We have a special guest say hello, hello. That's Michelle and I
don't think I've ever done a podcastat one forty in the morning, but
I'll keep this one brief. Iwas out here doing satellite passes on my
(00:22):
seven O five, trying to testthe new antenna, and uh so,
next pass is twelve fifty five tomorrowafternoon. I gotta hit that one.
But this, well, this afternoon, Michelle podcast, don't go this way.
I don't think you have you everbeen on podcast? Have you ever
(00:42):

That means twelve fifty five this afternoon. You heard it from the Peanut Gallery.
Anyways, so real quick, I'llkeep this short. And by the
way, for Steve, if youare out there in that truck driving overnight,
this one's for you, buddy.The overnighters who listened on the podcast,
(01:03):
love you guys, thanks for listening. But Ross, let's see Ross,
Jonathan, THEO, Timothy, allthe people that have asked yes,
I kind of blew up on thelast podcast. I remember not at you

(01:25):
to vent, and uh, youknow you haven't heard from me since.
But yes, as Ross asked aman, you're right, okay, Yes,
I'm okay. I've been. I'vebeen, you know, trying to
get this video done this weekend.I've been working until ten o'clock at night
all over different parts of Florida thisweek and I got to do it again
(01:46):
Monday and Tuesday, and then I'moff Wednesday through Sunday. My fortieth birthday
is Wednesday. I took off mybirth week. I've never been excited about
a birthday. Not excited. Excuseme. I've never been concerned about a
birth day of my life and don'tcare. I've worked many birthdays, but
this one turning forty, this oneturning forty is very scary. So I
(02:09):
figured i'd take off, you know, Wednesday through Sunday and just hang out
with Michelle. Uh, and I'llprobably try to get some videos done.
But everything's good. Yeah, don'tdon't worry about me freaking out venting to
you guys, I'm not deleting theYouTube channel. I'm not doing is doing
that. I just I just Ijust had to get something off my chest.
(02:30):
You know, people that have toget very personal and tell my grandson
you know, it's an f anidiot and me, I'm an f an
idiot, and my mom. Youknow, it should be a shame that
went personally. It wasn't about mebeing oh, Eric, you gotta have
a thick skin on YouTube. Nowthey got very personal and turned into it.
This is like, very simple,this is YouTube. This is YouTube,
(02:54):
not not not not professional tower climbertube, not I'm a hero tube,
not celebrity tobe YouTube. So Ijust make simple videos and they feel
like I owe them something that ifI and as well. What hurt him
the most was the civil fact thathe would never put his grandchild in danger.
(03:17):
He knew exactly what he was doing. They both knew what they were
doing, and they had fun,and his grandson was going to also see
the responses. And I didn't evenlet it get that far. I just
canceled the video. So that's whyI freaked out. But remember I was
(03:38):
on the way to drop crickets moweroff after I fixed it, and I
was last time I talked to youguys, and uh, you know,
I was venting on the way there. I was like, oh no,
you know, I specifically told youguys thanks for being there for me to
vent, because you guys somehow don'tgive me any negative feedback. So as

far as I'm concerned, you guysare way above the twelve year YouTube viewers
I've had for years. So Iappreciate all that and all you guys listening

(07:10):
is not YouTube. We could dowhatever we want. But anyways, do
you see how this is happening rightnow? Listen? Do you see how?
You know? Again? So Imade my wife put all this stuff
up. I made my wife salmon, I made us a couple of stakes.
I made some shrimp on the grillaway from my wife because she's allergic.
And so in the meantime of allthis, here I go trying to
(07:33):
make a video testing this antenna onthe IESS International Space Station, trying to
hit the FM repeater. So andthen AO ninety one, and then AO
ninety two. I think AO ninetyone is back in the standby. I
didn't hear nothing, then fifty andyou know, I could take this time
(07:53):
on my Saturday that I haven't beenworking and spend it with my wife.
Unfortunately, I'm sitting here a gluedtrying to make YouTube videos. And that's
what gets me pissed off when thosepeople would would comment like that, because
you know, it's this is justyou know, I'm taking it too seriously.
At this point, I just wantto get these videos done, and
(08:16):
I'm gonna analysis right now. Andyou guys here, at first, before
YouTube does I am officially after Iget these videos caught up in the next
couple of months. I am officiallynot doing any more product reviews, not
indefinitely, but just for the times. I want to get back to regular
ham radio. But I do thesevideos. What temporarily he is going to
(08:41):
take a pause. But but honey, what what happens when when I make
a video in our podcast but thensomeone sends something they say, hey,
you want to make a video ofto sense? What happens? Why do
I get stressed out? When theyget stressed out? He's overloaded? Yeah,
because I can't get temporarily he's goingto take a pause. I can't
get home in time to make avideo that I tell him, Oh,
I'll get this done this week.You know, I want to check this
(09:03):
product out and I can't. Andwhat does that do for us hunting in
our life? Tell them honestly,actually, excuse me. These are my
podcasters, These are my buddy.You could tell them whatever. Actually,
I think that we've been handling itquite well all these years, because trust
me, it's been a lot ofyears. He's been really busy and he
uh, he takes a lot oftime out to do his videos. How
(09:28):
does that affect you what happens sometimeswhen you make dinner and I come home,
I'm late. Oh no, thatwas a long time ago. Years
ago. I learned. We we'vewe've subjected to the fact where he makes
dinner when he's ready for us,and it's yummy. He makes really yummy
(09:48):
dinners. But back in the day, I would make dinner and I'd be
like, honey, it's dinner time. Be eight o'clock, honey, wait
wait, wait, wait wait,wait here it comes midnight, honey,
and his pork chops were like shewas sleeping leather. She left him under
foil. Yeah, he left hisplate. But look that was years ago.
(10:09):
Now now, well, now nowI'm putting No, now he's turning
forty, and he's like, whoa, I'm putting us. I'm putting us
in front of the videos. Andat the same time, so we eat
dinner and then but then I gotthese people that send me products, and
I'm like, dude, I'll getto it. What do you mean you
said last week? Well it's Tuesday, that's a week in two days,
(10:30):
and they freak out. So I'mgoing to get back to making videos again.
You tube, not icm tube,not this tube, not this guy
over here tube that wants to knowYouTube, which means like a fire camera
up anytime? What make a video? And if I'm satisfied with it,
(10:52):
I don't give a shit what anybodysays about it. It's going up YouTube
your own motive. Yeah, exactly, not like, oh man, I
set you this and and you know, uh, you gotta get this supper,
but you haven't got this upper andhere I like, dude, I
gotta work, you know what Imean. But hey, this is why
I freaked out last time, becauseof all that with this side gig that
(11:18):
I have, of all that,what the side gig I have? Then
I got people telling me to askmyself. That's when I freaked out.
And that's when you guys heard it. But you know not when not one
negative comment came from y'all when Ifreaked out, ventage you So go ahead.
Now she's excited to be on thepodcast game. No, this is
great because now you know I'm learninghow to use my words. He's done
(11:43):
being a puppet. When was thatever a puppet? When was that a
puppet? No, because some ofthese people do not love it. Everyone
everyone wanting him to do what theywant. When he want no, but
no way to sucking. Now,hold on, because you're confusing them.
Have I ever done videos because ofwhat somebody told me to do? No,
(12:03):
no, no, no, no, I've never no no, no,
because I'm in a puppet because somebodywants you to do a review on
a certain right. I'm not wantingto stop, but I've never I've never
done anything on a video that someone'stold me. How you need to say
this? Absolutely not no, Ihave no no no no no no no
no no no no, absolutely notno no no no, no, no,
(12:24):
no, no no. Eric doesnot do videos and say anything.
No, it doesn't. Wait letme finish. No, because now you
just screwed me up. I'm ata puppet as far as he's already told
you a few minutes back, he'snot going to do YouTube videos for when
people you know, send reviews forthings you know, puppet meaning you gotta
(12:46):
have it done in a week.It's been two days. Where's my video?
Where's my have you tried to haveyou done? They don't realize puppet.
That's what I mean, puppet.In other words, yes, he
can do his own thing. That'swhat I meant by being a puppet okay,
because it's very stressful when he haspeople calling constantly or texting or emailing,
(13:09):
whatever the case may be. Well, let's let's get to let me
I'm gonna cry off. Let's getdown to brass tasks. Because honey,
my podcast usually eight to ten minutes, we're at thirteen minutes. Let's get
down the science about this, okay. And I can't believe I'm doing this
at what what time is I Andthat was because of a like multiple satellite
passes. I could be in bedbecause I'm so tired. But the science
(13:31):
behind this is this. You youmay watch YouTube channels that people have production
people they pay or high scores theyhire or or or they they they do
this or they quit their job todo this. Where listen, I had
the same laptop for last like threeyears, memory card memory cards. She
(13:54):
just said, camera, how oldis my camera? Old? Okay?
So so I do this like justbuy myself in in the living room,
in the bedroom, and people don'tunderstand. This is another thing that pissed
me off, and they're like,you know, you need to like this
is what pisses me off the most. Oh man, you need to your
(14:15):
your aspect ratio and this you shoulddo that, dude, bro, get
your own YouTube channel and just fuckingmake your own. Don't tell me what
I could shoot in four K.I can make all this. Oh damn
radio concepts. Have you noticed I'vedropped all that in my videos. I
don't say anything like, hey guys, this is kJ four wise. No.
(14:39):
I start the video with a sentencehave you ever heard of this?
Or remember why I talked about this? Right? So then when these people
like yell at me like they don'tget it, because some of these other
YouTube channels you're watching are totally likelike they go buy cameras every three months,
and they got like five computers running, and they got people help and
they got cameraman at hamdfest. Ido this myself. Oh and they quit
(15:03):
their full time job and their wiveswork and support their flat. But I'm
not listen, listen, this isa lot of YouTube channels. I'm not
saying ham Radio. I'm saying peopletake this way too extreme, Like like,
man, I don't want to outany people because there's like tons of
YouTube channels I watch. I dothis all like right now, I'm doing
(15:26):
this on my cell phone. Istarted a podcast. Honey. You remember
with the microphone, and I boughtthe YETI microphone. I had to be
like, oh, no, excuseme, honey, God do this uploads
I was on shortwave radio. OhI gotta be like, oh, I
gotta yeah, exactly, don't talkto no, No, screw that,
dude. I do this and youknow what, Hey, everybody sends me
(15:46):
emails. They love it when Ido podcast, driving bluetooth, hands free,
staring out the window, just talkingabout whatever. They love it.
And let me tell you, myhusband has a full time job, major
full time job, and a lotof time of it is yeah. Yeah,
So I'll wrap this up quick,but I will say because you guys
(16:07):
are listening, and I'm going toadmit to you because I won't lie to
you. I never have. Yes, I've had a few shots tonight.
The quit and drinking thing, asI told you about, I've slowed down
a lot the last few days.I've been so stressed at work. I
haven't been bombed every day on theday off. Like again, I'm up
at two o'clock in the morning becauseof satellite passes, but hanging out and
(16:32):
here I am doing the podcast.Had a few shots after a shrimp.
I mean, I mean it's shrimpsteak salmon. Great. The battle of
the drinking is very tough, andI'll get back to the thing again.
But at least guys know that Iam making a change. I'm trying to
and I'm gonna be forty, soI'm trying to utilize that forty time to
(16:53):
be to make my mark. ButI'm not gonna lie to you guys.
Yes, I was telling in thepodcast, Oh day seven, I'm not
drinking. Yes, I'm have afew shots tonight, a couple of beers.
But I hope you don't, youknow, hate me or you forgive
me. Go ahead, honey,I'm not gonna take anything from him.
He did a great job trying andhe's still he's doing all right. This
(17:15):
work is a little bit, yes, this work is trust man, at
least, at least at least I'mnot spending my days just my days off,
just just destroyed, wasted. He'sdoing great. Here's my thing.
If anybody ever, you know,gets a hold of him, let him
know when he's feeling bad about turningforty. His wife is tarting forty nine
on January fourth, And for me, he needs to. You know,
(17:41):
he's not worry So listen. Thischick doesn't even know what it is.
Well, and she turns forty oneday, I'll be there for her,
okay, because turning turney forty isgonna be crazy. I'm scared, like
I'm over halfway dead. What waywe did? I lived at seventy.
If I lived to seventy, I'mover halfway dead. I'm turning fifty here,
I am making here. I amworry about people on comments on fucking

gmail dot com. I will cleanup my mouth. But listen. If
let's say I lift a seventy andI'm gonna let this dude watching my YouTube
videos like talking about my grandson whatever, I'm I'm forty, and that's bothering
(18:26):
me. That that's what I'm saying. That's I'm trying to figure out.
