I just don't like it. I wish I did last year. Okay last year Uh, I did go to one halloween like a party It was like a swing dancing night and I dressed up as like a list because lord of the rings nerd, you know um And uh, that was like the first bit of like facing my fear slash hatred of halloween and it was really nice But this year I was like nope can't do it not feeling up to it. It is too much. So I'm staying inside I'm also absolutely terrified of trick-or-treaters. So I like turned off all the lights Um, because I don't want the dogs to bark because it scares me Let's see here Ava says what are your plans for Christmas? Could we think about a live event thing for december? I feel like a lot of us have Had a difficult never-ending year. I would love to do that I would love to do like a christmas eve or a christmas day stream Because I like I feel that I really really feel that. Um, I don't have plans for christmas yet. I will hopefully probably see my family um Yeah Yeah, that's my thought but it's usually not a very busy day Also, I just saw a comment from rob says legolas a pun intended actually no It wasn't until I picked the costume out that I was like, oh god.

I had pet rats for a long time and um, I missed them The place I live in is not big enough to have them and the ones I had passed away like two years ago but uh, Eventually one day maybe if I'm like living with a partner or people or something like that in a bigger place I'd love to get pet rats again. Um, does anyone else get does anyone get grossed out when I say that? I know pet rats are kind of divisive But they're so sweet and they're so smart and they're soft and they're actually way more clean than people think they are Nicole, thank you for the super chat Um says oh great question. Are there any pre-accident things that you miss i.e. roller coasters? um, oh, yeah, I missed the adrenaline rushes Ah, gosh, there are a lot of things There are things pre-accident that I miss but it was like the accident was at 13 and at that point I loved horses. Um I loved like online games There wasn't a whole lot that like I knew that I had at that point to miss As time went on I definitely missed Like the opportunities of like being able to walk going to school without crutches because like my entire Even though I was homeschooled I still like went to classes places and I was always on crutches always recovering from surgeries So I think looking back. I didn't really feel it at the time but looking back there was some like Like jealousy of maybe the normalcy of other people's lives that I got to grieve at like age 28, right? Um, also Kara's channel. Thank you for another super chat says. How do you drive a car? Is it set up differently? My car is not set up differently Uh, it is actually exactly the same. I just take my prosthetic leg off I just pop it off Uh, my prosthetic is on my right side and I just drive with my left foot It's perfectly legal in colorado And I also learned to drive with my left foot Uh, because when I was like getting my driver's license, I was already going through Surgeries anyways on my right ankle. So it worked out just fine Um, Michelle says can a rat be litter trained? Yes, they can actually I have never done that But they absolutely can be and I know people that have done that Okay, this is gonna this is oops Um, this is gonna be a bit of an obscure question But I'm wondering if anyone has ever lived in a house where the water is very hard Because it's been destroying my hair and skin. Let me know. Let me know um Gray says any tips for getting over being in the hospital so much anxiety wise love your stuff Grace gosh, I feel you um Like the anxiety that comes with walking to a hospital or hospital stays is extensive I got my flu shot yesterday and even like the smell of like the alcohol swab, right Like spiked so much anxiety in me because it smells like procedures that I've had, you know in hospitals and all that stuff Uh, and so it can kind of be it's like it's really difficult. Um I'm not sure that I have any advice off the top of my head aside from like Acknowledging our feelings listening to them being as careful with ourselves as we can be emotionally the hardest thing about having like Trauma from hospitals and stuff like that is that they're not really avoidable Um, it feels like this a relationship that you're stuck in because you have to see doctors when you're someone who deals with physical issues But they're also people who have caused you trauma and difficulty Um, so it's a really hard one to deal with but you're not alone in that Edward hello. Good to see you here Um, let's see here. Blue diva says joe. I've always wanted to ask since you've been back up on your leg Have you worked out? How do you use your arms when you walk with crutches?

It's very annoying Um, we tried a bunch of different mics and the only ones we could get to actually work are the xlr mics Um, and so those are the ones we're using and we we've just about worked out all the details with them. Thankfully um Oh grace says if you like animated movies and shows watch these studio ghibli stuff. It's beautiful, isn't it?

They're great. So I don't use when I'm doing like short videos I hold the lapel mic because whenever I clip it to my clothes it uh I get the audio is just not good like it's designed to be like clipped here But it like hits against my necklace or like rubs on my clothes or you like hear my hair. So I just like straight up hold it now Uh grace says hi jam a big fan and love that you inspire people to do stuff. Thank you so much I really appreciate that grace. That's very kind of you to say Pat asked how is the digital artwork going? I Pretty much entirely pause that as soon as I got better from surgery Um, it's something I would like to return to because it was really fun I have found that specifically with art stuff I get fixated on stuff for like two to three weeks at a time and I do a lot of it And then I then I don't do it again for a year. It's like always how my brain has worked. Um But I just got back into like drawing drawing with like a pen and ink and paper Um blue divas says mics are a complete mind field the connecting glitching and temperamental dude They really are I feel so dumb with mics because it should be pretty straightforward, but it's not Will depict says lingering bronchio pain also lingering weird phantom smells like smoke. Oh interesting Yeah, I uh, I'm I've muted that in time. So you didn't have to hear me cough. I'm very proud of myself um Yeah, it's like, uh This is like this like burning in my lungs chest pressure that is lingering from covid I am doing my very best to be like actually gentle with myself and not push myself too hard. Um Because like covet's covet was really awful for two days. I was Like scary sick, right being alone in sick is always kind of scary to me. Um And then I like started getting better. I was like, oh good Okay, that passed quickly But then I didn't get any better for like eight days and it was just this like can't quite function But can kind of think level and now I'm moving more but I realized that it is still having an effect So I'm gonna try not to set myself back And just to actually take it easy Jake says do you have ADHD? This is a great question jake. Um Because uh, I have had quite a few quite a few friends. Um, tell me that the like behaviors and how I communicate and things are like Textbook like textbook textbook ADHD. I've never actually been evaluated for it Uh, yeah, and I think that's all I'll say on it. So no, I haven't been diagnosed with it But if nothing else a lot of these symptoms of it, I Or like the the common behaviors. I certainly have Um, ah, it's funny. Thank you for the super chat says hi fellow one-legged person. How you doing? I'm doing pretty good. I'm cuddle up with two puppies. I even forgot it was halloween there for a second talking to you guys So thank you for that um Oh, uh says Username says my first thought about the art was also ADHD Yeah, yeah, is that like a common thing for people? Does anyone in the chat have ADHD? I know that um people have talked about that before But it's not just art It's like a lot of things that are like in the creative realm or even intellectually I will get fixated on for like two to three weeks Straight where it's like all I'm thinking about all I'm doing and then it's I'm just like then it's just done It's just done for like a year or more Um, river says I made ADHD unautistic. Okay, cool. So we have some some neurodivergent neurodivergent friends in the chat Yeah, it's something um a friend actually brought up to me a little while ago Because there are certain things especially in like relationships and friendships that I struggle with and I fail at Uh with communication and I've always felt really bad about it and he was like, dude Joe You know that like all of that stuff is Is like textbook stuff. Um, like don't be hard on yourself regardless, right? So it was very kind of them Um Oh, yeah, we've got lots. Oh, we have so many neurodivergent. I can't talk neurodivergent friends in the chat um Yes, yeah, yeah Oh, so if he left us She like left her butt in frame though And one of her chew toys, would you like this? She doesn't really want it. So she's like gumming it. She took it out like purely to make me feel better Oh, no, she's actually chewing on it. Okay, cool Um, hi, John Oh, will depict says take a sip. Thank you I will and I'm like fully breathe for a second for someone Who speaks who does like public speaking professionally on occasion I really forget to breathe when I'm talking sometimes and that becomes a very apparent Oh, uh here give me just one moment. There is a call I need to answer All right, guys. Thank you for that brief interruption. I'm not sure if you heard all that I think I muted my mic, but I'm not actually sure I always like to mute mics when like personal calls come in because people aren't consenting to be like on stream, right? Okay, blue diva says, uh, I muted. Yes. Thank you. Okay. Good. Uh, the jeopardy music. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, cool Um Let's see here. Uh, Kevin says cats are telling me it's bedtime What is the name of the silicone lotion you use? I don't actually know what it's called There's just like silicone lotion that I use for Um, for like, you know hot spots areas that hurt on my press on my on my residual limb Uh, if you just search like silicone amputee lotion, maybe that would come up. I'm not sure Uh, Ava says your mic didn't share anything. You didn't want to. Okay. Okay. Cool. Good Yes, it might be alps the lotion might be by the brand alps. In fact, I think it is. Ah, thank you guys for being in the chat Jovan, I did not well. I kind of did Say I kind of did say hi for you guys because I let them know I was literally on stream right now um Oh, uh, Russell says what was the book on attachment styles you were reading again I want to check it out. I don't uh, not attachment styles But on like the neurology like the actual how our brain chemistry works regarding love and specifically romantic love It's called wired for love by Stephanie. I can't really say your last name, but it's like a cow or something like that Um, you know, it's really fascinating guys. I'm gonna go have a little tangent here I'm not sure if this is interesting to you, but it's interesting to me um So they did this study. So this this uh, this neurologist scientist Uh, really wanted to understand like what happens to our brains when we fall in love when we have like these romantic connections And uh, they flash the name of someone Someone's like romantic partner So fast that your conscious brain doesn't recognize it and then also flash the name of a close friend So someone else you have love for so like one's romantic love one's just like a friendship love And they found that when that occurred and again, it's so fast that you're you're not consciously saying. Oh, I see their name brain function increased Like clarity, uh, like like intuitive thought uh creativity problem solving all increased After seeing the name of the person you were in love with isn't that fascinating? I just think that's so interesting Um, and the whole book is literally about how we are act like wired like neurologically wired for connection with people Not just romantic. Obviously Uh, but yeah, I really like it. I highly recommend it. I also just finished reading. Are you guys ready for this? You guys ready for this? This is actually a whole story Allow me to explain this book Hold on is called Why women deserve less? It is written by the host of a very popular podcast named Myron Gaines and I was reading this book I left it on the table and I came home and my dogs ate it They apparently did not approve of the message. Um I'm reading this book as as research for the turbo dude podcast Uh, because I think it's important to understand people you disagree with and their points So I read the full book. I took notes. I'm doing like a book report on it so I can fully understand it deeply disagree with a lot of the message, but it was A fascinating read that is for sure and my dogs ate it which made me very very John said Ben Shapiro wrote it not quite Not quite, but similar similar similar vein of the internet Uh, Ava. Oh, thank you says tea break. Thank you. Whoops. Sorry about that guys Um Grace says I got to go. Thanks for seeing and responding to my question. Thank you for being here grace Thanks for the tea break reminder guys Um, milko enby says brains are so cool brains are so cool I love like I love learning the way that Like how we think what we think Yeah, so wired for love is the name of that book. I also just got a book I think it's called the gender delusion and it's about I'm really excited to read it It's about sort of like the actual biological differences between male and female brains and like a lot of stuff that we always thought About it that isn't accurate and like how our brains actually really works. Super excited to read that one too Ava says the spill seems inevitable, you know me too well Um Beardly interesting says brains are squishy thinking me. Yes. Yes, they are how weird that everything we experience just comes from up here, right? Uh, no, the stream is not ending yet. Mary. I am still kicking I'm I've almost made it to an hour, which is pretty good for a solo stream um When I'm streaming the the turbo dude podcast we usually go for like two two and a half hours But there's like other people talking So I find I can go a little bit longer without like my neurological stuff kicking in Nicholas says we love you joe. Ah, thank you. Thanks for keeping us updated on your journey. It's an inspiring story Thank you. Nicholas for being here Um Let's see here Oh, uh coops says any thought of switching to the metric system Um, I love that. I really wish we would uh us dumb americans are very we're just very set to not To not be in the metric system, which is silly considering the rest of the world Um, Ava says we once had a three hour long live. I think we did. I think it was an art stream Which I loved doing those. Um, I'd like to bring them back, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to um Look at the door. It says we are so much more than merely our brains Not only is our entire body involved in connection and in cognition But we have a large amount of nervous tissue in our gut and it does some thinking. Oh, I'm gonna have to look into that That's super fascinating to read. Um, that's something I'd like to learn a lot of a lot more about Uh, because intuition in particular is fascinating to me like a gut feeling and how often Like that instinct is correct with things super interesting Uh, wait, hold on hold on Pat, thank you for another super chat says have you thought about your one million subscriber video? I predict it's not too far off and I'll be so proud to tear you on. Oh, that almost makes me tear up. Thank you Um, and thanks for the super chat, you know, I haven't thought about the one million subscriber video because it doesn't feel Real, right? Um I feel like it could maybe happen in the next few months And I'm like, what the heck? I know I didn't start youtube to like I even think I'd get freaking a thousand people following me back in the early days, right? And now we're here, which is just mind blowing to me and I'm so grateful for um, but it doesn't feel real, uh So, yeah, I'm gonna have to thank you for putting that in my brain. I'm gonna have to start thinking about What I should do for the one million subscriber video. What do you guys think? What what I would love any suggestions in the chat and I'm gonna take a second to breathe And drink And drink some tea guys the dogs might bark. Okay. Yep They heard voices outside Jeopardy music again Okay, guys, they might bark again just fyi. I am sorry in advance But they heard the voices outside because there are people trick-or-treating And they are very protective doggos of me in this house Okay, so, um, Nicholas says doggos. I love them Joven says should we pitch ideas for the million subshow absolutely, please do Um, oh anonymous says you should watch when the body says no, I'm fascinated to read that Or to watch that. Yeah um Ava says a little over five years and almost a million. Well, thank you It's it's literally it's literally just because of you guys. So I am incredibly grateful Nick says protective dog goes to the rescue. Yes, they One thing I love about my puppy dogs. They're sweethearts, right? They're big babies, but dear god When people are at the house who are not supposed to be at the house who they are not expecting Those barks are friggin terrifying Um, which I appreciate I have actually intentionally never trained them not to bark Um, because I want to know when people are here and they are very very good guard dogs Oh, we got leo back. Are you coming back? Oh, did you just fall into the couch? What do you do it? What do you do it? Are you just sitting here? Come here Come here He says no mom.

I'm sorry you guys can't all feel them because they're so soft Can you hear sophie chomping on the toy too? Does the mic just the mic pick that up? um Let's see here. Yeah janna says leo had to go check the perimeter. Okay for real though Leo is a perimeter dog and sophie is like a personal protection dog when they hear something generally speaking especially at night Leo will go check the entire house and sophie will literally stand on top of me. It makes me feel so good Same thing being outside though leo like checks the perimeter of the fence So just like make these rounds and then sit and watch and then sophie will watch me. It's so interesting They're like different personalities, you know um Daniel says do uh prosthetic ice skates or role plays exist? They do I think there was um, there was like a lab that was making a roller blade prosthetic foot for one of my good friends um Oh pat says I remember one of your videos where you had your subscribers sending videos of other messages for a milestone Uh, that was one of the best experiences of my life. Um, I think it was was it for a hundred thousand Or was it for Christmas? I can't remember But I had people send in videos and I'd like react to them, right and people sent in The sweetest videos. I was like balling trying to do that reaction video. Maybe something like that That's a great idea. I like that Uh rising says ninja and sniper dog. That's exactly what they are. They make they make a great team Um Let's say here, you know John sander says, you know those motion detector automatic dog feeders.
