  Hey, here we are again.
• 0:26
  Hello.
• 0:27
  it's us you know us the names are right like right there and well i can't put my finger on
• 0:34
  his screen but if you follow my finger right there is his name right okay so
• 0:39
  hey everybody welcome back to another episode of the space tomatoes podcast
• 0:46
  with your hosts we just discussed this it's me and that guy hello i'm that guy
• 0:52
  nice to see you again
• 0:54
  the havoc and lx show
• 0:58
  you have to figure out which one is which
• 1:01
  good luck i'm that guy
• 1:03
  yeah right
• 1:05
  so you were you were sharing with me uh just previous we do this all the time it's just what
• 1:12
  we do so this time we should just hit record as soon as you come on i snapped it pretty quick
• 1:18
  great but you were talking about a meme you sent me but it's not a real it's not a meme it's an
• 1:23
  actual thing no well you know like i i do look at facebook which i know you don't do but this
• 1:31
  thing's been all over the place apparently a florida guy decided i don't know what his uh
• 1:35
  i didn't read it that much he decided to shave off his uh beard and get a haircut and he looks
• 1:41
  dramatically different you can you can post a picture probably on there and show everybody but
• 1:46
  yeah general consensus was dude you should have just left it yeah i don't know i'm gonna have to
• 1:54
  agree with that consensus put it back put it back do it quick yeah a lot of the comments were saying
• 2:01
  like beards are uh makeup for a guy i guess right basically yeah they cover a lot of imperfections
• 2:09
  They certainly can.
• 2:11
  Yeah, that's for sure.
• 2:13
  I'll probably shave mine off this coming year.
• 2:16
  We'll see.
• 2:17
  The old baby face on the podcast.
• 2:19
  Start again?
• 2:21
  Really?
• 2:21
  All over.
• 2:22
  Wow.
• 2:23
  It doesn't take that long.
• 2:25
  No?
• 2:25
  It only takes me like six weeks to get a short beard already gone.
• 2:31
  Six, eight weeks, I think.
• 2:34
  My wife likes it short anyway, but she does and doesn't, right?
• 2:38
  because it gets pokey when it's short.
• 2:40
  Ah, yeah.
• 2:41
  Yeah, she doesn't like the pokey part.
• 2:44
  She likes the soft.
• 2:46
  Yeah.
• 2:47
  Which is also why.
• 2:48
  Do you use like those beard oils and all that stuff?
• 2:51
  Not like all the time, but yes.
• 2:55
  Oh, not all the time, but yes.
• 2:57
  Well, like I don't do it every single day, right?
• 3:00
  Oh, okay.
• 3:01
  Yeah, I do use beard oils.
• 3:02
  It's good.
• 3:03
  It helps it, you know, stay soft, moisturize.
• 3:06
  it's you know partly for your skin yeah yeah i i usually get a trim every you know decade or so
• 3:15
  when somebody drags me to the decade or two when i'm forced to like where are we going
• 3:20
  wait a minute here i didn't sign up for this yeah
• 3:24
  held hostage yeah i didn't always have a beard no you you weren't born with one
• 3:36
  because i could see that like baby lx just comes out
• 3:39
  my beard dude i bet i would probably look as good as the guy in that picture if i shaved mine off
• 3:48
  nah i don't know how would i know i've never seen you without one so i don't know maybe
• 3:54
  They got those filters now.
• 3:56
  I don't know how accurate they are.
• 3:57
  You could see what you look like.
• 4:00
  I don't have access to any of that stuff, but I've seen it done.
• 4:03
  I bet your wife does.
• 4:05
  Nah, she doesn't do that stuff.
• 4:08
  We can find someone.
• 4:10
  I know people.
• 4:11
  I'll have to f*** them up.
• 4:18
  Fun, fun.
• 4:19
  He'll do it for you.
• 4:21
  Nah, dude, I don't want to bag on the guy too much.
• 4:23
  I mean, you know, it'll grow back.
• 4:25
  It will.
• 4:25
  It'll grow back.
• 4:26
  It's no big deal.
• 4:27
  And, and it's, you know, it's one of those things where I, you've seen it before.
• 4:31
  I've seen it before.
• 4:32
  You know, people can look phenomenally different with a beard.
• 4:38
  It really does kind of, you know, square out and, you know, give the illusion of a, a jawline and everything else.
• 4:46
  When you, if you don't have one.
• 4:48
  Right.
• 4:50
  Yeah.
• 4:51
  I don't, I don't know.
• 4:52
  I don't know.
• 4:53
  it's an interesting thing it is it is weird to see someone like even someone like my old
• 5:00
  i had a guy i worked under for a while and he had a big you know brush mustache you know like a broom
• 5:07
  and he shaved it off and i saw him and i was like what what oh my gosh it looks so weird for you to
• 5:16
  have a top lip that's just crazy you know and then you know full beard is is just like you know
• 5:23
  half your face just changes i mean it's just weird it's different you ever seen those videos
• 5:30
  of like little kids and their dad shaves his face then they start crying because they don't know
• 5:34
  who the heck he is yeah yeah i've seen actually i've been told i did that like my father always
• 5:42
  had a mustache and i don't remember it but yeah apparently he shaved it all off and i started
• 5:47
  crying i mean that was before like video cameras and stuff yeah yeah obviously no i saw one of those
• 5:53
  yesterday it was hilarious you know like kids like in the car the dad's sitting in the driver's seat
• 5:59
  and he looks back and they're like you know what i mean yeah it'd be it's weird i mean it's a
• 6:06
  different thing yeah i imagine it'll be weird too for the people watching the podcast they'll be like
• 6:11
  hey some some have seen me with no facial hair so whatever you know who doesn't notice that stuff
• 6:18
  though who dogs no no no i don't care at all we go back to the pants on this they don't greet each
• 6:26
  other by looking at your face same scent i guess thankfully they don't just run up and stick their
• 6:35
  noses and her buttholes uh all the time anyway sometimes you're right you're standing there
• 6:42
  you're like wait get out of there our german shepherd would goose people
• 6:48
  oh yeah oh yeah you know the belgian will come up and she does this thing she has like a
• 6:54
  a very long slender nose oh it's pointy it's very pointy it's very pointy and she'll do this thing
• 7:02
  And she'll come up behind people and she'll go, bump, bump, with her nose right on their butt.
• 7:07
  Bump, bump.
• 7:08
  Like, what is that anyway?
• 7:10
  It's the bump greeting.
• 7:12
  Oh, look, we're matching.
• 7:14
  We are.
• 7:15
  Oh, yeah, we're wearing the same shirt again.
• 7:17
  Yeah.
• 7:17
  We need to get like a little photo shoot going with us on the deuce with our green shirts on.
• 7:22
  I need a flannel, huh?
• 7:23
  Yeah, yeah.
• 7:24
  I mean, I got one.
• 7:25
  Well, there you go.
• 7:27
  It's actually chilly outside today.
• 7:29
  It was 38 when I went to let the chickens out this morning.
• 7:32
  That is pretty cold.
• 7:33
  For Florida, that's, yeah.
• 7:35
  Yeah.
• 7:36
  It's like Arctic.
• 7:37
  I don't know about Arctic.
• 7:39
  There'd be no ice or snow in the Arctic, but okay.
• 7:46
  Hopefully, maybe you guys will make it through.
• 7:49
  I mean, it's supposed to be on average, right?
• 7:55
  It doesn't mean we won't have cold naps and we won't have spells that come in.
• 7:59
  But on average, it's supposed to be a drier and warmer winter because of the El Nino pattern that came in.
• 8:11
  So who knows?
• 8:12
  Maybe you'll get by with no freeze and you'll have tomatoes all through winter.
• 8:17
  We actually have banana trees that produce for one year.
• 8:22
  I don't know.
• 8:22
  That would be cool, too, man.
• 8:25
  I know you wouldn't know anything about that.
• 8:28
  Nope.
• 8:28
  ours have melted successfully last year they shot a bunch out and then it immediately froze
• 8:36
  at the end of the week and that was the end of that we tried to put lights on them and save them
• 8:41
  that didn't work no that would suck seeing the bananas and then having them all die and just be
• 8:47
  like they were cute they're like little ones so close um yeah ours just melts i thought we maybe
• 8:56
  got lucky this year because you know we had our first freeze like in early november what the heck
• 9:04
  is going on here because that is not normal what was that flying through the air this is what
• 9:11
  happens when you have an indoor cat that has floofs not like a short hair cat like a cat
• 9:19
  that yeah I saw it like yeah ragdoll it just flies it just goes it doesn't like there's you know it's
• 9:26
  the laws of physics do not apply I I will float I will I will go higher for no reason and then I
• 9:33
  will come down and then I'll just stay in the air like hang time of like you know 27 days or something
• 9:42
  you know what you need you need a sign outside of your studio no cats or cat floof allowed past
• 9:47
  point and then like by law they have to abide by that that's what i've heard yeah really or or what
• 9:54
  i take like legal action and sue my cat mm-hmm we'll be like bastard signs are good for that
• 10:01
  don't you know any place that has a sign it has to be legally uh followed
• 10:09
  that's how things work
• 10:10
  yes yes this goes to the the whole prohibition arguments you know it works great signs work
• 10:21
  great for the law abiding so does prohibition works great for the law abiding does not work
• 10:28
  for the people that are going to do it anyway it never has those darn cats follow laws yeah cats
• 10:38
  I have a better idea
• 10:40
  open the front door
• 10:42
  close the front door
• 10:45
  your wife would not appreciate that
• 10:46
  no I'd probably be out there
• 10:49
  too with the cat
• 10:50
  and the cat would probably be back in
• 10:53
  I'm sure
• 10:54
  and you'd be out yeah
• 10:56
  Domino and I'd be curled up on the front porch
• 10:59
  on a box
• 11:00
  it was my box
• 11:03
  I wonder if we'd have to
• 11:05
  fight for box territory
• 11:07
  i don't know he doesn't seem like he fights people too much he's probably a scrapper with
• 11:12
  other cats though i'm guessing oh he totally is and and he loves to kill things loves to kill
• 11:19
  things everything if he can he will yeah he doesn't go after the chickens though not even
• 11:27
  small ones he's like yeah that's fine he just never i think he understands that they're you
• 11:34
  know part of our flock of things so he doesn't mess with them but he is terrified of the turkeys
• 11:41
  and the geese probably for really good reason yeah they get like those pretty sharp teeth and stuff
• 11:46
  big fangs yeah yeah i wouldn't mess with him i mean why would he he's significantly smaller
• 11:55
  exactly exactly yeah no um but yeah that's that's the thing they're they're just big
• 12:01
  and he you know what's he gonna do you know a little 10 pound cat nine pound cat and uh you
• 12:09
  know 40 pound bird i'm not gonna run running is a good option yeah
• 12:15
  but so we went to the kubota dealer and got that battery oh okay which amazingly enough you would
• 12:25
  think that Kubota would would not be the preferred place to go get a Kubota battery for your Kubota
• 12:32
  tractor because that usually means like Kubota money super expensive yeah that's the first thing
• 12:41
  that shot my mind is like oh man this thing's gonna be like ridiculous yeah no it was uh
• 12:48
  between 40 and 70 dollars cheaper than the auto parts stores yeah the auto parts stores wanted
• 12:55
  like 180 for it and this was like 130 134 or something like that wow maybe next time i need a battery for my car since my car uses the exact same size i just go get a kubota battery let me know how
• 13:07
  it'll last for you yeah the only thing is the uh cca on it cold cranking amps is lower than a car
• 13:15
  battery so instead of like 500 range which yours is probably between 450 and 550 i think this one's
• 13:23
  400 okay yeah so yeah uh but for the little diesel motor it seems to do just fine
• 13:33
  until it doesn't and then it doesn't but you know that's with all batteries they just i don't anymore
• 13:40
  pretty much they they used to give warning like where it would like
• 13:44
  and now they're just like you go out there maybe you get a click and then it's done
• 13:49
  yeah they're just dead you're like what we was fine and it's like yeah well it's been 13 months
• 13:57
  on your one-year battery so i've died there's there's definitely some planned obsolescence
• 14:06
  going on in that oh man yeah it will for anyone if if you want to watch something that will just
• 14:13
  boil your blood and i mean really boil your blood blood just go on youtube and search for this
• 14:21
  planned obsolescence light bulb that's it just go search for that and watch that like 30 minute
• 14:28
  i think it's from it's from a well-known like sciencey channel right uh at least one of the
• 14:35
  top ones that'll come up it's around 30 minutes and it will it'll boil your blood it'll just be
• 14:40
  wait a minute what light bulbs lasted a hundred years and now they what and and they they know and
• 14:49
  they they all got together and planned this this isn't a conspiracy this is freaking reality and
• 14:56
  it's still going on today today right now there is a consortium of light bulb producing motherfuckers
• 15:05
  that are out there and they have a shared lab and they put their shit in there and they all tweak
• 15:10
  their shit to make sure that nobody's shit lasts too much longer than anybody else's shit and you
• 15:16
  get to pay for it you you that doesn't seem very fair
• 15:21
  you you would as far as i i'm like i think that's illegal right i mean like we take you would think
• 15:32
  Like, isn't it illegal to, like, fix prices and stuff?
• 15:36
  Yes.
• 15:36
  Like, get together and do that kind of stuff?
• 15:38
  Yes.
• 15:38
  Why wouldn't that be illegal?
• 15:40
  I don't know.
• 15:40
  Don't know.
• 15:41
  That I can't understand.
• 15:43
  I really don't.
• 15:44
  It just seems like something that would be highly illegal.
• 15:48
  It's definitely anti-competitive.
• 15:50
  Hmm.
• 15:51
  I mean, so how can it not be running afoul of anti-compete laws?
• 15:59
  I don't know.
• 16:00
  what do you want to bring back the old incandescent bulbs i like the incandescent man
• 16:06
  i really did i mean energy less harsh yeah way less harsh less harsh they didn't cause like
• 16:14
  headaches or other kinds of problems like this those uh uh cfl's did the compact fluoroc
• 16:20
  fluorocarbons or whatever cfc whatever they are yeah compact fluorescence compact fluorescence
• 16:26
  that's it yeah um those things terrible for your for your eyes terrible for your mental state in
• 16:34
  general because of the flicker um and then you got leds which they're better now but they still
• 16:40
  put out a pretty harsh light you know what i mean compared is is my take on it so i did see a thing
• 16:48
  there's like a firehouse somewhere i don't know maybe i don't know where it's at but they got like
• 16:52
  a light bulb that's been on for over 100 years non-stop it never turns off yep i mean of course
• 16:57
  it's it's about as bright as a candle it's not very bright but it's been on hey you know that's
• 17:02
  pretty amazing it's it's proof that something like a 50-year light bulb of modern lighting standards
• 17:09
  is without question possible like you could literally go buy the lights for your house
• 17:15
  and live in your in your house and probably never change a light bulb
• 17:19
  i don't know i'm trying to think of the last time i changed the light bulb it's been a while
• 17:26
  not me we had all those electrical issues if if you were watching the series you've you've known
• 17:34
  that we had some electrical issues that was causing light bulbs to go out every three to six weeks
• 17:40
  in in a number of our lights and we could not figure out what the heck was going on
• 17:45
  And we had a power failure and then found out that they were running way too much current on our neutral.
• 17:52
  Like, you know, there's a very low acceptable amount to have on neutral.
• 17:57
  And ours was close to double the high limit on that.
• 18:02
  We were also running over voltage.
• 18:06
  So we were getting, you know, way more voltage than what should be on a line.
• 18:11
  you put those two things together especially with modern lights led cfl you know the the fluorescence
• 18:20
  and it it they all have uh circuits inside of them and it screws up the circuit and that's what
• 18:31
  causes the bulb to go out so we we didn't know but now we do and now our light bulbs have been
• 18:38
  going strong sense so hopefully we'll be okay you know what i'm thinking sabotage who'd you piss off
• 18:44
  that probably be easier to write a list of the people that i haven't i think i don't know
• 18:54
  well hmm
• 18:58
  i'm glad i'm glad you get it fixed yeah me too me too yeah
• 19:05
  because electrical stuff's never never good you know it's one of those things so but anyway we
• 19:14
  were at the kubota dealer and we did all that and then decided to walk around and i looked at a
• 19:19
  little mini excavator and that was cool yeah a little tiny thing uh which would work for us it
• 19:26
  would be perfect but i don't know if i can justify the expense to own one uh what size are you
• 19:32
  talking about like a two ton no like a like a half a half ton i think oh okay when the little
• 19:39
  teeny you know something on the farm i don't need something that i can dig ponds with all the time
• 19:45
  you know but i would like to build a root cellar would be nice and so a backhoe is that or a very
• 19:55
  long time with shovels and it'll turn into a pond i'm not that familiar with the little ones like
• 20:01
  that would they be able to dig like a two foot wide hole by maybe six foot maybe six feet deep
• 20:10
  you should be yeah maybe not the the depth might be an issue on that one the the reach on the arm
• 20:17
  so it might might might be a little shallow i'm just curious hole your hole might be a little
• 20:25
  shallow random home right random hole i mean yeah random hole for no particular purpose no particular
• 20:32
  reason yeah or you might have to hand dig out the last foot or two i don't remember what the
• 20:38
  reach is on them well then never mind then right i'm not interested yeah yeah yeah yeah i i think
• 20:47
  you could probably dig a good you know hole if you needed to to to store things in you know yeah
• 20:54
  it's a big decision buying a piece of equipment like that it's they're not cheap no and you have
• 21:00
  to consider maintenance and everything else right um i mean kubota is pretty solid the one benefit
• 21:06
  is they do offer zero percent financing so it's kind of like you know i mean if you're going to
• 21:12
  finance something that's the way to do it zero percent how long are the terms on something like
• 21:17
  that uh three three years typically three years sometimes five uh depends dollar dollar amount
• 21:24
  will make that determination but probably do a three-year on something like that
• 21:29
  five now here's the other question with the cost of the equipment plus the maintenance and
• 21:34
  everything that's required is it cheaper just to rent it when you need it well and that's what we
• 21:39
  were looking at and i can i can rent a two-ton unit for like 1500 bucks a week for a full week
• 21:46
  seven full days um so you know at the end of the day i think that's probably the better economical
• 21:54
  decision for us for a an excavator right i mean it sounds like a lot of money but you know like
• 22:02
  if you're only doing it one week that you need it you're not putting out 60 grand for
• 22:08
  for a machine right right well the one i wanted to get wasn't 60 the one the one we can rent is 60
• 22:15
  60 and some change uh and the one we can rent is a two-ton unit and that's that's gonna take care
• 22:23
  of what we need that's more than what we need right all right to you know build up some swales
• 22:29
  do a root cellar uh build up the goose pond you know those those types of things it's just a matter
• 22:36
  of let me figure out which what am i going to do right what projects and that's that's the big piece
• 22:42
  but when you rent something for a week do they give you an hour limit that you're
• 22:48
  allowed to put on that thing or is it just however much you if you want to run it 24 7 for a week
• 22:53
  yeah i mean i i don't i i don't know but i won't be running it you know i mean but you got a point
• 23:00
  right someone could come in and rent it and and use it on job site freaking three shifts and and
• 23:06
  really put up i i don't know if they put a limit on it to be honest with you i don't right but i
• 23:12
  I also don't know that they'll rent to a company.
• 23:17
  There's the difference.
• 23:18
  Like,
• 23:18
  I think if you came in with a road construction company and said,
• 23:22
  yeah,
• 23:22
  we want to rent this as,
• 23:23
  as a road construction company,
• 23:25
  they'd be like,
• 23:26
  how about no?
• 23:29
  You think so?
• 23:29
  I don't know.
• 23:30
  Maybe.
• 23:31
  Either that,
• 23:32
  or there'd be probably be a different kind of contract that had hours and
• 23:36
  maintenance schedule and everything else.
• 23:38
  Right.
• 23:40
  Now,
• 23:40
  how does that work?
• 23:41
  Like if you,
• 23:41
  if you had one,
• 23:42
  And you need it serviced.
• 23:44
  Do you have to transport it to them, or will they come get it?
• 23:47
  Well, I mean, you can have them come and work on it on site,
• 23:53
  but you're paying mobile charges, and that's going to double.
• 23:58
  I don't know that a half-ton pickup will pull something that large.
• 24:05
  I mean, it might pull it, but it probably ain't going to stop very well.
• 24:09
  We asked them about delivery.
• 24:12
  it's, you know, 300 bucks round trip for us.
• 24:16
  So...
• 24:17
  That's probably worth it.
• 24:18
  Oh, yeah.
• 24:19
  I mean, you know, you'd need a dual axle trailer
• 24:22
  without question for that thing.
• 24:24
  And then you're talking about, you know, like you said,
• 24:26
  like my truck won't pull that.
• 24:28
  I mean, it would, but I would be driving dangerously.
• 24:33
  And I mean, really dangerously.
• 24:35
  What does that machine weigh?
• 24:36
  About 10,000 pounds or so?
• 24:38
  Probably at least, yeah.
• 24:40
  Yeah.
• 24:40
  Yeah.
• 24:41
  The counterweights are pretty heavy on the thing.
• 24:44
  The tracks.
• 24:45
  Is rubber tracks on it?
• 24:46
  This one had rubber, yes, it did.
• 24:49
  Yeah.
• 24:49
  So softer touch.
• 24:51
  But at the same time, you're still looking at something that has a 4,000-pound bucket load.
• 24:58
  Oh, okay.
• 24:59
  So with a 9,000-pound breakout force on the arm.
• 25:03
  So when you start to think about that, you know that the thing has been counterweighted to accommodate that level of weight.
• 25:12
  So you've at least 10,000 pounds and my truck is not going to handle that.
• 25:19
  No.
• 25:20
  I mean, that's, that's going to put me in a situation where after about, you know, the first breaking episode, I'll be smoking.
• 25:29
  Yeah.
• 25:30
  Your transmission probably wouldn't like it either.
• 25:32
  No.
• 25:33
  No.
• 25:35
  Not even a little toe button would help on that one.
• 25:40
  So you're getting that pretty soon then, huh?
• 25:43
  Yeah, we're thinking we may, just because we've got the holiday break,
• 25:46
  we may do that and get some projects done.
• 25:50
  It's going to depend if we can find the right liner for the goose pond
• 25:54
  and the solar pump.
• 25:57
  I don want to bring it in and not do all the projects If I gonna spend 1500 spend I want to line out all the stuff I want to do and have it ready to go
• 26:08
  Does that make sense?
• 26:09
  That makes sense.
• 26:09
  Yeah.
• 26:10
  Yeah.
• 26:11
  So we'll see.
• 26:13
  You can come up and supervise.
• 26:15
  Yeah, you can come on up.
• 26:16
  I'd love to help, honestly.
• 26:19
  I'll wear a safety vest and just point.
• 26:21
  You can teach me how to weld, too.
• 26:24
  hmm you always say that it never happens well you know alpaca isn't exactly the best time to be like
• 26:31
  let's go focus on this thing for six hours you know it's kind of like we're all here together
• 26:38
  we're we're here to enjoy each other's company so yeah yeah but you could always next time
• 26:45
  could stay an extra time i could have but i didn't yeah it's all right we did the rental thing too
• 26:53
  Had to bring the car back.
• 26:54
  Yeah.
• 26:54
  Hopefully the puppies will come soon.
• 26:56
  Then you'll have to be back up here.
• 26:58
  Maybe.
• 26:58
  Then maybe you could just extend your stay by a day or two.
• 27:02
  Hmm.
• 27:03
  Hang out with us.
• 27:04
  Go pick up the puppies on the way home.
• 27:07
  Now I've raised it, by the way.
• 27:10
  It's now puppies.
• 27:11
  Mm-hmm.
• 27:12
  Yeah, that ain't happening.
• 27:13
  Made that mistake twice in our life already.
• 27:16
  Don't you need two dogs?
• 27:18
  We thought that for a long time.
• 27:19
  But no, not this time.
• 27:21
  Won't they be lonely?
• 27:23
  no sad puppy no poor little puppy not even a chance but you know what happens is i say that
• 27:36
  and then we get one this is like what happened every time we only intended to have one and then
• 27:42
  like somebody calls us that you know like oh we got this you know puppy that needs a home and
• 27:49
  we thought of you guys and it'd be the best place and i want to know if you're interested
• 27:55
  and then like how do you say no to that you do this no it didn't work the last two times but
• 28:05
  it's going to have to work this time someone calls up they're like hey we've got a problem
• 28:11
  but i'd like you to take our problem would you like a problem don't you want problems come on
• 28:19
  You don't have enough problems.
• 28:21
  No, thank you.
• 28:22
  But ours is free.
• 28:24
  You can have our problem for free.
• 28:26
  Yeah.
• 28:29
  Sometimes free is the more expensive option.
• 28:32
  Oh, yeah.
• 28:33
  For some reason.
• 28:35
  Oh, yeah.
• 28:37
  Not always.
• 28:38
  Not always.
• 28:39
  But, yeah, certainly at times.
• 28:44
  Oh, talk to Bird.
• 28:46
  He's bringing me a tractor tire.
• 28:48
  I wanted a big tractor tire.
• 28:51
  For what?
• 28:54
  Stuff.
• 28:54
  Not for your tractor?
• 28:56
  No.
• 28:57
  That thing would fit over my tractor.
• 29:00
  Okay.
• 29:01
  Wouldn't go anywhere.
• 29:03
  That looked like one of those stupid trucks, but backwards.
• 29:07
  Oh, like a big combine tractor tire?
• 29:10
  Probably, yeah.
• 29:12
  Oh, okay.
• 29:12
  Something big, meaty.
• 29:14
  What are you going to do with that?
• 29:16
  Stuff.
• 29:18
  Like what?
• 29:19
  I don't know yet.
• 29:20
  Mosquitoes?
• 29:22
  What do you mean?
• 29:23
  Like when the water sits inside it?
• 29:25
  Oh, yeah.
• 29:26
  Green mosquitoes?
• 29:27
  No, we're not going to do that.
• 29:30
  We'll put mosquito torpedoes in there.
• 29:33
  I'll solve that problem.
• 29:34
  You know what that is?
• 29:36
  No, I have no idea.
• 29:36
  It's a little thing.
• 29:37
  It looks like a little fish.
• 29:39
  It's, you know, black, dusty.
• 29:42
  You could toss it in a pond.
• 29:44
  You could toss it in a puddle.
• 29:47
  You could toss it in tractor tire.
• 29:49
  You could toss it in your stock tank.
• 29:51
  And it's got stuff in it that the mosquitoes don't like.
• 29:55
  So they won't drop the larva in there.
• 29:58
  All right.
• 29:59
  Yeah.
• 30:00
  So you got a secret tractor tire project coming up, huh?
• 30:04
  Well, part of it's for our oldest.
• 30:08
  We've talked about doing this for a long time.
• 30:10
  He likes to work out and do stuff like that.
• 30:13
  So part of it's for that.
• 30:14
  And my guess is it'll be used once.
• 30:17
  But the secondary thing is I want a pecan tree.
• 30:20
  And I was figuring if I can get a tractor tire, I can put a pecan tree in the center of it, mulch the hell out of it all the way to the depth of the tire, and then forget about it for 10 years.
• 30:31
  Because that's how long it takes before it'll start producing any nuts.
• 30:34
  Oh, wow.
• 30:35
  Yeah.
• 30:37
  Yeah.
• 30:38
  In those 10 years, that's when you get built up all around you and you don't even want to be there anymore.
• 30:43
  It's possible.
• 30:45
  It is possible.
• 30:46
  in which case i'm taking my tire i mean i mean how that works out yeah it won't
• 30:53
  if if it goes the way i think it'll end up being there forever so dude those tires are heavy so
• 31:01
  i made a deal with somebody once um i saw these military truck tires gigantic i don't remember
• 31:11
  what size they were.
• 31:13
  They were big.
• 31:15
  The guy had them for cheap.
• 31:17
  I made a deal, went up there
• 31:19
  and picked them up. Of course, I didn't
• 31:21
  realize that they were
• 31:23
  like 400 pounds a piece.
• 31:26
  Yeah, they're pretty
• 31:27
  heavy to move.
• 31:29
  I got like 16 of those things.
• 31:32
  Then to come to find out, they won't
• 31:33
  even fit on my truck.
• 31:36
  I ended up selling them.
• 31:37
  The guy bought them
• 31:38
  from New Jersey.
• 31:40
  it worked out in the end but yeah that was my foray into the the world of used gigantic tires
• 31:48
  i'm done with it i just want one that's all i don't i don't want a collection of them i
• 31:55
  definitely don't want a set of them i want one just one very large tire please nice
• 32:02
  now we'll see if i can actually move the damn thing
• 32:06
  could be problematic yeah how much yeah it depends on how much they weigh and things get heavy
• 32:13
  yeah yeah i think we'll be able to manage we'll see you get a tractor you'll be all right
• 32:20
  there you go i did not have a tractor that that would make it more difficult yeah yeah i had a
• 32:27
  couple guys with me that helped a lot yeah i'm sure i could lift it with the tractor as long as
• 32:33
  it's not over 700 pounds i'm good yeah and if it's over 700 pounds i'll just be like dude really
• 32:38
  nice can't be it's not possible now i think it'd be good no i don't i i mean i don't know for sure
• 32:49
  but i you know i don't i don't even think well i guess like mining equipment you might get 700
• 32:55
  pound plus tires right but outside of that i i don't see it being that front end loader tires
• 33:03
  dude those things are heavy i don't know what they weigh but yeah they're you ain't moving
• 33:07
  them by yourself yeah yeah you got like a crane on the side that puts it on there
• 33:13
  mining equipment essentially yeah or quarry equipment i guess but same thing right i mean
• 33:21
  you're mining rocks.
• 33:23
  So, yeah.
• 33:26
  But it'll be interesting.
• 33:27
  We'll see what happens with it.
• 33:28
  I don't know.
• 33:28
  I mean, just sit there and collect dust.
• 33:30
  That's fine, too.
• 33:32
  At least we'll have a tractor tire.
• 33:33
  Every farm should have a tractor tire.
• 33:35
  Am I wrong?
• 33:36
  Come on now.
• 33:38
  Like, do you really have a farm if you don't have a tractor tire somewhere?
• 33:44
  Usually they get like an old, what do they call it, a blade that, you know, with the
• 33:50
  I don't know, some kind of piece of equipment rotting away in the back.
• 33:54
  That's usually what they have on farms.
• 33:55
  Well, I have one of those, too.
• 33:57
  Oh, you do?
• 33:58
  Yeah, there's a disker.
• 34:00
  That's what I'm thinking of.
• 34:01
  A disker, yeah.
• 34:02
  You've seen it.
• 34:03
  Little old tow hitch disker.
• 34:06
  All right, so you're all set.
• 34:08
  All you need is the big tire, and you're good to go.
• 34:12
  With an E-I-E-I-O.
• 34:14
  E-I-E-I-O.
• 34:16
  Old McDonald.
• 34:18
  Old McDonald and his tractor tire.
• 34:20
  That's right.
• 34:22
  Old MacDonald had a tire.
• 34:27
  You got to do the part.
• 34:31
  Wow.
• 34:34
  Oh, man.
• 34:41
  So what do you guys got going on today?
• 34:44
  Today, I don't know.
• 34:46
  She wanted to go to Publix to take advantage of the standing rib roast sale.
• 34:51
  We picked up some inexpensive meat the other day.
• 34:55
  Inexpensive, not cheap.
• 34:56
  It was a New York strip loin roast for $7.99 a pound.
• 35:04
  And we got a few of them, cut them into steaks.
• 35:07
  Super, super nice.
• 35:09
  We had one the other night.
• 35:10
  They were really good.
• 35:12
  Oh, yeah.
• 35:12
  And now they have a standing rib roast on sale.
• 35:16
  I'd be buying cases of those.
• 35:18
  Yeah.
• 35:19
  That's my favorite.
• 35:21
  That's my jam right there, man.
• 35:24
  I mean, Publix is a little bit more expensive, but they're like half price for $9.99.
• 35:30
  It's pretty good.
• 35:31
  Yeah.
• 35:31
  Well, I mean, we just bought it for $19.99 a pound, so.
• 35:34
  Mm-hmm.
• 35:36
  And they'll even cut it for you for free if you wanted to.
• 35:39
  The last ones I cut myself, which.
• 35:42
  Oh, I'd have to cut it.
• 35:43
  I'd buy a case of it and tell them I want it all cut.
• 35:46
  Yeah, I think they got a limit.
• 35:47
  I think you're only allowed two per person.
• 35:49
  Oh, okay.
• 35:50
  We can go back.
• 35:52
  There's two of you.
• 35:53
  That's right.
• 35:54
  No, last time there was two limits, and we each got two.
• 35:59
  That's the way you do it, right there.
• 36:00
  Yeah.
• 36:02
  Call up friends.
• 36:04
  Call up your friends.
• 36:06
  Hey, come with me.
• 36:08
  Buy me.
• 36:09
  I'll give you a steak.
• 36:11
  Maybe even two steaks.
• 36:12
  Well, we were looking at the sign in the back, and it says, you know, limit two per household.
• 36:18
  And she's like, well, just tell them we're brother and sister.
• 36:21
  And I'm like, can I still grab your butt, or is that weird now?
• 36:27
  It's Florida, man.
• 36:28
  You're good to go.
• 36:30
  Yeah.
• 36:31
  Even more acceptable in Alabama, from what I hear.
• 36:34
  I'm not trying to disparage, but, you know, hey, brotherly love, man.
• 36:40
  i don't know
• 36:42
  yeah it'd be interesting
• 36:49
  it would be interesting you're in there you're like yeah it's my sister and you for you know
• 36:56
  talking talking grab her butt they'd be like um i don't want to know i'm not asking any questions
• 37:04
  I'd prefer to leave this conversation entirely.
• 37:08
  Yeah, I'm not really a PDA guy anyway, so it worked out okay.
• 37:12
  Nobody asked any questions.
• 37:14
  Yeah.
• 37:16
  PDA.
• 37:17
  We're doing the checkout thing.
• 37:19
  We got the little plastic, you know, divider.
• 37:21
  No, that's not my stuff.
• 37:23
  That's her stuff.
• 37:25
  Two separate orders, please.
• 37:27
  Yeah, yeah.
• 37:28
  I don't know who the heck that is.
• 37:30
  Start moving some stuff over to her.
• 37:32
  Mm-hmm.
• 37:34
  Nobody will notice.
• 37:35
  Nobody will notice.
• 37:37
  Nobody noticed.
• 37:38
  Nobody cares.
• 37:39
  Still, that's a pretty good deal, man.
• 37:41
  $9.99 is ridiculously good.
• 37:44
  It really is.
• 37:46
  $7.99.
• 37:46
  But the New York Strip for $7.99 was pretty good.
• 37:49
  Yeah.
• 37:51
  I'm not a big New York fan.
• 37:52
  I just don't like New York Strip.
• 37:55
  It was trimmed really nice, man.
• 37:57
  Yeah.
• 37:58
  That's the part I don't like about it.
• 37:59
  I like the last time we got New York strip, we got, we bought a case of it because same thing on sale.
• 38:06
  And we ended up turning it into pot roast.
• 38:10
  Really?
• 38:12
  I just don't, I like fatty, you know, very, you know, with a lot of intermuscular fat.
• 38:18
  I like that, like a ribeye that I like.
• 38:20
  um you know i would take a picanha 100 100 100 of the time over a new york strip
• 38:31
  i just don't like them it's never been my my thing i've had some really good ones don't get
• 38:38
  me wrong i've had really good ones that i very much enjoyed but that same quality of steak and
• 38:44
  a ribeye would have been my preference yeah so yeah i think we're going to pick up some ribeyes
• 38:50
  and do the whole vacuum sealing thing and set ourselves up for the new year at least to start Yeah we have a chub of burger meat we need to uh break down and uh
• 39:10
  same thing vacuum seal and then also a a whole packer of uh ribeye as well that we need to cut
• 39:18
  down create a roast out of and and then cut into steaks and vacuum seal and all that good stuff and
• 39:25
  then we've got chickens
• 39:27
  I need to
• 39:29
  get a chicken into the
• 39:31
  smoker and roast that bad
• 39:33
  boy up smoke it up
• 39:35
  and then we will have
• 39:37
  two carcasses for soup sock
• 39:39
  which we will do then have
• 39:41
  chicken noodle soup without
• 39:45
  the noodle but
• 39:46
  chicken noodle soup
• 39:48
  nice oh it's so good dude it's so
• 39:51
  good
• 39:52
  mmm
• 39:53
  I'm excited
• 39:55
  we did order a a new plate for our grinder because we only had the uh the really coarse one
• 40:03
  but we we got the smaller one and we ordered a new blade for it and we we're gonna do that uh
• 40:09
  that chunk of brisket that that we cut off we're gonna turn that into some hamburger
• 40:14
  yeah make sure you mix it with with regular hamburger too 70 80 20 something like that
• 40:20
  just 50 50 it literally weigh it out weigh out 50 you know the same weight of hamburger
• 40:27
  cube up that brisket and throw it in there with the hamburger intertwined i would give it one more
• 40:34
  run through so i'd probably do it on course then change the blade out to the finer and rerun the
• 40:41
  whole thing okay well because run them together you mean yeah because as you put the brisket in
• 40:47
  there you're going to get chunks of brisket meat and then the hamburger is going to come through
• 40:52
  then the brisket and then once you got all that you just grab a mosh of that and it'll have both
• 40:58
  and then you'll put it in there it'll kind of mix it up a little bit better
• 41:01
  and and give you a little bit finer of grind because on the on the big thicker one for burger
• 41:07
  meat it it kind of leaves meat noodles for me yeah that's why we got we got the smaller ones
• 41:15
  it's it's still coming in the mail yeah oh because you guys bought that one uh like on
• 41:22
  on marketplace or did something like that right you found yeah it was a on a really nice one
• 41:27
  number 10 or 10 or 12 uh limb that we got yeah it was we got it on marketplace it was like still
• 41:36
  in the box i think they might have used it once and said this ain't for us yep it came with two
• 41:42
  plates but they only had the coarse one they lost the the fine one and then uh you know they're like
• 41:49
  well we'll give it to you cheaper i'm like okay we were making dog food out of it anyway you know
• 41:55
  with it we never actually used it for us yeah no and honestly i mean that's the way to make
• 42:01
  burger meat if you use burger meat go buy a whole chuck just buy a whole chuck that's it is it cheaper
• 42:09
  that way then yeah way cheaper yeah typically yeah typically yeah but you'll have to go and
• 42:16
  search for chuck on you know special etc but that's that's you know you look at good burger
• 42:23
  meat it's ground chuck roast is what it is okay that's got a good fat to meat ratio
• 42:28
  if you want to trim it out so you have much leaner beef you can grab like a
• 42:33
  top round, whole top round, and just slice chunks off of that sucker in there and add it in.
• 42:41
  And you'll get kind of a mixture of a leaner and more fatty.
• 42:46
  Good.
• 42:47
  See, now my wife can watch this and she has a whole tutorial, what to do now.
• 42:52
  She was asking me.
• 42:53
  I'm like, I'll find out.
• 42:55
  Yeah, and I'm telling you, those burgers are going to be so good.
• 43:01
  All right, I'm holding you to it.
• 43:02
  Oh, yeah.
• 43:04
  Very good.
• 43:04
  Very good.
• 43:05
  Me still have that.
• 43:08
  I was going to say the fat cutoff that we were going to turn that into tallow, too.
• 43:12
  Oh, yeah.
• 43:13
  Still got to do that part.
• 43:14
  For sure.
• 43:15
  Just keep it low.
• 43:16
  Just let it keep going and riding.
• 43:18
  You may want to skim out the beef crisps as you're going through it.
• 43:23
  They're pretty tasty, but they are pretty fatty as well.
• 43:26
  But they'll be crispy and kind of yummy.
• 43:29
  I like them.
• 43:29
  A little bit.
• 43:30
  Not a lot.
• 43:31
  So the way you do it, you just put it in a cast iron pan and just slow and just let it sit?
• 43:37
  Yeah.
• 43:39
  Like how long does it take, do you think?
• 43:42
  A couple hours, maybe.
• 43:43
  Oh, okay.
• 43:44
  All right.
• 43:45
  Man.
• 43:47
  It's not that terrible.
• 43:49
  It does, you know, you'll smell it throughout the house, though.
• 43:52
  That's the only downside to it.
• 43:55
  If you had like a turkey fryer or something, you could do it outside.
• 43:58
  It'd probably be better as far as the smell goes.
• 44:01
  Crock-Pot or something.
• 44:02
  Would that work or no?
• 44:03
  Yeah, it should.
• 44:04
  I've never tried it, but it should.
• 44:06
  It should work perfectly, in fact.
• 44:08
  Just set that sucker on high and let it go.
• 44:12
  I think it makes less mess that way.
• 44:14
  I don't know.
• 44:15
  Probably, yeah.
• 44:17
  Because it will splatter as it's going through,
• 44:21
  especially if there's chunks of meat in there,
• 44:23
  which there will be little pockets here and there.
• 44:28
  Now I'm hungry.
• 44:30
  Now I'm really hungry.
• 44:31
  wow you guys got publics near you you can go get some standing rib roast our publics are ass dude
• 44:39
  i'm not kidding you our publics are terrible they're they're like the lowest of the low
• 44:46
  really yeah wow yeah they're not there's like there's one in charlotte that's nice
• 44:52
  and more like what you guys have.
• 44:57
  But the Publix near us is crap.
• 45:01
  It's not great.
• 45:03
  It's just not.
• 45:04
  I don't know what the standard is or why.
• 45:07
  Like Florida, you go into a Publix and they're nice.
• 45:10
  I mean, they're really nice.
• 45:11
  Yeah, everything's always clean and the employees are super nice.
• 45:17
  They're very helpful.
• 45:18
  They don't ignore you.
• 45:19
  It's not like going to Walmart where they seem irritated that you ask them or something.
• 45:26
  Why are you asking me to do my job?
• 45:30
  Yeah, no, here they're just not, they're not all that.
• 45:34
  Harris Teeter is the top end brand for regular and not Whole Foods or whatever, which I would consider more boutique.
• 45:44
  but the regular grocery store
• 45:47
  higher end grocery store
• 45:49
  is Harris Teeter
• 45:50
  Publix opened
• 45:53
  one up across the street from like
• 45:55
  the flagship Harris Teeter
• 45:56
  and it's
• 45:57
  not great
• 45:59
  so I don't know if it's
• 46:03
  just a different
• 46:04
  yeah I don't know
• 46:07
  I don't know what's going on
• 46:09
  I don't know how they handle their stores
• 46:13
  if it's all corporate.
• 46:14
  I think it is, right?
• 46:16
  I would think so, yeah.
• 46:18
  Yeah.
• 46:19
  Yeah, I don't know what the deal is,
• 46:21
  but our publics here are not like your publics there.
• 46:24
  It is not, like, I would prefer to just hit up Foodland instead.
• 46:30
  Really?
• 46:31
  Yeah.
• 46:33
  See, to me, and I'm not knocking Foodland,
• 46:35
  it just seems like a little bit lower level to me.
• 46:40
  It is.
• 46:41
  100 percent very very much so but public's is basically that here wow okay yeah i mean do they
• 46:52
  make like the subs and everything it not that i eat them but the one near us i don't know that
• 46:59
  they did no okay i don't know that they had all that because we always bypass like all the good
• 47:05
  stuff like the bakery and i mean you smell it when you go buy it and i would love to have some
• 47:11
  of that stuff i just don't there's a lot of people that complain that public's is very expensive
• 47:16
  and like i guess they could be but we only shop the perimeter of the store anyway so the fruits
• 47:22
  and vegetables and like even like the squash it's actually cheaper at public's than it is
• 47:28
  the winn dixie so i don't know you know there's a lot of buy one get one stuff and i guess if you
• 47:34
  buy right it seems okay and then you know the meat deal seems good to me i don't know i had a great
• 47:42
  experience i i wanted to go like we we got a public's and i was like oh dude now we've got
• 47:46
  public's and it wasn't what i saw in florida you know the public's every public's we went to i think
• 47:54
  we hit like four of them or five of them while we were down there and every single one of them was
• 48:00
  was really nice i mean there were there was that one that is nicer than some of the others
• 48:05
  but i mean all of them were you know top tier grocery chain you know what i mean uh the ones
• 48:11
  near us just aren't they're not they're not at the level of harris teeter wow yeah interesting
• 48:17
  which is weird to me right now again there is the one in charlotte that i went to that is
• 48:22
  i i would say better than a harris teeter um a little more sterile than a harris teeter
• 48:28
  not a little a lot more sterile than like a high-end teeter where they'll have wood and
• 48:35
  you know like the the beer and wine section they've got like wood mantles set up it it just
• 48:41
  has that kind of you know feel to it whereas public's feeling yeah exactly a lot a lot more
• 48:50
  like yeah classy
• 48:52
  Publix is more
• 48:54
  no we are you know
• 48:55
  plain white linoleum
• 48:59
  tiled floors
• 49:00
  and plain white shelving
• 49:02
  units and you know
• 49:04
  fluorescent lighting
• 49:05
  everywhere is lit
• 49:08
  very brightly
• 49:09
  everything's neat and orderly
• 49:12
  tidy very clean
• 49:14
  but there's no like
• 49:16
  oh here's our cheese area
• 49:18
  that's got like you know wood
• 49:20
  barrels set up and stuff it's just here's the cheese area that's in a display thing you know
• 49:27
  what i mean all right but you do have that other cheese store oh yeah that's that's a whole different
• 49:32
  ball game that's an actual cheese store right that's like something else what is that even in
• 49:38
  that place uh ormond's cheese shop it's in charlotte yeah it is fantastic the owner is a
• 49:47
  wonderful gentleman, I believe he's Spanish. And, you know, all of the staff there are very helpful,
• 49:54
  extremely knowledgeable, and they have very, very top tier cheeses. I mean, excellent stuff,
• 50:02
  as well as charcuterie and, you know, a whole host of other things. But the primary thing there
• 50:07
  is cheese. So when you go there, it is a cheese shop, right? So if you want raclette, if you want,
• 50:14
  you know if you want blue cheese that will blow your mind that's it's just it's an amazing i love
• 50:22
  that place i could i tried all the cheeses even the ones that like normally i would be like there
• 50:27
  ain't no way i'm touching that like what the heck is in it that's like growing stuff i ain't eating
• 50:32
  that and i tried them all and they were pretty good yeah especially the one that had like like
• 50:38
  ash in it black ash i'm like oh dude there ain't no way that was probably the best one so good
• 50:46
  so good yep in the raclette you were kind of like i don't think i want to eat that
• 50:53
  i don't think i'm gonna like that is that where those meats come from too
• 50:57
  or is that somewhere else so they do have meats yep they have the charcuterie you know
• 51:02
  like five meats, et cetera.
• 51:05
  Yeah, and really, really high-end, right?
• 51:07
  So, you know, like, you know, top-tier Iberico ham,
• 51:11
  if that's your gig, you know, Speck, Soprissetta,
• 51:17
  you know, I mean, just you name it, whatever you want,
• 51:19
  pretty much, you know, prosciutto, whatever you want,
• 51:23
  they're going to have, like, a really high-end version of it,
• 51:27
  and it's going to be really tasty.
• 51:29
  It's so good.
• 51:31
  So good.
• 51:32
  And doing raclette, you put all this in your little cup, your little tray, and you put it under the burner, and it melts the cheese and the rind gets kind of crispy, crunchy, and you pour it over your potatoes or maybe a little slice of baguette with some meats and some pickled stuff in there, and you eat it.
• 51:53
  Oh, it's...
• 51:55
  Yes.
• 51:57
  I'm very inexperienced in life, apparently, because I had never heard of raclette before.
• 52:02
  It's a European thing.
• 52:05
  It's not that common in the U.S., but, yeah, it's fantastic.
• 52:12
  I have to agree with that.
• 52:13
  I enjoyed it very much.
• 52:15
  If you like melted cheese, this is your bag, man.
• 52:19
  It's kind of like a grown-up grilled cheese sandwich for, you know.
• 52:26
  Yeah, it's Lunchables for grown-ups.
• 52:29
  That's kind of what it is.
• 52:30
  Yeah, essentially.
• 52:32
  You just have like this.
• 52:33
  it's great for parties too you know if you've got people over or whatever because you just kind of
• 52:40
  make your own little individual thing you hang out while it's cooking you talk you laugh you know and
• 52:45
  you know everyone sees what everyone else is oh that looks good would you do that and you know
• 52:50
  and it just lasts a long time it's not like here's your plate everybody eats we're done we clear the
• 52:55
  table it's more we're sitting around there for an hour and a half two hours just putting trays in
• 53:03
  and eating a little bit, waiting for a slot to open to put my next tray in.
• 53:08
  And, you know, it just, it works.
• 53:11
  And it's amazing.
• 53:13
  And don't be off-put by the smell, okay?
• 53:15
  It does have that, it has a little bit of a funk to it, right?
• 53:19
  A little bit of that, what I like to call fit smell.
• 53:22
  Yeah, dude, that stuff smelled like dirty gym socks or something.
• 53:27
  I was like, no, that ain't happening.
• 53:29
  Yeah, but the second you taste it, it's a whole different game.
• 53:32
  you're like oh that is so good pretty much yeah i was surprised
• 53:38
  and i i fell for the uh let me go back i'm just gonna get one more i fell for that a couple times
• 53:47
  and then by the end of the night i was like whoa maybe i shouldn't have done that last one
• 53:51
  but i got room for one more right it's a little tricky it hurts maybe i should have one more
• 54:00
  I did that. Yes.
• 54:03
  Yeah. It's hard not to, cause it is, it is just fantastic. It is, you know, we do it once a year, typically maybe twice a year, depending right around the holiday season.
• 54:15
  alpaca is a good one we'll be doing it over christmas with you know our our oldest and
• 54:23
  you know he he really enjoys it it's it's just a it's a great gig you know it's like one of those
• 54:30
  and it's easy right you don't have to like throw together a meal and do you just cut some cheese
• 54:36
  chunks up and throw some charcuterie on a plate and that's it here go go to town you know pretty
• 54:43
  easy yeah and and that's about the only time of the year i eat bread and that was excellent too
• 54:49
  so yeah the baguettes they came from mormons as well okay yeah french bakery in charlotte makes
• 54:58
  fresh baguettes every day and they you know mormons gets them and sells them
• 55:03
  so nice yeah fantastic that's just fantastic meal so that'll become an alpaca staple now
• 55:11
  this is the second year we've done it and everyone's loved it so it's just we love it
• 55:17
  everyone else loves it why not yeah the first year i guess it was like the one i missed for
• 55:21
  some reason because i don't remember that and yeah unfortunately yeah you miss her of alpacas
• 55:30
  happened once hopefully don't happen again i'm gonna cross my fingers on that one knock on my
• 55:36
  desk it's made out of wood you see no that was real wood all right it was plastic now that now
• 55:43
  the oldest has that one he loves it he's happy so he came up it went in the back of his his vehicle
• 55:50
  which is pretty amazing it's 72 inch stand-up desk okay 72 inches fit in a rav4 barely i saw it
• 56:02
  yeah but it fit inside of a rav4 and drove from north carolina to florida so he you know it worked
• 56:11
  and that's all you know at the end of the day if it
• 56:14
  we ran out of room in our little mazda
• 56:18
  yeah we tried they're tiny they are kind of tiny i still have a computer for you
• 56:28
  a what computer
• 56:31
  it will go into a much smaller case just because the case is large doesn't mean it has to be in a
• 56:40
  very large case you can get a case for like 80 bucks all right it's the same
• 56:47
  i'd even help you put it in the other case will it fit into like a lunchbox
• 56:52
  no oh okay well bigger bigger than a lunchbox it depends whose lunchbox
• 57:01
  right yeah um no no it won't no okay so you're you're you're set on a laptop
• 57:12
  no no i'm not set at anything
• 57:17
  except the lab i'm just i'm just low on space that's all yeah but it goes under your desk
• 57:25
  okay what's under your desk beside your feet my legs what else but the desk has to move
• 57:33
  that's the only problem why is it gonna move because the studio is as large as it seems on
• 57:40
  camera is size doesn't matter Alex even a small that's not what she said small
• 57:55
  studio can can make magic occur it's about how you know that's what I try
• 58:01
  saying too they don't always fall for it though she's fallen for it so far but you'd be dazzled
• 58:13
  it nicely with the background though so it's perfect you know yeah clean lines everything's
• 58:20
  perfect yeah it's good it's good i need like some nice wood vintage wood you know paneling with
• 58:28
  whiskey shelf or something that looks nice it might i kind of like your background though i really do
• 58:35
  a lot of people have asked about it too which is pretty cool
• 58:39
  i mean it's it's it's got that for me it's got that kind of geeky you know nerdy like
• 58:48
  cool vibe to it you know what i mean
• 58:51
  yeah no it's okay i mean it's a bunch of video game cartridges so geeky nerdy kind of fits in
• 58:59
  there and you can't even see the dust on them from here there's i doubt there's any dust on them
• 59:05
  i highly doubt that just probably a little bit
• 59:09
  you're gonna go search it out yeah you should probably take everything off of those shelves
• 59:14
  reorganize and clean everything out really nicely make sure every cartridge is i'm gonna take them
• 59:22
  all off and i'm gonna put them in reverse alphabetical order just so i can change things
• 59:26
  up you know what you should do is put them in alphabetical order but also sectioned out by genre
• 59:32
  yeah it's hard to decide whether you want to put them in like you know label color order or
• 59:41
  alphabetical order or
• 59:43
  hard
• 59:45
  hard decisions
• 59:46
  but never genre
• 59:49
  like here's all the sports ones
• 59:51
  here's all the you know more
• 59:53
  more flying here's the
• 59:55
  driving here's the
• 59:57
  you know
• 59:58
  all the sports games the sports games are in the
• 1:00:01
  garbage can down there
• 1:00:02
  oh are they
• 1:00:04
  I got them because I needed the
• 1:00:07
  collection to be complete but I didn't
• 1:00:09
  Kind of.
• 1:00:10
  Yeah, the sports games are not the best.
• 1:00:13
  Like, probably Tecmo Bowl is probably the best one.
• 1:00:16
  I'm not really a football fan, so.
• 1:00:19
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:00:21
  You remember the little things?
• 1:00:22
  Do you remember the first video games, the football,
• 1:00:25
  and they had the little handheld thing with a little screen
• 1:00:29
  with just the yards across and little dots?
• 1:00:33
  I've seen one.
• 1:00:34
  I never had one.
• 1:00:36
  I remember the sound more than anything.
• 1:00:39
  Yeah, and then they came out with one that had two keyboards on it and one screen.
• 1:00:44
  So you could play with a friend.
• 1:00:46
  You could play against them.
• 1:00:48
  Yeah.
• 1:00:49
  Remember that?
• 1:00:50
  No.
• 1:00:50
  Cool stuff.
• 1:00:51
  No, I had maybe the little thing with the water in it with the little hoops.
• 1:00:57
  And you press the thing.
• 1:00:58
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:00:59
  Spirals and try to land it on the peg.
• 1:01:02
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:03
  I had one of those too.
• 1:01:04
  Yeah.
• 1:01:05
  That was cool.
• 1:01:06
  The football room was arguably the one.
• 1:01:08
  The fancy as I had.
• 1:01:09
  arguably a little better.
• 1:01:11
  I remember Pong too.
• 1:01:13
  I remember when the local,
• 1:01:15
  I think it was a Shakey's pizza at the time.
• 1:01:18
  And was it Shakey's?
• 1:01:21
  Probably Shakey's.
• 1:01:22
  But they got the video game in.
• 1:01:26
  They got video games and they had Pong.
• 1:01:30
  And they had it in a big stand-up one
• 1:01:32
  and then they also had a tabletop one.
• 1:01:34
  Remember those?
• 1:01:35
  You'd go to a pizza place
• 1:01:36
  and there'd be like a video game,
• 1:01:37
  but like it was a table.
• 1:01:39
  Like a cocktail table, yeah.
• 1:01:41
  Yeah, you could sit at it, and the controls were under the table surface,
• 1:01:45
  and then the other person could sit at it.
• 1:01:47
  And so we'd play Pong while eating pizza at Shakey's.
• 1:01:51
  I was a little kid, but it was pretty cool.
• 1:01:54
  I do remember, I guess my father would have bought it.
• 1:01:58
  We did have a Pong machine.
• 1:01:59
  It had, like, wood grain on it and stuff.
• 1:02:02
  Nice.
• 1:02:03
  But we weren't allowed to use it.
• 1:02:05
  I wasn't allowed to use it because he was afraid it was going to burn lines in the TV.
• 1:02:09
  so I never really played it.
• 1:02:13
  Yeah, yeah, I remember.
• 1:02:16
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:18
  And then the old Atari consoles.
• 1:02:21
  I never had an Atari.
• 1:02:22
  The first thing I got was a Nintendo.
• 1:02:24
  Oh, really?
• 1:02:25
  One of my uncles gave it to me, yeah.
• 1:02:27
  Dude, the Ataris were cool,
• 1:02:30
  but the joystick thing,
• 1:02:32
  the bottom of it,
• 1:02:33
  that pad was just literally a circuit board
• 1:02:36
  with a ring on it of, you know, basically solder
• 1:02:40
  and another ring up on top of solder.
• 1:02:44
  And as you pulled the joystick,
• 1:02:46
  it would just touch in whichever area you were touching.
• 1:02:50
  Well, as you can imagine, kids playing video games.
• 1:02:53
  Right.
• 1:02:55
  All of a sudden it'd stop working
• 1:02:57
  and you have to pull it apart and, you know, fix stuff.
• 1:03:01
  And that's where I learned to tear apart electronics.
• 1:03:05
  All right.
• 1:03:06
  My cousins had an Atari, so I would play theirs when I went to visit.
• 1:03:10
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:12
  Yeah, I had a friend that had another one.
• 1:03:15
  I don't remember what it was, but it had a controller that was like a longer, thinner one and a little dial in it.
• 1:03:22
  Oh, like an Intellivision.
• 1:03:24
  Yeah, it might have been it.
• 1:03:25
  Yeah.
• 1:03:26
  That was pretty cool, too.
• 1:03:27
  They had like a battleship game where you had like ships.
• 1:03:30
  Does that have like the little plastic inserts you put on the controller?
• 1:03:33
  like they had like little uh you know thin plastic overlays you'd put on the controller to tell you
• 1:03:41
  what buttons did what there's like a number pad on it or something yeah i'm i'm trying the thing
• 1:03:47
  that stood out to me was the the touch sensor thing that was the thing that i thought was like
• 1:03:53
  one of the coolest things because nothing else had that it was all kind of analog stick type of a
• 1:04:00
  thing or balls if you remember there was another one out that had a ball like remember missile
• 1:04:08
  command that kind of a setup oh yeah yeah yeah yeah like a ball for a track ball kind of thing
• 1:04:14
  yeah exactly yeah like an upside down mouse
• 1:04:17
  interesting which again we go back to the mouse balls
• 1:04:23
  for the younger people in this audience my the mouse for your computer used to have a ball in it
• 1:04:31
  and wheels and the wheels controlled the x y axis and all this stuff but the balls would get
• 1:04:38
  gunked up with hand lint junk it wasn lint it was like gross whatever it was it was gross because it was like sticky almost like an earwax dirty earwax or something you have to take that thing out and clean your mouse ball so yes i have cleaned mouse balls
• 1:05:00
  wow i know i know they didn't complain much though
• 1:05:06
  that's good you didn't get bit i did not get bit all right just kind of let it happen i was like
• 1:05:16
  If I had a testicuzzi for my mouse balls.
• 1:05:22
  Is that an actual product?
• 1:05:26
  There's a website.
• 1:05:27
  I have no idea.
• 1:05:28
  There is a website.
• 1:05:29
  Did you see the price on them?
• 1:05:31
  I did not.
• 1:05:32
  No.
• 1:05:34
  69.
• 1:05:37
  I don't know if it's just a joke.
• 1:05:44
  I mean, even if it's real, it's pretty expensive.
• 1:05:46
  or one of them things, but it's got to be a joke
• 1:05:48
  if you put the price at $69.
• 1:05:52
  Honestly, I meant to and I didn't.
• 1:05:55
  It was going to be a gag Christmas gift for someone.
• 1:06:00
  I forgot.
• 1:06:01
  So I never followed through.
• 1:06:03
  I don't think it's a real product.
• 1:06:04
  I don't think it is.
• 1:06:06
  Yeah.
• 1:06:07
  But you never know, man.
• 1:06:10
  I mean, there's some weird stuff out there.
• 1:06:12
  You know what I mean?
• 1:06:14
  Right.
• 1:06:15
  I've seen some very strange products before.
• 1:06:18
  So do you follow news events at all?
• 1:06:25
  Did you see they reclassified cannabis now?
• 1:06:28
  Yeah.
• 1:06:29
  Federally?
• 1:06:29
  What is that going to mean?
• 1:06:31
  Is it going to change anything?
• 1:06:33
  Not really.
• 1:06:34
  Oh, okay.
• 1:06:36
  I mean, Schedule 3 is still illegal.
• 1:06:38
  Still needs a prescription.
• 1:06:40
  so it was a big nothing burger as with most things that politicians do and you know essentially what
• 1:06:50
  it does do is it opens it up for more research etc but you can bet your ass here's what's going to
• 1:06:57
  happen as pharmaceutical companies are going to go and look at something that offers an amazing
• 1:07:03
  alternative to pain meds and anxiety medication and a lot of other medication that has serious,
• 1:07:12
  serious side effects, et cetera, as it is, doesn't need to be modified at all in any way,
• 1:07:21
  shape or form. Just use it. And it is beneficial for these things. Cancer patients for appetite,
• 1:07:29
  for pain, for sleep management, for all of these things that it's been shown to be very beneficial for.
• 1:07:37
  The pharmaceutical companies are going to go and try and isolate the exact compound,
• 1:07:42
  and they're going to deliver a cannabis-derived drug that will then have massive, dangerous side effects
• 1:07:50
  and who knows probably kill or disable or maim people uh for whatever because you can't patent
• 1:08:00
  a plant that's why you can't sell for you know ungodly sums of money a plant but if you do this
• 1:08:09
  jackassery then you can continue to keep legislation and regulation in place to keep
• 1:08:18
  people from being able to use it as a fucking plant that would literally grow in your yard
• 1:08:24
  okay like a weed like a weed wow how weird why would they call it weed oh that's right because
• 1:08:34
  it's a freaking weed it essentially is a weed it will grow in very terrible conditions it just
• 1:08:42
  grows. Okay. Um, and then the, you know, essentially they'll, they'll end up, you know,
• 1:08:48
  introducing legislation where you don't need to legalize it because of the fact that we've
• 1:08:52
  isolated these compounds now that we can do this and yeah, okay. There's some side effects. Maybe
• 1:08:57
  some people are going to go blind. A few people are going to have mental disorders that are going
• 1:09:01
  to be life altering for them. Maybe a couple few people might just die or whatever, you know,
• 1:09:07
  But it's okay.
• 1:09:08
  Now we can do it safely.
• 1:09:11
  And for those that are wondering, the amount of cannabis you would have to take in to cause a side effect that was life altering for you is impossible.
• 1:09:26
  You cannot do it.
• 1:09:27
  You will fall asleep before you manage to take in that much cannabis.
• 1:09:32
  That's it.
• 1:09:37
  So, yeah, I don't understand it.
• 1:09:42
  I don't understand it.
• 1:09:44
  I mean, I guess I do understand it, and it always comes back to the same thing, right?
• 1:09:48
  It's that almighty dollar, and the pharmaceutical companies are the largest lobbying group,
• 1:09:53
  if not the largest, very, very close to the largest lobbying group,
• 1:09:58
  and are absolutely failed.
• 1:10:04
  you thought I was going to say something different didn't you mm-hmm government system it just you
• 1:10:14
  they don't have your interest in mind they have their money in mind this should be very obvious
• 1:10:20
  to you by now very obvious to you okay if it's not I don't know what rock you're living under like
• 1:10:29
  puppies puppies puppies i still think it's intensely weird that you hear all these
• 1:10:42
  advertisements for products that you can't actually buy like you can't go out to the
• 1:10:48
  store and buy them like why are you advertising to me so then you go ask your doctor if sim
• 1:10:57
  fuck up is right for you right dude like so like before i uh i'm still on the free spot spotify
• 1:11:06
  trial but before that i would get the ads and the uh man the ads for that crap at the end it's like
• 1:11:13
  30 seconds of uh may cause death paralysis loss of limbs loss of life loss of bodily functions
• 1:11:19
  and all like it goes on for like 30 seconds i'm like dude who would even take that after that like
• 1:11:25
  Do they not listen to it?
• 1:11:27
  People don't care.
• 1:11:28
  They just want a pill to fix them.
• 1:11:30
  It's like this whole, and don't get me wrong,
• 1:11:32
  I'm sure there are uses where this is beneficial stuff,
• 1:11:35
  but the whole Ozempic and what's that called again?
• 1:11:38
  The LP1 or what is it?
• 1:11:42
  GLP1?
• 1:11:43
  Yeah, GLP1 stuff, right?
• 1:11:45
  All that stuff.
• 1:11:46
  You've got people that have no business taking that.
• 1:11:50
  Taking it.
• 1:11:51
  i just can't lose this 10 pounds around my waist that's now you're blind oops bummer sorry
• 1:12:02
  in some of those people are now learning a very tough lesson that weight does come off it works
• 1:12:08
  it does work but for some reason people are experiencing coming off of it and not only
• 1:12:15
  gaining that 10 pounds back but another 10 on top of it what so you either take it for life
• 1:12:26
  which will fuck you up it will in some way shape or form may not be noticeable to you but it will
• 1:12:33
  for for what
• 1:12:36
  go do something stop eating crap food it doesn't take much to drop weight it really doesn't just
• 1:12:46
  stop two things two things if you just do this alone the majority of people would start dropping
• 1:12:56
  weight that need to just two things no sugar no carbs just do that 30 days give it a shot see what
• 1:13:07
  happens 30 days that's it just 30 days that's just it just tiny little inconsequential speck
• 1:13:16
  of your life 30 days give it a shot but it's easier to take a pill or a shot it is it is
• 1:13:22
  it is and that's what it comes down to i think it does it does in a lot of cases that's exactly
• 1:13:32
  what it comes down to it's hard i don't want to i want to eat the sweet snack cakes i want to eat
• 1:13:37
  the ice cream on a brownie with chocolate fudge over it and you know all this kind of crap yeah
• 1:13:45
  so do i and i do and i do guess what i do but i contain that to probably once or twice a year where
• 1:13:52
  i just go off the reservation you know the rest of the time i found healthier alternatives right
• 1:13:59
  like my wife makes this amazing frozen yogurt and it's like full full fat greek yogurt
• 1:14:08
  okay uh a little bit of cream heavy cream just a little bit and that just helps prevent
• 1:14:15
  ice crystals the way that they normally form um vanilla beans and honey and then she uses the
• 1:14:26
  juice of one organic lemon and the zest from one organic lemon that's it you mix it together
• 1:14:33
  and you've got a very sweet very wonderful it's it's amazing we served it at alpaca we ran out
• 1:14:41
  of ice cream it's not ice cream it's frozen yogurt but we ran out everyone liked it i think
• 1:14:48
  everybody did you like it even the people that don't usually like anything true true you liked
• 1:14:54
  it right i did yeah it to me the flavor of it tastes a lot like a lemon meringue pie
• 1:15:01
  it really does um so you know we also do it with blackberries we'll juice blackberries or
• 1:15:08
  raspberries or blueberries or whatever. And same thing, instead of lemon, we just use blueberry
• 1:15:14
  juice, um, or, or blackberry juice or raspberry juice. And it's amazing. I have no craving for
• 1:15:22
  any kind of an ice cream. And if, if I do, I eat some of this and it's solved. I'm done.
• 1:15:29
  So it's about changing little things in your life and looking for ways to get that fix,
• 1:15:36
  if you will for whatever it is right it's kind of like we were talking about the spaghetti swash
• 1:15:41
  right making spaghetti no it's not spaghetti noodles it will never be spaghetti noodles but
• 1:15:48
  it's close enough and the texture and and everything about it it's satisfying and you
• 1:15:56
  get the bonus of knowing that this isn't like killing you i don't know i could probably say
• 1:16:02
  that in a nicer way but yeah it's not killing you so i don't know one thing i find very curious
• 1:16:09
  is that um this is from my own personal experience when i would eat the mcdonald's and the
• 1:16:17
  doritos and the m&ms and the little debbie snack cakes and all that stuff
• 1:16:22
  carrots and peas and green beans and squash just was not appetizing it did not taste good
• 1:16:32
  i did not want it but when you cut that other stuff out like the squash and the carrots and
• 1:16:38
  the green beans it actually starts tasting good and you start craving that stuff you crave it
• 1:16:44
  surprisingly i would never have thought it yeah no i i literally will have times where i'm like
• 1:16:51
  you know i'm just craving brussels sprouts or broccoli or cauliflower any of that stuff
• 1:16:57
  exactly and it's just like i really want this you know it's not like you said it's not crab food
• 1:17:03
  my body's going hey let's have some vegetables and you're like yeah who are you
• 1:17:08
  exactly like me getting excited over chicken noodle soup keep in mind that this is going to
• 1:17:15
  take me two days to make it is it takes me a whole day to make a chicken stock you know wow
• 1:17:24
  well yeah because i do it i do it on long slow and i really want to get as much of the nutrients
• 1:17:31
  and everything else out that i can i literally take my my chicken carcass and i i use the back end of my cleaver a meat cleaver not a vegetable cleaver for those that don know there is a big difference A vegetable cleaver is the size of a cleaver but it very light very sharp used in Asian kitchens quite frequently right
• 1:17:51
  It's a very good, solid kitchen knife.
• 1:17:55
  A meat cleaver is much heavier, much heavier, also sharp, but much heavier.
• 1:18:01
  and so I'll take the back of that
• 1:18:04
  and I just
• 1:18:05
  I smash every bone I can find
• 1:18:08
  every knuckle, every bone, every
• 1:18:10
  everything. Scoop the whole
• 1:18:12
  thing in there. Skin, meat
• 1:18:14
  tendons, crushed up
• 1:18:16
  bones, the whole thing.
• 1:18:19
  Put some onions in there
• 1:18:20
  just quarter them, throw them in there
• 1:18:22
  only take the skin
• 1:18:24
  off if it's got a sticker on it
• 1:18:26
  and just that part
• 1:18:28
  you don't need to take the skin off. Skin's fine
• 1:18:30
  there's nothing wrong with onion skin you're not going to eat it okay and chop up some carrots
• 1:18:36
  throw those in there don't need to peel them don't need to do any of this stuff you're making stock
• 1:18:41
  okay wash them but you don't need to peel them the same with celery and celery you got to wash
• 1:18:48
  that stuff make sure you wash the celery because there's sand in there so wash out the celery chop
• 1:18:53
  that up throw it in there some thyme some rosemary from out the front door where it grows and uh i
• 1:19:00
  like to add a little bit of oregano in there maybe a couple of bay leaves some peppercorns
• 1:19:06
  about half a bulb of garlic just crush the cloves throw them in their skin and all boom there they
• 1:19:14
  go um i can trust the garlic that we have because it was grown on my property and yeah so do all
• 1:19:23
  that and then just put it in there you know fill fill it up over the top with water and set it on
• 1:19:30
  low do this in the morning about 8 a.m somewhere around 8 p.m turn it off open the lid let it start
• 1:19:39
  cooling strain it put it in jars let those cool throw in the fridge next day throw in the freezer
• 1:19:48
  or you can can them if you want to put them in a pressure cannon you can can them
• 1:19:53
  if freezer works i got so much freezer space yeah well and then when you want to make soup
• 1:20:00
  you just pull one of these jars out you throw it in a pot you know then you peel your carrots
• 1:20:05
  then you you know take the skins off your onions and stuff but carrot onion celery again i'll go in
• 1:20:12
  with more rosemary and and thyme and a little bit of pepper not peppercorns this time uh and i don't
• 1:20:20
  salt until probably I'm very close to finishing. Just, just don't, it, it doesn't really need to
• 1:20:28
  be in there for the long haul. And that way I can taste where the flavors are melting. Do I need
• 1:20:34
  more spices? Do I need more herbs? Do I need, what do I need in here? Right. And then, uh, uh,
• 1:20:42
  near the end, I'll add a little bit of salt, give it 15 minutes, you know, stir it real good. Give
• 1:20:46
  it 15 minutes come back taste it if i need a little bit more salt i'll add a little bit more
• 1:20:51
  but i do it slowly so that it doesn't become i i don't like super salty stuff that's me
• 1:20:59
  sounds good to me well it's very good but you know then and so it's easy you can make fresh
• 1:21:09
  homemade soup and you know two two and a half hours on the stove right and by fresh i mean
• 1:21:15
  you made the stock. You're not buying store bought crap to throw in a pot. You're literally
• 1:21:21
  taking chicken that you, you know, it may be in some cases you've raised. So, you know, what the
• 1:21:28
  chicken actually ate, you've harvested the chicken, you've smoked it or baked it or done whatever.
• 1:21:34
  And now you've got your chicken carcass in your stock pot with the vegetables you pulled out of
• 1:21:39
  your garden um water from your well and uh you know then you've got chicken stock i mean you do
• 1:21:47
  soup you just put in fresh veggies and the cool thing is all that chicken stock mess left over
• 1:21:54
  you can give all that to your chickens just put the whole slop whatever you strained out throw
• 1:22:01
  that in your chickens if you don't want to give it your chickens you're worried about bones or
• 1:22:05
  whatever i wouldn't be that worried about it but if you if you are throwing a compost pile
• 1:22:11
  oh but it's got meat yeah it sure does
• 1:22:13
  and
• 1:22:16
  people are compost too i'm just saying
• 1:22:22
  fair enough
• 1:22:24
  you hungry now i am yeah me too well let's wrap this up so i can do lunch early lunch it's 10 30
• 1:22:35
  in the morning that's all right that's my schedule man oh man you guys don't eat breakfast huh
• 1:22:42
  no what do you try and get 12 or more than 12 hours between
• 1:22:48
  uh i don't know we do uh
• 1:22:53
  12 i guess uh so i don't eat after pretty much dark so like five o'clock or six o'clock i'm done
• 1:23:04
  nothing after that point until the next day so yeah at least 12 hours so it's more like 16 than
• 1:23:11
  if you eat around 10 10 30 yeah so we'll eat it around 10 30 or 11 and then um probably about four
• 1:23:19
  o'clock and that's it yeah nice i bet that's been huge for both of you with your your uh
• 1:23:28
  glycemic stuff right and then twice a day or twice a week we we skip the lunch portion so it's 24 hour
• 1:23:37
  until we eat and we only eat one meal a day twice a week do your little fast i mean you're fasting
• 1:23:45
  every day essentially yeah you're giving your body 16 hours to slough off all the bad crap
• 1:23:51
  mm-hmm and then on twice what do you say twice a week you do that yeah all right twice a week
• 1:23:58
  you give it a full 24 interesting yeah i go between my wife has done a couple of longer fast
• 1:24:07
  for like two or three days that's probably more than i want to do
• 1:24:11
  yeah it's supposed to be pretty beneficial for you how did it work out for her did she
• 1:24:18
  notice anything different was it good was it bad was it hard was it easy um i don't think it was
• 1:24:26
  easy but i mean it gets easier after the first day i think yeah now did she she do like bone
• 1:24:33
  broth or anything or just uh no i mean we have that electrolyte stuff that you got that we got
• 1:24:41
  the flavored one though yeah the the unflavored one that i don't have anymore that was just you
• 1:24:49
  get rid of it i couldn't do it i i just oh no it was like imagine just putting baking soda and
• 1:24:58
  sand in your water and it just was that and it was not good it was pretty nasty like you saw my
• 1:25:05
  face when i was drinking it it's like i did see your face i could power through some stuff and
• 1:25:10
  That was just not happening.
• 1:25:12
  You couldn't have flavored it with like lemon juice or something?
• 1:25:16
  It did.
• 1:25:16
  It didn't help.
• 1:25:18
  You would have to use so much lemon juice that it would be also not good, right?
• 1:25:26
  Yeah.
• 1:25:27
  Like super heavy lemon juice stuff.
• 1:25:29
  My wife does, but I don't.
• 1:25:31
  You could have put like citric acid in it or something.
• 1:25:34
  Let me go grab my citric acid.
• 1:25:36
  Hold on.
• 1:25:37
  I'll be right back.
• 1:25:37
  You can just buy it.
• 1:25:38
  It's like a powder.
• 1:25:39
  You just sprinkle it in there.
• 1:25:41
  I'm good.
• 1:25:41
  I'm good.
• 1:25:42
  I just unburdened myself with those containers of that stuff.
• 1:25:49
  We did notice that they, so we just bought a new container of that stuff.
• 1:25:54
  They did change the formula on it.
• 1:25:56
  They did.
• 1:25:57
  They used to have turmeric and stuff in it.
• 1:25:59
  Now it does not.
• 1:26:00
  Remove the turmeric and up the citric acid, I believe.
• 1:26:04
  The citric acid, you know, honestly, at first I was kind of off-put by it.
• 1:26:09
  but it's because I was still doing the same thing.
• 1:26:12
  So when you first told me about it,
• 1:26:15
  and it was in a smaller container too,
• 1:26:17
  which was interesting.
• 1:26:18
  It was.
• 1:26:18
  When you first told me about it,
• 1:26:19
  I got it and I had to add lemon juice
• 1:26:22
  to make it palatable.
• 1:26:25
  Now I don't.
• 1:26:27
  Adding lemon juice.
• 1:26:28
  I think it tastes pretty decent.
• 1:26:30
  Yeah, adding lemon juice made it taste worse to me.
• 1:26:33
  So I stopped doing that.
• 1:26:35
  Now it's great.
• 1:26:36
  I'm fine with it.
• 1:26:37
  it still seems to have most of the good stuff in it and you know i get turmeric from other sources
• 1:26:44
  so like turmeric right so yeah i don't know i don't know that there's you know there's a lot
• 1:26:54
  of them out there that are not as clean as that one which is which is the interesting piece even
• 1:27:02
  though they did change it and i still think that was a bad move especially removing the turmeric i
• 1:27:07
  think that was just stupid yeah i don't know that it really had that much in it i think it was more
• 1:27:13
  for coloration purposes probably but it does seem to dissolve a lot better now yeah yeah and that
• 1:27:21
  was probably another aspect of why they changed it it's some people are off put by the fact it
• 1:27:27
  doesn't dissolve you know fully in there yeah it it's okay i mean i'm i you know we bought it and
• 1:27:34
  then you know mrs lx was like hey i'm so sorry but they i'm like why are you sorry it's not like
• 1:27:40
  you run the company and you change stuff on me but she was pretty mad about it yeah well you know i
• 1:27:47
  mean in general i'm kind of with her right i mean if you're a consumer a brand that has put something
• 1:27:54
  out that is the same before you go changing it maybe you should solicit some feedback from your
• 1:27:59
  customers maybe you should see you know or at least let them know ahead of time and then take
• 1:28:06
  in feedback you know understand what's going on and and help the public at least understand why
• 1:28:13
  you're doing it you know hey we understand your concerns the amount of turmeric and it was just
• 1:28:18
  for coloring and you're not really getting a huge benefit from that right so we would suggest taking
• 1:28:24
  turmeric as a supplement. We got a lot of complaints from people that it didn't dissolve
• 1:28:30
  correctly. A lot of people saying they had to add lemon juice or lime juice to make it more palatable.
• 1:28:37
  So we took all this feedback and we added some more citric acid, which people now like. They
• 1:28:42
  don't have to add something to it. They can just on the go scoop it in their bottle of water and
• 1:28:48
  they're good to go. And we made it so it dissolves a little bit better. And part of that may have had
• 1:28:53
  something to do with turmeric blah blah blah i don't know but you know have that kind of open
• 1:28:58
  conversation or dialogue with your customer base would be my suggestion so you did get a jar of the
• 1:29:05
  new stuff and you like it yeah i actually got two but i thought i was ordering the same thing
• 1:29:10
  and they just came with the new formula i guess so all right taller jar same looks like same
• 1:29:16
  footprint just taller for some reason it is taller yeah yeah and then yeah it's like a little bit more
• 1:29:22
  in the jar like 0.9 more yeah so i don't know maybe that helps with uh maybe having a little
• 1:29:32
  more air in the container helps with not making it uh kind of cake because maybe i had a couple
• 1:29:39
  of times in the old formula i will tell you this this this kind of bothered me i had a couple of
• 1:29:44
  times where i took a scoop but there must have been like some chunks in there or something
• 1:29:48
  they didn't dissolve and when i went to go swallow like this hard chunk of it felt sharp
• 1:29:55
  honestly yeah it was in the back of my throat and i was like what is that it's just a piece you know
• 1:30:02
  your tissue in your mouth is very soft right so if you touch it with your hands and went like this
• 1:30:08
  it would just crumble right little resistance but in the back of your throat it's all crystallized
• 1:30:13
  So it's kind of a crystalline structure and it wasn't comfy.
• 1:30:17
  I did notice the foil liner that under the cap is much more secure now because we got them before where they just fell off They came off with the cap With the lid yeah Not all the lid And now dude that thing like they used a gallon and a half of glue That thing like
• 1:30:34
  Yep.
• 1:30:35
  It ain't coming off by accident.
• 1:30:37
  No, it's, so maybe it was a good thing, you know.
• 1:30:40
  Maybe at the end of the day, it wasn't such a terrible thing.
• 1:30:44
  Hmm.
• 1:30:45
  I don't know, you know.
• 1:30:46
  It seems to have the same basic everything.
• 1:30:50
  just a little change so i don't know it's working for me i like the taste of it i think it tastes
• 1:30:58
  a little bit better now i don't know if it's the health wise whether it's still as good for you but
• 1:31:02
  i like the i like the new taste a little bit better myself same but same my wife's still angry about it
• 1:31:12
  well i can understand that you know you get used to something and they just change the dang thing
• 1:31:18
  it's like what are you doing what are you doing why'd you change that well we thought it would
• 1:31:22
  be better it's not put it back it's like the beard guy it's not better put it back
• 1:31:28
  original formula man it's like a coca-cola that's right put it freaking that's planned
• 1:31:36
  that was planned it was of course it was same thing with the the cracker barrel deal oh yeah
• 1:31:43
  for sure marketing 101 i hadn't heard about cracker barrel in years all of a sudden top of
• 1:31:51
  every everything oh my goodness the logo's changing the stores controversy is a slow
• 1:31:59
  down a little bit on that though well they put it back they didn't rather they didn't really ever
• 1:32:06
  not they didn't you get this right they this was a zero dollar massive marketing campaign
• 1:32:15
  most likely you know like we don't have to spend shit all we got to do is convince tell people that
• 1:32:22
  we're going to change it and make it like sterile and you know modern and everyone's going to lose
• 1:32:28
  their mind i bet you they saw uptick in sales massively after that maybe i haven't been to one
• 1:32:35
  in a long time so i don't know yeah we we we probably hit one maybe once once a year maybe
• 1:32:44
  maybe once every other every few years yeah maybe once every three years or something two three years
• 1:32:51
  grandpa's country fried dinner breakfast that's the one
• 1:32:57
  i was making it at home and we'll say so and i don't even make that at home because it's got
• 1:33:05
  stuff. Come on, I don't really want to eat this stuff.
• 1:33:09
  But like, you know, a country fried steak and gravy is
• 1:33:12
  pretty frickin' alright, dude. And I'm in for it.
• 1:33:18
  I like that stuff.
• 1:33:20
  It's a weakness for me. Gravy. Country gravy.
• 1:33:25
  That's the stuff right there. Can't go wrong with fat flour
• 1:33:29
  and sausage. Until you find out that it all comes in a
• 1:33:33
  plastic bag that they just open up and put on a plate and heat up for you.
• 1:33:38
  Yeah, probably.
• 1:33:40
  Which seems a waste because they make sausage,
• 1:33:42
  so why wouldn't you just make your own gravy?
• 1:33:46
  Yeah, can't control it.
• 1:33:47
  It would be different at different places.
• 1:33:50
  That's why.
• 1:33:52
  Need that consistency.
• 1:33:54
  Consistency.
• 1:33:58
  That's why.
• 1:33:59
  Which McDonald's, you know, that's one thing, dude.
• 1:34:03
  Those guys literally came up with the most consistent fry in the world.
• 1:34:08
  Like I was watching something the other day, a guy that does food stuff, Josh Wiseman, Joshua Wiseman.
• 1:34:16
  Sorry if I got that wrong on the first one.
• 1:34:20
  Good chef guy, YouTuber guy, whatever.
• 1:34:24
  But he was in China and was doing fast food places in China.
• 1:34:29
  And, you know, part of that, he was going to try the American fast food places in China.
• 1:34:33
  And it was like the fries.
• 1:34:35
  He's like, it's the same fry.
• 1:34:37
  And I remember watching the whole thing.
• 1:34:39
  They literally have their own potato farms.
• 1:34:42
  They grow their own version, their own.
• 1:34:50
  What am I trying to say here?
• 1:34:53
  Don't say that same variety of potato.
• 1:34:56
  Yeah, it's it's the same strain.
• 1:34:58
  So same, you know, they actually genetically modified their strain of potato to have the same potato grow.
• 1:35:09
  Right.
• 1:35:10
  And so it's the same potato with the bright kind of starch in it and all this other stuff.
• 1:35:15
  And they're very tightly controlled.
• 1:35:17
  And then they, you know, the whole processing, everything they do to it is the same.
• 1:35:22
  So no matter where you go in a McDonald's, that fry will always be a McDonald's fry, which is weird to me.
• 1:35:29
  Now I've had bad McDonald's fries.
• 1:35:31
  Usually it's just the ones that have been left under the heat lamp for too long, right?
• 1:35:36
  Or they didn't salt them properly, right?
• 1:35:39
  But in general, a McDonald's fry will be the same McDonald's fry you have no matter where in the world you happen to get it.
• 1:35:48
  That's pretty interesting.
• 1:35:50
  Do you know what is different though?
• 1:35:52
  the ketchup oh in different parts of the world sure yeah because other parts of the world don't
• 1:35:59
  allow you to use you know chemicals and death that's exactly what it is in their food whereas
• 1:36:05
  in the you know the us of a we like those things i mean the color is different either yeah of course
• 1:36:13
  it is because they have banned the use of carcinogenic dyes in most countries not here
• 1:36:21
  it's it's safe for you not for anyone else in the world but for the united states it's totally safe
• 1:36:28
  and in you know whatever problems it causes we have pills for that that's why we have such a
• 1:36:35
  booming pharmaceutical industry so it's totally safe and we've got you know preventative you know
• 1:36:42
  not preventative we've got treatments for whatever it may cause for you which we're not saying it does
• 1:36:48
  but if it did then we can make money off that too so it's okay i mean we can help you out there too
• 1:36:55
  so it's okay yeah
• 1:36:58
  it's a wonderful world we live in there
• 1:37:04
  yeah i'm hungry still but i don't i don't want ketchup from the united states
• 1:37:14
  no no it's a lot of corn syrup why why is it a lot of it why does corn syrup have to be in
• 1:37:23
  literal like you you talked about it earlier you hit it and this is this is honestly change your
• 1:37:29
  life advice here.
• 1:37:31
  When you go into a grocery store,
• 1:37:33
  the only walls you should be shopping off of are the exterior walls of the
• 1:37:38
  grocery store,
• 1:37:39
  period.
• 1:37:41
  All those shelves in the middle,
• 1:37:44
  they are trying to kill you.
• 1:37:50
  Fair enough.
• 1:37:51
  Or make you dependent on the pharmaceutical industry.
• 1:37:55
  You'll either be dependent on the food,
• 1:37:57
  which you will 100 because they put sugar or corn syrup in just about freaking everything and why
• 1:38:03
  because it's highly addictive highly addictive
• 1:38:07
  corn is also subsidized by the government and they gotta find some kind of use for it exactly
• 1:38:14
  that's why it's in our gas that's why it's in pretty much every food substance out there
• 1:38:20
  her that's why it's used the way it is it is yeah and you know now i'm starting i've got a friend
• 1:38:28
  that has a corn allergy corn allergy i wonder why yeah actually the girl uh that we get our
• 1:38:37
  goat milk from she's allergic to corn i've never heard of that before yep apparently it's a thing
• 1:38:43
  well i'm gonna go back to the old thing right i mean growing up i i never once even heard
• 1:38:50
  of a peanut allergy,
• 1:38:53
  a nut allergy.
• 1:38:54
  Never even heard of it.
• 1:38:57
  But
• 1:38:57
  a couple decades before that,
• 1:39:01
  peanut oils
• 1:39:02
  started to be used
• 1:39:04
  in freaking everything.
• 1:39:09
  Probably better than soybean oil.
• 1:39:12
  Yeah.
• 1:39:13
  True.
• 1:39:14
  Maybe.
• 1:39:14
  True.
• 1:39:15
  I didn't know soybean oil
• 1:39:17
  was an industrial lubricant.
• 1:39:18
  most of the seed oils are.
• 1:39:22
  Yeah, they were developed as an industrial lubricant.
• 1:39:25
  And if you saw what it,
• 1:39:26
  you might change your mind on wanting to consume that stuff.
• 1:39:31
  Go look it up.
• 1:39:33
  Go do some YouTubing on what seed oils originally were used for
• 1:39:40
  and why they became food items.
• 1:39:45
  And what are McDonald's fries made in now?
• 1:39:48
  Oh, 100% seed oils, baby.
• 1:39:52
  They used to use tallow, I think.
• 1:39:55
  Tractor lube.
• 1:39:57
  Yeah.
• 1:39:58
  Some of these places, things like Steak and Shake went back to tallow.
• 1:40:03
  Yeah, a number of places did, and we'll see if that holds, you know.
• 1:40:07
  Yeah.
• 1:40:08
  I'm sure it's much more expensive.
• 1:40:10
  Oh, sure.
• 1:40:11
  Absolutely.
• 1:40:12
  Without question.
• 1:40:13
  but you know the health benefits of switching from you know a seed oil to a traditional fat
• 1:40:21
  are huge right or just don't eat french fries well you probably shouldn't be eating fried foods in
• 1:40:29
  the first place but hey i don't even eat potatoes anymore so like i mean like i would love to have
• 1:40:36
  some but sweet potatoes yeah i guess i haven't tried those yet oh really no well i mean not the
• 1:40:44
  french fry part no yeah i don't have an air fryer that's we're gonna try that sweet potatoes in the
• 1:40:50
  air fryer probably won't be how it works probably not great is my guess but we'll see
• 1:40:55
  if it's good then hey there's another substitute sweet potato air fryer fries
• 1:41:02
  nice
• 1:41:05
  it'll be what it is
• 1:41:07
  alright
• 1:41:09
