Introduction and Podcast Passion
00:00:01
Speaker
This is the Garage Avenger Podcast.
00:00:11
Speaker
Hello and welcome to the Garage Avenger Podcast. I'm Justin, trying to share the joy of building my death machines in my garage in the hope of one day making a living off it.
Garage Time and Hypocrisy
00:00:22
Speaker
And I'm Kieran. Are you free?
00:00:30
Speaker
I just read what you wrote in the script here. You prick. Damn it, I was up you go to read it. ah ah Not pretending to turn my garish brewed beers into a world-renowned brewery, but instead actually trying.
Beer Talk and Humor
00:00:55
Speaker
ill Damn it. I wish that works because I was really looking forward to reading it and then I'll just laugh but even more. But anyway, we are twin brothers ah with a passion for creating the wild and unexpected, taking you on an everyday view of what's actually going to go on in our garages, which is not very much this week for me Yeah.
00:01:18
Speaker
Not actually going on in the garage. No. What about you, Kieran? Hold on. You've been doing a lot, though. Yeah, but not in the garage. Okay. yeah just True, true, true, true that.
00:01:30
Speaker
i haven't actually Actually, this week, I haven't spent very much time in the garage either. We're a fraud, Kieran. We're a fraud. Hypocrites. Hypocrites. Yep.
00:01:42
Speaker
That's right. But before we get into any of that, I think we should get into this.
00:01:57
Speaker
Yeah, that's a beer segment. um You didn't put the lyrics over. I decided not to put it. I didn't want to expose people to that bleeding of their ears.
00:02:11
Speaker
What are you drinking, Justin? ah Well... I don't even know how to pronounce this. Do you? Oh, this is, um, uh, I, I actually can't even read. <unk> Do you? know how to pronounce this. It's obviously a Belgian beer.
00:02:29
Speaker
Yes. And there is a listener that actually imports that beer. Is it? Shout out to, you know who you are.
00:02:41
Speaker
Well, not allowed to know. um I don't know. Doesn't know if he wants People don't know. Either way, I'm going to tell him how good or bad it is.
00:02:53
Speaker
Oh, he's like on the edge of his seat right now. It's 8% though. it's ah What is it? What do you got? Is it a double or what's it? It looks like it could be a double, especially with that strength.
00:03:04
Speaker
Yeah, I think it's a double. It's a very dark color. Hmm. Oh, it looks nice.
00:03:12
Speaker
You'd hope so for the price point.
00:03:19
Speaker
Go on, tell me What are
00:03:25
Speaker
you know what? What? This doesn't taste that much different from your double, Garen. Well, um... honored?
00:03:37
Speaker
yeah think i Honestly, you no because like Considering how much this cost but and then and then how much yours probably would cost for a much bigger bottle, yeah this is lovely. 8%.
00:03:54
Speaker
eight percent You know, it's a very it's a typical double, I would say. not that I really know what I'm talking about. I was just wondering about them. Like, what are you? Do you even... It has that like figgy, fruity flavor to it with like the dark malts. It's good.
00:04:13
Speaker
It's nice. Really nice. Yeah, nice. Very nice. Well, you know what I'm drinking to today? I'm destroying all beer credibility today. know what I'm drinking? Please it's a ringers.
00:04:25
Speaker
No. No, no, no. It might even be worse. a Are you ready for this one? Norlansguld. Well,
00:04:38
Speaker
at least it's not an orse. It's a three half percenter.
00:04:43
Speaker
Yeah. It's no ass pills. Yeah. It's no ass pills. No, it's a three and a half percent. You know what? I kind of like, sometimes I just like a little sneaky, like three and a half percent. Like there's something about like just, you know, a mid strength beer is kind of nice sometimes. Yeah.
00:05:01
Speaker
So, yep, the, oh, that was a nice sound on that one. So, yeah, I'm um'm full bogaining it on this one, rednecking for the people that don't know what a bogan is out there.
00:05:15
Speaker
ah And I'm drinking it out of the can.
00:05:21
Speaker
Can't believe you didn't put it in a glass, Kieran. No, there's I'm full rednecking it on this one. Yeah, it'd kind of be wrong to put it in a glass, isn't Yeah, it's kind of like, yeah, it's like, what am I trying to dress up mutton as lamb? like By putting it in a glass.
00:05:41
Speaker
Yeah. It is what it is. It's a canned drinking beer. it's probably It probably tastes better canned than it does in a glass, I imagine. i Well, um'm probably just psychological, i imagine. But it you know you know what? The Nordhandskull, it's like, you know what? This style of lager, I know this is only the three and a 3.5%, but this style lager doesn't really exist in Scandinavia other than in something like Nordhandskull.
00:06:10
Speaker
that kind of malt forward lager. ah You know, there's so much influence from the German and Czech brewing traditions here in Norway that you just kind of, you don't really see these kind of lagers very often. So it's kind of, for me, it's really nice. It's actually like a little bit of a refreshing taste of home, if you will, for the Australian lager lovers
Snowmobile Project Challenges
00:06:33
Speaker
out there. So,
00:06:35
Speaker
mean brilliant. Tell me, Justin, what's been happening? You've been busy outside of the garage this week. i have. I've been feeling the stress.
00:06:46
Speaker
Oh, stress. Of finalizing my snowmobile. Yeah. and So you guys heard that I basically got the parts. We're ready to test it.
00:06:57
Speaker
I did test it out at Kristen's work. I got bogged out in the fields. So I felt like I needed to take it somewhere else to get tested. take to put it through its paces.
00:07:10
Speaker
um So I decided that I'd call my friend Frederick and try and convince him to come up into the mountains in the middle of the week. Yeah. And somehow his boss said yes.
00:07:25
Speaker
He was the second. No, no, no. I found out that he his boss is sweet on him and she who she wants to, you know, make it official.
00:07:36
Speaker
but sir I'll just give you a give you a day off. Maybe you can give me a day off. Yeah, so that was thank you to ah her for allowing Frederick to have a day off.
00:07:53
Speaker
What an absolute legend because without Frederick out there, ah the video wouldn't have been at all what it is now. You wouldn't have been. Now, for those who are like –
00:08:10
Speaker
have you You released the video that went out on this Saturday, in. Correct, correct. um I worked my ass off to get that done.
00:08:21
Speaker
Yeah. um So, yeah, let's go back to, so we took a trip up to ah my mother-in-law's cabin. We weren't even sure there was going to be decent snow up there.
00:08:33
Speaker
I was really worried. Yeah. Especially on the roads down, like, because you have to drive down south into Kragre and then inland that way.
00:08:45
Speaker
And that way there's, like, no snow at all. yeah But as we drove further and further and we got sort of ah past Drangadal and further into the into the mountains, um they there came a lot of snow, but it was, like, was quite wet.
00:09:04
Speaker
So there was couple of mad rally moments out coming down the mountain where we just I had like a full opposite lock on. i We're just drifting.
00:09:14
Speaker
oh was like it was really sketchy. i ah But we got there saving the sound in the end. ah Well, not quite. sorry So we get there and at the bottom of this area where the the cabin is, it's all ploughed, right?
00:09:34
Speaker
Yeah. yeah But then to take the next, what maybe if you're lucky, 400 meters up to where the cabin is it's plowed but it's quite snowy you know like it's it's not plow plowed if you know what i mean and uh i said to frederick like oh maybe we should just stop here and put the chains on just in case and he goes no you don't need chains you right Famous last words. And I said, i don't know. it's quite There's a quite like a tight turn and then you lose a lot of speed in that turn and then you got to climb up a bit.
00:10:12
Speaker
And he's like, ah, you'll be right. It's fine. I was like, all right. So I gave it full gas up the hill, came around the corner. and just lost all momentum, all grip, and just slid off into a ditch. so was The car was bogged again.
00:10:31
Speaker
ah you have to dig it out? when No, luckily what what happened was you know the why only one side of the car sort of slid into the ditch, right?
00:10:42
Speaker
ah So we put on chains and then the chains had enough to grip and get us out out of the ditch. But i was I was like, there's ah actually a bit in the video where I was saying you're the one that told us not to put chains on. He's like, no, no, I didn't. I never said that. You said that. It's not true.
00:11:03
Speaker
It's not true. So we've added to climb up the mountain ah with the trains. um And so we got the got the snowmobile out. Now, i' going to let you seven listeners into a little
Storytelling in YouTube Videos
00:11:18
Speaker
secret.
00:11:18
Speaker
Okay. The true act of making YouTube videos is in storytelling. Now, the cabin. Go on, Justin. Tell them what you've done.
00:11:32
Speaker
and
00:11:35
Speaker
ah Okay, let me reverse this. Hold on. Let reverse. Would it be a good story if I just took it to the cabin and sped it around and we like blasted around and had a bit of fun?
00:11:46
Speaker
Or would it be a better story if we had to travel 12 miles into the wilderness of the forest to get to said cabin, even though that wasn't true?
00:12:02
Speaker
I think the second one. So that's what I went with. Everyone's, yeah, yeah. yeah So like the inspiration from like the whole cabin song from Ylva's Yeah, yeah, yeah. They trek for miles to get into the cabin.
00:12:19
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. um Yeah. So the point of this whole thing was to get this snowmobile out and testing. What's hilarious about it, to be honest, is ah where you see us first arrive at the car park, where we stop and get the where Frederick's getting skis on and everything, the cabin is literally like 50 meters up the hill.
00:12:46
Speaker
That's a little bit funny to be honest, but we did take it long, long into the forest. I mean, I was so surprised how well it went.
00:12:57
Speaker
yeah So, I mean, there there's a lot of things that were, I kind of did show that did actually happen. So for example, when I first took it for a blat down the trail, I didn't have goggles on, so I had to turn around.
00:13:12
Speaker
like, I've got to get my goggles. It cuts to shit. And it was slightly snowing. It wasn't but it was enough to like get in your eyes at speed and you ah was it was so uncomfortable.
00:13:23
Speaker
So at that time, I just, we turned around, I turned around, went back to the car, got goggles. And then Frederick's like, well, i' I don't really want to ski.
00:13:35
Speaker
So maybe you can just tow me. And i and i had a tow in... in the car anyway because i kind of thought maybe it would be fun to tow him anyway. So we just did that. And like the first real like run we did with the snowmobile, took maybe five, six kilometers, maybe more. nearly We were driving forever, climbing up hills and mountains like long, long, long, long. Like I don't think you've ever gone that far down that trail, Kieran.
00:14:06
Speaker
Probably not. No. Like – It was for the first I've ever been down there. So I guarantee you. Then I definitely haven't been that far. I was really, really amazed by how it performed considering yeah it's a hand truck.
00:14:26
Speaker
Yeah, right. it's It's a moving dolly with a motor strapped inside it basically. And, you know, okay, not the fastest thing in the world.
00:14:37
Speaker
Like, especially up hills, you really felt it labor. Yeah. but Especially you got someone towing behind you. Yeah, that's probably not going to help. You got another, like, what, 80 kilos in the back.
00:14:49
Speaker
Yeah. ah But what a great experience. Taking it out there, take it long into the forest. Like, if it had broke down, I probably would have just left it in a ditch and we have walked back. Like, there's...
00:15:02
Speaker
I don't care enough about it to like travel 10 kilometers on foot to go fix it, you know? ah ah Maybe not. i've wrote Maybe I would to ask somebody with a snowmobile to come help us and and we'd take some tools out there and go fix it but and bring it back. But Yeah, I mean, the to be honest, we nearly ran out of fuel on the way back.
00:15:23
Speaker
Yeah, right. Yeah, we chomped fuel. I filled the tank right up. Yeah. Yeah, it's an eight-liter tank. And yeah, within but probably 12 kilometers, I would say, at least minimum we did on that trip there and back, we just chomped eight liters of fuel.
00:15:42
Speaker
So not exactly the... ah ah yeah the most fuel efficient device but a lot of traction on those tracks Yeah. Like considering they're cheap Chinese parts.
00:15:57
Speaker
Yeah. they did all the Did all the screws hold up? Yeah. i was a super surprised. I thought I was going to be dodging like flying projectiles. Yeah.
00:16:08
Speaker
Trying to kill me, you know at the same time. as speed But no, they all most of them stayed in. There's only a couple missing. And I think most of those came out when we took it on a bit of a rough part where there was a lot of gravel.
00:16:19
Speaker
Yeah, okay. like Because it was like under the trees and the and the the snow was a bit thinner. Yeah. so yeah. Super stoked with how how it worked out.
00:16:32
Speaker
The first day, of we got there at about 1, I think, and then we filmed until it got dark, basically. And then we went in. Did you and Frederick have a romantic evening in the cabin?
00:16:44
Speaker
Yeah, it was lovely. we yeah We had a beer, we made burgers, and then he went to bed at 9.30 and I was just spitting out and couldn't sleep at all.
00:16:58
Speaker
Because what had happened is i asked Frederick, can you just like transfer the files from the SD cards over to this hard drive for me?
00:17:10
Speaker
Now, he's not used to doing this And he cuts it and then pastes it into the hard drive. Right. And then all this footage we had on one of the GoPros went missing because the computer shut down or the cu cu computer went to sleep or something. We could not find the files.
00:17:30
Speaker
Hmm. And I was kind of like, that's kind of pissed off because I'm more not pissed off at him, but more pissed off at myself because I knew that could be a problem because it's happened to me in the past.
00:17:43
Speaker
And I didn't say anything to him. I didn't say like, hey, can you copy that, then transfer it just in case something happens. But no, Yeah. So to be honest, on the on the Tuesday night, I was not did not sleep well. I was i was thinking constantly like, oh, what what footage do we need to shoot now to get in to finish this story? are we going to do this? All this sort of things.
00:18:06
Speaker
um Yeah, so woke up in the morning, got ourselves ready, got back out there, started filming. We felt like we had to re-film lot of the stuff we did.
00:18:18
Speaker
on the Saturday, sorry, on the Saturday, on the Tuesday because we'd lost that footage. So, yeah, we worked really hard to get that done. And then we we had to be back by 4 o'clock here because Henry had a football match. I wanted to see you with him. So, well, he was playing a football match, I should say.
00:18:42
Speaker
Yeah. um And I wanted to see it. So ah we just worked our asses off. and drove all the way back, got got back by four, I was completely wrecked.
00:18:53
Speaker
Yes. Stood there in the face. long, hard drive up up to Feudist, old, that area. Yeah, and there's a lot, like, the roads were a little bit sketchy too, right? So they weren't exactly, you're kind of on. Not to mention your shitty Berlingo that you're driving from.
00:19:10
Speaker
Get the fuck out of here, Kieran. It's not shitty. It's the best car ever. Like, I am so impressed by that car. Yeah? Yeah. I'm unlike it is fantastic.
00:19:23
Speaker
It may have rusted doors and speed holes everywhere, but to be honest, what an absolute legend car. Yeah, it's going and going.
00:19:35
Speaker
ah I bought that thing, I don't know how many years ago, 60,000 kronos.
00:19:42
Speaker
It's paid itself off for sure.
00:19:45
Speaker
And it's so versatile. You just throw everything in there. Yeah. So great. yeah so great ah Yeah. so getting on back onto what sort of really happened this week, I got back and I just had to sit down and do work. and I had to edit this video.
00:20:02
Speaker
i had 243 gigs of of data to go through. Yeah, geez. A lot of that was like the 360 footage, which is, you know, huge files.
Garage Project Updates
00:20:16
Speaker
And it's shooting 5.6K. And then I had to sort of work out how i was going to tell this story because I kind of knew the story I wanted to tell, but I needed make sure that, ah you know, things worked well.
00:20:27
Speaker
um You know, and I made sure that I ah tried to make elements work. for So, for example, ah you've seen the video, right? Yeah, I've seen the video. Yeah. So when Fredericks crashed into the ditch with the snowmobile, that didn't actually happen when I fell down on the skis.
00:20:49
Speaker
No, I figured it's much, yeah. But it worked well in the storytelling to make sure that they – like its it did happen, just didn't happen exactly then and there.
00:21:00
Speaker
So I you know just try to find those little nuggets of ah footage and then how to like transition. Lies, Justin. They're all lies together.
00:21:12
Speaker
well Only our seven listeners. What is truth?
00:21:18
Speaker
What's the saying? you don't get You don't let truth get in the way of a good story?
00:21:25
Speaker
Oh, we know some people are like that.
00:21:30
Speaker
So, yeah, I mean... It's just been a wild ride trying to get this thing ah finished. And at four o'clock in the morning on Saturday,
00:21:42
Speaker
and so I worked through Friday and and four o'clock in the morning, I'd finish the video. Nice. So, yeah. I have to say, though, I'm still feeling that.
00:21:54
Speaker
like Yeah, it's brutal. Doing the late night like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's brutal. was screwed for Saturday, even though I slept long. Yeah. And then, you know, Sunday's just been a bit weird.
00:22:07
Speaker
I should also say we're recording this on Sunday. Yeah. ah But you can tell us why when you get to your side, Kieran. Okay. Then I will. Yeah.
00:22:19
Speaker
What's happening next in Justin's garage? Yeah, do tell. The world rally car. It's kind of good because it's 97% finished.
00:22:31
Speaker
Well, the yeah, the mechanical bit, yeah. Yeah, the build too on the on the video, right? i've Actually, it's kind of up to date. So what really only have to do is I have to change some small parts, like the gearing I talked about last week. Mm-hmm.
00:22:47
Speaker
ah then going to just drive it and film that. And that's going to be the end of the video. Hopefully hopefully the end of the video will be me just talking basically about Thomas printing the parts and that that's the next video sort of coming.
00:23:07
Speaker
yeah Okay. and So it kind of feels like I've got another video like ready in the chamber, ready to go. You know, so that's kind of good considering it's been two months since I actually put out a video.
00:23:21
Speaker
So yeah, so it feels like that's kind of good. um The other thing is though, It's seriously been like Christmas. Since I got back on Wednesday evening, like there was all these packages on the bench that Kristen had left for me. And then on Thursday, I was sitting there editing and I hear this, dun, dun, dun, dun.
00:23:45
Speaker
And it was a guy from UPS delivering some stuff. Funny story. so you and I both have a similar ah sign on our doors, right?
00:23:57
Speaker
yeah Yeah. With the the White House, the presidential White House, right? the Yeah. The White House of the United States. you stole from me. Well, it's true. i which I was the original...
00:24:08
Speaker
Yeah, but I've decided mine's better than yours. you know, I stepped it notch. You actually do have a white house. but Yeah, that's true. and You painted your house. You should have painted it white.
00:24:19
Speaker
and i was gray and painted it blue.
00:24:23
Speaker
Yep. So, yeah, it's a sign. Yep. ah So, anyway, I hear the donk, donk, donk. So, I run downstairs from the garage and pop my head out. And he goes, the guy goes, I've got a press i got a package for the president.
00:24:42
Speaker
And I go, oh, thanks, man. He's like, great sign. i really that That made my day or something like that. you said they you You should have been like, yeah, we're pretty good at signs. And...
00:24:59
Speaker
We're the best in the world at such. That was a terrible Trump impression. Jesus. That was the worst Trump impression ever. and but Yeah, yeah. Yeah. um and mary And then i said ah I said, oh, this is great. I finally got this package.
00:25:17
Speaker
And and he guys something he said something about the first lady. And then I didn't quite hear him properly. and I go, oh, you don't want to deliver her packages. They'll be vibrating.
00:25:33
Speaker
I just randomly said, he must think I'm a weirdo or something. But yeah, um
00:25:40
Speaker
what what a great experience just having a banter with ah with the delivery man. I never really had that here. Nice. Was he Norwegian? Yeah, I think he was.
00:25:51
Speaker
He had a super Norwegian English accent. ah very Very happy to speak English. So, yeah. thank you So, but... It's honestly on Friday too, the mailman came, mail woman actually, technically.
00:26:09
Speaker
ah And she she came with like her arms full of packages. And I was like, oh, what's this? Let's go. what are you What's all this stuff you're buying?
00:26:22
Speaker
Oh, don't. and That's another thing I kind of want to talk about. ah so For a moment, I was thinking, is this building stuff or is this just me putting parts together? Yeah.
00:26:35
Speaker
Do you know what mean? Like had that in the moment. Not really fabricating very much these days. No, but I actually am. Because i there there will be a huge process of getting all these parts to fit because they're not designed to go together. right You have to modify them to make them fit.
00:26:53
Speaker
like For example, the gas tank, right it doesn't fit right now. But I bought a gas tank because there's no way I could make a gas tank but anywhere as good as that.
00:27:04
Speaker
And when I saw it on like mocked up on the bike the other day, was like, yeah, this is going to be sick. So i'm I'm super excited about that project too. Not only will I have the world rally car up and running, ah well, at least the chassis,
00:27:23
Speaker
But then soon as I finish that, I've got nearly all the parts I need to start building this bike. Yeah. Then chop, chop. Right? Chopper, chopper.
00:27:35
Speaker
I think it'll be cool. Yeah. really think it'll be cool. um So we'll see how this snowmobile video goes. I have feeling like it'll do a bit pop, bob, but you never know.
00:27:46
Speaker
I mean, I felt the same way about the sled video and that did great. So, yeah you know. Do you just kind of, well, you do what you should have done is had an improvement question on the end. Like, how do we make it go faster? And then all these comments come in and algorithm pushes your video and bam.
00:28:08
Speaker
Yeah, but I had that on the, I didn't have that on the the actual go-kart video and it, Yeah, it's it's creeping up to 190,000 views now. Yeah, nice.
00:28:20
Speaker
So I can't really complain about that. Just imagine if you did, though, Justin.
00:28:27
Speaker
Yep. Keyboard warriors, though. Oh, they're keeping your algorithm alive. Yeah. yeah I enjoy them. But yeah, that has been my week. We will see how the video goes this week. I'm excited. Everyone, if you're listening, the seven of you out there, please make sure you go and watch Garage Avengers' latest video.
00:28:50
Speaker
I really enjoyed it. i thought it was a solid video, Joss. Thank you. I love the little graphic of the the car driving across the mountains and then the cart with like Frederick behind it through the forest. like I think it's a small things like that.
00:29:06
Speaker
Yeah, like it's the small little bits and pieces made it really enjoyable to watch. And I think i think there's all these other elements I think not many people really talk about. it and And I watch other YouTubers do it. And because I'm quite analytic in their videos, I can say, oh, wait a second. That's why they use that right there and there.
00:29:27
Speaker
Because they needed a transition. right to go to this next point. And that's what I do. like That's what I use. i use like For example, I use the map you know to allow the viewer to understand where we were in the process of getting to this cabin. yeah And it's like it's a hook.
00:29:46
Speaker
Yeah, of course. We'll get there. Yeah, it's kind of like
Viewer Feedback and Reactions
00:29:50
Speaker
that. And then like you know when i when they had the crash incident with Frederick in the ditch,
00:29:57
Speaker
you know, putting doubt into people's minds where, you know, was the machine going to work after this crash? And then on top of that was, ah where are they?
00:30:09
Speaker
in this process and then making sure like, oh we're only like a quarter, we only have a quarter of the way to go. Right. We're almost there, right? Yeah. And people go, oh, they're almost there. Like, will they make it?
00:30:22
Speaker
Right? Yeah. Yeah. So it's it's a good tool to use. And I think storytelling- I have a little chuckle, have to admit, like when I'm like, and they finally get there to go from the road from the parking lot up to the cabin.
00:30:37
Speaker
It's like the fifth last 50 meters from where you park the car. Yeah, I know. It's secret. I know that. Obviously, you know you and I have been to that cabin enough or I've been there enough to know what it looks like around the area.
00:30:54
Speaker
So, that was good fun. I did like it. So, congratulations, Justin, on that video being launched into the world. Yeah. I look forward to seeing how it goes.
00:31:07
Speaker
Yeah, I have to say I got another comment this sir this video already. Somebody saying like, ah this guy's kryptonite is – the algorithm is this guy's kryptonite.
00:31:19
Speaker
Yeah. It makes me it makes me smile because Like, I know the videos are good, and I think other people see they're good, and I think it's just a matter of time so we can make this work yeah financially at least ah and and and then get this channel to to be something – uh of value to not just me but also the viewers right they they see what this channel is and they're excited to see the next video and see what i'm doing next yeah cool yeah speaking of comments justin i've been getting a few comments this week oh please do tell you fucking prick
00:32:03
Speaker
ah what have i done? oh Well, somebody put a little ding counter on last week's episode, didn't they?
00:32:15
Speaker
Well, that was... that was mr Justin, the editor. Yeah, that was Justin, the editor. It wasn't me. So, you know, o i had a few messages just ah There was quite a few of them were just little random people just sending me numbers.
00:32:37
Speaker
It's just numbers. No explanations whatsoever. And at first I was like, What is going on? It's like a random person sending me the letter, like number 19, 20, and then someone was like else was 21.
00:32:51
Speaker
Like, are they all counting up here? what What's going on? When it gets to a million, do I win the the money? Ha, ha, ha. So anyway, so then obviously I was like, something's – and then one of the guys was like – then I started to realize some of these people are people I've kind of had contact with in regards to the podcast.
00:33:12
Speaker
So then as i i put on the podcast and start listening to the – and then it gets to the shit section.
00:33:22
Speaker
And had to laugh. I did think it was quite funny. say Well, I thought it was hilarious. i exactly Because Kristen and I have talked about this for a while now. It's like we we find it hilarious that like you, who kind of is coming from a Christian background, I guess, in some regards, right, o has a worse potty mouth than me. He used to work – in the Navy where where we would just have the worst mouth potty mouths ever.
00:33:55
Speaker
So yeah I just thought it was funny because the second when I was editing it, or when Justin, the editor, was editing it. Oh, yeah. Sorry, that guy. Not you.
00:34:07
Speaker
No, not me. ah I think he he must have just thought it was hilarious just all of a sudden he had all these F-bombs being dropped every two seconds.
00:34:19
Speaker
Yeah. about About a lid.
00:34:23
Speaker
is it not justified? Well, I mean. It's pretty frustrating. ah yeah Yeah, you're right. You're right. It is. like of The segment is, i mean, give you about something that gives you the shit. So, if there's something you can swear about, it's in that segment.
00:34:41
Speaker
I agree. I agree. So perhaps we can make that a new part of the podcast where swearing is counted.
00:34:54
Speaker
Well, depends on how much did the the listeners warm want to hear my potty mouth. Well, maybe that's also what you guys can ah tell us.
00:35:05
Speaker
ah Send your mails to Kieran. Not me, I don't care. Say, we want to hear your potty mouth or perhaps tone it down a bit.
00:35:16
Speaker
Yeah, do it. No, actually, i this is a little shout out to a listener who gave us some feedback a couple weeks ago that we talked about about the swearing and about the, ah you know,
00:35:33
Speaker
I told him, like, you know, like, we don't take it too serious. Like, we don't take it too seriously here. and And he was like, he was a little bit worried, like, in the first instance that I'd day taken him, like, the wrong way and not understood that he actually quite enjoyed the podcast.
00:35:51
Speaker
But I was like, this this is this is just gold material. is good fun. this makes This makes the podcast enjoyable to listen to when you've got content like this to run with.
00:36:03
Speaker
So come on, bring your feedback. It'll give us some content for the following weeks, I'm sure. um So awesome.
00:36:13
Speaker
Yeah, but um that's – please do send me your DMs.
Kieran's Swedish Brewery Adventure
00:36:20
Speaker
at you chris brewing was about to say at courage adventure you i can do that too you can you can actually tag me but then just write horrible things about karen only yeah yeah
00:36:35
Speaker
so yeah i've been uh yeah you're gonna ask me i'm sure justin you're gonna ask me what i've been doing this week karen what have you been up to week
00:36:49
Speaker
and Well, I mean, maybe the ah the can of Norland's gul will we'll give you a little bit of an inkling of what what I've been doing this week.
00:37:00
Speaker
I wouldn't have a clue what that means. Party handling. I guess, I guess. Yeah, yeah. ah The biggest problem with that right now is the Swedish crown is stronger than the Norwegian crown. So it's just like it's a ghost town at all those giant supermarkets because everyone's like, eh, it's more expensive.
00:37:21
Speaker
Than it is in Norway. Or just buy food in Norway. Yeah. So, yeah. The only thing that was like these little, you know, three, five cans. What was a six pack of it was like 40 crowns or something.
00:37:34
Speaker
So, was just like, I'll take that action. So, there you go. Why were in Sweden, Kieran? On a huddy turd. Well, it was i have to admit, it was not just for harditude.
00:37:47
Speaker
I decided earlier that week that I was going to go to Omnipolo's church brewery in Stockholm.
00:37:59
Speaker
So so who like explain what Omnipolo is why it's interesting. Omnipolo is brewery based out of Stockholm.
00:38:10
Speaker
And they were a gypsy brewer for many years. So they've basically doing the same thing as I'm doing now or have been for many years. And they've got a name for themselves internationally.
00:38:25
Speaker
um Not just like in Norway, but like across America. and And that really kind of built a real significant name for themselves over the years.
00:38:38
Speaker
And they finally went branched out into their own production because they've been doing contract brewing for ages. And the location where they decided to do that in an old church.
00:38:51
Speaker
in on the outskirts of Stockholm. Sounds like an idea we kind of already know about. Well, this is part of the reason why I wanted to go and check it out. i was like, just got to go and see what they're doing, how they're doing it and what it feels like there and all the rest. So um managed to rope my friend Nathan.
00:39:13
Speaker
Shout out to Nathan. um And we drove six ah six six and a half hours across to Stockholm ah in the day, and which was actually like super lovely. like I mean, Nathan and I are friends, but we haven't had like We're kind of like friends that have a couple of beers and talk shit kind of friends.
00:39:39
Speaker
But we sat in the car for six hours each way and we just talked, talked to real, talked some serious stuff. mean, we had some tin what tinfoil hat moments where we're but conspiracy theories came out and there was a weird moment where we started getting into some pretty heavy stuff.
00:40:01
Speaker
And at that time, all the electrical components in the car went crazy. Really? Yeah. did did it Yeah, I was like, get me get your tinfoil hat out, boys. We were waiting. We were like joking about the missile. It was just about to come in fucking and fucking from a drone to destroy the car. Like, we're just like, shit.
00:40:27
Speaker
Anyway, so we had a great we had a great time. we had a we And then we went to church bar. And we sat down and had some beers. And did we have some beers? Wow.
00:40:40
Speaker
Like, Romney Polo is not kind of known for restraint, can you say? um so like, i mean, just even the way that they serve their beers, like their house lager comes with this, like,
00:40:56
Speaker
inch of foam on the top all let that protrudes above the glass. Like, it's just this, like, tower of foam. it's it And it just looks so epic the way that they serve it to you.
00:41:08
Speaker
and And, you know, it's like the lager itself was good. There was nothing wrong. They're not known for lagers, that's for sure. They're known for IPAs, these ridiculous imperial stouts, and, like, and these insane sour beers.
00:41:25
Speaker
And the one really interesting one, in my opinion, was the sour slushie. So it was a sour beer served with like a slushie on top, like a little kind of like ice cream swirl style slushie on the top.
00:41:44
Speaker
And it was like this experience of drinking this beer was really fascinating because you got, you had like a very tart, sour fruity beer underneath. And then you had, yeah i think it was made from ah either the same beer or similar beer, this slushy, which obviously had a bit of sugar in it to kind of keep it slushy and keep it from freezing.
00:42:07
Speaker
And um it kind of this weird balance of fruity sweet with sours. The fruity was just like, Every sip was just this really nice experience. i really ah really enjoyed it. if And i said to Nathan, like, if they had more than one type on this slushy tap, I think we would have tried them all because it was just it was really nice.
00:42:33
Speaker
and But the thing that I took away the most was their house IPA that they had. They only brew it for their in-house for the bar that's in inside the brewery there.
00:42:46
Speaker
And ah just to paint the picture a little bit, like, so it's an old church and they've got some big fermenters. They're like four or 5,000 litre fermenters inside this this reasonably small building. So it's pretty tight.
00:43:01
Speaker
But the bar is kind of in like this mezzanine balcony level around the brewery. So the brewery is on the floor and, you know, you have brew house and the tanks and everything there.
00:43:13
Speaker
And then you have this this pub that's around the top of it looking down into the brewery. And so, like, whilst you're sitting up there drinking, there's a brewer down there making beer, you know, giving like, you know, they were telling us afterwards we actually... i sent Henuk Fenty, the head brewer or the star founder of Omnipolo A Message,
00:43:42
Speaker
Like literally as I was leaving Drummond here, and just to say we're coming. I'm not even friends with him on Facebook. that's I just like sent him a direct message and I was like, ah fuck it. We'll see what happens. We're coming and it'd be cool to just so to meet and say hi.
00:44:00
Speaker
And he sent me a message before I'd even gone and picked up Nathan. back and so I was like we but we just missed him by the time we got there and but the next day we just we went and fucking bashed on the door and we were just like hey we've been talking to Henoch like is he here he's busy at the moment oh okay that's all right he's like who are you oh we're two australian brewers i said to him and he was like oh come in do you want a to tour around and we this lovely chat with this guy carl who's the who's kind of the lead brewer there uh he showed us around the brewery we had a chat to him for a good like 40 minutes and so it was really really nice it was a really nice experience and i
00:44:49
Speaker
And I walked away inspired, which was really nice. Like that high house IPA, I kind of got distracted there, was just one of these. It was a 5.9% like hazy style IPA, but it was just so approachable.
00:45:05
Speaker
This is like the one this is the kind of thing that you get like and you just want another one and another one and another one. It was just like both Nathan and I sat there afterwards and agreed. Like this is, if we weren't trying to go through the entire menu in one night, like all, what was it? Something like eight. No, was it including the fridge list and all that? It would have been like about 60 odd beers.
00:45:35
Speaker
ah So we were trying to make a solid dent in it. we We went through all the tap beers. That's 20 beers. yeah yeah That's some shit-facing stuff going on. Yeah, but surprisingly, like, you know, they had food there too, so we're eating. So we'd like we managed level ourselves out really good. So we none of us were – we weren't falling down the stairs trying to get out of the place. So, you know, that was – it was really nice. it was a know And you know what?
00:46:02
Speaker
I was really surprised by – just the variation of flavor that they had in all their beers was just really, it was really fantastic. So I recommend if anyone, if if you're interested in craft beer or interested, you've heard Omnipolo and you're like, I just feel like taking a trip somewhere, go to Stockholm, check it out.
00:46:22
Speaker
It's, yeah, it's worth it. We stayed at like a hotel place down the road, cost like a thousand crowns for the night. And it was like easy peasy. So Super nice.
00:46:34
Speaker
what they yeah What did you get from it besides inspiration? you know What does this mean for Eucharist Brewing?
00:46:43
Speaker
I think that's hard to know exactly right now. um But it's just I think for me it was like a ah reminder that it can be done.
00:46:55
Speaker
and But also reminder too that like when you have the right team around you, it works really well. Like everything there was as good as it was because of the people they have gathered together to work for them. Like, you know, obviously it started originally with Henok and the graphic artists, Carl, I forget what his last name is.
00:47:24
Speaker
Uh, that's kind of why they, the beer labels have the style that they have is this because of this graphic artist that, that started the brand with him. And, uh, and obviously they have, we're working together to make that kind of happen. So he's from very get go, he was a partnership and you can just see that those partnerships ah critical for the success of the way that OmniPillow has to become what it has today.
00:47:52
Speaker
Hmm. So i think that was just a good reminder to this, to, you know, lone wolfing, um, is good for a period maybe depending on what you're doing.
00:48:05
Speaker
And, but also like, it's important to see that you have, if you have skills that, you know, and some skills you're good at, some skills you're not like, um,
00:48:18
Speaker
play your strengths and find the right people to to fill in the blanks. Yeah, I mean, i feel like bringing the right people, of course, is super important.
00:48:30
Speaker
But I also feel like sometimes that doesn't happen unless you're leading the way. That's true. People have to be able to believe in you as boss, as a product, as a company.
00:48:44
Speaker
And they have to be able to get behind you. i I know from experience with Garage Avenger, bringing on somebody into the garage in addition to me is really kind of what I want because it would make the workflow a lot easier and I think we'd have a lot of fun.
00:49:05
Speaker
But to find that person to come in their garage and that they're willing to take the risk with me It takes a certain caliber of person to do that.
00:49:17
Speaker
And on top of that, you have the issue that, you know, right now I'm not making money. So that person doesn't feel comfortable at all coming on board because I'm not going to be able to pay them.
00:49:30
Speaker
But well guess this is like remind it too if I don't put the then how am I going to attract the people? Right. So I just need to do the work and keep on going. And then eventually the benchly people come to me.
00:49:44
Speaker
That's the way I believe it. Yeah. And then like, there's, there's a real tangible thing to that. Absolutely. But I think what I also realized too, is, is that you have, um,
00:50:01
Speaker
there's there's ah a balance point sometimes and understanding where your limitations are. And there is actually a point where you are hindered.
00:50:14
Speaker
You can't grow anymore without the right people. And so there's like, they're just like acknowledging that in the future, there's gonna have to be more people involved than me.
00:50:26
Speaker
What that how long that takes to to eventuate into something real. i don't know, but it's a it's a really it's kind of it's good to see it's good to be real about the way things have to move forward.
00:50:40
Speaker
and So in the meantime, we just have to keep plugging on and doing what I got to do. So there's more beers to be released. um Cosmic Christ will be and packaged this week.
00:50:55
Speaker
So that's going to be re-released. All the gulattings in Norway should get should get a couple of cases each at least in the beginning. And then we'll just take it from there.
00:51:08
Speaker
So one step at a time. oh On a side note, I've only got like four cases of Cryogeus left in the warehouse. So that's really great.
00:51:19
Speaker
I'm like, I think another week or two and I'll sell out of it. so So how long has that been out on the market for? I launched Cryogeus in, was it November or even, I think it was November.
00:51:35
Speaker
Yeah, it was November because then the triple went in December. So, yeah. so So, less than six months. and Yeah, well, what are we now? We're in March, so it's been, yeah, five months.
00:51:51
Speaker
So, yeah, I think it's ah definitely beer that that's I'm getting good feedback on and I don't know if I'm going to make it again, but we'll see.
00:52:04
Speaker
So there's a, yeah, we're we're going have to have wait and see what happens for the future. In the meantime, ah got a job. Well, it's not, it's not a full-time job.
00:52:16
Speaker
It's a part-time job. Okay. tell Tell us what it is. What's what's going on um I am going to be brewing for Armington as a part-time brewer.
00:52:30
Speaker
So I actually applied for a job with them earlier this year. And then I got to, didn't like, I got to interview stage and things that felt like I was going to get the job.
00:52:44
Speaker
And then they went with someone else. And I basically, I was, I gave up on that thought that that was ever going to eventuate into anything. And then ah Jeff, the doggy letter at al Amazon, called me up on Tuesday and was like, we need your help. Do you want to help? Can you help us?
00:53:07
Speaker
And I was like, okay. So, you know, good to keep my finger on the pulse there and really glean everything that they're doing and how they're doing it and see where I can bring that into my own production in the future.
00:53:23
Speaker
So I think it's a really valuable key experience that will will give me some skills and some things. Because, you know, I've worked with big industrial stuff before, but not kind of bigger and craft before.
00:53:41
Speaker
So it's a different beast. yeah And there's a lot more to think about with craft production than there is with, you know, industrial pills production, for example.
00:53:52
Speaker
So for me, I think it's going to be really good, to good experience and, good to learn something new and, and, you know keep my finger in the industry ah there and then see what happens. I mean, it's only short term contract.
00:54:08
Speaker
So, you know, but so I'm still going to be running my thing on the side. Eucarist Brewing will still be doing its thing. And, but in the meantime, I just get to get to some more experience under my belt and, and see where that,
00:54:26
Speaker
goes what what happens and what i learn and what i can take away from it so i think it's just positive yeah and contacts in the industry right yeah absolutely so um yeah i'm really excited to see what where that will go so there you go to that's pretty much me for this week and not that much else has been happening Cool. Well, let's get into this.
00:54:51
Speaker
Double rainbow all the way across the sky.
Excitement for Upcoming Projects
00:54:59
Speaker
Mind blown. Go on, Justin. Tell me what's blowing your mind.
00:55:06
Speaker
yeah I watched the trailer for the Formula One movie. That's coming out in this summer. Formula One movie?
00:55:18
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Okay. And it's made by Jerry Bruckheimer Productions. Right. It's got the same director as Top Gun Maverick. Now, I know you are not a fan of Top Gun Maverick.
00:55:32
Speaker
You're like, it's so American. and so But that's because you're an idiot and you have no idea what a great cinematic movie is about.
00:55:45
Speaker
So what's blowing my mind this week is that movie. It looks freaking amazing. Right. Like it looks Top Gun Maverick level.
00:55:57
Speaker
Meets race cars. major Yeah. And I just think it's going to be amazing. I've already sort of started talking with my friend Thomas because his um wife is a huge Top Gun fan.
00:56:11
Speaker
right And started talking about it and then they said, you know what, we should when it's released, we should go watch it at IMAX. So that's what I'm kind of thinking. Maybe we'll go into Oslo and we'll watch the Formula One movie on IMAX. But it looks so good.
00:56:30
Speaker
So I recommend all of you guys to go check out the trailer and check it out. What's blowing your mind, Kieran? You know what's blowing my mind this week, Justin? There's this YouTube channel.
00:56:43
Speaker
the Garage Avenger, who released this new video. After two months. After, yeah. Blown, mind blown. Turn this crazy, like, hand truck into a snowmobile.
00:56:57
Speaker
I know, right? What a lesson that kind of is. Insane. Yeah. Why can't you make a YouTube channel like that, Justin? Surely it'll be a success. Surely. Surely. i this is Is this YouTube channel like blowing up or what?
00:57:13
Speaker
I mean, it should be. ah But I think the algorithm's against him. Yeah. but
00:57:25
Speaker
Well, I'm glad I'm blowing your mind, Karen, because that's that's very nice. i don't think I'm blowing anyone else's mind, but I do really appreciate the feedback, so much appreciated. Right.
00:57:36
Speaker
Mm-hmm. So, yeah, that's what's blowing my mind, Justin. Is there something you need to get off your chest today? Well, yes. Mm-hmm.
00:57:51
Speaker
who does Number two work for.
00:57:58
Speaker
oh Hey, hey, just grab a hold of something, bite your lip, and give it hell. Come on. We're going to through this.
00:58:07
Speaker
I said, get it off your chest. And I'm like, what kind of stuff are you into? <unk> yeah Yeah.
00:58:24
Speaker
ah I'm going to tell people without swearing. It's giving me the shits right now. ah You're so much better than me, Justin.
00:58:35
Speaker
No, ah closed circles. Closed circles? What do mean closed circles? So let me explain this. So in normal culture, unlike Norwegian culture,
00:58:53
Speaker
In normal, humane culture where real people interact with each other, when they form a circle to talk, you will notice their feet position.
00:59:14
Speaker
Now, if you're in a normal, humane position, talking circle, a majority of people's feet will have one foot angled away from the circle.
00:59:30
Speaker
And this allows other people to easily come into the circle to be part of a conversation. Right. The culture here, I'm sorry, but you guys need to understand that this culture here in Norway does not exist.
00:59:50
Speaker
Closed circles are the norm here, and it's incredibly rude. did did Did you just call like Norwegians inhumane? Yes.
01:00:04
Speaker
Yes, I did. It gives me the shits, Karen. They are inhumane people. they've They've still got this Viking blood in them. They just want to rape and pillage things. It's the shield. It's like the shield wall mentality, Justin.
01:00:21
Speaker
Yeah. That's what it is. They've still got this shield wall up. They're like, shields! oh And then they turn their backs to every person and lock out anyone that wants to come in and like involve themselves in a conversation.
01:00:35
Speaker
Justin, do we need to have some therapy session about these closed circles? of like Garen, I have now mentioned it, and you're going to see it everywhere, and you're going to be like, oh, what the hell?
01:00:50
Speaker
And you're going, Justin was so right. He has the right to have the shits with this problem. It's so freaking annoying. ah So and for those Norwegians listening and non-Norwegians,
01:01:04
Speaker
Please, next time you're in a circle, have a look at your feet. Have a look if you're able to invite people into this circle because we talk a lot in society about loneliness and people not having friends and all this sort of stuff.
01:01:22
Speaker
That's the problem. Of course people don't have friends. They can't get in a circle to say, hey, I'm hey i'm Jeff. It's nice to meet you guys. What's what's going on here?
01:01:34
Speaker
Close circle. Close circle. Jeff's on the outside. poor Jeff. He's so so lonely. He's going to commit suicide. What? Poor Jeff. no No, So basically what I'm saying is Norwegians are causing people to commit suicide because you close your feet and you turn your backs outwards to everybody.

01:02:25
Speaker
I'm sorry. We talked about... the other day, the other week, right? and Like, I don't want to be better than anyone else, right? That's what you're doing by closing the circle, you idiots.
01:02:38
Speaker
You're thinking you're better than everybody else. You're not allowing anyone in. Well, at least that's how how the outsider is interpreting it. Yeah, well, how else do you interpret it?
01:02:48
Speaker
That should be enough to change behavior, yeah? Yeah, you contradicted bastards. Open your feet. All right, I'm at my rate, Karen. What's giving you the shits this week?
01:03:02
Speaker
Well, you know, thing that's giving me the shits this week is that winter won't fuck off. I needed winter this week, Kieran.
01:03:14
Speaker
like, come on. It was here, but the sun was beautiful today. Oh, it was. It was so nice, but it's like, can I make up your mind? Please. We had plus degrees for like a week and like all the snow was smellt like melting and like we had, I was like, oh, yeah.
01:03:32
Speaker
And like Lynn says, smells like it smells like spring. and I'm like, it smells like rotting leaves. Yeah. um She told me I destroyed when the the spring smell for her because I told her that it just smells like rotting leaves, which is true.
01:03:50
Speaker
Right? But she's like, yeah, it's a bit like, I mean, everything's up here. Even up in Konveru where it's like we got more snow than most. it ah It started melting. Everything was like, oh, yeah.
01:04:04
Speaker
I couldn't even see grass in the backyard ah one in one area. And then I'm just like, Nick, minute, like, pretty no.
01:04:15
Speaker
Just like, I mean, we we had like 10 centimetres dumped overnight. was like, come on, man. Make up your fucking mind.
01:04:26
Speaker
Climate change. Yep. ah yeah So that was giving me the shits this week, Justin. Well, I'm glad. i'm glad if yeah I hope you can appreciate the refrained level of swearing on that segment.
01:04:43
Speaker
I don't know. I counted at least three F-bombs in that moment. Better than the 20, 21? actually haven't counted them. Kristen counted the whole episode and it was shocking.
01:05:04
Speaker
it She's like, he has a real potty mouth, doesn't he? I just say the word fuck. That's about it. Yeah.
01:05:16
Speaker
All right, Karen. It's time for you to start singing. ah Sing for my supper. Yeah.
01:05:26
Speaker
it we We still, well, I still refuse to record this. You'll have to sing it every episode.
01:05:38
Speaker
Recommendation, recommendation. What is your recommendation? just had to wrap that one. That was so lame.
01:05:50
Speaker
the yeah There you go, Justin. That was the segment for today. What is your recommendation? Go on and adventure, people. Ooh. With a friend.
01:06:02
Speaker
Ooh. The basic twin synchronicity. Get your tinfoil hat out. out I had basically the same thing. i was like, travel.
01:06:18
Speaker
Go and having a little adventure, go, you know, go to Omnipolo, go to, you know, that place you've always thought that's like just that little bit out of town, you know, that was my thing. Yeah, go to the same cabin you've been to 20 times. Yeah.
01:06:39
Speaker
but Well, you haven't been with Frederick. and Neither have I been with a homemade snowmobile. No, that's true. That's true. But an adventure yeah. yeah Go and have an adventure, travel, see something new, experience something new.
01:06:55
Speaker
Yeah. 100%. think it's fantastic this week to get out there. just you it was middle of the week. It just seems a bit crazy. But you know the other thing I didn't really talk about. Get job, you bum.
01:07:10
Speaker
The other really thing I didn't really talk about was we we met a couple of people out there. Yeah. Yeah. like On the trail. Yeah. Like we met a dog sled team. Yeah.
01:07:21
Speaker
I actually had footage of them. I didn't put it in the video because it made it feel like we weren't alone out there. So I was like, oh. Lies. Lies. but Good storytelling, Kieran. Just leaving out the details, okay?
01:07:35
Speaker
ah But yeah, we we met a lot of people out there. ah People walking their dogs, people going for a ski, ah people just... mucking around their cabin. There's also some people working on them. Why are these people, why don't they have jobs?
01:07:52
Speaker
Retired, Kieran. They're old. They're old. Yeah, they're old. But yeah, ah super lovely and great to meet them. And also probably made their day too, right? Seeing these imbeciles on a, you know, hand truck contraption, you know, like flying through the forest at a zillion decibels o because the thing's loud as hell. So, yeah.
01:08:19
Speaker
Yeah. Get a muffler, you bum. yeah but So honestly, it was really, really nice. Really nice to see everybody out there, meet people, and then go out there on this little adventure on a homemade snowmobile.
01:08:34
Speaker
So yeah, that's I guess that's the same for you because going out, traveling to Sweden and and going over to a brewery you've never sort of been to before. Yeah.
01:08:47
Speaker
Yeah, getting adventure traveling with a friend that you don't maybe know so well. that's That was, you know, it's really nice. Yeah, do those hard things with people. Because, like, you never know. Like, usually through, especially us as men,
01:09:01
Speaker
We bond through activities. We don't really bond through like messaging and like, you know, talking. It doesn't really work like that. Yeah, it doesn't work like that, does it? No, no, no.
01:09:14
Speaker
So, you know, you really need to just get out there with somebody, ah a friend, and just do some activity that you think is kind of going to be cool.
01:09:25
Speaker
You know, I remember taking a bunch of dudes Raleigh, Sweden. Yeah. Nathan and I recommend it. We reminisced about that. Right?
01:09:36
Speaker
But its what a great story. yeah We all dressed up as kangaroos in these horrible Japanese-style Pokemon kangaroo suits, you know? And we just got blind drunk and watched right rally cars drive it a city miles hour.
01:09:53
Speaker
What a freaking great story that was. with yeah With guys we really didn't even know properly.
Rally Series Discussion
01:09:59
Speaker
Side note, been watching the Drive to Survive Formula 1 series on Netflix.
01:10:04
Speaker
Why doesn't Rally have a series like that? Come on, Rally. WRC. We've talked about this. I think it really needs that. i would do It would change the sport overnight.
01:10:17
Speaker
Yeah, well, the problem is there's only two teams to talk about, so it's not really interesting. The whole sport's ruined. Well, there you go. But i I would say, though, Drive to Survive has this like prestige thing. you know You've got you know k Christian Horner who has Jerry fucking Hallowell from the Drive to Survive as wife.
01:10:41
Speaker
Yeah. and you know this This season, he's being under controversy with you know basically being inappropriate with ah female staff member.
01:10:52
Speaker
and you know adds to this drama, yeah this you know this high echelons of society, right? Yeah, not like you go over to a rally and you'd be like... the It's not like they're sitting here eating spaghetti.
01:11:07
Speaker
But it's not. Rally is a bit more grassroots motorsport. Even though it's super technical, and I think the drivers are way better than Formula One drivers, don't get me wrong.
01:11:19
Speaker
But the problem is it's not like people who are not interested in motorsport can watch Drive to Survive, see the drama, and see this high society that they wish they were part of.
01:11:31
Speaker
Whereas rally is not like that. We're not high society. We're very approachable. You can you could literally walk up to the drivers whilst they're waiting to come on stage and go talk with them.
01:11:41
Speaker
And they'll say hello. And they'll shake your hand. And they'll sign autographs. but Like minutes before they go on to drive at zillion miles an hour. So it's much more approachable sport. So that's why I think drive to survive – wouldn't work as good, I think.
01:11:59
Speaker
No, fair enough. Because it doesn't have that snob factor.
01:12:06
Speaker
Oh, well, just a suggestion. But there there you go. that's I think we got it all covered, Jus. we yeah We're under an hour and a half. I think we're doing great. Short format podcasts are back.
01:12:20

01:12:32
Speaker
Stay crispy. that What does that even mean? i't I don't even know. It's a thing from from the Pete Holmes podcast. Stay crispy. deter There you go.
01:12:47
