 Welcome everyone, greetings and welcome to progressive discussions. I'm your host James P. Madonna, as seen on the web since 1995 doing this. And it is a lovely May 1st, that's right, May 1st, spring time 2022. April showers brings May flowers, and it is May the 1st, Sunday, a little after 3pm Eastern time, and I welcome everyone to my show. We might have some co-hosts and special guests popping in, you never know. So I am going to start off the show with a very serious topic, and it is a topic of great concern, not only to people in the exotic pet hobby, but also to animal rights activists and people that are involved with the ASPCA animal cruelty laws and PETA. When I say exotic pets, I'm not talking about animals that should not be kept as a pet or as a hobby, dangerous animals, I'm not talking about people that go through a black market and purchase a tiger cub or a lion cub. Commodore Jeff Sanbello, sir, welcome. Welcome May 1st, April showers brings May flowers spring 2022. So anyway, I'm starting on a serious topic about animal cruelty involving the exotic pet trade for people that just want to make a fast buck and do not properly take care of the animals, and they send sick animals to customers that die on them after they spend money, so on and so forth. So I'm not talking about people that get dangerous tiger cubs, lion cubs, leopard cubs, mountain lion cubs or venomous snakes. There are lunatics online that brag and show their videos of their pet black mamba or king cobra, rattlesnakes and whatever. I'm not talking about those idiots and maniacs. I'm talking about harmless exotic pets. It could be fish. Some of them are expensive marine fish, certain captive bred African sickles. It could be reptiles like non-venomous snakes, lizards, amphibians. But there are three exotic pet, I mean, online companies that sell exotic safe legal pets to people that don't give a damn about their animals. And I had personal experience with them. My brother, Lord Jerry, had personal experience with them. And if you read the reviews, multitudes, I mean, multitudes of people have very horrible experience with these companies that don't give a rat's ass about their animals. You know, I'm talking about animals that are sick, they're sold to individuals. They send it. It could be UPS, United States Postal Service. It could be FedEx overnight shipping, overnight shipping, which is about $40, give or take. And of course, there's a cost of their packaging. You know, they have to package it properly so the animal is supposedly safe. And they get the animal, it could be an amphibian, it could be a lizard, it could be a snake. They receive it and lo and behold, shortly after the creature dies and the customer service department of these companies don't care. They don't reply to them in a timely fashion. They don't they don't offer a definite complete refund of their money. They play mind games with you. OK, let me see now. James, hello. I am so happy to see you likewise to today has been an absolute nightmare of work. I just came from lunch. Very happy to be on the show, but I have a lot of work to do in the meantime. Now, that's understandable. That's understandable. You know, just listen and whenever you can drop a comment every now and then. Perfectly understandable. You know, my my co-host who for personal reasons can't be on the show. Jason Cleveland has been having a nightmare at his job in the office because he he he he's been forced to go to a barrage of meetings. Day and night working day and night going to meeting at the meeting at the meeting. And I asked him, does it have to do with the fact that it's tax time? I mean, I don't know. But, you know, I think that's the way it goes in certain businesses. Oh, yeah. And I and I and I can't wait until. That Jorbrony Jamboloni. Mr. DeMail has a written in stone event. At a bona fide location in a bona fide bona fide venue. You know, the vintage games, instead of all this wishy washy stuff. Hey, here it is. By the way, people, the intro song that I played at the beginning of the show was made, was created and sung by this man right here. Performing artist, Jordy Kay from Scotland, my good friend, Jordy Kay. Thank you and welcome on the show. Your, your, your audio, check your microphone or might be muted. I see you loud and clear, but I do not hear you. Rural Wisconsin. Well, yeah, but you got, you know, you've got all that nice seafood in the Maritime provinces and, you know, I'm sure you got nice, nice quahogs, nice clams and, and smoked kippers, whatever smoked herring, pickled herring. That tastes like, you know, vaginal secretions from women that have very high mileage. I don't know. I can't hear you, man. You might have to, you might have to reboot or just check your microphone, Jordy. Make sure you're not muted. I honestly, or, or, you know, or, or leave and come back. I mean, I really, I can't hear you. I could see you perfectly, but I can't hear you. So, you know, you, you can never go wrong with leaving and coming back or if you have to rebooting. Yeah, happens sometimes, you know. So anyway, these poor animals, I, you know, I, I'm not only upset for the customer who often do not get a refund. For ordering these poor creatures, but not just for horrible customer service, but also the fact that these poor animals are, are through neglect, are, are ill. They're not being properly cared for. And then they have to go, they have to sit in a box, pitch black darkness, you know, and not knowing what's going to happen to happen to them. And, and, and they're probably frightened and sick, going to their new home. It's really horrible. And I'm going to mention three companies off the bat. I named names, but a chiseless hall of shame. Jordy, there you are. What was, yeah, I can hear you and I can see you fine. Well, what was the problem? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Just a mystery, a mystery of the internet. So you, you left and came back and it works. So, all right, no problem. You can hear me good? Yeah, sure. All right. Okay. Okay. That's Jordy Kay, the man who's opening theme songs I have been playing on my show. And I'm very happy about it. And I'm talking about, I was talking about the online exotic pet trade where, you know, somebody wants to get a snake or a lizard or an amphibian or even a nice fish. And they want to get it online because the prices are better or perhaps these companies, Jordy, are sending sick animals that are not being properly cared for. And then when the customer complains that they're lizard or whatever died on them two days later, they jerk them around. They don't give them restitution, no full refund, nothing. So meanwhile, the customer gets ripped off plus the animal suffers. Okay. So we have a double issue here for Chisler's Hall of Shame and I'm going to mention three of them. Okay. That's not right. It is animal cruelty. Damn right. And the three companies that I'm going to expose that definitely not only do not properly care for the animals they sell but have absolutely horrible customer service and which means they have contempt for their customers. Number one, Reptile City, originally from Florida now in Texas. Okay. The second one is Backwater Reptiles, horrible. They make the quick sale. They only care about profit. The animal dies and they don't, there's no restitution to the customer. So that's number two, Backwater Reptiles, Reptile City. Okay. And the third one, and I'm really going to hammer hard because this company has so many horrible reviews on the internet that they've been reported 20 times. I heard they might get shut down and you know what, deservedly so, they should be ashamed of themselves. The third company is called Underground Reptiles. So that's Reptile City, Backwater Reptiles and Underground Reptiles. Shame, shame, shame on you. All three of you are newly inducted into the chisels hall of shame. You should be ashamed of yourselves. You really are despicable. The animals suffer by not being cared for and the customer gets screwed. Really. I mean, what is going on today with business? Nobody has any integrity anymore? Yeah, what the fuck? They don't, hey Bart, yard work. So that means you worked on only three feet squared of your property. Three feet, that's a yard, right? Three feet by three feet by three feet. Well, that's probably pretty quick if you use the yardstick. Cheers Bart. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Everybody in the liquor community, I noticed they like to say cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Now, this is really, I mean, animal rights activists will get, will be infuriated, people who care ASPCA laws, PETA and, you know, hobbyists, hobbyists that are honest good people in the hobby. James, James, we have a special guest. I think my little brother wants to play a region for you. Who's this? Who's here? And hobbyists. Hey, look who it is. It's Haggis. Ah, me Haggis. Ah, me little Haggis. I haven't seen you in a long time. What do you got, bangs? You got hair and bangs? Okay, now you go. See when I say three, two, one, you go play. So I'm going to go three, two, one, and then he's going to play. So you want to play, go ahead. So three, two, one, go. Awesome me, man. I need to teach you how to do a smoke on the water. Don't go away, young fellow, young whippersnapper. Don't go away. I'm going to play the March of the Wooden Soldiers on my metal kazoo. All right. Yes. So James is going to collaborate. So you play the guitar and James is doing his kazoo. All right. His muscles are never jello. He's a mighty good fellow and come vintage games. He will say cheers to James. Say cheers, James. Say hi, James. Say hi. That's James. Many trophies. He says, hi, James. He's the kid on the, on the oatmeal box with the, with the shot foot. You're the, you're the porridge boy. Is the porridge going with the oats? Well, you know what, you know what the thing about cheers is? I don't mean to show. I don't mean the secret. The thing about the people saying cheers constantly is that it's almost like it's, I don't know. It's almost like, like it's a click or a cult of some kind where everybody has to say cheers constantly. So it's overdone. Plus, they never say cheers to me. No matter what I've written on any of these shows, they never, ever, ever say cheers to me. No one. And, and when I, I talk about something, when I discuss something, the only person who really replies to me and, and jokes around with me is Ronald Terrio. The others don't do it. They just stare blankly. And it's like, they don't say cheers. So, you know, screw them. You know, I'm not part of the click. James, cheers to you. You're a fucking brilliant guy. Thank you. Thank you, Jeff. You know, thank you. Cheers, James. James P. Madonna. The motherfuckers from when I'm, when I'm on any of those other shows and, and one in particular is the ones hosted by Thomas Metal 75, Eric Hornfelter, that whole clan, that whole click. Nobody, nobody laughs at my jokes. Nobody replies to what I have to say. And nobody says cheers. So this is why I tend not to say it. Yeah. I never liked clicks. I mean, there were clicks. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Listen, there were clicks when I was in high school and after high school and then at the discos, the dance club, there were clicks. And I never liked them because it's, it's like an elitist way of thinking, sort of, when you think about it, you know, it's like, perfect example. I went to, I went to Saturday, early evening mass next door at the church at a Holy Rosary. Everybody in there, church people, let me tell you, they're not friendly like people outside the church. They're very moody. They're very, they act very, they have no sense of humor. They act very sanctimonious, self-righteous, you know, and they look down on others almost like they have a bat phone to God and have a one-way ticket to heaven. You know, so that, the church people are also a form of elitists. I mean, yeah, they're stiff. They're uptight. The person who is too serious, the most, the most serious person that doesn't really display a sense of humor and is way too serious on shows. And the only time he, he laughs is if someone from the clicks says something. He doesn't even laugh. He just smiles. That's the miscellaneous guy, miscellaneous from Florida, miscellaneous beer review, whatever the hell his name is, you know, it seems like, and you know, all, all those companies, anytime I had to deal with a company in Florida, I always had a problem with customer service or something. There's always a, or the people are, are dumbered in a bag of rocks. You're damn right to have a lot of skid marks. There's more skeletons in the closet. Even my sister had a horrible experience with that non-denominational born-again type of church she was at. When my mother died, nobody, not even, not even the pastor sent condolences. Nobody sent condolences to my sister. Yeah, yeah, and they're, and they have a lot of skeletons in their closet. I mean, people that go are not people that are on top of the world. I think they're like the most messed up people with a lot of problems that go to church constantly. Oh, there's a lot of snake oil sales people there. They suck. Yeah, so, you know, sanctimonious, self-righteous. Okay, James, I've got, I've got to try and get, I've got to try and get the remanity here. But he's going to play one more song and then he's going to go into you. You want to play one more song? One more song in the guitar, you want to go? Very quiet today. He's not, you don't feel like... Oh, he wants to show, he wants to show you that stuff, the marble stuff. All right, I'm going to zoom in on you guys. Hold on. All right, you show it then. You show it. It's just these wee things he's made. Yeah, where you go? Where are you? Where are you, oatmeal boy? Forage boy? Let me see. Camera's up there. Marble fight, number one. Who are these people? Are they like superheroes? Right? You try to open it. Oh, oatmeal boy. How does it work? I don't know how it works. What are you doing? It's a wee foot boot thing, he's got the short ass way. I don't even know who these people are. Where are they? Cartoons? It's not going to work. It's not going to work. Oh, is that you show me a card trick? It's these wee books. He's made his own wee Marvel comic book things on all these wee bits of paper. Oh, you see, I wouldn't know because I'm not a comic book. Oh, you're trying to do a movie. You're trying to do a... Yeah, yeah, that's what you're trying to do. Like an old-fashioned movie where they had the pages going by. That's not going to be easy. It's going to be very, very difficult. Yeah, exactly. It's too hard to do in the camera. You've got yourself... You play cards? Yeah, I play poker. Gin rummy and all that stuff. Oh, yeah, they wanted... Oh, yeah, they definitely discriminated. Two churches discriminated against me. Go into your room now. I got a lot of attention playing the African drum. A lot of people came up to me and loved it. James, that's called batakuda. Oh, the instrument. The one I played is the jambi. D-J-E-M-B-E, jambi drum. Yeah, a lot of Jose liked it, but the church people, the church, the people in charge... Like the guy that does the entertainment, like yesterday had no sense of humor. Billy Jones did. No sense of humor. He's way too serious about being a canter. I know he's a retired guitarist, but I mean, he's a church canter. What does that mean? He's trying to attract groupies by being a church canter. Commodore says this is a smart young man from Scotland. Marvel comic books are awesome. Say thank you, Commodore. Well, the guy from... The tall guy from With the Skinny Mustache, Rick Brown. He has an elitist mentality, too. I don't know. You go into your room now and then we'll see you next time. Okay. Well, I sent some invitations to a few of the beer and booze click... I'm sorry. Let me go back to the gang. And then you go back into your room. Yeah, you do that real quick. It's going to be really hard for you to duplicate the machines. No, I can't. You open it way up. It's because it's yellow. It's because it's yellow. It's because it's yellow. I'm going to make another one. I'm going to have a few beers and talk to James. Before you go away, you've got to say hi, James. You've got to say cheers, James. And you've got to say cheers, Commodore. So say cheers to James and cheers to Commodore. Yeah. Cheers, James. Cheers, James. Cheers, James and cheers, Commodore. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. And you did that last one super quick. So in England, in England, are all the submarines painted yellow? Is that why the Beatles sang about the submarine? We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine. Now, if I played the kazoo while you were swinging the steel mace up on stage, Jeff, would you like start cracking up and accidentally, accidentally the steel mace would go flying and hit somebody in the skull? James, do that again. We all live in a yellow submarine. Oh, yeah, remember that. The Beatles. The yellow mace that almost hit somebody. But anyway, in Belfast. So, you know, what was I saying? Yeah. So if the kazoo will cause Jeff to let go of the steel mace in competition and go flying across the room and, God forbid, maybe hit somebody important, one of the judges will get hit in the head. Yeah. I'm going to go and grab another beer. I'll be back in a second. Oh, the steel mace. I just love it. Oh, yeah. Rick Brown said that when he got that scepter. It looked like chrome. It was a chrome little dildo, a steel mace. And he liked to love my girl. And that was the last time we saw it. He did the one video. So it's probably collecting dust on his mental. Oh, yeah. He was doing the same thing. Those guys, those other guys doing the little, the little dildo. Look, Jeff, they go like this, like they're going to make love to it. Unbelievable. Now, what would they, what would the polyvines in Thurkenay and the Kuchti wrestlers at the Akara, how would they react to these clowns making all of these videos with them caressing the mace, caressing the dildo? Jeff, they were probably, they were caressing the dildo. Steve Angel was right. He said that these people that do seminars, one in particular, skinny mustache, is bastardizing. Well, you don't know. He is bastardizing the ancient sport. He was God rest his soul. Um, Steve Angel, he was absolutely right. Steve Angel? Yeah. Well, that's the mustache. His, uh, his middle name is Earth as in Earth Angel. Where's the spinning wheel? James, where's the spinning wheel? It's coming. It's coming. Don't worry that this spinning wheel is coming with a new person in the middle. James, put my face up on there. You want, you want, you say, you want to go live? I mean, you want to go like, like that? Do it. Performing art. That's right. Performing art. Oh, yeah. Show, show us what you're drinking. Oh, what am I drinking? I'm drinking, uh, Heineken, Heineken silver. 4% Heineken silver is basically Heineken leek. That's a very light beer. Yeah. 4% is really, that's, it goes down in like two seconds. Oh my goodness. Yeah, you know, you gotta, you gotta, cheers to you. Thank you. You know what you gotta do? What would be cooler where it says Mr. Shades, you have to get rid of the E and just have S-H-A-D-Z and then put a, put a space between the, the, the period and the S. So it'll be Mr., you know, MR period space and then Can I change that right now? Can I change that right now? Yeah, sure. You can probably do that. Mr. Shades. And, and then get rid of the E and they'll be like Mr. Shades. The reason I'm called Mr. Shades is because I've been on, um, Sturtman Steve's Live and like, I always wear shades. So I'm known as, yeah, um, look up Sturtman Steve's Tavern. He's an amazing guy. He's my friend from England. Does he do any stunts or, or he just calls himself that? Well, he, he, he threw himself down the stairs. So he's, yeah, he is a stuntman. Okay. I have a question. I'm very glad you brought up, um, the shows that you attend because you, you hosted a show not long ago and there was this, this skinny guy with dark hair on the bottom of the, of the, of the panel. He was having a body. There was three people. There was you, another dude, and then it was somebody, one person underneath and the guy was laughing like a cross between the Riddler from Batman and a hyena. He was like, what was his name? One of your shows recently, your last, your last show where you had a panel. What was the last show you did that had a panel? Oh, we had Moose. I had Miss Carol. I had John. I had, um, Steve. I had Robert. I had, I had a lot of people in there. It was, it was skinny and he had the most, he had the weirdest laugh and he was talking about smoking joints, marijuana. Oh, I can't remember. I honestly can't remember. I make me see. I swear he was like, just like that, like, like, like a girl. Oh, Christopher, Christopher. That's Christopher's. Yeah, Christopher. I think they have long hair. Did they have long hair? Kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Christopher's cool though. Christopher's cool. He's a, he's a nice dude. I wait, Christopher. Anyway, Shakespeare's the drummer's nickname in the 1960s band The Wonders. Oh, nice. Nice. That's cool. Yeah. All right. You know what? Let me see what else is going on. Um, uh, there is, uh, there, uh, there's a lot of consumer complaints going on today. I mean, um, I know last time I inducted Bumblebee, whole baby clan, canned clams, because they had all these chemical chemicals in it. I couldn't pronounce them. But, uh, I'll put it back, guys. I'll put it back, James. BRB. Yeah. Get some, get something exotic from great, you know, something, it's something heavier. Okay. Get it. Yeah. Get it like more of a craft. All right. So, uh, anyway, uh, Mr. Jeff Sanbello, how is, uh, speaking of Christopher, how is your son doing, Christopher? Yeah. Jeff Sanbello's son, Christopher, the oldest son, Christopher joined the, uh, U.S. Army Airborne, I think. And, uh, he was supposed to attend basic training where he might still be there. Of course, no one ever said basic training was easy. But anyway, I hope things are going well for him. You know, it doesn't hurt to try. It doesn't hurt to try. Give, give everything a shot once and give it a hundred percent of your ability. Good. Good. You know, and, and if things work out and, uh, knock on wood, they will. And he graduates from basic training. Uh, he might be smart enough to, uh, get promoted to, uh, what's the highest non-officer rank? This sergeant, well, sergeant, there's somebody, there's somebody, it's gotta be somebody above sergeant. I know, I know the beginning of our officer is Lieutenant, right? And, uh, in the Navy, um, there is a, it's Chief Petty Officer. Chief Petty Officer, I believe is the highest non-officer rank in the Navy. They have gold anchors on their collars, two gold anchors on their collars, Chief Petty Officer. Okay. Okay. So you have to get, you have to get by, you have to get by the basic training. And then you start airborne. And then he, wow. And then he will get, be stationed in Anchorage, Alaska. Well, he'll be eating some great seafood up there. That's for sure. Anchorage, Alaska. Yikes. The Bering Sea is very treacherous. The highest ranking enlisted man before Lieutenant is Sergeant Major. Gotcha. Gotcha. Remember when George C. Scott played, uh, General Patton? He had, like, medals all over his uniform? Like, everywhere, everywhere you looked, it was a medal. Oh, man. You know, uh, George Patton, after Nazi Germany surrendered, George Patton wanted to go straight to Moscow and get Stalin. He wanted to go, he wanted to get Stalin, he wanted to go, he wanted to continue the war against, um, Communist Party of Stalin, who was definitely no angel. He was, he was sort of a Hitler in his own way. He murdered a lot of people, but, but Eisenhower, Eisenhower stopped him. Eisenhower said no. Patton wanted to go straight from Moscow. Anyway, Jordy is taking a hell of a long time to get his beer. But, uh, let me, uh, let me get, um, hold on. General Patton was a soldier's officer who fought alongside the troops he commanded. He actually fought on the battlefield instead of sitting back in the rear echelon. Yeah, like, uh, like, uh, the, the, the red coats, the, the, the British, when the, when the monarchy ran, uh, the British Empire, the, uh, the officers and the generals there, they used to be on horseback all the way in the back, far, far away from the action. Yeah. But Patton was like, Patton was like the, uh, the warriors of ancient Greece and, and Persia and the Roman Empire, like those, those commanding officers were right there and the heat of battles. Now, now, um, what's his name? There was a famous general who made a lot of sense, Schmidli Butler was his name. He said war is a racket. Schmidli Butler. Um, and, um, this is the one that, that, um, retired being a generally wrote a book. Um, Mattis, what do they call him? Mad Dog Mattis? General Mattis? Yeah. He, he's a guest on, on TV often. He seems like a sharp cookie. You know, I mean, to ask him questions about the Ukraine and Vladimir Putin and yeah. Yeah. He's, he's, he's good. He's really good. I remember General Schwarzkopf of, uh, the, the only thing is General Schwarzkopf, he never came clean about the, uh, the bullshit of, uh, of the Iraqi war because since they found no weapons of mass destruction, he never came clean about that. You know, meanwhile, meanwhile, the 9 11 perpetrators were Saudi Arabians. Everybody do it in the way we dance now. Come on baby, do the locomotion. And he, and he hid out and said, uh, Osama bin Laden hid out in Afghanistan in the cave, but he was not Afghanistan. You know, he was Saudi. It's most of them were Saudi, the people that are brutal to their own citizens with the, uh, the radical version of, uh, their, their religion. Yep. Oh, he's Mad Dog Mattis, is a Marine Corps general. Gotcha. And yeah, there's a Marine Corps and then there's the Navy Seals. They're both branches of the Navy. I can't hear Commodore. No, because he, he's working. He's at the office. If he, if he start, if he starts talking, he'll never get done with his work. Yeah. But then again, I don't know why you don't put the, the, the microphone on when, when he, uh, when he works out in his, uh, in the studio, the studio with the fireplace in the background. Put your make on Commodore. He should, he should put the microphone on his own. What are you drinking there, James? Is that alcoholic or? No, I'm just drinking, uh, chai tea, black tea with chai spices. Oh, that's medicinal. That's good for your health. Oh, really? General Mattis, he went to, that's the Naval Academy. Yeah. So did, uh, who was his name? Roger, Roger Storback, the Dallas cowboy, uh, quarterback. Roger Storback was at a Navy. He played football for, for Navy. James, I want you to, to, to subscribe to Stop Man Steve Tavern. You would be welcomed out anytime. You know, he's my best friend from England. I subscribe to you on, on YouTube. So I should be able to see when you go live. Thank you. I should be able to see when you go live. But the thing is, do you put, do you post the link in, in the commentary or do you send it out? Yeah, the stream yard link? Yeah, I send that in the comments. Yeah. So anybody can join. Yeah, I do the same thing. Uh, but, uh, I guess, uh, James, thank you for playing my music on your intro as well. Thank you so much. Wait, honestly, that means a lot to me, man. Thank you. You're welcome. Uh, you're definitely off to a fantastic start in the business. Thank you. Yeah, my favorite song that I've done so far is Vampire Dust. Vampire Dust, you know. Oh, he is a Heisman Trophy recipient. Oh, no wonder, no wonder he went to the Cowboys. No wonder they got him. Tom Landry, the coach, the coach that wore the hat all the time. All right, you know what? Oh, look who's here, dear darling. Hey, Masumi. Good morning, Masumi, my dear. It is, it is now, uh, about, I would say it is 4.57 a.m. in the Tokyo area. Good morning, Masumi. Hello, Masumi. Jordy from Scotland sends his good morning greeting. Yes. And you know who else was a great quarterback? Johnny Unitas of the Baltimore Colts. Johnny Unitas. Hey, Bart. Really? And you know, uh, George Bush, uh, what is it? Herbert Walker? Yeah. The father was a World War II fighter pilot in the Pacific against the Japanese. Yes. And he was good at what he did. He was, he was no, uh, Ham and Ager pilot, that's for sure. You're very welcome, Masumi. We got people from all over, international. We got Masumi from Japan. We have a Jordy Kay from Scotland. The international folks, uh, are, are, are a lot better than the Americans. I know that are in this country coming on. And we have the Maritime Provinces with Jeff D'Ambello, even though he is a Boston, Bostonian. I'm very happy they, they protect and keep Fenway Park. That is a historic landmark. Fenway Park and Wrigley Field are the last two historic landmarks of baseball. Yeah. He's talking about real talent. Ken Stabler of the Oakland Raiders, uh, Joe Montana with, uh, who's that guy? Jim Rice of the, uh, San Francisco. I remember, uh, when Fran Tarkent, Fran Tarkenton, but they didn't really win anything on Fran Tarkenton with Fran Tarkenton. But I remember when he got traded before he left the New York Giants for the, uh, Minnesota Vikings, they used to call him the scrambler because he would like, he wasn't afraid to run with the ball. Instead of throwing the ball, instead of throwing the ball away, you know, throwing it at the ground, he starts zigzagging, man. He see, he would run, try to get a first down. And then he can only, if he sees somebody open, he can throw it. I mean, oh man. Oh, let's see. Ken Thieson. Got a message from the great Ken Thieson, former WWE star. And, uh, let's see. I mean, I'm getting, you know, I've been getting to talk about chisels all the shame. I've been getting, I've been getting bombarded with all these webcam whores day and night, night and day, sending me, um, sending me invitations in my, um, my phone, my text, not, not Facebook Messenger, but in my actual phone text. And I don't know how to block them. I mean, no, no, I don't know how to set up protection from all of them. I have to block them one at a time. And you know how many I get? It's horrible. You know, I wonder if there's an app that involves protection from any solicitation on your phone. Oh yeah. That is, he did have big balls. He wasn't a big guy. You know, you know, for a quarterback to do that, that's a lot of courage because he could have gotten, he could have became, um, the peanut butter and jelly between two slices of bread jamming together. He could have gotten squashed. Yep. All right. Let me, um, let me see if, um, hold on. Well, not only did they have less protection, uh, the, uh, there were no, uh, in the retractable dome stadiums that everything was outdoors. And, and, and if you played for Green Bay or Minnesota or Detroit Lions or whatever, Chicago Bears and you, and it was winter time, which, which you, it is most of the time during football season. And you, you had ice and snow on the field. You played and, and, and, and if you hit, you hit the field and you slide, you slid, you know, no matter how hard the ground feels, you had to play. That was hardcore football. Really. That, that's when they didn't protect against concussions. You know, people got concussions and they suffered. Oh, yeah. The old Vikings, Bud Grant. Now, you know, Vince Lombardi, um, was a high school coach in, uh, I think it's, uh, was St. Sicilians or something in New Jersey. It might have been a Catholic high school, St. Sicilians or something. It was in, he's from Northern New Jersey. He, they, then he got a job with the New York Giants. Not, not as head coach, but he worked for the New York Giants. And then they, they asked him, you know, we, there's this rag tag, um, mediocre, ham and egg or whatever, whatever words they use, football team out in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Well, the Green Bay Packers and you, you want the job, you could be head coach. You took, you took the job, you know, and you had, uh, where's the bar star? I think it was the quarterback. He had Ray Nitschke and, you know, a whole bunch of, uh, that's when, uh, Green Bay won, um, a few Super Bowls under Vince Lombardi, a few, a few, or maybe four. I don't know, I'm not sure. And then, then they created the Lombardi trophy for, for the Super Bowl, eventually. Fordham, Fordham University is in, uh, the Bronx, the Bronx, it's in New York, I believe. Well, he must have, okay. He must have went from high school football coach to Fordham University, which is in New York. I think it's the Bronx, you know, part of, part of the Bronx, that's nice. There's not too many of them. And then from, from then you went to the Giants just to work for them. And then he went to Green Bay, probably what happened. Paul Ornain was the Heisman Trophy winner from Notre Dame that played under Vince Lombardi at the Green Bay practice. Yeah, Green Bay is on, uh, Lake Michigan, like Milwaukee and they, they get nasty winters at Lambeau. Lambeau, Lambeau Field is still the same Lambeau Field with no dome on top of it. Lambeau Field is outdoors. Remember the New England Patriots, uh, what was his, Jim Plunkett? Remember Jim Plunkett? He was a quarterback for the old Patriots when, when the helmet used to have like a continental army soldier, you know, with the football on his hand. They had a different logo. I think, yeah, I think his name was Jim Plunkett, yeah. Well, we got some off-season football nostalgia, baseball, little baseball too. I heard that the, um, the National League has finally come to their senses and, and is willing to adopt the designator hitting rule, designator hitting rule, which is smart because pitches, they work hard. I mean, they're expending a lot of energy on that mount. They shouldn't have to go to bat, really. I mean, they should focus all their energy on throwing all those pitches to the best of their ability. So I don't know why they're, they're, they're still not allowing that, you know, I mean, only, and it's better for the team because the designated hitter can be an older slugger. If he can, it can be a person who's an established hitter that was successful when he played the field. Now he's a little older. Maybe he's got a few more good years left in his career. So you put him in at DH, put him in at DH. He was Mexican. Oh, Jim Plunkett, really? And then he played for the New England Patriots, yeah. Plunkett, maybe, maybe he was half Caucasian and half Mexican. Oh, what, what did he do? He had a, that was his stage name. He, he changed his last name to Plunkett, so he wouldn't, he wouldn't deal with any discrimination, maybe? Both of them? Oh, for God's sake, poor guy. Oh, gee, how did, how did they manage being a parent? I mean, I know they, I know they say love is blind, but that's the, that's the extreme. Geez. Well, we're getting an education here between Jeff Zanbello and, and Bart Robinson, you know, I appreciate the, they had to be, I mean, to be a parent, to get married without even knowing what each other looks like. Yikes. That's totally blowing me away. Okay. The time has come. The time has come. I don't know where Jordy went, but the time has come. And that time is the spinning wheel of topics. Missouri Bob, the spinning wheel of topics. I'm going to George Costanza, how to keep getting calzones for George Steinbrenner for lunch, because he got hooked on calzones. George, George, where's my calzone? I can smell it, I can smell it. Okay. Now, let me ask you a question. Do you see the image of the spinning wheel or no? Or do you see a blank screen? George Costanza had hand. Well, is it a blank screen, or do you see the wheel? I'm just curious. Yeah, George had hand, because I may have to, it's a blank screen. I thought so. I thought so. Okay. Unfortunately, I have to do, can I bear with me? I just learned something new here. Yeah. I'm fixing that situation right now. Here we go again. Here we go again, people. Oh, boy. Where'd he go? Okay. Next up. How are you? Streamyard. Okay. Let's try it again. Okay. It's still blank. Now, when I go to come back now, no, that's not working. Okay. What I'm going to do is I'm going to bring up this age. You got to treat our people right. And so if you can go to spade, you can give our work as a bathroom break. Ain't that right? I want to thank every Amazon employee, because you guys paid for all this. How much money does the same stuff and the other billionaires need? You would think you got 170 billion dollars. Who would give a shit about putting a few more billion dollars at the work capacity? No, no, 160 billion dollars, right? And probably going to put it out of the movie. We need to be an intermediary between us, our employees. Working people are sick and tired of falling further and further behind while billionaires like Bezos become much richer. They don't want a $500 million yacht. They don't want a $23 million dollar mansion that you have in Washington DC. What do they want? They want housing that is affordable. They want to be able to put away a few bucks to send their kids to college. Seriously, for every Amazon customer out there and every Amazon employee, thank you from the bottom of my heart, there will probably be a vote this week on a big bill. Included in the bill is $10 billion dollars for new origins, faithless spaces. Come on, I'm going to vote. In a given year, Jeff Bezos, one of the wealthiest people in this country did not pay a nickel in federal income tax. Can you believe it? If you pay more, that makes us way. Amazon made some a lot of money to give years in a way. Absolutely, enough is enough. All right, we're going to create an economy that works for working people, not just billionaires. Let's go forward together. Thank you. Okay, I made a lot of sense and it's about time the mega rich start paying their fair share in income taxes and have the burden come off the middle class and all the tax breaks given to the middle class where they belong. That includes small business owners and self-employed professionals, all middle class people, main street, bomb and pop stores, you name it, it's all middle class. They're the only ones that should be getting tax breaks. I see. I think I understand that. Price gouging. Gee, what can you say about price gouging? They're all doing it. They're doing it with gas prices. They do it. I remember when I was a kid and there was a drought and the price of produce went sky high fruits and vegetables. They all jacked up the price, of course. You couldn't escape it. But the thing is when the drought ended, the prices didn't come down. It took a long time to come down. They did the same thing with the price of beef at one time. Even though they gouged you with the dairy industry, but they do it slowly, they don't like to really jack up the price of milk because then people will stop buying it. You never see the price of milk go down. You never see milk become competitive, competitively priced dairy products. They always tend to blame the dairy union. I want to be quick to blame the dairy union if I had all the facts first. It's just like if you listen to Jeff Bezos go on and on about how they don't need a union that they could solve the problems without a union with Amazon employees. Meanwhile, conditions get worse with Amazon in all ways. Jeff Bezos is not making any improvements to the employees of Amazon. There's your answer in regards to that. Yeah, milk never goes down. It's like never, ever do the competitive companies that put out dairy products ever try to undersell one another. And if they do, it's not by much. It's very little. They do that. I remember my grandmother, my late grandmother used to say it was a sin to waste food. Shame on them. So you're saying it's the US government that causes dairy products to No, no. No, I can't. Well, I can't believe it's only the US government doing this. I'm not a fan of corporate as you well know. Dairy farmers are very wealthy. I used to work for Grant Thornton as a tax manager and can attest to that fact. So they're quick to blame the dairy union. Ronald Terrio is blaming the US government, but the fact is they're price gouging out of greed. Jeff Sambello is a controller. He runs the accounting department for companies. That's his resume. So he knows. He knows. Yeah, I put the link at the beginning, but that's probably way to hell up. Hold on. Hold on, chief. Hold on. I don't know why. All right. Let me know if you get it now. Let me know if you got it now. All right. Let me let me catch up here. The farmers are the greedy ones, not the government. Why compete when you are big companies in cohoops with the US government? Yes, because since at least 1933, the US government and dairy industry collude, Jeff says, Ronald Terrio, the dairy union is a group of dairy farmers who set the price. Oh, it has nothing to do with the employees of the dairy. It is a collusion of the dairy farmers that call themselves a union. It's not a labor union. It is a fat cat, a corporate union of greedy dairy farmers. I know I sent them away. I love you. Okay. I'm at work right now, honey. I'm going to talk to you a little later. Okay. Okay. I'm going to see you tonight. You spent time with daddy. Okay. I love you. Okay. Okay. I'm working right now, honey. I want to come home. Okay. I love you. Bye-bye. All right. Syndicalism, greed for the companies coupled with greed for campaign funds for the US government. Set, right, a set price. Price supports. Yeah, price, price lines their pockets very thickly. Carter abolished that in rail and air travel. The demo, liberal establishment hater, Carter for his deregulation. Well, FDR created regulations for corporations to defang them. And he had good reason. Can you say 200,000 to 700,000 annually? Oh, that's the net profit that the dairy farmers are pulling in. Net, net, net, net, net, net profit. Net. Okay. Dairy employees get paid shit. You know what? You were there. You can attest to it. And I thank you for your very valuable input on my show. Jeff Sandbell. Okay. All right. So we have an agreement in that effect before. So Jimmy Carter deregulated them. What the hell's wrong with that guy? He wasn't like, he wasn't exactly the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree when it came to presidents. I know he was, he was a submarine captain. Well, government corporate collusion. Well, that's the, the, the dictionary's definition of fascism is, is corporate controls government, right? Collusion and price supports and regulation to help runoff mom and pops. Well, they, they, they want to widen the gap between the poor and the rich. You know, that's why in, in countries where they don't give a shit about you, if you're poor, they, there's no social programs like Columbia, South America. I doubt if there's any middle class there, to be honest with you. I highly doubt it. You know, that's like this fascism and there he is. Thomas Middle 75 is with us. Cheers to you. Yeah, they want to, they want to eliminate the mom and pops, main street businesses, small emerging growth companies. So only the fat cats are left. That's why you have all these corporate chains like Petco and PetSmart and Home Depot and Loaves and et cetera, et cetera. And there's no more. What I had, what, what I used to have when I was a kid, the small family owned businesses that they don't exist. And oh, what about the, one of the biggest despicable crooks that ever lived, the mega church pastors, the TV evangelists that need like more than one private jet and, and they don't, they don't give any donations to help the poor whatsoever. They should be taxed. They should be taxed. Egg, egg farmer employees, workers get paid next to nothing. They get chicken feed, in other words. I mean, no pun intended, folks. They get chicken food. All right. They get chicken food. FDR was a big time New York money family guy who framed himself as an enemy of the corporation. Very clever. Just like T, Teddy Roosevelt, another New York big money guy. Well, FDR was a big, he did come from a big money New York state family and he hid his post polio syndrome very well. But I think he was humbled to be progressive, not, not because he was just, you know, that that was what his mind was. And I think it's because his post polio is, his disability humbled him to be progressive and have compassion, even though he didn't have so much compassion for Japanese Americans when he sent them to concentration camps. Small business provided healthy competition against the big box store conglomers. And not only that, Jeff Sanbello, they had expertise. The small hardware stores, there were family members who made it their business to know what they're talking about when they recommended things to customers when they, when they gave great customer service. Yes, you paid a little more money, but you got exactly what you needed. And if they didn't have it in stock, they would order a few. Try doing that at Home Depot. Every time I ask somebody a question at Home Depot, by the way, could I, can you tell me where to find? Go to customer service desk right over there. I don't know if you've ever seen that show called Parks and Recreation with Nick Opperman's character, Ron Swan. But he's a woodworker, even in his real life, the Nick Opperman, the actor. And he goes into a Home Depot, I think it was a Home Depot. And he's walking around and somebody comes up to him with one of those, with one of those vests on from Home Depot and says, can I help you, can I help you find something so I know more than you? Some people just don't need the assistance. Yeah. And I personally feel with the price gouging stuff that I'd rather, especially for me, play musical instruments and stuff, I'd rather buy, I'd rather buy my merchandising online because, you know, the big box store is called Guitar Center. I'm not a huge fan of their prices. I'm not a huge fan of their customer service either. So I'd rather spend money online at retailers. I actually want to spend my money on. Well, that's because you know exactly what model guitar you want. You know what I mean? You know the company and you know the exact model. And you have the number, whatever, the model, the model number, serial number, whatever the hell you call it. And you know what you're going to get. You see, like if you order a fender online at a reasonable price and you know exactly which fender you want, you're going to get that fender guitar. The thing about the retailers is you know, there's a convenience factor if they actually have what you want in stock right there and then now. You're going to wait and pay the shipping and get it in a week or do you want to pay whatever the price is and just have it now, right? What's the convenience of having that product right now, right? Right, exactly. Yeah, well that's another thing with the big corporate chain is they don't have specialty items that people need like Jeff Zambello, perfect example. The hardware stores here don't have the 16-pound iron fence post driving mall hammer. They call it MAUL. It's like a block of iron or steel, whatever, on the end. I think it's iron with a hickory handle. You can't get that here. And if you want it, if you want it, you have to pay several times what it costs in Canada. Jeff paid a fraction of what they wanted because it wasn't something that corporate normally carries on the shelf. Now you have the specialty item. I'm pretty expectable. It wasn't a dime's worth of distance between the GOP and them. Well, yeah, it's a parrot. It's the same parrot with different colored feathers. You got a flock of macaws sitting on a tree branch, some are red, some are blue. They're all macaws. They're all macaws. They're on the tape. He said that they were playing a pantomime long, however, was a want to be socialist dictator and afford himself. Oh, yeah, Huey. I was thinking of... Well, he forgot that the law actually extends to him, too. And he answers by the law, too. He's not above the law. The president is not above the law. The governor is not above the law. They stop to abide by the same amount of laws as every American. A lot of people are power or money to burn. I think they're above the law because of their ego, I suppose. And they do it because they can. That's how they get away with stuff, because they can. Don't we know about that right now in the world? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's a world of chaos because no one is held accountable. No one's feet is held to the fire. Fence, post, maul, hammer. Yes. Yeah. A long, strong, hickory wood handle with a 16-pound block of iron on the end. And, yeah, it costs a lot more money in the states because it's not something Home Depot and Lowe's feels like carrying on the shelf in their on-stock inventory. You know, it's like, all right, you had mom and pop hardware stores that special order for you and they had a lot of, they were very knowledgeable. And that's nice. But what Eric is talking about is getting ripped off by retail. If you have the same guitar online, that's a fraction of what it costs at, what is that, guitar center or Sam or Sam ad? Those are the big box stores. Yeah. I've had bad experiences with both stores. Yeah. Now, for some reason, I have to say, all right, there is the evil Jeff Bezos, Bozo Bezos. Mr. Dr. Evil. Joker's Wildcard. That means, yeah, I don't know, I gotta figure out what's going on. Oh, I got, yeah. Joker's Wildcard means any subject you want to bring up. It could be anything. Like, how you feeling there, Eric Farnfelter? I'm good. Good. Yeah, I don't have COVID-19, generally. That was a doozy. That was a doozy a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, I got my second Moderna booster, the funky cold Moderna Thursday. I'm not getting any more because my sister says, how many damn vaccinations do you need? Yeah, you can end up with a third eye growing out of your forehead. I think the two boosters, I don't know, I don't know all the science tonight, but I think all the vaccinations and then two boosters are probably plenty enough. Yeah, I don't want to get this damn thing every year like the flu shot. No, no, I got enough. Give me a break. I mean, I mean, I mean, luckily, knock on wood, I only had the local pain where the injection went in. You know, but she did it so fast, the nurse. I go, are you sure you got it all in? She says, why? She says, why, you want another one? I go, no. I said, but you did it so fast. You did this and you harpooned me too. I mean, she went, zing! Like I was a Moby's dick or something. Moby's dick is really harpooned me, you know, like the other nurses were gentle. But, you know, luckily, it's the needles now are so thin and I hear they're flat. They're very thin and flat and so they cause less pain to today's needles. And when you, when they take blood, there's this little super thin needle that you don't feel that goes into your vein and it has like these butter, plastic butterfly wings on the side and they just keep filling the tubes up. When I was a kid, they had a big harpoon syringe and they had to hold it into your vein with their hand and if it moves, it hurt. That was the old, the old situation. Now, yeah, so Jordy was here and Jordy was fine, but he split. He wasn't upset. Maybe you'll come back or maybe you won't. But anyway, I played his song at the beginning of the show. Yeah, so that was good. He's doing really good with his, I guess, new age techno or whatever genre is called. So how, any, you had any exotic new craft beers between last night and today? Oh, holy crap. Exotic? Not really. I mean, I'm drinking one. I haven't had anything super new. I'm drinking one from, I'm drinking this one here currently with some pizza. It's going down pretty good. It's called a Goodie, two shoes from exhibit A in Framingham, Massachusetts. It's a Kosh style ale. There you go. So Kosh style ale being that they brewed an ale with the ale yeast strain, but they are, it's brewed at a colder temperature like a lager would be. So it has more characteristics of a cleaner sort of a lager taste with the ale yeast. But a Kosh, or to actually be called a Kosh, it's got to be brewed in the region of Kosh in Germany, where it's illegally called a Kosh. So only in America can you call it a Kosh style ale. But if you like, and I'll be like loggers and crisper kinds of beers, you'll probably like this one. It's four, I don't know what it is, it's 4.5%. It goes with pizza. So nice, easy drinking stuff. No, adjunct flavors, none of that, just super refreshing and clean. And I guess it goes with a Massachusetts bar style pizza with the crispy edges. I always love lager. Like you say, it has a clean, crisp, refreshing taste. And is it bottom fermenting? So no. So again, what happens is a Kosh is trying to, they're using an ale yeast, which is a top fermenting, and they're trying to do the fermentation at the colder temperatures like you would a lager. So they're trying to mimic brewing, almost kind of mimic the loggering style with ale yeast. So you get a slight touch more from the ale yeast to get more slightly fruitier style flavors. And ale yeast, ales typically are, they have a bigger or quicker turnover. You can brew an ale a lot quicker than a lager, because a lager comes from that word lagering, where you have to store it for some time for it to do its thing. But this one has a slight, maybe like lemony kind of fruitiness to it and a lot of biscuity. Your pills and their cracker emuls with that clean refreshing finish to it. So it's very good with pizza. It's got the multi backbone to match well with pizza and pepperoni. So it's pretty good. Is that because the colder temperature lager takes longer? I believe so, yep. Or is it also the type of yeast used? Both. A combination of both. A little combination of both, yep. But cream ales are sort of very similar to Colch's, the same sort of idea where it's a hybrid of that ale and lager. Your hair looks black. I know. I gotta get an haircut. This thing is not cooperating. No, it's black. Did you color it black for oxblood forage for the evening? No, this is my natural hair color. This is my natural hair. Oh, I thought you had like a reddish brown or something like that. Well, it looks good. Thank you all. Yeah, we're eating. Yeah, I'm eating pizza from a new place. Your piece waxes, your mustache waxes coming in. Thank you. Oh, you got a call. Man, baby. What do you really think of Jeff Bezos? Well, it's not like bear babies are people that get offended very easily at the drop of a hat and you got to work on it, Jeff. Oh. You know, like a certain someone, like V.C. still up because I put his sleeping photo of him doing Rip Fam Winkle imitation in the middle of the wheel. And he's still mad about it. But, you know, he's what he's posting on everything is food now. So I guess he's getting over it. I know Michael Hilton is I can't keep up with Michael. I can't keep up with Michael Hilton. No, I mean, now it's like I haven't seen his video, you know, any of his videos in a long time because it started nice. I love you. I'm sorry. I had to I'm sorry. I had to get off the phone, but I was trying to concentrate on something. But I really love when you call me at work. I really love when my son, my son Michael calls me at work. I love it. It makes me happy when I'm at work and I hear your voice. Because I know you love your daddy. All right. I don't get back to work, but I'll see you tonight. Okay. I love you. Bye bye. What was I talking about? Man, babe. Oh, Michael Hilton. It's starting to sound more like gibberish. That's why I stopped listening to him. You're absolutely right, Eric. You're absolutely right. Yeah. And then, you know, it's just like it's about the same things or constantly the same. So it gets boring after a while. He doesn't talk about any other subjects. So I stopped listening. So I don't know what's going on with him. But he doesn't want to do the panel thing anymore. He doesn't want to have fellowship with anyone else. So it's just solo shows and now he's walking in the park with his sunglasses bobbing up and down as he's walking. So is there a little narcissism there? Perhaps. Perhaps. Maybe. But yeah, snowflake man babies are very sensitive and they should really not be so thin skinned. I mean, it could be anything. It could be. Hey, look who's back. Jordy. We got Jordy. We got Eric is here. Oh, Eric, yo. I got some vodka and I got some Pepsi. So I'm going to have a vodka and Pepsi, but I also got a beer here. You know, I got this much vodka. Vodka and cola, not not rum and cola, but vodka and cola. Vodka and cola. Yeah, never heard of that. Never heard of it, man. What would be very refreshing is to have a tangerine gin and tonic, but ice cold. The tangerine gin and tonic would be very refreshing. I watched Tom Mulvill, the beer whispers dirty martini video. He did a dirty martini video and he was, you know, he was. Yeah, he was of his three. He was of his main. He said his martini was stirred, not shaken. And dirty martini is simply pour a little of the brine in that the olives. Oh, yeah. Yeah, little brine, you know, and from the jar. Yo, what's up, Eric? How you doing, dude? Cheers to you, bro. Fine. Yeah, I got a I already got I already got I'm already in and out of getting the coronavirus. That was fun. That was fun two weeks ago. Oh, you got the coronavirus? Oh, fucking hell, dude. They gave me the 500 drug to treat the thing. So that was good. Is that the antivirus, the antivirus drug? Was it a blue, a blue tablet, by the way? You get three of them. They make you take three tablets for, they make you take three tablets two times a day, three in the evening, three in the morning, and three in the evening. Wait a minute, wait a minute. I did six. Six tablets a day? No, three. Yes. Yeah, for the whole thing. One in the morning. Okay, I got you. Three in the morning, three in the evening. So so so two of the pills are the effective part of the antiviral medication. They give you another third separate pill that you need to take because and I'm probably I'm probably saying this a little backward. So I apologize. But you need this third tablet that comes in the dosage because your I think it's like your stomach lining or the acid in your stomach can break down the act the active ingredient that's trying to do its job in the antiviral medicine. So without that thing trying to block the acid in your body trying to trying to break down the drug that thing that that antiviral medication would be basically useless. Thomas Meadows 75 talking about beer and he also has a fucking music page. What is your band plug your band? Thank you, George. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm in a band called Oxblood Forge. Go look up that on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, this little website called Bandcamp. We're playing next Saturday in Somerville, Massachusetts, US of A. Yeah, go check us out. So if you like, I don't know, Iron Maiden in Black Sabbath. I love Iron Maiden. Very good stuff. My favorite song from Iron Maiden is The Fallen Angel. Oh, yeah, that's my favorite song from Iron Maiden. The Fallen Angel. Yeah. I'm not really into a bunch of like really up and becoming new stuff. I haven't not been a bunch that I don't know. I mean, I'm not really that old. We're not both of us aren't really that old, but I don't know. I don't think the music industry is quite the same as it was. I think more times you're getting these individual artists like you're Miley Cyrus's, you're Justin Bieber. Thomas, the one name person that's the one that's getting, although it's not bands that are getting something. It's not these individual bands that are getting, that are getting in order. You know, I'm 26. I'm 26. What is your year, Thomas? I'm turning 34 next Friday. Shit, really? You're in your fifties? Yeah, 34. Yeah, you don't look that man. You're younger. I go. All right. You're fucking 28 or something. Thank you. We got the new pizza. Good bar pizza in Salad Company. There you go. Yeah, we have this thing in the southeastern part of, well, they call it the South Shore. So like south of Boston, basically in Massachusetts, they do these things called bar pizzas, where they're not really, they're not really like pan, thick pan pizzas, a little bit smaller than that. You get a small like 10, 12 inch pizza, and they typically have a really crispy edge to them. And the pizza goes all the way to that edge. So very crispy, good stuff. Yeah, product of Massachusetts. Enjoy, Thomas. Enjoy. Yeah, Jeff. Jeff is originally from Boston. Eric is in southeastern Massachusetts, I guess, going towards New Bedford.

Thank you, James. Yeah, I mean, Night Energy, this is my band. We released a new album a few months back. And the album, we added a new album, Night Energy, Clubs, Love and Drugs, Vampire Dust, StoneSix, and I don't know, 100 times, I don't know, a little minute or so. All right, more music, because games ain't here to stop. All right. Okay. 1983, all right. What was that song? I like that one. I like that one. Oh, yeah, if I can't, it's not copyright free. There's a lot of great songs. I don't want any problems. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want you to get any copyright strikes or anything. No, no, no, no. It's really, they'll take the video, they'll pull the video or the sound. Yeah, it's not what I thought. All right, fuck that shit. Yeah, let's see. Does the Commodore speak? Yeah, but he's at work now. He's doing... I have never heard that Commodore speaks. He's always silent. Commodore, put your fucking makeup on. No, it's on. It's on. He's just... Hey, Commodore, you're awesome. I'm very jealous, I'm very jealous of your body. I wish I had an Arnold Schwarzenegger body like you. You know, I'm a skinny skeleton, motherfucker. You know, I'm a skeleton. I wish I had an Arnold Schwarzenegger body like you do. The Commodore is, he was good. He has an Arnold Schwarzenegger body. An Arnold Schwarzenegger body. Yeah. I heard Arnold was very cheap with his friends. He used to have alligator arms. Oh, jeez. He had long arms and no short arms and deep pockets when he came to his friends. Oh, he helped everybody out, huh? Fucking hell, really? Well, when he was younger, he used to give bad advice, like he would tell the young guys trying to get tips from him. He would tell them when you get up on stage during a contest, you have to scream as loud as you can every time you flex. The judges like that. Yeah, okay. And that screwed them up, yeah. It sounds like solid advice, don't it? Solid advice. How will be that name? Yeah, I know that song. How will be that name? My favorite Iron Maiden song is The Fallen Angel. The Fallen Angel by Iron Maiden. My sister was playing on her big, her new big screen TV issues. She played a deep purple song on YouTube. I'm trying to remember what it was. It wasn't, I think it's one of the first songs, yeah. One of the first song back in the day songs. Oh, it works, it works. It works. When they first started out, there were early songs, so like, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sounds great. What was it called? That's pretty cool. No, that was green. Who thought that was green? No, that was green. That was green, green with the air air. Sunshine for your love. What is that song? I've been waiting so long. Yeah, that's the sunshine of your love by the band. That's the sunshine of your love by the band Cream. Cream, sunshine for your love. Yeah, yeah, that's all. Oh, yeah. Yeah. James, straight on your kazoo. I like a magic carpet ride, but... Magic carpet ride. Yeah, that's a lot of stuff on it. Yeah. Steppenwolf. Steppenwolf. James, straight on your kazoo. Straight on your kazoo. I can give it a shot. All right, let me try it. Yeah, let me go back to... Waiting for my love. Oh, yeah. Oh, man, I love that circus, circus, circus, circus. Circus, circus, circus. It was on a crazy train. Vampire dust. Vampire dust. I smell the blood. I smell the blood. Vampire dust. I guess Eric Fraun felt there was making faces like he was eating lemons. Like he was eating lemons while I was playing the kazoo. Does he have a kazoo phobia or...? He has a kazoo phobia. A kazoo phobia. Kazoo upsets his lyre rhythm or something. Cheers, cheers, cheers. You know, people, if you tuned in late and you're here in a kazoo, it's only if you did not watch the show from the beginning. We sink our piranatis into deep subjects. We get very serious when we have to. But it is an open topic. It's an open topic. No rules. Anything goes, show. There's no, there's no, you know what? It's like a hot air balloon. You know, you're up there and you can't, you can go up or down, but you can't change. James, you have a goofy drunk Scotsman on the panel. Yeah, the wind blows you around and, you know, we can talk about banger sausages, black pudding sausages. We can talk about Haggis. It's too bad your friend don't hang with you anymore. The one that I met. Oh, Zoe? Yeah, she's pretty friendly. Oh, I miss her. Yeah, she was, I was dating. That was like, that was a check that I was dating. By the way, you know, she, she found the new buttercup? Oh, yeah. And you're the old buttercup, right? Well, this, this buttercup that she's got is a fucking prick. Wait, wait, she's downgrading from me. Hit it that way. Wait, other way to shout about, like, she's downgrading from me. She wanted, she was, she was like a lot of young females. She wanted the bad boy, the sleazy bad guy image. Exactly. Even though you are a performing artist and you have nice looking shades on, it wasn't, it wasn't, you're not bad enough. Yeah, I'm too kind. I'm too kind. I'm too kind. It's like Eric, see, Eric is like, similar to me. There you go there, Erdinger. He's in a heavy metal band, but he's, he's generally a nice guy. But he, but he's in a heavy metal band. Yeah, that's for sure. They say nice guys, they say nice guys finish last, but uh, I don't know about that. Eric, I've seen your beer reviews. You're a fucking terrific beer reviewer and you're a fucking cool guy. You're awesome, Eric. The most beer reviewer. Keep it up, by the way. Keep it up. He's single more. You're cool. You're awesome. He's single beer reviewer. I suppose the more you, you, you get comfortable. I may be drunk, I may be drunk, but Eric, you're awesome. Thank you. Listen, his solo beer reviews are second to none. I've watched them. Massachusetts beer review with Eric, with Eric is second to none in beer reviews. I know a lot of people think that. Buona sera. Buona note. Now when it comes to beer, but buona sera to you. Buona sera. Buona sera. Hey, buona sera. Do you know what that means? No, I don't know. Hey, buona sera. It's Italian. I know. I'm doing a stereotypical Italian. Buona sera means good afternoon. Buona note means good night. That always cleans up my sinuses when I do that. Hey, buona sera. Hey, buona sera. Hey, buona sera. Buona sera. Oh, that opens me up nice. All right, let's get back to Eric. All right, Sticks, what are you back to me? Wow, this is the, what is this, 5.3 percent? It's the Erdinger, the Erdinger Weisbier. Erdinger Weisbier. It is from, it's from somewhere in Germany. Erdinger. Yeah, 1.3 percent from Germany. It's brewed in Germany according to the Berberian puerty law. Which apparently came out in the year 1516, that law that says, basically the law says in Germany, beer can only be made out of four different ingredients, water, hop, yeast, and malt. So this is a Hefeweisbier, which is a German style wheat beer. And you're going to get a lot of, you're going to get the banana notes. You're going to get some, some baking spices kind of notes. You're going to get, obviously the wheat element you're going to get, maybe some lemonyness. And enjoy, enjoy it. A little caramel toffee, but very bready, like almost like banana, almost like banana nut bread, kind of sort of. Oh, really? Super good. Good. During a 70 degree Fahrenheit day here in southeastern Massachusetts, perfect kind of a beer for nice weather finally here. The first day of May, got some good weather. That's why I went outside just now, because bright sunshine with a good look at beer. The beer is definitely more lemony yellow. It looks kind of golden over here, right? Almost kind of on the top. That beer is still good and looks so good. Let's see, let's see. Can you tell it's a little, yeah, it's a little more lemony yellow, but it kind of comes across more, I don't know. Yeah. Amber, amber, amber. But it's definitely not, I mean, it's, it's a little darker than gold, but it's more of a golden color. Not, not. It's like an amber color. He's, he's the amber color with a segue here. I was just going to say that it's, it is definitely not opaque. At all. But yeah, that's one of the better representations of a, of a hepivison. I would say it's a medium towards a thin body, but medium, crisp, clean, ultra refreshing. Again, it does really good for the hepivison style. Well, that is a wheat beer. That is a wheat beer, right? I'll give it a 94. Yes, hepivison is a style, is a German style of wheat beer. Yeah. 94, I really like this stuff. That's why I loved my favorite wheat beer was the German Aventinus. This is the exact same style. Like Aventinus, it's a, but, but, but if I had a like a domestic wheat beer, I hate it. Enjoy it, Thomas. Definitely nothing like, it's something like that Belgian white, the blue moon. It's nothing like that. That's a whole different kind of wheat beer. Yeah, okay. But 94, I like this beer. Pretty good. There we go. Yeah. Cool. Thomas Meadow did a beer review there. There you go. That's right. That's right. Hopefully the, the woods will be picked up. The woods will bloom and all the trees will look nice and green before you know it. Oh yeah. The, right now the posies are around, right? The blossoms. Mm-hmm. All the posies. They're starting to come out. Yup. Yeah. You know, like the dogwood trees, the cherry blossoms, the, uh, the tulips, tulips, you know, like the vagina, the tulips. Oh Jesus. I got a lot of birch trees in my backwoods. Yeah. Maybe you can make birch trees. Maybe. There's some wild spearmint that grows over there. I don't know. I'm not going to be making Wrigley's gum anytime soon. Oh yeah. Spearmint is not really for tea. No. It's, uh, it's like you say has other purposes. The, the active ingredient in spearmint is methyl solicitate. Wow. And they, they put it in, um, you know, you ever see the green rubbing alcohol? And then there's, that's there's messing. Green rubbing alcohol. Yeah. They put it also in, in liniments. A peppermint is actually a hybrid. Green rubbing alcohol. Between spearmint and another mint, but you know, uh, peppermint does not make seeds. Peppermint, um, just travels, you know, it takes over the yard. It keeps on. What about licorice? Fluidin. Licorice plant, um, well you can't. You could overdose some licorice. Uh, uh, Ronald Terrio was playing in one time, but German lady was eating too much licorice, and she had a toxicity, a certain toxicity occurring in her body. Yeah. That's why when you grow peppermint, they recommend grow it in tubs. You know, get like these like five gallon buckets or something. And, uh, because, uh, you know, take yard open. Then we'll take your yard open. Yeah. Okay. All right. Pro wrestling. It's not real, but. Guys, can't make it out of wrestling because I don't know, I don't, I don't know personally. I don't know anything about fucking wrestling. So can't make it out of wrestling. Who the fuck was that guy on, on, on, on, on, on the wheel? Who was that guy in the wheel? Jeff Bezos, the owner of, uh, owner of Amazon. Jeff Bezos. Yeah, Jeff Bezos. Owner of Amazon? Yeah, and Amazon. Oh, okay. Well, I wish, I wish the rumors about the night, American nightclub Cody Rose is not, true because he, uh, he left. They weren't treating him right. So he left WWE and created AEW or yeah. And then he left. He wanted to come back to WWE for one last chance and, uh, he told them. Yeah. But, you know, put me over good with the, I heard rumors that Vince McMahon wants to like humiliate him and start telling him that he's got to lose matches. I don't think he's going to tolerate that. He's, I think he's going to go right back to AEW. But, um, I, I, I missed the old school wrestling of the territories. You know, it was a lot different back then, a lot different. But, uh, if, uh, if Ronnie Simpson was here, uh, we would go on. You know, he knows a lot about wrestling, um, and, uh, Rhonda Rousey, um, that's, uh, that's UFC, right? Yeah. But she's in the WWE now. And I heard she's going to, uh, they might, they might make her the new world champion. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Hey, Chrissie. She's a referee. Love you. Okay. I'm going to go down the stairs and I'm going to grab a vodka and coke. Ow. With a vodka and coke. I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to don't give a fuck. Well, I got, I can hear a pin drop here by me. Yeah, that's me. Yeah, nobody, uh, you're the pin. Not, not the pin head, not the pin head, but you're the pin. I'm the pin head. Okay. But I'll be right, I'll be right back in a second. Yep. That's okay. Yeah. So, uh, so how's your, um, you told me your brother's got a nice smoker, huh? Uh, yeah. He knows how to, he knows how to use that thing. Yeah. Yeah. Well, he didn't, he didn't win, he didn't win our, uh, the beef brisket off. No, he did not win that, but he came in second place. We got a better, we got a better, we got a better brisket with better smoke rings off of a charcoal grill than he did from his smoker box. I don't know how that happened. Well, how many people, um, how many people were in this contest? There were just, there were just three different people. Oh, okay. Yeah. My sister-in-law's mother did one, my father did one, and my brother did one. My father ended up winning and he doesn't, we don't have a smoker box at my house. We just have a, uh, we just have a, um, charcoal grill and we, and we put the charcoal in a snake pattern. I guess that's the trick or the key or whatever. So that worked. And then you have to, you have to make sure that you're maintaining a consistent temperature or like 250, 260, or make sure that the coals don't go out if you're using a, if you're using charcoal or it, or in my brother's case, make sure that your wood pellets or whatever you're using in the smoker isn't going, isn't going out. Well, once you, once you, once you establish the cherry red coals, that, well, I, I, I like the firewood because they stay cherry red. They don't, they don't turn white and, and, and disintegrate like bouquets. So, you know, using old fashioned wood charcoal or firewood and, and you got, you established the, the red wood, the red coal, then you can put fresh wood or fresh coals on top of that. You can keep feeding it. You don't, you don't have to start the process. You don't have to start the process all over again. You just keep putting fresh coals on top of it. Um, right. Now a smoker would be, would have the, the wood on one side with the, with the, the water bowl for some steam and then you, you can put like a aluminum tin of wood chips soaked in water. So it slowly smolders. Yeah. My brother had the smoker box that he has. It's got a little reservoir that you could, that you put the wood chips in it or the pellets, should I say. He was, I forget what he was, I forget what he said he was using. I mean, he might have, he might have said it was like a combination of, he was using hickory and I think he said peach, peach wood, which I've never heard of using. That's on pretty good. Yeah. I, I mean, I love peaches in general as a fruit, but I don't know what, what the wood does to the the flavoring. I've heard of apple wood, mesquite, hickory, cherry. Yeah. My brother gave, my brother had bought a container, this plastic container of these bourbon barrel blocks that he was going to try to put him in. He was going to try to put it into his smoker box and use them that way, but the blocks, I mean, he could cut them up, I suppose, right, but the blocks are too big to actually fit in that reservoir that you put the pellets. So we added, we actually took some of those that he gave us and we put a couple on the actual charcoal grill while it was, while the brisket was going, just to give, just to give it a little bit of a different smoky flavor and a little bit of a sweetness, because actually if you smell those blocks, it, it certainly smells like that, like a barrel from that bourbon was resting and certainly has a sweetness to it. Yeah. I think it's fascinating that, that old broken in barrels that were used for fermenting one type of beverage are, are leased out or rented out to other companies to make other fermented beverages, like the, like a bourbon barrel, IPA, or, or a, I mean, it could be anything really. They're all like sharing these barrels, charred. It's, what they, they start off charring the inside of the oak barrel and then they just, yeah. Well, well for bourbon to be called bourbon, it has to be aged in new unused, an unused, well, let me, let me, let me say it this way. It's got to be aged in, in new, new white American oak and there's different levels of charring that can be done to the barrels. One of the bigger charring stages, I forget if they call it char number four or something, there's one that's called, I think it's called an alligator char, where if you looked at the inside of the barrel, it would almost be kind of, I would almost remind you of, of the way that an alligator skin looks like. And the whole reasoning, I think for charring, the whole reasoning, I believe for charring to be inside of a barrel that much is just think about it. Not only is it going to have some of that char flavor to it, right? The whiskey at the end of the day, or there's going to be more area where the whiskey can get into the barrel and soak up in between all those char marks and can really soak up into that barrel and really get concentrated barrel flavor. Well, you know, white oak seems to be a very popular type of oak in the south because this guy, I know that works with wood. He has a business involved in woodworking. He uses white oak. Actually, it's the only oak he can get in Texas locally. And he uses hickory too, but he said that hickory is more durable than oak. He explained what happens when you split, when you split oak, it, when you, when you break oak, it splinters. When you, when you break hickory, it slowly splits. Like it's not like an even crack and it's broke. It's like, it's like slowly breaks, you know, right? It takes a bit. So he says as far as durability go, he said hickory is one of the best hardwoods. But the, it's interesting, the bourbon, now once the bourbon barrel has been used for making bourbon for let's say 20 or 30 years, can you, can you continue to use that broken chart bourbon barrel of white oak? You can. It's, it's not, you're not able, you're not able to call it, you're not able to call the product that comes out of the second use of that barrel. You're not able to call it bourbon legally. Okay. So, so they have, so there's another company, there's another company in, I think probably Kentucky, they're called mixtures. I think I think it's spelled M-I-T-C-H-E-R, apostrophe S. They have a whiskey they call a Mikter's American whiskey. Now that's a whole another style of whiskey where, where in the case of Mikters, they're using a previously used oak barrel in the making of their whiskey. And because it may be, it may fit all the other legal, legal definitions. It may fit the legal definition in all other aspects for it to be called a bourbon. But the minute they use a previously used barrel, they can't call it bourbon anymore. So they, so these companies, so these distilleries that make strictly bourbon have to sell off their barrels after the batch is done, after the bourbon is bottled and it's empty, they sell it. If they want to, if they're, well, again, if they want to continue to make a product called bourbon, they do, yeah. I mean, if they wanted to make American whiskey, they could keep using those barrels if they wanted. The, another thing that happens is, is a great deal of the, of the Scotch whiskey industry and Irish, Irish whiskey industry. And probably even like the Indian, the country of India, probably even their, their whiskey too, but especially in Scotland, in Ireland, they acquire so much of our used bourbon barrels. You've, most of, most of their, most of the Scotch whiskeys have probably been aged in an ex bourbon barrel to be completely honest. Yeah. Yeah. So they can, so they can, well, they all use oak as their choice of wood. So I mean, if it's a charred barrel and other people want to purchase barrels, I guess they can, they can sell it to anybody. I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, you're right, Jordy. I gotta, I gotta a vodka and coke and I gotta, a, a, a, a, a, a, a smoke. A bath. Sorry. I can't. I can't. Coke and smoke. And a smoke. It sounds in a good Coke and smoke. Fuck your Coke and smoke. Fuck your Coke. New jazz. I've got a, I've got a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a smoke, a smoke, a, a smoke. I've got a vodka and coke and I've got a smoke. I can't talk. I can't talk, guys. He's got a vodka and smoke. He's got a vodka and smoke. He's got a vodka, coke and smoke. Yeah. And I'm drunk as a skunk and I don't give a fuck. And like, I will be, you know, and that's why James, James, you're awesome. You know, Commodore, you're awesome. Eric, you're awesome. You know, I love you guys. You, you, you guys are awesome. You know, cheers. You're drunk as a skunk and you're ready to take, um, well, yeah, thank you. Thank you. Performing artists, Jordy K. Thank you, James P. Madonna, for having me. We also have performing artists. We also have performing artists, drum playing and guitar playing extraordinaire, Eric, foreign, foreign filter of Oxblood Forge. We have two before me. Where? Where? Where? Anthony Manty. Oh, Anthony Manty. Oh, guys, I'm fucked. I'm fucked. Yeah. I mean, I can, I can barely talk, but I'm fucking screwed. I'm fucked. I'm drunk. I'm high. You know, I can barely talk. But like, yeah, I'm fucked, bro. You're screwed. I'm drunk as a skunk and I don't give a fuck. That's it. Oh, yeah. What does, uh, what does beer man say? Oh, the lactation in my mouth, the creaminess when I drink this beer, the sensation of a healthy cow's gigantic nipple in my mouth. Oh, God, what? The creaminess, the creaminess, the beer man. His beer grows faster than anyone I've ever seen. I mean, I remember when he shaved it and then all of a sudden falling back to Santa Claus again. I'm on a live stream. No, I don't think he shaved on a live stream. Oh, that would be cool. Shave on a live stream. Shave on live stream. You know, it'd be even funnier if he shaved on live stream using the meringue on a lemon meringue pie. Well, what? Stick in his hand in the meringue of a lemon meringue pie. Meringue and just do it. You going bye-bye? You going bye-bye? You're not feeling well, right? Oh, oh, your girlfriend is here. You're muted. I don't know what the hell you're saying. All right. I think you did it. Say bye-bye. Michael Hilton, that funky Hilton. Brass monkey, that Michael Hilton. We should get him on the stream somehow. Yeah, let me see if I can get him on the stream. We're doing an NA beer discussion. Let me see. Oh, gosh. We're drinking Heineken zero, Michael. Old Smith. What happened? He took his, I'll be darned. He took his... He's got that weird channel now on YouTube where he talks about toxicity. I'm blocked. Wait a minute. I can't message. No, he blocked me the best. Well, he's not coming on the air stream anytime soon. He's mad because I told him something honestly, you know, something truthful, and I guess he didn't like the way it sounded. Oh boy, truth hurts him. Yeah, I mentioned something. He'd like to talk about walking on eggshells. He's like the most sensitive man, baby. Yeah, it's a little bit. Yeah, he still owes you 50 bucks for that. He's never going to give me $50 for a headset microphone he never used. He used it once. Listen, he's got money to live in that fancy condo with a swimming pool and do whatever he does socially. Then he doesn't, you know, he's what you call a totally fucked up and a head individual. That's pretty much working. He's lost case. I could try to give him a link if he wants to join. I don't know if this is going to work. Yeah, he's under Goldsmiths now. He messages me all the time from his Instagram. Let's see. Actually, I don't even see him anymore. Oh, he really bought because I don't see him on YouTube, you know, any of his notifications. Oh, wow. It said on Facebook Messenger via his Instagram account that he was active now. We'll see if he notices the link. He's active now. Yeah, he doesn't, you don't do Facebook anymore. He just does Instagram for whatever reason. I mean, Facebook owns Instagram. He says this at March 10th. There. March 10th, he said. New channel. New channel? He keeps on trying to read it. New channel. The new channel is. Right. Oh, well, then you click on it and it says this video has been removed by the uploader. Western Mike, I thought. I told you channels already gone. Maybe his channel is already gone again. I told him instead of calling it Western Mike, you should call it West Coast Mike, because when they read the word Western, they think of cowboys. You know, they don't think of San Francisco. They don't think of California. Maybe. West Coast. You know, you'd be surprised that a lot of people don't put much thought into a lot of things they do. I mean, you know, you've got to think of a name for your channels. Take the time to think of a good one. I mean, yours is easy because you're still the original native beer reviewer from the state of Massachusetts. So, you know, that's Massachusetts beer review. I mean, it doesn't matter. John and Ellie moved there. No, he's not changing his name. He's not changing his name from Georgia beer reviews anytime soon. Yeah, he's from Georgia. He's from Georgia, Georgia beer reviews. I mean, Jean Pierre is from New Jersey, but he moved to Mobile, Alabama. Now he's living in Georgia. Yeah. You know, he's still, I don't think, I don't know. What does he call his review? It's just his name. Jean Pierre beer reviews. It's just his name. John Pierre, I believe, is what his YouTube channel is. He didn't really give it a name. John H Pierre or something like that. Where's H Hamilton? I don't know. John Pierre Hamilton. Sounds very sophisticated. Yeah, I don't think Michael's coming on, but maybe he'll see the Lincoln try to join in like an hour or not even live anymore. I told him, man. I told him. He was talking. He was talking Red Pill talk, Alpha Male Red Pill. I says, you want to talk Alpha Male Red Pill? Come on board. Goodbye, Commodore. I never heard you speak yet. Not once, but on the phone. Cheers. Yeah, his son's kept on calling him. You know, I'm so glad I don't have any kids because I, every time, every time I have someone with kids on the show, their family's always interrupting them like constantly. It's almost like they don't care if they're live streaming. They're completely selfish and especially if they're young. But apparently these are older kids. Michael has seen, Michael Goldsmith has seen my message. We'll see what he says. We'll see what he does, right? Let's see what he does. Somebody's grilling. I can smell somebody grilling up some hamburgers. It's nice weather. Super nice weather today. Well, yeah. It's, you know what? I don't want to say it too loud, but I'm sure it'll be loud enough. Well, not going on for the past several days. It's been bone dry, clear, no clouds in the sky, no rain, cool temperature and sunny. It's been the ideal perfect barbecue. I think it's opposed to rain coming up tomorrow. Yeah, barbecue weather. Barbecue weather and time for, time for lighting, time for lighting the fire pit outside. You should hang up some like bamboo wind chimes and maybe a solar powered bird bath. You know, they have this solar powered bird bath that makes the sun makes a fountain, squirt water in the center of the bird bath. Let me see. I can, I can show you something. He's got rain done. Settings. I can show you something. Alex the beer master, Bader must have rained too down there. Yeah. There was a rain delay in the Boston Red Sox game earlier this afternoon with Baltimore. It was raining pretty bad. Oh, they're playing the Orioles at Fenway. No, Camden Yard, it's Baltimore. Oh, they're down there. Okay. Going over here. Here we go. Oh, yeah. You got a pond. Oh, you got a fish in there. Yeah. You got a koi, a little, a little kidney shaped koi pond. Those are, those are goldfish that grew from 20 cents to that size. Yeah, they're comets. They're feed, they call them feeders in a pet shop. Yeah. Yep. They're, you know, you could pick out, they have baby comets, 20 cent baby comets that are, they have the same coloration as a lot of koi. You can pick like red and white, yellow and whites. And there's also, there's a pretty little minnow called, it's called a Chinese, a Chinese white cloud minnow that lives in, it can live in cold temperatures in a pond. I wonder how far I can go on my wifi connection here in the forest. Let's see. Yeah. Oh, I see way, way, way yonder. Wait, did I see, did I see, like, did I see chicken wire on top of the pond? Is that for the raccoons? That's just to keep out birds. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's just plastic mesh. It's just to keep out bird, like primarily it's used to keep out debris and stuff from clogging up the pond and making it dirty. But it'll also keep out any animals or birds or whatever, because once in the blue moon, if we drain that pond to clean it out, once in a blue moon, you may see something that looks like a squirrel or a chipmunk in there. Well, you know, raccoons will also grab your bullfish and kill them. Yeah. You know, if you put, if you put a bullfrog tadpole in there, it will become a frog and it will actually hang, hang out near that pond. You can't see it way down that way. And I don't want to lose wifi connection, but there's a natural, like, I don't know. I guess you would call that a swampy area. Like a marsh pool down there. Yeah, basically. It's probably a lot of very marshy area down that way. There's probably a lot of salamanders hibernating right now down there. Oh, I would guess. You know, there you go. You can sort of kind of see it. Okay. You know what your yard is perfect for? And you, you're missing the, you're missing the opportunity. You could buy live mushroom spores online and grow, grow culinary mushrooms in, in, in, where it's shade in, in, in there where it's completely shaded. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All kinds of mushroom, culinary mushrooms. Yep. Yes, sir. On the tree, on the trees, on a tree, just on one of these big trees. Yeah. And I mean, which includes shiitake, maitake, oyster mushroom, portobella. Yeah, I know, I know some of them are medicinal, but others are culinary. I know the oyster mushroom is awesome. Yeah. And the portobellas are great if you marinate them and put them on the grill. Hell yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, that, that, that black garlic that they use in Japan, that is tasty as hell. I put that in the noodles. Nice. That fermented black garlic. It's a nice, it's a nice, it's a nice yard you got there. You got decent property. Oh, oh, oh. You know, I mean, you could, you can, you got to have two grills, charcoal, charcoal. Yes. Yes. I'm surprised. Are you able. Bourbon barrel. Oh, yeah. Bourbon barrel. There you go. So you could have, you can have a little outdoor barbecue parties with the group. Yeah. Like let's say, let's say you have something to sell them. Oh, by the way, did, did you, did you guys go down and play Delaware yet? No, that's happening in September. Oh, yeah, because I know that's the weekend of September 15th, I believe. Yeah, because yeah, I 95 is not far from where I live. It's close. All right. Come on down to Delaware. Woo. It's not far. All right. You want to do that. And if you go, you go over to GW on the second exit over to GW and, and, and, and what's what do you call dingbats is about 20 minutes west of as soon as you get over to GW and you see interstate route 80 is 20 minutes west. That's where dingbats is. All right. I've heard, I've heard a lot about that place. Yeah. That's like, that's like a heavy metal uh, uh, paradise for, for heavy metal bands. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, baby. Well, there's the grand tour. Oh, there's a uh, grand tour. Yeah. Well, the neighborhood, the neighborhood is nice though. It really is. It's very, I got a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek in a, what do they call that sun set orange? There you go. Wow. Look at that. No, I mean the property is all paid off for this year. No, I mean the neighborhood looks really nice. Nice residential area. Let's say no cars are going to run me over, right? Okay. No sidewalk in the middle of the road. When you see, when you don't see a sidewalk, oh no, there is a sidewalk. Whoa. Airplane. Yeah, we go right over Logan airport where, where these planes are going down. Oh, so when the planes land at Logan, they go right over where you live. There they are. There it is. Yeah. Logan, but you're not really, I mean, you're still far from Boston. Yeah. A half an hour, 40 minutes south of Boston. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's the capital of state, right? America. So the government. Yes. So the state governor's office is in Boston. Yep. There's the tour. All right. There's the tour. Nice. There's the tour. Back to the garage. Now has, let's see, the red socks get rid of, I know they, I know they while Mookie Betts is with Los Angeles. He moved over to the Dodgers and we acquired outfield. We acquired a couple of things. The main part of the acquisition was outfielder Alex Verduga, which has turned out to be a pretty nice acquisition. Oh, hell yeah, dude. Yeah, we're playing Wilmington, Delaware. Let me check. I think that's September 16th. It's that third week of, second or third week of September. I can, let me double check that. Let's see. Checking now. September 16th. We're in Delaware. September 17th. We go to North Carolina. And then we have the travel back to Massachusetts the day after. So September 16th, Bart Robinson. We are in Wilmington, Delaware. I could probably tell you the name of a club, I bet. It's called, the club is called Bar X II. So that's what, Bar 13. I think it's what it's called Bar 13. We're going to be playing with, so we're playing Bar 13, The Age of Truth. We're on tour with our buddies, Morn the Light. They invited us. Another band called Spiral Grave and Oxblood Forge. I don't know anything beyond who the band Morn the Light is. They're sort of kind of like what we do, a little different, a little different sound tonality-wise and playing-wise. So the name of that, they're both Canadian. So the name of the venue in Wilmington is called, what was that again? It's Bar 13. I think it says Bar X II. The Roman numeral is there. Oh, Roman numeral for 13. Okay, got it. X II. That's 13. Yep, I believe that's pronounced 13. All right, that is there. September 16th, Wilmington, Delaware, Bart Robinson, writing on your calendar now, Eric Fraunfelter. Yes, get that black, sharpie marker out and put it on your- Man, that would be cool. Bart Robinson at an Oxblood show. I don't know what I never thought that was a possibility. I told Alex the beer master about that. He apparently is maybe all of 40 minutes away from Wilmington, Delaware. Him and his brother should be going, driving right down to go and check that out. Actually, him and his brother should attend. Yeah, you can meet up with Bart Robinson from the YouTube community chat. Yeah, it'd be good if you were able to plug in your cell phone and go live at these gates. Yeah, I got to do a better job at- I got to get me one of those tripod stands or something so I can do it. Yeah, I showed you the one. Yeah, I still got to get one of those. They sell tripods. I can do it right from our band YouTube channel. It would be better off doing it that way than probably from my channel. Although if we use my channel, no fault of the bands, but I got a slightly bigger presence on YouTube than my band does, of course. Yeah, but you got to get that bigger presence. Well, but there's no problem with that because you have unlimited streaming locations with your professional account. Like in other words, you can stream on multiple, many, many, what do you call it, destinations, many destinations. What was I going to say? I've used many tripods. I can't hear you right now. What happened? You can't hear me? Yeah, isn't that weird? I hear you. Yeah, bar 13, Roman numeral. Yeah, you can't hear me, huh? Let's see. He'll be back. Bar 13, Roman numeral X123, Roman numeral 13, bar 13. Let me see if he comes back. I'll tell him what the best tripod I ever used from my phone. Here he is. Yeah, there you go. Where the hell can I not hear you? That happened with Jordy today. I told him. I'm on a different device and I can't hear you. Oh, what about now? No, this is odd. You still can't hear me? Maybe it's on James's end. Hold on for a second. That's weird. Let me see. How do you, are you hear me now? No, I don't know. No, nothing. Let me try this. Hello. Oh, there you are. What the hell? Random. You got a lot of technology, right? Yeah, I mean, what I was saying was I tried every imaginable tripod from my phone and the very best tripod is a simple little bitty clay pot, little terracotta pot turned upside down because it really, it really holds the phone at any angle you want. So you would have to get a long USB cord. No, they sell them six feet, ten feet. That's it. You're good to go and just, and that's it. You got to plug it in because, you know, video sucks up electricity really fast. Yeah, I mean the only problem, the only problem with that idea is it does not, there's, you basically don't really have a good, so you don't have a good option for different angles of your video. Yeah, you're stuck with one or two and that's about it. Well, I got a, I'm on a little tripod stand right now for this phone. I mean, minimally, I could bring that thing and use it that way. I mean, if you, if you have one or two options, number one, one of those great options would be a diagonal shot. This way, all, all the participants will be in view. Yep. So it'll be, you could see you and everyone else because, you know, plus you could see the, the background behind you, plus you could see a little bit, you know, the people in the very front. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, a diagonal shot would be good. And wouldn't be the worst thing on the known planet. No, no. And you'll be utilized in your professional membership for something great. Yeah, on Facebook or on YouTube, or sorry, on a stream yard here, yeah. Right. And then once it, once it's pre-recorded, once the event is over, I mean, you have unlimited hours event. It'll be right there, right there with a YouTube link. Now you can put it anywhere you want. The only thing that you're not afforded, well, the only thing is with Facebook, sorry, stream yard is you get 100, no, you get 50 hours of recorded material on stream yard. But wherever you go live from, so if I, so if I'm using stream yard like we are to go live onto YouTube, it's going to keep the stream on YouTube. There's just not going to be a recorded version of it on stream yard, which I don't know if anybody honestly really cares about that or not. You can still go into your, you can probably still go into your YouTube account and download the video straight from your own account. I don't even pay attention to the recorded shows on stream yard. I don't care about the destination. Now in your case, I mean, YouTube is a hell of a lot more important than Facebook because you can always post the YouTube link on Massachusetts, be a review of Facebook. Yeah, you don't necessarily have to do a restream, but I mean, it's nice when it's nice to have a restream, I suppose, if you are on, if you added restreaming onto Facebook and anyone that's scrolling around on their Facebook page ends up randomly stumbling across the fact that you're live and then stops and watches it that way. Yeah, because if you, if you're streaming on Facebook and YouTube on Facebook, it would have to be on a page. Yeah, well, you would have to be, well, no, not necessarily if I just post, if I just shared a link on my personal Facebook page, anybody that's my friend could scroll around and see that I've, that I just went live, they're scrolling up and down there on their YouTube page. But if I post it to a certain page that it's anybody, obviously it would be anybody that's involved in that group, which probably should be posting that link to several different groups and be setting this thing up hours in advance so that everything's already shared to the people that it needs to be, and then all I got to do is just go live. And it should be a great URL, I mean, video link to advertise the, the main, the CDs, the albums, you know, the album. So, right, that's about it. I, you know, I think I'm going to, because of the show, I'm too tired to cook. I'm going to order Chinese food and have that. Hell yeah. You know, I mean, I did, I did breakfast. Yeah, I did breakfast already. Well, brunch, because I'm never hungry early, never in the morning. I got a little humador here. A humador, yes. This is pipe tobacco from 2013. Ooh, it's been aged. I had to rehydrate this tobacco because this was like the first tobacco I ever bought for the pipe, and I don't have, I didn't have a jar or anything to put it in. So, it dried out a little bit. I had to do a little bit of a humidification for re, I had to re-moisten this. So, what do you do? You like mist it with a spray bottle or something? Well, you can do a, you can do a few things. The one that I chose to do was take the, yeah, you take the tobacco and you can put it in, you put it in a bowl, and you can, you can moisten paper towels and, and then get a rubber band and put the paper towel over the top of the bowl and let the, let the moisture seep into the tobacco that way. I wouldn't, I wouldn't recommend, yeah, I wouldn't recommend for pipe tobacco or even cigars for that matter. I wouldn't recommend using, using slices of fruits and stuff because the fruit itself can get moldy. Oh, we have a moldy piece of fruit inside of your tobacco. What the hell? You gotta smoke a moldy fruit? It will get very moldy. I know that for a fact. And you wouldn't have to wait long for it to get moldy. Exactly, yeah. What I'm gonna have in the pipe while we start closing out the stream or whatever we're doing here is called, they don't even, well, the, the Dunhill brand, I'm sure everybody's heard of Dunhill, if they've heard of luxury products here. They used to make a bunch of cigars too. They had some luxury cigarette brand and they used to make pipe tobaccos. And then, I don't know, two years ago, they stopped producing the pipe tobacco and the, the brand Peterson of Ireland bought all the tobacco line. So they're doing all the blending for the old Dunhill stuff. But this one is called a Dunhill Early Morning Pipe Tobacco, which is, if I look this bad boy up, it is a, if you go to tobaccoreviews.com, they tell you a lot about, it's kind of like beer advocate for pipe tobacco, right? Or a tobaccoreviews.com. It's a sweet Oriental carefully blended with bright and red Virginia's pressed and lightly stove, meaning a day, they steam pressed, basically. It's great as their first pipe arousing the palette for further pleasures of the day. All right. It was, came out in the late 1970s, all right. Oriental bright and red Virginia pressed and lightly stove enhanced by medium fired Latakia. And Latakia is not a, so the English blend is what it's basically called. That's the style. And a lot of Kia is the main element of a English blend of pipe tobacco, which I know to say that it gives you a smoky taste is kind of weird, but in a similar fashion does, does peated Scotch whiskey give you a smoky taste. The P in this case is a lot of Kia, which is, it's probably a Virginia, I would guess, or it could be a Burley. I don't remember what kind of tobacco it is, but it's a process where, where say my garage here is a tobacco barn, right? They're, they're, they're hanging the tobacco up in the rafters of this barn. And below that there's an actual controlled fire that they have going on. And with, I think with the Latakia style tobacco, it's continuously burning for a whole six months. They keep this tobacco, they keep this fire burning for that whole six months. And it gives the tobacco, once that smoke reaches up into the rafters and gets into that tobacco and starts coloring it, it gives it a really, again, like a Scotch whiskey gives it a smoky, some people say can't fire kind of an element to the tobacco more almost like a natural tobacco not. We're not talking about like your vanilla's or your rums or your cocoa nut or your whatever kind of flavor of tobaccos, just natural tobacco. Here's kind of what it looks like. Let's say here's kind of what it looks like. Oh, I'm trying. Like your, my favorite pipe you have is that rustic looking pipe that looks like a, like an old briar, briar wood tree. Oh yeah, I got this, I got this one in the mail. I got this new pipe in the mail last week. That, yeah, there you go. Oh yeah, that's a brand new pipe. I've only smoked it once yesterday. It's a, it's another briar pipe and it's made by a gentleman called Doran, Brian Doran. I've been following him on YouTube and Instagram. He, I think he's on YouTube as Beans, B E A and S 3 16. Go subscribe to that guy, check him out. He does, he does his own pipe carving and you can find the Doran pipes when he's, when they're available on eBay. I bought this one. I bought this on eBay. It was pretty economically priced for a nice and the top of the bowl is all nice and smooth and it's got that rustic, they call it rustication that they'd be not so smooth look, but that's kind of what I like and yeah. It's probably and it's good that you have different pipes because you're supposed to let them rest. Yeah, you shouldn't really be smoking in general. You shouldn't really be smoking back to back to back. You have to let the carbon coating cool. Yeah. And so with the new pipe, so with the new pipe, there's a lot of varying opinions on, on, it's like anything. It's like, it's like any hobby, right? Everyone's got varying opinions on how to do a certain thing or how you should do it. Well, no, this is the proper way. No, this is the proper way. No, this is the proper way, proper way to break in a pipe. Everybody's got their own personal opinion. My personal opinion on that is I don't have a personal opinion. I just smoke the pipe. Eventually, some people, well, let me get into that. Some people say, oh, only fill the pipe the first two thirds. So you get that, so you get that cake layer, the carbon layer so that the pipe starts really smoking cool and that the, and that the pipe stays lit over the, over time until, until you get that and start doing it that way until you get the, the right carbon level there. I say, you're going to smoke the pipe anyways. Just smoke it. Just do it like you normally would. And it's, to me, it's eventually going to get that carbon layer regardless of how you do it. Yeah, just fill it up. Just fill it up. I just load it up the way I normally would. Fill it up normally to the top. And then, you know, let's say, okay, it's Sunday. Okay, so you let's say you're smoking that pipe today. Well, tomorrow, you might not smoke a pipe, but if you choose to, you just grab another one that you have another pipe. And then you let that sit for 24 hours. So they say do, do two things. They say do two things here. So don't get tobacco anymore. You do your charring light. You char the tobacco at the top of it. You get a nice ash layer trying to start going where everything is generally pretty lit. You take this little piece that's your tamper and you're constantly over time, you're tamping it when it gets, when the pipe starts to get less and less of a smoke volume. Basically, what you're doing is you're getting the tobacco and the ash layer down or what's not been burned. You're getting it down closer to the flame source. That's basically what you're doing there. So you light the pipe, you get that little, they call it again, they call it a false light. You get that light, you make sure everything's pretty well lit. And then you go in for the whatever they call that one, the real light or something like that. Corn cob pipes are more delicate, so you definitely can't smoke the same corn cob two days ago. I have two corn cob pipes. I found one in an antique store in upstate New York. Another one, this is one of your average looking, what you would think of as a corn cob pipe. The Missouri Mirsham company makes corn cobs. Yeah, Missouri Mirsham is a famous company that makes good corn cobs. And I used to see a company in convenience, in privately owned convenience stores, Dr. Graybowl, pre-smoked pipes, pre-smoked Dr. Graybowl's. They have some kind of machine that smokes. But yeah, the Missouri Mirsham, they're cheap economical pipes that work really well. So I'm not going to complain. I don't, I can't complain with the pipe that I have. The only thing I can complain about is this stem piece is more of like a cheaper kind of a plastic. It's not really really good. It wears out fast, especially biters, you know, which will happen, you know. I don't really, I've never been really a one that just sits, that smokes a pipe and sits into my mouth just clenches it. Is there like a poly, a strong polypropylene or neoprene rubber bit? Yeah, I don't have one on this pipe, but you can buy the, they, they call them in the pipe, in the pipe world, soft feet bits. Soft feet. And they are, and they are made out of rubber, and they will fit over the, over the mouthpiece. And you can do that. Another, another really economical wage is by PVC piping and cut it down from like home people, like we were talking about earlier. You can just use those. They make PVCs that, that small? Yeah, I got one. I don't know if you're going to be able to see it. I didn't, I didn't think. I got one like, I mean, this one's dirty though. Don't use it, but something like this. Oh, it's like a fat straw. Yeah, just cut it and then you can, yeah, basically, you can just put it over. I'm not going to do it with this dirty thing from gardening or whatever, but you can use something like that in a bind if you really want to do that. Yeah, I should buy, I should be buy, I should buy more of those. Interesting. And they're called, they're called, they're called soft feet bits. Soft feet bits. Yep. And, and you know, with, with anxiety, people will bite, you know, these days. Yeah, well, you can buy a state pipes, which are the used pipes, whether they're smoked or unsmoked is a different story, but they can come in all different kinds of conditions, those stems with all the bite marks or they can have poles, you know, literally, you buy, you buy as you buy as is basically. Well, I used to, the only pipe tobacco I'm accustomed to is Cavendish, like a sweet, very moist, very moist pipe tobacco, different Cavendish is golden, the black, and then the other one. Sure. There was one that was very dry called Bond Street. There were like nuggets. Oh, nuggets. And there was very dry, like there was the Swalter Raleigh pipe tobacco that was similar to that also very dry. Didn't care for that, but, you know, your yeah. A lot of the drugstore or what they call OTC blends or some people in the pipe community call them codger blends, codger blends, right? But the OTC stands are over the counter. So stuff that you would have seen in drug stores like a CVS before they pulled all their tobacco products. They're primarily burly based tobaccos, which mostly the burly industry is used or the tobacco industry uses burly in a lot of mostly in cigarettes, but well, burly will be a variety of tobacco, right? Yes, yes. So the burly, the burly, so you got burlies and you got burlies in Virginia's orientals, Oriental tobacco, that are the naturally occurring tobaccos that aren't. So, so unlike a black Cavendish, we talked about Latakia and there's another one called Darkfire Kentucky, but especially the Latakia and what you're talking about the black Cavendish, they're not actually varieties of tobacco. They're a process in which has to be undergone to create that tobacco. The burly, the burlies have really low sugar content. So they burn, they burn very well and they have a fruit, they generally have like a nutty, some people say a chocolatey taste, you can get a dark burly, you can get a white burly. The white burlies tend to have little flavor characteristics, but though the burly generally, probably why they use them in cigarettes so much, because they'll generally have a pretty higher nicotine content than a lot of other styles of tobacco. The Virginias have a higher sugar content than a lot of other tobaccos and you can kind of get like citrusy notes out of out of Virginia's and more of a natural sort of a tobacco taste and because of the high sugar content, they burn much hotter, they're much hotter smoke. So you have to really, like you're drinking your whiskeys or your bourbons or your brandies or whatever kind of liquor you're drinking, you want to sip on the pipe when you're doing the Virginia stuff because because of how hot it can get, you can get that sensation on your tongue and they call that tongue bite. They must be, it must use Virginia's for the flavor of tobacco, like your apple, cherry, like a cherry liqueur and there's one with apple in it, all different flavors. Mostly you'll see a lot of burly in cabin dish in a lot of those and a lot of the flavored aromatic, they call those aromatic blends. I heard there's a northern tobacco grown in New England. Yeah, in the pipe, in the cigar world, there are Connecticut grown tobaccos that are primarily used for the outer wrapper leaf of the cigar. You get a Connecticut sun grown and you can get a Connecticut shade tobacco. Literally shade is they're growing both of these tobaccos are obviously grown outside, right? But one can be sun grown. It's just growing and it's not being covered by anything. With the shade tobacco, with the Connecticut shade, you can get like almost like a cheesecloth that they're putting, they're tenting the tobacco with so that it's a lighter color and it's not so dark or robust as say the sun trying to hinder the photosynthesis of the plant quite possibly. Yeah, okay, because natural chlorophyll which makes the plant green is the blood of the plant and requires sun. Not all the time is black cabinish used exclusively in aromatics or more of the flavor tobacco or pipe tobaccos. Sometimes people use it for, it's good to help meld all the flavors together and it has, some people say, some of the pipe blenders say that it will give a certain weight to the smoke as well. Okay, are you familiar with this company that Bart Robinson used to use? Cary brand, I've never heard of Cary brand. A vented stem with a paper filter inside. Yeah, you can get filtered, you can get filtered pipes. Yeah, they make all different kinds of pipes. I will fit like a six millimeter or nine millimeter pipe, the Sabanilli brand and I have some in the house but they make balsa wood filters. So it kind of looks like the HEPA filter in my vacuum cleaner, right? It's like paperish, paper. When you look on either side of this balsa filter, it's got all these little porous holes in it on either side, on the ends of them. Yeah, there's one guy on YouTube that also has his own online shop. Go subscribe to this guy if you like pipe tobacco and listen to stuff about that. He's called the pipe nut, Eddie Gray. He's in Florida and he's one of the few people out there publicly in the, they call it YTPC, YouTube pipe community. That's all about smoking without the filters. He's done smoking with the filters. He's done smoking without the pipe filter and for whatever reason he likes the way that the nine millimeter pipes with the filter insert smoke a little better for him. It's a little cooler of a smoke for him. And even if you have, you see like long stems or, or Gandalf, they call them church wardens where they're really long stems, the further away you are from that bowl with your stem, technically the cooler the smoke will be because it has less, because it has more time to travel away from that heat source and it's cooling itself down as it's going through that stem when it's a lot longer. You can get really short stems and they're called nose warmers, right? Yeah. Nose warmers. Yeah. Interesting. Well, you know what? This has been, this is a fun show because it was like, it was all over the place. You know, like so many topics were discussed. The main topic was at the beginning of the show and it was a serious topic. And you know, if you're an animal lover and you care, it should infuriate a lot of animal lovers and Peter. Yeah. Yeah. You know, about the exotic, the online exotic pet trade. I'm talking about, I'm not all about that now. I'm talking about legal. The legal. I'm not talking about like a venomous snake or a tiger cub. I'm talking about something innocent like a tortoise or a turtle or a lizard or, you know. Oh, sure. Yeah. Or a salamander. Well, a lot of places are not properly caring for their animals and they're sending customers sick animals that drop dead off. Well, yeah. Since I wasn't on that chat, I'll say really, I'll say really quickly. I don't really care what the pet is, even goldfish to a certain extent, right? If you don't have the time, if you don't really have the time, if you want a pet, if you're really thinking about getting a pet and you don't really have the time to dedicate to caring for that pet, don't get a pet. Don't get it. That's what I'm going to, that's my, that's my appeal in a nutshell about that. I would say first, a person should really research that creature well. Number one, number two, you should have its enclosure already preset up. Oh, yeah. Right before it's yeah. And then when it arrives, you give it the best care that the animal deserves. And if you're doing, if you're doing any kind of aquatic animals, fish or whatever, say for example, already have that, you know, with the nitrogen, you know, the nitrogen cycle, right? Already have that nitrogen cycle kind of starting to do its thing. Have like the little brine shrimp or something. Some people will actually use and collect the shells of shrimp and start to actually from like your cocktail shrimp and like eating of shrimp or, or muscle shells or whatever it is. And that'll naturally try to start that process. And then you get a little bottom feeders or you can buy the little brine shrimp stuff that'll eat all that algae as well. Well, I have, I have, I had got a new filter, a hang-on filter that goes in the outside made by Marine Land, Marine Land. Yeah. And it is a mostly biological filtration system. It has like the, the bio wheel that spins as the water hits it and it spins the aerobic bacteria grow on it. And plus I stuffed it with additional bioactive material. So I loaded it up with bioactive material, which is very porous, like lava rock. And like lava rock meaning, there's a lot of holes in there for the bacteria. And you have the nitrogen cycle. The waste material turns to toxic ammonia, which it turns to nitrates and to nitrites. And then nitrites are supposed to evaporate out of the water. Now, if you don't have a nitrogen cycle established, don't get any fish. No, it's going to be a, you know, it's going to be a horrible time to keeping that thing clean. And it's not going to be, it's not going to be, it's not, it's not a livable condition for your aquatic animals. I mean, for you, for you, uh, um, neophytes out there, you know how you can tell if your ammonia is high without even testing it? The nose always knows if you get your, your nostrils near the surface of your aquarium and you don't smell anything, then you have clean water. You can get stuff for your pond. You can get stuff for your outdoor pond, like you saw earlier. Right. You can get algae, algae fix, which controls algae growth. Right. You can get stress coat that makes tap water safe and removes the chlorine chloramides and the ammonia. Right. And then you can get, you can get, uh, sorry, pond sand, which promotes fish health, improves their gill function, helps reduce fish stress, fish stress, and adds the essential electrolytes. And there are also other things you can buy to other kinds of things like the algae fix that will try to remove all that algae and that mask and stuff. You can also get Japanese trapdoor snails for an outdoor pond. Yes. That's another thing that'll, that's another, like kind of a bottom feeding type of, you can get water or lily bulbs. I have those. Yep. You would, you would put like, uh, gravel into a plastic pot with holes. Yep. And they'll grow, uh, and form a lily pad and very, very pretty. The fish like to eat some of that stuff in the pond and then they'll also use it if they want to hide, if they, if they're not going really deep, they're not really deep into the pond, which they like to go towards the nighttime and stuff. They'll, they'll hide around, they'll hide in and in and around that. And sometimes, sometimes throughout the summer, you'll see a frog or two actually in that outdoor pond you saw earlier and those would be sitting on the lily pits. It was like, Hey, what's in a blue moon? You'll see a turtle in there. Like, damn. Well, fish in general, fish love structures and they, they love shade from the hot sun. They love structure. I guess it makes them feel secure. They really don't like bright blazing direct sunlight. No. And, uh, I had the, I have Java moss in my aquarium, which is a very hardy aquatic plant that does not, the fish will not really eat it. And it's, um, uh, it doesn't need much light. It can grow in low to medium light and you order a sprig, you can get online a sprig of Java moss and it'll just grow. It's, it's really a pretty plant. Yeah. Because I've had other plants and guess what consumes like a buffet, like just picture people at a salad bar, you know? Yeah. Well, you can go, you can go to a, you can go to like, you can go to garden centers and a lot of the garden centers have a little section at their garden center for, for, for the aquatic, for aquatic plants. And you can, and you can buy aquatic plants to put in your outdoor plants. Oh yeah. There's garden centers that, that, that deal with ponds, the people with ponds. Uh, uh, you, you know, you must have in Massachusetts, you must have naturally occurring, I mean, wood turtles and Eastern box turtles. And yeah, I used to see box. I used to see, yeah, we have the box turtle a lot. We, I, at one point when I moved here, we were seeing, we saw at one point the spotted turtles, spotted turtles, I believe are an endangered species around where I'm at. Yeah. And tiger salamanders are endangered in the Northeast. They're, they're, they're protected. Uh, when, when people turn over rotten logs and boulders, so look for the new salamanders. Yep. You should always be careful when you put the log or the stone back, like you should put it exactly the way it was and don't smash the animal. Now Bart is, is having, it sounds like Bart. It's Maryland style crab cakes. Sounds delicious. I've had a Bart. Cheers. No filler. Yep. None of that breadcrumbs. No, no, no. It's real Maryland crab cake is all crab meat. And I think it's uh, Liam parents, uh, raw egg, uh, mint stung in, uh, I could believe mayonnaise and, um, Old Bay, Old Bay seasonings, you're a, I like that stuff. Well, you need, you need the raw egg as a binder. Yeah. That's what makes the crab cake a crab cake. You know, uh, you need, uh, um, yeah, if there is mayonnaise, I think there is, but not no miracle whip. You've got to use real whole miracle whip. That's not male. No, that's not male. You've got to use whole egg male. And anyway, it's been lovely. Thank you everyone collectively. I'm going to work Chinese food. I'm hungry. Thank you for showing up. We'll see you next time. Cheers. Cheers. Bye-bye.
