[00:00:00] We'll have this discussion. Discussion, what discussion? This is a discussion

[00:00:04] Combustion coming to you from Denver, Colorado. This is Discussion Combustion

[00:00:11] podcast with your hosts, Kevin Batstone and Arthur Rawe. What's the threshold

[00:00:19] for a small town to not a small town like population wise? It's 10,000, 25,000.

[00:00:24] I grew up in a town of like a thousand. So, I mean I graduated with 90 kids in my class.

[00:00:30] I think the whole higher school had about like maybe 400 people, 400 or 500 people. It was

[00:00:37] about average 100 people per class. That's not that many. That's definitely smaller

[00:00:40] than my hometown. We had 5,000 people in my hometown. Yeah, I was sitting at the graduation

[00:00:44] ceremony like, oh my gosh, it's taking so long but then I didn't realize that like some

[00:00:49] graduation ceremonies you have like 500 kids in your class. So, you're really, really

[00:00:54] sitting there like for a long time. I just didn't realize I lived in such a small town.

[00:01:00] I was seven years old the first time I like really went into Houston that I could remember

[00:01:04] and I was like, oh my God. These buildings are so big. It's like a jungle but a building

[00:01:10] like a jungle of buildings. Yeah, it's like a little bit of a shock, you know? It's

[00:01:15] like we're up in the woods and central and hamster. So, like going into Boston as a kid

[00:01:18] kind of, I bet Boston's huge. Boston's pretty big. I mean it's old. Everything

[00:01:22] there is very old in New England. I haven't spent any time in Houston with the architecture

[00:01:26] looks like down there but like in New England everything is just so old. 1700s, 1800 buildings.

[00:01:30] Absolutely. Well you know that's like when the US started originating all on the East Coast

[00:01:37] that you're going to see more older buildings and things like that. Houston I would say

[00:01:40] is more culturally diverse just because you're right there on the coast so you're having

[00:01:45] you know, I mean it's just so the food that you have such good Mexican food but not only

[00:01:51] that you have really good Cajun food because you're right. This is the border Louisiana.

[00:01:56] Yeah, so I was down in Nola like we were talking prior and since we're talking Cajun

[00:02:01] food bring that up. I was here in some stories where these Cajuns be cooking squirrels.

[00:02:08] Oh you've never had squirrel? No, you had squirrel? Yeah, that's where I like I've had it.

[00:02:14] That was back home. Yeah, I have not had a backwards thing if you have not.

[00:02:18] It is my actually growing up my papa loves squirrel brains like pickled squirrel brains.

[00:02:23] Oh really? Okay. I've never heard that. You can get like pickled like I mean like there's so

[00:02:27] many things back home you can get like the smokehouse down that like I live down

[00:02:32] highway whatever but maybe like a few miles down the road was like Beasley's Smokehouse.

[00:02:38] Fantastic back home. Super fantastic. They serve in squirrel in the smokehouse.

[00:02:43] Pickled squirrel brains. Well, so they did they did pickled pigs feet? I've had that. Yeah, I'm not impressed.

[00:02:48] Yeah, I mean I got it as a gag gift and so I just gave it away. I didn't need it and I didn't

[00:02:55] just soothe it and chop it up and ate it for dinner with a side salad of ranch no. You just gave

[00:03:01] it away? Yeah absolutely. I'm not gonna eat that but. So like here in Colorado Rocky Mountain

[00:03:06] oysters have you tried them? No, I've had oysters here but I haven't had I don't know if they could

[00:03:11] have been. Are you a bison? Do you know what bison oysters are? Bison balls. No. They're bowl

[00:03:15] testicles. Oh good. Bison, but I watch a lot of people cook testicles. I'm not Googling it. It's on

[00:03:21] shows I watch. It's a couple different. It can be mountain goat. It can be bowl can be bison.

[00:03:26] It can be a couple but it's nuts. Oh really? I always thought it was bison balls. Yeah,

[00:03:30] but that's part of it. It's kind of like how all the answers. That was a little popular way to cook it.

[00:03:33] I'm curious. They fried up. It's fried. I mean so it tastes like everything else that's fried and

[00:03:37] you eat it with cocktail sauce. It's very rich. It's got a very rich flavor to it but I'll tell you

[00:03:41] what those nuts taste pretty good. I love some nuts like cashew. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. All

[00:03:49] men but I've never had nuts like testicles. True bowl balls. Yeah, I was on a work trip one time

[00:03:55] and I ordered it and these guys like what the hell is this guy ordering? I'm like come on man we're

[00:03:58] in Montrose, Colorado. Let's give this thing a go. He's like why don't you just go lay off over

[00:04:02] the fence over there and suck on the bull's nuts. That's raw. I want to cook. Yeah, I mean honestly

[00:04:06] it didn't it doesn't taste that bad. It's I mean when you fry stuff. Yeah, when you fry stuff

[00:04:11] it's like you know this kind of tastes like a cheat. Everything's good when you eat it. Right? Yeah

[00:04:15] so I have not had just a cooked bison ball non fried. That's where the true test. Do they saute it

[00:04:22] and grill it sometimes? I imagine so. You know I don't know. I don't know. I'm not enough of

[00:04:26] the Colorado natives to know but I just wanted to try it when I came here because I love trying to

[00:04:29] do. They don't just serve that in Colorado. Is that just the car? I don't think it's kind of like

[00:04:33] Rocky Mountain oysters. I feel like it's definitely known to the Rocky Mountain range. It's probably

[00:04:37] into Wyoming and Montana and places like that. Absolutely. I'm sure things. Yeah so either way

[00:04:44] I was here in these stories in New Orleans about about how my and this guy is awesome by the way.

[00:04:50] I loved his energy. He was great but he was talking about how he visited Colorado one time

[00:04:54] and there's just all these squirrels running around in Colorado like right next to you and he's

[00:04:59] like red squirrels. He's like what you doing running around right next to me don't you know you get

[00:05:04] eat up or rather like this sort of stuff and then I was walking around the French quarter in New

[00:05:09] Orleans and I was like after this story I was looking around for a squirrel population in this city

[00:05:17] and I did not see a single squirrel in the French quarter at all and four days being there. Did

[00:05:24] you see it anywhere in New Orleans? No, I didn't see a single squirrel. I was just like if you would have

[00:05:28] walked in some people's houses you would have seen him in the pot. Yeah see see and like so once I

[00:05:33] learned that so how does squirrel take how did your family prepare squirrel? Well I mean this was

[00:05:39] like my uncle he we called him Uncle Duck. Uncle Duck? Uncle Duck yeah yeah so honestly Uncle Duck

[00:05:46] would cook he likes cooking squirrel he like cook him rabbit and the only reason I remember him

[00:05:50] cooking it is because even we had a garage show when I was little and my parents had got us bunnies

[00:05:56] we didn't take care of the bunnies there. Okay we're getting rid of the bunnies. Yeah

[00:06:00] as Emma uncle Duck comes over he's like I'll buy these bunnies put them in a stew.

[00:06:04] Traumatize me like he actually did buy the bunnies I don't know if you put them in a stew probably

[00:06:08] but yeah I mean I've had rabbit yeah rabbits are really good like rabbit stews really good it's

[00:06:14] just gaming and she's just really gaming like now does gaming mean that like it's it's chewy

[00:06:20] now it's got that flavor it's a flavor it's like lamb it's like muddy yeah lamb's a good example

[00:06:26] okay yeah I have it's got it's got that we're like almost earthy flavor like if you have real cow

[00:06:32] like a cow that slaughtered not in you know a butcher shop not King Super's cow yeah well like a

[00:06:36] cow of a farm is gonna taste very different that you can taste that grass fed it tastes a little

[00:06:39] bit earthier I feel like I trust it. Have you ever had dear me Venison? Yes.

[00:06:43] With very gaming as well. Yeah bear I've had bear moose. I've never had bear interesting.

[00:06:48] It's the thing about bears it always stays so red it's just like it's hard to tell when it's

[00:06:51] cooked so you gotta attempt you gotta tempt that all out of it because it's so red it's tough to

[00:06:55] tell when it's cooked. It's crazy I honestly if you were to like get on my YouTube all it's gonna be

[00:07:00] is just food stuff and so honestly the weirdest food meet I've ever seen on a YouTube video was

[00:07:06] well meet and like well meet yeah it's black it's like black. It's what kind of will like a sperm

[00:07:13] will so this was out in like the Faroe Islands and so just an island that you know was originated by

[00:07:20] people that used to do whale hunting back in the days a very big population out there as far as

[00:07:24] whales go so you know it's one of those things where people are like oh you shouldn't be hunting

[00:07:28] whales but they only hunt like want like the islands really small and like there's probably like

[00:07:32] it's just like a village and if they use the whole animal you know you're using the bones for

[00:07:37] stuff you're using everything right that's that's a little that you're respecting the kill right

[00:07:41] you're utilizing everything and also they only kill like one or two a year yeah yeah but those

[00:07:47] shows I just like shows like that like what's going on in the world so so one of my favorite type

[00:07:52] of cooking shows on YouTube would be South Koreans street food cooking shows and and they're anywhere

[00:08:00] from like you know 10 minutes like an hour but there's no commentary that's the best it's just them

[00:08:08] yes slice and dice and you see how the entire thing is prepsos like what do I want to watch these hot

[00:08:13] dogs would want to watch these burgers get made yeah and honestly because uh because I like to have

[00:08:19] this kind of time like it's perfect massage TV so you give a massage you you you give oh I'm not

[00:08:28] giving them you give or receive a massage well and look I'm I'm giving the massage is here so

[00:08:40] so that's how that's working but it's peaceful you know you got like the sizzle happening

[00:08:44] you got the chopping happening you got the back rub happening and it's just this very relaxing

[00:08:50] moment of it's like meditation well and it's easy it's easy to get through the massage too when

[00:08:55] you're watching like this cooking happening because you're like entertained like given the massage

[00:08:59] you're like oh that looks so good man I'd love honestly I wouldn't be mad if I went you know I've

[00:09:04] gotten a couple of professional massage it was one on fan-line fancy okay yeah so um I would love

[00:09:11] for them to instead of dim the light put on the salt lamp play some soft music I'd love to just

[00:09:17] put on like ASMR cooking I love that let's just watch that together buddy like

[00:09:23] yeah ASMR cooking I've gone down that rabbit hole a few times now it's it's like there's so

[00:09:27] many different people doing it like I love just the you know cooking videos here's how we're going to

[00:09:30] make this right and then the cuts to chop in and here it is you know prepared but now like my algorithm

[00:09:36] or whatever has been putting me these no reaction videos where these guys are eating like Carolina

[00:09:41] reefers and all this shit and like dumping things to make it as like ridiculous as possible

[00:09:45] and I just sit there and watch it out appear just like I don't think I can do that

[00:09:48] clickbait videos just like oh shit like you got me yeah I'm watching it yep and it's like I

[00:09:55] didn't even I didn't even skip it I'm like 13 minutes in you got me I know I know you know when

[00:10:00] there's an ad in the middle and I stay the course you know I'm hooked oh absolutely

[00:10:04] they'll win an ad hits but thanks for watching our ads here on YouTube yeah yes thank you so

[00:10:08] much yeah we don't know when it's actually gonna drop it just happens so a little secret for

[00:10:13] YouTube you can select when your ads hit okay and we just we just like like like mid-roll somewhere

[00:10:20] yeah pre-sale or mid-roll okay so people watching it also an ad break will happen right

[00:10:25] y'all yeah so y'all don't get to choose like how what ad or anything or okay cool cool so I see

[00:10:32] better help all the time I'm like I just want to talk to me okay is this just something on everyone's

[00:10:38] they're like y'all think I need a therapy yeah I've ever seen better help a lot like when they first

[00:10:42] became a big thing but during co-op when people were trying to find therapists and they couldn't

[00:10:46] sit down live action they became really huge and then they were advertising on like every podcast

[00:10:50] that I don't know if y'all saw I saw it briefly on podcast and then it just seemed to disappear

[00:10:55] but it was like the bottle things the soda it was like water but you attach a little

[00:11:02] there's like a little thing that you attach to the top of the water bottle but it's

[00:11:06] scented so when you drink it you smell it and it makes it taste like it huh I've never seen that

[00:11:12] yeah it was just it happened for like two or three weeks on the podcast I was watching and then

[00:11:16] I never saw it again so I just wonder if it interesting so they tried they put all their money

[00:11:20] into trying to push it and then that was I think that was like huge marketing and then like

[00:11:24] it never caught on so I've heard about those water bottles that like have like a UV light or

[00:11:30] something in the cap and it's and it's supposed to like clean the water like the light the light

[00:11:35] the light like removes the water through like you because certain light frequencies can kill bacteria

[00:11:43] yeah that's true I should be so pure at this point I've done so much tanning and UV

[00:11:47] lines I should be holy but I don't believe it could it could but it could it could like if you

[00:11:54] look into the science behind it but yeah possibly yeah and then one thing that I would invest in

[00:11:59] would be those like survival straws oh those are good you know what you can like

[00:12:05] I've seen those like super filters out everything I think that would be useful

[00:12:10] well the amount that I do hiking and things like that I would absolutely like that's something

[00:12:14] that would be nice to carry have you ever ran out of water on a hike like where you're like oh my

[00:12:19] gosh I didn't I didn't pack enough absolute no no even on like the like I think the longest hike

[00:12:25] I've been I was like seven or eight hours and that was like a south boulder peak and if you as

[00:12:31] long as you have a camel bag you should be fine I think the worst thing that could possibly happen

[00:12:35] is if you go on a trail unprepared and it's slick with ice and you weren't expecting that and

[00:12:40] you don't have any spikes on and then it's like oh yeah you're busting your ass oh yeah absolutely

[00:12:45] you're like you know what you go ahead I'm gonna I'm working on this little ice patch here you go

[00:12:51] so this reminds me of a story in boulder um all is there with an axe whatever we're on the

[00:12:56] on the decent it's still spring so there's still snow out in some sections and then

[00:13:02] and like you know I'm my thirties at this point so I'm not I don't consider myself a young buck

[00:13:07] anymore and then all of a sudden these young bucks come sliding by on their adidas or whatever

[00:13:12] sneakers they're wearing they're not even prepared no they they are intentionally sliding down

[00:13:17] this hill that's covered in snow just like they're making better time than anybody and I have

[00:13:24] zero confidence my girl at that time she's walking down it like we're like simple step and I guess

[00:13:30] I don't know what that is but like oh I know you made your life yeah yeah yeah we're like trying to

[00:13:35] make it and then she she ends up slipping busting her ass oh she lands straight on her phone so

[00:13:40] cracks the phone screen I don't know if the phone screen saved her hip or not but that that reminds

[00:13:45] me of these young bucks they were just there's three of them and they were all handsome young men

[00:13:50] and they were just like even shirtless like sliding sliding down this hill yeah that was that

[00:13:57] big so you can do whatever you want with hiking there's a lot of different circumstances you

[00:14:02] could do it gets pretty wild you know sure but ice ice is like because I wear cowboy boots all the

[00:14:07] time and they have no grip on ice no grip right so I was taking my trash out I fallen three times

[00:14:12] already this year straight on my ass say you gotta walk down the driveway or something yeah it's

[00:14:17] kind of a little bit of walk out through like a parking lot and through an area that gets very icy

[00:14:20] and so now when I look like an old lady like scuffle in her feet you know as I go through there now

[00:14:25] if I don't want to go down again you know I don't want to go down I mean I'm seeing the grip

[00:14:29] those look like they got grip they don't have that much are you talking about your other ones

[00:14:32] or like do the other ones have that kind of grip on the bottom they do it's just I have more

[00:14:37] than you want to show your grip to four to four yeah take a look at these Justin cowboy boots okay so

[00:14:43] that those actually have the justines oh yeah he's got a bit of grip on that Justin's

[00:14:46] are you know about boots from Texas I mean I do you never heard boots I didn't wear boots

[00:14:52] what I live back home oh see well I was like oh everyone wears cowboy boots and cowboy hats

[00:14:58] I'm a wear sneakers and like like I don't want any part of that yeah I was like you know as a

[00:15:03] teenager like I want to be different so my town was all cowboy boots and rodeos and all that

[00:15:10] so I was like I'm not that what what kind of sneakers did you wear what what's the brand do you

[00:15:16] remember those like really embarrassing like off-brand skate shoes that were called Oseeris is

[00:15:23] Oseirus Oseeris Oseeris Oseirus I had a pair of Oseirus

[00:15:29] too I don't know if it's Oseeris Oseirus now I mean either honestly because I feel like it was just

[00:15:37] those were those were nice what happened to that brand I don't know I was curious myself well

[00:15:42] I mean they try to do it like as a skate brand but you already have vans and be a skate brand

[00:15:47] yeah so now were you also a skater no you were just wearing the skater

[00:15:51] yeah I was a bowser okay okay okay okay

[00:15:54] a bowser oh that's actually just a poser I did the same thing though I went through a

[00:15:58] like when I was like 14 I went through the goth phase oh yeah where it was like Jinco jeans

[00:16:03] yeah right because we're talking 2003 2002 here you know because mold and so it was

[00:16:10] it was like the ball chain necklace the spike you know bracelets the dark clothes I wanted to

[00:16:14] dye my hair black I was like yeah I'm gone wait so did y'all ever like disassemble the blinds

[00:16:20] at your house and and get like the bead chain no no not like like made made the necklace from I

[00:16:28] don't even know it was a thing yeah because because in your house they had the thing where like you

[00:16:33] could like a just a blind yeah yeah yeah yeah you're talking about those kind of blinds yeah

[00:16:37] and everyone was wearing that shit and it was just like like the actual string yeah

[00:16:42] the little time that looks a little beads you're talking exactly like the metal necklace out of

[00:16:46] yes out of the metal out of the metal beads I totally would have dated you back in the day

[00:16:51] oh wow oh wow I don't know the bead necklace nice but you got me the bake

[00:16:58] hurt this is fresh off of the sous-chalé hotel blinds right here I just told this from the hotel

[00:17:04] I said yeah that is too far in a penny dropper and I'll be like you won't believe I stole this soap

[00:17:11] you like you like you like you like you like the quality of these shade drawers right it's about

[00:17:18] to drop draws oh man the quality of shade drawers dropping drawers I don't know this is discussion

[00:17:25] good bush now that's certainly it certainly is you never know what's going to but I want to get

[00:17:29] back to Texas barbecue because here's the deal we got a talk barbecue for a couple reasons I've

[00:17:34] been I've had it all I'm a big barbecue connoisseur where's your favorite barbecue I'm about to tell

[00:17:38] you okay here in Denver no oh here's Denver well I was like obviously it's not going to be your

[00:17:43] favorite Denver's not known for barbecues Denver's barbecue sucks yeah we're known for like green

[00:17:47] chili and bison balls and shit dude honestly what I was like what is the deal with the green

[00:17:52] chili it's so good though every restaurant up's like you want to bagel with green chili like

[00:17:57] now bro I just want to bagel with cream cheese have you do like green chili though I do like it

[00:18:03] I just I just don't understand the obsession with it out here but it's geographical it's so good

[00:18:11] it's like new Mexican Colorado kind of yeah it's more it's more new Mexico like that's where

[00:18:15] originally hatch Valley New Mexico it's a lot of hatch Valley green chili yeah and Colorado did

[00:18:19] their take on it you know which is more like pork on a fork you know that thick pork in there rather

[00:18:23] than just a green you know smooth sauce or whatever and there's like a thick chunks of the pork

[00:18:27] yeah yeah and sometimes I like it you know like Santiago style you don't get the thick chunks

[00:18:32] other times you do it's like it just depends like when we go to last Alicia's I always get the green

[00:18:36] chili like I don't try anything else there yeah it's and I probably should because I get stuck on

[00:18:39] shit oh it's pretty good it's pretty good but I mean I'm just nothing beats like back home like

[00:18:45] you ever had gumbo oh yeah gumbo gumbo good I could gumbo good gumbo good I didn't even say gumbo

[00:18:52] is got gumbo good we like gumbo yeah look every single person who speaks any language understood what

[00:19:00] you're talking about right just it's just so good come on good I say brisket good brisket great oh my

[00:19:06] god also I don't know if they'll have boot and oh yeah that's not an o'erlan style yeah

[00:19:11] yeah yeah so good yeah so I don't really know we have a cage in front yeah Craig yeah yeah we do

[00:19:16] we got a friend that's happy oh crawfish just that was one thing that disheartened me when I'm

[00:19:21] about to hear like uh so I've lived on the like border of Louisiana and Texas my whole life

[00:19:26] so crawfish is huge I love it love the big tiny lobsters the big ones the tiny lobster ones

[00:19:31] and so I move out here back home you could get some really big crawfish 899 a pound hell yeah I'll

[00:19:37] be out here I'll have five pounds come out here and that includes sausage and corn all that good

[00:19:43] stuff and that doesn't include into the poundage that's just the crawfish poundage okay yeah moved out

[00:19:48] here I was like $25 a pound yeah what like I haven't had crawfish out here because it's just like

[00:19:54] I can't pay that much one apparently it was illegal yeah for a while yeah that's a that's a good

[00:20:01] amount of crawfish but the thing is when you get all the shell weight I was gonna say the shell

[00:20:04] weight because I'm just getting those tiny little bit of meat and suck the head we are you a

[00:20:07] head sucker sometimes it depends on how many beers have had yeah but I think we can't relate

[00:20:15] yeah how many beers if you're sucking head or not you know honestly if you're hydrated

[00:20:21] I feel I feel like the main thing is because they cook with a lot of salt right yeah

[00:20:27] yeah so a lot of casings you you you so I'm a genius I've had the thing where they poured all over

[00:20:33] you know and all over the newspaper and go in there and it's a lot of work getting the crawfish

[00:20:40] out of here like like at a restaurant no and like a backyard there's like a whole technique to

[00:20:45] it so like sure it sounds sexual sucking the head out of the crop whatever but like that's how

[00:20:49] you have to do it like you have to like pinch it and like and like do it and like there's these

[00:20:53] different flavors depending if you're like sucking the body out of the shell or like sucking the

[00:20:57] brains out like it's different yeah no it's absolutely different and then if you ever you know for

[00:21:02] people that are at home if you want to do a crawfish boil also on the side after you do the crawfish

[00:21:08] do some mushrooms yes do some and they hear me out artichoke I like it pineapple right you

[00:21:14] haven't heard that that's pretty good so I went to an Asian crawfish boil and it was like Asian

[00:21:19] Cajun fusion love that like that that's actually a big thing back home yeah Asian Cajun that's it's

[00:21:24] catch you you heard Asian Cajun that is good that's actually some of my favorite crawfish is

[00:21:29] like Asian styled black it's more saucy and garlicky there was a place back home called sweet

[00:21:36] basil okay the best crawfish I've ever had in my life but they have like they like you know

[00:21:42] in some parts of Asia they have like the the way the atmosphere is the just humidity and stuff they

[00:21:49] they can yeah crawfish and so it's like a big thing over there too actually which was surprising for

[00:21:54] me to find out because yeah it's so good sweet spicy that's a good good flavor on the palate

[00:22:00] and I was reading because we did it on our sister show happy friday we were talking about Colorado had

[00:22:04] band crawfish boils for a long time I didn't know that but the reason for it was it was kind

[00:22:09] of like they're like the CDC bands you know bringing in produce and things that nature from other

[00:22:14] countries they were basically saying hey we don't want crawfish coming in from Louisiana bringing

[00:22:17] in yeah bringing diseases or things of that nature because I'm not really sure if there's

[00:22:21] crawfish in the Colorado River I don't know I'm not sure if they exist there I don't think it's

[00:22:24] the right atmosphere it's too cold right I mean they probably got some things in there that

[00:22:30] you could cook up but the other thing I heard is this year is tough on the crawfish farmers

[00:22:34] and Louisiana's having there's there's a high demand for it and because of the drought last year

[00:22:38] in Louisiana it was so hot so dry that there's a huge constraint on on profit so the price even

[00:22:43] down where you can get them is going to be a big price increase this year and it's wild too bad

[00:22:47] our not six years old anymore I used to take a stick in like as I I mean I lived in the country

[00:22:52] where crawfish grew in my ditch in my friday art okay and so I would take a stick and tie a string

[00:22:57] around it me and my sisters and we tied like like weenies like weenies at a hot dog weenies

[00:23:04] and we tie that to the like really like a little tiny piece to the bottom of the string

[00:23:08] and like every now and then we get a little it wouldn't be like sizable crawfish but they'd be

[00:23:12] little crawfish ever in the holes like this big okay like do you know what crawfish holes are

[00:23:17] no no oh my god the litter your yard and like southeast Texas have you seen crawfish holes

[00:23:22] they're like little and they and that's all that like are on the little ass really how deep are

[00:23:27] well yeah I can't believe like my whole sisters yard was full of crawfish holes like

[00:23:31] okay yeah they were like you just reach in and pull them out no there so it's just it's just

[00:23:37] basically if you have kind of a wetter land uh basically these crawfish bury into the dirt

[00:23:43] well the mud and what ends up happening is like it'll end up building a little like mound of dirt

[00:23:48] that comes up about the tie okay okay and it's just a little hole like yeah and then so you'll see

[00:23:53] little mounds of dirt like throughout your grass like everywhere it's annoying it's actually a

[00:23:58] pest thing like does it look like when a lawn has been aerated you know when they they put the holes

[00:24:04] in there for aeration oh no it sticks it comes up out of the ground like it's raised at least like

[00:24:10] some of them are like this tall some I guess it depends on how muscular and inflamed spink there

[00:24:15] and inflamed spink dude yeah have you seen the dune part two popcorn bucket

[00:24:20] I don't know what it is but it's a bottle dude hey look it looks just like a bottle nature's nature's

[00:24:26] course here like there's nothing wrong with with the with the chocolate starfish there's nothing

[00:24:31] wrong with that and the hot dog flavored water there's nothing wrong with that I'm just saying though

[00:24:36] those little if you all like Google that popcorn bucket I don't I like popcorn but I don't want

[00:24:42] to put my hand in a bow hole they get one it's like have y'all watched dude and all I love

[00:24:47] fantasy I saw I saw the the the first part one of the new rendition yeah yeah yeah and it was good

[00:24:54] it was good it was good so you read the book follows along with the book pretty well um but yeah

[00:24:59] basically this uh excuse me um this popcorn bucket is uh based off the worms in the movie

[00:25:06] which are these giant circular worms with like teeth that go inward

[00:25:12] so like they made the popcorn bucket after that so you stick your hand in the

[00:25:15] okay spinked or looking popcorn bucket it's really funny looking but really excited I'm going

[00:25:23] to see that next week I'm only going to eat out of that bucket if it's extra butter oh absolutely

[00:25:28] you got to have the lube in there for sure you don't want it too dry yeah you know dry popcorn I

[00:25:32] mean you can put a dry seasoning on it but I like the butter as well you know so some got me

[00:25:36] about the kettle corn so I'm like stuck on the kettle corn in that caramel or no or is that no

[00:25:41] I just sweet I think what makes it is just sugar I don't I don't know it makes it sweet but

[00:25:46] some some got me on the kettle corn and you put a little bit of salt on top of it you got that sweet

[00:25:52] salty hit and like you know if you're and you've lost weight in the past I've lost weight too

[00:25:59] and you got to do these little things these little life hacks and popcorn is actually like a really

[00:26:04] a healthier snack so much better than potato chips until you get stuck in your teeth you're digging

[00:26:09] them out I feel I feel that I ate a lot of popcorn like at high school well it's just like I

[00:26:14] one of the reasons I moved to Colorado as um I do like to smoke yeah smoke T.S.E. it relaxes me

[00:26:20] it's like a lot better than just drinking throughout the day if you just lay or at the end of the day

[00:26:25] you just have a little smoke you're fine the next morning um but one of the like uh that's one of

[00:26:30] the reasons I moved out here and so um I actually forgot where that was good popcorn okay yeah we were

[00:26:38] talking about popcorn no this is you've been making some good popcorn out here no I know I know

[00:26:45] I got a lot of popcorn I forgot where I was going I'm so sorry you're okay you're

[00:26:50] going back to the videos the cooking videos these guys doing like Mountain Dew popcorn we'll put

[00:26:54] like a bottle yeah they'll put like a mountain a mountain a bottle do a bottle of do yeah they'll

[00:26:59] put that yeah bottle of do they'll put that right there in the middle of the pan and let it like

[00:27:03] kind of boil over onto the kernels and so when the corn when the popcorn pops it's soaking up that

[00:27:09] Mountain Dew Mountain Dew popcorn telling you guys if you could put popcorn with any pop

[00:27:15] what so do pop well I don't know about that I want Dr. Pepper popcorn now

[00:27:18] so you can be a thing it could be a thing I haven't tried it um I think it's I think it could

[00:27:23] be a little bit dangerous that's so that's sticky it's not sugar I mean you boil that shit it's like

[00:27:26] right yeah I don't I don't know man I don't know about one I don't know if I want to try it though

[00:27:31] I like just traditional popcorn yeah so you like butter salted cakes and stuff I don't know

[00:27:36] if you've seen that the grocery store I don't like sweet have like seven up cakes like

[00:27:40] there they infuse the cake sponge with soda huh I'm like yeah see anything that has high fructose

[00:27:47] corn syrup is the first ingredient I feel is going to make me like just a weak individual like it's

[00:27:55] it's gonna ruin my body and so like natural sugar like if it's like sugar cane sugar like I'm

[00:28:00] all about that yep but if it's if it's like you know added sugar or high fructose corn syrup

[00:28:08] I'm like get fucked because you're trying to get me cancer like you're trying to give me cancer

[00:28:13] you said high fructose corn syrup and it reminded me what I was talking about earlier I was talking

[00:28:18] about losing weight like yeah yeah I got into popcorn but one of the reasons I moved to Colorado is

[00:28:23] the reason I lost weight is out of high school when my parents drilled it into me weed is so bad

[00:28:29] and then I like turned 19 and I smoked for the first time and I was like I can't even tell you

[00:28:35] the epiphany I have where I was like y'all lied to me yeah lie to me this is not bad this is like

[00:28:41] natural and relaxing it's so nice and so um I actually loved weed so much when I first started

[00:28:48] smoking it that I would rather buy weed than like I had moved out of my my parents house and I'd

[00:28:54] honestly rather buy weed than get groceries because like oh my goodness yeah so the munchies weren't

[00:29:00] like kicking in no well I also did a lot of painting so as I would smoke and paint so you

[00:29:05] create a bond yeah I would just get creative okay that's cool because usually people are like oh you

[00:29:09] know I smoke weed and then I eat everything in the pantry right but you're like I smoke weed

[00:29:14] and then I use every drop of paint and and then in my house yeah or you know if I if I did eat like

[00:29:21] if I get the munchies it'd be like you know when I first started smoking I like woke up one

[00:29:25] more and I was like oh man I'll still buy lunchables for my fridge I'm only 20 I love lunchables

[00:29:31] still but um I'll still eat some lunchables yeah yeah well I woke up and I had open I had like

[00:29:37] six lunchables in my fridge and I opened each one of them but just on the corner so I could get

[00:29:42] the candies okay and so all my lunchables are open but just all the candies were missed

[00:29:46] because I just ate all the candies was it like just like an Oreo like one Oreo was like

[00:29:50] it was crunch bars this time oh crunch like a little tiny crunch bar fun size oh the fun size see

[00:29:56] that always confused me because fun size in my mind was like I can't finish this so fun

[00:30:01] it's so much fun that I came finish it right that's a good point yeah yeah and then they got

[00:30:06] this tiny they got this tiny thing it should be bite size not fun size yeah yeah yeah then they

[00:30:10] got like the family pack and I'm like honestly that's just like the value pack can we call that the

[00:30:15] value pack but what you're talking about the medicinal use of gods plant our friend Bob Marley

[00:30:27] Maddie corner okay let's all dance with Bob Marley so has inspired you to do some paintings and

[00:30:32] you actually you brought some of your artwork with you today yeah I did like shyly I did well

[00:30:38] work and also Denver's like I didn't realize the art scene in Denver is pretty big so big I thought

[00:30:45] Houston was pretty big but then when I came out here they have the first Friday art walks on

[00:30:49] the Santa Fe art district and whenever I was going out there I was just walking to all the galleries

[00:30:55] and I'm like trying to get an idea of like how to put if you move here and you're into this art

[00:31:00] how to put yourself out there and kind of get into that scene and it was pretty interesting a lot

[00:31:04] of the places are kind of like co-op like you volunteer a certain amount of hours there and then

[00:31:10] you show up at the end of the month and offer up you know some of your works and then they decide oh

[00:31:16] yeah we would love to have some of your prints here and so that's just something I'm looking into

[00:31:21] like you know when you sold some of your artwork in the past as well oh absolutely yeah well it's

[00:31:27] mostly to like friends and family member and then I bartend in for like six years so I just

[00:31:32] know we have a lot of people that I've met throughout the years that have come to the bar because

[00:31:37] I ice the bar to like the bar that I bartended at was next to the highway and next to the interstate

[00:31:43] and right next to a bunch of hotels kind of where a bunch of people would come business people so

[00:31:48] a lot of people from different states and so I was able to like sell a lot of good stuff to people

[00:31:52] that like food because I do a lot of food work I mean everybody everybody loves food doesn't love

[00:31:57] maybe that's where the munchies came in I'll smoke and then I paint food instead of

[00:32:00] oh that's me that oh yeah energy has to go somewhere yeah yeah I mean I am still hungry I'm

[00:32:05] still thinking of the food okay that makes sense still thinking of the food that make that makes

[00:32:11] sense so how about you share some of the art yeah do you want to open this up yeah we can open it

[00:32:18] up well I know sushi I didn't know sushi was so big out here especially when I used to live next

[00:32:24] to the coast so yeah like I love to do sushi over here you can see the camera right here like

[00:32:31] what it can see oh okay yeah there we go look at that okay so that's just a good lone role and then

[00:32:38] we have this is sweet ginger really local Denver sushi shop okay and that was their plate that they

[00:32:44] brought out that looks like that looks like a photo on camera it does so happy with it yeah that looks

[00:32:50] like a photo on camera that one super good how long did that take to paint or whatever goes into it

[00:32:54] um so usually I don't pick up paint on the weekends because I have a few drinks and it'll get

[00:32:59] real messy yeah I like paint and drink but I think this took about four or five days

[00:33:04] four or five days okay it's it's the shadow it's the shadow work on that it looks really

[00:33:08] I see that's what sell can you hold it up a little bit more for there you go yes it looks

[00:33:13] good look at that it's the shadow work on that one that really sells it right yeah if there's

[00:33:17] anyone out in Denver that loves to do art like loved to meet up we got a little ramen going on

[00:33:22] yeah ramen oh yeah that one's more alternative she's eating a burger I like that though I like that

[00:33:27] and that's natural well the thing that I like about it is like sometimes you know lose in weight

[00:33:33] and things like that yeah really count calories when she start like really focusing in on that

[00:33:38] and so the what I was kind of trying to convey there it's just like she's eating a burger and she's

[00:33:43] really thinking about it too hard because it's reflecting in the mirror yeah okay yeah so that's

[00:33:47] just yeah is that an aloe vera in there yeah yeah okay okay I like it so I like that one natural

[00:33:55] it's like a natural look right and honestly like everyone should know that we all feel imperfect when

[00:34:02] we look at ourselves absolutely and like from an outsider looking in like no one judges that hard

[00:34:09] right and so so there's like that there's that extra meaning to art and I think that's beautiful

[00:34:14] right absolutely like I agree with you holy there it's so hard to like look yourself in the mirror

[00:34:20] I think body dysmorphia like image I think that's actually kind of innately in everyone just a

[00:34:27] little bit you know I just think everyone kind of secretly is always judging themselves for sure

[00:34:32] but that's how you grow you know you kind of learn you know a little bit more about yourself from

[00:34:36] yeah absolutely as we get older you get kind of figure out okay am I gonna get upset about this

[00:34:39] am I gonna overthink that right and then you got the social media and all the things and all the

[00:34:42] pressures but how you should look what people you know and so there's a lot of things that I

[00:34:46] think that have come into play in the last 15 years that have really brought that to the forefront

[00:34:49] well especially with social media being so big like I didn't my Instagram I used to have like

[00:34:55] a good bit of followers because I would bartend and then unfortunately I try to log into my Instagram

[00:35:01] one day and it just wouldn't let me log in and I was like what's going on you get banned well

[00:35:07] I got on my other Instagram which was like an art Instagram I tried to do for like four or five days

[00:35:11] and then I just gave up on it but I got on it because I was like why can't I see my other why can't

[00:35:14] I log into the other one but someone had hacked it and it was Bitcoin this Bitcoin that and I couldn't

[00:35:20] recover it so that was really unfortunate because I met a lot of people throughout my time of

[00:35:25] you know that was about being from 18 to like 25 26 so it's just like a lot of people

[00:35:32] that I had met throughout the years but I was like yeah that sucks that hackers will get you.

[00:35:37] Oh yeah do you see it happen all the time like I see a lot of it in the meta world it seems

[00:35:41] really really bad I don't know if there's security walls or whatever but everyone's got like a friend

[00:35:46] request from the same person already friends with and they're like oh don't accept that it's not me

[00:35:49] it's always your grandpa it's like grandpa Marty friends with you who is this I try to make friends

[00:35:54] with those people I'm like I'm like what's really going on even though I know that there's like

[00:35:58] alternative motives behind that friend request and I try to do my best to make them feel like they

[00:36:05] got one on the hook right and like to lead them on to the point of frustration to where they quit

[00:36:12] their pursuit and like there's something super satisfying it's just so satisfying when you get a

[00:36:18] spamer or bot spammer whatever to like to like quit the pursuit on you that's great you're all like

[00:36:26] what you're not really a salesman like where's your grit like you don't really want to earn this

[00:36:30] scam that's my favorite you don't want to earn this scam I do all the time when they call me

[00:36:36] on the phone I mean most everything's AI and voice automated now here's your cars extending

[00:36:41] warranty but if I get someone is trying to sell me something like well why is that why is that

[00:36:45] well can we negotiate price like what are we doing here I like and then like add and then they

[00:36:48] just hang up right that's how you know you want yeah absolutely I usually just like

[00:36:55] but like in in in those calls but then they'll call you back like immediately so then I have to

[00:36:58] block the number oh yeah and you get the spam likely or it's like what is it what is it say spam

[00:37:04] likely or potential spam whatever it is yeah I don't answer those calls yeah absolutely I

[00:37:10] typically don't answer like if a number comes through if it's like three or three it's like it's

[00:37:12] probably a work call or some but it was important I let it go to voice man I don't answer every

[00:37:16] call that I don't know but to be fair I'm terrible at putting in like if I get someone's contact info

[00:37:22] I'll put the number in and then I don't know who it is I'm like who is this like you don't say

[00:37:26] the contact I don't save the name so like the number will go in my phone I'm like who is it

[00:37:29] again and then I'll get a text like hey you know this are we still on for whatever and it's like

[00:37:34] that's on me that's just four organizational skills by me I'd summon get better at

[00:37:38] you know when you meet somebody and you already know what I'm gonna say is you put it in your phone

[00:37:44] you put their first name met at whatever location you met at and then you will get you're gonna

[00:37:49] remember who this person I've been trying to get better at doing that but you know there's so many

[00:37:52] numbers that came your way and the people reach out like hey kid what's up I'm like I don't

[00:37:56] know who this is new phone who this yeah so I was gonna choose no I do like the artwork

[00:38:04] so are you in a position to where people were to like send requests your way that you would

[00:38:12] have the like creative like audacity like make this make it happen have you ever done a

[00:38:20] request yeah I've done a request but it's more mostly for people that are friends and family

[00:38:26] I usually just like to paint on my own and what I'm feeling I'm honestly and I hate this

[00:38:31] quality about myself is that I wish I could take on more requests but if I don't want to paint it

[00:38:38] mm-hmm and it's not something I want it's really hard for me to put that focus into it yeah

[00:38:43] get excited about it and things like that the only time I've ever been able to do anything

[00:38:48] like that was when it was like a marketing thing and they were like oh can you do a logo or design

[00:38:53] and like or a billboard or something like that and that's the only time I can do it because like

[00:38:58] so what were a couple things that you were like I don't want to paint that well I mean it's just

[00:39:05] like usually people be like oh my god can you design my tattoo for me okay okay oh my god

[00:39:13] oh my god you know what the power of nose good it is good to say no to things it is right

[00:39:20] I agree like a lot I like when I first started doing art I would do black and white sketches of

[00:39:26] people and so people oh can you draw my grandma and grandpa or listen stuff okay and I you know

[00:39:31] I did that when I first graduated but then I got to a point where I was like I don't want to do

[00:39:36] this anymore yeah and then I also I'm an insurance adjuster so nine eight months out of the year

[00:39:42] I'm working seven twelves and so it's like seven twelves huh good lord yeah usually uh wait

[00:39:49] so seven days a week twelve hours a day yeah but it's work for how many months

[00:39:56] work from home though but how many months and so it usually it's all based uh so I like

[00:40:01] I'm an independent insurance adjuster so it's all based off of like storm-wise okay I usually do

[00:40:06] health storms and flood storms and so hell season is usually like March through August

[00:40:13] like early marches if you're if you get unfortunate for other people but if I'm lucky it'll start

[00:40:18] off early in March and um but yeah it'll just basically last until the last hell storm or last

[00:40:24] hurricane um whenever that happens and that's good for you for business-wise like are you

[00:40:29] I don't want to say rooting for natural disasters but that that helps you it's like it ensures job

[00:40:34] security right if there's a major hail storm it's inevitable it's gonna happen exactly it's

[00:40:37] something that's it's a shoe in like it's a secure it's a security it's gonna happen every

[00:41:42] picked up on the mics I can hear it though so that's good it could be ideas yeah no it's fun

[00:41:46] it's fun having people in studio you know it it brings a different energy especially for a guest

[00:41:52] because you know when you come in here solo you got cameras you got lights it could be a bit

[00:41:57] intimidating you got mics in your face but then when you have a friend that's with you yeah it

[00:42:02] gives you that extra confidence and you are that friend today I am I am that friend yeah a little

[00:42:09] different experience it on the sidelines but hey you've been in the hot seat so how's it feel to be

[00:42:12] back I feel great actually I feel great I went on a hike today guys and I went shopping I actually

[00:42:19] got this necklace oh yeah let's show that off so because people on yeah it's looking good it's

[00:42:28] looking good what is the uh here pull that pull that mic in over there yeah it's pulled in you're

[00:42:38] actually the first person on Disgash Kombucha ever to sit in Kevin's seat absolutely it's so warm

[00:42:46] man yeah yeah and we've been in like we've been in like four different studios okay really

[00:42:52] yes this is the last one that you've gotten into yeah this is the most current and and that's

[00:42:56] the first time that this has ever happened I can pretend first time wow yeah this actually this

[00:43:01] is as a first time I've been on Disgash Kombucha and and been with two guests at once so low so let's

[00:43:07] ask you some questions okay okay what do you got what do you got so I know how do you live in Denver

[00:43:13] that's right I'm from I'm from Colorado okay okay it's it's tatted I got it tatted the

[00:43:18] Colorado flag okay I like I like this the lines I like next question

[00:43:28] with that girl in the elevator your girlfriend which I don't know when what time frame are we

[00:43:36] looking at a month ago a month ago in the elevator okay then yes that's my girl that's my

[00:43:41] girl I've been with her for four or five months now congratulations I told you it wasn't his

[00:43:47] sister I would be I would be sitting there that can't be that can't be his girlfriend no and she's

[00:43:53] she's she's from Venezuela and so much fun I've been learning I spent y'all and it's been a lot

[00:44:00] of fun learning the language and yeah that's that's my girl now and I haven't I haven't called

[00:44:05] the girl my girl in a while isn't it nice I remember those like days when I was four years ago

[00:44:12] five years ago when I still called late left first time I called him babe I was like babe

[00:44:19] like I call you babe okay it's just like warm fuzzy feelings in the beginning like it is

[00:44:25] fun but here's the thing is I don't I don't feel like the honeymoon stage ever has to end yeah like

[00:44:32] why does it have to end why's there's this misconception that the honeymoon stage has to end well

[00:44:38] usually in the solution I've asked you to do what usually ends when it's like I've asked you

[00:44:43] to do the dishes like three times like can you do can you take out that that's when it starts in

[00:44:48] oh can you take out the trash can you do the dishes like yes see everyone just we all need we all

[00:44:56] need to just like stand our lane here you know as far as in a relationship and like we're in the

[00:45:02] in the beginning of a relationship where you build the foundation right that is where it should

[00:45:09] look you need to stay wow that's how I feel wow I don't feel like I just uh the only thing that

[00:45:17] I counter with that is just that we're y'all well we're still young and we're growing and so

[00:45:22] you're constantly different people in different stages of your life and so it's really hard to stay

[00:45:27] at that same foundation when you're constantly growing as a person that is true so it's just like

[00:45:33] pray point and you should be able to express yourself even if that means you're like pouring over

[00:45:38] your lane yes so this this was fun so everybody's back in here now so we got we got to see swap again

[00:45:47] all right guys we got to see swap again do you want no but but I do agree uh and I'm gonna keep on

[00:45:54] the point that Rubin was just making is that it's true like just because you're in a relationship

[00:46:00] and where you started off in a relationship it's not going to stay there yeah and people are

[00:46:04] going to continue to grow and you need to allow people to grow and like and like have that freedom

[00:46:10] to be your own individual within a relationship in order for it to be healthy and not only that you

[00:46:14] just shouldn't be afraid to them you know express yourself even if it doesn't match y'all

[00:46:24] and that will change so in case the mic's not picking up you shouldn't be afraid to express

[00:46:28] yourself even though if it changes yeah and I'm like during the relationship I mean so I

[00:46:34] you know I've had a friend recently that kind of you know as adults we have friends that we see

[00:46:40] that kind of go through these rocky paths and they're kind of going up and down I had a friend

[00:46:44] that was kind of in like the lower parts of their life and at that point it's like I can offer you

[00:46:49] my support but I have to distance myself from you so then eventually once that person started

[00:46:55] realizing like oh my gosh like you know I'm kind of getting making bad decisions and not really

[00:47:01] like progressing in my life and so when they come back around I'm still here for you and it's just

[00:47:06] there's a lot of people out there that will just cut those people off and they're like oh you're

[00:47:10] doing it and like you know I don't want nothing to do with you I don't care if you get better

[00:47:14] and so when I think about that when I was 20 and 21 if my best friends like I've you know I go down

[00:47:22] I do the same thing I think it's a normal human thing to do at one point when I was 21-20 and

[00:47:27] I was going out a lot like some of my friends cut like didn't cut me off they distance from me

[00:47:32] but they let me know that oh we'll be there whenever you come you know like whenever you realize

[00:47:37] hey you're fucking up yeah and so if I cut off everyone in my life whenever they get to a low point

[00:47:44] I wouldn't have any friends that's true yep and so it's just the same way that if everyone that I was

[00:47:49] friends with when I got to a low point cut me out of their lives forever I wouldn't have any

[00:47:54] friends and so you just have to realize like respect people's growth when it comes to that

[00:47:59] up and down especially in a relationship because that's your other half so you got to respect

[00:48:04] that growth absolutely yeah and I think like we touched on a little bit of freedom it helps in

[00:48:09] there too giving people space to say what they need to say do what they need to do and not be you

[00:48:13] know smothering over pursuing stuff like that because all that's really going to do is push people

[00:48:17] away I feel like like you said I mean you know friends in low places as Garth Brooks would say

[00:48:21] it's always be like I know when I'm having a bad day I can call art or somebody's going to pick up

[00:48:24] and be there for me and that's a great thing family and friends and relationships those make us

[00:48:27] you know I think that's worth more than money in my opinion oh absolutely especially moving out

[00:48:31] here I realized like oh man I realize that yeah working from home I was so worried I'm not gonna

[00:48:38] make any friends I'm on my balcony like hey like other guy on his bug and hey how's your coffee

[00:48:45] and he's like weird you know you worked as a bartender for six years you said right

[00:48:51] oh yeah so living that extra life style constantly having that social interaction we take that

[00:48:54] away I mean that's like you know during the COVID deal when we had to shut down the podcast I was like

[00:48:59] what what are we gonna do right you know it was a lot of people lost that social interaction and

[00:49:03] then that's when you know the Google meets and the you know face time and all that stuff came really

[00:49:07] popular and it's like you know it's a great tool but I just feel like it's really driven a wall in

[00:49:13] between social interaction now like well doing in this room right now is tremendous and having

[00:49:17] real conversations don't look at other phones it's just terrific and I feel like I want to as

[00:49:22] podcasters I want to try to preserve that as much as we can you know and capture that real experience

[00:49:26] in real conversation I missed those like a back when I used to Barton which is like three or three

[00:49:32] or so years ago I missed the genuine conversations I'd have at the bar you know granted it would be like

[00:49:38] you know you go to the back and you're like drinking a soda and you're like oh I want to go home

[00:49:42] but then you walk back out and you're like hey what's up guys you know I do actually miss those days

[00:49:48] of having that genuine interaction you know so weird because I was still bartending when COVID

[00:49:53] happened and it shut down the bars that I worked at and then when it opened back up people didn't

[00:49:58] act the same like people didn't act the same when they started coming back out from COVID it was just

[00:50:03] like people almost forgot how to act in public or they were just so excited to be back out and

[00:50:10] drinking and with friends in public and like just honestly it was so chaotic so it was like

[00:50:16] it was ramped up it was so ramped up like whenever the bar started like fully opening now granted

[00:50:23] in Texas people were it was so different than compared to here people in Texas were fighting not

[00:50:28] not to wear the masks right they were just this is my own ride I'm not wearing this mask and that

[00:50:32] was so stupid I'll just go ahead and say this right here I don't care if it gets demonetized or

[00:50:36] not but that was some fear-mongering bullshit yeah yeah absolutely yeah 100% we could definitely

[00:50:43] go down a rabbit hole there yeah especially in I've done it in Texas so many times nights

[00:50:49] around the fire where we were talking about it like absolutely so yeah I said enough on that topic

[00:50:55] people know where I stand 24 now okay so it's like still a thing it's unreal yeah

[00:51:00] yeah other still some masks places yeah yeah and look I don't know probably people were a

[00:51:04] mass that's their choice my I'm a huge subscriber to my body my choice yeah women's rights vaccinations

[00:51:09] all that shit if you want to get it get it if you don't mandate anything I'm not a fan of

[00:51:14] banning things and I'm not a fan of mandating things one thing in Texas when they did the abortion

[00:51:19] laws is like it's just also one of the reasons I just want to move out of Texas like I just don't

[00:51:23] like the rights they're taken away from certain individuals yeah but yeah now Texas has some

[00:51:30] some weird like they just made so here's a question for you prostitution okay they made that a felony

[00:51:35] in Texas yeah no I didn't know that so the very first podcast we ever did 248 episodes ago I took

[00:51:41] a stance that I believe prostitution should be legal I also want to say it's a service your

[00:51:46] pain I mean they're making money for their families like they're not it's not yeah if you're

[00:51:50] both people are consenting what you're paying for a service yeah haircut a massage right whatever

[00:51:57] the case may be right it's no it's no different in my opinion and I just don't see why it should be

[00:52:00] a felony charge when you know you go out to the bar get drunk find someone do it for free but

[00:52:04] if I offer him a donation all of a sudden I'm a felon I don't understand the con like I usually

[00:52:09] when I feel like a law is in places because there's consequences consequences that affect the

[00:52:14] general public and these cases I don't under like you know prostitution like you have two consenting

[00:52:20] parties the only consequence consequences that would happen would be onto them like each other like

[00:52:26] STDs or something like that if they weren't careful but they're aware of that but that's their own

[00:52:30] consequence it's not a threat to the public safety it's not anything like that you know so yeah

[00:52:36] just like any any type of workforce if we're just talking about work forces and we are legalizing

[00:52:42] that workforce there is gonna be misbehavior there's gonna be misuse there's going to be misconduct

[00:52:48] and like areas where it's it's not okay right but if it's legalized then that will probably

[00:52:54] decrease the likelihood of that stuff happening opposed to it being in illegal practice

[00:52:59] right to where it's like I can it's it's I'm doing something illegal I'm going to mis-treat

[00:53:04] this person and they can't say shit right so if it's illegal practice it actually it might make

[00:53:09] it safer you might it might actually make I would agree with that safer it eliminates a lot of the

[00:53:15] black market a lot of the the bullshit that can that can happen if you regulate it right and

[00:53:19] I can go into guns on that too which I won't but kind of the same thing if you take things away

[00:53:23] it's going to create for more problems right now I mean I agree with that like I mean obviously

[00:53:28] that can fall into a lot of categories as far as like legalizing weed in Texas if you regulate

[00:53:34] it and honestly you could do a lot for the state as far as like the taxes you get from it and what

[00:53:38] it does cash crop yeah so I was just like yeah no I get where you're coming from

[00:53:41] I guess and now you know Denver's kind of leading the charge on on mushrooms and I support the

[00:53:46] mushroom movement I saw that people yeah no I have never done it like but I I see on Facebook

[00:53:52] I get on Facebook marketplace when I'm bored which is like what did they got today

[00:53:55] and so sometimes I see like I've been seeing a lot of mushroom stickers okay I'm like what is

[00:54:02] that yeah they say mushroom stickers and so I clicked on like one of the ads and it's like

[00:54:08] um I think what it is is like people are selling mushrooms like actual mushrooms on Facebook

[00:54:14] marketplace but they disguise it as mushroom stickers and then they put their prices underneath

[00:54:18] and it's just stickers but it's really it's really like mushrooms in all while psychedelic mushrooms

[00:54:24] that's actually pretty brilliant to find a loophole in the system not that I would say to support

[00:54:27] that and Facebook never ordered it but I just I mean I saw once I like looked up mushroom stickers

[00:54:34] there's a lot of people doing it and then a lot of them like the the ad photo will be stickers

[00:54:40] and then underneath it'll be the actual photos of the the actual mushroom if I did a mushy sticker

[00:54:47] on fb it would be called the mush rush the mushroom the mush rush and it would be like a picture of

[00:54:56] like a mountain where the cap of the mountain was like the cap of the mushroom you thought you thought

[00:55:01] it you thought about this and the stem the stem is the path leading to the top of the mountain

[00:55:10] let's call the mush rush I mean that's kind of brilliant this is I mean and I do after a joint

[00:55:15] huh really I mean that's good marketing especially but yeah don't leave that charge you know with

[00:55:20] with magic mushrooms I don't know where you stand on it but I dabble a little bit I'm microtissed

[00:55:25] great I don't like to full send like when shit starts moving I get freaked out it gets weird

[00:55:29] you know I like just a little bit at a time and that's all the not all the time like when my fish

[00:55:33] tank starts breathing I know it's too much you know pump the brakes a little bit let's let it

[00:55:38] down and that's why do smelling salts and we're gonna do a little bit live action for I think

[00:55:42] 34th week in a row yep smelling salt shout out to John out there in Kansas City four-time bodybuilding

[00:55:46] champ UFC fighter badass pretty cool stuff so smelling salts you've never done it no never have no

[00:55:53] and so Ruben took a fat sniff out of this he did before the episodes and honestly Ruben I give

[00:56:00] you props on that like how you went in you went in full committed on that so the past few weeks

[00:56:05] oh yeah the popper I learned about poppers which we can we can get into

[00:56:08] production discussion discussion that's actually pretty good you should do another podcast

[00:56:14] little side one yeah there was there was some rumblings of that for a bit we don't know if that's

[00:56:18] gonna happen or not but it'd be a seduction discussion conversation so the past few weeks I've

[00:56:22] taken the first rip I think we're gonna hand it off to the guest here good good shake I'm gonna let

[00:56:27] you go in yeah first sniff yeah it's kind of reading the back here where it says something about

[00:56:33] cotton balls but there is cotton ball you do it about six inches away from so you know go in kind

[00:56:39] of you know conservatively I wouldn't just go in there and give it a rip give us some space kind

[00:56:43] of see what you're dealing with oh yeah well so that's what the they do that before they lift

[00:56:49] and apparently they do that before sex too I'm learning but it's different that just like

[00:56:53] um that was like really bright will I think just like how potent the smell is how strong it is

[00:56:58] is what would you describe the water in a little bit yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[00:57:01] the smell adds uh cleaning materials or something oh yeah I've had a few descriptions I just

[00:57:06] want to smell the wood cool chlorine somebody said dead animal yeah I don't smell that I never

[00:57:11] smelled a dead animal like that forget what the other description was but that's usually

[00:57:15] you know it's ammonia so like cat piss could be another one that's described as Nelsalon yeah

[00:57:21] I can see that okay it definitely like it's like it burns like a little bit in your nose

[00:57:26] right here but that's like yeah the first sniff you're like it's yeah it's yeah I didn't

[00:57:31] say that it's fun though kind of wakes you up I'll give it a I'll give it a I'll give it a

[00:57:38] I'll give it a like you said I don't know I don't know for how long though for how long does it

[00:57:43] like it almost like for me like I feel just the same I did like but at the same time how quick

[00:57:49] it was like if I was about to go do something you want this see here's the thing though if I

[00:57:55] want to hike I would want that yeah yeah yeah kind of bring you back yeah or like you know give

[00:58:00] you a lift so like people my mom was telling me she she had a time where she was in a hospital

[00:58:04] situation and passed out a wheelchair or something and they gave her that to bring her back yeah

[00:58:08] like from like you're well stuck and so like it'll bring people back to pass out I can see that

[00:58:13] athlete yeah did you put that right next to you nose you like it's gonna it's gonna do something

[00:58:17] there's any life left in you it's going to react you're gonna smell it immediately

[00:58:22] yeah it's gonna do something yeah it's not insults it's like honestly I would want that on a

[00:58:27] hike like I like those like seven hour hikes like whenever you're you know you're taking a break

[00:58:32] after 45 an hour you're like what I decide to do this hike that would be great so like

[00:58:38] be like all right let's go all right you know I know why I decided to let's go again

[00:58:42] yeah it's a monies yes that's definitely because our buddy Clint who you know always has

[00:58:48] something to say he's kind of a behind the scenes a little bit of a contributor to the show

[00:58:51] he's like man just buy a bottle of ammonia and sniff that you know because he

[00:58:55] I was like I heard of it like here like this is the first time I've like heard of it like I'm

[00:59:01] still in the ovens about I don't know I'm still kind of like on the fence about it like

[00:59:06] like even though I sniff salts weekly right now even though I'm sniffing

[00:59:12] sniffing them on the weekly I'm unsure about them like I don't know how I feel about it

[00:59:16] it's definitely you don't want to do it all day long all day strong no yeah just like anything

[00:59:20] and moderation kind of thing you don't want to like I don't know if you get addicted to that but

[00:59:24] Rubens over here full-sand ripened tater chip and all the smelling salts and they're strong

[00:59:33] he's going in for another sniff this slow sniff the slow deep sniff it seems to work well

[00:59:38] but one question that we ask every single guest that comes on the program and we want to make

[00:59:44] sure to add do you remember the question when we were in here actually when we were driving

[00:59:48] here I was like what was that question so I can prep myself okay but like I forgot

[00:59:51] I decided it even better live actually you run it cap all right so the question is if the

[00:59:55] famous discussion combustion podcast question if you could offer one piece of advice

[00:59:58] that if everybody heard this tomorrow or today or whenever they listen today tonight tomorrow

[01:00:03] good morning good afternoon good night people would be better off hearing this piece of advice what would

[01:00:07] it be oh um oh god I don't know I'm gonna say something weird if you like grapefruit you're in a

[01:00:14] cult because grapefruit so nasty like so I'm like don't don't like grapefruit it's gross

[01:00:26] I think I'm missing some no sorry so so the piece of advice is you made it

[01:00:34] don't eat grapefruit no honestly I was on the on the fence for grapefruit for a long time but

[01:00:40] but your your clown you're clowning a little bit on that I'm sorry yeah I don't know

[01:00:44] this dude do you not like grapefruit now I'm confused no it's horrible and so I think it's so

[01:00:49] horrible that people that like it are lying in their all in a cult or something really it's so bad

[01:00:53] has to have sugar on it I didn't like it until I had covid like that because you couldn't taste it

[01:00:59] but it's still what do you mean but I'm not I'm not eating the fruit I'm like having the grapefruit

[01:01:04] drinks but grapefruit is bitter yeah it's like it's so bitter it's way you need the sugar to even

[01:01:10] out the bitterness and that's why I'm messing up I was just like it's so bitter that even sugar can

[01:01:14] help this but if I had to give a little advice sugar helps a little bit in life with everything

[01:01:21] so I don't know sugar to everything be sweet to yourself I like that we always say

[01:01:26] to good to yourself be sweet to yourself I let it myself there be sweet to yourself that was

[01:01:30] a good rebound I like that that was pretty good yeah because now I'm like on this whole grapefruit

[01:01:35] thing I think great for me I don't eat it very often but when I do it's usually sliced and

[01:01:39] hat like I'm pictured how I've eaten it it's sliced in half and there's sugar on it and you kind

[01:01:42] of like you know you cut out some slices and eat it with spoon or whatever there's like one of

[01:01:46] the things when I was like one of those things and I was losing weight people like grapefruit so good

[01:01:50] for you I was like oh guess I'll get some grapefruit I got some grapefruit and I was like this is

[01:01:55] horrible this is absolutely trash like why do people like this like so yeah I'm sorry obviously

[01:02:01] I'm a big grapefruit when I was when I was an opiate addict grapefruit actually helps stimulate the

[01:02:11] synapses when you take opiates to really to get more high off of opiates so like back in the day

[01:02:19] when I was doing opiates I would like fucking chug grapefruit right then take the pills

[01:02:25] you can actually do it supposed to do more it was supposed to do more

[01:02:29] the same thing if you you know were to do molly or something like that and you drink orange juice

[01:02:32] yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah does it do it though or is it like like we did

[01:02:36] just said it's not like the placebo maybe it's a placebo I don't know yeah I was too high

[01:02:41] to tell difference you know what now that you say that though because I remember hearing like

[01:02:46] there's a lot of you know you know those pharmaceutical ads where they're like don't take this

[01:02:50] if you do this don't I remember hearing like don't drink grapefruit juice if you're on this supplement

[01:02:54] or this this you know pharmaceutical or whatever so maybe it does do something I don't know

[01:02:58] it's pretty good yeah we've opened up a grapefruit rabbit hole yeah yeah no exactly I mean

[01:03:03] so we opened up a grapefruit crawfish hole oh great fruit now I'm just thinking a great fruit flavor

[01:03:12] crawfish and I'm sad you don't think that would go good in the boil yeah maybe a lot of those

[01:03:17] guys behind apples really good in it that's the Asian occasion yeah it is it is like a

[01:03:23] yeah because I follow these guys called southern boys outdoors which they're fantastic they're

[01:03:27] out of somewhere Louisiana is it the outdoor boys son boys outdoors we can't like he wears glasses

[01:03:32] and he takes his son with him some time oh no not that guy nothing I know that's like stick a

[01:03:35] butt he's got the guy your time out he does like like this stuff in Alaska where he doesn't bring

[01:03:40] a tent digs like a whole shelter or something but all I gotta get into that I'm not sure

[01:03:44] what that is oh yeah I'll be like three a like three bowls into my like bong and I'm like

[01:03:50] gonna make the shelter you're like I might need to know how to do this some day

[01:03:55] it's not gonna be warm and like no one's awake and I'm looking around like oh wait yeah just me

[01:04:01] it's those videos are fun though you lost it's like you're kind of learning shit but you don't

[01:04:04] know if it's actually education or if it's real or not right if you ever heard that fellow uh Mr.

[01:04:07] Foo I think his name is he's the guy that like builds those epic underground like in the sand tour

[01:04:12] music cool music epic music and he builds like these cool shit yeah just straight like footage of him

[01:04:17] getting at it I'll get lost in that shit for hours but yeah some of the boys outdoors they always

[01:04:21] do these crawfish boils and he's like you can either throw the lemons and oranges or squeeze him in

[01:04:25] so like I see a lot of those in there the garlic of course we talked about adding the mushrooms

[01:04:29] some people put olives in there your thoughts all of us I haven't heard of that I mean I love

[01:04:34] olives in general uh curious to know how that would taste with Creole seafood like season

[01:04:40] in I don't know how that would be yeah I'm on the fence honestly most things that go into the

[01:04:44] the crawfish boil like oh yeah this is good but I haven't heard all of so I mean I'll say that

[01:04:50] the olives are probably good and also another surprising ingredient that's good with most things

[01:04:55] raisins raisins you throw some raisins in it out of here I was like you guys thought talking

[01:05:00] no it's a fitness way to think it's good for the fitness way than stuff I swear to god maybe

[01:05:05] in a muffin I swear I don't know though you say raisins in the crawfish boil you know you put

[01:05:10] some raisins and some things find out okay you start putting some raisins in there I mean maybe

[01:05:16] like a peanut butter jelly sandwich peanut butter raisin jelly sandwich see see peanut butter raisin

[01:05:21] you created the only kind of raisins I like is raisin cane he's giving it a hard note no raisins

[01:05:30] all right let me ask you guys it one more like gross food question here what is it my good buddy

[01:05:34] Dalar and hard junior out of North Carolina loves okay you ready for this right a banana and manays

[01:05:39] sandwich have you heard of it I haven't tried no he's a nascar driver what former nascar

[01:05:47] net I've been tried that so North Carolina man is banana and man is on white bread helmets

[01:05:54] helmets man is not the miracle whip get that to that here's got to be helmets it's got to be

[01:05:59] helmets I have so I haven't tasted it but I want to taste it these North Carolina nascar folks are

[01:06:03] telling me I got to try it okay so I have on it is the bread toasted like what that's a good question you

[01:06:09] could do it you couldn't do it however is most palatable okay so like I used to eat manays sandwich

[01:06:14] just going up just manays like like yeah my friends make fun of me but yeah it's just like

[01:06:18] oh she's like I was a little poor growing up single wide trailer three sisters like yeah and so

[01:06:23] we would take like a single piece of like white bread and layer manays on it and then folded over

[01:06:29] that show is pretty good it's not bad huh it actually is good manay sandwiches sounds so gross

[01:06:34] wonder bread had to be the wonder or like sun beam oh sun beam sun beam white bread though not the

[01:06:39] not the fake wheat yeah so what do you think throwing some banana on that what do you think that

[01:06:43] palette might work I don't think so I gotta try it if it's the thing it probably it probably works

[01:06:50] yeah some people say it's horrible those North Carolina boys are like you gotta try this I honestly

[01:06:55] say well that's the first time I've heard this and I'm gonna google this as soon as I get my car

[01:07:00] and you're gonna see Dale and her genius name all over it I guarantee it yeah no well also I'm

[01:07:06] gonna send it to all my friends that make fun of me because I ate manays sandwiches and be like

[01:07:10] other people do too and put an anis on it and they put anis on it which is a little

[01:07:15] weird but he's 86 in the raisins I mean you know I mean look until until until you try it until

[01:07:26] you have that boil down raisin flavor I haven't tried it I don't know how much I have not tried

[01:07:33] it when they're mixed in with other things all you're gonna do is rehydrate the reason it's

[01:07:40] gonna look like a saggy grape well I feel like you could put a grape into the boil and it would come

[01:07:45] out of raisin what it though because isn't like a isn't like this is more dehydrated reason I mean

[01:07:50] she got a great what is a raisin it's a dehydrated grape yeah is it not yeah yeah you know what it

[01:07:57] is you pikes these but what is the what is the meaning behind a raisin you know are you just like

[01:08:06] no anti-raising all the way no no raisins I used to love raisins when I was a kid

[01:08:10] prune juice ants on a log you were had ants on a log

[01:08:13] is that going into the ants on a log is good you've had that

[01:08:16] you have to answer the log that's like classic let's just peanut butter celery
