  Welcome back to Privy.
• 0:32
  Privy is a podcast about bathrooms recorded from my home bathroom.
• 0:38
  I'm your host, Hunter Hoover, and I love bathrooms.
• 0:42
  Welcome back, everyone.
• 0:43
  Thank you so much for being here.
• 0:44
  And and this is a special episode.
• 0:46
  This one's been this one's been percolating for a bit.
• 0:49
  I am joined via the internet by my friend Micah Herring.
• 0:54
  Micah, how are you?
• 0:55
  I'm good man.
• 0:56
  I love poopoo pee pee too.
• 0:58
  Let's go.
• 0:59
  Yes.
• 0:59
  Micah and I we first met in college of all places.
• 1:03
  And and it was kind of weird because your brother was your brother was like my my adult.
• 1:08
  You know what I mean?
• 1:08
  He was like I don't know.
• 1:10
  He he felt like he was trying to be really responsible for all of us like youngins that were around.
• 1:15
  And it was really fun when you arrived because it was like, man, nobody ever told us that Hayden's brother's kind of gonna hang for a while.
• 1:24
  Like this is
• 1:25
  Does Hayden know that that Micah's gonna tear it up and he's gonna have to try to shut this down?
• 1:30
  Anyway, that was kinda my perspective of like you and Hayden.
• 1:35
  Is that kind of Ben Yall's vibe, like growing up and all that?
• 1:39
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:40
  I've definitely always been like more unfiltered, l a little more let loose.
• 1:43
  I think I think that's everyone's first impression whenever they meet me.
• 1:46
  It's just like d Hayden's so much more quiet and reserved, always taking care of business.
• 1:51
  so that that's honestly like I I've heard that so many times.
• 1:55
  Yeah.
• 1:56
  Yeah.
• 1:57
  Is he secretly like is he secretly like up to no good though?
• 2:00
  Is that kind of
• 2:02
  I mean, bro, like not really.
• 2:04
  He doesn't really like cut corners or you know what I mean?
• 2:07
  He's he's he's usually on top of stuff, but like he's definitely a little bit a little bit of a rebel.
• 2:11
  If you catch him in the right on the right night, you know, when when class is done for the week or his work's done for the week, you catch him on like a Friday or Saturday
• 2:18
  night.
• 2:19
  Also with with Pokemon, bro, we we both just started getting back into Pokemon too.
• 2:23
  You should see him.
• 2:24
  He's s drive all around town, scavenging for Pokemon, hitting the what do you call it?
• 2:30
  Like in the grocery store they have like the
• 2:32
  Yeah, he'll he'll swing by and see if they're back on rotation to see if the cards are in.
• 2:36
  So yeah, when it when it comes to Pokemon, bro, he lets loose.
• 2:39
  He'll he
• 2:40
  man, I I might have to talk some Pokemon cards with y'all 'cause no joke, like like I'm I'm sitting here in my bathroom staring into my my bedroom closet at a box full of Pokemon
• 2:52
  cards.
• 2:52
  It's like my son and I are slow rolling 'cause they're so hard to find right now.
• 2:56
  Bro, it's brutal, dude.
• 2:58
  Everyone's taxing.
• 2:59
  You can't it's if you want like the new 30th set, we paid 2x.
• 3:03
  We did everyone was like, don't do GameStop, don't do Game Scalp.
• 3:07
  We went and picked them up at like 2X.
• 3:09
  And it's the best deal by far.
• 3:10
  Everywhere else we've gone, they're like significantly even more expensive.
• 3:15
  And like I'm not I'm not about to sit at Target in a camping chair and fight, you know what I mean?
• 3:19
  F fight a couple of dudes for an E T B like
• 3:22
  Yeah, that's you know, that is exactly what I did.
• 3:24
  I didn't I didn't no fights happen, but I definitely so I get up at four anyway, 'cause I like I go to the gym and then I go to work.
• 3:31
  And then I like got up and I said, you know what, I'm gonna take an hour off of work and so if if the school's listening, here you go, welcome.
• 3:39
  But like totally posted up.
• 3:41
  My coworker pulls through the lot.
• 3:43
  She texts me, she goes, How's your appointment going?
• 3:46
  I was like, It's going great.
• 3:47
  I'm really tired and the dude in front of me is super high, but
• 3:52
  I got a train load of Pokemon cards.
• 3:54
  And then my son just immediately like it just rips packs and and dude he hit crazy on his E T B for the thirtieth.
• 4:01
  It's yeah.
• 4:03
  It's baffling.
• 4:04
  Hay and I Hayden and I are kind of similar when it comes to ripping for Pokemon.
• 4:07
  He's low-key probably ripped more packs than me overall, but he's been doing it longer.
• 4:11
  But I'm the like, dude, if it's not like an ETB or like a booster pack or something, like we we put some of the stuff in acrylic cases and we just we're gonna let them sit in a
• 4:20
  closet for like 10 years.
• 4:22
  But like if it's in like a hop Zacian box or like perfect order, chaos rising, any of the newer stuff that people didn't really love, I'm ripping, bro.
• 4:29
  I'm ripped.
• 4:30
  Oh yeah.
• 4:31
  Dude.
• 4:31
  It's getting of it.
• 4:31
  Absolutely.
• 4:32
  Yeah.
• 4:33
  Yes.
• 4:33
  It's dude, it's so fun.
• 4:34
  It's crazy.
• 4:35
  Like I it I I never I fell off Pokemon for a minute.
• 4:39
  Like, but even at Corbin, I I got back into it because I was mentoring and my little behavior mentor kids are like, We love Pokemon, take us.
• 4:47
  And I was like, Bet.
• 4:48
  I'll go play Pokemon cards and get paid for it.
• 4:51
  You got it.
• 4:51
  Yeah.
• 4:52
  And so then I got back into it with like Gavin and Austin.
• 4:55
  We used to go rip and
• 4:57
  And then fell off it.
• 4:58
  And then my son, you know, he's like, Whoa, dad, look at all these cards you have.
• 5:01
  I was yeah, they're old.
• 5:03
  And then he's like, We should go get some.
• 5:05
  And I'm like, Yeah, I can't think of any reason why I shouldn't do that right now.
• 5:09
  Like And then it it was just like it opened the floodgates and now it's just it's absolutely crazy.
• 5:15
  I've got like X account notifications telling me like, Yeah, Costco's dropping, whatever.
• 5:21
  I'm like, my lord, it's it's absolutely crazy.
• 5:24
  I look like a crackhead out here trying to get Pokemon cards.
• 5:27
  Yeah, bro.
• 5:28
  That's sick.
• 5:29
  Dude, the the biggest hack I found, like the best Pokemon scoop I've had at like MSRP, is I work in a lot of rural areas for for internet.
• 5:37
  They've been installing fiber, a lot of like last mile run stuff.
• 5:40
  And so like the Dollar Generals that are out in the middle of nowhere is where you can find some stuff at MSRP.
• 5:47
  They have no limit to so like a lot of times they're just bought out.
• 5:50
  The last time I was out in Missouri, I found one and I got a bunch of the black and white poster collections.
• 5:56
  And they had like it was applicable for the Dollar General deal.
• 5:58
  I got like six poster collections all half off for like 12 bucks a pop or something like that.
• 6:04
  The Frito Lays guy, the driver, Frito Lays driver usually bought buys them out.
• 6:10
  And he was the lady told me he was pissed when he came through like an hour after me and all the poster collections were gone.
• 6:16
  He changed his delivery route for Frito Lays so that he could get there before me the next Tuesday and buy the whole store out.
• 6:24
  He bought like two two cases of sleeve boosters, all the poster collections.
• 6:28
  Dude, it's crazy.
• 6:29
  Like you you finally find like a come up, but then like it's not gonna be there for long.
• 6:32
  Like somebody's gonna figure it out.
• 6:34
  Or somebody's gonna plan their schedule to beat you to it the next time.
• 6:38
  Dude, yeah, there I I was hitting Walmart pretty consistent here in Albany, like 'cause we I mean, she'd restock like at open the same and there's there's this group.
• 6:49
  They I mean they are just they're just predatory, the these but it's this fan the worst of it is there's this family, like so it's this family of five and the oldest kids probably
• 6:59
  eight or nine and the youngest is no joke, like four months old.
• 7:04
  And and they're out like sleeping outside of Walmart on on the bench, on the ground with their children.
• 7:11
  Like ten they start at 10 o'clock at night.
• 7:13
  Cause I was like, I told my wife, I was like, I'm gonna go by and see like how how how early they get there.
• 7:19
  I go by at eleven o'clock that night and I go, there's no shot.
• 7:23
  They're all like piled up.
• 7:25
  I'm going, what the heck?
• 7:26
  There's no way.
• 7:27
  And so I'm like, well, I text my buddy and he goes, I'm going in the morning.
• 7:31
  We'll see what we get.
• 7:32
  So we went and these people, they they each bought so like the both the parents and the and two kids, because the the middle kids, like three, can't even barely talk right, but
• 7:43
  is like, I want that one.
• 7:44
  It's like, okay, whatever, kid.
• 7:45
  They each bought five ETBs, just cleared this place out.
• 7:49
  I mean, just I'm just dropped, you know, twelve hundred bucks in that family alone.
• 7:55
  And then you walk outside and they've got like the back of their SUVs just piled high with e ETBs.
• 8:00
  And I'm like, what are we?
• 8:02
  I'm just like dude, yeah, it's it's absolutely crazy.
• 8:07
  And
• 8:07
  It's insane, bro.
• 8:08
  Until they make it to where the scalpers can't flip it for for that much money.
• 8:12
  Here, Hayden's bringing me the uh my chaos my chaos rising binder real quick.
• 8:17
  Yo.
• 8:19
  Here I'll just I don't know how the light's not great here.
• 8:21
  Hold up.
• 8:22
  Let me see if I can get a little more light in here.
• 8:24
  dude, I wish I could.
• 8:26
  Yeah, we have our collection's super small, bro.
• 8:28
  But we we're just we just got started recently, but Boom, boom, boom.
• 8:34
  I actually pulled what bro, what got me hooked was I went into a Dollar General, rural Virginia, and she was like, Yeah, someone just came in like 30 minutes ago, bought
• 8:43
  everything.
• 8:44
  And then I was like, What do I see right there?
• 8:46
  And she's like, yeah, there's two, there's two blisters.
• 8:48
  You can take those.
• 8:50
  So I grabbed a couple blisters, um, ripped the blisters off of the one off of the two blisters, I pulled the
• 8:56
  I don't know you know Ka I'm sure you know Chaos Rising.
• 8:58
  I pulled the Mega Greninja S I R.
• 9:00
  No way.
• 9:01
  And then I pulled the Chinchino S I R too.
• 9:04
  Dude.
• 9:04
  So then I was like we gotta we're almost done with Chaos Rising.
• 9:08
  We're doing most of most of Mega Evolutions, but uh but yeah, we pulled a decent amount of like we've got all that, the double rares, the trainers, all the IRs, but
• 9:17
  Dude.
• 9:18
  That's sick.
• 9:19
  Yeah.
• 9:19
  I yeah, I am man.
• 9:21
  I should try to go grab it.
• 9:22
  It's in the other room.
• 9:23
  But I have like I've been working on for like about a year or so.
• 9:27
  I've been working on some master sets of like individual Pokemon that like myself and people in my family care about.
• 9:33
  And I'm like one, two jigglypuffs away from like every jigglypuff, wigglytuff, iglybuff all together.
• 9:42
  And yeah, it's it's wild.
• 9:45
  Like how I
• 9:47
  How did you ha did you already when you started doing that, did you already have a decent amount of the vintage?
• 9:52
  I had a handful from back in the day.
• 9:55
  And thankfully Jigglypuff is not a super popular Pokemon.
• 9:58
  Like it it it is, it it's not the worst, but you know, I was able to pick up stuff at card shows, like either on trade or just for like 10 to 20 bucks a pop here and there.
• 10:10
  Or like there's some big stuff that's like 150 bucks a card, and I was like, I I don't know if I'm about this, but was able to trade some like more modern stuff that I've pulled
• 10:20
  to like.
• 10:21
  bring that cost down.
• 10:22
  So it's crazy though.
• 10:24
  Like I yeah, and then my wife's got every Oshawa, my son's got every toxtric.
• 10:30
  Like it's yeah.
• 10:32
  And then so then the 30th comes out and it has it has a new Jigglypuff, a new Iglybuff, a new like three new toxtricities.
• 10:40
  And I'm going, okay, you know, here's my chase.
• 10:43
  My chase is this common card that he, you know, we've opened probably 15 packs.
• 10:49
  And I've watched other people pull nine of it and I'm like, sweet, I uh I'm I don't wanna buy this off eBay.
• 10:55
  That's gonna piss me off if I have to buy this like common card for three dollars on eBay, but here we are.
• 11:00
  Dude, yeah, it's it's so fun though.
• 11:03
  Like it's yeah, I have you guys opened much Ascended?
• 11:09
  No, bro, because it's just it stayed so high for so long for the sealed products.
• 11:13
  I got I think we got a booster bundle out of like the kiosk at Kroger.
• 11:18
  So we I ripped a booster bundle.
• 11:19
  I got the what's the Dragonite like Attack Rare or whatever it is.
• 11:24
  $30 or $40 card.
• 11:25
  So yeah, it was I that was my only pull from Ascended, but I haven't opened up much of that.
• 11:30
  I I've opened up a decent amount of like pitch black chaos rising just because of like you can find some of that stuff sometimes.
• 11:36
  Bro, I got here, hold up.
• 11:38
  Yeah, you're good.
• 11:39
  My boss sent me my boss sent me a case.
• 11:42
  I set for my sales bonuses lately, I've just been setting them like Pokemon cards.
• 11:47
  So he sent me a case.
• 11:48
  And so I've got we've got four of these less.
• 11:50
  We ripped one, did one for a birthday present for my cousin.
• 11:53
  Um, but we've just been keeping most of the stuff cases.
• 11:55
  But bro, the one that we ripped, I think we got like two IRs and that's it.
• 11:59
  And just like a few EXs out of the whole booster pack.
• 12:02
  So that kinda like that was a good reminder of like other than the thirtieth, just because the hits are hit rates are high, I'm probably gonna take a huge break on ripping.
• 12:09
  Yeah.
• 12:11
  Rinsed bro.
• 12:12
  Ever since I pulled the two SIRs and the blisters, I just get rinsed out.
• 12:15
  Yeah, I I've it it feels so good to open the thirtieth because I I have been getting just cooked.
• 12:22
  I mean, like I I think I've probably opened thirty packs in a row with nothing but uh a basic EX here and there.
• 12:33
  And dude, it's just exhausting.
• 12:35
  It's like Yeah.
• 12:36
  Cause my we open for fun.
• 12:38
  My my son's like, we should open some packs.
• 12:40
  All right, open three or four tonight.
• 12:42
  And it's just like boom boom.
• 12:43
  So when he opened that ETB the other day and hit seven out of nine, I was like, no way, this feels so good.
• 12:50
  Sick.
• 12:50
  I looked at my I I got two ETBs on on that morning and I looked at my other one and I was like, I was gonna put it in a in a case and keep it.
• 12:58
  I looked at it, I was like, Oh man, that felt so good.
• 13:00
  I kinda wanna rip this right now.
• 13:01
  I didn't yet.
• 13:02
  Yeah.
• 13:03
  It's just like, well shoot.
• 13:05
  But yeah, no, dude, it's so fun.
• 13:07
  That's cool that you and your brother are getting into that too though.
• 13:09
  That's that's a fun thing to
• 13:11
  Yeah, bro.
• 13:12
  I I mean, I'm sure you remember Brady Ellis Ellis, right?
• 13:16
  Yeah.
• 13:16
  Yeah.
• 13:17
  Yeah.
• 13:17
  So he's actually he vends Pokemon shows like pretty regularly.
• 13:21
  So when we were all at Corbin and the market was just like crazy bear market for like a a long time, like before before COVID when everything shot up, he was like gr sending in
• 13:30
  tons of stuff to PSA when you can get cards graded for I don't I I'm probably misquoting, but think it was like eight bucks, ten bucks or something a card.
• 13:36
  Probably.
• 13:37
  Now it's
• 13:38
  Now the base rate's like 60.
• 13:40
  It went up to 80.
• 13:41
  They're hey, we're gonna drop it back down after we get this stuff finished up, and then it's still like at sixty bucks a card.
• 13:46
  So he was grading stuff for cheap, but he's got like a ton of slabs.
• 13:51
  He's got a ton of vintage.
• 13:52
  He was buying at the best, the best time to buy.
• 13:55
  He was investing.
• 13:55
  So now he's got such a such a big collection.
• 13:58
  He's vending shows.
• 13:59
  And so I'm actually gonna probably start hitting some shows with him, taking some stuff at percentage and just start slowly building up my own
• 14:06
  Collection.
• 14:06
  It'd be so fun to start vending part time.
• 14:09
  Just something on the side, have like the collection pays for itself type of deal.
• 14:14
  I percent.
• 14:15
  I've talked about 'cause like I work at the high school and so I've I've looked at doing that in the summer, just like like hitting some summer shows, like take the year, build up
• 14:23
  some stuff.
• 14:25
  But yeah, it's just it's kind of that getting started is tough.
• 14:27
  It's just like you gotta get you gotta get enough to where you have something to offer to draw and and but yeah, that's cool that he's got that.
• 14:35
  That's awesome.
• 14:36
  Yeah.
• 14:36
  Yeah.
• 14:37
  So I think, bro, now that I know that, we definitely gotta link up and do some Pokemon stuff when I'm when I'm back in Oregon.
• 14:43
  Yeah, dude.
• 14:43
  It's Oregon's crazy 'cause like I've lined up in Salem a couple of times.
• 14:48
  It's about a half hour away and it's it's even worse in Salem.
• 14:52
  It's absolutely bedlam.
• 14:54
  It's like gosh.
• 14:55
  Like the best buy in Salem, it wrapped all the way around and I'm like I asked the guy, I said, Do you think I'll get stuff if I wait?
• 15:02
  And he goes, Maybe, maybe not.
• 15:05
  I was like, sweet, I ain't I ain't waiting then.
• 15:06
  I'm out.
• 15:07
  Like there's no way I'm sitting here for three hours to not get anything.
• 15:11
  Like
• 15:12
  Yeah, bro.
• 15:13
  I saw too many videos of people waiting for the thirtieth for like an hour and then they get to the front of the line and like the last ETB's going out off the shelf.
• 15:20
  They're like, hey, we're all out.
• 15:21
  Like that's such a yeah, dude.
• 15:23
  I just I'll pay I'll pay the GameStop prices if it's like a set that I'm really into or that I really like.
• 15:29
  Just for me, it's worth the convenience of not having to wait that long.
• 15:32
  But I I knew that some people were getting paid to go and wait and pick up cards and stuff like that, but I just talked my cousin
• 15:39
  has two buddies that ended up breaking off from their card shop they were working at and they started their own.
• 15:43
  I think they got a distribution deal or something, but they have like three or four guys like on on hourly that they just send out to s to scout for product and they bring it back
• 15:52
  to the store.
• 15:52
  And that's a big part of how they keep they keep bringing up nuts.
• 15:57
  Once I heard that I was like, dude, this is the crazy absolute
• 16:01
  I go sk I hey, I'll go sit out for, you know, twenty bucks an hour and watch watch this.
• 16:09
  Like, I'm already out here.
• 16:11
  I'll do it.
• 16:12
  Like no but it's
• 16:14
  Like I I talk to the I talk to the stores as like the week goes and I'm like, you know, I asked the girl the night before and two days before when the Target stuff started coming.
• 16:24
  I Hey, so like I said, I know you can't open and tell, but like, how much do you have?
• 16:28
  And she she just got this like you idiot look on her face.
• 16:31
  And she's like, We have so much Pokemon cards back there.
• 16:33
  And I'm like, Really?
• 16:35
  She goes, Yes.
• 16:36
  It I've never seen this many Pokemon cards.
• 16:38
  I said, Are we talking palette?
• 16:39
  Two like she goes, No, no.
• 16:41
  She goes, We're talking like three to five like pallets stacked.
• 16:45
  And I'm like, Bet.
• 16:46
  So that was the only reason I posted up so early at Target because I I
• 16:50
  it was at Target.
• 16:51
  Yeah.
• 16:51
  At Target.
• 16:52
  Yep.
• 16:52
  Target.
• 16:53
  Yep.
• 16:53
  And our target actually did limit two.
• 16:56
  And every I mean I limit two and I would say probably the first fifty to sixty people got two of everything.
• 17:03
  And then only after that did it start to slow.
• 17:06
  And it that line held firm for like two hours.
• 17:09
  It was like Yeah, it was I and I just a wall of cards.
• 17:13
  I could not believe it.
• 17:14
  But yeah.
• 17:16
  It's crazy.
• 17:18
  People out here dragging.
• 17:19
  I've I've seen pictures of people like
• 17:21
  Putting up porta potties like two days before at Sam's Club.
• 17:24
  I'm going, What are we doing?
• 17:26
  You you know, that's a bit my
• 17:29
  But I think my my favorite videos from the week were people driving by and pick up trucks and just stealing the chairs that people were leaving out.
• 17:37
  People were just hauling up the chairs and s selling on Facebook marketplaces.
• 17:41
  Yeah.
• 17:42
  Take picture f yeah, chairs free, first come, first serve.
• 17:46
  Yeah.
• 17:46
  That's awesome.
• 17:48
  But yeah, you you were saying a little bit before we started recording, you're you're out in Atlanta.
• 17:54
  You've been out there for five or six years.
• 17:57
  What are you doing?
• 17:58
  What are you doing out there?
• 17:59
  You're you're doing internet?
• 18:00
  Is that I know that's I said that like an idiot, but
• 18:03
  Yeah, bro.
• 18:04
  So I actually um I moved out here to start going to HVAC school and I was just so bored in classes and just kind of doing that.
• 18:11
  I was already kinda like unsatisfied.
• 18:13
  I was like, dude, I gotta like get my journeyman or w whatever, get my certified and then open up my own thing and then you know what I mean, bring on people, start getting a lot
• 18:23
  of jobs, like build up a you know, a base of business.
• 18:26
  Uh
• 18:27
  And then I can start making really good money.
• 18:29
  But it seemed like everyone I talked to, it's typically like a five to ten year window before you're making really good money doing HVAC.
• 18:35
  It's still an honest living.
• 18:36
  Like I know you can make good money, but like I was just doing the math.
• 18:38
  I was like, bro, I'm just gonna be grinding it out in like hot attics and just like this is gonna be brutal to get where I want to be.
• 18:45
  Um, and then one of my buddies that I met playing video games in the pandemic, me and my roommate jumped into a random game of Apex Legends with this dude.
• 18:53
  Yeah.
• 18:54
  And we got it, we got a dub and we kept running for like a good like two years.
• 18:58
  We kept playing.
• 18:59
  And then finally he was like, dude, you sound miserable in HVAC school.
• 19:01
  He's I just got a contract to sell fiber internet.
• 19:04
  He's like, you just knock doors and talk to people about fiber, like new newly installed fiber.
• 19:08
  And I was like, Yeah, man, it doesn't sound bad.
• 19:11
  And he's hey, I'll fly you out to Denver.
• 19:12
  You can try it out for a week.
• 19:13
  If you hate it, worst case scenario, just go back to class.
• 19:15
  I was on break anyways.
• 19:16
  And went out, sold like three or four accounts my first week, made like a thousand bucks.
• 19:20
  And I was like, dude, if this
• 19:22
  it was only like four days of knocking and I sold my account every day and I was just scared.
• 19:26
  I was shaking at the doors, like I was so unconfident and I was like, dude, if I'm this bad at the job and I can make a thousand bucks in a week, like this th this is probably a
• 19:33
  good a good pass.
• 19:36
  And then bounced around, did vivot for a little bit, got a contract back out south and just kind of been based out of Atlanta.
• 19:42
  I'm back here like a few days every month, working in like Missouri, North Carolina.
• 19:46
  I'm working Georgia for a little bit and then back out to Charleston, South Carolina.
• 19:50
  So we get some cool places to go, just traveling around the south selling internet though, for the last like four years.
• 19:55
  That's awesome, man.
• 19:56
  That's cool.
• 19:56
  And yeah, I I I don't know, like, oh man.
• 20:01
  I I understand like the the fiber optics stuff, but and and I know that there's been a couple companies in our area that have begun laying that infrastructure and selling it.
• 20:10
  And so are y'all like, is the infrastructure there?
• 20:12
  You're just like getting people to sign on?
• 20:15
  Is that kind of the idea?
• 20:16
  Yeah, yeah.
• 20:17
  So they're the we the leads we get is just anywhere that's live that has access to it.
• 20:21
  And then we just go knock the doors, talk to explain the product, and then yeah, if they're if they're wanting to do it, we just get scheduled.
• 20:27
  It's pretty chill.
• 20:29
  Yeah, it's like bad.
• 20:30
  Yeah, that's that's awesome and and cool that and so from there it was just like, you know, done with HVAC stuff and straight into it, huh?
• 20:39
  Yeah, yeah, after that blitz, I was like I just did the math and I like, Bro, I just made like a thousand bucks.
• 20:43
  Like I'm terrible at the job.
• 20:45
  Like why why would I not why would I not keep doing this?
• 20:49
  It's been good, man.
• 20:50
  I'm blessed.
• 20:51
  Yeah.
• 20:52
  Yeah.
• 20:52
  Have you uh have you had any like I I I assume like you're down in the south, it's pretty hot.
• 20:58
  Have you had any like I guess crazy encounters on the streets of just like, I don't know, crackheads or like dogs chasing you, stuff like that?
• 21:05
  Like I know your sales, but
• 21:07
  Bro, so no, I run into a lot of characters because like I knock a lot of like rural stuff in the South.
• 21:11
  Like you definitely run into a lot of like just people that are so country.
• 21:15
  It's like, dude, this is something out of a movie or like a TV show.
• 21:17
  Like Yeah, bro, exactly.
• 21:23
  The only cr like super crazy encounter I've had is I had a pit bull that broke off.
• 21:28
  I was in a really ghetto area of a city in like Missouri, middle of nowhere.
• 21:32
  And I had like a big pit bull, broke off the like its its rope or chain, whatever was holding it, snapped, or like the the tie that they had down, like pulled out of the
• 21:41
  ground.
• 21:42
  And so I was I I I was swinging at it with my iPad, yelling at it to get back.
• 21:46
  And I I don't think it was like a killer or I probably would have been cooked, but like I I swung, I nicked it with my iPad, like I chased it back to his yard, it came back after
• 21:54
  me, chased it back down, had to walk it down like three times.
• 21:57
  The whole time there's like this mom and her kids in the car just watching the whole thing like this.
• 22:01
  my gosh.
• 22:03
  But I got it chased back in and then ended up on the last one.
• 22:05
  I was just yelling loud enough and just waving my arms at it.
• 22:07
  I felt like it was like a bear attack, but it like a pit bull.
• 22:10
  Dude probably felt like it in the moment though.
• 22:12
  Like
• 22:13
  Yeah, yeah, dude, because I've owned like our first family dog was a pit bull, and like everybody I know that owns a pit bull, like they're amazed they're teddy bears, right?
• 22:20
  Like they're amazing dogs.
• 22:21
  Yeah.
• 22:21
  Yeah.
• 22:23
  So like I don't know why, but like when you see a pit bull in kind of a like a low income area, broke off its chain, like yeah, dude.
• 22:30
  I was I was sweating, dude.
• 22:32
  I was sweating, but
• 22:33
  oh The low income.
• 22:35
  Yeah, bro.
• 22:37
  Dude, I will say
• 22:41
  Like it anyone from the northwest would be like appalled at some of the conditions that Southerners have their dogs in, bro.
• 22:49
  Like there's some scary dogs and they'll just have the big cages like on the side yard or in the back, like it's like an open yard.
• 22:55
  And they've just got sitting in cages in like 95 degree weather.
• 22:58
  It's some of the crazy like in lower income southern neighborhoods, dude.
• 23:01
  You see some they got some scary dogs out there and they got chained.
• 23:04
  Like you know, if they're getting out, like they're eating somebody.
• 23:07
  Yeah.
• 23:08
  Yeah.
• 23:08
  And out here in Oregon, they're trying to dude, they're trying to pass a law that's like if you if you I can't I it it's something to do with like if you do like anything to your
• 23:20
  dog that is you know, whether it's having your dog fixed or, you know, like if you like n snub the tail on certain breeds of dog 'cause it improves their health.
• 23:31
  Any of that, th they're trying to make it to be like a
• 23:36
  A sexual charge.
• 23:37
  Like you you have sexually assaulted an animal is is how it is written.
• 23:42
  And it goes as far as like you can't even trap and kill mice and possums and stuff.
• 23:46
  It's like I'm definitely, yeah, it dude, it it's not there's no way it'll pass, but it's one of these things that like every now and then Oregon introduces because you know they
• 23:57
  get these lobbyists that are like, We we love all animals a lot.
• 24:01
  And it's like, yeah, yeah, I'm a big fan of animals.
• 24:04
  Like
• 24:05
  I but this is also crazy.
• 24:08
  Like you you know, I if like if there I had a rat in my garage and I didn't want to wake my kids up, so I like, Well, I'm not gonna I can't shoot it.
• 24:15
  I'm not like gonna fire a weapon in my garage.
• 24:19
  And this thing's like flopping around stuck to this sticky pad, so I just like grabbed a baseball bat and just beat it.
• 24:25
  And I'm like it's in you know, eleven thirty at night, just thunk thunk, just like and I'm sitting here going now, I told my wife, I was like, Well, I'm gonna catch a charge out
• 24:34
  here, you know.
• 24:35
  I hit Oregon's precious rats with a baseball bat, it's assault.
• 24:38
  Like that happened forty years ago, so I I'm I yeah, I can't be charged, but
• 24:43
  Yeah, outside of the s statute limitation.
• 24:47
  Yeah.
• 24:47
  Bro.
• 24:48
  Yeah, dude.
• 24:49
  I I always feel bad.
• 24:51
  Like I still haven't gone hunting yet.
• 24:53
  because I feel like, dude, even when I kill bugs sometimes, I'm like, oh, could I have just not been lazy and taken him outside and saved a life?
• 25:01
  But bro, like I I remember my grandpa like we got armadillos started migrating into my grandpa's like he had like ninety acres in the middle of Mississippi and they started
• 25:09
  getting armadillos at one point started coming into the area.
• 25:12
  And I would just do it be like eight at night.
• 25:14
  You'd just see my grandpa like trotting out there boom boom boom.
• 25:20
  It's like you get chief?
• 25:22
  Yep.
• 25:24
  There's just three armadillos laying in the yard.
• 25:26
  Like that's just that's just how you handle it, you know?
• 25:29
  It's just do you
• 25:32
  Do you think they're introducing those bills?
• 25:34
  Is that like just to stir the pot?
• 25:36
  Or do you think they're introducing that stuff like can we get away with this?
• 25:38
  Like will people vote?
• 25:40
  Does you think it's more of an experiment type of deal?
• 25:43
  I think it's to stir the pot.
• 25:44
  I I really do.
• 25:45
  I think I think it's a I think it's distraction personally.
• 25:49
  Like they get people all riled up and they're, you know, they're out in the streets like getting signatures to shut down whatever and then it's like there's this other like not as
• 25:59
  big of deal thing, but they you know, they're, you know, lobbying for some other thing in in D C and then it's like, Oh yeah, Oregon signed on to that.
• 26:08
  It's like, shoot, like how where was that at?
• 26:10
  I think that's what's going on.
• 26:12
  It's like my total government conspiracy of the whole thing, but but then you know, you never know.
• 26:18
  Like the I know they I mean, they totally decriminalize like every substance out here for a minute and
• 26:25
  remember that during like that was around COVID era, right?
• 26:28
  Yeah.
• 26:28
  Yeah.
• 26:29
  Yeah, it was it was straight up it was straight up wild.
• 26:31
  Like I mean, just people doing fentanyl just in the streets and then like the cops roll up, like spray Narcan in their nose, and then they like come off of it for enough and then
• 26:42
  they just like immediately go right back and go for more and it's like holy crap.
• 26:46
  Th this is this is absolutely bonkers.
• 26:49
  I you know, I yeah, get people the help they they need, but I mean if you if you can arrest him
• 26:58
  Then he cannot just immediately begin to harm himself with it again actively in front of you.
• 27:03
  It's like I don't know.
• 27:05
  Yeah, it's such a tough that that's such a yeah, all the the h like Yeah, g the like what do you call it, bro?
• 27:12
  I'm getting tongue tied.
• 27:13
  Like regulate the the way they regulate that stuff and like the different laws they have for it is such a tough one 'cause it's like at the end of the day, yeah, like we could get
• 27:20
  strict and clean it up more, but like I how much is it actually gonna help?
• 27:25
  And you know they're gonna go find it.
• 27:27
  Like they I mean it's that's just it.
• 27:29
  Is like it they yeah, I don't know.
• 27:31
  It it really it came down to like if you if you criminalize it to the point where you can make an arrest, it really just slows it, I think is what they found.
• 27:42
  Like that's what they went back to.
• 27:43
  They went back to like, no, we could arrest people for this stuff.
• 27:47
  What was crazy was how much of it was popping up in the schools.
• 27:51
  Because it was you know, is is uncrim decriminalized.
• 27:54
  And so like kids get it, man.
• 27:56
  And the number like we had a number of kids who had to go to the hospital.
• 28:01
  I mean, we had kids in the state die because of fentanyl just not even because they're doing that, but because they get, you know, marijuana or whatever off the street or and
• 28:12
  it's got whatever in it and they just it's like, my gosh, it's it's just weird.
• 28:18
  Where I think
• 28:18
  Once they started to regulate that a little bit, then like the I mean, there's still stuff that's laced or whatever, but I think a lot of that was less common after that 'cause it
• 28:29
  wasn't as readily available.
• 28:31
  Wasn't as easy for somebody to do it, I guess, as the thought.
• 28:34
  But yeah, it's weird.
• 28:35
  When I do have like
• 28:39
  So when you're out when you're out going door to door, I I thought about this, we were talking about the dog.
• 28:45
  What do you do for like an show about bathrooms?
• 28:48
  What do you do like when you have to go to the bathroom?
• 28:49
  Do you just use somebody's like, do you just say, Hey, can I use your bathroom?
• 28:53
  Dude, yeah.
• 28:54
  So a lot of uh especially like rural south, like you'll have people that just they don't even know like why you're there yet.
• 29:00
  And they'll just come on in, come on in.
• 29:02
  And so like you do like it when you're knocking rural, you get into a decent amount of homes just because people are super friendly and they're like, a door to door guys here,
• 29:09
  like it's like the highlight of their day, right?
• 29:11
  You're in a slow moving podunk town.
• 29:14
  So you get the opportunity to do that more.
• 29:16
  So that saved me a lot of time on days, but
• 29:18
  Typically there's like a I'll I'll run to the gas station real quick.
• 29:21
  I work out of my car a lot.
• 29:23
  Like I'll pull up to a street, look for cars, like houses that actually have cars home, knock those, drive to another street.
• 29:28
  So I car snipe quite a bit.
• 29:30
  I I don't get out and like jump on the scooter or walk the neighborhood that often.
• 29:35
  so usually I'm out kind of rolling from neighborhood to neighborhood and I have the opportunity to just kind of stop in between neighborhoods.
• 29:39
  So but dude, we've got I've I've heard some I've heard some stories for sure.
• 29:43
  We've got guys that that pee in the jugs in the back of the car.
• 29:47
  sometimes if it's like newer development, you'll have like a porta potty you can hit, which is a blessing.
• 29:51
  But but yeah, dude, I've heard some wild, like I mean the the the craziest one, I guess this is a bathroom story.
• 29:58
  This is good for the podcast.
• 29:59
  So w I've got a group of buddies that does solar and one of the guys, I won't say his name, but one of the guys was getting the guy's bill.
• 30:06
  He was like, you know, talking about the PBE, like how like we
• 30:10
  you don't have to actually buy the solar, we maintain blah blah blah, gives him the whole spiel.
• 30:14
  And then he's like, Yeah, if you just grab your bill real quick, I could see if it would even make sense.
• 30:18
  So we can write you a report real quick.
• 30:19
  And the guy goes to get his bill and he goes and pretends like he's looking at the piece, like, I'll just check out the the the meter while you're doing that.
• 30:27
  Goes to the meter, whips it out, starts taking care of business.
• 30:31
  But he's been waiting to pee for like four, four or five hours.
• 30:34
  So it just keeps going.
• 30:35
  Stream keeps going, stream keeps going.
• 30:37
  Homeowner walks around the house.
• 30:40
  He barely barely gets it back in, pee's on his legs.
• 30:43
  He's like, hey, what what what'd you find?
• 30:46
  To this day, he doesn't know if the guy was just being nice and like didn't want to be, you know, confrontational or not, but whipped it, peed all over himself, yeah, got back
• 30:53
  and like finished getting a picture of the bill and turned it in.
• 30:57
  So I've I've heard I've heard like, you know, a a few stories like that.
• 31:00
  But as far as like mine, I'm never really in that kind of situation.
• 31:03
  Typically people are cool.
• 31:04
  I have probably peed and pooped in like over a hundred homeowners' homes though, across America.
• 31:10
  Just random people.
• 31:12
  I would say maybe Yeah, it at least over a hundred rounds.
• 31:16
  That's awesome, man.
• 31:18
  It's that I don't it's not the dream.
• 31:20
  Like I almost said, that's the dream and then I looked like a I guess a sociopath.
• 31:26
  But dude, that's
• 31:27
  Like y you get to see how others live, I guess, man.
• 31:30
  It's just like, oh have have you ever like used somebody's bathroom and and it's just something ridiculous in the bathroom that you're like, W why is this like this?
• 31:40
  or you know?
• 31:41
  Bro, not I don't think I have like a super good like I've been in some nasty bathrooms, bro, for sure.
• 31:46
  Some that are like, dude, like these you you you guys are adults.
• 31:50
  This hasn't been cleaned in like six months at least.
• 31:52
  Like six to eight months.
• 31:53
  Like I've seen some stuff, maybe like over a year.
• 31:55
  Like you see, everything like everything's caked on the toilet, like the the bathtub's just nothing but stains.
• 32:01
  Like I've seen some nasty bathrooms, but I don't think I've ever walked in on anything that was like, whoa.
• 32:07
  Yeah, I don't think I have.
• 32:08
  challenging.
• 32:09
  It's that's tough to like that's tough to then like walk back out and face people.
• 32:14
  Do you know what I mean?
• 32:15
  It's like you see the bathroom and it's like uh well, I gotta go back out and try to close this sale and try to forget what I've seen here.
• 32:25
  That's
• 32:25
  Yeah.
• 32:26
  Yeah, dude.
• 32:27
  I I think the worst is like I've had quite a few scenarios where it's like a handicapped person that owns like service dogs.
• 32:34
  Mm-hmm.
• 32:35
  And they they can't clean up after their dogs are the best.
• 32:39
  Yeah.
• 32:39
  Yeah, that's tough, man.
• 32:42
  Yeah.
• 32:42
  So like you you're like, dude, you just feel about like, dude, my technician's gotta come in here and spend like a couple hours just in the home doing stuff.
• 32:48
  Like that's that's rough.
• 32:50
  But I'm just a sales guy.
• 32:51
  I'm just I'm just a sales guy at the end of the day, you know?
• 32:55
  You're just like, Well, pleasure doing business with you.
• 32:58
  Well, I'm never gonna have to be in here ever again.
• 33:02
  No.
• 33:03
  So I have I have a number of questions that I've I've got a few questions that I ask everybody.
• 33:08
  And what happens is often I start asking these and then people are like, I actually have a story about that.
• 33:13
  So if as I ask and and you have something that pops up, feel free to like interrupt and and do that.
• 33:20
  But the first is is what type of toilet paper
• 33:23
  Is your preference or do you guys like choose to use wherever it is that your, you know, home base is at?
• 33:30
  What's your what's your preferred toilet paper?
• 33:33
  Wet wipes, bro.
• 33:33
  I'm a wet wipe guy.
• 33:36
  Let's go.
• 33:36
  I don't do dude wipes.
• 33:37
  I'll be honest.
• 33:39
  If Yeah, bro.
• 33:40
  Well, I've got a yeah, I've got a pack sitting in sitting in the next room.
• 33:44
  Yeah, I like dude wipes.
• 33:45
  I've been trying to do more of like the ones that it's it's a little bit of a dangerous game, but the ones that break apart easier.
• 33:51
  Like the more biodegradable ones, but you definitely you run into some situation.
• 33:55
  Yeah, some close calls here and there for sure.
• 33:57
  But yeah, bro, if I do toilet paper more than like two or three times in a row
• 34:03
  It it you know what I'm saying?
• 34:05
  It starts yeah, it's it starts like marks.
• 34:08
  That's all I'll say.
• 34:09
  Yeah, it starts to get rough, dude.
• 34:10
  starts to get challenging.
• 34:12
  Yeah.
• 34:13
  Yeah.
• 34:13
  I Yeah, bro.
• 34:14
  So I in my cupboard I have to do the I've got sensitive skin, so I just have to do the wet wipes out of necessity, bro.
• 34:19
  Just getting to that age.
• 34:21
  Yeah, yeah.
• 34:22
  Yeah, I've got uh I've got like liquid death cream soda scented dude wipes or something in my cupboard right now.
• 34:32
  I I was hoping I'd have a pack back here, but yeah, who knows?
• 34:35
  Well one day I gotta make sure.
• 34:39
  That that's the bougiest wet wipe I've ever heard, bro.
• 34:41
  A cream soda wet wipe.
• 34:43
  Have you tasted one yet?
• 34:46
  Not yet.
• 34:46
  I I tr I I tasted the pumpkin spice ones that I had, like full on.
• 34:51
  I mean, yoinked it and it it ain't nothing dude, it does not taste like pumpkin spice latte.
• 34:56
  Yeah.
• 34:56
  You ring it out, yeah.
• 34:57
  You ringed it out a little bit, got a few drops in.
• 35:01
  mean I just I honestly just threw the whole wipe in my mouth and like I don't know I just chewed on it and it's like this is bad.
• 35:09
  Like yeah I yeah there was a moment where like I was I I fully have like I was licking deodorant on this show.
• 35:17
  It's it's we're unhinged.
• 35:19
  Like it's we're totally off the rails.
• 35:21
  It yeah.
• 35:22
  It's I at one point I drank hummingbird nectar in the shower.
• 35:27
  Like yeah it's
• 35:30
  How was the how was the hummingbird nectar?
• 35:32
  It was nice.
• 35:33
  You could you can see why they're all fighting?
• 35:36
  Yeah.
• 35:37
  Dude, it's so sweet.
• 35:39
  It was like the most concentrated sweet I've ever like ever had to the point where I said I cannot swallow this because it will be bad.
• 35:47
  Like it just it tasted chemically sweet to me.
• 35:50
  Yeah.
• 35:52
  Yeah.
• 35:53
  Very weird.
• 35:53
  Very weird.
• 35:54
  So d so wet wipes.
• 35:57
  Do you have a do you so do you have a preferred brand?
• 35:59
  Do you know?
• 36:01
  The ones that I end up getting the most, I do get dude wipes quite a bit.
• 36:05
  They're just typically like they're you see them everywhere at Walmart.
• 36:08
  They have on like the stands and the like the center aisle stuff.
• 36:11
  So I usually will just grab one if they they have good prices on like the bulk packs.
• 36:15
  Um, but I do like that.
• 36:16
  I'm trying to remember what brand it is, bro.
• 36:18
  There's one that's like unscented and it they're a little more, they like pull apart a little bit easier, they break down easier.
• 36:24
  It's a white and pink.
• 36:26
  It's white and pink.
• 36:28
  Nice.
• 36:29
  It's one of them, it's one of like
• 36:30
  The main brands, bro.
• 36:31
  It's just they're like yeah.
• 36:33
  Whatever, free of this and free of that, aluminum free.
• 36:37
  Yeah.
• 36:38
  Yeah.
• 36:39
  I mean and why would you need aluminum on something that you're, you know, cramming back there?
• 36:45
  It's just like it seems like the worst spot for aluminum.
• 36:50
  Bro, another one is uh have you had g have you tried good wipes?
• 36:54
  Have you tasted the good wipes yet?
• 36:56
  No, the good wipes is what the I think that's what the the the cream soda is.
• 37:02
  I'm I'm pretty sure.
• 37:04
  Is it?
• 37:04
  Yeah, they have some bro.
• 37:05
  I had like hibiscus and rose water or something.
• 37:08
  Those yeah, the good wipes are bougie, bro.
• 37:11
  Supervision.
• 37:13
  It's just the c it's the cotton L, bro.
• 37:16
  The Cotton L and like the white and pink pack.
• 37:18
  They're like the biodegradable chemical free.
• 37:22
  I didn't even know oh was was doing that.
• 37:27
  Hey, can you grab the liquid death wipes?
• 37:31
  Heck yeah.
• 37:32
  Shoot, I might sample this right now, huh?
• 37:35
  Of course we had to buy a four pack too, you know.
• 37:38
  It's a three pack.
• 37:39
  Yup.
• 37:40
  Let's go.
• 37:40
  Yeah.
• 37:42
  Bro, that's the craziest.
• 37:45
  Just yeah, yeah.
• 37:46
  Liquid death liquid death cream soda flavor.
• 37:50
  The good wipes, yeah, dude.
• 37:52
  Dang.
• 37:52
  Okay.
• 37:53
  Okay, big dog.
• 37:55
  You didn't have to flex on me like that.
• 37:57
  Yeah.
• 37:57
  No dude, it's not even like it's one of those things where I'm just I'm rolling around Walmart and I look over and I'm like dang
• 38:08
  Yeah, it smells nice.
• 38:11
  Dude, you straight up your butthole smelling like that.
• 38:13
  That's wild.
• 38:14
  Like you roll out, there's dogs that are like coming two neighbors over just checking you out.
• 38:21
  Like Yeah.
• 38:23
  Yeah, it's a similar
• 38:24
  Not as good as it smells, huh?
• 38:26
  No, no.
• 38:28
  No, I'm just gonna keep that right down there.
• 38:31
  Actually, I'll tell you this, this is less chemically than the pumpkin spice.
• 38:34
  Like, there's probably somebody on like My Strange Addiction that's that they are getting Randy for that.
• 38:40
  Like they
• 38:42
  Pack a day.
• 38:43
  Pack a day type of guy.
• 38:44
  Yeah.
• 38:45
  Yeah.
• 38:46
  Yeah.
• 38:46
  They're just like I like to floss it through my nostrils so that way I have residue left over.
• 38:51
  It's like, dude, you're where did you come from?
• 38:53
  You sick freak.
• 38:55
  No.
• 38:58
  Micah are you a are you a bar soap or a liquid soap guy?
• 39:02
  Bro, so actually I do I do a decent amount of liquid soap just 'cause I'm in and out of a lot of Airbnbs and that's typically what they have there.
• 39:12
  But I when I buy soap for myself, like what to have it like in Atlanta, or sometimes I was even traveling with them for a while.
• 39:19
  I probably will re-up again soon, but I'm I'm a bar guy nowadays, bro.
• 39:23
  I try to get like the unscented, like the the dove, like unscented, or the
• 39:29
  There's another one that I started having kind of like allergic reactions, bro.
• 39:33
  I started using uh a lot of body wash, like the liquid body wash and stuff.
• 39:38
  And I used I was breaking out kinda in hives, like mild hives.
• 39:41
  Dang like getting super red and staying red for like an hour or two.
• 39:43
  So I just started doing the bar and I actually don't use like shampoo or wash.
• 39:48
  I just rinse, like rinse, rinse, rinse my head thoroughly.
• 39:52
  But I had to stop using soap on my head like altogether.
• 39:55
  Even the bar soap kind of makes it act good sometimes.
• 39:57
  Yeah.
• 39:58
  Yeah, I'm a bar guy.
• 39:59
  I'm a bar guy at heart though.
• 40:01
  Yeah.
• 40:02
  Yeah, that's it.
• 40:02
  I I find that that's like the natural course of things is like as as guys get older, they they go towards the bar and then I think eventually it circles back where it's like, Yeah,
• 40:14
  it's too slippery.
• 40:15
  I don't wanna deal with it when it falls and I have to bend over and whatever.
• 40:19
  But yeah, that's yeah.
• 40:22
  Bar soap's good stuff.
• 40:23
  I the unscented, I respectfully like that's I get especially with with having reactions and stuff.
• 40:30
  I think the bar, like it's so interesting because usually guys that say they're in the bar soap thing, there's so many like big brands that are like popping with bar soaps like Sc
• 40:42
  Dr.
• 40:42
  Squatch and and the freaking the I don't even know what I can't even think the brand right now, but it's like a brick of soap.
• 40:49
  And dude, their scents are like crazy.
• 40:52
  It's I mean, it overpowers you sometimes, but yeah, it's it's wild.
• 40:57
  How do you feel about baths?
• 40:59
  Do you are you like
• 41:00
  Are you pro or anti bath or do you do you have any feelings towards baths?
• 41:04
  Bro, so I actually don't, I'm not really a bath guy.
• 41:08
  Yeah.
• 41:10
  Not a huge bath guy.
• 41:11
  Honestly, I started dealing with uh pots like a few years ago where like certain things trigger my heart rate, and my heart rate will go up to like 110, 120 when it shouldn't be.
• 41:20
  Like when I'm just chilling.
• 41:22
  One of the times is when I'm in hot water.
• 41:24
  So even like after a hot shower, I'll notice my heart rate stays up for a little bit after.
• 41:28
  So I try to minimize like triggers for that.
• 41:31
  And so I don't really do hot tubs, I don't really do baths.
• 41:34
  I did baths as a kid, but I've never really been a big bath guy, bro.
• 41:37
  Like I'd rather just kinda get the shower or whatever it is over and then if I was gonna relax it was gonna be a hot tub.
• 41:43
  Do it.
• 41:44
  Absolutely.
• 41:44
  Yeah.
• 41:45
  Yeah.
• 41:46
  Dang, pots.
• 41:46
  That's crazy.
• 41:47
  I I've I've heard a bit about it.
• 41:50
  I I can't people like pass like fully pass out from that type stuff?
• 41:56
  Yeah, bro.
• 41:57
  I think some some people that do have it really bad, I think most of mine is a lot of it's gut related because it's gotten better as I've been losing weight and and cleaning up yeah
• 42:07
  cleaning up my diet.
• 42:08
  So I notice it's like the pots has been it doesn't get triggered for quite as long.
• 42:11
  It doesn't get triggered like, you know, all throughout the day anymore.
• 42:14
  So I think a lot of it's just gut inflammation.
• 42:17
  So working on getting my gut my gut right has definitely helped a lot.
• 42:20
  Like showers used to like, dude, I'd be in and out in like
• 42:23
  Two or three minutes just 'cause it was so miserable and my heart rate would just start jacking up.
• 42:26
  And now I can sit in there, I can soak like ten, fifteen minutes, it's not an issue.
• 42:30
  So I'm hoping to start getting back into the hot tub and soon too, but but yeah, I was never never a huge bath guy, but I just get bored.
• 42:37
  I get bored in a bath.
• 42:39
  Dude.
• 42:39
  You know what I mean?
• 42:40
  Like I it yeah, absolutely.
• 42:42
  It's like people are like, it's so relaxing.
• 42:44
  I'm like, I my I don't know.
• 42:46
  I it's probably the ADHD of it all.
• 42:48
  I'm just like, Yeah, but you know, I could be like doing something else somewhere else.
• 42:53
  I don't know.
• 42:54
  Yeah.
• 42:55
  Bro.
• 42:55
  If you're wealthy enough to have like a a flat screen in the in the shower, something like a waterproof flat screen, I'm sure it's great.
• 43:02
  But I'd r I'd rather just get the shower done and go hit the couch, you know, throw something on, but
• 43:09
  Exactly.
• 43:10
  Exactly.
• 43:11
  Absolutely.
• 43:12
  You you said you've been you've been cleaning up the diet, or you are you just kinda doing like more vegetables?
• 43:17
  What what so I I'll share.
• 43:19
  So my doctor was like, Hey idiot, you should probably eat more than like one vegetable a week, like about a year ago.
• 43:25
  So I've been hitting straight up like seven servings of vegetables a day.
• 43:29
  I I went like full autistic kid and said, Okay, watch this, I'll do it all the way the other direction.
• 43:34
  And now I'm like bowl of vegetables for lunch.
• 43:37
  Everybody's like, What's wrong with you?
• 43:39
  I said, I'm proving everybody wrong I'm fat because I'm fat, not because of the vegetables.
• 43:43
  Watch this.
• 43:43
  Like
• 43:47
  Yeah, bro.
• 43:48
  So honestly, dude, I I've been doing like way better.
• 43:51
  Actually, the last few days since I got back to Atlanta, I've been hanging with the fam and eating ice cream every night, bro.
• 43:55
  I've had ice cream every night for the last like four nights.
• 43:58
  But but the amount like my my caloric intake is like way, way down.
• 44:03
  So like when I do eat something bad, I'm eating a lot less of it.
• 44:06
  So I'm still losing weight.
• 44:07
  I think I'm down like probably like fifty five pounds total so far.
• 44:12
  That's crazy.
• 44:13
  I've been doing it super slow this time because my problem before was
• 44:16
  I would like my heaviest was like two hundred eighty, but I would like jet up to like anywhere from two sixty to two eighty, go crazy on a diet, get back down close to two
• 44:24
  hundred, and then slowly get back up and then do the same thing.
• 44:27
  So now it's been more of like a lifestyle type of thing.
• 44:31
  And it's been more manageable and it's just slowly losing like a few pounds every month type of deal.
• 44:36
  So it's it's been super manageable, but I
• 44:38
  I definitely eat better in general, especially when I'm working, dude, because I the gut inflammation will give me like one of the worst ones.
• 44:43
  I thought I was dying, bro.
• 44:44
  I went to the ER like three times in like a six month period.
• 44:47
  Felt like I couldn't breathe, like pseudo shortness of breath.
• 44:50
  And so if I eat anything that's not like not clean and light during my work day, I feel miserable.
• 44:57
  I'm like walking around the neighborhood, walking upstairs, like totally out of breath by the time I get up, like six steps.
• 45:01
  So I a big part of it is like being getting hell a little bit healthier, being able to work a lot more and not as bogged down by the health stuff.
• 45:08
  It's like when I'm working, I'm I'm typically eating a lot better.
• 45:11
  So I think that's been that's been a big thing.
• 45:12
  It's just like functional eating, just naturally kinda slowly losing weight.
• 45:17
  Yeah.
• 45:18
  Yeah.
• 45:18
  Absolutely.
• 45:19
  That's dude, that's awesome.
• 45:21
  I know like when I'm off for summer and I'm home, it it's dude, I make the kids mac and cheese and it's like I mean, there's some in the pan, I'm definitely not gonna just leave
• 45:33
  it, you know.
• 45:34
  Somebody's gonna have to take care of this mac and cheese and it's me.
• 45:37
  Yeah.
• 45:38
  Why not us?
• 45:40
  Yeah.
• 45:41
  And you know, there's enough for like two or three servings, but I I ate one and there's probably not enough to put away, so I'll probably just eat the second now.
• 45:47
  Yeah, do you I you said that about ice cream with the fam and uh one of the things that I remember about your brother was he we we would be in the dorm and he would just come in
• 45:58
  with a little dish of ice cream or or a little dishes like a bowl of cereal.
• 46:02
  I like I don't know why that stands out to me, but I feel like Hayden's probably driving this ice cream thing.
• 46:09
  I don't know.
• 46:10
  he's yeah, he he's a big benefactor for sure.
• 46:12
  He's been been been donating a lot of support.
• 46:14
  Bro, so we actually found have you have you been to I think they're based out of like Wisconsin or Indiana or like somewhere Midwest, but have you heard of an ice cream shop
• 46:25
  called Handles?
• 46:26
  They just started putting them in Oregon.
• 46:28
  I think they came to like they've got a few around Portland and they just came in like a year or two ago.
• 46:33
  They just started coming into Atlanta.
• 46:35
  No, I haven't.
• 46:35
  That sounds great though.
• 46:38
  Yeah.
• 46:38
  So one of our one of our big complaints, dude, is I'm I'm sure are you a Tillamook guy?
• 46:42
  Do you like Tillamook ice cream?
• 46:44
  I mean, I man, I do like Tillamuk.
• 46:47
  I it's probably my go-to out here in Oregon.
• 46:51
  Every now and then we'll hit up an umqua or dude like like one of my favorites is it's just Kroger brand.
• 46:58
  It's black raspberry cookies and cream.
• 47:01
  It's just like this
• 47:03
  Black raspberry cookies and cream.
• 47:05
  Have you ever heard of that, bro?
• 47:05
  Yeah.
• 47:06
  dude, it's a Kroger.
• 47:08
  I think it's black raspberry.
• 47:09
  Ras.
• 47:11
  Do they have do they have Kroger out in
• 47:13
  where you're at?
• 47:15
  Yeah, it's it's Kroger brand.
• 47:17
  It's they call him Fred Meyer out here.
• 47:19
  Yeah.
• 47:20
  'Cause they
• 47:20
  Kroger's Kroger owns like a ton of different Kroger umbrella, so they sell the Kroger stuff.
• 47:26
  Yeah, yeah.
• 47:27
  Yeah, Kroger's my favorite, so I I like Publix, but Kroger's my go to.
• 47:31
  They have the best ice cream selection.
• 47:33
  Publix, dude.
• 47:34
  I I would go to Publix when I go down to Florida and visit my family.
• 47:38
  And I just remember my uncle would just get this giant like box of fried chicken.
• 47:43
  And I think Publix Chicken is what taught me to eat fried chicken.
• 47:47
  I I think that's where I learned it.
• 47:50
  Pu Publix is Publix is underrated for fried chicken, dude.
• 47:53
  My uncle would bring that home quite a bit when I was staying with him too, like once every couple weeks probably.
• 47:58
  But yeah, their fried chicken's good, dude.
• 48:00
  Their fried chicken's really good.
• 48:01
  Yeah.
• 48:03
  Yeah, I looked it up.
• 48:04
  It's it's yeah it's black raspberry cookies and cream from Kroger.
• 48:07
  It's like one of my absolute favorite ice creams.
• 48:11
  And I I get the teens on it at the church and I'm like, yeah.
• 48:15
  What makes it what makes it your favorite ice cream?
• 48:18
  What what about it?
• 48:19
  Is it I'm sure it's a mix of several things, but like is there is it just like the perfect flavor?
• 48:25
  Is it the right consistency?
• 48:26
  Like what makes that specific one your favorite?
• 48:30
  it's not a consistent thing, 'cause Kroger's ice cream, I could be creamier.
• 48:33
  Like I I think that's a one of the shortfalls of it.
• 48:36
  But it's it's it's got a really good like not not like tooty fruity fruit flavor, but it's like kinda got a a a pretty good fruit flavor with the dark raspberry.
• 48:46
  But I love cookies and cream.
• 48:48
  Like I just love Oreos in in my ice cream.
• 48:51
  And so it's it's kinda scratches both of those itches for me and I'm like, yeah, I I'll get silly with it for sure.
• 49:00
  Are you way are you a bluebell guy?
• 49:04
  Have you had blue belt?
• 49:05
  out there?
• 49:06
  yeah.
• 49:07
  Yeah, I've had it.
• 49:08
  I you know, it's one of those things where it was good.
• 49:11
  I wasn't like I wasn't like crazy.
• 49:14
  And you know, I I think my aunts swear by bluebell.
• 49:17
  I just know it comes in a giant bucket too.
• 49:19
  It's just like I don't even know what I'll do with all this.
• 49:22
  Yeah, bro, it's it's a big bucket.
• 49:24
  I think Bluebell's one of those things, bro, where they've got like out of their whatever it is, like fifteen, twenty flavors, like they've got a few really good flavors and then
• 49:32
  it's like a steep drop off.
• 49:33
  So like the top for Bluebell is like pretty elite for grocery store ice cream, but like it really starts falling quick.
• 49:41
  there's I I had some of their seasonal flavors recently that were pretty dang good too.
• 49:45
  But I I I will say Bluebell, if you don't get the right flavor, it's it's buns for sure.
• 49:50
  Yeah.
• 49:50
  Overhyped.
• 49:51
  Yeah.
• 49:51
  We Yeah.
• 49:53
  It's I like I said, I think I've only ever had the vanilla for Bluebell.
• 49:57
  So if I ever see it when I'm out and about, I'll have to hit up some of those other flavors because we're so boring right now, we've just been hitting like regular Kirkland
• 50:06
  brand vanilla ice cream and then just like putting like a spoonful of raspberry jelly on top of it, just bop, just like like poor man's fruit flavored topping.
• 50:16
  Just it's yeah.
• 50:19
  Just a bullish
• 50:20
  The kids just diabetes in a bowl.
• 50:27
  Just hit you know.
• 50:31
  Whatever
• 50:32
  There was a minute there was a minute before I was trying to pretend to be healthy where I was like, I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna be like a gonna be like a Pop Tart connoisseur and I'm
• 50:43
  you know, I'm gonna put peanut butter and Nutella on my Pop Tart and it's gonna be crazy and and dog, I it's just so awful for you.
• 50:51
  Like I my goodness, they're so good, but it's just bad for ya.
• 50:56
  It it's like and then now Pop Tarts like, we've got protein in our Pop Tarts, it's really good for ya.
• 51:01
  It's like it
• 51:02
  There's like forty grams of sugar.
• 51:05
  Bro
• 51:06
  Do you know what I was super No, the the little Debbie stuff, the Pop Tart, like I can't I just can't, bro.
• 51:13
  Like every once in a while I'll have like one and be like, yeah, that wasn't bad, but like I just can't.
• 51:17
  I I know what's coming if I sit there and eat a whole pack of it.
• 51:21
  But bro, you know it when I was at Corbin, there was one that I was hitting like every week was the when they had the I I don't know if they have them all the time now, but it
• 51:31
  was like the limited time, like the Christmas, the sugar cookie pop tarts.
• 51:36
  Yeah.
• 51:37
  And they had like the design like the designs on like the little sugar cookies you make from the store or whatever.
• 51:42
  They kinda had those type of vibes.
• 51:43
  Bro, bangin'.
• 51:45
  That was my favorite Pop Tart by far.
• 51:47
  There are some really good Pop Tarts, but that sugar cookie one was hitting, bro.
• 51:53
  Yeah, I um I I went overkill on the Ego Waffles Pop Tarts.
• 51:57
  They made like an Ego Waffles and syrup flavored one.
• 52:00
  dear.
• 52:01
  Yeah.
• 52:03
  Yeah.
• 52:04
  Egg of Waffle Cereal.
• 52:06
  The Ego Waffle cereal is my favorite cereal.
• 52:08
  So I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure that's banging.
• 52:10
  That's my n number one all time is the Ego Waffle cereal for sure.
• 52:16
  What okay, yeah, th it is good.
• 52:18
  Do have do you have a top five do you have a top five list for Pop Tarts?
• 52:23
  Could you can you rattle it off?
• 52:24
  Are you familiar with with your Pop Tart games?
• 52:26
  Yeah.
• 52:27
  yeah.
• 52:27
  I mean, so so my number one Pop Tart is the the chocolate chip cookie flavor.
• 52:32
  It it doesn't have any frosting.
• 52:34
  So this is why it's a turn off to a lot of people is it's just got like a little chocolate drizzle on it.
• 52:38
  But dude, chocolate chip cookie is is number one.
• 52:41
  Number two is that wild berry with that just it's like that nostalgic nineties like uh idiot frosting.
• 52:49
  It's just it and it's I don't know if it's the best fruit flavor, but it just tastes like when I was a kid.
• 52:56
  Yeah.
• 52:56
  And then number three's probably S'mores.
• 53:00
  Like S'mores Pop Tarts are crazy.
• 53:02
  Good.
• 53:03
  S'mores is underrated, for sure.
• 53:06
  S'mores is good.
• 53:07
  Four, four.
• 53:08
  I'm gonna go.
• 53:09
  I'm gonna go the blueberry, not not the strawberry.
• 53:12
  Only because I I feel like strawberries everywhere.
• 53:14
  The the blueberry, the little crunchies on top are so good.
• 53:18
  And then number five is is probably that ego waffle.
• 53:22
  Like it it was special.
• 53:24
  And then I don't know how many total Pop Tarts there are, but whatever, however many that is, at the very bottom of that list is brown sugar cinnamon.
• 53:33
  I hate it.
• 53:34
  Bro.
• 53:34
  I knew it.
• 53:35
  I knew it, dude.
• 53:36
  I'm a I'm a Pop Tart casual, dude, and I grew up on the brown sugar.
• 53:40
  So I it would be a top five for me, but I know that everyone that was actually getting down and really doing Pop Tarts, like a Pop Tart connoisseur, like everyone says the same
• 53:51
  thing.
• 53:51
  I hear it.
• 53:51
  Is it the brown sugar cinnamon is the most overrated Pop Tart of all time?
• 53:55
  And I hear it.
• 53:56
  I just dude, I think it's just like a nostalgia thing for me.
• 53:58
  I just grew up with them.
• 54:00
  It has all my parents bought was the brown sugar cinnamon.
• 54:04
  Yeah, my wife's the same way.
• 54:05
  She's like, this is this is almost peak Pop Tart experience.
• 54:08
  And I'm going, That's cool.
• 54:13
  Like, it's I don't know, man.
• 54:15
  I but yeah, I I just I it it's to the point where it's almost a gag like at the school where I work and like with a bunch of the teens that I work with that's like they'll buy
• 54:26
  me brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts like leave
• 54:28
  And like Pop Tarts famously, they don't mark what the flavor is on the foil packaging.
• 54:34
  So it's just like bet Pop Tart rip son of a you know, it's just like what am I supposed to do with this now?
• 54:41
  It's like this kid's like, You're supposed to eat it, Mr.
• 54:44
  Hoover.
• 54:44
  I was like, I I don't think I can.
• 54:46
  I I I'm actually not.
• 54:48
  I can't.
• 54:49
  And they're like, What?
• 54:50
  don't enjoy it's not one of those where like no there's better options but you just genuinely don't enjoy it.
• 54:56
  No, to me, like it turns to paste in my mouth.
• 54:59
  I don't know.
• 54:59
  It's just like maybe I've got like a mouth like a dry mouth problem, but it's like when I chew it, it like becomes the consistency of like wall putty.
• 55:09
  And and all I and it's just like I cannot get it to soften.
• 55:13
  And then I just finally like I'm like, Well, I got this sugar paste, I might as well swallow it.
• 55:17
  Like Yeah.
• 55:21
  That's somebody's dream, but it's not mine.
• 55:24
  But but like my wife loves it.
• 55:26
  She's like, I love brown sugar cinnamon.
• 55:28
  It's the best one.
• 55:29
  Um but yeah, chocolate chip cookie is my definite number one Pop Tart for sure.
• 55:35
  Yeah, cho chocolate chip cookie's good, bro.
• 55:37
  Honestly, the older I'm getting, I'm I'm simple, bro.
• 55:40
  Like the my favorite dessert is just like a regular chocolate chip cookie or like a cinnamon roll or like something that's just kind of got like maybe two or three flavors
• 55:48
  going on, just done well, high quality ingredients.
• 55:51
  Yep.
• 55:52
  That's all that's all a man needs.
• 55:54
  Absolutely.
• 55:55
  Yeah.
• 55:56
  That's all a man needs.
• 55:57
  Do you ever do you ever do any like snacks or anything in the bathroom?
• 56:01
  Bro, I'm not no, I don't I don't I don't think I'm a snack in the bathroom kind of guy.
• 56:06
  You be snacking in there sometimes?
• 56:09
  Sometimes, yeah.
• 56:09
  I mean, you know, sometimes you're like mid snack and you're just like, this can't wait.
• 56:13
  You do a little candy bar.
• 56:15
  Like, if you're if you're like, you know, you get in there, it's like, ooh, I got candy in my pocket.
• 56:20
  You just kind of pop that bad boy open, throw it, and then it's done.
• 56:23
  Like there's no you don't have to get any hands on the mix.
• 56:25
  It's just it's all taken care of.
• 56:28
  Yeah, I I'm a big shower drink guy too, though.
• 56:30
  Like I I love having like a cold seltzer, like um
• 56:35
  Lot of lot of folks will do like cold shower beer.
• 56:37
  But like dude, cold seltzer in the shower is it, man.
• 56:40
  It's so good.
• 56:41
  Yeah.
• 56:42
  The shower beverage, Ama.
• 56:44
  Yeah.
• 56:45
  yeah.
• 56:45
  You never you never hit you never take a little little drink in the shower?
• 56:50
  Bro, I've yeah, I've ripped a shower beer, but I'm pretty sure it was for like somebody wanted to get a snapchat of me ripping a shower beer at like ten AM or something at a
• 56:58
  bachelor party.
• 56:59
  But I don't think I ever I don't think I ever did it unless like 'cause I knew I knew someone was trying to film a Snapchat or something.
• 57:04
  But I don't think I've ever just like willingly maybe maybe I have like once or like in a rush, you know what I mean, trying to get the beer finished so I'm I'm I don't ha have to
• 57:12
  bring it in the car or anything.
• 57:14
  dude, no, like I I'm fully I'm fully like, I'm getting ready to get in the shower.
• 57:18
  I gotta get out to the kitchen and get one fresh so that way I can have one in there and ready to go.
• 57:24
  Like I I'm pre-gaming it.
• 57:25
  It's crazy.
• 57:27
  Yeah, it it's a passion, I guess.
• 57:29
  You know, it's yeah.
• 57:32
  Yeah.
• 57:33
  Have you ever have you ever eaten a an orange?
• 57:36
  I think I know the answer, but have you ever eaten an orange in the shower as if it was an apple?
• 57:40
  An orange in the sh no, no, no, no, never never done that personally.
• 57:44
  Have you?
• 57:46
  Yeah, yeah.
• 57:46
  Yeah, it's it's you know there's something about an orange, like you kinda have to do the little plugs, otherwise it's just juice.
• 57:52
  But like when you get in the shower, man, you can just go for it.
• 57:56
  And that juice it just you know, the shower just washes all the worry away.
• 58:00
  It it takes care of everything.
• 58:03
  You just take the orange in there and go National Geographic, eh?
• 58:06
  yeah.
• 58:07
  Yeah, it's it's primal.
• 58:08
  It's like yeah.
• 58:09
  Watermelon.
• 58:10
  I mean I I've had a friend, he's like, dude, a couple slices of watermelon in the shower though, it's pretty good.
• 58:16
  And I'm like I was like, What do you do with the rind?
• 58:19
  He goes, you just put it on the Yeah.
• 58:21
  You just put it on the ground, you get it when you're done and I'm like,
• 58:24
  Well, I guess that makes sense, I guess.
• 58:27
  Bro, watermelons, watermelon, best best fruit.
• 58:31
  Still my favorite fruit.
• 58:32
  Still haven't had a fruit that competes with it.
• 58:34
  Like nothing hits harder than a crispy watermelon, bro.
• 58:37
  Yeah.
• 58:37
  Yeah.
• 58:38
  I it's it it's so refreshing.
• 58:40
  And I think it's because it's really like at least over here, like in Oregon, it's really only good during the summer.
• 58:46
  Like that's when they're in season.
• 58:48
  And that like you have that like two to four month window of good watermelon that when you have it, it's like oh my gosh, give me another.
• 58:55
  Slice me up another.
• 58:57
  But yeah, it's yeah, dude, orange in the shower is is a good time.
• 59:03
  Did you ever take a dark shower?
• 59:06
  dark shower?
• 59:07
  Yeah, bro, out of out like out of necessity.
• 59:10
  I'm pretty sure I took one at Davidson actually.
• 59:12
  I think we had lights out.
• 59:14
  Yeah.
• 59:16
  Like we lost power I think a couple times in there and I think just the emergency stuff was kind of lit up.
• 59:21
  And so I definitely showered in the in the dorm stalls when there was like a power outage one time.
• 59:26
  I think it was during like the monsoon uh
• 59:30
  It's like peak shower experience for me, I think.
• 59:32
  It's just emergency lights only.
• 59:35
  Yeah, bro.
• 59:36
  You're little scared.
• 59:38
  Yeah, yeah.
• 59:39
  It's like, man, this feels like every horror movie I've ever seen.
• 59:45
  But, you know, I I can't die first, so we'll be fine.
• 59:49
  Like, it's all good.
• 59:50
  Do you do you have any bathroom pet peeves like stuff that that whether it's roommates or maybe it's something Hayden used to do, but stuff that just drives you up a wall in the
• 1:00:01
  bathroom?
• 1:00:02
  Dude, no, I don't really I don't really get too frustrated with bathroom stuff.
• 1:00:07
  I think the only thing that's just like like makes me even second guess like, dude, do I just go to work a little a little grimy today and skip the showers?
• 1:00:14
  Like if you're getting ready to jump in the shower before work and like somebody just drops a absolute bomb.
• 1:00:20
  Someone just noggasak uses the bathroom and and you've got to take to go take a shower right after.
• 1:00:25
  It's like, bro, do I even shower today?
• 1:00:27
  Like, do we just skip?
• 1:00:28
  Yeah.
• 1:00:29
  Yeah, let me let me introduce warm, hot air to the stink that is already here.
• 1:00:34
  Like
• 1:00:36
  Yeah, just ripe, dude.
• 1:00:37
  Am I even getting clean at that point?
• 1:00:39
  Like am I just spreading it around?
• 1:00:42
  Yeah, I would say that's the only that's the only thing that's like a for me.
• 1:00:46
  But other than that, I don't think there's anything that really bugs me too much.
• 1:00:49
  Yeah.
• 1:00:51
  Yeah, I mean that's fair.
• 1:00:52
  That's good.
• 1:00:52
  Like, you know, I think dude, you remember I and I I've I talked about on the show enough now where like I I would love for him to come on and defend himself.
• 1:01:01
  But you remember Chad Nicks?
• 1:01:03
  Yeah Yeah yeah.
• 1:01:05
  So dude I do too.
• 1:01:07
  I love that guy.
• 1:01:08
  He's so like what's crazy is he is like he's so con contemplative and like he's he is like super mature.
• 1:01:17
  Now, like I mean he was then too, but like he's like, yeah, I'm back in school, I'm studying to get this.
• 1:01:23
  I'm like, dang guy, you're like you're on your grind down there.
• 1:01:27
  But dude, he used to soak the bathroom counter and the floor and we're rooming together and it's just like everything's wet, dude.
• 1:01:37
  Like how did like how did everything get wet?
• 1:01:40
  Did you just not put the shower curtain over when you had the shower on?
• 1:01:45
  Like
• 1:01:46
  How does everything get wet?
• 1:01:47
  He goes, I don't know, man.
• 1:01:48
  It's just I'm just trying to dry off and sometimes it just drips and I'm like, bro, it's so like I you know, and it's probably just those like our brains aren't developed college
• 1:02:01
  days where, you know, he soaked everything and I was like probably a little O C D with literally everything in our dorm room.
• 1:02:11
  But, you know, it's it's it's preparing you for
• 1:02:15
  the future, I suppose, in some ways.
• 1:02:18
  Something I ask everybody, and I'm I'm I'm interested here, 'cause I I think this, you know, I d I don't know how this is gonna go.
• 1:02:25
  You know, you're not a you're not a shower snack guy, but have you ever performed a waffle stump?
• 1:02:31
  Bro, yes, yes, hundred percent.
• 1:02:32
  Summer accumulate I think was like I wanna say two thousand and eight.
• 1:02:37
  Two thousand and eight, two thousand nine.
• 1:02:39
  It was one of those summers.
• 1:02:41
  For sure.
• 1:02:42
  For sure.
• 1:02:44
  in summer camp shower, let it let it fly, huh?
• 1:02:47
  Yeah, bro.
• 1:02:48
  I think it was one of those like, dude, the they they were feeding us so much beans, dude, at the cafeteria that week.
• 1:02:55
  And so I was just body was just on full tilt all weekend.
• 1:02:58
  And I think I just let I I I let one loose, bro, and just like a hole.
• 1:03:02
  Like it was one of those where it surprised me.
• 1:03:03
  It wasn't like let loose shard a little bit.
• 1:03:05
  It was like let loose little little decent sized turd came out.
• 1:03:09
  Yeah, yeah, it's full sand.
• 1:03:10
  Like, dude, you get enough beans you get enough beans in the mix and like sneezes and coughs are dangerous.
• 1:03:17
  I mean, it it becomes a full human like paint splatter shotgun at that point.
• 1:03:22
  Like, it's it's truly Yeah.
• 1:03:25
  Yeah, but that's the only one.
• 1:03:26
  Have you have you done any sense?
• 1:03:28
  Have you dabbled?
• 1:03:30
  No, I don't think I have due to so I've got one, I've got one kind of similar to not really like a wobble snow, but dude, I was so Hayden was in I think it was like maybe
• 1:03:41
  Fiddler on the Roof like Carousel or it was like some classic play.
• 1:03:45
  He was at a play.
• 1:03:46
  And I I went and hung out with them when they were doing like ri rehearsals for a couple of the nights.
• 1:03:52
  And I was talking with one of the guys, like one of the high school guys, I was like probably in like fourth or fifth grade, and I was just like
• 1:03:58
  Boom, boom, and they were talking about what if somebody took a dump in the urinal?
• 1:04:01
  Blah, blah, blah.
• 1:04:02
  And everyone was laughing.
• 1:04:03
  I was like, you know what, dude?
• 1:04:04
  I'm gonna be the guy.
• 1:04:05
  I'm gonna be the funny guy.
• 1:04:06
  And I went in, took a dump in the urinal, came back out, but before I could go back and tell like the the couple of guys what I did, like someone comes out and it's like, yo, who
• 1:04:19
  pooped in the urinal?
• 1:04:21
  Like someone came out and was yelling it.
• 1:04:23
  Like to the whole, like everyone's there, guys, girls, casting.
• 1:04:26
  Advertising it.
• 1:04:28
  Yeah.
• 1:04:28
  And so like I just my brother was like, weren't you just didn't you just go in there?
• 1:04:32
  And I was like, Yeah, dude, I saw it in there and like so and so came out right before me.
• 1:04:36
  And so I blamed it on a guy.
• 1:04:37
  And for like years everyone thought this guy just went in there no reason, just dumped in the urinal and dipped.
• 1:04:44
  So that was like the first I got that was like the first it felt like a crime.
• 1:04:47
  It felt like a low key a crime that I committed framing somebody.
• 1:04:50
  But that's probably the closest to like a second waffle stomp I've got.
• 1:04:55
  Dude, dude, pooping in the urinal's crazy.
• 1:04:56
  I've I've not done it on purpose and just but it's definitely like I've Yeah.
• 1:05:05
  So sometimes like there's not a bathroom available and like what what begins is like I like when you're camping and stuff and you you poop in like the wag bag.
• 1:05:15
  We and one of the things that we'll do, like the the yarf sacks, these bad boys, they give you at the hospital.
• 1:05:22
  I mean, man, you can kinda butt gasket that and just go right into the the bag.
• 1:05:27
  But then I'm like carrying it around.
• 1:05:29
  Yeah.
• 1:05:30
  Where are you peeing where are you peeing at when that happens?
• 1:05:32
  You just tuck everything in there and roll?
• 1:05:34
  I try to yeah, no, I try to pee before I begin the solid portion.
• 1:05:38
  uh
• 1:05:39
  you go bag done.
• 1:05:41
  Yeah, there's a lot of sphincter control that happens and then like Okay.
• 1:05:46
  And so then you try to get most of the pee, and then you just go for the dump.
• 1:05:50
  But then like you you kind of tie this off or or like spin it off.
• 1:05:54
  And then it's like when you get back to like civilization, I mean you could dig a thing and bury it, but it's kind of a pain in the butt.
• 1:06:00
  But you can like, if you know it's like, it's about two hours out, like we'll just carry it in, like, dump it in the toilet when we get there, whatever, throw it in the trash.
• 1:06:07
  But this one we're like, there was no trash.
• 1:06:10
  And so we're like, well, we'll go in and join the toilet.
• 1:06:12
  And the toilets were like all like just like blocked off.
• 1:06:16
  And so I'm like, frick.
• 1:06:17
  So I just like tossed it down in the urnal.
• 1:06:19
  And this is like, well, I don't know.
• 1:06:22
  this is probably worse.
• 1:06:23
  I probably should just left on the ground.
• 1:06:25
  Some park ranger, you know, p some some par some park employee shows up and they're like, I'm done.
• 1:06:31
  Like, this is this is worse.
• 1:06:33
  this There's some dude getting paid twelve an hour, technically a contractor, no benefits.
• 1:06:40
  Yeah.
• 1:06:41
  Yeah, he just got out of a counseling session where his counselor's like, Hey, today's gonna be a better day.
• 1:06:45
  Today's gonna be a better day.
• 1:06:47
  It's like
• 1:06:51
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:06:52
  I don't know why I didn't just like throw it in a bush, but yeah, yeah.
• 1:06:56
  I've got a
• 1:06:56
  Question for you, dude.
• 1:06:57
  What's the gnarliest either story that you experienced, bathroom story, or just a legend that you heard?
• 1:07:04
  David.
• 1:07:04
  oh Craziest.
• 1:07:09
  You were two years older than me, yeah?
• 1:07:11
  Or one year, were you one year ahead of me?
• 1:07:13
  I think it was one.
• 1:07:14
  I think it was one ahead.
• 1:07:16
  One ahead.
• 1:07:16
  Okay.
• 1:07:17
  So you but still you still would have had interactions with like the just the the legends of Davidson that I never actually met, like some of the Garrett Grubbs and some of those.
• 1:07:27
  Okay.
• 1:07:29
  They were exiting like right as I was getting there.
• 1:07:33
  And I'll be honest, like I I think because I was a freshman and and a lot of them were seniors, you know, I never I I heard of some of the shenanigans that they got up to, but I
• 1:07:45
  I was never like a part of any of that stuff.
• 1:07:47
  Like I think Hayden did a really good job of protecting us, I for lack of a better way of saying it.
• 1:07:53
  He's like, come on, boys, you know.
• 1:07:56
  But but like still to this day, one of the one of the a couple of Randy like Davidson, so there was this kid, I don't know if you remember, I don't even care at this point.
• 1:08:04
  Do you remember John Kuzichev?
• 1:08:06
  Little little Russian kid.
• 1:08:07
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:08:09
  Yeah, he was track, right?
• 1:08:10
  Track team?
• 1:08:11
  Yeah, yeah, he did track.
• 1:08:12
  So yeah, he kept he kept parking in the like fire spot where where it's like yeah, reserved for like fire par fire department, emergency services, whatever.
• 1:08:24
  He kept parking there and then all the RAs would call like a dorm meeting and they would have this big dor meeting to be like, Hey, we have got to quit parking here.
• 1:08:34
  Whoever's doing it, please stop.
• 1:08:35
  And everybody knew it was John.
• 1:08:38
  And so this happened over and over.
• 1:08:40
  But then there was a handful of us that had like jobs.
• 1:08:43
  And if you missed those dorm like pow wows, you you had to go talk to student life or whatever down the hill because if you miss too many of them, you actually get fined.
• 1:08:52
  Like you get like a $25 like charge on your thing when you miss those, especially because they're emergency ones.
• 1:08:59
  And so we're like, well, shoot, like we worked a, you know, four hour shift, probably made
• 1:09:04
  At the time, you know, fifty, sixty bucks an hour and twenty-five dollars of it went to this because John can't figure out how to park his car.
• 1:09:09
  And so I remember we were all sitting there after one of these one night, and somebody, I I don't know whose idea it was, but somebody's like, hey, we're gonna go poop on his car.
• 1:09:20
  And we're all just like like sitting there.
• 1:09:22
  I was like, you what, we should do that.
• 1:09:24
  We should definitely do that.
• 1:09:26
  And I just remember it was like 12 guys just came from the just the bottom part of Davidson, and at one point
• 1:09:32
  Like I mean he's been on the show and talked about it, but A bads like spread over the hood like pooping.
• 1:09:39
  You got Brady Reds just like and people just peeing on this car pooping and the worst was I can't
• 1:09:47
  I think I bro, this sounds so familiar.
• 1:09:49
  I'm like picturing it frame by frame.
• 1:09:50
  I'm pretty sure I was there for this.
• 1:09:52
  I think you were there.
• 1:09:54
  You you would have been it.
• 1:09:55
  think I waited this.
• 1:09:56
  I think this is when I was actually living in the dorm second semester, right?
• 1:10:00
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:10:00
  It this has you I think you were there because but the the worst of it was, and I I don't remember whose turd it was, but somebody's turd, they pooped right on the windshield.
• 1:10:09
  Like and it just sat in the rain, just hit the car for like a w like three or four days and just it just rinsed this turd slowly down the windshield.
• 1:10:19
  Yep, yep.
• 1:10:20
  And kids are like walking past it to the gym.
• 1:10:24
  Yeah.
• 1:10:24
  Yeah, and and he was out of town on a on a cross country meet, so it just sat there too.
• 1:10:28
  It was like this is this is damning evidence.
• 1:10:31
  And then I I remember another was there was dude, like th they always said it was stomach flu, but I think I think they were partying, which like whatever.
• 1:10:40
  But there was guys would just come back and they would just throw up in the hallway.
• 1:10:45
  J I mean I mean it would they would just cover the hallway in in vomit.
• 1:10:48
  And it's like that's cool.
• 1:10:51
  You know, you
• 1:10:52
  there was the bath there was the bathroom one where someone threw up all over the bathroom.
• 1:10:56
  Yes.
• 1:10:57
  And then they
• 1:10:58
  Yes, that thing was destroyed.
• 1:11:01
  Yeah, bro.
• 1:11:01
  I I I'm not I won't name any well, I guess I could probably name some names.
• 1:11:04
  But uh so dude, I remember going in there and they just they didn't have any cleaner, everyone was not sober, and so they just started grabbing all of the mouthwash they could
• 1:11:15
  find and they were just dumping it all over the floor.
• 1:11:18
  They found a mop or like a towel or something, so they're just using a towel to like scrub around mouthwash on the ground.
• 1:11:25
  This is it was towards the end of Hayden being an RA because Hayden popped in.
• 1:11:30
  Like open the door, could smell it, see everybody's eyes.
• 1:11:34
  And he was just he just walks in, is like, shakes his head, walks out.
• 1:11:39
  Just that that that was the end of it.
• 1:11:40
  He was bro, I think it was like three or four weeks before graduation.
• 1:11:44
  He was like, dude, I'm about to graduate.
• 1:11:45
  I'm not dealing with this.
• 1:11:47
  This is this is not my mess.
• 1:11:49
  I d I remember the dude, I remember that bathtub.
• 1:11:52
  I now that you've Yeah, I remember they just like shower guys too.
• 1:11:56
  It's like happy birthday and they just kidnap you out of your bed and just stick you in the cold shower and hold you in there and
• 1:12:04
  Yeah, bro.
• 1:12:05
  Yeah.
• 1:12:05
  I luckily never I luckily never had one of those, dude.
• 1:12:08
  I I wasn't I th by the time I was like good friends with that group, I think it was like past my birthday at that point.
• 1:12:14
  And then I was out of the dorms after that.
• 1:12:16
  So I got lucky.
• 1:12:17
  But I do remember somebody somebody got thrown in.
• 1:12:19
  I forget who it was, but I I remember hearing screaming and then jumping in the shower and I was like, Hey, this isn't I'm I'm not gonna have to give a a witness testimony for this,
• 1:12:27
  am I?
• 1:12:28
  Yeah.
• 1:12:29
  Yeah.
• 1:12:29
  There's no police aren't gonna show up, are they?
• 1:12:31
  Like, are we good?
• 1:12:32
  Yeah, and I I think, dude, I honestly, 'cause the year after I got out of the dorms, the the bottom lobbies like flipped boy girl.
• 1:12:40
  And like and you know, whatever.
• 1:12:43
  Corbin made their choice, but you can't tell me the vibe was different.
• 1:12:46
  Like the same.
• 1:12:47
  It it like there there's no shot that you're gonna do any of that stuff when there's just like ladies right there and it's definitely like gonna get reported or you know.
• 1:12:58
  It it's just not gonna happen.
• 1:12:59
  Like
• 1:13:00
  Yeah.
• 1:13:00
  We we lost when when they split the dorms, I think that was my last semester in there, we lost all the gay magic that that we had in there, for sure.
• 1:13:08
  For sure.
• 1:13:09
  All that gay
• 1:13:10
  Do you remember just the do you remember just the absolute like ridiculous manpile that would happen in Gavin and Austin's room?
• 1:13:19
  Like that's some of the shadiest things I've ever been up to in my entire life, for sure.
• 1:13:23
  Dude, I I will say though, after like a rough day of like maybe you bombed a test, like the food of error mark was buns, like just everything like ching ching ching, you get a
• 1:13:32
  bad workout in, you you pull a muscle work, like you're just having a rough day, bro.
• 1:13:37
  Going into the room when it was like you, Chad Nix, Gav was it Gavin Lowe?
• 1:13:44
  Yeah, Gavin Lowe, Austin Kent.
• 1:13:46
  Every now and then you'd catch Travis out there, yeah.
• 1:13:49
  It
• 1:13:49
  bro.
• 1:13:50
  Travis with Cruise.
• 1:13:51
  Walking into a room with all those guys in it, just turn around your whole day, bro.
• 1:13:54
  Just I'm laughing from the minute I get in there till I till the minute I step out, dude.
• 1:13:58
  Such a good group.
• 1:14:02
  Yeah.
• 1:14:02
  Yeah.
• 1:14:03
  It was I I look back like I I tell people, you know, no no school is perfect, but there were, dude, some of the best moments of just like the ridiculous shenanigans.
• 1:14:13
  This is like Yeah.
• 1:14:15
  Yeah.
• 1:14:16
  It was it was definitely special times.
• 1:14:18
  Well, Micah, I I don't I I have that's all of the questions I have.
• 1:14:24
  I wanna give you an opportunity if you have any like
• 1:14:27
  bathroom stories or or we could always do a part two in the future where, you know, I've got more questions and stuff too.
• 1:14:33
  But I just saw we've been almost at this an hour and a half and it's late where you are at.
• 1:14:38
  So do you have any like bathroom stories off the top of your head to kind of move to close?
• 1:14:44
  And then I have one last thing to ask you.
• 1:14:47
  Yeah, dude.
• 1:14:48
  So I've got I've got only really like one solid dump story, bro.
• 1:14:53
  My family moved to Singapore when I was like like second half of my sophomore year in high school.
• 1:14:59
  Okay.
• 1:14:59
  And we're in in Singapore, it costs so much to own a car.
• 1:15:03
  Like, let's say you buy a car for like thirty, thirty grand, then you've got to spend like the the paperwork and licensing and all the stuff you gotta get to drive that car is like
• 1:15:13
  another thirty grand.
• 1:15:16
  then like plus taxes.
• 1:15:17
  So dude, like an average little like money saver, like a I don't even know what they're called, like a Chevy Spark or like a little just a little a little dinker to drive around.
• 1:15:27
  Like you're spending like 60 you're spending like 60 grand minimum for something like that.
• 1:15:31
  At least that that's how it was when I was there.
• 1:15:32
  Because of like import costs and like all the taxes they had.
• 1:15:35
  So most people didn't have a car.
• 1:15:37
  Like most of my buddies, parents and friends, like
• 1:15:40
  If they were wealthy, they normally had like a car or two.
• 1:15:43
  But like most people were just like, we're gonna save the money.
• 1:15:45
  And the bus system is so efficient there that it really didn't like it, it didn't take much more time to ride by bus.
• 1:15:52
  So we would take bus everywhere.
• 1:15:53
  As my first day of school at this new high school, international community school.
• 1:15:57
  Sounds like a prison program.
• 1:15:59
  But we like so first day of school, my the whole time I lived in Singapore, my stomach was like on edge.
• 1:16:05
  It was something about I loved the food, it was amazing, but
• 1:16:08
  Like the oils they cooked with, or something my stomach just didn't like.
• 1:16:11
  So I honestly, bro, probably like a third of a time I lived in Singapore, I just had diarrhea.
• 1:16:15
  I like I thought it was just a normal part of life.
• 1:16:17
  And so I'm getting ready to jump on the bus.
• 1:16:20
  It it pulls a little far from the curb.
• 1:16:22
  And so I'm doing it's like raining out.
• 1:16:23
  I'm like, I'm gonna do a little hop and I'm gonna avoid the puddle.
• 1:16:26
  I also have the farts.
• 1:16:27
  My stomach's already reacting negatively to the food, the local food.
• 1:16:31
  And so I jumped and I had to give some extra effort because I was still big by the time I got there.
• 1:16:36
  I lost a lot of weight.
• 1:16:38
  like living there and just walking everywhere, eating eating cleaner food.
• 1:16:42
  But jump onto the bus.
• 1:16:44
  But with that effort I gave, I farted.
• 1:16:46
  But the fart turned into a sharp mid jump, dude.
• 1:16:49
  So I'm just whoo just splatter right right in my underwear.
• 1:16:54
  Doors closed.
• 1:16:55
  Like I can't really do anything.
• 1:16:56
  I'm gonna be late if I if I get out of the next stop, go back to the house change.
• 1:17:00
  I just I don't want to be late my first day.
• 1:17:01
  So I get to school, I have to go in the bathroom, clean up
• 1:17:05
  Just throw the underwear away and I just I had to free ball my whole first day of high school in Singapore, dude.
• 1:17:12
  I was just praying.
• 1:17:13
  I was like, I don't know how they are here.
• 1:17:14
  They're not American, so I'm probably safe.
• 1:17:16
  I just pray I don't get pants today.
• 1:17:17
  That's like worst case scenario.
• 1:17:20
  Yeah, I you know, I dude, that's crazy.
• 1:17:24
  Yeah, I you know, I don't think Singaporeans are like hot on the pants in game.
• 1:17:29
  I and a little more respect for each other.
• 1:17:34
  But like it's just how terrifying is the like, okay, I I have diarrheaed, and now I do not have layer one of defense.
• 1:17:46
  Like there that's gone.
• 1:17:47
  It we've burned through that.
• 1:17:49
  And I'm gonna go the rest of this day and just on a prayer.
• 1:17:53
  Yeah, bro, dude, it was that I was I went to the bathroom in between every class.
• 1:17:57
  Like I if I even felt like my stomach was even rumbling a little bit, it like, Hey, I gotta use the restroom.
• 1:18:02
  Like I was I was not taking a risk.
• 1:18:03
  Yeah, 'cause you've you've got your one line one line of defense is gone, bro.
• 1:18:07
  Yeah, I was sweating.
• 1:18:07
  That was that was like a a stressful day for sure for a first day.
• 1:18:11
  That's crazy, man.
• 1:18:12
  Dude, public buses are yeah.
• 1:18:16
  One of my I I used to mentor kids in Salem.
• 1:18:19
  And one of the things we would do is like, hey, I'm gonna teach you like how to how to take public transportation, especially when they get to high school.
• 1:18:24
  So we'd get on the cherry buses in Salem and like I show them how to get off and here's where you go to your house and walk this far.
• 1:18:31
  And this one kid, I my I was supposed to teach him how to get to downtown because his mom worked there.
• 1:18:36
  And so like we're going and it's going by a union gospel mission downtown there.
• 1:18:41
  And there's just this dude like standing at the bus stop with his wiener fully out, just peeing, but he's like windmill and pee.
• 1:18:50
  And it's like and my mentor kid, you know, it's this ninth, tenth grade kid, he's like fully staring at it.
• 1:18:57
  Like it's the like he can't look away.
• 1:19:00
  And I'm like, just stop.
• 1:19:02
  You you've gotta quit.
• 1:19:03
  Like I like this, how is now I've walked this kid into like the worst.
• 1:19:10
  sexual crime interact like what are like no bus driver please keep going don't stop of course he pulls up stops the guy puts it and like gets on I'm like this guy get on the bus
• 1:19:21
  right now I just watched him full on like helicopter pee and now he's gonna just get on the bus like nothing happened and sit like and the kids like you know the guy sitting four
• 1:19:33
  or five seats up he's like Did hey did you see hit did you see hit I'm like Stop
• 1:19:39
  Like shut up.
• 1:19:40
  Like, yeah, yes, everybody, everybody saw it.
• 1:19:44
  Also, he's right there.
• 1:19:45
  So let's just not talk about this until we are off this bus, okay?
• 1:19:49
  And then maybe never.
• 1:19:51
  Do yeah, public transportation's wild.
• 1:19:53
  Micah, do you do you have any bathroom wisdom that that you want to leave folks with as we kind of move to close?
• 1:20:01
  Do you have anything to like share with the people of like just wise advice when it comes to the bathroom?
• 1:20:07
  Dude, uh I I would say like the only thing is I used to really like going to the bathroom, I would say for the first like twenty seven, twenty-eight years of my life, like it was a
• 1:20:16
  gamble.
• 1:20:16
  Like, is this gonna be a brutal experience?
• 1:20:18
  Is this gonna be pleasant and quick?
• 1:20:19
  But bro, if you start getting your gut in check, start getting the weight down, start managing your diet, like that'll dude, I I I rarely go to the restroom and it's a bad
• 1:20:27
  experience now.
• 1:20:28
  Like I don't I used to like dread going to like, dang it, I gotta go to the bathroom.
• 1:20:31
  We got hated it.
• 1:20:32
  But now it's quick, it's easy.
• 1:20:34
  I use wet wipes, I'm in and out.
• 1:20:36
  My butts that my butt health is amazing.
• 1:20:38
  So yeah, I would say like for sure diet makes bathroom experiences just night and day difference.
• 1:20:45
  Absolutely.
• 1:20:45
  Yeah.
• 1:20:46
  I you it's one of those things where like I was a diarrhea monster for the bulk of my probably like middle school through end of college.
• 1:20:52
  And like what and when my doctor, he's like, Bro, you should eat vegetables.
• 1:20:57
  Like, it's not a bad idea.
• 1:20:59
  Um, one of the things I was scared of is I was like, I already have diarrhea so often, like if I introduce this much fiber to the mix, like I'm I'm gonna it's gonna be bad.
• 1:21:10
  Like I might die.
• 1:21:11
  And
• 1:21:13
  It did the opposite, dude.
• 1:21:14
  It's like it's like you said it like it it regulated it to the point where now it's like, yeah, I have a normal bathroom regimen where I might go once or twice a day.
• 1:21:22
  And it's like I I used to go like six times a day, man, and it was just Yeah.
• 1:21:28
  I thought it was normal.
• 1:21:29
  I thought it
• 1:21:30
  did too.
• 1:21:31
  I did too, bro.
• 1:21:32
  Yeah.
• 1:21:33
  Dude, I'll okay, one one more, dude.
• 1:21:35
  So Singapore, my stomach was upset and I was just sharting all over the place.
• 1:21:39
  We have we have a uh mission trip.
• 1:21:43
  We do a mission trip every year with that school.
• 1:21:45
  And so the first year we went to India.
• 1:21:47
  And so I'm just thinking, I'm like, dude, my stomach's already on tilt.
• 1:21:50
  Like India's just gonna cut.
• 1:21:51
  Like I might die in India.
• 1:21:53
  I might die from from losing too much fluids or something.
• 1:21:56
  Bro, I went to India.
• 1:21:59
  It's like it is now is the greatest week of dumps I've ever had in my life.
• 1:22:03
  Like on schedule, one time a day, massive, quick, clean, easy.
• 1:22:08
  And we're eating like super spicy food.
• 1:22:10
  We weren't eat like we were eating a lot of spicy food, but just because I think it's so simple.
• 1:22:15
  Like they're just using like spices, vegetables, rice, and like some chicken.
• 1:22:21
  Just super I I think that it was just so so much cleaner because they weren't using all the oils.
• 1:22:25
  They weren't using a bunch of di like cooking a bunch of fatty stuff, like
• 1:22:28
  Everything was lean and it was just like rice, curry, and a little bit of chicken every night.
• 1:22:32
  And then I think the flat having some of the flat bread too.
• 1:22:35
  But dude, that was in India was like probably the best week of dumps I've ever had.
• 1:22:39

• 1:22:40
  Dude, thank God for India, you know?
• 1:22:42
  It's like Yeah, dude.
• 1:22:44

• 1:22:46
  Dude, yeah, we I think, you know, I think and then I sometimes I wonder, you know, because like if I eat if I eat like a particularly like robust Mexican dish, it's like, huh,
• 1:22:58
  things are fiery.
• 1:23:00
  And I'm just like, man, how do they have to they have to they have to ease themselves into that.
• 1:23:06
  Like there's no way
• 1:23:08
  I mean little kids, how do they just grow up and they're just like, Yeah, this is normal.
• 1:23:12
  Like my like my butthole burns and that's normal.
• 1:23:15
  Like it they have to adapt.
• 1:23:17
  And right yeah.
• 1:23:20
  Internet is scary sometimes.
• 1:23:23
  Yeah, when you start on it from when you're young, but I'm the same way, bro.
• 1:23:27
  If I'm like there's even times where the green the green sauce at like a Mexican, if it's like legit Mexican food, like in even the green sauce has a kick, like even the green
• 1:23:36
  sauce will d absolutely destroy me.
• 1:23:38
  Like that's some of the worst acid reflux.
• 1:23:40
  I love Mexican food's like top two, top three.
• 1:23:43
  It's it's right up there with like Indian food and then like Asian, like Korean or Japanese food with me.
• 1:23:47
  Um but it torches me, bro.
• 1:23:49
  And I a problem big part of it's probably like Tex Mex like American Mexican.
• 1:23:54
  Americanized stuff, like everything made gets made fattier, I feel like, but but yeah, bro, I feel the same way.
