• 0:01
  Oh, and welcome to another episode of Christian Ruth
• 0:04
  podcast. Today's guest hell is all the
• 0:06
  way from Canada, so I think I believe he's my first Canadian
• 0:09
  guest ever. That's right.
• 0:12
  Yes, so yeah, we really trying out all of the world as we go of
• 0:17
  all of these podcasts and I'm happy to say that Christopher
• 0:21
  James guest today is also a fellow podcaster and he saw
• 0:25
  recently got into this in. So in the last couple of months
• 0:28
  or so you've actually amassed quite a Few episodes in that
• 0:30
  time. Yeah so I feel that I can very
• 0:33
  much kind of relate to you on this because when closing in on
• 0:38
  40 episodes with the podcast so far for myself.
• 0:41
  But you know it's it's not so much about quantity, it's always
• 0:46
  about quality and you know, finding people finding the right
• 0:49
  topics so on and so forth. But what I really want to know
• 0:53
  before we sort of get into anything else is hello and
• 0:57
  welcome to the show. How are you doing?
• 1:01
  I'm doing what I'm doing. Well, I mean I just came back
• 1:03
  from shopping, so kind of It kind of sweaty because that's
• 1:06
  kind of warm today, for almost winter in Canada, is that even
• 1:11
  possible by simply? Yes, it's on.
• 1:13
  If I check the degrees on my phone real quick, it is, oh God.
• 1:17
  That's not great. That's Instagram.
• 1:19
  It is currently 18 degrees Celsius.
• 1:23
  Only another to Celsius, to all, you know, more or I'm happy with
• 1:28
  Celsius in what they are. We're normally precise measuring
• 1:34
  temperature. We have Fahrenheit, but whether
• 1:37
  it's like Celsius is that yeah. All right.
• 1:39
  Yeah, right. Right.
• 1:40
  That, that would that. That makes actually way more
• 1:42
  sense than what? Yeah, hang on.
• 1:45
  That's what we do as well. What we're talking about?
• 1:46
  Yeah, that makes sense. That, that is the way everyone
• 1:49
  else should do it. This whole, oh, it's nice.
• 1:53
  It's like, it's like, 72 degrees Fahrenheit today.
• 1:56
  It's like 72 degrees with Martin, that Celsius some 72
• 2:00
  degrees Celsius. Holy crap, that's death.
• 2:03
  I thought he'd like to bike or kid.
• 2:07
  I hated by can go up to about 50 or 60 apparently degrees Celsius
• 2:15
  Jesus. Yeah, it's the sort of weather
• 2:17
  from what I've heard from people.
• 2:19
  I know that have lived there is that when it gets that hot, you
• 2:23
  can't go outside. You physically.
• 2:25
  Can't you have to like stay inside and kind of wait until
• 2:27
  the temperature drops to a kind of of safe amount which is nuts
• 2:32
  to me. And I feel like if it ever gets
• 2:36
  like 50 degrees Celsius in Canada and we nobody would be
• 2:39
  going out decider. You're inside with air
• 2:41
  conditioning on and just staying cool or basic.
• 2:44
  That's it because I feel like if you have a pool the water will
• 2:46
  start to get hot and that's not good in the summer but it's not
• 2:50
  the summer now it's like fall almost winter at this point and
• 2:54
  18 degrees because you it is surprising to me because I think
• 2:58
  Canada is always Generally known for like the amount of snow that
• 3:02
  you have, and that kind of weather.
• 3:04
  So it's interesting to hear obviously the reverse and it
• 3:07
  does make sense because obviously, you know, with
• 3:09
  America is such a massive continent, but Canada is a
• 3:11
  pretty large and America. Central America is a country,
• 3:16
  the confidence, North America, that's what I mean.
• 3:19
  Yeah, basically, it's a country and a continent.
• 3:21
  Yeah. Well, it depends.
• 3:24
  I mean if like, when I'm in my head, I'm thinking of North
• 3:27
  America when I said North America be the whole it.
• 3:30
  All of America was here takes into account nothing so yeah,
• 3:33
  yeah. But it's interesting to me to
• 3:37
  hear that kind of contrast in the summer versus the winter and
• 3:41
  so on because I was in the UK we do have quite a hot summer but
• 3:45
  it's Typically, it's always kind of been like certain periods and
• 3:50
  the rest of the time. It's either a really rainy or
• 3:52
  its kind of muggy. I'll be the best way I can put
• 3:56
  it. Yeah.
• 3:58
  Anyway, our summers I think I can do some of the things are
• 4:03
  slowly starting to get harder and harder each year.
• 4:06
  And I think the most we've ever hit like either, like dirty, I
• 4:10
  think we've had 30 plus well, she has a point.
• 4:13
  I don't remember much because summers are nice.
• 4:16
  Like, To the point that you're sweating.
• 4:19
  But it's nice because it's mostly cold.
• 4:22
  It's the same. It's the same in the UK.
• 4:25
  The weather is, I'd say in the last 15 years has changed
• 4:27
  dramatically and it's kind of nice on one hand, but also very
• 4:32
  worrying. So it's like, okay, this is
• 4:35
  great. But what about in 30 years, you
• 4:38
  know? I mean it's it's gonna get
• 4:39
  really bad, it's already bad. But yeah, anyway, I just want to
• 4:46
  keep this This one candidate for the time.
• 4:49
  Being given the news that we've just literally just got now,
• 4:53
  obviously in America, they've just decided decided on their
• 4:56
  presidential elects its Joe Biden.
• 4:59
  Finally got Trump out of four days, but I know it's something.
• 5:03
  It's kind of crazy how long it took, but I suppose it's one of
• 5:06
  those situations where you do want to be sure when you've got
• 5:09
  a guy like Donald Trump in office, it's you want to make
• 5:12
  sure you know there's no sort of going back and it does seem like
• 5:15
  there's an overwhelming kind of Jarrah tea but bringing focusing
• 5:21
  it on yourself and guess what? Canadian perspective I wanted to
• 5:24
  ask sort of what your thoughts on it were because obviously,
• 5:28
  you've got a very different government in place and it seems
• 5:32
  a lot more. I would say, maybe liberal maybe
• 5:36
  is the right word to use, it's there's there's various things
• 5:40
  that been passed over the years in Canada that suggests a very
• 5:43
  different way of living and almost the kind of ideally
• 5:46
  idyllic way of living soul. Example, some of the things I
• 5:49
  know have been passed in Canada in the last say, five, ten years
• 5:53
  include marijuana usage, I believe.
• 5:56
  And also I believe you have a law now for for gender.
• 6:01
  So if someone identifies with in sort of like a third gender, I
• 6:07
  don't know how you put category, should we say, then people have
• 6:11
  to kind of respect that and if they don't there's issues with
• 6:14
  that. So it's kind of a thing that
• 6:16
  kind of protects And backs them up from the law.
• 6:19
  And I believe, Canada is the first nation to actually do
• 6:23
  that. I haven't heard of anywhere else
• 6:24
  in the world. That's actually done.
• 6:25
  That could be wrong on that, but that's what I've heard.
• 6:29
  I mean, I don't know if you're wrong.
• 6:30
  I don't know if you're hurt. I don't really follow up with
• 6:33
  that stuff. It sounds right though.
• 6:36
  Sounds right. I don't know if I think so.
• 6:40
  Okay. Well then bring it back to the
• 6:45
  presidential kind of area. How does it compare living in
• 6:49
  Canada and your perspective on everything that's going on in
• 6:52
  America versus sort of living and being in Canada?
• 6:57
  I mean, let's be honest, I love my family.
• 6:59
  We follow along more American news than Canadian news because
• 7:03
  nothing really happens here that's like interesting.
• 7:06
  I love kind of trust, but the American Music.
• 7:09
  American News is much more interesting than Canadian news
• 7:13
  because, but this is entire like me going on, I'm knocking, come
• 7:17
  It does affect us in some way because then, if anything
• 7:22
  happens that we have to do something about it, because
• 7:24
  we're taking the allies with America.
• 7:26
  If you don't like World War stuff, then Canada and us for, I
• 7:30
  don't know, I don't know my history that well, but still it.
• 7:34
  I don't really have many opinions on like politics stuff.
• 7:37
  In America is I don't really like getting into politics how
• 7:39
  much because yeah if what you can have more of like a really
• 7:43
  controversial and almost endless conversation about it with
• 7:46
  somebody who does Because let's say I knew a lot about politics.
• 7:49
  I don't know that much and if I'm having a discussion with
• 7:52
  somebody who has a lot of knowledge about politics, holy
• 7:56
  crap, is that going to be like most controversial and just
• 8:00
  heated discussion ever, I know what you have.
• 8:03
  Do you have those topics? I like are interesting to
• 8:07
  discuss but can like get heated fast in?
• 8:10
  Like, everybody's opinions, get scared.
• 8:13
  And well, I mean, I think this is the kind of thing behind In
• 8:17
  general, because I know where you're coming from.
• 8:19
  Like, obviously, I have issues that I'm passionate about, but
• 8:23
  over the years, as I've gotten older, the thing that I like to
• 8:25
  do more and more is understand other people's perspectives and
• 8:30
  particularly people whose thoughts, and, and ideas kind of
• 8:35
  contrast with my own because you never know what you might learn.
• 8:38
  And also, I find a lot of the time.
• 8:41
  You can be proven wrong with things, typically, facts figures
• 8:46
  or even just general Oops and stuff.
• 8:47
  So if you keep like an open mind to things, you can kind of
• 8:50
  continuously learn and stuff even from people that you
• 8:54
  disagree with, but I think a lot of the time, as you say, when
• 8:57
  you get into, like, discussions with people particularly
• 8:59
  politically Focus people, they get really impassioned and stuck
• 9:04
  to their particular political leaning.
• 9:06
  Yeah. And they won't budge.
• 9:08
  They just see it as like, I have to win this.
• 9:10
  I have to win this and I think that's the problem because then
• 9:13
  you can't have a discussion with that person because they're
• 9:17
  They're just not open-minded there to feel like focused on
• 9:21
  this one thing that they want. And so yeah, no, this is what
• 9:25
  I'm doing. I'm focused on this.
• 9:26
  I'm not talking about anything else and that's just what's
• 9:30
  wrong. I'm happy violent won't even
• 9:32
  though it's like I'm like if I was American in that sense, I
• 9:35
  think I would have voted for him.
• 9:37
  I don't know. I don't like thinking about if I
• 9:40
  was American. I like being Canadian.
• 9:43
  I like kind of a lot better than America.
• 9:45
  Let's be honest. But I gotta say, like, I have a
• 9:48
  very love-hate relationship with America's.
• 9:50
  I got a lot of American friends. I've also got people.
• 9:53
  I know who are American. I don't like some very general
• 9:56
  to me, and I think I put it down to just people again with this
• 10:00
  entire election. That because I expected to wake
• 10:03
  up Wednesday morning, I think it was like, the net the following
• 10:05
  day, like, on my way to get ready to go, to work and go on
• 10:09
  like Google and check see who won.
• 10:12
  Yeah, and I expected it so much like, okay, Polly like one's
• 10:15
  going to win. We know that much. and we all
• 10:18
  close going to be drunk, because Back infant to us 2016.
• 10:24
  The first time him versus on Hillary Clinton, We All Fall.
• 10:27
  Click like Hillary's gonna win, and then from just soak it all
• 10:30
  up somehow. And we all expected, like he's
• 10:32
  gonna win, he's gonna win this licorice.
• 10:34
  Crap. Try not to 64 so much, and we
• 10:37
  also are doing and then waking up next day.
• 10:40
  No one has been lost because nobody was to 2-under 70 votes
• 10:42
  yet and then, to the point that he declared himself a winner on
• 10:47
  Election night and told him stop counting the vote.
• 10:49
  But here's the thing, if they were to stop counting, The votes
• 10:53
  at that time, he would have still lost because he was still
• 10:55
  been behind by didn't because I just had more votes in and
• 10:59
  buying was that 253, for three days.
• 11:03
  I think three, four days at this point and then today, like, I'm
• 11:07
  on my way going home, and my mom says, it's like she gets a call
• 11:11
  from my brother and said, like all Biden picked up a state and
• 11:16
  he either needed Arizona or Nevada to win.
• 11:19
  Or just Pennsylvania and he was somehow leading in Pennsylvania.
• 11:23
  Overtaking, Trump. Thank God.
• 11:25
  Somehow that happened and said, like, I got two hundred seventy
• 11:28
  three votes. He wants like so he picked up,
• 11:30
  Pennsylvania, didn't even expect that had first, because if
• 11:34
  you're only keeping track with that electoral map and stuff,
• 11:38
  Trump is leading in Pennsylvania by a lot of one points.
• 11:42
  And then slowly over time, it went down.
• 11:44
  Because they're counted in the mail in votes, and the mail, in
• 11:47
  votes, Biden favors more with. And I think It's 60% of them to
• 11:51
  get Pennsylvania. I'm guessing he did because he
• 11:56
  just got declared President and let's be honest.
• 12:00
  I'm glad to see the Oompa Loompa go because just I'm not kidding
• 12:06
  because we all cook Trump like this where they can I call him
• 12:09
  an Oompa Loompa because his face is so orange.
• 12:12
  Just why this is but down up now, America is going to go
• 12:17
  crazy and hectic because There are people saying that if Biden
• 12:21
  wins that, like, Americans just going to start killing other
• 12:24
  people because of it and it's going to go to like stars Civil
• 12:27
  War did. Yeah, this is the crazy thing
• 12:30
  about it. My like, I'm kind of Blown Away
• 12:32
  by because a lot. Okay, I'm not saying all Trump
• 12:35
  supporters are like this, but a lot of them are kind of racist
• 12:41
  or very close-minded people, right?
• 12:43
  Yeah. It really blows my mind that a
• 12:45
  country that's founded on immigration.
• 12:51
  Is so inherently racist, and don't get me wrong, you've got
• 12:53
  groups, like the KKK and shit like that, then, you know, and
• 12:56
  it's historically been, you know, those kind of groups have
• 13:00
  always been in existence. It just blows my mind to the
• 13:05
  extent Janome like Trump had a massive following and still
• 13:11
  does. And that to me, is the biggest
• 13:15
  concern June. And, I mean, the fact that he
• 13:18
  was able to Rally these Poor so many of them and they were
• 13:22
  blindly follow like that. And they would not kind of
• 13:26
  listen to any logic at all. And like I said you before
• 13:30
  they're not the sort of people that you can have a decent
• 13:33
  discussion with, you know, the like you said those sort of
• 13:35
  people that will set that say things like well, if Biden winds
• 13:39
  were going to shoot these people.
• 13:40
  What like I know that a lot of people in America are very
• 13:44
  trigger-happy and obviously it's been very well documented, how
• 13:48
  the problem with guns. And in that Nation.
• 13:50
  But it's crazy to think like how easily people will mobilize when
• 13:56
  they just and react in that way, when they're presented with
• 14:00
  something that they don't like, you know, it's like, I can
• 14:04
  understand, you know, not being happy with a different, you
• 14:10
  know, Nate party, being control your country.
• 14:13
  I, for example, I'm not a massive politics guy, but I'm
• 14:16
  not a big fan of the conservative party in the UK,
• 14:19
  which is the current party running the u.k. right now.
• 14:22
  But with that being said, like the way I see politics.
• 14:24
  It's every party has good and bad.
• 14:27
  It just tends to favor certain people in society.
• 14:30
  That's always how it's how it's been, right?
• 14:34
  Yeah and I think the from where Trump is that, you know, it's
• 14:38
  kind of like there's a lot of extremist ideals in in that
• 14:41
  particular Administration that he was pushing and the delusions
• 14:47
  the way he's reacting right now. Is kind of an and like, for out
• 14:52
  his presidency has to me, is, you know, just signified just
• 14:57
  how delusional on how scary it is to have a delusional leader,
• 15:01
  running your country. Like what that means for your
• 15:04
  people for your nation. I mean, the very fact of in that
• 15:07
  first debate when you know he sort of didn't come out and say
• 15:11
  it, but he pretty much sort of said like hey guys stand by, you
• 15:14
  know, wait for my orders sort of thing you know.
• 15:16
  It's like fucked to hear that. Yeah.
• 15:20
  So real, I booted liked his staff and stuff are trying to
• 15:24
  coax him to try and move on because he doesn't want it.
• 15:28
  Please like the cool fish, he's scared to lose, he doesn't want
• 15:32
  to lose but different areas he tried getting states to recount
• 15:35
  the votes and the Supreme Court I think the night it is as much
• 15:40
  as you're going to recount the vote.
• 15:41
  If it goes out to the same conclusion, he's just going to
• 15:44
  try to put, he tried to prolong prolong this function and that's
• 15:48
  why it took so long. Because he sued States for
• 15:52
  countywide saying, it's a fraud and whatever and he's not going
• 15:55
  sleep. And I think they're now counting
• 15:57
  overseas votes right now, which I still think it's gonna
• 16:00
  probably favor and buy it and somehow I'm not that sure.
• 16:04
  Let's be honest. Yeah.
• 16:07
  Like they're trying to work out like kind to help him move on
• 16:11
  and just like go about your day but he doesn't want with us
• 16:15
  today. He's so focused on like I want
• 16:18
  to stay here, I To win his second term even though he
• 16:21
  hasn't the facts are out there to take counted the votes.
• 16:25
  They, he tried pulling yet, he failed with that, but he doesn't
• 16:29
  want to accept it. Yeah, that kind of blows my mind
• 16:32
  as well. Like, I mean, they got the guy,
• 16:35
  you know, many people in their life can say that they were
• 16:36
  president of a country. Do you know what I mean?
• 16:39
  Yeah, even if there's a couple of things here, like one being
• 16:43
  gracious in defeat, you know, it's never a bad thing to lose.
• 16:46
  If anything, it teaches you a lot in life and, you know, It's
• 16:49
  still a major success. You ran a country for four
• 16:52
  years. You're close to five years, you
• 16:54
  know, me and it's okay. Yeah, sure.
• 16:57
  You're going to be judged on that, but, you know, Against
• 16:59
  Time and a lot of people will say you were good for the
• 17:02
  country. A lot of people we say you're
• 17:03
  bad but it doesn't matter how well you do know, there are
• 17:06
  people that love and hate a bomber still to this day Jan and
• 17:09
  I mean, it doesn't matter what you do, but I think we've Trump,
• 17:13
  the kind of memory from this point onwards is always going to
• 17:17
  be like the guy was delusional. The guy was crazed acted like a
• 17:22
  child, and, you know, many of us around the world, like, yeah, in
• 17:25
  Canada and the UK, and other European countries will just
• 17:28
  kind of looking with, like, Fascination America right now.
• 17:31
  Like, I feel a lot of PE for people there because of what
• 17:34
  they have to deal with especially under this
• 17:36
  illustration. But I'm more kind of just
• 17:39
  entranced by this this character of Donald Trump.
• 17:42
  Like I've said, since the very beginning of his presidency that
• 17:44
  I feel that he it's like, it's like he thinks that he's still
• 17:49
  on. Reality TV show.
• 17:52
  And like that's that's it was kind of funny at first but then
• 17:55
  it kind of got scary after a while.
• 17:57
  It's like no this is worrying. This is like a very kind of
• 18:01
  clearly sick man. Yeah.
• 18:03
  And just like obviously that the worst part about that is is the
• 18:08
  implications of what that means for the people of the u.s. like
• 18:11
  you said, you know, you've got kind of two different groups.
• 18:15
  You know, you've got this kind of Civil War situation going on.
• 18:18
  Like there's a lot of people I've heard that say that, you
• 18:20
  know, the The thing is not really about race that obviously
• 18:24
  is but like the real thing that the government has trying to be
• 18:29
  trying to push is a class kind of issue.
• 18:32
  Jen. And I mean like yeah and like
• 18:36
  even if it's just been interesting like the president's
• 18:38
  response to the BLM protests and this is a very beginning trying
• 18:43
  to say that it's you know, really violent and it's all went
• 18:46
  and tifa's doing it and it's like everyone I've spoken to
• 18:49
  that's actually done protests And been there in person, you
• 18:53
  know, always says that it's the violence.
• 18:57
  If you like, is either coming from police to have too much
• 19:00
  power or in some extreme cases. You're just crazy Trump
• 19:06
  supporters, but even the Trump supporters were apparently,
• 19:09
  like, not that bad during those, you know, June.
• 19:13
  During those marches, it was more like when they're at their
• 19:15
  rallies. That it's an issue.
• 19:18
  Yeah, I think about like Trump's, Didn't see when they
• 19:24
  said he got the virus and then somehow he recovered like, my,
• 19:34
  my parents were saying, I'm pretty sure my friends.
• 19:36
  I think said it's a hoax. It's not it's not really just
• 19:38
  trying to get attention. Mmm.
• 19:40
  What part of me, kind of believes that, but it also could
• 19:43
  actually have happened. He is an old man and he's kind
• 19:45
  of program his state of mind. He doesn't like this, we'll just
• 19:49
  think, and whatever masking stuff he Doesn't do that
• 19:53
  necessarily. So it could have happened.
• 19:56
  It could not happen. I don't think it happened
• 19:58
  because of how fast he was able to recover because like all the
• 20:02
  gave me this experimental drugs and whatnot.
• 20:04
  Okay. If it worked for you then try
• 20:08
  some other people and if it works for them and go ahead.
• 20:12
  Yeah that's that's the tricky thing man.
• 20:14
  I still haven't really made my mind up about covid-19 because
• 20:16
  I've had family members that have had it, you know, my nana
• 20:19
  and Granddad called it at one point.
• 20:21
  So I was The scared at that point they're in their 60s but
• 20:25
  they kicked it fairly quickly I'd say within a week or so, you
• 20:31
  know. And then I've known other people
• 20:32
  younger. They've had it for much longer.
• 20:34
  You know, I've had like hanging symptoms and maybe they kicked
• 20:39
  the initial stages, but then, they just feel like fatigue for
• 20:41
  like a month or something. So I think it's, it's like they
• 20:47
  are a lot of scientists say, it's mutating and that's the
• 20:50
  issue. That's why it's Difficult to
• 20:52
  treat it because yeah, mutate so quickly.
• 20:55
  And obviously, every person's immune system is so different.
• 20:58
  So everyone will react to the virus in a different way.
• 21:02
  Yeah, but I know what you mean, like, yeah.
• 21:05
  He's a very old man. Donald Trump was like in his
• 21:07
  70s. It was the same for Boris
• 21:09
  Johnson. The leader of the UK, he got as
• 21:12
  well. Yeah.
• 21:13
  And he kicked it fairly quickly to and I'm not going to lie, the
• 21:19
  thought did cross my mind when both of them caught.
• 21:22
  Like this is Camille what? Yeah, this could boost be an
• 21:26
  attempt, you know, Curry favor and stuff.
• 21:29
  Yeah. Curry favor.
• 21:30
  Curry sympathy. Yeah.
• 21:32
  Which you know you don't want to be cynical but let's be honest
• 21:37
  like politicians lie all the time so it's wouldn't be a
• 21:40
  surprise but I think with with with Boris Johnson it was a bit
• 21:45
  more obvious that he did get it because he was so dismissive.
• 21:51
  Missive of covid-19 in the beginning.
• 21:53
  It was like shaking everyone's hands.
• 21:55
  Being my God, this is a fast, this is you ignore this, it's
• 21:58
  silly. And then fast forward a month
• 22:00
  later and he's like, okay, we're in lockdown.
• 22:03
  It's serious problem. Yeah.
• 22:05
  Yeah, speaking of covid-19, actually, I wanted to ask how
• 22:10
  has covid-19 affected Canada. How is it changed living in
• 22:15
  Canada? Or what's your personal
• 22:17
  experience with covid-19 in Canada?
• 22:19
  I don't have that one for like a stalker.
• 22:22
  Like nobody that I've known husband.
• 22:25
  I mean, I know people who have gotten in nobody in my family.
• 22:27
  I think I could be wrong. I don't remember much like the
• 22:31
  early as like early years early months, when this all started
• 22:34
  back in March, when he started going to lock down because I
• 22:38
  remember Mark 12 like Thursday, March 12 2020.
• 22:43
  I remember the exact date because that was the last time I
• 22:45
  was ever in my high school. Oh a lot of time I was ever in
• 22:48
  school and the day after I said no that's That same night
• 22:52
  because I had to go in for the competing for my senior trip,
• 22:56
  those gonna happen in April, and the following night around like
• 23:00
  10:00 here, they said that the schools are turning down and
• 23:05
  then the next day on Friday, the 13th, spooky and Mark, yeah,
• 23:09
  whatever they said, schools are closing for two weeks.
• 23:13
  Hmm. Sometime during that descends
• 23:15
  closing until May Run tables that are closing for the rest of
• 23:19
  the year. So at that point, we are senior
• 23:22
  trip and little game console. And I mean to, like, refund,
• 23:26
  every Thing took a long time. I don't know.
• 23:30
  Still going on. Probably is.
• 23:32
  But so I missed out on going to Central Europe?
• 23:35
  Was going to not only my first time on a plane my first time.
• 23:38
  So outside of Canada because I've never been outside of
• 23:40
  Canada. Wow.
• 23:42
  Because I've only called the Mosaic how it was going to
• 23:44
  Ontario, right? Okay, and that's it.
• 23:48
  We were supposed to go to Nova Scotia this year by train.
• 23:50
  Where are you based again? Sorry.
• 23:52
  Quebec Quebec, right? That makes sense.
• 23:54
  Yeah. So we're supposed to know what's
• 23:57
  going to go by train. And the canceling it because
• 24:00
  this entire pandemic. So and us the class of 2020 we
• 24:06
  never got our prom because that will end up getting canceled.
• 24:09
  Isn't that originally postponed to the 23rd of October.
• 24:15
  Hmm, but before that, I think got cancelled because it makes
• 24:19
  sense and I'm actually kind of happy.
• 24:21
  It was canceled. I think them sucks.
• 24:23
  Everything that I have a prom but also make sense.
• 24:26
  I'm happy. It's canceled because how the
• 24:28
  hell you Going to do a high school prom during a pandemic.
• 24:31
  Yeah, if every trying to like social distance of wear masks,
• 24:34
  you can like rent, like a decent-sized room for the entire
• 24:39
  class or the Tiger grade, but you can only go to like a few
• 24:43
  spots in that second because if you're trying to still remain
• 24:46
  socially distance and whatever and wasn't actually going to
• 24:49
  work and I'm glad they canceled it.
• 24:52
  But one thing we have our graduation, I think sometime in
• 24:56
  January, It's also been postponed from the 25th October
• 25:00
  now and that I'm trying to still wonder how they're going to do.
• 25:05
  Because usually it's like you have the entire class in their
• 25:09
  cap and gown sitting together. Yeah, next weekend.
• 25:13
  And I'm trying to wonder how we going to do.
• 25:15
  That will try to remain socially distancing and where mass is
• 25:18
  keeping safe, which is going to be the hard part, and I hope
• 25:23
  they don't end up answering it. Because if they do, then we
• 25:26
  wouldn't have gotten gotten a real graduation.
• 25:28
  We like us, we missed out on a lot of stuff like, senior trips.
• 25:32
  We missed out on a paint fight. I know that They were going to
• 25:36
  paint fight through the end of the year because like that's
• 25:38
  like sacrifice stuff like and listen like a bad kind of
• 25:43
  whatever if we don't feel like great 11th, grade 12, whatever
• 25:46
  because we say secondary because the secondary school you're like
• 25:51
  us you know? So we go everyone the secondary
• 25:55
  5 which is great 7. Yeah.
• 25:56
  The grade 11 and that kids we don't really have Middle School
• 26:00
  here because I mean we do have one but I think that's the only
• 26:06
  one I know of because it's kindergarten through grade 6,
• 26:09
  then SEC, 1 2, SEC 5 and then you in say app which is college
• 26:14
  and university whatever. And I know in America they have
• 26:17
  great 12 which is their last year of high school knocking
• 26:21
  another year in that high school that I went to, don't get me
• 26:23
  wrong. I love my high school but it's
• 26:25
  also kind of like a prison. Yeah, it's funny, but whatever,
• 26:32
  and with his entire covid situation, We had to like do
• 26:38
  online classes, it's like quickly adopted at mmm and at
• 26:41
  this point most of us how I know, there's some people that
• 26:45
  still aren't used to it, but I think I have gotten used to,
• 26:48
  because I'm doing it for college as well.
• 26:51
  So, I don't mind it. I actually like kind of like it
• 26:55
  because it's smart as well but I know that some classes have to
• 27:00
  be done in person. Yeah.
• 27:03
  And if that comes to the case that next semester for me, die
• 27:06
  after you have to go in person to do some classes, I'm I'm
• 27:10
  still going like to be safe. I wear a mask that when I go
• 27:13
  outside, like, when I'm walking to work, for example, there
• 27:17
  could be nobody on the sidewalk, I'm still wearing my mask, Like,
• 27:21
  I could like take it off in like, Brie whatever.
• 27:23
  I usually do it on my way home, because I'm more exhausted.
• 27:25
  But I still wear my mask. I don't care.
• 27:27
  I'm not gonna take it off, even if I am alone, his that's just
• 27:31
  my sense of mind. Yeah.
• 27:34
  And in Canada, with this entire covid thing, we think we've
• 27:38
  handled it. Well, then again, we found a
• 27:41
  bunch of new stuff in March, and April, and that stuff.
• 27:45
  And I was like following along with it at the time, but then,
• 27:49
  again, we weren't in school. We're doing basically nothing,
• 27:53
  there is nothing to do. Not much because all we can do
• 27:57
  is go off shopping because stores are open and because
• 28:02
  that's what we need like groceries and stuff.
• 28:05
  That's like one of the few things we could have able to do
• 28:07
  it because most things were closed, my dad was out of a job
• 28:11
  for a few months because he works at a restaurant and
• 28:16
  restaurants closed down and then the reopened and they closed
• 28:19
  down again. So like, right now, Let's
• 28:25
  compare UK to Canada for once in on this basis.
• 28:28
  So, like right now we've just re-entered a lockdown but for we
• 28:34
  had our initial Lockdown from, let's say March till sometime in
• 28:39
  early summer, I think. And then since then, it's kind
• 28:41
  of been Regional. There's been differences between
• 28:45
  areas and staff in terms of lockdown rules.
• 28:47
  But for the most part, it's been this thing of you have what we
• 28:52
  call, Finn a social bubbles. Then my dad like groups that
• 28:57
  always hang around with each other but never mix with other
• 29:00
  groups stuff like that. It's been very hazy.
• 29:02
  They've not really been very concrete with with the
• 29:07
  instructions. And so, for example, right now
• 29:10
  we're in lockdown. But, you know, you've got like
• 29:12
  schools open University. Doesn't make any sense, right?
• 29:16
  And lock down. Try to keep everybody safe but
• 29:17
  the same time you want to do like the children till it be
• 29:20
  educated. Just I understand you want.
• 29:23
  Sometimes you At schools open because it's not like the same
• 29:26
  like fruit screen. And I understand that much like
• 29:29
  I would prefer like I prefer always prefer going in school.
• 29:33
  They are doing online because it's not the same.
• 29:36
  You're not getting the same interactions.
• 29:38
  Yeah. But I agree.
• 29:40
  I agree to keep safe. Like if you like want to like
• 29:44
  have fewer cases and you want to keep everybody safe.
• 29:47
  I don't think you should open schools again and if you do just
• 29:51
  keep it safe. It's like either, huh?
• 29:54
  Them slowly, adapt to online learning because I know what
• 29:59
  we're doing at my high school. My old high school, I think they
• 30:02
  have certain like groups going in on certain days, like,
• 30:06
  students. With last names from a to L, for
• 30:08
  example. And then am to this go on these
• 30:11
  days. That's a sensible idea.
• 30:14
  That's a very sensible. Yeah.
• 30:15
  Like, certain grades going on, like turn days as well.
• 30:18
  Yeah, you not. The entire school is there at
• 30:21
  once. Like usually it is.
• 30:22
  Yeah. You minimize the risk by always
• 30:24
  keep. The same group of people
• 30:26
  together and they've gone, I think over 20 days before the
• 30:30
  positive case there, because I won't Point like late September.
• 30:33
  And we got the news that somebody a, my school tested
• 30:36
  positive. Yeah.
• 30:37
  Got everything down. She's what?
• 30:41
  I mean. And now they like back up and
• 30:45
  get have a board. We have like our message board
• 30:47
  like they go on 21, I lost my cell 21 days without a positive
• 30:51
  case is it You know what happy? But like if anything happens
• 30:59
  they know what to do. Yeah, we've already adopted to
• 31:01
  online learning before so I respect I respect that kind of
• 31:05
  responsive nature. The anyways, have going on that
• 31:07
  sensible to me. I mean I think the problem in
• 31:09
  the UK has been and this is the main sort of grievance that we
• 31:13
  have. Well, we have two main
• 31:15
  grievances with the government. As far as their handling of the
• 31:18
  covid-19, pandemic here in the UK and it's mostly been You
• 31:24
  know, sort of unclear instructions that contradict all
• 31:28
  other rules. And, you know, silly things like
• 31:31
  okay, pubs can be open, but they can only be open till 10:00.
• 31:35
  And then it changed to pubs, can be open, but only pubs that
• 31:39
  serve food, because somehow, there's less of a risk.
• 31:42
  If you're getting a meal like this idiotic stuff like that
• 31:44
  doesn't make any sense, right? Right, like that, Justin I mean,
• 31:47
  okay, if you're out like a bar, that we would call them bars and
• 31:51
  pubs. Yeah.
• 31:53
  I mean, it's a nice way to it's the same thing, but we call them
• 31:55
  bars. So, you go into a bar and only
• 31:57
  one that serves food, that Foods being handled as it's being made
• 32:04
  by somebody. So I'm like, I know they're
• 32:07
  trying to get sick. Like they might be wearing
• 32:08
  gloves, and whatever, but it's still being in a way handled by
• 32:13
  somebody else. So if you can still contract it
• 32:15
  from, I don't know if that's the impulse, but you and I but it's
• 32:19
  this is my perspective on this, as well as make sense.
• 32:22
  Yeah, I think Keith like black bars open, not only serve food,
• 32:27
  that makes less sense and keep him bars opened and like there's
• 32:31
  only serving drinks. That's like I think only serving
• 32:33
  drinks to be in a way safer because you only have one person
• 32:37
  handling it. No houses multiple people like
• 32:41
  Sarah. Think I actually considered that
• 32:44
  before? I think the thing for the for
• 32:46
  the most part you know, you're always going to be a risk.
• 32:49
  Yeah. During this situation, it's just
• 32:51
  like you said, there's always going to be So for example, if
• 32:53
  you have, you know, restaurants open just for takeaways, you're
• 32:58
  always going to have people who are handling the food this and
• 33:00
  that the other. So you're never going to fully
• 33:02
  eliminate the risk, you're just minimizing it.
• 33:05
  Yeah, I think that, I mean, obviously, I am not a world
• 33:09
  leader or something, but I think if I was approaching this my
• 33:12
  view would be. Let's try to run things as much
• 33:16
  as we can. But, you know, in that kind of
• 33:19
  logical way, we're we're avoiding certain Things as much
• 33:23
  as we can. So for instance, I think you
• 33:24
  could even do, you could do. Yeah, High School graduations.
• 33:28
  You could do sporting events. You could do wrestling events
• 33:32
  but you have to do it at limited capacity.
• 33:36
  Like for instance, you know, the American wrestling company all
• 33:40
  elite wrestling as an example, it's a new company.
• 33:44
  There is any way they've sort of reintroduced fans into the fold
• 33:50
  at this particular site. They're operating from, but 10%
• 33:53
  capacity. So I think if the venue is let's
• 33:56
  say, 4,000 you probably got like 500, some yeah, very, very small
• 34:02
  handful and there's like a big gap between the all the people
• 34:05
  and stuff but you've still got a presence there.
• 34:07
  You've got people enjoying it, putting money into it, right?
• 34:11
  But it's not the same spectacle do it was but it's still running
• 34:15
  on some level. I like what you said about
• 34:17
  schools, you know, operating in a way where it's like, okay
• 34:21
  we've only got these people for these Pacific days.
• 34:23
  So we're still running the school.
• 34:25
  We're just running it in this limited capacity.
• 34:27
  Like I think that that's the approach, we need to have moving
• 34:31
  forward. Like that's why I personally
• 34:33
  disagree with the lockdown, we currently have in the UK because
• 34:35
  it's like you're just part of my language fucking the businesses.
• 34:39
  You know. Not not the big ones but the
• 34:41
  independent ones like for instance, like you know your
• 34:43
  father's place like with a restaurant or something, that's
• 34:45
  the people they get affected. I come.
• 34:49
  I do volunteering in the city center where I live in
• 34:52
  Manhattan. Chester in UK.
• 34:54
  So I'm basically like driving around this city, you know,
• 34:57
  donating stuff to people taking donations, blah, blah, blah.
• 35:00
  And the one thing that really struck me, when I was looking
• 35:03
  just as this new lockdown, was introduced was just the rows
• 35:07
  upon rows upon rows of just shut down shops that you just know.
• 35:13
  I'm not going to be there in a couple of months time because,
• 35:17
  you know, you know, the money always goes to the large company
• 35:22
  here. You know, it's always the same.
• 35:24
  It's like when we had the 2008 recession and the big Banks were
• 35:27
  bailed out by the government. The government in East ends
• 35:30
  tends to care for certain Industries and companies and so
• 35:35
  on, like the middleman, the little man, it doesn't matter.
• 35:39
  It's like, you know, fend for yourself first with restaurants
• 35:44
  because I know where my dad works like the place, like his
• 35:48
  restaurant. There's only like a certain
• 35:50
  amount of people indicating the same time.
• 35:52
  So there's not many people. We still have enough people to,
• 35:55
  like, do everything in like, to take out, whatever.
• 35:57
  But you still try and keep this in seems like, maybe 34 people
• 36:01
  Max. Yeah, I doing Go, which is
• 36:04
  enough. So you're still like able to
• 36:08
  produce what you can do. I'll still try and keep it safe
• 36:12
  and like those small businesses, there's a small business that
• 36:15
  like our quaint and everybody knows like everybody loves.
• 36:19
  It's just not going to be there because shut down and the
• 36:23
  money's like as you say going to the big companies whatever and
• 36:26
  they're just not going to be they're going to lose out on
• 36:28
  stuff. That's is almost like I want to
• 36:33
  A iconic in some way. Yeah, I mean so smooth.
• 36:37
  Small businesses is always the backbone of any country because
• 36:40
  in that a day, like as much as people going on and on and on
• 36:44
  about big Brands and stuff, you know, you know, it's ready ever
• 36:47
  feel like, you know, a connection to like your local
• 36:51
  McDonald's or Starbucks or something to me.
• 36:53
  It's like, you feel like, I feel like some people do but like,
• 36:56
  no, yeah, they don't get me wrong.
• 36:57
  That's why I didn't say all people.
• 36:59
  Because I know there are, you know, big And I accept about
• 37:04
  Brands like apple and stuff and fine whatever.
• 37:06
  But, you know, generally speaking, it's the small
• 37:09
  businesses that in your area that you kind of feel some
• 37:13
  affection for you support you like you know, because it's
• 37:16
  different it's something different from the norm, you
• 37:19
  know, a lot of the time the contrast is when you're dealing
• 37:22
  with, you know those those kind of franchise like businesses.
• 37:25
  You're going there because you know what to expect and you know
• 37:29
  that you can get that in any location because it's the same
• 37:34
  Cell right? Yeah, but when it's a small-time
• 37:36
  place, you know, maybe you go out of your way to go to that
• 37:40
  place, or maybe you've been going there.
• 37:41
  Like, you know, for instance, I'd there was a fish and chip
• 37:44
  shop that myself and my granddad used to go to When We Were
• 37:46
  Young, since I was a kid, and I think it's still there, and it's
• 37:50
  like a family kind of experience, you know what I
• 37:53
  mean? Yeah, stuff like that.
• 37:55
  You can't recreate it. You can try.
• 37:57
  You know, I've seen I remember Starbucks, many, Do they
• 38:03
  acquired some particular brand and they started to try to
• 38:08
  create that kind of hipster style coffee shops, right.
• 38:14
  But you got to see that it was, there was no heart or soul in
• 38:18
  it. It was just that kind of that
• 38:20
  BS, that they were trying to get a handle like small, like family
• 38:25
  as Diner type places. Yeah, that actually has things
• 38:29
  like heart and soul put into it like it's an enjoyable.
• 38:33
  Royal Purple environment at a point.
• 38:34
  Yeah. And then once those are gone,
• 38:37
  you're going to lose out on something that you've probably
• 38:39
  like been too many years or something, or just go every once
• 38:43
  in a while, but it's still enjoyable and you just go back,
• 38:47
  this goes away and then hmm, it's like so atmosphere thing
• 38:53
  isn't it? Like, I think it's difficult to
• 38:56
  be able to buy an atmosphere often, you know, you build up
• 39:00
  over time or maybe it's a particular cloak.
• 39:03
  Sharon or something like that. But like, you know, I don't tend
• 39:07
  to feel that kind of feeling if I walk into like a Starbucks or
• 39:11
  a cost of coffee, sit down. Have a coffee doesn't doesn't
• 39:14
  feel know that kind of friendly environment that I would get in.
• 39:17
  Like, you can go to most places and find a Starbucks.
• 39:20
  Something like a few minutes. Yeah.
• 39:23
  And in some areas in London, it's like, they'll be like five
• 39:26
  cost of coffees in like, within a five-mile radius.
• 39:30
  It's ridiculous. Right?
• 39:31
  And for us in Canada, have something called Tim Hortons.
• 39:34
  Yes. Yeah.
• 39:36
  I love Tim Hortons first a bit slick Canadian staple.
• 39:39
  There's a chip importance here in Manchester if you can believe
• 39:41
  that think. Oh my God, it's in UK.
• 39:44
  Yeah. Honestly, think about see, it's
• 39:47
  weird. Manchester in the UK, is a
• 39:48
  strange place because we have a lot of American brands that I
• 39:52
  have to this day. Never seen any, because I grew
• 39:55
  up in London, and I never, I never saw a Tim Horton's or Taco
• 39:59
  Bell or something like that. But they actually have that here
• 40:01
  in Manchester I mean, there's like, like, I think I'm, there's
• 40:05
  like, a lot of American stuff that in Quebec.
• 40:08
  We don't have many of like, for example, Popeyes, like the fried
• 40:11
  chicken place you couldn't find those Across America.
• 40:14
  We have one, I think in Quebec, be like, in Ontario, but you'll
• 40:20
  see blame or these like American about.
• 40:21
  Take our beasts and Popeyes and whatever.
• 40:24
  But in Quebec here we don't have a lot of them.
• 40:27
  I think we have, like one Popeyes.
• 40:29
  I've never even seen it before this happens.
• 40:32
  When is my next Question. Actually, like, like II know a
• 40:37
  fair bit about America and I know it's like a reasonable
• 40:41
  amount about Canada, but, you know, given that you're Canadian
• 40:44
  and you give a better perspective on this, what would
• 40:46
  you say? I like the main differences
• 40:49
  between Canada and America. Let's just pretend that, like,
• 40:55
  we know nothing and you're trying to explain this to like
• 40:57
  an 8 or something. Like, well, how would you
• 40:59
  explain it? I mean, there's a lot of
• 41:03
  differences between Canada and America.
• 41:05
  I mean, first off, I want you to most obvious one, like, carrying
• 41:10
  like a gun on you because in America, you're, I think you're
• 41:16
  allowed to do that. Yes.
• 41:17
  A lot of the hard like a weapon on you, like you can be a
• 41:19
  Walmart, I understand. There's this picture number was
• 41:23
  it's like a mirror or something but it's a picture of post
• 41:25
  Malone at Walmart in America. This is a gun on him, just
• 41:29
  walking the like one with a pistol on you and just what?
• 41:35
  Like, no. Because we have thought like
• 41:38
  permits and stuff that's Maybe I like numbers and we can't.
• 41:42
  Wait, you just click bring it out in public and whatever sick
• 41:44
  for a hunting. Hmm, like that's a loud but this
• 41:49
  carrying it, like, willy nilly just like all artists like, no,
• 41:53
  that's like, I'm always like kind of in that mindset when I,
• 41:57
  if I ever decide to go to America, I just didn't know
• 42:00
  there's going to be people with weapons on them.
• 42:03
  Yeah. And it's going to kind of make
• 42:04
  me a bit worrisome. It's just like any point.
• 42:09
  You can just like, hear a gunshot.
• 42:11
  And just like that, and just kind of scary at the same time
• 42:17
  because I don't plan on ever going to America in future.
• 42:21
  I mean, let's be honest. I know which I know how you
• 42:25
  feel. Like, I went there six years ago
• 42:27
  and it was an incredible experience, that get me wrong,
• 42:30
  but I grew up kind of wanting to live there.
• 42:34
  You know, I was kind of sold in The American Dream, all that
• 42:36
  shit. And then when I went there, I
• 42:38
  got to say I that disappeared I no longer wanted to live there
• 42:45
  anymore because of many things what you said like I saw you
• 42:49
  know gangsters sitting in their car with a gun and you know drug
• 42:53
  addicts and it'll be on you get drug addicts in any country.
• 42:56
  Yeah but like in America you get massive areas and when you talk
• 43:01
  to some of these people, you kind of find out how the
• 43:03
  system's actually work or don't work in some cases, a lot of the
• 43:08
  time, like, homeless people out there.
• 43:10
  You know, they're not necessarily all drug addicts or
• 43:13
  all in really kind of messed up situations.
• 43:16
  A lot of them are kind of failed by the system and it's very
• 43:22
  difficult to kind of get back on track once you've been failed by
• 43:25
  that system, but yet as far as, like, the safety issue is
• 43:29
  concerned. Yeah, I couldn't agree more with
• 43:31
  you. Like obviously, it does vary
• 43:32
  from state to state, but yeah, there is that thought in your
• 43:34
  mind at all times, that you could just be shot randomly.
• 43:39
  Yeah. And like, you can Go to America.
• 43:41
  You can be mugged. Yeah, and all night, if you take
• 43:44
  it like a nice draw at night and don't remember night.
• 43:46
  Those are peaceful, hmm. Like they could be peaceful,
• 43:49
  didn't like if you're in America, you can get mugged.
• 43:51
  You can just let this stop and just you want to have any idea.
• 43:56
  What do I mean? Don't get me wrong.
• 43:58
  I'm pretty bad. Can happen, most places?
• 43:59
  Yeah, so it like always also going out at night, I mean as
• 44:04
  much as it's like nice and calming so so kind of got that
• 44:07
  fear that's like something could happen.
• 44:10
  I think I think the key issue is isn't is that like obviously in
• 44:14
  Canada and UK in other countries you have areas where that's more
• 44:21
  likely to happen. So you know okay this is a bad
• 44:24
  area. I've really got to be on my God
• 44:25
  hit but like most of the time you can walk down your local
• 44:28
  High Street or local town like 2 a.m. and you don't have to
• 44:32
  necessarily worry about getting murdered or shot something like
• 44:35
  that. Right?
• 44:37
  Whereas in America I mean Broad daylight, you could just need a
• 44:43
  good happen. So yeah.
• 44:43
  Just you know, to me like you're always at risk and I think
• 44:46
  that's the kind of scary thing about it.
• 44:48
  And don't get me wrong, there's a lot of people living in the US
• 44:52
  who, you know, are free from danger and and probably live
• 44:56
  very safe lives. But like I think like if you're
• 44:58
  in any of those major cities, there's always going to be a bit
• 45:01
  of a risk. Yeah.
• 45:03
  And like more. So in in the larger populated
• 45:05
  areas like New York City and maybe Atlanta places like that.
• 45:11
  But yeah that's that's a very solid point, you know, on the
• 45:14
  gun issue. But I guess when I asked a
• 45:17
  question, I was wondering more, you know, as far as culture is
• 45:20
  concerned because I think that's like that's the thing like that
• 45:23
  point. There's a lot of, there's a lot
• 45:24
  of things said about Canadians being like really nice which I
• 45:28
  can concur every Canadian. I've ever met sweethearts.
• 45:32
  I don't know what it for the most part I think.
• 45:33
  Yeah, most of us are nice. I mean, I'm not going to say
• 45:36
  that. All of us are nice.
• 45:37
  You can have like like the really like bitchy Canadian.
• 45:40
  assholes out that point like excuse my language but like you
• 45:43
  can like Have people are just rude as all hell, right.
• 45:50
  And that's, that's normal. I could find them anywhere but
• 45:52
  from also, most of us are, like, really nice.
• 45:54
  I'll say that much. Because I can be like, going on
• 45:56
  a bus on the SDM, which is our like bus system.
• 46:00
  Like I'll like, I'll be on my way down like school.
• 46:03
  It's like, then I remember I do this almost every morning.
• 46:06
  The just be multiple people waiting at a bus stop and like,
• 46:09
  okay, it's like do you go on you go on.
• 46:11
  You want. I can be there for, like, five
• 46:12
  minutes. I thinking I'm Peter, once I
• 46:14
  have just like, go no-go on, don't going on.
• 46:17
  And it's like a Canadian standoff at that point.
• 46:19
  Just like no you do it. No.
• 46:20
  Don't you do it? I was like, okay, no you go on
• 46:24
  like I'll pay this time, I'll fix them but most of them we can
• 46:27
  like go into an argument about being nice.
• 46:28
  I've apologized for apologizing but I'm sorry I'm saying sorry
• 46:33
  so much like I'm sorry. So the rumors are true.
• 46:38
  Then again for like the more like the Prairies as we call
• 46:41
  them in person at etobi Alberta and Saskatchewan, right?
• 46:45
  Like those are those are called the Prairies and you'll hear A
• 46:47
  lot more slang, a lot more Canadians.
• 46:51
  Flying and you look more like sorry at that point.
• 46:55
  Yeah, I think also like, no vote.
• 46:57
  You're like a horse as well as like, people say, it's if you
• 47:05
  Doing that and going like the Prairies, it's like more about
• 47:08
  about what you think about but like about me.
• 47:11
  Yeah. I just help out because that's
• 47:13
  how I've always said, say it, but your like, it's also weird
• 47:16
  like this, this flying terms of use because like most places
• 47:19
  have Their own specific symptoms that they use.
• 47:24
  And they understand Canadian slang terms for most for,
• 47:27
  doesn't make any sense. I'll be honest, some are weird
• 47:31
  and I don't use all them. I used some because I'm in
• 47:34
  Quebec and some are in French, but for the most part cutting
• 47:39
  slang terms, don't make sense. Sometimes I think also like,
• 47:44
  most places, like terms and hearing for the first time
• 47:46
  you're not going to start with a are, right?
• 47:48
  Like, I could probably give you some Canadian slang terms right
• 47:50
  now. You would have no idea.
• 47:52
  Talks about probably no, no, because there's always like area
• 47:56
  specific, cultures specific. So many other things you have to
• 47:59
  take into account. Its finally, I just find it
• 48:03
  interesting because obviously, in the United Kingdom were also
• 48:08
  quite well known for our manners.
• 48:10
  But, you know, we're also known for being kind of cold and You
• 48:17
  know, just difficult sometimes but I think with with Canadians
• 48:22
  internationally speaking, a lot of people hear about how nice
• 48:25
  you guys are, how I manage you are.
• 48:26
  Like as far as like negativity is concerned.
• 48:29
  The only thing I've ever heard about and I said this briefly
• 48:31
  when I appeared on your upcoming podcast episode The, you know,
• 48:36
  the whole thing about french-speaking areas, like you
• 48:39
  said you're from Quebec, which I know I think is Montreal Quebec,
• 48:44
  right? And my dad.
• 48:45
  Yeah, yes, you say again. Maria.
• 48:49
  That's like French. I mean if you want a an English,
• 48:52
  how we would say it, we would not see Montreal, but, you know,
• 48:56
  it's a Moines and you say, Montreal, I will cringe if
• 48:59
  anybody's have Montreal, that's not how we say.
• 49:02
  We say Montreal. Like, if there was a you
• 49:04
  instead, Montreal Montreal Henry, say, get back because the
• 49:10
  queue you song. We don't think quoi, I can't
• 49:13
  even like said because Quebec doesn't even talk about to us.
• 49:16
  So you just Kevin back, get back.
• 49:18
  Like this is also Accents in these words and okay so for the
• 49:22
  Folly accent but that's something I've heard is like
• 49:25
  certain areas in Canada where there's a big French population
• 49:30
  or french-speaking population and sometimes you get these
• 49:33
  issues of, you know, people maybe you know, speaking French
• 49:38
  or not speaking French. And then there's that issue of
• 49:41
  like or why don't you speak French or the reverse, why don't
• 49:44
  you speak English or whatever the case may be.
• 49:46
  But That's literally all I've heard as far as bad is concerned
• 49:50
  about I mean, yeah, because like the most you can like running
• 49:53
  into is somebody who's spoken French.
• 49:56
  All I think I BEC because when you're like a grocery store in
• 49:59
  Quebec and the cashiers, then I have to do this because I'm a
• 50:02
  cashier. So we have to say bonjour.
• 50:06
  Hi like any, like, even though restaurants you have to start
• 50:08
  with French and then English like, on menus in something
• 50:12
  around, cause you have like the French words would be bigger
• 50:15
  than English words. Looks like I've got new friends,
• 50:19
  first, and English. It doesn't matter if they speak
• 50:21
  English French. We have to say bonjour.
• 50:22
  Hi, that's all we go. And I speak French like 90% of
• 50:26
  the time. Yeah, I remember you saying
• 50:28
  this? Yeah, when we did, when we did
• 50:30
  that episode but the one thing we didn't press on, so I knew we
• 50:34
  were pressed on time and yeah, podcast.
• 50:37
  But I wanted to ask about some of your experiences as a kiss
• 50:41
  year because anyone I meet who's worked in customer service, has
• 50:45
  always has some good stories. I do have some interesting
• 50:48
  stories and like, what are your some of your horror stories, or
• 50:51
  stories or crazy crazy times. I mean, let's go.
• 50:55
  I've only been working there for like just over a month.
• 50:57
  Oh well I do have some stories so because my French isn't the
• 51:01
  greatest, I go always spoken in French as a subject but I am
• 51:05
  slowly trying to get better because like hot see like at the
• 51:09
  point they are the points card and whatever because I've asked
• 51:11
  and whatever and numbers are also kind of confusing at the
• 51:15
  same time but as a cashier Or I've seen people just freak out
• 51:19
  because like, it's, like, not the big ones like that, like the
• 51:22
  small small ones like, okay, tell me how much this is like,
• 51:25
  and we just verified a price for them.
• 51:27
  It's like, oh, this is like 564, for example, like, but it over
• 51:31
  there, it said something else and like, I'm sorry, I scan it
• 51:33
  at this price and tell me what it is.
• 51:35
  I'm not wrong. Then it probably just put in the
• 51:37
  phone because I'm not sleeping on the side, whatever.
• 51:40
  And so we have like areas below us like near-earth, like feet
• 51:43
  that we can put stuff in our Overstock and then we have no
• 51:46
  customers. We go on the back and put them
• 51:48
  in like specific cards. Don't go in the fridge.
• 51:50
  Go in the fridge. Freezer freezer And I've gone to
• 51:54
  the point that I had like two days ago.
• 51:57
  I got this Spanish woman as a customer but just like older
• 52:01
  lady, he spoke Spanish. He didn't know much French
• 52:06
  didn't know much English, and I don't know much Spanish.
• 52:10
  So I spent five minutes trying to tell her how to pay with a
• 52:16
  credit card. And holy crap I almost punched
• 52:22
  my cat. Like I almost punched it because
• 52:27
  and our bill and upcoming like double the size at, it should
• 52:30
  be. This is just mostly just like
• 52:32
  error error error. He's like not being processing
• 52:36
  and so much that I even asked the cashier in front of me.
• 52:39
  It's like, do you speak any Spanish?
• 52:40
  No, I speak Italian, help me anyway, because if you can't get
• 52:45
  a Spanish person to help you translate get an Italian because
• 52:48
  it's not the same. But you have some words that are
• 52:50
  very similar but like if I'm talking about more, Horror
• 52:54
  Story. I don't know.
• 52:56
  I mean, I saw, someone tried to steal something one time.
• 53:00
  Like that's not really many horror stories.
• 53:02
  We don't get like, I know, like if in America you got like,
• 53:06
  like, like these sickening start being robbed at gunpoint.
• 53:09
  Never happy. Yeah, that's extreme.
• 53:11
  I mean, it could happen here not saying it won't eat possibility.
• 53:17
  And so is my mind, like, am I going to be robbed today?
• 53:20
  But Mi Martin Mi customer service experience is always,
• 53:23
  you know, to do with rudeness people, be a customer, just kind
• 53:27
  of going crazy, especially at times, like Christmas, You think
• 53:31
  people would like Christmastime? That's going to be such a busy
• 53:34
  day, busy like area. There's also it's weird
• 53:37
  Thanksgiving is where because we have our Thanksgiving October,
• 53:40
  right? Yeah, often November Americans
• 53:43
  like having in November like, why is what we know?
• 53:47
  It's the like I did the first Monday, I think of October 1st
• 53:51
  and I worked that day. I work talking night.
• 53:54
  That is so I worked from like, I think what?
• 53:57
  232 9:00. Hmm.
• 54:00
  That that, that day and like is it is that 2:30 in the afternoon
• 54:03
  till 9:00 to 9:30? And I like 9:00 at night, all
• 54:06
  those are the worst shifts to do.
• 54:09
  That's like my weekends because like I have like today and
• 54:12
  Sunday off. I'm happy and I work for the
• 54:15
  week, but like when it comes like weekends, I will let me
• 54:18
  put, like, late look like afternoon.
• 54:21
  Like chips doctor, it's just boring.
• 54:23
  I remember Summers and just like, yeah, I can clean my cash
• 54:27
  like three times and no customer will show up.
• 54:30
  Those to me are the worst shifts because you just you lose
• 54:33
  everything. Like I remember when I worked in
• 54:36
  a supermarket, when I was much younger, I was like, I was 18 at
• 54:39
  the time. It's like my first proper job
• 54:42
  and I remember, it was shift work, so, obviously the morning
• 54:45
  shifts are bear. Like, if you do seventh or 463
• 54:48
  or something, great, right? You can get how you can still
• 54:51
  have some evening at least. But when you do these shifts
• 54:55
  like 6:49 or 9:48 was the worst one for, Me because I have to
• 55:01
  commute to this store anyway. So I have to wake up at say,
• 55:06
  9:30 in the morning and, you know, basically get my breakfast
• 55:11
  start traveling to this place arrived there around, let's say,
• 55:16
  11:20 kill some time. Maybe I have some lunch and then
• 55:21
  work the whole fucking day and leave when its pitch black.
• 55:26
  And then yeah I would always be late coming home.
• 55:29
  So I'd probably Get home about 12 p.m. or something.
• 55:33
  And I thinking back I'm just so grateful that I didn't have to
• 55:35
  do that anymore. But like I could always
• 55:37
  sympathize with people that do these sorts of shifts because
• 55:40
  you just lose it. You there's nothing you can do.
• 55:42
  Yeah. You've lost the money.
• 55:43
  I mean, you could, you have, like some time during like the
• 55:45
  day. And so, it's like, if you get up
• 55:46
  early enough but you can like still be productive during the
• 55:49
  day before you leave for your shift.
• 55:51
  Yeah. But like, that's mental.
• 55:53
  I hate people that do like like Jim before, massive shift and
• 55:57
  it's like, come on, man. You're just going to be
• 55:58
  knackered. I mean, like, you know, first
• 56:01
  off, working out your body and then you go into Artful, click
• 56:04
  Works to earn money and then they get wake up, they can be
• 56:07
  like sore, but then he like, some people like, done this
• 56:09
  like, like bodybuilders, whatever, they've gotten like,
• 56:12
  use like, working out whatever and bouncing up with their job.
• 56:15
  I'm pretty sure they've got that under control, but if I were to
• 56:19
  have an afternoon night shift and in the morning, I wake up
• 56:23
  early enough. Well.
• 56:24
  So like let's say, for example, 6:00 I don't wake up that early
• 56:27
  usually for like an afternoon shift.
• 56:29
  I wake up like Because I like sleeping in, but if I were to
• 56:33
  wake up early enough to like, like, okay, go on a walk, all
• 56:37
  like to exercise, whatever, I will be tired before I even
• 56:40
  start work. Yeah.
• 56:42
  And I get to work, I'm just like Yeah, I don't want to be here.
• 56:49
  It's just like, okay, let's just get this over and done with.
• 56:51
  That's the many a times where I will leave like 15 minutes
• 56:56
  before my shift starts because I walk to work, I can walk to work
• 57:01
  where I work. Well, that's good.
• 57:02
  At least you're nearby. Yeah, but like takes me 10
• 57:05
  minutes to walk at most because I walk fast for the person.
• 57:09
  I'm for a person I walk fast not make sense, but I will be I've
• 57:16
  bought walk. Yeah.
• 57:19
  It's like because I'll leave like 15 minutes.
• 57:22
  Like, I remember once I left 10 minutes before my shift and I
• 57:25
  will walk fast enough that my, the legs of my bones, I felt
• 57:28
  them hurting, they felt the bones of my legs hurting and I
• 57:32
  got to work. I've never been late yet,
• 57:35
  somehow, I always get there for like a few minutes before my
• 57:38
  shift starts. I could go upstairs, put myself
• 57:40
  in my locker, put my gloves on and and my mask whatever fire
• 57:44
  would have that one and go to my supervisor.
• 57:46
  Stomach, what cash am I at today?
• 57:48
  And I'd be like, sweating IV panting just like I walk here.
• 57:51
  It's like, it's like the first few feel like out like me first,
• 57:57
  our, I'm still trying to recover from like walking and stuff.
• 58:01
  Nothing was like, Norman that man.
• 58:03
  I've always had the mentality of, like, I need to arrive early
• 58:06
  just so I can kind of sit. Yeah, I have a coffee, relax and
• 58:11
  mentally prepare myself for the shit.
• 58:13
  I'm gonna have to go through for the next, however, Many hours.
• 58:17
  I kind of mind just turning up and then having to hold out
• 58:21
  until first break or something like no screw that.
• 58:25
  I mean, but Easter I was like the brakes like having breaks.
• 58:30
  It depends on how long you work. Yeah.
• 58:33
  For us like if I would work like anywhere from a five to five and
• 58:37
  half hour shift, I would get one break.
• 58:39
  Six and a half hours to breaks. Hmm, 727 a half hours which I've
• 58:43
  always worked before. Hell kind of career X naught for
• 58:47
  three and I have only once worked a four hour shift.
• 58:51
  I'm questioning. Why did you give me four hours?
• 58:54
  That's because I don't have to give you a break.
• 58:56
  Why? I've wet those shifts as well.
• 58:58
  I remember very brief and no I got one break that day.
• 59:01
  I've always very brief will still get great this company.
• 59:04
  It was like a clothing company, some American company, but we
• 59:08
  have them in the UK. And they would always make a
• 59:11
  point of giving you those four hour shifts or something like
• 59:14
  that. Because no, I think actually,
• 59:17
  they even gave you four hour, shifts, or like, free our
• 59:20
  45-minute ones because then they didn't have to give you a break
• 59:23
  as like, you plants as well, because then they will put you
• 59:26
  to work at the busiest time. Like, okay.
• 59:29
  You're said from like and you know, what times like the
• 59:31
  busiest, yes. Like dreams like specific days.
• 59:34
  This is like not always busy around the same time every day
• 59:37
  was first, like, Saturday morning, Mornings are usually
• 59:40
  packed. Mmm.
• 59:42
  Because like weekend people are off at like, or like how free
• 59:44
  time to do their shopping. But then like, okay, you're
• 59:48
  going to be put from this time to this time only for like four
• 59:51
  hours. It's like the busiest kid and
• 59:54
  you'd like never get any time but somehow I always manage to
• 59:56
  get a break. Aw, I just get somebody talking
• 59:59
  we can go on break now. It's like thank God.
• 1:00:01
  Hmm. And just in the few minutes of
• 1:00:03
  just relaxing in the right place of the right?
• 1:00:05
  Yeah, I always kind of took issue with that, like 15 minute
• 1:00:08
  break, I don't think that's enough.
• 1:00:09
  Time to Janome. Like it takes time to get there.
• 1:00:13
  And like, if you've got a decade manager, they'll probably be
• 1:00:16
  like, cool, you know? You, you only have like, ten
• 1:00:18
  minutes left in your brakes like motherfucker.
• 1:00:20
  I just, literally, just sat down, like, that sounds like my
• 1:00:24
  back for, like, five seconds. Look at your phone for like one
• 1:00:27
  minute, five minutes. I've and says, but I'm thankful
• 1:00:31
  that my supervisors or nice? Yeah, I'm happy.
• 1:00:35
  But they also speak French. Most of the time I'm done.
• 1:00:37
  It's like that speak. And now holy crap.
• 1:00:40
  Most part I understand it. It's just what are they
• 1:00:43
  understand? What I'm saying is my I speak
• 1:00:47
  like like broken French, Haley people speaking broken English
• 1:00:51
  really get what they're saying, but it's not like grammatically
• 1:00:54
  correct, but people will understand what I'm saying.
• 1:00:57
  I just don't say correctly, that's fine.
• 1:01:00
  I mean, as long as you're on, as long as you understand it.
• 1:01:02
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:01:03
  That'd be fine. Let's switch up a little bit and
• 1:01:06
  bring it back to your studies, obviously you.
• 1:01:09
  Can you just finish high school? So we'll put you on a 17, 18,
• 1:01:14
  something like that and 1717, okay?
• 1:01:17
  So are you do you have plans for maybe a university or some some
• 1:01:22
  future education at this point? My wife's?
• 1:01:24
  What's the deal? What's on the cards?
• 1:01:27
  Okay, I mean, I was also like thinking about this like, during
• 1:01:31
  my last year of high school like when we were still in school,
• 1:01:34
  whether I was going to apply for college and like is it, right?
• 1:01:37
  Because I know some people just don't I would like take some
• 1:01:39
  Time off before doing it. But then it came to a point
• 1:01:42
  where I was too late to ask you apply for daytime school and my
• 1:01:46
  only option was to go to night school.
• 1:01:49
  So I'm in night school, currently.
• 1:01:51
  It's okay. I mean that's why I work
• 1:01:54
  mornings during the week and my like surprises.
• 1:01:57
  Notice that I work mornings during the week because I have
• 1:01:59
  night school, so they know they can't like put me late on
• 1:02:02
  Saturdays, they can put me late on weekends because I don't have
• 1:02:05
  school. But during the week I work like
• 1:02:08
  from like opening to like 2:30 on average.
• 1:02:12
  But my studies, I did apply for next semester.
• 1:02:17
  I'm just waiting to see if I got accepted because I haven't done
• 1:02:20
  that yet. From.
• 1:02:23
  I haven't decided on University. I think that's all.
• 1:02:25
  I I still need a thing about that.
• 1:02:27
  Okay, I did, I mean, I applied into like, Cinema and stuff like
• 1:02:31
  the media and Ambience wasn't my first choice as I really, like,
• 1:02:38
  want to go into languages and like, like, do a translator
• 1:02:42
  stuff because the college I'm not, they have a language
• 1:02:46
  course. Actually, one of my friends is
• 1:02:48
  in that course, was thinking okay, that's not that bad and I
• 1:02:51
  was actually really happy about it.
• 1:02:53
  And then I got my mark for French in term two failed.
• 1:02:57
  It's like no I'm not doing that because I'm gonna have to take a
• 1:03:00
  French course. I know that much and my friend
• 1:03:02
  she's absolutely garbage and then this is I got into like
• 1:03:08
  podcasting whatever and editing my stuff and found it.
• 1:03:13
  I kind of like it. I mean, it's simple what I do
• 1:03:16
  now but I feel like I can improve on it.
• 1:03:18
  Do it better and are you learn like how audio works and stuff
• 1:03:22
  like that and editing? And I'll keep producing.
• 1:03:26
  Like, I mean, it doesn't matter how the quality is not good
• 1:03:29
  quantity, doesn't matter, it's good quality of it.
• 1:03:31
  Even if like you start out with the most like a basic shit, like
• 1:03:36
  a laptop microphone and a laptop camera and microphone.
• 1:03:39
  Like if you start out with that you start out with that.
• 1:03:41
  If you're not going to go out like so young, when I started, I
• 1:03:45
  started with my laptop and my microphone from my earbuds
• 1:03:50
  that's always using. And then I ended up buying this
• 1:03:53
  I'm on it and it just looks adorable.
• 1:03:59
  So that's my first microphone. And now it's for well and
• 1:04:04
  hopefully if I do get accepted into that course, I can learn
• 1:04:10
  more stuff than I already know. I have a slight Advantage
• 1:04:13
  because I like edited videos before and like audio and stuff
• 1:04:17
  like that. So I have some knowledge but so
• 1:04:21
  okay, before we get into the podcasting Yes.
• 1:04:23
  So basically I guess what you're kind of saying is maybe you're
• 1:04:26
  getting into like audio production maybe that's kind of
• 1:04:31
  what you're looking at maybe as yeah.
• 1:04:32
  Yeah I mean at the same time you're always like still figure
• 1:04:35
  out what you want to do in life. Yeah there's lots of course ice
• 1:04:39
  cream called so and you like you can do like find the most like
• 1:04:44
  weird stuff that you might find. Like I never expected myself
• 1:04:47
  doing that. But you enjoy doing it
• 1:04:50
  basically. What we're saying is that your
• 1:04:53
  You're looking for as far as the education is concerned stuff
• 1:04:56
  that's going to help you with podcasting and video production
• 1:05:00
  editing that kind of stuff. So stuff that will kind of
• 1:05:03
  support that. Okay.
• 1:05:06
  Yeah, that makes sense. That's sensible, you more
• 1:05:08
  sensible than I was, at your age.
• 1:05:09
  So what? All right.
• 1:05:12
  I mean, I'm also like the youngest in my grade so, because
• 1:05:16
  that's really actually, I'm not the youngest, I'm the second
• 1:05:18
  youngest because they've somehow, one of my friends is
• 1:05:20
  somehow two days, younger younger than I am.
• 1:05:24
  And it's like, because I didn't even think there's anybody
• 1:05:26
  younger than I am because we're my birthday is just like the cut
• 1:05:30
  off limits. Because when we got a report
• 1:05:32
  cards, it was always say like a line 8 by September 30th and you
• 1:05:38
  have great. I am born on the 26th of 2003,
• 1:05:43
  which makes me. I should technically, I'm a year
• 1:05:45
  ahead of myself because I should technically speaking to you, in
• 1:05:48
  my last year of high school working up.
• 1:05:49
  But I'm in my first year of college, Okay, that explains a
• 1:05:54
  lot. Well done, you know, that's yeah
• 1:05:57
  treatment but yeah nice one. I mean I figure if anything you
• 1:06:01
  probably be Wow, after everything that happens, I
• 1:06:05
  guess. Yeah, it makes sense to study
• 1:06:07
  now and then maybe try and get that Gap here and get that
• 1:06:10
  travel year in and get those experiences in obviously given
• 1:06:15
  where everything that's happening.
• 1:06:16
  Now, probably makes more sense to study now and wait.
• 1:06:19
  Yeah. For everything not much else to
• 1:06:20
  do. You can like go I'll get
• 1:06:22
  groceries. Yeah, walk but not much.
• 1:06:28
  Alright let's let's talk about your podcast and now you've been
• 1:06:32
  Doing this for sure. How long you been doing this?
• 1:06:34
  Now, as of now, this would be what my third month doing it.
• 1:06:42
  Okay. Okay, I'm in my third month.
• 1:06:44
  Let's start in August. So nice one, nice one.
• 1:06:47
  And why did you decide to stop podcast?
• 1:06:49
  And what, what kind of LED you to sort of decide to do that?
• 1:06:54
  I mean, like a lot of things, there's like a bunch of things
• 1:06:56
  in my mind that like I should probably give us, give it a shot
• 1:06:59
  and see what happens. Podcast will be one of them like
• 1:07:01
  starting point Cast and like sure, let's try it out.
• 1:07:06
  If it works out, it works out if not, then I tried it, whatever.
• 1:07:11
  And then it's like, oh, I actually like it, like it's
• 1:07:15
  actually nice. But because why did before
• 1:07:17
  starting anything I researched a bunch?
• 1:07:21
  Like for like a week or two, I did research on like audio like
• 1:07:27
  recording stuff and like editing.
• 1:07:29
  So I came in with some knowledge.
• 1:07:32
  So it wasn't like this going in. Like I don't know what to do.
• 1:07:36
  I went in with some knowledge and It's just overall fun to do
• 1:07:41
  at same time because you can have a podcast about.
• 1:07:44
  I want to pretty much anything because you have sports podcast
• 1:07:46
  and like gaming podcast and music whatever.
• 1:07:49
  And then the type of podcast that I run is just whatever
• 1:07:55
  comes to mind. I just talked about hmm.
• 1:07:58
  I didn't like those podcasts in specific.
• 1:08:00
  Those are actually kind of fun because you have you can expect
• 1:08:03
  to pretty much anything at all points.
• 1:08:05
  I think it's better because I think that We've entered the
• 1:08:10
  game a time. When it's heavily oversaturated,
• 1:08:14
  everyone in their mums are fucking doing podcasts right now
• 1:08:17
  and that's the thing, like, that's fine.
• 1:08:20
  It's fine to have a lot of people doing doing podcasts, but
• 1:08:23
  as you said, you know, you know, there's so many different areas.
• 1:08:26
  Like, for instance, look at like professional wrestling.
• 1:08:30
  I'm a big fan of professional wrestling, right, but I've seen
• 1:08:32
  so many podcasts people setting up resting podcast and I might,
• 1:08:37
  I guess I'll put while I will what?
• 1:08:38
  The point like what do you offer?
• 1:08:40
  That's different because if it's just you sitting there talking
• 1:08:43
  about a particular topic that there's like a thousand other
• 1:08:48
  people doing the exact same thing.
• 1:08:51
  You can't differentiate yourself, you can't make it any
• 1:08:54
  way different. And like, I always think about
• 1:08:56
  that, like I always think about how can I make my podcast?
• 1:09:00
  Something that people want to come back and listen to like how
• 1:09:04
  can we get like stand out from like that crowded like
• 1:09:08
  everything. Common.
• 1:09:09
  Yeah, I want to make it unique in a way.
• 1:09:11
  Yeah. And that's the thing.
• 1:09:12
  Don't get me wrong, I don't look at my podcast and go oh, you
• 1:09:15
  know, it's revolutionary its groundbreaking, you know,
• 1:09:17
  obviously it's not but I do look at it like it is different like
• 1:09:21
  people when people come here you know they never know if they're
• 1:09:24
  going to get an interview or a topic only or a discussion one
• 1:09:29
  with a friend of mine or something.
• 1:09:30
  Like I try to always model it on what I do with my YouTube
• 1:09:34
  channel, you know, always kind of have a variety, but the
• 1:09:38
  bigger thing, Thing that I'm, I guess I'm building is my own
• 1:09:41
  brand. So it's like, when people come
• 1:09:44
  to it, they're like, they're coming to hear me talk about
• 1:09:48
  things and because they're interested in that and I know
• 1:09:51
  that sounds a bit egotistical. Believe me, I don't have an ego,
• 1:09:54
  but that's kind of my business kind of approach to it.
• 1:09:57
  Yeah, that's my logic with it, but when I look at a lot of
• 1:10:01
  podcasts and people promoting their brands for their podcast,
• 1:10:06
  there's nothing that entices me about You know, clicking on that
• 1:10:10
  because it's didn't let me it's not, you know, it's just someone
• 1:10:15
  kind of saying oh hey here's another podcast about talking
• 1:10:19
  about the news or talking about this thing and it's like okay
• 1:10:23
  great because if I want to like, listen to news, I'll listen to
• 1:10:27
  the news, right? I don't know.
• 1:10:29
  I just get like, there's nothing wrong with like that, I know.
• 1:10:32
  But like I'm pretty sure there is a podcast about new somewhere
• 1:10:35
  II. Don't really exist.
• 1:10:37
  Fuck the news and something about Out.
• 1:10:39
  Exactly like Whitey can sometimes movie reviews, and
• 1:10:42
  some shit. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with
• 1:10:45
  those podcasts. I mean, if they, like doing it,
• 1:10:46
  they like doing it. I know.
• 1:10:48
  It's like, people actually like it, but I know this, I don't
• 1:10:50
  have anything against them. It's just, you have opportunity
• 1:10:54
  to me. Something unique and stand out
• 1:10:59
  for people but I like you, I like a bunch of sports podcast
• 1:11:02
  and like there's only so much we can do.
• 1:11:05
  Like yes II didn't want to like a specific topic throughout my
• 1:11:08
  bad enough, this thing as well. You're never gonna get anywhere
• 1:11:12
  with those type of podcasts. I'm not trying to be pessimistic
• 1:11:16
  here because like I agree with you.
• 1:11:18
  I think, you know, if you like it if you love it, do it, fuck
• 1:11:21
  it, right? Don't don't worry about the
• 1:11:22
  critics. But the problem is, if you are
• 1:11:25
  doing something like Like sports or something, you're never going
• 1:11:29
  to really become big unless you want to three things happens,
• 1:11:33
  evil one, you're a noteworthy person, sorry to say, but that's
• 1:11:37
  how most people work. Like, for instance, I'm building
• 1:11:40
  my brand up now most times when I post a video or a podcast or
• 1:11:44
  something, people don't give a fuck.
• 1:11:45
  Because who the fuck up my? Who's this guy?
• 1:11:47
  I don't care. You know, and that's how people
• 1:11:50
  are with you until you become known.
• 1:11:52
  So that's a lot of the time when people are looking at podcast
• 1:11:55
  stuff to listen to who Is this guy?
• 1:11:57
  Why should I care about? Secondly, it's a thing of like
• 1:12:01
  if we're taking Sports as an example, is this person actually
• 1:12:05
  an athlete? Were they ever in athlete where
• 1:12:07
  they can accept successful athlete?
• 1:12:09
  Why should I listen to their views and opinions on this
• 1:12:12
  particular thing? Like what we, you know, what
• 1:12:14
  differentiates them from, you know, the several hundred other
• 1:12:18
  pundits out there and then thirdly, it can come down to,
• 1:12:23
  you know, the format of what they've got.
• 1:12:25
  You know, is it? One who's just talking about,
• 1:12:28
  what happened, which is fine. But, you know, I think a lot of
• 1:12:32
  the time especially if you're someone, okay, you don't fit in
• 1:12:35
  those first two categories, you're not an athlete and you're
• 1:12:37
  not someone noteworthy or whatever then you've got to look
• 1:12:40
  at okay, I've got a either be very controversial and say stuff
• 1:12:45
  that other people won't say or I've got a deliver, some sort of
• 1:12:50
  a format that hasn't been done for four or a unique take on
• 1:12:53
  something that has been And that I guess my point is, you're
• 1:12:58
  always trying to look for that niche in the market or
• 1:13:00
  something, you know, they mean, and I feel like a lot of those
• 1:13:03
  podcasts that are unlike art because, like you said, you you
• 1:13:07
  whenever you come up with an idea, that's what happens that
• 1:13:10
  for instance, you were doing a Halloween special free part of
• 1:13:14
  things you had different guests, talking about different things,
• 1:13:18
  Halloween sent centered, and that makes sense.
• 1:13:20
  It's like it's a trending thing, because Halloween happened at
• 1:13:23
  that time. So, it makes sense that About
• 1:13:25
  that. But the point is you're always
• 1:13:28
  doing something different and you're building up as you build
• 1:13:32
  up over time, people will become familiar with you and we'll look
• 1:13:36
  forward to that because it's like okay, different topics,
• 1:13:39
  different things. But it's under this brand but I
• 1:13:42
  just feel like that that same logic, doesn't really apply with
• 1:13:46
  those, you know, Sports ones or wrestling podcasts or movie
• 1:13:51
  review podcast, or whatever. The case may be, you have to
• 1:13:54
  kind of approach it differently, I Feel ya.
• 1:13:59
  I know there's like some podcasts that I've been a guest
• 1:14:02
  on and I've listened to it as like have different segments.
• 1:14:05
  Like something just like anything can happen at before
• 1:14:09
  you can just say things like a nice discussion type podcast,
• 1:14:11
  you can just have a discussion, it's fun.
• 1:14:13
  Like sometimes they have like games involved or is like
• 1:14:17
  segments and that's something I've tried to incorporate
• 1:14:19
  because my, my Halloween special part 1 of 2, I did Mad Libs for
• 1:14:26
  the first time on my podcast. And it worked out and didn't
• 1:14:31
  work out. Same time because I want to try
• 1:14:33
  to find Halloween stuff because it was I recorded them on
• 1:14:35
  Halloween. There wasn't many.
• 1:14:38
  So I'm like, let's just try to stay on the theme of it and then
• 1:14:42
  I recorded on this court for the first time and then couldn't
• 1:14:44
  share my screen. So a lot of the complications
• 1:14:47
  happened. So I know next time with one, do
• 1:14:49
  I madlib segment, I'm going to use zoom because at least I can
• 1:14:53
  share my screen and they can actually see it.
• 1:14:55
  Is that me taking pictures of it and sending it on the Discord
• 1:14:58
  Channel. And then I'll do a different
• 1:15:05
  topic. Almost every week.
• 1:15:06
  I've been really inconsistent lately that I need to like like
• 1:15:11
  record more episodes and I've been tried thinking, okay?
• 1:15:14
  Let me try to be in the mindset and pre-record so I have episode
• 1:15:18
  saved up so I don't have to worry about every week, visit
• 1:15:22
  every week. I record something like an
• 1:15:23
  episode of week and upload that same week and it's like, that's
• 1:15:27
  all I do. And It's just something I've
• 1:15:31
  even thought of changing hmm that when it comes to the end of
• 1:15:37
  my first season of doing like season thing, okay and then I'm
• 1:15:41
  going to say and I've even said this, I'm going to say in that
• 1:15:45
  episode when I recorded I cannot make any promises if it's going
• 1:15:50
  to stay the same because I can change on the I can basically
• 1:15:54
  even rewrite the top point and change them.
• 1:15:57
  I change it to something else. I can Designed logo.
• 1:15:59
  I can change out the format. I'd like different segments,
• 1:16:03
  whatever. So, I double and I cannot
• 1:16:05
  promise, anything will stay the same.
• 1:16:08
  As I've seen my intro before, my intro would consist of like an
• 1:16:11
  interesting fact about the topic, I'll be discussing.
• 1:16:16
  What is like what I try to do like be like, Oh, okay, that's
• 1:16:19
  kind of interesting because of educational and then kind of
• 1:16:23
  stopped. Because at that point, it's just
• 1:16:26
  I'm too much to like even In process.
• 1:16:29
  This is keep it simple. Keep it enjoyable.
• 1:16:32
  You don't do anything to Super complicated.
• 1:16:35
  I'll do anything super complicated?
• 1:16:36
  I talk. Yeah, either alone or with
• 1:16:39
  somebody about a topic that's it.
• 1:16:42
  But you can have the most bare, basic simple podcast and people
• 1:16:46
  will still enjoy it. I know exactly what you mean, I
• 1:16:50
  have the exact same mentality because I never explicit like I
• 1:16:55
  had a podcast before this with a couple of friends and we tried
• 1:16:58
  to do the whole every week thing and it was only once a week but
• 1:17:01
  it was really stressful for some reason.
• 1:17:03
  So I know exactly where you're coming from on that issue and I
• 1:17:06
  think with my podcast I do it the same way that you do.
• 1:17:09
  Like I when I have an idea I'll do it.
• 1:17:12
  If I have a guest and I'm always asking like hey who wants to
• 1:17:15
  appear on this, do you Have like ideas for topics.
• 1:17:19
  I'm always kind of putting stuff out there, but I kind of feel
• 1:17:22
  like if it happens, it happens, but if it doesn't, it's okay to
• 1:17:26
  take a bit of time and not. But there are is it that's much
• 1:17:29
  better than setting yourself like, okay, I have to release an
• 1:17:33
  episode every week and then it comes to the day and you're
• 1:17:36
  really anxious because you like, you got nothing, you know, I'm
• 1:17:39
  gonna do what I'm gonna do and then you just put any old shit
• 1:17:41
  out and it's like yeah that's that's that's me.
• 1:17:45
  And I hope you liked it like, when out work I'm thinking I
• 1:17:49
  need to record something when I get home, I need to do
• 1:17:50
  something. Yeah.
• 1:17:51
  And then, I just remember that if I was, let's say I put myself
• 1:17:56
  in the shoes of a content creator on YouTube with a
• 1:17:57
  YouTuber and like and some who like, like uploads consistently
• 1:18:02
  daily, it might have to take like a like a week off.
• 1:18:06
  I'll take a week off. Yes.
• 1:18:08
  And people will understand it. Like, you'll be was supportive.
• 1:18:10
  Like, okay. Take the time you need, it's
• 1:18:12
  okay. And that's why I try. do I
• 1:18:18
  remember I recording anything because then I feel like if I
• 1:18:21
  would go like three weeks or more then I feel like I lose
• 1:18:24
  focus and just And it all together.
• 1:18:29
  So at times I'll just go like a week or two without doing
• 1:18:33
  anything because no, I have stuff to balance, I'm kind of
• 1:18:36
  stressed about it and then their time set the damn video won't
• 1:18:41
  upload because it's just because sometimes it will take hours to
• 1:18:47
  upload our just got my contacts. That's, that's the software.
• 1:18:51
  She my friend. I like you should have that same
• 1:18:53
  software. Cute.
• 1:18:55
  No. But like, I used to have the
• 1:18:56
  Problem. The same problem I used to use
• 1:18:58
  Sony Vegas which is notoriously bad and takes many many hours.
• 1:19:03
  Then I got a tip-off from a friend to use videopad and I
• 1:19:08
  have to say, ever since I've been using that it takes, well,
• 1:19:13
  it's really short, I never have the issue of because I remember
• 1:19:17
  for a long time, when I was doing Sony Vegas, I'd have that
• 1:19:20
  issue of yeah, trying to upload to Youtube and it would take
• 1:19:22
  hours then it would just cancel or fail and I've never had that.
• 1:19:26
  Yeah. Videopad sorry I've never had
• 1:19:29
  that issue. It's always been seamless.
• 1:19:31
  Perfect. You know, even the larger one
• 1:19:33
  and you actually gave me the tip off of using it.
• 1:19:36
  So - yes because I want to spread the word like people make
• 1:19:39
  your life easier but it looks like man.
• 1:19:44
  My video just won't upload a system use this.
• 1:19:47
  I mean that's a that's a big point about about being a
• 1:19:50
  podcast or a content creator. General is it's a constant
• 1:19:54
  learning curve and you're constantly learning.
• 1:19:56
  Things constantly making mistakes, you know?
• 1:20:00
  Like I only really recently kind of figured out like, you know,
• 1:20:03
  okay I should use zoom for this, I should use this.
• 1:20:06
  I should use that and I'm still figuring it out, like, you know,
• 1:20:09
  we might be close to 40 episodes in, but it's still very much
• 1:20:14
  developing and becoming its own thing.
• 1:20:16
  And my Approach has always been to kind of just Embrace what
• 1:20:20
  happens and just, you know, be like, like, even this interview
• 1:20:24
  style. Yeah, I have It's always the
• 1:20:27
  same. I do my research on the person
• 1:20:29
  and I kind of ad-lib, a lot of stuff based on how the interview
• 1:20:33
  goes. And but the key thing, I'm
• 1:20:37
  obviously, always hoping for is a discussion will come about and
• 1:20:41
  it will be longer, but it's okay if it's shorter as well.
• 1:20:44
  I think you kind of got to like embrace it and work with the
• 1:20:48
  person that you're working with your let me like it's your show
• 1:20:51
  but it's and it's up to you to guide it and steer it, but it's
• 1:20:54
  also very important to listen. To your guests kind of tap into
• 1:20:58
  their Vibe and see like you know, okay they talk a lot
• 1:21:02
  great. I'm going to let them talk and
• 1:21:04
  I'm just going to guide it or if they don't talk a lot.
• 1:21:06
  Okay, I need to ask the right questions and I need to make
• 1:21:08
  them feel comfortable so that they're more willing to share
• 1:21:11
  information, you know. And, but like these things, I
• 1:21:16
  think it's just time and practice as an it, you know?
• 1:21:19
  When I first started doing Vlogs, it was the same thing.
• 1:21:22
  I was terrible at vlogging. Now, I just turn on the camera
• 1:21:26
  starts. Again it's done.
• 1:21:27
  Like I think it's just practice. I mean it goes for a lot of
• 1:21:31
  things in life that you want to like these side projects, he's
• 1:21:34
  like many products that you like it's my stuff I want to try to
• 1:21:37
  like do this in accomplish it. It's like you're always going to
• 1:21:41
  run into these problems. You always in a runt he's
• 1:21:43
  kerfuffles and just sometimes not going to upload right away.
• 1:21:47
  I'm gonna have to, like, do a late.
• 1:21:49
  It's all part of the process, isn't it?
• 1:21:50
  Entire learning process at this point and I got to go through
• 1:21:54
  this evening about life. Life is his entire life.
• 1:21:56
  Learning process with, you're going to run into like snags and
• 1:22:01
  it's like fail bunch of times. But you learn from those
• 1:22:03
  mistakes. Yeah.
• 1:22:04
  And you start like, okay, it's this mistake again.
• 1:22:08
  What should I do differently? So you end up learning a lot.
• 1:22:12
  From example, I've already learned a lot from editing and
• 1:22:16
  uploading fun. Doing this podcast, you learn a
• 1:22:22
  lot of same time because then I thought of maybe I should start
• 1:22:26
  at again. Like music and same time.
• 1:22:28
  So I started slowly adding music and then I didn't dislike little
• 1:22:32
  intro sequence. I do at the beginning of my
• 1:22:33
  podcast now with music behind it and slowly, but surely you're
• 1:22:37
  going to like grow into something that you're eventually
• 1:22:42
  going to be proud of. Yeah.
• 1:22:43
  But there's always going to be that I doubt in your mind
• 1:22:46
  thinking like should I even continue this?
• 1:22:49
  Like is it going to go? Well I is it going to be
• 1:22:52
  responded? Well through the I continue it
• 1:22:55
  so I just Scrap it and start over with something completely
• 1:22:59
  different and that's why though I know exactly how you feel.
• 1:23:02
  I always doubt everything I do but I think that you have to
• 1:23:06
  just look at like you and focus on how you feel.
• 1:23:12
  Like for instance I've had some hate comments here and there
• 1:23:16
  where people have been like, oh shut the fuck up and let your
• 1:23:18
  guests speak and I remember at first I was like, oh fuck you
• 1:23:21
  but then I kind of thought about it and I really went back to
• 1:23:24
  that particular episode and I To think like okay did maybe this
• 1:23:28
  is something I should keep in mind and but as far as like
• 1:23:31
  actually feedback is concerned like and where that relates to
• 1:23:36
  low if I continue doing something or not, you know, I
• 1:23:38
  mean for instance, I have stuff that I create that, you know,
• 1:23:42
  doesn't get as many views or much attention and its relative
• 1:23:45
  to my channel. Like I don't get a lot of use in
• 1:23:47
  general but in terms of my channel it's like you know
• 1:23:51
  certain things, get more certain things, get less.
• 1:23:52
  Yeah. And a lot of people base what
• 1:23:55
  they create on their View, You view account or what people are
• 1:23:58
  saying, but I think it's better to focus on what you enjoy
• 1:24:01
  doing. And if you are loving doing the
• 1:24:05
  podcast or creating a particular type of content, you're like,
• 1:24:08
  yeah, I'm going to keep doing this.
• 1:24:09
  I love this, then that's the main thing to sort of, keep in
• 1:24:13
  mind, I'm after a while, you are going to get feedback that is
• 1:24:15
  both good and bad, right? And you're going to learn from
• 1:24:18
  it all you just going to say like I'm still gonna do it, it's
• 1:24:22
  my stuff. You can't like, tell me what do
• 1:24:25
  ends and wait, they can't really.
• 1:24:26
  Late have control over what you do, so but it is good to like
• 1:24:30
  like, okay, take it in mind. As you said, like, I'm going to
• 1:24:33
  keep this in mind and try to work on it.
• 1:24:36
  Since you always try to like work on your flaws and
• 1:24:40
  absolutely. Absolutely.
• 1:24:41
  I do my, I think the the my episode like the most views I
• 1:24:44
  think it's like 40 views. I have on lifted, the most views
• 1:24:47
  are gone and episode. And this is when you have like
• 1:24:50
  these small podcast. You it's like yeah there's
• 1:24:53
  small. You like that's what every
• 1:24:55
  channel is. You start off.
• 1:24:56
  Off small producing like a bit of content every so often and
• 1:25:00
  then like yeah that's personally sometimes like oh this is
• 1:25:04
  actually pretty cool. Okay.
• 1:25:05
  I'm going to share it and like tell people about and then it
• 1:25:08
  grows into something big. And that's what if let's say you
• 1:25:12
  have this small podcast, it just turns into something huge.
• 1:25:15
  Yeah. And if I if that ever happens to
• 1:25:17
  me, I'm going to be in the mindset like holy crap.
• 1:25:21
  What? My good because you have your
• 1:25:24
  fan base is people who Appreciate what you do and
• 1:25:28
  understand if you need to take some time off and understand if
• 1:25:30
  you're having trouble with this. So, and they are going to
• 1:25:35
  understand changes in like, not uploading for like a week or two
• 1:25:38
  at a time or late uploads. So at the same time, you're
• 1:25:43
  trying to have this fan base with the slow group that of
• 1:25:47
  people that understand and respect you and like wanting to
• 1:25:51
  like, okay continue what you're doing.
• 1:25:53
  Like, if you need to change something, change something we
• 1:25:55
  won't mind like You'll still listening.
• 1:25:57
  I have I know I have one consistent listener.
• 1:26:00
  Ashley, I have to consistent listeners that I know of well
• 1:26:03
  well well done, I mean I'm pretty sure.
• 1:26:05
  I'll walk you out. I know people listen to it.
• 1:26:07
  I just don't know who listens to it.
• 1:26:08
  Yeah, I know my mom listens to every episode and she likes
• 1:26:11
  every episode on Facebook. So thank you.
• 1:26:14
  That's the same issue. I have like I have reg a regular
• 1:26:18
  viewership but I don't know exactly who does.
• 1:26:21
  I have I have sent out like, for instance, one thing I've stopped
• 1:26:24
  doing because it never gets The interaction is, I ask people
• 1:26:28
  like hey who's watching or who like this latest episode or what
• 1:26:32
  would you like to see? And no one answers but I think
• 1:26:35
  one time I did send out a thing and I got a couple of responses
• 1:26:39
  from my immediate Network. So I learn a little bit about
• 1:26:42
  who watches it, but as you said it's difficult to know in the
• 1:26:45
  early stages and you know, even as I say, like 40 episodes into
• 1:26:50
  a pod Carl close to 40 episodes in, I'm still figuring out my
• 1:26:54
  audience and yeah, like And as you say, like, every episode can
• 1:26:59
  can do different numbers. Like I'm still kind of looking
• 1:27:02
  at some of the podcasts and some of the clips I've done and I'm
• 1:27:06
  wondering like well what do people actually want to see more
• 1:27:08
  of like what what should I be replicating?
• 1:27:10
  What should I be focusing on? I don't know.
• 1:27:13
  Yeah, I mean all I can really kind of look at is the fact the
• 1:27:19
  fact that, you know, when I have certain guests on it gets more
• 1:27:22
  views because they've got a bigger foot follow following So,
• 1:27:26
  I guess that's something. But as far as like topics are
• 1:27:29
  concerned, it doesn't it, you know, a lot of times when you're
• 1:27:34
  looking at the analytics, that's the main thing that helps you
• 1:27:37
  understand what's being more responded to and what isn't, and
• 1:27:43
  I've Got Friends. That always tell me like, you
• 1:27:45
  got a focus on comments and stuff, but that's the thing.
• 1:27:47
  Those comments aren't there or else?
• 1:27:50
  I would, let's get, I get occasional comments here and
• 1:27:52
  there once in a blue moon, but a lot of the time, there's no
• 1:27:54
  comments. So there's nothing to kind of
• 1:27:56
  look at At and say, okay, a lot of things on my episodes on when
• 1:27:59
  I bought them to YouTube because I post YouTube, Facebook
• 1:28:01
  Spotify. And again like I said before,
• 1:28:04
  I'm not going to promise that they're going to still remain on
• 1:28:07
  those three platforms for the David, just limit myself to one
• 1:28:10
  platform because I didn't, I don't like waste like a quarter
• 1:28:13
  of my day, trying to upload one episode to this all these
• 1:28:17
  problems. I need to step it up and then
• 1:28:19
  recommendation for you then. You want to get a platform
• 1:28:24
  distributor? I use anchor, and that has
• 1:28:28
  enabled me to go on eight different platforms.
• 1:28:30
  And I felt like the more, you know, I just might just use
• 1:28:38
  anchor. That's it.
• 1:28:41
  Yeah, exactly. But it's the point that I don't
• 1:28:44
  know. Like, there's no comments.
• 1:28:46
  There's like, barely any like, slimy.
• 1:28:48
  I'll get like one occasionally on my YouTube videos.
• 1:28:50
  I get like, one like you. My Facebook on Facebook, because
• 1:28:53
  my mom and thank God. He supports me that it's like,
• 1:28:58
  oh my gosh, so does great today. Thank you.
• 1:29:00
  That's it. It's like all if you'd like to
• 1:29:02
  get and that's you remembered. I have three consistent viewers
• 1:29:06
  listeners, that I know of ones. My mom and then two of them are
• 1:29:09
  friends. One of the co-worker mine, he
• 1:29:11
  works at the same place, not a cashier bull.
• 1:29:13
  He still works in the same place until Miller I'm passing by to
• 1:29:17
  go to his Department's. Like I listen to rap songs while
• 1:29:20
  you study. Like, thank you like But that's
• 1:29:23
  cool. And I'm thinking, like, I have a
• 1:29:24
  friend, actually, charged charged Jacko.
• 1:29:27
  I've done a lot of collabs with and I did my previous podcast
• 1:29:32
  with actually as well. And he told me recently, or he
• 1:29:36
  told me before that, he would listen to my Vlogs and use them
• 1:29:40
  as like a mini podcast thing to listen to while he worked.
• 1:29:44
  But then, he told me started listening to the podcast, and I
• 1:29:46
  was like, really taken back by that, because he's a friend.
• 1:29:48
  And I was like, oh wow. Okay, honey.
• 1:29:50
  When you get like the first Time like sometimes like I listen to
• 1:29:53
  yourself I really like it's like, it's like the first time
• 1:29:56
  good feedback and I've had like the worst experience would like
• 1:29:59
  good feedback because it was like late at night.
• 1:30:02
  I don't remember how many episodes I had a time like, very
• 1:30:05
  few done. I get a text on my phone from a
• 1:30:09
  number. I don't know.
• 1:30:10
  I don't say that just a number. It's just all I really like your
• 1:30:15
  podcast. Like feel like and they said my
• 1:30:17
  name. So deoxy knew me.
• 1:30:18
  Like, I cursed, I really like your podcast.
• 1:30:20
  Like, I really like what you do, your voice helps me, sleep at
• 1:30:23
  night. This was from the kind of words
• 1:30:25
  like this either. I have a pretty common Voice or
• 1:30:30
  my voice is extremely boring. That puts people to sleep.
• 1:30:33
  No, I'm sure anywhere, but the compliment that's like Yeah,
• 1:30:38
  let's like that. A seems like, okay, thank you
• 1:30:41
  for the feedback. I appreciate, I don't get a lot
• 1:30:42
  of it. Who are you?
• 1:30:44
  It's like, I'm not saying that to.
• 1:30:46
  So then the following day I posted on my Snapchat, okay, to
• 1:30:50
  anybody who has my number, who did you give it out to one of my
• 1:30:53
  friends? He said and she was like a
• 1:30:55
  sister to me, he's like my fourth sister.
• 1:30:58
  So, because I've create them and she's like, my fourth one and he
• 1:31:01
  said, oh, I gave it to this person who did out the other
• 1:31:03
  person's like, okay. Let me ask that person, but give
• 1:31:07
  Me her number same numbers. It's like, oh my gosh, she has
• 1:31:12
  me on Snapchat this person, she has stopped at but it still
• 1:31:16
  asked for my number to text me about it and then proceeded not
• 1:31:20
  to tell me who she was. And by that point I just blocked
• 1:31:24
  the number because this is going to get anywhere.
• 1:31:26
  I'm just going to block it. His I did like he or she was
• 1:31:30
  telling me like, oh, it's her like by that point, if he would
• 1:31:33
  have said her name's like, okay, I would understand it.
• 1:31:37
  But then when it's like refused to tell me who you are, but at
• 1:31:39
  least I know you and you're like, how did he get my number?
• 1:31:42
  I have my connections like that doesn't make it any better.
• 1:31:48
  But still when you got like the first sense of feedback and just
• 1:31:52
  it makes you feel good. I know somebody's at least
• 1:31:55
  listening to it and somebody likes it because then again I
• 1:32:00
  don't know how like how I got 40 views on one episode.
• 1:32:03
  Like what? 40 people are.
• 1:32:07
  So I know of a few just what but still you never know who's
• 1:32:12
  watching or listening. Okay, moving it Forward.
• 1:32:16
  What are your main goals for? Podcast will all the main things
• 1:32:19
  you want to achieve with this, okay?
• 1:32:22
  Mingles my podcast, get it to a point where I I'm happy about
• 1:32:27
  it. Like, obviously I'm happy about.
• 1:32:29
  I'm proud of it. It's just that.
• 1:32:32
  There's a lot of things I could change and a lot of things, I
• 1:32:34
  could develop one. So work on those things, and
• 1:32:37
  then probably switch it up and they had in some segments and
• 1:32:42
  change how I do things like, how change the format of it and get
• 1:32:47
  it to a point. Where I don't stress myself
• 1:32:49
  over. It ended kind of balance it with
• 1:32:51
  work and school and like relaxing and then all I have to
• 1:32:55
  do is after this so I want to get to a point where I'm like
• 1:33:00
  not super stressing over it that I'm up at night worrying.
• 1:33:03
  Feel like I'm not uploading, I haven't recorded anything.
• 1:33:06
  I'm timing thing. I don't want to get to that
• 1:33:08
  point. I want to also like start
• 1:33:10
  pre-recording episodes, so I have episodes like saved up so I
• 1:33:13
  don't have to worry about every week I get to schedule them to
• 1:33:15
  upload. When like weekly bi-weekly.
• 1:33:19
  I am thought about like my schedule.
• 1:33:22
  I said, okay, 9:00 a.m. every Wednesday.
• 1:33:27
  Everyone's day and I was like, At first, I'm like, okay I can
• 1:33:30
  do this. Because at the time when I
• 1:33:31
  started this, I was unemployed, I didn't have a job.
• 1:33:34
  I was in high school so I had time to focus on it and then
• 1:33:38
  when I got a job in, didn't got more school work and then a
• 1:33:41
  whole bunch of shit. I'm thinking should I just do
• 1:33:45
  this every two weeks? Yeah, because there's no problem
• 1:33:48
  with that at all. It's just less frequent, I
• 1:33:51
  understand. But yeah, like that's like one
• 1:33:55
  of my main goals just too. Get it to a point where I'm not
• 1:33:59
  sick stressing over. It's for days on end and I'm not
• 1:34:02
  like pulling my hair out with yeah, because I can't even pull
• 1:34:06
  my hair out to any more just and that you want to pull my hair
• 1:34:12
  out to just happens. Well, what would you say?
• 1:34:16
  Have been the biggest challenges for creating your podcast so
• 1:34:20
  far. We're creating it our biggest
• 1:34:24
  hug because when I did the first episode, I have to record so
• 1:34:29
  low, I'd say and that was my third episode because I had
• 1:34:33
  guests get scheduled. I was told one scheduled with an
• 1:34:36
  interesting topic and like okay, that sounded really well and I
• 1:34:40
  felt like she was going to ask more questions than I was good.
• 1:34:42
  He seemed to know more about it than I did and I do try to do
• 1:34:45
  Research. And when it came to that
• 1:34:48
  episode, I'm waiting for a sec. Okay.
• 1:34:50
  What are you available to record?
• 1:34:51
  Because I went out earlier that day.
• 1:34:53
  Yeah, it's like okay, it's like I text when I go back like okay.
• 1:34:57
  Are you ready to record now? Because I was ready to go and
• 1:35:00
  check. Aw shit that's day, hold on.
• 1:35:02
  And he never takes me back never like and I'm like seeing Donald
• 1:35:07
  stuff like a few hours later. This is like, so I said, fuck
• 1:35:10
  it, I'm doing it solo, and then I spent a good for you.
• 1:35:15
  Minutes trying to say, how am I gonna do this?
• 1:35:18
  What am I going to do? Solo?
• 1:35:20
  Hmm. Okay, the point where I just end
• 1:35:22
  up talking for about four minutes and that was the entire
• 1:35:25
  episode, but the point that I was stressed, I didn't know what
• 1:35:29
  to do and then I think from that point it got me used to like
• 1:35:32
  talking in like so long episodes.
• 1:35:34
  When I do it, I don't, I haven't done one in a while.
• 1:35:39
  I'd say, I think my tenth episode was the last time I did
• 1:35:42
  a solo episode. It was like, yeah, yeah.
• 1:35:45
  Have a good topic about it. I can talk just by myself in
• 1:35:48
  entertain myself sounds wrong when I say entertain myself but
• 1:35:53
  you know you know I know what you mean.
• 1:35:55
  Yeah this is one of the reasons I do it as well because I think
• 1:35:58
  originally I had this thought in my mind okay this is just going
• 1:36:01
  to be an interview podcast and then I kind of realized like how
• 1:36:06
  difficult it is to continuously find new guests or even repeat
• 1:36:11
  guests and that puts pressure on you.
• 1:36:13
  And if you want to keep your Podcast going.
• 1:36:16
  You know, you can't always rely on other people.
• 1:36:19
  So what then? You have to rely on yourself and
• 1:36:21
  coming up with stuff, and that's exactly why I do solo podcast as
• 1:36:25
  well. It's not just for the variety
• 1:36:28
  .90. I mentioned earlier, it's
• 1:36:29
  predominantly because of this very issue, you know?
• 1:36:32
  Yeah. And yeah, I've had the same
• 1:36:34
  thing. I've had, you know, guests lined
• 1:36:36
  up and it fell through, for whatever reason, you know,
• 1:36:39
  because the problem is, you know, you have your own schedule
• 1:36:42
  and you're relying on people kind of Matching it to your
• 1:36:46
  schedule and you know, things change, things happen, I'd say
• 1:36:50
  for the, I'd say 90% of the time for me.
• 1:36:52
  I've been able to reschedule with people and but there have
• 1:36:56
  been times when it's fallen through and you just never hear
• 1:36:59
  anything back and you're like, yeah.
• 1:37:00
  And then my thing is that I don't chase people, you know,
• 1:37:04
  like I say, hey, would you like this?
• 1:37:06
  If they agree to it, I set the time make it happen, but if
• 1:37:10
  they're kind of like, you know, dearly and dallying and not
• 1:37:12
  really doing anything. And I'm, you know, like Like,
• 1:37:15
  I've had times when I've, you know, had the podcast ready, I'm
• 1:37:18
  ready and waiting and then they just never show up and I'm like,
• 1:37:22
  okay? And then they never get back to
• 1:37:24
  me with regards to that. And I'm like, okay.
• 1:37:27
  Because the thing is, I could fully accept the people.
• 1:37:29
  You know, things happen, things change, you know, shit happens,
• 1:37:33
  right? Yeah.
• 1:37:34
  When people don't have the decency to get back to you on
• 1:37:36
  that. And and so clarify, why?
• 1:37:39
  And they essentially just ghost you, you like, okay, right on.
• 1:37:42
  But you have to be professional about it and you have to think,
• 1:37:45
  Head and because it's your things you got to be like okay
• 1:37:47
  well I can't rely on this guest so as you said I won't come up
• 1:37:51
  with something for myself or you know whatever but I think if
• 1:37:54
  anything it's a good way of pushing yourself and as you set
• 1:37:58
  up, practicing just talking about a toddler Topic at length.
• 1:38:02
  You know, like often funnily enough, I approached my solo
• 1:38:06
  episodes the same way. I approach my interviews, I just
• 1:38:08
  write down all these things. I'm going to talk about like
• 1:38:11
  bullet points and sort of just go from A to B or A to Z and
• 1:38:15
  just try and work through and create something out of that.
• 1:38:20
  Because the first time I remember trying to do those
• 1:38:23
  podcasts where I just pick a topic and then just talk at
• 1:38:26
  length and that's fine if you're doing a vlog or like a mini
• 1:38:30
  story, but if you're doing a podcast, you know, it's you need
• 1:38:33
  to structure. You need, you need a flow even
• 1:38:37
  with even with these interviews and people sometimes think that
• 1:38:39
  it's really easy, just sitting ask questions but it's not,
• 1:38:42
  you've got you've got a craft something.
• 1:38:45
  It's logical. You've got a you know do it in
• 1:38:49
  such a way that it promotes, whatever that person wants to
• 1:38:51
  promote and gets the best of them, you know, and really, you
• 1:38:55
  know, takes into account, everything about that person
• 1:38:58
  that there is to kind of talk about and discuss.
• 1:39:01
  Yeah. And one thing I've always, you
• 1:39:05
  know, sort of learned from my guest is that they're always
• 1:39:08
  kind of say impressed with that the research is done but I can't
• 1:39:13
  imagine not doing that like that.
• 1:39:15
  That's I mean you don't have to necessarily have research by the
• 1:39:18
  person but if you don't at least have like you know your
• 1:39:21
  questions information on the blinking you don't like yeah
• 1:39:24
  something to go off of then it's like how am I doing?
• 1:39:28
  Yeah. Absolutely or even even just
• 1:39:29
  like some things that you're prepared that you want to talk
• 1:39:32
  to this person about I'll give you just come in at it like I've
• 1:39:35
  had times when you know the other person like I've appeared
• 1:39:39
  on other people's podcast and they've kind of expected me to
• 1:39:44
  You know, guide it and I'm like, well, it's your podcast.
• 1:39:47
  I mean, I'll talk happen. If you just want me to talk,
• 1:39:50
  I'll talk. I'll make it fun.
• 1:39:52
  But like, I think it's always up to the person.
• 1:39:55
  Hosting the podcast that guide it and guy, you, you know, I
• 1:39:58
  always say beforehand if I'm appearing on someone's shoulder,
• 1:40:01
  like, do I need some research? Do I need to be prepared?
• 1:40:04
  And if they say yeah, I'm okay. But if they say no, I'm like,
• 1:40:08
  okay, when it's up to you so I don't know.
• 1:40:12
  But I think that's it. That's a key point.
• 1:40:15
  Isn't it? For all podcast, it's just to
• 1:40:17
  have some structure, how to plan it out because it's going to
• 1:40:20
  help you in the long run? Yeah, but anyway, let's let's
• 1:40:24
  switch up and let's do more positive thing.
• 1:40:26
  Positive question, what have been other than the, the episode
• 1:40:30
  that you had that got the higher amount of views?
• 1:40:33
  What would you say? Have been sort of the biggest
• 1:40:34
  triumphs for your podcast so far.
• 1:40:41
  I'll be honest, I don't think I have any big Triumph is like, I
• 1:40:44
  have like that, like, like better episodes that I think
• 1:40:46
  like, oh, I for this some sort of A disruption because you
• 1:40:49
  like, you have episode. I like, okay, I like this one
• 1:40:54
  more than this one. I like how it was done.
• 1:40:56
  Whatever. Yeah.
• 1:40:57
  Like formatted but you like, never going to choose like a
• 1:41:01
  favor. That I mean I don't have a
• 1:41:03
  favorite episodes. I've done not gonna choose a
• 1:41:04
  favorites. Like I'm proud of their rule.
• 1:41:07
  Great. Everything, just some less than
• 1:41:11
  like this. I'm proud of all of them.
• 1:41:13
  Just all in different amounts like fasting because Triumph or
• 1:41:19
  my podcast was probably just, I think how accepting people were
• 1:41:23
  like. Oh okay, I'll probably give it a
• 1:41:25
  listen and then it's like, hmm, seems interesting, okay why not?
• 1:41:29
  I think that that would be it because I don't really have
• 1:41:31
  like, a really big moment in my podcast yet yet hopefully
• 1:41:36
  someday Sometime. Hopefully.
• 1:41:42
  Okay, awesome. Awesome outside of podcasting.
• 1:41:46
  Do you have any sort of like Hobbies or interests that you're
• 1:41:49
  particularly fond of or, you know, paint us a picture of
• 1:41:52
  stuff? A James.
• 1:41:54
  Thank you. I could paint like I can
• 1:41:57
  literally paint. I do like drawing stuff like a
• 1:42:00
  kind of artistic like I'm creative.
• 1:42:01
  I've been told it's like I do draw.
• 1:42:04
  Sometimes, I think I'm a Sketchbook somewhere here, I'm a
• 1:42:07
  Sketchbook over there. That's been kind of mostly on
• 1:42:10
  But that's a Sketchbook. I don't need to focus on that.
• 1:42:13
  So it's like every once in a while I like draw or something
• 1:42:16
  like, and that's really a drawing.
• 1:42:20
  It's just, I've always been like kind of talent that art.
• 1:42:24
  And I remember when I was in school, I never failed anything
• 1:42:26
  in art. I'm a seagull like, 90s a lot
• 1:42:30
  and then like, every occasion when it came to like doing a
• 1:42:32
  mosaic 70s because I don't like mosaics I more than like drawing
• 1:42:38
  and stuff. I I do like solving Rubik's
• 1:42:41
  Cubes. So cool, is because I taught
• 1:42:44
  myself like I taught myself. I watched the video on how to do
• 1:42:47
  it back when I was in 6th grade, that's when I forgot my first
• 1:42:51
  Rubik's Cube. And then from there, now,
• 1:42:55
  frostbite to, like, seven years later.
• 1:42:57
  I'm at that point 76. I don't remember how old I was
• 1:43:00
  when I started this, I was 10 or 11.
• 1:43:04
  Yeah, and Amy it was interesting because I do like Puzzles.
• 1:43:09
  At that point, I am trying to get something be complete.
• 1:43:12
  I'm looking around my room. See, if I Rubik's cube right now
• 1:43:15
  I do in the back, I'm just not going to get it right now.
• 1:43:18
  I feel like I have this right here.
• 1:43:22
  This holy place. So this is 11 cm by 11 cm.
• 1:43:28
  It's a light and the battery's dead.
• 1:43:32
  So I can turn it on, but it also holding works.
• 1:43:37
  So Cuban. I've solved this before.
• 1:43:39
  It is a pain to solve because my hands are not that big.
• 1:43:43
  I can fully turn everything, and my hands are pretty big.
• 1:43:47
  Like the wingspan of my hand. I'm using wingspan of my hat is
• 1:43:49
  like eight and a half inches. Well, I don't really fit my hand
• 1:43:56
  on this team. Again, I see that fly.
• 1:44:01
  Fast. Suggest yummy Rubik's Cube light
• 1:44:04
  though, I see works. I have the world's most Rubik's
• 1:44:08
  Cube down there. Have a 5x5 2x2 summer.
• 1:44:11
  I'll be downstairs. I'm three by three.
• 1:44:13
  Wow, but it doesn't mean I'm going to put this on the floor
• 1:44:16
  because I've nowhere else to put it.
• 1:44:19
  Not the point that even when I was like starting college and I
• 1:44:22
  try to get like into like as much as it costs, much of my
• 1:44:25
  college offers, I like I want to be involved because I was in
• 1:44:28
  student. When I was in high school and I
• 1:44:31
  really enjoyed it and fall to my school and so my college did
• 1:44:36
  something called like a Got Talent week, which I think it's
• 1:44:39
  over now because it was different previous week.
• 1:44:41
  And so I sent in a video on myself, solving a 2x2 Rubik's
• 1:44:44
  cube blindfolded and nice one and because they stood me a post
• 1:44:50
  on her Instagram, we need a Rubik's Cube wizard.
• 1:44:52
  I messaged him back saying I don't consider myself a wizard I
• 1:44:55
  just know how to solve 1. Like what's your best time like
• 1:44:59
  My best time for Q by 3 is a minute.
• 1:45:01
  It's like and that's not fast no honest.
• 1:45:04
  That's not even fast because you have people do 30 seconds.
• 1:45:07
  There's a teacher someone getting like what less than four
• 1:45:09
  seconds is the record less than four seconds.
• 1:45:14
  I don't like for a sec. I think I like the cold on.
• 1:45:17
  I'm gonna look this up right now, just how people are fasting
• 1:45:22
  on creep IQ Rubik's Cube. World Record 04, 22 seconds or
• 1:45:31
  three point, four seven five that's mind-blowing.
• 1:45:34
  So yeah, you can basically less than 5 Seconds saw one if you're
• 1:45:37
  good enough, and they're like, but that's not fast.
• 1:45:41
  Like no, I don't consider that fast.
• 1:45:43
  I just know how to do it fast. So point where it's a minute and
• 1:45:47
  my best time for to buy tools like now my best time for two by
• 1:45:50
  two after doing that videos like 30 seconds blindfolded.
• 1:45:54
  Yeah well done by 5 would be like like a few minutes because
• 1:45:58
  that's A lot more returning, and other than those two Hobbies I
• 1:46:05
  do sing, I do rap not well, but I do it for fun.
• 1:46:11
  Just I can sing in six languages because I taught myself how to
• 1:46:15
  do that. Don't want to wrap in one
• 1:46:18
  language. I can only rock in English
• 1:46:19
  because rapping in any other language.
• 1:46:21
  Probably gonna be a lot more difficult.
• 1:46:24
  Do you think you'll incorporate these things into into your
• 1:46:27
  podcast in the future? Maybe you like, I've Thought
• 1:46:29
  about it this but also working out.
• 1:46:32
  Like what am I going to do with it?
• 1:46:35
  And how am I going to involve it?
• 1:46:39
  But yeah, but singing is actually pretty fun.
• 1:46:42
  Even though, I think I suck at it, I just like, I do it because
• 1:46:45
  it's fun, like, when I like, before I start recording an
• 1:46:48
  episode, I like singing a few songs I'll to, like some of
• 1:46:51
  that, but like, before, like my class and I don't know a lot
• 1:46:56
  like before, I'm, like, waiting for my class start.
• 1:46:58
  I'll sing. I like old saying something like
• 1:47:01
  English French Spanish. Mainly, I haven't sung in
• 1:47:05
  Italian in a while. Same thing with Romanian
• 1:47:08
  Portuguese often sometimes. Yeah.
• 1:47:12
  Nice topping is just wrapping for me.
• 1:47:14
  It's just because I do talk fast normally.
• 1:47:17
  Hmm. It's got to the point that
• 1:47:19
  people don't understand what I say, sometimes, because I can
• 1:47:22
  say it in one breath, uh, performance.
• 1:47:25
  It's just Yeah. Okay, rapping is kind of decent,
• 1:47:30
  that's precious. Thanks for sharing mom.
• 1:47:33
  And as we draw to a close today, do you have any kind of upcoming
• 1:47:39
  messages that you'd like to sort of deliver to your fan base?
• 1:47:42
  Or, you know, maybe people that listen to this podcast or any
• 1:47:46

• 1:47:48

• 1:47:59
  upcoming topics so far because I have a little notebook right
• 1:48:02
  here, full of them and I haven't looked in here for a while.
• 1:48:06
  So I've no idea what's in here. I might be incorporating like a
• 1:48:10
  different formats. I might just I might I'm
• 1:48:13
  probably going to record an episode sometime soon.
• 1:48:17
  Hopefully soon if I have to have the time To like give a bit of
• 1:48:21
  an update on my podcast, like the future of it.
• 1:48:25
  Hopefully soon. I can upload my thirteenth
• 1:48:28
  episode of my podcast starring Christian because and I've still
• 1:48:33
  yet to upload it. It's gonna be a really late
• 1:48:35
  Halloween special, but it's a Halloween special nonetheless.
• 1:48:39
  I've always considered November is like s Halloween.
• 1:48:42
  Anyway, what The Nightmare Before Christmas is the November
• 1:48:46
  of movies. Beth, because it's Halloween and
• 1:48:51
  Christmas. It's the November of movies
• 1:48:53
  because not November is not a movie found Fair enough?
• 1:48:59
  Yeah. So like what's the genre of this
• 1:49:03
  movie? November sick?
• 1:49:05
  What it's both Halloween and Christmas.
• 1:49:08
  It's like, AA. November.
• 1:49:10
  Nice. It's like Hovis best of both.
• 1:49:15
  All this sounds wrong. So that means you not do not
• 1:49:19
  have Harvest Bread in Canada. I guess who is Fred?
• 1:49:24
  No, because I've never heard of it.
• 1:49:26
  It's a type of bread manufacturer, we have here.
• 1:49:29
  As a particular brand that I don't know if they still make it
• 1:49:32
  was 50/50, so it's 50%, White's 50 Cent Brown, hence 50/50, you
• 1:49:37
  know, Beth and their slogan was best of both.
• 1:49:40
  And I always kind of found that a bit funny.
• 1:49:42
  I mean, I've made bread before like, I like bacon.
• 1:49:45
  Well, I've made like last time Made bread.
• 1:49:48
  I made chocolate babka bread. Oh, and that took like seven
• 1:49:51
  hours because just like, yeah, it's like wait for everything to
• 1:49:55
  but it's worth it in the end, and it was a lot of mess because
• 1:49:58

  asking for people's feedback on that, I don't remember getting

  it. But yeah, I think some people
