00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:08,000
You break it, I fix it hour with Pilot. I am so glad to be back broadcasting to you today.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
You know that we are your troubleshooting touchstone in a trying time.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
If your website's down, your car's kaput, or your flamethrowing guitar isn't igniting properly,

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
you know what to do. Call Armageddon's one and only Fix-It Hotline radio station.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Today we're broadcasting from Treehouse down, and I could not be more excited.

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,000
So, if you want to call or write in, you know what to do.

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000
The link to this will be posted in Discord, or you can put your question into the chat.

8
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:46,000
I am always happy to give advice, but as always, it may be fun, it may not be good.

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000
So, let's get started.

10
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Before we put anybody on the spot, I do want to say that this program is brought to you by Hard Rock Coffee,

11
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
which is designed to help you stay up on late nights keeping watch and fixing engines.

12
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Hard Rock Coffee. Life is hard. Coffee shouldn't be.

13
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
While we wait, I will just play a little bit of music to cover our time, unless...

14
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Oh, here we go! It's our first caller, Maria from Jersey City.

15
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Maria, you're on the air. How can I help?

16
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Oh my god, it's so good to hear from you. I've been a long-time listener, a big fan.

17
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
You've helped me through some hard times.

18
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:41,000
You know, it's been okay here in Jersey, but I'm not far from New York City.

19
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
And increasingly, the lights, you know the weird lights that happen at night?

20
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
They've just been getting brighter and brighter.

21
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,000
I'm having trouble sleeping, and in this day and age, you need all the sleep you can get.

22
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
It's a little bit crazy out there.

23
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
So, I'm torn between do I continue to ignore the lights and do something about it, or should I investigate this?

24
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
I don't know. Most people... We're not crossing the bridge over to the island anymore.

25
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Nobody does that, right? That's crazy, right? I'm not crazy for not crossing.

26
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
But the lights? I don't know.

27
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Have you heard anything about these lights, or should I just invest in some light-blocking curtains of some sort?

28
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
I don't know. What are your thoughts?

29
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Yeah, yeah. I'm not in the Tri-State area myself, but I have heard all the stuff that's been coming out about New York City.

30
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,000
I think you are right not to go over that bridge. That is just some crazy stuff out there.

31
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:45,000
In regards to investigating the lights, I think it sort of depends, Maria, what kind of gear do you have?

32
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Do you have your protective equipment for radiation, heavy shock waves, anything like that?

33
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Because if you're going into a hazardous zone, you want to be able to make sure you take care of yourself.

34
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:09,000
So, I can give you advice on how to set up protective blackout curtains, white light, white noise type generator stuff for your house.

35
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:16,000
But if you're trying to go out, I need a little more specifics on what kind of equipment you have going on at home.

36
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
That's an excellent, excellent question. Yeah.

37
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Because that's what I don't know about the lights. Are they dangerous? Am I safe?

38
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Nobody seems to know anything about them.

39
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:31,000
I've got the standard kit everybody has. I make sure my kids, Tommy and Tony, they are good.

40
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
So, you know, what everybody is rocking these days.

41
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
So, nothing, I mean, there's a lot of competition for that stuff here.

42
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000
So, you know, you try to take care of what you got.

43
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
So, nothing, maybe not really adventuring gear, stuff to just keep you safe in your home.

44
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:54,000
So, you're packing, what, you know, flashlights. You've got standard heavy duty earplugs, things like that.

45
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:03,000
You've got, you got the acid rain jackets, anything like that, keeping that all safe? Good?

46
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,000
You know, the acid rain jackets recently were stolen.

47
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
And so I've been trying to find a way.

48
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
I don't know if you have any suggestions there about what I can do to replace that,

49
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
because now we're basically stuck inside anytime it rains.

50
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000
And it rains a lot now, you know, it's doesn't it rains.

51
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000
It rains like crazy and being this close to water, it makes me real.

52
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Yeah, you're coastal, you're coastal, that's no good.

53
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,000
All right, well, for replacing an acid jacket, maybe trying to fix up,

54
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,000
see if you can treat existing anything you've got.

55
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
I would say that the first thing to make sure you've got is any sort of covering.

56
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Like, you know, you've got a poncho, you've got some sort of long coat, maybe a blanket if you need it.

57
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Make sure you've got something that'll cover just about as much as possible.

58
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,000
From there, I think you're going to want to get it treated.

59
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Waterproofing, of course, you can waterproof fabrics just by dipping them in wax.

60
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000
It's not super, you know, it's not super comfortable, but that's a good first step.

61
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
I have a quick question about the wax.

62
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,000
So a little while back, I was really into Sensi, you know, that MLM, you know, I got into a lot of them.

63
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Do you think I could reuse my Sensis as a wax covering?

64
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000
I don't know. Is that, I'm not quite sure what it's made of, but do you think that would be possible?

65
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
You know, I think actually that might be a pretty good idea.

66
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:35,000
I don't know too much about Sensi myself, but I did hear that they were putting some interesting ingredients in to get the scent in,

67
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
to get it smelling just how you want.

68
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:46,000
And I think, you know, if you are melting that stuff down, you might be able to mix it with, well,

69
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,000
I was going to say hydroloptyne, that's a little hard to get just, you know, if you're out scavenging.

70
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Yeah, I'm going to try and spell it.

71
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Yeah, you don't need to spell it to grab it.

72
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:04,000
But I think maybe just for around the house, around the house stuff that you could pick out,

73
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:11,000
if you've got any kind of, you know, what am I thinking of? Milk.

74
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,000
If you've got any kind of milk that you can mix into the wax of the candles, if you're smelting on the Sensis,

75
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
I think that might react with...

76
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Do you think if it's in cheese form, I got a lot of palm, mozzarella, is it too late if it's already in cheese form?

77
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Do I got to stick to milk?

78
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
No, no, no, that could be good. That could be very, very good.

79
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,000
That's got the long term, you know, it's got the long term preserved properties.

80
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,000
I think if you shred it up real good and you melt it down, you can put it into the wax with the cheese.

81
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Got it.

82
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:45,000
And then, you know, you melt that out, you can lay out your blanket, your jacket, whatever you've got,

83
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,000
and you can sort of paint it on to get it fully covered.

84
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Might look a little weird, but it'll keep you safe from any kind of acid rain thing

85
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,000
that you are going to experience as you go out looking for those lights.

86
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
All right. Yeah, I greatly appreciate your advice.

87
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
I think the only thing I'll have to contest is my husband, Johnny.

88
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,000
He'll feel good about us using up the mozzarella to go out, but, you know, we got to stay safe.

89
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,000
It's hard times out there.

90
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,000
I mean, if anything, we have plenty of mozzarella that we stored up over the years here, you know, for such emergencies.

91
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
So thank you for your advice.

92
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,000
And, you know, if you happen to find your way up in Jersey, we'd love to take you for a slice sometime.

93
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,000
You know, I'd really appreciate that.

94
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000
You know, we're always on the move here with our setup.

95
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
We've got the van, it's got the antenna.

96
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
So, you know, we try to keep light if we need to pack up in a hurry.

97
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
So, you know, if we are ever down there, I will absolutely take you up on that, Maria.

98
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Thank you so much.

99
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000
All right. Take care.

100
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
You too.

101
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,000
All right, everybody. Thank you once again for tuning in.

102
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
I'm really excited to be here with you guys broadcasting once again.

103
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,000
It's been, you know, a little inconsistent lately, but I am glad that we're able to get back to you now.

104
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000
I can see that we have our next caller on the line.

105
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
It is Arthur calling in from Beaufort, South Carolina.

106
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
How's it going, Arthur?

107
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:13,000
It's going great, except, you know, some people I know, they have, you know, a house to live in.

108
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,000
And we're just kind of having the rough hit at the moment.

109
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000
And I know you've got some expertise on the automotive side.

110
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:32,000
So I'm just looking at ways of adapting my vehicle as a not just as a shelter, but a house, an actual home that we can kind of spread out

111
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:38,000
and adapt to things as they're, you know, slowly evolving.

112
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Yeah.

113
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,000
I know the last caller was looking for ways to waterproof things.

114
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
And this car, you know, it's good and all.

115
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,000
And, you know, it's good in rain, but it does leak when there's too much rain.

116
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000
It kind of seeps in from below.

117
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
I gotcha.

118
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:05,000
So in terms of like waterproofing and that kind of thing, you know, cheese is good and all.

119
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:11,000
I imagine Cheez Whiz probably is better in some ways because it's already a liquid.

120
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Yeah.

121
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Could fill in those cracks and voids.

122
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000
It's particularly good for fixing up cars, like you said, because you can get it in.

123
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,000
It's a little bit like that sealant foam.

124
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Sealant foam is pretty hard to come by these days.

125
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000
But Cheez Whiz, you've got it in those pressurized cans.

126
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000
It's pretty good for filling in the cracks.

127
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000
What kind of vehicle have you got?

128
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Is it, you know, sedan, midsize?

129
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Oh, it's one of them.

130
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
I guess it's a Hyundai.

131
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
We found it.

132
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,000
You know, they kind of had a reputation for being able to get into real easy lack.

133
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:51,000
You just kind of take the USB stick and stick it in there and walk off with it.

134
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000
We got it secondhand.

135
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Like I say, we're turning it into a home.

136
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
And, you know, so the brothers, they got the front half.

137
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
It's almost like the downstairs.

138
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000
And I've got the upper half, which is the backseat.

139
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
That's the upstairs.

140
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,000
And in terms of latrine facilities, again, we've had to adapt.

141
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,000
We used to have outhouses, and we're back to outhouses now.

142
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
I mean, whatever works, whatever you need to do, you know?

143
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,000
I understand.

144
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Yeah, you got to keep those things separated.

145
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Now, the best part is that we can get this thing, and, you know, we had just enough fuel to move on

146
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:40,000
and leave behind the latrine so we're not having to do all that fancy upkeep of an actual facility like that.

147
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:48,000
But, again, you know, our biggest concern was keeping the water from inundating from below.

148
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000
So I'll take that advice to heart.

149
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:03,000
We'll just have to go scavenging for some of that pressurized cheese whiz to keep the watertight bottom on that old Hyundai.

150
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Yeah, of course. Yeah.

151
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,000
I'm also now thinking about ways that you might be able to--

152
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:15,000
because the cheese whiz is good for, you know, plugging up any holes that might be leaking, any way for that.

153
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,000
But if you've got just sort of--you want to just sort of generally shore up the underside of your vehicle,

154
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:27,000
I'm thinking, you know, one thing that you might be able to do--

155
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:33,000
I don't know if you've got access to any kind of--what are they called?

156
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:43,000
You know, it used to be a Home Depot type thing, but now it's just those big, big stores where you can just sort of get any kind of--

157
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:50,000
if there's any kind of place where you can have it as a resource, you know, go in and get what you need when you need it.

158
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:58,000
If you can find any kind of like those sort of backyard mats that you would put--

159
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:05,000
not so much the welcome mats, but like they're a little tougher, I guess, for scraping off your boots and things like that.

160
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:13,000
If you can get those and really lay them down, down towards--in the trunk, in the footwells,

161
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:21,000
anywhere you're worried about the water getting up and in, you can use those to sort of create, you know,

162
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000
some sort of waterproof barrier because that's what they're for.

163
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:31,000
That gives me a good idea. We can get some towels. We could trade for some towels. I didn't know it.

164
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:40,000
And, you know, they're a little softer. They might plug the holes up better, but, you know, a mat, a big old mat might just do the trick also.

165
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:49,000
So maybe a combination of both things. But getting some of those goods, as you were talking about, is a little hard to do.

166
00:12:49,000 --> 00:13:02,000
So what we found was trading for things, bartering, as it were, is probably the best, best, you know, pathway to acquiring things.

167
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:10,000
You know, especially if you don't have it already. In essence, we also traded in a way, getting our Hyundai.

168
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:17,000
And from there, you know, I'm thinking we're going to have to probably trade to get some stuff.

169
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:24,000
So you got to have something to trade something. And so, lease-wise, we got the car.

170
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:32,000
And so what we found was that if we could find a wild animal walking alongside the road, you know,

171
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:39,000
you could just, you know, kind of veer off real quick and knock him down. Then you got something.

172
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,000
That's money in the bank right there. Trade that for some of them that are mats.

173
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,000
We're golden. We last all year, I can tell. That's what's going to happen.

174
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,000
That's a great plan. And I bet you're in an area where those larger animals are pretty common these days.

175
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Well, some of the smaller ones, yes. If we was further back from the coast, you know, where the bigger animals, like a bear or a deer,

176
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:12,000
might have more chance. But yeah, we're having to go after some smaller varmint types.

177
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:19,000
That takes a lot of gasoline sometimes going off in them fields to get a squirrel occasionally.

178
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:28,000
And sometimes, I hate to say it, some feral house animals. I don't like saying that, but, you know, meat's meat.

179
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:35,000
And it's good and you can trade it. But, you know, we got to keep this car. This car is our house now.

180
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,000
You do what you got to do. You got to keep your car running. You got to get the fuel. You got to get it taken care of.

181
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,000
If that's the shelter that you got, you got to do what you got to do. I understand.

182
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:55,000
We up here, we don't have so many of the big animals either. But we have this phenomena.

183
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:02,000
I don't know if you guys have the lights where you are. I know they're over in New York. You heard the last caller.

184
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000
That's right.

185
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:16,000
We have sometimes these sounds that come out, very low, sort of rhythmic kind of sounds happening, I would say twilight or dawn hours.

186
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:22,000
So you get a lot of the crepuscular animals. They come out and listen. It's like hypnotizing.

187
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:29,000
So if you're ever trying to figure, if you ever notice something like that happening in your area,

188
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:36,000
that you could be paying attention to dawn or dusk as good times to go out, see what kind of animals are out there.

189
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Definitely. Because I know, you know, like chickens, they know when it's light and they'll tell you.

190
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000
And other animals, they like to come out when it's safe.

191
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:54,000
So that, you know, as far as lights go, I have to say, they are coming at different times.

192
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:59,000
You don't always know when you're going to see them. And I have been, I've been fooled.

193
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,000
I've been tricked a few times with those lights coming up, thinking it was the wrong time of day.

194
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,000
And so when that happens, and that's how bright it is, I tell you, it is bright.

195
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000
It will wake you up just like the first caller said. It will.

196
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Mess with your sleep.

197
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Oh, exactly. Exactly. And you cannot black. There are no blackout shades for Hyundai as such.

198
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Again, you got to adapt. You got to acquire those things.

199
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:32,000
So, you know, got to get more towels or more mats or what have you, which means we got to go hunting.

200
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Well, I shouldn't say hunting, but, you know, driving and getting the small armaments collected up.

201
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,000
The point being that, you know, the lights are also not helping.

202
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,000
It is not a help. It is just downright frustrating.

203
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Yeah. You know, if you were just in, you know, ordinarily, if you were just in one place,

204
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:59,000
if you were in a house, you didn't have or, you know, small, whatever kind of shelter you had,

205
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,000
I would ordinarily say you could think about painting, but painting the windows.

206
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:10,000
But in a car, I know that's just a no go because, you know, you got to keep your eyes out for anything. 360.

207
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Understood. You know, you want to still obey all the laws.

208
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,000
The windows got to be clear to see through when you're operating the vehicle.

209
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:25,000
That's so pilot. I want to thank you so much for giving me that clear advice.

210
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000
And you have a good day.

211
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
No problem. You too. And, hey, you know, if it ends up helping, if you get the chance, call back in.

212
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,000
I always like to know how people are doing down the line. If there's anything I can do to help.

213
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,000
You got it. Thank you, Beth. Have a great day.

214
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:47,000
All right. Next caller I can see on our line, it is Chet from El Paso, Texas.

215
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Chet, how are you doing today? Well, I'm doing just fine. How are you doing, pilot?

216
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,000
I'm doing great. You know, I'm well, I'm getting by, let's say.

217
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Times are hard out there. Times are hard.

218
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:05,000
No, but go ahead. If I could, I just wanted to I wanted to say, you know, these lights people are talking about.

219
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:10,000
I have not seen any of those lights down here in Texas. I'm curious if you think they might be connected to the water,

220
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,000
because I'm nowhere near the water and I don't see any of these dang lights.

221
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:19,000
I don't know what people are talking about. So I'm just curious if I get your thoughts on that at some point.

222
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,000
But one thing I did want to say is your last.

223
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Caller mentioned the rumblings, and I tell you, we haven't had rain. We don't have the ass rain.

224
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,000
We got the dust storms. The dust storms are bad down here in Texas. They just keep coming and coming.

225
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,000
I had to give up driving my car because the engine just seized up. There's nothing I could do about it.

226
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Luckily, you know, down here in Texas, lots of wildlife ranches and things like that.

227
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000
So we were able to go poach some camels and some llamas, what have you.

228
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,000
And that's how we're traveling these days. But man, those, you know, whatever you call them,

229
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000
curpuscular rumblings, man, they come up, those animals just freeze up.

230
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,000
We can't go anywhere between six and like eight p.m. We're just stuck because they just sit there staring at the skyline.

231
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,000
We can't get them to move. I try kicking them, I try pushing them, I try leaving them with carrots, what have you.

232
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,000
I can't do anything. So I don't know if anybody else has had any issues.

233
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:12,000
But I guess what I was calling to ask about is, does anybody have any dust tips?

234
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:17,000
How do I deal with lots of dust? Is anybody else dealing with all this dust or is it just us?

235
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:22,000
And, you know, has anybody found any way to snap these dang animals out of that trance?

236
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Because, man, I'm trying to go get groceries. I'm trying to pillage.

237
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,000
I'm trying to do all these dang things and I just can't get them to move.

238
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000
So if you got any feedback on any of those, I would sure appreciate it.

239
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Yeah, Chet, no problem. You know, those are some great, great questions.

240
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:40,000
First thing off the top of my head, I'm also not coastal. I'm also a little inland.

241
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,000
So maybe it is the lights have to do with the water or something like that.

242
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,000
I think that's real good. I just try--well, you know, we move around a lot,

243
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
but I try and keep up on the news from a couple different areas.

244
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000
I think, you know, I would love to know if there's any other callers out there who are coastal,

245
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,000
who are--if you're not on the ocean, if you're near a big body of water or something like that,

246
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
if you're seeing the lights, we can try and figure this out together.

247
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,000
In the meantime, though, Chet, you had that question about how you get the animals to snap out

248
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,000
when they're hearing those rumblings. I'm wondering, you know, I asked Marie about this.

249
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:19,000
I'm afraid I did not ask Arthur about this, but do you guys have any of that sort of heavy-duty ear protection?

250
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Kind of heavy-duty earplugs, headphones, anything like that?

251
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Because I'm not sure right now how you'd go about retrofitting that kind of thing to animals,

252
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,000
but I'm wondering if it's something they can hear versus if it's something they can feel.

253
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:38,000
You know, when sound gets really heavy, strong vibrations if you're feeling it in your chest

254
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,000
versus if you're hearing it, what is getting to their attention?

255
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
What's keeping them in place, that kind of thing?

256
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Well, that is a good question. You know, I'm going to have to try finding something to stick in Darlene's ears.

257
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Now, Darlene, that's not my wife. That's my llama.

258
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:59,000
And, you know, because we got Rudy and we got Snapper, and those are two--and they're biters.

259
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000
I ain't going nowhere near their front ends. Their back ends aren't good either, but the front ends,

260
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,000
it's dangerous up there. But Darlene, she's a sweetheart, and, you know,

261
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,000
I might just try to find some random rags, towels, what have you.

262
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000
I know you guys were talking about Cheez Whiz before me. I'll sop them up real good with Cheez Whiz

263
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000
so I can wedge them in there pretty good and then see if that helps.

264
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,000
But, yeah, I never thought about the difference between the sounds and the rumblings.

265
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000
I didn't know--I never really thought about that.

266
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
I do have to say, you know, it might be a rumbling kind of thing because I notice the bats get a little loopy

267
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
when it happens too. So, you know--

268
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,000
They'd be extra sensitive for that. You guys have a lot of bats in your area down there?

269
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Oh, yeah, we got lots of bats. They come up from, you know, Mexico when it gets too hot

270
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000
and they head back down in the winter. So, you know, but you notice it's--

271
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000
the migration, the migratory patterns, they're getting a little off too.

272
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,000
So I don't know, you know, maybe that's connected to the rumblings or the lights.

273
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,000
You know, I don't know much these day, Pilots. I didn't know much to begin with,

274
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
and now that all this is going down, I know even less.

275
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
We're all figuring it out together.

276
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Yeah, so I would--for your questions, I would say trying that--

277
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,000
trying to see if you can block up Darlene's ears and see if that makes any kind of difference,

278
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
if it helps at all.

279
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000
For the dust, dust is a little trickier because, you know, just by its nature,

280
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:20,000
it gets in everywhere. It's a little harder, but if you can hook up some kind of small fan generator,

281
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,000
something pretty targeted, maybe you can blow it out of any of the most key areas.

282
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:33,000
I would focus on, you know, keeping--prioritizing, making sure you know what needs to stay dust-free,

283
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:40,000
what needs to stay clean, and what you can sort of let slide if you really have to, that kind of thing.

284
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Man, well, at this point, I just think--I just prefer myself to be dust-free.

285
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Yeah.

286
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
I don't really care about much else, but yeah, you know, we'll have to see.

287
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,000
You know, generators down here are getting all gummed up with the dust.

288
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,000
I tried the solar panels, but then the solar panels get covered with--it's just dust everywhere.

289
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
It's darker than the steers took us most times around here, so, you know.

290
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Solar panels don't sound like they're doing much good for you, then, in that case.

291
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,000
I'm sorry to hear it.

292
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Yeah, well, you know what? If we get any ideas or anything works, I'll call back in

293
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000
and share what we got with your listeners, and hopefully we can be of help to some people.

294
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,000
But I do appreciate you having the show, and we listen to you all the time and have good tips.

295
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
So thank you very much, Violet.

296
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Anytime. Thanks for calling in.

297
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,000
All righty. We've had some great questions so far today, and I hope we can keep them coming.

298
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,000
I think I can see our next caller here on the line.

299
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Bob from Chicago, Illinois. How are things out in Chicago, Bob?

300
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Oh, thank you for calling me--or for letting me call in.

301
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,000
I'm real excited to chat. I got time to kill, you know.

302
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:47,000
And stuck on the L on the train and all this nonsense going on.

303
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,000
I'm thinking I'm going to be here for a little while.

304
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:57,000
But I'm excited. I've been listening for a long time. Maybe you can help me out.

305
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:04,000
I got on the train to go to work this morning, and we've been stopped for a while.

306
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:10,000
There's lots of water below us, coming all the way in from Lake Michigan.

307
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:17,000
We don't get the light out here in Chicago, but--midwest, you know.

308
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,000
But we are getting hit with that acid rain.

309
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
So I'm real concerned.

310
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,000
And the main thing is I just want to get out of this train. I'm not sure what to do.

311
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Yeah. That's a toughie.

312
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Especially--it's raining right now. I assume it's just sort of been--

313
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000
from what I hear from your area, it's pretty consistent rain.

314
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Those big bodies of water.

315
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Yeah, and I think it's really the rain and the noise, like we mentioned.

316
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000
It's really bugging the Lake Michigan wildlife.

317
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:53,000
You know, we don't--normally not real dangerous body of water.

318
00:24:53,000 --> 00:25:02,000
But I'm seeing some concerning red spots in the water and bubbles.

319
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,000
I'm concerned. I've got to get to work or stay alive. I don't know.

320
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,000
I'm not sure what to stick with.

321
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,000
I'd say stay alive, then get to work. You've got to keep your priorities in order.

322
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,000
But okay, okay. So we're looking at trying to get you, one, off this train,

323
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,000
two, to work, three, out the rain, keep you out of any kind of animals

324
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,000
that may be coming up from around, maybe inside Lake Michigan.

325
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
I hope nothing's learning to walk out there.

326
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Does that sound about right?

327
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
With that acid rain, who knows?

328
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Who knows? All right. Okay.

329
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
And did you bring any kind of protective gear?

330
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
I don't know what kind of stuff you pack to go to work these days.

331
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,000
So I'm looking in my backpack, and my wife did pack water wings.

332
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Water wings, okay. It's a great start.

333
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Water wings sound like a good place to start.

334
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,000
They're going to keep you from, I think, from any kind of--

335
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
we're talking about animals coming up from the depths.

336
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Water wings are going to hopefully keep you at least afloat,

337
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,000
and give you that sort of--you can spend your time propelling

338
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,000
instead of just trying to tread water.

339
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,000
So let's see. What can we do with some water wings?

340
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,000
What can we do for you? Bob, let me think. Let me think.

341
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Okay. So I have a question. This is going to sound a little bit silly,

342
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:25,000
but I'd say, you know, how big, how pressurized are these water wings?

343
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000
How high pressure can you get them?

344
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Well, you know, I haven't inflated them yet, but I can give it a go.

345
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,000
I am real concerned about these fish that look bigger than normal.

346
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Yeah, the fish are concerning.

347
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Because what I'm thinking is, if you can get them really, really pressurized,

348
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,000
like real good, and I know this might be a little bit of a stretch,

349
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
you might be able to use them as propulsion,

350
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000
try and get yourself over the water,

351
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
and turn those water wings into regular wings, if you understand what I'm saying.

352
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:04,000
But it might be a tall order, given you're still on that--

353
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,000
you're still stuck on that train.

354
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Hmm. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see.

355
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Now, I'm not too familiar with the L.

356
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:18,000
What kind of seating arrangement type thing do you have going on?

357
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Oh, yeah. So it's chairs that face each other.

358
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,000
It's like the subway, but it's elevated.

359
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Okay. Okay.

360
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
That's why it's called that.

361
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:35,000
And, yeah, I mean, I can give flight a go, let you know.

362
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
I'm hoping we can maybe keep that a backup option.

363
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,000
I'm wondering if you and maybe the other passengers could work together

364
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,000
and try and get some of those chairs out off the wall, tip them up,

365
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
sort of V-style, turn them into a V-shape.

366
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Not ideal, but it could be a sort of canoe, if you really need to,

367
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000
if you really need to get started with that.

368
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,000
We'll get enough paddles together, because I'm real concerned about

369
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,000
these acid fish that are out there.

370
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,000
Yeah, the acid fish are an issue.

371
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,000
I'm also hoping, though, that the metal or the plastic,

372
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
whatever they make those seats out of, is enough to sort of keep them

373
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000
from biting through.

374
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
If you've got any kind of--

375
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,000
packed any kind of lunch for work today, I know people are sort of

376
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,000
more in the habit of packing what they can, carrying it with them,

377
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
than trying to depend on food when they get there.

378
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
I don't like to suggest it, but if you're in an absolute pinch,

379
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,000
you might be able to use that to distract some of the fish.

380
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Okay, yeah.

381
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
I think that sounds like a plan.

382
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000
I didn't like what I packed for lunch today anyway.

383
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
All right, all right.

384
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
All right, well, that's something.

385
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Is there anything I've left unaddressed for you,

386
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,000
any kind of questions I can help you out with?

387
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000
What do you work that's making you come into work these days?

388
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000
What do you work?

389
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Oh, it's one of those tech startups.

390
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,000
I got unlimited vacation, but sometimes they don't like it when I take it.

391
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Oh, yeah, that makes too much sense.

392
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Listen, you know what?

393
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000
If you're there, while you're there, you can use their generators,

394
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,000
their tech, any kind of thing that you can do

395
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,000
to just sort of redistribute that energy, get it out.

396
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,000
I bet there's lots of people in your area who are still needing it.

397
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Well, thank you.

398
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,000
I'll give it a shot, and hopefully it goes well.

399
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,000
You got this, Bob.

400
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Stay strong out there and fight off those fish.

401
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,000
I know you can do it, okay?

402
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Will do.

403
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Will do.

404
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Thank you for calling in.

405
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,000
All right, next caller I am seeing, Luigi from Italy.

406
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Is that you?

407
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Wow, long distance.

408
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,000
How's it going?

409
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Ciao, ciao, ciao, pilota.

410
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Ciao, Luigi.

411
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,000
How's it going?

412
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,000
How are you doing?

413
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,000
It's great to have you international caller.

414
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Grazie, very good.

415
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Grazie, molto bene.

416
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,000
I didn't know this.

417
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:02,000
Sorry, my English is not very good.

418
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,000
You're doing all right.

419
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,000
You're doing great.

420
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:13,000
But in Italian, in Italy, where I am right now,

421
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:21,000
gigantic, very big, how do you say, hella slime.

422
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Hella slime.

423
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Oh, I don't like to hear that.

424
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:33,000
In America also, gigantic hella slime, green slime,

425
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,000
very bad for your skin.

426
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,000
They going around absorbing people, these hella slimes?

427
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Yes, it also kill you and your family and the little baby deer.

428
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Oh, no.

429
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
The llama also.

430
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Oh, dear, oh, dear.

431
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Oh, no, I misspoke.

432
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,000
I'm so sorry.

433
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,000
In America, do you have the hella slime yet?

434
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Hella slime, I haven't experienced those so much.

435
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Well, you know, I'm traveling up and down the coast, inland a little bit,

436
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,000
back and forth.

437
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,000
We try and go a little bit of everywhere to make sure that we can reach

438
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,000
people in different areas.

439
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
I didn't know our antenna could reach as far as Italy.

440
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,000
That is amazing and very heartening to hear.

441
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Thank you.

442
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,000
But I do think I've heard reports of the hella slimes coming out of Florida.

443
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,000
So if we have any callers coming in from Florida,

444
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,000
if you want to report in and let us know what you guys are dealing with down

445
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
there, I would love to hear it.

446
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
But hella slimes, let's see.

447
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Are you looking for advice on how to outrun them, on how to fight them?

448
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000
What are you looking for, Luigi?

449
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,000
What can I help you with?

450
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Thank you.

451
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:44,000
I connect with your radio because I am in the mountains, high in the mountains,

452
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,000
and I have shortwave radio.

453
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:56,000
And I look for other people to find out the hella slime take over their country,

454
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
too.

455
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Yeah, all gone in Italy.

456
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000
I am the only one left.

457
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Oh, dear.

458
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Because I am very high.

459
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,000
In the mountains?

460
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
The hella slime has not made it to me yet.

461
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,000
I am outrunning the hella slime up the mountain.

462
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Okay, okay.

463
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
I see, I see, I see.

464
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
So you're in the mountains.

465
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,000
You've got valleys.

466
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Are there any other mountains not so near to you, I bet?

467
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
I'm on the highest mountain.

468
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,000
The highest mountain.

469
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Oh, dear.

470
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Okay.

471
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
And the hella slime has eaten everybody.

472
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Everybody.

473
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,000
But it's not in America.

474
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:40,000
It's surprising because America is like a great hella slime, no?

475
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:45,000
So now you exist and we're gone with all our artists.

476
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,000
We're gone.

477
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
So funny, right?

478
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Funny.

479
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,000
It is a little funny.

480
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:58,000
I've got to say, I am real sorry for your loss because that sounds rough, honestly.

481
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,000
It sounds pretty rough, Luigi.

482
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:08,000
As far as trying to escape, trying to outrun the hella slimes, I can't recommend flying to every single caller who comes in.

483
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,000
But have you thought about is there any way for you to build some sort of hang gliding device?

484
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000
I don't know what resources you're working with.

485
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,000
I don't have enough cheese for that.

486
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,000
No cheese.

487
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Oh, no.

488
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,000
I know that cheese is a big solution in America.

489
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Cheese whiz, which has never been exported to us.

490
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Not so much for you guys.

491
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,000
You have your more regional parmesan.

492
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:38,000
I don't know what kind of cheese comes out of the mountains of Italy, but maybe a little bit less flexible.

493
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Astiago is a very good cheese.

494
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
You would like that if we still had it.

495
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
You would like it very much.

496
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
But it's in the hella slime now.

497
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,000
It's in the hella slime.

498
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Okay.

499
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,000
I don't call for solution.

500
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000
All is lost in Italy.

501
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Just to see if we're alone, that's all.

502
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:02,000
I think, well, as much as I can give you, I think Florida is in a pretty similar situation.

503
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:09,000
If there still is a Florida, I've got to say, I'm a little fuzzy on that one there.

504
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:14,000
It's -- I really wish there was more I could do for you, Luigi, but it is good to hear your voice.

505
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:19,000
It's good to know that there's at least one survivor out there in Italy.

506
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:24,000
And I've got to say, please call back in any time you can.

507
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
I want to keep hearing your voice, okay?

508
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Grazie.

509
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Grazie mille.

510
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:39,000
And if maybe -- if I survive on my hang glider, I'll hang glide to Florida.

511
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,000
You got it.

512
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Hey, you know what?

513
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,000
On your way there, stop by Chicago.

514
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Stop by Chicago, pick up Bob.

515
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Sounds like he needs a friend to get him out of that jam.

516
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Okay.

517
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Arrivederci.

518
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Good to hear from you.

519
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,000
All right.

520
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,000
I see that our next caller -- wow, we've got a hot hotline today.

521
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,000
We've got Holly coming in from -- oh, you're pretty local.

522
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
So I'm out here in Treehouse Down.

523
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,000
We're a little outside Rutland, Vermont.

524
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
And, Holly, it looks like that is where you are from, too.

525
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Holly, how's it going?

526
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Hi, Pilot.

527
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Oh, my God.

528
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:20,000
So I don't know if you remember me, but, like, we used to be -- it's Holly Strickland from elementary school.

529
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Do you remember her?

530
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Oh, my God, Holly Strickland.

531
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,000
It's been years.

532
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,000
God.

533
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,000
It's so good to hear your voice.

534
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,000
I know, right?

535
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:32,000
So my family moved away for a while, you remember, in middle school, and that was devastating for us.

536
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,000
But, you know, my family's roots were always here in Vermont.

537
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:42,000
So, you know, when shit started happening, I was like, I've got to get back home, see if I can organize.

538
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:48,000
But, you know, just remembering deep -- because, you know, we can all see the signs of things are happening with the Earth.

539
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:55,000
You remember, like, when we tried to, for our middle school science project, build that solar oven so we could try to bake cookies?

540
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

541
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,000
And it was a cloudy day, and, you know, our parents tried to tell us, like, it's not going to work.

542
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,000
And then we forgot it outside, and then the sun came out.

543
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,000
And then we had charcoal instead of cookies.

544
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Oh, my gosh.

545
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Oh, my God.

546
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,000
That was a good time.

547
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,000
You know, I'd totally forgotten all about that.

548
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Do you think it's still viable?

549
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000
You know, I don't know.

550
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:24,000
We get sort of, you know, intermittent sunshine, but if it's something that -- if that solar oven project, you think it could still work out, is that what you're calling about?

551
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Or is it --

552
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000
You know, I'm just kind of calling back.

553
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:40,000
So, you know, I'm back into town recently, and I do -- you know, just, you know, thinking about, like, you know, it's so good to hear your voice because, you know, I don't think we imagined this is where the world would end up.

554
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,000
We kind of, like, talked about, like, how can we -- how can we survive if things go bad?

555
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:52,000
And so, yeah, I think I'm really invested in how, you know, the solar energies or whatever we can use from our resources to survive.

556
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,000
I'm trying to -- you know, the school's not really in use anymore in the same way it was, right?

557
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,000
It's kind of, you know, a ground for people to come get what they need.

558
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:06,000
So, you know, resources are limited, especially once it gets cold here, you know, in the winter.

559
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,000
So, you know, any solar projects you've heard from people that I could, you know, try to do?

560
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,000
I mean, baking cookies, maybe that's, like, you know, maybe that's step one.

561
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000
We need a little sweetness, you know?

562
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Stay well-fed, yeah.

563
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Yeah.

564
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Solar projects that I've heard from a couple people, well, you know, just first things first, I do have to say, if you're -- you've got that -- we've got that -- we've got the school.

565
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Big flat roof on that school.

566
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Good place to set up solar panels if you can get the chance, if you can get the resources.

567
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,000
I think solar projects that I've heard other people talking about, okay, we've got that solar energy.

568
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,000
We had one person call in from Montana a couple weeks ago.

569
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:58,000
They were thinking about how to set up some sort of solar panels and see if they could use them to get their -- to get their wagon, get that hooked up to the generator.

570
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:09,000
So that's a more of a mobile question, I suppose, but looking at solar power as an option for keeping your vehicles powered, for keeping oven -- oven, great.

571
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:14,000
Having some sort of way to cook your food consistently, I think that's a really good thing for you to pursue, Holly.

572
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,000
I think that that's a good plan.

573
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Yeah, you know, and I -- so, you know, I know we did -- you know, hung out a lot together, but there was one time -- do you remember, Jimmy?

574
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Oh, God, what was his last name?

575
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,000
It doesn't matter.

576
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,000
But he was a rebel, you know, he was cute.

577
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,000
And so one time he was like, I know how to get on the roof of the school, and I didn't believe him.

578
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,000
But then he showed me.

579
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
So I actually know how to get on this roof.

580
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:47,000
It's like weird to think that that weird memory is going to be up here at this moment.

581
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,000
Oh, God, man.

582
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,000
It's crazy that stuff comes back.

583
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,000
I wonder how that guy's doing.

584
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,000
I hope he's okay.

585
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,000
I know, gosh, seriously.

586
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:59,000
I mean, he's wearing his acid rain covering, so he strikes me as a guy that would not do that these days.

587
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000
You know, maybe he's off battling that slime.

588
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,000
I don't know.

589
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,000
I heard that guy, you know, from Italy.

590
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,000
I don't know.

591
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,000
This seems like the kind of thing he would get into and be like, ah, no.

592
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
He's got that intercontinental adventure vibe for sure.

593
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,000
For sure.

594
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,000
But, you know, he's making sacrifices for fashion.

595
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,000
I hope not.

596
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,000
For sure.

597
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:22,000
Well, you know, if you -- you know, I know you stay busy with this, but if you want to come on down to the school, too, you know, it sounds like you're going to be a little busy.

598
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,000
It sounds like you've gathered a lot of expertise and people around you.

599
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000
We'd love to have your help.

600
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Yeah, of course.

601
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:37,000
You know, if I come down, we can get you on the airwaves, or, you know, if there's anybody out there who wants to hop into the studio and share their stories, we're always happy to have guests.

602
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Thank you.

603
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,000
It's so good.

604
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,000
I hope we catch up, too.

605
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000
I mean, all the ridiculous stuff.

606
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,000
I mean, a lot of stuff I couldn't say on air right now and embarrass myself.

607
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Got to help.

608
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Got to.

609
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,000
We've got to keep some things in the memories, but it's good to hear.

610
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Yeah, exactly.

611
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Yeah, no, I appreciate you being -- you know, doing this during these hard times.

612
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
It's just a little crazy out there.

613
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,000
You know, we try.

614
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,000
We try.

615
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,000
But, hey, thanks for calling in, and if you get the chance, bake some cookies for me, okay?

616
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Oh, definitely, for sure.

617
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
I still remember your favorite.

618
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Snickerdoodle.

619
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,000
All right, everybody.

620
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,000
I think -- ooh, we are rolling along.

621
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000
I think it's time for our next caller coming in.

622
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,000
That is Mike from Niagara.

623
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Mike, how are you doing?

624
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,000
You are on --

625
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Hi.

626
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,000
You hear me?

627
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Yes, loud and clear.

628
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,000
I can hear you.

629
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000
You guys are coming in from -- are you right by the falls?

630
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Real close?

631
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Yes, definitely.

632
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,000
Falls are close by, yeah.

633
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

634
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,000
How are you guys doing out there?

635
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,000
I haven't had the chance.

636
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,000
It's wet.

637
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,000
Wet.

638
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Oh, yeah, I can hear that.

639
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Oh.

640
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Are they getting bigger?

641
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Are those falls getting bigger?

642
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Is that correct?

643
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,000
They are -- something's going on.

644
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,000
It's wetter than normal.

645
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,000
Oh, dear.

646
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,000
I don't like to hear that.

647
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,000
I'm trying to move a bit away from it.

648
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,000
I'm up Clifton Hill a little bit.

649
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,000
Okay.

650
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Still wet.

651
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Not normally wet here.

652
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Misty, very misty.

653
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Misty.

654
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Oh, oh.

655
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,000
I wonder what's in those mists.

656
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Okay.

657
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Well, you know what, Mike, what can I help you with today?

658
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,000
What are you working on?

659
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Or what are you struggling with?

660
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Oh, I'm just hearing all these things going on all over the world.

661
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Flying, Florida still here, problems.

662
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:20,000
I am wondering if this mist is part of it.

663
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Can you help me?

664
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,000
What the mist could be about.

665
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000
You know, that is a really good question.

666
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,000
I have had a couple callers, not from the Niagara area,

667
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,000
but I've had some people call in about mists in other, you know,

668
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,000
sort of inland bodies of water.

669
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Not Lake Michigan.

670
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Lake Michigan is still dealing with those acid fish.

671
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,000
But for the mists, I would say, listen, the big thing for mists,

672
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,000
the big thing you've got to worry about is visibility.

673
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,000
You want to make sure.

674
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,000
I can see the mist.

675
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,000
You can see the mist.

676
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,000
But if, are they coming, like, I,

677
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,000
what kind of rate are they approaching at?

678
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Have you, anybody that you know,

679
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,000
had to go into the mists for any kind of purpose?

680
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,000
I am in the mist.

681
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Okay.

682
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,000
I have no purpose, though.

683
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,000
I'm in it.

684
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,000
All right.

685
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,000
It's blue sky, though.

686
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Blue sky.

687
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Okay.

688
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,000
That's good.

689
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,000
I'm glad to hear it.

690
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,000
You keep your eyes on that sky.

691
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000
You make sure that, well, to the best of your ability.

692
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,000
I still are a sailormore.

693
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,000
It's still misty, though.

694
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Okay, okay.

695
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Listen, what I want you to do is I want you to keep an ear out.

696
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Mists can mess with your visibility.

697
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000
They can make it a little hard to see what's coming for you on the ground level.

698
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:31,000
They can make it a little hard to tell what's going on.

699
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:39,000
But I want you to, if you don't have any kind of light or anything you can do,

700
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,000
it's daytime out, so it may or may not be helpful to you.

701
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,000
What I want you to do --

702
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Get on the Ferris wheel?

703
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,000
You guys have a Ferris wheel?

704
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Why didn't you say so?

705
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,000
That is perfect.

706
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:53,000
That's going to get you great vantage point to see the whole area,

707
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
get you up in the air, outside.

708
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,000
I'm on it already.

709
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Don't worry.

710
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,000
You don't have to convince me.

711
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,000
I'm on.

712
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Oh, fantastic.

713
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Okay, okay.

714
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,000
It's misty.

715
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,000
All right.

716
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Is it misty all the way up the top?

717
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Still misty so far.

718
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Okay.

719
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Still blue sky.

720
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Okay, okay, okay.

721
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Listen, are you --

722
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,000
you're not the operator of this Ferris wheel, are you?

723
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,000
You're a passenger?

724
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,000
What's going on there?

725
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,000
I hope not.

726
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Oh, dear.

727
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Okay.

728
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,000
It was just going.

729
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,000
It's just going.

730
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,000
All right.

731
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Yeah.

732
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,000
That's interesting.

733
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,000
I wonder if you can turn that into some kind of water wheel.

734
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000
If you've got all that water going on, you've got that Ferris wheel.

735
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,000
But --

736
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Oh.

737
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000
It's clearing a bit.

738
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,000
Oh, it is?

739
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,000
It is?

740
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Okay.

741
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,000
I can kind of see.

742
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,000
You see.

743
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,000
Let's see.

744
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,000
What do you got in that area?

745
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,000
They usually head away from me, and they still are.

746
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Yes.

747
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,000
Okay.

748
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,000
All right.

749
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000
That's -- that's a good -- that can be a good sign.

750
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,000
That can be a good sign, depending.

751
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,000
Listen, how are you feeling lately?

752
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,000
How are you feeling lately, Mike?

753
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,000
Kind of excited.

754
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Excited?

755
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Yeah.

756
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,000
I'm enjoying this.

757
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,000
And I can see the falls now.

758
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Mm-hmm.

759
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,000
I can kind of see the problem.

760
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Okay.

761
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,000
And what might that be?

762
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,000
The falls are going up.

763
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,000
Oh, yeah.

764
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,000
You know what?

765
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,000
That'll get you.

766
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Okay.

767
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:19,000
That's why there's mist everywhere, but I don't know what the fish are doing.

768
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Uh-oh.

769
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Those birds that you mentioned, what do they look like?

770
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,000
What kind of shape are those birds?

771
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,000
What kind of --

772
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Well, they've got wings.

773
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,000
They're big, dark, colorful.

774
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,000
No fish, though.

775
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,000
No fish up in the air with those birds?

776
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,000
Some of them have fish.

777
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,000
Okay.

778
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,000
They're carrying the fish.

779
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,000
That's for them.

780
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Okay.

781
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,000
All right.

782
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Let's see.

783
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Upside-down waterfall.

784
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,000
That's a little outside my range of experience, but you know what?

785
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,000
We're going to try and get you through this.

786
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,000
Okay.

787
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Let's see.

788
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,000
I think in this situation -- ooh.

789
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Honestly, in this situation, my instinct would be to dig.

790
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,000
I need a barrel.

791
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
I think I need a barrel.

792
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,000
You can do a barrel.

793
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,000
You can do a barrel.

794
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,000
I don't know what kind of -- what kind of access do you have?

795
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,000
Do you have a barrel just on-site that you can grab, any kind of thing?

796
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,000
Or are you sort of strapped for barrels locally?

797
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,000
I actually opened a barrel shop in town.

798
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Oh, fantastic.

799
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,000
So I have lots, yeah.

800
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,000
You doing a good business these days?

801
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,000
A lot of --

802
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,000
No, I want, you know, want people to buy them to maybe go over the falls

803
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,000
in the barrel.

804
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000
I haven't sold any yet.

805
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:30,000
Yeah.

806
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,000
You know, you might -- now that it's going up, you might get some --

807
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,000
you might get some people who are interested in sort of that joy ride going.

808
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,000
Yeah, I'm interested.

809
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,000
Thrill ride.

810
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,000
Well, let's see.

811
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000
Is there anything in particular that I can help you with?

812
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,000
Because, listen, you know, I do like to support local businesses,

813
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,000
but if you're just here to plug your barrel shop,

814
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,000
I am going to have to ask if you have a question.

815
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,000
No, I'm just here to plug the barrel shop, to be honest.

816
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,000
Ah, well, you know what?

817
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,000
That's fine.

818
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,000
We all got to do what it takes.

819
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,000
And listen --

820
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,000
Mike's barrels.

821
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Takes barrels.

822
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,000
Clifton Hill.

823
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Takes barrels.

824
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,000
Clifton Hill.

825
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,000
I respect the hustle, Mike.

826
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,000
And, hey, anybody out there who's listening, if you are in the Niagara area,

827
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,000
if you are around, if you're looking for something fun to do,

828
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,000
it's sounding like those mists, not as concerning as I thought they might be,

829
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,000
you might just want to consider heading over,

830
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:25,000
getting a barrel from our pal Mike here, and taking a ride.

831
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,000
Call it Viagra Falls now.

832
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Oh, okay.

833
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,000
All right, I'm going to go grab my barrel and strap in.

834
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Sounds good.

835
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,000
You have a good one.

836
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Have a good time.

837
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,000
Thank you.

838
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Bye.

839
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,000
All right, all right.

840
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,000
Let's see who is up next.

841
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,000
I'm just taking a look.

842
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,000
We have a lot of callers out here today.

843
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,000
Let's see.

844
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,000
Big Petey calling in from Philadelphia.

845
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,000
How's it going, Big Petey?

846
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,000
What are you up to today?

847
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Hey, there, Pilot.

848
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,000
How are you doing?

849
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,000
I'm here in Philadelphia.

850
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,000
I know there's lots of crazy stuff going on out there, but I'm looking for love.

851
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,000
That's what I'm looking for these days.

852
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,000
It's not my usual business, but I'm happy to help.

853
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,000
What's up?

854
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,000
I've talked to everybody, and I'm getting nowhere.

855
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,000
I don't know.

856
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,000
It's hard these days finding a lady, Pilot.

857
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,000
The water is just terrible here.

858
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,000
It smells like a damn hoagie.

859
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Every time I take a shower, I come out smelling worse than I did when I went in.

860
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,000
I got halfway down the block.

861
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,000
The ladies are scattering.

862
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,000
I don't know what to do, Pilot.

863
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,000
I'm on my way to end.

864
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,000
I'm lonely.

865
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Holly, your friend Holly, it seems like you know her.

866
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,000
She sounded real nice.

867
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,000
So just say, "What's up, Holly?

868
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,000
How are you doing?"

869
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
That's pretty great.

870
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:46,000
I will say, she's not local, but if you guys can -- if you've got a phone line, but that

871
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,000
may be a little hard to manage in this time.

872
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,000
But you know what?

873
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:55,000
If you ever come up to -- if you're coming up to Vermont, come, let me know, let Holly

874
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,000
know.

875
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,000
We'll go get drinks sometime.

876
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,000
It'll be a good time.

877
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,000
But to your question --

878
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,000
Yeah, it's only -- what's that?

879
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,000
Like a two-week hike?

880
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,000
I ain't got a car no more.

881
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,000
All these cars are dying, and I ain't got enough Cheez Whiz to make mine run.

882
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,000
Hell, you know, we're here in -- I had to -- we're making cheese steaks, and I went

883
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,000
from using cheddar to the Cheez Whiz.

884
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Now everybody's using Cheez Whiz to plug up their holes and grease up their cars, and

885
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,000
apparently people are sticking them down in camel's ears in Texas.

886
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,000
I don't know what the hell, but now I'm down to using government cheese and cheese powder

887
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,000
and whipping that up.

888
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:28,000
And, you know, the beef's all gone, so, man, we're frying up rats and powdered cheese these

889
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,000
days, and I mean, it's terrible, Pilot.

890
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,000
And how am I going to get a label like that?

891
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,000
You can't say, "Hey, you want to come over for a rat steak?"

892
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,000
Nobody wants a damn rat steak, Pilot.

893
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,000
I mean, can't even get down to the Wawa.

894
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,000
The Wawa's all blocked up, the creek's filling up with that stinky water.

895
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:41,000
I can't go anywhere.

896
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,000
I'm, like, trapped here.

897
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:43,000
I ain't got no companionship.

898
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,000
I mean, I don't know, Pilot.

899
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,000
I don't know.

900
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,000
I'm at my wits' end here.

901
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,000
What's the best thing you can do to help me?

902
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:51,000
I don't know if you got any dating tips, dating advice in the apocalypse, if anybody out there

903
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,000
can just point me in the right direction.

904
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,000
I am lonely, Pilot.

905
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:59,000
You know, Big P, I got to say, this is a tough one.

906
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:04,000
I think we all are struggling to find a little connection out here at the end of times, but

907
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,000
I think that your question's a real one.

908
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,000
I think a lot of people are out there struggling with it right now.

909
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:13,000
You've got the question of just how you're taking care of yourself, what you're going

910
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:18,000
to do if you meet a nice lady, what are you going to--you're going to have a nice date,

911
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,000
what are you going to treat her to.

912
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:26,000
I think, listen, you know, I'm really sorry to be the one to have to say this, because

913
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:33,000
I know it's what you all are doing to sort of keep your identity going on in this apocalypse.

914
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Have you considered some other kind of sandwich, some other kind of meal that you might want

915
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,000
to--because, you know, it's some other kind of treat you might want to give her because

916
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:48,000
I'm thinking here, what you might want to do is focus on a way to stand out.

917
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Give whatever women you're talking to a sort of unique experience so that they go, "Hey,

918
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,000
this is a guy who's looking to the future.

919
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,000
This is a guy who's looking for something new.

920
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,000
He's looking to figure out a way forward right now.

921
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,000
He's trying things out.

922
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,000
He's experimenting.

923
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,000
He's got some sort of vision and drive.

924
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:14,000
And he's--if that means that we're not having a rat sandwich, if that means we've got to

925
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:20,000
try something new, this is a guy who knows what the future might look like."

926
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:24,000
I don't know if that answers your question.

927
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,000
I don't know if that's at all helpful.

928
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:34,000
But my other advice is if you can rig up some kind of water purification system so you don't

929
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:41,000
have to use the--crick water I think you called it--some kind of way of maybe evaporating it

930
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,000
into the sun--into the sun--evaporating it with whatever sunlight you guys are getting,

931
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,000
getting it sort of more purified, more clean.

932
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:54,000
You can maybe rig up some kind of shower with--I don't know if you have colander kind of thing,

933
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,000
anything like that.

934
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,000
Just trying to get it a little bit more purified.

935
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:06,000
That's more on the fix it, hack and stuff together thing, which is my end of things.

936
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,000
But do I know those answers help you at all?

937
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,000
Yeah, you know, they do, Pilot.

938
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:18,000
And you got me thinking--your last caller mentioned the mist sounds delightful.

939
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,000
The mist sounds wonderful.

940
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:24,000
So I think I might just hop on my electric bike, pack up some rat sandwiches, and head

941
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,000
to Niagara.

942
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,000
And I might just find a lady along the way.

943
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:32,000
You know, if I can't tempt her with my body smells and my rat sandwiches, then I mean

944
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,000
a barrel ride sounds like an adventure these days.

945
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,000
So, you know.

946
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Yeah, you never know.

947
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
There's lots of people hitchhiking out there these days.

948
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,000
You might just find someone.

949
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:45,000
Yeah, you know, go for a ride in a barrel, have a sandwich, you know, enjoy the crick.

950
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,000
It'll be nice.

951
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:47,000
Yeah.

952
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Maybe you can even go for a ride on the Ferris wheel.

953
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,000
Get a nice good view of that upside down falls.

954
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:57,000
After, of course, you have stopped by Mike's Barrel Shop.

955
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,000
Well, I'm going to do that.

956
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:03,000
And, you know, like I said at the beginning, you know, just, "Holly, how you doing?"

957
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:08,000
You know, I will stop by Vermont on my way up there and maybe we can make it a tandem

958
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,000
barrel ride.

959
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,000
You know what I mean?

960
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,000
We'll look forward to seeing you.

961
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,000
All right.

962
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Thanks, Pilot.

963
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,000
Okay.

964
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:16,000
All right.

965
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,000
Let me see.

966
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Our next caller.

967
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,000
I--hmm.

968
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Arthur.

969
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Is that the same Arthur?

970
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,000
Arthur from Central Florida.

971
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,000
You guys are--if that's you, you're moving fast.

972
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,000
Indeed, I am, Pilot.

973
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:38,000
Long time--well, short time listener, second time caller on this show, as you may already

974
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,000
know.

975
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,000
Amanda's got a real engine on her.

976
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:47,000
Oh, well, we got real curious listening to what everybody was saying, so we traded, you

977
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,000
know, some goods for some more fuel.

978
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:56,000
And me and my brothers, we traded off and we drove like the dickens down Florida.

979
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:02,000
You know, we're in South Carolina near the border, and so we kind of hauled on across

980
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:08,000
as fast as we could to see what was going on because, you know, it sounds like end of

981
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:14,000
days and all, and Florida's known for, you know, odd things at odd times of the year

982
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,000
and we just want to see what was going on.

983
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:22,000
So, we flew on down, you know, just drove and drove and drove, trading off, and, you

984
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:29,000
know, a caller from Niagara Falls was talking about water going in the opposite direction,

985
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:36,000
and we got down to the central part of Florida where the Everglades is, and now it's the

986
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,000
Everdesert.

987
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,000
Oh, dear.

988
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,000
Okay.

989
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:47,000
And there's kangaroo rats and gila monsters, which made it much easier to drive over them

990
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,000
because it's all flat, like a salt flat.

991
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,000
Yeah, I can imagine.

992
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,000
Not so much, you're not going to worry about, hey, you know what, you're not going to worry

993
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,000
about getting any of that water coming up in the car.

994
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,000
No ditches, no trees.

995
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Exactly right.

996
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,000
So, it was good pickings on them.

997
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:07,000
Well, you know, it's not, again, these are not big animals you can drive over, but you

998
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,000
get a lot by the end of the day.

999
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,000
I think it sort of adds up.

1000
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see that.

1001
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:17,000
So, I just want, you know, just trying to report in conditions as we was making our

1002
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,000
way south.

1003
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:24,000
So, just like I believe it was Chet was saying, it is dry the further south you go.

1004
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:30,000
We had too much water up home in Carolina, but down here it's just, oh, boy, it's kind

1005
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,000
of grim and dry.

1006
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,000
Grim and dry.

1007
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,000
Got it.

1008
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:34,000
Hey, you're even serious.

1009
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,000
I never thought it could happen.

1010
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,000
It's just, it's like the end of days, I tell you.

1011
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,000
It is a little bit like that, I do think.

1012
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,000
Listen, that's pretty coastal, too.

1013
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,000
I got to ask, are you seeing any of those lights?

1014
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,000
Well, I knew you was going to ask me that.

1015
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,000
I had a suspicion.

1016
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,000
I always got to ask about the lights.

1017
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:54,000
I got to check.

1018
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,000
I'm happy to report.

1019
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,000
The lights is, I guess, mostly up and down the east coast.

1020
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,000
I saw them again.

1021
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,000
I can't tell what time of day it is just by looking up.

1022
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,000
You know, it could be nighttime.

1023
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,000
I don't know.

1024
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,000
The lights is so bright.

1025
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Different times of the day.

1026
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,000
And, again, I can't say this enough.

1027
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:20,000
It is not helping one bit to have those lights interrupting everything.

1028
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:24,000
I was going to say you guys are taking shifts to see who's driving, how you guys are going

1029
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,000
to get some rest if you have to sleep.

1030
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:30,000
Even if you can drate off, you know, you're not going to get good sleep with the sleep

1031
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,000
of the day.

1032
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,000
It ain't easy.

1033
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:39,000
It ain't easy coming up with that roster of who's on deck, who's on watch, who's collecting

1034
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,000
up, you know, the little critters.

1035
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,000
But, again, we're getting by.

1036
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:49,000
You know, we're still getting our fair share of goods to barter with.

1037
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:54,000
And I have to say this Hyundai is holding up well, even though we about ran it into

1038
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:59,000
the ground trying to get down here, you know, and be able to call in again.

1039
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,000
It was not easy.

1040
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:02,000
It was not easy.

1041
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,000
But I'm glad to participate.

1042
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,000
Glad to hear her.

1043
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:10,000
And I wish everyone, you know, safe travels.

1044
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,000
Yeah.

1045
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,000
You too.

1046
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:16,000
It sounds like you guys are really, you guys are real troopers up there.

1047
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:20,000
I do have to, you know, it's just come to my mind, I do have to ask, it sounds like

1048
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,000
things are pretty dry out there.

1049
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,000
Have you passed any Hell Slime or do you think that's going on further south?

1050
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,000
That kind of thing.

1051
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:33,000
Well, I've been listening the whole trip down from Beaufort and I heard Luigi tell us all

1052
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:41,000
about the Hell Slime and that sounded like a vision, just a terrible thing, terrible.

1053
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,000
And so I was keeping a keen eye out.

1054
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,000
I really was.

1055
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,000
It put me on alert.

1056
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:53,000
And so, you know, as we was driving around, you know, the Everett Desert, it's like, well,

1057
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:58,000
I see, you know, it's still pretty flat and I'm hoping the Hell Slime doesn't camouflage

1058
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,000
itself.

1059
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:03,000
They're out on the salt flat that used to be Everglades, now the Everett Desert.

1060
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:10,000
So I was keeping an eye out and, you know, we came upon what I thought was maybe a quick

1061
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:14,000
sand, a little bit of, you know, wet spot.

1062
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,000
I think I might have found Luigi's Hell Slime.

1063
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,000
But not widespread.

1064
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,000
Not, you know, not chasing us nowhere.

1065
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:27,000
Like it was, you know, it's not like Luigi had a real bad, you know, as he got higher

1066
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:31,000
up the mountain, that Hell Slime was just cutting off all means to escape.

1067
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,000
But we was able to escape.

1068
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:40,000
Now, we've only got three wheels now because that Hell Slime is very potent, I have to

1069
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:41,000
say.

1070
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:45,000
So the wheel that touched it, that's gone.

1071
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:46,000
That's gone.

1072
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:53,000
So we was dragging, you know, you can imagine all down kind of crooked on one side.

1073
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,000
And thank goodness this car's got front wheel drive.

1074
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:00,000
Those Japanese cars is amazing front wheel drive.

1075
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,000
So we could lose both wheels as long as he's on the back.

1076
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,000
So we're down one.

1077
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:10,000
We could take it one more, but it's going to be a little tough after we lose that, lose

1078
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,000
that second wheel.

1079
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,000
I hate to think if we lost the front wheel.

1080
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,000
I'm glad you guys are still going on.

1081
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,000
I'm glad that's some advice that we can pass along to any listeners out there.

1082
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,000
If you have the chance, pick a car with four wheel, with the front wheel drive.

1083
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,000
If you get the choice, just, you never know when it'll come in handy.

1084
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:31,000
It'll save you in situations you thought you'd never be in.

1085
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,000
I tell you.

1086
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,000
All right.

1087
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,000
Well, thank you for calling back in and letting us know how you're doing, Arthur.

1088
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,000
I think that we have time for just one more caller real quick.

1089
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,000
I'm seeing Bob from Chicago.

1090
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,000
You're back.

1091
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,000
How's it going?

1092
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:46,000
Oh, thanks.

1093
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:47,000
I just wanted to thank you.

1094
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:51,000
We put our canoe together, and we're about to try it out.

1095
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:57,000
So, yeah, you know, we're going to launch this in the water right now, and we got a

1096
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,000
decoy ready, and I just wanted to say thank you.

1097
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:04,000
It was a brilliant, brilliant plan, and we're going to try it out in just a couple seconds

1098
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,000
here.

1099
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,000
Oh, great, great, great, great.

1100
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:08,000
I'm glad to hear it.

1101
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:14,000
Listen, I'm so glad that you guys were all able to come together and get that canoe rocking

1102
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:19,000
and rolling, and listen, you want to stick around on broadcast for launch, or do you

1103
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:23,000
think that it'll interfere with your setup to have the radio going?

1104
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:29,000
I think we're going now here, so, yeah, I'm going to stay on as long as I can here, so

1105
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:34,000
thanks for the advice, and we're going to take it in right now, and oh, God.

1106
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:40,000
[Applause]

1107
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:41,000
Well, you know what?

1108
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,000
It sounds like those guys were some real go-getters.

1109
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,000
They were putting together whatever they could with whatever they had.

1110
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,000
I am so, so proud of you.

1111
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:55,000
Bob, you guys, everybody on the L train, I think that you have been--people are really

1112
00:59:55,000 --> 01:00:00,000
just doing their best out there in this--tough times in this--you know what?

1113
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,000
I will come out and say it, this apocalypse.

1114
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Everybody, I'm so proud of you guys.

1115
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:14,000
I'm glad that you guys are out there plowing forward into the future, and I am, as always,

1116
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:23,000
honored, happy, just so, so lucky to be able to broadcast to you all today and to connect

1117
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,000
with you guys in this way.

1118
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:26,000
Thank you.

1119
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:32,000
This has been You Break It, I Fix It Hour with Pilot, broadcasting from Treehouse Down.

1120
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:37,000
Who knows when we'll get the chance to do this again, everybody, but it has been amazing.

1121
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,000
Thank you all, and have a great night.
