Miami Madness & Christmas Chaos (Ep. 10)

Send us a text

Let’s be honest: progress is messy, loud, and kind of beautiful. We finally break out of the “tripod-on-a-chair” era and fire up a proper studio: Mac mini on a rolling cart, camera arm, ceiling-bounced light, and a sleepy four-legged co-host who steals the frame whenever she feels like it. It’s a real upgrade, not because it’s perfect, but because it’s ours—tuned by curiosity, adjusted in real time, and held together by a growing sense of what works.

Then things get weirder and more human: a bone stimulator that looks suspiciously like an ankle monitor and allegedly coaxes fractures to heal faster. We dig into the practical side—ultrasound vibes, three-hour sessions, insurance sticker shock, and that head-scratching one-year “shelf life.” Between jokes and doubts, there’s a clear throughline: recovery is a grind, and sometimes you try the odd tool if it might move you from almost-there to back-at-it.

The heart of the episode takes us to Miami for a warm Christmas that trades snow for salt and speed. We hit Key West for parasailing, the Everglades for gators, and the zoo for ancient tortoises that spark a nerdy detour on shell health. Christmas morning, the harbor is ours—wide open for jet skis past Star Island’s mega-mansions and a guide’s celebrity trivia. Dinner at the Versace mansion delivers impeccable vibes, even if the check outperforms the entrée. In between, there are Publix runs, botanical light shows, South Beach walks, and the kind of sibling moments that become family lore.

We wrap with an East Coast wishlist and unapologetic pizza hot takes: New York slices, deep dish loyalty, Detroit’s buttery rectangles, and why extra sauce can rescue leftovers. Threaded through it all is a simple idea: keep building, keep learning, and keep your sense of humor intact. The studio will get sharper. The foot will get stronger. The stories will keep getting better.

If you’re into creative setup hacks, healing experiments that might actually help, and travel memories that don’t airbrush the chaos, hit follow, share this with a friend who needs a laugh, and leave a review with your hottest pizza take. Where should we jet off to next?

Episode Transcript

SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
Ladies and gentlemen, we are live.
Welcome back.
Sorry it's a little bit late,but we had big things planned.
As you can see, we're in the thenew uh high tech studio.
We finally uh made it out of thecloset.
No homo, though.
No longer just filming with thetripod on a chair, sitting on
the floor, really moving up inthe world.
Got the the couch set up,finally got things all hooked

(00:23):
up.
Uh and the exciting thing withthis new setup is we got lots of
room to introduce our ourco-host, the one and only.
Um how do I get this going?
Oh, oh, oh.
She is um a little bit, she'sdrunk on the job.
She's passed out.
Um maybe she'll join us later,but I don't got the Hassan tech

(00:46):
to get her acting in line.
She's vibing hard for now.
Hopefully she doesn't pan toomuch during the day, but we'll
see.
You want to come up?
No?
No?
Okay.
Yep, she's she says she's not onthe clock yet.
She says she's on salary, butmaybe later.
She'll make another surpriseappearance.
Um oh here she is, here she is,she joined.

(01:08):
Ladies and gentlemen, there sheis.
Absolutely you yeah, you are.
Okay.
Oh my goodness, money shot.
Look at the camera.
Yeah, say hi.
Say hi to the fans.
Okay.
Anyways.
I would say that's enough ofthat, but there's never enough.
Anyways, back to the week.

(01:29):
Um, lots to discuss.
This has been fun setting upthis new new setup, hooking up
the camera I got and the mic tothe new computer.
I got this, like, I guess I'llhave to maybe, you know, post
some shit about the the setup.
How do I get this?
I'm still tweaking it.
I don't actually know what I'mdoing, but it's fun, it's a
vibe.
Um we'll call that good for thetime being.

(01:50):
I got this like rolly cart desk,and I like basically clamped on
like uh the a Mac mini that Ibought, and like got a clamp to
hold a monitor on there, and nowI got that with a camera arm and
a light, and now we're a millionbucks rolling.
I don't even know.
This is real professionallooking to me.
We'll see, we'll see.
It's a big big upgrade, at leastfrom the prior weeks or months.

(02:14):
I don't even know how manythere's been, but it's been a
whirlwind to me now.
Progress, baby, one step at atime, you know.
Neil Armstrong, one foot on themoon.
Or wait, I forget the quote.
One small step.
I really was I really butcheredthat the first time around.
One small step for the crew, andyeah, okay, I'm not even.

(02:35):
I was just gonna try to spin itsomehow.
I don't got anything good at themoment, so I'm just gonna stop
before I embarrass myselffurther.
But it's been a busy week,recovered from whatever the hell
I had.
I was out with something.
I just like kept fighting upbeing sick and like kept
sleeping like 12 hour days, uh,and then just still being sick.

(02:56):
I mean, it wasn't like neverhorrible, but it was just like
always on the verge of justfeeling shitty.
So that was kind of an L.
At least it was in the timeswhere you just like feel like
you're gonna die.
Not not a great, not a greatvibe, didn't have to deal with
that.
But feeling pretty good now, youknow, getting ready for the
holiday season.
Um, oh, I don't know how we'regonna keep structuring things,

(03:16):
but I think for our showing offsome of the weekly impulsive
purchases, I think that's maybea good way to start it.
Uh, the main thing we got thisweek is some real exciting
equipment.
It looks like a damn like Idon't even know.
It looks almost like a pit boy,those things, or like some power
bracelet.
Put that thing on.
Yo, ice on the wrist.

(03:37):
Put that on.
It's actually a bone stimulator.
Some shoddy pulled in my houseand give it to me.
After like years, the insurancefinally improved this for my my
broken foot.
Uh oh, that thing went in focus.
You know, this is for free.
I gotta start charging y'all forthat.
Put them on feet finder.
I should do this now.
I think you can just like sleepwith it on.
I think you just like press abutton.

(04:00):
Ortho face.
And it starts booting up andsays something.
Can we get it up and uh get amoney shot?
Oh wow.
Oh, beautiful, nice.
And now it says it's doingsomething, and now I just put it
on my foot basically and see ifit heals my broken foot bones.
Um there.
Like the lady says it's pretty.

(04:21):
I don't think it really matterswhere you put it on.
So I'm just gonna sit with it onthere and hopefully it uh speeds
up the bone healing.
At least they say it will.
So that thing is like I guesshella bands.
I guess insurance should covermost of it once they finally
decide it.

(04:41):
But I feel like they said likethe actual flat cost is like
four grand and some change orsomething crazy.
So I don't know what it does.
They say it's just I think it'sultrasound or some sort of
waves.
Um, but you just sit with it onfor three hours a day, and I
guess it's supposed to help thethe bone grow quicker or

(05:05):
something with it.
I don't I was like, it seemed alittle bit snake oily to me when
they first were talking aboutit.
I guess like at the one of thelast checkups, the doctor's
like, well, actually it was awhile ago now when he first
brought it up, if I would bedown, and I'm like, I mean,
sure, if it works, and like it Ifeel like it was not seeming
like super concrete at first waslooking at it, but I think it it

(05:27):
does help.
Well, it doesn't hurt at least.
So I'm like, well, I'll give ita whirl.
Hopefully you can get it goingsoon.
And then I guess with these, youdo keep them.
So I was like, okay, well, ifI'll just have this bone
stimulator out of hand, if Iever do some dumb stuff again
and break something, I'll be youknow, strep to go, I'll have it
locked and loaded so I can, youknow, get to healing that bone

(05:48):
right away.
So though the one thing is theywhen they dropped it off the
shot, he was like, So it haslike a shelf life of a year, and
I'm like, how does an electronichave a shelf life?
That sounded kind of bizarre tome.
I don't really know.
I don't know if they actuallylike it sounds like I was like
looking more into it, and itsounds like some maybe like

(06:08):
actually like have it, so likethey electronically just like I
don't know if they like just youknow off themselves and like
stop working because there'ssome sort of like chip that
keeps long track of how longit's been.
But that's kind of dumb if itdoes.
I think it's got something thatconnects to your phone, so I
don't know if that helps keeptrack of it.
So I deleted that app, you know.
I'm got that offline um whateverbone stimulator.

(06:33):
Yo second one, the OG bonestimulator is your mom, if you
know what I mean.
But we'll see how this oneworks.
Even if it works half as well,I'll have a new foot by
tomorrow.
Um, yeah, it isn't you can'treally tell anything's going on.
That's what they said.
Like it's just got a light onand it's just there.
If I feel like if I try toreally focus, I think I just

(06:56):
imagine that I'm feelingsomething.
I can't actually tell that it'sdoing anything.
But that's what they said isnormal.
But maybe it'll might get moresore because stuff is like
healing and getting inflamed, soit might be more tender or
something.
But no, I I can't really tellwhat's going on.
It's also like longer than Irealized.
Wearing this thing for threehours a day is kind of a lot.
So I think the most common thingis people just like strap it on

(07:19):
before bed.
It was kind of like I don't knowif I'll stay in the right spot
because I gotta like my brokenpart of my foot is like here,
and so it's like having this onthere.
This actually looks like anankle bracelet too.
Dang, wow, that's that's kind offunny.
Uh make some good clips withthat, but um I slept with it

(07:40):
last night.
I think it stayed on, I don'treally know.
I think I like woke upsemi-early and like kicked it
off at one point, but it waslike after I mean, it turned
turns itself off after threehours, which is nice.
But otherwise, it's kind of along time to be just strapped up
with this.
I don't know why they need oneof those like Normotex.
If you've ever seen those, likethe whole big like leg sleeves

(08:02):
that go over your foot or yourwhole legs, and there's like
compression to massage thembasically.
But did that with theultrasound.
But I don't even know what likethis seems like a like kind of
like a cheap little gadgetlooking thing.
I don't know why it's hellaracks on racks.
Well, luckily I don't have topay that.
But I hope it well, honestly, Ihope it's I don't ever need it

(08:24):
again.
I hope it's just taking up, youknow, closet space, just gunking
that up because I don't want tobreak anything again.
But it's like if I ever need it,I'll keep it on hand.
And if it bricks itself after ayear, I guess I'll try to see if
I can figure out a way to bringit back to life.
The funny thing is that like onthe box, it's like please save
it to recycle.
And the recycling thing is likebasically you just mail them

(08:47):
back to the device.
So like I'm guessing they justlike you know, maybe swap out a
few things and charge someoneelse a few racks for us.
I'm like, hell no, I'm notrecycling it that way.
I'll hang on to this, see what Ican do with it later on down the
road.
Hopefully I don't need it, butI'll keep it.
I'm not gonna mail it back, youknow.
You can figure it out because Idon't know why.
Although I think I when I wasGoogling about it, like someone

(09:09):
maybe didn't use theirs orsomeone was like trying to like
sell it.
And I mean, I guess that's atechnically like insurance fraud
or something.
And maybe some of these placesgot people that just like track
them down.
I don't know how that works.
So they got some like uh eBaynarcs where they like you know
get sting operations, we'll buyit, and then you know, just send
the SWAT.
I actually don't know howillegal that is or not.

(09:29):
I mean, I don't plan on uhbootlegging my bone simulator.
I'm more just you know want tobe able to use it again if I
break some other shit becauseyou know I'd be steady on that
head-ass grind and who knowswhat could happen.
We'll see, we'll see though.
Um it just feel I'm trying toI'm still I'm really trying to
like tell if I can feelsomething, and I think it's just

(09:51):
all like placebo.
Like if I feel like if I'mtrying to match something in the
other foot going on, I can'ttell.
Like I think it's just like whenyou try so hard to tell the
difference, but like I canmaybe, but also then like some
of it could even just be likethe feeling of like the strap,
although it doesn't really straI can't strap it on super tight,
and I don't think it matters howtight it is.

(10:13):
I don't yeah, I don't know, butwe just got it on there and
we're gonna see.
Although this point it's been solong that I I kinda hope it's
basically already healed.
Because yeah, it's going on.
If it was it was the 5th ofJuly, it's because it was the
day after the 4th, running thatfateful evening and just tripped
up like right before I was aboutto stop.

(10:35):
Bad times, bad times, so yeah.
What is that?
That's exactly five.
Wait, can I do math?
Well it's December, but thatdoesn't mean it's wait, so it's
been July, August, September,October.
Okay.
I'm just um it's been it's beenfour.
Wait.
I'm struggling.
I'm tired right now.

(10:56):
I'm not even gonna, I'm notgonna worry about it at this
point.
But yeah, I just want to, youknow, be able to do more.
I mean, yeah, I'd like to dosome more runs and eventually
race again.
That'd be fun.
Do some races, some racy races.
Cause I mean, I guess I've keptbusy.
I mean, being cooped up is whyI'm here right now.

(11:16):
I'm just going a little bit stircrazy, seeing what happens.
But it's been fun.
It's been fun.
Honestly, I'm so hyped to havethis set up now.
It feels like realprofessionally, maybe gotta get
more back drops up.
I don't know.
I don't know what the what I'mdoing.
Even got like a not a ringlight, but some backlight.
So it's actually there's nolights on in the this crib, but

(11:36):
I got the backlight and it seemspretty uniform.
I don't know.
There's any lighting pros outthere, let me know what I should
do better.
But I got this thing justpointed at the ceiling and it
seems to work.
Can't complain.
Oh, I spooked you.
This girl is she's she tweaksout at lots of stuff.
Let's see if I can I can zoomout a little bit more.
And then if I yeah, there we go.

(12:02):
I'll put it up a little bit.
So when you pop up in the frame.
Oh yeah, she's she's chilling.
Oh you can even see the the deskin that angle.
Wow.
Crazy.
Movie star.
I don't know how often she'llbe, you know uh joining us.
She's got a pretty busyschedule.

(12:22):
She's gonna spend most of theday, you know, just laying in
bed and you know, counting uhsheep, or I guess I don't know.
I don't know what you'd count.
You like maybe bunnies?
I don't know.
Are you interested in them?
You like chasing crows, thattoo, squirrels sometimes.
I don't know.
But yeah, no, she's she's cashedout.
I'll we'll go back up to theregular view.

(12:46):
And if she she comes back in,she does.
Bless us.
Actually, okay, you she'll syou'll see her if she comes back
in.
Um but no Christmas seasoncoming up.
That that wintery time of year.
Oh, that's a good story.
I I think I'm just, you know,chilling with family this year,

(13:07):
but last year uh I ended updragging my sister to go explore
Miami.
That was that was an experience.
That was a lot of fun.
I mean, I feel like I've alwaysjust, you know, actually, you
know what I really had to do islike you know, I had to scout
out Miami so I knew all thespots before GTA 6 drops.
That's actually what I feel likeI did for GTA 5.

(13:28):
Like, I mean, playing that formost of like I mean the goddamn
middle school and all of highschool, and then moving to LA
for a few years for school.
Like when I got there, I'm like,whoa, this is all exactly like
GTA, what the hell?
So that's what I got.
I was like, you know, I gottaget the get some you know,
practice and get some reps inbefore GTA 6 drops.
So it's it's taking this time,so I might have to do another

(13:49):
trip back and really get thelayout.
But it was something I guesswhile I wanted to go, I think I
also had like some like I didsome like credit card sign-up
bonus because I was on that thatcredit card game trying to like
get all these sign up things toyou know get all the the free
shit as long as you you knowmake some money off of it, as
long as you don't ever likecarry debt.
Don't do that, guys.

(14:10):
Do not um whatchamacallit, don'tdon't, don't ever not pay off
your credit card fully becausethe interest rates on that you
are absolutely getting yourbooty hole stretched open, it's
not not worth it.
Um but uh yeah, I basically dida bunch of credit cards.
Honestly, started off like a fewyears ago.

(14:33):
Honestly, I had no credit.
I like tried everything, appliedfor everything, was always just
instantly rejected because I hadno credit, but eventually had to
do some like secured card andbuild up and then got it.
And then it was so eventually itwas some some Marriott card
where I got like a bunch of freenights.
Some people like I guess youcould like theoretically get
some like Bogie S resort in likethe Maldives or the Seychelles.

(14:56):
I don't know, I forget.
But I was like looking at it, itwas like 20 some hours of
flights and also like thousandsof dollars of flights.
I'm like, okay, uh, I ain'tracked up like that.
Uh sorry, I mean it'd be it'd becool, and I guess this probably
is like the best way to use it,but I'm like, yeah, I want to
check out Miami.
So I ended up bringing my sisterwith me to, you know, come along

(15:18):
for an adventure.
It wasn't I feel like there'smore checked out, shout out some
of the clubs.
Like I wanted to see space,although I guess we were there
for actual Christmas because itended up being cheaper to like
fly there and like do some ofthe stuff then than actually uh
if we well, I guess we came likebefore Christmas and left after,

(15:39):
like a few days after.
Because that was like thecheapest time to travel and buy
the flight stuff.
My parents didn't really care.
We just celebrated Christmasafter.
But what all did we do?
Like there was some stuff that Iwant to do, like check out like
space that we didn't quite do,but we did a lot.
I kept it it kept it prettybusy, and we stayed in like
South Beach, and that's kind ofcool to check out the beach.
Although I will say I've beenspoiled by spending lots of time

(16:01):
in Hawaii, like in the Pacific,the South, Southeast Pacific,
close to the equator.
I don't even know.
Is Hawaii above the equator?
I think so, but it's morefurther south than latitude or
longitude.
I actually do not remember whichone's which, that's
embarrassing.
I always forget, and I feel likeI at one point like was
confident that I knew what theywere, and then realized I had

(16:22):
spent my whole life thinking thewrong thing.
And at this point, I just haveno idea, so I'm not even gonna
guess.
One of them, it's more souththough, so it's way warmer
there, but yeah, no, like whenthe water, it was I don't know
if it's better or worse thanwhen I went to like the a Cali
beach for the first time, andlike you know, there's all the
songs, you know, Katie PerryCalifornia girls makes you want
to, you know, go run on thebeach, yeah, jump in at like

(16:45):
Santa Monica.
And I'm like, yo, this is coldas hell.
It's probably not as bad asthat, honestly.
It's it's better than betterthan it's a west coast beaches
in terms of water temperature,but it's still still a bit
nipply, but it was it was fun tocheck out South Beach.
Um, where else would we go?
Oh, we went to Key West.
We did like some like bus tripdown for a day.

(17:06):
Wanted to check that out.
Honestly, I was kind ofunderwhelmed.
I felt a little bit spoiled.
I mean, it was still fun, but Ifeel like other like Hawaii
tropical places are kind of moreof a vibe, and also the water, I
was hoping it'd be warmer, itwas still pretty cold.
I was, I mean, I'm still kind ofa bitch, but I was like, uh it
was cool though.
The cool part is going down toKey West when you're on this

(17:28):
like giant bridge just overwater, whatever.
It's like seven-mile bridge orsomething.
I don't know if that's the rightname or if I just totally pulled
that out of my ass.
But that was it was a cool driveon like this double decker bus,
like looking out from the top.
So I think it was like mainlyyou drive down there for the
day, and then we had like a fewhours, so we went to the beach.
Oh, what we did there though isI guess I I don't even know.

(17:51):
I don't think my sister reallywanted to plan, and I had like
lots of stuff that I wasinterested in, so I became the
impromptu travel guide andbooked basically everything, and
she was just like along for theride, and I think she definitely
regretted this decision prettyshortly into it.
Um, so I guess maybe justrewind.
I'm trying to think what we didthe first day because I think we

(18:12):
went to QS the second day, yes.
Okay, I guess to to take y'allthrough it.
So we we flew into Miami thefirst uh night, and then I think
the the first thing we didbecause I wanted to go to
Publix.
I always heard people talk aboutit.
I was like, wow, I just need togo to Publix for no specific
reasons, see what the the theregional grocery store is, you
know, take a look around, youknow, it was about what I

(18:32):
expected.
It was a grocery store, it wasfun, but now it's like I've been
to one.
Now that's off the list.
Um, where else did we go afterthat?
I don't know if we did anythingthat night.
I think we got food.
I'm trying to remember where wewent to eat.
Now I'm totally blanking.
I feel like there was somethinggood.
Who knows?
But I don't think it was thatmemorable that night.
Then we, you know, basicallywent to bed and then had to get

(18:55):
up stupid early to catch thisbus down to Key West.
I don't know how many.
It's like a is it a five-hourdrive?
I don't know if that's too long.
It it's it's at least three orfour hours, I want to say.
Could be five hours.
I don't remember.
It was a long bus ride and hadto get up at like six, or maybe
the bus picked us up at six, Idon't remember.

(19:15):
And bust down.
They stopped on McDonald's onthe way.
First time I'd been toMcDonald's in a long time.
I don't even think I gotanything, did I?
Actually, I maybe did.
I think I maybe got some likebiscuit chicken sandwich.
It was surprisingly good.
Which made myself eat normallynever eat breakfast, but you
know, I was like, you know, whenin Miami we're gonna really get
wild and eat breakfast.
I mainly did it, I guess,because my sister eats more

(19:38):
regular schedule, so I was like,well, I don't want to be the
weirdo that's just sitting here.
Although I kind of regret it,because then it's like once I go
from out eating breakfast toeating breakfast, then it's like
I do get hungry in the morningand it's having breakfast is
such a pain and like having toeat regularly.
So inconvenient, so nice when Ijust like forget and then like
we'll just eat like a a wholeHalf a cow for dinner and not be

(20:02):
like because I feel like when Ieat a lot, then it's like
irregularly, then it's like youlike count on it, and it's like
uh you start to like guess Iwould want to take a nap and
when you get hungry, but had toreadjust post Miami, but we ate
good.
But so we went to Key West, wewent to some like there's like
some point because it's like thesouthernmost part of the US,

(20:23):
they got some buoy.
Although it's kind of funny thatthe buoy is like this is the
southernmost part of the US, andyou can see parts of the island
like a little ways down that areclearly more south than this,
and it's like I don't know ify'all don't know your
directions.
Maybe, maybe this is, but uh, ifyou look at the map, it really
makes it look like that's not.
But it was so crowded there, andI'm like, why is this part so
crowded?
It's like, I mean, it'sinteresting, it's kind of cool

(20:45):
uh that it this is like thesouthernmost point.
But I don't know why there'ssuch crowds, like people like
lined up for like two blocksjust to take a picture with it.
And I was like, I climbed upsome bench and just took a
picture of it, and I'm like,yeah, that's good.
But what we did do, there's lotsof cool stuff though, I think,
in the keys, like just scubadiving that I'd like to check
out, and maybe some more stuffthrough like the mangroves or

(21:06):
something.
You can do like kayak tours.
But what we did do was parasail.
I did I did see that they haveskydiving, and that looked kind
of interesting, but it was likea ways away from where we were
actually at, and it'd not befeasible to get there and back
to the bus in time.
So parasailing was theconsolation prize, but actually,

(21:27):
well, it was cool to go up.
It was honestly, I'd never doneit before and always kind of
wanted to.
Um and I like it was like higherup than I thought it would be.
It was like 300 feet up in theair, getting dragged behind this
boat, so it's kind of cool tosee the islands from that high,
but it's honestly like like notit wasn't like uh some
adrenaline rush, it was likeboring in that sense.
It was kind of like I mean itwas it wasn't boring, but it was

(21:50):
boring if you're expecting to belike some like thrill ride.
It's kind of just like floatingaround and kind of like you were
I felt like I was a kite.
I mean, I guess I was.
Um, but it's like in tandem, some and my little sister were
just like you know, strapped upto this big old sail, just
floating around and just kind ofsitting looking around.
I think it went really quick.

(22:11):
I think you're up there for 10minutes, although I guess I was
chilling.
She wasn't, I was like, oh whatthe heck?
We're already done that wentquick, and she's like, No, it
didn't.
So that was kind of funny.
But that got some lobster rollor something.
It's decent, expensive as hell,though, and then took the bus
ride back.
I think there was somethingyeah, they had it, they had
officers on a horse, and thatwould threw me off.

(22:32):
I did not, I was like, are we inare we in Canada?
That's what I think of like themounted police there, them on
their horses, but it was likethis this cop on a horse in Key
West, and I was like, what thehell?
But I guess it's a thing.
The thing like pulled up to somebar window or restaurant, I
don't know.
And the horse like pop his headin, it's kind of funny.
It was cool though.
So I don't know if that's justthe thing they got in Key West.

(22:54):
I don't know if there's othermounted police there, but that
that was not what I expected tosee down there.
Um, but yeah, that was the mainthing that we did there.
I guess we went to the beach atsome Air Force base or
something.
That was oh, I remember seeingsomething interesting there.
I guess like random Floridathings like this lady had a a
rooster on a leash, you know, acock on a string, whatever you

(23:14):
want to do.
That was interesting.
I don't know where she wastaking it, but it was walking it
on the beach.
That was kind of funny.
Hadn't seen that one before.
That was unique.
Didn't see anyone, you know,come running into the the the
gas station with the alligator.
I was hoping for that.
That would have been that wouldhave been memorable, but we were
not so lucky, unfortunately.
But maybe next time, maybe nexttime.
Just you know, lots of lots oftime in the future to go see

(23:38):
what Miami men get into mischiefin the the local 7-Eleven.
So we got the back pretty latethat night because it was just
like a bus ride back for fivehours.
Um I don't think we did anythingexciting.
And then next day, where did wego?
I think the next day we maybewent to the Everglades.
That was interesting.
I didn't know the Everglades waslike basically just like a giant

(24:01):
river through like all ofFlorida where it's like just
slowly flowing through thegrass.
It's just super wide.
Um, and we got to see like somesmall alligators.
They weren't like as terrifyingand massive as I thought they
might be.
So it's like, dang.
I want them to be jumping at theboat, trying to flip us over,
get us to knock in, really makeit a exciting trip.

(24:23):
But they're just like littleones chilling.
They did have some gator showwhere some guy did something.
He's like grabbed some like Idon't know if they're like
rescue gators or something,whatever that word means.
And doing tricks with them,getting them to snap their jaws
and stuff.
I don't really know.
Got to hold a baby alligator.
Um it's kind of lame though.

(24:44):
I had his mouth tape shut.
I wanted it to be snapping.
I was like, I want to see it,you know, flashing his teeth for
the pick.
That would have been that wouldhave been a money shot for real,
you know.
I want to see those pearlywhites.
I don't need this duct tape overthe mouth.
That's kind of lame.
I feel like they charged you forthat too, which is also kind of
lame.
There are things I think thatlike you could do that with that
or a snake.
And I tried to get a uh asibling Christmas card picture

(25:07):
for my parents of me with thecrocodile and her with the
snake, and she's not a fan ofsnakes, so she refused, she ran
away.
It was heartbreaking.
My mom missed a greatopportunity, although she's also
equally probably actually moreso afraid of snakes, or just
gives the heebie jeebies by themfor whatever reason.
I mean, I guess I get that alittle bit.
They are kind of creepy, andsome things definitely do, but I

(25:30):
don't really know what does themost.
I mean, I feel like some thingsthat are snaky are kind of
weird, but I feel like a leech,I feel like that's seems even
grosser to me than uh a snake.
I don't know if you've seen themor ever gonna like I guess it's
mainly like going fishing withthem.
They're like just like squirmyand they're black and you don't
got eyes, so they seem sosoulless, like some dang like
horror creep animal creature,something, some monster, but

(25:53):
like I guess like maybe likeswarms of them seems like it'd
be like some horror movie, likepiranha leeches if you jump in
some lake.
Wow.
Maybe that's gonna be the nextshitty horror movie.
I should make that, you know,call up studio, get cooking on
that.
Leech Lake.
I think that is a name of anactual lake somewhere in the
Midwest.
I feel like I've heard thatbefore.
I was gonna say that, but maybeyou gotta come up with a

(26:14):
different name.
Loch Leech, like Loch Net.
I don't know.
Leech Lake's kind of a good one.
Like Lake Placid.
I still remember that when I wasIs that it?
Was that what it's called?
I don't know.
Some like horror movie wherethere's like a monster
crocodile.
I remember watching that as achild the first time.
I feel like it was like thefirst proper like gore horror

(26:35):
movies that I'd seen.
But nothing, nothing too crazyin the Everglades that day.
I think we just yeah took a boatright there and checked them
out.
Um what we did do.
I don't think it was I losetrack of the exact days.
No, we went to Ki West like thefirst thing, and then Everglades

(26:57):
maybe the next day, although itcould have been a few days
later.
Actually, I think what we did umactually I have no idea.
Or it doesn't matter.
So I went to the Everglades,that was one part of it.
Another day that we did, uh wewent to the Miami Zoo to check
that out.
And they have some I think theyhave Eldabra tortoises, not
Galapagos, which I also have, soI had to check them out.

(27:20):
I gotta do my like inspection ofevery zoo to see how they got
their their you know littlecrater set up, their turtles,
and like uh see what they'redoing.
Um it was pretty cheap,honestly.
It was like this experiencewhere you actually got to go in
the turtle pen and it was, Ifeel like it was like 20 bucks.
I feel like it was way cheaperthan I would have expected for
some sort of like, you know, oneof those VIP zoo experiences

(27:43):
that are normally like prettytax.
But the Miami Zoo was actuallyyou know very affordable and got
to go in and talk with thesezookeepers about uh you know
what they do.
And a lot of the time I'm alwayslike these people actually don't
know that much about theturtles, which is always like
kind of crazy.
Like they'll like quiz you andI'm like I'll say the answer,

(28:04):
and they're like nope, it'sactually this.
I'm like, no, it ain't ho.
Like I feel like some of thethings like their shell stuff
being like getting pyramided orbumpy, they say oh it's
nutrition, but I'm pretty sureit's not.
At least from what I've seen, Ifeel like in my own personal
research, which you know, takewith a grain of salt, it seems
and I've you know done whatpeople have said.

(28:25):
Uh the main thing for that seemsto be humidity.
If you like raise like babyturtles and something really
dry, their shells get all likewarped looking.
But if it's like really humidand like jungly and tropical,
they seem to come out muchsmoother.
So some guy like some tortoisebreed in Arizona that talked
about that lots, and I was like,Well, this seems compelling.
And then all the yeah, I feellike I've talked about this

(28:46):
before, but all the Cali, other,you know, southwest US, you
know, turtles that grew upthere, they all kind of other
than like the native ones, likeget all these like real wonky,
like Lego looking shells withall these like pyramids and
grooves.
But also the thing like the zootalked about like they were like
they were like sanding them downon the turtle.
And I don't I don't know why,because like I noticed like

(29:07):
these these tortoises had likebig like like epoxy patches on
their shell, like these likeglossy things.
I'm like, what is that?
And they're like, Oh, we've beenlike trying to like get rid of
their like shell spikes orwhatever.
And I didn't I didn't ask why,but that just kind of like
rubbed like seemed like not goodto me.
Like, I don't know if there'ssome other reason that I can

(29:29):
think of for that, but I thinkit's normally I mean, like, once
it's there, it's kind ofcosmetic, and like their shell
is like all bone, like it's notit is like stuff that like
feels, so I don't quite knowwhat they're doing.
Like, there's like a characterlayer on top, but I think like
when it's like actualpyramiding, it's actually like
the bone too that is like kindof like malformed, so I don't

(29:49):
know why they were doing that.
Like, maybe for like breeding,but also was not major, and also
I feel like at that point it'sprobably not gonna be you know a
lot of breeding happening.
But it was cool to see him andfeed the dude.
I don't know if we've had theturtles.
I take that.
I don't know that actually didfeed my own turtles though, but
it's fun to pet these old onesthat are like really hundred

(30:09):
years old and you know, justkind of little dinosaurs.
They're always fun to see.
Oh, they did also have theirtigers and set up like a
Christmas Godzilla.
That was pretty fun.
Had the tiger fight theGodzilla, although I think they
they made like a snow machine inbubbles, and I think that was
actually scaring the tiger sothey like we're hiding, and that
was actually prettyentertaining.
They turned it off, and thenthey had like this Godzilla and

(30:29):
like some skyscrapers.
Um uh and then the tiger justwent full twin towers on them
because I think they had somelike treats in it, and the
godzilla's like smacking it,trying to eat them open.
It's kind of entertaining.
But like walked in the zoo,that's kind of like the front
thing that we walked into, andlike, what is going on?
Then I watched the tiger justjump out.
I'm like, oh that's sick.

(30:49):
I would definitely theydefinitely need to do more.
It's like almost like someColosseum fights, you know.
That'd be some something fun.
We need some you know, hungergames, gladiator fights.
Oh, you don't gotta kick thehell out of me because you're
stretching.
She's actually such a divasometimes, she'll just like roll
over and just like aggressivelylike slab me.

(31:10):
I mean, I don't she's notintentional.
Although sometimes it does feelintentional, just for no reason,
it'll be like totally still.
Um the zoo, yeah.
I gotta see that.
And then oh, I wanted to go towalk through, not I was gonna
say USCU Miami.
I wanted to check that out.
It looks so pretty.
Honestly, that campus isbeautiful, and wanted to go

(31:32):
there, and then also there seetheir med school, because I
thought about that at one point.
But the U Miami main campus waslike super sick.
I was like, dang, I want to gohere, even though I'm like unk
status.
But shit, I'd I'd pull uh uhwhat the heck is her name?
Abella Danger, you know, join afrat.
That's actually no, I don't wantto do that, but I kind of get

(31:53):
it.
It looks it'd probably be fun.
Uh the campus is also super lakein the middle of it, and like
this bougios thing.
I think that's where is that isit the building?
I don't know.
I think that's maybe where likethe gods playing music video
was.
I think it was in Miami.
I feel like it might have beenother that or maybe in LA.
I don't know, but I feel like itcould be one of the buildings
where Drake would be, you know,getting Swifty up on that

(32:16):
building where he's like overfor like all the people.
I don't know.
It was it was a cool campusthough.
And then walked from the ohyeah, that was part of the the
many adventures that my sisterwas like maybe not so glad she
let me plan everything apartfrom first the parasailing.
I'm like, oh yeah, shoddy buckleup, we're gonna go parasailing.
This thing also, like I was liketrying to like take less Ubers,

(32:40):
and we walked from like thecampus to some like garden where
they had some like Christmaslights in the evening.
That was actually honestlypretty sick, it was kind of fun.
They had like all these likecrazy light shows and these like
jungles of this like arboretumand like botanical gardens.
It was pretty fun, but we had tolike walk like five miles
through like the suburbs ofMiami, some pretty nice areas.

(33:00):
It reminded me of some like theLA suburbs.
I'm like, this is this is prettynice, you know.
Seeing all those people havetheir I think it was Christmas
Eve that we did this, I'm prettysure, yeah.
Because like seeing all thosepeople have their Christmases, I
was like, yo, can I can we popin, get a plate to eat?
I was kind of tempted on a fewof them because it looked like
they were eating good throughthe window, and I was like,
dang.
It also got a little bit dark,and we walked a lot that day.

(33:21):
I was in flip-flops.
She luckily wore her tennies.
I mean, I was fine, I was I waschilling.
No problem with flip-flops forme, but she was like, I'm very
glad I brought my tennies.
I was like, Yeah, I didn'treally give you a heads up.
I didn't really register thatthis is kind of a lot to uh be
walking in a day.
But you know, it was part of thegrind.
You save save on the theChristmas Uber expenses, but

(33:42):
then we did we did eventuallytake it back from the garden,
but the garden is actuallypretty cool.
I don't remember what it wascalled.
Some sort of I don't know, oneof those, you know, Christmas
light shows in like gardens orparks or botanical gardens,
things like that.
They had some food trucks, so Ifeel like there's something I
got.
I think I got just some likeactually it was like some like

(34:02):
diabetic acai bowl where I hadlike hella Nutella on it, and
I'm like, this doesn't look likea typical acai bowl with like
it's real fruity, but it lookspretty like sinfully good, and
that was that was actually quitegood.
It was like just basically likea chocolate Nutella acai bowl is
like kind of like a Sunday, butcouldn't complain about it.
I think that was actually thefirst time I've ever had Nutella

(34:23):
in Asae.
I've occasionally seen it since,but that was kind of good.
They also had some like bougiechocolates that are pretty good.
But yeah, I think that wasmostly that day.
Christmas Day was fun.
We started that one off of abang, so on Christmas morning I
signed us up for well actually,I mean I think I planned out

(34:43):
everything, like maybe like theday before we left or like
booked it all.
I mean, uh Christmas morning wewent uh jet skiing in the like
harbor.
That was that was that was a lotof fun, honestly.
Especially because it wasChristmas morning.
Uh there was nobody out there,just us just fucking booling
around on some jet skis.
Uh, and this is the first timeI've ever driven a jet ski.

(35:06):
That's it was pretty fun.
Uh although I don't think mysister had a good time because
she was just hanging on for dearlife on the back.
But basically started off, itwas like the where we meet you
for the jet skis was like a fewblocks from our hotel.
Like, I didn't had no idea whatit was.
I signed up and I just well, itwas like weird.
I couldn't tell what the hell itwas.
Like, it was like one of thoseconfusing booking things.

(35:26):
It was like the site is like, Idon't know if I just gave my
credit card to someone in likeIndia or what this if this is
real or not.
Because it was like, we'll textyou an address on the morning
of, and I'm like, okay.
And I did get a text orsomething where to go.
Then I was like kind of likewalking there pretty early in
the morning on Christmas.
I mean, I think there was otherstuff that we did do that day

(35:47):
that we wanted to go check out.
Uh but eventually found it.
Uh well, it took me like Iwalked past it a short time.
It was like some like janklittle like warehouse that you
walked in.
It was kind of like crusty, andlike these two dudes, and
they're like, Oh, you whatever.
And I'm like, or at first itlike seemed like, What are you
doing here?
I'm like, Oh, I'm I'm here, I'vegot a reservation or whatever

(36:08):
you call it.
I booked a jet ski ride around,you know.
I was like, Oh yeah, we got you,we'll get you right.
And then felt like we were liketaking some like jank trip to
the jet skis where we basicallyhad to walk through some like
jank parts of the harbor and getto some like floating dock where
the jet skis were.
Uh, and they were they're inrough shape.

(36:29):
It was all a little bitsketched, but um, it seemed like
it chill do it.
I'm like, well, this will befun, and then basically got in
the harbor and basically foundlike took the jet skis up to the
Star Island where all the allthe you know celebrity houses,
there's Diddy's houses that wegot to see, the Scarface house.
Well, actually he couldn't seeDiddy's house, so they're
basically pulled up, he's like,Yep, Diddy's been paying like

(36:51):
some exorbitant amount in finesevery year for having this wall
up.
Because I guess this island wasbuilt to you know just flex on
everyone have their celebrityhouses, you know, on display,
but Diddy build some giant walland skin fined to hell for
having it.
And it's like we didn't know whyhe did that until you know
recently, and I'm like, oh damn,unfortunate.
Well, I mean, I don't know,yeah, not good.

(37:14):
But I think there's likeScarface, Scarface House, some
other ones.
I think does Rick Ross live onStar Island?
I feel like I've seen clips ofpeople like just getting by him,
but or his like crib.
But it was it was kind of fun towhip that around there, and then
this is just like empty harbor,just like floor it through
there.

(37:34):
Uh I had a lot of fun, honestly.
My sister was screaming, and shetold me that, yeah, she said she
didn't never again is basicallythe the extent of it.
But it was it was a good startto Christmas, although like we
kind of got towards the edge ofthe harbor where like the the
waves are coming in, and it'spretty like honestly, they were
tiny waves, but like youdefinitely became like much more

(37:56):
like uh on the jet ski, and Ithink the guys had a look at my
sister's face because she wasscreaming, he's like, Okay,
let's go back.
And I was like, damn,unfortunate.
But I got me thinking, like,wow, open ocean jet skiing has
got to be a trip.
And I guess you can do thisthing where you just take jet
ski from Miami to the Bahamas, Ithink.

(38:18):
I think that's Rhode Island.
I mean, I guess they're all likein that area, but I think the
Bahamas on this close is like 60miles and maybe like four hours
of jet skiing in the open ocean.
I think you actually have tohave some like boat come with
you to actually like give youthe extra gas you need.
Oh, yeah, that was another jankpart of this, like halfway
through with like my jet ski islike beeping because it was like
running out of gas.
Like, oh, it'll be fun.

(38:39):
And I'm like, all right, if yousay so.
I guess worst case, I'm justgonna have to swim to Diddy's
house, but we didn't have to,luckily, thank god.
I mean, who knows?
Even if we got there, we'dprobably just fall off the dock
as too covered up in baby oil.
But, you know, we made it back,you know, barely running on
fumes, got to this floatinglittle dock and got back off.
And sister was kissing the landwhen we got there, but it was it

(39:02):
was a fun start of the day.
I think most of it, actually, Ithink I just like want to run
the beach after that, SouthBeach, and checked out maybe
some parks.
My sister just like cashed outin the hotel room.
I think she ended up she inbetween every event, she just
would totally like just totallypass out on the bus.
And like my mom got us some likelittle those like disposable
cams before we went.

(39:22):
She wanted some like cute littlewhatever, like not Polaroid, but
you know, those canon icon,whatever.
I don't know, the cheap littleplastic ones, and like half of
my pictures were just my sisterjust totally passed out, like
either in the bus or like theUber or anytime like we were
like stopped back at the hotelfor stuff.
I was like, you know, oh youleaving us.
Well, we're no longer blessed,but it's been real.

(39:46):
Um and it turns out she had somelike crazy infection, like where
her mouth was just like straightpussy when we got home.
I'm like, that is disgusting.
I'm I don't actually know how Ididn't get sick.
Because I definitely ate lots ofher leftover food.
I think like the first night Ifelt sore throat and I was like,
oh no, I might be like gettingsick.

(40:07):
And then that never came,nothing came of it.
I you know fought it off.
You know, my immune system, youknow, got the dub on that one.
And she was like continuouslytanking.
And by the time we got home, shewas she was in a rough shape and
she just like slept for like 48hours.
So she did she was a trooper,she made it through a lot.
Granted, she was growing somewhatever, I don't even know,
some mutated bioweapon in herdamn throat.

(40:29):
So that was unfortunate for hersake.
But I think she just napped,honestly, for the afternoon.
I just like meandered aroundlike South Beach in that
neighborhood, walked up to someof the other areas, checked it
out.
You know, I don't think there'stoo anything too eventful for
that.
But for our Christmas dinner, wegot a reservation at the the

(40:50):
Versace mansion, you know, hadto represent um check that out.
Honestly, I mean it was actuallythe the house was pretty sick.
It has like this cool fountainin it.
Honestly, waiting for our table,even with a reservation took
forever.
But you had it's kind of likethis bougie lobby, which is kind
of cool.
Um, and I guess my sister washyped because she took a shit in

(41:12):
the Versace mansion.
She's like, Wow, this is the thebougiest dump I've ever taken.
I'm like, Well, I didn't need toknow that, but I mean, go off,
girl, I guess.
It was pretty good vibes,though, in there, and just it
was a long time just awaitingthough.
I got kind of hungry, and butthe like in the main restaurant
part, it was it was pretty cool.

(41:32):
There's like big like pool andfountain.
And I guess because we were justlike a small group of just two
people, we got some like littletable right by the water of this
thing, so that's kind of sick.
Although I will say, like, theit was kind of like one of those
joints where like the food, Imean, it was good, but honestly,
like mid for what you're payingfor.
So that's kind of like an L, butit was still fun Christmas
vibes, still, still good times.

(41:54):
I feel like there's some oh mygoodness, it was it was it's
hilarious.
It was like one of those likebougie desserts where they like
pour some sort of like flamingthing on, like some chocolate
ball and it melts.
And the guy was like, Mysister's trying to take a
picture of the dessert, and hewas assumed she was trying to
like record it and he was tryingto time it with her, and like
they were both like, Oh, you go,no, you go, or whatever.

(42:15):
I don't even know.
It was just like painful towatch, like the lack of
coordination, and then I thinkshe even missed it after he's
trying to like pause severaltimes for her to get it done,
but that was all good.
But that was that was a wrap onChristmas.
I think the main things were youknow just skiing around Diddy's
house and no dinner at theVersace mansion.
It was it was just all Christmasof 2024.

(42:36):
Is that what it is?
Shit, we're coming up about2026.
I feel like I think I couldstill try to write 2023 on some
things at this point, but time'sfine when you're having fun, I
suppose, whatever they say.
Uh I'm trying to think there wasanything other than like me
really memorable.
Because yeah, I thinkEverglades, the zoo, see the

(42:58):
turtles, you Miami, Diddy'shouse.
Didn't get in though.
Um, and the Versace Mansion.
I think it was the uh the mainthing because then flew back.
I don't know if there was any.
Oh, we didn't go to Winwood,that was pretty sick.
They got like all the graffitithere.
That was that was cool, youknow.
They got some like like museumof it where all these like

(43:19):
graffiti walls, but theneighborhood itself is honestly
pretty nice.
I looked it around there a lot,and then Little Cuba got some
pretty fire uh Cuban sandwichfrom some restaurant, I forget
the name of it, but it was itwas a good vibe.
I don't know if there was likesome other like fancy dessert
place that we tried out, but alot of good food there.

(43:41):
I'd like to go back.
Could definitely crash there fora while.
You know, take a jet ski to theBahamas, just you know, go
pirate to the Caribbean,Caribbean, however you say that,
on jet skis, that would be sick.
How far even are all thoseislands?
Like they're all likesurprisingly close.
Like there's like Jamaica andCuba and Puerto Rico.

(44:04):
Go like join the gang wars inHaiti.
Are the Haiti and the Dominicanon the same island?
I think so.
Love all the Dominican memes,those are kind of entertaining.
But yeah, that was that was asolid Christmas trip.
I don't think we got anything onthe deck this year, and I don't
think I could convince her to doanything again.
Maybe, maybe she'll runsomething back sometime, but not

(44:27):
if there's any uh moreadventureful activities like jet
skiing or parasiling again, Idon't think.
I think she's out on that.
I think she'll definitely uhtake more initiative on the
planning, but it was memorable.
What can I say?
You know, she can remember muchmore of that one, so she should
thank me for that part of it.
I don't know where else I wantto go.

(44:47):
There's lots of cool, cool USplaces to check out because I
I've really never been to theEast Coast that much.
I'd like to check out New Yorkagain.
I feel like I went in like highschool, and it was only through
like probably like the super popand like touristy places where
it's also kind of like dirty.
And I just remember like thiscreate this, like this John's
just stinks, and there's likekind of a lot going on and did

(45:07):
not think it was that fun.
But I feel like as an adult, I'dlike to like revisit and like
see what it's all about.
I got some friends that I gottacheck out, like show me around
the big Apple dog.
I feel like there are placeslike I want to go get yo, I want
to get something the Akiway froma deli.
I didn't have see some stuffabout it there recently.

(45:29):
I did not realize pastrami waslike that, like juicy send me
this brisket.
I feel like I always heardpeople like gassing up the
pastrami's there from the delis,and I'm like, nah, did not see
how that sounded so great.
Like I was thinking of like thecharcuterie board pastrami was
like super cured, and I'm like,I mean it's good, but a whole
sandwich of that sounds likeaggressive.
But now I'm like got somepastrami like from New York

(45:50):
delis popping up in myalgorithm, and now I just want
to go eat there.
Or the Akiway guy.
Actually, I don't really knowthat I want to eat what he
wants, what he's making.
I don't even know what what doesthe Akiway even mean?
It's just like extremelyexcessive amount of stuff you've
just thrown on there.
I still want to order somethingand be like, yo, give it to me
the Akiway dog, and then justwatch him like put like I don't

(46:11):
know, enough like random shit tolike give like 30 grown men
diabetes and put them all indire need of a triple bypass.
But I just gotta do it for theone time.
Oh, there's like the serendipityplace or something with some
bougie like frozen hot chocolateor something.
Actually, I remember because Ifeel like they have some like
bougie like gold coveredSundays, but I think they're

(46:33):
like famous for some like frozenhot chocolate.
I don't even know what is frozenhot chocolate.
Is that just a milkshake?
Is that just like the thegourmet way to say milkshake?
Is there something that'sinherently different?
I've hear that and I don't know,or is it like a frappe
frappuccino?
I don't know.
I don't know if Starbucks lingo,you know, like the the icy

(46:53):
chocolate stuff.
I think that's or like they callit blended sometimes at places.
I don't actually know what stuffis called, but that's something
that's allegedly good there.
Or pizza.
Although, I mean I honestly I dofuck with a good New York pizza,
but I'm still like yo deep dishdie hard.
I guess is that Chicago?

(47:14):
I don't even I think I did go tolike Chicago, some like OG spot.
It was like Unos or somethingwhen I was like in middle
school, because we werevisiting.
I guess maybe later middleschool, like early high school,
because I think we did somecollege visits, but it was like
pretty young, I think.
But I think we waited for likesome ungodly amount of time.

(47:37):
I think it was like some OGplace.
I don't know, actually know ifit's the first place, but
somewhere.
I used to have an uncle, R.I.P.
Hope man is doing well, andhonestly, I don't know if I'd
actually met him before thistrip, honestly.
It was just this guy that wejust like met and were following
around Chicago.
I mean, I guess my it was mydad's brother, he obviously knew

(47:58):
him.
God rest his soul, but it was atrip like I this man was just
like sprinting around Chicago toshow us like different like
random statues and things, andlike he would just like jump in
the road in front of buses tostop them and like bang on the
door to the guy who would likelet us in.
And I was just like stressedout.
And basically we just like ranaround Chicago for like 12 hours

(48:22):
straight before we finally cavedin to like shop for food, and
then it was at this like Unosplace where it was like three
hours waiting for the actualpizza to come.
So I think everyone just wassuper uh hangry, or we were all
suffering from an acute case ofHBS as coined by my dear mother,
uh hungry bitch syndrome, whichis uh pretty fitting name,

(48:42):
apropos.
If I don't know if that's theright word, it's just fun to
say.
I think that's I think that wasthe right use of it.
I think that means like fittingapropos.
I don't know.
I'm not trying to you know usebig words, so I seem like I
photosynthesize smarter, um, butthat was just fun to say.
But oh yeah, I was comparingpizzas.

(49:05):
I do is Costco considered deepdish, I think maybe.
I like if that's like the kindof style that's like New York,
like the big like fat slices.
I do like pizza, that pizza alot too.
I just I think I like tomato.
I'm not even well okay.
This may my stance on this maybe changing, but in previously
I've never been like a very bigtomato person, but like you
know, I fuck with everythinglike tomato made, like ketchup,

(49:28):
tomato soup, definitely pizzawith like just lots of tomato
sauce.
That was honestly my favoritepart.
Like, I could be fine if a pizzadidn't have like cheese if it
had like good dough and tomatosauce.
Like, that's fine, you know, wecan't work with that.
I mean, cheese helps, but likedeep dish, definitely my shit
with just like hella tomatosauce.
I feel like this might most ofmy grip, like a lot of like you
know, fast food pizza.

(49:49):
I'm like, yo, I need like atleast triple or quadruple the
amount of sauce.
Like, you know, I need thatthing bleeding pee for real, if
you know what I mean.
Otherwise, sometimes it gets atleast it can be decent when it's
fresh, but I feel likeespecially when stuff's just in
the like fridge and like adomino's pizza, it gets like dry
as hell.
Like the the tomato sauce justevaporates.
I don't know where it goes, it'sjust gone, and it's kind of

(50:11):
unfortunate eating like youknow, leftover dominoes.
Or, you know, Pizza Hut.
I remember when I was likegrowing up in like middle, like
elementary, kindergarten, Idon't even know, elementary
school.
I don't know what the yeah, Iwas young, doesn't matter.
Age where I have babysitters tosay, and I remember when my
parents would go wherever, umwho knows what I'd go on date

(50:33):
night or whatever, like we'dalways get to order pizza and
we'd get like some stuffed crustpizza hugs.
I was like one of the, you know,I guess it was the only like
fast food pizza we had thatwould deliver in town.
That might not be true, I don'teven know.
But I was always so hyped to dothat and just like eat the
cheesy stuffed crust, and thenlike eventually I did closed
down.

(50:53):
Oh, they did always give us likein school.
If we'd like read our books,they'd give us like some little
coupon where you get some likemini pizza for free from Dom Jig
uh what the hell I don't uh Whyam I blanking?
Pizza Hut.
I was like, not Lil Caesars, notDomino's.
What's the other one?
The Hut.
Uh but no, then I hadn't had itfor years because it closed

(51:17):
down, and then finally, in likefreshman year college, it was
whenever late one night, andpeople like wanted pizza, so we
ordered Domino's.
I mean, fuck, I can't I can'teven get them all mixed up.
I'm struggling, it's too late.
But you know, we were out heregetting them reps in.
Uh got got a got pizza fromPizza Hut.
First time, you know, thislong-lost love coming back to my

(51:39):
life years later.
That it was ass.
I was so disappointed.
I'm like, this is like actuallyworse than like my you know,
Michelle Obama high school lunchpizza.
Maybe not that bad, but it wasit was damn near.
And it was like just like greasycardboard.
I think I don't know if we gotlike stuff crossed like they
could have redeemed it a littlebit, but it was I was I was kind

(52:00):
of sad.
I was a little bit heartbroken.
I was like, I had high hopes.
I was like, dang, it's been toolong, you know.
Sneaky link with Pizza Hutagain, but unfortunately, she
had aged real poorly, you know,didn't glow up, you know, like
your boy, but that's fine.
I don't I mean I'm not thatpinky, but I'd probably you know
eat it in a pinch.

(52:22):
But still, I needed a good deepdish, top tier.
No disrespect to anyone else.
What's Detroit style?
I think I've heard somethingabout that, and I don't know
what that means.
Detroit style pizza.
Actually, I have to I don't havemy phone, so I guess I'll never
know.
I was gonna pull that out andhad to Google it, but maybe
that's a contender.
Detroit actually I can put it upon the computer.

(52:43):
What is Detroit style pizza?
Because is there any othercities?
Does like any other city gottheir own like signature pizza?
Detroit pizza, let's see, whatdoes it mean?
Rectangular deep dish pizza.
Oh.
With sauce.
Okay, according to Google AI,it's rectangular deep dish pizza

(53:04):
with thick, airy, buttery crust.
Okay, blah, blah, blah, blah,blah.
Wait, okay, they don't reallysay what's different between
that and Chicago.
Now I want to know that.
Detroit pizza racing stripes.
Oh my goodness.

(53:24):
I don't feel like reading thisall right now, but I'm just TM
Deep Dish.
Whatever flavor.
I guess I'll have to, you know,get the weeds on the the
varieties of um Deep Dish, whichcities?
There's Chicago, Detroit, anyother?
I guess it's just like the bigMidwest cities.

(53:44):
Any other, like, you know, isthere uh Cleveland Deep Dish
Pizza, Pittsburgh Deep Dish, allthose towns around there?
I don't really know.
I feel like I actually waslooking at a map recently and I
realized how little of EastCoast geography I knew.
Like I had no idea that like I Ifeel like just like assumed New

(54:05):
York was like in my head forreasons, like the northernmost,
like big US city.
Like I didn't realize likeBoston was like north northeast
of like New York.
But I guess like I just didn'tknow how the states were laid
out.
The OG colonies.
Actually, I don't even know ifNew York was an OG colony.
I don't know if that was one ofthe 13.

(54:25):
I would kind of guess so, butNew England, New York, I don't
know.
But yeah, I'm gonna go do anadventure there.
Not Christmas, but maybe maybenext Christmas or sometime in
between.
Cause you boys not been in therea minute, and there's you know,
lots we gotta do, lots we gottacheck out.
I don't know what other thingsI'd want to do there.

(54:46):
I feel like when I went in likehigh school is like the
stereotypical things, like theStatue of Liberty and the 9-11
Memorial, Broadway.
I think those are the mainthings.
Oh, I do remember like goingthrough the bodegas and buying
like some like I was likeprobably like 14, buying like
some like joke condoms.
I don't even know what they saidon it.

(55:07):
It was just something funny, andI just had to buy it.
I feel like it was that was likethe thing at the time where like
was the edgy thing that peoplelike couldn't believe.
I think we were like prank callat one point, like because we're
staying in a hotel on this, likeit was like a trip for like a
band, a band, like a class bandtrip thing over the summer where
we like we played in some paradesomewhere.

(55:28):
I don't remember Boston, maybe,and maybe by some like big
aircraft carrier somewhere onthe east coast.
I don't know.
Enterprise, is that one of them?
Some USS something.
USS some word.
That's that's very descriptive.
I just described like a millionships, I bet.

(55:49):
But we did that.
So we're saying the hotels, andI think I don't know why.
I think oh I was, you know, Iwas hustling the homies and I
was like basically telling themlike they're like dare me, and
I'm like, yo, we gotta give me10 bucks, and I'll call the the
front desk and ask if they havecondoms as I was like 13, 14,
and they're like, no way he doesthat.
I mean, also we're like stupid,like very sheltered, probably

(56:13):
like kids from like tiny town inthe middle of the middle, it's
relatively like big city, sothat probably is not that crazy
to a lot of people, but anywho,that's that's what we the type
of bullshit we were on.
So I'd call and be like, nope,but then he'd give me directions
to like uh the nearest like7-Eleven or whatever, and then

(56:34):
eventually I guess the frontdesk eventually called the
whatever our chaperones orwhatever supervised-I don't know
what the word I'm looking for.
Chaperone?
I don't know.
That's maybe it.
Then we got like a text to ourour group living in our room or
not living that the group thatwe're staying with, and everyone

(56:57):
was just so embarrassed, or Idon't know, I didn't really
care, and like I was the onethat did it, and I was like, I
just texted about like my bad,like I was just you know out
here getting that bread, andthen everyone else was like
total bitching out for thenight.
Like they were all like dogswith their tails tucked between
their legs and just like crawledin bed and turned off the lights
at like 8 30 p.m.
And I'm like, what the hell,boys?

(57:18):
And I just remember having tosit on the cuck chair of the
hotel and watch like The WalkingDead from like 8 30 to midnight
alone in this room with theseguys, just like just like kind
of like sniffling, tucked intobed.
And I'm like, guys get over it,and then yeah, I mean, it's like
I don't think they really carethat much that we did that.
And I was like, you gotta pay uptoo.
Come on, come on, show me mymoney so I can I don't even know

(57:42):
what I was doing, buy dumbstuff.
But you know, shenanigans backin the day when I was uh a wee
young lad, although I'm still upto playing shenanigans nowadays,
but you know, we on we on adifferent wave.
Uh who knows what's next.
I don't know if there's likemany other things though.

(58:04):
Christmas, Christmas, crazyvibes.
I just want to go like make asnow angel though on like
Christmas Day and do that.
Drink hot chocolate and thenmaybe like eat a cookie or
something.
Although I would jet sea againand go to like some Versace
mansion dinner.
It was I was honestly up therefor Christmas, Christmas vibe

(58:25):
experiences.
Definitely I think that was thefirst Christmas I had that's
like not a white Christmas, sothat was weird.
Like the concept of like thepeople that live in like you
know warm places, nice places,like just having like warm
weather on Christmas always feltlike weird to me.
And like, you know, beingChristmas and somewhere like
nice.

(58:45):
It's kind of it felt it wasweird, it felt weird, but it was
like this is I could get used tothis, this isn't so bad.
Because winter is fun and all.
I do like the seasons and theydo like snow vibes for the
holidays, it's fun.
But like I feel like after likeday one, it's like okay, that
was that was sick vibes, andthen like leaving it, then it's
like you you didn't get sick ofit, you know.

(59:07):
You you kind of it didn't uhlose its appeal to you, you
know.
You still got the butterflies inyour stomach for the the
seasons, you didn't get you knowreally just battered with them
and go back to the sunshine, andthen you know you'd be excited
for the next time you see it.
It's probably the way to do it.
I guess I'm I don't see thatmuch snow nowadays.
I visit it here and there forlike a week or two at a time,

(59:27):
and then and then I I don't gettoo sick of it, but it's it's
fun to have, but then nice tonow live in.
But who knows?
Maybe we'll see.
You know, go off the GrinAlaska, live like the outdoor
boys.
That'd be that'd be a good vibe,honestly.
I wonder how that bro's doing.
He made like some videosrecently, I think.
I don't know what.

(59:48):
But I feel like now recently Inever watched that many.
I saw a few of them, but nowthey like more came up on my
feed recently on my YouTubealgorithm for whatever reason.
And now I was like, wow, I justwant to go like Build like a a
cabin in the woods somewhere andtry to survive.
It looks kind of entertaining.
Or I mean, sounds like kind of avibe.

(01:00:08):
I don't really know.
Sounds like, you know, justgetting out there.
Although also kind of scary.
Surviving has gotta be hardoutside of civilization.
There's a lot you gotta do.
Elements are rough.
Weather, animals, bugs.
Also a bitch, getting cold andhaving to make fire and eat.

(01:00:29):
That's I don't know.
I don't even I guess you gottalearn to like haunt stuff too.
And I feel like I don't know ifit's true, but I feel like I've
seen some things.
We're talking about like someanimals, like rabbits don't
actually have enough fat onthem.
I don't know if this is truethough, or if like you're eating
rabbits, you'll just be slowlystarving.
Seems tough to me that like youdon't get anything out of it.

(01:00:51):
Like it takes I think theybasically said it takes more to
digest than to um actually likethat you more than the energy
you get out of it is you'reburning calories.
I feel like they used to saythat about celery or some dumb
stuff.
It was like negative calories,but I I think that's all cap.
I believe that though that couldbe like just not very nutritious

(01:01:13):
overall, and like eating it longterm would be bad, but saying
that like eating wild rabbitswould like make you like starve
faster seems wild.
Oh, there's some stuff likedrinking your own piss where I
think you're not supposed to doit that you always see on
survival shows.
I think that's one that isn'tlike an actual myth, too.
Like you shouldn't do that, likeyou might actually poison

(01:01:33):
yourself because like you'repissing out like bad stuff your
body doesn't want anymore, andthen you're just drinking it
like straight back.
It's like fucks up your kidneysor something.
So don't drink your piss, guys.
I don't think, unless you youknow are on that R.
Killy grind, but uh, youshouldn't do that either, you
know.
Don't wanna don't want to beplaying those games.

(01:01:56):
Okay, checking up on the foot.
New update, more feet content,you know, get your rocks after
that if you need, but I can'ttell anything going on still.
How long has it been on this?
Is it say it is up to the time.
I haven't actually watched itrun while I was like conscious
for a day.
Sorry, shoddy, I keep banging onthe wall and uh shoddy over

(01:02:18):
there, the puppy, Trixie Bear,uh freaks out for a minute.
She's like lots of times likeneighbors.
I got some like I don't know ifit's some like children running
around upstairs that likehaven't like they're playing
Dance Dance Revolution orsomething, and it sounds like
because there's so many likethumbs, but makes her spook out
and run and go hide in bed,which is I always feel bad, but
it's also kind of funny.

(01:02:39):
Like we'll be walking and havelike walk underneath the freeway
and have like all the car soundsabove you, and then ambulance
drive by blasting a siren, andshoddy does not give a two shit.
She's just you know wagging hertail all the game, get happy to
be out and about.
But she hears like a slightthump inside, and she's like,
She has like fucking VietnamPTSD war flashbacks, just like,

(01:03:00):
you know, they're in the trees,run, just goes hiding.
I mean, there's like a timewhere I try to make her like sit
by me on the couch.
I just sat on the floor, I waslike, come on, you know, you're
fine, you're not gonna get likeyou know, hit by a mortar or
something.
And I was she's like lying nextto me, but Shotty was actually
like shaking.
I felt so bad.
I'm like, okay, let's go to bed.
We'll go sit in the bed.

(01:03:21):
Uh and then she jumped in thebed and lay down, and she's
perfectly still.
So I don't know.
Maybe the bed is just magical.
It's got some ketamine in there.
She hits a K-hole when she getson the covers.
I don't know what, but she isstaying outside of the bed, so I
didn't I didn't spook her toobadly.
I guess it's kind of latethough, so that probably does
help a little bit in terms ofthere's not other stuff going

(01:03:44):
on.
I guess normally the some pumpsI make.
I guess even if I like bang thecouch, like if I I don't know.
This probably maybe doesn't ohyeah, I did that.
That picked up.
That was a better one.
It's okay.
That was me.
I that's not it's not like thethe drums of war and that works
aren't coming.
We're not at Helm's Deep.
Dang, I need to watch Lord ofthe Rings again.

(01:04:05):
I kind of want to watch that, oreven there's lots of stuff I
want to watch.
I've been like meaning to watchthe what is it?
House of the Dragon.
Haven't done that yet.
I like bought the book like Iread Game of Thrones, haven't
actually watched it either, butI read the books in high school
and that was a grind.
And bought the House of Dragonbook like three years ago and

(01:04:27):
been meaning to like read it andjust never read it.
I actually don't know.
My reading is so bad I hardlyever read.
I don't know how many books I'veread since high school.
It's actually abysmal.
I wanted to know what actuallythe average of like because like
back in the day in high school,it's like I did mostly read the
books, but there's sometimeswhere I'd read like the the

(01:04:48):
spark notes, or I guess there'slike cliff notes, some people
said, but it's always sparknotes that I used.
I don't know.
I think cliff notes was the samething, but like that was like
super duper diet chat GPT lightin terms of like getting stuff
spit back out to you, like whereyou could just have to dig out
these summaries.
But with chat GPT, I want toknow like what percentage of

(01:05:11):
like high school studentsactually even read books
anymore.
I mean, I think I've seen likethere was like some study from
like UCSD, like which is a goodschool about like how most of
their incoming like freshmencan't even do like elementary
math.
So I don't know, bro.
We gotta get everyone to lockin.
Kids, y'all, y'all gotta lockin, stay in school.

(01:05:32):
You do not wanna.
I mean, like, I know likethere's a lot that you don't use
in your day-to-day, which peoplesay like, oh, I don't need to
know like algebra, but it's alsolike the foundation of like so
much other stuff that you justlike you cooked if you don't you
can't do, especially like thebasic like math and like

(01:05:54):
reading.
I think there's some clip ofsomeone, I don't know, I don't
know if it's a I don't knowwhich podcast it was.
I actually have no idea.
I don't know if it's some rapperor something.
They're saying like you don'tneed to read in the future, and
I was like, bro, this isn't thisis the most horrendous advice
I've ever heard.
Like, I mean, you know, youdon't like necessarily need some

(01:06:18):
of these skills, but if you likedon't know how to do them, you
just I don't know what you gonnado.
What you gonna do?
So stay in school, kids, eatyour vegetables, uh yeah.
You know, take care ofyourselves, do go for you know,
get your steps in, go forrunning around the block.
Don't do crystal meth, probably.

(01:06:40):
Sounds intriguing, but don't doit.
Or at least don't do it and thenchase the dragon and you know
throw your life away.
That would be unfortunate.
Can't recommend that.
These are all absolute pearls ofwisdom.
I don't know what you do withoutme.
And I know some of you wereprobably considering it, and

(01:07:00):
only until you heard my soothingvoice tell you not to, did you,
you know, realize you know youwere on the wrong path, and I,
you know, saved you and yourfamily from loss of despair.
So, you know, you're welcome,and you know, just keep tuning
in.
That's all I ask for you, youknow.
All I need, and I don't ask formuch.

(01:07:21):
But yeah, it's I don't know.
I'm running out of steam.
I'm about to like clonk out onthe couch.
Need more like decor though.
I'm trying to you could just seethe the visionary work real
time.
Maybe I'll like I don't know.
I keep keep looking at thesewoodworking videos, so now I

(01:07:41):
like want to like do some likefinishing of some like fancy
wood, like all those like resintables.
Maybe I'll put some more art onthe wall, come up with something
like that.
Maybe that'll be a Christmasbreak project.
We'll see, we'll see.
I'll have to you know come backfor more, and you'll see some
you know extra drip on the wall.
That'd be cool.
But I got this 3D map of Kauai,it's actually pretty sick.

(01:08:02):
But I think I need like morethere.
I don't actually know.
Give it a like a logo somewhere,but I don't actually know if I
want that.
But this is not gonna be themost professional, but I'm just
trying to you know brainstormout loud.
Really, really, I mean, we'vetaken big steps, you know.

(01:08:23):
I was about to like revisit andsay one more of those Neil
Armstrong quotes relative tothis, but my brain is it's like
the SpongeBob episode where it'slike the power chord is like not
quite long enough and it's notactually spinning.
And maybe once it finally locksup and links in, I'll come up
with some good quote about howyou know huge leap for this

(01:08:44):
podcast, big old crash outcoming out.
But that is tonight is not thatnight.
I'm I'm shooting blanks.
Not that kind though.
Well, actually, I have no idea.
Maybe I am, who knows?
Well, never mind.
I'm just gonna I'm just gonnashut up now.
You know, it's been real.
It's we're we got a solidepisode in.

(01:09:06):
There's gonna be more where itcame from, you know.
And this is only the beginning,baby.
You know, we've making you knowbig improvements, and there is
more to come.
So with that, peace peace,lasagna.
