  Speaker 1: Hello. My name is Kai, and I am a bit
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of a rambler. I like to travel, learn and tell stories,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and today I'm going to ramble on. Oh. I started
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a twitch and I played it a lot. I did
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of streaming hours the first couple times. But
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: even talking like, I missed people who were talking to
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: me in the twitch chat because I just started streaming,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: but I didn't have any chat set up, so I
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: couldn't see if people were talking unless I could check
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: my phone. And I was playing a video game, so
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I wasn't paying a lot of attention to my phone,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: so I missed people talking. So if that was you,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: sorry about that. The game was really good. I was
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: playing the tomb Raider that the original remake twenty thirteen,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, whatever it was, whatever the first remake was,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and it is a great game. And it's such an
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: easy excuse to play video games for hours, and when
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: people log on, I'm like, oh, yeah, see, I'm doing
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: work because I'm getting engagement that I don't need or
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: really care about, because I can't give very good advice
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: while I'm playing the game. So it's tricky to twitch
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: stream for me anyway, because it can't divide my attention
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: that well, but that led me to get a chat overlay.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: So now I've had a few interesting conversations because I
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: have the chat overlay on the screen and it's very unobtrusive.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: But what happened in the real world. In the real world,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I got free steak and egg. I was walking by
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: this restaurant. And I've tried many, many of the restaurants
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: in my neighborhood. I was going to say nearly all,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: but there are so many that can't be true. But
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I've tried many of them. And I walked by one
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: that I haven't tried yet. It's just very unobtrusive and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it didn't really have it. I had like a lot
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of the potato dishes and the stew dishes that I'm
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: not as into. But it did have be steak Alaia
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: with one day steak fried with oil, and I do
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: like that, and I wanted to try their version of it,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and so I stopped in and I asked him and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: he's like, there's only a little left, so I can't
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: give you a lot. And I was like, yeah, that's fine,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: but no rice and no potatoes. And he was like, oh,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: but I only have a little steak, so it's not
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: going to be a lot. I was like, yeah, that's fine.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe just give me a fried egg with it, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: then I'll just have a little steak and egg because
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I already ate some rice and I already ate some
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: potatoes today, so I just don't need any more of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the sides. I just want to try your besteak all oil.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And he was like okay, okay, and he was kind
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of reluctant, but he went into the back told his wife,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: who was the cook, I wanted steak and egg, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I could hear her telling him, is that it? Are
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you sure you didn't want rice? And he had to say,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: like several times, it's really rare. Everybody gets the sides
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: with their stuff here, but I have a few places
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: that I always don't get the rice just because it's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: so much food. I'll you get so many sides here.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: With anything you get, even if it's only a dollar
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: or fifty or whatever, you always get like a bunch
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of salad, a full baked potato, and a huge scoop
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: or two of rice on every single meal at least.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And sometimes you'll get a soup with that or a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: torreja or like, yeah, you get so much food, so
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I usually if I can just get the meats, but
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it confuses the people here so much when I ask
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: for no rice, Like there's one place that I tried
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to get no rice and you just sin aros, no ros,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: no ros, and that sin aros means giving the plate
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: without rice, and I mean I tried to explain that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: so many times. It's like, oh, I've just have too
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: much rice. And at the end of it, I got
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the same amount of rice because she wouldn't not give
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: me any rice. She was like, you need rice with this.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, but I don't want any sides
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: with this at all. I just want the ribs. And
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: she insisted like, no, you need some rice cause it's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: gonna cost the same, so you have to get rice.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, just give me poquito aros.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: No one is citoito and I feel like I got
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: more like So when it's like that, then I I
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: give up after a few times, because you I don't
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: want to give them too much stress. So with some
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: places I'll try and then if they insist that I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: need the sides, then I just take the sides. But
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: they if they let me. Then there's a few places
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: where I know I can go and get the segundo
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: without getting the sides, but it's pretty rare. I've run
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: into the problem of having to get sides multiple times,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Like if I really like a restaurant, then I just
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: have to leave them on the plate because I don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: want more rice and I definitely don't want to baked potato.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Baked potato I can usually people usually don't give it
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to me, but rice is like they're gonna give it
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to me half the time. And then the other one
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: is corn. I just had this today. I tried to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: get my savice without the popcorny baked corn that they give,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: which isn't bad. It just kinda fills me up and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: doesn't I'm not used to the texture maybe, but they
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: always give that with the soup. And today I was like,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: can I get no maise, no maze with my soup
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: this time? And he was like, yeah, sure, and then
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: he gave me the corn, still the maize, but he
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: didn't give me the spicy sauce that I usually like,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: so he just kind of mixed up which thing I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: asked not for. But that is okay, okay, so the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: steak and egg. I just didn't want them to give
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: me rice and potatoes and salad and then not eat
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: any of it. But it was on my plate, so
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: they can't like reserve it. I didn't want to waste
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: their food. So when I was finished, which I was
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: finished quickly, it was a very small piece of steak,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: but it was a very good piece of steak. It
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: was delicious steak fried with oil. I liked it a lot.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I asked the guy how much it was and he
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: was like, I don't worry about it. I was like, oh, no,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it's fine, Like how much was it?
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: It's okay. He's like, now it was a little piece
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of steak and just one egg, don't It's okay, Thank
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you for coming in. Well, we look forward to seeing
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you next time. Something like that. This is all in
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Spanish because nobody. A couple people in this neighborhood speak English,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: like two people, one guy who owns a beer shop,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and I feel like there was another one. But it's
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: pretty rare. And I didn't want to keep arguing about
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: let me pay the three whatever, because in some situations, yeah,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and then in some situations it just doesn't feel right
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: to really push that on your host when they've already
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: decided to be gracious like this. So I just said
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: thank you, and I've been back there a couple times,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: but the problem is nothing else they have made has
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: been very good. All of their other meat dishes have
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: been fine, and they don't make the besteak out of
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: oil very often. They only make it every I don't know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: maybe once every two weeks. I don't think. I don't
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: think I've seen it again actually at that place, but
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I've tried like three other things, and each time I'm like,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that was food. I guess, yes, but not. There are
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: so so many good restaurants here, and the be steak
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: all oil that this restaurant had was so good that
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I don't even bother with restaurants that aren't like nine
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: out of ten basically because I have I can think
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of several nine out of ten restaurants that always have
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a rotating dish that I really like within ten minutes walk.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: So after three swings and a missus, I decided not
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to go back to that place again unless they have
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the be steak all oil, which they still they haven't had,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and I've gone by there like ten times, so I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: appreciate the free steak and egg. I ate there a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: few more times. The beesteak all oil was so good.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I'm bummed that the other stuff isn't as good because
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the guy was nice and we talked a few times.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: He taught me koubierto, the word for fok. Anyway, great steak,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: thanks man, okay. I went back to the Cavice restaurant
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: after I got the steak and egg, and the savice
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: is so good. It's it's the best savice. It's they
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: have a perfect sauce, which is really interesting to me
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: because I thought I have had a perfect savice sauce
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in Panama, but this fits so much better. And someone
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: told me that cavich is from Peru and I had
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: no idea. And they also told me that the cavich
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: is way better in Limo and the coastal cities. But
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: everybody says that if you were in any country, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: especially someone this person is from Lima and they've basically
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: never left Lima. Anyone who's from a city has their
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: favorite whatever, or they're just used to a taste after
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you know, thirty years, so they always are like, ah, yeah,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: the cevich is really good there, but it's much better
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: here because here's where it's from. And that can be
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: true sometimes and it can be not true at least
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: as often. So I'm going to go to Lima. I'm
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: gonna check out these coastal cities and see if the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: food is different down there. Peruvian food fantastic, This savice.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: This has convinced me. They told me cevich is from Peru.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. I looked it up. Looks to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: be true with the evidence we have, it is at
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: least from the Peruvian area more than it is from
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: other countries. And it tastes completely different here than I've
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: ever had it before, I mean savice in the I
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: maybe I haven't had the right cevich or something. In
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the States. Cevice is so boring in the US. It's
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: basically just lime juice and maybe lime juice mixed with
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a couple things. This seems like a reduced fish broth
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: with herbs and lime juice mixed in. But it's so
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: much more flavorful, and it doesn't seem like it would
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: taste correct if the temperature was anything different than that.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Exactly how cold it is when they serve it I'm
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: so blown away by the sauce here. You know what,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I haven't been to another savich restaurant here because the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: one I go to is so good. I'm going to
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: do that tomorrow. I'm going to try a different savice
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: restaurant here in Cusco tomorrow, just because I haven't tried
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: one yet, because the one I get is perfect every time.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I maybe have gotten that cavice more than any other
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: dish in Cusco, except maybe for Malaia frita the be
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: fried ribs. But it might be the cavice because it's
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: perfect and consistent. Actually that's not true, you know what.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I have tried other cavices and they are good, but
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: they're like the street savice. Rather, there's two. There's two kinds.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: There's one that just looks like a soup and they
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: give it to you and it's good. It's actually really good.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: The first time I tried the soup savice, which is
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: still cold, I was like, Man, this is crazy good.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I can't believe the cevice is this good at eleven
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: thousand feet elevation. But then there's a different one that
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: looks fancy and is plated differently, and the fish is
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: cut differently, and the sauce is different, and that is
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the perfect savice, which actually I'll say is the perfectly
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: sauced cevice. Like the fish isn't always ten out of ten,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: but I mean it's never been below like eight, and
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the sauce for me is ten out of ten. They
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: give a little shot glass on the plate next to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the pile of sevice with the Cevich sauce inside, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I will every time I get Cevice, I'll sip and
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: drink that shod glass of Cevice sauce after I finish
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the fish, just because the sauce is so tasty. So
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: this second time I got Cevice, it was as good
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: as the first time. Sauce is just perfect. I'll try
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a different restaurant tomorrow. I will do that. Wow, the chilcano,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: which is this hot fish soup they give you with savice,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and then that sauce is so good at this restaurant.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I haven't even been very interested in trying it at
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: a different restaurant, But I have to do that for
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: detective works sake, for Justice's sake, for fairness. Okay, I'm
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: gonna do it. Even the fish is prepared perfectly by
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: this one guy, and then the times that it's like
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: eight out of ten instead of nine or ten, it's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a different guy who prepares it. But this one guy
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: who is the guy I get most of the time
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: when I go get that savice, he cuts the fish
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: perfectly and it changes the flavor. Okay, no roast duck yet.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I went to this like fancier restaurant where I got
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the cheery U chew and all these traditional places, and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: they have roast duck listed as on Sundays. A lot
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of them only have dishes. A lot of restaurants in
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Cusco only have dishes on certain days. And this one
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: has had roast duck listed for the past like four, five,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: six week and every week I go there and they
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: don't have the duck any week, but they always tell
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: me they'll have it the next week. So I didn't
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: get the roast duck the second or third week, but
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: they told me they'll have it the next week, so
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I'll try it again. I got caught in the rain
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: on the way back from the supermarket buying some ribs,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and that was very satisfying. I really liked getting caught
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: in the rain because it's a pretty dusty road that
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I'm on specifically, and sort of a dusty city because
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: it's so dry up here, but not as dusty as
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: other cities, and maybe it's just the pollution. It still
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: feels like really clean error out here, even though it
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: definitely is dusty in Cusco. But it was really nice
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to get caught in the rain. I don't think I've
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: got caught in the rain since I got to Cusco.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I've just kind of avoided it every time. And then
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I walked back in the rain for twenty minutes and
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: all the Cousco locals were huddling under the pavilions everywhere,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: but I was just reveling in the clean water and
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: it was very nice. It kind of tied up all
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: my experiences in Cusco and I really got into it,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, climbing mountains, there's rainfall here,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: my apartment's nice, there's good food everywhere. Everything just kind
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: of clicked for me when I was caught in the rain,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, yeah, I like, there are
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: all these things I like about the city, but the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: street I'm on is busier than I usually like, so
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I hadn't like fully clicked. I liked Cusco a lot,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: but it didn't all come together. And then when it
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: started raining, I was like, oh man, and it rains
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: like this occasionally, and I was like, this is this
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: is good. This is a place I can comfortably live
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: for a while, because I hadn't extended my stay yet
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: at that point, and then I did shortly thereafter after
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I was caught in the rain. And then whenever it rains,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I like walking the rain now, and I'm like, yeah,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: this is so great, this is I love walking in
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the rain. I love rain in general, and Cusco has
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: way more rain than I thought for such a dry place.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: It rained like daily for a week. It's been raining
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: at least every other day ever since that first rain.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if I didn't notice it before
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: that or what, but yeah, I'm very glad it rains
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: and Cusco because it makes everything comfortable and it cleans everything.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: If if Cousco was always dusty, it would be a
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: problem living here for a while. But if it rains
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: like this, if they have a rainy season like this,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I could live here the entire rainy season super easily.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Go climbing mountains like all there's so many mountains and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: lakes to visit and then it rained. Rain like resets
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: everything for me. But if it if it's a it's
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: just damp, if it's like Seattle, I don't want just
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: a damp place. It's not that's not super fun for me.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But I definitely like a place where things are pretty dry.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: You can go hike mountains whenever you want, and then
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: there might be a crazy rain storm for a couple
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: hours and then it dries up and it's out of here.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: It's a very interesting climate, being so high up so
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: dry and then having long like prolonged rain fairly off
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and intermittently. It's very close to my perfect climate. Like
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I think I would just want Cusco and everything a
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: little more green. Things are pretty green here, like they're
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: greener than Colorado. But I still want a super idiosyncratic
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: micro climate that must exist in some pockets somewhere. But
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: this is really close because there are lakes everywhere, there
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: are glacier mountains everywhere, and it rains, but it's super
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: super dry, so you can just hang out your clothes
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: to dry indoors and they'll dry in a couple hours.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: It's but it doesn't feel like my skin doesn't feel
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: dry or scratchy or anything. It's just like I said,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: it's just that perfect little climate. It's so close. Now.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: All I want is an esthetic change if things were
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: like really forty percent more green, because there is a
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: lot of green on some mountains, but they're not all
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: that green. Okay, anyway, shut up, move on. I love
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: getting caught in the rain here. I went on my
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: first jog. That was really interesting because I've been going
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: on lots of hikes and I walk a lot here
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: in a lot of different directions, but I haven't jogged yet.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: And I'm not sure why that is. I judged so
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: much in Columbia. I think it's maybe it's just the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: altitude or actually, you know it, it's probably just there's
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: not super close jogging tracks and there's so many mountains
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: here that there's not like a flat area for jogging available.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: So I just wasn't clicking like I can jog. But
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: there are dudes who jog. There's this on this main
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: like dusty road that I live on, there's actually a
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: running and walking track that's a how long, easily a
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: mile long, maybe a mile and a half. It's a
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: pretty long track. I'm gonna check the place next to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: me is about two miles, but it goes all the
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: way up into the city, so it's like a five
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: mile track in between two lanes for traffic, but it's
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: wider than those two lanes. It's a huge walk, very wide,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: comfortably wide walking running bicycling track that goes all the
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: way down the main street. And I see people early
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: in the mornings. When I finished recording jogging on that,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and I was like, why I should do that. One
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: day I just realized, oh, well, I can do that.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: It's not so dusty in the morning. There are very
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: few cars, so it's a comfortable jog. That's probably why
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you see people jogging in the morning all the time.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: And I went on my first job, and I was
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: kind of worried because the altitude is extreme here and
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: it's in the area where it makes running difficult for
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: most people according to articles and blogs. But I have
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: had zero problems with elevation sickness the entire time I've
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: been here two and a half months. And I jogged
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: probably around the one and a half month mark something
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: like that sometime last month, and it was again no problem.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I jogged downhill actually to start. Maybe that was why
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: It was easy because my body was getting used to it,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: but I didn't have much shortness of breath. I listened
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: to Foxy Shazam and I even sang along with the lyrics,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: so I had plenty of breath going down and coming
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: back up, and I didn't go crazy. It was like
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: a twenty twenty five minute jog or something, just down
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: to this place I know, and then back up the hill.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: But even jogging up the hill for ten minutes, I
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: wasn't really out of breath. So I don't know if
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: all the hiking has helped my endurance or it's just
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: living here has helped my body metabolize oxygen better. I'm
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: not sure, but I was fine jogging. I still haven't
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: had any elevation sickness problems at all, and it felt
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: really good to jog again because it has been a while.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: But I've only jogged one more time, although I've been
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: on a lot more hikes. Definitely went out of breath
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: on a recent hike, those like five kilometers uphill you
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: know what, I jogged. I jogged on another hike and
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: that was fine, although I was jogging up a mountain
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: for an extended period, so I get out of breath.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Then I don't know, jogging is fine for me up here.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I feel like, as long as you're healthy, you'll be okay,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: because I mean, there are children, There are children and
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: old people here who walk around in this all day
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: carrying burdens on their back, because the all the old
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: grandmas carry around the sandwich. They carry around like big
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: packs on their back all day in eleven thousand feet elevation,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and they're all fine. So I think if you just
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: get used to it, you'll be okay too, And you
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: should definitely come here. This city rocks you like if
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: you like beautiful nature, archaeological ruins, amazing food, and then
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: chill people. This Cusco Cusco's a spot, folks. I decided
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: to start looking for a new hat, one of those
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: half brimmed hats with the neck shade that falls down
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the back of it. They look pretty comfortable, they look
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: like weight, like wake, they look like weight. They look lightweight,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and so I'll be able to carry them easier, pack
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: them down easier. So I decided to get a Peru hat,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and I looked in a whole bunch of different places
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: before I found one, and then at the closest market
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: there was just the exact one I was looking for,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: and I ended up getting it because I burned myself
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: going on a super cool hike at like fifteen thousand
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: feet or something, and I'll talk about that later, but
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I ended up staying out eight hours and kind of
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: burn my nose because my hat, the one I have now,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: just wasn't long enough. And it's been a problem ever
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: since I got that hat. If it's fine, it's comfortable
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: to pack around, but it never quite covers as much
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: of my face as I want. And if I'm going
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: to go on hikes, especially here, I just need a
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: better hat. And so I got a better hat from
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: this old lady, and it works better, but the back
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: of it when it rains, waterfalls down the back. I
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: wanted the half burn so that it would be smaller
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: to pack down. But I love walking in the rain
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: and I like hiking and rain storms, so it just
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: makes sense to get a full brim hat. So I
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: decided to look around and get a different Peru hat.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I've been using a lot of thread because I've been
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: making a bunch of stuff lately, and the same lady
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that sold me the hat had really cheap spools of thread.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: But then I found out there was a lady like
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: close by to her, a few shops down, a sasa,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: a sasterai Riya, a seamstress, and she gave me a
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: giant spool of thread for one soul, which I don't know,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: probably five times as cheap as the original the other lady,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: or maybe it was just because it was a bigger thing,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: but I got a huge pool of black thread for
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: one soul. All I had to do was trade my soul.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Haven't made that joke yet, one Prouvi and soul is
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: only about twenty five cents, thirty cents something like, not
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: even thirty cents. And it's because I've been fixing up hats.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I've been fixing up the rucksack, I've been fixing up
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: my day bag. I used a bunch of thread recently,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: oh stuff sack. I had to make a new stuff sack,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: so I've been using tons of threads. So it was
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: a huge score to find this really cheap giant spool
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: of thread. I was very excited about that. This was crazy.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I was walking back from Savice, I believe it was
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: one day, and there was a guy lying passed out
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: or dead in the middle of the road. I don't
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: know if he was hit by a car or what
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: was going on one car. It wasn't a huge road,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: so the car couldn't really drive around him. They were
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: just trying to honk to get him to get up,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: but he was out and it was a pretty straight road,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: so I could see him from a couple minutes or
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: a minute up the road, and I passed by, and
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: then I could still see him a minute down the
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: road or two, and he he never moved, and there
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: was a lady out of the shop looking at him,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: and someone opened the window from the building and called down,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: and the lady on the street called back up and
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: like explained the situation, and they said they already called
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: the police. So I was like, well, I guess I
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: don't have to call the police. But I don't know
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: what had happened. There was a grown adult man lying
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: motionless in the middle of the road. It was weird.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: He didn't have that dead feeling, and all the people
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: around didn't seem to think he was dead, so I
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: don't think he was dead, but he didn't look very alive,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and he was gone. The next time I walked down
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: that road, which was the next day, so he wasn't
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: going to be there forever. But he was right in
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the middle of it, blocking the whole road, and he
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: wasn't bleeding, he didn't look like he had gotten hit
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: by a car or violently died or anything, and no
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: dogs were tearing at him, which I just realized is
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: kind of weird. Well, it was the daytime. The dogs
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: aren't very aggressive in the daytime, but they're pretty barky
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and bidy in the nighttime. And that is close to
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the main road also, yeah, which they're less aggressive during
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: in the main roads. The dogs further out in the
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: rural areas are more aggressive. Some weird Android update happened,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and I guess it doesn't affect everybody, but there's a
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: bunch of people online that it had. There's some significant
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: minority that it's happened to, and I'm included. Since Android
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: sometime last year upgraded, alarms now only play through your
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: headphone speakers if your Bluetooth is connected. If your Bluetooth
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: is connected, it used to play through your phone and
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: your Bluetooth, And sometime while I was in Panama there
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: were some Android update and they've never fixed it, and now,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: if your Bluetooth is connected and you have an alarm set,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: it only plays through your Bluetooth headphone speakers. It won't
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: play through your phone also, and many people still don't
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: use Bluetooth headphone speakers, so it might be all Bluetooth users,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: but there are plenty of Bluetooth users complaining online that
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the alarm doesn't play anymore. So if you leave your
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Bluetooth hooked up to your phone, you won't hear your alarm.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: And I've had that problem. Actually didn't wake up a
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: couple times to my alarm because my Bluetooth headphones were
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: still connected, which was never a problem before, and now
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Android has made it a problem, which is kind of
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: a pain, not just for me, for a lot of people.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: This is a pretty common complaint online apparently, and they
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: just haven't fixed it for a year. But I turned
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: my vibration back on, so it buzzes now when the
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: alarm goes off, So even if it doesn't go off
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: through my phone, I still get the buzzing is enough
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: with this motorola. The buzzing is per picked on my motorola.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I should talk about that real quick, because now it's
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: been six months at least since I got my new
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Motorola phone, and it's still it's still multiple times better, incalculably. Really,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: it's so much better than the Pixel I had. I
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: can't believe I had the pixel for so long. I
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: had so many problems with that Pixel phone. There were
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: so many functionality problems with Pixel phones that are acknowledged
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: by Pixel and they just haven't fixed any of them.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: And this Motorola, which costs literally less than twenty five
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: percent of the Pixel six. When I came out that
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: was six hundred and fifty bucks. This thing was one
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five twenty percent of that price, and
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: it performs so much better than the Pixel six. It's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: so much easier to control. The Pixel environment is so
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: locked down compared to the Motorola. It's I'm so so
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: happy with the Motorola. It's still working great. It's fantastic.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: If you're frustrated by all these like a thousand tiny
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: little things like the now playing history not working on
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Google or the hardware, which is also a problem. Sometimes
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the hardware is unlatched inside your Pixel phone like mine,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: and it just rattles around inside. It doesn't break. It
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: still functions, but it's weird to have the phone rattling
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: around inside the case. The Bluetooth, Oh, hotspots aren't You
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: can't see which devices are connected to your hotspot on
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Pixel phones. That's been a problem for years. There's so
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: many problems with the Pixel phones. So if you're frustrated
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: by a couple features and there's actually you know, there's
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of features that don't work on the Pixel
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: and they refuse to fix them, I would highly suggest
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: checking out these Motorola phones. I can't I can not
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: believe how much better my G fifty four is relative
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: to something that cost me five times as much and
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: is so popular, Like the Apple alternative is a Pixel
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: and that's why I got the Pixel And right off
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the bat, I was like, wow, this battery kind of sucks.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: The charging sucks on pixels my Motorola, which is it's
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: really weird. The Motorola is rated super low charging. It
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: says it's like a ten, twelve or fifteen watt charging,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: but it absolutely empirically charges faster than my Pixel six
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: ever did, and the battery doesn't get hot. The battery
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: on the Pixel six got so hot when it charged,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: even after the battery optimization that everyone says to wait
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: for Motorola one time, it charged slowly, update all the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: firmware charges faster than my Pixel six. Everything about the
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: phone is better then the Pixel, which costs five times
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: as much. It's that's bonkers. That should not anyway. I'm
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: so glad to be rid of my Pixel, and I'm
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: so happy that I have this new phone. Oh that's
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: the that's the biggest thing. I'm taking so many videos
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: because there's so many amazing things here, glaciers and amazing
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: lakes and mountains and just so many things to document
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: here in Cusco. And the frickin' Pixel has non expandable
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: storage one hundred and twenty eight gigabytes of internal storage,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: maybe two fifty six the highest is five twelve. But
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: it costs like fifteen hundred dollars. It's crazy how expensive
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: it is this phone expandable storage. I have five hundred
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: twelve gigabytes of storage. It costs me like forty bucks
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: extra to get that. If that might have been even
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: cheaper than that for the two hundred and fifty six extension,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: and it came with two fifty six gigabytes, so I
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: have hundreds. I have so much capacity it's so good
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: to be back to a high capacity phone. That frustrated me,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: maybe more than anything else on the Pixel that I
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: could never that it took up like a quarter of
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the storage just with its crappy operating system and pixel crap,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: and then I had to constantly manage the space because
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I like taking as high definition video as possible. Don't
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: have to worry about that at all. I can take
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: hundreds of videos and it'll just hold all of them
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and then I can dump them on the computer and
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: YouTube later. But high capacity storage insane. That Pixel doesn't
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: have expandable storage. That is a such a oh, it's
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: a pathetic phone. At least the Pixel six. Maybe they
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: upgraded the I doubt it because I hear the exact
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: same complaints from Pixel nine users that they don't have
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: expandable storage and that the battery is too hot, the
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: exact same stuff I suffered from. Just go get a Motorola.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: They're better phones, they have higher capacity, they have five G,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: they have everything, every single feature the Pixels have. They
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: have all those things and they cost twenty percent of
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: the crappy Pixels. Okay, so f pixels cool. Motorola's working
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: for me anyway, my G fifty four. Not all motorolas
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: have everything, but if you just look what they offer
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: the G series, especially the fifty four five G expandable storage,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: high capacity, initial storage, good Bram, it just has. Yeah,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: it has all that stuff. And you know what last
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: week is really weird. The alarm did start playing through
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: the phone speaker as well, after I've now switched to
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: vibration also, so I don't know, it's been like how long,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: at least close to a year that it hasn't Then
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: it just started working without a software update. I don't know.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with that, but I
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: know it does affect some people and not others. So
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: maybe my motorola got TI heart of not playing the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: alarm like I ask it to. Tomb Raider. The tomb
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Raider game is so much fun. The first game was
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: so much fun. I've started on the second. I've been
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: doing a bunch of stuff, so I haven't finished the
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: second game, but I love that first tomb Raider game.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I loved the movie with Alyssia vi Candor. She was
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: definitely a better tomb Raider than Angelina and Joe Lee.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Her story was better also, I feel like when Angelina
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and Joelee was tomb Raider, they were just like boobs
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: on a girl with rocks, Like there are rocks falling,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: but this girl has boobs, and that was the whole movie,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: or all of her movies that she was in. And
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: then Alyssa v. Candor feels like just it's an action
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: adventure movie with a badass tomb Raider. Loved that movie.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Played the first tomb Raider game, the re Make, and
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: it was great. I had a ton of fun playing that.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: I'm having fun playing the second one too. They added
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: so much more stuff to collect in the second one,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: and I was still in the first game mode that
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I got fed up with it, and then I was like, wait,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: this is exactly what I wanted in the first game.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I wanted way more stuff to collect. Because I got.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: I pretty much one hundred percented that first tom Raider
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: New game because I just was having so much fun
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: in the world. And then in this one, I was
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: collecting all this stuff and I was like, oh, get
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: over it. But then I remember it. I was like, no,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I like hanging out in this world. So now I'm
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: having fun collecting everything and I'll get back to the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: second game. I've probably only in the first couple chapters
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: or whatever of it. There are just so many mountains
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: to climb here, and I really had to go see
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: the glaciers, and there's lakes and so many cool things
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: to see in Cusco. That Tom rating in the video
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: game is fun, but I mean exploring some of the
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: places nearby Cusco and pretty easily accessible, amazing, unforgettable, indescribable,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: more fun than a video game. Speaking of video games,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: this movie felt like a video game. I rewatched Predator
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: the first one, and I rewatched it for the movie
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: podcast Oh from Griffin and blank Check. They were going
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: over it, and I remember liking Predator, so I wanted
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: to watch it again. And Predator is a very fun movie.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: It was very it was great to watch again. It
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: was super fun. That's all there is to say about that.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: That is a super fun movie. That is better than
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of movies of action movies these days,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: and probably all action movies. That's just a super fun movie.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: And it's so cool, and yeah, the Predator invisible effect
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: is done really well. It's just amazing. And I didn't
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: realize that the guy who played the predator was the
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: helicopter pilot that you see in this brief shot, which
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: is pretty cool, super fun movie. Oh, I shaved the
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: skin off the tip of my finger without drying any blood.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I've been doing a lot of golgopa, mincing up vegetables,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: making a little sauce salad and then eating with potato chips.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: They use different fried dosephares. But I was mincing up
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: all these vegetables and I haven't cut myself in a
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: long long time preparing food. And I still didn't quite
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: cut myself. But I shaved off like a quarter of
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: an inch of skin off the tip of the side
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: of the tip of my finger and just cleanly cut off.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: But it must have it was only the very top
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: because there was no blood. There was no there's nothing.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I just sliced off the very top layer of this
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: and I was surprised, and I didn't raw anie blood
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: and it didn't hurt because I didn't. I didn't actually
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: cut myself. I just shaved the skin off. It was
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: really weird, and it's healed by now because it was
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: just one layer. But that was bizarre, and I wasn't
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: paying attention, and now I pay even closer attention because
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I don't want to cut myself. But that was bizarre.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: I watched The People's Joker, which was really good and
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: super weird and very in jokey with the LA comedy
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: scene and SNL and all that stuff. So I did
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I missed like half of the jokes, but
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: it was good to watch anyway. It's about this well,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: it's made by this trans woman and it's kind of
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: her journey of self discovery, biography life. In the early scene,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: there's just a whole bunch of stuff that I have
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: no reference for at all, and that's always interesting for
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: me to watch to learn new things. And there were
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: even funny parts. It was really interesting. I'd really like
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: to see whatever else she's made, because there was such
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: a cohesive story, even though it was such an amateurish
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: indie film, Like it felt very much like a first
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: time indie film, and there was pretty much no budget,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: but she was able to do so much with the
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: resources she had. Oh and there were really interesting parts
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: where she was like break the fourth wall in the
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: movie and be like, by the way, this is a
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: toxic relationship. This is not an example of a healthy relationship,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: because the way her talk toxic girlfriend boyfriend. I can't remember.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: I think it was trans man. I don't I'm not
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: in that world. It's difficult for me to remember a
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: week later, but they were trans coupled together and her
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: boyfriend was toxic toward her. But it's a funny movie,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: and she reacts as if the toxic things her boyfriend
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: is saying are funny. But she breaks the fourth wall
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: to be like, and just remember, I'm laughing, but this
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: is a bad situation. And then they would go back
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: to the movie, which was really helpful because the movie
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: moves so fast and she is laughing at the toxic
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: things that are happening, and it's a fun movie in general,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: very like bright and wacky that you might that I
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: might mistakenly be like, oh, she's saying this is a
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: good thing. But she breaks the fourth wall like a
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: couple times just to be like, and this is bad explicitly,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: just so you are on the same page, which is
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: I really appreciated, because I think the first time she
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: does it, her boyfriend did something toxic and then she
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: like reacted positively, and I was like, Oh, that's kind
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: of weird. And then like a second after that she
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: was like, by the way, this is not an example
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: of a healthy relationship. This is toxic, and then went
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: back to the movie and I was like, okay, good, okay,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: So that wasn't like a mess up. She's deliberately doing this,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: very deliberate movie. Very interesting. Vera Drew, I believe, is
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: the name of the woman who made it, and I
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: want to see her other stuff called The People's Joker. Okay,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to finish on this because this was fascinating
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: when I found out about it. LNT linear non threshold
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: theory of radiation. So all the scientists, all radiation scientists,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: have been writing a bunch of papers because linear non
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: threshold means that any radiation you get is cumulative throughout
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: your life, and if you get too much then and
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: you're going to hit the threshold eventually and get radiation poisoning.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: There's zero evidence for that scientifically, and there's a ton
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: of evidence that as long as you don't get an
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: acute dose above a certain threshold, your body will repair
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: radiation damage. This is the first I've ever heard of it.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: My whole life. All I've heard about is the linear
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: non threshold that radiation is cumulative, apparently no evidence for that,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: And finally, a whole bunch of radiation scientists have had
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: enough of that completely false theory with no supporting evidence
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: and plenty of counter evidence that they're writing a whole
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: bunch of papers and editorials trying to let people know
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: that we can heal from radiation. Like I'm in Cusco
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: right now, and if the linear non threshold theory was real,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: then I would be in trouble because I'm getting way
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: more radiation than someone at sea level. But people have
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: been living in Cusco forou of years and they're fine,
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: they're healthy. And that's really interesting to me because even
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: as a kid, when I heard that radiation was cumulative,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: I read about radiation patience and radiation people who got
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: radiation doses and then didn't die, and I was like,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: that doesn't make any sense. But there's basically no textbook
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: counter theory two linear or non threshold. Every single textbook
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: is like, yep, cumulative, if you get radiation, it'll just
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: stay in your body and then when you get enough,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: you get poisoning. That's not true empirically, but I never
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: heard of any other theory, so it's just kind of
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: been this confusing thing that couldn't reconcile itself in my mind.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: And now I know why, because that theory is invalid,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: and all the radiation scientists who know anything about radiation
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: are saying, yeah, no, it's not a linear or non threshold.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: You clearly have a threshold for radiation because some people
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: live in higher radiation places like here in Cusco, compared
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: to on the shore somewhere eleven thousand feet lowered. Also,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: some people fly on airplanes at thirty thousand feet all
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: the time, me other people, and there's they don't get
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: cancer more, they don't get radiation poisoning more, but they
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: should according to the official linear, non threshold cumulative theory
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: of radiation. So there's just no evidence for it. And
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: there's plenty of counter evidence that radiation can be repaired
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: by the body. So that's great for me to find
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: out because I travel on airplanes all the time and
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I live in high elevation places, and it's something I
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: never could understand before, and now I understand a lot more.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Why would that damage be the only damage our bodies
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: can't repair. That doesn't make any sense considering there's radiation
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: everywhere too. On the planet. Why wouldn't your body be
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: able to repair some radiation damage up to a certain threshold.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: And all these scientists are now saying in mass on mass, yes,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: the cumulative theory is incorrect by all the evidence we have,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: So go ahead, flying planes travel to high elevation places.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Radiation shouldn't be that bad, especially if people have been
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: living in that place for thousands of years. The linear,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: non threshold cumulative theory of radiation is incorrect according to
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: all of the evidence we have and have had forever.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: It was just safer to the people making the guidelines
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: to say zero absolutely zero radiation, which like Fukushima happened nobody.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: When Fukushima happened, the nuclear reactor meltdown and a bunch
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: of radiation got out, I was like, oh, dang, that's
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: gonna kill a bunch of people because it's cumulative and
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: they can't escape in time. Because that happened, so suddenly
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: nobody died from radiation exposure in Fukushima. And when I
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: read that, I was like how. And I didn't understand how,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: because according to everything I've ever read about cumulative radiation,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: many people should have died, none did, and it didn't
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: make any sense. And now it makes sense because yes,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: they did get infected by radiation. No, it didn't reach
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: the threshold the necessary to cause acute radiation poisoning, and
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: so they didn't continue to get worse. Their bodies prepared
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: the damage. And you probably heard about Fukushima, and you
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: probably heard this is the worst disaster since Chernobyl. It's
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: been forty years, there's been no this is so much
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: radiation that got out, that's all true. It was the
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: worst radiation leak disaster in almost half a century. No
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: deaths happened from radiation poisoning, flooding, Yeah, property damage and
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, but there were no radiation deaths.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: And I was so confused about that ever since it
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: happened what ten years ago now, who knows. Uh, I'm
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: sure I could look it up, but I'm not going to.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: And now I know why, because all of the radiation
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: scientists are saying, yeah, our bodies don't cumulatively gather and
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: preserve radiation until the end. They deal with it like
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: they deal with all other foreign bodies in our personages.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: That's honestly quite a load off my mind to find
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: out that radiation is not cumulative under a certain threshold.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: So I just thought I would share that because I
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: found that very comforting, and I hope you do, too,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: understand the world a little better as I now do.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: If you want to talk to me, talk to me
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: a bit of a rambler at gmail dot com, or
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: let me in blue Sky. It is great to make
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: these casts, and I hope you're having a great Thank
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: you so much for listening, and I will talk to
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: you soon.
