Whatever else pops up will do that as well. 64 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: So well again into it. I'm sure Ryan has some 65 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: stories from his life that he will share about not 66 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: being able to sleep, and uh, you know you were 67 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: yapping about that, and and I love the fact that 68 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: people can't sleep because that helps people like me out. 69 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: If everyone slept at a normal time and did not 70 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: have sleep issues, then I would have no one listening 71 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: live to the radio show. So I'm very grateful that 72 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: whoever created humans or whatever, you know, if you think 73 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: they were created or whether they just developed the way 74 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: they did, and that that people just have issues sleeping. 75 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: Do you think cockroaches have problems sleeping? Or bears or 76 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: bats or elephants or you know, I just I think 77 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: of the animal kingdom? Are they is it the same? 78 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: Are there like certain rhinos out in the you know, 79 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: in the in the wild that just can't sleep? And 80 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: did the other rhinos look down upon them? And so 81 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: what can at your sleep? But about you? I just 82 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: I'm curious about these things. I'm more curious as to 83 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: why you're saying that. You basically get paid off of 84 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: other people suffering they can't sleep, so it helps you out. 85 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: That's basically well yeah, well no, it is the hours 86 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: that I have. If I was doing a big daytime show, 87 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: like if I'm like, I'm trying to think like Cowherd 88 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: or Gottlie one of those guys, then I wouldn't need 89 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: people to have bad sleep schedules. But I without the 90 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: nocturnal list, I got nothing. I got. I need things 91 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: that go bump in the night because those things that 92 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: go bump in the night that wake people up, then 93 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: they end up listening because they can't go back to 94 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: sleep without bad dreams. You know, the the Boogeyman. I 95 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: don't know what everyone described. Then it wouldn't have much. 96 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: But you're already a multimillionaire, ben you are you are? 97 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: That's that's the that's a lie I am. I am 98 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: in debts. The bank owns a lot of what I 99 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: claim to own, but the bank actually owns a lot 100 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: of that. So uh, As I I point out to people, 101 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, friends that want to buy a house, my advice, 102 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: I have a boilerplate response when I said said, oh, 103 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to buy a house. 104 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to be a homeowner. And 105 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: I always point out to people said, listen, I only 106 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: bought at home. I was pretty old when I got 107 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: into the home game because I didn't have any money. 108 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: But when I got a house, I don't really own 109 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: the house because the only way you own the house 110 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: is if the house is paid off. So really, what 111 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: you're doing instead of paying a landlord, you're paying the bank, 112 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: which is the landlord. And you know you own the 113 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: house as long as you keep paying off the house. 114 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: You're paying your mortgage every month. And if you don't 115 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: pay your mortgage, you don't own the house anymore. The 116 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: house will be reclaimed by the bank. And then even 117 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: the great thing way well, way the life works is 118 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: even when you pay off the bank, then you have 119 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: this and called property taxes. Would you have anyway, But 120 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: if you don't pay your property taxes, then they'll put 121 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: like a lean on your house and so you'll lose 122 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: your house that way, So you always end up having 123 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: to pay someone. That's my life, My life life lesson, 124 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: Ryan McBain is that you always have to pay someone. 125 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: You're saying all this probably in some big gas mansion 126 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: three stories. Okay, it's not. No, I am sitting here 127 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: and I'll get into it as we go through the 128 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: fifth Hour podcast today. But I'm sitting in a house 129 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: that is only partially done, only partially and partially done, 130 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: and I had to move in. Though I had to 131 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: move in, there's still contractors right now behind the wall. 132 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: They're working. Fortunately you can't hear them as much, but 133 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: they're doing some work right now. And uh, and I've 134 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: been sleeping on an air mattress for the last like 135 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: week to ten days. I've been sleeping on an air 136 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: match So have they been working on the third floor yet, 137 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: or how's that working? No, there working on the sixth floor. 138 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: And they're trying to say they're trying to fix the elevator. 139 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: Right now. I have to walk up to the sixth floor. 140 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: So it's a problem. It's a pain. But yes, yes, 141 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: uh and uh. I have a chauffeur uh named Bentley. 142 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: That's my show for Bentley the Chauffeurs. So it's it's 143 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: very nice. It's very nice. Uh. So let me get 144 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: to the old world cure. So this pop back up 145 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: on my radar, and I am now going to give advice. 146 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: Now before I give this story, you should never I'm 147 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: going to give you advice, but you should never take 148 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: advice from a podcast or an overnight radio person because 149 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: it will just turn out to be a fiasco, just 150 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: a total debacle. So you should not take the advice. 151 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: But I will give the advice you should. You can 152 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: give advice, you don't have to take the advice. So 153 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: last weekend was a rather long one. Moving sucks. We 154 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: we all complained about that. I don't need to go 155 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: down that road. I think every man, woman, and child agrees. 156 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: Moving sucks. It's a hand in the ass um And 157 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: so last weekend I was away from my post at 158 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio because it was the weekend. I don't 159 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: work on the weekend other than like Sunday night. So 160 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: my my wife was battling a cold and because of work, 161 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: you know, she she had to take a COVID test 162 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: to make sure she didn't have the COVID. And so 163 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: we we went to one of those driving COVID test 164 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: places because of course she had the COVID. I probably 165 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 1: had the COVID. So test came back negative. Great. She 166 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: didn't have the COVID, but she felt like shit. And 167 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: she had been sick for several days. And I thought 168 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: nothing of it because I was like, well, that's her. 169 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: I'm fine, that's she's sick. But then last Saturday, I 170 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: started feeling a little under the weather. You know that 171 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: feeling again when you you kind of know you're starting 172 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: to get sick. There's something in your throat, something your 173 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: nose a little bit. Yeah, And so I felt that 174 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, fuck, you know, I kick 175 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: it sick. I just took time off last week to move. 176 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: I took a few nights off. I can't get sick people, 177 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: you know, I need to work. And I felt it 178 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: coming on. I felt the sniffles, and I felt the little, 179 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of twitch in my throat. I 180 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: was like, oh crap. So we were we were dinner 181 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: and uh and on on the way back to to 182 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: the house, we made an emergency run to get medical attention. 183 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: And what I did was I used the Mallard maneuver. Ryan. 184 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: I stopped by the local grocery store on the way home, 185 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: and I stormed in. I went as fast as I could, 186 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: and I went to the vegetable area there where they 187 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: had all the nice vegetables. And I immediately grabbed a 188 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: head of garlic. And I then ran back to the 189 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: cash here to pay as quickly as I could, frantically 190 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: paying for the for the garlic. Yes, And so then 191 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: I I went in the car. I opened up the 192 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: head of garlic. I took a clove of garlic off, 193 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: and I sliced it in half. And that was my medicine. 194 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: I started sucking the garlic, the raw garlic, like a 195 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: hard candy. What's wrong with you? What are you fighting? Vampires? 196 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: Hold on a second, all right, So I did this 197 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: as long as I could. You know, garlic is pretty pungent. 198 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: It'll burn your burn your mouth after a while, raw garlic. 199 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: If I did this as long as I could, and 200 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: I did it again before I went to sleep, and 201 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: the next day, hand to god, I woke up felt fine. No, no, no, 202 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: it's not. Garlic is a natural antibiotic. In fact, in 203 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: the I say it's the old world cure. But before 204 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: modern medicine, people treated a lot of illnesses with garlic. 205 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't. I'm not making it up. I'm telling you 206 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: can read about it online. And I learned about this 207 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: years ago from an old DJ that that told me this, 208 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: this garlic check, which was really when I first learned 209 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: about it. Ryan. It was for laryngitis, which is the 210 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: only thing that can really knock you out of broadcasting 211 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: if you're a radio guy or girl, is laryngitis, because otherwise, 212 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, you can find, you feel bad, you can 213 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: still talk um. And so this guy's like, hey, yeah, 214 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: I had an issue with with laryngitis. And he said, 215 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: here's what you do. He says, you take a clove 216 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: of garlic and you slice it in half and you 217 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: suck it like a jolly Roger hard candy before bed, 218 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: and all those garlic juices, the natural antibiotic powers of 219 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: garlic will go in through your throat and will attack 220 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: the infection that is developed in your throat. And you 221 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: do this right before you get bad, and it will 222 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: work while you're sleeping, and you do it for a 223 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: couple of days and you'll end up your your voice 224 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: will come right back. And I was like, I was desperate, 225 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: as like I needed to do something because I I've 226 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: always been right, I don't want to miss a lot 227 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: of work, and I love radio and I don't miss it. 228 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: And so I did it, and I thought, well, this 229 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: is probably bullshit. You know, this is not you know, 230 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: this is bullshoy. This ain't gonna work. And it fucking worked, 231 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: and I couldn't believe it. And I'm like, this is crazy. 232 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: And I've done it. Every time I've had a voice issue, 233 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: I've done it. And then I learned from somebody else 234 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: that you can do it when you're about when you're 235 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: starting to feel sick. But the key to that is 236 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: you have to and this is really painful. Um, and again, 237 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: you should not take this advice. This is terrible advice. 238 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: You should not take advice from me at all. But 239 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: what I did was on an empty stomach. They said, 240 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: when you start and you're feeling a cold coming on, 241 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: like an empty stomach. I didn't do it this time 242 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: because I had I had a dinner before. But you 243 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: on an empty stomach, you you eat, uh, you kind 244 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: of slice it up thin, and you eat a clove 245 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: of garlic and then that sits in your stomach on 246 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: an empty stomach, and that helps the antibiotic powers of 247 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: garlic will help fight whatever is in your What do 248 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: you laugh forgive me or what you could do is 249 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: get some warm water mixing, mix in some kay and 250 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: pepper and then gargle that for fifteen minutes and you'll 251 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: probably get the same results. It was very very powerful. 252 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: Well that's powerful too. That is probably no no, that 253 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: you're you're not wronging that. And there is another there's 254 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: another potion that somebody told me about that involves gargling whiskey. 255 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: I think not not whiskey. What is it vodka? Trying 256 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: to think of the right coming. It's some alcohol with cayenne, 257 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: pepper and a couple of other things and you gargle 258 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: that and that'll have if you have laryngitis. That will 259 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: also help with the laryngit. But but the garlic stuff, 260 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: I am to the day I die. I am a 261 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: cult is the power of garlic. I love it. It 262 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,239 Speaker 1: is wonderful and I don't have to worry about vampires 263 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: or anything like that. And I'm good to go. I 264 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: told you about this, By the way, it was an 265 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: old DJ. When was worked, was that it was DJ 266 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: van helsing or it now. I was a DJ kiss 267 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: FM back in the old days when I started in 268 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: a radio. Vampire hunter. Yeah, no, I'm telling you it worked. 269 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: It works for me. I'll bet you listen, make a 270 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: deal with you. Next time you're feeling like you're gonna 271 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: get sick, Ryan, remember this conversation. And it's the great 272 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: thing is it's cheap. It's like the conspiracy that now 273 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you should avoid doctors, said, obviously go 274 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: to doctors. When I'm really fucked up, I'll go to 275 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: doctors and I'll get medical attention. I think medicine is great, 276 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: but like, you could save a lot of money. Right 277 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: if garlic can cure a lot of the basic stuff, 278 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: you don't have to go to the doctor and get 279 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: real antibiotics. You can just get nature's antibiotic. Wouldn't that 280 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: be the way to go. That's why I used can peppery. 281 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: So for you, your garlic is kim yes, yes, okay, 282 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: oh good, No, I'm glad I've used a little kayen pepper. 283 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: I I love it. There's like a cayenne pepper cinnamon 284 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: type mix that I think I have to I have 285 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: to look it up.

They asked 302 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: me to the social media guys are like, hey, can 303 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: you can you post stuff so people can see you 304 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: content on the weekends.

I 306 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: don't do it that much, but I'll post some photos 307 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: randomly and last weekend, this is actually before I had 308 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: the cold scare. Um give you a peek behind the 309 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: curtain on my skills. I have a new side hustle 310 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: that I think you listening can appreciate. Trash collector. Trash collector. Yes, 311 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: um So, I posted some photos of a bunch of 312 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: water bottles that I had picked up along the way. 313 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: And as the late great Paul Harvey would say, you're 314 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: going to get the elastic, fantastic and somewhat gymnastic rest 315 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: of the story. So, when I moved into the Halfway 316 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: House where I had lived for the last couple of months, 317 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: from like mid June to mid August, I had started 318 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: collecting water bottles because we didn't have a water system 319 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: that we could drink like filtered water, so we were 320 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: drinking water bottles at the place. Um So, I got 321 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: as many water bottles I could get. We drink a 322 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: lot of water the family at the Halfway House. And 323 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: so for some reason I got this in my head. 324 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: I remember I was in line at Costco buying water bottles, 325 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: and when I checked out, the water bottles were listed 326 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: for like to nine nine or something like that, but 327 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: they said check out it was like more than that. 328 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: It was a couple of dollars more. And then I 329 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: looked at the receipt and it was like they had 330 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: put in the California Redemption Value CRV, so that was 331 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: factored in, so you actually paid more. But then to 332 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: get that money back, the way it works is you 333 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: have to have the bottle of water bottles recycled and 334 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 1: they'll give you the money back. So I got this 335 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: Michigas and I said, you know what, I'm gonna see 336 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: if I can make a little money on the side 337 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: a little side house. So I right, right, So I 338 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. So I decided to collect all the 339 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: water bottles that I was getting, and then I tried 340 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: to get as many other water bottles when I would 341 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: when I would be out and I'd see a water 342 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: bottle on the side of the you know the path 343 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: I was walking, and I grab it. I'd snatch it 344 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: um and I just give as many water bottles I could. 345 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: And this this was my thing. And so then it 346 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: was time to cash in my winnings last weekend, and 347 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: I was convinced that I hit the jackpot. I was 348 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: bragging to my friends and some of my relatives. I 349 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: had taken photos and I said this, I am about 350 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: to take advantage of the California Refund tax a refund 351 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: value whatever's called. And so I loaded up the malamobile 352 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: with I think it was four or five bags of 353 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: like their plastic bags filled to the very These are large, 354 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: large trash bags filled with water bottle. So I head 355 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: down to the local recycling place. I get there and 356 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: the damn things closed. I'm like, what then they were 357 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: at the lunch, but I only had limited time because 358 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: I had something else, another thing I did do. So 359 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: I'm driving around car filled the water bottles. I'm on 360 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: my phone trying to find a place. The one that 361 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: pops up I go to. It's a seed location on 362 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,239 Speaker 1: the wrong side of the tracks. And I made the 363 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: journey to this this water bottle recycling place right and 364 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: I end up doing the walk machine. I pull up. 365 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I'm gonna get so much. And there 366 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: was a lot of people at this place, and I 367 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: gotta tell you, Ryan, it was so depressing. It was 368 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: so these are These are people down on their luck, disheveled, 369 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people addicted whatever poverty. I felt so bad. 370 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: You should you probably riding in a Bentley pulling up 371 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: all these damn water bottles. I wasn't pulling up Bentley, 372 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: but I had a better car than they had, and 373 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 1: they were they were I know, Oh my god, I 374 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: felt so bad. I felt really bad for like these 375 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: They were like little kids there that were dragging water 376 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: bottles with their parents and on. It was terrible. And 377 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: here I am the jackass, total monkey, in the middle 378 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: of all this, and I've got you know, I'm just 379 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: standing there la la la la, la la la, in 380 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: the middle of a madhouse. And Nay, I was like, well, 381 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: I'm here, I might as well, you know, finish the journey, right. 382 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: I didn't know where there was another recycled place. So 383 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: I then I take all these bags out of the car, 384 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: and then the way it works is you have to 385 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: put the all the water bottles into these plastic bins 386 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: and then they weigh the bin and then whatever the 387 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 1: weight is, they do the math on that. Then they 388 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: give you them out. And so all that hard work, 389 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: all that effort for two months hoarding water bottles, four 390 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: or five bags of water bottles, trash bags filled with 391 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: water bottles, and I ended up getting Ryan sixteen dollars 392 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: and nine cents. That was my take. You probably more 393 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: than you know from doing that. Now, can I complain? 394 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: Can I complain. I would like to complain. Can I complain? 395 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: So let me let me compait. So I think I 396 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: got screwed. The waiting system screwed me because per bottles 397 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: like five or ten cents. I think it's like ten 398 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: cents or something like that. This is what it says. 399 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: In fact, I've got a water bottle. I don't you 400 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: can hear that? I've got a water here from Costco. Yeah, 401 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: it says Hawaii, Connecticut five cents or ten cents California's 402 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: CRV So each water bottle worth ten cents, so fine, 403 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: but they don't count each water bottle. I'd be willing 404 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: to put each water bottle into a machine to get 405 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: my ten cents per water bottle. So I think I 406 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: got screwed. I did the math on this, and sixteen 407 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: dollars and nine cents equals three hundred thirty eight point 408 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: two water bottles. How do you get a point to? 409 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how you get a point to on that. 410 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: But that's why I will guarantee you that I had 411 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 1: a minimum of one bottles in each bag, and I 412 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: had five bags, So using Mallard math, that's at least 413 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: five hundred bottles. But I only got credited for three eight. 414 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: I had way more than that. And then I had 415 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: an epiphany which I did not come up with my own. 416 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: Ryan uh. Some some listeners actually pointed this out to me, 417 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: some frugal members of the Mallem militia helping out yours truly, 418 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: and they were telling me. These p ones were telling 419 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: me I had screwed up, that I would have gotten 420 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: more money if I had crushed each plastic bottle. Now, 421 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: let's get scientifically. That's what I say. Why the funk 422 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: would that matter? It's the same thing. It doesn't matter. 423 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: They claim that a crushed water bottle weighs more than 424 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: a regular water bottle. I don't think that's true. That's 425 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 1: the dumbest thing I've ever heard, right, That's what I thought. Now. 426 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: I couldn't I could see an argument like a m 427 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: a soda can, right, aluminum can or beer can. I 428 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: couldn't see that making sense that if you crush an 429 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: aluminum can, because it's more condensed, it would weigh more. 430 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: I don't even know if that's true. The water bottle 431 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: thing made no sense to me. But here's the thing 432 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: that were When I was online with the on the 433 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: wrong side of the tracks with a lot of poor 434 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: people that were down on the luck, who were also 435 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: in line with me giving back water bottle a lot 436 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 1: of their not everybody, but most of the people had 437 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: crushed water bottles. Are they savvy veterans? Do they know 438 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 1: what they're doing? And I don't know what I'm doing? 439 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: Could that be the case? Or they're all idiots? That 440 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: is also true. That is also yeah. That is also 441 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: collecting bottles. And I could see you walking around late 442 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: at night digging through your neighbor's trash. Oh yeah, dress sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, 443 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: finding off raccoons. There's no question about it. I mean, 444 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: come on, absolute bleep and LOUTEI man, absolute bleep and lutely, 445 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: are you kidding me? My goodness. But anyway, so I 446 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: was bummed out by that. But I would like to 447 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: recommend maybe there is a place like this, like I 448 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: would again, I would be willing to go. If there's 449 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: a machine at a store somewhere like a Walmart. You 450 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: go in with your plastic bags. Maybe it's in the 451 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: back of the Walmart, and then one by one you 452 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: put the plastic bottles in the machine and then it 453 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 1: shoots ten cents out or even if they wait till 454 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: it's done and then they give you the dollar amount. 455 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: But I'd be cool with that. I think that would 456 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: be wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. So anyway, that 457 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: is the de leo on that.

Now, moving on, we have contractor Betty 469 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: contractor so the work, as I pointed out here in 470 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: this podcast, the work continues feverishly on the Mallard mansion 471 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: two point oh and I have been living upstairs in 472 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: a corner of the house, which is done they got 473 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: a few things done. The hard working, the carpenters, the plumbers, 474 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: the painters, all these different people have been finishing up 475 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 1: the house. But right now I have a one bathroom, 476 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: two bedroom, my studio, my little radio studio which they finished, 477 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: which I'm in right now. You can't see because it's 478 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, radio podcasting whatever. But so that's all it's done. 479 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: And there's no living room, there's no kitchen. The backyards 480 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 1: covered in glass because they changed the windows and they 481 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: decided to throw the windows down on the grass and 482 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: there's broken glass everywhere. Um. And so the rest of 483 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: the house is weeks, if not like months away from 484 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: being done. It's like constructions. But I'm very proud to 485 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: pass on that I had a big contractor Benny moment, 486 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: big accomplishment this past week because when we moved in here, 487 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: this place was caked and dust. Everything covered in dust. 488 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: When they put drywall up, the particles go everywhere. It's 489 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: a big ship show. So they had to replace some 490 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 1: of the drywall here, and so there's stuff everywhere. Uh. 491 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: And the painting also creates a big mass particles and 492 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: stuff and stuff that you should not have in your 493 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: lungs and since the team had not finished the rest 494 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: of the house. We were just living, as I said, 495 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: in the corner of the house. And so we left 496 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: where we were staying at this local hotel and we 497 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: moved in and I was like, there's gonna be dust 498 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,479 Speaker 1: blown all over the place. We gotta do something about this. 499 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: And so I went down the home depot and for 500 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,719 Speaker 1: the first time ever, along with the assistance of my 501 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: wife and the YouTube, I made a zipper wall. Have 502 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: you ever made a zipper wall? I have not. You 503 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: know what a zipper wall is, right? Not? Okay, alright, alright, alright, 504 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: so I'll tell you it's I didn't know either until 505 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: I had a water league at the old Mallard mansion 506 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: and then that was a ship show. But so, a 507 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: a zip wall. A zipper wall is where you you 508 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: know that plastic sheeting they put around during construction to 509 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: keep stuff out of certain places. So you you wrap 510 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: the plastic sheeting around and then you have you create 511 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: a door. It's called the zipper wall, and it's a 512 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: zipper so that way you can walk through the zipper 513 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: part of it. Right, you can walk through the zipper 514 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: part of it and you're good to go. And uh, 515 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's just just wonderful, just just great and 516 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: uh and all that and so, uh fine, I needed 517 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: a zipper wall. So I went on the YouTube and 518 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: I watched the d I Y do it yourself videos 519 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: and I went to work and it was really simple. 520 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: And I don't know that I'll ever need this again. 521 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: I would like to think, I would like to hope 522 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: that I will not. Um but it's it's pretty neat. 523 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: So you buy the plastic wrap, which is in that 524 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: expensive it's in the painting section at home depot, my 525 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: home depot. So you buy the big plastic sheets that 526 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: you wrap around where you want to cover. And then 527 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: there's this like ten dollar zipper stick on zipper that 528 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: you buy, and then you need a really sharp knife. 529 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: And so the way that works is you wrap the 530 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: plastic wrap the contract to wrap around where you want 531 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: to cover and keep the dirt out of. So you 532 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: you tape that up to the wall. Then you place 533 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: the zipper, the stick on zipper it's got this real 534 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: thick uh you know stumids. You stick that on the 535 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: wall there and then you unzip it. You zip the 536 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: zipper up and then you put your knife and you 537 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: cut a hole through the plastic all the way through 538 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: the in the middle of the zipper, and then that's it. 539 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: That's all you have to do, and you're done. You've 540 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: created a zipper wall and it really works. Well, it's 541 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: worked for the last like ten days. It's it's great, 542 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: it's wonderful. We we are still using it myself. Yeah, 543 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: that's about it. That's about it. Most of the time 544 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: I watched those YouTube videos on how to do ship 545 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: and I am completely lost, completely lost. I have no 546 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: no idea what's going on. So are you, hey, any man, Ryan, 547 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: are you able to know? Um? I recently, uh, maybe 548 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: about a year ago, I bought a desk and I 549 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: had no idea how to put it together. There were 550 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: like no instructions. Luckily I had the YouTube, and I'm saying, 551 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm saying to myself, like, really, like you guys couldn't 552 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: put instructions to put this table together. I have to 553 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: go on YouTube. That's the only way I was able 554 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: to put this thing together, or I would have been lost, 555 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: totally lost. Yeah. Yeah, YouTube is great. It's it's absolutely wonderful. 556 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: And building stuff sucks. I'm right there with you. I 557 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: love going to Ikea. You ever go to Ikea. There's 558 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: a big one in Burbank. It's like, I think it's 559 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: the biggest Ikea west of the Mississippi in in the 560 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: United States. So so anyway, I love going to but 561 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: the building that that stuff is just a nightmare. It's 562 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: just a ship show. It's uh and uh. So I 563 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: have a my brother in law is he's on the 564 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: crew that makes sets for movies and TV shows and 565 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: stuff like that, and so he's really good at building 566 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: stuff like that because that's what they do. They'll buy 567 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff from my Kea for TV shows 568 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: and movies or whatever, and they get they have to 569 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: build it real quick, and that's what So we'll sometimes 570 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: call him to help out and all that, or I'll 571 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: just try to watch a YouTube video and I will 572 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: admit one time I was trying to build this like 573 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: closet thing, this this mini closet for the back of 574 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: the room that I had purchased from It's either Low's 575 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: or home Depot. And I remember getting this thing and 576 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: trying to build it, and I ended up having to 577 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: return it because I could not. I could not. I did. 578 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: I returned it. I could not build it. No matter 579 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: what I tried. I tried. I tried, and I was like, 580 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: I just I should just return this. I can't. I'm 581 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: not gonna work. And they were like asking why I 582 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: was returning. I was like, well it was you know, 583 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,959 Speaker 1: I was like that was bullshit. I was like, well 584 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: they're missing some parts or something like that, missing parts, 585 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: the parts that we're missing with my head, you know, 586 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: that was the the issue. So some places have a 587 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: thing called white what's called white Glove service where they oh, yeah, 588 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: when they bring it up and it set up for 589 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: you right then and there, and that's a beautiful thing. 590 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: But I'm cheap. I don't like to spend money. I 591 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: don't have to spend so I think I could do 592 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: It's like how hard could I How hard could it be? 593 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: I could build? I could build this, and then I 594 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: can't build it. So you shouldn't be so cheap. Your 595 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: time is important, right that that is true, the most 596 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: important thing that we have. Yeah, I'm a big believer that. 597 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: And as the older I've gotten that is that is true, 598 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: that the finite amount of time I've I've learned to 599 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: value time more. Before I didn't really value time. But 600 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: you only get a finite amount of it. Right when 601 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: it's you don't know how much you have. And when 602 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: it's gone, it's gone, and you can't buy more. There's 603 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: no way to buy more. So yeah, um, anyway, all right, 604 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: well there you go. Uh, we should put the baby 605 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: to bed. Although I did see some science stories that 606 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: we were amusing. Did you see that fifty six percent 607 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: of Americans admit reading a book during the summer. You 608 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: know why they read the book? No idea to look 609 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: smarter to their friends. Isn't that the Lebron James move. 610 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,919 Speaker 1: Remember Lebron has been accused of doing this over the years, 611 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: where he will during the NBA playoffs, he likes to 612 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: brag about how he gets off social media and then 613 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: he'll carry around a book and the dope media will 614 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: occasionally ask Lebron about the book, and Lebron has been 615 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: caught not knowing anything about the book, like he doesn't 616 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: actually read the book. Remember there's a Godfather. I think 617 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: it was the god Was it the Godfather? That was 618 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: the famous story where they asked him about the god 619 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: his favorite part of the Godfather, and he just had 620 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,879 Speaker 1: nothing and it was it was bad. It was bad. 621 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: The same people that are uh these athletes after the game, 622 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: they're talking to reporters and they have these like glasses on. 623 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, why are you wearing glasses? Wait? Wait, they 624 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: have the glasses on to make them seem smarter. I'm like, dude, 625 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: you're not like, who are you trying to kid around here? 626 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: You're not fooling anybody. You don't need to wear glasses. Yeah. 627 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 1: Well that is a benefit though, is I've gotten older. 628 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: I didn't have glasses until maybe six seven years ago, 629 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: I think, um and so I had reading glasses, but 630 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: I didn't have real glasses. But it is a side benefit. 631 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: Like when I was in elementary school, we always picked 632 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: on the kids that had glasses. Hey, point dexter. You know. 633 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: But as an adult, it's one of those weird things. 634 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: As an adult you are seen as as more scholarly. 635 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: Um and and also a little gray hair helps out 636 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: with that as well. It helps out like they think 637 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: you're more knowledgeable and you have more wisdom. Well, it 638 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: depends on where the gray hair is. Ben just gonna 639 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: put that out there. You know, what do you what 640 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,479 Speaker 1: do you get me? The older I get I every 641 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: once in a while, wake up the morning, go I 642 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: didn't know you could get gray hair there. Oh yeah, 643 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: that's that's really weird. And then you're like, do you 644 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: leave it to you get rid of it? I mean, 645 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,399 Speaker 1: it's just weird, man, It's like, dude, of all places there, 646 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: I know. Well, the thing that kills me is I've 647 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: lost a little hair on the top a fair amounts 648 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: where I wear caps all the time, baseball cap. The 649 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,879 Speaker 1: thing that kills me is I have so much hair 650 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 1: growing in like my ears and my fucking nose. And 651 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, what the funk? I'm like, I remember when 652 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: I was a kid and my grandfather, the guy that 653 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,320 Speaker 1: I learned Yiddish from, he had so much hair in 654 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: his ears and his nose, and I was like, what 655 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 1: the fund is that? You know? He must have some problem. Well, 656 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: now look at me. Now I'm that guy. I'm not 657 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 1: that I'm not has at his age, but I'm becoming 658 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: that guy. So you should do that for the years 659 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: for the hair at the topic. I don't need him 660 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: for the years. I was gonna say, your boy Tom Brady, 661 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 1: that's what he does. Uh? Does you do their plugs 662 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: that Lebron Lebron does? That doesn't Lebron do that a 663 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: lot of people do it. Yeah, if you had the money, 664 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: why wouldn't you. It's pretty pretty expensive. But if you 665 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: could do it right now the problem is you don't 666 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: want to do it, but you want to have like 667 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: the Marv Albert to pay. You don't want that. You 668 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: don't want that. You'd rather I just rather wear baseball hats. Yeah, 669 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: I'd rather be be doing that. Uh. Here's one remote 670 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: living three and four employees want the ability to work 671 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: from home forever, of course forever. That's the dream, forever forever. Yeah. Uh, 672 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: let's see here. Drinking eight glasses of water a day 673 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: maybe key to healthy heart for decades, maybe a key. Wow. 674 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: I mean you drink what's mainly in your body, you 675 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: can live longer. Okay, Well, the thing about that is 676 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: that that that's an arbitrary number. I read a different 677 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 1: study that said that's an arbitrary number that they came 678 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 1: up with eight glasses day. But it's not actually eight 679 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: water like glasses a day. It's you get water out 680 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: of stuff that you eat. There's like water in everything 681 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: that you consume, right, So it's people think it's eight 682 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: glasses of water to day, but it's actually uh it's 683 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: not eight full water glasses because you're depending on what 684 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: you eat. You get water out of that stuff. Point 685 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: that out, you'll be fine again. I'm holding my that's 686 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: my water bottle. There, I have that. Now you could 687 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: go full teeth. Well you thought that was something those Yeah, 688 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: that is holding money in my hands here. Now you 689 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: know the legend on Brady. Tom Brady the TV twelve formula. 690 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: He claimed in a radio interview at e I when 691 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: I was working there. He claimed that he drinks twenty 692 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 1: five glasses of water per day and adds electrolytes. That's 693 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: two and a half gallons of water at that Brady 694 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: claims to drink. I don't trust anything that man says. No, 695 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: that's bullshit. That's he is full of shit. I think that. 696 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

Am I wrong? Am 777 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 1: I getting this wrong? No? But people are capable of 778 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 1: good and evil, like everyone's got more than one side 779 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: to them. Is I think that's the I think that's true. 780 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it is I don't know.
