1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:26,780
all right everybody welcome back to another episode of the space tomatoes podcast with

2
00:00:26,780 --> 00:00:34,840
your favorite hosts on the internet you know you love us so here we are it's this guy and that guy

3
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:44,040
right i'm that guy i'm this guy this guy hi nice to see you welcome back or for the first time

4
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:49,620
whatever it's been a while since we've done one of these man we've been on a whirlwind trip

5
00:00:49,620 --> 00:00:59,140
of uh podcast guesting uh which has been really awesome i think anyway indeed lots of different

6
00:00:59,140 --> 00:01:06,680
people from all kinds of different careers or whatever you want to call it walks of life field

7
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,980
fields of expertise walks of life that's even better fields of expertise yes right right so

8
00:01:12,980 --> 00:01:20,280
So we kind of kicked this off with Andrew Lewin, a marine biologist, and that was a pretty cool show.

9
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:32,320
And then that day, I think we did three, three sessions, which it doesn't sound like a lot if you don't do this.

10
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:42,860
It's it's a lot. Right. Doing three recording sessions in a single day, each of them being an hour plus is it's taxing.

11
00:01:42,980 --> 00:01:45,240
It seems like, oh, you're just talking.

12
00:01:45,380 --> 00:01:45,840
It's fine.

13
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,700
It's taxing.

14
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,560
It wasn't that bad.

15
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,520
Probably the after stuff is a lot harder than just doing it.

16
00:01:56,740 --> 00:01:58,640
I feel bad for that, yeah.

17
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,560
Yeah, that guy.

18
00:02:01,340 --> 00:02:02,580
That guy.

19
00:02:02,940 --> 00:02:05,560
Yeah, that editor guy in that back room.

20
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,780
He never gets a break.

21
00:02:07,660 --> 00:02:08,180
Right.

22
00:02:08,180 --> 00:02:09,580
He never gets a raise.

23
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,960
You just flog him.

24
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,860
He never gets any consideration at all.

25
00:02:12,980 --> 00:02:20,780
oh we got another sub so that's cool nice yeah yeah that's always good news thanks for that i

26
00:02:20,780 --> 00:02:26,960
appreciate that thank you yeah whoever you are thank you we appreciate you more than we could

27
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,700
say yeah it's really awesome having you here and we hope you enjoy the show we hope you

28
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:37,560
tune into maybe some of their past episodes but don't go too far back it's really bad

29
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:48,700
it's fun it's funny but it's it's just it's not it's not as good so but hey another sub we're

30
00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:57,780
cranking out guest interviews this is fun um you know we we i will say this though um you know

31
00:02:57,780 --> 00:03:04,700
we're interested in in viewing you know talking to a lot of you know people right i think we're

32
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:11,720
pretty much open to talking to most people as long as it isn't like some shock jock like let me rile

33
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:19,140
i don't want the rage bait crud right um that being said we may end up with some of that

34
00:03:19,140 --> 00:03:27,380
maybe we will do i think we will do our very level best to keep things uh in a in a neutral

35
00:03:29,380 --> 00:03:34,660
area right is that it's a good way of saying that i think i would hope so certainly

36
00:03:34,660 --> 00:03:53,600
Yeah, yeah. Passive, neutral kind of a style and hear what people have to say. We will offer counters. We'll ask questions. We'll try and dive deep. And if we can, we'll find people in the instances where we do have people come on the show like this.

37
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,700
we will try and find people that have a counter to whatever is going on.

38
00:03:58,700 --> 00:03:59,000
Right.

39
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,500
Not to have a debate,

40
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:08,120
but rather to show that there are varying opinions on things,

41
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,660
varying ideas and data comes from all sorts of sources.

42
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:13,680
So,

43
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,200
you know,

44
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:15,480
Hey,

45
00:04:15,740 --> 00:04:16,820
if you don't like it,

46
00:04:16,900 --> 00:04:18,620
just don't tune in for the episode.

47
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:20,080
You know,

48
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,060
if you do like it,

49
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:22,580
great.

50
00:04:22,580 --> 00:04:30,300
and if we've always said this right every single episode if you have ideas we have guests you like

51
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:38,280
to see on the show give us give us a comment throw it in there we'll see what we can do i i you know

52
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:43,520
can't promise we can work miracles right but we will try i mean the worst thing they could say is

53
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:51,980
no so that's true no i i i totally agree with you everybody's allowed to their own opinion

54
00:04:51,980 --> 00:05:00,840
yeah yeah and exploring ideas is is interesting i think it's fun it's it's pretty cool oh and then

55
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:08,020
also like our our most recent upload right great guy uh the author of the it dictionary

56
00:05:08,020 --> 00:05:18,220
his nom de plume or pen name is uh adam corga great guy interesting person to talk to um you

57
00:05:18,220 --> 00:05:23,800
know we're gonna have people on here that english may not be their primary language and if that's

58
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,920
difficult for you to listen to again you know hey skip that episode give it a shot i think it's

59
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:36,820
interesting he was pretty pretty funny he is pretty funny yep we get we have uh we have a

60
00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:41,600
whole schedule of different people so if you didn't like whoever the current one is or the last one you

61
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,200
you might like the next one because they're all pretty different.

62
00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:50,360
I don't know what boxes you checked in and looking for people,

63
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,980
but I think you might've checked them all pretty much.

64
00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:54,500
Okay.

65
00:05:54,740 --> 00:05:55,260
Yeah.

66
00:05:55,740 --> 00:05:56,220
Yeah.

67
00:05:56,820 --> 00:05:57,340
Again,

68
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,600
it's about interesting ideas.

69
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,260
It's about,

70
00:06:01,260 --> 00:06:02,000
you know,

71
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,080
interesting people,

72
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,000
things of that nature.

73
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:05,620
I just,

74
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:06,160
you know,

75
00:06:06,220 --> 00:06:06,400
Hey,

76
00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:09,520
I'm open to a free and open exchange of ideas.

77
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,340
That's what it comes down to.

78
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:23,020
If it's just not right for the show, then that's something, you know, LX and I, we talk back and forth and we've had, you know, we've had these discussions.

79
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,140
So, you know.

80
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,580
No, we've had the discussions.

81
00:06:30,180 --> 00:06:33,580
So anyway, I think we're good for that.

82
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:37,520
I mean, I think the audience is understanding on those kind of subjects.

83
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:39,520
I think so.

84
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:39,940
Yeah.

85
00:06:40,060 --> 00:06:40,640
I think so.

86
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,360
Then you have just the ones with you and I, which how can you go wrong with that?

87
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,320
Because our lives are so interesting and all that stuff.

88
00:06:50,660 --> 00:06:53,940
Maybe to someone, I guess.

89
00:06:54,340 --> 00:06:57,300
It seems like regular day stuff to me.

90
00:06:57,620 --> 00:06:58,020
Pretty much.

91
00:06:58,180 --> 00:07:01,140
But hey, you know, we enjoy it.

92
00:07:01,220 --> 00:07:02,380
We do what we like.

93
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:03,800
We have fun.

94
00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:05,660
And isn't that the key to life?

95
00:07:05,860 --> 00:07:06,900
Like a happy life?

96
00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:08,480
Just have some fun.

97
00:07:09,060 --> 00:07:09,700
You know?

98
00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:15,100
so you and i were talking about the other day uh you sent me some pictures of your pool with the

99
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:23,700
iceberg floating in it contemplating taking the taking the plunge man that would be i mean it was

100
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:31,780
you know it's iced over right so not not completely right um well at one point it was all all but

101
00:07:31,780 --> 00:07:40,900
except and it's a it's an above ground pool um and it's a 30 foot round above this is a big pool

102
00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:46,940
and there was all but like a tiny little sliver that was not that was iced

103
00:07:46,940 --> 00:07:55,040
what i showed you was what two days later and there's still a a nice float out there about

104
00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:01,920
you know probably about the size of two humans laying next to each other right it was pretty

105
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:07,720
pretty big still i think you could have done it i'm pretty sure i'd shoot out of that thing like

106
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:13,620
a bottle rocket i would like to have seen it at least i'm sure you would and i made the offer

107
00:08:13,620 --> 00:08:18,960
hey next november during alpaca come on up we'll ice that thing down oh i have to do it too

108
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,340
oh yes you're the one that called me a chicken for not wanting to do it but it's so much easier

109
00:08:24,340 --> 00:08:29,200
to call somebody out when you're 500 miles away and don't have any chance of actually

110
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,420
having to get pushed into doing that yourself.

111
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,360
This is true.

112
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,300
I'll concede to that.

113
00:08:43,060 --> 00:08:44,240
What's the worst that happens?

114
00:08:45,260 --> 00:08:47,400
You get cold and you come back in, you warm up, right?

115
00:08:47,660 --> 00:08:48,980
You're not going to die, probably.

116
00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:49,940
Maybe.

117
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:50,740
Most likely.

118
00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:52,900
as long as your

119
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:57,600
cardiovascular system

120
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,180
is in decent health

121
00:08:59,180 --> 00:09:00,280
I think you'll be okay

122
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,240
I don't know you see them Russians and the Swedish guys

123
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,660
doing that stuff all the time

124
00:09:04,660 --> 00:09:05,680
oh yeah

125
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:07,660
they seem to enjoy it for some reason

126
00:09:07,660 --> 00:09:11,300
I mean it's supposed to have a lot of

127
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:12,780
really good properties

128
00:09:12,780 --> 00:09:15,120
to it you know it's supposed to really

129
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,720
and I don't know all of that

130
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:18,780
right I should

131
00:09:18,780 --> 00:09:20,000
I should dig into this.

132
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:22,560
I mean, it's not like I can't go do something like that.

133
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,740
Well, I mean, you got those athletes jumping in the tubs of ice and stuff, right?

134
00:09:26,780 --> 00:09:28,720
And they're paying big money to do that stuff.

135
00:09:28,780 --> 00:09:32,620
Or they have those, what, CO2 cryo chamber things?

136
00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:36,860
Like you stick it up to your neck and I don't know how that works.

137
00:09:37,140 --> 00:09:37,900
I haven't done that.

138
00:09:38,820 --> 00:09:39,600
I've heard of it.

139
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,120
Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff.

140
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,280
You know, like you were talking about, they have like full red light saunas.

141
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,780
I didn't know about that

142
00:09:49,780 --> 00:09:51,140
That's interesting

143
00:09:51,140 --> 00:09:52,360
Yeah they got that at like

144
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,220
What is it that gym that's everywhere

145
00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:57,460
Like Planet Fitness they got one there

146
00:09:57,460 --> 00:09:58,860
Oh really?

147
00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,400
Yeah

148
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,320
That might be worth a membership

149
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,680
I think I can get one for free

150
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:05,980
For my insurance

151
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:07,520
There you go

152
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,660
Stop by, jump in

153
00:10:10,660 --> 00:10:13,440
Get your red light on, full body

154
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,080
You don't have to go out

155
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,320
And deal with people

156
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,620
and all that stuff.

157
00:10:18,620 --> 00:10:22,640
Yeah, isn't Planet Fitness one of the ones that stays open 24-7, though?

158
00:10:22,820 --> 00:10:23,660
I have no idea.

159
00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:25,700
Yeah, I'm not positive.

160
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,920
I know a lot of them do.

161
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:32,180
So you can always just, like, wake up before your normal time.

162
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:36,340
Like, instead of waking up at 4 a.m., wake up at, you know, 3.30.

163
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,720
I'm on chicken time, man.

164
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,460
Sun up, sun down.

165
00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:40,720
Same as them.

166
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:46,940
I go to, I roost, I go to home to roost at night, right about 630 when the sun goes down.

167
00:10:47,740 --> 00:10:48,180
Yeah.

168
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:53,220
You know, what's interesting about that is, you know, for the last, well, I guess over

169
00:10:53,220 --> 00:10:58,660
a year now, um, I rarely ever wake up to an alarm.

170
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:06,760
You just leave the blinds open and I wake up and I, you know what, when I do have to

171
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:13,420
wake up alarm like i have to get out of the house for work or whatever i feel like absolute crap

172
00:11:13,420 --> 00:11:20,780
when i wake up and like that's that's like a third cup of coffee day because i am dragging ass all day

173
00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:28,380
but when i don't i wake up and i'm ready to go which is interesting it's that circadian rhythm

174
00:11:28,380 --> 00:11:34,700
rhythm you know it's you gotta stay away from that uh the screen blue light at night looking

175
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:41,400
that that messes your stuff up too yeah i'm i'm pretty much off screen uh for the majority

176
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:48,300
of my evenings they do have like um blue blocking glasses that you can wear they're like have a

177
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:53,440
yellow lens on them that's supposed to help i don't know i i think the blue light is only a

178
00:11:53,440 --> 00:12:00,620
portion of the problem there well i agree i mean you know you're talking about rage bait

179
00:12:00,620 --> 00:12:08,040
doom scrolling cesspool of garbage and that's what you're putting into your brain right before

180
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:18,240
bedtime well that's true you know yeah so i'm sure the blue light isn't helpful but you know i don't

181
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:24,200
think the solution is to get special glasses so you can look at your phone more i put the damn

182
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:32,180
thing down just just set it down or better yet i have an even better solution you don't

183
00:12:32,180 --> 00:12:42,080
how do you stay off your phone more often don't even have a phone that's even better yeah but

184
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,740
that's kind of blown because you have a tablet yeah and people aren't exactly using the phone

185
00:12:46,740 --> 00:12:51,420
service when they're doing that they're using you can lock it in a faraday box that has a

186
00:12:51,420 --> 00:12:59,020
time release on it or something there you go yeah you know they have a time delay safe they have

187
00:12:59,020 --> 00:13:06,140
like all this usage stuff and you know this is something i've talked to other individuals about

188
00:13:06,140 --> 00:13:14,300
let's just go look at the usage let's just take a quick gander oh let's not the default reaction

189
00:13:14,300 --> 00:13:24,620
is absolutely not. I don't want to see that. Why? It might be problematic. Yeah. So yeah,

190
00:13:24,660 --> 00:13:30,060
put your phone down. Just put it down. All that garbage will be there tomorrow. I promise you,

191
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:37,320
it's not going anywhere. You're not going to miss out on the latest thing. It'll be there tomorrow.

192
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,640
You can still get the latest thing tomorrow. Although it'll be aged and everyone else will

193
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:51,820
know about it already so oh no but i mean honestly it's all gonna be there tomorrow and refreshed

194
00:13:51,820 --> 00:13:59,000
so you get like that like if you're i swear i have had times where i reached the end of the internet

195
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,840
i've been there yeah years ago but still you know it's like all of a sudden it's just

196
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,900
all the same stuff and you're like i'm just seeing the reposts of everything on the internet that i've

197
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:20,040
already seen and i you know with some exceptions find the commentary uh unnecessary

198
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:26,760
like i don't need to hear 5 000 people's opinion on something that just got posted

199
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:33,060
and then reposted 5 000 times with a different opinion or the same opinion on each of those posts

200
00:14:33,060 --> 00:14:38,380
it's the same post sometimes i wonder why anybody would even want to hear our opinion

201
00:14:38,380 --> 00:14:46,300
I don't know. I don't get the whole podcast thing anyway, but I appreciate everybody that does. I don't know. Thanks.

202
00:14:46,300 --> 00:15:14,640
I think it's, I think it's more about just tuning into something that's for me, tuning into something that's somewhat relaxing. You're going to do something you can hear, uh, like a conversation on a topic or, or, you know, a person that you might have interest in. And that's, that to me is like a way to, when I'm doing things that require me to be doing the same thing for four, five, six hours.

203
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:20,060
yeah i'll put i'll put podcast in and just sit there and roll through podcasts that are

204
00:15:20,060 --> 00:15:25,900
interesting to me um you know how do you go about finding ones that you think you might enjoy

205
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:35,160
you know i actually uh just kind of like scroll through different stuff um after we started doing

206
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:42,480
this i i've i've gotten you know i'm i wouldn't say we're we're in touch with or or we are you

207
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,200
know, engaged or friends with any other, you know, podcasters per se.

208
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:54,360
But, you know, we've gotten to, I've gotten to kind of interact with a number of podcasters,

209
00:15:55,140 --> 00:15:57,940
you know, and, and so that's another way, right?

210
00:15:58,020 --> 00:15:58,640
Word of mouth.

211
00:15:59,140 --> 00:16:01,200
You know, people send me a podcast.

212
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,780
Hey dude, you should check this out.

213
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:03,980
You know, it's pretty interesting.

214
00:16:04,420 --> 00:16:04,900
Okay.

215
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,080
So I check it out.

216
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,580
If it's interesting to me, for me, it's more the cadence and the, and the style.

217
00:16:10,580 --> 00:16:16,360
The thing I can't really do is the shock jock crap.

218
00:16:16,660 --> 00:16:30,300
I don't want to hear someone screaming about whatever the BS crap of, you know, the moment is, you know, and I don't want to hear two people screaming at each other or a panel of people screaming at each other.

219
00:16:30,340 --> 00:16:34,800
But I'm more than happy to tune into a panel of people that are discussing things.

220
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,300
And that's that free and open exchange of ideas.

221
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:48,280
Like as soon as it goes to shutting someone else down and not wanting to listen to, you know, it becomes like a fight, I guess, right?

222
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:51,260
A verbal altercation, if you will.

223
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,540
It's disinteresting to me.

224
00:16:54,100 --> 00:17:00,780
I don't need to hear how you can insult someone and they can insult you and, you know, all that stuff.

225
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,820
Just, you know, espouse your ideas and be ready to defend them.

226
00:17:05,260 --> 00:17:08,180
Yeah, I don't know why somebody would want to do that.

227
00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:14,940
exactly but i guess it's for views for views and clicks and all those things it gets clicks

228
00:17:14,940 --> 00:17:21,600
especially you you know you get outrage from you know especially in the political world right you

229
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:28,140
end up getting outrage from you know one side and then you get outrage because of the out you know

230
00:17:28,140 --> 00:17:35,800
what i mean so you're like double outrage baiting people and and uh yeah that's the stuff i'm i'm

231
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:42,300
we that won't be us it won't be me i'm not doing it what if i want to do that stuff

232
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:50,700
you've got a mic okay i have no i have no interest in that whatsoever yeah it's it's just not that

233
00:17:50,700 --> 00:17:56,640
there's enough of that out there there's literally thousands upon thousands probably tens of thousands

234
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:03,280
if not hundreds of thousands of podcasts you can go fill your rage meter all day long just

235
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:10,980
if that's your gig, Hey, there you are. You know, now we will talk about topics and we may have some

236
00:18:10,980 --> 00:18:17,940
of our own opinions, which may lead to a, you know, a havoc rant or something. Um, but again,

237
00:18:17,940 --> 00:18:24,220
I'm not trying to, you know, in general, I'm not trying to bash another person and I'm not trying

238
00:18:24,220 --> 00:18:34,040
to bash an idea so much as i'm trying to express my own opinions and where i think there are

239
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:44,660
you know logical fallacies uh or or other areas of concern for me right so yeah so how about the

240
00:18:44,660 --> 00:18:49,980
name thing that is is it i guess podcasts are kind of like books where you really can't judge a

241
00:18:49,980 --> 00:18:55,820
book by its cover because like even going by our our name i don't know that i would even click on it

242
00:18:55,820 --> 00:19:01,320
i'd be like maybe i mean maybe it sounds interesting i don't know i'm sure there's a

243
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:07,520
bunch of things out there that people don't click on oh i'm sure right and this was a discussion

244
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:16,320
that came up with a group of podcasters actually uh and you know one of the things was the name

245
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:23,100
right here's the thing about our name it is unique it is different um and it may not be

246
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:30,560
click worthy because you may not be able to tell what is going on right but if you bother to read

247
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:36,220
like the first paragraph you know the first sentence or two of our description you kind of

248
00:19:36,220 --> 00:19:42,660
get an idea like this is pre-open it's not a niche we're not we're not pigeonholed into

249
00:19:42,660 --> 00:19:47,240
you know we're only going to talk about this or we're only going to talk about that

250
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:53,220
we are literally open to you know just discussing ideas

251
00:19:53,220 --> 00:20:02,840
so you know it can be helpful it can be hurtful i don't know you know i think at this point uh

252
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:08,380
changing it would be detrimental and and i don't know what the heck we would call it right

253
00:20:08,380 --> 00:20:16,060
no i i totally agree with you yeah i mean it it's i mean the same as if it was the havoc and lx show

254
00:20:16,060 --> 00:20:20,560
like who who would click on that like what does that tell you it tells you absolutely nothing

255
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:27,040
yeah and so it's kind of a fun and quirky weird name you know space tomatoes

256
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:33,820
okay i like it a lot i i i'm i'm pretty happy with it

257
00:20:33,820 --> 00:20:42,240
it's it's just our gig man it's our gig so um we both kind of survived the uh

258
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:58,018
the wintry uh hit of the arctic coming down on us like you hit got it really bad you guys have like tons of snow and ice and what they call snowmageddon or something or ice mageddon or yeah we had ice mageddon and

259
00:20:58,018 --> 00:21:05,698
then snowmageddon um yeah so the ice was the the ice was the one that was more worrisome

260
00:21:05,698 --> 00:21:12,298
Um, ice is, is, you know, a lot heavier than snow, like a lot heavier.

261
00:21:13,038 --> 00:21:22,098
And, uh, so our, you know, power lines are all above ground and, you know, trees, we,

262
00:21:22,198 --> 00:21:28,238
we live in an area where there are massive trees, you know, branches the size of normal

263
00:21:28,238 --> 00:21:29,518
trees, right?

264
00:21:29,658 --> 00:21:34,158
And so it just takes one branch to snap off and hit a power line.

265
00:21:34,158 --> 00:21:40,278
that's already laden with, you know, even like a quarter inch of ice is, you know, that's it.

266
00:21:40,358 --> 00:21:45,858
That power line is coming down. So power outages. And then of course there's the, you know,

267
00:21:45,898 --> 00:21:52,658
the travel factor. Ice, ice makes everything very, very difficult. You know, even you look,

268
00:21:52,718 --> 00:21:57,558
you look in areas and, you know, people will say, oh, well, if you're used to it now, ice is,

269
00:21:57,558 --> 00:22:04,098
you don't get used to ice. You either, you know, equip your vehicle and yourself with stuff to

270
00:22:04,098 --> 00:22:13,818
counter ice or you're you have no traction sorry there's no you know there's no two ways about that

271
00:22:13,818 --> 00:22:21,258
you can't just be good at driving on ice it doesn't how about walking i i would imagine it

272
00:22:21,258 --> 00:22:28,518
would make even walking like out to the barn more treacherous than uh normal i i ate absolute

273
00:22:28,518 --> 00:22:35,558
crap on the way out of our door hit our yard and there was an area that looked it looked like it

274
00:22:35,558 --> 00:22:42,798
was clear looked like i was good i took a step and whoop i did the scooby-doo you okay did you

275
00:22:42,798 --> 00:22:50,158
break a hip yeah well i you know hurt my my my hip and lower back a little bit oh you did yeah

276
00:22:50,158 --> 00:22:56,898
bing banged my elbow and my wrist up too you like a bruise or anything or you know i don't really

277
00:22:56,898 --> 00:23:05,338
bruise all right you know if i bruise it's really really bad like when i broke my collarbone and

278
00:23:05,338 --> 00:23:12,378
five ribs i had some minor yellowing of the skin okay most people would have been black and blue

279
00:23:12,378 --> 00:23:20,218
blue i you know i don't know the science behind why that is but i i don't bruise easily i know

280
00:23:20,218 --> 00:23:25,478
when you get older uh not saying you're old but we're both getting older i know the ground gets a

281
00:23:25,478 --> 00:23:30,678
it harder for some reason i'm not sure how that works what do you mean old

282
00:23:30,678 --> 00:23:40,118
what it's just a number man nice i'm not old i've leveled up

283
00:23:40,118 --> 00:23:54,818
i'm on level 56 man level 56 nice nice you know i i'm glad i didn't fall in the yard that would

284
00:23:54,818 --> 00:23:56,218
That would not be fun.

285
00:23:57,158 --> 00:24:02,858
Yeah, the thing with it really just came down to smooth area versus non-smooth area.

286
00:24:03,358 --> 00:24:05,998
So, you know, we use a tractor.

287
00:24:05,998 --> 00:24:11,838
And so wherever the tractor goes, if it's moist, that one was for you, son.

288
00:24:12,518 --> 00:24:13,038
Moist.

289
00:24:13,478 --> 00:24:15,898
If it's moist.

290
00:24:16,218 --> 00:24:18,678
I'm going to work that one in a couple more times.

291
00:24:19,938 --> 00:24:23,478
If the ground happens to be moist.

292
00:24:24,818 --> 00:24:32,598
i bet like half of the people are like oh don't say that i don't i don't understand it doesn't

293
00:24:32,598 --> 00:24:37,538
bother me at all yeah i don't get it either but it's just a word if if there's you know

294
00:24:38,238 --> 00:24:45,958
if the ground is in that position then the tractor will leave uh very clear uh tire indentations

295
00:24:45,958 --> 00:24:54,958
right and the tractor tire has kind of a almost a paddle tread almost so if you're walking on that

296
00:24:54,958 --> 00:25:02,678
you've got like this ridge and indentation and ridge and you might get like two or three of

297
00:25:02,678 --> 00:25:08,058
those under your foot and that prevents the sliding because you're catching on the edges

298
00:25:08,058 --> 00:25:14,538
of the ridges etc so walking on that kind of ground was was really helpful and we happen to

299
00:25:14,538 --> 00:25:20,618
have a good amount of that kind of ground nice did you get to build a snowman or anything you

300
00:25:20,618 --> 00:25:25,578
know i tried i tried and tried and tried and i got i could what do you mean you tried either do

301
00:25:25,578 --> 00:25:31,118
it or you don't do it well i could get like a snowball this big to compact and i could press

302
00:25:31,118 --> 00:25:37,378
it together and get it to be there but the second you started trying to roll it it would just lose

303
00:25:37,378 --> 00:25:43,058
snow as opposed to how does that work it was too dry there wasn't it was just i mean it was

304
00:25:43,058 --> 00:25:50,958
exceedingly dry dry snow we had static shock in the house everywhere just and outside just

305
00:25:50,958 --> 00:25:56,358
everything just pop pop pop pop pop pop it was so dry are you sure it was snow and not like like

306
00:25:56,358 --> 00:26:02,298
styrofoam or something like somebody sprinkled from an airplane it could be you don't you don't

307
00:26:02,298 --> 00:26:07,458
know i don't know i didn't try and melt it i've heard that's just weird i kidding i've never heard

308
00:26:07,458 --> 00:26:13,978
is that i mean i i have granted i have very little experience with snow but that just sounds odd to

309
00:26:13,978 --> 00:26:22,078
me there's there's you know snow you know will fall either dry or wet and i mean obviously there's

310
00:26:22,078 --> 00:26:28,978
a scale right it's not like oh it's either this or that um it can be drier or wetter right um

311
00:26:28,978 --> 00:26:33,838
and you kind of want something i i would think somewhere in the middle you don't want it to be

312
00:26:33,838 --> 00:26:39,498
too slushy right because then you're just making ice balls but you want it to have some moisture

313
00:26:39,498 --> 00:26:47,298
so it sticks together and as you roll the ball more of it wants to stick to it right um this

314
00:26:47,298 --> 00:26:51,578
stuff was just dry like you could pick it up in your hand and go like this and it would just powder

315
00:26:51,578 --> 00:26:56,678
off really so like you couldn't even make snowballs that like throw it somebody like your wife or

316
00:26:56,678 --> 00:27:02,318
anybody else you could get it to compress into a snowball but the second you throw it it would

317
00:27:02,318 --> 00:27:11,018
just go it's really interesting yeah i mean you know so it would stick to our boots and stuff like

318
00:27:11,018 --> 00:27:16,498
yeah you know we had a couple of german wheat beers and i put a couple of those out in the

319
00:27:16,498 --> 00:27:22,498
snow and let them you know get cold out there um and it stuck to those but again the reason for that

320
00:27:22,498 --> 00:27:27,658
is the moisture you've got a warm liquid inside of glass container you put it in the snow the snow

321
00:27:27,658 --> 00:27:34,078
is going to melt around it and the snow that's above that is going to you know kind of take up

322
00:27:34,078 --> 00:27:38,678
less and less of that moisture so when you pull it out there's snow snuck stuck to the bottle

323
00:27:38,678 --> 00:27:46,038
right and the same with our boots right we're you know we're we're uh we're pushing out heat from

324
00:27:46,038 --> 00:27:51,278
our body and as you walk through the snow some snow will accumulate and probably some of that

325
00:27:51,278 --> 00:27:57,858
as moisture from the ground and and stuff like that but in just snow on snow contact it was

326
00:27:57,858 --> 00:28:02,138
useless i couldn't i couldn't get it to do any of that stuff

327
00:28:02,138 --> 00:28:07,718
those listeners in the northern states are like man you guys are just a bunch of whips you know

328
00:28:07,718 --> 00:28:16,478
but we're not used to snow man it's like unusual it is it was this was a once in 20 year event

329
00:28:16,478 --> 00:28:24,778
we got eight inches of snow wow that's minuscule to you know a lot of especially you know northerners

330
00:28:24,778 --> 00:28:32,578
right the yanks um they they get a lot more of this stuff they're used to it of course they they

331
00:28:32,578 --> 00:28:39,878
drive better in it there's no question about it again snow not ice ice is just ice man they're

332
00:28:39,878 --> 00:28:46,138
just unless you've got cleats on your tires and you've got you know gear you've geared your car

333
00:28:46,138 --> 00:28:52,278
up for that those conditions which a lot of those people do so that's the big difference you know

334
00:28:52,278 --> 00:28:58,078
we're nobody here has cleated tires nobody it would make no sense to have an entire extra set

335
00:28:58,078 --> 00:29:05,818
of tires with ice cleats on them to for what like once every 20 years you might put them on they'd be

336
00:29:05,818 --> 00:29:11,418
dry rotted by the time you got to them you know and there's probably like about one snow plow or

337
00:29:11,418 --> 00:29:16,918
anything in the entire state i would i would imagine well they they don't yeah they they have

338
00:29:16,918 --> 00:29:22,038
we have plows right they'll put plows on trucks and and go oh they actually have them well sure

339
00:29:22,038 --> 00:29:27,118
but they're not purpose built right they're just generally purpose trucks with a plow on it

340
00:29:27,118 --> 00:29:34,538
and then we just use dump trucks for you know or water trucks or whatever they are for brine

341
00:29:34,538 --> 00:29:41,178
and and we use a lot of that but you know we we do not have the infrastructure to

342
00:29:41,178 --> 00:29:48,878
like it won't be cleared quickly number one um we do our best um but we don't have the

343
00:29:48,878 --> 00:29:56,098
infrastructure to get and plow all the streets right it's just not going to happen so and that's

344
00:29:56,098 --> 00:30:02,498
a good thing right you don't want to pay for a fleet of vehicles that sits there for 20 years

345
00:30:02,498 --> 00:30:09,458
having to be maintained and you know refreshed with with newer stuff or whatever the case is

346
00:30:09,458 --> 00:30:16,798
in the event that you happen to get a snowstorm it just doesn't make any sense

347
00:30:16,798 --> 00:30:23,378
yeah they were even uh giving us a 40 50 chance of seeing the flurries here in central florida

348
00:30:23,378 --> 00:30:30,758
which was extremely unusual yeah but nothing happened here where we were i mean my wife was

349
00:30:30,758 --> 00:30:35,118
a little disappointed i think we went out a couple times in the middle of the night just to see but

350
00:30:35,118 --> 00:30:39,818
nothing but a couple places within a few miles like you know just stuff floating in the air

351
00:30:39,818 --> 00:30:47,638
no accumulation on the ground but still it's just still interesting isn't it weird i'm sorry and

352
00:30:47,638 --> 00:30:56,438
maybe this isn't a universal thing but for me like it's a weird thing like if snow is just awesome

353
00:30:56,438 --> 00:31:02,238
it's pretty it's beautiful it's fun there's something exciting about it like i see it falling

354
00:31:02,238 --> 00:31:07,978
out of the sky and i want to be in it i want to be looking at it i want to see it you know what i

355
00:31:07,978 --> 00:31:14,598
mean like rain comes i don't do that sleet nah hail maybe because i want to see kind of hail

356
00:31:14,598 --> 00:31:19,578
pinging off stuff but snow on the other hand i will literally stand there at the door and just

357
00:31:19,578 --> 00:31:26,318
watch snow even if it's not sticking on the ground just like oh snow no maybe that's just

358
00:31:26,318 --> 00:31:31,438
a universal thing like i've seen so many videos of dogs playing in the snow and i mean they're

359
00:31:31,438 --> 00:31:36,458
just having a great time like they're just loving life did did your animals do the same kind of

360
00:31:36,458 --> 00:31:43,778
thing were they enjoying going out there playing in it or uh the house dogs not as much okay um

361
00:31:43,778 --> 00:31:52,218
the the lgds uh livestock guardian dogs they all yeah they they love that stuff like you think of

362
00:31:52,218 --> 00:31:58,118
those big thick coats and stuff i'm sure they're yeah loving it yeah the the pyrenees are you go

363
00:31:58,118 --> 00:32:03,098
out there and they're laying they're just like yeah they're like come on they're like no i'm

364
00:32:03,098 --> 00:32:08,718
happy i'm in my snow so what do horses think about that you gotta put the blankets on them

365
00:32:08,718 --> 00:32:15,438
and all that stuff no blanketed horse is a sick horse right in my opinion so here's the thing

366
00:32:15,438 --> 00:32:20,418
with blankets a lot of the times what you'll see is blankets are used and i'm not gonna poo-poo that

367
00:32:20,418 --> 00:32:23,758
If you feel you need to, you can't, you go for it.

368
00:32:23,758 --> 00:32:23,958
Right.

369
00:32:23,998 --> 00:32:29,638
And then I will say this, if it gets too cold, yeah, probably a good idea to bring your horses

370
00:32:29,638 --> 00:32:32,058
into a barn instead of a blanket.

371
00:32:32,278 --> 00:32:32,578
Right.

372
00:32:33,178 --> 00:32:35,318
Um, but even a blanket, sure.

373
00:32:35,318 --> 00:32:39,418
Cause if you've got to get them out there and you know, muck stalls, you got to do whatever.

374
00:32:39,838 --> 00:32:40,318
Okay.

375
00:32:40,438 --> 00:32:44,978
Like super cold where we get, it doesn't really get that cold.

376
00:32:45,598 --> 00:32:48,378
And we, we aren't showing the horses or anything.

377
00:32:48,378 --> 00:32:50,278
So they grow their winter coats out.

378
00:32:51,078 --> 00:32:55,758
And I think blanketing to a large extent kind of prevents that from happening.

379
00:32:56,318 --> 00:33:00,478
You're keeping the horse warm and kind of changing that pattern.

380
00:33:01,118 --> 00:33:06,078
So a lot of show horses and stuff like that, they're going to be blanketed.

381
00:33:06,338 --> 00:33:09,778
They're going to be kept in a little different state.

382
00:33:10,198 --> 00:33:11,858
Our horses, they're like, yeah, whatever.

383
00:33:11,998 --> 00:33:15,218
They don't like snow for one reason.

384
00:33:15,758 --> 00:33:16,758
Well, probably two.

385
00:33:17,278 --> 00:33:19,138
It will, it falls on their back.

386
00:33:19,238 --> 00:33:22,498
They are warm and it turns to kind of an ice sheet.

387
00:33:22,618 --> 00:33:23,958
They're not real happy about that.

388
00:33:24,018 --> 00:33:28,598
So they'll stand under the run under, they'll go in their stall and, you know, hang out in there.

389
00:33:29,698 --> 00:33:34,018
But the biggest reason they don't like snow is where'd all the grass go?

390
00:33:35,238 --> 00:33:35,958
Ah, yeah.

391
00:33:36,278 --> 00:33:37,238
They can't get to it.

392
00:33:37,298 --> 00:33:37,818
You know what I mean?

393
00:33:38,058 --> 00:33:44,298
And so they'll sit out there and they'll paw at the ground trying to open up a little area where they can munch on some grass, you know?

394
00:33:44,878 --> 00:33:45,458
With their hands?

395
00:33:45,458 --> 00:33:49,938
no we're not doing this

396
00:33:49,938 --> 00:33:53,178
cats don't have hands

397
00:33:53,178 --> 00:33:54,938
they don't have arms

398
00:33:54,938 --> 00:33:57,298
they are quadra

399
00:33:57,298 --> 00:33:59,758
heads we're talking about horses

400
00:33:59,758 --> 00:34:00,998
horses don't have hands

401
00:34:00,998 --> 00:34:03,038
also quadra heads

402
00:34:03,038 --> 00:34:04,878
alright I'm just checking

403
00:34:04,878 --> 00:34:07,538
I know I've caught you out a few times

404
00:34:07,538 --> 00:34:09,578
see this is us well sure

405
00:34:09,578 --> 00:34:11,898
you know you say it enough it's gonna slip

406
00:34:11,898 --> 00:34:12,298
right

407
00:34:12,298 --> 00:34:14,498
we are bipedal

408
00:34:14,498 --> 00:34:21,698
bipedal uh that means we have two legs leaving us with two arms

409
00:34:21,698 --> 00:34:33,778
cats horses dogs sheep donkeys goats quadrupeds so when we get the horse's feet done

410
00:34:33,778 --> 00:34:41,518
we don't say can you do their arms too they come to do four pedicure it's a pedicure it's a pedicure

411
00:34:41,878 --> 00:34:42,758
It's a pedi-pedi.

412
00:34:42,858 --> 00:34:44,998
Instead of a mani-pedi, they get a pedi-pedi.

413
00:34:45,638 --> 00:34:45,838
See?

414
00:34:46,198 --> 00:34:52,618
So I just had an idea, like, maybe our first T-shirt could be, like, a cat with a space helmet holding a tomato and giving, like, a thumbs up.

415
00:34:53,618 --> 00:34:54,438
Cat with arms.

416
00:34:54,538 --> 00:34:56,798
You're just trying to push the cats have arms thing.

417
00:34:56,898 --> 00:34:57,578
I know you are.

418
00:34:58,198 --> 00:34:59,278
It's your conspiracy.

419
00:35:01,518 --> 00:35:03,858
This probably goes back to Egypt times.

420
00:35:05,058 --> 00:35:06,298
I don't know about that.

421
00:35:06,418 --> 00:35:06,878
It could.

422
00:35:06,998 --> 00:35:07,598
You don't know.

423
00:35:08,318 --> 00:35:09,958
I can't read hieroglyphs.

424
00:35:09,958 --> 00:35:15,438
So, you know, they could have had some of that could just be a discussion on whether cats have arms or legs.

425
00:35:15,658 --> 00:35:16,798
We don't know.

426
00:35:17,498 --> 00:35:18,718
Maybe I should write a book.

427
00:35:18,798 --> 00:35:19,738
We could write a book together.

428
00:35:21,818 --> 00:35:22,898
I've tried that.

429
00:35:23,998 --> 00:35:25,998
It's pretty cool in the beginning.

430
00:35:26,318 --> 00:35:27,258
And then it just.

431
00:35:28,318 --> 00:35:29,318
Yeah, no.

432
00:35:30,438 --> 00:35:31,978
No, a ghostwriter.

433
00:35:31,978 --> 00:35:38,878
I'm kind of envious of these authors that, you know, we've had on that written books like and seen the whole thing through to the end.

434
00:35:38,878 --> 00:35:45,658
oh same i mean the amount i've done it in my brain but right the amount of dedication

435
00:35:45,658 --> 00:35:54,118
to doing that um yeah it's it's amazing right because you think about it they have to put an

436
00:35:54,118 --> 00:36:01,478
idea in their head onto paper and write it in a way that people want to read number one but also

437
00:36:01,478 --> 00:36:08,298
that makes sense right because what you know the jumble in my head may not make sense if i just put

438
00:36:08,298 --> 00:36:14,518
it all on paper i've got to actually coordinate you know timelines i've got to coordinate subject

439
00:36:14,518 --> 00:36:19,438
matter and i can't just go bouncing willy-nilly all over the place and running off on tangents

440
00:36:19,438 --> 00:36:26,738
here and there people will just be like what am i reading this would be better as a podcast

441
00:36:26,738 --> 00:36:35,298
see that's that's that's what i said when we first did this podcast is the uh lazy author's

442
00:36:35,298 --> 00:36:39,618
There's exit strategy or secondary plan, I suppose.

443
00:36:40,718 --> 00:36:41,918
Sure, sure. Why not?

444
00:36:42,638 --> 00:36:46,278
Do an hour short story every week.

445
00:36:46,698 --> 00:36:47,738
Right? Absolutely.

446
00:36:48,518 --> 00:36:50,618
I mean, if you think about it, it is.

447
00:36:51,018 --> 00:36:53,638
Especially, you know, depending on the format of the show,

448
00:36:54,198 --> 00:36:56,038
you know, some of them are, you know,

449
00:36:56,058 --> 00:36:59,298
quite well thought out and planned out

450
00:36:59,298 --> 00:37:02,078
with, you know, a really good script

451
00:37:02,078 --> 00:37:05,218
to guide the session.

452
00:37:05,298 --> 00:37:05,778
Right.

453
00:37:06,058 --> 00:37:09,338
And I don't like that.

454
00:37:09,458 --> 00:37:10,178
I'm not doing it.

455
00:37:10,178 --> 00:37:11,298
We're not really script guys.

456
00:37:11,438 --> 00:37:11,898
I don't think.

457
00:37:12,258 --> 00:37:13,518
No, no.

458
00:37:13,878 --> 00:37:19,038
I mean, I can script on a computer, but you know, not, not this.

459
00:37:20,418 --> 00:37:20,898
Yeah.

460
00:37:21,178 --> 00:37:25,518
I, we, I've tried a couple of times and it just, it feels unnatural.

461
00:37:26,678 --> 00:37:32,858
And I know there's a whole, you know, uh, there's a whole method to taking those and

462
00:37:32,858 --> 00:37:34,118
making them feel natural.

463
00:37:34,418 --> 00:37:34,858
Right.

464
00:37:34,978 --> 00:37:35,278
Right.

465
00:37:35,298 --> 00:38:00,278
Um, but that is okay. So here's the real gist of it is I just don't have time. I don't have time to do that. That would be in and of itself all of my time, which would leave me with no ability to edit, you know, to, you know, engineer the sound to do all of the stuff that I'm terrible at, but I'm learning.

466
00:38:00,278 --> 00:38:07,478
so i i tried a couple times so guests especially guests that i'm really not that familiar with

467
00:38:07,478 --> 00:38:11,618
their field of expertise i did a little research and i came up with some questions and

468
00:38:11,618 --> 00:38:16,458
out of those questions like i wrote them all down and everything you know how many i used out of

469
00:38:16,458 --> 00:38:26,798
that one zero yeah i'm like man yeah you know i don't know you know people can look that crap up

470
00:38:26,798 --> 00:38:28,858
They want to know other stuff, I think.

471
00:38:29,098 --> 00:38:30,238
I want to know other stuff.

472
00:38:30,318 --> 00:38:31,438
I don't know what they want, but.

473
00:38:32,618 --> 00:38:37,098
Yeah, and I think that's, you know, I mean, I do the same thing, right?

474
00:38:37,478 --> 00:38:46,958
I don't necessarily always write it down, but I'll do my research and look into things and have questions or areas that I'd like to explore.

475
00:38:47,818 --> 00:38:53,798
But at the same time, when you're in a conversation, and that's kind of what we do, right?

476
00:38:53,798 --> 00:38:57,098
for those of you that don't know

477
00:38:57,098 --> 00:38:59,278
before we start a recording

478
00:38:59,278 --> 00:39:00,578
we kind of run through some

479
00:39:00,578 --> 00:39:03,158
what this is blah blah blah

480
00:39:03,158 --> 00:39:08,118
felt a burp coming on

481
00:39:08,118 --> 00:39:08,818
it's gone

482
00:39:08,818 --> 00:39:11,558
but we go through this whole thing

483
00:39:11,558 --> 00:39:14,098
and we describe it as

484
00:39:14,098 --> 00:39:15,538
just picture yourself

485
00:39:15,538 --> 00:39:16,998
you've just met two people

486
00:39:16,998 --> 00:39:18,958
you're sitting around a campfire with

487
00:39:18,958 --> 00:39:21,398
and you know drinking beer

488
00:39:21,398 --> 00:39:22,778
or whatever you know

489
00:39:22,778 --> 00:39:23,618
drinking water

490
00:39:23,618 --> 00:39:27,938
drinking nothing, you know, whatever you want to be doing around your campfire.

491
00:39:28,058 --> 00:39:29,938
But literally just that, right?

492
00:39:29,958 --> 00:39:31,718
You're just engaging in conversation.

493
00:39:32,018 --> 00:39:37,478
People are in, they are interested in what your field of expertise is and you just strike

494
00:39:37,478 --> 00:39:40,858
up a conversation and where it goes is where it goes.

495
00:39:41,678 --> 00:39:43,198
And so it's authentic.

496
00:39:43,458 --> 00:39:44,578
It's unscripted.

497
00:39:44,638 --> 00:39:46,918
It's, you know, natural.

498
00:39:46,918 --> 00:39:53,098
It doesn't have a, you know, planned start and end area, right?

499
00:39:53,618 --> 00:39:59,078
And that to me is one thing that I think is enjoyable.

500
00:39:59,478 --> 00:40:00,118
I like that.

501
00:40:01,598 --> 00:40:01,998
Me too.

502
00:40:03,918 --> 00:40:08,698
Yeah, the whole scripting thing, besides, I wouldn't say I'm lazy.

503
00:40:08,878 --> 00:40:13,998
It's just like, I think I tend to procrastinate and put things off to the last minute.

504
00:40:14,258 --> 00:40:17,138
And it's just like a little bit too much for that kind of stuff.

505
00:40:17,478 --> 00:40:18,238
It's easier.

506
00:40:19,058 --> 00:40:20,898
Yeah, I mean, I've tried to do it.

507
00:40:20,978 --> 00:40:22,878
But here's the thing about it, right?

508
00:40:22,878 --> 00:40:26,338
It also cuts out the ability to just go off on a tangent.

509
00:40:26,878 --> 00:40:30,738
If you ask a kind of a broad, open question,

510
00:40:32,058 --> 00:40:39,678
you're going to have, you know, whatever the response is.

511
00:40:40,618 --> 00:40:40,938
Right.

512
00:40:40,938 --> 00:40:44,558
And I feel like scripting, if you're sticking to a script,

513
00:40:44,698 --> 00:40:47,098
you're going to end that segment

514
00:40:47,098 --> 00:40:55,478
that segment and just transition to a new topic area if that makes sense as opposed to

515
00:40:55,478 --> 00:41:00,378
let's see where this goes oh look they said something interesting here let me let me ask

516
00:41:00,378 --> 00:41:06,638
a follow-up on that you know and just let the conversation flow and i think there's something

517
00:41:06,638 --> 00:41:12,098
good to that yeah i think if you try to do the script i think too much you probably end up

518
00:41:12,098 --> 00:41:18,758
limiting yourself and probably limiting the, uh, the guest as well. Yeah. Try to stay in those

519
00:41:18,758 --> 00:41:25,998
parameters, but. And so far, all of the guests that we've had, uh, have had a good time and

520
00:41:25,998 --> 00:41:32,278
that's, that's also important to me, right? We're here to talk. We're here to hear your stuff. You

521
00:41:32,278 --> 00:41:48,716
know we here to ask questions Sure But you know really we want you to you know be the the star of the show We want you to shine So we just kind of following wherever we go and asking questions along the way

522
00:41:49,236 --> 00:41:49,756
Right.

523
00:41:50,236 --> 00:41:50,816
And listening.

524
00:41:51,016 --> 00:41:56,516
But I mean, with that, we're not out to like get anybody or, you know, trick them or talk

525
00:41:56,516 --> 00:41:58,356
them into saying something they shouldn't say.

526
00:41:58,356 --> 00:42:03,816
You know, it's genuine, legitimate interrogatories, you know, to find out more about them.

527
00:42:03,816 --> 00:42:10,156
yeah exactly it's important it's that campfire chat you can go sit around a campfire to just

528
00:42:10,156 --> 00:42:16,896
poke holes in someone and and give them a hard time right right that's not the vibe around a

529
00:42:16,896 --> 00:42:22,116
campfire at least it hasn't just do that to you when you when you don't want to jump in the pool

530
00:42:22,116 --> 00:42:35,996
oh man yeah yeah so is it warmed up now you got any chores you got to do around the house

531
00:42:35,996 --> 00:42:43,776
um we have uh we we have some fencing projects to tackle uh still be doing those tomorrow they

532
00:42:43,776 --> 00:42:49,356
get postponed well yeah it's hard to do those in a nice storm it's also hard to do those in a snow

533
00:42:49,356 --> 00:42:59,116
storm and uh yeah so you know you want to make god laugh tell him your plans that's right okay

534
00:42:59,116 --> 00:43:09,196
so um yeah so the plan is uh to to do that tomorrow um today is going to be a lot of cleanup

535
00:43:09,196 --> 00:43:17,636
we've got a bunch of cleanup to do so yep cleanup oh and we've got a bunch of feed we got to move

536
00:43:17,636 --> 00:43:23,136
down to the feed shed. We've got to stack some in the barn. We've got to get bedding. We've got,

537
00:43:23,256 --> 00:43:29,096
because we've been running through bedding like crazy. Because as I said, they don't want to stand

538
00:43:29,096 --> 00:43:33,276
out in the snow. They don't, same with ice, right? They don't want to stand out in that. There's,

539
00:43:33,656 --> 00:43:39,076
you know, they're not eating the grass because the grass is now coated. So they'll stand under

540
00:43:39,076 --> 00:43:46,876
the run under or in their stalls. And of course, you know, they aren't potty trained. So yeah.

541
00:43:47,636 --> 00:43:49,716
That probably raises the feed bill a little bit, huh?

542
00:43:49,796 --> 00:43:51,776
When there's no grass available?

543
00:43:52,196 --> 00:43:52,796
It does.

544
00:43:53,436 --> 00:43:53,956
Significantly.

545
00:43:53,956 --> 00:44:02,196
Yeah, we went through, you know, what, 15 bales of hay for, you know, a week.

546
00:44:02,476 --> 00:44:03,296
Not even that.

547
00:44:04,136 --> 00:44:05,656
Do you normally stockpile that stuff?

548
00:44:05,796 --> 00:44:09,396
Like quite an amount of it?

549
00:44:09,456 --> 00:44:13,596
How much do you actually store like in time's worth at a time?

550
00:44:13,596 --> 00:44:24,776
it so that depends right um but primarily typically what we have on hand is about a

551
00:44:24,776 --> 00:44:31,556
month's worth of feed at any given time um and that depends on how we're buying and what we're doing

552
00:44:31,556 --> 00:44:38,516
so whether we're doing you know drop ship type stuff or we're buying by the pallet

553
00:44:38,516 --> 00:44:45,956
uh when we can buying by the pallet is the best way to do it uh so there have been times where

554
00:44:45,956 --> 00:44:54,496
we've had nine months worth of feed uh you know seven to nine months stacked in the feed shed so

555
00:44:54,496 --> 00:45:00,336
it just depends on how we're buying and what we're doing now hey uh we've had years where we've you

556
00:45:00,336 --> 00:45:07,036
know stacked you know 60 to 100 bales uh and we've had other years where we just don't need it

557
00:45:07,036 --> 00:45:13,036
if the past you do the square ones or those ginormous big round ones we we do square bales

558
00:45:13,036 --> 00:45:20,236
because and they're rectangles but that's too hard to say so square bales although this this

559
00:45:20,236 --> 00:45:25,776
most recent rash we got for this particular because we're in the wrong time to be buying

560
00:45:25,776 --> 00:45:31,716
hay you buy hay in the spring and hope for first cut right uh because they'll let it grow back up

561
00:45:31,716 --> 00:45:34,196
and then cut it again and they'll grow it.

562
00:45:34,196 --> 00:45:36,816
But you start to get weeds and, you know,

563
00:45:36,856 --> 00:45:40,336
the quality of the grass goes down and all that good stuff.

564
00:45:41,076 --> 00:45:45,216
But the stuff we got is these highly compressed bales.

565
00:45:45,336 --> 00:45:48,056
So you've seen, if you haven't seen one before,

566
00:45:48,616 --> 00:45:54,436
a bale is probably, what, about three feet long

567
00:45:54,436 --> 00:46:01,056
by about 18 inches, by about, you know,

568
00:46:01,056 --> 00:46:09,436
12 14 inches high um these things what's that metric what's that what's that metric it's different

569
00:46:09,436 --> 00:46:16,436
that's what it is um right these these things they took them and they put them in some like

570
00:46:16,436 --> 00:46:23,276
trash compactor or some crap and now these little bales are like you know i don't know

571
00:46:23,816 --> 00:46:30,416
two feet not even that foot and a half by a foot and a half or something i mean they're

572
00:46:30,416 --> 00:46:36,536
very compressed so it's the entire weight of a bale in this little teeny form factor and it's

573
00:46:36,536 --> 00:46:42,796
difficult to manage uh stack's easy that's that's kind of neat but i don't like it and then the

574
00:46:42,796 --> 00:46:49,536
flakes come out just hyper compressed which i don't think is a good thing having it be a little

575
00:46:49,536 --> 00:46:57,116
bit looser allows the horse to pick up enough to eat without like over pulling um and horses have

576
00:46:57,116 --> 00:47:01,236
a habit sometimes of kind of taking it and when they're trying to break some off they just kind of

577
00:47:01,236 --> 00:47:08,436
fling it and so you get more waste i think with with that matter but the other thing is they're

578
00:47:08,436 --> 00:47:15,396
super heavy in a small form form factor and uh yeah i was rolling one out of the truck on into

579
00:47:15,396 --> 00:47:21,696
the tractor bucket and caught my thumb between the bale and the edge of the tractor bucket and so

580
00:47:21,696 --> 00:47:32,096
yeah oh it's a little spot yeah did it throb and hurt and all that stuff it did and i was ready to

581
00:47:32,096 --> 00:47:39,316
do your the you know but it it went away after about you know three hours four hours or so oh

582
00:47:39,316 --> 00:47:44,116
okay yeah if it doesn't go yeah normally you're gonna do it like right away like take that red

583
00:47:44,116 --> 00:47:51,436
hot poker and yeah it's very very counterintuitive to what you would think would help but yeah well

584
00:47:51,436 --> 00:47:58,076
no relieving pressure is a real thing right they do that for a lot of things right um yeah but who

585
00:47:58,076 --> 00:48:04,236
wants to stick a red hot flaming needle in their uh or paper clip in their thumbnail or fingernail

586
00:48:04,236 --> 00:48:11,696
nobody wants to do that that's crazy but when the when the when the yeah you sure you do absolutely

587
00:48:11,696 --> 00:48:20,156
because after you do that it goes ah okay that was that was very helpful um so yeah it's one of

588
00:48:20,156 --> 00:48:26,556
those things if the pain of of what you're going through outweighs the procedure you'll do it

589
00:48:26,556 --> 00:48:33,356
yeah it's kind of took me like 10 months to grow a new fingernail yeah forever yeah

590
00:48:33,356 --> 00:48:39,676
yeah i don't i don't know what's going to happen with this one it's it's not even half the bed so

591
00:48:39,676 --> 00:48:45,696
it should should be okay but i might lose part of my thumbnail yeah mine never fell off until like

592
00:48:45,696 --> 00:48:48,896
i guess like the last little bit and then i get kind of flaky at the end but

593
00:48:48,896 --> 00:48:56,076
i was surprised my my whole thing was like purple and nasty and it went way behind like where you

594
00:48:56,076 --> 00:49:00,416
could even see like it kept growing out and i'm like holy crap man it was like like a quarter inch

595
00:49:00,416 --> 00:49:06,296
past where you can see it yeah this that's what kind of what this one's doing is it's growing out

596
00:49:06,296 --> 00:49:11,576
but i think well i don't know we'll see i don't care it's a thumbnail whatever

597
00:49:11,576 --> 00:49:20,276
were you wearing gloves or no yes oh really you still did that oh yeah okay yeah these were heavy

598
00:49:20,276 --> 00:49:25,936
and and again it was just against the blade so the bucket's kind of like this and there's a blade on

599
00:49:25,936 --> 00:49:30,816
the front right that's where you can lower and scrape stuff off the ground or whatever you want

600
00:49:30,816 --> 00:49:38,076
to do shovel into dirt and pick it up anyway yeah i rolled it and when i was rolling it i had it

601
00:49:38,076 --> 00:49:43,756
like this and then i rolled it like this and it my thumb just happened to hit the blade of the

602
00:49:43,756 --> 00:49:49,296
bucket and the whole thing kind of on its own you know just you know momentum just

603
00:49:49,296 --> 00:49:57,596
my thumb is hurting in sympathy for you that that's yeah that stinks doesn't hurt anymore

604
00:49:57,596 --> 00:50:03,216
that's all right that's good it's just another damage point it's like all right

605
00:50:03,216 --> 00:50:10,176
so how would all your uh plants fare are they all like dead everything's dead everything but the

606
00:50:10,176 --> 00:50:19,236
garlic yeah yeah yeah all we have left is onions yeah yeah the the cold hearty stuff right the

607
00:50:19,236 --> 00:50:23,876
stuff that you could literally oh carrots we got carrots still there you go carrots is another good

608
00:50:23,876 --> 00:50:29,776
one right a lot of the root vegetables not a lot and some of the root vegetables will do okay with

609
00:50:29,776 --> 00:50:35,976
that right um bulbs you know stuff like that they they actually prefer cold and you'll get better

610
00:50:35,976 --> 00:50:41,516
onions next year because of that cold spell all right and garlic if you're growing garlic those

611
00:50:41,516 --> 00:50:45,416
bulbs will be better we didn't do garlic because it never really worked out here because it never

612
00:50:45,416 --> 00:50:50,416
got cold enough and now you know one time we skip it this would probably wouldn't be cold enough

613
00:50:50,416 --> 00:50:57,176
yeah yeah have you tried uh uh freezing them for a while yeah that's how we had to get them to uh

614
00:50:57,176 --> 00:51:04,676
to go last time yeah yeah it's it's a weird thing you wouldn't think it but garlic you plant in fall

615
00:51:04,676 --> 00:51:13,216
and you harvest you know in spring kind of late spring yeah early summer depending but uh if you

616
00:51:13,216 --> 00:51:18,536
if you don't get a cold enough winter the garlic just goes you could think these you know there's

617
00:51:18,536 --> 00:51:25,836
your bulb of garlic it's tiny right like wow but if you get a good freeze you know there's other

618
00:51:25,836 --> 00:51:33,276
things that go into it right like the soil and and you know you know other things but nutrients but

619
00:51:33,276 --> 00:51:40,956
minerals other things but the cold is what matters right when it hits that cold spot and it gets cold

620
00:51:40,956 --> 00:51:47,176
for long enough that's what triggers it when the when it gets warm and it grows like really big

621
00:51:47,176 --> 00:51:54,356
bulbs which is nice we we got some really nice bulbs of garlic last year do you guys take any of

622
00:51:54,356 --> 00:52:02,176
that no oh it was really good i should have snagged some of your sweet potatoes too those look pretty

623
00:52:02,176 --> 00:52:08,836
good yeah they are they're tasty you know they got little ones but i mean they're good they're

624
00:52:08,836 --> 00:52:13,896
just little yeah i mean the little ones are actually pretty cool you know because yeah you

625
00:52:13,896 --> 00:52:18,856
don't really need like a whole sweet potato right and some of them i want one dude that's you know

626
00:52:18,856 --> 00:52:23,596
like oh those gigantic ones well next year we'll make sure you go home with a few

627
00:52:23,596 --> 00:52:27,696
because we do get some big ones like this.

628
00:52:27,816 --> 00:52:28,436
You saw them.

629
00:52:28,696 --> 00:52:31,916
There's some hefty, hefty sweet potatoes out there.

630
00:52:31,936 --> 00:52:32,836
They're pretty awesome looking.

631
00:52:33,216 --> 00:52:35,976
But the ones that are kind of not super small,

632
00:52:35,976 --> 00:52:41,436
but, you know, maybe a big or so are my favorite.

633
00:52:41,776 --> 00:52:42,556
I think they're the best.

634
00:52:43,716 --> 00:52:43,956
Yeah.

635
00:52:44,076 --> 00:52:45,616
But they're all really good.

636
00:52:46,996 --> 00:52:49,656
We had tomatoes up until this last thing, dude.

637
00:52:49,716 --> 00:52:51,016
Now it's all like nothing.

638
00:52:51,156 --> 00:52:52,516
There's nothing left out there.

639
00:52:52,516 --> 00:52:55,576
It's a wasteland of what once was.

640
00:52:56,376 --> 00:52:57,156
It's compost.

641
00:52:59,156 --> 00:53:00,516
No, literally, man.

642
00:53:01,116 --> 00:53:04,036
She was able to pick off like 20 nice heirlooms.

643
00:53:04,436 --> 00:53:07,996
We haven't had really good experience doing the heirlooms,

644
00:53:08,116 --> 00:53:09,496
but they did really good this year.

645
00:53:09,756 --> 00:53:11,716
And, you know, she picked them off.

646
00:53:11,816 --> 00:53:12,536
They're on the counter.

647
00:53:12,716 --> 00:53:14,336
They're, you know, ripening up in here.

648
00:53:14,936 --> 00:53:17,416
Not ideal, but at least we got something.

649
00:53:17,916 --> 00:53:18,496
No, it's fine.

650
00:53:18,696 --> 00:53:20,056
There's nothing wrong with that at all.

651
00:53:20,056 --> 00:53:26,096
we you know we'll we'll go out and we'll pick typically we we try and pick ripe

652
00:53:26,096 --> 00:53:32,796
but if we're out there picking and one looks like it's you know it's maybe getting you know

653
00:53:32,796 --> 00:53:38,396
like some some things out there trying to eat it before we can or whatever the case is we'll pick

654
00:53:38,396 --> 00:53:43,516
them half ripe bring them in all right they'll they'll ripen up fine they taste great it doesn't

655
00:53:43,516 --> 00:53:48,776
doesn't you know the the big difference there is we're not picking them green throwing throwing

656
00:53:48,776 --> 00:53:54,256
them through a distribution channel uh and the other pieces we're growing you know heirloom

657
00:53:54,256 --> 00:54:01,016
varieties non-gmo stuff etc so we don't get the longevity we can't we couldn't ship this stuff

658
00:54:01,016 --> 00:54:08,056
right um but it will ripen in your house and it'll still taste you know pretty close to a fresh ripe

659
00:54:08,056 --> 00:54:13,896
ripened on the vine one right as opposed to a store-bought one which tastes like

660
00:54:13,896 --> 00:54:19,636
sadness, a lot of sadness. I can't eat the store bought ones. They're terrible.

661
00:54:20,596 --> 00:54:25,516
Seriously. Like we'll, you know, every once in a while we'll, we'll have a salad and we don't have

662
00:54:25,516 --> 00:54:31,176
tomatoes available. Uh, and, and my wife will go get some, you know, tomatoes from the store,

663
00:54:31,256 --> 00:54:35,976
even the organic ones. Uh, cause that's what we do. If we're going to buy produce, we're,

664
00:54:35,976 --> 00:54:39,096
we're looking for the stuff that has the least amount of

665
00:54:41,336 --> 00:54:51,016
death involved um and so sorry that was a little but it's true uh but you know she'll be like yeah

666
00:54:51,016 --> 00:54:58,536
they're they're good but she liked tomatoes right i didn't and i love tomatoes that are homegrown

667
00:54:58,536 --> 00:55:05,016
or fresh tomatoes like from the farmer's market stuff like that but store-bought tomatoes i can

668
00:55:05,016 --> 00:55:10,416
tell them like that right and uh she'll buy them she'll be like yeah these are actually pretty good

669
00:55:10,416 --> 00:55:17,076
and i'll take a bite and i'm like nope but they look pretty they do they look really pretty um

670
00:55:17,076 --> 00:55:25,596
draw a uniform and the same color and yep yep exactly they look good on the shelf they look

671
00:55:25,596 --> 00:55:33,456
they look good in the bowl or whatever you get them on isn't it funny like you know i think about

672
00:55:33,456 --> 00:55:41,056
that right i i you know even today and i know better i wouldn't go into a store and look at

673
00:55:41,056 --> 00:55:49,756
at you know varied size uniformity coloration produce and be like oh yeah i'm gonna take that

674
00:55:49,756 --> 00:55:54,896
yeah i'm gonna take the pretty stuff right of course i think it's just human nature man

675
00:55:54,896 --> 00:56:02,976
but when i'm at home the varied size color non-uniform all that stuff doesn't even enter

676
00:56:02,976 --> 00:56:11,256
my brain i'm like oh look and it's good it's it's a weird human psychology it's like our apples like

677
00:56:11,256 --> 00:56:18,216
i was telling you right we don't do anything like spraying crap on our our our plants um so the

678
00:56:18,216 --> 00:56:25,876
apples suffer a little bit and they don't come out like big beautiful super pretty apples because

679
00:56:25,876 --> 00:56:32,396
they're not loaded with pesticides and herbicides and fungicides and you know all that good stuff

680
00:56:32,396 --> 00:56:39,036
and so they're ugly on the outside you'd look at it and go that needs to be washed it's washed

681
00:56:39,036 --> 00:56:44,516
it's fine and you but if you cut into it and ignore what your eyes are telling you

682
00:56:44,516 --> 00:56:53,916
it's amazing it's a Fuji apple and it's freaking good it's really good you know so yeah maybe you

683
00:56:53,916 --> 00:57:01,056
need like a you know 18 coatings of that wax stuff that that stuff's so nasty yeah that's

684
00:57:01,056 --> 00:57:10,096
that's one of those things. I just, I think food distribution is necessary in, in some areas of

685
00:57:10,096 --> 00:57:18,356
the world. And I think it's, it's a, it's a bonus that, you know, is neat to have, but the way that

686
00:57:18,356 --> 00:57:26,996
we do it, I think is, is bad for our health and bad for, well, it's bad for our health in general,

687
00:57:26,996 --> 00:57:32,936
But it's just, it's bad for the plant nutrients.

688
00:57:33,176 --> 00:57:41,836
It's bad for, you know, if you're thinking, you know, and I'm not like some super environmentalist person.

689
00:57:42,296 --> 00:57:46,076
But, you know, less damage, less harm is always good, right?

690
00:57:48,636 --> 00:57:52,076
And you're thinking about these tomatoes that you just got at the store.

691
00:57:52,076 --> 00:58:02,616
But what you don't realize is those were maybe grown in Mexico and then shipped to California where they were warehoused and then shipped out to a distribution center in the Midwest.

692
00:58:02,836 --> 00:58:09,836
And then from there shipped out to your local grocery stores distribution center.

693
00:58:09,976 --> 00:58:18,636
And then from there shipped out to all the different grocery stores in your area where then you go and get your tomatoes and bring them back home.

694
00:58:18,636 --> 00:58:31,096
now i'm a big fan of eat in season and locally and i think it's good for your body uh it's good

695
00:58:31,096 --> 00:58:37,556
for the nutrients of the plant because the plant is growing in its optimal time and space and

696
00:58:37,556 --> 00:58:47,056
you're getting the the the benefit of that right so yeah no i i get why they do stuff like that

697
00:58:47,056 --> 00:58:52,796
wax on the apples i mean because weeks or months later they still look like they just picked them

698
00:58:52,796 --> 00:58:56,496
but you know like when you scratch that stuff off with your fingernail it's just it's gross to me

699
00:58:56,496 --> 00:59:01,556
and then you cut it open like i've had ones like the seeds are half sprouted into trees inside the

700
00:59:01,556 --> 00:59:08,216
thing and you never know it by looking on the outside no my my wife had brought some home

701
00:59:08,216 --> 00:59:09,516
They looked very delicious.

702
00:59:10,276 --> 00:59:14,476
And so she cut into one.

703
00:59:16,116 --> 00:59:18,736
And I went, I was going to have a piece.

704
00:59:18,836 --> 00:59:20,556
And I brought it up to my face.

705
00:59:20,576 --> 00:59:21,736
And I was like, whoa.

706
00:59:22,456 --> 00:59:24,356
The apple was fermenting.

707
00:59:25,036 --> 00:59:25,516
Nice.

708
00:59:25,856 --> 00:59:29,476
Inside of its little shell that they put on it.

709
00:59:29,736 --> 00:59:32,256
So, yeah, I'm not a big fan of that crap.

710
00:59:33,196 --> 00:59:34,796
Fermented foods are good for you, right?

711
00:59:35,136 --> 00:59:36,396
Yeah, not in that way.

712
00:59:36,856 --> 00:59:37,876
Not in that way.

713
00:59:37,876 --> 00:59:41,996
There's a way to ferment foods that makes them good for you.

714
00:59:42,216 --> 00:59:43,156
That's not it.

715
00:59:43,436 --> 00:59:45,316
That's just pure rotting.

716
00:59:45,896 --> 00:59:46,616
You know what I mean?

717
00:59:47,416 --> 00:59:47,936
Yeah.

718
00:59:48,436 --> 00:59:51,196
So, yeah, it's weird.

719
00:59:51,996 --> 00:59:55,256
And buy local, buy in season.

720
00:59:55,936 --> 00:59:56,936
If you can, right?

721
00:59:57,056 --> 01:00:01,296
And I'm not saying, hey, every once in a while you don't splurge or do whatever.

722
01:00:01,296 --> 01:00:09,016
but i think we get all too dependent on stuff that doesn't exist normally in the time we're

723
01:00:09,016 --> 01:00:15,396
eating it avocados yeah really big one avocados you're not getting out look it's winter man

724
01:00:15,396 --> 01:00:25,296
what the hell you know so yeah and now my wife went through a big avocado kick for a while i

725
01:00:25,296 --> 01:00:31,236
mean they're very good for you but but the problem like you'll get them and i don't understand how

726
01:00:31,236 --> 01:00:36,276
they pick them or ship them or store them or whatever, but like within a couple of days,

727
01:00:36,336 --> 01:00:41,016
they're like rotten. I don't, I don't understand, but they look pretty good on the outside.

728
01:00:41,256 --> 01:00:46,496
I'm sure they coat them with something too. Yeah. I am not certain what they do to process

729
01:00:46,496 --> 01:00:51,876
them. I haven't really dug into it. Um, but you know, avocado is one of those fruits that you pick

730
01:00:51,876 --> 01:00:57,476
when it, you know, when it's ripe or very close to ripe and it ripens pretty quick. It's, it's not

731
01:00:57,476 --> 01:01:04,656
something that is naturally able to just sit on your shelf like a sweet potato or an onion or

732
01:01:04,656 --> 01:01:11,956
even a carrot or something like that it's not designed for that never was you know and the

733
01:01:11,956 --> 01:01:23,456
the spanish name for them is aguacate they they use up a lot of water okay agua water i don't know

734
01:01:23,456 --> 01:01:29,236
I know that it's very difficult to find the balance between, like, the ones you buy at the store.

735
01:01:29,336 --> 01:01:35,836
They're either rock hard, like they pick them way under ripe, or they're, like, halfway to rotting away.

736
01:01:36,056 --> 01:01:40,316
It's almost impossible to find them, like, good.

737
01:01:40,936 --> 01:01:48,776
Yeah, you can just grab the rock hard one, throw it in a paper bag, close the paper bag, and check it every day.

738
01:01:50,216 --> 01:01:51,236
That works.

739
01:01:51,656 --> 01:01:52,796
Yeah, it works really well.

740
01:01:52,796 --> 01:02:02,016
yeah okay yep it's the easiest way to do it um but yeah we also a lot of the times we go to

741
01:02:02,016 --> 01:02:10,396
uh one of the you know hispanic markets and they'll have their produce in general is uh

742
01:02:10,396 --> 01:02:16,336
not as uniform it's not as pretty but it's good it's really is that local stuff or they bring it

743
01:02:16,336 --> 01:02:22,056
in from somewhere else it's usually local okay well some of it's probably being brought in as

744
01:02:22,056 --> 01:02:37,934
well but you know it skipping you know it it got a different distribution network Yeah I mean that the other thing about these farmers markets How do you know where that stuff actually coming from Because I seen news kind of report things

745
01:02:38,194 --> 01:02:39,554
and then people are just a lot.

746
01:02:39,674 --> 01:02:42,074
Some of them are bringing them in from just food distributors

747
01:02:42,074 --> 01:02:46,554
and saying, well, this is local farm grown, which it wasn't.

748
01:02:47,214 --> 01:02:48,434
Well, here's your first clue.

749
01:02:49,254 --> 01:02:50,334
You look through their produce.

750
01:02:50,334 --> 01:02:52,534
If it's got those little stickers on it.

751
01:02:52,674 --> 01:02:53,114
Right.

752
01:02:53,114 --> 01:02:59,454
it didn't come from a farm nearby that's a good clue right that's a clue and if you see that kind

753
01:02:59,454 --> 01:03:08,374
of stuff in a farm stand avoid that farm stand or go up and talk to them what of this produce

754
01:03:08,374 --> 01:03:14,014
is from local farms all right and if they point to the stuff with stickers on it just go no no no

755
01:03:14,014 --> 01:03:21,954
i didn't say local distribution center i meant local farms and and that's the easiest way if you

756
01:03:21,954 --> 01:03:28,734
find a good farm stand or a farmer's market, the people there, uh, by and large, typically

757
01:03:28,734 --> 01:03:29,994
are local farmers.

758
01:03:29,994 --> 01:03:33,494
They're bringing in their produce from their farm to sell it.

759
01:03:33,494 --> 01:03:33,974
Okay.

760
01:03:34,414 --> 01:03:34,794
Okay.

761
01:03:35,174 --> 01:03:44,314
But they will have corporate farms, uh, you know, corporate ag, you know, uh, people,

762
01:03:44,514 --> 01:03:48,634
um, and all that other stuff that'll be doing the same thing, right?

763
01:03:48,654 --> 01:03:51,174
They're trying to sell more product.

764
01:03:51,174 --> 01:03:57,294
it doesn't necessarily mean it's bad but the big thing is if you could talk to those people most of

765
01:03:57,294 --> 01:04:02,354
them would be more than happy land you can come on out and check out our operation and if you find

766
01:04:02,354 --> 01:04:09,314
someone that's willing to do that with you you're in you know right off the bat i'd say you're in

767
01:04:09,314 --> 01:04:14,114
better in a better place because none of these corporate people are going to do that they're

768
01:04:14,114 --> 01:04:21,914
just no of course no no i know around here a lot of the uh farmers they tend to specialize in

769
01:04:21,914 --> 01:04:27,634
primarily one thing whether like strawberries are big blueberries yeah and then the other stuff

770
01:04:27,634 --> 01:04:34,774
i don't really know where it comes from but not from there yeah this and there's so

771
01:04:34,774 --> 01:04:43,294
that's all monoculture right you're talking about a farmer that grows strawberries a farmer that

772
01:04:43,294 --> 01:04:49,714
grows blueberries, a farmer that grows whatever. And, and I'm, I will say that that doesn't

773
01:04:49,714 --> 01:04:56,514
necessarily equate to bad things. It doesn't, right? Someone may just be really good at growing

774
01:04:56,514 --> 01:05:01,414
blueberries and that's what they do. And they, they have a great practice and they, you know,

775
01:05:01,434 --> 01:05:07,014
they're giving, you know, back to the earth when they're doing it, you know, through regenerative

776
01:05:07,014 --> 01:05:12,754
agriculture. Um, and they're making sure the soil is fed. They're doing the right things in my

777
01:05:12,754 --> 01:05:20,794
opinion but it's also kind of one of those things that makes me go i need to dig in here because

778
01:05:20,794 --> 01:05:30,234
all of corporate ag is based on monoculture all of it right yeah huge fields of one crop right

779
01:05:30,234 --> 01:05:37,734
now they're you know that's that's where you know it's a it's a hit or miss but a lot of the farm

780
01:05:37,734 --> 01:05:43,394
you'll find they're bringing in from their farm, their farm, and you'll find a variety of different

781
01:05:43,394 --> 01:05:51,334
things. And, you know, that's kind of what I tend to gravitate towards for diversity of,

782
01:05:51,334 --> 01:05:57,694
of foodstuffs, but also because, you know, it's more likely that people that are doing that

783
01:05:57,694 --> 01:06:03,434
are practicing the type of practice that I would, I would like, and I'll talk to them as well.

784
01:06:03,434 --> 01:06:07,694
you know what do you do how do you do what do you do for compost you know

785
01:06:07,694 --> 01:06:14,114
are you you know how do you control pests you know i i want to know that how do you control pests

786
01:06:14,114 --> 01:06:19,394
and if you tell me that well you're using you know an agricultural spray i'm going to be like

787
01:06:19,394 --> 01:06:25,934
okay well thank you appreciate your time have fun i don't want it you know i'll take the ugly

788
01:06:25,934 --> 01:06:32,954
blemished fruit i'm like if i walk here's another thing right heirlooms of especially tomatoes

789
01:06:32,954 --> 01:06:38,674
are not the prettiest tomatoes but i will tell you no no of course not i will tell you this they

790
01:06:38,674 --> 01:06:47,114
are the absolute best freaking tomatoes in the world man um and so you know i'm the i'm the kind

791
01:06:47,114 --> 01:06:50,994
of person i see heirlooms out there that i'm going to gravitate towards that as well they're

792
01:06:50,994 --> 01:06:58,794
harder to grow they produce less uh they're more costly and they're ugly so you walk up and this

793
01:06:58,794 --> 01:07:05,134
things all you know dented and odd shaped and you know it's got holes in the top and you're like ah

794
01:07:05,134 --> 01:07:11,934
that looks like it's bad it's not it's really really really good try it i promise you and if

795
01:07:11,934 --> 01:07:20,094
like the cherokee purples or the brandy wines oh man those are good she's got the yellow ones that

796
01:07:20,094 --> 01:07:25,854
are she really likes i don't remember what they're called but oh yeah yeah we haven't really delved

797
01:07:25,854 --> 01:07:33,494
into those ourselves just because we've got enough variety of tomato and we plant a lot of tomato

798
01:07:33,494 --> 01:07:39,754
and then you have those uh whether the chadwicks that just take over everything they're like hey

799
01:07:39,754 --> 01:07:47,294
i'm here yeah those chadwick cherry tomatoes i think i bought 15 seeds off of someone and i can't

800
01:07:47,294 --> 01:07:53,774
you you cannot get rid of these they they they it's impossible you you just can't they will grow

801
01:07:53,774 --> 01:08:01,574
everywhere every freaking where in your compost piles in your walk aisles out on the field that

802
01:08:01,574 --> 01:08:06,934
you're just going to find chadwick cherries popping up every freaking where and you've seen it

803
01:08:06,934 --> 01:08:11,734
right we go walking out there is oh there's tomato plant there's another tomato plant oh and there's

804
01:08:11,734 --> 01:08:17,714
one over there there's one over there they're just we're gonna grow right yeah we're never

805
01:08:17,714 --> 01:08:21,674
gonna have to worry about never having any tomatoes because those things will always be

806
01:08:21,674 --> 01:08:28,654
there right and you guys you you're primarily raised beds and you experience it as well so

807
01:08:28,654 --> 01:08:34,774
oh of course yeah yeah it's not just oh you know oh well you're talking about on a farm and a field

808
01:08:34,774 --> 01:08:41,274
no literally raised beds same thing i've got a raised bed here that i've i we've gotten three

809
01:08:41,274 --> 01:08:50,074
years of tomatoes out of it i only planted one tomato plant one year that's it they just

810
01:08:50,074 --> 01:08:56,174
boop more more more more they they jump beds too i don't know if like the squirrels are grabbing

811
01:08:56,174 --> 01:09:02,334
them and like eating a little bit and leaving but yeah they they just come up volunteers everywhere

812
01:09:02,334 --> 01:09:06,014
yeah i think i'm not complaining i mean you can take them out if you want but yeah

813
01:09:06,014 --> 01:09:14,474
yeah i think it's i think it's birds oh birds okay yeah and and i'm i'm you know if i go to

814
01:09:14,474 --> 01:09:21,194
pick one and it's you know it's past it's you know it's past its expiration date i just toss it

815
01:09:21,194 --> 01:09:29,614
anymore i don't care i have just more tomatoes over there where do we know tomatoes nice nice

816
01:09:29,614 --> 01:09:36,574
it works you know it really does it's amazing how how resilient and and willing to volunteer

817
01:09:36,574 --> 01:09:44,314
those things are they they're pretty awesome nice well i got some home improvement projects

818
01:09:44,314 --> 01:09:44,954
to do today.

819
01:09:45,474 --> 01:09:46,314
I don't know.

820
01:09:47,754 --> 01:09:48,894
Maybe you can...

821
01:09:48,894 --> 01:09:51,274
Do you have any final thoughts on this stuff?

822
01:09:52,554 --> 01:09:53,414
What do you got?

823
01:09:54,294 --> 01:09:54,854
I got to

824
01:09:54,854 --> 01:09:59,854
replace the transition

825
01:09:59,854 --> 01:10:01,994
from the wood flooring

826
01:10:01,994 --> 01:10:04,054
to the tile flooring

827
01:10:04,054 --> 01:10:04,554
in the kitchen.

828
01:10:04,554 --> 01:10:06,474
I got that half taken apart.

829
01:10:07,314 --> 01:10:07,954
Okay.

830
01:10:08,694 --> 01:10:10,654
I got to clean the chicken coop out.

831
01:10:12,874 --> 01:10:13,474
Yeah.

832
01:10:13,474 --> 01:10:13,574
Yeah.

833
01:10:14,034 --> 01:10:14,434
Combos.

834
01:10:14,454 --> 01:10:20,354
They've been kind of locked up in there with the, I blocked the windows off and put some cardboard on the floor.

835
01:10:20,614 --> 01:10:22,254
So, yeah, it was cold, windy.

836
01:10:23,854 --> 01:10:25,514
It wasn't that cold or windy.

837
01:10:26,274 --> 01:10:26,814
It was.

838
01:10:26,854 --> 01:10:27,834
It was down in the teens.

839
01:10:29,514 --> 01:10:30,434
We got Florida chickens.

840
01:10:30,554 --> 01:10:30,914
They're wimps.

841
01:10:31,434 --> 01:10:32,274
They're not.

842
01:10:32,774 --> 01:10:34,114
They really aren't.

843
01:10:34,174 --> 01:10:35,194
I promise you.

844
01:10:35,814 --> 01:10:37,794
I mean, I didn't put a heater out there, but.

845
01:10:39,514 --> 01:10:40,914
If you had one, you would have.

846
01:10:41,774 --> 01:10:42,134
No.

847
01:10:43,474 --> 01:10:44,454
I didn't go that far.

848
01:10:46,134 --> 01:10:53,094
Our coop, my wife was down there, opened the door and walked in.

849
01:10:53,454 --> 01:10:55,774
She was like, oh my gosh, it's so warm in here.

850
01:10:56,314 --> 01:10:58,514
It was like nine degrees.

851
01:10:58,794 --> 01:11:01,614
I think it was 13 that morning when she went.

852
01:11:01,634 --> 01:11:02,214
Just from them?

853
01:11:02,754 --> 01:11:02,954
Yeah.

854
01:11:03,834 --> 01:11:04,334
Oh, wow.

855
01:11:04,874 --> 01:11:06,614
Them, their poop, their bedding.

856
01:11:07,574 --> 01:11:08,894
They don't need it.

857
01:11:09,774 --> 01:11:12,494
Honestly, they don't need a heat source.

858
01:11:12,494 --> 01:11:21,754
Now, if you're worried about, you know, you could certainly suffer some damage to a chicken, especially a rooster, but you don't have any roosters.

859
01:11:22,654 --> 01:11:24,634
Like you can get frostbite on a comb.

860
01:11:25,114 --> 01:11:26,314
That you can get.

861
01:11:27,074 --> 01:11:34,014
But hens are very unlikely to succumb to that because their comb is so close to their head.

862
01:11:34,954 --> 01:11:37,694
So we did have two chickens.

863
01:11:37,694 --> 01:11:45,994
my wife goes oh my gosh look at the chickens and i looked over there we've got you know several

864
01:11:45,994 --> 01:11:51,554
freedom chickens we call them they you know you can put them back in with the other chickens and

865
01:11:51,554 --> 01:11:57,374
they just not and fly over the fence and they're like we want to live out here okay so we have uh

866
01:11:57,374 --> 01:12:03,474
mobile chicken coops or chicken tractors as they're called and they just took up home in this

867
01:12:03,474 --> 01:12:12,134
one and they just sit next to each other on a perch bar in there and uh we she said look at the

868
01:12:12,134 --> 01:12:22,334
chickens there's a an aracana chicken on the perch and there's a bielefelder on top of the

869
01:12:22,334 --> 01:12:31,854
aracana perch on the other chicken and the aracana had its head up under the bielefelder

870
01:12:31,854 --> 01:12:35,214
and the Beelfelder, if you're not aware,

871
01:12:35,414 --> 01:12:37,194
chickens can kind of retract their head

872
01:12:37,194 --> 01:12:38,794
into their feather stuffs.

873
01:12:39,714 --> 01:12:41,834
And it's like that, right?

874
01:12:41,934 --> 01:12:44,194
And I walked up and it was just hilarious

875
01:12:44,194 --> 01:12:46,754
because it was just this ball of chicken.

876
01:12:47,014 --> 01:12:48,534
It was the weirdest thing.

877
01:12:48,934 --> 01:12:51,234
Never seen chicken perch on another chicken before.

878
01:12:51,234 --> 01:12:52,474
Yeah, I didn't know they did that.

879
01:12:52,614 --> 01:12:54,754
They seem very comfortable with it too.

880
01:12:55,374 --> 01:12:56,194
All right.

881
01:12:57,374 --> 01:12:57,854
Weird.

882
01:12:58,114 --> 01:12:58,854
Should get a picture.

883
01:12:59,374 --> 01:13:01,294
Yeah, I got one, but it's pretty bad.

884
01:13:01,294 --> 01:13:07,514
i'll see maybe i'll post it up here it's hard to see i think because there's hardware clopping

885
01:13:07,514 --> 01:13:13,594
between my camera and if i had walked in the door which was open right they didn't close those

886
01:13:13,594 --> 01:13:18,714
if i had walked in the door then they would have freaked out a little bit and probably

887
01:13:18,714 --> 01:13:20,874
de-perched their situation

888
01:13:20,874 --> 01:13:30,954
that's funny but it was funny so yeah um no i i think i'm i'm out of uh

889
01:13:30,954 --> 01:13:38,314
ideas and and stuff to talk about at this point not really but you know interesting stuff maybe

890
01:13:38,314 --> 01:13:45,914
i don't want no i'm not going to do it go ahead no it's okay well you can't do that

891
01:13:47,514 --> 01:13:53,714
it's illegal talk about the government no i'm having a good day man i'm having a good day right

892
01:13:53,714 --> 01:14:00,874
that always gets you going it does but i'm having a good day today's puppies puppies and

893
01:14:00,874 --> 01:14:07,154
speaking of it we're getting close to garden time and i'm trying to figure out if i'm gonna

894
01:14:07,154 --> 01:14:16,194
start off a hundred or maybe go up to 144 tomato plants what do you think wow nice i always do that

895
01:14:16,194 --> 01:14:24,894
i mean the the high tunnel alone usually takes 72 of them how did that hold up with the ice and

896
01:14:24,894 --> 01:14:31,374
snow and stuff really well actually oh okay good other than one instance where banging ice

897
01:14:31,374 --> 01:14:39,934
getting ice up off the sheeting so for the snow no big deal for the ice though we had to break

898
01:14:39,934 --> 01:14:46,254
the ice off because ice is really heavy right and so we're we're trying to bang the ice off and it

899
01:14:46,254 --> 01:14:53,534
flips up and ice doesn't just land flat all the time apparently so there's some little holes from

900
01:14:53,534 --> 01:14:59,894
the ice how do you patch them uh there's a tape like a special tape yeah there's a tape that we

901
01:14:59,894 --> 01:15:07,094
have i have a roll of it it's you know probably you know six inches wide okay and it's just you

902
01:15:07,094 --> 01:15:16,274
know uh uh poly tape i don't remember what the second part of poly is on this but yeah all right

903
01:15:16,274 --> 01:15:22,694
nice yeah so i'm excited i'm glad it didn't blow away we had some pretty windy

904
01:15:22,694 --> 01:15:30,354
like 40 50 mile an hour gust i think won't blow away in the worst case it would shred the uh

905
01:15:30,354 --> 01:15:31,614
the poly on it,

906
01:15:31,694 --> 01:15:33,034
but it won't be all right.

907
01:15:33,414 --> 01:15:34,674
That thing's in the ground.

908
01:15:35,114 --> 01:15:35,274
Yeah.

909
01:15:36,274 --> 01:15:37,154
It's nice.

910
01:15:37,594 --> 01:15:37,774
Pretty,

911
01:15:37,854 --> 01:15:38,934
pretty strong frame.

912
01:15:39,574 --> 01:15:39,754
So,

913
01:15:40,654 --> 01:15:41,274
yeah.

914
01:15:42,054 --> 01:15:43,614
So I'm excited about that.

915
01:15:43,654 --> 01:15:44,074
I'm excited.

916
01:15:44,194 --> 01:15:45,874
The gardening season's almost here.

917
01:15:45,974 --> 01:15:49,214
We get to start growing food again and fresh,

918
01:15:49,214 --> 01:15:54,074
yummy vegetables is one of my favorite things.

919
01:15:54,974 --> 01:15:55,534
Mm-hmm.

920
01:15:55,854 --> 01:15:56,294
Yeah.

921
01:15:57,414 --> 01:15:58,234
And then.

922
01:15:58,414 --> 01:15:58,754
Me too.

923
01:15:58,754 --> 01:16:01,974
meat chickens and hopefully

924
01:16:01,974 --> 01:16:03,734
meat goats.

925
01:16:04,614 --> 01:16:06,254
Oh, we're going to have a big processing day?

926
01:16:07,414 --> 01:16:08,394
Is it about that time?

927
01:16:08,674 --> 01:16:10,414
We were supposed to get three meat goats

928
01:16:10,414 --> 01:16:11,474
last year and

929
01:16:11,474 --> 01:16:15,814
things fell through.

930
01:16:16,534 --> 01:16:18,314
Which was a bummer

931
01:16:18,314 --> 01:16:20,474
because we ordered them well in advance

932
01:16:20,474 --> 01:16:20,834
but

933
01:16:20,834 --> 01:16:23,014
life happens.

934
01:16:23,814 --> 01:16:25,614
So this year we'll probably

935
01:16:25,614 --> 01:16:27,734
grab three Boer

936
01:16:27,734 --> 01:16:32,234
boats, which are good big fat

937
01:16:32,234 --> 01:16:33,434
goats for meat.

938
01:16:36,054 --> 01:16:40,074
We're going to start up a second flock again

939
01:16:40,074 --> 01:16:41,194
for meat birds.

940
01:16:44,094 --> 01:16:47,414
See if we can't hatch out about

941
01:16:47,414 --> 01:16:52,094
probably 120 birds a year, end up

942
01:16:52,094 --> 01:16:53,894
culling probably

943
01:16:53,894 --> 01:16:58,934
80 of them or so would be would be what i'd like to see

944
01:16:58,934 --> 01:17:08,114
clean up those freezers yeah well the chest freezers yeah it's diminishing rapidly

945
01:17:08,114 --> 01:17:14,554
now we pretty much just use the stand-up freezer it's it's okay so much better to deal with

946
01:17:14,554 --> 01:17:19,614
but when when we start doing things when we start getting the chicken culling going

947
01:17:19,614 --> 01:17:25,914
that that will obviously that and the goats will fill that chest freezer for sure quickly

948
01:17:25,914 --> 01:17:35,314
yeah go through it for a few weeks at one point in the year and then uh stock food for the year

949
01:17:35,314 --> 01:17:42,194
basically you know i think 80 chickens is probably a little too much for us but it's one of these

950
01:17:42,194 --> 01:17:52,354
things, you know, it doesn't always work out the way you want it to. Right. So if we plan,

951
01:17:52,594 --> 01:17:57,574
you plan for an overage and, you know, hopefully you end up hitting your target

952
01:17:57,574 --> 01:18:04,614
kind of the way it goes, you know, between predation and, you know, all the other stuff

953
01:18:04,614 --> 01:18:07,254
that comes along that inhibits life,

954
01:18:08,694 --> 01:18:12,454
you're likely to suffer some losses,

955
01:18:12,734 --> 01:18:13,594
and that's okay.

956
01:18:14,214 --> 01:18:15,094
It's just life.

957
01:18:16,274 --> 01:18:16,494
Yeah.

958
01:18:17,694 --> 01:18:19,234
Well, you got a plan in place.

959
01:18:19,654 --> 01:18:19,994
Oh, yeah.

960
01:18:21,054 --> 01:18:21,774
Oh, yeah.

961
01:18:22,554 --> 01:18:24,894
Plan, equipment, know-how, knowledge.

962
01:18:24,894 --> 01:18:27,074
I'm just happy our chicken started laying eggs again.

963
01:18:27,834 --> 01:18:29,194
Yeah, that's nice.

964
01:18:29,294 --> 01:18:30,774
They're on strike for a little while, I guess.

965
01:18:31,374 --> 01:18:33,094
Yeah, they do that in the wintertime.

966
01:18:33,094 --> 01:18:34,774
It's just what they do.

967
01:18:35,314 --> 01:18:40,094
Nothing worse than coming into winter and it's like, there's no eggs.

968
01:18:40,454 --> 01:18:42,174
We got to buy eggs.

969
01:18:42,734 --> 01:18:44,194
I don't want to buy eggs.

970
01:18:45,394 --> 01:18:46,334
It's stupid.

971
01:18:46,454 --> 01:18:47,254
I'm feeding you.

972
01:18:47,654 --> 01:18:49,394
Please give me some food.

973
01:18:51,934 --> 01:18:53,194
That's a bonus.

974
01:18:53,814 --> 01:18:54,874
It really is.

975
01:18:55,094 --> 01:18:56,434
I love eggs.

976
01:18:56,434 --> 01:19:01,794
I probably, you know, really not every day, but, you know, I probably eat.

977
01:19:03,094 --> 01:19:06,814
yeah, well over a dozen a week.

978
01:19:07,714 --> 01:19:08,514
Oh, wow, nice.

979
01:19:08,614 --> 01:19:09,234
Yeah, for sure.

980
01:19:10,274 --> 01:19:11,314
Well, they're easy.

981
01:19:11,434 --> 01:19:11,974
They're convenient.

982
01:19:12,534 --> 01:19:14,314
I can hard boil a dozen of them

983
01:19:14,314 --> 01:19:15,314
and just have them in there,

984
01:19:15,434 --> 01:19:16,494
pop three of them out,

985
01:19:16,694 --> 01:19:18,394
and snack on eggs.

986
01:19:18,914 --> 01:19:20,374
I like them fried, scrambled.

987
01:19:21,154 --> 01:19:23,794
I like them in a frittata.

988
01:19:23,794 --> 01:19:25,454
It's a wonderful thing.

989
01:19:26,254 --> 01:19:28,014
You know, so all this stuff, yeah.

990
01:19:28,274 --> 01:19:29,854
Especially when we get fresh vegetables

991
01:19:29,854 --> 01:19:32,614
and you throw some fresh vegetables in there

992
01:19:32,614 --> 01:19:37,614
with maybe breakfast meat and some cheese and poof.

993
01:19:38,634 --> 01:19:39,674
Egg cake.

994
01:19:41,074 --> 01:19:43,614
You could be like Bubba Egg Gump or something.

995
01:19:43,914 --> 01:19:45,694
I like fried eggs.

996
01:19:45,854 --> 01:19:47,034
I like boiled eggs.

997
01:19:47,194 --> 01:19:49,314
I like scrambled eggs.

998
01:19:50,254 --> 01:19:52,274
Pickled eggs, poached eggs.

999
01:19:52,494 --> 01:19:53,034
Yeah, right?

1000
01:19:53,034 --> 01:19:53,874
You could.

1001
01:19:53,974 --> 01:19:56,814
You could go on for quite a while on that one.

1002
01:19:59,694 --> 01:20:02,034
Egg whites, egg yolks.

1003
01:20:02,614 --> 01:20:05,674
but with fermented eggs,

1004
01:20:06,134 --> 01:20:07,214
pickled eggs.

1005
01:20:08,094 --> 01:20:09,094
Can you ferment eggs?

1006
01:20:09,494 --> 01:20:09,674
Yeah.

1007
01:20:10,454 --> 01:20:11,014
Really?

1008
01:20:11,254 --> 01:20:12,074
Yeah, you can.

1009
01:20:12,614 --> 01:20:13,974
You can ferment everything, I guess.

1010
01:20:14,054 --> 01:20:15,474
You can ferment like the yolks

1011
01:20:15,474 --> 01:20:20,414
and the Filipinos ferment whole eggs

1012
01:20:20,414 --> 01:20:21,894
with the embryo in them.

1013
01:20:21,894 --> 01:20:24,554
It's called a balut.

1014
01:20:26,914 --> 01:20:29,054
Absolutely disgusting to think about it,

1015
01:20:29,174 --> 01:20:30,714
but they're actually pretty good.

1016
01:20:30,714 --> 01:20:31,414
Yeah, I'll pass on that one.

1017
01:20:31,414 --> 01:20:32,854
They're actually pretty good.

1018
01:20:33,014 --> 01:20:36,034
I had one once, but it's disgusting to think about.

1019
01:20:36,134 --> 01:20:37,314
And I don't think I want one again.

1020
01:20:37,474 --> 01:20:41,154
It has nothing to do with the fact that it wasn't bad.

1021
01:20:41,214 --> 01:20:41,734
It was good.

1022
01:20:43,014 --> 01:20:45,574
But the thought of it's kind of disgusting to me.

1023
01:20:46,054 --> 01:20:46,554
It is.

1024
01:20:46,634 --> 01:20:47,354
I don't know.

1025
01:20:47,554 --> 01:20:48,194
It's just me.

1026
01:20:48,214 --> 01:20:48,954
Not even kind of.

1027
01:20:49,074 --> 01:20:49,794
It is.

1028
01:20:50,194 --> 01:20:50,614
Yeah.

1029
01:20:51,834 --> 01:20:52,274
Yeah.

1030
01:20:52,494 --> 01:20:54,334
So, yeah, I'll pass.

1031
01:20:54,494 --> 01:20:56,214
But, you know, I do like my eggs.

1032
01:20:56,394 --> 01:20:57,094
I really do.

1033
01:20:57,814 --> 01:20:58,794
Like potatoes.

1034
01:20:58,794 --> 01:21:02,074
boil them, mash them, put them in

1035
01:21:02,074 --> 01:21:02,454
or stew.

1036
01:21:04,034 --> 01:21:05,474
Have you ever tried iguana eggs?

1037
01:21:05,674 --> 01:21:07,034
I saw that recently on a video.

1038
01:21:07,634 --> 01:21:08,074
No.

1039
01:21:09,674 --> 01:21:10,974
Yeah. Really?

1040
01:21:11,834 --> 01:21:13,554
Well, they had all those iguanas

1041
01:21:13,554 --> 01:21:15,254
falling out of trees because it was so cold.

1042
01:21:15,774 --> 01:21:17,514
They were picking them up off the ground, cooking them,

1043
01:21:17,694 --> 01:21:19,554
and then one was filled with eggs.

1044
01:21:19,554 --> 01:21:21,634
It had like 20 eggs in it.

1045
01:21:21,774 --> 01:21:23,754
And the guy put them in a blender, scrambled them up,

1046
01:21:23,774 --> 01:21:25,654
and ate them. All right. Why not?

1047
01:21:26,534 --> 01:21:27,054
I don't know.

1048
01:21:28,794 --> 01:21:35,634
iguana is probably pretty tasty though i did see some videos of dudes making uh iguana tacos

1049
01:21:35,634 --> 01:21:45,294
i'd be down to try that for sure 100 that's when you go to like visit visiting islands and stuff

1050
01:21:45,294 --> 01:21:49,974
and you look at a menu board and you're like you want chicken or real chicken and you gotta make

1051
01:21:49,974 --> 01:21:55,654
a choice right the chicken of the trees right yeah well chicken of the trees or tree bacon out

1052
01:21:55,654 --> 01:22:03,174
here is a squirrel oh same different i've never had that either it's good it's really good you

1053
01:22:03,174 --> 01:22:09,694
that i have a mutual friend who i know has had squirrel that's true yes yes bird

1054
01:22:09,694 --> 01:22:16,314
yep no it's it's actually really good you would like it i that i can promise you you you would

1055
01:22:16,314 --> 01:22:22,914
really oh yeah absolutely just don't tell me yeah yeah maybe i'll uh see about that i have to figure

1056
01:22:22,914 --> 01:22:28,254
out i don't remember when squirrel season is but it's right around that time so you could probably

1057
01:22:28,254 --> 01:22:33,754
go nab a few and put them in the freezer they're just i i know that they cause damage but they're

1058
01:22:33,754 --> 01:22:38,354
so cute i just i don't know they are but then again i guess cows are kind of cute too and

1059
01:22:38,354 --> 01:22:44,134
pigs and all the all the chickens are kind of cute yeah it's all kind of cute i get over it

1060
01:22:44,134 --> 01:22:50,254
exactly it's it's all kind of cute um but yeah they they you know i'm not i'm not trying

1061
01:22:50,254 --> 01:23:01,374
And so it's, for me, it's one of those things I've had before, but I'm not super, like, it's not something I'm going to go and typically try and get, right?

1062
01:23:01,734 --> 01:23:03,454
But I know how to clean them.

1063
01:23:03,594 --> 01:23:04,874
I know how to cook them.

1064
01:23:04,874 --> 01:23:06,694
And I know they taste really good.

1065
01:23:07,434 --> 01:23:10,134
So, you know, if offered, oh, heck yeah, I'm down.

1066
01:23:10,734 --> 01:23:12,674
And if you want to try them, I'll go get some.

1067
01:23:12,934 --> 01:23:13,254
Clean them.

1068
01:23:13,834 --> 01:23:14,174
Cook them.

1069
01:23:14,794 --> 01:23:15,954
It's pretty dang good.

1070
01:23:19,354 --> 01:23:19,794
Maybe.

1071
01:23:20,352 --> 01:23:20,872
Yeah.

1072
01:23:21,112 --> 01:23:21,912
I'll give you a maybe.

1073
01:23:22,292 --> 01:23:23,332
Yeah, you'll try it.

1074
01:23:24,412 --> 01:23:25,492
Have you had rabbit?

1075
01:23:26,572 --> 01:23:27,712
No, I have not.

1076
01:23:28,052 --> 01:23:31,052
Oh, also very cute and tasty.

1077
01:23:32,312 --> 01:23:34,932
Why are all the cute things so tasty?

1078
01:23:35,412 --> 01:23:36,352
How does that work?

1079
01:23:36,392 --> 01:23:36,992
I don't know.

1080
01:23:37,072 --> 01:23:40,412
But snapping turtle's also very tasty and not cute at all.

1081
01:23:40,792 --> 01:23:41,312
No.

1082
01:23:41,592 --> 01:23:41,872
Yeah.

1083
01:23:41,932 --> 01:23:42,292
No.

1084
01:23:42,632 --> 01:23:42,892
Yeah.

1085
01:23:43,772 --> 01:23:44,712
And that I don't know.

1086
01:23:44,712 --> 01:23:47,912
I had an experience with an alligator snapping turtle.

1087
01:23:47,912 --> 01:23:48,932
That thing was mean.

1088
01:23:48,932 --> 01:23:55,892
they are yeah we have it was like coming after me yeah we have to like we we get them here and

1089
01:23:55,892 --> 01:24:01,932
they come they're they're not usually very big um probably they're they're you know out here

1090
01:24:01,932 --> 01:24:07,212
they're in ponds right so that's going to dictate how big they grow is how big their environment is

1091
01:24:07,212 --> 01:24:13,772
um and so you know we get them out here and they're you know probably you know yay big

1092
01:24:13,772 --> 01:24:22,592
the shell but uh yeah they're they're they're no fun to to mess with yeah this one was pretty large

1093
01:24:22,592 --> 01:24:28,452
i would say probably at least 80 18 inches around maybe maybe bigger than that like i was driving

1094
01:24:28,452 --> 01:24:41,362
down this little back road and there was like a canal and like i tried to move him out of the way so i didn run him over and he he did not appreciate my help yeah i wouldn do that i wouldn leave it

1095
01:24:41,362 --> 01:24:46,922
honestly well because here's the thing you know um it's not just their mouth you have to be careful

1096
01:24:46,922 --> 01:24:54,502
of right they do have claws that's another piece but that tail that tail is armored and nubbed

1097
01:24:54,502 --> 01:25:00,562
with ridges okay and when they you know if you pick them up or do anything like that that tail

1098
01:25:00,562 --> 01:25:06,362
will go whack up against its shell and if your finger happens to be in the way it's not gonna

1099
01:25:06,362 --> 01:25:13,342
be a good day for you really all right yeah so and they hiss at you which is like no he was pretty

1100
01:25:13,342 --> 01:25:20,042
angry yeah yeah yeah it's kind of terrifying you're like okay i don't like you at all so i've

1101
01:25:20,042 --> 01:25:27,962
to take them by shovel and relocate them because we have a fence uh for our dogs our backyard fence

1102
01:25:27,962 --> 01:25:37,662
and apparently they go from one pond to another as a matter of their you know biology or something

1103
01:25:37,662 --> 01:25:54,832
whatever but you know okay this is just something they done probably for you know however many years decades millennia whatever But the fence is in their way So they come up and they hit the fence and they keep going and then they hit the house And then they try and go back across the fence

1104
01:25:55,252 --> 01:25:59,472
And it's like, and then they'll come back and then go the other way and get a visitor.

1105
01:25:59,992 --> 01:26:00,352

1115
01:26:17,272 --> 01:26:23,972
another time we put them in a bucket because it would fit just in the bucket and my wife's like

01:26:23,972 --> 01:26:29,292
you know will you get it and i'm like oh sure but why and she's like well i don't want it to

1117
01:26:29,292 --> 01:26:37,452
jump out at me i'm like oh now there's a whole new level of terror you know a snapping turtle

1118
01:26:37,452 --> 01:26:40,812
that could jump like straight up out of a bucket.

1119
01:26:40,932 --> 01:26:41,312
You never know.

1120
01:26:41,872 --> 01:26:42,972
Yeah, they can't.

1121
01:26:42,972 --> 01:26:47,172
They will try, but they can't jump probably more than an inch or two.

1122
01:26:47,952 --> 01:26:48,732
But they're scary.

1123
01:26:49,212 --> 01:26:51,372
They will take a finger off.

1124
01:26:51,492 --> 01:26:52,752
There's no question about it.

1125
01:26:54,212 --> 01:26:54,792
That's all right.

1126
01:26:54,832 --> 01:26:55,652
