080: Home Run Inn

Depends on how much else you're eating. Hello and welcome to episode number 80 of Unrelenting Pop the bottles. Man eight zero. That's funny. Yeah, 80. If you can make it that far. That's true. So I'm kind of surprised he didn't do some check. Why did you change while you went to the apple? Huh? Oh, no, I'm going to. It's a7b. Oh, you're fake S, I'm 70. That's right. Yes, my fake S 70. That sounds just like the real one is. I've got you. Let's see. Let me turn off the. I have the e cuing on that.

I have set up for your old mike. So let me turn that off. Well, not only that, but this. Mike, I'm not getting into the yellow yellows like I was on the other one, so it's a little quieter. You're a little quieter. We got to get a lot better with about the same distance between them, the mike and my mouth. So what we do know that the really awesome seven B's take a lot to drive. Hmm. So you need a cloud lift or something. And I agree with you. They should come with them.

These sure people, they should start making their own. Or they should make a deal with this price point. They should. Yes. And they're not all created equally. I've tested some of those little boosters that have a lot of self noise to them. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's been very quiet. I've tested it. The tested the noise levels. And it is very quiet. It does sound less bottom.

And so you're right when you say when I switch from the what I'm using now, the RC 22, the SM seven B, some of the low end goes away. Right. Right. It's not a bad sounding Mike. Does it feel like a real what, a bad sonic? Yeah, it's. It's heavier. Shit, dude. I'm telling you, this is I think it is a real honestly and I don't know if it's a real one that has a serial number or not, but it's definitely a real mike. But yeah, you can see it. It's there now. That's not what I mean.

I mean, this is like back in the old camera days, back when film was what cameras ran on, you could buy the exact same cannon cameras, same like cameras, but for hundreds of dollars less because they weren't targeted for the United States and they were meant to be sold in Asian countries. And they're still made in the same factories. But they they have a much lower price point.

Much like drugs, as I have come to realize, more and more have a very different price point, whether they're meant to be sold in the United States or Mexico. Yeah, it's a scam. It is a total scam. There's a new drug that I'm testing right now. Oh, I have a prescription. Okay. Yes, Not that kind of testing, but the the insurance companies like. Yeah, we don't think we really need to pay for this. This is not you don't need this.

Right. And so if if the insurance company pays for it, it's it comes out $250 a month. If the insurance company doesn't pay for it, it's 1200 dollars a month. If I buy it in Mexico, it's $200 a month. Damn. And with no insurance, you're guaranteed that's the same quality drug. Yeah. They're all made in India. Now, that would make sense.

Yeah. So the fact that you can literally cross the border and spend 80% less on medicine, if that's not a big red flag, that we have a problem with the medical system of this country. I don't know what is, but I'm using that as just an example of there are a lot of things that have different prices depending on where they're targeted to be sold. And my suspicion with this microphone is that the exact same thing. This isn't some seven B those targeted to be sold in Asia.

And one thing we know when it comes to the drugs, if any, if you still watch television, all the ads are drug ads. So where do you think the money's going? Right, exactly. And I think I've got you dialed in here With you. Yeah, with the IQ. Yeah, well, don't get too used to it. I may switch back to the old me. You know, we went. We turn all the cueing off. We can. They'll give me a test giving you a test, and then we turn it. All right, back on. All right. And now the test is done.

You have to. Beautiful. I mean, I'm not. I'm not giving you any of the compression or anything. Just a nice little cueing. Well, in this Mike, I think those are from what I've noticed. Anyway, it does have a little bit brighter sound than 3320 and it shouldn't if it's a real sub seven B Well, I mean it's a good sum. I'm not saying it's a it, it definitely sounds to me like the, the 320 is a little bit less break, which is the exact opposite of any review I've ever heard.

AM exactly the opposite of my own personal experience, which is the 320 is a very bright mike. Would you say 320 is a great mike when you see it? Mm. No. Okay, okay. Let me phrase it this way. I think the 320 versus the 320, the 320 is definitely a brighter mike. Gotcha. Okay. I'm saying in the absolute. But I do think from what I've played back, recording myself on this Mike, that maybe, you know what, maybe it is just less low end, Maybe that's what it is.

It could be less low end, but it's it just feels like this Mike is a little bit more crisp, a little more net nets and a little too bright. And they said, Oh, maybe not. I only had one earbud in, but in the interim I lowered the brightness. So I'm totally screwing with people listening now. Oh, you did? Oh, okay. Well, yeah. So whatever you guys hear is not what the mike that was like right down through there in filter.

This is now e queued where I have a slight boost at the high end in the air frequencies. I have a little dip in the high mids and I have a little dim in the low end, which is usually right about what you you see all of these for voice overs when you go, this is the average clean up of a microphone. And this is the first time I've used the visual thing in a Really? Yeah, because I normally just fiddle in with the knobs in um, in the MOTU. But this you can pull up. Yeah.

Oh that says you sound like Jen brining out so it's perfect. Dialed in me. Yeah. Jen Bryony from the that podcast the diva track like that. Yeah. Yeah. I yeah I don't think I sound like that but no it was a joke. It's humor. Don't you know what the whole format of the show is yet. Humor. But nobody told me there was humor. But you've got that microphone for what, 150 bucks. Yeah. Somewhere in there from there. I may have to order one. I'm curious. Now, just do this.

To test that back to back I want to do and this is by Andrew if you're out there, buddy. Mm hmm. Order one of $150 cheap Chinese knockoff SM seven BS and do a side by side test and see if they are all one. Or maybe because it has a look like it had the right box and it looked like it. No. Yeah. This thing is there is nothing at all that would make it even came with a U.S. warranty.

There's nothing at all that makes you think that this thing is off, which is the beauty of it, because that is a good knockoff would be the one that you're like, I looks real. It's I'll tell you what, you can get a good Rolex knockoff for about $3,000. Yeah. Which is way cheaper than a real Rolex. Which is way cheaper than the real Rolex, but way more than most people want to spend. It was not the press. I'm totally okay with it. It was off of the new egg, which has a lot of third party sellers.

Yeah. And this came out of China, right? This was delivered out of China. No, it was delivered out of California. Bought to California. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. And it said it was made in Mexico, bought it in Mexico, came out of California, sold from Hong Kong. The stock Hong Kong seller shipped out of California, made in Mexico. There's somebody trying to cover some tracks like a Biden crime family. Uh huh, yeah. If if it had a Ukraine stamp on it, I they're getting suspicious. Yes.

Well, that's what I mean. I part of your dollars obviously went to the Ukraine, though. I mean, if the company is being respectful of the world around it. Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. It sounds really good compared to what I would have guessed, although otherwise you would get a return because I'm assuming you could still return this if it was. Yeah. Yeah. I get full refunds. Yeah. L garbage. L So should I get more? I mean, it sounds pretty decent. I would right now.

I really want to hear it next to side by side with an actual. Yeah. Like a fully priced version. Yeah. Yes, yes. A lot of times that's what I never bought one of those. So I can't do a comparison because I like to me that was way overpriced for that Mike especially considering the other poor thing know it, it seemed like it was a ridiculous amount of money right about the time you're said and done with a cloud lifter, you're at like 600 bucks now. Yeah, Yeah, exactly.

And it it's just, you know, so I got the, the 20 and then when I tried the 320, I'm like perfect. 320 is exactly what I like. C Brooklyn says to nasally that's just jeans voice. There's not, not much we can do except try to keep bowling. I think you're just messing with the, the settings there just make me sound worse. That's I always expected that and this kind of proves

it now, see, But I'm pulling them down in the areas that should be nasally. But we're just trying to make it sound point to K as best as we can. Yeah, right at about two k. Yeah, yeah. But like I said, sounds way better than I would have guessed for a 150. You know, if you were to take the branding off of it and just say it was 150, I would say that's a pretty damn good Mike 450 bucks. Yeah. For a generic mike that would be like, Hey, it sounds like it should.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, they, they're celebrating the 80th anniversary of this Mike 50th of the Yeah. Of the seven B Okay. I thought it was the Yeah. No you're right. Yeah. That's why I was really like, wow, back through gold s Mike man. Yeah, he got a 50th anniversary edition. I was like, Oh, that's Mike Envy. Mm. They're not even selling them. It's just, boom. They sent it to him because he's the mike guy.

Yeah. So that's the one benefit, even though he's amazing how few subscribers you need to be the Mike guy, he has enough for that niche or need. It's not a very big number, man. I was watching, I watched a bunch of his videos last week, partly because I was hoping he would have bought one of these and see if I could find the review. Like, did you buy one of the night knock offs? Should it be out made out of Mexico? I don't get it. Were these hot? I mean, also, it's possible they were all stolen.

It could be it like they could just be stolen mates that are resold through Hong Kong just to keep the US police out of it, which would not be hard to believe. Yeah, although if you're selling it out of California, they're not going to arrest you for doing anything in California. These? No. Well, I mean, again, you know, made in Mexico, sold in Hong Kong, shipped out to California, you pretty much do get away with anything in any of those countries you like.

Wink, wink, nudge nudge. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Nothing to see here. I did get my money back from PayPal, so I was happy about that. For what? For the $75 autographed item I bought from somebody on Facebook that never arrived. Oh, okay. Well, that's good. And it took PayPal a long time. I will say a little professional hint here because it kept getting pushed back. At first it was like, you know, the expected resolution and date was this.

And then the next week it was pushed back a week, and the next week it was pushed back a week. So I finally sent a message to their customer service on X or Twitter. Even though they don't post anything on there, obviously they still have somebody monitoring that and they're like, Of course we'll look into that. And then all of almost immediately the credit was there.

I this is funny because this is literally like the most useful part of Twitter, which they still haven't fully converted because a lot of stuff still says Twitter, but it's like it says, oh, such and such person, like your tweet is get in there. That was always something that was the most useful part, which is you're at the airport, your plane, it's bumped your post. The nasty thing to the airline on Twitter publicly. Oh, look at that. There's a personal agent taking care of rebooking you

and giving you a free upgrade. Look at that. Will get you a credit right here. We'll take Korea. It's it's always better when it's done in public. Well, yes, because then they want to respond in public like no, no, because they want to they want to look good. It's like, no, no, no, it's all good. We'll take care of you. We take care of our people. Yes, Except for the last three weeks. You've been following me around here, right in my case, I didn't even do it in public.

I just did it the direct message. So I was the surprise that got it. Got it. Media, You didn't even. Oh, they must have thought it was public maybe. Or maybe they maybe. DM They, we had one person that was like, Oh, we care about what's going on here. Oh, come on, there has to be one. Oh, come on, come on. But I still think it's funny. The person that I bought the item from. Yeah. Wouldn't respond to me. And it's like, Do you think that's a good sign? Well, here's the thing.

I just think it's an idiot. Female millennial. Sorry for all the idiot female millennials out there, but I am an overall reasonable person. That is the crowd that listens to your music. That's true. That is true. That I would have probably taken less than 100% for just a quick refund because I do believe that the item was sent out. There was a tracking number that came as close to my town as you can get and then got lost. Uh huh.

You know, but when people then when I opened that up with PayPal, which, which shipping method, it was media mail, of course, which never said anything. USPS Media mail. Yes. That's literally like the most unguaranteed method you can do. Yes. So you're taking a you're taking a dice roll at the very best. The thing right before this that I had shipped media mail was a bunch of records from my buddy here in the northern suburbs who owns a record store.

So literally going from the northern suburbs to the southern suburbs of Chicago took like pretending you live, in fact. All right, I said suburbs. I didn't say in Chicago and the suburbs of Chicago. Yeah, it took over two weeks to get the Fred Media mail for that distance. So, uh, but the girl, woman, whatever she is, I don't know how old. When people opened up the case, she responded with the tracking number and I'm like, You can see the tracking number says it was not delivered.

What do you think PayPal is going to do if your whole case is Well, here's my tracking number and the tracking number doesn't show as being delivered, you're going to lose. Yeah, that's a good question. So and with me, the email, there is no insurance. It's not like she can get that money back from somewhere else. So the people just took that money out of her account. Yeah, the PayPal took it. I believe the package went out, but it got lost. And when I sent her the link that was even nice.

I sent the link directly to the USPS page to do a mail search because I'm guessing if it wasn't stolen, which it's possible it was, but if it wasn't stolen, they knew the last place that it was. And if it was something where maybe the tag got ripped, the tag fell off. If you could explain to them what the package looked like now, they might have been able to find it. But again, no response at all. It's like I'm not being a dick. I wasn't like, Hey, you didn't. I'm like, There's a problem.

People will take it back. And again, I'm reasonable. Rather than wait for a month for 100% of my $75, I would have been able to negotiate. And then like, okay, I believe you're honest. I believe you sent it. I know you're going to get screwed on this. So how much would you take? The only I would have probably given, you know, maybe even half, like just send me 40 bucks, I steal it. Although it then comes down to did you offer a better shipping method, which everybody should?

Because if you offer the first class or I don't even know if you can send a lot of stuff first class, it's all priority. Is this thing record? You bought a record that was autographed, the record that had an insert that was autographed. Yes, but All right. Well, but if you would have at least offered and said, hey, well, I can send this U.P.S., I can send it FedEx, I can send it priority mail. But if you want baby on it. And $80. Right.

But if you want a cheap out and go media mail, here's the deal. We make a deal in front. Yep. That if it gets lost, then it's on you because you're deciding to take media mail, something that can't be insured. I don't believe you're correct. I don't think you can. You should be the mail. Now, it wasn't Taylor Swift net net. It was Sabrina Carpenter who is touring with Taylor Swift. So close. Yeah, that's why it was that cheap.

Think of girl band when you think they're right, You know, it's either it's either Frank Sinatra, Ted Nugent, Bruce Springsteen, or a girl band. Yeah, it's my girl band, though. If you look at my listing on what is it, Last.fm. I think Taylor Swift is up towards the top, but so are the Beatles and Sinatra and the Pogues. And I have a wide variety of musical genres that I listen to now. There's like, That's much better. It is. It's there's a wide variety of I was like, I can flip this band.

I saw it selling on eBay for 110 bucks, the same thing. So I'm like, This is a good deal. MM And the best deal is it never shows up. Yeah, exactly. But again, I am still waiting for some night vision goggles to show up from where you order them from. Moscow, China, obviously. Where else were like, you know, I don't know. I don't know where your sources are now. They don't make those in Moscow.

I mean, now that you actually got paid for this show when I was like, wow, there's actual some money there. I was shocked. Shocked. I tell you, you're like, this can buy at least a couple of meals. Exactly. I kind of figured you were, you know, pocketing all the money. Well, I like that. But yeah, now all it's like 80% is from Dale in Australia, so. I know, I know.

That was the weirdest thing I did the accounting, so I sent off a payment to my buddy Larry from Planet Rage to Ryan from Grumpy Old Benz and to you, you know, they. Ryan Yeah, I know. I really should know. And they were all about the in the same amount within 100 bucks. They were all in the same amount. And I'm like, there are so differently accumulated and the, the unrelenting is a very small group of dedicated people, mainly named Dale. It's is a different yes exactly.

A group of people named Dale. A much different way to go. So thank you, Dale. Once again it's and I noticed from winning, I mean, I don't I hope this isn't too inside baseball or top secret knowledge, but I won the No Agenda artwork yesterday. The first one in a long time. And the one I had one before. They didn't accept they this one was a day I actually. So there was no wink, nudge nudge.

No, I have I put a couple of I use where I used a I yesterday those didn't win but the one that I did the old fashioned way of pulling a Duracell package down and just changing Duracell to no agenda which you don't need a for that. Right. That one won. But the last one that I won was right when no agenda started doing the lightning payments with all of this podcasting 2.0. So it's been a while. Yeah. So I'll tell you, I, I get shit from Adam every time I talk to them about

not listening. No agenda. And I do. He just what he has to understand is he's the one that changed the goddamn time of the show that made it impossible for me to listen live. So I don't listen. The day it's broadcast, I'm generally by the Yesterday I drove down to San Antonio. I had several hours of time in the car to listen to that, so I did that. And of course I listened at three X so I can get through several hours worth of podcasts in about half an hour. Well, that's perfect. It's yeah.

Where which, you know, I catch up, but I'm never like whenever I talk to him, he's like, Oh, we talked about that in the show. I guess you still don't listen. I'm like, You. I listen, but not on the goddamn day you do it. I'm probably a week to two, several weeks behind generally. Luckily, I don't use them to get my news, so I don't have to rely on immediate information.

I listen to it because it's like, you know, like coming down to the cigar shop and sitting around and chatting with old friends. Except in this particular case, I'm I'm surprisingly not talking. I'm mostly listening, which is rare. Yeah, but that's, that's why I do it. I it's not like, oh, what are the insights Adam's going to have? I know exactly what kind of insight that I'm going to have.

I just I'm still going to listen to it, but I'm not going to necessarily do it on the day or within the several days. In fact, when I felt I was speaking 100% live until the time change it. Now that I'm watching NASCAR again, back in scene when the show was 2 hours earlier, it was almost always done before the races started on Sunday. Now that it's 2 hours later, it's always just right about the beginning. It was a much more to me in time previously, like a lot of them, Central Time is perfect.

If you live in Central Time. Yes, because it's after the morning stuff that you need to get done that you may need to pay attention to, but it's sort of starts before lunch and then goes on before anything really happens later in the day like that. That slot from 11 to 230 or so generally is easy to be plugged in and ignored the rest of the world. I would agree, at least for me.

And we'll see what this show for Sunday will be, because Adam asked John if he would do the show an hour earlier and just for like an hour. We'll see. Because with all the West Coast people bitching about having to get up there, the ones that chose to live there after all. True. But Adam's going to be over in Europe. So he's like, it's going to be like 8:00 starting time PM for me. So maybe if you couldn't do it an hour early, that would be nice. Uh huh, that would be nice.

But the first day with well, even less than the first day because, you know, they published this yesterday afternoon and have already made like 26 bucks in stats from winning the art where the last time around, I think it was like five or six bucks was the total. So it shows more people are streaming the satoshis and sending the boost via podcasting 2.0 to support the show, which is really cool and well yeah, for people like you can get them here.

Yeah. For them it for them, for them people for them folks that can do what they do. And it's getting easier and easier to get into that. So that's cool. But there's a lot of people still that you, you talk about it and what they would you have to do it in order to send the satoshis and you still get that kind of glazed reaction of what, you know, somebody really should make an app, a podcast app that up you skates the Satoshi like the user interface portion, it just all be done in dollar.

Oh I agree. But in the back end it sends stock sheets. So it's like, Oh, would you like Tinder? You know, if they do that at all or not. But I don't think any of them do that. I think all of them ask you for the number of satoshis. But but here's what I think. I think if you did it in dollars, maybe euros for, you know, folks in that part of the world, we don't have any money to send these days. But for people that still have money and if you yeah, the conversion is almost 1 to 1 at this point.

But if you just do it in dollars and you say, what would you like to send like $0.50 per minute or a quarter minute people would be like a quarter a minute. That's that sounds about right. That's fine. Right. That's a reasonable rate. What does that come out to like a lot? No, not really. It's it comes out to $15 an hour. So $15 an hour. That's reasonable. It depends how much you make. But then you turn that into Satoshis and that's like 8 million satoshis per hour. Right.

And nobody in their right mind would ever send you that much. Is this a problem with that? I have with Satoshis from somebody who has studied game theory most of their lives and who has both played video games and written games, But the idea of doing micropayments is meant to get people to increase, not decrease, the amount of spending. And what satoshi's it's a definite decrease in the amount of spending because people think, well, shit, I just sent like 5000 of them set things.

That's a pretty generous hefty donation. I just made. Yeah, $0.11. Congratulations. Yeah, it sounds a lot more impressive than Satoshi's, but I mean, the way modern people and all you have to do is have it do a query on what the current bitcoin trading rate is. Yeah. And you can show like here, show it in U.S. dollars by but you can't like there's literally not even a small enough dollar denomination It's in pennies. Right. But you can say here's what I would have done.

I'm not saying that somebody should have come and talk to me. Well, they should have a number. But I'm just saying, if I would have been asked about this being an expert in business things and all, and you're a totally legitimate business man. I'm a legitimate business man. Exactly. Is it should have been k satoshis from the get go, like your minimum denominations should have been 1000 Satoshi.

You would have been because it would have been k Satoshis it would have been different from what everybody else is doing. And instead of trying to teach people about bitcoin, satoshi's you have this currency that is directly tradable with U.S. dollars, but people think it was case, it's Yoshi's, and then your donations would have been like, Well, I'm going to send like five or ten K or 1000. Satoshis is $0.29, so maybe 100 Satoshis was perfect because that's like $0.03.

Nobody ever, you know, pennies. No, $0.03 is bullshit, dude. It's literally bullshit. $0.03 is the that that's the rake. Okay. It's too small a number. So when you when you start doing it in that. Okay, let me, let me put an asterisk on that and say at the current price of bitcoin. Right. Three or 100 satoshis is bullshit. Okay. If bitcoin kept going up back when I was 50 60,000 and it'd be 100,000 right now, you would have a much better argument. I mean, it certainly no coincidence.

I don't think that 33 satoshis currently is worth one penny. It's the magic number. It's a penny. Mm. So you send in 33 satoshis. It's a penny. Yeah. So 3300 Satoshis. There's a buck. Yeah. Yeah. 33. 33 is $0.98. Mm. You do 33,003. 33. That's 979. That's almost ten bucks. That's pretty good. 33. 33. Yeah. Yeah. So it's a well no. How much is it. It's, it's $0.10 it. Well 33 is about a penny. 33,333 which is not a multiple of 33. 33,000. Okay. So you said 3310. So I'm like no it's not.

That's a buck. Yeah, but so if you want to spend a buck 33, 33 is $0.98. So that's right about a buck. Yeah. But I think you're absolutely right. A lot of people see it should have been yeah, it should have been thousand when you're going to do a boost. I mean, I get confused with that all the time and I kind of follow this stuff when I'm like, well, how much do I want to boost? I go and I pull up.

There's, you know, Coinbase, Kraken, they all have a site you can go to and just put in how much money you had. Just look at my stream deck and it tells me, Well, you can't just be like, Well, okay, I want to do $7.34. What do I send in a Satoshi, you know, for that you need something that can do that math instantaneously for you. But otherwise it's like, wow, I'm sending 33,000 or 3333. It's like, that seems like a lot. Not even a buck. Not even the. But Exactly. Exactly.

And that's why the concept is great. I love the concept. I always been a big supporter of the concept. The the it's just like it's missing the marketing portion. See Brooklyn 112 boosted us 999 said saying screw the case That's what she's true.

The case is that the jury we only get 10% of your message so all we get with screw believe she has every so there's we have a new a new marketing strategy If you want booster grams to be read one word per every 3333 SATs is what now you getting a little little greedy? I know is a fucking word. Yeah, but the word baby people like it. Sentences is probably good now. Oh, come on. See us? We could write a sentence. That's 8000 words long. Yeah, well, that's true.

The other thing is what CSB be usually sent because you track all his some donations to this show. I believe it's 8015 usually is that there somebody that four basically. 33 okay. Okay. But let's let's get real so he sends 8015 you get 4000 of that and then he gets his other 4000 back is mine. His year never goes mine, never accepts. So realistically, he's really just paying half. It's genius. It's great. Yeah. Hey, where's my kickback, man? That. Hey, it's not my fault.

It goes into the ether and goes back to him. I don't. I know, I know. That's why I'm telling him. I'm like CSB. I want my kickback for not accepting your money. Now, here's the intriguing thing. When it comes to the lightning stuff, it seems like they know nearly instantaneously when one of them fails, there could be a fail over. And I don't know how this would even work, but for something like our show, I think is just there's no retry to throw. Try that.

But if there's a 5050 split and one of the addresses fails, there should be a way to go. Well, okay, we'll just send it to the other address that's involved because. Yeah, man, and I'm not so much in favor of that. Well, I like that idea. When you're constantly saying you like that idea, you just want to, because then the person feels like, Well, I sent that, so they got it. And you're like, Well, I got it. That's mine. And they millennials, I like this guy. The No Agenda millennial.

He does the most show on the No Agenda stream. He listened very carefully. He sent in the 6666 Satoshis, which gives him two words, and his two words are fuck off, nice and wait. So he sent that or you got that? He Well, it came through. So yeah, 66, $66. Got 66, 66 and he would have sent double that amount. Oh you mean I don't know if you got it or not. I know what I got. I'm, I guarantee you I didn't got it.

So that's bonus bargain basement right now you get half off your words on the booster grams here on unrelenting because jeans because I just give you one with an actual paid server in Amazon data centers that has this shit running. Yeah. Bembry That's the one that never receives a cobbled together piece of shit old Linux system sitting in there's water. Yeah. And he got some I got 3267 just came through. That's what came through to me. 3267 Wow. So it is working. But was that the number?

Well it was 6666. So that would be about what your cut would be on It. Well, I thought you said you got 4000 now. 66. 66. Come on, Jean. So drink that to get that caffeine going. Yeah, that's fine. Okay. So. So you aren't failing right now. It's working. That one I got. Good, good, good. Perfect. My server's running. It's. It's been flawless, except for people that can't send to it from Poland. Well, that's just because they have perma banned you.

Probably nobody wants to fund virtual spaceship collection. And I love somebody like spending $0.10 per minute here for, like, 4 hours. Who the hell was listening to our podcast for 4 hours? I'm trying to do the math. That means it was either two episodes of They're listening at point five speed. Oh, yeah, probably two episodes. And then five speeds, I'm going to ban them. 17.5 Steve And that's the interesting thing.

I need such, I mean, I the reality is I should probably get like ten different get Alby accounts. Yeah, because all of this stuff coming in now for the no agenda show a lot of one Satoshi things coming in. Yeah and nobody has a very good there's few contracts is kind of good there's a few different services that will look at a bunch of alibis. They're free right? I think so but I don't know they're free until you take your money out. And then they take what other? No, they don't take out.

Do not lie about the LBE people. And I don't know where they're even taking a percentage. I've never been able to figure it all out in Hong Kong. Albee's not out of Hong Kong. They're German. I think they were on the German podcasting 2.0. But I've got to clear now, I just like to go through and buy gift cards. I know what I mean. I can. I can set up an account for us for this show and then I'll keep my other one. And then whatever comes in this show, then I'll give you half of that.

Well, I'm getting mine just fine. It's you that's having a problem this week. In fact, I'm turning my SATs over to you. You're the one that never can get them working, right? Mm hmm. It's the beauty of just lightning funds going around and around and around and around. But it's an awesome idea for the instant interaction. I mean, where else can you tell the host of a show to fuck off instantaneously for only a dollar a word? Yeah. Most shows you could do it for free, right? This is even better.

This is a better way to go. Actually, technically speaking, I think Twitch beat us to this long time ago. Yeah, but they actually make. They do have me check. They have checks. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. No, there is. There is some hotness there, but most of the hotness has gone off of witch and onto Onlyfans. Well, yeah. And are they even real at this point? Are they being enhanced by some kind of the hot ones or fake. Yes. Yeah. Good point. The hot ones are fake. The the other ones are real.

There's and I always really liked the, the animated ones. There's been a couple of them that have been good. I mean not all the animated ones. I mean I do it for my women to be animated rather than know you're a sick puppy. You know the sick puppy. You're the one that said it. I like my women to be animated when I put the spread their oil and their skins was at a CSB. That was a Darren O'Neal impersonation right there. That was a dare. So you're doing me doing CSB.

That sounded dirtier than I meant to do that. It was a Russian apologist. Stop talking crazy. Oh, you're crazy, man. So the the there's there's a couple of very talented animator folks. One's a Czech, one's a dude, but they both do female characters. But these are like people that are dedicated, like wearing a motion capture suit, which means you're literally in like a neoprene suit for that thing, right? To get the ultimate draw, your fingers are all hooked up to sensors.

There's a a a poster dangling off your head with a camera aimed at your face to do the full facial animation. And and these are both people that have done the the effectively programing. I mean it's it's it's not like text based programing, but it's essentially the stuff you would do for video games to animate characters using motion capture and using triggers. Well then Adobe has software. I mean, that's not as advanced because you don't have all the sensors, but same kind of video.

But it's like there's the person that just gets a camera and then uses software like the there'll be one to do a quick and dirty little thing. And then there's people that have literally, you know, these suits cost $8,000. I believe that they are, because they're they're they're basically like a thin you print pipe suit with a wire mesh going throughout the whole thing.

And sensors about every inch or so that is measuring the distances as you're moving between the sensors so that you can then relay that to the software. And I think both of them are using Unreal Engine for the actual animated character, but very impressive. Plus on top of it, on top of knowing all the tech stuff and wearing the gear, you have to have like a comedic personality.

Like you actually have to be able to act as a character that the character you're portraying on the screen in real time with people, right? The personality is not A.I., the personality is not. And it's sometimes is not really the same personality as the person would have if they're not acting. But it has to be a very compelling personality. So this is hard work. I don't I don't just think of it as like, oh, this kind of neat.

This is like genuine talent and perseverance combined, But yeah, the obvious benefit is you can create a character that is super cute with jiggly boobs and the whole thing and it'll never age. It will, you know, it's like they're forever, right? Like The Simpsons. Just like The Simpsons, except for the Jiggly Boobs part, right? So I think we're going to start seeing more of that kind of thing, but also not quite as involved with humans.

I think we're going to see a lot more people doing the initial sort of, you know, wearing the body suit to get the characters movement to program them and then having the software before animating them rather than feeding a live signal, which is a lot of work into the software through the animation. Well, it is the next level, I think so. And there's a lot of people that are obviously right now making money, doing the twitch streams and the YouTube streams. Yeah, yeah.

As we've talked about, Amazon is making a ton of money. Well, this allows you to do something like that while protecting your identity, which is even better. Right? Exactly. Because you can create that character that we've talked about that before. It's like I'm surprised that we haven't already gotten to the point to where only fans is a majority, a characters that people have no idea are I? Well, it's that but the only fans is getting more non-sexual stuff going on all the time too.

Like they're actually getting video game players on. They're really like, yeah, they're getting a lot of people. They're cooking shows are going crazy on there because all it is is a platform to monetize, right? What you might question would be the why choose only fans then over something like Patriot they just offer a better deal or I mean maybe I mean patriots not too big a deal I think Patreon keeps 10% I remember right?

I think they may have gone up now, but I know they are but but like twitch keeps have Yes. Oh yeah and YouTube if you do a third third live raid for the live super channel. So yeah, if Onlyfans is less an app then that would make it. Plus I think there might be some benefit to saying Oh, I have a cooking show on onlyfans and more people tune in. Well, the name is not inherently dirty when you hear, Oh, I'm going to my onlyfans dirty ish.

I mean, it's basically the first thing you think of when you think of Onlyfans as a college girl. Well, now, but the name itself, devoid of anything you know about the site. Yeah. Yeah. Only thing sounds better to me than a site called Patriot, because a lot of people are like, What's patriot mean? Yeah, Yeah, exactly. Well, and only fans. I think the original concept for it was to basically compete with Natrium to not be dirty mostly do videos.

It was not originally marketed as a a porn site but I think that they being very libertarian minded did not immediately shut down the porn side it which is now then grew to tremendous numbers to where they're they're top top talent in that arena we're making crazy money like, uh, 30 million a month. Yeah, that's not bad. That's a million bigger than we're making here and unrelenting. In fact, it it is. And it's like we should be making that. But I think so. I mean, we're getting closer.

Net net sent in 66, 66 satoshis and used his two words wisely. He's I mean, if more coffee. Don't you saw coffee? Sure, why not? Let's do it. 30, 30 million SATs is all we ask. That's all. What a month? What is 30 million? Get you for ten bucks of what's called the what's the fees are done and you convert that to U.S. currency. Yeah, Yeah. It's a lot. But, uh, so one one Bitcoin, which is $29,375, is 10 million satoshis. Yes. So 30 million satoshis would be 8000 $850,000. $8,806.15, correct.

Well there you go. Perfect. Which, yeah, we'd be very happy with that on a monthly basis. Yeah. I mean, that would almost be enough to pay Darren's rent and my food bill price, which oddly right about the same. I think mine might be spending more on food. Well, I don't think that's a surprise. You're like, oh, I can only have the best sushi flown in direct from Japan. Yeah, And you don't know. I know. I don't. I don't have a sushi guy that flies you.

Actually, you need two sushi guys that are constantly in motion bringing you fresh sushi from Japan. They put it into a little ice cooler. They jump on the plane, they fly over, they just go to your house and go back to get more. Yeah, I. I mean, you're saying that like, it's funny, but I actually do have a guy chipped in sushi once a day from Japan. See? But does he does he ship it in or does he bring it himself? There's a difference. I it's definitely an airplane flight.

You need the personal sushi guy to bring it. It's the same place where all the sushi restaurants buy theirs. See, Brooklyn says, you know, you could fly to Japan for the sushi. Now, that's inconvenient. No, I didn't. How often? Not very tragic. Not very often these days. Right. I used to do it more frequently. Well, if he had a client sushi. And I'll tell you what, Sushi was a lot cheaper in Japan back when I used to fly there regularly. Has that become more of a an expense there?

Because it was obviously started there, Right. I've been I'm not a sushi was you know like most ethnic foods it it was just consumed by the locals. Right. So whenever there were foreigners they would some of them anyway would try this stuff, but it wasn't like a universal food the way it is right now, where think people in literally every country now have a sushi restaurant somewhere.

And I think as the demand went up, a lot of people saw the dollar bills or the I guess the yen and realized that hold up. What if we cater not to the locals but to the tourists when we charge like four times as much? They're like, that's a great idea. Yeah. Because I think the number of expensive sushi restaurants. First time I went to Japan, uh, literally the first time on Japan, also the first time I had sushi in Japan obviously was in 1999 and I went there about once a year after that.

But it was I remember eating sushi and I eat sushi almost every day that when I was there. Well. And were you hooked? Like the first time you had it, you were like, Whoa, I liked it. I yeah, I mean, I first time I had sushi was in the US actually. But the, but eating in Japan, it was good and it was cheap and my cheap, I mean, like there was restaurants that were anywhere from ten bucks up to about $40. And at that time in the US, the only sushi places were 40 to $60.

And what I mean by the dollar amount is like given the type of sushi I want to eat, that's how much you would end up passing. But in Japan there was a there were there were multiple places, but there's one right next to my hotel in Osaka where, you know, it was like basically a bucket plate. Damn, that's not bad at all. Yeah, it was like conveyor sushi place. And, you know, I'd have. How high were the plates? How high? Eight and 15 plates, you know, hungry. I was.

And yes, I was probably ten, 12 bucks average and it was very good sushi. It wasn't like shitty cheap sushi. It was cheap, but it wasn't shitty at all. And then the most fancy place I went to, they didn't speak English. That was really fun. So I had to use a super rudimentary Japanese sort of sushi. But it worked out in the end. A lot of pointing like, I want this.

Yeah, well, it like I had luckily remembered enough Japanese to be able to order the sushi, but it was a real test because it was it was like, can I communicate and remember the words for these things? Or go hungry? And you can guess which part of the brain won on that one. We've all seen Gene and we know he's not going hungry, so he figured out how to get the food. I'm hungry for a while. I'm. Yeah, Although, I mean, well, yeah.

So the, the, uh, the sushi in Japan I think definitely used been the last time I was there, it was like quite a bit more expensive. Now, what is your go to steak at a steak house. Well I mean the filet, what size we got. Seven, ten or 14. At Gibsons you have a 14, 14 inch protein that really. Wow. That's pretty. It's a good cut. So is that like is that like extra thick down there? They make it. I mean, they will butterfly it for you.

Okay. I was going to say I was wondering about that was what way is that Sounds just like a tenderloin that a four way like it's big. That's a big fillet. Give me just just just cooked the tenderloin. Don't bother trying to make it into a steak. Yeah, I don't know. It's whatever they have. I mean, a lot of places don't have anything over eight ounces. I'm super hungry. I'll order two of them, which always makes the person I'm with decide that they're not going to pay for the meal.

I'll have two of the most expensive things on your menu, please. Thank you. I could see that. It's not bad. No, for one. But Gene's like, Let me see. I'll have two of the filet is give me a lobster tail. A little lobster tail to go. Okay. Would that be cool? Thanks. Yeah, You're paying, right? I just want to be sure about this. Yeah. Hey, thanks for treating. Yeah, it's interesting, though, because I'm looking at a see what the prices currently are at Gibsons and the seven ounce filet.

And this doesn't with anything else. So this isn't like you're getting your sides or anything. The seven ounces. $51. Mm. The 14 ounce is $71. That seems like a bargain. Yeah. That's not a bad deal for that size, but seven ounce. What. Well, how do they steal the extra out. They're usually in outs. I know. I was trying to compare Gibson's to another steakhouse the other day in the Gibson's where the always a little bit different. Yeah. The big porterhouse, the 48 ounce porterhouse.

150 bucks now. Oh, that's insane. The house generally was like $65 to $75. This is the new Biden economy. This stuff has gone up exponentially. You know what else has gone up in a Biden economy that I just read about yesterday is the salaries for UPS workers. Yes. Oh, yeah. My brother in law works for them. So with the currently negotiated contract UPS worker will by five years will be making $150,000. That was including their benefits, but their benefits are very good.

The actual take home pay was going up from an average of I think it was 70 or 75 up to like 95 over the next five years. But they then they do include in there. So all of the insurance and all of those kind of benefits that they get. And my brother in law's been there. Now he's about a couple of years younger than me, so he's about 50. He's better with UPS since he was 80. And I think he started as a driver when he was like 20. So it's just like 30 years now.

He gets like three months off a year. I mean, it's great. Yeah. So $150,000 salary and it's with benefits, whatever. With benefits, fine. Whatever. Point is, the ups drivers are making as much money as a lot of white collar workers these days. More than a lot. There's no there's no doubt about that. He has been making a lot of money for a long time, and I wasn't sure how this worked. I don't know if this new deal is going to change things.

Yeah, but he was still working on the union agreement that they made like 25 years ago because he was grandfathered into it. So luckily they'll all be out of job soon enough. Well, yeah, because I the flying robot delivery services were going to completely kill off ups and make Amazon a lot more money. Well, Amazon's the one like, I'm glad we went to our own delivery service troll because they're not, they're not unionized.

And even if they try to go unionized, you know that's going to it'll take a long time to build up to where you is. And I understand they deal with a lot of crap. I mean, depending on what area you live in, there are some UPS routes that are better than others. I mean, if you're in Chicago, if you know, winter don't work there for you. Right. Getting shot at, let me know if you live in someplace where the weather is mild all the time and nobody's shooting at you.

Well, Homer, so getting shot in the winter is worse than getting shot in the summer. I'm saying both Either the winter cold or getting shot at. Oh, okay. Okay. To be fair, you'd probably get shot at less in the winter than you would at the summer, probably. Yeah. So that's a benefit. One of the points you get the shot from inside the house. Yeah, well, that's true. The calls coming from inside the house. Yeah. Look, I don't think that they, that it's a I mean it's definitely a blue collar job.

It's something that a lot of people don't want to do. Right. Is do package delivery. I get it. There's a reason that the US post office was always notorious for having a bunch of suicide. Yes. Young men running around. Well, yeah, that they were going to actually just snap at some point. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I get all that. But what we're ending up with is a, a an inflation curve that is disproportionate based on the job that you work and the sort of socio economic class you're in.

Because on the high end, like for for example, let's go with the super high end, Right. Well start at the top and work down super high end at open air. The average salary is $850,000, including benefits. Yeah, I'm not going to forget your benefits. These are big, good people. Yeah, but then these are they come? Yeah, they're at least $50,000 worth of benefits in there. Yeah, There's an $850,000 average salary, which I think like that. That's, that's like $1,000,000 every 15 months.

How do we know what job was this for? This is, this is CSB. There's so much CSB. Me Oh, okay. Yeah, I worked at Albany and then you go down to like Amazon, Amazon technical project managers out there, they make about 350,000 a year. Yeah, my niece, who is just a couple of years out of college, is works in h.r. For amazon and makes way more money than you would believe. Yeah. So and then you go down to like here in austin, a uti brand new grad with a degree in computer science.

A developer programmer. Right there. Starting wage in Austin for most companies is going to be 160,000. Right. So when you look at those jobs, do you think 850,000 for delivery? Dude, that's probably in line, right? Or because the physical labor is something that is still essential because there is a lot of packages that have to be delivered due to the e-commerce being as big as it is right now. I get all that.

But here's the here's the problem is that looking at those three examples or four examples of jobs that seem to be pretty well paid, I mean, it's like starting wages are six figures, like nobody makes less than six figures. But then there's a whole shift telling people probably a good 40% of the population never gets to six figure salaries. We become jobs. They work are well. There's a handful of podcasters making $1,000,000 up there. True. And then I'm not even including Joe Rogan.

I mean, like actual podcaster Joe Rogan came with a lot of notoriety. He was a TV presenter for many years. He was a comedian. Well, you sound so British when you call him a TV presenter. Well, I don't know why you think that's British, because nobody else calls it a TV presenter, but everybody at university called them TV presenter, Everybody at university, or whether that was on holiday called it that. Yes, I get it. So consequently, sorry I had to buy into that.

It seems like a lot, but it's not like the like for call centers or even just receptionists. They're still making 45,000 a year when when there are literally people making ten times as much as them. The that disparity between the what the Democrats love to call the the working class or the working poor and sort of the middle class Americans who are making 200, 300,000 a year is getting bigger and bigger because their it used to be that everybody made under 100,000 except for senior management.

Right. Or investors or lawyers or, you know, people that have made over six figures for them long time. But we kind of went from a country where the job rates varied from about $25,000 to about $100,000, with then exceptions above that to a country now where the job rate well, maybe not 20,000, but below 40,000, but that the top end just went sky high. It's it's literally pushing $1,000,000 a year now. Well, in the bottom got pushed and these are because of the minimum wage increases.

Yeah but it but it hasn't matched inflation that well to never go for a minimum wage by any stretch. But if you look at the actual value of a US dollar today using the same formulas that were used back in the eighties, what we have is roughly a 330 I think 340% inflation over the last 40 years. So when we have a a $20,000 car in 1990, that car is roughly the same as in 90,000. Our car today, like that dollar amount is worth the same, right?

So people making $40,000 today, well, they would have been making $12,000 in the eighties, except they weren't. They were more similar 20,000 than the 80. Well, it's similar to the whole Satoshi thing, too, because people cannot process that in their in their heads. They can't figure out the inflation rate and they can't figure out they just see the overall number and think, well, that's more like, well, it's not because everything else costs, you know.

Yeah, you may be making 20% more than you were then, but everything else has gone up 40%. So that's a loss. You know, you recently had to replace in air conditioning, so you would know this, but most people would not know what is the price of anything this year in 2023 to have a new condenser put in, not a new furnace, just the condenser put in itself installed was 3800 bucks. Okay, well, you got a sweet deal, but the real price.

So let's say your your AC dies and you want your guys come out and say, we're going to, you know, here's here's what we're going to propose we put in here. You were a little undersized before. They always tell you that my guy didn't because he's actually a friend and legitimate retired. So we'll see in five years. But that one, when you yeah he looked hard for some reason before he sold the euro to you.

Yeah they give you that term on the price point. No. So let me let me just take a look at your, your chart there and then we'll, we'll give you the price point. I think it was the same exact size as the unit that was replaced. It had been working fine for over a decade. Yeah, it wasn't exactly so anyway, but I'll tell you what it is, because I work with these guys all the time. It's about $30,000.

If you want to get a new AC unit, it's you have to basically get a home equity loan for a you that 30 grand, that's a little bit too high. No, this is the average ticket price of a new air conditioning system for an existing home. Well, what size home are we dealing with here? Texas size home. What is it? Because that seems a little larger than what we've got going here that actually multiple Southern.

Okay, not where you live in the middle of frozen tundra, but for people living on the southern states of the United States, where it is a little warmer that well what has to keep in mind, like my AC runs 24 seven without turning it off for about six months now, most places that you would sell up north don't need to do that. That's true. So you can you can have lower lifecycle units sold up north because you just don't need them. It'd be a waste to do that and those are going to be cheaper.

But if you're buying an AC down south, it's going to be about 30. K Now, have there been plenty of people that have bought them for less? Of course it all depends on what you finally agreed to, but if you go with the unit that the AC dude is telling you is the right fit for your house and you buy something. The last year, at least 20 years, you're going to spend $30,000 up. I remember when my parents bought an AC unit, they replaced the one they had back in the eighties and it cost 3000.

So we're seeing prices that have gone up a lot more than the 300 and whatever percentage that the total inflation has been a select item. Like I remember buying eggs not that long ago, even maybe 20 years ago, buying eggs for $0.39, $0.49 for a carton and 12. Now they were giving them away free at times. Okay, sure. I don't I don't think I've ever gotten free eggs. But really, your grocery story doesn't do that. Like, hey, you're a great customer. Here's a coupon free dozen eggs. Definitely not.

Wow, you're in the wrong place then. I clearly. But now I don't remember buying them for $0.39. Well, that's not bad. This old house says you can buy a five ton unit for materials and installation between 1940 200. No, it's what this house says. Are you talking? Your house might be a contractor that can buy stuff wholesale. I don't know, but it's a show. Don't you remember this old house with no arm? And. And the other guy was a great DBS. This old house. You never watch this old house?

I don't think so. Well, you got to check it out, man. It was great. So. Well, either way, I'm just telling you about Southern states. No, I worked with multiple air conditioning companies in southern states, and I was shocked how expensive these things were. And what it comes down to is to have air conditioning that will both provide the level of cooling that you want and the longevity that you need given the cycle rates or the run rates in southern states.

Again, I'm not saying that up north you're going to spend that much, but down here, that was either that or if you get something that's significantly cheaper, you just going to replace it more frequently. So would you rather replace an air conditioner or every seven, ten years for $10,000 or replace it once for 20 or 30,000? And then same thing with the pool. It can get your house. It's been over 110 degrees every single day in enough in the air for months.

Well, I've got a place in San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Fort Worth that's on the high end. Looks like about 5000. Are you sure we're talking about the same types of units? Well, I don't know. Air conditioning. What place have you got? That's 5000. It is Atlas AC repair dot com. Now they do a heat pump. The whole system is about seven. Nobody here does Heat comes unless they're retarded. Well yeah, because it's not going to cool your house enough.

No, but that's what soon that's going to be the federal law. You wait and see. That's going to be the new federal law. Be like, Well, no, you can't have a condenser unit. Those are way too hard on the environment that we're trying to save. Yeah, Yeah. It's I mean, yeah, they've got prices listed, but that it's when they I guarantee you when you get to your house dude the quote they're going to give you is a lot more than this.

Now I do see here how much is a higher efficiency AC system and if you have a five ton high efficiency that they go up to about thousand, which you get more in that range, then? Well, that and then I think the price you're looking at is that the $5,000 is it's the unit cost. So double that with installation and these are probably still undersized and units you might need four or five of them for one house. Just try to keep yourself cool. Yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know.

It's all I know is I Look, here's how I know pricing. I looked at the books, I looked at the financials of these companies. So I, I know how much they're making from air conditioners. And it comes out to about 30 for a new install. Now, obviously, they don't make that on service calls.

They don't make it if they just come in and do it while replacement that was those are going to be doing a lot of work in the House or is this a replacement or is it because they're it's also going to be cost if it's a brand new install because although I guess it's rare at this point, I know it's a new install in an old house.

Gotcha. So, I mean, there should be the ducts and all that ready run through the house that although I could see if it's in a really old house they if they never had any duct work put in. Yeah. I mean we look at people like our buddy Beamer rose up in the upper great you know, northwest of the United States uses an old I guess that a gas stove, a wood stove in the house to heat up the place. So I really I do know that. Yeah. Yeah. It's like living off the grid, man.

The has to come in and put firewood in it, light it up If you want to be warm in the winter. Yeah. I mean, like even then from looking at this Atlas site, you look at it, it's like it's $164 per event. You have 15 vents in the house. That's 2500 bucks. Yeah, that would all add up if you're doing any kind of work inside that runs. Yeah. Dark brown cars. That's another three and a half thousand dollars. I mean, all this shit starts to add up. You're like, you may just move someplace cooler.

It seems way easier. Yeah. Oh, and then. Okay, so here we go. A high efficiency AC system there. That's more like it. So $17,000. I already said that. Yeah. So 17. Well, there you go. 17 plus labor, about 30 grand. It is insane, really. It's a lot it is a lot of money and, and if you go with a you know, I'm better known brand like a Bosch or something or a high quality brand, then of the prices obviously go up as well.

So now having said that, the reason I brought it up obviously is as an example of stuff that's gotten ridiculously expensive, like the AC cost as much as a car, I don't even remember an air conditioner ever costing as much as a car. 20, 40 years ago. Like those were not comparable priced right. You wouldn't you wouldn't be talking about the you go yes you would have not thought like someday air conditioners are going to cost this. All right. And I don't mean like an old car.

I mean like you could buy a perfectly drivable Toyota. I don't know, not a Camry. But whatever the cheaper one of that is the Camry for 30 grand. Still, I'm pretty sure they still make those broiler or something. Yeah, I think so. Or a you know, a Honda, whatever their thing that's cheaper than a quarter is Civic is it? Maybe. Yeah I bet you a Civic is 30 grand or less. Stop and look those and long but probably I would guess now I haven't looked at new cars in a long time.

We drive them until they die. Mm. The much better way to go with the current pricing at everything. And I saw a guy do a breakdown the other day and there are no small pickup trucks anymore and it's all because of the EPA in their fucking manual pickup trucks. What are you talking about? Very few small pickup trucks are to serve them. And there's a lot two of them. I mean model is not none, there's two. But the road and I actually like the Ford one. I think it's super cute.

I forget what it's called. It's like the Ford, if it's smaller than the Ranger, Ranger is now like a full sized truck or a I guess they're not still technically called full size. They're I don't know. But if you look at the size of the current Ranger, its dimensions, its length, width and height are about the same as an F-150 was 20 years ago. Right. And the back then, of course, the ranger was way smaller, but now they've got another one that is super cute. Looks like the old ranger.

I, I seriously am thinking of picking one of those up because I've always liked small trucks. Like to me that's a pretty good utilitarian. So it's good to have down there in Texas. You can throw anywhere, you can throw some stuff in the back. I just like having something that yeah, that you can put things into without worrying about. Can you open up your your hatchback enough to fit the thing in.

But all of these just looking at the Ford say I mean do you not remember like the little Toyota pickup trucks we had in the eighties that were. Yeah. I mean these are foreign they were grown too. They've gotten way bigger. Right. Well, this is this is it because of the EPA standards for fuel mileage that they basically screwed the small trucks, even though it makes no sense because the small trucks would actually use, you know, those maverick.

Yeah, those are you go those trucks back in the in the eighties were little, you know, four cylinder, you know little mini things about what you have today. Yeah. The maverick. That's the one. Like I could totally see get one of those because it's, it's small, it fits in parking spaces. This other thing you drive and F-150 or whatever brand of truck the full size ones right now. I mean like the 1500 or the 150 not the 25 or 35, they're barely passable. Oh, I know.

They barely fit in the spaces Like there's no you better hope there's no other truck parked next to you. Oh, although. Okay, so the maverick starts at 23,000 for the basic version, but then it goes up to 35,000 pretty quickly. Oh, what you want? You want tires on it? Oh, yeah. That's going to be an extra charge. No Yeah. You can end up with a small truck that's 40 grand without trying too much. Those formats are very expensive. Jean. Yeah, No, I think. Come with it. Actually it doesn't.

Good format, but I don't know. It's whatever you want to throw in the back. It's just it's nice and practical to have a truck bed in the back, fly the Russian flag the truck like the one in Texas. They like to have the big Texas flags don't they. Yeah. You know, the window or something. Yeah, you probably do that. Ooh, that orange. I like the orange color in this thing. The hot pepper red. But it's called we we do have to booster grams from CSB who came in with 8015 twice.

The first one was before the show and he just said please visit w w w that CSB that LOL remark and that I think that's a better domain for him than the old his old one. Well the other one was fellow. Well one. Yeah. Well that was for a show that doesn't exist now. I know but, but the this is a better domain overall. Now the one that he just sent during the show is that he sent it through podcast index dot org.

He's testing that to see if that works but see if anything stood up in mind and he still does wants people to visit WW That's the CSB dot lol and that he hasn't gotten anything from that though. Very interesting. So it's always failing. It doesn't matter whether it was from Fountain. Yeah, from selling podcast index. The two different although are the funds in podcast index. That's an old fountain. Are they all pulling the funds from al B They may be. I don't know.

It's interesting when something's worth something, so don't hold on. I might have gotten 8015, so you should have got. Yes, I got four. Oh, finally. There we go. We fix it. You finally got to see us B boost. The funds are flowing. My back to get some of that polish money coming in there. Yeah well core Wambach right back to you XP. Hey, I don't know if you saw there is a little video that I posted on No agenda Social that talked about Poland becoming the new financial powerhouse in Europe.

Well, that's why we all have to get there. And the Polish women are beautiful. Yeah, if you like blonds. Yes. Okay. Anonymous boost. 333 I like the redhead myself. Well, that you want to get to Ireland. Scotland? Ooh, more redheads in Ireland. Yeah, but scotch is not as good as Irish whiskey. And I know 90% of the world will disagree with me. I know. That's exactly what I'm saying. Yeah, I've tried. I like. Give me. Give me some of that. I love whiskey.

I you know, I. Although I don't drink anything now due to the you know, I don't either, which is funny because I get two guys that don't drink anymore talking about with maybe we you know I guess we do We the reality is we can enjoy up to the point of swallowing it. So it's kind of like the I didn't inhale Bill Clinton thing. Hmm. I guess we could still take the whiskey swishing around in the mouth and then just spit it out. Out? Yeah. I don't think I would enjoy that. Seems like a waste.

Well, it seems like a waste. And frankly, I don't really want that Whiskey in my mouth is somewhat will get absorbed right through the mouth as well. That's true. And you might get mouth cancer. Well, you might get mouth cancer without the whiskey too. That's true. Depends on how much acid you're eating. Well, wait, What? What? That. You know, I thought I already had a cold opener for the show that. Yeah. You're not going to be able to beat that one. I'm sorry. No, Take the time stamp.

Yeah, I hit them. That's it. All you got to do? We get it. You pull up the audition page that's currently rolling. All the recordings, and you just hit em and it makes a little line there, and it just. There you go. It's perfect because it's still there. After you read it down to the stereo file that it turns into. Mm hmm. But this is interesting. The only truck that you can get with without a full size four doors is the Ranger.

You could still get the Ranger with the little half door in the back. Is it still a gas powered or is it electric? Is electric now has different standards from the EPA. Yeah. So the the the little truck, not the ranger, the the maverick that you can get an electric as well because that's what they're pushing.

They want you to be electric And then when the grid goes down as it has in the Austin before that and everybody's like wow, what goes down here like ridiculously And the heat wave man, I hear the heat there is just insane right now. That's like 180 degrees here. Have you had this kind of heat before? Jean Louis We have the boots on the ground. I have had heat like this in the past. You know, we. But you were supposed to say it's never bed like this.

No, no, it's global warming, obviously, in 2011, So 12 years ago, it was almost identical. We had over 100 days in a row of over 100 heat. And I think this year's very comparable. And the worst part of it isn't even the heat itself. I mean, the heat's not great, but the worst part of it is it doesn't rain that entire time. So my grass is totally brown. The just in general Austin, which typically keeps green grass, unlike Dallas, Dallas like you expect brown grass every year no matter what.

But here not so it's a little more wet. So there's a little more greenery here. But this year there's like nothing. The last rain we had, I think was in May, and when everything dries out, then there is a fire risk. Yes, absolutely. There is definitely a fire risk, which is interesting because the fires in Hawaii don't make any frickin sense to me because you're like, this is as shit. Like, I've been to that little village that burned down. I've literally been there and

it's it's moist there. It's humid. There's a fog every morning. I don't understand how the hell got so dry that a fire could get out of control. Arson, maybe. I mean, yeah, but still, if it's like, you're not going to have fire through, you could. It gets out of control in a rain forest. Well, I was intrigued because no agenda did start yesterday with Adam playing clips from, I believe it was 2016 and 2018 with huge fires in Hawaii, probably from lava. I don't remember if that was or just now.

If there is a lava fire and you have a hurricane nearby, that the winds could definitely blow some stuff around. Sure. But this is also not the first time there have been fires in Hawaii. And as you're saying, with the heat temperature, that the heat or, the temperatures in Texas or both.

If anybody would care to go back and look at the records, because I think they kept records of these things, you would be able to tell instantaneously that this is not such a new thing, like, oh, my God, this is the first time. It's like, no, it's not. Yeah, yeah. You go back into the 1800s where they had records and stuff and it's like it's deadly hot and they pretend like, No, this is new. But they also never want to talk about the activity of the sun.

It's hilarious because I will listen to any argument you have about why the planet getting warmer or colder. But if you're totally discounting what's happening with the sun, I will just walk away because you're not being honest or you're just too stupid to understand how the whole system works because it has a very big effect. But nobody ever talks about that on the left.

It's never like, well, there's could be the sun is closer right now than it has been for years, or there's more sun activity or nope, nope. All those people, those are the ones I like to take a nice 300 watt halogen light bulb, turn it on that, take their face and keep moving it closer. It's like, Do you feel something? Hmm? And when they scream, you're like, Well, that's the sun.

So your argument is the earth gets closer to the sun and therefore it gets hotter y times and the sun has a higher activity. If you dip that bulb, it gets a little bit cooler. But if you turn it all the way up, it gets warmer. Mm hmm. And I'm not saying that's 100% of it, but I think I was going to say everybody knows, but I don't think that's the case. I think most people understand if the sun were to extinguish itself today, we'd all be very cold very quickly.

We'd all be dead very quickly. Huh? Well, you'd be very cold in that. You would be dead very quickly. Yes. It's like this is not a small part of what warms the earth. The sun, this thing, this ball in the sky. It's in fact, the only thing that warms the earth. Now, the earth may be able to retain a little bit more of that heat, but yes, that's where the heat's coming from. Yeah, the Earth does not have very good insulation.

And so the retention of heat, uh, while there is some, it's pretty crappy. And so we're constantly having to run the furnace, stay warm. C Brooklyn points out it takes 7 minutes for the light to go from the sun to the earth. So I guess if it goes out, we have 7 minutes to party, then it's over. But we won't even know. So that's the beauty. That's right. You won't know because the.

The amount of time it takes for that signal to come through is ironically no faster than the amount of time it takes for the light to get here. Right. You might get a quarter of a second like that if the light itself is actually a little faster than the signal. Oh, well, okay. You know, so. Yeah. So you will get the lights will go out and then you'll get the message. Yeah. But they'll just say you're from Russia. Launched the mission to the moon yesterday. Wow.

Yeah. Yeah. I can't understand this. It seems like the economy in Russia is doing okay. People are out there buying things. Their malls are packed, Everything is good. These sanctions don't seem to be doing anything. No, I posted video from Russia this morning that the sanctions aren't doing anything. It's just playing into that. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So but yeah, there was a flight out.

It was a spacecraft that's going to land on the moon and it's got a little laboratory in it and do some testing and things up there. It is actually the first space mission to the moon that Russia has set up ever since the Americans faked the moon landing. Well, then the Russians will be able to tell if we were there not. Well, they're not going to the same place that we allegedly were. Different part of the moon. Yeah, they're going to the the I think it's the northern pole.

They're always worried about the Poles. Those Russians. I don't get it. I know. You got to watch the poles, man, but yeah, they're going to be. So this is the first mission that is supposed to determine the best site for the base. They're going to build a whole moon base is the plan. That's the plan. And be able to then have readily available water, which is why you go to the pole. And once you have water available, you got everything available because water is fuel, it is life.

Well, more importantly, fuel, because I don't think anyone wants moon life, but moon fuel would be pretty handy. And then they can actually start mining helium three on the moon and then bring it back there. What is helium three? So it's a it's a very abundant thing on the moon, but not on earth and used for energy. I mean, will it be helpful with electric cars or, you know, saving the planet? Well, it's it's for yeah, sure. Saving the planet. Why not?

But it's basically it can be used for fusion. And fusion is the future of energy, obviously. So having a readily available source of helium three for fusion reactors is going to mean that there's I hate to use the word cheap because we know it ain't going to be cheap. Nothing is ever a cheap but cheap in terms of raw resources. It's a very cheap form of. So Russia will have a leg up? Well, no, China's already got a base on the moon. Oh well, okay. That. Yeah. Or are they going to fight?

And who gets to get the most helium three out of the Russian one is going to the opposite side is the Chinese one. Are they going one of you, are they going to build a pipeline maybe back to Earth between the two? Yeah, maybe. Or just to the earth. Yeah, that'd be good too. It'd be like the space elevator concept. Can't we just have a big tether from the. From the moon, From the moon to the earth? You could. Yeah, it'd be interesting. I mean, it would be.

It would have to be to a tether from the moon to a like, not really the earth ground there. You could have a tether dropping down toward the earth, but because the earth itself rotates, right. You know, every 24 hours, if you had a tether between the earth and the moon, there'd be a yo yo effect. That'd be awesome.

You would win that. Yeah. Would, like, pull the moon back, you know, and throw it, throw it further away and then pull back in that, you know that one to remember the earth and the moon. Both spin around each other. No, the earth is flat. I thought. Yeah, well, the flat earth is spinning around the round moon. Oh, well, that makes sense. Yeah. So this is where we explain science so anybody can understand it. Yeah, This is totally yo yo yos and pizza pies.

Yeah, that's how we think that we see now. Pizza pies. Everybody's like, now I understand. Huh? Uh huh. Exact way. But they're like, Is it thin crust or is it stuffed or deep dish? What do we got going? Well, Chicago style, right? Yeah. Which is the deep dish overall, but the thin crust is better. You're basically a video of somebody that was like, Yeah, thin grass. Totally better. Mm hmm. I did. Yeah. I thought you'd like that.

And I don't mind a good deep dish or stuffed pizza every now and then. But for the the day to day pizza, it's hard to beat the thin crust. They aren't day to day anymore because. Yeah, I was going to say, check with your heart before you do the day to day pizza. Yeah. You don't want to do that. Well, and it is cost prohibitive Now if you're buying from pizza places because they're I don't know what they're thinking except that they want more money.

Well, yeah, but they're getting out of control in pizza. Is that everybody that runs a pizza joint. These like, pizzas, like, the cheapest thing in the world to make is like, these big pizzas are, like, five bucks. The ingredients are. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. So what they're selling for, like, 35, 40. It's like you're just getting a little bit greedy. But I am considering. I mean, I don't know, man. A deep dish pizza has more than five bucks.

Well, your deep dish it are regular like I'm talking said crust pizza. Yeah, I think gross probably is. But, I mean, I like that my favorite style is still the Neapolitan, and I would to get one of these. It seems like there's a few different choices now for ovens that you can get for home use somewhere outside, you know, But there are a couple now they've made that are inside ovens that get up to maybe eight by 100 degrees, which for a home ovens pretty damn hot. Yeah, that's them.

And you could make your pizza in a couple of minutes out of wood. Stone. Totally. And that's a much healthier way to go as as much as. Yeah. And I those are great. Like I've eaten pizza in Rome that was made in the stone oven like that. They're all by the ovens. Probably 500 years old. Maybe, Maybe. But it definitely doesn't go in there for very long now. You like to spin it like every 30 seconds, Otherwise it's going to burn. But yeah, it's. It's in there just for a few minutes.

But honestly, I think that the best invention that we've ever come up with for the food industry is the, the automated pizza ovens with the, uh, were you thinking escalator? It's not an escalator. It's the conveyor belt That's always like the ones that you have in the restaurants. All the fast food, pizza places use them, right? I remember when those first hit the scene, it was like a frickin miracle because we used to do it in the Oval for you.

And you're like, Wow, pizza comes right out, cooked. I, I worked pizza a number of times and I worked for all the big pizza companies in the past and used to burn your arms, your, like, you know, uh, the what does that part of the arm called? Like the forearm. Yeah, I guess it'd be the forearm, Yeah. Yeah. When you're pulling it out of the back there it, when you're not like seven feet tall and you're trying to pull a pizza out of there, you have to really reach it.

You have to really pull over your head and you get the long pole and you reach and burns are inevitable. You always end up getting burned in those stupid things because they, you know, you can't just have an oven that's at like eye level with that's it. You have to have multiple layers of the ovens. We need both ways, right? So you can put multiple ones in there.

But when they came out with that conveyor belt and and you can tweak it, you can set it and the perfect and then you can adjust the speed of the belt to determine how much you like, how crispy of a crust you can get. And it works. Awesome. I love those things. They're not cheap, but man, if you don't have like a conveyor belt pizza oven in your house, you don't know what you're missing. Well, how many do you have. But you probably have a backup. That back of pizza.

Oh, man, I'm trying to lose weight. I don't do the pizza anymore. Wow, that's depressing. Mm. But you know what's really good? Have you ever tried? And I have not. I mean, I am a pizza snob, and I am not a fan of most frozen pizzas. They're mostly garbage. Yeah, The home run air and frozen pizzas are really good. If you have them available out there. And I just looked it up to see what they're still going for because they were always fairly cheap.

Now at our local grocery store, still seven bucks a piece. 699 Well, let me check the H-E-B's to see if they got them here. It's a different kind of a crust. It's a very buttery crust home run. It. Yeah. They have Chicago's home run premium pizzeria. Ten bucks. Yeah. So ours are seven here. But I mean, they have to ship it all the way to Texas, so that makes it, you try one of those if, if you get a chance they just straight out sausage pizza. It's delightful. Sausage, sausage, sausage.

You got to get a little home run in sausage, but you can get a personal one for 414. Oh, that's a bargain. The personal ones here are like 419. So that's about the same. They're just it. You are the the ones. Yeah. It looks like the larger others. They're actually more expensive than the personal ones. I mean, per ounce. Yes. Uh, it looks like 859 is retail 699 and sale here. Oh, really. Yeah. Nine 934 or the large 132 answer meatballs, but it comes at a lower xabier eight for pepperoni.

934 That's kind of ridiculously bright. It is a little expensive for that, but I mean it's better than any of the other frozen. Do you like the pepperoni? I do. I don't. It's a it's I mean, it's not something you want every day. Yeah, it's it's the wrong kind of space. I don't want that. I don't mind the space, but it can be a little greasy. It's definitely increasing. Yeah, but sausage is also greasy. But sausage. I like that you put sausage and pepperoni out, you let them fight it out.

No, you just don't put the pepperoni. Whenever I've gotten pizza, like, take out or whatever, I've, I've always like I would get a meat lover's and I would pick off or well have them. You say you could just order it that way. You don't have to order extra pepperoni and then take it off now, right. No I do I, I generally will substitute Canadian bacon for the pepperoni. That's not bad really. With the the local place here, they have the the option to do black olives and fade.

I think we've talked about that before. That is a great combination. If you wanted to be a little more filling some grilled chicken to it and it's a delightful pizza but try that. And it's it's perfect. It's the perfect frozen pizza just for you. I'll try it. But, you know, I mean, in the in the heart. Well, you know, again, that's half of 1 to 6 of the other. Whatever they say. That's no difference that we all got to go at some point, right? Yeah. You may as well be happy doing it.

So are you still drinking lemons? I have not recently. I should. I need to restart. I haven't either. And I just watched the video that reminded and they have a slight twist on the lemon. Oh, What did they tell you to do now? So you start. It's same basic starters as what we've been doing is you take all lemons, you blend Rasam, you take the lemon, all you do. You want to put it in a little hot water or something first to get the plastic off the outside, the wax.

I mean, I prefer the plastic myself. Really. You keep the wax. It is weird. It has a very weird feel. Was the wax gives it a more of a more of a thicker flavor. But it's it's wax and it does multiply the wax. Good. Yeah, I know it's a emulsified wax, but I prefer the wax off. If you prefer wax on, that's fine. You like wax off that so you can wax off while you want to wax all the waxing off. I mean, that's their prerogative. I guess that's another way from their owner. No, not at all.

Okay Well, let's get. I'll just wax on myself with that. So the twist is the following. There's a few more ingredients. First of all, Chuck, a clove of garlic in there. All garlic has a shit ton of antibacterial properties, and they recommend checking the clove of garlic in there. That's interesting. I have garlic pills. I mean, I know that's supposed to be great for hard honey.

I take those myself back, but the, you know, the fresh garlic get and then put a little splash of apple cider vinegar and now you're saying it's already kind of sour. Why would you put the vinegar in there? Well, it's a different kind of apple cider vinegar. Yeah. It has some really good immune supportive function there. And then a dash. So you get it, Chuck a clove, then you add a splash of the vinegar and you put a a dash of cayenne pepper in there. A dash. Okay. Dash or cayenne pepper.

Can I use cayenne powder? I've got a lot of cayenne powder. Well, yeah. Pepper powder. Yeah, cayenne pepper powder. So that it and then then you have something that has all the benefits of the bits of the lemon plus a few additional things. And it still mostly like lemon. I've only done this once, I've only tried this recipe once. So but I think I'm going to try doing this on a regular basis. Now I'm interested the is the ginger. Ginger. That seems like it might actually go well together.

Well, and I think the garlic will go pretty well in there as well. Sorry I said ginger event garlic. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I mean lemon ginger is a flavor that a lot of people like. You're welcome to put Ginger in there. I don't know. That's going to do a whole lot for you healthwise, but Ginger is this good? You just right this. You're looking for something that it doesn't taste horrible. Yeah, I mean, it's antiparasitic. I guess if you feel you might have parasites.

Ginger is always good. It's always possible. Yeah. I mean, you know, I guess you just have to check whether or not you're married for that one. We are not professional dietitians. This is not health advice. This is cooking. We're allowed to do cooking talk show thing. We have. This is the best cooking show anybody's ever heard. That's right. So that's it. That's the ingredients.

Lemon, garlic, a little bit of apple cider, a little bit of canned pepper in a blender with either a little bit of ice or a little bit of water. Your choice, Are you picky about your lemons? Do they have to be organic? You don't care. I like the small lemons myself. I feel like the smaller ones have thinner skin. Know probably be right there. The smaller ones, they're like maybe two inches in diameter. The bigger ones are like three and a half. And that's true.

The more rind you're going to get, the more you're going to be moving away from the liquid. Yeah, well, the rain is good. I mean, ultimately part of the mix is actually the skin. Yeah. Like if you could just eat lemon skin without the rain or lemon inside, that's probably all you need. So all you need for a healthy, cool and kids. Yeah, because that's where all of the the oils are. And in fact an awful lot of the vitamin C is in the skin as well.

People think of lemon, I need to get the blender back out, get that thing rockin, get it blend the way. And the only thing I would tell people and you will, I'm sure, will agree with this and this recipe is you can't batch make this stuff because it oxidizes very quickly. So you literally have to make it and instantly drink it. If you leave it in the fridge for an hour, it'll taste the way wort make it good.

Yeah, put a little bit of honey in there if you really think it's too sour, but I don't usually honey is like if you're if you're not trying to be super careful about calories. Absolutely. Put honey in there. Because honey is also really good. It's antifungal and it's all natural. You do remember this is a cooking show, not a medical show, right. And you could just have that as a delightful summer beverage. Mm. Which probably be good.

I was used to was doing that when I had the blender hooked up in the kitchen here for. Yeah. For riding the bike. I'd go, I would make that. Now I've just one of the none at you. YouTube is the brand. They make the little tablets that are electrolytes. So I just popped those in a water bottle and. Have you tried what they called it? The Oh, is it bigger than a breadbox? It's bigger than the breadbox. Now it's mine and it's out there.

What was that movie? Soylent Green. We tried. So. No, I have not tried the Soylent Green. I hear it's people are spoilers. Okay, so try the vanilla Soylent. It's actually pretty good. Yummy. I would recommend it. Soylent has 100% of all the daily nutrients that a human needs, along with all the calories and everything else because it's made of people. So it has everything that you need all in one drink right? It is people because it is people.

And so but the vanilla one in particular, I think tastes better in the chocolate. Not so good. And then the strawberry not so good, but the vanilla Soylent is worth it. I did. I did that for about a month. I lived on nothing but Soylent. Everybody's got to do what they got to do. Well, I'm just saying. I mean, if you're if you're, like, driving your bike thing, the silent thing makes total sense. Well, you always could use a little extra people in your life. Well, who can exact. Right.

We just got a big boost from the one and only clip custodian who said, wow, ten in a row of ducks. 22,222 Satoshis during the Soylent action part of the show, what kind of a security plan custodial like the the cooking aspect of our show? Uh huh. No doubt about it. We have we have a do a show called Cooking That something? Yes, Cooking dot I. Oh, is that available? Yeah. We should step it up. Well, I'm sure because I that cooking was the other show we could do the job that is probably available.

Yeah. Could be cooking with you can do everything with a I you could in fact clip custodian says he was digging the recipes. There you go. Oh, see, there you go. We had to do more marketing stuff. And as the last time we talked about the lemons, a lot of people, when they hear take a whole lemon, put it in a blender, including the skin and rind, they're like, what? But it doesn't come out horrible. It actually comes out really good. I was surprised the first time as well.

But you need also you need like the super duper Vitamix or that level of blender. You don't want to put this in your old fifties blender. No, it's the way that it should be blended with the multi horsepower blender is like Vitamix is to a consistency of a shake. You should not have little chunks of lemon in there, right? Yeah, chunks of. Lemon After blowing it for 3 seconds, then you need a different blender. You want to be as liquid as you can get. Yeah, it should be absolutely. Liquefy it.

Then I found I mean, I don't think you do this usually, but I found that then putting it in ice cubes until it's the consistency of like a slushy also worked really well. Yeah. So I was generally just using cold water in there. Like I usually keep a of saltwater in the fridge. In the fridge. So I just put some of that in there.

But you could use ice cubes if I'm you sure gets you a nice slushy and that if you don't like the texture because of the rind, because of the skin, the ice actually kind of hides that even more. Well, it desensitizes your mouth. This is one of those things that a lot of foodie people are very careful about is the temperature of the food. It it affects the ability of your mouth to taste as many of the flavors. If things are too hot or too cold, you're going to miss a lot of the salty.

So you have. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Your your ideal temperature for eating things is 100 degrees Fahrenheit. But now if you're drinking, this is why people put whiskey that people that aren't whiskey drinkers, if you have a strong like bourbon or something, they put a lot of ice in it because it's like, Oh, well, that makes it better. It's like, no, it's just No, you're not tasting it. Exactly. Yeah. If you're drinking expensive whiskey, please don't put anything in there.

If you have somebody that insists that tastes better with water, it's literally one drop of water. Yes. Yeah. That that's which is weird because I've tests of this back when I drank and it doesn't seem like it should make any sense. It's probably more of a psychological thing but if you put just if you're putting any water in that shot of whiskey. Absolutely right. It one drop literally not more so one drop from a stopper.

Yeah. And it's just enough allegedly to break up the molecules to open it up a little bit. Whatever is allegedly. Well, there isn't exactly that. It's chemistry. It's happening. Because what happens when you put the water in is that water propagates to areas of more that that have a higher concentration of things other than the water.

Basically, it's the way that osmosis works, right, is that if you have salty water on one side and an unsolved you water on the other side of a membrane osmotic membrane, then it will pull the water from the freshwater side to the saltwater side because water will always move towards where the largest concentration of other chemicals are, whether it's, you know, salt or anything else.

So when you do that with alcohol, what you're doing is you're exciting the liquid in the glass because that water drop will start propagating at a relatively fast pace throughout that entire glass. And it's actually moving all the molecules around and it is changing with very little water. It is changing the taste very quickly. And this this is something that I think people have to experience to really understand because it it you're absolutely right.

It doesn't look like one drop should change the flavor. Right. But how many drops are there in in a shot glass? Two ounces is probably thousands and thousands of drops of something. It's at least hundreds. I would bet it's thousands. I don't know how many drops per teaspoon do you think there is? I would say probably at least 100, maybe 200, because a a normal shot glass is what, an ounce and a half? Yeah, I would say, you know, a a drop. I don't know.

I would think it's like 1/100 of that or something like that. All depends on what your dropper handling I suppose. But yeah, I don't know. Drops it. And how many drops in a drop like convert drop to fluid ounces. Hey. Well okay .05 milliliters usually about 20 drops per milliliter. So it is 591 drops allegedly per fluid ounce. Really? It seems like it'd be way more than that. No. See, you're you have a problem with spatial relationships. Clearly. But it's interesting. It is.

This is actually it's like this is where else are you going to hear this kind of scintillating conversation. I know, right? Talking about a drop of water drop. So, I mean, in one and a half ounces, if that's your average shot glass, which I think it is, that would be 887. So, you know, get close it it is it drops 20 drops per milliliter is what they're saying seems to be the standard.

But if you think about that, if it's a if it's one shot of whiskey and you put one drop it, it's it's about 1/1000 of the glass, but it's enough to change that profile. Yeah. Yeah. No, I think you're right. You're 500, whatever number was correct. That is crazy. There are more than I thought there were. Well, it depends on what your dropper is, I would guess as well.

Mm. Yeah. I mean, I'm thinking standard dropper, but there's multiple sources saying that there's 20 drops per milliliter the more you learn. Oh yeah. That's interesting stats, but it definitely, Well I guess maybe one 500,000 doesn't seem like it's all that weird. No. Nope, not at all. Uh huh. Well, there you go. It changes, changes the flavor. If anybody has any other good ideas on what to put into the lemon mix, sounds like people are going to say whiskey at this point, right?

Could be like if you really want to forget the you're drinking 11 put a lot of whiskey in and and lemon when blended in whole does not taste like lemon juice because that I don't you were afraid of that when I first told you about this. Right? It would be like this is going to be horrible. Well, I'm going to drink straight lemon juice from a lemon. You're insane.

But it does not taste like that at all, because when you blend the whole thing with the skin, it's a much more mild flavor and it's a different texture than what you would get with lemon juice. It does have more of that shake vibe, as you've said. Yeah. And if you put a little extra, you know, in there, you get you know, if you don't like the straight lemon juice, but it is not horrendous. And of course, cooling it down a little bit of ice can help you there.

Yeah. Or leave the the wax on if you want to thicker and you can also just go I mean there is this thing that back in the eighties were really popular called smoothies I think they still make them today. I think so but they're on the West coast, right? Throw a strawberry or two and whatever you want and it will. Now, granted, you're going to start sugaring up your. Yeah. Strawberry. I wouldn't put a strawberry That's not your anti strawberry.

Yeah. Strawberry is one of the most useless things out there. Lots of goji berries or some blackberries. What He wants something. Those are better accidents. Those are both better, huh? But yeah, that strawberry is just worthless cherries. Maybe some nice Michigan cherries. I mean, if you're trying to increase your urine, I see cyanide. Sure. Well, yeah. Who isn't? I know, right? Well, someone's already done with that routine.

If you're always afraid that somebody might be poisoning you, just it yourself. Mm hmm. Yeah. It doesn't take long. It's like six months to get your tolerance up. Yeah. I mean, this is something researched before, I'm guessing. Maybe. Do you have any health tips? Just reach out to us here at the unrelenting show. We don't do health tips, but we do have we do food recipes, Right? Unrelenting. That show. If you would like to support the show, it'd be more like Dale in Australia.

Go to Unrelenting that you're more like Dale. There is a papal button right there. I don't know if I ever put crypto or anything like that because that the whole splitting thing is too complicated for you. Yeah, you know, it's, it's papal or it is barely not complicated for you. Podcasting 2.0 And hey, as we said last time, somebody needs a bit where you all you could do is a PayPal account that automatically just gets split to two people. Why don't they do that? Exactly.

That would make life so much easier. Wait, I think Venmo allows you to do that. Do they? Because I would I believe Adam let you put in two different email addresses is if there's somebody that does that, that's what we should be using. Not everything, but Venmo's the for the kids. So we're not allowed to use it. We're not hip enough. We're not hip enough. No, no. You doing anything exciting this weekend while it's 140 degrees out in Texas? What am I doing this weekend?

I really need to get my all changed in my car. Wow. I mean, that sounds like scintillating activity, right? So exciting. You're not going to watch Elon blow any rockets up into the sky or anything? No, they just did a test just recently of the water deluge system that went well. Seemingly. There's tons and tons of water. That was good. How many positive flights does a lot need to have before you would take a seat on the rocket, which they are the new one? Yeah, whichever he does.

I'm assuming he is. That's where the his is going to wind up at some point where people will be able to take rides on them. Yeah. Yeah. Well, like through the moon that's already been sold. There's already. One that I like. There's people that I watch that are going into the moon now. Wow. Would you go to the moon with Elon Musk? Um, I don't know. I would go to Mars. I'm not sure about the moon or Mars would be a one way trip. Yeah, that's why I would go.

You're like, This is. This is why I'm fine with it. Yeah. Think. Is anybody going to try to stop make anybody see you later, Jane? Uh huh. Can we stop from Mars? What's the latency like? Oh, totally. We could still do a podcast because, you know, we couldn't do livestream, but we could do a podcast for sure, right? It would be you would say something, I would get the message responded. That would be like, what, 5 minutes between each little segment?

I'm trying to remember what the latency on that is. I think. I think it's more than that. I thought it was more like 10 minutes, but maybe I'm wrong. That would definitely add a lot of advertising space to this show. Between every message. You look at this up latency between Mars and Earth, how long does it take? Mm hmm. How long? Let's see if it says here that's a mars. It generally takes about 5 to 20 minutes for a radio signal to transmit. So I was right.

It's like, Oh, yeah, depending on planet position. So that makes sense. All this spinning and moving. Mm. 5 to 20 minutes. We would have to try to get the podcast in when it was at the five minute level. Yep. That we just sell five minute ads. So I talk that there would be very little talk over at that point as well. Mm hmm. It's a beautiful thing. I think it would be pretty cool, pretty awesome to do a mars podcast that. But yeah, a mars talk show would not work to help set Jean to Mars.

Donate to Unrelenting. And we will be back next. Same unrelenting time, same unrelenting channel for Mark or somewhere near Mars. Yeah.
