The Alpaca Paradigm

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,140
I can hide behind my microphone now.

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:03,340
No, you can't.

3
00:00:03,340 --> 00:00:04,120
I totally can't.

4
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:04,380
Absolutely.

5
00:00:04,940 --> 00:00:05,300
No.

6
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:06,580
Just like, yeah, you're right.

7
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:07,580
I can kick it out of the way.

8
00:00:07,580 --> 00:00:11,180
On the new, on this edition of the podcast,

9
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,980
the thing behind is microphone.

10
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:14,680
Who?

11
00:00:15,060 --> 00:00:15,740
Who's that?

12
00:00:16,060 --> 00:00:17,160
We'll cut all this out.

13
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:17,720
Havoc.

14
00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:19,100
That Havoc guy.

15
00:00:19,580 --> 00:00:19,780
Damn.

16
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,880
That guy.

17
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,280
Havoc.

18
00:00:22,380 --> 00:00:22,900
That one guy.

19
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:23,940
Do we have a topic?

20
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:25,520
Is there any kind of topic?

21
00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:27,300
Is there ever a topic?

22
00:00:27,860 --> 00:00:28,900
Not when I do it, no.

23
00:00:29,020 --> 00:00:29,420
Same.

24
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,360
that would require planning on my part why would we plan this i mean

25
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:42,160
then it would just go smooth and you know it'd be crazy i am kind of hiding behind my microphone

26
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:51,780
yeah how's that even better my dongle hey come back what my dangle my dongle my dongle dangle

27
00:00:51,780 --> 00:01:01,960
how's that much better yes yeah oh no i'm not hitting so how has alpaca been it's been great

28
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:08,400
alpaca has been fantastic as always yes as always favorite moment so far the painting was interesting

29
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:14,500
i did like painting yeah i really enjoyed it but i gotta be honest with you i was stressed out

30
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:21,020
i had a great time doing it but i just you did a good job it well thank you we all did everyone

31
00:01:21,020 --> 00:01:26,820
did i thought it turned out really amazing can't wait to see it on the wall there i go breathing

32
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:31,540
again i gotta stop doing that well you have to breathe breathing yeah you have to have to

33
00:01:31,540 --> 00:01:38,820
it's a necessity uh right well um yeah but i mean i was really stressed out so it was really kind of

34
00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:45,800
a weird thing to be as stressed as i was but also having fun is that you know what i mean so maybe

35
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,300
Maybe for those who don't know, like, oh, blame the whole alpaca thing.

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,480
So, yeah, how that came to be, perhaps.

37
00:01:53,660 --> 00:01:59,460
Let's let's have ghosts go ahead and clue the audience into what alpaca is.

38
00:01:59,460 --> 00:02:01,180
I don't know that I'm the best person to.

39
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:02,460
You started it.

40
00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:06,640
Well, I was just like, oh, we should get together and pet alpacas.

41
00:02:07,540 --> 00:02:08,500
And then we did.

42
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,300
And who's we?

43
00:02:11,180 --> 00:02:13,820
We want the original list or the list of.

44
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,300
No, just a joke.

45
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,080
How it started?

46
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:19,940
In general, we were playing.

47
00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:24,160
Yeah, we were playing War Dragons on our phones.

48
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,020
Or iPods.

49
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:26,900
A mobile game.

50
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:27,240
iPads.

51
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:28,960
I had a phone back then.

52
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:30,700
You had a phone?

53
00:02:31,140 --> 00:02:32,720
I had an iPhone 6.

54
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,520
Way back when.

55
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,300
That was my last self.

56
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,960
So the no phone thing is a relatively new thing.

57
00:02:40,140 --> 00:02:42,920
When was the iPhone 6 kind of like around?

58
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:44,400
That was the last one I had.

59
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:51,640
i had mine like eight years ago so probably about that yeah i mean i pawned it off of my wife and

60
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:56,860
she used it for a little while so well that's good and then it just kind of stopped working

61
00:02:56,860 --> 00:03:06,400
on everything so anyway mobile gaming and we a bunch of us were on one team but you know friends

62
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:13,820
that you meet through uh online chat apps etc um where we would just banter and share memes and do

63
00:03:13,820 --> 00:03:20,140
stupid stuff and ghost comes up and one day with this great idea we should all get together and go

64
00:03:20,140 --> 00:03:26,940
pet alpacas at an alpaca farm okay well that sounds like a fun day so we started looking into

65
00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:32,660
it and found all these ghost found some alpaca farms you know and and then i ended up finding

66
00:03:32,660 --> 00:03:39,900
one near where i live and so you invited a bunch of strangers to your house yes my wife looked at

67
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:46,840
me and went you what i was like yeah it's fine you don't know any of these people well i've been

68
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:55,340
chatting with them for six years now so i didn't know him kind of so she freaked out everyone coming

69
00:03:55,340 --> 00:04:05,920
freaked out got lost i had a loss right and then and then had to uh spend some time uh de-stressing

70
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,920
after a long drive in a parking lot somewhere,

71
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,220
probably wondering, should I really go?

72
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,560
I don't think this is a good idea.

73
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,040
Yep.

74
00:04:16,460 --> 00:04:22,080
It was, as a matter of fact, somebody else in the game

75
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,240
that told me to go.

76
00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:29,620
They were like, you've already driven an hour and a half.

77
00:04:29,740 --> 00:04:31,380
Like, oh my God, just go.

78
00:04:31,380 --> 00:04:38,000
and that was uh what six this is the sixth year in a row we've been doing this

79
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:45,360
which is awesome so i mean on the on the surface of it it said it sounds like a terrible terrible

80
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:51,880
idea to meet random people on the internet and then go meet them out in the woods and and co

81
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:57,920
cohabitate with them it just sounds absolutely and utterly ridiculous if you say it out loud

82
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:08,480
kind of like a horror movie plot right you know honestly yeah yeah which one of us is the real

83
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:14,560
killer but somehow it it all came together and and sort of worked out right and we we have um

84
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,320
amazingly small uh attrition rate so far

85
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:29,100
yeah and i think we're at the the core group and registration's pretty much closed now i i think

86
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:37,560
for the most part yeah yeah we we have one potential applicant now but they haven't finished

87
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:45,480
the the the tests yet you know it was just a meet and greet next come the tests we'll see if if if

88
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:52,500
they're willing to stick through all the uh the necessary prerequisite are you talking about hazing

89
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:58,660
the initiation ritual i didn't say nowhere did i say hazing hey that would be bad right i mean

90
00:05:58,660 --> 00:06:08,100
that's just nice bless you bless you that was the dog the dog yeah specifically asking people to

91
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:14,840
not make noise apparently is uh i think you need a door on the studio i do i think you are right

92
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:23,380
well you know hey one day well that's what post edits for post-production probably yeah

93
00:06:23,380 --> 00:06:28,880
we'll see how that goes actually this this actually does a really good job counseling out

94
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:37,180
uh you know errant noises so we'll see might not even be in there that would be great now it'll be

95
00:06:37,180 --> 00:06:45,740
in there maybe it does a really good job it really does we'll see you'll have to listen to

96
00:06:45,740 --> 00:06:52,380
the playback at least yeah see how it goes yeah yeah yeah if you look up there you guys can't see

97
00:06:52,380 --> 00:06:57,440
it but we can and we're all looking at something that you can't see and we're not going to show

98
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:04,440
you either because we're looking at this is our stuff if you look up there you see under

99
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,860
on the right hand side it says noise reduction

100
00:07:07,860 --> 00:07:09,160
I see it now

101
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,620
you see it Alex? I see yeah

102
00:07:11,620 --> 00:07:13,680
yeah I turned that on

103
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,560
for one and it does

104
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,620
a pretty bang up job

105
00:07:17,620 --> 00:07:19,980
yeah a little slider bar yeah I see it

106
00:07:19,980 --> 00:07:20,360
yeah

107
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,900
yeah

108
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:24,320
so what did you think of the tacos?

109
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:26,280
they were awesome

110
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,420
yeah

111
00:07:27,420 --> 00:07:28,840
not bad

112
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,320
awesome

113
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,300
I'm not really a big taco

114
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:35,880
fan, but they're good.

115
00:07:36,740 --> 00:07:38,020
I am a big taco fan.

116
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:40,560
I am too.

117
00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:42,100
Most people seem to like them enough.

118
00:07:43,260 --> 00:07:44,220
I love

119
00:07:44,220 --> 00:07:45,040
tacos.

120
00:07:46,780 --> 00:07:48,000
They're so good.

121
00:07:48,220 --> 00:07:49,960
They're like the perfect food, too.

122
00:07:51,340 --> 00:07:52,600
We make fancy tacos.

123
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:54,700
They even have street tacos.

124
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:56,140
They're called street tacos.

125
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,340
Because they're not fancy.

126
00:07:58,980 --> 00:08:00,220
They're just out in the streets.

127
00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:02,180
Yeah.

128
00:08:02,420 --> 00:08:04,120
Walking tacos, apparently.

129
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:05,200
That's a thing.

130
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:07,440
As opposed to sitting tacos.

131
00:08:07,740 --> 00:08:10,680
Is it because you walk around and eat them, or what is the name?

132
00:08:10,820 --> 00:08:12,760
I believe they're in a little bag.

133
00:08:12,860 --> 00:08:15,520
Yeah, it's because it's something you can carry around with you.

134
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,740
I see, I see.

135
00:08:16,740 --> 00:08:18,980
Because you can't carry a taco around with you.

136
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,020
Obviously not.

137
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,160
You have to catch all the drippings.

138
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:22,720
Yeah.

139
00:08:23,460 --> 00:08:24,880
If it's on the street, does it matter?

140
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,280
Might, to me.

141
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,640
You're leaving it for, like, the insects.

142
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:32,760
They couldn't have a snack.

143
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:33,500
This is true.

144
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:34,300
This is true.

145
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,380
They deserve the taco.

146
00:08:36,420 --> 00:08:37,300
No, they don't.

147
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:37,980
Most of them.

148
00:08:38,060 --> 00:08:38,860
Some of them, maybe.

149
00:08:39,820 --> 00:08:40,720
You know, ladybugs.

150
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,340
They're cool.

151
00:08:41,620 --> 00:08:42,900
They come and eat the aphids.

152
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,560
Nobody likes aphids.

153
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:46,660
Lady beetles, those are a different story.

154
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,180
Yeah.

155
00:08:47,940 --> 00:08:48,400
That mean.

156
00:08:48,580 --> 00:08:49,440
Gotta love them, though.

157
00:08:50,340 --> 00:08:51,140
Gotta have bugs.

158
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:51,780
I don't know why.

159
00:08:52,060 --> 00:08:54,280
Mosquitoes actually serve a purpose, but I...

160
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:54,760
They do?

161
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:55,520
Really?

162
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,560
Yeah, apparently they're ecologically necessary for fish.

163
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,880
I'd heard something about the same thing.

164
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,220
Learn something new every day.

165
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:04,840
Yeah.

166
00:09:05,380 --> 00:09:08,920
Which kind of sucks because fish are cool, but mosquitoes are not.

167
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,220
Like they eat them?

168
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:11,900
Yeah.

169
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:12,300
I see.

170
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,080
Yeah, it's a large source of food for little fishes,

171
00:09:16,380 --> 00:09:20,000
which happened to be a large source of food for medium-sized fishes.

172
00:09:20,260 --> 00:09:20,680
Nice.

173
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:24,300
Which happened to be a large source of food for big-sized fishes.

174
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,120
Is that how the food chain works?

175
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,160
It's something like that.

176
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:28,140
Yeah.

177
00:09:29,060 --> 00:09:29,540
Nice.

178
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:30,420
I think so.

179
00:09:30,420 --> 00:09:33,280
and then along comes a bear

180
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,520
and it's like well I like big fish too

181
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:36,580
what gets the bear?

182
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:38,720
sharks

183
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,540
people

184
00:09:40,540 --> 00:09:44,160
where is that bear going if it's running into a shark?

185
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,560
well it might have been a polar bear

186
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:46,680
it was swimming

187
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:48,380
it was swimming

188
00:09:48,380 --> 00:09:52,040
it was trying to get to the next flotilla of ice

189
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,400
so that it could find us

190
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,200
we're talking about sharks or orcas

191
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,220
a sea lion

192
00:09:57,220 --> 00:09:57,960
okay

193
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:04,540
I was talking about sharks in the water, but polar bear, being a bear, they swim.

194
00:10:05,660 --> 00:10:06,720
They swim well.

195
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:08,680
Very well.

196
00:10:09,220 --> 00:10:10,580
Like, scary well.

197
00:10:11,580 --> 00:10:13,680
You're not out swimming a polar bear, then?

198
00:10:13,780 --> 00:10:14,740
I take it.

199
00:10:15,060 --> 00:10:16,700
No, not a chance.

200
00:10:17,020 --> 00:10:18,180
Not even with fins on.

201
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,880
I got them big, goofy feet.

202
00:10:22,020 --> 00:10:26,840
So if you know about it in advance, you can suit up and race the polar bear.

203
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:27,820
Get a boat.

204
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,160
A boat would be a better option there.

205
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:30,580
With fins?

206
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,760
Yeah, polar bears, big.

207
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:34,820
Very big.

208
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,120
So a boat would be better.

209
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:41,140
Something with a motor that you could, like, get out of the area, I think.

210
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:42,700
Are you still going to wear your fins?

211
00:10:44,180 --> 00:10:45,020
Make a little...

212
00:10:45,020 --> 00:10:47,360
I mean, you can drive with your hands on a boat, so sure.

213
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:49,980
I'll wear my fins.

214
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,260
Why aren't there any movies about polar bears eating people in the water?

215
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,280
That's a good question.

216
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,180
Just write a script.

217
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:56,960
Submit it.

218
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:04,240
yeah i did see a video clip at one point with a bunch of like people under the water and you see

219
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,1000
the polar bears going by and stuff it was like a clip of just polar bears swimming

220
00:11:08,1000 --> 00:11:16,660
it was pretty interesting nice they're pretty goofy this seems like it would be ai no it was

221
00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:24,460
it was not i think it was mainly uh captive you know like those pools and stuff like that

222
00:11:24,460 --> 00:11:25,440
from video cameras.

223
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:26,440
Sea world.

224
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:27,860
Yeah, I mean,

225
00:11:27,940 --> 00:11:29,060
I couldn't tell for sure,

226
00:11:29,220 --> 00:11:30,940
but you kind of got the feeling

227
00:11:30,940 --> 00:11:31,900
that that was the case.

228
00:11:32,580 --> 00:11:34,040
Otherwise, someone was down there

229
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,600
in a dry suit.

230
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:38,100
It was too cold.

231
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:39,520
I don't trust anything

232
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:40,440
on the internet anymore.

233
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:42,700
It's kind of hard, isn't it?

234
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:42,960
Yeah.

235
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:43,700
You all right there?

236
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,200
The cable bothering you?

237
00:11:46,420 --> 00:11:47,740
No, it was just, you know,

238
00:11:47,820 --> 00:11:48,280
like it cold.

239
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:48,640
Oh.

240
00:11:49,180 --> 00:11:50,120
So I got to keep a little

241
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,780
tension on it.

242
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:54,440
We can get it to...

243
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:55,440
No, not really.

244
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,220
Not really.

245
00:11:56,940 --> 00:11:57,560
The knob.

246
00:11:57,780 --> 00:11:58,880
It'll hook around that knob.

247
00:11:59,000 --> 00:11:59,820
I tried it.

248
00:12:00,060 --> 00:12:02,420
I mean, I guess I could...

249
00:12:02,420 --> 00:12:03,720
Maybe like that.

250
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:04,700
There you go.

251
00:12:04,980 --> 00:12:05,600
There you go.

252
00:12:05,740 --> 00:12:06,540
Problem solved.

253
00:12:07,140 --> 00:12:08,820
You're a problem solver.

254
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:12,160
I've been called a lot of things before.

255
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,900
I'll take that one.

256
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,020
I'll take that one.

257
00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:18,000
Absolute problem solver.

258
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:18,660
Right?

259
00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:21,540
It got a lot quieter all of a sudden.

260
00:12:21,980 --> 00:12:22,480
It did.

261
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,940
because you wrapped your cable

262
00:12:24,940 --> 00:12:26,340
no

263
00:12:26,340 --> 00:12:27,140
ice maker

264
00:12:27,140 --> 00:12:28,940
ice maker shut off

265
00:12:28,940 --> 00:12:31,600
yeah

266
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,480
but that thing's been running before

267
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,260
when we did the last one it was running

268
00:12:36,260 --> 00:12:38,960
and you couldn't tell afterwards

269
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,300
so I think I'd be alright

270
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:43,080
I need to fix the lighting in here though

271
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,080
you're a little washed out

272
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,500
you're a little washed out yeah

273
00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:47,240
yeah

274
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,580
you're just white

275
00:12:49,580 --> 00:12:51,740
washed out

276
00:12:51,740 --> 00:12:53,780
not washed up

277
00:12:53,780 --> 00:12:54,820
washed out

278
00:12:54,820 --> 00:12:55,660
pretty cool though

279
00:12:55,660 --> 00:13:07,984
pretty cool oh so y did another one of these we did one something like that was mostly a test test thing it was a quick test

280
00:13:07,984 --> 00:13:09,824
and I think going forward we'll probably

281
00:13:09,824 --> 00:13:12,144
you know talk a little bit

282
00:13:12,144 --> 00:13:14,104
figure out some topics and throw

283
00:13:14,104 --> 00:13:16,044
you know kind of topics in there

284
00:13:16,044 --> 00:13:18,124
so that we you know I think we need some topics

285
00:13:18,124 --> 00:13:19,564
keep things

286
00:13:19,564 --> 00:13:22,104
keep things rolling through or else we'll just

287
00:13:22,104 --> 00:13:23,884
end up talking about polar bears

288
00:13:23,884 --> 00:13:26,184
eating people you know every time

289
00:13:26,184 --> 00:13:33,444
people find that interesting they do random conversation really yeah i do i do it's one

290
00:13:33,444 --> 00:13:38,424
of the reasons i tune into a lot of podcasts is it's just kind of random conversation they have

291
00:13:38,424 --> 00:13:47,644
a topic but you know it goes everywhere it's not 100 on topic well if i'm being honest i i hate

292
00:13:47,644 --> 00:13:55,704
podcast i mean who wants to why did you start what what would that be mostly because like i want to

293
00:13:55,704 --> 00:14:01,124
be doing the talking not doing the listening i just i i don't want to hear people talking about

294
00:14:01,124 --> 00:14:08,184
their crap i want to talk about mine well that's why not see now you have to become a podcast fan

295
00:14:08,184 --> 00:14:15,084
yeah yeah yeah because you have to listen to yourself right so that's the worst part about

296
00:14:15,084 --> 00:14:21,264
editing then then i had to listen to a podcast i'd be like yeah i don't want to listen to this guy

297
00:14:21,264 --> 00:14:26,964
even if it's me i don't want to listen yeah that sounds like that kind of sucks i guess

298
00:14:26,964 --> 00:14:34,484
yeah like this guy is really boring you know and his voice is horrible a lot of people seem to have

299
00:14:34,484 --> 00:14:41,524
an opposite opinion of that yeah yeah like a lot of people tuned into the oh didn't you didn't you

300
00:14:41,524 --> 00:14:43,484
at one point have like 30 some odd

301
00:14:43,484 --> 00:14:45,204
people listening at one point? Yeah.

302
00:14:45,444 --> 00:14:47,444
I mean, yeah, it was close to 32

303
00:14:47,444 --> 00:14:49,644
people. That is a pretty

304
00:14:49,644 --> 00:14:50,764
large audience there.

305
00:14:51,364 --> 00:14:52,964
No, I really don't know what it was.

306
00:14:54,224 --> 00:14:55,524
There were quite a few.

307
00:14:55,764 --> 00:14:57,584
Yeah, a few hundred, I think.

308
00:14:57,784 --> 00:14:58,644
Something like that.

309
00:14:59,624 --> 00:15:01,364
We'll be able to get some view counters

310
00:15:01,364 --> 00:15:02,684
and look at metrics.

311
00:15:03,384 --> 00:15:04,884
We'll look into advertising.

312
00:15:07,004 --> 00:15:07,784
Nah, I don't know.

313
00:15:07,784 --> 00:15:09,644
Probably not. I was like, that's some

314
00:15:09,644 --> 00:15:10,884
big plans we got there.

315
00:15:10,884 --> 00:15:13,464
We'll just put street signs up in front of our houses.

316
00:15:13,844 --> 00:15:14,244
Yeah.

317
00:15:14,564 --> 00:15:18,384
Especially for somebody who was like, we don't need a topic.

318
00:15:19,024 --> 00:15:20,744
What do we need a topic for?

319
00:15:20,844 --> 00:15:21,984
That involves planning.

320
00:15:22,284 --> 00:15:25,824
Now we're talking about advertising.

321
00:15:27,544 --> 00:15:29,324
It's better than planning.

322
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:31,644
We're going to have a merch store.

323
00:15:31,744 --> 00:15:32,004
Oh, yeah.

324
00:15:32,244 --> 00:15:32,524
Yeah.

325
00:15:32,924 --> 00:15:33,104
Yeah.

326
00:15:33,844 --> 00:15:34,664
T-shirts.

327
00:15:35,264 --> 00:15:36,224
Oh, we're doing t-shirts?

328
00:15:36,544 --> 00:15:36,864
Yeah.

329
00:15:37,464 --> 00:15:38,184
Oh, all right.

330
00:15:39,184 --> 00:15:39,624
Hoodies.

331
00:15:39,624 --> 00:15:42,004
can we do t-shirts and just say

332
00:15:42,004 --> 00:15:43,824
moist

333
00:15:43,824 --> 00:15:45,744
some people might not like that

334
00:15:45,744 --> 00:15:46,804
yeah

335
00:15:46,804 --> 00:15:48,884
that's the point right

336
00:15:48,884 --> 00:15:50,564
yeah I don't understand why

337
00:15:50,564 --> 00:15:51,804
I don't know

338
00:15:51,804 --> 00:15:55,004
I mean I know somebody

339
00:15:55,004 --> 00:15:56,844
I'd give one of those shirts to

340
00:15:56,844 --> 00:15:57,904
do too

341
00:15:57,904 --> 00:16:01,464
I would get them at least a two week

342
00:16:01,464 --> 00:16:03,324
supply so you never even needed

343
00:16:03,324 --> 00:16:04,584
to wash them in between

344
00:16:04,584 --> 00:16:07,464
oh my god that is going to be moist

345
00:16:07,464 --> 00:16:09,184
that would be a nice gift for someone

346
00:16:09,184 --> 00:16:09,984
I think so.

347
00:16:10,104 --> 00:16:10,244
Yeah.

348
00:16:10,724 --> 00:16:12,284
I think that might happen next year.

349
00:16:12,464 --> 00:16:12,664
Might.

350
00:16:13,504 --> 00:16:15,084
That would be a little...

351
00:16:15,084 --> 00:16:17,164
Yeah, he'll do them individually wrapped.

352
00:16:17,484 --> 00:16:18,444
And each one should...

353
00:16:18,444 --> 00:16:19,064
Nice voice.

354
00:16:19,284 --> 00:16:19,504
Oh.

355
00:16:20,964 --> 00:16:24,164
I think she'd stop opening them after the second one.

356
00:16:24,684 --> 00:16:25,684
She'd be like, they all say that.

357
00:16:25,684 --> 00:16:26,084
I think so.

358
00:16:26,584 --> 00:16:27,004
I do.

359
00:16:27,144 --> 00:16:27,364
Oh.

360
00:16:27,764 --> 00:16:28,184
I do.

361
00:16:28,344 --> 00:16:29,044
She'd catch on.

362
00:16:29,404 --> 00:16:31,464
She'd be like, they all say that, don't they?

363
00:16:32,024 --> 00:16:34,544
Well, you guys say no, absolutely not.

364
00:16:34,824 --> 00:16:35,944
Just keep going.

365
00:16:36,584 --> 00:16:38,084
One of these doesn't say that.

366
00:16:38,084 --> 00:16:47,084
I specifically ordered, there you go, ordered like, you know, 13 that say moist and one that doesn't.

367
00:16:47,864 --> 00:16:51,124
I never open them and just go, one of these doesn't say it.

368
00:16:51,364 --> 00:16:53,624
Just make sure she doesn't open that one until last.

369
00:16:53,744 --> 00:16:54,724
What does that one say?

370
00:16:55,844 --> 00:16:56,844
Damn, my goodness.

371
00:16:58,644 --> 00:16:59,544
That's pretty good.

372
00:16:59,804 --> 00:17:01,144
Yeah, it would be fun.

373
00:17:02,424 --> 00:17:03,504
It would be fun.

374
00:17:03,624 --> 00:17:04,804
It's going to happen now.

375
00:17:04,804 --> 00:17:06,324
I don't know why

376
00:17:06,324 --> 00:17:08,284
if I remember I'm gonna do this

377
00:17:08,284 --> 00:17:09,684
you're not gonna remember

378
00:17:09,684 --> 00:17:12,204
it's being recorded I might

379
00:17:12,204 --> 00:17:14,704
he's already forgotten

380
00:17:14,704 --> 00:17:15,644
it's true

381
00:17:15,644 --> 00:17:18,504
it is true

382
00:17:18,504 --> 00:17:21,144
very true

383
00:17:21,144 --> 00:17:24,764
so you're leaving for

384
00:17:24,764 --> 00:17:27,524
back to your own domicile

385
00:17:27,524 --> 00:17:28,444
this evening yes

386
00:17:28,444 --> 00:17:29,464
yeah

387
00:17:29,464 --> 00:17:31,284
excited to get back

388
00:17:31,284 --> 00:17:34,144
not at all what about C-Store

389
00:17:34,144 --> 00:17:37,264
I'm happy I'm gonna be excited to see the cats

390
00:17:37,264 --> 00:17:39,984
what's the other cat's name

391
00:17:39,984 --> 00:17:40,764
Cardi

392
00:17:40,764 --> 00:17:42,224
Cardi

393
00:17:42,224 --> 00:17:44,784
Seaster

394
00:17:44,784 --> 00:17:46,584
Cardi C

395
00:17:46,584 --> 00:17:47,724
like Cardi Cat

396
00:17:47,724 --> 00:17:51,004
no they're named after characters

397
00:17:51,004 --> 00:17:51,604
in

398
00:17:51,604 --> 00:17:54,724
the ghost band lore

399
00:17:54,724 --> 00:17:56,904
there's

400
00:17:56,904 --> 00:17:58,344
Cardinal Copia

401
00:17:58,344 --> 00:18:00,824
and they're like

402
00:18:00,824 --> 00:18:02,744
oh we're gonna call him Cardi for short

403
00:18:02,744 --> 00:18:05,164
and then there's

404
00:18:05,164 --> 00:18:06,724
sister Imperator

405
00:18:06,724 --> 00:18:08,924
and

406
00:18:08,924 --> 00:18:11,644
the main guy's always like

407
00:18:11,644 --> 00:18:12,104
sister

408
00:18:12,104 --> 00:18:15,444
because he says it with this accent

409
00:18:15,444 --> 00:18:17,084
I like it

410
00:18:17,084 --> 00:18:18,544
very cool

411
00:18:18,544 --> 00:18:20,984
I did not know that

412
00:18:20,984 --> 00:18:22,024
or something new

413
00:18:22,024 --> 00:18:25,464
I think you may have said something

414
00:18:25,464 --> 00:18:26,564
about it at one point

415
00:18:26,564 --> 00:18:29,684
I always say

416
00:18:29,684 --> 00:18:30,644
that they're named after

417
00:18:30,644 --> 00:18:33,744
people in a rock band

418
00:18:33,744 --> 00:18:35,924
to just avoid having to go

419
00:18:35,924 --> 00:18:36,864
into the whole story.

420
00:18:37,784 --> 00:18:39,944
Is there a cricket in that rock band too?

421
00:18:40,384 --> 00:18:41,944
There is not. He just caught

422
00:18:41,944 --> 00:18:42,344
a cricket.

423
00:18:43,024 --> 00:18:45,384
I was like, that's your name right there.

424
00:18:47,864 --> 00:18:49,144
I'm very creative.

425
00:18:50,864 --> 00:18:51,844
Tabowski's name would

426
00:18:51,844 --> 00:18:52,964
really just be nothing.

427
00:18:54,024 --> 00:18:55,004
I'd just call you nothing.

428
00:18:55,924 --> 00:18:57,064
Because he hasn't caught anything?

429
00:18:57,064 --> 00:19:00,684
he's not a very good cat

430
00:19:00,684 --> 00:19:02,404
I mean he's a good cat but he's not

431
00:19:02,404 --> 00:19:03,864
good at being

432
00:19:03,864 --> 00:19:05,424
he's not good at catting

433
00:19:05,424 --> 00:19:06,864
yeah

434
00:19:06,864 --> 00:19:08,984
he does have a charge to him

435
00:19:08,984 --> 00:19:10,924
yeah yeah he does

436
00:19:10,924 --> 00:19:12,824
he naps like a cat

437
00:19:12,824 --> 00:19:15,144
he does really well with the napping thing

438
00:19:15,144 --> 00:19:16,884
I think most cats have that part down

439
00:19:16,884 --> 00:19:17,644
yeah

440
00:19:17,644 --> 00:19:21,044
Domino is very good at being a cat

441
00:19:21,044 --> 00:19:22,964
I really like him a lot

442
00:19:22,964 --> 00:19:25,004
not that I dislike your other cat

443
00:19:25,004 --> 00:19:28,264
I guess.

444
00:19:29,264 --> 00:19:30,224
He don't like to be held.

445
00:19:30,864 --> 00:19:31,664
Domino doesn't?

446
00:19:32,104 --> 00:19:32,404
Mm-mm.

447
00:19:33,284 --> 00:19:34,024
Oh, Domino.

448
00:19:34,144 --> 00:19:34,884
I'm sorry, yes.

449
00:19:35,084 --> 00:19:36,724
Domino is the best cat ever.

450
00:19:37,124 --> 00:19:38,944
Yeah, he's real good at doing the cat thing.

451
00:19:39,284 --> 00:19:40,264
Yeah, he is.

452
00:19:40,664 --> 00:19:41,984
He kills all the things.

453
00:19:42,524 --> 00:19:43,324
He loves.

454
00:19:43,444 --> 00:19:45,504
He's just, he's the perfect cat.

455
00:19:45,584 --> 00:19:46,424
He likes people.

456
00:19:46,704 --> 00:19:47,664
And he's outside.

457
00:19:48,264 --> 00:19:48,544
Right.

458
00:19:49,204 --> 00:19:50,784
So no litter box.

459
00:19:50,784 --> 00:19:55,364
You don't have to hide a box of his feces somewhere in the house.

460
00:19:55,444 --> 00:19:57,524
Oh, God. Who says it's hidden?

461
00:19:57,844 --> 00:20:02,584
Haven't had to clean up one furball, one hairball or whatever.

462
00:20:03,024 --> 00:20:09,924
I mean, what other type of domesticated animal do we hide a box of their excrement?

463
00:20:09,924 --> 00:20:12,164
Of their excrement somewhere in our house.

464
00:20:12,364 --> 00:20:16,144
And birds only clean it out all the time for them.

465
00:20:16,444 --> 00:20:16,584
Yeah.

466
00:20:16,584 --> 00:20:25,184
pretty much dogs are the only ones we don't if you think about it i mean i love i have cats i

467
00:20:25,184 --> 00:20:32,964
love my cats they're just that they seem fairly useless to have inside yeah they are 100 this is

468
00:20:32,964 --> 00:20:38,424
my argument this is can you go talk to my wife i mean they destroy your house they you know

469
00:20:38,424 --> 00:20:40,264
cost money and

470
00:20:40,264 --> 00:20:42,344
like require

471
00:20:42,344 --> 00:20:43,624
endless

472
00:20:43,624 --> 00:20:46,204
catering to but I mean they're

473
00:20:46,204 --> 00:20:48,484
wonderful. They're something

474
00:20:48,484 --> 00:20:50,544
that's for sure. I like that they have their

475
00:20:50,544 --> 00:20:51,484
own separate boundaries.

476
00:20:52,364 --> 00:20:54,744
You know exactly where you stand with a cat.

477
00:20:55,484 --> 00:20:56,604
For the most part.

478
00:20:56,984 --> 00:20:57,984
Really? Do you though?

479
00:20:59,184 --> 00:21:00,604
If a cat don't like you

480
00:21:00,604 --> 00:21:01,144
you know.

481
00:21:02,304 --> 00:21:04,764
Well yeah okay. If a cat likes you

482
00:21:04,764 --> 00:21:06,504
you know. I feel like

483
00:21:06,504 --> 00:21:08,124
that's the same with a dog. Yeah.

484
00:21:08,424 --> 00:21:12,944
I don't know some dogs are just like

485
00:21:12,944 --> 00:21:15,584
always happy to see people

486
00:21:15,584 --> 00:21:16,744
this is true

487
00:21:16,744 --> 00:21:21,044
I have not met a cat

488
00:21:21,044 --> 00:21:22,044
that is just like

489
00:21:22,044 --> 00:21:24,424
immediately like yes

490
00:21:24,424 --> 00:21:27,124
I will accept pets

491
00:21:27,124 --> 00:21:27,644
and

492
00:21:27,644 --> 00:21:30,024
be friendly to everybody

493
00:21:30,024 --> 00:21:30,764
Domino

494
00:21:30,764 --> 00:21:33,224
okay that's fair

495
00:21:33,224 --> 00:21:35,064
that's why he sees the perfect cat

496
00:21:35,064 --> 00:21:37,944
he really is the perfect cat

497
00:21:37,944 --> 00:21:44,144
if you want perfect cat barn cat they apparently turn out to be the most perfect cats

498
00:21:44,144 --> 00:21:52,084
yeah and you didn't have to train him at all he was already trained right yeah yeah i mean we just

499
00:21:52,084 --> 00:22:00,944
got a kitten and he stayed in uh the tack room in the barn until he was old enough to be fixed

500
00:22:00,944 --> 00:22:07,204
once he was fixed because obviously they come broken so you have to fix them yeah so once he

501
00:22:07,204 --> 00:22:14,964
was fixed uh he and afa spent another or actually it was dallas dallas left we don't know where

502
00:22:14,964 --> 00:22:21,564
but they spent another about three weeks in the tack room and then after that we just opened the

503
00:22:21,564 --> 00:22:30,844
door to the tack room and they decided what they wanted to be in life pretty easy i mean like for

504
00:22:30,844 --> 00:22:37,764
you know domino he seems like genuinely grateful for you know like his accommodations and everything

505
00:22:37,764 --> 00:22:46,384
yeah he he really is he's a very loving cat um his but he's also you know stone cold killer

506
00:22:46,384 --> 00:22:52,324
i mean he just kills everything he can but yeah he loves us he'll follow us to the barn

507
00:22:52,324 --> 00:22:57,804
he loves showing us around yep he'll follow you out to the side field and everything he cruises

508
00:22:57,804 --> 00:22:58,924
the whole property.

509
00:22:59,764 --> 00:23:00,524
He's pretty cool.

510
00:23:01,664 --> 00:23:02,804
He's a good kitty.

511
00:23:03,864 --> 00:23:05,164
He gets along with all the dogs?

512
00:23:06,544 --> 00:23:07,604
Yeah, I mean...

513
00:23:07,604 --> 00:23:07,964
Mostly?

514
00:23:08,764 --> 00:23:09,084
Yeah.

515
00:23:09,564 --> 00:23:09,904
No.

516
00:23:10,144 --> 00:23:10,424
No?

517
00:23:11,464 --> 00:23:12,784
I mean, he's a cat, right?

518
00:23:12,884 --> 00:23:14,004
So they want to chase him.

519
00:23:14,124 --> 00:23:17,424
He doesn't want to be chased so much, so...

520
00:23:17,424 --> 00:23:17,904
Fair enough.

521
00:23:17,904 --> 00:23:19,464
I mean, they're there.

522
00:23:19,704 --> 00:23:20,724
He doesn't, you know...

523
00:23:20,724 --> 00:23:24,404
He just knows to stay away from the cattle gates

524
00:23:24,404 --> 00:23:26,124
for the livestock guardian dogs.

525
00:23:26,784 --> 00:23:27,324
Excuse me.

526
00:23:27,804 --> 00:23:28,764
How rude.

527
00:23:29,584 --> 00:23:34,544
And the dogs at the house, he knows.

528
00:23:35,404 --> 00:23:37,504
He's had a harrowing experience.

529
00:23:37,504 --> 00:23:42,704
One time he got up on the deck in the backyard, and the dogs were outside.

530
00:23:43,524 --> 00:23:47,164
Out of nowhere, he comes popping up onto the deck, and we're like, crud.

531
00:23:47,704 --> 00:23:50,384
And then the dogs figured out that he was up on the deck

532
00:23:50,384 --> 00:23:53,664
and started chasing around the deck trying to get him.

533
00:23:53,664 --> 00:23:58,444
and then he, at one point the dogs went around towards the back door

534
00:23:58,444 --> 00:24:02,004
and he jumped off the other side of the deck and went running

535
00:24:02,004 --> 00:24:05,544
and they saw him and went bolting after him

536
00:24:05,544 --> 00:24:08,404
but he made it to the fence and up and over before they got to him.

537
00:24:08,484 --> 00:24:09,464
Well, that's good. Yeah.

538
00:24:10,584 --> 00:24:11,864
Yeah, that's a good thing.

539
00:24:13,104 --> 00:24:15,244
He got some extra white spots that day.

540
00:24:15,424 --> 00:24:18,344
Right? Yeah. A little tuxedo kitty.

541
00:24:19,104 --> 00:24:22,104
And it's funny too that he's, I mean, he's, you know,

542
00:24:22,104 --> 00:24:25,044
He's out there with whatever else, right?

543
00:24:25,164 --> 00:24:28,884
Coyotes, fox, et cetera, raccoons.

544
00:24:29,304 --> 00:24:30,904
And he's not a big cat.

545
00:24:31,064 --> 00:24:32,904
He's actually kind of a small cat.

546
00:24:33,004 --> 00:24:33,944
He's kind of petite, yeah.

547
00:24:34,004 --> 00:24:39,504
Yeah, but he is just, he does his thing, and he's good at it.

548
00:24:41,144 --> 00:24:43,084
So he's a good kid.

549
00:24:44,184 --> 00:24:44,944
Good kid.

550
00:24:45,144 --> 00:24:47,284
I'm just trying to tame mine down.

551
00:24:49,724 --> 00:24:51,104
It'll happen over time.

552
00:24:51,104 --> 00:24:52,084
It will happen.

553
00:24:52,104 --> 00:24:59,684
yeah i mean two months with you know from completely feral you know five month old or so

554
00:24:59,684 --> 00:25:07,164
cats two months isn't a lot of time no there were multiple people who were like when they heard that

555
00:25:07,164 --> 00:25:12,824
they were five months old there were multiple people who were just like you should just release

556
00:25:12,824 --> 00:25:18,424
them back because it's a lost cause and i'm like don't tell me what to do no it's definitely not a

557
00:25:18,424 --> 00:25:20,544
lost cause. No, 100%

558
00:25:20,544 --> 00:25:21,524
not a lost cause.

559
00:25:21,924 --> 00:25:24,304
The shelters around here actually

560
00:25:24,304 --> 00:25:26,404
will take them in and get them

561
00:25:26,404 --> 00:25:28,384
fixed and then re-home

562
00:25:28,384 --> 00:25:29,224
them.

563
00:25:29,224 --> 00:25:31,324
A lot of the times

564
00:25:31,324 --> 00:25:33,084
people use them for barn cats

565
00:25:33,084 --> 00:25:34,804
so it's just like perfect.

566
00:25:36,104 --> 00:25:37,344
But that's where

567
00:25:37,344 --> 00:25:38,784
Aifa came from.

568
00:25:39,724 --> 00:25:41,284
It was a feral cat that

569
00:25:41,284 --> 00:25:43,404
was at a barn. She's a little more

570
00:25:43,404 --> 00:25:45,304
on the feral side than Domino

571
00:25:45,304 --> 00:25:46,504
is, but

572
00:25:46,504 --> 00:25:53,124
man they'll come around it's just going to take a while it'll probably take you know a year yeah

573
00:25:53,124 --> 00:26:10,749
that kind of what i thinking man but they will come around the fact that they already coming right up to you you know that that a big big sign if i covered with a blanket even still right they from where you started where they were hiding behind you know

574
00:26:10,749 --> 00:26:19,009
stuff behind the toilet just like avoid being seen by you to laying down on a perch in front of you

575
00:26:19,009 --> 00:26:26,969
in the same room that's that's a lot of trust right they have made a lot of progress yeah i'm a

576
00:26:26,969 --> 00:26:34,409
little bit worried about the time like after my surgery like when i'm not able to be around them

577
00:26:34,409 --> 00:26:42,909
all the time a little bit worried about coming back from that but you're doing your acl yeah

578
00:26:42,909 --> 00:26:49,229
you have a little recovery on a couple weeks three weeks four weeks so i got uh they said

579
00:26:49,229 --> 00:26:55,609
something about like a couple days without being able to get out of bed yeah and then

580
00:26:55,609 --> 00:26:58,489
it's either one week or two weeks

581
00:26:58,489 --> 00:26:59,669
with one crutch

582
00:26:59,669 --> 00:27:02,469
and then one week or two with

583
00:27:02,469 --> 00:27:04,629
sorry

584
00:27:04,629 --> 00:27:06,169
one week or two with two crutches

585
00:27:06,169 --> 00:27:07,829
one week or two with one

586
00:27:07,829 --> 00:27:10,449
I think I wanted one of those little scooter

587
00:27:10,449 --> 00:27:12,549
things that would have been

588
00:27:12,549 --> 00:27:14,169
fun they wouldn't get you one

589
00:27:14,169 --> 00:27:16,489
well I'd have to like

590
00:27:16,489 --> 00:27:18,189
kneel on the knee that

591
00:27:18,189 --> 00:27:20,309
doesn't have an ACM

592
00:27:20,309 --> 00:27:21,109
so

593
00:27:21,109 --> 00:27:24,569
no that won't get that to me

594
00:27:24,569 --> 00:27:27,269
You couldn't opt for the peg leg thing?

595
00:27:27,449 --> 00:27:28,829
I thought about it.

596
00:27:31,209 --> 00:27:32,589
Get you a nice eye patch.

597
00:27:33,029 --> 00:27:34,629
It would fit with the shark.

598
00:27:36,589 --> 00:27:37,289
The shark?

599
00:27:38,589 --> 00:27:40,349
You know how I busted it, right?

600
00:27:40,469 --> 00:27:40,929
Oh, yeah.

601
00:27:41,309 --> 00:27:41,689
Yeah.

602
00:27:42,729 --> 00:27:44,069
That would be a good story.

603
00:27:44,169 --> 00:27:44,849
Let's hear that one.

604
00:27:45,369 --> 00:27:50,369
So, I got in a fight with someone that I work with.

605
00:27:50,749 --> 00:27:51,989
Like a play fight, though, right?

606
00:27:52,429 --> 00:27:52,869
Well.

607
00:27:53,569 --> 00:27:54,689
No? It's a real fight?

608
00:27:54,989 --> 00:27:56,229
Yeah, I guess it was a play fight.

609
00:27:56,549 --> 00:27:57,329
We're still friends.

610
00:27:57,829 --> 00:28:00,149
But I was wearing a shark suit.

611
00:28:01,889 --> 00:28:06,589
And he came out of nowhere and started bopping me.

612
00:28:07,909 --> 00:28:13,469
And the legs of the shark suit only go up to your knees.

613
00:28:13,869 --> 00:28:16,129
So I didn't have the flexibility.

614
00:28:17,809 --> 00:28:22,569
And so I went to land after I jumped up.

615
00:28:22,869 --> 00:28:30,909
to do this ninja kick i won the fight of course yeah when i came down and landed on my knee it

616
00:28:30,909 --> 00:28:40,609
made this very lovely snap that i felt and heard and i was like there was a lot of pain

617
00:28:40,609 --> 00:28:46,609
i've like literally somebody came up to me and i was like i just fucked up my knee

618
00:28:46,609 --> 00:28:51,969
but i was smiling because of who i am as a person and so they just laughed at me and

619
00:28:51,969 --> 00:28:58,029
and walked away but i was like no like i literally can't put any weight on my knee right now i can't

620
00:28:58,029 --> 00:29:06,649
walk but does it bother you right now right now no but after like a day of standing or

621
00:29:06,649 --> 00:29:15,169
i as the weather gets cooler then it's more the standing stuff before it was just like

622
00:29:15,169 --> 00:29:19,569
i couldn't run and i had a whole lot of running to do that afternoon

623
00:29:19,569 --> 00:29:29,869
which I did anyway so you know that was great but um I can't run I can't jump that's pivoting

624
00:29:29,869 --> 00:29:39,909
stuff that like you don't think about doing until you need to do it yeah like there was this

625
00:29:39,909 --> 00:29:47,269
massive attack spider that came at me from nowhere and I jumped and I regretted it pretty

626
00:29:47,269 --> 00:29:53,229
much immediately this was a what a spider an attack spider an attack spider attack like someone

627
00:29:53,229 --> 00:30:00,349
who trained it yeah it had artillery weapons over the side of it wow it's like so worst kind of

628
00:30:00,349 --> 00:30:08,029
spider i know that's why i had to jump and then i had to hobble around because i was in pain so

629
00:30:08,029 --> 00:30:14,169
hey at least you got the attack spider yeah i actually don't know where it went though

630
00:30:14,169 --> 00:30:20,769
uh it's regrouping but i won at least that battle are you still able to like rush the gates at

631
00:30:20,769 --> 00:30:25,469
concerts and then stand at the barricades for like 10 hours until the main act gets on stage

632
00:30:25,469 --> 00:30:32,329
well luckily the next concert that i'm going to is in july so i should have recovered from december

633
00:30:32,329 --> 00:30:40,089
to that point okay good and what concert are you going to ghost i'm gonna go see ghost

634
00:30:40,089 --> 00:30:41,749
actually for real

635
00:30:41,749 --> 00:30:43,649
I don't know who's opening

636
00:30:43,649 --> 00:30:46,469
oh that's another story you can tell that

637
00:30:46,469 --> 00:30:48,689
story about oh my god

638
00:30:48,689 --> 00:30:50,909
it's the worst venue in the world

639
00:30:50,909 --> 00:30:53,009
wasn't it Simpsonville

640
00:30:53,009 --> 00:30:54,589
yes

641
00:30:54,589 --> 00:30:56,809
yeah not so great

642
00:30:56,809 --> 00:30:58,849
we were supposed to go together

643
00:30:58,849 --> 00:31:00,629
we did go

644
00:31:00,629 --> 00:31:01,609
we did

645
00:31:01,609 --> 00:31:04,649
you were right there I was right here

646
00:31:04,649 --> 00:31:06,329
and then as long as you were

647
00:31:06,329 --> 00:31:08,269
jumping up and down I could see you

648
00:31:08,269 --> 00:31:10,129
Well, yeah, there were a lot of people.

649
00:31:10,849 --> 00:31:14,969
And then the sky opened up, and there was literally nowhere to take cover.

650
00:31:15,289 --> 00:31:15,789
Nowhere.

651
00:31:16,189 --> 00:31:16,509
Nothing.

652
00:31:16,709 --> 00:31:21,329
No cover of any shape or form anywhere.

653
00:31:22,389 --> 00:31:28,329
By the end of the first song, we looked like we'd all just jumped into a weight.

654
00:31:28,689 --> 00:31:28,909
Yep.

655
00:31:29,209 --> 00:31:30,149
Bunch of wet rats.

656
00:31:30,669 --> 00:31:31,609
Pretty much, yeah.

657
00:31:31,889 --> 00:31:32,249
Nice.

658
00:31:32,349 --> 00:31:33,069
Not a pretty scene.

659
00:31:33,669 --> 00:31:34,609
Didn't smell good either.

660
00:31:34,629 --> 00:31:36,269
Did they refund you guys for that?

661
00:31:36,369 --> 00:31:36,709
Yeah.

662
00:31:36,709 --> 00:31:37,369
They did.

663
00:31:38,269 --> 00:31:39,029
They had to.

664
00:31:39,249 --> 00:31:42,549
Well, at one point they were saying they weren't going to.

665
00:31:42,729 --> 00:31:43,949
I mean, you did get one song.

666
00:31:44,969 --> 00:31:45,369
Three.

667
00:31:45,829 --> 00:31:48,429
What are you complaining about?

668
00:31:48,549 --> 00:31:53,109
We were drenched after the first song, halfway through the first song,

669
00:31:53,609 --> 00:31:54,449
and they kept playing.

670
00:31:54,629 --> 00:31:56,029
The guitar player got zapped.

671
00:31:58,729 --> 00:32:02,769
And then by the end of the third song is when the water was, like,

672
00:32:02,769 --> 00:32:04,089
standing up to my ankle.

673
00:32:04,589 --> 00:32:04,829
Nice.

674
00:32:06,209 --> 00:32:06,729
Nice.

675
00:32:06,729 --> 00:32:12,389
and right around somewhere around there and i was just like i'm not i can't do this this isn't just

676
00:32:12,389 --> 00:32:20,109
a short storm here that's gonna pass and i can dry off and yeah okay so i called an uber i go to get

677
00:32:20,109 --> 00:32:25,489
in the uber and i look at the guy i'm like is this okay i feel so bad he goes yeah yeah it's fine

678
00:32:25,489 --> 00:32:32,749
just get in got in i was just soaking wet and then ghost called me a little while later she's like

679
00:32:32,749 --> 00:32:40,089
they're gonna play they're gonna come in like yeah i'm done yeah because i was out in the

680
00:32:40,089 --> 00:32:49,449
they told us to go and check their social media for updates but the venue doesn't have service

681
00:32:49,449 --> 00:32:58,929
and so the only place to get signal was to go all the way back out to the car oh nice so i was my

682
00:32:58,929 --> 00:33:04,509
car smelled like wet dog for two weeks because i was sitting there trying to figure out what was

683
00:33:04,509 --> 00:33:15,749
going on trying to refresh and the the sites were all freezing and so finally some of the workers

684
00:33:15,749 --> 00:33:23,449
were like they're canceling everything and i was like well this checks out that sucks but we were

685
00:33:23,449 --> 00:33:33,189
gonna go meet up for dinner somewhere yep and so on the way out is when we got signal back

686
00:33:33,189 --> 00:33:38,929
and my phone started blowing up with people who were still there saying oh they're getting back

687
00:33:38,929 --> 00:33:44,509
on stage they're going on stage and that's when i called you yep and you were already back in

688
00:33:44,509 --> 00:33:46,289
Greenville at that point.

689
00:33:46,649 --> 00:33:47,929
Yeah, I was back at my hotel.

690
00:33:48,569 --> 00:33:49,789
So I turned around

691
00:33:49,789 --> 00:33:51,789
and

692
00:33:51,789 --> 00:33:54,089
joined the

693
00:33:54,089 --> 00:33:56,709
from the pictures, what did you say?

694
00:33:56,709 --> 00:33:58,149
1,000 or 2,000?

695
00:33:58,869 --> 00:34:00,329
Probably somewhere in between.

696
00:34:01,249 --> 00:34:02,689
But that many

697
00:34:02,689 --> 00:34:04,869
people waiting for

698
00:34:04,869 --> 00:34:06,469
what we thought was going to be

699
00:34:06,469 --> 00:34:07,989
the rest of the concert.

700
00:34:08,809 --> 00:34:10,169
Which never came.

701
00:34:10,689 --> 00:34:12,409
Right. But they drag it

702
00:34:12,409 --> 00:34:14,269
out for like two more days.

703
00:34:14,508 --> 00:34:16,949
because they

704
00:34:16,949 --> 00:34:20,749
after they called the cops on us for rioting

705
00:34:20,749 --> 00:34:22,249
when we were singing Spongebob

706
00:34:22,249 --> 00:34:24,289
so after they called the cops on us

707
00:34:24,289 --> 00:34:26,569
and the cops arrived with their

708
00:34:26,569 --> 00:34:27,949
sirens and lights going

709
00:34:27,949 --> 00:34:29,929
and jumping out of their cars

710
00:34:29,929 --> 00:34:32,169
they had like riot shields and batons or anything

711
00:34:32,169 --> 00:34:34,669
not that because we were literally

712
00:34:34,669 --> 00:34:35,629
singing Spongebob

713
00:34:35,629 --> 00:34:38,669
that's you know like inciting violence

714
00:34:38,669 --> 00:34:39,269
I know

715
00:34:39,269 --> 00:34:42,909
and we couldn't go to the bathroom

716
00:34:42,909 --> 00:34:44,269
there was a line at the bathroom

717
00:34:44,269 --> 00:34:50,669
who needs a bathroom it's overrated it was those porta potties anyway yeah but um yeah so after

718
00:34:50,669 --> 00:34:57,409
they called the cops on us and the cops arrived is when the venue said oh it's postponed until

719
00:34:57,409 --> 00:35:05,929
thursday and so that's when we actually left because we knew that there wasn't anything to

720
00:35:05,929 --> 00:35:13,749
stay for at that point and so we went all through wednesday being like all right

721
00:35:13,749 --> 00:35:21,429
thursday is the day i was making my plans again i had gotten a hotel because i wanted to be like

722
00:35:21,429 --> 00:35:27,349
in the front of the line right and i was like i can't get another hotel that's

723
00:35:28,809 --> 00:35:35,449
ridiculous but so i was making plans to like get up stupid early and drive back out there

724
00:35:35,449 --> 00:35:40,369
to try and get my spot i was like i was at the barricade i earned the barricade give me my

725
00:35:40,369 --> 00:35:49,789
barricade but i worked hard for that and then wednesday evening i think is when ghost finally

726
00:35:49,789 --> 00:35:55,849
was able to make their announcement of we knew that we weren't going to be able to play the show

727
00:35:55,849 --> 00:36:03,769
tuesday afternoon and we haven't been legally allowed to say anything until now

728
00:36:03,769 --> 00:36:12,189
but they had zero way because all their stuff got completely drenched there was no way that

729
00:36:12,189 --> 00:36:18,429
they were going to be able to play yeah yeah it was it was bad i've never seen anything quite like

730
00:36:18,429 --> 00:36:24,949
it the venue didn't want them to begin with no and they actually for a while there the venue was

731
00:36:24,949 --> 00:36:32,849
i think ghost actually is the one that that uh footed the bill to play again uh or was going to

732
00:36:32,849 --> 00:36:36,289
because the venue was saying, no, force majeure, you know,

733
00:36:36,309 --> 00:36:38,529
it's an act of nature, an act of God.

734
00:36:39,489 --> 00:36:43,089
We're not, you know, because it's even on the tickets, you know.

735
00:36:43,209 --> 00:36:47,209
This is an open-air event, you know, no cancellation

736
00:36:47,209 --> 00:36:51,929
or no refunds or whatever for, you know.

737
00:36:52,329 --> 00:36:54,508
Well, the stage wasn't even set up right.

738
00:36:55,669 --> 00:36:58,589
Like, there was zero protection for the elements on the stage.

739
00:36:58,589 --> 00:37:00,229
Like, no canopy for the performers, even?

740
00:37:00,229 --> 00:37:03,429
It's like right up top, but the sides are open.

741
00:37:03,749 --> 00:37:03,929
Yeah.

742
00:37:04,409 --> 00:37:10,469
There was a roof over them, but it was only covering the stage.

743
00:37:10,709 --> 00:37:14,049
And, you know, it was probably 30 feet up.

744
00:37:14,949 --> 00:37:20,589
So any angle to the rain, and it was coming down at an angle pretty good.

745
00:37:21,269 --> 00:37:22,469
I mean, the stage was flooding.

746
00:37:22,789 --> 00:37:23,049
Yeah.

747
00:37:24,249 --> 00:37:25,649
You sure they're not just a bunch of wimps?

748
00:37:25,769 --> 00:37:27,649
I mean, I saw Prince do that Super Bowl.

749
00:37:27,649 --> 00:37:35,669
You could literally see water hitting the guitars as they were playing, like raindrops hitting the face of the guitars.

750
00:37:36,129 --> 00:37:37,409
Guitars are waterproof, right?

751
00:37:37,829 --> 00:37:38,349
No.

752
00:37:39,029 --> 00:37:39,389
They are.

753
00:37:40,449 --> 00:37:42,409
They wanted to test that theory, though.

754
00:37:42,549 --> 00:37:44,169
You've got a pool, you've got a guitar.

755
00:37:44,269 --> 00:37:46,269
It was already tested in Simpsonville.

756
00:37:46,829 --> 00:37:47,369
Yeah, I know.

757
00:37:47,949 --> 00:37:49,549
I mean, what's a little water between friends?

758
00:37:49,669 --> 00:37:51,529
Makes the neck interesting, though.

759
00:37:52,349 --> 00:37:53,669
They sound better that way.

760
00:37:53,789 --> 00:37:54,629
That's what I've heard.

761
00:37:54,629 --> 00:38:02,508
apparently the band had been wanting to tell us at the event like while everybody was still there

762
00:38:02,508 --> 00:38:09,809
like we're not gonna be able to play sorry and the venue would not let them that's that's kind

763
00:38:09,809 --> 00:38:16,949
of crazy yeah the when the band themselves says we got we wanted to tell you but we got trapped

764
00:38:16,949 --> 00:38:24,109
in legalese yep yeah it was no good bad event bad venue then you're horrible never again god

765
00:38:24,109 --> 00:38:25,389
Not there. No way.

766
00:38:26,389 --> 00:38:30,409
I would 100% obviously try to see the band again.

767
00:38:31,349 --> 00:38:31,609
Yeah.

768
00:38:32,109 --> 00:38:34,289
But that venue, never.

769
00:38:34,549 --> 00:38:34,969
Never.

770
00:38:35,629 --> 00:38:42,109
It's really set up for more like a state fair stage type of a thing.

771
00:38:42,389 --> 00:38:42,609
I see.

772
00:38:42,889 --> 00:38:46,069
You know, middle of the day, small show, something like that.

773
00:38:46,649 --> 00:38:49,689
And you were there, like, from the beginning of the day,

774
00:38:49,789 --> 00:38:52,449
the fans were the ones that were organizing the lines.

775
00:38:52,889 --> 00:38:53,409
Mm-hmm.

776
00:38:54,109 --> 00:38:58,029
Like they were the ones who said, hey, this front parking is going to be ADA.

777
00:38:58,389 --> 00:39:08,373
So you going to have to go back three more parking lots And fans were the ones that told me that They said I keep your place go move your car

778
00:39:08,853 --> 00:39:09,133
Okay.

779
00:39:10,973 --> 00:39:12,553
There were two levels of VIP.

780
00:39:13,973 --> 00:39:14,133
Yeah.

781
00:39:14,533 --> 00:39:19,053
It wasn't until the venue themselves were like,

782
00:39:19,193 --> 00:39:21,893
oh, we're supposed to have two separate lines.

783
00:39:21,893 --> 00:39:25,113
And then the fans were like, hey, this version here,

784
00:39:25,253 --> 00:39:27,333
that version over there, go.

785
00:39:27,333 --> 00:39:29,593
what's the difference between the two?

786
00:39:30,373 --> 00:39:31,913
it was in stuff that you

787
00:39:31,913 --> 00:39:32,493
got

788
00:39:32,493 --> 00:39:36,333
I think for ours it was

789
00:39:36,333 --> 00:39:37,853
early

790
00:39:37,853 --> 00:39:39,753
entry we were supposed

791
00:39:39,753 --> 00:39:41,293
to be able to see the

792
00:39:41,293 --> 00:39:43,833
old props and stuff

793
00:39:43,833 --> 00:39:45,753
we didn't get to see that

794
00:39:45,753 --> 00:39:46,973
because it got rained out

795
00:39:46,973 --> 00:39:50,093
it flooded imagine that

796
00:39:50,093 --> 00:39:52,873
yeah

797
00:39:52,873 --> 00:39:55,313
and the other one got like

798
00:39:55,313 --> 00:39:57,113
extra merch essentially

799
00:39:57,113 --> 00:39:57,373
Yeah.

800
00:39:57,593 --> 00:40:00,453
Same stuff, same stuff, but more merch.

801
00:40:00,593 --> 00:40:00,833
Right.

802
00:40:01,113 --> 00:40:03,873
Yeah, I think the first level was extra merch,

803
00:40:03,873 --> 00:40:05,833
and then the second level was you got the merch,

804
00:40:05,933 --> 00:40:08,093
but you also got the experiences.

805
00:40:08,473 --> 00:40:08,913
I see.

806
00:40:09,533 --> 00:40:11,093
Tickets are not cheap anymore.

807
00:40:12,133 --> 00:40:12,353
No.

808
00:40:12,993 --> 00:40:16,533
No, that's such a scam right there.

809
00:40:16,633 --> 00:40:17,533
I mean, it's ridiculous.

810
00:40:17,613 --> 00:40:20,913
It used to be like, I've given you tickets.

811
00:40:20,913 --> 00:40:21,173
Yeah.

812
00:40:21,273 --> 00:40:23,633
They're like $15, $20.

813
00:40:24,153 --> 00:40:25,133
I don't even remember.

814
00:40:25,513 --> 00:40:25,813
Like, yeah.

815
00:40:25,813 --> 00:40:34,093
yeah 15 15 to 25 was pretty typical maybe 30 35 40 if it was like some really big event

816
00:40:34,093 --> 00:40:40,393
all right okay did i just have an issue or that just completely lose focus yeah it lost focus yeah

817
00:40:40,393 --> 00:40:49,833
there we go all right but yeah now now you're looking at you know i mean just about any show

818
00:40:49,833 --> 00:40:55,533
ga even you're going to be paying close to 100 bucks a ticket that's crazy yeah

819
00:40:55,533 --> 00:40:58,433
And that's if you don't have to buy them through like a third party.

820
00:40:58,553 --> 00:40:58,813
Yep.

821
00:40:59,133 --> 00:40:59,393
Yep.

822
00:40:59,733 --> 00:41:00,013
Yep.

823
00:41:00,973 --> 00:41:01,193
Yeah.

824
00:41:01,653 --> 00:41:12,053
When I was growing, when I was, oh, I guess I was in high school, just out of high school, somewhere around then, worked for a guy that did the ticket thing.

825
00:41:12,513 --> 00:41:23,553
So he would get a bunch of high schoolers together and give them all cash to go buy the best tickets they could find.

826
00:41:23,553 --> 00:41:26,173
and then he had tickets for the shows,

827
00:41:26,333 --> 00:41:29,713
but obviously he reselled them for like a huge premium.

828
00:41:31,453 --> 00:41:34,553
Now it's basically, you know, I don't know.

829
00:41:34,613 --> 00:41:37,633
I think the whole, you know, most of the StubHub stuff

830
00:41:37,633 --> 00:41:40,573
is basically all filled with just those types of people.

831
00:41:40,873 --> 00:41:41,773
You know what I mean?

832
00:41:42,333 --> 00:41:45,573
Even though they're supposed to be putting in place limits

833
00:41:45,573 --> 00:41:48,673
and stuff like that, but it doesn't apply when you just,

834
00:41:49,393 --> 00:41:52,113
you get a group of 10 people and each one goes and buys,

835
00:41:52,113 --> 00:41:53,993
four or eight tickets.

836
00:41:54,553 --> 00:41:54,833
Yeah.

837
00:41:55,753 --> 00:41:57,333
I remember back in the day,

838
00:41:57,493 --> 00:41:59,813
you'd get with a group of your friends

839
00:41:59,813 --> 00:42:01,333
and you'd camp out all night.

840
00:42:01,773 --> 00:42:02,333
Well, I mean,

841
00:42:02,473 --> 00:42:04,433
where we would get them,

842
00:42:04,513 --> 00:42:07,493
it was like some kind of music store.

843
00:42:07,593 --> 00:42:09,613
Maybe they fixed speakers

844
00:42:09,613 --> 00:42:11,273
and turntables and things,

845
00:42:11,353 --> 00:42:13,533
and they also had a ticket booth thing

846
00:42:13,533 --> 00:42:14,053
in the back.

847
00:42:15,653 --> 00:42:16,473
Cash only.

848
00:42:16,633 --> 00:42:19,053
I don't think you could use a credit card back then.

849
00:42:19,573 --> 00:42:22,093
Yeah, we would go to Tower Records.

850
00:42:22,113 --> 00:42:23,253
Yeah, that's where we would go.

851
00:42:23,433 --> 00:42:28,033
Once in a while, they would do like a handed out numbers, like a lottery kind of thing.

852
00:42:28,193 --> 00:42:34,013
You know, like it didn't just take whoever was waiting at the door first, but it did that a few times.

853
00:42:35,133 --> 00:42:35,353
Yeah.

854
00:42:36,293 --> 00:42:36,693
Yep.

855
00:42:36,793 --> 00:42:43,553
For us, it was Tower Records or they would have Ticketmaster box offices usually at the venues, you know,

856
00:42:43,593 --> 00:42:46,233
and some people would go up to the venue and do that or whatever.

857
00:42:46,233 --> 00:42:52,733
but pretty much record stores, sometimes Licorice Pizza, another record store for us.

858
00:42:54,293 --> 00:42:56,813
Oh, those days seem to be long gone, I guess.

859
00:42:57,113 --> 00:42:57,893
Oh, they are.

860
00:42:58,373 --> 00:43:02,033
And it's kind of a bummer, too, because the pricing, you know what I mean?

861
00:43:02,073 --> 00:43:05,313
It's just so out of control, you know?

862
00:43:05,753 --> 00:43:13,673
I mean, I guess if you're paying for a VIP experience or if it's a full seating arena

863
00:43:13,673 --> 00:43:21,173
and you're paying for like really good seats i can see that but you know it anymore if you really

864
00:43:21,173 --> 00:43:26,973
want a ticket somewhere you're almost if you don't have early access you're almost relegated

865
00:43:26,973 --> 00:43:34,013
to going through like a stub hub or something else yeah i mean you and i we were talking about like

866
00:43:34,013 --> 00:43:40,853
with tesla right oh yeah and then like even for like and they're not i mean in my opinion like

867
00:43:40,853 --> 00:43:43,133
you know, top of the line deal.

868
00:43:43,233 --> 00:43:44,473
And it was like, forget it, man.

869
00:43:44,533 --> 00:43:47,073
It's like, you know, what, two or three hundred bucks?

870
00:43:47,233 --> 00:43:47,833
Something like that.

871
00:43:47,893 --> 00:43:48,373
Yeah, sure.

872
00:43:48,513 --> 00:43:50,973
You know, it just doesn't seem worth it.

873
00:43:51,413 --> 00:43:58,053
250, 300 bucks for a band that, I mean, it'd be cool to see them, but let's face it, there

874
00:43:58,053 --> 00:43:58,533
has been.

875
00:43:58,693 --> 00:44:02,913
I mean, if it was under a hundred bucks, I'd say, you know, let's do it, but not for nothing.

876
00:44:02,913 --> 00:44:03,593
Yeah, same.

877
00:44:04,293 --> 00:44:08,593
And then add on top of that, it was like an hour and a half, two hour drive from you.

878
00:44:08,593 --> 00:44:10,053
so

879
00:44:10,053 --> 00:44:12,793
9-10 hours from us

880
00:44:12,793 --> 00:44:14,773
just a quick

881
00:44:14,773 --> 00:44:16,353
drop down there real quick

882
00:44:16,353 --> 00:44:18,613
go to the concert

883
00:44:18,613 --> 00:44:19,493
drive home

884
00:44:19,493 --> 00:44:22,833
I'm not saying they're not all talented musicians

885
00:44:22,833 --> 00:44:23,453
but you know

886
00:44:23,453 --> 00:44:25,813
for only knowing a couple

887
00:44:25,813 --> 00:44:27,053
songs

888
00:44:27,053 --> 00:44:29,473
not really worth it to me

889
00:44:29,473 --> 00:44:31,953
I know quite a few other songs

890
00:44:31,953 --> 00:44:34,633
and I would love to see them for nostalgia

891
00:44:34,633 --> 00:44:36,613
and everything else but not at top

892
00:44:36,613 --> 00:44:38,193
tier premium rates

893
00:44:38,193 --> 00:44:45,593
who was that tesla okay okay i here i was thinking you were talking about the car i was like that's

894
00:44:45,593 --> 00:44:53,133
a swerving and then they're not and their number one song is a cover isn't it tesla yeah no signs

895
00:44:53,133 --> 00:44:58,873
that's a cover i don't know that that's their number one song though is it i think so probably

896
00:44:58,873 --> 00:45:07,753
best known one i think yeah maybe to me it's a good one yeah no it's a good one no i i enjoy it

897
00:45:07,753 --> 00:45:08,393
Yeah.

898
00:45:08,813 --> 00:45:10,333
I think the best way...

899
00:45:10,333 --> 00:45:11,013
The band is very talented.

900
00:45:11,493 --> 00:45:12,453
Oh, yeah, they all are.

901
00:45:12,553 --> 00:45:13,853
They're really a talented band.

902
00:45:13,993 --> 00:45:15,753
Come on, you wacky...

903
00:45:16,633 --> 00:45:17,293
Just stop.

904
00:45:18,173 --> 00:45:18,653
Focus.

905
00:45:18,773 --> 00:45:19,593
Focus on Ghost.

906
00:45:19,973 --> 00:45:20,333
No.

907
00:45:20,653 --> 00:45:21,393
Look at Ghost.

908
00:45:21,673 --> 00:45:22,113
No.

909
00:45:22,573 --> 00:45:23,353
Look at Ghost.

910
00:45:23,433 --> 00:45:23,633
No.

911
00:45:24,393 --> 00:45:25,113
Look at Ghost.

912
00:45:27,113 --> 00:45:29,033
It's because we're losing the light of the day.

913
00:45:29,253 --> 00:45:31,473
You need your auxiliary lighting.

914
00:45:32,593 --> 00:45:33,033
Yeah.

915
00:45:33,453 --> 00:45:36,053
But I thought the way that we went to go see Green Day

916
00:45:36,053 --> 00:45:37,213
turned out really well.

917
00:45:37,213 --> 00:45:39,193
I think that was great.

918
00:45:39,313 --> 00:45:41,093
General admission festival.

919
00:45:41,473 --> 00:45:44,993
So if you got there early, then you got the spots up front.

920
00:45:45,433 --> 00:45:45,653
Yeah.

921
00:45:46,433 --> 00:45:51,173
We had the good tickets so you could get peace and a nice air-conditioned.

922
00:45:51,173 --> 00:45:51,413
Right.

923
00:45:51,413 --> 00:45:55,613
And not like the peasants who had to go.

924
00:45:56,033 --> 00:45:57,353
The peasants in the shithole.

925
00:45:57,573 --> 00:45:59,693
They had to drink out of the trough.

926
00:46:00,753 --> 00:46:06,413
They say free water, but for them, they literally had to drink out of a trough.

927
00:46:07,213 --> 00:46:13,773
we got liquid man oh man and then yeah for us we had you can drink with death water and you could

928
00:46:13,773 --> 00:46:20,193
buy drinks you know of course if you want something else but i did definitely took advantage of that

929
00:46:20,193 --> 00:46:27,013
yeah it was hot it was hot that day well it's way worth it to pay the extra for those vip

930
00:46:27,013 --> 00:46:34,053
things yeah in my opinion even like when we went and saw willie nelson and stuff oh he didn't show

931
00:46:34,053 --> 00:46:36,473
but Bob Dylan was there.

932
00:46:36,793 --> 00:46:37,753
Did you like Bob?

933
00:46:38,773 --> 00:46:39,593
You know what?

934
00:46:39,673 --> 00:46:42,033
It was so hot.

935
00:46:42,493 --> 00:46:42,773
Yeah.

936
00:46:42,833 --> 00:46:44,233
And it's an outdoor venue.

937
00:46:45,033 --> 00:46:47,273
And the way it was set up,

938
00:46:47,673 --> 00:46:51,573
like it was an outdoor venue where we were was covered,

939
00:46:51,813 --> 00:46:54,793
but it was in kind of the bottom of a bowl.

940
00:46:55,733 --> 00:47:00,673
And so it was like just, I can't even, it was just hot.

941
00:47:00,673 --> 00:47:09,413
like like don't want to exist outside anymore hot and i tried i tried we both did and it was just

942
00:47:09,413 --> 00:47:16,693
like we couldn't find anywhere to like really be in shade and the air was still and it was just like

943
00:47:16,693 --> 00:47:22,753
i'm i'm not gonna make it through this it's just too hot i'm too old to suffer through discomfort

944
00:47:22,753 --> 00:47:29,073
for something like that you know you just watch it on youtube in the comfort of your home yeah

945
00:47:29,073 --> 00:47:29,713
Pretty much.

946
00:47:29,853 --> 00:47:33,933
You know, put on a rent-a-party bus and just play whatever you want.

947
00:47:34,633 --> 00:47:35,153
There you go.

948
00:47:35,353 --> 00:47:35,793
There you go.

949
00:47:36,633 --> 00:47:37,753
Play YouTube videos.

950
00:47:37,873 --> 00:47:38,753
That's always fun.

951
00:47:38,813 --> 00:47:40,393
That was actually pretty cool last night.

952
00:47:40,453 --> 00:47:41,173
That was pretty good.

953
00:47:41,373 --> 00:47:43,773
If we had a little screen up there, it would have been even better.

954
00:47:43,893 --> 00:47:46,073
Your arm was getting tired holding it up there.

955
00:47:46,333 --> 00:47:47,233
Yeah, yeah.

956
00:47:48,533 --> 00:47:52,053
Sitting in the Sprinter van with my phone up like this,

957
00:47:52,093 --> 00:47:53,613
hooked up to the Bluetooth speakers.

958
00:47:53,613 --> 00:47:55,333
The Mercedes Sprinter van.

959
00:47:55,433 --> 00:47:56,733
That's just a regular Dodge.

960
00:47:56,733 --> 00:48:07,993
well i didn't yeah it was nice it was very nice with one exception i don't know who designed that

961
00:48:07,993 --> 00:48:14,813
road to get back behind the seating oh that was oh god yeah but there's what the hell i had to

962
00:48:14,813 --> 00:48:24,393
squish myself at that well you know hey you watch their buster just saying i mean honestly

963
00:48:24,393 --> 00:48:27,593
it was pretty tight

964
00:48:27,593 --> 00:48:28,973
even if I was

965
00:48:28,973 --> 00:48:31,073
not carrying extra weight

966
00:48:31,073 --> 00:48:33,033
Nas had no problem at all

967
00:48:33,033 --> 00:48:33,813
that's not true

968
00:48:33,813 --> 00:48:36,013
he had to squeeze through too

969
00:48:36,013 --> 00:48:38,293
that's where you know

970
00:48:38,293 --> 00:48:39,253
it's like wow

971
00:48:39,253 --> 00:48:42,973
you're the only one that walked right through

972
00:48:42,973 --> 00:48:44,393
no, had no problem

973
00:48:44,393 --> 00:48:45,353
well that's true

974
00:48:45,353 --> 00:48:46,533
okay

975
00:48:46,533 --> 00:48:49,273
she's just a little

976
00:48:49,273 --> 00:48:50,933
tiny

977
00:48:50,933 --> 00:48:52,893
you know

978
00:48:52,893 --> 00:49:01,453
that was a good time i enjoyed it yeah no i i'm you know every alpaca

979
00:49:01,453 --> 00:49:09,973
has been amazing this is no exception for me at least i just i can't wait to get that painting

980
00:49:09,973 --> 00:49:16,553
framed and and put up that we we really didn't explain that though then like how that worked

981
00:49:16,553 --> 00:49:17,673
Why don't you do that?

982
00:49:19,013 --> 00:49:24,553
We rented an art room at a painting tutorial place.

983
00:49:24,713 --> 00:49:25,753
I guess I got what it is.

984
00:49:25,753 --> 00:49:26,213
Art studio.

985
00:49:26,213 --> 00:49:26,913
Art studio.

986
00:49:27,133 --> 00:49:28,113
That's what it is.

987
00:49:28,313 --> 00:49:34,653
One of those things where you can go and paint ceramics or, you know, say, hey, I want to paint, you know, something with some friends.

988
00:49:34,933 --> 00:49:35,353
Exactly.

989
00:49:35,353 --> 00:49:42,853
So there was nine of us, and we had a large painting that was done up in sections.

990
00:49:42,853 --> 00:49:49,393
And so we made a big mural that all kind of came together in the one gigantic painting.

991
00:49:49,553 --> 00:49:52,133
And it was the biggest that woman's ever done, right?

992
00:49:52,793 --> 00:49:53,893
Yeah, that's what she was saying.

993
00:49:53,973 --> 00:49:57,373
She said she's done them with like two, three, or four.

994
00:49:57,653 --> 00:49:57,953
Right.

995
00:49:58,093 --> 00:49:59,773
But never with nine of them.

996
00:50:00,033 --> 00:50:00,213
Nine.

997
00:50:00,633 --> 00:50:03,973
And so each of us had a 20 by 27 canvas.

998
00:50:04,833 --> 00:50:07,233
What is the overall measurements of that thing put together?

999
00:50:07,653 --> 00:50:09,833
Well, that would be 60 by 81.

1000
00:50:10,313 --> 00:50:11,173
Yeah, that's pretty big.

1001
00:50:11,173 --> 00:50:18,273
yeah it is pretty big so we each painted one separate section and like even though we each

1002
00:50:18,273 --> 00:50:24,473
did our own thing and it came together really well it does it looks really cool with every

1003
00:50:24,473 --> 00:50:30,473
every section being different but all still blending together but like you were saying a

1004
00:50:30,473 --> 00:50:35,593
little it is a little stressful because you know you want to do a good job and it's the time you

1005
00:50:35,593 --> 00:50:42,253
I thought I was doing great because it was a picture of a barn with horses is what the overall picture was.

1006
00:50:42,353 --> 00:50:45,273
And I had a piece of the barn with the roof.

1007
00:50:45,413 --> 00:50:48,313
And I thought I was doing a really good job painting the roof.

1008
00:50:49,053 --> 00:50:52,493
And then I'm like, that's supposed to be the barn.

1009
00:50:52,853 --> 00:50:57,453
So I had to turn a large portion of the roof into the barn.

1010
00:50:57,773 --> 00:51:04,173
And it actually turned out okay because it added like shadowing and a little bit of texture to it.

1011
00:51:04,173 --> 00:51:06,513
you'll never know. Nice.

1012
00:51:07,253 --> 00:51:09,013
But now when you're looking up at it

1013
00:51:09,013 --> 00:51:10,193
on the wall and you're like

1014
00:51:10,193 --> 00:51:13,033
if you ever notice that the barn is a different color

1015
00:51:13,033 --> 00:51:14,913
like on that one section, that's

1016
00:51:14,913 --> 00:51:16,313
because it used to be the roof.

1017
00:51:17,113 --> 00:51:18,113
Well, you know.

1018
00:51:19,333 --> 00:51:20,493
We could have just

1019
00:51:20,493 --> 00:51:22,753
done our barn and then it would just

1020
00:51:22,753 --> 00:51:23,533
all have been white.

1021
00:51:24,453 --> 00:51:26,113
Well, it has green on it too.

1022
00:51:27,033 --> 00:51:28,733
That's true. A little bit.

1023
00:51:29,173 --> 00:51:30,453
Did you see the weather vane?

1024
00:51:31,153 --> 00:51:32,953
Yeah. It turned out pretty good, right?

1025
00:51:32,953 --> 00:51:33,613
It did.

1026
00:51:33,693 --> 00:51:34,573
My wife did that.

1027
00:51:34,773 --> 00:51:35,613
That was awesome.

1028
00:51:35,773 --> 00:51:36,733
I thought she did a good job.

1029
00:51:37,553 --> 00:51:40,073
I thought it was a perfect touch.

1030
00:51:40,673 --> 00:51:44,373
I was kind of wondering because there wasn't one there for a while when I kept looking.

1031
00:51:45,153 --> 00:51:47,193
At the end, there was.

1032
00:51:47,293 --> 00:51:48,153
And I was like, awesome.

1033
00:51:49,173 --> 00:51:50,333
Did she do that last?

1034
00:51:50,593 --> 00:51:51,713
I think so, yeah.

1035
00:51:51,893 --> 00:51:52,213
Okay.

1036
00:51:52,433 --> 00:51:53,273
That makes sense.

1037
00:51:54,093 --> 00:51:54,833
It was pretty fun.

1038
00:51:55,373 --> 00:51:55,953
Pretty cool.

1039
00:51:56,773 --> 00:51:59,133
And I cannot wait to see it up in the house.

1040
00:51:59,213 --> 00:52:00,373
It's going to be amazing.

1041
00:52:00,873 --> 00:52:02,853
Yeah, that's going to be pretty awesome.

1042
00:52:02,953 --> 00:52:04,393
It will. It will.

1043
00:52:05,002 --> 00:52:12,842
little piece of each of the, you know, what we call them, the permanent members in the

1044
00:52:12,842 --> 00:52:15,142
United Alpaca Council.

1045
00:52:16,822 --> 00:52:19,242
The United Alpaca Council.

1046
00:52:19,662 --> 00:52:20,002
Yeah.

1047
00:52:21,082 --> 00:52:21,982
Or the UPC.

1048
00:52:23,582 --> 00:52:24,142
UAC.

1049
00:52:25,242 --> 00:52:26,402
Oh, yeah, UAC.

1050
00:52:27,702 --> 00:52:28,082
UAC.

1051
00:52:28,942 --> 00:52:29,562
UAC.

1052
00:52:30,342 --> 00:52:33,842
The Grand Alpaca United Council.

1053
00:52:33,842 --> 00:52:35,202
we are guac

1054
00:52:35,202 --> 00:52:40,062
I could give a high that

1055
00:52:40,062 --> 00:52:42,002
nice man

1056
00:52:42,002 --> 00:52:43,562
yeah

1057
00:52:43,562 --> 00:52:45,202
the shirts for next year

1058
00:52:45,202 --> 00:52:48,142
wonder what we're gonna do

1059
00:52:48,142 --> 00:52:49,682
it'll be green

1060
00:52:49,682 --> 00:52:51,102
yeah

1061
00:52:51,102 --> 00:52:53,602
with you know guac

1062
00:52:53,602 --> 00:52:54,642
guac

1063
00:52:54,642 --> 00:52:56,702
I like green green's good

1064
00:52:56,702 --> 00:52:59,382
you like military green

1065
00:52:59,382 --> 00:53:01,782
I'm wearing your shirt color I think

1066
00:53:01,782 --> 00:53:02,362
right now

1067
00:53:02,362 --> 00:53:07,442
I usually just do black or gray

1068
00:53:07,442 --> 00:53:11,542
but my wife's gotten into this

1069
00:53:11,542 --> 00:53:14,702
kick of getting me shirts with color on them

1070
00:53:14,702 --> 00:53:19,222
which is cool, I like shirts with color on them mostly

1071
00:53:19,222 --> 00:53:22,242
as long as the color is black

1072
00:53:22,242 --> 00:53:27,442
I can kind of deal with the darker

1073
00:53:27,442 --> 00:53:32,042
in general, no reds, no oranges, none of that stuff

1074
00:53:32,042 --> 00:53:33,922
tie-dye. Yeah. Although

1075
00:53:33,922 --> 00:53:36,142
my Stitch shirt is

1076
00:53:36,142 --> 00:53:37,882
pretty cool. I like

1077
00:53:37,882 --> 00:53:47,095
kind of want to turn the light on but I think if I do it just going to whack everything out Probably Yeah Me through the podcast Probably Are we midway

1078
00:53:48,535 --> 00:53:48,935
Almost.

1079
00:53:49,435 --> 00:53:50,855
It'll take you three hours, right?

1080
00:53:51,235 --> 00:53:53,095
I don't know if my back can take it.

1081
00:53:53,795 --> 00:53:55,015
Yeah, we can wrap up.

1082
00:53:55,755 --> 00:53:56,835
We can wrap up soon.

1083
00:53:57,595 --> 00:53:58,755
I think it's been fun.

1084
00:53:58,855 --> 00:54:01,655
It'll be fun to edit it up and see what we come up with.

1085
00:54:02,315 --> 00:54:02,595
Yeah.

1086
00:54:02,755 --> 00:54:07,135
So, I mean, yeah, this is the first time we've actually done something together in person.

1087
00:54:07,135 --> 00:54:08,635
yeah that's fun

1088
00:54:08,635 --> 00:54:10,595
it actually it is

1089
00:54:10,595 --> 00:54:12,195
we've had six years of that

1090
00:54:12,195 --> 00:54:14,775
but we've never you know

1091
00:54:14,775 --> 00:54:16,775
recorded it for posterity

1092
00:54:16,775 --> 00:54:17,195
yeah

1093
00:54:17,195 --> 00:54:18,615
entertainment

1094
00:54:18,615 --> 00:54:20,955
yeah maybe next year we'll do a

1095
00:54:20,955 --> 00:54:23,555
alpaca interview one

1096
00:54:23,555 --> 00:54:24,735
ah

1097
00:54:24,735 --> 00:54:26,675
might not be a bad gig

1098
00:54:26,675 --> 00:54:27,575
yes

1099
00:54:27,575 --> 00:54:29,635
a little 15 minutes with each

1100
00:54:29,635 --> 00:54:31,155
each member of alpaca

1101
00:54:31,155 --> 00:54:31,855
come in

1102
00:54:31,855 --> 00:54:33,195
sit in the hot seat

1103
00:54:33,195 --> 00:54:35,415
nice

1104
00:54:35,415 --> 00:54:35,955
yeah

1105
00:54:35,955 --> 00:54:38,115
I think that'd be good.

1106
00:54:38,575 --> 00:54:40,975
And then we could literally have fireside chats.

1107
00:54:42,255 --> 00:54:43,955
Well, maybe.

1108
00:54:44,635 --> 00:54:46,735
It'd be weird taking all this out there.

1109
00:54:46,935 --> 00:54:47,375
It would.

1110
00:54:47,535 --> 00:54:48,055
Laptop.

1111
00:54:48,455 --> 00:54:49,135
Just need a laptop.

1112
00:54:49,655 --> 00:54:51,495
Yeah, we have a laptop, no problem.

1113
00:54:51,655 --> 00:54:57,915
But, you know, the mixer and the cloud lifter and the boom arms and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

1114
00:54:58,775 --> 00:55:00,275
He's after the noise reduction.

1115
00:55:01,935 --> 00:55:05,275
Well, no, I mean, you need that big thing for these things.

1116
00:55:05,275 --> 00:55:05,875
Oh, yeah.

1117
00:55:05,955 --> 00:55:27,747

1120
00:55:32,907 --> 00:55:33,647
and then I

1121
00:55:33,647 --> 00:55:35,047
used the

1122
00:55:35,047 --> 00:55:38,367
I'll just say his name

1123
00:55:38,367 --> 00:55:40,107
Carmen at Sweetwater

1124
00:55:40,107 --> 00:55:41,947
they don't sponsor us

1125
00:55:41,947 --> 00:55:44,267
we're not even worthy of being sponsored

1126
00:55:44,267 --> 00:55:45,467
to be honest with you

1127
00:55:45,467 --> 00:55:49,127
but Carmen at Sweetwater.com.

1128
00:55:49,827 --> 00:55:54,187
Carmen is a great guy and helped me get the right gear,

1129
00:55:54,447 --> 00:55:55,947
made great suggestions,

1130
00:55:56,847 --> 00:55:59,547
and saved me some money too, which was really nice.

1131
00:56:00,387 --> 00:56:04,207
Called up and followed up to make sure everything's working.

1132
00:56:04,207 --> 00:56:08,027
If I had any questions or, you know, whatever it is,

1133
00:56:08,067 --> 00:56:11,327
a very, very awesome customer service,

1134
00:56:11,327 --> 00:56:20,987
great full-service audio place for any kind of studio recording type equipment.

1135
00:56:22,267 --> 00:56:25,187
I feel pretty good that I made pretty decent choices

1136
00:56:25,187 --> 00:56:29,947
because he didn't even deviate too much from what I suggested to you.

1137
00:56:30,687 --> 00:56:31,027
No.

1138
00:56:31,107 --> 00:56:33,687
He didn't try to upsell you on anything.

1139
00:56:33,687 --> 00:56:35,887
I mean, I did a pretty good job of that.

1140
00:56:37,067 --> 00:56:37,247
Yeah.

1141
00:56:37,527 --> 00:56:38,907
Well, you know.

1142
00:56:39,047 --> 00:56:39,707
Yes, you did.

1143
00:56:39,707 --> 00:56:44,847
I put all the stuff on your list that I probably would have had on my list.

1144
00:56:45,207 --> 00:56:46,887
Yeah, no, he did a good job.

1145
00:56:46,947 --> 00:56:52,467
And he even said, this is a great, you know, great kit to start with for sure.

1146
00:56:52,567 --> 00:57:02,179
And he said you got a lot of flexibility So you be able to expand and use this for a very long time I mean I did send you a link to that Newman mic Yeah Yeah

1147
00:57:03,679 --> 00:57:04,779
You don't seem interested.

1148
00:57:05,359 --> 00:57:07,499
No, I don't need to spend that much money.

1149
00:57:07,859 --> 00:57:08,699
Not at all.

1150
00:57:10,179 --> 00:57:11,959
No, I think yours sounds very good.

1151
00:57:12,519 --> 00:57:14,719
Yeah, I'm actually a fan of this RE20.

1152
00:57:14,899 --> 00:57:15,159
Yeah.

1153
00:57:15,579 --> 00:57:18,559
It sounds better than I thought it would.

1154
00:57:19,239 --> 00:57:19,579
Really?

1155
00:57:19,839 --> 00:57:20,179
Yeah.

1156
00:57:20,759 --> 00:57:21,119
Nice.

1157
00:57:21,919 --> 00:57:22,319
Yeah.

1158
00:57:22,319 --> 00:57:24,999
It's nice when expectations are exceeded.

1159
00:57:25,719 --> 00:57:27,299
Yeah, I like it.

1160
00:57:28,379 --> 00:57:35,439
And now that I got the little shock mount on there, it's fantastic.

1161
00:57:35,919 --> 00:57:40,199
Before that, I'd touch my table like this and you're just going.

1162
00:57:42,819 --> 00:57:45,139
Like that?

1163
00:57:45,339 --> 00:57:45,959
Yeah, like that.

1164
00:57:45,999 --> 00:57:46,739
That's because of this.

1165
00:57:46,739 --> 00:57:49,059
This is not as good.

1166
00:57:49,819 --> 00:57:50,079
Yeah.

1167
00:57:50,079 --> 00:57:52,559
this arm here.

1168
00:57:52,839 --> 00:57:53,479
I'm offended.

1169
00:57:55,079 --> 00:57:55,879
Well, you know.

1170
00:57:57,399 --> 00:57:58,299
What we got.

1171
00:57:58,479 --> 00:57:59,219
That's what we got.

1172
00:57:59,559 --> 00:58:00,739
We're working with what we have.

1173
00:58:00,939 --> 00:58:02,159
This seems to be doing just fine.

1174
00:58:02,239 --> 00:58:03,479
No, you sound pretty good.

1175
00:58:03,999 --> 00:58:04,739
Thank you.

1176
00:58:06,059 --> 00:58:07,079
You sound great, too.

1177
00:58:07,539 --> 00:58:08,839
I'd say we wrap it up here

1178
00:58:08,839 --> 00:58:11,659
before the screen just almost goes black on us.

1179
00:58:11,759 --> 00:58:12,059
Nice.

1180
00:58:12,079 --> 00:58:12,699
Pretty soon here.

1181
00:58:13,699 --> 00:58:17,159
We're actually a proper skin tone right now.

1182
00:58:17,299 --> 00:58:18,239
Bye, everybody.

1183
00:58:18,619 --> 00:58:19,059
Bye.

1184
00:58:20,079 --> 00:58:27,779
join us next time where we'll talk about equally nonsensical things and try and entertain you for,

1185
00:58:27,979 --> 00:58:28,359
I don't know,

1186
00:58:28,419 --> 00:58:29,419
some period of time.

1187
00:58:30,159 --> 00:58:31,179
We can try.

1188
00:58:31,919 --> 00:58:33,019
Hashtag plans.

1189
00:58:33,559 --> 00:58:33,939
Right.

1190
00:58:34,179 --> 00:58:34,779
Peace out.

1191
00:58:35,099 --> 00:58:35,419
Later.
