Speaker 11 (07:25):

of free goodies that.

Speaker 7 (07:43):
Came in those stories.

Speaker 10 (07:44):
Yeah, that was a good time.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
I'd like to mention our sponsors today is a Golden
Pizza and Wings.

Speaker 7 (07:53):
Right over there on Olive and Waterman Avenue.

Speaker 6 (07:55):
Thank you Ted so much for your incredible pizza six
ninety five plus tax.

Speaker 7 (08:01):
All day, every day at Golden Pizza and Waks.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
Now they have another one over there at Golden and Highland,
so if you want to go either, or there's one.

Speaker 7 (08:10):
In Colton one in Fontana.

Speaker 6 (08:12):
So if you're hungry for some pizza and you want
something kind of cheaper for the kids, you know, you know,
I'm about the kids. I am all about the kids,
and I always think about things that how we can
make life better for them. And there's a reason that
I do this. And it's not just toys and musical
instruments and representations, or it's not just going out and

(08:35):
exercising everything. Everything we do for the kids creates possible
nostalgia for them to treat our area better when they're adults.
So we're gone, So I would rather have that effect
after I'm dead too, you know. So, So if you
can help kids create good feelings towards our area, the

(08:57):
high desert and everything, Yeah, and Sara Mara, Nadina and County,
then they'll have that later on, because.

Speaker 10 (09:03):
It sure will.

Speaker 7 (09:04):
We have to build that.

Speaker 8 (09:05):
We have to work on that.

Speaker 6 (09:06):
We haven't done a good job of purtaying our areas
as beautiful as they are.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
We have bad elements, but we have incredible.

Speaker 10 (09:13):
Elements and stuff.

Speaker 12 (09:15):
Sure, she's just getting out the freeway right now. It's
nice just driving off his street. They've changed a lot
just getting off the freeway.

Speaker 10 (09:19):
It almost has a fifth street corridor.

Speaker 12 (09:22):
Yeah, it feels like I'm kind of like in Lake
Forest or Nervine kind of area.

Speaker 10 (09:27):
You know. It's got a little bit of a vie.

Speaker 7 (09:28):
Those weren't you know, big box store you know, Yeah,
but I wish it was homegrown on Mom and pops.

Speaker 11 (09:35):
But yeah, all businesses.

Speaker 13 (09:37):
But it's nice to see that San Berdino is you know,
coming to look better, look nicer, look cleaner, because it's
been a it's been a bit of a it's been
hard struggle for them for a while. And that area
especially looks really nice compared to what it does.

Speaker 12 (09:52):
And the problem for me is like, you know, I'm
not born and raised here, but I got here, and
uh it's like eighty nine, I got ninety. I got
here in nineteen ninety and uh still, even though it
looks nice on that block, I know what neighborhoods behind it,
so it still looks like the Idiocracy movie where the
costco is in the middle of the slum area. So
it's I don't care, How'm gonna say, pretty up this street.
I know it's on the other side of that. I

(10:12):
know it's on I know it's on sixth Street.

Speaker 11 (10:17):
But it's nice to.

Speaker 13 (10:18):
See the buildings, very nice, and it's nice to see
that there's people walking around. And it didn't seem you know,
it didn't see as trap as it has in the past,
which was really cool.

Speaker 7 (10:29):
You've been working on that a long time.

Speaker 10 (10:31):
That's good, and it's.

Speaker 7 (10:32):
Uh it's called the Fifth Street Corridor.

Speaker 10 (10:35):
That's cool. That's good.

Speaker 6 (10:36):
And like it if you go down and you turn
right there at the at the in and out. That's
all the spent dispensaries.

Speaker 7 (10:43):
Right, so you got as nice Dizzy down the way.

Speaker 10 (10:47):
Nice who's gonna open a cafe right there? You've got
to open a cafe. Now he's got if.

Speaker 11 (10:51):
We can get cannabis.

Speaker 10 (10:53):
Loun Tom Hey kid from San Gie wants to open
the smoke spot, right. Yeah, well I went to see
her either.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
But you want to feed those kids good And maybe
you guys are having some cannabis on your Friday night
with your family, go to Golden Pizza and Wings.

Speaker 12 (11:13):
Yeah, of course I only enjoy I only enjoy cannabis
on days and with y over the eaves.

Speaker 7 (11:19):
And get it all over there, and uh say hello
to Ted for us. It's some great pizza.

Speaker 6 (11:24):
And they've got a good salad over there ten ninety
five they do, and they got salad without chicken.

Speaker 8 (11:29):
So for vegetable.

Speaker 11 (11:30):
I've vegan salads from there.

Speaker 13 (11:32):
And when I wasn't vegan, I did go to Golden
Pizza a lot, and my kids preferred their pizza over
any other, uh similar priced pizzas in the area.

Speaker 11 (11:41):
They really liked Golden Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:43):
So you heard it, Go get a pizza tea. I
also have to mention a pal Charter Academy over a
Muscoy Now they have a two campuses, a high school
in a middle school.

Speaker 7 (11:57):
They're a new sponsor and we.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
Had an audible time over there in Muscow this weekend.

Speaker 7 (12:03):
They had an Easter event through their I E Live.

Speaker 6 (12:08):
Uh, like they have a live market there it is
and uh they had kgg I ninety nine one over.

Speaker 8 (12:14):
There, Yes they did.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
It was a huge Eastern gun but like several of
them so the kids, you know, like they did them
in age groups and put them all over their nice football.

Speaker 7 (12:27):
Field brand new. It looks good.

Speaker 10 (12:29):
That's yes.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
They have a salmon well put in all their exercise equipment.
They have a automotive department they.

Speaker 10 (12:41):
Have us are using them too.

Speaker 6 (12:44):
Yeah, this is yeah, this is this is uh yeah,
this is going to be Yeah, this is going to
be a definite positive sponsorship for this for our show,
right wonder And we also get to do a community
events with the kids and stuff like that. I seen
most of the community members that can get involved with
the with our youth there, So that makes me feel

(13:07):
comfortable there right. Yes, you know, because sometimes you'll get
involved in things and you'll see people and like all
the vendors are from Riverside or you know, like, that's
not our community. That's people that are just trying to
make money, right, So I don't I don't fault that.
You can, you can mix those people in, but I'd
rather have homegrown people.

Speaker 7 (13:26):
From the area and then we can you buy local stuff.

Speaker 12 (13:28):
Right, Which is really nice to hear it, just in
the whole sentence that you said again growing up here
from the nineties is to hear Muscoy is doing good
things like that, just to me is a powerful statement
and so grateful to hear that. Yes, dude, that is
really a blessing to hear that neighborhood has.

Speaker 8 (13:42):
Been there about twenty great twenty years, I think.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
And the coolest thing on the campus is actually a
hybrid It's not hybrid, it's a grafted grapefruit and lemon troops.

Speaker 10 (13:57):
So cool. Yeah, I just I just blew my mam away,
you know, my mom.

Speaker 12 (14:00):
So yesterday on Sunday, we had lunch with them because
my nephew got baptized. Congratulations they congratulations, Ryming, good job.
And I told her about a grafted fruit tree because
she just moved to the Beaumont area and she's like, oh,
you get a bunch of fruit trees.

Speaker 10 (14:15):
So she tells all these trees.

Speaker 12 (14:16):
I was like, why don't you just get like three
trees and you get a pair and apricot and apple.
And she looked at me like I was talking to
her in Japanese. She did not know anything about grafted
trees and fruit trees. And so, yeah, it's it's great
to know that they're they're doing the grafting, they're showing
these stuff because it's very important for me.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
It's the interesting thing was that it actually survived both grafts.
Very cool, Yeah, because oftentimes people don't take care of
their grafted trees and one grows bigger than the other,
or actually the rootstock, it takes over the whole thing
and you end up with inferior fruit or.

Speaker 7 (14:48):
Not the four different rieties you wanted. Now.

Speaker 6 (14:50):
I have actually personally grafted avocados before and had them
set cool. But according to my grandpa, and he told
me this, he said, it's gonna land on and break
it off. I'm like, no, it's not, Grandpa, say in
a Dane bird landed on it and broke it off.

Speaker 7 (15:08):
So be careful with those grass.

Speaker 8 (15:10):
Make sure you protect them good.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
I'd also like like to thank Paul Charter Academy for
throwing that event for the youth. I mean to see
all those kids like grabbing those eggs and everything.

Speaker 11 (15:20):
I mean, I have fun with that fun.

Speaker 6 (15:22):
Yeah, And to have a place where they can go
that's not in our school district system.

Speaker 7 (15:29):
That's different.

Speaker 10 (15:30):
Just that's important. A place to go.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
Yeah, for the kids that sometimes need a little bit
more extra help. They even have a side room where
the kids have massage chairs that they could just relax,
put their feet up and just you know, and just
get over whatever is going on and then maybe talk
to a counselor and see what's actually causing them to

(15:54):
act out in school and things.

Speaker 10 (15:56):
And that's what's very much needed, is the conversation.

Speaker 6 (15:58):
Because our our youth are our future, and we want
to create good so they'll create.

Speaker 8 (16:04):
Good later definitely.

Speaker 7 (16:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (16:06):
So we so thank you pal Chard Academy for that.

Community, Yeah, our future.

Speaker 6 (19:05):
All right, before I get into what we're going on,
I'll let you know a little bit about what I'm
doing in my life.

Speaker 7 (19:12):
I'm doing our gardens.

Speaker 10 (19:14):
Right.

Speaker 6 (19:15):
So I had this butterfly garden that an a lantana,
a bird poop lantana. Right, you guys know what a
bird poop lantana is.

Speaker 10 (19:23):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (19:23):
Yeah, all right, So yeah, they just come from anywhere,
but sometimes they're pretty right something.

Speaker 10 (19:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (19:29):
So I planted a milkweed for the butterflies a few
of them in the garden, and they had like overgrown.
So I was like, oh, I wasn't really living that.
My mom's too much. So I let the lantana grow
on its own and it took over half of the
garden and so when I chopped it off at the
route and it dried out, it became a.

Speaker 7 (19:50):
Bunch of thorns. Yeah yeah, so like never again, I am.

Speaker 10 (19:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (20:00):
So, but now I have a basil in there, some zucchini, tomatoes, pepper,
and you team need to start your garden.

Speaker 8 (20:09):
It is time.

Speaker 10 (20:10):
It is time.

Speaker 11 (20:11):
I already have.

Speaker 7 (20:12):
So tell us what you guys got going on right now?

Speaker 11 (20:15):
I have.

Speaker 10 (20:15):
She's the little fairy in the garden. I just I
just build the dirt. She wets it with the plants,
so it's good stuff.

Speaker 13 (20:21):
I have some kale, some tomatoes, a couple of varieties
of tomatoes, cucumbers for pickling, sweet.

Speaker 11 (20:29):
Potatoes, purple potatoes.

Speaker 10 (20:33):
What else do I.

Speaker 6 (20:34):
Did you get a lot of purple? I saw you
got one hard one, Yeah, you got one.

Speaker 11 (20:39):
They are doing quite well every year.

Speaker 13 (20:41):
Whatever, just seed a couple of the ones from the
last one and it just keeps going and they're really good.

Speaker 10 (20:47):
We learned a lot last year.

Speaker 12 (20:48):
She gets pretty you know, she she gets a little
wild doing things, and so she got a little wild,
like oh, let's learn this.

Speaker 10 (20:54):
And then we're like, oh my god, this is you
don't need a lot.

Speaker 11 (20:57):
So we potatoes turned into like she had.

Speaker 12 (20:59):
She could probably plant potato wild, sweet potatoes all over
the high desert and then we could have been harvested
all over the place.

Speaker 7 (21:06):
Yeah, they take over and if.

Speaker 11 (21:08):
They're happy, they just grow all over everything.

Speaker 7 (21:11):
Did you get a lot of baby sweet potatoes?

Speaker 11 (21:13):
Oh my god, Yes, And for some reason we did it.

Speaker 13 (21:15):
They were like the foliage was like trying to go
over all his cactus, like it was just trying.

Speaker 10 (21:21):
To yareat groundcover.

Speaker 13 (21:24):
But I was very happy to get those expensive sweet potatoes,
the purple ones that you can't get anywhere, like except
for paying like what we're paying.

Speaker 11 (21:32):
I forgot that the farmer's market was like ridiculous price.

Speaker 13 (21:35):
I'll buy one of those and then I cut it
into slits and I made it and hit my own.

Speaker 7 (21:40):
And that's what we did. You can do that, team.

Speaker 6 (21:42):
You could take a sweet potato from from the store
and just cut, make sure you have an eye.

Speaker 7 (21:47):
There's eyes on it a place. You could root it
in water if you wanted to, or just stick it
right in the dirt and keep it wet.

Speaker 10 (21:53):
She's a sweet potato.

Speaker 12 (21:54):
The size of your fist will give you, I'm not
even lying, almost a thousand slips a bunch of little
plants that that's the plants. When they grow off, they
calm slips and you're able to cut them off and
each one is a plant. You'll get just the size
of your fist. A sweet potato, you have enough to
plant the right.

Speaker 10 (22:08):
Off of it.

Speaker 11 (22:09):
I had one piece. It was like ten plants. I
was overwhelmed.

Speaker 13 (22:14):
I was like, who needs sweet potatoes at this point?

Speaker 6 (22:17):
You know, we just got those at the lower Land
of Farmers Market, right, So we cut them all up
and then like we read later, Oh, you're supposed to
draw them out and everything, but it didn't matter.

Speaker 13 (22:27):
They grow well what I and what I what I
tell people, like where we're at that it's a little
less wet, so you I put them in half in soil,
the pieces, just half in soil, and then not under
the soil like a potato, because sweet potatoes actually will
just rot if you put them fully under soil and
then just start sprouting a bunch of slips and then shoot,

(22:48):
I think we had like thirteen fourteen plants. I had
to like go down though.

Speaker 11 (22:52):
It was it was overtaking the entire year.

Speaker 7 (22:54):
Yes, they get overwhelmed.

Speaker 6 (22:57):
Yeah, I got some hammy melons too. From last They
did the same thing on the fence. So I've been
utilizing the fence.

Speaker 7 (23:03):
Is more there you go, because it's all it's not
getting used.

Speaker 11 (23:07):
Right right as well.

Speaker 12 (23:08):
Yeah, and today it was the first day I watered
all my cactus, so all the trackicerises and all those
plants just barely got their first watering of the season today.

Speaker 7 (23:15):
So it's you know, besides just rain.

Speaker 10 (23:18):
Yeah, yeah, they get the rain there.

Speaker 12 (23:20):
You know, all my stuff is hard grown and it's
out in the in the in the environment. So when
the winter comes, I stop watering things around October and
then if it gets rain and stuff is fine, but
I don't intentionally water them with city water tap water.

Speaker 10 (23:32):
I don't give them teas er.

Speaker 12 (23:35):
Oh yeah, because you need to dehydrate the cactuses if
you're into, like I'm into extremely decorative cactuses with the
amazing flowers, like some.

Speaker 10 (23:43):
Of the most beautifulst flowers you ever see on a cactus.

Speaker 12 (23:45):
And the flower only last is for twenty four hours,
so like I have to spend you know, three hundred
and sixty four days to enjoy one day of their efforts.
So it's a beautiful thing to work on, so I
have to I had learned a lot. I work with
breeders all around the world. For cactus breeders. There's amazing
mass cactus breeding world in Germany, which is crazy because
it's not a desert and they all have drawling greenhouses
and when they send me plants, these little tiny little

(24:07):
plants from their greenhouses and so you know, here I
have to really be careful with them so they can
take our weather and stuff. But it's been really nice
to grow some of these and to learn how to
make sure that they're still going. I have one plant's
called super apricrot, and this flower is one of the
most beautiful at flowers and track a serious family. And
to keep that plant alive in the high desert.

Speaker 7 (24:27):
See that one in my head.

Speaker 10 (24:28):
Yeah, it looks like a looks like a saw blade.
It's so cool.

Speaker 12 (24:32):
And that was just to learn how to make sure
that so dehydrating them is where they don't die in
case I get snow. I'm in Victorville, so we get snow,
we get you know, we'll get times these now the
seventeen degrees for a couple of hours and stuff.

Speaker 10 (24:45):
And so I've learned.

Speaker 12 (24:46):
I've been there for almost nine years now, and so
learning all the way to grow in that environment has
definitely been different from growing when I live by the
Palm Springs area, so different.

Speaker 7 (24:55):
Do the vegetables grow well with the cactus? Is there?

Speaker 10 (24:58):
Very good?

Speaker 12 (24:59):
Actually, the ca to grow better because I water them
when I remember Amazon's out there every day watering the plants,
and so show a water one here and there, so
they get a little bit of extra love. But I
do a thing called neglect tech, and that's too they
got to be. You build a real strong soil and
then you make sure that the soil can hold enough
water and that leaves less maintenance for you to be.

Speaker 10 (25:22):
You know, I'm out there. I want to be.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
It's hard to kill those cactuses.

Speaker 11 (25:27):
They don't want to die.

Speaker 10 (25:29):
There are some that do have a pretty good success
rate of whacking plants.

Speaker 13 (25:34):
Every every winter he leaves them out there. He's like,
if they die, they die. That's I didn't grow them
to baby them. I mean, there was a time where
he would bring them in, but now it's like and
every so often we lose one, but they I will say.

Speaker 11 (25:49):
They're sturdy plants, very sturdy.

Speaker 12 (25:51):
And then there's something that she takes care of. I
walk by and I'm like, man, you're supposed to die.
I keep watering that thing. Stop watering that thing.

Speaker 13 (25:57):
It's all in the coreer and I'm like, it needs water.
I didn't know he was leaving it too.

Speaker 12 (26:01):
So yeah, today was the first day they got watered.
And I'll you know, over the summer, once it gets
to like over one hundred and four degrees, the water
uptake takes a little bit more. We have a watering
system and stuff for the vegetable garden and stuff, but
the cactus garden needs I have to be out there
and pay attention at those times. So it's a right now,
it's a good time. The garden was nice. She's getting

(26:22):
seeds going. And you know, we have a shade cloth
that covers about, you know, sixty percent of our yards.
So it's uh, it helps a lot with us growing
in our region because we have a pretty intense sun.

Speaker 10 (26:32):
Being in the high desert, it's a little bit different.

Speaker 12 (26:33):
So we're able to grow quite a bit of stuff
to at least November.

Speaker 6 (26:37):
If they could grow in the high desert, team you
can say, I'm Rena Diino is incredible for it.

Speaker 10 (26:42):
Well that's love that Well, that's what you know.

Speaker 12 (26:44):
I've been publishing The High Times and Cannabis Publishing magazine
since two thousand and eight. And that's kind of what
I was known for because I lived in the Hemmit
area and I was growing in breeding cannabis plants out there,
and everybody was like, well, you're in the desert and
I was like yeah, and I'm breeding and I'm making
these seeds. And Ed Rosenthal, who wrote all these books,
he was like, hey, give me a bag of seeds
and I'm gonna send it to my friends. You know,
we're on the thirty third parallel of the Earth, and

(27:06):
he sent these seeds all across the world and people
were like, man, these seeds grow amazing. We can't kill
these plants. They just do really good. And I told
them all the seeds are grown in one hundred ten degrees,
like they're going to survive if they're not anywhere in
the desert.

Speaker 10 (27:19):
They're really happy and it's like extremely happy life.

Speaker 6 (27:24):
So the desert environment can actually be incredible because you
can have multiple harvests, you know, in a row.

Speaker 7 (27:32):
Out there in Indio. I mean they just grow crop
after crop after crop.

Speaker 13 (27:37):
After I was about to say my tomatoes were because
the heat was so late in our season like I had.
I didn't have to pull my tomato plants like I
usually do. They didn't freeze right away.

Speaker 6 (27:48):
Pool my tomato plants a second year. But like sometimes
if you just plan a new one and they grow
so much better, you know, like like but you but
you kind of become attached to that all plant.

Speaker 11 (28:00):
You know, you're like my, my, but our plants.

Speaker 13 (28:04):
It's super hard to keep them alive if it does snow.
Like that's the one thing that we really haven't nothing.

Speaker 10 (28:12):
Never get a test to the annuals. Never get a
test to annual Yeah, no perennials.

Speaker 6 (28:19):
But no no, So with uh with with tomatoes, you know,
you have the indeterminate and you have the determinate right,
so ineterminate you can literally just keep growing for long
and keep it along.

Speaker 11 (28:30):
I'll take your whole life.

Speaker 7 (28:33):
Yes, a bunch of little baby cherries overfully.

Speaker 13 (28:37):
Oh, I have probably from my cherry tomato plant, probably
like a thousand seedlings that are.

Speaker 11 (28:43):
Just sprouting all over the yard already. I've already seen
them on my creat.

Speaker 6 (28:48):
That's another thing. Team, like take a tomato from the store.
You can put those seeds in the ground and get tomatoes.

Speaker 12 (28:55):
Better is just go to you know, go to Low's
Home Depot and in their sea compartments you can buy
organic seeds. You can buy stuff that's not treated with
anything that they treat that they put in State of
Brothers shelves, Walmart shelves, all that stuff to keep it
fresh on the shelf.

Speaker 10 (29:10):
Go and buipack seeds. They even sell them at Walmart.
They even seal them.

Speaker 12 (29:12):
Well, it could be a farmer market, h yeah, get farmers.

Speaker 10 (29:16):
Try to find a healthier seed.

Speaker 12 (29:18):
And you know, if you're gonna plant a garden, you know,
pay attention to your seed and that's a very important source.
And you grow organic food, it'd be the best thing
for your whole entire neighborhood body environment.

Speaker 10 (29:28):
And you know the nerds.

Speaker 7 (29:29):
You could do it in five gallon buckets.

Speaker 8 (29:31):
Oh yeah, definitely to grow a fig.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
In a thirty gallon bucket, right, it grows fruit every
single year, probably around sixteen to twenty.

Speaker 10 (29:42):
Not bad.

Speaker 7 (29:43):
But like these are big green figs and they're good.

Speaker 11 (29:46):
Right, I love figs.

Speaker 7 (29:47):
There's no excuse for you not to have something.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
Even if you add a tiny little spot in front
of your front door and you got some.

Speaker 10 (29:54):
Light right, grow food not LUNs.

Speaker 11 (29:56):
Yeah, I'm in your topic all the time, just you.

Speaker 13 (30:00):
And if you just have a small herb garden, what
that will do for your food and the flavor and
your food you know.

Speaker 11 (30:05):
Is soup.

Speaker 13 (30:06):
It's just takes things up just that much more. And
I grow as many herbs as I possibly can in
my backyard just because I like to have them. And
then they're you know, medicinal uses for all of them
as well.

Speaker 6 (30:18):
So so I know I spent a lot of time
on this team, but it is the time to get
this going. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love fresh grown basil
and tomatoes and all that stuff.

Speaker 7 (30:32):
So get it started. Team.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
If you can't afford it, you can use. You can
put plant garlic, break garlic apart.

Speaker 8 (30:39):
You know, you can do super things.

Speaker 10 (30:41):
Yeah, most of the food from the produce department you
can replant.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
So uh, look at it that way now before we
get into the music, because I can't wait, but.

Speaker 7 (30:50):
Till you always got something new. Last time it was.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
Frogs and and snakes, and we we studied those like
now you got representations here, so oh yeah, so tell
us what you're getting into now with the three D printing.

Speaker 12 (31:05):
So for the last like seven years, I've been really
following the three D printing industry. I've been to RC cars,
you know, remote control cars, like big time. I was
into them hardcore. I still like them, but not as
much as they used to take my time. So in
that one of the big things was the three D
printing of a lot of the stuff. Was to create
a lot of stuff for the RC car world. We

(31:26):
created that out of the three D printing style of
that genre. But most of the third printing world was
people trying to design stuff. They was really trying to
be pushed for like prototyping things and for engineering and
stuff like that. But you know, the those printers were
extremely expensive and it took a lot of understanding mechanically
and electronically and how to utilize them. So I was

(31:49):
not intrigued with them for anything. I did not want
to I didn't want to buy one. And the product
that came off of them looked really horrible. It's like
stacked toothpicks. It didn't look And so over the last
year I've been following, I just jumped back into it
see what was going on in the industry, and this
amazing company has came out with these Cadillac Lamborghini Hybrid

(32:12):
three D printers they call Bamboo Labs, and it's literally
pull it out of the box, pushprint, and you can
have yourself a really cool I mean, this is an
American alligator that I created. It was not designed by me.
It's designed by a companying the named Rocky Box. And
this guy really is trying to get into the taxonomy

(32:32):
of it.

Speaker 10 (32:33):
It's an articulated alligator.

Speaker 12 (32:36):
And the reason why you'll see the articulated dragons and
the lizards and all that stuff is because, like Mattel
and all those companies, they can't injection mold the way
these things articulate, and so three D printers they print
them in the way that you can actually get them
to articulate and move. And then the different types of
plastics you can get a higher quality a lower quality.

(32:58):
And so we were just most you know, three years ago,
I'm out in the desert with my rsy car and
there's a group of us out there rising and this
guy comes out. He was like, oh, I just three
D printed the body and he's crawling over these rocks
and it's about ninety six degrees and the body started
to warp. It didn't melt, it wasn't dripping or anything,
but it started to warp and just totally deform itself

(33:21):
in the sun. And I was like, man, I'm still
not by And it took him like twenty seven hours
to print that. I was like, man, a day and
a half near, damn near. And it went out, the
whole thing again thirty minutes on the rocks and it
burned it and warped. Unusable now in the hot. And
I was not filling thirty printers at all. You know,

(33:42):
people made me things and it just didn't have the
quality that you're seeing now. So these printers came out
and I started following the industry, saw some things.

Speaker 10 (33:50):
I went into a couple of spaces that these things were.

Speaker 12 (33:53):
They're creating stuff, and you know, I was on YouTube
and I went down the rabbit hole of it, and
that printer, this video came out. I'm a mechanic by trade.
That's my background is being a mechanic auto mechanic, and
so this guy was making the crescent wrench. He was
three D printing at a carbon fiber and pla plastic,
which is as a basic plastic that we use. It's

(34:15):
mostly corn syrup, and he made a crescent wrench out
of this plastic carbon fiber hybrid and he was able
to take off a one hundred pounds torque down nut
off of a screw and so that to me, I
was like wow. And he looked at the camera and
he said, Hey, We're not going to like build the
Empire State building with this, but we can at least
stop the leak. And that made a lot of sense

(34:37):
to me as being a mechanic of like, you know,
we have craftsmen tools, we have snap on tools, we
have these extraordinary tool companies out here that do that stuff.
But in our own personal worlds, there's some tools that
aren't going to ever be created because of my certain scenarios.
So getting into design work and designing these tools and
understanding engineering and function, I'm a super nerd in that

(34:58):
little world. So to me just kind of spark this
massive fire inside of me. These printers today were making
sense of it. I can actually use make use toxic
materials that are extremely toxic, and they have to be
in an enclosed system. While these materials are being superheated
and laid down to create these material these products, they
can go into the hood of your car. They can

(35:19):
go on the roof of your house. They can be
on your front yard, your backyard, you can use them
in your garden. You can use them for pretty a
lot of normal everyday things. And you know, people are
going to Harbor Freight and they're buying cheap tools, and
they're buying these things, definitely not to build a house,
but at least fix a wall. So I kind of
considered that as the same situation with a three D printer.

Speaker 10 (35:38):
We've created.

Speaker 12 (35:38):
I've created so much stuff in our house, from hat
racks to sponge holders, to spoon holders in the kitchen
for her, stuff in our bathroom, like drain caps plugs.
Of course I can go to the store and get one,
but it's really fun to sit there and to turn
off turn off.

Speaker 10 (35:55):
The social media, turn off social.

Speaker 12 (35:58):
Media, turn off YouTube stuff, turn on my mind, and
turn on this program, this CAD program, and start designing something.
That's if I want to design something. If I don't,
there's this whole world you go into.

Speaker 10 (36:09):
This world.

Speaker 12 (36:11):
So many people are designing stuff. Like I just gave
you this little you put your phone on this thing
and it's got this little he amplifies your phone, phone speaker, phonograph. Yeah,
while you're in the shower, you can amplify your phone.
It's did sounds at a nine in cent store for
three bucks, you know, like yeah, but I just wanted
to make one cool. I had some orange, and I
had some black, and I had this cool red looks
like marble, and I want to make a cool one

(36:32):
for Robert So's like, hey, do when you're in the
shower put the sun.

Speaker 10 (36:34):
It's nothing crazy cool little gifts and things like that.

Speaker 12 (36:36):
But at the same time, if I nail something really good,
you know, I actually do know a story of a
fourteen year old kid that got a three D printer
and this toy or thing that he CON's mom constantly
bottom kept failing, and so he took the fail point
and he redesigned this thing sent in the CAD program
to the company. I'm sure he had a lawyer because
he had some paper with him. The company got back

(36:56):
and they actually engineered to make their product better by
him three D printing this piece. Back in the day,
the prototyping of that would have took months, one hundreds
and thousands of dollars, and it took years. The kid
did it disover a couple of days sent it in.
The lawyer asked him, do you want to get royalties
for the next ten years or do you want one
hundred fifty thousand dollar payout?

Speaker 10 (37:17):
And the kid said, I don't know. Fourteen. He goes, well,
you know you're fourteen. Tack the buy out.

Speaker 12 (37:21):
The company might not be here in ten years. You
can take one hundred and fifty grand right now. You
just design that design something else now. And this kid
now has a reputable name in this industry as being
an engineer just because he has a three D printer
and filled the fail point of something. He really enjoyed
a lot. So to me, that inspired me a lot
of things around my house, stuff.

Speaker 10 (37:38):
That I'm into.

Speaker 12 (37:38):
I'm a super nerd when it comes to stuff like this.
I don't expect this to be in everybody's world, but
it is nice to create the you know, I'm into
reptiles and stuff.

Speaker 6 (37:45):
Dude, I guarantee this will be in everybody's house eventually.

Speaker 7 (37:49):
This is this is going to be a normal thing.

Speaker 12 (37:50):
So the company they're helping, so the company, Bamboo Labs,
they're not calling it a printer. They're actually calling a
home appliance, and they just released their new printer, Flagship Printer,
which amazing.

Speaker 6 (38:00):
I'm sure even food, you know, like that, wouldn't that
be so cooling?

Speaker 12 (38:06):
Printed food is being three D printed in Asia right now,
it is, and so they are building homes with three
D printers. There's a company in Utah that just got
signed on this contract to build this new stadium that
they're building in Utah.

Speaker 7 (38:20):
Organs human organs.

Speaker 10 (38:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, they could print those.

Speaker 12 (38:23):
And so this guy got this whole construction company is
building this entire stadium with all three D printed concrete.
I was talking to a gentleman last month about the
fires and palisades and all that stuff. And there's already
a company in the University of Massachusetts that builds homes,
and all they'd have to do is get those printers
to the area and build a jail, a courthouse, and
a community center, and they can have their community starting

(38:44):
to thrive back again. It doesn't take twenty years, it
doesn't take millions of dollars. In southern California's wood is
not sustainable, but concrete is, and so is so is technology,
and so as engineers and so put them to work
get them to work at your community.

Speaker 10 (38:58):
Back on.

Speaker 12 (38:58):
Quit dragging your feet like it's nineteen twenty six. We
are in the year of twenty twenty five and we
have printers that can.

Speaker 10 (39:04):
Actually move forward. Yes, totally.

Speaker 12 (39:06):
And I just that kind of like just segued into
my internal spirit of like, dude, this is the future
of things. The printing food, the printing organs, the printing
buildings and houses are printing printing everything. You know, the
injection mold industry is as on its last leg.

Speaker 10 (39:19):
It is the green mile.

Speaker 12 (39:20):
Mass toys and mass production of warehouse holding of stuff
is falling apart today. There's no reason that you need
to walk into a costco and have billions and billions
of products in a in a store when you can
make your own you can grow your own food, you
can print your own whatever.

Speaker 10 (39:38):
You know, you can sew your own clothes.

Speaker 13 (39:40):
We even saw, you know, people are taking this and
innovating things that like, of course I don't think I
would use but there was a gentleman who made a shirt.

Speaker 11 (39:48):
He's three D printed a shirt. I wouldn't use it.

Speaker 7 (39:52):
I mean, I can just imagine that grabbing my hands.

Speaker 13 (39:54):
You could be super It would just be super uncomfortable.

Speaker 7 (39:57):
But it's cool because it's armor.

Speaker 11 (40:01):
But like, that's what I was saying.

Speaker 13 (40:03):
Tons of costumes, masks, movie props. You know, if your
kid wants something from a movie, you don't have to
go buy it at the store.

Speaker 11 (40:12):
You can print it now.

Speaker 12 (40:13):
And today, like most of the world today is, it's
about engineering and prototypes of stuff, and it's just a
prototype industry. If you're into any kind of customization industry,
you should have a three D printer and you should
take the time and get a quality one because you're
gonna have a horrible experience if you don't buy a
quality one with good support and leading the headway of

(40:34):
the industry, and they're not that expensive to even be
in that space.

Speaker 7 (40:36):
Well, thank you for sharing.

Speaker 6 (40:37):
I wanted to share that with our with our viewers
and listeners, man, because it's a totally new, uh like
genre that's really starting to take hold, and I don't
think it's going anywhere, and I really do believe there'll
be a day where there'll be probably multiple types of
printers in your home.

Speaker 7 (40:55):
I need soap, I.

Speaker 6 (40:56):
Need you know, whatever you know, and you just put
the the raw materials in there and get to what
you want to work with.

Speaker 12 (41:04):
The Colombian shaman from Colombia, right, He's like, you know five,
I'm sorry. It's like twelve generations being indigenous from the
deep jungles of Colombia. And he's he lives in Florida now,
and he got a three D printer and he's had
one for about a year. And he asked me for
the one I had. I told them one I had.
He went and got it, and he's like, man, this
is a Lamborghini. These things work so good. This other

(41:24):
three D printer I've had has just been crap and
it hasn't been given me a good experience. And he goes,
if I was able to take this back to the jungle,
they would call this thing god, like you would open
the door.

Speaker 10 (41:36):
And there's a thing. This is no God. To me,
it is doing.

Speaker 7 (41:42):
I pull out flutes, magic.

Speaker 12 (41:45):
I make instruments, we make toys, we make things around
the house, and to me, I feel like I have
severed myself from a lot of the world.

Speaker 6 (41:52):
Play the Digiti dude before we get into the handpans,
so we're gonna move into what they also do as
sound bass and stuff. But he makes he's a digit
redo is here with the three D print.

Speaker 12 (42:02):
Is a three D printed digit redo And this is
a three D printed drone flute, Native American drone flute.
She'll probably walk it up to the camera close because
she likes doing that. While she's showing you that, I'm
gonna play the did we do because I have a
traditional did you do?

Speaker 10 (42:17):
Right here, which is, let's did you do this? Yeah?

Speaker 12 (42:24):
So what she's showing you right there is a Native
American flute that's in the key of D five and
it's beautiful. This is a nano digital they call it.
It's cool printed in cool colors. This is a handheld did.

Speaker 14 (42:37):
You do.

Speaker 10 (42:55):
This? Little thing? Does what this thing does?

Speaker 7 (42:57):
So now show us a down comparison with that one. Yeah,
that's what it's long.

Speaker 6 (43:16):
You're actually better with that one. You practice a.

Speaker 7 (43:21):
Lot of years, yes, sir.

Speaker 6 (43:23):
But if you got you know, your light, and you
you got this and you're like, man, I really like this,
you might be you might want to buy the more expensive.

Speaker 12 (43:33):
For learning, you know, like I said, these for twenty
dollars to people that did you really do? Or there's
one hundred dollars you know it's I use that one
and I travel and do shows near the beach and
stuff traditional did we do from the Aboriginal people start
about five hundred dollars and up what.

Speaker 10 (43:46):
In did you agave? Did you do? Made here in
southern California start a six hundred dollars.

Speaker 7 (43:50):
How come those are more expensive?

Speaker 12 (43:52):
It's because they take a lot of work from they
make their lightweight you can pretty much carry with your pinky,
and they sound so good once they're made properly in
the lave forever.

Speaker 10 (44:00):
And so I got the digitido is really.

Speaker 6 (44:03):
What I've seen those before, and they do sound beautiful.

Speaker 12 (44:06):
But then you see that like I'm holding a five
foot stick and I'm trying to breathe everywhere, And if you're.

Speaker 10 (44:10):
Gonna learn, it's really hard.

Speaker 12 (44:11):
So if you're gonna learn, if you want to learn,
you feel like this work did you do is amazing
for sleep apnea. It helps the muscle in your throat,
stops you from snoring, and builds a stronger muscle so
you can have less sleep apnia issues. And so just
learn the didido and how to play it will actually
help your muscles in your throat. So it's not just
so much about doing sound healing or playing the didgeridoo.
It's mostly about a technique as a like a routine

(44:34):
workout for your throat muscles. So when I first started playing,
actually tore a muscle in my throat, and I didn't
understand the feeling.

Speaker 10 (44:39):
I didn't know if it wasn't a sore throat.

Speaker 12 (44:41):
It was kind of odd, and I found out that
actually tore a muscle straining myself trying to.

Speaker 10 (44:46):
Learn how to play the didgeridoe.

Speaker 12 (44:47):
I was trying to play them on the big ones,
so I started learning on smaller ones and it got easier.
So for twenty dollars, you can see if you feel
connected to these instruments, and that's what I'm trying to
do with people instead of paying six hundred dollars. And
it's sitting in the corner of your house and you
have a five foot stick that's heavy to pick up,
hard to understand.

Speaker 10 (45:02):
How to play.

Speaker 12 (45:02):
You have one in your hand twenty bucks driving on
the freeway.

Speaker 6 (45:07):
So the one question I do have is it is
here three D printers big enough that could print that.

Speaker 10 (45:15):
I could print that. I could print that in pieces,
oh in pieces?

Speaker 11 (45:17):
Oh okay, enough to print that as well.

Speaker 13 (45:21):
But you know, the average person wouldn't have that and
they need them that much.

Speaker 7 (45:24):
But like if you were like a business or something, yeah, no.

Speaker 12 (45:27):
And then again if you got one of these from
me and you're playing it for a couple of months
and you're like, Wow, I've really got the hang of it.
Really like this, I want a real one. Introducer to
my friend Jeff Ross and lives in Tustin and he
makes Cagave did redoos and he's one of the most
amazing did redoo makers in America, And so I can
get your traditional traditional did you do made locally, So
it's really I'm not trying to take away from that industry.

(45:49):
Same with the flutes, Like this drone flute would be
three to four hundred dollars made out of wood traditionally,
you know, and we offer him really affordable for people
around thirty dollars. We're able to offer some of these
instruments to people so they get to experience to them.
And we're talking earlier and we're like, oh, for the kids,
but I'm not a kid, and she's not a.

Speaker 10 (46:05):
Kid, and she really enjoys this flute.

Speaker 12 (46:07):
And we've been to many places and four three hundred
flutes her hands didn't fit with them well, and I
could imagine if I had ordered it online, got it, Yeah,
connect with the majorney.

Speaker 13 (46:17):
If these good flutes are they're hand carved, you know
the other the wooden flutes are hand carved. You don't
know if it's going to be a fit for you
until you put your hands on it, and if you
order it online. I know from experience that there's a
couple that I play, but I have a very hard
time playing them because my fingers don't go.

Speaker 7 (46:34):
Over the w to play for us right now?

Speaker 11 (46:37):
So this is a D five.

Speaker 15 (46:42):
Okay, yeah, on it took six hours to print.

Speaker 7 (47:10):
You've been practicing, huh for a couple of.

Speaker 10 (47:13):
Years ago, couple?

Speaker 12 (47:16):
So then you brought me here because of this thing,
right because the Hampen said bring that.

Speaker 7 (47:21):
I really wanted to hear all about that three. But
this is awesome and it always sounds incredible.

Speaker 10 (47:27):
Yes it does. So we play Sound Healing.

Speaker 12 (47:30):
We're in Victorville, and this and I are known as
High Desert Healing seven to six zero because we're in
the High Desert in Victorville area.

Speaker 11 (47:36):
We have a show this Saturday.

Speaker 12 (47:37):
Yeah, we actually have a show this Saturday in Victorville.
We do sound healing and sound meditation. She's a certified
meditation UH trainer and facilitator uh ME.

Speaker 10 (47:47):
I've been a musician my whole life.

Speaker 12 (47:49):
I've been a percussionist playing the drums and all that
stuff since the early nineties. Professional all around the world
of big musicians. So we put all of our worlds
together and we provide sound healing. We've played for therapists
for IHP. We work with traditional shamans and we play
in ceremonial spaces like ayahuasca, ayahuasca, peyote, mushroom ceremonies and
indigenous medicine practices. We support their their environment with our sound,

(48:15):
so we give people our vibrations. Ambathyists assist and I
assist Amethyst, and it's really nice. She does singing and
plays guitar, ukulele, singing bowls and harps and gongs, and
I played did redoo, hand pans, drums, gongs. It's pretty
much it. She does a lot more things than I do.
So this is called a handpan. This is made by

(48:37):
a local maker in Los Angeles. This is Accolae Instruments
or Nirvana Hampan. I also work with another gentleman named
Hamsa ham Pans. He's out of Los Angeles. Also, he
just had a hand pan festival and Josh.

Speaker 10 (48:47):
For tree this weekend.

Speaker 12 (48:48):
That's where I was this weekend, Pantasia.

Speaker 11 (48:52):
Take a look.

Speaker 10 (48:53):
I really hope I get to play there one year.

Speaker 12 (48:55):
Besides after hours around the bonfire smoking weed, but that
was a good time. This isn't the key of F sharp,
and it's called the f low Pigmy's and the Pigmy
scale is kind of the it comes from the African sound,
so it doesn't sound like Africa at.

Speaker 10 (49:13):
Alt to me.

Speaker 16 (49:56):
H yeah, man, that just.

Speaker 7 (51:37):
It's still vibrating in there, a little bait should be.
So how does that make noise? So that's make it.

Speaker 6 (51:47):
It's like a round metal like it looks like a
like a ufo, kind of like.

Speaker 10 (51:54):
Like like a barbecue.

Speaker 12 (51:56):
So these are handhammered, it's all hand hand hammer, handmade.
They press the dipples in these are insets. So the
frequency tone is in these flat parts and the harmonics
are in.

Speaker 10 (52:09):
That so it's kind of like a still drum. The
middle it's called they call it the ding.

Speaker 12 (52:13):
And this is the root note of the entire pentatonic scale.
So this isn't the key of C, and so all
the notes around it accompanied the root note. And so
this is in the key of C. And the scale
is called agan like the A, G and C. And
as you heard, this one is in the key of
F sharp and it's a pygmy scale is the African scale.
And this is a completely different sound than a whole

(52:34):
different vibe.

Speaker 6 (54:43):
Yeah, it feels like a longer vibration, like a longer.

Speaker 10 (54:51):
It's a long, sustainablem for sure. Yeah, And that's the
help of the frequencies.

Speaker 12 (54:54):
As we know, I've said here before that we have
studies that show that just being in twenty minutes of
south vibration can help rehydrate blood cells, alleviate sticky cells
and blood in your body, get rid of inflammation, irritation,
slow down Alzheimer's and dementia, and get you to sleep
rest better at.

Speaker 10 (55:11):
Night in a commune nervous system. Just twenty minutes of
a sound meditation experience.

Speaker 7 (55:18):
So how many of these do you need to create
your sound?

Speaker 2 (55:21):
Like?

Speaker 7 (55:21):
Can you do a whole show with just one?

Speaker 11 (55:24):
You could?

Speaker 12 (55:24):
I can, and I do, and I have, But I'm
blessed and i have beautiful amethysts with me, and so
she assists me with other sounds, and we've over the
last few years we've been able to really hone our
craft and our sound down to a very tight knit,
strong experience that we're able to offer to people and
we give them anywhere for about an hour to an

(55:45):
hour and a half of solid sound, vibrational experience. And
she starts it off by setting you off in a
guided meditation and then from there we hit a gong
and you're on your way and we just flow, and
you know, it's about an hour rough fleet and we
have a couple of different we flow through a couple
of different styles of sounds. And we've had people that

(56:06):
have got up and said that they dance with their
native ancestors, and you know, they're they're with their ancestors
dancing and around the fire, people swimming in the waters.

Speaker 7 (56:15):
They were put into a meditative state.

Speaker 12 (56:17):
Because just open their DNA up and go deep inside
writing pirate ships flying and stars on spaceships.

Speaker 6 (56:24):
How much does an instrument like this cost in is
there a price range like if someone wanted to get
one for their kids, or.

Speaker 10 (56:32):
Yeah, so uh yet, no, we can't.

Speaker 14 (56:36):
This is unique she'd have all another way.

Speaker 7 (56:40):
It has to be.

Speaker 10 (56:41):
Handed Yeah, they have to be hand handmade. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (56:43):
They take a couple of months to make, and usually
they're to get a quality one. I wouldn't spend less
than twelve hundred dollars, but you can get one for
four or five hundred dollars. You can get like a
three thousand dollars handpan that's been used for probably like
fifteen hundred bucks. That's a great deal. But you want
to you want to find somebody that you can tune
your handpan locally, and most handpan makers won't tune anything

(57:04):
that's not theirs. So it's not like a guitar. You
can drop it off a guitar center and they can
tune it for you, restring it, fix it. These handpans
aren't like that. So there are a lot more of
a really small niche group of musicians and creators of them.
So that's why I always recommend people. There's two amazing
builders here in Los Angeles, Hampsa Handpan and Accolte Industries,
and they're both in downtown La an hour from Sam Bardino.

Speaker 10 (57:27):
If you do have the money, reach out to them.

Speaker 12 (57:29):
Tell them Eddie Funks to sent you, and all they do,
they don't get nothing from them. I've already got all
my handpands. I don't need anything. I just like them
to know that you have heard the quality of the
pans and that you would like to go talk to
the people that you know you drop it. You never
want to drop these things at all. You know this
fifteen hundred bucks and up. You definitely want to be
careful with it. We got two minutes and so from
there you if it does for some reason, you know,

(57:54):
the kid falls in it, you drop it, or a
car accident or something like that, you're able to take
it to Los Angeles and have them repair it. Most
of the companies you'll see here on the East coast
or in Europe or Israel, Spain and there. And fortunately
with all of our tariffs Iraq, all of our tariffs
are gonna now raise all the pants. You know, the
price of the pans coming in, So just us getting
taxed by.

Speaker 10 (58:14):
Coming in from overseas.

Speaker 12 (58:16):
We're looking at about five hundred dollars just in tariff
taxes getting a handpan from overseas. So dude, five hundred dollars, now,
put that five hundred dollars in your pocket, take an
hour and drive to La Go see my friend Jay,
or go see my friend Steven. They'll crack a joke
with you about all the stupid things I've done with
them with handpans over the last five years I've been
buying them from them, and they'll show you, guys all
the different experiences scales and teach you, guys a couple

(58:37):
of things.

Speaker 10 (58:37):
So handpans are beautiful? Did reduce if you wanted those?

Speaker 7 (58:40):
And how do we find out more about your you guys'.
