Podcast Introduction and Banter
00:00:16
Denis Tyrell
Hey, welcome to another episode of the Triple T for Knife Makers podcast. Jared, you're such a dick. He loves just to annoy the shit out of me during these.
00:00:27
Denis Tyrell
i'm Welcome to the podcast. As usual, i have my dickhead friend, Jared Sandoval from Echo Blades, and I'm Dennis Trell the Trail Knife Works, and you are joining us for another spectacular episode of this podcast, listening to us bust each other's balls, even without saying anything yet.
00:00:47
Denis Tyrell
Jared, how are you?
00:00:49
echo_blades
I am doing fantastic and I'd like to commend you on a very upbeat intro. You started out laughing and I am, I couldn't be more happier. Um, I do want to just extend my sincere apologies for the lackluster, uh,
00:01:05
echo_blades
vibe of last week's show i felt like we should have been shot out of a cannon with like just full of energy after being gone for two weeks and having blade show and everything and man about halfway through it it just we weren't we weren't catching that uh super momentum and uh i just want to say i'm sorry might make my friends boring i just i think it's there but uh yeah man i'm uh
00:01:22
Denis Tyrell
I think we were still tired.
00:01:33
echo_blades
I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. How was
Instagram Poll and Blame Game
00:01:37
echo_blades
your week? Oh, first off, let me just get this out of the way. um put a post ah put an Instagram poll out this morning saying that we were going to be late and it was going to come out this evening. and um and And I did a poll. Whose fault do you think it is?
00:01:57
Denis Tyrell
I was wondering what that meant in the notes.
00:02:00
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:02:00
Denis Tyrell
And, and...
00:02:02
echo_blades
And i want, I just, I, I will say that most of the day i was pretty resentful that it was a, like a landslide. It was my fault.
00:02:13
echo_blades
And then.
00:02:14
Denis Tyrell
See, they know.
00:02:16
echo_blades
And then it kind of shifted gears. And at the end, i am so happy to say that my beautiful, beautiful friends and listeners have all rallied around and understood that most of the time it's Dennis's fault.
00:02:29
echo_blades
But 47% 53%. You're about to get struck with lightning. I'm you're where are.
00:02:31
Denis Tyrell
What do you mean? It has never once been me that has...
00:02:36
echo_blades
um um
00:02:37
Denis Tyrell
No.
00:02:37
echo_blades
you're about to get you're about to get struck with lightning i't i'm glad you're i'm glad you're where you are
00:02:41
Denis Tyrell
no No, no. The one time i suggested and you said yes, I was going to do it anyway. So I'm counting that one in the... in the
00:02:49
echo_blades
ah You have fell asleep twice.
00:02:52
Denis Tyrell
Okay, I did do that.
00:02:56
echo_blades
So, um but at any rate, yeah.
00:02:58
Denis Tyrell
So what's your excuse anyway?
00:03:01
echo_blades
So, but this week it was, it was because of me. I had the wonderful honor and privilege to celebrate my 24th wedding anniversary
Wedding Anniversary Reflections
00:03:10
echo_blades
with my wife yesterday.
00:03:10
Denis Tyrell
Okay, I'll let you off on that one.
00:03:11
echo_blades
So, so yeah. ah Happy anniversary, my love. um Just a, ah
00:03:20
echo_blades
You know, it's kind of sad because, well, that for sure, um she's going to, the drugs are going to wear off sooner or later.
00:03:23
Denis Tyrell
She put up with you for that long?
00:03:29
echo_blades
I know it. But, ah you know, on ah on a little bit more kind of ah a serious note, you know, i I don't know how the rest of you guys are. I mean, and I and i actually had... um I'm inspired, um irritated, and sometimes motivated by people that I have in my life as it relates to how they participate in their relationships.
00:03:56
echo_blades
And um I get irritated when there's the overdue gooder.
00:03:57
Denis Tyrell
Thank you.
00:04:01
echo_blades
Guy's got his balls in his wife purse. I get motivated when I see somebody respect, honor, love, cherish, and support, and and put you know that relationship in its appropriate place. and inspired is just like this perfect scenario of, and all I'm trying to describe is like, uh, for me is just, uh, always try to get real, um, and don't want to say examples of what I think it is to be a man and a husband and a father.
00:04:31
echo_blades
um and I'm very grateful to have a lot of, lot of examples, uh, and good friends that, uh, show me how to do it because there's, there's a lot of times where, um, you know, I'll fall short of, uh,
00:04:45
echo_blades
doing and putting things in its appropriate place. And it's not for lack of respect or anything like that, but it's just, uh, I think I have a ah wonderful wife who allows me to, uh, to do the things that I, I want to do most
Balancing Family and Finances
00:04:59
echo_blades
of the time. And, um, I can quickly let that landslide into,
00:05:04
echo_blades
being lopsided and balance wise. So, uh, so I, you know, I, I just, I don't know why, but I got that's just me.
00:05:11
Denis Tyrell
Peace.
00:05:12
echo_blades
I got to kind of call things for what they are. Accountability is, is real. Um, and it just kind of snuck up on me yesterday and I was like, well, yeah, I'm not, I'm not going to, you know, happy anniversary.
00:05:23
echo_blades
I got to go record. So I had to prioritize some things and, and do that. But, uh, you know, I, I just, uh, you know, that coupled with father's day, um And ultimately, ah while we were in Atlanta with with ah with my son graduating, I think I may have touched on it last week, but I'm just having this whole trying to, what's the word?
00:05:53
echo_blades
Not equalize, but i'm i'm I'm really focusing on the, the never-ending chase for the dollar versus time and where is that um what does that equal out right because as a man we need to provide um we you know ultimately i want my i wanted and i do want to continue to have my family to have a better life uh than than i did um but then you know as the kids are are now kind of you know setting off to do their own thing i was trying to rationalize like you know well
00:06:10
Denis Tyrell
Yep. yep
00:06:32
echo_blades
Did I do enough? You know, was there, you know, um, so it was just this, this, this cool little moment, uh, of reflection is what I was, I was trying to get at. And, um, you know, that was that come home. i was gone for a while.
00:06:46
echo_blades
And then, uh, we got father's day. I had a wonderful father's day, man. I, I was yours.
00:06:53
Denis Tyrell
it was good. It was good.
00:06:54
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. I got to, I got to golf, um spend the time with the family and then roll into this, this anniversary. So just a really feeling, filling the, trying to count the blessings and not the problems and realize how grateful I am.
00:07:11
echo_blades
Cause I'm super proud of, of our longevity in this marriage. You know, as I talk to people, it's just, it's not as common as I'd, I'd hope it would be for most people.
00:07:21
Denis Tyrell
not common at all when do you say it is 24 or 24 years that is not common at all not a lot of people hit that silver wedding anniversary uh that 25.
00:07:25
echo_blades
24 years. Yeah. No, especially if you're.
00:07:32
Denis Tyrell
you're
00:07:34
echo_blades
Yeah. I told her we're done after that. Let's just get that. And then we can just call it. You put up with it. You did your time. Now go be happy.
00:07:42
Denis Tyrell
gonna go for gold
00:07:44
echo_blades
Yeah. I'm going to make it to goal. That's, that's, that's the reality, but ah no, mean, I just, ah you know, and the only thing we did right is just, is not quit, you know?
00:07:55
echo_blades
and And I don't think that's appropriate for everybody, but it's worked for us. And so anyways, that's why I was late. Why we're late. It was me, but I love you guys for, for thinking it was dense.
00:08:06
Denis Tyrell
Even thinking it was me.
00:08:07
echo_blades
Yeah. Cause yeah, that was cool.
00:08:11
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. I actually celebrated Father's Day Saturday because I had a class
Father's Day Knife Making Class
00:08:17
Denis Tyrell
Sunday. Yeah.
00:08:18
echo_blades
Oh, that's right. That's right.
00:08:19
Denis Tyrell
yeah So Logan and I went out to dinner, which he paid for, which was awesome.
00:08:25
echo_blades
that's awesome.
00:08:25
Denis Tyrell
Uh, and then, um, then we went to see the Mandalorian and Grogu, which was pretty good. Um, are you Mandalorian fan? Probably not.
00:08:36
echo_blades
I, I, again, I'll say this a million times. I am a much bigger star Wars fan in my mind than I am in real life. So I want to say, of course, but yeah, no, I,
00:08:48
Denis Tyrell
Did you ever watch the series?
00:08:50
echo_blades
I started to actually, that's ah my son and I started watching that. And then um nobody can watch in a series with me because it's impossible to like pin me down long enough to do that.
00:09:02
echo_blades
And they end up finishing the shows without me. And he did that. So I got pissed off and I've never finished it.
00:09:09
Denis Tyrell
Well, the movie is like, why I just felt like the movie was like watching four or five episodes of the Mandalorian series, which is great. um so I liked it a lot.
00:09:18
echo_blades
Okay.
00:09:19
Denis Tyrell
It was good. Logan Knight was not a Mandalorian fan, so I don't think he got as much out of it as I did, but um but it was good.
00:09:24
echo_blades
Nice.
00:09:30
Denis Tyrell
And then Sunday I had a father-daughter class, um like a one-day, like a chef knife class, which was super fun. They were really nice, um you know, enthusiastic pair um in the shop. So that was pretty fun.
00:09:51
Denis Tyrell
But yeah.
Dog's Surgery and Family Dinner
00:09:52
echo_blades
I don't know if I said it on the air or if we talked about it afterwards, but I was like, who the fuck schedules class on Father's Day? And you were like, I don't know.
00:10:02
Denis Tyrell
a father.
00:10:02
echo_blades
It father, a father. Yeah. With this kid. And I was like, okay, I'm an asshole. All right. Fair enough. Yeah.
00:10:09
Denis Tyrell
And I mean, I finally have one kid at home. I did talk to Parker of course. Um, but, um, yeah, it was, I don't really do that much for father's day anyway. So it didn't feel like that much of a, an issue for me.
00:10:22
Denis Tyrell
Um, and, and, uh, Logan works on Sundays anyway, so I wasn't going to see him, but, um,
00:10:22
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:10:28
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:10:30
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, but it was good class. it was good weekend. Um, we had, so, um, today some, I wouldn't say sad news, not yet, but Molly had a big operation today.
00:10:45
Denis Tyrell
Molly's the dog for everyone else.
00:10:45
echo_blades
Oh no.
00:10:47
Denis Tyrell
So, why she, she had a big lump removed from her, uh, from her front leg.
00:10:48
echo_blades
What's wrong? What's going on?
00:10:54
Denis Tyrell
And, uh, she had a bunch of teeth removed and we thought it was going to be like you know three or four teeth take a guess how many teeth she got removed I was thinking three or four so it's obviously more 16 she had 16 teeth removed she she's an old lady dog but we did not know it was that bad
00:11:05
echo_blades
You're thinking three or four.
00:11:24
echo_blades
wow
00:11:25
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. She's got like her canines, like two more on the bottom. Um, and sorry, on on the top two canines and like two other teeth, almost all her other, her teeth are gone. And then she's got like three back molars, um, on the bottom on each side and like one other tooth.
00:11:45
Denis Tyrell
That's it. She's like drug to hell right now.
00:11:47
echo_blades
Oh, she's going to start watching NASCAR.
00:11:52
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:11:57
Denis Tyrell
Oh, but it's going to be, it's going to be a rough couple.
00:11:58
echo_blades
Oh, Molly Earnhardt right here, buddy.
00:12:02
Denis Tyrell
It's going to be a rough couple of days for her. So I'm feeling bad.
00:12:05
echo_blades
I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, me too.
00:12:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:12:07
echo_blades
She's a sweetheart too.
00:12:09
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. And, uh, with, with company coming Thursday night, um, that's going to be, yeah, it's going to be hard on Kim to be looking after her all weekend when I'm teaching a class.
00:12:10
echo_blades
She's an absolute sweetheart.
00:12:22
Denis Tyrell
So, but, uh, yeah.
00:12:26
echo_blades
Huh. Wow. Well, that's... She's good.
00:12:31
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, so far. I mean, you know, she she just got out of the surgery at like 4 o'clock today, so she's still drugged up and sleeping.
00:12:40
echo_blades
Just passed out.
00:12:40
Denis Tyrell
and Yeah. So we'll see. We'll see how she does tomorrow.
00:12:45
echo_blades
Where'd you guys go for dinner?
00:12:47
Denis Tyrell
We went to Hopped a Mind.
00:12:50
echo_blades
Oh, okay. That's good.
00:12:51
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:12:52
echo_blades
That's a solid spot. I had chili dogs.
00:12:53
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Chili dogs.
00:12:55
echo_blades
You know how much I love Chili Dogs?
00:12:57
Denis Tyrell
I can't stand chili dogs.
00:12:59
echo_blades
Chili Dog with my Chili Dog with my Chili Dogs. Chili Dog with my Chili Dog with my Chili Dog. Have you seen that reel? There's a whole reel where all they do is say Chili Dog to that song the entire time. It's fantastic.
00:13:14
Denis Tyrell
Uh, I very rarely like hot dogs. Hot dogs is like, to me, one of those foods that I never order when I'm out because I feel like what can you possibly do to ah fucking wiener in a bun that would make me want to buy it as opposed to something I could make at home.
00:13:32
Denis Tyrell
It's a mental thing.
00:13:32
echo_blades
I agree.
00:13:33
Denis Tyrell
Um, and then I'm not a big chili fan.
00:13:33
echo_blades
agree.
00:13:36
Denis Tyrell
So chili dogs are off my menu.
00:13:39
echo_blades
ah wo or What?
00:13:41
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I'm not a big chili fan.
00:13:43
echo_blades
Huh. i I will say probably nine out 10. If I do order a hot dog, it's chi any chili dog I've ever bought. it's probably been gross.
00:13:56
echo_blades
It's not and ah very rare to go to spot. That's got like just great.
00:13:59
Denis Tyrell
Have you ever seen the wiener schnitzel chili dog?
00:14:02
echo_blades
That's the only one I'm talking about. that's like I think that's probably.
00:14:04
Denis Tyrell
it looks like vomit.
00:14:04
echo_blades
what Oh, yeah.
00:14:06
Denis Tyrell
It's disgusting.
00:14:07
echo_blades
But I have had a good one of those once. I was going to say.
00:14:13
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it was probably 2 a.m. in the morning and you were...
00:14:15
echo_blades
And I was. Yeah, if you're not just going to get a standard hot dog at the ah at the ballpark watching baseball. um I think when I was doing spring training, though, I was introduced to the Chicago dog.
00:14:28
echo_blades
And I'm a fan.
00:14:30
Denis Tyrell
Okay. ah Yeah, they're okay.
00:14:32
echo_blades
right.
00:14:32
Denis Tyrell
They're okay. i will I will give something to you. the only The only hot dog i will I will buy from somebody else are those bacon wrap hot dogs off the little carts. i don't even Don't even tell me what's in them. I don't care. They smell so good.
00:14:49
Denis Tyrell
Those are
00:14:50
echo_blades
Dude, those, man, that is like an epidemic and ah a like an infestation of awesomeness that comes out of there, dude. They just, they have the they have that thing down pack. There's like a troop of them. And then when I was in in Anaheim, we went to the game there. I have never seen so many. They even got us when we walked out of Alcatraz.
00:15:12
Denis Tyrell
That's what I was just thinking. like It took everything in me not to buy one of those getting off and the boat and out the trash. like We should have got one just to let Toby try it.
00:15:21
echo_blades
i mean
00:15:24
echo_blades
I think we missed the yeah we missed the boat there for sure. Because they're they're not that good normally, but they they can be.
00:15:31
Denis Tyrell
They smell delicious.
00:15:33
echo_blades
They do. They do. Have you had a Casper dog?
00:15:38
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Meh.
00:15:39
echo_blades
Yeah, so that's that's next level for me. It snaps like a Vlasic pickle. It's great, dude. It's so good.
00:15:49
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I've had those.
00:15:49
echo_blades
ah
00:15:50
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:15:50
echo_blades
But anyways, that's what I had. That's what I wanted. um And then watched the U.S. Open. And I got...
00:16:00
echo_blades
to My son got me a brand new 7-wood. I am so... I...
00:16:08
Denis Tyrell
A seven wood. Wow.
00:16:09
echo_blades
Is Sevenwood a golf club? I've been looking at this thing. I've been looking at this thing.
00:16:14
Denis Tyrell
I didn't mean to hit that, actually.
00:16:16
echo_blades
no that's funny, though.
00:16:16
Denis Tyrell
It was appropriate.
00:16:18
echo_blades
Yes, it's good. That's really good. ah I hope you guys are laughing because that kind of stung. and That one actually got me a little bit, dude. I was like, what a motherfucker.
00:16:39
Denis Tyrell
I was adjusting the volume because it was really loud and I didn't realize when you adjust the volume, it plays it.
00:16:42
echo_blades
Oh, um that's kirking awesome.
00:16:53
echo_blades
Okay. Yeah. He got me a club that I've been. threatening to buy for fucking months now and and I love it I used the shit out of it this week so that was good I golfed with him and my my son-in-law on Sunday and then just hung out with the family so it was good got some clothes and
00:17:13
Denis Tyrell
I was why ah whatever scrolling Instagram and like, you know, sometimes they'll show like little movie clips, you know, like a little spot of a movie on Instagram or in a reel or something like that.
Movie Scene and Golf Equipment
00:17:22
Denis Tyrell
So I'm going through that and it's, I don't know the movie, but it's Owen Wilson selling this guy a golf club.
00:17:22
echo_blades

00:17:29
echo_blades
Oh, it's Stick.
00:17:29
Denis Tyrell
And it, is that what it is? And he's like, oh yeah, you, oh yeah, you you don't want to do this with this one's, you know, I can't sell you this one or something like that.
00:17:32
echo_blades
It's a show called Stick.
00:17:38
Denis Tyrell
I thought of you, that's exactly how you would be sold the golf club.
00:17:42
echo_blades
It's not how I am with those with that type of thing, but yes, very, very simple. Yes, it was good. Like, no, no, no, no. this is the I wouldn't do that. You got to tell you that. I've seen that. that's a that isn't That is an absolutely great series, too.
00:17:58
echo_blades
It's called Stick, I think.
00:18:01
Denis Tyrell
ah You know what's great? Have you been watching all of these reels of the like the World Cup fans? i mean Have you seen these?
00:18:09
echo_blades
Boring. Boring.
00:18:12
Denis Tyrell
the
00:18:12
echo_blades
No.
00:18:14
Denis Tyrell
I want to go to Houston and go to like a Dutch, like a Netherlands game. Have you seen those? You got, you got to Google Netherlands, Houston, and like whatever crowd just Google that and see it is incredible. Like I want to go just,
00:18:34
echo_blades
Every soccer game is like that. And I...
00:18:36
Denis Tyrell
no no, this isn't in the game. This is in the, in the streets on the way to the game. It is unbelievable. They do this. They're all wearing orange and they're doing this chant.
00:18:48
Denis Tyrell
And then the entire crowd, because in the in the chant, which is in whatever language they speak in the Netherlands, Dutch, I guess.
00:19:01
Denis Tyrell
Is that a language? i don't know. um But they're every I just got hate mail from all of the Europeans. um But in it, they go, go left, go left.
00:19:11
echo_blades
Just the Dutch. Just the Dutch.
00:19:12
Denis Tyrell
the entire The entire crowd starts moving left, and there's like, i bet you it looks like 10,000 people moving left and then moving right, and it's it is crazy. And then the the Norwegians, actually, when they're in the stadium, they row.
00:19:33
Denis Tyrell
because they're Vikings. So you have the entire thing. They're all rowing in unison. Like we're talking eight sections in the stadium are rowing in unison. It looks hilarious.
00:19:45
Denis Tyrell
I'd like to go just to be one of the fans. You need to get out from golf and actually see some of this. It looks hilarious.
00:19:54
echo_blades
Dude, you're never going to get me to a soccer game.
00:19:56
Denis Tyrell
Really? I thought you liked all live sports.
00:19:57
echo_blades
Not. No. That is one sport that and ah hockey is fantastic to see live. And I don't i don't care for hockey either, but I'll i'll go to a hockey game any day.
00:20:09
echo_blades
Soccer, just just not not not me. No chance. I haven't watched a single freaking World Cup thing. I i um i just asked my buddies if the USA was still in it. and um But yeah, no, I don't get it.
00:20:27
echo_blades
And it's the biggest sport in the world, by far, in the world.
00:20:29
Denis Tyrell
In the world.
00:20:32
echo_blades
And you can, I'd rather do whatever you
00:20:35
Denis Tyrell
I don't mind it. I like soccer. I mean, I've watched the World Cup. not Not so much this one. I've watched a couple of games. Like, I watched the... Shit. What was the England and Ghana, I think, were playing today. I was hoping England was going to win, but I didn't get to see the end.
00:20:54
Denis Tyrell
And then yesterday it was like Cameroon and somebody. But because I like soccer.
00:20:58
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:21:00
Denis Tyrell
I actually enjoy watching. i would watch a hundred soccer games before I would watch a baseball game. Or tennis. Or um ah basketball, I don't mind.
00:21:14
Denis Tyrell
But I don't know. I like i i like soccer. I like the fact that. Unlike American sports, I like that the players don't know how much time is left.
00:21:26
Denis Tyrell
And they always they play hard right to the end. And it's not, most American sports are about watching the clock. They're very clock oriented. The soccer is not clock oriented.
00:21:38
Denis Tyrell
I like that.
00:21:40
echo_blades
You're like the fucking ah the teacher on ah the peanuts to me right now. mom more warm um more walk bo bo walk walk one more walk i Yeah.
00:21:53
Denis Tyrell
Golf is not is not clock oriented.
00:21:54
echo_blades
you're yeah
00:21:56
Denis Tyrell
It's one of the, that's because it wasn't made here. not any It's not an American sport, that's why.
00:22:04
echo_blades
i I love American sports. I love all sports. Soccer is just very, very difficult for me to to get into.
00:22:11
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:22:12
echo_blades
Very difficult.
00:22:12
Denis Tyrell
Well, you're not going to, even when it comes down to the finals, you know you're not going to get into it a little bit.
00:22:19
echo_blades
Sure, sure, sure, sure. But I can give a hoots hoot about anything happening right now.
00:22:25
Denis Tyrell
yeah well
00:22:26
echo_blades
But i can i can I can appreciate any two best teams going at it. And, you know, I...
00:22:31
Denis Tyrell
but Regardless of of not liking the game, Google like Netherlands crowd World Cup because it's crazy to watch it.
00:22:42
echo_blades
Okay, I will.
00:22:43
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that's your homework.
00:22:43
echo_blades
no No problem. i I'll do that.
00:22:47
Denis Tyrell
But yeah.
Mail Theft and Trust Issues
00:22:49
Denis Tyrell
Um, and I just found out right before I came up here that, um, people suck. And, uh, I had some mail stolen, which I'm really pissed off about.
00:23:01
Denis Tyrell
um we have one of those, you know, I'm on a cul-de-sac and we have one of the big mailboxes at the end of the cul-de-sac, which everyone has a mailbox, which you have a key to, and only u postal service can open it.
00:23:12
echo_blades
Thank you.
00:23:17
Denis Tyrell
Well, there's this I went over there and there's a letter on the side of it that says these have been being broken into. um Make sure you get your mail often. And I had something delivered like a week ago.
00:23:29
Denis Tyrell
And it was from USA Knife Maker. And ah for some folder parts I can't find anywhere else. um And now they're gone.
00:23:41
Denis Tyrell
And I'm really pissed off. So people suck. Now I got to make make that purchase again.
00:23:48
echo_blades
Check your mail, dude.
00:23:50
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, well, it's only been in there a week. It's not that crazy. and It's not like it's in a mailbox that anybody can open. It's in a locked mailbox.
00:24:00
echo_blades
People suck, dude. I want to bless your balls a lot more about it, but yeah, people suck, dude.
00:24:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. If I would have got it delivered to this crazy part, because I live in the back, at the very end of the cul-de-sac, I never get packages stolen because you'd have to come into the cul-de-sac and, you know, just people aren't going to do that.
00:24:07
echo_blades
I don't.
00:24:19
Denis Tyrell
if you lived on a corner maybe, but so I don't get packages stolen. So if if they would have been delivered UPS, it would have been fine.
00:24:27
echo_blades
I can't imagine. mean, I in a can because I was a drug addict for a long time and did really stupid things. But um like, how many mailboxes does one have to root to get something worth a piss?
00:24:43
Denis Tyrell
I know like,
00:24:44
echo_blades
Like, okay, they scored some folder. Like, what the fuck?
00:24:49
Denis Tyrell
I mean, it makes them know what they are.
00:24:52
echo_blades
I mean, yeah, you're going to get my bills. You're going to get my freaking my my ah graduation congratulations card with nothing in it because nobody does that shit anymore.
00:25:04
echo_blades
You're not going to get a big stack of cash or ah i mean, there's got to be some identity theft freaking, you know.
00:25:04
Denis Tyrell
No.
00:25:07
Denis Tyrell
no
00:25:10
Denis Tyrell
I guess it's identity theft. Like that's gotta be the only thing because who sends anything of value like in like these are the mail slots that are like an inch and a quarter high so it's not like you can really put packages in them like me only the you know the padded envelopes
00:25:23
echo_blades
yeah
00:25:27
echo_blades
that's because they're yeah that's because they're an inch and a half high they were just fucking loaded zooted ready to just come up i just did yeah that one that one doesn't i mean there's so many nice packages sitting on porches and so many freaking valuable things sitting in cars i mean like there's some things i'm like okay like
00:25:38
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:25:47
echo_blades
You know, but as fricking mailbox, like there's nothing in it.
00:25:52
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I don't get it.
00:25:53
echo_blades
I don't get it.
00:25:55
Denis Tyrell
At least a regular mailbox is big enough to put a package in. These aren't even big enough for packages.
00:26:01
echo_blades
Yeah. I don't know. Get better. Fricking drug addicts, thieves be better.
00:26:07
Denis Tyrell
And I want to know that there's no damage to it. So, Postal Service, what the fuck? what you Yeah, I know.
00:26:13
echo_blades
Oh, it's probably got a key. Yeah.
00:26:15
Denis Tyrell
if Somebody stole a fucking master key. Pisses me off. But...
00:26:22
echo_blades
Someone went postal.
00:26:23
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah. Right. Um, I don't suppose you've been in the shop lately, huh?
00:26:30
echo_blades
I have not, actually. um I um
00:26:35
echo_blades
i went in there Saturday. i guess sometime during the week I went in to grab something out of the... I don't know, whatever.
00:26:46
echo_blades
And I smelt epoxy. in my, in the garage, you like CA glue.
00:26:52
Denis Tyrell
This isn't good.
00:26:54
echo_blades
Yeah. And I was like, I'm like, I was telling Lynn, I'm like, I smell, I smell epoxy. Like what? And she's like, well, what is that? I'm like super glue. Like, I'm like, I know I'm not trip tripping, but, and I did, you know, a scan. And since everything is so neatly organized and everything, nothing stood out to me. And I did, you know, like I did, i said, I did scan and and I didn't see anything. And I was like, huh.
00:27:18
echo_blades
So I went out on Saturday afternoon. i was like, i should probably go out there and try to do something. And um didn't have any, was not feeling anything really.
00:27:30
echo_blades
um i was looking for one thing and i have i have misplaced a a heat treated knife blank that I was gonna do something to.
00:27:41
echo_blades
I can't find it right now. So there's that. And then as I was looking for that,
00:27:45
Denis Tyrell
You're so organized.
00:27:46
echo_blades
As I was looking for that, I moved something on my desk and this towel is um fucking start pulling this thing. I'm like, oh shit.
00:27:58
echo_blades
I don't know how, but I think it got so hot in there that the,
00:28:06
echo_blades
my CA a glue exploded the bottle.
00:28:10
Denis Tyrell
What?
00:28:11
echo_blades
Yeah. It's like the cap was off. Um, but the side of it was like ruptured. Yeah.
00:28:21
echo_blades
I don't know. But the whole thing was compromised in like a three quarters of a full bottle of fucking star bond bonded to my fucking desk.
00:28:30
Denis Tyrell
The thin or the medium?
00:28:32
echo_blades
Then, uh, the, I don't know. think it's, think it's a thin, thin.
00:28:38
Denis Tyrell
yeah that Yeah, the thin would make a mess.
00:28:39
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:28:42
echo_blades
It was, yeah, the the towel was stuck to it. i had a um ah a paper template of a knife, the handle. I couldn't save that. um And i I was out there for probably about half an hour fucking scraping, heat gunning, trying to get this shit out and rip the towel apart. and um Thankfully, that was like nothing else.
00:29:04
echo_blades
There was a lot of things around there that would have really pissed me off if they got if it got in there. But ah it was...
00:29:10
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, come to think of it, I had to throw a ah thin Starbond away like a month or so ago because it dried out. So.
00:29:19
echo_blades
yeah i don't know maybe oh it might have been the medium now that i think about it oh excuse me yeah i have the smaller bottle than you have um yeah i don't know it's never happened and i just i i don't know i just used it the the weekend before so um
00:29:21
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, because I don't use the thin stuff very often and I don't know how long it had been.
00:29:28
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I'm surprised, though, because that stuff like I've had this the same one for a long time that.
00:29:46
echo_blades
Yeah. I don't know. Um, but anyways, yeah, that was, that was crazy. Uh, so that's what I did for about a half an hour.
00:29:51
Denis Tyrell
yes
00:29:53
echo_blades
And then after I got through that, I was like, yeah, um, I'm like, yeah, no, I don't want to be in here anymore.
00:29:56
Denis Tyrell
You were sweating and then you decided no.
00:30:00
echo_blades
So I just, I just walked out, went, hung out with Lynn. So, uh,
00:30:05
Denis Tyrell
Oh yeah, I decided ah the ah last week i be I better actually start making some knives um now that you know things have calmed down and Toby and Leland have left, so I started... haven't forged anything in a long time.
00:30:21
Denis Tyrell
So, like, truly forged something to shape. So I grabbed that... um Remember that Nickelstorm pattern I did? The big buoy I had last year at Blade Show?
00:30:35
Denis Tyrell
Another one I'm talking about?
00:30:35
echo_blades
I do. Yes, I do.
00:30:36
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. So I had that other piece of that one. um So I figured I would... it's a very different looking buoy just you'll you'll understand when you see it it's not look like my typical buoy knife um but yeah forge that out no on purpose yeah on purpose
00:30:53
echo_blades
by On purpose or did you just... you or you didn't You didn't just, I just let the steel speak to me and just, I yeah i just free form flowed my forging.
00:31:00
Denis Tyrell
no no no no i i i didn't want to like Normally I always have the little shark fin at the top of the buoy.
00:31:15
Denis Tyrell
I didn't do that on purpose because i didn't want to actually stretch out the Damascus anymore. Uh, anyway, I was just, I was going for, it's very flowing.
00:31:26
Denis Tyrell
It's a very more flowing knife than I would typically even do. So, uh, curvy flowy. And then, uh, yeah, I forged that. I was pretty happy with it. Um,
00:31:39
Denis Tyrell
And then I was thinking about, i think I'm going to do that. um Do you know what a penny guard is?
00:31:45
echo_blades
I do not.
00:31:46
Denis Tyrell
That's where the guard has those discs at either end. It's kind of curved and it has like a big disc. You following me? You're not following me.
00:31:55
echo_blades
No one's ever accused me of having a big disc, dude. So, no.
00:32:00
Denis Tyrell
it it looks It almost looks like a coin. It's like the guard, watch my finger, like the guard will go like this, and then there's like a circle here, and it'll be like in this circle there. You see me?
00:32:10
echo_blades
Unfortunately, I'm not watching you because I'm looking up. Go ahead. I'm with you now.
00:32:14
Denis Tyrell
um
00:32:15
echo_blades
Do it again.
00:32:15
Denis Tyrell
I'm not gonna draw it again. Anyway, you'll you'll see it anyway.
00:32:18
echo_blades
Oh, fucker.
00:32:19
Denis Tyrell
But I'm gonna do that, and it's gonna be a frame handle with some Damascus as the frame, ivory um ah scales.
00:32:30
echo_blades
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Okay. I i see it.
00:32:32
Denis Tyrell
You following me now?
00:32:33
echo_blades
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
00:32:34
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. And actually reached out to Gabe Keeling um about doing the engraving. Doing some engraving on the guard and on those on like a spacer.
00:32:45
echo_blades
Oh, nice. I keep wanting to reach out to him to do my tattoo.
00:32:45
Denis Tyrell
With some
00:32:48
echo_blades
My to-do.
00:32:51
Denis Tyrell
to do.
00:32:52
echo_blades
My to-do. What do you mean? I said tattoo. The fuck you did, Toby? You said to-do.
00:33:01
echo_blades
yeah
00:33:01
Denis Tyrell
oh ah So, yeah, it'd be the first one I ever have engraving that I, I don't mean inlay, like the simple stuff that I do. I mean like fancy engraving on it.
00:33:13
Denis Tyrell
So I think that would look kind of cool. So I might have him do that. So, yeah.
00:33:19
echo_blades
Nice. If you don't want to make your own Damascus, I think you should go check out Baker Forge and Tool, um the masters of pattern-welded magic.
00:33:30
echo_blades
um This week, they have... One time, no restock, no reorders, ah patterns. um I think the theme was reincarnation. The two patterns are Thaw Ripple and Phoenix Chevron. um Yeah, you probably already got them, but if you haven't, go check out and see what's left. um I think that's really cool. There's One time, one shot done and yeah, never see it again.
00:34:00
echo_blades
So hopefully you jumped in on that. I know the app users got one day early access to the drops. I think that's noon on Friday for that. And then the interweb goes off the next day.
00:34:13
echo_blades
But you can go Load up your cart, use the discount code TTT10. um And while you're at it, you can throw some Gator Piss in, the ah OG blend, the Max or the Heavy.
00:34:27
echo_blades
Get yourself some Grime Reaper and some Gator Sin. And one of the only cool things Dennis has ever done for any of our sponsors is come up with a great, great, great saying to clean it, etch it, and protect it.
00:34:41
echo_blades
All with Baker Forge and Tool.
00:34:41
Denis Tyrell
That's right.
00:34:45
Denis Tyrell
That's right. Don't you forget it
00:34:48
echo_blades
That's right.
00:34:49
Denis Tyrell
And see, if I think if I would have ordered the the folder parts, if Lawrence would have had those folder parts in stock, I think he would have come to my house and stood beside the mailbox with a bat to make sure that nobody stole them. I think he offers that as a service. So you should order all of your stuff from Maritime Knife Supply and it won't get stolen out of your mailbox.
00:35:13
echo_blades
Yeah, it'll get,
00:35:13
Denis Tyrell
uh whether you need folder folder parts uh abrasives steel you name it go talk to lawrence at maritime knife supply yeah
00:35:22
echo_blades
yeah Yeah, he's got it. They'll have to come to your front porch to steal it. Okay.
00:35:30
Denis Tyrell
yeah uh i spent some time today reconfiguring the shop to make accommodations for Jaden from Fox River Blades, Fox River Knives.
Workshop Adaptation for Accessibility
00:35:43
Denis Tyrell
i And Jaden, by the way, I apologize. I called you Wolf River um last podcast. i I know it's Fox River. I had Wolf River because he's the master that, um he's the guy that got his master at at um Blade Atlanta this year. So I was talking to him about it. So I was getting my,
00:36:05
Denis Tyrell
my fox in Wolf Rivers confused.
00:36:08
echo_blades
I mean, he'll he'll figure it out after this weekend, but all you're doing is letting me know you're a horrible human being. just like And that's why I love you. But...
00:36:16
Denis Tyrell
Hey, I just spent hours reconfiguring the shot for this young man. um
00:36:21
echo_blades
I'm not...
00:36:22
Denis Tyrell
i i sent you the video. Actually, I posted on Instagram. I even thought this was sketchier than what I would normally try to accomplish ah because I was going to wait for you.
00:36:33
Denis Tyrell
to help me move the mill.
00:36:34
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:36:35
Denis Tyrell
Cause I lowered, and so James in wheelchair for everyone. So, and he's taking a folder class. So I want to make everything accessible for him. So I lowered one of the tables. Um, so it's a great height for him to work on. And I figured, well, i he's going to be using the mill.
00:36:52
Denis Tyrell
Um, so I need to take the mill off the stand cause it's way too high for him. And the mill weighs, I didn't actually weigh it, but it's, it's between 350 and 400 pounds. Like it remember Remember you and I lifted the the lathe?
00:37:07
Denis Tyrell
The mill is way heavier than the lathe. It doesn't look it, but it is. um Because I tried to budge it off the stand and I could barely move it myself.
00:37:19
Denis Tyrell
So it's heavy. um
00:37:21
echo_blades
I was waiting for the call. I knew were, we had talked about it and I figured it was we were going to do it.
00:37:23
Denis Tyrell
right and i was gonna call you and say hey after work today and i'm like oh but we got to record today and you're gonna be a pussy and blah blah blah and uh so i thought huh because i was looking up uh because i had the the the hooks in the ceiling for where the the dust collection system was
00:37:25
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah.
00:37:36
echo_blades
Thank you.
00:37:45
Denis Tyrell
And I'm like, I wonder if I could put a cable through those around the mill. And at first I was going to use a come along. Um, but then I thought, what am I going to attach it to in order?
00:37:58
Denis Tyrell
You know, what, what is my resistance in order to lift the mill? So I couldn't, I'm like, what what am I going to put around my anvil? That's not heavy enough. Anyway, it was a whole, ah whole ordeal. And then I thought I pushed the, I, I parked the Jeep close enough. So I could use the winch on the front of the Jeep over the hooks to to lift the mill.
00:38:19
Denis Tyrell
It actually worked like a charm. It looks sketchy as hell, but it did work.
00:38:25
echo_blades
Did you didn't actually video you doing it?
00:38:28
Denis Tyrell
i I really wanted to, but at the time it was just me. my um um My tripod was upstairs, so I couldn't like...
00:38:40
Denis Tyrell
Because I had one hand on on the mill, one hand on the on the um the winch, like like remote thing.
00:38:47
echo_blades
Remote thing? Yeah.
00:38:49
Denis Tyrell
And I was like, I just get't i just can't. I can't video it.
00:38:53
echo_blades
Yeah, because you sent me the picture and I was like, hmm, okay.
00:38:58
Denis Tyrell
Well, sent you a video showing it.
00:38:58
echo_blades
And then, was it the video?
00:39:00
Denis Tyrell
You didn't watch the video. It was a video. Yeah, it was a video showing the cable and then showing the front of the Jeep. You didn't watch the video.
00:39:09
echo_blades
I saw it on, oh, there is a video.
00:39:14
Denis Tyrell
Oh, yeah.
00:39:15
echo_blades
Oh, yeah, you're right. i Well, you had a picture right next to it after it.
00:39:18
Denis Tyrell
Well, the picture wasn't completed.
00:39:20
echo_blades
Yeah, so i didn't I just thought you showed me a ah before and after. I didn't see it in there.
00:39:25
Denis Tyrell
No, no, no.
00:39:25
echo_blades
But I did see it on on on Facebook or something.
00:39:29
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:39:29
echo_blades
And I was like, oh, this fucking jack wagon. That was a guaranteed disaster.
00:39:35
Denis Tyrell
the i was not
00:39:37
echo_blades
you could you would have told me you were going to do it I would have been like, I'll be right there, dude.
00:39:37
Denis Tyrell
I was not worried about...
00:39:43
echo_blades
We could drop it together.
00:39:43
Denis Tyrell
I was not I was not worried about the joist being able to lift it what I was worried about is those hooks pulling out um but that's why I used two of them um and it bent one like when you see it it's like bent in it like if
00:39:49
echo_blades
The hook pulling out. Yeah.
00:40:02
echo_blades
what I would have, that's what I would assume that wouldve would have, would have failed before it coming out of the joist.
00:40:08
Denis Tyrell
yeah Yeah. All I need is a, you know, $4,000 mill dropping on the floor. That would have been great, but I needed just enough.
00:40:14
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:40:18
Denis Tyrell
Like I wasn't trying to hoist it. I just enough to get it off the tray and then pull the table under it and then let it down. So anyway, it worked like a charm.
00:40:30
echo_blades
god i'm mean
00:40:31
Denis Tyrell
So.
00:40:32
echo_blades
i'm I'm impressed. Hillbilly engineering right there, buddy.
00:40:35
Denis Tyrell
that Someone else said that. um There was some funny comments on that post.
00:40:41
echo_blades
Yeah, Spencer, why don't you just pick it up?
00:40:43
Denis Tyrell
ah yeah
00:40:44
echo_blades
Well, you could, buddy, but the rest of us couldn't.
00:40:50
Denis Tyrell
um But I moved some of the stuff out of the shop just to make more room. um But yeah, I'm ready. Actually, the only thing I have left, I need to just draw ah take the you know those those liftable casters on the bottom of the Ameribraid.
00:41:07
Denis Tyrell
I need to um just take those off so it drops drops at three inches um because it's pretty high. I want to have it a little lower for Jamie. But um that's a great feature. The Ameribraid comes with those amazing um um casters that you can jack up and down and ah they're the best.
00:41:29
echo_blades
Don't say that again. Don't say that again.
00:41:32
Denis Tyrell
Shut up.
00:41:32
echo_blades
Do not say that again.
00:41:36
Denis Tyrell
um
00:41:36
echo_blades
and that's
00:41:37
Denis Tyrell
They're, uh, amazing. And it's just something that they include. So you guys got it. If you don't have an Ameribraid and you need a grinder, definitely check them out. All just all the little things about that grinder, um, surprise me, you know, every time I think about it. Uh, so go get yourself an Ameribraid.
00:41:56
Denis Tyrell

They got the fastback two by 72 grinder that I'm talking about, but also the hyper disc that, uh, rotary tool extraordinaire. That's can be a buffer. It can be a disc grinder and it has a whole bunch of other cool attachments.
00:42:19
Denis Tyrell
So, and lots of amazing attachments for the grinder.
00:42:19
echo_blades
Yes, sir.
00:42:23
Denis Tyrell

00:42:33
echo_blades
Nice. Have you set the rest yet?
00:42:38
Denis Tyrell
Oh, yeah. i I was, you you don't understand how happy I was when when I did that. i was like gleeful when ah when you and thank you for actually watching the video, um but when I saw that and when I said it, that really made my day when I can just...
00:43:01
echo_blades
I can't tell you how I still every now and again, just for shits and giggles, I'll check it. And it's just, it's right back home every time it is ingenious, simple, and just, just the, the coolest, like you said, yeah, you, you literally get, yeah,
00:43:08
Denis Tyrell
yeah absolutely
00:43:16
Denis Tyrell
it made me so happy because i i have a second rest on my ameribraid that is permanently set on an ankle just so i don't have to reset the main rest like that's how lazy i am that's how much i don't like having the zero but now i don't even reach for the other rest anymore because it goes back to zero instantly
00:43:39
echo_blades
That's right.
00:43:39
Denis Tyrell
So yeah, kudos to the boys at Ameribraid for thinking of that.
00:43:44
echo_blades
I agree.
00:43:44
Denis Tyrell
And Jared for actually watching one of the videos. At least he watches someone's videos because they're not mine.
00:43:53
echo_blades
Well, they still have momentum, dude. I can't say it.
00:43:59
Denis Tyrell

00:44:42
Denis Tyrell

00:44:53
Denis Tyrell
Yes, yes.
00:44:54
echo_blades
But like there's just there's there's a moment where you realize, like I know a lot how much retention if I'm asked about it. But man, it has been so informative. And I'm really digging this. I am really digging.
00:45:12
Denis Tyrell
You know what this is a sign of?
00:45:12
echo_blades
ah
00:45:14
Denis Tyrell
You're getting old.
00:45:15
echo_blades
I'm old. Yeah, 100%. 100%. hundred percent A hundred percent. There's no, I've already done all that.
00:45:20
Denis Tyrell
you're You're going to start watching World War II documentaries pretty soon.
00:45:24
echo_blades
I, yeah, that, that's, that's the, this was, this was new and I am like into it. Like, like the, one of the, the the things that when i was watching the George Washington one um was he, and I thought this is super cool because he started out in his twenties in the military for,
00:45:48
echo_blades
on the British military. And he, his goal and dreams were to be a high ranking military official and in the British, George Washington.
00:45:54
Denis Tyrell
Who are you talking about? Oh.
00:45:58
echo_blades
Yeah. Our first president. And he's, he got his ass whooped in his first couple of ah when he first had command. um And then they were dicking him around and then he went back and then they basically pigeonholed him and he was never going to advance. So he quit.
00:46:15
echo_blades
And I was just like, what a bad decision. Like you, you, you, if they would have it, you know, inched him or pushed him along into what he wanted to, we would, this whole thing wouldn't have happened. Like I, it was just fucking awesome to to see, but it was really weird to see him in a, in a red coat.
00:46:35
echo_blades
And, uh, you know, so that kind of, i don't know. That's what I'm doing. So sorry. No triple T's for me. um
00:46:43
Denis Tyrell
i so I see where I rank below the presidents, the dead ones.
00:46:48
echo_blades
That's right. Yes.
00:46:52
Denis Tyrell
um My video last week is on, was on ah beginner mistakes and how to avoid them. So it,
00:47:01
echo_blades
How did you say anybody's highly sought out and coveted style is stupid? Don't do that.
00:47:08
Denis Tyrell
No, no, didn't say that.
00:47:10
echo_blades
Oh, good for you.
00:47:11

00:47:19
Denis Tyrell
ah
00:47:20

00:47:33
Denis Tyrell
Um, but things like, you know, pins, uh, rings around pins and uh you know what was some of the other things um pins oh off center like when when your pins are like off center vertically it looks ridiculous um someone said oh you you should have mentioned uh sanding the front of your um scales before you glue them on i'm like oh you're right i mean i did miss that
00:48:07
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:48:08

Denis Tyrell
Except I used the Yoda... um ah there Do or do not, there's no try. um Yeah, couple things like that. And how to avoid them. And hey, stop doing dumb shit to your knives.
00:48:35

00:52:11
echo_blades
That's why, Dennis. That is why. dennis
00:52:15
Denis Tyrell
Um,
00:52:16
echo_blades
and is why
00:52:18
Denis Tyrell
um what else? Oh, I'm making some new demand. Remember that Damascus that, um, that kind of wing kind of pattern that I had in the buoy and, um, at blade show, you know, like the big one, the black one, you're looking confused.
00:52:33
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:52:35
Denis Tyrell
Uh, so that's that same.
00:52:35
echo_blades
No, I'm, yeah, that's that's my dumb look.
00:52:37
Denis Tyrell
bit Yeah. That's your usual.
00:52:41
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:52:43
Denis Tyrell
Um, I, that, that piece of that, scene I was going to reattempt that same one and make it, you know, more flowy that I actually wanted, but then I was looking and I know you don't
00:52:51
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:52:53
Denis Tyrell
Maybe you know this pattern, but I'm thinking you don't. But um there's a pattern from Jim Poor, which is pinecone Damascus. You ever seen that one?
00:53:05
echo_blades
You are correct.
00:53:06
Denis Tyrell
Yes. So I was looking at a picture of pinecone Damascus and thought, wow, that's that's the starting billet I have is really close to the starting billet for pinecone Damascus.
00:53:18
Denis Tyrell
So I'm like, I'm going to make a really fancy version of a pinecone Damascus. because it's got those gradient layers in the nickel. and Anyway, so i'm in I'm still in the middle of forging that one. I did the four-way today. Really excited about this pattern. I think it's going to look really cool. And I have a new folder, another new folder design that um has like fancy curvy bolsters on both the front and the back that I'm going to do in matching Damascus.
00:53:47
Denis Tyrell
So um yeah, stay tuned on this one. i think it's going to look really cool. There'll be a video on that one as well for sure.
00:53:54
echo_blades
Nice.
00:53:55
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. So lots of stuff coming up. I'm already
Sci-Fi Challenge Announcement
00:54:02
echo_blades
You know, it didn't. Okay.
00:54:02
Denis Tyrell
thinking about what I'm going to make for austin um for Austria.
00:54:09
Denis Tyrell
What were you going to say?
00:54:11
echo_blades
I was gonna say, you know what didn't get stolen from my mailbox? So as a direct result of the 2026 log song contest that took place inside of our room in play show,
00:54:34
echo_blades
I forgot to say this, but I ordered new sleep headphones and
00:54:37
Denis Tyrell
you ordered earplugs like
00:54:45
echo_blades
and And I did this in the middle of the night. i looked up. i looked up
00:54:51
Denis Tyrell
i think you must have been angry shopping
00:54:55
echo_blades
I was fucking pissed, dude. I'm telling you, you guys almost died. but i looked up best earphones or sleep headphone earbuds or some shit like that. And every now and again, I'll do this. I do it for golf stuff all the time. But it'll put together some like list 10...
00:55:16
echo_blades
ten um, items and, and it'll rank them from, you know, quality cost and, and give you their, their best recommendation.
00:55:24
Denis Tyrell
yeah yeah
00:55:26
echo_blades
Right. So this one, I go through them all and I, i you know, ranging from, you know, ah not like that much money to, you know, a lot of money. And I just went to the first and they always give you like Amazon links or links to, to the product.
00:55:41
echo_blades
And, uh, so this one was the top rated one was something called Clarius, um, um And I was reading about it as like, oh they're great noise cancellation, comfortable in your ear. ah the The cons were like, they're...
00:55:59
echo_blades
rarely in stock. I clicked the link. Oh, three in stock. I'm like, fuck it. I look in the, in the cost. It was like 80 bucks. So, and this is the middle of the night. am in the in the middle of getting fucking rattled the roof. all off And I just said, fuck yeah. Angry fucking click shop and, ah and put them in the cart and then fell, you know, asleep for three seconds, woke up and probably started looking for something else. But um anyways, I forgot that I did it.
00:56:28
echo_blades
And not too long ago, I looked and I was like, where the fuck is the tracker? Where are these things? You know, I, I ordered them, but i was like, what the fuck are they called?
00:56:34
Denis Tyrell
And you didn't actually order them, you just put them in the cart?
00:56:39
echo_blades
I couldn't remember it. And then all of a sudden the, the the brand Clarius came to me and I was like, what? You know, i was trying to find the name of the thing. And I'm best sleep headphones. click And dude, I get this AI response.
00:56:52
echo_blades
There is no brand called this. And I'm like, oh, fuck, I got duped.
00:56:57
Denis Tyrell
You were duped?
00:57:00
echo_blades
So I ended up finding it, and it is hilarious, but it it is a Chinese fucking knockoff of some headphones. They came today, and I'm like, all right. So they came today.
00:57:10
echo_blades
I opened it up. The fucking lid to the can the the case is already about to break after like four times of me opening it.
00:57:20
Denis Tyrell
Oh, they're like rechargeable kind of thing.
00:57:22
echo_blades
They're rechargeable. you if They are so cheesy, dude. I was, yeah. So chalk that up.
00:57:30
Denis Tyrell
Well, you bought em on Amazon, just return them.
00:57:30
echo_blades
i'm gonna um ah They weren't on Amazon.

echo_blades
well-rounded types of knives, some culinary, some EDC, some hunters, some Damascus, just good, nice, clean, some Cerakote, kind of almost kind of little distress thing like I did with the Stormtrooper.
01:02:41
echo_blades
But um I was digging what I was seeing, and then I looked up and I was like, wow, this dude's only got 243 followers.
01:02:48
Denis Tyrell
That's exactly what I thought.
01:02:48
echo_blades
i'm like,
01:02:50
Denis Tyrell
Um, cause expected to go up there and see thousands.
01:02:50
echo_blades
yeah
01:02:54
Denis Tyrell
Um, I couldn't believe it.
01:02:54
echo_blades
yeah Yeah. um So I was kind of shocked by that and thought, you know, that's what we do these maker spotlights for is to shout out known and even better, you know, people that don't have that much, you know, maybe just started this channel, i don't know, or the account, but yeah.
01:03:18
echo_blades
I just remember when I got shouted out, it was fricking the coolest thing in the world. So anyways, go check them out. Hubris underscore workshop on Instagram. Like I said, he's got 243 followers and yeah, go show them some love and tell them the boys at Triptisa.
01:03:34
echo_blades
What's up?
01:03:34
Denis Tyrell
No, no, no. 244. Come on. Don't shortchange him.
01:03:37
echo_blades
Oh, of two. Oh shit.
01:03:38
Denis Tyrell
I just followed him.
01:03:40
echo_blades
I was going to say, let me refresh. Hey, boom. Boom.
01:03:45
Denis Tyrell
Look at that.
01:03:45
echo_blades
He actually put his maker's mark on the, on the lows, on the heel of a chef knife. I don't think I've seen that on the,
01:03:52
Denis Tyrell
On what? Oh, yeah. Yeah, you don't see that very often.
01:03:58
echo_blades
I was kind I'm kind of digging that.
01:03:58
Denis Tyrell
Oh, that's cool.
01:04:00
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:04:01
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I see he's got some Copper Damascus in there, too.
01:04:01
echo_blades
right.
01:04:03
Denis Tyrell
Very cool.
01:04:04
echo_blades
yeah Yeah. Like I said, he's got a little bit of everything and I don't know where he's at, but, um,
01:04:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah. Some burnt trout.
01:04:12
echo_blades
He was at the Garden Valley Saturday market on June 13th.
01:04:22
echo_blades
Pick a Garden Valley. Go see him. Maybe that's not a one-time-and-done.
01:04:26
Denis Tyrell
He, uh, rural Idaho. That's where he grew up at least. Uh, yeah, sounds like he's still in Idaho.
01:04:36
echo_blades
Cool. Who do you got?
01:04:37
Denis Tyrell
I got that from his website.
01:04:39
echo_blades
I was going to go there, but you beat me to it.
01:04:41
Denis Tyrell
I beat to it.
01:04:43
echo_blades
You're so good, dude. Oh, yeah. No one's heard of this dude.
01:04:49
Denis Tyrell
You talking about mine?
01:04:50
echo_blades
Yeah. ah Hold on for this, guys. This is a freaking revelation. ah
01:04:56
Denis Tyrell
yeah I actually had, I thought for sure we had, we had done Mr. Salem st Straub before. But um we have not. I actually saw his latest video um rape before um right before this, and I really like that pattern um that he's done on that integral chef knife, which is kind of, I don't know what he calls this, a newish pattern. yeah he didn't give it a name yet.
01:05:23
Denis Tyrell
But it looks cool. i think It's kind of like like chain links, which he's been doing a lot lately, but um some other aspects in it.
01:05:30
echo_blades
the first video. Oh, yeah.
01:05:31
Denis Tyrell
uh, yeah, that little IG video he's got up there. So cool stuff. Um, if you're, if you're crazy and you don't follow Salem, go give them a, go give them a look.
01:05:37
echo_blades
okay
01:05:44
Denis Tyrell
It's just Salem Straub.
01:05:44
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
01:05:46
Denis Tyrell
and, uh, he's up in Washington, not too far from, uh, our buddy Noah, a couple of hours from Noah up there. And, uh, I'd say the great white North, but I guess it's not quite that far.
01:06:01
Denis Tyrell
Um, But yeah, Salem's an awesome maker and his website is prometheannives.com. But go check him out on Instagram and you'll see everything he does. He does YouTube as well.
01:06:14
echo_blades
He does some some good stuff. Quickly outpaces me though. He's a very detailed about his orders of operation and has the coolest and most awesome tools.
01:06:29
Denis Tyrell
He does. He's got some, he's got a really big power hammer. He's got a root, like ah the a massive bandsaw. He's just got some.
01:06:38
echo_blades
Yeah, really big is yeah kind of a theme there for him.
01:06:40
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah. We have tool envy.
01:06:43
echo_blades
Yeah, 100%.
01:06:43
Denis Tyrell
Take that however you want.
01:06:46
echo_blades
But there's any time anytime i'm ever like want to wow somebody that's not familiar with Damascus, I go...
01:06:46
Denis Tyrell
Um,
01:06:57
echo_blades
uh, to my good friend, Dennis, um, Baker, and then I'll show him the the chain link. Cause that's, that's the coolest thing that, that blew my mind when I saw that.
01:07:09
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that's good one.
01:07:10
echo_blades
Um, and I watched him he a long time ago. I was like, man, that, that, that pattern is just incredible. He's like, I'm going YouTube better on how to, how to do it.
01:07:20
echo_blades
And that's the one where I was like, yeah, I'm not, I'll have to grow up and get smart before I can follow that one
01:07:26
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, maybe finish a press.
01:07:28
echo_blades
Yeah. it It's not even the press dude. Like it just, that, that, that that is some serious creativity and vision to, to put that one together. Yeah.
01:07:37
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, yeah, that's definitely planning. There's no flying front of this, flying by the seat of your pants with a pattern like that.
01:07:40
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:07:44
Denis Tyrell
And there's a lot of planning involved.
01:07:47
echo_blades
I guess that's the, uh, the accidental cool looking Damascus and the, the very strategic and planned versions.
01:07:53
Denis Tyrell
Yes. Yeah.
01:07:54
echo_blades
So cool.
01:07:56
Denis Tyrell
Yep. Um, yeah.
01:07:58
echo_blades
I wasn't following him though. So I just followed him.
01:08:01
Denis Tyrell
oh
01:08:02
echo_blades
I'm kidding.
01:08:02
Denis Tyrell
Oh, um, on other news. The jet skis are finally working was out all day.
01:08:09
echo_blades
Oh,
01:08:09
Denis Tyrell
Most of the day yesterday, put a whole tank gas through the jet skis. There were, they're fine. They're working great. I'm very happy.
01:08:18
echo_blades
I misread your text message today then.
01:08:18
Denis Tyrell
So,
01:08:21
echo_blades
That's why I gave you the thumbs down.
01:08:24
Denis Tyrell
huh?
01:08:25
echo_blades
You text me today something about.
01:08:26
Denis Tyrell
No, no, that was something else.
01:08:30
echo_blades
Oh,
01:08:31
Denis Tyrell
That was something else.
01:08:31
echo_blades
No, it wasn't.
01:08:33
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, the thumbs down one was about a new new tool in the shop.
01:08:37
echo_blades
oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, I thought. Sorry. Sorry.
01:08:44
Denis Tyrell
No, I knew why you thumbs down that one. Yeah.
01:08:47
echo_blades
Yeah, sorry. I missed.
01:08:48
Denis Tyrell
said
01:08:48
echo_blades
Yeah, I put those. I mixed those. Yeah, fuck off.
01:08:54
echo_blades
I mean, great, but fuck off. See, it's great it's really. Guys, you'll never understand. i hope one day you get to have a friend like Dennis. because
01:09:08
echo_blades
There are good friends and then there's better friends to have.
01:09:12
Denis Tyrell
Oh, really? Like you're not going to get to use it?
01:09:15
echo_blades
That's what I'm saying. ah um' I'm saying you guys are all fucked. Like, my buddy's my buddy. and He's probably got cooler shit than you do. yeah
01:09:26
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, there may be a new tool incoming to the shop, so stay tuned. I'm sure I'll talk about it. It's still in the works, so nothing final yet.
01:09:34
echo_blades
That's great. Yeah.
01:09:38
Denis Tyrell
yeah um what was one of the wait what was the other thing i wanted talk about uh oh the sci-fi challenge um is we have all of the sponsors uh secured for the sci-fi challenge i'm going to be working on the announce video probably tomorrow yes tomorrow uh so that announced video will be out thursday morning um may be talking out a turn here i think yeah i think it's thursday morning which will announce the timelines um uh still waiting for confirmation on a few
01:10:14
echo_blades
you have all the channels involved already?
01:10:19
Denis Tyrell
um so it may be preliminary but i think on this one unfortunately we had a couple of the judges from the last challenge um are not able to part that would be judges for this one are not able to participate so that drops us to only like three judging channels so i've made a call and this time there's going to be no judges bracket
01:10:51
Denis Tyrell
But every channel is going to judge the channels. Meaning every judge every channel gets to vote on who they think the best build is.
01:11:04
Denis Tyrell
So there's still going to be a voting aspect that is not just from um the viewers. So that's the way we're going to do it. And you can't vote for yourself.
01:11:15
echo_blades
I was going to say, and everybody votes for themselves, and we have a fucking stalemate.
01:11:17
Denis Tyrell
no no everyone is gonna everyone is gonna vote for their first second and third place um builds of all of the builds so we'll and we'll know i'll know if they vote for themselves um but uh yeah that's how it's gonna work so there's gonna be no judges bracket on this one um which will make it a little it'll a little more fun um i think
01:11:18
echo_blades
That's fucking...
01:11:44
Denis Tyrell
because no judges bracket, no separate. Yeah. But um I'm excited. i already know what I'm going to build. I've already started. um haven't started the build. Don't worry, I'm not cheating. um But starting to think about the design and and getting some material together, things like that. So
01:12:09
Denis Tyrell
so excited. Should be fun.
01:12:12
echo_blades
I have a shit-eating grin on my face that you can't see.
01:12:14
Denis Tyrell
Yes.
01:12:17
Denis Tyrell
Jared, are you going to do it this year?
01:12:19
echo_blades
Absolutely not.
01:12:22
Denis Tyrell
is this Is this a fun topic for you or is this a meh?
01:12:27
echo_blades
Yeah, I'm...
01:12:30
Denis Tyrell
Come on, you can do the Stormtrooper. That's sci-fi.
01:12:35
echo_blades
Okay, maybe. Maybe.
01:12:38
echo_blades
Maybe.
01:12:38
Denis Tyrell
Um, the, the prizes for the viewers are even better this year. Plus we have a new, an additional sponsor this year. So, uh, yeah, I think it's pretty cool. I think the, uh, the viewer portion is going to be off the hook this year.
01:12:57
Denis Tyrell
I think we'll see some fun builds. I think the viewer ones are going to be more exciting than the, than the YouTube builds. I think we're going to see a lot of cool builds from the viewers. So.
01:13:09
echo_blades
We always do.
01:13:10
Denis Tyrell
yes yes yeah but i i don't know this one there's a lot of um you know the the military challenge yeah like the real this one is like you can see really off the wall builds so that's going to be interesting those are cool to see yeah anyway so stay tuned you'll see the announced video on thursday
01:13:11
echo_blades
We always do.
01:13:38
Denis Tyrell
All right. Do I have anything else? I got no other notes. I'm done. I'm done with you.
