Speaker
This is the Garage Avenger Podcast.
Non-Street Legal Build Aspirations
00:00:12
Speaker
Hello and welcome to the Garage Avenger Podcast. I'm Justin, trying to share the joy of building my non-street legal midget, I mean, heights.
00:00:24
Speaker
challenged individual machines in my garages in hope of one day ah finding a true
Humor and Personal Anecdotes
00:00:33
Speaker
midget love. What the? Talk about your dyslexia, Justin.
00:00:43
Speaker
Oh, my God. What was that, Garrett? Well, you've been giving me shit every week. That yak piss
Artisanal Brewing Journey
00:00:51
Speaker
and all that stuff. And I've noticed, I have noticed that ah there has been a trend with small vehicles, Justin.
00:01:01
Speaker
They're not really, like, full size. So one would only assume that they're for midgets.
00:01:08
Speaker
Yeah, let's be honest. yeah That could be a thing. Actually, like I discussed a couple weeks ago, there was a a ah short, stacked person that wanted to be able to build his own motorcycle because what he would he would be able to ride the one better. What Justin was trying to say is he was trying to share the joy of building his non-street legal midget. I mean, height challenge individuals, machines...
00:01:35
Speaker
in my garage in the hope that one day finding true midget love.
Romance and Relationships Discussion
00:01:39
Speaker
And I'm Kieran trying to turn my garage brewed artisanal Yakieran once again into a world-renowned brewery.
00:01:50
Speaker
There you I did it for you this today. I think you should just done the whole thing. No one would have known that it was me. I should just changed my voice. Yeah. it Just a little bit.
00:02:00
Speaker
I'd be like, hi, I'm Justin. Fuck off.
00:02:07
Speaker
We're twin brothers with a passion for creating the wild and unexpected. and we're taking you on a ride throughout everyday life in our garages slash hobby sheds slash backyards slash wherever our adventures may take us.
00:02:26
Speaker
Justin, where has the adventure taken you this week? It has taken me to my 14th wedding anniversary. Yeah. Congratulations.
00:02:39
Speaker
Now, I could start with this ah being a shit segment. Since when? that's ah like set's whenen like Has just romance been ah bloke thing that the bloke has to do It's true.
00:02:55
Speaker
Where's romance for us? Yeah, where's the romance for us? like and so Like, admittedly, I have it pretty good with Kristen. I shouldn't really complain. Come Kristen. Change that oil. i Clean up my workshop.
00:03:10
Speaker
No, but it's ah it's ah it's like the it's the same thing, like, every Valentine's Day, right? We talked about this as well, right? Yeah, yeah. Like... I put a bit of effort into Valentine's Day and all I get from Kristen is a card and a box of chocolates every year. Like it's the same shit every time. And if all I gave her was that, I'd be fucking in a doghouse.
00:03:33
Speaker
Yeah, right. Like, I don't need it every year, but like once in a blue moon, like something actually really thoughtful would be great. You know what i got this year for our wedding anniversary? and What did you get, Justin?
00:03:45
Speaker
An otter. An otter? I don't even understand why. ah real otter? No. well A plush otter. Okay. With a baby otter.
00:03:57
Speaker
ah I'm very confused. This was presented to me in...
00:04:04
Speaker
the evening. Well, no, it was the day after, actually. it was an afterthought. It was like, fuck, I didn't get anything. i'd been a fucking terrible wife. Sorry, Kristen.
00:04:17
Speaker
Sorry, Kristen. Let's start Kristen under the bus some more, hey? Yeah, yeah. We all know how much we love Kristen. Let's be honest. But that's why. what's What we do as Australians, we make fun of people we like.
00:04:33
Speaker
but she She gave me an otter and she said, I thought it was really cute. I'm like, since when do I like otters? like well that is i don't even understand. At least like I went to a bit of an effort. Okay, admittedly, the effort I went to was not crazy. like so i got ah I got her a card and then I bought one of those Lego flowers kit.
Challenges in Creative Projects
00:04:57
Speaker
i bought one of those lego flowers kit Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I wrote in the card, you know, like something about blooming forever or something, now you know, our love or something like this and, you know, never dying or never fading or something like that and plastic flower, you know, you build out a Lego. how sentimental. know, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:20
Speaker
And then I did also too late actually. And she's like, here's a plush otter. Yeah. Too late, actually. I also bought some keychains of Lego men, actually, as well.
00:05:32
Speaker
Yeah. um They'll be coming, hopefully, this week. um Where, like, it just says, I love, you know, and you put the name in there. And you make it make them look like you and and your partner.
00:05:44
Speaker
Yeah, okay. So, I bought two of them. One that looks like me that says, I love Kristen. And then another one that looks like Kristen and says, I love Justin. Nice. ah So...
00:05:56
Speaker
Yeah, I went a little bit, but not huge. 14 years is not like ah it's like a super-duper milestone, but it's like still 14 years. Yeah. ah Yeah, so that has been the start of this week. um And that sort of then
Critique on Movie Realism
00:06:12
Speaker
fed into ah the the World Rally Car.
00:06:17
Speaker
Yeah. Now, there's been some issues with collapsing parts and, like, bill of like actually building the pieces together and didn't you have to build a frame or something? yeah It's a nightmare.
00:06:31
Speaker
So I realized after like leaving it on the bench, i think i I discussed this last week, didn't I? Yeah. I came into the workshop and all the thing had collapsed, you know, because it was put together with shitty built-in tape, right?
00:06:46
Speaker
And – It collapsed, some parts snapped and broke. And yeah, basically i realized that I was going to need to build some sort of jig to hold everything in the right position.
00:07:01
Speaker
yeah And so that way everything also would be square and true and, you know, things didn't start misaligning because I just, you know, started on one end and, you know, got one piece slightly misaligned. And by the time I got to the other end, it was completely misaligned.
00:07:20
Speaker
ah But unfortunately, that's not far from the actual truth of what's happened. yeah ah Because I built this frame out of square tube, just welded together, get got like ah yeah basically s squared it all up ah inside the build of the 3D prints.
00:07:41
Speaker
there's ah In the front, there's ah like a position for a square tube to sit inside the 3D print and bolt in, and also on the sides in the back. ah What happened?
00:07:54
Speaker
So what I did was build a frame that but can basically hold those positions. in the court and then But I didn't have all the measurements. That's another thing. So yeah I didn't have the 3D model to like double check like distance from here to there. so like It was a bit off, I think.
00:08:12
Speaker
Yeah. But not by much, probably only by about 12 to 15 millimeters. That's pretty fucking good considering you didn't have the plans. Yeah, I had like an overall measurement, but I didn't know which way.
00:08:25
Speaker
like So I knew the exact distance between the sides. Yeah, okay. The distance between the sides. So I had that exactly right. But the distance between where the sides were,
00:08:37
Speaker
mounted to the front, I didn't know. yeah And
Sponsorship and Collaboration Opportunities
00:08:41
Speaker
they were from the sides to the back, I didn't know. So are the wheel arches are things and things like that? You can't really measure it weirdly either because of the wheel arches.
00:08:49
Speaker
Yeah. so And because they flex and bend, you know, you don't really know the right measurement. So i kind of just guesstimated the front part and then it just had to work out.
00:09:01
Speaker
I don't know if that's the reason why it failed when I started gluing, but I don't think so. and I think the biggest problem was that I decided stupidly to fill some of the defects that were in the print with some epoxy.
00:09:20
Speaker
Hmm. Stupid Justin. What does epoxy do when it is setting, Justin? It gets warm. Yep. And guess what heat does? It expands stuff.
00:09:35
Speaker
So, yeah, I made a big, big mistake. just And I only did it on one bit. And i don' and and ah honestly, I don't understand why I did it on there. And then like that was one of the most important joints. I'm like, what were you thinking? Yeah.
00:09:48
Speaker
so What were you thinking, Justin? so the truth was, I was like, i had taped it all together before I built this frame. And I realized the frame was seemed to be okay and seemed to be lining up with everything.
00:10:02
Speaker
I was like, screw it, send it. So I just started gluing stuff together. yeah I really wish that I had another person there. But this is the reality of what I'm doing. like Most of the time I'm working, I'm alone.
00:10:18
Speaker
99% of the time I'm working, I'm completely alone. And I don't have people I could just like call on Wednesday lunchtime to help me like, glue stuff up. Yeah. Yeah. um So that's, that's the sucky bit.
00:10:34
Speaker
So I just like, do I i'll just start just to one piece at a time, you know, I'll try to. Yeah. And everything seemed to go okay. The truth is too though, you know, they're printed in PETG, which is, you know, has a higher deform temperature around 80 degrees. Yeah.
00:10:56
Speaker
But when you print them, they they end up lifting from the build plate. Yeah. Okay. So where the build plays plate is, is like a banana.
00:11:07
Speaker
move it's It's not much, it's like one to two millimeters. It can lift up on the ends of the print. Yeah. Yep. That's enough to not get a nice, ah um sorry.
00:11:23
Speaker
It's called Do Not Disturb function on your telephone, Justin. Sorry, I was just on the podcast, Kristen. You ruined everything. sorry. We were just bad-mouthing you two. There's a card sent to your email. That's all. need it.
00:11:41
Speaker
Okay. There's no email here. I don't know what she's talking about. All right, let's just get on with it, Giz. There was no email.
Pursuing Passions and Opportunities
00:11:53
Speaker
I don't know what the hell she was. Anyway, so after interaction, i was on YouTube looking at stupid videos while stupid and crap.
00:12:03
Speaker
um Yeah, so the the the frame has kind of helped with the assembly process. what's What's the next steps?
00:12:15
Speaker
So I started gluing. so the interesting thing about the build process is ah when you join the the parts, the vertical joins generally have dowel pins.
00:12:28
Speaker
Yeah. But the horizontal joins seems not to have dowel pins. Oh, that seems odd. Yeah, it's really kind of difficult to get everything like lined up and, you know, I thought... you drilled dowel pins.
00:12:43
Speaker
Of course I could, but they're not as strong as the actual 3D printed dowel pins because... It's reinforced in It's reinforced inside, yeah. So... What I end up doing was just drilling three millimeter holes all along the edge and so that I could get glue penetration into the pot.
00:13:04
Speaker
It wasn't just surface penetration. No one likes surface penetration. You want to go deep, deep into them pots.
00:13:19
Speaker
So yeah, basically... um It was a bit of a nightmare because you know because of the deformity of some of these parts, sir I would find that I just had to kind of guesstimate sometimes ah yeah the positioning of it.
00:13:37
Speaker
you know Because if you have it half a millimeter slightly off, it means the next piece is maybe... a millimeter and a half off. Yeah. And so you have to kind of guess where to put it. Even though you have these locator pins and everything and you can kind of see that the surfaces, how they're supposed to meet, and yeah but it's still a pain the ass. And then you basically smear it in glue.
00:14:02
Speaker
Yeah. And you squish it together and you're like, ah, is it the right position? You've got to move so quick because the glue starts go. What kind of glue are I'm just using super glue.
00:14:13
Speaker
Really? Okay. Is that going to do the job? Yeah, well, I mean, Thomas recommended it over everything else. Yeah, okay. We we tried some other glues. like i tried I tried this ah like a glue ah that was used for like kitchen benches and stuff like that. Yeah. ah There was a version...
00:14:32
Speaker
so I watched a video where this guy was doing tests on glues and the PTEG that we we were using, right? And was the best what has the best bond and and strength.
00:14:45
Speaker
And that he said there was this product called Bostic. What was it? Shit, it was like 590 or something like this.
00:14:56
Speaker
Right. Sounds technical. Yeah. It was a glue, right, in one of those tubes you use a caulking gun with, right? Yeah. And he said it was unbelievably strong and great for this. Yeah.
00:15:07
Speaker
Surprised in his tech shoe. And he surprised – was super surprised by it. And so – Thomas and I tried to find the equivalent, but we couldn't find it here. It was only in Germany they sold this shit.
00:15:19
Speaker
a The Germans. So we ended up just trying one other product that was looked similar. yeah But I tried it out. It just wasn't the same.
00:15:30
Speaker
No. it just It didn't dry hard enough. yeah And when when it's soft and bendable, imagine if you're painting it. Yeah, yeah. you know And then the car flexes and basically cracks the paint.
00:15:43
Speaker
Like, yeah no, it's not good. enough No, it's not that's not cool. So we don't we didn't want that. So we decided that instead what we would do is just go back to what we know, which is super glue. Biltema sells this super glue that's kind of thick yeah it as't and has a can of activator.
00:16:02
Speaker
with it know and it's not it's not expensive. So I think it costs about 40 kronas for a can.
Brewing Industry Insights
00:16:10
Speaker
Yeah. you know and the and the So i I think I've used 10.
00:16:15
Speaker
ten Okay. 10 bottles so far and the car's not even half complete. Okay. But you basically- It's only 400 kronas in glue.
00:16:26
Speaker
Yeah, well, I mean, it could be a lot worse, right? Yeah, exactly. that ah Because the corking gun glue was 320 kroners for one thing, right? and you'd probably use like 20 of them. Yeah, exactly. So that ah you know we'll try to work out how to actually build this thing without it you having complete...
00:16:47
Speaker
failures, it was just it's so stressful because you've got so little time. You just have to make a decision. like yeah, that looks about right. And then you just spray the activator and just hope it was in the right position until you line up the next piece and you're like, ah, no, what have I done? It's a nightmare.
00:17:05
Speaker
Yeah. So... There's holes through the whole thing. Yeah. ah And I'm still waiting on parts. I still actually don't have all the parts for the body yet.
00:17:19
Speaker
Star-Lord's broken. Star-Lord. Yeah, that's my 3D printer. Are you calling it Star Lord? Well, actually, that's that's Thomas's thing. So he has names for his 3D printers. Yeah, right.
00:17:33
Speaker
He has like a PUSA printer that he calls Tony. Right.
00:17:40
Speaker
And then he has ah another what do either actually so as another bamboo loves i think ah Bamboo Labs, at least the something. And I forget what she... He's one of the Marvel characters.
00:17:54
Speaker
Yeah, okay. So he calls them after Marvel characters. Yeah. So I said i didn't want anything... you know, shit like the Black Widow, world's worst fucking superhero.
00:18:06
Speaker
Or Hawkeye. Like, why would you? What? World's worst superheroes.
00:18:17
Speaker
And then I decided that Star Wars was cool. sir you know yeah yeah it was so You know, if I ever started my own like physical production site, which had tanks, I'd have 12
00:18:31
Speaker
That would be the goal. 12 tanks and name every single one after the apostles. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. I get that. like ah ah And Judas is only the sour beer tank. Yeah.
00:18:44
Speaker
i So, yeah. the But, yeah. So it sounds like, i mean, at least you're moving forward, yeah? i Yeah, I mean, to be honest, we Thomas came yesterday with some bart more parts, which are like the back window and the and majority of the part that goes over the, the what you call it, the B, the A pillar.
00:19:07
Speaker
And we're just missing the B pillar for the for the window. yeah And then once we got that, ol yeah like it's go, go, go. So hopefully Star-Lord is fixed ah soon.
00:19:21
Speaker
um Thomas sent me some pictures of ah the print nozzle head all bent up. So it seems like something happened bad there. So he'll fix that. though He's really good at that stuff. Nice.
00:19:37
Speaker
But to be honest, considering how much printing has been going on with these printers and you know my printer all of a sudden shits itself after i don't know how many hundreds of hours of printing, yeah pretty good. yeah Yeah. It's pretty good. So, yeah, of course, some things are going to go wrong and and and that's amazing. Bamboo Labs, I think you can't really go wrong. If you don't know anything about 3D printing and you want to start, just spend the money on a Bamboo Lab. This podcast is sponsored by Bamboo Labs 3D printers.
00:20:11
Speaker
We wish. We wish. so We'd be in the money. We'll be rolling in it if Bamboo Labs jump on this podcast. Maybe get some free filament. Yeah. Bloody need that.
00:20:23
Speaker
Yeah. but I don't know how much we've spent now, but it has to be close to 20, 30, 20, 25,000. Yeah. sincere um But talking about filament and 3D printing, when Thomas was here, yeah i got a random phone call from this guy who I tried to get in contact with him I don't know, probably six months ago or something like this. Okay.
00:20:53
Speaker
About working together. he He runs a company called Noai. Okay. And they make longboard skateboards. Right. And they have some clothing and stuff. It's just like a small brand here.
00:21:06
Speaker
ah yeah. You know what? I've seen this. Yeah, yeah. Yep. Yeah. And the guy's actually a um a graphic designer and a photographer.
00:21:18
Speaker
And he also runs this Noai brand. here And yeah, I kind of thought, oh, and why don't I just, you know, I wanted to make a jet powered skateboard or something like this at some point.
00:21:30
Speaker
hey And, you know, I thought he was going to be up for the idea, but then just dropped off the radar and he didn't end up talking about projects.
00:21:41
Speaker
You know, so that that happens. But then I get this random call as Thomas is here delivering parts. Right. hey, ah you know it's Shetil from Nauai whatever. And ah you know I just wanted to talk to you about a project.
00:22:01
Speaker
and And he sort of mentioned Thomas as being involved in maybe doing this project. and as so And Thomas is like, hey, I'm actually here right now. He's like, great.
00:22:13
Speaker
So he and i he's like, great, I'm turning around. I'm driving to you guys. Yeah, there you go. So he came to visit yesterday and he basically pitched an idea that he onces you wants to build Volkswagen ID ah like a voltswagen id buzz bus.
00:22:34
Speaker
okay You know, so you know, the Volkswagen new, essentially they're like a combi van, right? But they're new versions, the electric ones. The electric combi van. Yeah.
00:22:46
Speaker
Yeah. So basically he wanted to rebuild like ah a small version of that. Okay. Like what scale are we talking here? Same with rally car? No, a bit smaller.
00:22:58
Speaker
Okay. Four? Well, he just so he has a 1963 combi bus, like miniature version. Okay.
00:23:11
Speaker
And so he wants to make like the modern version of it as well. He also has these cars at home. So yeah has he he arrived... At our place in one of these id Buzz buses. Yeah. um So I don't know if anything's going to come from that.
00:23:31
Speaker
Yeah. But it just shows you like you just keep on doing the work and then things things start to to line up, right?
Entrepreneurial Challenges
00:23:40
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Cool. And I think like that honestly is what's been amazing for me. It actually – It blows my mind the the opportunities that come eventually when you...
00:24:00
Speaker
Just do what you love doing. There we go. I was waiting. Mind blown.
00:24:10
Speaker
ah Yeah, I just think like yeah think about it. you know i i wanted to build this rally car for me. I didn't like i didn't care that it was going to do well or whatever. i just wanted I just thought it was a really cool idea. like well Why wouldn't you want to have your own – world rally car in your little, you're like a small version of that in your garage. It'd just be a cool project, right?
00:24:33
Speaker
And I wanted to build it for me, nothing else. no i didn't I don't have any expectations that it's going to do well. In fact, i actually think it won't do well. But, you know, like you never know.
00:24:46
Speaker
but some people are seeing the work, right? Yeah. The people that matter. Yeah. And so, you know, I don't think this opportunity would have come up if – I wasn't building this this car.
00:25:00
Speaker
Yeah. Right? Yeah. Now, whether that project works out, because he's going to be talking direct with Volkswagen. Okay. try to do Try to do some sort of deal with like a promotion thing or some ad or, you know, you know that sort of thing.
00:25:17
Speaker
Some sort of reclama thing. Yeah. Yeah. And his goal is to eventually keep the thing. So that's that's what he wants. But like he basically wants some financial support from from yeah brand. Yeah, but that's great. I mean, like if you've got German Volkswagen money behind you, ah sky's the limit.
00:25:38
Speaker
Maybe. I mean, let's just see how it goes. Like, I don't know if it's going to turn into anything. But, you ah you know, like I said, it just it blows my mind to see that finally opportunities are coming and just just randomly. Like, that was a random call.
00:25:55
Speaker
Yeah. Like, on a Sunday. just happened to be that Thomas was also in my garage and he's like, I'm coming. And we said, like, Sandy.
00:26:08
Speaker
We spent like three hours together talking about projects. yeah i was showing him what I've been up to and that sort of stuff. And Thomas talking about 3D printing and how to do the project and yeah cool budgets and all sorts of stuff. So,
00:26:23
Speaker
you know If nothing comes of it, I'm sure something else will come later, ah you know what mean. Yeah. yeah Cool. Yeah, that's kind of just how it is, I think.
00:26:35
Speaker
Yeah. It's going to be a fun fun thing to to see what happens. Nice. Yeah. And that's that's my week. Cool. Pretty exciting, actually, if you think about it.
00:26:48
Speaker
Yeah. The things getting put together, it's looking like a rally car at the moment. Other things are lining up. Yeah. The chopper video, the bike video is still doing okay? Yeah, I just checked it actually earlier today because I get curious about these things. What's it at?
00:27:09
Speaker
twenty two hundred and twenty k Oh, great. there you go. Over the weekend, it's picked up a roughly 20,000 views. Yeah, it's ah it's great.
00:27:22
Speaker
and So it just shows you like that just keep on doing what you're doing and eventually it will work its way out, right? Yeah. yeah Yeah. That's awesome. Cool. Kieran, what about your week?
00:27:35
Speaker
It's been full week of different things. Holy Ghost. is probably, well, if all goes well, is being canned today. Yeah. How did the mixing go?
00:27:48
Speaker
It went in on and Thursday and did the blending. um Really difficult because there's no, everything is estimation.
00:28:00
Speaker
ah So and I took a sample off the tank and I dosed with like a dropper. to work out what the roughly like the the dosage per liter would be yeah and then then i was like how much is in tank do you think and he's like uh uh maybe 750 liters and i'm like maybe or like do you know pretty with certainty And ah so there was a lot of like, well, we'll just have to see. So ah took the initial dosing, reduced it by 20%, and then dosed that in. Managed to spill a lot of it when I was pouring it into the ah into the little dosatron, I'm going to call it.
00:28:47
Speaker
How did you spill it? You just nervous? i know that I mean, the jug I had was rubbish. So it just fucking, don't know, it just spilt everywhere. So...
00:28:58
Speaker
um Which I'm grateful for, actually, because we we dosed and I roused the tank. So basically what happens is there's like a little container in the which we attach to the bottom of the tank where there's a valve.
00:29:11
Speaker
And then you and take the you fill it full of the CO2, so there's no oxygen. And then you fill the the container with with the...
00:29:25
Speaker
chili stuff and then purge the oxygen out of the out of this vessel and then with pressure on blow it into the tank. Yeah. and And then you let the beer back in and then rouse it again into the tank. and just So basically a bubbling CO2 through the beer to try and and and move this chili solution through the actual beer itself.
00:29:52
Speaker
Hmm. So I did that, let it bubble for a minute or two and then had a tasting and I think it's right on point. I think if I'd even with what I spilt, it might have been too hot actually because the stuff is so fucking powerful. It's like, you know, the difference between one drop you know, extra in, in a, in a, in a can of beer.
00:30:17
Speaker
Like if you think one drop. is piece of vi Yeah. I mean the one, one drop is worth 0.05 of a millimeter milliliter. Right.
00:30:27
Speaker
So one drop in a 440 mil can, like 0.05 of milliliter is enough to like turn a beer from like, you know, good to too hot. So it's ah it's a pretty fine-tuned thing. I'm glad I spilled it because i would have it would have probably been too hot.
00:30:47
Speaker
If I had dosed, it got everything had gone in. So um um i think it's tasting great. The base beer is tasting really good too. it's ah And that's good considering what what we didn't tell you on the podcast, but there were some issues with brewing, right? Yeah, there was a lot of miscommunication. there was a lot of feelings going around the place um on both sides, I might add, not just mine.
00:31:11
Speaker
and um you just have to take things as they come and deal with the challenges as they come and there's no point in getting miffed and angry and bitter about it um things like this happen and that's when you what happens when you're dealing with other people and and uh Long story short, though, i think the beer is still okay.
00:31:37
Speaker
It's actually not what I want. It doesn't have that super clean, crisp bitterness that you want in a West Coast IPA. Yeah. um But it's still got a nice fruity profile from the hops.
00:31:52
Speaker
So I'm really happy with that aspect of it. And I think the beer is still good. Is it exactly what I want? No. but You have to take the the challenges that I've had in in with a grain of salt and see that you know it's still a good beer and I think it'll still do really well.
00:32:13
Speaker
i think it takes I think it tastes great still, even if it's not what I want. I still think it tastes great. I think it'll be really well received by people. you know the other Because the other thing too is is that I have an idea in my head of what is good, right?
00:32:28
Speaker
But that might be completely different to someone else. You know, like I think, oh, this beer needs like a crisp, bitter finish. Right. And someone else might go, oh, it's too bitter and a stringer don't like it.
00:32:40
Speaker
You know, so you never know. You never know the way the market is now with these hazy IPAs. People don't typically like bitter beers anymore. anymore So maybe it's going to work in my favor in this case, ah in terms of how it's received.
00:32:56
Speaker
So I always thought, I thought that the, the, The stuff I tasted was amazing. And i I never thought it was bitter at the end. I thought it was perfectly balanced.
00:33:07
Speaker
Yeah. That being said, you know, like i'm a I'm a perfectionist. So that's the way I'm at. like and And that's where I think about everything when I when i produce a beer.
00:33:19
Speaker
I'm trying to get a result that is perfect. and And as you and I well know, perfection just moves all time. Like it it's it's ah it's a goal that you never quite reach.
00:33:34
Speaker
Yeah, 100%. i think i mean I think it's a positive thing because you're always focused on producing the best quality product you can. And I think that this this will be a a real interesting project product to see how well it's received ah by the Norwegian market.
00:33:52
Speaker
um I think it would be really positive that it's currently still holding a very high Untappd rating based from the basically all the friends and family and people I know who have checked it in on Untappd and have really liked it and given it like a sitting at like 4.15 or something like that and now, which is quite really good for ah for a yeah ah beer on Untappd.
00:34:18
Speaker
And so, yeah it's going to be really interesting to see what happens there. um And there'll be some, the beer without ah chili has been kegged and that one is going to be released to bars and restaurants as well.
00:34:34
Speaker
So I split the batch in halves in terms of her half half kegs with chili and half without just to cater the mark for the market a little bit. And then the rest goes to Cannes, which goes to the Wine Monopoly, which is released in July.
00:34:50
Speaker
Yeah, so this is July beer. Nice. Yeah, right, for your summer holiday. Bang. Bit of chili in your face. Well, let's hope it sells well. I hope so. i mean, I think the label it is fucking killer and I think people will just buy it based on the label, to be honest.
00:35:07
Speaker
Let's hope so. Let's hope it just smashes out the window. Yeah. So that's that's the plan and I'm excited to see where it will go. um I've also been so talking with the Amundsen guys about doing this split batch with them.
00:35:25
Speaker
Yeah. Where I'll split a base beer into two different tanks and then treat them differently and then release two beers and at the same time for the next release.
00:35:36
Speaker
So this is going to be gearing up for the September Bestilling Zutvolk. Yeah. So this will be brewed at the end of July if we got all goes to plan.
00:35:48
Speaker
And I just need to have come up with a name for the second beer. The first one is going to be anointing citra. So it's kind the base beer is going to be anointing citra and then be treated differently on the second one. so i've the second one, um've decide I've landed on a name.
00:36:04
Speaker
and it might be ah controversial. It might be strange, however you want to see it. and But it's going to be called We're All Gods.
00:36:16
Speaker
Okay, and and what what's what are you going to dose it with? What are you going to change it? It's going to have a different dry hop profile. um you know like to be honest, I actually haven't 100% decided.
00:36:29
Speaker
Like like i the one fun thing about having a small batch like this, like it's got a port on top of the tank. Like I can, but they can, i well not only can I dry hop it, but I can add like more sugar. Like I do like a dissolved dextrose in and then make it a bigger beer.
00:36:47
Speaker
I can make it ah make it a 10% instead of an 8% if I wanted to and then dry hop it like fucking crazy if that's what I want to do. um So I can do all sorts of things.
00:37:00
Speaker
um Yeah. So I think it's ah I've got a cool idea because I want to pull back. The anointing label has like a very different visual profile for yeah for the other beers.
00:37:11
Speaker
And I want to kind of pull back to... some of the like cryo Jesus and Holy Ghost style. I think that branding is really good. and So, um, so I'm going to have, uh, like, uh, the idea at this point, uh, obviously i have to outwork this, uh, artwork is to have like a lady justice, uh, breaking into,
00:37:37
Speaker
Okay. You know, so the the lady, the blind. and white With the scales. Blind with the scales, yeah. yeah so that And that's in direct reference to we Are All Gods, which is a quote from Psalm 82 and John 1034, which I didn't actually, like I did some research after this because i was thinking about this.
00:37:56
Speaker
I came across this idea like jesus Jesus just drops in this, just in the story, Jesus is being um basically told that he's a, He's a harris heretic, right? And by all these religious leaders in the day.
00:38:15
Speaker
And he just responds, and I didn't realize this until I researched this, he just responds with, we are all gods. And I was just like, how does it, what, I don't even understand what.
00:38:26
Speaker
And then I realized that that's a that's, he's quoting Psalm 82, which in the day would have been really well known. And Psalm 82 is all about injustice, judging people as if you are God, but you are not God.
00:38:44
Speaker
So it's it's basically about the scales of justice being tipped in man's favor in terms of we're all treating each other unjustly.
00:38:56
Speaker
And so I really like that idea. And it's kind of like ah ah subtle poke at our society and the way we are in our current day.
00:39:07
Speaker
The justice is this weird thing that's not really ah being, you know, look at look at what's happening in politics. you know, and how people get away with things. um There's no justice. Well, there's very little justice. We've got skewed justice.
00:39:26
Speaker
And I don't know, it's a bit of a political hot topic. But, you know, if i can't if people can't have something like that and if the curious people will will look into it and be interested, and those who aren't, they'll just enjoy a great beer.
00:39:42
Speaker
so a Question. Yeah. So you said you wanted to go a little bit back to the the old, or not the old, but like the cryo-Jesus, you know, the Holy Ghost so style of label. Yeah.
00:39:57
Speaker
ah Does that mean that you're also going to change the label for suchtra Anointing, even though you printed them? Yeah. I don't think so. It's a lot of work and a lot of cost to redo it.
00:40:09
Speaker
um it could be worth it. if It really depends. I think we'll see how the challenges have already got Citra anointing Mosaic anointing and Galaxy anointing labels printed.
00:40:22
Speaker
it's already like it's a lot of money down the drain. It's like 7,000, 8,000 crowns down the drain just to keep a visual profile going. and i think agreed but heres the thing. ah Again! on.
00:40:37
Speaker
what's going on
00:40:40
Speaker
but ah this
00:40:46
Speaker
Yeah, sorry. care Silent, put it on silent mode. and yeah Obviously, yes, it'd be nice to be able to keep the visual profile going.
00:40:58
Speaker
um But here's my point. Yeah. So... people You kind of get known for cryo Jesus, you come out with Holy Ghost, it does insanely well, right? Let's just yeah let's think positive, right? yeah Then you put out anointing and the branding is not really the same, let's be honest. No, it's not. it's not and so And then people just walk by it.
00:41:23
Speaker
Yeah, it depends. Obviously, it depends on the to beer. like I hope that the the brand will be enough to shoot through because the branding is very clear on that label because essentially just a colour texture um and that that will be enough.
00:41:40
Speaker
And we'll just have to wait and see. I mean, I can always change it on the next round. Well, I mean, like anointing, you know, is that...
00:41:51
Speaker
that That's oil. Yeah, that's oil, right? And you just and you like you put it on the the baby's forehead or whatever, right? Yeah, or or a person. Or something like this, ah So that's what i that's the visual i I had is like this this person being anointed with do down oil.
00:42:13
Speaker
Or doused in like hops, basically. Yeah. Right? I could obviously work on that and have something on the side for that, absolutely. um The main issue now is time.
00:42:29
Speaker
It takes a lot of time and effort to do it. do a label and get it perfected in the way I want. So we'll start with the one I absolutely need to to do. And then if I have the time to redo this Citra anointing one, I will do.
00:42:46
Speaker
So we'll... Question. Yes. You have mentioned before that to sell those beers in Sweden as well, you need to have Swedish on the labels. That's already there.
00:42:58
Speaker
So, yeah. Holy Ghost has Swedish written on the on the back. Right, great. So this is potentially you can sell in the Systembolag in Sweden. Yeah, so I just need enough in to Systembolag. That's the biggest problem i face at this point.
00:43:16
Speaker
What do you mean enough in What does that mean? like Obviously, it has to cut through the noise. People have to be after it and ask for it, and it has to be available to Systema Lager.
00:43:28
Speaker
So I have this ah there's this system through my distributor that they can sell into Systema Lager. yeah ah but I've really hit a wall with them. I've tried to get product moving forward and it's just kind of stopped up.
00:43:45
Speaker
And I've like tried to follow up what's happening with this. And there's to been very little communication on where it's going. I've kind of put it on the back burner for now.
00:43:56
Speaker
And it's definitely something I need to follow up for the future. I mean, is there a way you can get the products of known? Like, for example, try to go take, for example, Holy Ghost to a very like known beer bar in Stockholm, for example.
00:44:16
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And then get some notoriety there and then Systembolag all of a sudden thinks, oh, maybe this is worth getting into. I mean, I think it has to be a little bigger than just a ah beer bar, but yeah. Yeah, you get my point, right? Yeah. And I think the beer geek world is small enough that people talk over borders.
00:44:41
Speaker
Yeah. and So I hope that there'll be some some positive stuff. Are you going to do any beer festivals this year? To be honest, they're already like they're already decided.
00:44:56
Speaker
Um, and I think I thought about this and like, well, you know, actually don't even know like how they do it. Cause I've never been approached by anyone to be a part of one.
00:45:10
Speaker
And, uh, and so I'm like, do I like call them up and be like, Hey, can I be a part of your beer first of all? Um, that's yeah. I mean, obviously if there's something that comes up, I'll, I'll jump on board. Absolutely.
00:45:24
Speaker
Um, But I haven't actively seeked it out. It's been a busy time with the kids and hard with the wife working week every third weekend as well, which they always fall on weekends.
00:45:35
Speaker
And ah not to mention the the projects and stuff that have been filling up my days, unfortunately. Wife problems, as we mentioned last week. So the – which I am now feeling the the effects of on my back as I've been shoveling fucking gravel all weekend.
00:45:56
Speaker
Should have bought a digger. Or rented one of those digger things. Yeah, yeah. Oh, if only. Yeah. So, a yeah, but that's that's pretty much it, you know. um there's a ah I've decided, though, um regarding the wine, that ah I've got to start making some moves um with the wine.
00:46:24
Speaker
ah It's, to be honest, I'm out of my depth. um And my gut says, move on.
00:46:36
Speaker
Don't flog a dead horse. ah in that there's not Not that the wine is a dead case, but it's just it's not my it's not my forte. I'm not like i'm a beer guy. What am I fucking around with wine for?
00:46:48
Speaker
I had ah had a lot of, you know, I had a great idea and I thought, oh, this will be a great addition to the to the business. and And to be honest, a complete naivety on...
00:47:02
Speaker
how much work was involved in selling wine in this country, especially now with a massive, massive downturn in and the restaurant and bar industry.
00:47:15
Speaker
Yeah, because of everything all the prices and everything. Prices, and high interest rates. No one's going out. And so as a result, they you know businesses are on buttting battening down the hatches. like There was like a ah restaurant here in Drummond that had was like named the city's best restaurant yeah several ah years in a row. Fucking bankrupt now.
00:47:41
Speaker
Yeah. Closing the doors. Yeah, because, ah yeah. Can't make it work. Well, when you when you make really good food, you have to also set really good prices on things. Yeah, right.
00:47:52
Speaker
You need the right people and the right expertise and everything, right? Yeah, and people aren't willing to pay that price, unfortunately. So it's a bit of a sad truth. So I'm i'm now um in some talks with some people about about the wine and maybe – ah some other companies taking on the product and who actually have expertise to sell it and do it justice.
00:48:20
Speaker
And so there, we'll see where that goes. um It's just, it it's been a bitter a pill to swallow, if I'm honest, because you come in with all these high expectations. You think, going to fuck, kill it. This is going to be awesome. And then your reality slaps you in the face sometimes. so And it's it can be really fucking
Learning from Business Failures
00:48:43
Speaker
heavy. Yeah.
00:48:45
Speaker
I'll be honest. Well, they they talk about this with regards to the cycles of the entrepreneur, right? So you get into this thing. You think it's a great idea. you go invest. you go You get the product in.
00:48:59
Speaker
And then you get to the reality of trying to actually make it work. And it's insanely difficult. It's not as easy as you thought it was going to be, right? And this is is and this is where most people give up.
00:49:12
Speaker
Yeah, and it's like you have a choice. Do I do i give up and move on or do I press on and i just And that's where you have to go with your gut, I think, in this scenario. um Do you have that feeling in your gut that like pushing on and doing the hard work is going to pay off?
00:49:30
Speaker
Or do you have the gut feeling that, like you know what, this is not my piece of cake actually. beer guy. You know, it's like, it's like, oh, started selling, you know, metal trinkets, which I, you know, fucking weld myself or whatever, but I'm rubbish at welding.
00:49:53
Speaker
What I'm really good at is woodwork. Why you fucking around with metal? Like stick to the thing you're good at. Yeah. I mean, that I'll talk about that in my recommendation. Yeah.
00:50:05
Speaker
But I kind of agree with you. ah The only thing I would say, though, is if you don't really, if you care about the business side of things, you'll make anything work.
00:50:16
Speaker
Yeah, of course. But I'm not, the thing I think the challenge is I'm not, I have to be know myself. I'm not in this to be rich. I'm in this because I like doing it.
00:50:28
Speaker
the The other side of things that I have to ask is what happens if suddenly ah the wine explodes? Not a problem for me.
00:50:40
Speaker
Yeah. So that's my point. It was like, would you be – if someone else started importing it yeah and it freaking blew up and everyone was like, wow, haps, wine, haps, wine, haps, wine. I'd stoked for haps. Yeah.
00:50:53
Speaker
I'd be stoked that I played a part in it coming to this country and and be happy that I didn't have to deal with the headache that that comes with that. Because I get to do what I like. you know I'm happy to doing what I want to do. i want to make beer. That's what I'm doing.
00:51:10
Speaker
And I enjoy that bit. and And there's like, you know, i and only had to brew a beer again in the garage. And I was just like, the way I just am obsessed with like the fermentation temperature and measuring things, dumping stuff off the tank every day, making sure the beer is everything it can be, shows me where my heart is at.
00:51:33
Speaker
And I just realized that's where my heart is at because I'm excited about making this new label, not about selling wine. No, I get that. And so there's like there's where I'm at.
00:51:45
Speaker
There's where my skill set is at. Now, if i'm trying if the if if I'm in a situation where I'm like, I've got to make money to pay my bills, obviously the the perspective changes. Yeah.
00:51:58
Speaker
Yeah. And sometimes you've got to just do the grind and make it work if it's the difference between kids eating or not. um So, but I'm not, thankfully I'm not in that position and I have a luxury position where I can say, you know what?
00:52:15
Speaker
I'm going to try and move on from this, take whatever loss I have to on this, if hopefully not any loss, but, you know, I've got to face reality on this, probably going to be a bit of a loss and then move on to the things that give me life and and I'm really passionate about.
00:52:34
Speaker
And at the end of the day, those are the things people will remember me for. remember Eucharist brewing because of the passion I put into it. Yeah. So, Yeah. yeah That's a, I put in my little notes here. Wine is bad for my gut.
00:52:49
Speaker
ah um You know, I love a good wine, but yeah, I'm a beer guy at the end of the day. So that's where I'm at. Awesome. Well, I'm glad you shared that with everyone because I think it's important to share like the ups and downs of trying to do stuff for yourself, right? And and yeah learning by failing. like you You've got to try stuff. And I'd have no regrets. That's the thing. I don't regret buying in the wine.
00:53:17
Speaker
i don't like hate myself because of it. I just think it was it it was a risk I took and it felt shit when it hasn't worked out the way I wanted it to. But without risk, there's no reward.
00:53:32
Speaker
and And often with risk comes failure. And that's just, you have to absorb that when you when it comes
00:53:40
Speaker
That doesn't mean that I didn't have any a few dark nights of the soul. you know what I mean? and have to be completely honest about that. I can't be sugarcoating and tell you, well, I just got over it.
00:53:52
Speaker
I fucking didn't. You have an old Donnie Darko on it. Oh, man. I was like, I couldn't sleep. that was like of I got more gray hair in my beard. like It's definitely taken its toll.
00:54:06
Speaker
So it's... um It's definitely a reminder of what's important, though. And I think that's that's the my takeaway from this. So we'll see what happens. You never know. i mean, maybe I've still got the wine and it just takes off by itself and sells itself and then everyone's fucking happy.
00:54:24
Speaker
But if not, then I've got some other plans in motion and we'll see where what pans out. Great. what's ah What's blowing your mind this week, Kieran? Yeah. You know what's blur my mind this week, Justin?
00:54:37
Speaker
Please tell me. Spaceballs 2.
00:54:45
Speaker
Mind blown. Mel Brooks classic from 1987 is movie, a sequel. Spaceballs 2. I really hope they call it Spaceballs 2, the search for more money, which they reference in the movie itself, in the first movie. That would be fucking great.
00:55:05
Speaker
But, yeah, they've I mean, they've got Rick Moranis, the original Dark Helmet actor. Oh, my God. yeah ah Lined up. And what's the name of the guy ah that plays Lone Star in that movie?
00:55:16
Speaker
Oh, he's a famous actor, too. can't remember now. Yeah, can't. they've got like they've got so like some of the original cast set up to do this. ah So, I mean...
00:55:31
Speaker
I'm really curious of what they'll make of it. Like, I mean, 1987 comedy kind of can't really be done this day and age with with all this like politically correct stuff. I mean, if you think about those the jokes in that movie, or I don't think you can make movies like that anymore without getting cancelled.
00:55:54
Speaker
I think you can. think you can now. Maybe it's swinging back the other way. Yeah, the pendulum's swinging, dude. Yeah. I think people just getting over this whole like politically correct stuff. Yeah. Just go, you know what?
00:56:06
Speaker
We just want to laugh at a half racist joke that we know is not really racist. It's just, it's funny to poke holes. It's a commentary on yeah on society. Yeah. yeah So I think it's just, a it's a really story.
00:56:21
Speaker
idea I mean, just like the the trailer that they released is just like the scrolling Star Wars style text explaining that there's been all these like Star Wars movies and eight Harry Potter movies and blah, blah, blah.
00:56:34
Speaker
But there's an always spin offs of all this, this, that and the other. But there's only been one Spaceballs until now. And then there's like a cuts to this clip with with fucking Mel Brooks, the old coger that he is now, in a jumper that says Spaceballs the sweatshirt. but
00:56:55
Speaker
And I was just like, I'm like, yes, yes, finally. ah I'm excited to see how this turns out. 2027, I have to wait two years.
00:57:07
Speaker
yeah That's crazy. But I mean, wouldn't it be awesome? I think it would do well too because everyone just wants to see what this old classic could be in part two. Oh man, it's a classic. It's so bad. It's such a bad movie. That's the whole point. It's like,
00:57:22
Speaker
But just the whole comedy. If you haven't seen Spaceballs, please do yourself a favor. ah You might be appalled, but do it anyway. ah so many So many classic lines in that movie.
00:57:37
Speaker
Darren, you know, I was thinking about your beers and stuff. Yeah. And, you know, I was thinking, I sent you this video on Instagram the other day with Jesus who actually kills the dinosaurs. Oh, yeah. I'm going to play it to everybody now. Is that from...
00:58:07
Speaker
so good. Is that like... Jesus, making oil for Republicans.
00:58:16
Speaker
night make it all for republican
00:58:26
Speaker
it's so good is that and jesus making oil for republican um maybe It made me think, was that like a a family guy clip or something like that? think it's not family guy, I don't think, but it's I think it's something similar. Oh, man. Making oil for Republicans. Fucking hell.
00:58:49
Speaker
um I think we need to move on to the shit segment, Karen. Yeah. yeah Is there anything giving you the shits at the moment? you know what's giving me the shits this week, Justin?
00:59:01
Speaker
Pizza!
00:59:05
Speaker
Who does number two work for? Seriously, I've got to say this. Pizza probably has to be the most overrated food on the planet. Now,
00:59:20
Speaker
yeah hold people like, what? don't... Okay, I can see there's a place for a top quality, like pizza, like maybe if you, like my jam would be like proper Italian, maybe like a stone-fired oven type, like wood-fired oven type pizza.
00:59:41
Speaker
I ah do enjoy those, absolutely. But the hype when people like, oh, what are we going to do? We're going to have pizza. And everyone's like, yay, wow, a bro-sheba with melted cheese on it.
00:59:55
Speaker
right Like a slice of bread with cheese on it. Like that's realistically what we're eating. It's like, why are we getting so excited about bread with cheese and sauce?
01:00:08
Speaker
It's just like saying, yay, toasties. Yeah, like everyone's like, wow, toasties, you know. And I was just like, why I don't quite understand. Like it's simple food and it is tasty food some most of the time,

01:00:23
Speaker
you know. But then – For us poor suckers that have maybe experienced a broader range of what pizza can be, and then you come to and the the country of Norway and call that home, you may be a little bit disappointed at the state of pizza.
01:00:46
Speaker
Yeah, they want 400 kroners for a freaking pizza. $40 for a pizza. It's out of control. And not only that, but you're not getting any quality on that pizza.
01:01:00
Speaker
Like, there is nothing fresh. There's nothing ah crispy. There is nothing that's not covered in salt. Nothing.
01:01:11
Speaker
It's like, it's the the sloppiest... average like i'm like There are people out there that are like, hold on, hold on. You don't haven't been to Num Nums Pizza on the corner shop that does the best kebab whatever. But like, just, I'm sorry.
01:01:32
Speaker
Pizza, I just think it's overrated. It's giving the shits. Yeah, i agree, Kieran. but I agree. like And the fact is that it's so expensive. ah It's like, you know, in Australia- $5 Tuesday's pizzas.
01:01:46
Speaker
I know, right? It's so good. that That you're willing pay for like overrated bread with cheese on it. Yeah, literally. Like for $5, right? If a pizza was 50 kroner, 60 kroner, whatever it is, right?
01:02:00
Speaker
You'd be like, yeah. It's all right. Like, we'll get 100 of them. Yeah. Right? But, i mean, you can literally buy 10 cheap-ass pizzas for the price of one Norwegian pizza, and the quality is on par with a shitty $5 Australian Domino's Well, the truth is, like, most Norwegians have never really properly travelled,
01:02:28
Speaker
You know, they'll they say they travel, but they just went to fucking Spain bain with all the other Norwegians. Yeah, so and went at an all-inclusive resort. Yeah, yeah. So they didn't really experience any decent food, let's be honest. They never left a resort.
01:02:42
Speaker
They didn't actually go to the streets of Barcelona and try and do anything. Just try some real tapas or anything like this. Yeah, yeah. They're like, oh, yeah, I tried a date wrapped in ah in bacon. That was very good.
01:02:56
Speaker
Some chorizo sausage. It was all too spicy for me.
01:03:03
Speaker
ah How did tacos become a thing here? how did How did that even happen? like For most Norwegians, like tacos are too spicy for them. Yeah, I mean, the taco kudamix is not exactly like the blandest thing in the world.
01:03:17
Speaker
Yeah, but the crazy thing is it's essentially just a polse i lumpa just deconstructed pretty much and you just add some vegetables on top. Like that's what it is.
01:03:27
Speaker
Yeah, i guess depending on whether you use like chicken or pork or or beef, me mince. Yeah, let's be honest. But it's like, hold on, like the main, you know what really threw tacos to the next level here in Norway?
01:03:43
Speaker
Tell me, Karen. Lefse. the the The tortillas. They're like, tortillas, we can get behind that. That's like that's like a lumpa for a pulsa. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Taco shells, like these corn chips, like giant corn chips.
01:04:00
Speaker
No, that's too weird. now But as soon as like they're like, you know, you can just basically wrap it in a you know like a lepsa, people are like, oh, I'm all for it.
01:04:12
Speaker
Is that what Would you say, Justin, that's what's giving you the shits? Is Tarko's giving you the shits? na No, no. I did have another thing, but then I realised I remembered what I was actually super like passionate about that was giving me the shits. Right, to tell.
01:04:29
Speaker
And that was the crazy, unrealistic scene from the new Mission Impossible movie on a submarine.
Community and Supporter Acknowledgments
01:04:40
Speaker
Who does number two Now, I haven't seen this film, so you're going to – don't do any, like, spoilers for me, but – It's a three-hour extravaganza of – Stunts?
01:04:55
Speaker
Of stunts. Yeah, yeah. And I have to admit, like, give kudos where kudos is due. What an amazing freaking human Tom Cruise is.
01:05:06
Speaker
Like, he's nearly 60 or is 60. I don't know how old he think he's 62. Yeah. ah That guy is like hanging off freaking biplanes and like doing crazy shit.
01:05:19
Speaker
it' like This is what's happening. His whole life has been entertainment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that is his whole life is to entertain us people. And he's still making really good films with amazing stunts that no other people are doing right now.
01:05:35
Speaker
No one else is doing that like level of – action stunts and amazing stuff, that especially that he does everything himself, which is insane.
01:05:47
Speaker
I have to say, though, like that submarine scene, I was like, what the fuck? Okay, because you did for those who don't know, Justin used to work on a submarine.
01:05:59
Speaker
Yeah. I served eight years in the Australian Navy on a submarine. And... I know a lot about submarines. I fucking lived on one for many years.
01:06:14
Speaker
ah There's a scene where he has to go down to a stricken submarine, you know, at 180 meters or something like this, a Russian submarine that's, you know, had, yeah.
01:06:30
Speaker
And he somehow gets into this submarine and somehow, well, is able to like equalize the pressure and get inside the submarine, which is like pretty hard to do, actually.
01:06:47
Speaker
Then on top of that, his' his I don't even know where to start on this. ah There were so many things wrong.
01:06:59
Speaker
that So a bit of a spoiler alert, he decides he's going to escape from this stricken submarine where chaos is happening. Like the thing's moving and it's ah he's going to plummet off to this giant sea cliff and he'll be lost forever, right? Right.
01:07:20
Speaker
He decides he's going to, the only way out is to get through the torpedo tube. I'm sorry, news alert. There is no way you can get out of a torpedo tube. Not without someone firing it.
01:07:32
Speaker
There's an interlock. There's a physical interlock. You cannot... get in one side and have the door open. You have to go through a whole sequence because otherwise you could like all of a sudden have two doors open and a billion liters of water come into the submarine and you'll die.
01:07:53
Speaker
ah fact that The fact that he went in one tube yeah and then somehow got out the other side, that's not how does it works. that's not how it work
01:08:06
Speaker
Especially at 180 metres. It's so insane. As soon as he actually equalised to the pressure outside, he'd just have his lungs crushed. Yeah, well, he's got some you special suit on or some shit, you know? Mission Impossible.
01:08:22
Speaker
Yeah, Mission Impossible. so sorry Listen, it's impossible, but he made I tell you, probably was because that shit would not work in reality.
01:08:33
Speaker
that we would We would find a dead fucking Tom Cruise in a submarine at the bottom of the ocean. That's what we'd do. Honestly, i honestly i was ah sitting next to Kristen. I was like, that wouldn't happen.
01:08:49
Speaker
You can't do that. ah Just put a bit of reality in this. ah But I'm sure that probably was the same case as someone who's into planes because like there's a plane scene which is out of control. Yeah.
01:09:07
Speaker
Where he's hanging off this plane and then somehow he's like – it's a great scene for action. But like if you were into planes and knew how the plane worked or whatever, you're like, come on, get off it.
01:09:21
Speaker
you know That's not how it worked. How would you even do that? So, yeah, I think, unfortunately, they have to make it a little unrealistic, but it does give me the shits because I know it's so unrealistic.
01:09:39
Speaker
Well, now that's giving you the shits. Right. But I think we I've been thinking about this. We need to have a new segment. I'm going to introduce yeah new segment this week to the podcast.
01:09:52
Speaker
And I'm going to call it Legends. You can soundbite that and then like replay it. hey you Hey, dude, you're a legend.
01:10:06
Speaker
No, that's bad. I don't know. something Something like that. Hey bro, you're a ledge. ah Legendary. I'll kick it off. My legend of the week is Adrian.
01:10:22
Speaker
Adrian Lumbo, I think I pronounced his last name. ah He is my wife's second cousin's husband. And he ah dropped by ah and stayed with us over the weekend with his ah wife and two kids and shoveled a fuck ton of gravel for me.
01:10:44
Speaker
Legend. I didn't ask him to do it. He just started doing by himself. i was like, fucking hey, you guys can come over more often. I got another building project next year. Should we tee that one up?
01:10:58
Speaker
um So that legend. Adrian, legend. He actually listens to the podcast. Does he? told me Yeah. He told me that he was only at week 14. he's a bit behind.

Okay. Poor guy. Yeah. He'd been degraded to non-legend before you even legify him. i know. Because he's, but to be honest, I think he just did it for for like the notoriety on this podcast. Probably.
01:13:07
Speaker
He could be shouted out as a legend or as someone that's up there, Andy. And that person is Kieran White. Oh, I know that guy. Yeah.

Speaker
Fantastic. but So all those people, thank you so much. Yeah. um I actually don't know how to say thank you and enough, really. It's just amazing that you guys want to support this. And, um you know, I think that goes into my recommendation this week.
01:17:09
Speaker
Yeah. so ah how about you sing the song? Recommendation, recommendation. What is your recommendation?
01:17:22
Speaker
I want to recommend that people go out and just make something for yourself. Don't think about the clicks, the views.
01:17:33
Speaker
Don't think about what other people would like. I think if you're going to play this long game, of creating things for pure enjoyment and you somehow want to make some sort of living off it in the future, that's the only way you can do it.
01:17:54
Speaker
Yeah. Because otherwise you're going to get burnout. Yeah. Because you're doing things you don't want to do. Now, don't get me wrong. There's no rainbows and bloody you know you unicorn journey. Mm-hmm.
01:18:06
Speaker
But I think from my experience this week with you know this guy coming to us with this idea for this ID bus um build as well, like it just shows me that stuff like this will come. and And because I like to build this sort of stuff, the right people will start coming in. yeah Now, people again, like I said, like if this project doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.
01:18:32
Speaker
But it just shows me an example of what can happen. yeah Like what is going to happen if I just stay on my path, the path that I like to do. I like to build these very overcomplicated vehicles.
01:18:48
Speaker
I like to go into the detail. I like this stuff. And eventually it will pay off, hopefully. Yeah. And I believe it. I believe it will pay off. You see that now in in the YouTube growth, that things are going in the right direction.
01:19:03
Speaker
ah You see that you know people are approaching you. You see that people are taking a bit of notice now. So... Just do what you really want to do. If you want to make 3D printed half scale world rally car in your garage, freaking do it.
01:19:20
Speaker
You can ask Justin for advice. Don't use epoxy, for example. Yeah, don't use epoxy. So... and so That is my recommendation.
01:19:31
Speaker
Just go build some stuff. If you like building stuff or just actually wonder what you like, whatever you like, go do the stuff you like me and make sure you tell people about it too. Like you don't have to be like, I'm doing this and you just put a story out and, you know, or make a little Instagram post. I'm like, oh, I'm starting this project and, you know, I'm pretty excited about it.
01:19:54
Speaker
Be creative like because I saw this interesting clip from Brene Brown. just this morning actually as i was scrolling and drinking my coffee and uh and she mentioned that uh untapped creativity in terms of like or what's the word like capped creativity if you've got something burning in you to create that you don't do it can metabolize met met metabolize not metabolize but metaspolize another ah fucking i can't pronounce it um
01:20:28
Speaker
into basically emotion. So if you, and matttas mael I can't do it Anyway, my point was basically if you if you put a cap on that creative thing that you have, whatever that is for you, um it can it can make you depressed.
01:20:50
Speaker
It can make you angry. It can make you frustrated unnaturally. you know So if you're easily agitated, if you're feeling depressed without really feeling but feeling like you have a reason for it, maybe maybe ah you just need to get out and do some creative stuff.
01:21:09
Speaker
So bear's ah try that before talking to your doctor. But if that doesn't work, talk to your doctor. um Yeah. My recommendation actually, completely off a serious note, is eight out of ten Cats does countdown.
01:21:26
Speaker
What? It's one my favorite things to watch on YouTube. it's Okay, say it again. Eight out of ten cats does Countdown.
01:21:39
Speaker
Okay. Have you ever watched this show, Justin? No. Oh, it's so good. ah it's So basically, so it's this classic show called Countdown, which is from the UK.
01:21:51
Speaker
Okay. Which is basically a game show where it's like Scrabble. where you have to like make words from letters. mix Is this with Jimmy Carr? Yeah, with Jimmy Carr. they do have a that This is this version with Jimmy Carr. And then they have another one with another part of the game in numbers. But then basically they get the the cast from 8 Out of 10 Cats, and which is show about statistics and things like that in in the UK.
01:22:18
Speaker
And they take the same cast and then they do the put the same cast on Countdown and get them to do all the things. And it's just... comedic joy to do behold.
01:22:30
Speaker
I thoroughly enjoy if you just want to laugh your tits off for like a good 20 minutes, like watch one of these highlight rolls. It's fantastic. Just love it. How does one laugh his tits off?
01:22:46
Speaker
ah They jiggle enough that they just fall off. Depending if you have man tits or not. Yeah, yeah, woman tits. yeah there might be women listening to the podcast.
Self-Reflection and Personal Growth
01:22:58
Speaker
I doubt this. so ah The only women are listening is pretty much my wife. just for them mr ah Just to hear this hear a slagger off in the beginning of this episode.
01:23:14
Speaker
um I'll be in the doghouse this week. Pick your game up, Kristen. What is? oh Even I managed to pick my game up this week and ah go up a tier. and i would In that case, people, I think we'll leave it there.
01:23:35
Speaker
won't slander my wife anymore.
01:23:39
Speaker
She is amazing and does support me in many other ways. So thank you so much, everyone, for listening. we will catch you next week. And yeah, thanks for listening again. Cheers, everyone.
