Hey, it's a beautiful, sunny summer day with puffy white clouds. Or maybe it's dark gray clouds, maybe it's raining, maybe it's hailing where you are. Thunder. And lightning. Maybe you're being torn apart by cats regardless of your personal situation. Thank you for listening to Mike Dell's world, And good evening. Good morning, good afternoon, whatever the case may be on the recorded Mike Dell's world.
But, uh, yeah, I'm trying out this new live thing. Uh, Todd gave me some, uh, time on this streaming server, and I figured I would give it a try and see how it goes. So let me know if you guys are listening, if you've, uh, found me or not. Uh, earlier today, it seems like, it seems like I've been on the microphone all day. But, uh, yeah, I was on with Adam Curry, Dave Jones, and Todd Cochran on the Podcasting 2.0 Show,
uh, over at, uh, podcast index.org. Uh, you can find it in most of the podcasting 2.0 apps and also [email protected], search for Podcasting 2.0. So, yeah, now it's officially, uh, six o'clock maybe. Uh, maybe that's what I needed to get, uh, pod verse to, to do its thing here. And speaking of pod verse and other apps like that, be sure to go over to new podcast apps.com and download yourself a modern podcast app to listen to this show and, and other great shows that are over there.
And if everything goes as planned, you should get a notification every so often that I'm going live and some of the other podcasts that you might listen to, like podcasting 2.0, geek News Central, uh, the new Media Show, uh, a bunch of 'em. Uh, there's a whole bunch that are, are doing this, and, uh, it's growing every day, so it's gonna be great. Uh, this is just an audio stream. At some point I may add Facebook Live or YouTube Live
or something like that for the video side. But for the time being, I'll, I'll just play with this audio server thing. But the whole podcasting 2.0 project, and I know I'm not supposed to talk about podcasting on this show all the time, but darn it, uh, that's what I'm testing, so why not? Uh, and I know some of you guys have been, been with me a long time and realized that, uh, well,
podcasting is a big part of what I do all the time. So , not that I do this show all the time, but yeah, what can I say? It's live thing. It's a, it's a little different, uh, but it's cool. And, you know, with Podcasting 2.0, if you're set up for it, you can send Satoshis, uh, with Pod Verse and many other apps. Uh, cast Amatic, uh, pod Friend. I don't know, there's a whole list of 'em I should go over and look. , how about that? Uh, let's see. New podcast apps.com. That was just there.
So, pod verse, cast of Pod, uh, let's see. Uh, Curio Caster podcast, attic Pod Friend, uh, I guess Dystopia. Never really heard of that one. Uh, podcast Guru. Uh, of course, right on Podcast Index as well. Podcast index.org. Uh hmm. Well, I'm looking Fountain. That's another one. Customatic. Uh, I guess that's it. Breeze is another one. Pod lp, uh, let's see, audio Wave. Never heard of that one either. So there's a lot of 'em. Pod Tricks, Finks , uh, antenna Pod, Ivy fm Anytime podcast player.
And not all of these have everything. Uh, pod versus is the one that I use, and that has a lot of the stuff. It has the value for value, or you can stream Satoshis or send a Boosto Graham. And if you do send a Boosto Graham while I'm live, or maybe in the next episode I'll mention you, uh, it's not too hard to get set up. Uh, easiest way I've found so far is go over to get lb.com. Get lb.com, and you sign up for an account over there and you get a, an address.
It's known as a lightning address. Don't worry about all the geekery, but it's called a lightning address. And then you can fund your wallet over there. I think the minimum's 30 bucks. But, uh, you know that, that's an awful lot of Satoshis. So , you can, uh, support podcasts. You love that way, and, uh, stream SATs that way. And if you're a podcaster and you're using anything blueberry, you can, uh, also link that to your blueberry account and receive Satoshis from people.
So it's a, it's a really cool way to interact with your audience and maybe earn a few pennies or dollars or lots of dollars. And, you know, it all depends. It's value for value thing. If you get value out of what you're listening to, you give a little value back, uh, time calendar, treasure, as Adam says. But, uh, again, I was on the Podcasting 2.0 show today with Adam Curry, Dave Jones,
and Todd Cochran. And, uh, we talked all about, uh, blueberries, implementation of the podcast 2.0 stuff, and, and, uh, didn't really get into the whole list. But, uh, let me bring up that list because it's pretty extensive. Uh, and, and what I'll do is I'll go through these and, and explain why you as a listener and or a podcaster might be interested in this. So gimme bear with me here. So gotta go to my documents. Yeah, there and there. I know this is, this is compelling Live radio, isn't it?
Uh, . All right. Yeah, I got a double click, and I think that's the, I don't know, that's not the doc I wanted, but you hate that you open a doc and it ain't the one you wanted. I should have had this all ready to go, but I didn't. Okay. So as a podcaster or a podcast listener, there's a thing called Podcast Ping. It runs in the background. Uh, if you're hosting with Blueberry, or the show you're listening to is hosting with Blueberry and many other apps
and, and, uh, you know, hosts out there. So it's not just us that are doing it, but, uh, pod Ping is one of those things that,
uh, it helps speed things up. You know, a lot of, a lot of people, they put out a new podcast and then they wait, and they wait, and they wait, and they wait for Spotify or Apple or Google or, you know, a lot of these other legacy apps, I love that term, legacy apps that don't have the pod ping functionality and feature, uh, takes 'em a really long time with this, uh, pod Ping. It should cut that time down to damn near in instantly. It doesn't always work that way,
but it's does pretty dang good. So, some of these new podcast apps, as soon as whoever publishes an episode and using Pod Ping, uh, or has a on a service that uses Pod Ping, it gets the, it gets the, uh, episode right away, or makes, makes it available right away in that app. So that's kind of cool. Another tag or feature, you know, we, we we're not calling 'em tags. That's geeky. Another feature is the transcript and Blueberry
implemented the, uh, transcript. Uh, both you, you can sign up for a service that will make a transcript and automatically put it into your feed. So apps that will run the transcript, you can, you know, you can look at it on that and also on our Blueberry Player. So if you go over to mike dell.com and listen to this episode later, there'll be a CC button on the Player, and a little drawer will pop, pop out, and you'll see the transcript and you'll see a little highlighter that
highlights each sentence as I speak it. So that's kind of cool. And transcripts, you know, help hearing impaired, uh, get the gist of your podcast. Uh, you know, the transcripts are not absolutely perfect, but they're pretty darn good. Uh, the Locked tag or Locked feature isn't really too much for the podcast listener. Other, other than it just, it prevents your show from being pulled to a different host, uh, without your permission.
And that was a problem a while back when, uh, a certain podcast hosting company, uh, you know, people would, would hijack somebody's feed and, and put up another instance of it, uh, without their permission. And, you know, it's just, yeah, poor, poor planning there on their part. But funding, that's another feature that's implemented in my feed here. If you are on an app that has the funding thing, you hit the little dollar sign and it'll take you over to buy me a coffee and
you can buy me a coffee. So, uh, it's, it used to say, buy me a beer. But, uh, I, I'm, I'm laying off the beer, which I'll talk about here in a little while. Let's see, chapters, uh, I have not, I have not implemented chapters yet, but I will, uh, eventually. But what that is, is you could put the art, you know, have the art change every, you know, when you're talking about a subject,
you could have a picture up on there. You know, not, not everybody's gonna sit there and look at their phone while, uh, while they're, uh, you know, listening to a podcast. Cuz the whole idea of listening to an audio podcast is you can do other stuff while you do it. But if you just happen to be there, if you're on car play and listening to a podcast and they mention something, you can look over and see the, the, the new picture in the chapters. Uh,
it also allows you to skip ahead to that section. So, like today, I was listening to a particular show and they had, uh, two different guests on there, and they had the, the chapters set up to where I could just listen to the interview of the guest I wanted to listen to. And, you know, jump right to it. Now, for a podcaster, that's not necessarily a great thing, only because, you know,
I kind of want you to listen to all of it. But, you know, if I, if I do use chapters in the future, it'll be more for, uh, you know, sharing pictures and things like that. That's, uh, that's what I'll tend to, to do with that one. Uh, the location tag, uh, that just gives it a location. There are apps out there, there's maps.fm that, uh,
shows the location on a map of where the podcasts are. And, you know, say you wanna learn something about Traverse City, you would, uh, go to the map in Traverse City and you'd see all the podcasts that were released in Traverse City. Uh, a lot of 'em will be churches, but, uh,
you'll see mine there. And, you know, cause I do talk about Traverse City quite a bit, and that's what it's mainly for, you know, so if you, like, I'm gonna be going to Las Vegas here in March for a conference, and we'll probably do an episode there, uh, for the other podcasts that I do. And I will likely, uh, you know, put that location in there that I was at, uh, you know, particular place in Las Vegas when this was recorded.
And that may be interesting to somebody. I don't know, kind of cool. Uh, I'll skip over these other two cuz they're complicated and I'll come back to them. But then there's the podcast txt tag. And, and I'm gonna call that a tag because that is what it's called. And basically what that's for is it'll allow us to remove the email address from an RSS feed. And those of you that are podcasters
probably know that you'll get all kinds of spam email. You know, there's, uh, people out there that'll scrape all the RSS feeds, grab all the email addresses, and then try to get you to switch to a different service or try to sell you something. Um, it's, you know, slightly annoying.
And the text tag allows you to, instead of having your email address in there to verify, you know, you could just, you know, hey, put this code in the text tag, and then if, then, you know, whoever you're trying to verify with can see that you own the feed because you put that code that they told you to put in the tag. So it's, you know, it'll, it'll help maybe cut the spam down. It's not, like I said,
not super, super important to podcast listeners. But, uh, kind of important for podcasters, uh, let's see, the G U I D and I don't know that's an acronym for something, but a good is what it's also called Sometime. And we're assigning goods to podcasts. Uh, and that gooood will stick with that podcast no matter where it moves around to in theory. And it just makes it a little easier to pick up duplicate duplications and stuff.
So directories can decide whether that's the same podcast or a different one by the G I d the Person tag. Person tag, okay? The credits feature is what we call it at Blueberry, but it's, uh, it's based on the A tag in rss, and you can give credits. Uh, so like you'll see if you're on Podcast Index and looking at my show here, you'll see that, uh, I'm credited as the producer and the host and the chief bottle washer and whatever else. And if I have a guest on here,
I can credit the guest inside the episode. So, uh, and, and on apps at that shows, it kind of gives you credits. Uh, so it's kind of cool that way. Okay, so the two that I skipped over, the, the one is the live item tag, and that's also what it's called or lit. And basically that is a little thing that, uh, pings the apps that support it. Uh, currently, I believe it's Castomatic Pod verse and Podcast Addict, which is a, a very popular Android app.
And it will ping that app and say, Hey, you know, so-and-so's going live, and you can go right in your podcast app and, and start playing it live, which is just something that we've never had before in, in podcasting. Uh, you know, a lot of times people that do live shows will, you know, put it on social that they're going live and, and all that, but they won't. Um, you know, they, they, they leave have to leave the app to do that. And this, uh,
allows you to listen at this point. Now, there may be in the future some video component to it if, uh, if the podcaster chooses to do that. Uh, but you could just listen live like I'm doing right now. I'm doing a live stream in case you're listening to this later, it was, uh, it started at, uh, six o'clock Eastern Time on a, on Friday. And, and I'm gonna try to do these, uh, maybe once a week or once every other week. I don't know, something like that.
And, uh, so be sure to go download, uh, pod verse or Cast Amatic or Podcast Addict if you're on an Android, and you'll get a notification when I'm going live and you can join in. And then the last one was the, uh, value or value for value. It's, uh, it's, the tag is called Value. And basically that's where you can stream crypto, uh, you know, Satoshis, which is a, uh, I think it's a, I I always forget what it is. It's a very small, small, small part of,
of Bitcoin. And don't worry, it's not a Bitcoin investment thing. And you don't, don't need to be creeped out about crypto. It's basically a way to transfer value. Uh, you can, you know, fund your wallet with, with Real money or well, Fiat Fund coupons as Adam calls 'em . And then you can, uh, and then, you know, later on if your wallet gets really full, uh, you can, uh, you know, convert that back to, uh, to dollars or pounds or, or Euros or what, whatever money you you play in and, you know,
but it's a great way to interact. Uh, you know, you get Boosto grams, which are little text messages that people sort of have to pay for, but, you know, send a thousand stats that might be 30 cents, 50 cents, something like that. It's not, you know, it's not huge. Or you can get giant boosts, uh, you know, a few times, uh, I've, I've gotten some boosts on another show that, uh, that,
that were significant. And it always makes your day, you know, a lot of podcasters, it's a pretty lonely business sometimes, you know, you don't get any feedback. You, you know, you know, you've got listeners cuz you look at your stats, but you don't get any feedback, you know, and I always ask for emails or hit me on social or whatever and, you know, a very small percentage of you guys, uh, do that. Well,
this seems to engage the audience a little more. I think, you know, just a lot of the shows I listen to now that are value for value enabled, uh, definitely, you know, there, there's a lot more interaction and it gets exciting, you know, uh, podcasting, I've been doing this a long time and podcasting, when Apple got into it and put podcasts in iTunes, that sort of stopped the innovation, you know, uh, podcasting when I've got into it was,
was new and you had to be kind of a geek to do it and had to be kind of a geek to listen to them and, and all that. And this feels a lot like that. Uh, uh, you know, I, I'm excited that, you know, everything's kind of seeming new with this podcast 2.0 initiative. Now, your old legacy apps will continue to work, uh, and eventually some of them, and maybe hopefully all of them eventually, will adopt some of these features. You don't, and they,
and they don't have to adopt all of them. You know, you'll see over at podcast new podcast apps.com, you'll see that, you know, different things are implementing different parts of the, of the, uh, feature set that, you know, will become more and more popular. So, you know, it's, it's a 3% thing right now, or 2%, I don't know. It's like some, somewhere around 11,000 shows right now. Out of the 4 million are are Value for Value enabled.
And there's, you know, quite a bunch more that are more, you know, that have at least one of the tags in there. One of the features, uh, so you know, it, it's getting adoption. It's, you know, it's a slow slog. It's just like podcasting in general. Uh, you know, back when I started, there might have been a hundred podcasts and pretty much everybody knew everybody and everybody listened to everybody .
So it was a whole different world back there. And, and now it seems that it's kind of that same way, uh, with Podcasting 2.0, all the two, 2.0. People are listening to each other's podcasts and, and it's a great way to discover things that you wouldn't normally run across. So I, I urge you to go over to, you know, pod verse and, and download that app if you're on an app. Well, I guess it works on Android as well. And, uh, and Linux and Mac and maybe pc. I don't know.
I don't have one, but you know, it's a pod verse is a, is one of the, one of the new modern apps. Now, is it as polished as say Apple Podcasts or Overcast or something like that? No, not yet. It's getting there and they're doing a hell of a job. And the beauty of it is the app developers are involved with this project. Part of the reason is they get a little cut when you send a boost through pod
verse, pod verse gets a little cut. And since, you know, we at Blueberry did all this dev work to make that work, we get a little cut and, you know, it's, but it's, it's all inconsequential as far as, you know. It's not a huge amount of money unless you wanna send a hu huge amount of money. You know, anything is good. And it also allows podcasters to not worry about monetizing with ads. I mean, it's, you know, ads are annoying sometimes. Uh, I know, you know,
I like podcasts that don't have ads. I like pod some podcasts that do have ads. There's, you know, nothing inherently wrong with ads, but there's another thing to it. It's free speech, you know, keeping podcasting free and open. You know, using an R RSS as the standard is one of the goals of podcasting 2.0. I think it's the first goal is it's to make RSS a little more usable and a little more feature rich than it used to be.
And, you know, since, like I said, since Apple got into it in 2005, the innovation sort of stopped. There really wasn't a lot of innovation. Now, some innovations just happened because they happen, you know, now everybody's carrying their pocket computer around, you know, their iPhone, their Android, their whatever else, uh, might be out there. And that's where people consume podcasts.
It used to be that they'd consume it by downloading it in the middle of the night on a slow, slow connection and then syncing it with their device, you know, their iPod or their other MP3 player. And now it's more ins, you know, with the phones. They're always connected and it's more instant, you know, hence this live thing, you know, we were never able to do live, uh,
back when podcasting started, and now we are. And you know, I, I'm not huge into live, but it's cool, you know, it's cool to play with. Gotta get a drink here. I definitely, uh, been talking too much today, , but that's all right. And I had a pile of voicemails I had to clear up, uh, when I got off the, the mic earlier, so it's been nonstop. So that's the,
the gist of the podcasting 2.0 stuff. Uh, you know, I won't, uh, continue to go on and on and on about it, uh, on this show, uh, you will hear me going on and on and on about it, on the podcast 2.0 show episode one 20. Uh, although I didn't talk nearly as much as the other guys, but, uh, it was still a, a really good time. And
let's see what else? Oh, and, uh, podcast Insider, we're, we're shifting that around a little bit, uh, in format, uh, you know, we used to cover a lot of podcasting news and we'll pro we'll do it one more time that way, but, uh, we're gonna rebrand it a little. And, uh, it'll still be every Thursday, and it'll still be Todd, me or Mackenzie or any combination thereof, or all three of us sometimes.
But we're going to go to a single topic episode format and make it a little more evergreen so that the people can go back, you know, years later and listen to it. And most of it may be relevant instead of, you know, who bought who, and, you know, who's the number one podcaster on Spotify and all the other silly stories that we were covering. There's enough people covering that stuff.
And so we switched it up to be a single, uh, single or two topic episode, you know, because we may have some pre-recorded segments of other people chiming in on a particular subject, and we'll probably have guests once in a while and, and that kind of thing. But, uh, I, I, I think it's gonna make for a little more compelling show in something that'll last a little longer than, uh, just covering the news and,
and that kind of stuff. And then we'll also be able to break in and do, uh, you know, Todd Nile, we'll, we'll jump in there and do a bonus episodes every now and again, you know, to cover some subject that's a hot topic of the day or, or whatever. But, uh, those won't, uh, those won't count in our, uh, our normal episode schedule. And, uh, so we'll put the bonus episode to use. So, uh,
anyway, enough about podcasting and all that. Well, I guess I got one more little thing about podcasting that I'll tell you about towards the end here. Let's see. I don't have any way of knowing if anybody's listening live, but, uh, I'm sure somebody might be. If you are and you're listening on a podcast 2.0 app, shoot me a boosto gram, I'll get it here. It'll make a funny noise, and I'll be able to, uh, to tell that, uh, you're listening. So that's kind of cool.
All right, so the next thing is, I'm making a little bit of a change here, and I don't wanna make a big deal out of it here, but I am going on a extremely low, low-carb diet. Um, some people call it keto. There's different levels of low-carb diets. I know, boy, I really changed subjects here, didn't I? This will be a great spot for a chapter. But anyway, , I was talking, you know, I, I, I was, I've been watching a lot of, of YouTubes about this thing called carnivore,
carnivore diet. Uh, what's her name? Mikayla Pearson, uh, or Peterson, Mikayla Peterson. She, uh, is Jordan Peterson's daughter. And she, she goes one step further. She's on a very strict, what she calls a lion diet, where literally she eats beef, butter, salt and water, and maybe not even butter. I think it's just beef, salt and water. And she's been doing that for a couple of years now, and it's completely cured her autoimmune disease that was eating
upper joints. Uh, she had a hip replacement when she was 17 years old, and she's had an ankle replaced, and, you know, she was allergic to everything. And, uh, you know, just everything set her off. And now that she's on this diet, she's perfectly healthy and, and, you know, it all works for her. Uh, and also it helped with the mental health from what I've been reading.
And like I said, I'm trying it myself, uh, not the lion diet, but, uh, a low, low carb carnivore diet is what I'm calling, what I'm doing, and what it's done for people is, you know, you lose weight. And, and from what I've been reading, that the human body is meant to burn fat as fuel. And only since the advent of farming and agriculture have we been eating any grains or,
or very many vegetables and fruits and whatnot. Yeah, you know, the cavemen probably walked around and picked blueberries and whatever other kind of berries that were there, and, you know, maybe ate a little bit of that for, you know, as far as plants. But for the most part, they ate meat and drank water. And as far as I know, they were healthy. So, you know, all the research says that that's what the human body is meant to do, is to,
to burn fat. So he fat and protein, um, you know, it, it just, it's just what we're meant to do. And my problem was, you know, or is I, I, I'm a type two diabetic, and every time I go to the doctor, you know, get blood work done, and he said, oh, your A1C is up to such and such. And, and I go into greater detail in, in another venue here. But, uh, and I'll tell you about that at the end, but, uh, you know, it was getting pretty bad. Uh, every time I'd go in there,
you'd want to put me on another drug and another drug and another drug. And, you know, the drug companies are getting rich, the doctor's getting rich, and I'm, you know, fat tired and, and not doing so well. So I, I think I'm, you know, I, I'm hoping this does what it, for me, what it does for, you know, other people I've been watching on YouTube, one of the big ones is Dr. Ken Berry. Uh, uh, he's a big proponent of, of the carnivore diet, and there's a whole bunch of 'em.
You get on YouTube and you can spend hours and hours and hours. And you know, what it does basically is once your body gets fat adapted, they call it, uh, you'll start burning your own fat. And, you know, and you'll be able to use that as energy. The brain will run on glucose, sugar, and, you know, it's, it's perfectly happy doing that for the most part. But what it really likes is ketones.
And once you've exhausted all the sugar in your blood, now your body makes some glucose from other things like protein, whatever. And, and when you need some, it, it'll make it, you know, same thing with, uh, a lot of the vitamins and minerals that, uh, we need, you know, you still need some minerals. Uh, hence the salt. Salt got a bad wrap. Fat got a bad wrap, was, uh, watching a documentary about it.
And there was this doctor, and I can't remember what his name was that came up with the food pyramid, and, you know, you should eat 50% carbs and, and 25% vegetables and, and fiber and, uh, only, you know, 15% protein and no fat, or very low fat. And he was a proponent of that diet. They did a, uh, study in, in the state of Minnesota, in, uh, mental institutions, uh, back in the day, uh, where they could control what everybody ate.
And so they had two different institutions. One was on a low fat, high carb diet, and the other one was on the, uh, ketogenic type diet where they were high fat and low carb and low, you know, everything else. And the study didn't come out the way they wanted it. So they never published it. It got published years later. But the, the doc that was, uh, pushing this low fat diet couldn't believe the data and didn't want it
out there because he was a proponent for the other thing. And, you know, if you listen to the, uh, diabetes association, uh, a E D A, yeah, American Diabetes Association, if you do what they tell you, all you're gonna do is make the drug companies rich and, uh, and die early. So I ha I hope I can prove this, uh, cuz I'm gonna, I'm gonna try it myself, or I'm in the process of trying it myself. Uh, I know it's a little extreme, and, you know, people get to, oh, you need carbs,
you need this, you need that. Well, no, you don't. And, uh, that's fine. You can have that opinion, but prove it. So I'm gonna try, I'm see what's going on. I did get a continuous blood glucose monitor and I got it j you know, just before I got on this program,
and it's not really a program. I don't have to pay anybody. I mean, you know, yeah, I gotta buy better cuts of beef or beef anyway, and my blood sugars, uh, after I ate my normal American diet, uh, couple of days there and, uh, you know, my sugar would spike at, uh, 3 75 is the highest I've seen, and normal is, you know, somewhere close to a hundred as you can get. And that's crazy. So, you know, in fact, it was this morning, I, I went the other way, so I had my bulletproof coffee,
and that's a whole other thing, by the way. It's really good. Otherwise known as butter coffee. So if you're used to having creamer in your coffee, try, uh, putting a pad of butter and a little bit of coconut oil in there, and, uh, yeah, your, your life will be changed. It's pretty awesome. But, you know, I did that. And then, uh, today at lunchtime, I, I had two half pound patties of, of beef, you know, burger.
And that's all I've eaten today. I've had water, coffee, and, uh, and my blood sugar sitting right now is at 1 39, and I'm not hungry. That's the other thing. Uh, you know, when you eat fat, you eat until it doesn't taste good anymore. So you're eating, you know, fatty cuts of beef or, or pork or whatever. It satiates you. You're fat. The the fat is what makes your brain say, okay, we're full.
And you know, one of the other docs I watch on YouTube was saying, well, the, the whole idea is once you, once you get used to this, you'll, you'll eat until it doesn't taste any good anymore. And you want to be comfortably stuffed, but then that's gonna last a whole lot longer than bag of Doritos or, uh, you know, whatever. Or, you know, a big old pile of french fries, you know, something like that. One of the other tenets of this is don't use any seed
oils. You know, seed oils like canola oil and corn oil and, and, you know, all those supposedly heart healthy oils, uh, that was used for industrial lubrication up until somebody got the bright idea to cook with it. And I just, you know, it's not good. It's inflammatory. That's the other thing. It's just a lot of inflaming. So, you know,
if you wake up in the morning, you're sore. You know, I'm 57 years old. I, I wake up in the morning and I'm sore, you know, for just from sleeping , you know, I, I don't wanna feel that way. I don't have to feel that way, I hope. And, and, and I'm really, you know, wanting to, to get over that. And I want to get off all these stupid drugs that they've got me on for diabetes, and, you know, I want to have energy and, you know,
sleep better. And, you know, there's just a whole slew of things that if you're eating the, as Dr. Barry says, the proper human diet will get you, you know, in that, in that mode where, you know, you're, you're not dependent on all these drugs. Now, will I get completely off the diabetes drugs? I don't know. I, I hope so.
That's the plan. But again, you know, I, I don't know, uh, I know it's improved today, you know, just, you know, not big evidence, but today, it's much better than, than it was yesterday, uh, as far as blood sugar levels and energy levels. And, uh, you know, I, I feel pretty good, you know, of course what's not, you know, I ate a pound of Burger , so I'll, I'll have another, uh, another, uh, slug of something, uh, you know, uh, here after I'm done recording and, and doing this live thing.
But, you know, I, I, I really think it's worth a try. Now, I'm not going to, uh, make this podcast all about, you know, carnivore diets and, and all that stuff. So to that end, yes, I started another show, . This one is just me talking on the mic about my carnivore health journey, and that's what it's called. So you can find it, uh, wherever you wanna find podcasts. And it's a very personal thing, you know, I, I'm putting it all out there, not hiding anything. So I'll tell you how it goes,
good or bad. Uh, and, you know, I'm not gonna be doing a lot of 'em. I may be doing a lot of 'em, depends, it's kind of therapy cuz I wanna do, I wanna do this show or this, this, uh, blog vo or audio blog or whatever you want to call it, so that I don't drive my friends crazy. I don't drive my coworkers crazy. I don't drive you crazy, uh, talking about it. So it's gonna be, uh, you know, pretty much restricted to that. Uh,
of course my wife is involved. She, uh, she's gonna be the, uh, chief cook and bottle washer helping me, uh, with meal prep and, and all that kind of stuff. But she's on board with me. Uh, she wants me to stick around for some damn reason. I don't know. But , that's good. Uh, yeah, she's downstate then. So I'm batching it this weekend. So that'll even be f more fun cuz I won't be, uh, drinking beer and it won't be, uh, eating crazy, uh,
unless you think carnivores crazy. And you're welcome to that opinion. And please, uh, you know, give me your opinion. What do you think? And, uh, I'll give you my opinion and my experience at doing this. I know it's a little extreme, but, uh, if I didn't do something pretty extreme, you know, I might get some bigger complications than I already have for being diabetic. And, uh, you know, I don't want to, uh, lose a foot or a toe or a leg.
I don't want to go blind. I don't want to, uh, have, you know, some of the other stuff that can happen when, uh, your sugars are continually high. And like I said, if I followed the ADA's guidelines, uh, you know, a few years from now, I probably wouldn't be in good shape. So gotta do something, I might as well do this. So we'll see.
So I think I'm gonna call that one a podcast. And, uh, a good test of the live streaming, although I never saw the, uh, the, uh, notification come up on pod verse like I expected. So I guess we'll, uh, have to take a look and see what happened there. But we're, we're getting somewhere, uh, with all this technology and all that.
So if you wanna check out my carnivore show, uh, carnivore vlog pod, not vlog, but, uh, audio, blog, podcast, whatever, uh, go over to mike dell.com and there's a tab up in the main menu there. You can see all the posts I'm doing about that. And, uh, and the podcast, whatever. And go over to pod verse or Fountain or Podcast Index. You know, go over there and, and, uh, use, use that app, uh, you know, just for a couple of shows just to, just to see how you like it. I think you'll enjoy it.
And even if you're using Android Auto and uh, CarPlay Pod verse works with that. Uh, I just put a CarPlay radio in my truck. Yeah, I always gotta talk about vehicles. But, uh, I put that CarPlay radio in my truck and uh, it's working really good. It's wireless CarPlay, which is even cooler. I don't have to plug in. Uh, I just, uh, jump in the car and, uh, little bit. It's ready to go. And I can play my podcast and use navigation and all that.
I highly recommend it. Uh, I put it in my older truck because I ain't buying a new one . So there it is. Uh, everybody have a good, uh, until next time I guess, uh, you can catch me later.
