 Good morning from Skoolie Palooza! I'm still out here. There are more buses and a wandering step van that showed up last night. That's Sevens. We have some new visitors over here. Right now, like I mentioned before, I'm going to do some videos for my buddy's channel. We're going to trade. I'm going to make him interview videos. He's going to help me out with a website, Bus Life Adventure. So right now, you guys have already met Tamara. She was in a three-off-grid nomads video. So I'm going to head over there, chalk with her, and then my buddy Dean, who you guys have met before, if you've been with me for a while. I'm going to make a video with him. Maybe the new guys that popped up over here. Maybe Giuseppe on Dylan Magaster's channel. He has a wandering tea garden. And then I met a really cool guy, Jeremy. He's got Norm the Pug. That's in a little van over there. A big bus, I should say. A big golden bus. He's a photographer, an Instagramer, I guess you would say. But also just kind of makes a living from social media, which is awesome. Really cool story. Really cool guy. And a really cool bus. So I'm going to go do some work. And I will see you guys when I'm done working. All right, I'm back. I have with me peanut butter banana sandwich. Oh, and honey. Got Dean. And we got Nick. Nick's back. What's up? He came out for the RTR and he's stopping by the school he paluzas and, you know, hang out with the school buses. There's seven. Yo, seven. Wave to your fans. Seven for his bye. We did a really cool, well, video for his challenge. You guys should go check it out. It was advice to people wanting to do the bus life. I don't know. I like my answer. Do you like my answer? That was a great answer. Good answer. I just want to encourage people to do it. I wish I did this before. And I think that's probably a thing that's common with a lot of people. Do you wish you did this before? Yes, absolutely. Okay, you're not saying that because I just said that. Are you? Of course. Anyways, there are some people who actually wish they did this before. Actually, a lot of people. So we got some more buses. We got the converted YMCA bus. They actually spotted me. They said, hey, Jax. So let's go meet them. Hello. Coming in to check us out? Yeah, coming in to check you out. Come on in. I heard a crazy thing. Tell me. You guys fed 200 homeless people? Yeah, in Vegas. 500 and six? We had 200 in Vegas. Dang! How'd you pull that off? This little stove down here, man. We just put a town on it. That little stove fed 506 people? Yeah, we're still going. Really halfway. We're trying to do 1,000. Did you vlog at all? Yeah, we did. We had two videos about it. What's the channel? The nomadic movement. All right, cool. Check it out. I'm going to go check it out myself tonight. I'm going to go get some tea over at Giuseppe. You guys want to join me? Yeah, let's go. Cool. Wait, what do you say, Nick? I said I didn't bring a cup. You didn't bring a cup to a tea party. So, what is that? Is that a saying? No. Oh, well, in the nomadic life, it's always a BYOC. Unless you're at Giuseppes, because apparently he has extra. By the way, this is Giuseppe. Howdy, welcome. He had a very cool video with Dylan Magaster, where they go into detail about his boss, why he's doing it. I got plenty of cups though, so don't worry about the BYOC. So, if you see me, he doesn't do the BYOC. It is just a free tea set up here. And I heard you've been in a bus slash a vehicle for 10 years. Is that right? 12 and a half years, but in this bus for 10 years. So, you're like an OG bus lifer? I mean, you know, there's a whole generation of people before me, or multiple generations. Yeah. So, I can't, you know, all the way back to the prairie schooners, the covered wagons that cross the river. There we go. Yeah. Yeah, that's cool. Any estimate of how much money you've saved and rent over the past 10 or 12 years? So, I haven't paid rent yet in a long time, and I would say I've, I don't know, $100,000, $80,000. Yeah. I mean, think about how much you pay rent for 12 years, and multiply it out. So, whatever you're watching, whatever you pay, times 12 times 12. Yeah. Yeah. I like to say that because you have to work less for the things that you have to pay for, it actually gives you a chance to do more things that you like to do, like have tea parties. Yeah, totally. Yeah, a lot of people in this country live in what I call time poverty, where they don't have enough time to do things, so they have to buy a lot of convenience items and things to help them feel good and happy, and they end up having to work harder to then pay for those things, and it's kind of this vicious cycle of, yeah, being in time poverty. Yeah. Here we go. Giuseppe. Homeowner. Just like all of us over here at Schooley-Palooza. Thanks, dude. See ya. So, we just had a great time over here at the tea house. We kind of closed down the shop with Giuseppe. Over here, by the way, is a give and take area where you can drop off gifts, large gifts, small gifts, cards, which are kind of like services and things like that. And I was gifted a cookbook. I was sharing with Giuseppe, he's kind of laughing right now. I was sharing with Giuseppe that I want to start eating roadkill because I think it's kind of a waste of meat. The animal wasn't killed in a factory farm, et cetera. And he shared with me that our salad tonight is coming from where? The dumpster, dumpster dive, salad greens, tomatoes, all kinds of good stuff. And you call it rescuing, what was it? Yeah, food rescue, food reclamation, or civil harvesting. So we're going to go cook up some spaghetti. Giuseppe's going to make his salad and we're going to have a little dinner with Nick and Claire. All right, tonight's spaghetti night. Also, amazing, amazing sunset. These desert sunsets, I don't know, if I said it once, I said it a million times, it's actually true. These Arizona sunsets and New Mexico sunsets are some of the best sunsets, and probably just deserts in general. Everybody's got their cameras out doing photos. Looks like we have a little wagon circle, half wagon circle forming over here. And tonight is spaghetti night. Like I said, we've got some whole wheat pasta, a little salt, oh, maldown sea salt, a little olive oil in there so it doesn't stick together. Then we have super ultra lean turkey, and yeah, just going to have a nice little meal. Good old protein, carbs, you know, all that fun stuff for dinner. All right, so Giuseppe is going to do the honors. I forgot earlier to pick winners for the postcards, but Giuseppe's going to go through the comments and pick his favorite ones. Okay, let's do it. I'm kind of paunting this off on other people for the past two, just so nobody gets upset and pick them. I think this is going to be your regular thing, the odds are in your favor, so if you don't win today, you will win at some point. I think I'm going to pick one at least for the nastiest comment. Okay, and by the way, that is no encouragement for nasty comments. I appreciate everybody's nice comments. You know how much energy I love, I put into these videos. But we even have love for haters. We sure do, we sure do. This is from Sandra Beachy. Hey Jacks, my van is a 7.3 diesel. Only problem, can a 66 year old grandma change the oil and the fuel filters? I'm ready for adventure. I would love a postcard, happy trails. I just love that a 66 year old grandma is even considering something like this, so she definitely deserves a postcard. Winner! I like this one. I would love a postcard. This is from Lisa Huff. I have only been able to venture out of Colorado once, so in lieu of adventure, I asked my friends to send me postcards whenever I travel. I have a world map and a US map on the wall, and I have them bordered with corresponding postcards. I also live vicariously through your videos. Alright. You stole me from exploring with Josh. Hey Jacks, you need to go skate more. I'm 41 and it keeps me on the level daily. Number four, Ian gets worst comment. His comment is, comment. Alright. He's getting a postcard. Alright. His terrible comment. From endless Aussie adventures. I know my son, Tallinn would be super excited to receive a postcard from you, Jacks, as he always asks if you have uploaded a video. You are a wonderful inspiration. From Dee Hanley, hoping for a postcard. I enjoy watching your videos. They have helped my long hospital stay be bearable. That person deserves a postcard. And a hug. Yes. We're sending the hugs. This is a hug via mail. Ultra low battery. There's a lot of film in today. I know your time is valuable. And I appreciate you spending with me and Claire Bear.
