If you weren't aware, we got a special show in store for you this week because I have been working like a dog for the past five or six days and honestly have not had that much time for show prep.
So we are flying casual this week with not one, but two special guests, a freshly slaughtered gigantic Cornish cross in the refrigerator.
And I have a small platoon of ice-cold Miller Lights in front of me.
No notes.
And we're going to have some fun this week.
So buckle up, get ready.
It's Full House episode 162.
Mr. Producer, please hit it.
Welcome, everyone, to Full House, the world's finest show for white fathers, aspiring ones, and the whole bio fam.
I am your relaxed and newly christened chicken slaughter Coach Finstock.
It's true.
We finally did the bit this week, and I've got some tales about that.
I won't dwell on it too high here at the top of the show.
But frankly, I'm glad we did it, and we'll talk about it later.
Before we meet the birth panel, though, we do have a couple donations, but they're all from anonymous donors this week.
Of course, we respect that.
So thank you very much.
And frankly, I thought the Lewis Country Store episode last week was excellent.
We did get a ton of nice feedback.
And if you missed it, please check it out.
It was a little bit different from us.
It was more American or Americana, excuse me, Americaner as well, perhaps.
And good to hear from our good pal, Brad, who's holding strong down in the south.
I am a little bit sunburned and ready to go.
Here we go with the birth panel.
And first up, if he were a vital podcast second in command, he would be on this show.
And he is.
It's Sam.
Welcome back, big guy.
Hey, Coach.
It's great to be here.
That chicken, how did you kill it?
Did you choke it or what?
I will tell you, Sam, but yes, I technically tried to choke it and then was not entirely satisfied with the results.
So then I had to get a little edgier with the dispatching of the chicken.
Yes, if you will.
Yeah.
Yeah, we went through that as well, killing some.
Actually, they were ducks.
We killed some ducks.
And yeah, it's an ordeal.
Did you step on the duck, Sam?
Is that how you killed him?
No, you're trying to get at their axe.
Axe.
An axe across the neck.
Yeah, I did not.
I did not break out the axe, but we'll get into a little bit of animal slaughter halal and the other options as well.
But it's the eve of Father's Day weekend.
Happy Father's Day early to all of us.
Yeah, exactly.
I was going to talk about some.
I'm already racking up the gifts.
If you could see in the viewer there, I got my dad t-shirt on.
It's a Babylon B dad t-shirt one of my sons gave me.
It's funny.
There's a picture of a dad there and he's got like it's diagrammed, like pointing out the hat he's wearing or whatever.
And it says like gut full of meat.
And it's pointing to his gut.
Speaking of gut full of meat, what did you have for dinner tonight, Sam?
Late on us.
Oh, well, you know, just really leftovers today.
You know, maybe tomorrow we'll try to get something.
I just saw my chicken, actually.
It's coincidentally.
There you go.
Yes, sir.
Terrific guy.
Welcome back.
Thanks for joining us on Saturday night.
And next up, he's got a special treat, or I should say he was sent a special treat that may appear this show later this show.
And he is a very more than adequate producer and a very good friend.
Rolo, what's up, buddy?
Well, thank you.
That was so nice.
I've been struggling sleeping lately.
And you know what I've been doing is I've been doing warm milk with nutmeg, and that's been helping me fall asleep.
No joke.
Yeah, I know.
The past couple of weeks, you've been doing these really elaborate lies, essentially, at the top of the show.
I was doing jokes.
Okay.
Don't call them lies.
Yeah, you had me for like a split second on a couple of them, but let's do some Rolo on the couch.
No homo.
Psychoanalyze yourself.
Why are you not sleeping well, my friend?
I don't know.
Yeah, maybe it's just because it's summer.
It's hot.
I have to have multiple fans on.
I'm just not used to the noise yet.
Maybe you just got to get adjusted to that.
Do you need a window air conditioner?
They make these things these days.
Well, those are loud too.
I mean, it's not that it's not because I'm hot.
The fan cools me off, but it's just the fan is loud.
But window air conditioners are also loud.
I mean, I've had you mentioned that you were like waking up at 2 a.m. and then having a hard time getting down.
You know, did you ever think about just waking up and then going back to sleep?
That's usually what I do when I wake up at 2 a.m.
You know, looking at the sleep.
Well, I try to, but I just can't get back to sleep.
So what do you do instead?
I stay up.
I after I try for an hour.
And if I can't fall asleep in an hour, then I'm just, I'm up.
And usually I don't fall back asleep.
Did you try reading or something like that?
I can't read.
No, no, I quite forgot about that.
Yeah, thank you.
No, I try meditating and that used to work for me, but it just lately I've, you know, just been struggling to just get, get, get back to sleep.
Have you tried melatonin?
Is that haram?
I have, but I still wake up early.
Okay.
Have you tried exercising?
I know you've not done that in your life before.
I mean, all these things, you know.
I've thought about exercising, but I feel like when I think about it, that's enough.
And I consider that a good workout for me.
All right.
No, I get, I get enough exercise.
Keep us.
Do you drink coffee?
No, I drink, I have about one cup every like two, three weeks just to clear out my liver.
Yeah.
Yeah, once in a while is okay.
But if you're having trouble sleeping, even though people, they drink it in the morning that stays in your system for a while, maybe could interfere with sleep.
Yeah.
And if I have coffee, it's going to be on a day where I feel like I do enough that I'm sweating all of it out.
Okay.
Like I won't, I won't have coffee on the day where I'm just going to like sit on my butt and do nothing.
I'm sorry I asked.
Yeah.
If I were listening to this podcast, I'd be like, all right, coach, that's enough with the sleeping and the rollo thing.
It's true.
Well, good luck, Rolo.
Keep us posted.
And hey, audience, if you have any home remedies or tricks other than self-maintenance, sleep, let us we can get Rolo a little bit more regular.
Well, next up, I am as surprised as I am pleased to have him back on the birth panel.
One of our originals, one of my best friends in the world, and tall, dark, handsome.
I don't know if he's grumpy or happy.
He's a little bit of a moody bastard like me.
Proud father, hard worker, and a full house original.
JO, welcome back, brother.
Thank you.
A priest, a minister, and a rabbit go to a blood drive.
And the nurse says to the rabbit, Hey, rabbit, what blood type are you?
And he says, I think I'm a typo.
Many, many weeks, many weeks.
And this is what this is material.
All right.
That's a dad joke right there.
I love that.
Call that.
Yeah.
That's a dad joke.
I've got like a dozen dad jokes in my pocket that I use all the time.
And someone hit me back with that one the other day.
I was like, oh, that one's going on the roster.
We're keeping that bad boy.
Hell yeah.
What's up, brother?
Welcome back.
Where you been?
What's new in your life?
Just the top lines for us, please.
Everything's going well.
Baby boy's good.
He's a little bit upset because his favorite thing in the world is Bruce Buffer.
And the UFC has the backup announcer tonight.
So that totally ruined his night.
But other than that, all is well.
And I think it's as charming as it is disturbing that your boy loves you so much that you have to sort of podcast in absentia so that he doesn't hear your voice and need daddy.
Are you worried that he's a little too attached or quote unquote obsessed with you?
Or is it you're just rolling with it?
He's your little boy.
No, he's he's just my guy.
Like we actually took him to the ocean the other day.
And that's the first time he got to do that since he's been old enough to understand like what's going on around him.
Like we took him to the beach a couple of times when he was an infant, but man, he loved it.
Like he was, he was confused by like the water moving and like the waves coming in.
He's looking at me like, it's like infinity water.
Like how, because he's seen like the pool in the bathtub.
Right.
But that was pretty great.
Did he get sand in his mouth and in his eyes and be like, what the hell is this?
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
They sort of look at it like, what is going on here?
Do I hate this?
Do I love it?
But yeah, little kids at the beach for the first time.
Holy moly.
And it tastes yucky.
Yeah.
And then you find it in their diapers.
Well, your son's not in diapers anymore, but you know what I mean.
Yeah.
Find that surprisingly later on.
Well, welcome.
Welcome back, big guy.
Want to hear a lot from you this week, but not before we introduce a previous guest on this show who is temporarily bivouacking at the Chateau Finstock Holler.
And he is now officially my blood brother, not in a racial sense, but in the sense that he got chicken blood splattered all over his legs today.
He was coming up with an avatar one day and he looked at his desk, saw a bottle of H2O and decided that's it.
Water, welcome back.
Hey, man, thanks.
It's always great to hang out with you, digitally or otherwise.
And look forward to recounting our chicken not so horror story, thankfully.
So it's always great to be here.
Absolutely.
You put the fire on my ass to get it done.
I was dragging my feet and I am sorry that you're not here at the table with me, but just audio-wise, this made the most sense.
Water, before we move on real quick, you talked at length about life on the road.
Basically, you know, you got a lovely camper with you and you're temporarily here.
I think it's safe to say.
How is that?
Have you changed your outlook on it?
You were sort of half positive, half negative on it.
But basically, I think you, it's okay for now, but you want to find that perfect piece of property and put down roots.
I don't want to put words in your mouth, but go ahead.
Yeah, that's a general idea for sure.
I mean, any lifestyle that is sustainable like this is fine with a good woman by your side, which is probably priority number one over a piece of land.
But yeah, I think as long as you find one or the other, a woman who wants to travel or a woman who's rooted somewhere, start a family and do your thing and live your life.
But I mean, stability over anything.
Sure thing.
Hey, you keep putting an elbow grease here on the homestead and you're going to get bumped up to full house eligible bachelor number one.
I probably, I have to, let's just get it out of the way.
We did our first chicken slaughter today.
Long story short, and I will try to keep it short.
We have a lot of hens and regular roosters.
But the last time I went to tractor supply, my father-in-law basically bullied me into getting two of everything.
So we got two Cornish crosses.
Those are meat birds.
The rest of them were egg-laying hens or the roosters to accompany them.
And I have never slaughtered a chicken in my life.
I hadn't watched a chicken slaughter video until about a day ago.
And these suckers were just clearly created in a sort of White American laboratory to create a gigantic meat bird.
And they actually did breed them that way because I guess Americans used to eat a lot of turkey.
And then they were like, no, we need a cheaper bird that's just going to get super fat really fast.
And it was obvious.
They were dumb.
They were not particularly attractive, just jet white.
And all they would do would eat and they got so heavy that they even had trouble walking around.
And as I would send pictures of them over the past couple of weeks to pals, they would say, coach, what are you waiting there for on the meat birds?
We finally did the bit today.
We took one and Water and I watched a couple videos.
We got a gigantic pot because after you dispatch them, you have to scald them in 142 degree water, if I got that right, to get the feathers out more easily.
It wasn't entirely easily.
And then you have to eviscerate them.
But the biggest concern of mine was how to kill them most efficiently with the least amount of pain.
I'll be honest, I was nervous about this, not in principle about killing a living thing.
It wasn't about, oh, my little chicken, boohoo.
It was I didn't want to mess it up.
I didn't want to have a disaster on them.
I have heard horror stories about people who tried to just do the axe to the back of the neck and then you have, you know, decapitate it or that you get a total mess with the blood splattering as it's flapping around.
So Water and I put our heads together and Water, you can correct me as I retell this tale, but I've never killed this.
You know, I'm a total dilettante when it comes to this stuff.
And we just watched some videos.
We got the supplies that we thought we needed, a couple sharp knives, the scalding pot, which I put on top of the, I foolishly filled it with cold water and then I brought it down to the valley, put it on the grill to try to get it to 140, which took forever.
Should have just filled it with hot water to get a quick start.
I didn't want to lug this giant vat of boiling water down to the valley.
And after watching videos of kill cones versus experts just snapping the neck with one twist of the wrist, I said, you know what?
Let's just let's go with the tried and true that way.
I didn't want to put its head on a block and hack it to death and possibly miss or anything like that.
So we got this Cornish cross after sequestering it for a little bit, got the water boiling to the table.
And we had two of the three kids with us as well.
They were willing to observe.
They were there for it.
And water was holding the chicken, but not at first.
We put it up on a table.
I cradled it with my left arm.
And then following what I watched, I grabbed it firmly with my right hand and extended his neck, not pulling it.
I wasn't trying to yank it out, just extended the neck and then gave a quick jerk, Sam, thank you very much, of my wrist to try to snap the neck.
Now, that was the worst part of it because I did not feel a signature, despite my practice over many years, I didn't feel a signature snap.
I didn't feel a signature snap and the head didn't just go limp right away with the eyes closed like I saw on the videos.
I was like, son of a bitch, I didn't properly snap this chicken's neck.
I really, as dumb as it is and as relatively non-sentimental I am about this creature, I absolutely don't want to cause it any more harm than necessary.
So I gave it another one and twisted, you know, I was twisting my shoulder socket up to get more leverage on it and still did not.
Maybe it's because it's Cornish Cross.
Maybe it's because it's so fat, maybe because the neck's so big.
And then that was the point where Water said, get the knife.
Water, take it from there.
I'm tired of talking about this chicken.
But long story short, you picked it up and then we got cut in.
Yeah, after you went for the snap, I mean, he was kind of in limbo because his head was kind of wishy-washy, but he was alert and the eyes were open.
And I think I saw him blinking.
And as soon as you cut him up, I just, I just held him up and he bled out and flapped around and then bled out and flapped around a little less and then bled out and flapped around just slightly.
And all of a sudden we were scalding and then plucking like crazy.
It felt like a really long time doing it for the first time with the kids watching and having the pressure on us.
But it was really like one or certainly two, maybe three attempts to snap the neck to, you know, maybe I severed the spinal cord, but it wasn't completely severed or whatever.
But when we were not 100% sure, Water just held him up by his feet, got the knife, cut the jugular, and then it was clear that it was completely over.
Good God.
It's a cool time to get it.
Yeah, go ahead, Sam, please.
Coach, I just wanted to say, I think I already said it, but I just, you know, for other people listening, using the axe is really, I think, the gold standard because, and, and, and I'm not saying you got to hold it down near the end like you're trying to split logs.
I mean, right.
When we did it, we held it like, you know, like one hand on the end and the other hand a couple inches under the actual axe.
And just, I mean, just a light tap and the head came right off, you know.
So I would say that's really, it might sound gruesome, but I mean, it was my, my youngest son did it.
This is a couple of years ago now.
And he just kind of went up there and he looked like he almost just tapped it and boom, the head came right off.
So I would suggest if anyone's going to do that, at least think about doing it that way.
I totally believe you, Sam.
You can do a butcher knife, but you were talking about kill cones.
So I had a friend whose mom had a ranch when I was in my early 20s.
And we used to like to go out there and do farm chores.
I've told you about the place.
And she just loved having like free labor and us city kids got to go feel like we were doing something real.
And I did a couple of chicken and turkey slaughters with them.
And you mentioned that the kill cones, essentially, just you're grabbing the bird, turning it upside down.
Its head goes through the bottom of this cone.
And then there's a blade attached to it that moves horizontally and just whack.
And you get going like assembly line style where you're killing another chicken every couple seconds.
Yep.
What dissuaded me from that, Jayo, and it seemed the consent, the consensus among the chicken pros in the full house family is that the kill cone is the way to go.
And I will probably get one or make one.
Buddy said that honestly, a milk jug is just as good as those steel ones you can get at Tractor Supply or elsewhere is that I watched the Joel Salatin video where he's doing a chicken processing presentation in like a big revival tent for the whole audience.
He's sticking them in the kill cones and cutting the jugular.
And then on the third one, the thing is still twitching maybe too long after the fact.
And Joel says something like, oh, maybe I messed that one up.
And he's processed thousands of chickens.
So he had to go back and cut its neck again.
That kind of shook me a little bit, like that an old pro like that didn't dispatch him on the first cut on a kill cone.
I guess he went back and thoroughly severed the jug.
You know what?
If you buy one, they come where the blade, it's almost like a the old paper cutters that you had in school.
And the blade that moves horizontally is, you know, the whole thing is engineered so that it's going like flush along that hole.
So you're making one stroke all the way through and decapitating the bird entirely.
Oh, so this is with the blade built into the kill cone.
It's not using a knife by your hand to cut the jugular.
Right.
Okay.
No, it's just decapitating the bird entirely in one stroke.
Yeah.
And then, and that was arguably the easy part.
What I was most worried about too was screwing up the dissection, essentially the getting the viscera out and the rest of it.
And, you know, water was there with me.
We kind of went through it and we were looking in there.
We watched a couple videos to do it, made the slits, the incisions.
It wasn't really clear where that food sack, for lack of a better term, was up at the neck.
Bear with me, audience.
I know some people are like really captivated by this.
Just get a very hard, very sharp knife.
Yes, I do wish that my knives were sharper.
We did sharpen our knives before this.
Wish they were sharper.
And the good news was we made the holes.
We got the guts out.
We didn't bust the gallbladder.
I was like, I see it.
I see the green thing.
It was like, all right, you know, the emerald jewel in there.
And then I was like, oh, crap, I see some like dark fluid in there.
Maybe I got it.
And water was like, if you don't smell it, then I don't think you got it.
So we got all that stuff out.
We even saved the liver and the heart for the dog.
We put the dog away for sure so she didn't get any ideas about chicken slaughter herself.
And then I presented the liver to her from these hands and she wouldn't, she smelled it and she wouldn't even eat it.
So I got a bucket on top.
I got a bucket with, so I got, yeah, we got, I got to bury the chicken remains that the dog won't eat so that she doesn't get any ideas in the future.
And it was too, it was too late to pop it in the oven.
It took us maybe not counting the stupid boiling water process.
It took us maybe an hour, I want to say, from, you know, killing to getting all the feathers out to eviscerating it.
And it's in the fridge right now.
It's a giant bird.
We did the bit.
And as my dad sardonically joked, whoa, looks like you'll last one more day than me when the sky falls.
He was like, chops that humor.
You know, you got, you got one chicken way to go.
But hey, my whole thing has been that we got that under the belt.
We know in theory how to raise meat birds, how to slaughter them and how to prepare them for cooking.
And better to do that sooner rather than later, however you decide to dispatch them and do it.
Water, anything that I missed, water got the blood splatter all over him because he was holding it as I cut the jugular and that it got all over his legs.
But all in all, pretty positive, right, bud?
Yeah, I'm just glad my backup plan of wearing only shorts and flip-flops worked out because I just had to hold that bird as it flapped around and gave me a shower.
Yeah.
And the, you know, we knew that was coming, the flapping.
Potato asked, why does it do that?
And my only honest like response to a kid was it's it's kind of like the electricity isn't working.
It got severed from the from the power plant, which is probably some truth to it.
So anyway, we'll keep you posted.
And another grandparent said, let's see how they do eating chicken next time and whether they're grossed out about it.
But both potato and dear daughter were great about it.
Junior did not want a part of it.
I wasn't going to force him to.
And that's that.
Well, you'll get to where you can get it done in five minutes or less.
Yeah.
Like with a little bit of practice, I would suggest doing a bunch consecutively, like get a dozen and whack them all.
That's what we did when we were doing this.
It was like nothing.
And then you could help yourself too.
They have this kind of a rotating device that it knocks the feathers off of the bird.
You scald them, like you say, and then you put them in there like these rubber fingers and the thing rotates and you put the bird in there and it kind of throws it around like a dryer.
Like the thing that does the centrifugal for bingo.
Yeah.
It knocks the feathers off.
So you really, you know, you get that device and you get a few people working in an assembly line, like Jayo said.
And it's like nothing.
Yeah.
Yep.
Another buddy said, you got to do that right after you scald them.
Otherwise, it's turned like a chicken blender or something.
Something like that.
Spend $100 on a good cess knife.
There's a couple good Japanese brands where for the $100 range, you're going to get an excellent knife and it is necessary.
Yep.
That was, I used the Japanese knife to sort of slice some of those interior tissues to get at the at the goodies.
And the other thing was getting the windpipe and the esophagus out was a little bit tricky.
We were both a little bit dicey about cutting the butt off and, you know, not breaking the sack and all that stuff.
But I think we got through it.
If we get horrible food poisoning and the flies did, that was the other concern was that the flies were going to come swarming as soon as we killed the thing.
I guess we got lucky because it was not a buggy mess out there.
Tomorrow will probably be a different story.
The smoke from the grill.
The smoke from the grill covered it up.
It was right next to it.
Yeah, it might have chased them off.
We, of course, shut it off as soon as the water was ready.
But anyway, JO, you haven't been on in a while and you're a man of much content.
What's at the top of your stack this week, big guy?
Breath.
We breathe in out here.
I know we hinted at it last time I was here, but I had to go.
But I smoked cigarettes for 27 years and I was worried about long-term effect on my lungs.
And I was also at a very stressful time.
And I was looking into meditation and that kind of thing has never really worked for me.
And I'm going through and I see the Wim Hoff breathing method in like the YouTube suggestions.
And I had recalled him having been on Joe Rogan like, I don't know, it was a long time ago, seven years or something.
I'm saying, I gotta, I gotta try something.
Let's give this a shot.
And it changed my life the first time I did it.
It's a guided breathing session.
It's on YouTube.
We can put the link in the notes.
And I still do it every day, sometimes more than once.
Usually I'm doing it with the guided video just because it kind of keeps me disciplined or whatever, but I'll do it without it.
I want to do a little experiment here.
I'm going to give you guys a three count, and I just want everyone to hold their breath for as long as they can.
Okay, it's going to be compelling radio.
I'm going to talk elevator music.
Yeah, roll a pot.
No, I'm going to talk through it because I'm not going to do the breath hold.
All right.
Okay.
Three, two, one.
So everyone just made the same mistake that everybody makes, unless they've been through a little bit of this before.
But what everyone just did was they took in the biggest breath they could to try and gather oxygen.
But the pressure that they put in their chest, they will hold their breath less long than if they had just ceased breathing.
Most people go about 30 seconds.
Some people can go 45.
No one will get a minute.
What, two, three weeks ago, I PR'd and broke eight minutes on a breath hold laying in my bed.
What?
Yeah.
No way.
Wow.
Wait, isn't it like three minutes without oxygen?
So how does that work?
So the breath work itself hyperoxygenates your blood.
And what he does in the guided one in sort of the elementary version in this like 11 minute YouTube video is he takes you through 30 breaths where you breathe in all the way and out to just the regular part.
In all the way, out to just where you would be on a regular exhale.
You're not blowing all the way out.
And as you're doing this, you start to tingle because you're hyperoxygenating and you'll even like feel weird sensations in your body, especially your extremities and your face.
And then he gives you that 30th breath and you exhale to where a normal exhale would go.
And that's when the hold starts.
And your first times doing it, you're like, okay, how's this going to feel?
And then about, I don't know, five seconds in, you start to panic a little bit because you're not used to the sensation of not breathing, but you have no desire to breathe.
You have no need to breathe.
And then over the course of the minute of the first hold, he you can like feel the tingling go away as your body is using up the oxygen that you just stored.
And then at the end of that minute or minute and a half, it increases throughout the video.
It goes three rounds, a minute, a minute and a half, a minute and a half.
Then you take a recovery breath and hold that.
You breathe in all the way and hold that for like 15 seconds.
And that's like being shot out of a cannon.
It's like a psychedelic experience, especially the longer your holds get.
And I'll hold the recovery breath longer than 15 seconds just because it feels so good.
It's like DMT light almost.
Or it's like the first, when the mushrooms first kick in.
And yeah, and the video takes you through three rounds.
But as I got more and more into breath work, so if you take a breath all the way in, there's what's called sipping, which is going to sound like, right where you're like I didn't catch, I didn't catch that Joe, I didn't catch that.
How does it sound?
Sorry sorry, go ahead.
But um, once you get into that and there's other techniques and I won't go way down the rabbit hole right now because it's not interesting without enough context um, but I could have any of you within an hour doing a four minute breath hold okay, first.
First comment is that this sounded like hippie-dippy nonsense when you first pitched this, probably two years ago, and it still does.
I tried it once.
But, more importantly uh, why did you get into this?
And second, why do you keep doing it?
I.e uh, you know okay, so you can hold your breath for a really long time or you can do these exercises.
What's good about it?
Why should people do it so?
Just, physically and psychologically it feels good, like there's just a physical sensation of it, because what I never do is hold to desperation right, like once I start to get uncomfortable, I just take my recovery breath.
Um, like I, I don't torture myself with it.
I have a couple of times when i've tried to set a personal record, but you're just going to traumatize yourself into hating the process if you're forcing the holds um, the idea is that you don't need to breathe.
Not that you can fight the need to breathe um, but in terms of stress, like if you're starting to feel like you're having heart palpitations because you're so stressed out, it acutely and instantly resolves that and it's good for your overall stress levels.
And then over to Mr Producer, you want to get back to sleep?
Do this also works in reverse, if you didn't get enough sleep, you can do this and you'll feel better energized.
Another thing is, you know, starting to get a little bit older and uh, maybe not have as much gas in the tank.
If you get my drift, when you finish 10 15, 20 minutes of breath work and you're right back in there, all right I, I think i'm picking up what you're putting down there.
Uh, I tried it once when you were pitching at JO, and I definitely I got the.
You know I did.
I went to the website and I did the, the timer with the swirlies.
It was a little bit psychedelic.
I was like, all right, i'm going to do this for Joe, and I definitely got the tinglies in my fingers, but I didn't go back to it because I was like this is weird, this is not normal humans.
There's no evolutionary like basis for me doing this to myself, right like our ancestors didn't breathe like this.
Maybe deep seat divers do, but you know, debunk.
Maybe it's a, it's a technique if, if stress reduction is something that that you need to do or want to do, your ancestors didn't lift weights or do push-ups either.
Now here's.
Here's the thing.
That's wild and you are free To not believe me and then get instantly proven wrong, and you'll like being proven wrong.
Get down and do your push-ups to max, particularly if you're not a person who does push-ups every day.
Let's say you bang out 20, and I want you to roll over on your back because I do, you can do this however you want, sitting up, laying down, eyes open, eyes closed.
I always do my breath work, laying down with my eyes closed, and usually with something covering my eyes to make it extra dark.
Um, bang out, you know, your max push-ups, then roll over on your back, do the 30 breaths, uh, and then roll over and just start doing push-ups again without breathing.
And you will do more push-ups than you just did, despite the fact that you just wore yourself out by going to max.
So, if you can drop and do 20 right now, then roll over, do the 30 breaths in all the way out to a regular amount.
And at the end of that 30th one, flip back over, you'll do 30 push-ups.
Rolo, you're as new age as they come.
Does this sound appealing to you, or are you shaking your head like JO is weird?
Uh, well, you know, it is interesting that he said, you know, that would help with my sleeping because usually what I do is I just hold my breath until I fall asleep.
Well, my recovery in between rounds of boxing is better than it was 15 years ago, despite the fact that I'm in my 40s.
I actually bought an O2 trainer some years back, and it was helping me.
I just lost it, so I stopped doing it.
And maybe the most novel outcomes of this, just as like silly asides, is it's a great prank at the pool to just float face down in the water for five minutes.
Um, and in gi jiu-jitsu, a lot of techniques are about covering your face with my gi or yours so that you have to bring your hands up to get air.
Right.
Well, what if I don't need air?
You don't sound mentally retarded yet, JO, but I would think that depriving your brain of oxygen for so long, is there not some aspect of asphyxiation?
You know, is this not like a weird, like, I'm going to deprive myself of oxygen and get this high offense?
No, the mistakes that get made are from people doing it in water.
Um, and I don't suggest that.
Um, but you're not depriving your brain of oxygen unless you're going to desperation, which only buys you maybe 10 or 15 seconds anyway.
Like the amount of oxygen that's in my blood when I do a four-minute breath hold is enough oxygen for four minutes.
Gotcha.
Because I just, because if I'm doing a super long hold like that, I'm not just doing 30 breaths.
Like 30 breaths will get me, you know, two minutes.
But if I do 100 breaths, now we're talking four, five, six, and then I introduced some other techniques and I went straight from 630 to 801.
Wow.
Wim Hoff, W-I-M-H-O-F, if I recall correctly.
Yeah, he's a Dutchman who preaches breath work and cold exposure, like ice bath, cold shower.
He developed the technique because his wife was schizophrenic and killed herself.
And he was trying to find some sort of like natural way to improve mental health.
Now, did you not get into the ice baths and super cold showers too?
Cold shower every day.
Straight cold.
Cold shower every day.
Yep.
The whole time.
Yeah.
If I take a second shower because I worked out, i'll take a hot one, because cold just isn't good at getting soap off of you.
But yeah, and when it's time for ice bath which I don't do all the time, but go to the store, buy several bags of ice and uh, let it get down to about 40, jump in there five minutes, round three.
Uh, Alexander Bolkanovsky versus Brian Ortega.
Bolk survives two gnarly ass chokes and i'm just sitting there telling myself if he can survive that, I can survive this.
All right more, more power to you, buddy.
Yeah, I don't.
Oh man i'm, i'm skeptical of all claims like this stuff, and possibly it's because i'm a pussy or I just I don't want, I don't.
Yeah no, I know, like I was like oh, I don't want to hold my breath for that long.
And no, cold showers suck like.
There's probably a reason I don't like those.
Yeah, like is this doesn't feel good.
Yeah, the ss were only allowed cold showers.
The ss were you would be punished for getting caught taking a warm shower.
Brutal yeah guy, all right sam, you get.
You gonna uh, try it.
Or are you uh calling bs on Jo here, or have you?
No no, certainly not.
Uh, i'm not calling bs on him.
Uh, I would be interested to watch that video.
Uh, it's a type of thing that um, you know it's it's.
You got to feel the need for it probably, right.
So you had, Jo had motivation to try this and it has helped him.
Maybe you going into it as doing it just to try it doesn't have the same motivation or the same need for it and maybe the different, little different result because of that.
But uh, sounds interesting.
I've heard about the cold showers, cold baths and things like that.
Uh, improves your testosterone or something like that.
Sam's gonna do Wim Hoff and then he's not going to breathe during marathon sex sessions.
Uh right, why is your face blue?
Hey, he just carries out.
That's so, sam.
Yeah, we all.
That's funny.
But i'm telling you you can recover to go again in 10 to 20 minutes.
Wow, that's.
I mean that.
That part right there i'm interested in.
We all have our life hacks, right?
You know, from back back in the day we used to talk about you know, if you've never gone no fap, that's a revelation if you've never taken zinc and magnesium, or uh, was it calcium citrate, sam?
Was your?
Zinc citrate is a works like a charm yeah, and is that the state?
Is that the same thing?
Uh, essentially uh.
One of the audience members was like I, I got to get in touch with Sam about zinc citrate, but uh, same thing.
Like good good, good dreams and like uh, big loads and stuff.
Yes yeah, exactly.
Well, you just feel it like it's.
You know the way I explain it, when you get older, sometimes things kind of slow down or there's not as much.
Uh uh, you know lubrication to it or whatever it is but, but this definitely restores it, you know.
All right, we all, we all got our life hacks.
Uh try, try them out.
Audience ad hoc, as you see fit.
I'd like to hear if you, if you train fighting like, at least do the breath work in between rounds and tell me if it doesn't work, taking huge breaths all the way in out to a regular amount for the 60 seconds in between rounds and tell me your performance isn't instantly improved.
Gauntlet thrown down, uh.
Water has many life hacks uh, which include traveling around the United States at various times of the year.
He's got he's mobile, he's mobile home.
He he, uh sort of jokes that he's homeless, but he has a very lovely home that's on Wheels water uh, your favorite place that you have settled down so far, and where are you?
Where's your ideal place to settle down after all your travels?
It's got to be the Rockies man.
The outdoor culture is just untouchable.
Anywhere from northern New Mexico up to western Montana and into Idaho is just unreal compared to everywhere else.
I've heard that as well, that you know.
We poor, lowly Appalachian advocates just just don't get it about the land out there is.
I mean.
So if you're not an avid outdoorsman, are there other attributes to it aside from you know, wonderful hiking fishing hunting, natural beauty, those big skies, or because did you?
Did you like the people and the feeling of those places?
Or was it just about the natural beauty?
Well, that's a small bump there, but it's mostly about the natural beauty and the outdoor culture because, especially after running around your neck of the woods just greater Appalachia i've had some more meaningful conversations with people just walking around Walmart and in the gas station than most of my entire life, and that's really not exaggerating.
People seem to really be genuine and care just in terms of being just a caring of their fellow man and and not just trying to be nice just to be nice, because that's what you do.
It's really nice and they're better looking in that part of the country because the obesity is so much lower.
Well uh, Water was talking about people in Appalachia, in my neck of the woods, being more genuine and friendly, I believe.
Is it right, buddy?
Yeah, that's right.
I mean people are way skinnier up in the rockies and stuff, because people go there to do outdoor stuff and be active and it's their lifestyle.
But I don't know, all there is to do is escapism and eat and drink too much.
See yeah I, i've been, you know, pitching the wonderful attributes of this area for a long time and that was one of the first things that I noticed was just going, you know, just going to a grocery store or a Walmart, if you must, and checking out the demographics and the just the personality of the people or whatever.
I was so shocked to see friendly white faces like smile and, you know, make small talk with the kids.
Of course, Jayo was with us when we walked into a warm Walmart near our place and he was like everybody was white and the one black guy was like shucking and jiving down the aisle, you know, doing the standard stuff.
Uh, now the demographics jo, have changed since you were first here.
Big guy, When we go into that same Walmart now, it is not nearly as lily white.
So the winds they are changing or the times they are changing here.
Yep.
In just the span of three or four or five years, it's noticeable.
So Water, you're just what do you what do you mean by people are more genuine or friendlier here?
Give me an example or add some context for move to Appalachia or West Virginia, bros.
How to say it.
You know, when you meet somebody at a, just in passing in a store, you can make a little joke about the produce or whatever, and you keep going.
But here it goes naturally for a few lines.
It's not something you're forced.
It's just a friendly person next to you talking about the thing that you're both into at the time, whether it's I talked to a guy about the fishing stuff in Walmart a few weeks ago.
And just all of a sudden I learned about work history and how he got an injury on the job and how his kid smells the bait for him because he lost it on the work injury and he can't smell.
And it was a really nice thing.
It wasn't forced that we were two dudes talking about fishing and life.
Yeah.
And they're not phony, nice, like, oh, yeah, we're best friends or whatever.
It can be a little bit laconic or, I don't know, somehow dry, but still warm at the same time.
I've noticed it.
Well, sort of like a no BS ethos, but still willing to be friendly or whatever.
You know, just we're all.
There's no ulterior motive there.
They're not trying to get anything from you.
Yep.
Go ahead, Sam.
I can recall when I was a kid and we would go to this very rural area where my family had a little house.
And in that community, you would just walk down the street and people would say hello to you.
And like Water was saying there, you strike up conversation very easily in a grocery store or in the park or just anywhere.
But later, as I thought about it, this is like this shows a certain unity of the community that's there because in a way, that's like a test.
If I say hello to you and do you respond back, how do you respond back?
You know, I think it's kind of like a natural mechanism for a community to kind of test people, especially people that are obviously from outside the community.
Yeah.
If you're familiar with New York City or cold sterile suburbs, the exact opposite.
Right.
Because they've lost any sense of community.
I was telling someone at work the other day about how in my neighborhood growing up, and like my neighborhood is 100% different from when I grew up.
If you were having a cookout in a park, this didn't apply to like if you had the girl going in the backyard or whatever.
But if you were having a cookout in the park, it was just assumed that any kid who showed up got to eat.
So if there's like, you know, four nine-year-olds riding by on their bicycles, they're like entitled to a hot dog.
And that's just part of it.
And I don't think that kind of stuff exists anymore.
Certainly not heard of neighborhoods.
Even, yeah, the best case, the parents would be like, oh, I'm worried about the liability of being responsible for this kid, even if they were willing to take some stranger kid, you know, sure.
Come on, hang out, play with us, you know, have a hot dog.
And I don't think it's about the ruralness of the community necessarily, because when we would go deeper into the city where my grandparents lived, it was very urban.
But when they would have a neighborhood festival or a neighborhood block party or something, it was that same type of thing.
Everybody knew each other.
Everybody could go to somebody's yard or house and eat or whatever it is.
And that's because they had a sense of community.
Now we don't even know our neighbors, you know, and we don't want to know our neighbors.
Well, here's a cool story.
When I first moved to Philly, the Phillies were in the World Series.
And a lot of the neighborhood was still the old Italians with the X and whatever.
But it was also like a lot of young people and hipsters and a lot of Latinos and a lot of Vietnamese or whatever.
But for the Phillies games in the entire postseason, these two Italian brothers that lived next door to each other, they were also the sponsors.
for the local Little Ing.
So they would go over to the baseball field in the neighborhood and get a bunch of dudes together and bring the bleachers and then set them in the road where cars would usually park.
And there'd be no parking for about four spaces worth because there's all the bleachers there.
They put two big screen TVs outside on the front walls of their house and then they put out a bunch of eight foot tables and the whole neighborhood had a potluck.
They put out a bunch of food and anyone who was going to come and hang out and watch the game and expect to eat was expected to throw them some money or bring some.
If you brought a case of beer, you got a gallon thing, a potato salad from the grocery store, you're going to bring a couple bags of hot dog, a couple packs of hot dogs, whatever.
And that was in South Philly.
Like there was nothing rural about that.
Like, I don't know that these people had ever seen a tree before.
The old block party.
Yep.
Water, one more question for you, Ramblin' Man, is that you are a devout Christian.
And on your travels, you make it a habit of I would say popping in, not casually, but visiting other churches in the areas that you're visiting to try to try to find one that is right or to find one that you like or one that you just enjoy spiritually.
I guess, have you have you found one that you really liked yet?
I know you visited a couple around here that haven't quite hit the spot, but a little bit about your church travels, if you would, buddy.
Yeah, nothing around here yet.
I plan on visiting a few more.
We're equidistant between a few little population centers, so it's pretty normal.
But generally, I just G map search church and then crawl around for the thing that looks the best and check it out.
You've got nothing really to lose.
That's what I've done pretty much the last, I don't know, three or four years.
And I just go until I find something that's pretty comfortable with people that have a decent head on their shoulders.
And I don't look for our guy stuff, of course, because that's just not what you go there for.
But as long as they're pretty much just the book in context, we're good to go.
And that's, that's the main search.
What's the best one you've been to and why was it that way?
And what's the worst one you've been to?
And why was it the worst?
It's really hard to say because none of them really stick out as the best.
They're pretty much just going to be good enough because we're in America and it's just, it's a crab shoot, man.
It's like the dating market.
You just hope for something that feels the need.
One in Montana stuck out pretty good.
I ended up going there pretty early and stayed for the entire time I was there for almost a year.
And then there's a cowboy church in Colorado I went to for, I don't know, six months or so.
It was okay.
It was a big plus that it was in walking distance.
Some of the worst, though, are just like you walk in and there's an Israel flag and they worship Jews more than God.
So it's okay.
We're out of here.
And just be nice and leave.
And you just keep searching until you find people who just preach the book in context.
That's the main thing.
Do you sit through the one service if they've got red flags?
Yeah, just give everybody back or when you turn around and leave.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm way too white just to get up and walk away.
Say, no, Jews, I'm out of here.
Sorry.
Have you witnessed any pod sermons or is it just some of them are more scriptural and some are, you know, social justice leaning?
Actually, I did.
I went into one and it was a mistake I knew from the get-go because it was in a like a rented place in a strip mall type place.
I walked in there and there were the usual lefty homos outside, but without overtly signaling just the way they acted.
And there's some kind of guest speaker in there who's talking about toward the end of it, like, yes, that's why we'll say Black Lives Matter and Asian Lives Matter or some gay stuff like that.
I just looked at him the whole time.
And I was texting one of our guys in Pittsburgh because it was somewhere near there, I believe.
It was somewhere in Pennsylvania.
And the whole time, every time he made a point, I was just wretching in text as much as I could.
You think that the left and the radical homos, tranny boosters, diversity Uber Alis people would have just skipped over churches and Christianity as something like, okay, like we could just do our stuff elsewhere.
Why in the world would we get involved with Christianity or churches and stuff like that?
But no, it's not the case.
They like, they like jumped in there and they're like, no, we can work with this.
And that's not me being caddy and saying, of course, they thought that because it's Christianity.
But it's just shocking to me that they would be like, oh, no, like a nice, you know, white chapel church with a cross on it.
Let's go subvert that and make that do gay propaganda as well.
I can't wrap my head around it.
Evil doesn't really create anything.
It just corrupts what's already there.
Well, why wouldn't they want to get into that?
That's where all their enemies are.
It's like the Abraham Lincoln thing.
Like, if I have not made my enemy like me, have I not destroyed my enemy?
I guess just because as a church, you know, it'd be like me like going into the synagogue to try to preach white identity, right?
Like, I would never think of do that.
Maybe others.
Yeah, but Jews know not to do that where churches are nice people.
And then if someone's like, look, don't Black Lives Matter?
They go, yeah, yeah, they do.
That's a nice sentiment.
And that's how it starts.
I saw you just subvert from there.
I saw someone today talking about, you know, it was like, okay, well, if you're going to say, you know, the trans and the rainbow or whatever should just leave the kids alone, what do you make of like pedophile pastors and priests and all of that?
And a woman said, like, the reason we were targeted by those people is because we're nice and we try and let everybody in.
And people saw it as a way to get access to children and a way to like earn trust or whatever.
And that's how we ended up with all of them.
And it's basically no different than like the tranny groomers.
Because like, if you want to be a groomer, hey, a church youth group might be a good target for you if you're trying to like find kids without like working at a school.
But why would you think that they wouldn't want to go to a church?
Like that, that is just a bunch of white people that oppose everything you stand for.
That's in fact, that's like the only place where you're going to go.
That's that's what you need to support.
That's a prime target.
That, yeah, like thinking that that you like they wouldn't go there is like not identifying Jews as a problem.
That's like saying like, don't why like, why would we talk about Jews?
Like Jews, Jews, what are they just 2% of the population?
Well, many churches are many churches are struggling and they're easy to overwhelm.
And they're struggling for priests or ministers or whatever it is.
And I think that the homos just see an opportunity, really.
And there's probably sorry.
And there's probably too many nice people there afraid to offend or move down the interstate one exit.
They're like, okay, well, we don't like this.
I'm not passing judgment at all.
It's just, it's like the devil going to heaven and saying like, hey, I'm here.
You know, now we're going to start doing this stuff.
It's just incredible to me, honestly.
There's an infrastructure, right?
There's a building and there's councils or there's an interaction with other organizations or other things of that denomination.
You know what I mean?
There's a there's an infrastructure that they're able to take over.
It would be the same thing if we could take over.
You know what I mean?
And take over the church.
Yeah.
If you can get 10 homos to show up and actually tithe, they're 10% and they're all like dual income, no kids.
So, you know, your struggling church that just took in 10 of these people who got together and decided that they were going to come to your church to push their agenda, but they're also, you know, they're all throwing in 300 bucks a week.
And so it's three grand between all of them, which equals the tithes of your other 60 people total.
And before you're going to start offering services and they don't need any services because they don't have kids.
So.
Yeah.
And of course, we've heard so many times that churches are churches, congregations are absolutely eager and excited for young people to join.
I've heard this from tons of guys when they when they show up unannounced.
And I've frankly done this myself, despite not being entirely faithful.
Like everybody's like, oh, hi, who are you?
You know, nice to meet you.
Welcome.
We want you here because a lot of these are old churches with old congregations.
Yeah.
Frankly, just struggling.
Seeing seeing a young face shows up makes them happy and makes them want to welcome them without suspecting that some of those people may have ulterior motives.
This also reminds me, Jo, I got to ask you about this one.
It blew my socks off.
I don't know if you saw it, but there was a BBC article about a former identity Europa member who independently signed up for an MDMA clinical trial, ecstasy for we 90 and early 2000s kids.
And then he said, oh, yeah, after I took ecstasy, then I was no longer racist anymore, which kind of it was, we know who he is, Sam says.
And I, candid conversation, have experienced that before many, many years ago.
And it brought to mind the idea of if Jo and I were perhaps to dabble in the old ways, aside from the first question being like, hey, hey, Jo, is it kicking in yet?
You know, is it working?
I don't know, Coach, not sure yet.
And then, hey, hey, Jo, do you, do you love Jews and black people yet?
And you're like, I don't think so, Coach.
But they tried to make it out as if like this guy took MDMA and then he was no longer a white supremacist when it was very clear that this dude was already off the reservation and had, you know, he could make a name for himself by talking about his experience on MDMA.
Kumbaya, of course.
Well, while I'm on it, like, and it's 20 years or whatever, but.
And we're not joking here, audience, too.
Like, yeah, we have histories and backgrounds.
Like, I haven't touched anything illicit in probably, it's close to two decades now, but go ahead, big guy.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's been about 20 years since I've messed with any of that.
But while I'm on it, I would bet I would feel that way.
Like, especially if there were other people present or whatever.
I'm just incapable of like a negative thought on that substance.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
Well, and you can combine that with the breathing exercises, and then you probably really got something.
All right.
Yeah.
The new full house challenge, uh, clinical MDMA study, breathing exercises, ice cold showers, zinc citrate.
No fat.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And then, of course, the ultimate challenge is no felt, no fap, no alk, no nick, and no nap.
If anybody in the anybody in the audience can survive that for 90 days.
That's just raw dog values.
I posited that in the chat once and somebody just said, delete that, coach.
And that just shows you how unnatural it is not to hate things and hate people when you have to take drugs.
Exactly.
Get into that state.
You know, hate is just the other side of love.
You know, if somebody was a sports ball fan, you know, when their team comes on the field, they cheer.
And then when the other team comes on the field, they boo.
And it's, yeah, right.
You know, there's not, there's no loving of good without hating of evil.
So this is threat identification.
That's all it is.
It's threat identification and being on your guard for the threat.
That's and Sam nailed it too.
Imagine watching sports ball and MDMA.
You'd probably be like, man, I really wish there were a way that both of these teams exactly.
Fair enough.
And they just all shake hands at the end, isn't that?
Yeah, that's the best.
That's the best part of the game.
That's the worst part of the game.
You gotta, you gotta, well, it's the best part.
Yeah, you got a winner and you got a loser.
That's life.
Cutthroat and make it count.
All right.
I told you guys that this was going to be a slightly unconventional full house.
We are at an hour.
Let's take a break.
And Jo, I'm putting you on the spot, man.
I think the last time you picked the music, it was Dragon Ball Z.
And, you know, I could go to like a million songs right now and pick them.
No, the last time I did the Say Geronimo one, the time before that.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Fair enough.
And today Dragon Force.
Yeah, I remember that.
Yeah.
Today, we're going with Lorna Shore to the Hellfire.
What kind of music is it?
Just listen.
All right.
I have never heard this before.
We're going out on a limb.
Lorna Shore to the Hellfire.
If I really hate it on the break, maybe you'll hear some docking or something as Water and I were enjoying by the campfire the other night while fixing the grill.
And Water, that reminds me, you now have about T minus 60 minutes to think of the closing music.
We'll be right back, fam.
to full house episode 162 still flying casual with negligible chicken scratch notes in pencil on a piece of office copy paper I grabbed about 10 minutes before the show.
But hey, guys, you know, sometimes work and kids and life and slaughtering chickens takes precedence.
And I am still recovering from the vigorous debate we had during the break over 90s rappers.
You wouldn't believe the things that white nationalists are talking about when the microphone isn't recording.
Actually, you probably would because we can talk about normal cultural things like grown men.
And yes, I'm a little bit partial to Tupac talents versus biggies.
JO, Water, Rolo, and Sam are back with us.
I hope you enjoyed that jam from DJ Jo Lorna Shure.
When I heard that, I thought of Diana Shure, or perhaps Paulie Shore.
So, you know, JO's D Jo's de-radicalization.
Yeah, the guitarist who's also the songwriter, as I understand it, that's where he's from, is a place called Lorna Shore or a place that he lived at when he grew up or something.
Okay, but yeah, pig squeals.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Yeah, it was Zavi stuff for sure.
All right, new white life.
Before we get too far along, I got one of the best messages in my inbox from we'll call him October and he wrote in six months ago.
I'm gonna guess I didn't go to the timestamp about you know being a new uncle.
And I think we read it on air and we busted his chops, like, no, we don't care that you're an uncle now and that you have a new niece or nephew.
like, come on, let's get it going there, big guy.
Well, what do you know?
Octo sent me not just a expecting new white life announcement, but the glorious photos of his wedding with a woman who is even more beautiful than he is handsome.
And they're expecting their first, I don't know, at some point later this year or next year.
So congratulations, Octo.
Also, to our good pal, I'll just call him G, really, you know, he got started probably around the same time that a lot of us did, maybe late 20s, early 30s.
And I'm pretty sure that this one marks Irish triplets, not Irish twins.
They're just boom, boom, boom.
Yeah.
It's getting after it.
Man.
Seriously, bless G's wife, bless G himself.
And so far, so good from what we know.
It's so at least two brand new new white lives this week that I'm proud to announce.
And Sam, Jo Rolo, I know Jo's like, well, maybe when the time gets right.
Rolo and Water are eagerly, eagerly anticipating their first.
And Sam has like 10 friends who are expecting new children soon.
We're tracking four right now.
We're tracking four.
The part of my job that I missed the most was every single pregnancy announcement, birth announcement, or marriage announcement, I would find a way to get in touch with that guy and get in touch with him personally.
And it's like a lot of work or whatever.
But being able to talk to people that are that happy all the time isn't actually work.
Like if it was just dropping them an audio or calling them, whatever it was, like just getting to talk to people who are over the moon, like 10 times a week.
It's inspiring.
Yeah.
I had a chance to spend extended time with, we'll just call him a blue collar middle American normal white guy this past week.
And he, he and I were both in complete agreement on the argument that we wish that we started earlier and that we wish that we could have one or two more because we couldn't imagine life without them.
And I'll speak for myself that sometimes I get a little bit jaded, like, okay, yeah, you're having a new baby.
Good for you.
That's real candor coming out just because we get a lot of those things.
And it's hard to stay excited about the same thing over and over again.
And then you sort of stop, smack yourself about the face and you remember your own experiences, whether it's number one, whether it's number three, five, seven, 19, it doesn't matter.
It's one of the greatest expectations of all, Charles Dickens be damned, and one of the greatest arrivals of all, even when things go south.
That's what it is about above all ideology and friends and all the rest of it is adding to your bloodline and treating your kids well and doing better by them than perhaps you maybe had.
Go ahead, Sam.
No, no one ever says, oh, I wish I had fewer kids or something like that, or somebody with a lot of brothers and sisters.
No one ever says, I wish I had less brothers and sisters.
You know, it is difficult.
And if you know people with young children or yourselves when the children were even younger, there are some moments there that will test you to the bottom of your soul.
But those times don't last.
Whatever difficult times you are having, those times don't last.
And in what will seem like a very short amount of time, you'll be looking back somewhat ruefully, you know.
Yep, looking back to those times, even though they were hard, you will look back and in a sense, wish you could go back to that time.
All the time when my son is doing something I don't like, and this happens several times a day, he's just being too loud.
I can't get him to calm down, whatever it is.
And I always tell myself, in 10 years, I'm going to miss this so bad.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe way less than 10 years, even.
Yeah.
It's 12 o'clock here in the Mountain Mama.
Happy Father's Day, lads.
JO and Sam.
Well, well, Jo.
I wish you many more.
And Sam, you know, Sam always leaves the door open.
You know, absolutely.
Real quick anecdote because I want to do the bit, but I work with a dude who's one of eight, white.
And his parents are like atheist, like mainstream liberals, like Hillary supporter types.
And they're furious because all of their kids are Republicans.
Yeah, that's good.
Jo, before we go to Sam Stack, I don't know if I phrase this as directly the last time you were on, but are you de-radicalized?
I know that you were sour on the movement and you've got well-deserved, you know, chips on your shoulder, but are you still pro-white and anti-Jewish power?
I assume you are, but I want to ask specifically, are you less racist?
Are you less anti-Semitic than you were before?
Or is it just the prospects of the quote-unquote movement that have soured you?
Sorry to put you on the spot.
Shock question.
So what would this be?
Today's Saturday.
So two weeks ago, I had a very bad day.
I'm not going to go into any detail on that, but it'll be two weeks ago tomorrow.
And I said, you know, I've been.
He took MDMA and then he said, you know what?
No, I'm not racist.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
No, but I said, you know what?
I owe myself some me time.
I'm under a ton of stress.
Things aren't really going my way right now.
So I just need to do something that makes me feel good.
So I watched the greatest story never told in its entirety.
Thank you.
And it still hit.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Enough of the drug metaphors, coach.
Oh, yeah.
It didn't hit like it used to.
No, fair enough.
Yeah.
So you're so there, therefore, you're pro-Jewish or anti-Jewish based on that answer.
No, it's not about pro or anti, just I am.
Okay.
Ah, I see.
Yeah, I'm capital J out here now.
I converted.
Okay.
Sammy.
My politics haven't changed.
The exo kids still, like, I'm still out here.
I'm just not involved anymore.
Like my personal beliefs, like I've probably like had some small shifts on some stuff.
Like trying to think of an example.
And I don't know if this is before or after I sort of moved out of public, but like, I don't know, there's a silly example.
Like the case was made to me to not eat certain animals because they're like smart or conscious or whatever.
And I kind of take some of that stuff seriously now.
Nothing with identity politics has changed for me.
Like maybe other little things have shifted, but nothing, nothing major.
It certainly wasn't Cornish crosses that someone was trying to tell you was too intelligent or unfeeling.
Just slaughter.
Don't eat octopus.
Right.
Yeah, look at that.
That's a big old brain there.
Yeah.
No, it's all pencils.
They're intelligent creatures.
And I don't know that I believe this 100%, but I think it's plausible that they're aliens.
And we should be respectful.
All right.
No more calamari for you, Fam.
Yeah, it's like mother brain under the sea, real Metroid reference.
Rolo getting excited.
Maybe JO too.
Sam, let's go to you.
You got a stack.
Give it to us.
Hard and, you know, asphyxiated as JO would like it.
Well, before we get too far away from all of the white life's white life birth there announcements, I thought I'd segue to the our friend Mike, you know, our friend Mike with the kidney transplant.
He got out of the hospital, which was like getting out of prison for him.
I don't think you know him.
He's he's he's got to be a friend of ours over these last few years.
We've gotten closer with him.
And he just quick recap for JO or for any listeners that didn't hear it.
One day I was talking with Mike and he said he's been on dialysis for eight years.
He's not urinated in eight years.
He goes every other day for dialysis.
And I won't go into any more to say than that, but when he travels, let's just put it that way.
And he went on a trip overseas.
He had to line that up over there every other day or you're not going to live.
So we were just chatting.
He says, hey, would you mind put it out there on the show?
You never know.
Somebody may know of a program.
I mean, it's hard to look somebody in the eye and say, hey, can I have your kidney?
But you never know.
Put it out there.
It's somebody may want to do that or know of a different program because he's been on a program to get a kidney transplant for many years.
But of course, every nigger gets one before he does.
So I said, sure, yeah, definitely.
So we said that on the air.
And lo and behold, this very fine young man stepped forward and offered his kidney.
I couldn't believe it, J.O. I thought it was the most pie in the sky, like, you know, vanity project.
Like, hey, please, does anybody have a kidney they can spare?
And it's a scare listener.
Yeah, you should see the letters.
It was really good.
And so I went back and forth with him a little bit just to see if he was legit and feel him out a little bit.
Seemed like he was legit.
So I put him in touch with Mike.
I said, hey, you know, you guys work it out and see where this thing's going to go.
So they went through the testing.
Everything was go.
They had to, you know, they hit little speed bumps because, of course, they want you to be COVID vaccinated and all kinds of little ins and outs, but it was all working out.
And then when he started working with his program, he said, okay, I got a donor now.
So let's go.
And it got revealed like, oh, it looks like you've been put on some kind of inactive status.
So who knows how many years he might have been, you know, treading water with this thing.
So then the program he was in kind of said, oh, well, let's see.
Wait a minute.
Oh, lo and behold, we have a kidney for you here.
And so our guy that volunteered did not have to actually give up his kidney.
Wow.
which was really great but you know everyone got to be friends throughout all this and uh back when i was uh some weeks ago i was down south i went and met this young guy just because he happened to be in the area finest young man you could possibly imagine he wrote some very heartfelt letters to coach and he considered it the least he could do was to give up his kidney for him getting on the right track with uh national socialist philosophy and turning his life around by being hooked up with the right people.
It was, you know, it was quite an amazing chain of events.
So Mike goes and he gets his kidney transplant.
And it was an ordeal because he is not really a well person throughout all these years and went went through some real gut-wrenching times, a lot of times where he was in anguish and he had some ups and downs through the, you know, when you're in a hospital getting that kind of care, you pick up an infection, then they got to treat you for that.
And then they put you in rehab.
Oh, no, now we got to send you back there because you got this.
You know, it was probably all in all about eight or nine weeks of this that he went through.
And eventually he was taking visitors.
A bunch of our guys went and visited him here and there.
And it all just kind of worked out.
But even up until this last few days, it was really rough.
You see some of his emails.
I've passed along emails into the chat or into the channel, I should say, rather.
And, you know, he went through some tough times.
But anyways, he finally got sent home.
And though he is home, he is anyways having recovery and he's dizzy and going through other little things, but he's out anyway.
So an amazing story from front to back.
All the parts of it were amazing.
And he's a great guy.
He's got a good slew of kids himself, by the way, that are all adults, of course, by now.
But we hope to get him on the show and our friend that was part of this story.
And so we can hear about it.
And no doubt some listener is going through something or facing something.
And it always helps when you hear somebody else went through something tough and people can take lesson from it or strength from it or whatever.
So, yeah, quite a story.
But so I did want to give the update to everybody who's listening.
I know everybody was praying for him.
And he's a great dude.
And hopefully we can convince him to come on the show and tell a story.
Well, I'll say this.
It's my understanding.
I know a dude that donated a kidney and he told me that he did the research and that donating a kidney does not reduce life expectancy.
Right.
So if that's your hesitancy, you know, especially if it's someone close to you.
Like I'm not asking everybody to like volunteer to help out a stranger that they heard about on a podcast.
But if you're ever hesitant, because it's, you know, maybe just a buddy, but you're not willing to risk your life for them.
I guess it doesn't reduce life expectancy.
Well, and part of the reason why I kind of made a big deal to make sure we told the story on the show and everything is I want everyone to look at their life, look at themselves in the mirror and say, what kind of extreme thing am I willing to do for this movement?
I'm not saying something violent or crazy.
I'm just saying what kind of donating a kidney.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you might say, somebody else might say, oh, do something extreme.
No, I'm saying, you know, what kind of, what kind of commitment do you have to these politics?
That's this guy has just set the bar pretty high.
Yeah.
So I hope that that will inspire people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a really, it's a good story.
And so so far, it's going the right way after quite a few weeks, but going a good way.
Incredible.
Um, we have.
Oh, go ahead sam no, please.
I I thought you I would, just I would go.
I was just going to segue into something else, but go ahead and with your what you're.
No no, go for it I.
I was gonna add a lot.
Well, all right real, real quick.
I wanted to add this for the audience because, because we're kind of walking a tightrope here about like radicalization and like living a good life and doing things for the, for the cause, but also you have to uh, you know, do your own thing.
Uh, there was, there was a debate about the holocaust that happened on the internet today and a bunch of guys were talking about that and like it was going on while Water and I were slaughtering the chicken, and I had a moment of epiphany at the time and, believe me, like slaughtering a chicken is not a big deal.
It is for me because I hadn't done it before and, like i've said, i'm a dilettante at this home, setting stuff and things like that and I was like well, am I happier that I was doing a new thing that could potentially be useful for the rest of my life, or do I regret not seeing that debate live on the internet and chiming in or talking about and that there's no, there's no judgment to the guys who watch that, or you know, you know what I mean.
Like uh, I just had one of those things believe don't don't, don't, get me wrong audience.
I'm not saying like, check out and just like farm potatoes and stuff like that, but water.
And I had a moment where I was like well, i'm sure as hell glad that my buddy got, you know, blood splattered on his legs and I got to practice my craft at that instead of being on youtube.
That's my point.
I thought you were going to merge the two things.
Like we killed this chicken, maybe we can do the holocaust too.
No well, I was going to add that Water strangely started swinging the chicken over his head.
I found it very, very odd, but I didn't.
I don't ask questions, you know, go ahead.
Go ahead, Sam.
I just I just wanted yeah, I was going to mention, you know we're we're uh, you're you.
You are in father's day already we're, we are not quite there yet and um, you know, it's a, it's a good day it's, it's um.
The meaning behind it is good, and I have already racked up a uh, bottle of Buchanan's 12-year-old scotch.
I don't know if you've uh okay, Jo knows uh, you know, I watched this show.
I've i've always liked scotch, but i've.
I guess I wasn't very sophisticated, but I watched a show and they were talking about, you know, the 10 year old, 12 year old 18, 20 year old, and there's 50 year old scotch out there that you can get and the guy was saying, 12, 12 years is all you need.
Those other things yeah yeah, that's the it's, it's the those other things.
They're expensive simply because it's supply and demand.
There's not too many bottles of 50 year old whiskey out there.
Well, you're 12 for space over time right, because that cast had to sit there for all that time somewhere, pay the property taxes and the rent.
So he said, you know, get yourself a good bottle of 12 year old scotch and you will be happy.
And and uh, so i've kind of kind of took that uh under advisement over the these last few months and i've really enjoyed uh having having a bottle of that around.
So somebody bought that for me, which I really appreciate.
And I mentioned before about the Babylon B t-shirt I'm wearing that says dad and it has some funny stuff on it.
And I also got a, I was in the liquor store and they have the basket of the dollar a can or dollar a bottle because these are six packs that were broken open or whatever it was.
Now I always look in there just to see if there's anything interesting.
And I saw these cans of this hard seltzer called Happy Dad.
And I thought, well, I got to have a can of Happy Dad hard seltzer.
Yeah, that is sold.
That is sold by a group of guys called the Nelk Boys.
They are Trump supporting, like hard charging.
Yeah, they're Canadian, actually.
They love Trump and they're like right-wing guys.
And they like make it okay for like fat boys to like Trump.
Like that's kind of their lane.
Like they have a deal with the UFC.
Oh, wow.
How about that?
I did not know that.
Yeah.
Well, there are some things.
The other one I got into recently was Beck's beer.
And not that I thought it was so great or anything, but I saw their ad campaign.
It was Faith and Tradition.
It's a German beer, right?
Yeah.
Well, it's made in America.
Yeah.
Beck's dark.
That's good stuff.
Well, what I like about it, it was $4.99 for four tall boys.
Let's go.
You know, I like the tall boys because you have to open the container, you know, less often because there's more there.
But Jay was drinking Miller Light tall boys when I knew him IRL back in the day.
Yeah.
I was like, all right, yeah.
Well, there's something going on there.
In this day and age we have with this Bud Light garbage and all that, I just thought I'd like that ad campaign.
They were running Faith and Tradition.
I said, I think I'm going to buy me some Becks.
I think the real story here, Sam, is that Father's Day mission creep has totally seeped into your household.
And it's not just Father's Day anymore, but it's Father's Day weekend.
You're getting presents on Saturday and Friday.
Yeah.
And every year, my wife asks me like, so what would you like for Father?
She asked it sincerely, like, you know, is there something that you need or that you want?
And my stock answer is like, I would like a good nap and some lobster.
And to what most people would say, oh, a good nap.
So a day that ends in Y for me, as Water knows, Grandpa needs his midday siesta.
but i honestly have no i have no idea what's what's coming yeah i asked for ribs and quiet yes that sounds like a good combination And we're not joking either.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah.
And I don't want to jump off the Father's Day thing if there's no there, but I was going to mention this infernal day, this worthless designation of Juneteenth is unfortunately this Saturday.
We are in Saturday, but you're past Saturday already.
And my goodness, I was just checking while the show is on here.
I just checked, ran on Google to put here in the big city, you know, what's the death count.
24 shot, three dead so far.
And this, that's probably, you know, that's old information already.
That's rookie numbers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, wait, wait till Monday.
You might want to check.
You know where I, you know where I am.
Check on Monday morning or Tuesday morning even how this weekend fared on with Juneteenth.
It's Saturday night in the big city, Sam.
So, you know, the numbers are going bing, bing, bing right there.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I can, I can hear whatever.
There's something going on.
Just before the show started, multiple units were responding.
I could hear all the sirens.
I mean, it's popping off out there tonight.
Let me tell you.
Let me give two real quick rural American stories.
The other night, I can't remember why I took a walk with him.
We had to go down to get something, but we had a long talk with, I had a long talk with Potato about lightning bugs because we haven't done our annual summer bucket list lightning bug hunt.
So we went for a walk and we saw them in the trees, but it was too dark.
You know, you got to get them when it's like just before the sun goes down or right after the sun goes down.
So you can still see them and catch them, et cetera.
And we're sitting there on the bench near Mako's grave, our dog's grave, just looking at the trees and it's totally quiet.
And then he's worried about an insect that's making a weird noise.
And I was like, don't worry about it.
It's not an alien.
It's just an insect or a bird, possibly.
And then we hear gunshots off in the distance.
Boom.
Echoing through the holler.
And then maybe 30 seconds later, boom.
And he was more worried about the strange insect sound up in the tree than I swear to God.
I said, Potato, that's one of the glories of living here is that when you hear gunshots off in the distance, that's somebody either testing out their new gun or perhaps violating hunting regulations in this part of the country.
You know, it's June.
I don't know what's in what's in season there.
And then the hottest news in our local paper the other day was that there was a high-speed chase through the town that ended in a crash and felony charges.
Guess what it was?
It was somebody whose middle name was Delante and another one whose name was something similar tried to pass fake bills at a dollar.
It may have, may have been Durrell.
We could ask you about it.
Yeah.
Thank you, Roll.
That rings a bell.
Regardless, these two fine gentlemen tried to pass fake bills at a Dollar Tree.
Maybe it was a family dollar.
Maybe it was a Dollar General.
You can never be too certain about these things.
And then went on a high-speed chase through the town.
And the local good cops chased them down.
They crashed.
They seized them.
And they both had to get helicoptered out for medical treatment.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They were fine.
But yeah, we'll see how the charges stack on that.
Speaking of Delante and black crime and passing fake bills.
Maybe Durrell knows this guy.
Rumor has it.
We got something cooking in the hopper here.
I hear it's greater than any navigating the collapse we've ever had.
Oh, yeah, I mean, that's the same crappy two-bit segment we used to have on this show.
I see you there, Shirker.
So anyway, I don't know if it needs a windup.
I had not listened to it.
I'm just going on faith in good old Durrell to see what's cooking.
I think we do it with no explanation.
Let's see.
Once upon a crime, a ghetto fable about a shallow wheel.
Red by your nigga Durill spontaneous was a primary for the first time since he could even remember.
His niggas wouldn't be up for hours.
Spontaneous was alone.
That girl's a thinking, which is rare for Aesthet.
Spontaneous usually just goes with the flow, like a real nigga.
He ain't no nerd.
You feel me?
But with a nigga by himself, that's when a nigga that is smartest, for real.
The first thought that came into his head was about the time.
Why does this time of day exist?
Who can bring their back ass out to the door?
What does a nigga do besides go back to sleep though?
Spontaneous didn't want to waste no time on this mystery.
So he just left the house and went on an adventure.
He thought to himself, I'll bet I'm the only nigga ever to be pumping out at 11.13 a.m. on a Tuesday.
No care.
Spontaneous with aimlessly warmed.
His mind was blank.
The expression on his face reflected there.
He just let his Jordans take him wherever they desired.
Before he knew, he was in a different part of town.
He heard a voice.
The voice interrupted his steps and his brain was back in control of his body.
The voice was not a nigga's.
It was a high-pitched, insulted whiny like a bitch.
It was some kind of Asian.
Spontaneous couldn't tell the difference.
They all eat rice and mean mugging when he shops up at Cornersto.
The voice repeated itself louder, and Spontaneus understood this term.
What are you doing here?
Spontaneous ain't no punk.
He heard.
So he barked back.
I'm minding my own business, bitch.
Now get out of my phone.
I'm pitchmack you and your mama.
The little Asian yelled louder and said something about calling the police.
So he left pretending he was new to the entire term.
Without realizing it, he had wandered into the Vietnamese laundromat.
He put his hands in his pockets and felt something that he could not believe.
He had $13 that wasn't in his pocket when he left the house.
He looked back and saw the little Asian man on the phone.
He realized he must have found it at the laundromat.
With his newfound fortune, he decided it was time to make a nigga investment.
He knew where he was, so he went to the shop where he could buy through lot of scratches.
That, of course, is the Korean liquor store slash mail salon slash karate dojo.
He went in.
He bought himself $13 worth of scratches.
He has to spend money to make money, baby.
He left the store, no problem, dog.
The first three scratches were a bust.
If this next one don't pay out, I'll go back to the store.
I'm busting that punk's head open until I win, he thought.
On the last scratch, Tillman had a lucky day.
$50 is what Spontaneus earned.
He jumped like a frog.
He hooted like a mandrel.
And he rolled his eyes and wiggled his tongue like he was demon-possessed.
He turned to the shop to claim his newfall of cash.
Man at the counter looked at the scratcher, gave him a big smile, telling him, oh, you a rich man.
Big money now.
You like a rapper or basketball star.
Spontaneous replied with a smug sense of victory.
Yeah, I'm like Michael Joe now been here, nigga.
Ah, he took his payout and he went to the back to get himself a 40 of Coke 45 because it was a hot day.
They still sell it?
It gets hot in Los Angeles, even in April.
And the heat does something to him, nigga.
To be continued, perhaps.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
That was good.
Rolo must have.
Excuse me.
Whoever shared that story must have grown up in an urban environment to have experience with such fun things.
It sounds like an episode of the boondocks.
Yeah.
Well, there are some clues in there to kind of foreshadow where this is all going.
So, if you pay attention, you can tell what direction this is headed.
And you gave the biggest clue away there, Coach, at the very end.
Fair enough.
I'm very sorry.
This must have been dictated to you while you had insomnia, for sure.
Instead of starting terrorist cell fight clubs, I write stories about inner city blacks.
Yeah, clearly.
Yeah.
He's channeling them.
Rolo and Biggie were roommates or next door neighbors in the Bronx growing up.
Well, gentlemen, I'm going to have to check out, but I appreciate the time.
I'll be in touch.
Shout out Spontaneous.
Shout out Kidney Mike and his potential kidney plug that didn't have to pull up.
That's right.
You guys have a good night.
See you, bro.
Good hanging out with you, Jo.
We'll see you again soon.
Best of wifey and Jr.
Well, I had one other item I was going to mention to you, Coach.
Fired up, Sam.
Yeah.
You know, I've kind of got out of the habit of mentioning White Power Hour.
We are doing regular episodes pretty regularly, just about every week or every other week.
So definitely tune in, but we're going to be having a we always, you know, Mark is very mercurial there with his different themes he comes up with.
And this latest one is to pay tribute to the ladies, you know, especially the romantically with a lady.
So, you know, that was, I think I came up with some real winners there.
So I would invite people to listen in to the White Power Hour, where I'm a regular DJ on there and check it out.
Sam, send me that link again.
I know there's the Telegram channel.
I can never find it.
Apple Band or Device Band or whatever, but I will put that in the show notes.
It's in a big circle, which means that it will definitely go in the show notes on my chicken scratch along with, you know, Wim Hoff and music and the rest of it.
Rolo Water, anything left in your stack?
I could wax poetic about a couple things, but wanted to go to water in particular as our special guest, one of our two special guests this week.
Nothing too special.
I mean, another thing floating in my mind was any fun summer plans?
Because every time I try to travel, I do the regional thing, whether it's hike mountain or swim in a lake or fish the good spots in the south.
What do you plan on doing before the good weather goes away?
Rolo, summer plans.
Come on.
What do you got in the hopper, even if it's one or two things?
I actually don't have any plans for the first time this summer.
It's been hot and I don't know.
Just going to do a lot more walking, just taking in some sun and sweating.
And that's about it.
Maybe I'll go find a lake, you know, down on that California border.
Bring all your firearms for sure when you go out on that lake.
All right.
Sam, what are you in the fam?
I know you're a working man and it's not all peaches and cream just because it's summertime.
Yeah.
Well, I'm going camping with the guys, you know, on a camping trip sometime during the summer.
And towards the end of the summer, of course, we have our great big local camp out.
And it's open to vetted people.
So you got to know somebody.
But you guys and Water, certainly consider coming to it if you can.
It's a great time.
And we've done it now many years.
It's discreet.
We have a good time.
And it's beautiful, very clean, modern facilities where we stay.
And so people can get in touch with us if they would like.
Fair enough.
And to answer your question, Water, I have to be honest with the audience, we have not yet created our summer bucket list that I hyped at the top of last week's show.
We've done it the past two or three years and we knocked a lot of them out.
So it's a little bit challenging to come up with, we could just create the same ones and have a nice summer.
But we made it to the beach already because here in Glorious West Virginia, the kids get out of school May 31st.
So we went to the beach with grandma and grandpa Jersey Shore.
Little, I want to say it's a mom and pop beach.
It's not a resort, but it's got a pool and it's got, you know, things to do there.
And let me tell you guys, if you think having young kids is a joy in your daily life, having young kids and having your parents still alive to appreciate them is something special.
Absolutely.
There was one moment where we were all at the beach and then my father came ambling up onto the beach as he does.
And our youngest looked up to see his very tall figure approaching and say, said, he's here.
He's here.
He's coming.
He's coming.
And that probably was worth more than all the gold in the world to my father for sure.
And the memory for me as well.
And let's not forget the fact that Water and I and the kids have gone for a very weird hike in the middle of nowhere with adventures to the point where we were hiking up a very heavily grassed hill at one point.
And I kept thinking we're all going to get ticks on us.
And we somehow made it to our destination on a beautiful June day.
Summer hasn't even technically started yet.
And the lightning bugs are just starting to emit their glorious rays into the trees and upon the fields and sports, homesteading, slaughtering chickens.
You know, we got to get back to the beach again this summer at some point.
But it's a time to be alive.
Everything else is alive from the plants to the insects to the birds and the bees and the sycamore trees.
So do everything that you can with it.
Whether you got kids, whether you're old, whether you're laid up.
I had a big sad sack moment when I was watching a guy running around the track the other day.
And I realized that I just can't do that on these old knees anymore.
And I was tempted to feel sorry for myself.
But then I looked up at the sky and I looked up at my kids and the nice weather and I said, nah, stop, stop.
You can't run around a track.
Don't boohoo for yourself.
Don't cry for me, Argentina.
Count your blessings.
So yeah, tons of stuff to do.
Urge everybody to go outside and be active.
However, however much that is for your, your able-bodiedness there.
But uh yeah, I in the backcountry about it for me amen, brother.
Thank you again for your help.
Slaughtering chicken number one, uh, we'll see if uh Wifey gets the bird in the oven tomorrow.
As I said, she looked at me.
She was like, what do you want me to do with this?
I was like, I don't know, just pour some olive oil on it and uh, sprinkle some salt and pepper and pop it in the oven for a while, which probably would work.
Yeah, I don't know, we'll.
We'll google rotisserie chicken tomorrow to do it properly, but the damn thing is the size of a freaking turkey.
Uh, so that's what you get for spending uh 14 a week at Tractor Supply on the?
Uh, what do they call it?
Farmers pride?
Uh, whatever it is, I get the cheap feed because you know they're birds, they can handle that and they're free-ranging all day long.
All right uh, big thanks to Jo, who is no longer with us.
Uh Water, thank you for riding with us this week and god bless you and your mobile living existence.
And any last thoughts before we head out?
No, i'm gonna go ahead and say it, we love you, fam.
All right, you're getting, you're getting ahead of yourself.
I appreciate the enthusiasm.
Uh Sammy baby, you good.
Yes sir yeah, it was.
It was a good discussion.
I always give the caveat before the show, hey guys, i'm not prepared, and Sam's like it's gonna be fine coach, Sam's like Sam, Sam's like my big brother or maybe my, you know, whatever he's like, we're gonna be good.
And uh, Rollo.
Thank you very much, my friend, and I would love to see you out in this part of the country at some point this summer.
Uh, if you can swing it, you know trains, planes and automobiles etc.
From the desert.
Uh, i'll see what I can do.
Well, there's this uh camping thing I mentioned.
You know could meet you halfway or a quarter of the way, whatever the hell it is.
Well, I may just uh be heading out east at some point this summer, all right.
So you're saying you're going to New York City this summer.
Uh well yeah, you june 30th at the uh Black HAT CLUB.
Uh, you know, I said, why do I even tell you my secrets?
Where, wherever you go, i'm like a sip.
Yeah, i'm just trying, trying to bust Rollo.
Yeah, all right brother, thank you everybody.

Water, I am sort of grinding my teeth at the prospect.
I don't know.
Are we going to get boomer rock here?
I don't know where your musical tastes lie, but lay it on a screen.
Oh, club music.
