Chris' Off Road Recovery - Sent and Bent #72

Welcome to the scent and bent podcast number 72. We have a Chris's off-road recovery situation to talk about

Facebook marketplace situation to talk about all kinds of good stuff for you guys this week and surprisingly the Facebook marketplace is not about me

Well, you found some remarkable things, but I could just open up with

I've been holding on to this because it made me laugh and it might not be as funny to you guys

I'll just tell you the story, but I'm selling my old camera right now and selling cameras in this local market is always like

Obviously a pain and like you're gonna get a lot less for it than if you just went through eBay

But I don't have time for that like so I list it really cheap

I listed it for 1200 bucks the cheapest one on the entire internet right now is 1800

So I'm like this is a good deal someone local wants it great

So I get these offers like how about $400 and a Starbucks card and like you know like what you'd expect like massive low balls

Gaming PC, but I didn't put oh yeah, what was what people always try to trade gaming PCs

Oh, yeah, it had $2,000 worth of components three years ago. Yeah, that market

Fast to be valuable. Yeah, it's worth 600 now

So I did kind of ask for this because I I was just curious what people might have to offer

So I put like you know might consider trades like what do you got in the description? Yep

So I had a guy message me he's like well, I really want the camera and I have cash

But I might have some trades you'd be interested in and I'm like cool like what you got

You know like skies the limit like I'm into a big variety of different things

So he starts listing off and he's like I got

telescopes guitars

Amps and then the message is like all these different things and he's like but what you really are probably interested in is my glocks and ARs

That's like trading one kind of shooting for a totally different

That is kind of funny

So I haven't messaged them back because I don't know what the street value of those really is but you know that is funny

Yeah, yeah, well, there you go

You know it's pretty easy to find out cuz yeah, things are like, you know

Pretty easy to find out. Can you just do that though? You can just trade in this state for one of those and yeah

I mean you're technically supposed to register it under your name once you get it. Oh cool. Yeah, wow

So if you want one you might have a

Yeah, that's I know for you

Marketplace is always interesting though because it you have a lot of time dealing with all the different people. Oh, yeah

Yeah sucks

Somebody I have the the wheels and tires off of the side-by-side that we gave away last year

I have them on marketplace and somebody messaged me the other day and they were like hey

Would you consider trades and I was like, yeah, I mean depending on what it is sure and then he's like also

What's like the I know maybe this was a different one anyway

One guy wanted to trade me for another set of tires and I was like no, I'm trying to get rid of tires

I don't want your tires

But no that somebody else was like

Asking all these questions about like the bolt pattern in the center-bore and stuff. I'm like have you heard of Google?

I listed exactly what they came off of

You could just go there and find out way more information than I can give you it's amazing

People would rather type it in and wait for a human to respond and that happened to me with the camera, too

They're like what are the specs and I'm like you're literally a copy-paste away from AI telling you

It's not like a custom-built thing. You know, I also had somebody offer to trade me a worse camera for the camera

I'm giving away and they're like they're pretty equal value and I'm like, but I'm getting rid of it

Like why would I why would I want a worse?

Edition anyway, that's hilarious. Well, I always thought it wasn't worth it and then I got into my situation trading my

Weird Chinese electric bike with the blinkers that purple one the Kawasaki 125 and I was like, oh, I mean it's worth it

Oh, yeah, like you just have to do it because even just one deal like that a year. Yeah, totally great

That's why that's why like when the guy was like, oh, do you want to trade for the tires?

I was like what you got, you know, maybe he's got an engine we could use maybe he's got a

Nice chainsaw. I mean I traded a completely useless

Lave that was like falling apart in every way for a really nice chainsaw last fall. Yeah, that's that was great

And the dude was stuck because he had the same lathe and needed parts

Yeah, and he had a ton of chainsaws really like just shipping if he bought that anywhere else

Oh, yeah, and finding even one of the little parts off of there. They're so expensive and so hard to find

Yeah, so it's perfect, but textbook one man's trash is another man's treasure. Yeah, I mean it was a pretty nice chainsaw

That'd be most people's idea of a pretty good thing

He was a guy that had

He collected chainsaws as a hobby so he had just like fleets of them and he's like yeah

I got certain ones that I'll just never sell but you know, I'm always wheeling and dealing them

I buy them I fix them up and I sell them

All right, I got a friend like that too. He's got hundreds of chainsaw. Yeah, it's every imaginable chainsaw

That's ever been sold really that's hilarious

There's that place in town that just had chainsaws and lawnmowers

But it always seemed like such a good business idea because you only need to know how to fix one thing really well

You can make a good bit of money and then you also have all these extra ones for parts

Yep, like you could probably do pretty good doing that. Yeah

It's a good hustle. Yeah, well and around here everyone needs a chainsaw

Yeah, and a lot of people around here don't actually know how to fix or use their chainsaw

They just or sharpened or sharpen it

But they know how they know that they live in a place where they might need it once a year

So they get a chainsaw and then they go to use it once a year

And it doesn't run because they put gas in it a year ago and then so yeah

Chainsaw repair is a great business to be in around here. Well last time I was at the ER the one in town

Oh, no whiteboard and it has that's not a good place to start

Chainsaws and last time I was in the ER. Oh, yeah

Well, it's a whiteboard and it has little pictures of it's kind of like cartoonified

It's not gory or anything

But it's of the ways people got hurt and this is when I split my lip open and needed stitches on my surfboard

Yeah, and so on

There I was like wow

The surfing one for a place very far from the ocean was insanely high

It was like that week 28 people in the ER for surfing. It's from the wake

Yeah, they crash into the boat right like face plant into the back of the boat

And you just if you fall and then the board hits you in the face like it splits your your

Mouth your whatever it hits whatever your nose your forehead. Yeah, because those those fins like surf fins just have to be sharper

They're not good. Yep, and the wave behind a boat is so small. You need to be pretty efficient with your board

Yep, and so but they were so confused like wait, you didn't have a boat. How are you?

I was like mine is electric

I was going like almost 30 under my own power and jumped out of the water and landed on the nose and they were like

Oh, I'm like, yeah, it's probably worse than what you've seen. They're like, yeah, I thought it was like kind of

extra swollen

Injury but one of them that had even in the middle of summer

It was like probably a dozen chainsaw ones

But you know the only one more than surfing and Sam point last summer was

fireworks bicycles

Bicycles was really high bicycles. Yeah, that's a pretty good guess. That was third. I think was number one

In the summer and Sam point, I don't know. It's also mildly boat related

Fishing fishing. Oh, yeah, people people stick themselves with their fishing. It was like 40 in a week. Yeah

But I thought that was so funny that I saw them when I walked in

That's hilarious. I was like you guys are definitely taking pleasure in other people's pain, but I'm here for it

You could add to the statistics and I know I really added to the statistics there

Have you guys ever gotten a fish hook embedded in you anywhere?

I mean not for a long time. Just like tiny little one when I'm like in my foot once and it hurt to take it out

Because they have yeah, they're intentionally made so that it won't come out of

Yeah, I almost got one yesterday

Yeah, you know how it was like 60 degrees. Yeah, I

It was the first efoil of the season because it's so nice and I went out there in my two mil

It was so warm. I was like literally sweating in my wetsuit. It was so warm

But then when I crashed I was like, maybe I should have worn the five

Pretty nice water

Freezing still yeah, but there's I went by the long bridge and

There's never anyone really like fishing off the long bridge seems like a weird place to like try to fish

Yeah, but I guess maybe the fish hang out by the pilings or whatever, but anyways like right when I was going under

There was three people fishing with lines in the one next to me

There's probably like a hundred slits that yeah under through yeah, and I'm one away from the one where I would have just got

three fishing

Yeah

Yeah, so I actually thought I was like, huh, I actually need to be a lot more careful going cuz

Normally, I'm like, you know, I check for boats. Yep, but like I guess there's no way I'm gonna see a fishing line

But if I went through really fast and like a hook just could you not get it'd be really bad

Yeah, yeah, especially if like maybe in my wetsuit that would protect me a little bit would help

I'm not in the summer. Yeah, luckily I think at least the long bridge thing

I feel like nobody's gonna be fishing off that in the summer

Because the boats are constantly going under it

So hopefully that's only like an early season thing because that doesn't make any sense

Yeah, I was I was caught off guard for sure

But yeah, and I just go through the train bridge right because those ones are solid cements you can carve them

It's like tree skiing. It's yeah way better, but but yeah, so it was I

Thought cuz like I wore my crocs and I went in a little bit and I was like

I don't think I'm even gonna wear a wetsuit

But you know how like the lake is so shallow right now because it's not full. Yeah, like it takes forever

So like once you get to the deep parts, it's still really cold

I mean it is still a water temps probably like 35 or 38 degrees. I would yeah

So if I got stuck out there, I'd probably die pretty quick if I didn't have a wetsuit. So yeah, probably a good idea to keep

Man, but it was really fun to get out there and stretch the legs and just I did take a pretty big face plant

And I really felt my neck and my back from my last power wheels crash. Hmm. I got a quick crashing those things

I'm on a roll. Yeah, I mean

technically I crashed into you

You come off the jump

That is the worst possible place to stop literally any other part of the whole track

Yeah, the whole the whole track everywhere else you could see somebody stopped and my defense right before we did that lap

We said we were following Justin and I followed Justin and that's where he stopped and I stopped right next to him

And yeah, just no, I think Ethan was going for another joy lap

Yeah, no, I'm not saying it was a hundred percent your fault. I definitely could have stopped as well, but like I

Shouldn't have stopped there either. Yeah

The point wasn't that it was entirely your fault the point was just like you the spot that you happened to stop was the

Worst possible one on the entire track and I know through every single sport I've done the one place you don't stop as a jump

Exactly, I shouldn't have jumped but in like the video it does come across even worse. What were you thinking?

Well, I was thinking that Ethan was also gonna stop I guess because that was the plan but well

We were following Justin and Justin stop the plan was to do laps and Justin was just starting out in front

There was no if Justin stops. I'm stopping to we we should definitely

Have those conversations in the future of if someone stops we all stop

Yeah, but Justin didn't stop. He was just in front of me and it started sputtering. So I passed him because I

Knew what his problem was I knew he'd be able to fix it easily and I was like, oh, he'll get going again

And we'll be back to do in laps and I'll catch him on the next one anyway

I was like down the hill waiting for you guys to do another pass and I saw just you coming

But obviously I was too far away to like do anything about it for one to go check if anyone was there

Right to like the only reason I knew something happened was that I just heard all the engines stop

I didn't ever hear like an impact

It was just if they all stop at the same time it can't be good. Yeah, well

I didn't really know what to expect. I was like, oh, maybe they're just like waiting to like fix a problem on one of them or

Like yeah, you know most recently we had that two weeks before that was the Lamborghini

And then like even before that like I was thinking we just need to make a montage of all of the silly

Stupid accidents I've been in in the last year because there's also the day that we got the team who excavator and Chris made the jump bigger

And then I just washed out and just slammed my face. I was wearing a bicycle

Bank

I would have been totally fine and like a regular dirt bike helmet. I forgot about that one

Why is the wearing a bicycle helmet?

There's the one with that that we made the shirt of where you're flying out of the honey badger mini dump truck thing and that too was like

Days before the motorcycle crash. Yep, and then I've had untold amounts of

Looping wheelies this year

Mmm, I mean we haven't been witness to that because that happens with there's the one where I broke the

True. Yeah, that one was here. There's that one the rest of them have been on my on my own time

Every time Edwin I say be careful. Don't make me have to call your wife

the funniest the funniest one that's ever happened though was when you were trying to pull the Chang Lee for that like

Ridiculous reel that you guys were trying to make. Yeah, the trend where you're like pulling the rope and then yeah

It's like you're walking it on a leash and it stops and you're like what's going on except you were trying to pull a Chang Lee with

A toe strap. Yeah, and just both hands on the strap just full face bash the mud

Yeah, that one was the funniest one my favorite fail that you've ever done though involves you not getting hurt at all

Really, let's see if you think of it. I

Failed, but I didn't get hurt. I'm just not gonna miss. Oh

Yeah, when you're pouring gasoline into the

It seems like a lot of your fails are also

Proceeded by statements that are a little bit ominous. Yeah like that. I'm just not gonna miss pours gas over the entire

Rock yeah, and then even this most recent one Chris was like Edwin watch out for rocks and I ended up

It's like I don't know like I trying to think of like

I'm seeing a pattern here, and I'm never getting hurt like

You're on restriction Edwin. You're on restriction. Yeah. Well every time I get hurt

It's doing something so

avoidable like it's yep

So my fault just being so dumb every single time

I think you just love the dumb machines that we either build or buy so much you just lose your mind

A lot of seat time on them as well. Yeah, I love them so much right like and I guess I am

Pushing it to the limit isn't the right no, it's not because you're always putting yourself on things that like aren't even that fast

Or if they are you're not going fast like actually like for example

When you get in something that's like truly

Ridiculously fast like the kernel or whatever

Really terrible you just treat it like you're invincible. I think this machine couldn't possibly kill me

That's what happens with the Chang Lee's every time. Exactly. You're like, I'm so slow. I can't possibly get hurt

But you can oh, yeah, if you drive off a cliff or something you could get hurt

Yeah, or even like if that tree wasn't here the day that we were filming that

Oh, that was a good one. I would have rolled it so

Hard if that tree didn't catch me and I still hit the tree really hard

You would have rolled your single-seater if I wasn't in the back seat that time we tried to go up that hill

Oh, yeah, for sure because if I didn't get out holding the car down and then you were able to get out

You would have just you would have tried to get out and it would have rolled

Yeah, remember I tried putting on the parking brakes and it was like

Well, it was funny because you actually got really serious all of a sudden and usually when you're in a Chang Lee

You don't get that serious, but you're like, no dude. I really think it might roll this time

for the people because there's a whole era of Chang Lee that kind of like

was missed in the videos because I

Broke it the the red one we did the hundred mile challenge with it kind of had its story

I hit the stump at Snowden when we snow tracked it and put a cage in it

and then we like blew up everything basically and

We basically wrote that one off the blue one was gonna be the successor for the hundred mile challenge

Broke that in like two days

No, we're near or we can even yeah bent axle

Tried to order an axle an entire axle anything

Except for a whole new Chang Lee

Couldn't do it even with the only Chang Lee importer in the US. They couldn't get just the parts just the parts

You're probably the only person ever request that like hi, I bent my axle

Yeah, so this new single-seater Chang Lee that you guys have seen in the background and a lot of the ads and like you know

You could probably tell it's being worked on in the background getting ready for the hundred mile challenge. I

Was so close to rolling it with Steven and that's why I was so quiet

I was like if I break another Chang Lee before even attempting the hundred mile challenge the curse of the hundred mile challenge

Man, it's just never gonna happen no matter what you try. There's just a curse lingering over you

You know what you should do is just rebrand it just call it the 99 mile challenge and then go the extra mile

But you know what is going to happen on the hundred mile challenge now, you know how I've been talking about how

It I

Want to start with it compete completely stock and then I want to bring like a handful of small things to maybe do minor

Upgrades along the way airbags

That would be good that would be good. Well, Ethan

I were talking about if JB Weld would hold up for welding the death

I saw somebody I think it was big-time did that in a time

Yeah, and if it can do doughnuts in a 350 Z it can go a hundred miles

So because what Ethan I've been talking about is I'm gonna be sitting there waiting for it to charge like ten hours

So I got to have something to mod it, you know, well, I always say I can do repairs, but like I

Need to like so I'm gonna JB weld it on the trail and I think all I need is a

I was gonna ask you about this, but I just need a drip tray drip pan to get the oil

JB welds some break clean break clean. Yeah, right clean it and

Yeah, and then some oil

Yeah, you're gonna need some sort of jack because you're gonna need to jack get the whole thing up off the ground because to get the differential out

You'll have to pull the axles out of it from side to side. I can just pick it up. So I'll just pick it up onto a stump

Whatever. Yeah, you'll just need a way to get it up off the ground. Yeah. Yeah, so I just need to make sure I have enough tools to

Remove the move everything which I should have anyways. Yep. It's not that many. There's not that many

Yeah, one small little bit of kit and

This time last time I brought tire plugs Chris. Yeah

No way to re-inflate the tire

This time a compressor. Yeah, so this time

compressor tools

Enough fuel to run the generator for 10 12 days straight a

Good pair of running shoes. So when you completely get stuck you can run out of the mountains about 49 miles

And I'm going to loan you my small chainsaw

Itty-bitty baby one. Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, I was thinking about bringing I have the same electric one Ethan has but

That's a lot of extra weight. Yeah, I should try to keep it because just in fuel

I'm gonna have to bring like 10 gallons of fuel. I think which is hilarious because literally almost any

Vehicle you could imagine would go through less fuel

Drive 100 miles. I mean that's 10 miles to the gallon like a Ford Raptor with the pedal to the floor a v8 Raptor

You could maybe burn that much like my truck if you're towing like

Everything on the trailer including the K truck, which is a giant wind sale. Yeah, you and you've got a headwind

You can break underneath 10 miles the gallon if you try on the original 100 mile challenge

How much fits in one of those?

Rotopax rotopax they're two two gallons

so we used

The generator was full and we had two rotopax and a jog I think I think you just had the two rotopax

But then you guys run out and have to go to town for more

Yeah, we ran out had to go to town and they only made it 46 miles and they started with a full charge and a full generator

So yeah, that's well under 10 miles the gallon and that Chang Lee charge

I've got I've got a great idea for the title of your video. Yeah, I made the least efficient electric vehicle in history

Go 100 miles. Yeah, I burned more fuel to go a hundred miles in an electric vehicle

Yeah, that's probably like a Ford Raptor

At this point, he's going for like 454 big block carbureted

Square-body range of miles per gallon a four barrel big enough to put your fists through exactly. Oh

speaking of Raptors

Dalton who won our Raptor for a giveaway came up here and we had a great time rallying around with him and his friend up here and

So on the way

Dropping them back off at the airport

They flew in at like a weird time and they're too young for a rental car

so we sent an Uber to bring them here and

they got

pulled over on the way here in the Uber because the Uber was going 20 over and

What I didn't realize until they were telling the story again when I was bringing them back to the airport was

So the Uber driver picked them up and he's like perfect five-star rating thousands of reviews, right?

He picked them up at the airport didn't say a single word to them and

The lights like the cop was following them for like

Five miles and he still didn't say a word or showed any intention of pulling over and

He just pulled over at the very end like right by their hotel

Oh my god, they literally were like sitting there for like running from the cops in an Uber. Yeah, just like

Yeah, it's wow cuz I was I was like they were like, oh, yeah like cuz I heard that the Uber got a ticket

It's like I felt bad it gave him like a big tip and they were like, oh, yeah

There's no way that tip covered that ticket and I was like

Well, what was so bad about it? Like he must have written them for like 19 so it's not considered because you go to jail

You know, so there's no way they wrote them for the full 20 whatever it was and considered reckless or whatever

Yeah, well, I think that they're they probably did write them for the full 20 because he didn't pull over

Shoot man, I'm like well that's his fault. That's his fault. Yeah, I mean I you know, but I just thought that was funny because especially

Dalton's friend who came with him up here

For the giveaway trip he was he is a sheriff's deputy. Yeah, that part's extra funny

He's been adds to the irony. Yeah, he's like a little guy was a deputy Elijah. Yeah, uh-huh

Yep

Yep, so so that was fun. Yeah, that's hilarious. Yeah

Wow, hopefully we have the limo going for the next giveaway winner so we could just pick them up in the limo and

Might need to clean a few crustaceans out of the inside of it before that's like a

Exciting option for people. Yeah, no, I'm gonna I want to try to get that started

We tried to do that live stream where we were gonna get it started and then we got distracted. Yeah, what even happened with that?

I was there was a lot of other more important things to work on that day. I see part of it

Yeah, it was kind of like one of those things were even finally convinced Edwin that we should be doing

No, I was just wondering I wasn't there that day, so I didn't I didn't know what actually happened

One of the tires is like flat and not in a way that's gonna like just re-inflate up there

It was like, okay. Oh, it's gonna de-bead. No, it's not de-beaded

But the whole valve stem is like cracked and like needs to be that's weird. Yeah, huh?

So I was like, yeah, let's like maybe pack for the the road trip and he's like, oh, yeah

Yeah, because I kind of thought like oh, just get it started, you know

Cuz I wanted to do one last experiment with the live streaming equipment before

Taking it out on the road

And it worked pretty well. I think the final tally by the end of the road trip was we were live

86 hours that's a lot. Yeah, that's an average of 10 hours a day because we were on the road for eight days basically

Yep, pretty cool. Yeah, unfortunately it

I guess we're gonna talk about road trip stories since that

We can talk about like some about the hammock one at least

There was one night where we finally got the equipment going to where we thought we were going to be able to live stream one night in

The stream died

Right before something very unfortunate happened to Steven that the only way we ever would have captured that moment is if we were live

Streaming because yeah, why else would we film ourselves sleep?

I'm also really curious because I was obviously like really tired

But based on that picture you showed me of myself the next morning. I'm like what was I thinking? Yeah

well, what had happened was is Steven and I were out looking for Bigfoot in Oregon and

We tried pretty hard. We didn't find them. I thought you were looking for basket people

Bigfoot was more

That's what we had decided after doing some googling

Because apparently Bigfoot is in Oregon also so I think he's

Popularly believed to be in the Appalachian Mountains, right? The stories I think originate from northern California actually

Oh, I could be totally wrong. I'm not really up to date on this. I just thought it was fun to walk around the woods

Well, we were looking around for Bigfoot, you know didn't get lucky and came back to camp

Pretty late in the dunes. Oh, I know I woke up at like 12 30 and you guys weren't even sort of like I went to bed

I don't know 10 30 or something. I woke up at 12 30 and you guys were still just out for rambunctioning around

Yeah, we're having a great time. I'm functioning. Yeah, that's a new word

I just did so

Steven and I when we're on like grind hard trips or up at Ethan's Mountain like we're constantly setting up our hammocks and like

Really crazy situations like one time you did from like super high up on Ethan's excavator up at the property

Yeah, well he went from the the the boom to the bucket basically

Yeah, and that was like how high off the ground though. I might have been like probably only like six feet off the ground

Yeah, it wasn't that high. I was like maybe five or it was high enough

Yeah, we've had all kinds of very extreme situations like overhanging rocks and cliffs and stuff and well even just on that trip

I had set it up like over these cactus one of those first. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so this is something that we always do and

This time we happen to be relatively normal just in between two trees

Relatively low to the ground like three four feet, but I wake up at like maybe like three in the morning to the most horrendous sound that's just

Like that like it I thought maybe Chris forgot he wasn't a tent and like woke up and just stood straight up

It's a cheap plausible tent that we bought on a road trip. So like and Chris is really tall

So I'm like if you just stood up full force

You probably would rip his head through the front of that tent, you know, you know

That's what I thought it was so I like woke up and I looked over to make sure Chris is okay

And then I looked on the ground and Stephen is just laying on the ground with a tiny little

Fragment shred of a hammock above him. He'd fallen completely out onto the ground clearly the whole

Full length yeah, but I just ripped all the way out and I'm the one that woke him up asking if he was okay

I was like, are you okay? He's like

I know I think I'm fine right back to sleep on the ground

I think after that's when I kind of like crawled into that other position

I was in because like it definitely woke me up at first but I was like well

I don't have time to deal with this so I went back to sleep and then you checked on me

And I was like, oh, I could probably use the remains of it as like a pillow

Because the ground was really cold. Yeah. Yeah, that was pretty insane

But seriously if the livestream would have gone like another hour that night

We would have had at least the audio from it, which would have been hilarious for the video

But that would have been really funny. Yeah, so we'll definitely have a recap

You guys will be able to see the damage in the video like I documented that part really well in the morning

But unfortunately, we don't have the action shot of it happening

That's my favorite hammock, too

But my my theory is I weakened it by gliding gently over cactuses, you know other nights

Well, the interesting thing is it ripped all the way across the seam at the top

Yeah, it didn't rip in the center at the bottom like the whole oh, yeah

It was like because it didn't yeah, it didn't it didn't split underneath where it would have been rubbing on a cactus

It split across the seam all the way because I I woke up before everybody else and I was just which I always do on our trips

I was like walking around cleaning up camp getting ready to you know make breakfast or whatever. I just look over and steven's

On the ground with his hammock just torn through. I was like, uh, that's a story

But but yeah, it was just torn straight across the seam. So I guess it just was it's time to go

I'm glad it gave up then versus many of the other places I put it at least you didn't land on a cactus

I couldn't believe it. He was still asleep. Yeah

It was pretty it was pretty uncomfortable though and the ground was actually really cold and my sleeping bag doesn't zip up anymore

So I rely on the hammock to keep me like cocooned in

So when I hit the ground I just laid on the pine needles and put it over me, but the ground was real cold

I didn't sleep that good that night. You don't say

Yeah, the the part that failed on the streaming setup was just keeping the

The laptop alive

Trying to stream from the laptop because our internet setup is

these things called star bats which are actually made right around here, which is pretty cool and

It's so funny. You're allowed to have a hundred amp hours on a plane

And these star bats are clearly a lot more than that like eight times that but you have one plugged in

That's a hundred and all these other

100 amp hour batteries unplugged and that's perfectly fine

Yeah to bring that on a plane, but if they're all plugged into each other making one big battery

Entirely federally illegal also, uh

It's a million milliamp hours. Oh, okay. Just just to clarify in case anybody thinks it's actually a hundred six hundred amp hour battery

that's like

You know a couple of tesla batteries. Yeah. So yeah milliamp hours. They're like

They're like a little brick. So like actually kind of a brick-sized battery. Yeah, but yeah, and so you can only be using one

Yeah, only one plugged in on

As a carry on they didn't even look

I thought they would care like they when we went through security

I thought they would get every single question under the book about them because like it looks

Like I don't know

Something you shouldn't have on an airplane in various ways. It looks remarkably like a hollywood rendition of what you should not carry on

Also, but or or even if it's not that it's like it looks like some sort of communication device

you should not have on a plane or

Like when they x-ray it they can see all the rows of batteries

Yeah

And there's a cover plate you can take off to look at that to show them that it's not

Did you show them that they're not all plugged in and it has all the like writing on you know

It has all the numbers on there to prove that it's legal for faa regulations

Dude did not care like he had to open it up take a glance and be like yep

All right, but he didn't even I was like there's another cover you can take off. He's like, uh, I'm fine

What and you're also only allowed to travel with $10,000 cash and

Last time Ethan and I flew we had a huge stack of premium stickers

And they searched us over that thinking it was a huge stack of cash

This time because we're buying these trucks on facebook and flying home and we don't want to stop at a bank

Ethan and I all both have like the limit of cash like massive water cash. That's the actual limit

But additionally you divvied it up in line while we were waiting

That was pretty funny

I almost walked through and the passengers who we were getting on the plane. It was incredible like

Wow, these look up what these four guys are carrying each one of those

What are these guys doing? Yeah explosive devices. Yeah, exactly. That's what they were. Yeah, exactly

Like everyone was looking especially the first class people were looking at us like dogs

There was a lady in first class and I thought her eyes were just gonna pop out. She was like, yeah

No, literally like in line

I like reach into my pocket and I have like 16,000 dollars of cash and I'm like, oh, yeah

I take off the top six and hand it to Ethan

And we go through and they still don't they just did not care that I got more trouble over the coffee grounds

I took on a different flight like I got searched and my coffee grounds got checked for

Whatever they checked for yeah, and I was like, huh? Yeah, they were more interested in my shoes. Yeah

It was crazy. Yeah, the only thing they actually cared about was your gatorade

They're like you can't have this do you want to go out and drink it or do you want to pour in the trash?

Yeah, that like and then the guy picks up my shoes and looks at him. Yeah, but this thing that we're carrying that has

Potentially way over the legal limit of lithium batteries on it. It looks like a bomb. Yeah

Don't care. Don't be one bit. Yeah, I could not believe like we even brought it says in the pamphlet that comes with the batteries

Like you will likely get asked for additional screening. Bring this pamphlet. It explains the battery sizes and what the rules are and everything

And like I had the pamphlet

And I made sure I was the one with the pamphlet because I read it and I knew what it said even told the guy you had the

Pam I know I did and like they're like, uh, whatever

I

Yeah

Crazy, maybe it's just so absurd that like maybe because those things are designed

In post falls

Spokane is the only airport nearby

Oh, that's you know those guys might have gone through that security like 50 times

Well, I'm pretty sure their own product. You know how they sent us the older version first. Yeah, and then they sent us this

I'm pretty sure that's because

This is like these are the first ones

The first ones the first production model of the star bat plus

Yes, but the star bat mini they had

Oh, that's what I mean that the mini you can't take on the plane

Oh, so I think it's yeah, but I mean but they might have been taking their own like for testing

And to see if they can actually

Like they must have at least tried to make sure that the tsa was going to allow them on a plane

Yeah, like there's no way they're going to sell a product and not find out pigs. We just like get arrested

And we call them and we're like, yeah, that that didn't that's not a real loss

Scratch that idea. So my point was just that maybe they were testing them

Or not not literally physically testing it but testing to see if if the tsa would let you on the plane

At the Spokane airport, which is a very small airport. There's a chance those guys had seen it before and they're like

Frickin these guys again. Where are they going with all these batteries that set up though?

so

I went

um

So yeah, I crashed that power wheels the last most recent power wheels crash Friday

on

Sunday, I took our live streaming setup up the mountain by Ethan's mountain to see

How far it would go?

When I was filming my little side-by-side video, I rolled that side-by-side twice so that adds to my damage there, but

Uh, but my neighbor who has the k-truck we put it in the bed of his truck not even on the top

it's in the bed, so there's

blockages of the cab and what have you

It's in the bed of the truck the downtime getting up there

two minutes of downtime

With like all the branches overhead and all that that's pretty good. It is an impressive setup. So we could basically

Like obviously Ethan's driveway to his mountains would be too covered

Yeah, that one's really overgrown and we wouldn't want to like stream it

live stream

This is how you get to my property in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, but I found this uh this blur filter

We could just kind of like blur the whole thing for a couple minutes, but basically we could stream

If we were doing some kind of cool

challenge or whatever we could stream from

Ethan's house to his mountain with like

Five minutes of downtime if we wanted that's pretty crazy crazy that the setup works that well that is crazy for live

uploading hd video in like

Yeah, couldn't be more in the middle of nowhere

It would theoretically work anywhere in the world like out in the middle of the ocean like yeah literally anywhere in the world

Yeah, except under the gas station room. Yeah

That was

Yeah, oh my god. That was so funny every time we had a lot of weird parking situations like

Yeah, as if people weren't looking at us weird enough. You're like holding out the gas pump like

Diagonally coming in from the corner of the gas turn around and go the other way back in here

Because for people who aren't familiar with mobile star links

Basically, if you've got a shot at the sky, you've got some kind of internet

The clear shot at the sky you got the faster the internet

So we had multiple of them merged together on the roof

Well, it seems to go through the trees pretty good. It's just

The metal it does not want to go through the metal rough. Yeah. So we didn't want to lose the stream. So we were

Backing in all kind of weird angles trying to fill up gas without losing the stream

Which was one of the funnier like

Corks of live streaming while traveling we had that was pretty funny

But a cool part of it is we didn't miss anything

like there's all kinds of things we weren't really filming like when uh

Uh

Ethan was in the radiator of this boiling hot radiator and Chris cranked the key

Give me a bath with with coolant

Nearly boiling coolant writing all over me and people were clipping the stream as we went and so like when I got home

I was watching the clips

And people's comments

During the live are like there for the clip too. Oh, that's what I didn't realize was

Is when that happened?

I guess like 10 minutes before that you were saying like, oh, it'd be nice to get a hotel because we could get a shower in

Like right before right before I got doused in coolant. So everyone's like, well, Ethan got his hot shower

Oh, that's funny because I think you specifically said like oh hot shower would be nice

We were debating we're trying to figure out where we were going to stay and everything. Yeah, that is pretty funny

So what we need to do next time is bring a hose extension

So we don't have to get so close to the pump and not go to california. So we can find places to camp. Yeah

Yeah, california coast is not the easiest place to find last minute camping

No, it's arguably the hardest place in this entire country to find a camping not even a koa or like a rv park like crazy

Yeah, not even it was pretty pretty crazy. Yeah

But yeah, that's that's a really good video coming out

Sierra when you're listening to this tomorrow

So yeah next friday you guys are going to see that it's going to be one of the best videos we've done

Probably one of the longest too, huh? Yeah, I think it'll you'll think it'll out do the mtv video

in length. I don't know it matters how much

Like

Since a lot of our problems were like repeating repeating. Yeah, like I think I am going to use most of them

Yeah, and we filmed every time that we had problems and we filmed every time we didn't have problems

So it's well, it was also just a footage and it was also just more days than the mtv trip and more different scenery

Yeah, it's over 70 hours of footage. That's a lot

Yeah

And dancing it down to two

Yeah, or less. Yeah, I've got

Let's see. How many hours have I spent editing it?

I think I did the math. I'm spending about three hours for every 30 seconds so far

Oh, no, that's not good math and I've got like the first 20 minutes roughly done

So

Oh, no, Edwin. Yeah, exactly. The math is not it's lining up to be a

It's a lot of hours. Well, you've always said that the first part is always takes you way longer

So as you go, you'll speed up. Well, maybe next month you guys

Well, once you have momentum in the story it is so much easier

That makes like figuring out how you're going to tell the story with all these shots and all these different things that happened and like

We just had so many funny moments on this trip too

Like the mtv trip was like different types of challenges and problems

But like I just feel like the comedy of this one was higher somehow

Well, and we went to so many different terrains and sceneries and locations like we went on the beach

We went up that dirt road up the mountain that looked like Kenya or something and yeah, like that was great

You know, like we just had so many and then before that we camped out on top of a random hill in the desert

We're driving up a hill that we had to go into four-wheel drive in the middle of the night

Yeah, no the um

The beginning of the videos are always the hardest for sure and then the more amount of footage

The harder yeah for sure

but

The mtv trip since we bought both mtvs from the same guy

the actual decision making

On how to tell the story that makes it pretty straightforward. I can see that. Yeah

It has this great intro you monster trucking over

Yeah, his car and his field and stuff and then it's like and here we are

It's like two for the price of one these cost over 200,000 new and we got both of them for like 15 16. Yeah

Yeah, it's so uh

So then it just starts there and then it just kind of tells the story linearly well this one

We bought the cars from different things. Yes

So i'm like having to decide how much to use of one and then the other and then flash back

So we're not wasting any footage and like mm-hmm. Yeah, so that took a really long time

But now that that's sorted it'll be

I'll for sure have it done by next friday next friday. It's gonna be a really good video

Yeah, and I got some really good music this time. It's exciting nice and

You know how the first podcast of the year we talked about our goals

And I was going to make an album

And I said that I'd do that

Not play fortnight until I did that. You didn't do that part. Yeah, I didn't do that part. I played fortnight

But you got your album done well no, I I have started my album and I know what it's going to be

And I had a dream where mac miller told me what to do. So I'm just going to do that

Is that song that you were working on on the live stream that like where I played the marimbos for you?

Oh, yeah, I'm going to make that part of it. Okay, cool

But yeah, I'm basically going to make the whole thing inspired by the lore of pepe and then do

well

Those animations that mac miller told me about that's like a pretty great idea

But then at the very end of I'm going to make a music video for each album. That's like

AI generated anime basically

Just the visuals none of the music of course would be generated, but

At the very end

Of the last song of the last music video

Because like the lore of pepe is like the same song on loop for like half an hour

But two of these amazing animations of

The lore of pepe

And so I'm going to do it in the same

Absolutely no idea what you're talking about

You don't even know pepe the frog

No, you expect him to know pepe the frog. Well, there's this like really poorly drawn frog. That's like the biggest meme

It's just a yeah, even as a crypto coin that at one point the market cap was like

It was a lot billion dollars. It was embarrassingly high and I was like, I want some of that

It's literally nothing except for like

nothing

Anyways people really like pepe and then the lore of pepe has been like a big part of my life for a long time

I thought it was a

Shrek. Yeah

Everyone does have a thing for green. Oh, yeah, I do creatures. Huh. How do you feel about your favorite color green?

No

I think it's I mean

I guess it was more of a big deal when I was a kid, but I guess it used to be orange

What do you mean when you were a kid?

Yeah, like aren't you still a kid?

I'm a kid, but you know, I guess I am talking about making my own cartoons right now

But at the very end I'm going to have mac miller drive by in a g-wagon and nod

It's gonna have to be the way the whole thing ends because it was his idea. I can't take credit

He just passed that on to me through the also who is mac miller

Oh, it's sorry. It didn't mean to laugh. I don't music

But that's it you would recognize some I'm sure I would but what I don't that doesn't I'm also asking for people like

They're inevitably somebody in the audience that has no idea

Yeah, exactly. Chris has no idea second famous white rapper second to m&m. I'd say okay

Yeah, see and that's a genre of music. I don't listen too much. I do listen to m&m, but like

Occasionally not

Daily so yeah, I'm on top of the world. So you know, I'm just chilling in oblivion. Yeah

An oblivion. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

So he's like rasta sounding or is that just your impersonation? Uh, well, he has a really hoarse voice from like

No, I mean like you're you're not a horse part of it

The accent there was like an imitation of like a bob marley accent. That's just the reggae there

Yeah, that's just the way that he sings. Okay. Well, that's what I was asking is if that was him or you

You know the reggae

If that was that was both I think I did a pretty good impression what the people decide but but yeah, no, it's uh, gotcha

Yeah, but he's an artist. I really like but what's funny is

The way he told me to make the album is nowhere near his genre. It's way more lore of pepe

Well, you did dream it in your head

Not mac miller's head if mac miller had had a dream

And then emailed you

Then you would expect it to be mac miller's head, but since the dream happened in your universe

It makes sense that it would be a lore of pepe universe. Well, I guess since you don't know him

He is dead. So he's passing this idea to me from the grave

Is the way I see the top comment on our last podcast is relevant yet again. It really is steven

Oh, what is it that edwin's living in a continuous fever dream?

Yeah, another universe. Yeah

A couple more universes. I mean that sounds like a way better dream than some of the ones you've described to me

Yeah, well this one is great because that sounds useful and decent most of my dreams are just utter chaos and

Mayhem and the end of the world. Well, I guess this really is what most music is but like

I guess I will be sharing part of my universe with the people

It's true because what i'm doing is like

It's not much like things you've really heard before. I don't know

Well, that's what's really cool about like electronic music

Yeah, electronic music is really cool because it's always something that no one's ever heard

Like even if you're imitating like a different or imitating like a different style

Yeah, like it's so easy to put your own unique twists on it and yeah, and you're not limited by the physical capabilities of an actual instrument

How old is the oldest person of the generation?

After gen z

Like are they in there?

You graduated in high school yet

I think they're like gen alpha. I don't know. I'd have to look that up. Well

Well, I'll look it up right now early 20s now, right? All I know is that the

Gen z's like middle to late 20s right now. Steve. I don't know. You're very close to gen z. I escaped. I escaped

I know but think about how old you are and then subtract two and that's gen z. Yeah, well, this is either

late gen z or

earliest gen a

The

Moscow Russia

underground DJ scene

I've

discovered it on youtube

And these people are mixing some really cool stuff and I've tracked down some of the artists on soundcloud

and

It is like a really cool vibe. It is awesome. What what genre is it closest to it's like, uh

it's

it's all

resampled like popular hip-hop vocals over like

rave beats and like lil peep type stuff and like really

overly aggressively bassy 808s

but over like

Really famous Kendrick Lamar songs and so to answer your question Edwin

Gen alpha is born between 2010 and 24

So the oldest are 15 to 16 years old currently

So this would be gen z later. It'd be like in clubs. So there's these it'd be late gen z. Yeah late gen z

so

What generation am I?

You are what year were you born?

You're a boomer. I think

Well, Chris is the least boomer boomer

But yeah, baby boomer because you're you're

I mean if I remember it correctly, baby boomers is like after world war two

There was tons of babies born because all the up till 64 and then it changed, right?

Right. I think so something like that. So the world was peaceful and everyone was putting it off

Well, and also because everybody came back from being at war

The ones who survived came back and were you know, yeah

Ready to have some babies

And you were had

Except I don't think your your dad was in was ever in the military. Was it? Yeah, he was in the Korean War. Oh, he was

Oh, okay. Well, there you go

I didn't know that

Did he ever talk about that much? No, he didn't like it and

I'm not really sure what went on there, but he didn't like it at all. He never talked about it when we were kids

That seems to be a pretty common story. Yeah. Oh, yeah, we need to talk about your off-road recovery

We talked about at the intro people have been sitting

Yeah, between the edge of their seats for 46 and 64 chris. Yeah, there's baby boomer

So you're right in the middle of that boomer. We almost have a gen we almost have

Everything from boomer to gen z here. Yeah, we are missing. Uh gen x. There's nobody here. That's that because we're all slightly younger

Oh, that like people in their 40s now probably that's between chris and me

Oh, there's the the gen x was in between there. Maybe steven's parents are that yes. Yeah, they are

But they're not involved in you know the channel so

How old is jave dave chapelle

You know, he might be gen x. Yeah, okay. Yeah, and I mean so and if you count people who have in the past been on the channel

Or even like last month or whatever when uh, vasily was here. Yeah, he's uh, he's gen z

He's like he's young gen z too. He's he's not far off from alpha. I mean like 23 or something really? Yeah

Whoa, that's crazy. Yeah, so

Anyway, so we've had everything from boomer to gen z on this channel. Nice working on stuff in this shop

Uh-huh, uh-huh, and then what's the new generation the people being born after alpha? I don't know

I don't know. I

You know if we could just actually start at the beginning of the alphabet now and just keep going that would make so much more

Sense rather than all these made up things like yeah, and what have you even made up for just marketing like oh boomers want

This brand of cigarettes dude. I don't even know

Like who makes up these names?

The boomer the baby boomers one like that

That one actually makes a lot of sense because it was a boom of babies

Like a ton of babies were born at the same time at an abnormally high rate because of

And millennials were the new millennium millennials. Yeah gen x was just like nobody ever talks about them

Poor guys poor guys that is the meme though like

There's like all these memes about like boomers and and and millennials arguing about stuff and gen x is just like

Hi guys, it is funny too. Like what millennials are like stereotyped for like

willing to buy expensive coffee avocado toast

good at using phones and software but but also like

Don't want to work very hard. There's one of the like stereotypes. Don't own a house. Don't yeah

Don't want to work and don't own a house. Yeah. Yeah, that is on

That's like our only like stereotypes and they're all like pretty spot-on. Yeah

I think most of the stereotypes end up being pretty well based in reality. Yeah

The gen z ones are

Yeah, there's the best

Yeah, anyway. Yeah, we were gonna tell chris's uh off-road recovery story

Speaking of boats

Well, my my story is down in mexico when I go there every winter and

there's a

some fisherman down there and they fish for

scallops

and they freedive for scallops

and these fishermen have

Like one of the first gen ford explorers

and they have the whole roof cut out

and

They have a piece of plywood

Next to the driver's seat and a piece of plywood behind the driver's seat all the way up to the roof

So the driver doesn't get covered in scallops

And the rest of the ford explorer is heaped

Out the top of the roof with scallops. I imagine the tires are pretty well inside defenders. Yes

Suspension is screaming for dear life. This this is their vehicle that they haul the scallops to

Where they sell them

Which is about a hundred miles away a hundred. Yeah

Wow, that's a long way to drive

I'm amazed that ford explorer still is alive date over and over. I mean at least two seasons

We're still using it. That's impressive

but

One day they they always come to me when they get stuck on the beach because I have that big 4500 four-wheel drive truck

One day they come to me this the scallops fisherman the main guy. He's

He's built like a refrigerator, you know, he's perfectly square

Anyway, he comes to me dogs like that

They got this thing stuck

In the tide it's in the mud in the tide and they're trying to get it out before the tide comes up

And they're not really too worried about

That they explore but the tide will come up and all their scallops will float out of the vehicle

Then they'll lose their

Weeks income or whatever. That's a day or day. Yeah every day

They then they drive the 100 mile round trip every day to every day. Wow

I figured they'd fish for a couple days and then go. Wow. That's crazy. What's the going rate for an explorer full of scallops

They must be doing well

That's also a really interesting unit of measure for fish. How many can you fit into a ford explorer?

Oh, look fredrik fredrik is here. Anyway, speaking of the dog. I don't feel like a refrigerator

I drive down just drive down to the end of the spit there and I I look out there and that explorer is like

he's probably

75 yards out

From where the high tide is the tide goes out crazy farther and it's real flat

And you got to be real careful where you're driving

Because he looks like you're driving on sand perfect sand and then you just go into a sinkhole

And it looks like sand on the top

Because the tide washes a little bit of sand back right over the top of it

And it all looks the same. Oh

So they were driving this thing and trying to get up to the

To the edge of the beach so they could take it in and sell their

You know their catch

And they got stuck

And I'm I'm sitting there looking at it and they're trying to get me to back down

There and hook on to it with your 12,000 pound dodge

I go no no way you guys no no that's not gonna work

so

that I mean now they're all sad because you know the tide is coming in and

actually

Before we got it out the tide was like halfway up the wheels

but

I said, okay, here's what we're gonna do

You guys go to your boats and you get every piece of rope from all four of those boats and you bring it

And we tied those ropes we had four of those

one inch ropes

And we tied them all together and we made four of them go all the way from

Where the explorer was stuck all the way to my truck

and then

Of course my truck was full of scraps, you know wood scraps from framing and we took

two by sixes

Layed it flat and put another two by six on top of it making a tee

and I put four of them

on under this forward explorer leaning like this

And so when I pulled all the ropes it would lift it out of the mud hole

You know because it was you're just pulling against ground

Yeah, you know pulling against the whole earth. You're not gonna win that battle. And so

I got it all set up all ready to go and they're all looking at me like

Man, what's this guy doing? He's crazy. I've never seen you know, they're they don't have any idea what's going on

And so I get down as close to the beach as I can

And then coming up over the beach

There's a whole bunch of shells where they've all broken shells off for years and years and years

So you got pretty good traction there

So I put it in a four-wheel drive

And I just take off and I hit it as hard as I can

And that that forward explorer

Just jumped out of that hole like that when it hit the end of the rope

It's like a giant bungee with that large rope. Oh, yeah, I believe it

Just jumped out of that hole

And they were like cheering

You know

From then on I was always a big hero and they I every time they would

Go out and get scallops. They would give me scallops. They would catch and give me fish. They would

I always had fresh fish from those guys after that. They always took really good care of me

Now now chris imagine if you had the mtv there you could have just drove out there on the beach hooked up and just

Yeah, carried that whole forward explorer all the way back

But I did that trick many times in san felipe where we had the house where you stayed with us

Yeah, and people would always drive out there and get stuck over the hill a little bit like this

And then they couldn't back up out of the sand

You know and I'd just sit there and watch them

You know and they didn't pretty soon they're looking at me, you know

And looking at my big truck that I had done was the 3500

And I do the same thing with just a four by four on a piece of plywood

I mean a piece of two by six on the ground

I just pop them right out with my winch

Just start charging them. It's like 10 bucks a person really. Yeah, I did

It was 250 bucks to get pulled out from a wrecker in town and I charged 100 bucks

That's a pretty good deal. Yeah, I made quite a bit of money doing that

And all those ones getting stuck were not local fishermen. Those were just

Retired white people. Yeah

Yeah, kind of you know, I not to say anything bad against the migrants, but you know

Mostly americans that didn't know what the heck they were doing. Yeah, they didn't grow up having a beach to drive on

So they don't know what to do. Yeah. Yeah

That's funny

Yeah, that was a great. That was a great rescue

That's a pretty good one

When you've been flying out of its pit, did the scallops just go airborne? They lost a few scallops. Yeah, but

You know by 12,000 pound truck compared to there, you know, 5,000 pound

Yeah, it just yanked. Well, plus a thousand pounds of scallops or whatever

And it just it was funny that thing just jumped out with those, you know, those

The levers and yeah, did they ever tell you how they emptied it?

Did they just like set up a tarp and open up the door and just let them

Yeah, they just opened up the hatchback in the tailgate and let them fall out

Yeah, and they had they had a garden rake and they just raked the rest of them out that didn't fall out

Wow

Do you put nets to get them or because they like suck to things, right?

No, no, they free dive to get them

And they bring them up in nets and then they put them in the boat

Oh, so you free dive with like a net and just grab them and throw them in the net. Do they like hoard together?

I've only seen them prepared in the dish. I don't know what they look like and

They're a crustacean and no, they're they're a mollusk actually

They're a couple different kinds. So like sucking on rocks, right?

Some of the bigger ones just kind of float around

In certain areas and then there's most of them most of them are stuck on the rocks the ones that they get yeah

So they go down there and just scrape their net against the rocks and dump it into their ford

Or into their boat and then the ford they have gloves on they just pull them off the rocks. They just grab them off the rocks

Oh, okay

Free diving that sounds like a cool gig actually. Yeah, it's it's kind of tough

I mean they lose quite a few mexicans every year to that free diving really those guys get really good and

It's amazing how long they stay down

Wow amazing

I could never stay down that. I mean, I couldn't stay down a fourth that long

Really some of those guys are probably down there for like five or six minutes. That's not that uncommon in free diving anymore

Yeah, pretty crazy

That is not a sport. I will ever be good at that's for sure

Every once in a while the night one of them just doesn't come back up. You know jeez. That's crazy. Yeah

But they make a lot of money free diving like that getting scallops and

And all kinds of crustaceans and they get lobsters and they get all kinds of stuff, you know

They go out at night and fish the lobsters

Oh, yeah, because they're nocturnal, you know, and they come out at night

They're pretty easy to get I guess

Do they dive for those too? Yep

Yeah

Free diving for lobsters. Wow. There you go Edwin diving and crustaceans. Wow. I actually dove

One time down and we're clear off the end of

of Baja way down by uh los los friles and it was

We got 11 lobsters in 20 minutes

That's a lot of lobsters impressive with a Hawaiian sling, you know what a Hawaiian sling is. It's just a bungee spear basically

Yeah, yeah, yep. And fresh lobster like that

You can't get fresh lobster like that anywhere around here

Yeah, the freshest lobster I've had probably was in Jamaica when I was there for sam's wedding

Yeah, that's that's good. He loves probably good. Yeah

But I haven't I haven't had a lot of fresh lobster in my life

I've never lived anywhere near the coast for any significant period of time

Anything fresh like that, you know fresh shrimp right off right out of the water

Don't even get Edwin started on the crustaceans. Have you seen forest gump chris? Oh, yeah, okay

As I wasn't sure if you were getting it but since we were live streaming this trip, uh

Chris and I just put quiet for a while just

Driving in between engine explosions

and

And he was like doesn't just be in by the coast make you want tacos and I'm like, oh, yeah for sure

And then Chris went on for like 10 minutes every single kind of taco

He's like shrimp tacos

Fish tacos the whole chat was like forest gump forest gump because there's the scene

Bubba's going on about shrimp gumbo shrimp scampi and it goes on for like five scenes and he's like

Well, I guess that's kind of all the

Days and days and days of movie time that he's been doing this

Yeah, but it was so funny because Chris kept going and going and chat was just like

Exploding with that is hilarious. He's like and even when you had the steak tacos and he's had every different kind of steak

Oh

There's never a dull moment since

Exactly

Yeah, it was great. That was a lot of fun. We did eat a lot of tacos

It got to the point where I was like, ethan

Let's go anywhere other than tacos and then like three minutes later. You guys are like, we pulled over for tacos

We radioed in

I was like, well, we didn't pull over and we're ahead of you. Uh, so we're gonna go to this other spot

Yeah, that hawaiians. Well, that was one of the best

Oh, that was so good. I still think about those coconut shrimp. Oh, yeah

Yeah, that was that was really good

And then there was the time that a random fan

Had been watching the live stream brought us tacos in the parking lot while we were fixing the fuel pump

Those are really good tacos. Those are good tacos, too
