah, essentially.
• 50:19
  You get over-watering problems with clay really easily because it literally will just soak up all the water and just hold it.
• 50:28
  That hole right there is just sitting there leaching water.
• 50:32
  All the clay, probably two feet around the whole thing, is wet at this point.
• 50:37
  And it'll stay wet until it leaches off all that water.
• 50:41
  speaking of big holes we were talking about last time did did you make any determinations on the
• 50:47
  renting any equipment to dig your goose pond yeah i need i need to get the right liner because of
• 50:54
  where we're still looking for the line where we're going to put it it's kind of a interesting
• 50:58
  little spot um and uh either that or i need to rethink where i'm going to put it and i don't know
• 51:04
  that I have anywhere else that I with the only other option is to clear trees and that's not
• 51:15
  I don't I don't want to do that I don't want to clear a bunch of trees out
• 51:21
  because where we have area that we could do this there's power lines so I can't do that
• 51:29
  and then on the other side where we can do it
• 51:33
  it's just kind of a
• 51:35
  the way it's shaped and everything
• 51:37
  it needs to not be
• 51:39
  wider than
• 51:40
  so much
• 51:42
  and it has to
• 51:43
  no longer than
• 51:45
  so just kind of have to get everything
• 51:48
  the right size
• 51:51
  the other option is do a pond liner
• 51:53
  but I've been kind of
• 51:56
  looking into those
• 51:56
  and you know what I mean?
• 52:00
  Like a, like a, it's like a tarp.
• 52:03
  You know what I'm talking about?
• 52:05
  Yeah, one of those.
• 52:06
  But some mixed results, I think, with those.
• 52:12
  Okay.
• 52:12
  Is that going to be what I really want to do?
• 52:15
  And, you know, also, I don't know.
• 52:20
  So not yet.
• 52:21
  You figure it out.
• 52:22
  Yeah, I need to get one put in.
• 52:23
  I just, yeah.
• 52:26
  The perfect spot would be over by our feed shed
• 52:29
  because there's plenty of room there.
• 52:31
  I can get any pond liner and just dump it in there.
• 52:36
  But there are five six-foot-long ground poles in a, you know, two, three, four, and one in the center, all tied together that feed up to the electric fence right there.
• 52:50
  So I can't dig all that out.
• 52:55
  Or the electric fence won't pop things.
• 52:58
  I kind of want it to do that.
• 52:59
  I don't mean to change the subject, but speaking of ground poles, my mother-in-law got me a gift.
• 53:04
  And maybe I get your opinion on this thing.
• 53:07
  It's a grounding mat.
• 53:09
  Have you ever heard of that?
• 53:12
  So it's like a little floor mat that you put on the ground and you plug the...
• 53:16
  It's got a wire that goes to your outlet.
• 53:18
  The plug is just in the grounding plug.
• 53:22
  And it's...
• 53:22
  I don't know.
• 53:23
  You're supposed to put your bare feet on it and it grounds you out, I guess.
• 53:27
  you just put your bare feet on or you can go outside yeah no i get it ground this is for when
• 53:34
  you're not outside oh okay okay i mean yeah i mean yeah hey walk barefoot outside you know
• 53:45
  and you get the exact it's i did i hear you i think it's a great there's like sandsburgs outside
• 53:54
  and ants and sticks and stuff.
• 53:59
  Yeah, true, true.
• 54:03
  There is outside.
• 54:04
  You're not buying it.
• 54:05
  I see you.
• 54:06
  There is outside, outside.
• 54:10
  I don't do the beach, so that's pretty much out of the question.
• 54:16
  No, I'm going to try it.
• 54:17
  I'll see if it works.
• 54:18
  I have it under my desk right now.
• 54:20
  Barefoot?
• 54:21
  Are you using it?
• 54:22
  Yeah, I'm barefoot.
• 54:24
  the horror the horror no i i like to go barefoot but like my foot hurts yeah the metatarsalgia my
• 54:35
  uh the ball of my foot has been hurting for about a month now i'm just slowly slowly healing it's
• 54:41
  getting a little bit better but yeah still working on it yeah no those things that that kind of stuff
• 54:46
  i i've had stone bruises before which is apparently the same or extremely similar to what you're you're
• 54:53
  doing and they do they take forever forever to heal i had one on my heel which was terrible
• 55:01
  terrible yeah yeah but you know right now i've got one or something going on on my left
• 55:08
  ball of my foot but birkenstocks ugly terrible terribly ugly hideous freaking shoe but
• 55:22
  But, dude, I don't feel it when I'm wearing them.
• 55:27
  So, yeah.
• 55:27
  That's good.
• 55:28
  Yeah.
• 55:29
  It's just I have to look like this.
• 55:33
  Yeah.
• 55:35
  My wife got me some inserts for my sneakers that seem to be helping when I go out.
• 55:40
  Yeah.
• 55:40
  Some insole type stuff.
• 55:43
  That's the good stuff, too.
• 55:45
  Yeah.
• 55:45
  Anything that just increases that cushion and that comfort is huge.
• 55:50
  Because it really is.
• 55:51
  It's terrible going through that.
• 55:54
  It really is.
• 55:55
  Yeah.
• 55:56
  The neighbor's been nice enough to let us use this hot tub.
• 55:59
  They've been out of town.
• 56:00
  He's like, come on over, try it out.
• 56:01
  So I've been going over there, putting like the jet on my foot.
• 56:04
  Seems to be helping too.
• 56:06
  Nice.
• 56:06
  Nice.
• 56:07
  That's awesome.
• 56:08
  Yeah.
• 56:08
  Hot tub.
• 56:09
  We need to.
• 56:10
  Ours sprung a leak.
• 56:13
  Oh, okay.
• 56:13
  Yeah.
• 56:14
  And nobody anywhere near us services our hot tub.
• 56:19
  manufacturer so we could find someone generically and they could do best effort
• 56:26
  yeah which it's in the plumbing underneath it it's leaking yeah yeah that shouldn't be too
• 56:33
  terrible to i think that's where it is i don't know for sure we'll see there's not too much to
• 56:40
  it you got a control board you get your pump you get your heating element yeah that's about it so
• 56:46
  We're right now kind of considering do we get it fixed and keep it and see if we can't get it limping along for a number of years more?
• 56:57
  Or do we go to a local shop and get a hot tub and have them come put it in and do all that?
• 57:03
  And then we know we have a local shop that can service it and do all that kind of stuff.
• 57:09
  I'm kind of on the fence of the latter, not because I certainly don't want to spend the money.
• 57:15
  But at the same time, this thing has been a nightmare for us.
• 57:18
  Any problem we have with it, it's like a week's long adventure trying to find someone to actually come and take a look at it.
• 57:27
  Yeah.
• 57:27
  How old is it?
• 57:29
  Gosh.
• 57:32
  12, 14 years.
• 57:35
  Okay.
• 57:36
  Yeah.
• 57:37
  It's got a little bit of age, huh?
• 57:38
  Yeah.
• 57:38
  And it's been moved twice.
• 57:39
  So.
• 57:41
  And I think moving puts extra stress on them.
• 57:45
  Probably.
• 57:47
  So, you know, bouncing down the road.
• 57:50
  Because when it shows up, it's packed, right?
• 57:53
  I mean, it's in, you know, kind of, you know, packed.
• 57:58
  The internals are kind of, there's foam in there to keep everything from rattling.
• 58:03
  When you move this thing, none of that occurs.
• 58:05
  It's just, it's on the frame or a trailer rattling down the road.
• 58:09
  You know, it's not even in a, you know, a moving van that has suspension.
• 58:13
  It's on a trailer, you know?
• 58:16
  Right.
• 58:18
  That's, I think maybe, I don't know.
• 58:22
  I don't know what happened, but no working now.
• 58:26
  You put water in it, and the next day you come,
• 58:28
  and it's like, you know, two feet below the line.
• 58:33
  That's the only issue with it, though?
• 58:35
  Is it leaking water?
• 58:36
  I think so.
• 58:38
  I think so.
• 58:39
  It still heats.
• 58:40
  It still heats.
• 58:41
  It's, you know, the jets mostly still work.
• 58:43
  We've got one jet that's not being cooperative, doesn't want to work fully.
• 58:52
  It works, just doesn't want to work fully.
• 58:57
  But I guess this is all stuff that just occurs over time with hot tubs.
• 59:03
  Yeah, I don't have too much experience with it, but the neighbor, he's had his for a while.
• 59:08
  with uh he's had to do a little bit of work through it but i think he had to change the
• 59:13
  heating element in there you know after after about the same amount of time yeah we got this
• 59:19
  one at costco is the thing and and while that was a great it's it's a great hot tub it's their
• 59:25
  aqua terra or whatever well it's a great hot tub um it's specifically made for costco
• 59:34
  Costco doesn't serve as hot tubs
• 59:38
  and the local people around us
• 59:41
  like I even called into Charlotte
• 59:43
  like I'll pay you extra whatever I
• 59:46
  can't find anyone that will
• 59:49
  you know work on them just just they just don't
• 59:52
  we don't carry them we don't have parts for them we don't
• 59:55
  we don't work with them so
• 59:58
  interesting yeah yeah
• 1:00:00
  it's kind of like those you know import car places
• 1:00:03
  and you go drive up there in the Ford and they're like, yeah, we can't work on that.
• 1:00:08
  Yeah.
• 1:00:09
  So using the neighbors, we were actually looking at like a marketplace
• 1:00:13
  and there's always somebody giving away a free jacuzzi on there or a free hot tub.
• 1:00:19
  And there's like really only a couple of things that go wrong with them,
• 1:00:23
  either, you know, like the pump motor or the heating element or the control board.
• 1:00:27
  Yeah.
• 1:00:28
  That's, you know.
• 1:00:29
  So we were considering getting one.
• 1:00:31
  And if you're, you know, like you, I don't know.
• 1:00:36
  I think they're great.
• 1:00:37
  I really do.
• 1:00:38
  But they're also, you know, they're, they require maintenance and, you know, constant care and stuff like that.
• 1:00:45
  Right.
• 1:00:45
  They're, they're the chemical balance in a hot tub, in my opinion, is way more difficult to keep in line.
• 1:00:52
  Way more difficult.
• 1:00:55
  So, yeah, that's one of the things we, we also wouldn't mind having a salt one.
• 1:01:01
  salt water hot tub that would be yeah because the chlorine the hot tub i think that's a little bit
• 1:01:07
  harder on the components though well you have to get a salt based system one that's designed for
• 1:01:15
  it's like our old pool we put a salt cell on it because you can just do that with your pool
• 1:01:19
  and then next thing you know like all the metal components that are up around the rim the the
• 1:01:24
  cap on the top of the pool
• 1:01:28
  because it's an above ground pool.
• 1:01:31
  All that stuff's corroding.
• 1:01:33
  We're like, hey.
• 1:01:35
  And they're like, yeah, well, this is not
• 1:01:36
  a saltwater pool.
• 1:01:39
  And so, you know,
• 1:01:41
  it's one of those types of things.
• 1:01:42
  I can itch.
• 1:01:49
  Backscratcher.
• 1:01:50
  Yeah, right there.
• 1:01:53
  You don't have one.
• 1:01:54
  You don't have one of these?
• 1:01:58
  That does not work anywhere near as good as one of these does.
• 1:02:02
  Yes, it does, because you have to file a nice bevel on the teeth.
• 1:02:07
  They don't come like that, but you have to make them like that.
• 1:02:12
  Yeah.
• 1:02:12
  No, I actually had...
• 1:02:14
  Maybe I'll get you one.
• 1:02:15
  I actually had a landscape rake, like a little garden tool landscape rake that just had the metal wire, basically.
• 1:02:24
  coming over i was using that my wife's like doesn't that tear your back up i'm like oh it
• 1:02:31
  feels so great no it doesn't like why why is there blood all over the back of your shirt
• 1:02:35
  what are you doing feels good i'm sure i mean i'm a bear
• 1:02:43
  living living where people stuccoed their houses just with a t-shirt on you just put your back up
• 1:02:53
  against stucco and then just grind back and forth on it oh you need you need some oak trees we got them yeah i tried it yeah hickory works really well all right you know all the tricks yeah yeah man when the back is going for that itchy time
• 1:03:11
  it's just i gotta gotta get that taken care of you know it's uncomfortable having an itch that
• 1:03:19
  you cannot reach like you know or you like you get your little bit more flexible arm back up in
• 1:03:26
  there and you're like that close just not quite there gotta get it i like it i got another one
• 1:03:35
  around here like it's on a telescoping it's almost like an old antenna thing you know it pulls out
• 1:03:41
  yeah i've had to do a little work on that one i've had a number of them and some of them have
• 1:03:45
  been pretty good but honestly just the standard old fork it's a rigid uh it gives me that extra
• 1:03:52
  reach and the tines are in my opinion perfect because i can just dig in and i mean dig in
• 1:03:59
  like i'll yeah i like to have my back scratched like you know not not in that way just when i
• 1:04:08
  have an itchy area on my back i like to really get in there and scratch that itch does your wife get
• 1:04:17
  like fingernails or no yeah she did a long nail thing she'll scratch she she's really good about
• 1:04:22
  that she's very she's an amazing woman i can't say enough good things about her um and she'll
• 1:04:29
  get in there and scratch and i'm like harder harder and she's like ah she'll scratch and
• 1:04:33
  she's like i can't anymore it hurts like okay i think it's already bleeding you're still
• 1:04:40
  harder just just don't mind the wet spots just keep going nice
• 1:04:46
  i nice yeah i don't know it's just i've always been like that i've always
• 1:04:52
  like been pretty rough on my back scratching
• 1:04:56
  just i don't know i like it oh you know what we never did what's that we didn't
• 1:05:07
  like do an intro at all yeah we said hi hi this is that's that's this guy and i'm that guy that guy
• 1:05:18
  this guy that's right too late now that ship has already sailed but hopefully you you know what
• 1:05:27
  you're watching at this point you're kind of clued in if not well we we just boffed this one i'm just
• 1:05:32
  i'm probably just gonna let it ride too i'm just in fact i am i'm just gonna let it i would we
• 1:05:37
  could do it right now and i could like put it over there but i don't want to i don't feel like it
• 1:05:42
  yeah i've actually gotten the editing workflow has gotten pretty good pretty good nice yeah yeah
• 1:05:50
  i knew you could do it yeah yeah it's okay there's some minor annoyances i gotta figure out but
• 1:05:58
  yeah for the most part it's good yeah pull down the files throw the wave files into
• 1:06:05
  iZotope or run it through whatever needs to happen to clean up the audio and get the levels right
• 1:06:12
  then save that and open premiere and blah blah blah blah blah blah yeah
• 1:06:17
  stupid even stupid things like having a little template for premiere like for each project i
• 1:06:27
  open each one of these is a new project and so for each project i open i was finding myself like
• 1:06:34
  oh i need a folder for these like images that i'm putting in there because i want all the material
• 1:06:39
  right uh for the raw milk one the slide where the the images for that all that uh you know any
• 1:06:47
  animations or videos that go into you know all this stuff but something as stupid and simple
• 1:06:54
  as creating a folder that has all the stuff in it that you just copy paste and rename
• 1:07:01
  huge
• 1:07:03
  it's
• 1:07:06
  it sounds silly but you know
• 1:07:08
  it really does just
• 1:07:10
  these I guess what I'm trying to say
• 1:07:12
  is it's these types of things
• 1:07:14
  that are making a bigger difference
• 1:07:16
  for me now than
• 1:07:18
  anything else I've learned enough
• 1:07:20
  about editing to become
• 1:07:22
  dangerous I guess
• 1:07:23
  and
• 1:07:25
  half
• 1:07:28
  halfway to amateur level
• 1:07:30
  or something, maybe?
• 1:07:32
  Halfway. I'm almost there.
• 1:07:35
  I know what luffs are
• 1:07:36
  now.
• 1:07:38
  Mmm.
• 1:07:40
  Gotta get your editor badge pretty soon.
• 1:07:43
  Gotta get your luffs.
• 1:07:44
  Luffs correct.
• 1:07:45
  Not luff balloons.
• 1:07:47
  I have no idea what that is.
• 1:07:49
  Yeah, it's something about noise.
• 1:07:53
  I don't remember what it stands for anymore.
• 1:07:55
  I can't remember.
• 1:07:57
  But I know I have to do it.
• 1:07:59
  If I don't do it, then the audio
• 1:08:00
  comes across youtube in in varying levels of loudness yeah it's been sounding pretty good to
• 1:08:10
  me i think so it's pretty consistent yeah yeah some of the earlier ones weren't quite as good
• 1:08:16
  but the more recent ones much better no and a lot of that had to do with lefts
• 1:08:21
  okay you know and i literally run every single piece of audio we have through a d click as well
• 1:08:30
  yeah they're not noticeable
• 1:08:34
  so if you listen to it you don't really hear clicks right you're just not hearing them um
• 1:08:42
  but if you then run this against it and then listen to the audio again you're like oh that
• 1:08:48
  that was helpful.
• 1:08:50
  It takes out clicks that you don't
• 1:08:52
  really hear, I guess, or
• 1:08:54
  subconsciously they're there
• 1:08:56
  but you're not recognizing them, I think.
• 1:08:58
  It's a pretty good tool.
• 1:09:00
  Yeah.
• 1:09:02
  Getting the gain right.
• 1:09:04
  That's another big one.
• 1:09:07
  Gotta make sure
• 1:09:08
  all the gains.
• 1:09:11
  Man.
• 1:09:13
  I don't know what the hell I'm doing
• 1:09:14
  but I wing it pretty good, I guess.
• 1:09:18
  Well, if you, you know, you can fake it till you make it.
• 1:09:22
  I guess.
• 1:09:24
  I guess.
• 1:09:25
  I got a lot of faking it to do then.
• 1:09:27
  I don't think we made it.
• 1:09:29
  I think you do quite a good job.
• 1:09:33
  I have no complaints.
• 1:09:34
  So what do you think?
• 1:09:36
  Should we, like, I'm thinking our next one will be season two.
• 1:09:40
  Everything so far has been season one.
• 1:09:43
  And we, yesterday released.
• 1:09:47
  So it's Saturday, December 27th right now.
• 1:09:52
  A little after 10 a.m.
• 1:09:54
  But yesterday we released our 35th long form episode.
• 1:10:01
  This one.
• 1:10:02
  Wow, that's a lot.
• 1:10:03
  This one.
• 1:10:05
  But here's the thing.
• 1:10:06
  Do we start season two with our next one?
• 1:10:12
  I think probably.
• 1:10:13
  Yeah, because this is still recorded inside of 2025.
• 1:10:17
  so i think i think you're right yeah so hey stay tuned folks season two of space tomatoes podcast
• 1:10:25
  is coming your way subscribe usually the way it works is by like season three or four the writers
• 1:10:32
  start getting lazy and you know like the content starts slipping and viewership falls off to
• 1:10:37
  nothing but you know what we get we don't have that problem there are no writers so we don't
• 1:10:44
  have to worry about them getting stale the writers don't exist yeah so we can go we're gonna we're
• 1:10:52
  gonna surpass friends we'll be like season 18 space tomatoes get my walker in here
• 1:11:02
  people oh we're gonna hear about the uh government corruption again or uh
• 1:11:07
  one of the other things.
• 1:11:10
  If they would stop, we could stop talking about it.
• 1:11:14
  That's true.
• 1:11:16
  Oh, my goodness.
• 1:11:16
  We would.
• 1:11:20
  Oh, well.
• 1:11:21
  I see the curtain moving.
• 1:11:23
  Good morning.
• 1:11:26
  Good morning.
• 1:11:29
  Okay.
• 1:11:30
  Okay.
• 1:11:36
  All right.
• 1:11:37
  nice everyone's up now great i think there's your cue it probably is i mean it's you know
• 1:11:45
  a little over an hour what were we just talking about before like that season two oh yeah season
• 1:11:53
  two yeah oh yeah oh yeah we were gonna be on season 18 like friends but better
• 1:11:59
  how many seasons did that show go you know i don't know like 10 no i think it's way longer
• 1:12:07
  than that wasn't it i don't know i can look it up i can look it up and tell you oh it is 10 seasons
• 1:12:16
  okay yeah 236 episodes wow wow i thought it was longer than that it is like 201 more we can be
• 1:12:25
  better what's what's the uh what's the uh what's the longest running tv series
• 1:12:33
  probably like one of those old soap operas from the 80s there how many say songs
• 1:12:39
  yeah you're probably right up general hospital i was just gonna say general hospital is probably
• 1:12:50
  like general hospital because that stuff was like a big deal when i was a little kid
• 1:12:55
  wow 18,000 episodes dude that's a lot that's commitment right there it is
• 1:13:05
  i don't know that we're going to get to 18,000 episodes but we'll give it a try
• 1:13:12
  yeah maybe we could do like um maybe you can catch amnesia next season
• 1:13:19
  and you can be replaced by your identical cousin,
• 1:13:24
  Havoc, with a C.
• 1:13:26
  No.
• 1:13:28
  That's like how those soap operas run.
• 1:13:32
  Right.
• 1:13:34
  Yeah, so, you know, 18,000 episodes at one a week,
• 1:13:38
  that's only 2,571 weeks.
• 1:13:42
  That's it?
• 1:13:42
  Yeah.
• 1:13:44
  We're like almost there.
• 1:13:46
  It's only 49.4 years.
• 1:13:47
  nice do that that's easy i don't think i'll be here for that
• 1:13:52
  ah ah don sell yourself short triple digits baby triple digits nice i would be 100 years old
• 1:14:06
  i don't think that's gonna happen i'm just just throwing one out there
• 1:14:13
  oh you'll be probably pretty good at editing by then though maybe i would hope maybe
• 1:14:23
  Maybe.
• 1:14:24
  If I could still, like...
• 1:14:26
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:14:28
  What will computers look like in 49 years?
• 1:14:33
  Hmm.
• 1:14:34
  Hmm.
• 1:14:35
  They're smaller.
• 1:14:37
  Will they, though?
• 1:14:39
  I mean, look at phones.
• 1:14:40
  We went micro with phones, and now they're big, giant things.
• 1:14:45
  Yeah, that's true.
• 1:14:48
  We've tried the monitor all in one thing.
• 1:14:51
  nobody seemed to like that too much why not yeah
• 1:14:56
  you can't really put the power yeah you got a cooling issue so you're kind of limited to laptop
• 1:15:04
  type performance and stuff you know she's got a big thick monitor we go back to crt sized monitors
• 1:15:11
  i think we should the whole computer's in the back
• 1:15:14
  i think we should go back to crts then we can use all the old uh the light gun games from
• 1:15:22
  nintendo because you can't play them on a new tv right yeah yeah everybody everybody misses
• 1:15:29
  playing duck hunt i'm sure well we didn't did it work yeah i guess no did it didn't work on the tv
• 1:15:36
  it was just the the the game console no you had to have it on the tv you should well i know but
• 1:15:44
  I wouldn't see why that wouldn't work on a flat screen because the gaming console.
• 1:15:47
  It doesn't work.
• 1:15:48
  You literally move your cursor on the, oh, probably different format is why.
• 1:15:55
  It won't work.
• 1:15:56
  Really?
• 1:15:57
  You tried Duck Hunter?
• 1:16:00
  Duck Hunt?
• 1:16:01
  Duck Hunt.
• 1:16:02
  That.
• 1:16:02
  Whatever.
• 1:16:03
  You know.
• 1:16:03
  Yeah.
• 1:16:04
  Yeah, no, it won't work.
• 1:16:05
  That sucks.
• 1:16:06
  It only work on a CRT.
• 1:16:08
  That's terrible.
• 1:16:09
  No LEDs.
• 1:16:10
  I saw, we were talking about this on the last episode.
• 1:16:13
  the Intellivision.
• 1:16:15
  That's what it was.
• 1:16:16
  I saw a video that came out
• 1:16:19
  and someone has like,
• 1:16:21
  I don't know if it's every console,
• 1:16:23
  but there's a bunch
• 1:16:24
  that I haven't even heard of in there.
• 1:16:26
  And I'll have to send it to you.
• 1:16:29
  It's pretty cool.
• 1:16:30
  I'll put it in our Telegram channel
• 1:16:32
  for those of you
• 1:16:33
  that are on our Telegram channel.
• 1:16:35
  You'll be able to see this video.
• 1:16:37
  It's pretty cool.
• 1:16:38
  Otherwise,
• 1:16:39
  join Telegram.
• 1:16:43
  or don't i'll check it out we'll share i never had an television nintendo was the first one i've
• 1:16:49
  ever had oh yeah no we had intelli i didn't have an in television my friend did he had in television
• 1:16:57
  i had atari and so we would you know depending on which you know what we wanted to do would either be
• 1:17:04
  at our house you know playing the atari or his house playing the in television and doing stuff
• 1:17:10
  like that when we weren't doing you know other fun things like determining that kicking a tennis
• 1:17:18
  ball around or whacking it with a stick was fun but if you soaked it in marine laminating resin
• 1:17:23
  and then lit that on fire it became a lot more fun nice yeah the hoa was not super happy about
• 1:17:32
  that because it is marine laminating resin and while it did burn it also leaves a trail everywhere
• 1:17:41
  that ball goes and the trail doesn't come up does not come up nope was this in california it may have
• 1:17:49
  been probably a felony by now i'm sure i'm sure multiple felonies it's an open flame right off
• 1:17:56
  the bat so that's probably highly illegal yeah the epa violations all that right right
• 1:18:03
  yeah good thing the statute of limitations is up you might be in trouble i'm surprised they still
• 1:18:12
  allow like gas grills and stuff like that
• 1:18:14
  why not do they could have mandated electric grills
• 1:18:20
  from now on if it if you know no no open flame don't give them any ideas they get their own i
• 1:18:28
  mean the booster seat come on i just i still that to me i i how do you literally seriously
• 1:18:36
  take that onto the house floor with a straight face
• 1:18:40
  and give an impassioned plea to protect the children
• 1:18:48
  by making 16-year-olds sit in a booster seat in a vehicle.
• 1:18:55
  How do you do this?
• 1:18:57
  How?
• 1:18:58
  No idea.
• 1:18:58
  How is this even a thing?
• 1:19:01
  Craziness.
• 1:19:07
  Oh, and I saw another thing.
• 1:19:09
  So when we went to Bend, Oregon, the beautiful river that goes through there and they're like, I guess it's a big thing during the, you know, warm months to go and float down the river and do other stuff.
• 1:19:22
  Well, Oregon just passed a new thing.
• 1:19:25
  Apparently anything that floats is now a boat.
• 1:19:28
  An inner tube is a boat.
• 1:19:31
  A bundle of wood that you strap together to make a float out of it.
• 1:19:37
  It's boat, which of course means you have to register your boat.
• 1:19:42
  I float.
• 1:19:43
  Am I a boat?
• 1:19:44
  Most likely.
• 1:19:45
  I don't know.
• 1:19:47
  Is a human just wearing like a flotation device?
• 1:19:49
  Is that a boat as well?
• 1:19:51
  Maybe.
• 1:19:51
  I don't know.
• 1:19:53
  But yeah, so now I guess you have to pay like your $155 annual permit fee for your boat
• 1:19:59
  or whatever registration, get your boat registration on your inner tube.
• 1:20:05
  Interesting.
• 1:20:06
  Yeah.
• 1:20:07
  I wonder if you have to like go through the rules of boating classes and stuff too.
• 1:20:13
  Or is that only for murderized?
• 1:20:17
  I don't know.
• 1:20:18
  Do you need a license to drive a boat?
• 1:20:20
  Um, no, I don't think so.
• 1:20:23
  Well, it depends, right?
• 1:20:25
  If you get into a tonnage, then yes, you have to have a captain's license.
• 1:20:31
  If you have passengers, then yes.
• 1:20:34
  Now, not any passengers, right?
• 1:20:36
  Like I could go get a boat, rent a boat and drive around with, you know, alpaca people on it.
• 1:20:41
  And I don't have to have a license.
• 1:20:43
  Right.
• 1:20:43
  But if I were doing it commercially, I'd have to have a license.
• 1:20:47
  So it depends.
• 1:20:48
  A big boat.
• 1:20:49
  Yes.
• 1:20:50
  Passenger boat that you were doing commercial passengers.
• 1:20:55
  How big is big?
• 1:20:57
  What is it?
• 1:20:59
  I mean, I didn't mean to put you on the spot or anything.
• 1:21:02
  I'm just kind of curious.
• 1:21:03
  yeah i mean even if you're driving one of them big barges you uh still have the potential to
• 1:21:08
  mess well yeah commercial again though you're gonna have to have a license for that yeah oh
• 1:21:14
  okay so it actually isn't the size of the boat but okay
• 1:21:19
  okay so there are some sources that mention a 26 foot threshold but misunderstood the coast
• 1:21:28
  guard does not mandate a license solely based on a boat being 26 feet or longer it's the commercial
• 1:21:34
  use that triggers the requirement for non-commercial use there's no captain's license
• 1:21:39
  license needed so you could have an oil tanker if it was your own private vessel i guess and just
• 1:21:48
  freaking go for it guy that doesn't so it's kind of like like an rv you don't need a special license
• 1:21:55
  to drive an rv even though you got you know like right right it it's like a 60 foot rv with the
• 1:22:01
  use i know 27 foot van pulling behind i think that would still be very terrifying releasing me behind
• 1:22:08
  the you know in the captain's seat of an oil tanker and just like i just if i had you know
• 1:22:16
  whatever fu money like elon musk style money you just go buy a freaking oil tanker and just
• 1:22:22
  get in start riding around in the damn thing no i think that's probably problematic
• 1:22:27
  i think i saw a thing the other day i don't know i don't know if it's true i didn't actually do
• 1:22:31
  the math but it was saying that um if you somehow managed to save like ten thousand dollars a day
• 1:22:37
  from the day that jesus was born elon musk would still have more money than you
• 1:22:43
  yeah i don't know i that's kind of crazy crazy i mean it's it's it's stupid amounts of money
• 1:22:52
  It's just stupid.
• 1:22:53
  You know,
• 1:22:54
  what I don't understand is,
• 1:22:56
  you know,
• 1:22:56
  so all these people are up there and they all want to like save humanity.
• 1:23:04
  So they say,
• 1:23:05
  right.
• 1:23:07
  And they want to do,
• 1:23:08
  you know,
• 1:23:08
  good stuff.
• 1:23:09
  And,
• 1:23:09
  and,
• 1:23:09
  you know,
• 1:23:10
  I'm not saying they don't,
• 1:23:12
  I'm not saying that there's no benefit here,
• 1:23:13
  that they're not bringing something to the table,
• 1:23:15
  that they're not doing stuff.
• 1:23:16
  It's not my,
• 1:23:17
  my statement here,
• 1:23:19
  but with the kind of F you money that you have,
• 1:23:21
  a small portion of that could end homelessness in the United States,
• 1:23:28
  completely end it.
• 1:23:30
  And you'd still be so rich that it wouldn't,
• 1:23:33
  you'd never run out of money.
• 1:23:35
  Never,
• 1:23:35
  ever,
• 1:23:35
  ever.
• 1:23:39
  I don't know if it would end it.
• 1:23:41
  I don't know.
• 1:23:42
  I just don't have that much faith in people that they wouldn't put themselves
• 1:23:48
  right back in that position,
• 1:23:49
  no matter what you did.
• 1:23:50
  And there is that,
• 1:23:50
  But you could actually do something like that and say, hey, here's the social experiment.
• 1:23:55
  Worst case, we've got a lot of affordable housing afterwards.
• 1:23:59
  There's your affordable housing.
• 1:24:02
  You know what I mean?
• 1:24:03
  You could literally do that.
• 1:24:05
  It is within the realm of possibility to do.
• 1:24:10
  Why not?
• 1:24:11
  I just saw this thing going around Facebook.
• 1:24:14
  I guess this younger guy that was on some Disney channel show back a few years ago.
• 1:24:20
  And now he's homeless and on drugs.
• 1:24:23
  And, you know, they kind of latched on to him because, you know, he's famous back in the day or something.
• 1:24:27
  And these people set him up in a hotel room and stuff, you know, try to get him help.
• 1:24:33
  And he just totally thrashed the hotel room and destroyed it.
• 1:24:38
  And, you know, he's back in the same position that he was at before that.
• 1:24:42
  Yeah, there's no question there's some of it.
• 1:24:44
  Some of it will be a failure.
• 1:24:45
  But there also no question you could eradicate it for at least a period of time It may be short term And at which point the people that end up abandoning essentially what they were given uh again you got affordable housing Some percentage
• 1:25:03
  of them will take off and be very happy. There's probably a larger percentage of those that will
• 1:25:10
  make it if they get that help pretty soon after that event happens for them.
• 1:25:18
  that's that's true and the longer you're in that situation yeah the worse it's going to get
• 1:25:24
  you know yeah freaking that is being alone right there and i mean alone
• 1:25:32
  you know so you think about that you know we all know that being alone being you know solo
• 1:25:43
  uh, and not for everyone, but for a lot of people is damaging psychologically, very damaging.
• 1:25:50
  And so you take someone that's, that's alone, destitute, cold, wondering where am I going to
• 1:25:56
  sleep? And I'm, am I going to get accosted or arrested or whatever the case may be? And it's
• 1:26:02
  cold out and you know, what am I doing? And I'm alone. And that despair comes in and you know,
• 1:26:11
  It just doesn't, you know, it's real easy to sit here and armchair quarterback this stuff.
• 1:26:16
  You know, and everyone's like, well, just get a job.
• 1:26:19
  Again, no home.
• 1:26:25
  Find me a job application that does not have an address field in it.
• 1:26:30
  Or find an employer that says, I don't really care about your home address.
• 1:26:34
  We're not going to mail you a paycheck.
• 1:26:36
  We don't really care if you have an address.
• 1:26:39
  They have to have that.
• 1:26:41
  well if you're homeless what's your address you so get a job yes doing what a steady stable job
• 1:26:53
  with steady stable income go find one without a home address now you know you'll get day jobs
• 1:27:02
  you'll get stuff like that but it's not steady it's not consistent and it won't get you out of
• 1:27:07
  that mess. It'll, it'll give you some reprieve short term, but likely we'll end up back in the
• 1:27:16
  same situation with that despair hitting again. And then your morale, your, your, you know,
• 1:27:22
  your confidence in your ability to make that change starts to become eroded. You know,
• 1:27:28
  if you fail enough times, eventually you kind of start getting that psychological message that
• 1:27:32
  I can't do this.
• 1:27:36
  You know, so it's a problem.
• 1:27:38
  It is.
• 1:27:39
  And, you know, making it illegal is not the solution.
• 1:27:42
  I mean, how does that even work?
• 1:27:46
  Like, you just screw you.
• 1:27:50
  Like, come on, man.
• 1:27:52
  Seriously.
• 1:27:54
  Yeah, that's a tough one.
• 1:27:55
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:27:57
  Lots of facets to that one, for sure.
• 1:27:59
  Well, there is.
• 1:28:00
  And certainly there are mental health issues.
• 1:28:03
  There are addiction issues.
• 1:28:04
  But that's not all of it.
• 1:28:07
  Right.
• 1:28:07
  That's the stuff you see.
• 1:28:08
  That's the stuff that's like the stuff we've talked about.
• 1:28:12
  Right.
• 1:28:12
  You put 10 people in the room with varying political ideologies and say, hey, we're going to hang out for a weekend and we're going to go do stuff and we're going to eat food and we're going to, you know, whatever.
• 1:28:25
  They're almost.
• 1:28:26
  it's unlikely you're not going to have a good time.
• 1:28:31
  You put those same 10 people in a room and start talking about their,
• 1:28:35
  you know,
• 1:28:35
  political ideology or,
• 1:28:38
  you know,
• 1:28:38
  stuff like this.
• 1:28:39
  And next thing you know,
• 1:28:40
  a bunch of them just freaking hate each other right off the bat.
• 1:28:44
  Whereas they would have had a great time.
• 1:28:46
  Just don't bring that up,
• 1:28:48
  you know?
• 1:28:49
  So it's,
• 1:28:51
  it's just a,
• 1:28:52
  it's a thing it's a thing it is it isn't it is a thing you know there's there's there's a lot of
• 1:29:05
  division in our society right and you got the the newest issue of division where you know everyone's
• 1:29:13
  mad at the boomers right as if they sat there and you know they had no clue any more than you have a
• 1:29:21
  clue that what you're doing as a 20 something year old today will impact someone when you're 65 75
• 1:29:28
  you have no freaking clue you're certainly not trying to do that right but whatever happens
• 1:29:36
  so now we've got the the generational divide as well and it's like it's just it's just a constant
• 1:29:43
  division thing constant stop looking at the differences look you know okay boomer
• 1:29:51
  now i hear where you're going from yeah look look at the similarities look at the look at
• 1:29:59
  the goodness look at the things that are are important you know um yeah yeah it's all right
• 1:30:07
  so you guys got going on today i don't really i don't really even understand that whole okay

  Yeah, she kind of paused.
• 1:30:41
  So she kind of looks interesting because she's got areas that have shedded and areas that have not.
• 1:30:47
  And it's a stark contrast.
• 1:30:49
  It looks like she's been shaved in certain areas.
• 1:30:52
  Not shaved like shaved, but like a haircut.
• 1:30:57

• 1:32:30
  Pyrenees too because that right there
• 1:32:33

• 1:32:34
  It looks like a
• 1:32:36
  bunch of snow comes
• 1:32:39
  out of the barn.
• 1:32:40
  Huge amounts of white Pyrenees
• 1:32:43
  fur. We'll actually take that
• 1:32:44
  at times
• 1:32:46
  and scatter it around the
• 1:32:49
  edges of the property as well
• 1:32:51
  after brushing.
• 1:32:52
  Keep treasured its way.
• 1:32:56

• 1:33:10
  and after hearing it from you guys
• 1:33:13
  and then also Yukon saying the same thing
• 1:33:16
  and then we started looking at it
• 1:33:18
  and people were like
• 1:33:19
  yeah this is the way to de-shed your dog
• 1:33:22
  don't use shedding rakes
• 1:33:24
  we stopped using those a long time ago
• 1:33:26
  because they break the hair
• 1:33:29
  um but you know we just use like a standard pen brush basically and that usually just gets a lot
• 1:33:36
  of it off but you know i'd rather be able to get the whole thing off yeah i mean i literally oh they
• 1:33:43
  work they work fantastic we did it about once a week yeah i literally yesterday pulled off a
• 1:33:49
  ball of fur this big just in like this much of an area on that dog i was just
• 1:33:55
