Ever set out for a simple morning walk only to find yourself deep in reflection about the curiosities of life? That's exactly what unfolded during my serene stroll around a southeast Georgia lake, and I've brought the entire experience to your ears. Lacing up for a five-mile trek, I muse on the underrated connection between physical activity and mental clarity. From the rhythmic strides alongside chirping birdlife to a comical debate with myself about the latest fitness fads, this episode is a blend of whimsy and wisdom, seasoned with the therapeutic backdrop of nature.
Who knew that a lakeside path could be a runway for the most intriguing of human and wildlife interactions? Prepare to chuckle as I narrate my encounter with an animated pair of geese and their flappy bravado, right before I share a perplexing moment with a plate carrier-wearing passerby, minus the plates. Plus, you'll be privy to my spontaneous research on the legitimacy of a catchy tune from "The Rookie," and indulge in light-hearted banter about the sleeping habits of ducks. It's the simple observations that often hold the most delight, and this episode is brimming with them.
As we wrap up our shared journey, I confess the physical toll of our miles walked together and the unexpected camaraderie I've felt with you, my listener, every step of the way. Ending on a high note with plans for "new boot goofing," I invite you to take a break from the rush of life and find solace in your own version of a lakeside walk—because sometimes, the best way to step forward is with a leisurely stroll. Join me on this auditory adventure where every step is a story, and every encounter is an invitation to laugh and ponder.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Team 1, stand by Copy .
Team 1, standing by Breachbreach breach.
Alright, so I hadn't posted ina while and I figured to try to
get back into it.
We're going to do something alittle different Today.
I'm going to bring you alongfor one of my workouts.
(00:21):
It's not one of my usualworkouts workouts because I'm
usually in the gym.
Today it's really somethingrather easy.
Well, it should be easy, butwe're going to go for a little
walk around a lake nearby andjust kind of get some movement.
We're going to try to knock outfive miles, so we'll see how
that goes.
I've got the old beats in andit'll be a little sporadic.
(00:46):
There's no like specific topicwe're going to talk about, but
just kind of some randomconversation, and I don't really
like talking to my phone inpublic because people look at
you weird and I look at peopleweird when they do it.
But that's what we're going todo.
So it'll uh just be that somerandom conversations, probably
(01:10):
some stupid moments that happen,whatever, and uh we'll just be
popping in.
I won't be recording the entiretime, cause I'm not going to
bore you with however long ittakes me to knock out five miles
.
That's what we're doing today,so see you in a few.
By the way, this is southeastgeorgia.
It's 7 32 in the morning, with87 humidity and 64 degrees.
(01:36):
I'll have a few miles from hereand the condensation is still
very heavy on the windows, sothere shall be some perspiration
.
Yeah, 87% humidity at 730 inthe morning.
God, I love the south.
(01:57):
All right, so we have started.
We've got the old Fitbit syncedup and it's gonna help us keep
track of our distance and, yeah,we're gonna see how this goes.
You know, and all of our talksabout mental health and stuff
(02:21):
like that I don't know that I'veever really talked about the
importance of finding somethingto do.
That thing is urgent.
Hold on, let me fix that,that's better.
So I don't know that we've evertalked about it, about how
(02:45):
important it is to findsomething to do with your time
and how physical fitness canactually play a big role in that
and your mental health.
Um, you know, there's nothingmore or nothing worse, at least
for me to have my mind weigheddown with a bunch of stuff and
(03:09):
literally just be sitting arounddoing nothing and get lost in
those thoughts.
Like it's horrible.
It's almost like torturingyourself over and over again
because all you do is sit andthink about whatever it is
that's got you overwhelmed.
So I try to keep myselfoccupied with other things.
(03:36):
Not so I don't think aboutthings or I don't get
overwhelmed, but often enoughthe mere act of doing things
allows me to release thosestress levels.
You know, I still deal withthings and stuff like that, but
it's in a more healthy mannerand I'm not sitting around just
(03:57):
kind of dwelling on it, andthat's kind of what physical
fitness helps with as well.
It's like today, you know, I'vebeen to Stradivarius.
It's five miles.
I've got a feeling that my feetare going to be killing me, but
it's five miles, it's abeautiful day, the weather is
(04:17):
great, other than my little bitsof OCD seeing people walk
different directions on thetrack.
Yeah, it's going to be good.
You know my little bits of OCDseeing people walk different
directions on the track.
Yeah, it's going to be good.
You know I'm not really weigheddown by anything right now, but
it's still a stress relief andyeah, so I'm here for it.
So, if nothing else, findsomething to do.
(04:39):
A hobby, a side hustle physicalfitness, that's a good one, but
find something to do, see howthat works out for you.
So I've tried to record twoseparate times now and have
stopped, mainly because there'speople coming and I don't want
(05:01):
to look like I've lost my mindwalking around talking to my
phone Though in today's time Iguess it's kind of irrelevant
with Bluetooth and all thisother good crap but either way,
I've stopped recording twice.
And then, on top of that, Ialso realized that it wasn't my
(05:24):
camera that was dirty, it wasthe rest of the screen that was
all smudgy.
So when I was trying to cleanthe camera, the camera wasn't
the problem, it was blurrybecause the screen was smudgy.
So I fixed that.
And there's some guy who's got agood boy and I'm going to have
to stop because here come somejoggers.
(05:45):
Be right in a minute.
Oh, look at me, I jog.
Yeah well, I'm fat, I'm old.
In all honesty, that guy lookedolder than me, much more fit.
He's jogging.
That's pathetic.
(06:05):
I'm walking.
Hang that train's loud.
Anyway.
There's a guy who's got a goodboy.
He's walking around.
I don't know what kind of dogit is, because I'm not a kind of
person, but what kind of dog?
It's a a large breed dog.
Hello ducks.
It's a large breed dog withlike curly hair, like the whole
(06:29):
dog is just this big curl.
Either way, he ain't dirtybecause he keeps going down to
the lake.
Oh, there's a turtle, turtleAnyway, um, yeah, so, anyway,
yeah, so just walking aroundsaying good morning to people
(06:50):
Morning.
So there's an older gentlemanout here today.
He appears to have either hadsomething happen to him or maybe
he was born with it, but itlooks like his style of walking
or his gait is much differentthan everybody out here, almost
(07:12):
like he has to force his legs todo it.
This man is straight getting itaround here Like he's walking,
but it's like his form of powerwalking and he has straight
getting it much older than me.
That's inspirational, like tosee him out here pushing himself
(07:35):
like that.
The fact that I'm coming up withexcuses like the insole in my
right tennis shoe is separatedand it makes it uncomfortable to
walk Maybe I shouldn't do fivemiles Makes all that stuff seem
stupid.
Honestly, it is.
That's odd.
Just a random sweatshirtsitting there and now, because
(08:00):
of what I did, I'm lookingaround for a person to go get it
.
Because of what I did, I'mlooking around for a person to
go get it.
They're on them, but they're aduck.
Where is the person?
It's the ducks.
The ducks did it.
I see you, mallard, what's up?
Yeah, yeah, where's the guy?
(08:20):
The person?
Nah, no, no, no, all right, Igot gotta make this one quick.
There's people coming, so Ireview these little clips while
I'm walking.
It's entertaining.
But I review them after I getthem, recording them, just to
see if they're worth keeping,because, let's be honest, I'll
(08:41):
edit on the fly.
And where was I going with thatCrap?
Where was I going with that?
Yeah, I'll come back when Iremember.
(09:02):
Oh, yeah, that's right, Iforgot, um, I had to go back and
watch the last one, um, so Iwas reviewing the one where, you
know, the ducks were likecoming to me.
I don't know if they're tryingto attack me or if they thought
I had bread, but she's gettingreally close, um.
So I don't know if they'retrying to attack me or get bread
, doesn't matter, they werecoming after me.
(09:23):
I was about it.
We thought I won anyway.
So I was reviewing the video andthe cars driving by.
This, mike, apparently, isreally good.
So I'm reviewing it and I'm ona part of the lake now where I'm
away from the traffic, and yetit sounds like cars are driving
by me.
I had to stop myself and lookaround because I thought there
was a car near me.
Stupid me forgot that I wasactually recording that.
(09:45):
All right, she's getting close.
I'll be back in a minute.
So yeah, I was just reviewingthat last little clip and if you
back up the video and youlisten, you're going to hear
like a clop, like clop, clop,clop.
I don't know what it was atfirst and I realized that that
(10:07):
is my footsteps.
This microphone apparently isso good that it's picking up my
footsteps from my tennis shoesand my concrete.
And now all I can think is itsounds like I'm wearing
hard-soled shoes, like somethingwith a hard heel.
And now my brain goes hey, yousound like a horse walking down
(10:30):
the road.
Now I'm thinking it's likeclippity-clop, clippity-clop,
clippity-clop, and it makes mewonder can other people hear it?
Like when I walk by them?
Do they hear clop, clop, clopas the old fat guy walks by?
I don't know.
I also don't know where the guywith the dog went.
The dog with the like permanentperm, I don't know where he
(10:52):
went.
And the old man who's walking alittle different, he is still
getting it.
The look on his face says he'swearing down, but this track is
roughly about a mile and Ipassed him three times.
I think three times, yeah.
(11:13):
So I know he's done at least amile and a half because we meet
like on, even on other ends.
So I know he's done at least amile and a half, even on other
ends.
So I know he's done at least amile and a half.
He's still getting it.
And I'm over here with a heartrate of well now I don't know.
Hold on, I need your help.
(11:36):
We've gone a little over a mileand a quarter.
Heart rate's about 106.
And you're seeing, I've got a19-minute mile mile pace.
Is that good?
Like I don't know.
I hear other people I can run amile and a half in seven minutes
.
That sounds fast to me, likedriving.
(11:57):
I'm like, oh look, I went amile in less than a minute.
So saying like you went a mile,mile and a half, seven minutes
seems like a lot.
I don't know that.
I've ever run a seven minutemile.
I think the best was like ninesomething.
I'm not a runner.
I think I almost died.
(12:18):
It's like an out of bodyexperience, like I didn't want
to be in my body because Ididn't like it and they didn't
like me, something like that.
I don't really remember.
Anyway, we'll be back, alright,this is weird.
So, like, where'd everybody go?
(12:39):
Like there was a couple olderguys walking together.
There was the old guy with thedifferent walk, there was this
jogger, these other two joggers,and I'll see them now.
Like I looked down at my phoneand now I'm up and now they're
(12:59):
not here.
Oh wait, nevermind, there's thejogger, I'll be back, okay.
So two quick things.
One really not sure if thepeople that just walked by me
were referring to me or not,mainly because I haven't got
earbuds in, I can't really hearmuch.
(13:20):
But as they were coming by,because I was waiting to press
record for a different reason,as they were coming by, I could
hear them talking because therewas no sound, at least coming
through the earbuds.
There's obviously soundeverywhere else, but there was
no sound and I could hear themtalking.
And just as they passed me, Ihear something said.
(13:42):
I couldn't really make out whatwas being said.
Then I hear what's up, bro,that's where me, I don't know.
Like that side of me, that'slike self-conscious, thinks you
were referring to me, likeyou're looking at me like hey,
if that's the case, like why areyou judging, bro?
(14:03):
I'll know you.
Secondly, does anybody know thisis not a commercial free fare?
What are y'all doing?
(14:23):
There's no rock plant over here, okay, anyway, does anybody
know what the flowers on top oflily pads are called Like?
Do they have a different nameor is it just like oh, it's a
lily pad?
Kind of think through this.
(14:47):
I'm not talking about like anerdy scientific name.
I'm talking about like does ithave an actual name?
Or is it called a lily?
Because I know there is a lily,like all kind of a lilies.
Yeah, I see another lot.
There's all kind of lilies, butthese are flowers on top of
lily pads.
I've said lily too much.
It sounds funny now.
(15:08):
So, like, what's the name forthem?
And I only brought that upbecause, the way my brain's one
is, there's a lock on there,anyway.
So I was about ready to recordand I stopped because there was
these two kayakers that have nowentered the game and they're
like paddling down the lake.
(15:29):
That's all fine and good.
Like the whole bank, all theway around the lake is covered
in lily pads.
This is not that place.
Why are there locks on thefence?
It's like random locks, likethis isn't that place.
It's like, oh, this is ourlittle wish.
Like nobody comes to our place,and it's like, oh, we're gonna
do a wish here.
There's nothing magical aboutthis other than like scenery.
(15:53):
I don't know, anyway, what was Italking about?
Oh, so they're paddling aroundand I was getting ready to
record, but I didn't becausepeople and I uh, oh great,
somebody else close but I didn't, because people and I was like,
all right, well, they'll passsoon.
Because they're paddling, loand behold, they turned the
(16:16):
kayaks so they could look at thelily pads, like, as they're
getting close to me and I'mwanting to record, well, you
want round two.
Duck, what's up?
What's up, bro, okay, anyway.
So, yeah, just weird, reallyweird.
(16:37):
Maybe I'm just weird, I don'tknow.
All right, well, it's happened.
I've now been looked at likethe weird guy because the other
person and I was like, look morepeople.
Um, yeah, she's apparently afast walker and as I looked at
the ducks, it was like talkingabout round two with the ducks.
(16:58):
She apparently had alreadycrossed the road from the
parking lot to the littlepavilion and was within earshot
of me talking crap to some ducks.
Like I have right to Because,like I won Apex, but like she's
seeing me talk crap to theseducks, like I don't know her,
(17:21):
she don't know me, but now she'son this course with me and now
when, thankfully, she's goingthe other way hope she's not a
jogger I'll see her faster thannow.
When I see her, she'd be likeoh look, there's the weirdo that
talks to ducks, which is funny,because there's a duck out here
who and I'm not speaking ill ofthe duck for any of y'all to
(17:43):
get upset about it but thisduck's face literally looks like
he was bobbing for apples andhot fry grease, like all around
his face it's just bubbly, and Ithink it's supposed to look
that way because there's anotherone on the other side of the
lake that looks identical, atleast identical to me.
Like I'm not trying to be thatguy, I'd be like y'all look the
(18:03):
same, but like they do, theylook the same there.
Yeah, we're not going there.
Nope, nope, not me, alright.
So update we are about two anda quarter miles in and heart
rate's up to about 112.
Pace has improved.
It's like 1830 something.
(18:25):
Not looking again, though for aminute my Fitbit quit picking
up heartbeat, so I'm not sure ifthere's like a connection issue
, or maybe I just died there fora minute, but either way,
that's the update on that.
Also, kayakers, yeah yeah, Ijust I don't get it.
(18:50):
Like why, just right there,like 10 feet off the bank,
staring at lily pads?
It's like they look the same.
Like that lily pad's a littleyellow, that one's more green,
that one's got a flower, oh,look one that's more yellow,
that one's a little brown.
(19:11):
They look the same.
And you've done it since youentered the lake.
I don't get it.
Like it's a competitive side ofme.
Like if I'm in this lake in akayak with someone else in a
(19:32):
kayak, like we might start outall nice and everything, but
eventually I'm going to splashyou with someone else in a kayak
.
Like we might start out allnice and everything, but
eventually I'm gonna splash you.
We are going to be racingacross this lake.
Like, if you participate or not, like I will still try to
outrun you because it's notactual running, I'm going to
splash you.
And if that means, oh, she'sgoing the same way as me and she
(19:57):
is a jogger, this is happening,maybe the swans will get her,
then she'll know I was talkingshit, I'll be back.
She's a runner, she's a trackstar, not really Like.
She should have passed me waybefore she did, but she's either
(20:18):
doing hit training or she's notlike a long distance runner.
Because she wasn't that farbehind me.
I just happened to check behindme and see her.
She was jogging here.
(20:44):
She was jogging, so I stoppedand walked.
She hadn't showed up.
I'm like checking again because, like for all I know, she sees
the weird guy talking to ducksand now she's plotting.
So I got to be like what youdoing when you at, not today?
Um, but then she comes past meand she's jogging and she gets
(21:06):
maybe 20 yards ahead of me andshe starts walking.
And she was only about 30 yardsbehind me when I first noticed
her and she was jogging.
So now she's walking again.
Like I can get behind that.
I can get behind that workout.
Like I'm not going to last aslong as she do, but I can jog
(21:29):
for a little bit and then walk alot and then jog a little bit
and then walk a lot more, andthat's what I've been doing
Somewhere along here.
By the way, there's an egg.
I don't know if it's a duck eggor goose egg.
Definitely ain't no chicken egg.
Have anybody else out thereever had duck or goose eggs and
(21:52):
are they tasty, like, do theytaste like chicken eggs?
Because they're all birds, theylay eggs and I'm wondering if
the duck egg or goose egg that'sa pacifier, some little baby's
walking around without theirbinky.
But I'm wondering if all theseeggs taste the same or if
(22:14):
they're different.
Like I'm sure you all have seenhow big an ostrich egg is.
That thing's massive.
It's like sugar's running again, yeah, I'm not doing that, but
an ostrich egg, it's like one ofthose mini pumpkins.
That thing's huge.
I really want to try one, butat the same time, like I really
(22:35):
don't, because I look at anostrich and I have some big-ass
eyes.
But at the same time, like Ireally don't, because I look at
an ostrich and I have somebig-ass eyes.
But anyway, what was I talkingabout Before the eggs?
No, I don't know.
Figure it out in a minute, Iguess.
Is there a baton in your pocket?
Are you just happy to see me?
(23:01):
That's a song going through myhead right now.
Sounds a little weird, I'm sure, and I ain't no singer.
However, it's a catchy littletune If any of you have ever
watched the show the Rookie,which completely, just not even
remotely close to reality.
But it's an entertaining show.
(23:23):
The acting is great.
I really enjoy it.
But there's a scene in therewhere the officer and his
trainee go to this house, orsomething, at least I think the
first time they come across themit's you know they're there for
a different reason.
There's this garage bandsitting there and all of a
sudden, out of nowhere, thegarage band starts up and you
(23:46):
hear the lead singer you knowtalking about is that a baton in
your pocket?
Are you just happy to see me?
Anyway, it's a fun little songand kind of stuck on my head.
Well, a season or two laterthey get sent to a noise
complaint and they get out andit's all quiet.
He's like maybe we missed it.
(24:08):
All of a sudden, out of nowhere, he hears the guitar band start
up, or the garage band start upagain, and the song starts
again.
But this time they've addedlike this little choir that
comes out of the house singing,some lady pops out of a van
playing a guitar getting herlittle guitar riff in, and it's
(24:28):
interesting, it's funny.
So I got to thinking about itthe other day and I actually
went to YouTube to see if it wasan actual song.
It does actually, you know,have like a an artist for it,
like, but was it a song beforethe show or did they create it
specifically for the show?
Either way, it's a fun littlesong.
(24:51):
It's called daddy cop.
It's funny and that's like onmy head and repeat right now.
So get a chance, go to youtube,look up daddy cop, because it's
actually a fun little song andit's on my head and repeat right
now.
And I think I'm gonna go listento it because I I recorded it.
(25:13):
So I'm gonna listen to it andmaybe I'll think about something
else to say why do ducks sleepwith their faces under their
wings, like they're not evencovering their eyes, so it's not
like they're trying to sleepand all that Like one?
(25:34):
It would be uncomfortable forme because I don't have like the
whole snakey neck.
But like what if you had like abad bo day, like you got some
body funk going on or some bodyodor build up for ducks, don't?
They don't bathe like us, likethey're not using an old spice
like me, um, but like they'rejust breathing in like their own
(25:57):
essence while they sleep.
That doesn't sound veryattractive to me.
It doesn't sound veryattractive at all.
Oh, there's the geese.
The geese look like they gotpants that are sagging.
What's up, bro?
You missed leg day sayingAlright.
So we are over halfway.
(26:21):
We are about three and a quartermiles into our little trip and
it dawned on me that days liketoday, when you're out, you're
doing something that I guess youenjoy, when you're out, you're
doing something that I guess youenjoy.
It's a beautiful day, lowstress, it's a good time for
(26:49):
reflection, and just before,maybe a minute or so before I
hit record, I too was reflecting, and what I was reflecting on
was the fact that, like rightnow, there is some friction in
the nether regions, but I can'treally explain and I don't know
(27:12):
if it's because a box ofs areridden up or if it's from my
workout pants, I don't know.
I'm reflecting on that rightnow and I'm thinking what could
I have done to prevent this?
Like the obvious answer it'sabout, like talking to gym rats
(27:32):
like they go oh well, you knowhow do you not pull a muscle?
Uh, doing a leg workout?
It's like, oh, do chest or doarms?
Like the obvious answer is likedon't walk.
Like don't try to walk fivemiles and your thighs won't be
hot enough to make some pancakesor some flapjacks and that
(27:53):
sounds really good right now.
But all those carbs might bebad, but the thought of them and
the syrup were delicious.
By the way, one of those gooses,like I thought I think he
wanted to smoke, like as I comeby, you know, stuck his head up,
had his little beak out andeverything.
(28:14):
Like I don't think he knows hedon't got teeth and I'll throw
hands like that beak, you mightpinch me, but like, bro, I'm
coming back with some fire and Igot some pretty strong legs.
We can turn that little snakeneck into a pool noodle real
quick, I'm just saying.
But like he stuck his head upand like he started talking
(28:38):
smack and then the goose thatwas with him started, started
talking smack, like I don't knowwhat they were saying because I
don't speak goose.
If any of y'all do, maybe I'llrecord it.
Y'all can tell me what he wassaying.
But like I felt like it wasn'tgood, like he was like sitting
there challenging, like come on,bro, like let's do this goose
style.
I don't think this style goosestyle.
(28:58):
It's like Gustav, so like thesame but different.
I don't know.
Anyway, all right, get back atit.
The kayakers have finished theirjourney.
They have slowly in like thelongest kayak event ever finally
(29:20):
made it around the lake andhave decided to call it quits.
After like three quarters of alap, they've just drug the
kayaks back up their little tinyboat ramp.
That's their calling it quits.
Kudos, kudos, beautiful seeingyou folks here today.
I stand corrected.
(29:42):
The female of the group hasapparently decided to take a
walk.
Either that or she needs to usethe restroom, because the boat
ramp is on the opposite side ofwhere the bathrooms are.
And uh, so I'm now running fromher and I've got someone in
front of me.
So I'm stuck between a rock anda hard place and somewhere.
(30:05):
I don't know where she is.
Oh, there, she is coming aroundthe corner, the jogger's coming
and I've got the geese I'mcoming up to next.
So, like I got the geese, I'mcoming up to next.
So like I want to record when Igo by these geese, because I
feel like one's going to temptme.
He's going to try me, like Ifeel it.
And if he goes after the lady,I know it's nothing personal
(30:27):
against me, that's just the lifehe lives.
But oh man, she peeled off, soI got to find this out myself.
So I don't know.
Okay, the jogger stopped and thekayaker is not as fast as me,
which means I'm going to recordthrough this whole process of
(30:51):
walking past these geese, likeI'm trying to respect nature.
You don't understand.
I'm trying to respect thesegeese that are doing goose
things, but so I'm trying torespect nature, you don't
understand.
I'm trying to respect thesegeese.
They're out here doing goosethings, so I'm going to give him
a little wide berth, but oh,there he goes.
He's raising that head already.
Like put both feet down, don't?
Oh, you're the one that wantsto smoke, huh, yeah, let me show
(31:14):
you what he's doing.
Look at him.
I'm going.
I can't even do nothing.
He's just trying to get smokefor no reason, like if there
weren't people around me andthat goose might have just had
(31:37):
it out.
Like I had to put the phonedown.
I see catching both hands,grabbing by the head.
Is she wearing a visor or anoculus?
Like if you're out here walkingaround the lake wearing an
oculus, like that's og, likethat's that's taking it to a
next level.
You've gone beyond 4D.
Nope, it's just my eyes.
(32:00):
It's a baseball cap, it's justwhite.
Are we done yet?
Alright, we are four miles inand starting to fiddle a little
bit.
Feet are heating up and I knowthat my briefs have not crept up
(32:26):
.
It feels like it, like it'sgood and warm there.
There's some friction and mypace has slowed down.
I can tell that we're at about19.45 a mile now and, yeah, but
(32:46):
positive side that we are on thedownside of it.
And if right now I were to turnaround, well, let me get around
the other side of the lake.
The positive side is, if I wereto get around to the other side
of the lake which I'm going tobecause we're this far in, we're
(33:06):
finishing five miles.
But if I were to get around tothe other side of the lake and
decide, you know what I'm done,I ain't swimming across but to
walk back around, it would bethe same as if I continued
walking.
Ergo, I would still get my fivemiles.
(33:27):
So we're at that point where wewould get it regardless.
Well, almost, but we're almostat the point where we would get
it regardless.
Well, almost, but we're almostat the point where we would get
it regardless.
It ain't much further, but evenat that, I've still got enough
to get all the way around,because it's only like the feet
(33:49):
have only just started to feelit and in just talking to you my
pace has picked up.
So you guys are kind of givingme a little, a little oomph to
move forward.
And on the plus side, I nolonger have the kayakers, the
jogger I don't know whathappened to her.
We've got a couple of newplayers entered the game.
(34:12):
They're going oppositedirections so I'll see them
pretty easy.
I don't know who that cat isover there.
Yeah, so like recording-wiseI'm wide open now, like short of
somebody popping out of thewoods, which that would be
interesting, short of somebodypopping out of the woods like I
(34:33):
got unrestricted recording modenow, like I know I know you
could record with people aroundanyway.
Yeah, you didn't see the look Igot from the jogger when she
heard me talking smack to someducks, and I should have saved
that smack talk for the geese,because that one goose you seen
him, it her, I don't know whatit identifies as, but he on the
(34:58):
phone, he loud too.
I hear him on the other side ofthe lake, but maybe I'm loud.
Can they hear me?
Like that one can't, becausethey are heavily engaged in
conversation on the phone or tothemselves, I don't know.
Well, that's a female and she'sgot some pace.
(35:19):
I've got to pick it up a littlebit because she's going to
catch up and ruin my mode,anyway, but I should have saved
the smack talk for that onegoose because, like you saw,
there was two of them and it wasthat one, like they swapped
places.
The, the one that was like, oh,sup bro, like he was chill, he
(35:40):
was on the other side, but theone that was like now we doing
this, he was on the side, closerand they switched roles, and
the sup bro, he was on one foot,that's the one I was talking to
and all of a sudden, out ofnowhere, oh, who is this?
All right, we got anotherplayer in the game.
I don't know this person'swalking, but uh, yeah, yeah,
(36:06):
we're almost done there, we'regetting there and I'll give you
my pathetic time once I'm done.
I know, like a lot of times,people can't control how they
look.
I can't control how I look.
Probably could, if I tookbetter care of myself, like use
some skin care products, stufflike that.
(36:27):
I'm not.
But how do you just look angryLike this person was walking?
It's a beautiful day.
This person just look angry,like this person was walking.
It's a beautiful day.
This person just looked angry,like even smiled at me, and it
was an angry smile.
Like I feel like this personlike generally not an angry
(36:49):
person, but the face says I'mmad, like is that?
Do you look mad while you'reasleep, do you?
Are you a mad sleeper like you?
Just your face just says like Idon't know, I don't get it.
Like it takes all differentkinds to make the world go round
, but I don't, like I have areceiving headline, so I try not
(37:17):
to have a hairstyle that likelooks like I'm trying to cover
it up or like makes it look morepronounced.
I try not to do that.
I take some steps, not much I'mactually really lazy.
Do that, I take some.
(37:39):
I take some steps, not much I'mactually really lazy.
But like I feel like if I had aface that just looked angry all
the time, like I do like alittle different hairstyle or I
don't know, like how would youdo that?
Like if you just walked aroundlooking angry like what you
upset about I'm not upset.
Well, why don't you smile?
I am smiling Like I'm sureshe's okay with it, and I hope
(38:04):
she is Because, like, that's herlife, that's her style.
But you just look angry.
I wonder, like, are you Like?
I don't know.
We're almost there, by the way.
We've got technically two morecorners to negotiate and we are
(38:27):
in the stretch.
We do have to get past likeGoose Hulk Hogan.
Over there I don't see anybodyelse high stepping away from
that goose or nothing.
So it has got to be personal.
That goose has just got to like, not like me.
I don't even know that goose.
(38:49):
I didn't do nothing to them.
I'm just out here enjoyingnature like they are.
That's fine.
We're fitting a leave too.
Yeah, that goose might get itLike.
I might have to like stick andrun and hopefully nobody out
here got my tag number ornothing but like, if he's stuck,
(39:12):
is it a justifiable defense tokick a goose in the neck like?
Oh, he tried to attack me.
I kicked him in the neck and Idon't know.
The jogger was coming up.
I think she had her head budsin.
It's a different jogger, notthe same one.
She chose pink too.
I don't know why, and she alsolikes to play softball.
(39:34):
Y'all know what I'm saying.
But uh, anyway, okay, is it ajustifiable defense to kick a
goose in the neck if it tries toget you?
And if you kick it in the neck,would that really do anything?
Or would it like spaghettinoodle around your leg?
Like what?
If you kick a goose in the neckand it does like this little
whip action where it whipsaround and wraps around your leg
(39:56):
and now, like the goose beak,is like nipping at you?
I'm sweaty, so I'm not sweatingit too bad, but like what, if
all?
Right.
So we did it, made it fivemiles and took us an hour and 36
minutes and I feel like that'sentirely too long for five miles
(40:20):
.
But I was walking and I wasn'treally putting a whole lot of
effort in.
I was just kind of getting themovement in.
Heart rate was up, so doesstill count as a workout and
spent some time outside.
So either way, I'm good with it.
Um, I am going to say that I dosometimes try not to be very
(40:42):
judgmental.
However, there is someone whohas just come out here to, I'm
presuming, go around the track.
I'm presuming go around thetrack and he has showed up with
a plate carrier on.
For those of you who don't knowwhat a plate carrier is a plate
(41:03):
carrier is basically just likesome kind of canvas material or
something along those lines,whatever the company decides to
use which holds body armor.
The specific type of platecarriers hold different types,
but in general you're talkinglevel 3, 3a, 3a plus and higher
(41:24):
plates, which can be ceramic orsteel.
Some offer the ability to havesoft armor underneath, which is
just like several layers ofkevlar stacked on top, wrapped
up, and that's called soft armor.
So they allow you to have softarmor underneath, which just
(41:44):
gives you an extra padding ifyou ever take a round in your
plates.
So this guy shows up with aplate carrier on and to those
that don't know, it's like ohlook, he's got a vest on, but
yeah, that's a whole platecarrier and he's got no plates
in it.
At most he's got some softarmor in it, but there's no
(42:08):
plates in it.
So the thought in my mindimmediately goes to why are you
wearing it Like?
I got nothing against youwearing your plate carrier to
come out here and knock out amile, two miles, I've done it
with five miles.
I've got no problem with that.
I keep my plates in mine andit's heavy Like it's it.
(42:32):
It weighs a good bit becauseI've got steel plates, but I
leave the steel plates in itwhile I'm going around.
Matter of fact, just abouteverything I carry on my plate
carrier.
I leave on it when I'm using itfor something like this.
Yet he has got a slick platecarrier with a name tape, an
(42:55):
American flag and maybe somesoft armor.
There's no plates in thatcarrier whatsoever.
So it makes me wonder why he'sdoing it.
Did you seriously just come outhere to look cool?
Come out here to look coolbecause if you're looking for a
(43:18):
basically empty plate carrier toadd anything to your workout,
you are kidding yourself likekudos for getting out here and
moving.
I'm all for that, because a lotof us lead too much of a
sedimentary life and that leadsto poor health and a whole bunch
of other problems.
But seriously, bro, why are youwearing the plate carrier?
Like, like, part of me says youknow what?
(43:43):
Maybe he just doesn't know.
Maybe he just doesn't know that, like, the point of it is to
add weight, to have you know, 50, 60, 70, 80 pounds on you while
you're doing it.
But then there's the other partof me which thinks that he
literally just did it becausehe's going to be in public and
(44:03):
he wants to look cool.
By the way, he's also got that,that shortcut stash.
So, yeah, anyway, ours is doneand I'm gonna go home, get a
shower and, uh, I got some newboots.
So I plan on putting on my newboots and doing some new boot
(44:24):
goofing.
They are not genuine ostrich,but I'm gonna put on my new
boots and I'm gonna go aroundand get some kicks and, uh, I'm
gonna have a wonderful day.
Hope you do too.
Thanks, guys, bye.
Team 1, stand by Copy .
Team 1, standing by Breachbreach breach.
Alright, so I hadn't posted ina while and I figured to try to
get back into it.
We're going to do something alittle different Today.
I'm going to bring you alongfor one of my workouts.
(00:21):
It's not one of my usualworkouts workouts because I'm
usually in the gym.
Today it's really somethingrather easy.
Well, it should be easy, butwe're going to go for a little
walk around a lake nearby andjust kind of get some movement.
We're going to try to knock outfive miles, so we'll see how
that goes.
I've got the old beats in andit'll be a little sporadic.
(00:46):
There's no like specific topicwe're going to talk about, but
just kind of some randomconversation, and I don't really
like talking to my phone inpublic because people look at
you weird and I look at peopleweird when they do it.
But that's what we're going todo.
So it'll uh just be that somerandom conversations, probably
(01:10):
some stupid moments that happen,whatever, and uh we'll just be
popping in.
I won't be recording the entiretime, cause I'm not going to
bore you with however long ittakes me to knock out five miles
.
That's what we're doing today,so see you in a few.
By the way, this is southeastgeorgia.
It's 7 32 in the morning, with87 humidity and 64 degrees.
(01:36):
I'll have a few miles from hereand the condensation is still
very heavy on the windows, sothere shall be some perspiration
.
Yeah, 87% humidity at 730 inthe morning.
God, I love the south.
(01:57):
All right, so we have started.
We've got the old Fitbit syncedup and it's gonna help us keep
track of our distance and, yeah,we're gonna see how this goes.
You know, and all of our talksabout mental health and stuff
(02:21):
like that I don't know that I'veever really talked about the
importance of finding somethingto do.
That thing is urgent.
Hold on, let me fix that,that's better.
So I don't know that we've evertalked about it, about how
(02:45):
important it is to findsomething to do with your time
and how physical fitness canactually play a big role in that
and your mental health.
Um, you know, there's nothingmore or nothing worse, at least
for me to have my mind weigheddown with a bunch of stuff and
(03:09):
literally just be sitting arounddoing nothing and get lost in
those thoughts.
Like it's horrible.
It's almost like torturingyourself over and over again
because all you do is sit andthink about whatever it is
that's got you overwhelmed.
So I try to keep myselfoccupied with other things.
(03:36):
Not so I don't think aboutthings or I don't get
overwhelmed, but often enoughthe mere act of doing things
allows me to release thosestress levels.
You know, I still deal withthings and stuff like that, but
it's in a more healthy mannerand I'm not sitting around just
(03:57):
kind of dwelling on it, andthat's kind of what physical
fitness helps with as well.
It's like today, you know, I'vebeen to Stradivarius.
It's five miles.
I've got a feeling that my feetare going to be killing me, but
it's five miles, it's abeautiful day, the weather is
(04:17):
great, other than my little bitsof OCD seeing people walk
different directions on thetrack.
Yeah, it's going to be good.
You know my little bits of OCDseeing people walk different
directions on the track.
Yeah, it's going to be good.
You know I'm not really weigheddown by anything right now, but
it's still a stress relief andyeah, so I'm here for it.
So, if nothing else, findsomething to do.
(04:39):
A hobby, a side hustle physicalfitness, that's a good one, but
find something to do, see howthat works out for you.
So I've tried to record twoseparate times now and have
stopped, mainly because there'speople coming and I don't want
(05:01):
to look like I've lost my mindwalking around talking to my
phone Though in today's time Iguess it's kind of irrelevant
with Bluetooth and all thisother good crap but either way,
I've stopped recording twice.
And then, on top of that, Ialso realized that it wasn't my
(05:24):
camera that was dirty, it wasthe rest of the screen that was
all smudgy.
So when I was trying to cleanthe camera, the camera wasn't
the problem, it was blurrybecause the screen was smudgy.
So I fixed that.
And there's some guy who's got agood boy and I'm going to have
to stop because here come somejoggers.
(05:45):
Be right in a minute.
Oh, look at me, I jog.
Yeah well, I'm fat, I'm old.
In all honesty, that guy lookedolder than me, much more fit.
He's jogging.
That's pathetic.
(06:05):
I'm walking.
Hang that train's loud.
Anyway.
There's a guy who's got a goodboy.
He's walking around.
I don't know what kind of dogit is, because I'm not a kind of
person, but what kind of dog?
It's a a large breed dog.
Hello ducks.
It's a large breed dog withlike curly hair, like the whole
(06:29):
dog is just this big curl.
Either way, he ain't dirtybecause he keeps going down to
the lake.
Oh, there's a turtle, turtleAnyway, um, yeah, so, anyway,
yeah, so just walking aroundsaying good morning to people
(06:50):
Morning.
So there's an older gentlemanout here today.
He appears to have either hadsomething happen to him or maybe
he was born with it, but itlooks like his style of walking
or his gait is much differentthan everybody out here, almost
(07:12):
like he has to force his legs todo it.
This man is straight getting itaround here Like he's walking,
but it's like his form of powerwalking and he has straight
getting it much older than me.
That's inspirational, like tosee him out here pushing himself
(07:35):
like that.
The fact that I'm coming up withexcuses like the insole in my
right tennis shoe is separatedand it makes it uncomfortable to
walk Maybe I shouldn't do fivemiles Makes all that stuff seem
stupid.
Honestly, it is.
That's odd.
Just a random sweatshirtsitting there and now, because
(08:00):
of what I did, I'm lookingaround for a person to go get it
.
Because of what I did, I'mlooking around for a person to
go get it.
They're on them, but they're aduck.
Where is the person?
It's the ducks.
The ducks did it.
I see you, mallard, what's up?
Yeah, yeah, where's the guy?
(08:20):
The person?
Nah, no, no, no, all right, Igot gotta make this one quick.
There's people coming, so Ireview these little clips while
I'm walking.
It's entertaining.
But I review them after I getthem, recording them, just to
see if they're worth keeping,because, let's be honest, I'll
(08:41):
edit on the fly.
And where was I going with thatCrap?
Where was I going with that?
Yeah, I'll come back when Iremember.
(09:02):
Oh, yeah, that's right, Iforgot, um, I had to go back and
watch the last one, um, so Iwas reviewing the one where, you
know, the ducks were likecoming to me.
I don't know if they're tryingto attack me or if they thought
I had bread, but she's gettingreally close, um.
So I don't know if they'retrying to attack me or get bread
, doesn't matter, they werecoming after me.
(09:23):
I was about it.
We thought I won anyway.
So I was reviewing the video andthe cars driving by.
This, mike, apparently, isreally good.
So I'm reviewing it and I'm ona part of the lake now where I'm
away from the traffic, and yetit sounds like cars are driving
by me.
I had to stop myself and lookaround because I thought there
was a car near me.
Stupid me forgot that I wasactually recording that.
(09:45):
All right, she's getting close.
I'll be back in a minute.
So yeah, I was just reviewingthat last little clip and if you
back up the video and youlisten, you're going to hear
like a clop, like clop, clop,clop.
I don't know what it was atfirst and I realized that that
(10:07):
is my footsteps.
This microphone apparently isso good that it's picking up my
footsteps from my tennis shoesand my concrete.
And now all I can think is itsounds like I'm wearing
hard-soled shoes, like somethingwith a hard heel.
And now my brain goes hey, yousound like a horse walking down
(10:30):
the road.
Now I'm thinking it's likeclippity-clop, clippity-clop,
clippity-clop, and it makes mewonder can other people hear it?
Like when I walk by them?
Do they hear clop, clop, clopas the old fat guy walks by?
I don't know.
I also don't know where the guywith the dog went.
The dog with the like permanentperm, I don't know where he
(10:52):
went.
And the old man who's walking alittle different, he is still
getting it.
The look on his face says he'swearing down, but this track is
roughly about a mile and Ipassed him three times.
I think three times, yeah.
(11:13):
So I know he's done at least amile and a half because we meet
like on, even on other ends.
So I know he's done at least amile and a half, even on other
ends.
So I know he's done at least amile and a half.
He's still getting it.
And I'm over here with a heartrate of well now I don't know.
Hold on, I need your help.
(11:36):
We've gone a little over a mileand a quarter.
Heart rate's about 106.
And you're seeing, I've got a19-minute mile mile pace.
Is that good?
Like I don't know.
I hear other people I can run amile and a half in seven minutes
.
That sounds fast to me, likedriving.
(11:57):
I'm like, oh look, I went amile in less than a minute.
So saying like you went a mile,mile and a half, seven minutes
seems like a lot.
I don't know that.
I've ever run a seven minutemile.
I think the best was like ninesomething.
I'm not a runner.
I think I almost died.
(12:18):
It's like an out of bodyexperience, like I didn't want
to be in my body because Ididn't like it and they didn't
like me, something like that.
I don't really remember.
Anyway, we'll be back, alright,this is weird.
So, like, where'd everybody go?
(12:39):
Like there was a couple olderguys walking together.
There was the old guy with thedifferent walk, there was this
jogger, these other two joggers,and I'll see them now.
Like I looked down at my phoneand now I'm up and now they're
(12:59):
not here.
Oh wait, nevermind, there's thejogger, I'll be back, okay.
So two quick things.
One really not sure if thepeople that just walked by me
were referring to me or not,mainly because I haven't got
earbuds in, I can't really hearmuch.
(13:20):
But as they were coming by,because I was waiting to press
record for a different reason,as they were coming by, I could
hear them talking because therewas no sound, at least coming
through the earbuds.
There's obviously soundeverywhere else, but there was
no sound and I could hear themtalking.
And just as they passed me, Ihear something said.
(13:42):
I couldn't really make out whatwas being said.
Then I hear what's up, bro,that's where me, I don't know.
Like that side of me, that'slike self-conscious, thinks you
were referring to me, likeyou're looking at me like hey,
if that's the case, like why areyou judging, bro?
(14:03):
I'll know you.
Secondly, does anybody know thisis not a commercial free fare?
What are y'all doing?
(14:23):
There's no rock plant over here, okay, anyway, does anybody
know what the flowers on top oflily pads are called Like?
Do they have a different nameor is it just like oh, it's a
lily pad?
Kind of think through this.
(14:47):
I'm not talking about like anerdy scientific name.
I'm talking about like does ithave an actual name?
Or is it called a lily?
Because I know there is a lily,like all kind of a lilies.
Yeah, I see another lot.
There's all kind of lilies, butthese are flowers on top of
lily pads.
I've said lily too much.
It sounds funny now.
(15:08):
So, like, what's the name forthem?
And I only brought that upbecause, the way my brain's one
is, there's a lock on there,anyway.
So I was about ready to recordand I stopped because there was
these two kayakers that have nowentered the game and they're
like paddling down the lake.
(15:29):
That's all fine and good.
Like the whole bank, all theway around the lake is covered
in lily pads.
This is not that place.
Why are there locks on thefence?
It's like random locks, likethis isn't that place.
It's like, oh, this is ourlittle wish.
Like nobody comes to our place,and it's like, oh, we're gonna
do a wish here.
There's nothing magical aboutthis other than like scenery.
(15:53):
I don't know, anyway, what was Italking about?
Oh, so they're paddling aroundand I was getting ready to
record, but I didn't becausepeople and I uh, oh great,
somebody else close but I didn't, because people and I was like,
all right, well, they'll passsoon.
Because they're paddling, loand behold, they turned the
(16:16):
kayaks so they could look at thelily pads, like, as they're
getting close to me and I'mwanting to record, well, you
want round two.
Duck, what's up?
What's up, bro, okay, anyway.
So, yeah, just weird, reallyweird.
(16:37):
Maybe I'm just weird, I don'tknow.
All right, well, it's happened.
I've now been looked at likethe weird guy because the other
person and I was like, look morepeople.
Um, yeah, she's apparently afast walker and as I looked at
the ducks, it was like talkingabout round two with the ducks.
(16:58):
She apparently had alreadycrossed the road from the
parking lot to the littlepavilion and was within earshot
of me talking crap to some ducks.
Like I have right to Because,like I won Apex, but like she's
seeing me talk crap to theseducks, like I don't know her,
(17:21):
she don't know me, but now she'son this course with me and now
when, thankfully, she's goingthe other way hope she's not a
jogger I'll see her faster thannow.
When I see her, she'd be likeoh look, there's the weirdo that
talks to ducks, which is funny,because there's a duck out here
who and I'm not speaking ill ofthe duck for any of y'all to
(17:43):
get upset about it but thisduck's face literally looks like
he was bobbing for apples andhot fry grease, like all around
his face it's just bubbly, and Ithink it's supposed to look
that way because there's anotherone on the other side of the
lake that looks identical, atleast identical to me.
Like I'm not trying to be thatguy, I'd be like y'all look the
(18:03):
same, but like they do, theylook the same there.
Yeah, we're not going there.
Nope, nope, not me, alright.
So update we are about two anda quarter miles in and heart
rate's up to about 112.
Pace has improved.
It's like 1830 something.
(18:25):
Not looking again, though for aminute my Fitbit quit picking
up heartbeat, so I'm not sure ifthere's like a connection issue
, or maybe I just died there fora minute, but either way,
that's the update on that.
Also, kayakers, yeah yeah, Ijust I don't get it.
(18:50):
Like why, just right there,like 10 feet off the bank,
staring at lily pads?
It's like they look the same.
Like that lily pad's a littleyellow, that one's more green,
that one's got a flower, oh,look one that's more yellow,
that one's a little brown.
(19:11):
They look the same.
And you've done it since youentered the lake.
I don't get it.
Like it's a competitive side ofme.
Like if I'm in this lake in akayak with someone else in a
(19:32):
kayak, like we might start outall nice and everything, but
eventually I'm going to splashyou with someone else in a kayak
.
Like we might start out allnice and everything, but
eventually I'm gonna splash you.
We are going to be racingacross this lake.
Like, if you participate or not, like I will still try to
outrun you because it's notactual running, I'm going to
splash you.
And if that means, oh, she'sgoing the same way as me and she
(19:57):
is a jogger, this is happening,maybe the swans will get her,
then she'll know I was talkingshit, I'll be back.
She's a runner, she's a trackstar, not really Like.
She should have passed me waybefore she did, but she's either
(20:18):
doing hit training or she's notlike a long distance runner.
Because she wasn't that farbehind me.
I just happened to check behindme and see her.
She was jogging here.
(20:44):
She was jogging, so I stoppedand walked.
She hadn't showed up.
I'm like checking again because, like for all I know, she sees
the weird guy talking to ducksand now she's plotting.
So I got to be like what youdoing when you at, not today?
Um, but then she comes past meand she's jogging and she gets
(21:06):
maybe 20 yards ahead of me andshe starts walking.
And she was only about 30 yardsbehind me when I first noticed
her and she was jogging.
So now she's walking again.
Like I can get behind that.
I can get behind that workout.
Like I'm not going to last aslong as she do, but I can jog
(21:29):
for a little bit and then walk alot and then jog a little bit
and then walk a lot more, andthat's what I've been doing
Somewhere along here.
By the way, there's an egg.
I don't know if it's a duck eggor goose egg.
Definitely ain't no chicken egg.
Have anybody else out thereever had duck or goose eggs and
(21:52):
are they tasty, like, do theytaste like chicken eggs?
Because they're all birds, theylay eggs and I'm wondering if
the duck egg or goose egg that'sa pacifier, some little baby's
walking around without theirbinky.
But I'm wondering if all theseeggs taste the same or if
(22:14):
they're different.
Like I'm sure you all have seenhow big an ostrich egg is.
That thing's massive.
It's like sugar's running again, yeah, I'm not doing that, but
an ostrich egg, it's like one ofthose mini pumpkins.
That thing's huge.
I really want to try one, butat the same time, like I really
(22:35):
don't, because I look at anostrich and I have some big-ass
eyes.
But at the same time, like Ireally don't, because I look at
an ostrich and I have somebig-ass eyes.
But anyway, what was I talkingabout Before the eggs?
No, I don't know.
Figure it out in a minute, Iguess.
Is there a baton in your pocket?
Are you just happy to see me?
(23:01):
That's a song going through myhead right now.
Sounds a little weird, I'm sure, and I ain't no singer.
However, it's a catchy littletune If any of you have ever
watched the show the Rookie,which completely, just not even
remotely close to reality.
But it's an entertaining show.
(23:23):
The acting is great.
I really enjoy it.
But there's a scene in therewhere the officer and his
trainee go to this house, orsomething, at least I think the
first time they come across themit's you know they're there for
a different reason.
There's this garage bandsitting there and all of a
sudden, out of nowhere, thegarage band starts up and you
(23:46):
hear the lead singer you knowtalking about is that a baton in
your pocket?
Are you just happy to see me?
Anyway, it's a fun little songand kind of stuck on my head.
Well, a season or two laterthey get sent to a noise
complaint and they get out andit's all quiet.
He's like maybe we missed it.
(24:08):
All of a sudden, out of nowhere, he hears the guitar band start
up, or the garage band start upagain, and the song starts
again.
But this time they've addedlike this little choir that
comes out of the house singing,some lady pops out of a van
playing a guitar getting herlittle guitar riff in, and it's
(24:28):
interesting, it's funny.
So I got to thinking about itthe other day and I actually
went to YouTube to see if it wasan actual song.
It does actually, you know,have like a an artist for it,
like, but was it a song beforethe show or did they create it
specifically for the show?
Either way, it's a fun littlesong.
(24:51):
It's called daddy cop.
It's funny and that's like onmy head and repeat right now.
So get a chance, go to youtube,look up daddy cop, because it's
actually a fun little song andit's on my head and repeat right
now.
And I think I'm gonna go listento it because I I recorded it.
(25:13):
So I'm gonna listen to it andmaybe I'll think about something
else to say why do ducks sleepwith their faces under their
wings, like they're not evencovering their eyes, so it's not
like they're trying to sleepand all that Like one?
(25:34):
It would be uncomfortable forme because I don't have like the
whole snakey neck.
But like what if you had like abad bo day, like you got some
body funk going on or some bodyodor build up for ducks, don't?
They don't bathe like us, likethey're not using an old spice
like me, um, but like they'rejust breathing in like their own
(25:57):
essence while they sleep.
That doesn't sound veryattractive to me.
It doesn't sound veryattractive at all.
Oh, there's the geese.
The geese look like they gotpants that are sagging.
What's up, bro?
You missed leg day sayingAlright.
So we are over halfway.
(26:21):
We are about three and a quartermiles into our little trip and
it dawned on me that days liketoday, when you're out, you're
doing something that I guess youenjoy, when you're out, you're
doing something that I guess youenjoy.
It's a beautiful day, lowstress, it's a good time for
(26:49):
reflection, and just before,maybe a minute or so before I
hit record, I too was reflecting, and what I was reflecting on
was the fact that, like rightnow, there is some friction in
the nether regions, but I can'treally explain and I don't know
(27:12):
if it's because a box ofs areridden up or if it's from my
workout pants, I don't know.
I'm reflecting on that rightnow and I'm thinking what could
I have done to prevent this?
Like the obvious answer it'sabout, like talking to gym rats
(27:32):
like they go oh well, you knowhow do you not pull a muscle?
Uh, doing a leg workout?
It's like, oh, do chest or doarms?
Like the obvious answer is likedon't walk.
Like don't try to walk fivemiles and your thighs won't be
hot enough to make some pancakesor some flapjacks and that
(27:53):
sounds really good right now.
But all those carbs might bebad, but the thought of them and
the syrup were delicious.
By the way, one of those gooses,like I thought I think he
wanted to smoke, like as I comeby, you know, stuck his head up,
had his little beak out andeverything.
(28:14):
Like I don't think he knows hedon't got teeth and I'll throw
hands like that beak, you mightpinch me, but like, bro, I'm
coming back with some fire and Igot some pretty strong legs.
We can turn that little snakeneck into a pool noodle real
quick, I'm just saying.
But like he stuck his head upand like he started talking
(28:38):
smack and then the goose thatwas with him started, started
talking smack, like I don't knowwhat they were saying because I
don't speak goose.
If any of y'all do, maybe I'llrecord it.
Y'all can tell me what he wassaying.
But like I felt like it wasn'tgood, like he was like sitting
there challenging, like come on,bro, like let's do this goose
style.
I don't think this style goosestyle.
(28:58):
It's like Gustav, so like thesame but different.
I don't know.
Anyway, all right, get back atit.
The kayakers have finished theirjourney.
They have slowly in like thelongest kayak event ever finally
(29:20):
made it around the lake andhave decided to call it quits.
After like three quarters of alap, they've just drug the
kayaks back up their little tinyboat ramp.
That's their calling it quits.
Kudos, kudos, beautiful seeingyou folks here today.
I stand corrected.
(29:42):
The female of the group hasapparently decided to take a
walk.
Either that or she needs to usethe restroom, because the boat
ramp is on the opposite side ofwhere the bathrooms are.
And uh, so I'm now running fromher and I've got someone in
front of me.
So I'm stuck between a rock anda hard place and somewhere.
(30:05):
I don't know where she is.
Oh, there, she is coming aroundthe corner, the jogger's coming
and I've got the geese I'mcoming up to next.
So, like I got the geese, I'mcoming up to next.
So like I want to record when Igo by these geese, because I
feel like one's going to temptme.
He's going to try me, like Ifeel it.
And if he goes after the lady,I know it's nothing personal
(30:27):
against me, that's just the lifehe lives.
But oh man, she peeled off, soI got to find this out myself.
So I don't know.
Okay, the jogger stopped and thekayaker is not as fast as me,
which means I'm going to recordthrough this whole process of
(30:51):
walking past these geese, likeI'm trying to respect nature.
You don't understand.
I'm trying to respect thesegeese that are doing goose
things, but so I'm trying torespect nature, you don't
understand.
I'm trying to respect thesegeese.
They're out here doing goosethings, so I'm going to give him
a little wide berth, but oh,there he goes.
He's raising that head already.
Like put both feet down, don't?
Oh, you're the one that wantsto smoke, huh, yeah, let me show
(31:14):
you what he's doing.
Look at him.
I'm going.
I can't even do nothing.
He's just trying to get smokefor no reason, like if there
weren't people around me andthat goose might have just had
(31:37):
it out.
Like I had to put the phonedown.
I see catching both hands,grabbing by the head.
Is she wearing a visor or anoculus?
Like if you're out here walkingaround the lake wearing an
oculus, like that's og, likethat's that's taking it to a
next level.
You've gone beyond 4D.
Nope, it's just my eyes.
(32:00):
It's a baseball cap, it's justwhite.
Are we done yet?
Alright, we are four miles inand starting to fiddle a little
bit.
Feet are heating up and I knowthat my briefs have not crept up
(32:26):
.
It feels like it, like it'sgood and warm there.
There's some friction and mypace has slowed down.
I can tell that we're at about19.45 a mile now and, yeah, but
(32:46):
positive side that we are on thedownside of it.
And if right now I were to turnaround, well, let me get around
the other side of the lake.
The positive side is, if I wereto get around to the other side
of the lake which I'm going tobecause we're this far in, we're
(33:06):
finishing five miles.
But if I were to get around tothe other side of the lake and
decide, you know what I'm done,I ain't swimming across but to
walk back around, it would bethe same as if I continued
walking.
Ergo, I would still get my fivemiles.
(33:27):
So we're at that point where wewould get it regardless.
Well, almost, but we're almostat the point where we would get
it regardless.
Well, almost, but we're almostat the point where we would get
it regardless.
It ain't much further, but evenat that, I've still got enough
to get all the way around,because it's only like the feet
(33:49):
have only just started to feelit and in just talking to you my
pace has picked up.
So you guys are kind of givingme a little, a little oomph to
move forward.
And on the plus side, I nolonger have the kayakers, the
jogger I don't know whathappened to her.
We've got a couple of newplayers entered the game.
(34:12):
They're going oppositedirections so I'll see them
pretty easy.
I don't know who that cat isover there.
Yeah, so like recording-wiseI'm wide open now, like short of
somebody popping out of thewoods, which that would be
interesting, short of somebodypopping out of the woods like I
(34:33):
got unrestricted recording modenow, like I know I know you
could record with people aroundanyway.
Yeah, you didn't see the look Igot from the jogger when she
heard me talking smack to someducks, and I should have saved
that smack talk for the geese,because that one goose you seen
him, it her, I don't know whatit identifies as, but he on the
(34:58):
phone, he loud too.
I hear him on the other side ofthe lake, but maybe I'm loud.
Can they hear me?
Like that one can't, becausethey are heavily engaged in
conversation on the phone or tothemselves, I don't know.
Well, that's a female and she'sgot some pace.
(35:19):
I've got to pick it up a littlebit because she's going to
catch up and ruin my mode,anyway, but I should have saved
the smack talk for that onegoose because, like you saw,
there was two of them and it wasthat one, like they swapped
places.
The, the one that was like, oh,sup bro, like he was chill, he
(35:40):
was on the other side, but theone that was like now we doing
this, he was on the side, closerand they switched roles, and
the sup bro, he was on one foot,that's the one I was talking to
and all of a sudden, out ofnowhere, oh, who is this?
All right, we got anotherplayer in the game.
I don't know this person'swalking, but uh, yeah, yeah,
(36:06):
we're almost done there, we'regetting there and I'll give you
my pathetic time once I'm done.
I know, like a lot of times,people can't control how they
look.
I can't control how I look.
Probably could, if I tookbetter care of myself, like use
some skin care products, stufflike that.
(36:27):
I'm not.
But how do you just look angryLike this person was walking?
It's a beautiful day.
This person just look angry,like this person was walking.
It's a beautiful day.
This person just looked angry,like even smiled at me, and it
was an angry smile.
Like I feel like this personlike generally not an angry
(36:49):
person, but the face says I'mmad, like is that?
Do you look mad while you'reasleep, do you?
Are you a mad sleeper like you?
Just your face just says like Idon't know, I don't get it.
Like it takes all differentkinds to make the world go round
, but I don't, like I have areceiving headline, so I try not
(37:17):
to have a hairstyle that likelooks like I'm trying to cover
it up or like makes it look morepronounced.
I try not to do that.
I take some steps, not much I'mactually really lazy.
Do that, I take some.
(37:39):
I take some steps, not much I'mactually really lazy.
But like I feel like if I had aface that just looked angry all
the time, like I do like alittle different hairstyle or I
don't know, like how would youdo that?
Like if you just walked aroundlooking angry like what you
upset about I'm not upset.
Well, why don't you smile?
I am smiling Like I'm sureshe's okay with it, and I hope
(38:04):
she is Because, like, that's herlife, that's her style.
But you just look angry.
I wonder, like, are you Like?
I don't know.
We're almost there, by the way.
We've got technically two morecorners to negotiate and we are
(38:27):
in the stretch.
We do have to get past likeGoose Hulk Hogan.
Over there I don't see anybodyelse high stepping away from
that goose or nothing.
So it has got to be personal.
That goose has just got to like, not like me.
I don't even know that goose.
(38:49):
I didn't do nothing to them.
I'm just out here enjoyingnature like they are.
That's fine.
We're fitting a leave too.
Yeah, that goose might get itLike.
I might have to like stick andrun and hopefully nobody out
here got my tag number ornothing but like, if he's stuck,
(39:12):
is it a justifiable defense tokick a goose in the neck like?
Oh, he tried to attack me.
I kicked him in the neck and Idon't know.
The jogger was coming up.
I think she had her head budsin.
It's a different jogger, notthe same one.
She chose pink too.
I don't know why, and she alsolikes to play softball.
(39:34):
Y'all know what I'm saying.
But uh, anyway, okay, is it ajustifiable defense to kick a
goose in the neck if it tries toget you?
And if you kick it in the neck,would that really do anything?
Or would it like spaghettinoodle around your leg?
Like what?
If you kick a goose in the neckand it does like this little
whip action where it whipsaround and wraps around your leg
(39:56):
and now, like the goose beak,is like nipping at you?
I'm sweaty, so I'm not sweatingit too bad, but like what, if
all?
Right.
So we did it, made it fivemiles and took us an hour and 36
minutes and I feel like that'sentirely too long for five miles
(40:20):
.
But I was walking and I wasn'treally putting a whole lot of
effort in.
I was just kind of getting themovement in.
Heart rate was up, so doesstill count as a workout and
spent some time outside.
So either way, I'm good with it.
Um, I am going to say that I dosometimes try not to be very
(40:42):
judgmental.
However, there is someone whohas just come out here to, I'm
presuming, go around the track.
I'm presuming go around thetrack and he has showed up with
a plate carrier on.
For those of you who don't knowwhat a plate carrier is a plate
(41:03):
carrier is basically just likesome kind of canvas material or
something along those lines,whatever the company decides to
use which holds body armor.
The specific type of platecarriers hold different types,
but in general you're talkinglevel 3, 3a, 3a plus and higher
(41:24):
plates, which can be ceramic orsteel.
Some offer the ability to havesoft armor underneath, which is
just like several layers ofkevlar stacked on top, wrapped
up, and that's called soft armor.
So they allow you to have softarmor underneath, which just
(41:44):
gives you an extra padding ifyou ever take a round in your
plates.
So this guy shows up with aplate carrier on and to those
that don't know, it's like ohlook, he's got a vest on, but
yeah, that's a whole platecarrier and he's got no plates
in it.
At most he's got some softarmor in it, but there's no
(42:08):
plates in it.
So the thought in my mindimmediately goes to why are you
wearing it Like?
I got nothing against youwearing your plate carrier to
come out here and knock out amile, two miles, I've done it
with five miles.
I've got no problem with that.
I keep my plates in mine andit's heavy Like it's it.
(42:32):
It weighs a good bit becauseI've got steel plates, but I
leave the steel plates in itwhile I'm going around.
Matter of fact, just abouteverything I carry on my plate
carrier.
I leave on it when I'm using itfor something like this.
Yet he has got a slick platecarrier with a name tape, an
(42:55):
American flag and maybe somesoft armor.
There's no plates in thatcarrier whatsoever.
So it makes me wonder why he'sdoing it.
Did you seriously just come outhere to look cool?
Come out here to look coolbecause if you're looking for a
(43:18):
basically empty plate carrier toadd anything to your workout,
you are kidding yourself likekudos for getting out here and
moving.
I'm all for that, because a lotof us lead too much of a
sedimentary life and that leadsto poor health and a whole bunch
of other problems.
But seriously, bro, why are youwearing the plate carrier?
Like, like, part of me says youknow what?
(43:43):
Maybe he just doesn't know.
Maybe he just doesn't know that, like, the point of it is to
add weight, to have you know, 50, 60, 70, 80 pounds on you while
you're doing it.
But then there's the other partof me which thinks that he
literally just did it becausehe's going to be in public and
(44:03):
he wants to look cool.
By the way, he's also got that,that shortcut stash.
So, yeah, anyway, ours is doneand I'm gonna go home, get a
shower and, uh, I got some newboots.
So I plan on putting on my newboots and doing some new boot
(44:24):
goofing.
They are not genuine ostrich,but I'm gonna put on my new
boots and I'm gonna go aroundand get some kicks and, uh, I'm
gonna have a wonderful day.
Hope you do too.
Thanks, guys, bye.
