Meet Justin and Kieran: Garage Innovators
00:00:01
Speaker
This is the Garage Avenger podcast.
00:00:07
Speaker
We're a week from number five now? Week number five. That's right. Yeah. Cool, man. Yeah. Yeah. Well, hello and welcome to the Garage Avenger podcast. I'm Justin, the guy that builds dumb machines in his garage. And I'm Kieran, the guy who's brewing tasty beers in my garage.
00:00:30
Speaker
We are twin brothers with a passion for creating the wild and unexpected. We're taking you on a ride through our everyday lives in our garages. Didn't manage to fuck that one up. See that you've got a script. You fucking set me up to fail last week.
Sibling Rivalry and Creative Humor
00:00:53
Speaker
Isn't that what brothers are supposed to do? Like watch the other one crash and burn for comedy routines? Yeah.
00:01:00
Speaker
Yeah, what's that's probably love, isn't it? Watching the others demise. ah Yeah, yeah, what's been happening, bro? What have been doing? Ah, well,
The Hand Truck Go-Kart Adventure
00:01:13
Speaker
All right, full launch into me, I guess. Yeah. um Yeah, dude, this week I've been busy trying to get video number two for the pallet. Oh, the pallet. I keep on saying pallet. The hand truck go-kart.
00:01:28
Speaker
o um Yeah, so ah I don't know if I explained it in previous episodes, but basically I'm splitting the video into two halves. ah One sort of full build and testing.
00:01:41
Speaker
And then just ah another video that's just complete testing. and So ah testing ah drift sleeves on the back, which are like these PVC pipes that fit over the rear tires and make it super slippery. And you kind of drift around. That's the funnest thing ever. And ah top speed. So how fast it actually goes. like how Like, have I created the world's fastest hand truck? I don't know. <unk> Yeah. And then um ah I had this feeling I could get it to do wheelies, but I never really tested it. So tested that.
00:02:21
Speaker
So I've been in Omdubu, which is where my test track is. I've got ah a friend that has this, like, small... She just referred to it as the Garage Avenger test track. Just because it's like Top Gear then. You know, like the Top Gear test track. Yeah. Like the Garage Avenger test track. No one doesn't know it's like some friend of yours. ah Now this guy's got his own test track.
00:02:49
Speaker
Rich Perk, I'm not going to support him on Patreon.
00:02:56
Speaker
Yeah, unfortunately, that's ah not quite the truth. and I definitely don't have enough money for my own test track. But yeah, I was at the Garage Avenger test track ah on Wednesday, ah filming everything that I needed to film there, filming like sort of intro stuff there.
00:03:18
Speaker
Um, and then, so I, I had already filmed the drift sleeve stuff, uh, in the prior filming episode, I guess you'd call it or whatever you want to call it session. Uh, so I was just there to film the top speed and see if I could get it to do wheelies. Uh, it was a little weird because I had no one there. I was just there by myself. right Um,
00:03:43
Speaker
there, you know, on during the week, no one's there. Right. So, who yeah so I was like talking to the camera, trying to pretend that it was a person. weird I really just, I needed one person just like holding the camera or something. Right. Um, but, uh, I filmed that. I went out on the track, uh, to try and do a top speed run. Yeah. And, uh,
00:04:12
Speaker
Yeah, i I just kept on running out of track. I just couldn't get it to its top speed. I got into fourth gear and maybe had about one and a half to two seconds of full throttle in fourth gear. And then I had to brake because I just ran out of track. I didn't have enough space, right? I didn't want to fucking die on a truck go cut. So and can I, ah have you measured the speed in fourth gear for that two seconds?
00:04:42
Speaker
Yeah, i had I managed to clock 54 kilometres an hour. 54 kilometres an hour on a tan truck.
00:04:55
Speaker
It's pretty epic, actually. But I mean, I know, you I'm sure you can get think that thing faster if you had to track for it. Yeah. Well, yeah, like I didn't know how well it was geared. I had a feeling it wasn't geared to go fast because, you know, you get a general
Testing Challenges and Speed Dilemmas
00:05:11
Speaker
feeling if it's geared to go fast. So like it would would be fairly slow in the beginning and then it would ramp up speed. This thing has speed through like all the gears in the lower speed range, I guess you could say. Yeah. ah So I had this feeling that I wouldn't get over 70.
00:05:30
Speaker
kilometers an hour in it. So luckily for me, my test track, the garage of engine test track has a private road attached to it. So I took it out there and let her rip. And come on, you can't leave me hanging. You could tell me how how how fast did you go. Well, should you just leave that as a mystery for the videos that people have to have to click on the video to find out?
00:05:56
Speaker
i No, I can i could tell you. I managed to hit 61 kilometers per hour. That's the absolute max chickens. That didn't sound like much more than 54, but trust me, like when you got this thing winding out and you're pushing it hard, it's so low to the ground. It's such a short wheelbase. It's really twitchy. You know, 61 kilometers an hour, you're like,
00:06:24
Speaker
If it something goes wrong, I'm absolutely far. Did you go for like the full like racing suit for that one? No, no, I was wearing a t-shirt.
00:06:39
Speaker
I did wear my helmet, but I, yeah, I, um, I, 60, 61 kilometres an hour is fairly quick, you know, and, um,
00:06:52
Speaker
Like for such a small little thing on the ground, like solo to the ground. Yeah. It must feel like you're doing like a hundred. Yeah. And especially something that I. You build yourself. there's like but well Like, is it going to hold together?
00:07:10
Speaker
She's not gonna hold!
00:07:16
Speaker
That never came into my head, Ciaran. That's the first thing that would have come to my head if I was fucking fanging that thing down the straight. Just like Scottish voice popping into my head. like yep She's not going to make it!
00:07:33
Speaker
That's the worst Scottish accent ever. That was terrible. Awesome. So you hit this say top your top speed. yeah Did you have to change your underwear afterwards?
00:07:49
Speaker
ah No, no, no, no, I was I was good. I took a couple of runs at it just because so some inside story which you won't see in the video is that I was having some issues with like fuel and like the carburetor didn't seem to I don't know something was weird with it. It just didn't want to run right. um And so I kept on tweaking like the choke a little bit because something was like it seemed to run better with just a slight bit of choke. Like the tiniest type of choke it it seemed to run better. So on my first run it did it kind of like didn't quite
00:08:31
Speaker
Do it right. I don't know how to explain it right. It didn't, it didn't feel like it was like 100% on it. So I, on the second run, I tweaked with the, I tweaked the throttle or the choke and I managed to get it run much nicer and it seemed to just smoothly get straight up to 60.
00:08:51
Speaker
and then, you know, just hold. Like i if I was going downhill, I think I probably got a little bit faster, but, you know, with the way it's geared. So I have like a 37 tooth gear on the back and there's a 15 tooth gear on the actual drive. right yeah and And so, you know, ah basically...
00:09:17
Speaker
without changing that gearing, I can't go any faster. it's just That's the max chickens the engines who engine wants to give. yeah you know And if I change the rear sprocket ah to a smaller sprocket, and maybe like a 20.
00:09:34
Speaker
70 kilometers an hour. like yeah you You'll get you might you'll get a top like a higher speed, top speed, but like you it won't be, it'll take you a lot longer to get there. Yeah, of course. Because the engine, like you don't you lose all the torque. Right. um So you need a longer runway, like a longer road.
00:09:55
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, which would have been fine where I was doing it. It's quite long and I like fairly safe. Yeah. You were mentioning to me the the Yalzburg airfields and seeing if you could use their their runway. Yeah. Yeah, they they won't take my calls. I was just like imagining some awesome like Top Gear style video where you're fucking racing a plane down the runway. That would have been so mad. On a bloody hand truck go-kart. Yeah, that would have been so mad. ah And then like, yeah, that would be... Dreams. One day. That that could be like the next, the WRC car maybe.
Torque, Stunts, and Childhood Memories
00:10:40
Speaker
yeah Yeah, I mean, yeah, I've got some updates with that project too. ah So yeah, ah going back to keeping the torque in the engine, I'm glad I didn't change the gearing because when I was trying to do wheelies, I think it's really it's really important you have the torque in the engine to to be able to try and lift the front wheels up. Yeah.
00:11:00
Speaker
Um, so after my top speed run, I was pretty happy. Um, it did the best it could do. Uh, and so I decided I was going to try and do wheelies and like, I've never really done wheelies before. I'm not like this kind of wheelie guy. I wasn't like a motorcycle enthusiast doing wheelies or anything. Um, you know, I was pretty shit on my bike. actually when i was going up i like My son asked me, like, how do you do wheelies? And I'm like,
00:11:30
Speaker
ah Your dad was kind of shit at that stuff. I remember that time when you were like, went out to like, uh, you know, we used to have a paper run and used to do the paper run and they're like trying to get home as fast as possible. I think he had the bike loaded up with newspapers or whatever and slid around the corner and to deliver newspapers and slid out onto the main road under a truck and then came back with all this fucking gravel rash down your leg. I'm like, yep. He knows how to ride bikes, that guy.
00:12:00
Speaker
Yeah. ah
00:12:04
Speaker
I still actually have scars on my legs for them from that crash. Really? Yeah. Yeah. On my hip and on my knees. Wow. Yeah. And I also have other scars from riding bicycles. We weren't destined for two wheels, bro. We weren't designed to wear a four wheel.
00:12:27
Speaker
genetic line here. Well a couple weeks ago was for a couple weeks ago I was at a friend's house and he had like a little pit bike and he's like oh yeah it's really easy to wheelies on this thing and I'm like oh yeah as I jumped on it and I tried to do wheelie I fucking nearly flipped the thing. I suck at wheelies I don't know why why even try but anyway ah Took the go guard out there. Set up the camera. Set up the camera like I had people actually watching, but no one was there. Right. I'm so lonely. So lonely.
00:13:06
Speaker
Yep. Yeah. And then literally just... Are you gonna like put in those like post, post editing camera movements and shit? Does it look like someone's holding it? Yeah, maybe, I don't know.
00:13:20
Speaker
um But yeah, got out there, put the camera in several different positions, and decided I was going to give it. So it what originally, how when you drive it normally, it kind of when you slam it sort of into second gear,
00:13:39
Speaker
and lean back a little bit, it wants to lift up. Right. Right. So I was thinking, that's exactly what I'm going to do, but I'm really going to lean back into it. Yeah. And it lifts, but it's not like, you know, proper, like in the air wheelie type of stuff. And then I was thinking, what if I just like sit in the one spot, rev the absolute tits out of the engine, just slam it into gear? Yeah. So that's what I end up doing. And the Yeah, it's pretty impressive. I got easily 45 degrees up in the air. like the wheels Back on or is that bar is that little truck like the
00:14:21
Speaker
plate on the back stop you from flipping over. The plate on the back I think would stop me from flipping over but I never got it to touch. Okay. So the front wheels suddenly I'm not impressed. No, I know. I'm like I want a fucking full like 80 degrees.
00:14:44
Speaker
right I mean, here's here's the thing, like I was like the front wheels were easily like 60, 70 centimeters from the ground. Yeah. You know, like it's not, it wasn't a little wheelie, it was like a proper wheelie. Now, did you like roll a little bit whilst you were doing this? Or was it just like a lift and then drop?
00:15:06
Speaker
When you change, it well you kind of, first gear you kind of run out of juice ah pretty quickly, so you have to change gear into second. Second, as soon as you hit second, the nose drops and then you hit second. If you're quick with the second and hold the throttle down, you get a like a half wheelie in second as well.
00:15:25
Speaker
But um no, it's the more the more spectacular is in first. And I was I was going to do it like just slam it in second gear. Yeah. But it's with this, there's no clutch in this gearbox. Yeah, right. It's like a it's like an autumn like a semi-auto. So you can't really like rev it and then slam it two gears. it does into You can't have it in second gear and just drop the clutch because it just doesn't work. So that's one downside of that engine is you can't be in second gear, drop a clutch and and do like a wheelie longer than you would have if you if you were in second, in first gear, I should say. Yeah. It reminds me of Uncle Gav's sputter.
00:16:11
Speaker
Yeah, so ah maybe you should explain that. Well, we have an uncle, Uncle Gavin, and he has this old Mazda R. Is it R100? Is that what it is? Yeah. Yeah. And it's like it looks like a grandma car, but like fucking hell with fucking flies. It's got like a rotary engine with a fucking other with some huge fucking turbo on the top.
00:16:35
Speaker
And yeah when you yeah when you hit the gas, the front wheels lift off the ground. yeah it's ah It's a 13B, but it's monster ported and it's a racing engine, so it's insane. It's the the craziest car you've ever been in. And it's so small. It's exactly like this, like strapping a ah rocket to this um hand truck go-kart. It's just like that. yeah ah But I would say though, Kieran, that is not the fastest car I've ever been in. In fact, this week, okay I've been in the fastest thing I've ever driven in my life. All right, detail, detail. So, I've been, this week also, I've been driving
Future Projects and Creative Anxiety
00:17:27
Speaker
in spirals and I've been spiraling into this new project.
00:17:34
Speaker
is that like that Is that a segue? No, that's just that's exactly what's ah what's been happening. so <unk> So on Friday, I headed up to a place called Sperallen, the spiral yeahp yeah in English. It's translated to, and yeah, I dropped in with you. It's a local fixture of the Drummin' area where I live. I dropped in with you. You were busy freaking out about something. You can talk about that after. yeah So I had to go there myself.
00:18:11
Speaker
This is a 1.6 kilometer, so a one mile long spiral tunnel inside a mountain. It has so six rotations ah and it's kind of really special actually.
00:18:28
Speaker
So the idea was that I was going to drive this sand truck go-kart up this spiral tunnel. Yeah. So I went there and to do a bit of scouting to make sure everything was going to be good because we were going to do the driving on the Saturday. and So I went there.
00:18:50
Speaker
And I got down to the bottom of the hill. I got out of the car and I took some like small video footage. I looked around like there's these big security cameras, like overlooking the the entrance there. And I thought, okay, I'll just, I'll jump back in the car. We'll drive up. We'll see how it feels um driving up this thing. So I'm driving up this thing and I get into the like the first rotation of the of the tunnel. Yeah. You get a little dizzy going up, don't you? Well, different not me because I'm tough and you're a wussbag. That's my low blood pressure or something, I don't know. But yeah, I was i was you know driving up this spiral and after like the first one and a half rotations, I'm like,
00:19:39
Speaker
This is boring. It's kind of boring. It's kind of boring. yeah why Why did I think this was a good good idea? I don't understand. I think if you could see outside, like if it wasn't just a fucking tunnel, it'd probably be more exciting. Yeah, you're probably right. Yeah. That's like literally under a mountain.
00:20:01
Speaker
Yeah. Like if you went through the mountain and wrote like a quarter of the rotation was like open and you could see the mountain as you went up. That would be sick, right? Yeah. So I got to the top and I realized like this is not going to be good on video either. Like my viewers is going to be bored out of their brains. Yeah. ah And also like there's cameras everywhere.
00:20:26
Speaker
I'm just thinking like like, if something happens, if the police decide, you know, like you went and drove this go-kart up this mountain. A non-registered vehicle.
00:20:37
Speaker
And then all of a sudden they're like, Hey ah Justin, ah you need to give us your license now because because you drove up this stupid boring spiral tunnel. I'm like, yeah I don't know the risk is worth a growth the reward. so yeah Uh, yeah, I decided at that point that I was just going to be like, nah, the spiral tunnel is out. I'm not going to drive it. This is not going to be part of the video. So that was kind of disappointing to be honest.
00:21:10
Speaker
but but but mccaque butcaque but but
00:21:15
Speaker
It's true, I am a fucking chicken. i i meet because i was like oh you When you're telling me about it, I'm like having a mild anxiety attack about it. You get like fucked ah by the authorities and like they'll be like, nope, we're taking your license and leave the fucking country.
00:21:32
Speaker
like It's like a trick. That's why I was like, nah, I don't know, just maybe it's not that great. And then I'm like, well, I'll let you do your thing. Because you were very convinced at the time when we were talking about it. You were like, this is going to be awesome. No one's going to care. You know, worst case no, you're going to slap on the wrist. Well, to be honest, if the tunnel was sick and it looked visually sick to drive up,
00:22:00
Speaker
and like wasn't boring, I probably would have done it because I would risk reward, right? yeah But there there was no reward. no right Like ah after driving, and I was just like snore.
00:22:12
Speaker
this sh yeah like ah Don't give you on tops really nice yeah but don get me wrong, if I full send it, Like, if I had, if I had full-sended that go-cut up and I was drifting the whole way up, yeah and I could smoke, like the tyres could smoke up and like, ah you know, it was a proper, like, epic drift up six six three so you know six spirals up the fucking mountain. Like, for sure, I would do it. And the risk is worth the reward.
00:22:43
Speaker
But I can't do that. One, I'm shit at driving. Two, the go-kart won't do that. No. Right? Like, even with the drift sleeves on. You never get up a fucking hill. No, with the drift sleeves, I couldn't get up the hill. I would just, I would get like maybe halfway up the first turn and I'd be like, oh crap, I'm stuck now.
00:23:07
Speaker
ah So, yeah, I mean, I just did, I don't have the power in the go kite and neither do I have enough steering, I think, too to hold the drift. and That's another thing that we found out when we had the drift sleeves on, I need a little bit more like steering angle to to be able to hold the drift a bit longer. Yeah. And tighter. But yeah. Yeah.
00:23:29
Speaker
so
00:23:31
Speaker
Chicken out on that. and But I was thinking about something this week and I was thinking about this new WRC project and I've been freaking out a little bit about this.
00:23:48
Speaker
R6, Yamaha R6 engine that we're using for this project and rebuilding. So I i went and bought this week too, like a set of plans for building a crosscut. So the idea was that we're going to build a crosscut chassis.
00:24:05
Speaker
And we're going to put the engine in there and then we're going to 3D print the body over the top of that. o And it just ended up turning into like more and more. I was having nearly fucking anxiety attacks about like thinking the process through, like how many things I need to do to get this project operational.
YouTube Success and Content Creation
00:24:24
Speaker
Right.
00:24:24
Speaker
And, you know, I'm a YouTube channel. I'm trying to get this YouTube channel off the ground. I'm trying to get some followers. Like a five year process the way it was. Yeah, it's a massive project. Yeah. And I think, too, like I just want to touch on this really quickly, too, with YouTube. Like if you remember last week, I was helping a friend edit his video.
00:24:45
Speaker
o And that video went really well. Yeah, I saw like ah the other day, like I just checked in there, i'd like half a million views already and like released 18 hours ago.
00:24:56
Speaker
And I was like, motherfuck. Wow, that's crazy. It wasn't, it wasn't, yeah it wasn't no forges video. It was like for his own video, which I helped to edit. Right. And I think it's I don't know where it's at now. I i imagine it's around 120,000 views. Yeah. You know, and I saw his channel explode before on the Monday.
00:25:18
Speaker
He had 365 subscribers yeah ah today. I think he's got nearly 9,000 subscribers. I don't know. I need to double check his channel, but like, you know, that's crazy. And he's like, he's done so well with the video because of Nerdforge. And it made me think about, like, I still need to have some success. You know, I need to put my work out there before I start spending, you know, 12 to 18 months building this crazy big project. um but On a side note, can can you like, who can you collaborate with? Like, the they crazy go-kart building equivalent of Nerdforge?
00:26:07
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I've been looking at some guys, but a lot of them are not nearby. No. Do you know what I mean? They're not like locals. So it's really, it's a bit harder. Um, there's a guy in Sweden that I kind of want to collab a little bit with, but I don't know. Well, I guess we'll find out. You can always get like nerd forged too. Like, you know, you can build like a castle go kart or something.
00:26:36
Speaker
Like a Hogwarts, whatever, lifestyle, vehicle. I mean, well, they do all like like the latest video from nord for Nerd Forge. I watched that one actually. I really enjoyed it. That was the Space Marine one. So if you're into like Sindel miniatures, check out Nerd Forge. It was pretty good. I think. Yeah. I remember that stuff when when I was a kid and like to pretend like I knew what I was doing.
00:27:04
Speaker
like playing the game. I just like the little figures and painting them. That's all I liked. I mean, there is a game you can play with them, but I never got into that really. So, yeah but just I'm just saying now, so he's got one hundred and thirty six thousand views on that video. Yeah. And his channel went from three hundred and sixty five to now eight thousand five hundred and eighty thousand but like subscribers. Yeah. And he let's have a look here now. He's got nine hundred and twenty two comments.
00:27:43
Speaker
Jesus. So it was the last time you got Zara just... ah Maybe you need to get into like nerdy like things like that. 3D printing. Did... like I... part of me agrees with this.
00:28:04
Speaker
But the truth is like, I don't love it. I just, it wouldn't be me, right? so And that's a great thing about Thomas, you know, he's really into that stuff. yeah And that was a perfect match for him, right? Nerdforge, they're really nerdy and into that stuff.
00:28:23
Speaker
and It was a good, like, it was a really good collab. Yeah. I like how, like, in the video, they made it sound like, oh, we've got this, like, people coming in, like, two days, and we just, like, knock up this, this helmet. It's probably, like, what, three months of work or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, so so insider knowledge, from what I understand, is that, you know, like, and Thomas had three months to work on this thing. Yeah.
00:28:50
Speaker
and and get it ready, basically. And then, you know, the the the guys that came to paint the suit of armor were there for about a week and a half. so yeah yeah But they just, you know, talked it up, basically. yeah that's why That's how you increase engagement, right? I mean, Australians too, like Australian, that's table time, I think the go the channel's called. Yeah, Australian Sindel miniature painters.
00:29:19
Speaker
he's All the way to Norway to paint a giant space marine. That's pretty crazy. ah I mean, I mean, was it an endorsement for some like Warhammer video game? Yeah, yeah, that's right. There's where your money is behind this. So it's got to sell your soul for something, Justin.
00:29:43
Speaker
Yeah, something something will come up. Look, you know as it it did affect me, but I am telling myself always, like It will happen when it happens. Like you have to learn something before this happens, right? And don't get me wrong, Thomas has been doing this type of work for years and his quality of craftsmanship is outstanding. And he deserves everything he's getting right now.
00:30:15
Speaker
Yeah. And you're like looking at the welds on your go kart and you're like 100%. I'm like, my, my workmanship is not good enough yet. Well, it's not falling apart. So it can't be that bad. Nah, exactly. and i mean Hit 61 kilometers an hour without fucking falling apart. So, you know, without basically turning yourself into a giant cannonball.
00:30:44
Speaker
Well, going back to going fast, right? Okay. Yeah. You said du this is a really long segue. We totally diverged there. ah Yeah. You were going really fast. You drove something really fast. What was it? So I went back down to Al-Nabu because I've been thinking about changing the platform for this WRC car to a go-kart chassis. I've seen other people do like miniature cars and use go-kart chassis. And I thought, you know what?
00:31:14
Speaker
you know, why not use a go-kart? Now, I knew this guy that we actually met when we were doing the palette go-kart test a couple of months ago, and he has this, ah what is it called? KZ2 go-kart? It's a 1.256 speed go-kart, two-stroke. So it's better than yours, basically.
00:31:41
Speaker
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's OK. So I spoke to him about it. we The idea was that we're going to turn this into the WRC car. I said to him, look, I know it runs. I've seen it run. so But it would be really good for me to understand how it works and how it drives and stuff. Can we drive it? He's like, yeah. So he set it up for us. And he gave me a bit of ah a bit of a tip on how to how to drive it.
00:32:10
Speaker
And I jumped in this thing and I was putting along, you know, it was like, and it's a two stroke. So anyone that doesn't know anything about two strokes is two strokes have like a power band.
00:32:22
Speaker
where they hit, it's like a giant turbo that hits, right? So I'm putting along and he said to me before I jumped in, he's like, it really likes to rev, so just rev the tits out of it. right And so I'm driving along, I come around this long sweeping corner and I just step on it and give it some gas.
00:32:45
Speaker
It was like I was going into hyperspace, man. Thing was so fast. And I was like, i that was in second gear. And I got into third gear. And I immediately, when I was in third gear, I thought, what the hell are you doing in third gear? This is insane. It was so fast. It was so scary. It was so aggressive. Like when when I changed gears,
00:33:12
Speaker
and the power band hit, you could not hold your head up. It just threw it back. Like, it was so aggressive. It was so fast. And I was just like, oh, okay, it's inside. Let's go. So, I haven't bought it yet, but there's a strong chance I'm going to be buying this go-kart pretty soon. Okay.
00:33:39
Speaker
for this ah world rally car project. so ah It is so fast, like like ludicrous fast. And it just, like I've been in a lot of fast cars. i As a young man, I had a, what they call a baby Godzilla, which was like a four-wheel drive Nissan Sunny or Nissan Pulsar. ah You know, it was 300 and,
00:34:08
Speaker
90 horsepower, you know, weighed nothing. You know, it was a really quick car. And I've driven other people's fast cars. I've been in my uncle's R100, which we mentioned earlier. But this, this was scary, man. Like, so you're like inches from the ground. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's ah like, if you had lifted me up a foot or two, it would be less scary. Yeah.
00:34:37
Speaker
But it's so, you're so to low to the ground, everything just feels so fast. Like you could do a burnout in that thing, no problem. Like in third gear, you could just drop it, spin and just hold the gas and the tires would just light up. Like there's a reason why all all the top Formula One drivers come from go-karts, yeah? Ah, dude, it's just, hmm.
00:35:05
Speaker
If you've never redriven a go-kart and you're in Formula One, like his there's no chance you've ever you're actually any good. yeah yeah so yeah that's ah That looks like the new project, but there's a lot of work to go into it still. it's a lot simpler build. But because I'm doing a scale model of this world rally car, everything has to be to scale. Yeah. So we have to modify the chassis quite a lot. We have to extend it by nearly like over half a meter. So it's quite a lot we have to extend. Okay. Yeah. ah So that's going to change a lot of the dynamics. And also we have to go in a much bigger wheel size. You know, we're thinking like you keep these tiny little go kart wheels on it. Not going to be exactly as a scale wear. No. But yeah, when we go to the bigger wheel size, that will reduce the aggressiveness of the acceleration. Yeah. um But of course, then we can gear it two differently. So it's it's it's really cool. Like it's going to be really cool. I just have to convince Kristin. What are they asking for this? because be Hold on now. You got you bought this cross car thing with the R6 Moto.
00:36:23
Speaker
Yeah, that cost $11,000. You told me that if you get that motor running properly, you could probably resell it for like 20, yeah? Yeah. it's like That's pretty much the thing paid for, yeah?
00:36:37
Speaker
Yeah, so ah so the guy selling it for a little bit too expensive. I've had a look at another go-kart that was a lot cheaper, but the engine didn't run. So i couldn I couldn't hear it, I couldn't run it, I couldn't drive it. So therefore I was like, I chose not to buy it.
00:36:55
Speaker
Yeah, ah because I don't you just don't know those engines are really precise. They're really finicky. And so if there's one little tiny thing wrong with it, and plus it yeah it hadn't driven since 2019. So ah I got interested. Yeah.
00:37:11
Speaker
So yeah, basically, I have a look at a lot of other cars. His price is a little high. So I'm going to work on him on price and see if I can get him down a bit. And then ah we'll if the price is right, I'll pull the trigger. Sweet. So that is ah basically what's happening in my garage, playing with crazy high powered go carts.
Kieran's Craft Beer Journey
00:37:38
Speaker
Yep. What's happening in your garage, Karen? Let's hear it. um Not actually much physically happening in the garage these days. ah It's been a crazy period of kids being sick and I was sick. There's a like weird thing or there's like weird, like mucus in my fucking head. I could hear my own heartbeat for like three days, just thumping in my ear. That was pretty intense. And, uh, yeah. And then on top of that, I've just been trying to get stuff ready for the next releases. And, uh, I have booked a flight to Loufortin. No way. Um, and so yeah.
00:38:22
Speaker
You know crazy like so I'm flying into Narvik, which is just Haastadt Narvik Airport Haastadt is it I think it's called Haastadt they say up there. Anyway, the northern ones. Yeah, and So believe it or not, it's cheaper to fly ah from Oslo to Narvik and airport and then hire a car and drive for three hours here to to Lufoten wherever where I'm going to get this beer produced than it is to fly directly into Lufoten and still have to drive like 40 minutes in a cab to and so like there's an air like
00:39:07
Speaker
that kind of region is plagued by bad weather. Yeah. So, uh, it's, you never know what you're going to get. So like some, like the flights were just insane into Loufort and like some of the flights were like three changes fly all the way up to Tromsø and down to like Tromdolag somewhere and then back up against insane. But, um, yeah, like this, uh, book flights. So that's cool.
00:39:33
Speaker
That's looks like that's happening. um And I'm silently shitting myself. ah What are you producing up there? This is going to be the Nordic triple. So this is actually for your UK market listeners. um That's kind of something I'm developed more for the UK American market actually.
00:40:02
Speaker
um you know, Norwegians don't know how good they have it here, like the pristine nature. And I mean, they do know, but they just, they just, they don't like to talk about it. I think, are they trying to keep it to themselves? Is that what I don't know? Anyway, but I think it's beautiful. And ah so this, this is going to be an Arctic triple, if you will.
00:40:24
Speaker
um the The name is Nordic Triple. um And kind of like the idea is you get like the purity of like the the Nordic ah regions, the beautiful water. Like, come on, let's talk about water in Norway. It's amazing. What comes out of the tap?
00:40:44
Speaker
Like, that's Voss water. Have you ever seen Voss water at a shop? Anyone up there? That Norwegian water? Like, literally, that's what comes out of the tap here in Norway. So that like, you know, basically, when you buy Voss water, you're buying Norwegian tap water.
00:41:00
Speaker
by It's literally all it is. ah I should also say that like Voss Water is not actually tapped in the beautiful town of Voss. It's tapped in shitty Christian song.
00:41:17
Speaker
Yep. So it's not even like, yeah, not even as far as like pure beautiful places go. It's not even tapped in a pure in the most pure and beautiful place in Norway. But it comes in cool glass bottles. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Marketing 101. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. So anyway, so the triple, I'm really stoked with the recipe. The recipe itself is not like anything that's going to be departing too much from a typical triple, but I put my own little twist in on it.
00:41:53
Speaker
And I think it's like the feedback I got from people is really good. And I think people are really going to love this beer. So I'm excited to bring it to the market. It's going to be ah in a big bottles, not like I'm not going for this small bottle stuff. Like this is a premium product. It's going to be a high end. It's going to look fucking great. And it's going to be one of those beers like you bring to a party. It's going to be the beer that you give to a friend who loves beer.
00:42:21
Speaker
Um, and you know, something really special rather than just like a, Oh, it's a Thursday night and I feel like a beer. Um, you know, it's not like a lager. It's, this is something real special. And, um, and that's a way of kind of, I'm approaching it too. So that's like, uh, kind of in line with your branding in the first place, right? Yeah. Yeah. sure Yeah. But, uh, you know, like there's only.
00:42:49
Speaker
yeah Typically, you can only make a IPA or present an IPA as so special. um You know, I've tried and do my best with the packaging again, but to the I think I can do something really different with the bottled projects like the Nordic Belgian beer series.
00:43:10
Speaker
So that's going to just be a really like, like I've probably explained in earlier podcasts, it's kind of going to be a series of peers. So the um it's going to be pretty nuts. in And i'm I'm going balls deep in this. It's I'm proud of you, bro. Yeah. So let's hope I can sell it.
00:43:31
Speaker
So, but I, you know, I've got some people in the industry and some people around to gonna help me, hopefully. And, and I'm excited to see where it can go. So that's pretty much me. and Now I'm just finalizing labels and stuff like that. And, and yeah, like, you know, what's really crazy actually is like,
00:43:54
Speaker
You just, you put me kind of redirecting me. Like I've kind of been using like chat GBT and these kinds of programs for a little while. But you mentioned to me the other day, like, Oh, why don't you just do this and this with chat GBT? And I was like, Oh, yeah, yeah, we probably could do that. And so and then I started basically plotting all my, all my branding identity, branding package into chat GBT.
00:44:23
Speaker
and then getting it to create. ah everything from like the text on the bottles and everything. And it's saved me so much time. I don't have to sit there going, now, how do I describe the pure zesty cleanliness of this beer? Like I don't have to sit there doing that. Like it the chat GBT, like just goes, do you do and it's like all done. I'm like, I've got to cut and paste and tweak a little bit, but like all the hard work is taken out of it. It's like,
00:44:54
Speaker
Right. That that's my mind blown this week again, by AI and how that is such an amazing tool if you use it right. For anything you're doing far out like the the the The possibilities are endless, really. Yeah, I use it like an assistant or someone to buzz ideas off, right? Literally, i I've stopped using Google and I start just asking questions to chat TBT now.
00:45:26
Speaker
Yeah, I think you need to be careful as fairly biased in some regards to to to what you ask it. But saying that, I mean, Google's super biased too. So, ah you know, you know ah you can't really trust anything. no You just have to use your logic yeah and and decide yourself. Yeah, but if I'm just asking for information on something, you know, it just scours the internet for me and finds it.
00:45:52
Speaker
and then summarizes it for me. So it's great. Yeah. I mean, it's super interesting too. It's like, it's simple things, right? For example, like I wouldn't call my go-kart like a hand truck go-kart. I would call it a moving dolly or a trolley. Right. Right.
00:46:10
Speaker
ah like a box cart or something, right? I'd call it something else. But I was like, okay, that's me, but what do most people call those things? Yeah, right. So I'm like, okay, what are the names, Chachithi? What are the names are there for this thing, right? Yeah.
00:46:30
Speaker
they're like, Oh, you call it this and this and this and this. And I'm like, well, which is the most used term for this thing? Oh, it's the hand truck. Right? Yeah. like Okay. So for me, logically, I need to use the most common term and without chichi chat TDP, like, I can't write that into Google. No, you won't give me an answer. Yeah, right.
00:46:53
Speaker
Yeah, so I mean, it's fantastic. It's like a fantastic thing you can use. And it's making like, so for example, like so simple, too, I'm like, obviously, I'm going to plan is to release ah this Nordic triple to the British market in the future. And I thought, well, I might as well just have the packaging all set up to sell into that market as it stands.
00:47:19
Speaker
So I like just chat to EBT. I'm like, what are the what are the packaging requirements like labeling requirements for selling an alcoholic beverage in the UK? And go to here, here it is just do this, this, this, this include this, this, this, this is optional. But this is not, you know, this is mandatory. And now I've got like a list of things I just need to just incorporate into the label design. And then I'm good to go selling it in the UK.
00:47:48
Speaker
Where I was like, if I tried to Google and I just, i ah you know. Do you come to the right website? Do you find the right information? Well, you could say the same about chatTTP, but saying that, you know, it scours the internet and goes to the official website of, you know, alcohol and serving beverages, you know, UK or something. Yeah. And finds it. Whereas you would have to go into that website, try and go into chapter 27 dash
00:48:19
Speaker
32 of the alcohol law of the United Kingdom of Yeah, it's just like, so yeah, I know. I just like it. So it saves me so much time. It's beautiful, like, I'm mind blown again. It's like, it's like a constant AI revelation, you know. um But yeah, I'm like, you know, so and And then, you know, before you know it, you know, we will be slaves to the AIM, you know, Skynet will be launched and our mutual destruction will be inevitable.
00:48:58
Speaker
But hopefully before then you got some good beers out. Yeah, right. People were having some good times. This is like the apocalypse, whatever, dude. I got this awesome beer. I got this Nordic triple, baby. Let's go. Let's go. This makes everything better. Alcohol and numbing my pain.
00:49:22
Speaker
ah I just realized that like sometimes I'm like, yeah, I'm selling alcohol and fraud there are people out there that really struggle with alcohol and I have a lot of empathy for those people.
00:49:35
Speaker
um it's it's an and then i'm like em Sometimes I do have that thought of like, what am I doing, man? you know Am I creating more of a problem? But yeah I think the benefits of a brewed beverage shared amongst friends will far outweigh the misuse of ah certain individuals. So that's, ah you know, I think we're social beings and I think that's where i'm all my focus on the brand is, is that, you know,
00:50:06
Speaker
drink together, don't be a fucking loner. You know, if you're going to have a drink, do it with friends and and and enjoy the experience and have it as a, you know, as a unique experience that hopefully, you know, brings you closer together as friends and makes life better. So, you know, and then if you do have a drinking problem, then you have friends tell you have your drinking problem and then they hopefully can help you out of it. So.
00:50:33
Speaker
There you go. That's the idea. So yeah, that's me pretty much. You bro. Anything blowing your mind of late? Um, yeah, yesterday, uh, I was driving, um, I got a bloody, my other brother is calling me right now. I just want to quickly answer him. I want to sell. He's on the podcast. Hey, Elliot, how's it going?
00:51:02
Speaker
You're on our podcast right now. ah say hello to the cell Say hello to the seven listeners. seven yeah i like Can I give you a call back after we finish?
00:51:20
Speaker
right ah yeah yeah That's our brother, Elliot.
00:51:28
Speaker
Yep. We are, we've got two other brothers, uh, for you guys who don't know, Conrad, the eldest and Elliot, the middle, and then us two came last. So, uh, where were we after we, uh, rudely interrupted by our middle brother? yeah um Conrad, you're more than welcome to interrupt the podcast if you can.
00:51:49
Speaker
Time it right. Just feel free to ring. yeah I thought you were supposed to put your phone on Do Not Disturb, you jerk. I did. ha like I put it on silent. I didn't put it on. That old chest note. Plus it also goes through because He also goes through my computer. I was ringing my headset. I was like, I can't ignore this. It's ringing right now. um Yeah. Mind blown. Where were we? right own ah Yesterday driving two hours to drive my daughter to a handball
Norwegian Road Trips and Wildlife Encounters
00:52:23
Speaker
game. What? ah Seriously, I think if I didn't have a bigger
00:52:29
Speaker
thing to talk about in yanking my chain, I'd be talking about that. Cause I've heard about this. I'm like, don't get like in Norway, don't let your kids play handball. Cause it's like that you, you have to drive the most, travel the most, do all these, like they have all these, like it's cause it's played in these holes. Yeah. And the holes are only like, you know, so far apart.
00:52:52
Speaker
You know, they can't be that close to each other. Yeah. No, every school has one. I don't like. Yeah. So why? Why? Where were you driving to? Yeah. i hung The force chicken falls. Yeah. ah They played bloody two games. It was like, and they had to play them like two hours apart. So we tried to say, ah, was it just, it was sort seems like a very,
00:53:22
Speaker
good use of a Sunday. With my whole Sunday was gone. We had to get up, we had to get up by 8 30 and we got home at six o'clock at night. Yeah. Yeah. Completely gone. Uh, but saying that on the drive there, mind blown. Bye.
00:53:40
Speaker
Just this country, man. It's freaking beautiful. Like we're just riding this along this so like country road and then suddenly the trees part and there's oh may yeah amazing with these mountainous rolling clouds over the top. It's just like, oh,
00:54:02
Speaker
It was so nice. it was I just like, this is the country we live in, man. yeah Like, this is the postcard shit, you know? And there was like an eagle flying overhead and a moose just standing by the side of the road munching on some moose or something.
00:54:22
Speaker
There am I going, I'm driving these sick rides because they're all windy and shit. mowing that moose down. That moose would fuck my car up if I did. Oh, would they? Far out. They're bigger than a horse. Dude, they're huge. You've never seen a moose before. Well, I should make a note there. I've lived in Norway for over 10 years. Never seen a moose. Right? Really? No, no, no. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I can tell the story here. You know where I see a moose? You know where I see a moose?
00:54:57
Speaker
Driving down fucking Conneragata, like literally just driving into town, just on the side of the road, just standing there like a fucking dopey cunt just ah road road roadlaes sitting there munching on some grass, but looking at the cars, driving past. I'm just like in the middle of suburbia. but I did. did that's That's nothing.
00:55:22
Speaker
I was on the train, yeah coming into Drummond Station, and I see a giant moose, a giant elk, yeah on that island in the middle of the two bridges there. Yeah, like and there's nothing but like city either side of it. yeah like How the fuck did it get there? It would have had to have gone through like over bridges.
00:55:46
Speaker
Yeah, it did. It had to go over a bridge. And it was angry that the bloody animal control had to come in and tranquilize it. It was ready to stomp people. so Yeah, so the side zone and Green Moose is being stomping people. It is really, really beautiful here. And it's like you just driving out towards Herndaphos. There's such an amazing scenery on the way and it's just, it's gorgeous, man. I mean, I'm about to go like in two weeks, I'm going up to Louvre.
00:56:19
Speaker
and I got to drive for three hours through the Lufthans Islands, imagining that my eyeballs, if it's not shitty weather, but that I can't fucking see anything. I'm imagining if the sun clear, like the clouds part and I see some shit, like I imagine I'm going to be like nearly crashing the car in every fucking turn because I'd be just like, holy fuck, this actually exists. So I mean, Lufthans is known for being one of those places.
00:56:47
Speaker
You know, I mean, I was up in Stadeen like 10 years ago. Oh, that's super nice. Yeah. And I literally crashed the car because I was looking at the scenery. I was like, Oh, I clipped the mirror on this fucking cliff because I was just like looking until I couldn't, I couldn't not look at the fucking scenery. It's like, it's shit you see in like that you imagine is like AI generated.
00:57:16
Speaker
You know, might as well be in those fucking floating mountains from ah from Avatar.
00:57:23
Speaker
So I mean, it's pretty, it's pretty crazy. So yeah, I mean, and always crazy beautiful sometimes. Yeah, it is. Yeah. yeah between the clear Yeah. I mean, besides the bad weather and everything, what's yanking your chain, though, about this place? Oh, then postage.
00:57:46
Speaker
Postage I got you know, I got I got a package in the mail today. I picked it up just before we started this podcast and First of all, ah I'm sorry brew shop brew shop. No I Ordered hops Expensive fucking hops like we're talking what? like fire what are we talking 500 euro and Yeah, about a bag of five, 600 euro for a bag, five kilo bag of hops. I got two bags in this box and some yeast and they didn't, they packed it in this shitty box. And of course it got fucking kicked around. it Like the thing weighs 15 kilo, like 10, 15 kilos. So of course it's like heavy and it's not like packed with foam or anything inside it.
00:58:38
Speaker
And so it got like fucking thrown around and one of the like edges of the bag came broke was broken through the box and it got pierced. Now, it got pierced by God knows what, probably in a fucking door. I don't know. Anyway, so these bags of hops are nitrogen filled to maintain the freshness. Yeah.
00:59:01
Speaker
when you fucking pierce them. Not so fresh anymore, are they? So I'm here am I with a fucking 600 euro bag of hops just now I'm like what's the quality going to be like on this? So I just got it home as far. I mean, it was not I were to admit, like I opened the box and I just like the waft of like beautiful fresh hops just goof out of the boxes was an enjoyable experience. But realizing that was because the bag was fucking ripped. I was just like, I was so pissed. So, you know, I mean, like I can understand like
00:59:38
Speaker
you know, some postage, disgruntled postage worker, like fucking throwing shit around. And, you know, like, I actually understand that, like, they're probably not paid as well as they should be and blah, blah, blah. ah But like, when you don't, when a business doesn't package their goods well enough, fucking hell. And the yanks might chain. Well, I'll be interested to hear what they say when you complain to them, because if they don't, uh,
01:00:08
Speaker
deal with it properly. So we say maybe we'll just let it rip on the next podcast. but You know, the there was actually the worst thing is that these guys are probably the best place in Norway to get hold of all the specialty ingredients that I need. So I mean, I can't really like boycott them that hard, but I can I can be unhappy. I'll be I'll do the typical Norwegian thing and just be like, be disgruntled and unhappy and just not say anything. Just begrudgingly, just, you know, every day, just murder of every fucking foreigners.
01:00:53
Speaker
Yep. So that's my ink in my chain. What about you, bro?
Podcast Rivalry with Three Northern Makers
01:00:59
Speaker
yeah Right. What's yanking my chain? Yep.
01:01:05
Speaker
the Three Northern Makers podcast. Oh, what have they done now? Seriously. What have the two of them done now? Okay. Like, I mean, that's something to yank my chain. Just still that they call themselves the Three Northern Makers when it's clearly just two of them. Right. ah Hey, you know what they did in the last podcast? What have they done? They accused us of being criminals. What?
01:01:33
Speaker
Criminals. Yeah, because we're from Australia. They think we're like illegitimately in this country, you know. Yeah, I mean, you know, some could argue, but criminals, no. We're law abiding citizens. You judgmental Swedish and Welsh pricks.
01:01:58
Speaker
No, I don't. wait say and he's well Don't say he's Welsh. How is he not Welsh? He's from northern England apparently. That was also something we said wrong. Oh, there we go. Well, you know, I didn't exactly have his bio in front of me, so, you know. You know what I think though? What do you think?
01:02:22
Speaker
I think they're calling us criminals, but I have a feeling like maybe like they didn't like Andy, the third guy that was on the podcast. Maybe they did something to him. Maybe they put a hit on him or something and they took him out. Yeah. Yeah. And then they just thought like, didn't change the name because it would be too suspicious. Yeah. Maybe we should just be really careful of what we say about them. Cause we might end up swimming like with the fishes like Andy. oh Well, you know, like you never know then suddenly ah um I was trying to think of like, what the like maker equivalent of a sawn off horse head in your bed would have been. very
01:03:08
Speaker
oh The three makers podcast. If you haven't listened, if you're listening to this and you haven't listened to the Three Makers podcast, don't don't listen to those bricks. Don't listen. I should say Pierre said the same thing. He said, don't listen to the garage. god Oh, then be fighting words. Pierre. Yeah. yeah Well, don't don't expect to get any beers from me, Pierre.
01:03:36
Speaker
yeah yeah Go thirsty and drink your weak ass 3.5% Swedish piss. No, he keeps on drinking this bear beer. A bear beer? Yeah, it's it's the worst beer ever, dude.
01:03:54
Speaker
Yeah. Maybe you have to send something to him but like secretly lace it with like poison. yeah Poison? Wow. I like we're not actual criminals, Justin.
01:04:08
Speaker
Oh, so well no yeah sorry, I forgot. i forgot It's in a parentage karen is is like murder people. You know, that's why we were in Australia in the first place, right? Right. s Yeah. Well, I'll say Australian, you know, I'm like, for those who don't know, or maybe I'm giving, I might give him some ammunition here. This will be a good fun arrogant. So I'm familiar, just, are you familiar with the, with the whore boat that was sent to Australia?
01:04:39
Speaker
So you've got a bunch of criminals, all these, like, pretty much guys, right? Sounds like a party boat, actually. Yeah, well. So the British, like, you twisted motherfuckers, like, you're like, oh, yeah, like, there's always unruly, unruly, unruly, like, behaviour happening in Australia. There's all these men bored with nothing to do. They're just like literally just ah a bunch of criminals, a bunch of guards. There's nothing to do. They're just drinking and fucking fucking each other. I don't know. I don't know what was going on. But obviously the the the monarchy got very uncomfortable with the unruliness of what was going on in Australia. So, you know what, the you know what the British decided to do? They rounded up all like a whole boatload of prostitutes from London.
01:05:31
Speaker
And they put him on a boat and send them to Australia. so i blame I blame Steve.
01:05:40
Speaker
Fuck Steve! Steve, why did your ancestors put his horse on the ship? Set us up to be a bunch of whores. and The children of whores.
01:05:56
Speaker
ah Yeah, but i a pretty funny story, I have to admit. Like, it's just like the British are like, wow, this will calm them down. Just give them someone to fuck.
01:06:07
Speaker
a
01:06:10
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Well, it's like kind of that weird thing, like in the UK, like in London, all the all the brothels were kind of caretaken by the church.
01:06:26
Speaker
Have you heard about this? No. Yeah. So like there's like, there's like this graveyard is like from a, from a church graveyard in London that is like, um, that is like basically a mass grave for all the whores. They couldn't be buried in like a typical Christian cemetery because they were whores, apparently. Uh, and, and so they were buried in these like nameless graves.
01:06:54
Speaker
like fucking cold pricks. And for all these, because the the, yeah, the church was like basically looking after all the, all the whores in the city. So whenever they died, they got buried in this nameless grave. And when they were digging the tunnel, like for the underground, they had to dig around the edge of this graveyard and they hit like fucking like 5,000 bodies or something through when they were trying to dig through.
01:07:21
Speaker
Well, if you think about it, dude, it's so crazy, graveyards. Yeah. Yeah. but It's only so much space, like until you have to like start piling them on top of each other. Yeah. Yeah. yeah Like well how many billions of people have died over the last, you know, even just the last 200 years, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's just like, what, where do those bodies go? Like if you're just burying them all the time. So, ah,
01:07:51
Speaker
Super crazy. Well, Steve shouldn't have sent those whores on that, but I mean, so Steve, it was Steve. He's that old. up
01:08:03
Speaker
We've talked too long about this, Karen. We're going to get off topic there probably. Now we've started a massive rivalry and they're going to be slinging so much shit on us. It's going to be good fun. I look forward to listening to the next podcast in hindsight of this podcast. i will be yeah ah You know,
01:08:21
Speaker
We love Australians, we love a bit of shit talk. We do. As long as it's in good humour, we do. So bring it on. I don't know if it was in good humour with Pierre. I don't think maybe he thought that maybe we were criminals. Then be fighting words, Pierre. Just ah think twice when you drink my the next beers I send you because you never know what I might have put in them.
01:08:47
Speaker
Well, besides going to check out what their next episode is going to be like after this one. ah what What other things you should other people check out? Well, so it's not checking out the big don't check out the three three makers.
01:09:06
Speaker
Three Northern Makers. Yeah. Yeah, check out the Three Makers podcast. I don't know if that exists. Some other guys podcast. Check out their podcast. We're not the Three Northern Makers podcast. Whatever you do, you'll regret it. So what do people check out? They should check out. This is a shameless plug. I have to admit. Yeah.
Music and Media Recommendations
01:09:35
Speaker
So I have two very good friends, ah John Reichert and Peter Espovall. Both are musicians. Petter, he's been in a Christian death metal band for many years and and is no longer kind of with them in an official capacity, or at least not in a performing capacity.
01:10:00
Speaker
um And he has started a side project with my good friend, John, all the way from Australia, who's also half Swedish. Don't get excited, Pierre. ah He's from, yeah, they're probably actually from the same area. Isn't he from the south, Pierre? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
01:10:21
Speaker
yeah
01:10:25
Speaker
ah For those who don't know, I'm making fun of their accent down in the south of Sweden. But um yeah, so John is half Swedish, half Australian, so he's half criminal. There you go. Ruining your gene pool, Pierre. um And they started a band together called Intheosis. And it's a metal project. So if you enter that kind of thing, check it out. Intheosis. There's two songs at the moment, Mysteria and Purged.
01:10:55
Speaker
and I think they're pretty rockin' and pretty crazy too, because like john and John's always been a metalhead, right? This guy, I'm a good friend, John, he's always been a metalhead deep down, but he never really had a chance to like work with metal. is He's doing music producing as like, ah you know, that's his career, yeah? But he's doing all this for for like hip-hop artists. So like, these are mostly like some pretty big names in in Australia, like Plissonesso and, I don't know who the other ones are now, 360 and a bunch of, yeah. So there's some there's some really big names he's working with now. So, a but what's really fascinating about that is that this is a complete departure from hip-hop. ah But, you know, this John's been a closet metalhead for at least
01:11:45
Speaker
professionally for a long time. So this is really exciting for me to see them producing together. And it's really fun because like, you know, like Petter is in Norway here with me. And then John is still living in Australia and they're doing everything remotely and writing music together. And I just think it's it's so awesome.
01:12:05
Speaker
So check it out, Inteosys, if you're into that genre of music, it'd be, I think you'd love it. So there you go. Cool. I'm going to recommend a TV series. Everyone has talked or probably heard of Yellowstone. Yeah. That's a heavy show. Yeah, really good. But we, we started watching the prequel to Yellowstone, 1883, it's called. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:12:33
Speaker
um I like it. I like it a lot. It follows the Dutton family on their journey to to a new land. um And the the actress that plays the main character, see she just does it for me.
01:12:56
Speaker
ah a I said to Kristen, I'm like, I'm sorry, but like, she, like, she does it for me. She's like, what what is it about? I'm like, it's something about the cuteness and the freckles. That's what I like about it. I thought you were about to say, reminds me of a whore on a boat.
01:13:19
Speaker
ah and i see It's really, it's really well made. I've heard good things about it actually. It's, you know, a lot of violence and a lot of brutal, the brutalness of actually like what America was like back then when, when people were sort of, yeah, traipsing across the country, trying to pioneer their way to, to a new life, you know, and it's really well made. And I'm looking forward to the next series, which I think is called 19 something. I can't remember. Yeah. Cause it's like, there's a pre.
01:13:57
Speaker
prequel and then the pre-prequel. Right? Yeah. Yeah. And I'm still, we're still waiting of course for ah season five, part two of Yellow Star. Oh, what's taken so long? Come on. Kevin Costner bloody left. Really? Yeah. What? Kev, get back on it.
01:14:20
Speaker
Help us finish it. Like the last three episodes were just like a fucking wash in that Syrian Yellowstone. I just have to say, there was all this like cowboy romanticism going on. And I was just like, can we just get on with the killing of the people? look that's why we're watching this you know no i think we criminals scared
01:14:44
Speaker
oh Watch yourself. pi Watch yourself.
01:14:52
Speaker
Alright dude, I think we'll leave it there. yeah Thanks everyone for listening to our shenanigans. Honestly, don't listen to the three northern makers. Don't listen.

Why just leave it all in and just we'll leave this little last bit in the end about it. either value yeah Maybe we went too far, shit.
01:15:33
Speaker
What have we done, Josh? What are we doing? I don't know. We'll have to start. We'll have to start a fight with another podcast. That's how we get listeners just by starting fights with other podcasts. Yeah. Well, at least in consumer. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah.
