that's going to be like
that thing like we were going to talk

Sunday Easter Sunday dinner okay well
you know what here
gather around the YouTubes and uh and
let's hear uh
Uncle talks
(01:43):
the first time it has it has nothing to
do with prepping uh maybe uh it has
something to well I don't know you
should I did have my poison control
hotline involved in this one and it was
available in the Altoids Den so yeah
let's just ask the chat does our show
usually involve prepping other than the
fact that we put it in the title I mean
come on for non-preppers for non-profits
(02:06):
yeah so here's okay here's my story I
haven't told it uh this first debut
story online so okay so it was Easter
Sunday and my daughter woke up and uh
she there's the Easter basket waiting
for her so she was really happy about
that and so anyway I had to I had to
cook uh food because we're having a
family dinner that afternoon like like a
(02:27):
brunch and I needed supplies so I had to
go to the grocery store so I ran up to
the carpet before running out I grabbed
one of the Cadbury eggs because I like
Cadbury eggs and I'm unwrapping this
Cadbury egg and it's kind of sticky and
everything I'm trying to get into the
car I'm getting my giving it to the car
and uh
so I I hit it to the car and I'm trying
to I'm still trying to get into this
(02:48):
Cadbury egg and I have like chocolate on
me because it's like uh it's not you
know coming off the peel that nice
anyway so I see this big uh chocolate
stain on my hand right there and so I'm
like okay so I I go I did a big ice
cream cone lick on it and I'm like oh my
gosh that's disgusting like and then I'm
like oh my gosh we're giving rancid
(03:09):
Cadbury eggs to my daughter somehow it
was it was disgusting
and uh and I'm yakking it up a little
bit but then I'm like okay so I tried
the rest of the Cadbury egg it tasted
fine it tasted fine I ate all of it and
uh and and so then uh I'm like oh well I
guess like maybe the outer part that was
connected to the foil was bad or
(03:29):
something and I don't know what happened
so anyway so then I go and I go to Whole
Foods I do some grocery shopping I go to
another grocery store and do some more
grocery shopping I'm driving home and
then as I'm driving I look out the
window and on the window there's uh
black bird crap on the window on the
window
and so I and I'm like oh no and I I must
(03:54):
I grazed my hand on the window I have to
go to the car crap black bird crap on my
on my hand and licked it off and I was
like oh my gosh I'm gonna get salmonella
or E coli or something because it would
happen like 45 minutes ago and I already
I had breakfast and everything yeah oh
my God there's so many pieces to this
(04:15):
that we need to dissect and so uh and so
I'm like telling my wife and she's like
oh you idiot what are you doing why
would you do that and uh and so then I'm
like well I don't want to get like am I
going to get sick from this am I going
to cause like a new virus or something
that comes out
so uh so then I call the Poison you get
the Altoids tin got the poison hotline
(04:36):
because I didn't know if I was and so I
asked the lady and she uh first you she
was trying not to chuckle at me but she
I a couple jokes because she was asking
like have I had any negative symptoms
and I'm like other than my wife making
fun of me I know not really but and so
and I'm like well do I uh it's am I
gonna be okay or what do I need to do
anything special she says well other
(04:57):
other than it being completely
disgusting I think you should be fine so
uh just keep tracking of it the worst
that could happen will be uh vomiting
and diarrhea and so and so I'm like okay
so my family is they're they're they
have free reign to make fun of me all
day today at Easter and she said yeah
and she was laughing and she said yeah
so uh I love that you think that just
(05:18):
your family is going to after well now
now the internet no you just shared with
the internet that you licked bird uh
excrement off of yourself thinking it
was a Cadbury egg it was melted
chocolate I thought it was melted
chocolate from the Cadbury well okay I
mean of all of the poop jokes that could
have come out of that
I am I guess glad that it was a bird I
(05:42):
mean well it was definitely a there it
was definitely a crow because the crows
hang out on the uh the electrical poles
up there right above the car and so and
I hear if it's like black darkish bird
poop that it's like they're getting into
berries and stuff like that so yeah so
so Pony girl also I mean there's enough
bird flu jokes and that sort of thing
(06:02):
that I mean there's almost too much
we're gonna rename this episode how
Cliff got bird flu thinking he was
eating a Cadbury egg yes I've been
monitoring my situation closely because
uh are you developing feathers
sick or like uh like a Salmonella
poisoning or equal I don't know what
(06:24):
that's gonna give but so far so good so
uh uh but yeah I I've been meaning to
tell you about this so I'm glad that we
were talking I you know I'm so glad that
you I'm so glad that I made it on the
list of people you need to tell us to
this is fantastic I feel real truly I
feel very excited that I was on that
list but more importantly like
(06:44):
like I don't
it's just a white like Cliff it's if the
Cadbury eggs are milk chocolate yeah and
I don't know a bird that looks like milk
chocolate well it looked like melted
chocolate on my hand it was because I I
it did like dark chocolate maybe like I
mean we have lived by a Wetlands we have
(07:06):
Birds who decide to use our cars as
bathrooms often yeah um and it looks
like either white chocolate
it wasn't white chocolate it does not
look like milk chocolate well I yeah
that's what my wife my wife said the
same gave me the same feedback uh well
she said some other choice words and
thought I was stupid and sure why would
you lick something that if you're not
(07:27):
100 confident you know what it is
because I am a survival prefer this
person and I just do things without
thinking or without stepping or once I
tested my tolerance out a little bit and
uh
uh yeah so so far I'm okay I think so
okay well that's hey you know what I did
I didn't even
my my vomit streak is continuous I don't
(07:49):
know if we talked about that before but
I we haven't but I feel like we should
now
that's a gardening yeah exactly back to
gardening um
yeah well it's been 20 years since I uh
last vomited and I've been tracking it
on a year to year basis so I was worried
that I was gonna break I just broke my
streak on uh Martin Luther King day uh
(08:11):
okay
our last episode like he's eating bird
stuff and he's did something on Martin
Luther King Day or whatever like well
(08:31):
stick around for prep talk never coming
yeah no in college we used to do this
thing called Century Club where we would
drink 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes
and we always did it on MLK day because
we had MLK day off and so the last time
I did it was you know 20 years ago and
(08:52):
uh and I then I I decided I you know I
accomplished the task of 100 shots of
beer but then I thought I would go for
the record the school record and I tried
to get up there and I failed and then I
bombed you know I was very sick and I'm
like okay at that point I'm like okay
I'm never gonna barf again like I'm not
gonna purposely do something to make
myself vomit because I don't want to
vomit and so it was my mission and so
(09:14):
then year after year I you know I I I I
somehow I I did not vomit and so then I
finally stopped at 99.
I stopped doing that all together but
yeah just in general I was like I don't
want to vomit I don't like most people
don't like phone but uh anyway so this
past MLK day I it was my 20-year uh
(09:36):
anniversary so I hit that Milestone so
did you get yourself something nice uh I
know we had a little party but uh it was
nothing close friends and family I was
worried I'm like oh man I'm gonna break
it at year 20 because of this bird poop
that I just take
(09:58):
that's fantastic I also loved it you did
Century Club on MLK day because you had
it off as opposed to every other weekend
day uh that existed throughout the year
yeah
holiday that existed like that's an
interesting interesting one it was just
that's just how it kind of worked out so
uh but yeah anyway so so gardening
(10:19):
letters viewers to uh
gardening yeah
(10:40):
so yeah so okay so I put this in because
um I don't know about Seattle but like
normally this is the time where like
you're we would be putting our seeds
that need to be sewn in the ground in
like squash and some of that sort of
stuff
um we would probably be starting like
our tomatoes and all of that
um
(11:00):
but we're supposed to get snow again
tomorrow
we've had snow intermittently for like
the last month
and I don't understand what's happening
and it's making it very difficult to
kind of figure out this gardening thing
unless you have a seed started
Greenhouse like we have
um which I haven't actually put like set
(11:21):
up to use this year because I just
haven't had time yet
um but I'm feeling like I'm getting a
little bit behind because
we're having these like weird freezing
days and so I don't really know that I
want to start anything yet yeah but we
need to start stuff if we're gonna have
it going so I was curious if you are
having a similar thing up in in the
(11:43):
Seattle area not with much I I had some
co-workers they had a lot of hail
yesterday which was pretty crazy but uh
no snow yet but we're delayed on ours as
well uh but for different different
reasons uh but yeah we we need to
probably this weekend it's it's spring
it's our spring break right now and uh
at our school and then this weekend I
have off so uh I think my wife is gonna
(12:06):
give me some tasks in my scrum board to
do uh exactly it's gonna be Garden time
we've been having we've been having kind
of uh
uh
the dispute marital dispute on I forget
if I told you this but every couple
years my wife decides she wants to get a
big pile of uh like fertilizer dirt like
uh like it's it's like the ones that's
(12:28):
made of uh like another yeah
so it's it's so it looks like the big
pile from Jurassic Park that he and
Malco was like that's one big pile of s
and uh anyway it's been in our in our
driveway for like years now so it's
bothering me uh because it's now in the
GPS maps like if I go to Google and look
at our house it's I see this pile of
(12:49):
compost
and it drives me bonkers but uh uh that
is hilarious
uh so yes so my goal then is hopefully
soon to get rid of this pile of compost
that's in the driveway we've been we've
been slowly getting because we're using
it for all our container gardenings and
our potatoes and stuff like that so
(13:10):
that's hopefully the goal yeah hold on
wait oh I missed something there the
pile of compost is still in your
driveway yes it's been there for years
I don't understand I know
how much compost did you order it wasn't
my decision but uh
right at the start at covid she bought
(13:31):
like seven yards or something of it and
so they this big truck came over and
dumped this big pile and it's huge it's
humongous and so yeah and so then and
I'm like oh good we so at one then years
later we got her a couple years later we
got rid of that one then hey I need some
more so another another one came and uh
so it's there and it's slowly getting
(13:53):
getting rid of it but there's still a
whole bunch left and so that's my goal
that hopefully in the next couple weeks
is to get rid of that compost in the uh
and then let Google Maps know to yeah
and it's like hey can you can you put
your drones on top of our house exactly
we don't have the the poop pile anymore
it's it's ready to uh to go yeah and uh
yeah so but my wife has taken over a lot
(14:14):
of the operation for the our home Garden
because she she's not impressed with my
skills and my potatoes every year are
weak yeah yeah pathetic and uh
I imagine she just uses that all year
long just like yeah hey Cliff I ask you
to go get gas in the car but you would
make pathetic potatoes
or gases carbon
yes I'll take care of that well yeah I
(14:36):
don't it's just the potatoes just not
they I I've been uh I haven't done I
haven't done good on the potatoes but on
other ones I do okay you know who makes
a good potato probably rip rip yeah
probably that's probably some of this
she's just hoping for someone who can
make maybe if I do the gardening dressed
as Rip that it'll give it you know
better Mojo I feel like there's a
(14:58):
something like that
also I feel like uh for your anniversary
next year when you dress as Rip you
should just give her a bag of like those
gigantic Idaho potatoes that they have
at like the super fancy restaurants that
are like three pounds or something
maybe just you know I think like this
little petite potatoes are like they're
(15:20):
expensive ones that when you go to the
when you go to the grocery store and you
want to get the three potatoes they're
usually priced a little bit more looks
like we've got Jamie good good to see
you Jamie and yeah funny girl
representing for sure yeah Pony girls in
Arizona where she's drying her crops as
she plants them oh wow because it's 99
degrees there
jeez yeah I mean that's too hot for me
(15:43):
yeah exactly
that's northwesterners like when you hit
like past 85 82 like that's too much
yeah I have some friends down at Oregon
and they they I think last year they
planted all their stuff and then they
had a snow or freeze or it went and it
just destroyed everything and so they're
so frustrated because all their their
(16:04):
Harvest was was ruined so yeah what we
had last year we had the like
the thermal Dome or whatever they call
it I think or something where it was
like a hundred and ten yeah it was crazy
and it just cooked everything yeah so
um I keep playing around with like the
placements of all of our
(16:24):
um
vegetables and stuff to try to get
better like shade and sun and some of
that sort of stuff but I don't know
we're eight years in or something and
I'm like 50 50. yeah the only thing it
didn't cook for us is my wife's a super
spicy peppers like loved the the heat
wave the heat Dome
yeah they loved it so they're melting
(16:47):
through ours of the cans that you put
them in probably see what's happening
now yeah they're uh yeah I don't know
what her plan is this year for spicy
peppers but we actually uh she did a big
uh beet canning last year and we and we
cranked some of those pizza pretty good
uh so we uh cranked some of those out
for Easter and we're everyone was
(17:07):
munching on on the the beets that my my
wife uh Jarred in the previous year so
that's pretty cool very nice very nice I
noticed when I so when I go out of my
new office
um I have we have some planners off to
the left now and then we've got planners
on on Paris thing or whatever
um
and most of them have asparagus in them
(17:29):
um and I noticed that like the asparagus
is coming up now and I'm super excited
because this is our third year in the
asparagus life cycle for all of our
asparagus so we actually get to harvest
it this year oh it's the first time we
actually get to eat the asparagus that
we've been growing for like you know
four or five years at this point wow
that's awesome yes we're doing that we
(17:51):
have a similar one with our we have a
couple blueberry bushes that we're
expecting them to finally produce this
year so we'll see what happens but yeah
we went through a kind of a whole uh
like wholesale change of most of the
plants in our yard
um when we when we redid our yard
because we moved into our house it was
river rock from corner to corner
(18:12):
um the people who owned it before were
elderly and they wanted like a no
maintenance yard so it was literally
River Rock and so we moved in and we
were gonna have kids and it was like
okay we need like a lawn and whatever it
was like seven or nine truckloads full
of river rock that they had to pull out
of our yard to like get off the yard and
(18:32):
um so we originally had like a plan of
plants and they were flowery and they
looked nice and all that sort of stuff
and since then I have slowly
transitioned many of them out to be now
like fruit producing or herbs or stuff
like that so I feel like they're useful
as opposed to just like taking up space
(18:53):
cool
um but yeah have you ever considered
that with the blue book you said
blueberries blueberries I've replaced so
many plants in our yard with blueberries
we probably have I don't know about 15
blueberry plants at this point yeah
we're trying to catch up we have this
old lady neighbor that's she's 90
something she's killing us in the
blueberry harvesting and she she has so
much that she gives that to people but I
(19:13):
I would like to I want everything
replaced in our yard I don't like
flowers I want it has to it has to give
me something so uh but I have to pick my
battles too so yeah yeah uh all right so
in the chat
uh so yeah it's the weirdest time to
plants are 35 in the morning 80 in the
afternoon
yeah the weather is just nuts it's just
(19:34):
nuts
um let's see Chuck hey Chuck put a girl
was on magic club and wait now put a
girl we're actually on Magic Preppers
live stream or were you just in the
comments on Magic Preppers live I just
we just have to understand like
how egregious this live stream cheating
is happening here
(19:54):
um
yeah I think we had I felt like we had a
thing going and uh you're just visiting
other people's live streams apparently
that's yeah magic he is cool though he's
cool prepper for sure yeah yeah
um do you actually do magic anymore
did he start with magic and then from
what I know is that magic when I talked
with him last it was I asked about that
(20:15):
too and I think that it's it was he grew
up being a fan of like the magic card
game and so then that's kind of his
overall theme is Magic type stuff but I
don't know if he if there's a lot of
incorporation with prepping and Magic so
casting bug out spells and yes
from Farmland and stuff yeah
(20:35):
um yes Casey should definitely do it
yeah his new office uh I will figure out
how to do that that might actually be
part of the Monday live streams
um I might make I might do one of those
as yeah that uh which was supposed to
happen this Monday
um and then I ended up getting called
into meetings and stuff and it was like
okay this is not happening today uh but
(20:57):
next Monday uh it will I'm thinking like
the five five thirty time frame
um I think probably works good so that's
I think what I'm gonna do but we shall
see nice
um let's see Jamie uh plants asparagus
graduate high school get your bachelor's
degree eat asparagus
yes I feel like that is kind of what's
(21:18):
happened that's funny
um yeah because you can't eat it for you
have to like Let It Grow for three years
before you can actually Harvest it and
then we did three different batches so
we did like one planter box one year and
then we did more planter boxes the
second year and then we did more the
third year and then we forgot which ones
(21:39):
we had done in which order so we just
waited and so now we can just Harvest it
all right
um hopefully it will be good yeah we
haven't messed with asparagus but
hopefully we'll get more than like two
asparagus stocks at a time so we're not
eating like little bits of this yeah it
is about the family
um do people like do you do Brussels can
(22:01):
I can we grow brussels sprouts in where
we live I don't know I tried to do it a
couple of times I love brussels sprouts
and my whole family does but I don't
know if we could grow them yeah my
daughter really loved them and so we
tried a couple of years and I kind of
got them to start going and then they
just didn't fully develop so I don't
know if it was me or if it's our region
(22:22):
um but I feel like zucchinis and
squashes work really well yeah the peas
and beans are fine Tomatoes I can grow
them all day long cucumbers tend to be
hit and miss yeah um some years I kill
it and some beers I kill them it just
depends
um spaghetti squash and delicata squash
(22:43):
we did those those were worked really
well
um so yeah it's carrots radishes all
that sort of stuff
um we did potatoes but I never actually
harvested them so I don't know if they
worked or not
yeah I need to yeah we do all the ones
that you listed that are easier to do
that we do all of those ones and uh we
(23:04):
thought one year we tried doing corn and
we just like totally failed miserably
yes my daughter was so excited because
the they are growing they look like they
were gonna and then they just all just
died yes
we had like two ears and they each had
like a kernel
uh corns ever
um
(23:24):
so uh yeah onions will grow damn near
anywhere yes onions and garlic have been
fantastic for us
um really really love those
um however I will say I recognize that I
have a problem because when I grow them
I want to enjoy them
(23:46):
and so that I want to save them
and then
we don't end up eating them and then
they go bad
and it kind of defeats the whole purpose
of everything so I need did you ever
find that like there's something you
really want and so then you save it
because it's special and then you
realize that it's like you waited till
it was too late and then now it's a
(24:06):
wasted time yeah I uh I'm like that with
the lettuce I'm like a sympathetic
lettuce Harvester so
like we I we grew all this lettuce it
looks beautiful and I I just didn't have
the heart to like just walk through
let's make a salad out of it and so I'm
like oh it's so pretty I'm like I grew
this from from nothing and then it just
died yeah it moves to feed us but I for
(24:29):
some reason I the lettuce for some
reason it just looks so pretty and I I
didn't have the heart to to eat it and
then it just died and I had to throw it
away anyway so uh I shouldn't name that
it's kind of like chicken so that you
eat you don't name the chickens and I
can't talk sweet to the the lettuce like
I have in the past yeah
wait a minute hold on wait wait wait
(24:50):
wait
what is pony Girl Chuck magic is my
version of rep oh I do go on his channel
from time to time
I don't know how I feel about this yeah
I feel like I feel like the train
station yeah I feel like this is taking
a turn I feel like this is taking a turn
um I feel like we're learning a lot
(25:10):
about uh Pony girl and uh and all of the
things talking about his white swirl and
his hair is his magic I saw that oh
that's fantastic where's that one
um that's from Chuck I think but uh yeah
yeah it has like the like Rogue from
X-Men it's like a yes
yeah exactly yeah the white swirl is his
(25:30):
is his magic yeah that's a hundred
percent that's magic it is magical
um okra
I love growing RJ is pretty good in the
Upper Midwest the kids used to eat them
off the plant
um most never got cooked I've never
tried to do okra before either yeah we
did uh we did uh Green Tomatoes last
year and did some like Fried Green
(25:51):
Tomatoes it was awesome and we made some
Salsas and stuff it was cool but not
okay
um so one thing I'm gonna try this year
I think I have to check my seed storage
because I think I bought seeds for them
last year and I gotta do it is luffa
gourds
have you ever heard of that no so
apparently you know loofah sponges yeah
(26:11):
that's exactly that's what I was
thinking of so they're that's how you
make them is they're made from these
gourds they're not made from like sea
sponges or from something else like
they're these gourds that are
and you uh grow them and then you dry
them and then you peel off the skin when
they're dry and the inside of them are
(26:33):
loofahs wow so I was like all right well
we're totally trying this that's awesome
how that happens so
I have to check to see if I already have
the seeds off that order them but
um
yeah that was uh that was like oh
that'll be super fun that'll be a good
thing
um let's see yeah peas and tomatoes
(26:55):
yep all of that to me you know the
potatoes yeah we like the we like the
cherry tomatoes on our end uh yeah uh
they're awesome so yeah I used to do
like a variety like we do like the
beefsteak tomatoes and we do like the
Roma's and we did all that sort of stuff
and I found that they like I could never
get them to really get big and and do
what they would they would always split
(27:16):
or yeah bugs or whatever but like if you
do the grape tomatoes or the plum
tomatoes or cherry tomatoes they will
grow tons they taste exactly the same
um and they're great for so many
different things yeah I I like uh
getting the Cherry once and every day
just going out picking a couple of them
eating them and uh and there's so much
more flavorful than the ones we get to
(27:37):
the grocery store so uh yeah it's
awesome yeah and then you whichever ones
you don't have at the end you can we
made them into dried uh put them in the
dehydrator and made them into sun-dried
tomatoes oh cool and then just packed
them in some oil with like uh either
with garlic or just regular oil or
whatever
um and they were fantastic those are
super awesome that's awesome
(27:59):
she she dried a bunch of peppers and
made a bunch of like pepper uh uh
sprinkles and pepper flakes and all that
kind of stuff but we didn't do our
Tomatoes but yeah we like we eat those
like uh what's that what's the thing
with the mozzarella cheese and the basil
okay yeah that's we just in the
summertime we're because we're kind of
(28:20):
tomato rich and so that's what we have
all the time yeah do you do the caprese
salads with the little tiny mozzarellas
no we go big mozzarella on ours okay so
because we do the we do the cherry
tomatoes and stuff oh that's like the
kind of cherry cherry pie so you do like
the little mozzarella balls those ones
are cute and then you like chop up the
(28:41):
basil and everything else and then it's
more of like uh salad than it is like
yeah the thing that you would slice and
cut up or whatever yeah so yeah I highly
recommend it highly recommend it
um all right so it is 605
top kind of piano lessons yeah well my
daughter has piano lessons oh I was
(29:01):
going to tell you uh my daughter's in
Jiu Jitsu too and she had a big
breakthrough yesterday this has nothing
to do with prepping but uh she had a big
breakthrough yesterday more because
she's trying to get her gray belt and
I'm like they're not they're not going
to graduate you until you can
demonstrate the arm bar and because
she's always been apprehensive of it and
so yesterday she had a bunch of sparring
and something just clicked with her she
(29:21):
just she got how to do it and she
probably put on 10 arm bars on kids and
she kept doing it over and over and the
kids are kids are screaming and crying
and stuff and she's smiling at me
because she's like it finally clicked
with her and I was so proud but all
these kids were all oh my God
and now you have to lock the door the
like the door to your bedroom at night
(29:41):
because now your daughter can come in if
you're you know kidnot align during the
day it'd be like all right I'm gonna
break your arm yeah so she's uh it was
really it was a really proud moment
because she's been working over a year
at Jiu Jitsu and uh and if she finally
got how to do it quickly on these kids
and so a lot of kids were crying
yesterday so
well congratulations yeah on Little Miss
(30:03):
Pepper for uh bringing tears to the eyes
of all of her victims yeah yes that is
fantastic
um and hopefully we'll you know she'll
get the gray belt here very soon yeah
we'll keep everyone posted so and then
yeah it's kind of for prepping I don't
know she's it's she's learning her
tactical uh self-defense so yeah for the
yeah for zombies get some zombies and
(30:25):
some uh

funny story that I'm not even sure that
I want to share but uh but we could go
into it at some point yeah you know that
that's going to be like
that thing like we were going to talk
about gardening but we're supposed to
(01:23):
talk about gardening but I I yeah I
haven't told anyone well I've told only
immediate family we've uh it was the
talking oh my talk it was the talk
Sunday Easter Sunday dinner okay well
you know what here
gather around the YouTubes and uh and
let's hear uh
Uncle talks
(01:43):
the first time it has it has nothing to
do with prepping uh maybe uh it has
something to well I don't know you
should I did have my poison control
hotline involved in this one and it was
available in the Altoids Den so yeah
let's just ask the chat does our show
usually involve prepping other than the
fact that we put it in the title I mean
come on for non-preppers for non-profits
(02:06):
yeah so here's okay here's my story I
haven't told it uh this first debut
story online so okay so it was Easter
Sunday and my daughter woke up and uh
she there's the Easter basket waiting
for her so she was really happy about
that and so anyway I had to I had to
cook uh food because we're having a
family dinner that afternoon like like a
(02:27):
brunch and I needed supplies so I had to
go to the grocery store so I ran up to
the carpet before running out I grabbed
one of the Cadbury eggs because I like
Cadbury eggs and I'm unwrapping this
Cadbury egg and it's kind of sticky and
everything I'm trying to get into the
car I'm getting my giving it to the car
and uh
so I I hit it to the car and I'm trying
to I'm still trying to get into this
(02:48):
Cadbury egg and I have like chocolate on
me because it's like uh it's not you
know coming off the peel that nice
anyway so I see this big uh chocolate
stain on my hand right there and so I'm
like okay so I I go I did a big ice
cream cone lick on it and I'm like oh my
gosh that's disgusting like and then I'm
like oh my gosh we're giving rancid
(03:09):
Cadbury eggs to my daughter somehow it
was it was disgusting
and uh and I'm yakking it up a little
bit but then I'm like okay so I tried
the rest of the Cadbury egg it tasted
fine it tasted fine I ate all of it and
uh and and so then uh I'm like oh well I
guess like maybe the outer part that was
connected to the foil was bad or
(03:29):
something and I don't know what happened
so anyway so then I go and I go to Whole
Foods I do some grocery shopping I go to
another grocery store and do some more
grocery shopping I'm driving home and
then as I'm driving I look out the
window and on the window there's uh
black bird crap on the window on the
window
and so I and I'm like oh no and I I must
(03:54):
I grazed my hand on the window I have to
go to the car crap black bird crap on my
on my hand and licked it off and I was
like oh my gosh I'm gonna get salmonella
or E coli or something because it would
happen like 45 minutes ago and I already
I had breakfast and everything yeah oh
my God there's so many pieces to this
(04:15):
that we need to dissect and so uh and so
I'm like telling my wife and she's like
oh you idiot what are you doing why
would you do that and uh and so then I'm
like well I don't want to get like am I
going to get sick from this am I going
to cause like a new virus or something
that comes out
so uh so then I call the Poison you get
the Altoids tin got the poison hotline
(04:36):
because I didn't know if I was and so I
asked the lady and she uh first you she
was trying not to chuckle at me but she
I a couple jokes because she was asking
like have I had any negative symptoms
and I'm like other than my wife making
fun of me I know not really but and so
and I'm like well do I uh it's am I
gonna be okay or what do I need to do
anything special she says well other
(04:57):
other than it being completely
disgusting I think you should be fine so
uh just keep tracking of it the worst
that could happen will be uh vomiting
and diarrhea and so and so I'm like okay
so my family is they're they're they
have free reign to make fun of me all
day today at Easter and she said yeah
and she was laughing and she said yeah
so uh I love that you think that just
(05:18):
your family is going to after well now
now the internet no you just shared with
the internet that you licked bird uh
excrement off of yourself thinking it
was a Cadbury egg it was melted
chocolate I thought it was melted
chocolate from the Cadbury well okay I
mean of all of the poop jokes that could
have come out of that
I am I guess glad that it was a bird I
(05:42):
mean well it was definitely a there it
was definitely a crow because the crows
hang out on the uh the electrical poles
up there right above the car and so and
I hear if it's like black darkish bird
poop that it's like they're getting into
berries and stuff like that so yeah so
so Pony girl also I mean there's enough
bird flu jokes and that sort of thing
(06:02):
that I mean there's almost too much
we're gonna rename this episode how
Cliff got bird flu thinking he was
eating a Cadbury egg yes I've been
monitoring my situation closely because
uh are you developing feathers
sick or like uh like a Salmonella
poisoning or equal I don't know what
(06:24):
that's gonna give but so far so good so
uh uh but yeah I I've been meaning to
tell you about this so I'm glad that we
were talking I you know I'm so glad that
you I'm so glad that I made it on the
list of people you need to tell us to
this is fantastic I feel real truly I
feel very excited that I was on that
list but more importantly like
(06:44):
like I don't
it's just a white like Cliff it's if the
Cadbury eggs are milk chocolate yeah and
I don't know a bird that looks like milk
chocolate well it looked like melted
chocolate on my hand it was because I I
it did like dark chocolate maybe like I
mean we have lived by a Wetlands we have
(07:06):
Birds who decide to use our cars as
bathrooms often yeah um and it looks
like either white chocolate
it wasn't white chocolate it does not
look like milk chocolate well I yeah
that's what my wife my wife said the
same gave me the same feedback uh well
she said some other choice words and
thought I was stupid and sure why would
you lick something that if you're not
(07:27):
100 confident you know what it is
because I am a survival prefer this
person and I just do things without
thinking or without stepping or once I
tested my tolerance out a little bit and
uh
uh yeah so so far I'm okay I think so
okay well that's hey you know what I did
I didn't even
my my vomit streak is continuous I don't
(07:49):
know if we talked about that before but
I we haven't but I feel like we should
now
that's a gardening yeah exactly back to
gardening um
yeah well it's been 20 years since I uh
last vomited and I've been tracking it
on a year to year basis so I was worried
that I was gonna break I just broke my
streak on uh Martin Luther King day uh
(08:11):
okay
our last episode like he's eating bird
stuff and he's did something on Martin
Luther King Day or whatever like well
(08:31):
stick around for prep talk never coming
yeah no in college we used to do this
thing called Century Club where we would
drink 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes
and we always did it on MLK day because
we had MLK day off and so the last time
I did it was you know 20 years ago and
(08:52):
uh and I then I I decided I you know I
accomplished the task of 100 shots of
beer but then I thought I would go for
the record the school record and I tried
to get up there and I failed and then I
bombed you know I was very sick and I'm
like okay at that point I'm like okay
I'm never gonna barf again like I'm not
gonna purposely do something to make
myself vomit because I don't want to
vomit and so it was my mission and so
(09:14):
then year after year I you know I I I I
somehow I I did not vomit and so then I
finally stopped at 99.
I stopped doing that all together but
yeah just in general I was like I don't
want to vomit I don't like most people
don't like phone but uh anyway so this
past MLK day I it was my 20-year uh
(09:36):
anniversary so I hit that Milestone so
did you get yourself something nice uh I
know we had a little party but uh it was
nothing close friends and family I was
worried I'm like oh man I'm gonna break
it at year 20 because of this bird poop
that I just take
(09:58):
that's fantastic I also loved it you did
Century Club on MLK day because you had
it off as opposed to every other weekend
day uh that existed throughout the year
yeah
holiday that existed like that's an
interesting interesting one it was just
that's just how it kind of worked out so
uh but yeah anyway so so gardening
(10:19):
letters viewers to uh
gardening yeah
(10:40):
so yeah so okay so I put this in because
um I don't know about Seattle but like
normally this is the time where like
you're we would be putting our seeds
that need to be sewn in the ground in
like squash and some of that sort of
stuff
um we would probably be starting like
our tomatoes and all of that
um
(11:00):
but we're supposed to get snow again
tomorrow
we've had snow intermittently for like
the last month
and I don't understand what's happening
and it's making it very difficult to
kind of figure out this gardening thing
unless you have a seed started
Greenhouse like we have
um which I haven't actually put like set
(11:21):
up to use this year because I just
haven't had time yet
um but I'm feeling like I'm getting a
little bit behind because
we're having these like weird freezing
days and so I don't really know that I
want to start anything yet yeah but we
need to start stuff if we're gonna have
it going so I was curious if you are
having a similar thing up in in the
(11:43):
Seattle area not with much I I had some
co-workers they had a lot of hail
yesterday which was pretty crazy but uh
no snow yet but we're delayed on ours as
well uh but for different different
reasons uh but yeah we we need to
probably this weekend it's it's spring
it's our spring break right now and uh
at our school and then this weekend I
have off so uh I think my wife is gonna
(12:06):
give me some tasks in my scrum board to
do uh exactly it's gonna be Garden time
we've been having we've been having kind
of uh
uh
the dispute marital dispute on I forget
if I told you this but every couple
years my wife decides she wants to get a
big pile of uh like fertilizer dirt like
uh like it's it's like the ones that's
(12:28):
made of uh like another yeah
so it's it's so it looks like the big
pile from Jurassic Park that he and
Malco was like that's one big pile of s
and uh anyway it's been in our in our
driveway for like years now so it's
bothering me uh because it's now in the
GPS maps like if I go to Google and look
at our house it's I see this pile of
(12:49):
compost
and it drives me bonkers but uh uh that
is hilarious
uh so yes so my goal then is hopefully
soon to get rid of this pile of compost
that's in the driveway we've been we've
been slowly getting because we're using
it for all our container gardenings and
our potatoes and stuff like that so
(13:10):
that's hopefully the goal yeah hold on
wait oh I missed something there the
pile of compost is still in your
driveway yes it's been there for years
I don't understand I know
how much compost did you order it wasn't
my decision but uh
right at the start at covid she bought
(13:31):
like seven yards or something of it and
so they this big truck came over and
dumped this big pile and it's huge it's
humongous and so yeah and so then and
I'm like oh good we so at one then years
later we got her a couple years later we
got rid of that one then hey I need some
more so another another one came and uh
so it's there and it's slowly getting
(13:53):
getting rid of it but there's still a
whole bunch left and so that's my goal
that hopefully in the next couple weeks
is to get rid of that compost in the uh
and then let Google Maps know to yeah
and it's like hey can you can you put
your drones on top of our house exactly
we don't have the the poop pile anymore
it's it's ready to uh to go yeah and uh
yeah so but my wife has taken over a lot
(14:14):
of the operation for the our home Garden
because she she's not impressed with my
skills and my potatoes every year are
weak yeah yeah pathetic and uh
I imagine she just uses that all year
long just like yeah hey Cliff I ask you
to go get gas in the car but you would
make pathetic potatoes
or gases carbon
yes I'll take care of that well yeah I
(14:36):
don't it's just the potatoes just not
they I I've been uh I haven't done I
haven't done good on the potatoes but on
other ones I do okay you know who makes
a good potato probably rip rip yeah
probably that's probably some of this
she's just hoping for someone who can
make maybe if I do the gardening dressed
as Rip that it'll give it you know
better Mojo I feel like there's a
(14:58):
something like that
also I feel like uh for your anniversary
next year when you dress as Rip you
should just give her a bag of like those
gigantic Idaho potatoes that they have
at like the super fancy restaurants that
are like three pounds or something
maybe just you know I think like this
little petite potatoes are like they're
(15:20):
expensive ones that when you go to the
when you go to the grocery store and you
want to get the three potatoes they're
usually priced a little bit more looks
like we've got Jamie good good to see
you Jamie and yeah funny girl
representing for sure yeah Pony girls in
Arizona where she's drying her crops as
she plants them oh wow because it's 99
degrees there
jeez yeah I mean that's too hot for me
(15:43):
yeah exactly
that's northwesterners like when you hit
like past 85 82 like that's too much
yeah I have some friends down at Oregon
and they they I think last year they
planted all their stuff and then they
had a snow or freeze or it went and it
just destroyed everything and so they're
so frustrated because all their their
(16:04):
Harvest was was ruined so yeah what we
had last year we had the like
the thermal Dome or whatever they call
it I think or something where it was
like a hundred and ten yeah it was crazy
and it just cooked everything yeah so
um I keep playing around with like the
placements of all of our
(16:24):
um
vegetables and stuff to try to get
better like shade and sun and some of
that sort of stuff but I don't know
we're eight years in or something and
I'm like 50 50. yeah the only thing it
didn't cook for us is my wife's a super
spicy peppers like loved the the heat
wave the heat Dome
yeah they loved it so they're melting
(16:47):
through ours of the cans that you put
them in probably see what's happening
now yeah they're uh yeah I don't know
what her plan is this year for spicy
peppers but we actually uh she did a big
uh beet canning last year and we and we
cranked some of those pizza pretty good
uh so we uh cranked some of those out
for Easter and we're everyone was
(17:07):
munching on on the the beets that my my
wife uh Jarred in the previous year so
that's pretty cool very nice very nice I
noticed when I so when I go out of my
new office
um I have we have some planners off to
the left now and then we've got planners
on on Paris thing or whatever
um
and most of them have asparagus in them
(17:29):
um and I noticed that like the asparagus
is coming up now and I'm super excited
because this is our third year in the
asparagus life cycle for all of our
asparagus so we actually get to harvest
it this year oh it's the first time we
actually get to eat the asparagus that
we've been growing for like you know
four or five years at this point wow
that's awesome yes we're doing that we
(17:51):
have a similar one with our we have a
couple blueberry bushes that we're
expecting them to finally produce this
year so we'll see what happens but yeah
we went through a kind of a whole uh
like wholesale change of most of the
plants in our yard
um when we when we redid our yard
because we moved into our house it was
river rock from corner to corner
(18:12):
um the people who owned it before were
elderly and they wanted like a no
maintenance yard so it was literally
River Rock and so we moved in and we
were gonna have kids and it was like
okay we need like a lawn and whatever it
was like seven or nine truckloads full
of river rock that they had to pull out
of our yard to like get off the yard and
(18:32):
um so we originally had like a plan of
plants and they were flowery and they
looked nice and all that sort of stuff
and since then I have slowly
transitioned many of them out to be now
like fruit producing or herbs or stuff
like that so I feel like they're useful
as opposed to just like taking up space
(18:53):
cool
um but yeah have you ever considered
that with the blue book you said
blueberries blueberries I've replaced so
many plants in our yard with blueberries
we probably have I don't know about 15
blueberry plants at this point yeah
we're trying to catch up we have this
old lady neighbor that's she's 90
something she's killing us in the
blueberry harvesting and she she has so
much that she gives that to people but I
(19:13):
I would like to I want everything
replaced in our yard I don't like
flowers I want it has to it has to give
me something so uh but I have to pick my
battles too so yeah yeah uh all right so
in the chat
uh so yeah it's the weirdest time to
plants are 35 in the morning 80 in the
afternoon
yeah the weather is just nuts it's just
(19:34):
nuts
um let's see Chuck hey Chuck put a girl
was on magic club and wait now put a
girl we're actually on Magic Preppers
live stream or were you just in the
comments on Magic Preppers live I just
we just have to understand like
how egregious this live stream cheating
is happening here
(19:54):
um
yeah I think we had I felt like we had a
thing going and uh you're just visiting
other people's live streams apparently
that's yeah magic he is cool though he's
cool prepper for sure yeah yeah
um do you actually do magic anymore
did he start with magic and then from
what I know is that magic when I talked
with him last it was I asked about that
(20:15):
too and I think that it's it was he grew
up being a fan of like the magic card
game and so then that's kind of his
overall theme is Magic type stuff but I
don't know if he if there's a lot of
incorporation with prepping and Magic so
casting bug out spells and yes
from Farmland and stuff yeah
(20:35):
um yes Casey should definitely do it
yeah his new office uh I will figure out
how to do that that might actually be
part of the Monday live streams
um I might make I might do one of those
as yeah that uh which was supposed to
happen this Monday
um and then I ended up getting called
into meetings and stuff and it was like
okay this is not happening today uh but
(20:57):
next Monday uh it will I'm thinking like
the five five thirty time frame
um I think probably works good so that's
I think what I'm gonna do but we shall
see nice
um let's see Jamie uh plants asparagus
graduate high school get your bachelor's
degree eat asparagus
yes I feel like that is kind of what's
(21:18):
happened that's funny
um yeah because you can't eat it for you
have to like Let It Grow for three years
before you can actually Harvest it and
then we did three different batches so
we did like one planter box one year and
then we did more planter boxes the
second year and then we did more the
third year and then we forgot which ones
(21:39):
we had done in which order so we just
waited and so now we can just Harvest it
all right
um hopefully it will be good yeah we
haven't messed with asparagus but
hopefully we'll get more than like two
asparagus stocks at a time so we're not
eating like little bits of this yeah it
is about the family
um do people like do you do Brussels can
(22:01):
I can we grow brussels sprouts in where
we live I don't know I tried to do it a
couple of times I love brussels sprouts
and my whole family does but I don't
know if we could grow them yeah my
daughter really loved them and so we
tried a couple of years and I kind of
got them to start going and then they
just didn't fully develop so I don't
know if it was me or if it's our region
(22:22):
um but I feel like zucchinis and
squashes work really well yeah the peas
and beans are fine Tomatoes I can grow
them all day long cucumbers tend to be
hit and miss yeah um some years I kill
it and some beers I kill them it just
depends
um spaghetti squash and delicata squash
(22:43):
we did those those were worked really
well
um so yeah it's carrots radishes all
that sort of stuff
um we did potatoes but I never actually
harvested them so I don't know if they
worked or not
yeah I need to yeah we do all the ones
that you listed that are easier to do
that we do all of those ones and uh we
(23:04):
thought one year we tried doing corn and
we just like totally failed miserably
yes my daughter was so excited because
the they are growing they look like they
were gonna and then they just all just
died yes
we had like two ears and they each had
like a kernel
uh corns ever
um
(23:24):
so uh yeah onions will grow damn near
anywhere yes onions and garlic have been
fantastic for us
um really really love those
um however I will say I recognize that I
have a problem because when I grow them
I want to enjoy them
(23:46):
and so that I want to save them
and then
we don't end up eating them and then
they go bad
and it kind of defeats the whole purpose
of everything so I need did you ever
find that like there's something you
really want and so then you save it
because it's special and then you
realize that it's like you waited till
it was too late and then now it's a
(24:06):
wasted time yeah I uh I'm like that with
the lettuce I'm like a sympathetic
lettuce Harvester so
like we I we grew all this lettuce it
looks beautiful and I I just didn't have
the heart to like just walk through
let's make a salad out of it and so I'm
like oh it's so pretty I'm like I grew
this from from nothing and then it just
died yeah it moves to feed us but I for
(24:29):
some reason I the lettuce for some
reason it just looks so pretty and I I
didn't have the heart to to eat it and
then it just died and I had to throw it
away anyway so uh I shouldn't name that
it's kind of like chicken so that you
eat you don't name the chickens and I
can't talk sweet to the the lettuce like
I have in the past yeah
wait a minute hold on wait wait wait
(24:50):
wait
what is pony Girl Chuck magic is my
version of rep oh I do go on his channel
from time to time
I don't know how I feel about this yeah
I feel like I feel like the train
station yeah I feel like this is taking
a turn I feel like this is taking a turn
um I feel like we're learning a lot
(25:10):
about uh Pony girl and uh and all of the
things talking about his white swirl and
his hair is his magic I saw that oh
that's fantastic where's that one
um that's from Chuck I think but uh yeah
yeah it has like the like Rogue from
X-Men it's like a yes
yeah exactly yeah the white swirl is his
(25:30):
is his magic yeah that's a hundred
percent that's magic it is magical
um okra
I love growing RJ is pretty good in the
Upper Midwest the kids used to eat them
off the plant
um most never got cooked I've never
tried to do okra before either yeah we
did uh we did uh Green Tomatoes last
year and did some like Fried Green
(25:51):
Tomatoes it was awesome and we made some
Salsas and stuff it was cool but not
okay
um so one thing I'm gonna try this year
I think I have to check my seed storage
because I think I bought seeds for them
last year and I gotta do it is luffa
gourds
have you ever heard of that no so
apparently you know loofah sponges yeah
(26:11):
that's exactly that's what I was
thinking of so they're that's how you
make them is they're made from these
gourds they're not made from like sea
sponges or from something else like
they're these gourds that are
and you uh grow them and then you dry
them and then you peel off the skin when
they're dry and the inside of them are
(26:33):
loofahs wow so I was like all right well
we're totally trying this that's awesome
how that happens so
I have to check to see if I already have
the seeds off that order them but
um
yeah that was uh that was like oh
that'll be super fun that'll be a good
thing
um let's see yeah peas and tomatoes
(26:55):
yep all of that to me you know the
potatoes yeah we like the we like the
cherry tomatoes on our end uh yeah uh
they're awesome so yeah I used to do
like a variety like we do like the
beefsteak tomatoes and we do like the
Roma's and we did all that sort of stuff
and I found that they like I could never
get them to really get big and and do
what they would they would always split
(27:16):
or yeah bugs or whatever but like if you
do the grape tomatoes or the plum
tomatoes or cherry tomatoes they will
grow tons they taste exactly the same
um and they're great for so many
different things yeah I I like uh
getting the Cherry once and every day
just going out picking a couple of them
eating them and uh and there's so much
more flavorful than the ones we get to
(27:37):
the grocery store so uh yeah it's
awesome yeah and then you whichever ones
you don't have at the end you can we
made them into dried uh put them in the
dehydrator and made them into sun-dried
tomatoes oh cool and then just packed
them in some oil with like uh either
with garlic or just regular oil or
whatever
um and they were fantastic those are
super awesome that's awesome
(27:59):
she she dried a bunch of peppers and
made a bunch of like pepper uh uh
sprinkles and pepper flakes and all that
kind of stuff but we didn't do our
Tomatoes but yeah we like we eat those
like uh what's that what's the thing
with the mozzarella cheese and the basil
okay yeah that's we just in the
summertime we're because we're kind of
(28:20):
tomato rich and so that's what we have
all the time yeah do you do the caprese
salads with the little tiny mozzarellas
no we go big mozzarella on ours okay so
because we do the we do the cherry
tomatoes and stuff oh that's like the
kind of cherry cherry pie so you do like
the little mozzarella balls those ones
are cute and then you like chop up the
(28:41):
basil and everything else and then it's
more of like uh salad than it is like
yeah the thing that you would slice and
cut up or whatever yeah so yeah I highly
recommend it highly recommend it
um all right so it is 605
top kind of piano lessons yeah well my
daughter has piano lessons oh I was
(29:01):
going to tell you uh my daughter's in
Jiu Jitsu too and she had a big
breakthrough yesterday this has nothing
to do with prepping but uh she had a big
breakthrough yesterday more because
she's trying to get her gray belt and
I'm like they're not they're not going
to graduate you until you can
demonstrate the arm bar and because
she's always been apprehensive of it and
so yesterday she had a bunch of sparring
and something just clicked with her she
(29:21):
just she got how to do it and she
probably put on 10 arm bars on kids and
she kept doing it over and over and the
kids are kids are screaming and crying
and stuff and she's smiling at me
because she's like it finally clicked
with her and I was so proud but all
these kids were all oh my God
and now you have to lock the door the
like the door to your bedroom at night
(29:41):
because now your daughter can come in if
you're you know kidnot align during the
day it'd be like all right I'm gonna
break your arm yeah so she's uh it was
really it was a really proud moment
because she's been working over a year
at Jiu Jitsu and uh and if she finally
got how to do it quickly on these kids
and so a lot of kids were crying
yesterday so
well congratulations yeah on Little Miss
(30:03):
Pepper for uh bringing tears to the eyes
of all of her victims yeah yes that is
fantastic
um and hopefully we'll you know she'll
get the gray belt here very soon yeah
we'll keep everyone posted so and then
yeah it's kind of for prepping I don't
know she's it's she's learning her
tactical uh self-defense so yeah for the
yeah for zombies get some zombies and
