Latest / bit of a Rambler / 034 Ramble On
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello. My name is Kai, and I am a bit
- 0:03Speaker 1: of a rambler. I like to travel, learn and tell stories.
- 0:06Speaker 1: And I'm going to ramble on for number sixteen. Don't
- 0:10Speaker 1: know why I said that. If it's not you will
- 0:12Speaker 1: know from the title of the episode. I won't. This
- 0:15Speaker 1: was another good week. I like Panama City, but something
- 0:20Speaker 1: creepy happened, and I want to talk about that up
- 0:23Speaker 1: top and just get it out of the way so
- 0:24Speaker 1: I can talk about all the other cool stuff. I
- 0:27Speaker 1: was walking along and I heard someone beeping and honking
- 0:32Speaker 1: from the road and I looked over. It was some
- 0:35Speaker 1: old guy and it was pouring rain for a couple days,
- 0:42Speaker 1: and I was just walking in the rain because I'm
- 0:43Speaker 1: weird and I like to walk in the rain. I
- 0:45Speaker 1: don't really mind if it's raining while I walk around,
- 0:50Speaker 1: have my hat, my earphones are protected. I can just
- 0:52Speaker 1: listen to podcasts and walk in some rain. Anyway, this
- 0:55Speaker 1: guy stopped and I thought he needed help because he
- 1:00Speaker 1: old and frail, and he asked me if I needed
- 1:04Speaker 1: a ride, and I was like, I'm going up right
- 1:07Speaker 1: straight down this road. He's like, yeah, okay, come on in,
- 1:11Speaker 1: and seeing him, I was like, something's wrong. But he's
- 1:15Speaker 1: not dangerous. And let me say, in like Thailand, Vietnam,
- 1:20Speaker 1: people give me rides very common there, and I talk
- 1:24Speaker 1: to people a lot. I am a pretty good judge
- 1:29Speaker 1: of character when I'm in When I feel danger I
- 1:31Speaker 1: don't go near a situation. But when I feel a
- 1:34Speaker 1: weird or yeah, weird situation, I usually poke my head
- 1:39Speaker 1: inside and I'm curious. And this guy was weird but
- 1:44Speaker 1: didn't feel dangerous, and I was like, yeah, sure. I
- 1:46Speaker 1: also don't get into cars with strangers ever, and I
- 1:49Speaker 1: don't recommend anybody does, but here I did that. So
- 1:53Speaker 1: I got into the car and I was like, this
- 1:56Speaker 1: is so weird. Something's weird here. And when he looked
- 2:02Speaker 1: at me, I was like, oh, he's a creep. And
- 2:05Speaker 1: then he put out his hand in like a weird
- 2:09Speaker 1: way to you know, ostensibly shake my hand, but he
- 2:13Speaker 1: put it way too low, like right above my crotch,
- 2:17Speaker 1: so that if you shook his hand normally, it would
- 2:19Speaker 1: go down and he would touch my crotch. And I
- 2:22Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is a creepy old man trying
- 2:24Speaker 1: to have sex with young men, well younger than he was.
- 2:28Speaker 1: He was like sixty something. I don't know, but As
- 2:32Speaker 1: soon as he did that weird too low outstretched hand,
- 2:36Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I'm clocking what's going on here?
- 2:40Speaker 1: And I took his hand and shook it up and
- 2:42Speaker 1: raised it and then said, hey, what's your name? I
- 2:46Speaker 1: will be getting out of this car very soon. I
- 2:49Speaker 1: didn't say that. This was all like unspoken, but he
- 2:52Speaker 1: could tell, like as soon as I shook his hand,
- 2:54Speaker 1: I think that things weren't gonna go his perverted way
- 2:59Speaker 1: creepy away. And his car was dirty, and it had
- 3:03Speaker 1: like a seat a seat cover folded over on the seat,
- 3:07Speaker 1: the passenger seat that I sat down in, with newspapers everywhere,
- 3:11Speaker 1: and it didn't smell that inside. But it was just
- 3:13Speaker 1: an old hoard's car. Nothing about the situation was comfortable.
- 3:18Speaker 1: And again, don't ever get into cars with strangers. This
- 3:22Speaker 1: is just a choice I make now and then to
- 3:25Speaker 1: do things that might seem dangerous. So we drive forward
- 3:29Speaker 1: half a block and he stops at a red light,
- 3:34Speaker 1: and then he asks me when the last time I
- 3:36Speaker 1: had sex was, and I said something vague but kind
- 3:40Speaker 1: of answering. Panama has beautiful women, and I go on
- 3:43Speaker 1: dates with women, just so he knew I was not
- 3:46Speaker 1: interested in him at all, and then he nodded and
- 3:50Speaker 1: was silent for twenty seconds and then so I can
- 3:53Speaker 1: just drop you off up there, and I was like, yep,
- 3:55Speaker 1: that sounds great to me. And he pulled over after
- 3:59Speaker 1: a couple of streets into this hotel drive area and said,
- 4:04Speaker 1: I live right around here. Do you want to come in?
- 4:07Speaker 1: And I was like nope, bye, and I got out
- 4:11Speaker 1: of that car and I continued on my day. But ugh,
- 4:17Speaker 1: it was so gross. And I'm a young, fairly physically
- 4:23Speaker 1: fit man, so I don't have to deal with this
- 4:27Speaker 1: very often, and it wouldn't have been so bad if
- 4:29Speaker 1: they were just straight up more honest, but like the weird, curvy,
- 4:35Speaker 1: creepy way he has to ask. And I feel like
- 4:39Speaker 1: women must feel like this constantly, because I vicariously feel
- 4:49Speaker 1: disgusted when guys talk to me about women in disrespectful
- 4:58Speaker 1: or objectifying ways, and because they assume, like, h, you
- 5:03Speaker 1: think women are objects? Also, right I do? Or that
- 5:06Speaker 1: crazy lady i've met who is gone, which is fantastic
- 5:10Speaker 1: to report she's not here, the one who told me
- 5:12Speaker 1: she was racist. She must have assumed I was racist
- 5:16Speaker 1: and just wanted to share her racism a lot of
- 5:19Speaker 1: guys who have not great terrible views of women must
- 5:24Speaker 1: assume that I at least approve of their views or
- 5:29Speaker 1: won't directly contradict their views and say something rude or
- 5:34Speaker 1: gross to me about a woman, and I feel uncomfortable.
- 5:40Speaker 1: But I don't even have to deal with that. On
- 5:42Speaker 1: the other side, I'm not a woman. It must be
- 5:45Speaker 1: so terrible to be a woman in so many societies,
- 5:52Speaker 1: maybe all societies, because men are relentless and so often
- 6:00Speaker 1: unaware of how blatantly they make their designs on women known.
- 6:08Speaker 1: I feel like everybody is unaware in one way or another,
- 6:11Speaker 1: Like people don't really understand how their life works, and
- 6:14Speaker 1: they don't examine core integral parts of their lives very often,
- 6:20Speaker 1: and so they just live with certain habits until they
- 6:23Speaker 1: die because they don't examine themselves. But thinking of this interplay,
- 6:29Speaker 1: but that's why it was good that I had this
- 6:32Speaker 1: disgusting encounter, because I have to remember that this crappy
- 6:37Speaker 1: encounter I dealt with once is something most women deal
- 6:42Speaker 1: with every day, multiple times a day. And I know
- 6:45Speaker 1: it happens because guys will talk to me about verbally
- 6:53Speaker 1: sexually assaulting women or do it in front of me
- 6:55Speaker 1: because they're like, well, guys are okay with it, and
- 6:58Speaker 1: it doesn't happen constantly. But the thing is I might
- 7:02Speaker 1: go days without noticing, but it's happening all around all
- 7:07Speaker 1: the time. So Pervy creep Man was my reminder to
- 7:13Speaker 1: respect different people. And on that note, we can move
- 7:19Speaker 1: on because speaking of different lifestyles, I heard about Dix
- 7:25Speaker 1: the Musical, which is already a pretty funny name for
- 7:29Speaker 1: the movie, and it's a musical about these two jerks.
- 7:35Speaker 1: But the title cards are this was bravely written by
- 7:38Speaker 1: two gay men, and then the second title card is
- 7:41Speaker 1: something like gay men have never written anything before this movie.
- 7:47Speaker 1: And it starts out really funny, and it just keeps
- 7:50Speaker 1: getting funnier for like half the movie, and then it
- 7:53Speaker 1: gets surreal and weird. But I still watch the whole
- 8:00Speaker 1: movie and really liked it. I recommend Dix the Musical
- 8:02Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. It's very far out of my bizarre
- 8:07Speaker 1: tastes and understanding of gay culture or anything like that
- 8:14Speaker 1: as a straight guy. But they're right about the two
- 8:17Speaker 1: main straight characters, and the writers are playing the two
- 8:20Speaker 1: main straight characters even though the writers themselves are gay.
- 8:24Speaker 1: And it's just a really funny look at corporate culture
- 8:28Speaker 1: in America and how men act. And Megan d Stallion
- 8:35Speaker 1: is in it, and Megan Malally's in it. I didn't
- 8:38Speaker 1: even notice that two Megan's Nick Offerman's there with his
- 8:41Speaker 1: wife in one of the scenes, which is funny. I mean,
- 8:44Speaker 1: it's not funny, it's just cool that they're both in
- 8:46Speaker 1: the same scene together. I guess Nathan Lane. It's full
- 8:50Speaker 1: of famous people. But as soon as Nathan Lane, like
- 8:54Speaker 1: when Megan Malally is introduced and we get her song,
- 8:57Speaker 1: there's one line at the end and you're like, oh,
- 8:59Speaker 1: that's kind of weird. Is that literal? And then Nathan
- 9:04Speaker 1: Lane starts singing and the movie's like, yeah, it's literal
- 9:08Speaker 1: and weird, and and then the movie just goes crazy.
- 9:15Speaker 1: It's not my favorite musical. I'm not gonna watch it
- 9:17Speaker 1: twenty times, like I watched Cannibal the Musical twenty times.
- 9:21Speaker 1: But it was fun to see, and if nothing else,
- 9:26Speaker 1: it was constantly surprising, and there was else. Actually it
- 9:30Speaker 1: was funny. It was extremely creative and yet extremely surprising.
- 9:36Speaker 1: I did not guess where. I had no idea where
- 9:39Speaker 1: they were going from one minute to the next. After
- 9:43Speaker 1: like ten minutes. I think for like maybe ten to
- 9:45Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, I sort of got the story, and then
- 9:49Speaker 1: after that I was like, what the fuck is happening?
- 9:52Speaker 1: Minute to minute, I'm just remembering some of the scenes.
- 9:56Speaker 1: I recommend Dix the Musical from twenty twenty three. I
- 9:59Speaker 1: also I love that the writers are the stars of
- 10:04Speaker 1: the movie. It's so much fun to watch them both,
- 10:06Speaker 1: and it's really funny to see them both acting as
- 10:10Speaker 1: straight men but have obvious homosexual affectations. It's just like
- 10:16Speaker 1: a man wearing a bear suit pretending to act like
- 10:19Speaker 1: what he thinks bears act like. Is that a good analogy.
- 10:23Speaker 1: I don't know. The movie's really funny. I would recommend
- 10:26Speaker 1: watching it. I also love musicals, but I really haven't
- 10:29Speaker 1: seen that many. I've seen Cannibal the Musical like twenty times,
- 10:32Speaker 1: and then I've seen a few I like, like I
- 10:34Speaker 1: love the ending musical scene and this is the end.
- 10:37Speaker 1: But I don't watch a lot of full musicals. Maybe
- 10:41Speaker 1: that's what I'll start doing after I finish all these
- 10:43Speaker 1: Resident Evils. I'll start looking for all the musicals people
- 10:47Speaker 1: like and watch some of those because I usually like
- 10:50Speaker 1: them a lot. Did I mention that I found out
- 10:53Speaker 1: cedra's were ciders. And I found out, I mean looked
- 10:57Speaker 1: at it for a second. I was drinking these bubbly
- 11:00Speaker 1: apple wines because they have all these sidras here in
- 11:03Speaker 1: the supermarkets, and then I was like, man, this is good.
- 11:07Speaker 1: This is just like cider. And it was already like
- 11:09Speaker 1: the third one for a few weeks I had tried,
- 11:12Speaker 1: and then I was like, oh, they're called cidra. That
- 11:15Speaker 1: must be insider. So I finally realized that cidras are
- 11:19Speaker 1: ciders here from thinking about it for half a second
- 11:22Speaker 1: but having already drank like three of them and knowing
- 11:25Speaker 1: they were a thing. So it's still the rainy season
- 11:28Speaker 1: because it poured for the last forty eight hours and
- 11:31Speaker 1: I went out walking in the rain and it's awesome.
- 11:36Speaker 1: It's so cool, like there's I love rainy seasons, and
- 11:39Speaker 1: I like how clean cities are when it rains too,
- 11:42Speaker 1: So everything's clean in this really nice, big, multicultural, sprawling
- 11:47Speaker 1: city and there's rain, so I'm having a great time
- 11:51Speaker 1: and everything's green. Just a nice place. This is a
- 11:54Speaker 1: nice city. Oh Dicks the musical. Okay, when I was
- 11:57Speaker 1: watching Dix the musical, the Landlord walked in on me
- 12:01Speaker 1: because it was my last day with my checkout day
- 12:04Speaker 1: for the first month, and I had already paid for
- 12:07Speaker 1: the second month. But I don't always lock my door,
- 12:11Speaker 1: and I didn't while I was watching this movie. But
- 12:15Speaker 1: my studio is set up on the floor. I prefer
- 12:18Speaker 1: sitting on the floor for my spy. I don't like
- 12:21Speaker 1: most chairs, and I borrow two chairs. I have this
- 12:25Speaker 1: little studio set up so that laptop is on one
- 12:29Speaker 1: of the chairs with its back to the door. So
- 12:32Speaker 1: she walked in and just watched me watching a laptop
- 12:37Speaker 1: in this tiny bedsheet studio that I made to dampen
- 12:45Speaker 1: some of the sound echoes, speaking of which I totally
- 12:48Speaker 1: forgot to set it up until just now so it
- 12:51Speaker 1: might be a little more echo in the first thirteen
- 12:54Speaker 1: minutes of this episode. And she came in, probably to
- 12:57Speaker 1: get the keys because it was an Airbnb checkout day,
- 13:00Speaker 1: and she just stopped and stared at me, and I
- 13:04Speaker 1: just looked up at her, and she said, I thought
- 13:07Speaker 1: you moved out, and I said, oh no, I already
- 13:11Speaker 1: bought my second month. She's like, oh okay. I thought, okay,
- 13:14Speaker 1: bye and closed the door. And I didn't even think
- 13:19Speaker 1: of this actually until just now. Maybe she thought I
- 13:21Speaker 1: was watching porn or something, but I had a bunch
- 13:23Speaker 1: of food around me, so probably not what I did
- 13:26Speaker 1: think of. Because I was watching Dix the Musical at
- 13:30Speaker 1: one of the crazier parts of an already very crazy movie,
- 13:33Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, she had walked in and I
- 13:35Speaker 1: was watching this part of the movie. What would she
- 13:38Speaker 1: have thought I was watching. I don't want to spoil
- 13:42Speaker 1: any part of the movie, and you should watch it
- 13:44Speaker 1: and then imagine to yourself if someone walked in on
- 13:48Speaker 1: pretty much any scene after the first third of the movie.
- 13:54Speaker 1: There are parts to walk in on in the first
- 13:56Speaker 1: third of the movie, but they're not insane. But the
- 14:00Speaker 1: last two thirds of the movie mostly is insane. It's
- 14:03Speaker 1: most of it's insane, and I just like imagining what
- 14:06Speaker 1: she would have thought if she had walked in and
- 14:08Speaker 1: seen any of these scenes that I'm not spoiling. You
- 14:12Speaker 1: go watch it. I've been working on more Star Wars
- 14:16Speaker 1: parody stuff like Luke Skinwalker and Hans Solo Soulo like
- 14:21Speaker 1: He's a Ghost. The t shirts are available under Kook
- 14:26Speaker 1: Poems at Tea Public and I am really like the
- 14:30Speaker 1: new one I'm working on it has to do with
- 14:32Speaker 1: the Lea, but I'm not gonna talk about it until
- 14:36Speaker 1: I finish it, because every time I talk about a
- 14:39Speaker 1: project before it's finished, I stop working on the project.
- 14:42Speaker 1: I don't know what that is, but I think it's
- 14:46Speaker 1: like reifying that I know it's gonna be done or
- 14:48Speaker 1: it can be done. And I get very bored with
- 14:51Speaker 1: a project once I have finished it, or I lose
- 14:54Speaker 1: interest in a project once I finished it. I don't
- 14:57Speaker 1: really worry about continually fiddling and making it perfect and
- 15:01Speaker 1: perfect her. But it'll be up soon, and it's probably
- 15:05Speaker 1: my favorite one so far, the first layo one I've
- 15:08Speaker 1: done too. Oh no, it's the second layo one, because
- 15:10Speaker 1: there's Lea or Kana, she's an orc. I'm really glad
- 15:15Speaker 1: to be doing something artistic again, though visually artistic penmanship
- 15:23Speaker 1: belie artistic. I'd just been working on a lot of
- 15:26Speaker 1: audio stuff lately and watching a bunch of TV shows,
- 15:31Speaker 1: playing video games, and I realized I needed something else,
- 15:34Speaker 1: like I was bored with all of those, and I
- 15:37Speaker 1: hadn't made a T shirt design in a while, so
- 15:41Speaker 1: I started drying this layo one that I have the
- 15:43Speaker 1: idea for in my head. And oh it's coming out
- 15:47Speaker 1: just how I wanted it too. I'll probably be done
- 15:50Speaker 1: soon and then next week I can tell you about it.
- 15:54Speaker 1: I was walking along Santikostura, the Pacific coast of Panama City,
- 15:59Speaker 1: and there's this long boardwalk kind of thing. It's a
- 16:04Speaker 1: concrete walk, but there's this long coastline you can walk along.
- 16:08Speaker 1: That's where those crab eating raccoons the mapaches are And
- 16:13Speaker 1: I'm looking for crocodile. Still still haven't found any, but
- 16:17Speaker 1: I'm still looking, and luckily this time I did see
- 16:20Speaker 1: something else. And at first I thought I saw a crocodile,
- 16:23Speaker 1: but that was just a tire tread, exposed tire tread
- 16:26Speaker 1: in the low tide of a lake. I believe. I
- 16:29Speaker 1: don't think it was a crocodile. But I did see
- 16:31Speaker 1: something weird and windy and curvy and obviously under its
- 16:36Speaker 1: own power, and it was maybe thirty meters away, and
- 16:41Speaker 1: I was just watching this big white thing, like person sized,
- 16:46Speaker 1: white curvy thing go around, and I was like, what
- 16:49Speaker 1: the heck is that? Because it didn't look like the
- 16:53Speaker 1: fin of a fish or even a shark, because it
- 16:56Speaker 1: wasn't rigid. It was like waving and it was bright white,
- 17:00Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of bright white sea animals
- 17:04Speaker 1: because that's not super great camouflage, especially up in the
- 17:08Speaker 1: what's it called that first thirty ten feet of sunlight water?
- 17:14Speaker 1: You loving this scientific flailing anyway, it kept moving around
- 17:18Speaker 1: and curving and twisting and moving, and I was like,
- 17:20Speaker 1: that's definitely an animal. Is that a crocodile, because that's
- 17:23Speaker 1: the only animal I can think of. It was not,
- 17:27Speaker 1: but it was a manta ray and that was super cool.
- 17:31Speaker 1: I took several videos of it before I realized what
- 17:34Speaker 1: it was, and when it clicked, I was like, oh
- 17:36Speaker 1: my gosh. And it was a huge, you know, like
- 17:39Speaker 1: four or five foot wingspan manta ray diving and twirling
- 17:45Speaker 1: around on the coastline. I don't know what it was doing,
- 17:47Speaker 1: if it was trying to eat something, or maybe escape
- 17:50Speaker 1: a shark into the shallows or escape a crocodile into
- 17:53Speaker 1: the shallows, but it stayed there for a long time
- 17:56Speaker 1: and I could see it just winding around and the
- 17:59Speaker 1: shadows going back back and forth along the coastline. That's
- 18:02Speaker 1: probably what it was. It was probably trying to evade
- 18:04Speaker 1: a predator because it was super close to like a foot.
- 18:07Speaker 1: It was a foot off the sand. It was right
- 18:09Speaker 1: up there, so it must have felt safer in the shallows.
- 18:14Speaker 1: And I watched it until it went out back into
- 18:17Speaker 1: the sea, but it was right on the coast for
- 18:21Speaker 1: a few minutes, and I just got to watch this dancing,
- 18:25Speaker 1: twirling big manta ray. It was super cool and it
- 18:30Speaker 1: was a new animal I hadn't seen, and I was
- 18:33Speaker 1: happy to see him again. I saw the mapachs again.
- 18:37Speaker 1: They someone like leaves cat food out in this one
- 18:40Speaker 1: spot of the wall along the Pacific coast, and the
- 18:44Speaker 1: mapaches just you know, trundled over and started eating all
- 18:48Speaker 1: the cat food, and the cat seemed fine with it too.
- 18:52Speaker 1: They were eating next to the mapaches, and there's just
- 18:55Speaker 1: a couple of species eating food together, which was cool
- 18:58Speaker 1: to see. There's this kid, so you can feed the mapachs.
- 19:02Speaker 1: The crabating raccoons here, they eat human food and they
- 19:05Speaker 1: are very tame, so you see people feeding them all
- 19:08Speaker 1: the time here, and even kids. So there was this
- 19:13Speaker 1: one little boy feeding like a cheeto or something to
- 19:16Speaker 1: one of the raccoons on the wall, and the raccoon
- 19:19Speaker 1: like walked over and sniffed it and was kind of
- 19:21Speaker 1: slow picking it up, and the kid just snatched the
- 19:24Speaker 1: cheeto back and shoved it in his mouth. And his
- 19:27Speaker 1: grandma saw him, and she like slapped his hand and
- 19:30Speaker 1: tried to get it out of his mouth, but he
- 19:32Speaker 1: was already like chomping down on it. The raccoon didn't
- 19:34Speaker 1: even care. He was very chill. I was kind of
- 19:37Speaker 1: worried that since he took food away from the raccoon
- 19:39Speaker 1: it would attack or something, but they are completely used
- 19:44Speaker 1: to people. They I haven't seen one upset yet one mapach.
- 19:48Speaker 1: They just be cool. And all the locals know this
- 19:53Speaker 1: because they walk up and give food to them, like
- 19:56Speaker 1: with their hands, and they're apparently not afraid of rabi's
- 19:59Speaker 1: or anything, because everybody does, even kids. There was a
- 20:02Speaker 1: little girl and she had crackers, and she was with
- 20:05Speaker 1: her parents, and she was just handing cracker after cracker
- 20:09Speaker 1: to these crabating raccoons, and the raccoons gently reached out
- 20:14Speaker 1: and took the cracker nimbly from the girl's hand and
- 20:17Speaker 1: munched it, and then reached out and took the next one.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Like they're very dainty and calm little creatures. I went
- 20:25Speaker 1: to Casada Pizza, which I've been wanting to go to
- 20:28Speaker 1: ever since I saw it. Is this big round building
- 20:31Speaker 1: and it says they have pizzas and cakes, and there's
- 20:33Speaker 1: a bunch of like cake and dessert shops, but there's
- 20:36Speaker 1: also a Cassada pizza and it's this huge pizza restaurant,
- 20:41Speaker 1: and I'm so glad I finally went. I hadn't had
- 20:45Speaker 1: pizza in a very long time, and it was good.
- 20:49Speaker 1: It tasted like a good pizza, and it was only
- 20:51Speaker 1: four bucks for a full, like personal pan pizza. I'll
- 20:55Speaker 1: probably go back if I get the hankering again. It
- 20:57Speaker 1: had a little too much cheese for me, but I
- 21:00Speaker 1: mean it was four bucks, and the sauce was pretty good.
- 21:03Speaker 1: There's plenty of toppings. That was the other interesting thing.
- 21:06Speaker 1: All the pizzas were under four dollars, but they were
- 21:10Speaker 1: usually like three or four, three or three ninety nine.
- 21:13Speaker 1: And for three point fifty I could get a mushroom pizza,
- 21:18Speaker 1: but for three ninety nine I could get a ham pepperoni,
- 21:22Speaker 1: mushroom olive onion pizza. I was like, I'll get the
- 21:28Speaker 1: one with everything on it. And they didn't skim they
- 21:32Speaker 1: had a whole bunch of It was great. It was
- 21:34Speaker 1: a very good pizza. I went into the Super ninety
- 21:37Speaker 1: nine next door and grabbed a couple fifty cent beers
- 21:40Speaker 1: and just sat on the doorstep of a closed business
- 21:46Speaker 1: like down the street and ate my pizza and had
- 21:49Speaker 1: my beers. And I could only eat two pieces because
- 21:51Speaker 1: there were so much cheese, and I don't eat that
- 21:53Speaker 1: much cheese anymore. So with bread especially, it just fills
- 21:57Speaker 1: me up pretty quickly. Not like Bee, which apparently I
- 22:00Speaker 1: can just bore into myself forever. But the Kasady Pizza
- 22:06Speaker 1: or Italiano Pizza or whatever they call themselves good pizza
- 22:09Speaker 1: here in Panama City, and just a central, simple place
- 22:12Speaker 1: to get oh, and it took them two minutes to
- 22:14Speaker 1: make it. I ordered it, and I waited for a
- 22:17Speaker 1: couple minutes and then my order was ready. Recommend I
- 22:23Speaker 1: also tried Yoe Fried Chicken, which is this Korean fried
- 22:26Speaker 1: chicken restaurant I walk by all the time when I
- 22:29Speaker 1: go to mache Tazo, the new supermarket I like, and
- 22:33Speaker 1: I always wanted to try it, but when I walked in,
- 22:36Speaker 1: it was just too big. It didn't seem like it
- 22:39Speaker 1: was gonna be good. Frankly, I did take a couple
- 22:42Speaker 1: beers with me, just in case, just in case. I mean,
- 22:45Speaker 1: I took a couple of beers in to drink. I
- 22:47Speaker 1: don't know, I said, just in case, and I ordered
- 22:50Speaker 1: the fried chicken, and it didn't look like it did
- 22:53Speaker 1: on the picture. It looked like pretty good. Like if
- 22:57Speaker 1: you got this fried chicken from a restaurant hunt, you'd
- 23:01Speaker 1: be like, oh, that's good fried chicken. But I like
- 23:04Speaker 1: the much crunchier Korean fried chicken. And this was a
- 23:09Speaker 1: more bready coating and very thin, which I don't like
- 23:15Speaker 1: thick breading usually unless it's crunchy. Long story, but this
- 23:18Speaker 1: wasn't the type of Korean fried chicken I like. Luckily,
- 23:21Speaker 1: I had the two beers and the chicken still was
- 23:23Speaker 1: good and the sauce was good enough. I won't be
- 23:28Speaker 1: going back there again, but it's nice fried chicken if
- 23:32Speaker 1: you like breaded fried chicken, soft breaded. Oh. When I
- 23:36Speaker 1: was walking home in the rain the other day, I
- 23:38Speaker 1: walked into a braided steel wire dangling from a power
- 23:41Speaker 1: line and kind of got freaked out for a second
- 23:42Speaker 1: because it was at like stomach level. It was straight
- 23:46Speaker 1: down to the sidewalk. I don't know how dangerous that
- 23:49Speaker 1: is or why there are steel wires hanging from power
- 23:52Speaker 1: line sometimes, but that happened. So crazy racist girl left
- 23:59Speaker 1: this place, which is fantastic. The other girl, who spends
- 24:04Speaker 1: a lot of time being very loud, has stopped being loud.
- 24:07Speaker 1: She still lives here, but I don't know why she
- 24:09Speaker 1: has just after two and a half weeks, has decided
- 24:12Speaker 1: to stop yelling into her computer eight hours a day.
- 24:16Speaker 1: That's what the crazy girl also did. By this other one,
- 24:20Speaker 1: beautiful in Colombian and fairly soft spoken, talks to her
- 24:24Speaker 1: family all the time or something, but anyway, she's quiet also,
- 24:28Speaker 1: So I have a lot of free time to record,
- 24:32Speaker 1: so much so during the day that I've actually flipped
- 24:35Speaker 1: my sleep schedule. I was working through the night, and
- 24:38Speaker 1: today's the first day I just woke up at in
- 24:40Speaker 1: the morning, five point thirty am. And I think I
- 24:43Speaker 1: can just be awake during the day and go to
- 24:45Speaker 1: sleep at night, and it does feel nicer to sleep
- 24:47Speaker 1: at night. I've been making a bunch of noodles with
- 24:50Speaker 1: the hot pot bass I have, and I cut up
- 24:54Speaker 1: these herbs I get from one of the markets here,
- 24:57Speaker 1: and I just use the scissors and cut up all
- 25:00Speaker 1: green herbs, and then I cook the garlic cloves in
- 25:05Speaker 1: the water I'm boiling for the noodles, and then I
- 25:07Speaker 1: put the noodles in, and then I take the noodles
- 25:10Speaker 1: out a few minutes later, and then I pour almost
- 25:13Speaker 1: the broth, and then I put in the hot pot sauce.
- 25:16Speaker 1: It's so good. So I have greens and garlic, cloves
- 25:21Speaker 1: and noodles, and then I put some peanuts on top,
- 25:25Speaker 1: and then I pour this hot pot red Sichuan mala
- 25:29Speaker 1: numb spicy hot pot based sauce all over it. And oh,
- 25:34Speaker 1: it's such a good dinner. I might have savice today though,
- 25:38Speaker 1: because it's been a little while since I had it.
- 25:41Speaker 1: I did get three loud new roommates next door to me.
- 25:46Speaker 1: They snore super loud and they play TV all day
- 25:49Speaker 1: and at night. But they were only here for a
- 25:51Speaker 1: few days and then they left, so whatever, they're fine.
- 25:57Speaker 1: Have you heard about brain Gate two. It's one of
- 25:59Speaker 1: the direct like brain touching prosthetics, cyborg attachments. It's really cool.
- 26:07Speaker 1: It just reads what the patient is trying to do,
- 26:10Speaker 1: what muscles they're trying to use, and it extrapolates the
- 26:13Speaker 1: words they're trying to say based on the muscle they're
- 26:16Speaker 1: trying to use. And it's like ninety nine percent effective
- 26:20Speaker 1: or something, according to the short YouTube video I watched.
- 26:23Speaker 1: But I hadn't heard of brain Gate two before, and
- 26:25Speaker 1: it was really cool to learn about. So there's a
- 26:28Speaker 1: way that paralyzed people are talking now communicating effectively in
- 26:35Speaker 1: the world. I also wrote down passive atmospheric water generator
- 26:38Speaker 1: because someone made a passive atmospheric water generator, which is
- 26:42Speaker 1: super cool. That's like a machine that just pulls water
- 26:46Speaker 1: from the ambient air, and I read about that on
- 26:50Speaker 1: fourteen forty. If you don't read fourteen forty, and especially
- 26:52Speaker 1: if you don't like politics very much, it just chooses
- 26:58Speaker 1: fact based articles and compiles them and you can just
- 27:02Speaker 1: read as objective a news list as you can help
- 27:07Speaker 1: for these days, they're very careful to choose objective articles
- 27:13Speaker 1: that just talk about what is happening without putting a
- 27:16Speaker 1: slant either way on it. Well, I'm getting up to
- 27:19Speaker 1: half an hour, so thank you very much for listening,
- 27:21Speaker 1: and I will talk to you soon.
