Episode 98: Spring

In this week's episode, we talk about spring. We have lived through many springs and they change minutely. This one is different because we are doing a podcast during it. Enjoy.

1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:03,600
Welcome back to another episode
of Record of My Father.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,280
Today we're going to be talking
about spring.

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,760
What do we think about spring
other than allergies and

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,480
sneezing?
Like the last episode, right?

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,960
You what the?
Sneezing.

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,240
The amount of sneezing.
I think I opened the last

7
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:16,800
episode with eight sneezes,
maybe 9.

8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,960
So at this time you're going to
open with O2. 1515 So what do?

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:29,440
You say what do you say when a
person is non religious and they

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,280
do you say bless you or do you
say gazootite?

11
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:36,440
Or do you say?
Frogs can't fly.

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,200
I am still figuring that one
out.

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:39,960
I like frogs.
Can't fly.

14
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:42,440
Frogs can't fly.
That's pretty good.

15
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,280
Yeah, something we're going to.
Work that in.

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,360
Is that going to be a part of
the merchandise line that we're

17
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,000
going to put out?
Yeah, we're going to have frogs

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,880
that have wings and we're going
to say yes they can.

19
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,600
I like that idea.
We'll do Bob the Builder on him.

20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,560
You ever see those fish that can
fly for what I think it's like a

21
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,640
half a mile or something, Like
they come out of the water and

22
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,880
they have the wings.
Flying fish is.

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,560
That what they're called I don't
know.

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:05,840
Yeah, I believe they are.
Yeah.

25
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,080
But it's like a small swordfish,
that's what it looks like.

26
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,440
Or like a Marlin or something.
Is a Marlin and swordfish the

27
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,760
same thing?
Yeah, that's what I believe,

28
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,040
yeah.
They are the same thing.

29
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,880
I'm gonna stick with that.
They look like the same thing

30
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,160
that I've ever seen.
I don't know.

31
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,240
Yeah, they're kind of the same.
There's probably various classes

32
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,880
of that particular species that,
you know, some have long swords,

33
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,800
some have shorts, some have long
fins, some have short.

34
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,000
Because I remember seeing, and I
don't remember the hell I saw

35
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
this, but I saw in somebody's
wall there was a 1 Marlin

36
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,440
fisherman and they had like 6 or
8 of them and they had a giant

37
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,320
one in the middle and they had
little ones.

38
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:40,560
And they said that's a duh, duh,
duh, duh, duh.

39
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,320
And I'm like, I don't remember
what the hell they.

40
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:44,320
Diameter of the thing as well,
yeah.

41
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:46,680
Well, well, they were big.
They were giant.

42
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,320
I mean, the the smallest 1 was
like 4 feet, but they were big.

43
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,840
They were real big.
They.

44
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,680
Had to like 300 lbs or
something.

45
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,040
Oh yeah.
Yeah, they're.

46
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,200
Like, they're like fat
relatives, you know, just just

47
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,800
come out of the woodwork.
Exactly.

48
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,680
Say something inappropriate.
You can.

49
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,280
You can count on me.
But they're getting overfished

50
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,160
like every other thing in the
world, right?

51
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,640
Because it's like, what is it,
90% of the world's largest fish

52
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:15,840
are gone now?
The world's big fish?

53
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,000
I saw the, I, I saw a meme that
said at the turn of the 19th

54
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,960
century, you saw all these
people out there and they were

55
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,000
just, there was fish all
underneath the boats and

56
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,680
everybody was with Nets and
grabbing everything they

57
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,280
possibly could.
And then all of a sudden then it

58
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,200
shows 2020, two or three or
whatever it was.

59
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,440
And then it shows everybody just
has hooks trying to catch the

60
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,480
last couple fish.
And it was sort of like the way

61
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,800
the environment is.
Today, which is, you know, off

62
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,000
the coast of Newfoundland in
that area like that is people

63
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,800
don't live there anymore and
that was one of the largest

64
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,040
fishing communities of all time.
Well, I.

65
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,960
Iceland in particular, when we,
our last visit, we, we went to

66
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,520
the sardine factory herrings,
sorry, not sardine herring.

67
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,600
And they literally would make,
bring millions and millions and

68
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,560
millions and millions of them
in, you know, just, they set up

69
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,200
3 or 4 different herring
factories within and they're

70
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,160
huge, you know, they're huge
fishing communities in the 40s

71
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,280
and 50s and they built Iceland,
you know, the whole economy was

72
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,800
built off of that because they
had evidently chum salmon and

73
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,880
all that kind of stuff was
something that what you could

74
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,360
sell.
And it was a really good for

75
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,080
this, that and the, I don't know
what the heck soap and dogs and

76
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,800
whatever the hell it was, but
it, it was a huge export for

77
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,840
Iceland.
And then it's gone over fish.

78
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,360
They, they just, they just, you
know, they took everything.

79
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,600
It's like the slurry that is
imitation crab meat.

80
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,560
Cause what is that?
That's like haddock mixed with

81
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,520
like three other kinds of fish.
Yeah, it could be, yeah.

82
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,280
Certainly tastes like imitation
crab.

83
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,040
I'm amazed that they can get the
crab taste, but there's

84
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,400
something about that texture,
though texture's a little

85
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,280
lacking.
Oh, just a Yeah, it's.

86
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,440
Kind of mushy.
So it's not the same.

87
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,320
It doesn't have the same and
that well, that's the same thing

88
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,080
that you look when you're trying
to get a a burger and you eat

89
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,720
that Beyond Meat and you can't.
And and I don't think it tastes

90
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,800
the same, but that's just.
Certainly not, but at the same

91
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,440
time, I don't mind it.
I don't mind it that much.

92
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,440
Sometimes I almost prefer it,
which is funny, really.

93
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,400
I don't I don't know if it's any
better for you though.

94
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,640
I don't think so.
I think it's just the

95
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:24,240
alternative.
It's.

96
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,080
Put you out the field with the
dogs and eat the grass.

97
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,880
Yeah, it's funny.
They use like, what is it, beet

98
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,600
root to simulate the, it's like
blood.

99
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,720
It's like glycogen or something.
You know when you get a steak

100
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,000
and it's red?
Yeah.

101
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,840
And it has like the red, the red
leaking out of it, the liquid

102
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,880
that beetroot for that.
On Oh Wow.

103
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,120
Yeah, yeah.
Isn't that interesting?

104
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,640
That is, but we were, we were
going to talk about spring and I

105
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,400
think that that it, it really,
it came at me hard this year

106
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,280
because I don't know why I just
I, I just look around and I look

107
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:02,400
out the window and I see flowers
at every place.

108
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,880
I mean the yards covered flowers
and they go out in the woods and

109
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,040
I hike it.
Scotts run park and all the all

110
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,160
the purple and Blues are coming
up all along Potomac.

111
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,840
There's little white flowers,
little pink flowers, little

112
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:19,720
yellow flower.
If you look closely at the

113
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,080
ground, you see just tons.
And the guy that mows our lawn,

114
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,200
I haven't cut it higher so it
doesn't cut off any of the

115
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,240
flowers.
So you, I just have, I have a

116
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,600
yellow field in the back, yellow
and purple and pink.

117
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,520
And it just wow.
It just to me, I don't know what

118
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,560
color does it.
It just sort of the first sounds

119
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,040
or the first thing and the birds
are going freaking crazy, you

120
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,200
know.
So it just it, it it makes me

121
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,400
more alive, more apt to get up
early in the morning, more to

122
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,920
want to see the sunrise more
want to be outside and not

123
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,960
sitting on the couch or doing a
silly podcast, you know, that

124
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,240
kind of stuff.
And but then I get pulled in and

125
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,520
and then they get out and then
they pull me back in.

126
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,200
Yes, that's what they do.
Yeah.

127
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,520
Yeah.
What do you think you're

128
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,240
noticing it more this year than
any other year?

129
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,080
Sobriety, maybe I.
Don't.

130
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,520
That'll do it.
I don't know.

131
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,640
I mean, because usually you just
want to sleep till 2, you know,

132
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,640
But now it's like I'm
officially, I think I'm

133
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,480
officially retired.
You think I'm retired?

134
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,520
Yeah, I don't know.
We can keep guessing until

135
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,920
you're dead, you know?
What about that?

136
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,360
Let's do that.
That's kind of more fun.

137
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,880
Let's hope that it's a long time
and not.

138
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:34,560
Later, not tomorrow.
Well, I want to just live past

139
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,320
the 5th, you know?
The 5th of this year.

140
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,600
No, May, because I'm going to
I'm going to go to the Derby and

141
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,680
I'm really excited about that.
And I don't know why, but more

142
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,840
so than ever before, I mean, I'm
we've got costumes and all this

143
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:52,400
other kind of stuff to go and
wear hats and you know, this is

144
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,040
just going to be great.
Wait, was it, we already talked

145
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,040
about this, but was it once or
twice before?

146
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,560
It was once right?
I've been once before.

147
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,280
Yeah, once before, OK.
And.

148
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,000
Then I hear that people go there
every year and I'm like, really?

149
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,120
This could be something, who
knows?

150
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,680
We'll see.
I just hope they kill at least

151
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,640
twelve horses this year.
I really only want to go.

152
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:12,800
Yeah.
That's right, I forgot about

153
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,760
that.
If they whack a bunch of.

154
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,440
Horses.
It's got to be more than 8,

155
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,760
which was last year's record.
Yeah, we're so it's.

156
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,720
Got to be at least 12.
Winnie, Winnie nae nae.

157
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,960
Next year after that, it's got
to be at least 20.

158
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,320
If they're not killing at least
twenty horses a year, then I'm

159
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,120
not going to show up.
I wonder how much of that goes,

160
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,840
I mean what the insurance pay is
out on that is?

161
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,440
Well, that's why they do it.
I'm pretty.

162
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,440
Sure, you know 'cause it's.
Cheaper than.

163
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,080
Yeah, Yeah.
Well, they well look, they can

164
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,720
stud I think after that.
What is that now?

165
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,520
I I mean that means they can
mate them with other horses and

166
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,240
evidently if you have a winner,
you know a super winner, people

167
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,480
will pay millions of dollars to
have sex with your horse.

168
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,520
Not people, but people have
their horse mate with you

169
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,720
because then the mayor that is
born or the whatever the hell

170
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,520
they are the female.
Good one.

171
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,480
That was a guy like.
That one, the female can have

172
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,240
more and and you what you do is
they take the bloodline and that

173
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,600
is to believed to be like makes
a better and faster horse if

174
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,040
it's from this horse or from
that horse or whatever the case

175
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,280
may be.
You know, evidently horses are

176
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,480
it's cool to be incestuous
there, you know, provided that

177
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,400
your bloodline is from King
Charles or whatever the hell it

178
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,960
is.
Yeah, there is a King Charles

179
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,720
now, right?
I think so, something like that.

180
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,200
Yeah.
Something like that.

181
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,360
Yeah.
So what about what about out

182
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,720
there?
How's the how's the flowers or

183
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,600
flowers everywhere?
It's like any other day.

184
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,520
It's like any other day
throughout the year.

185
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,200
It's a little hotter.
It's like 80° now 7580.

186
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,040
Degrees we got.
It's like any other day.

187
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,280
There's no seasons.
We have April showers, just like

188
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,760
it's raining.
It's it's overcast right now,

189
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,360
but the colors in the backyard
are just crazy.

190
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,080
And azaleas.
I have a lot of azaleas in the

191
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,080
yard.
There's probably 102 hundred

192
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:10,000
maybe and I got patches of them
that are anywhere from 5060

193
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,520
meters by 30 meters that are
just huge areas.

194
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,840
You know this, you lived here.
They did and they're like 8 and

195
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,400
9 feet high and they're just
covered with blossoms.

196
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,080
This year they're just and
they're in a peak last week in

197
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,840
April, first week in May.
But as they come on, you see

198
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,960
them start to and there's like,
and there's and it's weird

199
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,560
because I have them that they
peak early.

200
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:35,560
Like I have one in the back.
It's just beautiful, brilliant

201
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:38,440
ink and the blossoms come out
and it's like the first pink

202
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,480
that I see.
And it's just, I don't know

203
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,160
when.
For some reason, when I see that

204
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,160
life come out, you know, that it
just gives me a, that we're

205
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:52,000
whatever that, that, you know,
it's like eaten in a cone made

206
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,160
out of Snickers bars or
something.

207
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,560
I don't know something like
that, you know that just gives

208
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:57,600
you the the.
Crazy.

209
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,200
Yeah, it gives you the
goosebumps and they're like the

210
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,160
run, you know, that makes you
just feel like your shoulders go

211
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,440
up, your back and just the whole
good makes you feel better.

212
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,920
About life in general, yeah,
Something about.

213
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,720
Yeah, I mean, if you don't have
bad times, you don't have good

214
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,680
times.
And that's the that's the beauty

215
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:17,200
after winter.
And then you see all the trees

216
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,320
and slowly you can, you can see,
we can see the neighbor's house

217
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,400
all winter long.
And then all of a sudden it just

218
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,080
sort of the, the leaves just
start popping out and popping

219
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,720
out and popping out.
And then you can't see the

220
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,680
neighbor's house.
It's just, it's cool to go out

221
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:33,840
every day and see wow.
I can see the less of it.

222
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,120
Wow.
Can you see the the floodlights

223
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,320
still from the back of your yard
even in the summer?

224
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,280
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We, we, we had our lights out

225
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,320
for a while.
We cut those on.

226
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,800
That was another thing like we,
we just cut those on when the

227
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:50,240
spring light spring came out,
you know, and I found Mr. Who is

228
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:57,400
it Felix or no, I guess it would
be a, a, a pterodactyl possum.

229
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,480
Guy was in the backyard the
other day.

230
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,000
The, the dogs ran out the back
door, ran down there, chased me,

231
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,640
ran under the fence.
He was on the other side of

232
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,360
shine the light at me making
this wild possum noise.

233
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,960
And I was like, I'm just
kidding, man.

234
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,600
And the dogs were just going
nuts and I had to grab them and

235
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:17,720
drag them back.
But they, you know, roll, roll,

236
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,080
roll, get out of my yard.
Roll, roll, roll, get out of my

237
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,080
yard.
And the possum was glad to get

238
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,880
out of the yard, but he's on the
other side.

239
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,280
He's trying to dig a hole next
to a tree, which I think he's

240
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,680
there now.
And that of course, made me want

241
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:31,880
to say, you know, I should
probably have some possum houses

242
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,520
here.
I would rather do the Groundhog

243
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:36,440
house.
You know what you could do?

244
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,040
You could build those little
Hobbit homes for them with the

245
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,160
little door.
Because I remember seeing that

246
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:46,200
guy running across the lawn
years ago, a little fat guy, and

247
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,240
I wanted to put put him in a
cage for some reason.

248
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,160
There's something about being a
human and seeing something cute

249
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,600
and we're going to stay out that
needs that belongs in a cage in

250
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,320
my house.
What is that?

251
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,040
Why is that?
I don't know what that's another

252
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,160
positive sign of spring.
Let's catch the animals.

253
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,280
Let's catch them.
Let's catch them.

254
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,760
And what?
I saw that guy though, he looked

255
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,200
great though.
Yeah.

256
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,400
I haven't seen one in years.
There's a guy that lives in the

257
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:12,800
back and he lives right by the,
the rear sewage cap down by

258
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,680
Scott's Run and then which is
about 75 yards from the house.

259
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:22,080
And then, and there's one in the
front that lives where the where

260
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:27,520
the where the water comes from,
all the gutters is put together

261
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,200
and, and there's an output into
a little pool of cistern,

262
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,080
whatever that captures the
water.

263
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,800
And then it slowly rolls into
the Creek.

264
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,680
There's the guy lives there.
And so when he's out during the

265
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:43,680
day, if it's a warmer day, he
will be out and then they will

266
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:45,520
see him and they will run after
him.

267
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,200
And he's like, it is the
funniest thing in the world to

268
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,400
see the fat dude run.
I didn't know where he resides.

269
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:55,880
I've seen him go in there and
then disappear, so I I'm

270
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,760
guessing that he lives there.
You you don't go in there and

271
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,680
drink tea with him or something.
No, no, no, I mean I have.

272
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:05,480
Like no tea drinking with the.
Like across the Creek, you know

273
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,320
where we sit in the front on the
I got I got water on God, three

274
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:14,520
sides of the house.
On the in the front the the fox

275
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:20,560
lit, there's a big, huge, I
guess Poplar probably 3 1/2 feet

276
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,040
diameter.
And underneath that the, the

277
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,800
roots are all around the edge of
the Bank of the Creek and it's

278
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,280
about 9 feet deep, 10 feet deep
to where the water is.

279
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,280
And right there in there, all
the roots are exposed.

280
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,120
And the fox live in there.
Because I saw one come out

281
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,160
snatch a what I think was a
chipmunk.

282
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,880
I'm not really sure because I
were there.

283
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:50,080
They're cool.
I know, I know that was, it was

284
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,200
kind of horrible.
But I was sitting at the chair

285
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,880
there and I smoke a cigar and
this guy, and then I see all

286
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,400
this rustling and I hear this,
the squeaking.

287
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:00,400
And then I hear the then I see
him pop it up in the air and

288
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,400
catch it in his mouth.
And that was it, you know, And

289
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,920
then he runs back down and runs
underneath.

290
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,040
And then I set up another bird
feeder in the front and

291
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,240
evidently see the one in the
back is away from all the brush

292
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,400
and everything so nothing can
get close to the birds to kill

293
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,120
them.
You know, occasionally you see a

294
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:23,720
big puff of Dow, no, no Dow dove
feathers just out like that.

295
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,560
And that's when my I have a red
tailed hawk that comes in and

296
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,480
kills them.
Well, in the front we now have,

297
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,080
I guess you would call him Sammy
or no Felix.

298
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,760
Felix the fox comes down, runs
around, he runs around the

299
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,520
corner.
He he and they and the what the

300
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,240
birds do is they're underneath
the bird feeder and on the bird

301
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,800
feeder, the ones that are
underneath the bird feeder fly

302
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,160
up to the limbs right into the
close by Bush to hide.

303
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,880
And he comes around the corner
and he doesn't go to the bird

304
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,360
feeder.
He jumps into the Bush.

305
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,840
He knocks them off the limb, he
catches and then he runs away.

306
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,240
I mean, it's just it's it's
like, wow.

307
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,200
And you know, he, he, he, he's
not very particular.

308
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,240
He'll eat a nut to hatch just as
quickly as he'll eat a chicken

309
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:21,080
DDD or a what are the gold ones?
Gold fences I haven't seen.

310
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,760
The yellow on the bottom that
we're talking.

311
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,920
About yeah, it's a a Cardinal or
a Blue Jay 'cause they're

312
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,200
usually up in the feeder and
they don't fly right there, they

313
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,720
fly away 'cause they're, yeah,
I'm stupid, but not that stupid.

314
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,440
No one seems to hit the cross.
Crows are.

315
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,120
They are the most cowardly.
You know, you open the door and

316
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,720
they run away.
All the other birds go like, oh,

317
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,200
it's just Tim.
And then Mr. Fox says, yeah,

318
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,760
it's just Tim.
So they know what I'm going to

319
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,160
do.
And then they come out and they

320
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,720
they eat the little birdie
birds.

321
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,720
That is funny, I have never seen
something attack a crow.

322
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,080
Maybe it's 'cause it's bigger
too, I don't know.

323
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,360
Yeah.
It might be because of it.

324
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,760
Remember I scared them away with
ABB gun and I would shoot it to

325
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,280
the little container there
there's.

326
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,280
There's a.
Baffler made out of melt metal

327
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,880
and they would run up and they
would try to try to and they

328
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,520
couldn't get it.
Well, with a every so often the

329
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,280
the crows, I mean like murderer
of crows would get together and

330
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,880
say, Whoa, we're going to eat
all the fills to it.

331
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,080
So they come down and groups and
just start hitting the suet.

332
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,840
And then I would scare them away
thinking for some reason that

333
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,680
crows don't deserve eat and and
and pretty birds do So and see,

334
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,000
this is society's the same way.
The the the the people don't get

335
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,440
anything and the pretty people
get everything.

336
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,640
So you let the birds eat all
they want, but the ugly crows

337
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,600
don't get crap.
But anyway, the the the point

338
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,560
was is if they land on the
feeder, I was sitting there and

339
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:58,000
I was shooting and my elbow like
that and I pull the trigger.

340
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,440
Oh my God.
Last time I shot ABB gun and

341
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,599
that was 8-9 years ago, maybe 10
that.

342
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:07,760
Was eight years ago.
Right.

343
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,640
I think so.
How did you see him?

344
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,079
Well, you were, I think you were
like 15, so.

345
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,200
I thought I was like 20.
I don't know.

346
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:21,359
You're like 12. 20.
Oh, you could have been 20.

347
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,040
I don't.
Know it was 20.

348
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,359
Time, to me, is sort of like me.
I have no recollection of time

349
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:25,720
either.
I.

350
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,680
Don't know, but I, I, I, I
plugged him and it was so weird

351
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,720
'cause the bird was sitting
there chipping and then he just

352
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,080
like fell.
Right into the heart, yeah.

353
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,280
Did no wings, no out, No.
Yeah, no.

354
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,600
Nothing.
Dead.

355
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,520
Fell to the ground.
I was like, is he faking?

356
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,840
And I'm like, hell, hell of a
fake, you know, I went out

357
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,960
there, wasn't moving.
Then I wrote, I flipped them

358
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,880
over and I saw the hole right
through the and I was like,

359
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,800
damn, amazing shot, but I wasn't
aiming for that.

360
00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:59,680
Anyway, I buried him and then I
didn't do that anymore.

361
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,360
Do you think he was faking when
you buried him?

362
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,720
No, no, he was.
He was dead.

363
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,680
I could have left him there and
you know he.

364
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,080
Didn't check for a pulse or
anything.

365
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,920
Because, because in the in the
springtime, you see animals that

366
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,720
get killed and they get killed
in our yards, you know, in the

367
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,760
yard here.
And I'm in a community where

368
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,040
there's everybody has a little
bit of property.

369
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:25,280
So there's space between them
and there's a lot of animals

370
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,680
that are being crouched on and
all the other neighborhoods come

371
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:33,920
here.
So we had a deer, big buck,

372
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,920
probably 8 point died in my
front yard.

373
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,880
I saw it about four O clock in
the afternoon and it was dead

374
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,000
and it looked like it was hit by
a car or something.

375
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,440
And, you know, it's all a little
bit messed up and not much.

376
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,800
And it's in the afternoon.
I'm like, Oh my God, I got to

377
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,960
deal with this 120 LB thing.
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to deal

378
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,600
with it tomorrow because it was
just getting dark.

379
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,120
I go and go to bed, wake up the
next day, come out.

380
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,520
It's not in the yard anymore.
There's a drag mark across the

381
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,480
yard all the way over to the
pine tree, which is 3040 meters

382
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,960
away.
You know, nearly nearly half a

383
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,840
football field 'cause we don't
use distances.

384
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,280
Brown House.
Yeah.

385
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,120
And was stuck into the bushes
there.

386
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:28,280
And I went over there, head was
gone and he was worked on a lot.

387
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,040
And I was thinking like, what in
the heck Carried something that

388
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,480
weighs as much as probably you
over drug him.

389
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,280
Drug it over through the azaleas
and to the other side by the

390
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,560
underneath the pine tree.
And then later that day you

391
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,680
started seeing vultures.
All the vultures started landing

392
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:55,200
and the tree was full of
vultures just, you know, like 30

393
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:02,120
or 40 and they come down and,
and inside a four days there was

394
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,800
only a few bones left.
All the bones were gone.

395
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,880
Everything was gone.
I don't know where the bones

396
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,000
went.
I didn't look for them, but

397
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,720
there was just like the only
thing left was a rib cage that

398
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,920
was still there.
The head was gone, the legs were

399
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,800
gone.
All the meat was going to was no

400
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,880
more Thing Zero.
There was a little bit of fur.

401
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,640
Fur was kind of everywhere, but
it was just like, I mean, they

402
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,520
totally got rid of it
completely.

403
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,320
Didn't even have to lift a
finger.

404
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,600
Yeah.
And so I was saying to myself,

405
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,480
like, if something dies in the
yard, you know, like somebody, I

406
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,560
know I'm just going to leave
them there and they'll be gone

407
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,960
in three or four days.
Exactly.

408
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,320
And people go for all this.
You got to put them in a VAT of

409
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,400
acid and liquidate them.
You know, if you're a serial

410
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,440
killer, I can give you pointers
on that.

411
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,720
If later in life, you know, you
decide you want to kill people

412
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,480
or whatever, but I mean, just
leave them in the front yard,

413
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:52,440
man.
They'll be gone.

414
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,560
Of course, the the smell really
wasn't that bad.

415
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,160
I'm surprised, you know.
And that's what spring means for

416
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,320
you.
Yeah, dead.

417
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,160
Animals in the yard.
In the yard.

418
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,720
That's it.
I, I've talked about a couple of

419
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,080
those, but no, I think it's sort
of like rejuvenation of life.

420
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,880
It gives you for some reason.
I know it's kind of a horrible

421
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:19,120
time to say this with all the
stuff going over in Gaza and

422
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:23,880
Ukraine and Nigeria and Sudan
and and Venezuela.

423
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,320
The the list is endless of the
horrors that are going on in the

424
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,560
world around us.
But it's like here, it's other

425
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,600
than if you can separate the
political bullshit from it, that

426
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:41,000
it that it's just beautiful and
you know, wow, if you stay off

427
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,520
social media to some degree, you
don't seem to eat all of the

428
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,600
negative stuff, you know, which
is I.

429
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,000
Think you're more talking about
the the natural world, you know?

430
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,040
Yeah, the natural world.
And it's like, it's so it's,

431
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,400
it's sort of like life starts
over again.

432
00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:00,320
You live so adjacent, though.
Humans live so adjacent to it.

433
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,320
We believe that it's something
different and not intertwined

434
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,840
with our own lives, which I
think is interesting.

435
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,120
Yeah, it is funny that we we can
move it away and say, yeah, the

436
00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:09,360
fish are just doing it on their
own.

437
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:11,040
It's like, well, without them
you wouldn't be here.

438
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,840
Without the trees, you wouldn't.
You know, we don't even see

439
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,600
ourselves a part of it at all.
Yeah.

440
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,720
Which is kind of sad in a way
that we live so adjacent and so.

441
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,280
Well, I think that it it really
depends upon your your belief

442
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,120
system, right?
I mean whether or not you.

443
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,400
You, I would say the majority of
people I've, I don't believe

444
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,680
that we're a part of the natural
world.

445
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,720
I really don't feel that way.
Yeah, we, we were sort of

446
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,280
planted in here.
We are.

447
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,080
We are cousins to the
cockroaches or something like

448
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,240
that, you know.
But even then, you'd be

449
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,400
affiliated with the YEAH.
You're right.

450
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,840
You're right.
So, so true.

451
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,520
We're the aliens.
We're in charge.

452
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,640
That's it.
They're everything here is for

453
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,680
our.
More in charge or is something

454
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,880
that that everybody believes.
You can't say somebody in New

455
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,760
York believes that they're part
of this this system.

456
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,240
Yeah.
No, no, it's also like what?

457
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,240
In an urban area.
I'd imagine that farmers

458
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,200
probably feel it more.
Way more.

459
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,560
Seeing it and the, and you know,
when you, when you put seeds in

460
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,960
the ground on a, on a, on a
completely like fresh thing and

461
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,720
then all of a sudden, you know,
2 weeks later you got corn

462
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,560
stalks popping up or whatever
the hell you plant that, that

463
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:24,120
that rejuvenation of life is
just like for me, it's a thing.

464
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,160
It, it just, it makes me more
alive.

465
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,320
It makes me more jumpy.
It makes me, my days are longer

466
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:36,080
because I want to be alive to
see it, you know, and I also

467
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,480
happen to be a, what do you call
it, a connoisseur of color, you

468
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,480
know, bright color.
Yeah.

469
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:48,400
Well, I don't like, I, I mean,
I, I think Ivy and and paxandra

470
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,000
and all that crap that's green
that covers the ground.

471
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,600
It's pretty and everything.
But, you know, I have green

472
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,040
counter that blooms a white
little flower.

473
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,160
I don't know what the hell it's
called.

474
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,920
And then I have witch hunt or
witch tail, which is in the

475
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,400
front.
That's the one that all has the

476
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,720
big white flowery things that
are in bushes and they come up

477
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,200
and they smell like Uzo, which I
mean, it's licorice, but I say

478
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,560
Uzo because or what is the other
one?

479
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,400
Sambuca.
You go out there and it's like,

480
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,040
oh God, I remember the last time
I got hammered on Sambuca.

481
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,960
I don't.
I never have and I never will.

482
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,720
It's so gross.
It's a.

483
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:23,920
It's a.
It's a.

484
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,640
It's a story.
I don't even like the the taste

485
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,560
of a knee at all.
Black licorice to me it's just I

486
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,720
don't like the.
I'm OK with the ankles, but

487
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,760
knees are just there's no one on
them.

488
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,360
No, none.
None at all.

489
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,200
No knuckle bone.
You ever do chicken feet?

490
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,040
You ever do a chicken front?
No, but I do do.

491
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,280
Not my favorite.
Hamster.

492
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,400
No, no Guinea pig, Felipe, you
have to eat the Guinea pig and

493
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,480
got on its back splayed open
like this.

494
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,920
You know when you eat something
with his mouth open and the

495
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,960
teeth are looking back at you,
you're like, that's what the

496
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,400
crunching sounds like you.
Did the goat head soup too

497
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,000
right?
We did the goat head.

498
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,760
We did not even do the soap.
We had the head of the goat.

499
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,520
No soup.
You had to do no soup.

500
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,960
It was just a hand.
City.

501
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,880
No, no, no.
You got to eat the head.

502
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:19,280
So we and it's cooked in the
ground and we're in Morocco and

503
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,480
in Morocco.
What the hell was it?

504
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,480
What the Hell's the city?
Marrakech.

505
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,960
Yeah, Marrakech.
That's where we went.

506
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,800
We sat and they cooked it under
the ground, pull it out.

507
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:34,400
They put the head on a plate and
Gem and I ate the head and I

508
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,320
mean it was, it's got so much
cumin on it that it was like.

509
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,840
Any eyeball?
No, no, I didn't do that.

510
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,920
They offered.
They offered some of the weird

511
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,200
stuff and I was just like, no,
no, they and Jim was I, I don't

512
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,600
think he didn't eat the eyeball
either, but we ate that and

513
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,920
there's a lot of people eat,
There's a lot of people eating

514
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,480
the head there, you know, so it
was.

515
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,160
Well, that's a big thing.
The the head and the soup is the

516
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,160
biggest thing.
I thought.

517
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,080
Yeah.
I I would imagine soup would

518
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,480
have been much better than the
head because the head was

519
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,600
nothing but.
At least in a broth of some

520
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,040
sort, right?
It was dark meat, that's all it

521
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,080
was, you know, dark meat.
And I love dark meat.

522
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,240
So I think everybody does.
Well, a lot of people like when

523
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,240
they eat chicken.
When they eat chicken, they want

524
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,000
to eat the breast and.
All that and.

525
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,640
See, I am.
I want to eat the wings, the

526
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,640
legs, the the the pieces.
You know, I want to be happy.

527
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,920
I don't want to be.
I don't want to be health

528
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,760
conscious.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.

529
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,200
I don't understand that.
I don't get the the white meat

530
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,160
over the dark meat thing.
I don't even think calorically

531
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,960
it's that big of a difference
either.

532
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,600
I can't imagine that it's that
it's night and day and caloric

533
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,000
value.
I wonder, I wonder if there's

534
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,360
like more vitamins or the, you
know, there's more poop in the

535
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,440
brown meat than there is in the
clear meat or something.

536
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,440
I, I have no idea.
Well, like, I mean, you know, I

537
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,560
mean, you eat catfish.
It's a, it's a bottom feeder.

538
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,960
It lives off the poop and you're
eating reconstituted poop meat,

539
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,280
you know, so.
Well, it's like a a pig as well.

540
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,720
Pig is the same thing.
You know, pigs eat like all

541
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,080
sorts of stuff that makes them
happy.

542
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,160
That makes I mean, I love being
an animal that's happy.

543
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,000
You know, I don't want to eat a
sad animal.

544
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:13,960
That's just no fun.
The.

545
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,960
Veal tastes great.
That's a really sad animal.

546
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,960
God, I I just can't.
So it's really good.

547
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:24,560
I haven't eaten in years though.
But it's also like my decision

548
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,360
making is not going to impact
that world at all.

549
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,040
I don't see the reason now.
One man looks like the same

550
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,840
thing with recycling and how 85%
of the stuff you recycle goes in

551
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,640
the dump anyway so I don't
really.

552
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,680
Well, true, but you also have to
say to yourself, the other side

553
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,960
of that is that one man can
change the world if he has, if

554
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,840
he continues with his voice to
have other people follow what he

555
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,760
doesn't say.
If you do it, you're right.

556
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,600
If a few do it as opposed to
none, there's a.

557
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,960
There's a difference there.
Right And you come to a group

558
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,160
and it's the same thing like I
mean technically you would say

559
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,800
this the same thing in voting in
the election.

560
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,720
I don't my vote won't count.
It's only one.

561
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:07,560
Well, yeah, but if if you
permeate that attitude to all of

562
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,200
your immediate surrounding and
then they permeate it to their

563
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,400
surrounding and they then you've
got thousands of people that are

564
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,560
like, screw it, my vote doesn't
count.

565
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,800
I'm not going to vote.
So it's like then absolutely

566
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,040
it's not it's not going to work.
I think the.

567
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,680
Recycling thing, though, is more
that I want the government to

568
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,480
hold Big Coal accountable for
the lack of reports on coal

569
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,400
scrubbers and coal plants that
are way more responsible for

570
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:32,960
greenhouse commissions than I
am.

571
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,760
And why am I being held
accountable as a single person

572
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,160
more so than an entire industry?
And that is, that's a little

573
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,120
let.
Me fly my private jet over to

574
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,960
your house and tell you why
you're bad.

575
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,360
Exactly.
Yeah, it's, well, I also think

576
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,640
that when I was growing up, the
food pyramid was a big thing,

577
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,600
and the food pyramid was
endorsed by Big AG to make it

578
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,160
look as if grain and milk was
the most important thing that

579
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,800
you should eat always.
And that's when I was growing up

580
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,080
as well.
When I got into high school,

581
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,080
they told us the recycling was
one of the most important

582
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,680
things, which was probably also
propagated by Big Coal.

583
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,040
So we see like this continuation
in education that these these

584
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,120
these systems just continue to
endorse education that's telling

585
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,880
you that they're not the wrong
guys.

586
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,160
They're not the bad guys.
Well, they're they're they're

587
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,680
they're paying the politicians
who are making the laws that are

588
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,960
then enacted by the FDA.
The what?

589
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,040
What is it that's expect your
meat, USDA, all of those.

590
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:37,120
Now remember that, that there
are truly shitty laws and bad

591
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,080
things like that that happened.
But there's also there is good

592
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,240
that comes out of that.
There's there's lots of good

593
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,760
that comes out of that.
So you you basically have to, I

594
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:52,400
would hope, eat the teaspoon or
tablespoon of poop so that you

595
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,960
can get the pint of ice cream.
In regards to what though, what

596
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:57,960
are you?
Well when you when you look at

597
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,080
society as a whole, I mean it's
like when people look at the

598
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,400
government, the government
sucks.

599
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,240
I hate them and the the reason
they hate them is because of 1

600
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,800
little aspect or one.
Little Oh, OK, yeah, no, I see

601
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,000
what you're talking about.
You know, we, we all have

602
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:14,360
health, You know, to some degree
the poor people are, are

603
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,840
somewhat taken care of, not not
in a great way, but in some ways

604
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,360
we, we do, we do look towards
them.

605
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,200
The society as a whole.
We make roads across the

606
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,680
country.
We don't, you know, our roads

607
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,680
line up with the roads and all
the opposing states are all the

608
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,000
not opposing, but adjacent
states.

609
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,240
So I mean, those are the things
that you don't think about that

610
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,000
the government does to make sure
that, you know, we all have

611
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,040
power from we don't, we usually
don't have, I mean, in Virginia,

612
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,720
we don't have rolling power
outages.

613
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,200
I know they do in Texas now
because they've privatized it,

614
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:48,760
because.
They have.

615
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,320
Yeah, that's one of the reasons
that they're having so many

616
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,160
problems is because what you do
when you privatize is you cut

617
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,480
down the number of plants that
you have because then you can

618
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,080
make more money and you don't.
The, the, the, the public system

619
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:06,560
is we have to build a factory a,
a power plant that at the worst

620
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:12,280
possible time it will work.
Whereas in a private sector you

621
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,200
don't care about that.
You want to, you want to minimum

622
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,600
size, the size and scope of the
power that you offer.

623
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,360
And you will tell the people
that, no, don't use it when it's

624
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,480
85° outside.
Cut it down and you're like,

625
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,840
we'll, we'll, that's, that's not
what the public side would do.

626
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,280
That that's what somebody's
trying to make money would do.

627
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,720
They would try to maximize their
profits by not having as many

628
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,280
plants, by not having as much
power, because you know, you got

629
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,280
to, you got to pay, you got to
prepare for the spikes, you

630
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,280
know, have they ever?
Privatized the library.

631
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,080
I'm going to lose my mind.
They, they voice now they're,

632
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,360
you know, the oversight and
banning the books and all that

633
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,160
kind of stuff like that is just
disgusting.

634
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,560
You know that that to me is that
that's just a disgusting.

635
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,040
That's specifically in Florida
if I remember correctly.

636
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,320
No, no, no, they're no like 20.
Alabama states 28.

637
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,040
It's that high enough?
Yeah, I need to get caught up in

638
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,080
my.
Mothers Against Intelligence, I

639
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,640
think it is is out there trying
to.

640
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,440
Well, that was the whole thing
with Mothers Against Drunk

641
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,600
Driving.
When that first started coming

642
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,240
along and you looked at people
that died in drunk driving

643
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,360
accidents, ages, what was it, 16
to 21?

644
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,720
And then what happened was when
they pushed it to 21 to buy

645
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,920
alcohol, the deaths just went
from 21 to 25.

646
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,480
It was just.
It was.

647
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,200
Just what they did is they moved
the skew.

648
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:33,640
They moved it from here to here.
Yeah, they did nothing.

649
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,080
They did nothing in reality.
They just, they just moved them

650
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,560
because then people weren't
more.

651
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,640
They didn't get used to it.
And I think that that abstinence

652
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,760
and punishment has never worked
in our society for anything.

653
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,600
Oh no, it just doesn't, you
know?

654
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,440
When people say you can't have
sex before marriage or you can't

655
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,240
have sex before you're 20 or you
can't have or you're not allowed

656
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,560
to drink alcohol.
I mean, I was drinking alcohol

657
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,680
when I was 6, So I don't you
know, and and we were not

658
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,960
allowed to, we're not allowed to
smoke either.

659
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,440
I remember the first time I
smoked was like I vomited.

660
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,520
It was just ugly.
But you know, here took a hit

661
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,560
and I was like 8 and I just you
know, because I didn't you look

662
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,400
at me inhale, but you shouldn't
inhale.

663
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,280
And I'm like, I like I know how
to smoke a Winston when I'm 8

664
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,440
years old.
Do I mean that was in front of

665
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,480
all places, the boys club.
I remember that that was that

666
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,760
was a memorable thing.
Smoke That's that's another

667
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,000
that's going to be a quote on
the on AT shirt.

668
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,600
You know how to smoke a
Wednesday.

669
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,280
When I'm 8.
Years, Oh man, I just, I, I

670
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,800
booted, I booted and I, I turned
like a different shade of color

671
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,800
and Oh yeah and it was like.
And it was not just one of

672
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:48,760
those, it was one huge Harry
from the bottom of my guts.

673
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,120
I pulled everything out that I
had and I put it on this guy's

674
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:56,040
shoes and he was upset.
Yeah, I thought I would be as

675
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,960
well.
God, I can see his face.

676
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,200
I want to say damn, 'cause his
brother smoked.

677
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,480
His brother was my age too, but
he smoked like a lot.

678
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,480
And you're thinking like, and he
and he used to brag about his

679
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:10,239
Kitty.
Yeah, look at him.

680
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,360
He's 8 years old.
He smokes 1/2 pack a day and I'm

681
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,199
like and that was something to
achieve.

682
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,400
Bragging right?
Well, that's like when people

683
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,159
always say we have like a war on
sleep in this country.

684
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:23,040
We're like, oh, I only got 2
hours of sleep last night and

685
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,320
I'm like, you're supposed to be
proud of that.

686
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,719
You're proud of that, but you
only got 2 hours.

687
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,880
Well, oh wow, we're we're almost
out of time here.

688
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,080
Oh wow, so you work 90 hours a
week so I can take the whole day

689
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,159

690
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,840
