We are just one week out from the first day of spring.
And while it may not feel like it, I can see fat snowflakes falling outside the cozy full house studios this very moment.
That means that it's high time again for us to get our asses in gear and get a jump on all things gardening and animal husbandry.
Whereas the pros would say, we're already well underway.
Thanks, Coach.
And that job doesn't really have an end or a beginning anyway.
So this week, we welcome back old talent and a first timer to kick the tires of our audience with some helpful, helpful reminders, pro tips, and all-around inspiration to get our audience more competent in growing and raising healthy plants and animals.
Because even if the sky never falls and the system never collapses, it's worthwhile and rewarding on its own.
so mr producer let's go
welcome everyone to full house episode 153 the world's happiest show for white fathers aspiring ones and the whole bio fam i I am your cheery host, Coach Finstock.
That's right.
The doldrums have been kicked to the curb for now, at least.
Back with another who knows how long show dedicated to our green thumbs, our farmers, our homesteaders, as well as our LARPers and dilettantes.
Before we meet the birth panel, though, big thanks to Frank Ritz for his generous donation this week.
If you'd like to be like old Frankie Baby, and we encourage you to be like that, visit us at givesendgo.com slash fullhouse or full-house.com and the support us tab.
And real quick here at the top, I want to say that quite a few people reached out after our last show with Tom Sewell to say, one, that they always enjoy hearing Tom and that he is an inspirer and a motivator for them, but that they also appreciated me opening up about a little bit of that late winter sadness, that they had been feeling it themselves and that the show helps.
So thank you for reaching out, guys.
Hang in there.
There are literally sunnier, longer days just around the corner, and we will get through this together.
And hey, you got two full houses in two weeks there.
Back on track.
All right.
Let's get our hands dirty.
First up, he would be a hell of a gardener, but he gets too easily distracted by the yard figurines of old ladies bending over in their sundresses.
It's true, Sam.
Welcome back.
Oh, man, that's funny.
Yeah.
Hey, I really appreciate it, right?
Yeah.
I appreciate these gardening shows.
They certainly have moted me and motivated me and my family to try different things over these last few years that we've been doing this.
So I'm looking forward to it.
And as far as the other topic there you allude to, you know, I've been seeing the guys in the chat talking about, hey, when are we going to have a sex show?
You know, where we talk about sex and everything.
So I started thinking about that, like we should do that and maybe even, you know, make it like a, like you got to pay five or $10 or something like that just to keep the wrong people away and make it a least.
Yeah, well, and make it.
Make it something that you, you can only listen to and not download, or something like that I was thinking.
But, you know, and I started making some notes.
I think that would be good.
Maybe we've got to get back to that, but I remember, you know, and also it was pointed out I, and I recall, you know, back in the Fatherland days, I would start talking about sex and part of the fun of it, I guess, was making the other guys uncomfortable.
So maybe I should just start.
I should just start talking about sex and not like, announce a sex show.
I don't know that, the challenge with that Sammy baby and maybe i'm a little bit of a prude but like, if we're going to talk about sex, that means us talking about sex with either women that were not our wife or talking about sex with our wives.
Uh, so it's like dangerous territory, you know.
I mean well, that's, that's true.
Yeah, you'd have to figure out.
Uh, you know what you're willing to say, but I have a lot I could say anyways, and you could just react to it, but or question it, or whatever.
You know sure, let you do the dirty work.
Yeah right right right, all right, good idea we'll, we'll think about it.
Um, all right, welcome back Sammy Baby next up.
He claims to have goats, but I am about to press x to doubt, because he is woefully lacking in sharing fun videos of them jumping around his property or otherwise running amok rollo goat details now, or i'm pressing that x button, please.
I have, I have pictures of them with little hats on and little uh, sheriff badges.
Absolutely, of course I that, that is the thing that I have.
I I don't have a lot of videos of them because they're rather difficult to film but yeah, I have a few good photos.
Yeah now, are you actually kind of annoying?
Yeah, I know, i've heard that about the guy whose car got totaled by them and they can like chew through anything.
Now, do you actually get milk from them or slaughter them for meat, or are they just sort of hanging out on your property as as friends?
They're just hanging out?
Yeah, I got them to to essentially eat uh, invasive weeds and they don't.
So uh, so they just, they just hang out and I uh, I headbutt them here and there because it's funny.
And are they breeding?
No, it's they're they're, they're weathered and just, it was literally just to eat weeds and they and they don't do that, they just, they just eat the, the grass that's bought for them and and various other things.
So you just have old mass, lazy gay goats hanging out.
Yes okay, all right.
Well maybe uh, maybe one of our special guests this week can uh change your calculation there.
He knows a lot about that stuff.
All right, making his second full house appearance, he came on episode 124 in april of last year to discuss permaculture, which I worried was going to be a snoozer, but which strangely elicited more praise from the audience than usual.
I don't know if he's a certified master gardener, but he certainly plays the part.
Sigas, welcome back brother, glad to be back on.
It's uh big shoes to fill being on after Thomas in.
Uh yeah, I challenge him to uh fill my shoes in my garden.
There you go.
Yes, pick your, pick your combat uh Sigas yeah, I was out planting seeds the other day and I took a picture of the new greenhouse and uh, you were, we're gonna.
We're gonna talk about my setup a little bit later uh, but you have a dangerous beast on the loose uh, just outside where you're recording.
Go ahead, that's some good color for the audience.
What were you looking at?
Yeah, so sat in the car waiting for it to uh warm up a little bit so we could start recording, and turned on the headlights and got a mountain lion walking around the yard, so I thought that was pretty interesting.
Want to get out and capture him and snuggle him man, have you?
I mean, have you had an issue like, are you worried about the kids?
Is this a new sighting or is this just like uh, a common occurrence out there?
They're, they're around here every now and then.
It's usually bears I have to worry about, but uh, definitely called the wife and told her to uh make sure the kids were all inside and you are really just a, a plant phd.
Are you doing any animal raising as well?
I've got chickens and ducks.
Um, i've had a cow before but uh, i've dedicated most of my land to growing plants.
That's what i've got a passion for, so that's what I do good stuff.
Well we'll, we'll lean on you heavily for that and uh, dig into what you're working on.
We actually have most of the Continental United States and some various zones represented on this show, so we're going to be in different stages of prepping and uh, your mileage may vary depending on where you live.
But that brings us up to a gentleman making his full house debut, and he is no slouch when it comes to plants.
He actually uh counseled me on what the hell is that seed anyway, we'll talk about it later uh, but he covers the animal husbandry far better than Lowly Sigas.
He is the originator of the onion and socks meme and will defend it to the death.
He's a dear friend and, of course, a proud white father as well.
Hans, welcome to full house, buddy.
Oh, thanks for having me.
Our pleasure, it's your first time.
So uh, real quick.
Ethnicity religion, fatherhood status, please.
I'm mostly germ Germanic, a little bit of Dutch and uh Christian, and then i've got four kids, a daughter and three boys.
Well done, my friend.
Are you out of the game by this point?
I think yeah, you're done with four.
Yeah, four's four.
How the hell do you know how?
Uh no four, four is wonderful.
Uh little background.
How you seem to know so much about so much when it comes to uh homesteading animal, if I have a question that you're probably at the top of the list any number of topics.
But how'd you get so good on this stuff?
Well, I mean, I I grew up working as a farmhand, like from the time I was about 10, on a couple different farms around where I grew up and then When I was in the NAVY,
we were back home and my mom and dad got some chickens and they were a little older, but they butchered them and ate the, we ate chicken that night.
And daughter, she was probably three or four at the time and they were a little tough.
I mean, they were older.
And she said, I don't like these chickens that you kill.
I like the kind that come from the store.
And I decided right then and there that my kids were not going to think that meat just came from the store.
So as soon as we got back home from that trip, we started raising rabbits on our little plot.
And we got some ducks and we started butchering things right there.
And my kids have been involved in it ever since.
Bless you and your wife for doing that.
Yeah.
Love seeing footage of your kids too.
They're impressive in their own right.
Now you, your setup, and we're going to go to our next guest here real quick, but just the Hans without revealing too much.
Like you don't live on a farm.
You're not totally out in the sticks.
You're kind of in a neighborhood and yet you're still raising a fair amount of animals.
What's your setup?
What animals are on your homestead at the moment?
Well, I mean, I am a bit out in the sticks.
I've got cattle, goats, rabbits, ducks, turkeys, geese, and chickens.
Oh, man.
On how many animals?
Roughly.
38.
Oh, okay.
All right.
The pictures lied then.
I thought you were on a smaller plot.
All right, Hans, we're going to come back to you for animals.
But before we move on, we had a last-minute parachuted in invited guest.
Of course, he rode with us back in the day talking about dirt, plants, and all that good stuff.
He is a dirt PhD.
And when he writes his book, it is going to be a new nobility of mud and toil.
Midgartner, welcome back, brother.
Hello, Victory, fellas.
Great to be back again.
Our pleasure, man.
I was glad to see you parachuted in.
Let's see.
Right here, what are you working on at the moment?
You said you were talking about clutches, whatever the hell that is.
Have at it.
Yeah, I don't know how long I'll be able to be on this evening, but that's one of the things I wanted to touch on was last year.
I was trying out cloches, which are like, it means bell in French, but it's essentially a miniature greenhouse that you put over wherever you plant.
They used to use them before like poly tunnels and stuff like that.
But I've had a lot of success with them last year, and I can't say enough good things about them.
They're great for germinating seeds without letting in insects that would normally eat those as soon as they germinate.
So, and then obviously they regulate temperature, regulate humidity.
They're awesome.
So that's one of the things I definitely wanted to talk about because I had so much success with it.
But sure.
And I, yeah, go ahead, buddy, sir.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm just, I'm also sitting in my car right now, but I'm in a parking lot.
So the only wild animals I see are tropical ones, but I'm not in the tropics.
So, yeah, I know.
I was going to say, yeah, at first I would think, oh, people like, why is this man sitting in his car having a conversation?
But yeah, I see people sitting in their car looking at their phone constantly.
I'm like, why are you just sitting in a parking lot on your phone?
I don't think that you're doing full house recordings.
About the mini pop-up greenhouses, are these store-bought?
Do they require electricity?
Is it just like a pop-up tent with some tarp?
Get into that a little bit.
No, so essentially I've just been recycling like one gallon water bottles.
So the clear ones, the clear plastic ones.
I suppose you could use the ones with the translucent plastic as well.
But yeah, I just.
cut the tapered part over off and then I turn it over upside down.
I punch like four holes in the top for like vent flaps and then I like half bury that in mulch to where the planting area, which is just planting mix that I buy and it's just planting mix because I know it doesn't have weeds in it.
All the soil prep that I talked about in previous episodes, I do that below the planting area.
So the lower stuff is still Hoogle culture and all that.
But that way I could just germinate everything where it's going to be.
And I've had a lot of luck with that.
You guys are in a much colder area.
So it's probably more for later in the season or, you know, this time of year, it's going to be for southern regions.
But I've had a lot of luck with it, especially just for the pest pressure.
It keeps a lot of the pest pressure off, which is awesome.
So yeah, it's just recycling.
Huh.
If you could send a picture or two.
Yeah, I assume for most people, if they were going to do this, they would need to wait until mid-spring or something.
I guess, you know, is there any, if there's a threat of a frost, is it inadequate or could it possibly keep those puppies alive if it gets down to 31, 30?
With the, yeah, I wouldn't do it if it was like you're going to get snow or something like that or a deep freeze.
But if you, if it's just like surface frost and that's what's going on, just enough to kill stuff if it's just exposed, I would I would definitely give it a shot because obviously the cheapest time to plant a plant is when it's a seed, you get the most value.
So sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, but from the soil microbes breaking down in the soil and then stacking that mulch super high on top of the actual soil to where it's like half burying the water bottle, it not only locks in the water bottle from like blowing away or whatever, but it, but it also helps to insulate it.
So it's almost like a little eco, not ecosystem, but like a microclimate in itself in there.
And yeah, you get stuff germinating within the first, I don't know, maybe like five to 10 days.
A lot of times it's pretty fast.
And you don't have to buy to bust out.
What's that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you don't have to buy an expensive greenhouse.
It's sort of a greenhouse on the cheap on the fly.
Yeah.
And you can do it on an individual level.
So, you know, if you want to pull some off of some plants that are growing faster, leave some on, you know, and I honestly, one of the main things I like about it is the pest exclusion because the bugs have a hard time crawling up that smooth surface.
And then the ones that do get in there have a hard time getting back out.
So you might get a few at most, but honestly, I don't see much going on in there.
And I get seedlings, they just don't skip a beat because they don't have like chunks taken out of them.
Sure.
Before we go over to Sigas and back over to Hans, Mitt Gardner, one of my perennial questions, haha, is there are some seeds that really like to be direct sow.
Now, radishes are the classic example.
Radishes are arguably the easiest thing on earth to grow.
They give you results in like three or four days.
It's still too cold here to do any direct sowing and probably too cold even to put a Pepsi bottle over things.
But to get started early, you know, things like carrots, I guess, like to be direct seed, direct sown.
But I actually put some carrot seeds in a big old pot the other day thinking that, you know, maybe they'll, maybe they'll catch and I'll be able to transplant them later.
Are there things that you absolutely just will not start, you know, in a pot or in a planting tray and you just wait until it's warm enough to put them out in the ground?
Or is it really okay to start almost everything in a pot and then gamble on the transplant?
Any experience in that with that stuff?
I mean, yeah, I've done I've done carrots out of like out of little tiny little containers.
You just got to be super gentle with them.
And the way you'd want to do a carrot is like, obviously you do it in a row.
So when you, when you plug them into the row, you know, space them out even, let them lay down on the side and then take, you know, the soil and push it onto the carrots from one side and then go underneath the carrots and push them up to where they're upright and gently pack them in.
And that's how I did them last year.
They turned out great.
So yeah, you can do pretty much most things.
I probably wouldn't do a radish, yeah, because they, you know, they're pretty easy.
They can fend for themselves in a lot of ways.
So I wouldn't do something like that.
But things like that that are a little more tender and you want to get an early start on them, especially out where you guys are.
I would definitely start most things inside, especially this time of year.
Yep.
And I've got some hard lessons already mentioned to the guys before we recorded that was reading a gardening blog and a kind, intelligent woman said, really, there's no, obviously there are mistakes in the garden, but as long as you learn from them, you are adding to your skill set for the next year.
And that's part of the reason why we have done these shows is to get you guys doing this stuff and making those mistakes before you're in a situation where the success of your crops may actually make a difference between hunger and being well fed.
But Hans, how about you?
Are you, I know you got all the animals, but I actually don't know if you are big on the, I kind of joked about it at the top.
Are you big into growing your own food as well as raising it?
Yeah, we grow a bit.
My wife and daughter does more of that.
We got tomatoes and peppers and tobacco started down in the basement under some grow lights.
Yep.
And then we've got garlic in the garden right now.
And then we got the incubators going, trying to get some eggs hatching.
They should be hatching here towards the end of the month.
All right.
And what do you have your seedlings started in the basement?
So long story short, I'll admit my folly here.
And it looks like Sigis just got just rejoined so he can hear my folly.
So wife built or rehabbed this old pump shed that was rotting and basically put clear plastic sheets on top, reasonably well insulated, but not so much that there wasn't ventilation.
I ran an extension cord with a heater out there.
It's getting good sunlight and warmth during the day, but at night, it's still going down below freezing here.
So I got the heater in there to keep it at 39, but I realized that that's too cold for the seeds to germinate.
And I really probably need grow lights.
They're not getting enough sunlight in there.
But what are you in your basement setup?
What are you using to start your seedlings?
Well, we got a soil blocker.
It punches out little square blocks with a little hole in the top of you mix some different soils together and fertilizers, make your own planting mix basically.
And you punch them out into a tray.
And then we got a big flat heating mats that my wife puts under them.
And they warm up, keep it nice and toasty enough so they germinate.
And then clear plastic covers and then lights hanging over them.
Our springtime, the basement is just completely full of grow lights and seedlings and can't hardly walk around down there.
Yeah.
What do you do with the tobacco?
Do you actually dry it and consume it, sell it?
Yeah, I dry it and I hang it up in my shed and I dry it.
And then I haven't done it yet, but I wanted to try to process some where you steam it and then press it for pipe tobacco like a Cavendish, but I haven't tried that yet.
All right.
Godspeed.
I got a little color for the audience.
When Hans and I were out on a hike in the center of the country, I'll just say found this gigantic green brain looking seed, I guess.
And I said, what the hell is this?
And of course, Hans knew what it was.
Was it Brain Tree?
Brain Seed?
Do you remember that?
It's Osage Orange.
Ostage orange.
Yeah.
Well, I did the bit, buddy.
I put it in water.
I actually have a broken rain gauge out on the side of the house because the dog chewed on it.
And I put it in there and it's been soaking and dissolving in water.
So once that puppy is fully dissolved, the spring, I will go out and dig a trench.
And wherever I want a menacing, fast-growing, spiky border tree line to grow, I'll be putting that in there.
So thank you.
I did take note of that.
I thought maybe I was going to get busted flying with agriculture on the plane, but nobody cared about my Osage orange.
We did lose Sigis, unfortunately, said that he lost power and Wi-Fi went down and he's too far out in the boonies for sell data, which just means that we're going to have to lean on Mid Gardener a bit longer.
So Mid Gardner, for most people listening, they should have already, it's not too late to start their seedlings for whatever they're doing, whether they just got a little, you know, garden tray on their porch of their balcony, or if they got a bigger operation.
So can you, once again, my dear friend, give some tips to people.
Should they really go beyond getting the Jiffy pods?
Because I've started to sour on Jiffy Pods.
They've been pretty inconsistent for me.
But basically, just the essentials for people who should be starting their tomatoes, maybe their peppers and other stuff at this point, depending on where they live.
Yeah, it's not definitely not too late.
We're just getting started.
The year is long.
And especially over here on the East Coast or, you know, Midwest or something like that, northern spots where it's a lot cooler.
Like, no, it's definitely not too early.
Too early.
Yeah.
It's not too, yeah.
It's not too early.
But last year, I just, I did all my indoor germination with like solo cups and it turned out awesome.
They weren't even solo cups.
They're just the dollar store cheap, cheap ones.
And I just put some drainage holes on the bottom, packed them full of, I think it was like some bargain bin potting mix.
And I just germinated them all in there and I just kept them in the window.
And yeah, I planted those out.
Some of them I actually kept in there too long just because I was busy with a bunch of other stuff.
But yeah, it was, that was cheap, super cheap.
Don't even use solo cups, use the dollar store ones.
And potting soil is fine too.
I was worried because, you know, I went to Walmart and they didn't have something specifically for seed.
So I was like, all right, I'm just going to go with this, you know, the two cubic foot potting soil mix, filled up all the pots with my little buddy.
And the mistake I made is you're supposed to moisten the potting soil, water it essentially before you put the seeds in, just to get a better consistency, et cetera.
But basically, you're saying potting soil is good enough in most cases to get your seedling started.
It's weed-free.
It's not sterile, obviously.
It's got microbes in it, but really for the most part, the only time you have to worry about any kind of blight or something like that is maybe if you're doing some real sensitive heirloom plants or if you're if you're over watering a lot of times and you don't have much airflow,
you want to keep some good airflow, crack the window during the day and just try to get them to not completely dry out, you know, but keep just to like the level of like coffee coffee grounds that maybe have been sitting in the coffee machine since last night.
Like, and then soak them in again.
You wanted to let them dry out a little bit.
If you keep it too moist in there, you know, those little fine particles will sink down to the bottom where your drainage holes are and they'll start plugging it up.
The drainage will go, you know, not as good.
And then, and that's when you start getting like, you know, like root mats and all kinds of stuff going on in there.
So for the most part, like I said, the cheapest way to get your plants started is from seed.
You're getting the most seeds from biggest bang for your buck.
And, you know, just do a bunch of those cups, do a bunch of cheap potting mix, even if you're mixing and matching, you know, run some experiments and see what you like best.
It doesn't need like any fertilizer at that point because the seeds are just going off of whatever nutrients they already have inside of them.
So they don't really start taking anything in from the soil until they get some true roots out, which takes a while.
Like once you start seeing true leaves on top, then you know there's some true roots and then it's going to start wanting to get some nutrients.
But even that potting mix, you know, the cheap stuff has, you know, all kinds of compost in it and stuff like that.
So oh, yeah, yeah, I could see that they had the little fertilizer balls in there for lack of a better term.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Sorry.
Honestly, you can get organic or you can get conventional.
It doesn't really matter.
You just don't want anything with too high of a nutrient content.
What temperature, if you really want seeds to germinate, what's the minimum that I got to set that damn heater to in the greenhouse?
60.
It's 52.
And I guess for people growing in their house, you know, most people keep their houses 60, 70.
Yeah, like low 60s.
Like, you know, you want to mimic what the soil would be doing in the first few inches of the soil during like when everything's germinating, when it really starts to become spring.
You are mimicking that situation.
So, so yeah, like low 60s, you could do high 50s.
You don't want to keep it on all the time, but definitely like if your house is cold and you have to imagine there's evaporation going on carrying away some of the heat, you know, so you want to keep it around there.
It'll help terminate.
Yeah, I was trying to be a cheap skate and not run up the electric bill, you know, heating a intentionally leaky greenhouse.
But if I want to make it happen, I'm going to have to suck it up and set that thing.
I'll set it to, I don't know, high 50s, I guess.
Kick greedy.
Very good.
Yeah, go ahead.
You know, it's getting some heat from a lamp too.
If you got, you got a lamp on there.
LEDs don't put out much heat, but incandescents, if you have those, I mean, they do take more energy anyway, but incandescence or whatever, if you want to go big, go, you know, get the metal halide or some crazy thing.
You don't really need that, but there's something going on in there.
You just want to make sure your ventilation is up, which is, you know, you're blowing away your heat, but at the same time, everything's give and take.
So, and are you keeping grow lights on?
Uh, I guess we'll go back to Hans.
Do they grow lights stay on 24-7, or do you sort of simulate you give the plants a little bit of shut eye as well and turn them off at night?
Yeah, we got uh, everything plugged into one box.
It's a bunch of extension cords run all over, and then it's it's like a just a cheap timer where you push down what hours you want it on and leave up what hours you want it off.
And like I think it's like nine or ten hours it's on, and then the rest of the time it's off.
Okay, yep, and uh, that leads me to chicks.
We did the bit and went to tractor supply and got uh more chicks this year after the raccoon massacre of 2022.
And we got, if people are curious, we got Australorps, an Australian uh breed or strain that people say are lovely, and then we got Wyan dots, which seem to be beautiful, if nothing else.
Uh, Hans, you mentioned something about electrolytes.
So, we have the bare minimum setup.
We basically have a coop, which is a big wooden box shed that is now protected from exterior invasives, and a little red heat lamp, a nice big steel drum or bin for them in there with pine tree shavings, a water dispenser, and then just the standard, you know, chick starter feed from tractor supply.
If I wanted to make those chicks happier, Hans, what else should I be doing to have them grow fast and healthy?
Yeah, well, those electrolytes are good when they're stressed, like when you first bring them home, or if any of them start to seem like they're not doing so well.
But if they are already settled in, they're probably fine without them.
But sounds like a pretty good setup.
Some people like to hang feather dusters in there so they can huddle up under them.
But I've heard that reduces stress, but I haven't done it.
And mine seem to do pretty fine with basically the same setup you got.
So, okay.
Is the feather duster to sort of mimic their mother?
Yeah, that's that's the theory, and it's supposed to reduce stress and help them.
But uh, I haven't got one and tried it yet.
I read about it, okay.
Fair enough.
If your days are getting warmer out there, Coach, you could probably um, what I was doing last year, and it worked really well.
I had I made a little improvised chicken tractor out of baby gates.
I just made a little rectangle and then threw some wire on top.
And then, yeah, I just let those chicks just hang out in the backyard, you know, crap all over the place inside the baby gate and just kind of move it around throughout the throughout the week.
And you know, I put them back in under the light at night and stuff like that.
And they seem to help me.
I never, I didn't lose any of them, and I could do a bunch of them at one time because they're so small, you know, you can get like 15 of them in there.
And by the time they start growing up, like if you got too many, you could sell a few off or whatever.
And it's really cheap to feed them because they're eating bugs and whatever they can find in them.
So, I had really good luck with that last year.
So, that's something I wanted to mention.
Yeah, we've been lacking in building an actual enclosure for them to keep the dog out and to keep them from running under the coop.
Uh, what we do is, you know, once they get too big for the bin, then we just put down the pine tree shavings all throughout the coop and let them just hang out in there for a couple of weeks until that one glorious day when I open the door and say, you know, get out there and explore.
make sure that the dog is tied up too.
We did get the dog a shock collar last year to try to train her to stay away from them.
And this year, we've been trying to bring her into the coop to see them, smell them and realize that they are our friends and not just a, we're not cheating on the dog with new animal pals, but she doesn't want to go in there.
And I don't know if she remembers from last year getting smacked on the ass for running off with one of the chicks.
But now that we got the raccoon problem fixed, we got to move on to the dog problem.
Sam Rollo, too quiet so far.
Sam, have you guys got anything in pots yet?
Or are you excited to try something?
I am a poser and you are still, I probably a beginner, right?
I mean, fair enough.
Oh, yeah.
You putts around with this stuff, which is good.
That's exactly it.
Yeah.
We're just trying different ideas and we just have the type of raised bed type things that we just we've we've done lettuce and bassel right basil and things like that.
And it's it's fun when those things come up because then you can eat them.
You know, you take take a little bit, you put it on your salad.
Yeah, it's it's really cool.
And so, yeah, I don't know what we're going to do this year.
It's just been too cold to even think about it.
But now that we're on the show, I guess we got to start thinking about getting the pots out, getting, getting the soil, a little bit of potting soil and figuring out what we're going to grow this year.
Kick your tires too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll post the article that I shared.
There's like, you know, nine common mistakes people make when starting their seeds.
Everything from the wrong soil to overwatering is a big one, not getting enough sunlight, et cetera, that was useful to me.
And I realize I kind of, it was foolish of me to just think, oh, I have a greenhouse and I have, you know, I'll just plant seeds and they'll be fine.
I'll just keep them from freezing.
I got to crack up the temperature and they probably need grow lights.
And you probably can't have chickens where you live, Sam.
I'm guessing.
Right.
Yeah.
It's an urban environment.
And yeah, we're, you know, we're fine doing what we're doing so far.
Yeah.
And a reminder for the audience, too, I think a lot of people are like, well, yeah, we'll just get this and that and the other thing, but try to think about what you actually spend money on at the grocery store and start there, right?
I mean, you can actually grow real heads of romaine lettuce.
Yeah.
If you have the resistance when we grew romaine a couple of years ago, I just couldn't resist like out in the garden, just taking the leaves off and snacking on them out there.
But my wife is obsessed with cilantro.
She wants to put every time we have tacos, she wants cilantro, cilantro.
So in the winter, of course, we're buying these bunches and they never last long.
So that was the first thing I bought this year.
Actually, I didn't do it from seed, just bought the potted cilantro from the grocery store.
And that's up in the window right now.
So I can stop buying cilantro.
And one of my all-time favorites is the chives, which are absolutely a perennial.
The chives are coming up already here.
They've been up for about 10 days, first of March.
And those are delightful.
Even if you don't put them in your potatoes or whatever, you can just snack on those when you're walking by and they will come up year after year copiously and seed themselves.
Mitt Gardner, while we still have you, what are some of your favorites that I don't know, common ones or maybe things that people wouldn't think about, your favorites to grow and eat?
Please.
Well, I can't say eat it.
Where to start?
I also grow tobacco, which is pretty awesome.
Any of my friends who smoke tobacco are always blown away that I have my own, it always tastes way better than whatever they could buy for god knows how much.
Sure, all right, tobacco and uh yeah, what else?
But I, I do, I do basil as well and uh, that one um, you just got to keep pinching the flowers off.
Like any of those annual herbs, you gotta pinch the flowers off, can't let them go to you.
Get them to go.
Huge, like really huge.
Yeah, it's good task for the good task for the kids too.
When you see these little buds, just pinch them off and and chuck them out absolutely yeah, in terms of uh parenting, I was looking around the house today and some, some lazy lugs and I was like I, what we we've had the discussion about, whether an allowance makes sense or whether kids are just expected to help around the house and not get paid for it.
Uh, but I was like, all right yeah, they're going to be helping me out there in the garden.
Last year, potato helped me plant the potatoes which, of course, I am ecstatic to uh, get out there and try my hands again, because another thing that we learned last year, I really thought the deer didn't eat potato leaves.
I know that they're in nightshade.
Potato leaves are poisonous to a lot of living creatures, including your kids don't eat potato leaves.
But nothing was touching them, barely the bugs.
The deer weren't touching them.
I was like, all right, I don't need to put a fence around this thing.
And then we left for a week and when I came back the deer had absolutely I assume it was the deer had to be just decimated the potato leaves.
But the amazing thing was they still grew and the sort of remnant shoots just put out new leaves.
It wasn't as impressive a beautiful canopy as it was when it started.
So the other thing I have to do this year, with my wife's help, is to put up a big ass eight foot fence to keep the deer away from uh, the damn potatoes and everything else that i'm going to plant in there.
Hans, let's go over to the husbandry section, if we could.
Uh, after chickens uh, we've spoken a little bit about rabbits in the past.
Do you think rabbits make the next best sense for people looking to add calories in their backyard?
Yeah, I think like rabbits for me are probably one of the best and easiest next steps.
I mean a single female rabbit, like if you breed her hard and consistently on a schedule, she can produce more meat in a year than a cow can.
Wow so, and it's.
It's a white, white meat.
It's kind of in between pork and chicken.
A lot of your recipes that you use chicken in you can use rabbit meat, like when I was living on the less than an acre plot before we moved out here.
I mean, we ate rabbit four to five times a week, like that was pretty much a staple in our house.
Huh, how do you dispatch them when it comes time?
Uh, broomstick across the back of the neck, and then you pull up on the, you put feet on each side and then you pull up on her back legs, pops her head, breaks the neck and then go from there.
Wait so, so the broomstick is keeping the rabbit uh stable, and then you yank the legs to break the neck.
Yeah you, you put the broomstick across the back of its neck, you put your feet on each side of the broomstick just uh, you don't like press down, but hold it in place, and then you pull up on the back legs and okay, I got you and that that severs the spine.
Essentially yes, and it's quick and easy and like like they don't feel anything.
They're out as soon as you pop them.
They don't.
They don't do the uh?
The horrible rabbit cries to disturb the kids?
Nope, they don't.
All right uh, after now, do you have them in cages?
Or when we had Neobennonite on last year he had he sent us a picture of this sort of like rabbit hotel that he had in his backyard.
I don't know how the hell he got them to stay put, given their their digging capacities but uh, what do you have the rabbits set up in?
So I got the, the breeders, I got them in cages and then, once the babies are about a month old, they're getting weaned.
I've got big, uh movable, basically chicken tractors, but with wood slat bottoms, and I move those around the yard and those are my grow pens for the ones i'm going to butcher.
Fair enough, Rollo.
Is any of this uh inspiring you to move beyond old gay goats, or are you just you're just, you're just not getting into this?
Well, it's winter now and I don't appreciate you calling my goats old.
That's what you said.
They were weathered right, that's why they're not.
I mean, they're just like beyond.
Uh, I was making a joke because you called them old gay and I said, don't call them old okay, but they're not breeding, right?
For for some reason did the joke go your head again.
Why are rollo?
Why are your goats like a diagram or something?
Tell, tell me the truth of why you're.
Yeah, can everybody like explain this joke to coach, because i'm i'm, i'm at a loss, like this is mr Dad joke and goofy guy and now he's like asking me serious questions about heaven.
Help me about topics that some people pretend to care about.
Hey coach coach, a weather castrated goat.
Okay see I, I had no idea that that was a thing or that that was the terminology.
Thank you, I gave you too much credit geez, and I I, that's my mistake for that.
Yeah I, I thought you said I have weathered goats and that was like a joke that they're too old to like have.
Okay, are baby goats called joeys?
It's a kangaroo, I think.
There you go.
See, I still got a ways to go.
That's why I'm asking these questions because I need help.
That's why we get these shows.
I mean, you know, I generally don't start planting things until the ground gets a little easier to plant things in.
So, you know, once it starts getting consistently warm enough to dig, then I'll slap some potatoes in the ground.
All right.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
See, as soon as March hits, I'm like, oh, man, I got to get going.
I got to get a jumpstart on this stuff.
Got to move on.
Hans, after chickens and rabbits moving up the food chain, what would you recommend most for somebody who's got at least the zoning to allow it and the acreage to support it?
Well, goats.
I'd say ducks with the chickens, probably, probably.
But yeah, probably goats.
You could do meat and dairy from a goat.
Yep.
Yeah, see, I've heard so many people say that ducks are a-holes and make a huge mess and the kids don't like the eggs necessarily.
What's your duck assessment, buddy?
They are messy, but I prefer their eggs.
I think they're a lot better.
They're a richer egg.
There's more yolk to the amount of white.
And how do you care for them over the winter?
They have their own separate coop with heat?
No, they don't have heat.
They just go in the barn and they go out in the snow and we throw them feed.
They just hang out, hang around.
If it thaws out, they'll go down to the creek in the winter and swim in the creek when it's snow's still in the ground.
And same for your chickens.
I mean, obviously chicks need heat, but once the chickens have matured, do they need any help over the winter other than just a place to rest?
No, as long as they can roost.
And if you have roosts that are too small, their feathers won't cover their feet and they can get a little bit of frostbite on their toes.
But as long as you use something bigger, like a two by four, they can roost on their feathers when they sit down, cover their toes up, and they do pretty good without heat.
So I put a couple like thick wooden curtain rods, just drilled them right into the wall with the brackets.
So you're saying better to be bigger for the chickens to roost on than something skinny, like a thin metal pole or something like that.
Yeah, yeah.
As long as it's thicker, they can those feathers around their belly and legs, they'll cover up their feet and keep them warm at night so they won't get frostbite on their toes.
Gotcha.
Mitt Gartner's dealing with a son who woke up and is crying loud.
I don't know if he's still with us.
How about goats then, Hans?
I guess they need a pen.
They need their own place at night.
And I guess the real question here is you have a job and you got a family.
Are they taking care of most of these animals during the day?
I mean, we're checking on the chicks in the morning, in the afternoon, and the evening, which is wonderful.
But I'm thinking, holy cow, if we like really expanded operations here, you're talking about a ton of time and getting tied to the land and elbow grease, which is good.
But the realities of having many types of animals on your property that you're caring for.
Yeah.
Kids are a big help.
Like they, they got responsibilities.
Like my youngest teeth every day, his job is he goes and feeds the rabbits and makes sure the rabbits have water.
My oldest son, he takes care of the hogs.
He feeds them.
And I usually take care of the cows.
My wife and my daughter milk the cows and the milk the goats.
And then my other son, he makes sure that all the horses have water and everything.
Like they all got their own chores and we all have our own things we're doing every morning and evening.
And like we what happens?
What happens if you guys want to leave or go somewhere?
Do you have people that would step in?
Let's say you're going to go on vacation for a couple days or something.
Do you have people who would step in and help with the daily chores?
Somewhat, yeah.
But for the most part, we don't really go places together.
The goal, our goal is to build a life we don't want to escape from.
So I mean, we're pretty happy if we stay right here.
But if you, if you were going to go, you would have to get somebody.
I mean, these daily chores cannot be neglected.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
My, like when me and the boys go like camping or when my daughter and my wife have their camping trips, like we've like my daughter and wife will pick up our chores.
Takes a little longer when they are on their trips.
Then me and the boys will pick up their chores.
And we just got to make sure it all gets done.
Somebody's got to be around to do it.
Sure.
The real answer, Sam, of course.
And I mean, Tom even alluded to this, you know, when he was away from the house for a while.
He had his boys come by and, you know, tend to the garden and take care of the chickens is to, you know, make it an objective that even if it's not a white nationalist buddy to, you know, have a local tribe, at least a local solid friend who, you know, because, you know, there's at least once a year we want to get away for a week.
It's just been pretty standard, whether it's the beach or whether it's this or that.
And yeah, you can't leave chickens alone for a week and you feel guilty asking the neighbors to look after.
Well, chickens aren't that big of a deal.
You could probably just do once a day.
But if you got a bigger operation, then you're talking about more things.
You want to have good friends close to you who you're like, you know, look, I'll pay you or, you know, you can come and have your own little farm vacation if you want.
And this is all the stuff that you got to do to enable us to get away for a week.
But amen to that too, Hans.
You know, as I get older, the prospect of long trips and vacations, certainly international travel was a big feature of our lives in our 20s and maybe early 30s.
And now the thought of it kind of gives me a headache.
And I'm like, staying right here when the weather is nice.
Winter is really when I want to get away.
And now that the weather's getting nicer, I'm like, yep, I'm happy right here.
While we have you, Hans, you got ragged on savagely for having the temerity to believe in some old folk remedies for certain things.
And one of those was the infamous onion in the sock.
I got to ask about it.
When you have a cold or a nasty cold, you actually do the bit and put onions in the socks.
Tell us a little bit about, I don't know, how you started doing that.
And do you actually think that it works?
Yeah, it really does seem to work.
You just take two slices of chicken, you put it in the arch of your foot, and you put your socks on.
And then You go to bed at night with the those with socks onions in your socks, and then you wake up if you feel a whole lot, a whole lot better in the morning.
I don't know how it works, I just know that it does like it helps.
I mean, even I'll say, as a skeptic, even as a placebo effect, you know, it's like I got my magic onion socks on and uh, maybe feel better.
Even if it's a placebo, I feel better, so it works, yeah.
And does it make your uh feet smell or your feet are too far away to smell them, I guess, or can you smell the onion because cut up onions are pretty strong.
Well, does that fill in the room?
That's when the cold goes away, you can smell the onions that lets you know it's all right, yeah.
But uh, I wanted to say another thing, too, with the chickens, though.
Uh, please, we I bought a uh deer feeder, it's a bucket and it's got a timer on it, and it spins, and you can program it for multiple times a day.
And we use that for the chickens that we run out farther in the cow fields behind the cows.
So, like, if you set up like that, like you could leave your chickens for a few days as long as they got plenty of water, it'll that's got a timer and it'll just it'll spin and it'll shoot out a bunch of feed certain times a day.
So, not and not even for the deer, or does it attract deer too that you could in theory shoot?
I guess some deer feeders are illegal in some places, I guess, because it's like hacking hunting.
I don't know, but did the deer come up to it too?
It's it's meant for deer, but I use it for chickens.
But it's they're not really, they're not too expensive, and it's basically like a big hanging bucket with a hole in the bottom with a little spinning motor with a little like rotor on it, and it just flings corn around.
So, the chickens know and they come running to it.
They know as soon as it goes off, they hear it and they come running.
But cool, yeah, you can set up something like that.
Any other uh atypical home remedies that you deploy, like the onions and the socks?
Genuinely curious.
Uh, I mean, my wife makes fire cider every year, it tastes pretty bad, but it'll it'll clear your sinuses and it helps with like chest congestion.
It's got like honey and pepper, cayenne, and vinegar, and all kinds of stuff in it.
You take a shot of that.
I mean, there's recipes online if you look.
And I gotta try that with potato.
Our youngest has had, if you remember, the rivers of blood speech from Enoch Powell, we've just had rivers of boogers and mucus for like an extended period of time.
And his energy level is fine, but it's just like endless boogers.
Although, I don't know if I'll be able to get him to drink fire cider.
Oh, yeah.
I've I had to bait and bribe my kids to try when they're like, if you just take this shot of this, then trust me, you'll feel better.
You can have a piece of candy, just go ahead and take it, and they feel better.
I mean, it is not, it burns, and it's not pleasant, but it'll clear you up pretty good.
All right.
Like elderberries, if you can get local honey, the local honey has whatever pollens and stuff that are around you, like raw local honey.
That really helps with allergies and sinus issues too.
And are you selling any of your animals that you raise?
Or are you consuming everything that you're working on your property?
We sell beef every year and we sell a little bit of pork.
And then I sell some geese to some people, but most of the chickens and eggs and the milk, we consume most of that.
Sure.
And is it just the cow milk or are you drinking or using the goat milk too?
Yeah, we drink some of the goat milk and we make some cheese out of the goat milk and we make some cheese and butter out of the cow milk.
Man, I am inspired and in awe and a little bit intimidated too.
Yeah, I admire Hans for his lifestyle.
It's really something, something to aspire to.
Yeah.
Well, you don't have to do everything at once, though.
It's you start out and then you do a little bit and then you build a little bit more on top of it.
Like when we first started doing it, we were on less than an acre and all we had was some rabbits, a male and two females, and then we were breeding those and then butchering the babies.
And then we got the ducks for the eggs and we started butchering some ducks.
Then we got some goats and some chickens.
And then and then we sold a bunch of that and sold the property and moved here and got a big property.
Sure.
You can do a lot on a small area if you learn what you're doing and you do it right.
Yeah, my philosophy or strategy has been just to add one more significant thing every year.
And unfortunately, we're still, we're back to square one with the chickens by learning the hard lesson about the, you know, the guinea fowl all were, they were just pains in the ass.
We didn't get any eggs and they were running everywhere.
The dog was chasing them and the chickens and the raccoon.
So this year, we're going to, if I don't get eggs this year, I'm going to, I joked I was going to sell the property and move to inner city Baltimore because that's what I deserve.
You know, you know, and then and then seriously last year, I know I probably talked about it ad nauseum, but the ability to have that big potato haul was, I just, I felt like a million bucks.
Everybody's like, yes, enough with your potatoes.
You know, give a potatoes to the UPS guy.
Give a potatoes to the neighbor.
Look at me.
Look up, look at my surplus harvest.
It genuinely felt awesome, even with, you know, would have been even bigger with the deer.
So this year we're going to put a fence up around the potatoes.
And this year we're going to get eggs.
And of course, dear daughter wants a horse now, which is down the road with that expense and hassle.
So if you're listening to this, whatever level that you're at, I guess just try to add one new thing this year.
If you're not a gardener at all, just grow some tomatoes.
If you already got that down, Pat, maybe try some potatoes.
If you already got chickens down, Pat, I'm thinking maybe, you know, they had ducks at Tractor Supply.
And I just was like, ah, people said that they're a pain in the ass.
But Hans, how would you get started?
Do ducks need their own coop?
They look bigger than the chicken chicks, but is it roughly the same setup with raising baby ducks, heat lamp, water, feed, and then when the weather is warm enough, just let them go wild out in the wild blue yonder?
Yeah, the only difference is they need to be able to get their nostrils underwater.
So you can't use a shallow waterer.
Right.
Okay.
You have to set up something a little deeper.
We used like the little tubs that like sometimes meat will come in, like the tumbler type things.
And then we cut a hole in the top.
and then fill those with water so they could stick their head down in, but they couldn't get in and swim in it.
Okay.
So there was like plenty of water, but like you just need a little deeper water.
But other than that, they do great.
And like some breeds of ducks, like your khaki Campbell's actually lay more eggs a year than chickens do.
And they are laying their eggs and nests outdoors as opposed to needing nesting boxes or they use those too.
They don't fly up.
So as long as you have nesting boxes on the ground, they'll lay them on the ground.
But other than that, they pretty much just lay them on the ground.
All right.
Good stuff.
Well, everyone is opposer.
Better homes and gardens hipster compared to Sigis and Hans.
Mitt Gardner said in the chat.
Mitt Gartner is working with a three-alarm chimp out on the domestic fatherhood front.
Good luck, brother.
Thank you for riding with us regardless.
We are at the hour, so let's take a break.
Shame, shame on Siggis for losing his Wi-Fi signal.
Mitt Gartner, unable to control his own progeny there.
Shame on him too.
Hans, clearly, Hans is clearly the alpha father and homesteader of this call.
I think we did pretty damn good considering the challenges of this first hour.
But in all seriousness, thank you, Sigis, and thank you, Mitt Gardner, for riding.
We'll have you back anytime.
We're not going to go, you know, if we did some great shows.
And maybe I'll tag them in the show notes for people to go back because we don't literally need to redo some of the work that we've done.
But I wanted and was excited to do this show because it is that time of the year.
And if you're still in those doldrums, you know, if I could get out of the doldrum, so can you.
Getting out and just having chicks.
The kids are, except for juniors, nonplussed by the chicks.
But dear daughter and potato, they want to go down there multiple times a day to check on the chicks.
Wife has been very excited about identifying which one is which and giving them names.
We've got Warhawk and Rouge and Peng and Gwen and all sorts of them.
It's really, even if, you know, God forbid we don't get any chicks or they get slaughtered again, it's just a wonderful experience with your kids and you got to start somewhere, right?
Hans was like, my kids are not going to be insisting on store-bought meat.
We're going to do it ourselves.
And he pulled it off and you can too, whether it's tomatoes on your balcony of your condo or whether it's moving on up to actually raising cows and pigs and making some money off of it as well as just feeding your family.
So Mitt Gartner's off mic.
Sigas is off mic.
Hans, thank you very much.
You are welcome to stick around for the second half if you like my friend or if you got to run.
Okay.
You got to run.
Yep.
I'm good.
I get, I mean, yeah.
It was good to be on again, guys.
Sorry, I couldn't talk more, but we'll see you next time and good luck gardening, everybody.
Yeah.
Good.
Yeah, thanks.
Thank you.
Good luck with you.
Thank you, Mitt Gardner.
We'll have you back anytime.
Good luck with your boys too.
And send us pics of your extremely inexpensive makeshift mini greenhouses for people to get a little head start out there with the direct.
So we're transplanting seedlings.
All right, for the break this week, I'm going with a little bit of classic rock.
It's been a while and it's damn appropriate and it's also a jam.
And it's, of course, Rain on the Scarecrow by John Cougar Mellon Camp 1985.
Enjoy, fam.
And we will be right back not to talk about animals and gardens, but lots of fun stuff and some really good stuff we got from the audience this week, too.
We'll be right back.
400 inch acres that used to be my phone.
Grew up like my daddy did, my grandpa did this land.
When I was five, I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand.
Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the plough.
This land for the nation, this land made me proud.
Son, I'm too sorry.
There's no legacy for you now.
Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the plow.
Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the plow.
Crops were grew last summer, weren't enough to pay the loan.
Couldn't buy the seed plant to spring and farmers bank or clothes.
Come old friends, shipman up to auction off the land.
Say, John, it's just my job, and I hope you understand.
They calling it your job, oh horse.
Sure, don't make it right.
If you want me to, I'll say a prayer for you, so tonight.
And grandma's on the front porch with a Bible in her hand.
Sometimes I hear a slinger take me to the promised land.
Take away man's dignity, get with his fields and cows.
Blood on the scarecrow, blood on the plow.
Blood on the scarecrow, blood on the plow.
It was 97 crosses, landed in the cold house yard.
The 97 families who lost 97 throngs.
I think about my grandpa, my neighbors, and my name.
Some nights feel like dying.
Like a scarecrow and rain.
Rain on the scarecrow.
Blood on the plough.
This land federation.
Hey, this land made me proud.
Son, I'm too sorry, but just memories for you now.
Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the plow.
Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the plow.
Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the plough.
This land fed a nation.
This land made me so proud.
Son, I'm too sorry, there's memories for you now.
and welcome back to full house episode 153 i believe it is Still second half.
Thank you for riding with us and allowing us to give a little bit of a nudge, a little bit of a boost to those of you who may still be, as it was either Sigis or Mitt Gardner said, you're not behind.
You're right on schedule.
We're ahead of the curve on this one, wherever you live.
March is the time to get moving and do it for your family.
Do it for the fun.
Do it for the savings and do it to gain skills now when you have the option to do stuff like this and not down the road when you might be forced into a situation where a harvest could make or break you.
Do we hope we get to that point?
Some part of our natures do hope we do.
And then the realistic parts of us are like, no, I don't actually look forward to a situation where I am struggling to feed my family and the grocery stores are all closed, whichever it is.
Thank you for riding with us.
And we really did have Sigis lost his internet.
Mitt Gardner had to deal with his kids and we'll have them back again, but we're not going to do all those shows again.
I'll put them in the show notes for you to go back and reference.
So let's get moving on with dad stuff and fun and jocularity here in the second half.
First off, of course, new white meat life.
That's right.
In keeping with the theme of the show this week, our pal Anon let us know that his epic hog, Bonnie, has now had 22 piglets in three years.
And I guess they just got some new ones.
Congratulations, Anon and Bonnie.
And who knows who the father is?
But it was just really, really cute.
He sent me a video of those little piglets running around.
The kids heard it and they came running over.
They don't always run over to my phone, but they heard little cute animal sounds and came over.
I said, yeah, that's my buddies.
They were like, who is he?
How do you know him?
I was like, don't worry about it.
He's just one of my buddies.
Actually, I haven't met Anon yet, but we will one day soon.
So congratulations on your new white life there, Anon.
Moving on to the human realm.
Big one here.
This has been coming for years and he's been listening since the beginning of Full House.
I think he maybe went back to the fatherland, but he always viewed Sam as his lodestar for children.
And he would keep us posted through the years.
Hey, only I'm tied with Sam and recently got the big news from Frog of War and his lovely wife that they have now surpassed Sam with their eighth child, beautiful baby girl.
Congratulations.
Wonderful.
Absolutely.
Put the little flower bow around her head, sleeping.
I saw that.
Peacefully.
And what else did you say, Sam?
You only hope that all of our audience could.
Yeah, I hope everybody will.
You know, I've done a lot of things in my life that I'm proud of or things that I regard as accomplishments, but I can only hope that every listener will surpass me in any or all of those things.
So congratulations.
Good work.
Absolutely.
Just as I am in law of, uh, uh, what, what's the variant?
It's very important.
Sam has been surpassed.
Time to take Sam to the glue factory.
Yeah, Sam, big loser, big loser.
Only seven.
Only lucky seven.
Yeah.
And, you know, talking about this stuff too puts it in perspective.
Obviously, we have three kids and there are days where I'm like, holy moly, I could not imagine having more.
But Sam's got seven, Frog of War now has eight and they make it and they make it work, right?
And think about how many people are.
It's not easy.
There is 400 animals.
Yeah.
You take you take a lot of hits through the years in different ways.
And, you know, it's something that you do just because you believe in it.
And it's, it's, I would say that if anyone wants to idealize it, no, you better take a step back and think, think carefully about it.
It's, it's challenging to live that way.
There's, like you say, there's the hard days where you think, like, how could you take on another one, let alone double the size of your family?
All that's true.
It's all true.
I would say don't, don't ever take it lightly.
And it's, it's not easy.
It hasn't been easy for me, you know, but they grow up and you just hope that they do the right things in life.
And at least some of them have so far.
So let's hope for the best.
Yep.
Yeah.
Having eight bundles of joy run around the house at various stages of life.
And, you know, we get a lot of messages.
And I've got a couple here of people who said, man, I wish that I had, if I had listened to your show 10 years ago, I would be in a different life.
Oh, yeah.
You never hear people say, I wish I had fewer kids.
It's always, I wish we had more, you know, and we had a couple of miscarriages along the way.
And finally, you get to an age where the wife's body will not do it anymore.
So you just have to take each opportunity as it comes.
Yeah, just like Rolo's goats sometimes.
Excuse me.
Yep.
But yeah, but I'm going to flag an episode that we did called Life Lessons back in the day.
Because, you know, one of the challenges that we, it's probably a challenge for any podcaster who's dealing in a thematic area is that you have to balance, you know, not going over the same ground again and again with the interest of new listeners who, aside from Rolo, you know, we don't expect them to go back and listen to the entire library from starting from episode one.
A lot of them do.
But I'm not going to cast shade on anybody who doesn't, who just hops in and comes along for the dad ride.
But absolutely, one of my core life lessons, and I was joking with the guys, I actually gave a presentation on personal finance earlier tonight to the bros over an hour or so doing double duty.
And I talked a lot about, and maybe that'll come up in a different show.
I can give sort of a summary of the many, you could call them regrets, but just mistakes that I've made over the years from selling, you know, high quality stocks because I thought the sky was about to fall or buying a house that was more than I needed, but, you know, it just felt good at the time, stuff like that.
But if I could go back, I would have started having kids earlier.
Wife and I were married five years before we, you know, earnestly started trying.
And we definitely probably would have four kids if we had started earlier.
And, you know, everything would probably be different, the butterfly effect and all that.
So if you take anything away from the show aside from gardening and animal husbandry, start sooner.
You can have your year or two travel, you know, me time, get to know each other, blah, blah, blah.
But don't wait too long.
There's numerous things.
Health, bigger numbers later on, you know, all right.
One more new white life here, gents, and gumtree party from down under.
I think he's a pal or at least an associate of Tom Sewell wanted to let us know that one of their European Australian movement brothers welcomed a healthy new baby girl with his partner.
It jumped off the page.
When I see partner, I'm sort of like, what's going on?
All right.
Why is it a partner and not a wife?
But we're not knocking them anyway.
I'm sure.
Just like Tom, they're engaged.
They're in the process of getting married.
No, it's okay.
I don't, you know, get married.
But we're not going to give you a big deal about temporary partner status.
Congratulations, whoever you are.
Thank you, GTP, for letting us know about that one.
God bless.
Godspeed down under.
We need more whites in Australia, among many other places as well.
Kind note from the audience.
Thank you for everything you guys do.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
I wish I had your show 10 years ago.
Life would have been a lot different.
Got another one from a, yeah, I kind of alluded to that already, gave away the game, but I'll just say Jake sent Jake.
Jacob sent a message and said, last episode of Full House was great.
Always enjoy listening to Tom.
Wish there were more guys like him out there.
I'm also sorry to hear about all the issues you're dealing with, Coach.
The depression piece really hit home for me, and I'm sure many other guys as well.
This has been the hardest year of my life, and I've been really down in the dumps for the last few weeks.
The relationship that I originally reached out about for advice completely fell apart.
I should not have ignored the red flags.
Hindsight is 2020, et cetera.
The state of younger women, 20s to 30s, is atrocious these days.
And I've been pretty blackpilled about it.
Might be a good topic for next show.
But anyway, thanks again.
So, you know, he's not wrong, but at the same time, it's like, how, how often do we hear that from all the corners sort of like blame the women, blame the scene?
And you know what?
He asked about the best dating apps.
And I put that in the private chat to solicit people's opinions.
I had to say, I was like, hey, guys, can you tell me the best dating apps?
Literally asking for a friend.
My wife said that.
And the two overwhelming responses were Hinge and Catholic Date or Meet a Catholic, something like that.
Rolo, do you remember?
It was definitely Hinge.
Coffee Meets Bagel.
I heard that one.
I don't, yeah, that was one of the ones mentioned.
But anyway, it was basically.
I wasn't sure if that was a joke when a guy said that was for blacks meeting Jewish women.
Because I would believe that that is like actually what I'm saying.
That's a thing.
Yeah, that's probably a thing.
Yeah, there's a Catholic dating app the guys really recommended for finding good women and then Hinge as well.
And somebody else made the point.
Look, you know, all of these dating apps have the problem of, you know, too many hot dogs, too few buttons.
And the way to overcome that is that you have to be operating on multiple platforms.
You can't just focus on one.
You're not in your pool.
And you're really, I guess, I don't know if it's unfortunate or if it's just reality.
You have to, you know, put yourself out there and, you know, play the field to get noticed.
You can't just, you know, see, see one cute girl on one app and think that that's going to be the one that works out.
Yeah, you got to meet a lot of people, I think, unless you, you know, that's at least at one point, you have to be like that, meeting a lot of people.
Then when you start to narrow in on certain thing that you're looking for, maybe then you don't have to meet as many.
But I think that you, that's the smart thing to do is, you know, it's so hard to say.
I mean, because I've known enough people in my life that where, you know, when it came time where I was single, I was like I had an idea who I was going to call anyways, you know.
And it's about knowing people.
So if you know enough people, then the dating apps are not as important.
But if you need to meet more people, you know, that's the whole thing is whether you're meeting them in real life or you're meeting them through an app or whatever it is.
You know, you got to, you got to meet enough people until you get you get a better feel for what you're looking for.
It's the only way I could put it.
Yep.
Reps, whether you like it or not.
Yeah, it's a game that you have to play.
It's a noble game.
I guess maybe it probably feels a little bit sordid sometimes online, you know, running probabilities.
I compare it to just anything else.
You know, when you really want something, it could be anything in life.
You know, when you, maybe you wanted a certain car in your life or I don't know, a certain thing, you know, you search high and low until you found it and you go and find the exact thing you wanted.
There's, you know what I'm saying?
When you really want something, you really go after it, you know, and especially the way a man's psyche is, you're going to, you're, you're going to do whatever it takes to get that thing, you know, so tap into that and you go after the thing just like anything else, a job, a career, some item that you really want.
You go after it until you get the thing.
Amen.
Yep.
And we showed, I posted on Telegram, you know, there's some study, whether it was 100% on the up and up or not, but the simple fact is that now something like 50%, it's approaching 50% of heterosexual couples starting around 2010.
The number one way that heterosexual couples have met starting around 2010 was online dating.
Oh, yeah.
I've known many people to meet that way.
It's not, there should not be any stigma attached to that.
Yeah.
That's been like that.
I've known about that stat for at least five or six years.
Like that, that's not like in the last post-COVID.
Big revelation.
Yeah.
It's like tranny suicides.
It's like as the world becomes more postmodern, just these numbers just keep going up.
Black criminality, online dating.
These are the ways of our lives.
Well, yeah, black criminality, that's been pretty consistent for as long as there have just been blacks in the world.
Oh, you don't, you don't think it's going up along with online data?
Yeah.
No, I think there's just, I just think there's more blacks around normal people.
It's the crime rate is the same.
It's just more people around blacks are experiencing it.
Well, and I think like since the 60s, especially as they have been able to shed any kind of white control over them, then they are becoming more themselves.
And the thing they are is criminal.
So once upon a time when there was so-called real racism in this country, that was a check on their behavior and they were more or less forced to behave better, you might say.
But as they have gotten their wish, which is to be free of whitey, then they become more like exactly the way you see them to be.
Are you saying that blacks are finally becoming who they are?
Yeah.
Become who you are.
I, you know, I neglected to mention that Hans is riding with us again in the second half.
He is soft-spoken and not a gabby guts like the rest of us.
But I did want to ask Hans, how did you get red-pilled for lack of a better term?
Were you always this way?
Well, I mean, I always realized that blacks were not as intelligent and more violent, but I was Republican for a while.
And then it's like, well.
After the Patriot Act, I was like, wait, this is the Republicans passing this?
All right.
So Patriot Act pissed you off.
Go on.
Yep.
Well, and then, so then I kind of became apathetic for a while.
And then I was like, well, this is all garbage.
And then I started looking into homesteading and my became real, let's just wait for the collapse.
And then I was reading Joel Salatin's stuff.
And he said he was a libertarian.
And I'm like, oh, well, this is going to be the thing that makes me not like him.
And I read it and I'm like, oh, this makes sense.
So I kind of went down that route for a while.
Joel Salatin, farmer in Virginia, famous for having very common sense, I guess, ecologically friendly crop cycling and animal cycling, right?
Yeah.
And they're trying to cancel him now for being racist, too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's like old school, just common sense.
Like everybody.
Yeah.
And then I started looking deeper into things.
I was like, wow, these Jews keep coming up a lot.
I'm like, yeah.
It's like, and hey, why do they tell me that I should read the Communist Manifesto to argue against communists, but never tell me I should read Mein Kampf?
Maybe I should actually read this.
And then, yep, I started looking into some other things and took me down this rabbit hole.
And I'm like, wow, this makes a lot more sense.
Amen, brother.
Glad to have you with us.
No matter, yeah.
I mean, yeah, all that Patriot Act, Iraq War stuff, that was real.
I mean, that was where the meat was back in the day.
Opposition to the Iraq war, whether you were a, you know, Pat Buchanan conservative type or a liber, already budding libertarian.
This stuff has stunk to high heaven for a long time.
And getting around to race realism and the knowledge about Jewish power and Jewish malignancy is critical to it.
I got one more note from the audience that I got to listen.
Sam, I realized, yep, a couple people said, oh man, can't believe Sam left that great news to the very end.
Sort of a reward for the listeners who make it to the very end of the Sewell show second half when you shared that, you know, we, a listener of ours reached out about donating a kidney to Sam's friend.
I've met Sam's friend, but I don't know him very well.
So God bless Sam and the prospective donor.
And I realized that I was kind of being a pussy about, or maybe irresponsible for like not reaching out, you know, the whole thing.
Like, oh, I don't want to mess it up.
You know, like if I just don't say anything, maybe we'll go forward, cross my fingers and hope for the best.
So I did reach out to our dear listener who is still absolutely going forward with it.
And I just said, hey, man, I want to thank you again.
And obviously want to give you as much credit as possible without busting your privacy and whether it goes through or not.
And he sent a really kind note back.
And he said, here's one thing I'd like for you and the gang to know.
I am very thankful for your show and the role it has played in my life.
I don't know if you remember any of our past emails, but a couple of years ago, I discovered your show.
I listened for a few weeks and was amazed to know there were actually people who thought like me.
After you plugged an IRL network, I immediately emailed you and asked about it.
And when I reached out, I was a fat.
I had no money, no assets in life, barely any skills, and only a few friends.
I then got vetted by a local group, and they gave me a chance.
The good guys there molded me into a better person.
I now am in good physical shape.
I'm moving into my own place soon.
I've made meaningful relationships in my life that will last until I'm dead.
And I've grown into something that resembles a man.
The least I can do is extend the same faith that was offered to other men in our movement.
So, yeah, this guy deserves a ton of credit.
He's still going forward.
You know, it's a whole, it's a whole process, as you mentioned last week, Sam, that still has some hurdles that need to be passed, etc.
But I didn't think there was a snowball's chance in hell, Sam, that it was going to work out.
Well, that's the thing.
You know, you put something out there.
Like, you know, let's say you needed a car and you're like, man, I just cannot get one right now.
You put it out there.
There might be somebody.
Hey, I got this car in my driveway.
I want to get rid of it anyways.
Can I just give it to you?
You know, you just, people, people will surprise you with things.
You know, yeah, I didn't mean to hold that to the end of the show.
That was a very busy show, you know, and it was, you know, me, I always got a big list of things I want to talk about.
And I wanted to at least put, get a few off, off the list.
The list was getting long.
So I apologize for holding it to the very end there.
And, you know, that's just the way it worked out.
It's all fine.
It's, it's great.
A reward for people who made it to the end.
So Godspeed, guys.
Yeah.
I hope that worked out, obviously, in both directions.
And before we get on to more meat, we got a feds meeting feds advertisement here.
First time in a while.
And it's a woman.
It's a woman.
And everybody's getting excited.
Oh, but here's the gist.
It's only for, well, it's not only for our Euro bros, but she is located in Eastern Europe.
And a friend, a well-known friend of mine is the one who was in contact with her.
And his body count was too high for her, but they're still friends and they're in touch.
And he floated the idea of doing this.
I said, I don't know, you know, who knows how many guys in Europe are listening to this, but here goes.
Greetings, fellow white people.
I'm a 25-year-old Slavic Roman Catholic woman located somewhere in Eastern Europe.
I'm looking for a husband, preferably around my age or younger, but I don't mind anyone a few years older, isn't COVID vaxed and is also Roman Catholic, NS, and is a virgin.
I am a virgin myself, and I expect the same from my future husband.
Sorry, I'm a bit on the taller side at 184 centimeters tall.
That's a bit over six feet in non-ethnic units.
All right.
So we got an Amazonian Catholic virgin.
I see some elements of the audience.
Wow.
Getting very excited already, you know, looking up flights on kayak.
My best features, I would say, are my eyes, lips, and a build meant for bearing children.
I have other creative skills, but that's something I think should be shared with someone who could actually appreciate me and work toward building a lasting relationship and family with me for the glory of God and our race and continuation of our people and heritage.
So.
Wow, that's amazing.
I don't want a million dudes in the DMs, but if that sounds interesting, and I'm sure it does, but remember, she's looking for a virgin, ideally.
Maybe one or two dalliances she could look past.
Anyway, I have her Telegram handle.
I'm not going to give any more details.
Eastern Europe bros or Europe bros in general.
If you want to give it a shot, give it a stab.
Think you might make muster.
And this might be the real deal.
Email in fullhouse show at protonmail.com.
Or I think it's pretty obvious who I am on Telegram by now.
Drop a line in the comment zone or whatnot, and uh well, we can make that work.
One other thing about, like you're saying, on dating apps there's oh, there's more hot dogs and buns and all that.
Well, that may be so, but just remember, in the world there are more women than men.
Yep, you know so.
So be encouraged.
You know, I know it's this discouraging, but you know the women have the same problem as the men.
They, they need a good man and just like our yeah, just like our listener there yep, I want to ex, I want to expand on that thing.
Um, so there was a study that showed that if a person, like a human being, has more than like x number of choices and it's not that many, it's like four or five or something then their brain doesn't know what to do with it.
So a problem that a lot of people have on these apps is that a lot of women they'll join and then they'll have like thousands of matches or messages within minutes of joining and they, they do get overwhelmed and yeah they, they'll just turn it off.
So a lot of guys like, don't get discouraged, that you're not getting matches or messages is a lot of the women.
They just, they just get freaked out by all the attention and it it's.
It's why people were only watching the Office on Netflix, because there was just so much variety and they couldn't pick.
It's the same thing, so don't get too down like oh, I never get any matches well, that's because the women are getting a thousand, and then they're just deleting the app.
So it's, it's not you, it's, it's the world you live in, like human nature kind of a thing.
Meanwhile, the guys are like oh, what I wouldn't do to have like thousands of women lining up in my inbox for a date.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, it's.
It's just like the, the brains don't work the same way.
No, variety is the space of life.
Yep, for men, did you uh, did you have an opinion on Hinge there Rollo, I mean?
I remember somebody also said, hey look, I met my wife on tinder.
Don't, don't give it a, you know, don't rule it out.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah uh well yeah, we know who that is.
But uh you, of all people, I mean, you have an opinion on these things.
Have you tried Hinge or do you endorse that I?
I have tried Hinge uh, from what i've found, is there?
There seems to be a higher quality of woman that also seems to be a little more open to responding, because with a lot of these apps it it's like gambling.
You don't know who's talking to you.
A lot of people are just not allowed to send direct messages and on hinge the, the person is told that they're matching with you or trying to, and you can leave a message too.
So you know, if you're, if you're really good at uh one-liners liners, then hinge may be better, where everything else is just here's picture, here's generic profile profile.
On hinge you could say something nice yeah uh, we also have a buddy who does uh consult and help people fix up their dating profile, uh profiles essentially.
Um, so I don't know.
We're in touch with him.
If, if that's of interest to you, can possibly uh connect you with somebody who can, for a fee, presumably modest, I don't know what he charges uh, you know, basically improve your chances of helping out there.
I don't know if it's uh worthwhile or not, but anyway um, all right, I the only two things I have here in the second half are the Hpv Vax and then also the melatonin debate.
But Sam, I wanted to go over to you because you got a big stack.
Uh pick, pick the best one or the one you're most excited about.
Uh, to get us started here.
Um well, uh well, i'll tell this church story.
Maybe it's a real quick one.
You know you think you're going to tell a story.
Maybe it turns out to be just brief brief, but you know, last time I told you a story about, you know, the people who have a, have a child who has some kind of disability and and stuff like that, and it was uh story kind of choked me up really.
But uh, I had another story kind of similarly related, but this one, at least to me, was kind of funny and uh, I just thought I would tell it quickly.
Um so, so when you're homeschooling, you know, sometimes you get involved in a homeschooling co-op where you do things with other homeschooling families and just to give the kids a sense of uh uh, participating in some kind of group activity such as putting on a play or something like that, which was the case.
Um, we went to see this uh play, that uh uh the, and they were mainly young, younger children that were doing it and um and, and it was a potluck too.
So there was uh, there was this uh event and then there was a potluck afterwards and uh so uh we, we got in line, for we were we, we were kind of really at the end of the line.
There was a lot of people.
There had to be at least 200, if not 250, people there.
And uh, when you have a potluck like that, of course there's like a, a ton of food and uh, so we're, we're in line, and uh, people are getting their food and people are already, of course, then sitting down and and eating.
This is like uh, I say uh, a homeschool co-op, specifically a Catholic homeschool co-op, so it has that kind of a kind of an element to it anyway.
So we're standing in line and uh, in front of us I could see, here's this uh, this family uh, the husband and wife, you know maybe uh, you know a bit younger than me, but not a lot, you know, I don't know, maybe they're 50-ish or something like that, or late 40s, and um, they're there with the some of the children I could see one of the girls was somebody who had been in the play.
She still had her outfit on and things like that and then the oldest child was this guy.
I put him about maybe, maybe 19 or 20 years old at the most, but just developmentally, he was like adult practically.
And I could tell something was not quite right with him, but he was kind of a, he's had his arm on the mother and then he was he was stroking her hair and kissing her top of her head and everything like that.
But then he was, he would, he was kind of, he would, he would then hold on to the younger brother kind of and he just took him down like in a wrestling move, you know, boom, he took him down like a something you'd see on WWE wrestling.
And the mother turns and she says, oh, I'm sorry, you know, he's autistic and this and that.
And I said, oh, hey, no, no problem, you know, and everybody was okay.
It was just, you know, he's a little rough with them like that.
And it was playful, though, and he wasn't too bad.
But I could see that the parents then were kind of close, like kind of sticking close to him to keep him calm and not so that he wouldn't act up or anything like that.
And then, so people are already eating and stuff like that.
Maybe even some people are finishing there.
And then this big kid, he breaks away from the family and he goes over to the table and there's like an empty plate with some of the plastic where he grabs it, picks it up.
There's another empty plate next to it where the people are still sitting there just finishing.
He slams them on top of each other.
Boom, boom.
And meanwhile, the father has gone after him to try to corral this big kid.
And he comes back.
He goes around the father.
He spins around and he goes to the garbage can like a Dr. J driving to the hoop and he slams the plates and the silverware into the garbage can like a slam dunk.
And then, okay, so then the father gets him and kind of pulls him into the line.
And the mother turns around again.
She says, oh, I'm sorry.
You know, he has, he's, he's autistic and he has compulsive, obsessive, compulsive disorder about cleaning up.
And I couldn't, I couldn't help, but it's probably not right.
I couldn't help but kind of joke.
I said, well, you know, you know, there's worse things that you can give my kids a shot of that.
I'm saying maybe we let the guy go a little bit here.
I mean, yeah, he was like, I mean, but I just thought it was so remarkable that he, I mean, he knew to grab the stuff that people were done with, you know, but but but he was just, I mean, he just slammed the stuff into the garbage can.
And I just, I, I couldn't help but chuckle to myself, right or wrong about that.
And it was just funny to me.
I suppose if I had to put a poignant ending on it, I would say, well, you know, yeah, this, this guy, he's, you know, he's autistic or retarded or something.
He has to be taken care of by his parents and that, which is too bad.
But all I would say is, you know, when was the last time you stroked your mother's hair and kissed her on the head?
My mother or his mother?
Well, your own, your own mother, I guess.
But yeah.
So, you know, it was a nice, nice thing there, but it was a nice event.
And that just made me chuckle.
Good stuff.
Yeah.
I, you know, I almost, I almost skipped over it.
I had a problem.
We got a lovely note from a female listener, and it was just one of those kind of long ones.
I was like, ah, man, I'm going to have to edit that down.
But then she helped me out.
She was like, you can just summarize that first part.
So here goes real quick.
White pill from Elisa.
You can use that name, she said.
And she said, since Coach said he was feeling down and it's that time of year for sure, wanted to drop you guys a message.
I'm overdue to do this anyway.
Figured I'd share a white pill from when I was in college and let you know about our new family.
If you want to read the story on air, you're fine.
You know what?
It's not that long.
I'll read this, guys, because it's from a woman, which is relatively rare, and it's got a happy ending.
So here goes.
I was in college, a leftist starting to drift our way politically.
I was also starting to take an interest in Christianity.
Even if a lot of modern churches are bad, the structure and morals of it were appealing.
But unfortunately, I had gotten out of a very bad relationship not too long ago.
The trauma of it, combined with being on birth control, yes, it really messes with your preferences and hormones, ended up with me in a lesbian relationship.
My new Christian friends and people I was talking to in the dissonant right were all telling me to stop participating in the LGBTQXYZ lifestyle.
They were giving me lots of useful advice that my parents love them, but naive boomers and public school upbringing absolutely did not.
People telling you you're going to be an unhappy aged cat lady or end up in a worse situation if you don't turn things around on its own isn't convincing.
But if those people are in shape and with a decent physiognomy, aren't hypocritical, are forgiving about the state of the world, leading folks to bad places, have a good work ethic, etc.
Now that is convincing.
I eventually agreed that there's no point in acting like a poor substitute for a man instead of working on yourself to find a good husband.
What a lady.
Shame she's not still single.
At the time, I was taking summer classes downtown to save money.
I didn't have a car and live far from the city.
So I'd hike through a decent sized patch of woods to shorten up my daily half hour walk to the bus line.
Shortly after I left the LGBTQ stuff behind, I was headed home from classes on the bus.
The sky was dark, so I knew it was going to storm, but I didn't expect it would be bad.
On my walk back, it started pouring buckets.
I was worried about my electronics and papers for school, so I cut through the woods to save time, even though it was a very heavy storm.
About a third of the way through the woods, it got so windy that a couple trees and branches started coming down.
I didn't want to go back, so I started sprinting over hills and through the mud.
Nothing touched me.
My parents and siblings were out of town at the time.
I got home to the empty house, went inside, and was hit with a wave of something that was either ancient instinct or intervention.
I recall falling to the floor and swearing to the Lord that I would have a family and nothing would stop me in a fit of tears that didn't feel like sadness.
The power came back on later and I learned that despite my efforts, my phone had gotten wet and did not work.
So I spent the next few days on my own, going to class, thinking, and following a routine.
As time went on, I took better and better habits.
I cut out alcohol, drugs, partying, negative influences, and started getting up at 5 a.m. to work out, then study.
I went from failing to passing in one semester of school.
After meeting someone who seemed promising, I later dropped out of college to work a trade and save up cash for a rural home instead of pursuing a career I no longer wanted.
It was not easy and there were hardships along the way.
But someone is definitely up there looking out for us.
Nature built us to thrive.
Even when all seems lost and people are living lives of sin, we can be saved under the right circumstances.
Help did not come to me.
Insight did not come to me until I subconsciously and then consciously sought something better.
I am happily married now with a son under a year and one more on the way due this fall.
While I didn't learn about Full House until I was already starting down the right path, you guys definitely had a good influence.
See, now she's saying, yeah, you can't give you too much credit.
Hoping for elements in the movement to make up and our circles to continue growing because our message is life-saving.
Thank you and blessings.
It will be spring soon.
H. Thank you, Elisa.
I assume it's Elisa, Elisa.
common name on CommonSock, but a wonderful message.
I, when I first read that, I thought, and I don't know, that wasn't so bad.
I'm glad I read that.
That was totally worth it.
I should definitely.
I thought maybe like some, you know, Chad was going to come along to help her in the woods in that storm.
And that was going to be the husband.
But no, it was sort of just, it was that, that epiphany that she had.
Yeah.
She made it.
She made it home.
Phone got soaked and drenched and she kind of turned it around.
Yeah.
On that, on that point.
Amazing.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
Beautiful story.
Congratulations, Madir.
Keep in touch.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Thanks for writing in.
I appreciate it.
And that's obviously relevant to guys.
Look, she was going to be a, I don't know.
She's going to be a dyke, a lonely cat lady with ex-wives, ex-girlfriends.
And she said, no, absolutely not.
God bless.
All right.
Melatonin.
Hans, do you ever give melatonin to your kids?
Have you ever?
Not.
All right.
Because it's a big, it's a big thing out there.
I didn't do a ton of medical research.
I'm going with the radical centrism on this.
I know parents who give their kids melatonin before bed.
In theory, it's not habit forming.
It's a natural chemical that helps you get to sleep, but it's a big thing.
There have been studies that show that, yes, actually it can kind of become a crutch, even if it's just the kids thinking that they need that little gummy before bed.
And we do have melatonin gummies.
I think it's the one microgram or one milligram, whatever the dosage is.
It's a small one for kids.
And junior never needs it.
Daughter, very rarely.
And our youngest more than the others.
And I think it's probably okay occasionally and you don't want to make it a regular thing.
But that's, that's just my take, you know, sort of middle of the road.
I don't think a melatonin here and there is going to, you know, really hurt your kids or make them addicted to it.
But maybe if you give it to them every night before bed, it is.
Sam, any familiarity with this?
Did you ever have to?
It's kind of a niche phenomenon.
Yeah, I can remember taking it myself before I figured out that coffee was keeping me awake at night.
And then, excuse me.
And, but for kids, yeah, boy, I don't know.
Yeah, melatonin is a natural substance that is in the body anyways.
And you certainly don't want to get dependent on it.
But for those parents where they're at their wit's end, right?
And the child will just simply not settle down and go to sleep.
Yeah, maybe that is a last resort type of an option that could help.
You got those nights, right, where an unexpected long nap in the car happened or they're just totally worked up and you're like, you know, it feels a little dirty, you know, like here, take this, you little sleep.
You know, it's like mother's little helper, you know, kids, kids' little helper.
And when I've taken it, I found maybe this is off, but my, my recollection is that when I take melatonin, yes, it does help me get to sleep, but then I wake up in like two hours.
Like it wears off.
My body's like, oh, the melatonin's gone.
Yeah.
You were a little muddled there, Rolo.
That happened to you too?
Yeah.
Like if I take, like, if I melatonin right now, I'd be asleep in probably 30 minutes, but then I'd probably wake up in like four hours and I wouldn't be able to sleep for like three or four other hours.
Yeah.
And it may just be, it may not be the melatonin wearing off.
It may just be like your body's like, no, I don't actually want to sleep right now.
And you're like forcing me to, and then I'll revolt.
And you mentioned Gabba.
I got to go to the bowling alley.
Got to go bowling.
You mentioned GABA Rolo.
What do you know about that?
And do you like it?
I like GABA.
It feels melatonin.
When I started taking it, I felt like it worked for a little bit.
And then it got to the point where I might as well have been taking Ambien, where I probably wouldn't get, I wouldn't be able to fall asleep without it.
Where GABA, it helps kind of wind your brain down so you can lay down and relax.
I've been taking it for a while.
And I started taking it a few years back when I started getting into whatever I could to help me sleep because I was hopped up on so much caffeine from the stuff that I would take when I got into like real serious lifting.
And a lot of stuff had GABA in it as the main active ingredient.
And it's like, well, why don't I just take the GABA then?
Because all this other stuff, like I'm paying like $100 for 30 servings of GABA and some other things.
And I'll just buy GABA for like $10 for probably servings.
It is over the counter.
Oh, yeah.
Like you, I don't know if, I don't know if they have it at Walmart or like a Walgreens or something, but you can get it on Amazon.
If you've ever seen, they have like the orange bottle.
It's the thing that they have like every over-the-counter thing, like the vitamin C or do you take it every night or just when you need it?
I take it every night because I always need it.
See, I'm so smart that my brain doesn't ever want to slow down.
So I just have to take it.
Another X, two X's, X's on the goats and that claim there.
No.
I hear you.
Are you still taking like whatever those caffeinated high energy substances were for workouts?
Oh, no, no.
I haven't done that in a long time because that was like 300 milligrams of caffeine per serving.
And I was just doing that every day.
Just like begging for a heart attack.
Yeah.
All right.
Check out GABA, fam.
I had never heard of it, so I'm not going to endorse it or turn it down here.
I think a little melatonin here and there is fine.
Benadryl, frankly, was always my go-to.
If I had a long flight, oh man, red wine and Benadryl, and I'd be out even if I was back in economy on a flight to India next to the bathroom.
Indians like to take their, like, they had like bare feet on those international flights to New Delhi.
Let me tell you, flying from Newark to New Delhi non-stop in the back of a United 777 or whatever it was.
Oh, God.
Like to Benadryl and like trying to sweet talk the stewardess to give me more wine.
That was the only thing that would work.
And then you got to ask her to put her hands around your neck to like make it work quicker.
Yes, please.
Oh, my God.
If they go out those flights and then be terribly jet-lagged when I arrive.
But yeah, check out GABA, Rolo endorsed.
I like about spring because I get hit with allergies from flowers pretty hard.
I'm like, oh, baby, time to take the Benadryl.
I'm out like a light.
Oh, yeah.
Yep.
And yeah, and it's been around forever.
It's pretty stable chemical.
When, yeah, occasionally, Benadryl will work and it'll help you with your allergies.
I wanted to ask about the HPV vax because I think you should get it, coach.
Are you calling my, are you calling my wife a horror or are you calling me a cad?
I'm trying to protect your wife and you.
Okay.
I don't do, I, I, I don't cheat and I don't do, yeah.
Yeah, but you share a lot of needles with vagrants.
Now it's getting, now it's getting weird.
God, that actress, Marsha and her husband, I guess she had HPV and then the husband got throat cancer from a little bit of the naughty, naughty play.
Anyway, the reason I bring it up is because, yeah, we're talking about I'm getting into the big leagues of fatherhood.
They're not just little kids anymore.
Junior had to get, or he has to get future tense, a couple shots to advance to the next grade next year.
And it was meningitis and I think like the D-Tap booster, if I recall correctly.
I was going to say the shots he should take should be old Harper and Jameson.
Those are much safer.
Take Hans's fire water.
Fire elixir.
Fire cider.
Fire cider.
Thank you, Sam.
But so there were those two that like, you know, sorry, that's just state law that you have to have those vaxes to go on.
And I'm not going to make a stink about that.
He was due for them anyway.
And then they gave the option for the HPV.
And I said, HPV, isn't that the like, you know, butt cancer, hypersexually active thing?
But no, it's, it's, of course, a cervical, it's a virus that can cause cervical cancer in women.
And then I guess men can get it, but in some cases, it manifests into oral cancer.
But I asked around and created a poll of whether the HPV vax makes sense for our sons, our sons and our daughters, or nothing at all.
And of course, the overwhelming response was, no, don't take it.
It does have a higher incidence of side effects than usual.
There's no way optionally, CDC recommended vaccinating my son for HPV at his still young age.
But I would consider it for dear daughter at some point.
Now, there's all sorts of issues around this from vaccine principles, et cetera.
Does that then incentivize irresponsible behavior?
They recommend it for 10 and 11 and as early as nine years old.
Now, the kid doesn't know that they're getting a sexually spread vaccine for this virus that mostly affects women.
But I would consider it for daughter down the road just as a precaution in clown world in a disgusting clown world, not to like encourage sexual activity or, oh, you got this, you're fine.
You know, go forth and have fun, but just as a precaution.
And when it comes to junior, I think we're going to err on not getting it at all.
Thanks.
No thanks.
Don't have to worry about it.
And Rolo, you made a good point about why HPV vacces might make sense for the broader population given the activities going on.
Oh, yeah.
All these regulations.
It's just because of blacks, because blacks can't control themselves and they can't not rape their children.
So that's why we have to be faced with this dilemma.
Like, should I do this because of this potential STD risk?
Well, like, you're risking a what seems like a new vaccine.
And it's because blacks rape children and Jews.
They're raping everybody.
Yeah.
And I actually, I reached out to a couple medical professionals who said, you know, it probably would make sense down the road at some point, but there's absolutely like, I'm sorry, they're not, you know, it's not like naive parent.
Not my son, not my daughter, not at this age.
No, they're way too young.
There's no, there's no need to introduce that to their systems at this point.
And one day down the road, maybe we can cross that bridge.
But for now, we're giving the Russian propaganda sign.
Yet, no, thank you.
We don't need HPV vaccines in this house and certainly not for my son.
Daughter, I'm leaving the door open.
Hans, has that cross your threshold at all?
Have you even been offered that or encouraged to get that for your kids?
Well, I'm, yeah, my kids are not doing that.
I mean, my daughter, she's almost 16 and my oldest son is 14.
And like, we're like, I've seen too many vaccine injured kids where they, and yeah, we, we, yeah, away from the vaccines pretty much altogether.
Did, uh, did you do them when they were little and then start to turn against vaccines in general?
Or have you been anti-vax for a long, you know?
Yeah, we've been anti-vax for a long time.
My, okay, my wife is fairly crunchy.
Yep.
Yeah, like Nazi hippie.
Like, she gets it, but she's very natural as much as possible.
And yeah, we've seen too many vaccine issues and looking in things.
And I mean, yeah, they're rare, but it's always a possibility.
And we don't want to mess our kids up.
Like, yep.
And you're not homeschooling, right?
Your kids go to school?
No, we homeschool.
Ah, I should, I should have known that.
All right.
Makes more sense.
Yeah, because I mean, some of these vaccines, they won't lay in the door without them.
Yeah.
All right.
Good stuff.
Do you mind if I ask what curriculum you use or any stories from from the homeschool front?
Just real quick here.
Probably start landing this puppy soon.
Well, I mean, my wife does most of the homeschool stuff.
She goes through Christian catalog and she orders their curriculum and they take different things every year.
Like my boy was a little upset that they didn't continue Latin this year, but my daughter was pretty glad that they didn't learn in Latin.
Right.
So now they're learning German this year.
Cool.
They're doing some history of the world stuff.
Like they're learning.
I mean, stuff.
Pretty a la carte.
Like she just kind of picks out what they're going to learn this year and then orders the books.
Flexibility.
Yep.
Yeah.
Good stuff.
Yeah.
You know, we've talked about a lot on the show, but our kids are starting to sort of come into their own and get accolades and, you know, knock on wood still, whether it's our inoculation and candid conversations with them about some of the garbage that's going to get put on them, especially Black History Month and Holocaust stuff.
but they're doing well and haven't noticed any changes as a result of them going to the dreaded government schools.
So your mileage may vary.
We certainly salute the homeschoolers here.
And I personally am not going to hate on you as long as those schools are safe and you're having canon conversations and your kids aren't changing.
Anyway, don't need to get back into that can of worms.
But Sam, we probably got time.
I don't know.
Rolo is probably playing Magic the Gathering and hasn't been putting the time stamps here in the second half.
What are we at, Rolo?
I don't want to go too long.
Put him on the spot.
We got five minutes.
We got five minutes.
All right, Sammy baby, one more from that list.
Then we'll land this puppy.
Yeah, I got a couple things I definitely want to get in more just announcement or quick little things.
This is a new trend, Sam.
You know, we got like Sam's list here.
Fire at Will.
Well, first of all, being that this is we're recording on Sunday night, perhaps we would record again next Sunday night, in which case it will be too late to tell listeners to consider celebrating St. Joseph's Day, which will be the 19th of March next Sunday, and in which case it will be over if we're recording on that day.
But you may recall from shows in the past that I brought up St. Joseph's Day and I even provided some pictures.
It's a wonderful thing to celebrate.
It's kind of more of an Italian type of a tradition.
I think it has origins in something like there was a famine and part of their prayers, they invoked St. Joseph and they found relief from their famine that was going on.
So if you just Google St. Joseph's Day and look at the images, you'll just see these beautiful spreads that people make.
They'll make like they call it a St. Joseph's altar in their home.
And we do that as well.
And they'll make cookies.
And the idea is a type of dough that you could twist into different shapes like crosses or other type religious symbols.
But being that it's a feast day that occurs in Lent, it features a fish-based pasta, which is really delicious.
So you can see the recipes out there if you look, but it's something we enjoy doing.
We decorate a little bit like an altar, so to speak, with flowers.
We make some cookies.
We make the fish-based pasta.
And it's just a nice little tradition to have.
So I'm mentioning that quickly for anybody that might be interested.
The other thing I wanted to mention is a friend and a listener of the show is his band, Battlefront, is putting out a new record.
It will be out tomorrow on Monday.
Whenever you might listen to this show, you might check listeners that would be interested could check.
The website is HC Streetwear.
The H and the C stands for hate crime, which sounds really bad, but hcstreetwear.net.
And anyways, this guy's a really good dude.
And the band's history goes back to the 90s, which is when they put their first record out.
And they've had kind of, you know, on and off time.
And they haven't put out a lot of stuff necessarily in between, but they had repressed a record in 2017.
But this is going to be all new material.
And he's a good dude.
And he's a friend and then a listener of the show.
So I just thought I would mention it.
You know, there's a lot of great white nationalist music out there.
People might have this word skinhead get stuck in their craw.
They don't like the sound of that.
There's a lot more to white nationalist music than OI and RAC.
There's folk metal and Viking metal, black metal.
There's folk music.
There's even electronic music and even rap music.
And so I just, you know, hey, it's good to support our own stuff, you know, and if you're like me, I like to get a new record or a new CD.
And I'm always excited to open the package and get something new like that.
So I wanted to mention hcstreetwear.net.
But also I wanted to mention another great website, record label and distributors, tinnitus records, just like, you know, hearing loss, tinnitus.
And the reason I'm mentioning these two in particular is these are American sites.
And there's a lot of the big and I have to say best record labels, websites, and distributors are in Europe.
And they're certainly worth patronizing and visiting their sites and seeing what they're having.
They always have all the newest stuff, the best stuff and deep catalogs.
But these American distributors have really come up.
And what's good about ordering something from America, if you're in America, it doesn't have to cross the ocean and all that kind of stuff.
You know, you can get a little quicker.
You don't have to deal with German on the Rebel Records website for Wellington Arms, which I boosted Wellington Arms again, Sam.
It was so genuine because I was just absolutely jamming in the car, listening to that CD again.
And unfortunately, some of the, like, we played two of their songs on Full House, and the other ones are pretty, the ones that I was really digging were pretty profane.
They do have a few bad words in there here and there.
But anyways, those are just things, you know, maybe people don't know about.
And definitely check out those two sites, tonnitus records and hcstreetwear.net.
All right.
I'll put those in the show notes for sure, big guy.
All right.
And oh, the other thing I wanted to say to the audience is, you know, part of being a sad guts in late winter or whatever is just the reality.
I was like, you know, I got the bum knee.
I can't go running like I like to.
I was like getting fat.
And I was like, okay, you know, March 1st, when March 1st hit, I was like, all right, it's a new month.
Spring is coming.
Time to get into shape, whether it's vanity or health or whatever.
So I just started doing the fasting thing again.
I'm doing one meal a day with one.
You'll gain more weight doing that.
Wrong.
I'm down 10 pounds in about two weeks, Rolo.
Long term, it slows down your metabolism.
It will make you fatter.
Test the lazy man's diet.
I'm saying that.
Not as a troll.
I'm saying that as your friend.
That's fine, but I'm not driving to a gym.
I can't do my 5Ks.
And I can like once I release the beast and have that meal, like it's just open season.
And if I just get up and say, nope, you know what?
Fatty, you're not eating until dinner time.
That has the pounds fall.
Now, will they come back?
Will they come back on me?
You know, once the summer's over or whatever?
Sure, maybe.
But it works for me.
And it's good to see.
Well, here's the thing.
It's Lent, you know, so you keep this up during Lent and, you know, cut out the eating in between meals at least.
Do that.
And, you know, it's a time just to instill a little bit better discipline within oneself.
Absolutely.
And there is new studies, quote unquote studies that shows that, you know, fasting, extended fasting could have some actual negative effects.
I'm not talking about Rolo, you're going to get fat again, but just like, you know, it introduces some stress to your system.
Whereas other guys like Dennis Mangin would say, no, that's actually good.
That's how we evolved is to go long stretches without food, to not constantly have food.
The body sort of regenerates and eats up this old crap.
All I can tell you is that I was not pleased with my weight.
And this works to get me thinner.
And I would be a lot more physically active if it weren't for my damn knee and my back, but we're not billy aching about that for sure.
So if, you know, and I know other guys too who said, oh, no, absolutely, the intermittent fasting works for me and Hollywood celebrities too.
So I tried intermittent fasting and I gained weight.
And then I went to a balanced diet of protein, fat, and carbohydrates.
And I'm ripped.
So, and if you want to ask Juice about this, he can give you the scientific analytic explanation for why you shouldn't do that.
Fair enough.
Did we ask Juice that when he came on?
No, we didn't ask him that.
No, I've talked to him about that because I was like, hey, I tried this thing out.
It doesn't seem to be working.
He's like, oh, yeah, that's correct.
That's what sumo wrestlers do.
It will make you gain more weight in the long term.
It slows down your metabolism.
You'll lose weight in the short term, but it will make you fatter.
I mean, yeah, the simple fact is, you know, in the past decade, when I've been at my fittest, I was both exercising and doing intermittent fasting.
But I think I do remember Juice saying, hey, if it works for you, that's great.
He just has his philosophy on things.
I think very, very short term.
You know, I knew a guy that he did a 40-day fast one time.
Yeah.
Well, he was in prison.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
That's right.
But no, but he also said that rather than getting really thin, he had that like this strange kind of belly fat at the end of it.
And yep.
Yeah.
So, but I think, I think in the, in the case of like in a religious sense, where let's say you're going to fast on Friday or especially Good Friday or Ash Wednesday, I think, you know, a little bit of fasting here and there is good for your mentally and probably physically a short term type thing.
Fasting is also good if you're trying to detox from alcohol or protein or something like that.
Fasting should not be something you do for losing weight.
Fasting, it's good to get stuff out of your system, but your body does not know what it's breaking down.
It does not distinguish adipose tissue from muscle.
Yeah.
Maybe it's like part of a bigger strategy or something.
If you look at it that way, it could be helpful.
Yeah.
Or yeah, maybe I'm, you know, we when we fast, it's like, holy cow, there's a lot of food in the fridge that needs to be eaten.
And I'm usually the one to do it.
So I don't know.
Oh, well, I've been, I've been walking too for whatever.
I can walk.
That's the other thing.
I'm not just like sitting around starving.
We can walk.
Yes.
Power walking.
Like, yeah, I guess just go out there power walking like an old man.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Talk about sending Sam to the glue factory.
Send me to the super glue factory.
All right, fam.
Let's, yeah, let's land this puppy.
Hans, thank you so much for joining us.
And what is DMSO for the knee and back?
Not familiar with that either.
Dim side?
Sorry.
Well, I mean, I don't want to give medical advice necessarily because it's you buy it at the feed store.
It's for horses, joints, and ligaments.
I've used it on my, you know, it says for veterinary use only, but it does help.
But I'll look into it.
Don't worry, hostile listener.
I am not going to go take animal supplements on Hans's recommendation, but I'll see what it's all about.
Oh, ivermectin, right?
That's for horses as well.
Yeah, for dogs.
Don't forget ketamine.
All right.
Well, there are some people who have this idea, and it's maybe not wrong.
I don't know.
But they would say like things that are designed for humans, sometimes if to the conspiracy-minded person, they say, oh, well, they're giving that to people for this bad reason or that bad reason.
But things that are being given to animals, there's like a profit motive to keep animals truly healthy and not put something in there that's really poisoning them for some other purpose.
So there are those people who think like, you know, go if you want to take some kind of supplement or some kind of thing, you go find the thing that they give to animals that's that same substance and take that.
I'm not saying that's a correct attitude, but there are people who think like that.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm not going to say there might be something to that.
I don't know.
But anyways.
Fair enough.
Well, Hans, yeah, God bless you and your family and your wonderful homestead.
I'm sure I'll visit it one day sooner or later.
Yeah, God bless you too.
I look forward to it.
Thank you, brother.
Sammy Baby, thank you.
As always, we'll get to more of that stack next week.
We're going to stick to it.
Great.
Yeah.
It was a great show.
Thank you.
Yep.
Happy to do it.
Thank you guys for kicking me.
I was willing to pun it given my earlier presentation, but I'm glad we did it.
And Rolo, yeah, I believe you, you are probably right.
The best way would be to just eat normally and have the discipline to not pig out and also work out a ton.
But, you know, maybe.
You don't even need to work out a ton.
Just control your portions.
I can't.
I cannot.
It's the cracking.
Yeah, I get, you get that one cashew.
Oh, I could just use a couple of cashews right now.
Yeah.
My God, I'm starving.
Anyway, whatever.
I got to get Beach Body ready one way or another, whether Rolo likes it or not.
Thank you, Rolo.
Any last thoughts before we get out of here?
No, no, no.
All right.
Looks like the markets aren't melting down.
The people seem to be happy with the response.
We didn't talk at all about the bank failures and whether this is the big one.
I suspect that they learned their lesson and they're going to jump on this and whatever printing or bailouts or FDIC backing.
At this point, at least Sunday night, God, it's 1 a.m. now would just be midnight if it weren't for the time change.
It seems like they're going to fix the problem or put a bandaid over the problem rather than let it get crazy.
We'll see.
All right, everybody.
Full house episode 153 was recorded, started on March 12th, now March 13th.
Spring is March 20th this year.
It's one of those, not the 21st.
I hope it's not snowing still when I get out there.
And hey, take care of yourselves.
Get busy this spring.
Raise some chicks.
If nothing else, grow some tomatoes, some lettuce, cut your grocery bill, get some skills and have some fun with the kids.
It's one of the all-time best working with the kids with their hands in the dirt, planting seeds and watering things.
Can be frustrating, but can be delightful as well.
To take us out this week, I chose, I looked through my music for anything that had gardens or whatever in it.
And we've done a couple of those from past shows, but this is a fascinating.
I don't even know what genre this would be, but I love this track.
It's called Domino, and it's by Gardens and Villa.
Hit us up, fullhouse show at protonmail.com.
If you've got anything else, you know, we're on Telegram and Gab, and we do love you.
And we will talk to you next week.
I think I'm going to try to get Hammer in for that interview finally because everybody's talking about that anti-tranny protest and whether Hammer and his swastikas and Sig Hales and face tattoos was awesome and based in the coming man or cringe and fed and bad optics.
And we could have some fun with Hammer.
Anyway, we'll see if that comes through.
If not, we got plenty more in the hopper.
We love you.
We'll talk to you next week.
And I believe that this one is Hans's to say the magic words to get us out.
See ya.
See you.
Being all the lights in the sky, look around.
All the scent from your neck to my lungs.
They're going by.
Come running on time.
With some dolls in the room, I'll be mocking the lights.
All my chest tonight are being on fires.
Flickering on me down.
And away we go.
When it's over, we can fly.
I need certain ancient words alive.
My days are not falling under.
Jesus.
My days are not falling under.
Jasing all the dominoes.
Don't wanna let you go.
Never gonna let you go.
I don't wanna let you go.
I've got to leave you at home.
Don't wanna let you go.
Days are never falling under.
Jasing all the dominoes.
Days are never falling under.
Chasing all the dominoes far too long.
Days are never falling on the chasing all the dominoes for too long.
Days are never falling on the chasing all the dominoes for too long.
Days are not falling on the chase and all the dominoes far too long.
