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 non-street legal death machines in my garage in the hope of one day making a living living out of it. I can't talk.
Speaker: And I'm Kieran trying to turn my garage-brewed spritzers into a world-renowned homery. yeah Is that supposed to be like a homophobic joke there, Justin?
Speaker: This is 2025, Justin. Get with the times. You can't make those kind of jokes anymore. You can. it's going anti-woke now, Kieran. ah Finally, some equilibrium.
Speaker: And I will be at the forefront. Will you now prepare for the hate mail? Yeah.
Speaker: I don't care what people think of me, Kieran. It's a joke and it's a joke towards you. Yeah, right, clearly. If someone else has a problem with it, I don't know what's wrong with them.
Speaker: Maybe they really like me and they're coming in my defense. Maybe. yeah But ah for those who haven't listened this podcast, we are twin brothers with a passion for creating the wild and unexpected in our garages.
Speaker: And we try to take you every week on a sort of everyday...
Speaker: which I feel like we don't actually do that much in our garages these days, but we try to everyday life in what's going on in our garages. We try. we try. Hopefully at least it's entertaining. That's the hope.
Speaker: So what has been happening in your garage this week, Justin? Kieran, I think we need to get into this one.
Speaker: Oh, what's the malted liquor? What gets you drunker quicker? What comes in bottles or in cans? Coffee. Yeah, wait, sorry, sorry. I got a little bit overwhelmed. I thought we were doing beers today, but we're... Yeah. So due to Kieran just being a big wuss bag and not wanting to show up to his doctor drunk... yeah ah where With child...
Speaker: I did actually get a beer out for this, but then i looked at it and then Kieran said, oh, I'm not going to drink a beer. And I was like, yeah, I don't really want to drink a 9% at 9 o'clock in the morning.
Speaker: Not really. So I'm also going to step out. but I've got me coffee. ah How do you have your coffee, Kieran?
Speaker: Um...
Speaker: like Do you have it black like you like your women? or ah Black like I wish i cock my cock was. That's what I always say to people. like How do you like your coffee like you wish your cock was?
Speaker: Big and black?
Speaker: Norwegian is laughing at that. They're like, oh, oh, oh, oh. but What are you saying, I have a tiny penis? ah hear um How year are you saying that I'm all anti-woke? Look at you talking about racial issues.
Speaker: We're all about the hypocri hypocrisy here on the on the Garage Avenger podcast. So, and no, I have my coffee. i don' typically have a double cappuccino or double latte, depending on what I'm feeling for for the day.
Speaker: That's what I have. Do you have a machine that does this or do you do do it like ah like the proper barista way? Because you used to be at a barista. Yeah, that's right. So we have an automatic machine.
Speaker: Sacrilege! But the interesting thing is is that I have dialed in our machine a little bit because I know what I'm looking for when it does the coffee shot.
Speaker: And the biggest problem that most people have is they overextract their coffee and then it gets bitter and astringent and it's not nice. So I've kind of dialed in the machine and at that point where it goes from that like nice dark golden color to like a light straw color out of the machine. That's when you want to stop it because then you get overextraction.
Speaker: So that's what I did. And I'm really happy with the everyday coffee I drink. So... Because for those who don't know, Kieran, when he first came to Norway, was a bit of a barista guy. And he, before he got into beer, he was all into coffee.
Speaker: He was like, I've got the bean grinder thing machine and it's going to mix this perfect coffee and the gleaming globen. Now
Speaker: I'm all like, oh, the hops and the gleaming globen. Yeah.
Speaker: yeah No, I mean, I guess it's a it's actually a weird – it's in a similar stream, though. is, really. There's a lot similar stream in terms of it. You've got like ah you know and kind of a living ingredient that's very terroir-based.
Speaker: What is terroir? What does that even mean? and like So, for example, if you get grapes that are – that's where the term comes from, from the wine world. If you get grapes that are grown in ah in a certain region, they have a certain flavor profile based on the climate and the soil and, ah you know, like the elevation, the whole thing, right?
Speaker: And so you get a different flavor profile based on where it's grown. And the same goes for coffee beans and for hops and for like, there's a plethora of different things. Like anything that's grown in the ground is influenced by the environment and soil that, you know, soil and climate around it.
Speaker: And the amount of pee that people put on the lemon tree. Yeah, exactly, right? I that's an environmental factor there. Nitrates.
Speaker: There you go. So, yeah, and not a far... How do you have your coffee, Justin? ah Well... I'm not a Viking savage and drink it black.
Speaker: Like, no, I'm sorry. Like, if you're drinking black coffee thinking it's the right way to drink coffee, ah the like as in the Americano long black, which is what most Norwegians do, they have this filter coffee. Like, I'm sorry, you're making a fatal mistake.
Speaker: Well, especially if you're buying cheap, nasty beans. like If you're buying expensive beans that have got some real like character to it and you want to get the best out of it, sometimes a pour over filter type coffee is the best you can do.
Speaker: Yeah, but most don't really do that. No, but it just buy like Evergood or some big conglomerate Nescafe type brand. Yeah. but So I
Speaker: ah was ah calling you sacrilegious for having coffee machine. I also have a coffee machine. Hypocrite! And I don't do everything by hand ah or anything like that.
Speaker: My wife got this free machine. ah So it's a funny story. So we used to, she used to work for a company called Columbia Sportswear.
Speaker: And she worked in the head office and somehow they got to know this guy that worked at the docks. Okay. Yeah. And for exchange for like clothing and stuff, he would give them things that just seemed to have fallen off the back of the truck. That's dodge fuck. I know. It was brilliant because guess what we got?
Speaker: but We got a Miller coffee machine. That just fell off the fucking back of a truck. Honestly, i don't know. this ah This machine, brand new, is like 22,000 kronos, dude. It's so expensive. And we got it for free.
Speaker: Nice. Because when the company when the company shot down... they just Because they they closed the the Norwegian office because they're like, oh, everything's too expensive over there. We'll close Norwegian office. Even though even though their contracts paid for two-thirds of Europe.
Speaker: And they closed the Norwegian office. How stupid is that? oh Anyway. um Yeah, so they closed the office down and they said, like, just get rid of everything. Throw everything in the dumpster.
Speaker: That's what they said. Because they couldn't write it off. They couldn't sell it, right? Where are they going put the money and how are they going justify that? Yeah, exactly. So they said throw it in dumpster. So like we're going to throw a 22,000 krona coffee machine in the dumpster. Thank you. Come again. yeah i mean, right now i'm sitting ahead I'm sitting at one of those like ah automatic stand-up desks. Oh, that desk is from there too. ah You know what? I didn't think about that.
Speaker: I've got two of them. and And a very expensive seat I'm sitting on as well. So everything came from Columbia Sportswear. Thank you, Columbia Sportswear, for shutting down your Norwegian office. because This podcast is sponsored by Columbia Sportswear.
Speaker: So yes, I have my coffee generally a little bit more milkier than ah just ah like a flat white would be, I would say. ah But it's essentially a flat white.
Speaker: Flat white. Well, now, tell the people what a flat white is and where it comes from, because there's a lot of people, there's a lot of debate out there. You're the coffee guy. I don't know.
Speaker: i just call it a flat white. i don't even know what a flat white really is. Then how can you call it a flat white? All right. All right. alright go Flat white, originally an Australian termed coffee.
Speaker: Ah. Did not exist outside of Australia until it was adopted by the likes of, I think it was Starbucks. And that that coton became the coffee, yeah became the and made it like a popular style of coffee drink.
Speaker: Now, basically what it is is a flat latte. but Like basically like you got a bunch of shitty Australian baristas that couldn't find milk properly. Just scorched the shit out of you. If you're ever at a cafe and the guy or the girl there is steaming the milk and it's squealing, it's like this high-pitched squeal coming from the coffee machine, they're fucking your milk.
Speaker: i say You hear that all the time. Yeah, yeah because people don't know. You've got to let the air into the milk and there's a whole technique with it. But to get good foam, you've got to get enough air basically bubbling through with the steam.
Speaker: and They heard it, people. They're screwing your coffee. They might as well be sticking their dick in your coffee. Wow.
Speaker: As far as I'm concerned. because I mean, you can taste the difference. Scorched milk tastes like shit. It does. It makes the coffee terrible. So basically, there was a bunch of shitty Australian baristas who couldn't fucking make a proper latte, and they just called it a flat white.
Speaker: ah Because it was flat milk. They wouldn't they couldn't foam it properly. They just heated it up. and So it's the closest you can get to like a regular like coffee with milk at ah at a proper cafe.
Speaker: To be honest, like I generally don't like add warm milk. Generally, I just put a like i make a long black and then I'll just add a dash of milk.
Speaker: So you over extract your coffee on that coffee machine and then you just add milk to to balance out the bitter, astringent, shitty coffee you've made. No, ah yeah, i would still I would still add milk to. No matter what. Yeah, okay.
Speaker: No matter what. yeah Because I just don't like. There's a bunch of coffee haters out there, like coffee ah connoisseurs, I should say, out there that are just like, milk and coffee. Outrageous. Yeah, but it's better than adding oat milk or something like this. you know just I do the full cream, baby. Let's go. Full fat. Let's go.
Speaker: So, yep, there we go. There's our coffee drinks for the day. What's been happening in your garage this week, Justin? ah so much. Finally. Tell tell me I want to add like a crickets sound in here. You can that in post-production.
Speaker: No, actually, so ah Tuesday after this podcast, I was, I needed to get the video up to date. So, I went through all the footage I had ah built the video up to the point where the project was at, which was basically i had ah put the chains on and everything and I was checking all the alignment and had Kristen come in to and talk about things in the garage as well.
Speaker: so that was That was good. Chief technical officer, Kristen. Yeah. I have to admit, i feel like she is becoming like this element of the videos that I think will make me stand out a little bit.
Speaker: Yeah, cool. So there's some guy in his head. Yeah, it's ah I guess a small element of like she's a supportive wife, but she doesn't really understand her husband, why he builds this stuff.
Speaker: that's yeah that You know why that's good? Because that's every man. Yeah, right? I think so, right? yeah And it's nice it's nice to add this element. So like in this new video, that's how the video starts.
Speaker: It's like me in the garage with this hand truck and a bunch of wheels. Yeah. And it starts off with me. Well, it starts off with her going, what are you doing now?
Speaker: And then it's, yeah, I explain that I'm going to turn this hand truck into a motorcycle. And she's like, Why? Why would you do such a thing, right? It's the same as like most wives are like, why would you build that? I don't understand.
Speaker: So, ah yeah, I feel really good about that, but we'll see how that video turns out. um I still have to, of course, finish the project. So ah this week I got quite a bit done.
Speaker: I managed to finalize a lot of the things such as brakes and ah like wiring and things like that. And the main thing that was a massive success was the exhaust.
Speaker: You got some help from that one, didn't you? Yeah, yeah. so i So I feel so lucky to have Frederick because he calls me. where The plan was to do it on Thursday. Yeah. And he rings me. He's like, dude, I can't do Thursday.
Speaker: I've got something on. I'm like, okay, shit. You know, like this is a big delay in the project. I can do the pro i can do the exhaust If I really want, but I could do it with my shitty MIG welder and it's got to look a bit shitty and that's fine.
Speaker: I can do it. It would take me 10 times longer than it took Frederick to help me. Right. Yeah. But I could do it, right? But then he goes, but you know what? I'm coming back from work because we had a public holiday here on the Thursday. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: Labor Day, Norwegian Labor Day it was. And he's like, I'm coming back from work tonight. Yeah, so I'll just drop in to you and we'll do it tonight. Sweet.
Speaker: And I was like, sweet. So he got here at like 8.30 and he left at like 2 in the morning. yeah So but we got it done. It was it looks so good. I don't know what you you thought of it, but...
Speaker: i was I was expecting bigger pipes, to be honest, the way you were talking about it. I wanted bigger pipes. I was expecting some Milo tin on the end. I kind of wanted that, but I'm kind of glad we didn't do that.
Speaker: Yeah. what mean I think it would have been a little bit too weird. I'm glad it kind of, it goes, the pipe size goes in profile with with the bike and fits the style. I think I would be better.
Speaker: Yeah, I think if we had gotten bigger pipe, we would have to go one pipe each side, if you understand name. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. yeah Instead of splitting it the way we split it. So for those who are listening and haven't seen what I've done. Follow Justin on Instagram.
Speaker: If you're already. um'm I made, it's because it's a 125 four-stroke engine. It's not a big engine. It doesn't actually need a very big exhaust, ah but- What I did is we bent a pipe from the exhaust port down underneath the engine. And when it comes comes out of the backside of the engine, it splits into two pipes that run parallel next to each other down the side of the bike. And then right at the end or just underneath,
Speaker: Just before the back wheel, it kind of just, ah there's like some elbows that we kind of spit the exhaust out to the side. I think it, and it looks pretty cool. Because I i had a ah friend come over yesterday with his Harley Davidson.
Speaker: And... I was looking at that, i was like, I didn't get this that wrong. You're like, you think your Harley Davidson is cool? Check this out.
Speaker: 125cc, baby. So, yeah, i mean the oh i mean, that brings me back to like everything. So i' I'd done the wiring, I'd done the brakes, I'd done the exhaust.
Speaker: It was time to to start this thing up, man, and give it a go. Yeah. ah How was it going to work? Yeah. So I filled it up with gas and fuel just came pouring out the the welds on the tank. Oh, really? Fuck. I was like, ah, no. What is happening?
Speaker: Where's all this fuel coming from? you burnt through the fuel tank? when No, I hadn't. The five-year-old child that welded it it in China did. Oh, my God. ah ah But I don't blame this five-year-old.
Speaker: No, he's only five. It's bloody thin metal. It's really hard to weld. so i I had to have a little another go at it.
Speaker: I took it very, what would you say, gingerly yeah with the welder, like so careful. And then I like filled that. So I had to empty the tank, of course, because welding and fuel don't quite go well. Yeah, I imagine.
Speaker: And then when I had welded it up, I then went to test it with water so that I could see if it was leaking. I didn't find any leaks and then I grinded the big ugly welds that I put on it yeah back and then tested it again with water to make sure I hadn't removed the weld that was yeah yeah holding together and no leaks. So put that thing finally back on the bike, filled up with fuel, took it out.
Speaker: I was about to take it out and then I realized, oh, the kickstart. I can't put the kickstart on because the new exhaust is in the way.
Speaker: I'm like, na why? Why? And then i really after a while, I thought, i was thinking about cutting the kickstart and like bending it and re-wielding it on this angle so that it could work in the position it should be in.
Speaker: But then I realized, oh wait a sec, I can put it under the exhaust and you kind of lean the bike over a little bit and kick it down underneath the bike and it will start. So I did that.
Speaker: Just the only problem is that the kickstart actually sits on the exhaust, if you understand what mean. Yeah, okay. It's metal, so it's fine. Are you going have like a long-term solution for that or is it going to be that way?
Speaker: No, I'm not to fix that. Fair enough. That's good enough for Garage Avenger. Yeah, just winging it. Yeah, i mean, yeah, it's fine.
Speaker: No, but I took it outside and I i literally kicked it once yeah and it started. And it sounded so good.
Speaker: yeah Like for a 125 four-stroke that usually sounds like a bag of shit. Well, you've got these big frigging pipes on it, giving some nice bigger sound to it.
Speaker: Yeah, it was. It was really good. yeah um And so, yeah, I decided that I was going to take it for a little spin up my driveway. oh it was incredibly hard to ride it.
Speaker: so It was because one, I don't know how to ride a motorcycle. I don't even have my license. Yeah, right.
Speaker: so I had to remember like, oh how do you how do you do the clutch with the handle? And like, how do you like gas? And like, how do you break? yeah got
Speaker: So yeah, um i I took it up the road, took around. I never got it out of first gear. Brought it back.
Speaker: And then ah Kristen happened to be in the driveway when it was still running. So I was like, you should try it, babe. And so she ended up jumping on it and I convinced her to put it in gear and drive it.
Speaker: So she drove it also up the driveway and back. Nice. And then I finally got a chance to like sit ah like on it properly and then give it a bit of stick. And ah the frame only bent a little bit.
Speaker: ah Well, i I say a little bit because the the chains somehow got looser. Now, I don't know if it's just the chains wearing in too. That's another thing. yeah That could be another factor. They could be all stretching out, you know, like, and it doesn't take much for the, like much stretch for the the chain to get loose or slack.
Speaker: oh So and kind of at this stage now where like, do I just remove one more link and just get it tied again? Yeah. Yeah. So we'll see.
Speaker: Cool. but But it works. It sounds great. It looks kind of freaking cool. ah The only thing that sucks is um I didn't have the right connector for the lights.
Speaker: Yeah, okay. so So the lights don't work at the moment. i have to I have to buy like a voltage regulator. i actually have a spare voltage regulator, but I don't have the plug to plug into the to the pins to make it connect to the lights.
Speaker: So that's a bit of the problem that I've got at the moment. and So i basically need to get that sorted. this week and then I'm going to strip this thing down and paint it.
Speaker: So I have to disassemble absolutely everything. Yeah. Hopefully I can get everything apart. Hopefully. Yeah. are you going to do, is it going to be the, the, um, blue team of field team of blue?
Speaker: Yeah, I think it has to be for the thumbnail to get that translation too. And when I said I had my friend ah come over, he's actually my mechanic, my local mechanic.
Speaker: Yeah, okay. And we get on like a house on fire. and that i met for Is Was he fixing fixing the citron or something? Frederick? No, no, no. I used to work with Frederick. This is Mutz who owns homes that owns the Harley Dings. Okay. Okay. Right.
Speaker: Yeah. so I told him like, I'm building a bike and he's like, what? What type of bike? like, I don't really know what you call it. you know And then he's sort of been following along for a bit.
Speaker: And then he kind of sent me a message the other week and he's like, oh that looks so good. I was like, you should come and have a look at it properly and ride it maybe and see what you think of it. And so that's what he did yesterday. He came yesterday, i spent about two hours with us talking about bikes and I got a good understanding of what to say to piss off people on my videos. That's really good. I got a lot of information.
Speaker: i know that if I call it a fat boy, people are like, that's not a fat boy. And so I might get some comments. Engagement. Engagement. so yeah you know And I'm quite happy to stir the pot in my videos. like I'm confident enough in what I'm doing to not take it personally.
Speaker: I'm not fearful at all of comments and things that people are going to come with. So be it. you know And he also told me, do some other things that are going to piss him off, like you know ah use the white marker on the sidewalls to color the lettering in and like write text or whatever on the sidewall of the tire. yeah Because like all motorbike riders hate that.
Speaker: They're like, you don't do that on the bikes. it's That's like that stupid racing car shit, you know? and So I kind of basically, I'm going to do a couple of those things to make sure that people are going to get really triggered by this bike that I built.
Speaker: That's just, the yeah. And you were talking about like, ah ah that's i mean, i think it's genius, really. Just trigger some people.
Speaker: I don't care. Like i said, they can say the meanest shit ever. Who are they to tell me how I should build a bike? At the end of the day, they watched the video and then probably shared it with all their friends out of hatred.
Speaker: Well, actually, he said that. He's like, if you share if I shared this with my dad, he would share it to all his friends going, look at this idiot. hi And they'd all watch it and go, oh, what an idiot. Or follow him on Instagram.
Speaker: thought of Now I've subscribed to his channel. See what else this idiot gets up to. i think they're doing that. i've heard it But yeah, ah I think we'll we'll see how that goes. But like I said, I'm not really scared at all about people having a problem with what I'm doing.
Speaker: yeah you know i't I don't care. i I think it's fun and that's all that matters for me. Yeah, good. Good. Sweet. What about you, Kiz? What's been happening? Well, there's been a few things going on, mostly finishing the deck in the backyard.
Speaker: Have you been finishing your deck? My dick.
Speaker: Everyone older Norwegians are like, what? My terrace. um Yeah, so I finished that the last week. all of it has Some small finishing touches to go on it, but more or less finished.
Speaker: So I've been enjoying, the wife's been enjoying a lot hanging out on my dick.
Speaker: The kids have been running around on my dick. i That's a bad one. You accused me of being a homo because I was lying on your dick. ah
Speaker: Yeah, Justin came over yesterday and he he lay down on my dick. Ha ha ha ha. and His wife lay down on my dick as well.
Speaker: Yeah, so we've been finishing that. um What was scary is my kids were playing on your dick
Speaker: also. It's gone into the garbage.
Speaker: All right, sorry. Let's get back on track, Karen. Yeah, you finished your deck. I finished my deck, yes. And and then the the the ah the project continued. There is a lot of small work to continue in the garden, but...
Speaker: Hence is the the balance of of life with ah with a wife. If it were me, I'd just be like, yeah, throw some pallets out there. Be all good. So, um yeah, but that's that's done. so that's one less headache for the week.
Speaker: And then um Mackenzie slammed his finger. in your door last week. Yeah. He got his little pinky finger smashed in in Justin's front door last week, on just on the way. And i didn't do it on purpose.
Speaker: He did it to himself, from what I understand. But um he the poor little guy, his finger got infected, and he's been he's been complaining. In fact, on Saturday, he had a fever, which I think was related to the infection.
Speaker: Uh, so I took him to the, what they call leg of act in Norway, which is the, uh, it's interesting. i was like, Australia and other countries off don't have anything like leg of act.
Speaker: Like you would just have like a medical center or something and they're all privately run and the rest Like where it's in here in Norway, it's like state run, basically like ah ah not the emergency room at the hospital, but something a little bit like like for all the small stuff, you break your arm or whatever, and then they go in there and help you out.
Speaker: So um we went to the Lagervakt really proud of him. he was He was a little bit scared before when we started talking about going to the Lagervakt, but he was just calm and and he was, you know, he cried when they when they had to touch it and they like had to,
Speaker: But they were pressing all the pus out of his finger and shit like that. It was pretty nasty. Yeah, right. I mean, at one point it spooked it up at the doctor. And Mackenzie, I mean, it shows you how good humor Mackenzie was in. He laughed when that happened.
Speaker: Yeah. so ah and a tea was So, but he was really brave. I'm really, really proud of him. ah So, hence the reason I've actually got to take him to the doctor today to get it checked out again. They recommended we do that.
Speaker: And he's going to go on some antibiotics as well to clean up the infection. So, that's um and kind of, that's taken up a lot of the weekend. and Some exciting things, though. and Wine is being released this Thursday.
Speaker: ah Exciting. On Bestilling Zutvolk. So if you are paying attention and if you're interested in some delicious wines from Western Australia, from the Mug River region, ah jump online Thursday morning, vinmopololet.no,
Speaker: and you can order them and get them delivered to your house if you wanted to. um so But be quick because there's a good chance that all the stores all the stores will snap them up first.
Speaker: And if they snap up everything, then it's all gone. So you have to be quick. And then you have to go to the Minamon Apollo. Then you actually have to find a store that has it and then or basically order it or go pick it up yourself there.
Speaker: So um get on that if you're interested. Holy Ghost in the tank. Oh, really? Yeah. Woohoo. Let's go, Kieran.
Speaker: So it's in the tank, um dry hopping in, I don't know, 10, 11 days from now. and And then after the dry hop has been yeah dropped out, then we'll add the chili and it will be exciting to see how it turns out.
Speaker: So this one's going to be a big release on Cannes through the Wine Monopoly. and going to produce more cans than I've ever produced. So good.
Speaker: Something like, we'll see how many you get out of the batch, but somewhere between 1,600 to cans, um depending on how many k cake kegs I want to do of the beer as well.
Speaker: And then, yeah, it's happening. So that's exciting to see where that will go. Nice, dude. but i'm Going back to the wine, sorry. Yeah.
Speaker: Is it going to be available in Sweden too since it's the same kind of system that goes into? No. um That has to be as a whole other thing with the Swedish system there.
Speaker: Okay. okay um there's My distributor, MBS, is kind of dragging their feet with that whole thing. ah So I actually, I've tried to follow up several times on it and never had any feedback on it, so I don't really know what's going on.
Speaker: um so I'm going to have to talk to them about it. um And, yeah, so other than that, it's been an interesting day week of wrestling with fear.
Speaker: Fear? Yeah. Yeah, it's been just been reflecting a little bit about fear in our decision making and why we make decisions like, you know, a i mean, I think you could probably relate to this in many different ways. I think everyone can because fear is just a human characteristic. Yeah. um But i was thinking about this, like I had an opportunity pop up where I had
Speaker: a potential to take a full-time job. It would only be a short-term contract. um And there was a ah thought that that taking that job might provide might provide an opportunity later that I might want, but the job itself wasn't appealing at all.
Speaker: In fact, I didn't want to take that particular job. So i i made it ah started thinking about it, and realizing that, like, why do i why am I considering this opportunity?
Speaker: Is it because I'm afraid that I'll miss out on something else that i actually do want? And then I realized ah can't ah can't live like that. You can't live with this, like, thing of, like, I'm going to make a decision because I'm afraid of missing out on something.
Speaker: Like, that's just counterproductive. So i made I basically decided, no, I'm not going to take that opportunity because um it's not going to put me on the trajectory that I want.
Speaker: So you said, fuck FOMO. Yeah, it's like, yeah, fuck FOMO. Fear missing out. I wanted to talk a little bit about fear because there's it's kind of like, I guess there's about like five versions of fear and I wondered which one sort of you are more...
Speaker: Well, I guess in your case, what you feel is more your you problem okay with fear. So from my understanding of fear, there's like a fear of failure. Yeah.
Speaker: There's a fear of uncertainty. There's also a fear of financial instability because I think a lot of people suffer from this when trying to make a decision job stuff, right? Yeah.
Speaker: There's also a fear of rejection. Yeah. And there's a crazy one that I know of. It's just a fear of success. Yeah, you know, there's there's that self-sabotaging fear.
Speaker: And then there's one more, which is fear, which is ah like a 1996 horror movie with Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker: You know, i I think fear is like ah an interesting thing. it's Obviously, it's necessary for survival in many senses. Like if you don't fear the lion and you're like, oh, hey there, kitty. You know, ra fucking you're dead, right?
Speaker: But um there so that there is necessary fear. But I think the problem in our modern day society is um our brain is a predictive machine.
Speaker: Right. So we're always trying to predict the outcome of something and fear height can hijack that predictive methodology to try and control an outcome.
Speaker: And, and so i think ultimately it come ah fear, like true fear comes down to self-worth. Like, yeah. How, how do I value me?
Speaker: how do I value me? Do I like me? Do I like me as a person? And I think you find someone who doesn't struggle with fear in the same way that most people do. And you probably find this pretty self-confident person.
Speaker: Um, you know, and so like so I'm going to say this as a straight outright, like I am by far not that person. Like I, I wrestle with fear constantly.
Speaker: Um, Do I wrestle with fear as much as some other people? Maybe not. I don't know. But i can I can be honest with myself and say i i wrestle with it. I wrestle with the – for me, I think it you know if you're going to go back to that list you were talking about, it's probably fear of missing out or of – and fear of
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, like there can be like it can be a lot of things realistically, but it's probably more to do with like fear of the future, fear of what what you can't control. um yeah Yeah, I mean, letting go.
Speaker: yeah and just accepting what is. heard a really interesting um acronym for fear. and don't know if I ever told you about this one. No, tell me.
Speaker: It's ah fear, false evidence appearing real. Yeah. And that's it's like interesting too because like given the scenario, let's say, for example, you're at work.
Speaker: ah you're right You have like a regular job or whatever and your boss is looking at you and he's like, fuck, Stian. I'm just throwing a name out there. What a fantastic worker.
Speaker: Fantastic guy. Love him. Can't wait till things turn around in this business. I'm going to give him a promotion. Right? And you see him looking at you and you're like, what's he thinking about?
Speaker: He's thinking about firing me. I'm going to lose my job. Right? So then you double down and you work super hard to try and like earn your worth in the company. Right?
Speaker: And then what happens? You exhaust yourself. Try because it's coming out of the wrong place. And you're exhausted. And then you make mistakes. And then you fuck up. And you fuck up again.
Speaker: And then the fear just continues to cripple you. And eventually, what happens? You lose your job because you stopped performing. Or because you're afraid.
Speaker: Well, you know, what's interesting about fear, too, is like, I think a lot of people would say, like, oh, I'll take a stable job, you know, with the company. And that's the safe option. But is it?
Speaker: I mean, i mean you don't you don't have any control. I mean, i've worked I've worked at several businesses and been permitted, like temporary, made temporarily unemployed.
Speaker: Like I worked for Orst, one of the biggest brews in the country, and i had ah in the space of four years, I had three perminterings, Varschel, like three temporary in four years. Like that's nearly one a year.
Speaker: oh Like nothing is nothing is secure. and Well, that's the thing. Like, if you think about it, what we are doing, trying to run our own businesses, which is, you know, to be honest, it's hard for me to say I'm running a business. because ah But, you know, like, there is more certainty because you you are in control.
Speaker: Yeah, i mean, you have the final say on how much money you make. If you don't do the work or you have the wrong product, but it's your fault.
Speaker: You have no one else to blame but yourself if things are going bad. yeah And also, have only yourself to pat on the back to say if everything's going good too. So you have more control in your own business than you do with someone else's.
Speaker: Because what happens, you go to work and they're like, you know what, we're a budget, things not going well, we're downsizing, see you later. ah All of a sudden you have to move jobs again.
Speaker: Whereas if you run your own company, you know that things are not going well. You can see the forest are you in the trees. Yeah, so so you start making decisions to get yourself out of that problem.
Speaker: Yeah. The problem is if you are that in your own business and you're fearful of things going wrong, things that you you get like deer in headlights and you don't make clear decisions.
Speaker: Yeah. So the challenge is to is to wrestle with fear. And I think that's ah the biggest is an inner journey in terms of Who am I and do I like me?
Speaker: You know? It sounds a bit woo-woo, doesn't it? it sounds true It's true. It's true. Without that thing of like, because if you don't like you, you're going to live reactively to everyone else, what everyone else's opinion of you is.
Speaker: Right? i think it really I think it's really fascinating. I just have to say this, that the Bible says, do not fear 365 times exactly.
Speaker: yeah Okay, that's interesting. Isn't that really fascinating? One for every day of your of every year. Do not fear. Do not fear. Do not fear. Right? Obviously, in the in the context of the Bible, there's all a manner of different contexts there.
Speaker: But I think that's a really fascinating... like fascinating fact that there is there is a an ancient text that has a do not fear for every day.
Speaker: And that's a reminder of like, things I mean, even Jesus himself said, don't fear about what you're going to eat, what you're going to dress yourself with, how you're going pay your bills.
Speaker: Like there's like, there's like a big thing about that. the Like that's one of the clearest messages on the, I think it's from the Beatitudes or like just from the Sermon on the Mount.
Speaker: Um, anyway, um, But there's there's a real interesting correlation there there's yeah between spirituality and and not fearing.
Speaker: Now, you might be like, spirituality, oh, I didn't sign on to this podcast. But but i don't if if you're are happy living in fear, then great.
Speaker: But for those who aren't, who want to make a change, like, yeah, you're worth you're worth doing the journey. Well, what changes you're making, Kieran? Because obviously you've been pretty self-diagnosing that you've you've had fear and you're you're having troubles sort of deciding whether to take a full-time job or know going all in in the business or you all these sort of things. like what what are your What's your coping mechanism with this fear that you've been experiencing?
Speaker: I think it's the biggest thing is is to be able to catch that it's fear you're operating out of ah before you start making decisions based on that and try and make decisions that that are more in line with with who you are and what you want truly.
Speaker: not what you think you want, not what you, you know, oh, so well, how am I going to pay for my new Tesla or whatever? Like that that's a fear-based response.
Speaker: um The reality is is that we can live with a lot less than what we have, a lot less. Like the reality is you just need food and shelter, like a warm place and food and you should be fine.
Speaker: Like no one's going to die. You know? But we... I said this to Kenny from Patten Machines. is You know, ah drive a shitty car for a reason.
Speaker: It's to keep the costs down so that I can do what I do. Yeah, it's a choice, isn't it? it's that's That's the reality. Is it more important to be seen as a success or is it more important to be a success?
Speaker: Well, in my opinion, like I'm successful already. Well, that, I mean, that's what I mean, right? It's the, the being of success is internal. Because like, if you write this down on paper, what do I do every day to go to work? I mean, yes, I have a day job that I go to two to three times a week. Right.
Speaker: But,
Speaker: My main job is in the garage. Right. And most of the I'm doing something I really want to do. and that is my job. That's what I call my job.
Speaker: Now, don't get me wrong. There's stresses and there's there's a bunch of stuff with putting your work out there. There's fears that come up with that. Is it good enough? blah, blah. blah Right. But on paper, I'm living the dream.
Speaker: Right. Already. Right. And I somehow make it work financially. So why would I go put myself into more debt to get a fancier car to flex in front of somebody that doesn't give a shit about me? Because that's another thing because I've realized no one actually cares about me. No, this is the thing. It's like you want you want a Ferrari to make yourself feel good or like or to show your success to other people.
Speaker: I'm sorry, but anyone who buys a Ferrari for that reason – Like, unless you're literally like, I want to drive this car really fast on a racetrack. Like, and that's your jam.
Speaker: Fucking great. But if you're like, I just want to drive around a Ferrari because it's cool. Sorry to say, but like, small dick syndrome. You know, like, you're just trying to impress people to make yourself feel better about who you are.
Speaker: What does it say about me trying trying to build a world rally car, Kieran? Ha, ha, ha, ha. Big ball syndrome, that's what that is. Yeah, that's what I like to think. Yeah, big ball syndrome, that's what it is. Yeah.
Speaker: So um it's just, I mean, well, a big ball, a small dick person wouldn't wouldn't make it themselves, Justin. That's true. They would try and buy it, the easy quick fix for self-recognition and self-value.
Speaker: i think I think that is a little bit of where I've turned the tide on fear. Mm-hmm. Is just not caring what other people think. I still care, don't get me wrong.
Speaker: But, like, I care a lot less. Because I've realized that, like, there are people that know exactly what I get up to. Mm-hmm. you know You see them watching your stories and you see see them around town, and but they'll never acknowledge you.
Speaker: So that what they're doing is they're waiting for you to fail so that they can say to themselves, see, he tried and he failed. I don't have to do this.
Speaker: I don't have to do anything crazy and scary like that to feel like I'm living my life. So those people, why would I care about them? Why would i have a fear of failure in front of them?
Speaker: They want me to fail so they can feel better. Well, it's the thing is that everyone everyone's comparing themselves against everyone else. Well, not everyone. but Those who are worried, who are scared, who are like they're looking at their neighbor and what they have and saying, I should have that or I shouldn't have that, or I'm better than them, or whatever. And like judgment, judgment of other people, that's a sign that you're insecure.
Speaker: Well, which is pretty much everybody. Yeah, but like we – but that's – think that's a humbling thing to acknowledge that we all are in this boat together.
Speaker: so let's just fucking treat each other nicely. but You know? Well, I think to the real reason you need to have what, like, for example, for what I do, Kieran is like, you need to have a real understanding why you're actually doing it in the first place.
Speaker: And the truth is I am looking for affirmation that I'm good enough. Hmm. But I'm very aware of that. So when I don't get it, I'm like, okay, it doesn't matter.
Speaker: I know I am good enough. But it's really nice when you get affirmations. Yeah, it's like you appreciate them, right? If you can understand your core motivations, you can better adapt to when things don't go the way you want.
Speaker: But I'm still willing to put my work out there for people to be able to try it and taste it. Well, that's the thing too, because like I've been thinking about this a little bit for my own project. Yeah.
Speaker: and So it's the other week I talked to you about this idea of doing like a series of beers based on a poem. Yeah. And like Lynn said to me the other day, like, no one's going to get this.
Speaker: And I said, but don't give a fuck. ah just I just think it's cool. I just want to do it because I think it's mad. Like it's art. And art has no other reason than express oneself.
Speaker: I agree. And the world is richer by the creation of art, the expression of self. Hmm. I mean, no one, like, if we're if we're all just fucking factory workers churning out the same shit, like, we we don't, like, what is what is the world without music?
Speaker: What is the world without, like, beautiful things made, you know? Not for materialistic desire, but more like, Just to acknowledge that existence is more than what it is for us today.
Speaker: But what's funny is you build something crazy, right? Mm-hmm. And then it becomes a materialistic thing because it's so different.
Speaker: Like the the you get like, you've heard about this early adopters and then the when the masses get it, yeah it goes out like this bell curve shape, you know, of of adoption of the of an idea, right?
Speaker: So, for example, we're talking about, let's talk about your beer, right? Mm-hmm. You're right at the bottom of the bell curve. You're in this process of building and building and building until you reach a point where a mass amount of people understand what you're going for and understand the product and adopt it.
Speaker: So the road up to that point takes a long time. Yeah, exactly. And you need to focus on these people that actually enjoy the product. Yeah. to help you build the brand up to this. Like there was a point when the iPhone came out where all these like tech heads the were really onto the iPhone, right? And they're like, yeah, this iPhone's so sick. You know, the new iPhone, wow.
Speaker: You know, look at these apps and the things. And most people were like, I like playing Snake on my Nokia. Yeah, right. yeah And people were don't need that fancy iPhone.
Speaker: yeah And then all of a sudden it just tipped a point. yeah And everyone's like realizing, wait a second. This is a game changer. The iPhone is a game changer. I need to get an iPhone. Yeah.
Speaker: I remember that myself, right? I remember thing like being on the fence like, oh, should I get an iPhone? like it's kind It's kind of expensive and like... The other side of it is like, do would I really use those apps? And then the second I got it, was like, did I live without this device?
Speaker: And I think it can be the same with your beers, right? It's like yeah I find that you've often said to me about your products, you're not very happy with it.
Speaker: And then, of course, they don't sell well. Of course, like you if you're not behind them 100%. Well, the other side of that is art right? Like how, how like hundred percent satisfied are you with every project that you make?
Speaker: Oh, there's always things that I don't like. Right. But I'd never really say them. yeah Have you heard me in a video saying, I didn't like this about my project? No, no, no. No, I never say the problems that I have with the product. I think, to be honest, it's it's a it's easier to, and this like comes back to fear, yeah?
Speaker: It's easier for me to shoot myself down. it feels less violent against myself lets ah to then have someone else say it.
Speaker: Which is bullshit because I've never heard anyone say it's horrible product. No, this this is the irony of the situation. But it's like it bigots because it's a fear. You think, oh, well, you know what? I had that treehouse beer once and it was fucking amazing. And that's the level i want the product at. And it's not there yet.
Speaker: So therefore, it's not the best in the world. and And therefore, I need to shoot myself down before I even get a chance to release to the world and let the people decide. But here's the thing, right?
Speaker: someone's going to drink that treehouse beer. And think it's shit. And think it's horrible. Yeah, right. And be like, what a waste of my time. Right? And then they'll pick up your beer and go, this is amazing.
Speaker: So why does it even matter what people think? It's so subjective, isn't it? It's so subjective. I mean, you can only you can see that on things like Untapped all the time. like Right. You know it yourself. Yeah. so But you let yourself feed into that fear that your product's not good enough for mass production.
Speaker: Absolutely. So it's it's a journey. Absolutely. And I think to to acknowledge that it is there and it is something you're working on is the first step towards conquering it.
Speaker: Dude, you showed me yesterday this little wooden case with a with a triple in it yeah that you were just playing an idea around. Dude, that is a gift box.
Speaker: Why wouldn't you explore that? And I try and put that in in the system for another product. Like, what is the fear there to try to make that work?
Speaker: Because I think if you had a nice glass with a Eucharist etching on it in that box,
Speaker: like Even if you made 50 kroners profit, europe because you're what's happening is you're you're getting... Often these people will buy this box set for someone they know who likes beer.
Speaker: Yeah. yeah right yeah So they're not into beer themselves. They're just buying a gift. right So they buy this box set because it looks cool and it looks like a present. yeah And then the person that gets it doesn't know Eucharist because Eucharist is a tiny little brewery. Right.
Speaker: Right? Yeah. The biggest challenge is – And they get it and they change their mind about Eucharist, right? The biggest challenge is they're here in Norway. I've got to develop the market outside of Norway for that product if that's going to happen because that product there, like with this case and if I had a glass – because you can't sell something like that at the wine monopoly.
Speaker: not with a Not with a glass inside. But what if you people don't know the glasses inside? Well, the wine monopoly is going to know. That's part of the thing. So it's like it's it's seen as advertising if that's the case and that's not allowed.
Speaker: but That seems ludicrous. It is ludicrous. 100% ludicrous. But that's just the way it goes. So you can have a nice case, but it can only contain beer. or the interesting Interesting. Yeah.
Speaker: So it can't have a glass or any promotional material inside. It has to be straight up product. Oh, interesting. So I need to find a new market for the product ah in order to launch the product in that way.
Speaker: and So that's what I'm working on. Samples have gone out internationally now. And we'll see if any reviews come back on those and any traction picks up from there. so how many How many samples you send out?
Speaker: um How many have I sent out? ah this There's been
Speaker: two to the UK, one to the Netherlands. a There's been...
Speaker: and dear I haven't bothered with the US, especially now with the tariffs coming in. That's going to be like a dead market. or at least Yeah, but Trump likes Norway. Yeah, the potential for ah ah someone picking up a product from their to from America low at the moment.
Speaker: We'll see how this tariff thing settles out. I call bullshit, Karen. I think this is a fear. I think we're going back into this. Like, oh, what about the terrorists? No one's going to pick it up. That's a fear. Well, to be honest, I don't have any good contact, good enough contacts in the US market.
Speaker: Not yet. No, but that's that's not to say it won't come up. But i i don't I didn't feel there was anyone that I found in the US, ah like influencers or whoever, that was...
Speaker: that was a prime candidate for the products. So haven't heard that yet. You just need to to those like Norwegian like places in the States, you know, that are like of all these immigrant Norwegians. Yeah, I just need to send it to North Dakota.
Speaker: Yeah, right. You know, they still say Hufta in North Dakota. Yeah. It's so crazy. So anyway. So anyway, but enough of that. where the The time is getting on. The people need people need more things from us, Justin. They need to know what's blowing your mind this week.
Speaker: i don't have anything. You don't have anything? I could say, oh i hold on, hold on. I think what's what really blew my mind is actually how cool my motorbike is.
Speaker: Hit the button.
Speaker: Mind blown. Have you blown yourself, Justin? Well, you know, use the exhaust pipes. yeah
Speaker: i' I'm really happy with it. Actually, I remember on Friday night just like smiling, you know, because I like, although the project's not finished, I haven't painted it yet, but like it works. Yeah, right. Roll around on it. You can get like, ah i didn't really tell you guys, but I took it down the road.
Speaker: Yeah. And got into third gear. The thing rips. yes Yeah. So it's still fun. And it's right like, ah i did nearly crash it too, because I was like, how do you break in the soul card?
Speaker: it like But i I felt so good about it, right? it' It's a thing that I've been working on for a couple of months now and finally it's operational. I can sit in it and and it noises. makes cool noises. and it you know noises but I mean, what else do you want from a bike? That's true. It needs to have the right noise to be a motorbike.
Speaker: a It has to be a little bit noisy, right? so So I think it just it feels really good. And, you know, I had the go-kart out too this weekend with the kids. You know, I was showing them like sort of what was a bit fun and cool to do on the go-karts. I was like out on the gravel and I did like, I did such a big donut that like in our gravel driveway right now, there's like an inch deep donut.
Speaker: that I think a lot of neighbors are like, what's going on here? can have to fill that one in later. Yeah. So your motorbike is blowing your mind? Yeah, why not?
Speaker: it is it It did, actually. It made me smile, definitely on Friday and Saturday. I felt really good that it was working and everything. It turned out like I envisaged it right?
Speaker: Yeah. and but That actually does blow my mind. Like the stuff I build actually does turn out the way I want it to turn out. Like I never have a blueprint.
Speaker: I never sit down and plan shit. I have this idea in my head and I just work out how to get to that point. Yeah. Awesome. And it blows my mind every time I get to that point and go, wow, it actually turned out. Kieran, what's blowing your mind? You know what's blowing my mind? A very complete change of direction.
Speaker: Yeah. And that is that a quantum superpositioning provides a feasible theory on life after death.
Speaker: Mind blown! I think you've been going into a rabbit hole here, Kieran. No, I came across this, the other an article talking about this the other day. And I was like, you know what? This really fascinating.
Speaker: You know, for all these people that are, you know, like obviously as a um ah theist of some kind, as in I have a belief in the divine, um i believe that the the body doesn't end after we die.
Speaker: And it's just really fascinating to see that the scientific world is coming up with theories about this as well. um And quantum super positioning is the the the idea that supports that theory.
Speaker: So and for those who don't know what quantum super superpositioning is, please explain. Everyone's like, what the hell it? The idea is that a particle like an electron can exist in multiple states at once until it is observed and measured.
Speaker: So like um being both here and there at the same time, but only... When you observe it, does it choose a state of being? As in, it chooses to be materialistic then in that moment.
Speaker: Mind blown.
Speaker: This got intense, Karen. I know. Right? But it's I think it's really fascinating. so just say So basically, the experiment was, that's it's a tried and tested experiment that they've done thousands upon thousands upon thousands of times.
Speaker: and They fire an electron out of an electron gun and shoot it through these, like they want to see if how it ah interacts when it hit this target. Right. And so they find out that when they put a measuring device in to watch the the proton electron shoot through these slits, i it acts like a like um like a particle.
Speaker: It hits in a single point. But then when they take the measurement voice device away and don't observe it, it acts like a wave function, like light.
Speaker: We've lost everybody on this podcast now. Everyone just turned love this stuff. I'm sorry. I get off on this stuff. But it's blowing my mind. If you're interested in this stuff, please...
Speaker: Google, do some research on quantum superpositioning. i think it's really fascinating. So that's what's blown my mind this week, Justin. It's amazing that quantum superpositioning gets you off just as much as building a deck.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: yeah Well, I mean, if it's it's like a, units I mean, you know what? It's kind of like you having an idea for your bike in your head. It's ah it's a non-physical thing. in It's a thought. It's an electrical pattern in your brain.
Speaker: And then you make it physical reality. There you go. You're outworking quantum mechanics in your own life, Justin.
Speaker: Wow.
Speaker: My blood. Not really by definition quantum mechanics, but you get my point. So, you know what's giving me the shits right now, Gary? Me talking about quantum mechanics?
Speaker: No, actually, to be honest, what's giving me shits this week? Do tell. Mums. Ooh. Who does number two?
Speaker: four What are we talking about? like soccer mums? Are we talking about like, what are we talking here? Careful mums. Right. So you know, I have my son, Henry. Yeah.
Speaker: You've got two boys. Yeah. ah Right. One of his friends came over and his father also came over. And I said, hey, come check out my motorbike and go come ride it. you know So he rode the motorbike and then he also rode the go-kart.
Speaker: And then i then his son and my son asked if they could drive the go-kart. So I said, yeah, sure. if it's up If it's okay with his dad, sure. yeah And his dad thought it was great. And I said, just make sure you wear helmets and you you don't take it easy.
Speaker: And they drove so slow, all of them. Right? Never got out of first gear. Right. Like, you can ride a bike way faster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Than this was going.
Speaker: Way faster. Then when the mum came to drop off some stuff, she was so worried. She's like, oh, what if they crash and hurt themselves? Like, they're going slower than on a bike. Right?
Speaker: like And they've got a motorcycle helmet on yeah and not just a shitty plastic helmet. like What is wrong with people? I'm sorry, why can't boys take risks?
Speaker: They need to take risks. That's what we do as boys. We take risks because otherwise we don't do anything. Right. Right? we're We're scared to do anything. like Everyone wants that protective...
Speaker: male person in their lives, right? Including sons, right? They want their dad to be a bit tough. Right. Like imagine if you your dad's a big wuss bag.
Speaker: Yeah. you don't look up to him. Well, not only that, be you don't feel safe. hundred percent 100%. So this is what I dislike about like women and mums.
Speaker: They're like, they try to tried to take that away from raising boys. Yeah, you know, it's a real thing. So she basically, she told Kevin to get off it.
Speaker: And you were like, don't worry, Kevin, as soon as she's gone, we'll get back on it.
Speaker: i The thing is, like, his father agreed. He's like, oh or well, he agreed in front of her, yeah but agreed with me that it was silly that he didn't get a chance to drive more.
Speaker: Yeah. Right? Yeah. yep So that's what's giving me the shits this week. Poor Kevin is going to be in therapy for the next 20 years dealing with that. but You know what's giving me the shits? A quick job when you're tired turns into a clusterfuck.
Speaker: Who does number So I was ah fixing the last details on my dick. and
Speaker: And I basically, i had this wall to put up and there was some prefab panels that i was I was putting up and I was screwing it all together. The rain was coming.
Speaker: i was it was the end of the day. I was like, I'll just get these last screws in and it's all done. Then misjudged the distance on something, managed to put a fucking screw in the wrong way, ripped the whole hole in the wrong place, ruined the whole fucking thing, to turned into a giant clusterfuck. And I don't think I'd said the word fuck out loud that many times in a long time, other than on this podcast.
Speaker: I was going to say, we had an episode that had like 26 bucks in like three minutes.
Speaker: ah You know, it's like you try, you I mean, obviously when your body just betrays you, you're like, I'm going to just do this one simple thing, put this screw into this piece of wood. And then you just make a slight, you know, adjustment failure because you're tired and that turns the whole thing into shit.
Speaker: Doesn't that tell you something, Kieran? Oh, absolutely. Just take it fucking easy. Just when you're tired, just put it to bed. That also happens with me too, right? yeah i I also know I'm tired.
Speaker: And in previous years, i would have just trudged on and then would have made a massive mistake. yeah And that would have cost me two days worth of work to fix that mistake. Now I'm getting a bit better to see like, oh, you're getting tired now.
Speaker: Put down the welding arc. Yeah, yeah you should get you should just not do any more. It's fine where it's at. Start again tomorrow. ah So, yeah, I think yeah wise advice, Kieran, through our shit segment. All right.
Speaker: Now is it time for me to sing? Yep. Recommendation, should recommendation. justin
