162 Ramble On · bit of a Rambler

Speaker 1: Hello, my name is Kai, and I am a bit
0:02
Speaker 1: of a rambler. I like to travel, learn, and tell stories.
0:07
Speaker 1: And let's ramble on. So, thank you for the wedding, groomsmen,
0:13
Speaker 1: best men, hippie drill sergeant, I believe I said. It
0:18
Speaker 1: was amazing. It was a lot of fun. I didn't
0:20
Speaker 1: tell as many stories about that as I wanted to,
0:23
Speaker 1: because there was so much going on. Real quick, when
0:26
Speaker 1: we sang karaoke until 5.30 in the morning... A good
0:31
Speaker 1: singer was with us, so there's all the groomsmen. There's
0:36
Speaker 1: a few of us, and then one really good singer
0:39
Speaker 1: made of honor, and she made us all sound good
0:41
Speaker 1: the whole night. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't have gone on
0:43
Speaker 1: as long as it did, but with her singing, it
0:46
Speaker 1: sounded amazing. We had a couple mics, passed them around.
0:49
Speaker 1: It was a ton of fun. My bus was canceled,
0:53
Speaker 1: my Flixbus, out of Portland, so I I had to
1:00
Speaker 1: leave one day early because I had it two days late.
1:02
Speaker 1: So the problem with that was that they needed someone
1:06
Speaker 1: to drink all of the beer from the wedding. I
1:09
Speaker 1: mentioned they bought so much beer and drinks. They had
1:11
Speaker 1: tons of vodka and margaritas and all this stuff left.
1:15
Speaker 1: And I drank quite a bit of it. And bride
1:18
Speaker 1: was like, what do we do with all this extra beer?
1:20
Speaker 1: Because there was still half a keg. And groomsman was like, oh,
1:24
Speaker 1: I can drink it. And I said, thank you so
1:26
Speaker 1: much for your vote of confidence. I really appreciate this. Unfortunately,
1:30
Speaker 1: I have to leave in like three hours now instead
1:33
Speaker 1: of 27 hours. If it was 27 hours, I would
1:36
Speaker 1: 100% try to drink half a keg of beer. How
1:40
Speaker 1: many beers is that? 165 for a keg is what
1:45
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Okay, that's like 80 beers. That's... I hate
1:51
Speaker 1: to tell you this publicly, but that's not super crazy
1:55
Speaker 1: for me over a 24-hour period. It would be at
1:59
Speaker 1: my upper limit for sure, but I would have loved
2:02
Speaker 1: to try. But I did not get the chance because
2:06
Speaker 1: my bus was canceled, but there was another bus leaving
2:09
Speaker 1: in three hours, and if I didn't get it, I'd
2:11
Speaker 1: have to wait three days. And I like to move around,
2:15
Speaker 1: so I just wanted to get on to the next
2:17
Speaker 1: leg of the journey, which... was going to Denver to
2:21
Speaker 1: visit friends who completely coincidentally moved to Denver at the
2:27
Speaker 1: same time that I was going to go there and
2:29
Speaker 1: renew my documents and driver's license and all that. I'm
2:33
Speaker 1: going to switch residencies though. I'm going to go to
2:36
Speaker 1: a no tax state just so when I stop at home,
2:39
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about paying state tax because
2:42
Speaker 1: a lot of states are starting to do like, tell
2:45
Speaker 1: us exactly how many days you're in the state and
2:47
Speaker 1: pay us that percentage of tax and i don't want
2:51
Speaker 1: to do that why do that when there are states
2:53
Speaker 1: with no state i'll just go to the ones without
2:55
Speaker 1: state income tax yes please so i'm gonna hang out
2:59
Speaker 1: in denver get my documents renewed and then i'm already
3:04
Speaker 1: planning on where to go next i don't know how
3:07
Speaker 1: much longer i'll be here but it's such the thing
3:10
Speaker 1: i really like about denver is that it's always dry
3:15
Speaker 1: which is kind of a superpower You can have a
3:19
Speaker 1: rainstorm with hail, like I experienced this week, and it's crazy,
3:25
Speaker 1: and any other city would be flooded out. But it
3:28
Speaker 1: goes for maybe 20, 40 minutes, something like that, just
3:31
Speaker 1: an insane storm, and then it'll stop. And then 10
3:34
Speaker 1: minutes later, all of the streets are half dry, and
3:37
Speaker 1: you can go out riding your bike again. It's totally fine.
3:39
Speaker 1: There's not going to be puddles everywhere and that. It
3:42
Speaker 1: drains and dries so quickly, but there's still green trees
3:45
Speaker 1: and rivers all around the state. So Colorado is a
3:48
Speaker 1: nice spot. So I'll probably hang out here a little
3:51
Speaker 1: while and say hello to my friends. I have several
3:54
Speaker 1: friends in Denver because I did live here for a
3:56
Speaker 1: little while a few years back and moving around the city.
4:02
Speaker 1: And it's time to renew my documents. So I'm going
4:03
Speaker 1: to do that. And I guess I might as well
4:06
Speaker 1: talk about it. How difficult is it to renew your documents?
4:08
Speaker 1: It is super easy almost everywhere. I'm sure there's like
4:12
Speaker 1: two states where it sucks to renew your driver's license.
4:15
Speaker 1: It's very easy in most states. So traveling perennially, your
4:19
Speaker 1: driver's license will probably last for six to 10 years.
4:23
Speaker 1: At the end of that, you write in to renew
4:26
Speaker 1: your license. They mail a license to your address and
4:31
Speaker 1: then you have your new license. Now, if you're a traveler,
4:35
Speaker 1: then you don't have a address. You will just send
4:38
Speaker 1: it to your last address. There's actually a bunch of options.
4:42
Speaker 1: So you can either send it to your last address
4:44
Speaker 1: and have your mail forwarded to a friend's house and
4:47
Speaker 1: then get it from them or have them mail it
4:48
Speaker 1: to you. Or you can rent a house for a
4:51
Speaker 1: little bit, get mail sent to you, go to the
4:53
Speaker 1: post office, have them change your address and have the
4:57
Speaker 1: new document sent to your new address. Or the easiest way,
5:01
Speaker 1: you pay three bucks. It's the US, you can just
5:03
Speaker 1: buy stuff. If you pay the USPS $ 3, then they'll
5:06
Speaker 1: change your address instantly. So you can also move anywhere
5:12
Speaker 1: Go online, pay three bucks or whatever it is. It
5:14
Speaker 1: is very cheap. And then you have that address and
5:18
Speaker 1: you can send your documents there. So that's a question
5:21
Speaker 1: I do get. How difficult is it to renew your
5:23
Speaker 1: passport or renew your license or whatever document, your credit cards?
5:28
Speaker 1: It's not that tricky. I send credit cards to my
5:33
Speaker 1: family and then I pick them up when I'm the
5:38
Speaker 1: next time I'm in the States. So far that has
5:41
Speaker 1: worked for 15 years very easily. I've had cards mailed
5:45
Speaker 1: to me before also. That's never failed for me. I
5:49
Speaker 1: hear that people lose their cards sometimes. I never have.
5:54
Speaker 1: And I've had all sorts of documents mailed. Birth certificate,
5:58
Speaker 1: social security card, medical records, driver's license, passport. I've renewed
6:05
Speaker 1: that abroad. That's actually really easy to renew abroad. Anywhere
6:08
Speaker 1: with a embassy of your country. You go into that embassy,
6:13
Speaker 1: you fill out a form, you pay the fee, and
6:15
Speaker 1: they give you a new passport. So you can mail
6:17
Speaker 1: stuff anywhere and really even get your stuff renewed anywhere.
6:21
Speaker 1: I just figured since I had to come back to
6:23
Speaker 1: the States anyway, and then my friends were moving back
6:27
Speaker 1: to the States, and then I have other friends around
6:30
Speaker 1: the city, I would just hang out in the U.S.
6:33
Speaker 1: for a little bit, check out how much crazier it's gotten.
6:38
Speaker 1: People are still mostly pretending things are the same, but
6:43
Speaker 1: it's definitely in the air and people are muttering things
6:47
Speaker 1: to the aside like, things are so crazy now, I
6:50
Speaker 1: should start smoking pot again. I just heard an old
6:52
Speaker 1: man say that at the library too. The librarian. So
6:56
Speaker 1: I have never tried a hoverboard before, which is still
7:00
Speaker 1: a weird name for these things. They have two wheels
7:02
Speaker 1: that are definitely not hovering. And then there's a platform
7:05
Speaker 1: between the two wheels and you stand. And if you
7:07
Speaker 1: lean forward, you go forward and back, you go back.
7:09
Speaker 1: It's like a Segway without the handlebars. I've always wanted
7:12
Speaker 1: to try one. They always seemed extremely dangerous and difficult
7:17
Speaker 1: to control. And they are, but they are also a
7:22
Speaker 1: lot of fun and very interesting. My friend had one
7:25
Speaker 1: sitting around in her closet and said I could take
7:28
Speaker 1: it and use it as much as I wanted to.
7:30
Speaker 1: She didn't use it much anymore. And When I first
7:34
Speaker 1: got to Denver, I didn't have the e-bike and I
7:37
Speaker 1: didn't have any way to get around. And as soon
7:40
Speaker 1: as I got on this thing on the hoverboard, I
7:43
Speaker 1: was like, oh, well, I won't be going anywhere with
7:46
Speaker 1: this except around the neighborhood because there's no way I
7:51
Speaker 1: would ever feel safe going even like around the corner
7:56
Speaker 1: to the supermarket on this thing. They're not stable. Now,
8:01
Speaker 1: I have pretty good balance. I got a hang of
8:04
Speaker 1: it really quick, and I did like how it felt.
8:07
Speaker 1: It was super cool. I just would never go anywhere
8:09
Speaker 1: near vehicles with it. People drive terribly. I... Yeah, if
8:16
Speaker 1: I messed up or... I don't trust people driving cars
8:20
Speaker 1: when I'm riding a straight line on a bicycle in
8:23
Speaker 1: the bicycle lane. If I'm on a hoverboard... There's no
8:28
Speaker 1: way I would trust the people in the cars not
8:30
Speaker 1: to just run straight into me. But it was good exercise.
8:34
Speaker 1: I was really working out my legs when I was
8:36
Speaker 1: on it, I noticed. And it was really interesting because
8:38
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of hills. And so I was going
8:40
Speaker 1: up and down hills and staying on. And I got
8:43
Speaker 1: the hang of it after, I don't know, 20 minutes
8:45
Speaker 1: or so. And it was great leg exercise. So I
8:50
Speaker 1: kept practicing the hoverboard for a couple weeks until I
8:53
Speaker 1: left that neighborhood and went to another one. My friend
8:56
Speaker 1: showed me the basics in her kitchen. Stand up, turn around,
9:00
Speaker 1: forward and backward, and then was just like, get on.
9:03
Speaker 1: And I did. It was a ton of fun. Well,
9:06
Speaker 1: I went to two different Indian buffets in that neighborhood,
9:10
Speaker 1: and they were both stunning. I kind of miss Indian food,
9:14
Speaker 1: but it's very clear that it's not the same as
9:19
Speaker 1: Indian food in India, which, of course, all the Chinese
9:22
Speaker 1: food in the U.S. is certainly not Chinese food from China,
9:28
Speaker 1: and I'm not surprised. But I used to love the
9:31
Speaker 1: Indian buffet so much, and I still do. I still
9:34
Speaker 1: love Indian buffets here in the U.S. It's just interesting
9:38
Speaker 1: because I'm so unfamiliar. I was only living in India once.
9:41
Speaker 1: I've never really cooked Indian food myself, except for while
9:46
Speaker 1: I was in India and I cooked a bunch of
9:48
Speaker 1: chili paneer and chili gobi and stuff. But Indian food
9:52
Speaker 1: is great, and it does taste a little different here
9:56
Speaker 1: in the U.S., then it doesn't end here. Go figure.
10:00
Speaker 1: But I'd say it's closer, for me, U.S. Indian food
10:04
Speaker 1: is closer to Indian Indian food than U.S. Chinese food
10:11
Speaker 1: is to China Chinese food. The U.S. Chinese food definitely
10:16
Speaker 1: bears no resemblance to Chinese food from China, whereas U.S.
10:21
Speaker 1: Indian food does taste like food from India. Pretty similar,
10:25
Speaker 1: if a little simpler and not as strong. In any case,
10:29
Speaker 1: it was great to go to those Indian buffets again.
10:31
Speaker 1: So then I was out the next day, bombing on
10:33
Speaker 1: the hoverboard, exercising my legs, and this gorgeous girl stopped
10:40
Speaker 1: me on the sidewalk to tell me she liked my
10:44
Speaker 1: whole look and asked if she could try the hoverboard.
10:49
Speaker 1: And she hopped right on. She said her brother had
10:51
Speaker 1: one and she did pretty good. But it's it was unstable.
10:55
Speaker 1: She said the one her brother had was a lot
10:57
Speaker 1: more stable. So I haven't tried any other ones yet.
11:00
Speaker 1: I've just tried this one model and it was it
11:03
Speaker 1: was quite unstable. But I did get used to it
11:05
Speaker 1: after a little while and it was still good exercise.
11:09
Speaker 1: So thanks, gorgeous girl. Old driveway man, I was practicing
11:13
Speaker 1: going up and down driveways. So there was a driveway
11:15
Speaker 1: without a bump. And I just practiced going up and
11:18
Speaker 1: down these really steep angles, turning around, going down and up.
11:21
Speaker 1: And I did that a few times. I did that
11:22
Speaker 1: for like five or ten minutes. And then an old
11:25
Speaker 1: man came out of the house and said, hey there.
11:27
Speaker 1: And I was like, hey. And he's like, what's that?
11:30
Speaker 1: And I explained the hoverboard. He was like, holy cow.
11:34
Speaker 1: He was like really excited to watch me. And I
11:36
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I'm starting to get the hang of it.
11:38
Speaker 1: And I explained how it worked and showed him turning
11:41
Speaker 1: around and going up and down his driveway. And he's like, wow, well,
11:45
Speaker 1: I won't try it. I was like, that's a good idea.
11:47
Speaker 1: You will die. You will be dead. Torchy's Tacos. There's
11:53
Speaker 1: a very good taco place called Torchy's Tacos that I
11:55
Speaker 1: didn't go to the whole time I lived in Denver before.
11:58
Speaker 1: And I went this time and I was blown away.
12:01
Speaker 1: And I got the nachos and I got a few
12:04
Speaker 1: different tacos. And they're all great, high quality, high quality stuff.
12:10
Speaker 1: And there's a bar in the back. I did get... Whatever.
12:13
Speaker 1: I got some mixed drink. It was really fun. Pretty
12:16
Speaker 1: much every day I went out on the hoverboard, someone
12:19
Speaker 1: pointed at me. I saw this I saw this one
12:22
Speaker 1: kid like learning how to ride his bike with his dad.
12:25
Speaker 1: And he saw me going down the street on the
12:27
Speaker 1: hoverboard and he looked at me and then his eyes
12:29
Speaker 1: like locked on me going down the street on this hoverboard.
12:32
Speaker 1: And it was clear. It's just like, what is happening?
12:34
Speaker 1: It was a young kid just learning to ride his
12:37
Speaker 1: first bike. And because he was staring at me, he
12:39
Speaker 1: wasn't looking at the road. He just turned and almost
12:41
Speaker 1: fell off his bike. But his dad caught him while
12:44
Speaker 1: he was just toppling over with his eyes locked on
12:46
Speaker 1: the hoverboard. Sorry. I might have said sorry and waved
12:50
Speaker 1: at them. I can't remember. Oh, the hoverboard has a
12:54
Speaker 1: speed alarm. So if you go over, I think it's
12:57
Speaker 1: like 12 miles an hour, maybe 15, something like that,
13:00
Speaker 1: it starts beeping at you. But I went over the
13:03
Speaker 1: speed limit so many times that... I guess this is
13:06
Speaker 1: what happened, that the speed alarm broke or maybe it
13:09
Speaker 1: auto shuts off. But it did for like a week.
13:13
Speaker 1: It was going off every single time I went over
13:15
Speaker 1: whatever the maximum limit was, which is very easy to
13:18
Speaker 1: go over. Once you get used to it, you'll start
13:20
Speaker 1: going a little bit faster. And then beep, beep, beep,
13:23
Speaker 1: you're going too fast. But one day I jumped on
13:27
Speaker 1: and I went normal. I was like, I feel like
13:29
Speaker 1: I'm going fast now, but there's no alarm. And there
13:32
Speaker 1: was never alarm no matter how fast I went. So
13:34
Speaker 1: I think... Maybe I beeped out that alarm and it broke.
13:39
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. Broke a speed alarm. I forgot about
13:43
Speaker 1: all the Denver sunsets. Denver sunsets are so nice. It
13:48
Speaker 1: must be the air. Every single sunset looks so clear.
13:51
Speaker 1: And there's a bunch of purples and yellows and pinks.
13:55
Speaker 1: And it's such a broad, big sky. Yeah, mountain life
13:59
Speaker 1: is nice. I missed Peru. I talk about it all
14:01
Speaker 1: the time to people here in Denver. And... show them
14:06
Speaker 1: the high elevation lakes and run a coach. I went
14:09
Speaker 1: to in Peru mountain life, baby. Speaking of mountain life,
14:14
Speaker 1: I have another type of life. I bought an electric
14:17
Speaker 1: scooter from a guy here for a reasonable amount of
14:21
Speaker 1: money and the scooter didn't go very far, but I
14:25
Speaker 1: kept depleting it fully and then charging it. And then
14:27
Speaker 1: I got 10 miles of range, which seemed okay to me.
14:31
Speaker 1: I was getting like Over 10 miles of range each trip,
14:34
Speaker 1: which seemed pretty normal to me in real world for
14:37
Speaker 1: something with that small of a battery. It only has
14:39
Speaker 1: like a 8 amp hour battery or something. But it's
14:43
Speaker 1: a ton of fun because it had solid tires. Sign
14:48
Speaker 1: me up. In China, I only had bicycles with solid
14:52
Speaker 1: tires because it was never worth it for me to
14:56
Speaker 1: change the tire. I know it's not difficult, but it's
14:58
Speaker 1: just a pain. I gotta get the extra tire. I
15:02
Speaker 1: gotta take it out of the thing. Gotta get my
15:04
Speaker 1: hands dirty. Something's probably gonna get dirty or gouged from
15:08
Speaker 1: the chain or the bicycle seat or whatever the heck.
15:12
Speaker 1: Take it out, you know, unscrew the thing, take off
15:15
Speaker 1: the wheel, take off the thing, take out the tube,
15:17
Speaker 1: put on a tube, put it back in. Make sure
15:19
Speaker 1: there's no, you know, sharp pokey thing in the tire
15:23
Speaker 1: that will mess up your new tube. Pump it up.
15:26
Speaker 1: After doing that, Oh, 10 times. I was like, this
15:28
Speaker 1: is crazy. There must be an airless tire by now.
15:32
Speaker 1: And luckily in China there was. And so I ordered one.
15:36
Speaker 1: It got to my apartment the next day. It was
15:39
Speaker 1: like six bucks, roughly maybe five. And that thing lasted
15:44
Speaker 1: me the next three years. And it would have lasted
15:47
Speaker 1: probably 20 years because it's just a solid piece of rubber.
15:49
Speaker 1: Now the traction was amazing because it's stuck to the road,
15:53
Speaker 1: but the buoyancy was rough like it was way more
15:57
Speaker 1: it was twice as difficult to pedal for sure but
16:00
Speaker 1: i had a road bike so it wasn't it still
16:02
Speaker 1: wasn't that difficult i could still get around the whole
16:03
Speaker 1: city pretty easy and i never even thought about switching
16:08
Speaker 1: back to air tires because i never had to worry
16:10
Speaker 1: about a flat it was very nice and this scooter
16:16
Speaker 1: too i was looking at all these different electric scooters
16:18
Speaker 1: and this was there was two of them i think
16:20
Speaker 1: with solid tires and And this one is the one
16:25
Speaker 1: I chose. And it was so much fun. Once I
16:27
Speaker 1: got used to being on a scooter, another toy I've
16:29
Speaker 1: never had, it was great. I went shopping and yeah,
16:34
Speaker 1: it was very useful, very handy little tool. And I
16:37
Speaker 1: used that for two weeks until I got an e-bike.
16:41
Speaker 1: My friend was selling an e-bike for a great price
16:45
Speaker 1: and we're friends, so he gave it to me. And
16:47
Speaker 1: so now I had this super cool Trek Townie Go,
16:50
Speaker 1: which has a 40 mile range. The only thing about
16:52
Speaker 1: the scooter, if the scooter had a 40 mile range,
16:55
Speaker 1: I 100% would have just kept the scooter, but it
16:57
Speaker 1: had an 11 mile range. So I sold the scooter
17:01
Speaker 1: for about the same that I bought it for after
17:03
Speaker 1: using it nonstop for two weeks and then got this
17:07
Speaker 1: bike for, again, a very reasonable price from a friend.
17:11
Speaker 1: And I have been riding that thing, man. He told
17:16
Speaker 1: me he generally rides about 1,000 miles a year on
17:20
Speaker 1: his e-bike. And I rode 100 miles the first day
17:25
Speaker 1: because it's so much fun. It's only pedal assist. I've
17:29
Speaker 1: only had full throttle e-bikes before. And I would ride
17:33
Speaker 1: around for four hours and then get home and be like,
17:36
Speaker 1: I didn't exercise. I haven't moved all day, even though
17:39
Speaker 1: I went out. So I decided to try this pedal
17:43
Speaker 1: assist only bike. And I love it, and I will
17:46
Speaker 1: probably only get pedal assist e-bikes from now on, because
17:51
Speaker 1: I love actually exercising while I'm out all day. And
17:54
Speaker 1: I'm going across Denver. I don't know if you're from Denver,
17:57
Speaker 1: but I have gone from Golden to Aurora multiple times
18:01
Speaker 1: and back. I'm going all over the city, up into
18:03
Speaker 1: the Highlands, down to Littleton. I'm just going around on
18:06
Speaker 1: this thing. And there's plugs everywhere, so I've had to
18:09
Speaker 1: plug in a few times. I'll stop by Sam's Club
18:12
Speaker 1: or Costco, and they don't care if you plug in there,
18:15
Speaker 1: and plenty of the parks have outlets. So it's been great.
18:19
Speaker 1: 40 miles is usually enough for me, but there have
18:22
Speaker 1: been a couple days when I've been out for eight hours,
18:24
Speaker 1: and I gotta juice up the bike. Okay, but it
18:28
Speaker 1: has air tires, and both the front and the back
18:33
Speaker 1: have popped probably five times each. And my buddy was like, man,
18:38
Speaker 1: I've been riding bikes for... I don't like the past.
18:41
Speaker 1: He told me about his latest bike and he's like,
18:43
Speaker 1: I've had this bike for three years, not a single
18:46
Speaker 1: flat tire. And I was like, wow, that's crazy. I
18:48
Speaker 1: popped mine constantly and I popped mine the next day.
18:53
Speaker 1: I was irritated, but I was close enough to home.
18:56
Speaker 1: I got it home. I bought a portable pump, electronic
19:01
Speaker 1: air pump off Amazon for 20 bucks. It's USB-C rechargeable
19:06
Speaker 1: and it's this little box with a tube and it's,
19:09
Speaker 1: has all the attachments and I can just pump up
19:11
Speaker 1: my tires like that. So I put slime in both
19:13
Speaker 1: of my tires because I hear heard good things. And
19:16
Speaker 1: then one of the things I've been doing is going
19:18
Speaker 1: all around for free Craigslist stuff. That's one of the
19:21
Speaker 1: best parts of living in the United States. There's so
19:26
Speaker 1: much free stuff on Craigslist that is very useful. I
19:30
Speaker 1: got a huge pouch of flat-out, which is the original
19:34
Speaker 1: bike slime. If you don't know, it's just a viscous
19:37
Speaker 1: fluid with plastic fibers inside, so when you get a
19:42
Speaker 1: puncture in your tire, the air pressure in your tire
19:44
Speaker 1: pushes the fibers together and they clump at the site
19:47
Speaker 1: of puncture, and it kind of creates a plug. So
19:52
Speaker 1: my front bike tire popped first. I got it home.
19:56
Speaker 1: I was upset because I had the bike for one day.
19:58
Speaker 1: I pumped it up and it held and I was like, OK.
20:02
Speaker 1: I also off of Craigslist got five e-bike tires that
20:05
Speaker 1: fit my exact e-bike. So that was great to find out. Yeah,
20:10
Speaker 1: very nice. But if I don't have to replace the tire,
20:14
Speaker 1: especially the back one that I'm not going to and
20:16
Speaker 1: I haven't yet. It's not worth it yet because it
20:21
Speaker 1: holds the air for days and I have this portable charge.
20:26
Speaker 1: So whenever it goes out, I just pump it up again,
20:28
Speaker 1: but it'll hold. I'll pump it up and then it'll
20:31
Speaker 1: be full for days. And the back one, I don't
20:35
Speaker 1: know how many they both have. The thing was, there
20:37
Speaker 1: was this huge rainstorm And once there was a rainstorm,
20:41
Speaker 1: I could see all the punctures in both tires. And
20:44
Speaker 1: they looked like they'd hit a porcupine at some point
20:46
Speaker 1: because there's so many punctures in these tires. But hey, whatever.
20:51
Speaker 1: It's riding great. It rides great. The electric pedal assist
20:55
Speaker 1: is great. I'm always on one. If I go on three,
20:57
Speaker 1: it's like I'm not even pedaling. So I just keep
21:00
Speaker 1: it on one all the time in the highest gear seven.
21:03
Speaker 1: It's fun. I love this bike. It's part of why
21:07
Speaker 1: I'm staying here. This is the best city. Denver is
21:09
Speaker 1: the best city to ride an e-bike around because it's
21:12
Speaker 1: dry constantly. There's tons of bike lanes. It's a very
21:16
Speaker 1: bike-friendly city. They're just about finished building... They might be
21:20
Speaker 1: finished by now, actually. Building the Rocky Mountain Bike Path,
21:23
Speaker 1: which is like a 90-kilometer bike path through the Rocky
21:27
Speaker 1: Mountains right west of Golden. It is cool. I went
21:31
Speaker 1: on the part of it that was already finished... a
21:35
Speaker 1: few years back when they were building it, but apparently
21:37
Speaker 1: they'll be finished soon or are already finished. So maybe
21:40
Speaker 1: I should go check that out, actually. See if they're
21:43
Speaker 1: finished already. E-bikes are so much fun and they're good exercise.
21:46
Speaker 1: I can get my groceries and get everything and go
21:50
Speaker 1: collect free stuff on Craigslist. So I have my rucksack
21:54
Speaker 1: and free stuff on Craigslist, again, it's crazy how much
21:57
Speaker 1: free stuff there is. So I needed some kitchen stuff.
22:00
Speaker 1: I went and got some stainless steel pans. I got
22:03
Speaker 1: a bunch of new sponges, I got some distilled white vinegar,
22:06
Speaker 1: I got some clear hypoallergenic soap, I got a towel,
22:12
Speaker 1: I got a bathrobe, although the bathrobe was stinky, threw
22:14
Speaker 1: it out. I got a free carpet, I got a sofa.
22:19
Speaker 1: I was looking at all the free stuff, and a
22:21
Speaker 1: dude with an SUV said, hey, do you want me
22:23
Speaker 1: to drive that sofa back for you? Because I was
22:26
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how I could get it back home,
22:28
Speaker 1: because I had a bicycle. And I was like, yeah.
22:32
Speaker 1: So he said, Furfury just drove my new, extremely nice
22:39
Speaker 1: leather couch back to the place I was staying. And
22:43
Speaker 1: I said thank you very much and gave him a
22:47
Speaker 1: few bucks and a sandwich because he wasn't in the
22:51
Speaker 1: money at the moment. But it was totally worth it.
22:54
Speaker 1: I have been sleeping on this couch. It is so comfortable.
22:58
Speaker 1: Loving it, loving it. So I got a giant, nice leather...
23:01
Speaker 1: It looks new, like a new-looking, nice leather couch. What
23:05
Speaker 1: else did I get? I got one table, two table,
23:09
Speaker 1: a study desk, free bed. Oh, a giant TV, flat screen,
23:15
Speaker 1: 36-inch flat screen, something like that. There's a 65-inch, but
23:21
Speaker 1: it just... Yeah, they have so many free things here,
23:25
Speaker 1: and it seemed too big. I just got the 36-whatever-this-is,
23:30
Speaker 1: which is plenty big to play video games on and
23:32
Speaker 1: watch movies and TV. Got some new shoes. Got some... Oh,
23:39
Speaker 1: new birthday decorations. Or probably used for my friend's birthday.
23:46
Speaker 1: Ton of chairs for all the tables that fit. bedding,
23:51
Speaker 1: new bedding. Been using that. Oh, great house plants. I
23:56
Speaker 1: got a fern and a spider plant. I got a painting,
24:01
Speaker 1: painting by the guy who owned the couch. It was
24:05
Speaker 1: nice and he was like not taking it with me. Thanks. Yeah,
24:09
Speaker 1: there's so much new free stuff on Craigslist. There's plenty
24:12
Speaker 1: of old crappy stuff too, but there's so much stuff
24:15
Speaker 1: that I just ride around and get stuff. Like I said,
24:18
Speaker 1: there's a new pouch of flat out, it works amazing.
24:23
Speaker 1: I've put in my back tire. That tire has popped
24:27
Speaker 1: so many times, and I still ride on it for
24:30
Speaker 1: days after I pump it back up. Oh, new amazing lamp.
24:36
Speaker 1: There are these really cool diffused light lamps, and the
24:40
Speaker 1: light is pointed up toward the ceiling so it's not
24:43
Speaker 1: glaring in your eyes. Curtains, curtain rods. I, everything, everything
24:50
Speaker 1: in my apartment is free from Craigslist. Just new free stuff.
24:55
Speaker 1: US Americans have this thing where they think they have
24:58
Speaker 1: to buy a new thing all the time. And then
25:00
Speaker 1: if they don't like it, they just get rid of it.
25:02
Speaker 1: Half the time they throw it away, probably more than
25:04
Speaker 1: half the time they throw it away. But a bunch
25:06
Speaker 1: of people put free stuff on Craigslist. So I'll just
25:08
Speaker 1: scroll through that. I'll get stuff for free. Trying to
25:13
Speaker 1: think of the other, I know there was a Another big,
25:16
Speaker 1: cool one. Got a bunch of cool puzzles. Got a
25:19
Speaker 1: great atlas. Oh, very nice new pillows. Some cool bar chairs.
25:26
Speaker 1: I can't remember. Oh, one cool thing I got from
25:30
Speaker 1: a thrift store, Ark. I was walking past the electronics
25:34
Speaker 1: and I just stopped. I was like, wait a minute.
25:37
Speaker 1: And I didn't see anything, but there was this big thing,
25:40
Speaker 1: and I didn't even know what it was, on the
25:42
Speaker 1: bottom shelf. And I just moved it aside, and there
25:45
Speaker 1: was a deli meat slicer. Like, right there. Like, the
25:49
Speaker 1: rotary blade on a plastic thing. That's what I was
25:52
Speaker 1: looking for. And I just sensed it was there. And
25:56
Speaker 1: it was on sale. So I got a slicer that
25:58
Speaker 1: is new for three bucks. I think people didn't like
26:01
Speaker 1: because it doesn't stand up. So it doesn't look like
26:04
Speaker 1: a deli slicer. It's not, like, stable standing up. So
26:07
Speaker 1: I just put it flat on its back. It's perfectly
26:10
Speaker 1: stable like that. And then slice meats or fruits for
26:14
Speaker 1: jerky or dried fruit. And I have jerky and dried
26:18
Speaker 1: fruit for $ 3. A new meat slicer. It and fruit slicer.
26:23
Speaker 1: Been using it a lot. Been slicing up a lot
26:25
Speaker 1: of oranges. They've been crazy good. So yeah, I'm definitely
26:29
Speaker 1: in the money with all the finds I've been getting
26:33
Speaker 1: since I got back here. Go to the thrift shop. Oh,
26:38
Speaker 1: I was in Central South America all last year. So
26:41
Speaker 1: I heard this lady questioning, speaking English, questioning another lady
26:46
Speaker 1: who kept saying like, I'm very sorry, I can speak
26:49
Speaker 1: zero English. And she was saying that in Spanish. But
26:52
Speaker 1: the English speaking lady was like a grandma. And she
26:54
Speaker 1: just kept speaking like louder and slower. She was trying
26:57
Speaker 1: to be very nice, but she couldn't understand that the
27:00
Speaker 1: lady was saying, I cannot speak any English. So she
27:04
Speaker 1: just kept trying. no, where did you get your pants?
27:09
Speaker 1: That's what she was trying to find out. And she
27:10
Speaker 1: just kept doing it for like three minutes in earshot
27:14
Speaker 1: while I was walking around the other aisles. So I
27:16
Speaker 1: went around and I got to, I got to translate
27:19
Speaker 1: and it was cool. Oh, it might've been a dress
27:22
Speaker 1: because I don't remember saying pantalones. I think I said vestido.
27:26
Speaker 1: Donde comprar su vestido? Something like that. Where did you
27:30
Speaker 1: buy your dress? And the Spanish speaking lady was like
27:32
Speaker 1: so happy. And she was like, oh, I got it
27:34
Speaker 1: down the street at a Ross. And I was like, oh, Ross,
27:39
Speaker 1: and she was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I told
27:41
Speaker 1: the old lady, it's at a Ross. And she was like,
27:43
Speaker 1: which Ross? And I said, lo siento, Ross de donde?
27:50
Speaker 1: Which Ross is it? And she was like, I can't remember.
27:53
Speaker 1: And I told the old lady and she was like,
27:54
Speaker 1: that's fine. I'll go to all of them. Thank you
27:56
Speaker 1: so much. And that's why you should travel for 15
28:00
Speaker 1: years because one time you'll be useful. no, you should
28:04
Speaker 1: travel because it's amazing. But it's really nice to translate
28:08
Speaker 1: when I can. I like doing with Chinese tourists also,
28:11
Speaker 1: but Chinese tourists are always in a, they're so often
28:15
Speaker 1: in a group that they, you rarely want to intercede
28:19
Speaker 1: and help them because they're just speaking to each other
28:21
Speaker 1: in Chinese rapidly in a knit of people. But whenever
28:27
Speaker 1: I do get to translate for somebody, it's cool. I mean,
28:32
Speaker 1: it took me, living in Central South America for a
28:35
Speaker 1: year in order to translate. But you know what? Worth it.
28:39
Speaker 1: They were both very happy. Oh, and I got to
28:41
Speaker 1: do it again, actually. You know what? There was... I
28:45
Speaker 1: went to the Dollar Tree another day. I think I
28:50
Speaker 1: was picking up a cord or something. I don't know.
28:54
Speaker 1: And there was this couple and they were buying plastic
28:59
Speaker 1: to-go containers or paper to-go containers, something like that. And
29:05
Speaker 1: I saw them buying all these like pieces and I
29:08
Speaker 1: was like, I bet they don't know about like warehouse
29:10
Speaker 1: or depot stores specifically. Restaurant supply stores rock. You can
29:14
Speaker 1: get restaurant supply items for very cheap for the same
29:18
Speaker 1: thing restaurants get them for. And a lot of them
29:20
Speaker 1: you can go there even if you're not a restaurant owner.
29:22
Speaker 1: Some of them are restaurant owners only, but a lot
29:25
Speaker 1: of them have day passes for the public and stuff.
29:28
Speaker 1: So I go to those when I get meat in
29:30
Speaker 1: the U.S. because it's higher quality. You're getting it. like
29:33
Speaker 1: before the restaurants get it, basically, if you buy it
29:36
Speaker 1: directly from the warehouse, from the restaurant supply store. and
29:39
Speaker 1: so I told these people they had some Mexican food
29:43
Speaker 1: truck and they were buying but they were buying 10
29:46
Speaker 1: pieces of the cartons at a time and they just
29:49
Speaker 1: bought 20 of them so they would have a whole
29:51
Speaker 1: bunch of them and I was like yikes because if
29:53
Speaker 1: you buy a huge box of them it's gonna probably
29:56
Speaker 1: be less than 10 bucks and they'll have double the
29:58
Speaker 1: amount they just bought and all these tiny individual packets
30:01
Speaker 1: from Dollar Tree, and I was able to speak a
30:04
Speaker 1: little Spanish and explain that they should go to a
30:06
Speaker 1: restaurant supply store, and I showed them some on Google,
30:09
Speaker 1: and they were very excited about that, because they were
30:11
Speaker 1: spending a bunch buying individual tiny packets of five or
30:16
Speaker 1: ten at all the different Dollar Trees. Okay, Dollar Tree is...
30:22
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you're never gonna get high quality stuff,
30:26
Speaker 1: but there's... every time I go back to a Dollar
30:28
Speaker 1: Tree in the U.S., there's Less useful items, and it's
30:32
Speaker 1: a little more expensive. Now all the Dollar Trees are $ 1. 50.
30:35
Speaker 1: I remember they were $ 1. 25, but that's in keeping with
30:39
Speaker 1: the prices. I mentioned in the last episode, buffets have
30:42
Speaker 1: all gone up 50%. Restaurants in general have. Groceries certainly have.
30:48
Speaker 1: Probably more, though. Groceries are a whole lot right now.
30:52
Speaker 1: And Dollar Tree was $ 1 for a while. Went up
30:54
Speaker 1: to $ 1. 25 a few years ago, and now it's at $ 1. 50.
30:57
Speaker 1: It's going to be $ 2 Dollar Tree soon. And the
31:00
Speaker 1: more complex items are not there anymore. Like you can
31:05
Speaker 1: still get a colander or maybe a metal grate at
31:09
Speaker 1: the dollar store, but like tools. There used to be
31:13
Speaker 1: a bunch of tools for a dollar that weren't the
31:16
Speaker 1: highest quality, but if you just needed to use a
31:18
Speaker 1: tool a couple times, you could easily get it. The
31:20
Speaker 1: tools are obviously less lower quality than they were a
31:25
Speaker 1: few years ago and are often in these $ 5... aisles,
31:31
Speaker 1: which clearly makes it not worth it at all if
31:34
Speaker 1: you're buying a $ 5 Dollar Tree screwdriver. If it's a dollar, sure.
31:38
Speaker 1: If it's a $ 5 Dollar Tree screwdriver, that's not worth it.
31:41
Speaker 1: Just go to Home Depot and get the cheapest screwdriver
31:43
Speaker 1: and it'll last 20, 30 years. But if I was China,
31:47
Speaker 1: I would be shipping the crappiest stuff to Dollar Tree
31:50
Speaker 1: in the U.S. also. It's not like we're playing very
31:54
Speaker 1: nice these days as U.S. the country. So I randomly
32:01
Speaker 1: met a Chinese rep who was selling e-bikes and we
32:04
Speaker 1: got to talking and she showed me the e-bikes her
32:07
Speaker 1: company sells and they were pretty good price. They sounded
32:10
Speaker 1: good enough. And we just talked about China for a
32:13
Speaker 1: while and she was really happy to meet someone who
32:15
Speaker 1: had lived there and could speak a little Chinese and
32:18
Speaker 1: we could commiserate on all the crazy choices that are
32:23
Speaker 1: available in the U.S. for U.S. citizens and how U.S.
32:27
Speaker 1: Americans live. And she was happy to have someone to
32:31
Speaker 1: talk about that with because the world seems crazy in
32:34
Speaker 1: this country if you're from China. Because she sells e-bikes.
32:39
Speaker 1: And she was like, so where do you charge your bike?
32:41
Speaker 1: And I was like, you just got to go, you
32:43
Speaker 1: got to find an outlet somewhere. And she's like, but
32:45
Speaker 1: the companies won't let you charge. So if you're riding
32:49
Speaker 1: around all day, how do you charge? And I was like,
32:51
Speaker 1: you just got to get lucky or you have to
32:52
Speaker 1: go home. And that's crazy to her because in China,
32:56
Speaker 1: every shopping center, every strip mall is every apartment building
33:00
Speaker 1: all have plug-ins like dozens to hundreds of outlets for
33:05
Speaker 1: electric bikes because everybody, if you're riding a bicycle, everybody
33:09
Speaker 1: rides an electric scooter now in China. So there's giant
33:13
Speaker 1: grids of plug-in stables for your bike. You just go up,
33:17
Speaker 1: scan a QR code, plug in, your bike is fully
33:20
Speaker 1: charged after you eat at a restaurant for 20 minutes
33:24
Speaker 1: or whatever, and then you zoom off and you can
33:25
Speaker 1: go about your day. So the fact that you can't
33:28
Speaker 1: just plug in anywhere was very shocking to her coming
33:32
Speaker 1: from China for the first time. She also fairly complained
33:37
Speaker 1: about the Chinese food in the U.S. Like she's very
33:40
Speaker 1: confused at what is called Chinese food here in this country.
33:45
Speaker 1: And there are, I will say, certainly better quality restaurants
33:49
Speaker 1: and worse quality restaurants. But overall in the U.S., they
33:52
Speaker 1: put a ton of sugar, which is not very popular
33:56
Speaker 1: in Chinese food. They don't use a lot of the
33:59
Speaker 1: Chinese spices that are in every Chinese food in China.
34:02
Speaker 1: There's not a ton of cinnamon, not a ton of, well, ma,
34:07
Speaker 1: but that's my thing, spicy. They just use completely different
34:11
Speaker 1: spices and put in a whole bunch of sugar. It's
34:15
Speaker 1: very odd if you've lived in China for a while
34:17
Speaker 1: and then you come back to the U.S. and are
34:19
Speaker 1: eating Chinese food here. Again, yes, you can find good
34:22
Speaker 1: restaurants here. They are very few and far between because
34:26
Speaker 1: the American palate is so sugar dependent and not strong
34:31
Speaker 1: spices dependent. So it was really fun having that conversation.
34:35
Speaker 1: I like talking to travelers all the time anyway, and
34:37
Speaker 1: this was a first time traveler to the US who
34:40
Speaker 1: I had to be like, yeah, no, if you order
34:42
Speaker 1: something here, it's going to take two weeks to get
34:45
Speaker 1: to your house, which is insane if you're from China.
34:48
Speaker 1: Things take one to maybe three days if it's from
34:53
Speaker 1: across the country or something like that. But most things
34:56
Speaker 1: are delivered within the day. They just arrive as soon
34:59
Speaker 1: as you order. So there was a bit of a
35:01
Speaker 1: learning curve for a Chinese rep who was expecting US
35:05
Speaker 1: to be this very advanced country. And then she landed
35:08
Speaker 1: and we don't have electricity. And she's super worried about
35:12
Speaker 1: getting hurt because she looked at the hospitals and she
35:17
Speaker 1: can't believe the prices or the wait times. She can't
35:20
Speaker 1: even figure out where her closest hospital is because Obviously,
35:24
Speaker 1: she doesn't have a general doctor. She does have insurance,
35:27
Speaker 1: but there's something called RED, and it's like Reddit for
35:31
Speaker 1: Chinese people, and they talk to each other, and everyone's
35:33
Speaker 1: just telling her, just don't get hurt, because if you
35:36
Speaker 1: get hurt, you could wait for hours or days to
35:39
Speaker 1: get seen and treated. And if you do, it's going
35:43
Speaker 1: to be a lot, even with your insurance. It's going
35:46
Speaker 1: to cost a lot. So it was fun talking to
35:49
Speaker 1: a Chinese person coming to the U.S. for the first time.
35:52
Speaker 1: I should have got her for an interview, but I
35:54
Speaker 1: don't carry my tiny crappy mic around with me all
35:57
Speaker 1: the time. I gotta get a better lav too, because
36:01
Speaker 1: the mic I have was 20 bucks and it's terrible.
36:05
Speaker 1: So I might try and find a better one. Or
36:07
Speaker 1: I might just keep using the terrible one. That might
36:09
Speaker 1: happen too. I watched this fun movie called something, I
36:13
Speaker 1: can't remember, but Crazy, the song Crazy by Dochi is
36:16
Speaker 1: in it. And it was the first time I heard
36:18
Speaker 1: that song, I think. And it It sparked me creative.
36:23
Speaker 1: It was it was well, not I didn't do anything.
36:25
Speaker 1: I love that song and I listen to it constantly.
36:28
Speaker 1: I listened to it straight for a week, like on repeat.
36:30
Speaker 1: I thought that was a I think it is a
36:33
Speaker 1: great song. Haven't listened to Crazy by Dochi. That is
36:37
Speaker 1: a ton of fun and it's very pump you up
36:41
Speaker 1: and it's a very like energetic song. So when I
36:44
Speaker 1: ride on my bike, it's a really fun song to
36:47
Speaker 1: listen to if I'm going on while or if I'm
36:49
Speaker 1: just like cruising and speeding through on a safe road
36:53
Speaker 1: to speed through on you call me crazy just like
36:57
Speaker 1: pumping the pedals along to doji good stuff you know
37:02
Speaker 1: what I'll end this at the buffet I think so
37:06
Speaker 1: I love buffets and the US still has some good
37:09
Speaker 1: buffets the cheapest ones are getting pretty pricey at this
37:14
Speaker 1: point but there's still some good ones And I went
37:17
Speaker 1: to one here in Denver that I used to go
37:19
Speaker 1: to years ago. King Buffet. They do really good shrimp.
37:25
Speaker 1: They do terrible crab. Don't eat the crab. But the
37:28
Speaker 1: shrimp's great. And they do different kinds of shrimp. And
37:30
Speaker 1: the clams are good. They have a lot of good dishes.
37:33
Speaker 1: Their steak and chicken is both good. They have my
37:35
Speaker 1: favorite gyoza of pretty much anywhere. But this lady stopped
37:40
Speaker 1: me while I was getting my fifth plate of shrimp
37:42
Speaker 1: or whatever. She's like, hey, sorry, you mind if I
37:45
Speaker 1: ask you a question? And I was like, yeah, yeah.
37:47
Speaker 1: What's up? And she was like, I noticed that you like,
37:49
Speaker 1: I don't know, you seem to know what you're doing here.
37:52
Speaker 1: How does it work exactly? And I was like, I'm sorry,
37:56
Speaker 1: I don't. What do you mean? She's like, this is
37:59
Speaker 1: my first time here and I'm with my husband and
38:01
Speaker 1: he's saying like they're charging us by the plate. How
38:04
Speaker 1: many plates we get is how much they charge. And
38:06
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, no, no. This is my fifth
38:10
Speaker 1: plate of shrimp. I'm going to get more. I'm eating
38:12
Speaker 1: tons of food. Uh, they, you pay once when you
38:16
Speaker 1: enter and then there's 90 minutes and you leave when
38:18
Speaker 1: you're done and you, that's all. You just paid that
38:21
Speaker 1: original fee that you paid when you walked in. That's it.
38:25
Speaker 1: She was like, yes, I told him. And I was like, yeah, cool.
38:30
Speaker 1: And then I went over to them after I sat
38:33
Speaker 1: down with my food and then I was like, you
38:34
Speaker 1: know what? And I went over and I told them
38:36
Speaker 1: all my favorite buffet spots in the city. Cause there's
38:38
Speaker 1: a great hot pot buffet nearby that one also. And
38:42
Speaker 1: then there's a good sushi buffet. So I just told
38:45
Speaker 1: them like all this stuff. And when I got back there,
38:47
Speaker 1: they were still discussing. Her husband was like, no, they
38:51
Speaker 1: will charge you per plate. And I was like, hey,
38:54
Speaker 1: they won't, man. I go here all the time. It's
38:56
Speaker 1: you pay when you enter and then you eat as
38:58
Speaker 1: much as you want for 90 minutes. He was pretty
39:00
Speaker 1: happy to find out. She was really excited about the
39:03
Speaker 1: hot pot buffet. I was like, I know it's like
39:06
Speaker 1: seven more dollars than this. And it's all you can
39:08
Speaker 1: eat a hot pot and their seafood. And oh, My gosh,
39:12
Speaker 1: get me started on buffets, please. So that was that
39:16
Speaker 1: was pretty fun talking to I guess. Yeah, I like
39:20
Speaker 1: talking to people looking for answers. I like helping people out.
39:23
Speaker 1: That Chinese rep, I kind of told her what the
39:27
Speaker 1: game plan looked like while she would be in the U.S.
39:30
Speaker 1: And then these new people, new to buffets, I was like,
39:32
Speaker 1: you're going to love this because they said from their
39:35
Speaker 1: city there were no buffets in their city. And I
39:38
Speaker 1: was like, that's tragic. But now you're in a city,
39:43
Speaker 1: Denver is great with buffets. There are great buffets everywhere.
39:46
Speaker 1: The Indian buffets, I got really into my explanation with them. Oh,
39:51
Speaker 1: and then I helped someone else. There was a teenager
39:53
Speaker 1: who looked super lost at this intersection and it was
39:56
Speaker 1: pretty late. It was like 8.39, something like that. And
40:00
Speaker 1: he was like, hey, hey, man, as I was riding
40:01
Speaker 1: by my bike and I stopped and I was like, hey.
40:04
Speaker 1: And he's like, I'm sorry, I am lost right now.
40:07
Speaker 1: I cannot find my friend's house. I keep going up
40:09
Speaker 1: and down the street. And I helped him find his
40:12
Speaker 1: friend's house and then he went to his friend's house.
40:14
Speaker 1: So that was cool. Yeah, it was a real healthy
40:16
Speaker 1: people time. I hope you're having a great day. You
40:22
Speaker 1: can talk to me at bitofarambler at gmail.com or bitofarambler
40:25
Speaker 1: on Lemmy or bitofarambler on Blue Sky. I respond to
40:28
Speaker 1: all of those. I am going to go chill out.
40:33
Speaker 1: I hope you're going to go chill out too. I
40:36
Speaker 1: will talk to you soon. Thank you so much for listening, people.
40:40
Speaker 1: The bit bops on the ticker are going up. There's
40:43
Speaker 1: a few people just listening into these every day going,
40:46
Speaker 1: what the heck is this crazy thing? hippie talking about.
