Speaker: This is the Garage Avenger Podcast.
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. And I'm Kieran, the second ugliest twin trying to turn my garage brewed beers into a world-renowned brewery.
Speaker: Were you inciting that I was ugly as well? In fact, um you're this I'm the second ugliest, so you're the ugliest. That's not what I wrote in the script, Karen. You can't change it ah Well, if you're going to try and pull the wool over my eyes all the then I'm going to do whatever the heck I want. Sorry about that.
Speaker: We are twin brothers ah with a passion for creating the wild unexpected and we try every week to take you through a ride through what happens every week in our garages or places of employment or sure yeah what do you want to call it? I don't know.
Speaker: Gardens, houses, yeah things in our lives that sometimes revolve around the garage. ah But ah one thing we do need to get straight into, Kieran. Oh.
Speaker: Is this?
Speaker: Oh, what is the malt liquor? What gets you drunk or quicker? What comes in bottles or in cans? Beer! Can't get enough of it. Beer! How we really love it. Beer! Makes me think I'm a man. could kiss and hug it. Beer! I'd rather chug it. Beer! my belly out to here.
Speaker: could not refuse a beer. Beer! could really use a beer. Beer! Beer! Beer! Beer
Speaker: That does not look like beer, Kieran. It is not beer. This is a Haps 2022 Pinoy from Mug River. Nice cross promotion, bro.
Speaker: If only I had a drinks company. e i just smell the bouquet of ripe plums and with a hint of oak.
Speaker: It's quite delicious. ah thought I don't know, I'm trying to be a wanker, wino. Like you're normally a wanker, Garen. So I'm trying be wanker, why no? There's a difference.
Speaker: Yeah, so this is a Pinoy. This is one obviously one of the ones that I'm importing. um i had an open bottle, so I decided to polish it off before it goes bad. So it's quite an enjoyable drop.
Speaker: It should be since you brought it into the country. Well, yeah, one would hope so. What are you drinking, Justin? Oh, you don't want Look at this.
Speaker: is is ah co Grill Kongen? Yeah. Oh, for fuck's sake. Norwegian Beer Marketing. I saw... I saw this and went, what the fuck?
Speaker: I guarantee you it's just a fucking pilsner, right? I guarantee. i don't and You don't even know. It can't really say. it doesn't really say. This is like You can just drop the pimp and it's going to fucking explode everywhere on you. it's
Speaker: But I had a i went up to the cabin this week for Easter. The And yeah I had a couple of beers up there.
Speaker: i will give you my mind blown ah with what happened up there. Okay. um This beer we also had up there, but not this specific one.
Speaker: And it was absolute rubbish. what Who's it from? I don't see the...
Speaker: Yota. Yota. Yota. Yeah, okay. Yota. Why do you renounce that? I don't know. I'll look at the text on that thing. It's so bad, right?
Speaker: And I just, I haven't tried it. So this is what, but the other thing I want to mention here, Kieran, is yeah we should start giving these actual review numbers.
Speaker: Okay. Like a, oh my God. The car's fucking popping over the place. she just He just dropped it, you idiot. He's so sticky now.
Speaker: ah um No, I think we should give him like a, I don't in and Untapped, it's a out of five, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: So I think we should keep along those lines. Okay, sure. and So, i i mean, I just drank the foam from this and it tastes like, oh, so I don't have high hopes.
Speaker: Oh, this looks horribly bad. um But, okay, so why don't we start with your wine, Kieran? Let's give you an unbiased rating. What am total unbiased rating?
Speaker: um You know what? like this like Red wines, I'm not an expert, if I'm honest. um But for me, this is a lovely everyday type Pinoy, like yeah red wine. and So I'm going to give it a four out of five.
Speaker: Four out of five, that's... I'm not going to be like, it's a five out of five, best wine ever. That would be biased, but I'm going be a four out of five. I would have given it know at least a four and a half, Kieran.
Speaker: um you're right well You know what? Fuchsia and ah the Chateaubanque, they can get a four and a half. Nice. Well, to be honest, I've had a slurp of this thing.
Speaker: Yep. And... Give us a gander. Have you got it a glass? No, I didn't bring a glass today. That was disorganized. But it's it tastes absolutely like garbage.
Speaker: I mean, can you describe it what it is? I think it's an attempt at a pilsner, but it's a very like, ah i guess it's, I would call it malt for it, but I'm probably wrong.
Speaker: Right. it's It's got this weird like aftertaste, like this like clammy in your mouth aftertaste. Yeah, okay. And I just think, what is this? No butter or popcorn-y flavor or like, does feel fatty on the tongue?
Speaker: Yeah, it feels fatty on the tongue. Yeah, okay. There we go. DMS.
Speaker: DMS. um What's DMS to the people who don't know? and theto model so far I can't pronounce it properly. ah It's the it's a basically um a byproduct of from ah from the malt.
Speaker: And if you don't boil your wort long enough, if your and if your if your boil isn't vigorous enough, ah you will maintain DMS in your beer and it will give it that flavor and that mouthfeel.
Speaker: There you go. If this brewery is listening somehow, for some reason, in Stavanger, they go based, apparently. They need to sort their shit out. So it's horribly bad.
Speaker: ah I'm going to give this beer, honestly. I can't even give it a one. i have to give half, half. Brutal. I have to give it a half.
Speaker: I mean, yeah I should give it just a half because of the marketing, grillkongen. Like, that should be just, like, I should just thrown it in the bin instantly just by looking at the... Yeah, but the irony of the situation is they will sell fucktons because the way Norwegians work in summer, like, oh, I'm having a barbecue, grillkongen.
Speaker: know? it will sell it will sell that's the crazy thing about it so yeah that's uh that's Norwegian beer market for you anyway on with the day what you been doing Justin I've I've heard some rumorings around the place tell us what's been going on some rumorings yeah well what have you heard I don't want to hear gossip yeah Something about a new carburetor and some cabin antics.
Speaker: So go on, tell the people. Well, i you may have realized that I did a podcast last week that you were not involved in. Yeah, I did.
Speaker: I was going to mention that.
Speaker: I'm going to just say for the record...
Speaker: The Easter Bunny is a bitch. Fucking king hit me like a motherfucker. ah Went down like a town, straight behind the back of the head. What a dirtbag move, fucking Easter Bunny. I reckon.
Speaker: Yep. So he got his comeuppance. Well, apparently you did. i have to say thank you to Kenny because ah I was really rough at interviewing. Like I lost my touch, I think.
Speaker: with regards to interviewing people. um I mean, not the worst podcast ever done, but like not great either. And my apologies to those who listen to it as an interview podcast.
Speaker: ah Because I think I know, or actually I know I can do a much better interview And his internet wasn't dropping out every five seconds either. so you know, I'm like, yeah.
Speaker: um So, yeah, I mean, I thoroughly enjoy talking. We're so alike. It's so crazy, ah which is super nice.
Speaker: It's nice to meet a like-minded person. It's also really nice to meet somebody who has like ah full support from their their partner in what they're doing, which is fantastic.
Speaker: So, yeah, thanks, Kenny, for coming on the show. ah Those who didn't listen to it, ah Kenny's an awesome dude building mad machines, and he's definitely worth checking out.
Speaker: So he has a channel called Patton or Payton, whatever we want to say. eighteen Machine. Yeah. Well, it's Patton. No, it's always Patton. He says it's Patton. Yeah, there you go. Patton machines, yeah.
Speaker: Patton machines. So ah go check him out. Now, ah update on the World Rally car. Brakes. Brakes. I can't remember what I said to Kenny last week.
Speaker: as isn't umm I can't remember. I think I said that I'd worked out that it was a problem. So bit the bullet. I went and splashed out on two brand new master cylinders. i was It was so painful for me to do it.
Speaker: What's the damage on a master cylinder, just so the people could know here? Because I don't know either. 6,000 crowns. What? Couldn't you use fucking machine something for that price?
Speaker: To be honest, I looked into it. I looked into getting like the cheap alternatives. But the problem is... the piston is so big in those master cylinders. It's a 22 millimeter piston.
Speaker: And most like foot brake or like go-kart type brake systems are actually running like a 15 millimeter piston.
Speaker: Can't you just fucking swap them out with something No, because that's another thing. So I use ChatTTP. Right. to Okay, we all know ChatTTP is not right on the money.
Speaker: But I gave it a bunch of criteria. So I asked it, okay, so I'm looking to reduce the size of the master cylinder in my go-kart. It weighs so-and-so much in the weight. I weigh so-and-so much.
Speaker: a What's its normal braking distance with regards to the size of normal brakes that it has, right? And it talked about it. And then found some results somewhere and came back and said that 100 kilometers an hour. He will die. and No, it was going to break.
Speaker: can't remember what distance it said. Is it 70? No, it wasn't so much. 17, I think it said. 17 meters to from 100 kilometers an hour to stop.
Speaker: Now, how accurate these numbers are, I don't know. But then i put in into it, right, I'm going to change the master cylinder to a smaller master cylinder, which means less brake pressure so on the brakes.
Speaker: And it said there was 22 meters difference in stopping distance. And I thought, if I'm going to build this thing with 3D printing and like the thousands of hours. You're going to fucking crash it.
Speaker: right And then I crash it because it it doesn't stop properly. Like that wasn't worth saving 6,000 crowns. Now, can I just ask another question? Could you not like drawn up the cylinder on – on Fusion and then sent it to PCBWay?
Speaker: Yes, but that probably would have cost me just as much, if not more. Because it's not just the cylinder. You don't like you start you can't just change. It's not the piston I'm talking about. It's the cylinder. It's the bore. Okay. Yeah, yeah. That was where the problem was. So I had to change it. Now, I could just change the – you can buy the bore separately. Okay.
Speaker: But then you have to rely on you assembling it correctly, you making sure everything's aligned properly, the used parts that you've taken from the old assembly onto the new assembly working as it should.
Speaker: So I just thought, you know what? there's There's literally, if I buy just the... the cylinder, the board part, it was going to cost me 3,000 crowns. Like why would I just spend another 3,000 and have two fully functioning brand new, if there's something wrong with it, I can send them back.
Speaker: you Right? Yeah. So whereas if I bought it separate parts, then if it didn't work, it was my fault again and I'd have to spend more money. yeah I was like, ah.
Speaker: So i bit the bullet. ah In really amazing news, oh the car started being printed this week.
Speaker: Sweet. Dude, it's insane though, because Thomas has sent me a message and he sends me this picture and it's like the body in like Like cut up in squares, right? How it's going to print it.
Speaker: Yeah. And then it says, total ah total print time, 2,024 hours. Jesus.
Speaker: And then he says, i my big print is not working. I can't get it to work. So I'm printing it on my bamboo lab. Yeah. What?
Speaker: ah So it's like half the size. So each part is now half the sizes of what it could have been. Yeah. I think you need to send this shit old mate in Sweden and get him on his 3D printer that he 3D printed a chair with.
Speaker: Oh, he sold that bad boy. Oh. I know. Like, honestly, what a dick move. Like, you'd think you'd get this giant printer and then, you'd like, you know you've got some friends that might want to use it. what a dick. And you'd just go and sell it. like Can't trust a Swede, I tell you.
Speaker: You can't, can you? And then he goes and buys the brand new Bamboo Lab fangled dangle machine. yeah he's all like hurdy-gurdy-gurdy-gurdy. Yep.
Speaker: ah yeah So yeah printing has started and to be honest, it's kind of exciting. like yeah yeah He's been sending me some pictures like the rear wing, kind of like half assembled, because he's kind of fitting things together, making sure everything's working.
Speaker: e ah That's really cool. He sent me a bunch of files that I have to print, such as like ah emblems and door handles and stuff like that, so that I can do that stuff on my printer.
Speaker: um So, yeah, I mean, there's a whole bunch of stuff. Hold a second, Justin. just did these numbers here. so Did you say 2,024 hours? Yeah. That's 84 days.
Speaker: I know.
Speaker: you're like, I wonder what I'm going to do. How many projects can you fit in 84 Justin? Yeah. One. Yeah, not even according to my my work ethic. That's not my work ethic, my overcomplication of things.
Speaker: Yeah, master cylinders and the like. Yeah, and it is a bit painful, but that does bring me on to the bike. So the bike's coming along. um Welded to the rear axle, had some issues with alignment and things and line making. There's so many small little things on these projects that no one understands until you're in the thick of it.
Speaker: And they probably won't understand either when they're watching the video. But there's just small stuff. Like how do you ah like align sprockets with the engine when you don't have everything in place?
Speaker: Like double checking measurements and like you welded this dodgy hand truck together to make this frame and it's straight, but it's not 100% straight, if you know what i mean. So you have some discrepancy in there and like you don't,
Speaker: It's so difficult. You can't just go, oh yeah, I'll just cut it here. Because then you realize, oh crap, that was a bad decision. ah Because I need the space for this part to fit into there.
Speaker: yeah wait I've never built a motorcycle before. i need to be kind to myself. Is this thing even going to run? What do you mean is it going to run? I mean i guess it's got two wheels.
Speaker: just I mean, ah how complicated is a motorcycle to fabric like actually fabricate from scratch? Well, a lot easier than the code cart.
Speaker: Yeah, I guess so. It's true. You don't have to think of the same issues with... wheel alignment and like turning and stuff and that. Yeah. So I, in that way, i feel like this is really fun, ah but it is taking its time again, like as it always seems to do with my projects. Yeah. like I just see it and I think, oh, it's going to be done lickety split. Like, I still don't learn. I don't i don't know what's wrong with me. Nick minute.
Speaker: I don't know what's wrong with me. But it does look really cool. The frame is super low. I put some, like, supports in there now ah because I was worried that the frame was going to just bend because it is super thin tubing from this, you know, hand truck.
Speaker: It was designed to carry a big, heavy-ass boxes, though. Yeah, but it's not is the the strength is not in the way that I've designed the frame, if you understand my meaning.
Speaker: So... Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it. It's going to look pretty boss, I think. I'm dreaming about like how to do the exhaust now as well. i like spoke with Frederick this week. I'm like, yeah, we're going to do some stainless for sure, right? And he's like, yeah, let's do some stainless. So we both kind of get we're both really pumped about it.
Speaker: Cool. We're thinking, oh, I'm thinking double, like, dual exhaust, except it's only one piston, right? So you have to split it at some point.
Speaker: hey Yeah. And then it comes out both sides, and it has, like, kind of these, like, you know those side pipes on a car, how they kind of, like, ah come out just in front of the back wheels?
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's the kind of style I want to go for. Okay. It comes out just in front of the back wheel. Yeah, okay. Yeah, and they like but the pipe is much bigger than it should be.
Speaker: so Like the the exhaust is so tiny from like a 125 engine, right? Yeah. You don't really need it very big. But like I want my pipes to be like an inch and a half sort of size, you know, like proper decent size. Just the perfect size burn yourself on. Yeah, exactly. ah So, yeah, that's ah that's what's been going on the garage. But like I mentioned before, we have been up at the cabin.
Speaker: Yep. Now it's my mother-in-law's cabin. We went up there with another family. And and to be honest, it was harder than I thought it was going to be.
Speaker: o The dynamic of the family? Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, look, I've been up there before um with the same family, except the the husband wasn't has never been with us So he came this time and like I felt like, i oh, yeah yeah, we should do stuff. But he's not that type of guy that just does stuff, if you know what I mean. Yeah. ah Very lovely guy. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker: ah But I very much felt like the the outcast... You know, like the weird Australian guy that just doesn't understand Norway and that type of thing, right? you know like In what way?
Speaker: so you know, just in general conversation. we're like Think about this. We're nine people and two dogs in this tiny little cabin. Yeah. And there starts conversation and then they start talking about something about, you know, when they grew up or did this or did that, right?
Speaker: And you want you want to contribute to a conversation, but you've only got your own experiences, which are not from Norway, of course, right? Hmm. You know, we grew up in Australia, we had a different upbringing.
Speaker: So you kind of bring, you you want to get involved in the conversation. So you bring up something that, you know, maybe you experienced growing up, and they look at you like, and we can't relate to that, shut the fuck up. So ah yeah so i Of course, that's not what they said, but that's the way I felt. and i was like, ah, fuck this. like i just need, this is chaos with four kids yelling and screaming, playing games inside and so on.
Speaker: like ah I'm going to go outside. so I got like a a carving knife, you know like ah they call in Norwegian, a spiekkniev. and I started like making this, making like speaking ah actually a knife.
Speaker: yeah ah then Of course, my creativity... I get pretty excited about what I'm doing. So I decided I was going to make this big bow hunting knife. Like, that's not a knife. This is a knife.
Speaker: And I spent I don't know how many hours on that. like Easily probably 12 hours, I reckon, during the during the time that I was up at the And wonder why you don't fit in, Justin. Okay.
Speaker: 12 hours fucking carving a knife out of knife. Looking like a complete psychopath. i fuck Just covered in wood shavings, making a giant bowie bow knife out of wood. Out of wood, yeah.
Speaker: Yeah. And so i had a lot of fun actually doing that because as much as that like sounds like I was a loner, what that actually did was like got the kids out and then encouraged them to also try and make things.
Speaker: So at one point, you know we were all the kids were outside carving things with their knives. Yeah. yeah And it was super good.
Speaker: like some of Like I was inspiring them to try to do something more than just, ah you know, what most kids do is just take the bark off a twig and then sharpen it at the end and then they just poke each other, right? Isn't that why it's called a speaky knife? Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Speaker: So but I feel like that was a good thing. you know I inspired them. And then they started trying to copy what I was doing, right? Making a giant knife out of wood. Yeah. I was like, Henry's like, what do you think, Dad? like, yeah, it's great. It fucking sucks.
Speaker: I was just about to think of him making knives and like someone's like, bono, bono.
Speaker: said I was thinking like, what are the other parents thinking right now? you know yeah Yeah, they've all got Barnabana on speed dial. Yeah, like, he didn't grow up here. we need to call Barnabana promptly.
Speaker: For those who are not Norwegian natives, Barnabana is like the child protective services here. Yeah. um But I also made katana. yeah yeah I found a long bowed piece of wood with not so many knots in it. i was like, yeah, yeah, that'll work.
Speaker: So I just started like carving it. and like but're talking We're not talking about like like a rough-shaped katana. but I'm talking katana that's like super thin, the whole blade all the way up, like a hilt and a carved handle with a pattern in it.
Speaker: course Of course. course. I was very proud of myself, as you can hear. And then like... who why have we travelled up to this cabin with this fucking psycho? It's true, Kieran. I never thought about it like that, but you're probably right.
Speaker: No wonder that he didn't want to talk with me. He's making a fucking sword. ah i am i am a weirdo, that's for sure.
Speaker: ah Because I also decided that, like, the kid so normally we go up there at Easter time, there's snow, and I normally make this... huge bobsled track.
Speaker: um So I usually start from the top of the mountain and I like dig down the snow and I make like a bobsled track that has like big bank turns, tunnels, all sorts of stuff all the way down the hill.
Speaker: And the, and, it's gotten more epic every single year. And so I was looking forward to that. But then of course we went there up there to test the, the snowmobile.
Speaker: Yeah. And there was very little snow then just enough for us to test basically. Uh, and then when we got up there now, it was no absolutely yeah bone dry.
Speaker: So, limit dam is here which is super nice by the way. loving this. Um, So I decided instead of making bobsled track, which I obviously couldn't make, i was going to I was going to do something that I also liked as a kid and we never really actually properly did.
Speaker: Not in the way i did it up in the cabin. No. What did you do? tell What did you do, Justin? Tell them what you did. Bugger hole. not No. No.
Speaker: I made a treehouse, like a proper treehouse. And I would say like, this was such a rewarding experience, not only because of my, like it gave breakaway from my mother-in-law and the others that were inside the cabin talking Norwegian shit.
Speaker: ah But i would it also gave me the opportunity to be super creative, right? And use the materials I had around me. to create this idea that I was building in my head as as I was building it.
Speaker: And the kids were super on board, right? so they wanted as much as me. They just needed to see it, if you know what I mean. like So I needed to start building it. So I just asked them, like can you chop these trees down in the in the local area, like chop these things, tack branches off, clip things off. And then I started to lay the ah floor down.
Speaker: Like make the structure and the frame for the floor to sit on and things like that. And then all of a sudden they like, they saw it and then they were all into it. and Like, oh, we need to make a roof. And I was like, all right, we'll make a roof.
Speaker: And then I sort of said like, it's cool with a roof, but what if we had walls and windows and doors? Hmm. And so they're like, can we make them? I'm like, yeah, let's go. So i basically used like upright, what
Speaker: what do you call it? like two Branches. Branches. Branches. That's the word I was looking for. Upright branches.
Speaker: And then i i you know in the wall, I had like five or six of those. And then I would use all the all the like small twiggy branches we cut off.
Speaker: to make those, like we used to like weave in and out of those branches as a wall. So it became sort of kind of thatched, if you know what mean. It wasn't the same as thatching, but you get my drift. We get the drift.
Speaker: Yeah. yeah So it was so fun. And like the great thing about it was I learned that Emma is really like me.
Speaker: She loved it. She loved the idea of building something and like making sure you completed it and the way you wanted it to be, like the way you see it in your brain and making that happen.
Speaker: It gave me so much joy building this thing with her. and i saw my son, Henry, like didn't give a flying...
Speaker: he's like, are we done here, dad? ah So like on the last day, I actually decided I was going to make a swing. So that would at least keep Henry like involved in the build or involved in the projects. Right.
Speaker: And they just had a bulb on this swing that I made, which I, I just found like a, an old, um, uh, like tie down strap for, for the car.
Speaker: And I just threw it over a branch and, tied it up and made a seat and everything and they were just having a ball. But it was, I highly recommend people go out and build something like that with their kids. Like I think I used, I think I used probably 20 or 30 nails, like these big nails.
Speaker: and that And I used, for tools, I used a hammer and a saw. That was it. Nothing more. Yeah, right. And it turned out so great. And that thing will be there. That's another thing.
Speaker: That thing will be there for until some snotty little shit kid decides to ruin it. Yeah. Do you know what mean? Because we built it right near the car park where a lot of families will park their cars and things and then they'll either in the winter they'll take the snowmobiles like out to their cabins or they'll take their ATVs.
Speaker: there they got so no there's a lot of There'll be a lot of kids around. and it it made me feel pretty good that I could actually build this thing that other kids would you know get out of the car after they've been driving for an hour or two to get to this cabin. right and Then all of a sudden, they're like, whoa, look at that.
Speaker: and Like a tree house two meters up in the air with a swing and, you know, thatched walls and a window and a door and you all this and stuff. Like it's it's pretty cool.
Speaker: So um it made me just feel like we don't see that stuff anymore. No, exactly. not Not in its digital age. And I saw this quiet nod of approval from all the like at least the older generation.
Speaker: like You saw them drive past. they've They've been watching us for days now i'm building this thing, right? And and you know you saw them just drive past and they would just me do that little like head nod type of thing. Like, nice. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, good. Nice. It's good to see someone's out there doing something. because no one no You don't see kids building stuff like that anymore. No, no, it's a lost art.
Speaker: Yeah. They just love their phones. Yeah, it's so gross. So it's been it was always a good cabin trip.
Speaker: Yeah, in that regard it was. ah But I mean, it felt like it did take its toll. Again, like I said, I did feel like a bit of an outcast. And I find it really hard to be like just normal and like talk about the weather and, you know,
Speaker: what's on the news or you know something milk prices like that's just the stuff they're talking about and i'm like oh shut the fuck up i don't care i know exactly what you mean and know exactly what you mean oh yeah well how's that grill beer washing down ahs horrible Oh,
Speaker: Seriously? Bad. Yeah. yeah I'll tell you what's also been bad, Karen. is the I've been struggling a little bit on kind of how did how to get my audience sort of
Speaker: attached to my content. So a little bit of like what we talked about just now with the treehouse, you know, I started thinking like, oh, you know, like wouldn't it be fun to build a treehouse in my local area as well? Like that kids and things, like you're doing something for the community.
Speaker: um It's a little bit also like, um, When I made the snow maze out on the football pitch at school, you know, like ah i built that and it was really like, it was not for me.
Speaker: It was for the kids and for the school and everyone to use. And it was really good. Let's be honest though, Justin, it was still for you. Yeah. like You have the joy of building it, yeah? Yeah, but that's what – no one else seems to get joy out of building things, right? no like And I was willing to get have that joy doing that and in the added benefit, you know spread that joy to kids to play in ah in a snow maze that they've never experienced before, right? I think that's something that –
Speaker: you don't really see in the community, at least not in my community here. No, yeah. So I did start thinking about that, like, oh, what if I build a tree house? And I made a YouTube video about it. And then I kind of show that I'm like contributing to my community and stuff. But yeah, I didn't know. i ah kind of talked to you a little bit last night about it. And I wasn't sure where to go with it and how to how to sort of approach it.
Speaker: I mean, did you have any other thoughts with regards to that after we spoke? No, I mean, your your main issue was just trying to find that like authentic way to connect or that people would connect with the work that you're doing, the things you're doing, yeah? Yeah.
Speaker: Because I was thinking about this, like what a motorcycle, only a few people can enjoy a motorcycle, right? Like physically, like my friends, maybe that sort of thing. But like building a tree house is helping like a lot of people can experience that.
Speaker: yeah And so I started thinking about like that, but I wasn't sure how to, I don't want to go from my niche. I like building motorized things or bikes or, you know, things that go.
Speaker: yeah You know, like I changed the carburetor on my go-kart today. And holy shit, it fucking rips now. It's so much faster.
Speaker: That's so crazy. It's so much faster. It's so much fun. But like, that's the thing, right? It's just that like, it's it's one of those challenges where you find you've got like this niche And it's finding the way to communicate what's important to the people that are into that niche.
Speaker: And that's the challenge, like, because you want, ah you want the loyalty, if you will, ah the excitement of people that are like behind what you're doing and eager to see what you're doing next and want to support it and, and get behind it, you know?
Speaker: and The sad truth of our consumer society is a vast majority of us are not really willing to do that unless there's something in it for us.
Speaker: um But that's not to say it can't happen. And there are obviously exceptions out there. um so was I gave you the example yesterday, Karen, where I was sort of saying that, you know, for example, if I was to like If I was to – I've talked about this guy, the Maxwell Hussey Motorcycles. Yeah, this ah really like crazy, unique, amazingly craft motorcycles, yeah? Yeah. So if you were to buy a T-shirt from him yeah and you wore that and someone knew what that brand was, like you instantly would get along with that guy, right? You'd be like, –
Speaker: You know, hu you know your nice t-shirt, bro. You know, like that type of thing. You look Metallica too. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, right. Yeah. And I think that's what I feel like is missing a little bit in my content. Now, it could be just time to build that brand awareness yeah ah that i'm I'm just impatient for it.
Speaker: But I also know like he has that notoriety in what he does because he's making absolutely stunning, very detailed
Speaker: machines that like people people really – can enjoy. I'm kind of just slapping a hand truck together and welding it into a toy.
Speaker: you know what mean? Like it's a little different. has its own charm too, right? And, you know, the there's a proverb that comes to mind. um And that proverb is, see a man who is diligent at his work and he will stand before kings.
Speaker: The emphasis there is that you do something – well enough for long enough, people of notity notoriety will we find you.
Speaker: And i think that's the hardest bit of this game, if you will, and is it that it takes time and you've got to be willing to stay in the fight whilst it takes the time to build it.
Speaker: Yeah, and and yeah again, like I do projects that are not exactly super duper easy. you know Or cheap, for that matter. Yeah, or cheap. Breaks.
Speaker: So, I mean, I am inspired to, like we talked, me and Kenny talked about Grindhunt Plumbing Co., their their YouTube channel. you know They've grown from essentially what I and myself and Kenny are doing now to like these...
Speaker: you know, crazy machines that are stunningly beautiful and very, like, very well made. But they started making shitty things in the beginning.
Speaker: And so, you know, perhaps I'm just being impatient. Maybe I just need to keep on building and then I'll get to that stage where people like, sporting a Garage Revenge or a T-shirt and they're like, what?
Speaker: like yeah, Garage Avenger or something. I don't know. I don't know how people would talk, but you know, like some, something there. think it's like, ah what they say? Patience is, patience patience is not divined by how long you wait, but what you do while you wait.
Speaker: Yeah. so I seem to be just winching complaining.
Speaker: I mean, like I told you, like I mean, you'll probably be standing in the shower like wait in a week and it'll just come to you. Something will click. Yeah. So I'm a big believer in that.
Speaker: So there you Talk about believing, Kieran. I believe I can fly. What? What have you been up to?
Speaker: I've been building a gun, Justin. Okay. A hop gun. hop gun? Yeah, a hop gun. Oh, okay. Well... What's a hop gun?
Speaker: um Okay, so a hop gun is kind of like an external infuser, I guess you would call it. ah The basic premise you have...
Speaker: um beer that comes in one end and then some stuff hops. In this case, um it's toasted coconut that I'm going to be using. And then like ah basically kind of like a so ah rough filter to stop all that stuff from going back into the tank.
Speaker: and So you can circulate the beer through the hop gun, through the the vessel and back into the tank with the use of a pump.
Speaker: And that ah then you can kind of, for in this case, what I'm going to be doing with it is going to be, I'm going to be brewing ah hopefully by the week, end this week.
Speaker: I'll have a brewing tank if all goes well. And then I'm going to need to infuse this beer with toasted coconut. So I'm ah building this ah this hop gun. And I looked into this, like i looked in, you can actually buy these kind of vessel systems.
Speaker: It's literally called the hop gun or something, a rocket I think is the most popular one for home brewer kind of things. and Hop rocket sounds so good.
Speaker: And it's just like a basically like a stainless steel vessel with a like a port inside and then a port out of the top. um The one thing, a nice thing about those units is that it's got the the port inside is done ah in
Speaker: do they call it? Transingential angle so that it creates a whirlpool inside the vessel so you get better infusion.
Speaker: um The problem I have is is that, fuck those things are so goddamn expensive. yeah just I'm just like, can't buy one, but like,
Speaker: I was looking at this. and know You can buy like a cheap like Chinese one. Actually, has an Australian brand called Kegland, but it's all made in China. And um you can buy one of those and it's like, what is that, 1,500 crowns or something like that for this Kegland one. the The hop rocket made from by Blickman Engineering, and that's like...
Speaker: like a two and a half grand or something. how What size is this thing, Kieran? It's tiny too. it's not it's It's probably about, I don't know, probably holds about a liter, liter and a half, nothing more.
Speaker: It's a tiny vessel. And inside, is it what is It's stainless steel with some mesh. that's It's not really complicated at all. You must be able to take it like the lid on and off it, right, to put the hops in and things like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's like a screw, like ah like a kind of like a clamp system that holds the bottom of it together.
Speaker: Oh, like that. Hmm. And so, but basically I just realized, you know what? I have a bunch of different parts for the Brutals tanks and I can just basically put one together from what I have.
Speaker: And buy a few other bits and pieces and cost me maybe 1200 crowns in the additional pieces that I need to buy. ah But that being said, I would have had to buy those pieces plus the 1,500 crown cheap thing on top of it to do the same thing.
Speaker: So i'm just like save myself an extra 1,500 crowns by doing it this way. That sounds so much better than buying 6,000 kroner brakes. Yeah. So the nice thing about this kind of system is I'm going to test it with a coconut. But like obviously you can put anything in it.
Speaker: You know, you can infuse anything. So as long as it doesn't block the filter ah that's inside it, and so you've got to have enough for like the the pieces or whatever it it's got be big enough that doesn't block the filter um or then slip through it is the other side of it. um You could put hops, obviously. That's what it's designed for.
Speaker: and And there are breweries that do this like in big tanks. They basically pump – hops into tanks for dry hopping when they're really big like that. And then the other one is the...
Speaker: the You can do, like, I mean, I do toasted coconut. I can do cocoa nibs. I can do fucking you name it. Herbs, spices, the whole deal.
Speaker: So it really starts to open up the possibilities of different things for testing and getting some really unique flavors into the beer. So I think it's cool.
Speaker: It's exciting. It's kind of fun. Cool. You should just call yours instead of a hop cannon or a whatever. was a hop rocket. Yeah. You should call it the hopinator. I'm sure that probably exists. I'm sure.
Speaker: so that's what you should call yours. Like, oh, I'm just going to like lock in the hopinator. So, yeah. So the one one thing mine lacks is this trans watercorp fucking...
Speaker: ah This kind of whirlpool effect, basically I can't find plate that attaches to the system that will be able to create that effect, unfortunately.
Speaker: 3D printing, Kieran. This is true. ah This is true. You could print a little nozzle that goes inside the tank and directs the flow of beer in a whirlpool angle.
Speaker: that's Well, because I was actually looking at something that I could try and attach in there that would do that. So it's definitely a possibility. So that's true. That is very true.
Speaker: So I do also, I might have an idea up my sleeve already. and There is a part I have, which is a silicon ah dip tube, or not dip tube, a silicon racking arm, which is...
Speaker: That does. dip tube and a racking arm. Oh, come on. This beer talk. Yeah, sure. Get your bulldog out.
Speaker: That's the tube you use to fill barrels with. There you go. Just bit of beer knowledge for the people today. So anyway, yeah, so that that's been a lot of focus on this last couple of days, looking at building my hop gun and how it's going to work.
Speaker: And then I've been thinking about this other idea I've had of late, which is what I'm going to be doing with the beers and taking taking the concept art of what I'm doing to another level.
Speaker: Let's go. Tell me all about it, Kieran. So i came like I'm a big fan of a band called Silent Planet, if you've heard of them. have not.
Speaker: Anyway, the the singer in the band, Garrett Russell, is
Speaker: is ah fantastically well-read poet of of types. And even though it's metalcore, you know, with like screaming and all the rest, right?
Speaker: ah deeply, deeply profound, interesting ah metaphoric language that he uses in in that. And there's one particular song that I really like that's kind of taken me and I'm thinking that would just be a really cool idea to take the verses from that Essentially that song it's basically a poet, ah like a poem,
Speaker: um and break that poem into different beers. So you break like each stanza of the poem into a different beer.
Speaker: There's a a line in this ah in the song that says, shall we call this art... um Sorry, what was it going? Shall we call this art...
Speaker: the
Speaker: ah far Far out, i forgotten what the lyric is. You're on the computer, Kieran, look it up. um Anyway, but that there's so that that was one of the first things I'm thinking of. ah But m the there's other lines, especially more powerful lines in the song.
Speaker: It's called Depths. ah Depths 3, there's actually three different the versions of the same song, which has its own interesting history behind it. A lot of um cool kind of concepts and ideas.
Speaker: But um the idea is just to bring each beer has different words or verses that make up a passage of the poem when you put them all together.
Speaker: So, for example, a series of like 12 different beers, all called different things, all with similar artworks. You can see that somehow linked together, but then you get, you know, example, you get a beer that's called Am a beer that's called The Wind and a beer that's called The Bee and then a beer that's called Still An opiate, and that's called The Depths and then another beer called The Immeasurable Will.
Speaker: And that's like part of the whole poem, right? So it's like, I just thought that was a really cool concept to bring to be that it just, I don't know, I don't feel has really been done.
Speaker: and I want to kind of see where I can take the artwork for this kind of concept as well. And it's just like a thing where I don't have to think about you know, a new name. I could just, like, ah like i could essentially brew whatever fuck I want and then just put it into that can with that label.
Speaker: And it's part of a series, a part of an artwork that just works together as a whole. It tells a story, tells a really cool story. And that's what I what i really um kind of it gets me excited about and the next products if i if I take it in that direction.
Speaker: So... and i One, i don't think anyone's doing anything like that. That's cool. But my I just laugh about like most people like picking up a...
Speaker: yeah I will. I know, I know. they They're like, is this a beer? It looks cool the can. Like, chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck.
Speaker: No, ah no, and i' um the vast majority will not get it. but that that's But you know what? That's the beauty of art. Nobody gets, like, you know't you're not doing it for, like, I'm not doing it for other people.
Speaker: I'm doing it because Because I think it's fucking cool. Because I like it. Because I would be just proud of it. Because I think it's something interesting.
Speaker: And if there's like the 1%, if you will, that kind of go, hold on a second, you know, and then piece it all together and have a moment of reflection that's based on that.
Speaker: that i that's more than I can ever ask for. So I think that's like the cool thing, you know, and and how else am I going to set myself apart from all these other fucking breweries out there with their grill, what is grillkongen things and all the rest, like, you know, when nobody's, nobody's doing anything authentic and real.
Speaker: To them, yeah. Yeah, to them. And this is this is authentic and real to me, so why not fucking do it? yeah I agree with that. i And i really think you need to be a trailblazer in your own right.
Speaker: Yeah, right. you know like What's that so was that saying? Build it and they will come or something like that? Yeah. is is it's It's a little bit like that. o you know you just kind of ah Probably also the same thing with like being patient and just being good at your craft.
Speaker: Yeah, right. you know and then just And just the people will come. That's what I think you're right about my stuff too, right? The people will come. It's just...
Speaker: I just got to keep on doing the work and proving That doesn't mean that you don't change or evolve or no no not anything like that. It's just that that it's like you haven't, you know, there's a process of building that's still on being on undergoing, like undergoing, still in you going on that you haven't hit critical mass yet.
Speaker: Yeah, the the new adopters are there, but yeah it hasn't hit critical mass. and That bell curve will be an interesting ride when I get there.
Speaker: Yeah, right. Exactly. so i honestly believe I'll get there, and I think that's the difference between myself and others, I think. It's like a genuinely just think it's just a project away, and then I'm on my way.
Speaker: Well, that's the thing, isn't it? is It takes that one one video to blow up. Yeah, and then everyone else like, holy crap, he's got like 150 videos here that I've never seen before.
Speaker: Yeah, and then all those start ticking over and then, you know, you start getting hate comments about all your... yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. The keyboard warriors to start out there.
Speaker: that's That's when you know you've made it. Yeah, When you get like super trolls on your comments. like yeah I think I would smile even more. Like that if I had this like 50% trolls on my comments, I would just be so happy. Yeah. It means I made it.
Speaker: ah ah ah Years ago, that wouldn't be the case. Years ago, I would have been like, oh, they don't like me. Why don't they like me? But I think now there's now you're like carving knives in the forest like a fucking psycho.
Speaker: Yeah. What'd you say on my comment section, you bastard?
Speaker: ah You should just send them a picture of you carving knives. Comment with this picture. Down with my samurai side.
Speaker: Oh, there you go. Has there been anything else going on, Kieran? That's kind of it, to be honest. I mean, I gave some my beers to the guys at Armandson, and that's been really nice.
Speaker: ah Obviously, all of them are ah test batches, and the feedback from guys who are doing brewing...
Speaker: great beer, you know, week in and week out has been so nice. They've been so so supportive and so pumped, you know. They're, you know, especially this guy, John, he's just like so positive, such a lovely guy.
Speaker: And, um you know, just just the feedback has been great on the beers just to know that I've kind of hit, like even beers that I've, like i I gave them the basil sour.
Speaker: Mm-hmm. And that's been one of the favorites. Interesting. When am I going to get a basil sour? When are you going to come visit me, you jerk? That's true.
Speaker: I've got some Cosmic in the fridge for you as well. Yeah, yeah. and That being said, I'm actually going to send off some beers this week to Wales, to the beer-tasty guy.
Speaker: Oh, right. yeah just start some start moving some things, see see what happens there. So that's going to be fun. um what Yeah, like ah who are you going to send it to besides him?
Speaker: There's a few. I got a list. I can't remember off the top of my head. Yeah. ah But there's a list of people out there that we'll will get some of the ones. And now obviously some of these are like, you know, test patches I've basically printed the label for and and they'll get it as if it's a real brew.
Speaker: Yeah. um And some obviously but beers that are commercially produced. So, it's going to be exciting to see what the feedback is, uh, on those beers and, and see if anything comes of it.
Speaker: So it's, um, it's a positive, positive things are happening. Awesome. Yeah. Like ah um I was about to say what's blowing my mind this week, Justin.
Speaker: Oh, Karen, tell me what's blowing your mind. There are beer geeks running tasting events, sending me emails asking for like intimate details on the brewing and brewing processes in order to present my beer to their little group.
Speaker: Mind blown. I mean, it's really like pretty like this is like random messages from people. are Like I got one or two this in the last couple of weeks from people like asking more, wanting to know more about the brewery, more about the where like, you know, everything about it.
Speaker: You know, what kind of fucking molten hops and whatever, because they want to do this little presentation for their little beer club. And I just think that's fucking cool. And maybe you should have like a thing on your website so you don't have to answer all these bloody emails.
Speaker: ah It's nice to have the interaction with people too. That's true. And the other day ah I got tagged in ah in a photo. Some guy had taken the Nordic triple to fucking Portugal.
Speaker: Oh. And it like I'm just like, okay, wow. Okay, cool. It's just just like awesome. My beer is getting to Portugal. If only I there could sell it there too.
Speaker: Probably can, Karen. Hmm. You're just going find an agent. Yeah. So, and there you go that's That's what's blown my mind this week. What's blown your mind, Justin?
Speaker: Well, it's kind of weirdly along the same lines. Ah, the... Strancisny. No, no you're not in that way, Kieran. It's only like because it's going to talk about beer.
Speaker: Twins in gristady. Strancisny.
Speaker: What's blowing my mind this week was a beer by Northern Monk called Faith. no
Speaker: Mind blown. That old chestnut. The great beer. Great beer. I never tasteasst it tried it before. Really? the Yeah, it i was in it was in the Nihet, the new beers at Meni in Jarlsburg. Oh, yeah. Okay, so they've got a 4.7 version. Yes, that's great. They've got a 4.7. And as 4.7, holy crap, it was good.
Speaker: You haven't tasted Cosmic Christ yet, you fucking jerk. It's way better. Yeah. ah ah Yeah. But I agree. It's a good beer. It's a good beer.
Speaker: Northern Monk, fantastic brewery out of Leeds in the UK, doing amazing stuff. They're doing something right. but Their IPA is doing fucking great.
Speaker: so It was such a good beer for 4.7.
Speaker: It was fantastic. So, yeah, ah looking forward to comparing yours to it because the bar is pretty high, Kieran. yeah I'm meant to and fucking smash that bar out of the way.
Speaker: Yes. All right. Kieran, what is giving you the shits? You know what's giving me the shits this week? Stressed out holiday people.
Speaker: Who does number two work for? You know, it's like, it's Easter time, right? you're You're going, you're, everyone's got like lots of time off. You can like go to the cabin, have a nice relaxing time, sit in the sun, drink some beers, whatever.
Speaker: go to the supermarket. Everyone's fucking stressed out. Oh, a fucking, that like oh, I'm like, oh I'm stressed out. Cause I got to go up to the cabin. i'm like, calm the fuck down.
Speaker: I'll give you and this. this what What triggered this, right, is I i was ah going to the supermarket and I pulled into this ah parking space, it was a bit tight.
Speaker: Now, admittedly, I was like like, there was cars coming up behind me. So I just pulled into the spot and I was going to reverse out and like readjust the car in the space. But in the time that pulled in, this woman walked behind the car before, like as i was putting in reverse and then was trying to get into the car beside me.
Speaker: Right. And then she's kind of standing there annoyed at me. And I'm like, trying to figure out is she going to get in the car, is she not going to get in the car? So I wind down the window and I say to her, do you need me to move the car? I was about to move the car.
Speaker: And she's like, of course, <unk> and like if you don't want me to ding your car. And I was like, okay, I'll just move the car. it's no problem. And so I started moving the car and then, of course, she's standing all in the wrong place, you know, like, right, you know, like, and she's like, oh, my God, you almost hit me.
Speaker: You know, I'm like this kind of thing and I'm just like, chill the fuck out. Like, literally, I'm just trying to help you. I'm trying to help you. and I'm just like, people are so stressed.
Speaker: And I'm like, Go to your cabin and just depressurize for a second. You know. It's so insane. i Like even like on a on the Saturday where the the supermarket was open for the couple of hours, like it was packed.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah. like we good But like why wouldn't you buy enough food to last more than three days, you idiots? Oh, you don't annoy. That's crazy. It's so crazy how people buy food here.
Speaker: They don't do weekly shops and nothing. It's like day by day almost. Like, oh, what are we to dinner today? Oh, we'll just go down to Kiwi and check it out. It's like spend so much money.
Speaker: Far out. ah And then they're like, oh, the interest rates got up. Power prices are too high. i'm like, you know what? It's called a weekly shop. Fucking save some money, you idiots.
Speaker: How about you sell one of your bloody hitters or your boats, you idiots? Yeah, I'm like, you don't need two boats and a hitter. And a fucking helicopter. exit These rich Norwegians rolling around in their helicopters.
Speaker: Do you remember they this power crisis and it was all expensive and all these people are like, but I can't afford to keep my cabin warm. I'm like, but you're not even there. Why are you keeping it warm?
Speaker: Fucking idiots. Jesus Christ. um Sorry, that shit exploded a bit there because of diarrhea oh shit.
Speaker: Okay, Justin, and tell me what's given you the shits.
Speaker: Kids with no manners.
Speaker: Who does number two work for? Okay, so we talked about this couple weeks ago when the boys came But I mean...
Speaker: It's remarkable. like Today, Henry's friends came over. they just roll to my house. They start taking things out of the fridge and like getting cups and pouring themselves a drink. I'm like, ah, excuse me?
Speaker: I'm thirsty, they say. But yeah, I'm thirsty. but ah yeah What do you do when you get it?
Speaker: I just get a drink. but Yeah, it's it's my fridge. it's like You just don't take it. In this house, you ask, can I get a glass of water?
Speaker: Can I get a glass of juice? You ask. You don't just go into somebody's house, walk in to their kitchen, take out a cup, open the fridge and get yourself something. like My son was nowhere near him.
Speaker: He just decided that he was thirsty and decided to go do it himself. I'm like, what are you what are what are these parents teaching their kids?
Speaker: like and it's not i don't think I think I'm alone in this. I don't think any other parents think this is unacceptable behavior. I think I'm the only one. i think I'm being outraged for no reason, apparently.
Speaker: But for me, it just makes like, no wonder this country's falling apart. um mean, that's a pretty bold statement, actually. I mean, there the reality is like, let's let's be honest here. Like,
Speaker: Manners are not built into the Norwegian language. No, they're not. that's your first issue there. You have a language that doesn't support manners in the same way that, let's say, English does.
Speaker: um You know, you are like the closest thing you get to it, like no one uses the Norwegian version of please, which is vasesnil, right? No one uses that. Like you'd be like a super, like you'd be begging or something if you say vasesnil in Norwegian.
Speaker: And then, but the closest you'd get in everyday sense is, can I get Kanye 4? And like, that's it. that's That's the nicest way you can ask for anything in Norwegian. Can I get?
Speaker: Not in my house. Yeah, I'm right. Fucking...
Speaker: You're like this tough dad and all the kids in the neighborhood are like, don't go Henry's place. His dad's a dick. oh I don't care. yeah you know what? Because most of these kids at some point will go experience the world somewhere else besides their little Norway.
Speaker: Right? Or maybe they won't. They probably won't. Maybe they won't, but... But they'll be the loss. Yeah. Those kids that go experience the world will learn the hard way.
Speaker: Yeah, slap them up to the side of the head.
Speaker: You're just doing it verbally beforehand. and I mean, for me, I'm like, i mean I'm um'm in your boat, Jess. I'm in your boat. I'm like, I'm sitting there like manners.
Speaker: like we drill it yeah Like, I drill it into McKenzie a lot, you know, And like, I say it all the time to him. I'm like, you can't just say you want something.
Speaker: I'm like, can I please have this dad, you know? And like, and I hope that he, and I heard that he does act like that when he's in other people's houses. And I'm proud of that.
Speaker: We'll see how long that lasts. But, you know, There's like, we try and get that into them pretty early and, and, you know, so we'll see when Mackenzie starts bringing his friends, like when the friends just drop around with our parents and see what happens.
Speaker: You know, maybe I'll be the one being like, Oi, what's your vips? That's a vips caravio for that juice you just drank. Dude, that's a good answer. I like that. i like that. Yeah. I think I should ask them. 20 crowns.
Speaker: 20 crowns for the juice, mate. There's a vips, Krav. what
Speaker: ah I think that's a good plan, Kieran. I need to start. I need to put sign saying, like please take juice. It will only cost you 20 kronas. um Not just to say juice 20 crowns. I'll be so rich. You just say it on the side of the – just put it on the fridge. Not on the on the actual juice itself, a post-it note that says juice 20 crowns when you know the kids are coming around.
Speaker: And they pull it off and you're like, didn't you read? Didn't you read this the note that said 20 crowns? Where's my money? To make you break your kneecaps, you little punk? Bada, bada, bada, bada, bada.
Speaker: Yeah. no But talking about money, Kieran, I think that would give us a nice segue into my patrons. Big shout out to my all my patrons, but especially big thank you to my heroes, Thomas Barkhner, Mark Foster, Janis Klemms, Ullis Skittaren, Arthur Midgard, The Swedish Maker, Mark Jones, and Stinsu, and a massive thank you to my sidekicks, Sylvester, Arna, and Thomas.
Speaker: You guys rock. You rock. I want to give a shout out to my patrons. What? Yeah. ready a patron finally You ready? You ready? Yes. There is none.
Speaker: There is none. Sorry, I haven't started a Patreon yet. So disappointed. I know you're disappointed, Justin. I know you're disappointed. But I'm like, it literally, it's the last thing from my mind. Not because I don't think that I'm worth it.
Speaker: Not because I don't think people would sign up. I just honestly, I'm just yeah on my to-do list. It rates pretty low. so Jürgen's so disappointed in you right now.
Speaker: Oh, is it Jürgen? Oh, have to send him a message. Good old Jürgen. So, yeah, ah we'll see. We'll see ah if I get around to that now that I'll have a little bit more time to focus on said things in the coming week.
Speaker: Maybe patron account will be created. Nice. Yes.
Speaker: Recommendations, Kieran. let's ah Let's hear the song. Recommendation, recommendation. What is your recommendation? Yeah.
Speaker: I watched a video this week by a brand new channel and go called Super Ordinary. Super spelled S-U-P-R.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Super Ordinary. Yeah. but Okay. one One of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Okay. Do tell. This guy used to, or he's a graphic designer, and he works for all these top big brands and stuff.
Speaker: And he decided he's going to make a YouTube video about kind of helping people with his skills that don't have the money to do so. Hmm.
Speaker: ah So this first video is about him helping this local sandwich shop and rebranding it to help it become better and bigger and yeah.
Speaker: But what blew me away was the storytelling, the cinematography. like It's incredibly good. yeah like This type of video would take me probably three or four months to make.
Speaker: It was good. He wasn't really creating anything. You don't really see him do much of the actual marketing like the branding work on the video. you little It's about telling the story. He goes and visits the original guy that started the sandwich shop and ah he takes him for a ride. And, you know, there's a whole bunch of sequences that just tell the story so great.
Speaker: There's even humor in there. there's This is fantastic. you know, he has a like a kind of like a hot rod style biking moments, you know, his's bie he's decided he's going to bike to the sandwich shop, you know, and then you just see him like fly off these mountains and it's a it's ah like a dummy on a bike. Yeah, okay. It's so good. I was trying to figure out what you were referring to there. Okay.
Speaker: yeah It's so good and and shot incredibly well and the just the cinematography. like I highly recommend it.
Speaker: I have to now find the name of the title of the video. super What was it called? Super Ordinary? Super Ordinary. Yeah. um Geez, where is it now?
Speaker: Yeah. Giving a small sandwich shop a big rebrand for free by Super Ordinary.
Speaker: it's It was a fantastic video. So... Like, I highly recommend you watch it. And, I mean, he released it 12 days ago and it's already got 322,000 views.
Speaker: for ah For his first video on his channel, like, amazing. One nice thing though is like when you do it for businesses, like everyone, obviously that business will share and anyone who's connected and values that business will share again. And then you have this on flow effect through that networking there. So yeah, it's smart if you want to get views, that's for sure.
Speaker: But I think the thing that blew me away ah was just the fact like even just the color correction, like everything is in the right tone.
Speaker: You know, like he has color graded everything. It's so well done. And like the it's color graded for the right part of the video, if you understand, the chapter of the video.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah. And then when things become light and like more exciting, the color grading changes to warmer, yellow or color. it's It's just so well done.
Speaker: As a filmmaker, I was just blown away. So that is my recommendation. Go check out Super Ordinary. Sweet. Um, my recommendation for this week is silent planet.
Speaker: Some metal core. If you're into that jam, um, some medical with some, with some depth, some real depth that I think if you're into that kind of thing, if you, you, it's hard to imagine poetry,
Speaker: poetry ah you know, like the guys like reading from Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, um you know, Dante's Inferno. It's like these is like as it such a such a broad depth of of theological and ah and what's the word for it I'm looking for? Not just theological, but also um academic reading.
Speaker: into the nature of being alive and being a human and that, you know, it's, if you want to go down that rabbit hole, you'll find some real gold there. So.
Speaker: Is he screaming it the whole time? Not the whole time. There's a lot of like spoken word style, um, poetry, like, Like a poetry slam, if you know what that that is. Yeah. and But it it it it seems weird, but it really works for the for the for the song. li it There's a great song with a really interesting topic called Panic Room, which is all about um post-traumatic stress disorder, ah more specifically the telling story of um of a friend of his who came back from a conflict in in the Middle East.
Speaker: and was dealing with all these all these things. And know the the the story it tells you know about like heroin addiction to deal with the trauma and all these different things, um and then the mental anguish of someone who's been through that kind of...
Speaker: trauma and how they how they're wrestling with it. And it is really, really thought-provoking and interesting if you're so inclined to to want to kind of dive into that stuff. um If you're deep like Kieran and you really want to get into it.
Speaker: Yeah, well, you know, it's either that or talk about the price of fucking milk. ah So, it's you know, I know which I'd prefer, like something actually fucking means something, you know So there there we go. if you If you want to, you know, fill your head with something that might actually mean something to you more than the fucking price of milk, then get into Silent Planet.
Speaker: i mean, you might actually like the music too if you're into metalcore. So there you go. Before I wrap this thing up, Karen, what is metalcore? i I guess technically it's like the mix of hardcore, like punk rock with ah metal.
Speaker: I guess that's where the terminology has come from. So it's like a faster metal. ah Yeah, often like fast metal, but, you know, typically known for like these big... breakdowns you've listened to metal core songs all your life without knowing that they're metalcore.
Speaker: Okay. Fair enough. You know, pretty much anything that you're just like, oh, that's just a heavy, heavy hitting song, probably a metalcore song. Because it's often like fast paced and then heavy.
Speaker: And it's like, always have some big breakdown with a big chugging section, know, where it's like, jo do do do tu do do and you're just like, oh, that's dirty.
Speaker: yeah You know, that kind of ah that kind of sound vibe that's going on. Are we talking about porn here? Are we talking about music here? Jesus.
Speaker: I love my porn with a bit of chug. ah On that note, people, I think we'll end it here.

We better better wrap it up soon. We don't need to be talking about the fact that there are some people out there that think that birds are drones and real birds have been extinct since the
Speaker: There you go. Tinfoil hat cat. e If you're one of those people that thinks that all birds are drones spying on you, please tell them to stop shitting on the house or the kid's trampoline. The kid's trampoline, that's the worst. Oh, hate when those drones shit on my kid's trampoline.
Speaker: And my car. who oh Oh, that's the other thing. I forgot about this. This crazy. They believe that the shit is a tracking device. That's why they shit on your car all the time.
Speaker: There you go. Oh my god.
Speaker: There are people that have definitely not enough to do in their life. There are people that took an acid trip and didn't come back. They should be making stuff in their garage instead of to talking about birds being drones and the price of milk.
