Queer Eye. Oh my God, you did not just take
0:03
mine. That's that's good.
0:09
I still think their name is better.
0:15
The Backstreet Boys. The what?
0:18
Backstreet Boys. Oh my God, I thought you said
0:20
something. Else or backstairs boys.
0:23
Backdoor boys. That's absolute Jesus.
0:43
Welcome back guys. I'm keeping that in.
0:45
I'm keeping that in. Thanks.
0:47
Good, this is Thanks Hated at podcast episode 20.
0:51
We've already done 20 episodes, which is unbelievable.
0:55
I literally don't believe it. I think you're trolling me.
0:58
What more on it's on episode 17 and I'm like yeah, anyway, so
1:05
we're joined today by myself, Justin, our Co host Ryan and our
1:10
Co host Amber. We are, I would just say hosts,
1:14
not even Co host. Like, how do you even say that
1:17
you know? Yeah, I.
1:19
Mean how you just did. I don't I don't like Co host
1:21
though, like we're not Co host. We are the host like so we are
1:27
in the new studio literally again.
1:34
So this is I think this is the fourth studio we've had.
1:36
We were in the living room for the first couple ones.
1:38
We were in your studio for the next couple ones.
1:41
We were in our first bedroom studio here it for the next few
1:46
ones. And now we're in the actual like
1:49
arts and crafts studio, like an actual studio in a home, like to
1:53
make art. So here we are finally, maybe
1:59
hopefully settled in for a couple more episodes.
2:02
I don't want to move this set up again.
2:04
It's such a pain. Yeah, it really.
2:07
Is so with that said, I was telling Ryan we're back here in
2:12
the back half of the house in the addition in an actual studio
2:17
for her Amber's candle making my candle business Pleiades
2:22
apothecary and it's the place where she makes the candles.
2:27
Now she's finally got enough room to do that because you
2:31
would be surprised what an 8 oz candle needs to be made.
2:35
It's kind of ridiculous like this, the square footage needed
2:39
to make a candle that fits in the palm of your hand.
2:43
It's nuts. So I was telling him, we've got
2:48
the actual candle dressing area to my left camera, right.
2:53
We've got our fireplace in the middle for our Fireside podcast.
2:57
I don't know if you saw that right.
2:59
I did. I did.
3:00
Because it is ice cold in here, we are on the backside.
3:06
Yeah, I'm glad that you guys took it home with you because it
3:09
was sitting in my house for a while.
3:13
So you guys, when you came down for that Christmas podcast, you
3:18
guys took it back, which I'm glad because you need it.
3:23
So what's funny is Mom has the exact same thing.
3:26
Exactly the same thing. The same thing and we've been
3:30
using that for like 3 months while it was cold and I was like
3:33
oh ours, I found it I'm going to bring that right back with me
3:38
because it is necessary dude. We've got 21 indirect and one
3:44
direct heater in the addition living room where we normally
3:49
stay. It's got the couch and the TV
3:50
and all the systems and all that on the other side of this wall
3:54
that we're actually pointed at talking into.
3:57
But the whole back side of the house doesn't have any central
4:01
air. So when it's cold, it is 20°.
4:04
In this bedroom, it is. It is so cold.
4:09
So in the summer, it's great. There's no problem.
4:12
You open the windows and there's a great draft and then a lot of
4:15
shade because the sun is on the other side.
4:16
Long story short, in the cold, it is fucking cold, man.
4:21
So with that said, I did yeah. So I did a show yesterday and I
4:35
had to tap out. It's the first time I've ever
4:37
tapped out of a show where I actually told the boss, hey, not
4:42
like, hey, can I leave because it's dead.
4:45
It I told him, hey, I'm leaving, I'm leaving right now.
4:48
I'm already in the car. It was so cold that like in the
4:53
movies where you see someone's breath the entire time they're
4:57
talking and it looks like it looks like a vape cloud.
5:02
It's that cold, dude. It was it was Wisconsin deer
5:06
season cold. Yeah, it.
5:08
It was raining. Fuck off, you're so brave.
5:13
You're so brave. So I'm at this show.
5:17
I think I lasted like 3 hours outside and it's it's probably
5:20
39, but the reel feels like 28, which is true.
5:26
It is. It is ice cold out there.
5:28
It's raining and I mean good rain, not not a drizzle.
5:31
It is raining. And the front of this building
5:35
that I'm at, it's like a pavilion.
5:36
So there's no wind blockage and I'm just getting blasted from
5:40
the back. Oh.
5:41
Yeah, getting blasted from the back.
5:45
So it is ice cold. I lasted I think 3 hours.
5:49
I had one of those like warming pads on my back.
5:52
I had another like hand warmer and I've got like I've got real
5:55
winter clothes now. I've got these dura feel
6:00
freaking lined like slippers. And I found out my boss, it's so
6:07
cold. My boss wears Uggs to work.
6:09
And I'm like, OK, if he wears Uggs, I'm wearing slippers.
6:12
Like if he's cool, I'm cool. So I got a pair of winter
6:16
slippers. I got these massive socks.
6:18
I got a bunch of layers on. And by the third hour I was
6:22
actually shivering. You know, the last time I
6:26
shivered, Ryan, look, it's kind of ridiculous.
6:30
We had a range day in Waldo, Florida, when he got down to
6:35
like 31, but it was sleeting and just wet.
6:41
So you would, like, shoot the rifle a couple rounds, like like
6:44
half a clip. You'd lay it down, you'd go back
6:46
to the fire. Like, nobody wanted to go up to
6:48
the line. Nobody wanted to do anything.
6:49
It was like, this sucks, dude. Like, what are we doing here?
6:53
We're not even hunting. We're just plinking shit.
6:55
This sucks. But that was the last time I
6:58
shivered, and that was like 10 years ago.
7:01
Yeah. That's a lie.
7:05
What else did I shiver? Recently when?
7:08
I don't know but recently. I don't remember shivering like
7:12
that anyway, but I forgot the intros from the last like two or
7:16
three episodes, so I figured I'd actually say the intros this
7:19
time. Well that's good.
7:20
I'm glad I I forgot. Welcome back guys.
7:24
Yeah. Episode 20.
7:28
We're getting back into it. We're in the studio.
7:30
New studio, Permanent studio. It better be.
7:33
I'll quit. Quit new.
7:35
Year new me. We'll have to do.
7:37
Some. Wall dressings and stuff.
7:40
Oh yeah, I need, I need sound panels.
7:43
This, this wall we're talking into is just straight up bare
7:46
wall. There's nothing on it.
7:48
So it is just right. In the shelf and wrapping paper.
7:52
I think it makes it worse. The stuff in there will
7:55
definitely help. It's it's when you have nothing
8:00
like no furniture, no tables, nothing in there and it's all
8:03
just hard walls and floor and ceiling.
8:07
That's where the worst echo is, because the.
8:10
Just an echo chamber. Yeah, it just bounces around
8:13
easily. Whereas if there's desks and
8:15
tables and chairs in there, like the sound kind of gets trapped
8:21
in certain areas. So it doesn't echo nearly as
8:23
bad. It still will echo with all the
8:24
hard services, but it's a lot better than having nothing in
8:27
there. So you're.
8:29
Speaking of, you're on the. Right track.
8:32
Speaking of like waves transmitting, I think we talked
8:38
about this a little while ago to where you were explaining to me
8:41
that megabits do not mean megabytes.
8:43
Yes, Yeah, I didn't know that. So my whole life I've succumbed
8:48
to the broadband Internet like marketing scheme where they tell
8:57
you you get 1000 and really the numbers are for every 100 you
9:03
get 12. So I'm expecting 1000.
9:06
I want a gig speed. Nope, that's not what that is.
9:09
You're getting what, 140 or something like that?
9:13
Megabytes, 120 megabytes, like theoretical maximum.
9:19
And you don't even get that because that's like the
9:20
theoretical maximum, like we, we maximize theoretically 1000.
9:25
What is it? Bits or bytes?
9:26
Bits, I don't remember. I think it's bits, bits.
9:29
And then that tricks you when you buy the freaking contract
9:32
because you're like, yeah, I want a gig speed.
9:33
They're like, Nope, that's not a gig speed.
9:35
Well. It is.
9:36
It is a gig based off of their advertising and they're not
9:39
lying to you because it's a Gigabit, not a GB, a Gigabit
9:46
Gigabit Internet BIT not BYT. Bit.
9:53
So. OK, so they're the other way
9:55
around. You're not.
9:57
They're not lying to you. You you are getting gig speeds
10:01
but it's Gigabit which is different.
10:04
Than bullshit. It's bullshit is what it is.
10:08
So yeah, learning that that's what we're paying for here.
10:11
It's it's 1000, whatever, little B, big B, don't remember, but
10:15
that's what we're paying for here.
10:16
And I'm starting to do speed tests like all over the house.
10:18
And I was talking to Ryan while I was using a like an actual
10:21
analyzer and I was like, how is it 5 feet to my right?
10:25
I get 35 feet to my left, I get 300.
10:28
What is this bullshit? Like I'm done with this.
10:31
I'm so tired of this, but it seems to be holding together for
10:34
the next last 15 minutes. So I'm happy with it so far.
10:37
It looks good so. But other than that, I'll say,
10:45
how was your week? I've got some news.
10:50
Yes, I give me the. Tea.
10:51
Big news. I got to you're.
10:54
Pregnant. No, thank God no, I got to.
11:00
Disgusting. I got to link up with Rufus
11:06
Lucas. And did you say?
11:09
Rufus. Yeah, that's what we that's what
11:11
we call him because somebody mistakenly thought his name was
11:15
Rufus and he thought that was hilarious.
11:17
So we just kind of rolled with it.
11:19
So we call him, I call him Rufus all the time.
11:24
Yeah, I, I just like the fact that he, he rolled with it like
11:27
it was nothing. No, I I linked up with him on
11:31
Saturday and drove the work car up north to Daytona and handed
11:43
the keys in and jumped in my car and drove back.
11:50
I am no longer working there. Good.
11:54
I. So did you have to put the
11:58
deposit down like we talked about?
12:02
Did I have to put the deposit down?
12:05
For the hotel. No.
12:08
Good. No, I because it wouldn't be
12:13
till next week is when the The thing is.
12:15
So I would have had to do it when I got there, but I was
12:18
like, no, I'm done. I had a panic attack for the
12:23
first time in forever after I got home.
12:27
Yeah, like a, a, a can't breathe, give me a paper bag
12:32
panic attack after I got home from hanging out with Max
12:37
because we had a chilly night and bonfire at his place.
12:43
So we went over there and did that and then I got home and.
12:47
The Samoan. Yeah, I, I sat down and started
12:52
getting into the groove of OK, so I got to line down for work
12:57
and blah blah blah blah blah, and then full on can't breathe
13:02
panic attack. Jesus.
13:04
Yeah. And I was like, no, this is this
13:07
is it. I can't.
13:09
This is the sign that I need to end this cut ties now because
13:13
it's it's it's not. You said you had a panic attack
13:17
and said this is it, I need to end it.
13:22
That's so good. So yeah, yeah, I texted him.
13:29
I actually set my alarm, but I slept through it.
13:32
So I, I, I slept in for like an hour or two hours later than
13:37
what I should have left the house.
13:41
So I, I woke up with 1000 text messages asking where I was,
13:45
which is hilarious. Yeah.
13:48
And so I texted him and I was like, hey, this isn't working
13:53
for me. This.
13:55
I'm not cut out for this job. I'm going to go ahead and bring
13:58
the car in and kind of wash my hands of this, you know?
14:03
I do love saying that. Good as long as they were.
14:07
I was going to say as long as they didn't like bitch about it.
14:09
She's had a couple bosses that like bitch about it and and run
14:14
her around because she's leaving because they're toxic.
14:18
I literally had a panic attack during a job because somebody
14:22
said that they were going to threaten or they were
14:24
threatening to sue me specifically for something I
14:28
didn't even do. And my boss was like, why are
14:33
you such a piece of shit? And I was like, no, I'm done.
14:36
And. Like brought her family into.
14:38
It no, it was got got it. Oh different different exactly
14:42
like 3 different toxic bosses. Like that other one.
14:45
I forgot about that one too. Yeah, yeah, they completely put
14:49
him out of my mind. Yeah, they were real cool about
14:51
it. Like I basically was like 1.
14:54
My stress is off the charts. Like when when I was between
15:00
jobs, between getting this one and my last one and I was just
15:06
doing Uber, I was, I had very little stress.
15:09
It's like, yeah, like I have to make my ends meet with Uber for
15:14
the time being, but I'm not worried about it, you know, and
15:17
right now I'm not worried about it.
15:19
I'll find another job. I I will.
15:22
That's, that's not a concern for me.
15:25
But while I was there, it's it's detrimental to my health when I
15:29
come home and I am like just all my muscles are tight and worried
15:34
about, well, how am I going to do this whole thing tomorrow?
15:41
How am I going to do this with the expectation to be here till,
15:44
you know, for 12 hours? So it's like now this, this
15:49
isn't doing it for my health. And I, I told him I was like, no
15:56
hard feelings, like this is not you.
16:00
This is the job itself. This is higher ups than you.
16:04
This is the stress of it all. And I just can't, I can't do it.
16:07
So he was real cool about it. He, he said I would, he's like,
16:13
I thought you were a great fit for the crew and everything.
16:16
And I was like, I like, I like the people I worked with.
16:18
So it's not that big of a deal. And he's like, well, I would
16:23
prefer that you do what you need to in concern with your health
16:28
over trying to make it work and being worse off for it.
16:33
So he was real cool about it. And and then he asked, he's
16:38
like, do you have a ride coming? Do you need in into the
16:42
facility? Because he was, he was the last
16:44
one there and he was leaving to go do some other work around
16:48
around town. So he was, he had already locked
16:51
up, but he asked me if I needed to wait inside because he's
16:54
like, as soon as you leave the building, it'll lock itself up.
16:57
I was like, no, I'm going to walk down to the racetrack,
17:01
which is right down the road. That's where I'm meeting my
17:04
friend. So he was real cool about it
17:06
though. So like I, I was grateful for
17:08
that. And he was like, just so you
17:10
know, the, the regional sales guy is probably going to call
17:14
and ask, you know, what's up and everything.
17:17
And he hasn't called, so I'm hoping that I can get through it
17:21
without him calling because I don't really want to.
17:24
Talk to you. Dude, I don't, I don't want to
17:29
be this way at all, but this guy has short dude energy.
17:34
I don't know if you you know what I'm talking about, but
17:37
like. No, no, no, no.
17:42
No, no, no. He's shorter than you to your
17:48
shoulder. Ouch.
17:50
So he's my height. Like top of his head is to his
17:55
shoulder. Is his voice high?
17:58
Like, does he actually sound like a Disney character?
18:03
No, but when I saw him I thought that he would make a great
18:06
dwarf. So I was going to say a dwarf.
18:11
So I had AI, had a coworker. That's.
18:17
I had a Co worker who is probably mid 40s early 50s don't
18:23
know but he was 5 foot flat and I know my voice has a real
18:27
nasally like sounds like I'm short voice like I know I I hear
18:34
it in my own ears. This dude, man, if you didn't
18:37
see him, it's crazy. You would be like, do not say
18:42
the word lollipop. Like it's, it was crazy.
18:46
Like every time I talk to him, I would, I would catch myself
18:49
drifting into my mind because I'm like, his voice is insane.
18:55
Yeah. I'm like, do you know what you
18:56
sound like? Like, and he was the same way.
18:58
He was like hands on his hips, like his knuckles on his hips,
19:02
like bend his hands backwards like now what we're going to do
19:07
today, but it was like what we're going to do today, like
19:09
all the time. Dude.
19:10
It was so funny. I couldn't I never knew.
19:12
I have no idea what he like whatever he said ever.
19:16
No idea. I never listened to him because
19:18
I was every time he talked I was like, does he know what he
19:20
sounds like? Does it bother him?
19:22
Like he. This.
19:23
This dude was like, I got bullied growing up so now I have
19:28
to bully. Everybody else did.
19:30
He say that. No, no, that's what he, that's
19:33
the. Oh my God.
19:35
He gave off the care and energy like I didn't get anything my
19:38
way back when I was growing up. So I got to get it my way now.
19:41
That was, that's the energy he gave off.
19:43
So I'm, I'm hoping he doesn't call me because I really don't
19:46
want to talk to him. He would be the one that I'd be
19:49
like, you know, honestly, you gave off the wrong vibe to me.
19:52
Like you were the worst part of this whole job.
19:55
You harshed this whole environment.
19:59
But. That's so funny.
20:02
He, yeah, he during all the meetings and everything, I kind
20:08
of had it in my mind because he would be like, we had to do like
20:12
teams meetings and we had to have our cameras on, which is
20:15
whatever, doesn't matter, I don't care.
20:18
But Teams meetings and he would run these meetings and if like
20:27
he called me out one day because I was taking notes during the
20:31
the course, he was like teaching what he was teaching.
20:34
So I was taking notes. So I was looking down and taking
20:36
notes and he was like, I need you to pay attention.
20:38
I was like, I am, I'm taking notes.
20:40
What are you talking about intently?
20:42
I'm yeah, I was like, I have a page full of notes probably more
20:47
than you have, you know, like, come on, get off my back.
20:50
But that was the type of thing he was like he one dude had done
20:56
a picture background and I don't remember what it was.
21:00
It was safe for work. It was mundane.
21:02
It was like a beach or something.
21:03
I don't know what it was, but it was it was mundane.
21:05
It was like a landscape. And he was like, Hey, I need you
21:08
to turn that off and either do blur or no blur.
21:11
That's that's unacceptable. That's not appropriate for this
21:14
blah, blah, blah. It's like, wow, that's.
21:16
Good. That's the next day, the next
21:21
meeting. He came in that next week.
21:24
He had Captain America and Spider Man swinging through
21:28
behind him. I'm like, are you kidding me?
21:32
You have superheroes that are way more distracting than the
21:37
beach scene that this dude had this landscape and you made a
21:43
huge fuss about that, but that's OK for you to have?
21:46
Oh, my gosh. But then first time I met him in
21:50
person, he walks in and he goes, hey, you must be Ryan.
21:55
And I turn around and I'm no kidding.
21:57
I'm looking like as if I was looking at somebody's eye level.
22:00
And then I go and I kind of look around the room.
22:04
He's standing in front of me. And then I look down.
22:08
So I completely missed him for the first part because he was I.
22:14
I was surprised at how short he was.
22:17
Itty bitty, baby. That's tough.
22:23
No, that was. That's tough.
22:27
Yeah, he, he gave off like he was this big bad dude.
22:31
And I took one look at him. I was, I kind of laughed at him,
22:36
to be completely honest. Like, you can't, you can't be a
22:40
Dick like that and expect people to respect you, you know?
22:48
That's tough. Yeah, we're we're all short
22:50
kings. Here, except for Ryan.
22:54
Ryan's The Freak, actually. Yeah, if you're chill and
22:58
respectful to people and don't like double standard your way
23:02
through life, I don't care what size you are.
23:05
Like you're cool with me. But if you're going to act like
23:08
that and treat people like shit, no, I'll, I'll call you out and
23:12
you're, you're a Dick, you know? Ryan's a liar.
23:15
A liar. He hates everybody.
23:17
That's true. Don't let him lie to you guys.
23:20
I hate everyone equally but I I will I will be chill with
23:24
people. So no more of that company.
23:29
I don't know if you want to say it now that you're not there.
23:32
OK, I'm good. So no more of that company.
23:35
What? What else you got coming down
23:36
the pipe job wise? I've been applying, so I've
23:45
actually applied to a few golf courses because I found out that
23:48
they were hiring. So I was like, you know, yes,
23:51
I'll, I'll do that. I'll do some golf, you know,
23:55
work and then do an Uber. Strap right there.
23:59
Yeah, I was like, I'm just basically give me 40 hours a
24:04
week, give me exactly what I need to do and let me go home.
24:09
That's that's what I'm looking for.
24:11
I'm not, I don't want sales. I don't want to be putting in
24:15
extra work to grind and tough it out.
24:18
Yeah, you can make more money, but I I want to spend the grind
24:22
and the toughing it out for my business.
24:24
You know that I don't. Not, not.
24:28
Put any. Really anymore, like from what
24:31
I've seen, and this is just me going through like the workforce
24:33
myself, like the last couple years, if you, if you work a
24:37
steady job at 40 hours a week for a fairly good wage, 20/22 an
24:44
hour, which is doable right now, you can make the same amount of
24:49
money as if you were in sales or if you were a waitress.
24:52
Like it's, it's, it's a lot less of a gig or tip economy now like
24:58
commissioner or tips because the wages went up.
25:02
And I understand it didn't go up across the board, but there's
25:05
definitely a lot more opportunity now.
25:08
And it, I mean, you're talking to me, I've been through all of
25:11
it in the last five years. So same with Amber, She went
25:15
with one company and she went from 18 an hour to 70 a year in
25:22
two years. Like it's there, it's definitely
25:25
there. You just got to find the
25:26
companies. And I, I looked up a company
25:30
yesterday on the way home because it was so fucking cold
25:34
outside. I was like, all right, that's
25:37
enough of this. So I looked up another company
25:40
and as I'm looking, none of them even had the salary or the wages
25:44
posted. And I'm like, oh, don't like
25:47
that. Don't waste my time.
25:53
Say, I know they pay well, they're a massive corporation.
25:55
I can say I mean Schneider Electric, we used to partner
25:58
with him at my last company before I started my own and they
26:03
were they're massive. They're multi, multi billion
26:05
dollar company. They're huge.
26:07
They're one of the biggest names in like commercial and partial
26:12
residential electrical controls and communications.
26:15
Like they're, they're enormous. So I know they pay well, but not
26:19
listing it, don't like that, don't like that at all.
26:22
Like don't know who made that decision, but it was a bad one.
26:26
Yeah, I'll, I'll skip over those jobs very quickly.
26:30
Otherwise, you're going to get, so you're going to get lambasted
26:33
by by the request that I make. It's bullshit.
26:39
They're like, so what's your, what's your rate?
26:41
What are you looking for? And I'm like, well, what are you
26:42
paying? They're like, well, we're paying
26:44
market. And I'm like, what's market?
26:45
And they're like, well, it's, it's, it's cognitive of the
26:48
area. And I was like, what's the
26:49
market rate in the area? And they give me another and I'm
26:52
like, stop fucking with me. Just what are you paying?
26:55
Like, don't pay me. Don't tell me anybody else?
26:58
Yeah. 250 a year. Yeah.
27:02
And that's that's what I told. That's my company that I worked
27:04
for after working for myself. That's what I told my last
27:08
company I work for. They were like, what are you
27:10
looking to get? I was like, well, I was making
27:12
18 and my last one, so I'll probably do like 22 this time.
27:14
And they both looked at me like I was crazy.
27:16
And I joked and I went, no, I'm fucking around.
27:18
It's not like that. I saved the interview.
27:21
But yeah, at that moment I was like, ah, OK, I'm not in Florida
27:25
anymore. People don't do that here, man.
27:28
And they did not like me joking in the in the process.
27:30
Like my first couple of days, the whole company didn't
27:33
understand. They were like, why are you?
27:35
Why are you being like, why are you being bubbly and shit?
27:39
Like we're at work, nobody wants to be here.
27:41
And I'm like, hey, I have to be here.
27:43
How about we have a little jest before we all do our job?
27:46
How about that? By the time I left, everybody
27:48
got it. It was great.
27:50
Everybody. By the time I left, I think I've
27:52
said this on the last episode before, it was everybody had a
27:54
great time with me. And when I left, it was like,
27:57
no, don't go. But So after this one, what are
28:03
you looking? What are you looking to get
28:07
into? I'm I'm just looking for the
28:14
least amount of stress I can get something that I can do a do a
28:21
task and then clock out and not take it.
28:25
Home so at the golf course. Golf course, Yeah.
28:27
What's the task? Fucking anything, really.
28:32
Like, oh, OK, there's not a specific like I want to drive
28:34
the car. No, no, like there's, there's
28:37
like I, I applied to Victoria Hills and I think what was
28:45
theirs, theirs I think was starter retail and finisher or
28:55
something like that. I don't remember that that was
28:57
like the three jobs involved in that position.
29:02
Finish your huh? You get to finish them.
29:04
Finish your. Huh.
29:05
I hate you guys so much collecting all the golf carts at
29:11
the end and getting it prepped for the next groups to come in.
29:16
So it's like you know that the other one I applied was in
29:21
Winter Springs. It was I think it was just turf
29:27
maintenance guy or something like that.
29:30
So just making sure the watering system works, making sure the
29:35
the fairways are up, Captain, you know, fixing that, fixing
29:38
divots and you know that that whole thing you.
29:43
Want to be a greenskeeper? Greenskeeper would be Yeah, I
29:46
I'll. Buddy, that's my jam, Yeah.
29:49
I know, I know I could. I thought about it.
29:52
I just, but I thought about it. That's the thing like, and part
29:56
of the reason is entirely selfish of me wanting to work at
30:00
a Golf Club. Because cheap golf baby cheap.
30:05
Yeah, we know. We know did.
30:07
You did you apply to the one that you go to that you golf at?
30:14
So you're going to be a finisher at that place and the only thing
30:18
that they're going to give you is that chair that you told me
30:22
about. No, that's a.
30:24
That's a different. One there's a finish your chair.
30:27
There's so that one is the Deltona Club.
30:31
I did not apply to that one because they don't have any
30:34
positions open, but they have a cock chair in the men's
30:38
restroom. Love.
30:40
It God, that's good. It's.
30:43
It's literally on the other side of the bathroom.
30:47
It's a one person bathroom. The the toilet is there in the
30:51
corner and it's facing the other the wall that you like walk into
30:56
and there's just a chair, just a comfy looking chair sitting
31:02
there set up directly facing the toilet.
31:05
So it's like what else is? It it's a.
31:10
You don't need anything else but this chair.
31:14
You sit in the bathroom and you finish them.
31:17
Here's your mints. You know what, that's what I
31:19
should do is apply to the barn and be a a bathroom attendant.
31:25
At the barn. Yeah, they got bathroom
31:27
attendants at the barn, did you not know?
31:29
That that's disgusting. They got mints.
31:33
And I think I went to the barn 12 years ago.
31:35
The guys will like pull, pull out the paper towels for you,
31:40
turn on the water and like, do you want some Cologne?
31:43
They've got a whole thing of Cologne.
31:45
They got mints and they got the whole they.
31:47
Smell like dead deer. That's good.
31:51
It smells like vomit. So let me tell you all, for
31:54
those of you just listening, The Barn is the worst bar in Sanford
32:01
like. Wouldn't say the worst.
32:03
I would rather go to joysticks and smell that smell all night
32:08
long then spend one night in the fucking barn man.
32:13
Right. We never went.
32:15
It's the worst bar. Podcast from the Barn.
32:20
Oh my God. It's funny because.
32:22
Those are my people, but they're like the opposite of me, like.
32:25
They're not your people, they're your aesthetic.
32:27
They're my aesthetic, that's true.
32:29
Whatever. Yeah.
32:30
So they're, they're as redneck as it comes, but they are
32:34
absolute degenerates, everyone of them.
32:37
The only time I went to the barn, we all, all 12 of us that
32:40
went, we became degenerates from the barn because of it.
32:43
Like when we got in, we were fine.
32:45
By the time we left, we almost had a brawl like 12 on 15 brawl
32:50
with like a Marine in the middle.
32:51
He's having like flashbacks of Iraq.
32:53
I swear to God, he was on our side.
32:55
Thank God. Is that Sansa son?
32:58
Yeah, that was at the barn. That was at the barn.
33:01
The pool thing, yes. I don't know.
33:03
I was at the barn. Yeah, I thought that was at
33:05
Froggers. No, definitely not.
33:07
So, Cowboys. No, we went to the barn Cowboys.
33:12
I liked. Cowboys.
33:13
The only reason I like Cowboys is because we could get in when
33:15
we were still in high school and we didn't have to have a fake
33:17
ID. They'd let like 15 year olds in.
33:20
That was Mad Hatter. That one I never.
33:23
I think I went there once. Mad Hatter Yeah, we went there.
33:27
That's how we got a mirror in. That was Mad Hatter, Yeah.
33:30
Oh well then that was my one time.
33:33
No, you went like 3 times, yeah. Yeah, I don't remember.
33:37
I'll be Liddy, probably. So Speaking of Liddy, I am.
33:49
Gay. I'm just kidding.
33:51
Gay. Got him.
33:56
Get rested, bitch. 31 Is there 30 or 31 days in December?
34:00
In December 31, 3131, so. Almost a month.
34:11
Sorry, I'm counting on my fingers.
34:15
I am I think. 24. 24 days sober. Hell yeah, dude.
34:22
So I'm back on the wagon again, back on the wack.
34:25
I just smite the shit out of the mic.
34:28
So I think, I think it's 24 days.
34:31
I I noticed when I started the podcast, Ryan, I said I'm
34:34
getting a beer so you can see it.
34:37
Big old blue NA right on the front.
34:40
Hell yeah. So I've been drinking Nas for
34:43
like a month and it's helping a lot.
34:45
Nice. Good to hear, I'm so happy for
34:48
you. So I'm not drinking anymore at
34:51
all, not even a little bit. Not a drop.
34:54
So that's, that's my, I don't know if it's my New Year's
34:58
resolution or not, but it's definitely my new life.
35:02
Hate it, hate it so much. Hey, it's.
35:07
Do you want to talk about? Why?
35:09
No, we don't have to talk about. Unless you want to.
35:11
You're you're the host. You talk about what?
35:14
You want. You're a host.
35:17
You did it now. Now you got to talk about it.
35:19
Yeah. That's your story.
35:23
Oh my goodness, we just had a big old blowout December 26th
35:29
and the usual shit happens when you're drinking and I drank way
35:32
too much and now I'm not going to drink anymore, so there's
35:35
that. So.
35:37
The reason why I don't want to talk about it is because it
35:40
ended with me with a busted hand.
35:44
Both hands. Not by me.
35:46
Two scraped up elbows, abrasion on my neck and my foot is all
35:53
messed up again. So yeah.
35:57
And I didn't even really drink that much that night either.
36:01
She got murked and. It wasn't my fault, was it my
36:03
idea? Nothing.
36:05
Didn't say anything, didn't do anything.
36:08
Everybody can go fuck themselves.
36:09
And unfortunately because I was so drunk, like literally black
36:12
out drunk like 3 hours before this happened, I was no help.
36:16
So that'll never happen again. Yeah, that's what kind of killed
36:19
me was I'm like, oh shit, what happened to you?
36:21
She's like, I got, I got tore up and I'm like, where was I?
36:26
She was, you were like over there doing something.
36:28
It's like, ah, great, fantastic. We started out with pina colada
36:33
liqueur and then grew. Up giant glass pineapple.
36:38
Yeah, and brother, it was awesome.
36:42
And then I had a blueberry vodka miniature like throughout the
36:49
night. And the strawberry?
36:53
What is it? The white chocolate strawberry
36:55
moonshine, little miniature. And then he had.
37:00
So pina colada liqueur what now? Blue what?
37:03
Blueberry vodka. Blueberry.
37:04
Vodka, then we. Switched to no, that was that
37:07
was me. Yeah, then we switched to
37:09
moonshine, is what you just said.
37:10
You didn't switch to moonshine, so that's.
37:12
Three right there. Throughout the night.
37:15
And then his aunt gave me a pickle beer.
37:21
That was weird, disgusting. And then I found a blueberry
37:26
white ale that tastes really good that I was also drinking
37:30
throughout the night. And then he wanted to continue
37:35
drinking. Found a bucket of fireball on
37:41
top of drinking. Yep, I forgot about that.
37:43
Other types of whiskey and then he would drop his shot glass and
37:49
then you did something and like blew it out and then like
37:55
continued drinking with like the dirt still.
37:58
Yeah, that sounds like me. And I was like, cool, we're
38:01
gonna have a great night. And we definitely didn't.
38:06
So for the listeners, I'm deeply alcoholic.
38:10
I say I can laugh about it because thank God I didn't take
38:13
a life or take my own. And I got to the other side and
38:17
it snuck up on me. It really didn't, but it snuck
38:20
up on me. Beginning of 2025, I think we
38:24
were barely drinking because I tried to get sober two years
38:29
before that. And I.
38:31
Think Ryan, you were there for that.
38:34
I think I went like 2 years without going back to hard
38:38
liquor or or really strong whiskey or anything like that.
38:42
It was always beer, it was always something mild.
38:44
It was always a little thing. I.
38:45
Like watered down wine, which it sounds weird but.
38:49
Watered down wine is the. Best it's really good we got.
38:51
To stop talking about this. So.
38:53
Oh my God, I'm brilliant. Yeah.
38:58
So. I think for two years I didn't
39:03
black out for two years, not once.
39:06
So I I was doing great, I was doing good.
39:10
And then last year we were doing this and doing that and I still
39:15
don't think I ever blacked out last year.
39:17
I can't remember though. I can't remember a specific
39:20
instance of that at all, but I do know like through the year
39:24
now looking back, you don't realize it because it's gradual.
39:27
But now looking back, it was like, alright, we'll drink like
39:29
1 beer. We'll drink like one glass of
39:31
wine, but like a week. And then it turned into we'll
39:35
have one beer, one glass of wine couple days a week.
39:37
And then we'll have one beer, one glass of wine every night.
39:41
And then we'll have 3 glasses of wine and then we'll finish a
39:43
bottle and then we'll have a six pack like, and it just, it just
39:47
spirals out. And by the end of the year, of
39:50
course, the last, the literally the last day of our vacation,
39:54
seeing everybody in Florida, our whole family, all of our
39:58
friends, everything, the very last night.
40:01
It went ham and there was fireball and there was whiskey
40:04
and there was beer and I just drank everything I drank
40:07
everything I'd get my hands on. And by midnight I was.
40:10
I blacked out. Let me also explain that the
40:14
bucket of fireball was technically not his to drink.
40:19
It was a gift for one of his family members.
40:22
Yep, and when I ran out of who knows what, I just went oh wait,
40:27
we do have more. It's in there.
40:29
I'll go get it. Yeah, what a piece of shit.
40:32
So thankfully, thankfully, I am 24 days, I think doesn't matter
40:39
because it's just not going to matter anymore.
40:42
I'm just not going to drink anymore at all ever, hopefully,
40:45
hopefully ever again. So.
40:47
Well, when you. Hooray to me.
40:49
When you guys come down here now. 25.
40:51
There will be a bunch of NA beers in the fridge I'll find.
40:57
Please, my good Sir. And if there's any whiskey left
41:02
that he's hidden somewhere in your house, I just need you to
41:07
drink it or pour it out. Because that was another thing
41:09
that he had mentioned. He was like, I literally have
41:13
whiskey apparently just like stashed at other people's
41:17
houses. So there was something, I think
41:21
there was something stashed at my mom's house because my mom
41:23
doesn't drink and she lives with the kids and obviously they
41:26
don't drink. And then she, I think, bought
41:29
you eggnog for it or something like that.
41:33
And then we went to your house. And then I think there was
41:36
something still left at Zack's house or your aunt's house.
41:41
Yeah, he was just like everywhere I go there's liquors
41:46
like just stash for me. Because nobody ever has liquor
41:49
or my liquor. So I bring it and then I leave
41:51
it there for me. He.
41:53
Was like not good. There's plastic bottle whiskey
41:57
in my freezer right now. Yeah, get rid of it.
42:00
God, get rid of it. Yeah, it'll be dumped.
42:04
I haven't touched it. It'll be dumped.
42:09
That's the icky. That's the bad part.
42:12
I wasn't even like, I wasn't even like a connoisseur.
42:14
I wasn't even like a a sommelier of whiskey.
42:17
I was just like, I'll drink literal gent fuel and I'm happy,
42:21
thank you. I'll drink the stuff that's like
42:23
that sticks in the bar mats. If it's whiskey in it, just give
42:27
it to me. Yep, just slide it across the
42:29
bar into a glass. See, and I'm the exact opposite.
42:33
I'm I'm one where it's like, give me one, give me a taster,
42:36
give me two. I'm good, I'm fantastic.
42:39
I wish. But no, we'll we'll make sure
42:45
that we have NA beers in the home and I will sit there and
42:49
drink those with you. You.
42:52
I say you can drink. I'm not going to tell anybody
42:53
else they can't drink around me. I'm a grown fucking man who can
42:56
control himself. I think I understand that, but
43:00
I'm, I'm the type of person where I don't, I don't feel the
43:03
need to drink, you know, hardly. Ever, Jake goes.
43:07
I fucking wish. Yeah, so.
43:10
So if, if we're having, I would rather just chill like the, the
43:14
social part of it for me is, is more important.
43:18
So just like it doesn't if it's seltzer, because I, I'll do that
43:23
at, at West End because they have the liquid death there.
43:27
So I'll sit there and drink liquid Death while everybody
43:30
else is drinking liquor and whiskey and you know, whatever.
43:33
And I'll, I'll sit there and be happy completely sober because
43:39
it's more of the social aspect of it than the actual drinking
43:41
part of it for me. So I'll drink the and.
43:44
It gets. With you the whole night and be
43:46
perfectly happy. Good, I'm glad someone can.
43:53
Because it doesn't. It doesn't matter.
43:54
It's whatever mine. Is definitely not a social.
43:58
It is a disease. I get it.
44:02
But with that said, because I'm now getting better, I started a
44:11
garden like I wanted to do at your place.
44:13
It's so cute. I'll take a picture and we can
44:17
use it for the thumbnail. It's so cute.
44:20
So because it's 20 fucking degrees here, there's no garden
44:25
outside. It's all, they're all seedlings.
44:27
I started seedlings indoors. I don't think I've ever done
44:29
that and. Not indoors.
44:32
Not indoors and they've got their little grow light and
44:34
they've got their little hutches where they keep all their
44:36
moisture and all that. So I was worried for like 6 days
44:40
because a lot of them didn't do anything.
44:44
They just didn't do anything. It was just dirt.
44:46
I was just looking at dirt. Happened now type of person
44:49
because you were freaking out two days after we laid the seed
44:52
at my on the ground I was. I was freaking out for a month.
44:55
He's freaking out about the seedlings here.
44:58
Like he had just done it. And then like I think two or
45:02
three days later, he bought the light and only the broccoli was
45:06
growing and he goes, they're all they're all dead.
45:09
They're not going to grow. They're not doing anything.
45:11
And I'm like, baby, you just started it.
45:14
Like he goes, no, it's been a week.
45:16
I was like no it has it I need and now everything.
45:20
Gratification. Yeah.
45:22
So I was watching like a million YouTube videos and a million
45:27
channels and reddits and AIS and all of that shit.
45:33
And from what I can tell, you're supposed to have a tray of
45:37
seedlings plants growing like 2 inches tall in seven days.
45:43
And nothing that I've seen has been not that.
45:47
So when none of my shit was growing, I'm like, Oh my God, I
45:51
fucked this up. Nothing, literally nothing grew.
45:53
I'm like, ah, you. Also got to take in the fact
45:56
that like what, when are they planting these things?
46:01
I know that they're indoors and everything like that, but when
46:04
are they planting it? How cold is it inside of their
46:07
house? And like what is the temperature
46:09
gauge of like everything? So with us, it's it's chilly in
46:14
the house. It's 65 all the time.
46:16
Like that's the Max, Like that's what the heat goes to.
46:18
Probably no humidity in that house.
46:23
So. Probably not.
46:25
When the heater is running, no, there is no humid.
46:29
I think this is going to go over the heads of a lot of people.
46:33
There's a few electricians out there that know what I'm talking
46:35
about. It is a 60 kilowatt electric
46:39
heater. Exactly.
46:43
That's the the, that's what I thought I'd get back.
46:45
Yeah. So I I can't even explain this
46:49
dude. It is.
46:49
It's the almost 3/4 of the load of a whole house is the the
46:58
energy that's going into this thing.
46:59
It is a crazy heater, but apparently you need it up here
47:03
because it fucking snows. So yeah, that thing, dude, when
47:06
that thing's cooking, it is like, it's insane dehydrated in
47:10
here. So four of my little babies have
47:15
covers where they have like a humidity Dome and four of them
47:18
don't. The ones that had the domes
47:20
perfectly fine, all of them growing, all of them look great.
47:23
The ones that don't I have like 3 out of like no shit like 48.
47:27
The ones that are covered are green beans, cucumbers and
47:32
broccoli, and then you got carrots that are not covered.
47:37
They're covered now. Well, yeah, I.
47:40
Realize hey, you really need to cover.
47:41
It's 100% the. Humidity.
47:43
Yeah, that makes a huge difference.
47:45
I just, I didn't understand that so and I also didn't understand
47:49
heaters because I don't use them.
47:50
I don't know what that is. So.
47:54
Now that I have a cover on the big ones too, hopefully those do
47:57
something. Hopefully I didn't kill them
47:59
already. Two or three days I'll be OK.
48:04
So now I got to wait three months just to harness one
48:07
freaking carat. It's pissing me off already.
48:11
I'm going to be mad for three months.
48:13
I forgot to say it in the beginning of the podcast, Happy
48:16
Martin Luther King junior day. MLK Day.
48:19
MLK Day. My bad.
48:21
I we don't get a day off if we worked.
48:25
Well, I I streamed for seven hours today.
48:30
Dang. I wasn't planning on doing that.
48:33
I was planning on like four or five at most and I just kept
48:37
going and then I was like, Oh no, it's very close to time and
48:40
I need to start. Setting up.
48:42
So I. Go real quick but and where can
48:46
they watch your stream? Twitch.tv/brownie bits under
48:51
Score Gaming. You guys got all that?
48:55
I'll post it in the in the comments below and the links
49:00
I'll. Also do another shameless plug
49:02
because it's hard Pleiades apothecary.
49:07
PL. post the. Links.
49:10
PLEIADES Apothecary. I'm assuming it's on her TikTok.
49:18
No, I need to start posting things.
49:21
Yeah. Yeah.
49:24
I say I've got all our our goal boards that we had at your house
49:27
that's still here to make the social media pages and the Tik
49:29
Toks and all that good jazz. I just have a tik.
49:32
T.O.K I have a TikTok and Instagram and Facebook.
49:35
I haven't posted anything on that.
49:37
Yeah, I think one of the goals for 2025 was like, update it.
49:41
Yeah. Because I still need to do mine
49:43
too. So updating.
49:45
With that said, I know I've said it like 10 times.
49:49
But with that said, I have a garden now.
49:51
Or at least I have seedlings to put in a garden and I might have
49:55
food. That's awesome.
49:59
That's that's. Exciting on a day might have
50:02
food. Might have food depending on the
50:04
day. Well, I've got something for you
50:07
guys. Now is the time of the show that
50:10
I got something for you, and this is going to be food for
50:12
your soul. So I'm going to post something
50:14

50:31
your own way, and then I will tell you what their actual name
50:34

50:38
In reacts links you should see the notification.
50:41

50:50
If I can get this set up by this episode I should be able to
50:52

50:56
but I got to, I got to, I got, I just got to figure out what the
51:00
name of the band is. Hang on.
51:13
Queer Eye. Oh my God, you did not just take
51:16

51:22
I still think their name is better.
51:25
So. The Backstreet Boys.
51:30
The what? Backstreet Boys.
51:32
Oh my God, I thought you said something.
51:34
Else or backstairs boys. Backdoor boys.
51:38

51:41
So they are going. They are.
51:44
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, don't
51:46
say. Looking at this picture, I'm.
51:54
I'm coming up with like the mighty Mighty Bosstones.
52:05
So they are a cover band for a classic metal group?
52:10
Classic rock group. By the name I love.
52:15
Them the the group that they're cover mostly covering is ACDC.
52:21
Their actual band name is Gay CDC.
52:25
Oh my God, that's so good. It's so good and.
52:31
It's incredible. So I need you guys to look these
52:34
guys up because they're actually fantastic.
52:36
I, I listen to a little bit because I saw this picture, not
52:40
this particular one I'm showing you guys, but I saw a picture of
52:43
them online and I was like, there's no freaking way this is
52:46
real. No way.
52:48
And I looked it up and it's 100% real and it's awesome.
52:51
So I had to share that with you guys because I know you would
52:54
appreciate it. Plus one more thing.
52:57
What was it again? Gay CDC visit and reacts again.
53:04
Yeah. Oh, you prick, you absolute
53:12
prick. Oh man, got him good stuff.
53:17
I sent that didn't you just. Bat wing me over discord, yes.
53:26
But no Gacy. DC's incredible.
53:29
They're fantastic. Awesome name, incredible name,
53:35
and incredible theming that they've got going on there.
53:41
I love them. Real big queers, but it's REEL
53:45
like real big fish. Yes, yes, that's good.
53:48
That's awesome. Yes.
53:50
Oh man, I I just had to share that with you guys because I, I
53:55
thought it was, I thought it was awesome.
53:58
It's just I saw the name. ACDC.
54:01
And I was like, oh, this is incredible, incredible work.
54:06
I'm upset. I'm upset.
54:13
I was. I didn't know you were trying to
54:15
look up Queer Eyes I. Was looking up Scott bands.
54:18
No, I'm saying that you said I took yours.
54:21
Oh yeah, I was, I was. I had Queer Eye immediately.
54:24
And then I was like, what's a ska band that works with Queer
54:26
Eye? I cannot believe you said that.
54:30
I couldn't remember Queer Eyes though.
54:32
I was like, what's the Fab 5 or something like that?
54:35
And then it like immediately clicked into my brain.
54:38
But Queer Eyes only has four guys.
54:42
I didn't know that. Either, I think.
54:45
Pretty sure it's only four guys. If you go into the pop punk era,
54:51
it would be oh. No, it's five guys.
54:53
Sorry, you snorted. That's.
54:59
So good. Speaking of butts, no, I have a
55:05
recipe. Not really a recipe, but a
55:07
recipe for you. So we went to the local grocery
55:13
and we found a 10 LB pork butt for $10.
55:16
Hell yeah. It was supposed to be like 25
55:19
and then they were like we got to get out of this, we got to
55:21
move it. So we took it and we put a 10 LB
55:26
pork butt in a crock pot for like 8 hours on high it.
55:29
Was delicious. When we got home it was boiling
55:32
in the crock pot so it's phenomenal.
55:35
I've had it for like 3 meals now.
55:37
I will crock pot my meat nice. Got them.
55:45
I will crock pot my meat forever now over smoking it.
55:49
I've done both. I'll crock pot it every time.
55:52
But I hate the crock pot. I do.
55:56
He hates when I cook things in the crock pot.
55:59
I'm like it's easy. Why?
56:01
Why do I hate it though? I don't know.
56:03
You don't know Aww you're not going to tell him?
56:09
No idea what you're talking about.
56:11
She'll leave it cooking for like 4 days.
56:13
Oh yeah. And.
56:15
I'm positive that's Botulism. I thought that's when you go
56:20
behind somebody and. What, what, what Botulism when
56:29
you go behind that's so good. No.
56:32
Very good. Botulism.
56:34
Is that country in Europe? Oh.
56:40
You're so scared, Bosnia. Who cares?
56:44
The Stan that's. So good.
56:48
Yeah, we did a crock pot pork butt mustard rub, the regular
56:55
like a crackly mustard that you put with corned beef and a bunch
56:59
of other fixings. So good.
57:02
Bunch of other fixings. It's phenomenal, Dude.
57:04
You get a whole, a whole baking tray of pulled pork that's been
57:09
crock potted. It's literally cooked and on the
57:11
inside it's like, I kid you not, it looks like a smoke ring.
57:14
I'll take a picture. It's crazy.
57:16
It looks amazing. It tastes phenomenal.
57:18
I've had it like 3 meals in a row.
57:19
It's it's. And she made this amazing pasta
57:23
salad. What's that?
57:26
I said it's the slow cooking that makes the difference.
57:29
It's so good. You cook it.
57:31
Slow it, you said. Makes it more tender.
57:33
And she said something about pasta salad.
57:38
Mom made an amazing pasta salad. That's right, it's like this.
57:41
Shells, bacon, chips and ranch or something.
57:46
It's it's unreal dude. It's a perfect side to this.
57:49
Like just just straight up pork butt.
57:51
It's awesome. It's one of those like it comes
57:54
in a box kind of situation and then you just kind of make it.
58:00
I made a really good pickle pasta salad the other day.
58:04
Oh my God, it's so good. It's got like Colby Jack cubes
58:07
in it. Oh my.
58:08
God and Pickles and pasta, sour cream and mayonnaise.
58:14
I sent you one video talking about pickle something and now
58:20
my feed is absolutely inundated with pickle recipes.
58:24
I hate it. I hate it so much.
58:27
You're welcome. That's why I never send or watch
58:30
videos. I deleted my TikTok not.
58:34
Really. Oh hell yeah.
58:36
I got rid of my TikTok completely.
58:38
I, I got rid of everything that has to do with keys because I
58:40
don't do it anymore. I don't have a business anymore.
58:42
It's dissolved. My, my, my LLC is dissolved.
58:46
So I don't don't do it anymore. So I don't need any of that
58:48
stuff. So I got rid of it.
58:49
And then I was like, I'm not about to make a new TikTok
58:52
personally, it's just gone. Just delete it off my phone.
58:56
I'm like, I'm not going back. I can't go back.
58:58
It'll take up, you know, 10 hours of my day again.
59:01
You can still watch Tik Toks without having a TikTok.
59:05
By the way, I didn't know that I'm not going to try.
59:07
I don't want it. I don't have any.
59:10
I don't have any social media on my phone besides Facebook and I
59:13
got rid of the keys page on my Facebook.
59:15
Did you? I think so, but I I still use
59:19
Facebook for the marketplace. I don't use it for anything
59:21
else. I try, I try my best.
59:25
Awesome. So sorry, Jesus Christ.
59:30
I open up my phone and I have like with iPhones, they have
59:34
like a a health app and I have like my period connected to it.
59:40
But on it it says fertile window.
59:42
Your fertile window may start in three days.
59:45
Disgusting. Fertile Myrtle.
59:50
What that Dang do? What that Dang what that Dang
59:53
do? Oh my God.
59:54
Disgusting So. No, it's still there.
59:57
Got rid of the TikTok. I do have it.
1:00:00
OK, I got to get rid of that one too, so.
1:00:03
I'm only using it for marketplace and I get sucked
1:00:05
into the videos every now and again watching like like
1:00:08
planting and stuff because they do have some good pages on
1:00:11
Facebook for like zone 8A, which is or 8B is where we're at on
1:00:16
the frost scale frost, whatever. But I try to stay off the one
1:00:21
that I'm I still have full on. I need to get rid of the keys
1:00:25
page on that too, but it's Twitter.
1:00:27
I'm on Twitter 9 hours a day I can't get away from it.
1:00:32
It's so good dude. When they grab Maduro I I was
1:00:36
like scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll I I read 50,000 posts
1:00:41
about it. So as, as we're coming up to the
1:00:48
time to wrap up this episode, I do want to say that I've already
1:00:53
gotten a for sure, yes, from two people on being on the show.
1:00:59
So we'll have some guests at some point here in the near
1:01:02
future. Once I get this, this area kind
1:01:06
of figured out and how I'm going to, you know, do the, the camera
1:01:13
and everything and, and make it work for my setup.
1:01:18
And then we'll have those two on and I've got another person that
1:01:24
I need to contact to make sure that he's still down, but we
1:01:29
might have some some additional guests coming on.
1:01:32
Very. Soon only took us 20 episodes.
1:01:39
Well, we we had a guest once. We had to scrap the episode.
1:01:41
I'm going to I'm going to put that out there.
1:01:43
We have scrapped 1 episode before.
1:01:45
It was unusable. Yeah, but we were so drunk, all
1:01:50
of us. Were we?
1:01:53
Yeah, we did it after the bar. I wasn't you guys.
1:01:56
You guys slid in hot it. Was hot.
1:02:00
I was like, Ryan, we're back. I was like, do an episode.
1:02:05
You were Justin, you were like, we have to do an episode, we
1:02:09
have to do an episode. And Amber was like, OK, let's do
1:02:12
an episode. Is that?
1:02:14
What she sounds like that's all he hears.
1:02:19
Probably. That's that's exactly what it
1:02:21
was like. And then it was a whole hell of
1:02:24
a mess. That was right after the Pope
1:02:28
got elected. USA.
1:02:32
USA. Yes.
1:02:34
That's all I remember that night episode.
1:02:37
Jesus Christ. Oh man, it was a lot of.
1:02:41
Oh my God y'all are annoying how?
1:02:43
Much time we got left. I mean, we can go for as long as
1:02:46
we want, but we're we're at the one hour mark right now.
1:02:52
OK, I'll say it quick. Go to YouTube.
1:02:54
Everybody listening Go to YouTube, look up Chad Caruso CR
1:02:58
Nope. C.
1:03:01
Nope. And Jesus Christ, it's a Chad
1:03:06
Caruso Caruso, Chad Caruso documentary.
1:03:14
It is a documentary about someone who there's so many
1:03:20
things that it what it is. But the main point of it is, is
1:03:26
somebody trying to raise money for a youth program for kids to
1:03:32
have a way to find passion instead of just becoming zombies
1:03:38
and getting into drugs and drinks and all that good jazz.
1:03:42
I think at the time of the documentary, he was like 12
1:03:44
years sober and he was losing his mind at home.
1:03:48
So professional skateboarder and his youth retired.
1:03:53
Obviously by this point, he says I'm going to be the first person
1:03:59
to skateboard across the United States from coast to coast
1:04:05
alone, with no support vehicle and no lodging.
1:04:10
That's crazy. I'm going to take a backpack
1:04:13
that has a camelback, a skateboard, not a long board.
1:04:17
This is not a modified thing. This is a skateboard with
1:04:20
regular trucks and, and I think a couple of like ultra barren
1:04:24
wheels. And he rode it from Venice Beach
1:04:28
in California to Virginia Beach in 57 days.
1:04:34
That's crazy. He did 50 miles a day.
1:04:41
So I think the sponsor, that's the thing, He practiced for like
1:04:49
3 months or trained really. He trained for like 3 months and
1:04:53
he would do 50 miles up and down the local spots and just to see
1:04:59
that he could do it. And he would do the steepest
1:05:04
hill in his area where he was at to practice like going up and
1:05:10
down, traversing like went through the Appalachians and
1:05:13
everything on a skateboard. And it is absolutely one of my
1:05:19
favorite YouTube videos of all time.
1:05:20
I think it I think it probably is one of my favourites, like
1:05:23
top three. So if you if you hear it, if
1:05:26
